SUPERSONIC JUMPER

TO HELP BREAK INSPECTION IMPASSE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The meat processing company at the centre of an E. coli outbreak is recalling 800 workers it laid off only a day earlier, breaking an impasse that kept federal inspectors from completing their review of the operation.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) evaluation of XL Foods ground to a halt this weekend when the firm announced it was temporarily laying off 2,000 workers. Federal inspectors said they had nothing to inspect without the workers handling the beef.

Dancers stepping out for hospice fundraiser

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF A few nimble dancers and their willing but not necessarily able partners are getting ready to shimmy and shake and kick up a little more dough for the Red Deer Hospice Society.

The organization’s 2012 Celebrity Dance-off was such a hit in March, organizers are confident that it will continue to be one of their most popular and lucrative fundraisers. The inaugural event raised $180,000 for the Red Deer Hospice, which needs about $750,000 a year to operate.

The 2013 cast includes a star-studded gallery of local leaders, paired up with professional dance instructors who will prime them up for the next event, set for March 15.

Included in the celebrity cast are two local women who have witnessed the Hospice at work. 2009 Citizen of

the Year Lyn Radford and garden centre owner Gloria Beck both have had family members served at the hospice, which provides as much peace and comfort as possible for people who are nearing the end of life.

URBAN CHICKENS Kristina, who has had her chickens for about two years.

“The feedback here is, they love hearing them clucking.”

The healthy patches of kale and Swiss chard growing beside the henhouse was testament to the effectiveness of hens as garden helpers when the Smith family hosted a crew of the curious on a tour of urban chicken coops in Red Deer on Saturday.

Organized by local members of CLUCK - the Canadian Liberated Urban Chicken Klub — the tour was set up to help dispel myths and answer a few questions for people curious about the potential and the potential for problems with backyard chickens.

There’s a reason the little slide on Evie Smith’s swing set stays so clean.

Evie likes to polish it every day, using a feather duster she calls Dorothy.

Evie is not sure whether Dorothy, a barred rock hen, actually likes going down the slide — but she doesn’t seem to mind.

Evie’s mother, Kristina describes Dorothy as a true friend with benefits.

Besides entertaining Evie, Dorothy and her coop mates provide the family with a steady supply of fresh eggs, eat weeds and bugs in the garden and generate a small but steady supply of highnitrogen fertilizer to help the plants grow. “(The neighbours) all love it.

I haven’t had any complaints,” said

Canadians still serving in Afghanistan DISPENSATION GRANTED FOR TROOPS SERVING WITH ALLIES

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — National Defence successfully pushed the Harper government last year to ease the prohibition on Canadian troops from setting foot in Kandahar and participating in combat operations by establishing an exemption for those serving with allies, internal documents reveal.

It is a decision that violates both the spirit and the letter of the Parliament motion that led to the country’s exit from the Afghan war, the opposition charged.

Less than a half dozen Canadians, most of them with the air force, continue to serve in the volatile region that has been the epicentre of the Taliban insurgency.

The much-heralded end to Canada’s five-year war in southern Afghanistan produced the iron-clad policy that barred soldiers from taking part in combat operations and being anywhere near war-torn Kandahar province after Dec. 31, 2011.

The date was established in the Parliament motion of 2008.

Even though Canada didn’t participate, the previous Liberal government quietly allowed Canadian officers, including the country’s soon-to-be retiring top soldier Gen. Walt Natynczyk, to serve on secondment in the U.S.-led Iraq war.

In contrast, the original Conservative government dictate over Kandahar was much stricter, perhaps as a reflection the politically radioactive nature of the issue.

The Privy Council Office was asked in the spring of 2011 to approve an exemption for soldiers “working in exchange positions with allied nations,” said a recently released briefing note prepared for the head of the army on March 22, 2011.

The note was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. The measure was supported by Defence Minister Peter MacKay. A spokeswoman for National Defence says the dispensation was granted.

Canadian Forces “members serving as fully integrated members of foreign forces in exchange positions are permitted to be in Kandahar province and to serve in combat roles, as their host units direct them,” Lauri Sullivan said in an email.

It took the department several days to answer queries from The Canadian Press about the politically sensitive subject.

Since the exemption was granted, at least four Canadians have served in volatile province, two of them with the Royal Australian Air Force, one with the Royal Air Force and one with the U.S. Army.

NDP defence critic Jack Harris said it shouldn’t be permitted and the fact the soldiers and air crew are on a secondment doesn’t make any difference.

“I believe it’s contrary to the Parliamentary motion,” Harris said. “It is a decision of this country that they’re not going to participate, and their participation in the combat mission in Afghanistan is ended. That means no Canadian troops.”

As the war was winding down and prior to the training mission in Kabul, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was quoted as saying that only a few soldiers would be left in Afghanistan to guard the embassy.

Harris said “people accepted that word at the time” and were let down with the training mission, and now see the exemption.

“This belies whether the prime minister and the government is prepared to stand behind their word,” he said.

The military says officers involved in the exchange program gain valuable field experience and usually it is the host nation that extends the invitation.

Pilot Felix Baumgartner of Austria jumps from the capsule during the final manned flight for Red Bull Stratos in Roswell, N.M., Sunday. Baumgartner came down safely in the eastern New Mexico desert about nine minutes after jumping from his capsule 128,097 feet, or roughly 24 miles, above Earth.

Skydiver lands safely after 24-mile leap to Earth BREAKS SOUND BARRIER IN FREEFALL JUMP The altitude he leapt from also marked the highest-ever for a skydiver — more than three times the height of the average cruising altitude for a jetliner. Organizers said the descent lasted just over nine minutes, about half of it in free fall. Utley said he travelled 119,846 feet (36,529 metres) in free fall.

Three hours earlier, Baumgartner, known as “Fearless Felix,” had taken off in a pressurized capsule carried by a 55-story ultrathin helium balloon.

After an at-times tense ascent, which included concerns about how well his facial shield was working, the 43-year-old former military parachutist completed a final safety check-list with mission control.

As he exited his capsule from high above Earth, he flashed a thumbs-up sign, well aware that the feat was being shown on a live-stream on the Internet with a 20-second delay.

Any contact with the capsule on his exit could have torn his pressurized suit, a rip that could expose him to a lack of oxygen and temperatures as low as minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 57 degrees Celsius). That could have caused lethal bubbles to form in his bodily fluids.

But none of that happened.

He activated his parachute as he neared Earth, gently gliding into the desert east of Roswell and landing without any apparent difficulty. The images triggered another loud cheer from onlookers at mission control, among them his mother, Eva Baumgartner, who was overcome with emotion, crying.

He then was taken by helicopter to meet fellow members of his

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ROSWELL, N.M. — Austrian extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner landed gracefully on Earth Sunday after a 24-mile (38.6-kilometre) jump from the stratosphere in a dramatic, record-breaking feat that officials said made him the first skydiver to fall faster than the speed of sound.

Baumgartner came down in the eastern New Mexico desert about nine minutes after jumping from his capsule 128,100 feet (39,045 metres), or roughly 24 miles (38.6 kilometres), above Earth. He lifted his arms in victory shortly after landing, setting off loud cheers from jubilant onlookers and friends inside the mission’s control centre in Roswell, New Mexico.

“When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data. The only thing you want is to come back alive,” he said after the jump.

Brian Utley, a jump observer from the International Federation of Sports Aviation, said preliminary figures show Baumgartner reached a maximum speed of 833.9 mph (1,342 kph). That amounts to Mach 1.24, which is faster than the speed of sound. No one has ever reached that speed wearing only a high-tech suit.

Baumgartner says that travelling faster than sound is “hard to describe because you don’t feel it.” With no reference points, “you don’t know how fast you travel,” he told reporters.

“Sometimes we have to get really high to see how small we are,” he said.

team, whom he hugged in celebration.

Coincidentally, Baumgartner’s attempted feat also marked the 65th anniversary of U.S. test pilot Chuck Yeager’s successful attempt to become the first man to officially break the sound barrier aboard an airplane.

At Baumgartner’s insistence, some 30 cameras on the capsule, the ground and a helicopter recorded the event Sunday. While it had been pegged as a live broadcast, organizers said was actually under a 20-second delay in case of a tragic accident.

Shortly after launch, screens at mission control showed the capsule as it began rising high above the New Mexico desert, with cheers erupting from organizers. Baumgartner could be seen on video, calmly checking instruments inside the capsule.

Baumgartner’s team included Joe Kittinger, who first attempted to break the sound barrier from 19.5 miles (31.4 kilometres) up in 1960, reaching a speed of 614 mph (988 kph), just under the sound barrier. With Kittinger inside mission control Sunday, the two men could be heard going over technical details during the ascension.

“Our guardian angel will take care of you,” Kittinger radioed to Baumgartner around the 100,000-foot (30,000-meter) mark.

Kittinger noted that, it was getting “really serious” now.

An hour into the flight, Baumgartner had ascended more than 63,000 feet (19,200 metres) and had gone through a trial run of the jump sequence that will send him plummeting toward Earth. Ballast was dropped to speed up the ascent. Kittinger told him, “Everything is in the green. Doing great.”

STORIES FROM PAGE A1 will continue to work diligently to ensure that all safety issues at the Brooks plant are corrected.”

Doug O’Halloran, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union local 401, which represents the employees at the plant, said management has bungled the entire situation.

“Again, it’s just chaos, and I guess it begs the question, is there something further wrong with the XL Plant that they’re not sharing, because why would you lay these people off who may go get other jobs if you need these workers when the plant fully reopens?” said O’Halloran.

“It doesn’t make any business sense.”

O’Halloran said the workers were completely caught by surprise when XL first announced the layoffs.

“They’re just devastated. They’re in shock.

We were all happy, it was back on track, it looked like the plant would be up and running to some degree the first of the week, and start slaughtering,” he said.

“They’re left trying to make decisions: ‘Do I try to get a job elsewhere?

Do I try to wait this out?’

The people in Brooks are like a lot of other Canadians who live paycheque to paycheque.”

The XL Foods plant is the second-largest meat packer in the country and slaughters and processes more than onethird of Canada’s beef.

The impact of the plant closure is causing a ripple effect in the cattle industry, where farmers are waiting to sell off their herds.

The plant’s license was suspended on Sept.

27 after the CFIA determined that food safety controls at XL Foods were inadequate.

The agency has also put out food recall notices for products that originated at XL Foods and were distributed across North America.

MEAT: Inspections to continue The Brooks-based company blamed the layoff decision on the fact the federal government hadn’t given it a firm date for when it would get its license back in order to fully resume operations.

But late Sunday afternoon, XL Foods put out a news release saying it was recalling 800 workers to help the CFIA finish its job.

The inspectors are currently halfway through a review of how XL employees process 5,100 beef carcasses. If they’re satisfied with what they see, XL could get its license back.

“We look forward to actively working with CFIA to bring this to a viable and timely resolution to allow the plant to recommence operations,” Brian Nilsson, coCEO of XL Foods, said in a release.

That was a different tone than one the company struck just a day earlier, when they urged the CFIA to come to a “swift and viable resolution,” apparently without the help of the workers.

Lee Nilsson, fellow co-CEO, had also made a pointed reference to the federal agency in an interview Friday with the Alberta Farmer Express.

“I know it’s caused a great amount of turmoil in the beef community.

I’d just like to say hang on because all things will pass, but at this point there seems to be an uncertainty as to which direction CFIA is going with regard to E. coli at my plant, or any other plant in the country,” Nilsson said.

The decision to lay off the workers and effectively shutter the plant caused an immediate backlash.

The CFIA said it was completely up to XL Foods as to when the plant would be reopened, and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz had given no hint of softening on the inspection regime.

On Sunday afternoon, Ritz said he was pleased with XL’s decision to continue with the CFIA review.

“Consumer confidence is critical for Canada’s beef industry, and that’s why we won’t compromise when it comes to the safety of Canadians’ food,” Ritz said in a statement.

“The Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s food safety inspectors

Also on the roster are City Councillor Tara Veer and dance instructor Dean Stroeder, Radio host Tera Lee and Brett Speight, retired lawyer and former MLA Jim McPherson with Janelle Marshall, funeral director Gordon Mathers with Jodi Liptak and realtor

Dance instructor Natalie Brooks, owner of the host studio and winner of the first danceoff with Red Deer Fire Chief Jack MacDonald, is paired this year with Red Deer home builder Terry Loewen.

Christina Moore, chair of the cabinet charged with organizing the 2013 Gala, said each celebrity is asked to approach friends and businesses for a total of at least $10,000 in donations, although she anticipates they will all exceed that goal.

Training for the dance-off includes 10 free dance lessons, with the celebrities to cover additional instruction on their own if they wish.

The winning team gets bragging rights and a trophy mirror ball.

Marion Cloutier, program and fundraising co-ordinator for the Hospice Society, told the gathering during the sneak peak on Sunday that the format for the annual gala was changed to help attract more attention and raise more support, including encouraging the volunteer celebrities to rely more heavily on social media in their fundraising efforts.

Each celebrity dancer is encouraged to set up a web page and will have access to expertise through the Hospice Society, said Cloutier. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

CHICKENS: No roosters People who oppose the notion of urban chickens often raise noise as an issue, assuming that where there are hens, there has to be a rooster, said tour organizer Deborah van Delden, who also keeps a few laying hens in her yard.

Yes, a crowing rooster makes a lot of racket when the sun comes up in the morning, said van Delden.

Hens lay eggs regardless of whether there’s a rooster around, the same as any other warmblooded female, including women, said van Delden. No hen keeper interested in enjoying fresh eggs is going to want a rooster fertilizing them, she said.

Roosters are not allowed in any of the urban centres where people are now allowed to keep a small clutch of hens, she said.

Noise is never an issue at night. The hens shut down completely when it starts to get dark and stay still until after the sun rises in

the morning, said van Delden.

Four or five hens is plenty, said Eileen, who set up a small chicken coop in her backyard about two months ago.

Still new to the backyard chicken scene, Eileen asked that her last name be withheld. She doesn’t think her neighbours know about her chickens and she doesn’t want to encourage complaints.

Deb Ganske came to the tour to out of curiousity.

“It’s interesting, actually. I guess I had no clue on what to expect.

You hear people saying they’re smelly and they’re noisy, and I haven’t seen that at all,” said Ganske.

“It seems like they’re quite easy to look after.

They’d be good pets.”

Van Delden said she didn’t hear any negative comments from the 25 or so people who joined the tour, bearing cameras and notepads to record the experience.

She and other CLUCK members are still waiting to see what kind of a proposal the City of Red Deer comes up with

Collisions claim one life, cause injuries Vehicle collisions claimed one life and injured a number of other people in Central Alberta during the weekend.

Rocky Mountain House RCMP continue their investigation of a two-vehicle collision shortly after midnight on Saturday, about 11 kilometres west of the town.

Police report that a 20-year-old man died in hospital of wounds sustained when a pickup truck struck the rear of a car that had stopped on the shoulder.

There were six people in the car and the driver of the pickup was alone in his vehicle at the time

ACCIDENTS of the crash, said Cpl. Shawna Lozinski, a member of the Rocky RCMP detachment.

The man who died had been a passenger in the car, said Lozinski.

Jaws of Life had to be used to remove two of the six people from the car.

Injuries ranged from minor to serious, with victims taken to hospitals in Rocky, Red Deer and Calgary.

Hwy 11 was closed for four hours while emergency crews worked at the scene.

Later the same morn-

ing, Stettler RCMP were called to a single-vehicle collision that severely injured an 18-year-old man.

Police say the young man and three passengers were travelling in a full-size pickup that rolled at the intersection of Hwys 11 and 12 near Nevis, 20 kilometres west of Stettler, just before 2:30 a.m.

Heavy fog at the time meant STARS air ambulance was unable to fly to the scene.

The young driver, who was not buckled in, suffered critical injuries after being ejected from the truck.

He was taken by

ground ambulance to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.

The other three people, two men aged 31 and 26 and a 20-year-old woman, were treated at Stettler hospital for injuries not believed to be life threatening.

Police believe speed and poor visibility due to the heavy fog were factors in the collision. Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor.

for dealing with urban chickens.

While the issue was brought forward earlier this year, the discussion seems to have disappeared recently, said Smith.

That means a number of those who now have chicken coops in their backyards will probably

still try to keep their activities to themselves, said Smith and van Delden.

Others said they are considering setting up hen houses, but will wait for city council to come up with a bylaw before making the move. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Will Alberta play its part?

FEDERAL PROPOSAL TO SAVE WOODLAND CARIBOU REQUIRES THAT THE PROVINCE PLAY A ROLE Ottawa’s long-awaited recovery strategy for Canada’s vanishing woodland caribou could be on a collision course with the province.

The plan, five years overdue, places major emphasis on the preservation of caribou habitat.

It says the energy industry is a major player in the destruction of caribou habitat. In particular, oilsands development is one of the largest intruders of habitat in the fragile boreal forests.

The federal plan says caribou ranges should be at least 65 per cent undisturbed.

“For boreal caribou ranges with less that 65 per cent undisturbed habitat, restoration . . . will be necessary,” the report stated.

The report concludes that most of the ranges not meeting the 65 per cent

threshold are in Alberta, where oilsands development has disturbed more than 80 per cent of some areas.

This could put the federal plans at odds with the province, said Simon Dyer of RICK the Pembina ZEMANEK Institute, an environmental think-tank.

“The target for every range is to incrementally start improving toward 65 per cent,” said Dyer. “I would think that it would require a much higher level of due diligence (in Alberta) to ensure restoration is exceeding the rate of new development. It does set the recovery plan on a collision course with industry.”

Previous studies have suggested that almost all Alberta caribou herds,

INSIGHT

most of which are in the oilsands region, are very unlikely to survive. Restoring habitat in those areas to meet the 65 per cent protection standards would be a mammoth and incredibly costly task.

Carolyn Campbell of the Alberta Wilderness Association warns that cooperation between federal and provincial governments is paramount for the strategy to work.

Campbell said her group is elated that Ottawa has “recognized the most urgent thing is habitat restoration and landscape planning.”

However, it’s not clear to what extent the province will co-operate with the caribou recovery plan.

The environmental watchdog group Eco-Justice gave Alberta a failing grade for its species at risk management in a recent report.

It was noted that Alberta, unlike many other provinces, has no legislation specific to species at risk. There’s no system in place to identify such species, no requirement to protect species’ habitat and no legal requirement to implement recovery action.

So is Alberta legally obligated to accept Ottawa’s plans for the woodland caribou? That remains to be seen.

Based on past history, it seems unlikely that the province will be anxious to help.

The wilderness association points to the province’s record of ignoring the struggling populations of the caribou, grizzly bears and the greater sage grouse.

“It’s important to remember that this is not just about individual species; it is about entire ecosystems that they represent,” said Katie Rasmussen, a conservation specialist with the association. “If one species is faring poorly, it’s likely those problems are affecting the whole system.”

Of equal concern is the suggestion that Ottawa intends to weaken its Species at Risk Act this fall, meaning there will be a greater need for provinces to be leaders in the battle to protect species.

Either way, the pressure to act lands firmly in the province’s lap.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Busy thoroughfare clogged; bikes should stay on sidewalks As I neither drive a car nor ride a bicycle, my opinion of the new bike lanes is probably less personal than those of many others from whom you are hearing.

However, I am a taxpayer and as such feel I, and the rest of the taxpaying residents of Red Deer, should have been invited to voice our opinions before council arbitrarily spent what, $750,000? $800,000? $1.3 million?

I have heard all these figures quoted, but nobody seems to have an official quote.

Waiting for my bus on 39th Street, I see hundreds of cars, trucks and a few motorcycles and buses, but rarely even one bicycle.

For this, our busy thoroughfare has been reduced to one motor traffic lane in each direction.

What was wrong with our relatively few bicycles using the sidewalk? There are no pedestrians using them in my neighbourhood.

Ask bus drivers, ask taxi drivers, ask operators of emergency services what they think of this new development!

Then, please get out there, quick, and repaint those lane lines before the snow covers them up for six or seven months and nobody knows where they are allowed to drive.

The recent letter to the Advocate from Al Coker says it better than I. I understand someone has a petition going; add my name to it, please!

Short-term view won’t get the job done AN ENERGY PLAN MUST BE ABOUT MORE THAN JUST ENERGY; MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IMPACT OF THAT PLAN Feeding our energy appetite is top of mind for many people these days. Some argue we should get coal, oil and gas out of the ground as quickly as possible, build more pipelines and make as much money as we can selling it here and abroad. Their priorities are the economy and meeting short-term energy needs so we can live the lives to which we’ve become accustomed.

Many others question those priorities. Do we gain comfort and happiness by driving inefficient automobiles, buying and scrapping and then buying more stuff that we must DAVID work harder to pay for, and SUZUKI selling resources to enrich the fossil fuel industry and to allow other countries to follow our unsustainable path?

Some governments and industry favour the shortterm view. But it’s a “false economy” – it will cost us more in the long run. What about our children and grandchildren and their children and grandchildren? Do we not want them to live healthy and happy lives? If we pollute the air, water and soil that keep us alive and well, and destroy the biodiversity that allows natural systems to function, no amount of money will save us.

While rushing to exploit our valuable and diminishing fossil fuels, Canada’s government is simultaneously “streamlining” environmental regulations

and review processes, cutting scientific staff and departments and limiting public debate on projects that could irreparably damage our rich natural heritage.

Some provinces are attempting to water down hard-won environmental laws, like endangered species legislation, that act as a critical hedge against environmental degradation.

The federal government is also neglecting its legal obligations to protect species at risk. Ecojustice, on behalf of five conservation groups including the David Suzuki Foundation, recently launched a lawsuit to challenge the government’s multi-year delays in producing recovery strategies for species that would be affected by the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project.

If we don’t slow down and try to look at ways out of the mess, energy issues will continue to increase, like the Hydra of Greek mythology. With pipelines, the main issue is rapid tar sands expansion. But other massive energy projects are also coming down the pipe – from huge dams, like the Site C in northern B.C., to proposed drilling for oil and gas in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Arctic. To what end?

Not only are fossil fuel companies making record profits, they’re being subsidized by Canadian taxpayers to the tune of $1.4 billion a year. Instead of giving them money, shouldn’t we be compelling them to put at least a small portion of their enormous profits into reducing the massive greenhouse gas emissions they cause?

A large part of the problem is that we are increasing our fossil-fuelled ambitions at breakneck speed in the absence of a national energy strategy. No one

seems to know where we’re going, but the end of the road is looming, and it might lead to a steep drop.

We’re already harming precious ecosystems and are ready to put even more at risk without having an idea of the often irreplaceable value they represent.

With climate change and its impacts, along with deforestation, pollution and increasing urbanization, we’re condemning millions of people to lives of poor health, desperation and even death.

Still, we’ve also created much that is good. We have political systems that encourage public debate and access to information. There are politicians and industry leaders who have joined countless citizens, First Nations, and environmental, labour and socialjustice organizations to question current policies and actions. We have science, medicine and technology that have allowed many of us to live longer. We need to find ways to reconcile our existence with the limits of our finite planet.

What Canada really needs in the short term is a national energy strategy – one that goes beyond fracking and tar sands and pipelines to take into account these many other factors, including wiser use of fossil fuels. It must help us make the transition from our wasteful addiction to polluting and ever-diminishing fossil fuels to conservation and renewable energy. Globally, we need to shift from the outdated 20th-century notion of measuring progress with gross domestic product to a development paradigm that takes into account well-being and happiness, and that accounts for nature’s valuable services.

Firearm-related crime costs billions $3.1 BILLION IN 2008

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Crimes involving guns cost Canadians more than $3 billion a year, suggests an internal Justice Department study that may stoke the gun-control debate.

The newly released report examined all firearmrelated crime in 2008, and calculated costs across a broad range, including the value of policing and prosecuting offenders, lost income and even burial fees for victims.

The total came to $3.1 billion, or about $93 for every person in the country, says the study, completed last year by two federal researchers.

The largest part of the total, about $2.5 billion, arose from so-called “intangible” victim costs, such as amounts assigned to pain, suffering and loss of life. These costs were calculated using broadly accepted values developed by courts, insurance companies and others.

Much of the remaining cost was incurred by the justice system, at $302 million; personal costs and health care, at $221 million; and third-party costs at almost $80 million.

The research was based on 8,710 incidents in which police reported a firearm present at or used in a crime. That works out to about $356,000 for each incident.

The unpublished report, by Justice Department experts Ting Zhang and Yao Qin, was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. The authors say the research is the first to examine the costs of “firearm-related violence specifically and comprehensively.”

The costing information, they say, can help governments set public policy: “For example, is a program that can prevent one robbery with a firearm better than one that prevents three assaults?”

A spokeswoman for the lobby group Coalition for Gun Control welcomed the new data, but noted the report does not account for all gun-related injuries and deaths, such as suicides and accidental shootings.

“This is important data, but by focusing only on the cost of the misuse of firearms in the context of

A new study from Justice Canada says gun-related violent crime may be costing Canadians more than $3 billion a year. crime, it underestimates the costs,” Wendy Cukier, president of the coalition, said in an interview from Toronto.

“Suicides and unintentional injuries or accidents are a substantial proportion of the people killed and injured every year.”

Even so, Cukier compared the $3.1 billion with the estimated $3 million it cost annually to run the gun registry, the long-gun portion of which was abolished by an act of Parliament earlier this year.

“The costs of gun violence and gun deaths and injuries in Canada on an annual basis dwarf the costs of our investments in gun control,” she said.

But a spokeswoman for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, whose department was responsible for the now-defunct long-gun registry, dismissed any claim that the registry reduced crime. “The long-gun registry did not stop a single crime or save a single life,” Julie Carmichael said in an email.

“Our Conservative government is clear — we will do what it takes to keep dangerous criminals behind bars where they belong, and that does not include a wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry.”

The federal government is currently locked in a legal dispute with Quebec, which has gone to court to preserve the long-gun registry data for the province.

CELEBRATE CO-OP WEEK • Oct. 14-20 Not only does October 14 through 20, 2012, mark Co-op Week in Alberta, but 2012 has been proclaimed the International Year of Co-operatives by the United Nations, recognizing the importance of co-operatives to social and economic development worldwide.

In Canada alone, there are over 8,500 co-ops, serving 17 million members. Four of every 10 Canadian are members of at least one co-op.

KEEPING POWER IN YOUR HANDS

www.carea.ca

Canada’s co-operatives hold more than $190 billion in assets, owned by the members and communities they serve. In central Alberta, co-ops help influence economic growth and improve the lives of Albertans.

Since 1909, UFA has grown from a small-scale local co-operative into a comprehensive enterprise with $2.1 billion in annual sales and nearly 120,000 members. UFA has a network of over 110 bulk fuel and cardlock petroleum outlets, 35 Farm & Ranch Supply stores and 25 outdoor adventure stores operating under the Wholesale Sports banner. While UFA has grown and changed over the years, it remains committed to agriculture and rural communities.

Central Alberta Rural Electrification Association (CAREA) celebrated its 20th Anniversary this year. As a co-operative utility, REAs are unique to Alberta, formed when the for-profit utility companies declined to bring electricity to rural Alberta and farmers banded together.

“At The Co‐operators, we have a strong sense of who we are and the role we should play in our communities. We support communities to fulfill a need, not to build our brand or increase our bottom line.”

Mountain View Credit Union is another example of co-operatives in Central Alberta. It is a community-based financial institution with 13 locations and assets of $553 million.

Mountain View serves over 15,000 personal, business and agriculture members in 12 communities. It has paid over $15.1 million in Profit Sharing to members since 1988 and provides a complete line of banking services.

“YOUR COMMUNITY BUILDER”

CAREA was formed from the amalgamation of 13 smaller REAs who realized that joining forces could generate more member benefits. It currently has over 8,300 members.

The Co-operators strives to be a fullservice provider by providing financial security to all Canadians. After the devastating fire in Slave Lake in 2011, claims staff even counseled consumers who were not clients in order to give them the answers they needed.

Unique to Alberta in Canada, REA co-ops are member-owned uƟliƟes providing electrical distribuƟon services. Spanning 16 counƟes in central Alberta, CAREA is proud to generate savings for members by distribuƟng electricity at cost.

Long-shots plunge into Liberal leadership race

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A clutch of little-known long-shots is rushing in where Liberal luminaries fear to tread.

Justin Trudeau’s presumed lock on the federal Liberal leadership race has scared off some would-be big-name rivals; the party’s dismal thirdplace standing has rendered the top job unappealing to others.

But some virtual unknowns aren’t letting Trudeau’s celebrity or the party’s travails deter them.

Deborah Coyne, lawyer, public policy consultant and mother of Trudeau’s halfsister, Ottawa lawyer David Bertschi and Vancouver

She is feverishly trying to raise money.

But, apart from Trudeau, most Liberal notables are taking a pass. Erstwhile Liberal stars like former New Brunswick premier Frank McKenna and one-time deputy prime minister John Manley have ruled themselves out, as have most sitting MPs, including New Brunswick’s Dominic LeBlanc and Nova Scotia’s Scott Brison and Geoff Regan.

Not to mention Bob Rae, the party’s interim leader.

The dearth of star power has some Liberals casting about for a heavyweight who could pose a serious challenge to the Trudeau juggernaut.

There’s a Facebook campaign to draft Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of Canada, despite his public denial of interest last spring. It’s supported by the likes of Tim Murphy, one-time chief of staff

U.S. bullying victim left speechless by the death of Vancouver-area teen

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Their pleas for help were strikingly similar but ended with tragically different results.

Amanda Todd, 15, of Port Coquitlam, B.C., and Jonah Mowry, now 15, of Lake Forest, Calif., may have never met but both lived lives of torment at the hands of bullies.

Both recounted their suffering through handwritten notes, f l a s h e d b e f o r e Amanda Todd video cameras and published online.

They wrote about their loneliness, lack of friends and thoughts of suicide, yet only one remains alive.

The BC Coroners Service has said preliminary indications suggest Todd took her own life last Wednesday.

“I was kind of speechless,” said Mowry, when he learned of Todd’s death.

“I kept thinking I wish I could have known her, I wish I could have talked to her, I wish I could have done something.”

In the wake of Todd’s death, victims of bullying across North America like Mowry and his parents and their friends are reliving their own experiences and offering advice on how to survive the torment and end the harassment.

The reactions come while RCMP investigators conduct interviews and review the factors that led to the death of the B.C. teen.

The tragedy also follows a ruling last month by the Supreme Court of Canada, which granted a Nova Scotia teenager, identified only as A.B., anonymity so she can pursue a lawsuit over a fake Facebook page that she alleges defamed her.

to former prime minister Paul Martin.

And there’s been increasing buzz of late about a campaign to draft Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, although he too has repeatedly ruled himself out in the past.

So why would a bunch of unknowns jump in when so many higher-profile heavyweights won’t?

Certainly, they have less to lose. Whereas a star candidate risks diminishing his or her reputation by finishing badly, a little-known long-shot can gain profile and kudos just by running a credible, if losing, campaign.

Hall Findlay, for instance, parlayed her spunky 2006 campaign into the offer of a safe Toronto seat, which she won in a 2008 byelection.

She was re-elected in the subsequent general election that year but was defeated in

Only weeks before that ruling, Todd posted her nine-minute video on YouTube, in which she explained through hand-written notes how she exposed her breasts on a webcam to an unidentified man, and how those images ended up being sent to family and friends.

She described how she suffered anxiety, major depression and turned to drugs and alcohol and even tried to kill herself twice. The video ends with her note: “I have nobody. I need someone.”

The video is eerily similar to one shot by Mowry almost a year earlier.

In his video shot before entering Grade 8, an often-tearful but silent Mowry describes through hand-written notes how he had been bullied since Grade 1 and how he had constant thoughts of suicide.

With only one friend left in his school because others were moving on to high school, Mowry describes the fear he felt of the approaching academic year, how people hated him and the names he was called.

Mowry, though, ends his video, which received national attention in the U.S., by saying he wasn’t going anywhere and he has “a million reasons to be here.”

“I learned not to care,” said Mowry, reflecting on the experience. “I was probably made fun of on a daily occurrence but I just learned that it didn’t matter to me.”

He said he accepted himself for being gay, and is now involved in school activities like track and field.

Mowry said he was never successful with his suicide attempts because friends would sometimes text him and take his mind off the matter, and other times he would “get light headed.”

“I just decided that I was going to try and make myself happier and killing myself wasn’t the answer.”

He said he then made the video, posting it first on a private YouTube channel, before placing it on Facebook.

the 2011 rout, which reduced the Liberals to a third-party rump.

Then, of course there’s always the chance of scoring a stunning upset.

Dion did it in 2006 and, this time, the party has adopted a new process for selecting a leader that is even more encouraging to the proverbial dark horses, lessening the need for big financial and organizational muscle and doing away with the traditional delegated convention altogether.

This time, all party members — as well as anyone willing to register as a Liberal supporter, without having to pay a membership fee — will be entitled to vote in their ridings for the candidate of their choice.

The results will be weighted to give each riding equal clout.

VANCOUVER — It’s been five years since Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski died after police zapped him with a Taser at Vancouver International Airport.

His mother, Zofia Cisowski, has gone to place candles and flowers in the exact location where her son died in 2007.

She says she and her son had spent seven years planning his move to Kamloops, B.C., where he was to live with her, but all those dreams were destroyed.

Cisowski is now part of an advocacy group organized by family members and friends of people injured or killed by police.

She says she’s heartened to learn of a report showing police have reduced Taser use in B.C. by 87 per cent since her son died.

Dziekanski, who did not speak English, was shocked with a Taser by RCMP who spotted him displaying erratic behaviour after he became lost for hours in the international arrivals area of the airport.

Rebels ‘a step behind’ in loss

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

DEREK JETER

JETER BREAKS ANKLE Derek Jeter has broken his ankle and is out for the rest of the postseason. Three innings after Raul Ibanez sent the 47,122 in Yankee Stadium into a frenzy with a tying two-run homer, the durable Yankees captain stunned the crowd silent when he didn’t get up after making a diving stop on Jhonny Peralta’s groundball in the 12th inning. From delirium to terror in three innings. The New York Yankees shortstop dived to his left for the sharp grounder and winced in pain as he flipped the ball toward second.

Hitmen 4 Rebels 2 CALGARY — The Red Deer Rebels looked like they were closing out a lengthy road trip on Saturday night at the Saddledome.

The Rebels actually concluded a sixgames-in-eight-nights jaunt last Tuesday and followed up with a 2-1 win over Medicine Hat on Friday at the Centrium. Perhaps the busy schedule caught up to the Rebels in Calgary, where they were outshot 37-19 in a 4-2 Western Hockey League loss to the Hitmen.

“It sure looked that way. We were second to pucks and just seemed to be a step behind all night,” said Rebels head coach Jesse Wallin.

Still, the Rebels were alive and well after 40 minutes, thanks to second-period goals from Tyson Ness — short-handed — and Cory Millette just over two minutes apart to move ahead 2-1.

“We gave ourselves a chance with those two goals. That seemed to give us a bit of life,” said Wallin.

The Hitmen, however, pulled even before the middle frame ended when captain Cody Sylvester scored with Rebels defenceman Jan Bittner serving a holding infrac-

tion.

The tying tally didn’t sit well with Wallin.

“That was kind of a tough goal. We felt there should have been a penalty on the play,” said the Rebels bench boss. “(Mathew) Dumba was skating backwards through the neutral zone and was interfered with which allowed them into the zone and they scored off the rush.

“We were upset on the play. It was a tough goal to give up given the situation,

but ultimately we went into the third period all square.”

Sylvester scored the winning goal midway through the final frame.

“We gave up a tough goal on a four-onfour. It was just missed coverage at our net front and ended up being the difference,” said Wallin.

Brooks Macek added an empty-net goal for Calgary in the final minute. Hitmen rookie Jake Virtanen notched his second of the season in the opening stanza.

Bolton Pouliot made 33 saves in the Rebels net, while rookie Mack Shields stopped 17 shots for the Hitmen.

“Bolton was solid. He’s been calm and composed all season and has given us a chance to win every night,” said Wallin.

Pouliot remains as the Rebels’ starter for now with Patrik Bartosak at least temporarily suspended by the team for disciplinary reasons. Rebels general manager Brent Sutter is expected to reassess the situation today.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers throws against the Houston Texans in the first quarter Sunday, in Houston. Rodgers tied a franchise record with six touchdown passes as the Packers went on to a big 42-24 win over the previously unbeaten Texans.

Packers 42 Texans 24 HOUSTON — Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers finally put it all together.

The reigning MVP set a career high and tied a franchise record with six touchdown passes and the Packers played their best game of their so far inconsistent season, beating previously unbeaten Houston 42-24 on Sunday night.

Jordy Nelson caught three touchdown passes and James Jones had two, including a beautiful, diving one-hander in the fourth quarter for the Packers (3-3). Tom Crabtree had the other, a 48-yarder that Rodgers threw just before taking a hit from Texans’ outside linebacker Brooks Reed.

Rodgers completed 24 of 37 passes for 338 yards. He tied Matt Flynn’s game record for TD passes, set in last year’s regularseason finale against Detroit with Rodgers resting on the sideline in advance of the playoffs.

Arian Foster scored two touchdowns, but ran for only 29 yards for the Texans (5-1).

The loss leaves the Atlanta Falcons (6-0) as the only unbeaten team in the NFL. Houston had the league’s third-ranked defence and badly missed star linebacker Brian Cushing, who was placed on injured reserve after tearing a knee ligament in last week’s 23-17 win over the New York Jets.

Still, the Texans had no reason not to feel confident. Houston is off to its best start in franchise history, while Rodgers and the Packers had been strangely erratic.

But the Texans looked like the team out of sorts from the start on Sunday night.

Tigers take commanding lead over Yankees MISSED CALL BY UMPIRE, PITCHING BY SANCHEZ CONTRIBUTE TO SHUTOUT ON SUNDAY

Sanchez shut down a Yankees lineup minus injured Derek Jeter, and Detroit won without any drama this time, beating New York 3-0 Sunday.

Making his second post-season start, Sanchez threw threehit ball deep into the game to make Tigers manager Jim Leyland’s job much easier. A day after closer Jose Valverde gave up four runs in the ninth, Leyland said the righty wouldn’t close Game 2.

“I thought we hung in there and took advantage of a couple of things,” Leyland said. “And those are some of the things you need in post-season play. You never know how it’s going to play out.”

The Tigers scored twice in the eighth after second base umpire Jeff Nelson missed a call on a two-out tag at second base. Yankees manager Joe Girardi argued, and was ejected on his 48th birthday.

“The hand did not get in be-

fore the tag,” Nelson said after seeing a replay. “The call was incorrect.”

Game 3 in the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Detroit, with reigning AL MVP Justin Verlander starting for the Tigers against Phil Hughes.

Verlander went 2-0 in the division series versus Oakland, including a four-hit shutout with 11 strikeouts in the decisive Game 5.

The Tigers led 1-0 in the eighth and had Omar Infante on first with two outs. Austin Jackson singled and when Infante took a wide turn at second, right fielder Nick Swisher threw behind him.

Robinson Cano made a swipe tag as Infante made a head-first dive back to second.

Cano missed Infante’s arm but brushed his body, replays clearly showed. But Nelson called Infante safe.

Cano and Girardi pleaded the call to no avail. Boone Logan replaced Kuroda and gave up an RBI single to pinch hitter Avisail Garcia to make it 2-0.

“It’s frustrating. I don’t have a problem with Jeff’s effort, I don’t, because he hustled to get to the play. But in this day and age when we have instant replay available to us, it’s got to change,” Girardi said.

“These guys are under tremendous amounts of pressure.

It is a tough call for him because the tag is underneath and it’s hard for him to see. And it takes more time to argue and get upset than you get the call right. Too much is at stake,” he said.

Detroit rallies for win over Eagles

REDSKINS 38, VIKINGS 26 LANDOVER, Md. — Robert Griffin III ran for 138 yards and two touchdowns, including a 76-yard scamper with 2:43 to play, and Washington snapped an eight-game home losing streak.

One week after he left the game early with his first NFL concussion, Griffin also completed 17 of 22 passes for 182 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

The Redskins (3-3) feasted on a Minnesota team that had not allowed more than 23 points in a game this season.

Minnesota’s three-game winning streak ended. The Vikings are 4-2.

Minnesota held an early 9-0 lead but paid the price for getting field goals instead of touchdowns in the red zone.

Christian Ponder completed 35 of 52 passes for 352 yards.

SEAHAWKS 24, PATRIOTS 23 SEATTLE — Russell Wilson found Sidney Rice behind the secondary for a 46-yard touchdown with 1:18 remaining, and Seattle rallied for 14 points in the final 7:31.

The matchup between the Patriots’ No. 1 ranked offence and Seattle’s No. 1 defence instead turned in to a starring performance for Wilson — and a shocking rally.

Wilson hit Braylon Edwards on fourth down for a 10-yard TD to get the Seahawks’ within 23-17. After a pair of holds by Seattle’s defence, Wilson found Rice open on a double move.

Steven Hauschka’s extra point gave Seattle the lead.

Tom Brady and the Patriots (3-3) were then stopped on fourth down at their 28 when Wes Welker came up 2 yards short, and the Seahawks (4-2) were able to celebrate the unlikely comeback.

FALCONS 23, RAIDERS 20 ATLANTA — Matt Bryant kicked his second game-winning field goal in three weeks, a 55-yarder with 1 second remaining.

Overcoming Matt Ryan’s three interceptions, the Falcons (6-0) extended the best start in franchise history. But

BILLS 19, CARDINALS 16 OT GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jairus Byrd’s second interception of the game set up Rian Lindell’s 25-yard field goal 3:50 into overtime.

The loss ended Arizona’s eight-game home winning streak.

Byrd picked off a pass from John Skelton, who had replaced the injured Kevin Kolb, and returned it 29 yards to the Arizona 6 to set up the winning kick.

Arizona’s Jay Feely kicked a franchise-record 61-yard field goal with 1:09 left in regulation to tie it 16-16, but his 38-yard attempt to win it as the fourth quarter ended careened off the left upright. Feely says someone tipped the attempt.

The Cardinals (4-2) lost their second in a row after a 4-0 start. The Bills (3-3) won after allowing 1,201 yards and 97 points in their previous two games.

GIANTS 26, 49ERS 3 SAN FRANCISCO — Antrel Rolle intercepted two passes by Alex Smith, Prince Amukamara picked off another for New York in a rematch of last season’s NFC championship game.

After outscoring the Bills and Jets by a combined 79-3 the last two weeks, the 49ers (4-2) met their match again with Eli Manning and New York’s top team.

No overtime needed this time, and not much of Manning either.

Manning threw for 193 yards and one touchdown, Ahmad Bradshaw ran for 116 yards and a score and the Giants (4-2) rode a dominant defence and four field goals by Lawrence Tynes to hand outspoken 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh the most lopsided loss of his tenure.

RAVENS 31, COWBOYS 29 BALTIMORE — Jacoby Jones tied an NFL record with a 108-yard kickoff return and Baltimore won its 14th straight regular-season home game Dallas ran for 227 yards, most ever against the Ravens, and totalled 481 yards offence. But the Cowboys (2-3) missed a 2-point conversion after closing to two points with 32 seconds left.

Dallas recovered the onside kick, and Dan Bailey was wide left on a 51-yard field goal try with 6 seconds left.

Ray Rice scored two touchdowns and Joe Flacco threw for a score to help the Ravens (5-1) secure their fourth consecutive victory and enhance their grip on first place in the AFC North. Baltimore’s home winning streak is the longest current run in the NFL. BUCCANEERS 38, CHIEFS 10 TAMPA, Fla. — Josh Freeman threw for 328 yards and three touchdowns and Ronde Barber scored on a

STORIES FROM B1

NFL: Looked shaky Rookie DeVier Posey lined up offsides on a Green Bay punt, resulting in a Packers’ first down. Rodgers then lofted a perfect pass to Nelson over the shoulder of cornerback Johnathan Joseph for a 41-yard touchdown, stunning the noisy crowd.

Houston’s offensive line also looked shaky. The Packers sacked Matt Schaub on each of Houston’s first two series, forcing quick punts. Schaub was only sacked three times in the first five games.

Houston defensive end J.J. Watt sacked Rodgers, and fired up the fans by mimicking Rodgers’ “championship belt” pose after the play. Watt came into the game with 7 1-2 sacks, just behind Green Bay’s Clay Matthews, who led the league with eight.

That didn’t faze Rodgers, who eluded a rush from Connor Barwin and completed a 24-yard pass to Randall Cobb, who had seven catches for 102 yards.

Jones made a diving, fingertip catch in the end zone just before the end of the first quarter for a 14-0 lead.

Foster finished a 5-minute drive with a short touchdown run, but the Packers had a quick answer.

Rodgers found Nelson with a 21-yard touchdown to cap a smooth drive that took less than 4 minutes.

Rodgers completed 15 of 21 passes for 187 yards and was only sacked once in the first half. He connected with six receivers, and didn’t miss Greg Jennings, who sat out again with a groin injury.

Not that they needed it, but the Texans helped Rodgers with some untimely penalties.

A holding call wiped out an 11-yard touchdown run by Rodgers. But Barwin stepped on another player’s back trying to block Mason Crosby’s fieldgoal attempt, an unsportsmanlike conduct call resulting in a first down.

Safety Danieal Manning was called for a personal foul after a whistle on a third-down play, and Rodgers threw another TD pass for a 28-10 lead.

Rookie receiver Keshawn Martin made two firstdown catches late in the third quarter and Foster scored again. Cobb returned the ensuing kickoff to the Packers’ 43, and Rodgers went back to work. On third down, he scrambled to his right and threw to Crabtree, who was wide open and waltzed into the end zone.

Sam Shields intercepted Schaub and fans started filing for the exits, with more than 14 minutes remaining. Shields left the game later with a shin injury.

Bryan Braman blocked Tim Masthay’s punt and Posey recovered in the end zone with 5:30 left.

LEAD: Shouting Girardi returned to lift Logan for Joba Chamberlain, and then he remained on the field to resume

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III gets away from Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith to score a touchdown during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, in Landover, Md. 78-yard interception return.

Freeman teamed with Mike Williams on a 62-yard scoring play in the first quarter and threw TD passes of 19 and 17 yards to Vincent Jackson in the second half as the Bucs (2-3) stopped a three-game losing streak.

The Bucs intercepted Brady Quinn — starting for the Matt Cassel (concussion) — twice in the Kansas City quarterback’s first start in nearly three years. They also limited NFL rushing leader Jamaal Charles to 40 yards on 12 carries.

BROWNS 34, BENGALS 24 CLEVELAND — Rookie Brandon Weeden threw two touchdown passes and Cleveland snapped an 11-game losing streak that dated to last season.

Cleveland had not won since Nov. 20, matching a franchise record for consecutive losses.

But for the first time this season everything fell into place for the Browns (1-5).

Montario Hardesty, filling in for injured rookie Trent Richardson, scored on a 1-yard plunge and cornerback Sheldon Brown intercepted Andy Dalton and returned it 19 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter as the Browns outscored the Bengals (3-3) in the second half 27-10.

JETS 35, COLTS 9 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Shonn Greene ran for a career-high 161 yards and three touchdowns, Mark

the argument. Red-faced with neck muscles bulging, Girardi could be seen shouting at Nelson, “You were right there. How could you miss it?” He was tossed

by Nelson for his first post-season ejection.

Miguel Cabrera added a run-scoring single in the inning.

Cano had no luck at the plate, either. The AllStar’s slump extended to a record 26 hitless at-bats in a single post-season, breaking the mark of 24 set

by Baltimore’s Bobby Bonilla in 1996, STATS LLC said.

There were many empty seats near the foul poles, and a subdued crowd spent much of the day venting its frustration, booing the punchless Yankees. The 47,082 in attendance reserved its biggest cheers early for Jeter, who broke his ankle in the 12th inning of Saturday night’s 6-4 loss.

The “Bleacher Creatures” included the captain in their roll call and fans let out a modest cheer pregame when Jeter was shown in video thanking fans on the scoreboard.

While the Yankees are headed to Detroit for what they hope will be three games, their captain will fly to Charlotte, N.C., to visit a foot specialist.

Jhonny Peralta singled in the sixth for the Tigers’ first baserunner against Kuroda, who was pitching on short rest for the first time in his big league career. Delmon Young then gave Detroit the lead with a forceout grounder in the seventh, a night after putting the Tigers ahead in the 12th inning with a double.

Sanchez has had quite the success in the Bronx.

He made his big league debut at the old Yankee Stadium when it was across the street, and pitched 5 2-3 shutout innings for Marlins in 2006. The only player to notch two hits against him in that game was Jeter.

Pitching for the first time in this four-year-old

Sanchez was efficient and Tim Tebow made a few big plays.

Even the Jets’ maligned defence was able to shut down Andrew Luck and the Colts’ offence as New York snapped a two-game losing streak that had many wondering if the season was about to spiral out of control.

For a week, at least, Sanchez was in total control and the Jets (3-3) had their best overall performance — save for a handful of personal foul penalties — since an opening-week rout of Buffalo.

Indianapolis (2-3) trailed 21-6 at halftime and couldn’t erase a big deficit for the second straight week after coming back from 18 points and beating Green Bay last Sunday.

DOLPHINS 17, RAMS 14 MIAMI — Ryan Tannehill threw two touchdown passes and Miami withstood a late rally.

The Rams faced a fourth-and-8 at the Miami 48-yard line with 30 seconds left, and rather than go for a first down, coach Jeff Fisher sent out rookie Greg Zuerlein to try a 66-yard field goal, which missed wide left.

Zuerlein made two field goals to improve to 15 for 15 this season, but then missed three times in a row, including from 48 and 32 yards in the first half.

The Rams outgained the Dolphins 461-209.

Both teams are 3-3. Fisher lost to the team that courted him in January, when he chose the Rams job instead.

ballpark — and in front of his parents — Sanchez limited the slumping Yankees to just three hits and three walks, one an intentional pass to Raul Ibanez.

When Ichiro Suzuki reached on Sanchez’s fielding error to open the sixth and advanced to third with two outs, Peralta was there to bail out his pitcher with another nifty play, bare-handing a slow grounder for the third out.

Sanchez made a crafty play of his own in the first with runners on first and second, reaching behind his back to glove Russell Martin’s comebacker.

Leyland took Valverde out of consideration for the closer role on Sunday. Valverde gave up a pair of two-run homers in the ninth inning Saturday night and also blew a save in the division series.

Former Yankees reliever Phil Coke pitched two innings for the save.

Kuroda did all he could to help keep it close for the Yankees’ anemic offence.

Curtis Granderson went 0 for 3 with three strikeouts and a walk and Alex Rodriguez singled in the ninth for his third hit of the post-season and finished 1 for 4. A-Rod is 0 for 18 with 12 Ks against right-handed pitchers in these playoffs. When he lined out to left field in the seventh fans gave a mock cheer.

NOTES: Cabrera reached base in all 18 playoff games with Detroit, matching Hank Greenberg for the longest vs streak in team history.

LIONS 26 EAGLES 23 PHILADELPHIA — Jason Hanson kicked a 45-yard field goal in overtime and the Detroit Lions rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 26-23 on Sunday.

Held in check most of the game, Matthew Stafford led Detroit to 17 points in the fourth quarter. He threw a TD pass and ran for a score.

Detroit had two shots from the Eagles 1 after a pass interference penalty on Colt Anderson with 13 seconds left in regulation. But Stafford misfired on both passes and Hanson kicked a 19-yard field goal to send it to overtime.

The Lions (2-3) sacked Michael Vick on the first two plays of the extra quarter, forced a punt out of the end zone and started at midfield.

Stafford hit Calvin Johnson for a 17-yard gain to the Eagles 27 on firstand-20. A few plays later, Hanson nailed the game-winner.

The Eagles (3-3) head into their bye week with two straight losses.

it wasn’t easy against the pesky Raiders (1-4).

Atlanta pulled ahead when Asante Samuel returned an interception 79 yards for a touchdown with 2:40 remaining, only to wind up tied again when Carson Palmer led Oakland down the field for a tying score. Darren McFadden powered in from the 2 with 40 seconds left.

That was just enough time for Ryan and Bryant to pull off another fourthquarter victory. Ryan completed four passes to set up the winning kick.

NLCS

Another poor start

by Bumgarner leads to loss for Giants

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS St. Louis 6 San Francisco 4 SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants are showing how little home-field advantage matters in the baseball playoffs.

Madison Bumgarner allowed two homers and got knocked out early for the second time this post-season and the Giants once again got off to a bad start to a series at home, losing Game 1 of the NL championship series 6-4 to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night.

“We hate to lose them at home. But it happens,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “We’ve got to wash this one off and come out and be ready to go tomorrow.”

The Giants have lost all three home games so far this post-season, with Bumgarner taking the defeat in two of them.

They managed to overcome that in the first round against Cincinnati by becoming the first team ever to win the final three games of a best-of-five series on the road.

But if San Francisco is to make it back to the World Series for a second time in three years, the team must win at AT&T Park at least once this series against the wild-card Cardinals.

Game 2 will be Monday night with San Francisco’s Ryan Vogelsong taking on St. Louis’ Chris Carpenter.

Playing at home has usually been a big advantage for the Giants, who excel with the nightly sellouts and spacious dimensions that help the pitching staff.

San Francisco had a 48-33 record at AT&T Park during the regular season and won five of seven post-season home games on the way to the World Series title two years ago.

That hasn’t been the case this October as the Giants have been outscored 20-6 in the three home games.

The common theme so far has been subpar starting pitching with Bumgarner the main culprit. After going 2-0 with a 2.18 ERA as a rookie in the post-season two years ago, Bumgarner hasn’t made it through five innings in either

High School Football League play Friday.

Joel Bishop, Josh Jorstad and Josh Saddleback scored two touchdowns each for the Sabres with Paul Fuller adding one.

Dallas McMurer kicked five converts.

Josh Simons had both touchdowns and a convert for the Broncs as he rushed 17 times for 144 yards.

Fuller led the Sabres with 122 yards rushing on 10 carries.

start this year.

“You have to try to find a way, which I wasn’t able to do,” Bumgarner said. “You just have to keep battling, keep trying to find a way to get the ball where it’s supposed to go.”

Bumgarner looked in good form at the start, needing just 11 pitches to get through a perfect first inning. But nothing was easy after that.

Yadier Molina lined a single on an 0-2 pitch with one out in the second. David Freese then drove a 3-2 pitch over the wall in left-centre to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead.

Bumgarner then couldn’t make it out of the fourth.

Daniel Descalso doubled and scored on Pete Kozma’s double. Jon Jay added a two-out RBI single and Beltran ended Bumgarner’s night with the homer.

That marked the first time all year that Bumgarner allowed two homers in a home game and gave him an 11.25 ERA in the post-season.

“I haven’t had a lot of life on the ball,” Bumgarner said.

“In cases where your stuff might not be as sharp you have to try to find a way to get it where it’s supposed to go. I’m just missing over the plate a little bit.”

Even a strong night from Tim Lincecum and the bullpen couldn’t overcome Bumgarner’s rough outing. Five Giants relievers combined for 5 1-3 hitless innings with Lincecum throwing two.

The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner had been demoted to the bullpen so far in the playoffs after a rough regular season. He has allowed just one run in 8 1-3 innings so far and gives Bochy an option if he decides not to give the struggling Bumgarner another start.

No Giants starter has made it through the sixth inning so far this post-season.

“If we avoid bumps early I feel like we’ll be all right,” Lincecum said. “It’s not ideal when our starters do what they’re doing right now.”

The Giants bats woke up in the fourth inning when RBI hits by Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford and a tworun triple by Gregor Blanco cut the deficit to 6-4.

Saddleback connected on eight of 12 passes for 180 yards with Bishop grabbing four for 114 yards and Jorstad three for 51.

Nick Grant had both catches for Ponoka for 25 yards.

The Sabres (3-1-0) finished second in the B Pool and will host Sylvan Lake (2-2-0) in the quarter-finals this weekend. Ponoka will meet Lindsay Thurber at Great Chief Park in the battle of the fifth-place teams.

Both were 0-4-0.

Other quarter-final games sees Hunting Hills (3-0-1) hosting Camrose (1-3-0), Notre Dame (3-0-1) taking on Rocky Mountain House (2-2-0) at Great Chief Park and Lacombe(1-3-0) at Stettler (4-0-0).

Notre Dame Cougars coach Sherry Schulzke is convinced that her senior girls volleyball team is better for having competed in four tournaments this season.

Meanwhile, no one in the Central Alberta High School League has to be reminded of just how good the Cougars are.

“It’s nice to be playing some of the top teams in the province in our tournament,” Schulzke said on Saturday, prior to her squad taking on provincially No. 1 ranked William Aberhart of Calgary in the girls final of the Cougar Classic.

“The more exposure we can get to top teams the better we’re going to play, whether we win or lose.”

The Cougars came out on the short end of the final, taking the first game of the best-of-five 2523 but then falling 10-25, 20-25, 18-25.

Notre Dame finished first in the six-team round-robin, posting a perfect 5-0 record that included a 25-21, 25-23 win over William Aberhart. The Cougars also defeated Calgary E.P. Scarlett 26-27, 25-15, 15-2, downed Paul Kane of St. Albert 25-11, 25-11, swept Stony Plain Memorial 25-15, 25-22 and closed out with a 25-12, 22-25, 15-13 victory over Edmonton Ross Sheppard, ranked second in the province.

Notre Dame then downed Memorial 25-17, 25-14, 25-19 in a best-of-five semifinal, while Aberhart took care of Ross Sheppard 21-25, 25-18, 25-20, 25-21 in the other semifinal.

Middle blocker Nicole Dube was the Notre Dame player of the match in the championship final.

The Cougars ran their record to 7-0 in league play with a 3-0 (25-23, 30-28, 25-17) win over the Lacombe Rams last week. In other tournament play this year, Notre Dame took top honours in the Red Deer College event, placed second at the University of Alberta tourney and fourth at Spruce Grove.

The Cougars will also compete in the Lindsay Thurber Raiders tournament on Friday and Saturday and the Hunting Hills tournament Nov. 2-3.

Notre Dame Cougars Rebecca Burnand and Nicole Dubé jump to the net to block a shot from a Stoney Plain Memorial High School player during volleyball action at Notre Dame on Friday. The Cougars won this match 25-14 and 25-22 after beating Ross Shepherd High School in three games 25-12, 22-25, 16-14.

Schulzke and Megan Boulanger are in their first year as the Notre Dame senior girls coaches, taking over from longtime head coach Chris Wandler who is now handling the women’s program at Olds College.

Schulzke, who took last season off after coaching the Cougars senior boys team for three years, is blessed with a strong roster that includes Laura MacTaggart, a power hitter with the Canadian junior national team this past summer.

“She’s a strong player and a good leader, one of our cocaptains with (power) Kendra Sorensen,” said Schulzke.

“The experience she has she’s brought to the team and that has helped us a lot.”

The Cougars, currently ranked fifth in Alberta, have their sights set on returning to the provincial championship tournament Nov. 22-24 at Lethbridge.

Notre Dame finished fifth last year.

“I would like to hope that we will be going to provincials.

That’s the goal for the girls,” said Schulzke.

For now . . .

“We want to continue working on our blocking and be more of a presence in the front row,” said the coach. “Our strength is we have two strong powers and our middles are starting to step up to the plate.”

Sorensen, MacTaggart and first-year middle Dube are Grade 12 players, as are left side Madison Holland, setter Rebecca Burnand, right side Amy Anderson and middle Emily Elkins, all returnees. The other first-year players are left side Kelsie Caine, power Kyrstin Sandstrom, setter Madison Schmidt, right side Jenna Soroka and middle Brynna Maloughney, all of whom are Grade 11s.

Montreal takes control of East with win RICHARDSON AND EMRY SCORE SECOND HALF TOUCHDOWNS TO LEADS AL’S PAST ARGONAUTS

CFL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Alouettes 24 Argonauts 12 TORONTO — Jamel Richardson couldn’t have picked a better time to register his first 100-yard receiving game of the season.

Richardson and Shea Emry scored second-half touchdowns Sunday to give the Montreal Alouettes a 24-12 victory over the Toronto Argonauts — and a home playoff date.

Richardson scored on a 75-yard touchdown reception at 12:25 in the third quarter for the East Division leaders, injecting some life into what had been a dreary game in front of 25,348 fans at Rogers Centre.

Richardson beat Toronto’s Pat Watkins for the ball before sprinting down the sideline to give the Alouettes a 17-12 lead. The long-distance catch also gave Richardson his first 100-yard game this season after he collected a CFL-record 12 last season when he led the league in receiving.

“Better late than never,” Richardson said, smiling. “At the right time, right place.”

Emry picked off a Jarious Jackson pass intended for Jason Barnes at 6:17 in the fourth quarter and ran 46 yards to give the Als a 24-12 lead. It was Emry’s first interception for a touchdown and Montreal’s first this season.

“I think he made a great play,” Jackson said. “Did my read, never saw him sneaking his way up the middle.”

The game was a huge one with first place in the East on the line between two teams battling for post-season positioning. The victory put the Alouettes (9-6) in the driver’s seat, leading Toronto by four points with three games left and owning the tie-breaker.

“I was proud of our team today and certainly our defence stepped up and played a very good football game,” said Montreal coach Marc Trestman. “It was a great team effort, probably as good as we’ve had this year. Games can unfold a lot of different ways, you don’t have to score 45 points to win a game sometimes. Sometimes you’ve just got

to keep sawing wood. And our guys did, they didn’t lose their focus. ” Toronto dropped to 7-8 with their fourth loss in five games.

“Certainly was an opportunity lost, like last week (a loss to Saskatchewan),” said Argos coach Scott Milanovich. “My mantra all season was to win the East. Keep their goals high.

That’s probably lost now.”

Finishing first in the division means a first-round playoff bye, then an East final played at home. The second-place finisher will host the East semifinal, with the winner of that game advancing to the conference final.

The Argos defence doubled key players, including Richardson, for most of the afternoon, and Trestman said it was a “chess match” trying to unlock receivers to give them single coverage. “(Anthony Calvillo) waited it out and J-Rich made a big play at a very important part of the game,” Trestman said. “It was good to see him get that ball, have a chance to make a contested catch and do something with it.”

Richardson said he didn’t allow the double coverages to get him frustrated.

“I came in here with my peaceful mind,” the slotback said. “I was at ease, I was going to let the game come to me. . . we knew it was going to be a matter of time when I was going to get single coverage and (the Argos) were going to blow one.”

Milanovich believed the Argos had Richardson contained.

“We had good coverage,” the coach said. “They just chucked it up there and he went and got it,” Calvillo, who’s now 12-2 in 13 straight starts against Toronto, was 16of-31 for 255 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

“Man, I’m just sitting here absorbing this,” the veteran quarterback said.

“I’m tired, but these young guys in this locker-room played with the backbone that we needed, it’s exciting. But we’re going to continue to need that as we move forward, but we’re going to continue to enjoy this.”

The Als also played a good chunk of the game without receiver Brandon London and then lost Eric Deslauriers with five minutes to go.

Stampeders capitalize on Joseph leads Eskimos turnovers to down Bombers over Roughriders

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Stampeders 32 Blue Bombers 21 WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers beat themselves Saturday, as interceptions and fumbles gave the Calgary Stampeders a 32-21 win and sole possession of second place in the CFL’s West Division.

“I’ve never been around a team that’s turned a ball over seven times and won a game,” said Winnipeg interim coach Tim Burke, whose team sunk to a league-worst 4-11 .

Calgary coach John Hufnagel said Winnipeg played well enough right up to the red zone after a disastrous first quarter when the Stampeders picked up 16 points, thanks largely to two key fumbles.

“Offensively, as much as we moved the ball in the first half, we didn’t in the second half, so the defence is out there a lot,” Hufnagel said after his team improved to 9-6. “They did a nice job of completing passes but when they got towards the red zone, we came up with huge interceptions.”

Winnipeg quarterback Joey Elliott threw four picks, three of them into the end zone on plays that could have turned the game.

“I’ve got to take full responsibility for those three mistakes,” said Elliott, making his second start since replacing Buck Pierce after he received a concussion Sept. 29.

Elliott’s last start was far more successful, an upset 27-22 win over the Montreal Alouettes last week that injected a little life into the Bombers’ faint playoff hopes.

Whether he will start again — with or without Pierce’s return — seemed doubtful Saturday. Burke pulled him late in the fourth in favour of Alex Brink, who threw a touchdown pass and for a few minutes made it look like a comeback was possible.

“In Joey’s defence, he hasn’t played a lot of football,” said Burke. “I’m sure he’s still learning and all that but I would have thought we could have got past at least some of those intercep-

tions in the red zone.”

One interception, intended for Clarence Denmark in the end zone in the third quarter, could have brought the Bombers within five. Another intended for Terrence Edwards in the fourth quarter could have done the same thing, after a scoreless third.

Elliott’s last interception, in the fourth quarter, was also in the end zone.

Burke said Demond Washington won’t be returning any more footballs for the Bombers, after fumbles that cost the team dearly. His first led to a touchdown.

It was one of two first-quarter touchdowns triggered by fumbles. The second ball was lost by running back Chad Simpson, who redeemed himself with two second-quarter touchdowns of his own.

Winnipeg’s time of possession was a miserly 1:34 going into the second quarter.

Calgary quarterback Kevin Glenn, who finished 21-of-29 passing for 286 yards, said the Stampeders’ gameplan of scoring early and building a cushion worked.

“We knew it was going to be a fight,” he said. “We knew they weren’t going to lay down and give it to us.”

Glenn played five seasons with the Bombers, ending in 2008.

Calgary had touchdowns from Jon Cornish, Nik Lewis and Marquay McDaniel. Rene Paredes kicked four field goals.

Rookie receiver Chris Matthews, who passed the 1,000-yard mark Saturday, had Winnipeg’s third touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The mood in the Bombers dressing room was predictably dour as players accounted for the loss and their part in it.

“In the first half we struggled a lot, myself included,” said Jovon Johnson, who played strong-side linebacker position rather than his customary position in the secondary. “We had to make adjustments at halftime because they came out doing things we hadn’t seen before.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS Eskimos 37 Roughriders 20 EDMONTON — The Edmonton Eskimos have gone from a team all but written off to one that controls its own destiny.

Kerry Joseph passed for three touchdowns Saturday as the Eskimos kept a possible playoff path through the CFL’s West Division open with a 37-20 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

It was the second win in a row for the Eskimos on the heels of a fivegame losing streak and improved their record to 7-8 to move one game back of the Roughriders (8-7) for third in the West.

Edmonton now also owns the season series between the two teams in the event of a tie.

“We’ve turned some things around,” Joseph said. “I think we have turned the corner, but we are not where we want to be yet. We still have an uphill battle. We have put ourselves in a good situation where we can control our destiny now.

We just have to continue on the positives from the last couple weeks and stay humble, hungry and focused. If we can play the way we played the last two weeks we can make some noise.”

Both teams are ahead of Hamilton for third in the East Division in the event of a playoff crossover game.

“We’re one more step closer to where we want to be and next week is a whole new season for us,” said Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed.

“We’re not hurting ourselves right now. We are playing smart football.

We’re aggressive and not afraid to take chances and that’s very important in this league and given

the situation that we find ourselves in.”

Saskatchewan, meanwhile, saw a three-game winning streak come to an end.

“We knew we were on a short week, but we can’t use that as an excuse,” said Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin.

“We came out to play a football game and they won it. We must move on. We’re still a winning team right now. Our focus is to get into the playoffs and the biggest disappointment is that we didn’t get into the playoffs today.”

There was a comedy of errors to start the contest. It began when Tristan Jackson fumbled a punt return that was picked up by a hardcharging Ryan King at the Saskatchewan 28.

However, on the next play, Eskimos receiver Cary Koch fumbled it right back and Saskatchewan’s Craig Butler ran it all the way back to the Edmonton 37-yard line.

That would lead to a two-yard pass from Darian Durant to Weston Dressler for his 11th TD catch of the season and a 7-0 Saskatchewan lead midway through the opening quarter.

ers’ territory once again with five minutes to play in the first as a bobbled snap led to a two-yard punt picked up by Simoni Lawrence at the Saskatchewan 22. The opportunity was quickly converted as Joseph found Fred Stamps on a deep corner route to make it 7-7.

The Eskimos took a three-point lead five minutes into the second on a 30-yard Grant Shaw field goal.

Edmonton immediately got the ball back as J.C. Sherritt picked off Durant and returned the ball to the Riders’ 40.

The turnover eventually paid off with a threeyard TD pass to Koch, who showed deft hands to reel in the ball to put Edmonton up 17-7 midway through the quarter.

Both teams added field goals to their totals before the end of the first half.

The Eskimos padded their lead two minutes into the third quarter on a nice-looking drive. One play after taking a handoff from Joseph and then passing back to his quarterback for a first down, running back Hugh Charles made a great move on the sideline to scamper 27 yards for a touchdown and a 27-10 Edmonton lead.

Queens within reach of first place RDC ATHLETICS

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF

Red Deer College Queen Teighan Ponto puts up a jumper over an Ambrose College player during a game at the Ramada Inns Royalty Classic, Saturday. The Queens won the exhibition game 78-27 and got their first win of the season.

The RDC Queens have their sights set on first place in the Alberta Colleges Women’s Soccer League’s South Division and they did what they had to during the weekend to be able to reach that goal.

The Queens beat the SAIT Trojans 1-0 Saturday and the Olds College Broncos 3-0 Sunday to go into the final two games of the regular season within reach of the first-place Medicine Hat Rattlers.

The RDC squads host Medicine Hat Saturday and Lethbridge Sunday.

The Queens, 6-0-2, will need to win both matches to take top spot and earn a bye in the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, the RDC Kings, 4-1-3, tied SAIT 2-2 and came from 2-0 down to defeat Olds 4-2, which moved them into second place, behind SAIT, 7-1-1.

Paula Dadensky scored her 11th goal of the season for the Queens against SAIT on her own rebound in the second half.

“It was a physically tough game with both teams losing players,” said Queens head coach Dave Colley, who lost midfield star Claire Wallace in the first half.

“That kind of reflected the desire by both teams,” said Colley. “But our girls were determined and once Paula gave us the lead we shut them down. It was a grinding game, not at all pretty, but a real solid effort.”

On Sunday, Kayla Keenan scored once and set up goals by Hailee Peter and Amber Regnier. Jesse Stewart recorded her seventh shutout of the season.

The Queens led 2-0 at the half, but Colley was forced to make some changes because of the size of the field.

“They have a small field and very bumpy so we had to go away from our usual style and play more direct and use the long pass and it worked well,” said Colley, who also used three substitutes in the second half.

Cori Van der Voort was player of the match against SAIT and Tatianna Aspillaga against Olds.

Cale Jacobs and Nolan Hamilton scored once each against SAIT, who tied the game in stoppage time in the second half.

“Overall we didn’t play that well and kind of gave it away,” said Kings head coach Steve Fullarton. “But it was also the first time we played on field turf and we struggled with that at times.”

The Kings fell behind Olds 2-0 at the half, before storming back to get two goals from Hamilton and one each from Jeremy Gopal and Logan Grenier.

“The first half was our worst half this season,” said Fullarton. “We struggled with the small field and we got

what we deserved. But we had a chat at the half and the guys dug deep and played with a lot of heart and desire in the second half.”

The Kings need at least a tie against Medicine Hat and Lethbridge to secure second place.

On Saturday, Olds beat Lakeland 1-0 in women’s play and lost 4-1 on the men’s side.

Queens 78 Ambrose 27 The basketball Queens finally hit the win column in their exhibition season as they handled the ACAL (Alberta Colleges Athletic League) Ambrose College squad of Calgary 78-27 as part of the Ramada Inns Royalty Classic at RDC Saturday.

“I was happy with our overall effort,” said Queens head coach Mike Woollard. “We were able to move the ball and get into our running game and it started on the defensive end. We played with intensity and put a lot of pressure on the ball.”

Miranda Honey and Melissa Woolley had 13 points each for the Queens, who open their ACAC schedule Oct. 26 at home against Grant MacEwan.

The final game on the men’s side of the tournament saw Lethbridge down Olds 77-65. The RDC Kings finished with a 3-0 record while Lethbridge was 2-1, Olds 1-2 and Canadian University College of Lacombe 0-3.

Team Alberta 5 Queens 1 The RDC Queens hockey team faced the toughest opposition they’ll see this season as they dropped a 5-1 decision to Team Alberta, who plays in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League, at the WinSport Arena Sunday.

Jade Petrie scored for RDC, who led 1-0 after the opening period and trailed 5-1 after 40 minutes.

“We got caught chasing the puck for a spell in the second period and they scored three times in a four-minute period,” explained Queens head coach Trevor Keeper. “But that was the best team we’ll face all season. They have a number of players who played in the Olympics, NCAA and university hockey in Canada. When they crank it up they move the puck better than any team we’ll see.

“As well they’re used to the Olympic sized ice surface and they used that to their advantage.”

The Queens got outstanding goaltending from Camille Trautman, who finished with 46 saves.

“She was getting wore down, but our backup (Caitlyn Janzen) is out with a concussion after a car accident, so Camille had to go the distance,” said Keeper.

The Queens open ACAC play Thursday when they host Grant MacEwan at 7 p.m. at the Arena. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

Canada needs a good result in Honduras NEEDS WIN OR DRAW TO ADVANCE TO NEXT ROUND

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

WORLD CUP QUALIFYING

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras — Canada’s World Cup qualifying fate will be decided in a crumbling stadium surrounded by barbed wire.

Built in 1997 for the Central American Olympic Games, Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano can accommodate some 40,000, with many of those standing or sitting on bench-like steps in the hot sun.

A win or tie will move Canada (3-1-1) into the final round of qualifying in the CONCACAF region, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean.

Honduras (2-1-2) needs to win to keep going.

Canada has not reached the final qualifying round since 1997, when it finished last with a 1-6-3 record.

Tuesday’s venue is old-school, complete with what could serve as a moat around the fenced pitch which is further distanced from fans in the stands by a running track.

Canada was due to arrive in Honduras’ second largest city by charter early Sunday afternoon, but their arrival was pushed back after a delayed takeoff in Toronto.

Armed police were awaiting their arrival. Police with machine guns have been stationed outside the team’s well-appointed hotel.

Players will no doubt enjoy the pool and perhaps the local scenery. On Saturday night, the bar drew a steady stream of beautiful people.

The heels were high, as were the skirts.

The security is no mere window dressing for a country whose name means “Deep Waters” — a label applied by Christopher Columbus after landing in a deep bay off the country’s northern coast.

A 2011 study by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime titled “Global Study on Homicide” reported that Honduras had the highest per capita murder rate in the world (82.1 per 100,000).

In comparison, Canada’s rate was 1.8.

The Honduran homicide rate has more than doubled between 2005 and 2010.

The Washington Post, quoting Mexico’s non-profit Civic Council on Public Security and Criminal Justice, reported in January that San Pedro Sula was the world’s most violent place in 2011, surpassing the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez.

San Pedro Sula had 159 homicides per 100,000 residents last year, followed by Ciudad Juarez at 148 killings per 100,000.

In downtown San Pedro Sula on Sunday, however, locals enjoyed yet a sunny day in the bustling square

Sanguin wins final Grand Prix EDMONTON — Former RDC crosscountry star Jodi Sanguin showed she’s still one of the premier runners in the province by capturing the women’s title in the fifth and final Grand Prix race of the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference season Saturday.

Sanguin, who is a coach with the RDC team and competing as an open runner, finished the five-kilometre run in 18 minutes 44 seconds, 10 seconds ahead of Lisa Mensink, also an open runner.

Marriya Jenkins of Concordia University College of Alberta led the college runners and was third overall at 20:06 on the hilly and muddy course.

Catherine Alcorn led the RDC contingent, finishing 28th overall at 14th among college runners in a time of 24:15. Anna Duda was 47th and 30th at 26:07.

Other RDC runners were Laura Friesen (52nd, 35th, 26:24), Jenna Ronnie (56th, 39th, 26:35), Kaylee deBoon (71st, 52nd, 28:10), Nicole Wagner (86th, 64th, 31:52) and Rinske Rupt (87th, 65th, 32:14).

Grant MacEwan won the team title with 38 points with Lethbridge at 52.

RDC was seventh with 113 points,.

Meanwhile on the men’s side, Devin

Woodland once again led RDC, finishing third overall and second among college runners in a time of 28:25 in the 8-km race.

Open runner Jevin Monds was first at 27:46 with Solomon Ngetich of Lethbridge College Jodi Sanguin second at 28:16.

Woodland’s performance was his best effort against Ngetich of Kenya in four races and left him in good spot heading into the ACAC finals, Oct. 27 at Camrose.

Kieran McDonald of RDC was seventh overall and fourth on the college side with a time of 28:54.

Kyle Nielsen of RDC was 67th and 40th among college runners at 39:03 while Tim Haasdyk was 70th and 43rd at 39:31.

Lethbridge won the team title with 34 points, eight ahead of SAIT. RDC was fifth with 84 points.

McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and Popeyes were familiar signs, alongside the more colourful Pollo Campero.

Street vendors hawked every kind of mobile phone.

A local restaurant’s sign advertised “Sport Meat.”

Street vendor Moses Bunce, a wad of cash in his hand, was looking to sell tickets for Tuesday’s game for 150 Honduras lempiras — about C$7.50.

The city is an exercise in extremes.

Away from downtown, a busy mall offered North American standards from Tommy Hilfiger to Radio Shack. Getting there by cab involved passing a dead dog wrapped in canvas alongside the road.

Nestled in scenic green hills, San Pedro Sula is an adventure in driving. At night, pedestrians pop out of nowhere.

Traffic signs seem to be tolerated, if not adhered to strictly, although there is a certain courtesy between drivers. Licence plates seem optional.

The city, located in the northwest of the country near the Guatemala border, is considered Honduras’ industrial capital.

San Pedro Sulfa is home to two Honduran league club teams — Real Espana and C.D. Marathon — neither of which regularly plays in the stadium that will host Tuesday’s game.

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF Residents hope a northside community centre will be welcoming to a wide range of recreational, sport and cultural users, says a City of Red Deer official.

Pauline Mousseau, neighbourhood community development co-ordinator, said people want to make sure the Northside Regional Community Centre is inviting to all.

“It truly has to be embraced by the community,” said Mousseau.

The city has been looking into developing a northside community centre for several years as a way to provide more opportunities for residents to come together.

One of the few community centres on the city’s north side is next to Normandeau School. It is basically a skate shelter and where the Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer and District holds programs.

This new community complex would be a lot bigger, at about 30,000 square feet.

It would be built on city-owned land on the corner of Taylor Drive and 77th Street.

This site is where a skateboard park is being constructed and expected to be done

by May. This land is also next to Glendale School.

The city is talking with Red Deer Public School District about possibly connecting it with the school, Mousseau added.

Focus groups are excited the centre will have multi purposes, she added.

“It will be adequate for different needs — a place to hangout but also a gathering place for sports, recreation and cultural events.”

Mousseau said a group, Friends of the Northside Regional Community Centre, is being formed so the community can get enthused about the project even before it gets built. The city hopes to get construction going in 2014.

There’s still a lot of work yet to do before that. Public consultation is nearing completion.

Last week, the city hosted a community

chili dinner so that residents could give their own ideas on what they wanted this community centre to be.

“This will help refine a concept plan for the building,” said Mousseau.

That concept plan will come forward to the public next spring. Next year as well, the city will do further design planning as well as traffic impact studies.

“Another key point is how it will be operated,” said Mousseau. “The city will very likely have a presence, but the opportunity is there for the community to be involved as well.”

The city will look for corporate dollars, community fundraising and government grants. Early estimates have pegged construction costs at $3 million.

The city approved $131,000 towards planning in 2011, then $193,000 in 2012, which included some work to enhance the recreational site at Normandeau. City council has so far earmarked $1.273 million in 2014, said Mousseau. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

RIMBEY AUTHOR

Writing came naturally

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF RIMBEY — Impressing young urbanites with the impending loss of their natural environment is a task that seems almost too tall, says a Rimbey author whose work is focused on the natural world.

“I don’t know any way to get through to people that we’re losing our natural environment,” says Fred Schutz, 92, as he turns the pages of one of the many photo albums that surround the chair beside his front window.

The number of people populating the planet has grown too large and those people have become too exploitative for the planet to sustain, says Schutz, who has watched the local population shift 180 degrees from the days when most Albertans lived in the country.

Author of roughly 3,000 nature and history columns published in the Rimbey Record weekly newspaper and its successor, the Rimbey Review, Schutz says he has loved the natural world for as long as he can remember.

It was a love steeped in family tradition, nurtured by Sunday afternoon walks on the family’s Bluffton-area homestead with his parents, his brother and his sister.

When his younger brother went to war, Schutz was asked to stay home and work the farm.

He wrote down his observations and he captured images on film, starting with a little Kodak Brownie that used 12-exposure rolls of black and white film and progressing in 1952 to his first 35mm camera.

A couple of years after that, Schutz decided to approach the Rimbey Record about having his work published.

He armed himself with five or six columns and walked to the news desk, manned that day by assistant editor Jack Parry.

“I was ready to bolt for the door. I wasn’t at ease at all,” says Schutz.

Parry skimmed through the pages pre-

Historian and naturalist Fred Schutz keeps his favourite books, photo albums and other mementoes close at hand in the livingroom of his home in Rimbey. sented to him and told Schutz he’d be happy to publish the stories.

Over the next 45 years, Schutz’s West of the Blindman columns became a regular feature in the local paper, sharing his stories about things other people were passing by.

The Record eventually started paying for the columns, at $10 each.

Schutz chose to keep it simple and straight forward, describing the daily lives of beavers and forests, grizzly bears and chickadees.

He wrote about the people and the places around him and even included a couple of stories about a household necessity most would rather leave alone.

In homes that had no plumbing, liquid waste was dumped into a wooden bucket or a metal pail.

Sometimes, there were two: One for liquids that could be fed to the hogs and the other for those that could not.

“The slop pail was certainly one of the least attractive aspects of country living in the days before plumbing, yet it endured in many homes through most of the twentieth century,” says his first treatise on the lowliest of kitchen receptacles.

The second story describes his loss of appetite upon seeing a woman hang a dishcloth on the edge of her slop pail.

People used a lot less water when it had to be carried in from the pump and then

carried back out and dumped, said Schutz.

Throughout his life, Schutz has encouraged people to make themselves aware of the natural world around them, to wonder at its beauty and to enjoy its moments of humour, such as the antics of bumblebees that became “pickled” after sipping fermented thistle nectar or a chickadee that was in similar straits after taking is meal from the well a sapsucker had drilled in a tree.

“Most of his flying was upside down, and when he said ‘chicka-dee-dee-dee’ it came out as ‘shicka-ree-ree-ree.’”

Schutz has mentored others, including Sylvan Lake naturalist, writer and photographer Myrna Pearman, manager of the Ellis Bird Farm at Prentiss and a fellow winner of the Owl Award, presented annually by the Red Deer River Naturalists to recognize members for their achievements.

Pearman acknowledges Schutz’s encouragement as a prime factor in her choice to pursue her interest in wildlife as a scientist as well as a writer and photographer.

She helped compile a small collection of his work into a book, West of the Blindman, jointly published in 2003 by the Central Alberta Historical Society and the Central Alberta Regional Museums Network.

Pearman is now organizing more of Schutz’s material to create a second book. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

Genetic snafu leaves too much iron in man’s blood BLACK HUMOUR IS HELPFUL DEALING WITH MYSTERY DISEASE HERIDITARY HEMACHROMATOSIS

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Some days, he feels a bit like the Tin Man — except where the Tin Man needs a pint of oil to pick himself up and carry on, Innisfail social worker Paul Jacques needs to lose a pint of blood.

A little black humour is helpful for people dealing with a mystery disease that saps energy and generates pain, says Jacques, who chuckles at the potential for attracting vampires as Halloween draws near.

For him, blood tests performed about 10 years ago, after he was accidentally poked with a dirty needle unveiled the truth behind a myriad of symptoms that had gone unexplained.

Employed with the Central Alberta Aids Network, Jacques was poked while discarding needles from a person known to be infected with Hepatitis C and suspected of having HIV. A blood panel unveiled the hidden truth: Jacques’s blood contained four times the normal volume of iron, indicating a

genetic disease known as heriditary hemachromatosis (HHC), in which the body cannot metabolise iron from food.

Over time, the accumulation of iron wreaks havoc throughout the system, causing mood swings, depression, fatique, joint pain, muscle pain, abdominal pain, enlargement of the liver and jaundiced skin.

Genetic testing confirmed that the symptoms Jacques was suffering were the result of his genetic makeup: He is a homozygous carrier, meaning he has two copies of the recessive gene in his genetic code and that both of his and his wife, Tara’s children will have one copy in theirs.

While the two girls have not yet been tested for the disorder, Tara has been cleared, so while both can still be carriers, they are less likely to develop symptoms.

Jacques said on Sunday that he was grateful to be confirmed free of the suspect diseases while learning that so much of the trouble he had been experiencing can be traced to a manageable genetic disorder.

Newly diagnosed patients go

through a period of de-ironizing, in which blood is drawn at regular intervals to deplete the amount of iron that has accumulated in their bodies.

Once the inititial phase is complete, individuals are put on a program of periodic bloodletting to help keep their iron levels from rising.

That’s been really good news for blood banks, because all of that extra blood can be donated for other users.The high level of “ferritin” in the purged blood is a non-issue for recipients because of the processes that are used to prepare the blood after it has been collected, said Jacques.

Most astounding to him and Tara is the high number of people in the population who could have the disease without ever being diagnosed, especially those whose ancestries trace to the United Kingdom and Northern Europe.

The incidence of HHC among the entire population is about one in 300 people, said Jacques.

However, it is eight times as high among Irish, Scots and Northern Europeans, he said.

Also of note, women can have

the disease for years before symptoms start to appear.

Blood purged during a woman’s monthly cycle is often sufficient to control the buildup until she reaches the age at which the cycle ends. At that point, it may be too late to reverse damage that may already have occurred during the woman’s reproductive years, said Tara.

She encourages all people who have unexplained symptoms or who fall into the more susceptible group to ask their doctors for the blood test that will reveal the levels of ferritin in their blood. Genetic testing would then confirm whether HHC is the reason those levels are elevated, she said.

Treatment should normally begin when a person is in their late teens or early adulthood.

Now that Jacques has his symptoms under control, he and Tara are developing a Central Alberta chapter of the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society.

Fed’s Bernanke defends moves to aid economy WASHINGTON — Chairman Ben Bernanke is rejecting arguments that the Federal Reserve’s bold moves to bolster U.S. job growth could have unwanted consequences in emerging market countries. In a speech Sunday, Bernanke disagrees with criticism that the Fed’s efforts to drive U.S. interest rates lower could result in higher inflation in emerging markets or trigger a destabilizing flood of investment money into those nations. In fact, he says, the efforts of the Fed and the central banks of other industrial countries should benefit the global economy by boosting growth and providing stronger markets for the goods of developing nations.

Bernanke’s speech in Tokyo was at a conference sponsored by the Bank of Japan and the International Monetary Fund.

Merkel says Greece making progress BERLIN — Germany’s chancellor says she thinks debtladen Greece is making progress in implementing reforms and austerity measures “step by step.”

Angela Merkel said in her weekly video podcast published Saturday that Greece’s progress is slower than hoped “but on this matter we should always give Greece another chance.”

Merkel’s comments appeared to signal a further shift in Germany’s position toward showing more patience even though Athens has fallen behind on the ambitious reforms and cuts it must implement in return for bailout loans. The subtle shift comes amid calls from the International Monetary Fund to give Greece two more years to meet the agreed targets.

China says currency near equilibrium TOKYO — China’s currency has reached its equilibrium rate and its value is mainly determined by the market, rather than intervention, Beijing’s central bank chief said Sunday, signalling there is little likelihood of major movement in the yuan’s value in the near future. In a speech delivered by one of his deputies, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People’s Bank of China, also warned that too much monetary easing by major economies puts inflationary pressure on China at a time when it is striving to boost growth while keeping prices under control. Zhou’s remarks came as the issue of China’s exchange rate against the U.S. dollar resurfaced in the U.S. presidential race, with Republican nominee Mitt Romney accusing President Barack Obama of ducking an important decision on whether Beijing is manipulating its currency to gain a trade advantage.

Citizen Enbridge PIPELINE PLANS DRAW FEW BUT DEDICATED MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THE CANADIAN PRESS PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — Chris Peter is not a lawyer, an oil and gas executive or a professional environmentalist.

He’s not on anyone’s payroll and when he appeared last week before the joint review panel weighing the future of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, he was not waving the flag of any particular camp or cause.

Yet Peter has spent hundreds of hours poring over thousands of documents in order to try to understand what it is that Calgary-based Enbridge wants to build across northern British Columbia.

“You’re working inside the process to try and make the joint review panel make an informed decision,” said Peter, 62, after spending several hours over two days questioning experts employed by Enbridge about the project.

“Lots of people are protesting in the streets but the joint review panel is not allowed to pay any attention to them. So this is the appropriate avenue for endeavouring

to influence their decision.”

For several hours over two days, the founder of C.J. Peter Associates Engineering fired questions at a panel of nine experts surrounded by a dozen or more lawyers and support staff. From a row of seats a few feet away, the company president looked on.

Aside from a handful of members of the public on the first day, the public gallery has been filled for the most part by the entourage of industry and its full-time opponents.

Above them, a sign hangs from the roof, a reminder that the Columbus Community Centre on the outskirts of Prince George, B.C., is more accustomed to toasting the bride and groom than hosting testimony under oath.

Peter didn’t set out to let the proposed 1,100-kilometre twin pipelines consume his life.

The energy conservation engineer, who has dedicated his career otherwise to more efficient use of fossil fuels in building applications, is opposed to the pipeline.

The 30 to 60 million

megatons per year of greenhouse gases that will result from the oil that will course through the line runs counter to everything he and his associates have tried to accomplish, he said.

“And the fact that was coming through my back yard was something I could not just take lying down, so at some considerable personal expense, in terms of sacrifice of time and money, we’ve gotten involved in this,” he said.

A lot of local people want to get involved, but they lack the tools, he said.

“Because I’m a trained engineer, I have some tools in my toolbox to address some of the issues regarding the design and operation of the pipeline.”

There’s also a long family tradition of working with aboriginal peoples all over the world.

His grandfather was the chief medical officer at the mines in Johannesberg for 40 years and the stories that made their way to Peter’s ears have clearly affected his outlook.

He speaks passionately of the black South

He travelled to Edmonton to take part in final hearings on the economics of the proposed project, and he’s taken time off to make an oral presentation to the panel and will take more time

off to make his final argument.

And all of that has come out of his own pocket.

“It’s a real juggling act just to keep your own business afloat while doing this,” Peter said.

EU drug demands would cost Canadians up to $2B a year

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Confidential federal research on free-trade talks with Europe shows that giving the European Union just one part of what it wants on drug patents would cost Canadians up to $2 billion a year.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade has always insisted it’s a “myth” that Canada-EU free trade would increase health costs.

But in September, officials at Industry Canada and Health Canada combined forces to examine the cost of the European demand to implement a patent-term restoration system, The Canadian Press has learned.

They found that based on past history of approval patterns, the EU proposal would add an average life of 2.66 years to a typical drug patent, and increase Canadian drug costs by between $795 million and $1.95 billion annually.

The range of projections is large because government analysts have no way of knowing exactly what kind of

drugs will be in line for patents in the future, and had to make some broad assumptions.

The analysis also looked at the cost of a compromise that would see patent terms extended to cover the time between application for regulatory approval and market authorization.

Such an option would likely add an average of 1.23 years to patents, and cost Canadians between $367 million and $903 million annually.

A third option would just extend patents to cover off any delays beyond Health Canada’s benchmark guidelines. It would extend patent terms by 18 days on average, and cost Canadians between $14.7 million and $36.2 million a year.

Generally, the extra costs stem from patients having to rely on brand-name drugs longer than they do now, rather than turn to cheaper generic drugs that would be available sooner if patents were not extended.

TORONTO — It could be hard to get markets energized this week as traders focus on a run of mainly secondary economic data amid minimal expectations for a slew of third quarter earnings reports.

The TSX ended last week down 217 points or 1.74 per cent after buying sentiment took a hit from a gloomy forecast from the International Monetary Fund.

The IMF reduced its growth forecast for the world economy to 3.3 per cent this year from its previous estimate of 3.5 per cent.

Expectations for next year were also pared back as the IMF forecast for growth in 2013 is 3.6 per cent, down from 3.9 per cent three months ago and 4.1 per cent in April.

The TSX is still up about 7.5 per cent from the market lows of early June, largely because of a commitment from European Central Bank president Mario Draghi to do whatever it takes to preserve the monetary union and another round of quantitative easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

“You’ve already had a pretty good rally,” said Colin Cieszynski, market analyst at CMC Markets Canada.

“You may see in the coming months there’s not enough to take markets much further but there’s not enough to knock them down either and you end up in this range bound trading for markets.”

U.S. markets also ended last week lower with

indexes failing to get a bounce from a strong earnings report from banking giant JPMorgan Chase, which beat expectations for earnings and revenue.

But expectations for this earnings season are muted with analysts expecting a 2.1 per cent year-over-year decline in S&P 500 operating earnings, which would be the first year-over-year drop since the recession that followed the 2008 financial collapse.

“Expectations have come down and the markets have gone up so it’s looking like a lot of (optimism) has probably already been priced into the market,” said Cieszynski.

“So the actual reaction becomes fairly muted. You really need a real positive surprise at this point to move the needle very far.”

The quarterly reporting season in the U.S. kicks into high gear this week with investors looking to results from Citigroup on Monday, chip giant Intel and beverage giant Coca Cola Tuesday, Bank of America and American Express Wednesday, Advanced Micro Devices Thursday while McDonald’s is among those handing in numbers on Friday.

The quarterly reporting season in Canada tends to lag the U.S. by a couple of weeks.

On the economic front, markets will open Monday morning digesting weekend reports from China on the latest readings on the country’s trade balance along with consumer and producer prices.

Some considerations about downsizing

TALBOT BOGGS

MONEYWISE

As Canada’s baby boom generation moves into retirement, downsizing is becoming increasingly common in word and practice.

Over the next few years, many of the country’s nine million boomers will be deciding whether to stay in their homes or transition to a smaller residence or relocate entirely to a new city, town or even to a new country.

Although downsizing may seem like a straightforward move, there

are several factors to consider before actually doing it.

“Even if downsizing may be years away, it’s important not only to think about all of the factors that can affect your decision, but to maintain an open dialogue with your loved ones,” said Amy D’Aprix, a life transition expert with BMO Bank of Montreal.

“Being proactive will help you remain in control rather than having to deal with an unexpect-

ed move when you’re not prepared.”

A recent BMO Retirement Institute report found that an overwhelming majority of Canadians 45 and older plan to stay in Canada when they retire.

The main motivators for staying in the country were weather, finances and family considerations, in that order.

Please see DOWNSIZING on Page C4

STORIES FROM PAGE C3

DOWNSIZING: Health factor One of the first considerations in deciding whether to downsize or move is your health.

“Although health matters are hard to predict, it’s important to think about what you might need to do if your health status changes in the upcoming years,” D’Aprix said. “Could you retrofit your current home?

Where might you consider living if your current home no longer makes sense? And would you feel comfortable receiving professional assistance in your home?”

Selling the family home could result in a financial windfall that could be used to finance the purchase of more modest accommodations or be invested for returns to supplement existing retirement income.

“Emotional attachment aside, a house is more than a financial asset,” said Jack Courtney, assistance vice-president, advanced financial planning, with Investors Group. “It can be an income generator paving the way to retirement in many ways.”

Options could include renting out rooms or space that you no longer need, selling your home and downsizing to a smaller one or a condominium or townhouse, or taking out a reverse mortgage, which allows you to obtain cash and stay in your home until you die or decide to sell.

You may want to move to where your children are, but it’s important to remember that they might move.

So ask yourself whether you’d want to uproot yourself every few years.

A smaller home is generally easier to maintain with lower costs and taxes, but the capital you put into it might be more profitable if it was put into investments that increase your income flow.

“Condos are appealing for those with health concerns because they are low in maintenance and easier to navigate, and travel buffs might opt for rental accommodation with no worries about home security when leaving town,” Courtney noted.

Laura Parsons, a mortgage expert with BMO, said downsizers need to consider many financial factors, including costs related to property maintenance and the possibility of renovations to adapt to changes in lifestyle.

“Many boomers heading into their retirement years may be looking for the lock-and-leave lifestyle,” Parson said. “But with convenience comes significant cost considerations, including maintenance, general upkeep and repairs –— important factors for preparing yourself financially.”

BMO suggests you make a list of the items you consider to be important in your current and future lifestyle and which of those you want to maintain in your retirement. Assess where your social network is and whether your move will affect this. Then examine your financial situation and the costs involved in staying put or moving; think about possible next steps and how they will affect you; keep the lines of communication open with loved ones and determine how important it is that the home remains in the family.

“Finances are necessarily the determining factor in making this important decision,” said Courtney.

“Lifestyle considerations are equally important. Examining your goals and the range of possibilities will aid the decision-making process.”

PIPELINE: Personal expense “My wife is subsidizing it to the extent that she’s working full time and I am keeping my business barely afloat.”

The focus of his questions for the Enbridge experts was the steel that will be used to build the pipeline, and the current plans to use what is called a Category 1 steel, rather than a Category 2. Peter fears the Category 1 steel will be more susceptible to fractures during construction, when it may be laying on the ground in cold northern temperatures.

Enbridge has practising engineers “who are trying to do their very best to make it a safe project,” he told reporters after wrapping up his questioning, but he’s not convinced. “It could fracture,” Peter said.

He’s disappointed that some of the information he sought was allowed to be redacted — blacked out — by the company for competitive reasons, but overall he was pleased.

“I’m incredibly impressed by the fairness of the process and quite proud to be a Canadian, in a country where we can address such a complex and divisive issue in such a civilized manner.”

Then he had to run. He has seven construction projects underway, and several overdue invoices to send out.

Hearings continue this week in Prince George.

DRUGS: No response The costs would have to be covered by provincial drug plans, employee insurance plans and individuals who buy drugs.

Ottawa has not yet formally responded to the EU demands on drug patents or announced its position on intellectual property. The EU and its many large brand-name drug producers say Canada’s patent regime is too lax and not up to global standards.

Negotiations on the topic are kicking into high gear this week in Brussels, but given the controversial nature of the talks, negotiators are expected to leave any final decision-making on drug patents to ministers later this fall.

Adam Taylor, a spokesman for Trade Minister Ed Fast, would not comment directly on the bureaucrats’ number-crunching.

“Our government has always sought to strike a balance between promoting innovation and job creation and ensuring that Canadians continue to have access to the affordable drugs they need,” Taylor said in an email, reiterating the government’s standard message on the drug patent regime.

“Our government will only sign an agreement if it is in the best interests of Canadians.”

Still, the fact that federal officials are costing out options for compromise suggests strongly that Ottawa is considering a move — despite vociferous opposition from many provincial governments, the generic drug industry and some health-care advocates.

The Canadian generic drug industry has financed its own research that indicates the EU proposals would cost Canadians about $3 billion a year.

“These specific EU proposals are nothing more than an attempt at a cash grab on the backs of hardworking Canadians,” Jim Keon, president of the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association, said recently.

“Extending market monopolies for brand-name drugs will not reduce trade barriers. It will, however, increase revenues for European-based drug companies at the expense of Canada’s health-care system. It will also increase trade barriers for Canadian generic pharmaceutical manufacturers.”

Generic drugs typically cost less than half the price of their brand-name equivalents.

Keon’s arguments have the ear of several provinces wrestling with rising health-care costs. They have written the federal government demanding compensation if the trade deal drives up drug costs.

Several thousand people noisily banging pots and pans are marching down Madrid’s main north-to-south boulevard protesting the government’s austerity measures. With unemployment nearing 25 percent, Spain has introduced biting austerity measures as well as financial and labor reforms in a desperate bid to lower its deficit and assuage investors’ misgivings.

Big potential seen for Canada’s aerospace industry in India THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Canada’s aerospace sector can create jobs at home by taking advantage of India’s modernization and recent moves to liberalize its foreign ownership restrictions, says the head of the CanadaIndia Business Council.

The world’s most populated democracy has been growing in the shadows of fellow Asian giant China and other regional powers. But with India investing billions of dollars a year in infrastructure, the country is expected to jump to become a top five aerospace country by 2020.

“I think there is a real opportunity for us,” council president Rana Sarkar said in an interview from Toronto.

“They’re not going to go with one supplier, they’re going to go with a syndicate of suppliers and it’s for us to be in that mix is an important thing.”

Canada’s aerospace and space sectors generate annual revenues of over $22 billion and employ about 80,000 Canadians in more than 400 firms across the country.

Companies such as Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) and CAE Inc. (TSX:CAE), along with engineering and construction firms are already pushing to take advantage of the growing demand for new aircraft, pilot training and airport construction.

But more potential remains untapped.

“In virtually every sector in the aviation business, this is sort of like the 1950s in North America. You’re starting to see just an arithmetic growth,” he said.

The opportunity could

total $1 trillion. And even though Canada’s share will be small, it’s still significant compared to where Canada’s sector has been historically, Sarkar said.

Canadian exports to India increased by 29 per cent last year to nearly $2.6 billion, with aircraft and spacecraft being the fourth-largest category accounting for almost nine per cent of total exports. Overall bilateral trade totalled $5.1 billion but is targeted to reach $15 billion by 2015.

Much of India’s potential comes from the massive airport construction underway that could upgrade 35 facilities and add 10 new airports in smaller cities. The number of airline passengers is expected to quadruple to 160 million per year by 2020.

But India also has great demand for soft infrastructure such as training services, air traffic control and maintenance, as well as education.

That’s where Canada can use its strengths, particularly in the country’s largest aero cluster in Montreal, he said.

“We have an opportunity to help India with what they would consider a crisis need right now.”

The head of the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada said the future competitiveness

of the Canadian industry is dependent on its ability to maintain and grow its market share in both current and emerging markets.

“As India continues to grow and expand its infrastructure and air travel capacity, Canadian interest in pursuing market and investment opportunities there will only increase,” said Jim Quick.

“Not only does India represent a tremendous opportunity from a market development perspective, but it is also a very valuable partner for the execution of R&D activities which complement strong core Canadian capabilities in that respect.”

The Indian government’s recent move to increase the foreign investment threshold to 49 per cent could strengthen Indian airlines by making it easier for them to forge alliances and allowing them to join strong outside networks.

Still, it has retained a strong offset policy that requires foreign companies to make significant investments by partnering with local firms in exchange for selling into the country.

Bombardier said it is looking at all kinds of avenues to take advantage of the huge opportunities that await in India.

“It’s too early to say whether it’s about manu-

facturing products there but ... we would not rule out looking into any of these regions and what kind of business relationships beyond selling we would be looking at,” Ben Boehm, vice-president of international business, said in an interview from Russia.

Much like China, the expansion of airline services in India presents huge sales opportunities for both commercial and business aircraft.

Bombardier forecasts 1,345 business jet deliveries over the next 20 years and that the AsiaPacific region (including China) will take delivery of about 4,000 commercial aircraft with 20 to 149 seats.

It has about 40 business jets operating in the country. Its largest commercial plane customer Spicejet flies seven Q400s but has ordered 15 turboprops and has options for an additional 15. Air India Regional operates four CRJ700 regional jets.

So far, the Montrealbased manufacturer has yet to win an Indian order for the CSeries. Boehm said the plane could allow non-stop connections between smaller airports and destinations in Southeast Asia and the Middle East because it’s the only plane in the 100- to 150-seat category capable of travelling 3,000 nautical miles.

1,000 Canadians with U.S. accounts could be affected by missing data

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A TD Bank spokeswoman says about 1,000 Canadians with U.S. accounts could be affected after some data tapes containing personal information were misplaced.

Maria Saros Leung says letters will be sent to those customers by next Friday.

But she says in an email that the bank is not classifying the incident as a breach since there’s no evidence of criminal activity.

TD Bank has confirmed that unencrypted backup data tapes were misplaced during transport in March and said it has started notifying about 260,000 customers from Maine to Florida.

The U.S.-based subsidiary says in a statement it has no evidence the data on the tapes is being used for any inappropriate purpose and is calling it an “isolated incident.”

It says an internal investigation has been launched and the incident reported to law enforcement.

The missing tapes contained personal information including account information and Social Security numbers, TD spokeswoman Rebecca Acevedo told The Associated Press on Friday.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — With Canada’s housing market showing signs of cooling, prospective buyers need to stop looking for their “dream home” and be practical, says celebrity contractor Mike Holmes.

“We need to buy with a solid mind, meaning, is the area smart to buy in?” the construction and renovation expert said in a recent phone interview to promote his new series, Holmes Makes It Right, debuting Tuesday (at 7pm) on HGTV Canada.

“What is the area? Does it contain asbestos, does it have termites in the area? We can find all this out before we look but we’re not doing that little bit of homework that is so necessary, even trying to find the right home inspector before we buy,” he added.

“When it comes to your home, one thing that’s really clear: this is about the most money you’re ever going to spend in your life — don’t you want to spend your money right? Buy with a proper conscience of what you need to buy and not of what you think you want.”

In Holmes Makes It Right, the beloved, brawny Toronto native does what he did in his previous series, Holmes on Homes and Holmes Inspection: he comes to the rescue of distraught homeowners suffering from contracting work gone wrong.

Only this time, he’s also taking on larger projects, including the redesign

and build of an arson-destroyed High Park playground in Toronto, and the construction of an accessible outdoor deck and dining area for a paralyzed teacher.

“The storyline in Holmes Makes It Right is so much bigger and I’m the type of guy, I can’t turn a blind eye to something,” said Holmes, who is still in touch with many of his clients from past episodes and often gets thank-you presents and cards from them.

“So if I actually walk in the house and I see a lot more wrong with it, I’m my own worst enemy because then I’ll say, ‘We need to look into this, we need to look into this,’ and before we know it, from what is scheduled to be a three-week job turns into six months of construction and a half a million dollars later.”

Holmes said when he first agreed to be on television over 10 years ago, he vowed it would just be for two years because he’s too busy.

“And Hotel California stepped in where you won’t let me go,” he said with a laugh, noting that out of the 100,000 emails he gets from viewers a year, “probably 60,000 of them are begging for help and are in real turmoil.”

“That I can’t help everyone is the hardest thing that I face. I wish I could.

A lot of these people may go bankrupt, lose their home ... (go through) divorce — I call it divorce dust. But I’m doing what I can and I’m trying to teach so they don’t fall in this trap.”

While Holmes may hear from viewers often, that’s not the case when it

Mike Holmes: With Canada’s housing market showing signs of cooling, prospective buyers need to stop looking for their “dream home” and be practical, says celebrity contractor Holmes. comes to the contractors whose shoddy work led to the disasters he sees in homes.

“Out of almost 200 shows that I’ve finished by this date, there’s only two contractors that I’ve heard from,” he said. “They put the tail between their legs and sort of run. It’s a shame but it’s expected.

“They realize they were wrong and I can only hope that the majority learn from what they saw on television.”

Holmes figures his services are so in demand because of “an epidemic” of poor construction.

“We’re building wrong in the first place,” he said. “We’re building with

minimum code and not even trying to push above that or at least educate as so why you should.”

Holmes often hears about minimum-code problems from condo dwellers who tell him they can hear — and smell — their neighbours.

“STC means Sound Transmission Class and that’s around 50 when it comes to a condo,” he said.

“The truth is, we knew the sound transmission class of 50, you can hear your neighbour and more than likely you’ll smell them too. Don’t you think you’d want them to up it a bit, shouldn’t the condo guys be upping it? I would, and brag about it.”

Canuck ‘Big Brother’ contenders tackle auditions Turns out Canada has a healthy share of reality show schemers and dreamers.

The casting call for Big Brother Canada drew its biggest turnout Sunday when the show made its final audition stop in Toronto.

Reality show veteran Mike (Boogie) Malin was on hand to help choose the wackiest contenders for Canada’s firstever edition of the voyeuristic global smash.

“You’ve got to know your role — if you’re the nerd be the nerd, if you’re the party guy be the party guy,” advised Malin, a Big Brother veteran from Season 2 who won the all-star Season 7 and also competed in Season 14.

“If people are going to be skittish or a little shy, you’re never going to get on the show. I like it when people really put their personalities out there.”

Hundreds of wannabe players filled a cavernous hotel ballroom that had been converted into a waiting room.

They included Kristy Gorny, a 35-year-old single mom from Oshawa, Ont. who said her longtime love for other elimination-style reality shows including Survivor and The Amazing Race would give her an edge.

She knew exactly how she’d play the game if chosen to be on Big Brother Canada — where 14 people will be made to live together in a camerarigged house cut off from all contact with the outside world.

“I’m assuming most houseguests will think that I would be more like the mom of the (house) but really I’m going to be the competitive gamer that’ll probably stab you in the back,” said Gorny, who arrived just before 8 a.m. and expected to wait several hours to see the judges.

Stage performer and artist Patrick Brant warmed up for his audition by treating other hopefuls to an impromptu dance routine, jumping up from his chair to bounce along to Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit Call Me Maybe.

The 25-year-old exhibitionist from Kingston, Ont. said he had what it takes to make it onto the show.

“I think it’s my attitude, (my) original style,” said Brant, who sported hot

pink bangs, matching pink eye liner and black lipstick.

“I have a little bit of a savoir faire that I could bring to the show. And let’s be honest, the show could always use a little bit more attitude.”

Executive producer John Brunton said he expected to audition well over 1,500 people in Toronto alone. The tour has also visited Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax and Montreal.

“We’ve been blown away by the turnout,” said Brunton, who helmed similar auditions for Canadian Idol and Canada’s Got Talent.

“We had no idea that we would have had so many people come out. There’s a rabid fanbase in Canada for this show but we’ve been overwhelmed — had to put extra staff on, had to get extra rooms.”

He points to Vancouver as another hotspot — he says almost 1,000 showed up there — and says a broad diversity of Canadians have turned out from coast-to-coast.

Unlike the search for singers for Canadian Idol, culinary masters for “Top Chef Canada” or fashion visionaries for Project Runway Canada, Brunton said he’s after an undefinable quality he referred to as “magic angel dust.”

“It doesn’t take a rocket scientist sometimes to decide who’s a good singer or a good dancer — nine out of 10 people would be able to say, ‘Hey, that person’s really talented.’

“But this is a whole different ballgame. It’s a much more complex kind of casting process and we’re really finding it incredibly fun but also really challenging.”

Brunton said construction on the house is underway, with 55 cameras installed so far. He expected it to be ready for houseguests in late January or February — making for a suitably snowy setting for Canada’s first take on the Big Brother franchise.

Malin said contenders should be aware that surviving the show is a lot tougher than it looks.

“It is a psychological challenge, it’s mental warfare and despite the comforts of the house you have to go there with a real warrior attitude,” he warned. “The boredom is really tough to put up with and it’s a hard grind. It’s like going to work — it’s not fun.”

them together. I would like him to respect our marriage enough to tell me the truth, but I have no idea how to get him to open up. Am I being too demanding? — Lost in the Country Dear Lost: You are not wrong. Your husband doesn’t want to take responsibility for his affair (physical or emotional) and has made you believe that you are not entitled to the truth. But he has an obligation to be completely transparent about his motives and behavior. Since he refuses counselling, please continue on your own and work through this in whatever way is best for you.

Dear Annie: I am really concerned about my husband. He became unemployed at the beginning of this year when we were expecting our second child.

Right now, he is selling cars to get by, but the hours are brutal, and the pay is inconsistent. He went back to school to study computers and network security and applied for a job with a computer company. This is an exciting opportunity for him.

The company asked to schedule an interview. My husband told them he is busy this time of year, but would be available as soon as he has next month’s schedule and can check the dates.

He left his cellphone number for them to contact him, and now we are just waiting. It has only been a few days, but I am so stressed about this. By saying he was busy, did he take himself out of the running for an interview? — Mrs. Concerned Dear Concerned: No. Your husband should call the

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The area of your life that rules your achievements and your standing in society will have a reinvigorating feel to it. You worked diligently into getting this far, this is the time you’ll be moving up the ladder.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are ready to embark into a new adventure. Be it a spiritual one or taking that planned trip overseas, you will evolve your soul by cultivating and by being open to new cultures, doctrines and philosophies. It will be a very uplifting time!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The New Moon will encourage you to increase your focus on issues dealing with your personal finances and money you share with your partner. Start developing a new budget and a savings plan. Expect an increase in your income.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Kids First,” who took a cruise with her in-laws. She was upset when she had to leave and discovered that her husband and in-laws went out drinking and took the 12and 14-year-olds along to watch. I think she should lighten up.

These were adults having a good time on vacation.

Also, these kids are not toddlers. If Mom sits down and talks to her children about her feelings, they will learn to be responsible. She shouldn’t shield them from life. — D. Dear D.: We agree that the best way to teach your children to hold fast to the moral standards you set is to teach and explain, not avoid and shield. But it helps when those relatives and friends the children look up to do not deliberately undermine the parents.

Dear Annie: I have been married for 36 years.

Eight months ago, I learned that my husband had been calling other women, one in particular, for the past two years. The calls included text messages and pictures.

The woman he was mostly in touch with is someone I know. She is married. My husband would call her multiple times, and each call would last nearly an hour. In addition, they would text each other 40 times during the day.

My husband refuses to explain why he started calling her and will not tell me what they talked about.

This has led to some terMITCHELL rible fights. I don’t know what & SUGAR to do. I love my husband very much and was devastated to learn about these calls.

He says they did not have a sexual affair, and I want to believe him. I have gone to counselling.

He went once, but when the counsellor asked him to talk about the phone calls, he became angry and stomped out. I suggested going to a different counsellor, but he says he doesn’t need to.

I have forgiven him, but I am haunted by images of

RAIVIO Mary Anne Aug. 20, 1943 - Oct. 11, 2012 Mary Anne Raivio, of Red Deer, passed away at the Red Deer Regional Hospital on Oct. 11, 2012 at the age of 69 years, after a courageous one-and-a-half year battle with lung cancer. Mary Anne will be lovingly remembered and sorely missed by her husband of 48 years, Dale; her daughter Tr a c y D e n n i s ( J o n ) o f Edmonton; son Stephen of Red Deer; and sons Michael (Jana) of Red Deer and Cory (Gloria) of Edmonton.

Thousands rally for girl shot by Taliban MANY COME OUT IN SUPPORT OF 14-YEAR-OLD ACTIVIST SHOT BY TALIBAN FOR PROMOTING GIRLS’ EDUCATION AND CRITICIZING MILITANT GROUP

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KARACHI, Pakistan — Tens of thousands rallied in Pakistan’s largest city Sunday in the biggest show of support yet for a 14-year-old girl who was shot and seriously wounded by the Taliban for promoting girls’ education and criticizing the militant group.

The Oct. 9 attack on Malala Yousufzai as she was returning home from school in Pakistan’s northwest horrified people inside and outside the country. At the same time, it gave hope to some that the government would respond by intensifying its fight against the Taliban and their allies.

But protests against the shooting have been relatively small until now, usually attracting no more than a few hundred people. That response pales in comparison to the tens of thousands of people who held violent protests in Pakistan last month against a film produced in the United States that denigrated Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

Demonstrations in support of Malala — and against rampant militant violence in the country in general — have also been fairly small compared with those focused on issues such as U.S. drone attacks and the NATO supply route to Afghanistan that runs through Pakistan.

Right-wing Islamic parties and organizations in Pakistan that regularly pull thousands of supporters into the streets to protest against the U.S. have less of an incentive to speak out against the Taliban. The two share a desire to impose Islamic law in the country — even if they may disagree over the Taliban’s violent tactics.

Pakistan’s mainstream political parties are also often more willing to harangue the U.S. than direct their people power against Islamist militants shedding blood across the country — partly out of fear and partly because they rely on Islamist parties for electoral support.

One of the exceptions is the political party that organized Sunday’s rally in the southern port city of Karachi, the Muttahida Quami Movement. The party’s chief, Altaf Hussain, criticized both Islamic and other mainstream political parties for failing to organize rallies to protest the attack on Malala.

He called the Taliban gunmen who shot the girl “beasts” and said it was an attack on “the ideology of Pakistan.”

“Malala Yousufzai is a beacon of knowledge. She is the daughter of the nation,” Hussain told the audience by telephone from London, where he is in self-imposed exile because of legal

Pakistani students hold pictures of 14-year-old schoolgirl Malala Yousufzai, who was shot last Tuesday by the Taliban for speaking out in support of education for women, during a protest condemning the attack, in Karachi, Pakistan, Saturday. cases pending against him in Pakistan.

His party is strongest in Karachi.

Many of the demonstrators carried the young girl’s picture and banners praising her bravery and expressing solidarity.

The leaders of Pakistan’s main Islamic parties have criticized the shooting, but have also tried to redirect the conversation away from Taliban violence and toward civilian casualties from U.S. drone attacks.

Cyril Almeida, a columnist for Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper, said this type of “obfuscation” prevents Pakistanis from seeing “there is a continuum from the religious right to violent Islamism.”

“The religious right creates an enabling environment for violent Islamism to recruit and prosper. And violent Islamism makes state and society cower and in doing so enhances the space for the religious right,” Almeida wrote in a column Sunday.

Malala earned the enmity of the Pakistani Taliban for publicizing their

behaviour when they took over the northwestern Swat Valley, where she lived, and for speaking about the importance of education for girls.

The group first started to exert its influence in Swat in 2007 and quickly extended its reach to much of the valley by the next year. They set about imposing their will on residents by forcing men to grow beards, preventing women from going to the market and blowing up many schools — the majority for girls.

Malala wrote about these practices in a journal for the BBC under a pseudonym when she was just 11.

After the Taliban were pushed out of the Swat Valley in 2009 by the Pakistani military, she became even more outspoken in advocating for girls’ education. She appeared frequently in the media and was given one of the country’s highest honours for civilians for her bravery.

The military carried out its offensive in Swat after a video surfaced of a militant flogging a woman who had

allegedly committed adultery, which helped mobilize public support against the Taliban.

Many hope the shooting of Malala will help push the military to undertake a long-awaited offensive in the Pakistani Taliban’s last main sanctuary in the country in the North Waziristan tribal area.

The Pakistani Taliban said they carried out the shooting because Malala was promoting “Western thinking.” Police have arrested at least three suspects in connection with the attack, but the two gunmen who carried out the shooting remain at large.

The young girl was shot in the neck, and the bullet headed toward her spine. Two of her classmates were also wounded in the attack.

Doctors at a military hospital operated on Malala to remove the bullet from her neck, and she was put on a ventilator. Her condition improved somewhat on Saturday when she was able to move her legs and hands after her sedatives were reduced.

Israel claims significant blow against al-Qaida Israel claimed a significant blow against al-Qaidainspired militants in the Gaza Strip Sunday, killing one of the most influential leaders from an extreme branch of Islam that has targeted Egypt and Gaza’s Hamas rulers as well as Israel.

Hisham Saidani was killed alongside another top militant in the northern Gaza Strip in an airstrike late Saturday, Israel’s military said. He was one of the main ideological guides for the violent, ultraconservative Islamic movements in Gaza known as Salafi jihadis.

The Israeli military said Saidani, 43, was suspected of carrying out attacks against Egyptian and Israeli targets, but they would not provide further information.

Militants on jihadi websites identified the other dead man as Ashraf Sabah, 37. They said he was the leader of another al-Qaida inspired group, Ansar alSunnah.

In recent years, a number of shadowy groups that claim inspiration from al-Qaida have been on the rise in Gaza. While they are not believed to have direct links with the global terror network, they share the same belief that they can impose their fundamentalist version of Islam by force and frequently borrow its tactics. They have also clashed with Gaza’s ruling Islamic militant Hamas movement.

Saidani led a small group, “Tawhid wal Jihad,” or “Monotheism and Holy War,” believed responsible for killing of an Israeli civilian working along the Egyptian border last June. He was also linked to the Mujahideen Shura Council, another militant group operating in Gaza and Egypt’s neighbouring Sinai desert.

Salafi militants first emerged in Gaza around 2005, after Israel withdrew from the territory. Members of one such group, the Army of Islam, co-operated with Hamas in the abduction of an Israeli soldier the following year. But after Hamas seized power in Gaza in 2007, differences emerged, and the sides parted

ways. Several hundred Salafi militants are now believed to be in Gaza. Saidani was the best known.

Saidani returned to Gaza in 2008 when Gaza militants blew a hole through the border fence with Egypt. Thousands of people crossed the border at the time.

Followers of Saidani were responsible for kidnapping and killing Italian activist Vittorio Arrigoni in Gaza in March 2011. Saidani later denounced the act.

He sought to unite the many groups of ultraconservative Salafis in Gaza, according to jihadis commenting about his death.

In response to Saidani’s death, al-Qaida’s media arm warned Israel that its “joy will not last long.”

“We fully trust our brothers that they will be capable of avenging the killing,” said a statement by the Global Islamic Media Front, a European group that supports al-Qaida and other extremist organizations.

The statement underscored Saidani’s prominence among jihadis.

Over the past year, Israel has targeted militant Salafi militants with airstrikes in Gaza, seeing them as a new threat to its southern border.

On Sunday, Israeli airstrikes killed three more militants, said Palestinian health spokesman Ashraf al-Kidra. In all, five militants were killed in weekend fighting.

Israeli officials believe the militant Salafis sometimes cross between Gaza and Sinai, using the lawless Egyptian territory as a base to conduct attacks, or to flee after carrying out attacks elsewhere. Many adopt a Pakistani style of dress: long loose shirts over baggy pants, sandals and turbans.

They are considered a threat not only to Israel, but to Hamas and Egypt as well.

Militant Salafis consider Hamas, which itself is dedicated to Israel’s destruction, to be too moderate because it seeks to establish a Palestinian state.

Instead, they believe all Muslim lands should be united under the rule of fundamentalists, forcefully applying an extremely conservative version of Islam.

Most Salafis disavow militancy. They have lived

Yeager re-enacts sound barrier flight 65 years later THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — Sixty-five years after becoming the first human to fly faster than the speed of sound, retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Chuck Yeager is still making noise.

The 89-year-old Yeager, who was featured in the movie The Right Stuff, flew in the back seat Sunday of an F-15 Eagle as it broke the sound barrier at more than 30,000 feet (9,144 metres) above California’s Mojave Desert — the same area where he first achieved the feat in 1947 while flying an experimental rocket plane.

The F-15 carrying Yeager took off from Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas and broke the sound barrier at 10:24 a.m. Sunday, exactly 65 years to the minute the then-Air Force test pilot made history.

It also happened on the same day that daredevil skydiver Felix Baumgartner shattered the sound barrier after making the highest jump ever from a balloon 128,100 feet (39,045 metres) above the Earth.

Baumgartner hit Mach 1.24, or 833.9 mph (1,342 kph), according to preliminary data, and became the first man to reach supersonic speed without travelling in a jet

or a spacecraft. He landed safely in the New Mexico desert after a descent of just more than nine minutes. Yeager told reporters after his flight that he was unaware of the skydiver’s feat.

Asked by a young girl if he was scared during Sunday’s flight, Yeager joked, “Yeah, I was scared to death.” But the legendary pilot said he continues to fly all the time and it was just another flight to him.

Yeager flew the F-15 as it took off and landed, said Airman Timothy Young, a Nellis spokesman.

The plane was piloted by Capt.

David Vincent of the 65th Aggressor Squadron at Nellis.

quietly in Gaza for decades, some in separate, closed communities.

Hamas arrested Saidani, also known as Sheik Abu Walid-al-Maqdasi, last year in the one of most highprofile arrests against the territory’s militant Salafis.

He was released two months ago.

Saidani was also imprisoned in Egypt after he tried to join militants fighting in Iraq. He was arrested again after he tried to enter Gaza through smuggling tunnels that connect the two territories, according to a militant website that listed Saidani’s biography.

Regime accused of dropping cluster bombs HUMAN RIGHTS GROUP ACCUSES AIR FORCE OF USING CLUSTER BOMBS ON OWN PEOPLE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SYRIA

BEIRUT — The Syrian regime was accused Sunday of dropping cluster bombs — indiscriminate scattershot munitions banned by most nations — in a new sign of desperation and disregard for its own people.

The international group Human Rights Watch cited amateur video and testimony from the front lines in making the allegation against the government of President Bashar Assad.

Syria and Turkey, meanwhile, declared their skies off-limits to each other amid mounting cross-border tensions in Syria’s 19-month-old conflict, now a civil war. Turkey is an outspoken backer of rebels trying to oust Assad.

The weekend’s mutual ban on overflights is part of Turkey’s increasingly assertive stance toward Syria that has stirred concerns about a regional conflagration.

In the past two weeks, Turkey has retaliated for stray Syrian shells and mortar rounds, intercepted a Syrian passenger plane on suspicion it carried military equipment, and — according to a Turkish newspaper Sunday — sent more warships to naval bases north of the Syrian coastline.

Inside Syria, rebel fighters and regime forces have been locked in a bloody stalemate for weeks, with rebels holding large rural stretches in the heavily populated western area, but unable to dislodge Assad’s troops from urban centres. During the summer, the regime escalated shelling and airstrikes on

rebel-held neighbourhoods.

Human Rights Watch said new amateur videos and interviews with residents suggests the Syrian air force has dropped cluster bombs in the past week, mainly along a main north-south highway in western Syria that runs through Maaret al-Numan, a town captured by rebels after fierce fighting.

Cluster bombs open in flight, scattering smaller bomblets over a wide area. Many of the bomblets don’t explode immediately, posing a threat to civilians long afterward.

Steve Goose, an arms expert for the New Yorkbased human rights group, said most nations have already banned cluster bombs and that many of those who haven’t, including the United States, said they would do so soon.

“These are weapons that are really beyond the pale,” Goose said in a phone interview. “This is a weapon of desperation (for Syria) at this point in time. Only those governments and political leaders who are willing to thumb their nose at international opinion will use these weapons.”

The Syrian government had no immediate comment.

First word of cluster bombs being dropped by the regime emerged in July, but the recent reports indicated a more widespread use, said Nadim Houry, a Lebanon-based researcher for Human Rights Watch.

Sunday’s report said activists posted at least 18 videos in the past week showing remnants of the

bombs in or near the central city of Homs, the northern cities of Idlib and Aleppo, rural areas near the town of Latakia and the eastern Ghouta district close to the capital of Damascus. The group also spoke to residents in the towns of Taftanaz and Tamane who said cluster bombs were dropped in their areas on Tuesday.

There was no immediate report of casualties from the recent cluster bombs, the report said, adding that the munitions shown in the videos were made in the Soviet Union, a major arms supplier to Syria before its collapse in 1991.

Amateur videos cannot be confirmed independently because Syria restricts access to foreign journalists and the government keeps a tight lid on news related to the conflict, which it blames on a foreign conspiracy.

Cluster bombs have also been used in other recent conflicts in the region, including by forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who was toppled in a bloody uprising last year, and by Israel in its 2006 war with the Lebanese Hezbollah militia.

U.N. demining experts have said hundreds of thousands of bomblets dropped over Lebanon failed to explode.

The death toll in Syria’s civil war crossed the threshold of 33,000, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which gathers reports from a network of activists.

The group said it counted 33,204 dead as of Friday, including 23,752 civilians or civilians-turnedrebel gunmen, 1,241 army defectors fighting with the rebels and 8,211 regime soldiers.

Obama to be ‘aggressive’ for second presidential debate

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON — The next eight days could prove critical for both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney — the two bitter rivals for the White House square off for their second and third prime-time debates, both well aware that their first faceoff dramatically altered a rollercoaster presidential race.

The two men took a break from campaigning on Sunday to undergo intensive debate preparation ahead of their next high-stakes clash, this time a town hall-style event on both foreign and domestic policy being held in Hempstead, N.Y., on Tuesday.

Obama was in Williamsburg, Va., at a posh resort on the James River.

Various members of his debate prep team, including Romney stand-in Sen. John Kerry — toting a massive binder filled with colour-coded dividers — were seen milling about the resort on Sunday, hoping to ensure a far more spirited, engaged Obama shows up this week.

Romney was at his home in Boston, hoping to build upon his recent momentum by besting Obama yet again with another razor-sharp debate per-

formance.

The battle for the White House is now a horse race in the aftermath of the two mens’ first debate in Denver two weeks ago. The Real Clear Politics daily polling average has Romney slightly ahead of Obama nationally, with the Republican also surpassing or nipping at the heels of the president in several crucial battleground states that will determine the outcome of the Nov. 6 vote.

Obama plans to be more aggressive when he squares off against Romney this week, the president’s top adviser said Sunday.

“He is going to make some adjustments on Tuesday,” David Axelrod said on Fox News Sunday.

Axelrod accused Romney of having “serially walked away from his own proposals” during the first showdown, an event watched by almost 70 million Americans.

“Certainly the president is going to be willing to challenge him on it,” Axelrod said before paying Romney a left-handed compliment by calling him a “great salesman.”

“That is what he did as a professional; he is very good at it,” he said.

Romney’s ready for the new and improved Obama, one of his top campaign officials said Sunday.

“The president can change his style, he can change his tactics, he can’t change his record and he can’t change his policies. And that’s what this election is about,” Ed Gillespie told CNN on Sunday.

The mens’ final showdown is on Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla. Debates have become critically important this election cycle, with both men struggling for months to raise the enthusiasm levels of their supporters.

Both campaigns have fretted that their support is shallow; Romney’s enduring post-debate surge seems to suggest those concerns were not misplaced for the Obama campaign.

Only two politicians in 52 years came from behind and were propelled to the White House following strong televised debates — John F. Kennedy in ’60 and George W. Bush in 2000 — and Romney is aiming to become the third. His campaign believes he could very well join the exclusive club after he significantly closed the gap on Obama after their Denver showdown.

The growing phenomenon of early

voting in the United States is also lending a greater significance to debates.

Almost a million voters have already cast ballots, with early voting in 2012 on pace to exceed 2008 numbers, when about 30 per cent of all votes nationally were cast before election day.

That means both candidates have fewer chances to change voters’ minds about them in the event of an abysmal debate performance.

So far, at least, Obama seems to be leading among early voters. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll suggests the president leads Romney 59 per cent to 31 among early voters, although the sample size of the survey is relatively small.

Obama supporters were stunned by the president’s disengaged debate performance in Denver on Oct. 3. In particular, they accused him of failing to challenge Romney’s sudden step to the centre of the political spectrum after the Republican spent months promoting ultra-conservative positions on everything from social issues to debt reduction.

Apparently mindful of the charge, Obama has been attacking Romney for the shift in the wake of the Denver sparring match.
