That’s why I named my son Justin.” It was a difficult journey reaching Canada. A restaurateur, who owned two restaurants in Damascus, Ahmed had to leave all behind for the sake of his wife, Zehra Elmuhammed, and their children, son Muhammed, 10; twin six-year-old boys, Raddat and Musan; and five-year-old son Sultan. They regularly heard the blasts of bombs and artillery. Schools had closed and the “kids were always crying,” he said.

A spokesperson for the Labour Program, Amélie Caron, said in an email that the incident involves an inter-provincial transport company, which is a federally regulated business. “It is the Labour Program’s highest priority to investigate every fatality and determine the cause in an effort to prevent future tragedies like this one. The Labour Program began its investigation following this incident, and it is still ongoing.” “We extend our deepest condolences to the victim’s family and friends, and to the co-workers who have been impacted by this tragic incident. We believe every employee has the right to a safe workplace, and to return home safely at the end of their work day.” She said that investigations involved a Health and Safety Officer gathering facts relating to the incident, analyzing and assessing the information to determine the cause of the incident and possible contraventions of the Canada Labour Code. She could not comment on the specifics of the incident, and the investigation is ongoing. Investigations vary in length depending on the nature and complexity of the incident. refugees, the family flew to Montreal and a day later were in their new home, Red Deer. Canada has lived up to their expectations. “I would like to thank all of the people of Red Deer and how they have helped us,” he says. “We don’t feel we’re strangers. We feel like this is our country. “We don’t feel different. Most people in Red Deer, as soon as they heard there was a new Syrian family they just helped us with everything they could. “People are very helpful, smiling faces everywhere. They are so polite to the kids.” The boys go to school at West Park Elementary School and all are learning English. The boys like their teachers, sports and their new friends. Ahmed said he hopes to open a restaurant in Red Deer and looks forward to a future where his sons have a good education. He wants to offer special thanks to Catholic Social Services and its staff, who have helped the family so much, and were by Zehra’s side throughout her pregnancy. Since December, 31 Syrian refugees families, 168 people in all, have been settled in Red Deer. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Blue-green algae advisories lifted Blue-green algae advisories on three Central Alberta lakes have been lifted by Alberta Health Services. Pine Lake, Alix Lake and Pigeon Lake are no longer under the advisories. Recent weather has cooled lake and reservoir water temperatures to such an extent that blue-green algae is no longer a health concern, AHS said in a statement issued on Wednesday. The algae (cyanobacteria) bloom advisories were issued earlier this year.

Mixed reaction Non-profit offers to pick up to Trump win containers as part of fundraiser BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF
A
mid cautious local reactions to Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election win were a few unequivoFor more cal cheers. “It certainly went coverage the way I hoped it of the U.S. was going to go,” said election, former Sundre MP and Conservative see pages Party member Myron 10-11, Thompson. “The voice 13-14, of the people was be- 25-26 ing ignored, and now it’s going to have to stop.” American-born Thompson believes Canadian politicians would be wise to pay attention. “If you haven’t learned the lesson that people are upset, you’re better look out!” The former teacher who came from Colorado to work in Alberta, feels Trump’s promise to stop jobs from leaving the U.S. resonated with “blue-collar workers of all stripes.” If the president-elect Trump works with a team of other Republicans to follow through on his campaign promises, Thompson believes, “People will be impressed.” Bradley Williams, president of the Red Deer and District Chamber of Commerce, called Trump’s win surprising, since it went against poll results. But he’s hopeful there will be benefits for Alberta. For instance, the millionaire entrepreneur has promised to revisit the scrapped Keystone XL Pipeline proposal, if there’s something in it for the U.S. “We are encouraged by this,” said Williams, who feels “Donald Trump is a businessman and understands the needs of business.” On the flip-side, Trump has also suggested NAFTA will need reviewing. Although his concerns were expressed mostly about the Mexico-U.S. end of things, Trump could also review the part that lowers tariffs with Canada. Tyler Bowman, of the Red Deer Downtown Business Association, predicted ripple effects if the U.S. gets tough on B.C. softwood imports, for example. “But we’re cautiously optimistic that there will be benefits.” See TRUMP on page 6

edicine River Wildlife Centre is offering a new collection service so busy Central Albertans can get rid of their drink containers and raise money for the non-profit centre at the same time. Volunteers will leave a collection bin at homes or businesses as regularly as required, record pick-ups and provide an income tax deductible receipt at the end of the year. MRWC executive director Carol Kelly said she was surprised to find out just how many people don’t bother taking their containers to bottle depots. “They just throw them in the garbage,” Kelly said on Wednesday. “We’ll provide the bin. Just throw them in the bin instead of throwing them in the garbage.” Kelly delivered three bins to a Red Deer volunteer Wednesday afternoon. About seven people in Central Alberta are already signed up for the service. The centre hopes about 100 participants will sign up who don’t already give their containers to other charities. Money raised will go towards the wildlife centre’s operational costs. She said the centre has been busy with 2,100 clients at wildlife hospital so far this year. In the fall, it’s mostly

More fowl could end up at the centre in the weeks to come, she said. “With this weather there are things that are sticking around, they’re not migrating. There’s still lots of swans and ducks and geese so we may get some of those when winter suddenly happens,” Kelly said. Red Deer City Coun. Lawrence Lee, who suggested the drink container pickup service to MRWC, said he had heard how well the program has worked for other charities and also promotes volunteerism.
“Volunteerism is so vital to building communities so it’s a great project,” Lee said. The wildlife centre is looking for both volunteers to pick up collection containers and clients who want to sign up for the new service.

REGIONAL WASTEWATER LINE
Council approves land expropriation BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF
City council gave the go-ahead for the commission in charge of a proposed $60-million regional wastewater line to seek the expropriation of about seven acres at a north-end industrial park. The request came before council on Monday from the North Red Deer Regional Wastewater Services Commission looking to expropriate land at Chiles Industrial Park. The line will move wastewater from Lacombe city and county and Blackfalds to Red Deer’s wastewater treatment plant. The motion passed 6-1 with Coun.
Tanya Handley voting against it. Councillors Lawrence Lee, Dianne Wyntjes, Buck Buchanan, Ken Johnston, Lynne Mulder, Frank Wong and Mayor Tara Veer voted in favour. Coun. Paul Harris was absent. “It’s not the city that’s engaging in the expropriation. It’s an application of the North Regional Line. Now the commission can proceed in making application before the provincial government,” Veer said. She said the city had to give its consent under the Municipal Government Act. Matthew Goudy, the commission’s chief administrative officer, said it was the first parcel of land requiring expropriation because an agreement
could not reached with a landowner. He said expropriation is a quasijudicial, highly-regulated process and the first step was to put the request before the city. Construction of the wastewater line is expected to begin in the new year and be completed by the spring of 2018. “We have looked at a number of other options of how to treat sewage locally and on the regional level. This is the lowest cost and most environmentally sustainable way to do this, to treat wastewater from the communities of Blackfalds and the City of Lacombe so were happy to see it move ahead,” Goudy said. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Can Praxis eyes expansion
EQUINE THERAPY
BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF
C
an Praxis is looking to grow its equine-assisted therapy program for veterans to include first responders who also suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Steve Critchley, who has run the program with psychologist Jim Marland since 2013, said expanding the program to first responders like police, ambulance and firefighters, will help ensure the program continues for veterans. “The farther we get away from Afghanistan, the farther back on the shelf veterans will be pushed until eventually they are forgotten about completely,” said Critchley, who runs Can Praxis at its main facility near Rocky Mountain House and also at Whitby, Ont. “Often a large portion of our participants come from the Bosnia, Rwanda, Somalia-era so we know there are large number of veterans who will be coming to seek our assistance in the future. We’re seeing veterans in the mid-60s who have just recently been diagnosed with PTSD.” Critchley, whose 28-year military career included a tour in Bosnia, said many veterans become first responders when they leave the military and no matter what uniform people wear, “PSTD is still going to screw things up.” “For people diagnosed with PTSD or operational stress injury, the stigma is still just as devastating and destructive in those work environments as they are for the military.” Can Praxis combines mediation and communication training with equine-assisted therapy for veterans and their spouses or partner. “A horse works on trust and respect, not loyalty, just like relationships. So working with horses helps people recalibrate their understanding of what trust and respect are, what they look like, how to provide it.” He said PTSD symptoms can include anxiety, anger, confusion and loss of confidence. Conflict and crisis is part of daily life and Can Praxis is making a difference in people’s lives. “The vast majority of people are seeing great successes. Around 87

Remembrance Day at time to acknowledge sacrifice BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF
W
ounded Warriors Canada sees Remembrance Day as a time to acknowledge the sacrifice of those living with operational stress injuries as well as honouring the fallen. There are many first responders coping with post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) and his organization has begun working to provide programs to help them and their families, as well as military veterans, said Scott Maxwell, Wounded Warriors executive director. “As our program has developed and delivered and grown over the past couple of years we have been
inundated and are in constant interaction with the first responder population, who have come forward to ask if they can have similar access to the programs we are funding.” “That’s what we want to do and that’s where we’re going,” he said. Wounded Warriors Canada announced last month it is funding a program of Can Praxis, a couples equine therapy program to help those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. It is offered in Rocky Mountain House and Whitby, Ont. Wounded Warriors is reaching out to key people with police, fire and emergency services associations to look at ways they can work together.
“It doesn’t take that long. It’s just a matter of establishing the right conversations with the right people,” he said. Police forces have already begun coming on board. In Ontario, York Regional Police was the first to form a partnership with Wounded Warriors and Toronto Metropolitan, Ontario Provincial Police and Waterloo Police followed suit. Maxwell said he hopes to expand to other police forces, including the national RCMP, now that they have a “template for success.” Wounded Warriors is committed to providing equal access to its programs, where spaces are available, no matter where someone lives in Canada. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com
per cent of people are finding relief from PTSD symptoms and improved communication.” The program has evolved into three phases. The third phase is held once a year with couples participating in a
three-day pack ride in the mountains. Critchley said this year Veteran Affairs Canada has provided Can Praxis with a second $25,000 grant to study phase two, which includes separate counselling sessions for
veterans and their partners.
Other Central Albertans were unimpressed by Trump’s election win. However, “if you are a believer in democracy, and if people vote a certain way, you have to accept that’s what they decided,” said former local Liberal party candidate Michael Dawe. Now that U.S. voters sent a strong
protest message Dawe is among those wondering how Trump will fulfill key promises, such as deporting a couple million undocumented immigrants, and building a very expensive wall between the U.S. and Mexico. “He said the Mexican government would pay for it, but I don’t think it’s a priority for them.”
American-born Red Deer resident Jim Westergard summed up his thoughts about the election by saying: “I’m very glad I became a Canadian citizen and glad that I’m here — but I’m worried about the rest of the world.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

The Central Alberta Falls Prevention Coalition hosted the second annual Walk with the Mayors at the Penhold Regional Multiplex to raise awareness for seniors on the importance of staying active, to help prevent falling. “When I started reading and understanding more about fall prevention, I learned that one out of three seniors are at risk to fall this year,” said Penhold mayor Dennis Cooper. “When we have people falling, it limits their mobility and they are more likely to fall again. It’s important to get out and moving.” With winter just around the corner, Monica Morrison, executive director at the Golden Circle Senior Centre in Red Deer, said creating awareness becomes that much more

Seniors are encouraged to use walking poles, said Mandy Johnson, Alberta ambassador with Urban Poling. “It’s like four-wheel drive. You’ve got for bases of support with two poles which is far better than walking with a cane and provides better posture. When you’re pressing down on the poles with y0ur hands, every step that you take is working your stomach, chest and arm muscles,” said Johnson. Public Health Agency of Canada reports falls cause 85 per cent of seniors’ injury-related hospitalizations, 95 per cent of hip fractures, $2 billion a year in healthcare costs and over one third of seniors are admitted to long-term care after hospitalization for a fall. jonathan.guignard@eddeeradvocate. com allegedly used a mobile device to film a boy using a theatre washroom. Voon was charged with child pornography, possession of child pornography and voyeurism and released on $75,000 bail. The 41-year-old was arrested again at the airport in Perth and is facing numerous charges there. Dan Laville, a spokesperson with Alberta Justice, says Voon has agreed to plead guilty to the Alberta charges in Australian court.
man who was fighting two photo radar tickets from the City of Red Deer received a letter from the Crown this week that the charges will be withdrawn. Jim Seward said Wednesday that it’s only a partial victory because he wanted to be heard in court on TuesJIM SEWARD day when he is scheduled to appear. Instead the charges will be withdrawn on that day. Seward said he wants to know why the charges are being withdrawn, and he will attend court anyways. He had intended to fight the tickets on the basis that it took too long to be served based on the provincial time guidelines of 21 days. He intended to call on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the right to be informed of charges without unreasonable delay. He also believed the photo radar locations were “fishing holes” used solely to bring in revenue for the City of Red Deer. Some City of Red Deer photo radar equipment still uses film and the turn-
around time of sending it to Eastern Canada to be processed, then back to Red Deer so it can be viewed, then the information being sent to a contractor to prepare a ticket to be mailed can take time. It can be even longer if staff shortages are involved. Seward, a retired RCMP officer, received both tickets in the mail Aug. 15. One was for $111 and the other was for $107. They were from different locations in Red Deer on June 8 and June 15. He said didn’t get the disclosure he requested from the Crown that he wanted for use in his defence. In that request he outlined 10 pieces of information he was seeking. Included in this was: Any and all internal documents or memorandums of the City of Red Deer relating to the tolerance levels for use of photo radar; and “any and all memorandums issued by the City of Red Deer to the photo radar unit and the staff members of said unit, from January 1, 2016, up to and including today September 30, 2016, as it relates to the photo radar program and the operation of said program, in particular any memorandums that relate to the number of complaints being received with regards to the use of the aged equipment and the delays in the procedure surrounding the issuance of violation tickets.” Seward said he encourages anyone who might have questions about their photo radar tickets to contact him on Facebook. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Notley troubled by allegations Sex was consensual: of harassment in PC race BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
E
DMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says it’s troubling to hear a female candidate say she dropped out of the Progressive Conservative leadership contest due to abuse and intimidation. Notley says the PC party needs to seriously investigate and report back. “If a party or a campaign cannot conduct itself in a way to ensure the most basic of rules around inclusivity — for instance anti-harassment — then quite frankly that party or that campaign is not equipped to govern the province,” Notley told reporters at the legislature Wednesday. On Tuesday, the two female candidates in the PC leadership race dropped out. One of them, Sandra Jansen, said in a statement she had been harassed and intimidated by supporters of another candidate, and accused fellow leadership candidate Jason Kenney of bringing “Trump-style politics” to Alberta. In a statement issued Wednesday, Kenney said, “I regret to hear of MLA Sandra Jansen’s allegations of having been treated disrespectfully at the recent PC policy conference and through social media.
“My campaign has exhibited a positive and respectful tone since it began. Neither I, nor any member of our campaign team, has engaged in personal attacks against other candidates. “I condemn any disrespectful comments or conduct directed at people in public life. “If anyone supporting my campaign has made personally disparaging remarks about other candidates, I would ask them to apologize and to participate in a positive and respectful manner.” The other candidate to drop out, former Calgary PC MLA Donna Kennedy-Glans, has said she was concerned the party was moving too far to the right on social issues, but didn’t mention being harassed. Progressive Conservative party president Katherine O’Neill said the committee overseeing the leadership race is investigating Jansen’s claims. “We need to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible,” said O’Neill. “We want to have an answer, not just for our membership, but (for) the public to know what’s going on here. “As a woman, I’m very disappointed that there’s a feeling out there that this party doesn’t welcome females or that we’re not inclusive. That can’t be further from the truth.” Jansen, in her letter, stated
the harassment she received from opposition supporters in the hallway at last weekend’s policy convention was “the final straw” in an ongoing social media smear and insult campaign. Both Kennedy-Glans and Jansen have also criticized Kenney for busing in delegates to the convention to vote for members of the youth executive. The youth wing has been given a number of votes for the delegated leadership convention, which takes place March 18 in Calgary. Kenney said having young members involved in the process is good for the party and democracy. There are now four candidates in the race: Kenney, PC MLA Richard Starke, former PC MLA Stephen Khan, and Calgary lawyer Byron Nelson. Kenney, a former Calgary MP, has polarized debate in the PC leadership race. He is running on a promise to call for a membership vote to collapse the party, then seek to merge it with the right-centre Wildrose Party and create a new big tent conservative coalition he said is critical to defeating Notley in the 2019 election. The Wildrose is viewed as more socially conservative than the PCs, and both Jansen and Kennedy-Glans have said they worry Kenney is taking the PCs down the same path.

Man jailed 12 years for kidnapping, cutting off thumb BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
E
DMONTON — An Edmonton man who cut off his victim’s thumb after abducting him has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. Steven Vollrath was found guilty in June of kidnapping, aggravating assault, possession of a weapon and impersonating a police officer. His victim, Richard Suter, was taken from his home in January 2015 by three masked men who tortured him and left him in the snow. Suter was awaiting trial at the time for crashing his SUV into a restaurant

Police look at impairment as factor in death COCHRANE — Police think a pedestrian may have been impaired by drugs or alcohol when he was struck and killed while walking on
patio and killing a two-year-old toddler. Geo Mounsef, who was having dinner with his parents and baby brother, was pinned against a wall and died. During Vollrath’s sentencing hearing, the Crown pointed to his lengthy criminal record, while the defence argued his was a case of mistaken identity. The prosecution also suggested the attack could have been a vigilante act, but Vollrath’s lawyer said there was no evidence to suggest that. Suter, a retired businessman, was found guilty of failing to provide a breath sample when there is a death
and sentenced to four months in jail. The Alberta Court of Appeal increased the sentence to 26 months. He has applied to the Supreme Court of Canada to have the original sentence restored. During Suter’s trial, court heard that he had been arguing with his wife while he was parking and mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brake. He testified that he had three drinks over four hours before the crash, but wasn’t drunk. The sentencing judge agreed that Suter wasn’t impaired and was given bad legal advice to refuse a breathalyzer test.
the Trans-Canada Highway west of Calgary. Investigators shut down the eastbound lanes of the highway for about four hours after the 37-year-old man died early Wednesday morning. Cochrane RCMP say a cab driver called just after midnight and said a man he had picked up had attacked him before he managed to force him
out of his vehicle. Mounties say a second call came in about a man dodging traffic near the intersection with Highway 22. A report surfaced sometime later that he had been hit by an eastbound sport-utility vehicle. The man has been identified as a Calgary resident.

ALGARY — A man facing trial for the second time in a high-profile sexual assault case said Wednesday his accuser never directly told him it was OK for the two of them to have sex in a bathroom at a house party. Alexander Scott Wagar, 29, was being cross-examined by Crown prosecutor Janice Walsh, who questioned him about whether he asked the alleged victim at any time if she wanted to have sex with him, or if he felt he needed to do so. “You made those decisions?” Walsh asked. “I made those decisions. She never said do this or do that. She never said no. She never said ‘Stop, I don’t want to do this’,” answered Wagar. “But she never said yes?” “No,” he said. “She never said yes directly.” He re-enacted in intricate detail how he and the complainant, who was 19 at the time, first had sex on the bathroom counter of a Calgary home in December 2011 and then moved to the shower. Wagar perched on the edge of the witness box and then crouched down, leaning back against it, as he gave a running narrative of what he said happened. He also explained how he lathered the woman up in the shower. Judge Jerry LeGrandeur cautioned Wagar a couple of times saying he didn’t need to go into quite so much detail. During the original trial, Robin Camp, who was then a provincial court judge, asked the complainant why she couldn’t just keep her knees together and told her “pain and sex sometimes go together.” Camp acquitted Wagar in 2014, but the verdict was overturned on appeal and a new trial was ordered. It is being heard by judge alone. A Canadian Judicial Council panel isvmulling over whether to recommend Camp, who is now a Federal Court judge, be removed from the bench. Wagar has insisted during the retrial that the sex was consensual. He testified the two had been smoking pot in the bathroom before it happened and he decided to “go for it.” “She didn’t shy away from me in any shape or form,” he said. “She said she liked me.” Wagar said he would never force a woman against her will. The case is scheduled to resume Thursday. Defence lawyer Pat Flynn told the court he still has not been able to contact another witness.

onald Trump’s real accomplishment is this: He has terrified the establishment. And maybe that’s a good thing. Even before the votes in the U.S. presidential race were counted Tuesday night, the effects of Trump’s insurgent candidacy roiled the world. A shameless self-promoter best known for his appearances on reality television, the New York tycoon was never supposed to make it this far – certainly not against an experienced politician like the Democrats’ Hillary Clinton. His outsized personality may have worked in Manhattan, where money gave him entrée to the political elite. In 2005, for instance, Clinton and her husband, Bill, were honoured guests at Trump’s third wedding. But Trump was never supposed to do well in politics. He was too bumptious, too contemptuous, too extreme. When he entered the race for the Republican presidential nomination last year, he was almost universally dismissed as a joke figure - as someone congenitally unable to master the art of getting elected. He broke all the rules. He didn’t spend money advertising on television; he didn’t hire seasoned campaign consultants. Instead, he relied on mass rallies, free television coverage and Twitter. After winning the Republican nomination, he didn’t feint to the
centre in order to attract independents and moderates. Instead, he doubled down on his core themes: deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are destroying jobs; illegal immigration is out of control; crime is rampant. In American politics, contenders often play the outsider card. In order to profit from voter dissatisfaction with the status quo, experienced pols routinely present themselves as brash newcomers. But in a very odd way, this moneyed real estate developer really was an outsider. He defied the elite consensus on globalization. He defied good taste. He told unabashed whoppers. He openly insulted and allegedly assaulted women. By focusing on the ills of the working class, he brought back into play a group of voters that both the Democratic and Republican establishments had ignored. His pitch to this group was at best nativist and at worst racist. But it resonated anyway. And for the political establishment, that is what was so scary. Traditionally in the U.S., the working classes have tended to vote Democrat. There have been exceptions. Republican Ronald Reagan attracted blue-collar votes, as did Richard Nixon before him. Otherwise, working-class voters in the northern states were viewed as belonging to the Democrats. The Democrats initially assumed it would do the same for Clinton. But this
time, they were confounded. In part, the Democrats have only themselves to blame. They haven’t neglected the labour unions, most of whom still back the party. But often, they have ignored the people these unions represent. Obama, for instance, promised to renegotiate NAFTA during the 2008 election campaign. He never delivered. The modern Democratic Party favours globalization, technocracy, high finance and well-to-do Hollywood celebrities. Bernie Sanders, the only person willing to challenge Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, didn’t even join the party until he decided to run. This election should deliver a warning to the Democrats. They cannot take the allegiance of the working classes for granted. For Republicans, the lessons are even starker. Their party, which has prided itself on free trade and family values, is so hollow at the centre that it was easily hijacked by a protectionist womanizer. And for the political establishment generally, this election should serve as a reminder of the power of populism. The elites tend to dislike populism. It is so untidy. But it is also a real and powerful force. If the left and centre don’t understand and harness it, the Donald Trumps of the world will. Thomas Walkom is a national affairs columnist.

OPINION
Biggest ‘what happened’ vote in history N
ot many things are certain in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s narrow victory in the U.S. presidential election, but FBI Director James Comey can rest assured that his job is His prediction Gwynne safe. of a new investigation Dyer into Hillary Clinton’s emails 11 days before the election (followed by a retraction only 36 hours before the vote) gave Trump the edge he needed to win in the close-run contests in the “battleground states.” Another sure bet is that Trump will not waste his time trying to send Hillary Clinton to jail, despite his many promises to “lock her up.” But this brings us rapidly to the nub of the matter: how many of his promises does he really intend to keep? If he keeps them all, we are in for a wild ride in the next four years. President Barack Obama, addressing his last rally before the election, said: “All that progress (we made) goes down the drain if we don’t win tomorrow.” So down it goes: the promising climate change deal signed in Paris last December, the Affordable Care Act that gave 20 million poorer Americans access to health insurance, the deal that per-
suaded Iran to stop working on nuclear weapons, and maybe the whole 68-year-old NATO alliance. Trump is often accused of being sketchy on the details of his plans, but he has actually given us quite a lot of details on these issues. He’s not just going to tear up the Paris climate accord, for example. At home, he’s going to dismantle all but a few “little tidbits” of the Environmental Protection Agency and, he says, revive the coal industry. He’s not just going to restart a confrontation with Iran. He has talked about closer co-operation with Russia in the fight against Islamic State – which, given Russia’s support for the Assad regime, might even give Assad a decisive victory in the Syrian civil war. Will he really deport 11 million illegal immigrants from the United States? (He back-tracked a bit on that.) Will he build a wall on the Mexican border? (He can’t walk away from that promise.) Will he ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.? (Not in so many words, maybe, but Muslims should not consider taking vacations there.) Will Trump tear up the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico, and repudiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership (a free trade deal linking most Pacific Rim countries except China) and the proposed Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (a sim-
ilar deal between the U.S. and the European Union)? Yes, yes and yes. Destroying the current “globalized” trading arrangements was a key part of his platform. Will he impose import duties on goods made in America’s trading partners in an attempt to “bring the jobs home,” including 35 per cent tariffs on Mexican-made goods and 45 per cent on Chinese exports. If he does, he’ll be starting a global trade war, and in the case of China a confrontation that could even turn military. How could almost half of American voters support all this (47.5 per cent)? Well, they didn’t, actually. They weren’t interested in the details. They just hated the way the country was changing. Many of them had lost out economically because of the changes, and they were all very angry. As American film-maker and social commentator Michael Moore predicted, Donald Trump has ridden to power on the back of the biggest “F--- You” vote in history. It was driven by the same rage that fuelled the Brexit vote in Britain last June, and it was equally heedless of consequences. Pro-Brexit British voters were more obsessed by immigration and Trump voters were more upset about jobs going abroad, but white working-class males provided the core support in both cases and the basic message was the same:
“Stop the world. I want to get off.” Populists like Boris Johnson in England and Donald Trump in the United States are just exploiting those emotions, but they are barking up the wrong tree. The basic change that is leaving so many people feeling marginalised and unhappy is not immigration or globalisation. Those scapegoats are popular mainly because you can imagine doing something to solve the problem: close the doors to immigrants, rip up the free trade deals. But the real change is automation: computers and robots are eating up most of the jobs. Seven million American factory jobs have disappeared since 1979, but American factory production has doubled in the same time. The United States is still the world’s second largest manufacturer, behind only China. So the populists can go on baying at the moon for a while, but sooner or later we will have to recognize that this is unstoppable change and start figuring out how to live with it. In particular, we will have to figure out how a large proportion of the people in developed countries can still have self-respect and a decent living standard when there are no jobs for them.

Letters to the editor POPLAR POINTE We have become very frustrated with the amount of letters written in protest (over 100), the ignoring of a petition signed by 267 residents, the anxiety voiced over the lack of water, and the continued disregarding of the ratepayers’ concerns with relation to the Poplar Pointe subdivision in this area. We have attended every public meeting including the MPC meeting, and have previously pointed out in our letters that the deficiency of water for this area has become a grave concern. Many residents in the surrounding estates have complained about the water, or lack of water in their wells to Red Deer County Council during the public meetings. Our main concern, of course, is that with such a huge subdivision there could be an additional loss of water for residents. We were shocked when we tested the static level of our well recently to find that it has dropped from 44 feet from the top (1979) to 86 feet 4 inches from the top (2016), a loss of over 42 feet. We
are, and always have been water conservationists. As you can imagine, this is a very serious concern to us. That is why we have been violently opposed to the development of 39 more houses, which will draw off the aquifer, whether there is one communal well or 39 individual wells. We strongly think that this subdivision should be put off until regional water and sewer are in our area. We are seniors and are supposed to be relaxing and enjoying our retirement years. This is certainly not happening with the decisions the County of Red Deer and County municipal planning commission are making. John and Sue Charles, Red Deer County
TRUMP VICTORY Wow. Donald Trump defied expectations, polls and the ruling classes, to become president-elect of the United States on Nov. 8. Admittedly I was amazed. When the New Democrats under the diminutive Rachel Notley formed
government, in conservative Alberta, I knew the ruling classes and political dynasties were on eroding beach heads. The status quo was not acceptable anymore. Trump ended the eras of the Clintons, the Bushes, the Kennedys, to name but a few, and brought in the age of protectionism for the underclass. Brexit was the result of ignoring the general population living more than a mile from London’s city centre. The signs were there all around us, Europe, Alberta, and in town halls all across the states, but the results were still enough to dumbfound the most imaginative political junkie. Trump’s win is not the anomaly many will have you believe, but a sign of awakening of the suppressed and ignored underrepresented working person. In Red Deer, will this development give impetus to the underrepresented working class resident living north of the river, too long ignored and too long deprived of the facilities and high schools freely offered to residents south of the river.
Will the city’s ruling class sit up and take notice and learn from this quiet revolution occurring south of the border, across the ocean, and in our province? The rumblings are there, but will it erupt into an anti-status-quo move in the municipal vote in 11 months time? Will the residents north of the river galvanize around a group of candidates, like the working class did in the U.S.? Will the inequities forced onto the residents north of the river, be addressed? I would not be amazed, after watching Donald Trump, anything is still possible. I still have hope. Garfield Marks, Red Deer
VICTORY NOT SUPRISING I am not at all surprised at the outcome of the election. The American people are sick and tired of the Clintons, from past experience. The scary part is that Trump not only won a majority in the house, but he also has a majority in the Senate. Time will tell. Lloyd Wongstedt, Red Deer

Klein still Candidates spar over mute in immigration in first debate court BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
S
URREY, B.C. — The case against a man accused of stabbing two girls at an Abbotsford, B.C., high school will move ahead despite the man’s persistent silence, a judge says. The court heard on Wednesday that Gabriel Klein, 21, hasn’t spoken with counsel, nor responded to questions put to him, during any of the his three court appearances since his arrest on Nov. 1. Klein faces one charge each of second-degree murder and aggravated assault linked to what police have said was a random attack that killed Grade 9 student Letisha Reimer, 13, and injured another girl. The identity of the second girl is protected under a publication ban. Klein was first scheduled to appear in court last Wednesday, the day after the two girls were attacked in the front entrance of Abbotsford Senior Secondary. But it ended before it began because he would not leave the courthouse cells to appear in person, the court heard. “This is not a voluntary system we’re in. It’s a coercive system,” B.C. provincial court Judge Richard Miller told the court. “He’s in custody and the proceedings are going to proceed at pace.” Klein arrived in provincial court in Surrey on Wednesday in a wheelchair and covered in a blanket. He rocked back and forth and showed no reaction as Miller asked him several times whether he had anything to say. “Given your silence on these issues, I don’t see any alternative available to me other than to send you to the next step,” Miller said, speaking to Klein. He ordered that the accused be sent to B.C. Supreme Court in order for a date to be set for a trial before a judge and jury. “It seems to me that you would be well advised to start to talk to people, in particular counsel, who are there to assist you,” Miller said, eliciting no response from Klein. “However, if you choose not to, that is your choice and we will carry on to the end.” Neither Klein’s duty counsel, Wayne Burns, nor the Crown lawyer has asked for a fitness assessment to determine if he is mentally fit to stand trial. Burns told the court he believes Klein’s mental health is questionable, based on meeting with him twice.

ASKATOON — The 12 people vying to lead the federal Conservative Party took jabs at the Trudeau government’s proposed carbon tax and backed the idea of pipelines in their first leadership debate. But when it came to immigration, the contenders had more to politely spar about. MP Kellie Leitch said she shares the idea of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump that newcomers should get more screening. Leitch said only one in 10 people coming to Canada sees a trained immigration officer. “Everyone on this stage supports immigration, but I’m the only candidate who will require face-toface interviews of new immigrants and screen for Canadian values,” said Leitch. Former MP Andrew Saxton said Canada needs the right immigrants with the right skills to fill jobs, while Winnipeg Dr. Daniel Lindsay said Canadians need to be safe but added that “immigrants make this country.” MP Deepak Obhrai, who is an immigrant, took Leitch to task. “Donald Trump’s divisive policy on immigration and social policies have no room in Canada that I believe in,” said Obhrai. “Unfortunately one of my colleagues admires Donald Trump. But let me tell you … I will not stand for any

All this talk about Canadian
values, that’s what it boils down to.” Trump’s U.S. election victory weighed in heavily in the Conservative leadership debate, amid concern that he wants to renegotiate trade agreements. MP Michael Chong said the election result should concern Canadians when it comes to trade. Fellow MP Andrew Scheer said he would put pressure on Trump to keep trade deals.

Jury finds python owner not guilty in deaths of New Brunswick boys BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
C
AMPBELLTON, N.B. — A jury has found a New Brunswick man not guilty of criminal negligence causing death after his python escaped its enclosure and killed two young boys three years ago. Four-year-old Noah Barthe and Connor Barthe, 6, died during a sleepover in Jean-Claude Savoie’s apartment in August 2013. The python escaped by travelling through a ventilation duct and dropping into the living room where the boys slept. A pathologist who performed autopsies on the boys said they died of asphyxiation and each
was covered in puncture wounds from snake bites. Savoie and his relatives wept in court as the verdict was delivered Wednesday night, eight hours after the jury began its deliberations. Savoie, 40, declined comment as he left the court, but defence lawyer Leslie Matchim said his client was relieved. “It’s been quite a roller-coaster road for him to have been implicated in this matter, investigated and at one point told that there would be no charges,” he said. Matchim said an investigation by the RCMP and two subsequent reviews concluded that charges were not appropriate. He said he received that assurance in writing.
The lawyer said a new lead investigator was then appointed and suddenly his client found himself facing a charge. He said Wednesday’s verdict is ultimate vindication for his client. “This tragedy took a tremendous toll on him. He was really like family to those two victim boys and that is something that he absolutely has to carry for the rest of his life,” Matchim said. Mandy Trecartin, the boys’ mother, showed little emotion and declined comment as she left the court Wednesday night. Crown prosecutor Pierre Roussel said the family was disappointed with the verdict, but said it’s too soon to consider whether to appeal.

Trump presidency unnerves firms, economists BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
T
he prospect of a Donald Trump presidency unnerves businesspeople and economists who see him as a reckless novice who might disrupt trade and a struggling global economy. Financial markets sank Wednesday as Trump declared victory following a campaign marked by fiery anti-foreign rhetoric and promises to tear up trade deals, restrict immigration and lock up political rivals. Trump’s shifting and radical positions on key issues and lack of details such as who might be appointed to Cabinet posts heightened jitters by leaving many uncertain about the direction of the world’s biggest economy and market. “We simply can’t know what type of President Trump will be,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist for Capital Economics, in a report. “Will he be the demagogue from the campaign trail, who threatened to lock up his political opponents, punish the media, build border walls and start a global trade war?” said Ashford. “Or is he capable of becoming a statesmanlike figure who leads in a more measured manner?” Due to such uncertainty, risks to global growth will rise as companies wait to see what Washington does, said South Korea’s finance minister, Yoo Il-ho, according to a government statement. In a victory speech, Trump was conciliatory but pledged to put U.S. interests first. He gave no additional details about his plans. “I want to tell the world community that while we will always put America’s interests first, we will deal fairly with everyone. With everyone. All people and all other nations,” Trump said. “We will seek common ground, not hostility. Partnership, not conflict.” Trump’s campaign tapped frustration among American workers who feel hurt by globalization and the loss of well-paid manufacturing jobs. The celebrity businessman threatened to penalize U.S. firms that shift jobs abroad. Proposals including building a wall along the Mexican border to block immigration resonated with working class voters who felt abandoned by traditional leaders. Trump’s success reflects an economic anxiety that governments of many nations need to heed, said James Zimmerman, chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China. He said similar strains led to Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, the Arab Spring movement and other jarring political changes. “These are concerns that global leadership must be aware of,” said Zimmerman. Trump’s victory was likely to lead to a shift in U.S. Federal Reserve policy. The Fed had been thought all but certain to hike interest rates at its next meeting in mid-December, reflecting a strengthened U.S. economy. But the uncertainty generated by a Trump victory could prompt the Fed to wait. An analysis in June by Moody’s Analytics said fully adopting Trump’s proposals on taxes, trade, immigration and government spending would slash U.S. economic output and eliminate 3.5 million jobs. It said the U.S. economy would be “isolated and diminished.” Other countries also will suffer similar losses if Trump makes good on promises of a more aggressive approach toward China, Germany, Japan, South Korea and other trading partners, economists said. In Germany, 1.5 million jobs depend on exports to the United States, the country’s biggest trading

Trump cannot tear up existing trade deals, but concluding new ones “will be significantly more difficult,” said Fuest. U.S. import barriers could hit economies such as China and South Korea especially hard as they struggle with sluggish growth. China’s exports in the first 10 months of this year fell by 7.7 per cent from the same period of 2015 while its latest quarter economic growth of 6.7 per cent is the lowest quarterly level since the 2008 global crisis. Initiatives such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership being negotiated by the Obama administration with Asian governments are “as good as stillborn,” said Eugene Tan, a professor at Singapore Management University. “Based on his campaign rhetoric and promises, he is off to a bad start in terms of engendering trust and confidence of U.S. allies and partners in the region,” Tan said. Trump offered so few details during the campaign that he left the impression the White House would run on instinct. That has made many uneasy about the direction of the world’s largest economy and market. “Trump appears to have only a passing grasp of policy, so it is important that he appoints people with experience,” said Ashford. “This is where Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, could prove to be pivotal.” Others looked for a bright side to Trump’s proposed immigration curbs. South Korean tech firms might be able to lure foreign workers away from Silicon Valley if a Trump administration makes it harder to get visas, said Marcello Ahn, a fund manager for Quad Invest-
ment Management in Seoul. “Those engineers could come to us,” said Ahn.

TransCanada to push XL pipeline
C
ALGARY — TransCanada Corp. says it’s evaluating ways to engage the newly elected Donald Trump administration on the potential benefits of the Keystone XL pipeline. Company spokesman Mark Cooper said Wednesday that TransCanada (TSX:TRP) remains fully committed to building the controversial project that U.S. President Barack Obama rejected last year. President-elect Trump has said he is in favour of the 1,900-kilometre pipeline, and invited TransCanada to reapply for approval as part of his platform. Last November, the Obama administration rejected Keystone XL, which would bring bitumen from Alberta’s oilsands to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries, deeming it not in the U.S. national interest. In response, TransCanada has filed for NAFTA arbitration and is seeking $15 billion in damages, claiming the rejection was arbitrary and politically driven. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has supported the pipeline, while interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose urged Trudeau in a statement Wednesday to move quickly to push the project forward.

Mexican stocks, peso take a beating following Trump victory BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
N
EW YORK — Global investors are seriously worried about Mexico. The election of Donald Trump as the next president of the United States has caused investors to bet heavily against Mexico, its currency and Mexican companies. They worry that Trump’s plans to build a wall along the border, throw out undocumented immigrants and renegotiate trade agreements will damage the country’s economy. The peso fell 8 per cent Wednesday to roughly 20 pesos to the dollar, its lowest value against the dollar in history. In comparison, the peso traded at roughly 13.50 pesos to the dollar two years ago, well before Trump announced his candidacy. The stock market in Mexico fell more than 2 per cent. Trump’s threats to repeal or renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, as he has said
repeatedly on the campaign trail, are real and so is the potential damage to Mexico’s economy. The United States is Mexico’s largest trading partner and NAFTA makes up the backbone of that commerce. Exports from Mexico into the U.S. have risen more than six-fold since 1993 under NAFTA, according to a 2015 report from the Congressional Research Service. It has also had impacts like allowing Mexican farmers more unrestricted access to U.S. markets for their agricultural goods, like corn. Trump has promised to redo trade agreements and slap tariffs on cars manufactured in Mexico. While Ford Motor Co. was Trump’s campaign punching bag for moving production to Mexico, most major automakers and parts suppliers have factories there due to lower labour costs. In fact, Mexico was the leading supplier of automotive products to the U.S. in 2014, according to the CRS.

It’s unclear whether they now will have to rethink their strategies. It’s partly why automakers got hit hard on Wednesday from the news of Trump’s victory. General Motors, Toyota and Fiat Chrysler shares all fell roughly 2 per cent. Ford shares rose 1 per cent on unrelated news, and had been down earlier in the day. Not only would U.S.-Mexico trade be affected under a Trump presidency, but if his rhetoric holds regarding deporting the millions of undocumented workers in the U.S., that could also have a negative impact to Mexico’s economy. Mexicans living abroad, most of them in the U.S., send a lot of money each year back home to support families. Last year $24.8 billion in remittances were sent to Mexico. That money is a direct infusion of cash into the Mexican economy, used to buy goods and services. If those workers must return from the U.S., that money will no longer be entering Mexican families’ pocketbooks. “What are those people going to do? They will have to find a way to survive on this side,” said Reyes Isidro, a barista in Mexico City.

B.C. premier congratulates Trump, says province will work toward lumber deal BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
V
ICTORIA — British Columbia Premier Christy Clark is congratulating incoming American president Donald Trump, saying the U.S. is a close friend and partner of the province. “Alongside the government of Canada, we will work diligently and with determination to ensure we protect and grow the relationship that is crucial to working families in our province on issues like free trade and a new softwood lumber agreement.” The softwood agreement reached in 2006 expired more than a year ago and negotiations to renew it are continuing as B.C., one of the world’s largest exporters of softwood lumber, tries to promote its wood products globally. In a statement issued on Wednesday, Clark said presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s run for the top office in the U.S. was an important signal to millions of girls and women. Clark said last month that women’s equality in politics was suffering because of the toxic presidential race.
She also condemned Trump during the U.S. election campaign for lewd remarks he was caught saying on video more than a decade ago about touching women without their consent. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said it’s too early to speculate on the impact the Trump win would have on the city. “Certainly, many people are hurting after such a bitter campaign, with far too much racism and sexism,” he said. “I think the United States and everyone connected to it have a lot of healing to do right now.” Robertson spoke against Trump’s proposal for a ban on Muslim immigrants last December, when he sent a letter to a developer. He urged it to drop Trump’s name from a tower being built in the city, saying the presidential hopeful’s “hateful positions” had no place in Vancouver. On Wednesday, he said it was hard to accept the tone and content of the election campaign. “The racism and sexism are a huge concern in a city like Vancouver that’s so committed to inclusion and people of all walks of life being together and living in harmony.”

Tips for getting deals for the Black Friday weekend BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
N
EW YORK — Serious deal-seekers are already planning their Thanksgiving weekend shopping, and experts believe that once again the holiday itself may offer better deals than Black Friday the day afterward. Amid the clutter of deals clamouring for attention, smart and careful shoppers can come out ahead. “Start researching and planning,” says Benjamin Glaser, features editor with DealNews.com, a deal comparison website. Here are four ways to get the most out of Black Friday weekend — and beyond. STUDY UP: Make a comprehensive list of what you plan to buy, research what those items usually sell for at full price and on sale, and figure out how much you want to spend. Also check out store flyers from previous years online, since many retailers repeat the same deals at the same price. Eighty per cent of the products and 43 per cent of the prices highlighted on the front pages of the 2015 and 2014 Black Friday flyers of Best Buy, Macy’s, Target, Kohl’s, Walmart and J.C. Penney were the same, says Market Track LLC, a price tracking firm. Make sure to note at what times different stores plan to start their Black Friday deals — both online and at the store. For example, J.C. Penney is making its deals available on its website on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving for the first time. It will open its doors on Thanksgiving at 3 p.m., the same time as last year. Kohl’s offered last Thursday a subset of the Black Friday deals that will be available for Thanksgiving, when it opens its doors at 6 p.m. For the first time, it will offer “doorbusters” online starting on Thanksgiving while supplies last. In the past, doorbusters were only at the store. LOOK AT THE WHOLE SEASON: Retailers have been starting to spread their offers out, with some starting well before Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Earlier this month, Wal-Mart and Amazon.com both kicked off holiday deals on thousands of items. Still, there’s a good chance you can get a better deal on Thanksgiving for certain items. DealNews. com says 38 per cent of the specials pushed on the holiday were what the site considered top deals, compared to only 31 per cent for Black Friday. But not every deal is the best on Thanksgiving. DealNews.com says it’s likely better to buy cameras, TVs, tablets and major appliances on Thanksgiving, and tools on Black Friday. On the Monday after Thanksgiving, known as Cyber Monday, is also a good day for shoppers to get deep discounts on clothing and laptops. Traci Gregorski, senior vice-president of marketing at Market Track, says that Monday is also a good time to buy laptops, small appliances and toys and games, based on an analysis of more than 1,400 listings across Amazon, Best Buy, Kmart, Sears, Target and Wal-Mart. “It’s to the shoppers’ benefit to do their homework to ensure they are getting the best deal,” Gregorski said. USE APPS AND REWARDS: Strategize how to leverage the store rewards points you already have or holiday bonus offers. Look for the apps that work well for you. For example, Flipp recreates the traditional print flyer experience so you don’t have to sift through all the weekly store flyers — and not just on Black Friday. DealNews Black Friday keeps track of specials throughout the holiday season too.

Cousins Stacy Levine, left, and Melissa Bragg shop at a Toys R Us store in Atlanta on Black Friday. Serious deal-seekers are already planning their Thanksgiving weekend shopping. Plenty of retailer apps offer customers special discounts. Customers who use the Staples app will have gotten a sneak peek of the Black Friday deals, which started Sunday, and will be able to see the latest specials throughout the season. THINK PAST THE HOLIDAYS: If you don’t need items by the holiday — or aren’t seeing some friends
and relatives until afterward, shoppers might do better waiting to buy toys and clothing like sweaters and coats until the end of the season. That lets them take advantage of clearance sales, says Glaser. For clothing, discounts are on average of 40 per cent over the Thanksgiving weekend, but at the end of the season, they go to 70 per cent.

Kinder Morgan president backs off climate change remarks BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
E
DMONTON — The president of the company behind the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proposal has backed off earlier remarks in which he suggested he was unsure humans are contributing to climate change. “My comments didn’t come out quite right,” Ian Anderson of Kinder Morgan told the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday. Last week, Anderson said in Vancouver that there was disagreement about the degree to which people are causing global warming and that he didn’t know enough to make his own conclusion. Anderson sounded different in Edmonton. “The discussion around climate change is a very important one and there should be no mis-
understanding of what I think and what I believe: climate change is real and fossil fuels lead to higher CO2 emissions, which in turn contribute to climate change,” he said. “That’s been our view from the beginning and it continues to be our view.” Anderson also praised a federal government announcement earlier this week that it will spend $1.5 billion over five years to improve ocean protection, including spill response, along Canada’s coastlines. “It’s an important plan to be pursued by the federal government. We support it entirely,” he said. Anderson went on to reiterate arguments in favour of his company’s $6.8-billion proposal for a pipeline expansion between Alberta and British Columbia to bring oilsands bitumen to Vancouver-area ports.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — Canada’s biggest stock market rose while Wall Street hovered around record levels Wednesday, as investors warmed to the idea that the victory of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump will be good news to business on both sides of the border. The optimistic tone helped push the resource-heavy S&P/TSX composite index higher by 103.07 points at 14,759.91, led by a strong rally in the gold, metals and materials sectors. The bounce in the stock market came as a surprise as most had been expecting a gloom and doom scenario if the brash, billionaire
clinched the White House over Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton. But at the open, the picture that emerged was one of cautious hope on Bay Street and Wall Street. “This is the best case scenario for how the markets are reacting,” said Kathryn Del Greco, a vice-president and investment adviser at TD Wealth. Del Greco attributed the positive reaction to Trump’s victory speech which reassured and calmed markets with its “softer tone.” On the TSX, the metals sector racked up the biggest gains, climbing by 4.23 per cent as the December copper contract surged eight cents to a 15-month high of
US$2.46 a pound. Investors were anticipating that there will be growing demand for the metal if Trump sets off with his large infrastructure building plans. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average climbed 256.95 points to 18,589.69, just shy of an alltime closing record. It was in sharp contrast to futures trading which saw the Dow sink by 750 points at midnight. The broader S&P 500 gained 23.70 points at 2,163.26, while the Nasdaq composite rose 57.58 points to 5,251.07. Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets Canada, said markets showed their resiliency. Most were bracing for drastic fallout post-election similar to that of the Brexit vote, when Britain unexpectedly voted to leave the European Union in June. He noted that markets continue to anticipate that the U.S. Federal Reserve still remains likely to hike interest rates in December, despite the surprise outcome of the election. If the markets stay stable, it will be another reason for the central bank to move on rates sooner rather than later. The Canadian dollar was down 0.41 of a U.S. cent to 74.75 cents US, against a strengthening U.S. greenback. Crude oil added 29 cents to US$45.27 a barrel, after trading lower for most of the day. December natural gas jumped six cents to US$2.69 per mmBTU.

Turris scored in the first round to match Sam Reinhart’s tally, and then Ryan put Ottawa ahead in the second round. Mike Condon stopped Brian Gionta on Buffalo’s final attempt and finished with 31 saves. Ryan Dzingel got a tying goal for Ottawa 7:15 into the second period. Nicholas Baptiste scored for Buffalo, and Robin Lehner made 28 saves while the Sabres lost their second in a row. BLACKHAWKS 2 BLUES 1 (OT) ST.

Crawford won his sixth consecutive game and improved to 15-5-5 against the Blues. Chicago has earned a point in nine straight games.

Don Cherry tells ‘left-wingkook’ Americans to stay home BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Americans threatening to move to Canada in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential victory are not welcome north of the border, according to outspoken hockey commentator Don Cherry. The co-star of CBC’s Coach’s Corner took to Twitter on Wednesday to discourage any leftleaning U.S. citizens upset at the prospect of a Trump presidency from seeking refuge in Canada.
In a two-part tweet, Cherry said: “The left wing kook entertainers and the left wing weirdo’s (sic) in the media in the US have said if Trump wins the presidency they will move to Canada. Please, we have enough of these type here now.” Cherry has made no secret of his right-leaning politics in the past. He spoke at the inauguration of former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford in December 2010. He wore a pink suit, saying his choice of attire was “for all the pinkos out there that ride bicycles and everything.”

Esks, Ticats make their own history HAMILTON WILL HOST EDMONTON IN THEIR FIRST-EVER CROSSOVER PLAYOFF MEETING BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
I
t will be a historic first for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Edmonton Eskimos. Hamilton hosts Edmonton on Sunday in the East Division semifinal. It will mark the first-ever crossover playoff meeting between the two clubs, set up by the Eskimos (10-8) moving into the Eastern playoffs after finishing fourth in the West but posting a better record than the thirdplace Montreal Alouettes (7-11). Hamilton finished tied with Montreal in the standings but clinched second by winning the season series. Edmonton and Hamilton have met in the Grey Cup twice. The Eskimos earned a 48-10 victory in 1980 before the Ticats captured a 39-15 decision six years later. The Eskimos make their third crossover appearance. In 2008 they became the first CFL team to win a crossover game, beating Winnipeg 29-21 in the conference semifinal before losing 42-26 to Toronto in 2012. Eight times West Division teams have crossed over to the East but none has ever reached the Grey Cup. Edmonton comes in having won five of its last six games and sports the CFL’s passing leader (Mike Reilly) and top two receivers (Adarius Bowman, Derel Walker). Reilly threw for 5,554 yards with 28 TDs and had 12 300-yard games this season. Bowman led the CFL in catches (120) and yards (1,761) while Walker was second with 109 receptions for 1,589 yards. They combined for 19 TDs and 22 plays of 30 yards or more and will put plenty of pressure on Hamilton’s defence. But the Ticats are pretty good at generating pressure themselves, having registered 50 sacks. And Hamilton was ranked third behind B.C. and Calgary for fewest offensive yards allowed (357.2 per game). However, Edmonton allowed the second-fewest sacks (31) and Reilly was the CFL’s top-rushing quarterback with 406 yards (four-yard average) with nine TDs. Hamilton must also respect an Eskimos ground game that was the league’s second-best at 103.7 yards per game. The two teams split their season series 1-1. Backup Jermiah Masoli had a CFL-record 23 straight completions in rallying Hamilton from a 25-point deficit for a 37-31 road win July 23 before John White’s 132-yard rushing performance anchored Edmonton’s 29-26 victory at Tim Hortons Field on Oct. 28. Zach Collaros starts for Hamilton but veteran slotbacks Andy Fantuz (101 catches, 1,059 yards, five TDs) and Luke Tasker (76 catches, 852 yards, five TDs) are both injured. That leaves Terrence Toliver (65 catches, 1,036 yards, nine TDs) as the Ticats’ leading active receiver. While Edmonton’s ground game is ranked second in the CFL, Hamilton’s is last (66.9 yards per game) although a C.J. Gable can be a dynamic running back. The Ticats also have a big-play threat in kick-returner Brandon Banks. Hamilton comes in having lost two straight and its last four home games to stand 3-6 overall at Tim Hortons Field. The Ticats are also 2-8 versus West Division teams. Pick — Edmonton. West Division Semifinal Winnipeg Blue Bombers versus B.C.

Stampeders rule West Division all-star squad BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
T
ORONTO — Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell was one of nine Calgary Stampeders selected to the West Division all-star squad Wednesday. Mitchell helped guided Calgary (15-2-1) to the CFL’s best regular-season record. He threw for 5,385 yards and a league-high 32 touchdown passes. CFL rushing leader Jerome Messam (1,198 yards), tackle Derek Dennis, guard Spencer Wilson, defensive linemen Micah Johnson and Charleston Hughes (CFL-high 16 sacks), cornerbacks Tommie Campbell and Ciante Evans and defensive back Jamar Wall were the other Stampeders selected for the team. Voting was conducted by the Football Reporters of Canada and the eight CFL head coaches. The B.C. Lions had eight players named to the team, including receivers Emmanuel Arceneaux (105 catches, 1,566 yards, 13 TDs) and Bryan Burnman (69 catches, 1,392 yards, three TDs). The others included tackle Jovan Olafioye, linebackers Solomon Elimimian and Adam Bighill and defensive end Alex Bazzie, punter Richie Leone and kick-returner Chris Rainey. Kicker Justin Medlock, who booted a CFL-record 60 field goals this season, topped the six Winnipeg Blue Bombers to receive an all-star nod. Joining Medlock are running back Andrew Harris, offensive lineman Travis Bond, linebacker Maurice Leggett, defensive back T.J. Heath and safety Taylor Loffler. Standout receivers Adarius Bowman and Derel Walker comprised half of Edmonton’s four all-star selections. Bowman had a team-record 120 catches for a league-best 1,759 yards and nine TDs while Walker recorded 109 receptions for 1,589 yards and 10 touchdowns. Centre Justin Sorensen and defensive tackle Almondo Sewell were the others. Quarterback Trevor Harris and receivers Chris Williams, Ernest Jackson and Greg Ellingson were among the 11 Ottawa Redblacks voted to the East Division squad. Harris was the conference passing leader with 3,301 yards while Ellingson (76 catches, 1,260 yards, four TDs), Williams (77 catches, 1,246 yards, 10 TDs) and Jackson (88 catches, 1,225 yards, 10 TDs) all cracking the 1,000-yard plateau. Tackle SirVincent Rogers, centre Jon Gott, defensive lineman Zack Evans, linebacker Damaso Munoz and defensive backs Abdul Kanneh, Mitchell White and Jonathan Rose also earned nods. Linebacker Simoni Lawrence, defensive linemen Ted Laurent and John Chick and defensive back Emanuel Davis were among the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ eight division all-stars. Also named were running back running back C.J. Gable, offensive lineman Ryan Bomben, kicker/ punter Brett Maher and receiver/returner Brandon Banks. Running back Brandon Whitaker (second in CFL rushing with 1,009 yards) and defensive lineman Shawn Lemon (14 sacks) were two of the Toronto Argonauts’ five selections. Offensive linemen Tyler Holmes and Chris Van Zeyl and kicker Lirim Hajrullahu were the others named. Linebacker Bear Woods, who finished second in the CFL with 126 tackles, headlined Montreal’s three all-star selections. Also named was veteran slotback Nik Lewis (a five-time West Division all-star) and safety Marc-Olivier Brouillette.

NHL
Too small for the NHL? Marner gets last laugh BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
T
ORONTO — Veteran Matt Martin ambles by scrawny 19-year-old Mitch Marner in the Maple Leafs dressing room and playfully shoves him aside. Marner pokes his nose into Tyler Bozak’s business a little while later and is told cheerfully to scram. “Beat it there bud,” Bozak, almost 11 years Marner’s senior, says with a big grin.
‘I THINK, REALLY, NO ONE UNDERSTOOD HOW MUCH I DODGE CHECKS TO TRY AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THEM.’ — LEAFS’ MITCH MARNER
With his diminutive 170-pound frame, Marner might look like the little brother on the Leafs, but that hasn’t stopped him from making a big early impression in the NHL. Darting around the ice like a pinball, Marner has already rung up four goals and 10 points in 13 games for his hometown team. He’s quickly erased antiquated doubts that size (or lack thereof) might stunt his NHL ascent. Even before he was plucked with the fourth overall pick at the 2015 draft, Marner was peppered with those questions. He thinks that while most in the hockey world paid attention to junior hockey and probably saw his awesome Ontario Hockey League numbers (including 126 points in 2014-15), they weren’t really watching to see how those numbers were compiled, how he managed to succeed against bigger, stronger opponents. “I think, really, no one understood how much I dodge checks to try and get out of the way of them,” Marner said. Out of his equipment, Marner looks a lot smaller than the official listing — six feet and 170 pounds — and lacks the chiseled physique of many NHLers. He hasn’t gotten much bigger over

time either three years ago, when he first checked into the OHL, Marner was listed at 160 pounds. Size was no barrier over three wicked seasons with the London Knights though, and thus far with the Leafs, it looks to be a dead issue once more. “It’s never been a big deal to me,” said Marner, one of only 11 NHL players currently listed at 170 pounds or less. “I’ve grown up with everyone always saying he’s too small and stuff like that.” Marner’s comparatively tiny frame is actually an advantage in the eyes of his two current linemates in Toronto. Because he’s low to the ice, and also quick, skilled and shifty, he’s difficult to check. Ask a bigger defenceman, Bozak said, and he would certainly rather face a larger forward without Marner’s slippery approach. “He’s not trying to outmuscle guys, he’s trying to outsmart guys and use his quickness and speed to get around guys.” “He knows how to manipulate the defencemen — their feet — so they can’t ever really get a good read on him,” James van Riemsdyk added. “I’d say if you look at all the players that you would call strong on the puck, a lot of them tend to be not necessarily the biggest guys — the guys like the Johnny Gaudreau, (Patrick) Kane. They move so well and they’re so hard to get the puck from because they move so well and they know how to use the ice to their advantage and find space.” Because Marner has good balance and a low centre of gravity he’s able to shift directions in a hurry, which means he can easily escape situations where brawn might otherwise be required. In other words, there’s no need to fight for pucks in the corner or along the walls if you’re never in that position to begin with. “You can be as strong as you want, but if someone has body positioning on you it makes it really hard to do anything about it,” van Riemsdyk said. Watch Marner and he’s usually

Toronto Maple Leafs center Mitch Marner (16) skates during the first period of a preseason NHL hockey game against the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo, N.Y. Marner is making the most of his chances early this season. darting from one spot to another, feverishly pursuing the puck or slipping around defenders to get open. Bozak said he has a knack for finding space that way, too slippery for opponents to stick with for more than a few seconds. Watch Marner lose the puck, meanwhile, and he’ll doggedly work to get it back. His competitiveness has impressed Leafs coach Mike Babcock. Hockey culture still looks down on the littler player to some degree — think Tyler Johnson’s omission from Team USA at the World Cup of Hockey — but players like Kane, Gaudreau, Johnson, Martin St. Louis and Dan-
iel Briere have thrived despite their lacking stature. Much of the evolution is owed to rule changes after the 2004-05 lockout, which halted the clutching, grabbing, hooking and holding that might otherwise have impeded their progress. Though the NHL is obviously new terrain, Marner has been combating comparatively humongous opponents his whole hockey life. He’s learned to weaponize his elusiveness, zipping across the ice to avoid checks while hurdling past those who question his slight frame. “It’s taken me this far,” he said, “so it’s worked pretty good.”

night. DeRozan, the NBA’s leading scorer, made 13 of 22 field goals and 11 of 15 free throws. Kyle Lowry added 19 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds and Patrick Patterson had 13 points for the Raptors. Toronto, which shot 51.8 percent from the field, has won four of five. The Thunder entered the night with the NBA’s best record, but they couldn’t get their offense going. Russell Westbrook led the way with 36 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, but made just 9 of 26 shots and committed eight turnovers. Victor Oladipo scored 18 points, and Steven Adams had 14 points and 12 rebounds for Oklahoma City. PACERS 122, 76ERS 115, OT INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Paul George scored seven of Indiana’s 13 points in overtime and the Pacers beat winless Philadelphia. George finished with 28 points and eight rebounds.

Toronto FC coach recalls humiliating playoff loss REMINDED EVERY TIME HIS SIDE PLAYED MONTREAL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Toronto FC Jozy Altidore (17) celebrates his goal with Armando Cooper (31), top, during a MLS second leg eastern semifinals soccer match against New York City FC in New York.
oronto FC coach Greg Vanney played down his team’s painful playoff loss in Montreal every time the two teams crossed paths this season. But as the rivals prepare to clash again in the post-season, Vanney admitted the humiliating 3-0 loss at Saputo Stadium in Toronto’s playoff debut has not been forgotten ahead of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final Nov. 22. “Absolutely. I think you’re not a competitive person if that doesn’t bother you,” he said after training Wednesday. “For sure it bothered me.” Vanney said his point was that a pre-season or mid-season game with the Impact wouldn’t even the score. “The only way we feel better at all is to do something in the playoffs, which is what the opportunity is that’s ahead of us. I don’t think last year will be forgotten by this group as we go into this tie.” Vanney said while both teams are in a different place from last year’s playoffs, “at the same time we haven’t forgotten.” “In the back of their minds, I am certain they recall walking off the field that night and how that felt,” he added. For a franchise that waited nine years to get into the playoffs, the 2015 playoff visit to Montreal was like stepping into a sinkhole. On a chilly late October night, Toronto gave up three goals in 21 minutes and trailed 3-0 af-
ter 39 minutes. “It left a really big sour taste in everybody’s mouth,” said Toronto midfielder Jonathan Osorio. “Nobody liked it, nobody anticipated it. “At the same time, when we look back, they deserved (to win) that match, we deserved to lose in that way and I think we’ve learned from that.” Montreal’s playoff run also ended badly, beaten one round later by Columbus 4-3 on aggregate after extra time. Only five members of the Toronto team that started last year’s playoff game in Montreal are members of the current starting 11. Goalkeeper Chris Konopka, centre back Ahmed Kantari, Brazilian fullback Jackson and midfielder Robbie Findley have moved on while defender Josh Williams and midfielder Benoit Cheyrou are backups. Seven members of the Impact team that beat the New York Red Bulls last Sunday started against Toronto in the 2015 post-season win with two others, including Didier Drogba, on the bench. The teams split their two league meetings this season. Toronto defeated the Impact 2-0 in Montreal on April 23 and lost 1-0 at BMO Field on Aug. 27. Toronto won the Amway Canadian Championship semifinal series between the two, winning 4-2 at BMO Field and tying 0-0 at Saputo Stadium. The two-legged MLS playoff aggregate series will open on artificial turf at Olympic Stadium before returning to BMO Field on Nov. 30.

ONTREAL — He’s already lived the experience once and Dominic Oduro wants to see Olympic Stadium filled with screaming fans again. The Montreal Impact sold more than 30,000 tickets over the first two days after reaching the MLS Eastern Conference final, where they will face Toronto FC on Nov. 22 in the first leg of the two-game, aggregate-goal showdown between the Canadian rivals. The club is gunning for a sellout crowd of 60,000-plus in the domed stadium. Oduro played in front of 61,004 in the same building on April 29, 2015, when the Impact lost 4-2 to Mexico’s
Club America in the CONCACAF Champions League final. He wants to feed off that energy one more time. “We need 60,” Oduro said Wednesday. “The fans should come out. “I mean, we’re playing against Toronto. It can’t get any better. It would be like playing Club America in the Champions League but this time, it’s going to be a very good game. I’m not trying to put words out there, but I think we have a very good team and our chances of beating Toronto are very high.” The Impact are still riding high from their upset of the first-place New York Red Bulls in the conference semifinals. Montreal won the first leg 1-0 outdoors at Saputo Stadium and then topped the Red Bulls 2-1 in the return leg last Sunday on a pair of goals from midfielder Ignacio Piatti.

Sabres’ star centre almost healed BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
B
UFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Sabres forward Evander Kane is set to return on Wednesday, and star center Jack Eichel might not be too far behind. Coach Dan Bylsma announced that Kane will play against Ottawa in his first game since missing 11 with broken ribs. As for Eichel, Bylsma said he was meeting with a doctor to have his sprained left ankle evaluated and could soon be cleared for onice workouts.
Thursday, November 10, 2016
“I don’t want to suggest that it’s going to be today or tomorrow or the next day that he’s getting on the ice, but he’s progressing quite nicely,” Bylsma said of Eichel, one of the NHL’s top rookies last season. That’s encouraging news for a banged-up team that lost Kane and Eichel to injuries a day apart a month ago. Eichel was hurt during practice on Oct. 12, a day before Buffalo’s season opener against Montreal. Kane was hurt in a 4-1 loss to the Canadiens, when he lost his balance and crashed into the end boards. “It’s not feeling pretty good, but it’s well enough where I can contribute,” Kane said, assessing his ribs.
Central Alberta cowboys hit jackpot on first night of CFR Central Alberta cowboys hit the jackpot during the first performance of the 43rd Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton. Rocky Mountain House cowboy Jim Berry survived the eliminator pen of saddle broncs, taking first place for an 84 point ride on a horse called Rock Star. “It was the horse I didn’t really want in that pen,” admitted the veteran competitor, at his 8th CFR. “That horse had me in a lot of trouble there in the middle, and I was lucky it worked Dianne out that way.” just had to stick to the basics — the basics Finstad will“Iget you through most everything.” Berry takes home $12,324 for the victory, along with a go-round buckle. That helps negate the pain of a nagging knee injury causing Berry a little grief. “I feel really good. Anytime you can get a cheque it’s a good thing, especially the first night.”
‘THAT HORSE HAD ME IN A LOT OF TROUBLE THERE IN THE MIDDLE, AND I WAS LUCKY IT WORKED OUT THAT WAY. I JUST HAD TO STICK TO THE BASICS — THE BASICS WILL GET YOU THROUGH MOST EVERYTHING.’ — ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE COWBOY JIM BERRY
In a tight race to the Canadian saddle bronc championship, the win gives Berry the overall lead now with $39,482, bumping back season leader Dustin Flundra to second place. Defending Canadian bareback champion Jake Vold, who grew up in Ponoka, continued his winning ways at Northlands Coliseum. He took home first place Wednesday night, after marking 84.25 on Garden Party. Despite confessing to feeling nervous all day, Vold took full advantage of the horse he’d won on before, at a rodeo in Teepee Creek. Vold moved up to second in the Canadian standings, with the $12,324 boost. But season leader Caleb Bennett of Utah tied for second on the night and holds on to first overall. Ponoka’s Levi Simpson and his partner Jeremy Buhler of Arrowwood were lightning fast in the team roping, wrapping up their job in 4.5 seconds, to collect the first place payday of $6356 each. “That felt outstanding,” stated Simpson. “You always come here with a game plan to start out strong. To be able to make a good run on the first one, and have a good start in this field of ropers today is pretty cool.” “The steer got a good start out there in front of me, but I was able to get him roped pretty good and let Jeremy do what he does so we could finish the run.” Simpson and Buhler came into Edmonton in fifth place, but with the Wednesday win, they’re already closing in on season leaders Klay White and Brett Buss, who’s also from Ponoka. Al Bouchard tied up his share of cash in 7.7 seconds to be fast man of the tie-down roping, and that moved the Scandia cowboy at his 16th CFR to first overall in the standings. Tanner Milan of Cochrane started his week with a victory in the steer wrestling with a 3.6 second run, and the $12,324 moved him closer to season frontrunner Cody Cassidy of Donalda, who managed to split third place in the round, for $3371. Ponoka’s Brock Butterfield finished second, with a 3.8 second run, and he collected $9164. Callahan Crossley of Oregon took first in barrel racing with a 14.645 second run, and she’s now the overall leader. Lonnie West of Cadogan topped the bull riding with an 87.5 on Bombshell. But season leader Dakota Buttar of Saskatchewan was just a half point behind, so took second place cash, and he hangs on the championship lead. The Canadian Finals Rodeo continues tonight at 7:30 at Northlands Coliseum.

U.S. ELECTION REACTION
PM puts best face on Trump win BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
O
TTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is choosing to highlight the one goal he has in common with Donald Trump — improving the lot of the embattled middle class — as his government comes to grips with the unexpected prospect of a U.S. president who shares few of the Liberals’ values or policies. “We share a purpose, our two countries, where we want to build places where the middle class and those working hard to join it have a chance,” Trudeau told a WE Day rally Wednesday, just hours after Trump emerged victorious from the brutish American presidential election campaign. The very mention of Tuesday’s election south of the border drew boos from the youthful crowd but Trudeau tried gamely to put the best face on Trump’s win, suggesting it was propelled by the same forces that catapulted him into the Prime Minister’s Office a year ago. “The fact is, we’ve heard clearly from Canadians and from Americans that people want a shared shot at success,” he said. “People want to succeed. People want to know that themselves, that their families, that their kids, that their grandkids will be able to succeed and we need to work together to get that.” But the two men’s prescriptions for what ails the middle class — and their manner of appealing for its votes — couldn’t be more different. And that portends a potentially prickly and tense relationship between them for at least the next four years.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (right) along with WE co-founders, Craig (middle) and Marc Kielburger, inspires 16,000 students and educators at WE Day Ottawa at the Canadian Tire Centre, Wednesday. Trump overcame concerns about his unstable temperament and misogynistic conduct by exploiting working-class white Americans’ fear of immigrants and terrorism and their anger at the so-called establishment elites they believe are reaping the benefits of free trade and globalization at their expense. He promised to deport millions of
illegal immigrants, to block Muslims from entering the country, to tear up the North American Free Trade Agreement and to withdraw the United States from the international climate change agreement to reduce carbon emissions. Trudeau is in many ways the anti-Trump, a self-described feminist who won power with his “sunny ways,”
touting the virtues of hope over fear, diversity, free trade and increased acceptance of immigrants and refugees. Once elected, he personally greeted the first of 30,000 Syrian refugees to arrive in Canada. More recently, he announced his government’s plan to impose a national price on carbon in provinces that refuse to impose their own.
Trump victory throws Canada’s foreign policy into question BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
O
TTAWA — Donald Trump’s stunning presidential election victory could overturn long-held assumptions and positions about Canada’s place in the world — from free trade and defence to the rules-based international order that the country has championed since the Second World War. The Liberal government was among those scrambling Wednesday to get a handle on the ramifications of a U.S. president-elect who has repeatedly attacked Canada’s trade and foreign policy foundations, including the North American Free Trade Agreement and NATO. Trump has also threatened a trade war with China and stronger action against North Korea and Iran, suggested a softer approach with
Russia and voiced support for the use of torture. On Wednesday, however, with the bile of the campaign finally receding, both Trump himself and Canada were trying to strike a more conciliatory tone. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to work with the new president-elect, while diplomatic officials signalled a willingness to sit down and talk about NAFTA. If Trump wants to sit down and “improve” NAFTA, “then we’re ready to come to the table,” Canadian ambassador David MacNaughton told a conference call Wednesday. One such improvement, MacNaughton hinted: free trade on softwood lumber, a long-standing irritant between the two countries. Trump’s own victory speech early Wednesday offered some hope that he wouldn’t govern with the same belligerence that marked his
campaign. The U.S. would “always put America’s interests first, (but) we will deal fairly with everyone, all people and all other nations,” he said. “We will seek common ground, not hostility partnership, not conflict.” MacNaughton said he has already opened channels to Trump’s team by sitting down with a number of the president-elect’s advisers in the lead-up to the election, including Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions. At the end of the day, of course, nothing is certain where Trump is concerned — an unknown quantity that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s former foreign policy adviser touched on in a tweet Wednesday morning. “Uncertainty about Trump’s trade and security policies will be a source of instability,” Roland Paris wrote, adding: “But clarification of those policies may be even worse.”
Officials said they planned to work overtime to demonstrate to Trump, his team and Congress the importance of free trade to North American economic prosperity. They would also enlist the help of companies and state governors to help convey that message. Others weren’t so optimistic. Fen Hampson, the head of the global security program at the Centre for International Governance Innovation in Waterloo, Ont., said Canada should now focus its trade efforts on Europe and Asia. “It’s time to double down on our own bilateral trade agreements not only with the European Union but with new markets in Asia,” Hampson said. “That will give us leverage with Washington. The more we can diversify, the more leverage we will have.”

Politicians move to united fractured nation BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
W
ASHINGTON — After a stormy political season, a ray of civic sunshine peered through the American skies Wednesday. Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama vowed to work together for the betterment of a divided country following an uncommonly bitter campaign to be remembered for, among other things, “Lock her up!” chants at rallies about arresting one of the candidates. The co-operative language came from a current president who had torn oratorical strips off a president-elect who had previously insinuated Obama wasn’t really an American. Obama met with reporters outside the White House and joked that the sun had, in fact, risen after such a dreary result for his party. “It is no secret that the president-elect and I have some pretty significant differences,” Obama said. “But remember, eight years ago President Bush and I had some pretty significant differences. President Bush’s team could not have been more professional or more gracious in making sure we had a smooth transition so that we could hit the ground running. “One thing you realize quickly in this job is that the presidency and the vice-presidency is bigger than any of us. So I have instructed my team to follow the example that president Bush’s team set eight years ago, and work as hard as we can to make sure that this is a successful transition for the president-elect.” Obama meets with his unlikely

that it saw his insistence on renegotiating NAFTA as a chance to improve the deal. Canada’s ambassador to Washington, David MacNaughton, suggested it could be improved, for instance, with a chapter on softwood lumber to solve a perennial bilateral irritant. For her part, Clinton also bowed out graciously — if a day late, after avoiding making a concession speech on election night. She admitted she felt pain and would probably feel it for some time. But she added that she’d called Trump and offered to work with him. “I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans,” Clinton told a group including her family and staffers, who shared tears and hugs. “Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power and we don’t just respect that, we cherish it.” She urged the group to keep fighting for causes they care about. Trump, for his part, also extended the rhetorical peace pipe to an opponent he’d repeatedly referred to as “Crooked Hillary” and threatened to jail. “Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country,” he told his Manhattan victory rally the previous night. “I mean that very sincerely.

Seven killed in London early morning tram derailment LONDON — Seven people were killed and more than 50 injured when a tram derailed while rounding a tight curve in a rainstorm in south London Wednesday, police said. Investigators said the train, which tipped over on its side, apparently was going faster than permitted. British Transport Police initially said five people had died, with several others seriously injured. The force later raised the death toll to seven. Police arrested the 42-year-old tram driver on suspicion of manslaughter. Emergency workers laboured for hours to free five people trapped in the wreckage of the two-carriage tram tipped over next to an underpass in the Croydon area. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch said the tram derailed as it was negotiating a sharp curve with a speed limit of 20 km/h. “Initial indications suggest that the tram was travelling at a significantly higher speed than is permitted,” it said in a statement.

Coalition strike kills 20 in IS-held area in Syria BEIRUT — Syrian activists are blaming the U.S.-led coalition for an early morning airstrike on Wednesday that killed at least 20 civilians in a part of Syria held by the Islamic State group. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 20 people were killed and around 30 wounded in the strike on the village of Heisha. The village is north of the extremist group’s de facto capital, Raqqa. Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, a local media collective, said 23 civilians were killed. U.S. Col. John Dorrian, a spokesman for the U.S.led forces, said the coalition had conducted strikes in the area.

EW YORK — Of all the celebrity chefs out there, there’s one you’d least expect to sing the praises of spinach, kale and Brussels sprouts. That would be Guy Fieri. The spiky-haired champion of American comfort food is more associated with greasy chili dogs than salad, the fryer over the fig. But are you sure you know all the sides of this guy? “I’m a big greens fan. I’m a big vegetable fan. I’m a big whole grains fan. And I exercise a lot. That’s how I keep this petit dancer’s figure,” he said, laughing. “A lot of people misinterpret what I do.” Fieri has built a food career on a certain amount of flash — a rock star image complete with tattoos and jewelry, a fleet of yellow muscle cars and high-octane dishes including Bacon Mac ‘n’ Cheese Burgers. But he’s also raised a family in the same Northern
California house for the past 20 years, eats a burger maybe once a month, considers culinary innovator Jose Andres a hero, and says things like “I cannot get enough farro.” Both sides are on display in his new cookbook, Guy Fieri Family Food (William Morrow), with recipes that range from Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza to Quick Cracked Bulgur Wheat Salad. It’s what his family eats, with tips on how to stretch leftovers into several meals. “It kind of moves all over the board,” said Fieri, who started with 200 recipes and whittled them down to 125. “It was a full-blown family project with everyone involved and picking what they liked and didn’t like.” Fieri broke into the mainstream after winning The Next Food Network Star. He went on to put his name on more than 30 restaurants across America and Mexico. His best-known Food Network show is Diners, DriveIns and Dives.

Hunt to table with venison recipe BY TAMAR HASPEL ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
KEFTA KEBABS 4 to 6 servings erbs and spices play well together in this recipe, inspired by variations of spiced-ground-meaton-a-stick in the Mediterranean and North Africa. It is important that you use finely ground venison and that you knead the mixture well so the kebabs will stay on your skewers; a manual meat grinder or grinder attachment for your mixer is good to use. An instant-read thermometer is not necessary here, but we’ve provided the correct internal temperature in case you wish to use one. These kebabs work best with flat metal skewers, but in a pinch, you can spear the ground meat with two parallel bamboo skewers instead. If using the latter, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. Serve with roasted or grilled vegetables, crusty bread or rice and tzatziki. MAKE AHEAD: The spiced venison mixture needs to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to one day in advance. Adapted from Buck, Buck, Moose: Recipes and Techniques for Cooking Deer, Elk, Moose, Antelope and Other Antlered Things, by Hank Shaw (H&H Books, 2016).

Jamie Oliver encourages making good food choices in new show, cookbook TORONTO — Food that is healthy, energizing, filling and delicious — not trendy — is what families should be cooking every day, says Jamie Oliver. The British celebrity chef, who is on a crusade to curb childhood obesity, is out with a new TV series and cookbook that encourages making good food choices. “It’s weird, you kind of write books to answer the atmosphere at the moment and definitely, without doubt, a lot of my audience, including the Canadian audience, are kind of like, ‘Look, we just want to know what ‘good’ looks like. How do we make those things taste good? We’re not sure if they do taste good,’ ” Oliver said during a recent interview in Toronto.
2 teaspoons dried mint 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander Steps Combine the venison, onion, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, if using, dried mint, cayenne pepper (to taste). cumin, salt, black pepper and coriander in a mixing bowl, using your clean hands to thoroughly incorporate. If you can, run the mixture through a meat grinder. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (and up to one day). Prepare a grill for direct heat. If using a gas grill, preheat to medium-high (450 degrees). If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal or wood briquettes; when the briquettes are ready, distribute them under the cooking area for direct heat. For a medium-hot fire, you should be able to hold your hand about six inches above the coals for about four or five seconds. Have ready a spray water bottle for taming any flames. Lightly coat the grill rack with oil and place it on the grill. Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Form the meat on the skewers in 2-to-3-inch oblong lengths (about 1 1/2 inches wide) so the portions just touch each other on the skewers. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes, turning them as needed, so there’s some even charring all over; the interior of the meat should register 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Serve warm.

Back in the U.K., he turns what he’s learned into his own meals and shares tips to ease the plight of busy home cooks. “If you went to our fridge or freezer today it’s going to be riddled with that stuff, the little cheats about batch cooking and freezing, using the freezer as your best friend, because people are so busy,” Oliver said. In the companion cookbook, published by HarperCollins, breakfast items like chocolate porridge, doughnuts and “pineapple pancake mess” come in at under 400 calories, while pastas, tray bakes, curries and stews max out at 600 calories per serving. He also provides advice on food and nutrition, including his super-food philosophy on how to balance your plate and keep portions in check.

Brighten up the winter doldrums by forcing bulbs into bloom
W
ant a bit of colour in the h o u s e this winter? Then plant spring bulbs in containers, simulate winter conditions and force the bulbs into bloom. It is easy, inexpensive way to brighten the long Linda All one needs Tomlinson winter. are containers with drainage, soil spring bulbs and a dark cool place to place the containers for six to eight weeks. When purchasing or selecting bulbs for forcing choose large, firm ones that are free of cuts and mould. The larger the bulb is for its variety, the easier it will be to force. Small bulbs will produce smaller blooms. Bulbs that are damaged are susceptible to disease which will then spread to other bulbs in the same pot. Choose early blooming hyacinths,
daffodils, tulips or crocuses to force as they bloom quicker than bulbs that bloom later in the season. Planting one variety of bulb per container produces a mass of color at one time. Mixing the varieties in a pot can result in either a long blooming container or a bare one. Spring bulbs can be forced in a pot of soil or a special forcing jar. When using a pot insure that it has good drainage holes that will allow excess moisture to escape. Start by placing a thin layer of moist soil on the bottom of the pot then set the bulbs in pointy side up. Next, cover with more moist soil. For a fuller display add another layer of bulbs by positioning them between the tops of the first layer then cover with more moist soil. All bulbs should be partially covered with soil. A forcing jar has a bowl shaped top that holds the bulb out of water while letting the roots reach the water to obtain moister as needed. The size of
bowl dictates the type of bulb it will hold; hyacinths and daffodils. Fill the forcing jar up with water until it is within an inch (2.5 cm) of the bottom of bowl. The bulb is then placed in the bulb holder, pointy side up. If the forcing jar is clear it is possible to watch the bulbs roots develop. Once planted bulbs need to be placed in a cool, dark area. Ideally the temperature should be between 35 – 48 F (1-9 C) Placing containers inside a box or paper bag will insure that the bulbs remain in the dark regardless on lights and windows. Cold rooms and refrigerators work well as long as they do not contain fruit such as apples that give off ethylene gas as they ripen. Ethylene gas inhibits the bulb’s bloom. Check on the bulb containers every few weeks watering as needed. It is important to keep the soil moist but not saturated. If the soil becomes too
dry the flower buds die. A saturated soil will cause the bulbs to rot. Once the bulbs have a one inch (2.5 cm) sprout they should be taken out of cold storage and placed in an area that is bright but cool. When the foliage turns from yellow to green the pot can be moved to a warmer location into full sun. Placing the plants into a cooler area when they are in bloom will insure that the bloom lasts longer. It usually takes a minimum of 12 weeks for the bulbs to be ready to be moved into a warmer area. Spring bulbs are easy to force into bloom at a time of year when the outside world is white and grey. If one has the time and correct environment it is definitely worth the effort. It is an easy activity to do with children. Linda Tomlinson is a horticulturalist that lives near Rocky Mountain House. She can be reached at your_garden@hotmail.com
Get Lost
The joy of not knowing where you are
G
etting lost in the woods can be thrilling or scary. But I wouldn’t use that word to describe how I felt the last time (so far only) I didn’t know where I was in West Country. I had spent the night before scouting hikes in my favourite area, the David Thompson Highway area, west of
Nordegg. Knowing I had to get to the trail head early, I was maybe a little too eager to determine what the trailhead was supposed to be. That, or I was too eager to get hiking as the thrill of being in the mountains again had energized me. I parked my car where I thought

the trailhead was and started the long walk up a creek bed with my dog frolicking on the discovery of where we were. I set my car as a waypoint on my GPS in the event I had absolutely no idea where I was. As I made my way Murray further and further my car the highCrawford from way noise faded. I felt absorbed into wilderness, which is always the goal. No noises, no distractions, no music, just my thoughts and my dog. After crossing the creek a few times, and narrowly avoiding getting wet more than I’d care to count, the creek narrowed. Panic set in as I slowly discovered I didn’t know where I was. I knew where my car was, I knew I was beyond the Cline River bridge, but I didn’t know where I had walked to. Determined to get my mountain hike in, I started up the south slope of the creek. Due to its protection from the sun it was mossy, so each step was more of a chore as my foot sank in. By lunch time I had cleared the tree line, only to find that I was definitely not near a hiking trail. After a rest and lunch I set about scaling the next steep ridge ahead of me, determined to get my mountain

I looked to my east and saw a trail leading back down the ridge. That’s where I headed, knowing I could it back out to Hwy. 11 and walk the two kilometres to my car. I got back in my car, and headed towards Red Deer. I called my wife to let her know I was alive. Though I was never truly lost, for a time that day I panicked not knowing where I was. And while I didn’t know where I was, I revelled in the lostness of my situation. For me, going on a hike, going to the mountains, getting outside is all about getting lost. Losing the connection with the busy world. It can seem so far away when you’re standing on top of a mountain, floating in the middle of a lake on a canoe or just sitting at the side of the river as it rushes by. On days I’m in the mountains it’s me, my dog and a whole lot of nothing. And there’s something peaceful about that. Murray Crawford is an Advocate reporter/editor.

Science Matters
Extinction crisis TIME TO CHANGE COURSE
C
lean air, water and soil to grow food are necessities of life. So are diverse plant and animal populations. But as the human population continues to increase, animal numbers are falling. There’s a strong David correlation. A compreSuzuki hensive report from the World Wildlife Federation and the Zoological Society of London found that wild animal populations dropped by 58 per cent between 1970 and 2012, and will likely reach a 67 per cent drop by 2020 if nothing is done to prevent the decline. The report points to human activity as the main cause. Habitat degradation and destruction, hunting and over fishing, the illegal wildlife trade, invasive species, disease, pollution and climate change are causing an extinction crisis unlike any since dinosaurs disappeared 65 million years ago. Animals worldwide are affected, from African elephants to European dolphins to Asian vultures to amphibians everywhere. Humans will feel the impacts, the study notes: “Living systems keep the air breathable and water drinkable, and provide nutritious food. To continue to perform these vital services they need to retain their complexity, diversity and resilience.” Although the study, Living Planet Report 2016: Risk and resilience in a new era, paints a bleak picture, it offers hope, many solutions and examples of successful transitions. In the introduction, WWF International director general Marco Lambertini writes, “We are entering a new era in Earth’s history: the Anthropocene. An era in which humans rather than natural forces are the primary drivers of planetary change. But we can also redefine our relationship with our planet, from a wasteful, unsustainable and predatory one, to one where people and nature can coexist in harmony.” For the study, researchers measured “biodiversity abundance levels based on 14,152 monitored populations of 3,706 vertebrate species.” The report points out that, beyond the crisis’ immediate and direct causes, our mindsets and systems are at the root of the problem. The outdated notions of gross domestic product and unlimited growth on a finite planet, short-term political and business thinking, externalization of social and ecological costs, rampant consumerism, and a failure to understand the connections between actions and consequences and between living systems have put us on an unsustainable
course, pushing planetary processes beyond safe boundaries. To address this, we must find ways to live sustainably, especially regarding energy and food. Rapid renewable energy development and shifting from fossil fuels to clean sources are crucial. So are consuming less animal protein — especially in high-income countries — and reducing waste along the food chain. “Furthermore, optimizing agricultural productivity within ecosystem boundaries, replacing chemical and fossil inputs by mimicking natural processes, and stimulating beneficial interactions between different agricultural systems, are key to strengthening the resilience of landscapes, natural systems and biodiversity — and the livelihoods of those who depend on them.” To a large extent, conserving energy and consuming less of everything will determine whether we succeed or not. And while over consumption, especially among the world’s most well-off, is a key factor in the breakdown of natural systems, overpopulation can’t be ignored. The best ways to address the population problem are to improve women’s rights and provide greater access to birth control and education. Slowing or stopping species extinctions and other human-caused crises are monumental challenges. But we’ve risen to meet major challenges before. Humanity has progressed in many ways, changing outdated practices and economic systems when they no longer suited our purposes or when they were found to be destructive — from the abolition of slavery in ostensibly democratic countries like the U.S. to expanded rights for women and minorities in many nations. International agencies and agreements have made the world smaller, with greater opportunities for co-operation. Better education, especially in areas like critical thinking and Indigenous knowledge, will help us progress even further. The challenges may be huge, but a better world is possible. The alternative is to watch as animals and plants go extinct, water becomes scarce, weather hits more extremes, conflicts over land and resources increase, and life becomes more difficult for people everywhere. As we’ve seen numerous times, once we start to tackle the challenges, we’ll see many benefits emerge, from greater equity to better health and more balanced ways of living within planetary limits. Then we can all enjoy the many gifts Earth provides. David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.

Astronaut casts vote from International Space Station BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
C
APE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The lone American off the planet has cast his vote from space, keeping with NASA’s motto of “Vote while you float.” NASA said Monday that astronaut Shane Kimbrough filed his ballot in Tuesday’s presidential election from the International Space Station sometime over the past few days. He arrived at the orbiting lab in mid-October. Before launching on a four-month mission, Kimbrough said it was going to be special, being able to say “I voted from space.” By the time he’s back on Earth in February, America will have a new commander in chief. Astronauts are
“pretty much apolitical,” he told reporters last month. “And I’ll be glad to welcome the new president, whoever that is.” The previous U.S. space station resident, Kate Rubins, also cast an absentee ballot from up there, before returning to Earth a week ago, according to NASA. A 1997 Texas law allows U.S. astronauts to vote from space. For NASA astronauts, home is Houston when they’re not circling the globe. A secure electronic ballot is forwarded to the astronauts by Mission Control in Houston and returned by email to the county clerk. Kimbrough is sharing the space station with two Russians. The crew will double in size at the end of next week, adding another American, a Russian and a Frenchman.

Energy
Innovations changing hydrocarbon use
H
ydrocarbon is the energy source that has driven our society to its technical prowess over the past hundred years. It has become a base stock for nearly every product contemporary has come to Lorne Oja society accept as a necessary component of life. It has warmed families, financed businesses, and propelled agriculture to provide food for all. One of the by-products of the hydrocarbon combustion, CO2, has of late become a concern, ergo the control of its atmospheric concentration. The underlying problem of this issue is the world’s population. As of Nov. 3, it was at 7,460,958,096. That’s 7.46 billion people who require food, clothing, and shelter. These needs require enormous amounts of energy for ag-
riculture, home heating/cooling, and manufacture of the ensuing components for housing and clothing. To say hydrocarbon should be left in the ground is irresponsible. That very act essentially sentences some sectors of the population to death by starvation or hypothermia, as society is not technically ready for a total transition, yet. Obviously, hydrocarbon generates income, income provides for food, clothing, and shelter, but it also provides for research and innovation. Innovation is gathering momentum largely due to the funds provided by businesses and governments. This cash provides the grants and endowments that allow science to search for solutions to these major issues. As a result, there is a current line of thought that “carbon management” is more likely to produce the results deemed necessary by the Paris Accord, than simple abandonment of oil. That is not to say we stop looking for
alternatives, but if we could utilize the atmospheric carbon, to reuse or recycle it, the Accords GHG emission goals would be realized sooner. Back to the energy requirements of the world; ethanol, a familiar component in particular beverages, a constituent of some gasolines, as well as a feed stock for petrochemicals, is one focus for CO2 mitigation, currently under scrutiny. Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have inadvertently found a method of producing ethanol directly from carbon dioxide. With a catalyst made of “copper nanoparticles embedded in spikes of carbon” and a feedstock of CO2 “suspended in water” they applied a low electrical current, at room temperature. To their surprise it resulted in the production of ethanol at conversion rate of some 63%. Dr. Adam Rondinone, of ORNL, noted that this unanticipated find eliminates some of the complicated techniques currently
being researched for using carbon dioxide to produce fuel. Implications are enormous; the process is “cheap, efficient, and scalable as it runs at room temperature.” This discovery bodes well for the future. As a fuel, it would recycle atmospheric carbon emitted by vehicles, Energy storage by wind or solar farms could be provided by ethanol, produced during periods of low energy demand, to power fuel cells during periods of low solar or wind input. If government would aid its citizens, by promoting and utilizing technology, instead of taxing them into poverty, it might instill hope into our children’s future.

Study links human actions to specific Arctic sea ice melt BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
W
ASHINGTON — Driving a gas-powered car about 90 miles — the distance between New York and Philadelphia — melts about a square foot of Arctic sea ice in the critical month of September, according to a new study that directly links carbon pollution to the amount of ice
that’s thawing. At current carbon emission levels, the Arctic will likely be free of sea ice in September around mid-century, which could make weather even more extreme and strand some polar animals, a study published Thursday in the journal Science finds. The study calculates that for every ton of carbon dioxide put in the air, there’s 29 square feet less of sea ice (for every metric ton, there’s three square meters less) during the crucial month

when the Arctic region is least frozen. Using observations, statistics and 30 different computer models, the study authors show heat-trapping gases cause warming and the melting of sea ice in a way that can be translated into a simple mathematical formula. There’s “a very clear linear relationship” between carbon dioxide emissions and sea ice retreat in September, especially at the southern boundary edges, said study lead author Dirk Notz, a climate scientist at Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany. “It’s very simple. Those emissions from our tailpipes and our coal-fired power plants are all going into the atmosphere,” said study co-author Julienne Stroeve, a climate scientist at
both the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, and University College, London. “It just increases the warming at the surface. So the ice is going to respond to that. The only way it can do that is to move further north.” Rutgers University marine scientist Jennifer Francis, who wasn’t part of the study, said the link is so clear and direct that “we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Arctic sea ice is disappearing because of increased carbon dioxide.” Stroeve and Notz calculated that the average American each year is responsible for carbon emissions that lead to melting around 538 square feet (50 square meters) of September sea ice.

Falling off, getting back on skateboard prepared singer/songwriter for music industry BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF
T
revor Alguire straddles the worlds of music and skateboarding and sees some similarities. “When you’re beaten and you’re down, you learn to get back up — which is perfect preparation for the music industry,” Alguire said, with a chuckle. Although he continues to nurture his “passion” for skateboarding by running a retail boarding gear shop in his native Ottawa, the singer/songwriter isn’t a musical newbie. Alguire, who performs on Thursday, Nov. 17, at Roosters in Red Deer, just released his sixth roots album, Perish In the Light. Among those who’ve given the CD the thumbs up is Alguire’s mother, who saw a lot of her son in the song I’ll Be Who I Am. “She said that song pretty much is me. It’s like a selfie because I’m pretty dedicated to doing what I want to do … I’m stubborn,” said Alguire.
Being strong-minded doesn’t hurt in a business that exposes one to public judgment: “A lot of people say, ‘Why do you do what you do?’ But it actually takes a lot.” Making music “is a soul-baring thing,” added Alguire. “When you perform something you’ve written it’s like a piece of you is being left behind.” Some critics have said Alguire deserves to be better known, but he does have a solid fan base in Alberta, where he’s performed about half a dozen times. Perish in the Light is a collection of original songs recorded with the help of some musician friends, including Juno Award-winning singer Catherine MacLellan, who sings a duet with Alguire on My Sweet Rosetta. Blue Rodeo guitarist Bob Egan accompanies him on several new tracks, and Miranda Mulholland (Belle Star, Great Lake Swimmers) contributes fiddle melodies. Alguire, who’s stared stages with Tom Cochrane and Martha Wainwright, hopes listeners will bring some of their own insights to what

Sculpture exhibit plays on notions of home and space BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF
J
ason Frizzell’s Dead Cities exhibit is about going home — which isn’t as bleak as it sounds. The intriguing sculptures displayed at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery tell a post-apocalyptic tale. But the emphasis is on ‘post,’ said the local artist, who feels a redemptive message underlies his latest strange creations. Many of Frizzell’s small dioramas are about transformation or rebuilding, including one called The Reanimation of Professor Tidwell. The steampunk-ish sculpture shows a tiny man in top hat and waistcoat sitting in a chair, while two large pieces of scifi equipment — proton blasters? ray guns? — are pointed at his head. Is Tidwell about to be raised from the dead? Transported back in time? Frizzell isn’t big on revealing narratives, but admitted it could very well be either scenario. His goal is creating art that draws in viewers and lets them make their own determinations. To reveal too much, said Frizzell, is to not give observers enough credit for bringing their own ideas to the table. Dead Cities plays with notions of home and place. The artist also finds “fascination and hope in the idea of struggle,” whether emotional or physical. For instance, Frizzell sees a hope-

Something that’s fallen into decay is now being recovered, he explained. Return to Dust initially looks like a placid scouting scene. But while the pup tent featured in the diorama “feels like a safe space,” Frizzell said the world outside it— as indicated by a tiny man wearing a gas mask — is an ominous environment. Frizzell, who studied visual arts at Red Deer College and the Universities of Calgary and Victoria, is inspired by the Mad Max movies of the ’80s. This is glimpsed in his The Ocean is a Memory, and Well-Worn Path Through the Aftermath. Both involve railway contraptions and trees. While there’s a psychological darkness to his work — especially in Today We Burned a Liar, in which a desolate donkey observes a pole with ashes at its base — Contact deals with lighter subject matter. Frizzell said the alien snake descending to earth pays homage to schlocky, low-tech horror movies. “I like B monster movies, like The Blob.” Frizzell, who’s Dean of the School of Creative Arts at Red Deer College, usually exhibits in Edmonton or Calgary, so is pleased to have this local opportunity to show his work, including 50 of his drawings.

REMEMBRANCE DAY
How ‘vicarious trauma’ is passed down from parent to child in military families BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
T
ORONTO — When retired soldier Jacqueline Buckley sees her four-year-old grandson get angry, she can’t help but think of her own capacity to explode with rage. She also thinks of the fury that can be unleashed by his mother, her daughter. The former sergeant believes this is the legacy of her post-traumatic stress disorder, a harrowing psychological wound she was diagnosed with in 2009. She suspects it is buried deep in her family tree. She notes that her own military dad was a stoic man who refused to discuss what he did during postings to Germany and Cyprus. Their cold relationship was not unlike the one she would forge with her own kids. “I knew he loved me, but I don’t think I ever felt it,” says Buckley, who lives in Carstairs, Alta. Now she frets over the fate of her daughter’s hyperactive toddler, a rambunctious boy who she suspects may have behavioural issues, as well as his 12-year-old half-sister. Buckley believes they’re hobbled by a rocky childhood in which their young mother fell in and out of violent relationships and became addicted to oxycodone and heroin. Buckley blames part of those struggles on her own poor caregiving skills, which she says went south in 1998. She was part of a grisly mission to analyse dental remains of the victims of Swissair Flight 111, the airliner that smashed into the Atlantic Ocean a few kilometres from Peggys Cove, N.S., killing all 229 people on board. At the end of a long day at the morgue, Buckley — who was a single mom at the time — would go home, have a bath and cry. Her daughter was aged 10 but Buckley says she “just checked out” as a mother. “I was home but I wasn’t there,” she says, admitting she “was probably a very mean parent.” “Looking back, I know I love my children, but I didn’t know how to feel love. I was cold. I had no emotion at all and if I did have an emotion it was probably anger,” says Buckley, who was medically released from service in 2010. As the years went on, her anxiety grew “and anger became huge.” She had trouble sleeping, pursued toxic relationships, suffered unexpected odour-based flashbacks, and obsessed over indelible memories of human remains.
Mirroring symptoms Today, Buckley suspects her children and grandchildren are mirroring some of her symptoms, believing they suffer from a condition sometimes referred to as vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, or secondary PTSD. Experts define this as the emotional duress that results when someone

It can also affect professionals such as psychotherapists, child welfare workers, emergency personnel or addiction counsellors. Greg Lubimiv of the Phoenix Centre for Children and Families near Garrison Petawawa says it’s a growing problem for military families, especially as a new generation grapples with the legacy of their parents’ multiple deployments to Afghanistan, the longest war in Canadian history. “We’ve had examples where a young person has become suicidal, we’ve had cases where children have become depressed, where children have become very disrespectful of authority, just very angry inside and not really be able to explain what’s going on with them,” says Lubimiv, whose centre serves about 1,500 people per year, about 25 to 30 per cent of them from military families. “We’ve had parents who become very impatient, who become very threatening to their children, very angry with the children. And this is all … a result of being overwhelmed by emotion, which can happen to any of us in a stressful situation.” He recalled the case of an eightyear-old who was a fairly good student until he punched another child. Therapy revealed he feared for the safety of his soldier father in Afghanistan but felt he couldn’t talk about it with his mother because she refused to discuss the war. “His interpretation of that was his mom was being very vulnerable. Her
interpretation of him was he was very vulnerable. And it ended up with nobody communicating. And then in the end, it all became a volcano inside of this child.” It’s generally understood that children of traumatized people are at increased risk for mood and anxiety disorders but the impacts are far more extensive than previously thought, says Rachel Yehuda, director of the Traumatic Stress Studies division at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. She studied the children of Holocaust survivors and pregnant women who survived the 9/11 attacks and found that traumatic events can actually change the way genes respond to the environment, and that those changes can be passed on to the next generation. “What epigenetics is saying is that events have the ability to evoke change, deep change, not just transient change. But they have the ability to alter the way the body functions,” says Yehuda. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, she adds. “If you’re a biologist, you have to believe that at least some of that adaptation is meant to be positive,” she says. “It means that our efforts to create positive environments may yield positive changes.” Increasingly, Yehuda finds herself searching for meaning in a terrible event: she prefers to view trauma not as the enemy but as an inevitable part of life that people must prepare for. “There are so many people that have said, ‘If not for the fact that I was
challenged in this way, I might not be able to be empathic, or see pain in others, or find the solutions for what we can do to build and rectify,”’ she says. “The best we can hope for is that when challenges are thrown our way that we believe we have the tools for transformation and adaptation.”
Family screening not automatic Right now, it’s not automatic that a PTSD diagnosis also includes screening for the family but “increasingly, the recommendation is that it should be,” says Dr. Patrick Smith of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Smith says this is an issue he’s pressing as he serves on the mental health advisory committee for Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr, who is tasked with creating a new “centre of excellence” in veterans’ mental health care. The plan is to include a training component that could help various disciplines — be they social workers, psychologists, teachers or psychiatrists — learn about vicarious trauma. Buckley says that understanding is sorely needed, recounting her frustrating battles to secure intensive therapy for her daughter. “Families need so much more than I think they realize and I don’t think they actually get it,” she says. But at least Buckley says she feels better equipped to confront a cycle of trauma in her family. “I can’t fix what has been but I can move it forward as best as I can, knowing now what I know.”

WEDMAN, Walter Reinhold Nov. 5, 1930 - Nov. 6, 2016 On November 6, surrounded by the love of his family, Walter’s struggle came to an end as he released himself from this world into the arms of Jesus. He was a loving husband, father, grandpa and great-grandpa to us all and he will be deeply missed. Walter was born to Reinhold and Eva (Spilak) Wedman in Hay Lakes, AB and grew up on the family farm near St. Francis. In 1954, he married Janet (Tomaszeski) and settled in Red Deer where they raised their three daughters. Walter spent the majority of his years working in the oilfield industry until he retired. His greatest loves, outside his constantly expanding family, were playing baseball, golfing, fishing, and cheering on his favorite teams: the Oilers and the Blue Jays. He could always be found with Janet attending the sporting events, productions and concerts of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Over the years, he loved to spend time in his yard keeping it perfectly manicured. He had a lifelong passion for giving gifts right until the end. Walter will be loving remembered by Janet, his wife of 62 years; their daughters; Wendy Skinner, Shelley (Doug) Lienau and Carrie (Paul) Goodman; ten grandchildren; Jennifer Wells, Lindsay (Konrad) Donaghy, Jared Skinner, Amy (Scott) Kudras, David, Jordan, Cameron Lienau, Brett, Drew, and Hayley Goodman, six great-grandchildren; Austin, Carson, and Shae Wells, Mackenzie Donaghy, Jaxon and Cohen Kudras. He is also survived by sisters; Gladys Mertz, Jean Hotchkiss, Maxine (Dennis) Suter, and Carole (Glen) Nystrom. Walter was predeceased by his parents Reinhold and Eva Wedman and sister Norma Hughes. The Wedman Family would like to extend their heartfelt thank-you to Dr. Robert Mulder, the medical teams of the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, Vital Air, and the compassionate caring team of the Red Deer Hospice.

GRAB, Vicktor Richard Dec. 5, 1966 - Oct. 22, 2016 Our brother, uncle, colleague and friend, Vicktor Richard Grab passed away peacefully with family at his side on Saturday, October 22, 2016 at Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Alberta. He was 49. Born and raised on the family farm near Rimbey, Alberta, Vicktor was the youngest of ten children born to Waldemar and Erika Elise Grab. Vicktor was predeceased by his parents, Waldemar (1992) and Erika (1999). He is survived by his two sisters and seven brothers: Wesley (Reanee) of Van Buren, Arkansas; Gary (Debra) of Calgary, Alberta; Wally (Antje) of Carstairs, Alberta; Johnny (Darlene) of Hoadley, Alberta; Evelyn (Joe) of Edmonton, Alberta; Ingrid (Dave) of Oakville, Ontario; Reiner (Marion) of Sherwood Park, Alberta; Edgar of Edmonton, Alberta; and Rudi (Chris) of Leduc, Alberta. Vicktor is also survived by numerous nephews and nieces. Vicktor will fondly be remembered and greatly missed. A lifelong bachelor, Vicktor greatly enjoyed spending time with family. He had a special connection with his nephews and nieces and particularly liked holiday celebrations and watching their various extracurricular sport activities (hockey, basketball, soccer, dance and more). He was passionate about many things: reading, watching movies and science fiction television shows, the Edmonton Oilers, participating in football and hockey pools, curling, bowling, slo-pitch, rec hockey, golf, etc. For many years, Vicktor was an active member of the Olds Royal Canadian Legion #105 where he developed many lasting friendships. Vicktor completed the Chemical Technologist program at NAIT (Edmonton, Alberta), and was principally employed by Banner Pharmacaps (Olds, Alberta) and later by Factors Group of Nutritional Companies (Kelowna, BC). Since about 2008 Vicktor courageously battled ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Despite the ravages of this insidious disease, Vicktor’s radiant smile was a constant. If friends so desire, it was Vicktor’s wish that memorial donations be made in his name to the ALS Society of Alberta: http://www.alsab.ca/take-action/(phone: 403-228-3857 or mail: ALS Society of Alberta, 7874 - 10 Street NE, Calgary, Alberta T2E 8W1). Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.wilsonsfuneralchapel.ca Special thanks go to the many caregivers and healthcare providers who contributed to Vicktor’s care over the past several years with special gratitude to the staff of the Carewest Dr. Vernon Fanning Centre in Calgary. Funeral services and a celebration of Vicktor’s will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, November 12, 2016 at Wilson’s Funeral Chapel & Crematorium located at 4937 - 49th Avenue, Rimbey, Alberta T0C 2J0.

LEUNG, Vivian Vivian Leung passed away on November 4, 2016 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital at the age of 93. She is survived by her children, Anita (Ed), Warren (Cherry), and Sylvia (Larry), extended family, Cher and daughter Chloe, Matthew and Chelsea and sons Luke and Cole, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Soman and her son Timothy. Vivian was born in Victoria, the youngest of seven children. The family relocated to Calgary when she was 15 and started a group of small grocery stores in the city. In 1944, she married Soman and the couple moved to Red Deer where he and a partner established Sterling Cleaners. Vivian was an enthusiastic golfer and enjoyed her days as a member of “the Sloppys” gang of golf hackers. She also curled and her skill on the ice far surpassed that exhibited on the golf course. She was an avid bridge player and fierce opponent. In her final years, her fiesty nature prevailed as she suffered a series of strokes; she remained determined and undaunted by any setbacks to the end. For Vivian, her family always came first. She was a dedicated mother to her children and to a special niece, Karina, who lived with the family for a number of years. At Vivian’s request, there will be a private family burial. Memorial contributions in Vivian’s honour can be made directly to either Stars Air Ambulance (www.Stars.ca) or Red Deer Hospice Society (www.reddeerhospice.com).

Annie’s Mailbox
Widow ready to start dating again D
ear Annie: It has been two years since my husband of 25 years passed away. He was my best friend. We did everything together. My children have been amazingly supAnnie portive to me. They are always including me Lane with their own families for dinners, with going to church, etc. Neither my son nor my daughter has even hinted at this, but lately I have been feeling like a bit of a burden. I am in my mid-50s and feel as if I am ready to start dating again. My daughter told me about a singles group at her church. Well, I went to one meeting, and it was all women, with only one man in the group — who was only showing interest in the 35-year-old; go figure. I just feel that men my own age are looking for some-
one younger. I am ready to just give up and be alone for the rest of my life. — Lonely Widow in California Dear Lonely: True, it might be a little more challenging to meet someone now than when you were in your 20s. But it is by no means impossible, so don’t give up so easily. Anything worth doing is worth a little grit. First, I suggest you check out online dating sites. Find the sites that seem right for you, and ask your children to help you set up your profile, if you need help. I’m sure they would be excited. They want you to be happy. If you’re really not comfortable with online dating, just telling your friends and family that you are now open to dating could open doors for you. They may have not wanted to set you up because they weren’t sure about your readiness, but now that you are ready, it’s time to spread the word. Dear Annie: Do not always take letters at face value and make assumptions. I am that daughter described
in the letter from “Missing Her,” the 82-year-old mother who lamented that her daughter hasn’t spoken to her in 12 years. For years, I was the family scapegoat. I was called “troublesome” and “always prickly.” Every time I did something good, my parents took credit for it. (I got into a prestigious university because my mother took the application to the post office, for example.) Anything bad and I was going to kill my mother with the grief I caused. When I asked my parents to stop doing things that were hurtful to me, they would say such things as, “How dare you tell us what to do? We’re your parents.” I was dragged to counseling on multiple occasions, but whenever the therapist suggested my parents could change some of their relationship techniques (for instance, talking directly to me rather than complaining about me to my brother and dragging him into the problem), the therapy sessions were somehow no longer
“working” or “convenient” and were stopped. After decades of this, I finally decided that I had had enough and stopped responding to them. They have not once reached out to ask what they could do to repair the relationship, nor have they apologized for past wrongs or in any way offered to work toward a better relationship. Instead, they write long, chatty letters that are all about them and pretend that there is nothing amiss. Meanwhile, they vilify me to anyone who will listen. In these circumstances, Annie, you have the gall to say that I seem “quick to burn bridges rather than repair them”? My opinion, Annie, is that rather than just support what this “poor, victimized” woman wants to hear, you could perhaps present the possibility that there is another side to the story. — Grieving for the Relationship I Couldn’t Have Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.
Snake on a plane: Live reptile intrudes on flight in Mexico
A brief video circulating online shows a greenish snake emerging from the ceiling behind an overhead luggage compartment and then partially dropping down into the cabin. Aeromexico says in a statement that the plane was given priority landing in Mexico City, where workers “secured the reptile.”
VANCOUVER — Members of British Columbia’s College of Veterinar-
ians have voted to ban cosmetic tail docking of dogs, horses and cattle. The college says the more than 91 per cent of members who took part in a recent vote cast ballots against tail docking. It says the vote brings British Columbia into line with the four Atlantic provinces and Quebec in banning cosmetic docking. The college says no scientific evidence supports docking for the welfare or medical benefit of an animal, but evidence does show docking can harm animal behaviour and communication, as well as raise risks of infection and phantom pain. In addition to cosmetic tail dock-
ing and tail alteration, ear cropping has already been banned in B.C. The college says some breed associations continue to resist docking bans, citing historical practices, but college president Brendan Matthews wants veterinarians to set an example. “Veterinarians have an ethical responsibility to the animals they treat and tail docking goes against that responsibility. We ask other provinces to follow suit and for breed associations to recognize the changing times,” he says in a news release. Veterinarians who continue the practice of docking will face disciplinary action from the college.
and family will benefit from your optimism and generosity today Taurus, as you spread sunshine around. You also have the power to influence a group situation in a positive way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): With Venus visiting your partnership zone, relationship problems should start to improve. So it’s a fabulous time to talk things through; plus find ways to be more consultative and caring. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Crabs are usually pretty private creatures. But today you’ll feel like expressing your feelings and telling others how you feel about a wide range of issues. Creative pursuits are also favoured. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re keen to say what’s on your mind today. And you’re also primed to connect with others on an emotional level, mix and mingle, communicate and chat. But avoid barging in and taking over. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When it
comes to close relationships, creative communication will take you far. A combination of two-way conversation and careful listening will improve connections in leaps and bounds. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Have you been pulling your weight around the house? With Pluto in your home zone, the more you procrastinate about domestic responsibilities, the more problems you’ll have with loved ones. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When you are communicating with a parent, child or friend, make sure you combine head and heart today. With intellect and intuition on board, you’ll get the conversation flowing again. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Are you feeling stressed because you have to make an important decision? Don’t just listen to your logical side. If you pay attention to your intuition, it will lead you in the right direction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be
careful that your business-like Capricorn approach isn’t misinterpreted as cool indifference. When communicating with others — in person and online — don’t neglect the personal touch. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarians don’t usually waste time dwelling on the negatives. But you may worry about a confusing financial matter today. If you tune into your intuition, you’ll know just what to do next. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Positive aspects stimulate your creative and spiritual side, and help you tune into the wisdom of your inner voice. For some Fish, a project that’s been on the back burner finally gets the green light. Joanne Madeline Moore is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist. Her column appears daily in the Advocate.
MEXICO CITY — Passengers on a commercial flight in Mexico were given a start when a serpent slithered into the cabin in a scene straight out of the Hollywood thriller “Snakes on a Plane.” Carrier Aeromexico says the reptile was detected on a Sunday flight from Torreon in the country’s north to Mexico City.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Joanne Strive to get the balance Madeline right between your pubMoore lic, and private lives. Next January and June are marvellous months for love and romance. ARIES (March 21-April 19): When it comes to making an important financial, professional or personal decision, don’t disregard your gut feelings Rams. You’ll find intellect and intuition are a powerful double act. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Friends

HONOUR VETERANS ON REMEMBRANCE DAY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE
O
n the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, World War I fighting ceased. The war, which had raged on throughout Europe for a little more than four years, claimed the lives of more than nine million combatants and seven million civilians. The Allies squared off against the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary, and the conflict involved nations from all over the world. World War II was even more devastating. Ultimately, 100,000 Canadian soldiers lost their lives in these two wars combined. It is in their honour — and in the name of all the servicemen and women who continue to risk their lives in service of their country — that Remembrance Day was established. Remembrance Day, sometimes referred to as Armistice Day or Poppy Day, is celebrated each year on November 11. It is a federal statutory holiday in much of Canada. During the holiday, people pause for two minutes at 11 a.m. to remember the many Canadian soldiers who lost their lives. Many people also wear red poppies, a flower that has become synonymous with the holiday. In addition to the moments of silence and the wearing of poppies, individuals can commemorate Remembrance Day in the following ways.
• Treat a veteran. Take a soldier out for a meal or pay the restaurant bill anonymously. If a family member or friend is presently in the military or retired from the service, learn his or her interests and plan a special, stressfree day. Share a servicemember’s story. Speak with a service person who served in World War II about his or her military service, and chronicle this person’s story into a living history. Encourage children to take part in learning about this person’s history and experiences. Volunteer at a veteran’s association. Find a department of veteran’s affairs and see what you can do to assist veterans. If you have specialized skills, offer your services free of charge to former soldiers. Show your patriotism. Be proud of your heritage and the rich history of the country. Fly the flag, participate in the voting process and teach children about the country’s founding principles and how much the nation has evolved. Read up on current events and take an interest in domestic and foreign affairs. Establish your own traditions. Create your own way to celebrate Remembrance Day. This may include a day of contemplation, spending time with family, visiting historical sites, or watching documentaries on the life-changing wars that transformed the world. Remembrance Day is a time to honour the patriotism of selfless soldiers who sacrificed their lives to make Canada — and the world — a safer place.
At the 11th hour, On the 11th day, of the 11th month, We Will Remember Them!

IN FLANDERS FIELDS In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead: Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved: and now we lie In Flanders fields! Take up our quarrel with the foe To you, from failing hands, we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
