Costume is the cat’s meow!

HALLOWEEN PARTIES CAN BE THE BIGGEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR AT RED DEER’S BARS, AND ROB BONIN WILL BE READY

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Halloween is the one night of the year when Rob Bonin can safely party in public in his briefs.

Rest assured, the Red Deer property manager will also be sporting a ton of body paint. Through the wonders of artistically-applied makeup, Bonin will be transformed into a wildcat that’s “tamed” by a female companion, who’s accompanying him dressed as a whip-wielding animal trainer.

On the Saturday, the final Saturday before Halloween, the city’s bar strips will be crawling with similarly scary monsters and Ziggy Stardust-like super-creeps. The annual celebration of everything uninhibited and un-Earthly will be especially hopping inside Red Deer’s many drinking establishments, where Halloween parties can be the biggest night of the year.

In terms of sheer customer numbers, January Barthel, manager of Bellinis Sonic Lounge at Red Deer’s Sheraton Centre, believes that fright night even surpasses New Year’s Eve — although it depends on whether Dec. 31 falls on a weekend.

Like other bar managers, Barthel is gearing up for the onslaught of colourfully attired customers by booking her full contingent of 35 bartenders, waiters and security personnel to work Saturday’s night shift.

Not only will Bellinis staff be dressing up along this year’s angels and demons theme at the bar, they spent several hours earlier this week hanging fake clouds and hellfire around the establishment that caters to an older crowd.

“It’ll be a really fun night,” predicted Barthel, who fondly recalled last year’s softer theme of Disney fairy tales.

Most Red Deer bars award big prizes for best costumes. At Bellinis, $500 goes to the first-place winner (last year it was split between members of a Ghostbusters crew), $300 will be awarded for second and $200 for third.

Prizes at Wild Bill’s Sports Bar at the Quality Inn North Hill will include big screen TVs and electronic car starters.

Hannah Rahbek-Ward and her groom, Daniel Nathoo, pose for Kate Ludwig in the hangar at Sky Wings Aviation at the Red Deer Airport on Thursday. Grounded by a mechanical issue, the couple originally were to be wed while flying above Red Deer but settled to hold their ceremony on solid ground instead.

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Daniel Nathoo and Hannah Rahbek-Ward wanted to get married on a small plane flying over Red Deer on Thursday afternoon.

When a broken propeller put an end to that idea, they decided to do the next best thing.

“We had the ceremony in the airplane hangar,” said Rahbek-Ward after the ceremony at Sky Wings Aviation at Red Deer Airport.

“I think it was really great. The pictures are fantastic. It was a very intimate ceremony, just close

family.”

The couple hoped to take a short flight on another plane after the ceremony but poor weather grounded that plane, too.

Rahbek-Ward, 19, of Red Deer, said they wanted to get married in the air because it would be unique and air travel played an important role in their romance.

Nathoo, 20, is from Israel and the pair met while attending Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School when Nathoo’s family was looking to immigrate to Canada.

FORECAST ON A2

City council will sit with members of Red Deer’s aboriginal community in a reconciliation circle to restore lost trust after council rejected the proposal to build affordable housing and a cultural centre site in Clearview Ridge.

Scheduled for Thursday, the circle will allow the aboriginal community to share the decision’s impact and a chance for council to explain the reasons and difficulties behind making the decision.

Following strong opposition from Clearview Ridge residents who voiced concerns about being left in the dark about the project and fears of increased crime and loss of property value, city council rejected the site on Oct. 16.

Tanya Schur, executive director of the Red Deer Native Friendship Society, said the circle will allow the aboriginal community to be heard in its traditional way.

“Public hearings and open houses aren’t our way,” said Schur. “Talking circles are our way. . . . If we do that work, the friendship society can come together with the city and talk about options in a good way.”

City council directed administration to come back in four weeks with options for other sites in the city.

Mayor Morris Flewwelling said there will likely be a progress report at the meeting.

He said the project will likely move slowly forward because there has to be healing.

“I think there’s a lot of hurt in the aboriginal community,” said Flewwelling. “I think it’s important for us to regroup and get it right.”

In June, the Central Alberta aboriginal community bestowed a Cree name on Flewwelling to honour and recognize his long-standing commitment to the community.

Award winning journalist talks politics PERSPECTIVES SPEAKING SERIES

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Prime Minster Stephen Harper’s soft environmental stance has deepened B.C.’s skepticism over the proposed Alberta oilsands pipeline, said national affairs columnist Chantal Hébert — who doesn’t foresee any shortterm resolution.

The Northern Gateway Pipeline that would move oilsands bitumen to the West Coast for shipment to Asian markets “is not going to happen, not in its current shape,” said Hébert, who spoke on Thursday as part of Red Deer College’s Perspectives: Canada in the World series.

“That ship has sailed . . . ” She believes that Harper should have taken former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s advice: “If you want to sell stuff like that, make yourself green.” Instead, Harper’s weak environment policies have made it harder now to convince British Columbians that Ottawa “has the interest of the environment at heart,” said Hébert.

Although the award-winning journalist can’t see Harper pushing the B.C. pipeline through without losing massive voter support in that province, she does see the proposed oilsands pipeline to the U.S. going ahead, no matter who wins the American presidential election next month.

Hébert suggested Alberta Premier Alison Redford is likely waiting for B.C.’s spring election before seriously trying again to negotiate. “No one’s going to sign a deal with someone who’s not going to be able to honour it in five months,” she said, referring to the widely held speculation that B. C. Premier Christy Clark’s Liberal government will go down at the polls.

The growing rift between Alberta and B.C. is a novelty for Central Canada, which is used to doing the squabbling, said Hébert, to laughter from the crowd. “It’s the flip side of what we’ve had . . . (when) Ontario and Quebec were always fighting with each other.”

Syndicated columnist Chantal Hebert speaks at the Perspectives Canada In The World speaker series at the Red Deer College Arts Centre on Thursday. national affairs writer for the Toronto Star talked about Canada as if it were a political snake shedding its skin by discarding decades-long trends.

Among the many “firsts” is Quebec electing a sovereignist government that has no plans to call a referendum on separating from the rest of Canada.

While Harper is very unpopular in Quebec, she noted, so is separatism, receiving only 32 per cent support.

Another big first having the federal Liberals in third place after the Conservatives and NDP, said Hébert, who doubts that Justin Trudeau could single-handedly save the party if he wins its leadership. The biggest hurdle is the lack of Liberal support in the West, which is currently Canada’s economic engine, she added.

Trudeau is young, “has done his

STORIES FROM A1

HALLOWEEN: When adults get to be kids again The bar’s deejayed music (with Ransom from The Kraze radio station acting as MC) will be interspersed with nods to Halloween, likely including Michael Jackson’s Thriller or tunes from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

“It’s one of the most entertaining nights of the year — and one of the safest,” said Wild Bill’s manager Marc Robichaud.

“I have been doing this for 20 years, I’ve seen everything” — from cowboys to aliens and beyond.

He believes that most people tend to behave at Halloween parties because “they don’t want to mess up their costumes.”

“Halloween is when adults get to be kids again,” added Robichaud, who predicted a “fun, excellent night” ahead.

Bonin, the tiger man, thinks it would be great to win a costume prize. But that’s not why he’s spending three hours getting expertly body-painted in the same orange and black guise he wore to a Halloween party in Edmonton last weekend. (Bonin’s costume was initially applied by a professional makeup artist, but will be reapplied this weekend from photo references by a friend with an airbrush.)

The brief-sporting partier will have to slip on a coat and boots to face the below-zero temperature — at least until he gets indoors. But he maintains

homework,” has obvious charisma, and might well live up to his potential. But if Justin were to boost his party “just on the basis of a name, he will have me fooled,” said Hébert, who can’t imagine a government ruling Canada without Western support.

It would be a backwards step, she added, “like having a prime minister who can’t speak French again.”

Ontario-born and raised Hébert, who grew up in a French-speaking family, was back in Red Deer for the first time in 25 years. She told a story about having a telephone conversation overheard by a young motel attendant the last time she was here. She recalled the puzzled girl asking her, “What language was that?”

Now not only is French immersion education growing throughout the

it’s all worth it because “Halloween takes you out of your character. . . . You get out of your normal, everyday lives and get to be someone else.”

The best thing about hitting Halloween parties at local bars is getting to people watch, added Bonin, who admires how elaborately creative some costumes get — such as the 12-foot grim reaper he saw last weekend that came complete with black cloak, bony hand and synthesized voice.

“It’s just entertaining.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

CIRCLE: About 120 people invited to participate He was named Mountain Eagle, or Asiniw-waci Kihew in Cree. At the time, Flewwelling said it was one of “most important and memorable” days of his life. The naming is one of the most sacred and highest honours by the aboriginal community.

About 120 people, including council, city administration and members of the aboriginal community, are invited to participate in the circle. The Native Counselling Services of Alberta will facilitate.

Schur said the reconciliation circle will restore a right relationship, where people trust one another and gain a greater understanding of what has occurred between the parties.

“I don’t think any one party had all the information,” said Schur. “And that contributed to where we have ended up with everybody losing. Certainly the only people who didn’t lose were the neighbours of Clearview, sadly. Certainly council has lost credibil-

country, but most Canadian premiers are bilingual, said Hébert, She added that having leaders like Redford being able to discuss ideas in French with Quebecers makes a “tremendous” difference in narrowing the cultural divide. “It’s harder to think, they’re like this or like that, because you have the person right there, talking in your own language.”

The biggest challenge we face is figuring out how to grow a modern economy that’s not resource based, said Hébert.

If Ontario’s large manufacturing sector doesn’t work, it’s bad for all of us, she said. “It’s like saying my heart’s not doing well, but I have strong arms and good lungs. In a good body, you want a good heart too.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

ity in our community.”

The proposed centre is to include 16 units of housing and a gathering space for aboriginal celebrations, meeting space for community and visiting elders, daycare, aboriginal support services, a community garden and other spaces. The city has been in talks with the friendship society for several years to help with their vision.

“It may be a long slow process but I have a funding agreement with my funder (provincial government) until March 31,” Schur. “I want to have shovels in the ground by spring before my funder looks at my project stalled again and says why do we keep extending this project when there is such a great need for housing in Alberta?”

The friendship society received roughly $2.6 million from the province for its housing project. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

WEDDING: Couple moving to Israel His family eventually returned to Israel because Nathoo had to complete his military service.

Rahbek-Ward, who has been working as a front desk clerk at Sandman Hotel, will be moving to Israel where Nathoo is a military cook and part-time garbage collector.

She advised other couples not to fret when things go wrong at their weddings.

Van hits school; three hurt

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS ST. PAUL — When 14-year-old Simon Chamberland saw several Grade 6 students running down the school hallway, crying and screaming with blood dripping down their faces, he thought a gunman was on the loose.

He next heard a panicked secretary at Racette Junior High School announce over the intercom that the building was in lockdown mode. All the teens in his gym class ran for the girls’ change room and hid in the corner of the showers. “I was thinking, ’Oh my gosh, I hope everyone’s all right and everyone’s safe.�’ Only later did Chamberland realize the chaos Thursday morning was caused by a minivan that had crashed through an outside wall and into a classroom.

Mounties said three students were pinned under the van at the Catholic school in St. Paul. They were airlifted to a hospital in Edmonton, 200 kilometres to the west, with critical injuries.

Health officials said one of the wounded is an 11-year-old girl. Five others were transported by ambulance to the local hospital, but they were released later in the day.

Parent Michelle de Moissac said her 13-year-old daughter sent her a text message at about 9:30 a.m., saying there had been a crash and the school was locked down.

Confused, de Moissac rushed to the school and saw a giant hole in the side of the building. There were ambulance, police and fire crews and a line up of school buses.

Rescue workers help an injured child after a minivan crashed into a school in St.Paul, Alta., Thursday. Police say a child was pinned under the minivan after it went through the wall of Racette Junior High School in St. Paul, east of Edmonton.

She said a teacher told her the van had been driving erratically. It nearly hit a pedestrian a few blocks away before it went down an alley by the school, veered off the road, smashed through a chain-link fence and then went through the building, she said.

The van dove down into the classroom, which sits below ground. There were about 15 students in the Grade 6 French class at the time, de Moissac said. “Everyone was being taken out by ambulance.�

RCMP said the van’s driver, a 46-year-old man from St. Paul, received minor injuries and was taken into custody. Photos from the scene show him being led away in handcuffs.

Spokeswoman Doris Stapleton said investigators are trying to determine the cause of the crash, which could include impairment by drugs or alcohol, me-

chanical failure, slippery road conditions and the driver’s medical health. “The results of this ongoing investigation will determine when and if charges are applicable.�

De Moissac said she quickly found her son and daughter at the school and was relieved they weren’t hurt. But her son is worried about some of his good buddies who were sitting in the classroom that was hit. She’s also concerned for the parents of the injured children. “For about 10 minutes I didn’t know where my son was and I was freaking right out ... It’s nothing compared to what these parents are going through.�

Brodziak said counsellors will be made available to “any who are struggling to cope with the accident and its aftermath.�

Katz donation to Tories ‘offside’: critics

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Alison Redford says no matter how much money billionaire Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz contributes to her Progressive Conservative party, there will be no direct taxpayer subsidy for a new hockey rink. “There will be no direct provincial government funding to any professional sports arena, and that position has not changed (since I’ve been leader) in the past 18 months,� Redford told the house Thursday.

Redford was under attack after Elections Alberta released on Wednesday the breakdowns of campaign spending in the April 23 vote that saw Redford’s Tories win majority government.

The documents showed that Katz, his wife, mother, father, his executive team and their related companies donated a total of $300,000 to the Tories during the campaign. That represents about 20 per cent of the total donations to the party.

Other media reports cite sources saying the figure is as high as $430,000 and that Katz delivered the money in one six-figure cheque to the Tories in the late stages of the campaign.

The maximum any one person or group can contribute to any party is $30,000.

It was a day of high-decibel verbal fireworks and desktop-pounding during question period, featuring accusations of law-breaking, coverups, conspiracy theories and references to Katz’s pets. “Given that under this government’s rules, Mr. Katz, his wife, his mother, his father, his company, maybe his dog, his goldfish and the neighbour’s cat seem to have donated to the PC party in this past election,� began NDP critic Rachel Notley. “And given that Mr. Katz stands to receive a 20,000 per cent return on this investment, will the minister admit that in doing nothing to fix these loopholes, Albertans can be forgiven for concluding that Denmark

is not the only place where something is rotten?� she concluded, referring to a line from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.�

It was the highlight shot in an cross-aisle enfilade of insults. “Our local billionaire just bought himself a government!� thundered NDP Leader Brian Mason. “We have seen this government time and time again dodge, hide, obscure, bury and avoid the truth.

Some call it a culture of corruption,� Wildrose party Leader Danielle Smith fired at Redford. “We know (the Tories) are not reliable to investigate themselves, so now with another huge ethical scandal brewing, can we be sure that we are going to get the truth this time?�

Redford stood and shot back: “It is not the job of the government of Alberta to investigate itself. It is the job of the chief electoral officer. “And frankly, I take exception to the fact that there would be any suggestion in this house that any minister, including myself, would do anything to quash a prosecution. That is offensive and rude.�

Perception is reality, charged Wildrose house leader Rob Anderson. “How can this premier assure Albertans her government hasn’t been bought and paid for by the highest bidder?� he demanded.

That’s just more fantasy from the “Wild Alliance,� replied Finance Minister Doug Horner. “I love conspiracy theory books myself, but this one takes the cake,� he said.

How do Albertans know that Katz, the Rexall pharmacy magnate, isn’t also getting sweetheart treatment on drug issues? challenged Smith. “We’ve moved from offensive to repulsive,� said Health Minister Fred Horne. “No one particular provider receives special treatment,� he said.

The Tories ran behind the Wildrose party in polling for much of the spring campaign but won 61 seats

to 17 for the Wildrose on election day.

The parties themselves collect donation money, then send receipts and totals to Elections Alberta, said Elections spokesman Drew Westwater.

The parties are responsible for making sure that even if multiple donations come in on one cheque, that no single person or group contributed over the $30,000 limit. “We don’t get the cheques,� said Westwater. “We get receipts that are issued for the contributions made to the parties. We have no way of knowing how they received the money, whether it was cash or four cheques or 10 cheques or one cheque. That’s the party’s responsibility.�

But he said if Chief Electoral officer Brian Fjeldheim gets a complaint, he can investigate and has the power to compel documentation and issue fines for malfeasance.

Both Redford and PC Party spokesman Kelley Charlebois confirmed the party has already contacted Elections Alberta to offer to assist if there are any concerns.

Charlebois declined to give specifics on how much Katz or his associates contributed or say how the money came in. But he said the party has the documents to prove that all rules were followed. “We have the audited financial statements that show, as per the law, that donations were made appropriately (and) that we’re able to allocate all donations that we received to tax receipts,� said Charlebois.

Katz, who bought the Oilers in 2008, has become a prominent and controversial figure in recent months over his demands to renegotiate a deal with city council to jointly build a $475-million downtown arena for the Oilers.

Even with the deal in place and construction set to begin next spring, both sides had still been looking for an extra $100 million from the province.

A Katz spokesman declined to comment.

New beef plant president welcomes input

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BROOKS, — The new managers of XL Foods Inc. say they are taking immediate steps to ensure that the troubled southern Alberta meat-packing plant can stay in operation.

They are also promising to listen to workers who have concerns about the way the plant will be run.

Bill Rupp, CEO of JBS USA’s beef business in North America and Australia, told a news conference Thursday it is important to be accountable to the public. He added that workers shouldn’t be afraid to speak up if they see something wrong. “Nobody ought to have to work for a jerk, and I sit here as a reformed jerk, and I know I have jerk tendencies,� Rupp said with a chuckle.

He said he wants to send a message through the organization. “If someone’s doing something wrong, or (something is) not performing to where it needs to be, you don’t have to be a jerk to have that conversation.�

XL Foods has been at the centre of a massive recall of tainted beef. The Canadian Food Inspection

Agency restored the plant’s operating licence this week and also launched a review of the E. coli crisis that made at least 16 people ill.

The CFIA has acknowledged that its control over food safety inside the nation’s slaughterhouses has limits and it is up to companies such as XL Foods to honour their own safety plans.

Inspectors didn’t detect sanitation, hygiene or reporting deficiencies in the facility until an outbreak of E. coli bacteria last month touched off one of the largest food recalls in Canadian history. “Our job here is not to rehash the past or talk about what occurred there or why it occurred,� said JBS USA Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of Corporate Communications Cameron Bruett. “We will set a bold path forward to get people back to work and to get safe, Canadian beef back on the plate of domestic consumers and consumers

around the world.�

Bruett announced a six-point plan to bring the plant up to standard. It includes an independent third-party review of the plant and its food-safety plan by an expert from Texas A&M University, as well as additional training for XL’s 2,200 employees.

JBS USA personnel have spent the past week studying the plant. “I sat down with some of my key operations and engineering people who are still here at the plant,� said Rupp. “They’re fired up ... They think there’s no problem with this plant producing safe product. It’s a good, clean facility. We just need to operate it.�

The next step will be to decide whether JBS USA will exercise its option to buy the Brooks facility that it is now managing.

Watchdog won’t heel GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO PROVIDE DETAILS ON HOW IT SPENDS OUR MONEY Every so often a story bubbles up in the capital that is so important it demands attention, even if it is too easily dismissed as eye-glazing process.

Any yarn that includes the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the Federal Court, spending cuts and deputy ministers admittedly lacks the ingredients of a potboiler.

But the case of Kevin Page vs. the federal government is TIM simply too funHARPER damental to the way this place is supposed to operate, and too vital to the tracking of taxpayers’ money, that it can’t be ignored.

Page is preparing to take more than 60 government departments and deputy ministers to court in a bid to force them to provide information on government cuts, information to which he is entitled under the mandate given him by the very government which is now forcing him to the courts.

It speaks to the culture of fear in the capital, this government’s predilection to demonize its opponents and makes a mockery of what is left of its pledge of accountability and transparency.

Most importantly, it goes to the reason we send MPs to Ottawa.

The Harper government is asking MPs, including its own backbench, to vote blindly on the spending of your tax money, a key reason these MPs arrive in this town each Monday.

Page has extended deadlines for departments to provide the information.

He reached out as tactfully as he could, assaulting departments with logic.

INSIGHT

Before the House rose last spring, Page obtained a legal opinion stating that his mandate gave him the right to see the budget details he is seeking.

As a deadline approached, he had promises to comply from some 40 departments, but they magically evaporated.

It’s no secret in this town that a number of deputy ministers agree with Page that they should be providing details on what will be cut.

Page also appeared to win a victory when Wayne Wouters, the clerk of the Privy Council and the country’s most senior public servant, reversed himself and signalled that deputy ministers could decide independently whether they wanted to comply with Page’s request.

But the vise tightens with Treasury Board president Tony Clement and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty at the

crank.

If the government’s reticence is a matter of principle, it is a contradictory principle.

Some smaller departments complied, while the larger departments gave Page the back of its hand.

Clement has agreed with a parliamentary committee’s recommendation that there is a need for better transparency and accountability and that MPs should be informed of specific program funding.

“Taxpayers and parliamentarians deserve a clear, discernible and traceable line between spending and results,” Clement said in response to the committee report.

But that won’t be provided by Page, in Clement’s view.

The government rationale in stonewalling Page has been a shifting one.

He was originally accused of over-

stepping his mandate — a deliberate misreading of a mandate “to provide independent analysis (to MPs) about the state of the nation’s finances.”

Then Clement and Flaherty took to parsing it this way: Page was responsible for studying the money the government spent, not the money it hasn’t spent.

Clement and Flaherty have been models of decorum this week with a court date looming, but they have not been shy about spitting their enmity toward Page in the past.

Flaherty has been particularly dismissive.

The relationship took a sharp turn south in 2010 when Page questioned the government’s spending on its lawand-order agenda, cast doubt on the infrastructure spending and job creation, and challenged Flaherty’s target for balancing the books.

Flaherty openly questioned Page’s credibility, but Page kept doing his job.

Last winter, when Page said Old Age Security is properly funded and can continue on its current path with a retirement age of 65, Flaherty dismissed Page’s view as “unbelievable, unreliable, incredible.”

He has butted heads with the government on the true cost of its troubled F-35 military procurement and its Afghanistan mission.

On Tuesday, Keith Beardsley, former deputy chief of staff to Harper, posted a blog, published online by the National Post, remembering the Conservative pledge to create a totally independent budget watchdog.

Street swallows up another young victim They come from various sources; a home reserve, a home in Anders, or even from some other city or town; it really doesn’t matter from where, it’s just that they land on the street.

Some come out of curiosity, some because they were invited, yet others because they were leaving something negative behind like abuse, family discord, or just plain neglect from those they were seeking attention from.

However they come, CHRIS they come SALOMONS with various degrees of naivety.

Not necessarily innocent, just naive about what they will be facing when they do approach the street.

It was with a bit of curiosity that I watched as a new girl arrived on the street with her boyfriend.

They had come from Hobbema and were only going to be here for a few days, after which they would go back home. They kept to themselves and did not mingle with the street crowd at first.

What struck me about her was that she was chubby of face and very friendly. Her speech was hesitant, but her smile was super infectious. She clung to her boyfriend like there was no tomorrow and everywhere they went, they went together.

But there was something about her that I could not and would not be able to understand until some time later.

A few days soon became weeks

and it was not very long before they were enveloped into the patterns and habits of the street. Alcohol and drugs became a time filler and we could see that it would not be long before they would become fully entrenched in that lifestyle.

Then she got pregnant; stopped smoking and drinking and cared for herself. I believe that she was almost to term when she lost the baby.

The devastation that losing a child causes is almost inconsolable, and this young girl was no different. Her grief was terrible to watch and many times we would see her just sink to the ground in uncontrollable crying.

The street “helped” by giving her something to ease the pain: drink and crack.

It was during this time that I found out what was so different about her. It turns out that this 22-year-old was actually living with a developmental capacity of a much younger person.

She had me fooled until she lost her child and the manner in which she handled the whole affair. She just could not understand what was happening to her.

Just watching her was hard and we felt powerless to help. Add to that, her boyfriend left because he could not handle her or her grief.

In the year since, she is drunk more often than not and when it gets really bad, the grief resurfaces, and she becomes bitter and angry and we feel at a loss in how to reach her.

The street seems to have the answer that she is after today — tomorrow is another question.

Suffice to say, she is now a ward of the street.

And that, my friends, is how you get to be a ward of the street.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Don’t wage fluoride battle with outlandish claims Many of us do not favour the City of Red Deer continuing to add fluorides to the public water supply.

But it does not help the arguments to make preposterous statements about the dangers of fluorides, as did Craig MacKenzie in the Advocate letters on Oct. 24.

I googled the person he quoted, Dr. David Kennedy, and followed up on the ideas that “placing one’s hand in fluoride water” will cause death, and that a “pea-sized” amount of fluoride toothpaste will also lead to one’s demise.

These claims are actually misquotes of two people who wrote anonymously to a blog on fluorides, not Kennedy, who is a respected lab researcher at a university.

For instance, the “death by pea-sized toothpaste” claim can be seen at http:// 403-314-4337

Given the contents of any kind of toothpaste, fluoride or not (plastic abrasive particles, bleach, sugar, flavourings, preservatives, colourants, binders), the poison control centre will probably be able to advise whether the volume ingested will harm you at all, and what, if anything, to do about it.

Mostly they tell you to spit it out in future.

Fluoride use has enough actual scientific critics and research, whether one accepts them or not. Let’s stick to facts, and even supportable opinions.

Adding outlandish and easily disprovable claims subtracts from the cause of ending fluoride additives.

Top court rules in favour of Tory Opitz

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is prepared to look at updating Canada’s election law after a divided Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a Conservative MP legitimately won his seat in 2011 despite numerous procedural irregularities.

Harper said he’s “very happy” that the top court, by a slim 4-3 margin, affirmed Ted Opitz’s razor-thin, 26-vote victory in the Toronto riding of Etobicoke Centre over Liberal incumbent Borys Wrzesnewskyj.

Nevertheless, he did not dismiss out of hand Liberal calls for an overhaul of the Canada Elections Act to keep pace with technology-driven abuses and what they described as more brazen dirty tricksters.

“Obviously, we’ll always take a look at a law — as you know, we promised

to look at some reforms to our election laws,” Harper said on his way out of the House of Commons, accompanied by a smiling Opitz.

“But in this case, the important thing is that it was the voters who made the decision and that’s the way a democracy is supposed to work.”

Elections Canada had no immediate comment on the ruling, other than to say the watchdog agency would “take time to carefully review” the decision.

However, chief electoral officer Marc Mayrand has said in the past that he may recommend changes in the law to better regulate the use of technology, such as automated call centres and the massive voter identification data bases amassed by parties.

He’s also said the law needs to be changed to ensure exorbitant legal costs don’t prevent individuals from challenging dubious election results.

Wrzesnewskyj reportedly spent as

much as $300,000 in his legal battle to overturn the May 2011 results in Etobicoke Centre.

He won an Ontario Superior Court ruling that set aside Opitz’s victory because of procedural irregularities with 79 ballots, most involving missing or improperly filled out forms for voters who were not on the voters’ list or had no identification. Opitz appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court.

The high court overturned the lower court ruling because it said 59 of those rejected votes should have been allowed to stand. That means Opitz essentially won his seat by a mere half dozen votes.

An election official’s failure to follow a procedural safeguard is not sufficient to invalidate a vote cast by an individual who was otherwise qualified to vote, the court ruled.

That approach gives effect to “the underlying Charter right to vote, not

merely the procedures used to facilitate that right,” justices Michael Moldaver and Marshall Rothstein wrote for the majority.

“We reject the candidate’s attempt to disenfranchise entitled voters and so undermine public confidence in the electoral process,” they continued — a line that was repeated several times

by Conservative MPs later in the day in the House of Commons.

The three-justice minority, meanwhile, led by Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, argued that the procedural requirements are “fundamental safeguards for the integrity of the electoral system.”

Procedural irregularities other than those that are “merely technical or trivial” should be sufficient to invalidate a vote, they said.

In a statement, Opitz thanked the court.

Allowing assisted suicide too risky, demeans life: Ottawa VANCOUVER — Legalizing doctorassisted suicide would demean the value of life and could lead vulnerable people to take drastic steps in “moments of weakness,” the federal government argues in its appeal of a court decision that struck down the ban.

Ottawa is defending the law that prohibits assisted suicide as it appeals a decision from a B.C. court, which concluded it is unconstitutional to prevent the sick and dying from asking a doctor to help them end their lives.

The government argues in court documents that allowing any form of assisted suicide creates the possibility that people with disabilities, the elderly and the terminally ill could be coerced to end their lives or do so in moments of depression and despair, even if better days may be ahead.

“It (the current law’s purpose) is to protect the vulnerable, who might be induced in moments of weakness to commit suicide,” the government says in a 54-page legal argument filed with the B.C. Court of Appeal.

“And it is a reflection of the state’s

policy that the inherent value of all human life should not be depreciated by allowing one person to take another’s life . . . . It also discourages everyone, even the terminally ill, from choosing death over life.”

The case was launched by several plaintiffs in B.C., including Gloria Taylor, an ALS patient who won an immediate exemption from the law. Taylor died without resorting to assisted suicide. The debate is likely destined for the Supreme Court of Canada, which last examined this country’s assistedsuicide ban in 1993, when it upheld the law in a case involving Sue Rodriguez.

Rodriguez died with the help of a doctor the following year.

The federal government argues the top court’s ruling in the Rodriguez case was final and says the B.C. Supreme Court had no right to attempt to overrule that decision.

In the B.C. case, the judge concluded the law must allow physician-assisted suicide in cases involving patients who are diagnosed with a serious illness or disability and who are experiencing “intolerable” physical or psychological suffering with no chance of improvement.

Trudeau comes out against PQ language plan

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS QUEBEC — Justin Trudeau has pressed one of the hottest issue buttons in Canada, saying there’s no need to toughen Quebec’s language laws.

During a visit to Quebec City, the Liberal leadership candidate was asked Thursday by reporters about plans by the new Parti Quebecois provincial government to toughen language laws.

The pro-independence PQ calls the matter urgent, following census data that suggests a decline in francophones’ demographic weight.

Trudeau’s response: the PQ language policy is unnecessary and counter-productive.

While he expressed support for the old Bill 101, pointing out that it has allowed French to thrive in Quebec and keep Canada bilingual, Trudeau said Thursday that adding teeth now to the language law risks needlessly reigniting old battles.

“I think we are revisiting old debates,” Trudeau

said in French.

“The majority of people in (my Montreal riding of) Papineau, in Quebec City and across Quebec are focused on their jobs, on the economy, on health care and on the education of their children, in order to participate fully in this era of globalization.”

His remarks come as a new poll suggested a Trudeau-led Liberal resurgence in Quebec, a province the party once dominated under his father.

Justin Trudeau’s opinion on language to a certain extent echoes the position of his father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who brought official bilingualism to Canada and criticized the PQ’s French-only policies.

The younger Trudeau is more supportive of past PQ language policies than his father was. However, the new PQ government has vowed to strengthen language laws, saying it needs to protect the French language and culture.

The PQ campaigned on a promise to extend the law to junior colleges and smaller businesses. It has also proposed applying it to daycare. In the wake of

this week’s census data, the PQ calls the matter especially urgent.

But Trudeau isn’t alarmed by new figures suggesting a relative decline of French in Canada and on the island of Montreal, saying it is the result of demographics and a lower birthrate.

“My concern about reinforcing Bill 101 is that we will find it punishes Quebec francophones who want their children to develop a capacity in English, the language of international commerce,” he said. “I don’t think this is a good direction.”

He pointed out that while older immigrants may speak their native language and English, their children are becoming fluent in French.

“If I speak to the parents of people from Bangladesh, Pakistan or India, yes, the parents speak English but when I speak to the children of five, 10 or 15 years old in my riding, they’re speaking French and it’s because Bill 101 works.

“I’m not worried. I’m proud of my beautiful French language.”

CALGARY — Calgary’s Catholic school district will review its policy against allowing students to be vaccinated for the virus that causes cervical and other types of cancers.

Four years ago, the district said no to the HPV vaccine, a position that was strongly supported by Calgary Bishop Fred Henry, who opposed the vaccine being given in Catholic schools on moral and religious grounds.

The district’s board of trustees now says because of recent medical studies it will consult with parents about offering the vaccine to Grade 5 girls.

“At the end of the day, the information will come back to the board and the board will make a decision that will be heavily informed by parental input,” Mary Martin, chairwoman of the board of trustees said Thursday.

“It is conceivable that this vaccine will be administered in our schools or, pending the direction of our parents, they may direct us to stay the course.”

Autopsy results expected soon on head discovered in back alley EDMONTON — Autopsy results are expected to be released Friday on a human head found in an Edmonton alley.

City police say the autopsy was delayed Thursday afternoon.

A woman found the head while walking in a northeast neighbourhood Wednesday morning.

Investigators are trying to determine whether it belongs to the body of a man found in a rural area east of the city on the weekend.

Local media say residents of Ranfurly have been talking about how the body was decapitated and found lying in a ditch next to a running pickup truck.

An autopsy was performed on that body Monday and the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Redford says money diverted to new hospital GRANDE PRAIRIE — Plans have been finalized for a new hospital in Grande Prairie, Alta.

The cost has gone up, with the budget now set at $621.4 million, up from the previous estimate of $520 million.

Premier Alison Redford says that extra $100 million was originally earmarked for other projects such as a new police college in Fort Macleod.

But she says the decision reflects her government’s commitment to investing in what it believes are the priorities of Albertans, such as health care.

The new hospital will include 200 acute care beds at first with room to add 32 more later.

There will also be an emergency room, cancer centre and room for a nursing and medical careers program.

“This will be a partnership between Grande Prairie Regional College and the regional health centre to ensure we’re supporting people that are part of health care profession training, and also nurse training, to get their practicums in northwest Alberta,” said Redford.

VANCOUVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Even as a report is delayed yet again into the actions of police around serial killer Robert Pickton, there are high expectations from advocates and activists in Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Downtown Eastside that the report will have life-saving solutions.

The province has granted an extra month to the commissioner who oversaw the public inquiry into the Robert Pickton serial murder case to hand in his final report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Members of the community who could have played a critical role in the inquiry process were not able to participate. That needs to be healed,â&#x20AC;? said Esther Shannon, with the Honouring Truth sex workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organizing group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no effective way of integrating the community, the recommendations have a very high mountain to climb.â&#x20AC;?

Shannon and a couple dozen people participated

in a public reading Thursday aimed at highlighting the sexism and racism they believe was part of the problem that allowed Pickton to continue killing women for so long.

About 30 people, including advocates and friends of the serial killerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victims, took turns reading from a 102-page assessment written by the lawyer appointed to broadly represent the interests of the Downtown Eastside during the inquiry.

Some 13 groups, including those representing aboriginal concerns and civil liberties, withdrew from the inquiry before it began to protest the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s denial of legal funding for them at the inquiry.

The report by lawyer Jason Gratl offers its own analysis of why Pickton was able to hunt women in the gritty Vancouver neighbourhood for so long, and puts forward 37 recommendations of its own.

Oppalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s task was to examine why police failed to catch Pickton as he murdered sex workers from Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Downtown Eastside in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

A Giant lead SAN FRANCISCO WINS GAME TWO TO TAKE CONTROL OF WORLD SERIES

DAVID STERN

END OF AN ERA NBA Commissioner David Stern will retire on Feb. 1, 2014, 30 years after he took charge of the league.

He will be replaced by Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver. The announcement came at an NBA Board of Governors meeting Thursday. Stern told owners during their two days of meetings of his plans, and the board unanimously decided Silver would be his successor.

Stern, who turned 70 last month, became commissioner on Feb. 1, 1984. He has been the NBA’s longestserving commissioner, establishing the league’s brand around the world, presiding over team expansion and overseeing the establishment of the WNBA.

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey tags Detroit Tigers’ Prince Fielder out at home during the second inning of Game 2 of baseball’s World Series Thursday, in San Francisco.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Giants 2 Tigers 0 SAN FRANCISCO — A Giant dose of small ball, and suddenly San Francisco finds itself in a most unique position — way ahead in a post-season series.

Madison Bumgarner shut down the Detroit Tigers for seven innings, then the Giants took advantage of a bunt that stayed fair to eke out the go-ahead run in a 2-0 win Thursday night for a 2-0 edge in the World Series.

Gregor Blanco’s single trickled to a stop inches fair on the infield dirt, setting up Brandon Crawford’s run-scoring doubleplay grounder in the seventh. Hunter Pence added a sacrifice fly in the eighth, and that was plenty for the Giants.

Game 3 will be Saturday night in Detroit and for once, the masters of the October comeback aren’t playing from behind. The Giants overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat Cincinnati in the best-of-five division series and escaped a 3-1 hole against St. Louis in the NLCS. The loss certainly left the favoured Ti-

gers wondering what else could go wrong.

Prince Fielder was thrown out at the plate by a hair and moments later starting pitcher Doug Fister was struck squarely in the head by a line drive.

The 6-foot-8 Fister managed to stay on the mound, and even excelled. Bumgarner more than matched him, however, allowing just two hits before the San Francisco bullpen closed it out before another pulsating crowd.

Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect eighth and Sergio Romo worked the ninth for a save in the combined two-hitter, leaving Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera in a huge hole heading back to Comerica Park.

Anibal Sanchez will start for the Tigers against Ryan Vogelsong in Detroit.

The Tigers looked foggy at the plate, maybe still lost following a five-day layoff after an ALCS sweep of the Yankees. Cabrera hopped up and twisted away after third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who homered three times in the opener, snared his early line drive.

Bumgarner had something to do with the Tigers’ troubles, too.

Bumped from the NLCS rotation after

two poor post-season starts, he returned with a flourish. The left-hander struck out eight and looked as sharp as he did in the 2010 World Series when, as a 21-year-old rookie, he stopped Texas in Game 4 on the way to a championship.

This game was scoreless in the seventh when the Giants went ahead, right after actor Tom Hanks — a former peanut vendor at the nearby Oakland Coliseum — sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” on the field.

Pence led off with a single and Fister departed, getting lots of hugs in the dugout.

Rookie reliever Drew Smyly walked Brandon Belt on a full-count pitch and Blanco’s bunt loaded the bases.

The Tigers kept their infield back up the middle, and had no play at the plate on Crawford’s bouncer.

Pence added the insurance run the next inning with his flyball off Octavio Dotel.

Fielder and the Tigers came up inches short of taking an early lead, the result of yet another alert play by second baseman Marco Scutaro and a dubious decision by third base coach Gene Lamont.

Queens flat in home loss to NAIT

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Ooks 4 Queens 3 The way the RDC Queens opened their Alberta Colleges Women’s Hockey League meeting with the NAIT Ooks it appeared as if it would be another good night for the home team.

Not so.

In the end it was the Ooks that dominated the majority of the game and pulled out a 4-3 victory at the Arena Thursday.

“We didn’t deserve it . . . the first two periods we weren’t ready to play,” said Queens assistant coach Erik Lodge, who handled the team with head coach Trevor Keeper out with a one-game suspension.

“It was a good learning experience. We have to know to show up to the rink, we can’t go through the motions and get a win. We need every player to be going and need to keep each

other accountable.”

The Queens jumped into a 1-0 lead at 1:46 of the first period on a outstanding effort by Gillian Altheim, who broke down the left side out of her own zone, shot by the defenceman and rifled a high shot to the short side past Ooks netminder Emma Cooley.

The Queens held a 4-2 edge in shots at the time. From then on it was all NAIT as they outshot the Queens 19-3 the rest of the opening period and tied the score at 6:14 when Jillian Mathieson beat Queens netminder Camille Trautman on a shot low to the stick side. While it was a shot that Trautman would love to have back, she was the only reason for a 1-1 tie after 20 minutes.

“It was one of those things that happens in hockey,” said Queens veteran forward Laura Salomons, who was an assistant coach with the Queens the last couple of seasons. “The first few

shifts were good then we turned it off. There was no excuse, but we were flat today and as long as we learn from it it’s not a bad thing, especially at the beginning of the year.”

The Ooks extended the lead to 3-1 after 40 minutes on goals

by Mathieson, on a scramble, and Danielle Brown, on a tipin on the power play. The Ooks outshot RDC 14-4 in the middle stanza and eventually 47-17.

The Queens showed some grit in the third period as they charged back to tie it on a screened point shot by Nikki Connor at 5:40 and a redirect of a Jade Petrie pass by Emily Lougheed at 11:05 when she drove the net on a three-on-one.

“To do well in a season you have to go through some adversity and this was adversity,” said Lodge. “But I liked the way we responded in the third period. Now we can learn from that, grow from it and get better.”

Salomons agreed.

“We showed in the third period how gritty we can be.”

But in the end Jody Rammel beat Trautman on another goal she would like back at 15:30 to spell the end for the Queens, who did have a power play to end the game and twice came within a whisker of tying it.

Salomons, who is in her fourth season, is the oldest player on the Queens and teams with fifthyear forward Leah Boucher and third-year centre Rachael Hoppins on a line.

“We are the oldest line and we have to be able to use our experience in a game like this,” said Salomons. “We have to step up earlier, but we’re still jelling as well.”

Salomons is an assistant captain and uses her coaching knowledge when she can.

“I should know the plays and I expect myself to read the plays and be better,” she said.

The second last weekend of the season still holds playoff implications because over half of the league’s members are still jockeying for positions in the post-season.

However, tonight’s game is the exception to the rule, because the B.C. Lions and Calgary Stampeders have already finalized their reservations in the playoff picture as West final (B.C.) and semi-final (Calgary) playoff hosts. I would assume that the Stamp owners will become huge Rider fans for the balance of the season to ensure a big playoff gate.

Tonight’s game will likely be all about experimentation and caution for both teams because they will want to avoid injury in a meaningless game. Look for extra time for the bench-warmers from both teams in

JIM SUTHERLAND

OFFSIDE this game, although they will likely play the firststringers enough to keep them game ready when the real bullets once again fly in the playoffs. The saving grace for the game will be a need for both teams to send a message for the anticipated rematch in the West final, so they will beat each other up for awhile with their

‘A’ teams in this game.

This is a chilly exhibition game and I predict a Lion victory.

The ‘Desperation Bowl’ pits the Winnipeg Blue Bombers against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Ivor Wynne on Saturday morning. The teams have identically horrible 5-11 records and trail the 7-9 Argos and Eskimos for the final playoff spot, yet both are long shots for third or even second in the CFL East. One of them will be expelled for good after the game with a loss and the other will need a little help from their friends to stay alive for a playoff spot.

Hamilton lost to Calgary on Andy Fantuz’s last-play field goal bobble, while the Bombers ran over the Argos in their last game. Frankly, neither team has played well enough to even warrant a playoff spot

in 2012, but one of them will live to wait for other game results to find out if they fight another day.

That team will be Hamilton because they can still put up a lot of points in a game and their woeful defense should be able to keep the anemic Bomber offense at bay in this game.

The afternoon game has the Roughriders hosting the Argos in chilly and presumably windy Regina. This game is important to both teams because the Argonauts still run the risk of missing the playoffs while the Riders need to know whether they play in the East or West semifinal. Lose the final two games and the Roughriders head east if the Eskimos win one of their final two games. The prospect of a semifinal playoff game against an eastern opponent almost

makes the idea a reward for failure for the Riders.

The Roughriders will want to win the game, but I believe that the Argos will prevail because they have Ricky Ray and the Riders have Darian Durant.

The last of the CFL games is Sunday morning’s Edmonton-Montreal match up. The Eskimos need to win the game to cement a playoff game while Montreal is on auto pilot to the East final.

Will desperation force the Eskimos into a better game against the Alouettes? It depends upon how much Anthony Calvillo plays because Eskimo pivot Kerry Joseph is no match for AC. Look for an Eskimo victory if Calvillo takes most of the day off in this one.

Inglis gives new meaning to two-way player REBELS FORWARD WORKS HARD ON THE ICE AND HAS BEEN GETTING GREAT REVIEWS FOR WHAT HE IS DOING OFF THE ICE

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Red Deer product Michael Stickland played four years in the WHL with the Kootenay Ice and Swift Current Broncos. Now 23, Stickland graduated from the major junior ranks following the 2009-10 season — in which he scored 25 goals and collected 57 points with the Broncos — and currently attends St. Mary’s University in Halifax and is entering his third year with the hockey Huskies.

WHO’S HOT Kamloops Blazers C Colin Smith has recorded at least one point in each of the club’s 13 games this season dating back to Sept. 21. The 19-year-old Edmonton product — a seventhround pick of Colorado in this year’s NHL entry draft — is second in WHL scoring with nine goals and 21 points and is the current WHL player of the week.

WHO’S A CLOSER Seattle Thunderbirds C Luke Lockhart has scored a league-high three insurance goals. The 20-year-old from Burnaby, B.C., has contributed six goals and two assists in 10 games and is coming off a 2011-12 season in which he put up 37 points (16-21) in 72 outings.

THEY SAID IT “Going to Toronto would be pretty special, because he had been a Leaf fan all his life. I’m sure he’d be watching down and enjoying every minute of it. I know he’s going to be watching every minute of draft day and I’m going to be thinking of him every minute.” — Brandon Wheat Kings star D Ryan Pulock, to the Vancouver Province, in regards to possibly being selected in the 2013 NHL entry draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs, the favourite team of his late brother Brock who died in an automobile accident in March of 2010.

Red Deer Rebels overage forward Charles Inglis is literally a two-way performer.

The outgoing Inglis has worked overtime as both a sniper and team spokesperson.

Since joining the Rebels last December, Inglis has been a contributor both on and off of the ice, attending as many teamsponsored functions as he can manage, which so far has basically been every one.

“He’s incredibly eager, he wants to be at every event we do off the ice,” said Rebels radio broadcast director Cam Moon.

“He wants to go to every school, make every public appearance.

He likes being out there and he’s not afraid to show some personality at those events.

“I know we got a great reaction regarding how personable he was at the (recent) Advocate post-game skate (with the Rebels at the Centrium).”

Inglis was one of six Rebels players to visit Vancouver’s skid row area this month with members of the RCMP drug squad and will share the experience at Central Alberta schools with drug awareness talks starting next week.

In addition . . .

“He paired up with a class at Annie L. Gaetz school this week and after he got here last year he attended all the Subway floor hockey events that we did (at various Red Deer and area schools),” said Moon. “Not to mention his regular Thursday morning visit to (radio stations) The Drive and Big 105. He goes on air and talks about whatever.”

Moon noted that if the hockey thing doesn’t work out for Inglis, he could be a radio personality.

“He could be a morning deejay. He could probably host a show,” Moon insisted.

Inglis is just happy to be of service.

“I do like getting out in the community. We finally got to go to Annie L. Gaetz school and I got paired up with a great bunch of Grade 1’s for the year,” he said. “There’s the radio thing I go to once a week and I’m setting something up where I can

Charles Inglis has been a steady contributor on the ice for the Rebels this season but his work off the ice has also been getting praise from team brass and around the community. ing the game the right way,” said Wallin. “When he gets away from some of the details in playing a team game, that effects his play and the play of the team.

“The last couple of games he’s got back to paying attention to the details. He’s keeping his shifts short, he’s using his linemates and he’s had a real good pace to his game. He’s a guy who when he’s moving he gets to the net, he creates space for himself and his teammates.

Just about every goal he scores is from right in the paint. That’s where he has to get to and he has to be moving the puck.

When he’s hanging on to it himself he doesn’t get to that area.”

Inglis was traded to Prince George after falling out of favour with the Saskatoon Blades.

And he didn’t get through two seasons in Prince George before being sent home to await a trade, all of which meant he arrived in Red Deer with some personal baggage.

Since settling here, however, he’s been a model citizen.

“He’s been excellent,” said Wallin. “His past is his past and he can’t erase that, but it’s what he does moving forward. Here, we’ve had zero issues with Charles. He’s great in the community, he works hard off the ice doing what he’s asked.

“He quite enjoys that part of it. He’s very personable, very likeable and he’s kept his nose clean. If he continues to do that he can be a good player for us.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Meanwhile, Thoma will also keep a close eye on three other Rebels 2012 bantam draft picks. Netminder Taz Burman and forward Adam Musil will suit up for Team B.C. and forward Meyer Nell is on the Manitoba roster.

“I’ll get to see how these seven guys stack up among the top 80 guys in Western Canada,” said Thoma.

Alberta has owned the U16 Challenge Cup since the inception of the tournament in 2009. Rebels defenceman Mathew Dumba was the captain of the 2009 team, which defeated Manitoba in a thrilling final at Blackfalds.

On the move: Was Chad Robinson excited at the prospect of joining the Brandon Wheat Kings earlier this week? Is Mitt Romney somewhat eccentric? “I think I can bring some leadership and be a contributor to this team, so I am looking forward to that,” Robinson, a native of nearly Minnedosa, Man., told the Brandon Sun after being dealt to the Wheat Kings by the Red Deer Rebels in return for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2014 bantam draft. “I’m absolutely thrilled. I couldn’t be more excited to be a Brandon Wheat King and I’m looking forward to playing for the Wheat Kings moving forward here. Growing up watching the Wheat Kings as a younger guy, it will be pretty special.” Robinson, 19, realized he was no longer in the Rebels’ plans and requested a trade. “It was sort of a mutual agreement, I guess you could say. I just wasn’t in the team’s plans for this year and moving forward I thought it would be more beneficial to ask for a trade out of there and move on . . . And absolutely, (Brandon) was at the top of the list.” Robinson was minus-1 in his Wheat Kings debut — a 4-3 loss at Victoria on Tuesday — and picked up an assist and was plus-1 in a 3-2 Brandon win 24 hours later at Vancouver. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

go to the hospital, visit some kids and just bring some joy to their day.

“I really enjoy doing that kind of stuff. It makes me feel good if I can make somebody else happy. It’s really important for me to give back because I can remember when I was just a small kid.”

In short, Inglis is enjoying his time in Red Deer.

“I love it here, I couldn’t be happier. I really thank Brent (GM Sutter) and Jesse (head coach Wallin) for giving me the opportunity here,” he said.

Inglis potted 32 goals with the Prince George Cougars in the 2010-11 season and last season netted 19 in 52 games with the Cougars and Rebels, who acquired him from Prince George in exchange for forward Daulton Siwak and a thirdround bantam draft pick.

He’s regained his form this season with 11 goals to date, including a league-leading seven on the power play. Four of the goals have come in the last two games, both Red Deer victories.

“Everyone, including myself, is playing more relaxed,” he said. “We’re working harder out there and coming into games with the mindset that we’re just going to go out there and play with a relaxed intensity instead of gripping our sticks too hard.

Hockey is a fun game. If we’re not having fun out there we’re not doing it right.”

As the Rebels’ leading scorer with 14 points, Inglis gives himself a passing grade to this point in the season.

“I’ve had a not-bad start to the season, but there are definitely areas I need to improve,” he said. “I had a little slump there where I was minus-5 over five games. I’m trying to get on the plus side of things and it’s working out. With my new linemates, Tyson Ness and Joel Hamilton, we’re moving the puck real well out there. It’s nice to play with those guys.”

Wallin likes what Inglis brings to the table — speed, a good shot, a physical presence and the ability to score — and said the six-foot, 185-pound forward is most effective when he follows the game plan.

“The big thing with Charles is just staying focused and play-

Martin and Bucs runs over Vikings Buccaneers 36 Vikings 17 MINNEAPOLIS — Travelling to Minnesota to play on a Thursday night was supposed to be tough for Tampa Bay. Rookie Doug Martin ran around the field as if he didn’t want to leave.

Martin racked up 214 total yards — including a career-high 135 rushing — and two touchdowns, and the Buccaneers romped to a 36-17 victory to hand the Vikings their first home loss this season.

“It was pretty fun. I’m not going to lie,” said Martin, who took a screen pass 64 yards for a score, one of Josh Freeman’s three touchdown passes, to give Tampa Bay (3-4) a 27-10 lead 1:21 into the second half.

Then Martin, the first-round draft pick from Boise State, capped a drive of more than 9 minutes with a 1-yard muscle into the end zone midway through the fourth quarter.

“It’s hard to come from college to the NFL,” Martin said. “The speed of the game is definitely increased, and this is a feel thing. You’re looking for that rhythm, as a running back, getting comfortable in the offence and having that game-time experience.

I’m definitely there, right where I need to be.”

Adrian Peterson had a season-long 64-yard run for a score that brought the Vikings (5-3) to 30-17, but his lost fumble in Minnesota territory in the second quarter led directly to a touchdown.

“It can get frustrating sometimes, but you can’t show that during the game. You’ve got to stay focused, stay resilient,” Peterson said. “I feel like we did that, but we just weren’t able to continue with it and stay on a roll with it.”

The Bucs, the second visiting team to win on a Thursday night in seven games this season, revived

STORIES FROM B1

SERIES: Swipe tag Fielder was hit by a pitch to lead off the second, Delmon Young followed with a double and when the ball rattled around in left field, Lamont waved the burly slugger home. Even with no outs, Lamont sent him.

Scutaro, in the middle of every big play for the Giants this month, dashed across the diamond, caught Blanco’s relay and unleashed a strong throw to the plate. All-Star catcher Buster Posey made a swipe tag to Fielder’s backside, just as the Tigers star slid home. Umpire Dan Iassogna had a clear look and made a demonstrative call — out!

Fielder immediately popped up from his slide and pleaded his case with two hands. Tigers manager Jim Leyland rushed out and pointed to the plate. At second base, Young yelled, “No!” But even if there was replay review, it wouldn’t have helped the Tigers. Because TV replays showed Iassogna, working his first plate job in a World Series, got it right.

There was no dispute that Fister somehow avoided a serious injury moments later.

With two outs in the Giants second, Blanco lined a shot up the middle that hit Fister on the right side of the head and deflected on the fly to shallow centre field.

Fister showed no visible effect from the blow — in fact, some in the crowd wondered whether the ball perhaps glanced off his glove because Fister stayed on his feet. Only when fans saw replays did groans echo around the

Scouting report Rebels vs. Kelowna Rockets Tonight, 7:30 p.m., Centrium The Rockets are coming off a 4-3 shootout loss on Wednesday at Medicine Hat — where they outshot the Tigers 58-28 — and occupy third place in the B.C. Division and sixth spot in the Western Conference with a 6-5-1-1 record . . . Myles Bell, a defenceman/

their struggling pass rush with three sacks and flustered Christian Ponder with a heavy dose of blitzes.

Ponder finished 19 for 35 for 251 yards, one touchdown and a late interception.

With a 13-point lead, just trying to keep that clock running as quickly as possible, the Bucs could’ve gone conservative, but they refused to settle for a punt. Starting at their own 13 with 1:12 left in the third quarter, they plowed their way up the field — Freeman completed four third-and-long passes — and finished off the game with Martin’s third-andgoal touchdown run with 7:03 remaining.

“Ah, he is definitely an asset to our football team,” cornerback Ronde Barber said. “For a young guy to have that kind of vision, to have that kind of patience as a runner, it’s pretty impressive.”

Freeman went 19 for 36 for 262 yards and, most importantly, no turnovers. Mike Williams had one of the touchdowns and 68 yards on six receptions, and the Bucs held the ball for nearly 38 of the 60 minutes.

With two games apiece against division rivals Chicago and Green Bay plus road trips to Seattle and Houston in the second half of their schedule, the Vikings have quite the challenge waiting for them and their strong start after Thanksgiving.

They faced an important test in this second half, too, after taking the clear advantage they had as the home team in this matchup and handing it over to the Buccaneers.

“There are so few opportunities in the NFL to ride that momentum, and we’ve got to take advantage of them,” Ponder said.

Their first three possessions were three-and-outs, Ponder started 0 for 5, Jerome Simpson lost a fumble after a short catch near midfield. The Bucs turned that into the second of Connor Barth’s three field goals and took a 13-0 lead.

“It’s always good to have a fast start, especially

ballpark.

Leyland, pitching coach Jeff Jones and a trainer went to the mound, and Fister insisted on staying in the game.

He walked the next batter to load the bases, but retired Bumgarner on a popup, starting a streak of 12 straight hitters set down by Fister.

Among those who winced was Oakland pitcher Brandon McCarthy, who sustained a skull fracture and brain contusion after being hit by a line drive last month.

“I’m not watching but did just see the replay. Certainly hope he’s ok,” McCarthy tweeted.

NOTES: Bumgarner struck out Austin Jackson and Omar Infante to start the game. Two other Giants fanned the first two batters in a Series game: Christy Mathewson (1905) and Carl Hubbell (1933). ... Bumgarner picked off Infante at first base to end the fourth. Infante made a break for second and, like Fielder earlier, came up short with his slide. ... Scutaro was the only Giants hitter to have previously faced Fister. ... Posey has a hit in all seven World Series games in his career.

RDC: Help my teammates “I help my teammates where I can and coach as much as I can on the bench,” Salomons added.

It did take Salomons some time to get back into the groove after being on the bench.

“It’s certainly puts a different spin on things and it was more the hands than anything coming back. Cement hands and it was a bit frustrating at forward, leads the Rockets scoring parade with nine goals and 21 points in 13 games. LW Colton Sissons, selected by the Nashville Predators in the second round of the 2012 NHL entry draft — 50th overall — has 16 points (6-10), while RW Dylan McKinlay (4-10) and LW Zach Franco (6-7) followed with 14 and 13 points . . .

playing in an environment like this one. I think it makes things a lot easier down the road,” Freeman said.

Harvin finally gave the Vikings some life by grabbing a screen pass for a 32-yard gain and then pivoting to haul in sideline pass over his shoulder for an 18-yard touchdown catch. But Peterson, who was having no trouble reaching the Tampa Bay secondary with almost every run through the line, had the ball stripped after a spin move by the veteran Barber. The Bucs got the ball at the Minnesota 37, and Williams made a tricky catch in the corner of the end zone for a 3-yard score and a 20-7 lead.

The Buccaneers won only two of new coach Greg Schiano’s first six games, but all four of their losses were by seven points or less. So here was their chance to finally enjoy a comfortable victory, setting up a second half that was just as eventful as the first.

Martin caught a screen pass and sped straight through the Vikings, escaping Chad Greenway’s tackle and not stopping until he reached the end zone.

The Bucs used a three-and-out by the Vikings to add three more points and stretch the lead to 30-10.

Peterson made up for his earlier fumble, though, by matching Martin’s big play with one of his own, sprung by a pancake block from Simpson to reach the end zone and bring the Vikings back in it.

But Tampa Bay, after blowing a 21-7 lead in losing to New Orleans last week, finished strong this time.

“Guys are getting more comfortable with what we’re doing and with each other,” said Schiano, the former Rutgers coach. “We’re getting better and that’s what you’re supposed to do.”

NOTES: Peterson finished with 123 yards on 15 carries. ... The Bucs is 4-13 in their history on the road in prime-time games. ... Harvin had 90 yards on seven catches. ... Tampa Bay has won six in a row in the series, last losing to Minnesota here in 2001.

Deadline to save full season passes, no new discussions take place NHL LABOUR TALKS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The NHL’s deadline for playing a full, 82-game season arrived Thursday with no new discussions between the league and its locked-out players.

Without a new collective bargaining agreement that would end the league’s lockout of players on its 40th day, the NHL vowed to cut the season short.

An announcement officially taking a full schedule out of play wasn’t immediately planned.

Major money-making events such as the upcoming outdoor Winter Classic and the All-Star game could soon be in peril, too.

“No contact, and I don’t anticipate any announcements today,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Associated Press in an email Thursday.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman already painted a pessimistic picture on Wednesday, saying at a news conference for the Islanders’ move to Brooklyn that, “Unfortunately, it looks like an 82-game season is not going to be a reality.”

The league has already cancelled all 135 scheduled games through Nov. 1, but the thought was those could be rescheduled if a deal was reached by the end of Thursday and play started Nov. 2.

In making its most recent offer to the players, the NHL presented a proposal that included a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenues.

But that was contingent on the sides making the Thursday deadline and getting the season under way following a week of training camp.

The union responded with three counterproposals, all of which would get the sides to a 5050 deal, but the league rejected them quickly because they didn’t work off the NHL’s offer.

Talks then broke down, and the NHL turned down the union’s offer to return to the table this week with no preconditions. The union wants anything and everything open to discussion.

The league’s position is if the players’ association isn’t willing to negotiate off the NHL’s offer — which Bettman has called the league’s best — or make a counteroffer using that proposal as a framework, then there is no sense in meeting just to meet.

“The fact of the matter is there are just sometimes that you need to take time off because it’s clear that you can’t do anything to move the process forward,” Bettman said.

“We’re at one of those points right now because we gave our very best offer. That offer, for better or for worse, was contingent on playing an 82-game season. So I think things actually in some respects may get more difficult.”

NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr said Wednesday night that the league’s deadline was bogus.

“We are and continue to be ready to meet to discuss how to resolve our remaining differences, with no preconditions. For whatever reason, the owners are not,” he said. “At the same time they are refusing to meet, they are winding the clock down to yet another artificial deadline they created.”

There is a major divide between the sides over how to deal with existing player contracts.

The union wants to ensure that those are all paid in full without affecting future player contracts. Bettman expressed a willingness to discuss the “make whole” provisions on existing contracts, but only if the economic portions of the league’s offer are accepted first by the union.

Bettman refused to say whether the 50-50 split in the proposal would come off the table if a full season isn’t played.

“I’m not going to negotiate publicly,” he said.

This lockout, the third of Bettman’s tenure as commissioner, began Sept. 16. The 2004-05 season was lost in the last work stoppage.

Tate back on field for Stamps against Lions

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The result is meaningless, so the management and performance of certain players is the storyline of Friday’s CFL game between the Calgary Stampeders and B.C. Lions.

The Lions (12-4) and Stampeders (10-6) secured first and second respectively in the CFL’s West Division with victories last week.

The Stampeders host the division semifinal Nov. 11 with the victor heading to Vancouver on Nov. 18 for the West final.

So both clubs made personnel decisions for Friday’s game with the post-season in mind.

Stampeder quarterback Drew Tate gets back on the field for the first time since dislocating his left (non-throwing) shoulder in the second game of the regular season. When Tate underwent surgery in July, he wasn’t expected to return before the playoffs.

Head coach and general manager John Hufnagel says both Tate and Kevin Glenn will play in Calgary’s final home game of the regular season, which sets up a potential quarterbacking controversy en route to the playoffs.

Glenn, 33, led Calgary to a playoff berth during Tate’s absence.

“I’m a team guy, so I understand the bigger of picture of things and why they’re playing Drew and why both of us our playing,” Glenn said Thursday.

“If you’ve got two good quarterbacks, or quarterbacks who have shown they can win, you’ve got to make sure both of them are ready going into the playoffs.”

The Lions are handing Mike Reilly the ball for the second week in a row. Travis Lulay’s shoulder is still sore and there is no urgency for B.C.’s starting quarterback to play this week in what will be a chilly game at McMahon Stadium.

“He’s been trying to get loose, and yesterday the plan was to try and give it a go, but it was pretty cool back home and he couldn’t get warm,” Lions coach

Richardson back to all-star form with Alouettes RETRUNING TO 2012 NUMBERS AS INJURIES TO RECIEVERS MOUNT

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — At last, Jamel Richardson is piling up receiving yards like he did in his careerbest 2011 campaign.

The Montreal Alouettes slotback, who set a CFL record with 12 games of more than 100 receiving yards last season, got his first two 100-plus performances of the current season in the club’s last two games.

“There ain’t no need to get off to a hot start,” Richardson said Thursday. “You need it for the post-season. As people die down, I get stronger.”

The 30-year-old broke the ice with 109 yards on three catches, including a 75-yard touchdown, in a 24-12 win in Toronto on Oct. 14.

He topped that with eight grabs for 161 yards in a 34-28 victory in Saskatchewan last weekend. He’ll try to make it three in a row when they Alouettes play host to the Edmonton Eskimos on Sunday.

His previous best this year was 91 yards on Aug. 1 against Winnipeg.

After amassing 1,777 yards on a league-high 112 receptions last season, Richardson mused about topping 2,000 in 2012, but it hasn’t worked out that way.

He had knee trouble early in the season and missed three games, and even when healthy found himself in double coverage much of the time. A few uncharacteristic dropped balls didn’t help.

And quarterback Anthony Calvillo was finding other receivers open, so balls that used to go to Richardson were now providing career-high yardage for S.J. Green and Brandon London.

“We’ve been calling lots of plays for (Richardson) the entire season and it’s just one of those things where I’ve been going to a different guy because of the de-

get it to the six-foot-three veteran when possible.

“I felt if I got the ball more I could help,” said Richardson.

“Right now, the team’s leaning on me and I’m excited about it.

“Football’s fun for me right now. The team’s playing at a very high level. And I’m excited about the bye week we have coming up after clinching the East Division.”

The recent flurry left Richardson with 57 catches for 954 yards, only 46 yards short of a fifth straight 1,000-yard campaign.

Coach Marc Trestman is glad to see him step up.

“He’s been very productive the last two weeks,” Trestman said.

“He’s got to continue to be productive and everybody around him has to continue to grow and get better.

“We don’t want to be a one dimensional throwing team. We have to continue to improve our offence because we have so many new guys working with AC right now.”

The 10-6 Alouettes clinched first place with the win in Toronto and didn’t let up in Saskatchewan.

The Eskimos need a win to claim at least a cross-over playoff spot, which would eliminate Winnipeg and Hamilton.

Most of the talk this week was about fines levied against middle linebacker Shea Emry for a hit below the belt to Saskatchewan lineman Brendon Labatte, and to rush end John Bowman for publicly criticizing an opponent.

Emry, who missed practice Wednesday while his hearing with the CFL was conducted by phone, said he was relieved to escape suspension.

The team’s defence already took a hit this week with news that veteran Rod Davis would miss at least the final two regular season games with a foot injury.

fence,” said Calvillo. “Right now, teams are playing him man-toman.

“Toronto bracketed him a bit, but Saskatchewan did not and it created opportunities for him. He did a great job of running routes and being physical like he did last year. You can tell he’s enjoying the moment right now and we have to continue to feed him the ball.”

The key for Richardson is that he is getting hot when the rest of the offence is being whacked by injuries.

Starting running back Brendon Whitaker and backup his Victor Anderson are both out, along with Green, who is out one more week with a concussion, and London, who is out for the year with a knee injury.

Richardson and Brian Bratton are the only two healthy veterans among the receivers, which has forced some adjustments to the game plan and the roster.

Bo Bowling, Lavasier Tuinei and Noel Devine have been in at receiver, while Canadian Eric Deslauriers is seeing more action and rookie fullback Patrick Lavoie is being used more out of the backfield.

“It’s very demanding because the verbiage we use is different,” added Calvillo. “It’ll be a tough week to make sure I know who is going to line up where.

“But our coaches have done a great job of adjusting to the personnel we have with the injuries we’ve had. That creates a different match-up for the (opponent’s) defence because now they have to worry about a three tight-end set with two receivers and all these other things.”

Before the Toronto game, Richardson said he wanted more passes to come his way. Calvillo has insisted he won’t force the ball through coverage to him, but will

hands warm and let the rest worry about itself. As long as you can grip the ball fine and your head and ears are warm so you can think, things will be all right.”’

The Stampeders have won two in a row and can thank their defence for a 34-32 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in wintry conditions last week. Calgary turned the ball over seven times in that game, including four interceptions on Glenn.

“My biggest disappointment from that game was bad football by the offence,” Hufnagel said.

“I’d like to see improvement by my football team.

With Drew, once he gets on the field, (I’d like) to see him being Drew Tate, a comfortable quarterback making plays and executing the game plan.”

B.C. has beaten Calgary in their two previous meetings this season — a 27-22 win on Oct. 6 and a 348 thumping back on July 28.

Stampeder defensive back Keon Raymond was the hero of last week’s win with a pair of sacks and a 100-yard touchdown interception. He concedes the Lions may have had better quality practices this week because they haven’t had to run around in the cold.

“But it all changes once you come out here,” Raymond said. “This is a different element out here.

This is the tundra.

“They haven’t experienced it yet.”

Calgary concludes the regular season against Edmonton next week. The Lions finish up at home against Saskatchewan and then rest the week of the division semifinal.

Notes — Calgary’s Jon Cornish is 132 yards from passing Norm Kwong’s record for the most rushing yards in a single season by a Canadian running back. . .

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers need to extend one streak and snap another Saturday to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

The Bombers are in Hamilton on Saturday for the final game at Ivor Wynne Stadium.

Winnipeg hasn’t lost a regular-season game to the Ticats since Aug. 13, 2010 — a streak of five contests — leaving quarterback Buck Pierce unsure as to why.

“I don’t know, I think it’s just one of those things,” he said Thursday. “We have the confidence level when we go in and play against them.

“It seems like we execute well and we match up well against them.

Their offence is a bigplay offence and that kind of puts the pressure on our offence to stay on the field a little bit longer.”

Actually, Winnipeg has won its last six straight against Hamilton, the other victory being a 19-3 decision over the Ticats in last year’s East Division final.

But Winnipeg (5-11) hasn’t managed consecutive wins all season and is coming off an impressive 44-32 victory in Toronto last week. The Bombers last recorded back-to-back wins Aug. 26, 2011, the second victory, coincidentally, coming against Hamilton.

Pierce is just as puzzled trying to explain that streak as well.

“Lack of consistency, lack of focus would be my guesses,” he said.

“Maybe too much confidence going in after a win.”

Whatever the answer, now would be a good time to find it. Hamilton (5-11) and Winnipeg are scrapping over the same bone — the last playoff spot in the East Division.

But also in the mix are the Edmonton Eskimos (7-9), who sit poised to take that bone with just one more win. That would ensure a team from the West Division crossing over and taking the final East Division playoff berth.

Edmonton plays Montreal on Sunday and both Hamilton and Winnipeg can only hope the Alouettes, who have already secured first place in the East, will want to play hard regardless.

“One of us is going to be out and one of us is going to be in it for at least 24 hours,” said interim Bombers head coach Tim Burke, adding if he could he’d ask Als quarterback Anthony Calvillo play this week and sit out the next one.

Winnipeg plays Montreal next week in the fi-

nal regular-season game for both.

Burke says the stakes are different for Montreal on Sunday but he’s counting on the Alouettes wanting to keep their momentum going.

“Montreal doesn’t have to win, Edmonton does, but . . I know (Als head coach) Marc Trestman real well and I think he’ll have those guys ready to play this week,” Burke said. “He does not want to go into the playoffs with a negative. . . He wants to go in with momentum.”

Since Burke was promoted from defensive coordinator at mid-season to replace Paul LaPolice, he has tried to change the atmosphere in the Bomber dressing room.

Too much pressure on a team can be counterproductive, he has said.

“We brought it up briefly at the beginning of the week, what our situation was,” he said. “My message will still be let’s go out there and play for the love of the game and have fun.”

The Bombers have continued to make changes, however, in particular to bolster a defence that Burke feels has been one of the weakest links lately.

The move of Johnny Sears to strongside linebacker is the latest. He’s the third player in as many games to fill the slot and the fifth this season, although the change this time is because of injury to Demond Washington.

Mike Benevides explained. “Obviously we’ve got to get him to play as soon as we can. Certainly next week he’s got to get some snaps for sure so that we gain some of the rhythm back.”

Thomas DeMarco will be Reilly’s backup. Also, receiver Geroy Simon comes back into B.C.’s lineup after sitting out three games with a hamstring injury.

Friday’s game is a chance for both Tate and Simon to shake off rust in a low-stakes game.

“I haven’t played in a number of weeks, so I’m just looking to get back on the field and get some timing with the quarterbacks and get back in the flow of playing,” said Simon, the CFL’s all-time receiving leader.

Tate wrestled Calgary’s starting job away from Henry Burris late last season, prompting the trade of Burris to Hamilton in January. The 28-year-old Tate says Hufnagel hasn’t indicated how much he’ll play Friday.

“I don’t care how many reps I get. All I care about is the reps I do get,” Tate said.

“I know once I get on that field, the only thing that matters is moving the chains and putting the ball in the end zone. I look at it myself as when I get on that field, we’re going to make something happen regardless if I’m the backup, starter or third team.”

The Lions are winners of three in a row, including last week’s 39-19 win at home over Edmonton. Reilly was 19-for-28 in passing for 278 yards and a pair of touchdowns in his first CFL start.

The Central Washington product spent time on the practice roster of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers during his career and counts Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers among his friends.

With scattered flurries and a temperature of -10 C forecasted for Friday’s game, Reilly has queried Rodgers about playing on frigid Lambeau Field.

“I talk to him every couple of weeks and just keep in touch,” Reilly said. “I figured if I’m going to ask somebody how to play in the snow, that’s probably the best guy to ask.

Woods in the hunt at CIMB Classic

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — It was hot, humid and his putts were lipping out. Tiger Woods felt like he’d been run over halfway through his first round in Malaysia since winning the 1999 World Cup on the same course.

Only one way to fix that: The 14-time major winner rolled in five birdies on the back nine on Thursday and finished with a 5-under 66 to trail first-round leader Troy Matteson by three shots.

Matteson had eight birdies in his 63 to take a one-stroke lead over fellow Americans Jeff Overton, Brian Harman and Robert Garrigus.

Woods, in the last pairing with Australia’s Marcus Fraser, knew the numbers to target early in his round. After birdies at the third and fifth holes, Woods missed two short putts for par at the eighth and ninth and seemed frustrated, frequently wiping his face and neck with a white towel and glaring after the balls that didn’t drop in the cup.

Knowing it was going to take a total of something like 20 under to win the tournament on the 6,909-yard Mines Resort and Golf Club course, Woods decided the only way back into contention was to be aggressive.

“It’s a different type of mindset,” he said. “Going out there and shooting even par on that front nine, I just felt like I got run over.”

He said midway through the round he wasn’t bothered by the stifling humidity and 91 degree, or narrowly missing two birdie attempts before the two putts for par lipped out.

“What is frustrating is turning at even par and I’m eight back,” he said.

“Three- or four-under par was my number on the back nine — if I could shoot that, I’m still right in the ballgame. I happened to get one more, which was a bonus.”

Woods knew he could have shot a score that would have put him higher than tied for seventh — he even missed a birdie putt from about 10 feet on the 18th — but he was happy with how he hit his driver and was generally pleased with his game.

“I really started hitting the ball quite well at the end of the front nine. I happened to miss two short putts ... but also the two putts I hit were good putts at 8 and 9.” he said. “Realistically it could have been seven or eight (under). But even at the turn, and to still post five (under), it was a nice little comeback.

“It’s going to take 20-plus this week to win the tournament, so I’ve got to be aggressive and we’ve got to go get it.”

A lightning and thunderstorm started dumping rain on the course less than an hour after play ended and, with the forecast for more rain on Friday, organizers decided to move tee times ahead by 40 minutes in the second round.

Americans held five of the top six spots, with Tom Gilles behind the leading four after a 65. He was tied at 6 under with India’s Gaganjeet Bhullar, who made an eagle on the par-5 17th and had the lowest score among the Asian Tour players.

“These are the only few weeks where we get to play with these (PGA Tour) guys,” Bhullar said. “It really motivates us, and I think it is very important for Asian Tour players that somebody should go up and make it interesting. You never know, it could be an Asian Tour player’s week.”

The group tied with Woods at 5 under included Malaysian qualifier Danny Chia, Australia’s Greg Chalmers, South African Jbe’ Kruger and Americans J.B Holmes and Ricky Barnes.

Matteson had missed the cut in his last two PGA Tour starts and had failed to break par in any of his last four competitive rounds. But he posted his lowest score since a 61 at the John Deere Classic in July,

Tiger Woods of the United States lines up a putt on the first hole during the round one of CIMB Classic golf tournament at the Mines Resort and Golf Club in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Thursday. when he finished second after a playoff in his best result of the season.

He had birdies on Nos. 2, 3, 6 and 11 and finished with four straight, closing his round by holing his third shot from the greenside bunker on the par-4 18th.

“The pin is really tricky on 18. I knew I’d be doing good if I could leave myself seven or eight feet for par, and it bounced and slam-dunked in the hole,” Matteson said.

“That’s the first time all year the ball has managed to hit the pin and stay in the hole.”

Overton, who last year set the tournament record low round with a 62 and finished runner-up here, had a bogey-free 64 that included an eagle on the drivable 292-yard 15th, the shortest par 4 on the course.

“All of a sudden I made about a 20-footer for eagle, basically drove the green, and when that went in it was really exciting,” he said. “It was just an allaround fun day.”

The co-sanctioned $6.1 million CIMB Classic doesn’t count as an official U.S. PGA tournament this year, but will be added to the schedule in 2013.

Elvis hoping to leave as MFC champion MFC title contender Elvis (The King) Mutapcic can thank his forgetful father for his name.

Living in Bosnia at the time, his parents were both Elvis Presley fans but his dad was also a huge Bruce Lee buff.

When his second son was on the way, Mr. Mutapcic wanted to name him after Brandon Lee, Bruce’s son.

“Which was very uncommon for a Bosnian name,” Elvis explained.

“There is no such thing in Bosnia as the name of Brandon.”

Which might explain why Mr. Mutapcic could not think of the name when it came time to register it.

“The next best thing he could think of was Elvis, so I got named after Elvis Presley,” said his son.

Years later — and after having to dig into his pocket many times to produce the ID that proves his name is legit — Elvis Mutapcic wants to add champion to his name.

Mutapcic (11-2) faces unbeaten Joseph (Leonidas) Henle on Friday in Edmonton for a Maximum Fighting Championship middleweight crown that has gathered dust in recent years.

Amazingly, the last time the 185-pound title was up for grabs was at MFC 9 in March 2006.

Patrick (The Predator) Cote defeated Jason (The Athlete) MacDonald but then left the organization to take part in Season 4 of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality show.

The championship belt has been without a home since.

Henle (8-0-1) was featured on Season 11 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” defeating future UFC fighter Constantinos Philippou before losing to Seth Baczynski.

Henle did not stick with the UFC but has won five straight with one draw since leaving the show.

“On a skill (level) from one to 10, he’s definitely a high nine,” said Mutapcic. “He’s a well-rounded guy, tough, comes forward. He won’t stop until you shut him off or put him to sleep.”

Henle, 29, has never lost. Mutapcic, 26, has never been finished.

Mutapcic (pronounced Moo-tap-cheech) believes his experience will make the difference in the five-round bout, having fought and won a title before.

“When you’re in those deep waters and you’ve got to dig deep, I’ve been there,” Mutapcic said.

“I’ve been in wars. I’ve been in sports where you’ve lost your lockerroom and you don’t remember that fifth round.

“I’ve been there. I think that’s an advantage for me.”

Mutapcic defeated Mike Van Meer in November 2009 for the Midwest Cage Combat championship. He has gone 6-1 since, defeating future TUF Brazil winner Cezar (Mutante) Ferreira along the way.

Mutapcic disposed of the Brazilian with a brutal left, ending the fight in just 25 seconds in August 2011.

A knee injury cost him a shot at the Superior Cage Combat title last November.

Mutapcic and Henle both made their MFC debuts in August at MFC 34. They each collected first-round wins, with Mutapcic stopping Jacen Flynn via TKO in 1:39 and Henle earning a TKO over submission specialist Luke Harris at 1:57.

Mutapcic was 14 when he left Sarajevo with his family in search of a better life. Leaving a ravaged post-war country behind them, they settled in Iowa where an uncle sponsored them.

Growing up in Bosnia, his memories are bleak.

“Wartime. Hunger.

Fear,” he recalled, But there were also plenty of dreams, both long- and short-term.

“I remember just wishing that I could

leave the house basement, go outside and play without fear of being shot at,” said Mutapcic, who has an older and

younger brother. “It was definitely a rough experience growing up but it was something I wouldn’t change for the world.”

son, Jon Finnigan, Tanner Howe, Justin Corbett and Colton Weseen scored once each for the Vipers.

Brenden Mandrusiak made 18 saves for the win.

Cole Levesque had two goals and Nick Keouhan a goal and two assists for Ponoka.

Eli Falls and Aaron Swier combined for 46 in the Ponoka goal.

JUNIOR B HOCKEY PONOKA — The Red Deer Vipers spread the offence around as they downed the Ponoka Stampeders 9-3 in Heritage Junior B Hockey League play Wednesday.

RED DEER PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD JOINS CONSORTIUM TO BUY WIND-GENERATED POWER

BY LAURA TESTER ADVOCATE STAFF A wind power project that would provide electricity to a number of Alberta schools has also been endorsed by Red Deer Public School District.

The school board supported on Wednesday the Bull Creek Wind Power project located in East-Central Alberta.

The district has been investigating the potential of being part of a consortium of school jurisdictions that would enter into an agreement.

The board committed to buy electricity for a 25-year period.

Depending on the capacity of the turbine selected, the project will use up to 46 wind turbines to generate clean, renewable power.

Board chairman Lawrence Lee said this project near Provost would only be able to

go ahead if it received participation from a number of school districts.

The wind power will be provided at a guaranteed rate.

“We can’t disclose the rate at this point because they haven’t finalized all the details in terms of how many boards would be participating,” said Lee. “But it would be competitive to the Enmax rate.”

Lee said the board doesn’t anticipate electricity will be cheaper in 25 years.

Two school boards in Southern Alberta experienced cost-savings when they got involved in a wind power project, Lee added.

“So that’s why the school board has supported it — even though no one has a crystal ball to say they know where power is going to be in 25 years,” said Lee. “It’s good to give that consistency and stability to our school jurisdiction.”

Lee, along with trustee Diane Macaulay, voted against the motion.

Lee said his main concern was around

what could happen in five years and whether there could be alternative technologies.

He referred to Hunting Hills High School, which just put up a solar panel.

While it will serve just a portion of the power that’s needed, Lee said it’s just one set of panels.

“What would it look like if technology came into place and there was a new alternative?” said Lee. “We would still be locked into that contract, but maybe our consumption would be less, so it would still work out.”

In other school board news: ● The school district will support the City of Red Deer’s bid to host the 2019 Canada Winter Games. ● The board will request two modular classrooms for Normandeau and West Park elementary schools, but the outcome will depend on all the requests the province receives for the 2013-2014 school year. ltester@reddeeradvocate.com

Wolf Creek drainage plan eyed by county

SWIMMERS ON DECK

Waiting for instruction on the pool deck, Grade 2 and 3 students from Ecole Mountview Elementary in Red Deer watch instructor Morgan Akins as she explains a relay exercise they will be doing at the Recreation Centre on Thursday. It was last of six pool session in the Swim At School Program this fall. The program offers varying levels of instruction, from beginner to more advanced, during school hours.

Fluoride’s fate: will voters or city council decide?

Removing or adjusting the amount of fluoride in Red Deer water will come down to a plebiscite or council vote.

On Monday, city council will decide which route to go to make a decision.

If councillors opt for a plebiscite, they must consider whether it will be in conjunction with the next municipal election in October 2013 or be done as a standalone vote.

A standalone vote would cost between $100,000 and $150,000. Holding a plebiscite as part of the next election would cost $5,000.

Should council itself choose to make the decision on fluoride’s fate, the bylaw would have to be addressed at another meeting.

The decision will come after public hearings, guest speakers and online information gathering.

Flooding along Wolf Creek has prompted concerns that it may be at capacity and not able to handle the runoff from future developments, Lacombe County council heard on Thursday.

To ensure that the creek and Whelp Brook can channel more storm water runoff, Alberta Environment has suggested that a master drainage plan be commissioned by municipalities in the area.

The plan would assess environmental concerns, future drainage requirements and flood protection levels. Once the remaining drainage capacity has been established, municipalities would each be assigned a share.

The study would also look at what could be done to improve drainage in the creek and brook.

Lacombe County commissioner Terry Hager said if the drainage plan isn’t done, future developers would be required to undertake their own storm water studies and their potential to add to flooding problems.

Given the amount of work required and the Alberta Environment approval process, new developments could face lengthy one-to-two-year waits to get their water management approvals.

Hager said the fear is that future development might be stalled.

“The development of a master drainage plan would establish criteria and standards that each development would have to adhere to and streamline the approval process,” says Hager in his report to council.

A master drainage plan is expected to cost $150,000 to $200,000 to complete and Lacombe County will be looking to share costs with other municipalities, such as the City of Lacombe and Ponoka County.

Council unanimously approved a motion authorizing staff to develop terms of reference and come up with cost estimates for the drainage plan. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Centrium expansion project set back again An additional 1,000 spectator seats in the Centrium will be installed by mid-November, says an official with Westerner Park.

John Harms, chief executive officer and general manager, said on Thursday that their September plans were to see those seats in place by the end of October.

There was a slight delay in shipping, which means this part of the project has been delayed by a couple of weeks, Harms said.

The seats are now at customs in Calgary

New ambulance deal approved Lacombe County has approved an agreement to allow Alberta Health Services to use the ambulance station in Eckville.

The province took over ambulance service in the Eckville area last month.

To accommodate their operations, the province wants to lease the Eckville Emergency Services Facility from the town and Lacombe County.

Since a lease must be approved by the minister of Health, which will take some time, an interim use and occupation agreement is needed.

Lacombe County and Eckville jointly own the emergency services facility.

Council approved the agreement on Thursday. Eckville has already approved the deal.

Central Alberta men can participate in the month-long annual fundraiser for men’s health issues by growing moustaches and other facial hair.

The November event to raise awareness of prostate cancer and funds to fight it began in Australia in 2004 and has spread to about 20 other countries, raising nearly $42 million in Canada last year and more than $120 million globally so far. It has grown to also fund programs surrounding men’s mental health issues.

Women can get involved through Mo Sistas by raising funds themselves and encouraging men to participate.

Men must begin November clean shaven and not connect their moustaches to any other facial hair.

Steve Snelgrove and his hockey team the Red Deer Pylons have participated for five years. They’re working on plans for a month-end party at Chillabongs Bar and Grill.

Headstones at the Alto Reste Cemetery east of Red Deer were vandalized recently. Police are asking for help to identify the culprits. viously at $2,500. The Crown consented to reducing that amount to $1,500, Kurata said on Thursday.

Represented by Red Deer lawyer Paul Morigeau, Ryan is to enter a plea in Coronation provincial court on Nov. 9.

Two men face charges after drugs, weapons found Two Red Deer area residents were arrested after a stash of illegal drugs, cash, bear spray and a bat were seized from a truck on Red Deer’s south side on Tuesday.

Red Deer city RCMP, along with assistance from a specialized unit from Calgary, arrested a man and woman at about 6:30 p.m.

The Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN) unit alerted RCMP about someone in a pickup truck trafficking drugs in the south end of Red Deer.

SCAN first noticed the vehicle while conducting surveillance of a home in Inglewood.

Police say that SCAN is a unit that’s part of Calgary ALERT (Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team).

RCMP conducted a traffic stop, finding a large quantity of cash, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, Oxycodone and marijuana. Bear spray and a bat were also located in the vehicle.

The truck’s passenger, Brian Randell Buxton, 31, of Red Deer and pickup truck driver, Summer Brook Kreiser, 29, of Sylvan Lake, were arrested.

Buxton was charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Kreiser was charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, three counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession of property obtained by crime, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and failing to comply with an undertaking.

Buxton was held in custody and was set to appear in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday. Kreiser was released and ordered to appear in court on Thursday as well. They will both be back in court on Nov. 15. Buxton will be out of custody once he puts up $1,500 cash bail.

SCAN is a unit comprised of Alberta sheriffs whose goal is to observe properties where criminal activity negatively affects the health, safety or security of one or more persons in the community or neighbourhood or interferes with the peaceful enjoyment of one or more properties in the community or neighbourhood.

A City of Red Deer cemetery was vandalized less than two weeks before Halloween, and Red Deer RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance in continuing with the investigation.

Police said 30 to 40 headstones and monuments were deliberately damaged, with some being kicked over, at the Alto Reste Cemetery, 3.6 km east of Red Deer on Hwy 11.

Sometime between Oct. 16 and 23, the monuments were vandalized by more than one individual, police believe.

According to an RCMP release, the damage done to the cemetery is believed to be substantial, but the exact estimate of the damage is unknown.

Investigators ask that anyone with information regarding this crime contact Red Deer City RCMP at 403-3435575.

CHINESE BAFFLED BY CONCERNS OVER NEXEN DEAL THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Chinese government officials and business people don’t know what rules Canada is using to evaluate the proposed takeover of an oilsands producer by the state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation, says a top oil expert from Beijing.

“I think the Chinese government people don’t understand,” said Lianyong Feng, dean of economics at the China Petroleum University and a former executive with the China National Petroleum Corporation.

But Feng said that even if the takeover of Nexen (TSX:NXY) doesn’t go through, Chinese interest in Canadian resources and oil companies is unlikely to fade.

“Success or fail, I think it will have no impact on Chinese companies in the future to do business with Canadian oilsands,” Feng said.

Feng was in Edmonton on Thursday to speak at a conference on the oilsands at Grant MacEwan University.

After his presentation, he discussed the controversial $15.1-billion Nexen deal and the scrutiny it has provoked in an interview with The Canadian Press.

He said Chinese understand that political decisionmaking takes longer in Canada.

“In Canada, there are more stakeholders,” he said with the occasional help of a translator.

“Central governments and local people have different opinions and different interests.

“I understand the difficulty to make decisions in Canada.

You have to wait the time.”

What they don’t understand is what the Canadian government is looking for as it decides whether or not the Nexen deal can proceed.

“They don’t know very well how (Canadians) evaluate the business deal. Maybe it is a problem but I think we can understand it in the future.”

New homes getting protection ALBERTA GOVERNMENT INTRODUCES LEGISLATION FOR WARRANTY ON NEW HOMES, COULD BOOST HOUSE PRICES

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR The Alberta government has introduced legislation that would make warranty protection on new homes mandatory — and likely boost the price of an average house by $1,700 to $2,000.

If passed, the New Home Buyer Protection Act would require home builders to guarantee their labour and materials for one year, and two years in the case of problems related to delivery and distribution systems like plumbing and heating.

It would also mandate a fiveyear warranty on building envelopes, with extended protection available if home buyers wish to purchase it. Finally, major structural components would require 10 years of coverage.

Speaking in front of a newly constructed home in Edmonton on Thursday, Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths said the legislation would increase the accountability of builders and warranty providers, with clear standards and guidelines.

Most builders currently provide one-year warranties on materials and labour, and five years of coverage in the case of major structural components.

Griffiths pointed out that this isn’t standardized, and Alberta’s hot economy and skilled labour shortage increases the risk of problems.

The minister thinks most buyers will happily pay the resulting increased purchase price for the peace of mind it will give them.

“With the average home price being over $300,000, this looks to be a fraction of a percentage of the cost of a new home.”

The new act is expected to

The provincial government introduced legislation on Thursday that would impose mandatory warranty protection on new homes. come into effect next fall. It would apply to single-detached homes, as well as condominiums, modular homes, mobile homes and dwellings on recreational properties.

The warranty requirements would not apply to homes constructed by builders for their own occupancy, unless they sell them during the warranty period. Three other provinces already have mandatory home warranty programs: British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

But Griffiths thinks Alberta’s

proposed coverage is superior.

“We are offering the most comprehensive, strongest protection for people who build new homes.”

The government is also seeking to strengthen the enforcement of building codes in Alberta. It wants to increase the limitation period for penalties for non-compliance to three years from six months. The maximum penalty for first-time offenders would jump to $100,000 from $15,000, and for a second offence the top fine would be-

come $500,000, up from $30,000.

Dan Ouwehand, past-president of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association — Central Alberta, said earlier this month that his organization supports mandatory new home warranty protection. He pointed out that CHBA members are already required to provide warranty protection, and that the organization provided input to the government while it was preparing the new legislation. hrichards@reddeeradvocate. com

Northwestern hoping to add Committee being formed new routes to deal with clubroot LACOMBE COUNTY

AIRLINE HAS PROPOSAL IN FOR PASSENGER SERVICE FROM RED DEER TO ABBOTSFORD AND FORT ST. JOHN, B.C.

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Northwestern Air Lease Ltd. is looking to extend its reach from Red Deer, with proposals for new passenger routes to Abbotsford and Fort St. John, B.C., currently before Transport Canada.

Brian Harrold, Northwestern’s general manager, said his company is awaiting approval from the national air traffic regulator. It would like to implement both routes as soon as possible, he said.

“In a perfect world, we’d be running now.”

The Fort Smith, N.W.T.-based airline currently offers twice-weekly service between the Red Deer Airport and Kelowna, B.C. It also flies from the Central Alberta airport to Fort McMurray and back, twice a week. The latter route was launched on Oct. 1.

Northwestern flew between Red Deer and Dawson Creek, B.C., but suspended that service at the beginning of September. It plans to resume those flights and continue them on to Fort St. John, once Transport Canada approval is received, said Harrold.

He thinks an Abbotsford connection would appeal to local residents with family or business interests in Vancouver.

“It’s close enough that a cab isn’t that horrible to Vancouver, but it’s far enough out that it’s easy for us to get in and out of there with a smaller airplane,” said Harrold. “We’re not fighting with Air Canada and WestJet and everyone else.”

Northwestern has been discounting its Red Deer fares during the month of October, with one-way tickets to or from Kelowna selling for $159, and to or from Fort McMurray for $199 — inclusive of all fees and taxes. The regular prices are $270.90 and $343.35 respectively.

The airline plans to extend the sale with respect to its Kelowna route, until Dec. 15. However, the discounted price will only be available on four seats per flight.

Terry Harrold, Brian’s father and the president of Northwestern, said the response to the sale has been good, particularly in the case of Kelowna travellers.

“We’ve had quite a few people travelling in the last two weeks.”

Travel to and from Fort McMurray has also picked up, he added. That’s convinced Northwestern to offer direct flights from Fort McMurray to Red Deer, effective Nov. 4.

Currently, that route includes a stop in Edmonton, although flights from Red Deer to Fort McMurray are direct.

“I think we’re getting enough people now that it will sustain a direct flight,” said Brian Harrold.

Northwestern currently flies from the Red Deer Airport to Kelowna and back on Fridays and Sundays. Service between Red Deer and Fort McMurray is available Mondays and Fridays.

The airline uses 15-seat Jetstream 32 aircraft. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

Lacombe County plans to recruit local farmers to help review how the municipality should respond when clubroot is found in canola fields.

Acting on a recommendation from its committee of the whole, council on Thursday approved a motion to form an ad hoc committee to review the clubroot policy. The committee would include all of council and, it is hoped, two producers from each of the county’s seven divisions.

The county has got off lightly so far with only three fields testing positive for mild infestations of the disease that has been spreading across the province. No fields tested positive this past season.

While it has not been a pressing problem yet, the county wants to ensure its clubroot policy reflects the latest scientific data on the disease, which causes the roots of canola plants to mutate and swell, eventually killing the plant.

Coun. Dana Kreil said she’s heard from local producers who want to know more about clubroot risks.

The county first developed a canola policy in 2008 and updated it in 2011.

Under the existing policy, once clubroot is discovered in a field, the farmer must not plant canola there for five years — four years if clubroot-resistant

seed is used.

However, not all municipalities handle clubroot the same way and crop rotations can vary.

“The issue of seed is a huge issue.

Resistant seed is hard to get,” said Coun. Rod McDermand.

There is also question about whether an entire quarter section needs to taken out of canola production when clubroot is found.

“Scientifically, you don’t have a real good reason to say it should be 160 acres,” said McDermand.

There is also some debate about what crop rotation is required.

Fencing has proven effective, but not all farmers deal with their infestations the same way. In Lacombe County, one producer fenced off his infested area, but another planted a different crop and continued farming.

The committee is expected to come back with an updated clubroot policy by the end of the year. Early next year, information meetings will be organized for area farmers.

In Central Alberta, clubroot has also been found in Red Deer, Ponoka, Stettler, Flagstaff and Camrose counties.

As of November 2011, clubroot was found in 20 of the province’s 69 counties. The disease was found in four more municipalities this year, including the County of Stettler. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Enbridge transfers $1.16 billion of renewable assets, storage THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Pipeline giant Enbridge Inc. is transferring $1.16 billion in storage and renewable energy assets to its affiliate.

Enbridge Income Fund Holdings (TSX:ENF) is acquiring oil storage facilities in Hardisty, Alta., that can hold about 11 million barrels of crude above and below ground. The fund is also buying The Greenwich Wind Project near Thunder Bay, Ont., and the Amherstburg and Tilbury solar projects near Sarnia, Ont. As a result of the deal, Enbridge Inc.’s economic interest in Enbridge

Income Fund Holdings will decrease from 69.2 per cent to 67.8 per cent.

“The prospect of acquiring this portfolio of assets is exciting,” said John Whelen, president of the fund.

He said the facilities would be a “great fit” as they are underpinned by long-term fixed-price contracts and are sheltered from commodity price and foreign exchange swings.

“If approved by shareholders, the transaction would substantially scale up and further diversify the fund’s sources of low risk cash flow, reinforcing its value to investors seeking a steady and predictable payout of

cash flow from low-risk energy infrastructure assets,” said Whelen.

Related to the acquisition, Enbridge Income Fund Holdings plans to raise $222.2 million through a bought-deal financing led by RBC Capital Markets and CIBC World Markets.

That will see it sell nearly 9.6 million subscription receipts at a price of $23.15. Those proceeds will be paid to Enbridge Inc. in cash, in addition to $582 million in debt, $305 million in additional Enbridge Commercial Trust units and $55 million in common shares.

Shareholders are set to vote on the transaction on December 7.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market snapped a four session losing run Thursday, led by gold sector gains in the wake of strong earnings reports from Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) and Agnico-Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM).

The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 105.2 points at 12,300.23 while traders also took earnings reports from a slew of other companies.

“A lot of the numbers that came out of Canada were reasonably in-line and positive and that’s certainly helping things,” said Colin Cieszynski, market analyst at CMC Markets Canada.

“So far, so good for Canada.”

The TSX Venture Exchange gained 16.8 points to 1,305.54.

The Canadian dollar was off early highs but closed up 0.1 of a cent to 100.61 cents US as markets also got a boost from data that showed Britain’s economy emerged from recession in the July-to-September quarter after a nine-month downturn.

U.S. indexes had started the session out strong amid a solid earnings report from U.S. multinational consumer products giant Procter & Gamble.

But gains faded as a report showed the number of Americans who signed contacts to buy homes rose only slightly last month, suggesting sales may level off in the coming months after solid gains in the past year.

The Dow Jones industrials were 26.34 points ahead to 13,103.68 as the National Association of Realtors said that its seasonally adjusted index of sales agreements rose in September to a reading of 99.5.

That’s up from August’s reading of 99.2 but below a two-year high of 101.9 reached in July.

Contracts are up 14.5 per cent from a year ago.

The index can signal where the housing market is headed because a signed contract usually results in a final sale one or two months later.

The Nasdaq gained 4.42 points to 2,986.12 and the S&P 500 index up 4.22 points to 1,412.97.

Markets had lost ground over the last few days as results from big American multinationals such as McDonald’s, DuPont chemical and conglomerates General Electric and 3M Inc. disappointed and reminded investors about how fragile economic conditions are overseas, particularly in Europe.

Analysts also see traders getting more cautious ahead of the U.S. election on Nov. 6 which is seen as too close to call.

Procter & Gamble said quarterly net income fell seven per cent to $2.81 billion, or 96 cents per share, down from $3.02 billion, or $1.03 per share, last year. Adjusted results of $1.06 a share beat expectations by a dime, however, and the world’s largest consumer products maker reiterated its annual guidance, sending its shares up 2.9 per cent to US$70.07.

The TSX gold sector rose about three per cent as December bullion gained $11.40 to US$1,713 an ounce and Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) posted a thirdquarter profit of US$498 million or 61 cents a share. Adjusted for one-time items, Goldcorp’s earnings were 54 cents per share, six cents better than estimates and its shares rose $2.81 to $43.60.

Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (TSX:AEM) bounded ahead $4.59 or just under nine per cent to $55.97 as it increased its production guidance for the year and it reported a better than expected third-quarter profit of US$106.3 million.

The TSX energy sector was up 0.8 per cent as oil prices firmed up after five days of losses, including a drop of almost $1 on Wednesday in the wake of data showing a much larger increase in crude inventories last week than had been expected.

The December contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange gained 32 cents to US$86.05 a barrel.

Oil and gas producer Nexen Inc. (TSX:NXY) said its net income fell to $59 million, or 11 cents per share in the third quarter from $200 million, or 38 cents per share a year ago due to lower cash flow and the impact of several non-recurring items.

Nexen also said it expected the $15.1-billion deal that would see it acquired by China National Offshore Oil Co. to be completed by the end of this year. Its shares added seven cents to $23.70.

Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX:CVE) says its net income fell by 43 per cent from a year ago to $289 million or 38 cents per share before adjustments, missing analyst estimates by a wide margin. But Cenovus’s cash flow, a more closely watched metric in the energy sector, rose by 41 per cent to $1.12 billion or $1.47 per share, 25 cents better than estimates. Its shares gained

Precision Drilling earnings fall in Q3 THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Precision Drilling Corp. thirdquarter profits dropped by more than half as customers with Canada’s biggest oil and gas services company tightened their spending.

The Calgary-based company (TSX:PD), which operates drilling rigs throughout Canada and the United States, said its net income fell to $39 million or 14 cents per share, down from $83 million or 29 cents per share in the third quarter of 2011. Precision’s revenue fell to $484.8 million from $492.9 million a year earlier.

“Customer demand for our services ebbed as our they have drilled deep into the 2012 budgets,” chief executive officer Kevin Neveu told a conference call with analysts Thursday. “Any spending additions that might have been anticipated failed to materialize as global economic concerns, political issues, oil transportation bottlenecks all caused our customers to hesitate when it came to increasing 2012 spending.”

Precision entered 2012 expecting to spend $1.14 billion, but has since reined its capital budget back to $921 million to adjust to the changing industry conditions, said chief financial officer Rob McNally.

“During the third

quarter, we, along with the rest of the North American oil service industry fought the headwinds of weak natural gas prices and (natural gas liquids) prices and volatile oil prices, which caused continued softening,” said McNally.

Customer service and careful pricing are priorities across Shaw Communications’ operations in fiscal 2013, CEO Brad Shaw said Thursday after the company reported a 20 per cent drop in quarterly profit.

The Calgary cable and media company has added staff to deliver better service and has “dramatically” reduced call waiting times, he said.

“We have applied more rigour and discipline to our pricing, customer acquisition strategies and marketing activities,” Brad Shaw said on a conference call.

“This strategy was evident in our financial results in the second half of the year and this will continue to be our focus in fiscal 2013,” Brad Shaw said on a conference call.

Other cable companies such as Rogers (RCI.B) and Quebecor’s Videotron (TSX:QBR.B) have also put an emphasis on customer service to help prevent customers from going to competitors.

Shaw Media operates Global Television and 19 specialty networks including HGTV Canada, Food Network Canada, History Television and Showcase and also offers high-speed Internet among its services.

In its 2013 outlook, the company said it anticipates modest growth in consolidated revenue and operating income before amortization.

It also plans to continue to enhance its network and launch a new satellite, Anik G. However, Shaw said it expects to reduce capital investments from 2012

levels and its free cash flow to be in line with the 2012 fiscal year, which ended in August.

Meanwhile, Shaw wouldn’t comment on whether it’s interested in buying any of Astral Media’s assets, should they come up for sale.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission recently nixed Bell’s (TSX:BCE) $3.4-billion deal to take over Astral Media, saying it wasn’t in the best interests of Canadians.

Bell has asked federal cabinet to intervene but so far it has shown little appetite to do so.

“It seemed to be somewhat more of a Bell-focused decision when you look at it, not so much against vertical integration in the industry...,” Brad Shaw said.

“It seemed me when you read into it, it seemed to be some of the things that Bell was dealing with more specifically than from an industry point of view.”

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission said if it had allowed the deal, BCE would have controlled almost 45 per cent of the English TV viewership, above its threshold of 35 per cent.

Bell disagrees, saying Bell and Astral combined would have an Englishlanguage TV market share of 33.5 per cent. The discrepancy arises because Bell includes U.S. competitors in the calculations, while the CRTC does not.

In its financial results, Shaw said its net income from continuing operations fell 20 per cent to $133 million in the fourth quarter ended Aug. 31.

Windows, iPads and more as tech companies unveil holiday products NEW YORK — As the holiday-shopping season approaches, Microsoft and Apple have scheduled major events this week to unveil new gadgets and software.

The Microsoft event Thursday will focus on Windows 8, a major update to its lucrative operating system. The new software will go on sale Friday, and PC manufacturers have a slew of desktops, laptops and tablet computers designed for it.

Apple, meanwhile, is expected to unveil a smaller iPad at an event in San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday. It comes just weeks after the launch of a new iPhone.

These are some of the gadgets to expect for the holidays:

APPLE DEVICES Apple has done well selling its full-sized tablet computer, which has a screen that measures nearly 10 inches diagonally. But companies such as Amazon. com Inc. and Google Inc. have made in-roads selling tablets with smaller, 7-inch screens and lower price tags.

Apple isn’t commenting on its plans. Tech bloggers and analysts expect that an “iPad Mini” — the name isn’t confirmed — will have a 7.85-inch screen. Estimates on prices vary.

Last month, Apple began selling its iPhone 5.

The new phone is bigger, but thinner than previous models and works with faster cellular networks known as 4G. Apple also updated its phone software and replaced Google Inc.’s mapping service for its own.

Apple’s maps app has been derided for inaccuracies and lack of features, prompting CEO Tim Cook to apologize.

Apple’s leading rival, Samsung Electronics Co., came out with a new version of its flagship phone, the Galaxy S III, months ago. But Samsung is known for releasing products throughout the year, each targeted at a different base of consumers. For those who like to work with a stylus, the Galaxy Note II smartphone is coming soon.

TABLET RIVALS

help them along by using a stylus to create stepping stones for the characters or stun enemies.

Players can also turn off the TV entirely and play on the GamePad. Nintendo Co. has been trying to drum up excitement for the Wii U, the first major gaming console to launch since 2006.

The company also announced new entertainment features for the console.

Westerner Park would like to thank all of our volunteers, staff, shareholders and stakeholders. It is because of each of you that we can proudly say, we are central Alberta’s “Destination for Celebration” and now, a Red Deer Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year winner!

CALLING ON WINDOWS Microsoft Corp. will release a new version of the Windows operating system on Friday, one that’s designed to work on both traditional computers and tablet devices.

Several PC manufacturers including Lenovo Group Ltd., HewlettPackard Co., Samsung Electronics Co. and Dell Inc. already have announced details about new desktops, laptops and tablet computers.

Microsoft plans its own tablet computer, too. It’s new territory for Microsoft, which typically leaves it to others to make devices using its software. Now, it will be competing against its partners. The Surface tablet will come in two versions, both with 10.6-inch screens, slightly larger than the iPad’s.

One model will run on the same type of lowerenergy chips used in the iPad. It will start at $499, also like the newest, fullsized iPads. A keyboard cover will cost another $100. That will go on sale Friday.

A heavier, more expensive version will run on Intel chips and be capable of running standard Windows applications. Microsoft hasn’t announced the date or price for that yet.

A new version of the Windows Phone system is coming out this fall as well. Once-dominant phone maker Nokia Corp. has been struggling in the shadow of Apple and Android, and it’s counting on the new Windows system for a revival. Nokia and Microsoft have unveiled two new devices, but few details are available on when and where they would go on sale.

NEW BLACKBERRYS A year ago, Research In Motion Ltd. disclosed that it was working on a next-generation phone system for the BlackBerry, which now looks ancient next to the iPhone and Android devices. It was supposed to be out in time for this year’s holiday season. That won’t happen.

In June, RIM pushed the release of BlackBerry 10 devices into early next year, saying it wasn’t ready. That means RIM will not only compete with the new iPhone and Android devices out this fall, but it will also have to contend with the new Windows devices.

PLAYING GAMES Nintendo’s new Wii U game machine will go on sale in the U.S. on Nov. 18. A basic, white model will cost $300. A deluxe black version for another $50 comes with an extra game and more accessories. The GamePad touch-screen controller for it will offer new ways to play.

In “New Super Mario Bros. U.,” for example, players holding the old Wii controllers control Mario, Luigi and other characters. The person with the GamePad can

Amazon’s 7-inch Kindle Fire is one of the smaller tablets with decent sales. Last month, it started shipping an updated version with a faster processor, more memory and longer battery life. It also cut the price to $159, from $199, making it far cheaper than the iPad, which starts at $399.

Amazon is also releasing higher-end models under the Kindle Fire HD line. A 7-inch one goes for $199 and an 8.9-inch one for $299.

There’s also a $499 model that can use the 4G cellular networks that phone companies have been building. A data plan will cost an extra $50 a year. The smaller HD model is already available, while the larger ones will be available Nov. 20.

Barnes and Noble Inc. is also updating its Nook tablets. The new Nook HD will come in two sizes, one at 7 inches (starting at $199) and one at 9 inches (starting at $269).

They will be out Nov. 1.

In addition to the new HD screen and a lighter body, Barnes & Noble is increasing the services the Nook offers. It’s adding a video purchase and rental service, allowing users to maintain different profiles and making

it easier to browse titles in its book and magazine stores.

Google has an event in New York next week. All the company is saying is that it has to do with its Android operating system for mobile devices.

Unique prints, bold hues loom large at Toronto Fashion Week

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Homegrown designers continued to crank up the colour at Toronto’s World MasterCard Fashion Week on Wednesday.

From sweeping dresses to polished outerwear, Day 3 of spring-summer collections at David Pecaut Square brought with an expanse of lines saturated in vivid colours and unique patterns.

Joe Fresh: The affordable apparel brand delivered a 60s twist to its extensive range of minimalist, modern sportswear to wrap up Day 3.

Joe Fresh drew inspiration from optical art evocative of the decade melded with futuristic patterns, colours and cuts.

The wide-ranging collection boasted clean lines and sleek silhouettes with a palette largely steeped in black and white with infusions of mustard yellow, eggshell and cobalt blues.

There were plenty of striking patterns in the mix, including horizontal stripes and geometric and digital prints.

Women’s apparel conjured elegance and chic with demure bow blouses, ruffled collared shirts and capes, along with sheath dresses and pleated skirts.

The brand took a boldly graphic turn with its menswear as well, which encompassed floral-printed shirts and check-print suited separates among more traditional blazers and pea coats.

It was hard to miss the blindingly bright metallics, with silver foil incorporated on everything from windbreakers to skirts and barely there briefs.

While the men stepped out in soft white loafers, the footwear offerings were more extensive for women, from chunky-heeled pumps to pointy heels with silvercapped tips or mesh detailing.

Mackage: Against a backdrop of a brick wall setpiece, Mackage channelled the 80s and modern street style in its range of slick outerwear looks.

Co-creative directors and childhood friends Elisa Dahan and Eran Elfassy incorporated leathers and nylons in the line’s mix of moto jackets and vests, bombers, hooded windbreakers and trenches.

There were apparel offerings in the mix, with leggings, pencil skirts, shorts and halter crop tops fashioned from leather.

The retro touches reminiscent of 80s style were plentiful, from the pops of neon yellow colouring cuffs to the brassy exposed zippers and buckles. The palette was more muted with sand, light grey and mint hues interspersed among darker shades of black and reddish-brown.

Korhani Home: The Canadian home decor brand brought their unique spin on carpet couture to the runway with an eclectic showcase which included live parrots as part of the colourful presentation.

Helmed by creative director Kirsten Korhani, all the runway looks are crafted from Korhani Home’s carpets and home accessories.

Opening the showcase was a dramatic flared-hem gown featuring criss-cross satin lacing fused with a rich gold-and-burgundy printed carpet.

From there, the looks spanned time and locales, from flirty, flapper-inspired style steeped in pale mint and grey shades from the 20s, to sophisticated bustier dresses, coats and capes encompassing vibrant shades of red and pink teamed with black.

An extensive array of tropical prints, from birds to bananas, were made from reversible plastic rugs which were crafted into contemporary garments ranging from structured dresses to high-waisted pants and bustiers.

Lucian Matis: The Toronto-based designer showcased two sides of the style coin in his MATIS line, contrasting vibrant hues with an expansive range of gunmetal greys.

Matis pulled double duty presenting his signature line, Lucian Matis, which followed a similar trajectory to his ready-to-wear collection with its infusion of boldly graphic prints.

Lush, colourful patterns ranging from bird-and-floral designs to kaleidoscopic and abstract prints adorned the feminine creations in the MATIS line, including fluttering, long-sleeved dresses, sheaths and draped-backed tops.

Tailored two-button blazers were featured in rich shades like coral and mustard, and Matis put his unique spin on the ever-popular peplum by creating sexy peek-a-boo effects with lace details along sleeves and top fronts.

Amid the sea of colour was a rich range of greys, from a snakeskin-printed wrap dress to a succession of separates, including short-sleeved tops, blazers, shorts and pants shimmering in sequins.

Within hours, Matis returned to the runway, opening the presentation of his signature collection with richly coloured, intricate Moroccan-tile mosaic prints and kaleidoscopic patterns adorning sleek blazers, slender pencil skirts and fanciful dresses.

Day 3 also featured a presentation from Whitney Linen. World MasterCard Fashion Week runs until Friday.

Aspirin may treat colon cancer STUDY SUGGESTS ASPIRIN MAY WORK AS A GENE-TARGETED DRUG THAT COSTS JUST PENNIES aspirin? It just seems like it was a simple enough thing to take,” she said. “For me the bleeding risk is a very small possible consequence” compared with the risk of cancer coming back, she said.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Aspirin, one of the world’s oldest and cheapest drugs, has shown remarkable promise in treating colon cancer in people with mutations in Online: a gene that’s thought to play a role in the disease.

Medical journal: http://www.nejm.org Among patients with the mutations, those who regularly took aspirin lived longer than those who didn’t, a major study found. Five years after their cancers were diagnosed, 97 per cent of the aspirin users were still alive versus 74 per cent of those not taking the drug.

Aspirin seemed to make no difference in patients who did not have the mutations.

This sort of study can’t prove that aspirin caused the better survival, and doctors say more research must confirm the findings before aspirin can be recommended more widely.

Several studies suggest that aspirin may help fight cancer, especially colorectal tumors.

It is often recommended for people who have colon cancer and others at high risk of developing it. But it’s not advised for wider use, or for cancer prevention, because it can cause serious bleeding in the stomach and gut.

What has been lacking, doctors say, is a good way to tell which people might benefit the most, so aspirin’s risks would be justified. Chan’s study suggests a way to do that.

It involved 964 people diagnosed with various stages of colon cancer who were among nearly 175,000 participants in two health studies based at Harvard that began in the 1980s. Every two years, they filled out surveys on their health habits, including aspirin use.

Most had surgery for their cancer, and many also had chemotherapy.

They gave tumour tissue samples that could be tested for gene activity.

Researchers focused on one gene, PIK3CA, that is involved in a key pathway that fuels cancer’s growth and spread. Aspirin seems to blunt that pathway, so the scientists looked at its use in relation to the gene.

In those whose tumors had a mutation in that gene, regular aspirin use cut the risk of dying of colon cancer by 82 per cent and of dying of any cause by 46 per cent during the study period of about 13 years.

Only two of the 62 regular aspirin users whose tumors had the mutated gene died within five years of their cancer diagnosis versus 23 of 90 non-aspirin users with such a mutation.

The results are “quite exciting,” said Dr. Boris Pasche, a cancer specialist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham who wrote an editorial that appears with the study in the medical journal. Half a dozen drugs are used to treat colon cancer, but only one meaningfully extends survival in people whose cancers have not widely spread, he said.

“Now we may have aspirin. That’s why it’s a big deal,” Pasche said.

Boost brain health with tips Access to groceries still a problem from e-cookbook Mindfull post-Katrina

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO — A team of experts has cooked up a new book that interweaves scientific facts about brain health with some tips on lifestyle choices in an effort to reduce users’ likelihood of developing dementia.

The e-book, called Mindfull, was inspired by a belief that scientific information about brain health hasn’t been presented in a way that people can incorporate into their daily lives, said co-author Carol Greenwood, a scientist and professor of nutrition and brain health.

Greenwood is with the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest Health Sciences and the University of Toronto. She collaborated with Daphna Rabinovitch, a recipe developer and food writer, and Joanna Gryfe, a food and media expert, to compile the 300-page book of consumer-friendly information on the science of nutrition and brain health, along with 100 recipes supporting those principles.

“It’s a resource that you can use in terms of understanding what we know about brain health both from a diet but also from a lifestyles perspective,” Greenwood said Wednesday in a phone interview.

“Developing a resource that would combine the scientific background and then how to transition that into your diet and then using recipes as a scaffold to do that was kind of where this all came together.”

Experts predict dementia rates will soar in the coming decades as Canada’s population gets older.

According to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, 60 per cent of Alzheimer’s diagnoses are attributed to lifestyle choices.

Poor eating habits and a lack of physical and intellectual stimulation are stronger drivers for dementia than genetics alone.

“Effectively what we’ve tried to produce was a whole-brain health resource,” said Greenwood, who has been exploring the relationship between diet and brain health for close to 30 years.

“We’re trying to stay away from arguing there’s a magic bullet (to prevent dementia), because I don’t believe there is, but talk broadly in terms of giving people optimism that knowing the more that they tend to their lifestyle that they can look forward, perhaps, to having a healthier cognitive retirement.”

Skeptics may question whether varying one’s food intake can protect against dementia. Greenwood said people may not realize that other health conditions associated with diet also influence brain health.

“The glass-half-empty part of it is that everyone will acknowledge that elevated cholesterol and blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes are diet-related disorders, but I think what they don’t recognize is that those are risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia,” she explained.

“So if you don’t eat well for what I (call) south of the neck, then it’s going to compromise north of the neck.”

The glass half-full part, she said, is the fact that

The cover of the book Mindfull by Carol Greenwood, Daphna Rabinovitch and Joanna Gryfe is shown.

A team of experts has cooked up a new book that interweaves scientific facts about brain health with some tips on lifestyle choices in an effort to lower the likelihood of developing dementia. there is an increasing body of evidence from longterm studies that suggest certain behaviours are associated with retaining cognitive function during aging, “and within that context there’s been a lot of exploration about diet.”

To give the book a coast-to-coast flavour, the authors asked well-known chefs such as Michael Smith, Mark McEwan and Dale Mackay to contribute recipes.

As well, Laureen Harper — wife of Prime Minister Stephen Harper — agreed to provide a recipe they’ve called Parliament Hill Smoothie. The yogurt-based drink with fruit in the book’s breakfast section is one that she, the prime minister and their children often have.

NEW ORLEANS — Dwayne Boudreaux’s memories of the Circle Food Store in New Orleans 7th Ward neighbourhood are so vivid he can walk through its colonnade of arches into the dark and empty shell and give a guided tour of how it was before Hurricane Katrina.

He points to where the registers once rang, patrons cashed paychecks, children lined up to buy school uniforms and neighbourhood cooks shopped for dressed wild game, live turtles for soups and abundant fresh produce.

“Everybody knew us for the fresh fruits and vegetables,” Boudreaux said. “We were the bell pepper capital of the city.”

Seven years after Katrina flood waters inundated most of New Orleans, the store’s barren insides are emblematic of a problem that neighbourhood activists say was exacerbated by the catastrophe: In a city known for its food, fresh produce and affordable groceries are hard to come by in some neighbourhoods. In the hardhit Lower 9th Ward, activists planned to call attention Saturday to the “food desert” with a festival including live music, cooking demonstrations and a “pop up” outdoor grocery.

“It will be an actual grocery store, not just a farmer’s market,” said Jenga Mwendo, a community organizer.

Mwendo said about 30 per cent of residents in

the Lower 9th Ward lack personal transportation, making a trip to the nearest full-service grocery outlet — a Walmart in the neighbouring city of Chalmette — problematic. Lower 9th resident Gertrude LeBlanc, 76, has her own car. And she needs it to get quality food. There are convenience stores closer to home, but the prices are high. “For a person on a fixed income, with no food stamps, it’s hard,” Leblanc said.

The problem with access to food in the neighbourhood stretches back before the storm: Mwendo said there hasn’t been a full-service grocery there in 20 years.

And price is not the only problem she sees with convenience stores. “It’s poor-quality food,” she said.

City officials are trying to increase access to fresh, high quality food with a program called Fresh Food Retailer Initiative, which includes a low-interest loan program for supermarkets, grocery stores and other fresh food retailers and the use of federal economic development block grants.

“One, it improves the health of our citizens.

Two, it creates jobs,” said Aimee Quirk, an economic adviser to Mayor Mitch Landrieu. They hope successful grocery stores can play a role in bringing people back to the city.

“I get calls from people in other areas ... that still don’t want to come back to the area because they don’t have a grocery store here,” said Boudreaux.

The Troubadours share their songs, inspirations

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Writing a new song inspired by his homesteading grandparents put Red Deer country singer Duane Steele in an acoustic sort of mood.

The singer will share Country Folk and other introspective tunes destined for his next unplugged album, Drifts and Dreams, at a songwriter’s circle at Innisfail’s Century Theatre on Thursday.

The intimate concert, billed as The Troubadours, will also feature the singing and songwriting talents of Lisa Brokop, Paul Jefferson, Wyatt Easterling and Jake Mathews, who will share the same historic Innisfail stage and take turns performing with Steele.

Between them, the five artists have won and/or been nominated for 35 Country Music Awards (CCMA in Canada and CMA in the U.S.), and 18 Juno Awards. “I think it’s going to be fantastic,” predicted Steele, who is friends with all the other singer/songwriters.

He even recorded Two Names on an Overpass once as a duet with Brokop and the duo won a CCMA award for their effort.

Steele believes their easy camaraderie on stage will be evident. “I think the audience gets more out of this kind of concert because they get to hear the songs, and they get to hear how the songs were inspired.”

For instance, Steele might reveal that Country Folk was sparked by some old photos taken of his grandparents

in the Peace River region, where both sides of his family came to farm in the early decades of the last century.

“I don’t know the details of their lives — what I know comes from family stories and photographs. But it must have been hard. They had very limited money and had to work to clear a certain number of acres every year. . . . People talk about ‘the good old days,’ but I’m not sure about that,” he added, with a laugh.

His new album, slated for 2013 release, will also contain the song Brave, which Steele co-wrote with Sean Hogan. “It’s about how crazy the world is and how having a good family can strengthen you,” he said.

On that note, Steele and his wife are raising their soon-to-be four-year-old son, Ryken, who’s started pre-school one day a week. Although the singer raised in Hines Creek has fairly constant concert engagements this fall, he’s planning to be back with his family in Red Deer for Christmas.

In the meantime, Steele looks forward to performing with The Troubadours, an interesting mix of Canadian (Brokop, Mathews) and American (Brokop’s husband Jefferson and Easterling) country performers.

“Every one of us has a rich catalogue of music, so I hope people come out and have a good time.”

Tickets to the 7:30 p.m. concert at 4939 50th St. in Innisfail, are $30 at the door. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For more information, call 403-227-0044. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEF Ballet about Holocaust goes on international tour AUSTIN, Texas — Texas’s Ballet Austin is taking a performance about intolerance and the Holocaust on an international tour, visiting Miami, Washington and Israel over the next year.

The original work is called Light/The Holocaust and Humanity Project.

Choreographer Stephen Mills said he was inspired by Holocaust survivors, but he wants the abstract ballet to be about all forms of intolerance and bigotry.

The music by Steve Reich, Evelyn Glennie, Michael Gordon, Arvo Part, and Philip Glass.

Everywhere the ballet is performed, civil rights groups run a month-long educational program beforehand to teach about the dangers of hatred and bullying.

Ballet Austin performs the work next month in Miami before travelling to Washington’s Kennedy Center in June and three cities in Israel next September. The Colorado Ballet is performing the work in March.

Victim’s husband recounts crash at trial of Melrose Place actress SOMERVILLE, N.J. — Testimony got emotional at the trial of a Melrose Place actress accused of killing a New Jersey woman in a 2010 motor vehicle.

The victim’s husband on Wednesday said it was like getting hit by a bomb when his car was struck by an SUV driven by Amy Locane-Bovenizer.

Fred Seeman said the SUV’s headlights were “way, way off” in the distance as he turned into the driveway of his Montgomery Township home.

He tearfully told jurors how he heard gurgling noises from his wife.

The prosecution and the defence agree Locane-Bovenizer was drunk.

But the defence believes the actress was distracted by another driver who was chasing her and Seeman turned in front of her.

Locane-Bovenizer appeared on 13 episodes of Melrose Place in the role of Sandy Louise Harling.

Paranormal 4 more of same old spooky stuff FILM TAKES STORY STRANDS FROM THE FIRST THREE MOVIES AND ATTEMPTS TO STITCH THEM INTO SOMETHING RESEMBLING A COHESIVE NARRATIVE Paranormal Activity 4 Two stars (out of four) Rated: 14A Things must be getting a tad frantic down at the McSpooky factory where they bang out Paranormal Activity sequels.

Ever since Oren Peli first made bank in 2009 with his found-footage combo of grainy videos, pesky demons and skittish homeowners, the push has been on to have a new chapter of the PETER slowly evolving HOWELL saga out every Halloween.

The quality isn’t keeping pace with the production quota, as Paranormal Activity 4 makes as plain as the jump scares it overuses.

Directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, back for more after helming the superior PA3, take story strands from the first three movies and try to stitch them into something resembling a cohesive narrative.

It’s a stretch, and also not all that scary.

PA4 picks up the dangling plot line from PA2 where poltergeist-plagued Californian Katie (Katie Featherston) vanished in 2006 along with her baby nephew Hunter. This is hitched to strange 2011 goings-on in a Nevada household. The expository prequel that was PA3 is all but forgotten until the confusing ending of this film.

You follow? It doesn’t really matter, because it’s all faint-by-numbers this time, without even a cool device like the low-tech fan cam from PA3 to interest us or really scare us.

The ghostly goings-on have shifted to Henderson, Nev., an affluent sub-

Paranormal Activity 4 has plenty of flying furniture, ghostly levitations and dastardly doing, most of it dutifully caught on laptops and pixelated Xbox. urb where never is heard a discouraging word — until the day when weird neighbour kid Robbie (Brady Allen) comes to temporarily stay with a mother and father (Alexondra Lee and Stephen Dunham), their teen daughter Alex (Kathryn Newton, a bright spark) and six-year-old son Wyatt (Aiden Lovekamp). Robbie’s mom, unseen for now, is in the hospital.

Robbie’s obviously got issues, but at least he believes in dental hygiene — he brings his toothbrush, along with a fork he claims is 100 years old. Robbie starts wandering the house at night, painting demonic symbols on Wyatt and muttering about a spooky unseen pal.

Thus ensues the usual PA drill of flying furniture, ghostly levitations and dastardly doings both mischievous and menacing, most of it dutifully caught

on the laptops and pixelated Xbox that Alex and Robbie have constantly running (this is actually the most believable part of the story).

Been there, shrieked that, but there are a couple of laughs. The dad actually switches a light on during one haunting spell, and who ever does that in a horror movie? And Wyatt amusingly recalls The Shining as he tools around the house on his jumbo trike.

Things start to get downright silly when PA4 shudders to an abrupt halt and then links back to events of PA3.

Are we supposed to believe that zombiemeister George Romero is involved now, too? Paranormal Activity is getting awfully crowded, but there’s no sign of this cash cower going away anytime soon, quality be damned.

Bond exhibit features guns, gadgets and gold TORONTO — James Bond’s tuxedos, guns and gadgets — as well as a lifesized replica of Shirley Eaton’s famed nude scene in Goldfinger — are among the highlights of a new display devoted to the debonair superspy.

Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style opens today at Toronto’s TIFF Bell Lightbox and is billed as the most comprehensive collection of James Bond memorabilia ever assembled.

First staged at the Barbican Centre in London, the exhibition visits Toronto until Jan. 20, 2013 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Bond franchise and coincides with the Nov. 9 release of the latest flick Skyfall.

“This exhibition really allows you to explore just what goes into making blockbuster movie magic happen and what it takes to get a film like a Bond movie up on the big screen,” says Jesse Wente, head of film programs for TIFF Bell Lightbox.

“It’s just exciting to be a movie fan and see something like this.”

Guests enter the exhibit by walking through a gun-barrel tunnel that evokes the trademark opening sequences of the Bond films. From there they see an Ian Fleming room, showcasing the original manuscript for 1962’s Dr. No and first editions of the other Bond novels turned into films.

Around the corner is a recreation of the office of M, the head of the secret intelligence service, including the actual office doors seen in The Spy Who Loved Me and Skyfall.

Then it’s the gold room, one of the exhibition’s highlights.

“It’s to really celebrate the phenomenon of Goldfinger, which was the fastest grossing motion picture of all-time when it came out,” says guest curator Bronwyn Cosgrave.

“Sean Connery’s James Bond became a pop culture phenomenon whose profile was only really rivalled at the time by the Beatles.”

The centrepiece of the room is an ode to Bond’s “Golden Girl,” the Jill Masterson character played by Eaton.

In Goldfinger, she’s asphyxiated after being covered with gold leaf by Oddjob. For the exhibit, a golden life-sized replica of her lies on a spinning round bed.

Other artifacts in the room include Oddjob’s trademark bowler hat and Francisco Scaramanga’s golden gun from The Man with the Golden Gun. Wente’s favourite section of the exhibition is an area devoted to the Q Branch research lab with collections of weaponry and gizmos used by Bond.

“As a life-long Bond fan there’s things here I never thought I’d actually get to see in real life,” he says, adding that he was also thrilled to see the metal teeth worn by the villain Jaws.

The costumes of other villains and memorable characters are also displayed throughout the exhibition and serve as a reminder of how influential and trend-setting the franchise has been, says Cosgrave.

Production designer “Ken Adam classified the look of Bond films back in the day as slightly ahead of contemporary,” she says.

“It was very visionary, it offered people a look into the future in some ways. The car he drove would be the aspirational car, his suits would be

Questions mount over Ex-manager for Spears BBC sex scandal says father

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jimmy Savile: did ex-boss know of his behaviour? current and former employees and contributors.

As increasing numbers of BBC executives come under the microscope over what they knew about Savile — and why the posthumous expose about his sexual crimes was shelved — Thompson, 55, the BBC director-general from 2004 until last month, is being quizzed about his role as well.

In a letter to Conservative lawmaker Rob Wilson, Thompson said he never met Savile or worked on any of the entertainer’s programs, and had never heard any rumoured stories about Savile’s interest in young girls.

“If I had, I would have raised them with senior colleagues and contacted the police,” Thompson said.

Thompson said he heard in late December from a BBC journalist at a company cocktail party that the broadcaster’s Newsnight program had been investigating Savile, but said the journalist never “set out what allegations Newsnight were investigating or had been investigating.”

Thompson said he followed the matter up with other executives who told him the Newsnight investigation was cancelled for journalistic reasons, suggesting they believed there wasn’t enough evidence.

LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears’ ex-manager described from the witness stand this week a scene of domestic warfare, saying the superstar’s father chased him around a kitchen, punched him and threatened his life.

Sam Lutfi, who is suing Spears’ parents for defamation, testified while they watched from across the courtroom.

He denied accusations made in a book by Lynne Spears that he was a Svengali who became the gatekeeper of her daughter’s world, locking her parents out of her life.

He contends he was a benevolent caretaker who protected Britney Spears during her publicized meltdown.

Lutfi told of days leading to Britney’s hospitalization at a psychiatric unit, and jurors saw a video of the star ordering him around outside her home hours before she was taken away.

She was demanding that he let her drive her car and told him to get in the passenger seat. The scene outside her home was surreal, with TV lights and paparazzi surrounding her.

Lutfi said Britney feared her father Jamie Spears and fled her home when she heard he was coming. Lutfi said the father confronted him twice and punched him on the second visit.

“Jamie came barging into the house. He lunged at me and chased me around the kitchen island. He was spitting, yelling, shouting at me, and said I had hurt his daughter and he was going to beat the hell out of me and I’d better get out of the house,” Lutfi testified.

After 10 minutes, he said, Jamie Spears was escorted out by security guards. But the next morning, he got into the house again and the battle resumed, Lutfi said.

LONDON — The New York Times stood by its incoming chief on Wednesday, even as questions about a BBC child sex abuse scandal followed him from one of Britain’s most respected news organizations to one of America’s.

But as new CEO Mark Thompson was getting support from his new bosses, the Times ombudsman questioned his fitness for the job.

And in Britain, a lawmaker said he had more questions for Thompson.

As Thompson prepares to take over as president of The New York Times next month, he has been put on the defensive about his final days as head of the BBC and the broadcaster’s decision to kill what would have been a bombshell investigative story alleging the late Jimmy Savile, one of its biggest stars, had sexually abused up to 200 children.

In a letter to a lawmaker and an interview with the Times, Thompson said he never knew of the Savile story before it was spiked and had never met the network’s popular star.

New York Times Co. spokesman Bob Christie said that the BBC scandal had “obviously been a topic that we’ve discussed” internally, but the Times was satisfied with Thompson’s answers.

“Mark has done an excellent job of explaining the matter,” Christie said.

Thompson said he played no role in spiking the BBC investigation and “we’re satisfied with that.”

Thompson will start as the organization’s CEO on Nov. 12, Christie said.

The BBC scandal has horrified Britain with revelations that Savile, a popular children’s television presenter, cajoled and coerced vulnerable teens into having sex with him in his car, in his camper van, and even in dingy dressing rooms on BBC premises.

He is also accused of sexually assaulting disabled children at hospitals that he helped by raising charity funds.

Police say there could be more than 200 victims, leading one child protection charity to say that Savile could rank among Britain’s most prolific child sex predators.

The BBC said Tuesday it was looking into claims of sexual abuse and harassment against nine other

No sex drive is one thing, but the accompanying negative personality issues made me want to hide in my own house. — Alone Dear Alone: Low testosterone can also be responsible for depression and other mood disorders. It’s too bad your guy was unwilling to try the prescription. It may have helped him enormously. A discussion with his doctor about hormones would have been useful.

Dear Annie: I disagree with your answer to “Home Alone,” whose boyfriend travels on business for months at a time. When he’s home, he spends weekdays with her but wants to spend weekends with his family or friends. You said, “You’ll have to revisit this issue if you marry and have children.”

Flu Shot Clinic

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Most patients getting chemotherapy for incurable lung or colon cancers mistakenly believe that the treatment can cure them rather than just buy them some more time or ease their symptoms, a major study suggests.

Researchers say doctors either are not being honest enough with patients or people are in denial that they have a terminal disease.

The study highlights the problem of overtreatment at the end of life — futile care that simply prolongs dying. It’s one reason that one quarter of all Medicare spending occurs in the last year of life.

For cancers that have spread beyond the lung or colon, chemo can add weeks or months and may ease a patient’s symptoms, but usually is not a cure. This doesn’t mean that patients shouldn’t have it, only that they should understand what it can and cannot do, cancer experts say. Often, they do not. Dr. Jane C. Weeks at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and researchers at several other Boston-area universities and hospitals led a study of nearly 1,200 such patients around the country. All had been diagnosed four months earlier with widely spread cancers and had received chemo.

Surveys revealed that 69 per cent of those with lung cancer and 81 per cent of those with colorectal cancer felt their treatment was likely to cure them. Education level and the patient’s role in care decisions made no difference in the likelihood of mistaken beliefs about chemo’s potential. Hispanics and blacks were three times more likely than whites to hold inaccurate beliefs.

Federal grants paid for most of the research.

In an editorial that appears with the study in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine, two doctors question whether patients are being told clearly when their disease is incurable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Impulse purchases should be avoided as money seems to be flowing out of your pockets too easily. Achievement may come from assisting others. Do no start any new relationships at the moment; let the waters settle in until tomorrow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Since you are feeling more confident now, you need to display your expressive side; you want to be noticed. Manifesting your amorous feelings comes naturally to you except that others might not be as receptive as you are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are going strong and steady. There’s no stopping to your noticeable determination and ambition. That won’t mean that today you won’t loosen up a bit either. Circulate around; return those phone calls or go for short trips.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Emotional security is crucial to. Yet today, your focus is not at its best in terms of judging what you truly value and what you think makes you feel secure. It would be wise to avoid making impulsive material purchases.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The quiet and dreamy Pisces is in a different kind of mode today. You have this inner desire to burst out of your comfort bubble and do things differently, which might actually shock a few people. If you feel that your life has been stagnating for a while, you’ll definitely want to change it in surprising ways.

Missing but still pulling strings

GILLER PRIZE WINNER

BOOK REVIEW

BY LOIS ABRAHAM THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — There is a sense that M.G. Vassanji shares an uneasy feeling of dislocation with the main character of his new novel, The Magic of Saida.

Set in East Africa, the novel by the two-time Scotiabank Giller Prize winner explores the story of Kamal Punja, a doctor from Edmonton who returns to Tanzania to search for a woman who’d been a special childhood friend in the ancient coastal town of Kilwa.

The gifted Kamal has a mixed heritage, with a Swahili mother and absent Indian father.

As a child, his mother sends him to be raised by his uncle in Dar es Salaam, where he’s taunted for being a “dark Indian.”

He never meets his father or sees his mother again.

Not only does Kamal have to deal with a change in environment and difference in class, but he also has difficulty with language and almost drops out of school.

But he turns his life around and goes to university during the turbulent 1970s in Uganda.

The one constant during his forced relocation to Dar es Salaam is his wish to be reunited with his beloved Saida.

He sees her briefly before going to university and then once again before moving to North America.

Some 35 years later, Kamal returns to his homeland to try to find her.

“That memory of her, of a friend, I think for a child can remain for a long time,” Vassanji said.

“I had a young friend as a child. I don’t remember much about her, but I remember playing with her and then when we left Nairobi and went to Dar es Salaam I was carrying that memory of playing with her.

“So I think we all carry those childhood memories and we wonder what could have happened to that person.”

Kamal spends much of The Magic of Saida (Doubleday Canada) trying to figure out where he fits in.

“In a sense he’s more rooted than I am because he has an origin in Africa,” the author of The Assassin’s Song and The Book of Secrets said during an interview at his publisher’s office.

Vassanji’s parents were a part of a wave of Indians who immigrated to Africa.

He was born in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1950 and raised in Tanzania. He later moved to North America for his education and now lives in Toronto.

He makes frequent trips to East Africa and India.

“I have friends in India now and when I see them there’s a whole sense of belonging to the place. ... I realize I don’t have that sense of complete belonging that these people have.

“It’s a very sad feeling, you know,” he said.

“Some people have that complete sense.

“But I suppose in North America, especially in Canada, not many people have that. They all come from somewhere. ... We have to acknowledge it and then move on.”

The last time Kamal sees Saida he makes a wild promise that he cannot keep.

“Saida was trapped by her circumstances, by the old tradition of giving

“She would always remain a mystery in the sense we don’t know what happened to her until the very end, what she’s become.

“I guess in a way she stands for the elusive past, but which comes with a shock at the end.

“It’s not just something that slipped away.

“Kind of the Orpheus story too — get your lover back from the dead — but here she disappears with a vengeance.”

Interwoven with Kamal’s story is the tragic tale of two brothers who are poets in Kilwa “which in a way is more profound than the love story itself.

“The idea of collaboration versus survival and the idea of poetry tradition,” Vassanji said.

He travelled to Kilwa, about 160 km from where he grew up, to capture its spirit.

He describes the history of the area and the coming of the modern age.

“I think the book basically is that, how we became what we are. In this case Kamal becomes a doctor.

“There’s a whole history right from the beginning of the 20th century that contributes to what he is and to what the place is, so then there are many ways of discovering not only the place, the history, the traditions and also the tradition of magic, which I always found fascinating.”

Vassanji said he recalled magic in its different forms, such as potions and being prayed over by someone, from his youth and also gleaned knowledge of its practices during his travels around Tanzania.

“There was a guy in my mother’s

family who was supposed to call the dead back.

“My father died when I was four, so I would ask my mother why we couldn’t go to the guy and have him revived,” Vassanji said.

Another theme in the novel is slavery.

Kamal’s grandmother was a slave and Kamal’s son is most disturbed to learn he had an African grandmother.

“Ironically I noticed after I’d done it — more or less I was revising — that his mother actually had given him away, almost sold him in a sense.

“That bit of irony, I think he’s aware of that “Not that his mother was an evil person. She thought she was doing it for his own good,” Vassanji said.

In his first career, Vassanji was a nuclear physicist but said he always had “a need to express myself since childhood. ... But writing itself was not seen as a career. It was always engineering or medicine.”

One thing he liked about university was doing research, “asking questions, which in a way is what I’m doing in my novels also. Ask questions and just get obsessed by finding out what’s beneath the surface.”

Vassanji was the first person to win the Giller twice, in 1994 for The Book of Secrets and in 2003 for The In-Between World of Vikram Lall.

He’s won many other awards for his work, which includes seven novels, two collections of short stories, a travel memoir about India and a biography of Mordecai Richler.

He is crafting a travel memoir about Tanzania and “slowly” working on a new novel.

He has a draft of it but is keeping details under wraps.

This is a frightening story, but not in the usual way. There are no vampires, feral bats or any of the scary things that show up in fiction these days. Instead, this is the kind of story that could happen to anyone, a situation with no escape, because no one believes you.

The real fear in this story doesn’t hit you until you are more than half PEGGY way through. It’s FREEMAN another story of a couple tied up in infidelity and unemployment; a couple struggling with the daily grind.

Nick Dunne, a writer and Amy Elliot, his very beautiful wife live in New York. Amy is the only child of Rand and Marybeth, two child psychologists.

Rand and Marybeth have made a very nice living for many years writing a series of children’s books, called Amazing Amy. Amy and her life have been tapped pretty thoroughly, but now the series is losing its popularity.

Small wonder, since Amy is almost 30 years old.

Nick loses his job in New York, as many magazines go out of business. His parents back in Missouri are old and ailing; it’s time to move home. Margo is Nick’s twin and, as the one who is holding the fort down in Missouri, she’s happy he’s coming home.

Margo and Nick borrow money from (relatively) rich Amy and open a bar, very cleverly named The Bar. That’s how cool they are.

Now it’s Nick and Amy’s fifth anniversary and something terrible happens. Amy goes missing.

Their front door is found standing open, the living room is messed up, there is evidence of blood on the kitchen floor and she’s gone.

But this isn’t your average murder story. It is 415 pages, with alternating chapters told by Nick, knowing he didn’t kill her, though he often felt like it, and by Amy somewhere else, but not home.

Nick has been unfaithful (a little college girl on the side) and believe me that does not help his defence.

Days go by and there is no body found and the clues are piling up badly against Nick.

Don’t forget Amy is a very beautiful woman, and her picture is plastered everywhere, thanks to her parents. The media is having a field day and Andi (the little college girl) is putting on pressure or she’ll go public.

The police discover a couple of charge cards in Nick’s name with $200,000 in merchandise charged on them. It looks just exactly like he killed her, found a new love and planned a posh escape to somewhere sunny.

By now I was sure Nick was toast, in spite of a posh lawyer with lots of tricks up his sleeve. But then we hear from Amy, at least it seems we do, so what’s going on?

Missouri has the death penalty and finding Amy’s body may not be necessary if everything else adds up.

Amy is playing tricks that might lead to Nick’s death.

Vassanji’s The Magic of Saida explores rootlessness, love and loss

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 26, 2012 D7

World’s first recorded music, blooper digitized SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — It’s scratchy, lasts only 78 seconds and features the world’s first recorded blooper.

The modern masses can now listen to what experts say is the oldest playable recording of an American voice and the first-ever capturing of a musical performance, thanks to digital advances that allowed the sound to be transferred from flimsy tinfoil to computer.

The recording was originally made on a Thomas Edison-invented phonograph in St. Louis in 1878.

At a time when music lovers can carry thousands of digital songs on a player the size of a pack of gum, Edison’s tinfoil playback seems prehistoric. But that dinosaur opens a key window into the development of recorded sound.

“In the history of recorded sound that’s still playable, this is about as far back as we can go,” said John Schneiter, a trustee at the Museum of Innovation and Science, where it will be played Thursday night in the city where Edison helped found the General Electric Co. The recording opens with a 23-second cornet solo of an unidentified song, followed by a man’s voice reciting Mary Had a Little Lamb and Old Mother Hubbard. The man laughs at two spots during the recording, including at the end, when he recites the wrong words in the second nursery rhyme.

“Look at me; I don’t know the song,” he says.

When the recording is played using modern technology during a presentation Thursday at a nearby theatre, it likely will be the first time it has been played at a public event since it was created during an Edison phonograph demonstration held June 22, 1878, in St. Louis, museum officials said.

The recording was made on a sheet of tinfoil, 5 inches wide by 15 inches long, placed on the cylinder of the phonograph Edison invented in 1877 and began selling the following year.

A hand crank turned the cylinder under a stylus that would move up and down over the foil, recording the sound waves created by the operator’s voice. The stylus would eventually tear the foil after just a few playbacks, and the person demonstrating the technology would typically tear up the tinfoil and hand the pieces out as souvenirs, according to museum curator Chris Hunter.

Popping noises heard on this recording are likely from scars left from where the foil was folded up for more than a century.

“Realistically, once you played it a couple of times, the stylus would tear through it and destroy it,” he said.

Only a handful of the tinfoil recording sheets are known to known to survive, and of those, only two are playable: the Schenectady museum’s and an 1880 recording owned by The Henry Ford museum in Michigan.

Hunter said he was able to determine just this week that the man’s

voice on the museum’s 1878 tinfoil recording is believed to be that of Thomas Mason, a St. Louis newspaper political writer who also went by the pen name I.X. Peck.

Edison company records show that one of his newly invented tinfoil phonographs, serial No. 8, was sold to Mason for $95.50 in April 1878, and a search of old newspapers revealed a listing for a public phonograph program being offered by Peck on June 22, 1878, in St. Louis, the curator said.

A woman’s voice says the words Old Mother Hubbard, but her identity remains a mystery, he said. Three weeks after making the recording, Mason died of sunstroke, Hunter said.

A Connecticut woman donated the tinfoil to the Schenectady museum in 1978 for an exhibit on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Edison company that later merged with another to form GE. The woman’s father had been an antiques dealer in the Midwest and counted the item among his favourites, Hunter said.

In July, Hunter brought the Edison tinfoil recording to California’s Berkeley Lab, where researchers such as Carl Haber have had success in recent years restoring some of the earliest audio recordings.

Haber’s projects include recovering a snippet of a folk song recorded a capella in 1860 on paper by EdouardLeon Scott de Martinville, a French printer credited with inventing the earliest known sound recording device.

Haber and his team used optical scanning technology to replicate the action of the phonograph’s stylus, reading the grooves in the foil and creating a 3D image, which was then analyzed by a computer program that recovered the original recorded sound.

The achievement restores a vital link in the evolution of recorded sound, Haber said. The artifact represents Edison’s first step in his efforts to record sound and have the capability to play it back, even if it was just once or twice, he said.

“It really completes a technology story,” Haber said. “He was on the right track from the get-go to record and play it back.”

Sandy whips Bahamas, will soon hit U.S. East coast

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASSAU, Bahamas — Hurricane Sandy lashed the central Bahamas on Thursday night with violent winds and torrential rains, after raging through the Caribbean where it caused at least 21 deaths and forced postponement of a hearing at the Guantanamo naval base on Cuba.

State media in Cuba said Sandy toppled houses, ripped off roofs and killed 11 people in the eastern provinces of Santiago and Guantanamo as it roared over the island as a Category 2 storm early Thursday.

Nine deaths were reported in Haiti and one in Jamaica.

Meanwhile, forecasters warned that Sandy will likely blend with a winter storm to cause a super storm in the eastern U.S. next week whose effects will be felt along the entire Atlantic Coast from Florida to Maine and inland to Ohio.

Some weakening in Sandy was forecast during the next 48 hours, but it was expected to remain a hurricane for a couple of days.

By Thursday evening, the hurricane’s centre was about 105 miles (170 kilometres) east of the Bahamas capital of Nassau as it spun between Cat Island and Eleuthera in the central Bahamas. The storm had

land, they should get a pretty good beating,” he said.

“There are sections of Eleuthera we are concerned about.”

The huge Atlantis resort went into lockdown after dozens of tourists left Paradise Island before the airport closed, said George Markantonis, president of Kerzner International, which manages the resort.

He said the resort was now less than half full, but all its restaurants, casinos and other facilities were still operating.

Sooner Halvorson, a 36-year-old hotel owner from Colorado who recently moved to the Bahamas, said she and her husband, Matt, expected to ride out the storm with their two young children, three cats, two dogs and a goat at their Cat Island resort.

“We brought all of our animals inside,” she said, though she added that a horse stayed outside. “She’s a 40-year-old horse from the island. She’s been through tons of hurricanes.”

On Great Exuma island, guest house operator Veronica Marshall supplied her only customer with a flashlight and some food before Sandy bore down. The storm-hardened Bahamian said she was confident that she and her business would make it through intact.

“I’m 73 years old and I’ve weathered many storms,” she said.

Caroline Turnquest, head of the Red Cross in the Bahamas archipelago off Florida’s east coast, said 20 shelters were opened on the main island of New Providence.

“Generally people are realizing it is serious,” she said.

Power was out on Acklins Island and most roads there were flooded, government administrator Berkeley Williams said. He said his biggest concern was that a boat filled with basic supplies for the island had to cancel its trip until next week.

“Supplies were low before, so you can imagine what we are going through now,” Williams said.

On Ragged Island in the southern Bahamas, the lone school was flooded. “We have holes in roofs, lost shingles and power lines are down,” said Charlene Bain, local Red Cross president. “But nobody lost a life, that’s the important thing.”

Steven Russell, an emergency management official in Nassau, said that docks on the western side of Great Inagua island had been destroyed and that the roof of a government building was partially ripped off.

E6 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 26, 2012

Obama presses Romney over rape remark THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI, Ohio — President Barack Obama seized on a Republican Senate candidate’s remark about rape and pregnancy in an attempt to shore up his support among women, as polls suggest the president is losing his advantage in that key constituency.

Obama intensified pressure on challenger Mitt Romney on Thursday to break ties with Richard Mourdock over the Indiana Senate candidate’s comment that if a woman becomes pregnant from rape it is “something God intended.” Obama aides used a web video to highlight Romney’s endorsement of Mourdock and to accuse him of kowtowing to his party’s extreme elements.

Mourdock’s remark again brought the divisive issue of abortion to the forefront of the U.S. presidential campaign, distracting from the economic issues Romney has been trying to focus on in the last days before the Nov. 6 election.

For the Obama camp, it offered another chance to highlight its differences with the Republican ticket on abortion.

The president had long enjoyed an edge among women votes, but a recent AP-GfK poll found Romney erasing the president’s 16-point advantage among female likely voters.

Obama advisers insist they’ve lost no ground with women. But their eagerness to highlight Romney’s connections to Mourdock indicated some degree of nervousness within the campaign.

The president, who supports abortion rights, also made repeated, though indirect, references to Mourdock’s controversial comment.

“We’ve seen again this week, I don’t think any male politicians should

be making health care decisions for women,” Obama told a crowd of about 15,000 in Richmond, Virginia.

The candidates are running in a virtual dead heat ahead of the Nov. 6 election and a significant lead among women voters could easily tip the balance.

Romney, who appears in a television advertisement declaring his support for Mourdock, brushed aside questions on the emotional controversy from reporters throughout the day.

A day earlier, he disavowed Mourdock’s comments, although his campaign said Romney continues to support the Indiana Republican’s Senate candidacy. Romney opposes abortion but unlike Mourdock, supports exceptions in the case of rape.

Opinion polls show Obama and Romney tied nationally. A new Associated Press-GfK poll of likely voters had Romney up 47 per cent to 45 per cent, a result within the poll’s margin of sampling error.

But because the U.S. presidential race is not decided by popular vote but rather on a state-by-state basis, the election will hinge on nine or so competitive states: Ohio, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado.

Less than two weeks from Election Day, both candidates feverishly campaigned across the country.

Obama, wrapping up a 40-hour battleground state blitz, was heading for his hometown of Chicago to cast his ballot 12 days before Election Day. The stopover was more than a photo opportunity — it was a high-profile attempt to boost turnout in early voting, a centerpiece of Obama’s strategy.

“I’m told I’ll be the first sitting president to take advantage of early voting,” Obama said in an email to supporters, urging them to cast their votes before Nov. 6.

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Obama holds up his jobs plans booklet while speaking at a campaign stop, Thursday, in Tampa, Fla. Obama advisers have identified at least three viable options. Winning Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin would put him over the top, as would wins in Ohio, Iowa and Nevada. A five-state combination of Iowa, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado would also seal the deal for the president’s re-election.

Romney’s team has yet to publicly

outline any specific pathway to victory.

Without a win in Ohio, however, the Republican nominee would have to sweep every other competitive state.

That reality was the motivation behind Romney’s daylong swing through three Ohio cities Thursday. Obama was to finish his day in Ohio, too, the final stop on his marathon, two-day drive for votes.

NYC cop arrested for failed plot to kidnap and cook women

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A city police officer was charged Thursday with leading a ghoulish double life by using a law enforcement database and fetish chat rooms to dream up a plot to torture women and then cook and eat their body parts.

Gilberto Valle left a trail of emails, instant messages and computer files detailing the bizarre cannibalism scheme, according to a criminal complaint, which identified two women as Victim 1 and Victim 2.

He catalogued at least 100 women on his computer, federal investigators said, but there was no information that anyone was harmed.

One document found on his computer was titled “Abducting and Cooking (Victim 1): A Blueprint,” according to the complaint. The file also had the woman’s birth date and other personal information and a list of “materials needed” — a car, chloroform and rope.

“I was thinking of tying her body onto some kind of apparatus ... cook her over low heat, keep her alive as long as possible,” Valle allegedly wrote in one exchange in July, the complaint says.

In other online conversations, investigators said, Valle talked about the mechanics of fitting the woman’s body into an oven (her legs would have to be bent), said he could make chloroform at home to knock a woman out and discussed how “tasty” one woman looked.

“Her days are numbered,” he wrote, according to the complaint.

The woman told the FBI she knew Valle and met

him for lunch in July, but that’s as far as it went.

The officer’s estranged wife had alerted New York authorities to his chilling online activity, triggering the investigation that led to his arrest by the FBI on Wednesday, a law enforcement official said.

The official was not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing case and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Valle, 28, was to appear in federal court in Manhattan on Thursday afternoon to face charges of kidnapping conspiracy and unauthorized use of law enforcement records. The name of his attorney was not immediately available, and no one answered the door to his home in a quiet, middle-class Queens neighbourhood.

A search of Valle’s computer found he had created records of at least 100 women with their names, addresses and photos, the complaint says. Some of the information came from his unauthorized use of a law enforcement database, authorities said. He claimed, according to the complaint, that he knew many of them.

“The allegations in the complaint really need no description from us,” said Mary E. Galligan, acting head of the FBI’s New York office. “They speak for themselves. It would be an understatement merely to say Valle’s own words and actions were shocking.”

There was no immediate response to a message left with the NYPD on Thursday.

The complaint alleges that in February, Valle negotiated to kidnap another woman — Victim 2 — for someone else, writing, “$5,000 and she’s all yours.”

He told the buyer he was aspiring to be a professional kidnapper, authorities said.

“I think I would rather not get involved in the

rape,” according to the complaint. “You paid for her.

She is all yours, and I don’t want to be tempted the next time I abduct a girl.”

It says he added: “I will really get off on knocking her out, tying up her hands and bare feet and gagging her. Then she will be stuffed into a large piece of luggage and wheeled out to my van.”

Cellphone data revealed that Valle made calls on the block where the woman lives, the complaint says.

An FBI agent interviewed the woman, who told them that she didn’t know him well and was never in her home.

Valle had been assigned to a Manhattan precinct before his suspension on Wednesday.

His Facebook page cultivated the image of a very different man. Postings were filled with photos of a smiling wife, a baby girl and an English bulldog puppy named Dudley. A Yankees fan, Valle had more than 600 Facebook friends, including dozens of young women.

Valle respected his colleagues on the force, took the sergeant’s exam and spoke out against Occupy Wall Street, cop killers and others who broke the law, according to the page. His current photo was a blue line, a sign of mourning for when an officer is killed, and expressed condolences for the family of a Nassau County officer who was shot to death this week.

“Keep Nassau County police in your prayers what a brutal week,” he wrote earlier this week.

The page was taken down Thursday afternoon.

Valle lived in a six-story apartment building with white pillars on a quiet residential street in Queens with a playground on the corner. No one answered his door Thursday.

Two kids stabbed to death in Eight found dead in Mexico City NYC home, nanny wounded THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A mother returned home to her luxury apartment building near Central Park on Thursday to find two of her small children stabbed to death in a bathtub and their nanny, with self-inflicted stab wounds, lying near them, police said.

The nanny, who was found near a knife, was hospitalized in critical condition and was in police custody, and authorities said she is suspected of killing the children, who were pronounced dead at a hospital.

The children’s mother entered the dark apartment with her 3-year-old and thought her other two children were out with the 50-year-old nanny, police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

She went downstairs and asked the doorman at her building, La Rochelle, on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, whether he’d seen them leave. When he said no, she went back upstairs and discovered her 2-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter in the bathroom, Kelly said.

It’s unclear how many times the children were stabbed.

The nanny was found on the bath-

room floor with stab wounds to her neck, and a kitchen knife was close by, police said.

There was no water in the bathtub, they said.

Kelly said it’s unclear how long the nanny had worked for the family and the police investigation was ongoing.

Music therapist Rima Starr, who lives on the same floor as the family, said she heard screams coming from their apartment at around 5:30 p.m.

“There was some kind of screaming about, ’You slit her throat!”’ she said.

“It was horrible.”

She said she believed the nanny had been hired just recently.

“I met her in the elevator, the day before yesterday, and was making small talk,” she said.

After police arrived, she said, the mother remained in the building’s lobby, screaming hysterically and clutching her surviving child.

The apartment building sits in one of the city’s most idyllic neighbourhoods, a block from Central Park, near the Museum of Natural History and blocks from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

ACLU sues U.S. over photos and video restrictions at border crossings THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN DIEGO — Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union have sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security over restrictions on taking photos and video footage at ports of entry.

The ACLU said Thursday that it filed the fed-

eral lawsuit on behalf of activists who were trying to document California border crossings with Mexico and had their photos deleted by authorities. The lawsuit says the government requires approval for images taken at or near ports of entry.

Customs and Border Protection officials had no immediate comment

when asked about the lawsuit and its policy on taking photographs.

In its lawsuit filed Wednesday in San Diego, the ACLU says the policy violates constitutional rights to free speech and against illegal search and seizure. It says the policy deters the public from documenting potential misconduct.

MEXICO CITY — Police found the bullet-ridden bodies of eight people Thursday dumped on streets in a suburb of Mexico City.

The prosecutor’s office in Mexico State, which adjoins Mexico City, said the victims in the first attack were five men and one woman between the ages of 20 and 25 whose bodies were found without clothes in Ecatepec, north of the capital. Officials in Ecatepec said two people died in a second attack in a nearby neighbourhood, but did not specify the sex of the victims.

Authorities said both attacks appeared to be related to organized crime. Mexico City has largely been spared the drug-fueled violence that

has resulted in massacres in other parts of the country, and none of the hand-lettered signs that frequently accompany drug-gang slayings were found at the scene.

Mexican court authorities announced that they fired a federal judge accused of improperly dismissing charges or releasing suspects in drug cartel cases. The Federal Judiciary Council said it decided to fire district Judge Efrain Cazares for “serious offences in his judicial duties,” but did not specify what exactly the offences were. The action announced late Wednesday can be appealed to Supreme Court. The judge has no attorney of record. He had been suspended in June from his court duties in the western state of Michoacan.
