‘Don’t put it off’
HOCKEYVILLE FUN FAIR
STROKE SURVIVOR LOOKS TO RAISE AWARENESS WITH THE STROKE STROLL BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Above his heart Daniel Trudell has a new tattoo. It’s the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s icon — a combination of a torch, maple leaf and heart. Trudell, 48, who resides in Torrington, is a stroke survivor with a message for everyone: “Don’t do what I did.” What he did was ignore warnings from his body that things weren’t right, and whatever is happening, don’t do the common sense thing and go to the doctor. “I was so in denial.” Now he says: “Don’t put it off. Don’t turn your back to it.” “Go to your doctor. Get your physicals.” Trudell is planning “The Stroke Stroll” next month to raise awareness and funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The day Trudell had his stroke, June 15, 2013, he had been out riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle with his then girlfriend. It was a beautiful day, and they toured around Central Alberta before deciding to stop in Cochrane at his girlfriend’s house for a bite to eat. Five minutes after he had parked his bike, as he sat on the couch, he started to feel funny on his left side. Trudell, who had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a year earlier, realized he was having a stroke and told his girlfriend to call 911. He was soon whisked off to Foothills Hospital in Calgary. Trudell had suffered what he describes as a brain bleed behind his right eye. The stroke did not affect his cognitive abilities but it did paralyze his left arm and leg. When he arrived at Foothills he was still in his motorcycle riding gear. “I told everyone there, nurses and doctors, that I’m walking out of here in my riding gear and I’m getting on my bike.” “They said, ‘Yes you will.’ They were totally positive.” Trudell, a carpenter, originally from the Lower Mainland in B.C., came to Alberta in 2009 to be closer to his mother. His mother is now in her third battle with cancer. His parents of other family members own the Pizza ‘N’ More eh! sandwich shop in Torrington. As Trudell faced his own condition in hospital, he realized it was going to be a lot of work. “I worked really, really hard through my therapy with the therapists.” “It was a life changer for me ... I saw people pass away (in hospital) ... I called it the sheet ward. I’m not getting sheeted outta here.” “I was literally working out every second I could.” Accompanying him on his recovery was the song Eye of the Tiger. The song, which he listened to on his headphones, was the huge 1982 hit from the American band Survivor. It was the theme song for the movie Rocky III, and as one can imagine, it’s inspiring. Imagine Sylvester Stallone getting ready for the big fight. As it turned out, Trudell’s progress was rocketlike. “I was walking in three weeks ... I was going to leave hospital in four weeks,” but doctors advised him not too. He did leave after seven weeks, something he said doctors told him was rare. The day he was discharged from hospital, wearing his riding gear, he got on his motorcycle and drove it around the hospital just to see if he still could. “I wasn’t supposed to but I wanted to prove it to myself. I rode it around the block ... I couldn’t ride it anymore.” He got off it and parked it at that point. Since then he has re-qualified to drive. Trudell has had to give up his carpentry business and is looking at a career change. He is currently on government assistance. Along with a team of supporters, he is going to do a three-day “Stroke Stroll”, walking between Olds and Red Deer along Hwy 2A. He starts from Olds on Oct. 2 at the corner of Hwy 27 and 2A, near the Petro Canada station. He hopes to travel at least 20 km a day. He intends to arrive at his final destination, Gasoline Harley-Davidson, at approximately 2 p.m. on Oct. 4, travelling a total of about 60 km. He decided to walk because a lot of people already do motorcycle fundraisers and walking is a challenge for him.

Nature Conservancy needs a little TLC A protected natural area on Pine Lake is getting a bit of a refurbishment. Colleen McPhee, co-ordinator for the Central Alberta Region for the Nature Conservancy of Canada, said the H.G. Lawrence property has been diminished after years of being heavily grazed by cattle. “We’re giving Mother Nature a little hand here,” the enthusiastic and rather jolly keeper of the land explains. The conservancy purchased the land — 113 acres — last December from H.G. Lawrence. It is the last undivided quarter around Pine Lake and the owner really wanted it to be a preserved property, said McPhee, who also lives in the area. Last week a group of volunteers from TransCanada came out to the property to plant MARY-ANN donated native white spruce BARR trees. The land is open to the public, and of course the wildlife that roam it. It can be used for a variety of outdoor activities, including snowshoeing, picking berries, hiking, bird watching, and photography. But it needs a little TLC, and volunteers are needed to assist with more planting of native species later this week. On Tuesday a group of people have been scheduled to do some planting. On Wednesday, the public is invited to come out and help plant pin cherry, choke cherry and wild rose bushes. Pine Lake is 45 km southwest of Red Deer. (For precise directions read to the end.) “We’re cutting really fines lines, Mother Nature and I are going to have a good time together. She and I have a bit of an argument once in awhile,” says McPhee, referring to the weather. This week’s work will be almost the end of it for 2014. On Nov. 15, again a date where volunteers are welcome, they will do some willow harvesting. Of course she offers an invite my way but I already have a other obligations. I’m not sure I would qualify anyway. “We’re always looking for fun people to come out and help us do stuff.” The harvesting involves cutting some willows elsewhere on the land and preparing them for replanting

Willows act as filters and prevent erosion. “That poor lake needs all the help it can get,” said McPhee. She’s right about that. A green algae alert was issued for Pine Lake in July. The algae toxins result in much of the lake activity — such as swimming — to come to a standstill. Ingesting the water can make people and animals such as pets quite ill. The alert continues and could go on until November. Algae alerts for Pine Lake are common now, as they are with other shallow lakes in Alberta.

Justice minister says cougar shooting by wildlife officers will be reviewed
LAKE FUN
CALGARY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Alberta’s justice minister has ordered a review into the shooting of a cougar near a Calgary hospital. Jonathan Denis says he’s no expert on how the situation should have been handled, but he says he is asking for a full review of the matter. Wildlife officers shot and killed the cougar on Thursday after it wandered near the hospital and was lying in tall grass. Brendan Cox, an Alberta government spokesman, explained that the officers had hoped to tranquilize and trap the cougar but determined the adult male cat was too riled up. Cox said cougars can become agitated when they get hit with a tranquilizer dart, adding the cat could have run into a more populated area, which would make the situation more difficut The shooting was posted on YouTube and people watching the incident can be heard in the video questioning why the cougar was killed.

A friend of mine said, ‘Don’t do that.’’’ He’s taken the advice. Anyone who wants to join him on the walk is welcome. Those who want go make a contribution to the Heart and Stroke Foundation can send it in care of Karen Jackman, area manager in Red Deer for the foundation. Trudell asks that people include a note that the donations are in support of his walk. The local foundation office address is 202 - 5913 50th Ave. Red Deer, Alberta, T4N 4C4. Trudell can be contacted at 403-438-0569. barr@reddeeradvocate.com
NATURE: Native form The Lawrence property is perhaps part of the solution to a healthier Pine Lake. The lakeshore on the property is good, untouched. There are no sandy beaches. It’s a steep, heavily bushed natural-looking lakeshore. “It’s really what it is supposed to look like,” said McPhee. “It’s in it’s native form, let’s call it.” Getting to the waterfront is no easy task. There’s a five-year plan to improve the property by the conservancy, which depends entirely on donated dollars. Part of the improvement involves creating wildlife corridors for creatures such as moose and deer. The lands owned by the nature conservancy will be green spaces in perpetuity. What’s amazing is that McPhee looks after about 45 properties — “I take care of the entire area Red Deer River natural area, 1.5 million acres.” “Every one of our properties purchased is unique.” “I have a million stories for you.” McPhee, a believer in creating these special spaces, was in fact was one of the first people in the area to sell land to the conservancy. The H.G. Lawrence property has a “hugely human” aspect because it offers a variety of outdoor activities, she said. That includes hunting. Hunters have to ask permission of course, and McPhee hopes they will let her know what animals are being taken, as well as other information such as the health of the animals.

“We’re not here to control animal populations. We want to know hunters’ experience. The hunters are our eyes and ears in the forest because I’m a oneman show.” The land is foot access only.

She can’t reveal the locations but tells me the conservancy is looking at other land purchases in Central Alberta. The number of people offering land is “overwhelming.” “I have never ever had to go and ask anybody. So

Martin Shields celebrates winning the Conservative nomination in the new federal riding of Bow River in Brooks, Saturday. Controversial Alberta MP Rob Anders has failed in his second attempt at new political life, losing the Conservative nomination in a rural riding east of Calgary. “When it came down to buying a membership and going to vote they wanted to look for someone who actually knew about their community.” Anders is known for his strong social conservative views and gained attention for his sometimes inflammatory statements, including his opposition to granting honorary citizenship to Nelson Mandela, branding the South African leader a communist and a terrorist. He once compared the 2008 Beijing Olympics to the 1936 Berlin Games, which were held when the Nazis governed Germany. In 2012, Anders was dropped from the Commons veterans affairs committee after he lashed out at a veterans support group that had criticized him for falling asleep during a committee meeting. He later apologized for saying his critics were NDP “hacks.”

BROOKS — In the end he never even showed up to hear the final results. Calgary MP Rob Anders, whose controversies spanned the last 17 years, was beaten Saturday in this rural riding east of Calgary where he had hoped to resurrect his flagging political career. Anders had sought the Conservative nomination in the new riding of Bow River, which covers a big swath of southern Alberta east of Calgary, including the communities of Strathmore, Brooks, Taber and Vauxhall. He decided to make a second attempt after losing a bitterly fought battle in Calgary Signal Hill, which takes in a large part of the constituency of Calgary West that Anders represented for 17 years. Former provincial cabinet minister Ron Liepert bested Anders in that race and will represent the Conservatives in the next election set for the fall of 2015. Anders received permission to run for a second nomination. When he announced he was running he said there was still a lot of work to do in Ottawa including personal property and gun rights, cutting taxes and “family values that need to be fought for.” Anders was spotted outside the hotel where the voting took place Saturday morning but by the time the dust had settled he was nowhere to be found. The mayor of the City of Brooks, Martin Shields, who had labelled Anders a “drop-in candidate”, was named the winner. “I’m absolutely humbled that I’m in this position and thankful for the people who believe in me,” Shields told reporters immediately after the win. “I believed there were strong candidates within the riding and that people had a great choice within the riding. If someone else comes in that’s up to the voters to determine if that’s a suitable candidate from outside,” he added. As for Anders’ absence from the final results Shields just shrugged. “So be it. It’s their choice whether they’re here or not. Three of us were,” he said. Shields recognized that Anders’ entry into the race sparked a lot of public interest - particularly in the media. But he said that wasn’t what won the nomination. “I think there was interest sparked in the media but I think that the people in the communities that I talked to were interested if you knew about them,” he said.

Telus tower powered down during incident Power to the Telus communications tower in Red Deer was temporarily shut down by the company after a man climbed it Friday night. While cell phone service wasn’t affected, it could have had an impact on coverage in the area, Telus spokesman Chris Gerritsen said Saturday. The tower, located in Highland Green, is protected with a tall fence and strong locks but the person was determined to gain access, he said. “It’s a highly secure site.” Powering down the tower would have forced other towers in the area to carry a higher than normal volume of customers, he said. At about 8 p.m. Friday evening the City of Red Deer put out a message on social media, Twitter in this case, that stated: “Telus is asking Red Deerians to limit cell service for the next few hours in the city other than emergencies due to a main tower issue.” About an hour later the city tweeted: “Thanks for your assistance, Red Deer, you may resume full cell phone usage.”
Gerritsen said the power was turned off at the tower as a precaution. “First and foremost we’re relieved this didn’t end in tragedy ... we were contacted by emergency responders and we supported them.” “It’s an extremely dangerous thing to do. There’s a lot of electricity going to the tower.” A thunderstorm rolled through Red Deer at about the same time as well. The incident ended after a couple of hours, and no other details were provided. The Advocate was unable to reach Red Deer RCMP for further details about the incident. There is an active investigation and Telus is working with law enforcement, Gerritsen said.

LETHBRIDGE — An Alberta teenager who was suspended for selling pop from his locker says he’s still selling soda, just not on school property where sales of the sugary drinks aren’t allowed. Keenan Shaw says he’s continuing to sell drinks on the sidewalk beside Winston Churchill High School in Lethbridge. Shaw, who’s 17 and in Grade 12, says he stores the pop in his locker, which he says school officials so far don’t seem to have a problem with. Earlier this month, Shaw was suspended briefly after he was caught in the hallways selling soda to students even though he’d been warned to stop. The school only sells diet soda, and Shaw was buying cases of regular pop in stores and then selling the cans to his classmates at a markup. News of Shaw’s suspension made international headlines and even got a mention on a U.S. latenight talk show. “It got me a lot more advertising,” Shaw said about the effect the publicity had on his sales. “I feel like everyone knows about it now.” “I can store it at school. I can bring it to school. I can drink it at school. “I just can’t sell it (at school.)” Lethbridge School District No. 51 superintendent Cheryl Gilmore told the Lethbridge Herald earlier this month that selling pop in the school “is not in keeping with the jurisdiction focus on Health Schools and Healthy Nutritional Choices policy.” She also noted that schools “are not open door public places where anyone can bring and sell whatever they want.” Shaw’s mother, Alyssa Shaw-Letourneau, said she felt the school over-reacted by suspending her son. She said if parents don’t want their kids drinking pop, they should give them a lunch rather than sending them to school with lunch money. Shaw-Letourneau also said it was good for students to question authority and not to accept things blindly, and pointed out a vending machine at the school sells vitamin water that states on the label it’s not suitable for children. “Selling a couple of cans of pop, I would view it like running a lemonade stand,” Shaw-Letourneau said. “Sometimes you do have to question things.” Shaw said he doesn’t believe the anti-pop policy discourages teens from drinking the stuff. “I don’t think they’re doing anything by restricting the sale of pop besides losing money, because kids are just going to go other places for it, whether it’s to me or 7-Eleven or Safeway or any of the other various stores that are just a five-minute walk away,” Shaw said, noting his conscience is clean. “When they’re selling aspartame, and there’s actually been numerous studies that prove it’s worse for you, I don’t feel any remorse for it.” Shaw said a few kids at school have even joked they might jump into the pop business, too, but so far he doesn’t have any competitors. “I’ve told people go ahead, I don’t care,” he said, noting he could expand into other treats. “There’s definitely other things I could make money on besides pop.”

Alberta’s decisive premier IF HE KEEPS THIS UP, JIM PRENTICE MIGHT EVEN GET THE PCS RE-ELECTED It might be a little early to start describing him as Captain Canada, but Jim Prentice is well on his way to winning over skeptics in his home province of Alberta. There were more than a few pundits who questioned the judgment of Prentice, a former federal cabinet minister, when he left a comfortable, influential and lucrative position with CIBC DOUG to run for the FIRBY leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party in Alberta. While winning the leadership would make him premier, the job has all the markings of a poisoned chalice. At 43 years, the Alberta PC government is now officially the longest serving provincial government in Canadian history, and signs of rot are everywhere. Worse, the previous premier, Alison Redford, had worked the people of the province into a fury with her mind-
INSIGHT
boggling sense of entitlement, realized through outrageous travel bills and taxpayer-funded palaces. All of this put the ruling party way down in the polls, fueling speculation that the country’s longest-standing political dynasty was about to face the final curtain. What sensible businessman would take on a job like this? Prentice, meanwhile, was saying it would no longer be business as usual, and he punctuated his message with the appointment of a 20-member provincial cabinet, down one-third in size from the previous crew — and with two unelected ministers. If critics didn’t get the message already, he declared the province to be “under new management.” Yeah right, voters said. We’ve heard this story before. Four dramatic actions early in Prentice’s term suggest he may be the real deal. First, in a move both symbolic and practical, he guided his cabinet to agree to sell the province’s controversial fleet of four aircraft — the very planes Redford used as a personal taxi service for her and her daughter. Ministers will now have to use commercial aircraft, and under tight rules. Good PR move. Second, he cancelled the contentious reworking of the design of the
province’s licence plates, saying they province had much higher priorities than that politically driven project. And Third, he announced on Friday that Red Deer’s Michener Centre, home to severely developmentally delayed, would remain open, 18 months after Redford announced its closure. Fourth, and much more significantly, he has hit the ground running on addressing the climate change issue head-on. As the country’s energy capital, Alberta has been bedeviled by how to deal with the need to harvest bitumen from the oilsands in the north while also gaining “social licence” — public support, really — to operate. To environmentalists, the oilsands will always be evil. Prentice has cleverly acted on the perfect counterpoint: coal. To more than offset any new emissions from increased production of bitumen, Prentice is putting into place a dramatic new climate change strategy. Key to this is the closing of many of the province’s aging coal plants while concurrently upping the spending on renewables, like wind and solar. The premier points out that 85 per cent of its electricity comes from coal-fired plants near the end of their life-cycles, and 40 per cent of carbon emissions in the world come from that fuel.
He also said this 20-year climate plan will help position the province as an environmental leader. One of the potential spin-off benefits to this strategy is an easing of resistance to pipeline construction. Prentice fears that unless pipeline capacity is added, the province will reach a choke point within five years. With more oil than markets to send it to prices could crash, bring down not just the province’s economy, but the entire country’s. This is where the Captain Canada theme comes in. If Prentice can help break down the walls and open up markets for Canadian oil, not only does that bode well for Alberta, it also means a lot to the future prosperity of the country. With Central Canada in a prolonged economic downturn, Alberta’s jobs, contracts and — let’s face it — transfer payments will be the engine that keeps the country’s wheels turning. Hold the cape, however: He needs to score some successes before we celebrate. But the early signs point to the first Alberta premier in a generation who gets it. If he keeps this up, the PCs might even get re-elected. Doug Firby is editor-in-chief of Troy Media and a national affairs columnist. See more at troymedia.com.

The value of the outdoor classroom Children belong outdoors. We know this intuitively, but now an extensive and ever-growing body of research supports it. Kids who spend time outside every day are healthier, happier, more creative, less stressed and more alert than those who don’t. Several recent studies even show time in nature or green space helps reduce ADHD symptoms. But what about teachers who take children outdoors, contributing to their learning and growth? More alert, calm and creative students are a plus to them as educators. DAVID Could they also benefit as inSUZUKI dividuals from taking students outside every day? With most of Canada’s educators back from the summer break, facing the many challenges that contribute to the country’s high rates of teacher attrition — from increasing class sizes to mounting curriculum expectations — it’s a good time to ask: How can “nature as classroom” support teacher well-being? So far, only a few studies focus on the benefits of green time for teachers, but those indicate that teaching in nature has great effects. A study out of the U.K.’s King’s College London suggests teaching outdoors makes educators more confident and enthusiastic about their work, and more innovative in their teaching strategies. By extension, schools benefit from the leadership and influence of their teachers who take students outside.

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Fred Gorman Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director
Rob Ridley, field centre co-ordinator with Ontario’s Peel District School Board, says he has seen many educators gain confidence and renew their interest in teaching simply from taking their classes outdoors. “Going outside takes away the boundaries of your classroom walls,” he says. “It opens you up to new ideas and lesson plans. You’ll step outside to study science or social studies, and suddenly you’ll see ways to connect it to math or language arts.” Hopi Martin, who teaches at the Toronto District School Board’s Forest Valley Outdoor Education Centre, agrees: “Teaching outdoors demands that we respond to the wonder of students and opportunities that arise. I could have a beautiful lesson on tree identification prepared that gets totally derailed by the discovery of ants on a tree. Going outside has made me a stronger, more innovative, more resilient teacher.” For Michael Mendoza, a teacher-librarian at Wilmington Elementary School in Toronto who regularly takes students outdoors, it’s seeing “an immediate absorption of knowledge, and the students’ contagious eagerness and curiosity” that refreshes and inspires him as an educator. On a personal note, he adds, “Being outside makes me feel more awake and alive.” “The fact is, teachers aren’t just teachers, they’re human beings,” says Aryne Sheppard, senior public engagement specialist at the David Suzuki Foundation. “And research has shown time and again that nature makes humans happier, less irritable, and more creative and generous. Teaching is stressful work, and nature provides a powerful stress buffer.” Despite all the benefits for students and edu-

cators, moving classes outdoors can be daunting. Teachers cite a host of barriers, from parental concerns to lack of time, confidence and support from administration. So how can a teacher ease in (or jump right in) to teaching outside? Ridley suggests joining forces with fellow educators for support and advice. Mendoza also seeks out guidance from outdoor enthusiasts. Several online communities exist to help and inspire, like the popular weekly #EnviroEd Twitter chats. Organizations all across the country, including the David Suzuki Foundation, offer workshops for educators interested in taking students outside. These often include sample activities, logistical tips and advice for getting parents and administration on-board. And many of the same organizations have published excellent educational resources for teaching outdoors. The Foundation’s own Connecting With Nature guides for kindergarten through Grade 8 are full of lesson plans, step-by-step instructions and ideas for engaging local communities. So while the idea of moving science or math class outdoors might be unnerving at first, the end result is more than worth it, for the well-being of everyone involved. “If teachers are happy and connected to nature, they can pass that on to their students,” Sheppard says. “They can be the role models parents want for their children — role models the world needs.” After all, those who learn to appreciate and love nature are more likely to protect it.

Teachers strike fosters engagement from students and parents BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
B.C
VANCOUVER — Many parents and students in B.C. are relieved school is finally starting on Monday after three weeks of delay, and some say there is even a silver lining to the provincewide teachers strike. Half a million students are going back to school after more than 40,000 of the province’s public school teachers went on strike in June, shuttering classes for five weeks in two separate school years. Teachers and government reached a deal last week to end the job action. Nicole Makohoniuk, president of the B.C. Confederation of Parental Advisory Councils, said more parents and guardians appear to be engaged with the education system as a result of the job action. “There’ve been parents showing up to meetings in greater numbers, there’ve been parents writing letters, social media, sharing what they believe,” Makohoniuk said. “It’s been very exciting times for us.” Jing Wang, a Grade 12 student from Prince Of Wales Secondary, said the strike has increased students’ awareness of the school system. “From the dispute I think we’ve learned a little more about communication and about the B.C. education system,” said the 16-year-old. “I did see quite a few more kids start getting a little more engaged.” Angelica Poversky, a Grade 11 student from a Vancouver-area suburb, appears to be one of those kids. “I definitely am more aware of what’s going on and a lot of youth are more aware of what’s going on, which is definitely a positive,” said Poversky, who attends McMath Secondary in Richmond. The 16-year-old said the strike has made her more aware of the details of how schools are run, such as class size and support staff levels, key issues in the dispute. Edward Le, a Grade 12 student at Sir Winston Churchill Secondary in Vancouver, said the strike has stirred up youth who were not interested in local politics. “I feel that the strike when it hit so much at home for us young people — and the civic engagement it brings — would definitely be good for democracy and our society,” the 17-year-old said. But while some students have said they are relieved to be back in school, there are challenges that come with a shortened school year, especially for those who are eyeing post-secondary education. Applications for colleges and universities are looming, and some students are concerned they’ve lost precious time that could have been used for polishing their admissions forms. “As a senior student talking with my friends and classmates, there’s such a huge sense of worry in terms of ’will we get our applications in on time,”’ Wang said. “Even if we get our applications in, how would we be looked at compared to students in other provinces?” Wang said the delayed start of classes could stifle her chances of receiving some scholarships since applications are due as early as October and she’s uncertain if her marks will be available that soon. Poversky trying to get into Pearson College, which requires transcripts and teacher references to be submitted in the December of students’ Grade 11 year, and she concerned she’s lost valuable time that could’ve been used to acquire solid references. “I’m definitely really worried about that,” she said “We missed a lot of school.” But some schools said they will be do everything they can to accommodate B.C. students affected by the strike. Dominic Ali, spokesman for the University of Toronto, said his school will work closely with B.C.’s Ministry of Education to figure out a solution to any potential
problems. “The University of Toronto will not disadvantage students who cannot present the usual required documents for reasons outside their control,” he said in an email statement. Kathleen Massey, the registrar for McGill University, said she will also be looking to B.C. school boards for guidance on admissions and added the post-secondary institution has been flexible with admitting students who missed class in June because of the strike. Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said provincial exams may have to be rescheduled but classes will not be extended to make up for the three weeks of the new school year that teachers were on strike. Depending on the district, classes are expected to start either Monday or Tuesday. The new deal for teachers spans six years and includes a 7.25 per cent salary increase, improvements in extended health benefits and the teaching-on-call rates, as well as a $400 million education fund to hire specialist teachers. It provides an additional $105 million to address retroactive grievances related to a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that found the province violated teachers’ rights when the government stripped them of their ability to bargain for class size and support staff levels in 2002.
But aside from the grievance fund, there were no developments on class size and support, as both sides will take that debate to court. The province is appealing the B.C. Supreme Court decision and a hearing
is scheduled next month. School support staff will also be back in class and about 46 per cent of the workers have also signed deals with the province giving them a 5.5 per cent wage increase over five years.

Federal government’s plan to revoke passports raises human rights concerns MONTREAL — A human rights lawyer is raising concern about the federal government’s plan to strip Canadian passports of those suspected of travelling abroad to join extremist groups. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has confirmed it is “revoking and refusing passports to those going abroad to take part in terrorist activities.” Lorne Waldman, the head of the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, says he’s worried the government might use its powers arbitrarily. Waldman likened the practice to Canada’s secretive no-fly list, which civil liberties groups have argued violates the right to due process. In the case of passport revocation, Waldman says there are at least legal avenues available for people to appeal such a decision through the courts. But he said there should be assurances that power is used fairly by Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander. “The Passport Order gives the minister the right to deny passports if there were issues of national security,” Waldman said Sunday. “Now, that’s pretty vague and pretty broad, and the minister is going to have to justify it in some way or another.” The measure comes amid growing concern about the potential for homegrown terrorism. A Public Safety Canada report released last month said there were about 130 individuals suspected of terror-related activities abroad at the beginning of 2014. About 30 people with Canadian connections were suspected of terror activities in Syria. In an emailed statement, Citizenship and Immigration Canada spokesman Kevin Menard said the government is “taking a strong stance against terrorism and we will revoke citizenship and strip passports from those who seek to harm our country.”

Abortion-rights activists push for change in New Brunswick ahead of election MONTREAL — Abortion-rights activists in Montreal denounced the lack of access to abortion in New Brunswick ahead of Monday’s election in the Maritime province. They say access has become an even bigger problem following July’s closure of Fredericton’s Morgentaler Clinic, and they’ll be pressing the next government to make changes. With the private clinic now closed, a woman in New Brunswick must get two doctors to say in writing that it’s medically necessary before having the procedure carried out in one of two approved hospitals. Activists also called for improved access in rural areas, across Canada’s north and on Prince Edward Island. Protests were planned today in Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax, and Charlottetown as well several locations in New Brunswick. The Morgentaler Clinic cited losses of about $100,000 over the last decade in its decision to shut down after 20 years, saying it couldn’t afford to continue providing abortions that are not publicly funded. In Montreal, activists used an unusual approach to get their point across, holding what organizers described as a “uterus pageant.” It featured women dressed up as uteruses, answering “questions about their hopes for a more just world where they might feel healthy and at home.”
TORONTO — The first court phase of a legal fight aimed at scuttling what would be one of Ontario’s largest wind-energy developments kicks off Monday with a farm family trying to force an immediate stop to its construction. Documents filed in support of their request show Shawn and Tricia Drennan are concerned about the potential harm the 140-turbine K2 Wind project near Goderich, Ont., could cause them. The Drennans are asking Divisional Court for an injunction against the ongoing construction of the facility pending resolution of an appeal against the project. They note Health Canada is currently doing a study to understand the impact industrial wind projects have on nearby residents. “In effect, our government has relegated the appellants to guinea pigs in the name of green energy,” their factum states. “The fear and anxiety with being a guinea pig is only further heightened by the knowledge that the Ontario Ministry of the Environment has placed a moratorium on off-shore wind turbines because the environmental impact on the fish is not known.” Joining them in the construction stay application filed in London, Ont., are the Dixon and Ryan families, who are fighting the 15-turbine St. Columban
wind project near Seaforth, Ont. The Dixons argue construction noise will hurt their eight-year-old daughter, who suffers from hearing hypersensitivity. Both K2 Wind Ontario and St. Columban Energy argue their projects are safe, have the required permits, and that stopping construction now would have serious financial consequences. The say the projects underwent an extensive approval process that included two years of planning and various environmental studies. In its factum, K2 Wind says the appeal will be heard long before the turbines are operational, so there is no immediate health threat warranting a stay. “In contrast to the lack of harm the appellants will suffer if this motion is not granted,” the company argues, “K2 Wind could suffer serious financial consequences from even a minor delay in construction — consequences that could put the entire K2 project at risk.” Ontario has seen several fights over wind farms. Some citizens are implacably opposed to them on the grounds they make area residents and animals ill, are an eyesore, lower property values, and are pushing up the price of electricity. Premier Kathleen Wynne and her Liberal caucus were heckled this past week at the International Plowing Match in the hamlet of Ivy, Ont, in part because of opposition to Liberal pro-wind policies.

Hockeyville Fun Fair
BY ADVOCATE STAFF Sylvan Lakers were “Happy” to get their Kraft Hockeyville celebrations underway Sunday afternoon. Just a little over an hour into the Community Fun Fair that kicked off the festivities in Centennial Park in Sylvan Lake, Pharrell Williams’ Happy started blasting from Spandy Andy’s boom box and the Fun Fair turned into an impromptu party. Dancers from Sylvan Studios helped get the crowd dancing, before they settled down just long enough to hear a heartfelt speech from Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre thanking the community, volunteers and organizations involved with Kraft Hockeyville, “We’re still down an arena, but soon we’ll start to rebuild” McIntyre said. “What’s most important, when building the biggest project our community has ever undertaken, is that you start with a strong foundation, and that foundation has been built up in each other. “We’re thankful for you Sylvan Lakers.” The speech was then followed by a performance by Sylvan Lake’s own West of the Fifth band, while fair-goers took part in the many Hockeyville related activities. Bouncy castles, box hockey and roping were all available for children to try, while families had opportunity to have their picture taken with Lord Stanley’s mug for the second time this summer. Former Calgary Flames Jamie Macoun and Rhett Warrener were on hand for autographs as well as former Arizona Coyotes (then Phoenix Coyotes) Brian Savage and Nick Boynton. However, while the fun started on Sunday, most are looking ahead to the preseason game between the Calgary Flames and Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday. “Even though it’s 26 degrees out,” McIntyre said, “there’s still a chill in the air and the leaves are still turning. Fall is upon us and soon, the official start of hockey season.”

Oliver touts stimulus model BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SYDNEY, Australia — Different economic situations require different approaches to meeting the G20’s economic targets, Canada’s finance minister said Sunday as he urged Europeans to follow Canada’s recession-busting model. Though finance chiefs from the 20 largest economies said they will focus on infrastructure investment to help reach the goal of boosting world GDP by more than $2 trillion over the next five years, that’s not the necessarily the direction Canada is headed, Joe Oliver said. “The type of action that we can take is different than the type of action that some, but not all, European countries have to take,” Oliver told reporters in a conference call from Sydney where he was leaving the G20 finance minis-
G20 FINANCE MINISTERS MEETING ters’ latest talks. Oliver said the government’s stimulus program from 2008 achieved its desired goals. Now, Oliver said, economic growth in Canada will come from increased labour mobility, lower taxes, trade and he hinted that more will be revealed in the next federal budget. By contrast, some European economies are still fighting an uphill battle, Oliver said. “We need to provide flexibility for some countries to undertake the actions and some structural changes as well to get the growth going,” he said. “It should be done in the same way — a timely, targeted program which is temporary and where a credible plan to achieve a fiscal balance is set out and pursued when the need for a more
stimulative program becomes less important.” Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey, who hosted the Group of 20 meeting in the northern Australian city of Cairns, said the G20 finance ministers and central bankers had agreed to more than 900 policy initiatives to meet the global GDP goal they set in February during a gathering in Sydney. The G20, which represents about 85 per cent of the global economy, said an analysis of those initiatives show they should boost the combined gross domestic product of member countries by 1.8 per cent above levels expected for the next five years — just short of the group’s target of 2 per cent. Hockey said the group had agreed to shift its focus from government-led growth to private sector-led growth,
particularly from additional investment in infrastructure. In a communique issued after the meeting, the G20 outlined a Global Infrastructure Initiative, which would include the development of a database to help match potential investors with projects. In July, the International Monetary Fund downgraded its economic forecast, estimating the world economy would expand 3.4 per cent this year, rather than the 3.7 per cent it had previously predicted, due to weaker growth in the U.S., Russia and developing economies. The G20 represents the world’s major industrialized and developing countries. Its members are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union.

Chrysler recalling nearly 189,000 SUVs BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Chrysler is recalling almost 189,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos in the U.S. to fix a fuel pump problem that can cause the SUVs to stall. But a safety advocate says the recall doesn’t cover enough models, contending the same problem can happen in millions of other Chrysler, Jeep and Ram vehicles. The recall, posted Saturday by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, covers some 2011 models with 3.6-litre V6 or 5.7-litre V8 engines. Chrysler says a relay can fail, increasing the risk of a crash, although the company said that as of Aug. 25, it wasn’t aware of any crashes or injuries. The company began looking into the problem in October of 2013 and traced it to a spring that can become deformed because of heat. The vehicles also might not start, and the fuel pump could keep working even when the engine is shut off. The
company says that as of Aug. 25 it’s not aware of any crashes or injuries from the problem. The recall covers SUVs built from Jan. 25, 2010 through July 20, 2011, according to the NHTSA documents. Dealers will replace the fuel pump relay for free starting Oct. 24. The Center for Auto Safety, a nonprofit advocacy group founded by Ralph Nader, says the recall is inadequate because more than 5 million other Chrysler vehicles have the same fuel pump power control module as the Grand Cherokee and Durango.
“Chrysler should recall them all,” Clarence Ditlow, the centre’s executive director, said Saturday. Ditlow’s group filed a petition last month asking NHTSA to investigate power system failures in Chrysler vehicles that could cause them to stall while being driven. In the petition, the group contended that an electrical power control module used by Chrysler in millions of vehicles since 2007 can go haywire, causing them to stall in traffic and cut off devices powered by electricity.
Foreign investments play role in asset mix Global investing can be an attractive and alluring prospect, but for many investors placing their money in foreign equities or markets also can be a bit uncomfortable. There are several reasons to consider foreign investments in your portfolio. For one thing, Canada represents only four per cent of the world’s equity markets, so by restricting yourself only to Canadian investments you are effectively cutting yourself off from most of the world’s investing opportunities. As well, the Canadian TALBOT economy is BOGGS very heavily influenced by the U.S. When they do well, our economy and markets tend to perform well. But when they struggle, so do we. Global investing does have one risk that Canadian investments generally don’t — currency risk. Currency fluctuations and risk are definitely factors to be considered, but they can be hedged through mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs). Getting foreign exposure in your
MONEYWISE
portfolio probably is easier today than it ever has been. Investors can gain access to foreign markets in a number of ways, including mutual funds which invest in many geographic areas, ETFs which track foreign market indices, Canadian bonds denominated in a foreign currency or mutual funds owning foreign currency bonds, and through Canadian companies with foreign interests or mutual funds that hold businesses with foreign interests. “A lot of investors are pretty comfortable with investing in Canada and North America, but beyond that their familiarity diminishes greatly,” said Pat Connor, an investment adviser with Edward Jones in Ottawa. “For many people, it’s a comfort issue, which is why it’s important to have an adviser who will provide good guidance and not just say what the client wants to hear.” Foreign investments can be a crucial part of the asset mix of any portfolio and will vary depending on the level of aggressiveness and risk. Asset mix, or the allocation of stocks, bonds and cash within a portfolio, should include both strategic and tactical elements, according to the RBC Royal Bank summer 2014 global investment outlook. The strategic asset mix is the anchor of the portfolio and addresses the blend of the major asset classes offering the risk/return trade-off best suited to the investor’s profile. The tactical asset allocation refers to the fine-tun-
ing around the strategic mix to add value by taking advantage of shorter term fluctuations in markets. RBC has developed five investor profiles, ranging from very conservative to aggressive, with a strategic asset mix assigned for each. “As investors accept increasing levels of volatility and therefore greater risk, the potential for returns rises,” the report says. Very conservative investors will seek income with maximum capital preservation and the potential for modest growth, and will be comfortable with small fluctuations in the portfolio’s value. This portfolio would typically contain five per cent in cash or cash equivalents, 75 per cent in fixed income and 20 per cent in equities: 10 per cent Canadian equities, five per cent U.S. equities and five per cent international equities. Conservative investors will pursue modest income and capital growth with reasonable capital preservation and will be comfortable with moderate fluctuations in portfolio value. It will consist of five per cent cash, 60 per cent fixed income, 15 per cent Canadian equities, 10 per cent U.S. equities and 10 per cent international equities. The balanced portfolio is appropriate for those wanting balance between long-term capital growth and capital preservation, with a secondary focus on modest income and a comfort level with modest value fluctuations. This portfolio consists of five per

cent cash, 40 per cent fixed income, 20 per cent Canadian equities, 20 per cent U.S. equities, 12 per cent international equities and three per cent emerging markets equities. Growth investors seek long-term growth over capital preservation and regular income and are comfortable with considerable fluctuations: five per cent cash, 25 per cent fixed income, 25 per cent Canadian equities, 25 per cent U.S. equities, 16 per cent international equities and four per cent emerging markets equities. And aggressive growth investors seek maximum long-term growth over capital preservation and regular income and are comfortable with significant fluctuations. This portfolio is almost 100 per cent invested in stocks and emphasizes exposure to global equities — five per cent cash, 35 per cent Canadian equities, 30 per cent U.S. equities , 22.5 per cent international equities and 7.5 per cent emerging markets equities. Take a look at your portfolio to find out how much is invested globally and domestically and consult a financial adviser who knows and understands foreign markets to be sure you are getting proper investments, exposure and diversification that suits your goals and risk tolerance.

Markets expected to take a breather this week BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
MARKET LOOK AHEAD
TORONTO — Financial markets can look forward to some relative calm this week, with little in the way of key economic data expected in either Canada or the United States. However, traders will be watching the latest earnings report from smartphone maker BlackBerry (TSX:BB) on Friday. CEO John Chen was hired last year to reshape the troubled company, which has cut costs and refocused its product and service offerings. It’s expected to release a smartphone dubbed the Classic and a new format device called the Passport by the end of the month. Meanwhile, this week will be a marked change from recent trading sessions, which included unease over the independence referendum in Scotland in which Scots voted to remain in the United Kingdom and the latest interest rate announcement from the Federal Reserve in which the U.S. central bank took a stand pat stance. The volatile end to the week, resulted in the TSX shedding 1.71 per cent, while the Dow finished the week ahead 1.72 per cent. “It’s pretty quiet everywhere for news,” said Colin Cieszynski, a market analyst with CMCMarkets. “People will have a chance to catch their breath after the week we just had.” There will be two reports on both sides of the border that will be of interest, because they have the potential to give markets an idea of how the economy is faring. Canadian retail sales for July will be released Tuesday, with analysts expecting a bump of 0.4 per cent year over year. And Thursday will see the release of U.S. durable goods orders for August, which are expected to show a drop of 17.7 per cent after having risen 22 per cent in July. Although it’ll be a decline, most business surveys still expect there to be a continued positive trend in manu-
facturing orders. “Don’t let the headline reading fool you, August’s orders figures are likely to remain consistent with a steady uptrend in business capital spending,” said Andrew Grantham, an economist with CIBC World Markets, in a research note. “Such investment should be positive for GDP in the second half of 2014 and we expect business spending to remain a driver of growth in 2015 as well.” Kash Pashootan, vice-president and portfolio manager at First Avenue Advisory in Ottawa, a Raymond James Company, said with little else to take up investor attention this week, many will focus on the future outlook for markets once the Fed’s quantitative easing program wraps up at the end of October. Last week, the Fed announced that it was scaling back its bond buying program by another US$10 billion a month. The purchases have fuelled stock markets and kept long-term borrowing rates low. “The biggest factor as we head to the end of October is how will markets react to quantitative easing ending,” he said. “The last few times it ended, the markets sold off... but with market valuations being high in the short-term, and the run that the markets have had, valuations are not cheap. Combine that with quantitative easing ending and there is reasonable evidence that we will see a modest sell-off in the market.” One factor that Pashootan points out is that the economic conditions this time around are supportive of the stimulus ending. “The U.S. economy is in much better shape. Unemployment is lower than it was, and the overall confidence is stronger,” he said. “But it’s still reasonable to expect to see some sort of correction.”

Huang said the witnesses told him five people were detained by police but three were quickly released. The county Communist Party branch promised in a statement “absolutely not to decide the location” of the incinerator without a scientific investigation and public approval. China has some of the world’s most polluted air, water and soil, and communist authorities face mounting resistance to construction of chemical plants and other facilities residents worry will endanger their health. In May, a protest over a planned waste incinerator in the eastern city of Hangzhou left at least 10 demonstrators and 29 police officers injured. In Boluo County, some 3,000 to 4,000 people took part in protests last weekend. Police said 24 people were detained for investigation. It said local authorities “respect the public’s opinion” and said the government would accept suggestions from the public about the location of the incinerator from Sept. 19 through Dec. 19.

Western Mexico state issues alerts for new copper mine spill into river HERMOSILLO, Mexico — Authorities in northern Mexico have issued a new alert of a river spill from a copper mine operated by Grupo Mexico, the state director of civil protection said Sunday. The agency is urging people to avoid using the water from after local municipalities complained of a toxic plume, said Carlos Arias, civil protection director for the border state of Sonora, where the spill occurred. Arias said the tributaries affected drain into the Bacanuchi River. A flyover of the area shows an abnormal orange stain, he added. He said his department is taking measures to ensure people don’t come in contact with the water until it can be tested. A storm water overflow after excessive rains from Hurricane Odile caused toxic water from the Buenavista copper mine to leach into some creeks and streams, the company said in a statement Sunday. It said it contained the spill with pumps and suction. It didn’t identify the leaked substance. Grupo Mexico operates the $1 billion-a year Buenavista mine in Cananea, Sonora, producing 200,000 tons of copper.
Chinese town protests for second weekend over planned trash incinerator BEIJING — Residents of a town in southern China who oppose a planned trash incinerator have protested for a second weekend and the local government promised not to proceed without public approval. People “illegally gathered” on Saturday to protest in Boluo County in Guangdong, according to a statement by police. It gave no details but vowed to “firmly attack” people who try to disrupt social order. A local resident reached by phone, who would give only his surname, Huang, said witnesses told him several hundred people were involved.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FL Sunday.
SpaceX launches fresh space station supplies INCLUDING FIRST 3-D PRINTER BOUND FOR ORBIT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A SpaceX cargo ship rocketed toward the International Space Station on Sunday, carrying the first 3-D printer for astronauts in orbit. In all, the unmanned Dragon capsule is delivering more than 5,000 pounds of space station supplies for NASA. Dragon should reach the space station Tuesday. It’s the fifth station shipment for the California-based SpaceX, one of two new commercial winners in the race to start launching Americans again from home soil. The space station was soaring over the South Pacific when the SpaceX Falcon 9 thundered into Florida’s predawn sky. Sunday’s weather was ideal for flying, unlike Saturday, when rain forced a delay. The rocket was visible for nearly three minutes as it sped out over the Atlantic. Sunday was a redletter day for NASA in more ways than one. Besides the flawless launch, the space agency’s Maven spacecraft was on the verge of reaching Mars. The robotic explorer was scheduled to go into orbit around Mars late Sunday night. The space station-bound 3-D printer was developed by Made in Space, another California company. It’s sturdier than Earthly models to withstand the stresses of launch, and meets NASA’s strict safety standards. The space agency envisions astronauts one day cranking out spare parts as needed. For now, it’s a technology demonstra-
tor, with a bigger and better model to follow next year. A $30 million device for measuring ocean winds is also flying up on Dragon, along with 20 mice and 30 fruit flies for biological research and metal samples for a golf club manufacturer looking to improve its products. Much-needed spacesuit batteries are on board as well, along with the usual stash of food, clothes and electronic gear. Routine U.S. spacewalks were put on hold following last year’s close call with an astronaut’s flooded helmet. That problem was solved, then the battery fuses were called into question. NASA hopes to resume spacewalks next month. NASA is paying SpaceX and Virginia-based Orbital Sciences Corp. to make regular station deliveries. The SpaceX service began two years ago. Just this past week, SpaceX — led by billionaire Elon Musk — won an even bigger and more prestigious contract to transport U.S. astronauts to the orbiting outpost, along with Boeing. Dragon rides could begin as early as 2016 or 2017. NASA’s ability to launch its own crews ended with the shuttle program in 2011. Russia has been providing rides on its Soyuz spacecraft for a hefty price. Another American astronaut is scheduled to blast off from Kazakhstan aboard a Russian Soyuz later this week, along with two Russians, one of them a woman, a rarity for Russia. They will join the one American, one Russian and one German already in orbit.

‘Once’ Canadian stars to visit characters’ homelands BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this image released by 20th Century Fox, Dylan O’Brien appears in a scene from the film, ‘The Maze Runner.’
‘The Maze Runner’ leads the way at box office BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The young-adult adaptation “The Maze Runner” raced to the top of the box-office with $32.5 million, giving a budding franchise a quick start out of the gate. The 20th Century Fox release easily outpaced the $13.1 million debut of Liam Neeson’s hardboiled private eye thriller A Walk Among the Tombstones and the $11.9 million opening for the ensemble-cast dramedy This Is Where I Leave You, according to studio estimates Sunday. The strong opening for The Maze Runner, adapted from James Dashner’s science-fiction YA novel, is a big success for a movie that cost $34 million to make and was released in the normally quiet month of September. Fox aimed to make the film — about a group of teenage boys mysteriously locked inside a giant maze — the first post-summer event movie, putting it on IMAX and large-format screens. “Our little $34 million-budgeted film is pretty darn strong,” said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for Fox. “No one had launched a YA title in September. We took a risk, but it paid off.” Aronson said attracting young moviegoers has been “the Achilles heel” of Hollywood in recent years. But the studio has recently found success with relatively low-budget YA releases, like “The Fault in Our Stars,” the Shailene Woodley melodrama that made $125 million earlier this year despite a budget of just $12 million. “It shows the pitch-perfect strategic planning of Fox,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst
for box-office tracker Rentrak. “Teenagers are probably the most fickle creatures on the planet to figure out. So marketing to this particular group is tricky, and there have been a lot of casualties in this YA war.” But The Maze Runner, which drew a 51 per cent female audience despite an almost all-male cast, is now a promising franchise. Its opening was further boosted by $37.6 million internationally. Aronson announced Sunday that the planned sequel, The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, will bow Sept. 18 next year. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday. 1. The Maze Runner, $32.5 million ($37.6 million international). 2. A Walk Among the Tombstones, $13.1 million ($5 million international). 3. This Is Where I Leave You, $11.9 million. 4. No Good Deed, $10.2 million. 5. Dolphin Tale 2, $9 million ($1.2 million international). 6. Guardians of the Galaxy, $5.2 million ($5.2 million international). 7. Let’s Be Cops, $2.7 million ($1.5 million international). 8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, $2.7 million ($7.3 million international). 9. The Drop, $2.1 million. 10. If I Stay, $1.8 million ($3.2 million international).
TORONTO — Ian Lake and Trish Lindstrom are pulling out their songbooks and suitcases to prepare for their starring roles in an all-Canadian production of the smash musical Once. Earlier this week, Mirvish Productions announced the Stratford Festival actors will play the leads of Guy, an Irish musician who has lost his love and inspiration, and Girl, a Czech immigrant who reignites his passion for art and romance during one week in Dublin. The production is set to begin performances Feb. 10 at the Ed Mirvish Theatre, and the two are going the distance to get into character. “We start rehearsals in January and I’m going to Prague, I’m going to fly to the Czech Republic to do research,” Lindstrom said in an interview. “I’m going to be in Dublin,” added Lake. “I bought a ticket to Dublin because I thought, ’Why not?’ Just go soak it in.” Lake has performed in many Stratford productions, including Othello, Cymbeline, and Twelfth Night. Lindstrom has also taken on many productions at Stratford, including her current starring roles in Alice Through the Looking-Glass and A Midsummer Night’s Dream: A Chamber Play. The two said they first met six years ago at the Stratford Festival. They we weren’t in a show together, but they were acquaintances. “When I heard that Ian got the (role), I just breathed a sigh of relief,” said Lindstrom. “I thought, ’This is an incredible actor ... who also plays and also sings, and that was incredibly thrilling. “Also knowing that it’s somebody that I’ve been acquaintances with for years and we have so many friends in common, that really makes a difference.” Lake echoed her thoughts, noting he’s “had such a great respect for Trish’s work for a long time.” “My first season at Stratford, I saw her play Sally Bowles in’Cabaret, and then a couple of years later she was playing Miranda opposite Christopher Plummer in The Tempest, so that was sort of like, ’What can’t she do?”’ he said. “So I was really thrilled when I found out that I was going to have someone like her to play opposite, because there’s a lot of nuances in this show and there’s a lot of really delicate moments to find.” The two said there was a huge buzz in the theatre community when word came out that there would be a homegrown production of the Tony Award-winning Once, which is based on the Oscar-winning film.

SPORTS Rebels rebound with win in Calgary
B1
MONDAY, SEPT. 22, 2014 SPEED TO BURN
GOALS BY DE WIT, POLEI AND DIXON GET REBELS WIN BY ADVOCATE STAFF Rebels 4 Hitmen 1 The Red Deer Rebels took on the host Calgary Hitmen Saturday evening and looked a lot like the club that carried the play against the visiting Kootenay Ice 24 hours previous. Except this time the Rebels garnered a positive result, downing the Hitmen 4-1 on the heels of a 5-3 loss to the Ice in their Western Hockey League regular-season opener Friday at the Enmax Centrium. “The result was better and yet it was kind of a carry-over from how we played Friday night,” Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter said Sunday. The Hitmen outshot their guests 8-4 in the opening period and took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission on a power-play goal by overage import forward Pavel Padakin. But the Scotiabank Saddledome gathering of 10,321 was denied another Calgary tally the rest of the way as the Rebels dictated the pace of play through most of the final 40 minutes. “Our first period wasn’t totally what we were hoping for, but once we got our feet under us we really played well the last two periods and created a lot of offence,” said Sutter. “We played a real fast-paced game. We played quick and the time of puck possession was good for us. “We should have won the night before and it didn’t turn out for us. Last night we were rewarded.” Rookie forward Jeff de Wit got the Rebels on the board at 6:45 of the middle stanza, his wrist shot from the high slot beating a screened Hitmen netminder Mack Shields. Evan Polei notched his first of two goals — and the eventual winner — 10 minutes later when his centering pass deflected off the stick of Calgary defenceman Kirk Johnson and past Shields. Polei upped the count to 3-1 early in the third period, converting a feed from linemate Brooks Maxwell. Shields left the game at that point with what appeared to be an upper-body injury. “My indication early is that it wasn’t anything too serious,” Hitmen firstyear head coach Mark French told the Calgary Herald. Rebels defenceman Kolton Dixon added more insurance at 11:57 when his point shot hit the stick of Hitmen rearguard Michael Zipp and beyond the reach of Hitmen back-up stopper Evan Johnson. Shields made 19 saves before being replaced by Johnson, who turned aside four of the ive volleys faced over the final 15 minutes and change as the Rebels held a 23-12 advantage in shots during the last two periods. After Rebels netminder Taz Burman struggled in Friday’s loss, starting Rylan Toth against the Hitmen was a no-brainer and the rookie came through in impressive fashion while making 19 saves. “He made some big saves for us at key times,” said Sutter. “He kept us close in the first, he made some big saves that kept the game 1-0 going into the second period. Then we got our legs under us and really started playing well in the second and third periods.” The Rebels are idle until Saturday when they host the Ice for the second time in nine days. The Rebels will then head out Oct. 1 for their annual earlyseason East Division trip that opens the following night at Moose Jaw. “We have one game over the next 10 days, so we’ll have lots of practice time to continue to work on things,” said Sutter. “We want to make sure that we’re doing things right over this period of time so that we’re getting better in areas in which we need to improve.” ● Red Deer was zero-for-five on the power play. Calgary was one-for-five . . . With eight players still away at NHL training camps, the Hitmen lineup featured seven rookies. The Rebels were minus the services of defenceman Haydn Fleury and forward and captain Conner Bleackley, who are at the NHL training camps of the Carolina Hurricanes and Colorado Avalanche, while import defenceman Hugo Jansons is out with an upper-body injury and forward Brayden Burke and import rearguard Mario Grman were healthy scratches. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

RDC athletics looking to build on winning culture BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF The Red Deer College athletic department has a daunting task on their hands: producing an encore to last year. The Kings and Queens won three Canadian Colleges Athletic Association championships — men’s and women’s volleyball and women’s curling — and added another silver in men’s basketball. Most of their teams experienced a lot of turnover but athletic director Keith Hansen says a repeat of that success is the expectation but their focus is on the process. “Jokingly I say you just win more, but obviously it’s not that easy,” said Hansen, at the department’s official kick off to the new Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference season on Sunday at RDC. “The key is to focus on being excellent.” It’s a lot to follow up on. But it goes to the culture of winning that has been developed at the institution over the last several decades, they’re not breaking new ground they know full well what it takes to get to the top and stay there. “We talk about it every day, that this is elitness and we do our very best to
succeed, whether that’s in the classroom or outside of the classroom or on or off the playing fields or courts,” said women’s volleyball head coach Talbot Walton. “There’s not really any pressure from that stand point, it’s really more of a culture we’ve created.” That culture leads to expectations within the department. Clay Pottinger and the RDC Kings basketball team watched as volleyball swept nationals the week before they went to their own CCAA championship. Though the Kings came back with a silver medal following one of the most exciting final games in recent memory, losing 88-86 to the Langara Falcons, that RDC success made Potter fully aware of what was at stake. “I see it as inspiring,” Pottinger. “I really didn’t feel personally any pressure to one-up them or get up to them until we actually were in the national final game and then it dawned on me ... There was a moment right before the tip off where I was like ‘hey, we have to win because the other two teams won,’” The fact they came agonizingly short of their own banner made this a tough summer and he has yet to watch the film from the gold medal game. Winning it all once at RDC is not enough, especially in volleyball.
Kings head coach Aaron Schulha is fully aware that it is even more difficult it is to stay on top. He will have two fifth year veterans and a few other key players returning, and that should help in their quest. “It was easy for me to be able to (deal with expectations) because I was part of the eight-in-a-row as an athlete playing under Keith, but when there is that much separation before we (won again last year), it’s all just talk at that point,” he said. “To actually do it and have guys feel what it’s like and know exactly how much work we put in last year I think it’s hugely important.” These expectations also now shine on the newest member of the RDC coaching fraternity — Ken King who has taken over the women’s basketball team from Michael Wollard. “It’s a little bit daunting but it’s also nice to have the kind of coaches around me who have that kind of experience,” he said. This is his first head coaching job after being an assistant with the men’s team at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ont. There will be plenty of learning opportunities for him at RDC, but he notes he has some of the best coaches in Canada to learn from.

Oilers and Flames split preseason opening games BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Oilers 3 Flames 1 Flames 1 Oilers 0 EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers may already be wishing they had re-upped Justin Schultz for more than just a one-year bridge deal. Schultz had a goal and an assist and was named the game’s first star as the Oilers started the pre-season schedule with a 3-1 split-squad victory at home over the rival Calgary Flames on Sunday night. “I felt really good tonight. I wanted to play my game, which is jumping up in the rush, which I thought I did quite well,’’ said the third-year Oilers defenceman. “The legs were there, it was a good win tonight. “It was nice to obviously play a real game. It’s going to prepare us for the season and I thought it was a good effort from everyone.’’ Marco Roy and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored for the Oilers, while highly-touted 2014 third overall draft pick Leon Draisaitl picked up an assist in his debut. “I was a little bit nervous at the beginning,’’ Draisaitl said. ``I think that’s a little bit normal. I think I did OK, it’s still early in the season and I think once I feel more comfortable, I’ll be better. Now it’s against NHL players and that’s why they’re in that league, so it’s definitely a big difference.’’ Curtis Glencross responded with the lone goal for Calgary. “We have to be satisfied,” said
Flames associate coach Jacques Cloutier. “We had some good moments. The guys got a bit deflated after they scored their second goal. But I really liked how the guys kept going in the third period. Our forecheck was very good. Obviously we need to throw more pucks at the net. That is something we need to work on.’’ The rest of the rosters for both teams played a game in Calgary — where T.J. Brodie scored the only goal in the Flames’ 1-0 win — at the same time. In Edmonton, Draisaitl made an immediate impact in the game. Just 1:28 into the first period, Draisaitl made a nice cross-ice feed to a hard-charging Roy who sent the puck past Flames goalie Joni Ortio. The Flames tied the game up five minutes into the first on a power play as a Kris Russell point shot was deflected in the slot by Glencross, catch-

ing Edmonton starter Ben Scrivens off guard. The Oilers went up 2-1 midway through the first as Schultz carried the puck into the zone with speed and then banked a shot from behind the goal off of a Calgary defender and into the net. Edmonton took a two-goal lead with a power-play goal six and a half minutes into the second period as NugentHopkins moved in from the point and took a shot from just past the top of the face-off circle, utilizing a Greg Chase screen to beat Ortio stick-side. Ortio remained in net for the start of the third, while Edmonton switched out Scrivens for Richard Bachman. “It was good to get the whole game in,’’ Ortio said. “It felt good to kind to get my rhythm back. Even though I played that one game in Penticton (at the Young Stars rookie tournament) it is still early on in the year. I started feeling better out there as the game kept going along.’’ In the game at Calgary, T.J. Brodie scored the only goal as the Flames got a 1-0 split-squad victory over the Oilers. The goal came 2:06 into the second period on a power play. Set up nicely on a cross-ice pass from Max Reinhart, the Flames 24-year-old defenceman leaned into a slapshot and fired a laser into the top corner over Viktor Fasth’s blocker. It was the 16th shot on Fasth, who at that point in the game had been the far busier of the two goalies.

Contract-year bounce real deal among NHL’s elite performers With a new NHL season around the corner, we’re bound to hear commentators talking about which players have contracts coming up next season and whether they’ll “step up their play” in order to get that big payday. But does this actually happen? Martin Lapointe is the poster boy for this phenomenon. From 1996-97 through 1999-2000, Lapointe was remarkably consistent. He scored 16, 15, 16, and 16 goals those years, and earned right around $1 million per season for his solid productivity. The next season, 2000-01, was his “contract year”: After that season Lapointe became an unrestricted free agent. Mr. Consistency somehow managed to score 27 that season, nearly double his career high in goals, and also managed a career high in assists. His 57 points was almost 40 per cent higher than his previous best of 41, and a point shy of double his production from two years previous. Boston stepped up and paid him like a 27-goal scorer, giving him a fouryear, $20-million contract. You probably already know how this story ends. In the following five seasons Lapointe reverted to the player he was from ‘97 to ‘00, scoring 17, 8, 15, 14, and 13 goals respectively. Now before we start jumping to conclusions about players shamelessly playing their hardest only when they know their paycheques depend on it, let’s keep in mind that all players have year-to-year fluctuations in
their productivity, which means if we look at enough guys, some are going to get lucky and have that big year when they most need it. So was Lapointe just lucky, or is his story representative of how players routinely up their game at just the right moment so they can cash in when free agency rolls around? To find out, we looked at what every NHL forward who signed a new contract during the past seven seasons did in: (i) the two years before his contract year, (ii) his contract year, and (iii) the year after his contract year. If Lapointe were the norm, we would expect to see a big contract year bookended by less productive years on either side. A first cut through the data didn’t reveal anything like Lapointe’s story. On average, when a player’s contract expired at any time during our sevenyear sample, he continued to have the same points, shots on goal, and hits per 60 minutes of five-on-five ice time as he did in the two years leading up to his contract year. That said, this is one
of those situations where looking at things in the aggregate can hide some interesting effects within the group. Separating players into four quartiles based on their points per 60 minutes (five-on-five) proved to be quite revealing. The bottom half appears to be mostly players who are in a state of decline. They’re getting steadily worse year after year. The second best quartile’s numbers are roughly the same in the two years leading up to free agency, so once again no real contract year effect for that group - although that group’s productivity did decline significantly in the year after a new contract was signed. The really interesting group is the top 25 per cent. These players did see a significant increase in their performance in their contract year, but they managed to maintain that performance (or close to it) once their new contract began. So what does this all mean for a GM negotiating a contract with a forward? If the general manager is negotiating with a player who’s not among the league’s top 25 per cent in scoring, and the player’s stats have been declining,
he shouldn’t expect that to change. If a GM is negotiating with a top player, he shouldn’t focus on just the last year. The league’s top line players do seem to somehow step it up in their contract years, but fortunately for most GMs, that performance doesn’t immediately fade the following year either. In the rare situation where a player shoots the lights out in his contract year after an otherwise pedestrian career (i.e. like Martin Lapointe), the GM can be almost certain that the player just got lucky. He should sit back and let somebody else make the mistake of signing him to a big contract. Lapointe sticks out in older fans’ minds precisely because his story is unusual. The Department of Hockey Analytics employs advanced statistical methods and innovative approaches to better understand the game of hockey. Its three founderfs ate Ian Cooper, a lawyer, former playeragent and WhartonBusiness School graduate; Dr. Phil Curry, a professor of economics at the University of Waterloo; and Ijay Palansky, a litigator in Washington, D.C., former high-stakes professional poker player and harvard law School graduate.
Yankees down Blue Jays to put playoffs out of reach Yankees 5 Blue Jays 2 NEW YORK — When the Toronto Blue Jays headed home on Sunday evening after yet another loss at Yankee Stadium, they were 6 ½ games out for the AL’s second wild card with seven games to play. “It’s not looking too great,” Jose Bautista said after the 5-2 defeat. “The stars are going to have to align for us if anything’s going to happen.” Toronto has not played a post-season game since Joe Carter’s World Series-winning home run off Mitch Williams 21 years ago, and that streak of futility is not likely to end this year. A 1-6 trip to Baltimore and New York pretty much ended the Blue Jays’ already feint post-season hopes. “Obviously, it’s real disappointing,” Drew Hutchison (10-13) said after his second loss on the trip. Masahiro Tanaka made a triumphant return from an elbow injury that sidelined him for 2 ½ months, and a re-
juvenated Derek Jeter got yet another big hit on his final homestand. Toronto dropped to 3-20 at Yankee Stadium since September 2012. Tanaka started sensationally at 11-1 with a 1.99 ERA in his first 14 appearances. But he slumped in his next four and hadn’t pitched since July 8 after scans discovered a slight tear in the ulnar collateral ligament of his right elbow. Rather than opt for Tommy John surgery, which would have sidelined him for about a year, Tanaka and the Yankees chose a rehabilitation strengthening protocol. Tanaka (13-4) responded by allowing one run and five hits in 5 1-3 innings with four strikeouts, no walks and a hit batter. “He looked like he was the same guy that we faced earlier,” Bautista said. “His velocity might have been down one or two miles, but that’s not a lot. The movement was the same.” With fans in the crowd of 48,144 giving him standing ovations during every at-bat on the grey, overcast afternoon, Jeter went 2 for 4 and finished his next-
to-last home series 8 for 15 with two doubles, a home run and three RBIs. Jeter saluted the crowd after sharing postgame handshakes and high-fives with his teammates. Bautista made it a point to speak with Jeter at second base during the game. “He’s one of the most complete all-
around players that you can have or that you can think about,” Bautista said. “This is an example for all of us to follow.” Hutchison gave up solo homers to Brian McCann in the first and Brett Gardner in the fifth — the 15,000th in Yankees history since the franchise started playing in New York in 1903.

RDC: Pressure “Every single thing I do every single day is new,” he said. “I lean on (the other coaches) a bit now, but they have no idea how much I’m about to start leaning on them as the season gets underway.” Hansen fully accepts the pressure that comes with this program-wide success. “I want that excitement and I want that pressure, I really think pressure drives people to be better, drives people to be more prepared,” he said. “I don’t want the public to cut us any slack, I want them to hold us to task.” Sunday night was also a chance to celebrate the future. With the recent announcement that Red Deer will host the Canada Winter Games in 2019, it also means the Kings and Queens will have a new castle to call their own. The college will serve as the athletes village and host several events for the games, and in accordance, a new health and wellness centre will be built at a price tag that will likely go beyond $60 million. “I honestly believe we have the best athletic program in the country and we have one of the worst athletic facilities in the country, it is time for us to have a new facility,” said Hansen. Coach’s Corner host Ron MacLean took part in Sunday’s events as the keynote speaker. He and his wife Cari were tabbed as honorary chairmen of the Games and he says this is an opportunity for the city and the college to shine not

NHL: Watching Free agent signing Jonas Hiller got the start for Calgary and spent a majority of his time watching the action take place 180 feet away. Hiller was only tested twice in the first 35 minutes of the game before turning aside six shots in the final five minutes of the second period. He was replaced to start the third by Brad Thiessen, who was perfect on eight shots to share the shutout. With 19 stops through 40 minutes, Fasth gave way to former Flames draft pick Laurent Brossoit in the third period. Brossoit stopped all eight shots he faced. One of the Oilers best chances to tie the game didn’t end up in a shot on goal. Nail Yakupov broke in on a twoon-one with Teddy Purcell but had his pass across broken up by veteran blue-liner Sheldon

Brookbank, who is at Calgary’s camp on a try-out. Calgary nearly took a 2-0 lead late in the game but Corban Knight’s shot, after video review, was ruled to have gone off the crossbar. Only down one, Edmonton pulled the goalie for an extra attacker but could not pull even. The game was one of two split-squad games on the night with two teams meeting in Edmonton also. In Calgary, the Flames deployed a more starladen line-up led by its top defence pairing of Mark Giordano and Brodie, although they had different partners on this night. Up front, sophomore Sean Monahan centred Calgary’s No. 1 line with Jiri Hudler, Calgary’s leading scorer last season, and newcomer Mason Raymond. Monahan led both teams in shots with five and had another dangerous shot from closein just roll off his stick. The game also marked the long-awaited home-ice debut of 2013-14 Hobey Baker Award winner Johnny Gaudreau. The talented 5-foot-9 Flames left winger played on a line with Joe Colborne and Devin Setoguchi. The trio generated a few chances but Gaudreau, 21, did not dominate with the puck the way he was able to last weekend at the Flames rookie tournament. The Flames are next in action Wednesday night when they play the Arizona Coyotes in the Kraft Hockeyville game in Sylvan Lake. Edmonton’s next game is also Wednesday when they travel to Winnipeg to take on the Jets.

Stamps snuffed out in Montreal BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Alouettes 31 Stampeders 15 MONTREAL — With stars of the past like Ben Cahoon and Uzooma Okeke in the house, the Montreal Alouettes looked a little like the CFL East powerhouse they used to be. Jonathan Crompton, who is starting to find his range at quarterback, threw touchdown passes to James Rodgers and Duran Carter as the Alouettes ended the injury depleted Calgary Stampeders’ six-game winning run with a 31-15 victory in the Hall of Fame game on Sunday. The victory allowed Montreal (4-8) to keep pace with Hamilton and Toronto atop the woeful CFL East Division with four wins. “The race is tight, but we have to focus on ourselves,” said Crompton, now 3-1 as a starter, including 3-0 at home, since taking over from injured Troy Smith. “We control our own destiny.” Crompton completed 20 of 28 passes for 220 yards and two TDs, and wasn’t intercepted. It was perhaps Montreal’s best game of the season. They had no turnovers, took only five penalties and dominated time of possession at 36:54 “It comes with game experience,” Carter said of Crompton. “Working with us, throwing with us, and getting in a groove. We didn’t have a whole training camp to work with him. Now, we’re just scratching the surface on what we can do. “We feel we’re a good team and our record doesn’t show it. It’s our first time playing a complete football game. We’ve got a lot of talent and, when we play a good game, this is what happens.” Back-up quarterback Tanner Marsh also ran in a TD and Sean Whyte booted three field goals. Drew Tate, starting for the injured Bo Levi Mitchell, ran in a pair of TDs for Calgary (10-2). Calgary was also without star running back Jon Cornish, top receiver Marquay McDaniel and rush end Charleston Hughes. All four were hurt in a comeback win last week over Toronto. The Stamps erased a 15-1 Montreal lead to tie the game early in the second half, but the offence stalled and then coughed up turnovers on three consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter. Tate went 15-for-30 for 152 yards and was picked off once. “Drew was like the rest of the team, he needs to play better,” said Stampeders coach John Hufnagel.

Montreal Alouettes’ James Rodgers, left, fights off a tackle by Calgary Stampeders’ Joshua Bell during first half CFL football action in Montreal, Sunday. “I’m not pinning anything on Drew, but on offence, we needed to do a lot of things better. “It was a combination of Montreal playing good defence and us not doing the things we need to do.” As for the injuries to key players, Hufnagel said: “We’re not going to use that as an excuse. We needed to make plays with the people that were here.” In Cornish’s absence, Canadian Matt Walter rushed 13 times for an impressive 88 yards. The Stampeders ended a string of nine straight wins over Eastern teams. It was their first loss in six away games this season. The game featured a halftime presentation of the seven new members of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, with the biggest cheers for ex-Alouettes Cahoon, Okeke and Wally Buono (now GM in B.C.), as well as Charles Roberts, Neil Lumsden, Moe Racine and former university coach Larry Haylor. They were inducted at a Satur-
day night gala. The Alouettes took a 15-8 halftime lead, but were up against a team that roared back after a weak first half last week against Toronto. After a scoreless first quarter, Marsh scored from the one after Crompton’s 22-yard completion to Carter highlighted a nine-play 65-yard drive 1:06 into the second. The teams exchanged punt singles before another drive ended with Rodgers’ 18-yard catch-and-run TD at 10:20. Tate found his passing range on the final drive of the half, and finished it himself with a one-yard plunge at 14:37. Calgary tied it on their first possession of the second half, as a 39-yard strike to Maurice Price set up Tate’s six-yard TD score on a quarterback draw. Crompton answered with a pair of scoring drives, one ending with an 18-yard Whyte field goal late in the third quarter and the other on Carter’s
10-yard catch over the middle 3:21 into the fourth. Geoff Tisdale’s interception set up Whyte’s 34-yard kick at 7:07. Walter fumbled on Calgary’s next possession and Whyte was good from 27 yards. Then Tate fumbled. Alan-Michael Cash recovered both loose balls. Montreal’s defence was smarting from a loss last week in Edmonton in which it gave up 200 yards in the fourth quarter to waste a lead. Cash said they were determined not to let it happen again. “It was a statement,” said Cash. “We watched film of the last game. “We know we didn’t perform in the fourth and we wanted to come out and do all we could not to blow it again.” The team has a short turnaround before a game Friday night against the expansion Redblacks in Ottawa. The Stampeders return home to face B.C., the only other team to beat them this season, losing 25-24 to the Lions in Calgary on Aug. 1.
Riders Collaros leads TiCats to win over Eskimos score win in OT after late rally against RedBlacks BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Roughriders 35 RedBlacks 32 OT REGINA — Tino Sunseri turned the boos he heard at halftime into a standing ovation at the end of the game. In just his second start in the CFL, the second-year quarterback rallied the Saskatchewan Roughriders to a thrilling 35-32 victory in overtime over the Ottawa Redblacks at a sold-out Mosaic Stadium on Sunday. Sunseri engineered a last-minute touchdown drive that tied the game at 32-32 and then set up the winning field goal by Chris Milo in overtime. “I never saw doubt in his eyes,” Riders head coach Corey Chamblin said of his quarterback. Milo’s game-winning kick in overtime was a 22-yard boot and it was his second opportunity to win the game. On the Riders’ first overtime possession, he had to deal with a bad snap and his 37-yard attempt sailed wide. Redblacks kicker Kicker Brett Maher had his game-tying, 37-yard field goal attempt blocked. “We came in here at halftime and looked each other in the eye and said, ’Shoot, that’s not how we wanted the first half to go,”’ Sunseri said. “But we had 30 more minutes to put our statement on this game.” The Riders mustered just 26 yards passing in the first half and were booed off the field as they trailed 22-10 at halftime. In his first start a week ago in Hamilton, Sunseri struggled mightily. He managed just nine completions and 88 yards on 22 pass attempts in a 28-3 loss to the Tiger-Cats. But Sunseri found a groove in the second half on Sunday. On his team’s first possession of the third quarter, Sunseri hooked up with Will Ford on a 23-yard touchdown strike. Sunseri’s second touchdown toss of the second half came early in the fourth quarter and stirred talk of a possible comeback by the home team. A 60-yard passing play to Weston Dressler pulled the Riders to within five at 29-24. After a late field goal from Maher that pushed the Ottawa lead to 32-24, Sunseri’s stage was set for a thrilling, last-minute scoring drive.
Tiger-Cats 25 Eskimos 23 HAMILTON, Ont. — Hamilton’s offence was sputtering with a crucial piece lost to injury, but the Tiger-Cats defence held the Edmonton Eskimos at bay long enough for a comeback. After losing running back C.J. Gable at the start of the game, the Ticats forced three turnovers and Zach Collaros connected with Brandon Banks for the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter en route to a 25-23 at Tim Hortons Field on Saturday. “The defence was unbelievable,” said Collaros, who finished the game 25 for 35 for 275 yards with one passing touchdown, one rushing touchdown and one interception. “I gave (Edmonton) a touchdown, and if you take that away, we win this pretty easily.” Having just returned from the disabled list, Gable suffered a shoulder injury on the team’s opening offensive series and did not return. The Ticats had not dressed a replacement. Hamilton head coach Kent Austin said the loss of an effective running option played havoc with his playbook, and forced offensive coordinator Tommy Condell to get creative. “That was one of the all-time top performances I’ve ever seen from a playcaller,” said Austin. “It had a cascading effect on our personnel groupings. We actually had to rename some of our groupings.” The Tiger-Cats (4-7) held the Eskimos (8-4) to 316 total yards in the win. It was Hamilton’s second consecutive win, and their third in four games. Hamilton has now won consecutive games against West Division opponents after beginning the season 0-6 against the West. Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly was 23 for 42 for 268 yards with two touchdowns, two interceptions and a fumble. Eskimos head coach Chris Jones deemed the game winnable, but the execution just wasn’t there. “Everything we could possibly have done to let them back into the game, we did,” said Jones. “Defensively, it looked like we hadn’t practised all week.” Collaros dumped a short pass to Banks, who turned the corner and ran 42 yards for the touchdown that gave Hamilton a 24-16 lead. Defence ruled the first quarter as neither team got on the scoreboard and Hamilton held Edmonton to just 12 net yards of offence in the first 15 minutes. Hamilton marched the ball to Edmonton’s six-yard line as the quarter came to an end on a drive that included a 31-yard reception by Andy Fantuz, his longest of the season. But the Ticats were forced to settle for a Justin Medlock chip-shot field goal from 13 yards. Edmonton receiver Fred Stamps moved up to second in the Eskimos alltime receiving yards list with a 30-yard

After a 64-yard punt single got the Eskimos on the board, the visitors benefited from an undisciplined play by Ticats defensive back Delvin Breaux, who was flagged for a combination of unnecessary roughness and pass interference that netted 34 penalty yards and moved Edmonton to the Hamilton eight-yard line. Another penalty, this one to defensive end Eric Norwood, moved Edmonton to the four, and the Eskimos crossed the goal-line three plays later when Tyler Thomas hauled in a pass from Reilly in the flats. The Eskimos defence seized on the momentum and added to their lead on the Ticats ensuing drive, when Odell Willis popped the ball loose from the arms of Collaros and Alonzo Lawrence returned the fumble 16 yards for a touchdown to give Edmonton a 15-3 lead. Edmonton running back Kendial Lawrence left the game with a lower
body injury in the second quarter and did not return. “We ran the tests at halftime, and he was showing concussion-like symptoms,” Jones said of Lawrence. In a third quarter dominated by the defences, Hamilton’s Rico Murray intercepted Reilly for his team-leading fourth pick of the season. It was the seventh interception the quarterback has thrown this year. The two teams combined for 11 sacks through three quarters. A crucial interception by Hamilton cornerback Courtney Stephen to open fourth quarter spurred a five-play, 40-yard touchdown drive that ended with a one-yard sneak by Collaros and gave the Ticats a 17-15 lead. After Banks’ winning touchdown at 12:20 of the fourth quarter, the Ticats added a single point on a punt single at 13:26. Reilly found Fred Stamps for a touchdown with six seconds remaining in the game.

Wranglers rope up win over Vipers JUNIOR B EXHIBITION BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Wranglers 10, Vipers 3 Red Deer Vipers head coach J.D. Morrical wasted no time in sending a message to his team. Following their 10-3 Heritage Junior B Hockey League exhibition loss to the rival Blackfalds Wranglers on Saturday at the Red Deer Arena, he sent the entire team back out on the ice for a 20-minute bag skate. They got down 3-0 early in the second period and shrunk away completely. After a suffering through a year of dysfunction, Morrical was not about to let those issues rear their ugly head again. “It needed to be done. The effort level wasn’t there,” said Morrical. “We have an amazing hockey team, everyone we’ve got is a great hockey player, it’s just the effort level wasn’t there and if we play like that we’re going to get beat 10-3 every single time.” Consider the message received. “We have to come together as a team,” said captain Justin Corbett after the skate. “Last year we had a pretty rough one, we weren’t exactly a team, so we’re just trying to

Blackfalds won 10-3. build on that and make sure everyone is supporting each other.” Wally Samson led the Wranglers with four goals and three assists while Garrett Glasman, Jaye Sutherland and Robin Carlson all had two goals each.
Kyle Baumgardner made 33 saves in the win. Mitch Morrison, Brett Hoppus and Adam Ferguson replied for Red Deer while Conner Zenchuk let in eight goals on 41 shots before getting replaced by incumbent Klay Mu-
nro who allowed two goals on seven shots. The game was still just the Vipers’ first loss of the preseason. Blackfalds scored twice in the first period while out shooting the Vipers 25-10,
but the game did not get out of hand until early in the second period, thanks to a pair of double minors taken by Red Deer in the final couple minutes of the opening frame. Samson scored 20 seconds into the middle stanza, and it was all down hill after that. “That’s something we wanted to beat out of them tonight, that when we get down the game’s not over, we still had 40 minutes left and we were only down by three (goals) and we just gave up,” said Morrical. “It was embarrassing, they all said they’re embarrassed, and I hope it doesn’t happen again.” The Vipers did manage to get on the scoreboard in the third period as they put three past Baumgardner, but the Wranglers scored five of their own goals to make sure the score didn’t get too close. “It was good to see, but at the same time it was after a time out I called to get them going like that, we shouldn’t have to motivate them like that,” said Morrical. “They’re 21, 20, 19-year-old kids, they should be motivated when they come to the rink.” The two teams will meet again on Tuesday in their final exhibition game of the season, this time in Blackfalds at 7:30 p.m. “Hopefully we can return the favour,” said Corbett. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate. com

Red Deer Optomist Chiefs defenceman Andrew Kartusch hits Lethbridge Hurricanes forward Michael Grant during Alberta Midget Hockey League action at the Red Deer Arena on Sunday. Red Deer won 3-2.
OLDS GRIZZLYS It was a lost weekend for the Olds Grizzlys, who dropped a pair of road games — 6-3 to the Fort McMurray Oil Barons Saturday night and 6-2 to the Sherwood Park Crusaders Sunday afternoon. The Grizzlys ran into a hot goaltender at Sherwood Park, where Tommy Nixon turned aside 32 shots and was named Crusaders player of the game. Ryan Kruper and Cole Gammer each tallied twice for the hosts, who got additional goals from Brett Magee and Luke Kempf. Replying for the Grizzlys, who trailed 1-0 after one period and 5-1 after 40 minutes, were Logan Kerner and Jesse Freeborn. Olds netminder Billy Gorn made 23 saves. On Saturday, Trent Lofthouse fired four goals as the Oil Barons doubled the Grizzlys. Michael Sauer and Mitchell Vanderlaan had the other Fort McMurray markers, while James Miller, Josh Zablocki and Kyle Moore scored for Olds. Zach Fortin turned aside 28 shots for the winners. Jordan Piccolino made 25 saves in a losing cause. The Grizzlys return to action Tuesday at 7 p.m. against the visiting Brooks Bandits.
MAJOR BANTAM HOCKEY The Red Deer Rebels Black, with Jace Paarup firing three goals, downed the visiting Airdrie Xtreme 6-4 Sunday for their first Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League win of the season. Tristen Hatto, Hayden Clayton and Loclyn Kabatoff also tallied for the Rebels Black. Steve Arthur made 26 saves for the winners, who outshot their guests 35-30. On Saturday, the Red Deer Rebels White were blanked 6-0 by the visiting Calgary Bisons. Justin Verveda and Duncan Hughes combined to make 28 saves for the Rebels White, who were outshot 34-24.
Optimist Chiefs 3, Hurricanes 2 The Red Deer Optimist Chiefs are heading into the Alberta Midget Hockey League season in fine form, winning their final two exhibition games this weekend at the Red Deer Arena. On Saturday they crushed the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers 10-2 and then scored late to beat the Lethbridge Hurricanes 3-2 on Sunday. In their win over Fort Saskatchewan, Riley Smith had two goals and two assists while Luke Coleman also scored twice. Tyrees Goodrunning, Parker Smyth, Chase Olsen, Tyler Graber, Drew Joslin and Zane Bennett all scored for Red Deer and Cole Sears made 33 saves for the win. Fort Saskatchewan responded with goals from Dylan Dorval and Brett Dubuc.
Kenton Aubin made only six saves on 12 shots before getting replaced at 14:26 of the first period and Branden Yuel stopped 20 of 24 shots the rest of the way. On Sunday, Goodrunning scored twice and Smyth got the other to pace the Chiefs attack, Branden Bilodeau made 25 saves for the win. Arik Weersink made 23 saves for Lethbridge while Tanner Miller and Tanner Thompson tallied. Chiefs head coach Brandin Cote was pleased with the way they finished the preseason. “We’re pretty happy with how we’re progressing, it’s a big difference from last weekend when we still had some people we were looking at; with the exception of possibly a few kids that we’re waiting on at junior camps, this will be our team,” he said. “I thought we looked a lot more like a team this week than last we did last, overall we’re pretty happy with the effort so far.”
Until this weekend, the Chiefs were at 2-2-1 and playing inconsistent hockey as they figured out their roster for the regular season. Cote was finally able to get a true feel for how the team will look when the puck drops on the regulars on Saturday at 4:45 p.m., against the Medicine Hat Tigers at the Red Deer Arena. Playing particularly well for the Chiefs is Goodrunning, one of their youngest players, scoring three times in the two games this weekend, including Sunday’s winning goal on the power play at 17:44 of the third period. “He’s our only 15-year-old forward and he’s been our best player these last two games,” said Cote. “(Landon) MacKenzie and (Andrew) Kartusch on defence have been real good and our goaltenders have been pretty solid, they’ve made some pretty good saves.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate. com

RDC defender Roxanne Unrau was named player of the game. On Saturday, Jess Whyte netted both goals for the visitors and defender Chelsea Webster was selected as the RDC player of the match. The victories were the first and

Steelers get physical win over Panthers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Steelers 37 Panthers 19 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Ben Roethlisberger spent Sunday night relishing in the return of Steelers football. “We were physical on offence, defence, special teams,” Roethlisberger said. And dominating, too, in a 37-19 victory over Carolina on Sunday night. Roethlisberger threw two 7-yard touchdown passes to Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell ran for 147 yards and Pittsburgh outrushed the Panthers 26442. Roethlisberger finished 22 of 30 for 196 yards, and Brown had 90 yards receiving on 10 catches to help the Steelers (2-1) snap Carolina’s regular-season home winning streak at eight. LeGarrette Blount ran for 118 yards, marking the first time since 1986 the Steelers have had two 100-yard rushers in a game. “That’s awesome,” Roethlisberger said. “I’m sure that Steeler fans back home are going crazy because we ran the ball for 100 and had two guys do it. That’s just awesome. I think it shows what we can do if we put our minds to it.” The Steelers had gone eight quarters without a touchdown before Roethlisberger’s two scoring strikes in the third. They were set up by Cam Newton’s fumble and Bell’s 81-yard run. The Steelers lost defensive starters Ike Taylor, Ryan Shazier and Jarvis Jones to injuries. Taylor has a broken right forearm, while the others will be reevaluated Monday. Newton finished 24 of 35 for 250 yards, but was a non-factor running the ball with 7 yards on two carries. He was only sacked three times, but faced heavy pressure from the Steelers most of the night — sometimes even from a three-man rush. Newton, who broke his ribs in the preseason, took a forearm to the midsection from Shazier while running out of bounds and then was driven into the ground by Cameron Haywood when he came free on a stunt on back-to-back plays near the end of the first half. Later, Newton took a shot to the knees from Jason Worlids and came up limping. “We didn’t do a good job running the ball,” Pro Bowl centre Ryan Kalil said. “That hurt us. We’ve got to be more consistent protecting Cam. I don’t think we did a good job of that and it showed. You can’t have guys, especially those guys, hitting your quarterback and having free shots. And he took a lot of them tonight.”

Carolina Panthers’ Cam Newton (1) is sacked by Pittsburgh Steelers’ Steve McLendon (90) during the first half of an NFL football game in Charlotte, N.C., Sunday.
MORE NFL NEWS B10 Newton said after the game he felt fine. “At times we just looked out of sync,” Newton said. “... But it’s a long season.” The Panthers were looking for their first 3-0 start since 2003 — the year they went to the Super Bowl. The Steelers led 9-3 at halftime behind Shaun Suisham’s field goals of 42, 24, and 45 yards. Pittsburgh hadn’t scored a touchdown since the second quarter of their season opener before Roethlisberger connected with Brown in the back corner of the end zone following a colossal error by the Panthers. The score came after Carolina’s Wes Horton was called for encroachment on a fourth-and-4 field-goal attempt, giving the Steelers a first down.
Brown scored on the next play. After Bell broke free up the middle for an 81-yard burst on Pittsburgh’s next drive, Brown struck again getting free while running across the field at the goal line for another 7-yard score that put Pittsburgh up 23-6. Newton answered with a 37-yard TD pass to Greg Olsen, but the Steelers onslaught continued. Pittsburgh’s Shamarko Thomas stripped Philly Brown on a punt return in the fourth quarter and Robert Golden came up with the loose ball in the end zone for a touchdown. Blount put the game away with an 8-yard touchdown run, running through Thomas DeCoud at the 4 and dragging him into the end zone in a moment that captured the Steelers’ dominance. “We have two guys we feel good about,” coach Mike Tomlin said about his running backs. “Thankfully, we
were in a situation where we were winning enough possession downs on defence that we could utilize their talents. We had that opportunity to do it tonight and show what they’re capable of. I don’t think we have any doubts about that tandem as far as what they’re capable of.” The Panthers, playing without starting running back DeAngelo Williams, managed only 10 yards rushing in the opening half against a defence that had allowed 170 yards rushing per game coming in. Williams’ replacement, Jonathan Stewart, finished with 31 yards on five carries before leaving in the third quarter with a knee injury. Newton looked sharp on the opening drive completing his first four passes for 52 yards but the Steelers began handing out punishing body blows to the fourth-year quarterback in the second quarter.

Logano wins second NASCAR Chase race BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUDON, N.H. — Raised in Connecticut, Joey Logano always considered New Hampshire his home track, the one where he dreamed of being bathed in confetti in Victory Lane and flocked by family and friends. For Logano, the track about 75 miles outside of Boston was his version of Daytona. Winning at New Hampshire could mean a bit more to him than a boyhood fantasy fulfilled when the season ends — it could be Logano’s launching pad for his first NASCAR championship. Logano helped Team Penske strengthen its grip as the organization to beat for the championship, pulling away on an overtime restart to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and advance to the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship. Make it 2 for 2 for Team Penske in the Chase. “We’re doing what we’ve got to do to win this thing right now,� Logano said. Logano and teammate Brad Keselowski, who won the Chase opener at Chicagoland, have both advanced to the next round. Four drivers will be eliminated after every third race, and a win guarantees a driver an automatic berth into the next round. The first cutoff race is next week at Dover International Speedway. Team Penske will be playing with house money at the Monster Mile. Roger Penske’s crew is rolling, winning four of the last five races dating to Bristol and snagging the early lead on the scorecard against Hendrick Motorsports. “Confidence is high through the 22 team right now, all of Team Penske,� Logano said. “All of Team Penske. We
feel like we’ve got some championships to win, not only on the Cup side, but Nationwide side. And you’ve got IndyCar. We’re just trying to catch up to them.� Will Power won the IndyCar Series championship for Penske last month. Logano raced to his fourth victory of the season, leading 73 laps and surviving a NASCAR season-high 15 cautions that wrecked results for several Chase drivers. He took the lead from Kevin Harvick with 27 laps left and went on to his seventh career Cup victory. Logano attended his first NASCAR race at New Hampshire when he was 5, made his first career Cup start here and won his first race in 2009. But that was a rain-shortened win that always gnawed at Logano. Until he became a regular winner, it was considered a bit of a fluke and the rain meant Logano was denied a traditional victory celebration. This time, he took No. 22 Ford for the celebratory burnouts and a spin around the track holding the checkered flag. “I didn’t know where Victory Lane was, actually,� Logano said. “I just didn’t want to come in. I want to stay out. I never got out in front of all the fans on the front straightaway before. It was just too cool.� Keselowski led 78 laps, hit the wall, and still was in the hunt for a win. The 2012 champion failed in his bid to win a third straight Cup race, though he salvaged a seventh-place finish. “We certainly have a lot to be proud of, but there’s a lot of work to do,� Keselowski said. Keselowski and Logano are 1-2 in the points standings. Denny Hamlin, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch and Aric Almirola are in the bottom four of the 16-driver field at and risk of getting cut
next Sunday at Dover. Rookie Kyle Larson was second at New Hampshire for his second topthree finish in two weeks. Chase drivers took seven of the first 10 spots at New Hampshire. Harvick was third, Jimmie Johnson fifth, Almirola sixth, Kyle Busch eighth, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 10th. “It’s not all about winning and losing at this point. It’s about advancing,� said Harvick, who led a race-high 104 laps. The staggering number of cautions slowed the 300-mile race and wrecked the chances for several Chase drivers to contend for a win. Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Hamlin and Matt Kenseth; Hendrick Motorsports drivers Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne; and StewartHaas Racing’s Kurt Busch all finished outside of the top 20. Tony Stewart was 30th in his first race since he learned a grand jury will decide his fate in the fatal sprint car

crash in upstate New York. Other Chase drivers included: AJ Allmendinger was 13th, Roush Fenway Racing drivers Biffle and Carl Edwards were 16th and 17th, Ryan Newman 18th, Kenseth 21st, Kahne 23rd, and Gordon 26th. Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota suffered from fuel woes and was later collected in a multicar wreck and will likely need a win at Dover to advance. “It’s going to be hard to do it without some help,� Hamlin said. Logano gave Ford its 12th win this season and 630th overall. About the only sour note was Penske’s absence, who skipped the race because of an overseas business trip. But The Captain was filled in on the news that his driver won a race — which almost seems like a guarantee these days. “We’ve got to keep our eye on the prize and think about the big trophy at the end,� Logano said.

Hamilton takes F1 points lead with win in Singapore SINGAPORE — For Nico Rosberg, early retirement from the Singapore Grand Prix was painful. Seeing his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton win the race and snatch back the championship lead was agonizing. Hamilton won his seventh race of the season Sunday to move to 241 points, ahead of Rosberg on 238 with five races left. The advantage is thin but the Briton carries all the momentum after back-to-back victories and Rosberg’s hopes of his first F1 title are diminishing. Hamilton started from pole position and led comfortably for much of the race but was forced into a late pit-stop, briefly giving up the race lead to Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel, before he passed the German seven laps from the finish to win by 13.5 seconds at the Marina Bay circuit. Rosberg was forced to start from pit-lane due to a failure on the installation lap, and he did 14 laps at the back of the field in the stricken car before retiring. The team identified a problem in the steering column, which prevented
full usage of the steering wheel, affecting gear selection and preventing use of stored battery power. “I came here hoping to gain seven points (on Rosberg) and thinking anything more than that is a bonus,� Hamilton said. “Those extra points are a huge help. “This is game time. This is about hunting. In my head, I don’t think I am leading the championship. There are still five races left and all I’m going to do is what I’ve done in the last two races which is just attack every session.� Though Rosberg tried everything to get the car into working mode, he knew from the moment the car failed to start on the warm-up lap that it was hopeless. “�It was a horrible feeling to see everyone go because then I knew it was over,“ Rosberg said. “There was just no point in continuing. So a tough day really.� Vettel, who temporarily looked like winning Singapore for the fourthstraight year, finished second, just holding off Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo, who moved to 60 points off the championship lead. Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso was fourth. Second to fourth
places were separated by just 1.8 seconds. Williams’ driver Felipe Massa was fifth, ahead of fast-finishing Toro Rosso driver JeanEric Vergne. Seventh through 10th places were fought out right until the final corner, with Sergio Perez of Force India seventh and his teammate Nico Hulkenberg ninth, while Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen was eighth and McLaren’s Kevin Magnussen 10th. Valtteri Bottas of Williams was seventh on the penultimate lap but ended up out of the points in 11th in a chaotic finish among the lower end of the points-yielding places.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Derek Fathauer won the season-ending Web.com Tour Championship on Sunday to top the fourevent Web.Com Tour Finals money list and earn a full PGA Tour exemption. Fathauer finished with a 2-under 68 for a one-stroke victory over Zac Blair. The 28-year-old former Louisville player earned $180,000 for his first professional victory to push his Finals total to $250,133. Fathauer has already earned a PGA Tour card with a top-25 finish on the Web.com Tour’s regular-season money list. By topping the Finals money list, he earned fully exempt status for the 2014-15 PGA Tour season and a spot in The Players Championship. He played the tour in 2009, but lost his card after making only eight cuts in 25 starts and wound up losing his card after finishing No. 201 on the FedExCup standings. He had a 14-under 266 on TPC Sawgrass’ Dye’s Valley Course.
Blair earned $108,000 to secure a PGA Tour card with the 11th position in the Finals priority ranking. Jason Gore was third at 11 under after a 69. The Web.com Tour Finals were limited to the top 75 players from the Web.com Tour money list and Nos. 126-200 in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup standings. Adam Hadwin topped the combined Web.com Tour money list to also earn a full exemption and a spot in The Players. The Canadian, also a former Louisville player, had a 72 on Sunday to tie for seventh at 6 under. He earned $30,125 for a total of $529,792. “I think everyone out here knows the importance of being No. 1 and knows how good it is not to have to reshuffle for the next year,� Hadwin said. “It allows you to just go out and have some fun and enjoy it. You don’t have to put pressure on yourself to perform before the first reshuffle or the second reshuffle.� He won the second playoff event for his second victory of the year.

FREEMAN Brooksie Gay Aug. 1, 1945 - Sept. 9, 2014 Brooksie was a loving sister with a strong faith and will that saw her through the many trials of her life. She always had a smile for everyone and held in her memories the names of family and friends. She never forgot anyone that touched her life and Brooksie touched the lives of all who met her. Brooksie is predeceased by her mother, Sophie in 1963, her father, Manford in 1972 as well as a younger brother, Addison. She leaves to mourn her sister Valerie and her partner William Burgess; niece Jouline and her husband Craig Burgess; nephew Craig Comeau and his wife Allison; great nephew Everit and great niece Maddison.

Seahawks get OT win in Super Bowl rematch SEAHAWKS 26 BRONCOS 20 OT SEATTLE — Marshawn Lynch scored on a 6-yard run on the first possession of overtime and the Seattle Seahawks beat the Denver Broncos 2620 on Sunday in a Super Bowl rematch that lived up to expectations. Seattle (2-1) blew a 17-3 fourth-quarter lead, watching Denver tie it at 20 on Peyton Manning’s 26-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Tamme with 18 seconds left in regulation and his 2-point conversion pass to Demaryius Thomas. But Manning never saw the ball in overtime, thanks to Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson. After nearly getting sacked for a safety and throwing an interception in the fourth quarter, Wilson was brilliant in overtime. Wilson rushed for 21 yards and was 4 of 6 passing in overtime. Lynch went the final 6 yards. Manning led the rally for Denver (2-1) helped by a number of Seahawks mistakes. He was 31 of 49 for 303 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw a costly fourth-quarter interception. Wilson finished 24 of 34 for 258 yards and two touchdown passes, both late in the first half. Lynch had 88 yards rushing and also caught a 5-yard TD pass. EAGLES 37, REDSKINS 34 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rookie Jordan Matthews, the receiver who replaced DeSean Jackson in Philadelphia, caught two touchdown passes, and the Eagles beat Jackson and his Washington Redskins in a nasty game marred by a fourth-quarter brawl. Jackson had his own big play, an 81-yard TD that tied it at 27. But it was not enough to offset Matthews and Jeremy Maclin, whose 27-yard scoring reception gave Philadelphia (3-0) the lead. Rookie Cody Parkey’s third field goal, a 51-yarder with 5:55 remaining, put the game out of reach. Philadelphia’s Chris Polk had a 102-yard kickoff return. Kirk Cousins threw for 427 yards and three touch-

downs for Washington (1-2). The game was slowed by several injuries and disrupted by a sideline brawl with about 10 minutes remaining. COWBOYS 34, RAMS 31 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Terrance Williams scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter, Bruce Carter returned an interception 25 yards for a TD on the next snap, and the Dallas Cowboys matched the largest comeback in team history to stun the St. Louis Rams. DeMarco Murray’s 1-yard run late in the first half began the rally for Dallas (2-1), which trailed 21-0. Dez Bryant caught a 68-yard scoring pass in the third quarter, and Carter’s first career interception and touchdown came not long after he was evaluated for concussion-like symptoms on the bench. Janoris Jenkins’ 25-yard interception return, the fifth defensive touchdown in his three seasons, put the Rams (1-2) up 21-0 with 6:06 to go in the first half. RAVENS 23, BROWNS 21 CLEVELAND (AP) — With the Ray Rice case lingering over them, the Ravens pulled off a comeback win as Justin Tucker kicked a 32-yard field as time expired to give Baltimore a victory over the Cleveland Browns. Tucker’s boot capped another challenging week for the Ravens (2-1), who continue to be dogged by their handling of Rice’s domestic violence suspension. Following the game, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh addressed an ESPN report that claims he wanted the team to immediately release Rice after he was arrested for punching his then-fiancee. The report says Harbaugh was overruled by owner Steve Bisciotti and general manager Ozzie Newsome. “I can tell you this, we work together in our organization,” Harbaugh said. Joe Flacco set up Tucker’s winner with a 32-yard pass to Steve Smith with 1:28 left. The Ravens then ran the clock

SAINTS 20, VIKINGS 9 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees passed for 293 yards and two touchdowns, and the New Orleans Saints won for the first time this season, taking their home opener against the Minnesota Vikings. For the Vikings, the loss capped a week of distractions as the club first announced that star running back Adrian Peterson would play, then later changed course and said Peterson would leave the team indefinitely to deal with child abuse allegations. Minnesota then lost starting quarterback Matt Cassel with a toe injury early in the second quarter. He was replaced by rookie Teddy Bridgewater, who completed 12 of 20 for 150 yards while leading two scoring drives that both ended with field goals. Brees’ scoring passes went for 34 yards to tight end Josh Hill and 18 yards to receiver Marques Colston. It was the 64th time Brees and Colston connected for a score. Only six other quarterback-receiver tandems have combined for more in NFL history. CHARGERS 22, BILLS 10 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — A week after throwing three touchdown passes to tight end Antonio Gates to knock off the Seattle Seahawks, Philip Rivers hit Eddie Royal for two scores in a win over the Buffalo Bills. Royal scored on 3- and 5-yard receptions and finished with four catches 42 yards. Malcom Floyd had two catches for 98 yards in a game the Chargers (2-1) never trailed. Rivers finished 18 of 25 for 256 yards and extended his touchdown streak to 23 games to match the team record he set over the 2009-10 seasons. San Diego beat Buffalo (2-1) despite a depleted offensive backfield. Already missing starting running back Ryan Mathews (right knee), the Chargers lost backup Danny Woodhead to

PATRIOTS 16, RAIDERS 9 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady threw a touchdown pass, Stephen Gostkowski kicked three field goals and the sluggish New England Patriots held on to beat the Oakland Raiders when defensive tackle Vince Wilfork intercepted a pass near his goal line. Darren McFadden’s potential tying touchdown run was nullified by a holding penalty. A play later, Wilfork grabbed the ball when Logan Ryan jarred it loose from intended receiver Denarius Moore with 51 seconds left. The Patriots (2-1) won their 12th home opener in 13 seasons, while the Raiders (0-3) lost their 15th straight game in the Eastern time zone. They were held to three field goals by Sebastian Janikowski. Brady became the third quarterback with 150 regular-season wins behind Brett Favre (186) and Peyton Manning, who came into Sunday with 169. LIONS 19, PACKERS 7 DETROIT (AP) — Don Carey returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown, and Detroit’s defensive front stuffed Green Bay, leading the Lions over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. The Lions (2-1) came in with a secondary decimated by injuries, but that didn’t much matter with Rodgers under constant pressure. He was sacked twice and threw for only 162 yards, and Green Bay (1-2) wasn’t any better when running the ball. Reggie Bush added a 26-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter for Detroit, which had never beaten Green Bay with Rodgers healthy for the whole game. The Packers managed only 223 yards of offence and lost despite forcing three turnovers.

California facing historic drought SOME CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS RELYING ON BOTTLED WATER AS WELLS RUN DRY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EAST PORTERVILLE, Calif. — Hundreds of domestic wells in California’s drought-parched Central Valley farming region have run dry, leaving many residents to rely on donated bottles of drinking water to get by. Girl Scouts have set up collection points while local charities are searching for money to install tanks next to homes. Officials truck in water for families in greatest need and put a large tank in front of the local firehouse for residents to fill up with water for bathing and flushing toilets. About 290 families in East Porterville — a poor, largely Hispanic town of about 7,000 residents nestled against the Sierra Nevada foothills — have said their shallow wells are depleted. Officials say the rest of Tulare County has many more empty wells, but nobody has a precise count. Other Central Valley counties also report pockets of homes with wells gone dry and no alternative water service. “When you have water running in your house, everything is OK,” said East Porterville resident Yolanda Serrato. “Once you don’t have water, oh my goodness.” With California locked in its third year of drought and groundwater levels dropping, residents and farmers have been forced to drill deeper and deeper to find water. Lawmakers in Sacramento passed legislation to regulate groundwater pumping, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law this past week. Three days later, Brown signed an executive order that provides money to buy drinking water for residents statewide whose wells have dried up, while also directing key state officials to work with counties and local agencies to find solutions for the shortages. The State Water Resources Control Board had already allotted $500,000 to buy bottled water for East Porterville residents, said Bruce Burton of the board’s Drinking Water Program. But many East Porterville residents, like Serrato, say all they want is to get a glass of water from the kitchen sink. Her well dried up nearly two months ago, she said, making life challenging for her husband and three children. To bathe, they each have to fill a bucket from a 300-gallon (1,135-litre) tank in the front yard, carry it inside and pour water over their heads with a cup. They’ve lived in their home for 21 years, she said. “It’s not that easy to say, ’Let’s go someplace else.’ ” East Porterville sits along the Tule River, which starts high in the moun-

In this photo taken Monday, Sept. 15, 2014, Vickie Yorba, 94, stands next to a water tank in front of her home in East Porterville, Calif., where she has lived for 66 years. Hers is one of 290 East Porterville wells that ran dry in the state’s historic drought. Since February, she has had to rely on friends, relatives and charities for water to drink and bathe. tains and runs through the unincorporated town. Typically, river water permeates the sandy soil under the community, filling up wells as shallow as 30 feet (9 metres) deep. Not this year. Drought has caused the river to run dry, along with the wells. Tulare County spokeswoman Denise England said East Porterville needs to get connected to the nearest water main in neighbouring Porterville. That could cost more than $20 million and take up to five years, if the project didn’t hit political snags, she said. England said counting the number of dry wells is difficult because people don’t come forward fearing their children will be taken away if their home lacks a safe water source, or they believe that their home would be condemned, making them homeless. Officials have had to combat these rumours, she said, adding, “We’re blindly feeling our way through this.” In the meantime, charities have stepped up. Local schools, businesses and a religious group in Cincinnati, Ohio, donated water to the community. Elva Beltran’s Porterville Area Coordinating Council has provided 46 homes with 300-gallon tanks, which are filled each week. The group has pallets
of donated bottled water and stacks of blue buckets waiting to be distributed. Beltran said every day a new family comes in seeking help. “They’re hurting,” she said. “We need water like we need air.” A local bank donated $50,000 to SelfHelp Enterprise, so the housing nonprofit can provide more homes with water tanks. Community development program director Paul Boyer said people have been creative, using solar bags to heat water for bathing and putting tanks in trees to increase water pressure. Boyer said it will be more difficult when it turns cold this winter. “Families every night dream about water,” Boyer said. “Every day they’re thinking about how they’re going to deal with water.” The well belonging to Vickie Yorba, 94, dried up in February. She now relies on a donated water tank in front of her small home that she and her late husband bought 66 years ago. A neighbour with a deeper well ran a garden hose to Yorba’s home. She is proud of how sparingly she uses water, likening it to the little used during trips she and her husband took years ago to the mountains.
SAN FRANCISCO — Nearly three-dozen structures have been destroyed in a massive Northern California wildfire that continues to spread more than a week after it started, officials said Sunday. According to preliminary figures, 10 residences and 22 outbuildings were lost in the King Fire as the structures were discovered in the White Meadows area of Pollock Pines, said Capt. Tom Piranio, a state fire spokesman. Assessment teams were headed back into the rugged, steep terrain to survey more damage, he said. “It has been very challenging to get access to those burn areas because there’s a lot of inaccessible terrain,” Piranio said. “We had to make sure it was safe to enter.” Smoky conditions from the fire also forced the last-minute cancellation of two popular Ironman events in nearby Lake Tahoe Sunday morning, Ironman operations manager Keats McGonigal said. About 3,000 athletes from around the world were expected to participate, but couldn’t due to poor air quality as the fire spread to the Tahoe National Forest northwest of Lake Tahoe over the weekend. The fast-moving blaze located about 60 miles (100 kilometres) east of Sacramento that started Sept. 13 grew to more than 128 square miles (332 square kilometres) Saturday despite periods of rain overnight. A man charged with starting the fire, Wayne Allen Huntsman, 37, pleaded not guilty to arson Friday and remains in the El Dorado County jail on $10 million bail. More than 21,000 structures remain threatened as the blaze remains at 10 per cent contained. More than 5,000 firefighters — from as far as Florida and Alaska — are helping California crews battle the blaze that has not only consumed grass and brush, but swaths of extremely dry tall timber. About 100 evacuees have been allowed to return home, but some 2,700 remain under evacuation orders, state fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said. The fire also continues to threaten a key University of California, Berkeley research station that is home to scores of experiments on trees, plants and other wildlife.
Thousands march to draw attention to global warming BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW — Tens of thousands of people marched through central Moscow on Sunday to demonstrate against the fighting in Ukraine and Russia’s alleged complicity in the conflict. An Associated Press reporter estimated the crowd at about 20,000, although the city police department put the number at about 5,000. The demonstrators chanted slogans including “No to war” and “The junta is in the Kremlin, not Kyiv.” The latter refers to Russia’s contention that the ousting of Ukraine’s former Russiafriendly president was a coup. The fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine that erupted after the ouster has killed more than 3,000 people. Ukraine and Western countries claim Russia is supplying troops and equipment to the rebels, which Moscow denies. “Our country is acting as an aggressor, like Germany in the war,” said demonstrator Konstantin Alexeyev, 35. The Ukraine conflict has boosted nationalist sentiment among Russians, many of who regard eastern Ukraine as rightfully a part of Russia, and coverage of the crisis on state-controlled television channels has skewed strongly against the Ukrainian authorities. “I am concerned about the rhetoric on our TV channels, which disseminate anti-Ukrainian sentiment,” said 50-year-old demonstrator Ludmila Shteigervalt. “Ukraine is a friendly country. We should just leave it alone.” At least one scuffle broke out between protesters and nationalists who unfurled a banner denouncing “The March of Traitors.” In Kyiv, a Ukrainian security official said attacks by Russia-backed rebel fighters are continuing despite a cease-fire called for by both sides more than two weeks ago. Col. Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s national security council, said two Ukrainian servicemen and about 40 rebels had died in clashes over the past day.
NEW YORK — Tens of thousands of activists walked through Manhattan on Sunday, warning that climate change is destroying the Earth — in stride with demonstrators around the world who urged policymakers to take quick action. Starting along Central Park West, most came on foot, others with bicycles and walkers, and some even in wheelchairs. Many wore costumes and marched to drumbeats. One woman played the accordion. But their message was not entertaining: “We’re going to lose our planet in the next generation if things continue this way,” said Bert Garskof, 81, as a family member pushed his wheelchair through Times Square. He had first heard about global warming in 1967, “when no one was paying much attention,” said Garskof, a native New Yorker and professor of psychology at Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University. Organizers said more than 100,000 marched in New York, including actors Mark Ruffalo and Evangeline Lilly. They were joined in midtown Manhattan by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, former Vice-President Al Gore and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. On Tuesday, more than 120 world leaders will convene for the United Nations Climate Summit aimed at galvanizing political will for a new global climate treaty by the end of 2015. “My sense is the energy you see on the streets, the numbers that have amassed here and in other cities

People fill 58th Street between 8th and 9th Avenue in New York before a climate changes protest march Sunday. Thousands of people were expected in New York City to participate in what’s billed as the largest march ever on global warming. around the world, show that something bigger is going on, and this U.N. summit will be one of the ones where we look back and say it was a difference maker,” de Blasio said. The New York march was one of a series of events held around the world to raise awareness about climate change. In London, organizers said 40,000 marchers participated, while a small gathering in Cairo featured a huge art
piece representing wind and solar energy. Celebrities in London including actress Emma Thompson and musician Peter Gabriel joined thousands of people crossing the capital’s centre, chanting: “What do we want? Clean energy. When do we want it? Now.” “This is important for every single person on the planet, which is why it has to be the greatest grass roots movement of all time,” Thompson said.
doctors said Sunday. Gyanendra Shah was brought to the hospital Saturday night, and was recovering in the intensive care unit and was out of danger, said Dr. Bharat Rawat at the Norvic Hospital in Kathmandu. Hundreds of his supporters crowded the hospital Sunday. Security was tightened around the hospital in the centre of Kathmandu.
Gyanendra was the last king to rule Nepal before the Constituent Assembly abolished the centuries-old monarchy and turned the country into a republic. He remains in Nepal as a common citizen with no powers, but is provided security by the government. He was crowned as king in 2001 after the killing of his elder brother Birendra in a palace massacre but remained mostly unpopular.
