Meat plant probe launched CFIA TO CONDUCT DETAILED ASSESSMENT OF XL FOODS LTD., THE CENTRE OF MASSIVE BEEF RECALL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Canadian Food Inspection Agency will be conducting a detailed assessment today of the Alberta processing plant at the heart of a massive tainted beef recall.

The review follows a written request from XL Foods Inc. to have its license reinstated after it was revoked

in late September due to deficiencies in its operations.

A slew of problems was uncovered following the discovery of E.coli in meat products from the Brooks, Alta., facility, which led to the recall of hundreds of products around the world and public outcry over why that recall took so long to be issued.

Family stars in compost videos

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A Red Deer family have agreed to become the face of composting for a city-run initiative to encourage local residents to reduce their garbage.

“We are putting together a video of this family that has never composted before,” said Lauren Maris, an environmental program specialist for the City of Red Deer. “We’re going to track

them throughout a season of composting.”

The idea behind the project is to show people how to compost, but also to dispel misconceptions that composting takes a lot of work or is inconvenient.

It is an offshoot of the city’s Composting at Home program, in which 259 families were given all the tools and training they need to start composting.

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer RCMP are looking for a hit-and-run driver after a man was found lying fatally injured on Taylor Drive bridge early Saturday.

Police say the man was found about 2:05 a.m. lying in the northbound lanes on the bridge. He had been fatally injured after being struck by a car, said police.

“The suspect vehicle and driver did not remain at the scene of the collision and evidence at the scene indicated that the vehicle has sustained significant front-end damage,” says a release from Cpl. John Babbitt.

RCMP Sgt. Jim Moran said an autopsy is expected to be performed in Calgary on Tuesday.

Moran couldn’t provide any more details about what may have happened or whether he was believed to have been alone at the time of the collision.

Police expected to release more information today.

Marrian Bertin, of Castor, said the victim was her 18-year-old grandson Paul Gabriel Bertin.

He had recently moved to Red Deer

and was living with two of his five brothers and had just started working in a fencing business with them.

Marrian said her grandson, who also has a sister, was raised and home schooled on an acreage about 50 km south of Botha.

“They’re all very creative,” she said of Paul and his siblings, “But he had something very special.

“He was very smart. He was good in math he had a future ahead of him.

“He had just started his first serious job.”

The teen, who sported a green mohawk, and played guitar and piano, was well liked by all, she said.

“He was fun to be around. Everybody who knew him liked him.”

Paul was killed only a couple of blocks from home. His brothers had not been with him the night of the collision, she said.

Marrian said police have told them the vehicle believed to have been involved has been found but the family knows little else about what happened that night. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

market was an extension its hours to 2 p.m. from 12:30 p.m.

Extended hours will be back next year, but Moffat said closing will be trimmed back to 1 p.m. because vendors said the last hour was quiet.

That will also give vendors more time to make the Bentley market, which starts at 1:30 p.m. “I don’t want to hurt another market,” he said.

Woolen Wonders’ Beverly Williams was doing a brisk business on Saturday selling all things warm and woolly.

Williams said she liked the longer hours, but said 2 p.m. was a little late to wrap up.

“It could stop at 1:30 p.m. By 1:30 p.m. it’s kind of getting dead and everybody starts leaving.”

Now that the market is done, her next stop will be the Parkland Mall, where she will set up shop from Nov. 11 to Dec. 31.

Red Deer’s public market finished the season in style on Saturday, with glorious weather drawing another big crowd.

Mind you, gorgeous weather has been routine as the market celebrated 42 years this year.

“It was one of the best years we ever had,” said Dennis Moffat, who owns and operates the market with son Patrick.

“Weather-wise, we were very lucky.

We only had one bad day.”

Usually, three or four Saturdays test the resilience of vendors during the season, he said.

Moffat said he’s never seen the number of shoppers that they had this year, estimating crowds at 12,000 to 16,000 depending on the Saturday.

Mountain bikers learn to build VOLUNTEERS GRAB TOOLS TO CARVE OUT NEW SECTION OF TRAIL

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF School was in for local mountain bikers on Saturday.

The subject: trail building 101.

A group of mountain bikers went to class at the City of Red Deer’s civic yards administration building on Saturday morning to learn how to build trails that will last. In the afternoon, they got an opportunity to put their lessons to the test.

About a dozen volunteers grabbed their shovels, hoes and pickaxes to carve out a new section of trail just north of the city’s mountain bike park, which is located on the slope near 79th Street and 47th Avenue.

The instruction and trail build was a joint project between the City of Red Deer, Central Alberta Bicycle Club and the International Mountain Bike Association.

Association spokesperson Rachael Raven said the organization travels to communities across Canada to share its expertise and help others build sustainable trails.

“Our mission is to create, preserve and enhance great trail opportunities for mountain bikers,” said Raven, who was one of two members of the association in Red Deer to demonstrate trailbuilding techniques.

The goal is to build trails that are sustainable, she said. “A big part of that is having a low impact on the environment.

MEAT: Re-opening will be gradual This week’s assessment won’t necessarily green-light the plant to reopen, CFIA officials said in a conference call late Monday afternoon.

“This is a pre-resumption of operation inspection, in no way it should be construed as they will be in production at this point,” said Dr. Harpreet Kochhar, the executive director of Western operations for the food agency.

Kochhar said re-opening the plant would be a gradual process that begins with determining whether the plant has addressed all the issues raised by inspectors since E. coli was first detected.

They include maintenance and sanitation issues as well as the management of E.coli risk.

“We will walk through the establishment, make sure the corrective action plans have been implemented, the food safety controls are there and after that we will make a recommendation to senior CFIA officials to go progressively to the next step,” he said.

That would include walking through the plant again when it resumes limited operations to ensure that changes have in fact been made, he said.

There was no answer at the plant’s media relations line late Monday, except for a statement recorded last week saying the company was working with CFIA officials.

All products at the plant will remain under CFIA’s control during the review.

E. coli was first detected at the

plant on Sept. 4 but it took 12 days for the first of an ever-expanding series of public alerts to be issued while food inspectors scrutinized the plant’s operations.

That ultimately led to the plant’s license being suspended on Sept. 27.

The number of illnesses linked to beef products from the plant stands at 11 people from four provinces, with the latest case confirmed on Monday in British Columbia.

That individual has since recovered, public health officials said.

The CFIA said Monday that the XL plant exported to over 20 countries and products from all of them are on their way back.

The Hong Kong Centre for Food Safety posted a statement on its website saying a small portion of affected products have been distributed to retailers there.

Kochhar said Sunday that in addition to Canadian audits, the plant has undergone eight foreign audits over the last four years by countries which buy its products.

Meanwhile, U.S. officials now say the amount of recalled beef imported from the XL plant is almost triple the original estimate.

The US Food Safety Inspection Service estimates at least 1.1 million kilograms of beef from XL Foods entered their country.

The CFIA also added more products to its list of recalls on Sunday, including raw beef and ready-to-eat products sold in B.C under the Africa Trading and HanAhReum Mart brands, or sold at Urban Fare.

The federal government has come under fire for its handling of the E. coli scare.

There have been questions raised by opposition politicians and others about whether the food safety system is working and whether there are enough inspectors after government funding cuts.

MARKET: Blessed While there’s been some talk of trying to start a year-round market in the city’s old bus barns, Williams said she’s not sure whether she would want to give up her winter break to sell all year.

At Nostalgia Soapworks, Judith Moody also enjoyed a good year.

“We were blessed by the weather,” she said.

Moody said the longer hours were a plus.

“Then people didn’t think , ‘Oh God, I have to hurry to get down there,’” she said.

It also created a more casual atmosphere, she believes.

Moody said a year-round indoor market would be great for Red Deer.

But the key to its success will ensure it is well organized ahead of time.

“All the details have to be taken care of first.”

Jane Cameron, of The BBQ Hut, said the extended hours went over well with customers.

“I talked to a lot of people who said I’m so glad (because) I could never make it down by noon.”

Mayor Morris Flewwelling and Coun. Buck Buchanan were at the market along with several other councillors on Saturday chatting with residents.

Flewwelling said the year-round market idea seems to have lost some steam, partly over questions of who would own and operate it. The economic slowdown may also have been a factor.

Buchanan said the idea could get moved to the front burner again if someone came forward to push it.

“But it needs a champion.” pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

wants to step up its trail building in coming years. Among the tips was guidance on how to keep water from accumulating on trails so they aren’t eroded and how best to build trails that will last.

“We want to build a trail and ride it,” said Leckie. “We don’t want to spend a whole summer working. We want to have fun too.”

Club representative Rod Rysavy said while mountain bikers are keen users of the trails, they are open to all including joggers, walkers and any who enjoy strolling or taking in the outdoors.

Rysavy said the club wants to see more trails built around the city. The best way to do that is to showcase what can be done at the mountain bike park, which the city has officially sanctioned as a place for trail riding.

“We really tried to make this into a model area so we can have more trails as the city expands,” he said.

“It’s a sustainable trail, but it’s not just sustainable for mountain bikers, it’s sustainable for all users.”

The club has about 70 members but is always looking for more people interested in joining or volunteers to help build trails. Donations of lumber, dirt or the use of heavy equipment are also welcomed. For information go to http://centralalbertabicycle.blogspot. ca pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

B.C. resident sick from E. coli linked to Alberta beef recall

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — A Nanaimo resident has become the first person in British Columbia confirmed to have been sickened by tainted beef processed by the XL Foods plant in Alberta.

Health officials say lab tests that came back Monday showed the man’s E. coli illness was caused by the same strain that has made at least 10 others sick across the country.

Officials say the man came down with symptoms in mid-September, was hospitalized and has since recovered. They could not immediately say the person’s age.

“This shows there is a potential risk in B.C., but this is not a surprise to us,” Dr. Eleni Galanis, with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, told reporters after the results were released.

She noted it’s estimated about a third of B.C.’s beef comes from the plant in Brooks, Alta., meaning some of the contaminated beef likely was sold in provincial stores.

“Although, that is hopefully mostly off the shelves by now,” she said. “However, it might have led to some infections and this would have occurred probably during the month of September.”

The massive beef recall began after E. coli was detected at the plant last month.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said Monday products exported to more than 20 countries were being sent back to XL Foods. That includes about 1.1. million kilograms sold to the U.S. Galanis said that in general, two to three E. coli cases are reported in B.C. every week.

She said there were 11 cases in September.

‘Power of hope’ helps save child from sexual exploitation PANEL DISCUSSION FOLLOWING PERFORMANCE OF RED DEER PLAYWRIGHT ANDREW KOOMAN’S ‘SHE HAS A NAME’ HEARS STORY OF RESCUE OF ONE GIRL others escape from the street as a member of Edmonton’s Committee to End All Sexual Exploitation (CEASE).

She too says we must never give up pressuring the government, police and all Canadians to do something about human trafficking and save others from experiencing what she did before she broke free.

“What is hope? I’m hope.”

Angie Redecopp, of International Justice Mission of Canada, a human rights organization that seeks justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression, said while saving one life at a time is important bigger scale, long-term solutions must also be sought.

One such effort in the Philippines was able to noticeably reduce the amount of child sex trafficking, she said.

The first two-minute video has already been shot at the home of Breanne and Mardy Hansen, parents of a three-yearold son, Hunter, and oneyear-old Julia.

About half a dozen videos will be shot in all and will be available on the city’s website at www.reddeer.ca/composting and on the city’s YouTube channel.

“We’re going to go back and see them before the snow flies and see how their weekly routine goes,” said Maris. “We’ll go back once in the winter to show them doing winter composting.”

Another shoot will take place in the spring and then they will be filmed harvesting their compost. “I think it’s going to be a really good overall demonstration of how this family does it.”

A longer video on composting at home is also being prepared with more detail.

Breanne Hansen said she recycles and has been considering composting for some time.

Breanne Hansen and son Hunter, 3, top up the family’s compost bin. The Hansens have agreed to share their experiences on video as they learn to compost.

“I really just didn’t know where to start.

You walk through those Home Hardware places and they have a 100 different types of composters. That’s why I hadn’t done it before.”

Hansen said she was a little taken aback when

she found out she was going to be captured on video but she’s happy to share her experiences.

“I think I’m really lucky to get the chance to show other people,” she said. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

A panel discussion on human trafficking and child sex slaves ended with a message of hope on Saturday.

Mission of Mercy Canada’s Rachel Hansen spoke of a girl, not yet 10, who was rescued after being trafficked for sex in India.

Her horrific ordeal had left her so mentally unbalanced she had to be shackled and was finally turned over to a mercy centre by her village, which did not know what to do with her.

There, the other rescued children “literally spoke life into this child again,” said Hansen.

Later, when asked what life at the centre had done for her, the young girl said I will show you. She put on some music and began to dance.

“A child, who had to be shackled, danced for me. That is the power of hope,” Hansen told the audience of about 70 who had stayed to hear the panel discussion following a performance of Red Deer playwright Andrew Kooman’s She Has a Name at the Scott Block.

To never give up despite the depressing magnitude of the human trafficking plague was the message from the four-person panel.

And the scale of the problem is enormous.

Hansen said it is estimated 200 woman and children are trafficked every day in India. “Most of them will be forgotten.”

And that is only one nation among many that are part of a $52 billion a year trafficking industry.

Brian McConaghy,

who is with Ratanak, which focuses on the rescue and rehabilitation of children in Cambodia, said the victims Brian as young McConaghy as seven are considered torture victims.

“This is slavery, alive and well.” Despite the depressing enormity of the problem, McConaghy said society can’t give up trying to help, even if it is only one life at a time.

The campaign to end slavery took decades, he said. “We need to have that kind of response.”

A panel member who asked to be identified only as Norma was working the streets as a prostitute at 12 years old and was trafficked by Grim Reapers motorcycle gang.

The last word on bicycles?

Like most people in Red Deer, I’m almost glad for the killing frost last week, so we can think about the onset of another winter and get back to our normal lives of griping about the city’s lousy snow-clearing program.

A supposition on my part, but I figure everything that could GREG be said about NEIMAN bike transportation in Red Deer has been said, and written, too many times already.

Except that there’s been so much misinformation and outright swiftboating on the issue, that before the last words are spoken, an overview would probably be a good idea.

Let’s talk first about the $800,000 council supposedly wasted on the bike lanes pilot project. (A good portion of that money was indeed wasted, be-

INSIGHT

cause a major portion of the project was reversed before any data could be collected.)

The city’s total budget this year is something like $367 million. That’s what it costs to run a city; that’s what we are all taxed for.

Out of every tax dollar you pay, nine per cent is spent on public works. That comes out to just over $33 million for maintaining our streets, traffic lights, parking, snow clearing, bridge maintenance — things like that.

We already know that 90 per cent of all transportation in Red Deer is by car, that 90 per cent of commutes are one person per car, and that the vast majority of those trips are five km or less. That’s the congestion you live with on the roads. And we all know it’s going to get worse, not better as the city grows.

And it’s caused by cars, not bikes or bike lanes.

Just the opposite. Bikes and bike lanes are the solution. Part of it anyway. Studies done on transportation infrastructure in the U.S. point to a 30 per cent reduction in perceived road congestion, with a three per cent drop in car numbers on the streets. That

drop can be achieved with better use of car pooling, public transit, walking — and cycling.

When we talk about Red Deer’s $200-million debt, most of that is for more streets and roads to relieve current congestion and allow for growth.

It also includes strip-mining a mile of natural land on the riverbank for a new bridge, destroying the last link in the wildlife corridor between the river and Gaetz Lake Sanctuary.

But nobody gripes about the cost of that. Most of us agree that’s what we need to let our city grow and keep it livable.

How about this? If we can agree that three per cent of Red Deer commutes are by bike through much of the year, wouldn’t fairness to those taxpayers suggest that three per cent of the public works budget be spent on infrastructure for them? That’s just under $1 million per year.

Especially if you consider that reducing the number of car commutes makes city travel safer, faster, more pleasant and ultimately cheaper for the taxpayer.

People who have studied city maps and bikeways have discovered that

homes in U.S. cities that are close to public paths and bike lanes receive an average 11 per boost in property values. That’s a direct subsidy, courtesy of taxpayers, paid on every home sold in those areas.

So let’s end the swiftboating about the cost of this pilot project, OK? A million words have been published lately about the ambiguous status of cyclists in Red Deer. Some really nasty words have been written saying cyclists should just use the sidewalks.

Other writers say cyclists who ride on sidewalks are cretins who ought to be grease spots.

The solution for this is totally in council’s hands. Pass a bylaw forbidding sidewalk cycling, and pass another saying no vehicle can pass within 1.5 metres of a cyclist when they ride on the streets. To settle the issue, you need both.

Failing that, there can be no change, so everyone should just shut up. I’ll try to do that myself. Besides, I’ve got a tune-up to get done on my winter bike.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

City blindsided Clearview North residents; Advocate unfair As a resident of Clearview Ridge, I am frustrated that the article in the Red Deer Advocate regarding the proposed changes to Clearview North was titled Not in our backyard.

This was not the main concern that was brought forward by the residents that spoke.

The clear message that residents tried to get across was that we feel that the City of Red Deer has not been forthcoming with information.

If these changes have been in the works for four years, why are residents just learning about it now?

Why were we not able to make informed decisions when we purchased our homes?

My husband and I moved into this neighbourhood in 2011 (three years after the rezoning was first brought up). I spent over a month researching this neighbourhood and never came across any information that would indicate that this proposal was in the works.

Would we have purchased our home if these changes were common knowledge? I don’t know. And unfortunately I will never know as the City of Red Deer did not make the information readily available when we made our decision.

The title of the article should not have been Not in our backyard. This makes it sound that we are not supportive of these developments in our city. What the title should have been is Residents of Clearview North blindsided by city.

The economic impact of climate change The failure of world leaders to act on the critical issue of global warming is often blamed on economic considerations. Over and over, we hear politicians say they can’t spend our tax dollars on environmental protection when the economy is so fragile.

Putting aside the absurdity of prioritizing a human-created and adaptable tool like the economy over caring for everything that allows us to survive and be healthy, let’s take a look at the economic reality.

A new scientific report concludes that climate change is already costing the world $1.2 trillion a year and is eating up 1.6 per cent of global GDP, and rising. It’s also killDAVID ing at least 400,000 people evSUZUKI ery year, mainly in developing countries. That’s not counting the 4.5 million people a year who die from air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels.

As Michael Zammit Cutajar, former executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, told the Guardian: “Climate change is not just a distant threat but a present danger — its economic impact is already with us.”

But we’re to believe that corporate profits, everincreasing growth, consumer culture, disposable products and often-meaningless jobs to keep it all going are more important than the health and survival of humans and other species, and true long-term economic prosperity.

The report, Climate Vulnerability Monitor: A Guide to the Cold Calculus of a Hot Planet, was compiled by 50 scientists, economists and experts for the Europebased non-governmental organization DARA and 20 countries that joined to form the Climate Vulnerable Forum.

As stated in the preface, it “challenges a conventional view: that global action on climate change is a cost to society.

Instead, it enlightens our understanding of how tackling climate change through co-ordinated efforts between nations would actually produce much-needed benefits for all.”

The report’s authors also conclude that the challenges of global poverty and climate change “can be tackled simultaneously with the same policy framework that would shift our development path to a low-carbon footing,” creating “jobs, investment opportunities, new possibilities for international cooperation and technological deployment to the benefit of all.”

Although the researchers note that adaptation must be part of any climate change strategy, they caution that “treating only the symptoms but not the cause of the climate crisis would result in spectacular economic losses for the world economy.”

It shouldn’t be surprising to realize that using finite resources in a wasteful manner and at a pace much faster than the Earth’s ability to replenish them is economic folly. Nor should we be surprised to learn that polluting, damaging and destroying the natural systems that keep us alive and healthy will not be good for our long-term prosperity, economic or otherwise.

Rapid population growth and technological innovation, combined with our lack of understanding

about how the natural systems of which we are a part work, have created a mess. We have altered the physical, chemical and biological properties of the planet on a geological scale. We have left no part of the globe untouched. French scientists who recently completed a two-and-half-year journey covering more than 112,000 km through the Atlantic, Pacific, Antarctic and Indian oceans found plastic debris in a remote ocean area that was thought to be pristine.

Researchers on the boat Tara, who were studying the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems and biodiversity, found plastic fragments in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica at levels comparable to the global average.

“The fact that we found these plastics is a sign that the reach of human beings is truly planetary in scale,” said Chris Bowler, scientific co-ordinator of Tara Oceans, quoted in the Guardian. It also reminds us that we live on a planet where everything is connected.

We must learn to shift our ways of thinking. We have to stop using so many disposable plastic items and fossil fuels. We need to conserve resources and energy and stop being so destructive. The DARA report offers many recommendations for governments, policy-makers, civil society, the private sector and the international development and humanitarian communities.

Its advice for communicators applies to all of us: question received wisdom, recognize awareness of risks as an opportunity and take a stand. Economies must function to serve people, not just short-sighted and often-destructive corporate interests.

Pipeline critics being targeted on donors

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Organizations founded by an American oil baron and a Silicon Valley philanthropist are among the foreign charities being targeted by Enbridge in its battle against critics of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline.

Tens of millions of dollars have been donated to conservation groups and initiatives in B.C., for everything from Earth Day celebrations to aboriginal salmon recovery programs.

It’s a point of contention for

the pipeline proponent, which has asked the environmental review panel examining the Northern Gateway project to compel funding information from its critics.

The panel returns to B.C. this week for final hearings on the controversial project.

And it’s a point of contention for Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver, who earlier this year decried the “foreign special interest groups” that “threaten to hijack our regulatory system to achieve their radical ideological agenda.”

Specifically, Enbridge has

singled out in requests submitted to the panel: ● The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, a California-based organization founded by the co-founder of Intel Corporation that focuses on conservation, scientific research and patient health. ● The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, a California-based social and environmental charity founded by Hewlett-Packard co-founder William R. Hewlett. ● The Rockefeller Foundation, a philanthropic venture of John D. Rockefeller Sr., the American industrialist

who founded the Standard Oil Company. ● Tides Canada, a Vancouver-based organization that distributes donations to initiatives on climate change, wilderness protection, marine conservation, aboriginal issues, poverty, and international development. ● The Bullitt Foundation, a fund for environmental, children’s and peace initiatives founded by Seattle philanthropist Dorothy Bullitt, founder of KING Broadcasting Co. The Bullitt Foundation has awarded almost $1 million over the past 16 years to the David Suzuki Foundation and

$735,000 over 13 years to the environmental law group EcoJustice.

Other foundation funding directed toward British Columbia includes: the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre (one grant worth $20,000), Tides Foundation (20 grants totalling $564,000), and the Sierra Club (9 grants worth $210,000).

In August, the Moore Foundation announced $2 million over the next three years for the World Wildlife Fund Canada.

Calls to Enbridge Northern Gateway seeking comment were not returned.

He said the two governments are not on the same “wavelength” on a number of issues, but Lisee also noted he had good relations with Valcourt.

“I’m not expecting any stunts from the federal government, and if the federal government puts forward its position on greenhouse gases or on Israel or on something else...we’ll accept it for what it is,” said Lisee.

“We’ll expect to be accepted for what we are too.”

OTTAWA, Ont. — Prime Minister Stephen Harper will come faceto-face this week with Pauline Marois for the first time since she was elected premier of Quebec, but instead of a clashing of swords there might be a meeting of the minds.

The two leaders will both be travelling to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for the Francophonie Summit, and so far their governments seem to agree on what they hope to accomplish — and are speaking pleasantly about each other to boot.

Canada, Quebec and New Brunswick are full member governments of the Francophonie, a concession agreed to by former prime minister Brian Mulroney in the 1980s.

“I fully expect as members, subscribing to the values and ideals of the Francophonie, that Canada and New Brunswick and Quebec of course will all sing from the same songsheet, which is to promote the values and the ways that we can see progress accomplished,” Bernard Valcourt, Canada’s minister of state for the Francophonie, said in an interview.

Valcourt’s sentiments are markedly different than the first pointed statements the Harper government made about the election of separatist Marois and the revisiting of “old constitutional battles.”

Both Valcourt and Jean-Francois Lisee, Quebec’s international relations minister, see the troubles in the DRC as one of the major issues of the summit.

The country’s 2011 presidential elections were marred by irregularities and crackdowns on opponents.

Lisee said opposition and civil society groups in the country have supported holding the summit as a way to put pressure on the government of Joseph Kabila. The country has provincial and local elections scheduled for 2013.

“We won’t go there to legitimize an election tainted with irregularities, we’re going with a message of our determination to support the forces of democracy in the DRC for the next elections,” Lisee told The Canadian Press.

“That’s what we want the Congolese population to take from our presence, that we’ve come to help them rediscover democracy, not to lend credibility to past elections.”

Valcourt echoed the view that the summit is an opportunity to raise human rights issues. He said he intends to meet with opposition figures, as he did during a visit in June.

“The first point that I’m sure Canada is going to make since we’re going to be in the DRC is to encourage and also to loudly call for actions by

the DRC to improve the situation in terms of democratization, in terms of the respect for human rights and also the rule of law...,” said Valcourt.

Canada and Quebec also intend to support a declaration at the summit to help ban so-called blood mining, where products are illegally extracted and used to fund conflicts.

Lisee said that Marois will likely use her opening speech to talk about women’s equality — she being the only female leader expected to attend. And he said she’ll emphasize the protec-

Aboriginal health-benefit claims come under scrutiny

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — A number of pharmacies have come under close scrutiny from the company that handles claims made to the aboriginal health-benefits plan, newly released documents show.

Confidential audits offer a rare glimpse at some of the billings that raised questions in the minds of the claims administrator.

Among them are claims with missing or mismatched paperwork, unauthorized prescriptions and refills and excessively high dispensing fees.

The Canadian Press obtained hundreds of pages of audits under the Access to Information Act as part of a months-long investigation into alleged abuses of federal money for aboriginal health care.

The audits come from Mississauga-based Express Scripts Canada, which administers claims for dental, medical supplies and equipment and pharmacy benefits on behalf of the Non-Insured Health Benefits program.

The NIHB program provides health-benefit coverage to eligible First Nations people and Inuit when they are not insured by private or provincial plans.

The documents show Express Scripts Canada has audited pharmacies and other types of service providers in every province and territory.

In some cases, honest mistakes or simple oversights, such as forgetting to submit paperwork, appear to explain the billing issues. Other times, phar-

THE CANADIAN PRESS NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Dozens of protesters rushed the gates of Marineland on Sunday demanding an end to what they called the abuse of whales, dolphins and other animals at the amusement park, but the situation was quickly brought under control, police and organizers said.

“No one was really expecting what happened today, but it happened and I feel the anger that people feel,” said Dylan Powell of Marineland Animal Defence, one of the groups behind the protest.

The protesters say they want to end animal captivity and their goal is to close down the theme park.

A crowd that Niagara Region Police estimated at about 800 gathered outside the park property and a group of about 150 rushed the front gates near the show area.

“People did enter into the park, it wasn’t part of the demonstration schedule obviously,” said Powell.

Protesters and police confirmed that those who entered the park managed to shut down a dolphin show.

Const. Derek Watson, a Niagara police spokesman, said more than 20 police officers were called in to disperse the protesters, who quickly retreated.

“Once more officers were there, just through our police presence, it sort of dispersed the crowd and pushed them back towards the roadway,” Watson said.

“For the most part the protesters were very cooperative.”

There were no arrests, though Powell said one trespass ticket was issued.

Marineland, which closed for the season this weekend, was not immediately available for comment.

The theme park was the subject of allegations from former employees and Zoocheck Canada who claimed animals at the tourist attraction aren’t properly cared for and their health is at risk.

Zoocheck and other opponents delivered a petition with 77,000 signatures to the Ontario legislature, demanding that parks like Marineland be better regulated.

The Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums launched an investigation in response to the allegations and found no major issues at the park.

Marineland issued a statement last week saying it “very difficult and personally upsetting” for many Marineland staff to see these issues raised through the media and that they only want to provide a safe and healthy environment for the animals in their care.

law-enforcement authorities, Bruce said.

“Pretty small amount, actually. If you think about it, we have 25,000 service providers. We actually have five cases of fraud on the go since 2006,” she said.

“Now that’s not to say that there’s not administrative anomalies, misunderstanding or whatever that we don’t go back and negotiate or deal with.

But in terms of where it’s processed into the system and gone into the fraud kind of approach with our friends in the law enforcement and through that part of the system, it’s only five.”

That’s not counting cases where the federal government has gone to court to recoup money from service providers — sometimes, millions of dollars.

Ottawa is suing a Manitoba pharmacist and his former drug store for $3.1 million over allegations they fleeced the aboriginal health-benefits plan.

Another Nova Scotia pharmacist and his numbered company face a $1.36-million lawsuit over allegedly “fraudulent” claims.

And the federal government is trying to recover $355,520 from the former owners of a Saskatchewan pharmacy.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

Bruce said Health Canada takes allegations of wrongdoing seriously.

macies were asked to repay thousands of dollars for improper billings.

An Express Scripts Canada audit alleges one Yukon pharmacy billed for items not covered by the NIHB program and split prescriptions to charge additional dispensing fees. The drug store was asked to pay back more than $25,000.

Another audit alleges a New Brunswick pharmacy billed the NIHB program for doses of methadone it never actually dispensed to patients.

Express Scripts Canada declined an interview request.

“As a service provider to Health Canada, Express Scripts Canada does not feel it would be appropriate for us to provide comment on services that we provide to our client,” company spokesman Paul Stulberg said in an email.

However, the government official in charge of the NIHB program offered some insight into the audits.

“It could be a large variety of things,” Sandra Bruce, the program’s director-general, said in an interview.

“Maybe the pharmacist pressed the wrong button and when you do your audit checks right, it goes ’hang on, that button doesn’t match.’

“So that’s one aspect of what Express Scripts does for us. On another level, we contract with them so that they will go in and they will do up to 140 audits of providers each year.”

The company also hires an auditor to check its own work, she added.

Romney says U.S. should be more assertive ACCUSES OBAMA OF ‘PASSIVITY’ ON WORLD STAGE

LEXINGTON, Va. — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney assailed Barack Obama’s foreign policy in a speech Monday saying the risk of conflict in the Middle East has grown under the president’s leadership.

With his speech at the Virginia Military Institute, Romney hopes to undo a string of foreign policy stumbles, taking aim at an issue where polls show President Barack Obama holds a clear lead.

Saying there is, “a longing for American leadership in the Middle East,” Romney called for the U.S. to take a more assertive role in Syria. He also wants new conditions on aid to Egypt and would impose tighter sanctions on Iran.

With the race growing tighter after Obama’s poor performance in last week’s presidential debate — the first of three — Democrats and Republicans now are looking to Thursday’s debate confrontation between Vice-President Joe Biden and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.

And all in all both tickets are bearing down on their attempts to draw in the small percentage of voters who remain undecided in fewer than 10 states, with Iowa, Ohio, Virginia and Florida all set for candidate visits this week.

The U.S. president is not elected by the nationwide popular vote, but in a series of state-by-state contests.

Romney’s campaign is working hard to chip away Obama’s advantage among early voters, and there are signs the effort is paying off in North Carolina and Florida, two competitive states that the Republican nominee can ill afford to lose. Obama is doing better in Iowa, another battleground state important to both candidates.

Obama dominated early voting in key states four years ago, giving him a big advantage over Republican John McCain before Election Day even arrived.

In an election-year display of incumbent’s power, Obama on Monday declared a national monument at the home of Latino labour leader Cesar Chavez, the United Farmworkers Union founder who died in 1993. That is designed as an open appeal to Hispanic voters in swing states, before the president moves from Los Angeles to San Francisco for more fundraising.

Romney intended his foreign policy speech as a vehicle to send tough signals on Iran and Syria and portray Obama as weak for his administration’s changing explanation for the deadly attacks on the U.S. consulate in Libya.

The Obama campaign was hit back in advance.

“We’re not going to be lectured by someone who has been an unmitigated disaster on foreign policy,” Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

Voters give Obama higher marks than Romney on

questions of national security and crisis response, but world affairs in general are a distant priority compared with the struggling U.S. economy, polling shows. Nevertheless, Romney’s speech at Virginia Military Institute seeks to broaden his explanation of how he would serve as commander in chief.

After polls recently suggested Obama had narrow leads in several swing states, the Romney campaign says the race is tightening following his strong performance in last week’s debate. To help maintain his momentum, Romney has tweaked his message over the last week, highlighting his compassionate side and centrist political positions.

Obama engaged in a bit of self-deprecation in his Los Angeles fundraising appearance Monday, taking a good-natured shot at his own underwhelming debate performance last week, marveling at how his friends in the entertainment business could turn in flawless showings every time.

“I can’t always say the same,” Obama said of his debate performance, compared to those of his entertainment business friends. He spoke to thousands of supporters who got the joke. It was Obama’s most di-

LOS ANGELES — An undercover FBI agent denied accusations that he spent U.S. taxpayer dollars on prostitutes in the Philippines for himself and others during an international weapons trafficking probe last year, according to court documents filed Monday.

The agent, whose name wasn’t made public, said he didn’t pay for sex while posing as an arms broker for Mexican drug cartels at two nightclubs.

“At no time did I pay to have sex with any employee” of the two clubs, according to the declaration filed by federal prosecutors.

“I was never told by any manager that the bill included prostitution, nor did I ever see prostitution, in any term, listed on any bill.”

The allegations were made last month by a defence attorney for Sergio Santiago Syjuco, who along with two other Philippine nationals have been indicted for conspiracy in the weapons case and could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

Deputy Federal Public Defender John Littrell said the indictment against the three defendants should be dismissed because of outrageous government misconduct.

Court documents filed

by Littrell contend the FBI agent paid bills up to $2,400 each time he went to the clubs with Syjuco and others to reward them for their work to secure weapons to ship to the U.S. without a license.

Federal prosecutors have acknowledged the agent sought nearly $15,000 in reimbursements for “entertainment” and other expenses.

rect acknowledgment that Romney won their debate as the campaign entered its final month.

Obama appeared on stage after comments by actor George Clooney and performances by Katy Perry, Stevie Wonder, Jon Bon Jovi — and before a nightcapping dinner for 150 guests at Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant at $25,000 per person.

Also Monday, Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan said a Romney administration would approve a pipeline that would run from Canada to U.S. refineries in Texas on their first day in office.

Even as Romney sought to reap further rewards from his debate performance, a string of good news for the president threatened to steal the former Massachusetts governor’s spotlight.

A jobs report Friday showing unemployment at the lowest levels of Obama’s presidency, down to 7.8 per cent, was quickly followed Saturday by a fundraising report showing Obama and Democrats had raised $181 million in September. It was their best fundraising month of the campaign, but fell short of their record $190 million raised in September 2008 as the president campaigned for his first term.

Rebels split weekend games

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

LINDSAY VONN

VONN TO TAKE ON MEN Lindsey Vonn wants to challenge the men’s downhill skiers in a World Cup race next month, though her wish still needs the support of the United States team and Alpine skiing’s governing body. The U.S. ski federation said Monday that it had not had a “formal discussion” about the possibility of its star racer challenging the men Nov. 24 in Lake Louise, Alta.

Vonn, the women’s Olympic downhill champion, has written the International Ski Federation to ask whether she can make the historic start at a venue where she has earned nine of her 26 World Cup downhill victories. The Canadian course stages women’s races, including two downhills, the following weekend.

Rebels 5 Warriors 4 (SO) Wheat Kings 2 Rebels 1 MOOSE JAW — The Red Deer Rebels’ fuel gauge was reading empty as the buzzer sounded to end the overtime period on Sunday evening at Mosaic Place.

Still, the Rebels had just enough petro on board to defeat the Moose Jaw Warriors in a Western Hockey League shootout, prevailing 4-3 before 3,749 spectators.

Matt Bellerive notched the lone goal in the shootout and then watched as the Warriors’ third shooter, Sam Fioretti, rang a shot off the crossbar behind Rebels netminder Patrik Bartosak, who had stopped the first two Moose Jaw attempts.

Bartosak made 44 saves through regulation time and the five-minute extra frame.

“Patty was solid,” said Rebels head coach Jesse Wallin, who praised his entire squad for finding the necessary staying power while playing their fifth game in six nights.

“We had to gut it out,” Wallin added on Monday. “We played really, really well in the first period, we came out and played a real solid period. Then in the second they came out hard and you could kind of see us running out of gas. We were running on fumes by the end of the game. We’d played a lot of hockey but the guys really showed a lot of character by digging in and finding a way to get it done in the end.”

Mathew Dumba and Tyson Ness staked the Rebels to a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes, but the Warriors struck back with secondperiod markers from Fioretti and Andrew Johnson, then moved in front on a goal by Travis Brown at 15:07 of the third stanza.

The Rebels, however, forced overtime with a goal at 19:11 that was originally credited to Cory Millette but was given to Charles Inglis following a video review.

The victory was large, considering the Rebels were coming off a 2-1 loss to the Brandon Wheat Kings 24 hours earlier.

“The guys gave a good effort in Brandon, as well,” said Wallin. “It’s frustrating when you’re playing well and giving yourself a chance, and yet you’re just coming up a bit short. We did that in Regina (in a 3-2 loss on Friday) and again in Brandon, so it was big for us to come into Moose Jaw and get a win.”

Colten Mayor potted the lone Red Deer goal at Brandon’s Westman Place, connecting on a power play at 8:54 of the second period before a crowd of 3,862.

The lead didn’t last long, however, as defenceman Ryan Pulock — celebrating his 18th birthday — replied a mere 49 seconds

later with a blast from the point. Pulock then notched the winner 1:19 into the third period with Inglis serving a charging penalty.

Bartosak made 27 saves, while Corbin Boes blocked 22 shots for the Wheat Kings.

Of Red Deer’s nine games to this point in the season, eight have been decided by one or two goals.

“We have to find a way to get above that line,” said Wallin. “We didn’t play well our first three games but since that time we’ve gotten progressively better. I thought we played a good hockey game at Prince Albert (in a 5-4 shootout loss last Tuesday) and played well in Saskatoon (in a 5-3 win on Wednesday). And I thought that for the most part we played well in both Regina and Brandon.

“But we just have to continue to push forward and find a way to get above that line consistently.”

The Rebels enjoyed a day off on Monday and close out their six-game trip tonight against the Swift Current Broncos.

“We’ve played a lot of hockey, five games in six nights, and yet it was by design,” said Wallin. “We knew we had this trip coming early. It was something we wanted to kind of challenge the group with and see how they responded.

“It showed a lot of character last night to dig in at the final buzzer the way we did. It was a huge win for us and a good character builder. Now we have to focus on getting some rest and then focus on playing a solid game tomorrow night and finishing the trip with a win.”

Saskatchewan Roughriders’ Kory Sheets runs the ball for a touchdown against the Toronto Argonauts during second-half CFL action in Toronto on Monday.

Roughriders run away with win over Argos

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Roughriders 36 Argonauts 10 TORONTO — Corey Chamblin is a hard man to please.

A smothering defensive performance anchored the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ emphatic 36-10 road win over the Toronto Argonauts on Monday, but it still wasn’t enough for the rookie head coach.

“I had a mandate that I wanted at least five sacks and they didn’t reach it so I’m not very pleased with the defence,” a straight-faced Chamblin said afterwards. “I’m not satisfied with the defence.

“The offence did a good job putting points up, the defence has a way to go.

We have to capitalize on all the plays.

The guys always say they want to be the No. 1 defence, they have a ways to go to be the No. 1 defence.”

Saskatchewan certainly played like the CFL’s top defence, holding a Toronto offence minus starter Ricky Ray (knee) and running back Chad Kackert (ribs) to just 13 first downs, 58 yards rushing and 213 net yards.

And while the Riders only registered one sack, they never let Argos quarterback Jarious Jackson get in sync.

“We have high expectations here and if we set a goal and don’t reach it that means we failed,” said Riders linebacker Tyron Brackenridge, who had five tackles and a fumble recovery. “But at the end of the day we have

another week to get better.

“We came out and played fast, we were all on the same page and came out with a little bit of fire. Each game is a purpose and we had that purpose in mind to win. We wanted to eliminate all the big plays and we did that.

We eliminated (Jackson’s) reads, created tight windows and got pressure up front.”

Toronto head coach Scott Milanovich said his team — which had 17 penalties for 126 yards — was thoroughly beaten in every phase of the game.

“It was very disappointing,” he said.

“We lost the turnover battle, we lost the penalty battle and probably lost the battle of the line of scrimmage.

“That’s a tailor-made blueprint for losing the ballgame.”

Kory Sheets and Weston Dressler scored huge third-quarter touchdowns to cement Saskatchewan’s third straight win. Sheets’s season-high 48-yard TD run at 9:29 put Saskatchewan ahead 29-10 and brought “Let’s Go Riders” chants from the Saskatchewan faithful within a Rogers Centre gathering of 25,176.

Sheets, who the Riders found an a free-agent camp this off-season, ran for 113 yards on 19 carries to boost his season total to 1,035 yards.

Darian Durant then added a 78-yard TD strike to Dressler at 11:25, the Saskatchewan slotback’s league-leading 10th touchdown catch this season.

With a deadline looming, Red Deer Rebels general manager Brent Sutter got his homework done a little early on Monday.

Sutter, facing a 3 p.m. Wednesday deadline for reducing the number of the club’s overage players from four to three, sent fifth-year forward and team captain Adam Kambeitz to the Saskatoon Blades in return for 17-year-old forward Christian Stockl and a third-round pick in the 2014 WHL bantam draft.

The move leaves the Rebels with forwards Turner Elson and Charles Inglis and defenceman Brandon Underwood as the squad’s 20-year-olds for the remainder of the season.

“Adam has been with our organization since he was 16-year-olds and has been our team captain since 2011. This is a tough trade to make because of what he’s done for this team,” said Sutter.

“But this is a win-win situation for everyone involved.

“This trade fits the direction I want this team to go in. We added a ‘95-born forward to a group of young players who we think are very good players. We also added more skill to our team today.”

Stockl rang up 68 points — including 36 goals — in 38 games with the midget AAA Winnipeg Wild last season. He scored one goal in five games with the Blades this season.

“He’s a rookie in this league and he has great potential and that’s what excites me about him,” said Sutter.

“And with Adam, it a great situation for him that he can finish his junior career by playing in a Memorial Cup. This was just the right thing to do for all parChristian Stockl ties involved, and it’s supposed to be that way with trades.”

The Blades are the host club for the 2013 Memorial Cup tournament and have struggled out of the gate this fall, winning just two of seven games. Clearly, Blades GM/head coach Lorne Molleken felt he needed another leader in the dressing room.

“I talked to Adam and obviously he took the news hard. But he also understands that we had to get down to three 20-year-olds,” said Sutter, who added that the Blades expressed interest in Kambeitz when the Rebels acquired Underwood two weeks ago.

“This is something that has been going on for a bit and at the end of the day I had to separate myself from the team for a few days to really think it through,” said Sutter.

“This was the right thing to do for everybody, for Adam, for the Blades and first and foremost for our hockey team moving forward.”

Rebels head coach Jesse Wallin said Kambeitz will be missed.

“Adam was pretty emotional today. He’s a Red Deer Rebel through and through,” said Wallin. “He’s been a big part of our team and a big part of our dressing room. He’s pretty attached.

“But he sees the opportunity in this move, he sees that it’s the right thing to do. Adam is a heart and soul player who will certainly help (the Blades).”

Kambeitz stayed with the Rebels on Sunday night at Swift Current. A member of the Blades organization will drive him to Saskatoon today.

As Sutter noted, the third-round bantam draft pick coming over to the Rebels in the deal replaces the third-round selection in 2014 that he recently sent to Vancouver in return for forward Matt Bellerive. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Lions take down Stampeders THE CANADIAN PRESS B.C. 27 Calgary 22 VANCOUVER — A strong second half wasn’t enough to propel the Calgary Stampeders to the top of the CFL’s West Division standings.

The Stamps scored 16 points after halftime against the B.C. Lions on Saturday night, but it wasn’t enough as Calgary suffered a 27-22 loss.

A win would have tied Calgary with the Lions for the division lead.

Despite the fact that B.C. was without its two star receivers in Geroy Simon and Arland Bruce III, Calgary’s defence was unable to contain

the Lions quarterback Travis Lulay and his deep receiving core.

Calgary linebacker Juwan Simpson was unhappy with the way his team started the game.

“If we played the first half like we did the second half, I think we’d come out with a win,” said Simpson.

Stampeders quarterback Kevin Glenn threw for 141 yards and one touchdown in the second half after putting up 101 yards and no touchdowns in the first half. He also threw two interceptions on the night. Lulay, meanwhile, put up 268 passing yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Foster racks up yards in Texans’ win over Jets

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Texans 23 Jets 17 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Houston Texans are still undefeated — but very nearly let this one slip away.

Arian Foster ran for 152 yards and a touchdown, and the Texans stayed unbeaten by defeating the New York Jets for the first time in team history, hanging on for a 23-17 victory Monday night.

With a chance to lead the Jets on a winning drive, Mark Sanchez was intercepted by Kareem Jackson on a pass that tipped off the hands of Jeff Cumberland with 1:51 remaining and the Texans (5-0) joined the Atlanta Falcons as the NFL’s only teams without a loss.

The Jets (2-3) were heavy underdogs after coming off a 34-0 loss to San Francisco last week, but made a game of it.

Backup quarterback Tim Tebow got the crowd fired up at times throughout the game, including running for a first down on a fake punt, but had little impact otherwise.

Houston also overcame a 100-yard kickoff return by Joe McKnight that cut the Jets’ deficit to 20-14.

Matt Schaub was 14 of 28 for 209 yards and a touchdown to Owen Daniels, winning his ninth straight game — the longest active streak in the NFL — dating to last season. Daniels fin-

ished with four catches for 79 yards for the Texans, who have just their second five-game winning streak in team history.

Nick Folk’s 21-yard field goal with 11:55 left made it 23-17, but the Jets appeared as though they would get more.

Sanchez hit Cumberland for 24 yards on first down, and then Jeremy Kerley for 36 yards two plays later.

Then, Tebow came in and took the direct snap — with Sanchez lined up as a wide receiver — and rumbled up the middle for 13 yards to make it first-andgoal from the 3. The crowd at MetLife Stadium went wild, sensing a chance at Tebow’s first touchdown since being acquired by New York in March.

Tebow stayed in but was stopped for no gain. Then, Sanchez — who has been under fire with many calling for Tebow to take his starting job — had a pass tipped by J.J. Watt and iit was incomplete to Chaz Schilens in the end zone on third down. Perhaps the only bad news for the Texans happened when star linebacker Brian Cushing left in the second quarter with a left knee injury and didn’t return.

Foster walked untouched into the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown to give the Texans a 14-7 lead with 11:11 left in the first half. He gained 42 yards on three straight carries on the 67-yard drive, and had 100 yards on the ground at halftime on just nine carries.

Orioles hang on for close win over Yankees, ties series Orioles 3 Yankees 2 BALTIMORE — Sometimes, post-season experience isn’t all that important.

How else to explain the Baltimore Orioles beating the playoff-tested New York Yankees, and rookie Wei-Yin Chen outpitching 40-year-old Andy Pettitte?

With Chen leading the way, the Orioles squeezed out a 3-2 victory Monday night to even their AL division series at one game apiece.

Chris Davis drove in two runs for the wild-card Orioles, who used the same formula

that got them into the postseason for the first time in 15 years: a magnificent bullpen and an ability to win tight games. Baltimore was 29-9 in one-run decisions during the regular season and 74-0 when leading after seven innings.

Major league saves leader Jim Johnson, roughed up for five runs in a Game 1 loss, came back to pitch a perfect ninth to close it out.

The rest of the best-of-five series is at Yankee Stadium, beginning with Game 3 on Wednesday. Hiroki Kuroda will start for AL East champion New York against rookie Miguel Gonzalez.

“It means everything,” Da-

vis said of the win. “You definitely don’t want to go into New York in a five-game series down two games. This is big — having the day off tomorrow, hopefully building some momentum, and we can take that into New York.”

Chen gave up two runs, one earned, and eight hits over 6 1-3 innings. The Taiwan native, who pitched previously in Japan, was 1-2 with a 5.25 ERA in four outings against New York this season, including two in September in which he yielded a total of 11 runs over 11 1-3 innings.

“I thought he pitched inside pretty effectively tonight to some of our right-handed

hitters,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “It seemed like Baltimore and us have kind of gone back and forth all year and that’s what we did here.”

FORMER PLAYERS TAKE PART IN CHALLENGE CUP VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT AND REMEMBER TIME PLAYING AT COLLEGE

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF During his time with the Canadian national volleyball team and playing professionally in Europe, Brock Davidiuk has seen his share of gyms.

But there will always be something special about the RDC main gym.

“I love it back here, it’s like it’s a magical gym,” said Davidiuk after helping the RDC Alumni A down the RDC Kings 25-23, 29-27, 25-23 in the final of the Ramada Inns Challenge Cup volleyball tournament at RDC Saturday.

“When I was 17 and deciding where I’d go after high school I played a very good match here and that was part of the turning point for me to come to RDC. It had good energy. I know when I take the exit to come into the city I feel it’s my second home,” said the 29-year-old native of

Edmonton.

Davidiuk and Nicholas Cundy arrived at RDC at the beginning of the 2001-02 season. Two years later they were part of the best college volleyball team of all time. The 2002-03 team, which also included Dallas Soonias and Kings head coach Aaron Schulha, were undefeated against college competition.

They beat every university team in the country, except the No. 1 ranked University of Alberta Golden Bears, who they lost to 3-2 in a early season exhibition match. They also split two matches at BYU. BYU went on to finish No. 2 in the NCAA. The only college team to beat Davidiuk and Cundy in their two years at RDC was to the SAIT Trojans.

“It was our first match at RDC in our first season,” said Davidiuk. “I think that loss put a chip on all our shoulders and set the tempo for the rest of the time we were here. I remember when Rob Ellis was blocked their setter said ‘welcome to college’ and that gave us all a mean streak which didn’t leave until we were finished in 2003.

It didn’t matter who we played we had that and it worked out well.”

Davidiuk played 12 years in one national program or another, spending most of the last seven with the senior national program, either with the A or B team.

He also played pro after finishing at the University of Alberta.

This is the first season he won’t be with the national team or playing professionally.

“I’ve committed to volleyball my whole career,” he said.

“Since I was 15 all I ever wanted to do was to play. It’s been the biggest chapter of my life and it’s time to take a breath.”

He plans on doing some travelling and may look at coaching.

“But I may see what else there’s outside of volleyball,” he said. “For me that may be tough, but there are other things.”

He could return to play pro, but isn’t sure that’s what’s on his agenda.

“It was a good life experience, but it’s not the same as playing in Canada,” he said.

“You look at the guys here to-

day. No one is greedy or selfish.

We play as a team. Overseas it’s more as individuals and that’s not appealing to me. Over there you look out for No. 1 and I don’t thrive on that. It was a different atmosphere, but then I always wanted to play pro and I also enjoyed it.”

Davidiuk is one of the best leaders ever to put on an RDC uniform. That was evident during the weekend, and is something Schulha hopes rubs off on his troops.

“His body is falling a part a bit. He doesn’t jump like he used to, but he thinks the game so well and is someone we can learn from,” said Schulha. “You can also look at Nick (Cundy).

He was the X-factor as he’s not far off the national team. They wanted this more than we did.”

Schulha didn’t have six-footeight right side Chris Osborn for the semifinal or final after he was hit by food poisoning.

“It would have been good to have him, but it was good for Braden O’Toole to get all the extra playing time,” said Schulha. “We wanted to win, but this weekend was a great learning experience for us.”

The Kings led all three sets in the final, but couldn’t put it away.

“I think we’re playing at a good level, but we still need to work on a few technical things and eliminate a few errors,” said Schulha. “As well we have to learn to start putting teams away when we have the chance.

We have to do better at sustaining leads and building on them.”

The Kings reached the final with a 25-21, 25-27, 27-25, 25-23 win over the Alumni B team in the quarter-final and a 15-25, 25-15, 25-17, 25-22 win over the Central Alberta Christian High School Alumni in the semifinals.

The Alumni A team beat the University of Alberta, Augustana 25-16, 25-22, 25-22 in the quarter-finals and the University of Calgary Alumni 25-23, 2519, 25-19 in the semifinals.

The other quarter-finals saw CACHS downed Olds College 20-25, 256-19, 25-20,. 25-12 and the U of C stop Lakeland College 25-23, 19-25, 25-16, 25-14.

In consolation play Augustana downed Lakeland 21-25, 2515, 24-26, 25-19, 15-13.

The Kings meet the Briercrest Bible College Clippers in exhibition play Thursday in Three Hills and then are off until they open the ACAC season, Oct. 26 at Grant MacEwan. They host MacEwan Oct. 27. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

How Kärcher’s proprietary heating technology achieves fuel savings of 25%...and more!

1 Extra-Efficient Heating Chamber: Kärcher’s efficient burner shoots the flame downward onto a firebrick floor, which deflects the heat back up into the chamber for double-pass heating.

The brick both retains the heat as well as deflects it evenly back up, around and through the coil tubing for added heat transfer efficiency.

2 Double-Pass Coil: Kärcher Classic pressure washers have a double-pass heating coil - a coil within a coil - that forces the water to flow twice through the heating chamber for double exposure to the flame and heat, so the heat goes into the water and not out the exhaust vent, as with other designs.

3

Pre-Heated Air As Insulation: Kärcher uses outside air as an insulation blanket. Air is drawn into the heating chamber passing through an outer wall, thus creating a thermal insulation barrier while, at the same time, pre-heating the air for better fuel efficiency.

Drew Willy had Saskatchewan’s other touchdown. Sandro DeAngelis booted three converts and five field goals.

Gerald Riggs Jr., subbing for the injured Kackert, scored Toronto’s touchdown. Swayze Waters kicked a convert and field goal.

The Argos managed just 19 net yards offensively in the first quarter, yet Riggs’ five-yard TD catch at 4:39 of the second pulled them to within 13-10. But Saskatchewan outscored them 23-0 from that point on.

One way to identify a fuel efficient hot water pressure washer is to measure the heat coming out of the exhaust vent. An efficient burner system will transfer the majority of the heat into the coil and water, not out the exhaust vent. Simply measure the air temperature at the mouth of the exhaust vent to determine the difference.

For instance, our tests showed the average exhaust temperature for the standard models was 732°F (388°C) vs. 389°F (198°C) for the Kärcher Classic.

RIDERS: Best in the league

Sept. 29. Jackson finished 16-of-31 passing for 162 yards with a TD and interception before giving way to rookie Trevor Harris in the fourth.

The absence of Ray and Kackert definitely showed as the offence failed to muster any consistency, forcing Toronto’s defence to spend almost 35 minutes on the field. It marked the third time this year the Argos have scored 10 points or less in a game.

“Right from the beginning they kept us pinned in our own end all game long,” Jackson said.

“They executed on details better than we did.

They kicked our butts.”

Despite that, Toronto remains in contention for top spot in the East Division. On Sunday, Toronto hosts Montreal (86) — which lost 27-22 to Winnipeg on Monday — in a crucial contest for both teams.

Not only will the winner assume first place but also win the season series 2-1, which is important because in the event of a tie, the first tie-breaker is head-tohead record.

Cardinals rout Nats to even series

Washington Nationals’ Bryce Harper is tagged out at third by St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Pete Kozma during the seventh inning in Game 2 of the National League division series, Monday, in St. Louis. the third inning and didn’t seem to be as big of an issue in Game 2, which started 1 ½ hours later than the opener. Both teams had issues with the playing conditions after the opener.

Late last season, after complaints from Albert Pujols and Lance Berkman, the Cardinals said they’d try not to schedule late afternoon games that might be affected.

Nationals rookie Bryce Harper went 1 for 5 and struck out four times. He also was thrown out at third base on an ill-advised attempt to advance. He is 1 for 10 in the series with six strikeouts.

Zimmermann lasted a season-low three innings while pitching on eight days’ rest. His next-shortest outing also was against the Cardinals, when he was gave up a four-run, first-inning cushion and was chased after yielding eight runs in 3 2-3 innings in a 10-9 loss at home.

The numbers weren’t favourable for the 25-yearold right-hander prior to first pitch, given he’s 0-2 with a 9.45 ERA in five career regular-season starts against the Cardinals.

They were 3 for 5 with runners in scoring position against a pitcher who led the majors by holding opponents to a .160 average.

Nationals batters made contact on just four of Garcia’s 24 pitches in the first, threatening with a pair of walks. Garcia went to a full count on five of his first eight hitters, and threw 51 pitches in two innings while surrendering Zimmermann’s RBI single in the second.

Matheny said Garcia was pulled because of an arm issue. The left-hander missed more than two

Cardinals 12 Nationals 4 ST. LOUIS — Never count out the Cardinals in October — especially after they lose a series opener.

Carlos Beltran hit the last two of the Cardinals’ four homers and St. Louis chased an ineffective Jordan Zimmermann early in a 12-4 rout of the Washington Nationals on Monday that tied their NL division series at one game apiece.

“We know this offence has the potential to do this,” Cardinals rookie manager Mike Matheny said.

“It was nice to see this, and hopefully it becomes contagious and the guys just keep going.”

Allen Craig and Daniel Descalso also went deep to help the defending World Series champions build a big lead that compensated for a two-inning start from an ailing Jaime Garcia. Craig hit his fifth career post-season homer and scored three times.

Ryan Zimmerman and Adam LaRoche hit consecutive homers in the fifth for the Nationals, who head home for the remainder of the best-of-five series. But the NL East champions are without All-Star ace Stephen Strasburg, shut down for the rest of the season early last month to protect his surgically repaired arm.

Game 3 is Wednesday afternoon at Nationals Park, the first post-season contest in the nation’s capital since the original Senators played the New York Giants in the 1933 World Series. Edwin Jackson starts for Washington against longtime Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter, who made only three starts during the regular season because of injury.

“Today, for us, was a must-win game,” Beltran said.

The Cardinals seem to live for those. They lost the division series and NLCS openers last fall, then finished strong in the World Series after spotting Texas a 3-2 lead.

So, they’re on familiar ground. And once again, as a wild card.

“We knew how big this game was for us,” centre fielder Jon Jay said. “We’ve seen it all year — when we are able to do that, we are pretty dangerous.”

There were no lineup changes in Game 2 of the division series, just a lot more clutch hitting from players accustomed to October pressure.

Beltran homered twice in the post-season for the third time in his career, connecting in the sixth off Mike Gonzalez and eighth off Sean Burnett. Jay had two hits and three RBIs, plus an outstanding catch at the centre-field wall to deprive Danny Espinosa of extra bases in the sixth.

“One of the best catches I’ve seen. I think it’s his best catch of the year,” Matheny said. “He barely looked up as he was hitting the wall. Very impressive.”

St. Louis was 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position during Game 1 and totalled just three hits, but the Cardinals had five hits in a four-run second Monday. Descalso hit his first post-season homer in the fourth, a day after getting robbed by Jayson Werth’s leaping catch at the right-field wall, and Beltran’s drive off Gonzalez in the sixth banged off the facade in the third deck in left, estimated at 444 feet.

“Their numbers speak for themselves,” Nationals manager Davey Johnson said of the Cardinals. “They have got a fine hitting ballclub, and good pitching will slow down good hitting, but you’ve got to make pitches, and we didn’t do that tonight.”

Elliott leads Bombers to win over Als

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Bombers 27 Alouettes 22 MONTREAL — ”Don’t worry, be happy” was coach Tim Burke’s message to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this week and the result was the biggest victory of the CFL season for his struggling team.

Third-string quarterback Joey Elliott threw touchdown passes to Terrence Edwards, Chris Matthews and Rory Kohlert as the Bombers downed the East Division-leading Montreal Alouettes 27-22 Monday for their first road win in seven attempts this season.

Winnipeg (4-10), which has won twice in its last three games, saw Elliott amass 335 passing yards on 17 completions in relief of injured starter Buck Pierce. Justin Palardy added a pair of field goals. ”I think the guys played without having a lot of tension in them — they just went out and played,” said Burke. ”Montreal’s one of the best teams in the league and to beat them at home, that tells you that you can beat anybody. ”So we just need to play like that all the time. Just be relaxed and go out and have fun and not press.

We’ve been pressing too hard.”

The Bombers will probably need to run the table in their last four regular season games, starting Saturday at home against Calgary, to have any chance to reach the playoffs.

They trail third-place Hamilton by two points in the East but must also catch Edmonton, the West’s fourth place side who are four points ahead, to prevent a cross-over playoff entry.

The NHL and NHL Players’ Association likely won’t discuss economics when collective bargaining talks resume this week.

The sides have agreed to sit down together in New York on Wednesday and Thursday, but deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Monday that he expects the conversation to cover secondary issues, including “health and safety, medical care, drug testing, rent and mortgage reimbursements (and) grievances.”

Talks have been limited to ancillary topics since the lockout was enacted, including during two separate sessions last week.

Daly indicated that he’d like to see economics and system issues — essentially how the sides split up league revenue — put back on the bargaining table soon.

The lockout entered its fourth week with the sides still entrenched in their positions on that fundamental issue. The players have insisted they continue to earn the US$1.871 billion they took home collectively last season while the owners are looking for an immediate reduction in salaries.

The ongoing work stoppage has already forced the NHL to cancel the first two weeks of the regular season, a move that wiped 82 games off the schedule and pushed opening night back to Oct. 25. It’s the third time in 18 years a lockout has forced the cancellation of NHL games, and Daly took a concillatory tone

two plays — strikes of 42 and 36 yards to a wide-open Matthews. ”They do a lot of blitzing and leave three-D coverage behind it and that does leave some holes,” Burke, a former Alouettes defensive co-ordinator, said of the Montreal defence. ”I thought (offensive co-ordinator) Gary (Crowton) had a really good plan against them, with some of the same things Hamilton did against them. And Joey was really good with the ball.”

Montreal threatened again late in the half, but a pass went through London’s hands and Johnny Sears intercepted in the end zone.

Kohlert caught a 15-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter that was answered by London’s 13-yard TD grab, but a final Montreal drive ended with a Brandon Stewart interception.

Now the Bombers must decide whether to dress Elliott again against the Stampeders. A decision was made late in the week to keep Pierce at home. Elliott showed he can do the job. ”I hope so,” he said. ”You never know. All our quarterbacks are ready to go whenever their number’s called. That’s how it’s been all season and we’re going to keep it the same way. ”It’s a huge win for our team. Offensively, to come into this house and play a tough team and put some points up. To show our defence that we can play and make plays down the stretch. And we were able to run the ball in the second half, which secured the win for us.”

Calvillo said the ball was slick in the cool autumn weather but that wasn’t an excuse for the turnovers or a second sub-par performance in as many weeks.

McPherson scored TDs and Sean Whyte had three field goals for Montreal (8-6), which fumbled the ball away three times and saw quarterback Anthony Calvillo picked off twice.

Montreal, which recovered two more of its own fumbles, dropped a second game in a row after a 41-28 blowout loss in Hamilton. They will battle the Argonauts for first place in the division in Toronto on Sunday.

Alouettes coach Marc Trestman called it ”unacceptable at all levels from our football team. ”Everything trickles down from the preciousness of the football. When you don’t take care of the ball bad things can happen. We turned the ball over five times, twice in the red zone. When you look at the stats, we had 400 yards of offence (424) and 24 first downs. Our quarterback threw for over 300 yards (336). Turnovers were the difference in not moving the ball more and winning the game.”

Tied 3-3 late in the first quarter, the Bombers’ Demond Washington fumbled a punt and Chris Jennings recovered on the Winnipeg 40. But three plays later, Patrick Lavoie fumbled it back and Winnipeg’s Jonathan Hefney grabbed it at the three.

When the Bombers punted, Trent Guy fumbled.

His teammate Michael Carter recovered but he also lost the ball and Will Ford recovered.

On the next play, Elliott found Edwards behind the Montreal defence for a 50-yard touchdown.

After the kickoff, Calvillo dropped a snap but was able to pick it up. It was the fifth fumble in a 10-play stretch near the end of the first quarter.

Montreal completed the drive with McPherson’s one-yard TD plunge, but Winnipeg got it back in only

RED DEER SUBSCRIBES TO WW.CARPOOL.CA, A SERVICE THAT MATCHES COMMUTERS WITH RIDES

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF One car, one commuter.

That’s a ratio the City of Red Deer would like to see change.

To encourage car pooling, the city has subscribed to ww.carpool.ca, a service that matches commuters with rides and is open to residents in Red Deer and area, including Blackfalds, Lacombe, Sylvan Lake, Penhold and Innisfail.

The city put $5,250 towards the $7,000 annual subscription cost and Alberta Health Services is covering the rest.

Micky Szeto, a traffic engineer with the City of Red Deer, said the initiative fits in with an environmental master plan approved last year.

Car pooling has many benefits beyond taking vehicles off the road and cutting pollution.

Drivers can cut their commuting costs up to 10 per cent by just car pooling once a week, said Szeto.

The Canadian Automobile Association estimates the cost of driving and owning a car at up to $9,000 a year, or nearly $25 a day.

Being a car pool passenger is also good for your health. Studies have shown that by sharing the daily job of fighting traffic car poolers have less stress, higher morale and lower blood pressure.

Szeto said companies taking advantage of the car pool service will be approached for a funding contribution as the project gets established.

There are other ways to help out as well.

For instance, Red Deer Col-

City of Red Deer traffic engineer Micky Szeto would like to see more car pooling happening on the streets of Red Deer. lege has designated 24 choice parking spots for car poolers, an approach that other employers can consider.

Szeto said he has car pooled in Ottawa and Edmonton and enjoyed it, although work commitments in Red Deer prevent him from sharing his ride.

“Getting started is the most important thing. Once you’re started, its second nature.

“The key thing is set up with

a group that live in the same area. And you have to talk about cost sharing.”

A common misconception is that car pooling means getting locked into a daily joint commute.

Szeto said some might find only two or three days a week works best.

The city hopes 100 commuters sign up and are matched in the first year. So far, 32 people

have already registered.

Another initiative the city is looking at is called the walking school bus.

The project encourages youngsters to walk together, each child joining the group as it passes their home on a set route each morning.

Therapist’s helping hands to teach in Vietnam WILL TEACH TECHNIQUES AT ORPHANAGES

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF An Olds massage therapist is taking her healing hands to orphanages in Vietnam next month.

Joanne Allen, 37, was one of 20 therapeutic massage practitioners chosen from 1,000 applicants across Canada and the U.S. for the volunteer effort to teach orphanage workers how to use massage techniques to comfort children.

Allen has already reached her $4,300 fundraising target for the Liddle Kidz Foundation, which is organizing the 18-day trip that will take Allen to seven orphanages across the country.

Her involvement in the project came by chance as she was looking up massage therapy courses and saw the listing for the Liddle Kidz outreach program.

“I have a bit of a travel bug in me so I signed up for their newsletters and I got sent an email that they were looking for volunteers,” said Allen, who works at Lentz Chiropractic in Olds.

After a phone interview with Liddle Kidz founder Tina Allen, she was thrilled to find she was chosen, the only one from Alberta who will be going. Allen said her previous experience teaching pre-school worked in her favour.

Allen said what she really likes about the program is that Liddle Kidz has created a curriculum and designed booklets translated into Vietnamese that will be left with the staff.

“So we’ll actually be teaching the staff different things they can do with the children and keep on doing with the children.

So it’s more sustainable that way.”

The mission of the foundation is to pro-

Sonya Chipaway, 12, and Shaina Evans, 13, were reported missing and last seen running from the Dawe Centre. The two live at the Equinox Connection Home in Sylvan Lake.

Chipaway is described as five-foot-three (1.6 metres) tall, 95 pounds (42 kilograms) with brown hair, brown eyes, and a

But lots of times they are lacking in just basic human contact.

“One of the main goals is to spread the word that nurturing touch is something that these children need in order to thrive as well.”

The massage therapists will be working with children who have been orphaned or

abandoned and many have missing limbs or other injuries from land mines or have congenital disabilities.

Allen expects the trip will be an emotional experience.

“I expect there to be a lot of tears,” she said. “It’s probably going to be fairly overwhelming, but it’s also going to be great at the same time.”

Those who would like to donate to the foundation can go to www.liddlekidz.com pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Anyone with information is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575.

Hunt continues for bank robbery suspect Police are still searching for the suspect in a bank robbery on Thursday night.

RCMP said a man walked into the Servus Credit Union at 6757 50th Ave. about 7:30 p.m. and demanded cash. No weapon was seen and no one at the bank was injured.

The man fled east into the

nearby Pines subdivision.

The man is described as being about six-feet (1.83 metres) tall, weighing about 220 pounds (100 kilograms), with a heavy build. He was last seen wearing a black track suit with an orange and white horizontal stripe across the chest. He was wearing gloves and his face was obscured by a hood, hat and sunglasses.

KAECHELE (Graham) Ethel Louise Jan. 24, 1924 - Oct. 4, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother.

Ethel was an accomplished pianist, taught piano and elementary school for many years. She loved to travel, visiting Israel, the British Isles and taking several cruises in the Caribbean and Alaska. Her favorite past time was jigsaw puzzles. Throughout their sixty-four plus years of marriage, Evan was her constant companion and loving support.

Ethel is survived by her family: husband Evan; children Ron and (Bonny) Kaechele, (Fred) and Marilyn Blenker, Cheryl and (Tim) Sturdevant, Dennis and (Necia) Kaechele; grandchildren Kevin and (Rachel) Kaechele, Kenneth Kaechele, Laura and (Chris) Lattey, Dane Kaechele, Lonny and (Nicki) Kaechele, Jamie Blenker, Shawn and (Candice) Blenker, Jason and (Jamie) Sturdevant and Elizabeth (Zeke) Wampler. Also loving remembered by Amalia (Mike) Zarokostas, Landon (Sarah) Haberstock, Rachel (Curt) Harding and thirteen great grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her parents Edward and Ida Graham. The family would like to thank the caregivers of Mountain View Seniors Housing, the dedicated staff of Olds Hospital, the ICU unit of Red Deer Hospital and all others who have known and assisted Ethel over the years. Funeral services will be held on Thursday October 11, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. at the Church of the Nazarene, Olds with Reverend Larry Dahl and Reverend Darlene Hyatt officiating. Interment to follow at the Olds Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made directly to the Church of Nazarene World Missions.

Syria’s cross-border shots sends a message SHOWS CRISIS IS TOO EXPLOSIVE AND TURKEY, WEST SHOULD KEEP AWAY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — Syria’s cross-border attacks on Turkey in the past week look increasingly like they could be an intentional escalation meant to send a clear message to Ankara and beyond, that the crisis is simply too explosive to risk foreign military intervention.

With Turkey eager to defuse the crisis, the spillover of fighting is giving new life to a longshot political solution, with the Turks floating the idea of making President Bashar Assad’s longtime vice-president, Farouk alSharaa, interim leader if the president steps aside.

A military option — which would involve foreign powers that already have expressed a deep reluctance to getting involved in the crisis — is still not on the table, analysts say, despite six consecutive days of Turkish retaliation against bombardment from inside Syria.

“Syria is aware that Turkey cannot go a step further,” said Ali Tekin, assistant professor of International Relations at Ankara’s Bilkent University.

“The Turkish people don’t want a war and there are no vital national interests at stake to warrant a war. Syria sees this.”

The Syrian conflict has taken a prominent role in the U.S. presidential election at a time when the U.S. and its allies have shown little appetite for getting involved.

On Monday, Republican candidate Mitt Romney said the U.S. should work with other countries to arm the Syrian rebels, allowing the rebels to drive Assad from power themselves. Romney did not call for the U.S. to directly arm the Syrian rebels.

The most recent flare-up between Syria and Turkey started Wednesday, when a shell fired from Syria slammed into a house in the Turkish border village of Akcakale, killing two women and three children.

That set off the most serious and prolonged eruption of violence along the frontier since the uprising began nearly 19 months ago.

Although it was not clear whether Wednesday’s shelling was intentional, Turkey responded swiftly by firing back and convening parliament for a vote that authorized further cross-border military operations if necessary.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan cautioned Damascus not to test Turkey’s “limits and determination.”

But the Syrian shelling has continued every day — leading many observers to conclude the acts are intentional provocation.

“It’s not an accident. You can’t send shells across the border by mistake five days in a row,” said Mustafa Alani,

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Turkish military station at the border gate with Syria, across from Syrian rebel-controlled Tel Abyad town, in Akcakale, Turkey, Sunday. a Middle East analyst of the Genevabased Gulf Research Center, just hours before Syrian shelling struck Turkey for a sixth day.

There have been no other reports of casualties from the shelling since Wednesday’s deaths.

An activist group said Monday the number of people killed in the conflict crossed the threshold of 32,000 over the weekend, and the pace is accelerating.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it counted 32,079 dead as of Sunday — among them 22,980 civilians and civiliansturned fighters, 7,884 members of the Syrian military and 1,215 army defectors fighting alongside the rebels.

In the past week alone, more than 1,200 people were killed, according to the head of the Observatory, Rami Abdul-Rahman, who said he only counts named victims or those whose death is verified by other means, such as amateur video.

Also Monday, a suicide attacker detonated a car bomb near a compound of the Syrian intelligence service on the outskirts of Damascus, a Syrian official said.

There was no immediate word on casualties, the official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

The pro-government Al-Ikhbariya channel said the explosion in the Ha-

rasta suburb was followed by armed clashes. Syrian rebels are increasingly targeting security compounds in Damascus, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility for Monday’s blast.

According to Alani, the analyst, escalating the crisis serves as a reminder to NATO, Turkey and the West that Syria’s civil war can inflame the region with lightning speed. The threat of a spillover is likely to pressure Western powers into drafting a political solution, part of which could involve Assad’s exit from power, rather than his being toppled by force.

A political solution, Alani said, could prevent Assad “ending up like Gadhafi.”

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was captured and killed by rebels on the outskirts of his hometown of Sirte last year, and his corpse was put on public display in a refrigerated locker for several days.

While Ankara maintains that the shells are coming from the regular Syrian army, Paul Salem of the Carnegie Middle East Center, a Beirut-based think-tank , did not exclude the possibility of “other sources, a rebel unit, firing across the border, trying to create conditions for Turkey to intervene in Syria.”

As the border skirmishes intensified over the weekend and the world

began to consider whether Turkey would respond more forcefully, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu tried to redirect attention away from the military developments.

On Saturday, Davutoglu said Syrian Vice-President Farouk al-Sharaa was a figure “whose hands are not contaminated in blood” and therefore was a possible figure to head a transitional administration.

Abdulbaset Sieda, the head of the Syrian National Council, the main opposition group in exile, said Monday his group is willing to consider Ankara’s proposal.

Sieda’s comments appear to be a softening of the opposition’s stance that it will accept nothing less than the ouster of the Assad regime and the president’s inner circle. But this apparent change in heart could be a way for the opposition to appease its Turkish allies rather than a major shift toward a political settlement of the conflict.

Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi scoffed at Davutoglu’s proposal, saying it reflects “obvious political and diplomatic confusion and blundering.”

“Turkey isn’t the Ottoman Sultanate; the Turkish Foreign Ministry doesn’t name custodians in Damascus, Mecca, Cairo and Jerusalem,” al-Zoubi said Monday.

Captured cartel suspect blamed for major drug crimes in Mexico MEXICO CITY — The Mexican navy nabbed a suspected Zetas cartel leader accused of involvement in some of the country’s most notorious crimes in recent years, authorities said Monday.

Navy spokesman Jose Luis Vergara announced that Salvador Alfonso Martinez Escobedo was arrested Saturday and is believed to have masterminded the massacre of 72 migrants in the northern state of Tamaulipas in 2010.

The man known as “Squirrel” also has been linked to the escape of 151 prisoners in 2010 from a jail in the city of Nuevo Laredo, the recent flight of 131 prisoners in the city of Piedras Negras and the killing of U.S. citizen David Hartley in 2010 on Falcon Lake, which straddles the U.S.-Mexico border.

The death of Hartley drew wide attention as it appeared Hartley and his wife, Tiffany, were on a personal trip when he was shot by Mexican criminals on Sept. 30, 2010. The Hartleys were using personal watercraft on Falcon Lake when David Hartley was shot in the head.

Asked about the detention, Tiffany Hartley’s mother, Cynthia Young of LaSalle, Colorado, said: “We heard the news this morning. We’re just trying to process the information.”

“What we’re going to try to do is get a hold of some facts and make sure we know what’s happening,” Young said. She said the family could issue a statement once more information is known.

The navy is also blaming Martinez for the killing of the Tamaulipas state police commander and chief investigator on the case, an attack that hampered the investiga-

tion.

Vergara said Martinez was captured in Nuevo Laredo, across from Laredo, Texas. He was shown to the news media Monday.

The navy said Martinez is also a suspect in dozens of killings of people who were buried in mass graves at the same site of the 2010 massacre of migrants.

Nearly 200 bodies were discovered in April 2011 in the town of San Fernando, close to the U.S. border. Those two crimes have been the

most fatalities since Mexico’s federal government launched an armed offensive against drug traffickers in December 2006.

The mass prison escapes that authorities believe the 31-year-old Martinez is behind have been the largest in recent history. The most recent escape of 131 inmates was considered to be orchestrated by the Zetas to replenish its forces in northern Mexico, where is in a war with the powerful Sinaloa Cartel.

Honey extraction a sticky situation Finding balance between family and work I once read only a crazy person would consider extracting honey inside their house. Of course, the author is right. Extracting honey inside your home are the actions of a mad woman. How do I know?

Because I have been extracting honey in my home for the past three summers.

For the small beekeeper with a couple hives in the garden, there aren’t a whole lot of options. I mean, where else SHANNON are you supposed to extract MCKINNON your honey?

You certainly can’t do it outside unless you want 100,000 bees descending on your unfortunate honey-thieving head and garages, barns and sheds are not always the cleanest, nor do they usually have access to things like hot running water. So the house it is.

If you ever want to do an experiment of how many things in your home you touch in a day, all you need is a honey extractor and a stack of supers. At day’s end you will be amazed to find honey on buttons, handles, railing and knobs. On walls, steps, floors and doors. On shoelaces, phones, computers and pets.

I am happy (and so are the pets) to report that

SLICE OF LIFE

things are a lot less sticky as I have become more experienced. The first year I didn’t have a clue what I was doing and spent a large part of my time rushing all over the house doing frantic Google searches, looking for books and hunting down various paraphernalia such as sieves, pans and knives. The honey health inspector would have been less than impressed.

Today the extraction operation runs like a clean well oiled machine...or an adequately greased one anyway. An added bonus is when I’m finished the entire house still carries the lingering scent of honey.

This is in stark contrast to the sauerkraut-making I recently completed. When sauerkraut starts to ferment there is nothing sweet about it. Woo wee! Now there’s a fragrance you won’t find on a perfume shelf.

The instructions on making sauerkraut informed me if my house smelled like a wicked fart things were progressing as they should. Judging by the odour wafting from the crock, we could only conclude I was doing a stellar job.

However, with only two ingredients (salt and cabbage) I would have had to work pretty hard to screw things up.

In hindsight, I am so glad I made the sauerkraut first and extracted honey second. It would have been so unfortunate to have to mask over all that beautiful honey smell with the scent of wicked fart.

environment. You may even want to ask your daughter’s teacher for recommendations of what kids in the class would be a good fit for a friend.

If you find that these interventions are not making a difference, it is time to seek help from a qualified professional.

Most schools have on-staff counselors who are skilled at handling anxiety-related behavior. Your school or your daughter’s pediatrician may also be able to refer you to an expert in your area.

Question: The other day I heard my junior highaged son and his friend laughing about a classmate who passed out by sniffing an air freshener. I wanted to ask them about it, but I thought they were probably just making up stories. Surely they were joking about this?

Jim: Sadly, this has become an all-too-real phenomenon. Even as illegal drugs continue to plague youth culture, some of the most harmful substances to your kids might be sitting right under your own roof.

“How did it go?”

“Good, I think,” replied Rick’s daughter. “I learned a lot about myself.”

Rick had been waiting MURRAY for his daughter who was in a counselling session. After FUHRER much coaxing and arm twist- EXTREME ESTEEM ing, she had finally decided to go. Rick had been worried about his girl for some time. A single mom, she had survived a physically and emotionally abusive relationship and was now battling depression. On the drive home, she shared with Rick an assessment by the counselor – essentially, that many of her issues stemmed from a sense of abandonment.

Rick nodded as his daughter spoke. He thought of how her boyfriend had left shortly after the birth of their child and how both mother and baby had moved back home for a time. It had been difficult for all and Rick could understand the sense of abandonment. He was surprised and dismayed, however, to discover that he was the apparent source of his daughter’s issue.

Rick’s daughter had been six years old when he moved his family to a new town. He hadn’t consulted his children about the move. He hadn’t felt it necessary. At the same time, Rick had taken on a challenging new job that saw him working away from home during the week and returning late Friday evenings. Though he made a point to spend the weekend with his children, the family dynamic had changed and that change had a profound effect on his young daughter.

In speaking with his daughter and later his other children, Rick discovered that many of his decisions were perceived as having little regard for their emotional wellbeing. He was astonished to discover that his children often felt frightened and powerless with regard to the decisions that affected the family.

The move to a new town meant new friends, a new school and added stress on his wife as the primary caregiver.

As parents, we all try to do our best and we are never going to get it right all the time. Rick was certainly coming from the right place – wanting to provide a better home for his family and give them the best of everything life had to offer – but his choices had long-ranging effects he had not foreseen.

Girl’s anxiety requires communication Question: My daughter is in elementary school and is extremely shy. So shy that it is affecting her schoolwork and friendships. What can we do to bring her out of this shell?

Juli: Unfortunately, many kids struggle with shyness. According to Dr. Jerome Kagan, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, about 10 to 15 percent of kids in elementary school are very shy. For some, their shyness is a manifestation of a reserved personality trait. For others, shyness is a symptom of anxiety. The fact that your daughter’s grades and friendships are being impacted suggests that she is probably in the latter category.

One of the best ways to combat anxiety is to make the world a more predictable place.

You can help your daughter with this by roleplaying everyday situations like what to do when you meet someone new or when someone teases you at school. You can also work with her teacher and other school staff to make social interactions at school more predictable.

School can be an overwhelming experience for a young child. Your daughter may begin to develop more self-confidence in social situations by interacting with smaller groups of children outside the school setting.

Start by inviting over a potential friend for a play date. It is even better if the friend is a classmate so that the relationship carries over into the classroom

“Childhood is over the moment things are no longer astonishing.”

Bombardier machinists begin strike WICHITA, Kan. — Machinists at the Bombardier Learjet plant walked the picket line early Monday, while the Wichita, Kan.-based company said it will continue operations during the strike. Traffic at the only gate open for non-striking employees was backed up for more than three miles Monday morning as picketers briefly stopped cars that were attempting to enter.

Bombardier Learjet received a court order Monday — essentially an agreement between the company and the union — that prohibits picketers from using or threatening force, insulting or intimidating employees or defacing property at the plant. Workers rejected a five-year contract late Saturday night and went on strike Monday — the second in six years.

Both the company and the union say they are willing to negotiate, but no talks have been scheduled yet.

Taiwan exports rise 10 per cent TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan’s exports rose 10 per cent from a year earlier in September to $27 billion, ending a streak of six consecutive monthly declines. Pre-Christmas buying has turned around the slackening demand for the island’s high-tech and other goods. The Finance Ministry said Monday that Southeast Asia has shown its economic strength by buying $5.4 billion worth of Taiwanese goods in the month, up 41 per cent from a year earlier.

Exports to China gained 6 per cent.

Imports totalled $23 billion in the month, up 1.3 per cent.

Europeans become less pessimistic about euro NEW BAILOUT FUND LAUNCHED

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS File photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A sign stands outside Oshawa’s General Motors car assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontarrio. General Motors said Monday, it will hire as many as 1,500 workers to staff a new computer technology center in the Detroit suburb of Warren, Mich.

GM announces computer tech centre near Detroit WILL ADD 1,500 JOBS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — General Motors plans to hire up to 1,500 workers to staff a new computer technology centre outside Detroit.

It is part of a move to bring 90 per cent of information technology inhouse, which GM believes will make the company more nimble and efficient.

The carmaker plans to hire 10,000 people at four new technology centres in the next three to five years. The centres will help get breakthrough ideas into the company’s cars and trucks, GM says.

Last month the company announced it would hire 500 people for a centre in Austin, Texas.

The remaining two sites haven’t been announced.

The hiring reverses a trend toward outsourcing computer jobs at GM. But spokeswoman Julie Huston-Rough said most carmakers strike a balance between doing computer work in the company and hiring outside firms.

The company is recruiting on college campuses and local information

technology job fairs.

It’s looking for people to fill jobs in software development, database management, project management and business analysis.

New Chief Information Officer Randy Mott wants more people in the company working on development and innovation, and integrating the tasks into GM’s day-to-day business, HustonRough said.

The new computer centre in Michigan will be housed on the grounds of GM’s technical centre in Warren, north of Detroit.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder said in a news release that this is the first of three announcements GM will make about jobs in Michigan.

The company plans to add 2,000 positions and invest up to $300 million in the state.

Huston-Rough said she did not know about additional jobs beyond the computer technology centre.

The four new technology centres are separate from a GM plan under way to consolidate 23 global data centres into two. The consolidation aims to cut costs and increase speed and efficiency.

LUXEMBOURG — The European Union’s financial affairs chief is “less pessimistic” about the future of the euro than he was earlier this year — but warned that the region was still a long way to go before the crisis over too much debt is solved.

Olli Rehn, the EU’s financial and monetary affairs commissioner, said the organization’s ability to react to the financial crisis in the 17 countries that use the euro has much improved compared with two years ago when the crisis began.

He also welcomed the official launch Monday of Europe’s new C500 billion ($647.9 billion) permanent bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism.

“We have enough challenges in Europe,” Rehn said as he entered a meeting of finance ministers from the eurozone.

He added that while nobody was in a “ party mood,” he was “less pessimistic for the moment of the future prospects of the eurozone than, for instance, in the spring.”

In recent months, the EU has acquired significant new powers designed to help it resolve the current crisis and prevent new ones. These include the power to closely monitor national budgets and, where needed, demand changes in them. Also in the works is a central banking supervisor.

The new ESM is designed to reassure investors that the EU is better equipped to contain whatever crises erupt in the eurozone.

“Today is a good day for Europe,” said JeanClaude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg who is also chairman of the ESM’s board of governors.

The new fund will eventually have C500 billion at its disposal that it will use to buy up the bonds of countries whose borrowing costs are becoming unmanageable and also lend money to them if that’s not enough.

It will also lend money to countries that need to prop up failing banks, including handling Spain’s bank bailout. It is expected that the fund will eventually be able to lend money directly to banks.

The ESM will eventually replace a temporary bailout fund, known as the EFSF, but the two will overlap for the time being while the EFSF continues to handle the bailouts of Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

Asia art market heats up CHINESE, FOREIGN AUCTIONEERS MOVE INTO EACH OTHER’S TURF

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AE bank debuts in Malaysia, Shanghai KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The National Bank of Abu Dhabi has launched its commercial banking operations in Malaysia and will debut in Shanghai this week as part of its expansion in Asia. Senior General Manager for International banking, Qamhar Ali Al Mulla, says the United Arab Emirates’ top lender was a latecomer in Asia with its first branch launched in Hong Kong just three years ago.

He says the bank has “ambitious plans” in Asia. He says it will launch an office in Shanghai, its first to tap China’s mass market, on Wednesday and is eyeing to acquire a bank in Indonesia. Bank officials said Monday plans are afoot to establish up to 50 branches.

— The Associated Press

HONG KONG — Chinese and international auction houses are encroaching on each other’s territory in Hong Kong and Beijing for the first time as they step up the battle for the Asian art market.

China Guardian Auctions Co., the country’s second biggest auction house, held a small sale of Chinese ink paintings, calligraphy and furniture last weekend in Hong Kong, its first ever outside mainland China. The firm, founded less than two decades ago, went head-to-head with 268-year-old global giant Sotheby’s fall sales in the former British colony.

China’s other big player, Beijing Poly International Auction Co., also plans its first sale in Hong Kong next month. The two firms are little known outside of China, but their forays into Hong Kong, now a semiautonomous Chinese territory, are aimed at changing that.

Sotheby’s, meanwhile, has big plans to expand into mainland China after setting up a joint venture allowing it to be the first foreign company to hold art auctions there, in a big leap over rival Christie’s.

The expansion plans highlight how the

Staff members listen to collectors’ offers on the phone during the autumn sale of China Guardian Auctions Co., in Hong Kong Sunday. Chinese and international auction houses are encroaching on each other’s territory in Hong Kong and Beijing. thriving demand for art from Asia’s growing class of wealthy collectors is leading to intensifying competition in Hong Kong, the region’s auction hub. Many of the collectors flocking to the city for twice-yearly sales by a number of companies are mainland Chinese, but a growing number come from other Asian countries such as Indonesia.

Guardian and Poly have “been watching and seeing what Sotheby’s and Christies have been doing (in Hong Kong), and I personally think they’ve been sat back in the wings saying ’The time is right’,” said Jonathan Macey, senior broker with the Art Futures Group.

“You’ve got a sea of money coming into this business from across Southeast Asia” in addition to Hong Kong and Chinese collectors, he said.

Hong Kong is “a logical place for us to step out and to fulfil our international expansion plan,” said Guardian’s president,

Yannan Wang, who founded the company in 1993 with Chen Dongsheng.

The southern Chinese city is also an attractive place for art auctions because there are no taxes, unlike in mainland China where buyers have to pay up to 23 per cent in taxes and import duties.

Wang said expanding in Hong Kong was also symbolically important because the buyer of the company’s first-ever lot at an auction 19 years ago was a Hong Kong collector.

Guardian’s Hong Kong auction, held Sunday in a ballroom in the Mandarin Oriental hotel, raised $58.6 million, more than double the pre-sale estimate. It drew people such as Wu Jia-lin, who lives in the manufacturing hub of Dongguan in China’s southern Guangdong province and has been collecting art for 10 years.

Canadians not prepared to fund longevity

TALBOT BOGGS

MONEYWISE

Your chances of living to 100 are better than ever.

According to research from United Healthcare in the United States, many boomers today are adopting lifestyles that may allow them to celebrate their 100th birthday. Two of the secrets to that kind of longevity are getting eight hours or more sleep each night and having a regular, balanced diet.

While living a long and fruitful life may be a great blessing, other research for the Canadian Life and

Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) shows that Canadians simply are not preparing financially to pay for long-term care if they need it, which likely they will if they start living to 100.

“Canadians have not adequately prepared for their future long-term care needs,” said Frank Swedlove, president of the CLHIA. “Baby boomers are aging and unless action is taken now, they will fall short in funding their long-term care. Governments and Canadians

have to work together to help close the gap by being more effective in how long-term care is provided.”

Almost three-quarter of Canadians admit they have no financial plan to pay for long-term care if they need it, the CLHIA poll found.

More worrisome than that is that 55 per cent of Canadians believe government health care will cover half or more of the cost of their long-term care needs.

Europe stocks down as debt crisis roils Europe

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — Europe’s stock markets fell Monday ahead of a two-day meeting of its finance ministers while the World Bank cut its growth forecasts for Asia.

Investors were also disappointed by falling commodity prices and a mixed finish on Wall Street on Friday despite a drop in the U.S. unemployment rate. There was also some frustration regarding mainland Chinese shares, which opened to losses after a weeklong holiday.

European stocks fell in early trading. By midmorning in London, Britain’s FTSE 100 was off 0.75 per cent at 5,826.94, Germany’s DAX slid 1.4 per cent to 7.289.14 and France’s CAC 40 lost 1.4 per cent to 3,409.81.

Wall Street looked as though it would open lower with Dow Jones industrial futures down 0.4 per cent to 13,485 with S&P 500 futures down the same amount at 1,449.30.

Investors continue to worry over

protests in Spain and IMF concerns over Greece.

Tens of thousands of people marched in 56 Spanish cities Sunday to protest government budget cuts in a country experiencing its second recession in three years and record high unemployment.

The government has pushed through nine straight months of tough austerity measures that have prompted Spain’s 17 regional governments to slash spending in health care and education.

Officials from the European Commission, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank are currently in Greece assessing the country’s progress in fulfilling the terms for receiving aid.

If their report doesn’t clear the way for the payment of the next C31 billion ($40 billion) tranche of the country’s bailout, Greece could be forced to default on its debts and perhaps leave the euro. Greece has warned that it will run out of money next month if it does not receive its next scheduled loan.

The CLHIA estimates it will cost almost $1.2 trillion to provide longterm care to the baby boom generation as they pass through old age and current government programs and funding will cover only about half of this. The $590 billion shortfall is the equivalent of about 95 per cent of all individual registered savings plans in Canada today.

“Not only does the current long-term care system not have adequate capacity for our future needs, but patient care suffers as care is too often provided in inappropriate settings,” Swedlove said.

The CLHIA survey showed that 77 per cent of Canadians prefer to receive care in their homes.

There have been lots of studies recently which show that Canadians simply are not saving enough for their retirement and run the risk of outliving their money, particularly as life expectancy increases.

Tax free savings accounts (TFSAs) and registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) are simple and effective retirement savings tools, but Canadians in general are not saving enough and need to be better educated about how to live within their means and improve their savings habits.

A recent CIBC poll found that 47 per cent of respondents have set up a TFSA but only half of them have made a contribution to them this year. Although they’ve been around since 2009, numerous studies have shown that Canadians don’t necessarily understand how they work or simply have decided not to open one.

Canadians’ contributions to their RRSPs also are well below the allowable limits. Statistics Canada reports that just fewer than six million Canadians who filed an income tax return contributed to their RRSPs in 2010, down 0.2 per cent from 2009.

While total contributions increased 2.6 per cent to $33.9 billion, those contributions represented only 5.1 per cent of the total contribution room available.

To address the funding shortfall while also enhancing patient care, the CLHIA believes governments can help close the funding gap by being more effective in how long-term care is provided to Canada. Canadians also need more incentives to take responsibility to protect themselves from the possibility of high long-term care costs as they live longer.

“In order to meet the increased demand for resources, including long-term care beds, health care professionals and the public and private sectors must work together to find solutions,” the CLHIA said.

Government retirement benefits primarily are designed as a safety net rather than a source to fund retirement, and Canadians need to be encouraged to take more responsibility for saving for their own retirement.

But the din died down when the highlight of the daylong sale, a landscape series by Qi Bashi, went on the block.

Bidding opened at 10 million Hong Kong dollars ($1.3 million) and rose rapidly until the hammer went down at HK$40 million ($5.2 million), which didn’t include a 15 per cent commission.

In a bold move, the event was held the same day as Sotheby’s auction of contemporary Asian art, traditionally the most prestigious of the company’s multi-day semi-annual sales.

A similar rivalry is in store in late November, when Beijing Poly International Auction Co.’s first Hong Kong auction coincides with Christie’s fall sale.

The Chinese auction houses both have storied backgrounds.

Guardian founder Wang’s father, Zhao Ziyang, was chief of China’s Communist Party until he was purged for refusing to suppress the student-led pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square in 1989 that ended in bloodshed. Co-founder Chen also set up Taikang Life Insurance Co. Beijing Poly International Auction Co. was founded in 2005 by the China Poly Group Corporation, a giant state owned corporation that’s best known for being a major defence contractor and which was owned by the People’s Liberation Army until 1999.

Beijing Poly has a

reputation for being aggressive, with a reputation for setting high estimates to attract more business, art market insiders say.

The expansions by Guardian and Poly come amid signs of cooling.

China is estimated to be the world’s biggest fine art market, accounting for 30 to 41 per cent of global sales, according to various estimates.

But research firm ArtTactic says the market is slowing, with results showing Sotheby’s, Christies, Guardian and Poly raising $1.5 billion in their spring sales, down 32 per cent from the autumn 2011 auctions.

Sales volumes are “significantly down,” said Michael Frahm, who runs a Londonbased art advisory firm and specializes in new Asian art. “I think the overall market is cooling a little bit, and it’s definitely down from last year.”

Chinese collectors’ enthusiasm may also be damped after an investigation earlier this year by mainland authorities into tax evasion on artworks.

Sotheby’s CEO Kevin Ching shrugged off fears of a China slowdown, saying it was just “bumps in the road.”

He said the company’s joint venture, Sotheby’s (Beijing) Auction Co., is planning its first proper auction in China next spring, probably of wine, watches, jewelry and Western art.

Sotheby’s invested $1.2 million for an 80 per cent stake in the venture, which held a symbolic first sale last month of a single sculpture.

“There are fewer artworks here but they’re good quality,” said Wu, who had his eye on a Wu Guanzhong scroll painting of a bamboo grove with a presale estimate of $52,000-$77,400.

The sale room was jammed with hundreds of bidders, including more than 100 that the company brought in from Beijing. At times, the chatter from the crowd standing at the back of the room drowned out the auctioneer, who spoke only Mandarin.

ART: Fewer works, good quality

Dear Annie: I want to share my story of depression — and hope — so that it might help others.

I’m nearly 50 now, but only recently did I recognize the depression that has plagued my life.

I had the symptoms for decades: bursts of anger, loss of appetite, lack of interest in work and activMITCHELL ities, avoiding & SUGAR people, constantly thinking about death.

A few years ago, it hit me hard.

For weeks, I couldn’t leave my bed, and suicidal thoughts filled my mind. I was a “dead man walking.�

My emotions were burned away and I saw no point in living.

Finally, I began seeing a therapist on a weekly basis.

Progress was slow, but each bit of relief was a stepping-stone out of the darkness.

I learned that you have to look after yourself.

Overworking, not eating right, lack of exercise, not enough sunshine and cutting yourself off from social situations all feed depression.

If you can get out of bed and get out the door — if only for a little while — that’s a major thing.

National Depression Screening Day is Thursday, Oct. 11.

I recently found out about it from a friend. I wish I’d known about it years ago and taken a screening.

Readers can go to HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org and find a nearby screening location or take a free, anonymous screening online. They also can find out what to do next.

STORIES FROM D2

I’m alive today because I managed to get help in time, but I lost years of real living before I understood that I had depression.

I strongly urge anyone reading this who even suspects they might have depression to do a screening. Sincerely — Mike Stephens Dear Mike: Thank you for sharing your story. Depression affects millions of Americans from all walks of life and all demographics.

National Depression Screening Day can be enormously helpful for those who are concerned about depression. We hope our readers will check HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org to find out about a screening.

Dear Annie: What do I tip when eating at a buffet where the server takes the drink orders but does nothing else?

What about at a Japanese restaurant where the server takes our orders and serves the meal, but the sushi chef prepares the food?

Our favourite Japanese place has a tip jar at the sushi bar. I feel a tip should be left for both the server and the chef, but I don’t know how to divide it. I was told that the sushi chefs keep their tips and the others are split.

I’d appreciate some guidance. — Liz Dear Liz: At a buffet, etiquette experts recommend a 10 per cent tip (on the pre-tax amount) because the server takes drink orders and clears the table.

If you sit at a sushi bar where the food is served directly to you, tip the chef on the food and the server on your drinks.

If the server brings you the food, tip the server. Tip jars, whether at a sushi bar or a coffee shop, do not obligate you to leave anything. However, if the service (or sushi) was exceptional or complicated, or if you are a regular customer, you may wish to do so.
