Brush with virus almost fatal

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

The first diagnosis when Tyler Nicolay began coughing up blood was bronchitis and a chest infection.

He was given an inhaler and a prescription for antibiotics and sent home from Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre’s emergency department on Aug. 10.

Three days later though, the Innisfailarea 18-year-old began throwing Tyler Nicolay up blood and went back to emergency.

This time there would be no going home anytime soon.

While no one knew at the time — and would not for more than a week — was that he was suffering from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.

Locked away and trying to raise the $1,500 bail they were both assessed by a celebrity judge, longtime friends Shelby Bowser, left, and Shae Oatham work the phones at the Parkland Mall on Thursday. The two, along with about 30 other jailbirds were apprehended Thursday to take part in the 26th Annual Jail-N- Bail fundraising event in support of the Canadian Cancer Society Central Alberta Chapter. This year the group hopes to reach its goal of $67,000.

Wildrose MLA presses ahead with bill to create seniors’ advocate

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Wildrose seniors critic Kerry Towle says seniors need a non-partisan advocate in their corner to help fight their battles.

That’s why she’s getting ready for second reading of her private member’s bill, the Seniors’ Advocate Act, to create an independent seniors’ advocate as an office of the legislature.

Second reading for Bill 208 is slated

for Monday in the legislature. If time runs out that day, it may be held over until Nov. 2. “(The province) created the Children’s and Youth Advocate and the purpose of that advocate was to help the vulnerable, help them navigate the system, and ensure the people in care are kept safe. I would argue that’s exactly the same argument that could be made for seniors,” Towle said.

The Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA said some will argue the Protection for Persons In Care Act should be enough.

But staff report directly to the Health minister so it’s not realistic that they would go against what the minister wants.

“People come to me because I’m the seniors critic. However, when I raise these issues with the minister of Health, inevitably his argument always is, ‘As member of the opposition you’re just making it worse than it is or that’s a one-off.’ ”

Riding the bus for the month of August, visiting construction sites and shaking more than 3,000 hands at 22 public markets paid off for incoming councillor Ken Johnston.

The 59-year-old retired banker is one of three Red Deer city council rookies, along with Lawrence Lee, 49, and Tanya Handley, 39, who will sit at the council table for the next four years.

Well-known for his community work, Johnston says he is most excited about the trust that people have put in him.

He says he believes in the city and looks forward to working with the varied perspectives on council. Johnston joins the political arena after recently

retiring following 40 years in banking.

“For people who don’t know me, I have a high energy and a sense of humour,” said Johnston. “They also need to know I have always looked at my life in the perspective of being in service.”

The learning curve is likely to be shorter for Lee than the other new faces. Lee has spent the last nine years, three as chairman, on the Red Deer Public Schools board. He will draw on his board and business experience to make a difference. He is a senior analyst for a financial services supplier.

“I am not very complex,” said Lee. “My biggest thing is to contribute as much as I can using my business, school of hard knocks and education (background).”

A2 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 25, 2013 The family lives on an acreage but Tyler didn’t spend a lot of time there and had not been cleaning out any sheds or doing anything else likely to bring him in contact with deer mice droppings.

“It’s just odd,” she said.

His symptoms also weren’t typical. Bleeding is not usually associated with hantavirus so it’s possible he had a pulmonary issue on top of the disease, she said.

Tyler thinks he might have picked up hantavirus from the heavy equipment he was driving. Mouse droppings were found on one of the machines later, he said.

He’s back driving his car now, but it will be some time before he is strong enough to work. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

WINDS OF HONOUR

SENIORS: Face difficult issues

Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

Annette Bradley of Red Deer guest conducts the Red Deer Symphonic Winds at the Red Deer College Arts Centre on Thursday. Bradley was joined on stage by six other women guest conductors who led the winds through a number of pieces. Also guest conducting Thursday were Diana Bushell, Kerry Heisler, Jennifer Mann, Laurie Shapka Thiel, Val Sherman and Lil Traquair.

Women of the Baton was the first concert of the season for the Red Deer College Symphonic Winds. “I feel a lot of times that people who are in the trenches, people who spend years and years nurturing students, don’t get recognized enough,” said Steve Sherman, director of the Symphonic Winds. He wanted to recognize the growing contribution of women conductors in the area.

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

VIRUS: Spread by deer mice It is a rare and potentially fatal disease carried primarily by deer mice and spread to humans through their droppings, urine or saliva. Typical symptoms are similar to the flu — fever, chills, body aches or trouble breathing.

On that second trip to the hospital, tests determined Tyler’s blood oxygen levels were unusually low and within hours he was airlifted by STARS to Calgary’s Peter Lougheed Hospital where one of Canada’s top pulmonary specialists is on staff.

He was soon transported to Foothills Hospital, which was equipped to undertake a procedure to remove Tyler’s plasma and replace it with healthy plasma.

For Tyler, the move to Calgary was worrying, but the transfer to the Foothills Hospital was really scary.

“After they told me I was going to Foothills I started panicking because they didn’t know what was wrong with me.”

Doctors began an exhaustive round of testing to find out what was wrong with their patient, a young man who only a day before had felt well enough to go to work driving heavy equipment at his construction job.

At first, it was thought he had an auto-immune disease, said Tyler’s mother Jamie.

“They tested him for everything. Anything you can imagine; drugs, anthrax and hantavirus, anything that can make you very, very ill.”

For Tyler, much of his treatment remains a blur.

“I don’t remember a lot of it. It felt like a really long nap and I woke up in hospital.”

While he was being treated, he was put into a medically induced coma for more than three weeks to keep him calm and to control his coughing, which caused renewed bleeding.

All the while the family, his mom and father Alvin and older sister Taylar and younger sister Maezie, had an agonizing wait to find out what was afflicting Tyler, who would be on life support for six weeks.

“He went in on (Aug. 13) and we found out on the 22nd of August what he had,” said Jamie. One of the reasons for the delay was that testing for hantavirus required the growing of cultures, which takes days.

Tyler was determined to get out of hospital before

THURSDAY Extra: 2237646 Pick 3: 171

LOTTERIES

his mother’s 40th birthday on Sept. 24. He made it with two days to spare.

“It was the best present anyone could ever ask for,” said Jamie.

The five-foot-11-inch (1.8 metres) teen came out of hospital weighing only 135 pounds (61 kg) having lost 36 pounds (16 kg) and much of his muscle mass during his lengthy stay.

He had received nine units of blood and had his plasma replaced four times during his treatment.

Twice weekly physiotherapy sessions are helping him rebuild his muscle and he’s already put back about 15 pounds (seven kg).

Tyler said he feels good. “Just like I was before.”

His thoughts on his near-fatal brush with hantavirus? “It’s amazing something that small can have that effect.”

Jamie said the ordeal is never far from her mind.

“We’re still trying to wrap our heads around how he got it. “We’re just happy he’s home and healthy.

“We almost lost him a few times in hospital. It’s just like a miracle happened.

“Thank God, he’s young because if he didn’t have youth on his side we’re not sure he would have walked away from this.”

The family can’t give enough credit to the numerous doctors, nurses and other health workers that tended their son, she said.

“Tyler had so many different doctors and nurses while he was in hospital and they were all so good.”

The first hantavirus case was identified in Alberta in 1989, and since then 70 cases have been confirmed, mostly in Western Canada. In June, a Saskatchewan man died from the disease.

Alberta’s previous last confirmed case was in 2012 when an unidentified Central Alberta man was infected.

Alberta Health issued an advisory on Aug. 27 after Tyler’s hantavirus was confirmed, urging those who expect to be around mouse droppings to take precautions, such as wearing rubber gloves and soaking areas littered with droppings with a bleach solution before cleaning up.

How Tyler picked up the disease remains a mystery. Symptoms usually take three to five weeks to show, which meant he picked it up early in the summer.

It’s possible he picked it up somehow at work, but no others at the construction company came down with the disease. He helped clean out a friend’s Bowden home a few weeks before, but again no one else got sick.

Towle said a seniors’ advocate would not answer to a provincial government department, just like the Children’s and Youth Advocate.

“It can be objective. It can find the weaknesses in the system, but it can also find the strengths. It has the ability to act on any complaint that it hears whether it be anonymous or identified. It has the ability to take the complaint directly from the senior, family member or even from the legislature.”

An advocate would have the ability to audit, investigate, provide recommendations to the legislature, and make its reports public, she said.

Seniors face difficult issues like Alberta Services’ “divorce-by-nursing-home” policy that allows married couples in long-term care to be split up. The distance that seniors can be separated has been reduced, but the policy should be scraped altogether.

Getting more than one bath a week remains a problem for seniors in care despite the government’s promise of two baths a week, she said.

“It’s not reality. There’s not enough resources for front-line workers to do two baths a week,” Towle said.

The advocate could represent seniors from around the province in the legislature by highlighting policy problems and demanding timely solutions.

Other duties could include assisting in appeals or reviewing decisions relating to long-term care or residential care, representing seniors under the Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act, and advocating on other regulated matters.

The seniors’ advocate could also investigate any systemic issues arising from a serious injury.

Towle urges Albertans to contact their MLAs and get them to support Bill 208.

COUNCIL: To be sworn in on Monday Handley may not have the board experience or the name recognition, but the mother of three is ready for the challenge. She was the sole candidate running under the Red Deer First banner to win over enough voters for the eighth and final spot on council.

Red Deer First, a group six candidates, ran on platform of fiscal responsibility.

“I am excited,” said Handley, an apprentice hair stylist who has a banking background. “I’m nervous.

I am starting to realize the magnitude of the learning curve.”

Handley’s husband, Ryan, was Red Deer First spokesperson and the man behind an anti-bike lane petition. During the campaign, many people got the impression that Ryan was really in charge.

“We both share very similar views on everything but there are lots of things that we disagree on,” said Tanya Handley. “We have some pretty good debates.

He definitely does not speak for me. I do value his opinion but I definitely form my own based on my beliefs.”

Handley said she ran on a platform of just being a regular person concerned about taxpayer dollars.

While the Red Deer First slate dissolved with the election, Handley says she still shares the views that she campaigned on.

Handley says she looks forward to getting to know the other councillors and learning more about her role.

The 2013-2017 Red Deer city council will be sworn in on Monday at City Hall. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

‘I’m not a scientist’ WILDROSE LEADER AGAIN UNDER FIRE FOR HEDGING ON CLIMATE CHANGE ‘I DON’T THINK PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN HEARING WHAT POLITICIANS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT SCIENTIFIC MATTERS. YOU CAN ASK SCIENTISTS THAT. MY OBLIGATION IS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A POLICY THAT MAKES SENSE.’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta’s Opposition leader is again under fire for refusing to take a stand on whether climate change exists.

Danielle Smith is being “weasely” and “disingenuous” for promising to fight greenhouse gases while refusing to say if she believes they are a problem in the first place, NDP Leader Brian Mason said Thursday.

“It’s a dodge,” Mason said.

“What she is saying is kind of weasely words. It’s trying to have it both ways (by saying), ’I personally don’t know if there is climate change or not, but we’re going to oppose (greenhouse gases) because other people think so.’

“That’s not leadership. Tell us what you think, Danielle, and then stand up for it.”

Smith made her comments Wednesday while taking questions from reporters on party resolutions to be debated at the Wildrose annual general meeting in Red Deer on Saturday.

Two of those resolutions deal with taking steps to reduce greenhouse gases.

On Wednesday, Smith stressed the

— DANIELLE SMITH WILDROSE LEADER

party wants to do something on emissions because the global community demands Alberta do so.

“We know we have to do something whether or not there are issues that are unsettled,” said Smith.

“We know we have to do something because we have obligations nationally and internationally. We also have our customers who are demanding that we produce our resources in a way that is more environmentally responsible.”

But Smith said the party will not issue a resolution on whether climate change exists. She said that would be unfair to do so.

“I don’t expect our members to be scientists,” she said.

“I just expect them to pass policy that allows us to give a pretty clear in-

dication of what we would actually do if we were government.

“I’m hopeful that our members will endorse us taking some clear action to reduce greenhouse gases and toxic emissions.”

When asked if she believes in climate change, she replied: “I’m not a scientist.

“I don’t think people are interested in hearing what politicians have to say about scientific matters. You can ask scientists that.

“My obligation is to make sure we have a policy that makes sense.”

Mason said the climate change question strikes at the heart of Wildrose credibility.

In the 2012 election, a Wildrose lead in the polls evaporated just days be-

fore the vote when Smith was criticized for refusing to toss overboard two candidates for anti-gay and racist remarks.

She was also booed in a late-campaign debate for insisting the science of climate change was not settled.

Premier Alison Redford leveraged those remarks by telling voters an Alberta leader heading to Washington and Brussels to preach that climate change may not exist would make the province a global laughingstock.

Mason said while the intolerant remarks of two candidates did some damage, Smith’s climate change denial was the kill shot.

“That confirmed for people in their minds that there was a problem (with the Wildrose), that it wasn’t just a couple of rogue candidates, but even at the leadership level there was some dogmatism that was troubling.

“If (Smith) is going to put that to rest, she has to come out and clearly say, ‘Yes, this party accepts that there is climate change that is human induced and it is a serious problem for us in Alberta — as it is around the world — and we need to take a stand and do something about it.”’

Government, industry defend air quality near petrochemical complex

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Alberta government and an industry spokesman are reassuring residents downwind of a sprawling petrochemical complex northeast of Edmonton that the air is safe despite research that says it contains dangerous levels of pollutants.

“We’re fairly confident that the data we’ve seen from monitoring the area demonstrates the air quality in the region is meeting acceptable standards,” said Neil Shelly of the Heartland Industrial Association, which represents 40 companies clustered in the 800-square- kilometre region.

An Alberta Environment spokeswoman said the air is closely moni-

tored by a local agency and cases where guidelines for toxic chemicals are exceeded are extremely rare.

Nikki Booth said that levels of benzene — one of the chemicals being emitted and a known carcinogen — only exceeded one-hour guidelines once in 2012 and not at all in 2011. She said the average annual benzene level was below guidelines in both years.

But a woman who helped conduct the research points out that her Nobel-Prize-winning lab has been to the region three times between 2008 and 2012 and recorded similar results each visit.

University of California scientist Isobel Simpson, co-author of a paper released Wednesday, concluded air downwind from what is called the In-

INDUSTRIAL SHOP LEASE

dustrial Heartland contains pollutants at levels equal to some of the world’s largest cities. Other pollutants, including some known to cause cancer, also measured well above background levels.

Although the paper doesn’t draw a cause-and-effect relationship, the research found rates of cancers linked to those chemicals were higher in communities closest to the stacks.

New Democrat MLA Rachel Notley said the doubt being cast on the study sounds like a script she’s heard before.

“Step one of the playbook is undermine the credibility of the people that raise the concerns and do that for a long time,” she said. “We’re back at step one again.”

Air quality in the region has been

monitored since 2003 by the Fort Air Partnership, which is funded by government and industry.

A private consultant hired by the group to review its work in 2012 gave it high marks.

Director Nadine Blaney said the group’s monitoring is designed to see if air quality meets standards.

“What we monitor for is regulated by the government of Alberta. They are mandating what we monitor.”

Simpson said that may not be enough. She said the effect of benzene, conclusively linked to blood cancers such as leukemia, seems to be cumulative and that even small doses are dangerous over long times.

The World Health Organization says there is no safe level for benzene.

Alberta wins in trade deal

BY MILOS BARUTCISKI AND MATTHEW KRONBY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Alberta, which already counts the EU as its fourth largest export market, is one of the provinces that stand to gain substantially from last week’s announcement of an agreement in principle on all of the key areas in the long-running negotiations to conclude a free-trade agreement between Canada and the EU. The agreement, known as the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, or CETA, is the largest, most complex and far-reaching trade agreement ever negotiated by Canada.

And for the first time, provinces have been involved directly in a Canadian free-trade negotiation, participating alongside federal negotiators in key areas that fall under their jurisdiction.

The CETA will grant preferred access for Canadian goods, services and investment into the EU. Tariff elimination and market access for goods will be a big part of these gains. Some 98 per cent of all EU tariff lines will be duty-free on the day CETA comes into force, including tariffs on manufactured goods of interest to Alberta, such as metal and mining products, chemicals and plastics, forestry products and most manufactured goods.

No tariff phase-out will exceed seven years and most tariffs will be eliminated on Canadian agricultural exports to the EU, which currently face tariff rates of nearly 14 per cent on average. Of particular interest to Alberta’s farmers will be the elimination of tariffs on grains such as wheat, oats, barley and rye. Currently, these tariffs range up to $190/tonne for durum wheat. Tariffs on canola oil will also be eliminated. With the 2012 abolition of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly on exports of western wheat and barley, Alberta grain farmers will be poised to take advantage of the reduced EU tariffs and expand their presence in European markets.

An important part of the breakthrough in the negotiations involved the politically-sensitive trade-off of greater access to the EU market for Canadian beef and pork in exchange for greater access to the Canadian market for European cheese. The deal has been opposed by Canadian dairy producers who will see a modest increase in the volume of European imports (less than 5 per cent of Canadian cheese sales). However, CETA will be a boon to Alberta meat and livestock producers. Beef (including veal) producers will gain access to nearly 65,000 tonnes of annual duty-free quota while pork producers will gain about 74,000 tonnes of new duty-free quota.

While attaining real gains for West-

ern farmers, the parties have not yet resolved continuing differences on genetically-modified crops and their products, although talks will continue on this topic in other forums. A key area to watch will be the just-started trade negotiations between the EU and United States. If the U.S. is able to make inroads in this area, it will likely benefit Canadian farmers through the application of most-favoured-nation principle.

The CETA is also likely to make it easier for Albertan service providers in fields such as oil and gas services, environmental, engineering and architectural services. Recent activity in the shale gas sector in parts of Europe will present substantial opportunities for Canadian firms with the expertise.

The EU has also agreed to related provisions on increased labour mobility rights, which will enable Canadian businesses to operate more effectively in Europe. These will allow for the temporary entry of certain business investors, services providers, and employees into the EU without the need for visas or work permits, and will create a framework for the mutual recognition of professional qualifications to enable Canadian professionals, such as engineers and architects, to work in the EU. While details have yet to be disclosed, Canada and the EU have granted each other considerable access to

their public procurement markets, including at regional and municipal levels. Thresholds to qualify for access will be quite high (over $300,000 for goods and services and $7.8 million for construction services) but the agreement should nevertheless create significant new opportunities for Canadian companies to access the EU’s multi-trillion-dollar procurement market, including in areas like construction and engineering.

Much work remains to be done before the CETA is finalized and enters into force. The agreement will likely be signed by next summer. Although the CETA will still have to be ratified by each of the 28 EU member states as well as Canada and the EU (which will take time), Canada and the EU have indicated that they will aim to implement tariff elimination and other elements of the agreement on a provisional basis immediately or soon after signing, so that their businesses and consumers can begin to enjoy the benefits as quickly as possible.

Milos Barutciski is co-chair of Bennett Jones LLP’s International Trade and Investment Group. Matthew Kronby is a partner in the group. He was previously the head of the Trade Law Bureau at the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development and Canada’s chief counsel in the CETA negotiations.

Prime minister losing his grip?

AFTER TAKING THE SUMMER TO RESET THE GOVERNMENT, THE CONSERVATIVES ARE AWASH IN PROBLEMS Out of the wreckage of the Senate spending showdown, Stephen Harper found the planks of a reconstructed Conservative narrative on Wednesday.

It goes like this: yes former Conservative Senator Mike Duffy is being truthful when he says the prime minister ordered him to repay the housing allowance he had received for a P.E.I. cottage he never maintained as a primary residence.

And, yes, Harper is the driving force behind the bid to suspend Duffy and colleagues Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau from the CHANTAL Senate without pay. He put HÉBERT his full weight behind it in the House and in caucus on Wednesday.

But for the chain of events that led the government and a trio of its own Senate appointees from the point of ordering reimbursements of public funds to this week’s political drama in both houses of Parliament, Harper claims no active role.

From the moment he directed Duffy to repay the allowance in full — and regardless of the political turmoil that order unleashed in his own office and in the Senate — Harper, it seems, assumed that the world was unfolding as it should or at least as he had instructed.

This consolidated version will not satisfy the opposition parties but it will play well with many of the Conservative faithful who will be gathering for a national party convention in Calgary at the end of the month. It certainly casts their leader in the best possible light in the circumstances.

There will be little sympathy there — or in within the public in general — for Duffy’s basic contention that he is just the scapegoat of a government unfairly trying to restore its image of financial prudence at his expense.

But raising the status of the Senate expense scandal from an ethics-related fiasco to a messy public execution of the presumed guilty parties in the Senate — even if it fits the partisan calendar and the short-term objectives of the government — will come at a price.

The first consequence this week has been a Conservative message derailed from the business of government unto the business of government ethics.

With so much else going on — from a massive trade deal with Europe to an unprecedented imbroglio in the Supreme Court — it was still impossible to look away from the Conservative bloodletting that has dominated the debates in the two houses of Par-

liament all week.

There are also renewed questions as to the prime minister’s judgment. Harper, after all, hand-picked all the players in this political drama.

And then, some degree of heavy-handedness has always been part of the features of the Prime Minister’s Office. It has long acted as the ultimate political enforcer of the government.

But the culture of expedient justice that has led to this week’s clash has been the defining feature of this particular regime.

Over the past year, the approach has alienated a growing number of Conservatives. The Senate episode is no exception. One only needed to listen to Tory Senator Hugh Segal vehemently denounce the ousting of his colleagues as a travesty of justice on Wednesday to verify that.

Finally the test of a government usually rests on its ability to manage crisis. But this government is

The Senate story was never going to go away quickly, not with a still ongoing RCMP investigation.

But this week it was the government’s handling of it that lifted it out of the Parliament Hill bubble and turned it into a topic for the water-cooler conversations of the nation.

Over the space of only two weeks, Canadians were also treated to an unfocused throne speech; a bungled Supreme Court appointment as well as conflicting messages from the prime minister and his Quebec lieutenant Denis Lebel over the rules that should govern a future Quebec referendum.

All that after a summer officially devoted to the resetting of the government.

What would it have been if the Conservatives had not taken a four-month breather to regroup?

LETTERS The Advocate showed bias, has lost its way Re: the column on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2013, titled Sorting out the mayor contenders, by Vesna Higham: The timing of this article is key to understanding motive.

Since it was posted on Saturday, we (the people besmirched, including Chad Mason, William Horn, Dennis Trepanier) do not have the opportunity to rebut the article since voting is on Monday.

It is apparent that you (the Advocate) have strategically posted this article to discount everyone as serious contenders, except for the “intelligent, competent, articulate, accomplished and politically savvy women” running.

The men are described as “lacking” in light of “the two person affair.”

Indeed, it is an affair, an affair of bias, against the youth of this city (Mason), against the educated (Horn, MBA), and against the experienced (Trepanier, council experience).

Indeed, it is a very sad day when journalistic integrity is diminished to such a degree, that the credibility and ethical standards of the Advocate reach this very low.

It is obvious that the Advocate has chosen the winners prior to the vote, has used its office to promote this bias, and has lost its way.

In my opinion, no longer is this newspaper an ‘Advocate’ for the people of Red Deer.

Dennis Trepanier Red Deer

Advocate election coverage outstanding I was very impressed by the outstanding job the Advocate did in covering the pre-election and election results.

I thought the coverage of candidates was exceptional and without bias.

The television coverage by Shaw was abysmal. Surely a city the size of Red Deer could once again support our own TV station.

We thoroughly enjoy the daily paper. Your coverage of local affairs, particularly the sports, cultural editorials and feature articles are outstanding.

It is apparent that you are striving for excellence and succeeding.

Congratulations for a job well done.

Handle city taxpayers’ funds with care In respect of the 2013 Red Deer municipal election, the Red Deer Taxpayers’ Association would first and foremost like to congratulate all of the candidates, both elected and nonelected, for their commitment to the betterment of our community.

Analyzing the results of the election, we have the following comments: ● While up from the prior election, voter participation in the election was less than 33 per cent. This voter apathy

is unfortunate; a more engaged and vested electorate leads to increased accountability for the use of taxpayer dollars. Our elected representatives have significant input on the use of our taxpayer dollars. Those dollars matter; efficient and economic spending allows those finite dollars to go further, improving the quality of life in our community. ● There was a significant bloc of voters who wished to maintain the status quo. To the credit of these voters, they were more motivated to actually vote than other voters. ● The association is optimistic that this new council and mayor will strive in a meaningful way to improve the economy and efficiency in the city’s spending of taxpayer dollars, as there is significant room for improvement.

(We invite all taxpayers to visit our website www.reddeertaxpayers.ca to view opportunities for improvement pertaining to inefficient spending of hard earned taxpayer dollars.)

The other day, I needed to know what time the ceremony of the Arches started. I found it in the ad, but at the same time I was struck by the address.

The ad explained that the ceremony would take place near the intersection of 52nd Avenue and 48th Street.

Being a bit of a math nut, I added the two numbers, which total 100.

So the major centennial project is located near the intersection that adds up to 100.

Did the wise men who cooked up our street and avenue structure predestine this intersection for the Arches location?

Relax Bob Scammell; no need for flinching

We see on the pages of the Red Deer Advocate after the municipal election how re-elected Coun. Paul Harris feels about a significant portion of the Red Deer electorate.

Painting himself as a “progressive,” he terms those with a differing view as “regressive.”

Words have meaning and Harris knew enough that he dared not have uttered this word prior to the election.

Also noteworthy, he did not prior to the last election state clearly what he wanted to do re: bike paths.

After reading Bob Scammell’s book review of my partner Paula Wild’s book, The Cougar: Beautiful, Wild and Dangerous, I feel compelled to respond especially since he’s already quoted me. “Children are magnets for cougar.”

Bob, like yourself, I’ve spent a good part of my life “recreating,” as well as working in the bush, especially the cougar hot spot of north Vancouver Island, where I planted trees for over 20 years. And, as it happened, I was supervisor of the day planter, Jack Scott, who was chased by one of the big cats.

Nonetheless, I still consider our fabulous Canadian outdoors and wild areas the safest place anywhere on the planet. Where else can a person get so close to paradise?

To put cougar attacks in perspective, consider these facts and numbers: As noted in Paula’s The Cougar, in the past 200 years in Canada and the U.S., the big cats have killed 55 people. That works out to an average of a measly .28 people taken down by cougars per year.

In comparison, 34,767 people were killed in motor vehicle accidents in the United States alone in 2012. That’s an average of 95 per day!

And here in Canada, whose population generally runs at close to one-10th that of the United States, a google research revealed that 2,011 of our fellow citizens died on our roadways back in

Veer should have answered election survey It was with great interest that I read today’s (Oct. 23) front page article on the recently concluded civic election.

While mayor-elect Tara Veer’s photo was front and centre, what was not so front and centre were her opinions on “a wide variety of issues covered in an Advocate pre-election survey.”

The article goes into considerable detail outlining how each of the newlyelected council members had responded to the paper’s pre-election survey, which touched on a significant number of “hot-bed” issues in the city.

It is important to note that candidates running for election were asked to publicly respond to the survey questions before the election took place.

While Ms. Veer is quoted in the article as responding to some of the issues post-election, the article also indicates that “Veer’s answers to the Advocate’s survey were not published on Oct. 12.

She responded after the deadline and her answers were incomplete.”

While other election candidates found the time and the conviction to respond before the election took

How do I get festival tickets for father-daughter event?

I write this out of frustration and sheer disappointment.

I am a single father of two beautiful girls who for the past three years have wanted nothing more than to go to the Festival of Trees father-daughter evening out.

We budget every year, because I need to also travel from Edmonton, in hopes that I can acquire tickets.

However, I have not been able to buy tickets because they repeatedly sell out. I go online when the tickets go on sale and they are not available.

This year I was told that most of the tickets sold out even before they went on sale. I feel like this event is an exclusive club which no one else can join.

As a family we annually attend the Festival of Trees event and the highlight of Christmas morning is opening the gifts they purchased in Santa’s Workshop.

My girls are heartbroken that their dad once again cannot get tickets for this event.

Please tell me how I can get tickets for this event without going online and seeing people double the price?

Also, I would like to know that tickets will be sold in a fairly next year.

Finally, how do you tell two girls that they are not going to this event when they already picked out dresses?

A frustrated dad and regular Festival of Trees patron.

A: You're certainly not alone. Approx. 2% of the population suffers from this syndrome, and statistics prove that 9 out of 10 affected are women. The widespread muscle and joint pain you describe are symptoms I have heard before, but complicating the situation are overlapping conditions which may include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and more. As for your teeth – this discomfort often extends into the teeth leading patients to believe they have a cavity or perhaps even require a root canal. We've found that not to be the case, but it always bears checking out properly. Your TMJ Joint (temporomandibular) is on each side of your head. Combined with your jaw and jaw muscles, it makes it possible to open and close your mouth. This muscular pain is most likely to affect patients such as you. Lack of sleep and stress only accelerate it. If you have issues here, it can cause headaches, nausea, and dizziness. The big challenge is in proper diagnosis. Patients can suffer for years with phantom symptoms and no hard and fast answers.

What can we as dentists do? Firstly, we must rule out abscess or decay.

Massage of the facial muscles can relax them, and relieve pain and sleeplessness. Certain medications can relieve pain. If you happen to have teeth alignment issues, you must get your dentist involved. One difficulty patients face is there isn't a great deal of scientific validation for TMJD treatment – hence it can be problematic dealing with insurance companies about the necessity and type of proposed treatment. Your dentist and your physician may have to jointly address your insurance provider in order to get the assistance you need.

Senate reform plan panned QUEBEC COURT OF APPEAL CALLS IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL ‘THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE PRE-CONFEDERATION CONFERENCES SHOWS THAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS DISCUSSED THE ROLE AND COMPOSITION OF THE SENATE AT LENGTH.’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The Harper government’s most recent attempt at Senate reform has been declared unconstitutional in a stinging court ruling rendered Thursday.

The Quebec Court of Appeal has released an opinion that the federal government had no right, under Bill C-7, to create Senate elections and set term limits without seeking provincial approval.

It says the fathers of Confederation considered the role and function of the Senate in great detail, and the conditions they drew up were essential to uniting the provinces under one country.

“The transcript of the pre-confederation conferences shows that the founding fathers discussed the role and composition of the Senate at length,” the 20-page ruling said.

“There is no doubt that this institution was a fundamental component of the federal compromise in 1867.”

The court even refers to Canada’s first prime minister, John A. Macdonald, being dead-set against the idea of elected senators to avoid having the new parliament resemble the Legislative Council of the old parliament of

pre-Confederation Canada.

Now if the Harper government wants to reform the Senate, the court says, it needs to get approval from at least seven provinces holding half the country’s population.

The government’s Bill C-7 would have set nine-year term limits for senators, and created elections in provinces that wanted them.

The court said such a patchwork approach to elections was also in contradiction to the desires of Canada’s constitutional framers.

In any case, the federal reform is already on hold amid intense debate over the nature of the upper chamber, which is currently being rocked by a spending scandal.

The Conservatives have drawn up a reference of their own — this one to the Supreme Court of Canada, which will hold hearings on the Senate later this year.

The provincial-court battle, which ended with today’s 20-page ruling, began when the previous Charest govern-

ment filed a reference motion in May 2012 with the Quebec Court of Appeal, seeking an opinion on the legality of C-7.

It argued that the bill was unconstitutional, that it threatened to affect the functioning of Canadian federalism, and that it would harm certain regions of the country.

The court replied, in its verdict, that it’s in no position to comment on the usefulness of Senate reform, or abolition — which are political matters.

It said it’s only responding to questions about the constitutional rules for amending it. And under those rules, the federal reforms were a no-go.

“It follows from the principle of supremacy of the Constitution that political actors must comply with its text and its spirit. They cannot circumvent it on the pretext that the constitutional amending process is complex or demanding,” Thursday’s ruling said.

“To do so otherwise would disregard the principles of federalism, constitutionalism and the supremacy of

law.”

Quebec said it cannot support Senate reform unless the provinces are consulted, because such profound changes to the country’s institutions shouldn’t happen with a simple piece of legislation.

Senate elections would create a new dynamic in Canada’s Parliament, where two chambers could suddenly compete over legislation and each claim democratic legitimacy.

The Supreme Court of Canada is to hold hearings on the proposed reforms in mid-November. A written opinion could take months.

The Quebec government has said it hopes the appeal court ruling could be used during this exercise.

If so, opponents of Harper’s reform plan will now be armed with lines from the Quebec legal opinion, such as the following: “Bill C-7, if it had been adopted, would have been unconstitutional without the agreement of the majority of the provinces pursuant to subsection 38(1) of the Constitution Act, 1982, since its true nature was to amend the method of selection of senators and the powers of the Senate without having respected the applicable amending procedure. In reality, Bill C-7 attempted to circumvent that procedure.”

Bid to suspend senators exposes rift in Tory ranks

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Harper government’s bid for summary execution of disgraced senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau has turned into an agonizingly slow soap opera that is exposing a nasty — and increasingly personal — family feud within the ruling Conservative caucus.

Debate over government motions to suspend, without pay, the three erstwhile Conservatives continued to rage in the Senate for the third straight day — with no end in sight.

Thursday’s debate saw Marjory LeBreton, former government leader in the Senate, fired back at Duffy for alleging she was part of a “monstrous” conspir-

acy to intimidate him into accepting a secret deal to pay back ineligible expenses or face being disqualified from sitting in the Senate.

She variously described Duffy’s claims as “utterly preposterous,” “blatant falsehood” and “stretching credulity.”

And, although LeBreton didn’t directly question Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s judgment in appointing Duffy to the upper chamber, she revealed that she was never a fan of the former broadcast journalist, who hosted a daily show on federal politics until his elevation to the Senate in 2009.

“I sometimes found myself . . . frustrated by his style of journalism, trading as he did, more often than not, on

gossip and the latest hot rumour,” LeBreton told the upper chamber.

“And sometimes I was so disgusted that I felt like putting my foot through the television set.”

When anyone complained, Duffy would say, “It’s showbiz,” LeBreton said, implying that Duffy has taken the same approach to justifying his role in the Senate expenses scandal.

Duffy and Brazeau, along with former Liberal senator Mac Harb, are under investigation by the RCMP for allegedly fraudulently claiming Senate housing allowances and living expenses.

The Mounties are also investigating the fact that Duffy accepted $90,000 from Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to reimburse his ineligible

expenses.

That $90,000 cheque was again a focal point down the hall during the daily question period in the House of Commons, where the prime minister’s combative bluster from the day before was gone, replaced by a bob-and-weave defence.

Where Harper insisted in June that nobody but Wright and Duffy knew of the reimbursement scheme, he changed his tune Thursday, saying Wright “informed very few people” — all of them known to be key Harper confidantes.

“Mr. Speaker, I refer the prime minister to Hansard of June 5,” retorted NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. “There was no ‘very few’ in there. It was ‘nobody.”’

One step forward, two steps back CANADA WON’T COME CLOSE TO MEETING EMISSIONS TARGET: ENVIRONMENT CANADA

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The latest internal government report confirms Canada is not close to being on track to meet its promised target for emissions cuts by the year 2020.

In fact, the Environment Canada analysis released Thursday indicates the country slipped backward in 2012 in terms of achieving the government’s greenhouse gas emissions target under the Copenhagen Accord.

Under that international agreement, Prime Minister Stephen Harper committed in 2009 to cutting Canada’s emissions 17 per cent from 2005 levels by the year 2020.

“This represents a significant challenge in light of economic growth,” states the 77-page Canada’s Emission Trends, the third such annual report.

Even with long-overdue government regulations on the oil and gas sector, which have not yet been announced, Environment Canada doesn’t foresee a scenario where the 2020 target will be met.

The government has repeatedly touted that it is halfway to the Copenhagen commitment — which is another way of saying the trend line shows that Canada will fall 50 per cent short of the target.

CANADA

BRIEFS

Critics complain more debate is needed on budget implementation bill OTTAWA — Treasury Board President Tony Clement says details on how the Harper government’s omnibus budget bill will affect public servants won’t come until some time after the legislation becomes law.

Clement, responsible for negotiating contracts with the public service, refused Thursday to spell out which public servants would be deemed as essential, and therefore banned from going on strike.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada, one of the country’s largest unions, warns that Bill C-4 will irreparably damage relations between the government and its employees.

The government moved Thursday to limit secondreading debate on the omnibus Budget Implementation Act, which was only introduced Tuesday, to four days before it’s sent to committee for hearings.

Once passed, the legislation would give the government exclusive right to determine essential services, and would limit the use of arbitration for resolving disputes.

Arbitration would only be allowed when bargaining units include at least 80 per cent of positions that are designated as essential, or if both sides in a dispute agree to binding arbitration.

National chief says resource development can’t be at any cost ELSIPOGTOG FIRST NATION, N.B. — The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations says Aboriginal Peoples will not support resource devel-

The United States, which has the same 17 per cent reduction target, announced last month that it was on pace to meet the goal.

Last year, Environment Canada predicted national GHG emissions would total 720 megatonnes in 2020. This year’s update has raised that total to 734 megatonnes — further from, rather than closer to, the 607-megatonne target.

Still, the government says it remains optimistic that emissions intensity — the amount of gases emitted per unit of GDP — is falling year over year.

And it points out that, because of rising emissions elsewhere in the world, Canada’s global share of carbon dioxide emissions from burning fuels will actually fall to 1.6 per cent by 2020 from about 1.8 per cent today.

The analysis notes that “according to the International Panel on Climate Change, human-caused emissions are tipping the balance towards climate change . . . ” The UN-based panel of international scientists was rather more emphatic when it reported last month.

“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia,” the IPCC reported on Sept. 27, while calling it “extremely likely” that human activities are the cause. opment at any cost after he met Thursday with leaders of a band embroiled in a battle against shale gas exploration in eastern New Brunswick.

Shawn Atleo said Thursday the federal government must work with all bands to ensure treaties are implemented in the aftermath of violent clashes last week between the RCMP and members of the Elsipogtog First Nation near Rexton.

Atleo reiterated his support for the Elsipogtog First Nation after meeting with the band council, adding that bands are asserting their treaty rights and responsibilities over lands and waters.

First Nations are not against resource development, he said, but they won’t agree to development at any cost.

“There has to be First Nations driving a vision about environmental sustainability,” he said. “In this case (at Elsipogtog), they are standing firm in the protection of their land and water resources in particular.”

Some members of Elsipogtog were arrested a week ago when the RCMP enforced a court-ordered injunction at the site of a protest outside a compound where SWN Resources stored exploration equipment and vehicles. Police said they seized guns and improvised explosive devices when they enforced the injunction to end the blockade of the compound.

Six police vehicles were burned and police responded with pepper-spray and fired non-lethal beanbag-type bullets to defuse the situation.

Liberal private member’s bill aims to limit tenor and volume of federal ads OTTAWA — It you’re tired of seeing tax dollars spent boasting about the Canadian economy and Conservative budgets during Hockey Night in Canada, a Liberal MP thinks he has the solution.

Ottawa MP David McGuinty has tabled a private members bill in the House of Commons that, if passed, could limit both the partisan tenor and volume of federal government advertising.

“It’s time to bring Canada’s advertising rules into

CLIMATE CHANGE Environmental groups say the latest Environment Canada report is indicative of the federal government’s poor environmental policies. Even Environment Canada concedes in its analysis that many of the emissions reductions to date have come from provincial government actions.

“Not only will the Harper government miss its own climate target, it is actually moving further and further away from that target,” Christian Holz of Climate Action Network Canada said in a release.

The Pembina Institute issued a release saying it is not too late for the government to get serious.

“The most crucial component of a credible plan to get Canada back on track is strong regulations for the oil and gas sector,” said Pembina analyst P.J. Partington.

The report says increased production in Alberta’s oilsands will result in overall emissions from the oil and gas sector rising by 23 per cent between 2005 and 2020.

And it suggests that the future path of Canadian emissions will depend on half a dozen variables, including population growth, consumer behaviour, technology breakthroughs and government actions. the 21st century,” McGuinty said Thursday at a news conference on Parliament Hill.

The proposal would see an independent advertising commissioner installed under the auditor general, whose job would be to prescreen government advertising to ensure it is informative and nonpartisan.

McGuinty’s model is the Ontario Government Advertising Act of 2004, which established an outside panel of experts to vet provincial ads before they go public.

Governments as far afield as Australia and New Zealand have been grappling with what Aussies call “the temptation” to use public funds for government ads designed mainly to assist the party in power.

Jonathan Rose, a political scientist at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., sits on Ontario’s fourmember advertising panel.

The model, he said, is “absolutely transferable” to the federal level.

“It allows for some transparency in government advertising and it allows for accountability . . . to an office of Parliament,” Rose said in an interview.

“So it’s independent and neutral and therefore has legitimacy.”

New app helps parents report missing kids, sends photos and info to police WINNIPEG — A new mobile app is on the market that helps parents report missing children.

The free app, called FindMeID, has been launched in Winnipeg by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection.

The app stores photos and information about children that can be quickly sent to police agencies.

It also gives parents instructions on what to do if their children are missing.

A news release says the app is endorsed by the RCMP Foundation.

Steven Blaney, the federal minister of public safety, says in the release that the government supports all innovative technologies that improve children’s safety.

U.S. spying overshadows EU summit EUROPEAN LEADERS ANGERED AT REVELATIONS NSA SWEPT 70 MILLION PHONE RECORDS with the U.S. a relationship of trust, which has certainly suffered from this.”

France, which also vocally objected to allies spying on each other, asked that the issue of reinforcing Europeans’ privacy in the digital age be added to the agenda of the two-day summit.

Before official proceedings got underway, Merkel held a brief one-on-one with French President Francois Hollande, and discussed the spying controversy.

The Europeans’ statements and actions indicated that they hadn’t been satisfied with assurances from Washington. On Wednesday, White House spokesman

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRUSSELS, Belgium — European leaders united in anger Thursday as they attended a summit overshadowed by reports of widespread U.S. spying on its allies — allegations German Chancellor Angela Merkel said had shattered trust in the Obama administration and undermined the crucial trans-Atlantic relationship.

The latest revelations that the U.S. National Security Agency swept up more than 70 million phone records in France and may have tapped Merkel’s own cellphone brought denunciations from the French and German governments.

Merkel’s unusually stern remarks as she arrived at the European Union gathering indicated she wasn’t placated by a phone conversation she had Wednesday with President Barack Obama, or his personal assurances that the U.S. is not listening in on her calls now.

“We need trust among allies and partners,” Merkel told reporters in Brussels. “Such trust now has to be built anew. This is what we have to think about.”

“The United States of America and Europe face common challenges. We are allies,” the German leader said. “But such an alliance can only be built on trust. That’s why I repeat again: spying among friends, that cannot be.”

Other leaders arriving for the 28-nation meeting echoed Merkel’s displeasure. Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt called it “completely unacceptable” for a country to eavesdrop on an allied leader.

If reports that Merkel’s cellphone had been tapped are true, “it is exceptionally serious,” Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told national broadcaster NOS. “We want the truth,” Italian Premier Enrico Letta told reporters. “It is not in the least bit conceivable that activity of this type could be acceptable.”

Echoing Merkel, Austria’s foreign minister, Micheal Spindelegger, said, Sale ends Thursday, October 31 “We need to re-establish

Jay Carney said Obama personally assured Merkel that her phone is not being listened to now and won’t be in the future.

“I think we are all outraged, across party lines,” Wolfgang Bosbach, a prominent German lawmaker from Merkel’s party, told Deutschlandfunk radio.

“And that also goes for the response that the chancellor’s cellphone is not being monitored — because this sentence says nothing about whether the chancellor was monitored in the past.”

“This cannot be justified from any point of view by the fight against international terrorism or by averting danger,” Bosbach said.

11-piece stainless steel cookware set THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW — Russia on Thursday angrily dismissed espionage accusations against a Russian cultural exchange official in Washington, saying the U.S. claims were unfounded.

The FBI is looking into whether Yury Zaytsev, the head of a Russian government-run cultural exchange program, tried to recruit young Americans as intelligence assets, a U.S. intelligence official told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was still underway.

The magazine Mother Jones first reported the story.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said it was “bewildered” by the reports and said the “fabrications they contained had nothing to do with the reality.”

It demanded the U.S. government “unequivocally and publicly disavow the ill-intended attempts to cast a shadow on the activities of the Russian Center for Science and Culture.”

An FBI spokesman, Jason Pack, declined to comment.

Zaytsev dismissed the accusations as an attempt to hurt ties between Moscow and Washington.

“It’s a shame that echoes of the Cold War are heard in RussianAmerican relations from time to time,” Russia’s Itar-Tass news agency quoted him as saying.

Police kill boy carrying replica gun SANTA ROSA, Calif. — A Northern California community is anguished over the fatal police shooting of a popular, 13-year-old boy who had been carrying a replica gun that looked like an assault rifle.

Sonoma County sheriff’s deputies had repeatedly asked the boy, Andy Lopez, to drop the weapon, but instead he raised it in their direction, police said at a news conference. Only after the shooting did deputies realize the gun was a replica that looked strikingly similar to a real AK-47 assault rifle.

Residents of Santa Rosa, a suburban town of roughly 170,000 people northwest of San Francisco in California’s wine country, were shaken by the boy’s death Tuesday afternoon.

While some community members were questioning why police decided to fire on such a young person, the shooting coincided with two separate murders of U.S. school teachers this week that have been linked to students of similar ages. On Monday in the neighbouring state of Nevada, a middle school teacher was allegedly shot by a 12-year-old student.

And on Tuesday, prosecutors in Massachusetts say a 14-year-old student killed a math teacher.

In Santa Rosa, hundreds marched on Wednesday night to remember Lopez and protest the shooting of the teen, chanting “We need justice,” as they questioned how the deputy mistook a pellet gun for an assault rifle. The marchers went to the site at the edge of a field where the boy was shot. Community members had left candles, teddy bears and flowers there.

Andy, an eighth-grade student who played trumpet in his school band, was described as a bright and popular student, liked by many in his community, including Lawrence Cook Middle School assistant principal Linsey Gannon.

BRIEFS

Long interrogation of bin Laden’s cook was OK before terrorism case NEW YORK — An appeals court on Thursday upheld the conviction of an ex-Guantanamo detainee in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, in a boost to U.S. efforts to gain intelligence from terrorism suspects before prosecuting them.

Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani served as Osama bin Laden’s cook and bodyguard after the al-Qaida suicide bombings in Tanzania and Kenya. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments that his long detention overseas by the Central Intelligence Agency violated his constitutional right to a speedy trial. It concluded that he was properly convicted and sentenced to life in prison for his role in the attacks that killed 224 people, including a dozen Americans.

Ghailani’s lawyer, Peter Quijano, promised a Supreme Court appeal. Ghailani had claimed he was tortured at a secret CIA detention site after his arrest in Pakistan in 2004.

“The government did not act expeditiously to afford Ahmed Ghailani a trial after subjecting him to enhanced interrogation techniques and then forcing

This combination of photos provided by the family via The Press Democrat and the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department shows an undated photo of 13-year-old Andy Lopez and the replica assault rifle he was holding when he was shot and killed by two Sonoma County deputies in Santa Rosa, Calif. on Tuesday.

Sonoma County Sheriff Steve Freitas said the shooting was a “tragedy” and that he would do everything he could to ensure the investigation was thorough and transparent.

After the deputies spotted the boy Tuesday, they called for backup and repeatedly ordered him to drop the gun, sheriff’s Lt. Dennis O’Leary said in a news release.

His back was turned toward the deputies, and him to languish for years at Guantanamo Bay,” Quijano said in an email statement. “A claim of national security does not and cannot suspend and vitiate one’s fundamental right to a speedy trial. Here, a delay of more than five years — during which the defendant was tortured to extract information — was constitutionally excessive.”

The three-judge panel concluded Ghailani’s right to a speedy trial was not violated.

Tennessee set to execute first inmate in 5 years using single-drug method NASHVILLE — Tennessee’s first execution in nearly five years — and the first using a new singledrug method — has been scheduled for January.

Department of Correction spokeswoman Dorinda Carter told The Associated Press on Thursday that 55-year-old Billy R. Irick is to be executed Jan. 15.

According to the state Supreme Court clerk’s office, the execution order was filed Tuesday.

Irick has been on death row since 1986 for the rape and murder of a 7-year-old girl.

Tennessee announced last month that it’s switching from a three-drug lethal injection method to using only the sedative pentobarbital to put an inmate to death.

The last inmate executed by injection in the state was Cecil Johnson, on Dec. 2, 2009.

There are 79 inmates on Tennessee’s death row, including one woman.

they did not realize at the time that he was a boy.

According to police, the boy was up to 30 feet (9 metres) from them when he turned toward the officers with the gun and they opened fire.

The boy was pronounced dead at the scene.

At Wednesday’s news conference, Santa Rosa police displayed the pellet gun, which resembled an AK-47 with a black magazine and brown butt. The pellet gun did not have an orange tip like other replica firearms, including the plastic handgun found in the boy’s waistband, police said.

Police also found a plastic handgun in the boy’s waistband, O’Leary said. The deputies, who have not been identified, have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard after a shooting, he said.

Andy’s father, Rodrigo Lopez, told a newspaper that he last saw his son Tuesday morning. He also said the gun was a toy that belonged to a friend of his son’s.

Further south Wednesday, a child at a Southern California elementary school pulled the trigger of a police rifle, firing a bullet that shattered and created shrapnel that injured three youngsters, authorities said.

The AR-15 was locked to the side of a motorcycle that was on display at Newman Elementary School in Chino during an anti-drug program when a student managed to fire it, Chino police spokeswoman Tamrin Olden said.

Farther up the West Coast in Washington state, an 11-year-old student accused of bringing a handgun, more than 400 rounds of ammunition and several knives to his Vancouver school was arrested Wednesday night, police said.

Police recovered the weapons and ammunition earlier in the day. No one was hurt. The boy was interviewed by detectives and arrested for investigation of one count of attempted murder, police said.

Bombing, shootings in Iraq, including killing of cameraman, leave 7 dead BAGHDAD — Bombings and shootings across Iraq, including the killing of a television cameraman, left seven people dead Thursday as a wave of violent attacks striking the country rages on, officials said.

The deadliest attack happened Thursday night when gunmen in a speeding car opened fire on a small fast food restaurant in Baghdad’s western neighbourhood of Amariyah, killing four people and wounding seven, authorities said. An hour later, police said a bomb exploded near a cafe in the town of Madain, 20 kilometres (14 miles) south of Baghdad.

The blast killed two people and wounded seven, they said.

In the northern city of Mosul, police said gunmen killed Bashar al-Nuaimi, a cameraman working for local TV channel al-Moussilyah, as he was walking near his house. They offered no immediate motive for the attack, though journalists have been targeted by militants in the past.

Hospital officials confirmed the casualties for the attacks. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists.

Violence has been on the rise in Iraq since a security crackdown in April on a Sunni protest site in the northern town of Hawijah. At least 462 people have died in attacks across the country so far this month, according to an Associated Press count.

B1 Cardinals even World Series

FRIDAY, OCT. 25, 2013

ROOKIE SENSATION WACHA WINS AGAIN TO HELP CARDS TAKE DOWN SLOPPY RED SOX

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cardinals 4 Red Sox 2 BOSTON — Just when it seemed Michael Wacha had cracked, the St. Louis Cardinals began scooting around the bases and tied the World Series.

Wacha beat John Lackey in a matchup of present and past rookie sensations, and this time it was the Cardinals’ turn to take advantage of sloppy fielding as St. Louis topped the Boston Red Sox 4-2 Thursday night to even the Series at a game apiece.

David Ortiz put Boston ahead in the sixth inning with a two-run homer just over the Green Monster in left, ending Wacha’s scoreless streak at 18 2-3 innings — a rookie record for a single post-season.

But then Lackey, who in 2002 with the Angels became the first rookie in 93 years to win Game 7 of a World Series, faltered in a three-run seventh.

St. Louis went ahead when Matt Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly that led to a pair of runs, with the second scoring on errors by catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and reliever Craig Breslow.

Carlos Beltran, back in the lineup after bruising ribs in the opener, followed with an RBI single.

“I wanted to be in the lineup. I worked so hard to get to this point,” Beltran said. “Somebody would have to kill me in order for me to be out of the lineup.”

Wacha, a 22-year-old right-hander, wasn’t quite as sharp and allowed two runs, three hits and four walks in six innings with six strikeouts. But he improved to 4-0 in four outings this post-season, matching the amount of

regular-season wins he has in his brief career.

“He pitched outstanding,” Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina said. “Just one pitch, to a great hitter like Big Papi.

We take our hat off to him, but I mean, he pitched good tonight.”

His parents and sister made the trip from Texarkana, Texas, and sat bundled in cold-weather clothes in the stands to watch Wacha, the 19th pick in last year’s amateur draft.

The Cardinals’ hard-throwing bullpen combined for one-hit relief, with Trevor Rosenthal striking out all three batters in the ninth for a save. He whiffed Daniel Nava with a 99 mph fastball to end it.

All three St. Louis pitchers Thursday night were 23 or younger.

“It doesn’t surprise me. Those guys got talent,” Molina said. “Like I said many times before, they’re not afraid to pitch.”

Seeking its second World Series title in three seasons, St. Louis improved to 7-0 this post-season when scoring first and stopped Boston’s Series winning streak at nine.

When the Series resumes Saturday night at Busch Stadium, Jake Peavy starts for the Red Sox and Joe Kelly for the Cardinals. Twenty-nine of the previous 55 teams that won Game 2 to tie the Series went on to take the title.

A night after the Cardinals made three errors in the opener and allowed the Red Sox to romp 8-1, the fielding failures were on the other side.

Given a 2-1 lead, Lackey walked David Freese with one out in the seventh and allowed Jon Jay’s single.

Flames get shot down in Lone Star State CHIASSON, BENN EACH SCORE TWO GOALS TO CARRY STARS PAST FLAMES

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Calgary Flames’ centre Matt Stajan fights with Dallas Stars defenceman Stephane Robidas for control of a loose puck in the first period of an NHL game on Thursday, in Dallas.

Stars 5 Flames 1 DALLAS — Alex Chiasson didn’t see his tiebreaking goal go in Thursday night.

Neither did Dallas Stars coach Lindy Ruff.

More important, the referees didn’t see the puck hit the net.

At the other end of the ice, though, Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen saw the goal scored, and stopped the puck when it came to him. On review, the goal was ruled good.

That started Dallas toward three goals in barely a minute and a 5-1 victory over the Calgary Flames.

“When Kari stopped and froze the puck, that’s when I knew it was a goal,” Ruff said.

“Otherwise, he’s risking a minor penalty, so I figured he knew it was a goal.” Chiasson said, “I didn’t know it was in until I was on the bench and everyone was telling me it was in.”

Chiasson and Jamie Benn each scored two goals to lead the Stars.

The game was tied 1-1 when rookie Chiasson took a pass from Ray Whitney and shot the puck into the upper right corner over Calgary goalie Karri Ramo at 11:11 of the second period.

Just 18 seconds after the goal was reviewed, Benn’s shot from the left circle went in for his second goal of the season.

Brenden Dillon then scored

off a faceoff, assisted by Shawn Horcoff, at 12:12.

Chiasson said: “It makes a big difference when you score, and then you score again.

That usually kills the other team’s momentum. I thought that changed the game right there.”

Flames coach Bob Hartley agreed.

“Those three quick goals, they definitely took lots of energy out of us and we just couldn’t recover.”

Lehtonen, returning after five games on injured reserve because of a leg injury, appreciated the offensive support.

“It was good that we got those goals. That made it easier to relax,” he said.

Dallas had lost four of the five games while Lehtonen was out. Against Calgary, he made 28 saves.

On Thursday, the Flames completed a five-game trip on which they were 1-4.

“We’re not quitters over here but it’s a results-oriented business and it was a terrible road trip,” Calgary left wing T.J. Gagliardi said. “We just had breakdowns and off-man rushes. They’re skilled enough where they’re going to make you pay.”

Dallas (4-5) dominated the early going, with the game’s first four shots on goal. Two of those were by Chiasson.

Ramo stopped the first from in front of the goal, but Chiasson retrieved the puck and tapped it in for a 1-0 at 4:04 of the first period.

“The first goal by Chaser was real good hands on his part,” Ruff said. “The play from Whitney was a real nice opportunity.”

The Flames (4-4-2) tied the game 4:30 into the second period.

Lee Stempniak skated along the right wing. Defenceman Trevor Daley stayed with a Flame across the ice and when centre Cody Eakin skated from behind Stempniak, he shot the puck past Lehtonen.

Chiasson had a chance for a third goal late in the second period from the left circle, but Ramo deflected the puck wide of the net.

Benn scored again at 3:36 of the third period.

A missed shot went off the back boards.

Chiasson picked up the puck and slid it behind the goal to Benn. His wraparound shot beat Ramo.

Hartley said: “I felt that we started the third period on a good note.

“We had a huge hole to come back and they got that goal, so basically the game was over right there.”

Ruff was asked if the Stars were trying to get a hat trick for Chiasson or Benn.

“I think the players were.

Every puck was getting funneled in one direction. When you’ve got that lead at that time of the game, you’re looking for something good like that.”

Oilers’ streak snapped with loss to Capitals OVECHKIN GETS TWO POINTS TO LEAD CAPITALS PAST OILERS IN FIRST GAME BACK FROM ROAD TRIP

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Capitals 4 Oilers 1 EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers are the latest victims of Alex Ovechkin’s torrid goal-a-game pace.

Ovechkin scored his 10th goal of the season and added an assist as the Washington Capitals won their third in a row, defeating the Oilers 4-1 on Thursday.

“He’s a goal scorer,” said Washington head coach Adam Oates. “They’re kind of broken plays and before you know it, with his release, they’re tough on goalies.”

Ovechkin not only has 10 goals in 10 games this season, he has 32 in his last 31 games dating back to last year.

Joel Ward, Jason Chimera and Nicklas Backstrom also scored for the Capitals (5-5-0), who have won four of their last five after a 1-4-0 start to the sea-

son.

Ovechkin said Backstrom’s early third-period goal was really the backbreaker.

“That was a big goal,” he said.

“We scored that goal and then they stopped playing, then they gave us a lot of opportunities three-on-two and three-on-three. It’s a good situation and we have to take advantage of those kind of chances, don’t give them anything. I think we played well and (goaltender Braden) Holtby played well today, too.”

Justin Schultz responded for the Oilers (3-7-1), who saw a two-game winning streak snapped and have now lost six of their last eight.

Oilers captain Andrew Ference said his team was going good through the first two periods, but didn’t have the same intensity in the third.

THE ICE WHERE ARE THEY NOW? As a heartand-soul type of player, Turner Elson has always done things Turner Elson the hard way.

The St. Albert native was never selected in the WHL bantam draft and in fact joined the Red Deer Rebels as a list player.

Elson eventually earned a free-agent contract with the Calgary Flames in 2011 after putting up 13 points (16g,15a) in his second season with the Rebels. He followed that production with a 46-point (21-25) season in 2011-12 and last winter, as the Rebels captain, he accumulated 26 goals and 57 points in 64 regular-season games and a team-leading nine points (5-4) in the playoffs.

Currently in his first season as a pro, the 21-year-old winger has a single goal in six games with the AHL Abbotsford Heat.

WHO’S A CLOSER Medicine Hat Tigers RW Cole Sanford has sniped a leaguebest three insurance goals. The Cole Sanford 18-yearold product of Vernon, B.C., has 10 points, including nine goals, in 12 games.

FABULOUS FRESHMAN Saskatoon Blades Russian RW Nikita Scherbak sits atop the WHL rookie scoring parade Nikita Scherbak with 19 points (8g,11a) in 13 games. The 18-year-old was selected in the second round of the 2013 CHL import draft.

Chorney on the road to success REBELS ROOKIE STILL LOOKING FOR FIRST GOAL BUT DRAWS PRAISE FOR SMARTS

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR In Brent Sutter’s eyes, Cole Chorney has a headstart on what should be a successful WHL career.

“He’s a young guy finding his way in this league and finding out what it’s all about,” the Red Deer Rebels general manager/ head coach said Thursday, in reference to the 17-year-old rookie forward.

“The thing about Cole is he plays hard, he’s a character kid. He plays and he competes and that’s what you want to see from a young player — that’s the starting point of it all. Like all of our younger players, he has lots to learn, but there’s lots there to work with.”

Chorney is like most wideeyed WHL rookies — he’s just glad to be playing at a high level.

“It’s been great here, I’ve really enjoyed it,” said the Beaumont native.

“It’s been a bit of an adjustment from midget, for sure . . . playing at this speed and with this intensity. But I think I’m doing well adjusting to it and it’s been great.”

Besides his work ethic, Sutter likes Chorney’s hockey sense and his willingness to correct errors.

“He’s a smart player and he knows when he makes a mistake,” said the Rebels boss.

“When the coaches talk to him and run through it with him on video he understands what happened. He gets it quickly.”

Chorney does pride himself on his ability to play efficiently

in all three zones, especially his own.

“I think I’m doing well positionally down low in the defensive zone,” said the six-foot, 176-pound centre, “but I do need to gain some strength. It’s a faster league and you have to be on your game all the time, for sure.”

Chorney has yet to accumulate his first WHL regular-season point.

“It will be nice to get that first goal and get the monkey off the back,” he said.

Chorney is confident that the points will come in time and his track record would seem to indicate that will indeed be the case.

Millette has two goals and an assist in six games with the Blades and is expected to skate with new Blade Chase Clayton (acquired Sunday from Calgary) and Nick Zajac tonight.

Meanwhile, veteran Saskatoon winger Brett Stovin is anxious to go up against former linemate Lukas Sutter, who was traded to Red Deer in June.

Queens open season with win over Griffins

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF Queens 4 Griffins 0 The RDC Queens weren’t at the top of their game during the first period of their Alberta Colleges Women’s Hockey League season opener against the Grant MacEwan University Griffins, but third-year veteran goaltender Camille Trautman was.

Trautman was especially outstanding in the first 20 minutes, making 13 saves to keep the game scoreless and gave her mates an opportunity to find their skating legs after being off for two weeks.

The Queens showed a bit more jump in the second period and went on to record a 4-0 victory at the Arena Thursday.

“We had too much watching and gliding in that first period, instead of initiating and skating,” said Queens firstyear head coach Bob Rutz. “We gave them more chances than they should have had.”

That’s when Trautman took control.

“She did everything we asked of her,” said Rutz. “We don’t expect her to win the game for us, but to make the stops she needs to and she always does that, especially when we’re struggling.

“We shouldn’t have to rely on her winning the game for us, but then we also know she’s back there and will help us out.”

Trautman, who was the goaltender of the year in the ACAC last season, is fine with that.

“It’s my job to keep the game close and not let them score,” she said. “Once we get a goal we’re off.”

Trautman knows the team has enough offence

to compete with any team in the league.

“Every year I’ve been here the offence had grown and it’s better again this year,” she said.

But she also knows her defence is relatively young.

“We are, but we also have some third-year players (Casey Nicholson, Megan Jones and Morgan Brandl) and they are role models for the younger players and show them what to do.”

Rutz agrees.

“We do have two girls who are converted forwards, but they’ve come a long way and they’re still learning,” he said.

Overall the Queens are a veteran team with only eight first-year players.

“We have some new faces, which is nice to see,” said Trautman.

“But we also have some third, fourth and fifth year players, who are leaders for the first-year players.”

Close to half the team also played with the Red Deer Sutter Fund Chiefs major midget team, including Trautman.

“It’s nice to play with girls you know and have a bond with,” she said.

“We take pride in that.”

The Queens got on the board at 16:09 of the second period when Jade Petrie brought the puck out of the right corner, shook off a couple of checks and slide the puck under third-year netminder Morgan Glover. Skye Fahlman made it 2-0 46 seconds later on a wrap around that went in off Glover’s pad.

Nicholson scored the first of her college career and gave the Queens even more breathing room when her point shot beat Glover on the power play at 19:47.

“We challenged the

girls after the first period to start moving their feet and taking away time and space,” said Rutz. “We started doing that and I thought we outskated them a bit in the second and third periods.

“Plus once we got that first goal it got us going, We did a good job of getting the puck to the net and causing some problems for their goalie.”

Laura Salomons put the finishing touches on the scoring at 18:58 of the third period.

Newton shines as Panthers rout Bucs

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

47704J18,25

Panthers 31 Buccaneers 13 TAMPA, Fla. — Cam Newton is playing some of the best football of his career, and the surging Carolina Panthers are back over .500 for the first time in five years.

An efficient Newton threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score Thursday night to pace a 31-13 victory over the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Panthers (4-3) won for the fourth time in five games following an 0-2 start. They’ve won three straight, with Newton throwing for 667 yards, six TDs and no interceptions.

The Bucs (0-7), one of two NFL teams yet to win, have dropped the first seven games in a season for the seventh time in franchise history. They’ve lost 12 of 13 dating to last year, and some fans showed up at Raymond James Stadium carrying signs and wearing paper bags over their heads urging that second-year coach Greg Schiano be fired.

Newton tossed a 1-yard TD pass to Greg Olsen in the first quarter and added a 3-yarder to Mike Tolbert on the first play of the fourth quarter for a 28-6 lead. Newton had his way against the Bucs in between those scores, too, setting up a nifty 12-yard TD run by DeAngelo Williams and getting into the end zone himself with a 6-yard run midway through the third quarter.

The third-year quarterback completed 23 of 32 passes for 221 yards. He also rushed for a team-high 50 yards on 11 attempts.

Rookie Mike Glennon threw for 275 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in his fourth start for Tampa Bay, which trailed 31-6 before finally getting into the end zone on Tim Wright’s 10-yard reception with just under 3 minutes remaining.

Argos cement first in division with win

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Argonauts 36 Blue Bombers 21 TORONTO — Ricky Ray will have plenty of time to savour the first 500-yard passing performance of his CFL career.

Ray completed 39-of-45 passes — including a club-record 21 straight — for 505 yards and three TDs as the Toronto Argonauts clinched first in the East Division with a 36-21 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night.

Toronto (11-6) will finish the regular season hosting the Montreal Alouettes next Friday night and head coach Scott Milanovich said Ray won’t dress for that contest. That means Ray’s next game for the defending Grey Cup champions will be Nov. 17 in the East final at Rogers Centre.

“I can tell you right now Ricky Ray will not be playing next week,” Milanovich said emphatically. “He’ll be standing beside me on the sidelines without gear on, we can end the speculation right now.”

Milanovich’s decision also means Ray will finish the season with a 77.7 per cent completion average, breaking the CFL single-season mark of 73.98 per cent held by Calgary offensive coordinator Dave Dickenson. Predictably, the humble Ray downplayed the career performance.

“It was just one of those nights we had a lot of opportunities to make plays and were able to finish most of them,” Ray said. “But we left a lot out there, we had a couple of turnovers and I missed Chad Owens on an easy touchdown.

“We still have a lot of things to clean up.”

Discipline is certainly one of them as Toronto was flagged 14 times for 139 yards. Winnipeg wasn’t much better with 12 penalties for 95 yards in a very

chippy affair that saw both teams penalized often for vicious hits on a night when players, coaches and officials all had pink-coloured apparel as part of the CFL’s initiative to bring awareness to women’s cancers.

“We’ve got to be more disciplined,” Milanovich said. “To win a game with that many penalties just isn’t going to happen very often.

“If we keep having the penalties we had tonight we won’t go far in November.”

Winnipeg coach Tim Burke wasn’t pleased with all the penalties either, saying he’ll be addressing it with his team.

“There is going to be some light pocketbooks this week,” he said. “I chalk it up to being unable to control your emotions.

“Football is an emotional game but you have to be able to control your emotions.”

Ray broke the Argos record of 19 straight completions in the third and finished one short of the CFL mark when he threw an incompletion to running back Chad Kackert, back after missing two games with a shoulder injury. But Argos receivers Jason Barnes and Andre Durie both lost fumbles deep in Winnipeg’s zone following big completions by Ray that helped the Bombers (3-14) hang around.

But Ray cemented the win with a 69-yard TD pass to Dontrelle Inman at 12:16 of the fourth. On July 19, Ray set the CFL single-game passing accuracy record by completing 19-of-20 passes in a 35-19 win over Winnipeg before suffering a knee injury.

Toronto finished atop the East Division for the first time since ’07 and just the third time since ’97. More importantly, the Argos cemented home-field advantage for the conference final by sweeping the home-and-home series with Winnipeg after dropping two

Lions looking to get back on track against Eskimos LIONS HOPE TO BREAK THREE-GAME LOSING STREAK WITH HOME DATE AGAINST STRUGGLING ESKIMOS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Don’t tell the B.C. Lions the final two games of the CFL regular season are meaningless.

Locked in as the third seed in the West Division, the club has a road playoff date looming against either the Saskatchewan Roughriders or the Calgary Stampeders on Nov. 10.

But with three straight losses, the Lions (9-7) are hoping to use the final two weeks of the 2013 schedule to right their wobbly ship in time for the postseason.

That dress rehearsal begins Friday night with a visit from the lowly Edmonton Eskimos (13-3).

“When you look at the overall picture of our season, we haven’t peaked yet,” said Lions defensive end Keron Williams. “We’re looking for the right opportunity, the right breaks to get hot.

“We’ve got the intangibles that make up a good team, but we just have to put it together.”

The Lions ripped off three straight wins before their recent slide, including two with backup Thomas DeMarco under centre in place of injured No. 1 quarterback Travis Lulay.

DeMarco managed the ball effectively in recording wins in his first two starts, but has regressed during the losing streak, throwing eight interceptions over that span as Lulay’s ailing shoulder continues to recover.

“I’m obviously disappointed in how I’ve played. I’m very hard on myself and I’ll be the first one to point fingers at myself,” said DeMarco after Thursday’s practice at B.C. Place Stadium.

“I have a lot to learn in this league still and I’m going to make my mistakes.

“The biggest thing is we get two more weeks to get ready for the playoffs and hopefully I can play to my ability.”

Lions head coach Mike Benevides said the difference in DeMarco’s performances has been the 24-year-old quarterback trying to do too much when the team falls behind.

“He feels like he has to do more himself. He feels like he has to be on this upswing, that he has to make more plays,” said Benevides. “I think when you take a look at the first couple victories, there were clear elements of the ability to make the right play at the right time and not force it.”

It’s not just DeMarco who has struggled this month, as Benevides has repeatedly pointed out. The running

game has continued to be woefully ineffective, receivers have dropped balls and mental mistakes across the board have cost the Lions, culminating in last weekend’s 35-14 blowout defeat in Saskatchewan.

Now they have two games to try to get things right before what will no doubt be a stern playoff test in either Regina or Calgary.

“These games are important for us to gain momentum and gain an attitude and get confidence back,” said Lions running back Andrew Harris, who hasn’t had a 100-yard rushing game since the end of July. “You want to go into the post-season in winning fashion.”

One positive for B.C. is that most of the mistakes appear to be correctable.

“The biggest thing right now is ironing those wrinkles out and playing a full 60 minutes of football,” added Harris. “If you gain momentum and catch fire at the right time it can definitely make a big difference.”

Meanwhile, the Eskimos come in riding a losing streak of their own, having dropped four straight. A miserable season in the Alberta capital can’t end soon enough, but the Lions know Edmonton won’t be pushovers.

“They have nothing to lose. A lot of guys are playing for their jobs for next year, film for other coaches,” said Lions slotback Shawn Gore. “They’re going to come out hard, come out with everything they have and we’re going to do the same.

“We haven’t played exactly how we want to going into the playoffs and we need to get better.”

Edmonton has been a club ravaged by injuries and Friday’s game will be no different. Veteran slotback Fred Stamps, the CFL leader in receiving yards, is the latest to go down after being placed on the nine-game injured list earlier in the week.

Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly, who signed with the Eskimos in the offseason after three years with the Lions as an understudy to Lulay, said 2013 has been trying.

“It’s been really difficult at times.

It’s been really great at other times,” said Reilly. “But I wouldn’t change where I’m at, at all in this league. I wouldn’t pick a different team to play for — I love playing with the Eskimos.

“It’s certainly not how I envisioned things before the seasons started, but I’m still excited about this team and I’m still excited about what we can do in the future.”

“This was our goal at the start of the year to get that one playoff game at home and we were able to do it,” Ray said. “There were stumbling blocks along the way but to rebound after the two losses to Hamilton and come back and get two big wins was big for this team.”

Ray’s brilliance before a Rogers Centre gathering of 18,478 overshadowed the nastiness of the contest. But

STORIES FROM PAGE B1

SERIES: Aggressive Breslow relieved, and the Cardinals pulled off a double steal as pinch-runner Pete Kozma swiped third.

It was an uncharacteristically aggressive move for the Cardinals, who ranked last in the National League with 45 stolen bases this year.

Daniel Descalso, who started at shortstop after Kozma made two errors in the opener, loaded the bases with a walk. Carpenter followed with a fly to medium left, and Jonny Gomes’ throw home was slightly to the first-base side of the plate as Kozma scored the tying run.

Saltalamacchia allowed the throw to glance off his glove as Jay took off for third. Backing up the plate, Breslow hesitated before throwing to third, then sailed a high throw into the stands as Jay came home with the goahead run.

Beltran, making his first Series appearance at age 36, singled to right for a two-run lead.

A few hours before the game, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny wasn’t even certain Beltran would be able to play. The eight-time All-Star was sent to a hospital for scans Wednesday night after bruising ribs while banging into the right-field fence to rob Ortiz of a grand slam.

Beltran said he was given painkillers, and he appeared to be wearing protective padding under his jersey.

Matt Holliday, whose ninth-inning solo homer in the opener avoided a shutout, led off the fourth by driving a 92 mph fastball to the deepest part of Fenway Park, near the 420-foot sign below the triangle section of the bleachers in right-centre. The ball hit with a thud off the low fence on the side of the Boston bullpen, ricocheting across toward straightaway centre.

Matt Adams lined to second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who made a diving catch with the infield halfway in.

Molina followed with a bouncer over the 6-foot-6 Lackey that was grabbed

by Pedroia, who realized his only play was to first as Holliday scored.

Ortiz erased that with his 17th career post-season homer and fifth this October, pouncing when Wacha left an 85 mph changeup in the middle of the strike zone.

Calgary centre Matt Stajan also returned from a leg injury that had kept him out since Oct. 3. He assisted on the Flames’ goal. ... In his second NHL game, Calgary defenceman Christopher Breen drew a 5-minute penalty for fighting with Dallas’ Lane MacDermid.

OILERS: Cash in “We worked hard in the first 40 minutes and in the third period you are supposed to cash in,” he said. “You have guys who are worn down and have had extended shifts and we didn’t enjoy the payoff of those first two periods of pressure. It’s disappointing not to see the same consistent quick tempo, quick transition ... there was way more gliding in the third. It just doesn’t work.”

Edmonton head coach Dallas Eakins agreed that his team just couldn’t keep up with the Caps for the full game.

“I thought we had some good offensive-zone play until that third period,” he said. “I really believe they were trying to step on the gas, there was just no gas left. I give a lot of credit to their goaltender. He made some great saves. We had some good looks, we just couldn’t get it past him.”

The Capitals came close to starting the scoring seven minutes into the first period as Ovechkin tipped a shot that trickled past Oilers goalie Devan Dubnyk and was rolling into the net before he dove back and covered up the puck.

Ovechkin wasn’t about to be stopped a second time, however, as he scored his league-leading 10th goal of the season in 10 games with just under two minutes left in the opening period. A face-off deep in Oilers territory came back to the Washington captain and he deposited a quick wrist shot up high past Dubnyk.

Edmonton had a glorious chance to tie the game midway through the second period as a hard rebound came out to Jordan Eberle in front but he shot it wide of the empty net with Holtby trying to get back into position.

Washington went up 2-0 with four minutes to play in the second as Ward stood in the paint in front of the Oilers net to screen Dubnyk and was able to direct in a John Carlson point shot.

Edmonton out-shot the Capitals 2218 through 40 minutes.

Washington extended its lead to three goals just over a minute into the third on a nice tic-tac-toe passing play.

Marcus Johansson made a nice pass through the crease to Backstrom, who scored his second of the season and 11th point.

The Capitals made it 4-0 with seven minutes remaining after a turnover allowed a two-on-one and Chimera, who was originally credited with Ward’s earlier goal, picked the corner on a snap shot.

The Oilers broke Holtby’s shutout bid with 2:04 remaining as a David Perron pass gave Schultz a clear lane and he scored on a backhand.

Favre dismisses possibility of joining St. Louis Rams NFL

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Brett Favre dismissed the possibility of returning to the NFL with St. Louis, and Rams coach Jeff Fisher declined to address reports he tried to lure the quarterback out of retirement to replace the injured Sam Bradford.

Favre told Washington sports station WSPZ-AM he doesn’t feel physically able to compete and expressed fear that he has been affected by concussions.

“It’s flattering, but you know there’s no way I’m going to do that,” Favre said.

Fisher changed the subject after practice, then said “Nice try” when asked whether the 44-year-old Favre could be ready to play. Bradford is out for the season with a knee injury.

“I don’t remember my daughter playing soccer, playing youth soccer, one summer,” Favre told WSPZ. “I don’t remember that. I got a pretty good memory, and I have a tendency like we all do to say, ‘Where are my glasses?’ and they’re on your head.

This was pretty shocking to me that I couldn’t remember my daughter playing youth soccer, just one summer, I think. I remember her playing basketball, I remember her playing volleyball, so I kind of think maybe she only played a game or two. I think she played eight. So that’s a little bit scary to me. For the first time in 44 years, that put a little fear in me. ...

“I think after 20 years, God only knows the toll.”

Rams defensive end Robert Quinn didn’t think there was anything to the reports.

“Brett Favre is staying retired,” Quinn said. “Brett hasn’t played since 2010 and he’s comfortable down there in Mississippi on a boat or something. Have fun with it, Brett.”

Kellen Clemens, the backup the past two seasons, will make his 13th career start Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams also signed Brady Quinn and Austin Davis. Fisher said he wouldn’t discuss players contacted after Bradford tore his left ACL on Sunday at Carolina, although he confirmed Tyler Thigpen also worked out.

“I don’t feel any need to disclose information after the process,” Fisher said. “That’s how we are. I’ll be happy to talk about Thigpen, and the two that we signed.”

Sabres’ Scott needs to get lengthy suspension

NHL

BRIEFS Predator’s Rinne will miss four weeks after hip surgery

PLAYER IS RARE COMBO OF GOON, RAT AND NEEDS TO BE SUSPENDED FOR CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR HIT ON BRUINS’ ERIKSSON

INSIDER They might score once in a blue moon, but usually the puck, or possession of it, is of little interest to them. They abide by no code, by no rules of conduct generally accepted by others.

They just want to take free shots at skill players — slashing, board and charging are the usual tactics — and thus are generally loathed by all except their teammates in contrast to goons, who are generally liked.

Scott, by going headhunting Wednesday night, seems to fit both categories now, which doesn’t mean his pay should be doubled.

In fact, he’s going to take a big hit in the pocketbook from Brendan Shanahan, at least five games and maybe more.

With Buffalo’s Patrick Kaleta already up for a 10-game ban — the appeal decision is expected today — the last place Sabres are carving a new reputation for themselves these days.

Indeed, the coaching of Ron Rolston will again be up for scrutiny, not simply because he doesn’t appear capable of guiding the 1-9-1 Sabres to any level of competence.

Rolston was fined in the pre-season for sending Scott out after Kessel — a Sabre player had challenged a Leaf and been beaten up, which to Rolston meant an unusual escalation in hostilities was necessary — and in theory could be on the hotseat again, although it seems unlikely.

But if you believe hockey coaches should be held more accountable for the actions of their players, as I have for many years, than this would be a case for taking some action against a coach who clearly can’t control his Rottweiler.

After the Bruins scored to make it 3-1 on

NHL upholds Kaleta’s 10-game suspension NEW YORK — The National Hockey League has upheld Buffalo Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta’s 10-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Jack Johnson.

Kaleta had appealed the original ruling on the grounds that contact with Johnson’s head was unavoidable.

TORONTO — Morgan Rielly is staying with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Coach Randy Carlyle said today that the 19-year-old defenceman won’t be returned to the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League after he plays his ninth game with the Leafs.

A junior-eligible player is allowed to play up to nine games without his NHL team burning a year of his entry-level contract. Rielly will play his ninth game on Friday in Columbus.

Rielly has four assists, a minus-3 rating and two penalty minutes in eight games this season.

He was drafted fifth overall by Toronto in the 2012 draft.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Carolina Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward will miss three to four weeks because of a lower-body injury that forced him out of the game at Minnesota just minutes after the faceoff.

Ward was replaced

by Justin Peters 4:07 in after skating off the ice Thursday night.

The team will recall goalie Mike Murphy from the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL before the game Friday night against the Colorado Avalanche. Peters was an AHL call-up, too, 10 days earlier after goalie Anton Khudobin sustained a lower-body injury.

Ward started eight of Carolina’s first 10 games.

Murphy has played in two career NHL games.

Wednesday, Rolston sent out Scott, ostensibly to challenge Shawn Thornton, who ignored him.

In the the third with the Sabres theoretically trying to come back from a 4-2 deficit, there was Scott on the ice again, and it wasn’t to cut the lead in half.

Maybe to try and cut Eriksson in half, and the Bruin forward stayed behind overnight in Buffalo after, presumably, being concussed by the ridiculous open ice hit.

Shanahan seems to be ramping up the suspensions these days, while the players’ union seems, as usual, intent only on defending the goons and rats rather than protecting the health interests of the Erikssons and Kessels of the world.

Shouldn’t the union be out to get justice for Eriksson, not just Scott?

When Chris Simon took his thuggery to a new level in 2007 by stomping Jarkko Ruutu, the league gave him 30 games.

Scott doesn’t have Simon’s rap sheet, so that length of suspension seems almost unthinkable.

Then again, why wait?

49514J25

There are goons, and there are rats.

Rarely do you get both in one hockey player.

But the Buffalo Sabres, a franchise fallen on very hard times, have such a player.

A goon rat in Sabres clothing, as it were.

A player, quite simply, who needs to have his membership as a player in the NHL revoked for a considerable period of time, an exceptional case even these days when there seems to be a suspension-per-day and NHLPA members seem more determined than ever to cause each other serious brain injuries.

People complain that we in the media only want to talk about this stuff.

How can we not?

There’s a new sensational violation every day.

The notion that 6-foot-9 John Scott “polices” anything took a body blow in September when he decided to try and pick a fight with Phil Kessel, the star forward of the Maple Leafs. Kessel got suspended, David Clarkson got suspended, and Scott skipped away free and clear.

On Wednesday, Scott blew the “code” to smithereens with another brutal decision, this time racing across the ice to deliver a vicious, late, blind side head shot to another skill player, Loui Eriksson of the Boston Bruins.

Presumably, Scott’s next target will be a player standing on crutches in the hallway. Or perhaps a grandmother in the first row.

For some time, while the “code” has become increasingly cloudy, there was still a line between goon and rat.

A goon was there just to fight and only to fight.

Not to score or forecheck or backcheck. Just fight.

Scott, 31, fits the profile. Over the past six seasons, he has 35 fights and one goal. He used to play defence, and thus play a little more, but now most nights he’s in the five- or six-minute range.

Generally speaking, the idea is that goons fight goons, or at least similarly sized players.

Occasionally a middleweight like Brandon Prust or Clarkson might get involved, but mostly goons drop ’em with goons and people know how the system works.

Rats, meanwhile, are there to take cheap shots at good players, to distract them, irritate them and ideally get them to retaliate and take penalties.

NASHVILLE — Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne will miss at least four weeks after he has arthroscopic surgery on his hip.

The Predators Thursday announced the move but did not say when Rinne will undergo surgery. Rinne had surgery on his left hip May 9 and recovered in time to start the season.

He currently is 4-4-1 with a 2.31 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage. Rinne was in net Tuesday night for a 2-0 loss at Minnesota.

Nashville has recalled goalie Magnus Hellberg from Milwaukee under emergency conditions to replace Rinne.

A two-time Vezina Trophy finalist from Finland, Rinne is sixth in the NHL with 152 wins since the 2008-09 season and has 30 shutouts since 200809, which leads all goalies during that time.

Nashville hosts Winnipeg Thursday night.

missed Kaleta’s appeal, siding with director of player safety Brendan Shanahan, who handed down the original penalty on Oct. 15. Shanahan said in his decision that Kaleta could have avoided contact with Johnson’s head.

The punishment will cost Kaleta US$152,439 in lost salary. Kaleta has already served four games of the ban and is eligible to return Nov. 2 against Anaheim.

Even though the suspension was upheld, Kaleta still has the option of taking his case to neutral discipline arbitrator James Oldham. This isn’t the first time Kaleta has been in trouble with the NHL. He 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.

Excitement builds as Eagles return to AAA SENIOR MEN’S HOCKEY

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF The Innisfail Eagles have had their sights set on returning to senior AAA hockey for some time now.

When Brian Sutter moved from the Bentley Generals to take over as the Eagles head coach last season, that goal become even more realistic.

“At one time we were at the AAA level, but we tried to incorporate more local players, so we dropped to the AAA level,” explained Eagles president Randy Graham. “But we also had the ambition to return to AAA and when Brian came on board that sped up the process.”

The Eagles, who have been around since 1947, officially made the move this season, and while they have the talent to compete, they also realize they need to continue to improve before they can challenge for a national title.

That was evident in a 7-0 loss to the Generals in Chinook Hockey League action during the weekend.

“It was an eye-opener and made us realize if we want to win a champion-

ship we need to step up a notch,” said Graham, who is also a forward with the team. “We’ve come a long way, but we still have a ways to go,.”

Still Graham feels any team in the CHL can win on any given day.

“The mental part of the game is huge,” he said. “I believe any team in our league can beat any other team on a given day and it comes down to who’s ready to play. For us to play the defending Allan Cup champions right off the bat was a good bench mark.”

The Eagles spent most of the summer adding talent to their roster. That was aided with the addition of several players moving over from the Generals and the Sylvan Lake Admirals, who folded just before the CHL season.

“The addition of the players from Bentley certainly adds to our depth and leadership in the room,” said Graham.

Jim Vandermeer, Tyler Haarstad and Travis Dunnstall all played with last year’s Allan Cup champions while Kevin Smyth played several years for the Generals prior to moving to Innisfail last season.

“They’ve been there and know what it takes to win, that’s invaluable,” add-

ed Graham. “As well Dunnstall is a great addition offensively.”

Dunnstall, who played in the Western Hockey League with Kamloops and Medicine Hat, had five goals and nine helpers in 16 games with the Generals last season.

The Eagles also added defencemen Luke Boyer and Chris Neurauter and forward Aaron Boyer from last year’s Sylvan Lake squad.

“Overall we had 30 to 32 guys out, which makes for a lot of competition . . . it’s healthy to have,” said Graham.

The team has three goaltenders on hand, including veteran Jason Kipling, who joins Bryce Luker and Jonathan Larose.

“Last year Brian kept three goaltenders, so we may do the same again this year, I’m not sure,” offered Graham.

Team captain Tylor Keller, who played in the Alberta Colleges Men’s Hockey League with Camrose and Mount Royal, was team captain last year and leads the team in scoring this season with two goals and two assists in two games. Darrin Robak, a 21-yearold from Red Deer, who played last season with SAIT, is also expected to be an offensive force with the team.

“We have a lot of younger players this year, which makes for a good mix with the veterans,” said Graham, who

is in his second year as president. However, he was with the team for years and a main cog in putting together the board of directors “four or five years ago.”

“I was chairman when they started the process,” he said.

Graham wasn’t playing at the time after suffering a bad injury when he was 26.

“I took nine years off but when Brian came here I got the itch to play again, so I went out just to see what would happen, and it’s been good.”

What Graham does is make sure he divides the player from the president.

“I try to separate the two. I don’t want my teammates to look at me as the president, but rather Randy the right winger. When it comes to the management of the team the on-ice side is run by Brian and Jason (general manager Lenz).”

The excitement around the team this season is at an all-time high.

“There’s a definite excitement in the room” said Graham. “The fans are talking about the team and we’ve received a lot of support from the Innisfail town council.”

The Eagles return to CHL play tonight when they host the Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs at 8:30 p.m. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

Jacob Bottomley and Chandler Knibb each had a pair of goals to lead the Stampeders, with Bottomley also adding an assist.

Brad Zimmerman, Tyson Crampain, Cole Visser, who also had two helpers, and Damian Pannenbecker rounded out the Ponoka scoring, while Eli Falls and Nathaniel Nickle combined to make 28 saves.

Canadian hurdler Felicien retires at 33

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canadian track star Perdita Felicien shows off a gold medal while announcing her retirement from sports at George Webster Elementary School in Toronto on Thursday.

TORONTO — Canadian hurdler Perdita Felicien retired from competition Thursday, ending a career marked by a number of glorious highs along with crushing disappointment at the Summer Olympics.

Felicien won a world outdoor title in 2003 and added a world indoor title a year later. She was a favourite to win gold at the 2004 Athens Olympics but instead provided one of the more shocking moments of the Games.

Felicien tripped over a hurdle and fell to the ground in the final of what would be her last appearance on the Olympic track.

“I think that’s what this career has been — it has been a cocktail of triumphs, a cocktail of defeats. It’s a mishmash of everything,” Felicien said. “But I will say that the one moment that I felt in 2003, if it meant I had to re-live 10,000 moments like Athens, I would.”

Felicien proudly watched a replay of her historic effort in Paris on a big screen after making her retirement announcement in front of a few hundred children at a Toronto elementary school. She ran the 100-metre hurdles in 12.53 seconds that day in 2003 to become the first Canadian woman to win an athletics gold

medal at the world outdoor championships.

“There was so much elation in that moment, it was so intoxicating,” she said. “It was all the things that you have worked for, all the things that you had put together, the pieces of the puzzle came together in perfect synergy and I can’t explain it more than that.

“And yes, Athens was dark and it was terrible and it was horrible. And it will always be the one for me that got away.

But at the same time I think it’s made me a more wholesome person. I don’t take things for granted anymore.”

The 33-year-old from Pickering, Ont., has a sparkling resume from her 13-year track career. Felicien retires as the Canadian record-holder in both the 100-metre hurdles (12.46 seconds) and 60-metre hurdles (7.75). She’s a 10-time national champion, two-time Olympian and two-time Pan Am Games silver medallist.

Felicien competed in eight world championships over a 10-year span, taking gold at the 2004 indoor world championships in Budapest, and is a three-time NCAA champion.

She started thinking about retirement a few months ago when she wondered whether another four-year Olympic cycle was in the cards.

“Quite frankly the tiger that you need to have inside, instead of roaring, it started to

purr,” she said. “I knew that was a sign that I had to bow out gracefully.”

After the heartbreak in Athens, her Olympic disappointment continued at the 2008 Beijing Games when she was unable to race due to a foot injury. She was gunning for Olympic redemption in the summer of 2012 but failed to qualify for the London-bound team after false-starting in the final at the trials.

“For me, the Olympic medal is the only thing that has eluded me,” she said. “I don’t cry myself to sleep at night over it.

I tried valiantly for four Olympic cycles to go after it and it just never happened on the day. But to be amongst the top five, the top six for 10 years, I don’t think anyone else has that credit to their name.

“So I sleep well at night knowing that I gave everything I had every single time that I was on the track and that’s all that I could do.”

Felicien, who worked as a track analyst at the 2008 Games, plans to start work as a videographer at a Hamilton television station next month.

She recently earned a postgraduate certificate in broadcast journalism.

“When you’re an athlete racing, you never think it’s going to happen,” she said of retirement. “But the day is here.

I’m older now and a new life beckons.”

Williams reaches semis at WTA Championships TENNIS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ISTANBUL, Turkey — Top-ranked Serena Williams advanced to the semifinals of the WTA Championships by sweeping past Petra Kvitova 6-2, 6-3 on Thursday.

Williams, the defending champion, won all three matches in her group without dropping a set. She’s bidding for her fourth title in the elite, eightwomen tournament.

Earlier, Li Na outlasted Jelena Jankovic 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 for her second victory in two matches and eight-seeded Angelique Kerber upset No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2, 6-2 to remain in contention for the semifinals. Radwanska was eliminated.

Kerber went 0-3 last year in the tournament and this was her first win in the event. She will play Kvitova on Friday for a slot in the last four.

Williams needed to win only a set to qualify and she breezed through the first despite fighting off three break points in the very first game. She quickly warmed up to overwhelm the fifth-seeded Kvitova, who won Wimbledon and the WTA title in 2011. Kvitova had to withdraw last year because of injury.

“Something told me to hold serve in that game, and I’m glad I did,” Williams said. “Could have definitely changed things. I could still be out there. I really just dug deep and tried to hold.

“When I play top players or a Grand Slam winner, such as Kvitova who has such a dangerous game, you’ve got

Angelique Kerber returns a shot to Agnieszka Radwanska during their tennis match at the WTA championship in Istanbul, Turkey, Thursday. to go in there knowing that anything can happen, and I have to be really focused.”

Williams did not stop after the first set and broke serve again for a decisive 3-1 lead in the second. Williams set up a match point with a service winner and won when Kvitova’s return sailed into the net. She finished with 11 aces.

“I think her serve is really big, so I knew I wanted to hold. I served well,” said Williams, who has never lost to

Kvitova in five matches.

Williams, 32, is enjoying the finest season in her career, having already won 10 titles. She added the French Open and U.S. Open titles to bring her Grand Slam record to 17 championships and is 76-4 for the year.

Making her eighth appearance in the event, Williams is looking to become the first player to successfully defend the title since Justine Henin in 2007. Henin was also the last to win 10 titles in a season, in 2007.

Williams has clinched the year-end No. 1 ranking for the third time in her career after 2002 and 2009.

The key to Li’s victory in an errorfilled match full of long rallies was her break of serve in the third set for a 4-3 lead. She never looked behind again, winning the last three games. Jankovic hit a backhand into the net on Li’s second match point.

The fourth-seeded Li has a 2-0 record in the White Group and looks likely to advance to the semifinals for the first time. Seventh-seeded Jankovic is 1-1. Jankovic is back in the tournament for the first time in three years. The two of them and Victoria Azarenka are vying to make the semis.

“It was tight, yeah, but at least it’s better than the last two years,” said Li, who won only once in 2011 and 2012.

She was pleased to add she had one foot in the semis but her other foot was “still out of the door.”

Kerber is 1-1 in the Red Group. Radwanska fell to 0-3.

“I’m feeling good,” Kerber said. “I was really playing very well today ... I was focused from the first point.”

Li holds a 6-4 career edge over her Serbian friend, but she had to work hard for her win. Both players were inconsistent and error-prone. Li had 45 unforced errors and 21 winners, Jankovic 36 unforced errors and 17 winners.

“We had a great fight,” Jankovic said. “In the third set it was just a couple of points. I got broken in that (seventh) game. She lobbed me, and the ball went on the line.”

Li followed the lob with a crisp backhand winner to take the game.

“They were the crucial points at that stage and made a difference,” Jankovic said.

at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open last weekend and surged into the lead with a 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole. He capped the round with another birdie on the 18th after sticking his approach within inches of the hole.

Keegan Bradley had seven birdies to finish two strokes back in second, and Sergio Garcia was another shot behind at 6 under.

The $7 million tournament at the Kuala Lum-

pur Golf and Country Club was included on the U.S. PGA Tour’s new wraparound season this year, marking the first time the tour has offered FedEx Cup points at a tournament in Asia.

This has helped attract a top field, including British Open champion Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Bubba Watson and defending champion Nick Watney. Tiger Woods, who tied for fourth place last year, is skipping the Malaysian

event.

Mickelson, however, started the wraparound season on the wrong note.

Playing for the first time since the Presidents Cup, he had two errant drives off the tee — one into waist-high foliage, the other into the water — that led to double-bogeys and an overall score of 1-under 71.

“I’m swinging awful.

I’m swinging terribly at the ball,” Mickelson said. “The lead for me right now is irrelevant.

It’s so far off that that’s the last thing on my mind because I just don’t know where the ball is going.”

It was also a tough day for Watney, who was paired with Mickelson in one of the last groups on the course. Watney

started the day with two bogeys on his first three holes and never fully recovered, ending up in a share of 65th place at 3 over.

“Pretty much everything went wrong. I putted terribly, didn’t drive the ball into the fairway enough,” he said. “I’m disappointed, especially coming this far to play poorly.”

Pospisil reaches quarter-finals after win over Karlovic in Switzerland BASEL, Switzerland — Canada’s Vasek Pospisil reached his third quarter-final of the season as he knocked out big-serving Croat Ivo Karlovic 6-3, 6-4 Thursday at the Swiss Indoors tennis tournament.

Pospisil, whose season-ending goal is to improve his ATP Tour ranking enough to qualify for one of the 32 seedings at January’s Australian Open, dominated Karlovic in 59 minutes.

The world No. 40 never faced a break point and limited the big man’s threatening ace count to a mere eight, while striking five key aces of his own.

“I played really well today and did a lot of things well,” Pospisil said. “I’m thrilled and very excited over how it went.

“My goal going in was obviously to focus on her serve and try to handle it.

I was really concentrating even more on the things I could control. It was inevitable that he was going to serve

aces, I just had to deal with them.”

Pospisil, from Vancouver, will next face another Croat, Ivan Dodig, who beat former finalist Kei Nishikori in the second round.

Pospisil remains the lone Canadian in the field after Milos Raonic withdrew for personal reasons and Daniel Nestor lost alongside Pospisil in the doubles first round.

Pospisil brought his best came to court from the start against Karlovic, breaking the Croat for 4-2 in the first set and taking it in 28 minutes with a second-serve ace on the first of three set points, The second set went much the same way as Pospisil broke in the seventh game for a 4-3 margin, then converted on a match point three games later.

“I served very well,” Pospisil said.

“I’ve been working on a lot of things with my new coach (Frederic Fontang) and the hard work is paying off.”

Karlovic had beaten Pospisil earlier this year at the post-Wimbledon Newport grass tournament.

high-performance director want to see her race again before they’re willing to declare her on the 2014 Olympic squad.

“She’s got to show a certain level of fitness that she’s where she was when she dropped out last year,” high-performance director Tom Holland said. “She has met the nomination criteria for the Games, but we want to see that level of fitness.”

Added head coach Justin Wadsworth: “She chose to decline her spot on the team. Right now, we’re analysing her racing and her training. If she looks like she can be fit enough to race World Cup then she’ll come on the World Cup with us. If not, she’ll stay here and keep training and we’ll evaluate that later in the season.”

Crawford herself doesn’t harbour any doubts that she’ll be named to the Olympic squad.

“I’m qualified for the Sochi Olympics,” she stated. “I don’t what it would take to undo that.

I feel totally secure and I’m preparing for Feb. 11. To prepare for that, I want to see indications of my shape more than anyone.”

Her plan is to travel to Sweden next month for some warmup sprints before her first scheduled World Cup in Davos, Switzerland, on Dec. 15.

Crawford participated in a sprint race at Canmore Nordic Centre on Thursday against members of the U.S. team. A track was created from snow stored underground over the summer. Crawford has also been struggling with low levels of iron in her blood in recent weeks.

“That happens to tons of athletes,” she said. “I feel all right.

I’m really happy with the training I’ve done and my body is working really well.”

Patrick Chan hopes move to Detroit propels him to Olympic gold THE CANADIAN PRESS SAINT JOHN, N.B. — Less than a year out from the Sochi Olympics, Patrick Chan traded picturesque Colorado for downtrodden Detroit.

But according to the three-time world champion from Toronto, happiness isn’t about where he is, but who he’s with, and he believes his move to the Motor City will help propel him to Olympic gold in Sochi.

“Honestly the mountains and high altitude air gets old very quickly,” Chan said Thursday, on the eve of Skate Canada International. “Nature is beautiful, but no mountains or snow is going to make you happy when you’re just not in a good environment.”

The 22-year-old moved from Colorado Springs last spring, just a couple of weeks before winning his third consecutive world title in London, Ont. The training environment in Colorado had grown chilly, he said.

“I don’t think I was surrounded by friends where I could feel I had camaraderie, and that’s what I found in Michigan,” Chan said.

Chan has found a home in what’s become a hotbed for figure skating, and where he trains alongside fellow Canadians Elladj Balde, Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje, and American Jeremy Abbott.

Detroit also filed for

FIGURE SKATING bankruptcy protection in July in the largest municipal filing in U.S. history.

“Honestly, sure the first thing people say about Detroit is how they’re bankrupt and its run down. But honestly it’s growing, it’s making a reversal,” Chan said.

“I go out every weekend with friends, we go to really great restaurants, it’s not like it’s Armageddon. It’s not like it’s wasteland, it’s still a really nice place, it’s culturally abundant and a place I’m really happy to be at.”

Chan makes his season debut at Skate Canada, and is hoping to rediscover the confidence he had three seasons ago when he set three world scoring records in winning his first world title in Moscow.

He spent a good chunk of his off-season looking back at his most successful skates, and conjured Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, who was asked after a win: “How did you know you were going to win?”

“And he was like, ’Well the minute I stepped on the mound, I knew I was going to win.’ I noticed that when I won my first world championship, the minute I stepped on the ice, I knew I was going to win. There was no question, there was no doubt, there was no worry. I was

just there to do my job, I was kind of like a robot.”

He hasn’t added any new elements to his programs this season, and said his No. 1 focus will be “landing on my feet.” “(I have) a new long program but I’m not trying any new jumps or anything, because I believe I have all the elements I need. I still haven’t skated a competition yet where I’ve done both a great clean short program and a clean long program.

“I have all the elements, so it’s just putting them all together with the beautiful transitions that I have and then landing the jumps. All of that together I think is an unbeatable program.”

Olympic ice dance champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir will debut their new short and free dance programs for a Canadian audience in what’s expected to be their final season competing.

Canadians Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford, who won bronze at last spring’s world championships, will be favourites in pairs.

Kaitlyn Osmond, a 17-year-old from Marystown, N.L., is the defending Skate Canada women’s singles champion, but was sidelined last month with a stress reaction — a precursor to a stress fracture — on the top of her left foot,

Canadians looking to earn place in boat race between Oxford and Cambridge

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canadian Olympians Malcolm Howard and Anthony Jacob are included in the Oxford and two Cambridge squads that will compete for places in the 2014 BNY Mellon Boat Race.

The men’s squads seeking a place in the 160th Boat Race feature five Olympians who rowed in the London 2012 Olympic Games: four for Oxford and one at Cambridge.

Howard, a Victoria native who won Olympic gold for Canada in the men’s eight at Beijing and silver in London, helped Oxford win the 2013 race by 1 ½

lengths over Cambridge.

He became the third Canadian ever to stroke a Boat Race crew, following Kip McDaniel for Cambridge (2006) and Mike Evans for Oxford (1984).

The Oxford victory cut Cambridge’s overall lead to 81-77 in one of England’s oldest and most prestigious sporting events.

The possible 2014 Oxford crew also features Olympians Storm Uru of New Zealand, Constantine Louloudis of Britain and Zimbabwe’s James FraserMackenzie.

Victoria’s Anthony Jacob brings his London 2012 Olympic experience in the coxless four to the Cambridge boat.

and wasn’t sure until last week whether she’d compete here.

“Back in the month of September, I was nervous,” Osmond said. “I wasn’t skating, I was in a walking cast, and the thought of coming back and being ready in less than a month was something that did really cause me a lot of nerves before I got back on the ice.”

Osmond has altered her programs, removing a couple of the jumps that were causing her pain.

Her coach Ravi Walia said Osmond was iffy for Skate Canada until last week.

“I saw her do a runthrough last week and thought, ’OK, she’ll be able to do enough to compete,”’ Walia said.

“She’s not at 100 per cent for sure. The muscle memory isn’t there, some of the detail. . . but she will get better with each event, and that is the goal.”

leg injuries since winning gold in 2006, but has also won seven World Cup medals since then.

Crawford says the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, will be her last. She is still deciding if she’ll race one more season after the Winter Games.

But Crawford has ample motivation to race in Sochi. The women’s sprint final Feb. 11 is going to be a skate-ski race again as it was in 2006.

With her raw power, Crawford has always felt more in her element in skating races than in classic, the striding technique which requires more finesse and less power.

She worked to improve her classic style for the women’s sprint at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver and Whistler, B.C., approached.

But on Feb. 17, 2009, a year to the day before she raced the Olympic sprint in the Callaghan Valley, Crawford had surgery on both her lower legs to relieve the pain and pressure of compartment syndrome, a condition that compresses nerves and blood vessels.

She wasn’t able to race any World Cups in 2008-09. Crawford finished 26th at the 2010 Winter Games.

Simply staying home and not flying to other time zones this past summer has helped Crawford recover her energy.

But the consequences of Crawford’s decision to step away from the national team was losing her Sport Canada funding of about $2,000 per month. Crawford also no longer had access to the Canadian team’s medical and equipment support staff.

And while Crawford has already met the criteria to compete in Sochi, Canada’s coach and

CANMORE — Chandra Crawford made unusual, and some might say risky, decisions to extend her cross-country ski career.

Burned out, racing in pain and unable to find the speed she wanted, Crawford left the Canadian team in February before the racing season was over in Europe.

She returned to her home in Canmore, Alta.

The 29-year-old saw two options ahead of her: retire or resume training with the national team when they returned to Canada.

Crawford believed neither would get back on top of the Olympic podium where she’d stood in Turin, Italy in 2006.

She opted out of the Canadian team’s off-season training program after participating in one summer camp in Bend, Ore., in May. She didn’t join her teammates at other summer camps in New Zealand and California.

Instead, Crawford decided to train on her own in Canmore.

“Deciding to train on my own was actually a middle ground between not skiing and pursuing the Olympic year in the normal way as I have the last 14 years,” Crawford said Thursday at Canmore Nordic Centre.

“I wasn’t happy with either of those. I found this middle ground that was a unique solution for where I’m coming from, with all this overtraining and all this energy stuff and where I want to go, which is the Olympic final on this great course in Sochi.”

Crawford attributes her burnout to overtraining heading into the 2013-14 season, but also to the cumulative effect of travelling around the world, draining her tank in races and also training hard for those races for 14 years.

She’s dealt with foot and lower

OLYMPICS

YANGMEI, Taiwan — Defending champion Suzann Pettersen shot a 4-under 68 for a three-stroke lead after the first round of the Sunrise Championship on Thursday as she tries to close the gap to Ingbee Park atop the LPGA rankings.

Americans Alison Walshe and Irene Cho were tied for second with Karine Icher of France and Caroline Hedwall of Sweden.

After an early bogey on the par-3 second hole, Pettersen ran off six birdies before bogeying the 16th, also a par-3.

“I feel pretty good with my game,” Pettersen said.

“I feel my ball striking is pretty much where I want it to be.”

Local favourite Yani Tseng, the 2011 Sunrise champion, only managed a disappointing 76, while Lexi Thompson of the U.S. shot 74.

Tseng said she was thankful to the Taiwanese fans for sticking with her as she struggled through her round.

“I need to be more confident,” she said. “I need to believe in myself a little more.”

HONOURS EXHIBIT ON TOUR Decorations offered to some of Canada’s most storied heroes are now winding their way toward Stettler. The Honours Exhibit, a collection of medals and insignia belonging to the Governor General’s office — along with stories of the people who won them — is on a Western Canadian tour that started in Regina on July 31. Included in the exhibit is a hologram message from astronaut Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian to command the International Space Station. The exhibit is being set up at Stettler Middle School, where it will be open to the public on Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit www. gg.ca/honoursexhibit for a complete tour schedule and to learn more about the exhibit.

CASH FOR SERVICE DOGS A Central Alberta RV resort has raised $30,000 for service dogs for autism in the region.

The RV resort residents of Green Acres at Pine Lake rallied together to raise $15,000 for the B.C. and Alberta Guide Dog Services. This was then matched by the owners of Green Acres. The goal was achieved throughout numerous fundraisers over the summer. A cheque was presented to the dog services’ CEO at the Foothills Hospital, where one of the rally’s main organizers, Rob Vanbiezen, is hospitalized.

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF The provincial government plans to dissolve regional boards that govern children, families and persons with developmental disabilities.

On Wednesday, the province announced it will be introducing legislation in the fall to eliminate regional Child and Family Service Authorities and Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) boards.

Those boards will be replaced with Family and Community Engagement Councils that combine the two agencies and liaison between the Department of Human Services and community residents.

“They’ll bring information from the ministry to the community and if the communities have concerns, they will take those concerns forward to the ministry,” said Diana Rowe, a member of the PDD Central Region Community Board, on Thursday.

The existing boards are expected to be collapsed by the end of December.

Rowe said the new councils would be

similar to health advisory councils.

Health advisory councils were developed when Alberta Health and Wellness eliminated all nine regional health boards in 2008. The regional boards, including David Thompson Health Authority Board that governed Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, were wiped put and replaced with a single, provincial board for the new provincial administration Alberta Health Services.

ming will still exist.

She said the councils will make it easier for children with developmental disabilities to transition to adult supports with PDD. “That makes sense. It’s trying to streamline that in a new method that will make sense for everyone, especially for families,” Rowe said.

Lily Breland, of Red Deer, a guardian for her two adult sons with developmental disabilities, said local boards will likely have even less influence on provincial policies than regional boards.

Alberta Environment swoops down on shops

BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF A number of Central Alberta auto shop owners came face to face with Alberta Environment earlier this month after a sudden sweep of inspections was conducted in Stettler, Innisfail and Sylvan Lake.

The series of inspections, conducted on Oct. 8 and 9 by the Red Deer Compliance Team, was an educational way to ensure businesses are compliant with Alberta Environment law and regulations.

The sweep is also to prevent fines or other penalties down the road, said Alberta Environment communications officer Sarah Jackson.

No fines were issued in any of the 41 businesses visited by environment protection officers.

Officers did, however, provide business owners with reports noting deficiencies and areas of concern that were to be taken care of within a designated amount of time.

“While some of these issues will cost the businesses, they are items that must be done to follow environmental laws and regulations.

This sweep was not just an exercise in getting businesses to have things such as secondary containment established — some of these

businesses had contamination issues due to improper storage that is already causing environmental impacts, great and small. There are real consequences to these violations,” Jackson said.

Kevin Massignan, owner of Specialty Automotive Repairs in Innisfail, said he estimates he’s spent between $5,000 to $6,000 since the inspector visit.

“The things they found here, I was thinking of doing it anyway. ...

I’m putting a shelter around one of our storage units to keep rainwater and snow off of it,” he said.

Duncalfe was also given two weeks to put together a compliance plan, outlining how he would go about upgrading.

‘THERE ARE REAL CONSEQUENCES TO THESE VIOLATIONS.’

Lacombe replacing garbage bins Lacombe has dropped a controversial plan to replace dozens of communal garbage bins with smaller rollout versions.

Under the city’s new Solid Waste Roadmap, a pilot project was proposed earlier this year to replace 60 of the bins with 240 rollout versions.

Replacing all of the city’s roughly 600 bins with rollouts was expected to take about 10 years, and when complete was estimated

to add another $3.30 to monthly utility bills.

The scheme drew criticism from a number of town residents, who argued the smaller bins would be costly, inconvenient and prove a nuisance for seniors.

Council opted last month to keep the current mix of rollout bins and communal dumpsters.

New subdivisions will get rollout bins.

A blue box recycling program

was also approved for all residential areas of the city. To address resident concerns, pickup will happen in back alleys in some areas.

The recycling program will cost residents about $3.40 more on their monthly utility bills.

Lacombe is also expanding its green bin composting program by adding 50 bins at various locations around the community next year.

One of three adult suspects accused in a paintball caper earlier this year has accepted a plea deal and will be sentenced in January.

Red Deer City RCMP were called to complaints of a young man shooting paintballs at the Tim Hortons on Gaetz Avenue and 67th Street late in the evening on March 14.

Shortly after, police got reports of four people in a white pickup truck shooting paintballs at a woman who had been standing outside the Boston Pizza, seven blocks further north.

Minutes later, police were called to a nearby McDonald’s Restaurant, where it was reported that a masked man shot two workers with paintballs before fleeing the scene with other suspects.

Police tracked down the truck and four suspects, alleging that they found two paintball markers inside the vehicle.

Arrested on numerous charges were one youth and adults Ashley Young, 19, Lucas Andreef, 20, and Justin Calderbank, 18.

The three adults were jointly charged with a variety of offences, including mischief and assault with a weapon.

In Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday, Calderbank pleaded guilty to a reduced list of charges, including three counts of assault with a weapon and one count of mischief.

The remaining charges are to be withdrawn at sentencing.

At the request of case resolution officer Murray Shack, sentencing has been adjourned to Jan. 7 to allow time for the preparation of a presentence report.

Andreef and Young, whose charges have been severed from those facing Calderbank, pleaded not guilty earlier and are scheduled to stand trial in Red Deer provincial court on April 28.

Separate proceedings are underway for the youth, who cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Tough topics for Teen Empowerment

Red Deer City Coun. Paul Harris’ second sculptural installation was installed this week at the restaurant section of Clearview Market Square. Harris’s first metal trees sculpture, Growth, was erected at the Sheraton Red Deer Hotel in 2010 to highlight the loss of real trees that resulted from what he considers questionable intersection widening. This second pair, called Smart Growth, draws attention to what Harris calls smart development in Clearview Ridge, which takes into consideration the needs of residents, businesses, motorists and pedestrians.

Driver faces weapons, drug charges

Man dies of injures after truck rolls

Red Deer City RCMP checking out a suspicious car resulted in more than two dozen weapons and drug charges against the driver.

Police on patrol in Johnstone Park subdivision on Oct. 17 noticed a small car bearing a licence plate that appeared to have been stolen, said media liaison officer Sarah Knelsen on Thursday.

Police said that a check of the licence number determined that the car had also allegedly been stolen.

The driver was then pulled over and searched, leading police to search a home in Johnstone Park as well. Police say they seized “a large amount” of drugs and a stolen firearm from the car, as well as several more firearms and a small amount of methamphetamine from the house.

Richard Bradley Krepps, 28, made his first appearance in Red Deer provincial court on Monday to address charges including seven counts of having a firearm contrary to an order; seven counts of knowingly possessing a prohibited firearm; three counts of possessing a weapon obtained through crime; two counts of possessing property obtained by crime; and six counts of possessing drugs for trafficking.

Currently in custody at the Red Deer Remand Centre, Krepps, represented by defence counsel Will Willms, returns to court on Wednesday to address bail.

A Sundre man has died of injuries after his pickup truck rolled on the Trans-Canada Highway, west of Cochrane, just before midnight on Wednesday.

Cochrane RCMP said emergency crews were called to the westbound lanes near Scott Lake Hill, where witnesses reported seeing a pickup truck overturned and a man lying on the road.

A STARS air ambulance was called out, but could not land because of heavy fog, said RCMP Sgt. Audrey Robinson.

The 31-year-old man was taken by ground ambulance to a hospital in Calgary, where he later died, said Robinson. He was alone in the vehicle, she said.

Police do not plan to release his name.

Located in the Morley First Nation, Scott Lake Hill is one of the highest points on the Trans-Canada Hwy.

She said she has been waiting since spring to find out if funding changes are in store for her sons.

In May, hundreds of people with disabilities and their caregivers protested outside the legislature against the province’s plan to cut $42 million in supports for Persons with Developmental Disabilities.

The province says funding hasn’t

Bill Lough, president of Society of Parents and Friends of Michener Centre, which is still fighting the closure of Michener, wondered whether recommendations from community councils would be respected.

“I think they will centralize a lot of the decision-making into Edmonton,” Lough said.

The province is talking about listening to communities and creating collaborative local solutions, but the province sure didn’t listen when the community asked them to keep Michener Centre open, he said.

Red Deer North MLA Mary Anne

Jablonski said the changes to PDD and Child and Family Services is all about serving people better by eliminating the division between social-based assistance programs and developing “one-stop shopping.”

“It’s just part of the transformation to provide services in a more efficient way, a less frustrating way. Especially when you’re dealing with disabilities, you don’t want the process to be so difficult it’s more frustrating,” Jablonski said.

Craig Loewen, the press secretary to Human Services Minister Dave Hancock, said the changes are expected to reduce costs slightly within a few years, but there is no target amount for savings.

“The thinking is eventually there will be costs savings, but there’s no set goal. This is a policy-driven decision,” Loewen said. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

STORY FROM PAGE C1

In a news release issued on March 18, police said the kidnapping was a targeted incident and did not pose a risk to the general public.

Logan Mitchell, 18, Gregory Roberts, 26, Scott Hebert, 32, and Thomas Larkin, 33, were arrested and jointly charged with offences including extortion, kidnapping, possession of dangerous weapons, assault, assault with a weapon, robbery and theft of a vehicle worth more than $5,000.

All four suspects pleaded not guilty in Red Deer provincial court on April 12 and asked to be tried in the Court of Queen’s Bench, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Feb. 19, 2014.

Faced with the prospect of all four men spending nearly a year in custody awaiting the hearing, Judge Harry Gaede ordered that the Crown make an attempt to find earlier dates.

Earlier this month, Mitchell accepted a plea deal and was sentenced in Red Deer provincial court to 18 months in jail on charges of extortion and vehicle theft, with seven months credit for the time he has spent in remand awaiting trial. Remaining charges against him were dropped as a result of the guilty plea.

Roberts, Hebert and Larkin have maintained their guilty pleas, but waived their request for a preliminary hearing and will go straight to trial in the Court of Queen’s Bench.

Their trial dates will be addressed during the next available arraignment day.

Ozone hole over South Pole shrinks SCIENTISTS CREDIT WARM UPPER AIR FOR MAKING HOLE SMALLER BY SIX PER CENT

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Scientists say warm upper air this September and October helped shrink the manmade ozone hole near the South Pole slightly.

The hole is an area in the atmosphere with low ozone concentrations. It is normally at its biggest this time of year.

The U.S. space agency says on average it covered 8.1 million square miles (20.9 million square km) this season. That’s six per cent smaller than the average since 1990.

High-altitude ozone shields Earth from ultraviolet radiation. NASA chief atmospheric scientist Paul A. Newman says the main reason for this year’s result is local weather.

The upper air has been warmer than normal, which led to fewer polar stratospheric clouds.

These clouds are where ozone is destroyed by chlorine and bromine, which come from man-made products.

Floating a trial balloon for space tourism THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The latest space tourism venture depends more on hot air than rocket science.

World View Enterprises announced plans Tuesday to send people up in a capsule, lifted 19 miles by a high-altitude balloon. Jane Poynter, CEO of the Tucson, Ariz.based company, said the price for the four-hour ride would be $75,000.

While it’s not quite space — that starts at 62 miles — the plan requires approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees commercial space.

Poynter said the plan uses existing technology and the first launch could be as early as the end of 2016.

“There are balloons this size that have already flown up many, many times for decades,” Poynter said. “From a technical point of view this is incredibly doable, low risk.”

The selling point is

the view of the Earth and seeing its curve, she said. The venture isn’t designed for passengers to experience weightlessness.

The flight would take 90 minutes to go up at about 1,000 feet a minute, set sail up high for 2 hours with an emphasis on smooth riding, and then come back down in 40 minutes, Poynter said.

The capsule’s interior will be roomy enough for its eight passengers to walk around.

Outside space expert Scott Pace, a former NASA associate administrator now space policy director at George Washington University, agreed that this is technically feasible.

He said the issue is whether there’s enough of a market for it to be financially doable, calling it “an interesting market test.”

Pace said the while there are many space tourism ventures, it is not quite right to call the field growing. It is still embryonic.

James Butler, director of the global monitoring division at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Earth System Research Lab, said Wednesday that the new figures are “sort of encouraging news.”

“It’s not getting worse,” Butler said.

“That’s a good sign.”

Butler said it stopped getting worse around the late 1990s.

“But he added, “We can’t say yet that it’s a recovery.”

Newman and Butler said they can’t tell if the ozone hole changes are related to man-made global warming.

While warm upper air helped keep the ozone hole small, the surface of the Southern Hemisphere was also warm last month, with the second-highest average temperature on record for September, NOAA an-

nounced Wednesday. Records go back to 1880.

For the entire globe, last month tied 2003 for the fourth hottest September on record.

September was the 343rd consecutive month that global temperatures have been higher than the 20th century average.

This year, after nine months, is on track to be the sixth — JAMES BUTLER warmest on record globally.

For the United States, this was the sixth warmest September on record and the hottest since 2005. But the nation’s average temperature over the first nine months of the year is only the 28th highest on record.

‘IT’S NOT GETTING WORSE. THAT’S A GOOD SIGN. BUT WE CAN’T SAY YET THAT IT’S A RECOVERY.’

Border efforts moving too slowly BOTH CANADA, U.S. STAKEHOLDERS COMPLAIN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — A Canada-U.S. group that’s supposed to be streamlining trade and travel between the world’s two biggest trading partners is instead suffering from a lack of momentum, disregarding new ideas and ignoring those industries most impacted by border barriers, stakeholders say.

No fewer than 28 different organizations and associations are complaining to the U.S. Federal Register about the Regulatory Co-operation Council, established as part of the Beyond the

Border initiatives, announced two years ago by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama.

The organizations are all signatories to a recent letter to the register, obtained by The Canadian Press, saying they aren’t being consulted about how to slash red tape at the border, which thickened significantly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

“Recent discussions by the RCC co-chairs have left many stakeholders concerned that the work being done in the RCC might not actually result in removing barriers,” reads the let-

ter, whose signatories include the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters.

“We believe it is essential that industry be consulted as a true partner in this initiative rather than the recipient of results from already completed activities.... Stakeholder involvement should also include more than regular updates. Stakeholders should be part of a proactive process to find solutions that can ease regulatory burdens.”

The letter also griped about the slow pace and the lack of transparency of the council’s work, saying it’s “unclear whether all the timelines are

still on track.”

Beyond the Border was conceived as a way to reduce regulatory burdens on a host of industries, including the agriculture and auto sectors, to integrate inspection systems and to allow travellers to move faster across the border.

While all of the 28 organizations that signed the letter support the council’s efforts, progress on the Beyond the Border goals has been “pretty slow going in some of the key areas,” said Mathew Wilson, vice-president of national policy for Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING

BANGLADESH FACTORY COLLAPSE

Agency still keeps too much personal info: watchdog THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s anti-money laundering agency continues to keep too much personal information about people, the federal privacy watchdog says.

In a newly released audit report, privacy commissioner Jennifer Stoddart says the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre has made limited progress in addressing the problem since she flagged it four years ago.

The centre, known as FinTRAC, zeros in on cash linked to money laundering, terrorism and other crimes by sifting through data from police, intelligence officers, banks, insurance companies, securities dealers, money service businesses, real estate brokers, casinos and others.

Institutions must report large cash transactions or electronic fund transfers of $10,000 or more, as well as any transactions where there are reasonable grounds to suspect money laundering or terrorist financing.

Stoddart found in 2009 that although reports about allegedly dubious transactions were reviewed and prioritized, they were not assessed for reasonable suspicion of illicit money move-

ment.

The privacy commissioner said Thursday she is disappointed in the latest results.

FinTRAC spokesman Darren Gibb said the agency is acting on Stoddart’s findings and he stressed that any sensitive information the organization has collected is not being misused.

“I don’t want to minimize concerns that she’s raised, because we’re moving to address those concerns,” he said. “But Canadians need to be reassured that the information they provide us will be protected, and that is our No. 1 priority.”

As of March 2012, FinTRAC’s databases held approximately 165 million reports containing personal information related to transactions such as house down payments, car purchases and wire transfers sent by parents to children studying abroad, the audit says.

Stoddart uncovered a number of reports that did not meet the $10,000 reporting threshold, along with examples that didn’t clearly spell out reasonable grounds for suspicion.

In one case, a financial institution filed a report when a storekeeper deposited $570 in $100, $50, $20 and $5 bills, but it did not indicate why the transaction was considered suspicious.

The Noodle Box and Costa Vida restaurants are under construction at the Village Mall in Red Deer.

New dining options coming to Village Mall Village Mall will soon offer a couple new dining options: one Mexican, the other Asian.

Construction is well underway on a building that will house a Costa Vida Fresh Mexican Grill and a Noodlebox Southeast Asian Noodle Bar. Both are expected to open in the first quarter of 2014, said Ron Schletz, senior leasing manager for Western Canada with property owner First Capital Realty Inc. Based in Utah, Costa Vida serves Baja-style burritos, tacos and other Mexican food products made in-house.

It has outlets throughout the Western United States, as well as one each in Calgary and Airdrie.

Noodlebox has eight locations in Vancouver, Victoria, Langford and Sidney, plus another at Airdrie. On its

menu are stir-fries, fried rice, kung pao, curries, soup, spring rolls, lettuce wraps and other items.

Village Mall is located southwest of the intersection of Gaetz Avenue and 67th Street.

Food services currently operating there are Red Deer Buffet Restaurant, A&W Restaurant and Starbucks Coffee Company.

“We had to do something we thought was complementary,” said Schletz.

Costa Vida will occupy 3,000 square feet and Noodlebox 2,000 square feet of the building going up at the former site of a Petro-Can service station, which was demolished in 2011.

“It’s such a nice prominent building, right front and centre,” said Schletz.

Neither restaurant will offer drivethrough service.

Monster grain crop compounds global glut SUPPLY SURGE ERODES PRICES AND TESTS LIMITS OF DOMESTIC STORAGE

BY JEN SKERRITT ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES WINNNIPEG — Canadian wheat and canola grower Mike Bast spent five years building silos to store 100,000 bushels on his 2,000-acre farm in La Salle, Manitoba. It wasn’t enough. He’s already dumping grain into his neighbor’s bins.

Harvests this year across the Prairie provinces of Canada, the world’s top canola producer and the second-largest exporter of wheat, will jump 14 percent to a record 80.8 million metric tons, the government said Oct. 16.

The supply surge is eroding prices and testing the limits of domestic storage.

Farmers are leaving crops in uncovered mounds amid a shortage of silage bags and a lack of space at grain elevators and export depots.

“I’ve never seen this much grain out in fields, in bags or in piles,” said Tyler Russell, the national grain-marketing manager for processor Cargill Inc.’s Canadian unit in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

“We have a monster crop.” Most storage space will be “pretty much full” during harvest months, he said.

Bin-busting output in Canada is compounding record global supplies as planting expanded from Brazil to Ukraine to the

U.S. Midwest after last year’s drought sent futures surging. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and Rabobank cut their price forecasts in the past month.

Global food costs that reached a threeyear low in September probably will drop 6 percent in 2014, the International Monetary Fund said on Oct. 8.

Wheat, Canada’s biggest crop, fell 10 percent this year to $6.9675 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade, and canola in Winnipeg slid 15 percent to C$498.50 ($484.36) a ton.

Grain and oilseed prices during the 12 months that began Aug. 1 will be as much as 30 percent lower on average than a year earlier, the government’s Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada said Oct. 16, after boosting its harvest forecasts by 5.7 percent from September.

The Standard & Poor’s GSCI Agriculture Index of eight commodities dropped 16 percent this year, including a 36 percent slump for corn, the biggest decline among 24 raw materials tracked by the S&P GSCI Spot Index, which is down 1.8 percent. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities advanced 17 percent since the end of December.

The Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index lost 2.2 percent.

percent this year to a record 33.17 million tons, the government estimates. Canola production will jump 16 percent to an all-time high of 16.03 million, while barley expands 18 percent to 9.43 million, the most since 2009. Corn was forecast to match last year’s record of 13.1 million tons.

While capacity at grain elevators has increased 5.4 percent in the past decade to 11.6 million tons, that’s down from 14 million in 1990, when the country had four times as many elevators, Canadian Grain Commission data show. The government doesn’t track storage on the nation’s farms, where production of grain and oilseeds are up 38 percent since 2003.

Grain Bags Canada, the largest seller of plastic sheets used as a cheaper alternative to metal bins for keeping harvested crops dry, has been sold out for the past month.

It’s the first time in its seven-year history that the Humboldt, Saskatchewan-based company had none to sell, including the popular 10-foot-by-300-foot (3-meter-by-91meter) bag that can hold as many as 15,000 bushels, President Aaron Yeager said.

“We knew before harvest there was going to be a shortage of grain bags,” said Yeager, adding that he plans on ordering as much as 40 percent more next year so he doesn’t run out.

TORONTO — Canadian grocery giant Loblaw Companies Ltd. said Thursday that it will provide long-term financial assistance to the surviving victims and families affected by a deadly factory collapse in Bangladesh.

The company said it “will begin providing long-term, direct financial compensation for the victims and their families that were producing our apparel at the New Wave Style factory in Rana Plaza,” one of five manufacturing plants in the Dhaka plaza that collapsed, killing more than 1,100 workers on April 24.

The factory produced clothing for Loblaw’s Joe Fresh clothing line.

Loblaw did not disclose the amount of compensation to be provided.

Loblaw has also joined with British clothing retailer Primark to provide financial assistance to workers of all retailers in the factory plaza.

“Should the other brands not step forward and join in this funding, we will join Primark and immediately contribute to the payment of three months wages for the approximately 3,600 individuals involved, regardless of the brand apparel that was being produced in their workplace,” said Bob Chant, Loblaw’s senior vice-president of corporate affairs and communications.

This latest announcement marks the sixmonth anniversary of the deadly factory collapse, which has been called the industry’s worst disaster.

Following the accident, Loblaw signed a five-year pact to improve fire and building safety in Bangladesh.

Several other big retailers have also signed the pact including Benetton, trendy Swedish fashion chain H&M, C&A of the Netherlands, British retailers Tesco and Primark, and Spain’s Inditex, owner of Zara.

The agreement requires that the companies conduct independent safety inspections, make their reports on factory conditions public and cover the costs for needed repairs.

The S&P/TSX composite index was ahead 81.43 points to 13,324.75.

The Canadian dollar was down 0.38 of a cent to 95.92 cents US after falling almost nine-tenths of a cent Wednesday after the Bank of Canada indicated that interest rates hikes are even further away than thought while revising downward its economic forecast through 2015.

New York markets were higher amid solid earnings from automaker Ford, with the Dow Jones industrials ahead 95.88 points to 15,509.21 while the Nasdaq gained 21.89 points to 3,928.96.

The S&P 500 index edged up 5.69 points to 1,752.07 as Ford earned an adjusted profit of 45 cents per share — a record for the third quarter— as sales rose 12 per cent to US$36 billion. Ford sold 1.5 million vehicles in the quarter, up 16 per cent. Analysts had expected Ford to earn 37 cents per share and its stock rose 24 cents to $17.76.

Buyers were encouraged by an HSBC survey showing that China’s manufacturing activity was higher than expected in October.

HSBC’s main index rose to a seven-month high of 50.9 points from 50.2 per cent in September — anything above 50 indicates expansion.

The consensus in markets had been for a more modest rise to 50.4.

The manufacturing data was released a day after markets were pressured by concerns over China’s banking sector — mainly due to a hot real estate market — that could prompt a tightening in monetary policy.

The gold sector led TSX advancers, up about 4.3 per cent while December bullion rose $16.30 to US$1,350.30 an ounce.

Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) helped power the component higher, advancing $1.19 to C$27.76 as the company posted net earnings of US$5 million, down from US$498 million in the same period last year amid rising costs and lower prices. That amounted to a penny per share for Goldcorp shareholders, compared with 61 cents per share last year. Revenue dropped to US$929 million from US$1.3 billion.

The base metals sector ran up 2.66 per cent even as copper closed unchanged at US$3.26 a pound after sliding seven cents Wednesday.

Teck Resources Ltd. (TSX:TCK.B) shares were ahead $1.13 to C$30.54 as the miner reported a third-quarter adjusted profit of $252 million, or 44 cents per share, which was far better than analyst estimates but down sharply from the same time last year as prices for all of its principal products have fallen.

December crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange moved up 25 cents to US$97.11 a barrel after sliding $1.44 Wednesday on data showing a much higher than expected buildup in U.S. inventories last week. The energy sector was ahead 0.88 per cent.

Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX:CVE) reported its third-quarter operating earnings were $313 million, or 41 cents per share, missing estimates of 48 cents a share. But operating cash flow from oil production was up 40 per cent to $915 million, thanks to higher output and higher realized prices. Its shares added 14 cents to C$30.84.

The telecom sector was the weakest group, down 1.17 per cent as Rogers Communications’ (TSX:RCI.B) said that third-quarter adjusted net income was up one per cent from last year, rising to $501 million or 97 cents a share, a penny ahead of expectations. But operating revenue was slightly below estimates, growing two per cent to $3.22 billion and its shares declined $1.25 to $45.83.

A major loser on the TSX was Wi-LAN Inc. (TSX:WIN). Its stock plunged 92 cents, or 22.55 per cent, to $3.16 after a jury in Texas ruled Thursday against the Ottawa-based company in its patent infringement case against Apple Inc. Wi-LAN has licensed its intellectual property to more than 270 companies worldwide that are involved in the manufacture or sale of a wide range of communication and consumer electronics products.

HARVEST: Record yields expected “Every direction I look, I can see a bag or two in the distance, and they’re not all mine.”

Output in North America has rebounded after drought last year cut U.S. corn production by 13 percent and soybeans by 2.6 percent.

Hail and adverse weather in 2012 reduced Canada’s canola crop by 5.1 percent, and wheat and barley yields fell.

While planting in western Canada was delayed this year because of excess rain and cool weather, crops progressed as the weather improved.

Wheat yields will be a record 3.23 tons per hectare, up 13 percent from last year; barley yields will jump 27 percent; and canola fields will produce 2.07 tons per hectare, up 31 percent from 2012, government data show.

“No one anticipated the size of the crop that we’ve actually got,” which may take more than a year to market, said Brent Watchorn, executive vicepresident of marketing for Winnipegbased grain handler Richardson International.

Export demand may soak up some of the surplus and help limit price declines. Canada will ship 20.5 million tons of its wheat crop to foreign buyers in the current crop year, the most since 1995, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Canola sales will jump 10 percent to 8 million tons, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada said Oct. 16.

Canola futures probably will rise to C$505 by the end of March, fueled by increased export demand, said Terry Reilly, a senior commodity analyst for Futures International in Chicago.

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says 511,900 people were getting regular employment insurance benefits in August, up 1.5 per cent, or 7,800, from July.

may gain 12 percent on demand from China, Japan and Mexico, said Ken Campbell, a vice president of North American Softseed Crushing for Decatur, Illinois-based processor ArcherDaniels-Midland Co. Farmers with storage may be reluctant sellers, and grain buyers may be eager to restock inventories depleted by last year’s smaller crops, Richardson’s Watchorn said. Wheat reserves before this year’s harvest tumbled to a five-year low of 5.057 million tons, down 15 percent from a year earlier, and canola inventories fell 14 percent to 608,000 tons, Statistics Canada said Sept. 6.

A bumper crop in Canada will help global wheat output jump by 5.8 percent to 692.6 million tons, the most ever, in the 12 months that began July 1, the International Grains Council said on Sept. 26, boosting its forecast from a month earlier by 2 million tons.

The council predicted corn production will rise 9.3 percent to a record 943.2 million tons.

The prospect of ample world supplies has kept hedge funds and other large speculators betting on a drop in wheat prices for the past nine months.

Their net-short position on Sept.

27 was 35,000 futures and options contracts, while corn holdings were the most-bearish since the data began in 2006, at 126,345 contracts, according to the most-recent report from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Data was suspended this month because of a partial U.S. government shutdown.

Wheat futures in Chicago will drop to $6.35 in the fourth quarter as output grows in Argentina, Australia and the Black Sea region, Rabobank analysts including Luke Chandler said in an Oct. 2 report.

Fix marriage before it’s a mess Dear Annie: I am a 44-year-old woman in a quandary. I have been married for 21 years to a good man who is nine years my senior.

He is supportive and affectionate. Most women would be satisfied. He plays the lottery more often than we can afford, but other than that, he’s a kind man. He is also a terrific, loving father to our two teenage boys.

Here’s my problem: Six months ago, I got in touch with my first young love through Facebook.

We became comfortable chatting and texting. We eventually met face to face, and there was an instant attraction. We now text daily and talk on the phone at least once a week. We also get together once a month to go hiking.

We have hugged and kissed, MITCHELL but haven’t had sex. & SUGAR He feels that would be crossing a line that could never be erased. But we are both slowly giving in to our desire for each other. Our marriages are at a crossroads.

Neither of us is intimate with our spouse.

I love my husband, but I am not in love with him and haven’t been for years. I would, of course, wait for my sons to go off to college before changing my life. Do you have any advice for me? — In Love With Another Man Dear In Love: Imagine your husband reconnecting with an old flame and deciding to leave you because you aren’t exciting anymore.

Wouldn’t you want the opportunity to discuss it?

To point out how it would hurt the children? To help him understand that 21 years together should mean something?

We can assure you that six months of playing kissy-face is not the same as a day-to-day marriage.

It’s easy to put effort and romance into a fling and

believe it’s going to be like that forever.

We understand that you are bored, but this is disrespectful to your marriage and your husband.

Get counselling. See whether you can fix what’s making you unhappy before you make a mess of several lives, including your own.

Dear Annie: Could you please educate people about the dangers of tossing their babies and toddlers up in the air? — Father of Five Dear Dad: Forceful or violent shaking, bouncing and tossing can cause brain or spinal damage in in-

fants. This is known as shaken baby syndrome. However, very gentle tossing (less than a foot in the air) is usually safe, provided you don’t drop the child or hit his head on the ceiling or a light fixture, which happens more often than you might think.

Pediatricians are divided on what age is OK, but the more conservative say to wait until the child is at least 2 years old.

NEW YORK — Her body weak, her voice rich and strong, Maya Angelou sang, lectured and reminisced as she accepted a lifetime achievement award on Thursday night from the Norman Mailer Center.

The 85-year-old author, poet, dancer and actress was honoured during a benefit gala at the New York Public Library, the annual gathering organized by the Mailer Center and writers colony.

Seated in a wheelchair, she was a vivid presence in dark glasses and a sparkling black dress as she marveled that a girl from a segregated Arkansas village could grow up to become a literary star.

“Imagine it,” she said, “a town so prejudiced black people couldn’t even eat vanilla ice cream.”

Angelou was introduced by her former editor at Random House, Robert Loomis, and she praised him for talking her into writing her breakthrough memoir, the million-selling I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

The key was suggesting to her that the book might be too hard to write.

The people who knew her best, she explained, understood that “if you want to get Maya Angelou to do so something, tell her she can’t.”

Angelou, a longtime resident of North Carolina, will be back in Manhattan next month to collect an honourary National Book Award medal.

Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Junot Diaz and the late author-journalist Michael Hastings also received prizes Thursday. Hastings’ widow, Elise, teared up as she accepted a journalism award on behalf of her husband, who died in a car accident last summer at age 33.

She recalled that Hastings, best known for a Rolling Stone story about the U.S. war in Afghanistan that led to the resignation of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, felt a kinship with the brilliant and troublesome Mailer.

When the couple fought, she said, he would point out that in “comparison to Mailer he was a great husband,” a reference to a notorious incident in which Mailer stabbed his wife.

Hastings was a “dissident, a cynical idealist and a breathtaking writer,” she said.

The dinner event was the fifth gala for the Mailer centre, named for the celebrated author who died in 2007 and dedicated to help-

ing writers “across all genres who seek artful ways to express themselves and provoke meaningful discussion

Dramedy a ‘real slice of life’

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

Yes, there’s a cast of chummy women in Central Alberta Theatre’s next play Steel Magnolias — and the characters laugh and cry.

But don’t compare it to a chick flick, said director Albertus Koett.

“I am not a fan of the term,” added Koett, who doesn’t like marginalizing a story that’s essentially about human beings. “It’s about people and how they relate to each other, about their real motivations and hopes and dreams. It’s a real slice of life.”

Steel Magnolias, a dramedy by Robert Harling, opens on Friday, Nov. 1, at City Centre Stage in downtown Red Deer.

The play that was turned into a 1989 all-star movie (with Julia Roberts, Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton, etc.) is about the bond that exists

STEEL MAGNOLIAS What: Central Alberta Theatre presents Steel Magnolias, a dramedy by Robert Harling When: 7:30 p.m., Nov. 1 to 16 (2 p.m. Sunday matinees) Where: City Centre Stage, Red Deer Tickets: $31.80 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre

among a group of women living in northwest Louisiana.

Through the course of four scenes that all take place in Truvy’s beauty parlour, the characters experience joys, tragedies and everything in between.

As the title suggests, the audience will find that the delicate-as-magnolias females are by the end

tough as steel.

Koett believes that the 1987 play has survived many stagings (including Japanese, Swedish, Irish and African-American versions) because the six women, who range in age from early 20s to mid-70s, deal with very relatable issues in their personal lives.

Even upon his first script reading, he noticed “the characters really jump off the page and I started to like them and enjoyed their relationships.”

When the play opens all is sunshine as Shelby, the youngest, prepares for her wedding to Jackson. But as the plot moves through the next three years, Shelby’s mother, M’Lynn, has to cope with her daughter’s worsening health problems.

Clairee, the widow of the town’s former mayor, must learn to adapt to life on her own, while Ouiser, the community curmudgeon, deals with fallout from her own negative attitude.

Bad Grandpa packs a plot, but he is still a Jackass Bad Grandpa 1.5 stars (out of four) Rated: 14A

BY LINDA BARNARD ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES There’s an unexpected guest along for Jackassbranded gross-out comedy Bad Grandpa: a plot.

The usual penis-mulching and projectile-pooping shenanigans captured on hidden cameras, the better to share the looks of horrified disbelief from unsuspecting observers, remain.

But for the fourth Jackass movie, Johnny Knoxville and his band of pranking yahoos have ventured into new territory by hanging typically random comic bits and half-baked sketches on a flimsy story. They’ve also swapped the franchise’s trademark stunts, designed to test the pain threshold of the cast, for situational send-ups and various examples of grossity.

Knoxville, unrecognizable in heavy makeup, stars as 86-year-old Irving Zisman, a horny curmudgeon reluctantly tasked with taking eight-year-old grandson Billy (Jackson Nicoll) on a cross-country road trip to deposit him with his absentee dad.

Also along for the ride — albeit in the trunk — are the remains of Irving’s late wife, Ellie.

The earliest gags are the best, including a laughout-loud bit involving a funeral home and a traumatized choir. And the outtakes over the closing credits are worth sticking around for, if you have nothing better to do.

The remaining hour or so is a lowbrow pastiche of gags, some of which creakily date back to Candid Camera days — among them, trying to ship a kid in a wardrobe box and trashing the champagne pyramid

Johnny Knoxville, unrecognizable in heavy makeup, stars as 86-year-old Irving Zisman, a horny curmudgeon reluctantly tasked with taking eight-year-old grandson Billy (Jackson Nicoll) on a cross-country road trip to deposit him with his absentee dad.

At the at a wedding reception. The bulk of the rest is more the stuff of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat and Bruno, revolving around Irving’s failed attempts to make time with women, including crashing a black, all-male, strip review that ends with plenty of screen time for grandpa’s droopy prosthetic scrotum.

Young Nicoll (Fun Size, The Fighter), with his cherubic chubby cheeks and deadpan delivery, is a bud-

ding comic talent who may regret agreeing to appear in drag for a romp at a kiddie beauty pageant (think Little Miss Sunshine on acid).

But he’s a game foil for Knoxville’s grandpa, working some of the movie’s best lines while showing a talent for delivery, especially in a series of waitingroom encounters where he confides in one woman that his mommy’s breath is bad because “she smokes so much crack.”

The filmmakers would have us believe we’re watching unscripted reactions to surprise situations but on several occasions, it all appears as phony as the stretchy rubber penis grandpa gets stuck in a vending machine. A scene involving menacing, childprotecting bikers is the most obvious of the lot.

Fans of the MTV series and related flicks will be quite entertained by this latest extrusion from the Jackass factory. But like the lime-green bingo dabber contents Irving drinks down to the horror of his seatmates, it’s an acquired taste.

Clooney’s expected Oscar contender Monuments Men pushed to 2014 NEW YORK — George Clooney’s Second World War drama The Monuments Men is being pushed to 2014 and out of the fall awards season.

A spokesman for Sony Pictures said Wednesday that the film will now be released in the first quarter of next year, instead of its planned release date of Dec. 18. The Monuments Men, which Clooney directed, co-wrote and stars in, had been expected to be a top Oscar contender.

The film could still compete for awards next year, but the early-in-the-year positioning suggests Sony doesn’t expect it to. Sony said the film is being delayed so Clooney can finish the film’s extensive visual effects.

The film is about a Second World War platoon whose mission is to rescue artworks from the Nazis.

Sherlock back on PBS in January, pairing with Downton Abbey LOS ANGELES — PBS says the Sherlock series with Benedict Cumberbatch will return in January, paired with Downton Abbey.

Season three of the modern Sherlock Holmes mystery series will begin Sunday, Jan. 19, PBS said Wednesday. It was previously announced that the on fourth season of Downton Abbey will debut Sunday, Jan 5.

Although the latest edition of hit period drama Downton already is under way in Britain, PBS said it has scheduled Sherlock closer to its U.K. run. The British air date has yet to be announced.

Downton Abbey, about the lives and loves of landed gentry and their servants, will be preceded by a Dec. 1 special, Return to Downton Abbey. Hosted by Susan Sarandon, it will offer a look at past seasons and a peek at the one ahead.

Other returning U.K. dramas include Call the Midwife and Mr. Selfridge starring Jeremy Piven, both debuting Sunday, March 30, and The Bletchley Circle on April 13.

A lineup of science and nature programming for April includes a three-part special with the working title Inside Animal Minds, debuting April 9 on Nova.

Fran Slubik’s 1993 watercolour on paper piece entitled Parallel Thoughts is one of many works by various artists currently on exhibit at the Kiwanis Gallery in the downtown branch of the Red Deer Public Library.

Jian Ghomeshi, center, interviews Richard Ayoade, left, and Jesse Eisenberg. Q is heard daily on American public radio stations.

Canadian’s Q score is up on U.S. radio

BY REBECCA RITZEL ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES TORONTO — It’s just before 9 a.m. on a Friday morning, and one of Canada’s most recognizable hosts looks uncharacteristically tired, and a touch nervous. Jian Ghomeshi has spent the past two days glad-handing at a public radio conference in Atlanta, and he was out late the previous night at a comedy show featuring his second guest of the day, actress Janeane Garofalo. Now he’s in the studio, dressed sharply in a blazer with a pocket square and white Diesel V-neck T-shirt. Slight dark circles under his eyes betray Thursday’s travels and the late night.

Ghomeshi is ready. But Guest No. 1 is not.

“Have we got KT?” Ghomeshi asks his producers, speaking into his microphone but looking through the control room window. On the other side, five men in torn jeans, flannels and snap shirts are shuffling between computer monitors and soundboards.

“I guess she’s running a little later than usual,” says Alain Derbez, one of Ghomeshi’s longtime producers. “She’s in the green room, sorting herself out.” KT is KT Tunstall, the Scottish folk singer who has just released a critically acclaimed album. This is only Day 1 of her 29-day North American tour, but 9 a.m. is early for rock stars. She straggles into the studio and straps on her guitar, slightly dazed yet with thick cat-eye liner perfectly applied. There’s no time to say hi, so she and Ghomeshi exchange greetings on-air. It’s 9:06, and here in Toronto, it’s time to record the most popular new arts and culture radio show in America.

Q is the simple, one-letter title for Ghomeshi’s variety show. In less than three years, it’s rocketed from being on zero American public radio stations to airing daily on 160. The show is a proud export of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., where since 2008 the program has aired across Canada from 9 to 10:30 a.m. and repeated in the evenings. In 2010, Public Radio International began syndicating the show in the United States. The first four stations that signed on included two in Kentucky, a surprise for PRI executives. Three years later, Q can still be heard in Louisville, as well as in major markets such as Boston, Chicago, New York and Washington.

“The time was right for us to rejuvenate our Friday nights,” said Mark McDonald, D.C. station WAMU’s programming director. Q is “one of those shows that has a vibrancy and energy to it. Public radio needs more of a sense of humor, and better arts and culture coverage. Q provides that.”

It seems many other station managers agree. Julia Yager, PRI’s senior vice president, called the show “one of the fastest growing in recent history.” PRI

MAGNOLIAS: Laughter and tears Truvy, who owns the hair salon, struggles with her children leaving the nest. And Annelle, a young beautician, faces marital problems with a husband who’s on the lam.

The audience “will witness the strength and togetherness of this group, and what this place means to them, and how (the characters) are coming togeth-

is not affiliated with Washington-based NPR, and Yager pointedly suggested that Q is popular because public radio stations are looking for more than just news programming, and for more diverse perspectives. Ghomeshi — a Canadian born in London who is of Persian descent — is filling several voids on the American airwaves, including one for an international mystery man.

“He has a personality that makes you think, ‘I want to know more about the person behind this voice,’” McDonald said. “His voice alone promotes a curiosity among our listeners.”

Ghomeshi is aware of his magnetism, for better or worse. He’s a Canadian celebrity whose dating misadventures haunt him online. (Ghomeshi wasn’t named in one embarrassing girl-tells-all blog post, which insisted he’s better interacting with women in his studio than on dates.)

People recognize him. On YouTube, Q posts get as many as 3 million hits. A one-hour version of the show also airs weekly on the CBC’s television network.

Ghomeshi is the face of the “Canada Reads” national literacy campaign. A two-story portrait of him dangles from CBC headquarters in Toronto. And the parody Twitter feed @Stats_Canada, which is devoted largely to jokes about hockey and maple syrup, recently posited that “65 per cent of Canadian babies say Ghomeshi as their first word.”

So he has many fans. But that doesn’t mean Canadians expected their hometown Persian broadcaster to become popular in the United States.

“For those of us in Canada, Q has been around for a while. It’s a staple. It’s a well-known and well-respected show,” said Craig Silverman, a Canadian media consultant who teaches at the Poynter Institute, a U.S. media think tank. “But the idea that it would suddenly be across the border, and get traction so quickly? That’s definitely a surprise. . . . It would never occur to me that an interview show, originating in Canada, hosted by a guy named Jian Ghomeshi, would take root in the American South.”

Additional stations that added Q to their lineups this summer are in Upstate New York, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas. While Silverman can’t explain Ghomeshi’s appeal south of the Mason-Dixon line, he does respect him as an interviewer and believes there’s a market for a radio show that goes beyond a quick Q&A with writers, actors and musicians.

“What Q has going for it is that it offers really indepth interviews,” Silverman said. “Jian really does his homework, and manages to do a fairly long interview, that is usually interesting and usually allows new things to surface. He’s doesn’t come to the table with boilerplate questions, and that is really hard to do.” er to support each other,” said Koett, who enjoyed working on the production.

The cast includes such CAT veterans as Angel Paulsen as M’Lynn and Vicki Dykes as Ouiser. As well, Lindsay Thurber drama teacher Trina Penner appears as Truvy, and RDC theatre alum Tori Grebinski portrays Annelle.

The actors are doing their own research into Louisiana-speak, but the script helps because of the way lines are phrased, said Koett.

The setting will remain mid-1980s. According to Koett, this means big hair, bigger shoulder pads, lots of neon colours and leggings. The production is also borrowing an older

NEW YORK — The best competition show on television stars 11-year-olds.

You may think that a show like MasterChef Junior might not be for you. After all, reality shows starring children can be exploitative and painful to watch.

Even on competition shows, where it’s a kid’s talent, not her private life, on display, things can get uncomfortable, as when 13-year-old Rachel Crow was eliminated on The X Factor and broke down screaming “Mommy, you promised! You promised me!” The toddlers on Jon & Kate Plus 8 may not remember being on TV, but they will remember that TV destroyed their parents’ marriage. And though I love her show, while Honey Boo Boo is having a great time hamming it up for the camera now, she may feel differently when she’s 14 and can Google herself — and so can all her classmates.

But as soon as I started watching Fox’s MasterChef Junior, which airs on Friday nights and features prodigy cooks ages 8 to 13, my reservations evaporated. Like the Scripps National Spelling Bee, MasterChef Junior is a celebration of talent, precocity, merit, obsession and, above all, losing. Watching, you may wish you could sear a fillet as well as these kids — probably, you cannot — but you will wish even more that you could once again be strong and brave and 11, when losing hurt so bad — but only for about 11 seconds. Sure, there are tears on MasterChef Junior , but so what? Kids cry all the time with or without the famously fierce Gordon Ramsay’s help.

MasterChef Junior starts with the essential ingredient for any successful competition show, from Project Runway to RuPaul’s Drag Race: talent. The 24 contestants, quickly whittled down to 12, know how to sauté and braise and brown and plate. They can handle vegetables and meats and fishes and sauces and knives. Their expertise is, of course, an outgrowth of our feverish foodie culture, but their palates tend to be more sophisticated than tragically hip. If they don’t appear to eat regular kid food, they eschew the worst clichés of contemporary restaurants. You won’t see ramps, truffles or foams, though they do utilize that stalwart of contemporary cuisine, kale.

Like all engaging reality TV stars, the junior chefs are unburdened by self-consciousness, but because they are preteens, this is age-appropriate and not a manifestation of narcissistic personality disorder.

They have endearing personalities without all the triangulation and effort that goes into being a “personality.”

The mini-chefs face adult-sized challenges — offal, beef Wellington — but the show’s great strength is that it does not treat them quite like adults. Ramsay, who is clearly comfortable with kids, has dialed back the screaming. He is serious and occasionally stern, but fundamentally kind. He doesn’t yell, and he doesn’t condescend. When Sofia falls wildly behind, he rolls up his sleeves and teaches her how to cream butter. When another contestant’s soufflé fails to rise, he gives her concrete advice — “Fill the mold half-full and it will cook twice as fast” — and tells her to go easy on herself. When something tastes bad, he says it simply, without berating: “This is like biting into a mouthful of salt. What a shame.” He seems like a great teacher: a secret softie, fair and demanding, who expects the best.

Losing is part of growing up, part of soccer and footraces, hide-and-seek and board games, part of having siblings and teachers and parents. Losing, as much as we can help it, is not a part of being an adult. These kids still know, better than most adults, that the fun part is playing the game.

Three American states fight over bragging rights to 1st flight

Top Iranian negotiator to meet with UN nuke chief

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Ohio and North Carolina drew a line on the tarmac Thursday in the fight over who was first to make a powered airplane flight.

Ohio license plates proclaim the state is the “Birthplace of Aviation” while North Carolina tags say the state is “First in Flight.”

Connecticut believes both are wrong.

There, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed a law this summer saying German-born aviator and Bridgeport, Conn., resident Gustave Whitehead was the first to make a powered flight.

The state went on record saying Whitehead made his flight in 1901 — two years before Wilbur and Orville Wright lifted off on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. The brothers were from Ohio.

On Thursday, Ohio state Rep. Rick Perales and North Carolina state Sen. Bill Cook held news conferences in their respective states to dispute Connecticut’s action and reassert that the Wright Brothers were first.

“It’s important to protect the truth,” said Cook, whose district includes the Outer Banks. “Nowadays it seems like there are an awful lot of people who are trying to rewrite history.”

“If the Connecticut legislature hadn’t changed the law to acknowledge Whitehead as the first in flight, I think we would have just let it slide,” said Perales, whose district includes Huffman Prairie, where the Wright Brothers had a hangar and tested their planes.

Recent interest in Whitehead came as a documentary aired in the spring by an Australian historian, John Brown, who reviewed photographs, documents and newspaper articles to make his determination that Whitehead was first.

File photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Picture provided by the Weisskopf Museum shows Aviation Pioneer Gustave Whitehead with daughter Rose in front of his “No. 21.”

Connecticut’s leading role in aviation has never been disputed, but in June 2013, Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed a bill insisting that the Connecticut aviator flew two years before the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk, N.C. After looking at the research, Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft, an influential industry publication, agreed.

In the summer, as Connecticut passed its measure, Tom Crouch, senior curator for aeronautics at the Smithsonian Institution, said Whitehead’s backers were “absolutely wrong.”

The Wrights’ plane is displayed at the National Air and Space Museum.

“Whitehead’s legend has spawned much speculation and hearsay,” Crouch said then. “People who have looked at this over the years ... almost unanimously reject the claim.”

But the Smithsonian is forbidden by a contract with the Wright brothers’ estate to admit that anyone else was the first to fly, in

part because they had previously fought off other claims.

Both lawmakers said the Whitehead claim is based on a grainy photo that is inconclusive.

Cook said what is supposed to be Whitehead’s plane in the photograph “looks like a frog to me.”

After their flight, the Wright brothers took their plane to Europe to show folks the newfangled flying technology but Whitehead did little, he said.

“He didn’t go anywhere or do anything,” Cook said. “If it was me, and I had invented a machine to fly and was the first one to do it, I would be out there crowing and telling everyone what was going on.”

Whitehead’s supporters said he had bad judgment when he tried to commercialize his design.

Court hearing will determine fate for boy who killed neo-Nazi dad

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTA ANA, Calif. — The blond boy was 10 when he put a gun to the head of his sleeping neo-Nazi father and pulled the trigger.

It was over in an instant for Jeff Hall, but sorting out the fate of his troubled son has been a 2 ½-year journey that approaches its final stage Friday in a hearing to determine where he’ll spend his teens and, possibly, his early adult years.

The judge hearing the case must decide not how to punish a child for second-degree murder, but how to rehabilitate someone who grew up in an abusive home, attacked his school teachers and was indoctrinated in the beliefs of white supremacy.

Attorneys have sparred for months over what is best for the boy.

He has been living in the county’s juvenile hall since the killing but spent about three months at a state youth detention centre where he was evaluated to see whether a placement there could serve his needs. Several people from the state are expected to testify at

the hearing.

In the meantime, the small child who scribbled on a notepad and looked bored during his trial as prosecutors displayed photos of his father’s bloodsplattered body has grown into a gangly teenager who is more focused than ever before.

He attends class, gets regular therapy and has made progress in controlling the violent outbursts that got him kicked out of almost every school he attended. He has even, with time, won the affection of the prosecutor who got him convicted.

“I have grown attached to him in an odd way. I enjoy watching him grow and change but I am convinced he has done better in a quasi-military penal environment,” said Deputy District Attorney Michael Soccio. “He seems to like it, he knows what the rules are and what is expected and he is treated with dignity.”

That’s why Soccio believes the boy, now 13, would do best in the state’s juvenile justice system, where he would go to school and live in a dorm-like setting at a high-security facility for young offenders, possibly until age 23.

VIENNA, Austria — A top nuclear negotiator from Tehran will meet with the head of the U.N.’s nuclear agency next week just hours before agency experts sit down with Iranian counterparts to renew their push for access to sites, people and documents believed linked to possible work on atomic arms, the agency said Thursday.

The talks between International Atomic Energy Agency specialists and Iranian negotiators have been set for nearly a month. But Iran’s decision to send Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was only announced Thursday.

Araghchi’s mission in Vienna was unclear, but he played a key role in nuclear talks last week with six world powers that negotiators from both sides described as encouraging after years of inconclusive meetings. Those talks in Geneva were focused on limiting Iranian nuclear programs that can be used both to generate power and make fissile warhead material.

A new round is scheduled Nov. 7-8. In Vienna, IAEA experts are looking to investigate suspicions that Iran for years worked secretly on developing a nuclear weapons program.

Iran has no nuclear arms and denies such work, saying all its atomic activities are peaceful. While the two talks are formally separate, they are linked by concerns over Iran’s nuclear aspirations, and progress in one may result in advances in the other.

The IAEA, in an email to The Associated Press, said Araghchi will meet with agency chief Yukiya Amano on Monday afternoon for about an hour.

Two hours later, agency officials seeking to restart their probe of suspicions that Tehran worked on the bomb will meet with Iranian officials, the IAEA said.

The Vienna talks have been deadlocked for nearly two years, with agency experts seeking an openended probe and Iran insisting that it be carefully scripted.

But officials from both sides spoke of a “constructive” meeting after the latest round last month. That assessment and reports of progress in Geneva are both seen as encouraging tests of pledges by Hassan Rouhani, Iran’s new centrist president, to reduce nuclear tensions.

As part of its probe, the agency is trying to gain access to a sector at Parchin, a sprawling military establishment southeast of Tehran. The agency suspects the site may have been used to test conventional explosive triggers meant to set off a nuclear blast.

Thousands flee abuses in Eritrea THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Alarming human rights abuses in Eritrea are spurring between 2,000 and 3,000 people to flee the east African nation every month, despite a “shoot-to-kill policy” targeting those attempting to leave, a U.N. investigator said Thursday.

Sheila Keetharuth, the U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in Eritrea, said the U.N. refugee agency was concerned about 305,723 Eritreans who have fled over the past decade.

“The most serious human rights violations are being committed” in Eritrea, Keetharuth said, including extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, extended incommunicado detention, torture, indefinite national service, and lack of freedom of expression, assembly, religious belief and movement.

She told the General Assembly’s human rights committee that “excessive militarization” in the country and indefinite national service for all Eritreans aged 18 to 50, often without adequate remuneration, “causes countless Eritreans to desert from their positions and flee the country.”
