SERIOUS BUZZ

BUSINESS OF THE YEAR AWARDS

Chamber honours three winners

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Among the dignitaries who spoke before the presentation of the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce’s 2013 Business of the Year Awards on Tuesday evening was Red Deer North MLA Mary Anne Jablonski.

A short time later, her son Jeremy found himself at the same podium — accepting one of the awards on behalf of The Coverall Shop, a family business of which he is president and general manager.

“There are a lot of thank-yous and I’ll try to keep them short,” said the younger Jablonski. “I am the son of a politician, so well see how that goes.”

In addition to The Coverall Shop, which was honoured in the category for businesses with one to 15 employees, other Business of the Year Awards recipients were IFR Workwear Inc. and Bilton Welding & Manufacturing Ltd. IFR Workwear was recognized among businesses with 16 to 49 employees, while Bilton Welding & Manufacturing topped the list of finalists with 50 or more employees.

IFR Workwear president Reg Radford, who accepted his company’s award alongside his daughter and business partner Erin Buckland, prefaced his remarks with a qualifier.

“Well, I’m not the son of a politician.”

Bilton Welding & Manufacturing president Bob Bilton, also tried to lower the audience’s expectations.

“Well guess what? I didn’t write a speech, so this will be short.”

But all of the award recipients took the time to emphasize the importance of their staff.

“It’s very lonely in the beginning as an entrepreneur,” said Bilton. “And it’s really, really wonderful to be able to start to become partners with your staff.

“When you have a business, your staff really do make it.”

Founded by Bilton in Innisfail 20 years ago, Bilton Welding & Manufacturing employs close to 200, plus contractors. The company’s namesake described how it does custom fabrication work, with the oilpatch where the bulk of its output ends up.

“When the dollar is appropriate for export for Canada, we are into world markets: Africa, Europe, Mexico, South America, the Caribbean,” said Bilton in a video presentation.

Radford commented on how IFR Workwear has grown into one of the country’s largest manufacturers of fireresistant workwear since 2005.

ER wait times out of control: Wildrose TORY MISMANAGEMENT, AHS CENTRALIZATION TO BLAME

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Wait times for emergency admission at Red Deer Regional Hospital have been spiralling out of control since 2005, says the Wildrose Party.

A Freedom of Information request filed by Wildrose shows 61 per cent of patients at the Red Deer hospital were admitted within the eight-hour wait time benchmark in 2005-06. Despite the fact that the annual number of ER visits has remained unchanged since 2005, the percentage of patients admitted within that benchmark plummeted to 43 per cent in 2011-12 — and has sunk even lower in 2013 to 39 per cent.

Wildrose said with Alberta Health

Services failing to meet its eight-hour target for ER admissions, the average length of stay in the ER for patients at the Red Deer hospital skyrocketed to 14.5 hours in 2011-12, an increase of over six hours since 2005.

Wildrose blames the deterioration of emergency health care on mismanagement by the Progressive Conservatives and the centralization of the health-care system under Alberta Health Services.

“To see Red Deer Regional Hospital go from an eight-hour wait time in 2005 to as much as a 17-hour wait time in 2008, and now in 2013 a 14-and-a-half hour wait time, is really quite scary,” Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Kerry Towle said on Tuesday.

Not to mention that the eight-hour

benchmark for admission is too long for emergency patients to wait, she said.

“If you are already using a very low benchmark and you can’t even meet it on average 50 per cent of the time, that’s pretty, pretty bad,” Towle said.

She said the fact that Wildrose had to make a Freedom of Information request shows the province doesn’t want Albertans to know the truth.

“If they’re so proud of the numbers, then why don’t they release them.”

In a press release, Wildrose health critic Heather Forsyth said the giant AHS bureaucracy is still growing while patients in places like Red Deer are left waiting longer and longer for care.

Crime rate down 10.5% compared to this time last year CRIME RATE IS TOP CONCERN C1

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Statistics released by the City of Red Deer indicate the crime rate has fallen this year.

Overall, crime is down 10.5 per cent in the city, relative to this time last year.

The largest drop came from what are referred to as persons crimes, which include homicide, robbery, sexual assaults, assault and kidnapping.

Overall, crimes in that category fell by 18.2 per cent in 2013.

“It’s a good thing the crime stats have been going down throughout the three quarterly reports this year,” Red Deer city manager Craig Curtis said on Tuesday.

“We have had a crime spike in the city in 2011 and the early part of 2012.”

Property crime also fell, according

to the third quarter statistics, showing a 8.3 per cent decrease.

Also down were instances of weapons charges, which fell 1.8 per cent.

“This continued downward trend is due, in part, to a council’s investment in crime and safety over the last year,” said Curtis.

“We expect to continue seeing this number decrease in the fourth quarter and into 2014 as we further explore community safety, crime prevention and policing in the coming year.”

Few turn out to meet candidates

BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF

RED DEER CATHOLIC REGIONAL SCHOOL DIVISION

The fact that only a handful of members of the public came out to chat with Catholic trustee candidates at a meet-and-greet on Tuesday evening was seen as a positive by those hoping to gain a seat on the Red Deer Catholic Regional School Division board.

While a few of the six trustees at the event organized by the Alberta Teachers Association Tuesday night said the low turnout was disappointing, the overarching sentiment was that it meant there is no pressing issue that voters are up in arms about in 2013.

Incumbent board chair Adriana LaGrange said her interactions with voters so far have been very positive and for the most part people have expressed their satisfaction with the board’s direction. She said over the last term, parents within the division took advantage of online engagement sessions to express their thoughts more than doing so face-to-face.

“I believe if there would have been a huge contentious issue we would have seen lots of people here,” she said.

First time candidate Brandie Towers agreed. She said the fact that there is not a pressing issue proves that the board has been doing good work, and she praised all the candidates for the atmosphere that

has been created during the campaign.

“Everybody has been really considerate and welcoming, which is great. It’s definitely made a firsttime candidate feel very welcome,” said Towers.

For Anne Marie Watson, the chance to hear from teachers on matters such as inclusion and space concerns has been a positive throughout the campaign.

She said in dealing with such concerns with the provincial government, the main thing the board can do is to continue to make known its growth numbers.

But, the incumbent said, the board has also been proactive in its quest for a new high school by seeking out a partner in advance of funding for a new school being announced — partnerships being something the government encourages in education.

The board needs to more vocal though going forward, said first-time candidate Murray Hollman. He suggested the board needs to engage parents even more to inform them why, for example, their children are in overstuffed classrooms so that those parents will advocate for the division as well.

“As a board we can only do so much and be told ‘no’ so many times. I think it’s actually getting out to the voters and getting them involved. That’s key.

They’re the ones that will be electing a new government here in a few years and if they don’t get what they want, they’re the ones that have the final say,” said Hollman.

Cory Litzenberger, also running for the first time, said the campaign has been very easygoing and without any major issue. But, he said, the board can be more effective in advocating to the province by getting the public to take up its cause and by engaging the media and opposition parties on the issue of space and the need for a new school.

For Guy Pelletier, the low turnout on Tuesday was a good sign. But he said the meet-and-greet format, as opposed to a candidate forum, is a great way for voters to talk to their future representatives, and he encouraged more people to come out in future.

“You can engage people with more than just a one minute response,” said Pelletier.

Candidate David Bouchard was not at the forum, as he is leading a mission trip in Israel.

Mark Ramsankar, president of the Alberta Teachers’ Association, came from Edmonton for the event and quizzed candidates himself on issues relevant to the community and the province. He said trustees from around the province have to stand up and hold the government accountable.

Another meet-and-greet with Catholic candidates will be held at the Montfort Centre tonight from 6:308:30 p.m. with the public welcome to attend. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

AWARDS: Unbelievable examples of business leaders “In the last year we’ve used over 650,000 metres of reflective striping,” he said.

“And we’ve used over 460,000 yards of flame-resistant fabric.”

IFR Workwear sells through distributors across Canada and beyond, including The Coverall Shop.

The company is currently building much larger premises in Queens Industrial Park. Radford explained in the video about IFR Workwear that such growth has been part of his formula for success.

“I’ve learned over the last few years, in all these industries, you either grow or you die. It’s simple; if your business isn’t growing you’re going the other way.

“So we’ve made it our priority to just keep growing, and it’s worked very well for us.”

The Coverall Shop sells coveralls and safety equipment, including customized, ready-to-wear garments. Jablonski credited some of his company’s good fortune to quick turn-around times with respect to its products. But, he added, The Coverall Shop’s core philosophy has also benefitted it greatly.

“Our biggest concern is about people, not so much bottom lines or profits,” he said. “We think that’s going to come as a result of taking care of people — and that’s our clients and our staff, and making sure people are always number 1.”

Jablonski also remarked on other attendees at the awards ceremony.

“There are some unbelievable examples of business leaders in this community. Some of the best in the world are in the room tonight.”

Other finalists for the Chamber’s 2013 Business of the Year Awards were Babycakes Cupcakery and Stems Floral Gallery in the one- to 15-employee category; Carpet Colour Centre — Carpet One Floor & Home, and Deermart Equipment Sales Ltd. among employers with 16 to 49 staff: and Peavey Industries Ltd. and Red Deer College in the 50-plus employee group. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

ER: No easy answers “Alberta taxpayers continue to pay more and more for health care and keep getting worse results, and Red Deer is a prime example,” Forsyth said.

The number of patients in Red Deer who meet the four-hour wait time benchmark for ER treatment and release without admission also dropped to 69 per cent in 2011-12 from 79 per cent in 2005-06.

According to recent AHS quarterly update, there are 83 people in acute care beds waiting for continuing care placement in the Central Zone, an increase of 35 people since 2012.

Towle, Wildrose seniors critic, said there will be even less space for patients in Red Deer with the government’s decision to shut down the Michener Centre and move residents into group homes and long-term care facilities.

“When clients go into care without adequate resources, they end up in an ambulance coming back to emergency. We see that already with seniors who are in care,” Towle said.

Dr. Verna Yiu, vice-president and chief medical officer of quality and medical affairs with AHS, said there are no easy answers for decreasing the wait time in emergency departments.

“That’s a challenge for us. There’s no question about it. I wish I had an easy answer to give you,” Yiu said.

“Within each of the hospitals it’s a really complex issue. There are numerous, numerous factors as to

why wait times can fluctuate. We’re really taking a multi-prong approach.”

She said at the Red Deer hospital four intensive care beds were added in late 2012, which has reduced the wait for an ICU bed by about six hours. A care co-ordinator is working with seniors in emergency so they have support when they go home. Earlier this year 88 new supportive living spaces opened in Lacombe and next year 100 continuing care spaces will open up in Red Deer.

“It’s not just about flow into the emergency department. It’s about flow out of the emergency department.”

Yiu said it’s about operating room capacity, the number of hospital beds, discharging and access to community care.

Emergency flow issues are a global issue, she said.

“Our process improvement teams are still working with emergency departments so we’re trying to identify streamlining around the processes for patients and staff.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Convicted torturer difficult to treat

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The Crown at a dangerous offender hearing for convicted torturer Dustin Paxton argued Tuesday that he is a high risk to reoffend and difficult to treat.

In her final sentencing arguments, Julie Morgan told a Calgary courtroom that Paxton has shown a pattern of violence that stretches back years and is always the same.

“He is un- Dustin Paxton able to control his anger,” she said.

“He gets angry and frustrated over minor disagreements. The victims are

known to him. He uses threats and physicality ... he manipulates, belittles and controls his victims.”

Paxton, 33, was found guilty in February 2012 of aggravated and sexual assault against his former business partner and roommate after a man was found dumped at a Regina hospital in 2010 near death — badly emaciated, bruised, broken and bleeding.

The Crown wants Paxton to be kept in prison for an indeterminate period of time as a dangerous offender, but if the judge wanted to fix a set sentence, it should be in the 15 to 18-year range, Morgan said.

She noted Paxton would be eligible for 2-for-1 credit for his time already in custody.

If the judge rejects the dangerous offender designation, Paxton could alternately be designated a long-term offender with a set prison sentence followed by 10 years of supervision under strict conditions.

Morgan said Paxton has exhibited a “substantial degree of indifference”

to the welfare of his victims and any treatment of his behaviour will be a slow and difficult process.

“We need to look at his future treatment possibilities. It has to be more than an expression of hope,” she said.

“This offender will likely pose a threat in the future.”

She said Paxton misled the court in the past by faking symptoms of schizophrenia.

“He faked the symptoms to fool others. He attempted to manipulate the system to avoid repercussions,” Morgan said. “This offender cannot be trusted at all. He’s going to be a challenge.”

Morgan said a number of reports all came to the same conclusion. He is “a high risk to reoffend — difficult to treat.”

During the trial Paxton’s victim testified that he was starved, humiliated and beaten on an almost-daily basis.

He told court he took the abuse because he didn’t want to look like “a sissy” and had dreams of making big

money in the business he and Paxton started.

“I was in survival mode,” the man testified. “I would do anything not to get beaten.”

He said the attacks would happen over the smallest things, such as leftovers in the fridge.

“I was beat up with a two-by-four that broke every one of my ribs and ruptured my bowel. He probably hit me 25 times. He was hitting me in all different ways. I was standing there and I had to let him hit me.”

Morgan cited a number of aggravating factors including that Paxton and his main victim were essentially in a relationship and that “sex acts were used as weapons.”

She said she was unable to find any mitigating factors in Paxton’s favour due to his continued lack of remorse and callousness of the crimes against his victims.

“Words can’t do justice as to what was done to the victim in this case,” she said.

BRIEFS

Redford, Clark to meet Nov. 5 to talk resource strategy EDMONTON — British Columbia Premier Christy Clark and Alberta’s Alison Redford are to meet next month in Vancouver to work on a joint plan to expand energy exports.

The two premiers plan to talk on Nov. 5 after Redford delivers a speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade.

The premiers say they have set the terms of reference for a joint group to explore energy issues.

The group is to consult with First Nations, explore resource transportation options, look at how to promote resources and study ways to reduce the impact of oilspills.

It is also to examine how to make sure both provinces get a fair share of resource revenues.

Alberta has been promoting Calgary-based Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that would take crude from the oilsands across B.C. to tankers on the coast.

mier for tours.

“I hope that (Redford) would have the good grace at least to come and see Michener to make an informed decision about whether or not Michener plays a key role in the care of disabled people before she shuts down something that is a great place,” said Kvern.

Mason said he too hopes all leaders will make visits.

“I particularly think it would be useful if the premier would tour the facility. I think she’d find it a real eyeopener,” he said. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

OKOTOKS — RCMP in southern Alberta have charged a man with stealing food intended for victims of last spring’s flooding.

Mounties say the Okotoks detachment was advised late last month that someone had been taking supplies from a relief community in High River — one of the most seriously damaged communities.

Investigators searched a man’s home and found a significant amount of food and other supplies.

Devin Gillingham, who is 24, has been charged with theft under $5,000 and unsafe storage of a firearm.

The Okotoks man is to make his first court appearance on Friday.

Provincial court Judge Mark Tyndale makes the recommendation in his fatality inquiry report into the deaths of Byron and Ryan Gray in Calgary in June 2010.

The brothers, who both had alcohol in their blood above the legal limit, died of injuries after the speeding Jeep they were in crashed into a tree and a house while being chased by police.

Tyndale looked at Calgary police pursuit policy and how well emergency response crews performed and recommends that police cruisers have in-car camera systems.

He says what happened was not a high-speed pursuit and the officer and emergency medical technicians involved performed their jobs well.

Tyndale says for most people, the courts are foreign territory, and to require families to pay for a lawyer could put a financial burden on people struggling with a tragedy that may limit their ability to take part in an

inquiry.

Judge says province should pay family legal costs at fatality inquiries

Hobbema youth gunned down: autopsy An autopsy of the teen who was found dead in Hobbema on Saturday has confirmed he was shot to death.

Teagan Johnson, 15, from the Samson Cree Nation in Hobbema, was found dead at about 8:45 a.m. on Saturday. Hobbema RCMP and Muskwachees Fire and EMS were called to an open area of the Samson Cree Nation.

When they arrived, Johnson was found and pronounced dead at the scene.

The medical examiner confirmed on Tuesday that Johnson died of a gunshot wound. Police recovered two firearms over the weekend and continue to investigate, pending forensic and lab results.

The matter is under investigation.

“I saw people that were very comfortable and happy and I met staff members who are very very compassionate and wonderful caregivers and advocates for the people that live there,” said Mason.

“I really don’t know what has gone sideways with this premier, but something clearly has.”

Kvern said Wildrose leader Danielle Smith will tour in November, while the plan is to invite Liberal leader Raj Sherman and reinvite the pre-

The fact that Alison Redford has never visited Michener Centre is one of the most often mentioned by those caregivers of residents who are leading the fight against her government’s edict that the centre is to close.

The collective advocating for the centre continues to invite the premier to tour the home for the developmentally disabled in the hopes that walking its halls might convince her to reverse the government’s decision

to relocate 123 of the centre’s current residents into community group and seniors homes, announced in March.

And now they are inviting three of her provincial party leader counterparts to take a look around as well.

Lee Kvern, whose sister lives at Michener, said the goal of inviting the leaders is “to show them that it’s not an institution anymore,” while pointing out the centre’s recent record, which includes eight Premier’s Awards of Excellence since 1999, displayed in the Roland Michener Recreation Centre.

Red Deer First responds to column about pamphlet’s claims Re: Putting Red Deer first, a column by Greg Neiman in the Advocate on Oct. 10: By way of fairness, please allow me to make a few comments on your comments relating to your opinion piece published October 10, 2013.

Readers should note if they haven’t seen the Red Deer First pamphlet, that only numbers are stated.

No detail is included. Therefore, it is Mr. Neiman who is assuming we are trying to make the numbers look bad. If people draw that conclusion, then they are doing it on their own not through any eloquent persuasion on our part.

Water tower paint, cost $750,000: As a journalist you may want to do your homework. You state the tower plays a significant role in our water delivery system. The city tells us it is empty and not in use.

Nor are there any near future plans to use it. So you might see how refurbishing a piece of unused infrastructure to the amount of $750,000 would cause some questions. I agree that it is iconic. I suppose if we viewed it solely as a display of our identity there may be some way to justify the expense, but then why spend another $85,000 to try and find a new municipal identity?

New civic yards, cost $120 million: In your opinion you ask for specifics regarding deliberate waste.

I can’t do that because the city claims there is no waste.

I can give you my opinion, or you could ask the opinion of any citizen who drives by. I am sure all of us could point out the excesses to you. Or perhaps ask some of the fine people who work across the street in their functional utilitarian and cost effective buildings if they think their tax dollars were well spent on the project. I have. Their opinion is very different than yours.

It would be one thing if it was a new City Hall, but for a place where equipment is stored and maintained, even you would you must admit it is palatial.

While giving us a tour, the city has stated that they are already outgrowing the location. So, it may be vacant for when the college grows into a university within the next few years as you predict. It would make a lovely second campus and require virtually no renovation.

Old civic yards, value $0: You are correct in saying the old civic yard location is a diamond quality piece of property. However, we will likely only get a cubic zirconia quality price for it.

By the time the city pays for demolition, decontamination, power line relocation and makes some expensive changes to the Ross Street and Taylor Drive intersection to improve accessibility, there will be no money to be made on the deal at all. The city has stated as much to us.

Ross Street Taylor Drive rebuild, $17 million: I agree pedestrian traffic is the main concern. Vehicles seem to be moving through the intersection well enough.

I wonder if there could be a cheaper more pedestrian specific way to connect to the Riverlands area without a costly traffic focused remodel. Perhaps a simple pedestrian bridge would suffice? That may be too new or unique for the city. Wait — there is already a good example of this about a minute north of this exact intersection.

Of course, without major construction there would be no improved access to the old public yards site.

So, does this expense truly for our citizens or some future land developer?

North connector ring road and bridge, cost ?: Thanks for mentioning it in your opinion. We would have added to the pamphlet but we couldn’t get an accurate value and to be honest we were running out of space.

Red Deer’s projected debt: $241 million: You state that the city’s debt was $199.1 million as of June 30, 2013. That is exactly six months into the year. You must realize the problem with this accounting methodology. Are you actually expecting the city not to initiate any capital projects for the remaining six months of the year? It’s possible what with it being an election year, and all.

More likely though is that $199.1 million will grow significantly before year end. Our number was an actual 2013 year-end debt projection stated by the city in April of this year. It was also posted in your paper.

It’s likely that the year-end debt will not be exactly $241 million since it was only a projection. I am certain, however, that it will be significantly more than $199.1 million.

Red Deer’s future: Red Deer is a wonderful and beautiful city that attracts hundreds of diverse citizens every year. Our location is the very advantage we’ve relied on to sustain us so far. Continuous demographic growth props up our ability to continue with our current debt load and that of our future.

While I pray that our city’s prosperity continues, anyone having lived in Alberta will tell you that things can change quickly and not always for the better. Only a well managed and responsibly utilized debt strategy will protect our taxpayers, and more importantly those on low or fixed incomes, if our growth ever fails.

I believe Red Deer has unlimited potential as a community. All we need is a sustainable financial model to ensure we have the future finances and re-

Smile... you deserve it!

Yes, you are here to govern. But, reasonably, how can you be making huge decisions that have a great impact on our children and our future, if you are not on the front lines to see the issues facing the schools, teachers, students and parents.

In my opinion, you need to be immersed in the environment you are governing, to make truly informed and well-rounded choices, that you can firmly stand behind. I’m sorry — paid, elected official — I do expect you to come down from your high position to walk among the common folk (our children) on a pretty regular basis. If you are not truly passionate about doing what’s best for our children, and putting in the time that would ensure you are making the best judgment on issues, you have no business asking for anyone’s votes.

I may also be a bit angry at myself, as I had strongly considered running for trustee, but questioned if I could truly be considered qualified — I have no fancy letters behind my name or big business experience. As a parent, though, I don’t really give a royal rip about your designations, or accreditations, but you’d better convince me that you care deeply, will be involved and would be honoured to fill the position.

If you do have your Masters in Integrity, Accountability, and Dedication to Our Students, though, you have my vote!

At the forum, I watched for candidates whose eyes would light up when they spoke, ones who were eager and didn’t just seem to be reading off a script. I valued ones who actually seemed to have their own ideas and visions, and didn’t just tell me about the studies or articles they just read.

I encourage everyone, whether you have children in the school system or not, to make an informed choice when you vote. The state and quality of our education system affects us all. Even if they are not your children, these students will all grow up, leave school and become the future leaders in our community. We better all hope that we as a society did all we could to give them the best that our public education system could offer.

So please, don’t just look at signs lining the roadways or assume just because someone is looking for re-election that they must be a good choice, because they’ve already been elected before.

I will not settle when it comes to who I entrust to make big decisions for our kids’ education.

So I end this with no doubt in my mind that I have offended some and ruffled a few feathers. But in the end, the only ones who truly matter are my kids, your kids and their future. And the last thing I will do, is to give up fighting for my kids.

sources we require when we need them.

I would like to see a Red Deer where what we build now will not be paid for by our children.

I would like to see a Red Deer where my taxes don’t increase beyond the cost of living.

I would like to see a Red Deer where the entirety of the city is the priority, not legacy infrastructure or special interest projects.

Yes, Mr. Neiman, I would like to see Red Deer come first and for that to happen there does indeed need to be a change!

I believe we will see just that next Monday.

Trustees must put children first So, we are rapidly approaching election day.

On Oct. 8, I attended the Red Deer Public School trustee candidates election forum. I have seriously debated sending this in as I know, without question, I will be offending some people. But here it goes.

Honestly, I left the forum that night both underwhelmed and angered. There are 14 candidates vying for seven positions, and at this point, in good conscience I can not even cast seven votes. I hate to be negative about this, because I am very supportive and involved in my kids’ education — I think this is why I am so angered.

I spend a great deal of time volunteering, not just for the sake of my children, but for every child at the school. To me, making decisions and advocating for children’s education is a pretty darn important position to be in, and guess what, I expect you to actually make me believe you give a damn.

I realize this is only a part-time position, but I expect full-time passion. And I even have the nerve to expect you, as a trustee, to spend a decent amount of time in our schools — interacting with administration, teachers, students and parents. And yes, I even expect you to attend our parent council meetings occasionally, and show up for the five citywide council meetings that are held each year.

I expect you to know what’s going on in the schools that you are a liaison for. You should be aware of their struggles as well as their victories. You should be a recognizable face, and not just stand up to wave and smile when you are acknowledged, for showing up to one special event a year.

I found it troubling to hear a trustee say at the forum: “We are here to govern, that is our primary purpose, it needs to be remembered we are to here to govern, we don’t need to be in the school’s all the time.”

Senate abolition gains traction among Tories OTTAWA — While the NDP bangs the drum for Senate abolition in the Commons, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is likely to hear the same beat coming from inside his own Conservative caucus.

Government MPs got an earful from constituents over the spring and summer about the ongoing Senate expenses scandal, which has already prompted the ouster of three high-profile Tory senators and Harper’s chief of staff. An RCMP investigation and auditor general’s review will keep the story alive indefinitely.

Many members were riled up after a Conservative private member’s bill on union accountability was gutted with the help of some of their own caucus mates in the upper chamber.

As a result, patience is running thin.

A number MPs who spoke to The Canadian Press — some on the record, others preferring to remain anonymous because they are uncomfortable speaking publicly about the matter — say the Senate should simply be done away with, rather than wait for reforms that could take years to achieve, if at all.

“Personally, I think the country could be well governed without it,” said one Conservative MP.

BRIEFS

Children’s aid supervisor says nothing ‘stood out’ about starved boy’s family TORONTO — Children’s aid didn’t conduct checks on a Toronto couple who took custody of their grandchildren, one of whom they ultimately starved to death, because it was at first an informal arrangement agreed to by the children’s parents, an inquest heard Tuesday.

Putting Jeffrey Baldwin and his siblings in the care of their grandparents was seen as a positive move to provide some temporary relief to the teenage parents, Catholic Children’s Aid Society supervisor Sal Salmena told a coroner’s inquest into Jeffrey’s death.

Not all young parents have the benefit of “the grandma option,” he said.

The inquest has heard that both grandparents, Elva Bottineau and Norman Kidman, had a history of child abuse, including separate convictions and various dealings with the children’s aid society. But when the society was looking at placing Jeffrey and his siblings in their care, the workers didn’t look through their own files to see what might be lurking in the grandparents’ past.

The society first got involved with Jeffrey’s parents, Richard Baldwin and Yvonne Kidman, when a neighbour reported concerns about their care of

Added another MP: “I’m ready to campaign on abolition.”

Some even pointed to the political toll that the concept of Senate reform is taking on Harper himself.

“The Senate is a longer-term problem where without action, the prime minister is perceived as the person who is responsible for the Senate and the status quo,” said one Tory MP. “That’s not a position he wants to be in.”

Any movement on the Senate will have to wait until the Supreme Court of Canada answers a series of questions the government posed earlier this year — including how to go about abolition. As a result, Senate reform is not expected to garner but a passing reference in Wednesday’s throne speech.

Harper has tried unsuccessfully to introduce term limits to the Senate, and to create a framework whereby the provinces could elect their senators.

Industry Minister James Moore raised the threat of abolition last weekend, saying taxpayers should have some sort of election process to allow them to do away with senators they feel aren’t up to the task.

“But if we can’t do that, then the Senate should be abolished,” Moore told CTV’s Question Period.

“Either elect or abolish, but serious reform or abolition has to happen, and we want it to happen

yesterday.”

Ontario MP Bruce Stanton said the Senate expenses issues became “water-cooler talk” in his riding over the summer. He would prefer to see the kind of Senate reform that Harper has proposed in the past, but not at any cost.

“If it comes to pass that (reform) cannot happen without some kind of constitutional upheaval — meaning the general amending formula and all the provinces have to agree — if we’re going to go down that path, then certainly abolition might be the better bet,” Stanton said.

Other MPs are holding out for a healthy discussion inside caucus — and later this month at the Conservative convention in Calgary — on possible solutions for making the Senate more effective and less costly.

“You still need that sober second thought because we could still ram stuff through Parliament rather quickly if we wanted to, and that may feel good one day but the damage could be a year or two down the road when you don’t take the time to really vet something properly,” one western Conservative MP said.

“That’s where the Senate provides that strength — do we really need to have them here doing that committee work? Do we need to have them travelling all over the world?”

their first baby, a daughter referred to at the inquest only as Sibling 1 to protect her identity.

They were a hot-headed young couple who agreed they needed a cooling-off period and together with the society agreed that Kidman’s parents, primarily her mother, should take the baby for a while, the inquest has heard.

It wasn’t a “formal process” at that stage, Salmena testified, so no formal checks were done on the grandparents.

“She was there as a temporary relief for young parents,” he said. “There would be no need, or it wasn’t the practice, to do the check on the grandparents.”

When the young parents agreed to have their first child stay — temporarily — with the grandparents, it was a “private arrangement,” Salmena said.

B.C. man sentenced to 18 months in nanny trafficking case VANCOUVER — A British Columbia man convicted of human trafficking for forcing the family nanny to work long hours for little or no pay, has been sentenced to 18 months in jail.

Illegal B.C. dentist gets three months for contempt, but still no sign of him VANCOUVER — A B.C. man accused of practising dentistry without a licence while working in unsanitary conditions has been sentenced to three months in jail for contempt of court.

But Tung Sheng “David” Wu was convicted and sentenced in absentia, because he has yet to turn himself in and authorities don’t know where he’s hiding.

B.C.’s College of Dental Surgeons went to court after the college raided Wu’s clinic in Burnaby in May, finding unsanitized dental supplies and equipment.

The college had asked that Wu be found guilty of contempt for defying a 2003 court injunction that ordered him to stop practising dentistry without a licence.

There is a Canada-wide warrant for Wu’s arrest.

B1 Loonie has more room to fall

BEFORE HITTING ITS TRUE 88-CENT VALUE, SAYS GROUP

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s loonie may have slid well below parity during the past few months, but it has room to fall before reaching it’s true value at under 90 cents US, according to a new measure on global currencies.

The latest World Price Index report issued Tues-

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 16, 2013

day by London-based World Economics says the loonie remains about 10 per cent overvalued despite a recent dip that has taken it from parity to just above 96 cents US. That would mean the true value of the Canadian currency is under 88 cents US, lower than what many Canadian analysts calculate as the underlying value of the loonie.

But that doesn’t mean markets will react to the measure right away or even in the next few months, says Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter, who believes the loonie’s underlying value may be just north of 90 cents.

The dollar ended the day’s trading at 96.34 cents US, down 24 cents from Friday’s close, as nervousness over the approaching debt ceiling deadline in

Washington intensified.

World Economics calculates the relative value of currencies by measuring relative purchasing power and excludes temporary factors that tend to influence traders.

Coincidentally, the Bank of Montreal last week issued a price comparison between U.S. and Canada that also showed consumer items on average costing 10 per cent more north of the border, exactly what the World Economics measures would suggest.

The TD Bank earlier this year issued a forecast calling for the loonie to fall as low as 90 cents by the end of 2013.

Home sales post small increase

New optimism seen for end to U.S. shutdown OFFICIALS SAY AGREEMENT COULD COME TODAY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Time growing desperately short, Senate leaders took command of efforts to avert a Treasury default and end the partial government shutdown Tuesday night after a last big attempt by House Republicans abruptly collapsed.

Aides to both Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, expressed revived optimism about chances for a swift agreement — by today at the latest — that could pass both houses.

Their efforts toward a bipartisan resolution had seemed likely to bear fruit a day earlier before House conservative were given a lastminute chance for their version.

As hours ticked down toward Thursday’s Treasury deadline, the likeliest compromise included renewed authority for the Treasury to borrow through early February and the government to reopen at least until mid-January.

While a day of secret meetings and frenzied manoeuvring unfolded in all corners of the Capitol, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., stood on the Senate floor at midafternoon and declared, “We are 33 hours away from becoming a deadbeat nation, not paying its bills to its own people and other creditors.”

In New York, the stock market dropped and the Fitch rating agency warned that it was reviewing the government’s AAA credit rat-

A specialist works at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Tuesday. The stock market dropped and the Fitch rating agency warned that it was reviewing the government’s AAA credit rating for a possible downgrade, though no action was near. ing for a possible downgrade, though no action was near.

The firm, one of the three leading U.S. credit-ratings agencies, said that “the political brinkmanship and reduced financing flexibility could increase the risk of a U.S. default.”

According to Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, unless Congress acts by Thursday, the government will lose its ability to borrow and will be required to meet its obligations relying only on cash on hand and incoming tax receipts.

President Barack Obama and numerous other officials in government and finance have warned of severe eco-

nomic consequences if federal obligations come due that can’t be paid.

By all accounts, though, an end seems near for the impasse that has once again exposed a government so divided that it sometimes borders on dysfunction.

Though the House failed to muster sufficient support for a conservatives-only bill in the GOP-majority chamber on Tuesday, enough Republicans there seem likely to join House Democrats to approve a bipartisan version if it can be approved by the Senate and sent to them.

Politically, neither party is faring well, but polls indicate Republicans are bearing the brunt of public unhappi-

ness as survey after survey shows their approval ratings plunging.

There was no indication Tuesday night of the terms of a possible deal under discussion by Reid and McConnell, although the contours of an agreement had already come into shape on Monday, before what amounted to a daylong detour to give Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans time to craft their solution.

As it stood previously, the bipartisan Senate talks were focused on a plan to allow the Treasury to borrow freely through Feb. 7 and reopen the government with enough funds to carry over to mid-January.

OTTAWA — Canadian home sales posted a small month-over-month increase in September, but the market showed some signs of cooling and the number of new listings declined.

The Canadian Real Estate Association said Tuesday that home sales were up just under one per cent from August to September, while overall activity remained on par with the 10-year average in September.

And while last month’s sales were up 18.2 per cent compared with September 2012, CREA said that was because last year’s figures were unusually weak.

“Year-over-year increases in the sales over the past couple of months highlights how activity softened across much of the country following the introduction of tighter mortgage rules last summer,” said Gregory Klump, CREA’s chief economist.

“While the momentum for sales activity began improving a few months ago, it may be losing steam after having only just climbed back in line with an average of the past 10 years,” he added.

Sales improved on a month-over-month basis in just over half of all local markets, with gains in Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto offsetting declines in Calgary and Montreal.

About 340,980 homes have traded hands across the country so far this year, or 1.8 per cent below levels recorded in the first three quarters of 2012.

Robert Kavcic, a senior economist with the Bank of Montreal, said the monthly figures were somewhat better than expected, but cooler than the 2.6 per cent per month pace seen over the prior four months.

“We suspect that much of the strength over that period was in response to higher mortgage rates i.e., buyers jumping in before lower-rate approvals expired and that activity should fade later in the year,” he said.

The level of sales, he added, is only about five per cent above the 10-year average.

The national average price for homes sold in September 2013 was $385,906, an increase of 8.8 per cent compared with a year ago.

Peavey Mart network comes to Rocky Unemployment dips in region BUT RATE REMAINS HIGHEST IN ALBERTA

Unemployment in the Red Deer region fell 0.4 percentage points between August and September, according to the latest figures from Statistics Canada. But the area continues to have the highest jobless rate in Alberta.

The national statistical agency calculated the local unemployment rate at 5.4 per cent in September, an improvement over 5.8 per cent in August but up from 4.8 per cent last September.

The seasonally adjusted provincial average for September was 4.3 per cent, as compared with 4.8 per cent in August and 4.4 per cent a year earlier.

Of the eight regions in Alberta, the LethbridgeMedicine Hat area had the lowest jobless rate in August, at 3.2 per cent. Banff-Jasper-Rocky Mountain House was the next lowest, at 3.4 per cent, followed

by Athabasca-Grande Prairie (3.7 per cent), Wood Buffalo-Cold Lake (4.2 per cent), Camrose-Drumheller (4.4 per cent), Calgary (4.8 per cent) and Edmonton (5.2 per cent).

Alberta’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was tied with Saskatchewan’s for the lowest in Canada. The national rate was 6.9 per cent, which was down 0.2 percentage points from August.

Alberta’s labour force decreased by 7,600 people between August and September, while employment increased by 4,000 positions. Full-time jobs grew by 7,500, while part-time employment was down by 3,500.

Ag producers earn recognition A pair of Central Alberta ag producers have been recognized by the Alberta Food Processors Association.

Rock Ridge Dairy Ltd., which is located between Lacombe and Ponoka and is operated by Patrick and Cherylynn Bos, recently received two 2013 Alberta Food Awards: one for best value-added beverage utilizing Alberta grains, dairy or produce; and the other for best value-added dairy product or product where

dairy-based ingredients are a significant portion of the product content (cheese, yogurts, etc.)

Meanwhile, JRK Farms of Three Hills, which is owned by Jim Hugo, received an Alberta Food Award for best value-added baked or cereal product using Alberta grains as a primary ingredient.

Rock Ridge Dairy produces goat milk and cheese, as well as organic cow milk, while JRK Farms makes stone-ground whole wheat flour.

Rocky Mountain House has joined the Peavey Mart network.

Red Deer-based Peavey Industries Ltd. opened a store in Rocky on Oct. 2. Located at 5127 50th St., the new outlet’s 23,000-square-foot premises was previously occupied by Zellers Select.

“It’s our kind of market,” said Peavey Industries president Doug Anderson, describing how Rocky serves a thriving rural area as well as a strong acreage community.

He noted that the Rocky store is far enough away from other Peavey Mart communities, including Red Deer and Lacombe, that it shouldn’t draw business away from its sister stores.

“Overall, it works really well for us.”

Peavey Marts carry a broad range of hardware products, as well as work clothing, agricultural supplies, lawn and gar-

den supplies, and more.

There are now 30 stores in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia, with another slated to open in Spruce Grove early next year.

Peavey Industries also operates the MainStreet Hardware store in Blackfalds, with a second MainStreet store scheduled to open in Vermilion in about a month.

The Rocky Peavey Mart will employ about 13 to 15 staff, said Anderson, and will be open seven days a week. He said the response from the town has been very favourable.

“The public support and the public comments have been extremely positive.”

Operating in Western Canada since 1975, Peavey Mart is Western Canadian owned. It has a 150,000-square-foot distribution centre in Red Deer and about 700 employees.

Seminar to feature presentations on accessing export markets

STORIES FROM PAGE B1

LOONIE: Canada’s trade performance in deficit Porter’s own projection is for a 95 cent loonie by year’s end, drifting lower toward 90 cents over the next few years.

He says his calculation looks at other factors besides purchasing power, including world commodity prices, unit labour costs, relative productivity measures and trade.

“If your underlying trade deficit is quite large, it’s an indication something is askew with the value of your currency,” he said.

“And if you are constantly dealing with an overvalued currency, those sectors in the economy affected by the exchange rate, like manufacturing and tourism, will struggle.”

Canada’s trade performance with the rest of the world has been in deficit for almost two years and widened to $1.3 billion in August.

The loonie is not alone in trading far from its fundamental value.

According to World Economics, France’s euro tops the list of overvalued major currencies at 28 per cent above it’s purchasing power, followed by Japan, measured to be overvalued by 25.6 per cent, and Brazil at 22.5 per cent.

Germany is only marginally overvalued by 1.4 per cent, which the report notes “imposes great strains on some members of the currency union,” since other euro nations have wider gaps between the value of their currency and the actual purchasing power.

On the other side of the ledger, the organization says India has the largest undervaluation at 45.5 per cent, followed by Mexico (23.4 per cent), and China (12.9 per cent).

CREA: Listings declining CREA said year-over-year average price gains in recent months reflect the decline in sales activity recorded last year in some of Canada’s larger and more expensive markets, which caused the national average price to drop.

If Greater Toronto, Greater Vancouver and Calgary were removed from the national average price calculation, the year-over-year increase would be 4.3 per cent.

There were 1.4 per cent fewer newly listed homes in September compared with August, the association said, adding that while the Canadian housing market has tightened it continues to remain balanced.

Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Calgary, Greater Toronto, London, St. Thomas, Ont., Ottawa and Montreal all saw listing declines.

“Any worry about a hard landing in Canadian housing has quickly become a faint memory and underlying conditions are more balanced than the flashy headline results suggest,” Kavcic said.

“Softer activity through the fall should keep price growth (and Bank of Canada concerns) in check.”

The Canadian Real Estate Association is one of Canada’s largest single-industry trade associations, representing more than 106,000 realtors working through more than 90 real estate boards and associations.

Central Alberta businesses with an appetite for international growth will find a smorgasbord of information this Friday at a workshop organized by Central Alberta: Access Prosperity and the provincial government.

Teamsters warn of possible strike or lockout at CN Rail on Oct. 28

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The Teamsters union is warning of a potential strike or lockout at CN Rail starting on Oct. 28.

The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference said in a statement Monday that its offer to continue a conciliation effort, which ended Oct. 7, has been rejected.

The union represents some 3,300 conductors, trainmen, yardmen and traffic co-ordinators at CN (TSX:CNR).

Spokesman Roland Hackl says the union is “extremely disappointed“ by CN’s refusal to extend mediation to forge a contract to replace one that expired July 22.

A CN spokesman says the company is optimistic it can reach a settlement with the union “to avoid labour disruption in Cana-

da,” adding the earliest date for a strike or lockout is one minute after midnight on Oct. 29.

Mark Hallman said in an email Tuesday that the two sides are scheduled to resume collective bargaining on Oct. 21, with the help of federally appointed mediators. He said those mediators had acted as conciliators during the conciliation process that ended Oct. 7.

Hackl, the union spokesman, said in his statement that the railway is using an old tactic of “pointing a gun to its workers’ heads to force them to make concessions.”

Hackl said the concessions being sought would see CN workers work longer hours with less rest time in between trips.

He said this “flies in the face of scientific research on fatigue

management“ and seems to contradict CN CEO Claude Mongeau‘s July statement that railways had to make safety their ”number one priority.“ “CN’s managers have to walk the walk and talk the talk; they have to understand that people are not machines and that you should never place profits before people,” added the union statement.

Hallman said CN does not comment on on-going labour negotiations as a matter of policy.

But he added: “CN stresses that none of its bargaining proposals would in any way compromise the health and safety of TCRC members.

Indeed, it is our opinion that CN’s proposals would positively affect the health and safety of our employees.”

Twitter’s losses mount ahead of IPO DESPITE DOUBLING REVENUE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Twitter’s losses are mounting as the online messaging service prepares to make its stock market debut.

A regulatory filing Tuesday disclosed the San Francisco company lost nearly $65 million during the three months ending in September.

That’s the largest quarterly setback that Twitter has suffered during the past three years.

Twitter lost about $22 million at the same time last year.

In a development likely to hearten prospective investors, Twitter’s revenue more than doubled from last year to nearly $169 million.

But the company’s rising losses could dampen some of the enthusiasm for Twitter’s initial public offering.

The IPO is expected to be completed next month, though the company hasn’t set a target date.

Twitter ended September with 232 million active users, up from 218 million in June.

FRASER INSTITUTE

Report says pipeline safer mode of transport than rail or truck THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A report by the Fraser Institute released Tuesday says pipeline is by far the safest way to transport oil when worker injury rates are compared, but it remains unclear which is the safest from an environmental standpoint.

Using data from the U.S. Department of Transportation between 2005 and 2009, the study found the rates of injury requiring hospitalization in the U.S. were 30 times lower among pipeline workers than rail workers involved in shipping oil.

For truck transport, the difference is even more stark, with an injury rate 37 times higher than oil transport by pipeline. When it comes to spills, road transport fared the worst, with nearly 20 incidents per

billion ton-miles. Rail had just over two incidents per billion ton miles while pipelines had less than 0.6 per billion tonne miles.

The report notes that pipelines tend to release more crude per spill than rail, but much of that is often recovered quickly.

With pipelines such as the controversial Keystone XL pipeline — which would connect Canadian crude to Texas refineries — in regulatory limbo, producers have been increasingly turning to rail to get their crude to market.

But concern over the safety of using that mode of transport has intensified since a runaway crude-laden train derailed in Lac- Megantic, Que., this summer, killing 47 people and destroying much of the downtown area.

The Treasury sold $30 billion in sixmonth bills at a high rate of 0.15 per cent, compared to 0.06 per cent in last week’s sale.

Commodities were generally lower after optimism over reaching a U.S. debt deal sent prices higher for copper, oil and gold on Monday.

The gold sector led advancers, up about 3.1 per cent even as December bullion declined $3.40 to US$1,273.20 an ounce. Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX) was ahead 65 cents to C$18.46 while Goldcorp (TSX:G) climbed 49 cents to $24.97.

BlackBerry (TSX:BB) rose 15 cents to $8.50 as it appealed to customers to stay with the troubled smartphone maker while it restructures.

In an open letter released Monday afternoon on Twitter and Facebook, and in some newspapers Tuesday, BlackBerry tells its “customers, partners and fans” that they can continue to count on the company.

The financials sector was also higher with National Bank (TSX:NA) ahead 54 cents to $86.36.

The Sunday Times reported that TD Bank is considering buying the Royal Bank of Scotland’s U.S. retail business Citizens for US$13 billion.

TD Bank and RBS both declined comment on the report and TD (TSX:TD) shares fell 19 cents to $92.32.

The energy sector was slightly higher as the November crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange was off $1.20 at US$101.88 a barrel, its lowest close since July 2. Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) gained 44 cents to C$33.74.

In earnings news, chip giant Intel posted quarterly earnings per share of 58 cents after the close. That was five cents better than analyst estimates. Its stock was up 2.2 per cent in after-hours trading in New York.

EU gives final OK to joint banking supervisor

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LUXEMBOURG — European Union officials on Tuesday approved the creation of a centralized banking supervisor, but squabbled over the next steps in the 28-country bloc’s quest to stabilize its financial system.

Finance ministers at a meeting in Luxembourg cleared the final legal hurdle to the establishment of the new banking supervisor, which will be operated by the European Central Bank and directly oversee the bloc’s 130 biggest banks.

“This marks an important step,” German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said.

The so-called single supervisory mechanism is due to be operational late next year after assessing European banks’ balance sheets to identify possible capital shortfalls. If the supervisor finds that a bank needs help, a bank rescue authority would step in to unwind or prop up ailing lenders.

It would have a fund of money at its disposal.

These various parts make up the EU’s so-called banking union, an effort to make sure that a bank failure in one country does not overwhelm an individual state, threatening the wider region’s stability.

However, the ministers were still

far from reaching an agreement on some issues, mainly how to design and fund a bank rescue authority.

Germany and other countries that have paid the bulk of Europe’s bailout programs have concerns about the institution’s legal basis and fear their taxpayers will be stuck with bills to clean up messy banks in Europe’s weaker economies.

Luxembourg Finance Minister Luc Frieden argued the 17-nation eurozone needs a credible financial backstop since most banks operate across borders.

Michel Barnier, the EU Commissioner in charge of financial sector reforms, added that the new banking supervisor cannot work if there isn’t alongside it a bank rescue authority that can take the actions needed to keep the financial system stable.

“A banking union also requires action to restructure non-viable banks when necessary,” he said.

European officials are determined to spare taxpayers from having to pay for further bank bailouts, and plan to rely instead on a levy to be paid by banks to build up the backstop fund.

The EU hopes to reach an agreement over the next two or three months to ensure the legislation can make its way through the European Parliament, whose term ends in May.

Australian PM hopes Parliament will pass bills dumping carbon tax THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CANBERRA, Australia — Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Tuesday he hoped Parliament would pass legislation dumping Australia’s carbon tax by Christmas.

Abbott revealed that Parliament would sit on Nov. 11 for the first time since his conservative coalition won government at elections on Sept. 7.

High on the agenda will be bills to repeal the carbon tax paid by Aus-

tralia’s worst industrial polluters.

The legislation would be sure to pass the House of Representative, where the government holds a clear majority. But the outcome is uncertain in the Senate, where no party holds a majority of seats.

“I would like the Senate to consider this matter as quickly as possible,” Abbott told reporters, adding that he wanted the Senate vote before Christmas.

The unpopular carbon tax was introduced

by the former centre-left Labor Party government and has been levied since July 2012.

Labor leader Bill Shorten stands by the tax which is designed to curb Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Australia is among the world’s worst carbon gas emitters on a per capita basis.

Abbott plans to end the tax from July 2014.

Electricity bills would fall by 9 per cent and gas prices by 7 per cent with the tax gone, Abbott said.

Ireland unveils 7th straight austerity budget

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Ireland unveiled its seventh straight austerity budget Tuesday, a plan to slash 2.5 billion euros ($3.4 billion) from next year’s deficit and pave the way for the nation to escape from its international bailout.

Finance Minister Michael Noonan told lawmakers he was confident that Ireland can resume normal borrowing on bond markets at affordable rates by December, when the country’s bailout funds run out.

Noonan said Ireland’s bailout escape was certain because the Irish treasury had already “stockpiled” about 25 billion euros ($34 billion) to ensure that the

nation’s bills can be paid through 2014.

The move comes three years after Ireland was forced by the crippling cost of bank rescues to seek 67.5 billion euros in emergency loans from the European Union and International Monetary Fund.

Police deployed heavily outside Leinster House, the parliamentary building, and key streets in central Dublin to ensure that hundreds of anti-austerity protesters did not try to block the roads.

Ireland has been raising taxes and slashing spending since 2008, when a Celtic Tiger boom fueled by cheap eurozone credit ended, bringing six domestic banks to the brink of failure. Ireland was forced in 2010 to abandon the bond markets when its own bor-

rowing costs soared.

Noonan said Ireland expected to slash its 2014 deficit to 4.8 per cent, much better than the previously agreed EU-IMF target of 5.4 per cent. Aiming for a smaller deficit should help Ireland sell bonds more cheaply.

The cost of bank bailouts forced Ireland to hit an EU-record 34 per cent deficit in 2010.

Noonan, whose government was formed in 2011, noted that Ireland had consistently beaten its deficit-reduction targets since then.

He said Ireland’s debt-to-GDP ratio would peak at the end of this year at 124 per cent, then decline next year to 118.4 per cent.

Polei surprised by trade NEW REBELS FORWARD CONVINCED HE HAD A FUTURE WITH BLADES BEFORE BEING TRADED

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Evan Polei was convinced he had a future with the Saskatoon Blades.

His immediate future is now with the Red Deer Rebels. The 17-year-old forward admitted Tuesday that he didn’t expect to be traded from the Blades to the Rebels last week.

“I was surprised. Saskatoon had told me a bunch of good things from their point of view, but then they called me off the ice during warm-ups and said I was traded,” he said. “So yeah, it was a big surprise.”

The Wetaskiwin product drew rave reviews during the Blades’ training camp and looked good in the preseason. But when the serious Western Hockey League games started, he was with the Sherwood Park Crusaders of the AJHL. “They told me I got into a comfort zone, that I could have been a little more aggressive out there,” said Polei, when asked what message he received from the Blades when he was reassigned to the Crusaders. “They said I didn’t play like I wanted a spot on the team, that it was more like I thought I had a spot on the team.

“But no one has a (guaranteed) spot

on a team, so it was a wake-up call. I was told that one of the reasons they sent me home was to wake me up and get me going again.”

The Blades recalled Polei when they ran into injury problems and he appeared in two games with the club before being dealt to the Rebels. So far he has yet to record a point in four WHL games — including two with the Rebels — but is confident it’s just a matter of time before he shows up in a scoring summary.

The six-foot-one, 228-pound winger put up some respectable numbers with the midget AAA Edmonton Southside Athletics last winter, scoring 17 goals and adding 15 assists in 34 regularseason games.

“I’ve been getting some chances this season, the puck just hasn’t went in the net,” he said. “But I feel that if I use my size I can create room and opportunities for myself.”

Rebels general manager/head coach Brent Sutter is hopeful that Polei will use his bulk to provide the Rebels with a physical presence both now and over the next two to three seasons. The Rebels bench boss has also made it known that he wants the big forward to get himself into better physical condition.

Evan Polei was surprised by the trade that brought him to the Red Deer Rebels from the Saskatoon Blades but the big winger is going to be looked upon to provide a physical presence for the Rebels.

Crosby gets three assists as Pens edge Oilers PITTSBURGH STAYS UNBEATEN AT HOME WHILE EDMONTON LOSES FOURTH STRAIGHT

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Penguins 3 Oilers 2 PITTSBURGH — Evgeni Malkin stood in the right circle just watching the play unfold in front of him when the puck suddenly materialized on his stick with nary a soul around.

The empty net never had a chance. The Pittsburgh Penguins centre wristed his second goal of the season 7:20 into the third period to put the Penguins in front for good in a 3-2 win over Edmonton on Tuesday night.

“Tough angle, great shot by Geno,” Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby said. “He’s been getting chances, it’s always nice to see them go in.”

Something that seems to be happening a lot for the Penguins, who remained unbeaten and largely unchallenged at home. Crosby assisted on all three Pittsburgh goals to vault him into the NHL scoring lead, two of the assists going to linemates Chris Kunitz and Pascal Dupuis.

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 20 shots to improve to 5-0, including a handful of spectacular saves to fend off the Oilers, who twice rallied to tie the game.

“He’s making all the right saves at the right time,” Kunitz said.

Ales Hemsky and Jordan Eberle scored for Edmonton.

Jason Labarbera made 25 saves but was nowhere to be found on the game-winner.

The Penguins were on the power play when Crosby fed defenceman Paul Martin at the point. Martin wound up for a one-timer but instead dribbled a knuckler that slow-

“I didn’t know what happened,” Labarbera said. “I look over and the puck is on his stick and I was kind of in no man’s land.”

The Oilers fell to 1-5-1 to quell some early optimism the franchise is heading in the right direction behind former

No. 1 picks Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nail Yakupov.

“We’ve got to find ways to win games, that’s the bottom line,” Labarbera said. “Every one of us needs to step it up a bit more and find a way to win.” It was the Oilers’ fourth straight loss.

The Penguins haven’t trailed at home yet this season and wasted little time jumping

on the well-travelled Oilers, who were playing their third game in four nights.

Crosby, coming off a hat trick in a victory in Tampa on Saturday, collected the puck behind the Edmonton net and flipped a pass that deflected off Kunitz’s stick and went right to Dupuis, who slipped a shot between Labarbera’s legs to make it 1-0 just 3:08 into the first period. Pittsburgh

dominated the first 20 minutes but the Oilers collected themselves early in the second.

A 5-on-3 power play failed to produce a goal but the momentum from the end of the penalty allowed Edmonton to tie it. Jeff Petry threw in a shot from the point and David Perron jumped on the rebound but his shot into a wide-open net went off the post and behind Fleury. Hemsky raced in and poked it across the goal line for his second goal of the season.

Kunitz made it 2-1 Pittsburgh just past the game’s midway point, though he left the hard work up to Dupuis and Crosby.

Racing in three-on-two, Dupuis’ wrist shot at the net was deflected by Crosby. The puck glanced off Labarbera’s glove and slid toward the net.

Crosby raced behind the net and was about to tap it in only to have Kunitz beat his good friend to the punch by a split second.

“It happened pretty quick, I’m going to check my stick to see if there’s a mark or a little chip on it,” Crosby said with a laugh.

Still, the Oilers kept coming. Fleury, arguably Pittsburgh’s best player during the team’s quick start, ended up sprawled in front of the net during a scrum and was unable to secure the puck. It trickled out to Eberle, who lifted a backhand over a sea of players with 4:01 remaining in the second.

It wasn’t enough, however, for Edmonton to end a miserable opening two weeks or put a dent in Pittsburgh’s perfect record at Consol Energy Center.

Monahan hopes to keep rolling FLAMES’ ROOKIE LOOKING TO KEEP POINTS STREAK ALIVE AND HELP TEAM WIN ON WEST COAST ROAD TRIP CALGARY — Sean Monahan was just nine years old the last the last time the Calgary Flames won in Anaheim.

If the impressive rookie can stay hot when Calgary starts a five-game western road swing there on Wednesday, the surprising Flames may be able to put that dubious distinction to rest. A win in Southern California would be a boost to the Flames (3-0-2). The last time they won in Anaheim was back on Jan. 19, 2004 when the Ducks (4-1-0) were still known as the Mighty Ducks.

“I never knew that, so I think that would be cool to get a win there,” said Monahan, who scored the gamewinning goal in Calgary’s last game at home on Friday to propel the Flames to a 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils.

Monahan is currently riding a fourgame, goal-scoring streak. The sixfoot-two, 185-pound centre leads the Flames with four goals, to go with two assists, and has recorded at least one point in every game he has played.

“I’m sure you guys realize how ma-

ture he is for a guy who’s just turned 19 (on Saturday),” said Calgary captain Mark Giordano. “If you watch him play, if you really watch his game, he’s such a smart, headsy player. You can’t teach what he has. He’s in a great spot all the time and when he gets those chances around the net he finishes, so it’s been pretty to watch so far.”

Calgary used the sixth overall selection to choose Monahan in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft last June and the Flames still have the option to send him back to junior with the OHL’s Ottawa 67’s. Monahan’s entry level contract will kick in as soon as he plays his 10th game with Calgary, which is slated to take place on Oct. 24 in Dallas against the Stars.

Calgary coach Bob Hartley hasn’t yet discussed the possibility of assigning Monahan back to the 67’s with general manager Jay Feaster or president of hockey operations Brian Burke.

“We know how to count to nine, so eventually we’ll have a breakfast or a lunch or a dinner,” Hartley said. “I’m sure we’re going to be talking about it.”

For now, Monahan will just go about his business of turning heads with

his play in an effort to stick with the Flames for the rest of the season.

“I’m going to try and be the same player I’ve been and just continue to learn things and build on my game and try and be an everyday pro and let the cards fall where they fall,” said Monahan, who is coming off of backto-back 78-point seasons with the 67’s.

“I’m here to do my job and do my part and they’re going to make the decision whenever they want to, so we’ll see what happens.”

Fellow Flames rookie Sven Baertschi has enjoyed playing on the same line with Monahan and is hoping they can continue to build upon the chemistry they have developed.

“We understand each other really well, so it makes it easier to make plays right now,” said Baertschi, who has put up a goal and two assists through five games.

“For him, the main thing is he’s just got to keep going, to keep playing the same way he’s playing. In the end, that’s the decision somebody else has to make for him. He’s been great here.

He’s been outstanding.”

Baertschi knows what it’s like to be under the microscope as a highly-

touted, first-round pick of the Flames.

Calgary’s 13th overall selection in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft started the season with the Flames last year, but was sent down to play in the minors with the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat after going scoreless in his first four games.

Baertschi was eventually recalled and finished the season on a sevengame point-scoring streak, during which time he had three goals and six assists.

“I really enjoy it right now that I’m not always in the spotlight,” said Baertschi, who wants to do his part to extend Monahan’s current streak. “He should keep doing that well, so I can just do my thing and relax and make sure he’s scores goals and keep him happy.”

Monahan credited Baertschi with helping him through the process of adapting to life in the NHL. “Obviously we’re both kind of in the same boat right now and we’re both working hard to try and play on this team full time,” Monahan said. “Sven’s a good player. We get along. We talk a lot on the ice, off the ice. Right now, we’re finding each other. I think we’re only going to get better.”

Cards down Dodgers to get one win away from World Series

Boston Red Sox’s Mike Napoli hits a home run in the seventh inning during Game 3 of the American League championship series against the Detroit Tigers Tuesday, in Detroit.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Napoli blast leads Red Sox over Tigers in pitching duel Red Sox 1 Tigers 0 DETROIT — Once again this October, one run was enough.

The Boston Red Sox scored it — and now they lead an AL championship series that seemed to be slipping away last weekend.

John Lackey edged Justin Verlander in the latest duel of these pitching-rich playoffs, and Boston’s bullpen shut down Detroit’s big boppers with the game on the line to lift the Red Sox over the Tigers 1-0 Tuesday for a 2-1 advantage in the ALCS. Mike Napoli homered off Verlander in the seventh inning, and Detroit’s best chance to rally fell short in the eighth when Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder struck out with runners at the corners.

“This game had the feel it was going to be won or lost on one pitch,” Boston reliever Craig Breslow said. “Lackey kept us in the game. Every inning where he was able to throw up a zero gave us a lift.”

Despite three straight gems by their starters, the Tigers suddenly trail in a best-of-seven series they initially appeared to control. Game 4 is tonight at Comerica Park, with Jake Peavy scheduled to start for the Red Sox against Doug Fister.

Peavy set the tone Tuesday during a pregame news conference, when he sounded miffed that so much of the attention was focused on Verlander before Game 3.

“It’s been funny for me to watch all the coverage of the game coming in,” Peavy said. “Almost like we didn’t have a starter going today. Our starter is pretty good, too.”

Lackey backed that up and then some.

He allowed four hits in 6 2-3 innings, striking out eight without a walk in a game that was delayed 17 minutes in the second inning because lights on the stadium towers went out.

“I think that little time off gave him a chance to slow down a little bit. He was excited and pumped that first inning,” Boston catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. “Kind of getting excited with his slider, throwing a little too hard and leaving it over the middle, but he was still pretty effective.”

It was the second 1-0 game in this matchup between the highest-scoring teams in the majors. Dominant pitching has been a running theme throughout these playoffs, which have included four 1-0 scores and seven shutouts in the first 26 games.

“The runs are pretty stingy,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “This is what it’s about in post-season, is good pitching.”

After rallying from a five-run deficit to even the series in Game 2, Boston came away with a win in Detroit against one of the game’s best pitchers. The Tigers had a chance for their own comeback in the eighth when Austin Jackson drew a one-out walk and Torii Hunter followed with a single.

But Cabrera, who failed to reach base for the first time in 32 post-season games for the Tigers, never looked comfortable against Junichi Tazawa, swinging and missing at the first two offerings and eventually chasing an outside pitch for strike three.

“To me, I (got) myself out. I was swinging at a lot of balls out of the strike zone,” said Cabrera, who has been banged up for a couple of months but homered in Game 2. “When you swing at balls, you’re not able

to have success.”

Fielder looked even more overmatched against Koji Uehara, striking out on three pitches.

Uehara also worked the ninth for a save, ensuring that Lackey’s fine performance wouldn’t go to waste.

Lackey pitched poorly his first two seasons in Boston after signing an $82.5 million, five-year contract in December 2009. Then he missed all of 2012 following elbow ligament-replacement surgery.

He’s been better this season, and he kept the defending AL champions off balance Tuesday by effectively changing speeds.

“He just never gave in,” Saltalamacchia said.

Napoli’s first at-bat in the majors was against Verlander on May 4, 2006, at Comerica Park. He homered then, too.

“He’s tough. He was on his game tonight. He was keeping all of us off balance,” said Napoli, who rubbed his bat on teammate Jonny Gomes’ beard before going up to the plate. “I got to a 3-2 count and put a good swing on a pitch, was able to drive it.”

In the last two games, the Tigers have started Verlander and 21-game winner Max Scherzer — and the Red Sox won both.

Throw in Anibal Sanchez’s outstanding effort in the opener, when the Red Sox managed only a ninthinning single in a 1-0 loss, and Detroit’s three starters in the ALCS have combined to allow two runs and six hits with 35 strikeouts in 21 innings.

Still, the Tigers have fallen behind because their bullpen blew a four-run lead late in Game 2 and the offence came up empty at home on Tuesday.

Detroit stranded runners on first and third in the first, then wasted Jhonny Peralta’s leadoff double in the fifth. Peralta reached third with one out, but an overanxious Omar Infante struck out and Andy Dirks grounded out.

Verlander needed every bit of focus after Jacoby Ellsbury’s one-out single in the sixth. The Tigers have not held runners well this year, but a number of pickoff throws helped prevent a steal.

Cardinals 4 Dodgers 2 LOS ANGELES — Matt Holliday and pinchhitter Shane Robinson connected for the first home runs of the NL championship series, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 Tuesday night to take a 3-1 lead in their best-of-seven playoff.

In a series starved for offence, the Cardinals scored as many runs as they did in the first three games combined, when the teams totalled nine runs.

Game 5 is this afternoon at Dodger Stadium, with the Cardinals one win from the World Series. Zack Greinke is set to start for Los Angeles against Joe Kelly.

Of course, St. Louis had a 3-1 lead in last year’s NLCS before dropping three straight to San Francisco, the eventual World Series champion.

It was a painful defeat for the Dodgers — in more ways than one. Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez, playing with a broken left rib, left in the middle of the sixth after striking out three times.

“It got worse as we went along,” manager Don Mattingly said.

St. Louis third baseman David Freese came out after six innings. He left Monday’s game with a cramp in his right calf.

Hitless in his previous 22 at-bats at Dodger Stadium, Holliday sent a two-run shot off Ricky Nolasco an estimated 426 feet to left field, capping a three-run third that gave the Cardinals a 3-0 lead. Seeking a second title in three years, St. Louis turned three important double plays and

picked off a runner at second base in the seventh. Defensive standout Pete Kozma, inserted at shortstop in the sixth, started a difficult double play and darted in to complete the pickoff.

Second baseman Matt Carpenter also keyed St. Louis’ sharp work with the gloves, one night after some sloppy play was costly in a 3-0 defeat.

Carpenter had an RBI double in the third that scored David Descalso, who hit a leadoff single.

Carpenter came around on Holliday’s homer after there were none in the first three games for the first time in NLCS history.

Carlos Martinez pitched two scoreless innings in relief of winner Lance Lynn. Trevor Rosenthal got three outs for his second save in the series.

After a leadoff single by Andre Ethier in the ninth, Yasiel Puig grounded into a double play. Juan Uribe struck out to end it, leaving the Dodgers on the brink of elimination. Now, they’ll count on Greinke and ace Clayton Kershaw to pitch them back into the series.

“Kind of the best thought I have is, I’ve got one of the best pitchers in baseball pitching tomorrow,” Mattingly said.

Sabres’ Kaleta suspended 10 games for hit to head on Blue Jackets’ Johnson UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta has been suspended by the NHL for 10 games for an illegal check to the head of Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Jack Johnson last week.

The punishment, which will cost Kaleta $152,439 in lost salary, was handed down Tuesday by the league’s Department of Player Safety. Kaleta is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players’ association.

Kaleta was suspended for five games last season after he shoved New York Rangers centre Brad Richards from behind and into the boards. That ban cost Kaleta $72,000 in salary. Kaleta was suspended two other times earlier in his career.

The latest hit took place at 3:10 of the first period of Buffalo’s 4-1 loss to Columbus on Thursday. Kaleta wasn’t penalized in the game.

Kaleta already missed games against Chicago and Minnesota, while awaiting an in-person hearing on Tuesday. He then sat out that night’s game at the New York Islanders.

Kaleta’s lost salary will go to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund. He is eligible to return Nov. 2 against Anaheim.

Chimera fined for hit on Oilers’ Schultz NEW YORK — Washington Capitals forward Jason Chimera has been fined for a hit on Edmonton Oilers defenceman Justin Schultz.

The NHL announced Tuesday night that Chimera was fined $4,487.18 — the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement — for boarding Schultz in the first period of the Capitals’ 4-2 win Monday.

Chimera was given a minor penalty on the play.

Cal Ripken’s mother unhurt after being carjacked ABERDEEN, Md. — Police say a man with a handgun approached baseball great Cal Ripken’s mother in a bank parking lot in Maryland and demanded her car, but she activated a key alarm and he left.

Authorities say 75-year-old Vi Ripken wasn’t hurt Tuesday and a suspect is now in custody.

Police spokesman Lt. Frederick Budnick says Ripken entered the bank afterward to alert authorities in her hometown of Aberdeen, north of Baltimore.

The spokesman says charges are pending. He didn’t immediately identify the suspect.

Last year, Vi Ripken reported being kidnapped at gunpoint from her Aberdeen home. She returned unharmed 24 hours later. No one has been arrested in the case.

Jamaican Olympian tests positive amid inquiry of nation’s policy KINGSTON, Jamaica — A Jamaican who competed in taekwondo at the London Olympics says he has tested positive for a banned substance.

Kenneth Edwards said in a statement Tuesday he was notified about the results a month ago and he is awaiting results of a backup sample.

Edwards says he has not competed since July and there was no practical reason to use a diuretic for any kind of preparation. He says he will challenge the findings.

The announcement comes as the world’s anti-doping authority launches a sweeping audit of Jamaica’s drug-testing agency amid allegations of inconsistent testing.

Doping investigations also are underway involving other Jamaicans, including sprint stars Veronica Campbell-Brown, Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson.

Orr’s book a mix of life and hockey

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Bobby Orr waited 35 years after his final NHL game to write a book.

The result is a reflection on the nostalgia of playing hockey on frozen ponds growing up in Parry Sound, Ont., the physical and emotional pain of knee injuries that cut his career short and the off-ice struggles that the legendary Boston Bruins defenceman hasn’t talked much about.

Orr: My Story was also created as something of a how-to book by a grandparent about how parents, coaches and children should approach the sport.

“I touch a lot of things, people who have made a difference, people who have sacrificed so I could reach my goals,” Orr said in an interview with The Canadian Press. “I talk about a lot of different things and finally I convinced myself that maybe I could put something together that the reader will get something from.”

Over roughly 300 pages, Orr, with the help of author and former player Vern Stenlund, describes his beginnings as a talented young rushing defenceman through his Hall of Fame NHL career. Lessons, like his father’s hands-off approach to hockey, are dropped in along the way.

“People would come up to my father and say, ‘Your son’s going to play in the NHL,”’ Orr said. “And he’d come to me and say, ‘Look, go out and play, have fun and we’ll see what happens.’ That’s how it should be.”

Regrets aren’t a major part of the narrative, aside from the knee injuries that limited the eight-time Norris Trophy winner to just nine full NHL seasons and parts of three more. In the past, Orr hadn’t been all that open about discussing his knee issues, and this book offers a look into the psychology of injury and the mindset of an athlete robbed of the physical ability to do what his mind thinks he can.

“In the end that’s why I stopped,” he said. “I had a way I played, and I just couldn’t play like that anymore. I couldn’t skate. Skating was my game, and I just couldn’t play the game that I used to play, and that was very difficult. To finally sit there and say, ‘Hey, it’s over, you’ve taken my skates from me, I can’t play anymore’ was a very difficult thing to do.

But I just couldn’t do it.”

Orr mentions early on that it wasn’t his intention to dig up dirt from the past. For much of the time, the focus remains on his journey to the NHL and the two Stanley Cups he won with the Bruins.

The one person who isn’t spared harsh criticism is former agent and former NHL Players’ Association executive director Alan Eagleson, who stole money from Orr and others along the way. Orr’s finances were destroyed by a man who went on to be convicted of fraud and embezzlement.

Orr had to be convinced by the book’s publisher to write about Eagleson, but he conceded it was the right decision and then didn’t hold back.

“He stole from the guys that he was representing and back in those days, early on, this was supposedly going towards pensions for the players,” he said.

“Here’s a man, he’s been a convicted felon, stripped of his Order of Canada, out of the Hall of Fame, disbarred. What he did was disgraceful to the people that trusted him like I did. I trusted Alan. He was like a brother and I trusted him with everything.

Not only me but so many players, he hurt so many players. It’s incredible.”

Orr left plenty of room for praise, especially of his wife, Peggy, several minor-hockey coaches, and the player he still admires more than any other, Gordie Howe. Perhaps more than anyone else, Orr singles out Don Cherry, as an entire chapter is devoted to “Grapes,” one of his coaches with the Bruins and a longtime friend.

“Don came to Parry Sound for an Easter Seals skate-a-thon, so before leaving town we went over to see Grandma Orr,” Orr said. “Gram Orr was, she was over 90 then and she was a little lady. We walked in, she didn’t see very well and I walked over and said, ‘You know Don Cherry.’ She’s looking up at him and she says: ‘I like you. You’re the only one that tells the truth,’ and she’s poking him in the chest. She’s over 90. Like him or dislike him, they watch and they listen.”

Orr contends that Cherry belongs in the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder, more for his years on Coach’s Corner as a respected voice than for his one game as a player and six seasons as an NHL head coach.

That’s far from the only opinion Orr shares. Now an agent and the head of The Orr Hockey Group, the 65-year-old believes fighting and hitting should remain in the game but that the red line should be put back in and the trapezoid behind the net taken out to reduce injuries.

“I think today our game is a little more danger-

Rose blooms in elite field at PGA Grand Slam THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda — U.S. Open champion Justin Rose birdied the first hole with a blind shot he hit to a foot of the pin, and he stayed in front Tuesday until he completed a 4-under 67 for a two-shot lead over Jason Dufner in PGA Grand Slam of Golf.

The 36-hole exhibition, which concludes Wednesday, is for the four major champions of the year. British Open champion Phil Mickelson chose not to play and was replaced at Port Royal Golf Course by three-time major champion Padraig Harrington.

Dufner, who won the PGA Championship, opened with a 69. Masters champion Adam Scott struggled late in the wind for a 70. Harrington, who won the PGA Grand Slam last year as an alternate, shot 74.

Rose opened the round with a shot so far off line that he was in the rough near the second fairway. Facing a blind approach over trees and

water, he cut a 6-iron to tap-in range for birdie.

“It should have been the shot of the day,” Rose said. “It followed the worst shot of the day.”

Rose made three more birdies on the front nine and was tied briefly by Dufner and Scott. But while Dufner and Scott struggled on the back nine as the wind picked up, Rose challenged the course record until bogeys on the 13th and 14th holes. Rose made an 8-foot par putt on the 15th, and he was the only player to make par on the 16th.

Harrington said he might skip a few tournaments toward the end of the year because of too much golf.

“Already in my head, (I have) pulled out of another two events during the winter to give me a long winter break,” Harrington said. “And it will be probably the longest winter break I’ve taken probably since I won my majors. I played stale golf, tired golf. There’s not a shadow of a doubt that I am completed over-golfed at this very moment.”

‘I PLAYED A STYLE THAT MOST DEFENCEMEN DIDN’T PLAY. COACHES DIDN’T LIKE THAT STYLE: DEFENCEMEN GOING DOWN THE ICE.’ — BOBBY ORR IN HIS NEWLY RELEASED BOOK ORR: MY STORY

ous because of the size of the players, the speed of the players, the strength of the players, and we have no barriers,” Orr said. “I like the open game, but I think we’ve got to really be careful now. The players always have to be aware of where they are. Many of them are coming through the middle with their heads down. We are a contact game, but the thing we’ve got to rid of, we’ve got to get rid of those high, blind-side hits, the hitting from behind.”

Even with the concerns about getting hit, Orr said he’d enjoy playing today because as a creative skater and puck handler he’d have more room to work with than during his career. But he doesn’t know if his risky style would be tolerated, especially growing up in an age where kids learn systems and are coached to make the smart play from a young age.

“I played a style that most defencemen didn’t play,” he said. “Coaches didn’t like that style: defencemen going down the ice. They did not ask me to change from the time I was 14 through junior and into the pros. They just thought that’s the way I was most effective, and I would hope if I was coming into the game today that the coaches and the team would think the same thing.”

Times have changed, something Orr freely acknowledges. The innocence of he and his friends leaving in the morning to play hockey and being told

by their parents to be home by dark just isn’t possible in a lot of places anymore.

But that doesn’t mean Orr is afraid to share his philosophies, like the notion that children — even if they’re that “Next One” — shouldn’t play hockey year-round and should be encouraged to play other sports. More than an attempt to get the NHL to change its rules, Orr wants his autobiography to be a teaching tool for parents, coaches and young players.

“We don’t have any control on what goes on at the NHL level in minor sports. But we’re supposed to have control over our kids’ programs,” Orr said.

“There should be rules (for) what happens inside their organizations, and we all have to work together to make sure it’s a great experience for every kid.”

Eric Lindros’s parents asked Orr’s folks for advice when Lindros was the so-called “Next One.” Their answer was to do nothing, a sentiment their son tries to pass along decades later.

“I guarantee any of the parents, if your son or daughter has the ability to play at a higher level, as long as they’re having fun, as long as they love the game, as long as they have passion for the game, they’ll get a chance,” Orr said. “Keep in mind, .0025 per cent of all kids playing hockey ever play one game (in the NHL), so the chances of your son being the one, it’s slim.”

Schools join science quest TAKE PART IN NATIONWIDE QUEST WITH 84 OTHERS FOR GUINNESS RECORD

BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF Two Central Alberta schools are looking to become part of a new world record on Friday. École Mother Teresa School in Sylvan Lake and Red Deer’s St. Francis of Assisi Middle School have joined 84 others in the nationwide quest for the Guinness World Record for the largest simultaneous science lesson.

At 11 a.m. Mountain time, thousands of students of all ages will begin a paper airplane lesson, exploring gravity and atmosphere by building three different planes, one suitable for Earth, one for the moon and one for Mars.

The lesson and three experiments are set to take 30 minutes, to be followed by a discussion.

“We heard about it through an email from central office and myself and a Grade 8 teacher thought it would be a unique opportunity to bring a couple different groups of students together in a science environment,” Michelle Frunchak, a Grade 6 teacher at St. Francis said.

“It’s also to generate more buzz and excitement around the field of science.”

As far as Frunchak knows, it’s the first time the school is participating in a world record event. It’s the same situation at Mother Teresa, said principal Dorice Swensrude.

“The students are excited. They enjoy hands-on activities and they read the Guinness World Record books,” Frunchak said.

About 300 students in Grades 6 and 8 will be taking part from St. Francis, as well as the entire student body (420 students) from Mother Teresa.

Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Da-

vid Saint-Jacques will join participants at one of the top five locations with the largest number of participants.

The event also serves as the official launch of the 2013 national science and technology week, which is seven days dedicated to raising awareness about “the importance of science and technology in today’s world” and celebrating “Canada’s historic and ongoing role as a leader in innovation,” says the government of Canada’s official science portal, science.gc.ca.

Canada set the world record last year for the “largest practical science lesson at multiple venues” when experiments demonstrating the Bernoulli principle were performed simultaneously at 88 locations, including classrooms, science centres and museums from British Columbia to Newfoundland. The experiments involved a total of 13,701 participants. rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate.com

After 21 years attending council meetings nine years of which he presided as mayor, Morris Flewwelling sat in the mayor’s chair for the last time during a council meeting Tuesday. A new mayor will be elected Monday October 21 when the people of Red Deer go to the polls to elect a new council.

Outgoing Mayor Flewwelling praises productive council TIME TO HAND IT OVER SAYS 21-YEAR VETERAN

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Mayor Morris Flewwelling presided over his final council meeting on Tuesday after spending 21 years in public office.

The agenda was light as the 2010-2013 council called it a term in less than two hours.

A new council will be elected on Oct. 21 and sworn in on Oct. 28.

Flewwelling applauded council’s record over the last three years.

He tipped his hat to a laundry list of projects, major plans like the strategic direction and the graffiti, dog and smoke-free bylaws.

He did not shy away from highlighting some of the more controversial issues including fluoride, snow and ice removal, the bike lane pilot, and the first proposed site for the Red Deer Native Friendship

Centre housing project.

“You have been a very busy, productive and effective council,” Flewwelling, 72, told council.

“I am very proud of the record of council of 2010.”

Following the meeting, Flewwelling said there are always regrets when leaving anything.

Flewwelling served as a councillor for three consecutive terms and one term in the 1970s.

Two of his proudest moments over the years included mending and strengthening the relationship with the County of Red Deer and helping to lead the housing and homelessness initiative in Red Deer, which led the nation.

“We weren’t just doing, we were leading the nation,” said Flewwelling. “I will — MAYOR MORRIS FLEWWELLING never forget the minister of housing came here and He said if he did not have handed me the first cheque to fight through an election, of the first grant from the fedhe may have carried on for eral government because we another couple of years. were the first community to “For the good of the com- apply for it successfully and munity, I think after someone get funding for federal houshas been mayor for nine years ing money.” it’s time to hand it over and Flewwelling was named let somebody else take some one of Alberta’s 50 Most Influleadership for our communi- ential People in 2013. ty,” said Flewwelling.

Lowering the Red Deer crime rate is a top priority in the municipal election, according to the recent Red Deer Advocate survey of council and mayor candidates.

Throughout the campaign, numerous statistics have been cited indicating Red Deer has a high crime rate.

Recent statistics show a varied level of crime, with national rankings rating the city high relative to the rest of Canada, but local statistics showing a decrease in crime.

The most commonly cited statistics the municipal campaign come from Maclean’s magazine articles showing Red Deer as the second most dangerous city in the country, according to the Dec. 7, 2012, article, and the fourth most dangerous city a year prior.

Mayoral candidate Dennis Trepanier cited these rankings at allcandidate forums on Oct. 2 and Oct. 8. The Red Deer First slate cites the most recent Maclean’s article on their website. The subject has also been a hot topic at forums, with candidates being asked about the root causes of crime.

The rankings are based on the national crime severity index of the top 100 most populous cities in Canada.

Each year, Statistics Canada releases the Crime Severity Index (CSI) based off the previous year’s police-reported crime statistics.

However, the index ranks every city with a population of 10,000 people or more, which more than doubles the scope of the Maclean’s magazine research.

In the 2012 CSI, based of 2011 crime statistics, Red Deer ranks 17th.

And according to the 2011 CSI, based off 2010 crime statistics, Red Deer ranks 19th.

Since the release of the last Maclean’s article, newer CSI numbers have been released. According to the most recent CSI, based on 2012 crime statistics, Red Deer ranks 10th. According to the statistics, Red Deer saw an increase in non-violent crime, but a small decrease in violent crime.

In 2011, there were six murders in Red Deer. From 2006 to 2010, there were five murders and since the peak in 2011, there have been four murders in the city. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com.

Red Deer city council candidates are clearly not on the same page when it comes to city business.

According to the Red Deer Advocate civic vote questionnaire, which ran in Saturday’s paper, the 29 respondents were most divided on the issues of ward versus at-large systems, backyard chickens, and spending on cultural facilities and sports facilities.

When it comes to representation, 19 chose to stay with the existing at-large system while 10 preferred the move to a ward system.

Candidates Bettylyn Baker and Stephen Coop answered they would not support a coun-

CIVIC VOTE QUESTIONNAIRE cil motion that brings in a ward system if the plebiscite results in the majority of voters favouring a ward system.

Sixteen of the respondents said more money should be spent on cultural facilities and more sports facilities.

Thirteen said less money should be spent on cultural facilities such as libraries, museums and performance facilities.

Four candidates –– Chad Mason, Stephen Coop, Serge Gingras and David Helm — said recreation user fees should increase, while the remaining 25 said they should stay the same.

Twenty-five respondents supported a 50-metre pool while Mason, Jerry Anderson, Terry Balgobin and Coop did not give

support to a proposed project.

Five candidates –– Coop, Garry Didrikson, Calvin GouletJones, Calvin Yzerman and Tim Lasiuta –– do not support the city borrowing money to finance capital projects.

Most candidates listed bike lanes as the lowest priority and a lower crime rate as the highest on a list that included more snow removal, fewer potholes, lower tax rates, new recreation facilities, new cultural facilities, lower crime rate, improved park system, weed control and homelessness.

Backyards chickens were supported by 16 candidates and all candidates threw their support behind community gardens.

A year-round public market was supported by 24 candidates while Didrikson, Tanya Handley, Lawrence Lee, Frank Wong and Dawna Morey said no.

All respondents also agreed that safety is an issue in downtown Red Deer.

The questionnaire was sent to the 35 candidates running for council. Cindy Jefferies, Dennis Trepanier and Jonathan Wieler all declined to participate. Bob Bevins and Dennis Moffat did not response.

Tara Veer did not meet the deadline.

The respondents were asked 16 questions on a number of issues facing the city.

BRIEFS Historic Arches to be unveiled

Two staff members from Chinook’s Edge School Division in Innisfail have been recognized by the Canadian Association of Communicators in Education.

Sandy Bexon, the division’s communications officer, and administrative assistant Mandy Pusey were awarded the Bravo Awards of Excellence for the board’s 2012 COLT (Central Office Leadership Team) Roadshow Journal, an interactive web feature.

Bexon won in the communications category and Pusey won in the projects design section.

The Bravo Awards are the highest level of awards presented by the national organization.

They honour exemplary work in all aspects of school public relations, communications, marketing and engagement.

There were 16 recipients from across the country this year.

Public reminded to watch for suspicious activity Red Deer RCMP are asking the public to be more aware of suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods.

The city faces a growing battle against drugs and police remind the community they cannot solve this issue alone.

Indicators of drug activity include: a large amount of vehicle and foot traffic coming and going from a residence or vehicle and repeated, observable exchanges of items and money.

Noxious odors coming from a residence with the blinds always drawn and high humidity in the windows could indicate a possible marijuana grow operation as well.

RCMP ask the public not to assume they already know about the suspicious activity or that a neighbour will call it in.

Anyone who sees activity they think may be drug related should document patterns they observe and contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575.

COUNCIL: Final acts ● One of the final orders of business for the 2010-2013 Red Deer city council was to fight for more control over power bills. After passing a bylaw amendment that will boost power bills on average by $5 to $6 across the city, council unanimously passed another motion to add Electric Utility Bylaw to its advocacy priority list.

The increase stems from the 35 per cent expected spike in the Alberta Electric System Operator transmission costs this month. Council re-iterated its frustrations over its lack of control over power bills in the province. ● The city will actively participate with the Red Deer Early Years Coalition to champion the first 2,000 days

Lacombe, planners honoured for work The City of Lacombe and its land use planning and design consulting firm, ParioPlan, have been honoured for their proposed work on the downtown.

The two partners were presented with the Award of Merit for the Downtown Area Redevelopment and Urban Design Plan, also known as DARP, at the annual Alberta Professional Planners’ Institutes’ Conference in Jasper on Oct. 7.

The DARP plan was recognized in the comprehensive and policy category as a document that advances the field of planning and provides meaningful guidance to the municipality.

The plan was developed over the course of a year and involved extensive community consultation.

The downtown redevelopment outline also includes objectives for pedestrian safety, development of arts programs and heritage conservation.

Edmonton-based ParioPlan was hired by the city to develop and format the plan, which included drafting project maps, formatting documents and preparing material for all public consultation events.

The plan was adopted by council in January 2013.

Mayor to proclaim day for ending poverty Red Deer Mayor Morris Flewwelling is set to read a proclamation recognizing International Day for the Eradication of Poverty on Thursday at 10 a.m.

The reading will take place on the west steps of City Hall, followed by an update from the Central Alberta Poverty Reduction Alliance (CAPRA).

According to Lori Jack, CAPRA’s co-chair, the group has identified eight poverty reduction priorities for the

of a child’s life and assist with the recruitment of multi-sector partners. City council gave support to the coalition –– known as Child and Youth Friendly Red Deer, following a motion brought forward by Coun. Dianne Wyntjes. The motion was passed unanimously. This also sets the table for the pending social master plan. ● The City of Red Deer will take a stronger step forward in its fight against the province’s centralized approach to ambulance dispatch.

Coun. Tara Veer introduced a motion that calls on the province to reverse its decision and publicly states the city’s position that “its regional dispatch is essential to our ability to maintain an integrated ALS ambulance service and a responsive dispatch system.” The motion was read into council and will be discussed at the next council meeting on Nov. 4 crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

“The priorities are a living wage, affordable transportation, social isolation for people in poverty, multi-sector recruitment, literacy, existing employment options and opportunities, financial literacy and defining and creatively showing the face of poverty in Red Deer to Red Deer,” Jack said in a news release.

National and provincial research shows lone-parent families, aboriginal people, recent immigrants and people with disabilities are the populations most vulnerable to poverty.

CAPRA hopes the eight priorities will be used by regional leaders when making policy decisions to improve life for those in such vulnerable positions.

“With the identification of these priorities, our community and our leaders have some tangible tasks to take on — tasks that focus on reducing poverty as opposed to momentarily alleviating it,” said Amanda Ens, community facilitator for Social Planning with the city.

“Our goal is to help people out of poverty and into possibility.”

Annual LED Christmas Light Exchange coming Christmas is fast approaching and one of the first signs is the return of the annual LED Christmas Light Exchange, presented for the fifth year by the City of Red Deer and the Kerry Wood Nature Centre.

Starting today, Red Deer residents looking to trade old Christmas lights for new energy-efficient ones can stop in at the nature centre at 6300 45th Ave. to make the switch.

Bring in two strings of incandescent bulbs and receive one free box of multi-coloured LED lights in return.

The wire from the lights received is recycled as scrap metal.

Bailey Doepker, the city’s environmental program specialist, said thousands of exterior house lights have been exchanged since the program started in 2009, saving residents on

their power bills and reducing energy footprints overall.

An average home operating six strings of incandescent Christmas lights for around six hours a day consumes about 78 kWh of energy over the holiday season.

By replacing those old lights with the equivalent number of LEDs, only five kWh is used for the entire month to operate their lights, saving enough energy to power an average Red Deer home for about four days.

For more information, call the Kerry Wood Nature Centre at 403-346-2010 or the city’s Environment Initiatives Department at 403-342-8750, or visit www.reddeer.ca/environment.

Hormones trump history SUDSY TEEN SERIES REIGN MORE FOCUSED ON FUN THAN FACT: STAR ‘...THIS IS A PROJECT OF HISTORICAL FICTION. YOU NEED TO TAKE IT WITH A LARGE GRAIN OF SALT... ’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The sudsy teen series Reign is heavy on the intrigue, betrayals and romantic foibles of Mary Queen of Scots and her royal entourage, and admittedly light on actual history.

This is a reimagining of what life was like for the young monarch, not a recreation, says star Adelaide Kane, who makes no bones about injecting a healthy dose of hormone-fuelled turmoil into one of history’s most fascinating figures.

Still, the 23-year-old notes that judicious references to actual fact — along with the peppy pop soundtrack — will propel main plot points throughout the season.

“There’s obviously a lot of expectation, there’s been a little bit of criticism about our historical accuracy and I do feel a lot of responsibility to the show and to the character and to the historical figure, of course,” Kane says during a recent break in shooting from a Toronto set.

“At the end of the day, this is a project of historical fiction. You need to take it with a large grain of salt because it’s entertainment. We’re making a drama, we’re making a fun show and that’s what it is — it’s the suspension of belief, it’s a fantasy and I think it’s going to be really enjoyable and really fun and I’m trying very hard to create my own character.”

As such, the Australian actress imbues the strong-willed monarch with a mix of passion, uncertainty and a streak of independence.

It all begins in 1557 with a teenage Mary Stuart, who reigned as the Queen of Scotland from the time she was just days old, arriving in France to formalize a strategic alliance by marrying the French king’s son Prince Francis, played by Toby Regbo.

Complicating matters are the king’s illegitimate but charming son Bash, played by Vancouver native Torrance Coombs, and the meddling of Francis’s protective mother Catherine de Medici, played by former Anne of Green Gables star Megan Follows.

BRIEFS Coal Creek Boys to play The Hideout

— STAR ADELAIDE KANE

Admittedly, there isn’t much mystery to the love triangle that emerges since history has shown Mary wed Francis at age 15.

But Kane says that still leaves plenty of room for racy courtly drama along the way — stopping just shy of the bodice-ripping escapades of more adultskewing fare, she adds.

“She’s lonely and (Bash) is there for her and understands her and is one of the few people who has nothing to gain by hurting her or selling her out,” Kane says of Mary, who was married

and widowed three times by the time she was executed at age 44.

“I think that that’s a very dangerous thing for her when Francis thinks she’s pretty and cares for her as a person and as his childhood friend but sees her more as a political tool at first.”

Filmed on location in Toronto and Ireland, the teen series is destined for the CW in the United States and the newly branded M3 (formerly MuchMore) in Canada.

It features plenty of Canadian content, including Rossif Sutherland

(Kiefer’s half-brother) as a younger, more swoon-worthy prophet Nostradamus, Alan Van Sprang as a randy King Henry and Follows, who trades in her wholesome Anne Shirley image for a decidedly more dastardly role.

“It’s kind of nice being the villain,” Fellows says of the darker TV part, noting she generally only gets to tackle more varied roles in the theatre.

“They let me have some fun, for sure.”

Although Reign is clearly crafted to complement a CW lineup of brooding vampires and hunky super heroes, Fellows says it offers a refreshing focus on intimate personal dynamics.

“What’s interesting is having it in a removed time from ours — there’s not the pyrotechnics of technology and computers and quick phone calls, you know,” she says.

“It’s actually all brought down to this deeply kind of human level of drama playing out — the love, the betrayal, the secrets, the lies, the intrigues — and it’s all happening under the roof of this castle.”

Kane says the key thing for her is to make sure her Mary remains relatable.

“I want people to understand why she does the things that she does and I want her to be flawed and to be human,” she says.

“And that’s more important to me than trying to satisfy people by being a stickler for a historical portrayal of her, because nobody really knows what she was like.”

Reign debuts Wednesday on M3. Encore episodes air Saturdays on M3.

Dino Scavo is from the Cranbrook area, where he studied traditional interments like accordion, mandolin and banjo.

And backup singer Ali Stuart is from Southern Alberta.

There’s no cover charge for the 9 p.m. show. For more information, call 403-348-5309.

made up of a trio of transplanted former Red Deer residents.

Rimbey native John Lenherr is the drummer, his beehive-sporting girlfriend, Marie-Eve “Merv” Mallet, is the vocalist and guitarist, and her equally tall-haired sister Veronique “Vern” Mallet also sings and plays the guitar and keyboards.

The women are originally from New Brunswick, but the trio met while living in Red Deer. All three musicians have since moved to Ontario.

Silvergun and Spleen won $20,000 radio station contest that paid for a new CD recording — Semi Truck was released last fall.

The heavy-hitting “pelvic rock,” dance band was getting regular gigs in the Ottawa area, and as far away as Montreal and Toronto, before entering The Big Money Shot contest sponsored by radio station Live 88.5 FM. Despite the group’s distinctly urban sound, Lenherr believes some rural sensibilities are retained in the hard rock influences that lie beneath the synthesizers.

“I might live in Ottawa, but I’ll always have my rural roots.”

Abandoned Commitment-shy guy prison not for has young girl confused and sad the faint of heart

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — An abandoned prison would seem creepy enough around Halloween. Now add blood-curdling screams and gruesome characters who can reach out and grab you.

That’s the formula for “Terror Behind the Walls,” the signature scarefest at historic Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, which is billed as the nation’s largest haunted house outside an amusement park and staged for several weeks each fall at one of the city’s most unusual tourist sites.

With its castle-like walls and decaying cellblocks, the deserted complex already conveys a particularly menacing air. What better place for gory scenes and sinister sound effects?

“The building is abandoned, and it’s beautiful, and it’s eerie, and it was built to intimidate,” said Sean Kelley, director of public programming. “People travel from all over the country to come here for Halloween.”

As daring souls slink and cringe their way through the decaying property, deranged prisoners accost them for stepping on the wrong turf; overwhelmed guards scream for help; infirmary patients howl in pain under the care of disturbed doctors.

Dear Too: We’re sorry you have been stonewalled, but this is not uncommon. Of course, it would be nice if she would tell you why you’ve been cut off, giving you the opportunity to explain or apologize. And there is nothing wrong with giving a blanket apology, not necessarily for wrongdoing, but for somehow damaging the relationship, even unintentionally. But too many people believe that spelling out the reason would be more damaging than silence, or they may subscribe to the mind-reading school, thinking you should “know” the reason. The fact that no other person will intercede on your behalf indicates there is little hope of reconciliation or of finding the explanation you desire. Accept it and move on.

Dear Annie: Tell “Trying To Get Granny To Shower” that for around $200, Granny’s bathtub can be made safe and easy. A shower seat is just the beginning. Add a hose extension to the showerhead so she can direct the flow where she wants it and not have water get in her face. Then install a pole that extends from floor to ceiling just outside the tub so she can hold on as she gets in and out.

PROCTOR Dr. John 1937 ~ 2013 Dr John Proctor, beloved husband of Gayle Proctor, passed away peacefully on October 11, 2013 at the age of 75 years with his family and friends by his side. He leaves to mourn and celebrate his amazing life, his wife, Gayle Proctor, his son Marty and wife Pam Proctor of Calgary and their children Chad, David and James; and his son Bradley Proctor, of Lethbridge.

Bill and Margaret Leigh of Edmonton and their family; Geri and Len Wahlund and Erin Wahlund, of Sherwood Park and Sheldon and Liz Bolduc and their family, of Lac La Nonne. John will be missed by his friends in Alberta, Arizona and beyond.

John was born in Liverpool, England. He was in the Merchant Marines before immigrating to Alberta. John earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Education, and a Doctorate of Philosophy degree from the University of Alberta.

He taught in Strathcona County, worked for the Department of Education in curriculum development, and taught at the U of A while earning his PhD. John and Gayle and their Pathfinders company led literary training workshops for teachers in Alberta from 1993-2002. John and Gayle moved from the Edmonton area to Lethbridge to be closer to their sons Marty and Bradley.

Bradley and John shared a joint passion for rock hounding and silversmithing. John was a passionate and articulate teacher who incorporated music in his programs. He played guitar with friends and family in Alberta and in his Mesa winter home in Venture Out. John and Gayle shared interests in silversmithing, golf, and tennis. Many friends and family treasure John’s silver creations and the musical gatherings at his home. At John’s request, no formal service will be held. He acknowledged and appreciated the many prayers he received. John’s family appreciates the excellent care he received from Drs. Benke and Kollias and Dr. Donald Gibb, and the dedicated staff at Chinook Regional Hospital. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Canadian Cancer Society, 317 10th Street South, Lethbridge AB, T1J9Z9 or a charity of your choice.

Death toll rising from Philippines quake

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CEBU, Philippines — The death toll from a 7.2-magnitude earthquake that struck the central Philippine island of Bohol on Tuesday rose to 93, as rescuers struggled to reach patients in a collapsed hospital.

Centuries-old stone churches crumbled and wide areas were without power.

Bohol police chief Dennis Agustin said 77 of the deaths came from the province. At least 15 others died in nearby Cebu province and another on Siquijor Island.

The quake struck at 8:12 a.m. and was centred about 33 kilometres (20 miles) below Carmen city, where many small buildings collapsed.

Many roads and bridges were reported damaged, making rescue operations difficult.

But historic churches dating from the Spanish colonial period suffered the most.

Among them was the country’s oldest, the 16th-century Basilica of the Holy Child in Cebu, which lost its bell tower.

Nearly half of a 17th-century limestone church in Loboc town, southwest of Carmen, was reduced to rubble.

The highest number of dead

— 18 — were in the municipality of Loon, 42 kilometres (26 miles) west of Carmen, where an unknown number of patients were trapped inside the Congressman Castillo Memorial Hospital, which partially collapsed.

Rescuers were working to reach them, said civil defence spokesman Maj. Reynaldo Balido.

As night fell, the entire province was in the dark after the quake cut power supplies.

Windy weather and rain also forced back a military rescue helicopter.

Authorities were setting up tents for those displaced by the quake, while others who lost their homes moved in with their relatives, Bohol Gov. Edgardo Chatto said.

Extensive damage also hit densely populated Cebu city, across a narrow strait from Bohol, causing deaths when a building in the port and the roof of a market area collapsed.

The quake set off two stampedes in nearby cities.

When it struck, people gathered in a gym in Cebu rushed outside in a panic, crushing five people to death and injuring eight others, said Neil Sanchez, provincial disaster management officer.

“We ran out of the building, and outside, we hugged trees because the tremors were so strong,” said Vilma Yorong, a provincial government employee in Bohol.

“When the shaking stopped, I ran to the street and there I saw several injured people.

Some were saying their church has collapsed,” she told The Associated Press by phone.

As fear set in, Yorong and the others ran up a mountain, afraid a tsunami would follow the quake. “Minutes after the earthquake, people were pushing each other to go up the hill,” she said.

But the quake was centred inland and did not cause a tsunami.

Offices and schools were closed for a national holiday — the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha — which may have saved lives.

The earthquake also was deeper below the surface than a 6.9-magnitude temblor last year in waters near Negros Island, also in the central Philippines, that killed nearly 100 people.

Aledel Cuizon said the quake that caught her in her bedroom sounded like “a huge truck that was approaching and the rumbling sound grew louder as it got closer.”

A private guard looks at the rubble near the damaged Basilica of the Holy Child, background, following a 7.2-magnitude earthquake that hit Cebu city in central Philippines and toppled the bell tower of the Philippines’ oldest church Tuesday. The tremor collapsed buildings, cracked roads and caused multiple deaths across the central region, sending terrified residents into deadly stampedes.

She and her neighbours ran outside, where she saw concrete electric poles “swaying like coconut trees.” It lasted 15-20 seconds, she said.

Cebu city’s hospitals quickly moved patients into the streets, basketball courts and parks.

Cebu province, about 570 kilometres (350 miles) south of Manila, has a population of more than 2.6 million people.

Cebu is the second largest city after Manila.

Nearby Bohol has 1.2 million people and is popular among foreigners.

Mosque bombing kills Afghan provincial governor

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan — A bomb in a mosque killed a provincial governor Tuesday in the highest profile assassination in recent months, part of an intensified campaign to intimidate Afghanistan’s administration as it prepares for elections and the withdrawal of foreign troops after 12 years of war.

The bomb killed Gov. Arsallah Jamal of eastern Logar province as he delivered a speech at the main mosque in the provincial capital of Puli Alam to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.

The attack also wounded 15 people, five of them critically, said his spokesman, Din Mohammad Darwesh.

The New York Times reported Jamal was also a Canadian citizen but Canadian officials in Ottawa

would not confirm, citing privacy laws.

Jamal was a close confidant and adviser to President Hamid Karzai, who strongly condemned that bombing, saying it was an attack “against Islam.”

“Terrorists and the Taliban working in the name of Islam carry out attacks that result in the killing of innocent Muslims. Surely it is not the act of Muslims, but those who have been hired to kill Muslims,” Karzai said.

He did not elaborate, but he has often blamed foreign interests, mostly in neighbouring Pakistan, of being behind many of the high profile attacks against members of his administration in recent years.

No group has claimed responsibility, but it bore the hallmarks of the Taliban, which has been fighting Karzai’s administration and the foreign military presence in Afghanistan since the U.S. invasion in late 2001. The group has made attacking government

officials a key part of its official military campaign this year.

In a message Monday timed for the Eid al-Adha holiday, the secretive leader of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Mohammad Omar, called for his fighters to intensify their campaign against Afghan and NATO forces, and he urged all Afghans to boycott the April 5 election that will elect Karzai’s successor. All foreign military combat forces are to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.

Logar, which is located just south of Kabul, was once a mostly calm province. But it has recently seen an influx of Taliban fighters and increased attacks against government forces.

Jamal, 47, was Karzai’s campaign manager during the 2009 presidential elections. He also was governor of Khost province until he was appointed to his current post in Logar in April.
