Judge lambastes woman FOR MAKING DOWNTOWN AN UNPLEASANT PLACE TO BE FOR ORDINARY CITIZENS

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF A Red Deer judge blasted a woman in provincial court on Thursday for the role he said she has played in making the city’s downtown a less pleasant place for ordinary people to visit.

Robyn Longhorst, who had been in custody at Red Deer Remand Centre for 60 days, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to time served in relation to an incident in the city downtown, at 49th Street and 51st Ave. Crown prosecutor Jillian Brown said Longhorst, 28, approached a woman unknown to her and asked her if she had a cigarette and cash.

When the woman said she didn’t, Longhorst showed her a knife and

‘I’M NOT SURE THAT WE WANT YOU IN RED DEER. YOU’VE GOT SOME DEEP-SEATED, LONG-STANDING ISSUES . . . . THE GOOD PEOPLE OF RED DEER ARE JUST FED UP TO THEIR EYEBALLS WITH DRUG-ADDICTED CREEPS (POPULATING) THE DOWNTOWN.’ — JUDGE JIM MITCHELL

called her a “f------ liar,” said Brown.

Longhorst, who has a prior criminal record and has been treated for addictions and mental health issues, pleaded guilty to possession of a dangerous weapon and obstructing police in relation to the offence.

Other charges related to the incident were withdrawn, including assault with a weapon.

Longhorst was then released to the

care of a Red Deer County business owner, who said he would provide her with a job and a place to live.

Judge Jim Mitchell delivered a series of admonitions to the woman, including warning her about the results she can expect the next time she finds herself in the back of a police car.

“Ordinary people don’t want to go downtown because of people like you,” Mitchell told the woman. He said the

fact she has lived for a while in a seedier area of Vancouver speaks to her character.

“I’m not sure that we want you in Red Deer. You’ve got some deep-seated, long-standing issues,” he said.

“The good people of Red Deer are just fed up to their eyeballs with drugaddicted creeps (populating) the downtown.

“The RCMP in Red Deer now know you. With your record, the next time you get into the back of a police car, don’t expect to get released by police on a bail order. Expect to be headed to the remand centre again.”

Longhorst is under strict release conditions pending her return to court on Nov. 20 to face charges of theft and impersonating a police officer. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

MP Dreeshen re-introduces impersonation bill

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer MP Earl Dreeshen’s private member’s bill concerning personating an officer has returned to Parliament.

He wants judges to consider it an aggravating circumstance when sentencing someone who personated a peace officer for the purpose of committing another offence.

The bill died on the order paper when the 2011 federal election was called.

“When citizens see a police uniform, they naturally trust the authority that comes with it. Personating a police officer is a serious breach of the public’s trust and it has the same effect as using a weapon because it forces a victim

to submit,” said Dreeshen from Ottawa where Bill C-444 had first reading on Thursday.

Dreeshen put forward the private member’s bill after the 2009 abduction and sexual assault of a Penhold teen. A man who posed as a police officer stopped her outside her home and told her to get into his car, which was equipped with red flashing lights.

Gerard John Baumgarte, 57 at the time, of Red Deer, pleaded guilty to kidnapping, sexual assault and other charges.

He was given a six-month sentence for personating a police officer. The sentence runs concurrently with his 18-year prison sentence for the other charges.

The bill would amend the Criminal Code so that personating a peace officer or public officer to commit another

offence is made an aggravating circumstance for sentencing purposes.

Aggravating circumstances cause judges to impose longer sentences, up to the five-year maximum that is allowed.

In 2011, the bill received unanimous support at second reading and the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights was about to bring it back for third reading when the election was called.

Dreeshen said the bill will return for its first hour of debate in early November. Second reading will then be held in a month before voting on whether to send it to committee.

Any amendments will be addressed before third reading, after which the Senate must vote on the bill before it can become law. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Central Alberta Wildrose MLAs are angry that Progressive Conservative no-meet committee members were allowed to let other Tory MLAs help pay for their mistakes.

Each of the 61 PC caucus members agreed to pay $2,700 to help repay $194,000 paid to those members.

The all-party committee didn’t meet for more than three years but was still paid.

“It’s just a circumvention of holding people accountable, and then making other people pay for other people’s mistakes,” said Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre MLA Joe Anglin on Thursday.

The Wildrose MLA said it’s disrespecting all Albertans to say the wrong was corrected.

The PC caucus voted earlier this summer to repay the money received by 15 of their colleagues for sitting on the committee.

“Why didn’t the premier come out and tell Albertans this was how she was going to proceed?” Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Kerry Towle asked.

“If they thought it was the right thing to do then why not be open and up front about it. Why does it take a reporter to find out the payment plan changed?” the Wildrose MLA said.

She said Wildrose MLA Heather Forsyth repaid all the money she owed.

Alberta politicians mull pension options LOOKING FOR SAFEGUARDS SO TAXPAYERS AREN’T ON HOOK FOR SHORTFALLS

EDMONTON — Alberta politicians, debating three options for their new pension plan Thursday, agreed there needs to be safeguards so taxpayers aren’t on the hook for shortfalls.

“We’ve got to look at something that protects taxpayers down the road so taxpayers will never be asked to bail the plan out,” Rob Anderson of the Wildrose party said after a meeting of the all-party member services committee.

“If the benefits don’t turn out to be as high as what’s being promised in the benefit plan, it’s naive to think the government won’t just swoop in and fund it — and that means putting future taxpayers on the hook.”

The committee heard a report on the merits of three pension plans. It will make a recommendation in three weeks to the legislature, in time for the fall sitting.

The three options are a straight-up RRSP plan, a direct contribution option, and a targeted benefit plan.

Under the RRSP plan, members

would get a contribution from the government equal to nine per cent of wages.

The plan would not cost taxpayers anything to implement and run.

It would deliver an annual pension of close to $22,000 to the average MLA. Under the direct contribution plan, members would pick their investment options from a menu selected by the legislature assembly.

Both the MLA and taxpayers would kick in nine per cent of earnings. The fund would cost $65,000 to set up and $60,000 a year to run, delivering an estimated return of $23,580 per year at retirement.

The targeted benefit plan would also see both taxpayers and politicians pony up the nine per cent.

The plan carries more risk and reward on investment, costs twice as much to set up and run but is expected to deliver a conservative $18,400 per year on retirement.

Of the four parties in the legislature only the Wildrose said where it stands: the RRSP option.

Anderson said it’s the least expensive to operate and the best way to reverse the trend of public sector pensions bleeding into the red.

The other three parties will be discussing the proposals in caucus.

NDP Leader Brian Mason agreed that safeguards are needed for the targeted plan option, but said on the whole, Alberta is working in taxpayers’ interests on the pension issue, particularly when compared with the federal government.

“The taxpayer contribution to those (federal) pensions is 44.4 per cent,” said Mason.

“We’re talking about a nine-percent-taxpayer contribution, and so I think we need to put this discussion we’re having here in Alberta in perspective.”

Gene Zwozdesky, chair of the committee and a member of the Progressive Conservative caucus, agreed.

“You have to look at what the predictability is for taxpayers in making sure they aren’t on the hook for things they shouldn’t be on the hook for,” said Zwozdesky.

Fees going up for long-term care homes

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Alberta government is raising accommodation charges for residents of long-term care facilities by five per cent beginning Jan. 1.

Health Minister Fred Horne says that increase will be offset for low-income residents by increasing financial assistance through the Alberta Seniors Benefit and Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped programs.

Horne says the fee increase will “help ensure that residents continue to receive quality accommodations and related services, by helping long-term care operators meet rising accommodation costs.”

Sandra Azocar, executive director of the Friends of Medicare, says the real winners are the operators of care homes.

She says Horne’s “preoccupation with private operators’ financial bottom line” is indicative of the government’s move toward “commodification of seniors’ care.”

The Alberta Union of Public Employees says the fee hikes need to be accompanied by greater accountability.

“The government says this increase will help ensure quality accommodation and

services for seniors in longterm care,” said president Guy Smith. “But there aren’t enough mechanisms in place to ensure that operators actually put that money toward those services.”

He said Alberta Health Services funds private operators to pay their nursing staff at the same level as AHS employees doing the same job, but some operators pay lower wages and keep the difference.

“These profiteers, some of whom are millionaires, are padding their profit margins with public subsidies meant to ensure quality of care,” Smith said. “Premier Redford and Health Minister Fred Horne need to close loopholes like this.”

Horne said the fee increase balances the need for operators to address rising costs while ensuring that the charges paid by residents are reasonable.

NDP Leader Brian Mason said it’s just an opportunity for the private operators to earn higher profits.

“Meanwhile, there are nearly 1,400 seniors in this province waiting for a long-term care bed and poorly paid staff in facilities across the province are already increasing profit margins for private operators.”

“But by the same token you want to bring in something we haven’t had for a long time, and that’s a pension that can be fair for all concerned.”

Tory MLA and committee member Dave Dorward said he’d push for safeguard rules.

“We need to meet that cornerstone of having cost certainty,” said Dorward.

Derek Fildebrandt of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation urged the politicians to avoid the targeted benefit plan.

“We simply cannot trust a legislative outline to protect taxpayers in the future should there be a funding shortfall in a targeted pension plan,” said Fildebrandt.

Raj Sherman, leader of the Alberta Liberals and a committee member, has declined to vote on the issue, saying the system itself is broken.

“This is the only profession that sets its own pay,” said Sherman, adding he will continue to advocate for an independent process to set the stipend.

No charges against officers who shot man wielding axe

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — There will be no charges against two police officers who shot and killed a man who was coming towards one of them with an axe.

The head of a unit that investigates shootings involving police says officers were responding to a 911 call in Calgary’s northwest on Oct. 20, 2011, when they were met at the door by a man, who charged at one of them while carrying a large axe.

“Both police officers fired their police pistols. The 32-year-old was struck numerous times and died as a result of the injuries he received,” said Clif Purvis, executive director of the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team.

One of them fired five shots and the other one.

Purvis said one of the officers fell back and hit his head on a rock while the suspect advanced. The constable received minor injuries.

“From the time the police officers

NORTHWEST MOTORS

arrived on scene until the report of shots fired by police officers only 65 seconds had elapsed. All six shots were fired in a period of 1.8 seconds and that tells you this incident developed and was over very quickly.”

ASIRT’s investigation included interviews with the man’s family members, who were at the scene when he was shot. The individual had mental health issues and had stopped taking prescribed medication.

“I’ve determined no criminal charges will flow as a result of the conduct of the two police officers involved in this incident. Their actions were justified and they were acting lawfully,” said Purvis.

He expressed his sympathy to the victim’s family.

“This decision doesn’t diminish the tragedy of this event and the impact it will have on the friends and family of the deceased.”

Purvis said the investigation was unable to determine a motive for the attack.

A man is facing a charge of dangerous driving after he allegedly hurtled down Calgary’s busy Deerfoot Trail on his motorcycle at nearly 200 kilometres an hour.

Police say officers saw the biker enter the freeway Wednesday night and pick up speed to the point where he was clocked at 191 kilometres an hour as he weaved through traffic.

Police duty Inspector Paul Stacey says he was going so fast that motorists wouldn’t have had a chance to avoid a collision if they were changing lanes and didn’t see him coming from behind.

In Edmonton, a young man is dead after he lost control of his motorcycle Wednesday night while reportedly racing in a west-end neighbourhood.

Police say the man was killed when his body hit a road sign.

There have been 26 traffic deaths in Edmonton so far this year, including four involving motorcycles.

Albertan facing extradition on terror charges sent cash to ‘holy warriors’ Sharif is charged in the U.S. with conspiracy to kill Americans abroad and with providing material support to a terrorist conspiracy.

The Americans accuse him of being part of a terrorist network that helped a Tunisian man enter Iraq and drive and detonate a truck filled with explosives at a military checkpoint, killing the U.S. soldiers.

If convicted of terrorism charges in the United States, Sharif could face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

41231I28

EDMONTON — An Alberta man facing extradition to the United States on terrorism charges told police he sent money to a group of holy warriors in the Middle East.

Sayfildin Tahir Sharif (SAY’-fill-din TA’-here SHAW’-reef) is accused of supporting a terrorist group that took part in a suicide bombing in Iraq in 2009 that killed five American soldiers.

His extradition hearing is being held in Edmonton, where he was arrested on Jan. 19, 2011.

A videotape of a police interrogation shows that Sharif told police after his arrest that he sent $2,800 to a mujahedeen group.

Sharif, who has been held in custody since his arrest, said the money was to repay a debt.

The video was shown to determine if it can be used as evidence in the hearing, which is expected to continue until at least October.

There is no publication ban on its contents.

The video shows that RCMP Cpl. Ian Ross also questioned Sharif about counselling a young woman in Morocco named Fatima over the Internet to become a suicide bomber, asking if she wanted to go to heaven and have angels all around her.

“She was saying she wanted to die, to strap on a belt (of explosives) and die for you,” Ross says on the video.

Sharif says he was just showing off to get her attention and wanted to have a relationship with her, perhaps marry her.

He says his comments

were just talk.

“The girl is in love with me.”

Ross suggests police gleaned the information from monitored Internet conversations and information from Sharif’s computer, which officers seized when he was arrested.

Sharif tells police he just talks too much, didn’t help anyone and doesn’t believe in suicide bombers.

Sharif, an ethnic Kurd, was born in Iraq but moved to Toronto as a refugee in 1993 and became a Canadian citizen in 1997.

Chipping in, bailing out If your co-workers received pay for work they never did, for years, and then had it clawed back when discovered, would you chip in to help them cover the shortfall?

Few people would say yes.

They didn’t earn it. They don’t deserve it.

Why should you make a sacrifice under those circumstances?

Yet the entire caucus of the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta, 61 strong, dug into their pockets this summer, producing $2,700 each, for a total $164,700, to be given to their coworkers and former co-workers.

The donated cash went to MLAs and former MLAs (of the PC persuasion) who were forced to return money they received for sitting on a committee that had not met for more than three years.

“I’m really proud of the team,” Premier Alison Redford said this week.

She also said the issue wasn’t about politicians taking money they didn’t earn. “It does reflect all of our values

and I’m satisfied with the outcome.”

What nonsense. For the average Albertan, it was very much about MLAs taking money — our money — they didn’t earn. We should not be satisfied with the outcome, which suggests that party solidarity, and adherence to a faulty set of rules, take precedence over common sense.

Essentially, it tells Albertans that caucus understood the pay structure, and endorsed it for years, so they feel obliged to compensate those who were caught.

The decision was made by caucus this summer, although at the time the party’s only announcement was that every PC MLA or former MLA involved had repaid or planned to repay the money. No mention was made of the fact that their co-workers were chipping in.

Twenty-one MLAs sat on the all-par-

ty committee, 15 of whom were Tories.

They received, at a minimum, $1,000 a month in committee pay.

When the open tap was exposed by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation early this year, the committee had not met for 39 months, yet all members (including six sitting in opposition) continued to take the pay over all those months. In fact, Lacombe-Ponoka MLA Ray Prins, the chair of the committee, received an additional $500 a month for his leadership duties. In all, $194,000 had been paid to committee members for not working.

Prins, in total, made $18,000 a year for not attending committee meetings, over more than three years.

In the end, Prins and some others on the committee chose not to seek re-election. His letter of resignation said the revelations about committee pay “resulted in the media, opposition parties and the public questioning my integrity as a person and an MLA.” Redford’s election fate last spring may have hinged on her response to

the mess: her integrity was also being questioned. She ordered the money repaid, after opposition MLAs had already coughed up, and she ordered a review of MLA pay.

In June, a new MLA compensation system was approved. The system includes $134,000 in base salary, plus a clearer structure for extra responsibilities. It was proposed by retired Supreme Court of Canada justice Jack Major, who was asked by Redford to prepare a report on salaries and benefits for provincial politicians.

Going forward, that’s good news: a transparent pay structure is essential.

But we should all have a bad taste in our mouths about this.

There is no evidence that changes would have been made if the waste had not been uncovered.

And there is no evidence, based on the MLA chip-in this summer, that the PCs found the former system abhorrent.

thinker that his father used to be. As it happens, nor are the other possible contenders.

Indeed, the circumstances of Trudeau’s bid could not be more different from his father’s run 45 years ago. Back then, Pierre Trudeau came out of left field to win the leadership — and became prime minister overnight.

There is no guarantee that the next Liberal leader will ever sit on the governing side of the House of Commons. As things stand, the odds that the victor of next April’s leadership vote will one day serve in the cabinet of an NDP-led coalition government are higher than those of a swift Liberal return to power.

In the best-case scenario for the Conservatives, a Trudeau leadership victory could pave the way for a Central Canada battle to the finish between the NDP and the Liberals in the next federal election.

In Quebec, the Bloc Québécois harbours similar hopes for a division of the federalist vote.

But Stephen Harper’s strategists would not be experts at retail politics if they had not spotted at least two of their vulnerabilities to a Trudeau-led Liberal party.

His last name still resonates in many of the country’s cultural communities, in particular in Ontario; that could throw a wrench in the Conservatives’ ethnic outreach.

Jason Kenney’s decision to showcase his social conservative credentials by coming out in support of Wednesday’s abortion-related motion in the Commons may not have been just a call of religious conscience.

The message that Conservative family values are closely aligned with those of some of the country’s fastestgrowing cultural communities has been central to the immigration minister’s Tory charm offensive.

The second concern for Conservatives is that Pierre Trudeau’s record on minority-language rights could stand his son in good stead in more than six Conservative ridings outside Quebec where there is a strong concentration of francophone voters.

It is no accident that Heritage Minister James Moore is spending a lot of time interacting with those communities these days.

It is also probably not a coincidence that the Conservatives are said to be reconsidering their opposition to making the ability to function in French and English a legal requirement for all future officers of Parliament.

Some Liberals may think that their leadership campaign has barely begun, but their NDP and Conservative opponents have already factored in a Trudeau victory.

OURVIEW JOHN STEWART

Trudeau buoys Liberal hopes The oxygen is about sucked out of the Liberal leadership campaign; it will be replaced by a massive dose of helium.

Justin Trudeau’s predictable entry in the contest is expected to be made official next week.

The announcement will lift the profile of the campaign to uncommon heights — given the third-party CHANTAL status of the HEBERT Liberals — and remove much of the suspense as to its outcome.

With Trudeau in, a number of otherwise serious candidates will be inclined to stay on the sidelines and not only because the MP for Papineau will come out of the gate with a huge namerecognition lead on the competition.

The only realistic way to beat such a prohibitive front-runner would be to bring a scorched-earth approach to the battle.

With the last best hopes of so many Liberals vested in Trudeau, beating him on such aggressive terms could be a hollow victory.

After years of internal strife, few Liberals have the stomach for the public immolation of a favourite son.

Trudeau’s entry makes a run for the leadership particularly unappealing to non-francophone aspirants.

The party has a tradition of alternating between leaders from French and English Canada.

Going on a search-and-destroy mission against the best-known federal Liberal in Quebec (and in the country) and, in the process, inviting the party to bypass a francophone on the way to selecting the next leader sounds like a recipe for a fourth (and final?) election disaster.

It has become a tired cliché to say that Trudeau is not the political

No reason to remain silent over threats Fred Brittain’s response to my previous letter, regarding Canada now accepting information probably obtained under torture, attempts to challenge my position. His hypothetical scenario, however, takes the subject far from my actual statements. How is it possible to assume that I would be “holding to my principles� by remaining silent about a perceived possible threat of violent action? The foreign country planning that action is known to use torture “including Canadian citizens� Mr. Brittain proposes.

Obviously our government should already be on record as condemning this country and advising Canadians to avoid it — as it ought to. Our “homeland security� people should be fully on top of such situations, as they ought to. Right?

OK, so Mr. Brittain suggests that a courageous person within that violent government, tells a friend about a possible plot to attack a “foreign� plane.

Right away, that government person will become “disappeared,� no question. Now, the “friend� tells relatives visiting from Canada about the plot, maybe hoping they can get the information into the right hands.

Next, these relatives, my neighbours (properly terrified), return to Canada. Somehow, they have come to trust me, so I am told what they were told.

Why would Mr. Brittain assume that I would keep silent? I must trust that my security forces would be prepared to deal with this — even though it is only on TV that such a situation is resolved “in the nick of time� before the final commercials.

Fine — I now trot off to the nearest RCMP offices and tell them my (by now fourth-hand) story. Result? “We’ll look into it, madam.� I am sent home, reassured (?) while the security people smile about the dotty old lady with a shaky hold on reality — and consign my “report� to the bottom of the stack of such reports they already have.

Or (and I think this looks more like me) I accompany my reluctant and scared neighbours to the RCMP and support them as they relate what they were told.

Result? The neighbours are detained for an indefinite period while their suspicious background is investigated. Some of the information probably comes from the aforementioned detained and tortured relative. Deportation of my neighbours is not ruled out, under Canada’s current system. The original threat may be eliminated in time; but likely not, with all the cross-checking, etc. required. This sort of security work is slow, painstaking, full of legalities, and done in the safety of Canadian offices — not out there in the field of danger.

That dangerous field contains mostly ordinary people, trying to survive in places where life is cheap and human rights are non-existent. My beliefs do not put their lives at lesser value than the lives of those of us lucky enough to be Canadian-born. I truly want to believe that our airlines, our security people, and our government, are totally on top of every possible threat to Canada’s safety. However, in my real world, humans are fallible. All anyone can do is keep informed — and hold those in positions of authority to account for their actions on our behalf as Canadian citizens.

This naturally includes Canada’s recorded participation in International agreements, like the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, among others.

And that brings me back to my original position (in spite of Mr. Brittain’s attempt to sidetrack me into narrow hypotheses). I believe Canada’s government is sliding away from our global responsibilities, and diminishing my nation’s credibility.

I do not intend to pursue this paper “discussion� as I have other letters to work on, real-world situations, from Amnesty International’s files. Thank you, Mr. Brittain, for your interest.

Bike lanes are too intrusive

I am writing to say that I am against the new bike lanes being implemented around Red Deer.

The original bike lanes were on roadways that already had a wide shoulder so as not to disrupt traffic.

I cannot understand the reasoning behind taking a four-lane road + Professional Service and making it two lanes. + Medication Reviews I understand bike lanes are a good idea in + Free delivery theory but to put them + Free blister packing services on to a four-lane road + Certified Diabetes Educator and restrict the flow of traffic makes no sense Family owned & operated to me. I can see in the future when new roads for 15 years. are being built have bike 403-347-4008 lanes built into the roadway but where it takes 3831-40th Ave. away from traffic flow, Eastview Shopping Centre the bike lanes should not be installed.

MAKE A NEW BEGINNING

I was very saddened and disappointed with the council decision about bike lanes.

From my point of view, they have effectively gutted the commuting lanes to the point of irrelevance, or cancellation of the project. There is mention of a future evaluation, but how can this be anything but a farce? The lanes weren’t even in for a season and cyclists were just beginning to tentatively get onto them.

Even before the lanes were completed, I used them every work day to bicycle commute to and from work. They were safe and I never saw traffic congestion. On one recent evening commute, at about 5:15 on 55th Street, I was passed by only one vehicle, which I caught at the next red light. Seven went by

To take on such a pilot project, I think there must be a very strong bike community in the city that has the council willing to take this project on.

From talking with the city, I understand this is a two-year project, and I can not see how a pilot project is two years. In my opinion, this is unusually long for a pilot project, and very expensive also at $800,000 and from talking to City Hall, the bike lane lines are scheduled to be repainted again next year.

I told the city employee there are traffic lines on city streets that are greatly faded and the city doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to repaint them.

In conclusion, I feel the city is catering to a small community of people within the city by making the pilot project two years long and so extensive, both in the number of streets the pilot project will encompass and the expense.

I am against the bike lane project as it stands now.

The only way I would support it would be to physically add a bike lane to existing roads, and if this is too expensive, then do not put in bike lanes on existing roads.

I will be looking up who on city council voted against the bike lanes and will be supporting them in the next election.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

me between Ross and 39th Streets. I missed counting on the hill. Hardly congestion.

Perhaps the saddest part of all of this is that there even is a need for lanes. These are due to the aggressive and often illegal driving habits of a few who at best scared cyclists off their bicycles, and at worst did physical damage. Changing the reprehensible behaviour and attitude of these people may be the most difficult of all, particularly that they now apparently have the ear of council.

The gutting of the commuting bicycle lanes leaves few alternatives. The multi-use trails are very conducive to recreational riding, but rather dangerous for commuting as the commuter must contend with pedestrians, strollers, dogs, and intersections with crosswalks, which must be avoided, not to mention obscure routing.

That leaves only the option of being out in the lane in the traffic, hoping the drivers will obey the law and respect the cyclists’ privilege of the lane, the same privilege and restrictions accorded to a motorized vehicle.

Unfortunately, the laws of physics are such that even if the cyclist is not at fault, we lose, and the aggressive drivers know and generously apply that law.

Harper skips UN in favour of award

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS NEW YORK, N.Y. — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is skipping the United Nations General Assembly again this year, but he was in New York City anyway on Thursday meeting with global leaders and preparing to pick up an international statesman award.

As the world watched both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas, head of the Palestinian Authority, address the UN, Harper met with the Haitian president at a mid-town Manhattan hotel just a few blocks away.

Harper and Michel Martelly shook hands and exchanged pleasantries before getting down to the business of discussing the Canada-Haiti relationship.

The men focused on efforts to bring economic stability to the impoverished, long-suffering Caribbean island, the recipient of $1 billion in Canadian aid since 2006.

Harper also met with Henry Kissinger, the storied U.S. statesman, at his Park Avenue office. Kissinger will present Harper later Thursday with his “world statesman” award from the Appeal of Conscience

Foundation, an inter-faith peace organization.

The prime minister also sat down later in the day with Abbas, and was scheduled to meet on Friday morning with Netanyahu. The Middle East peace process was the focus of the Harper/Abbas discussions.

In the Israeli prime minister’s address to the UN on Thursday, he cautioned that Iran will soon have amassed enough enriched uranium to build a nuclear bomb, urging fellow world leaders to draw a “red line” to shut the Iranians down.

“I believe that faced with a clear red line, Iran will back down — and it will give more time for sanctions and diplomacy,” Netanyahu said.

“Red lines don’t lead to war, red lines prevent war . . . nothing could imperil the world more than a nuclear-armed Iran.”

Harper is onside with Netanyahu’s approach, and has taken a hard line against Iran. Canada recently closed its embassy in Tehran and Iran returned fire this week, issuing a travel advisory to its citizens to steer clear of Canada because it was rife with “Iranophobia.”

The Canadian prime minister was to be bestowed

with the world statesman honour at the annual Appeal of Conscience dinner at the swank WaldorfAstoria hotel. His office says he’s being recognized as “a champion of democracy, freedom, and human rights.”

Past winners include Canada’s Jean Chretien, Nicolas Sarkozy of France and former British prime minister Gordon Brown.

The event was taking place as hundreds of world leaders — absent Canada’s prime minister — gathered at the UN to discuss urgent global issues, including the situation in Syria, the ominous tensions between Israel and Iran and the eruption of antiAmerican violence in the Middle East.

Harper has faced a barrage of criticism back home for his decision to opt out of speaking to the UN again this year.

But he’s insisted it’s not standard procedure for the Canadian prime minister to address the General Assembly every year. The UN has met seven times since he was elected; Harper’s spoken twice, in 2006 and in 2010.

In his place, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird will once again address the UN on Monday

Ambrose defends vote in favour of pro-life motion

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Facing calls for her job and accused by the NDP of betraying the women she represents at the federal cabinet table, a defiant Rona Ambrose stood in the House of Commons to explain why she voted in support of a pro-life motion.

Sort of.

Asked why she was one of 10 Conservative cabinet ministers who supported backbench MP Stephen Woodworth’s motion to strike a committee to examine the definition of a human being, Ambrose responded by extolling the Conservative government’s record on funding projects for women and girls.

“It is interesting that this is the first question that I have received on the status of women file this year.

In fact, I think this is the first question I have received since last year as well,” Ambrose said during question period.

“Do you know why that is, Mr. Speaker? It is because this government has an incredible track record of standing up for Canadian women and girls.

We have increased the funding to the status of women to its highest point in Canadian history.”

The government has funded more than 500 projects to tackle violence against women and empower women and girls, she added.

Ambrose, the minister responsible for the status of women, stunned observers Wednesday when she rose to her feet in favour of Woodworth’s motion — despite the fact Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said he has no plans to reopen the abortion debate in Canada.

Though the motion was defeated 203 to 91, a tweet from Ambrose following the vote suggested it was a way to raise awareness about discrimination against girls through “sex selection abortion.”

“I have repeatedly raised concerns about discrimination of girls by sex selection abortion: no law needed, but we need awareness!” she wrote.

Ambrose’s spokeswoman, Amber Irwin, said the minister was not available for an interview this week.

The minister has come under fire from critics both inside the House of Commons and beyond, including women’s rights groups who are calling for her resignation.

New Democrat MP Libby Davies called Ambrose’s vote “very shocking.” Davies said the minister’s decision showed she was not prepared to uphold the rights of women in Canada.

“This motion was clearly about undermining women’s equality, reproductive rights. That’s been very clear from Day 1 and I think that’s how the vote was taken,” Davies said.

“So I think she can rationalize it all she wants, but as the (minister for the) status of women, she clearly betrayed the women of this country by not standing up and ensuring that we don’t let the clock be turned backwards. So I think it was disappointing, I was — I was really surprised when I saw her vote for the motion. I don’t buy her argument at all.”

OTTAWA — A teenage girl allegedly defamed on a bogus Facebook page can proceed with a lawsuit without revealing her name, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday.

The judges ruled 7-0 that the girl is entitled to anonymity to prevent her from becoming a victim a second time.

But the court also rejected her request for a publication ban on the defamation suit, as long as she is not identified in any materials made public.

The case made its way to the Supreme Court after the girl’s family appealed a Nova Scotia Court of Appeal decision.

The girl, known as A.B. in court documents, was 15 when she and her family sought a court order compelling Internet service provider Eastlink to reveal the identity of the person who had allegedly set up the fake Facebook profile about her.

The lower court granted the order, but said she couldn’t proceed with a defamation case anonymously because there is an open-court principle at stake.

The appeal court agreed.

That was a mistake, Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Abella wrote in Thursday’s decision.

“In my view, both courts erred in failing to consider the objectively discernable harm to A.B.,” she wrote.

The Halifax Chronicle Herald and Global Television originally opposed the idea of a publication ban. Global’s involvement in the case ended in 2010.

Abella said there’s no reason for a publication ban on the whole suit.

Furlong was a teacher at two Catholic schools in northern B.C., but although he has frequently spoken about his arrival as an immigrant to Canada in 1974, he has not been public about his earlier work at the schools and did not mention his work there in the autobiography released following the 2010 Games.

The former Olympic chief said he is proud of the work he has done with First Nations and his time in the north.

He suggested he didn’t include his time at the school in his book, Patriot Hearts, because the book was dedicated to the buildup and execution of the 2010 Winter Games.

Marvin Storrow, Furlong’s lawyer, said Furlong’s time in the north is well known and he has

THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — A former construction boss has delivered groundbreaking testimony about a system of corruption in the industry that saw him pay Canada’s most powerful Mafia family a 2.5 per cent cut on public contracts.

Lino Zambito told Quebec’s corruption inquiry about a cartel-like operation lording over the construction industry in the province and he said he had no choice but to participate.

He described a system that drove up the cost of public works during his testimony Thursday, perhaps the most damning to be heard at the inquiry so far.

Only certain companies were allowed to bid for public contracts, he said. They would set their prices artificially high. They reached a group decision on who would submit the lowest bid. Then they took turns winning contracts, he said.

And when it was all said and done, he said, the Cosa Nostra claimed a percentage.

Zambito said that, as far as his own company was concerned, that fee was a 2.5 per cent share of the value of a sewer project, paid to the oncedominant Rizzuto family.

The burly 43-year-old businessman shrugged off a suggestion from an inquiry lawyer that he was paying protection money.

“I saw it as more of a business. Entrepreneurs made money and there was a certain amount owed to people of,” he said and, pausing an instant before he completed his sentence, Zambito added, “the Mafia.”

Zambito said he knew where the money — delivered through a middleman — ultimately wound up.

He even defended his personal ties to the Mafia.

Zambito said his family knew the Rizzutos from the old country and said they were part of the same tight-knit community whose members helped each other out as newcomers to Canada.

His testimony shed light on allegations made three years ago in media reports that triggered demands for an inquiry that is now underway in Quebec. That inquiry is probing links between the underworld, the construction industry, and political parties.

Zambito is the first person to describe, in such exhaustive detail and so publicly, his own personal involvement in construction-related wrongdoing.

Patients Come First

REGINA — Saskatchewan’s population has had the most growth in a single year since 1921.

The province said Thursday that the latest figures from Statistics Canada show the population grew by 22,154 people between July 1, 2011 and this past Canada Day. There were 1,079,958 people living in Saskatchewan as of July 1.

The numbers show the population grew by 6,851 in the most recent quarter alone.

That’s the largest increase in a single quarter since Statistics Canada started keeping quarterly records in 1971.

“These numbers are very, very positive for the province,” said Premier Brad Wall.

“They speak to a province that’s growing and attracting people, not just from other provinces in Canada, but from around the world.”

Wall said there are challenges to maintaining growth, including housing and infrastructure.

Much of the most-recent population gain came from 4,035 people moving to Saskatchewan from other countries.

Construction boss: We rigged contracts and paid a cut to the Mafia

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

40531H10-J12

VANCOUVER — John Furlong, the man who helmed the Vancouver Olympics, has categorically denied allegations that he physically abused aboriginal students as a teacher at two northern B.C. schools decades ago, and says he plans to sue.

The allegations that Furlong hit and kicked students and verbally abused them during his time as a physical education teacher in the late 1960s and early 1970s appeared Thursday in the free Vancouver weekly Georgia Straight.

Within hours, Furlong held a news conference with his lawyer to announce legal action.

“I categorically deny absolutely any wrongdoing and I believe that the RCMP in looking into this matter will discredit the complaint entirely because it just did not happen,” Furlong told reporters.

Furlong said it was “very troubling” to read the article and the “very serious, unfounded allegations.”

The newspaper story cites eight students whose claims include that he used his foot to slam one of them down on the floor, kicked another in the buttocks, hit one person with a hockey stick and another with a yard stick, and slapped or punched them on the front or the back of the head.

One person suggested he called them “good for nothing Indians,”

many existing relationships in the communities in questions.

“Mr. Furlong bears no grudge against anyone, least of all students he coached and worked with, but now has no alternative but to use the courts to seek full and complete recourse for the damage that has been caused to him.”

Furlong suggested there is a “personal vendetta” on the part of the reporter, Laura Robinson.

Robinson could not immediately be reached for comment.

The Georgia Straight posted a statement on its website saying Storrow did not make Furlong available to respond to Robinson’s questions.

“She also attempted without success to reach Mr. Furlong through his publisher, Douglas & McIntyre. Ms. Robinson was told that Mr. Furlong had ‘nothing more’ to say to her,” the statement said.

Furlong said that even before the Games began, he had spoken to the RCMP. “On the very first occasion that this was brought to my attention prior to the Olympic Games, I was advised that for a payment it could be made to go away and, as such, I reported the matter to police,” a grim-faced Furlong said at a news conference at which he took no questions because the matter is now a matter for the courts.

RCMP confirmed they are aware of the allegations and are investigating, but would comment no further.

Thursday was reminiscent of the role played by advertising exec Jean Brault several years ago at the federal sponsorship inquiry — that of a businessman blowing the whistle on wrongdoing in which he personally participated.

The scope of the alleged corruption being discussed at the Quebec inquiry potentially dwarfs the sums involved in the sponsorship scam, which rattled federal politics.

In this case, according to a police officer who testified at the Quebec inquiry, the Mafia has imposed a so-called “tax” of up to 30 per cent on the construction industry in the province.

Israel urges U.S. to draw ‘red line’ for Iran ISRAELI FOREIGN MINISTRY SAYS SANCTIONS HITTING IRAN HARD, CALLS FOR ANOTHER ROUND OR MEASURES

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM — A new Israeli government report published in local media on Thursday concludes that international sanctions are hitting Iran hard and called for another round, adding a new wrinkle to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that tougher action is needed to prevent the Islamic Republic from developing nuclear weapons.

The Foreign Ministry report — which surfaced on the same day Netanyahu made his case before the UN General Assembly — adds to the cacophony of voices coming out of Israel over the showdown with Iran.

The prime minister argues that an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities may be the only answer to what he calls a fanatical and intransigent Iranian leadership.

President Shimon Peres and others want to give punishing measures more time to persuade the Iranians to enter negotiations.

Four rounds of UN sanctions have already been placed on Iran, which insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

Netanyahu has acknowledged that sanctions against Iran are biting but says they have not deterred Tehran from abandoning its nuclear program.

He has instead urged the U.S. to draw “red lines” that would make clear which conditions would provoke an American strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities — a demand that Washington has rejected.

Netanyahu reiterated his position on the global stage at the U.N. on Thursday. “For over seven years the international community has tried sanctions with Iran, under the leadership of President Obama, the international community has passed some of the

strongest sanctions to date,” Netanyahu said. “It’s had an effect on the economy, but we must face the truth, sanctions have not stopped Iran’s nuclear program either.”

The report, according to details published in the Haaretz newspaper, found that Iran’s oil exports declined by more than 50 per cent in the past year — from 2.4 million barrels a day to 1 million — and oil revenues dropped by $40 billion since the beginning of the year.

An Israeli foreign ministry official confirmed the report and said it recommended that another round of sanctions should be imposed. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss internal government documents, refused to elaborate further.

The Foreign Ministry based the findings on data received from countries that have embassies in Iran, according to Haaretz.

The report also claims that sanctions on Iran’s central bank have made it difficult for the regime to access its foreign currency reserves, and bread, meat and electricity prices have soared because of the sanctions.

It tracks other findings on the effect of sanctions.

According to the International Energy Agency, Iran’s crude oil production fell from nearly 4 million barrels a day in May to 2.9 million barrels a day in July. Imports of Iranian oil by major consumers dropped to 1 million barrels a day in July from 1.74 million barrels a day in June.

Iran relies on crude oil exports for about 80 per cent of its foreign revenue.

Speaking on an Iranian TV talk show earlier this month, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad admitted that the West’s sanctions have curbed oil

exports and limited banking — and the banking embargo has made it difficult to supply meat and other basic needs.

“There are barriers in transferring money, there are barriers in selling oil,” said Ahmadinejad. “We are going ahead, and God willing we will succeed.”

In Tehran, food prices have risen sharply since the summer, with a 1.5 kilogram (52-ounce) tub of yogurt doubling in price to about 24,000 rials (87 cents) since early September.

On Wednesday, the moderate Shargh newspaper used Central Bank reports to estimate the prices of meat and rice, both staples of Iranian kitchens, have risen 48 per cent and 34 per cent, respectively, since last year.

Parliament speaker Ali Larijani said inflation has risen to 29 per cent, newspapers reported.

According to Haaretz, Israel’s Foreign Ministry believes that Iranian citizens are blaming their leaders for the sanctions, and believe another round of sanctions could tip the balance and push Iran to negotiate a compromise on its nuclear program. The anonymous senior Israeli ministry official quoted in Haaretz did not explain how the ministry had reached those conclusions.

A poll published in Haaretz Thursday underlined jitters in Israel over the possibility it may strike Iran’s nuclear program to prevent it from advancing.

Fifty per cent of Israelis polled said they feared the existence of their country was in danger if a war with Iran erupts, and 56 per cent said they thought there was a high or medium chance that war could break out next year.

The survey, conducted by pollster Camile Fuchs, questioned 502 Israelis and had a margin of error of 4.2 per cent.

Nazi writings fail to sell at auction NEW HAVEN, Conn.

— A auction house says the love letters and other pre-war writings of Adolf Hitler propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels have failed to sell.

Alexander Historical Auctions says it offered the letters, school papers and dramatic works of Goebbels on Thursday. The collection spans the period from Goebbels’ childhood to shortly before he joined the Nazi party in 1924.

Auction officials had hoped it would sell for more than $200,000.

Auction house president Bill Panagopulos says an overseas phone bidder made an offer that was too low and he’s disappointed. He says the collection will remain for sale, possibly at a lower price once he talks to the owner.

Voting FOR TELUS’ proposal is in your interest and fair for both common and non-voting shareholders: Supports the increased value to both classes of shares, which immediately jumped in value on the initial announcement. The shares are up 16% and 17% respectively for the period February 21, 2012 (the date we first announced our intent to combine our share classes) through to August 29, 2012, despite the TSX index being down by 5% during this same time period Increases the availability and marketability of TELUS’ common shares for the benefit of all shareholders Responds to feedback from shareholders to simplify our company’s share structure Reflects Scotia Capital’s fairness opinion, which concluded that a one-for-one-exchange ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to both common and non-voting shareholders, respectively Who is opposing the proposal?

Mason Capital, a New York-based hedge fund manager, wants to defeat the proposal and thereby widen the spread in price between the common and non-voting shares. This outcome would enable Mason Capital to exit their position in TELUS and realize a significant and self-serving profit, regardless of the negative impact on shareholder value and lost benefits. By buying and also short-selling a large amount of our shares, Mason Capital has accumulated voting power equal to approximately 19% of the common shares that is vastly disproportionate to their actual economic interest in TELUS, which, as last reported, represents 0.02% of TELUS’ outstanding shares.

NEW YORK — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged China’s top diplomat on Thursday to peacefully resolve increasingly tense maritime disputes with Japan and its smaller neighbours in Southeast Asia.

A senior U.S. official said Clinton pressed Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi on the importance of settling a conflicting claim with Japan over the Japanese-held Senkaku islands, called Diaoyu by China, along with numerous competing claims in the South China Sea with members of the Association of South East Asian Nations.

“We urged that cooler heads prevail, that Japan and China engage in dialogue to calm the waters,” the official said.

“We believe that Japan and China have the resources, have the restraint, have the ability to work on this together and take tensions down.”

The official was not authorized to publicly discuss the private discussion between Clinton and Yang on the sidelines of the annual U.N. General Assembly and therefore requested anonymity. Clinton was expected to make the same case to Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba when she meets with him in New York.

The territorial spat has raised tensions between Japan and China to their highest level in years.

Ravens beat up on Browns REGULAR REFS WELCOMED BACK BY FANS WHO WATCH RAVENS ROLL OVER WINLESS BROWNS JASON VARITEK

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VARITEK JOINS OFFICE

Ravens 23 Browns 16 BALTIMORE — The regular NFL officials returned to action, and the ending of their first game was eerily familiar to the one that hastened the exit of the replacement refs.

This time, however, there were no replays or arguments at the end. Just another win by the Baltimore Ravens over the Cleveland Browns, 23-16 on Thursday night.

If not for two failed desperation passes into the end zone in the closing seconds, the returning officials might have had to work overtime on their first night back.

Cleveland began its final drive with 1:05 to go on its own 10. Rookie Brandon Weeden moved the Browns to the Baltimore 33 before a fourth-down pass into the end zone fell incomplete. But a personal foul penalty on Baltimore linebacker Paul Kruger gave winless Cleveland one more chance.

That pass sailed out of the end zone.

“Too much juice,” Weeden lamented.

The final sequence was not unlike the controversial ending of Monday night’s Green Bay-Seattle game, when a Hail Mary pass was ruled a touchdown.

That play, and the furor it created, hastened negotiations that brought the regular officials back.

The lockout ended late Wednesday, bringing about the exit of the unpopular replacement refs.

And so, finally, the tenured officials were in place for Week 4.

“I felt so bad for that Green Bay situation,” Ravens running back Ray Rice said.

“Replacement refs, their families, I can’t knock them. The scrutiny they were under. That kind of scrutiny is bad. It’s hard going from like Pop Warner to the big leagues.”

As they walked onto the field hours before this game, the officiating crew received a round of applause and shouts of encouragement from fans in the lower sections. Head linesman Wayne Mackie and line judge Jeff Seeman both tipped their caps to acknowledge the support.

And then, before the pregame coin flip, referee Gene Steratore greeted the players at midfield by saying, “Good evening, men, it’s good to be back.”

Many in the sellout crowd of 70,944 stood and roared their approval.

Afterward, Ravens coach John Harbaugh echoed the sentiment of the crowd.

“Welcome back to the officials. Good to have them back,” he said. “These guys are really good. The communication was good. I didn’t agree with every call, but they were excellent.”

Joe Flacco went 28 for 46 for 356 yards, threw one touchdown and ran for another.

The Red Sox have named Jason Varitek a special assistant to the general manager. The catcher announced his retirement on March 1 after 15 seasons with the team following a trade from the Seattle Mariners. At Wednesday night’s home finale, Varitek was among players honoured as members of the “All Fenway Park Team” during a pregame ceremony that capped a year of celebrations for the ballpark’s 100th anniversary. He was named the secondstring catcher behind Carlton Fisk. Varitek served as Red Sox captain from Dec. 24, 2004 until his retirement.

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice tries to break free from Cleveland Browns defensive end Jabaal Sheard during the second half of the football game in Baltimore, Thursday.

Cougars win big over Wetaskiwin

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Cougars 55 Sabres 13 The Notre Dame Cougars had little difficulty rolling to a 55-13 victory over the Wetaskiwin Sabres in Central Alberta High School Football League nonconference play at Great Chief Park Thursday.

But really the final score didn’t mean much to either team.

Both coaches went to the bench early, giving their younger players plenty of playing time.

“Mission accomplished,” said Cougars head coach Gino Castellan. “We got everyone into the game and our Grade 10s got a lot of playing time. That’s why I like these non-conference games.”

One of those Grade 10s was backup quarterback Keegan MacDonald, who replaced start-

er Kieran Pruden in the second quarter.

“I thought Keegan showed a lot of grit and we’re pleased with what we saw,” said Castellan.

Pruden, who connected on nine of 11 pass attempts for 195 yards before giving way to MacDonald, was all smiles when talking about his protégé.

“It was great to see Keegan, and the other guys making plays,” said Pruden. “I’ve been helping him out a lot and he’s making great progress . . . he looks like a natural.”

MacDonald connected on six of 12 passes for 72 yards and ran five times for 24 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown romp on the final play of the first half, making the score 49-13.

Castellan also appreciated the fact Sabres head coach Kevin Gibson, played his younger players and played hard to the final whistle.

“I’ve known Kevin for a long

time and his players play hard and will keep playing.”

Gibson said the same about Castellan.

“We went into this game knowing right off the bat we would be using a lot of younger kids and to Gino’s credit they did the same thing,” Gibson said.

“This wasn’t a rivalry game, or competitive, but that’s OK. It was a matter of getting the young kids time.”

One of those players is backup quarterback Aaron Abrahamson, who replaced starter Josh Saddleback.

“Aaron is our future at quarterback and has a strong arm.

He overthrew some guys, but that’s a coach’s dream. Some kids throw the ball short, while we can work on pulling him in a bit.”

The Sabres have a 1-1 record in conference play this season, a plus over the last two years.

“We didn’t win for two years

so last week (a 15-3 win over Camrose) was big. It brought some success to the program, and even today we had some success. It was like a preseason game and you can eliminate the scoreboard.”

Pruden also liked what he saw.

“We’ve made a lot of progress from the beginning of the season . . . I’d say especially our O-line,” he said.

“They give me time to pass and open a lot of holes for Myles (Corsiatto).”

Corsiatto also saw limited playing time and finished with 61 yards on six carries and scored two touchdowns.

“Myles has been great, he opens up a lot of things for our passing game,” said Pruden, who has depth among the receivers.

“I can go to our last guy and trust him.”

son will face his old Lion teammate Buck Pierce in this game. Pierce was a surprise in his return from injury after he took apart the Hamilton defence for a big win against the Tiger Cats. It is no secret that the CFL is a quarterback-driven league and Pierce’s successful command of the Bomber offence proves this rule.

The Bomber defence made life very difficult for Hamilton’s Henry Burris in that last game and I expect that Toronto’s Jackson will also be under a lot of pressure in this contest. Look for a Bomber victory at home in front of a noisy, large and very enthusiastic crowd.

A noisy, large and enthusiastic crowd will also be found in Saskatchewan on Saturday night when the Roughriders host the Lions, but they will not be enough to ensure a Rider victory. B.C.’s defence likes to apply enormous pressure on the quarterback and I doubt whether Rider pivot Darian Durant can handle the heat.

Durant had a good game for three quarters against the Stamps because he faced little pressure from the Calgary defence.

The pressure came in the fourth when Calgary started to battle back and had an opportunity to win it late in the game when the Rider offence went into conservative sleep mode. This game was eerily reminiscent of earlier games this year when the Riders squandered huge leads late in the second half and blew games.

Underwood fills important role NEW REBELS ACQUISITION HOPES TO ADD LEADERSHIP TO DEFENCE

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR

WHERE ARE THEY NOW Kraymer Barnstable was a popular member of the Rebels during the only season — 200910 — he stopped pucks in Red Deer. The always upbeat Barnstable posted a 3.32 goalsagainst average and .888 save percentage in 27 regular-season games while playing backup to Darcy Kuemper.

He was released the following season and was a starting goaltender with Lloydminster of the SJHL as a 20-year-old.

The Kelowna native is entering his second CIS season with the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds.

WHO’S HOT Portland Winterhawks C Nicolas Petan has taken an early lead in the WHL scoring race with eight points (4g, 4a) in three games. The 17-yearold product of Delta, B.C., had 14 goals and 35 points in his rookie season of 2011-12.

Lethbridge Hurricanes D Spencer Galbraith, 19, has racked up a leagueleading 19 minutes in penalties through three games.

“I’m a pretty accomplished juggler, so if this whole hockey thing doesn’t turn out I can always join the circus in some sort of clown gig. Right now hockey is the main priority, but if I can entertain the guys with some tricks and juggling, it’s all fun.”

— Red Deer Rebels RW and amateur magician Jesse Miller.

For Brandon Underwood, the pain of leaving the Regina Pats was tempered by the realization that he was headed to another respected franchise.

“At first I was a little shocked. Getting traded is always a little tough, but when I heard it was Red Deer I was really e x c i t e d , ” Brandon the 20-year- Underwood old defenceman said on Thursday, roughly 48 hours after being dealt by the Pats to the Rebels.

“I’m excited about spending my last year in the league in a good spot like this.”

Underwood, who cost the Rebels a fourth-round pick in the 2013 WHL bantam draft, played three seasons in Kamloops before being dealt to Regina for the 2011-12 season.

“Playing with Regina last year, I saw a bit of Red Deer so I kind of knew what it was about.

And when I was in Kamloops we came here a few times,” he said.

“I was really excited when I heard I was coming here. I know it’s a good city with good fans and the facilities here are the nicest I’ve seen. I’m really happy to be here.”

Rebels general manager Brent Sutter acquired Underwood to help stabilize a relatively young and inexperienced defensive corps. The product of San Marcos, Calif., is eager to deliver.

“First off, I think I bring

He’s a guy who has been through the grind of the league and understands the perspective of a young defenceman, and he can help these guys learn and grow.”

The acquisition of Underwood gives the Rebels four overage players, one over the league limit. Forwards Turner Elson, Adam Kambeitz and Charles In-

glis are the other 20-year-olds and one of the four will have to be moved before or on the Oct. 10 deadline. ● Underwood played his minor hockey in the California Wave program as well as with the Los Angeles Junior Kings.

“I finally went down there (Pittsburgh) for awhile earlier this month, found a place to live and got to know the guys and stuff like that. Now I have to sit and wait. I’m anxious to get going but we just have to be patient with this and hopefully we can find the right deal.”

When the last NHL lockout occurred in 2004-05, Fraser was just completing his final season with the Rebels and Sutter was coming aboard on a five-game trial as a 15-year-old.

“It’s a whole new thing for me,” said Sutter.

“I’ve never been home at this time of the year since I played junior here. It’s kind of a different feeling. I guess there are worse places to be than home, but I think over the next couple of weeks here I’m going to start getting antsy.

“We’ll see how it goes. This is a place to skate and it’s nice to skate with these guys and stay in shape and try to stay sharp, so that part has worked out perfectly.”

Fraser is also grateful for the ice time, but moves away from the pack when various game-day tactics are discussed during the practice sessions.

“They’re trying to do business here, I just try and stay out of the way when they’re doing systems and line drills,” he said. “It’s nice to have some structure and being out there with the players brings back memories. Hanging out with the guys is fun, it makes me feel young again. Not that I’m that old.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

leadership,” said Underwood.

“I think that’s the main thing — being a good guy in the room, a good mentor for the guys and a reliable guy on defence who can play physical, can play tough and lead on and off the ice.”

Underwood, who last winter scored three goals and garnered 13 points in 54 regular-season games with Regina, should be a nice complement to a promising — albeit green – group of Red Deer defencemen.

“It looks like there’s some good young guys here. Obviously, you have Matt Dumba who’s a pretty dynamic player,” said Underwood. “I think I can add to that. I know what kind of player I am, just a solid, reliable guy who likes to mix it up a bit here and there. I’m really excited to work with the guys and get started tomorrow (tonight, versus the visiting Medicine Hat Tigers).”

Rebels head coach Jesse Wallin has watched Underwood in action since the blueliner entered the league in 2008 and is confident he can fill an important role with the Rebels.

“He brings that steading influence,” said Wallin. “He’s a veteran guy who brings a lot of size, he’s a huge player. He’s a tough guy to play against but he’s really going to provide that steadying influence back there with the young guys we have.

“We see him playing with (rookie) Haydn Fleury, he’s going to be a mentor for him and the other young guys back there.

He’ll bring a calming influence as a guy who can play some minutes and settle things down once the younger guys start running around and the tempo gets up a bit. He’s a big, strong guy and he’s going to be a presence on our back end.”

Most importantly, Underwood is a proven commodity.

Pre-season games scrapped as sides set to resume talks NHL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The NHL’s collective bargaining talks are set to restart with a session that is likely to run through the weekend.

And with the league announcing the cancellation of the remainder of the pre-season on Thursday, negotiations will have to pick up steam to prevent the loss of meaningful games.

The league and NHL Players’ Association have blocked off Friday, Saturday and Sunday for meetings in New York after spending more than two weeks away from the bargaining table.

The talks resume with the scheduled Oct. 11 start to the regular season drawing near. A deal would likely have to be struck by the middle of next week in order for the league to avoid the cancellation of games that count in the standings.

The NHL and NHLPA last met for formal negotiations on Sept. 12 — three days before the lockout was enacted —

and exchanged proposals on the economics that govern the sport. Both of those offers have since expired.

As part of their decision to resume negotiations, the sides agreed to revisit the secondary issues that will have to be ironed out in the new CBA. Those include, but aren’t limited to, grievance procedures, travel, medical care, and pensions and benefits.

There was a small hint of optimism in the air with talks set to resume. On Monday, deputy commissioner Bill Daly told reporters he wanted the reopening of talks to happen this week.

“Obviously, we’ve got to talk before you can get a deal, so I think it’s important to get the talks going again,” said Daly. “But you also have to have something to say. I think it’s fair to say we feel like we need to hear from the players’ association in a meaningful way because I don’t think that they’ve really moved off their initial proposal, which was made more than a month ago now.”

A source indicated that the union wasn’t planning to head back to the bargaining table with a proposal in hand.

Notre Dame Cougar Jordan Briault gets tackled by a Wetaskiwin Sabres player during first quarter action at Great Chief Park during high school football action Thursday night. The Cougars went on to win the game by a big margin, 55-13.

STORIES FROM B1

BIG: Looked sharp Pruden has looked sharp throwing the ball plus he’s rolling out and throwing on the run more this season.

“We use more of a spread offence this year and I worked on my quickness and mobility.”

Jordan Briault caught four passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns for the Cougars while Brad Podloski and Mike Malin added single majors. Luis Moreno kicked seven converts and field goals of 21 and 33 yards.

Joel Bishop, on a 70-yard pass from Saddleback, and Josh Jorstad, on a 95-yard kickoff return, had touchdowns for the Sabres. Dallas McMurer kicked a convert.

Colin LaGrange had 58 yards rushing on 11 carries for Notre Dame while Bishop had three catches for 116 yards. ● In conference play the Sylvan Lake Lakers downed the visiting Lacombe Rams 31-21.

The Lakers led 28-0 before the Rams found the scoreboard in the third quarter.

Tyson Maton scored twice for the Lakers on a 23-yard interception return and an 88-yard pass play while Tyler Ledwos scored on a 14-yard run and Shon Zenert on a 18-yard romp. Morgan Drews kicked four converts and Brian Vaillancourt added a 24-yard field goal.

Dakota Haarstad scored on a 20-yard interception for the Rams, who got other majors from Todd Wendt, on a one-yard run, and Adam Goode, on a 13-yard run.

Austin Ericson had three converts.

Zenert led the Lakers with 68 yards rushing on 12 carries while Carter Waldbauer had 42 yards on 11 carries for the Rams.

Chase Hoffman completed 11 of 17 passes for 229 yards for Sylvan Lake with Ledwos grabbing five for 71 yards and Maton four for 152. Ericson completed 11 of 20 passes for the Rams with Jacob Bailey hauling in seven for 69 yards.

League action continues tonight as Camrose visits Rocky Mountain House, Stettler is at Ponoka and Hunting Hills meets Lindsay Thurber at 7:30 p.m. at Great Chief Park. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

CFL: Exert Expect B.C. to exert massive pressure from their front seven, along with heat from their secondary during the game.

These are not ideal conditions for Durant to succeed and I suspect that his hip injury will make him a sitting duck for the Lions. Look for a Lions victory on Saturday night in the last game of the weekend.

The Blue Jays took a two-run lead in the third on Lawrie’s 10th homer of the season that followed a one-out walk by Anthony Gose. Gose was prominent in left field in the fourth.

He ran down a drive to the wall in left centre hit by Nick Swisher and then threw to second baseman Kelly Johnson who in turn threw to first baseman Adam Lind to double up Robinson Cano at first base to end the inning.

Gose was a factor on the offensive side in the fifth, leading off with a single. Colby Rasmus bunted for a single with one out and Encarnacion scored both runners with a double to right.

Yet, it wasn’t until Cary Williams returned an interception 63 yards for a score at the end of the third quarter that the Ravens (3-1) put some distance between themselves and the young Browns (0-4).

“I thought our secondary made plays that had to be made, especially at the end there when they were knocking at the door,” Harbaugh said.

“Cary Wiliams was the difference in the game with the interception return for a touchdown.”

The fans waited until the third quarter to boo the officials. On a 13-yard completion from Weeden to Benjamin Watson, Ravens safety Bernard Pollard was called for a helmet-to-helmet hit. The crowd jeered the call, but replays appeared to confirm the penalty.

The 15-yard markoff set up a 51-yard field goal by Phil Dawson that got the Browns within 1610.

Late in the quarter, Williams ambushed an out pattern by Travis Benjamin and took the interception down the right sideline for a 13-point lead.

It was the 13th consecutive home win for the Ravens, the longest current run in the NFL, and their streak of 10 straight wins in the division is also the most of any team.

Baltimore has also won nine straight over Cleveland.

Anquan Boldin caught nine passes for 131 yards, and Torrey Smith had six catches for 97 yards and a score.

Weeden went 25 for 52 for 320 yards, but rookie running back Trent Richardson gained only 47 yards rushing on 14 carries. Dawson kicked field goals of 51, 50 and 52 yards, the last one with 4:33 left to make it 23-16.

It’s the third time since 1998 that the Browns have lost their first four games. They finished 2-14 in 1999 and 5-11 in 2009.

Coach Pat Shurmur applauded the performance of the refs, and acknowledged he deserved an unsportsmanlike conduct call in the fourth quarter.

“I can’t do that,” he said. “It’s an emotional game, and I got to make sure I keep my emotions in check.”

Cleveland played the majority of the game without wide receiver and punt returner Joshua Cribbs, who sustained a concussion while re-

turning a kick late in the first quarter.

Cribbs had his helmet knocked off and lost the handle on the ball after absorbing a hard hit by Dannell Ellerbe. It was legal tackle, shoulder to helmet, and the officials did not call a penalty. Cribbs lay prone for several minutes before finally rising to his feet and walking off the field.

Flacco went 16 for 26 for 186 yards and a touchdown to stake the Ravens to 9-7 halftime lead.

NOTES: Former Browns and Ravens RB Jamal Lewis was inducted in Baltimore’s Ring of Honor. ... Cleveland safeties Tashaun Gipson and Usama Young both sustained knee injuries. ... Dawson is the seventh player in NFL history to kick three FGs of at least 50 yards in a game.

NFL: Made plays

Jays 6 Yankees 0 TORONTO — Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., hit a two-run home run and right-hander Brandon Morrow pitched seven shutout innings on Thursday as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees 6-0.

Edwin Encarnacion went 3-for-4 with three runs batted in, two on a fifth-inning double, as the Blue Jays (69-87) opened a seven-game home stand to close their season.

J.P. Arencibia hit his 18th homer of the season in the eighth against reliever David Aardsma.

The loss cut the Yankees (90-66) lead to one game over the inactive Baltimore Orioles in the American League East.

Morrow (9-7) held the Yankees to four hits and three walks while strik-

ing out three to gain his first victory since Aug. 31. He had two losses in his previous four starts.

Right-hander Ivan Nova (12-8), the Yankees starter, allowed six hits, including Lawrie’s thirdinning homer, two walks and four runs in 4 2/3 innings.

Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar received a few boos from the crowd in his first at-bat in the first but there was little crowd reaction to him after that.It was his first appearance in Toronto since the club suspended him for three games last week for writing a homophobic slur on his eyeblack for a game at Rogers Centre against Boston on Sept. 15.

The eyeblack incident had created some backlash among Toronto baseball fans before Thursday’s game, however. An online petition asking the Blue Jays to

Both sides know each other well in stacked Ryder Cup

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEDINAH, Ill. — The question used to come up every other year when the Americans began looking ahead to the Ryder Cup. “Who’s their Peter Baker?”

Europe always had at least one player the Americans didn’t know anything about until losing to him.

Baker played in only one Ryder Cup, going 3-1 in 1993 and winning a singles match against Corey Pavin, one of the toughest guys to beat in match play.

Those days are gone. As golf has expanded its borders, the Ryder Cup no longer has any mystery guests.

Eight of the Europeans have joint membership on the PGA Tour, and all eight have homes in Florida.

Luke Donald of England, who has the best winning percentage of anyone at Medinah, lives about 45 minutes away on the north side of Chicago. The only Ryder Cup rookie for Europe is Nicolas Colsaerts, the big hitter from Belgium. With the majors and World Golf Championships, he already has played eight times in America this year, and has been invited to play in a PGA Tour event in two weeks in California.

There are no surprises in this Ryder Cup, only stars.

“Both teams are pretty much even and it’s going to be a close match,” European captain Jose Maria Olazabal said. “I don’t see any favourites.”

When the matches get under way Friday at Medinah, they will feature the two strongest teams in the 85-year history of the Ryder Cup. The entire 12-man team for the United States was part of the 30-man field at the Tour Championship last week in Atlanta, joined by five of the seven Europeans who were eligible.

For the first time, the 24 players from both sides are among the top 35 in the world ranking.

Europe has four major champions and four players who have been No. 1 in the world. Three of the four rookies for the U.S. team have won majors in the last 13 months — Keegan Bradley, Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson. The Americans have experience at the top — Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk collectively have played in 21 Ryder Cups and 90 matches. The Europeans have experience where it matters — winning.

It all starts to unfold Friday morning before a raucous crowd in the Chicago suburbs with a Ryder Cup that has all the trappings of a heavyweight prize fight. About the only thing missing has been fodder for the tabloids. Familiarity in this event is breeding civility, not contempt.

THE CANADIAN PRESS BANGKOK, Thailand — Milos Raonic advanced to the quarterfinals at the Thailand Open on Thursday with a 7-6 (3), 6-4 win over Ivo Karlovic.

The 21-year-old third seed from Thornhill, Ont., will return to the court today to face 2010 finalist Jarkko Nieminen. It will be Raonic’s first ever meeting with the Finn.

“It will be a tough match, he’s played well here in the past,” Raonic said.

“I need to keep my focus and hope to play as well as I did today.”

The second-round match between two of the biggest servers in the game was surprisingly short on firepower, with the indoor match turning into a war of attrition.

Raonic, who had a bye in the first round, fired eight aces in the 90-minute match. Karlovic responded with five.

Raonic is playing the autumn ATP Asian swing and will compete in the Rakuten Japan Open in Tokyo next week.

Europe’s Martin Kaymer, left, talks to Sergio Garcia during a practice round at the Ryder Cup PGA golf tournament Thursday at the Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Ill. Thousands of fans dressed in red, white or blue have crammed into Medinah over the last few days, yelling chants of “U.S.A! U.S.A!” when they see the Americans walk to the first tee or onto the driving range.

As the matches drew closer to starting, there was chirpiness to the chatter. The Americans felt as though Europe had some of its official party in the grandstand behind every hole, watching to see how the Americans practice and even counting off the steps by a caddie to figure out potential hole locations.

Raonic reaches quarters in Bangkok

“This is not a war. It’s a golf watch,” U.S. captain Davis Love III said. “It’s a friendly golf match.”

It wasn’t always that way, especially when Europe began to win and then the Americans started to care.

Seve Ballesteros was the spiritual leader of those European teams, using the Ryder Cup as a chance for them to prove they were not second-class citizens to the PGA Tour. And it didn’t help when the marketing slogans promoted a contentious week, whether it was the “War on the Shore” or the “Battle at Brookline.”

By the sound of so many players, they might as well be cuddling in Chicago.

“Love Ian Poulter to death,” Watson said Wednesday.

Most evident about this shift in the Ryder Cup was Monday afternoon at an airport some 45 minutes away. Olazabal flew over from London with the gold Ryder Cup trophy. Only three players from his team travelled with him, because the rest already were in America. Paul Lawrie, back after a 13-year absence in the Ryder Cup, remembers 11 players on the plane when they travelled to Boston in 1999. The exception was Jesper Parnevik, who had moved to Florida years earlier.

“I think there’s definitely less of a ’them-and-us’ type of thing now from everybody’s point of view,” Lee Westwood said. “The players play with each other a lot more regularly since the start of the World Golf Championships, and the fact that the top world-ranked players get pulled together a lot more regularly. There’s a feeling that the crowd knows the European players a lot better.”

Not long after the Presidents Cup began in 1994, the International team complained that they should have a home game instead of always playing in America. Fred Couples suggested moving the matches to Lake Nona in Florida, where most of the international players lived. Now, there are five Europeans at Lake Nona — Poulter, Graeme McDowell, Justin Rose and Peter Hanson are permanent residents, and Sergio Garcia also has a home there.

The mere suggestion that the Ryder Cup turns soft was enough to make Poulter shudder.

“It means too much,” Poulter said. “It means too much to Europe. It means too much to us for it to ever lose that edge.”

Not even Medinah figures to produce much of an advantage to the Americans. About half the members on each team played in the PGA Championship on this tree-lined course in 2006, and so many of them play an American brand of golf these days, anyway.

They are used to fast greens. Love has ordered the rough to be cut down to help his power hitters, but Europe has its share of power.

The difference figures to be the home crowd.

Eskimos QB Nichols prepares for first CFL start B Y THE CANADIAN PRESS

“According to the Saskatchewan fans, I should be in jail right now,�

Cornish said. “Apparently that’s indecent exposure.�

The Stamps had their own quarterback drama with fears Glenn suffered a concussion due to a hard hit from Saskatchewan’s Odell Willis late in the game.

Glenn, 33, says he passed concussion tests and no longer suffers headaches.

Bo Levi Mitchell, also a quarterback at Eastern Washington after Nichols, will be Glenn’s backup.

Drew Tate will be in a Calgary uniform for the first time since dislocating his non-throwing shoulder in the second game of the season and undergoing surgery.

The 27-year-old Texan wasn’t expected to return before the end of the regular season. Tate may be Calgary’s third-stringer Friday, but he says wearing red and white on the sidelines instead of street clothes means his healing is ahead of schedule.

Calgary and Edmonton this month. The Stampeders edged Esks 31-30 on Labour Day and won the rematch four days later by two points.

Edmonton is at the bottom of the CFL’s West Division at 5-7, while the Stamps — second in the West Division at 7-5 — can claim the season series against Edmonton with a victory Friday. “It’s crazy that you have to play a team three times within a month but they did the schedule and we’ve got to live with it,� said Stamps quarterback Kevin Glenn.

It hasn’t been a comfortable week for Calgary. A four-game winning streak ended Sunday when they played sloppily in a 30-25 loss to the Roughriders.

Star running back Jon Cornish was fined an undisclosed amount by the league and publicly admonished by his coach John Hufnagel for pulling his pants down and “mooning� Roughrider fans at Mosaic Stadium.

CALGARY — The Edmonton Eskimos hope the man who was their thirdstringer to start this season can produce a storybook first CFL start.

Mired in a four-game losing streak, the Eskimos will look to quarterback Matt Nichols for much-needed relief when they visit the Calgary Stampeders on Friday. “Matt is a decisive decision-maker,�

Edmonton head coach Kavis Reed said Thursday at McMahon Stadium. “Although you can’t simulate game speed in practice, when we put him in scenarios and circumstances in which he has to be a quick thinker, he’s passed the test with flying colours. “We feel the entire playbook is open to us.�

The 25-year-old from Redding, Calif., is getting the ball because the Esks say neither Steven Jyles nor Kerry Joseph are healthy enough to start. Both are on Friday’s game roster, however, with Jyles at No. 2 behind Nichols.

Nichols, an Eastern Washington product, was signed by Edmonton in 2010. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had time to absorb the Canadian game, ) 5 , '$< 6 ( 3 7 ( 0 % ( 5 72 6 8 1 '$< 6 ( 3 7 ( 0 % ( 5 playing a series in a 51-8 loss to Hamilton on Sept.

Nichols said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve felt comfortable the couple times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in this year and hope to continue that this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a couple of years since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played a real, meaningful game.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten one step closer, maybe more than one step closer to actually getting a chance to play,â&#x20AC;?

Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play this season.

We still have five or six games left.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still another third of the season left, plus post-season. The season is far from over for me.â&#x20AC;?

Calgary returner Jason Armstead will face his former team for the first time since the Esks released him in the off-season. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d played two seasons in Edmonton and has also suited up for Ottawa, Saskatchewan, Hamilton, Winnipeg and Montreal during his career.

The Stampeders signed the receiver to their practice roster just a couple of week ago. The 33-year-old has been pressed into service following injuries to returners Larry Taylor and LaMarcus Coker this month.

Armstead said Reed invited him back to the Eskimos about three weeks before Calgary came calling, but he and the club couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach a financial agreement.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Phil Housley never thought heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see kids playing hockey in nontraditional American cities when he was whirling around a rink as a teenager in his home state of Minnesota.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certain now the game hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reached its peak in his native country.

When Housley was drafted out of high school by the Buffalo Sabres in 1982 (No. 6 overall), the NHL was dominated by Canadian-born players.

More than 30 years later, the game has gone global, with the United States now supplying close to 25 per cent of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s player pool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to credit the 1980 Olympic team,â&#x20AC;?

Housley said of the surge in Americans playing hockey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That team opened the door for not only me but for many other Americans. Now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten first overall picks, and we have way more depth when it comes to the World Championships at the end of the year for the players that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the (NHL) playoffs. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlike the early 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, when it was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Well, who are we gonna get?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Housley and Rob McClanahan, a member of that 1980 USA team that upset the Soviet Union en route to an improbable gold medal, will be behind the bench when 40 of the top American prospects eligible for the 2013 NHL draft meet in the inaugural USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game on Saturday in Buffalo.

Now, if they can only get the lockout situation figured out.

St. Pierre feels he is underdog in comeback match UFC 154

MONTREAL — Despite his accomplishments in the Octagon, mixed martial arts star Georges St-Pierre insists he will be the challenger when he faces Carlos Condit at the Bell Centre.

St-Pierre will have been out of action for 19 months when he defends his Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title before a home crowd in UFC 154 on Nov. 17 at what will likely be a sold-out Bell Centre.

During St-Pierre’s layoff, Condit defeated Nick Diaz for the interim championship. Their showdown will settle which of them is really No. 1 at 170 pounds.

“In my contract, I was supposed to defend my title every year and I couldn’t do it because of my injury, so the champion to me is Carlos Condit,” St-Pierre said to applause from about 200 fans at a news conference Thursday at the Montreal Science Centre.

“It’s up to me to take the title, so I’m going for the title. That’s how I see it.”

Condit (28-5) of Albuquerque, N.M., wasn’t buying his opponent’s claim to underdog status.

“I’m not the official champion,” he said.

“Georges has been such a dominant champion over the last couple of years that until someone beats him, he’s the undisputed champion.

“That’s my mindset. Until I beat him, I don’t feel I’m a true champion.”

Neither of them could be called a hothead, and that was the closest they came to a disagreement. St-Pierre even called Condit “a gentleman.”

But he also said that opponents who don’t use trash talk are often the toughest in the cage.

“He’s very well rounded and smart,” St-Pierre said.

“He adapts well to any style of fighter, but I’m going to take care of business.

“I have two challenges. I’m fighting the most dangerous and most well rounded martial artist I’ve ever fought and I’m also coming back from a long layoff, so it’s two challenges in one.

But as a real martial artist, I ask nothing less.”

St-Pierre (22-2) will defend his championship belt for the seventh time.

He has won his last nine bouts, but hasn’t fought since he beat Jake Shields in Toronto in April, 2011 due to a knee injury that required surgery.

He acknowledges there will be some ring rust, but he said the knee is 100 per cent healed and he is confident he has not lost a step.

Even before the injury, he said his energy was fading and knew he needed to change a few things in his training and his approach to fighting. That’s

what he did during the layoff.

“I was going (to training) because I had to, not because I wanted to,” he said.

“I lost motivation.

“I learned that in your career, sometimes you need to break something and fix it before it breaks by itself. I didn’t need to lose a fight to improve my training schedule. I needed to stay on top before the fight game catches up to me. That’s what the long layoff allowed me to do. To think about stuff.

“I’m very glad to be back. I changed a lot in my training and in my life and I’ve never been so pumped up.”

Both fighters normally have Greg Jackson in their corner, but the veteran coach will not work either corner for this fight card. St-Pierre said it won’t matter.

“I like to have Greg in my corner, but we’ll both have the same problem,” he said. “The corner doesn’t really matter.

“Even if the Pope or my grandmother was in my corner, the truth is that when you come back after a round you’re exhausted. You have maybe 20 seconds where the person can tell you what to do or change your strategy. The rest of the time your just recuperate.”

It will be daunting for Condit to fight in front of a full house that will be almost entirely on St-Pierre’s side, especially against one of the top stars and top pay-per-view draws in UFC. But he relishes the role of “the bad guy fighting in an opponent’s home town.

“When I fought in my home town it was probably the most nervous I’ve ever been, the most pressure I’ve ever felt,” he said. “When I fight in someone else’s home town I feel it’s my fight to win.

“No pressure. I just get to go out there and perform to the best of my ability and not worry about anything else.”

It will be the fifth UFC card held in Montreal and the third one with StPierre in the main event.

Tom Wright, president of UFC Canada, said the organization hopes to make it a regular part of its schedule to have a card each year in Montreal in the third week of March and another in Toronto on the third week of September.

“It helps our fans because they can plan their travel and their schedule,” Wright said.

“And we feel it’s important to have that kind of consistency to our schedule to allow our fans and business partners to manage their relationship with us.”

Hall of Famer Boggs invests in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Field of Dreamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

BY LUKE MEREDITH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DES MOINES, Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hall of Famer Wade Boggs wants to help turn the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Field of Dreamsâ&#x20AC;? in eastern Iowa into a mecca for youth baseball.

Boggs announced Thursday that he is investing in a new project at the site of the Field of Dreams movie baseball field in Dyersville, Iowa.

Boggs, a former third baseman for the Red Sox and the Yankees and a Hall of Fame inductee in 2005, is lending money and his name to the project.

The movie site is part of a larger $38-million complex of 24 baseball and softball diamonds on 193 acres to be called The All-Star Ballpark Heaven.

Boggs, who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t divulge how much heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investing, said he envisions the site as a destination for travel ball and summer all-star teams throughout the Midwest.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;WITH THIS FACILITY, WITH AS MANY FIELDS AS WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;RE GOING TO PROVIDE, IT GIVES KIDS IN THE MIDWEST AND FAR WEST AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF COMPETITION, BUT NOT TRAVEL AS FAR.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; WADE BOGGS HALL OF FAME BASEBALL PLAYER

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives a viable option to parents...so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to jump on a plane or what have you to go to the East Coast just to have their sons compete,â&#x20AC;? Boggs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this facility, with as many fields as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to provide, it gives kids in the Midwest and far

West an opportunity to have the same type of competition, but not travel as far.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under development by Denise and Mike Stillman, a suburban Chicago couple who formed a company, Go the Distance Baseball, to buy the movie site and surrounding land.

Boggs compared his vision for the site as similar to that of the Cooperstown, N.Y., area. The upstate New York town that is home to the Baseball Hall of Fame also has variety of diamonds for youth teams that travel from around the country to learn about the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and play some ball.

Boggs said plans are to have at least part of the new facility be indoors in an effort to close the gap between youngsters in cold weather states and their counterparts in California, Texas and Florida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids can go ahead and practice and work out when the leaves start to fall and the snow starts to pile up,â&#x20AC;? Boggs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a step behind when the spring comes.â&#x20AC;?

LACOMBE COUNTY PLANNING FOR ARE TO BE DEVELOPED OVER 30 TO 40 YEARS

BY ADVOCATE STAFF The total bill will be about $30 million to supply water and sewer services to a 1,450-acre area in Lacombe County earmarked for commercial development.

West of Hwy 2 near Blackfalds, the area is covered by a joint economic area agreement between the county and Town of Blackfalds The agreement includes a revenue-sharing formula and annexation strategy to promote economic development that benefits both municipalities.

Stantec Consulting Inc. recently completed an updated review of the work en-

tailed to supply services to the area, which is expected to be developed over the next 30 to 40 years.

Supply water will cost about $17.5 million at full build-out at today’s prices and a sanitary network will cost about $8.4 million. Various other costs add about $4 million.

County commissioner Terry Hager said while the county will be required to cover some costs up front, those bills will be recouped through levies paid by developers as businesses set up shop in the commercial and industrial area.

“We do need some seed money, but eventually it will pay for itself,” Hager told council.

Coun. Rod McDermand was concerned about spending money that could take decades to recoup through levies.

Council was told it will take about $1 million to cross Hwy 2 with underground water and sewer lines and about $6.5 million will be needed to get services up and running.

Other money will be spent as the area develops.

Stantec has proposed the crossing work be tendered this fall and built over the winter.

Administration is expected to come back with more information to move the project forward later this year.

County hopes to buy boat launch

Greenhouse arson suspect seen on video EVER-GREEN GREENHOUSES LTD. PROPERTY EAST OF RED DEER SET ABLAZE EARLY WEDNESDAY

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A person was captured on video surveillance lighting a building on fire at the Ever-Green Greenhouses Ltd. just east of Red Deer early Wednesday morning.

Now the owners hope someone will come forward with information leading to the arrest of the arsonist.

Co-owner Bryan Nelson said the suspect caused about $3,000 worth of damages to one of the 32 cold frames or greenhouses.

“They just walked in with a gas can and went into one of the cold frames or greenhouses and poured gas all the way down and out and there she burned,” said Nelson.

“There is no question it was arson. We’re really getting tired of these guys in the country. It’s ridiculous.”

In the video, taken just before 2 a.m., a person dressed in sweat pants and a hoodie marches into the site and pours a trail of gasoline near gas tanks and inside the building.

The person is seen running after the fire is lit.

Nelson said in the last three years, there have been three incidents of gasoline theft and another fire.

This incident was one of the worst.

The plastic, the benches and the front door will have to be replaced.

In the past, vandals have stolen gas, poured it on the ground and set it on fire.

Nelson said the culprit knew what he was doing because the video shows his handiwork, which took less than seven minutes.

Ever-Green Greenhouses Ltd. co-owner Graham Nelson points out the work of an arsonist at his greenhouse, east of Red Deer on 39th Street and Range Road 270. The firestarted caused about $3,000 worth of damages.

Nelson said they have put up high fences with barbed wire tops to keep the vandals off the property.

He said there has never been enough information for police to find the suspects.

He hopes by releasing the video to the public, the arsonist will be nabbed.

“Sometimes people recognize people,” said Nelson.

“We’re going to do what we can to put it out there.”

The family-owned business has operated in the Red Deer County since 1979.

Lacombe County is hoping to buy a popular Gull Lake boat launch that was closed by its owner because of liability concerns.

The Birch Bay launching point on the northwest side of the lake was used for decades until a landowner exercised his riparian rights and acquired land up to the water line, including the launch. Concerned about liability, the new owner closed it two years ago.

Local residents lobbied the county to buy it back and reopen it.

County council heard on Thursday that most Birch Bay residents favour reopening the launch, although some wanted it to be restricted for local use only.

That viewpoint concerned Coun.

Rod McDermand, who wondered whether those who expressed support for the county reopening the launch realized the intention was to upgrade the facility for all to use.

McDermand felt that the county should go back to the community with a concept plan showing what the county intends to do, which includes a proposal to buy additional land to provide parking at the site.

Even though the launch always has been a public access point, Coun.

Brenda Knight also expressed reservations that those in favour of the county buying the launch did not understand all the implications.

Other councillors said the county needs to look at the needs of the entire county when it comes to the launch given the pressure for more lake access.

Hearing set for affordable housing plan CLEARVIEW NORTH HEARING ON MONDAY EXPECTED TO ATTRACT LARGE TURNOUT

We strive for complete, accurate coverage of Central Alberta and are happy to correct any errors we may commit.

A public hearing on Clearview North’s proposed and controversial affordable housing site will be held at the Sheraton Red Deer Hotel on Monday.

The city expects a large turnout after two well-attended open houses on the proposed changes.

Feedback from residents focused on concerns over property value and increased crime rates and safety.

One resident commented, “I am concerned that while walking to work I will meet up with any number of the proposed new residents of the area. I don’t think I need to add what could happen to me at 11 at night walking on my own trying to go to work.”

Another wrote, “I am extremely against these proposals and feel it will directly impact my home value as well as the neigh-

bourhood value.”

The public hearing at the Sheraton gets underway at 6 p.m. Council’s regular meeting begins at 2:15 p.m. in council chambers and then will shift to the hotel.

The city acquired the four-acre site along Caribou Crescent in the northwest corner of the neighbourhood from the provincial government.

The parcel of land came with the stipulation that the land would be used for affordable housing for at least 15 years.

The city is looking to change the area structure plan, as well as zoning.

The proposed amendment would replace a cul-de-sac and single family and multi-family residential designations with a multi-family residential/place of worship/ assembly designation.

Since 2008, the centre has been developing its plans for affordable housing units and a cultural centre.

The concept includes two wings of housing with the friendship centre in the middle. A small gathering space, offices and potentially other agencies are amongst the plans.

City council gave first reading to the Clearview North Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan and first reading to amend the land-use bylaw in August.

Any decisions on the rezoning and area structure plan will be made at the Oct. 15 council meeting.

LOCAL

BRIEFS

Over 1,200 more take transit on Car Free Day City buses were filled with 1,212 more passengers on World Car Free Day. Free bus rides were part of the international event that encouraged alternate forms of transportation.

The total ridership was 6,568, compared to 5,356 the previous Saturday. That’s a 23 per cent increase.

The day was marked with a fun-filled event at Barrett Park on Saturday.

Lauren Maris, environmental program specialist, said the results were very positive and she hopes residents will continue to go car free at least one day a week.

LAUNCH: Needs Coun. Dana Kreil said council had to consider who the launch was for.

“It’s still for the public, for the better good of everyone.”

Coun. Keith Stephenson said it is a useful access point on that part of the lake and should be pursued.

“I think we should move forward with this.

We don’t want to lose it.”

A motion to take a concept plan back to the community for input was defeated.

Also shot down was a motion to negotiate with the landowner to buy the launch and additional land for parking.

Instead, a compromise was passed to buy the launch, with an option to buy land for parking subject to public input. Council also directed administration to cost out upgrading the launch and parking to be considered in the 2013 budget and to draw on a lake access reserve fund for the money.

Birch Bay residents Cam and Chris Wiese told council that most residents want the launch reopened, hopefully as early as this ice fishing season.

Afterwards, Cam said the issue seems to be going in the right direction.

“I think we’re moving forward on it. Our community has been there for 50 years. The access has been there for 50 years, and now it’s closed. “Why have a lake lot if you can’t get to the lake?” pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Access route plan dropped Lacombe County council has scrapped a proposal to build an emergency access route between two Sylvan Lake communities.

The Summer Village of Sunbreaker Cove asked the county last year to look at installing a short connecting road to the neighbouring community of Blissful Beach to serve as a second route out in an emergency.

It was proposed the link be gated and opened only in an emergency to allow residents out or emergency vehicles in.

However, Blissful Beach residents were cool to the idea, fearing it would boost traffic in their neighbourhood.

A similar proposal was made 12 years ago but abandoned because of Blissful Beach opposition.

The cost of the access road has been estimated at $55,000.

Paving has been completed on a scenic stretch of trail between Blackfalds and Lacombe. The nearly eight-km long trail weaves south from Lacombe, through the Canada Agriculture Research Centre, down the west side of Lacombe Lake to the northern edge of Blackfalds. Years in the planning, construction began in early August on the $930,000 link, with paving completed on Wednesday. Park benches, picnic tables, garbage and signs will now be installed. A washroom will also be added later in the year. Interpretive signs highlighting historically significant locations will be installed next year on the route, which is part of the TransCanada Trail. The trail was a collaboration between the two municipalities, TransCanada Trail, Central Alberta Regional Trails Society and Agriculture Canada.

Coun. Keith Stephenson questioned whether it was worth going ahead considering the opposition.

He also noted many other older lakeside communities were also built with only a single access road.

Council voted to drop the plan.

Charges also include forging a driver’s licence and social insurance card as well as having a number of forged cheques in his possession.

In entering guilty pleas on his client’s behalf, Schollie asked that sentencing be adjourned for two months to give Short time to get his affairs in order, considering that a period of incarceration is likely.

Judge Jim Mitchell granted the adjournment and also granted Short a release from custody, including cash bail of $1,000.

Short faces a similar set of charges in Calgary, where he was also released on bail, but remains in custody because he has not yet raised the $1,000 deposit.

He is to enter a plea on the Calgary charges in Calgary on Oct. 4.

Beef recall extended XL FOODS BEEF RECALL EXTENDED IN U.S. TO STORES IN 30 STATES, INCLUDING WALMART

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has extended its public health alert about beef from an Alberta plant to stores in 30 states, including retail giant Walmart.

The alert means XL Foods Inc. is voluntarily recalling beef products from these stores over concerns about possible E. coli contamination.

The U.S. Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) says it is monitoring the effectiveness of the recall, which before Thursday covered eight states.

XL Foods officials were not immediately available for comment.

Along with Walmart, the retail chains

involved in the XL Foods recall in the U.S. include Safeway, Kroger, Jay C, FoodsCo., Food4Less, Albertson’s and Sam’s Club.

Canada revoked the plant’s permit to export beef to the U.S. on Sept. 13 at the request of the U.S.D.A. Since Sept. 16, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued at least seven recall alerts for XL Foods Inc. ground beef products from its plant in Brooks, Alta., over E. coli concerns.

There are no reported cases of people getting sick from eating the ground beef.

The FSIS said in a news release issued Wednesday that whole cuts of beef were produced at the XL Foods plant on the same production dates as the suspected tainted ground beef.

The meat cuts were used by a U.S. manu-

facturer to make other food products, which have not been identified.

Also Wednesday, Alberta Health Service officials announced that four people in Edmonton got sick from E. coli after eating Kirkland brand strip loin steaks purchased at a Costco outlet in Edmonton.

The CFIA said the meat the steaks were made from came from the XL Foods plant, but health officials aren’t sure if the E. coli was on the product or if it came from a metal meat tenderizing machine used at the Costco store.

The store has said it would no longer use the tenderizing machine.

E. coli O157:H7 is potentially deadly.

Health officials say it can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration and, in the most severe cases, kidney failure.

Free currencies suggested in trade deals OTTAWA — Canada is undermining its own objectives in free trade negotiations around the world by not seeking conditions to ensure that currencies are also free, say economists with the CIBC. The Harper government has placed negotiating free trade deals around the world as a principal pillar of its economic policy, calling it the “new stimulus.”

But in a paper released Thursday, CIBC economists Avery Shenfeld and Emanuella Enenajor argue that currency manipulation by some of Canada’s trading partners is undermining the value of trade deals. “Trade may be liberalized, but are the exchange rates that set relative prices and costs also going to have their shackles removed? If not, the free market will be anything but free,” they say.

Canada governor Mark Carney has ruled out intervening to weaken the dollar, but has expressed concern about what the highflying loonie is doing to exports.

Ottawa doing OK financially OTTAWA — Ottawa’s cost-cutting measures have put it on a sound fiscal track for the future, but the provinces are left holding the bag, says Canada’s budget watchdog.

Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page’s latest longterm projection on government finances suggests Ottawa has little to fear from the loss of revenue and rising costs tied to the aging population.

Page also judges the Canada Pension Plan and Quebec Pension Plan fiscally sound.

But the report, released Thursday, shows provinces and municipalities adding so much debt over the next 70 years or so they would resemble Greece and Italy if something is not done.

Provincial outlook weaker: TD

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — TD Bank (TSX:TD) has lowered its estimates for economic growth this year in most of Canada’s provinces — saying the United States, Europe and Asia are weaker than expected and households are more cautious than before.

It says Alberta and Saskatchewan will continue to lead the other provinces in economic growth this year, but the pace will fall below three per cent. In the other eight provinces, TD is estimating 2012 growth will be less than two per cent.

In most provinces, the new TD estimate is below the outlook it issued in July, with the exception of Manitoba and Prince Edward Island.

“In Europe, while a dramatic escalation in the financial crisis has been avoided and mechanisms aimed at preventing such an outcome have been agreed upon, risk levels remain high,” the report says.

It adds that the U.S. economy has been recovering at a “disappointing pace” and exports to Canada’s largest foreign customer have been con-

Lonestar has strong growth Sylvan Lake-based Lonestar West Inc. (TSXV: LSI) has reported strong growth in its 2012 fiscal year.

The company, which operates a fleet of 36 hydrovac and vacuum trucks, posted net earnings of $1.3 million for the year ended June 30. That’s an improvement from $514,000 in its 2011 operating year. Revenues were $18.6 million, up from $11.1 million, and basic earnings per share were nine cents, up from four cents.

In its fourth quarter, ended June 30, Lonestar had a net loss of $198,000 on revenues of $4.4 million, and a loss per basic share of one cent. A year ago, the company had a net loss of $343,000 on revenues of $2.7 million, and a loss of three cents per basic share.

“We have had another remarkable year in fiscal 2012, resulting in increases in both revenue and EBITDAC over the prior fiscal year,” said president and CEO James Horvath. “The utilization rates of our VAC and HVAC fleets have increased substantially during fiscal 2012, which had a direct impact on our profits.”

Lonestar’s fleet grew by nearly one third during the year, going from 25 units to 33. It’s added four more units since the end of the year, and also incorporated two subsidiaries in the United States.

strained by the high value of Canada’s dollar relative to the U.S. currency.

“Moreover, China’s soft landing and the maturation of growth in many emerging market countries have set limits to what had appeared to be almost boundless demand — a development that has not been lost on commodity markets.”

In Canada, TD notes the federal and provincial governments have launched extensive efforts to restrain their spending and home prices has begun to come down in after years of rapid growth in some markets. It suggested Canadian households across the country — particularly in Ontario — are being more cautious than previously expected.

For most provinces, TD is forecasting stronger growth in 2013 than this year and further improvement in 2014.

Newfoundland’s growth in 2013, bolstered by its oil and gas resources, is projected to be 2.3 per cent followed by 2.5 per cent in 2014. The growth in the other three energy-rich provinces — Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia — is estimated at 3.1 per cent, 3.0 per cent and 1.9 per cent respectively.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE

Business centre boosted

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR A business resource centre in Rocky Mountain House that helps entrepreneurs get off the ground has received a lift itself.

The Rural Alberta Business Centre is getting $90,000 from the Rural Alberta Development Fund.

That money is in addition to the more than $2 million previously pledged by the province to create eight Alberta Business Centres on a three-year pilot project basis, including one in Rocky.

The centres’ mandate is to offer business information and advice, research services, and seminars and workshops to existing and aspiring small business operators.

They also provide clients with access to computers and the Internet, and enable them to connect to The Business Link — a provincial research centre.

The Rocky centre, which is managed by the Town of Rocky Mountain House and has Michelle Andrishak as its small

business adviser, has been operating since February.

It’s receiving positive reviews from the business community, said Brad Dollevoet, the town’s director of planning and community development.

“The Rural Alberta Business Centre has been a tremendous benefit to the Rocky Mountain House and area business community,” he said.

“Businesses now have a local link with resources, such as information seminars, grant information, business plan preparation and marketing advice.”

And that, he added, gives them the same opportunities as their counterparts in larger urban centres.

Dollevoet said the additional funding should enable the Rocky centre to provide even more programs and services, and extend its reach to communities like Eckville and Caroline.

The other Rural Alberta Business Centres are located in Camrose, Cold Lake, Fort Macleod, Hanna, Grande Cache, Slave Lake and La Crete. hrichards@reddeeradvocate. com

Northwestern Air Lease Ltd. is lightening the financial load for passengers flying between Red Deer and Kelowna or Fort McMurray.

The airline is temporarily offering reduced fares on one-way tickets for the routes. Flights to or from Kelowna, B.C. will cost $159 during the month of October, down from the regular fare of $270.90; while one-way trips between Red Deer and Fort McMurray will go for $199, as compared with a normal rate of $343.35 The prices include all fees, taxes and GST. Without those additional costs, the base fares for October will be $84.43 for the Kelowna route and $139.52 for flights to or from Fort McMurray.

Northwestern has been offering scheduled passenger flights from the Red Deer Airport to Kelowna since April, with round trips on Fridays and Saturdays. Service between Red Deer and Fort McMurray is slated to begin on Oct. 1, with flights on Mondays and Fridays.

The airline uses 15-seat Jetstream 32 aircrafts.

Northwestern general manager Brian Harrold said the motivation for the reduced fares is to raise awareness that Central Albertans have an attractive alternative to Calgary’s and Edmonton’s airports when travelling.

“If I can get 15 seats full, I’m probably going to break even or might even make a little bit. But the idea is to get people enticed onto the airplane, get them to see the service that we provide, get them to see the airplane, get used to doing that route, that travel; make sure they know it’s easy, it’s quick, it’s efficient.”

Those who fly with Northwestern will hopefully become regular customers, he said, and will also tell others about their experience.

Flying out of the Red Deer Airport offers a number of advantages, said Harrold, including avoiding the drive to Calgary or Edmonton, paying for parking, and dealing with the congestion and confusion in a busy international airport.

“We want to make it easy for people.”

Northwestern has seen a “slow progression” with respect to use of its service between Red Deer and Kelowna, said Harrold. He’s optimistic the Fort McMurray option will prove popular, particularly with those who work in the energy sector.

Northwestern also flew between Red Deer and Dawson Creek, B.C., but suspended that service early this month.

The company is currently assessing the route, and looking at additional connections that might make it more attractive, said Harrold. hrichards@reddeeradvocate. com

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto Stock Exchange posted a triple digit rebound as gold hit a sevenmonth high after two of the most indebted European countries outlined new austerity measures.

The S&P/TSX composite index added 105.99 points to 12,338.85. The TSX Venture Exchange pushed ahead 15.45 points to 1,322.31.

Spain and Greece outlined plans to cut spending and raise taxes to convince international lenders and financial markets they are on the right track to cut their deficits.

The Canadian dollar gained 0.45 of a cent to 101.95 cents U.S., getting a boost after Spain announced its new budget.

The cuts in Spain are meant to show world investors and other countries that Spain can meet fiscal targets. The budget unveiling lifted stock markets from what had been only modest gains.

Wall Street was also higher, with the Dow ahead 72.46 points to 13,485.97 and the Nasdaq 42.90 points higher at 3,136.60.

The broader S&P 500 was up 13.83 points at 1,447.15.

Gold prices gained more than one per cent Thursday, adding $26.90 to hit a new seven-month high of US$1,780.50 an ounce.

The last time it traded at that level was Feb. 28.

In turn, the gold-heavy materials sector was one of the biggest gainers on the TSX, up two per cent for the day with shares in Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX) up 1.6 per cent or 66 cents to $40.97.

The benchmark New York oil contract was ahead $1.87 at US$91.85 a barrel, while the December copper contract was three cents higher at US$3.74 a pound. The mining sector was also ahead two per cent.

The gains also came amid expectations that the People’s Bank of China will soon take more steps to stimulate the world’s No. 2 economy, which has been slowing.

Worries about a slowing Chinese economy have combined

with unrest in Europe to pressure the market this month.

And even as those worries persist, and the U.S. continues to churn out mixed economic data, sentiment will likely be buoyed into Friday, the last trading day of the third quarter, said Sadiq Adatia, chief investment officer at Sun Life Global Investments.

“I think people do want to buy some good names heading into Q4 and want to show that on their books ... I think they’re actually jumping in anticipation of what’s going to happen in Q4,” Adatia said.

“You’ve seen a little bit of a selloff in the past few days ... but I think they’re going to be back to slowly buying up things and moving this marker a little higher up.”

The measures outlined Thursday by Spain and Greece highlight how Europe’s struggling countries are battling public anger and flat-lining economies to push for more austerity — all with the aim of securing muchneeded aid.

Slimmer and bright part of men’s fall fashion THIS SEASON MARKS A RETURN FOR TO TAILORED CLOTHING FOR MEN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

A model wears a tweed jacket ($109.98), 2-pocket shirt ($34.99) herringbone suit vest ($65) and coloured jean ($39.98) from Sears. The threads of refinement and contemporary spins on the classics are woven throughout menswear offerings for fall, which feature a range of style-forward options for aspirants to the title of sharp-dressed man.

TORONTO — Menswear for the fall season is a study in style contrasts with apparel big on colour, prints and patterns but decidedly lean in look with a trimmer silhouette.

“There’s certainly a return to tailored clothing in a big way,” said Nancy Dennis, trend director for apparel and accessories for Sears Canada.

“It’s not the suit that our dads wore — it’s a much more modern, slim suit.”

Melissa Austria, founder of Toronto menswear boutique Gotstyle, said double-breasted blazers and suits — a staple of 80s-era fashion — are also being modernized with a slimmer fit.

“We’re seeing a lot more double-breasted jackets versus suits, and they’re cut proportionately, so if you have them open, they still fall properly,” she said. “But definitely, if you’re sporting one of those, you’re on-trend for the season.”

Men needn’t worry that looser-fitting garments are vanishing from the racks. Austria recalled when skinny jeans emerged several years ago and men with bigger legs couldn’t wear them, manufacturers brought back the straight, relaxed cut as an alternative.

At present, she said menswear has a wealth of choice to suit differing sartorial tastes.

“There are two looks,” said Austria. “It’s either going to be that slim Euro narrow lapel — be it a peaked or notched lapel — with a smaller collar and a skinny tie. But at the same time, you still have that wider lapel, the Tom Ford influence, that’s coming back again with the bigger collars and bigger ties.

“It’s pretty much men are given the option to wear what works for them as opposed to being dictated to by the fashion people saying: ‘You’ve got to wear this.”’

Austria said there is a return to classic menswear fabrics but modernized in shape, with tweeds, herringbones and plaids being incorporated into contemporary apparel.

The sport coat is also being singled out as a fall wardrobe essential, a garment Dennis describes as a “transitional, transformational piece” that men can wear to the office as well as after-hours.

On the more casual side, polos are making way for updated incarnations of rugby shirts — trimmer, shorter, with a pop of colour in the stripe that can be teamed with a soft sport coat, Austria noted.

Big, bold and bright theme for fall accessories TORONTO — Fashion wallflowers keen to emerge from the style shadows will find an abundant array of accessory options for fall designed to lend a touch of sweetness or dollop of spice to their wardrobes.

“It’s kind of a ’Go big or go home’ message in clothing and in accessories, with a very big emphasis on graphics and bold graphics. So if you’re wearing a very fine little piece of jewelry with that, you’re not going to make the impact, ” says Susie Sheffman, fashion director for eLUXE. “We’re very much behind big, bold, graphic statements, whether it be in a colour-blocked shoe or a statement necklace that’s quite graphic and strong; a big bangle in a bright colour, something to just kind of really make very simple, strong, emphatic messages.”

Colourful watches present another way to have fun with the wardrobe, inexpensive additions offering a “quick hit” way to tap into the trend, she notes.

For those with more conservative sartorial leanings, Sheffman says they can best incorporate the trends by selecting a piece that is already familiar to them.

“It could be a colourblocked bag or a bag in a bright colour; but it’s probably something that’s in a classic, understandable shape so you’re not feeling like you’re going way out on a limb too far.”

Oversized clutches are still big for bags, which will also see a continuation of more structured handbags spotted during spring, noted Winners spokeswoman Colleen Uncao during the retailer’s fall preview.

Reina Meucci, VP of Gap Accessories, says the brand has an eye towards designing essential classics with a twist, allowing those who may be style-shy to personalize their look without taking huge risks. It’s a continuing thread as the weather cools with staples like leather totes and ballet flats saturated in colourful hues and prints.

Meucci says another emerging standout for fall is the smoking slipper. The sleek loafer is often seen as a transi-

tional shoe from warmer to cooler weather, and is typically distinguished by its distinctive rounded toe and piping trim detail.

“I’m really loving how it looks with a pair of shorts early in the season and then moving to a skinny (jean),” the New York-based Meucci said in an interview during a recent visit to Toronto. She also suggests pairing the slipper with a shrunken boyfriend blazer to round out the ensemble.

Aside from a “big emphasis” on the slipper in leather and suede varieties, Sheffman points to stacked-heel ankle booties as another popular fall footwear item.

The high-shaft, kneelength boot is one of the key styles in the category this season, says Uncao.

In addition to chunkier heels, they aren’t immune from a touch of embellishment with prints and colours, she notes.

Cocktail rings and bib necklaces typify the emergence of more ornate jewelry, but there are other less ostentatious options, Meucci notes.

“It would really be more about a beautifulcoloured scarf — it’s almost like your daytime necklace in a way,” she says.

Scarves are among

Austria and Dennis said paisley, plaids and checks are still prominent in shirts, but downsized in scale with micro prints and patterns.

Adding a dose of brightness to the fall men’s wardrobe is the infusion of brighter shades in separates, part of a continuing colour trend from warmer weather fashions.

Dennis said coloured bottoms that have become de rigeur in womenswear are “totally commercial” on the men’s side as well, citing red and cobalt blue among the top shades.

“If they didn’t want to take the risk on colour, the shape would be the next thing,” she said. “So if they wanted to stick to their traditional khaki chinos (in) sand colour or denim, they definitely can move more to a slimmer silhouette — and I think that’s happening.”

Austria said men gravitated towards colour in a big way particularly during the spring, embracing reds, bright blues and oranges among the array of shades.

“We’re still seeing that into the fall, but richer and deeper; so wine colours, great greens, forest greens, deeper oranges, lots of brown,” she said. “We’re seeing brown start to happen in suits which we haven’t seen for a while.”

A “true blue” hue is also emerging in suits, an alternative to the traditional dark midnight navy that has had a presence, Austria noted. Hits of colour are even popping up on footwear with classic brogues, wingtips and cap toe shoes featuring coloured soles and shoelaces, she added.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASA’s future plans to explore Mars may end up using astronauts as space messengers.

The new idea surfaced as a special team looking for a new Mars robotic exploration plan released a preliminary report Tuesday.

One of the option calls for a Martian robotic rover to collect rocks on the red planet. Later, astronauts in a newly built spaceship would be used to pick them up from a cosmic delivery point somewhere between Earth and Mars and return them home.

The report gives the space agency several options with no specific timing for future missions and no decision is expected until next year.

The new plan is needed because budget cuts earlier this year killed two future robotic flights.

The space agency has so far explored Mars with orbiters and robots, like the rover Curiosity that landed last month.

The ultimate goal has been to get a robot to collect rocks and Martian soil to send to Earth for more detailed scientific examination.

Separately, NASA is working on new missions for astronauts to explore away from Earth, with an ultimate goal of sending them to Mars sometime in the 2030s.

The NASA team proposed combining both dreams, getting astronauts involved in Martian exploration earlier.

But they wouldn’t exactly go to Mars itself.

The astronauts would go somewhere between Mars and Earth and pick up the rocks left by a spacecraft that carried them off Mars.

That plan takes advantage of the new rocket and spaceship system for astronauts that should be ready in the next decade, said NASA associate administrator for sciences John Grunsfeld.

It also would lessen contamination worries about the Martian rocks. Scientists want to make sure that the Martian samples could not bring alien germs to Earth and that Earth organisms don’t contaminate the Martian sample, Grunsfeld said.

And it would help the mission to land humans on Mars because it “looks a lot like sending a crew to Mars and returning them safely,” Grunsfeld said.

The planning team looked at a few options for a Mars sample return mission: ● Send a bunch of spacecraft to Mars — a rover, a launcher to return home, an orbiter — in several launches. ● Package all those spacecraft into one or two launches that would save money but increase risk of failure. ● Send a bunch of small rovers to look around different spots of Mars to find the best samples and then design a system to collect and return those rocks.

NASA still has to decide what robotic or orbiter mission it wants to send to Mars in 2018, if any.

It’s a time when Earth and the red planet will be close and save money on fuel costs.

Grunsfeld said NASA only has about $800 million budgeted for that, which is not enough for a major rover.

Skydiver going supersonic TO PLUNGE ON OCT. 8 FROM RECORD ALTITUDE OVER U.S.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The countdown is on for skydiver Felix Baumgartner.

In just two weeks, the Austrian parachutist will attempt to go supersonic when he jumps from a record altitude of 23 miles (37 kilometres) over the U.S. Baumgartner expects to reach a top speed of 690 mph (1,110 km/h) and break the sound barrier with only his body.

Project managers announced Tuesday the attempt will take place Oct. 8, a delay from August.

“I feel like a tiger in a cage waiting to get out,” Baumgartner, 43, said in a statement.

He jumped from 18 miles (29 kilometres) in July.

This time, he hopes to break the all-time record of 19.5 miles (31 kilometres) set in 1960.

Baumgartner’s capsule was damaged in the latest practice jump and had to be repaired and retested.

A giant helium balloon will lift the pressurized capsule with Baumgartner inside, dressed in a pressure suit.

Project officials note that excellent weather will be needed for the October launch.

Early fall is generally an optimal time for such endeavours.

The flight will be monitored by a NASA-

A comedy in search of answers CAT HOPES 2 ACROSS ENCOURAGES VIEWERS TO STEP OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE AND LEARN SOMETHING FROM SOMEBODY ELSE

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Two strangers meet. Before they part, it’s apparent that neither of their lives will ever be the same.

This simple premise has propelled all sorts of stage productions, novels and movies over the years, from romantic encounters (Before Sunrise, Brief Encounter and Same Time, Next Year), to more nefarious ones (Strangers on a Train and Charade).

It will be seen again in 2 Across, the next Central Alberta Theatre play, written by Jerry Mayer. It has been described as a charming and entertaining romantic comedy by no less a luminary source than the Los Angles Times.

A man and woman, both 50-ish, board a San Francisco rapid transit train at 4:30 a.m. They’re alone in the same car, and both are doing the New York Times crossword.

It soon becomes apparent that she’s an organized if slightly uptight type, who firmly believes that crossword puzzles are a metaphor for life: “Those who finish, succeed. Those who don’t, fail.”

He’s a laid back, unemployed former ad exec, who initially tosses his puzzle away. But after hearing his copassenger’s decided pronouncement about all that crosswords infer, he vows to finish it.

The play becomes an 80-minute tale about two troubled opposites who begin by bristling at each other’s attitudes, but end up changing each other’s views, said director Erna Soderberg.

“The play is full of witty repartee.

It’s not mean-spirited or full of swear words and sex. It’s just a nice, warm, refreshing comedy,” she added.

Mayer is a former sitcom writer who has written for M*A*S*H, The Bob Newhart Show, All in the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Facts of Life. And Soderberg loves his knack for writing realistic dialogue that rings true.

She also likes his play’s premise. Soderberg noted that meeting somebody who will, in all likelihood, never cross our paths again, often frees us to spill more personal details than we might even share with friends.

2 ACROSS ON STAGE What: Central Alberta Theatre presents 2 Across, a romantic comedy by Jerry Mayer When: 7:30 p.m., Oct. 11 to 21 Where: Nickle Studio, upstairs at Red

Deer’s Memorial Centre Tickets: $28.70 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre

The biggest challenge to pulling off 2 Across, which runs from Oct. 11 to 21 at the Nickle Studio, upstairs at the Memorial Centre, will be keeping the audience’s attention with only two actors and one unchanging set.

But Soderberg believes she has found the right cast — CAT veterans Deb O’Brien and Derek Olinek.

The train’s interior is being designed by Stuart Reid with some authentic bus seats. To help with sight-

lines in the 60-person cabaret theatre, the stage is also being raised slightly.

Soderberg noted that audience members can partake of the cash bar and concession snacks.

She hopes theatregoers will leave 2 Across with a renewed perspective.

“Just because you think you are one kind of personality doesn’t mean there isn’t room for change. It doesn’t hurt to break out a little, step out of your comfort zone, and learn something from somebody else.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Wide Mouth Mason performs at The Vat in Red Deer on Friday, Oct. 12: ‘beautiful interaction ... playing off each other.”

Wide Mouth Mason bringing big sound to city

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The guys from ZZ Top play furry guitars, but Wide Mouth Mason’s Sean Verreault plays fuzzy guitar.

In case you’re wondering about the difference, the bearded wonders from Texas actually wield plush-covered guitars, while Verreault’s electric guitar only sounds fur covered.

Verreault explains in his characteristically descriptive way, that there are several methods to make a guitar sound “dirty.”

You can put it in overdrive and get that “muscular” AC/DC sound. Or you can go for total distortion and get the crackly, grungy Nirvana sound, said the Vancouver resident, who performs with his band on Friday, Oct. 12, at The Vat in Red Deer.

If you’re aiming for something roughly in between, you get what Verreault describes as an “audio caterpillar sound that’s big and round and warm, and a bit fuzzy.”

The 38-year-old figures he achieved this on the latest Wide Mouth Mason release, No Bad Days, which spawned the blues-soaked single Get A Hold of

You. “When there’s only three of you in the band, it’s like making pasta with only a few ingredients. All of the ingredients had better be really strong and not be hiding behind anything” because all are needed to make an impression, said Verreault.

“Space is really important for us — it’s like our fourth member,” added the Saskatchewan-raised musician, who performs in Wide Mouth Mason with Toronto-based drummer Safwan Javed and Texas-based bassist Gordie Johnson.

Filling this space with big sound and a minimum of production values was the band’s primary goal on No Bad Days.

Verreault describes the CD as more of a no-frills documentary than a big Hollywood blockbuster because it captures performances exactly as they were.

“We wanted it to sound unfussy, untouched — kind of like whatever happens, happens. . . . Rather than adding layers to it, I thought of it as the Japanese style of painting in one unbroken line. When the line stops, you lift the brush and it’s done.”

The resulting album, produced by Johnson, contains imperfections, but also the raw energy the band was striving for. Verreault said, “The three of us had a beautiful interaction, where we were playing off each other.”

That interplay began in 2010 when Wide Mouth Mason’s former bassist, Earl Pereira, quit just before group was invited to open for none other than ZZ Top — “which is something you can’t say ‘No’ to,” said Verreault.

Johnson, of Big Sugar, Grady and Sit Down Servant!, was a friend, producer and frequent tour partner of the band.

Despite all of his other projects, Johnson agreed to step in and play bass with the group during the tour. And “it was a perfect fit. . . . After a few gigs we thought, this needs to be the way it is, because it’s the most fun we’ve had,” said Verreault.

Johnson has been a permanent member of the trio since 2011. The fun continues during Wide Mouth Mason’s current tour from Montreal to Vancouver Island. The opening band in Red Deer and elsewhere is The Balconies.

If I might misquote Robert Preston for a moment, it must be said that Trouble with the Curve starts with “T” and that rhymes with “C” and that stands for Clint — and also confusion.

Variously playing like a bizarre tangent to Gran Torino, or the flipside to Moneyball, or maybe just the eccentric output of a guy who talks to chairs at Republican shindigs, it really doesn’t know what story PETER it and rookie HOWELL screenwriter Randy Brown want to tell.

Yet Trouble With the Curve is also agreeable entertainment, in spite of everything. That’s obviously all that Eastwood cares about, in this directing debut by Robert Lorenz, his loyal assistant director.

For his first film in nearly 20 years that he’s acted in without also directing (you have to go back to In the Line of Fire in 1993), the 82-year-old Eastwood seems content to play an even more irascible version of his grumpy Walt Kowalski from Gran Torino.

Instead of “Get off my lawn!” it’s more like, “Get off my baseball diamond!” His Gus Lobel is one of those old-time talent scouts who Moneyball mocked, the kind of guy who goes by his gut rather than by computer, a device he despises.

He eats Spam out of a can for breakfast and cusses at his wonky prostate during morning toilet rituals: “I outlived you, you little bastard!”

Gus doesn’t get much love from the computer-savvy officials of the Atlanta Braves (Matthew Lillard leads the hissworthy villains), who figure it’s time for him to retire, despite his many years of stellar talent spotting.

Gyllenhaal cops to why he did a police drama

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES It’s common for actors to say that making their latest film was a life-altering experience. When Jake Gyllenhaal talks about being profoundly affected by his work on End of Watch, he’s not exaggerating.

To prepare for the Los Angeles cop drama, he spent five months cruising crime-ridden neighborhoods in sheriff’s department and LAPD squad cars on the 4 p.m.-to-4 a.m. shift.

“On my first ride-along in Inglewood, someone was murdered. We were the second car on the scene,” he said. “That was definitely a wake-up call. We were involved in stolen-vehicle chases. You see domestic violence, disputes that turn violent. You really see your city differently after that.”

Gyllenhaal also took on the role of co-producer in David Ayer’s film, completing the project for a frugal $7 million. The shooting schedule was a mere 22 days, with ambitious scenes of street violence and chaotic gang shootouts with automatic weapons.

With no budget for special effects, Gyllenhall and costar Michael Pena were peppered by shrapnel from explosive squibs and inside the vehicle during highspeed car crashes.

“A lot of things were done with a split-second to go. We’d only have two chances,” he said.

The film opens with a chase filmed by a dashboard camera. “When that windshield blows? We had three of those windshields. If we didn’t get that maneuver right and hit the ground running with our guns coming out, we’re screwed. We wouldn’t have an opening for the movie. It was always dangerous in that way because Dave was trying to make a big, action-filled movie” with scant resources.

In another scene, a tire-screeching pursuit of a drug gang’s van ended in a real collision. Pena and Gyllenhaal were tearing down a darkened street when their police cruiser rear-ended the getaway vehicle, a high-impact crash captured on film.

“I put on my producer hat in that moment because I knew we didn’t have an extra car.” Gyllenhaal’s urgent, profanity-laced orders for his partner to get out of the car and continue the chase on foot matched the drama onscreen and remain in the film. “Limited resources and a lot of heart creates something,” he said.

The 31-year-old star of Brokeback Mountain and Zodiac had never played a cop before. In fact, he considered the genre played out. What drew him to End of Watch was Ayer’s honest portrayal of life on the street. The writer/director (who penned the script for

Victim 1 in Jerry Sandusky’s child sex-abuse trial has book deal NEW YORK — A key witness against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, known in court papers as Victim 1, has a book deal and will soon reveal his identity, a publisher announced Thursday.

CURVE: Adams the MVP You can hardly blame them: As much as Gus tries to hide it, macular degeneration has rendered him almost blind. Not only can he barely see a baseball, he can’t even walk through his own home without turning furniture into splinters, much to the chagrin of his buddy Pete (John Goodman).

Just as you think Trouble is going to be about a guy literally raging against the dying of the light, the story shifts emphasis to his daughter Mickey (Amy Adams). Mickey is an up-and-coming Atlanta lawyer seeking a partnership at her male-dominated firm, and she’s long dealt with demanding men. She used to travel with her father on the scouting circuit, and as fate would have it, her presence is required again, much to her chagrin.

How this squares with the delinquent daddy subplot that suddenly erupts is hard to fathom — how could Mickey be always at her father’s side, yet

Jake Gyllenhaal, right, in a scene from End of Watch: he had never played a cop before, nor considered the genre. the Denzel Washington Oscar winner Training Day) grew up in L.A.’s tough neighbourhoods and understood the mix of mind-numbing routine and sudden violence that police work entails. “I felt there was a beating heart in this script,” and its portrayal of cops as average guys who are called on to display extraordinary heroism.

Gyllenhaal, who lives in New York and made his U.S. stage debut off-Broadway last week, said he sees urban life differently now. “It’s hard not to, after having shared (the police officers’) world. There’s

this weird dichotomy of seeing the world with a little more paranoia, the possibility of something around that corner, and at the same time feeling stronger for it and more confident because of it. Feeling like there is a reality that I now know.”

“While that reality’s not always the most comforting thing, there’s a sense of the truth setting you free, an enlightenment” that has enhanced his devotion to his family, friends and career. “Dave joked when I first met him, ‘I’m going to poison your mind. This situation’s gonna change you.’ And he was right.”

Victim 1, now 18, will reveal his identity on the day of the book’s release in an interview with ABC’s Chris Cuomo.

Financial terms for the book were not disclosed.

But Ballantine, an imprint of Random House Inc., plans a donation to a charity for victims of child abuse.

Sandusky allegedly fondled Victim 1 and performed oral sex on him multiple times.

Victim 1 first alerted authorities in 2008 and helped launch the investigation leading to Sandusky’s conviction in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse.

Prosecutors said some of the assaults took place on the Penn State campus.

Sandusky is scheduled to be sentenced next month and is likely to receive a sentence that will keep him in prison for life.

Actor suspected of killing woman

Also shoehorned in is a romantic subplot with Justin Timberlake’s Johnny, a former pitcher in “the show” who now scouts for the Boston Red Sox. He owes allegiance to Gus but has an eye for Mickey, who naturally won’t warm up to him until the required level of banter has been reached.

If all this isn’t enough, the late innings of Trouble With the Curve bring us an arrogant baseball player who is too big for his britches and a humble one who just wants to hurl the ball, gosh-darn-it.

Eastwood is enjoyable and Timberlake is charming, but the film’s real MVP is Adams. To her credit, she acts as if she’s

making a movie as important as Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master, also out last weekend, which is a better showcase for her talents.

Trouble with the Curve is one of those easy-going old-time movies that they say studios don’t make anymore. They still do on occasion, but you need a guy like Clint Eastwood to pull them off.

LOS ANGELES — Johnny Lewis, an actor who played Kip “Half Sack” Epps on the cable TV show Sons of Anarchy, has fallen to his death after apparently beating to death his elderly landlady at a hillside home, authorities said.

The Los Angeles County coroner’s office on Thursday identified the bodies as those of Lewis, 28, and Catherine Davis, 81.

Coroner’s Watch Cmdr. Larry Deitz said he could not identify Lewis as being the actor. But the name and date of birth match, and both victims lived at the same address.

The causes of their deaths were unknown pending autopsies. Neighbours called police Wednesday morning to report a woman screaming and three men fighting.

Officers went to a home in the Los Feliz area near Hollywood and found the body of a woman in the driveway, Sgt. Frank Preciado said. Investigators believe she was struck or beaten.

Rowling fans line up for first adult novel THE CASUAL VACANCY CONTAINS REFERENCES TO SEX, DRUGS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — British bookshops opened their doors early Thursday and some grown-up Harry Potter fans lined up overnight as J.K. Rowling launched her long-anticipated first book for adults, The Casual Vacancy.

The lines were shorter and the wizard costumes missing, but the book was published to some of the same fanfare that greeted each Potter tome, with stores wheeling out crates of the books precisely at 8 a.m. as part of a finely honed marketing strategy.

Published five years after the release of the last book in the boy wizard saga, The Casual Vacancy is already at No. 1 on Amazon’s U.S. chart, and bookmaker William Hill put 2/1 odds on it outselling Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which shifted 2.6 million copies in Britain on its first day.

Many of the early buyers were Harry Potter fans who, like the author, have moved on to more adult fare.

“I just like how much excitement there is about a book,” said 23-year-old Grace Proctor, a “massive” Potter fan who was first to buy the book at one London store.

“I think there are going to be people who will hate it just because they can hate it,” she said. “But she’s such an amazing writer, I don’t think she can go wrong.”

A story of ambition, envy and rivalry set in the fictional English village of Pagford, the novel recounts the civic warfare sparked when the unexpected death of a town official leaves a vacancy on the governing body.

Characters set on a collision course range from the affluent lawyer Miles Mollison to the Weedons, a ramshackle clan living in The Fields, the run-down housing project on the edge of town.

Rowling has said she was aiming for Dickensian sweep in the multi-character saga, whose doses of sex, satire and swearing mark a distinct departure from wholesome Harry.

Reviews have been mixed. The Associated Press judged it a challenging but rewarding read full of emotion and heart.

AP’s Deepti Hajela said that while its troubled characters mean “this isn’t a book that’s easy to fall in love with. . . . But what could have been an unreadable story becomes something else in Rowling’s hands, thanks to her gift of being able to make her characters complex and really, just human.”

The Guardian newspaper’s review-

An employee looks at a copy of the The Casual Vacancy by author J.K. Rowling in a book store in London on Thursday.

British bookshops are opening their doors early as Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling launches her long anticipated first book for adults. Publishers have tried to keep details of the book under wraps ahead of its launch Thursday, but The Casual Vacancy has gotten early buzz about references to sex and drugs that might be a tad mature for the youngest Potter fans. er, Theo Tait, said it was “no masterpiece, but it’s not bad at all: intelligent, workmanlike, and often funny.”

The Independent’s Boyd Tonkin found the sometimes “long-winded and laborious” writing soared when Rowling focused on her teenage characters.

Others, though, felt the lack of likable characters might alienate readers, and Daily Mail reviewer Jan Moir

slammed Rowling’s stark focus on Pagford’s haves and have-nots as the work of a “left-leaning demagogue” painting “a bleak and rather one-sided vision of life in modern England.”

It’s likely nothing Rowling publishes will ever match the success of the Potter books, which have sold more than 450 million copies around the world.

But booksellers are confident The

Casual Vacancy will be one of the year’s bestsellers, whatever reviewers say.

“A lot of children have grown up with Harry Potter. They’re now adults who love books,” said Susan Sinclair, divisional manager for the Foyles bookstore chain.

“I think it’s going to be a really big seller at Christmas. It’ll be an easy gift — but also a good one.”

ANNIE ANNIE

Memories of a lifetime –

HOROSCOPE Friday, September 28 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Frankie Jonas, 12; Hillary Duff, 25; Naomi Watts, 44

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Rest allows the moments we need to rejuvenate so that we can have more energy for our goals. While you appreciate this intellectually, rest is the furthest thing from your mind. You are on fire and are having big dreams. Stop and let them sink in for a more effective plan forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Controversy can make things more interesting. Quick moments inspire you to be scandalous. It might be too late to hold back. As long as you can justify what you say, and stay connected to how far is just far enough, you have fun.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Each of us has certain phrases that we become accustomed to saying. They roll off our tongue and become a part of our most comfortable vernacular. But do those words truly serve us? Examine your language and choose your words wisely.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Sharing what you know has a way of opening new pathways to you, but in order for it to be most successful, it has to come about in a way that feels natural. Be open to all connections and conversations, and the benefits will arise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Money for its own sake is simply a numbers game, but money as a tool has been proven to open the way to more experiences.

You are ready for a bigger world than you have known. More money is part of the package.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Our most important relationships have the power to shift us, change us, and help us identify the things within us we no longer wish to be. They can also be sheer fun. A rendezvous is close. The attraction will lead you to wonderful selfdiscoveries.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): We can get caught up in the superficial and the exteriors, but there is something essential to us that is constant. The things you have strongly identified with in the past are losing meaning. This makes room for what is true and real.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): All our experiences make up the foundation of our psyche, but there is also something

Bouquets of flowers lie in front of a sculpture of the African continent, at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, following a ceremony commemorating the tenth anniversary of the 2002 Joola ferry disaster, in Dakar, Senegal on Wednesday.

With an official death toll of 1,863 and only 64 survivors, the Joola disaster remains one of the deadliest in maritime history, surpassing by a large margin the death toll of roughly 1500 in the 1912 sinking of the Titanic.

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle Autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. ~Ever loved, ever missed today, tomorrow and forever. Love Jerry

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.

All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake, from which I’ll never part.

God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — The arrest of a top Google executive is reviving a debate about Brazilian laws that hold services such as YouTube responsible for the videos posted on them, making the country a hotbed of attempts to stifle digital content.

Legal experts said Thursday that Google violated a judge’s order to take down videos on its YouTube subsidiary that target Brazilian political candidates — and that the judge was completely within the law in issuing the arrest warrant.

But they said the arrest of Fabio Jose Silva Coelho, the head of Google Inc.’s Brazil operations, underscores the need to modernize laws that treat offensive material on the Internet like material that is carried by newspapers, television and radio, holding platforms such as Google responsible for user-provided content.

Coelho was released shortly after his arrest Wednesday and agreed to appear before a court at an as-yet undetermined time. On Google’s official Brazil blog, Coelho wrote Thursday night that the company was forced to block the video in the case for which he was arrested after the company lost its final appeal.

“We are deeply disappointed that we have never had the full opportunity to argue in court that these were legitimate free speech videos and should remain available in Brazil,” he wrote.

“Despite all this, we will continue to campaign for free expression globally.”

Legal experts said the case cast a spotlight on problems within Brazil’s legal system.

“Our laws trying to govern the Internet are outdated,” said Jose Guilherme Zagallo, head of the Brazilian bar association’s commission focusing on information technology law. “It’s not clear who is responsible for content, and that creates uncertainty for Internet companies, users and judges,

who are left to interpret laws not written for the Internet.”

Brazil’s strict electoral laws limit what critics can say on television, radio and the Internet about candidates for office. On several occasions in recent years, media outlets have faced stiff fines for breaking the laws, but few if any officials were arrested.

Google’s alleged infractions, however, are more widespread, simply because of its omnipresence. Ahead of municipal elections in Brazil next month, Google has received requests in more than 20 states to remove videos that allegedly violate those restrictions.

Google has faced a landslide of content-removal requests around the globe, including in the U.S., but Brazil makes more requests than any other nation, according to the company’s summary of all the demands.

Most such demands relate to legitimate attempts to enforce laws on issues ranging from personal privacy to hate speech.

Brazilian government agencies alone submitted a total of 194 contentremoval requests during the final half of last year, according to a summary released by Google in June. Running just behind that was the United States, where police, prosecutors, courts and other government agencies submitted 187 requests to remove content over the same period.

Google says it complied fully or partially with 54 per cent of Brazilian removal requests in the last half of 2011.

Most requests involved YouTube and charges of defamation. Other requests involved the social networking site Orkut and requests to remove illegal content, such as child pornography.

Separately this week, another Brazilian court ordered YouTube to remove clips of an anti-Islam film that has been blamed for deadly protests

by Muslims around the globe. Google is now selectively blocking the video clips in countries that include Libya and Egypt. Google has said it made

the decision to block the video in such places due to “the sensitive situations” there.

Brazil’s legal action targeting a Google executive, while rare, is not unprecedented. In 2010 in Italy, a judge held three Google executives criminally responsible for an online video of an autistic teenager being bullied.

The executives were given six-month suspended sentences.

A judge in Mato Grosso do Sul state ordered Coelho arrested because the company had not removed YouTube videos making incendiary comments about an alleged paternity suit aimed at Alcides Bernal, who is running for mayor of the city of Campo Grande.

“Being a platform, Google is not responsible for the content posted on its site,” the company said in a statement this week.

Bruno Magrani, a researcher at the Center for Technology and Society at Rio de Janeiro’s Getulio Vargas Foundation, said that unlike the United States and some other countries, Brazil doesn’t have legal protections for online service providers that host content provided by third parties.

There is pending legislation that would provide some protection for intermediaries such as Google. Earlier this month the company joined Facebook and online retail site MercadoLivre in sending an open letter supporting the passage of the law, called Marco Civil.

“Marco Civil establishes that providers of Internet applications are not responsible for content published by users,” the letter says. “Various economic, social and legislative factors justify not holding providers responsible; without that protection, the use of online applications and platforms would be limited, which would be a loss to users.”

While the measure would create some protections, it would not resolve the legal tangle facing Google’s Coelho or prevent the situation from recurring, Magrani said.

More Venezuelans backing Chavez rival

by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CARACAS, Venezuela — Liliana Carias used to hope President Hugo Chavez would change her life. Not anymore.

She’s been living for years in a dirt-floor shack without running water, and after voting for Chavez in the last three presidential elections, the single mother of four said she’s tired of waiting for help.

She was among thousands of people who cheered for the president’s rival recently in the serpentine streets of Caracas’ Petare slum, which used to be a bastion of support for Chavez. She held out a handwritten letter addressed to “My future President Henrique Capriles,” the opposition challenger, writing that her salary as a supermarket cashier was no longer enough to support her family and she was worried her landlord would evict them.

“We need change,” Carias said as the drum-beating caravan paraded by. “I thought it would come with Chavez but I’m very disappointed. He promised us everything but nothing changed. I still don’t have running water, sewer or electricity.”

From single mothers to construction workers, some Chavez supporters have been turning away from the president to consider new leadership. They’ve become key to the Oct. 7 presidential

vote and Capriles’ strategy.

Surveys don’t indicate exactly which “Chavistas” are becoming “Caprilistas,” but the group appears to include working-class and lower-middle-class Venezuelans. Polls also reveal weariness over a growing yet troubled economy, 18 per cent inflation and one of the world’s highest murder rates.

Despite billions of dollars in government spending on social programs, solutions to problems such as the country’s severe housing shortage have been elusive.

Slums have grown during Chavez’s presidency, and the government’s construction of new housing projects hasn’t kept up with the legions of poor people like Carias who have applied for apartments and ended up waiting for years.

Now Chavez is spending heavily building apartments and paying out more benefits to poor families. But some in the working class still complain that they’re being bypassed and have lost faith in the government’s promises.

Chavez held a 10-point lead over Capriles in a survey released this week by the Venezuelan polling firm Datanalisis. But the 49 per cent who said they intend to vote for Chavez was dramatically lower than the 63 per cent who re-elected him in 2006. The latest poll said 11 per cent of those interviewed didn’t reveal a pref-

erence.

A survey by the Venezuelan polling firm Consultores 21 put the two candidates roughly even, with 46.5 per cent saying they would vote for Capriles and nearly 46 per cent saying they would vote for Chavez.

The poll questioned 1,500 people Sept. 7-18 and had an error margin of 3 percentage points. It also included a second question, in which people were asked to mark their choice in secret, in case they didn’t want to reveal their preference to the pollster. Under that method, Capriles had almost 49 per cent and Chavez just under 46 per cent.

Saul Cabrera, the polling company’s vice-president, said Thursday that the results show a “technical tie.”

He said the poll was paid for a Venezuelan business, but he declined to identify it.

Analysts say a strong turnout by disenchanted ex-Chavistas could help tip the balance in favour of the challenger.

“The votes of those who have changed sides are key in this race because without them, it would be impossible for Capriles to win,” said Luis Vicente Leon, president of Datanalisis.

Chavez first won the presidency in 1998 with promises to sweep away corrupt, entrenched political parties and help the poor in this oilrich country.

That message helped the

soldier-turned-politician win political dominance throughout the 2000s as the economy boomed along with oil earnings. Chavez has remained popular in part thanks to social programs including state-run grocery stores, medical clinics staffed by Cuban doctors and cash benefits for poor families.

Government figures show the number of Venezuelans living in poverty decreased most markedly between 2004 and 2007, and then in the following years budged little, while the opposition grew stronger and fared better in elections. In the 2010 congressional elections, for instance, the government held on to a majority of seats but the popular vote was almost evenly split between the pro- and antiChavez camps.

Chavez’s popularity slipped as the economy stalled, though it still hovered around 50 per cent or higher during much of the past year. In that time, he’s waged a protracted fight against cancer and had to square off against the opposition’s first candidate ever chosen in a primary vote.

“It’s clear that he’s not the same Chavez as he was in 2006,” Leon said. “His ratings in terms of performance and public approval have changed. If (Capriles) has a chance, it’s because of that. There’s a migration of votes. The question is: Is it enough?”

U.S. federal judge orders man behind antiMuslim film jailed for probation violations

by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — A federal judge on Thursday ordered a California man behind a crudely produced anti-Islamic video that inflamed parts of the Middle East to be detained because he is a flight risk.

U.S. Central District Chief Magistrate Judge Suzanne Segal said Nakoula Basseley Nakoula should be held after officials said he violated his probation term for a 2010 check fraud conviction.

A federal prosecutor said Nakoula had eight probation violations, including lying to his probation officers and using aliases.

After his 2010 conviction, Nakoula was sentenced to 21 months in prison and was barred from using computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer.

A 14-minute trailer for the film “Innocence of Muslims” was posted on YouTube in July, leading to protests around the Middle East. The trailer depicts Muhammad as a womanizer,

religious fraud and child molester.

The violence broke out Sept. 11 and has spread since, killing dozens. Nakoula, a Christian originally from Egypt, went into hiding after he was identified as the man behind the trailer.

In court Thursday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Dugdale said Nakoula was flight risk based on a “lengthy pattern of deception.”

“He has every incentive to disappear,” Dugdale said.

Nakoula, 55, was handcuffed and shackled in court.

The full story about Nakoula and the video still isn’t known.

The movie was made last year by a man who called himself Sam Bacile.

After the violence erupted, a man who identified himself as Bacile called media outlets including The Associated Press, took credit for the film and said it was meant to portray the truth about Muhammad and Islam, which he called a cancer. The next day, the AP determined there was no Bacile and linked the identity to Nakoula, a former gas station owner with a drug conviction and a history of using aliases.

Federal authorities later confirmed there was no Bacile and that Nakoula was behind the movie.

Before going into hiding, Nakoula acknowledged to the AP he was involved with the film, but said he only worked on logistics and management.

A film permit listed Media for Christ, a Los Angeles-area charity run by other Egyptian Christians, as the production company. Most of the film was made at the charity’s headquarters. Steve Klein, an insurance agent in Hemet and outspoken Muslim critic, has said he was a consultant and promoter for the film. The trailer still can be found on YouTube. The Obama administration asked Google, YouTube’s parent, to take down the video. But the company has refused, saying it did not violate its content standards.

Meanwhile, a number of actors and workers on the film have come forward to say they were tricked. They say they were hired for a film titled “Desert Warrior” and there was no mention of Islam or Muhammad in the script. Those references were dubbed in after filming was completed.

Woman worries about age difference with boyfriend Question: I have just entered into a relationship with a man whom I really love and care for.

I have one small but nagging concern about our relationship — I’m 22 years old and he’s almost 40.

Is this a problem? Will it be a problem in the future?

Jim: There’s nothing inherently wrong with such an arrangement, but there are certainly some things you should consider before going too deep into the relationship.

The first has to do with the basic difference in your life experiences.

You’re barely beyond college-age; he’s approaching midlife and has already spent considerable time in the adult world pursuing a career and having romantic relationships.

Under normal circumstances, he will have achieved a greater degree of maturity than you have at this stage in your life.

Now, I’m not accusing you of being “immature.”

And it’s quite possible that he’s young at heart.

But you should honestly consider whether the difference in your levels of life experience will impact your relationship before forging ahead.

In addition, some young women are attracted to older men because they’re really looking for a father figure.

The men recognize this and end up manipulating or controlling their younger girlfriends.

Take a personal inventory and consider whether you view your boyfriend as a peer and partner, or if you’re seeking an unmet father-need in your life. If it’s the latter, you should put a halt to the relationship in fairness to you both.

I know plenty of happily married couples who have significant age differences between them. But you do need to take these things into account before moving forward.

Question: When I got engaged last week, I got a hostile reaction from my parents, especially my mom.

She believes we’re “too young,” even though we’re both in our mid-20s! I’m wondering if this is because of the “empty nest” syndrome — my mom and I have always been close, and I’m the last of her children to leave the home.

Meat, tofu among recommended iron-rich foods for Canadian babies

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

JIM DALY JULI SLATTERY

FOCUS ON FAMILY We’ve always been a tight-knit family and this crisis really concerns me. What should I do?

Juli: Even though, in your mind, parents should greet an engagement with a lot of enthusiasm, it’s fairly normal for them to have some anxiety, and even hostility.

You’ve already touched on the idea that it will be difficult for your mom to let you go.

Your marriage means a huge transition, not only in your relationship with her, but in her own life.

Give her time to adjust to the idea of losing you.

Having said that, your parents may also have legitimate concerns about your engagement.

Often they can see something that you can’t.

For example, they may observe that your fiance is controlling or rude.

If they’re hitting on something that could be true, validate the concern.

You could say, “I can see what you’re saying.

That’s why we are going through premarital counseling.”

This mature attitude will assure your parents that you’re going into marriage with your eyes wide open and that you’re aware of possible red flags.

If your parents continue to harp on the same concerns, remind them that you’ve already talked about that and considered their advice.

Also, be careful not to put your fiance in the middle of the drama with your parents.

Emotions are probably running high on all sides.

Don’t make decisions or statements that could do lasting damage to the long-term relationships.

Your parents will likely come around to supporting your engagement and marriage. In the meantime, reaffirm your love for them, acknowledging that this is a tough time for them.

TORONTO — Meat and tofu are joining the list of recommended first foods for Canadian babies.

The recommendations are part of a joint statement from the Infant Feeding Joint Working Group.

The group is a collaboration among Health Canada, Canadian Paediatric Society, Dietitians of Canada and Breastfeeding Committee for Canada.

Health Canada recommends that babies be given breast milk only until they are six months old. Previously, Canadian guidelines recommended that only cereal be introduced after that age. But new standards also include the introduction of meat and meat alternatives like eggs, tofu and legumes to help meet nutritional needs.

A 1998 statement developed collaboratively by the Canadian Paediatric Society, Dietitians of Canada and Health Canada recommended “iron-containing foods such as iron-fortified cereals,” as the first foods for infants, but didn’t list specific suggestions for other alternatives.

“While meat and fish are traditional first foods for some Aboriginal groups, the common practice in North America has been to introduce infant cereal, vegetables, and fruit as first complementary foods,” the new statement reads.

The working group writes that infants should be offered iron-containing foods two or more times each day, with meat, fish, poultry or meat alternatives served daily. Guidance on nutrition for children from six months to two years of age will be covered in a separate statement, available in 2013-14.

Erratic heart hurts the brain Romantic love, a glimpse of Brad Pitt on the big screen, winning the lottery ... plenty of good things can make your heart skip a beat.

But the erratic palpitations of a seriously off-beat ticker are worth avoiding, because they spell big trouble for (surprise!) your brain.

Yes, your brain. Here’s how it happens.

Out-of-rhythm heartbeats, called atrial fibrillation (AF or Afib for short), make the muscles in your heart’s upper chambers (the atria, hence “atrial fib”) quiver and flutter instead of steadily pumping blood into the lower chambers.

That causes blood to pool in the left atrium, so it can’t flow smoothly out of the heart into your blood vessels. And that can encourage blood clots to form.

The next strong beat can then sweep those clots to your brain, where they block blood flow, destroying brain tissue and causing a stroke.

In fact, one in 25 men and one in 17 women with Afib experience a stroke; 70 percent of Afib-fueled brain attacks are fatal; 15 percent of North American adults eventually develop Afib; and ... well, the stats go on and on, but the message is clear: You want to do all you can to keep your heart beating regularly.

Seventy-five percent of strokes caused by Afib are preventable.

Experts are still tracking down precisely what makes the electrical wiring in your heart go haywire and alter the rhythm of your heartbeats.

But we do know this: The same steps that guard against heart disease protect your heart’s wiring.

Toss in a nifty D-I-Y check that’ll have you tapping your toes, a little common sense (particularly if you’ve already got Afib), and you’re going to see big rewards: Here’s how: Take this early-warning test. Find your pulse at your neck or wrist, then try to tap your foot to the beat for a full minute.

If there isn’t a regular beat, see your doc for an evaluation of your heart rhythm. Also, watch out for Afib’s sneaky signs: chest pain; feeling dizzy, lightheaded or out of breath; and being chronically weak or tired. If you’ve got any of these symptoms, talk with your doctor.

Know your risk. Having blood relatives with Afib boosts your risk.

So does having high blood pressure, diabetes, a heart murmur, congestive heart failure or an overactive thyroid that hasn’t been treated. Taking care of these conditions and pampering your heart with the following strategies is a smart move.

1. Feed (and exercise) a healthy heart. You know the drill: Fill your plate with colorful produce (especially green!), 100 percent whole grains, lean protein, healthy fats and fat-free dairy products; go light on the salt; and, avoid all added sugars and sugar syrups.

That’s a great way to cut your risk for high blood pressure or to control it if you’ve got it.

It also gives you plenty of magnesium, a mineral shown to help your heart keep a steady beat. Add a half-hour walk daily, too.

The same strategy can help you sidestep diabetes and lose unwanted weight (or maintain a svelte physique). That’s good news, because both boost Afib odds, too.

2. Say “no thanks” to that second drink. More than two alcoholic drinks a day can boost your risk.

3. At risk? Got Afib? Go easy on caffeine and more.

An extra-large latte habit (if you’re at risk) could bring on palpitations. Same goes for stimulants, especially energy drinks, diet pills, nicotine, recreational drugs and over-the-counter cold, cough and sinusitis medications that contain pseudoephedrine.

4. Follow your doctor’s orders. Two out of three people with Afib don’t think it’s a serious health concern. Be smart and safe by taking medications and following strategies your doc recommends. This may include clot-stopping drugs or even surgery. Add a

CHICAGO — Just like age-defying baby boomers, older folks have seen a surge in knee replacement surgeries, driven partly by a desire to stay active and by joint-damaging obesity.

The findings are in a study of more than 3 million Medicare patients, aged 65 and older, who got artificial knees from 1991 through 2010. Almost 10 per cent of the operations were redos — replacing worn-out artificial joints. The number of initial kneereplacement surgeries each year on these older patients more than doubled during that time, rising to nearly 244,000 in 2010. Patients were in their mid-70s on average when they had surgery; that age edged up slightly during the study. The aging population and rising numbers of Medicare enrollees contributed to the increase. But the per capita rate also increased, from about 3 surgeries per 10,000 enrollees in 1991 to 5 per 10,000 in 2010. “There’s a huge percentage of older adults who are living longer and want to be active,” and knee replacement surgery is very effective, said lead author Dr. Peter Cram.

Red Deer Advocate, in partnership with Red Deer Co-op will be giving away up to $6200 in Red Deer Co-op Grocery Gift Cards.
