REMEMBRANCE DAY

HUNDREDS GATHER TO RECOGNIZE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE OF MORE THAN 116,000 CANADIANS

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

ive years ago Master Cpl. Byron Greff of Lacombe had a newborn daughter and was training Afghan soldiers when he was killed. On Friday, Candy ‘I AM Greff, the HONOURED Silver Cross TO BE A Mother, laid a wreath at SILVER CROSS the cenotaph MOTHER; at Red Deer HOWEVER, Legion’s ReIT’S A membrance Day Service TRAGEDY THAT before hun- I HAVE TO BE A dreds who came out to SILVER CROSS MOTHER.’ CrossRoads Church. — CANDY GREFF “I am honSILVER CROSS MOTHER oured to be a Silver Cross Mother; however, it’s a tragedy that I have to be a Silver Cross Mother,” said Greff who just commemorated the anniversary of her son’s Oct. 29, 2011, death. Byron, a member of Third Battalion of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, was killed on a routine trip between training and headquarter bases when a car packed with explosives rammed into the heavily armoured NATO bus being escorted by two heavily-armed patrol vehicles. Five NATO soldiers, eight civilian contractors and four Afghans were killed in the blast, and many others wounded. Greff said her 28-year-old son was the 158th soldier killed in Afghanistan. He was on his second tour. She said along with her sadness, she will remember how good he was at his job and his determination to help others. “We are so proud of the military and all that they do. I will never forget Byron saying, ‘The kites are flying in Afghanistan. That means the children are feeling safe enough to go and fly kites,’ ” Greff said. She was thankful to all Legions for hosting services on Nov. 11. Bev Hanes, Red Deer Legion president, said services across the country recognized the ultimate sacrifice of more than 116,000 Canadians, as well as those who returned home with physical and psychological wounds. “The ceremony of remembrance began as a small spontaneous gathering at local cenotaphs as veterans paid homage to their fallen comrades. The ceremony has evolved into an

She said it’s easy to think of the casualties of war as the seniors attending the services. But most who lost their lives in war were teenagers. Rev. Gary Sinclair urged people and countries to work towards peace. “Whether you believe in the God I believe in, or another God, or even if you have no God, I would challenge you always to do what is right in the name of whatever it is you believe in. To treat each other with respect. To look at others not with hatred or distrust, but with open hearts and open minds with open eyes,” said Sinclair who is also a veteran.

Get your Smile Back! PRETATAU ® IMPLANT BRIDGE

ALL-ON-4

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

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

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

‘I love my country’

MILITARY RESERVES

RED DEER WOMAN JOINED RESERVE TO GIVE BACK TO COMMUNITY

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF

hen Canadian Army Officer Cadet Maria Cappis is asked about why she joined the military reserves, she is quick to answer — “I love my country.” “Maybe it sounds a little bit silly, but I’m really, really proud of my country, and my community. And I really want to give back because my country has done a lot for me … and I want to be able to give back, because that’s the only way our country’s going to stay good is if we participate in our communities and our country, to keep Canada the best country in the world.” Cappis, 34, is a reservist in the 41 Signal Regiment, 2nd Squad, the Canadian Army communications reserve unit based in Red Deer. City residents will most notice the soldiers, especially on Wednesday evenings when they are training at Cormack Armoury, and whenever there are events in the community, especially on Remembrance Day. Army Reserve members train and take courses as any regular force member would. While many work fulltime in civilian jobs, some also serve

She’s also a full-time Red Deer College parts technician instructor, mom to two young children, and a University of Alberta part-time student studying education. On Remembrance Day she will attend the Sylvan Lake ceremonies as a member of the military.

“A lot of Red Deerians don’t know that there is a military presence in Red Deer at all, or that they’re even able to get involved with the military in the reserves. So what we’re trying to do is show people they can have a good viable career in the reserves right here in Central Alberta,” Cappis

said. Since September, in her role as junior officer, she has been assisting with recruiting. Prior to that she was a resource management clerk, dealing with matters like pay and benefits. But since 2001, when Cappis joined the military reserves, it hasn’t just been pushing paper or talking to people. She was deployed to Bosnia in 2003 for six months during “the pre-kid years” as she calls it. “It was a fantastic eye-opening experience.” She worked with all the nationalities that are part of NATO. Her role there was in training and as a support driver. Cappis said she would like to be deployed again, but her children are still young, and so that’s not in her near-future plans. She joined the military after going along to a movie she really didn’t want to see in Lethbridge where she was in school studying fashion design and merchandising. She saw an interesting ad in the movie preview about the army reserves and called the recruiter the next morning. She has now been a reservist for 16 years now. Born and raised in Lacombe, Cappis moved to Red Deer after Bosnia and became part of the local reserves unit here. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

CANADIAN ARMED FORCES

Military diver worked long hours in dangerous circumstances BY JONATHAN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF

oy Busby, 84, served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 37 years and although he didn’t serve in any wars, his dedication to serving Canada shouldn’t go unnoticed. Busby served in the navy from 1954-1991 and was a diver until 1971 before transitioning to office work at the National Defence headquarters in Ottawa. He retired to Red Deer in 1991. Busby trained with the Royal Navy

in England to become a clearance diving officer and earned his deep sea underwater salvage and explosive ordnance disposals training in the United States. “When I joined, the purpose of a diver was to deal with any underwater repairs to ships,” said Busby. “The divers also became responsible for all forms of explosive disposal and all forms of munitions disposal under water and on the surface.” During his time, Busby was on call more often than not and found himself working long hours and in dangerous circumstances.

“We were always getting called out for little things like when loggers left dynamite sitting in sheds out in the bush without rotating it. The nitroglycerin in the dynamite would seep down to the bottom and would crystallize, which became very dangerous,” said Busby. Recovering bodies was also part of his job, whether it was searching for aircrafts that crashed over water or recovering bodies from boating accidents and people who fell through ice. See BUSBY on page 8

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Canadians remember and say thank you BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TTAWA — Canadians from coast-to-coast paused in remembrance and gratitude Friday for those who offered their lives in service of their country — but it was one young woman’s personal gesture that Darrel MacDonald will never forget. In a wheelchair since a spinal-cord injury during a training accident in 1998 cut his military career short, MacDonald had travelled to Ottawa from Halifax this week for his first Remembrance Day in the capital. He was fighting back tears at the

memory of a fallen comrade, describing the importance of thanking a veteran in front the National War Memorial, when a young woman emerged from the crowd to do exactly that. “Thank you,” she said, looking MacDonald in the eyes and shaking his hand. “God bless you.” With that, she vanished back into the crowd almost as quickly as she appeared, leaving MacDonald momentarily speechless. “Like that,” he finally said. “That just made my day.” With the passage of time has come ever greater distance between Canada and the great conflicts that shaped

it over the course of the 20th century. The last surviving First World War veteran died more than six years ago, and the number of veterans from the Second World War and Korea continues to shrink. Yet there was a sense from some of the thousands who braved the wind and cold Friday in Ottawa that the country’s commitment to reflection and remembrance remains stronger than even 20 or 30 years ago, thanks in large part to Afghanistan. “It’s great to see that there are so many people that come out for this sort of thing,” said Chief Warrant Officer Darren Hessel as he looked around at the crowd. “The early ’90s, late ’80s, I remember there wasn’t that many out for this type of event.” The regimental sergeant-major of the 1st Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, Hessel said Remembrance Day is a “hard day for a lot of us” because of the comrades lost in Afghanistan. Eleven members of the 1st Battalion died during the war. But he also said the sad fact is that once Canadians started dying in Afghanistan, it renewed the public’s appreciation for those who serve in the military, which had started to fade after Korea.

“Once we start seeing our soldiers being killed overseas,” he said, “it’s something that starts to pick up again.” Thousands of Canadians served on operations overseas as peacekeepers in the decades between Korea and Afghanistan. Many participated in Friday’s march around the memorial, their bright blue berets filling in the gaps where years ago Second World War and Korean vets would have stood. But their contributions were largely overlooked, said retired warrant officer Ryan Canning, who also felt the crowds at Remembrance Day in recent years have been stronger than a few decades ago. “The peacekeepers were completely underappreciated for their efforts, so the turnouts weren’t as big,” Canning said. “But now a 10-year war, we lost 158 soldiers.” In Ottawa, the crowd gathered early, and included current and former military members, out-of-town visitors and families with young children — a new generation of Canadians learning the importance of remembrance. The crowd was silent as the Peace Tower tolled 11 a.m. and the crisp bugle notes of the Last Post cut through the air.

OTTAWA — As Canadians mark Remembrance Day on Friday, they are being encouraged to remember the 13 military search-and-rescue technicians who have died in the line of duty since 1947. Here are some facts about search-and-rescue technicians, or SAR techs: ● The military has about 150 SAR techs, with 112 of them in operational roles and the remainder at the SAR tech school in Comox, B.C., and various staff positions. ● Prospective SAR techs typically

have between four or five years of previous military experience and are all enlisted members (non-officers). ● Training takes about a year and includes scuba diving, parachuting, and extreme weather survival. ● SAR techs are supported by the crews of the search-and-rescue helicopters and airplanes that get them where they need to go. ● Most of the 13 SAR techs killed in action were lost in plane and helicopter crashes.

Carolina and train with the U.S. Navy looking for mines and recovering them,” said Busby. Busby also dove in the Mediterranean Sea alongside the Royal Navy in places like Gibraltar and Malta and along side the Italian Navy in La Spezia, Italy. “The diving world is a small part of the Canadian Forces, but it’s also a brotherhood in all of the western navies. They all have diving branches and are all qualified in explosive ordnance disposal,” said Busby. Busby was married to Shirley Travis for 52 years before she died in 2008. They moved around the country with the Canadian Navy until retiring in Red Deer. jonathan.guignard@ reddeeradvocate.com

BUSBY: Enjoyed time as diver “It’s always good to find a body because that provides closure to the families, but finding bodies is always rough. You’re finding someone who’s a loss to someone,” said Busby. Busby said it wasn’t an easy job but he still got a lot of joy out of his time as a diver. “I enjoyed diving, especially because of all the places I got to visit.

AMBER ALERT

IPAWIN, Sask. — A crowdfunding page has been set up to support the mother of a seven-year-old girl who was found dead in a northeastern Saskatchewan

home. Police had issued an Amber Alert for Nia Eastman on Thursday after she was not returned to her mother the night before. Nia’s father, Adam Jay Eastman, was found dead in a rural area from self-inflicted injuries, and hours later Nia’s body was discovered in a house in the small community of Choiceland. Melinda Fleming, who started the GoFundMe campaign, says she wants to support Nia’s mother, Crystal Eastman, as she mourns the loss of a sweet, talented and beautiful daughter. Fleming said in an email that the Eastmans were neighbours and their kids played together a lot. By Friday afternoon, the campaign had raised

more than $10,000 — double its initial goal. “When I think of Nia, all I can picture is her smile that could light up a room. She was always so happy and kind,” Fleming wrote on the website, which has a photo of the smiling, bespectacled girl. “My kids loved going over to play with Nia. If they could, I’m sure they would have went over there every day! They grew close and formed a good friendship. We will all miss Nia dearly. She was taken from this life far too soon. “Heaven gained a beautiful angel … Rest easy beautiful girl.” In a comment posted to the page, Jason Gudmundson said TecIT Solutions in Choiceland has set up a donation box to collect funds for Nia’s loved ones. He said everyone with the technology company is heartbroken over the loss. He extended condolences to the girl’s mother, her father’s family “and anyone Nia touched in her short life.” “She truly was a breath of fresh air!”

Safety specialists rescue hiker stuck overnight on mountain BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

AKE LOUISE — Rescuers had to be flown in by helicopter to help a hiker stranded on a mountain south of Lake Louise in Banff National Park. The unidentified man had made it to the almost 2,800-metre summit of Fairview Mountain on Wednesday, but got into trouble when he tried to

go down using an unfamiliar route. Safety specialist Stephen Holeczi says the man realized by nightfall that he wasn’t going to make it, so he used his cellphone to call for help. But the terrain was too tricky — especially in the dark — for a crew to hike to his aid, so he was told he’d have to spend the night on the mountain. Safety specialists were flown in early Thursday morning to a ledge below the man and climbed to where he was.

Charity expects high demand for AdoptA-Family program BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

alvation Army expects more struggling families to register for its Christmas Adopt-A-Family program this year. Run in conjunction with similar programs organized by Red Deer Christmas Bureau and Central Alberta Women’s Outreach Society, Adopt-A-Family provides a holiday meal and gifts for children younger than 18 who are eligible for assistance. Registration at Salvation Army begins on Monday and Maj. Larry Bridger said lots of people have already booked appointments for next week. He encouraged people who have lost their jobs and need assistance to come forward even though it may be stressful if they have never had to apply before. “It’s not necessarily a bad thing to have to come and ask. Sometimes you need to a little hand up, not a hand out, to get over a rough time,” Bridger said. “You may as well take advantage to still have Christmas.” Last year Salvation Army helped sponsors adopt 220 families and individuals, including 400 children. In 2014, they helped 185 families and individuals. Mostly families with children apply, along with some seniors over the age of 60. He said sponsors have also started coming forward. “We’re going to need a lot more sponsors this year. To handle the number we expect, we’ll be needing a more new sponsors as well as previous sponsors.” He said some individuals, groups, and businesses have regularly sponsored families for years. Salvation Army will provide food and toys for families that are not matched with sponsors. To register for assistance call 403-346-2251 to make an appointment.

LEONARD COHEN

Montrealers flock to singer’s house BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

ONTREAL — He would often sit at the counter of the coffee shop, wearing his signature dark suit and carrying a notebook. And before he left, Leonard Cohen would seek out every patron who had approached him and thank them. “He’d give them a little handshake and say ‘thank you, friend,’ ” said Simon Rosson, co-owner of Bagel Etc, the bustling restaurant across the street from Cohen’s Montreal home. Rosson said he once complimented Cohen on his jacket, prompting the singer to insist on giving it to him. “He was just a soft-spoken, friendly gentleman,” he said. Rosson was one of many Montrealers sharing memories of the legendary performer, songwriter and musician who was one of the city’s most beloved native sons. On Friday, a steady stream of visitors stopped by the grey stone house he owned just off Saint-Laurent Boulevard, pausing to lay flowers, candles and even a fedora on the doorstep. Although news of his death only became publicly known Thursday night, Cohen’s biographer, Sylvie Simmons, said a family friend told her the 82-year-old actually died Monday. At the makeshift memorial, Cohen songs wafted out from a boom box manned by Daniel Aragao Cavalcanti, a young Brazilian who had stayed all night despite the November chill. One woman brought a green candle, a nod to the opening lyric of

Cohen’s One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong — the song she said convinced her to marry her husband when she was having doubts. “Today is our 10-year anniversary,” said the woman, who gave her name as Fiona. “Ten years of happiness, thanks to Mr. Cohen.” Many who gathered Friday described Cohen as unfailingly polite and gracious in person.

“He has this way of making you feel so comfortable, I guess because he himself is very centred and he knows how to get to that essence of a person,” Natasha Ludovic said. Others mentioned his poetry and his connection to the city they say he never forgot. “He represents the most cultural side of Montreal, certainly the English, Jewish side,” said Renee Hebert, who came to tie a black ribbon

on a lamppost outside the home. “He has a sense of humour that was particularly Jewish.” A traditional Jewish memorial service for Cohen was conducted in Quebec on Thursday. Cohen was born in Montreal on Sept. 21, 1934, and although he eventually lived in many places, he kept property in Montreal and returned periodically throughout his life.

Cohen leaves behind rich literary legacy BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

ORONTO — As the world reflects on the musical legacy of the late Leonard Cohen, the Canadian icon is being remembered for his literary contributions where the acclaimed artist found his early taste of fame. In addition to his two novels, The Favourite Game and Beautiful Losers, Cohen also published 11 books of poetry over the course of his lengthy artistic career. His most recent poetic works were Stranger Music Selected Poems and Songs, Book of Longing, and Leonard Cohen: Poems and Songs. McClelland & Stewart publisher Jared Bland described Cohen as “a poet of transcendent beauty and wisdom” and “a novelist of moral urgency and insight.” Queen’s University English profes-

sor Robert May says Cohen’s debut collection Let Us Compare Mythologies published in 1956 contains some of the work for which the late artist is best known — and many of the poems were written when he was still in his teens. It wasn’t until the late 1950s and early 1960s that Cohen came under the influence of some of the avant-garde writers in Canada — like the late Montreal-born poet Louis Dudek — and started writing more highly experimental forms of poetry, May noted. “In his subsequent books of poetry, you begin to see a real expansion of form and content and subject matter. He begins to abandon traditional forms and themes and he begins to embrace a broader range of issues,” May said in a phone interview from Kingston, Ont.

Rubber bullets and fear: Trump protesters flood streets anew PORTLAND, Ore. — From New York to Illinois to California, in red states and blue, protesters decrying Donald Trump’s election spent another night overtaking highways, smashing store windows, igniting fires and in at least one city, facing pepper spray and rubber projectiles from police trying to clear the streets. The demonstrations stretched into a third straight night Thursday and came to a head in Portland, Oregon, where thousands of marchers chanted, “We reject the presidentelect!” while some lit firecrackers, sparked small blazes and used rocks and baseball bats to break the glass of businesses and vehicles parked at dealerships. Officers began pushing back against the crowd that threw glass bottles and a trash can, making 26

WARSAW, Poland — Far-right nationalists, burning flares and carrying Polish flags, marched in large numbers through the streets of Warsaw on Friday to mark Poland’s Independence Day, a yearly ritual that has become one of the largest far-right gatherings in Europe. Some of the nationalists carried banners depicting a falanga, which is a far-right symbol dating to the 1930s of a stylized hand with a sword. The nationalists, who are strongly opposed to accepting refugees from the Middle East, marched under the slogan “Poland the Bastion of Europe.” One huge banner read “God, Honor, Fatherland,” a patriotic slogan. Others read: “Death to the enemies of the fatherland” and “To be a Pole, to be a Catholic is a privilege and honour.”

MOSCOW — The Russian military and a main Syrian opposition group traded allegations Friday about whether new evidence indicates that either rebels or Syrian military used chemical weapons in the northern area of Aleppo where government forces are trying to regain control of areas they recently lost to insurgents.

REVIEW

The Butler Did It opens to riotous audience reaction F

rom zany pratfalls, to nutty characters, to theatrical deaths, there’s nothing subtle about Cow Patti’s season-opening thriller, The Butler Did It. The question in this LANA dinner theatre play — which opened to riotMICHELIN ous audience reaction on Thursday at the Lacombe Golf and Country Club — isn’t so much whodunnit? as who’s gonna get bumped off, and in what wacky way? The silly, convoluted story revolves around theatrical director Anthony J. Lefcourt, played with over-the-top aplomb by professional Ontario actor Allan Cooke. Lefcourt and his cast of eccentric actors are in the process of putting on an off- off-Broadway murder mystery. These are the kind of pompous theatre folk that obsess about themselves, talk endlessly about their ‘craft’ (but pronounce it ‘croft’), and are scenery chewers of the highest order. We’re talking rubber-faced Jim Carrey-like levels of mugging here. The biggest ham is Lefcourt, who has the fashion sense of Don Cherry, the humility of Donald Trump, and the subtle acting techniques of Mr. Bean. His silent scenes of tip-toeing across stage to Pink Panther music are among the play’s highlights. Without revealing too much of the script by Walter and Peter Marks, suffice to say the thriller is loaded with

ONDON — Buyers have snapped up modern artworks collected by David Bowie, with a painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat selling for more than 7 million pounds ($8.8 million) at a London auction. The first part of Sotheby’s two-day Bowie sale Thursday netted 24.3 million pounds ($30.3 million), more than double its upper pre-sale estimate. The musician, who died in January aged 69, was a passionate collector of contemporary and modern art. The top lot, Basquiat’s Air Power, sold for 7.1 million pounds ($8.8 million). Another, untitled Basquiat sold for 2.4 million pounds ($2.96 million). Bowie played Andy Warhol in Basquiat, Julian Schnabel’s 1996 biopic of

the American artist. Frank Auerbach’s painting Head of Gerda Boehm sold for 3.8 million pounds ($4.7 million), 10 times its estimate and a record for the British artist. A “spin” painting by British artist Damien Hirst, created with Bowie’s help, sold for $755,000 ($939,000). Sotheby’s said Thursday’s auction was a “white glove sale,” meaning every lot was sold. Bids came from 46 countries. Oliver Barker, deputy chairman of Sotheby’s Europe, said “the market totally responded to David Bowie and this wonderful collection that he put together.” More of Bowie’s collection is due to be auctioned Friday. The sale, of 400 items in all, also includes pieces of furniture and design from Bowie’s collection.

POLITICAL DEBATE

Moore’s election prediction doesn’t make him feel good BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

ichael Moore had spent the last days before the election warning, both in person and with his new film, that Hillary Clinton was in danger of losing to Donald Trump. So you could forgive the filmmaker for sounding an I-told-you-so note — if ruefully — when asked 48 hours after the Trump upset about his accurate forecast. “That doesn’t make me feel good, the fact that I was right. I never wanted to be more wrong,” the outspoken liberal director said on Thursday. “I just don’t live in the bubble of New York and L.A. and I was worried with what I was witnessing in the Midwest, the Rust Belt, what I call the ‘Brexit’ states.” Moore made his push via a movie called Michael Moore in TrumpLand, a live-shoot of an Ohio performance of a Spalding Gray-esque theater piece he’d recently written. The one-man show riffed generally on the election and sought to make a case for Clinton’s worthiness, part of an effort to stimulate what he called a depressed Democratic vote. At the time of its release several weeks ago, with Clinton leading heavily in many polls, Moore was accused of alarmism and opportunism — tweets during the New York premiere elicited allegations of both. But the director said that he was simply observing behavior in his native Midwest and had no interest other than to call it like he saw it. (Among his warnings that premiere night. “If I leave here tonight with people thinking this is a nice, funny show and we’re not in any kind of trouble and Trump has imploded, then I’d have failed.”) If his message didn’t get out, he said Thursday, don’t blame him — outside of a few MSNBC talk shows, most outlets didn’t want to host him. “It was a rare moment when anybody would have me on,” he said. “I’m not faulting anyone in particular. The media had a story, a narrative they wanted to tell, about Hillary, and they didn’t want anyone bursting it. They reduced people to numbers. The

Oprah Winfrey reflects on President-elect Donald Trump

TLANTA — As Oprah Winfrey reflected Thursday on this week’s election, she said she was initially in disbelief after learned Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. But the media mogul, who was vocal in her support for Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton, found some comfort in watching President Barack Obama and president-elect Trump meet with each other at the White House on Thursday. In an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, Winfrey said “hope is still alive” after Obama said he was encouraged by Trump’s willingness to work with his team during the transition of power.

needle is unclear; even his most widely seen film, Fahrenheit, didn’t deliver the election to the Democrats. TrumpLand had no formal distributor and went into a number of theaters at the same time that it went digital. It spent a few weeks high on the iTunes charts. Moore said he believes the movie helped close a gap in the all-important Midwest, where he’d concentrated his efforts. “I read this stat last night that if you took the combined (differential) amount in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin and put it in the University of Michigan football stadium, it wouldn’t even fill the whole stadium.” (The total discrepancy at the moment in three states — Michigan has officially not been called — is about 108,000; Michigan Stadium’s official capacity is almost exactly that.) “So the fact that I got it to a place where the vote difference would be that small I’m happy about. But I’m one person. There’s only so much I can do.” He said it became clear to him that, in Michigan, at least, Clinton was in serious trouble. The state that went red for the first time in 28 years — where Moore lives part-time — had, he said, felt betrayed by the Democrats as a result of several incidents, both coming on top of Bernie Sanders’ surprise primary win in the spring. One was President Barack Obama traveling to Flint, Mich., earlier this year and saying the city’s water crisis was over when it wasn’t (“We like Obama and are going to miss Obama and nobody wants to say anything negative but I’m going to,” Moore said). The other was a question reportedly fed to Clinton before a debate by Democratic political analyst Donna Brazile. “People forget that debate took place in Flint, Mich.,” Moore said. “And the people there felt like a prop.” Asked if he saw his role as that of an activist as Trump prepared to take office, he demurred, saying he didn’t like that term. “I’m not an activist, I’m a citizen. It’s redundant to say I’m an activist. We all should be active.”

COMEDY

Dave Chappelle hosts SNL tonight post-election BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

e may not have seen President-elect Donald Trump coming, but at least Saturday Night Live had the foresight to book Dave Chappelle – a comedian known for incisive, unpredictable commentary on race – to host the first episode following an election that came to embody our nation’s deep racial divisions. The gig marks a very public return for the reclusive comedian, who skyrocketed to fame with his Comedy Central sketch series Chappelle’s Show, which offered sharp and irreverent social commentary, particularly around race. Memorable sketches include a Frontline parody that found Chappelle portraying a blind KKK member who didn’t know he was actually black and a recurring bit that starred Chappelle as a crack addict with lips perpetually covered in white powder. There is also that classic sketch reenacting a surreal pick-up basketball game that Eddie Murphy and his brother Charlie played with Prince in the mid-80s. Chappelle abruptly left Comedy Central in 2005 after just two seasons — months after he reportedly signed a $50 million deal to film a third and fourth season. (He had already filmed enough material to comprise the three episodes that account for the show’s very truncated third season.) Chappelle headed to South Africa, sparking rumors that he was mentally ill or struggling with drug addiction, but Chappelle told Time’s Johannesburg bureau chief that the country offered him the one thing he could no longer get in the states: quiet. “I’m an introspective dude,” he told the magazine. “I enjoy my own thoughts sometimes. And I’ve been doing a lot of thinking here.” In the years since, Chappelle — a Washington native who graduated from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts — quietly returned to stand-up and has addressed the mystery surrounding his departure in sporadic interviews. In a 2006 interview with Oprah (one subject of the show’s humour), Chappelle said that the show’s demanding schedule and its financial success had

left him feeling stressed. He also felt the show’s subtle satire had morphed into something more sinister. “I was doing sketches that were funny, but socially irresponsible,” he said. “I felt like I was deliberately being encouraged and I was overwhelmed. It’s like you’re being flooded with things and you don’t pay attention to things like your ethics.” Chappelle made the late-night rounds in 2014, leading up to a nine-show stint at Radio City Music Hall. “Technically, I never quit. I am seven years late for work,” he told David Letterman. Chappelle admitted he remained conflicted about the way he left the show. “You know, whenever there’s something that I’d like to have that I could have afforded that I can’t now afford, well, then I’m upset about it,” he said. “But then when I see a guy going to do a job that’s time consuming, and he doesn’t have the free time to do things that I get to do, then I feel good about it.” Chappelle has continued stand-up, but remains an elusive, often misunderstood figure and has faced heckling at shows in recent years. At the Roots Picnic festival last month, Chappelle told the crowd, “You guys don’t know what I’ve been through, watching Key & Peele do my show the last five f—ing years.” He was joking, of course — minutes earlier he had told the crowd that his presence meant that “Kevin Hart couldn’t be here and D’Angelo’s late” — but Internet headlines screamed that he had “slammed” the comedy duo. In a stand-up set last Friday, Chappelle riffed on the election — including the infamous tape of Donald Trump and Billy Bush’s lewd remarks on Access Hollywood. The Observer (whose publisher, Jared Kushner, is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka) reported that Chappelle’s 60-minute set was “largely devoted to slamming Hillary Clinton” and that the comedian had “shocked the New York crowd by defending Trump.” On Monday, TMZ asked Chappelle if he was a Trump supporter. Chappelle responded, “I’m not a Trump support-

For whoever you want to vote for.” A spokesman for the comedian told Variety that Chappelle’s routine had “blasted both candidates” and that the comedian was “disgusted by the tone of the election and especially by the idea that his comedy would be misconstrued to defend Trump.” The rep added, “By the way, he voted for Hillary.”

EW YORK — Robert Vaughn, the debonair, Oscar-nominated actor whose many film roles were eclipsed by his hugely popular turn in television’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E., has died. He was 83. Vaughn died Friday morning after a brief battle with acute leukemia, according to his manager, Matthew Sullivan. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was an immediate hit, particularly with young people, when it debuted on NBC 1964. It was part of an avalanche of secret agent shows (I Spy, Mission: Impossible, Secret Agent), spoofs (Get Smart), books (The Spy Who Came in

From the Cold) and even songs (Secret Agent Man) inspired by the James Bond films. Vaughn’s urbane superspy Napoleon Solo teamed with Scottish actor David McCallum’s Illya Kuryakin, a soft-spoken, Russian-born agent. The pair, who had put aside Cold War differences for a greater good, worked together each week for the mysterious U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law and Enforcement) in combatting the international crime syndicate THRUSH. “Girls age 9 to 12 liked David McCallum because he was so sweet,” Vaughn remarked in a 2005 interview in England. “But the old ladies and the 13- to 16-year-olds liked me because I was so detached.”

YOUTH

Expectant father didn’t expect to feel this way D

ear Harlan: I’m the father of a three-yearold with another on the way. Sadly, my wife miscarried halfway through her second pregnancy. We struggled with secondary infertility for 19 Harlan months, and she’s now pregnant with our third Cohen using a donated egg (and my sperm). She’s about 10 weeks along and is very happy. I find myself struggling to connect with this pregnancy the way I did with the first two. I guess a lot of it has to do with the failed infertility treatments and having to pick up the broken pieces. I appreciate any advice you might have. Dad-to-Be Again Dear Dad-to-Be Again: You have a lot going on, man. You have a young child, a pregnant wife and the pain of a lost pregnancy. It’s hard to connect when there is so much uncertainty and trauma. When my wife was pregnant for the third time, it was a totally different experience. Each pregnancy was unique. The first pregnancy stopped our world. Every day was about my wife’s health and baby on the way. The second pregnancy was about managing a newborn and the excitement of doing it all again. The focus wasn’t solely on the baby on the way. The third pregnancy was all about managing life with two kids and a pregnant wife. At times, I forgot she was pregnant. The pregnancy was just part of a chaotic life. I couldn’t connect with the pregnancy because I was too busy managing life. I was excited, but it took a while to form that bond. Everything you’re feeling is normal. Be patient, and trust that you will form a tight bond with your child once he or she is born. Once the child is here, it will be safer to get close to him or her and start a relationship. Until then, be grateful for the child you have and the pregnancy. You are blessed. ✭✭✭ Dear Harlan: Our teenage son, who is a junior in high school, doesn’t talk to us at all. His grades are good, he has friends and I think he’s happy. He rolls his eyes at us. Is there anything we can do to connect with him? Parent of Teen Dear Parent of Teen: You have two more years on your kid-rental program. Then he’s off to the next part of his life. Don’t let endless eye rolls push you away. It’s his job. Even if he’s not responding, he’s listening (assuming no headphones are jammed in his ears). The most important thing you can do is have family dinners. There is research that points to family dinners lowering high-risk teenage behaviours (drinking, drug use, violence, etc.) Sit together as a family. Make it a habit. In addition,

plan events together. Whether it’s a weekend sporting event or winter vacation, do things as a family. If there are two parents involved, let whichever parent has a connection check in with him. If neither parent can connect, ask him who he can talk to if he has a problem or question. Offer a therapist or counsellor or spiritual leader. Make sure he has people in his corner. Check his social networks (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Tumblr). Host events at your house (see how he interacts with friends). Make your house a place to hang out (so you can see him with friends). Just make sure he knows you are ALWAYS in his corner — even if he rolls his eyes at family dinner, events and vacations. ✭✭✭ Dear Harlan: I have several problems with my high school teacher. She doesn’t think I’m writing my essays or doing my own work because it’s too mature. But I truly do it all. She is mad at me, and I don’t know how to react. I tried to explain everything to her, but she doesn’t believe me. What should I do? Too Mature Dear Too Mature: You’re creative, articulate and mature beyond your years, right? Your teacher is skeptical, jaded and unsure you’re doing your own work. The mature response is to give her permission to be flawed. While you shouldn’t have to prove yourself, you can if she is unsure. Tell her that you would love to go above and beyond and prove your work. Again, I know you shouldn’t have to do anything, but the offer alone makes you appear to be incredibly mature. The most mature way to handle unreasonable people is to give them permission to be unreasonable. This includes all the other issues you have with your professor. Then, do your best to accommodate or tolerate her. If your teacher can’t be accommodated, then just tolerate her. Next year you will have a new teacher and this will be a problem of the past. ✭✭✭ Hi Harlan: I’m at my top-choice college and was so excited to come here, but it hasn’t been anything like I expected. My family has told me that I talk about it like I’m on death row. I don’t hate it here or feel depressed in any way, but I feel so unsatisfied. I have been feeling a lot of regrets lately because I didn’t apply to this one school I really liked because my brother went there and I didn’t want to follow him. But ever since I came to this school, I just keeping thinking about that school and that I wish I had applied. So, I guess what I’m asking is, how do I know if transferring is right for me? I honestly feel that it’s what I want, but I’m worried I’ll go somewhere else and it’ll be worse, harder to start over and I’ll wish that I just settled with the first school I chose. Unsatisfied

Dear Unsatisfied: Substitute the word “college” with “relationship,” and I’d give you the same advice. This isn’t about the school, it’s about YOU. What do you want? That’s the only question to answer before transferring. What do YOU want to get out of your college experience? What are YOU doing at your current school to create the life you want to experience? Where are YOU putting yourself on campus to meet new people and have new experiences? How long will YOU give yourself to create a new life on campus? What’s YOUR plan? A plan will consist of how YOU will create a life on campus. Give it a year. In the meantime, apply to other schools, but also apply yourself on campus. Commit to

creating the BEST life at your current school. Find your three places. Find your five people. Be patient. Give it a good year. Eight weeks isn’t enough. That’s two sessions of summer camp. Once you get through the entire year, you’ll know what you want and where you can get it. If you can get it at your current school, don’t leave. If you need to get it somewhere else, then transfer. Until you decide what you want, you won’t get it anywhere. ✭✭✭ Write Harlan at harlan(at) helpmeharlan.com or visit online: www. helpmeharlan.com. All letters submitted become property of the author.

vangelist Franklin Graham said that prayer — and God’s answer to it — helped Donald Trump and Mike Pence pull off “the biggest political upset of our lifetime.” Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, did not formally endorse Trump, but he has shown his support for the nation’s 45th president. “Did God show up?,” Graham wrote on Facebook. “In watching the news after the election, the secular media kept asking ‘How did this happen?’ ‘What went wrong?’ ‘How did we miss this?’ Some are in shock. Political pundits are stunned. Many thought the Trump/Pence ticket didn’t have a chance. None of them understand the God-factor.” As The Washington Post’s Sarah Pulliam Bailey reported: “Exit polls show white evangelical voters voted in high numbers for Donald Trump, 81-16 percent, according to exit poll results. That’s the most they have voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 2004, when they overwhelmingly chose President George W. Bush by a margin of 78-21 percent. Their support for Trump will likely be seen as part of the reason the GOP candidate performed unexpectedly well in Tuesday’s election, according to Five Thirty Eight.” Evangelical leaders from the religious right — including Pat Robertson, Tony Perkins and Ralph Reed — stood by Trump during a heated election season. By Wednesday morning, Christian leaders across the United States also extended congratulations and prayers to the president-elect. Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, showed support for Trump and his plans to “make America great again.” Graham also congratulated the president-elect and vice-president-elect on their win. “One thing is for sure, we need to pray for our new president, vice-president, and our other leaders every day — whether we agree with them or not,” he wrote Wednesday on Facebook. “They need God’s help and direction. It is my prayer that we will trying be ‘one nation under God.’” He reiterated that statement again Thursday, when he wrote about how Christians across the country had united in prayer for their next leader. “Hundreds of thousands of Christians from across the United States have been praying,” he wrote. “This year they came out to every state capitol to pray for this election and for the future of America. Prayer groups were started. Families prayed. Churches prayed. Then Christians went to the polls, and God showed up. While the media scratches their heads and tries to understand how this happened, I believe that God’s hand intervened Tuesday night to stop the godless, atheistic progressive agenda from taking control of our country. “President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice-President-elect Mike Pence are going to need a lot of help and they will continue to need a lot of prayer. I pray that President-elect Trump will surround himself with godly men and women to help advise and counsel him as he leads the nation. My prayer is that God bless America again!”

KEYSTONE XL

Senate Republican leader says he asked Trump to back pipeline BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

File photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

A yard in Gascoyne, N.D., which has hundreds of kilometres of pipes stacked inside it that are supposed to go into the Keystone XL pipeline, is shown. TransCanada says it remains fully committed to building the controversial Keystone XL pipeline that U.S. President Barack Obama rejected last year. jobs, it would create. TransCanada did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday. But on Wednesday it said it’s evaluating how to engage with the Trump administration on Keystone XL’s benefits and remains fully committed to the project. The 1,900-kilometre pipeline would carry about 800,000 barrels a day of crude from Alberta and North Dakota to Nebraska, where existing pipelines would bring the oil to Gulf Coast refineries. Since Trump won the presidential election on Tuesday, some including

interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose have urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to push for Keystone’s speedy approval. Trudeau has backed the project in the past. During the U.S. presidential campaign, Trump said he supports the project “100 per cent,” but that he’d look to negotiate a greater benefit from it before approval. After Obama rejected Keystone last year, TransCanada filed for NAFTA arbitration seeking $15 billion in damages, claiming the decision was arbitrary and politically driven.

OUISVILLE, Ky. — The top Republican in the U.S. Senate says he asked president-elect Donald Trump to move swiftly in approving construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline that would allow Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. to ship bitumen from Alberta’s oilsands to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Friday that he made the request during his Capitol Hill meeting with Trump a day earlier. “That’s the kind of thing that I hope he’ll be looking at, and we’re helping him look at,” McConnell said. He said there are things Trump can do quickly on his own “because much of what President Obama did that slowed our economy he did on his own, either executive orders or regulations.” President Barack Obama vetoed legislation that would have moved ahead with construction of the US$8 billion pipeline, but the prospect of an all-Republican U.S. government next year boosts the chances for Keystone XL. Project supporters, including unions and lawmakers from both parties, tout the jobs it would create and demand its approval, while environmentalists urged the president to reject it, saying it would carry dirty, carbon-intensive oil. McConnell used the widely disputed figure of 20,000 jobs to be created immediately from the pipeline, while earlier this week TransCanada (TSX:TRP) touted the 9,000 construction jobs, plus tens of thousands of spinoff

for at least a year in its third quarter fell by 3.6 per cent, after adjusting for currency fluctuation, and by four per cent when including the impact of foreign exchange. The retail chain says its previous outlook assumed an improvement on comparable sales during the second half of its 2016 financial year but, given that hasn’t happened, HBC is lowering its key financial estimates.

HBC trimmed its estimate for 2016 annual sales to between $14.5 billion and $14.9 billion from its previous outlook issued in September of $14.9 billion to $15.9 billion. CEO Jerry Storch says the company will continue to invest in its operations, such as its recent $60 million in upgrades at its Toronto distribution centre to speed up delivery of products.

ORONTO — SoulCycle, the pricey American exercise chain with a cult-like following, will open its first international location in Toronto this March — with plans to expand to multiple locations in the city and across Canada. But industry insiders say it may face a more challenging ride north of the border, where some boutique spin studios operate at about half the cost of what SoulCycle typically charges. New York-based SoulCycle opened its first studio in 2006 and has since grown to 67 locations in the U.S., with four more set to open this winter. It’s en route to expand to at least 250 studios in the country at a rate of 10 to 15 per year, according to a preliminary prospectus the company filed in the summer of 2015 for an initial public offering that has yet to happen. Andrew Alvarez of market research firm IBISWorld believes Canada’s boutique fitness market is not yet so saturated that it presents insurmountable barriers to entry — but competition is likely. Part of SoulCycle’s future success or failure in Canada will boil down to cost, he says, noting that many traditional gyms are struggling with consumer aversion to price. SoulCycle’s pricing varies somewhat through the U.S., but riders in New York City, for example, pay US$34 for a single class, with no option for monthly unlimited class rates. Cyclists also need clip-in shoes, which SoulCycle rents for $3 a class or sells for $150 a pair. By way of comparison, Julie Mitchell, the owner of Torq, an indoor cycling studio that opened in Toronto’s east end last May, charges her clients C$18 per spin class. Still, she believes some Torontonians, especially those who have tried out a SoulCycle class before, will shell out the extra bucks for a ride there. Mitchell herself has attended classes at several SoulCycle studios and says it’s done a remarkable job creating a unique experience while building a strong following. The company says its classes combine a full-body, rhythm-based workout—what SoulCycle calls a curated cardio-dance party—with a mind/ body component designed to inspire riders emotionally.

ENVIRONMENT

Trump takes aim at Obama initiatives BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AINESVILLE, Fla. — President-elect Donald Trump has not minced words about his approach to environment and energy policy: He loathes regulation and wants to increase the use of coal, offshore drilling and fracking. Trump has said he believes climate change is a hoax and that he would “cancel” U.S. involvement in the landmark Paris Agreement on global warming. While he has been vague about precise policies, Trump’s election likely means trouble for some of President Barack Obama’s signature environmental initiatives, environmentalists and policy analysts say. They say it’s probable that Trump’s administration will seek to weaken or kill the Clean Power Plan, a cornerstone Obama policy meant to reduce carbon pollution from the nation’s power plants as part of an effort to combat climate change. The Clean Power Plan is being challenged in federal court, and if it survives, Trump could move to scuttle it. But not without a fight. “We don’t consider the CPP dead. We have many tools to help preserve it,” said David Goldston, director of government affairs for the Natural Resources Defence Council. “He can’t just snap his fingers and wish away regulations. There’d be a backlash, which would make Congress think twice.” Any move to back out of the Clean Power Plan or the Paris Agreement could be extremely unpopular moves, environmentalists argue. Polls have shown a majority of voters in at least two states believe global warming is a serious problem. An exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and television networks found that about half of Trump voters in Florida, a state he carried, agreed that climate change was a serious problem. In Maine, just over half of Trump supporters also agreed, while about four in 10 disagreed. Trump also has vowed to tap into America’s coal reserves in an effort to put the shrinking energy sector back to work. In a speech in the Bakken shale fields of North Dakota, he also said he would increase hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in the nation’s shale and natural gas reserves to further remove any dependence on foreign energy sources.

Workers move a section of well casing into place at a Chesapeake Energy natural gas well site near Burlington, Pa., in Bradford County. President-elect Donald Trump has not minced words about his approach to environment and energy policy: he loathes regulation, and wants to increase the use of coal, offshore drilling and fracking. Industry advocates are buoyed by the possibilities presented by Trump’s win. “We look forward to working with the new administration” on issues such as opening more public land and offshore areas to oil and gas drilling, building more energy infrastructure and reducing environmental regulations, American Petroleum Institute President Jack Gerard said Thursday. He would not say whether he supported a U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement. Likewise, the coal industry believes Trump

“understands the urgent need to rein in the Washington bureaucracy and sweeping, excessive regulations” to protect coal jobs in an industry where sharply falling demand for coal has led to permanent plant closures, the American Coal Council said. “The coal sector has been devastated by lower demand and job loss in recent years due to the mounting impact of regulations pointed squarely at our industry,” American Coal Council CEO Betsy Monseu said.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Trump win sparks fears aid will fizzle BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARRAKECH, Morocco — The election of Donald Trump as U.S. president could jeopardize a $100 billion plan launched by his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton seven years ago to help poor countries to cope with climate change, delegates at UN talks said Friday. Trump vowed during his campaign to withdraw U.S. tax dollars from UN global warming programs designed to help vulnerable countries shift to cleaner energy and adapt to rising seas and other impacts of climate change.

The immediate worry for delegates at UN climate talks in Morocco was what Trump’s election means for the Obama administration’s pledge of $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund, a key UN climate fund. Only $500 million of that pledge has been disbursed so far. “That could be worrisome, as that money was never approved through the U.S. Congress and we now have a president who is unwilling to put that type of money out there,” said Tosi Mpanu Mpanu, the chief negotiator for Congo and chairman of a group of least developed countries. The Green Climate Fund pledges are part of a wider effort by rich countries to mobilize $100

billion annually for poor countries, announced by Clinton in 2009 when she was U.S. secretary of state. The plan calls for scaling up financing to that level by 2020. So far rich countries say they’re about two-thirds there, though many developing countries challenge that assessment. Climate activists are calling on rich countries to raise their contributions, fearing that withdrawing U.S. funds could have a domino effect. “The U.S. is supposed to be the leader in raising this $100 billion,” said Lidy Nacpil of the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice. “So if the U.S. is not going to give, why will the other countries give?”

WHL

Rebels first gear lacking against the Wheat Kings BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Wheat Kings 5 Rebels 2 BRANDON — Slow starts continue to haunt the Red Deer Rebels. The Rebels found themselves behind the Brandon Wheat Kings 2-0 after only two shots on goal and played catch up the rest of the way in dropping a 5-2 Western Hockey League contest before 5,024 fans Friday afternoon. Tyler Coulter opened the scoring against Red Deer starting netminder Riley Lamb on Brandon’s first shot at 4:45 of the first period. On their second shot Kale Clague made it 2-0 at 6:44 and that was the end of the night for Lamb, who was replaced by Lasse Petersen. Dawson Martin gave the Rebels some life, scoring a power play marker at 8:39, but the Wheat Kings came right back when Ty Lewis beat Petersen, also on the power play, at 10:40. It was also the first shot Petersen faced. “They get three goals and on three shots and three stoppable shots,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter. “We only give up three shots in 11 minutes, and yet we’re down 3-1 then you’re fighting it the rest of the way. “It’s been hurting us of late. Three of the last six games we’re got ourselves in trouble early.” Still Sutter felt the team showed flashes.

“There were a lot of good things, but we’re giving up untimely goals, especially early,” he added. The Rebels have been struggling since they had a six-game win streak snapped. In fact they have lost five of their last six games. “We were playing so well but since some individuals have saw their game fall off a bit and the starting goaltenders are two of them. They’re just fighting it right now.”

Michael Spacek once again gave the Rebels life as he made it 3-2 on the power play at 7:27 of the second period with his 11th goal of the season. The Rebels had their chances in the first two periods, outshooting the Wheaties 15-7 in the first period and 11-7 in the second. “We played well the first two periods,” said Sutter. “We made some mistakes with some odd-man rushes, which we can’t do, but overall I was happy with our defence.” However, the third period belonged to Brandon, who held a 12-8 edge in shots and got goals from Lewis 58 seconds into the frame and Stelio Matteos with a power play goal at 13:10. The Rebels finished with 34 shots on Jordan Papirny. “We need a little more from some of our forwards,” Sutter said. “Two of our three centers have two goals between them, although today I thought Jeff de Wit played his best game all year, so maybe things are turning his way.” Petersen finished with 21 saves for the Rebels, who don’t have time to worry about the loss. They travel to Moose Jaw today and Regina Sunday. They visit Swift Current Tuesday before heading home for a Friday meeting with Medicine Hat. The Rebels were two-for-five with the extra man but allowed two goals on four shorthanded situations.

RDC VOLLEYBALL

Kings, Queens corral Olds Broncos BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Queens 3 Broncos 0 RDC Queens volleyball head coach Chris Wandler had Friday, Nov. 11, marked on his calender for some time now. It was the first meeting between the Queens and the Olds Broncos, who Wandler coached for the past five seasons. “It’s a bit tough as you develop relationships … there were a few people I’ve spent some time with over there,” he said. “But you want to compete against them, and you also realize they have a bit of excitement as well. “But it’s done. You try to treat it as another game, but I did have the calender marked since June.” Wandler got the upper hand on his former team, recording a 25-22, 25-17, 25-23 victory at RDC. The Queens started a bit slow in both the first two sets, but were able to pull their game together when it mattered. “We were focused when we needed to be … we did a good job when we were behind,” said Wandler. “We need to find that level between being relaxed and focused, not relaxed and out of it. We still need to find that ideal state of mind to be playing in.” What the Queens did do was spread their offence around with five players recording at least four kills. Miranda Dawe led the way with 15 kills and eight digs. Megan Schmidt had seven kills, two

aces and two blocks, while Jessica Jones added five kills and three aces. Brittany Davis chipped in with five kills and nine digs and Hanna Delemont had four kills. Chantelle Kayser had 26 assists and four aces before Ashley Fehr came in the third set and finished with six assists. The Queens finished with 10 aces and seven service errors. “I thought our serving was more on aim than in Briercrest,” Wandler said. “It wasn’t good there at all. We weren’t striking the ball well. Tonight we served with more confidence and we gave ourselves a chance to play for the point. “We also talk about keeping constant pressure on the opponent and you can’t do that by missing serves.” The Queens also did a better job of blocking as the match wore on. “Right now we’re not a great blocking team, we’re losing track of the attacker. We should be taking dead aim and should be on her. We’re ball watching too much, but as the match wore on we did a better job with the angle and timing,” Janelle Neyron led the Broncos with nine kills and six digs while Delaney Pysar added five kills and 10 digs. Setter Jamie Craig had 24 assists. Kings 3 Broncos 0 The Broncos have only two players with any college experience and it shows in the standings. They came into Red Deer with a 0-6 record and have yet to win a set. They didn’t have any better luck Friday as the Kings used their bench to record a 25-8, 25-12,

25-15 victory. “We made a few too many errors late in that last set, but in the grand scheme of things these are tough matches to play,” said Kings head coach Aaron Schulha. “I thought we did a good job of keeping our energy and Ryan (setter Beatson) did a good job of doing that and making sure the other guys didn’t get complacent.” The only backup who didn’t see action was power hitter Ben Holmes, who will start tonight in Olds. “He knew that. We wanted to get everyone in tonight and tomorrow who doesn’t receive significant time,” explained Schulha. “It’s important plus they deserve it. They do a good job at practice and being ready. This will help down the road if we need them to come in.” The Kings finished with 16 service aces with nine errors. “We still missed a few too many at times,” said Schulha. “I didn’t think we served the heck out of the ball. It was OK, we just let them off the hook at times.” Beatson was named the RDC player of the match with 27 assists, two aces, four digs and a kill. Parker Biletsky had eight kills, five aces and four digs, Scott Irvine six kills, two aces and five digs, Matt Lofgren five kills, four aces and three digs in two sets, and Ben Hankins five kills in a little over a set. Waylon Auger had eight kills for Olds.

Patrick Eaves’s two-point night leads Stars past Oilers NOT A GREAT NIGHT FOR EDMONTON AS DALLAS SCORED ON THE FIRST SHOT OF THE GAME BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Stars 3 Oilers 2 DMONTON — Patrick Eaves had a goal and an assist and Kari Lehtonen made 40 saves as the Dallas Stars won their second game in as many nights, coming away with a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. Lauri Korpikoski and Antoine Roussel also scored for the Stars (6-6-3) who had lost six of seven before turning things around in Alberta with wins over the Calgary Flames and Edmonton. Patrick Maroon and Tyler Pitlick replied for the Oilers (9-5-1) who have lost two in a row. It was not a great start for Edmonton, as Dallas scored on the first shot of the game, just 28 seconds

in. Jamie Benn fed it into the slot to former Oiler Korpikoski, who blasted a shot past Edmonton starter Cam Talbot. Jordan Eberle put the Oilers back on the offence just three minutes later, fishing a puck out of a scramble in front of the net and putting a shot on Dallas goalie Kari Lehtonen, with Maroon sweeping in to score his sixth of the season. Eaves scored on a long point shot to make it 2-1 for Dallas five minutes into the first period. Edmonton tied the game up again with 29 seconds left to play in the opening frame, as Pitlick got the puck behind the net and swooped out front before calmly lifting a backhand past Lehtonen. The Stars made it 3-2 with five minutes remaining in the second period when Tyler Seguin sent Roussel in on a partial breakaway and he made the

most of it, beating Talbot. Edmonton had some solid chances in the dying minutes, but Lehtonen stood tall to preserve the win. Both teams return to action on Sunday with the Oilers playing host to the New York Rangers and the Stars wrapping up a five-game road trip in Vancouver against the Canucks. Notes — The Stars have been forced to get by without six of their top forwards, with Cody Eakin, Patrick Sharp, Ales Hemsky, Jiri Hudler, Jason Spezza and Mattias Janmark all absent from the lineup… Coming into the game, the Stars had gone 17-3-4 against the Oilers over the past seven seasons… It was the first of three meetings between the two teams this season, the next one taking place Nov. 19 in Dallas.

HOCKEY

Eric Lindros finally makes it into the Hall of Fame BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORONTO (AP) — Eric Lindros had just received his Hockey Hall of Fame ring and was feeling particularly buoyant. “Check it out!” he said, raising his left hand and shiny new ring to show to the television camera. “Check it out!” Lindros’ long Hall of Fame wait is over. Passed over six times for entry into the shrine, the now 43-year-old will finally get his plaque, honored along with Rogie Vachon, Sergei Makarov and the late Pat Quinn. “It’s just an honour,” Lindros said Friday. “Look at the names on the plaques. Just being in here. Jeez, it’s the cream of the crop. It’s a real honor to be part of this.” Living in the Toronto area with his wife and three kids, Lindros said he’d driven by the Hall numerous times and visited occasionally for charity events. But he’d yet to take a serious walk through the place. He will now, and what he’ll see is his face right there among the greats. For years after his career ended in 2007, the argument against Lindros entering the Hall was two-fold. For one, he played only 760 regular- season games in a career cut short from concussions. He also failed to win a Stanley Cup, swept in the 1997 final by the Detroit Red Wings while still a member of the Philadelphia Flyers. When healthy he was a truly dominant force, a rare combination of size, skill, and power. He was the kind of player the game had never seen and probably hasn’t since. Lindros finished with 372 goals and 865 points, tucked inside the top 20 in points per-game (1.14). He also was a six-time All-Star and won the Hart Trophy as league MVP

Johansson, Capitals cool off Blackhawks Capitals 3 Blackhawks 2 CHICAGO — Marcus Johansson scored at 2:20 of overtime, Braden Holtby made 32 saves and the Washington Capitals snapped Chicago’s seven-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory over the Blackhawks on Friday night. Jay Beagle scored two goals, giving him three on the season, and the Capitals won for the sixth time in seven games in the opener of a threegame trip.

as a 22-year-old in 1995 after posting 29 goals and 70 points in 46 games. Lindros was the No. 1 overall pick of the Quebec Nordiques in 1991, but refused to play there. He was eventually dealt to the Flyers in a swap that included another future Hall of Famer, Peter Forsberg. Lindros said he was well aware of the Hall of Fame’s annual summer selection date for inductees, each year passing by without entry. Earlier this past summer he heard from a former New York Rangers staffer who wondered whether he’d heard anything yet from the Hall about the class of 2016. “No,” Lindros replied. He did get the call from Hall chairman Lanny McDonald a short while later while driving north on Highway 11 in Ontario with his family. “It truly is an honor,” he said. It also took a while for Vachon, Makarov and Quinn to take their places in the Hall. A three-time Cup-winning goalie with the Montreal Canadiens who later starred for Los Angeles, Vachon last played in the NHL in 1982. Makarov’s last NHL game came with the San Jose Sharks in 1997. He enjoyed his best years in Russia, leading the Soviet league in scoring for nine seasons. Quinn, who died two years ago, last coached in the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers in 2010, one of his five stints as an NHL head coach. Perhaps his most notable hockey achievement came outside the league, guiding Canada’s men’s hockey team in 2002 to their first Olympic gold medal in 50 years. When McDonald called Vachon to tell him was finally in this past summer, Vachon replied: “I’m in what?” “It doesn’t get any better than this,” Vachon said Friday. The long wait was over for all. “Take whatever path you want,” Lindros said. “We’re here forever. All of us.” Washington defenceman Dmitry Orlov made a nice pass to Johansson for the one-timer that beat Corey Crawford on the glove side. It was Johansson’s seventh goal of the season. Marian Hossa had a goal and an assist for Chicago, which extended its point streak to 10 games. Defenceman Brian Campbell also scored, and Crawford finished with 24 stops. The Blackhawks played without centre Artem Anisimov, who was scratched after he left Wednesday night’s 2-1 overtime win at St. Louis with an upper-body injury. Anisimov, who has eight goals and nine assists in 14 games, could return as soon as Sunday against Montreal.

CFL EAST SEMIFINAL

Eskimos must become road warriors to repeat as champs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

he Edmonton Eskimos will have become road warriors to successfully defend their Grey Cup title. Edmonton (10-8) begins its title defence Sunday afternoon visiting the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East Division semifinal. The Eskimos earned CFL crossover by compiling a better record than the third-place Montreal Alouettes (7-11). Hamilton also had a 7-11 record but cemented second — and home field for the East semifinal — by winning the season series with Montreal. A win Sunday will earn Edmonton a trip to Ottawa on Nov. 20 to face the Redblacks in the East Division final. The winner will advance to the Grey Cup game Nov. 27 at BMO Field in Toronto. “There’s no easy path to the Grey Cup but I think we’ve got a pretty damn good team so I like our chances,” quarterback Mike Reilly said this week. “We’re going to have a challenge, there’s no question about it. “But (last two years) we’ve been pretty good on the road so again, I like our chances. I think we’ve got a lot of momentum going into the playoffs.” Edmonton comes in having won five of its last six games. Hamilton has dropped two straight and its last four home contests to stand 3-6 overall at Tim Hortons Field this season. Hamilton is also 2-8 versus West Division teams. Edmonton was 5-4 on the road and 5-3 against East rivals. This will mark the first-ever division playoff meeting between the two clubs although they’ve split their two Grey Cup appearances. 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 but lost 42-26 to Toronto in 2012. Eight times West Division teams have crossed over to the East, but not one has ever reached the Grey Cup. Edmonton and Hamilton split the season series 1-1. Backup quarterback Jeremiah Masoli had a CFL-record 23 straight completions in rallying Hamilton from a 25-point deficit to a 37-31 road win July 23. On Oct. 28, John White’s 132-yard rushing performance anchored Edmonton’s 29-26 victory at Tim Hortons Field. “I think they’re dangerous,” said Edmonton coach Jason Maas. “They’re coached well and they’ll have some healthy players back. “I know they’ve been decimated by injuries throughout the entire year so the consistency with their lineup hasn’t been what they probably want, but they’re not very far removed from being a Grey Cup contender and being in the Grey Cup. They’re not going to be an easy out, we understand that but our job is to go there and beat them.” Veteran safety Courtney Stephen is expected back in Hamilton’s lineup Sunday but veteran receivers Andy Fantuz (101 catches, 1,059 yards, five TDs), Luke Tasker (76 catches, 852 yards, five TDs) and Chad Owens (58 catches, 808 yards, five TDs) remain on the injured list. Ticats head coach Kent Austin is thankful for Stephen’s anticipated return. “He’s got great range back there, he gets guys lined up, he makes plays,” Austin said. “We’re glad to have him back.” Fortunately for Austin and the Ticats, they’re preparing for a familiar foe. “I think where it helps you is you have a more immediate familiarity with personnel,” Austin

The teams meet in the West Division semifinal today in Hamilton. said. “Obviously there’s going to be changes to what they do schematically and the same with us but you do have a better understanding of the personnel because you’ve seen them recently.” Edmonton’s aerial game will present Hamilton with challenges. Reilly threw for a CFL-high 5,554 yards with 28 TDs while Adarius Bowman (120 catches, 1,761, nine TDs) and Derel Walker (109 receptions, 1,589 yards, 10 TDs) were 1-2 in receiving. But Edmonton’s offence also boasts the CFL’s second-ranked ground game (103.7 yards per game). “We understand when you’re running attack can be effective it makes everything easier,” Reilly said. “The fact we’ve been able to be pretty

balanced for almost two months now, it takes the stress off the pass game and it also puts a stress on the defence.” The Ticats counter with a versatile running back in C.J. Gable but averaged a CFL-low 66.9 yards rushing per game. But starting quarterback Zach Collaros offers a simple solution to reverse Hamilton’s home woes. “Just execution, making a few more plays,” he said. “In every game you lose there’s five, six, seven plays that are kind of turning points or plays that could go either way … but we just need to execute, by physical and we’re confident things will go our way.”

CFL WEST SEMIFINAL

Turnover battle crucial to win as Lions host Blue Bombers

ANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions looked like they were cruising to victory. Up by 10 on the visiting Blue Bombers with under seven minutes to go in a game last month, all the Lions needed to do was take care of the football. But as was the case all night, and really most nights for teams facing Winnipeg’s opportunistic defence, the task proved difficult. B.C. threw an interception and then fumbled on a kick return in the dying moments for the club’s eye-popping fifth and sixth turnovers in what would turn into a stunning threepoint defeat.

‘IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE GAME SIMPLE, YEAH, IF WE KEEP THE BALL IN OUR HANDS WE WIN THE FOOTBALL GAME.’ — JEREMIAH JOHNSON, B.C. RUNNING BACK

When the clubs renew acquaintances in Sunday’s West Division semifinal on the same field, the Lions’ key to victory seems straight forward. “If you look at how Winnipeg did all year, they won games off turnovers,” said B.C. running back Jeremiah Johnson, whose team finished 12-6 during the regular season. “If you want to keep the game simple, yeah, if we keep the ball in our hands we win the football game. “Obviously it’s going to come down to more than that.” But probably not much more. The Bombers (11-7) feasted on mistakes in 2016, finishing a CFL-best plus-29 in the turnover ratio, bettering the Calgary Stampeders, who compiled a dominating 15-2-1 record and will host next weekend’s West final, by 10 in that category. “That’s how they’ve been living and dying,” said Lions defensive back Ryan Phillips. “They capitalize on opportunities, and that’s something we can’t give them.” Winnipeg led the league in interceptions with 30 — Hamilton was next with 17 — and defensive touchdowns (five) to go along with 19 fumble recoveries and 10 turnovers on downs, often giving the Bombers’ offence a short field. “The biggest thing is we have a lot of good athletes,” Winnipeg safety Taylor Loffler said on a conference call this week. “The fact that we fly around to the ball, it just gives us opportunities to get those takeaways.” BC Lions QB Jonathon Jennings threw for 5,226 yards and 27 touchdowns this year, but Winnipeg’s ravenous secondary gave him some major headaches, with five of his 17 interceptions coming against the Bombers. “They did a good job of reading my eyes,” said the second-year pivot.

“That’s going to be the biggest thing — making sure I’m not telling them where I’m going with the ball.” Winnipeg swept the season series with B.C. thanks to back-to-back wins in October and was on course to host Sunday’s matchup until a loss to Ottawa two weeks ago opened the door for the Lions, who finished on a threegame winning streak to clinch home field this weekend. The Bombers are back in the post-season for the first time since 2011 when they lost to the Lions in the Grey Cup at B.C. Place Stadium. Neither team has won a playoff game since, and Winnipeg started this season 1-4 before ripping off seven straight victories to rekindle hope for a franchise that hasn’t won a title since 1990. The turnaround coincided with Matt Nichols taking over at quarterback for the Bombers to lead a balanced attack that found its groove once the club’s new faces started to mesh on both sides of the ball. “They’ve created an identity,” said Lions head coach and general manager Wally Buono. “Those guys have created an identity and they play to it.” B.C. led the league in rushing, and Emmanuel Arceneaux and Bryan Burnham finished third and fourth in receiving yards in the CFL, with the former leading the league with 13 TDs. Winnipeg, meanwhile, had just one player in the top-15 in receiving — Weston Dressler — but has continued to find ways to win. “They’re a very good team because they’re very scrappy,” said Lions linebacker Solomon Elimimian, who led the CFL with 130 tackles. “They play solid defence, they have some playmakers on offence, and they’re a tough team on special teams.” Running back Andrew Harris signed with his hometown Bombers this winter after six seasons in B.C., racking up 1,605 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns over 15 games, including 266 yards and a TD in those two contests against his former team. “It would be nice to walk away with a win from B.C. Place, but I would be just as excited if it was anywhere else,” said Harris. “From a personal side there’s a little more excitement, but at the end of the day it’s just about winning this football game.” Notes: Winnipeg kicker Justin Medlock hit a CFL-record 60 field goals this season and was perfect on converts. … B.C. brought Paul McCallum out of retirement prior to last weekend’s season finale after Richie Leone’s issues in the kicking game reached a breaking point. McCallum, 46, was 4 for 4 on field goals and connected on two converts in his first action since October 2015. … Medlock is the West’s nominee for special teams player of the year, while Elimimian is the division’s representative for the league’s top defensive player.

Ehlers scores into his own net in OT as Avs win Avalanche 3 Jets 2 (OT) ENVER — Rene Bourque had two goals, including the winner in overtime when Nikolaj Ehlers scored into his own net, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Friday night. Bourque was credited with the goal when Ehlers, fighting for the puck along the side boards, backhanded the puck through the legs of teammate Toby Enstrom and past goaltender Michael Hutchinson 1:23 into overtime. Mikko Rantanen scored his first career goal and Semyon Varlamov had 16 saves for the Avalanche. Blake Wheeler had a goal and an assist, Mark Scheifele also scored and Ehlers had two assists. Hutchinson finished with 26 saves two weeks after blanking Colorado here. Varlamov didn’t face many shots but came up with a big save in overtime when he stopped Wheeler on a breakaway. Rantanen, who played in nine games last season and started this year in the AHL, got his first goal 1:03 into the second period. He got the puck at the right circle, looked for a passing lane before putting one off Hutchinson’s shoulder and in just 15 seconds into Colorado’s power play. Bourque gave Colorado a 2-0 lead at 9:33 of the second, his third goal of the season. The Jets wiped out the lead with goals 2:33 apart. Wheeler got Winnipeg within with 6:33 left and Scheifele tied it with a power-play goal later in the period. Winnipeg defenceman Jacob Trouba made his season debut after signing a two-year deal with the team Monday. Trouba was a restricted free agent and held out to start the season. Trouba had two shots on goal in 23:14 of ice time.

Vikings no match for Kings in hockey BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Kings 4 Vikings 1 AMROSE — The RDC Kings continued their winning ways as they downed the University of Alberta, Augustana Vikings 4-1 in Alberta Colleges Men’s Hockey League play Friday. The Kings, 5-5-2-1, won their third straight game and moved into a tie with the Vikings, 6-4-1-0, for third place in the standings. The Vikings grabbed a 1-0 first period lead on a goal by Patrick Thompson-Gale at 3:23 with David Heath tying it with a power play marker at 10:22 of the second period. Austin Hunter gave the Kings the lead just 21 seconds into the third period then Ben Williams, who has been red hot of late, scored at 5:52 and 11:50. Troy Trombley has also been hot in goal and made 27 saves while the Kings had 27 shots on

Curtis Skip. The Kings were two-for-four on the power play and killed off all five shorthanded situations. The teams meet again tonight at 7 p.m. at the Penhold Regional Multiplex. Kings 104 Trojans 96 CALGARY — The SAIT Trojans are one of the teams RDC Kings head coach Clayton Pottinger was worried about this season. And while the season is far from over the Kings got the first blow in as they downed the Trojans 104-96 Friday. The win gave the Kings a 4-0 record while the Trojans sit at 2-1. The Kings dominated the game except for the fourth quarter when they were outscored 36-25. They led 25-20, 50-38 and 79-60 by quarters. Ian Tevis, who had only six points at the half, finished with 27 points, four steals, five assists and four rebounds. Shayne Stumpf had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Matt Matear 18 points and seven boards and Spencer Klassen 11 points. Ramo Adun

added 11 points off the bench. Dalton Spencer had 27 points for the Trojans, who took advantage of a string of turnovers by the Kings to make the game closer than it was. The Kings finished with 25 turnovers compared to 16 for SAIT. Trojans 67 Queens 62 The Queens, despite playing without starting forward Kiana Mintz, turned in a solid effort before the Trojans managed to pull away in the final minute. The teams were tied 61-61 before the Queens went cold from the floor and the line. They missed three of their final four free throws and a pair of inside field goals. The Queens trailed 38-28 at the half. They outscored the Trojans in the second half, including 19-12 in the third quarter. Emily White had 20 points, seven rebounds, five steals and two assists while Dedra Janvier had 12 points and four rebounds for RDC. The teams stayed in Calgary and face St. Mary’s University today.

scores 34, Raptors Cassidy brothers DeRozan come back to beat Hornets battle it out for steer wrestling title C BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DONALDA DUO BOTH TIP STEERS IN 3.7 SECONDS

ou could say it was ‘Bro’ time Friday night at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton. Brothers Cody and Curtis Cassidy are battling it out for a Canadian steer wrestling championDiane ship. The Donalda duo Finstad is so in tune they both managed to get their steers tipped over in 3.7 seconds, which meant they split first in the round and each picked up $10,744. It’s not the first time they’ve shared first at the CFR. “A couple of years ago, we were both 3.2 in a go-round,” recalled elder brother Curtis. “It was pretty cool to be that fast, but I’m not gonna lie, 3.7 feels good, too.” “I knew my steer left pretty good and never let off any,” said Cody. “That’s what he did, but I knew he threw good, so I knew I had a chance anyway.” “I really liked my steer,” added Curtis. “Brock (Butterfield) was 3.8 on him the other night. He’s just a good, honest, average steer, right down the middle. He’s as good as you make him. I wasn’t excited about my steer last night but tonight I was like ‘this is a good steer, I like him’.” Much as the two enjoy sharing brotherly love, they both want to add to their impressive Canadian buckle collection. “There’s always gonna be competition. There’s no rest for the wicked. You have to back in there with intentions you need to win every night. As soon as you slack off, everyone’s just going to pass you. There’s always going to be somebody hot on your heels, so you’ve got to bear down,” noted Cody, who laid claim to the go-round buckle, since he said Curtis had won one from the previous night. “I gave Cody too much of a lead coming in here so I need to try and win as much as I can every day,” laughed Curtis. Cody has $51,878 at the top of the steer wrestling standings, with Curtis now at $43,684 in second. Brothers also topped the team roping, with Brett and Justin McCarroll of Camrose setting a fast

pace as first team out, with their 4.0 second run. But Oregon’s Russell Cardoza and Dustin Bird of Cut Bank, MT managed to match that later in the round, so all four shared the honours. The win gave Cardoza and Bird the overall lead now for the team roping championship. The top dollars in the saddle bronc riding for the third performance in Edmonton went to Clay Elliott of Nanton, for a shiny 86.75 point ride on Stampede Warrior, pushing his CFR earnings to $21,489. He’s now taken over the lead, but Rocky’s Jim Berry finished second in the round to hang on to second place overall. Elliott has $49,196, while Berry’s season tally sits at $48,746. Manitoba’s Orin Larsen was the high man in the bareback riding with an 87.25 on Vold’s famous horse Mucho Dinero, for a $12,340 payout. Jake Vold placed third and he’s still on top in the race for his third straight title. Lee Rombough of Sexsmith was fastest among the tie-down ropers with his time of 8.0 seconds, putting him into third place now in the championship race led by Al Bouchard. Defending Canadian champion Nancy Csabay of Taber won the biggest cheque of the night in barrel racing with her 14.754 second run, but leader Callahan Crossley also placed, keeping her out in front. Bull rider Timothy Lipsett of Saskatchewan became the first cowboy to ride the bull Night Moves, and the 86 points gave him a buckle at his very first CFR, and a healthy $12,324 deposit in his rodeo account. Dakota Buttar is still the bull rider they’re all trying to catch at the top. Today’s action at the Northlands Coliseum includes two rodeo performances, with the Canadian champions to be determined after Sunday afternoon’s action.

Toronto 113 Charlotte 111 HARLOTTE, N.C. — DeMar DeRozan believes the Toronto Raptors’ recent playoff experience is starting to pay big dividends in close games. DeRozan continued his torrid pace, scoring 10 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter as the Raptors rallied from 10 points down to snap the Charlotte Hornets’ four-game winning streak with a 113-111 victory Friday night. The Raptors fell behind 91-81 with 9:30 left, but fought back to take the lead behind DeRozan’s shooting. “We’ve got a lot of playoff experience now and we know how hard it is to win and what it takes to win,” said DeRozan, whose Raptors lost last season in the Eastern Conference finals. “We thrive in moments like this — and that’s what it came down to.” DeRozan’s latest big night offset a huge performance from Charlotte guard Kemba Walker, who scored 40 points on 12-of-19 shooting, including 7 of 12 from 3-point range. Walker also had 10 rebounds and six assists. DeRozan came into the game averaging an NBA-high 34.1 points. He shot 14 of 26 from the field as the Raptors won for the fifth time in six games. DeRozan has scored at least 30 points in seven of Toronto’s eight games. “The problem is there is no (defensive) scheme for that,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford said of DeRozan. “He’s a mid-range, iso(lation), pull-up play-

er. … Those 1-on-1, top-of-key stuff, he’s really good at that and always has been. He’s on a roll right now and there’s just not much you can do.” With the game tied at 97, Nic Batum drove the lane and dished to Cody Zeller for a dunk. Marvin Williams followed with a 3 from the top of the arc to push Charlotte’s lead to five with 4 minutes remaining, revving up the crowd. But DeRozan came right back with two mid-range jumpers, and Lucas Nogueira’s tip-in gave the Raptors the lead for good. “He took the game over,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said about DeRozan. “We wanted to go to him. … We made it more of a 1-on-1 against the switch. And he executed. He hit some big-time buckets and converted. That’s what we’ve got to have out of him and Kyle (Lowry) in those important moments.” TIP-INS Raptors: Outscored the Hornets 50-32 in the paint. … Lowry added 19 points and eight rebounds despite foul trouble. … Cory Joseph had a season-best 12 points off the bench, leading all reserves in the game. Hornets: Made a season-high 15 3-pointers. … Walker has scored at least 20 points in seven straight games. … Treveon Graham got his first NBA start in place of Michael KiddGilchrist (back).

Paul Goydos hits out of a sand trap. ball very solid, gave myself opportunities and just didn’t make a whole lot of putts. … Not too far behind, right there to still challenge for the championship.” The top five in the standings — Richmond winner Scott McCarron is second, followed by Montgomerie, Joe Durant and Miguel Angel Jimenez — can take the season title with a victory Sunday. McCarron holed out from the fairway for eagle on the par-5 15th in a 69. Durant shot 70, and Jimenez had a 74. “I’m a scoreboard watcher and I know exactly what’s going on, especially with my German friend behind and Scott McCarron and Joe and also Miguel,” Montgomerie said. “It’s just great to get in after just one round ahead of these guys at least to give myself a chance.” Tom Pernice Jr., the winner of the playoff opener two weeks ago in California, also was at 67 along with Paul

Broadhurst and Duffy Waldorf. The season standings were reset after the event last week in Virginia, with Langer’s lead over McCarron reduced from 935,657 to 200. The tournament winner will receive $440,000 and 2,000 points. Langer is recovering from a left knee injury that forced him to withdraw from the playoff opener at Sherwood, The 59-year-old German has a tour-high four victories and has wrapped up the season money title with $2,836,459. He won season titles in 2010, 2014 and 2015. Goydos entered the week 24th in the standings. He birdied four of the last five holes in a front-nine 30, and bogeyed the par-4 10th. “I messed up 10 a little bit, made a bad swing and that’s going to happen,” Goydos said. “It’s hard to be perfect in tougher conditions.”

Sarah Jane Smith birdies four of first seven holes for two-stroke lead

EXICO CITY — Sarah Jane Smith shot a 4-under 68 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead in the Citibanamex Lorena Ochoa Invitational. The Australian birdied four of the first seven holes, dropped a stroke on the par-4 eighth and birdied the par-3 14th. Winless on the LPGA Tour, she had a 9-under 135 total at Club de Golf Mexico.

COTTSDALE, Ariz. — Paul Goydos shot an 8-under 62 on Friday in windy conditions to take a three-stroke lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship. The 52-year-old Goydos holed out from 167 yards for eagle on the par-4 12th and closed with birdies on the par-3 17th and par-5 18th on Desert Mountain Club’s Cochise Course. “It started off hard, it calmed down a little bit as the day progressed,” Goydos said. “In tough conditions we need to do good things. I made a bomb on the first hole for birdie, which kind of maybe relaxes you a little bit. I thought if I shot under par today, you’d have a good day. “You knew the first five or six holes were going to be difficult, and to get a birdie early kind of calms you down. Actually, there were two. I made about a 12-footer for par after a mediocre iron shot. If I don’t make that, I might shoot 70 today, but I made that putt and kept the momentum going. Colin Montgomerie, third in Charles Schwab Cup season standings, was second. The Scot birdied the final two holes. “I must say Paul Goydos’ score this morning, because it was windy this morning, I think that 8 under this morning was one of the best scores we’ve seen all year,” Montgomerie said. “Tremendous score. Even to get within three for me was a delight.” Points leader Bernhard Langer topped the group at 67. “I actually played very nicely,” Langer said. “I maybe hit two bad 5 irons, came out of it a little bit and that was it. One resulted in a bogey and the other one I three-putted for bogey. But the rest of the day I hit the

“I feel a little bit nervous to be honest. I have never been in this position before,” Smith said. “So, even a couple times today, I was a little nervous, but I was happy with the way that I handled it. Hopefully, I can just keep doing what I have been doing and see what happens.” Mexico’s Gaby Lopez had a 65 on her home course to match South Korea’s Mi Jung Hur (66) and Colombia’s Mariajo Uribe (67) at 7 under in the 30-player event. Lopez eagled the par-5 second hole, hitting

to 2 feet from 195 yards. “It is one of those numbers when you know you have the number perfect, is just a matter of the swing, adjusting your swing,” Lopez said. South Korea’s Chella Choi and France’s Karine Icher each shot their second straight 69 to get to 6 under. Spain’s Carlota Ciganda, tied for the lead with Smith after a firstround 67, had a 72 to drop into a tie for seventh with 2008 winner Angela Stanford (68), Austin Ernst (67) and Jing Yan (67).

LAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Gary Woodland birdied three of the final four holes Friday for a 6-under 65 and a one-stroke lead in the PGA Tour’s OHL Classic at Mayakoba. Woodland played the first 36 holes without a bogey, following an opening 64 to get to 13-under 129 on Mayakoba’s Greg Norman-designed El Camaleon course. He won the last of his two tour titles in 2013. “I haven’t been here since my rookie year, so it’s been since 2009,” Woodland said. “The golf course is in great shape. It sets up good for me. I can hit a lot of irons off the tees, lay back a little bit. The whole deal is to keep the ball in the fairway and then attack from there.” d.” Married last month, Woodland took last week off and worked with instructor Butch Harmon after opening the new season in Malaysia and China. “It was nice to have an off week last week,” Woodland said. “Went out and spent some time with Butch. After the wedding, kind of got a little rusty. Took some time off, but nice to get back in the swing of things. Very comfortable with where I’m at right now.” Webb Simpson was second after his second straight 65. “Today was a lot different from yesterday,” Simpson said. “Today was a bit of a struggle with some distance control. I had to chip a lot more today, so today was about scoring. I was able to score, made some putts when I needed to for par. Yesterday, I don’t remember missing any greens and today I missed quite a few, so very different day, but same score.” Scott Piercy had a 6 to reach 11 under. He tied for third in the season opener at Silverado. “Just kind of plodding along and trying to pick up birdies where I can and kind of keep the scorecard pretty clean,” Piercy said. “Felt pretty good. Just trying to pick up some marbles on the way and count them at the end of the week and see where we fall.” First-round leader Chris Kirk followed his opening 63 with a 70 to drop into a tie for fourth at 9 under with local favourite Abraham Ancer (68), Russell Knox (65), Charles Howell III (64), Ben Martin (64), John Huh (66) and Adam Hadwin (66). Marc Leishman eagled the par-5 seventh and followed with a hole-inone on the 134-yard, hitting a sand wedge for 134 yards. The Australian was 7 under after a 65. Jim Furyk missed the cut, shooting 74-70 in his first event of the new season.

Smith knocks in own rebound to help Senators beat Kings BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Ottawa 2 Los Angeles 1 TTAWA — Zack Smith’s old baseball skills helped the Ottawa Senators find some of their offensive spark again. Smith batted in his own rebound with just under four minutes left to play to tie it before Mark Stone scored with seven seconds to go as Ottawa rallied past the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Friday. The Senators have had difficulty scoring goals lately, with just four goals in their past four games. “I have to give a shout out to my old baseball team, the Maple Creek Mohawks,” said Smith. “My teammates could attest I wasn’t a very good hitter but I think I redeemed myself with that one.” Stone tracked down a loose puck in the crease and gave the Senators (9-5-0) the lead less than four minutes after Smith tied the game. “We stuck together for the full game, kept believing in our game plan and it paid off at the end,” said JeanGabriel Pageau, who had two assists. “We had a lot of chances, and you get a little frustrated, but you have to keep up with what you’re doing. If you’re getting chances it means you’re doing good things.” Jeff Zatkoff had a shutout going through the first two periods for the Kings (7-8-0), stopping all 18 shots the Senators sent his way, but he was replaced to start the third by Peter Budaj, who had a shutout streak of 140:57 snapped Thursday night in Montreal.

NHL

Rielly finds scoring touch against Flyers BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Toronto 6 Philadelphia 3 ORONTO — Morgan Rielly isn’t focused much on points these days, but on Friday night he showed off his scoring touch. Plugged into match-up duties since the start of last season for the Mike Babcock-led Toronto Maple Leafs, points and big-time offensive production have been pushed into the background for the 22 year old. Against the Flyers though, Rielly burst out with a career-high four points, including his first goal this season in a 6-3 Toronto win. “I’ve really not been thinking about that at all,” Rielly said of point production. “I’ve just been trying to play my role which is matchups. I haven’t really been thinking about points or the power play … When it comes to that kind of stuff you just want to win the game, you just want to do whatever you can to help the team. It’s not about how many (points) you had at the end of the night or the end of the year.” Rielly led all Leaf defenders with a career-high 36 points last season, again topping the group with 10 points in 14 games thus far in his fourth NHL season. His three assists against Philadelphia also established a new personal career-best. Babcock likely isn’t concerned with those matters at this point though. He seems determined to have Rielly evolve into a force defensively, pegging him for nightly duties against opposing top lines since early last year.

That task was primarily the unit of Claude Giroux, Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds on Friday night. These are heavy responsibilities for a player with exactly 250 games of NHL experience, but Babcock surely has the long term in mind. He’s likely convinced that if Rielly can learn to defend against the very best the NHL has to offer as a young player, both he and the Leafs will be better off in time. Toronto’s coach continues to limit Rielly’s power-play time, mirroring his use of the defenceman for much of last season. Rielly has garnered just over 10 minutes total with the man advantage (fourth on the Leafs defence), a big chunk of that (3:25) coming against the Flyers. Rielly scored his first goal of the season while on the power play (five-on-three advantage), dodging a Philadelphia penalty killer before whipping a shot past Steve Mason. He notched his trio of assists on Nazem Kadri’s seventh goal this year, Martin Marincin’s first as well as the fifth of the young season for 19-yearold Mitch Marner. Marner’s goal capped a wild third period rally for Toronto, which included four unanswered goals. Even with his hearty defensive responsibilities Rielly still produced 27 even-strength points last year, tied for the 15th-best mark among all NHL defenders. That placed him in the same class as Ryan Suter (28), Oliver Ekman-Larsson (28), Aaron Ekblad (27), P.K. Subban (26), and Drew Doughty (25).

the injury reserved list with a lower body injury, pulled himself after the second period. After Budaj made 12 straight saves, Smith batted in his own rebound out of midair and in to the net at 16:06 of the third period to tie the game 1-1. Budaj finished with 13 stops. “Zatkoff made some pretty crazy saves there on us. We were getting chances which was helping us stick to it,” said Smith. “I think that’s important to know that we can stick around all game and if you have to wait for the last couple of minutes to score then so be it. I thought we were good all game.” Craig Anderson was the busiest of the three goalies in the game as he stopped 32 shots. “We played as good as we could. We were a little overstaffed in the third and we knew they were going to come hard,” Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. “They have a lot of forwards who drive the net and both their goals were scored when we had defencemen lying around the net, so we lost a couple of battles there.” Dwight King had the goal in regulation for the Kings. The Kings had the lone power play of the first period, the most shots and most opportunities but they were unable to get anything past Anderson in the opening 20 minutes. Los Angeles came closest to scoring in the first when Nick Shore used a nifty toe-drag to get around Senators forward Ryan Dzingel and beat Anderson with a shot but it hit the post to keep the game scoreless.

WORLD CUP QUALIFYING

Mexico breaches U.S. ‘fortress’ in Ohio BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLUMBUS, Ohio — Mexico came to Columbus to make history and a statement Friday. And it accomplished both, rallying for a 2-1 victory over the U.S. in a World Cup qualifier. The win was Mexico’s first in five games in cozy — and chilly — Mapfre Stadium, a bandbox the U.S. has dubbed a fortress after going unbeaten in 10 games here. But it was a fortress Mexico finally breached behind

a first-half goal from Miguel Layun and a header from captain Rafa Marquez with a minute left in regulation. Bobby Wood had the only goal for the U.S., tying the score with a brilliant goal in the 49th minute of a bruising, physical game, one befitting a matchup that is among international soccer’s most hard-fought rivalries. Mapfre’s grandstands, packed with a sellout crowd of 24,650, were a sea of red (with some white and blue thrown in) at kickoff, which came under 45-degree skies and a wind chill that made it feel six degrees cooler.

Of the five qualifiers the U.S. and Mexico have played in Columbus, only the 2001 game was colder. Into that chill Mexico sent the deepest lineup it has ever used in its long, heated rivalry with the U.S. The starting 11 featured just two players from Mexico’s domestic league and one, Galaxy midfielder Giovani dos Santos, from MLS. The other eight play for first-division teams in Europe. Layun, who plays for Portugal’s Porto, is one of those European players and he wasted little time getting

Mexico started, finding the lower right corner with a shot from outside the box in the 20th minute. The goal ended a 380-minute scoreless streak for Mexico in Columbus. And El Tri nearly had another five minutes later when Carlos Vela’s header bounced off the crossbar. That marked the second time in 15 minutes a Mexican beat U.S. keeper Tim Howard only to have the shot hit the goal frame. In the 10th minute Jesus Manuel Corona’s shot from the left wing found the far post instead of the net.

Hurricanes forward Bickell diagnosed with MS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALEIGH, N.C. — Carolina Hurricanes forward Bryan Bickell has been diagnosed with multiple

sclerosis. The team announced the diagnosis on Friday. “Since the 2015 playoffs, I’ve been struggling to understand what was going on with my body,” Bickell said in a release. “Again during the past few weeks, it felt like something wasn’t right. Obviously this is a bit of shock for my family and me, but I am hopeful

I will be able to return to the ice and continue playing the game that I love.” Bickell, 30, has scored one goal in seven games with the Hurricanes this season. The Bowmanville, Ont., native was acquired by Caro- BRYAN BICKELL lina on June 15 from Chicago,

where he was a member of the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup-winning teams in 2010, 2013 and 2015. “First and foremost, the most important thing is for Bryan to take care of himself, and our thoughts are with him and his family,” said Hurricanes general manager Ron Francis. “He will need to take some time to rest in the immediate future, and we will support him as he takes the necessary steps for his health. We ask that his privacy be respected during the process.” Bickell was drafted by Chicago in the second round, 41st overall, in

the 2004 NHL draft, and has scored 66 goals and earned 70 assists in 391 NHL career regular-season games with the Blackhawks and Hurricanes “Our thoughts are with Bryan, his family and the Carolina Hurricanes during this challenging time,” Blackhawks president John McDonough said in a statement. “He has built so many lasting relationships in Chicago both inside and outside of the Blackhawks organization based on his play on the ice and character off of it. “Together, we will keep him in our thoughts during his fight against the disease.”

Bill Stanfill, starred for Georgia and Dolphins, dies at 69 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THENS, Ga. (AP) — Bill Stanfill, who was voted the nation’s top college lineman at Georgia and starred on two Super Bowl-winning teams with the Miami Dolphins, has died. He was 69. He died Thursday night in Albany, the university said in a statement on behalf of the family. No cause of death was given, but Stanfill has had numerous health

problems after retiring from the NFL. Stanfill was a fearsome defensive tackle at Georgia, earning All-America honours and capturing the Outland Trophy in 1968 as the nation’s best interior lineman. During his three-year college career, the Bulldogs went 25-7-1 and captured two Southeastern Conference titles. “Bill was probably the greatest athlete as a lineman I ever coached,” former Georgia coach Vince Dooley said. “He could have been a great

tight end as well. Against the triple option, he was the only player that could take the quarterback, the dive back, and the pitch man. Bill was a great person, great warrior, and a great Bulldog.” Stanfill was a first-round pick of the Dolphins in 1969 and spent his entire eight-year NFL career in Miami. He earned Pro Bowl honours four times as a defensive end and was selected to The Associated Press All-Pro first team in 1972. With Stanfill leading the famed

“No-Name Defense” during the ’72 season, the Dolphins became the only team to win every game — 17-0 — on the way to capturing a Super Bowl title. Stanfill’s final two seasons were plagued by injuries, and he retired after the 1976 season. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1998 with Dooley at his side. Three years later, Stanfill was featured in a Sports Illustrated article that detailed the physical problems he endured after leaving football.

Shoppers visit a J.C. Penney store in New York. Reports from retailers, including department stores like Kohl’s, Macy’s and J.C.

After election, are shoppers ready to think about holidays? BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EW YORK — The uncertainty surrounding who will be the next U.S. president is over. But with people still bitterly divided, are they ready to think about a holiday shopping season that thrives on feelings of joy and peace? Reports from retailers, including department stores like Kohl’s, Macy’s and J.C. Penney, showed that shoppers had been starting to step up their spending in the weeks leading up to the election won by Republican Donald Trump. And the companies are generally optimistic about a good holiday season, pointing to higher wages for workers and leaner inventories. “A relatively happy employed consumer base is a willing group of consumers,” said Greg Portell, a partner in A.T. Kearney’s consumer products and retail and communications, media and technology group. Pointing to the political environment is an easy excuse for retailers, analysts said. Even after the rancour of the campaign, they believe, Trump supporters will be in the mood to spend and those who supported Democrat Hillary Clinton or another candidate may shop as a balm on their emotions. “It’s retail therapy either way,” says Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at NPD Group, a market research firm. What the department stores were seeing before the election was a bit of a mixed bag. Macy’s and Kohl’s raised their sales outlooks this week as they

saw improvement, even as they posted another quarter of smaller declines. Nordstrom reported an increase in the key sales measure, and raised its earnings outlook. But Penney cut its annual outlook for a key sales measure after reporting a surprise sales drop as it wrestled with weak clothing sales. Macy’s had specifically cited strength in apparel, across the men’s, women’s and children’s departments. Like some other retailers, Penney’s business has been volatile, bouncing back in the summer after a tough start to the year. In general, a dip in buying is normal before a presidential election as people are distracted and advertising space is taken up by political ads, but spending usually bounces back afterward. In 2012 and 2004, year-over-year sales growth slowed an average of 22 per cent in September and October, from the January through August period, but rebounded an average of 16 per cent in November and December, according to consulting group AlixPartners. Penney’s CEO Marvin Ellison said it was hard to quantify how much the upcoming election affected business in the third quarter but that business accelerated in October, the last month of the period. But he noted from an economic standpoint, shoppers “are in really good shape,” he added. “We are hoping that in the post-election, we are just going to see people spend,” he said. Some consumers are nervous about changes under a Trump presidency that could affect a lot of different industries.

BISMARCK, N.D. — The Texas company developing the Dakota Access pipeline says it’s offered to help pay law enforcement costs related to protests. Energy Transfer Partners says in a statement Friday that it’s made the offer to the state “but it has not moved beyond that at this time.” A spokesman for the governor said he didn’t have any information on the offer, but he was checking. North Dakota’s shouldered most law enforcement expenses to date, even paying for officers from elsewhere. North Dakota already has approved a $10 million line of credit with its state-owned bank to cover the costs. The pipeline’s designed to carry oil from North Dakota to a shipping point in Illinois. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and its supporters argue that it threatens drinking water and cultural sites. The company insists it’s safe.

One dead in Albanian oil refinery explosion TIRANA, Albania — An explosion at an oil refinery in Albania has killed one person and injured five others, Albanian police said Friday. A statement said that the explosion the previous evening at the

oil refinery in Ballsh, 140 kilometres (85 miles) south of the capital, Tirana, was caused by the failure of a hydrogen pump. It sparked a fire that killed a 40-year old man and injured five other people, one seriously. The refining company put the number of injured at six. Firefighters managed to get the fire under control. The Energy Ministry said the equipment had not been operated correctly. The hydrogen pressure was three times the normal level and the security valve did not function.

U.S. faces complaint at WTO over tariffs on Brazilian steel GENEVA — Brazil has filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization against the U.S. over duties imposed on Brazilian steel products. A WTO announcement Friday on the filing comes amid questions about how the U.S. will interact with the Geneva-based trade body after President-elect Donald Trump’s January inauguration. WTO Director-General Roberto Azevedo tweeted Wednesday that the WTO “stands ready to work with the new administration.” Brazil claims the U.S. violated WTO subsidy rules by imposing higher tariffs over the last year on Brazilian cold- and hot-rolled steel flat products in response to alleged improper Brazilian government subsidies.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — Gold, crude oil and the Toronto Stock Exchange all incurred heavy losses Friday as the markets grappled with lingering questions about what U.S. president-elect Donald Trump would do once in office. The setbacks capped one of the wildest trading weeks in recent memory that rocked global markets in the early hours of Trump’s victory, only for them to regain their footing. “It’s not as positive a day today certainly as the last few had been,” said Paul Vaillancourt, an executive vice-president of private wealth at Fiera Capital in Calgary. The markets are now dealing with the longer-term uncertainty of what policies a Trump presidency will bring in or repeal, said Vaillancourt. Even the price of gold, normally considered a safe haven in times of trouble, was in flux as everything acted “topsy-turvy,” he said. December gold contracts lost US$42.10 to trade at US$1,224.30 per ounce. It was the fifth day of losses for the precious metal, which shed US$80.20 over the week.

The gold sector was the biggest drain on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The S&P/TSX composite index fell 188.84 points to 14,555.41, a loss of 1.3 per cent. The gold sector pulled it down the most, shedding more than seven per cent. Another drag was energy, as slumping oil prices affected drillers, as well as service and production companies in Canada, said Vaillancourt. The December contract for oil fell US$1.25 to US$43.41 per barrel. Oil prices took a hit after a monthly report from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said production among its 14 member countries increased last month. In October, OPEC’s members produced 33.64 million barrels per day, up by 240,000 bpd. OPEC has been working towards an agreement to cut oil production, but has been struggling with some members asking for exemptions and continuing to produce high amounts. “The OPEC situation is such a challenge,” said Vaillancourt. Lower oil prices drove down the commodity-sensitive loonie. The Bank of Canada, which publishes the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar, was closed for Remembrance Day. In international trading as of 4 p.m. ET, the loonie had lost 0.33 of a U.S. cent to 73.84 cents US. The picture was slightly brighter on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones industrial average gained 39.78 points to

Saturday, November 12, 2016 set an all-time high of 18,847.66. The Nasdaq composite gained 28.31 points to 5,237.11, while the S&P 500 fell 3.03 points to 2,164.45. Elsewhere in commodities, December natural gas was down 1.3 cents to US$2.62 per mmBTU and December copper lost 4.2 cents to US$2.51 per pound. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Highlights at the close Friday at world financial market trading. Stocks: S&P/TSX Composite Index — 14,555.41, down 188.84 points Dow — 18,847.66, up 39.78 points (record high) S&P 500 — 2,164.45, down 3.03 points Nasdaq — 5,237.11, up 28.31 points Currencies: closed for Remembrance Day (Thursday: Cdn — 74.17 cents US, down 0.58 of a cent) Oil futures: US$43.41 per barrel, down $1.25 (December contract) Gold futures: US$1,224.30 per oz., down $42.10 (December contract) Canadian Fine Silver Handy and Harman: closed for Remembrance Day (Thursday: $26.018 oz $836.48 kg.)

Still, the majority of Americans (six in 10) say they get at least some news from social media , mostly Facebook, according to the Pew Research Center. While a lot of this news comes from established outlets — whether CNN or BuzzFeed News, misinformation spreads on Facebook just as information does, shared by users, recommended by software and amplified by both. Sources of spurious information has ranged from news articles produced by “content farms” for the sole purpose of getting clicks, to “hyperpartisan” sites from both sides of the political spectrum, churning out stories that are misleading at best. Case in point: “FBI AGENT SUSPECTED IN HILLARY EMAIL LEAKS FOUND DEAD IN APPARENT MURDER-SUICIDE” — a fabricated headline from a fake news site called the Denver Guardian, was shared thousands of times in the days leading up to the election. Is it possible that voters were swayed for or against a candidate, much like those same people might buy a product after seeing an ad on Facebook? Zuckerberg says voters deserve more credit. During an interview Thursday with The Facebook Effect author David Kirkpatrick, Zuckerberg said idea that people voted the way they did because of bogus information on Facebook shows a “profound lack of empathy” for supporters of Donald Trump. “Voters make decisions based on their lived experience,” he said. Given the acerbic political contest from which the country just emerged, when countless longtime friends, even family, were unfriended, many are left to wonder if there would be an alternative American history being written today if it were not for Facebook, Twitter and the like. This, after all, was the first truly social media election, playing out on Twitter and Facebook as much or more than it did on major networks, in living rooms and around watercoolers. But isn’t social media just a reflection of our world as it exists? Has Facebook become an easy scapegoat when the answer is far more complex?

OPINION

Kellie Leitch likes Trump’s politics: that’s Canadian values? MOST HORRID U.S. ELECTION CAMPAIGN WE’VE SEEN IN LIVING MEMORY

ederal Tory leadership candidate Kellie Leitch wasted little time in praising the outcome of the most horrid election campaign we’ve seen in living memory. Donald Trump, as silver Greg spooned an elite as Neiman ever there was, threw out the elites in Washington to become the next U.S. president.

‘TONIGHT, OUR AMERICAN COUSINS THREW OUT THE ELITES AND ELECTED DONALD TRUMP AS THEIR NEXT PRESIDENT. IT’S AN EXCITING MESSAGE AND ONE THAT WE NEED DELIVERED IN CANADA AS WELL.’ — KELLIE LEITCH

Fellow elite on the Canadian side, Leitch, says it’s an example that needs to be followed in Canada. “Tonight, our American cousins threw out the elites and elected Donald Trump as their next president. It’s an exciting message and one that we need delivered in Canada as well,” Leitch, a former cabinet minister and practising orthopaedic paediatric surgeon, says in a report in the National Post. “It’s the message I’m bringing with my campaign to be the next Prime Minister of Canada. It’s why I’m the only candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada who is standing up for Canadian values.” Leitch is proposing that the 250,000 people wanting to immigrate to Canada each year should be screened in special face-to-face meetings for Canadian values. That would be about as easy to implement as building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border Just the same, would an admitted sex abuser and known liar, a misogynist, and racist individual who doesn’t pay taxes who has stiffed his workers on their wages and who is currently facing numerous legal suits against him pass Leitch’s test? Just asking. From her elite position, I wonder if Leitch herself wonders if the sort of campaign she wants to drag into Canada would have happened as it did, if Trump’s competitor not been a woman. You can bet Sandra Jansen and Donna Kennedy-Glans have stared that issue, right in its ugly face. Both were running for leadership of the

Alberta Conservative Party, and both quit on the same day after experiencing that unique kind of harassment reserved for female politicians. And much of it in Red Deer. I don’t know how many death threats have been sent to other Alberta premiers, or how many violently sexualized comments have been directed to her predecessors, but Rachel Notley has certainly gotten her share. As if one example would not be too many. She says the reports of harassment against the two candidates is “troubling.” Um, yes … troubling. “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. But then again, Donald Trump was widely viewed as unfit for office, too. We’re told this kind of thing happens in politics everywhere. The point today should be: why do aspiring politicians normalize it? Because the politics of dividing and dehumanizing people seems to be a winning formula, that’s why. Alberta got an NDP government, not because the good folks in Wild Rose Country suddenly woke up and found themselves to be socialists. It was because voters were tired of the moribund and corrupt Tory party that had been in office for as long as most Albertans have been alive.

Canadians got Justin Trudeau and the Liberals, not because we woke up one day with a Sunny Ways disposition, but because we had ceased to trust the current leadership of the federal Tory party. The difference today is that both provincially and federally the rankand-file of Conservative persuasion seem ready to double down on the politics of division. If you don’t like big-tent Conservatism, with all its compromises and accommodations to larger society, you now have licence to demonize and harass those Conservatives you don’t like. If those Conservatives happen to be female, all the better, and all the easier. Alberta leadership candidate Jason Kenney, as partisan a Tory as anyone needs, wants to unite the right in Alberta, and merge with the Wild Rose. The Wild Rose, the larger and richer party of the two, doesn’t see the advantage in merging. Historically, Alberta’s pure-blue Conservatives have been much more to the centre, than the Wild Rose. Well, today, perhaps not so much. At least Wild Rose at one time had a female leader, as did the Alberta Conservatives. And look what happened to them.

HAY’S DAZE

Sign, sign everywhere a sign, can’t you read the sign? S

o with all kinds of scary things going on in the world these days, doesn’t it all make you just want to either run away to the safety of the deep dark woods and live on berries and really bad Wi-Fi, or curl up in a fetal ball and pretend that the world actually makes sense? When the melancholy morass of doubt and confusion and a really bad HARLEY restaurant meal gets you down, why HAY not seek solace in signs? No, I don’t mean those epiphany producing miraculous life moments that point you in a certain direction when you need it most — those are unfortunately few and far between, and seem to mostly happen to people in mediocre novels and movies made for middle aged females. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) No I’m referring to dumb street signs, ridiculous traffic signs, and any other kind of printed sign, symbol or scribble that makes you shake your head or laugh or both, and at least temporarily forget that we’re all going to hell in a handbasket. I have this little book called Signspotting that I found at a second hand bookstore somewhere sometime that lives on my shelf. I open it up once in a while, like now, when I need to cheer up. Let’s see if it works for you. In Florida, there’s a large sign on an overhead traffic light, the kind with the round red, amber and green lights. It says: “This Light Never Turns Green.” In Nambia: a direction sign in an airport: “Go back toward your behind.” Or this one: “THIS SIGN HAS SHARP EDGES Do Not Touch Edges Of Sign” (and that’s all that is on the sign). In Mexico: “Warning! Water for the toilet is not drinkable.” In Arkansas, a large official highway sign reads:

“Toad Suck Park — Next Right.” Now doesn’t that make you want to slam on your brakes and head for the park to suck some toads? As if driving in some places isn’t confusing enough, how about these actual road signs in various U.S. states: “Turn on headlights in clouds.” And: “To Go Left Make 3 Right Turns.” Or how about a yellow warning triangle that says: “Caution: Pedestrians Walking.” Good thing we don’t have to watch for pedestrians who are just standing there. And these get a load of these gems (all of them professionally lettered signs): “Horse Assembly — Next Left.” “Aves Taxidermy & Cheese.” On a bin of unshelled peanuts: “CAUTION This Product Contains Peanuts.” In a large department store: “WARNING Unattended Children Will Be Sold To The Circus.” At a public swimming pool: “DO NOT BREATHE UNDER THE WATER.” Or here’s some good advice: “If Door Does Not Open — DO NOT ENTER.” And this on a sports field: “DO NOT PLAY SOCCER Soccer May Only Be Played Archery Range.” Yikes! And there are about a hundred more pages of similar silly sign singularities which are great for a smile or two. Which reminds me of a good little true story: an anonymous friend of ours (Valerie) once confidently and mistakenly entered the Men’s washroom. Why? She says the sign on one washroom door showed the simple white outline of a human wearing a skirt, but since she was wearing pants that day it seemed perfectly logical to go in the other door with the familiar sign of a human wearing pants. So, you see, let’s all cheer up. All we have to do is wait for the signs. And then ignore most of them. Harley Hay is a local freelance writer, award-winning author, filmmaker and musician.

STREET TALES

Put away our wallets, open our hearts and minds

bout three-and-a-half decades ago, a friend and I went to B.C. and on one particular evening set up our tent on the beach at Penticton. Because it was raining, we hung a sheet of plastic over the front of the tent and so when it was time to retire, we were laying half in and half out of the tent having a very serious Chris discussion about life and faith. of the statements that he made Salomons wasOne that you cannot change the spots on a leopard nor can you change a zebra into a workhorse. Those words have stuck with me through all the years, so recently, with all the reflection I have done on the poor and disenfranchised members of our society, these statements came to mind again. My head does that to me often lately. In an article I did about a young fellow named Jeff, I mentioned that some of his ancestors may have come through the residential school system where they were not really taught, rather they were stripped of their rightful identity. I’m really not 100 per cent sure of the justifica-

tion behind starting these schools, but there are definitely many negative results. In my mind the greatest damage was done by stripping these kids of their identity and not replacing it with something positive. Not that they didn’t try. Here’s where those earlier quotes come in handy; if you remove the spots from a leopard, you lose the ability to identify it as a leopard, now it just becomes another cat. Not only does it lose its identity, it can no longer function as it did before, because it no longer has the ability to camouflage itself. In much the same way, native Canadians were stripped of their identity and in the methods used to accomplish that, I believe, the kids were so traumatized that they were incapable of learning anything new. Add to this they were not treated as human beings, (which they were not considered as anyway), so it was no wonder that they came out of this system with no abilities to work, play or even think rationally in some cases. One thing they did learn very well was self-condemnation. You may think I am oversimplifying all of this, but spend some time with some of these folks as they try so desperately to find out where they belong. They carry an imposed guilt of being native while at the same time feeling the rejection of an unsympathetic

society. Put yourselves in their shoes for just a few moments and see if it does not affect you. We are dealing with a bureaucracy that is ever hopeful of sweeping the issues under the rug with a few thousand dollars. What is not realized is that the problem only becomes exacerbated because the recipients are so used to handouts, this is just one more. When will society ever learn that these issues cannot be resolved with money? Let’s stop rejecting these folks with inappropriate labels and prideful attitudes, instead can we not embrace them as fellow human beings and then compassionately help them carry their hurts. Let’s stop making the comments like, “I did not create this situation,” all the while realizing that our culture often promotes that attitude. As a country we should put away our wallets; rather open up our hearts and minds to developing a more harmonious relationship with a people that often have a huge heart, but is hidden by what we have been conditioned to see. Maybe we can start by letting the leopard keep its spots, and stop trying to train the zebra to be something it was not created to be.

FOCUS

This need not be a curse for Trudeau

OPINION

ntil this week, Justin Trudeau was as much in command of his government’s agenda as a majority prime minister could hope to be. In the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential victory that is no longer true. There are a few files whose handling is truly central to the success of CHANTEL a Canadian prime minister. HEBERT The unity of the federation is one. Keeping the channels open between the White House and Ottawa and the border open between Canada and the United States is another and not just for the obvious reason that when the protectionist instincts of our main trading partner kick in — as they have over Trump’s campaign — the economic prosperity of the country is at risk. When there is a real and credible threat on either of those fronts, the task of leading the fire brigade falls squarely on the shoulders of the prime minister, even if that means other priorities have to take a back seat. As of this week, making sense of Canada’s place in the Trump universe will require Trudeau’s full attention - and potentially some course corrections. Intellectual and political resources will have to be redeployed along the Canada-U.S. front including — if and when Trudeau proceeds to a mid-mandate shuffle — within the cabinet. Trump’s campaign has invested a new dose of legitimacy in the anti-immigration rhetoric that has become increasingly prevalent in western Europe. On the heels of the Brexit vote in the United King-

dom, his victory could have a ripple effect in next year’s French and German national elections. Trudeau is currently seen as the rising progressive star of the current political generation of world leaders. A year from now, he could also be a lonely planet. Talking about ripple effect, Canada’s Conservative party seems destined to serve as an echo chamber for the kind of populist rhetoric that got Trump to the White House. On Wednesday, leadership contender Kellie Leitch celebrated the outcome of the U.S. vote as a victory of the people over the elites. She doubled down on her contention that Canada needed to stand guard against letting in immigrants without vetting their values. Notwithstanding Leitch’s mantra, the Canadian consensus that a Clinton presidency would have been a preferable outcome for Canada was a wide one. It was one of the rare issues that found Jason Kenney, the former federal immigration minister who would unite the right in Alberta, and his New Democrat nemesis, Premier Rachel Notley, on the same page. That consensus will not outlive the outcome of the American election. A Trump presidency did not go into the mix of the calculations that have attended Liberal decisions on issues as central to the federal agenda as energy and climate change. Trudeau was already walking on a wire as he strived to balance a more activist climate change strategy with the approval of more pipelines to get Alberta oil to tidewater. That wire is now frayed. It will be harder to make the case for carbon pricing across Canada in the face of an American

administration with no interest in partaking in the international arrangements to mitigate climate change. It will be tougher to sell controversial pipeline projects in Canada if those become hostage to a take-no-prisoner fight that pits Trump against the North American environmental movement. Public support for Canada’s role in the combat mission against Daesh, also known as ISIS or ISIL, in the Middle East may be in shorter supply after Trump is installed as U.S. commander-in-chief. It is a rare prime-ministerial agenda that is not at the mercy of events beyond a federal government’s control. Past experience suggests that needs not be a curse. After the federalist near miss of the 1995 Quebec referendum, Jean Chrétien had to retool. Ditto in the wake of 9/11. Stephen Harper, similarly, had to alter his government’s fiscal course at the time of the 2008 global financial crisis. Both turned imposed challenges into opportunities, gaining strength from the unexpected hurdles thrown unto their paths. In each of their cases, it was unforeseen events of a great magnitude that became the defining features of their mandates. A word in closing: Trudeau is expected to invite Trump to make Canada the destination of his first foreign visit. President Barack Obama’s maiden trip to Canada in 2009 — much like his final one last June — was punctuated by spontaneous outpourings of popular affection. But when he rolls out the red carpet for Trump, the prime minister may have to call upon a central casting agency for extras to pose as fans of the incoming U.S. president. Chantal Hébert is a national affairs writer. Her column appears Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

OPINION

The polarizing nature of man’s relationship with carbon BY BILL WHITELAW ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

ALGARY — A centuries-old Indian fable tells of six blind men who each get to put their hands on different parts of an elephant. One gets a tusk. The next the trunk. A third the tail. The fourth an ear. And so on. Each is challenged to describe the elephant’s apparent properties based on their perceptions (and pre-existing perspectives) as a result of that single sensory experience. It’s a tale of multiple “truths” and “realities” that devolve rapidly into conflict and disagreement as each man makes his case. You can imagine the dialogue based on each person’s experience with the elephant, given the disparate nature of those touch points. The story focuses on the power of individualized viewpoints without mediating mechanisms. A contemporary Canadian version could be Six Blind Men and a Carbon Atom. The “blind men” in question: environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs), media, bureaucrats, industry, politicians and the public. All are actors in the carbon drama being played out on our national stage. And all suffer some form of cognitive impairment when it comes to things carbon. Each has a touch point on the proverbial carbon

atom - with a view rooted deeply in a belief system. However, each is mostly at a loss about how best to describe that view to their counterparts constructively. There is no mediating mechanism that complements or corroborates views of what the atom actually represents. So there is no way to arrive at a view that the carbon atom is both a challenge and an opportunity best tackled collectively. In some versions of the elephant fable, the debate over the “true nature” of the elephant and its meaning gets heated and adversarial. Each man is committed to his version of reality. There’s no room for anyone else’s reality. In other versions, rationality prevails. Through respectful dialogue, the six reconcile their views. In yet other versions, all parties remain far from consensus — the moral being that discord results from a failure to account for other points of view. You can say pretty much the same of our carbon conversations in Canada. The debates are mostly acrimonious and adversarial, more defined by polarization than collaboration. And they typically fail to account for alternative realities and truths. Provinces are embarking on different carbon strategies via their climate leadership initiatives and each initiative has become politicized. Ottawa will impose a carbon price structure on provinces that don’t jump to their own carbon pump. So much for federal-provincial harmony. Many ENGOs have vilified carbon as symbolic of

the evil empire: the fossil fuel industry. That industry is starting to respond but hasn’t presented a reasonably unified front. Mainstream media has generally made a mess of its opportunity to mediate on behalf of its diverse constituencies. Meanwhile, a largely-complacent public waits to figure out which carbon parade to follow. As a country, we’re making a hash of a critically important socio-economic and environmental debate that ought to be building the nation instead of dividing it. We’re all in the same carbon boat; our hands all touching the same atom. We all want the most pristine environment possible, but we also want a thriving economy. The two are not mutually exclusive. But blindness in our Canadian context is just a frustrating form of carbon myopia: each hand on the atom understands it differently and expects different outcomes as part of their respective end games. The elephant parable invites us to contemplate the consequences of not seeing truths and meanings outside our own belief systems. Failure will preclude meaningful progress toward a common set of truths. Who knew an elephant and an atom had so much in common?

DESIGNING

When dealing with children, keep spaces open D

ear Debbie: Organizing my country mudroom, I am struggling between cupboards that shut away the clutter and open walls lined with hooks. My kids generally opt for the floor. DEBBIE Help. Suzanna TRAVIS Dear Suzanna: It’s pretty much a given that kids won’t use cupboards; it is an extra step to open a door. Hooks are the answer for every day wear. Make it more interesting (and stylish) with hooks that have some character. In my mudroom I have utilized a wide plank of recycled barn wood and old firemen’s hooks I found at a road sale. Baskets help keep the gloves and hats off the floor. The cupboard is for backup, and maybe the adults. Dear Debbie: Our home has a small entryway, 8’x8’, and has three doors, one leading to a closet, the second to an office, and the third is a small door to the central heat and air unit. The entry space also has an opening to the hallway leading to the bedrooms. Are there some ways you could suggest to enhance this space, to make it seem larger and more welcoming? Lisa Dear Lisa: Small or awkward entrance ways are, sadly, all too common. Create a focal point opposite the front door that will draw you and your guests into your home. In the hallway leading to the bedrooms, place a small table with an interesting lamp, or an expressive piece of wall art, such as textile art, that has some of the colours and style seen in the rest of your home. Hang a large mirror over the furnace door. This will instantly open the entrance, plus a mirror is always a welcome addition at the front door. Paint walls and doors the same light colour to open up the space. Lighting

is an important element, especially in the dark days of winter. Look for an overhead fixture; the choices are limitless, from modern chandeliers to funky pendants. Make sure you can set it for full illumination and then dim it. Dear Debbie: I have been thinking about taking out the only bathtub that exists in the house, since tubs are difficult for seniors to manage. They also consume a lot of water and we prefer showers. Could this negatively affect the potential resale value of the home? Carmela Dear Carmela: You should plan your bathroom around your needs — and removing the bathtub makes sense. Replace it with a “spa” shower, big enough to have a permanent seat, shower bars to allow safe access, a non-slip surface, and shelves for bath products. You can really splurge on the shower head or stay simple. Either way, this reno will have a positive effect on resale, and make your life more comfortable. Dear Debbie: I’d like to take out the wall between the kitchen and living/ dining room as the living area is currently rather restricted if one day we need to have walkers or other apparatus. It would also be a huge advantage to have a washer and dryer upstairs. Although it’s highly unconventional, could a washer and dryer be installed in an island in this opened up space? Carmela, again Dear Carmela: Kitchens are no longer shut away, but have been invited into the living/ dining rooms and family rooms to create a communal barrier-free area. Easy living extends to doing the laundry too, so by all means arrange your washer-dryer on the main floor of your home. Apartment- or condo-size appliances are perfect, fitting under the counter, or piggy-backed in a cupboard. As with your bathroom reno, this will enhance resale.

DESIGNING SPACES

Creating ‘islands’ within a space will define its function

reader from Lacombe, Alberta, wrote to me with a common problem that few people have managed to master. “We built this home several years ago, and still struggle today with the living room furniture layout. The corner fireplace is the first challenge and in the opposite corner, I have a corner cabinet. “ DAVID “This ‘Great Room’ should be large FERGUSON enough for furniture, but because it is the main route from front entrance to the kitchen and/or dining room, I need to keep the furniture far enough away from this high traffic area.” “Our latest challenge involves where to place the furniture after a new, larger television is installed between these two corner features. I believe I have too much furniture.” “With the children grown and gone, my husband and I use this space exclusively, to relax or to watch TV, so we don’t require a lot of seating area.” Open floor plans have become the norm in almost every new build. Although there is a slow-moving trend returning to clearly defined spaces, each with its exclusive function, most homes built today feature “rooms” that seamlessly flow from one to the next. There will always be a desire to delineate spaces within the greater space, and happily there are several simple ways to do just that.

Some of these methods will literally separate spaces, while others will hint about each space’s uniqueness. 1. Just the facts, Ma’am. All interior design projects begin by analyzing the space in question and determining how much area is required for each function. Although this living room measures close to 4.5 metres by 5.2 metres (15-feet by 17-feet), the reader correctly identified traffic flow as an important consideration. A major path, like that separating the kitchen and family room, should maintain a minimum of one metre (three feet) wide. Once each “room’s” functions is sorted out (in this case, watching television) and the space each function will require is determined (for example, the distance required from the sofa to the TV screen, usually manufacturer-suggested), the traffic paths will emerge naturally. These “corridors” are the simplest way to organize an open floor plan. 2. Separate, but equal. Occasionally, literally building a full or half-wall is the most effective way to delineate space. A good example of this would be a wall with an opening between the kitchen and dining room. Although not necessary, a wall like that gives the domestic chef a degree of control within their space while maintaining direct contact with guests. In a modern home, transparent partitions will both define a space and give it a strong visual contrast. It’s a great way to divide a space without compromising the airy feeling of an open plan.

3. Space Rugs. No, they’re not made from extra-terrestrial material, they are merely one of the simplest ways to organize and define space. One or more area rugs within any function will demarcate each space. Depending on the style of the room, an area rug, or series of rugs, could be any design, if each is appropriately sized for the area. In the example shown, a large Persian Bakhtiari combines a bit of sophistication with a more casual overall feeling. A space’s colour scheme can easily be changed each season simply by replacing one style of rug with another. 4. A well-raised floor. To clearly define a large, individual space within an even larger common space, a strong visual barrier may be needed. By raising the floor in one area, the distinction becomes immediately evident. This type of barrier is most often successful when it is appropriate for one area to overlook another. For example, a kitchen overlooking the seating area gives the host a bird’s-eye view of the guests. A slightly heightened dining area in a highrise may be a good opportunity to capitalize on a magnificent vista. 5. Look up; Way up. Hands down, the most under-considered part of any decorating scheme is usually the lowly ceiling. Despite being the second largest single expanse of area in any space, after the floor, a finished ceiling is often declared once a coat of white paint is applied. Yet many opportunities exist to use the ceiling as a method of defining space. A ceiling design, such as a coffered or cove ceiling, featured over a seating or dining area will create a focal feature as well as strongly defining a space. 6. The right light on site. Regardless of the amount of work and planning put into a project, the area’s lighting can often make or break a design. Properly illuminated, even small, closed-in spaces can be made to look airier and more open. Different types of lighting fixtures can help define specific areas. A dramatic chandelier over a table, a grouping of attractive pendant lights over an island or entertainment centre, or lines of track lighting, will each define specific functions in a room. In general, recessed lights installed evenly in the room will provide the ambient light or general illumination, a second layer of task light will illuminate specific functions like reading and sewing, and accent lighting will draw attention to the roomís best features. 7. Room dividers. A corridor is, by definition, a passageway that connects two or more parts of a building. Its width should be determined by how often it is used, like a space that connects two busy areas; who is using the space, whether by an able-bodied or wheelchair-bound individual; or how the area is used, like that precarious area between an oven and a counter top. With that said, a corridor is most effective when passage is not impeded by any obstruction. Creating “islands” within a space will define its function. A seating island is created by the simple arrangement of furniture — in this case, a sofa and two chairs facing the television and adjacent to the fireplace. A sofa table gives added interest to the back of the seating piece and adds to its strong placement.

Not only can using salvaged wood give a home a one-of-a-kind look, but it’s a handy way to incorporate the three Rs of green living into your lifestyle: reduce, reuse and recycle. Reclaimed wood is often used in flooring, beams, wall treatments, and doors, but it also can be turned into furniture or home accent items. Reclaimed wood adds warmth and historical interest to a home’s decor that newer materials may lack.

make the process of finding and using salvaged wood even easier. Homeowners considering reclaimed wood may be interested to learn that such wood can serve various functions aside from benefitting the planet. • Match old-growth wood. New regulations may prevent certain species of trees from being cut down. That means it can be challenging to match old wood in a home, particularly if you’re looking to maintain historical value and authenticity. Relying on salvaged wood items can alleviate this concern, ensuring that you can find rare woods that are no longer available brand new. • Salvaged wood has character. It’s difficult to mimic the natural age marks and character that older wood may

You could go to a lot of trouble and expense having the air in your house analyzed, but you might just want to boost ventilation in the house right off the bat, since that’s what improving indoor air quality often comes down to anyway. Do you have a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) in your house now? If not, consider one. I know a teenage boy whose severe, life-long respiratory allergies were almost completely cured simply by switching on an HRV that had been in his rental home all along. Vent for a basement root cellar Q: What size of vent holes should I build into the basement root cellar I’m constructing? I’m currently renovating my entire basement, and part of the renovation includes a walk-in root cellar. A: Holes large enough to accept four-inch diameter ABS pipes work well. You need these to open in two different places in your cellar — one up high near the ceiling and another down low near the floor. You’ll also need to fit these pipes with some kind of valve that allows them to be closed or opened. Operating a basement root cellar involves management of temperature and humidity, and this comes down to ventilation. You’ll need to bore holes about five inches in diameter to allow a four-inch ABS pipe to fit in with room for sealant around the outsides, and the best tool for this is a coring drill and bit.

have. Instead of being raised on farms, wood harvested decades ago probably grew in natural environments, making the wood both durable and strong. The color and grain of salvaged wood may also be unique. • Look at objects in a new way. Doors are versatile pieces of reclaimed lumber because they’re already flat and rather large. Doors can be turned into headboards, tables or benches. Staircase or porch posts can be turned into candlestick holders, and wood shutters can dress up walls and provide a place to hang artwork and other wall items. The Internet is awash with ideas for putting salvaged wood to use. Get inspired and then find the pieces that will fit your project.

announcements Obituaries 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. The celebration of Walter’s life will be held at 1:00 p.m., Tuesday, November 15, 2016 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 6 McMillan Ave, Red Deer, AB. Interment will follow at Alto Reste Cemetery, Hwy 11 east, Red Deer, County. Memorial donations may be made in Walter Wedman’s honor to the Alberta Heart and Lung Association, P.O. Box 4500 Station South, Edmonton, AB, T6E 6K2. Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.eventidefuneralchapel.com.

IN SHORT Victoria police arrest man running a marijuana vending cart VICTORIA — The public may be used to seeing ice cream carts or beer carts at events on hot summer days, but not carts selling illicit substances. Victoria Police say they arrested a man pedalling a marijuana cart that was decorated with the name “420 Delivery” in large type on the sides. The number 420 is a widely used code term for marijuana use. Officers noticed the man pedalling through the city’s downtown core last week. Police say the 22-year-old man in charge of the vending cart was found in possession of 150 grams of marijuana. The man was released on a promise to appear in court next month. Police are recommending charges of one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Man shot by police had ‘criminal intentions,’ took hostage: chief Vancouver police say a man shot and killed during a robbery and hostage-taking may have had further criminal intentions after trying to steal firearms at a Canadian Tire outlet. Chief Constable Adam Palmer says officers searched the 38-year-old Vancouver man’s home

and found concerning evidence of his possible motive, but didn’t specify what that might have been. Palmer says the 380-pound man dressed in camouflage, who is known to police, stabbed a 53-year-old employee in the back and across the neck before removing guns from cabinets on Thursday. Palmer says the suspect then abandoned the firearms and took an 82-year-old man hostage at knifepoint as he left the store before confronting police. The chief says when police tried to arrest the man he stabbed an officer multiple times including in the head and stomach. While the hostage was unhurt, the officer and the employee were rushed to hospital with lifethreatening injuries, but both are now in stable condition.

Teen gets conditional discharge for sex assault in high school EDMONTON — A boy has been given a sixmonth conditional discharge for grabbing the breasts and buttocks of a girl in an Edmonton-area high school and trying to kiss her. Youth court Judge Danielle Dalton sentenced the youth on Thursday and, if he meets certain conditions, his sexual assault conviction will be erased after one year. Court heard the boy, now 16, did not know the 15-year-old girl he approached in the school’s hallway. He fondled her before pushing her into a locker, grabbing her again and running his hands across her body before trying to kiss her. The teen was initially acquitted, but in July a Court of Queen’s Bench justice overturned the decision and convicted the boy. The justice said the original judge had erred in interpreting and applying the law of consent, which she called “not a difficult concept.” “Consent means ‘yes.’ The word ‘no’ does not mean ‘yes,’” Justice Juliana Topolniski said.

ONTREAL — A Montreal man on trial for trying to board an airplane with explosives-related materials in his suitcase told a judge Friday he strongly believes he was set up. Antony Piazza, an Iranian-born Canadian citizen, is facing four charges stemming from the Montreal airport bomb scare on Oct. 27, 2013. Piazza, 74, told the court he believes an acquaintance in Spain with whom he had a falling-out over money earlier that year inserted the items into his carry-on suitcase. “I have 99.9 per cent suspicion that these things have been placed by him in my bag because no one else has access to my bag,” Piazza testified. Piazza said the luggage had been left at the man’s home in Spain during the 2013 trip as he made a side trip to England. The smaller cabin luggage was placed in his empty, larger suitcase for the trip home. It was the only instance the baggage was out of his possession. The arrest came a few months later as he attempted to leave Montreal for Los Angeles. The retired businessman was eager to testify in his own defence Friday. “I’ve been waiting three years and 16 days for this moment,” Piazza told Quebec court Judge Thierry Nadon. Piazza said he was shocked when security screeners turned up the materials while X-raying his luggage as he prepared to board the California-bound Air Canada flight to see his siblings and place a stone on his late mother’s grave. The tubes connecting the suitcase handle contained five bullets wrapped in plastic, while the other tube had wires, matchheads and blades. Piazza testified he’d never touched guns or bullets in his life. “I was deeply shocked and surprised at how those things got there,” he said, adding he co-operated fully with police. “I didn’t know what was going on.” The court has heard previously the items in the extendable luggage arms could be used, technically, to make a detonator but that the explosion would have been minimal. Piazza faces four charges: possession of an explosive substance attempting to transport an explosive substance on an airplane mischief by endangering the safety of an airport or aircraft and disrupting activity at the airport and placing an object on a plane that was likely to endanger the aircraft or the safety of passengers. The discovery caused lengthy delays at the airport, including cancelled flights, and a vast security perimeter in the Montreal neighbourhood where he lives.

ETIQUETTE

Give me some room when doing transactions NO REASONABLE PERSON WOULD TAKE OFFENCE IF YOU TOLD THEM TO BACK UP A LITTLE

ear Annie: I have an etiquette issue that I am hopeful you can resolve. A store where I shop has an area cordoned off for customers to wait in line for an available cashier to ensure the privacy of each individual’s transaction. While paying for my purchases recently with a credit card, a man sudAnnie denly appeared at my shoulder. He made me feel extremely unLane comfortable, as my credit card and driver’s license information were exposed. I thought the cashier might suggest to him that he move back to the cordoned area to wait his turn, but she did not. Though I very much wanted him to move away, I didn’t want to create a scene and consequently said nothing (silently stewing instead). I suspect this experience is not unique. What would be an appropriate response in these situations? — A Little Space, Please Dear Space: It’s smart of you to stay aware of your surroundings and be vigilant about this sort of thing. Many fraudsters steal information simply by snooping over shoulders in checkout lines.

Saturday, Nov. 12 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Neil Young, 71; Anne Hathaway, 34; Ryan Gosling, 36 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Venus moves into Capricorn and Mercury moves into Sagittarius. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You are magnetically attractive and others are drawn to your natural charisma. 2017 is the year to count your blessings and dream

big dreams. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Curious Mercury moves into your adventure zone. So it’s a wonderful day to study something new. Or travel somewhere — locally, nationally or internationally — that has always intrigued you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Venus shifts into serious Capricorn. So your motto for the moment is from birthday great, singer-songwriter Neil Young. “As you go through life, you’ve got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.” GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s not all about you today Twins! Venus and Mercury shift into your relationship zones. So the more you focus on the needs of loved ones, the happier everyone will be. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Venus visits your relationship zone, where it stays until Dec. 7. So plan something extra romantic with your partner. Single Crabs — look for love with a lusty Libra or a sexy Scorpio. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s a delightful day to share pleasurable activities with a lover, child or friend. Whether it’s a movie, a concert, a delicious meal or stimulating conversation, it’s time to have some fun together. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Home is where the heart is! Family matters and domestic projects are favoured, as your ruler Mercury moves into your home zone. So do your best to keep the lines of communication wide open.

I agree that the cashier probably should have asked this man to step back and wait his turn, but ultimately, it’s up to you to protect your personal information. As for an appropriate response, there would be nothing wrong with your plainly asking, “Excuse me, but would you please back up a little?” No reasonable person would take offense to that. You could also use obvious body language, such as turning your back and hunching over a bit, shielding the keypad with your hand. That should send the message to anyone getting too close for comfort in the future. Dear Annie: Having worked in nursing for over 40 years, I know what the “newbie” nurse’s aide who wrote to you is feeling. There are always those staff members who disappear when patients need something or do just enough to get by. My philosophy has always been to ask myself, “Would I want me for my nurse?” If I am doing my job properly, then the answer is “yes,” because I’m doing what I should be doing. The others whom this person is working with may be “dumping” on her, but more likely, they have done just enough to get by and no one has been around to reprimand them, or maybe those in

authority are passive and just let things slide. The patients are the ones who ultimately suffer when everyone doesn’t pull his or her weight and work together for the good of those entrusted to the nurses’ care. If she keeps a record of when this happens, exactly what happens and who is involved, then she can go to her boss with the information so that maybe it can be addressed. The downside of that is that the people she is complaining about will know the source and possibly make her life even more difficult. — Carol in Florida Dear Annie: I would like to say thank you, Frustrated in Maine, for the opportunity to chime in about one of my biggest pet peeves of all time, the question “Would you like change?” I feel it is a very rude statement, which also prompts me to leave a smaller tip. In my opinion, it would be considerably more courteous for them to say, “I’ll be right back with your change.” That is a statement I recall from maybe 10 years ago, which seems just as easy to say, in my opinion. The tips will be there — and perhaps even larger. — Frustrated in Minnesota, Too Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Calling all Librans! Your power planet Venus shifts into your domestic zone. So you may be called on to calm troubled waters — or cool fiery tempers — at home today. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): With Mercury in your money zone, it’s time to improve your financial literacy. And Venus favours social media. So you could boost your cash flow via an online post, promotion or joint venture. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): With Mercury joining Saturn in your well being zone, are you exercising and eating well? Plus make sure you’re up-to-date with all your medical checks. Maintaining good health requires discipline. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Vivacious pleasure-planet Venus powers into Capricorn. Which increases your romantic side and boosts your social life. So tone down your workaholic side and pump up the charm! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A goal or aspiration will be put on hold but that’s OK. It gives you extra time to think things through and calibrate your plans. If you’re still in doubt, look within for extra guidance and inspiration. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’re keen to support a friend or colleague through a difficult time. But don’t get carried away, over-commit, and promise more than you can actually deliver. Take things one step at a time.

relationship with a child, teenager or friend, aim to be as proactive — and diplomatic — as possible today Twins. But expect some complications along the way. CANCER (June 21-July 22): When it comes to relationships, avoid the tendency to be physically clingy or emotionally manipulative. Remember there’s a big difference between loving someone and smothering them! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Expect some intense communication with others, as the planets trigger emotional outbursts and plenty of power games. The more you try to control others, the more they will resist. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A creative approach clears away the cobwebs, especially when it comes to financial concerns. The more proactive you are about increasing cash flow, the more money matters will improve. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Home is where the heart is, as you spend quality time with family. You’re in the mood to fix something around the house or to patch up a problematic relationship with a relative. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Resist the temptation to use subversive tactics to manipulate others today Scorpio. Remember — you don’t always have to be in control. Instead, learn to let go, relax and move on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Mercury is now moving through your sign so it’s time to travel, study, do business or research a topic that has always intrigued you. You’re keen to mix and mingle with a new crowd. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t waste time and energy criticizing others. The only way you’ll get things completed properly is if you take charge and do them yourself. Then you can rest after a job well done. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Mercury is now moving through your networking zone, so it’s the perfect time to connect with family, friends and colleagues from far and wide, both in person and online. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’re like an emotional sponge as you soak up the atmosphere around you, but avoid negative people who’ll just bring you down. If you have to make a decision, follow your intuition. Joanne Madeline Moore is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist. Her column appears daily in the Advocate.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid being too gung-ho today. Rams are always butting in with advice but don’t help others unless they ask you first. Everyone has their unique way of approaching problems. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The more time and energy you put into close personal relationships, the more they will flourish.

EDUCATION

Why aftercare doesn’t feel like a break from school BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

“

Heeey,” my daughter’s after-school teacher said. She had a sad smile. “I have a letter for you. There are some changes happening.” The letter informed me a new company would be providing before- and aftercare beginning at the start of the school year. Details would be forthcoming. This was our first experience with an aftercare program. We’d chosen it because it was there, in our five-year-old’s Maryland public school and the price was within our budget. I hadn’t paid much attention to what was going on beyond that. By the time I picked up our daughter, she was usually doing some kind of craft or running around. Occasionally, she was playing on an iPad, which didn’t thrill me, but she always seemed happy. She loved her teachers and almost never wanted to leave. A couple of weeks later, I was sitting at a PTA meeting, hearing a presentation about the new program, run by AlphaBest Education, a subsidiary of Kaplan Early Learning in Lewisville, North Carolina, which started out 48 years ago as a business selling furniture for day-care centers. AlphaBest serves 14,000 children in 12 states. At the meeting, a representative spoke about homework time. For those who don’t have homework, AlphaBest would provide worksheets. He also talked about enrichment activities such as calligraphy, cartooning and Lego robotics. I asked if there would be any unstructured time. “Don’t worry,” the representative told me. “Not much.” “I want unstructured time,” I said. “Me too,” said a mom behind me. What is happening here? I wondered. What about all the hand-wringing over the demise of recess and the importance of play? What about playtime outside of school hours? The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that children have at least an hour of physical activity per day. Considering that many schools have 20 minutes

‘THERE’S THIS BELIEF THAT PLAY IS A NICETY. BUT IT’S CRITICAL. FOR YOUNG CHILDREN IN PARTICULAR, IT’S HOW THEY MAKE SENSE OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM.’

of recess, if they have it at all, for kids who attend an after-school program, play there takes on added importance, child development experts say. Aftercare, which began as an extension of day care, has evolved over the past few decades into a $20 billion industry, according to the market research firm IbisWorld. Most are run by nonprofits. In addition to licensing and accreditation requirements, these programs must please many masters. School officials who see them as an extension of the school day may use them to try to raise test scores. In underserved communities, good after-school programs correlate with higher test scores and lower juvenile crime. Parents, most of whom pay an average of $114 per week, have their own demands, such as making sure homework gets done and participating in organized sports. It’s hard to argue with those priorities for the sake of a few more minutes of jumping rope or another round of four square. Unless we’re not seeing the whole picture. In the weeks after the PTA meeting, I went to AlphaBest officials with more questions and got answers that made me wonder if I had signed up my kid to be in a corporate training video. I was told about InZone time, which includes something called TechZone, and is more student-directed but “facilitated” by a “zone leader.” The AlphaBest website promised “game play tactics and webbased support to keep students moving.” Swinging on the monkey bars seemed low-rent by comparison. Today, spending time doing nothing in particular feels indulgent, even antiquated. That thinking took on a new life in the 1980s as women entered the workforce en masse. Contemporary news accounts document the rise of the latchkey kid as a kind of cautionary tale:

Juvenile crime spiked, and mental-health experts warned against the long-term effects of children left to fend for themselves for long periods. Social attitudes aside, there was a severe shortage of programs for children to attend. (There still is a huge unmet need.) Experts emphasize that there is no one-size-fitsall model for after-school programs, but a growing body of research raises questions about the emphasis on more-structured activities. It’s not an issue of play vs. learn, experts said. But evidence suggests kids learn best when they’re allowed to play. Too much intervention, said Anna Beresin, a psychologist and folklorist who has been studying children and play for three decades, can convey to children that they are not trusted to decide how an activity should go. Adults need to let go of their own agendas and, within reason, let kids express themselves. “There’s this belief that play is a nicety,” Beresin said. “But it’s critical. For young children in particular, it’s how they make sense of the world around them.” Aftercare programs can vary tremendously by school, so I spoke with a couple dozen people — administrators, aftercare teachers, children and parents — across the Washington, D.C., region about how their programs work. The message to preserve play is getting out, although unstructured time can seem like an extravagance. At the school, AlphaBest was off to a bumpy start. There was grumbling about too much homework time and not enough activities. After parents complained, outdoor play increased. Activities were added. As for the calligraphy, cartooning and Lego robotics, those had yet to materialize. There was a lot of staff turnover. As I crossed the schoolyard on a recent afternoon, I saw kids darting around, screaming, playing some type of soccer game. I spotted my daughter, jumping up and down, cheering on her friends. She waved and ran over. “How was your day?” I asked. “Fine,” she said, taking my hand. “Can we go to the park?”

comes to fruition or a problem comes to a head. Make sure you handle things in a practical and sensible fashion. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some of your motives are a mystery at the moment, but soon you’ll reveal your true colours. Is a loved one being completely honest with you? Listen closely to what your inner voice is telling you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Crabs are usually teary on a Full Moon but this one’s in earthy Taurus, so you’ll feel much more emotionally grounded. It’s time to network with friends, as you fraternize with a creative new crowd. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A complicated work issue could come to a head as the pressure builds and is then released when someone — hopefully you — takes decisive action. As you tackle the to-do list, aim to give 100 per cent today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re more experimental than usual, as the Full Moon activates your adventure zone. When communicating with a friend, make sure they understand how strongly you feel about a current issue. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If it seems like crunch time in the financial department, don’t despair! It’s just a brand new chapter. Before you make any big purchases, make sure you consult with your romantic or financial partner first. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Supermoon shines a

bright spotlight on a major close relationship. Are you giving it the time and attention it requires? Constant connection is the secret to successful partnerships at the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Full Moon lights up your work zone, so you’re keen to be in charge. But are you being the boss — or just plain bossy? Strive to utilize your Sagittarian leadership skills in clever and creative ways. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s time to nurture a rickety relationship, foster a friendship or connect with the creative Capricorn within. Don’t believe everything you hear though. Make sure you check the facts before you respond. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Supermoon signals a house move, home renovations, guests arriving or domestic dramas. So do your best to get the balance right between your professional life and your family responsibilities. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your emotions are stirred up as the Supermoon stimulates your communication zone. Allow yourself plenty of time to prepare for meetings and appointments, so you don’t end up feeling stressed. Joanne Madeline Moore is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist.
