Stettler couple come out swinging at robbers

STEMMING THE FLOW

MICHENER CENTRE

Family seeks to block patient transfer

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A Stettler couple married for nearly 40 years bravely tried to fight off a pair of knife- and gun-toting robbers on Tuesday. The woman escaped with minor knife cuts to her hands after the masked thugs came into the town’s Royal Hotel about 11 p.m. They demanded cash and fled after a brawl with the owners. The 67-year-old husband, who asked that his name not be used, said when they came demanding money he gave the robbers about $100 in cash from his pocket but they insisted he turn over float money from the bar. One grabbed more money and that’s when the owner grabbed a baseball bat he kept for defence and started swinging at the other man. “We were fighting for about five minutes,” he said. The knife-wielding man started waving his weapon, which ended up cutting his wife’s hands when she jumped in to help her husband. “She tried to hold them. They were pretty young guys. I could not handle two guys myself. “She tried helping me.” He managed to pull off one of the men’s masks before he fled. He looked to be about 18 years old, he said. His wife was taken to hospital by ambulance and treated for minor cuts. She is doing fine now and he also escaped without any serious injuries. “My body’s OK,” he said. The couple have owned the hotel for the past eight years. They have been married for 38 years.

ASKS COURT FOR OPINION ON CONSENT BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF The brother of a Michener Centre resident, concerned that a forced relocation would lead to his sibling’s premature death, will seek a court opinion next month as to whether his family can continue to block any move from the facility by withholding consent. Claiming the province does not have “equal or better facilities” in place to transfer Michener Centre residents into, Brian Reed said Thursday he believes he and his parents have a right to deny consent for any move of brother Bruce to a community group home. In an effort to legitimize that belief, he will appear at Red Deer’s Court of Queen’s Bench on Dec. 6 to obtain the court’s opinion on the matter. “I want the court to give its opinion on whether a guardian has an absolute right to withhold a move of an individual if he thinks anxiety, physical harm, or premature death could be the result of this move,” said Reed, of Lomond, a village southeast of Calgary. The action is available to guardians under the provincial Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act.

With the change of seasons comes a new round of water woes in the city. As frost enters the ground, pipes are subjected to shifts in the landscape and, inevitably, water will come bubbling to the surface. With water flowing down the alley, City of Red Deer Environmental Services employees Mark Gruenwald, Colin Molsberry, Darren Hilsendager and Chet Stotz work to close a water main in Waskasoo in the alley behind Moore Cres. at 45 Avenue.

Prison opts for sewage lagoons over regional system EFFLUENT WILL EVENTUALLY END UP IN THE RED DEER RIVER

Construction has begun to update the wastewater lagoon system at Bowden Institution, but the project is causing some worry about future protection of the Red Deer River. One new storage cell is being built on the northeast section of the federally-owned land where the prison sits, between Bowden and Innisfail. The lagoon capacity will increase by 133,000 cubic metres. Correctional Service of Canada proposed the expansion almost two years

ago to help accommodate an additional 200 inmates as the current lagoon had reached capacity. The news came as a disappointment to the South Red Deer Regional Wastewater Commission. The commission is responsible for the multimillion-dollar project that will transport wastewater from outlying communities through more than 100 km of pipe to the Red Deer treatment plant by the time it’s finished in 2015. “Lagoons eventually have to release. No matter what happens, if you release, it will eventually get to the Red Deer River,” said Dennis Cooper,

While connecting to the regional system is more expensive than lagoons, Cooper said it safeguards the river, which supplies water to more than 200,000 people. “Alberta Environment told us they want to keep the Red Deer River pristine. . . . They didn’t want to take a chance in contaminating the water supply.” Cooper said towns such as Olds, Bowden and Innisfail wanted to stay with their own sewage treatment plants, using lagoons, but Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development encouraged them to join

CRTC to report on pickand-pay TV services

FIRE CHIEF FOR A DAY

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Canadian Heritage Minister Shelly Glover says she has asked the federal broadcast regulator to prepare a report on so-called pickand-pay television services, making it clear that her government will pursue changes to stop cable and satellite providers from “bundling” television channels into all-or-nothing packages. Glover said the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission has until April 30 to deliver its report, including steps the agency plans to take toward unbundling TV services. “We are convinced that this is something that Canadian consumers want,” Glover said Thursday in Vancouver. “We want to give them choice and we have indicated very clearly that we will require television channels to be unbundled.” The move is part of a consumer-first strategy outlined in the recent throne speech, and Industry Minister James

City of Red Deer fire chief Jack MacDonald greets Justine Elliott, fire chief for a day, and her friend Leah McKenna as they arrive back at Fairview Elementary School in Red Deer Thursday afternoon. Elliott, a Grade 5 student at the school, won a recent fire prevention week contest for the chance of being the fire chief for a day. Elliott was able to bring her friend along as they were driven to the fire station in a pumper truck. Then it was back to the school for a pizza party with her classmates. Elliott also received a gift card for $150. This year, each school that entered also had a $50-gift-card winner drawn from student entries.

CLOSURE: Judicial review slated for March Under the act, if it is deemed that a guardian’s decision is not being “given effect” and health and safety is at risk, the court can “make any order the Court considers necessary and appropriate” including authorizing police to assist the guardian “in doing anything necessary to give effect to the decision.” Reed serves as the alternate guardian for his 51-year-old brother, with his elderly parents as the primary guardians. He said neither petitions nor shaming the government — regarding its March decision to shutter parts of Michener Centre and transition 123 residents from the facility into community group and seniors homes — have worked and he believes the court process could establish the primacy of the guardian’s wishes with respect to adults under their care. A separate judicial review of how the closure decision was made will take place in court in March. The Society of Parents and Friends of Michener Centre, a group made up of Michener guardians that filed the request for the review, hopes the process will force the government to detail how it diverted from its 2008 pledge in the How We Move Ahead report that no resident would be forced to leave Michener Centre.

Reed’s brother is severely disabled and has lived in Michener Centre for 46 years. Reed said his brother gets very anxious when away from his “comfort zone” at Michener and that if put in the care of unfamiliar, inexperienced caregivers, his health would be at risk. “He knows where he lives. He knows what his routine is. I sincerely believe, without any sort of doubt, that moving him, he would be gone within a year.” Reed said he could be willing to consent to a move for his brother if it were clear he would be going to a facility offering equal or better care. But he said the government has demonstrated through its transition team’s communication with his family that those places do not yet exist. He added that if his case is successful, he expects many other guardians would seek to go the same route to fight the closure edict. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

“CSC decided to expand the capacity of Bowden Institution’s three lagoon cells as the connection to the SRDWWS would not allow CSC to completely absolve itself of wastewater lagoon operation as originally anticipated.” Expanding the lagoon was “assessed as being more economically feasible and viable over the longterm,” she added. Alberta Environment says it “appreciates the concerns raised about potential environmental impacts” that may arise from the lagoon expansion. “However, (Alberta Environment) had worked with the federal government — providing them with provincial standards for lagoon wastewater treatment — to ensure that an adequate level of treatment is provided to alleviate any potential environmental impact,” said communications officer Ogho Ikhalo in an email. Ikhalo noted the penitentiary is a federal facility and Alberta has no jurisdiction over it. Meanwhile, the federally-run Drumheller Institution does not use lagoons to manage its wastewater and is tied into the town sewer system, said Rick Easton, spokesperson for the medium-security facility in Drumheller that has a similar prisoner capacity to Bowden. Jeff Campbell, the Correctional Service Canada communications manager for the Prairies region, said they are following the provincial lagoon design and operation requirements and have completed an environmental assessment for the Bowden expansion. Both the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Environment Canada were contacted for federal input, as well as the provincial government, he said.

LAGOONS: Expansion economically feasible “CSC reviewed a number of options including tying into a new regional wastewater system. An options analysis study was undertaken, which included the option to connect to the South Red Deer wastewater system (SRDWWS),” said Stocki in an email.

He’s already put the incident behind him and is getting on with business. “It’s old history,” he said. Stettler RCMP Sgt. Duncan Babchuk said based on descriptions of the suspects — who are both short — it is believed they are connected to robberies at the Stettler Fas Gas on Sept. 30 and Oct. 11. A knife was pulled out in those two robberies, but the latest incident saw a pistol and machete-style knife used. If they are the same culprits, they seem to be escalating their choice of weapons, “which makes it disturbing,” said Babchuk. One suspect is described as 1.52 to 1.6 metres (five-foot to five-foot-three) and was wearing a white jacket, black mask, black gloves and carrying a large knife. The second suspect is 1.6 to 1.68 metres (five-foot-three to five-foot six) and was wearing a grey hoodie, carrying a black bag, purple-striped hat, wearing a black mask and carrying a handgun.

Moore has said previously that government will force TV service providers to stop all-or-nothing packaging by cable and satellite companies. The broadcast regulator unveiled rules in 2011 aimed at preventing cable providers from restricting consumer choice, and last month launched consultations on the future of television. “Our government is asking for a complete and comprehensive picture from the CRTC of the impact of unbundling television channels. First and foremost, we want to know the impact on consumers,” Glover said. The examination will include the impacts on cost and multicultural programming, the minister said. Some providers have already moved in this direction, Glover said, citing Videotron in Quebec. Bell and Rogers have also taken steps, she said, “but not to the extent, of course, where it is a complete unbundling of services.” The changes extend to telecommunications, Glover told reporters, saying Moore made an announcement earlier Thursday in New Brunswick.

Man jailed for fatal school crash BY THE CANADIAN PRESS ST. PAUL — A man who killed a student when he crashed his minivan into a school while he was having a seizure has been handed a two-year sentence and banned from driving for life. But the judge also gave Richard Benson just over a year’s credit for time he has already spent in jail. Justice Paul Belzil said Benson wasn’t being punished for having a medical condition, but for driving when he shouldn’t have been. He noted that Benson, who had not been taking his medication for the seizures, has accepted full responsibility for the crash and is genuinely remorseful. Benson, 47, pleaded guilty earlier this year to criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. He told court in St. Paul on Thursday that he “never ever meant to go out and hurt any children. I’m truly sorry. Please forgive me.” The Crown had suggested that Benson be sentenced to three years and never be allowed to drive again. Prosecutor Jeff Rudiak argued a message needed to be sent to other drivers who have seizures and aren’t taking their medication. Benson admitted in a court document that he wasn’t supposed to be driving and rarely took prescribed medication to control his seizures. Defence lawyer Jason Conlin had pointed out that Benson didn’t remember the October 2012 crash and, when he learned what happened, wanted to trade places with the girl he killed. Conlin said Benson felt OK at times and didn’t think he needed to take his medication. Benson had just dropped two of his children off at different schools in St. Paul and stopped at the post office. He had a seizure as he was driving home down a back alley. His van bolted at about 80 km/h down more back lanes, crossed five streets and slammed into a window and wall at Racette Junior High School. It landed in a lower-level Grade 6 classroom and sent students and desks flying. Three children were pinned underneath the vehicle. Megan Wolitski, 11, died in hospital the next day.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The New Democrats say Alberta Health Services is planning to cut more than 177 nursing jobs across the province. AHS documents released by the NDP dated Nov. 4 suggest most of the people affected would be registered nurses who work in hospitals. “This document that we received shows cuts in all major hospitals in all cities across the province,” New Democrat health critic David Eggen said Thursday. He said such cuts would reduce the level of care people receive in the health system, especially in hospitals, and that more cuts are being planned. Eggen said it appears the government wants to replace registered nurses with licensed practical nurses and nurse’s aides, who both earn less money. “These nurses provide the backbone to care and reducing nursing positions on the wards means lower quality care and it means that we will end up in that tight spot again where we will be short of nurses in the future,” he said. Alberta Health Minister Fred Horne said the NDP’s claim of nursing job cuts is wrong. He said Alberta Health Services is trying to hire more full-time nurses. But Horne said union contracts stipulate that a part-time nurse must be laid off if AHS wants to change a position to full time. “AHS tells me that jobs will be available for all nurses currently in the system and as of today has 300 job postings for additional nurses,” Horne said. Premier Alison Redford said the province wants more nurses to work at new facilities, such as family care clinics. Redford said the health system is being restructured to run more effectively.

Classmate Angelina Luce suffered a brain injury, speech and eye problems. Maddie Guitard remains in a vegetative state and is not expected to recover, say court documents. The court documents also lay out how Benson has suffered from seizures since a severe beating in 2002 put him in a coma and left him with a metal plate in his head. When he applied for driver’s licences, he didn’t declare that he had health problems that might affect his ability to drive. The province requires peo-

ple to disclose such information. Doctors had also been writing prescriptions for medication, but the documents say Benson rarely filled them or took the pills he did get. His seizures had been increasing in recent years. He suffered one at home four days before the crash and refused to go a doctor. Benson “continued to drive while being aware of the danger or risk he posed to the lives or safety of others while operating a motor vehicle,” said the document.

More than a little tinkering AN EFFECTIVE SENATE REQUIRES A DEMOCRATIC MODEL BY BRIAN LEE CROWLEY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE The current expenses and ethics scandal buffeting the Senate and Prime Minister’s Office has inspired all manner of solutions for Canada’s upper chamber, from abolition to reform, depending on the predilections of the author. One idea in particular, however, is in vogue right now and it is worth taking a moment to see why this popularity is quite undeserved. This is the notion of continuing with an appointed Senate, but one where a better and non-partisan appointment process would result in a higher calibre of senator. This approach appeals particularly to people who are rightly completely disgusted by both the behaviour of some of the senators currently in the news and by the behaviour of political parties more generally. There is a palpable yearning in the land for a body of virtuous Platonic guardians, above the political fray, interested only in the good of the country. There is much discussion of arm’s length appointment processes, like those for Supreme Court judges and governors general, who would get the politics out of who

makes it into the red chamber. But as James Madison, one of the American founding fathers, once wisely remarked: “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” A Senate of disinterested angels may perhaps be a delightful fantasy, but it is a fantasy nonetheless. The reality is that no matter how senators are chosen, be it appointment, election or lottery, the resulting body will be composed of fallible human beings. We should, therefore, focus on crafting an institution that does not assume senators are improbably virtuous. Instead, it would aim to reduce the scope for bad behaviour while ensuring the transparency and democratic accountability that help keep people honest and focused on the good of the country, rather than their individual advantage. Indeed while everyone’s attention has been focused recently on the bad behaviour of a small minority of senators, the fact is that the Senate has been graced over the years with many members of the highest ethical, moral and intellectual achievements, including distinguished scientists, surgeons, athletes, public servants and business leaders. Yes, there has been dross as well,

but I think it is fair to say that the large majority of senators are distinguished people who take their job seriously, behave honourably and try to do the best they can for the country. An improved appointments process is, therefore, only likely to change the composition of the Senate on the margins. A few more good people and a few less scoundrels won’t overcome the serious flaws that disfigure the institution today. An improved appointments process would not overcome, for example, the absence of a democratic mandate for senators, who would still find themselves plunged into a legislative backwater. How could a chamber of appointed individuals, no matter how illustrious and distinguished, hope to resist successfully the will of the Commons based on the popular mandate? Any attempt to do so would quickly give rise to charges of a nascent and unaccountable aristocracy running roughshod over the popular will. And why would the best and the brightest respond to the call to serve the nation in the Senate unless they were to be given the power and authority to do the job? We must not forget, moreover, that unless the Supreme Court of Canada gives an unexpected ruling on the fed-

eral government’s reference on Senate reform, new appointees will continue to be named until age 75 and will never have to account to anyone for their use of the power granted them under the Constitution. I, at any rate, have concluded that there is no appointment process that could rescue the Senate from its current disgrace and impotence. We are a modern 21st century democracy. Political institutions draw their power and authority from democratic mandates and parties are an indispensable instrument of democracy. A non-partisan appointed Senate, no matter how angelic its members, could never hope to be anything but an impotent anachronism. Appointing higher calibre individuals is a non-solution to the Senate’s shortcomings. Creating an accountable democratically-elected institution with appropriate checks and balances ensures that when fallible people are given power, the chances of their abusing it are much reduced. That is the best we can hope for in a reformed Senate and it would be an achievement not to be belittled. Brian Lee Crowley is managing director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

Health-care wait lists Canada’s shame BY NADEEM ESMAIL AND BACCHUS BARUA SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE In most places, if you spend more, you receive more in goods or services. The glaring exception is Canada’s government-run health-care system. Consider this fact: Canada’s provinces spent $134 billion more on health care between 2004 and 2012 than needed to keep up with inflation and population growth. Despite that infusion of cash, wait times for medically necessary treatment in 2013 are about as long as ever. In fact, at 18.2 weeks (between referral from a general practitioner to treatment) national wait times this year are actually slightly longer than they were in 2004 (17.9 weeks), and almost twice as long as they were in 1993 (9.3 weeks). It doesn’t have to be this way. By tackling the policies that created the healthcare queues in the first place (lack of competition, lack of cost sharing, predominance of government), provincial governments can provide more timely access to health care without placing greater demands on taxpayers, all within the context of universality. What governments mustn’t do is keep going with things the way they are. Here’s why: the wait-times for medically necessary treatment in Canada are bad enough as standalone facts. The facts look even worse in an international perspective. Canada’s health expenditures as a share of the economy are, after accounting for our younger population, higher compared to every other developed nation with universal health insurance. Yet Canadians endure some of the longest delays for emergency care, primary care, specialist consultations, and

elective surgery in the developed world. Too often underappreciated is the destructive personal price paid by ill Canadians while they wait for treatment. Delayed access to medically necessary care can result in deterioration in the patient’s health — sometimes requiring more difficult treatments and resulting in a poorer prognosis by the time the individual finally gets to the front of the queue. In some cases, delay may even lead to permanent disability or death. If that isn’t a description of a failing health-care system, what is? No doubt some politicians and the usual defenders of the status-quo will respond to these depressing realities with the notion that ‘strategic’ investments in health care (i.e. throwing money at the problem) and better government management will solve all that ails us. Tragically, what they won’t admit is that none of this has really worked — Canadians are still faced with the same lengthy delays in spite of all the spending, managing, and limited reporting that have taken place. For the sake of everyone’s health and well-being, it’s time Canadians put a stop to the spend-more, wait-more cycle, and instead adopted European policies that could meaningfully and permanently improve access to care. A recent comprehensive review of wait times policies edited by Professor Steven Globerman found that competition in the provision of universal care with money following the patient leads to shorter wait times even in tax-funded/government-run health insurance schemes. A deeper look at the experiences of nations with universal health care, but without lengthy wait times (Belgium, France, Germany, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland)

finds that cost sharing, private competition in financing and delivery, and de-politicization of health-care insurance can lead to the virtual elimination of health-care queues. Private competition and money-follows-the-patient funding in these European nations produced shorter wait times with universality intact. Canada’s lengthy wait times result from a preponderance of government micromanagement in the financing and delivery of health care. Nowhere else in the developed world are citizens so dependent on government for access to medically necessary care — effectively rendering them prisoners to political wrangling and the bureaucratic will. Other nations deliver more timely universal access to care without spending more than we do. They do it by getting governments to focus on a useful and essential role — regulation and oversight, and then employ private competition and appropriate financial incentives to deliver more timely, higher quality care. Lengthy delays for treatment waste and destroy the lives of Canadians stricken with illness. Yet governments continue to fail Canadians by pouring money into a system that produces subpar results, and refusing to budge from the status quo. Better understanding and adopting policies that have improved timeliness within a universal construct would far better serve Canadians stricken with illness than another defence of the destructive status quo. Long waiting lists for access to medically necessary care are Canada’s shame, but they can be fixed. Nadeem Esmail is director of health policy studies at the Fraser Institute.

Ford sorry for oral sex slur USED DEROGATORY LANGUAGE ON LIVE TV TORONTO — In the space of just a few hours Thursday, Rob Ford spouted an obscenity on live TV, refused to apologize then did apologize, was scolded by Canada’s oldest football team for wearing its jersey while making the remarks, and begged the media to give his family privacy — his seldom-seenin-public wife by his side. The latest bizarreness involving Toronto’s besieged mayor set off another chorus of demands by politicians for him to leave — not just get help, but to resign for the good of the city. Ford stubbornly refused to do so, and the province’s premier said she would step in only if the council falls apart completely. The dizzying cascade of events began as Ford arrived at city hall — sporting a blue No. 12 Toronto Argonauts uniform with ‘Mayor Ford’ in white letters on the back. As TV cameras broadcast live, Ford used crude language to deny allegations he told a female aide he was going to have oral sex with her. A staffer told police Ford also said he had already had sex with the aide, court documents say. “It says that I wanted to eat her p----,” Ford said. “I’ve never said that in my life to her, I would never do that,” Ford said to astonished reporters.

“I’m happily married. I’ve got more than enough to eat at home.” Ford, 44, the father of two children, did say he was receiving support from a team of health-care professionals but refused to elaborate. Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong, who sponsored a motion Wednesday urging Ford to take a leave of absence, called the mayor’s language “completely unacceptable” and said it was high time he resigned. “He used the P-word in a very derogatory way,” Minnan-Wong said. “The mayor of our city should not be using language like that, he shouldn’t be speaking about women like that.” Initially, Ford stood by his vulgar comments. “If you’re offended, I’m not apologizing, because put yourself in my shoes if someone said that about your husband or your wife,” he shouted during a council session. According to sections of court documents released Wednesday, an ex-staffer told police an intoxicated Ford made the comments at a downtown restaurant on St. Patrick’s Day last year. The alleged incident was one of several in the document that reported questionable or bizarre behaviour by Ford: driving after guzzling vodka, sniffing cocaine, and apparently consorting with sex workers. Ford called the allegations outright lies. Just hours later, with his wife Renata nearby, the

Top court hears final plea to allow easy path to Senate reform OTTAWA — Don’t make it impossible to change Canada’s scandal-plagued Senate. That was the underlying message to Supreme Court justices Thursday as they wrapped up a historic hearing that will decide how — or if — the muchmaligned upper house can be reformed or abolished. In the final word at the three-day hearing, the federal government urged the justices to accept its argument that modest reforms — to allow for nonbinding elections and term limits for senators — can be implemented easily by Ottawa alone, without any input from the provinces. “This is not a narrow-minded, literal approach (to the Constitution), as has been repeatedly said (by provinces) in these proceedings,” federal counsel Robert Frater insisted. “It is a comprehensive approach that should permit meaningful action on reform to the Senate instead of another 135 more years of talk.” His argument got partial support earlier Thursday from one of two lawyers appointed by the court to provide independent advice on the matter. John Hunter said the federal government alone should be able to create a process to allow consulta-

tive elections for senators, provided that the results are not binding and the prime minister remains free to appoint whomever he or she chooses. He argued that this would simply amount to another form of consultation for the prime minister, who can already consult whomever he or she pleases about Senate appointments. “The reality is that those who would oppose this would really say the prime minister can get sources of guidance from any source he or she wishes. He can talk to his friends, political party activists, he can read petitions, he can use a ouija board,” Hunter said. “The only thing he can’t do is consult the electorate and that’s a rather remarkable proposition.” The other lawyer appointed by the court, Daniel Jutras, disagreed. He joined the vast majority of provinces in arguing that creation of a Senate election process would require a constitutional amendment supported by at least seven provinces with 50 per cent of the population. Jutras and Hunter were in sync on other issues before the court. They both sided with most provinces in arguing that 7-50 approval would be needed to impose term limits on senators and that unanimous provincial consent would be necessary to abolish the red chamber entirely.

Man who killed his kids, then walked free, faces renewed murder charges

BRIEFS

Serial killer gets 20 years for killing two aboriginal women in Manitoba WINNIPEG — A serial killer who was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in jail for killing two aboriginal women apologized to the victims’ families and blamed drugs for turning him into a “monster.” Shawn Lamb, who was originally charged with second-degree murder in the deaths of Carolyn Sinclair and Lorna Blacksmith, pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter in a Winnipeg courtroom. Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Rick Saull agreed to accept the 20 years sentence that was recommended by both the Crown and defence. Lamb, who is 54, can apply for parole in nine years. “He may never see the outside of a prison,” Saull said in his judgement. “A lengthy, expensive trial would require the families to endure another year or two of anguish with the very real possibility of an acquittal.” The families of the two women sobbed as the Crown read out the gruesome facts of the case. Many left or were escorted out by security after yelling and swearing at Lamb. “I can stand here for whatever life I have left to live and apologize. It’s not going to do any good,” Lamb told the court. “An apology is nothing. It doesn’t change what happened . . . I did the best that I could do to try to help the families have some answers, some closure. It’s just a terrible thing.” Amanda Sinclair, Carolyn’s sister, agreed the apology meant nothing. “It was just like sticking a knife in my back,” she said. “This was just as painful as having to sit through a trial.”

SAINT-JEROME, Que. — A former Quebec doctor who eventually walked free after admitting to killing his kids returned to court Thursday to face renewed first-degree murder charges in their slayings. Guy Turcotte, his hands cuffed and head bowed, shuffled into a courtroom one day after the Quebec Court of Appeal ordered a new trial in the 2009 stabbing deaths of Anne-Sophie, 3, and Olivier, 5. The ex-cardiologist’s appearance came more than two years after a jury found him not criminally responsible in their deaths, a controversial verdict that made him a well-known figure in the province and enraged many Quebecers.

Canada ponders sending helicopters to Philippines BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Canadian Forces are considering sending a detachment of three to six Griffon helicopters to help with relief efforts in the Philippines in the wake of typhoon Haiyan. Officials say teams on the ground on the typhoonravaged island of Panay are assessing the situation and the need for helicopters. A final decision will be made by an inter-departmental task force in Ottawa, but the military is preparing helicopters for the mission if it’s decided to send them. “We’re just waiting for that decision, but concurrently we are pre-positioning equipment such that we can get those helicopters in timely flow to the task force commander where he needs them for inter-theatre mobility,” Col. Steve Kelsey said during a briefing in Ottawa. The Forces are lining up CH-146 Griffon helicopters, a versatile, combat-capable chopper that can perform a variety of tasks including search and rescue and reconnaissance. The Canadian effort now is based at the airport in Iloilo, but elements of the DART are preparing to move north to the city of Roxas. The team’s commanding officer on the ground, Lt.Col. Walter Taylor, said the area is ringed by some smaller islands that would be easier to reach with helicopters. The Canadian team includes medical personnel, but military officials say the initial work will fall to engineers who can open roads, repair basic infrastructure and provide clean drinking water.

mayor apologized for what he called his impulsive and “graphic” remarks blamed on months of mostly self-inflicted stress, culminating in the latest revelations he said pushed him over the line. “When you attack my integrity as a father and as a husband, I see red,” he said. As media trailed her into the city hall basement, Renata Ford came to his defence, saying he did not need to step down, because “that’s why we have elections.” The mayor, who has admitted to smoking crack cocaine and being in drunken stupors in public, railed against suggestions he had taken a woman suspected to be a prostitute to city hall. He also denied his company at the restaurant was a paid escort named Alana. “I don’t appreciate people calling Alana a prostitute,” said Ford, who called her a friend. “I can’t put up with it any more. Litigation will be starting shortly.” Ford named three former staffers: chief of staff Mark Towhey, special assistant Isaac Ransom, and spokesman George Christopoulos. He also said he would sue a waiter who — according to the documents — told police he saw Ford and a woman snorting cocaine in a restaurant backroom. Noted libel lawyer Julian Porter said a defamation suit would have little chance of success because people are protected when they talk to police, as long as they don’t maliciously invent anything.

Scores buried in mass grave SOME PROGRESS BEING MADE IN PROVIDING FOOD, WATER AND MEDICAL AID BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TACLOBAN, Philippines — The air was thick with the stench of decay as sweating workers lowered the plastic coffins one by one into a grave the size of an Olympic swimming pool. Scores of unidentified bodies were interred together Thursday in a hillside cemetery without any ritual — the first mass burial in this city shattered by last week’s Typhoon Haiyan. Six days after the disaster, some progress was being made in providing food, water and medical aid to the half-million people displaced in the Philippines. Massive bottlenecks blocking the distribution of international assistance have begun to clear. Soldiers on trucks gave out rice and water, and chainsaw-wielding teams cut debris from blocked roads to clear the way for relief trucks in Tacloban, the capital of the hardest-hit Leyte province. Thousands of people continued to swarm Tacloban’s damaged airport, desperate to leave or to get treatment at a makeshift medical centre. “We know the gravity of our countrymen’s suffering, and we know that, now more than ever, all of us are called on to do whatever we can to help alleviate our countrymen’s suffering,” President Benigno S. Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Aquino III said in a statement. Authorities say 2,357 people have been confirmed Filipino workers fill a large grave with body bags at the Basper public cemetery in the typhoon-hit city of dead, a figure that is expected to rise, perhaps sig- Tacloban, Leyte province, Central Philippines on Thursday. nificantly, when information is collected from other areas of the disaster zone. With sweat rolling down their faces, John Cajipe, 31, and three teenage boys who work at the Tacloban cemetery placed the first body in the grave’s right-hand corner. The second body followed two minutes later, carefully placed alongside the first. And so on, until scores of coffins filled the 2-meter deep grave. A ritual to sprinkle holy water on the site is expected to be held Friday, one week after the typhoon struck. A portion of the femur was removed from each corpse by the National Bureau of Investigation. Technicians will extract DNA from each bit of bone to try to identify the dead, said Joseph David, crime photographer for the bureau. “I hope this is the last time I see something like this,” said Mayor Alfred Romualdez. “When I look at this, it just reminds me of what has happened from the day the storm hit until today.” The massive flow of international aid was bolstered by Thursday’s arrival of the USS George Washington in the Philippine Sea near the Gulf of Leyte. The aircraft carrier will set up a position off the coast of Samar Island to assess the damage and provide medical and water supplies, the 7th Fleet said in a statement. The carrier and its strike group together bring 21 helicopters to the area, which can help reach the most inaccessible parts of the disaster zone. The United Kingdom also is sending an aircraft carrier, the HMS Illustrious, with seven helicopters and facilities to produce fresh water, Britain’s Ministry of Defence said. It said the ship is expected to reach the area around Nov. 25. The U.S. already has a half-dozen other ships — including a destroyer and two huge supply vessels — in the area, along with two P-3 aircraft that are being used to survey the damage so that planners can assess where aid is most needed, the 7th Fleet said. “We are operating 247,” said Capt.

Hundreds of children rescued from porn ring: cops BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

PROJECT SPADE

TORONTO — At least 386 children have been rescued from sexual exploitation and hundreds of suspects arrested in a sweeping child pornography investigation that began with a Toronto man, police revealed Thursday. “It’s a first for the magnitude of the victims saved,” said Insp Joanna Beaven-Desjardins, of the force’s Sex Crimes Unit. “The amount of arrests internationally, also a first.” At least 348 people were arrested around the world as part of Project Spade, including 50 in Ontario and 58 from other parts of Canada. School teachers, doctors, nurses, pastors and foster parents are among those facing charges in the wide-ranging operation that can be traced back to a business operating out of Toronto’s west end, police said. “Its success has been extraordinary,” BeavenDesjardins said of the investigation which spanned more than 50 countries. “When we work together regardless of the borders that divide us, we can successfully track down those who not only prey on our most vulnerable but also those who profit from it.” The investigation was sparked in October 2010 when undercover officers made contact with a Toronto man on the Internet who was allegedly sharing child pornography online. The probe revealed a far-reaching web of child pornography which involved some of the most shocking abuse investigators had seen. Police allege Brian Way, 42, had been running an “exploitation movie, production and distribution company” called Azov Films since 2005, and had made more than $4 million from the business. Through his company, the man would allegedly contract people to create child porn videos involving kids, largely boys, be-

tween the ages of five and 12. Many of those videos were allegedly shot in Ukraine and Romania in apartments, dingy saunas and backyards. Police allege the videos were then distributed from Toronto — through the mail and the Internet — to customers around the world. Toronto authorities moved in to arrest Way in May 2011 and then, along with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, spent months re-creating a customer database. That information was shared with the RCMP and Interpol, which led to arrests of customers around the world and to the apprehension of those who allegedly created the videos. Way has been charged with 24 offences, including the instruction of a criminal organization, a charge which police said had been applied for the first time in Canada in relation to child pornography. Police are still looking for Way’s mother, Susan Waslov. Police say the sheer amount of images and videos seized in their investigation — 45 terabytes worth — was staggering. “This is equivalent to a stack of paper as tall as

1,500 CN Towers,” said Beaven-Desjardins. “Officers located hundreds of thousands of images and videos detailing horrific sexual acts against very young children, some of the worst that they have ever viewed.” Gerald O’Farrell, acting deputy chief inspector of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, provided an unflinching snapshot of some of those arrested in the investigation. They included a school employee who allegedly placed a hidden video camera in a student washroom, a youth baseball coach who pleaded guilty to making more than 500 child exploitation videos and a police officer, he said. “The investigations involving these customers span across all segments of society,” O’Farrell said. “The success of this investigation was identifying those who posed an immediate risk to children.” The Canada Centre for Child Protection commended the range of police forces that worked together on the international investigation but also issued a call Thursday for better safeguards against child abuse. “We are asking all organizations that serve children carefully examine if they can be doing more to prevent child abuse,” said Signy Arnason. “We are not powerless, it is in our control.”

Suicide bombing, other attacks against Shiites kill at least 41 BAGHDAD — A suicide attacker and twin bomb blasts on Thursday targeted Shiites marking a sombre religious ritual in Iraq, killing at least 41 people and wounding more than 100, officials said. The ritual, known as Ashoura, is observed every year over a 10-day period and has been marred previously by massive attacks by alQaida and other Sunni extremists who see Shiites as heretics. This year, the attacks come amid an escalating campaign of violence by insurgents seeking to thwart the Shiite-led government’s efforts to maintain security. The deadliest of Thursday’s attacks was in the town of al-Saadiyah, 140 kilometres northeast of Baghdad, where a suicide bomber struck a group of Shiites gathered for an Ashoura event. The explosion killed at least 32 people and wounded 75, two police officers said.

Seven elephants killed by train KOLKATA, India — A passenger train plowed into a herd of elephants in eastern India, killing seven, including two calves, as they lumbered across the tracks in a forest, authorities said. The crash was the worst of its kind in recent memory, said Hiten Burman, forestry minister in West Bengal. Ten other elephants were seriously injured. The train was travelling at 80 km/h through the Chapramari Forest when it struck the herd of 40 elephants crossing the tracks on Wednesday at dusk, Burman said. “The herd scattered, but returned to the railway tracks and stood there for quite some time before they were driven away by forest guards and railroad workers who rushed to the spot after the accident,” he said. Burman said railway authorities have ignored requests from his department to have trains reduce their speeds inside the elephant corridor in Jalpaiguri district, about 670 kilometres from Kolkata, the state capital.

Flames get Star-struck BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Stars 7 Flames 3 CALGARY — In the same city where Canada held it’s Olympic orientation camp in August, two talented forwards that were passed over made a loud statement for being included in the trip to the Sochi Games. Tyler Seguin had his first four-goal game while Jamie Benn had one goal and a career-high six points Thursday night as the Dallas Stars scored four straight goals in the second period to run away with a 7-3 victory over the Calgary Flames. “I actually texted Jamie, probably early August when the camp list came out,” said Seguin. “I didn’t know him too well but I texted him about it. Yeah, I think we both wanted to make a statement.” While it makes the odds longer, not being at the camp doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t get picked. Boston’s Patrice Bergeron is an example of a guy that was picked for the Olympic team in 2010 after not being at the camp. “There’s obviously so many good players in this league that didn’t get picked,” said Benn. “There’s obviously some pretty high talent at that camp in the summer. It is what it is. I just came in to camp this year with the focus of being the best player I can be.” Benn is off to a terrific start with 22 points on the season, two back of the NHL lead shared by Sidney Crosby and Alex Steen. “There was a point where Tyler and I started laughing at each other,” said Benn, who’s previous high for points in a

game was three. “You definitely don’t want to embarrass the other team but it’s just one of those nights where everything was clicking.” Joined on the Stars’ top line by rookie Valeri Nichushkin, the formidable Dallas trio was too quick, too skilled and just too elusive for the Flames, who were a step behind all night and could not contain them. Stars coach Lindy Ruff says the two should be opening some eyes when it comes to the prospects of playing for Team Canada. “You’d hope that they’re catching some attention. They’ve had a very good start for us and they’ve been leading our team offensively,” Ruff said. “Like most teams, you don’t often find one guy up in the standings, it’s usually two guys that work well together. Those two guys have had chemistry ever since camp.” Since the July 4 trade that saw Dallas acquire Seguin from Boston in a multi-player deal, the two have quickly become good friends. “Right from day one, we were shooting texts back and forth when we found out about the trade. I was definitely excited to have a player like him join our hockey club,” Benn said. “We’re living in the same building back home so we’re spending a lot of time together and that’s translating to chemistry on the ice.” Stephane Robidas and Ryan Garbutt also scored for Dallas (10-7-2). The Stars have won five of their last six and have reeled off five straight road victories. Goligoski had three assists.

Colts rally in second half to down Titans BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Indianapolis Colts running back Donald Brown is brought down by Tennessee Titans safety Michael Griffin in the first quarter of an NFL game Thursday, in Nashville, Tenn.

Colts 30 Titans 27 NASHVILLE — The Indianapolis Colts keep digging themselves into early holes — and proving they know how to come back and win. Donald Brown ran for two touchdowns, Andrew Luck added another and the Colts rallied yet again, this time beating the Tennessee Titans 30-27 on Thursday night. The Colts (7-3) trailed 14-0 in the first quarter and have been outscored 35-0 in the first quarters in their past three games — two of them victories. They also have trailed in six games after the first quarter this season. “At the end of the day winning is what matters,” Luck said. “We were fortunate in this game to survive our mistakes and have a chance to win. ... But we know that’s got to be fixed.” Adam Vinatieri kicked three field goals, including a 50-yarder, and Coby Fleener had a career-high eight catches for 107 yards to help the Colts bounce back quite nicely from a 38-8 home loss to St. Louis. They have yet to lose back-to-back games under coach Chuck Pagano and are 8-0 coming off a loss. “Obviously, starting out like that is something we’re all too familiar with,” Fleener said. “That’s something we have to work and get corrected.” The Colts are back in charge of the AFC South too, now having beaten all three divisional opponents on the road. “We’re not worried about that yet,” Luck said. “We’re worried about this next game.” The Titans (4-6) lost their second straight and fifth in six games, blowing the big lead. Chris Johnson ran for two touchdowns and 70 yards in the first quarter, but had only 16 yards after that. “We’ve got to find that winning formula, whatever it is,” Titans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. “We have to find a way to pull these games out at the end. It’s a tough locker room in there right now. That’s two in a row that kind of slipped away from us. Two big ones, two costly ones for us.” Fitzpatrick drove the Titans 80 yards in four plays, capping the drive with a 19-yard TD pass to Delanie

Walker with 1:54 left. But the Titans, just like they did in becoming the first team to lose to Jacksonville this season on Sunday, couldn’t execute an onside kick with the ball not even covering 10 yards before Colts linebacker Pat Angerer covered it up. The Colts had the ball less than 6 minutes in the first quarter and wound up holding the ball more than 32:23. They also outgained the Titans 366-340 after Tennessee opened with a 148-4 edge in total offence with its quick start. Indianapolis sealed the victory with an 11-play drive capped by Brown with an 11-yard TD with 3:01 left, and the Colts ran on 10 of the 11 plays for 60 yards. That was the Colts’ fourth drive of 11 plays or more, and Brown praised the maligned offensive line for a phenomenal job. So did Pagano, who said the linemen took it personally. “They had a point to prove,” Pagano said. Luck finished 23 of 36 for 232 yards passing. The Titans came out with the start they only wish they had Sunday losing to Jacksonville 29-27. Fitzpatrick did not turn the ball over once replacing Jake Locker, who’s out the rest of the season with a Lisfrac injury to his right foot. The Titans were up 17-6 at halftime and looked to be in control as the Colts had a mini-meltdown with three personal fouls including linebacker Erik Walden head-butting Delanie Walker after ripping the helmet off the Titans tight end. The Colts won their fourth straight and for the ninth time in 10 games over their divisional rival with Vinatieri’s 30-yard field goal as the first half expired helping settle the Colts down. That was the first of 20 straight points as they dominated in the third quarter holding the ball for more than 11 minutes in taking a 23-17 lead. They opened the third quarter with an 11-play drive where Luck completed all five of his passes for 42 yards, including two on third down. Brown capped the drive with a 7-yard TD. Then Devon Wylie, signed to the roster Tuesday for an injured Damian Williams at returner, ran into teammate Craig Stevens and fumbled on the kickoff for Tennessee.

MacTavish says Oilers on right track despite poor start BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Edmonton Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish told his players that he understands their frustration, is committed to head coach Dallas Eakins and is confident this rebuilding process in on the right track. One night after his team was shut out for the third straight game at home, MacTavish met with his players on Thursday. His message to them was that there are still positives to take out of the dismal start to the season, and that it’s still OK to have some fun. “I’ve got my thumb out there feeling the divide in the room,” he told the media after his meeting with players. “My basic message to them is that it’s OK at this particular point to come in (the dressing room) and enjoy yourself. It was important they hear from me how I feel and what I see. The effort is fine,

the improvement and coachability is better and I wanted to make sure they knew that.” Admitting he is a “bit surprised” by the team’s poor performance thus far, MacTavish said he told the players the process “as painful as it is, is a necessary step for us to get to where we’re going to be. “My core message is we understand the level of frustration. Do we want to be paralyzed by the frustration going forward, to throw our hands in the air and stop playing because we’re frustrated? Absolutely not. Do I see progress? Yes. Is there optimism? Absolutely.” The Oilers (4-14-2) are last in the Western Conference, are 1-8-1 in their last 10 games and have given up a league-worst 78 goals against. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2006, and baring a sudden turnover appear destined to miss post-season again.

Team captain Andrew Ference said part of MacTavish’s message was that the players have to remember there have been some positives this season. “Communication solves a lot of issues and honesty solves a lot of issues and that was a dose today,” Ference said. “It’s not trying to bury our heads in the sand and say the record is okay a it’s to pull some guys back from the one extreme that everything is wrong. It’s tough to remember there are positives.” Forward Sam Gagner said the general manager’s main message “was to focus on the right things and just stick with that. Today was an important day for us to take a step back and reassess what is going on.” The challenge now, MacTavish said, is not to do anything irrational that will hurt the team long-term. “Are there things I could do to im-

prove the team right now? Absolutely. Would it be the right thing? Doubtful. Would it penalize our ultimate objective of being a championship team? Probably.” MacTavish said he is convinced the team has a core of eight to 10 players who can make the Oilers competitive again and now is the time for management and coaches to build trust in that group. “That’s why it’s my responsibility to support these guys,” he said. “They’re going to be great players and they’re going to be Oilers and it’s important they feel that support from the coaching staff and from management.” He admitted his “self-satisfaction meter is not too high right now” because he didn’t realize that core group would need more support that he has provided.

THE ICE

Hard works pays off for Pawlenchuk

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

YOUNG REBELS FORWARD FLEW UNDER THE RADAR TO BECOME A SURPRISE ELITE 16-YEAR-OLD IN WHL AND EARNS PICK TO BE ON TEAM PACIFIC

Former Red Deer Rebels captain Adam Kambeitz concluded a five-year WHL career Adam last spring Kambeitz and is currently enrolled in the Open Studies program at the University of Calgary and playing for the Dinosaurs. Kambeitz cracked the Rebels roster at the age of 16 and played four full seasons in Red Deer before being dealt to the Saskatoon Blades in the fall of 2012. The Lethbridge native was dealt to Seattle after appearing in 33 games with the Blades and finished his fifth and final WHL season with the Thunderbirds. Kambeitz is currently second in U of C team scoring with 12 points (4-8) in 10 games. In 279 regular-season and playoff games with the Rebels, the left winger scored 47 goals and collected 103 points.

WHO’S HOT Portland Winterhawks LW Taylor Leier is riding a 10-game points streak. Since Oct. 23, the Taylor 19-year-old Leier Saskatoon product has accumulated 15 points, including 11 goals. Leier is seventh in league scoring with 29 points (16-13).

WHO’S A CLOSER

Red Deer Rebels forwards Adam Musil and Grayson Pawlenchuk were considered to be prospects of varying calibres at the time of the 2012 WHL bantam draft. A year and a half later the talented teammates are both among the elite 16-year-olds in the league, a fact that was verified Thursday when both were named to Team Pacific for the World Under 17 Hockey Challenge Dec. 29-Jan. 4 in Cape Breton, N.S. “Obviously, they’re both very good 16-year-old players,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter. “Adam has always had a high profile, everyone knew he was going to be one of the top picks in the bantam draft. “Pawly kind of flew under the radar screen and has basically developed into a firstround pick. He’s the guy the people at the (Team Pacific) summer selection camp were pleasantly surprised with. He stood out there and they liked him a lot.” Pawlenchuk, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2012 bantam draft, 74th overall and well back of sixth overall pick Musil, opened his rookie WHL season with seven points — including four goals — in seven games before suffering a broken elbow Oct. 4 at Moose Jaw. “I was happy with my start to the season, it was more than I was expecting,” he said Thursday, following a workout at CanPro. “I skated with some WHL and NHL and other pro players in Sherwood Park during the summer, which gave me a chance to get the feel for a higher level. “And just having the chance to come in and play this season got me pretty excited. Plus, I was on a good line with Bleacks (Conner Bleackley) and Bells (Matt Bellerive). Now I’m going to have the opportunity to represent Alberta and B.C. and be able to put on the Canadian jersey. It will be pretty special to do that.” However, the six-foot,

Red Deer Rebels’ 16-year-old Grayson Pawlenchuk has been flying under the radar since being drafted in 2012 and is now considered one of the top young players in the WHL which was affirmed with being picked to play for Team Pacific in the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. 180-pound left winger is still listed as week-to-week while recovering and rehabbing from the surgery that followed the injury, and Sutter insisted he won’t play in the U17 Challenge unless he’s ready to rejoin the Rebels by the second week of December. “If he’s not back with us by Dec. 10 or 12 he won’t be joining (Team Pacific),” said Sutter. “It’s a healing thing and the doctors have told us it could be anywhere from three to four or four and a half weeks before he’s ready to play. So that’s where it’s at. I’m not going to rush him back just so he can go

to the Under 17. If we put him back into our lineup too early he could easily get injured again. “It’s been a five-week process to this point with the surgery, the healing and the rehab. It’s a tremendous honour for him and Adam to be named to Team Pacific and something they should be proud of. Our team is certainly proud of them, but at the same time we have to look out for the interest of the player. If Grayson is healthy and playing, then he’ll be released to go. If not, he won’t be released.” The Ardrossan product is confident that he’ll be back in

action sooner than later. “It’s like a week-to-week thing,” said Pawlenchuk. “I’m starting to strengthen the elbow and I pretty much have full range of motion, so I don’t see it being that much longer. But it will be a few weeks. It will be up to the doctor I’m seeing and Jordan (Rebels athletic therapist Aube). “For sure, I want to get back for a couple of games before Christmas so I can get used to the speed again and be in game shape for the Under 17 Challenge.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

October and November. “Our schedule this season was very difficult in terms of marketing,” Dakers told Cleve Dheensaw of the Victoria Times Colonist. “We try to avoid it (too many early-season home games), but it happened to us this season. We’ve had about 50 per cent more home games over the first six weeks than we did last season. It’s an unfortunate scenario. But things will definitely pick up.” The situation across the rest of the league isn’t exactly rosy, either, with attendance down seven per cent from this time last season. Commissioner Ron Robison, while concerned, suggested history dictates that larger crowds come with colder weather. “We are concerned but quite confident,” he told Dheensaw. “It’s the same pattern as last year, when we finished stronger at the end of the season than when we started. “I believe we are going to experience a rebound when we get into the more traditional time for hockey. It takes a while. Interest in hockey increases as the season progresses. And we are going to see more promotional activities at the games.” WHL attendance this season is averaging 4,020, ranging from the league-best Calgary Hitmen at 7,258 to the league-worst Prince George Cougars at 1,612. On the move: There was as much going on behind the scenes as on the ice Tuesday in Moose Jaw.

Atmosphere combustible ahead of West final CFL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — Saskatchewan Roughrider defensive end Ricky Foley has been here before — staring down a tough team in a division final, with the possibility of playing in the Grey Cup on home turf on the line. The Riders will play the Stampeders in Calgary in the CFL West Division final on Sunday, with the winner heading to Regina for the Nov. 24 Grey Cup. Foley was with the Toronto Argonauts last season when they won the Grey Cup at home. But first, the Argos had to get past their arch rival Alouettes in Montreal in the CFL East Division final. It’s only Foley’s first year in Saskatchewan, but he says the Riders’ feelings against Calgary are similar. “You can feel it. It’s definitely palpable,” Foley said after practice Thursday. “You can sense it around here with the guys who have been with the

team for a while. I know how much they don’t like Calgary. “We’ve got some guys on our team who like to talk, they’ve got some guys on their team who like to talk. They’ve got some guys who like to hit, we’ve got some guys who like to hit. So any time you have that, I think it’s put into a little bit of a melting pot and it’s pretty combustible right now. “I think there’s a genuine distaste for each other right now at this point and Sunday’s probably going to explode and we’ll see what happens.” Some things are similar to last year in this division final, Foley said, while others are not. “Well, for me it’s a lot colder. I was in a dome last year doing this sweating, so that’s my main difference,” Foley joked. “The feeling, it’s pretty similar. Even when I was in B.C., it’s pretty similar. You know, you get to this point, you realize it’s the CFL and anybody can win on any given day. The best four teams are left and you’ve got to bring your A-game.” Foley said it’s only fitting that Calgary is the team Saskatchewan has to get past to get to the championship. A 29-25 win over the B.C. Lions in the West semifi-

CFL vet Hage ready for first East final BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HAMILTON, Ont. — He’s a multiple all-star, been the recipient of outstanding lineman and Canadian nominations and last year was named the top centre in the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ illustrious CFL history. But on Sunday, Marwan Hage will experience a career first: playing in an East Division final. The Ticats face the defendingchampion Toronto Argonauts at Rogers Centre with the winner advancing to the Grey Cup game in Regina on Nov. 24. “You just have to cherish the opportunity and give it the best shot you’ve got every time because it might not come around for another five-to-10 years,” Hage said Thursday. “I can attest to that.” Hamilton’s back in the East Division final for the first time since dropping a 19-3 decision to Winnipeg in 2011. But the six-foot-two, 291-pound Hage didn’t play in that game due to injury. A healthy Hage certainly enhances Hamilton’s chances for success Sunday. The 32-year-old centre is responsible for calling the offensive line’s blocking assignments. Hage must recognize defensive fronts and quickly figure out how to best neutralize the rush or oncoming blitz packages. That’s a challenge most games but becomes even more difficult when facing a Toronto defence

headed by Argos defensive coordinator Chris Jones. Jones has a well-earned reputation of being very imaginative in designing blitzes to pressure opposing quarterbacks. “He’s going to switch looks on you, he’s going to bring blitzes from a lot of angles and put pressure with a lot of fronts and a lot of looks,” Hage said. “I rely a lot on my experience and what I’ve seen. I’ve faced (Jones) a lot in the past, I study the tapes every time we play him but I have the utmost respect for his defence and some of the crazy stuff you see out there.” It’s easy to understand why Toronto would want to attack the Ticats’ offence. The unit surrendered a CFL-high 65 sacks this season and pressuring league passing leader Henry Burris could help ground the league’s secondranked aerial attack (299.7 yards per game). But Hamilton coach Kent Austin said the sack total is deceiving. “We were obviously not good early and some of that had to do with trying to figure out what was the best lineup,” Austin said. “We’ve modified what we’ve done offensively to play more to the strengths of those guys, identify what we don’t do as well and stay out of those situations as much as we can. “Just like other positions, we’ve improved over the course of the season. There’s a lot of reasons

why (sacks) occur and they’re not all due to just one position.” Austin said having a veteran like Hage at centre certainly anchors the offensive line. “He’s got a ton of experience, he’s very bright,” Austin said. “He gets our guys in position to be successful, he makes all the calls for us. “He’s a good, veteran, savvy presence that plays well.” Austin has been innovative in designing Hamilton’s offensive gameplan, using all three quarterbacks — starter Henry Burris and backups Dan LeFevour and Jeremiah Masoli — at different times of games. But Hage said having multiple players under centre hasn’t created challenges for Hamilton’s offensive line. “We’re used to all the quarterbacks . . . it works very well for us,” he said. Hamilton and Toronto have been long-time CFL rivals but will meet in the East Division final for the first time since ’86. Many of Hage’s current teammates weren’t even born then. “I understand the rivalry, I’ve been part of it for along time,” Hage said. “But we can’t play the past . . . we play for the present. “The important thing is to get to the dance, get to the championship. The Argos are the team we’ve got to face . . . right now, I see us doing what we have to do to try to get to the championship game.”

New Hamilton stadium vowed to be done on time BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HAMILTON, Ont. — Hamilton’s new stadium isn’t quite half finished with just seven months before it’s scheduled to open, but Pan Am Games CEO Ian Troop and Hamilton Mayor Bob Bratina vow it will be done on time and on budget. “You bet,” Troop told reporters Thursday during a tour of the construction site. “We’re right on track.” The CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats are slated to move into the $145.7-million state-of-the-art facility on June 30, 2014. “We started it with that in mind and we’re right on track,” said Troop, who heads up the organizing committee for the 2015 Pan Am Games. The stadium, which will host all 32 men’s and women’s soccer games at the Pan Ams, is being built on a 5.45-hectare parcel of land where the historic Ivor Wynne Stadium once stood. Bratina said if there are things that aren’t completed by June, they will be minor and won’t threaten the scheduled opening. “There may be some washrooms that need painting or something like that,” Bratina said. “With several months to go and assurances from contractors we’re looking good, I’m sure it will be minor cosmetics that may be left over. “But certainly I think by the end of June we’ll be playing football and soccer in this stadium.”

Rebels vs. Moose Jaw Warriors Tonight, 7 p.m., Centrium The Warriors owned a record of 7-13-2-2 — and were 2-7-1-0 in their 10 outings — heading into Thursday’s contest in Edmonton, the first of a three-game Central Division trip. Moose Jaw sat 11th in the Eastern Conference and sixth in the East Division and was coming off Tuesday’s 5-3 home-ice loss to the lastplace Lethbridge Hurricanes . . .

Hamilton will want to avoid the issues Winnipeg had with its new stadium, which was scheduled to open for the 2012 CFL season but didn’t see any football until 2013 due to construction delays. The Pam Am Games organizing committee says the stadium is more than 46 per cent complete and “progressing on time and on budget.” The structural steel frame is roughly 96 per cent done while more than 80 per cent of the high voltage electrical work has been finished. The committee says pre-cast concrete installation (over structural steel frame ) is 22 per cent done, more than half of the underground mechanical and electrical work is complete, masonry block installation on the west and south sides has begun, steel decks for pedestrian areas are more than 90 per cent finished and foundation work is also complete. Pre-cast concrete will be complete early in the new year, the organizing committee said, while seating and turf installation will happen in the spring. The stadium will feature two tiers of seats on both sides of the field with an initial seating capacity of 22,500. But that could expand to 40,000 seats for major events like the Grey Cup. It will meet all the technical requirements of both the CFL and FIFA, soccer’s governing body. The new field has shifted 90 degrees to a northsouth axis from Ivor Wynne’s east-west format.

nal earned the Roughriders the trip to West final. Calgary won the West with the CFL’s best record of 14-4. The Stampeders also won the season series with Saskatchewan 2-1, with both victories coming at McMahon Stadium. The atmosphere when the Stampeders and the Riders meet in Calgary is always charged, partly because many Saskatchewan ex-pats live in Calgary. There’s also a heated rivalry between the top two running backs in the CFL — Calgary’s Jon Cornish and Saskatchewan’s Kory Sheets. Cornish had a CFLleading 1,813 yards while Sheets was second with 1,598. Both teams also sport solid defences as the Riders allowed a league-low 22.1 points per game while the Stampeders were second at 22.9. Foley, who also won a Grey Cup with B.C. in 2006, says playoff games come down to trusting your coaches and your teammates. “From my experience, the best thing to do is not get too uptight, not try to do anything too much different than what you’ve done,” he said. “You’ve been successful, you’ve gotten to this point — keep doing what you’ve done to get here and just be focused.”

STORIES FROM PAGE B1

FLAMES: Outworked Matt Stajan, with a pair, and David Jones replied for Calgary (6-10-3). The slumping Flames are winless in their last five. “We just got outworked. It’s the same story,” said Flames winger Lee Stempniak. “We had a bad first period. We didn’t play smart, we didn’t play hard. That was a talented team and they took advantage of the odd-man rushes.” Leading 1-0 already, Dallas scored four straight goals to open the up the second period. Seguin began the onslaught at 1:19 knocking in his own rebound after Benn got the puck to the front of the net. The same combo struck again at 4:25, and again four minutes after that. That goal, making it 4-0, ended the evening for Berra, who was replaced by Karri Ramo. “We need to get back to our game and get back to our game quick. That’s unacceptable,” said Flames coach Bob Hartley. “We’re basically giving games away with unnecessary mistakes. Basic, simple mistakes that shouldn’t happen at this level.”

NFL: We just can’t hold onto the football Daniel Herron recovered for the Colts at the Titans 20, and Luck scrambled for an 11-yard TD two plays later. It was yet another special teams gaffe this season by the Titans. “For whatever reason, we just can’t hold onto the football,” Titans coach Mike Munchak said. “Another seven-point play really.”

OILERS: The blue-line needs to be improved He said “it’s debatable how good a job I’ve done” surrounding that core with adequate support players. With it likely the team will once again have a high draft pick next summer, he’s prepared to use that to try to get the support players needed. “I don’t view another first-round draft choice as what we need. We don’t need another 18-year-old kid coming in here next year.” And trading one of the young core players won’t happen, he said, because he’s seen too many youngsters traded away only to become elite players on other teams. MacTavish said the team’s primary need is a “big, stud defenceman” and he is prepared to trade draft picks in a package to get that type of player. “The blue-line needs to be improved upon,” he said, in stating the obvious. “We don’t have the physical makeup to be a good solid NHL defence.” The Oilers are home Friday to the San Jose Sharks.

CURLING THE CANADIAN PRESS MEDICINE HAT — Kevin Martin rallied to beat Steve Laycock 8-6 and stay undefeated at the Grand Slam of Curling’s Canadian Open on Thursday. The Edmonton skip scored four in the seventh end in Draw 5 against Saskatoon’s Laycock to take an 8-5 lead and eventually improve to 3-0. Martin is coming off a loss in the final of the first Grand Slam event earlier this month to Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont. Winnipeg’s Jeff Stoughton and Calgary’s Kevin Koe are also perfect through the early matches. Stoughton finished the day with an 8-4 win against Winnipeg’s William Lyburn, while Koe scored once in an extra end to edge Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen 6-5. Meanwhile, Switzerland’s Peter de Cruz beat Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L., 8-5 and Rob Fowler of Brandon, Man., defeated Edmonton’s Brendan Bottcher 5-3.

Cabrera, McCutchen named league MVPs BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — All those who marvel at Miguel Cabrera can only wonder what he might’ve done this year if completely healthy. Even so, Cabrera was a huge hit in Motown. Despite being hobbled by all sorts of ailments, the Detroit Tigers slugger won his second straight American League Most Valuable Player award Thursday, once again beating Angels outfielder Mike Trout by a comfortable margin. A season after winning baseball’s first Triple Crown in 45 years, Cabrera came back to lead the majors in hitting at .348 and finish second with 44 home runs and 137 RBIs. “I think this year was tougher because of the injuries,” he said on a conference call from the Miami area. “It was the last two months. It was tough to play through it,” he said. The eight-time All-Star missed several games after the break because of a bad back, a sore left hip flexor, a strained lower abdomen, shin trouble and a groin tear. He recently had surgery to fix the tear and said he’ll be ready for spring training. Still, Cabrera got 23 of 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. He became the first player to win consecutive AL MVPs since Frank Thomas for the Chicago White Sox in 1993 and 1994.

Pirates centre fielder Andrew McCutchen took the NL MVP by a surprisingly wide margin after leading a baseball revival in Pittsburgh. McCutchen drew 28 of the 30 first-place votes to finish far ahead of Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina. “I’m floating right now,” McCutchen said in Pittsburgh. “But I definitely didn’t expect it to be a landslide with those other guys — Goldschmidt and Molina. They were great candidates and I didn’t know what to expect.” McCutchen ranked among the NL leaders by hitting .317 with 21 home runs and 84 RBIs. He also scored 97 runs, stole 27 bases and had a .404 on-base percentage. The 27-year-old with the long, flowing dreadlocks helped the Pirates stop a record streak of 20 losing seasons and make the playoffs for the first time since 1992. Cabrera finished with 385 points, while Trout got five first-place votes and 282 points. The difference was 81 points last season, when Trout was AL Rookie of the Year. Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis, who led the majors with 53 homers and 138 RBIs, was third. “I think all three guys deserve this trophy,” Cabrera said. Davis and Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson each received a first-place vote. Cabrera took his third AL batting title in a row. He also drew a $1 million bonus for winning a second MVP during his current contract with the Tigers. No AL player has won three straight MVPs. Albert Pujols was the last repeat NL MVP winner in 2008

and 2009; Barry Bonds took four straight from 200104. The Tigers have virtually owned the major postseason awards during a three-year run of success. Justin Verlander was the MVP and Cy Young winner in 2011, Cabrera took the MVP last season and Detroit ace Max Scherzer won this year’s Cy Young Award on Wednesday. “I’m on the right team,” Cabrera said. The 30-year-old third baseman from Venezuela also captured the AL MVP last year when he hit .330 with 44 homers and 139 RBIs. Cabrera topped Trout 22-6 in first-place votes in that balloting. Trout hit .323 with 27 homers and 97 RBIs this year, stole 33 bases and led the AL in runs and walks. Cabrera clearly was baseball’s most dominant hitter for most of the season as the Tigers won their third straight AL Central crown. Voting for the BBWAA awards was done before the playoffs. Cabrera hit .262 with two homers and seven RBIs in 11 post-season games, and made a couple of key outs in Detroit’s six-game loss to Boston in the AL championship series. Cabrera was in contention for a second straight Triple Crown for much of the year, and was hitting .359 with 43 homers and 130 RBIs through Aug. 26. But he managed only two extra-base hits in his next 25 games through the end of the regular season.

Owners give green light to expansion of instant replay for umpires in 2014 ORLANDO, Fla. — Another baseball tradition is about to largely disappear: a manager, with a crazed look in his eyes, charging the field and getting into a faceto-face shouting match with an umpire. Instead, most calls on the field next season will be subject to video review by umpires in New York, Major League Baseball took the first vote in a two-step process Thursday, unanimously approving funding for expanded instant replay in 2014. They plan to approve the new rules when they meet Jan. 16 in Paradise Valley, Ariz., after agreements with the unions for umpires and players. “We made a gigantic move today,” Commissioner Bud Selig said. “This is quite historic.” Selig long opposed replay and watched from afar as it was first used by the NFL in 1986, the NHL in 1991, the NBA in 2002 and Wimbledon in 2006. Even the Little League World Series put replay in place for 2008. MLB allowed it starting August 2008 but in a limited manner: to determine whether potential home runs were fair or cleared fences. Now, virtually every decision likely will be subject to review, except balls and strikes, checked swings and some foul tips. “Tag plays, out/safe at first, fair/foul past the bags, those are all going to be included,” said Rob Manfred, MLB’s chief operating officer. So no more blown calls, like Don Denkinger’s at first base that turned Game 6 of the 1985 World Series or Jim Joyce’s bad decision at first base that cost De-

troit’s Armando Galarraga a perfect game in 2010. “We want to get more plays right, the ones that matter,” Manfred said. Manfred said when a manager wants to challenge a call, he will notify an umpire, triggering

a review in New York by what are likely to be present or retired big league umps. A headset would be brought to the crew chief, who would be notified of the decision. There will be a maximum of two challenges per manager in each

game — “it could be less,” Manfred said — and if the challenge is upheld it would not be counted against the manager’s limit. If a manager is out of challenges, umpires probably will be allowed request a review on their own.

UFC boss says GSP epitome of champion LAS VEGAS — Hungry. Obsessed. Driven. Professional. The epitome of a champion. UFC president Dana White was full of praise Thursday in summing up welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, who looks to extend his MMA legacy this weekend with a win over Johnny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks at UFC 167. “When you’re as rich as Georges StPierre is, to stay that mentally tough and to keep having the drive and the passion to win that he does, that’s what separates him from all the rest,” White told reporters Thursday. Asked how rich the 32-year-old fighter from Montreal was, White replied: “He’s rich. He’s very rich.” And White knows rich. The UFC boss travels in a world of private jets, big bets, fast cars and the finest restaurants. Saturday’s payday will likely help further pad the GSP retirement fund. St-Pierre, the organization’s biggest pay-per-view draw, is likely to earn several times over the US$2 million that Zuffa paid to purchase an ailing UFC back in 2001. White has his favourites and villains in his roster of fighters past and present. Former light-heavyweight Chuck (The Iceman) Liddell is like family. Tito Ortiz, another former title-holder, was oil to White’s water. But his tribute to St-Pierre, in a lengthy scrum of reporters after the pre-fight news conference Thursday, was unparalleled. “He’s an absolute professional,” White said. “No matter how dominant he’s been over the last however many years, he still takes guys seriously, he still puts in the hard work. He’s a dedi-

If the champion has an issue, he just picks up the phone and they hash it out. “There’s no ego with Georges St-Pierre ... Nobody has been easier and more professional to work with than Georges St-Pierre.” The champion has surrounded himself with good people, he added, “There are no barnacles on that kid’s back. That kid is his own man. he does his own thing.” And White seemed to marvel as the Canadian champion’s pursuit of excellence. “The thing that makes this whole thing work, this whole machine is hunger and drive ... To still have that drive

and that desire to win is what sets him apart from all the rest.” White was one of the early booster of St-Pierre. “In my opinion, Georges St. Pierre is the most talented fighter on the planet right now,” the UFC president said in February 2006 before UFC 58. “The Canadian people ought be all over him, man. The kid is good-looking, charismatic, an unbelievable fighter, one of the nicest human beings you could ever hope to meet. I’m surprised he doesn’t have major blue-chip sponsors here in Canada, because people are really starting to notice him in the U.S. “It doesn’t matter where’s he from,” White added. “He’s a star, he’s a UFC star.”

White has also been critical. After St-Pierre was beaten in his first title defence, at UFC 69 in April 2007, the UFC boss questioned his mental strength, “After watching that Matt Serra fight, I question Georges St. Pierre’s mental ability to fight.” St-Pierre (24-2) has not lost since and has long put that criticism to rest. On Thursday, as Hendricks drove himself to distraction over pre-fight bickering concerning additional drug tests, St-Pierre smiled and politely answered all questions on the topic. In response to Hendricks’ sly claim that the champion wasn’t as big as he used to be, St-Pierre — speaking in French — turned the accusation into a testimonial for his fitness DVD RushFit. He looked every part a champion, in an elegant suit and tie. Hendricks wore a garish yellow/lime green T-shirt under a black baseball cap. White noted how St-Pierre looked on the televised preview show for UFC 167 — his nose split and face bruised from training. “Eyes so black that it actually looks like he has black eye-liner across his eye. That’s a guy who’s busting his ass in the gym every day, That’s the guy who’s doing everything it takes to win another title defence.” These days St-Pierre is on a quest to keep adding his name to the UFC record book. He can make history by winning Saturday, becoming the first fighter to record 19 wins in the UFC. The Canadian champion is currently tied with UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes, whom he first beat for the title, at 18 victories. GSP is also tied with former middleweight champion Anderson Silva for most wins in UFC title bouts at 11.

Kadri gets three games for hit against Wild THE CANADIAN PRESS NEW YORK — Already thin down the middle, the Toronto Maple Leafs will now be without centre Nazem Kadri for the next three games. Kadri was suspended by the NHL on Thursday for goaltender interference stemming from his hit on Minnesota’s Niklas Backstrom in the Wild’s 2-1 shootout win Wednesday night. That compounds Toronto’s already problematic situation at centre as the club is already missing injured forwards Tyler Bozak and David Bolland. Bozak, the Leafs’ firstline centre and top faceoff man, has been out since injuring his hamstring in a road game Oct. 25 versus the Columbus Blue Jackets. Bolland, acquired from Chicago in the offseason, had six goals and four assists in 15 games before suffering a severed tendon during a Nov. 2 game in Vancouver. Kadri, along with converted winger James van Riemsdyk, was supposed to fill the void left by the injured centres. But he put his team in a deeper hole when he hit Backstrom in the head in the first period of Wednesday’s game at Minnesota. Kadri tipped a Joffrey Lupul shot on goal, then ran into Backstrom while driving to the net after the goaltender made the save. Backstrom stayed in the game briefly before being replaced by Josh Harding. The team says Backstrom has an upper body injury.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum took the first-round lead Thursday in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, birdieing seven of the first 13 holes at Guadalajara Country Club. The 23-year-old Phatlum, winless in five seasons on the LPGA Tour, dropped a stroke on the par-4 14th hole and finished with a 6-under 66. Playing for the first time in Guadalajara, Phatlum birdied the first three holes. She added birdies on Nos. 7, 9, 11 and 13, and had only 25 putts. “My putting was very good,” Phatlum said. “I had a complete game today. ... I just want to have fun on the course this week.” Amy Yang was a stroke back, and fellow South Korean players Inbee Park and So Yeon Ryu were two shots back at 68 along with Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist. Yang had six birdies and a bogey. “I think I did everything so well today, especially putter,” Yang said. “I felt really good over the ball every time.” She won the KEB Hanabank Championship last month in South Korea for her first LPGA Tour title. “It really helped,” Yang said. “I had some chance to win before. When I didn’t achieve it, I was wondering if I can do it or not. But since the first win, I have a lot of confidence, and now I’m enjoying it more.”

Thief dashes, bashes STORE EMPLOYEE FOLLOWS SUSPECTED THIEF, IS STRUCK BY VEHICLE

RCMP CAREER PRESENTATION

An employee of the HarleyDavidson dealership was hit by a fleeing pickup truck on Thursday afternoon after following a suspected thief out of store in Gasoline Alley, south of Red Deer. The incident at about 1:20 p.m. was very upsetting for store owner Grant Price, who said, “When one of your employees comes to work and ends up in hospital, it’s not very nice.” According to information Price gathered from store staff, two suspects entered the store.

As one distracted a salesperson, the other managed to get a magnetic anti-theft security tag off a leather jacket. Shortly after this suspect left the store with the jacket, a Harley-Davidson employee found the removed tag and followed him out into the parking lot. “He tried to get out of the way of the (fleeing) vehicle, but was hit by the mirror,” said Price, who added the worker, who is in his 30s, was in a lot of pain. “It mangled up his arm pretty bad.”

He couldn’t drive himself to the hospital, so another employee drove him, said Price, who had not yet learned about the severity of the injury. The hit and run and theft were reported to Red Deer Rural RCMP, who are seeking a white pickup truck carrying two male suspects. Price believes striking a pedestrian will mean more serious charges will be laid. “At the very least it would be assault with a vehicle.” He suspects the thieves are

professionals because they had the equipment to remove the electronic tag. Price will be viewing video footage from the store to come up with descriptions of the suspects. He said such thefts are uncommon because the store is well staffed and there are lots of security cameras. A police spokesperson could not be reached for comment.

Pathology, forensic firearms experts testify at murder trial BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Experts in forensic pathology and forensic firearms were the focus of the third day of testimony in a murder trial on Thursday. Dr. Elizabeth Brooks-Lin, a Calgary medical examiner, testified the Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench jury trial that she conducted the autopsy of Timothy James Mock, 33, who was killed on Feb. 22, 2012, on the Mock Ranch north of Consort. His brother John Wayne Mock, 35, faces a second-degree murder charge. Brooks-Lin said Timothy died as a result of gunshot wounds he sustained. She said the victim had sustained four wounds from bullets to the body and she could not say with certainty which shot killed him, but that he died of the injuries they caused. Two of the wounds Timothy sustained were “through and throughs” where they had both an entry and exit point on his body. Brooks-Lin said a bullet went through Timothy’s forearm as there were both entry and exit wounds there and a bullet

GUNSHOTS CAUSE DEATH entered the left side of his chest and exited the right side. Two bullets were recovered from his body during the autopsy. Brooks-Lin said they both entered the body from the right side of the back and stopped inside the victim. They hit vital organs on their paths including the kidneys and liver. A third bullet was recovered from the scene. Brooks-Lin said it was possible that the bullet that caused the wound in the forearm could also have caused one of the wounds to the body. Also called by Crown prosecutors Thursday was John Marshall, a forensic firearm and tool marks expert. Marshall, who worked at the RCMP forensic lab at the time, examined the firearm police recovered from the scene — a Ruger Blackhawk .45-calibre revolver — as well as the bullets, casings and a shirt recovered from the scene.

Man guilty in fatal collision A man charged in connection with a fatal crash that killed a motorcycle passenger has pleaded guilty. Bradley Dean Blain, 52, pleaded guilty to failing to proceed safely after stopping at an intersection. He was fined $2,000 for the Aug. 26 incident.

At about 12:30 p.m., Rocky Mountain House RCMP were called to the two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Hwys 11 and 756 just west of Rocky Mountain House. A man and woman were travelling west on Hwy 11 on a motorcycle while an SUV was at a stop

sign, facing south. Police said the SUV proceeded from the stop sign and the motorcycle hit the driver’s side of the SUV. Both the man and woman from the motorcycle were airlifted by STARS Air Ambulance to Foothills Hospital in Calgary. The woman later died in hospital.

A new first aid training centre has opened its doors in downtown Red Deer. City First Aid, owned and operated by Krystal Kromm and Jonathan Wieler, provides standard first aid classes, CPR instruction and emergency first aid and recertification courses. There are also car seat workshops available, as well as the babysitting course PeopleSavers (a four-level Canadian Red Cross program for kids) and ResepectED, a violence and abuse prevention program. “We’re passionate about health and fitness and first aid is part of that,” said Wieler, who recently ran unsuccessfully for a spot on city council. The business has been open for almost two weeks. “We’re starting to book up. We’ve had on average eight to 10 people a day. We can service up to 20 people per class.” City First Aid is located at 5116 48th St., in the same building that previously housed City Motion Fitness, Wieler and Kromm’s first business. The couple closed the gym to start the new venture and redirected members to Absolute Fitness on 54th Avenue, where the rates they had paid at City Motion will be honoured for a limited time. City Motion ran for about a year with first aid classes on the side. The classes were increasing popular, proving to be a more lucrative business, Wieler said. “We’re big into the safety business. We’ve been first aid trainers for a year and there’s a market for it.” All proceeds from the $5 car seat workshops, presented by Kromm who is a certified car seat technician, will go to charity, Wieler said. Down the road, Wieler hopes to use his own oilfield experience and eventually start offering H2S (hydrogen sulfide training) courses and confined space training. “There’s lots of competition there but I think there’s room for us. We offer great rates and we’re willing to do onsite training,” he said. “I worked in the oilfield for eight years and I’ve been in a number of emergency situations. In one, a guy lost his finger and it stuck with me how we prepare and prepare and something like that happens and everyone is shocked.” For more information, visit www.cityfirstaid.ca. rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate.com

All eyes are expected to be on the review. A recent Leger poll, commissioned by the Calgary Herald, suggests Tory supporters are split on Redfordâ€™s leadership. Saturday will be filled with annual general meeting business, constituency sessions and a series of panel discussions. Panels will discuss fiscal responsibility, social policy, education, environmental sustainability and health. There also constituency sessions planned that offer party members advice on communications, fundraising and creating strategic plans. Besides energizing the party, the annual get-together sets direction for the coming year.

He said the bullets recovered could be neither ruled out or ruled in as being fired by the revolver police seized. He said the characteristics presented by the bullets show they could have been fired from any Ruger Blackhawk .45-calibre revolver. However, he did say the bullet cartridges police recovered along with the handgun were fired by the firearm. He also said that because there was no residue from the firing of a gun on the shirt the gun was fired at least 30 inches away from the victim. John Mockâ€™s trial continues Friday with more Crown testimony. His lawyer, Darren Mahoney, said his client admits to the facts of the shooting, but contends that he was affected by a mental disorder at the time of the shooting and was therefore not crimi-

Dallas optimistic on solution BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR

File photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An animated neon Heinz Ketchup bottle sits atop the Senator John Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh. H.J. Heinz Co. announced Thursday it is closing three plants in North America, including one in Ontario, and cutting 1,350 jobs in an effort to operate more efficiently.

Ketchup-maker Heinz closing Ontario plant, cutting over 700 jobs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LEAMINGTON, Ont. — After more than a century operating in the heart of Ontario’s tomato country, ketchup-maker Heinz Canada is closing the doors of its plant in Leamington next year. The food manufacturer and processor said Thursday that the shutdown will be phased in over the next six to eight months and will cut 740 full-time, permanent jobs. Up to 500 seasonal workers hired each year during tomatoharvesting season will also be affected. Heinz has been in Leamington for more than a century, after choosing the city in 1909 for its first expansion outside the United States. The Leamington plant produced ketchup, condiments and sauces, baby food and tomato juice. It will now shift production from the plant to its smaller facility in St. Marys, Ont., and to the U.S. “We reached this decision after thoroughly exploring extensive alternatives and options,” Heinz spokesman Michael Mullen said in

an email in which he referenced closures in the U.S. as well. “Heinz fully appreciates and regrets the impact our decision will have on employees and the communities in which these factories are located.” Heinz Canada is one of the largest employers in Leamington, a community of 28,000 located southeast of Windsor. It reportedly pays the city approximately $1 million in taxes each year. Approximately 40 per cent of the 7,000 acres of tomatoes planted in the region are contracted to the company, according to figures supplied by Chatham-Kent agriculture specialist Kim Cooper. Francis Dobbelaar, a member of the board of directors of the Ontario Processing Vegetable Growers, said many farmers have already started work on their tomato crop and will be at a loss if Heinz does not honour their existing contracts for this year. “Farmers have done the cultivating and have made the investments necessary for next year’s crop,” he told the Chatham Voice community newspaper. “We have to wait and see what Heinz does in terms of its contracts and whether

there will be some type of compensation.” Dobbelaar said issues of planting alternative crops or market changes will come to bear once more is known. Transporting tomatoes to processing elsewhere isn’t feasible in the long term, Dobbelaar added. He has 100 acres not contracted to Heinz but feels the pain associated with the loss. “These are our friends and neighbours and it’s a bad day for them,” Dobbelaar said. “There isn’t much in the way of a silver lining at this point.” The company also announced that it is closing its manufacturing facilities in Florence, S.C., costing 200 jobs; and Pocatello, Idaho, which will affect 410 positions. “Our decision to consolidate manufacturing across North America is a critical step in our plan to ensure we are operating as efficiently and effectively as possible,” said Mullen. In total, Heinz is eliminating 1,350 positions across Canada and the U.S. It said it will invest in the remaining facilities and add 470 positions at five factories in Ohio, Iowa, California and Canada.

Program offers workplace training BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR

EPSS

Often, the only thing standing between an employee and a job is a lack of training or experience. Red Deer’s Employment Placement and Support Services (EPSS) is helping to remove such barriers with a program it’s been offering since the summer. Workplace Training provides funding to employers to help cover the costs of on-the-job training or work experience. In the case of the former, the program can run for up to 26 weeks; for the latter, the maximum period is three weeks. In addition to reimbursing an employer for up to 70 per cent of a worker’s wages, to a maximum of $390 a week, EPSS will assist with the development of a training program. Chris Upsdell, who is co-ordinator of Workplace Training, said the provincially funded program is designed to address situations where a “skill gap” is preventing someone from finding work in a chosen field.

“There has to be a skill gap between what you’ve got now and what it would take to get you hired for that position,” he explained. This could extend to people like new Canadians, who need to have existing qualifications recognized or upgraded. The work experience stream of the program is for those who simply need time on the job to qualify for full-time employment. To be eligible for the Workplace Training program, an individual must be unemployed and have a defined skill gap or lack of experience for a chosen vocation. And the employer must have a permanent full-time position to fill. “We’ve got some good success stories,” said Upsdell. “What we’re trying to do is get the word out to the public that it’s available.” Additional information can be obtained by contacting Upsdell at the EPSS office at 403-343-6249, or by going to the EPSS Facebook page. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Cal Dallas returned to Alberta from Washington, D.C., late Wednesday, optimistic that a Canada-U.S. trade irritant might soon be resolved. Alberta’s minister of International and Intergovernmental Relations was in the American capital early this week with Premier Alison Redford. They met with politicians and State Department officials, and the United States’ contentious country-of-origin labelling (COOL) rules were among the issues discussed. Under COOL, meat products sold in the U.S. must indicate the country they came from, and be processed and packaged separately. This is discouraging some processors from buying Canadian beef, pork and other meats. COOL is being challenged in the courts and through the World Trade Organization, but Dallas said a political solution would be better. “What I heard from a variety Cal Dallas of different sources there is that there are congressmen and senators that are looking at the potential to introduce a repeal amendment into the Farm Bill, which is under debate right now,” he said. The province announced on Thursday that Agriculture Minister Verlyn Olson will also add his voice to the anti-COOL lobby when he meets with American legislators in Washington next week. “American legislators are debating the Farm Bill. Through the Farm Bill, U.S. legislators can put an end to the economic harm COOL is creating throughout North America,” said Olson. Pipeline development, and specifically the proposed Keystone XL line that would connect Alberta’s oilsands — CAL DALLAS to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast, was also discussed during Dallas and Redford’s trip to Washington. Dallas said they were able to elaborate upon the measures being taken in Alberta to address concerns about greenhouse gas emissions — including carbon capture initiatives, investment in environmental technology and the sharing of best practices among oilsands companies. “I think the awareness level of some of the work that we’re doing in Alberta is starting to pay some dividends in the context of allowing us to have a broader conversation,” said Dallas. The meetings included Congress members Matt Salmon of Arizona, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Tim Griffin of Arkansas and Jim Costa of California; and Senators Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota. Dallas and Redford also spoke with officials from the State Department and related agencies involved in Keystone’s environmental assessment. Dallas thinks they were able to strengthen the case for the pipeline. “For example, we were able to have conversations about the rising use of rail to transport oil from the oilsands area and what that means, both in the context of GHG emissions — which means a larger GHG profile for the oil that’s moved in that manner, as opposed to through the pipeline — and that they were incorporating that kind of information into the assessment. “That was critically important for us that there was a realization that the oil would continue to find a way to market; the question would be then what would be the most efficient and productive way to ensure that’s done safely.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

The strength of its operations in Papua New Guinea helped push High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) to improved revenues and earnings in the third quarter. The Red Deer-based company reported on Thursday that it had revenues of $36.3 million and net earnings of $7.7 million for the three months ended Sept. 30. Those figures were up

one per cent and 18 per cent respectively from High Arctic’s revenues of $35.8 million and net earnings of $6.5 million for the same quarter in 2012. Net earnings per basic share for the quarter were 16 cents, up from 14 cents. Although the company’s Canadian revenues and earnings were down sharply from the same period last year, these decreases were more than offset by improved numbers in Papua New Guinea. “Our diversified services offerings in (Papua New Guinea) have continued to be beneficial for the company throughout 2013,” said High Arctic CEO Dennis Sykora. High Arctic’s revenues for the first nine months of 2013 were $114 million, up six per cent from $107.6 million to the same point last year; but its net earnings slipped 4.7 per cent to $18.2 million from $22.9 million.

The S&P/TSX composite index gained 60.72 points to 13,431.38, with support also coming from a strong earnings report from IT company CGI Group (TSX:GIB.A) and one matching analyst expectations from Kinross Gold (TSX:K). The Canadian dollar fell 0.05 of a cent to 95.53 cents US. U.S. indexes gained momentum as traders took in confirmation hearings on Janet Yellen’s nomination to lead the Federal Reserve. The Dow Jones industrials were up 54.59 points to 15,876.22, the Nasdaq added 7.16 points to 3,972.74 and the S&P 500 climbed 8.62 points to 1,790.62. The session got off to a largely positive start as Yellen’s prepared remarks were released Wednesday after the market close and indicated she won’t be straying from the low interest rate policies of outgoing chairman Ben Bernanke. She said the economy has regained ground lost to the recession, but that U.S. unemployment at its current level of 7.3 per cent remains too high. Later, during a question and answer session with senators, Yellen said the Fed understands that quantitative easing, involving the monthly purchase of US$85 billion of bonds, can’t go on forever. But she made it clear that “it is important not to remove support while the recovery is still fragile.” A strong rally on markets in October has largely stalled this month on concerns that the Fed could start tapering as soon as December. The Fed’s bond purchases have kept long-term rates low and supported a strong advance on many markets. The gold sector led advancers, up about 2.3 per cent while bullion prices advanced with December gold ahead $17.90 to US$1,286.30 an ounce. Goldcorp (TSX:G) gained 61 cents to C$25.90. Kinross Gold Corp. (TSX:K) reported a big drop in third-quarter net earnings amid falling gold prices and higher production costs. Kinross said net income fell to US$49.9 million or four cents per share in the three months ended Sept. 30. Adjusted earnings were $54.4 million or five cents per share, in line with analyst estimates and its shares rose 20 cents to C$5.40. The energy sector was ahead 0.85 per cent. Early gains in oil moderated after U.S. Energy Department data for last week showed that crude supplies rose by 2.6 million barrels against an expected increase of 1.8 million barrels and December crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange was down 12 cents to US$93.76 a barrel. Canadian Natural resources (TSX:CNQ) advanced 83 cents to C$33.11. The tech sector was up 0.55 per cent with shares in CGI Group Inc. (TSX:GIB.A) up $1.62 or 4.3 per cent to $39.24 after posting $141 million of net income in its fourth quarter, compared with a loss of $168 million a year ago. Ex-items, earnings were 67 cents a share for the Montreal-based IT services company, five cents better than expected. CGI has been partially blamed for the huge problems related to the online launch of Obamacare. Financials were also higher, but shares in Power Financial Corp. slipped 15 cents to $34.84 as thirdquarter profit was down about five per cent from a year ago to $434 million. Ex-items associated with the purchase of Irish Life by its Great-West Lifeco subsidiary, Power Financial’s operating earnings were $476 million or 67 cents per share. The base metals component was slightly lower while copper prices were flat after losing ground the two previous days, reflecting disappointment that a meeting of Chinese leaders earlier this week failed to yield hoped for economic reforms. The December contract was unchanged at US$3.16 a pound. Turquoise Hill Resources (TSX:TRQ) fell 36 cents or 7.78 per cent to $4.27. The fall came as the miner suspended work on development of its premier project, the copper mine at Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia after the government said financing for the project would require parliamentary approval. The company said Thursday that talks with the government are continuing but that it would be unable to complete project financing this year.

Canada lifts Czech Republic travel visa THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada has lifted a visa requirement for travellers from the Czech Republic, bringing them in line with most other European countries. But visas still apply to potential visitors from Romania and Bulgaria because Canada continues to have concerns about human smuggling and organized crime gangs, Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said Thursday. The issue is significant because Canada and the European Union signed an agreement in principle on a free trade deal last month that still requires the final approval of the EU’s 28 member countries. Canada’s visa requirements are resented in the affected European countries, raising fears they could take steps to block the government’s coveted deal with Europe. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said last month in Brussels that

he would eventually like to see visa-free travel between Canada and the EU. Canada originally imposed the visa to block what it called bogus refugee claims by large

numbers of ethnic Roma applicants from European countries. Alexander said changes to Canada’s asylum system will deter bogus claims from the Czech Republic.

Addition of Six Overnight Shelter Beds at 5246 – 53 Avenue Land Use Bylaw Amendment 3357/BB-2013 City Council is considering amending the Land Use Bylaw; an amendment to Section 8.19 of Direct Control District 19 to allow for a maximum 46 bed combined non-medical detoxification centre and overnight shelter. This is an increase of 6 beds from the current number of 40 beds and can be accomplished without expanding the building. Direct Control District 19 encompasses the properties at 5246 (building) and 5256 (parking) 53 Avenue.

They are held through their Inukshuk venture to provide wireless Internet to more than 100 rural communities, but it’s not widely used. Telus and some smaller Internet providers also claim licences.

Scientists unearth oldest big cat fossil yet BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

the researchers determined the skull’s age. The fossil is “convincingly older than the current record holder,” said David Polly, a paleontologist at Indiana University who had no role in the study. Polly said in an email that there’s also good evidence that the big cat lived in the Tibetan plateau and there could be even older big cat fossils there to uncover. The newest fossil had a broad forehead similar to snow leopards and its front teeth were heavily worn. It was small for a big cat — probably about the size of a clouded leopard, a cat found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia that can grow to 50 pounds (23 kilograms). The team returned last year and excavated more cat bones including lower jaw fragments and pieces of a second skull. The new cat species was named Panthera blytheae after Blythe Haaga, whose parents are donors of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Tseng was a graduate student at the University of Southern California and worked at the museum during the fossil discovery. In an email, Anjali Goswami of University College London called the cat skull a “very significant find” and “magnificently preserved.”

The process developed by Charles Musgrave, professor of chemical and biological engineering at the CUBoulder, and his team uses heliostats to focus sunlight and concentrate it on a tower, heating a reactor containing metal oxides of iron, cobalt, and aluminum. Once these materials are at a temperature of 1,371C, steam, also heated to the same temperature by the towerheliostat system, is introduced.

HOROSCOPES

ASTRO DOYNA

SUN SIGNS reason to engage into a verbal fight. Interactions with other become intensified. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You exude power and control in your office environment. You have a smart way to juggle with everyone’s changing attitude. However, do not abuse of your power to overrule them. Be smart about your strategy in how you mix love with work. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The conservative Virgo will likely reveal its smokier side. In all your means of self-expression of personal individuality, there’s a darker, more mystical inclination to them. You have a magnetic influence over a loved one. Avoid any tactics of manipulation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Deep down, you are not fully satisfied with the place you occupy in your living space. Your personal zone may feel too claustrophobic or you may simply feel that you do not belong there. Be candidly clear about your true wants. Act more firmly, but not out of range. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Being in someone else’s presence appeals to you greatly. You seek approval and validation from your business or romantic partner. Conversations may withhold a degree of persuasion and control. Nobody can play this mind game better than you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It is back to the usual routine for you today.

Whether it’s cleaning or doing your laundry, you want to implement a sense of order and organization into your life. You may become more emotionally attached to a personal belonging. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Let your hair down and remember what it is like to feel young at heart and alive. Bring on your inner child. You may attract someone’s attention that you may desire at any cost or feel that someone has a huge interest in you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Your call for a sense of belonging is of great importance to you now. Any familiar territory is like home to you. You may be driven to dig into your own history and seek answers, which were not divulged to you thus far. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have something to share and you will voice your ideas loudly and clearly. Your sixth sense allows you to read people’s body language or to even read between the lines. Friendships will ask you to be frank about your place in the group. Astro Doyna is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist. Her column appears daily in the Advocate.

Friday, Nov. 15 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Ray McKinnon, 56; Jonny Lee Miller, 41; Shailene Woodley, 22 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The Taurean Moon makes us traditional and enduring. There’s a higher empathy towards other people’s mood and behaviour. We can easily grasp our feelings and sense each other’s predisposition. We feel more charitable and spiritually tuned. Venus and Pluto brings us lots of lust. It is the kind of lust that boosts our heart rate with fervent desires and lots of sexual energy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: If today is your birthday, this is a highly ardent year for you. You may meet someone that catches your eye quite accidentally, while running your usual errands. A sibling may be more cooperative and helpful at this time. In your relationships, you seek total commitment. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Money and security are on your mind today. You may disagree in the sharing process of certain funds. Superiors or people who hold a leadership role prove to be demanding. You may be forced to conform to their rules. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It is clear that what you want, you want it badly. By realizing that you may not obtain your desired freedom, you may use unhealthy, underhanded or perhaps compulsive tactics just to satisfy your hungry desires. Be careful what you wish for now. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Small interruptions may get in your way today. Instead of letting them get you personally, take some quality time in your own company. Do some meditation upon your recent life events. Dive into a world of total solitude. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You express a greater need to be part of a circle. Your partner or a child may disagree with you on certain views, but it’s not a sufficient

Alice, played by Julia Van Dam, and Jessica Bordley, as the Red Queen, run a scene from the Red Deer College Theatre Studies production of Alice Through the Looking Glass during a recent rehearsal.

RDC THEATRE STUDIES STUDENTS BRING LEWIS CARROLL’S REVERSE UNIVERSE TO LIFE BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Larry Reese recently experienced the kind of topsy-turvy, mind-bending sensation that wouldn’t have been out of character for Lewis Carroll’s literary heroine, Alice. While walking through a Red Deer College hallway, he heard the déjà vu strains of music he had written as a 20-year-old in the early 1970s drifting from a rehearsal studio. Theatre Studies students were preparing to stage Alice Through the Looking Glass — the same version of Carroll’s story that was adapted for the stage by Jim DeFelice in 1974, with music composed by a much younger Reese. “It was like opening up a time capsule and finding something that was buried long, long, long ago,” added the now 60-something Reese, who now teaches in the RDC Motion Picture Arts program. Rather than cringing at the sounds he wrote as a young man, he thought his early compositional effort wasn’t half bad. “It actually brought a tear to my eye because it brought back wonderful memories.” Reese had no idea when he first scored the play adaptation as a student whether it would have longevity — never mind be reprised four decades down the road. The Red Deer College production of Alice Through the Looking Glass opens on Thursday at the RDC Arts Centre. He had been studying for his bachelor of music degree in Edmonton when DeFelice, a University of Alberta instructor who had heard Reese perform original songs with his folk-rock band,

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS What: RDC Theatre Studies presents Lewis Carroll’s Alice Through the Looking Glass, adapted by Jim DeFelice, with music by Larry Reese When: 7:30 p.m., Nov. 21 to 30 (1 p.m. Saturday matinees) Where: RDC Arts Centre Tickets: $26.25 ($21.25 students/seniors) from the Black Knight Ticket Centre asked him to write some music for his new stage adaptation of Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Being a theatre as well as music buff, Reese was excited to marry his two areas of interest. And he remembers DeFelice encouraging him to take an eclectic approach to his compositions for the play. This wasn’t difficult for Reese, who was involved at the time with another musical running at Citadel Theatre in Edmonton, and added some Gilbert and Sullivan nuances into his seven songs for Alice. Since he was also a folk-rock musician, some of those influences can also be heard. “And because I have a sense of humour about things, there are also some homages — some things that are musically humourous” in the tunes, said Reese. He grew up reading Carroll’s books and identifying with his plucky heroine. “I liked vicariously going into that world — and reading about the challenges of that world,” he recalled, noting that Alice has to be clever to keep up with, and in some cases outsmart, the bossy adults she meets.

There’s also a subversive darkness to Carroll’s story that Reese believes children appreciate. For instance, the light-hearted, funny duet sung by the Walrus and the Carpenter is actually about eating babies — well, baby oysters. As a grown-up, Reese appreciates Carroll’s clever writing because it appeals on two levels — to children and to adults. This imaginative “word play” is what grabbed the interest of RDC Theatre Studies director Lynda Adams, who was happy to be reminded of DeFelice’s play adaptation that had a successful run in Edmonton, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver before being shelved for more than 30 years. Even though the stage play was written only a half-dozen years after Jefferson Airplane’s hallucinogenic White Rabbit song became a chart-topping hit, Adams said it doesn’t contain any hippie references. It does maintain the whimsical spirit of Carroll’s literary children’s classic, which immortalized quirky characters, such as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the White and Red Queens, Humpty Dumpty, the Jabberwocky and the White Knight. In this sequel, Adams noted, Alice

does not go down a rabbit hole, but enters a reverse universe by climbing through the mirror on top of her fireplace. The Looking Glass world is the opposite of Wonderland, drawing on chess rather than playing cards for most references. Adams said, “Alice has to go from being a pawn to being a queen.” Instead of growing larger or smaller, based on “Eat Me” biscuits or beverages, Alice is bewildered by frequent changes in time and space. She meets characters who must go backwards to advance, and who know what’s going to happen the day after tomorrow. Adams intends to have fun with the relative sizes of actors with the use of a shadow screen. She is also encouraging her cast of seven second-year acting students to create over-the-top characters who can still react believably in bizarre situations. “Acting is all about imagination. If you can’t imagine yourself in a situation, then how can you play it?” said the director, who believes that encouraging young people’s fancy is especially important in this electronic age. Adams stressed that reprising DeFelice’s interpretation of Carroll’s classic story, with Reese’s music, would not have been possible without the skills of Red Deer musician Morgan McKee, who was brought on as the RDC production’s music director. The talented McKee introduced some necessary musical alterations of his own — including adapting Reese’s band score for a single electronic keyboard. And Reese is thrilled with the result. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Artpop falls short of its avant-garde ambitions BY ALLISON STEWART ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

REVIEW

There have always been two Lady Gagas: the button-pushing, meat dressclad provocateur and the distressingly conventional pop singer. Her new album, Artpop, is meant to be a transgressive exploration of fame, fashion and art, but it’s really a middlebrow pop album with high-art ambitions that too often go unrealized. “This is the reverse of Warhol,” Gaga recently told an interviewer. “This is the reverse of the soup can, this is art imprinted onto pop culture.” A pop album that truly tried to democratize the avant-garde would have been a great idea, but Artpop isn’t it. Gaga doesn’t have a lot to say about culture, except in the most cartoonishly broad strokes. Everything is burned down to its most obvious, tired signifiers: Versace, Warhol, Louboutin, Jeff Koons (the latter being Gaga’s fellow hightoned kitsch enthusiast, and the album’s cover artist). It doesn’t say much for Artpop that its avant-garde touchstones haven’t been avant since the Clinton administration.

The album is an undisciplined sprawl of genres, personas and ideas that is sometimes intensely pleasurable and sometimes wince-inducing. It’s grounded in the recognition that, however admirable Gaga’s fineart ambitions, she still must keep one eye on peers such as Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus. Artpop bears the skeletal outlines of everybody else’s 2013 hits: There’s trap, rave, disco, vaguely Euro-inspired EDM, ’80s nostalgia, songs about weed and awkward hip-hop featuring whatever rappers are willing to degrade their brand. It’s unclear whether Gaga knows it isn’t safe to venture too far from the unspoken limitations of Top 40, or whether she thinks she has. Artpop likes to occasionally explain its underlying thesis (“Pop culture was in art / Now art’s in pop culture / In me,” Gaga intones on the first single, Applause, which would have been terrible without those clunky lyrics). “My Artpop could mean anything,” she sings on the title track. Awkwardly pointing out the Art

in Artpop doesn’t make it any Artier. There are still moments when it’s a likable, buoyant dance-pop album, at least in its first half, which is highlighted by Do What U Want, an electro/’80s R&B hybrid, which pairs Gaga with R. Kelly and is the album’s best and liveliest track. G.U.Y. checks every familiar box: role playing, bad puns (G.U.Y. stands for “Girl Under You”), a killer hook, lyrics she’ll regret in five years. Like many songs here, it’s highly sexualized, which is different from saying it’s sexy, since Gaga’s air of sexual detachment rivals Rihanna’s. She recites lines like “Do you wanna see me naked, lover?” as if she were ordering lunch. Artpop disintegrates in its second half, some point after Swine (a shuddering, irredeemable rage stroke of a song), but before Mary Jane Holland, an improbably energetic ode to smoking pot. About the time Will.i.am shows up as a co-producer of the ersatz Bowie takeoff Fashion!, it becomes apparent that Gaga’s definition of avant-garde differs significantly from most everybody else’s. Gaga is at the point in her superfame where everything is meta. Every

song is about Gaga, even the ones that are technically about something else. “Listen to her radiate her magic / Even though she knows she’s misunderstood,” she nudge-nudges/wink-winks on Donatella, a tribute to the Versace matriarch which runs into the same trouble that most Gaga homages do. Most of her subjects are less compelling than she is. The penultimate track, Gypsy, is a souped-up electro ballad that sounds like a Billy Joel collaboration with the ghost of Kurt Weill. In other words, it’s great, offering just the sort of heartfelt, pulpy melodrama Gaga does so well, if increasingly rarely. But Artpop has other things on its mind. Any halfway diligent student of pop culture knows this was inevitable, that most artistically ambitious figures will eventually release an album their advisers couldn’t talk them out of — one the artist thinks is revolutionary and everyone else knows is kind of a mess. Despite its mission statement, Artpop isn’t a Warhol. It isn’t even a Yeezus. It’s the musical equivalent of Madonna’s Sex book, with R. Kelly standing in for Vanilla Ice; an ambitious misfire that read the moment all wrong.

JFK coverage a lesson in how not to move on

FORMATIONS

BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Even as I try to make sense of the hours and hours of TV programming that will air this month about the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, still more shows relentlessly arrive. There are documentaries, reenactments, investigations, period dramas — more than you could ever watch and more than you’d possibly want to. My days just get Zaprudier and Zaprudier. Yet the more I watch, the less I am enlightened or entertained. (And only occasionally am I moved. The blue sky of the day is always somehow eternally heartbreaking.) Before I review a few of the more notable offerings in this heap, it seems like the real review should be a review of us, as modern Americans. What’s wrong with this picture? (Why is the vertical hold still so tetchy?) Why do we subject ourselves to the ritual wallow in Kennedy grief? Why are we still pursuing mysteries that cannot possibly be solved? When we tune into it, what are we tuning out? It’s worth noting that the median age in the United States is about 37, which means a great majority of us don’t remember where we were when we heard the news on Nov. 22, 1963, because we weren’t around at all. This in no way means we are ignorant or dismissive of what happened, nor does it disqualify us from our status as grownups. But, had things gone differently in Dallas, President Kennedy would have journeyed on to Austin that afternoon, where (I have learned from National Geographic Channel’s rather good JFK: The Final Hours) he was going to deliver a speech that included the following lines: Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

“This country is moving and it must not stop. For this is a time for courage and a time for challenge. Neither conformity nor complacency will do.”

directorial debut. Cheadle has been trying to make the film for years, but production is finally set to begin in June. The production company said the movie won’t be a traditional biopic, but will focus on when Davis temporarily retired from making music and then re-emerged in 1979. The script is written by Cheadle and Steven Baigelman. Ewan McGregor will co-star as a Rolling Stone reporter, and Zoe Saldana will play Frances Davis, the trumpet player’s former wife. The film is being made with the collaboration of Davis’ family. Davis collaborator

TURBO 2D DESPICABLE ME 2 2D

Since everyone seems to be in the business of knowing what Kennedy thought, I wonder why none of the documentaries asks one of its public intellectuals the following question: what would Kennedy say about our fascination with his presidency, and especially the grisly details of his tragic death, five decades on? He could no doubt accept the ego boost with the usual pretense of selfeffacement, but wouldn’t Kennedy also find it somewhat sad that we still direct so much psychic energy toward Dealey Plaza? Put another way, what person’s death in 1913 would have merited this much airtime in 1963? This criticism is neither anti-history nor anti-Kennedy. I’m as easily drawn into the story of Camelot as any media consumer. What surprises and disappoints me is how predictable the 50thanniversary programming is, sorting Herbie Hancock will also be involved in the production. Davis died in 1991 at age 65.

BRIEF

LIVE DATES

Moving and it must not stop. This month’s excess of JFK-related programming and infotainment — hardly any of it thematically or artistically challenging or anything like courageous; nearly all of it conforming; nearly all of it complacently unoriginal, overly dutiful and rote — clearly demonstrates how this particular event, preserved in permanent hindsight, keeps us inert. As Nov. 22 approaches once more, this multimedia onslaught is a lesson in how not to move on. Allowing for history, reverence and popular interest, there is still much-too-much on TV in 2013 about the Kennedy assassination; “overkill” seems to be the right word, including the literal sense: bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve heard amplified rifle shots in the last week. JFK dies horribly, over and over and over.

TELEVISION itself into three general categories: First (and most wanly) there is drama and reenactment, including National Geographic Channel’s muchtouted Killing Kennedy, based on Bill O’Reilly’s best-selling book and starring Rob Lowe as the president. Next there is the category of portraiture and historical analysis, especially as seen in PBS’s dense but dutiful twonight documentary American Experience: JFK. And in the third category, tarted up with the latest CSI-style effects and forensic-ballistic obsessive-compulsive disorder, is a broad and depressing array of attempts to reopen the investigation. These shows most closely approximate the paranoia one can still encounter when chatting with conspiracy theorists who loiter near the actual grassy knoll outside the Texas School Book Depository building that is now a museum. Here, it’s all Oswald, all the time, except when it’s Jack Ruby, or bullet trajectories. PBS’s Nova, for example, gets a bit MythBusters with ballistics tests in the New Mexico desert (Cold Case JFK). History Channel’s JFK Assassination: The Definitive Guide is the flashiest of these — a graphics-heavy clearinghouse of theories and potential conspirators (the Mafia, the communists, the CIA), justifying itself with a survey conducted by the network that found 71 per cent of Americans in 2013 reject the Warren Commission’s finding that Oswald acted alone. (In 1964, History reports, only 31 per cent rejected it.) The Definitive Guide basks in a perpetual distrust. In that 71 per cent of doubters it sees a story that never ends and TV specials that never do, either. It picks at the scab simply to ensure that it never heals. From experts to eyewitnesses to historians to conspiracy theorists, everyone has an investment in keeping the puzzle unsolved. Even the man-on-the-street interviews in The Definitive Guide reflect a skeptical, know-it-all quality, a weirder version of The Tonight Show’s Jaywalking bit, in which everyday (unidentified) Americans insist, with no specific knowledge whatsoever, that something’s not right. I kept waiting for the person who would think about it, shrug, and then say to the camera that it was a long time ago and we should get on with it. ★★★ One striking quality of nearly every hour of JFK-related programming is an absence of women. It’s as though the television is telling us that there is only one woman in this narrative who matters, and she’s the one wearing the pink Chanel suit with the matching pillbox hat. Women historians with expertise in either JFK, the Cold War or the 1960s are apparently few and far between, if you judge from these projects. It’s as though the clock has reset itself to Mad Men. (Another intriguing possibility: Women have much better things to do than talk about the magic bullet, Jack Ruby’s mob ties or the mistakes made in the Bay of Pigs invasion.) One exception to this is PBS’s American Experience: JFK (produced and directed by Susan Bellows), in which historian and author Sally Bedell Smith gets lots of time amid her male peers (Robert Dallek, Evan Thomas, Robert Caro and the like) to unpack the essence of the Kennedy presidency. JFK is also the only documentary in the bunch that appears to have gained at least minimal access to members of the Kennedy clan — including Jack’s sister, Jean Kennedy Smith, and his niece, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. Kennedy Townsend also made herself briefly available — via a Skype link on a large projection screen — to reporters and TV critics in August at a PBS panel during the networks’ summer press tours.

Please see JFK on Page D3 day that Warhol’s Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster) sold for $105 million, including the buyer’s premium. It had been expected to fetch as much as $80 million. The buyer wasn’t immediately identified.

BOOKS The Day The Crayons Quit By Drew Daywalt $19 Although it’s only November, it doesn’t hurt to look over some of the books suitable for the little reader, three to five years for gift giving. The Day The Crayons Quit is a charming take on an everyday object, deciding it (they) are overworked. When Duncan, a young man who obviously does a lot of colouring, takes out his crayons, he finds a pile of letters addressed to him. The letters are from the crayons, and they are full of complaints. “It’s me, Red Crayon, and we PEGGY need to talk.” Red goes on to name FREEMAN all the things he is used for: apples, fire engines, strawberries and then, if that’s not enough, along comes the holidays and Santa’s outfit is, you know, RED. “ I need a rest, your overworked friend, Red Crayon.” All the crayons in the box have a case and Duncan will have to change his ways. This book has nice art, using, as you can imagine, every colour.

BOOKS

Press Here By Herve Tullet $17.99 This is a highly interactive book, not all that impressive at first glance. The book has a yellow dot on the first page, and the reader is invited to press it. It’s just a paint dot, but it leads to other paint dots and, if you follow the instructions, the dots will move all over the page, from left to right, or right off the top of the page. For the imaginative child, this is a big winner. Be prepared to run through the book again and again.

The Man with The Violin By Kathy Stinson $19.95 Dylan is a young boy who notices things that his mother does not. Mother rushes through the metro station with Dylan in tow and her favourite words are, “Not today.” Dylan sees people and things happening, and then he hears the most beautiful music. It makes his neck tickle and he wants to stop and listen. “Not today, no time.” He sees the man playing the violin and the man sees Dylan; their eyes meet. Down the escalator goes mother and Dylan must go, too. The music transports him, he feels like he’s flying. But don’t worry, Dylan and mother will both connect with the music before the day is through. This book has wonderful art throughout.

Sir Charlie Stinky Socks and the Really Dreadful Spell By Kristina Stephenson $12.95 This story begins: “Once upon a misty morning from the top of twisty-wisty beanstalk on a tall, tall tower with a pointy roof, in the middle of a magic forest. ...” Well, anything might happen to Sir Charlie and his cat “envelope.” There are four volumes in this series and they are all fun to read and fun to listen to. The only problem with these books is that there are pullout flaps, full page size, which are easily ripped. It is meant for the careful reader, or to be read with adult supervision. It has great yarns with good messages. The best present of all is good literature. Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

STORY FROM PAGE D2

JFK: Reputation as a womanizer

FRIDAY, NOV. 15, 2013

Flannery O’Connor journal published for the first time ing in a crystal for all eternity praising God. It is natural that I should not imagine this. If we could accurately map heaven some of our up-&-coming scientists would begin drawing blueprints for its improvement, and the bourgeois would sell guides 10c the copy to all over 65.” But O’Connor is hard on herself, too — as a person and as an artist. Reflecting on her lack of charity to another writer, she laments her own failings. “I have nothing to be proud of yet myself. I am stupid, quite as stupid as the people I ridicule.” Readers from all walks of life may appreciate the mixture of faith, self-doubt, determination and resignation that runs through A Prayer Journal, but book-lovers will be pleased to note that she presumes God is quite well-read. Various passages mention Coleridge, Kafka, Proust, Freud and Lawrence, and at times O’Connor seems to be seeking a patron saint of literature. “Please let the story, dear God, in its revisions, be made too clear for any false & low interpretation,” she writes in one prayer, and in another, gives voice to a feeling that every writer in the world can relate to.

BY KEVIN BEGOS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A Prayer Journal by Flannery O’Connor Farrar, Straus and Giroux Flannery O’Connor’s A Prayer Journal is a moving glimpse of a young writer seeking to balance her art with her faith. In 1946, O’Connor began writing the prayers in a common black-and-white schoolbook, when she was 21 and studying in Iowa. At the time she was just beginning to perfect her craft, but the journal shows the same sense of humour, tragedy and suffering that would distinguish her later American masterpieces such as Wise Blood, A Good Man Is Hard to Find and The Violent Bear It Away. In real life, O’Connor could mix a polite, reserved Southern demeanour with almost brutal frankness, and the entries that begin with the words “Dear God” are no different. “Hell seems a great deal more feasible to my weak mind than heaven,” she writes in one. “I can fancy the tortures of the damned but I cannot imagine the disembodied souls hang-

New books mark Kennedy assassination anniversary of Kennedy’s death, and “End of Days” is one of the best.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

End of Days: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy By James Swanson William Morrow Questions remain and conspiracy theories abound 50 years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Author James Swanson takes readers on a minute-byminute account of that fateful day in Dallas in “End of Days.” Swanson sets forth the historical groundwork of Kennedy’s life and his days in office leading up to his death on Nov. 22, 1963. He takes the historical record and turns the enormous cast and circumstances into an absorbing and fast-paced thriller. There are many titles from which to choose on the 50th anniversary

If Kennedy Lived: The First and Second Terms of President John F. Kennedy: An Alternate History By Jeff Greenfield Putnam If rain had fallen on Nov. 22, 1963, a plastic bubble would have covered the top of the vehicle carrying President John F. Kennedy through the streets of Dallas. Author Jeff Greenfield uses this as a launching point to imagine what would have happened if Kennedy hadn’t died on that fateful day in his fascinating book If Kennedy Lived. Due to his extensive research and interviews with experts in Kennedy’s life, Greenfield brings authenticity to the book, and provides a fascinating spin on what might have been.

She was asked something I’ve always wondered about: when a milestone anniversary rolls around, such as the 50th anniversary of Jack’s assassination, and brings renewed attention and media requests, does the family act as a unit in its responses? Do they make a plan about what to do and how to observe, what interviews to give and which to decline? Instead of directly answering that question, Kennedy Townsend instead told us about how 35 members of her family made a trip to Ireland this year to commemorate President Kennedy’s emotional visit there in June 1963. “He said that those four days in Ireland were the happiest days of his life,” Kennedy Townsend said. Then someone asked her and the rest of the panel to what degree the four-hour film intended to examine the president’s reputation as a womanizer and adulterer. The

“Dear God, I am so discouraged about my work.” Like Andy Warhol, O’Connor was a devout Catholic, and she tried to attend Mass every day. “God has given me credit for a few of the things. He kindly wrote for me,” she says, and concludes another entry with “Dear God please help me to be an artist, please let it lead to You.” For O’Connor, like some characters in her books, faith played out as a fierce battle between the realities of an unjust world and the absolute belief that there is more to life. In one prayer she muses that “perhaps the idea would be that good can show through even something that is cheap,” and in another she calmly notes that everything has a spiritual price. “The intellectual & artistic delights God gives us are visions & like visions we pay for them.” O’Connor stopped writing the journal in 1947, and she died of lupus in 1964. A Prayer Journal is a slim book but a powerful one, since even at this young age O’Connor was writing sentences that startle with their clarity. “Can’t anyone teach me how to pray?” reads one entry, and in that regard O’Connor needn’t have worried. She prayed as well as she wrote.

SMITH Marie Therese “Terry” It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Terry, on November 13, 2013 at Extendicare Michener Hill in Red Deer, AB, at the age of 89 years. Terry was born on August 22, 1924 in Battleford, SK. to Joseph and Yvonne Breton. In 1945, she married Ed Gallop, and together they had a son, Ray. Ed passed away in 1947, leaving Mom with a young baby to raise. In 1951, she married John Jacob “Jack” Smith, and together they raised three daughters. For many years Terry worked in the dietary department at Battlefords’ Union Hospital, and she made many good friends at work that she kept up with after retirement. She was very involved in CUPE and rose to become president of her union local, as well as a member of the Labour Council. She was also involved with her church. Terry liked to travel, and in later years Terry and Jack enjoyed many happy winters in Brownsville, Texas. In 2002, they moved to Red Deer, AB. to be closer to family, and due to deteriorating health, she moved into Extendicare Michener Hill in 2010. Mom liked to have a good time, and could organize a party for any number of people. She was a sports fan, and enjoyed watching curling, football and the Toronto Blue Jays. She had a good heart, always cheering for the underdog. She loved her family and her dogs and the Christmas season. She was a very social lady and liked to sit around with friends and family, playing cards or board games or just visiting. She was a very independent and capable lady. Mom was predeceased by her first husband, Ed Gallop, in 1947, and by her second husband, Jack, in 2004. She was also predeceased by a son, John Jacob, in infancy; her parents Joseph and Yvonne Breton, and two brothers Gerard and Louis Breton. She is survived by her son, Ray (Marj) Gallop and children Kevin and Brent (Mandie); and three daughters: Linda (John) Zimmer and children Teresa (Adam) Cracknell and Kat (Marc); Rita (Ken) Schermann and children Tammy Simpson (Greg), Jenny Carviel (Ken) and Nancy; Betty (Wayne) McCaffrey and children Sara (Logan) and Stacey; great grandchildren Carter, Logan and Lily Gallop, Ashley Simpson, Samantha Carviel and Zack Nitch. She is also survived by her sister, Laurette Breton, and brother, Paul Breton. The family wishes to thank the staff at Extendicare Michener Hill for their excellent care over the last 3 years. A Memorial Service will be held at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820-45 Street, Red Deer on Saturday, November 16th, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. A Funeral Mass and interment will take place in the spring in North Battleford, SK.

Obituaries JOHNSON Dec. 19, 1937 - Oct. 23, 2013 Yvonne was born December 19, 1937 in Calgary Alberta. She was the first child of Russell Edgar Bertrand and Lillian Susan (Morrell) B e r t r a n d .

Boston crime boss Bulger sentenced to life BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Former Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger was led off to prison Thursday for the rest of his life, accepting his punishment in stone-faced silence as a judge castigated the 84-year-old gangster for his “almost unfathomable” depravity. Bulger’s sentencing for his murderous reign in the 1970s and ’80s brought to a close a sordid case that exposed FBI complicity in his crimes and left a trail of devastated families whose loved ones were killed by Bulger or his henchmen. Many of the relatives had vented their anger at Bulger during the first day of his sentencing hearing on Wednesday, calling him a “terrorist,” a “punk” and “Satan.” So when U.S. District Judge Denise Casper announced the punishment — two consecutive life sentences plus five years — there were no shouts of joy or applause from the families, just silence. Afterward, many said they took some satisfaction in knowing that Bulger will spend the rest of his life behind bars. “That old bastard is finally going to prison. He’s going to die in prison,” said Tom Donahue, whose father was gunned down by Bulger after he happened to offer a ride home to a man who was Bulger’s actual target. Bulger, the former boss of the Winter Hill Gang, Boston’s mostly Irish-American mob, fled the city in 1994 after being tipped off by a former FBI agent that he was about to be indicted. He was a fugitive for more than 16 years until he was captured in Santa Monica, California, in 2011. His disappearance became a major embarrassment for the FBI when it was learned that corrupt Boston agents had taken bribes from Bulger and protected him for years while he worked as an FBI informant, feeding information on the rival New England Mafia. A jury convicted Bulger in August in a broad racketeering case. He was found guilty in 11 of the 19 killings he was accused of, along with dozens of other gangland crimes, including shakedowns and money laundering. At his sentencing, the judge read off the names of the 11. She told Bulger she sometimes wished that she and everyone else at his trial were watching a movie because the horrors described — including stranglings and shootings — were so awful. “The scope, the callousness, the depravity of your crimes are almost unfathomable,” she said before imposing the punishment prosecutors had requested. The judge also ordered Bulger to pay $19.5 million in restitution to the victims’ families and to forfeit an additional $25.2 million to the government, based on prosecutors’ estimate of how much his gang took in from drugs, extortion and gambling. It is unclear how much Bulger will be able to pay. Prosecutors did find $822,000 in cash stashed in the walls of his apartment when he was caught. Bulger, who was known for his volcanic temper, snarled obscenities at several once-loyal cohorts during his trial, but he said nothing at all at his sentencing and left the courtroom without even looking at one of his brothers or other supporters.

U.S. task force gathers in Virgin Islands to discuss ways to restore coral THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KINGSTON, Jamaica — Scientists and government officials began a two-day meeting in the U.S. Virgin Islands on Thursday to discuss ways of protecting and, hopefully, restoring severely degraded coral reefs in U.S. waters in the Caribbean and Pacific. The session on St. Croix involves the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force, which was set up in the late 1990s to help protect reefs. Among the topics is balancing tourism and development with ocean resource management, a big issue in the tourism-dependent Caribbean. Around the globe, reefs have been severely degraded by overfishing, pollution, coastal development and warming seas, threats expected to intensify from climate change and ocean acidification due to greenhouse gases. “The rapid decline of coral reefs in the Caribbean and Pacific is a wake-up call telling us that we must focus much greater attention on the diminishing health

of our oceans,” said Mark Schaeffer, co-chairman of the task force and U.S. assistant secretary of commerce for conservation and management. It’s an especially worrying problem for the Caribbean region, which has a multibillion-dollar beach tourism and fishing economy. The Caribbean Sea has almost 8,000 square miles (20,720 square kilometres) of coral reefs that protect coastlines by absorbing energy from waves, and Schaeffer noted the economies of tropical coastal communities are “directly dependent upon robust coral reef ecosystems.” But live coral coverage on Caribbean reefs is down to an average of just 8 per cent, from 50 per cent in the 1970s, the International Union for Conservation of Nature says. Coral is a tiny polyp-like animal that builds a calcium-carbonate shell around itself and survives in a symbiotic relationship with algae. Each provides sustenance to the other, creating a reef.

Major supermarket competitors are determined solely by us based on a number of factors which can vary by store location. We will match the competitor’s advertised price only during the effective date of the competitor’s flyer advertisement. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES (note that our major supermarket competitors may not). Due to the fact that product is ordered prior to the time of our Ad Match checks, quantities may be limited. We match identical items (defined as same brand, size, and attributes) and in the case of fresh produce, meat, seafood and bakery, we match a comparable item (as determined solely by us). We will not match competitors’ “multi-buys” (eg. 2 for $4), “spend x get x”, “Free”, “clearance”, discounts obtained through loyalty programs, or offers related to our third party operations (post office, gas bars, dry cleaners etc.). We reserve the right to cancel or change the terms of this program at any time. Customer Relations: 1-866-999-9890.
