PET THERAPY

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Health care facilities in Central Alberta are going to the dogs.

So far, about 16 dogs and their owners have joined Red Deer and District SPCA’s K9 Community Outreach Pet Visitation Program.

Through the program, dog/owner teams visit with seniors at continuing care facilities and patients at other health-care centres.

The interaction is known to positively impact health, doing things like lowering blood pressure, easing agitation and anxiety, and encouraging interaction.

Work to develop the program started about a year ago. In the spring, a bequest to the SPCA allowed the organization to have a worker dedicated to the program part-time.

So far, teams make regular visits to facilities in Ponoka, Lacombe, Red Deer and Sylvan Lake, with plans to expand to visit sick children, and those with autism and learning difficulties.

SPCA executive director Tara Hellewell said the program has “grown by leaps and bounds.� The plan is to have about 25 dogs in the program that is open

to all breeds, depending on their personality, socialization and obedience skills. “We have a really large dog. We have really small ones. We have pit bull types. We have everything,�

Hellewell said on Thursday.

Dogs and their owners are evaluated for their suitability.

Owners must be at least 18 years old, willing to make a minimum three-month commitment, have owned their dog for at least six months, and provide a criminal records check to work with vulnerable persons. Dogs must be at least one year old, have up-to-date immunizations, and wear a flat buckle or snap collar — promise collars, prong collars, harnesses, halties or choke chains are not permitted.

Hellewell said many people believe their dogs have the right temperament, but unfortunately they lack the obedience required. “They have to have extremely good manners to visit these facilities. They can’t jump up. When you jump on a senior person with very frail, crepe-like skin, they could cause lesions quite easily. (Patients) might have medication that the dogs could take if they like to steal treats.�

If the cool, wet end to summer left some Albertans feeling glum, business owners weren’t among them.

A survey this month by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business found the confidence level of its members to be the highest in a year and a half.

Measured on a scale of 100, the 73.8 index was up 2.1 points from August and marked the second month of substantial gains. “The level of confidence among Alberta’s entrepreneurs is up by 4.4 points since July, including another two points this month,� said Richard Truscott, director of provincial affairs for CFIB in Alberta. “That’s clearly a healthy jump and certainly good news for our provincial economy,�

Thirty-four of respondents to the September survey said they expect to add full-time staff, as compared with six per cent who anticipate cuts. More than half described the economy as being “good,� while five per cent characterized it as “bad.�

Labour is a point of concern, suggested the survey, with 53 per cent of the entrepreneurs polled citing skilled labour shortages as a restriction on their sales or production growth. “Alberta’s economy appears to be running at full tilt, but the shortage of qualified labour continues to hamstring the growth and success of smaller firms,� said Truscott.

Despite the growing optimism of business owners in Alberta, they aren’t as upbeat as their counterparts in Newfoundland. The September confidence index in that province was 74.2.

British Columbia trailed Alberta with an index of 70.9, followed by Saskatchewan (68.2), Manitoba (65.8), Ontario (65.2), Nova Scotia (63.5) Quebec (60.5), New Brunswick (59.2), and Prince Edward Island (53.8). The national business confidence index was 65.6.

CFIB represents more than 109,000 small and medium-sized businesses across Canada, including in Central Alberta. The organization said an index levels between 65 and 75 normally indicates that an economy is growing at its potential.

Big hearts helping hungry children in Red Deer The children are hungry. The church volunteers can barely keep up.

We’re not talking about a far away, underdeveloped, poverty-stricken country.

We’re talking about our children, in Alberta, the land of wealth — although clearly not for everyone.

How can it be that the richest province in Canada has thousands of children going to school every day hungry, without a lunch?

If it weren’t for the good MARY-ANN souls trying to tackle the probBARR lem, all of these kids would be trying to learn on empty stomachs.

The provincial government leaves it up to churches and other non-profits to provide. But being hungry in

school isn’t a problem unique to Alberta — it’s happening across Canada.

And Red Deer is no different than anywhere else.

Five days a week, all school-year long, volunteers at the ministry of Loaves and Fishes make, put together, bag and deliver lunches for about 300 school children who would otherwise go hungry.

At this time of year, when the phone rings at Loaves and Fishes, it’s often another parent or school official discreetly asking for help for a child who has gone to school more than once without a lunch. What happens to these kids when school is out, like on weekends and holidays? “If our hearts weren’t here, we wouldn’t be,� Pastor Christine Elliot says about the major task they undertake.

According to most recent statistics provided by Public Interest Alberta, at the end of 2012 there were 84,000 children living in poverty in Alberta.

PETS: Special ability She said dogs have to have the training to keep looking at their owner for clarification on what they can and cannot do, and at the same time be curious.

“It’s tricky to find an animal that’s suitable.”

Having worked at a seniors care facility, Hellewell said she knows that animals have a special ability to connect with vulnerable people.

“I could see the times when dogs and cats sometimes visited, and what a difference that made to seniors in residence, how it brightened up their day and maybe took them back to when they had their own pet, their own companion,” Hellewell said.

Sue Ingham, of Pine Lake, was at Red Deer Hospice with her border collie Destiny on Thursday.

Destiny visited two patients, as well as their visitors.

“There was a great deal of interest and they just enjoyed petting her and giving her treats,” Ingham said. “It just makes everybody feel really good.”

She described Destiny, who is about six years old, as well mannered and easy going.

“She’s just a very sweet, gentle soul and is very eager to please.”

Ingham hoped more people would consider the outreach program.

“The need is always there. It’s a great way to give back to the community. It’s a great way to be involved with the community, and it’s a really great way to meet up with new people.”

Red Deer low-wage statistics

Conference information

Public Interest Alberta, for the year ending June 30, 2014, provides the following low-wage statistics from Statistics Canada: ● One out of every five workers in Red Deer makes less than $15 an hour.

Feed the Children — A Strategy to End Hunger in Alberta Classrooms, is a one-day conference in Red Deer on Saturday, Oct. 4. It will be held at Gaetz United Church (4758 50th St.) and runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The workshop is being organized by The Child Wellbeing Initiative, a project of Alberta Women of the United Church of Canada.

The keynote address will be given by CBC’s food commentator and blogger, Julie Van Rosendaal.

There will be breakout sessions, a panel with Albertans speaking about student hunger in their geographical area, a panel about practical solutions from people feeding children, and group discussion.

The cost is $25 but there is no charge for people of low income. Early registration is closed but late registrations can be accepted; however, anyone interested should act now.

Contact Pam by email at anwc.ucw.cwi@gmail. com or by phone 403-278-4255.

For more information, go to www.childwellbeingAlberta.org.

● There are 9,800 people earning less than $15 an hour out of a total of 49,200 employed people in Red Deer (20 per cent). ● There are 11,200 people earning less than $16 an hour (22.7 per cent). ● The majority of low wage workers in Red Deer are women, 5,700 (58.2 per cent). ● The majority of low wage workers are in their prime earning years; 77.5 per cent of low-wage workers are over the age of 20. ● There are 383,900 Albertans earning less than $15 and hour, 20 per cent of a total of 1,870,100 employed Albertans. warm bed for the night during the winter.

At first there were only single men sleeping in the churches, said Pogue, an author from the Calgary area. But over the years they have seen more women — single women, pregnant women and women with children seeking shelter in the winter.

“We’re thinking, ‘What is going on here? This is unconscionable.’ ” They learned about Lethbridge teachers bringing food to school to feed hungry children. A closer look revealed it was happening across Alberta.

What Pogue finds frustrating is that there’s no overall plan by government to look after impoverished Alberta children.

A child may be lucky enough to attend a school where volunteers and churches offer lunches. But what about the kids who don’t live near such a school, or who are too embarrassed to say they are hungry but whose behaviour and learning is poor?

“Government says we are doing this, this and this.

And we’re saying, ‘That’s good. Good for you but it’s not enough.’ We charities, we can’t fulfil the need.

We need a bigger umbrella of help.”

“I don’t get why people aren’t outraged when they learn that these kids are sitting in classrooms trying to learn with an empty stomach.”

When she talks to people about the issue she

hears, “It’s not my problem. It’s the parents’ responsibility to feed the kids, therefore they have stupid parents.”

“So am I to go to a six-year-old child who’s sitting there in Grade 1, wiggling or falling asleep, and say I’m so sorry I can’t feed you because you’ve got stupid parents, or addicted parents or sick parents or absent parents or whatever the reason is. You can’t do that. How can we live with that? Those are our children.”

The solutions to ending hunger in classrooms include a living wage, enough affordable housing, and more affordable daycare spaces, says Pogue.

“Because we’re rich and because we’re young and because we’re smart we should be able to lead this country in dealing with this problem.”

She sees a ray of hope with the arrival of Alberta’s new premier, Jim Prentice. In the first meeting with the premier, Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson raised the issue of children in poverty and affordable housing.

For Pogue, it’s all about raising awareness, and she feels hopeful when public figures are talking about the issue of child poverty.

As for the upcoming conference in Red Deer, Pogue says every MLA has been invited. She’s not sure if any will attend. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Statoil puts Corner project on hold for at least three years, cuts 70 jobs

LEARNING FROM THE MASTER

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Statoil has put its Corner oilsands project on hold for at least three years as it grapples with rising costs.

The decision means about 70 jobs will be cut, the Norwegian energy firm said Thursday.

In a statement on its website, Statoil said improvements have been made to the project, but it has decided not to go any further at this stage.

“Costs for labour and materials have continued to rise in recent years and are working against the economics of new projects,” said Statoil Canada country manager Stale Tungesvik.

“Market access issues also play a role — including limited pipeline access which weighs on prices for Alberta oil, squeezing margins and making it difficult for sustainable financial returns.”

Tungesvik said the decision was part of Statoil’s strategy to prioritize its most competitive projects around the world.

Last December, Tungesvik signalled costs were a big concern, not just in the oilsands but in its offshore operations as well.

He told reporters that doing business with US$100a-barrel crude nowadays is just as difficult as $30 oil was several years back and that the company would be more picky about the projects it chooses to develop.

“The easy barrel’s gone,” he said. “We invest more than ever but we see that it’s much more costly to develop one barrel of oil today than it was earlier.”

Greenpeace campaigner Mike Hudema said Statoil’s move shows that high-profile campaigns against pipeline proposals like Keystone XL, which would connect up to 830,000 barrels per day of mostly oilsands crude to Gulf Coast refineries, are working.

This month, Keystone XL will have spent six years waiting on U.S. regulatory approval.

“It’s time our government acknowledges what the science has already shown, if we are serious about addressing climate change then the vast majority of bitumen needs to stay in the ground,” said Hudema.

“Now we need to ensure the billions not spent on Statoil’s Corner project are redirected to renewable energy solutions that solve the climate problem not accelerate it.”

The company said the decision has no implications for its Leismer oilsands project, which is in production. The steam-assisted gravity drainage project has an operating capacity of 20,000 barrels per day.

Last year, Statoil, together with its partner Husky Energy (TSX:HSE), announced a major oil discovery off the coast of Newfoundland.

SASKATOON — An Alberta woman who pleaded guilty to attempted murder after stabbing her baby son in the head has been sentenced to four years in jail.

The woman was 21 and living with her five-monthold son in Warman, Sask., when she attacked him on May 11, 2011.

A Saskatoon court heard it happened when the child’s father came to the woman’s home with RCMP to serve an interim custody order.

The mother stabbed the boy before slashing her own throat in a suicide attempt.

child so they would be together after death.

The child survived, but he has permanent brain damage and can’t walk or talk.

Crown Prosecutor Sheryl Fillo said Thursday the woman was suffering from depression at the time, but didn’t seek help.

“Through the medical reports that we received from North Battleford Hospital, she certainly knew what she was doing and she chose to do it,” Fillo said outside court.

The child’s grandparents were in court for the sentence.

Fillo said they chose not to submit victim impact statements in the case.

“They have to go on and live their lives and they want to focus on the positives of the child,” she said.

“You can see how much they love him and don’t want to think about what could have been.”

Why the North matters FRIENDLY FACADE MELTING IN NEW ARCTIC COLD WAR The recent discovery of one of the ships from the ill-fated Franklin expedition at Pond Inlet in Canada’s North is an exciting story. But it’s the story behind it that is even more interesting.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s interest in the Arctic is not just for historical reasons. As much as he enjoyed DOUG being associFIRBY ated with this good news story, his frequent visits to the North signal that Canada is not about to roll over and cede massive portions of what we have considered our territory to competing interests.

But if Canada hopes to stand its ground, our country has a diplomatic fight on its hands.

Largely out of the public eye, the Arctic has become a hotbed of activ-

INSIGHT

ity, with everything from fishing vessels from China to nuclear submarines from Russia wanting to get in on the action.

Rob Heubert, a University of Calgary professor who has been watching this situation develop, says there is a “façade of co-operation” among countries with interests up there. But the façade conceals a menacing subtext, in which clashing military and economic interests are at play.

The Russians have bigger icebreakers, nuclear submarines and — most significantly — motive for wanting to stake their claim in the North. The motive is the Cold War with the U.S. that never fully ended, leading that country’s military leaders to conclude that it needs to maintain military deterrence and limit the expansion of NATO countries.

The U.S., meanwhile, has the opposing strategic interest — essentially protecting the homeland from any potential military assault from the North.

If that weren’t reason enough to start feeling nervous, throw in the fact that climate change will result in the total disappearance of the polar icecap in as little as 15 years, says Heubert, a professor at the U of C’s Centre

for Military and Strategic Studies. That opens up new opportunities for oil and gas exploration on the sea bed and — alarmingly — turns the Arctic into “high seas,” an area where any country has the right to fish.

This opens the prospect of intervention from China, which has shown an increasing interest in the area.

All of this makes Canada feel a little bit like the little boy in the school yard, trying to keep his teddy bear away from two bullies. Our badly wanting naval capacity puts us in a position that can most charitably be described as vulnerable. Put more bluntly, if an aggressive nation wanted to take our piece of the North, we’d need our allies to the south to help stop it. We simply have no chance of doing it on our own.

Heubert notes that Canada does have technology and is using it to build its legal case. The Franklin wreck, for example, was discovered by a tiny unmanned submarine called the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. It gave us those spectacular images that were unmistakably of an ancient ship on the ocean floor.

Canada is using the same gadget to map just how far the continental shelf

extends. If we can document the sea bed, we can show how far our land mass extends.

The militarization of the North is also having a profound impact on the indigenous people.

One can only feel sadness to see how their society seems to sink deeper into devastating problems like suicide and drug abuse. They’ve fallen a long way from the family of Nanook, the traditional father lovingly portrayed in the 1922 documentary film by Robert J. Flaherty.

Canada is doing what it can to stake its claim to this treasure with the resources it has.

The question Canadians must wrestle with, though, is whether that will be enough. Can we, and should we, start to rebuild our naval capacity? How many years would it take? And would it make a difference?

Norway is spending massively on its defence for similar reasons. That nation, at least, has concluded that it cannot solely depend on the goodwill of the U.S. when its sovereignty is at stake.

Trudeau distracted by crude heckler When all is said and done, the decision by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau to boycott an entire news organization on account of the latest exploit of its most boorish commentator falls somewhere between a misfire and a bullet in the foot.

In a five-minute segment aired on Sun News on Monday, broadcast host Ezra Levant took aim at former prime minister Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Trudeau.

He spoke about the “conquests” of the two and called the former prime minister “a slut.”

A photo published on Twitter earlier this month that showed the Liberal leader pecking the cheek of an unCHANTAL identified bride sparked the HÉBERT segment.

Levant criticized the kiss and then went on to call Trudeau’s parents “promiscuous.”

“Now, if that’s your moral compass, kissing another man’s bride on her wedding day is pretty cool,” he concluded.

On Tuesday, Trudeau’s office issued a statement to say that he would “not engage’’ with Sun Media journalists until Quebecor — Sun News’ parent company — had addressed the issue to his satisfaction.

The temptation to shut out all Sun Media journalists in protest over Levant’s grotesque commentary

was probably irresistible. From a human standpoint, it is certainly understandable. But it also sets the party on a slippery slope familiar to most veteran parliamentary correspondents.

Liberal insiders who argue that it is too much of a leap to think that an opposition party that shuts out an entire news organization over the comments of one commentator would, once in government, expand its black list based on more political criteria are whistling past a cemetery of good intentions.

I write this as someone who was heckled daily for more than a year on the way up to question period by a demonstrator determined to out me as a so-called separatist mole after my then-employer, Le Devoir, adopted a pro-sovereignty editorial stance.

Under Jean Chrétien, the prime minister’s spin doctors were not averse to dismissing all francophone journalists as sovereigntist sympathizers the better to convince our English-speaking colleagues that our coverage deliberately distorted the Quebec reality.

The current Conservative government has gone further. It has rejected the previously accepted notion that the parliamentary press gallery has a role in the democratic process and it treats them as an enemy faction.

It is a rare journalist who has never had cause to disagree with or cringe over either the editorial stance or some of the commentary of his or her media organization.

If there is a debate to be had over the Levant commentary, attributing guilt by employer-association is hardly the way to go.

organizations have a social responsibility to ensure that minimal journalistic standards are maintained by their organizations would be a better place to start.

That question is particularly relevant when it comes to Quebecor, the property of a man — Pierre Karl Péladeau — who aspires to take on the leadership of the Parti Québécois.

Would the mantle of party founder René Lévesque, a Quebec journalist of great integrity, sit well on the shoulders of a media tycoon who turns a blind eye to how low the standards of fundamental political decency have fallen within one of his organizations?

Does PKP subscribe to the notion that anything goes in political coverage as long as it is targeted at a foe or a rival? If so, is Sun News’ coverage of Trudeau what one can expect from TVA and the Quebecor French-language tabloids if and when their owner leads the PQ in electoral battle?

Like Trudeau, Péladeau had a father who used to be a public figure in his own right. Does he actually believe that by virtue of his political ambitions his late father’s name should become fair game for rival media groups?

Finally what about Brian Mulroney, the former prime minister who now heads the Quebecor board?

In his previous political life he was rightly appalled when Frank magazine ran a contest to deflower his then teenage daughter. Does he now believe that Quebecor should lead the way in setting a new low in what wrongly passes for political coverage?

Prentice slags ad campaign BUILDING ALBERTA

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Premier Jim Prentice heaped scorn on former premier Alison Redford’s seven-figure signature Building Alberta branding campaign Thursday — and then he drove a stake through it.

Prentice criticized the 300 Building Alberta signs that now crowd the Alberta landscape, announcing everything from road repairs to building start-ups and always including Redford’s name. “You know, 300 signs staked out in the ground isn’t a good measure of performance — and you’re not going to see my name on any signs,� Prentice said to applause in a speech to the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association. “What you’re going to see is the minister of finance and the minister of infrastructure standing up in the seat of democracy ... tabling a report card on where we are on the capital build.�

Prentice, speaking later to reporters, confirmed the campaign will be shelved, but not at added cost. “I’m not prepared to invest dollars removing (the signs),� he said, adding he got an earful from Albertans on them while on the Progressive Conservative leadership campaign trail this summer.

He said the government may still put the signs to use, such as affixing new information on them to deliver updates and timelines on the progress of the construction.

NDP Leader Brian Mason said that means Building Alberta will live on in some fashion. “It sounds like (Prentice) wants to keep signs on highways, but he just wants his message on there, rather than Alison Redford,� he said.

Building Alberta was a branding program that at its height touched every piece of good news information that emanated from the Redford government.

Besides being on the signs (at a total cost of $1 million), it was on government business cards, helpwanted ads, brochures, Twitter hashtags, jackets, Internet and broadcast ads and as a tagline on every

announcement made by the government.

The dominant colour scheme of Building Alberta was orange and blue — the same colours of the governing PC party.

Often the events came with cheering crowds, balloons, dancing mascots and smiling children, prompting critics to say Redford was using Building Alberta events to campaign on the taxpayers’ dime.

Building Alberta was not seen at controversial news gatherings, such as when the government responded to reports of covering up the deaths of children in care or when it revoked the right to arbitration for its largest public sector union.

Building Alberta was seen as so critical to Redford, it played outside the rules.

Last year, the Wildrose party revealed a leaked email from a frantic Redford aide ordering staff to ignore tendering rules if necessary to fast-track construction of Building Alberta signs in the hard-hit flood zones of Calgary and southern Alberta ahead of a crucial PC party vote on Redford’s leadership. “The premier would like to ensure that Building Alberta signage is up and in front of every floodaffected road, bridge, school, etc.,� wrote Darren Cunningham, Redford’s political adviser.

Redford, at the time, said the ads were critical to combating societal anxiety in the flood zone. “Putting up those signs shows the commitment we have to the Building Alberta plan,� said Redford. “That is hope.�

Redford quit as premier in March as revelations surfaced she had abused the government air fleet for personal reasons.

It was later revealed she was also using public dollars to build a lavish suite for herself on top of a government building, and that government flight manifests had been doctored with bogus passengers to allow Redford to fly alone.

Redford’s chief of staff, Farouk Adatia, was found to be making $357,000 a year in salary and benefits, more than the chief of staff to U.S. President Barack Obama.

EDMONTON — Mayors from small town Alberta say they are getting more and more frustrated with the federal government over changes it has made to the temporary foreign worker program.

Alberta Urban Municipalities Association president Helen Rice says federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney doesn’t seem to get why businesspeople in the province are upset.

The group is holding its annual convention in Edmonton this week.

Slave Lake Mayor Tyler Warman says it’s frustrating that the two members of the federal cabinet calling the shots on this, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Kenney, are both Albertans.

Ottawa is considering lifetime bans and heftier fines for employers who violate the rules on temporary foreign workers.

The federal government overhauled the program in June to ensure Canadians are first in line for jobs and making it more difficult for employers to hire temporary foreign workers. “Hello? Are you listening to us out there?

You know, this is a guy that federally represents Alberta. Like what part of this is hurting us does he not understand?�

Rice said Thursday to applause.

Many mayors say businesses will have to close within a year, when the contracts for the current crop of workers runs out.

Kenney has said if provinces such as Alberta don’t like Ottawa’s crackdown on temporary foreign workers, they should be spending more federal transfer funds on vocational schools.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS UNITED NATIONS — Canada contributed another $30 million to the fight against the Ebola outbreak in Africa on Thursday and welcomed a UN plan to co-ordinate the international response to the crisis.

International Development Minister Christian Paradis said the new money will be channelled through the Canadian Red Cross and other agencies.

The announcement came as U.S. President Barack Obama warned that the world has not done enough to fight a crisis which he said poses a grave threat to regional and global security.

“There is still a significant gap between where we are and where we need to be,” Obama told a highlevel United Nations meeting. The outbreak has the potential to become a human catastrophe, he said.

World Bank President Jim Yong Kim warned Thursday of a potential “meltdown” of the African continent. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said the number of cases doubles every three weeks.

He wants almost $1 billion in aid over the next six months to tackle the outbreak.

Canada earlier contributed $5 million and hundreds of doses of an experimental vaccine to fight the deadly outbreak. Canadian specialists and mobile labs are on the ground in the infected region.

“As the number of cases continues to rise, it is obvious more needs to be done,” Paradis told a news conference in New York. “We need to combat the disease as well as the fear that surrounds it if we are to be successful.”

He said the international response needs to be better organized.

“Canada continues to be deeply concerned by the inadequate co-ordination of efforts at this time. The specific role of the UN and other lead agencies such as the military and (non-governmental organizations) needs to be made clear.”

He said the fallout from the disease will resonate for years.

“The economic and social impacts will be felt long after it’s contained.”

The most severely affected countries, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, have very weak public health systems and a shortage of medical personnel and infrastructure. They only recently emerged from long periods of conflict and instability.

The virus has killed about 3,000 people in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, Senegal and Nigeria since the outbreak began in the summer.

The epidemic continues to spread and health experts warn that the number of cases could skyrocket in the coming months without better efforts to contain the virus. The World Health Organization says earlier Ebola outbreaks came in remote villages near tropical rainforests in central Africa, but the latest involves major urban areas in the west of the continent. The agency says the average fatality rate for Ebola is around 50 per cent, although it has climbed as high as 90 per cent in some outbreaks.

It says this epidemic is the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the virus was first discovered in 1976, with more cases and deaths than all the others combined.

Margaret Chan, director of the health organization, told the UN meeting the virus is still ahead of containment efforts.

The United States has sent 3,000 troops to Liberia to set up facilities and form teams to train locals to treat Ebola victims.

Congress has started to respond to the president’s call for $1 billion in aid.

But Obama warned other nations that the U.S. can’t go it alone.

“Everybody’s got to move fast in order for us to make a difference,” he said. “If we do, we’ll save hundreds of thousands of lives.”

Turkey joins NATO, Muslim coalition to destroy Islamic State group

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Turkey is joining its NATO allies and fellow Sunni Muslim nations in a coalition to destroy the Islamic State militant group, moving from reluctance to refusal and finally acceptance. But the world is still waiting for details of any new, specific aid and is warily watching to make sure Ankara keeps its commitments.

Often described as a difficult partner, Turkey long has resisted being used as a launching pad for foreign troops to attack neighbouring nations. Most recently it has been accused of harbouring — or at least helping — Islamic State group militants by letting them traffic fighters, weapons and lucrative oil shipments over its borders.

But the rampant insurgency has put Turkey at peril. The mostly peaceful nation that depends heavily on international tourism is now grappling with a two-fronted threat from militants who have overtaken much of bordering Syria and Iraq, as well as from Kurdish separatists whom Ankara has fought for decades. Moreover, an estimated 1.5 million Syrian and Iraqi refugees have fled to Turkey, where the economy is already fading.

Until this week, Turkey was coy about whether it would contribute to a coalition of what the U.S. says is about 50 countries that have united against the Islamic State group. For months, the world largely gave Turkey a pass as it sought to free 49 of its diplomats, family members and employees who were kidnapped by the militants from the Turkish Consulate in Mosul, Iraq, in June.

The hostages were freed last weekend, prompting the U.S. and other coalition nations to press Turkey on what it would contribute.

President Barack Obama and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke briefly Thursday in what the White House described as a discussion on “steps we can take to advance our already strong co-operation” against the Islamic State. The two leaders agreed to continue consulting.

“We’ll always get more than people think we’re officially getting, and we’re always going to get less than what we would want,” James F. Jeffrey, former U.S. ambassador to Turkey and Iraq, told a forum this week at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “In the end, Turkey will come

along.”

Jeffrey was speaking specifically about whether Ankara will let allied forces launch airstrikes from the U.S. air base at Incirlik, located within 100 miles (160 kilometres) of the Syrian border. Yet his words aptly sum up what U.S. officials describe as Washington’s overall relationship with Turkey: a push-and-pull diplomacy that rarely satisfies either nation. But Turkey finally may now have the upper hand. As it is heavily courted by the U.S. and allies in the West and Mideast to contribute, Turkey is in a better position than ever to demand international support for its own needs — in the name of fighting the Islamic State group.

Even so, Turkey remains a stubborn partner.

On Thursday, Egypt cancelled a meeting between its foreign minister and Turkey’s top diplomat at the United Nations General Assembly, according to Turkish media. The snub came after criticized Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi about last year’s overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood-led government in Cairo. Erdogan’s political party has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

And senior State Department officials say Turkey has yet to pledge any specific new assistance to the coalition, despite a number of continuing meetings on the matter.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the negotiations by name, but Erdogan met Thursday with Vice-President Joe Biden, who greeted the Turkish leader as his “old friend” and congratulated him on the hostages’ release.

Earlier this week, Secretary of State John Kerry confidently announced that “Turkey will be very engaged on the front lines of this effort.” Erdogan affirmed that “we will do our part” and said Turkey’s planned contributions include “everything — both military and political,” according to Turkey’s DHA news agency. The Turkish parliament next week is expected to consider a yearlong extension of crossborder military operations into Iraq and Syria.

At summits this month in Wales and Saudi Arabia, Turkey balked at committing specific assistance, despite its proximity to Iraq and Syria and its unique role as both a NATO partner and overwhelmingly Sunni state. Erdogan has for years espoused a “zero problems with our neighbours” policy that resists military action against its border states.

Pope removes bishop after complaints about protecting priest

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARAGUAY

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Thursday forcibly removed a conservative Paraguayan bishop who had clashed with his fellow bishops on ideological grounds and promoted a priest accused of inappropriate sexual behaviour.

The removal of Bishop Rogelio Ricardo Livieres Plano, a member of the conservative Opus Dei movement, marks the second time Francis has kicked out a conservative bishop for the sake of keeping peace among the faithful and unity among bishops.

In March, he ousted the “bling bishop” of Limburg, Germany, whose 31-million-euro ($43-million) new residence complex caused an uproar among the faithful.

Livieres was named bishop of Paraguay’s second city, Ciudad del Este, in 2004 and immediately disturbed other more progressive Paraguayan bishops by opening his own seminary that followed a much more orthodox line than the main seminary in the capital, Asuncion. Paraguay’s bishops are known for their progressive bent in a poor country where liberation theology found fertile ground.

Relations between Livieres and the rest of Paraguay’s bishops worsened when he got into a public spat with the then-archbishop of Asuncion, whom he accused of being gay.

Livieres also infuriated advocates for victims of sexual abuse by taking in and promoting an Argentine priest, the Rev. Carlos Urrutigoity, whose former superior in the U.S. had said was a “serious threat to young people.”

Urrutigoity has denied allegations of sexual impropriety, has never been

charged and hasn’t been accused of sexually abusing minors. In 2004, though, the diocese of Scranton, Pennsylvania, settled a lawsuit against him, another priest and the diocese for $400,000. The suit had alleged the two men engaged in a pattern of sexual misconduct, the Global Post has reported. Earlier this year, the Vatican sent a cardinal to investigate problems in Livieres’ diocese, particularly concerning the seminary. The investigator reported back to Francis, and Livieres was summoned to Rome this week to discuss his future.

Colleagues say he refused Vatican requests to resign, leaving Francis with what the Vatican said was the “onerous” decision to remove him. The Vatican said in a statement Thursday that Francis acted for the good of the church in the diocese and for the sake of unity among Paraguayan bishops.

He named Bishop Ricardo Jorge Valenzuela Rios, a Paraguayan, to temporarily replace Livieres.

There was no reference in the Vatican statement that Livieres’ removal had anything to do with Urrutigoity.

Rather, the Vatican spoke of the need to maintain unity among Paraguay’s bishops, suggesting that political and ideological issues were of far greater concern to Rome and that Urrutigoity’s past was a secondary factor.

As a result, the removal underscored the deep ideological shift in the Catholic Church with Francis in charge. Vatican watchers say it is highly unlikely that Pope Benedict XVI would have removed either Livieres or the “bling bishop,” since both had strong supporters among the more con-

servative prelates in Rome who appreciated their firm orthodoxy in the face of opposition from more progressive parts of the church.

In a letter late Thursday to the head of the Vatican office for bishops, Livieres complained that he had never received the written report from the Vatican investigation and was never asked to respond to any of its findings.

He called the decision to remove him “unfounded and arbitrary” and based purely on ideological grounds, with the decks stacked against him from the start by fellow bishops jealous that his seminary was attracting new priests while theirs in Asuncion withered. He even took a slight dig at Francis, complaining that while there is much talk under Francis about mercy, dialogue, decentralization of the church and respect for the authority of local church leaders, “I never got the chance to speak to Pope Francis, not even to clarify any doubts or concerns.”

Urrutigoity had been a member of the schismatic, traditionalist Society of St. Pius X. After leaving the society, he joined the Scranton diocese, where he founded a priestly society where the pre-Vatican II old Latin Mass was celebrated. In 2004, Scranton Bishop Joseph Martino suppressed the society, citing financial instability and allegations of sexual misconduct against Urrutigoity.

Despite Martino’s warnings, Livieres in 2005 allowed Urrutigoity to join his diocese in Paraguay’s second-largest city. Urrutigoity’s supporters say he is the victim of a smear campaign, first in the United States and now by Paraguayan prelates who have an ideological axe to grind with Livieres.

Advocates for sex abuse victims

FORT WORTH, Texas — A rifle used in the 1966 sniper rampage at the University of Texas that left 16 people dead and dozens more wounded is being sold in an online auction.

Bids are starting at $25,000 for a rifle Charles Whitman used to shoot from the top of a clock tower on the campus in Austin.

Donald Weiss of Dallas told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Thursday that he’s helping the owner of the Remington 700 sell the weapon, which has changed ownership several times over the decades. Bids are being accepted on the website of Texas Gun Trader.

The rifle was listed in a probate court inventory in Travis County, according to a copy of the 1967 document shared with AP. The executor of Whitman’s estate sold the weapon and six others recovered from Whitman’s arsenal at the tower to a Wichita Falls gun dealer, according to Weiss.

“The deal in Texas is, no matter what’s happened or how many people were shot, this is private property,” Weiss said.

He declined to reveal the owner’s identity.

Whitman, 25, was a Texas student and former Marine when he opened fire just before noon on Aug. 1, 1966.

Police who made their way to the tower’s observation deck shot and killed Whitman after the sharp shooter spent more than an hour firing on people with terrifying accuracy — hitting people as far as 500 yards (457 metres) away. More than three decades later, a 17th death would be attributed to Whitman in 2001 when a Fort Worth man died of injuries from the shooting.

Chilean officials say man dies from downtown explosion, latest in long string of bombings SANTIAGO, Chile — The fiery explosion of a homemade bomb killed a man in downtown Santiago on Thursday, officials said, adding to a string of blasts in Chile’s capital.

Prosecutor Claudio Orellana initially said the man was handling the bomb when it exploded about 1 a.m., but he later opened the possibility that the man was a bystander. Witnesses posted online photos of the man in flames before he was taken to an emergency clinic where he died.

Doctors at the clinic said the man, identified as Sergio Guillermo Landskron Silva, had grave injuries as well as burns. The coroner’s office said he was 29.

The dead man’s brother, Bastian Landskron, expressed doubts that his sibling was involved in planting a bomb, saying he was a drug addict who didn’t live with the family and had no friends. Prison records show Sergio Landskron had completed a five-year sentence for theft and been free since June.

Officials say anarchist cells have planted some 200 bombs around Santiago over the past decade, including 30 so far this year. The only other fatality was also a man believed to be planting an explosive.

President Michelle Bachelet on Thursday described the bombings as “terrorist acts, but isolated.”

The explosion came two days after three alleged anarchists appeared in court and were ordered held on suspicion of planting at least four bombs, including one that injured 14 people at a shopping plaza near a subway station this month.

Interior Minister Rodrigo Penailillo said the design of latest bomb appeared to differ with that used in the subway blast.

Authorities: Motorcyclist from England dies after driving on wrong side of road in U.S. WOODLAND, Utah — Authorities say a motorcyclist who died after driving on the wrong side of the road was a 61-year-old man from Cheshire, England.

Utah Highway Patrol said David Morgan died in a crash that happened a little after noon Wednesday east of Woodland in Summit County.

Troopers say Morgan and another tourist who was also vacationing from England were driving their motorcycles onto the wrong side of State Route 35 when a truck approached. Vehicles in England drive on the left side of the road instead of the right.

One of the motorcyclists swerved out of the way, but one was hit. Troopers say both the truck and motorcycle went down a steep, 100-foot (30-meter) embankment.

The motorcyclist died on scene.

The truck driver was airlifted to the hospital in serious condition.

A8 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Sept. 26, 2014

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of young families caught crossing the U.S. border illegally earlier this year subsequently failed to meet with federal immigration agents, as they were instructed, the Homeland Security Department has acknowledged privately.

An official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed that about 70 per cent of immigrant families the Obama administration had released into the U.S. never showed up weeks later for follow up appointments.

The ICE official made the disclosure in a confidential meeting at its Washington headquarters with immigration advocates participating in a federal working group on detention and enforcement policies. The Associated Press obtained an audio recording of Wednesday’s meeting and separately interviewed participants.

On the recording obtained by the AP, the government did not specify the total number of families released into the U.S. since October. Since only a few hundred families have already been returned to their home countries and limited U.S. detention facilities can house only about 1,200 family members, the 70 per cent figure suggests the government released roughly 41,000 members of immigrant families who subsequently failed to appear at federal immigration offices.

The official, who was not identified by name on the recording obtained by the AP, also said final deportation had been ordered for at least 860 people travelling as families caught at the border since May but only 14 people had reported as ordered.

In a statement emailed Thursday afternoon, ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen said the no-show rate “represents an approximate snapshot of individuals encountered beginning in May” who didn’t reported to ICE. Christiansen added that some of those people may still be reporting to immigration court hearings and a “significant” number of deportation cases are still pending before judges.

In a statement, ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen did not respond to questions from the AP about the newly disclosed figures. Instead, she said the agency was committed to increasing its capacity to detain and quickly deport families who crossed the border illegally.

The AP reported in June that the administration would not say publicly how many immigrant families from Central America caught crossing into the U.S. it had released in recent months or how many of those subsequently reported back to the government after 15 days as directed. The AP noted that senior U.S. officials directly familiar with the issue, including at the Homeland Security Department and White House, had dodged the answer on at least seven occasions over two weeks, alternately saying that they did not know the figure or didn’t have it immediately at hand.

The Homeland Security Department’s public affairs office during the same period did not answer roughly a dozen requests for the figures.

More than 66,000 immigrants travelling as families, mostly mothers and young children, have been apprehend at the border since the start of the budget year in October.

Nearly 60,000 of those immigrants are from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala and cannot be immediately repatriated, so the government has been releasing them into the U.S. and telling them to report within 15 days to the nearest Immigrations and Customs Enforcement offices.

At the meeting, the ICE official acknowledged the no-show figures while explaining the administration’s decision in June to open a temporary detention centre for families in Artesia, New Mexico. A second immigration jail in Texas was later converted for families and can house about 530 people. A third such detention centre will open in Texas later this year. Before the new facility in Artesia, the government had room for fewer than 100 people at its only family detention centre in Pennsylvania.

Immigration advocates have complained that the new detention centres were punishing immigrants who ultimately may win lawful asylum claims to remain in the U.S. In the meeting, they also questioned whether immigration officials had clearly and properly instructed immigrants to meet with federal agents within 15 days.

The ICE official said it was necessary to detain families to ensure they didn’t vanish into the U.S.

German gambler’s luck: machine spits out $1,300 as police descend, saving player from prison BERLIN — A gambler in Germany has been saved from prison by a one-armed bandit.

Police said Thursday that two officers carrying out routine checks at an arcade in the western city of Bochum late last week discovered that a man playing a slot machine faced an arrest warrant.

He had been ordered to pay a 710-euro ($910) fine or go to prison for 71 days after resisting police during a previous incident.

Police say that as officers informed the man that he faced arrest, the slot machine started to flash and the beaming 37-year-old won a jackpot of 1,000-euro (about $1,300).

The man paid his fine on the spot — in cash.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s leader said Thursday that “the most dangerous part of the war” has passed and that the conflict with pro-Russia separatists in the country’s east is on the wane. Artillery fire, however, still rang out in the region’s largest city.

In a news conference in Kyiv outlining a six-year plan for Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko said: “I have no doubt whatsoever that my peace plan will work and that the main and most dangerous part of the war is behind.”

Poroshenko’s plan includes reforming all major government agencies in the country. The president said he hoped those reforms would make the country ready for membership in the European Union by 2020.

But Poroshenko spent much of the news conference fielding questions about a conflict in the east of the country, where fighting between government and rebel forces has killed at least 3,500 people since mid-April.

His peace proposal, which was laid out soon after he became president in June, were the foundation for agreements this month aimed at ending the fighting.

The first step was a cease-fire called three weeks ago that in the beginning was repeatedly violated.

In recent days, reports of violations have decreased notably, although on Thursday the city council of Donetsk, the largest rebel stronghold in the region,

said that artillery fire and other explosions could be heard throughout the city during the day.

Poroshenko also said he is working to arrange a meeting within the next few weeks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but stressed it was contingent on whether the cease-fire was implemented or not.

Poroshenko, who has been at pains to justify striking a deal with the Russia-backed rebels, spent much of the news conference defending his decision to sign a peace agreement with the insurgents and said he believed Russian policy toward Ukraine had turned a corner.

“At the beginning, Russia’s objective was clear,” he said. “Certain people in the Kremlin administration thought Ukraine was a giant with feet of clay.

They thought they could just push us, and the entire southeast of the country would dissipate.”

“I would sincerely like to believe that the relation of Russia (toward Ukraine) and their plans are changing — there has been a kind of transformation.”

Ukraine and Western countries claim that Russia sent troops and equipment into eastern Ukraine to back the separatist rebels, something Russia denies.

Russia was a party to peace talks that led to a cease-fire in the region on Sept. 5. In another agreement signed Saturday, all sides agreed to remove heavy artillery from the front lines, creating a buffer zone that would help enforce the cease-fire more effectively.

Most dangerous phase of conflict has passed: Ukraine president

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Sept. 26, 2014 A9

Indonesia votes to scrap direct regional elections JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesia’s parliament voted Friday to scrap the direct elections of local officials in what critics say is a blow to the country’s democracy. The bill is supported by a coalition of parties whose candidate was narrowly defeated in July’s presidential elections.

Direct elections for mayors, regents and governors began in 2005 as part of Indonesia’s democratic transition after 1998 fall of Suharto dictatorship. The bill which is passed early Friday stipulates they will now be chosen by the local parliaments as they were prior to 2005. The president will continue to be directly elected.

“It is hard not to view this bill as a blunt political manoeuver to return electoral authority from the people to party leadership in the face of electoral defeat in the presidential election,” Andrew Thornley, an Indonesian election expert at the Asia Foundation, wrote in a blog post Thursday. An online petition rejecting the bill has been signed by more than 54,000 people, while several surveys showed that majority of Indonesians support direct elections.

The vote was held after a walkout of lawmakers from the ruling Democratic Party, who supported direct elections.

The vote represents an early defeat for President-elect Joko Widodo, whose party had voted against any changes in the electoral process.

The coalition of losing candidate Prabowo Subianto has a majority of seats in the national parliament and has vowed to disrupt Widodo’s presidency.

Subianto’s supporters had argued that direct elections were expensive and had produced corrupt , inefficient leaders.

Canadian man found with 51 live turtles stuffed in pants

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A Canadian who was caught at the border with 51 live turtles stuffed down his pants is facing charges in the U.S. over an alleged reptile smuggling operation, recently unsealed court documents show.

The U.S. federal court documents show officers with the Canada Border Services Agency intercepted Kai Xu as he attempted to cross into Windsor, Ont., from Detroit last month.

“During the secondary inspection, Xu was found to have 51 live turtles taped (sic) to his person,” Kenneth Adams, a special agent with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, stated in an affidavit outlining the criminal complaint. “Specifically, Xu had 41 turtles tapped (sic) to his legs and 10 hidden between his legs.”

Canadian authorities seized the turtles, which included North American varieties such as eastern box turtles, red-eared sliders and diamondback terrapins — some of

which sell for $800 each — and turned them over to American officials.

While the interception occurred in August, details were only made public after Xu and a second Canadian, Lihua Lin, 30, of the Toronto area, were arrested and charged in U.S. district court this week following an investigation by the Fish and Wildlife Service.

Xu, 26, and Lin appeared in federal court in Detroit on Thursday charged with smuggling, illegal trading and exporting.

They could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

In a separate criminal complaint against Xu’s co-accused filed with the court, Special Agent Matthew Martin described how wildlife officials witnessed “known reptile smuggler” Xu pick up several boxes of live turtles in Novi, northwest of Detroit, on Tuesday.

He drove them to a hotel near the Detroit international airport, where he placed the reptiles in a room he had booked for two nights. He later met up with Lin at the hotel.

On Wednesday, Xu dropped Lin off at the airport bound for Shanghai, China.

Lin checked in two pieces of luggage and a search turned up more than 200 North American pond turtles. Lin was arrested after saying he had nothing to declare.

None of the allegations has been proven in court and the accused have not offered a defence.

The turtles are apparently prized as food or pets in China.

In his detailed complaint, Adams described how his agency had received a tip Aug. 5 from a courier company in Detroit about a parcel addressed to Xu that was awaiting pickup. The brown box, which had been shipped from Alabama, weighed about three kilograms and had no air holes but carried the notation “Live fish — keep cool.”

On the same day, U.S. border agents notified the fish and wildlife agency that Xu had crossed into Detroit from Windsor in an SUV. Adams and other agents then staked out the courier depot, where Xu arrived to pick up the brown parcel.

Vipers want to get bite back HERITAGE JUNIOR B HOCKEY LEAGUE TEAM HOPING TO GET BACK TO FORM SHOWN TWO YEARS AGO

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF The objective is simple for the Red Deer Vipers this year: Get back to playing Vipers hockey.

2013-14 was an unmitigated disaster for the club that one season earlier had won the Heritage Junior B Hockey League’s North Division.

Head coach Stephen Pattison lost the locker room, the team slumped to fourth in the division and was ousted in a three-game survivor series by the Three Hills Thrashers.

Pattison was replaced by former captain JD Morrical just before the start of the postseason, but there was no time to turn things around.

Morrical has already made it clear to the players, last season will not happen again.

“I wasn’t here last year, but I came to a few games and watched and it was tough for me to watch them play like that, because I know what their winning potential is,” he said. “I’m expecting good things out of this team.”

Morrical was a three-year Vipers captain and one of their top players in recent history, scoring 150 points (49 goals, 101 assists) in 116 games with 121 penalty minutes over four seasons.

His biggest attribute is he has the respect of the locker

room.

“My brother got the chance to play with him and I got to hear about how he was one of the greatest captains and a great leader,” said current captain Justin Corbett. “Then the guys he has on the bench (Kaare) Odegard and (Brennan Francon), they’ve both got the credentials so they’re easy guys to follow.”

Corbett, who was given the ‘C’ in January, says last year it was a locker room divided.

“There was a lot of things inside the dressing room, people just did not agree with what was being coached and it kind of turned everyone against each other,” he said.

Morrical is hoping Corbett can take hold of that leadership role this year and have everyone fall in line.

“I don’t want to have to be the guy that does that role, we have leadership in there that needs to step up and take it on,” said Morrical, who is also joined by assistant coach Jeff Kohut. “I’m willing to do it, I don’t mind pumping the guys up, but it’s got to come from the guys in the room, it can’t come from us all the time.”

This year expectations are high for a return to league final, though their biggest road block will likely be the archrival Blackfalds Wranglers who swept their home-andhome series — 10-3 and 5-3 — to close out the pre-season.

Red Deer Vipers forward Brett Hoppus gets the corner on Blackfalds Wranglers defenceman Jordy Potter in Heritage Junior B Hockey League exhibition action at the Red Deer Arena.

They return a strong cast from last year, with the biggest losses up front being second and third leading scorers Kolton Gillett and Chris Robertson, respectively.

Still there should be enough offence with top pointgetter Cole deGraaf (18 goals, 24 assists) back for his fourth year while Corbett (17-15-32) was just shy of a point a game last year as well.

Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum Giants rout Redskins at home

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Giants 45 Redskins 14 LANDOVER, Md. — He wasn’t drafted, people mispronounce his name, and he had no idea where he was going when he was ushered into the room for his first big NFL postgame news conference.

But Larry Donnell can find the end zone.

And, once he gets there, all he has to do is turn his 6-foot-6, 265-pound body around and haul in the pass from Eli Manning.

It happened three times in the first half Thursday night in the New York Giants’ 45-14 victory over the Washington Redskins.

“You set your goals high,” Donnell said.

“I didn’t expect it to come so quick, but it has.”

He has become Manning’s top receiver, the perfect target in the team’s new dink-anddunk offence.

The second-year tight end out of Grambling State caught twisting grabs of 5, 6 and 6 yards, touchdowns so similar he had trouble differentiating them in his mind.

“They all tie into each other,” he said. “Every time I think about one, I just smile from ear to ear, man. It’s just a great feeling. ... When we’re down there, you make eyes with Eli, you know he’s about to throw it.”

After struggling in his first two games running new offensive co-ordinator Ben McAdoo’s West Coast playbook, Manning has led the Giants (22) to consecutive victories.

Manning is supposed to complete 70 per cent of his passes in this offence, and he surpassed that mark against the Redskins, going 28 for 39 —

New York Giants defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins (99) falls on a loose ball as Washington Redskins tackle Tyler Polumbus (74) closes in after Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was sacked during an NFL football game in Landover, Md., Thursday. The New York Giants recovered the fumble. including three simple openfield drops — for 300 yards with four touchdowns and one interception.

Manning also ran for a 1-yard score, as did Andre Williams, and the Giants forced six turnovers.

“That was the whole thing, to be able to leave here tonight and be 2-2 and 1-0 in the division. That was huge,” New York coach Tom Coughlin said.

“It’s exciting to be in the hunt, and by being able to come out of here with a win, hopefully we have a chance to be.”

Donnell — it’s pronounced “don-EHL”, not “DON-ehl” — beat a trio of defenders for his hat trick of touchdowns: linebacker Perry Riley, safety Brandon Meriweather and rookie cornerback Baushad Breeland. They barely knew what hit them.

“He’s better than what we thought,” Meriweather said.

“And by the time we made that adjustment, he was three touchdowns in.”

Donnell finished with seven catches for 54 yards. He had only one career touchdown catch entering the game, but he now leads the Giants this season in TD catches (4) and overall receptions (25). Daniel Fells had a 2-yard scoring catch in the third quarter, which means tight ends have snagged seven of Manning’s nine TD passes this season.

New York’s Victor Cruz added six catches for 108 yards, his second consecutive 100-yard game.

Kirk Cousins and his receivers weren’t anywhere near as efficient for the Redskins, whose six giveaways led to 31 points for the Giants.

to score goals,” said Morrical.

“Right now we’re expecting to score goals but we’re not willing to put the work in.

“We’re looking for three lines to score goals, I don’t think we have anyone that will put 100 points up, but we have five or six guys that I think could easily get 40 or 50 points this year.”

Bleackley returns to captain Rebels

THIS WEEK IN REBELS HISTORY

BIG THINGS EXPECTED OF FIRST-ROUND NHL DRAFT PICK

Justin Weller scored the eventual winner as the Rebels battled back from Justin a 2-0 firstWelller period deficit to down the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes 4-2 on Sept. 25 of 2009. The big defenceman, drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes three months earlier, pounced on a turnover at the Lethbridge blueline, then carried the puck into the right faceoff circle and ripped a high shot past netminder Michael Tadjdeh. “I saw something on the short side and I was lucky enough that (the puck) went where I shot it,” said Weller, who moved on to the pro ranks in 2012 and played two seasons with the Gwinnett Gladiators of the ECHL. Weller, 23, is now attending the University of Alberta and will redshirt this season before joining the Golden Bears next year.

WHO’S HOT Swift Current Broncos C Jay Merkley accumulated a leagueleading seven points — including Jay Merkley five goals — in a pair of season-opening wins over the Moose Jaw Warriors.

WHO’S A SINNER Portland Winterhawks RW Travis McEvoy racked up a leagueleading 19 minutes in Travis penalties as McEvoy the ‘Hawks lost to the Seattle Thunderbirds and Prince George Cougars last weekend.

HE SAID IT “I think that’s the way they have been (in the past). I don’t want to say it doesn’t surprise me John but there’s Paddock a lot of undisciplined play. There’s some older guys on that team, they have no clue (about) disciplining themselves with the referee and in their play.” — Regina Pats first-year head coach John Paddock, to the Regina Leader-Post, following the team’s 6-1 home-opening loss to the Brandon Wheat Kings last Saturday, a game in which the visitors went four-fornine on the power play.

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR As one high-profile captain prepared to make his exit this week, another official team leader returned to the Red Deer Rebels.

Of course, New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter is a baseball legend, while Rebels skipper Conner Bleackley is just beginning what should be a long and successful career on the ice. But the 18-year-old first-round pick of the Colorado Avalanche in June’s NHL entry draft is arguably as important to the Rebels as Jeter was to the Yankees.

“He’s our captain and we expect him to take another step this season,” Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter said Thursday. “There are things he needs to continue to work on with his game and Colorado has talked to him about that.

“He’s going to be a pro player. He’s a first-round pick, now hockey has to become his priority and we expect big things from him.”

The Denver Post reported that Avs bench boss Patrick Roy wasn’t happy with Bleackley’s fitness level in training camp, hence his earlier than expected return to the Rebels.

“I don’t really have a comment on that,” said Bleackley, coming off a breakout WHL season in which he sniped 29 goals and piled up 68 points.

“It was obviously disappointing to be sent back so early, but I’m just excited to be back here in Red Deer and get my season going. We have an exciting group here.”

Bleackley admitted his first NHL camp was an eye-opener.

“It was good to get up there and see what life is like in Colorado, play against older guys and measure myself against them,” he said.

The High River native got into one preseason contest with the Avs. “The speed of the game was faster and obviously the guys at that level are a lot bigger, faster and stronger, so it was a good experience,” he said.

Another aspect of the pro game that stood out to Bleackley was the structure of play.

“Everybody is kind of in the right place, there’s not as many mistakes as in junior,” he said.

“It’s almost an easier game,

per se, but definitely a lot faster and guys are a lot stronger.

Those are the biggest things I noticed.”

At six-foot-one and 198-pounds, Bleackley plays a power game while equipped with high-end skill and a heavy shot. He’ll be aiming to put everything together on a consistent basis this winter in the hopes that he’ll sign an NHL contract sooner than later.

“It’s a goal of mine,” he said, in reference to the deal that’s sure to come in the near future.

“I was hoping to get it done in camp, but obviously I have some work to do and that’s something I’m focused on.

“I think that taking care of the on-ice things first and winning here directly correlates to that and to individual success. That’s my focus.”

Bleackley is eagerly awaiting his WHL debut — Saturday’s 7 p.m. meeting with the visiting Kootenay Ice. He’s also jacked up about the potential of his team.

“For sure, I watched the first game (last Friday’s 5-3 home-ice loss to Kootenay) on internet and it was good to see them win in Calgary (4-1 the next night),” he said. “That hasn’t happened very often since I’ve been here.

Obviously we have a lot more depth now than we used to, especially on defence. I’m real excited about Saturday’s game and being a part of it.”

While Bleackley wasn’t willing to discuss Roy’s problems with the young forward’s conditioning, Sutter wasn’t mum on the subject.

“We’ve addressed this with Conner in the past,” said the Rebels boss. “It’s not what he does in the winter, it’s how he’s been training through the summer and obviously it hasn’t been where it needs to be.

“I had a good talk with him the other night and told him ‘this is where you’re at in your career now, you’re a first-round pick and this has to be your priority — doing what you can to be the best player you can be.

If you want to make it a career, it can be a healthy and wealthy career, but you have to key in and be very disciplined in everything you do.’

“It’s just his personality, just the way he is, but he has to change some of that. But that being said, it doesn’t change the type of person he is . He’s a great kid. He’s a very good play-

INSIDER

Hitmen, who had a 20-year-old logjam of their own before dealing Padakin and trading Trochu native Mike Winther to the Kamloops Blazers.

Considering the chaos that he recently experienced, the import forward was happy to find a new hockey home.

Padakin had planned to turn pro with HC Donbass Donetsk of the Kontinental Hockey League this season, but the team was forced to take a one-year leave of absence after its arena was burned in the spring. The team insisted it was the work of proRussian separatists who had been responsible for a wave of violence in the region.

“You never get used to it,” Padakin told the Regina Leader-Post. “Every day I’m talking with my parents and my first question is: ‘How is the situation in Ukraine?’ One day it can be better and another day it can be worse. Who knows what happens tomorrow?” ● In the deal that involved the biggest name, the Silvertips landed highly-skilled Russian forward Nikita Scherbak from the Saskatoon Blades, giving up goaltender Nik Amundrud and first- and second-round bantam draft picks in return.

Winger Graham Millar, who was Scherbak’s teammate last season with the Blades, expressed his admiration for

Scherbak, who was selected by Montreal in the first round of this year’s NHL draft and is currently in the Canadiens’ camp, to the Everett Herald.

“He’s amazing,” Millar, who was acquired from Saskatoon during the offseason, said about Scherbak. “Just the way he skates, he’s so fast and powerful. It’s real exciting for him to come here.

“He took over our team last year. The way he moved, he took over games by himself. It was impressive to watch.”

Meanwhile, first-year Blades head coach Bob Woods insisted that while the rebuild is underway in Saskatoon, he has every intention of steering his team into the playoffs this season.

“I don’t think my vision of that has changed,” he told the Saskatoon StarPhoenix. “Nobody thought this was going to happen overnight. I like a lot of the pieces we have in place. I believe if we can make a few additions or adjustments here we’ll be a tough team. Our vision is still there.”

Woods showed he’s not giving up on the current season by acquiring overage forward Sam McKechnie from the Seattle Thunderbirds Thursday.

McKechnie scored 26 goals with Lethbridge two years ago. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Shinkaruk helps Canucks down Flames in preseason

It was a shift early in the second period, however, where Bennett really had the Scotiabank Saddledome crowd on the edge of their seats.

First, he cut in front of the net quickly after looking he was going behind and fooled nearly everyone but could not tuck the puck in the near post. Right after on a shot from the blue-line, Bennett deftly deflected a point shot out of mid-air and on net. Next rush up the ice, he took the puck hard to the net, had his shot stopped, but ended up bulldozing Lack in the process.

As he got up off the pile in the goal crease, the crowd gave him a loud ovation.

Those three shots in less than 30 seconds gave Bennett five on

the game and at the time, that was more than the Vancouver Canucks team had.

In 15:58 of ice time, Bennett finished the game with a game-high seven shots.

Down 2-0, the Flames pulled within one at 17:07 on the power play when Bennett’s shot was blocked by Luca Sbisa but Monahan corralled the rebound and put a backhand past Eriksson.

Vancouver opened the scoring 2:45 into the second period when Higgins ripped a shot into the top corner over the glove of Hiller.

Later in the second after some sustained pressure in the Flames zone, Jensen capitalized, taking pass out from behind the net and sneaking a shot inside the goal post before Hiller could get across.

Mariners keep slim playoff hopes alive with win over Blue Jays Kansas City Royals and Oakland Athletics in the race for the two American League wild-card spots.

“We’re still in the ring, still fighting,” said Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon.

Fernando Rodney gave up a solo homer to Kevin Pillar in the ninth inning before picking up his major league-leading 47th save.

Norris retired the first eight batters he faced. On a limit of about 60 pitches, he was pulled after giving up a one-out walk to Kendrys Morales in the fourth inning.

The 21-year-old left-hander, who made four relief appearances earlier this month, excelled in the minor leagues this year but has noticed a dip in his fastball speed since being called up.

“It’s obvious my stuff is not really there,” he said. “It’s tough to try to pitch without your stuff but sometimes that’s the competitor (in you) that has to come out.

“I think that’s what I tried to do today, was go out there and com-

Mariners 7 Blue Jays 5 TORONTO — With his team eliminated from post-season contention, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons turned to a rookie pitcher and a new-look lineup for Thursday’s series finale against Seattle.

The results were mixed.

Daniel Norris turned in a decent performance in his first bigleague start but the Mariners fought back for a 7-5 victory to avoid a four-game sweep and keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

Gibbons rested regulars like Jose Reyes, Dioner Navarro and Jose Bautista and inserted several late-season callups into the lineup. Dalton Pompey of Mississauga, Ont., was the leadoff man while the bottom half of the order featured Toronto native George Kottaras, Kevin Pillar, Anthony Gose and Ryan Goins.

Pompey had a decent game with a run, a hit and two walks while Norris gave up one hit and two earned runs over 3 1/3 innings.

“That’s a big thing, a lot of guys don’t get that chance to come up at the end of the season,” Gibbons said. “When (players) go into a new season and they get called up for the first time, it can be a little intimidating. “(Playing now) is going to help them all, regardless of the results.”

NFL: Killing us A strip-sack by Mathias Kiwanuka set up New York’s first touchdown, Trumaine McBride’s strip of tight end Logan Paulsen after a catch ended a Washington drive deep in New York territory, and Prince Amukamara, Quinten Demps, McBride and Antrel Rolle intercepted Cousins’ passes in the second half.

“I’ve got to look at my play,” Cousins said, “because that was killing us at the end there.”

Cousins, who has the starting job while Robert Griffin III recovers from a dislocated ankle, finished 19 for 33 for 257 yards with four interceptions and a fumble for first-year coach Jay Gruden’s Redskins (1-3), who dropped into the cellar in the NFC East, already 2 ½ games behind the unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles. Cousins threw three interceptions in a span of five attempts in the second half; Griffin has never thrown three picks in an entire game.

pete without your big guns.”

Todd Redmond relieved Norris and gave up an RBI single to Kyle Seager that cut Toronto’s lead to 2-1. Morrison followed with a nodoubt blast to right-centre field that brought three more runs across.

Pompey showed some flashes of his potential throughout the game.

He walked in the fifth inning, took second on an errant pickoff attempt, stole third and scored on an Edwin Encarnacion sacrifice fly.

Adam Lind drove in Munenori Kawasaki later in the frame to tie it before Seattle went ahead to stay in the sixth. Morrison took an Aaron Loup (4-4) pitch over the wall for his 11th homer of the year.

“I don’t have any idea how I hit that guy. He’s filthy,” Morrison said. “I blacked out. I don’t know what happened. Obviously playing every day has helped my timing.

I know this is the type of player I can be.”

However, I doubt whether even a healthy Willy would make a big difference in the game because the ‘Cats are currently one of the best teams in the league after a shaky start.

Hamilton quarterback Zach Collaros makes it easy to understand why Henry Burris is a former Ticat because Collaros is already one of the best young stars in the CFL. The Ticat defence now has a big bite and I pick Hamilton to win this game.

The last game of the weekend is another big one because it is a Saturday night clash between the 7-5 B.C. Lions and the 10-2 Calgary Stampeders. These teams met in mid-summer and the Lions eked out a close one-point victory over Calgary in the Aug. 1st game. Superstar Calgary tailback Jon Cornish was not available in August and will face the Lions for the first time in the regular season. He will not be enough because the Stamps are missing too many starters on both sides of the ball, including quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell.

I pick the Lions to win the last game of Week 14 in the 2014 CFL season.

On the back end they have five veterans on the blue-line returning: Eric and Justin Moltzahn, Kyle Kapalka, Adam Ferguson and Jon Finnigan. The one addition on defence is hulking 18-year-old rookie Brett Marsollier, who measures in at six-foot-four and 190 pounds.

“He’s a big defenceman we’re really going to rely on and he’s been playing well,” said Morrical.

“The rookies are not the issue, it’s the core leadership we are trying to fix up.”

One of the big questions, however, will be in net.

The only returning goalie is 18-year-old Innisfail netminder Klay Munro, who played well in his first season with the Vipers, posting a 9-6-0 record with one shutout. But with a 4.37 goals against average and a .860 save percentage he has much to prove to grab hold of the starter’s spot full time.

As camp closed, the Vipers stiull had three other goalies battling for on other spot — Conner Zenchuk, Lane Congdon and Rylan Bardick.

“The starting position is up for grabs,” said Morrical. “Clay will be here for sure ... it’s a very competitive position right now. We had nine goalies throughout camp and right now we’re down to four.”

It is Corbett’s final season of junior hockey and he wants to make it a memorable one.

“I don’t want to jinx anything, but hopefully we can get back to North Division champs and get to provincials,” said Corbett. “It’s going to take everyone coming together and being a team and not getting mad at each other.”

The puck drops on the Vipers’ season tonight with a tough road trip down to Okotoks to play the fourtime defending league champion Bisons at 8 p.m.

They return home on Saturday to host the Airdrie Thunder at 8 p.m. at the Red Deer Arena. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Canucks 3 Flames 1 CALGARY — Calgary native Hunter Shinkaruk scored for the Canucks as Vancouver downed the Flames 3-1 on Thursday despite being outshot 31-23.

Playing in front of a bunch of friends and family, Shinkaruk tipped a shot from Kent Huskins on net that was stopped, but he batted the rebound out of midair and past Brad Thiessen at the 9:49 mark of the third period. It was Shinkaruk’s second goal in as many games.

Chris Higgins and Nicklas Jensen also scored for Vancouver, who improve to 2-1-0 in exhibition play.

Sean Monahan scored for Calgary, whose pre-season record falls to 2-2-0.

Eddie Lack got the start in net for the Canucks and was perfect on 20 shots before being relieved halfway through the second by Joacim Eriksson. Lack has stopped all 36 shots he’s face in his two pre-season appearances.

Jonas Hiller made his second start for the Flames. He faced only 12 shots in two periods of action, stopping 10 of them.

The buzz going into the game was the much anticipated pre-season debut of Sam Bennett, who the Flames selected fourth overall last June in the NHL Draft, making him Calgary’s highest draft pick in team history.

Hampered to begin training camp by a strained groin, Bennett finally got to participate in a regular practice with the team on Tuesday.

His abilities on the ice were evident in the first period. In the opening 20 minutes, Bennett had two shots and on a couple occasions made a couple of slick moves with the puck that left Canucks

Av’s Roy not expecting another Jack Adams

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — After putting up 112 points and winning the Jack Adams Trophy as coach of the year in his first season behind an NHL bench, what can Patrick Roy possibly do for an encore?

Even a coach with Roy’s self-confidence doesn’t see his second season with the gifted young Colorado Avalanche going that well.

“There are a lot of coaches that are better than me, but I believe I’ll continue to learn,” Roy said Thursday.

“And the worst part of this is, I’m sure I’m going to be a better coach along the way and I’m probably never going to win the Jack Adams again.

“It was a great year. It was fun, but now it’s behind us.”

The Avalanche are on a two-game swing through Roy’s old patch, with games Thursday night in Montreal, where he starred for the Canadiens for 10 seasons, and Friday night in Quebec City, where he built the Remparts into a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League power after his Hall of Fame playing career ended.

Roy was lured away last season to become head coach and vice president of hockey operations for the Avalanche, who he helped win two Stanley Cups after his bitter parting with the Canadiens in 1996.

The fiery Roy’s impact was felt immediately on a team stacked with budding stars like Matt Duchene, Gabriel Landeskog and 2013 first overall draft pick Nathan MacKinnon.

The Avs finished second overall in the Western Conference and tied a franchise record with 52 victories, although they lost in seven games to Minnesota in the first round of playoffs.

Roy told his players at the start of camp not to focus on trying to match the 112 points, but to keep improving their overall game.

“We’re playing in a tough conference, and it’s pretty easy to be humble in that conference,” he said. “With the quality of the teams, you know that to make the playoffs you have to be outstanding all year.

“Last year we were lucky and didn’t have many injuries. This is a big factor.

We could have as good or better a year than last year and not have 112 points.

We want to make sure we continue to get better. Our young guys need to continue to grow. This is how we’re going to measure ourselves, not with the

number of points.”

Roy wants to continue to play entertaining, offence-oriented hockey, but to improve on defence as well. He understands the Avalanche’s style leads to a lot of shots against, but he feels if they keep shooters more to the outside and cut down on quality scoring chances they will be a better team.

The Avs had five players with 60 or more points last season, although one of them, Paul Stastny, left as a free agent for St. Louis.

Roy opted to fill the void with older, more experienced players to provide leadership for his young squad. Jarome Iginla was signed as a free agent, and P.A. Parenteau was traded to Montreal for veteran centre Daniel Briere.

“We were not looking for guys that necessarily be the top players on the team, but we were looking for veterans who could help our younger players to continue to grow,” he said.

Parenteau filled a need in Montreal, which lost right wingers Thomas Vanek and Brian Gionta in the off-season.

The diminutive Briere did not get a lot of ice time in Montreal playing mostly on the fourth line, but he was best in the playoffs, particularly in a tough seven-game win over rival Boston. The Avs intend to use him on their third line.

Roy said the deal was good for both clubs.

“You want players that are happy with you,” he said. “I’m not saying P.A. wasn’t happy with us, but this year it would have been tough for him to play on the top two lines and I think he would have been unhappy.

“This trade will serve him very well.

He can play on the top two lines in Montreal, play on the power play. He’s a very good hockey player and I’m sure the people in Montreal will love him.”

Briere and another former Canadien, Alex Tanguay, were not in the lineup in Montreal but were slated to play in Quebec City, which will be an Avs’ home game.

Briere, a Gatineau, Que., native, had only good things to say about is one season in Montreal, which included a trip to the Eastern Conference final.

“I feel fortunate that I had the chance to play here and wear that uniform for a season,” he said. “The playoff run we had, and winning in seven games in a Original Six series with Boston was really cool. So there were a lot of good memories.”

Briere rejoined the team after spending two days in Philadelphia

Roy is not expecting to repeat as the league’s Jack Adams winner. with his son Caeren, who broke a thigh bone playing hockey and underwent surgery on Monday.

Duchene, who led the Avs with 70 points last season, likes having the new veterans around.

“They’ve been through the battles,” he said. “They’re looking to win the Cup and they saw us as a team that has a chance. It’s good for us young guys.

You can learn from the best.”

Roy said the veterans were excited to see pre-season games scheduled for Montreal and Quebec City, which is where the franchise started out from 1979 to 1995 before moving to Denver.

So was Duchene.

“I love coming into the Bell Centre and looking at the banners up top,” he said. “It’s pretty cool playing under Maurice Richard’s banner. He’s the reason I wear no. 9.”

Sabres starting fresh in net in life after Miller

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — Defenceman Tyler Myers immediately sensed something was different in the Buffalo Sabres’ locker room when he arrived for the start of training camp.

The welcome sight of Ryan Miller — with his ever-unshaven face, steely eyed stare and sometimes brooding presence — was missing from his familiar perch in front of the oversized goalie stall at the far end of the room.

“It’s a different feeling for sure,” Myers said.

“He did his thing on the ice, but he was such a presence off the ice as well in the dressing room.”

“Miller Time” ended in Buffalo when the star goalie was traded to St. Louis in February, and then signed with Vancouver in free agency this summer.

That leaves the Sabres preparing to open their first season since Miller took over in 2005 without an established starter. The change comes after

Detroit GM Ken Holland says Pavel Datsyuk to miss 4-5 weeks with shoulder injury DETROIT — Pavel Datsyuk is expected to miss the start of the regular season because of a separated right shoulder.

Detroit general manager Ken Holland said his star centre will miss 4-5 weeks. The 36-year-old Datsyuk was injured in the Red Wings’ exhibition opener at Pittsburgh on Monday night when checked into the glass by Penguins defenceman Rob Scuderi.

The Red Wings open the season Oct. 9 against Boston.

“The good news is that there’s two weeks to go before the regular season starts,” Holland said. “He’ll have two weeks of healing under his belt.”

Datsyuk missed 37 games in 2013-14, 30 from a knee injury and seven with a concussion. He still managed 17 goals and 37 points in 45 games.

Datsyuk, who helped Detroit win two Stanley Cups, is a three-time Selke Trophy winner and four-time Lady Byng Trophy honoree.

But the Red Wings are deep at centre. Captain Henrik Zetterberg, who sometimes plays on the same line with Datsyuk, is healthy after missing half of last season because of back surgery.

Stephen Weiss — who had a lost season in 2013-14 and underwent sports hernia surgery — seems healthy and looks to return to his previous form.

He’s penciled in as the second-line centre.

Riley Sheahan is slated to be the No. 3 centre after emerging last season, when the Red Wings were second to Pittsburgh in man-games lost to injury.

Darren Helm, the No. 3 centre when healthy the past few seasons, was a wing on Datsyuk’s line in training camp and Monday’s preseason opener.

However, Helm broke his nose Monday night.

Buffalo spent last season completing a near top-to-bottom overhaul in which they switched coaches, general managers, purged much of its veteran core and finished with an NHL-worst 21-5110 record.

“That’s what our message was to our players: It’s a fresh beginning,” coach Ted Nolan said.

“We appreciate everything Ryan did, but now it’s Jhonas and Neuvirth’s time.”

Nolan was referring to Jhonas Enroth, Miller’s backup, and Michal Neuvirth, who was acquired in a trade with Washington in March.

Enroth earned an early preseason edge in the competition after stopping 35 shots in a 2-0 win over Carolina on Tuesday.

“It was a good first game, but just preseason still,” Enroth said. “I went into the game trying to have good habits and work hard, and it paid off.”

Neuvirth is a candidate to make his first preseason appearance Friday, when Buffalo hosts Toronto.

Though the two are newly united in

Buffalo, they’ve shared a similar path to the NHL. It began in Europe, where the 26-year-olds were born three months apart (Enroth in Sweden, and Neuvirth the Czech Republic), and grew up playing against each other in various international tournaments. It continued in the NHL draft in 2006, when they were separated by 12 picks in the second round: Neuvirth was selected 34th by Washington, and Enroth 46th by Buffalo.

Then came last spring, when both spent time visiting the same doctors to rehab season-ending injuries — Enroth a right knee, and Neuvirth a hip and groin — sustained two games apart in Buffalo.

“We kind of bonded a little bit being hurt together,” Enroth recalled. “Yeah, we’re good friends now.”

And competitors, too, with big skates to fill.

Miller, the NHL’s 2010 Vezina Trophy-winner, set franchise records with 284 wins and 540 games played, and was the team’s unquestioned leader.

“This is the chance I’ve been wanting for pretty much my whole career,” Enroth said. “But I’m not going to try to fill his shoes, I’m just going to try to be myself.”

He has had an up-and-down career in Buffalo.

Enroth opened by going 9-3-2, and became the NHL’s first goalie to earn his first three wins in shootouts. Then came last season, when he had an 0-104 skid, which ended with a 29-save performance in a 5-4 overtime win against Boston on Feb. 26, two days before Miller was traded.

Overall, he has a 25-25-12 record with three shutouts.

Neuvirth has the better numbers, with a 59-43-13 record and seven shutouts. But he proved to be the odd-man out in Washington, first behind Semyon Varlamov and then Braden Holtby.

“I put the last two years behind me, and now I’m looking forward to this season,” Neuvirth said.

“I think we’re going to push each other. I feel like we’re going to be a good tandem.”

Hurricanes’ Jordan Staal to miss 3-4 months after surgery on broken leg

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Already looking at an uphill climb to end a five-year playoff drought, the Carolina Hurricanes’ job got even tougher with the news that Jordan Staal will have surgery on his broken right leg and miss three to four months.

Staal will have surgery Friday in Raleigh, N.C., according to general manager Ron Francis, to repair a fractured fibula. The 26-year-old from Thunder Bay, Ont., was injured when he got tangled up with Buffalo Sabres defenceman Josh Gorges on Tuesday night.

“That’s tough,” Gorges said Wednesday when told of Staal’s injury but before anyone knew how long he’d be out.

“He’s a good player for that team. You don’t want to see a guy go down like that the first game of the pre-season.”

This is the latest in a series of freak injuries for the Staal brothers in Carolina. Eric took a hit from Alex Edler at the 2013 world hockey championship that led to a strained ligament in his right knee and had surgery to repair a “core muscle” injury this past summer.

Jordan Staal had been an iron man since the Hurricanes acquired him from the Pittsburgh Penguins at the 2012 draft, playing in all 130 games since the trade.

He began a US$60-million, 10-year contract last season.

Staal’s injury puts a dent in the Hurricanes’ plans to start the season under new coach Bill Peters.

“He’s a big piece of what we’re going to do moving forward,” Peters told reporters in Buffalo on Tuesday night.

Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal grimaces as he lays on the ice during the third period of an NHL hockey preseason game against the Buffalo Sabres, Tuesday, in Buffalo, N.Y. Staal will be out 4-3 months after breaking his leg. of the season means the Hurricanes will have to lean more heavily on Elias Lindholm and Riley Nash. And the onus is always on Eric, the captain.

This NHL pre-season has included a handful of high-profile injuries, including Pavel Datsyuk’s shoulder and Claude Giroux’s groin.

But much like the New York Rangers’ Derek Stepan missing the first four to six weeks with a fractured fibula, Jordan Staal’s break was a case of bad luck and timing.

“The puck got moved up to him, I stepped in front of him to try to separate him from the play,” Gorges recalled.

“We got kind of tangled up. He tried to grab around me to switch positions and the next thing I know he fell, must’ve got tangled up and I went right over top of him.

“It was one of those plays that as soon as I landed on him, I heard him scream. I knew right away something must’ve been hurt.”

A referee came over to tell Gorges that Staal’s injury looked pretty ugly.

The long-term prognosis didn’t turn out to be any better.

“You don’t like to see that, and I hope he has a quick recovery,” Gorges said. “That’s a tough break, I feel for him.”

‘Mr. Everything’ ready to contribute against Riders

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Edmonton Eskimos signed free agent Kendial Lawrence as an injury fill-in early this season, but the 25-year-old Texas native is proving to be a valuable and versatile addition to the CFL club.

The five-foot-nine, 195-pound running back/receiver out of Missouri has been Mr. Everything for the Eskimos.

He filled in at slotback when injuries took out Fred Stamps then A.J. Guyton.

He became a running back when John White and then Tyler Thomas were hurt.

When Joe Burnett and Pat Robertson were injured, Lawrence became a kick and punt returner.

In total he has produced 806 yards and every time he gets his hands on the ball he averages 9.1 yards. He doesn’t care how he gets the football, whether via a handoff or a pass or a kick, he just wants it in his hands as much as possible when the Edmonton Eskimos meet the Saskatchewan Roughriders Friday evening.

“I prefer just having the ball in my hands period,” he said Thursday. “It’s not selfish. It’s a big responsibility and I take that very seriously. I love to have the ball in my hands.”

Lawrence has moved between running back and receiver — often in the same game — since getting on the game roster July 24 against Calgary. He had two catches for 36 yards and two carries for 24 in that game.

In eight games, he has 16 receptions for 180 yards and one touchdown, 55 carries for 382 yards (second on the team only to quarterback Mike Reilly) and two TDs, two kick returns for 42 yards and 15 punt runbacks for 202 yards.

On Friday he will line up at slotback with John White back at running back after missing six games with a broken finger.

Reilly said having both White and Lawrence on the field at the same time “makes the defence have to worry

Ottawa Redblacks’ Seth Williams attempts to stop Edmonton Eskimos’ Kendial Lawrence during CFL action in Ottawa on Aug 15, 2014. Lawrence is being known as Mr. Everything for the Eskimos contributing at many key positions and is ready to contribute at slotback against the Saskatchewan Roughriders tonight. about multiple things.”

“John White is a great running back.

He’s done a tremendous job for us when he’s been healthy and he adds a dimension of power that defences don’t like to see. I don’t think defences want to see him out on the field.”

Head coach Chris Jones said White is “certainly one of our most explosive players with the ball in his hands. He’s a good blocker, he’s very physical.”

The question, however, is how effective the Eskimo running game will be against Saskatchewan’s aggressive defence.

After losing Thomas last week in

Hamilton, the Eskimos ran the ball just nine times for 48 yards, losing for the third time in four games. That dropped them to 8-4, a game behind the 9-3 Roughriders.

Friday’s game is the first of three times the teams will play each other in the final six weeks of the schedule.

“When you come out in any given situation there will be times when you have to pass the ball, just to move it down the field, to get points,” Lawrence said the Eskimos lack of runs in Hamilton.

“I wouldn’t say there’s a lack (of commitment to the run), there’s just a

bigger emphasis on the pass when we need it.”

Jones said the Eskimos are a ballpossession team and therefore have to run the ball. But there are situations where defences force the quarterback to dump the ball in the flats.

That, he said, is still a running play enough though it goes as a pass on the stats sheet.

Saskatchewan will have basically the same roster as last week. The Eskimos have White back but lost Thomas, will have Otha Foster replacing Shamawd Chambers and are still without defensive end Marcus Howard.

McGill football star charged in domestic violence claims he’s the victim: lawyer

Banners Screen Printing T-shirt Printing Vehicle Lettering

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The lawyer for a star McGill University football player charged in an alleged case of domestic violence says his client was the victim and not the aggressor.

Luis-Andres Guimont-Mota, 22, was formally arraigned in Montreal on Thursday on charges of assault and uttering threats against his estranged wife.

He was immediately released on $300 bail and a host of conditions.

The third-year business management student and starting running back was arrested at a downtown apartment on Wednesday morning.

By late that evening, McGill said the player in question had been immediately suspended as per the university’s varsity athletics guidelines.

“What’s particular in this case is my client is the victim and not the aggressor, contrary to the cases in the United States,” said defence lawyer Steve Hanafi, referring to a spate of domestic violence cases involving National Football League players.

Hanafi said the university was too hasty in suspending Guimont-Mota from the football team and that he and his client would challenge the decision.

tering 216 tackles and nine interceptions.

McDonald admitted his year away from the game humbled him as a man and a player and made him realize he may have taken previous opportunities for granted.

Despite his past experience, McDonald said he’s feeling a little nervous as he prepares for Friday’s game.

“I haven’t had butterflies in my stomach for a long time so I’m really looking forward to it,’’ he said. “I wish we could play today.’’

Despite last week’s meltdown there was much too like about the Redblacks’ game, especially from quarterback Henry Burris.

Burris and the offence finally managed to put some points on the board as they scored a season-high 32 points — two more than the Redblacks had scored in their previous four games combined. It was the first time Ottawa scored more than 20 points in a game since July 26th.

“I did a lot of investigative reporting on our team and watched a lot of film to see what could I bring to the table to help our team be more successful,’’ said Burris. “Using my feet was definitely one of the things I concluded with. Just buying time and also putting a little fear into the defensive line’s mind just so they can’t just rush the pocket and I’ll be there and it helped out in step one. If need be I’ll do it again here in this game as well.’’

OTTAWA — Brandon McDonald and the Ottawa RedBlacks have a lot in common, as both are looking to learn from their mistakes and move forward.

The RedBlacks (1-10) want to put last week’s disastrous finish against the Saskatchewan Roughriders behind them and find a way to win another football game. Ottawa’s last win was July 18th against Toronto.

Despite leading much of the game the RedBlacks were forced to deal with their eighth straight loss, 35-32, as they continue to make costly mistakes.

A pass interference penalty moved the Riders to the RedBlacks’ one-yard line with 54 seconds left in regulation, allowing Saskatchewan to score the game-tying touchdown. Ottawa then had a potential game-tying field goal blocked in overtime.

Ottawa hosts the Montreal Alouettes (4-8) Friday night and remain positive despite last week’s disappointment.

“We knew it was a short week and sometimes that’s a blessing in disguise,’’ said Ottawa head coach Rick Campbell. “We’re limited in our preparation because it was a five-day week with travel, but it doesn’t allow you to sit around and dwell on things and it’s an opportunity to go out there. It’s going to be a sold out crowd and it could be a fun night around here, we just have to hold up our end of the bar-

gain.’’

McDonald, who was signed ten days ago, knows all about the need to put the past behind and focus on what lies ahead. The 29-year-old defensive back was forced to accept that a future in the NFL was no longer an option and any chance of resuming his professional football career could ultimately lie in Ottawa.

McDonald spent six years in the NFL, but when no one came calling and he sat out the entire 2013 season the Collins, Miss., native knew he had some tough choices to make.

It was either walk away from the game completely or look north, and with a competitive fire still burning McDonald made his decision.

Earlier this season McDonald spent time on both the B.C. Lions and Calgary Stampeders practice rosters, but failed to make a strong enough impression to crack the game-day lineup.

Friday night McDonald will finally get his opportunity to put his skills on display as he lines up for the Redblacks.

“I know I can still play at a high level and I know I still got plenty of years left in the tank so I don’t want to finish until I’m done,’’ said McDonald. “I just want to play. Football is what I love to do; it’s what I’ve always loved to do.’’

Selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL draft McDonald played 80 games with four different teams over his career, regis-

Watson to Ryder Cup rookies: ’I’m going to Ryder Cup begins with big atmosphere throw you in the ocean without a life preserver’ and a ’main event’ in every match

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENEAGLES — As if players don’t already face enough pressure in the Ryder Cup, the walk into golf’s most boisterous arena goes through a tunnel of time.

One side of the short tunnel is painted American red and celebrates past victories, with images of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, Paul Azinger and Ben Hogan.

The other side is European blue with a roll call of winners that feature Tony Jacklin and Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie and Bernhard Langer.

Emerging from the tunnel, players immediately see blue bunting on a three-story hospitality suite with the words, “Where Legends are Forged.”

Take a breath.

They make their way to the first tee, where a U-shaped grandstand has 1,892 seats filled with fans who are chanting, singing and stomping.

This is no ordinary golf tournament.

“It’s like walking into a football stadium,” said Stephen Gallacher, who grew up near Gleneagles and has never seen the course looking like this.

Not with fans 10-deep on both sides of the fairway, draped in flags of the European Union, the nine European countries represented, and yes, even the Stars & Stripes.”

“That tunnel has got some iconic images through it, and you’ll hear the crowd, you’ll hear the noise,” Justin Rose said.

And there was one more touch to add inspiration to the home team.

From the first tee, players can’t help but notice a message written across the back of the 50-foot grandstand behind the 18th green to the left. It’s a quote from Seve Ballesteros, forever the face of European golf in the Ryder Cup. “As a player and captain, there are unforgettable moments when you are competing for the people of your continent.”

Four long days of speculation and anticipation give way to the most frenetic three days in golf, starting with a tee shot unlike any other.

“It’s definitely the most impressive first hole we play throughout our careers,” Sergio Garcia said. “That tee shot on the first is always different, the way they build it up and all the songs you hear and everything.”

It all unfolds onFriday morning when Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson go for a third straight victory in fourballs against Rose and Henrik Stenson.

Considering the last two Ryder Cups — both European victories — were decided by one point, every match matters.

Europe has won seven of the last nine times, and it has not lost on home soil since 1993 when Tom Watson was the American captain.

Going back in time to change its fortunes, the U.S. team brought back Watson to lead the way.

At 65, he is the oldest captain in Ryder Cup history.

Watson stuck with what has worked, and he threw in a few wrinkles. Bubba Watson and Simpson won both their fourballs matches at Medinah, wrapping up both of them on the 14th hole.

Keegan Bradley and Phil Mickelson went 3-0 at Medinah, and they are the anchor match against Rory McIlroy and Garcia, Europe’s most powerful tandem.

“We’re looking to hand them their first defeat tomorrow morning,” McIlroy said.

The new wrinkle?

Old Tom Watson created the youngest pairing in Ryder Cup history with 21-year-old Jordan Spieth and 24-year-old Patrick Reed going against Europe stalwart Ian Poulter and Gallacher,

another rookie and the lone Scot in a Ryder Cup that has not been held in the home of golf since 1973.

“I would imagine for the rookies, it’s going to be a bit of a shock,” Lee Westwood said of the first tee. “It’s a bit of an intimidating atmosphere, but nothing they can’t handle.”

Watson has been preaching redemption from the Americans’ meltdown at Medinah, where they lost the largest lead ever by a home team. Europe captain Paul McGinley is talking about a template of success, even though his four teams on Friday morning are entirely new.

“The fun is only starting now,” McGinley said.

“We relish the challenge.”

Adding to the fun are the final two matches.

Poulter is like a peacock, strutting around Gleneagles, eager as ever to show off his Ryder Cup feathers. He was singled out even ahead of McIlroy — a four-time major champion and golf’s No. 1 player — as the one guy Americans would love to knock off.

Watson is sending out a pair of rookies against him who have nothing to lose.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENEAGLES — The U.S. rookies are being thrown straight into the mix at the Ryder Cup. American captain Tom Watson is sending out all three of his rookies for Friday morning’s opening session of fourballs at Gleneagles — including two of them paired together against a European duo featuring another rookie.

Newcomer Jimmy Walker is paired with Rickie Fowler for the second match against Martin Kaymer and Thomas Bjorn, the 43-year-old Dane playing in the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2002.

In the biggest surprise, Watson chose to pair first-timers Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed for the third match, where they’ll face Ian Poulter and Scottish rookie Stephen Gallacher.

Watson offered this message to his rookie pairing: “I’m going to throw you in the ocean without a life preserver. You’re on your own. You get out there and you get it done.”

Watson said it’s important to get the three rookies to play the morning session, rather than sending them out first in the afternoon foursomes.

“It’s a good place to get their feet wet,” Watson said. “You would like to get them to play all 18 holes, play their own ball and get them out that way.”

The 21-year-old Spieth, who has five top-five finishes this year on the PGA Tour, will become the youngest player in 15 years to play in the Ryder Cup. He’s back in familiar surroundings: He played in the 2010 Junior Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, winning all three of his matches.

Fitting end for Jeter in Yankee Stadium finale FUTURE HALL OF FAMER DRIVES IN WINNING RUN TO BEAT ORIOLES

New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter jumps after hitting the game-winning single against the Baltimore Orioles in the ninth inning of a baseball game, Thursday, in New York. The Yankees won 6-5.

An elated Jeter jumped and raised both arms between first and second.

Yankees players rushed out to engulf him as former teammates such as Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Bernie Williams, Andy Pettitte, Tino Martinez and Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre lined up near the New York dugout waiting to greet the retiring captain.

“It was above and beyond anything that I’ve ever dreamt of,” Jeter said.

Jeter went back out to shortstop, crouched down at the edge of the outfield grass and bounced on his toes a couple of times before rejoining the

Quebec cabinet minister mulls government involvement in NHL bid

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS QUEBEC — Quebec’s premier is downplaying a suggestion from one of his cabinet ministers that the government could get involved financially in the project to get the NHL back in Quebec City.

Sam Hamad, who is minister responsible for the Quebec City area, raised the possibility of the Liberal government becoming a financial partner of Quebecor Inc., which has bought naming rights on a $400-million arena due to be completed by fall 2015.

Hamad said Wednesday the assistance could be in the form of a guaranteed loan.

He said Thursday that Quebecor (TSX.QBR.B) has made no request for financial aid. The media conglomerate’s controlling shareholder is Pierre Karl Peladeau, a member of the legislature for the Opposition Parti Quebecois.

Later in the day, Premier Philippe Couillard responded by saying Quebec taxpayers will not be on the hook for getting a team in Quebec City.

Any government involvement could be controversial given that Couillard’s government is in serious cost-cutting mode as it aims to return to a balanced budget.

“As a Quebecer, I would like to see a team (in Quebec City) one day,” the premier said. “But it’s not true that taxpayers, with public finances as they are, will be up for that.”

Jean Charest’s former Liberal government invested $200 million — or half the costs — in the construction of the new arena in Quebec City.

Hamad said public finances would have to be healthy for the government to get involved.

“If there’s an opportunity that the government believes is good for Quebecers, why not.”

One of Hamad’s cabinet colleagues was more reserved when asked about the possibility of the government getting involved financially.

Economic Development Minister Jacques Daoust said such support is usually made available when a transaction is too risky for financial markets.

“So, let’s ask ourselves a question in case we ever have to answer it,” Daoust said. “Is it the state’s role to intervene to buy a hockey team in a situation that is too risky for traditional (financial) markets? I’ll stop right there.”

Daoust insisted he wasn’t calling Hamad on the carpet.

“I share his enthusiasm,” he said. “I understand people in Quebec City wanting a hockey team. But let’s just say that when there is a financial transaction. it will be done my way.”

NHL PROPSECTS

Jack Eichel has goal, assist at USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game BUFFALO, N.Y. — Jack Eichel had a goal and an assist and was one of the best players on the ice as he helped Team Grier beat Team Olczyk 6-3 in USA Hockey’s All-American Prospects Game.

Eichel is considered a potential top pick in next year’s NHL draft along with Connor McDavid.

The Boston University centre showed patience and vision in setting up linemate Jeremy Bracco’s goal and scored his own when left open while going to the net.

Among the other prospects in the exhibition game were defenceman Noah Hanifin and Vancouver Giants forward Alec Baer.

USA Hockey said there were over 200 NHL scouts expected to attend.

The teams were coached by former NHLers Mike Grier and Eddie Olczyk.

group.

He tipped his cap again and was doused over the head with a sports drink by Gardner and CC Sabathia.

In one twist that hardly fit, Jeter’s home finale was the only game he ever played at Yankee Stadium with his team already knocked out of the playoff race.

When the Yankees were eliminated with Wednesday’s loss, it put all the attention Thursday entirely on the captain’s farewell — a feeling that must have been unsettling even for a 40-year-old mega-star as accustomed to

Running back Moissis Madu makes timely return to Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ offence

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CFL

Moissis Madu is making a timely return to the Hamilton TigerCats’ offence.

A hip pointer that also affected his back and spine forced Madu to miss last weekend’s 25-23 home win over Edmonton. But with incumbent C.J. Gable (shoulder) going on the six-game injured list this week, Madu gives the Ticats an experienced tailback for Saturday’s game in Winnipeg.

“Man, I hate sitting out, I hate being injured,” Madu said Thursday. “I’d never missed a game in my life before and to miss that one game it hurt me.

“I wanted to go out and help my teammates.”

The Ticats were in a real bind against Edmonton when Gable was hurt on their first play from scrimmage. With no other running back on the roster, sophomore fullback C.O. Prime, a converted linebacker, was pressed into action, forcing Madu, 26, a native of Bedford, Texas, to assume an impromptu role as running backs coach.

“He knows the offence because he’s in meetings with us but I wanted to give him a little pep talk and provide some pointers,” Madu said. “I just told him to go out and relax and play the game.

“When it comes down to it, it’s just a child’s game that we played as kids.”

The six-foot-one, 255-pound Prime had five carries for 17 yards, added a one-yard reception and provided solid pass protection. Not bad considering the 25-year-old Montreal native last carried the football eight years ago while in high school.

“He went and did his thing,” Madu said. “After the game I was so happy for him. He was all smiles.”

Now it’s Madu who’s all smiles

about being on the field as Hamilton (4-7) looks for its fourth win in five games. The Ticats enter weekend action tied atop the East Division with Toronto and Montreal (both 4-8).

The six-foot, 197-pound Madu 187 yards rushing on 44 carries this season with 25 catches for 293 yards. The former Oklahoma Sooner signed as an undrafted free agent with the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers in ’11 and played nine games that season, registering 55 yards rushing on 15 carries and 10 receptions for 72 yards before being released in August 2012.

He joined the New York Jets on Aug. 4, 2013 but was let go 27 days later. Madu signed as a free agent with Hamilton on Feb. 27.

Saturday’s game is also important to Winnipeg (6-6), which is coming off a bye week with ground to make up in the West Division.

Calgary (10-2) leads the standings followed by Saskatchewan (9-3), Edmonton (8-4) and B.C. (7-5).

Given the struggles of East Division teams, the crossover option looks very viable this year. If the fourth-place Western squad compiles a better record than the third-place Eastern club, it will become the East’s third playoff seed.

Despite its record Hamilton controls its playoff destiny, especially with five of its seven remaining games being against East rivals. That includes two against both Toronto and Ottawa and a regular-season finale at home against Montreal.

“We’ve talked about it . . . it’s our future,” Madu said. “We want to win the East Division and we’ve got to do it.”

Finishing first or second would secure Hamilton a playoff game at Tim Hortons Field, where the club is 3-0 since moving into the facility

on the Labour Day weekend. The Ticats opened the season playing at Ron Joyce Stadium, compiling a 1-2 record there.

Work continues at Tim Hortons Field but its seating capacity of 18,000 is nearly triple that of Ron Joyce Stadium. And Ticats fans have been much more vocal in their support of the home team at the new stadium.

“It’s a great atmosphere to be in,” Madu said. “Every game has been packed compared to McMaster. It got so quiet (at Mac) that sometimes you could hear a pin drop. That’s the one thing about the atmosphere, it’s going to motivate you to play . . . you know it’s going to get loud out there.”

Unfortunately, Saturday’s game is at Investors Group Field and Hamilton is a dismal 0-5 on the road. However, Winnipeg starter Drew Willy (shoulder) will be a game-time decision and the Bombers’ defence is allowing a CFLhigh 128.2 yards rushing per game.

“We always want to get a good run game going because it’s going to open up things for the passing game and will help the quarterback out,” Madu said. “We have a good run gameplan this week so I hope we put it to work.”

There are no such questions regarding Hamilton’s offensive leader. The Ticats are 3-1 since starter Zach Collaros’s return after missing five games with concussionlike symptoms.

“It means a lot,” Madu said.

“I love Zach, he’s a real cool guy, man.

“He’s a good leader, he takes charge of the huddle and he’s a guy who plays with confidence. He goes out there and just slings the ball and throws his body around.

You want to play for a guy like that.”

NEW YORK — The perfect script.

Derek Jeter capped his Yankee Stadium farewell with a game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning, the latest — and perhaps last — storybook moment in his charmed and illustrious career, to give New York a 6-5 victory Thursday night over the Baltimore Orioles.

Serenaded with adoring chants that echoed through the Bronx night, Jeter tipped his cap several times at shortstop and drove in three runs. He launched an early double off the leftcentre wall and saved the best for last, a sharp, opposite-field single to right that knocked in the winning run.

During the raucous celebration that followed, Jeter said he’s played his final game at shortstop, but he’ll likely play in some capacity this weekend in Boston.

It appeared Jeter’s tiebreaking grounder in the seventh would be the swing that sent the Yankees to a victory when they built a 5-2 cushion against the AL East champions.

Not bad — but not Jeter.

Nope, he’s always had a flair for the most electrifying kind of drama, and this night was destined to be no different.

As if it was planned all along, closer David Robertson (4-5) gave up a tworun homer in the top of the ninth to Adam Jones and a tying shot to Steve Pearce with two outs.

That only set the stage for Jeter one more time.

Jose Pirela hit a leadoff single in the bottom of the ninth against Evan Meek (0-4) and advanced on Brett Gardner’s sacrifice. Jeter lined the next pitch through a huge hole on the right side, and pinch-runner Antoan Richardson slid home ahead of Nick Markakis’ throw.

the spotlight as Jeter.

“He’s uncomfortable with what’s going on. He wants the focus to be on the team,” said Orioles skipper Buck Showalter, who was Jeter’s first manager when the shortstop broke into the big leagues in May 1995.

“His signature is winning. What other accolade can you pick? His teams won,” Showalter said. “Take a good look, because there are not going to be many like this come your way again.”

Jeter ended last season on the disabled list, so the only other time in his 20-year career (2,745 regular-season games) that he appeared in a game with New York already out of postseason contention was in Boston on Sept. 26, 2008.

Last year, Rivera chose to sit out the final three games in Houston after an emotional Yankee Stadium goodbye.

Heavy rain soaked the city all afternoon, but the sky cleared in the evening and the tarp was removed from the infield an hour before the first pitch. A rainbow, in fact, appeared over the stadium.

The game began right on time, but it didn’t start well for the Yankees.

Roll call by the Bleacher Creatures was interrupted just as they got to a roaring chant of “De-rek Je-ter!”

Markakis hit a leadoff home run for the Orioles, awkwardly silencing the sellout crowd of 48,613 that included rap star Jay-Z and other famous faces.

Alejandro De Aza followed with another long ball to right, the first time Baltimore had started a game with consecutive homers since hitting three in a row against Texas on May 10, 2012.

Jeter, however, hit an RBI double in the first against rookie Kevin Gausman, who was 4 years old when Jeter made his major league debut. The ball banged off the left-centre wall — just missing a home run by a couple of feet.

He scored on a grounder, and the fans were back into it.

Olympic champion Christine Nesbitt takes a break from speedskating

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Christine Nesbitt hasn’t laced up her speed skates since the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and isn’t sure when she will again.

The former Olympic champion in the 1,000 metres isn’t retiring, but she’s delayed the start of her season. Nesbitt might not race at all this winter.

The 29-year-old from London, Ont., is rehabilitating her left leg which essentially gave

out on her in the months leading up to the Winter Games in February.

Nesbitt captured Olympic gold in the 1,000 metres in 2010 and set a world record in the distance two years later. She’s won the 1,000 at the world single-distance championship three times.

A consistent podium finisher in World Cups, Nesbitt’s performance suddenly went sideways in the months leading into Sochi where she finished ninth in the 1,000.

“I have no idea when I’ll

be back skating,” Nesbitt told The Canadian Press on Thursday. “It could be this season.

The plan is to come back, but it just depends on how my body heals.

“Last year, I pushed myself far beyond what I should have, but it was an Olympic season.

I still view it this way. I had no option. I couldn’t take the year off.”

She believes the years of skating counter clockwise around ovals and leaning into her left leg simply took their toll at the worst possible time.

Bouchard With a QB controversy in tow, Miami Dolphins defeats head to London to play the Oakland Raiders Cornet to NFL advance to semis in China

WUHAN, China — Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard defeated Alize Cornet of France 6-3, 7-5 to advance to the semifinals at the Wuhan Open on Thursday.

The sixth-seeded Bouchard was leading 5-2 in the second set before letting Cornet back in the match, but the Canadian recovered to close out the victory.

Currently sitting eighth in the race to the WTA Finals in Singapore, the native of Westmount, Que., could qualify for the prestigious season-ending event should she capture the title in Wuhan.

Bouchard will face Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki in the semifinals. Wozniacki rallied to beat Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.

Third-seeded Petra Kvitova downed Caroline Garcia 6-3, 6-4 to also reach the semifinals.

Kvitova held serve throughout the match broke Garcia once in each set to complete the win in 1 hour, 21 minutes.

Kvitova would qualify for WTA finals in Singapore if she wins the title at Wuhan.

But first Kvitova has to get past fast-improving Elina Svitolina in the semifinals after the unseeded Ukrainian upset No. 7 Angelique Kerber 6-4, 7-6 (3) in the quarterfinals.

“I didn’t really expect that I would go in semifinal here, so was just trying to take it match by match,” Svitolina said.

quarterback Derek Carr is still looking for his first win in the NFL. The rookie from Fresno State has started all three games this year, and coach Dennis Allen seems to like what he sees.

“Obviously we felt good about him when we drafted him,” Allen said. “I knew he was really smart but I guess I didn’t know exactly how smart he was until we actually put him in those situations and watched him operate and watched him retain the information we were giving him.

“We’ve put a lot on him. We’re in no way limited as to what we can do with him at the quarterback position. We can throw a lot of different stuff at him. He does a great job operating it and keeping our offence on the same page.”

With a good game on Sunday, Carr could end up getting his first professional win in a foreign country.

FIRST HALF: The Dolphins have struggled plenty in the first half this season, trailing in all three games so far. And after opening the season with a win over the New England Patriots, the Dolphins have lost the last two by 19 points each.

Philbin has an easy solution to that problem.

“From an offensive perspective, more points,” the coach said.

The Dolphins have been averaging 5.2 yards per rush, second in the league. But they have been running only 37 per cent of time, lower than league average.

“I don’t think we’re necessarily going to be 50-50 all of the time,” Philbin said. “If you’re running the ball consistently well and managing the sticks pretty well, that’s a

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — As if a flight across the Atlantic Ocean to play a regular-season game wasn’t distracting enough, the Miami Dolphins don’t even seem to know who will be their starting quarterback.

The Dolphins (1-2) are headed to London to play the Oakland Raiders (0-3) at Wembley Stadium on Sunday in the first of three games in the British capital this season.

Miami coach Joe Philbin has been asked repeatedly if quarterback Ryan Tannehill will start, but he has been noncommittal.

If you ask Tannehill, at least you get an answer.

“I’m taking the first snap of the game and playing the game,” Tannehill said. “I’m prepared to my fullest and go out and try to put this team in a position to win games.

Nothing has changed in my preparation or how I’m approaching this game.”

The Dolphins arrive in Britain on Friday and plan to practice in the afternoon. The Raiders got to town on Monday and have been getting over the jet lag and getting into their usual practice routine.

Although they have been an ocean apart all week, the Miami quarterback controversy is not lost of the Raiders defence.

“I don’t want to get into what the quarterback is doing, is he good or bad,” Raiders cornerback Carlos Rogers said Thursday.

“They say he’s still the starting quarterback of that team, so obviously it’s not a backup that they trust, and he’s going to be out there.”

Here are some more things to know about Sunday’s game: THE OTHER QUARTERBACK: Raiders

good place to be.”

RUN, RUN, RUN: The Raiders have improved on stopping the run, but now they need to get their own rush going.

“Obviously we haven’t’ started as fast as we would like. That’s something that we constantly preach around here, getting off to a fast start and being able to execute early in the game,” Allen said.

“Not only getting off to a fast start in the first half, but being able to get off to a fast start in the second half of the football game.

We’ve kind of done that a little bit in spurts on both sides of the ball, but we haven’t done it as consistently as we need to.”

LONDON CALLING: The Dolphins are playing in London for the second time since the NFL started staging regular-season games in Britain, while the Raiders are on the island for the first time.

Miami lost to the New York Giants 13-10 in 2007.

There are two more games scheduled to be played later this season at Wembley, the home of England’s national soccer team.

The Atlanta Falcons will face the Detroit Lions on Oct. 26 and the Jacksonville Jaguars will play the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 9.

Whether or not a franchise could eventually be based in London is still on many people’s mind.

“I definitely see the difficulties in it, but I do think it’s just bound to happen,” Raiders defensive lineman Justin Tuck said.

“The NFL is branding and reaching out and it seems like every other sport is doing the same as well. So I do agree with you in the fact that it’s kind of more when it will happen, but there are a lot of questions and a lot of things that have be solidified before it does.”

Cote has expanded his training regimen in recent years. After dropping to 170 pounds to beat Bobby Voelker at UFC 158, he went back to school to learn more about nutrition.

“I thought I knew something nutrition but I didn’t know anything. Seriously.”

For this fight, he spent two weeks in Thailand — his second training stint there. He also added swimming and sprinting to his routine. His body looks the better for it.

“It looks like my body reacted differently this time,” he said. “We’ve been working with my nutritionist on a new meal plan, new things around my training ... It’s a good result at the end.”

A tweet Tuesday from his last training session showed Cote showing off a six-pack.

“I fought most of my career at 185 (pounds) so we weren’t sure if I had one,” joked Cote.

“It’s good, it’s really there.”

After 10 years and 15 fights in the UFC, Montreal welterweight Patrick (The Predator) Cote says he fights for fun these days.

And why not. The 34-yearold Cote has pretty much seen it all.

In his UFC debut in 2004, he was moved from the undercard to the main event at the last minute — not to mention elevated a weight class — when former light-heavyweight champion Tito Otiz needed an opponent at UFC 50 (Cote lost but acquitted himself well).

He made the final of Season 4 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” fought Anderson Silva for the middleweight title, endured both losing and winning streaks, suffered through knee surgeries, was cut by UFC and fought in three weight classes.

So heading into his third fight at 170 pounds, it’s perPhoto by THE CANADIAN PRESS haps no surprise that Cote Patrick (The Predator) Cote (left) trades blows with Bobby Voelker, from the United States, during feels no pressure in meeting Stephen (Wonderboy) Thomptheir UFC 158 welterweight fight in Montreal, March 16, 2013.

“I feel so good right now because I have what was missing in my team before,” Cote said in an interview. “I have a good nutritionist, I have a sports psychologist, I feel like I have no weakness around me any more. I feel like my team is complete now and I have no worries about anything.

FALLING FOR LEAVES

PER CAPITA JUDGE TOTALS LOW; CASES BEFORE COURTS HIGH

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF

Taking advantage of a warm autumn day, an elementary class from Gateway Christian School in Red Deer piles up the leaves that have fallen from the poplar trees that line the west side of the school’s property. Gateway Christian, part of the Red Deer Public School District, is now operating a kindergarten to Grade 12 school in the former Red Deer County School Division River Glen School on 59th Street at 43rd Avenue.

Madcap rural chase results in man being sent to jail

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF The man who led Mounties on a wild countryside chase in a stolen tractor has been sentenced to two years custody.

Jesse Cecka, 26, of Red Deer entered a guilty plea on Tuesday after being arrested on April 2.

On Thursday, he was given 219 days credit for pre-trial custody by Red Deer provincial court Judge Bart Rosborough.

The oilfield worker will have about 16 months more to serve. And he will have to pay about $35,000 in restitution to the insurance company to cover damage done to the tractor he stole and rolled.

Defence counsel George Lebessis, of Edmonton, sought a one-year sentence while Crown prosecutor Maurice Collard asked for

two years.

Rosborough said he did not believe Cecka was truly remorseful and cited more than 30 prior convictions for similar offences as he passed sentence, agreeing with the Crown’s recommendations.

Cecka pleaded guilty to a crime that was part comedy of errors and part stubborn determination. He broke into a rural residence near Hwys 595 and 816. He stole jewelry and then went to an outbuilding where he found a snowmobile and a locked gun case. He took seven firearms, loading them onto the snowmobile.

He took off but got the snowmobile stuck in the deep April snow. Undeterred, he stashed the guns in a hay bale and went to another residence, broke into an outbuilding and stole a quad.

Please see MADCAP on Page C2

A home invasion trial that took 27 months to happen was derailed after Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Monica Bast agreed with a defence application to stay proceedings.

The reason: it had taken too long to get to trial, violating the accused’s right to a trial within a reasonable time.

Lawyers involved pointed to the lack of Court of Queen’s Bench justices as the reason for why the trial had taken so long to occur.

When compared to other Western Canadian provinces, the difference in per capita number of justices is significant.

When dividing the provincial population based on the Statistics Canada 2013 census by the number of full-time judges sitting, based on government of Canada numbers, Saskatchewan has the best per capita with one judge for every 34,634 people. In Alberta, there is one judge for every 64,920 people.

Alberta, with a population of 4,025,100 according to the 2013 Statistics Canada census, has three vacant justice positions and 62 justices sitting, plus 18 who are supernumerary or part time.

British Columbia, with a population of 4,582,000, has 89 B.C. Supreme Court justices, the equivalent to Alberta’s Court of Queen’s Bench, with no vacancies and 20 justices who are supernumerary. That province averages one justice for every 51,483 people.

The Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench website lists three justices based in each of Red Deer and Lethbridge, as well as 37 based in Calgary and 35 based in Edmonton.

However, many of these justices serve outside of their base as there are Courts of Queen’s Bench in Drumheller, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, High Level, Hinton, Medicine Hat, Peace River, St. Paul and Wetaskiwin.

Red Deer also relies on justices from Edmonton or Calgary to assist with cases. Most recently, Edmonton-based Justice Paul Belzil presided over a sexual assault trial in Red Deer that began on Sept. 22.

The Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench has a wide jurisdiction, stretching from the B.C. border past Nordegg in the west to the eastern border near Consort and from Lacombe in the north to Innisfail in the south. It also includes files from Sylvan Lake, Rocky Mountain House, Stettler, Rimbey and numerous other municipalities.

In Saskatchewan, there is only one vacancy with 32 justices currently sitting and nine supernumerary.

Manitoba has 21 trial Court of Queen’s Bench justices and 13 family Court of Queen’s Bench justices. While Manitoba separates the Queen’s Bench justices into different courts, Alberta and Saskatchewan justices serve both roles.

According to Statistics Canada, in 2013 in Alberta 81,067 adults facing charges, both criminal and traffic. That means for 1,307 people facing charges, there was one judge.

In B.C., with 64,603 adults charged, there is one judge for every 719 accused.

It should be noted that most people who are charged do not face a Court of Queen’s Bench justice as many charges are dealt with in other ways, including provincial court, the case management office, alternative measures and mental health diversion.

According to Alberta Justice, the province would need 12 more justices to have as many per capita as B.C. In a release last week, Justice Canada said as part of Economic Action Plan 2014 the federal government committed to the creation of two more federally appointed justice positions in Alberta. A second release said these appointments will be made “in due course.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate. com

Red Deer city council was quick to bend the ears of new provincial cabinet members on transportation, health care, policing and other issues at the Alberta Municipalities Association convention this week in Edmonton.

Mayor Tara Veer said the premier’s keynote address, which touched on municipalities working as partners with the provincial government and simplifying the grant applications, indicated a strong shift of government.

Veer met with the premier following his address on Thursday to discuss Red Deer’s role as the third largest city in the province.

“My message was that building Red Deer is the equivalent of building Alberta because of our population base,” said Veer. “Many of our objectives are the same.”

Veer said it is essential that Red Deer identifies the needs, challenges and opportunities for the provincial government to ensure that Central Alberta is a priority for the government agenda with a new premier and cabinet.

Members of council also met with Municipal Affairs Minister Diana McQueen Transportation Minister Wayne Drysdale, Infrastructure Minister Manmeet S. Bhullar and Health Minister Stephen Mandel during the three-day conference.

Among the issues, council emphasized the importance of retaining the existing south Hwy 2 access into Red Deer and protecting Maskepetoon Park while the province revisits realignment of the Hwy 2,

west of Red Deer.

On the health front, Veer said they discussed concerns about hospital wait times, inter-facility transfers pulling capacity out of the advanced life support emergency vehicles and personnel, continued expansion of dialysis in the city, and the need for a long-term plan for the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre site.

Veer said they also asked Bhullar to be at the table for the future planning of provincial public assets in Red Deer such as the Red Deer Nursing Home site, Valley Park Manor and the Michener Centre north site.

A meeting with McQueen addressed several priorities for the city, including municipal funding, review of the Municipal Government Act, flood mitigation and emergency planning and housing strategy.

Council also met with RCMP K Division Assistant Commissioner Marianne Ryan to discuss RCMP dispatch and resourcing.

Red Deer will formally bring its resolution on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to the AUMA resolution session today.

The Red Deer TFW resolution asks members for support in urging the province to work with the federal government to develop strategies that address the program in relation to Alberta’s unique labour market needs, as well as to explore how to protect temporary foreign workers from exploitation, abuse and neglect.

The three-day annual AUMA conference wraps up today. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

FALL WALKERS

LOCAL

BRIEFS Arson at Catholic schools investigated by RCMP Red Deer RCMP are investigating incidents of arson at two schools in Lancaster early Monday morning.

At about 4 a.m., a shed near the construction shop area at Notre Dame High School was engulfed in flames.

There was no damage to the school, located at 50 Lees St. A dumpster was lit on fire on the east side of St. Francis of Assisi Middle School, at 321 Lindsay Ave., at 6 a.m. The fire was contained to the dumpster.

Police are taking the crimes very seriously. Fire can easily spread with the potential for loss of human life and livelihood, and significant social and financial costs.

Anyone with information that may assist police in identifying the suspects responsible for these crimes is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403343-5575. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

Charges against a man arrested with 11 others in a massive drug bust in 2012 have been stayed after there were problems with an exhibit entered into evidence.

Chol Achuil Chol, 27, of Red Deer was charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

However, the charge was stayed on Thursday in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench by Crown prosecutor Dave Inglis.

Two Crown witnesses were brought to testify before Justice John Little.

Both are undercover police officers and cannot be named to protect their identity.

The first officer testified to buying one gram of crack cocaine from Chol in the parking lot of the Village Mall Canadian Tire in June 2012.

The second officer testified he

took the drugs from the first officer, weighed them and catalogued them as evidence in the investigation.

The Crown then asked the second officer to produce the drugs, which were then entered into evidence.

Defence counsel Andrew Phypers noticed some discrepancies between the drug sample entered into evidence.

The drugs were originally put into a bag marked with the number five, to represent the fifth drug purchase police investigators had made that day.

A photograph of the drugs was taken.

However, when entered into evidence the exhibit did not match the drugs in the photo.

After a break, Inglis stayed the charges. The stay means the prosecution is not proceeding but the Crown revive the case within the next year.

Chol still faces a trial in January 2015 over his alleged involvement in a riot at the Red Deer Remand Centre.

He pleaded not guilty on July 30 and will be tried in Red Deer provincial court.

Jackson had to get his tractor fixed and received a $35,000 payout from his insurance company, which Cecka will have to repay.

Steve Henry was making dinner that evening with his wife when they saw the tractor come into their yard, driving through their fence. Henry got on his snowmobile and started to go after Cecka. That’s when RCMP Const.

Adrian Dean flagged Henry down and asked for a lift. The two pursued Cecka.

Another officer caught up to Cecka and tried to get him to stop. The tractor had stalled and the officer hopped up the side and smashed the window

of the tractor with his baton, demanding Cecka stop.

Cecka did not.

The officer launched his Taser into the cab, but because Cecka was wearing an oilskin coat underneath his jacket, the barbed dart of the Taser had no effect. Fearing injury, the officer got off the tractor’s wheel, un-

holstered his sidearm and pointed at Cecka, who looked at him again and drove off.

It wasn’t until Cecka got to the top of a hill that the tractor stalled and, with the bucket of the tractor extended at its fullest height, it rolled onto its side.

Cecka was arrested. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Chrysler dealership coming next spring

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR

INNISFAIL

You can buy a new Ford or Chevrolet in Innisfail, but if you want a Chrysler product you have to drive elsewhere — at least until next spring.

That’s when Crawford Motors is expected to open on the north end of town, just west of Hwy 2.

Work on the Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram dealership’s 26,000-square-foot building is well underway, with the design to include a showroom and 13 service bays — among them drive-through service bays and a quick-lube bay.

Mark Crawford, who lives just outside Innisfail,

will be dealer principal.

“I do have a soft spot in my heart for Chrysler,” said Crawford, a longtime entrepreneur who has been active in several industries.

“There hasn’t been a Chrysler dealer in Innisfail since 1990. It’s something that we’ve been missing for a long time.”

Crawford expects residents of the town and surrounding area to welcome another addition to the local new vehicle sector, which currently consists of Fourlane Ford and Palliser Chevrolet.

“I think even the other dealers don’t mind a little competition, because it drives more people into the area.”

Crawford said it took him about a year to secure the Chrysler dealership. Although it’ll be the first time he’s operated in the auto industry, he’ll have seasoned support from a minor partner in the business: Cam Clark.

Clark owns several Ford dealerships, including at Red Deer, Olds, Airdrie and North Vancouver.

Crawford hopes to have Crawford Motors up and running by the end of March. He anticipates employing a staff of about 50. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Co-op building new fertilizer storage facility CENTRAL ALBERTA CO-OP

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR If you’ve had a tough time finding cement recently, the blame might rest with Central Alberta Co-op.

The member-owned retail association has begun work on a fertilizer storage facility east of Innisfail, with concrete a key ingredient in the base and walls of the 37,000-square-foot building.

“It was a massive pour,” said Co-op operations manager Mike Clement, who estimates that 1,500 truckloads of cement have gone into the project.

By the time construction wraps up next spring, Central Alberta Co-op will have space for 15,000 tonnes of granular fertilizer. Each of the building’s seven compartments will be connected to the Co-op’s blending plant via underground conveyors.

The system will be a marked improvement over the present set-up, which consists of about 120 storage bins and requires that fertilizer be hauled to the blending plant.

“We’ll almost double our storage capacity,” said Clement.

Not only will that help ensure that the Co-op can maintain adequate fertilizer supplies for customers, it should enable it to buy in larger quantities and at lower prices, he said.

With an anticipated cost of between $4 million and $4.5 million, the new storage facility will measure 17.4 metres (57 feet) in height at its peak. The first 1.8 metres (six feet) will be concrete, with wood above.

The Co-op is also finishing a 1,350-square-foot addition to a nearby administration building, which will add seven offices, as well as a meeting room and staff room.

“It’ll double our office space,” said Clement, acknowledging that the additional area is badly needed. “We were busting at the seams.”

Cost of the administration building expansion is approximately $400,000.

In addition to its bulk fertilizer facility east of Innisfail, Central Alberta Co-op has a home and agro centre, a grocery store, a gas bar and a bulk fuel card lock station in town. It also has retail operations in Red Deer, Lacombe, Blackfalds, Spruce View, Stettler, Crossfield, Elnora and Castor. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Work is underway to increase capacity at the Central Alberta Co-op fertilizer storage facility east of Innisfail.

BRIEF

glitch may soothe ill feelings

Visa obstacle looms as Harper heralds end of Canada-EU free trade talks OTTAWA — There is lingering concern that two unhappy eastern European countries could derail Canada’s free trade deal with the European Union.

Canada still requires a visa for travellers from Romania and Bulgaria, and some European diplomats tell The Canadian Press they’re worried those countries could block ratification of the comprehensive pact.

Harper is to host European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy for a Canada-EU summit Friday in Ottawa.

The event is being widely touted as a victory lap after protracted five years of negotiation of the wide ranging trade and investment agreement known as CETA. A western diplomat close to the talks says the Romanian and Bulgarian visas continue to be an irritant in both countries.

Canada imposed the visa on the two countries as well as the Czech Republic to stop an influx of bogus refugee claimants, but lifted the Czech visa last year.

U.S. oil industry offers crude train testing standards after accidents highlight risks BILLINGS, Mon. — The oil industry’s leading trade group has adopted new standards for testing and classifying crude shipped by rail after prior shipments were misclassified, including a train that derailed in Canada and killed 47 people.

As with earlier orders from the federal government, the standards unveiled Thursday left it to companies to decide how often to test crude in order to gauge its danger.

The American Petroleum Institute says the standards were crafted in co-operation with regulators and the rail industry.

Shipping oil by rail has become far more common as domestic drilling booms in North Dakota, Montana, Texas, Colorado and other states.

In July 2013, a crude train from North Dakota crude derailed and exploded in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, killing 47. Regulators said the shipment had been misclassified as posing a low risk.

IOS 8

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Apple’s response to a highprofile gaffe involving its iPhone software may be more important than the glitch itself.

As the giant tech company scrambled to fix a software glitch that left some of its new iPhones unable to make calls, some analysts said Thursday that Apple is doing the right thing by quickly acknowledging and apologizing for the problem — which it was slower to do with earlier iPhone problems.

“There’s a certain perception that Apple has to get things right, and when they don’t, the whole company gets questioned,” said Carolina Milanesi, chief of research at Kantar Worldpanel. “But they came out and said ’We apologize; we’re working 24/7 to fix it.’ I think that’s what matters.”

Apple’s stock fell nearly 4 per cent Thursday, leading a broader decline in technology shares, a day after the company was forced to withdraw an update to its new iOS 8 mobile software because of glitches that primarily affected customers who had purchased its new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models.

The 6 Plus phone has also been the subject of social media reports that its extra-large shell is vulnerable to bending.

In a statement Thursday, Apple defended its manufacturing standards and said bending “is extremely rare” with normal use of an iPhone. The company said just nine customers had contacted Apple to report a bent iPhone 6 Plus since they went on sale Friday.

Apple late Wednesday offered users a way to manually reverse the flawed software update, known as iOS 8.0.1. In a statement, the company added, “We apologize for the great inconvenience experienced by users, and are working around the clock to prepare iOS 8.0.2 with a fix for the issue.”

Cupertino-based Apple has said it sold a record 10 million of the new iPhone models over the weekend, in what the company has called one of the biggest product launches in its history. It also reported this week that nearly half of all iPhone and iPad users had upgraded to the new software known as iOS 8.

That new software contains a number of new features and is more complex than earlier versions of iOS, analysts said. Apple released the 8.0.1 update

on Wednesday to fix some flaws that were detected after iOS 8 was released — only to find the 8.0.1 update created problems of its own.

The new problems included interference with calling and with a feature that lets people unlock their phones with their fingerprint.

That’s not uncommon, according to veteran tech analyst Ross Rubin of Reticle Research.

“All major companies have released fixes that they’ve had to pull because of unforeseen side-effects,” he added.

As for the bending issue, Rubin said the iPhone 6 Plus is “a large, thin device. That’s not to say customers should treat it gingerly, but it’s still an electronic product and it’s an investment, and it should be treated as such.”

Apple is held to a higher standard by many consumers, analysts said. But Milanesi said she thought the company suffered more harm a few years ago, when it was slow to acknowledge complaints about poor reception and dropped calls that affected new iPhone 4 models when they were released in 2010.

The company eventually offered a fix for the problem, after then-CEO Steve Jobs initially suggested users just needed to hold the phone differently.

“There wasn’t any of that this time,” Milanesi said.

She noted that Jobs’ successor, CEO Tim Cook, had also taken responsibility and apologized for initial problems with Apple’s Maps software when it was first released.

Meanwhile, one analyst said Thursday’s stock selloff was more likely related to broader market concerns than investor unease about the new iPhones.

“Earnings is what drives the stock the most,” said Walter Piecyk of BTIG Research.

“It’s too early to say what the impact’s going to be, but it does not appear to be something that would impact the company’s ability to deliver on earnings” in the next two quarters.

Apple said users affected by the software glitch can connect their phone to a Mac or Windows computer and download a file to restore an earlier version of the iOS 8 software.

Apple offered a Web page with instructions: http:// support.apple.com/kb/HT6487 .

The company’s stock ended Thursday down $3.88 at $97.87. Earlier this month, it hit an all-time high of $103.74.

The Toronto market lost 226.97 points to 14,893.57, led by declines in energy and financial stocks.

The big drop is the fifth straight decline for the Canadian market and takes the TSX below 15,000 for the first time since late June. However, the S&P/TSX composite is still up nearly nine per cent so far this year.

“Investors in Canada, over the near term have, become complacent because the Canadian market has outperformed,” said Brian Belski, chief investment strategist for BMO Capital markets.

“The issue when stocks go up is that you’re believing it more, and now all of a sudden Canadian stocks are receiving a dose of reality.”

The Canadian dollar fell 0.41 of a cent to 90.03 cents US, pressured by lacklustre commodity prices. The November crude oil contract dipped 27 cents to US$92.53 a barrel, while December gold bullion added $2.40 to US$1,221.90 an ounce and December copper fell two cents to US$3.03 a pound.

The sell-off was even worse on Wall Street, with indexes ending the day with the steepest drop in two months.

The Dow Jones industrials fell 264.26 points to 16,945.80, while the Nasdaq plunged 88.47 points to 4,466.75 and the S&P 500 index lost 32.31 points to 1,965.99.

Belski said some of the downward pressure could be attributed to profit-taking, but mostly, the markets are just pulling back from the recent highs.

“We really feel that the momentum trade, especially in the energy and materials space, has really skewed prices to the upside so far this year,” Belski said.

“Now the resulting momentum shift is turning the other way.”

Financial stocks were among the biggest decliners on the Toronto exchange, down 2.18 per cent. Out of the country’s five biggest banks, CIBC suffered the biggest loss, as its shares took back 3.27 per cent, or $3.43, to

The moves lower came amid signs the U.S. economic recovery remains precarious.

The U.S. Labor Department said weekly unemployment benefit applications rose 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 293,000, while business orders for longlasting manufactured goods fell by a record 18.2 per cent in August, dragged lower by a plunge in demand for commercial aircraft.

Shares in Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) sank nearly four per cent, or $3.88 to US$97.87, a day after the tech company pulled the latest software update for its iPhone software after customers complained about dropped calls. Rival Blackberry (TSX:BB) also saw its stock fall more than six per cent, or 73 cents, to $10.88.

The Waterloo, Ont., company unveiled its latest smartphone, the Passport, on Wednesday and is scheduled to release earnings on Friday.

Meanwhile, shares in Valeant Pharmaceuticals (TSX:VRX) were up more than three per cent or $4.37 at $141.66 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Canadian drugmaker said Thursday that Jeffrey Ubben, founder, chief executive and chief investment officer of health care investment manager ValueAct Capital, would join the company’s board on Oct. 1.

ValueAct president Mason Morfit had sat on the board until earlier this year when he stepped down citing other commitments.

Valeant has been actively pursuing a takeover bid for Botox-maker Allergan maker.

The Irvine, Calif., based company has already rejected several acquisition bids from Valeant, the latest offer amounting to about US$53 billion.

Retailer Sears Canada (TSX:SCC) says its chief executive, Douglas Campbell, intends to resign and return to the United States by the end of this year to tend to personal family issues.

Campbell had headed the struggling company for about a year after its last CEO, Calvin McDonald, announced he was leaving the company in the midst of a three-year turnaround plan.

Shares in the company were up 10 cents at $12.75.

“The theme driving the U.S. dollar continues to be a strengthening U.S. economy relative to other economies,” Rahim Madhavji of Knightsbridge Foreign Exchange said in a note.

“However, with Canada’s economy closely tied to the U.S. economy, over time Canada should eventually benefit from a strengthening U.S. economy.”

“What people can expect is a wide and volatile range for the loonie,” said Brian Belski, chief investment strategist with BMO Capital Markets, said investors should expect a “wide and volatile” range for the loonie.

B.C. premier downplays Petronas threat to pull out of LNG project

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — B.C. Premier Christy Clark says a threat by Petronas to quit a proposed liquefied natural gas project is just part of negotiations over the province’s tax take, but experts say the Malaysian firm’s message should be cause for worry.

The Financial Times quotes Petronas chief executive Shamsul Abbas as saying he’s ready to call off the $10-billion project to be built near Prince Rupert, B.C., amid a delayed regulatory approval process, plans by the provincial government to impose an LNG tax and a “lack of appropriate incentives.”

“Rather than ensuring the development of the LNG industry through appropriate incentives and assurance of legal and fiscal stability, the Canadian landscape of LNG development is now one of uncertainty, delay and short vision,” Abbas told the newspaper.

Clark told reporters in Vancouver on Thursday she’s optimistic a deal will be worked out and that British Columbians will one day benefit from LNG investment.

“What Petronas is doing is standing up to try and get the absolute best deal that they can get for their shareholders. That’s what they should do. What we’re doing at the negotiating table is trying to get the absolute best deal for British Columbians and for Canadians.

And that’s the process,” she said.

“And so I’m still very, very hopeful that we’ll get there and a lot of the discussion that you’ve seen publicly is part of what you’ll always see in the course of any kind of difficult negotiation. But I know they see the assets in British Columbia as incredibly valuable and a really important part of the company’s future.”

But B.C. shouldn’t assume that Abbas’s comments are just about posturing, said Barry Munro, who leads glob-

al consulting firm EY’s Canadian oil and gas practice.

“There would be some people speculating that this is a negotiation tactic or that there’s just a push and pull of companies trying to get to the best economic terms. You could make light of the commentary or the challenge that’s been put forth,” he said.

“I just think from a B.C. perspective, that would be a dangerous assumption to make. It may well be the right one.

It’s just a dangerous one.”

There are a litany of challenges facing LNG players: pricing pressure, cost escalation and global competition among them, said Munro. So all of the right conditions must be in place for a company like Petronas to be convinced it’s worthwhile to shell out billions of dollars on a project.

“I think people should heed the intended message very carefully to make sure that if they’re serious about advancing the LNG business, they do whatever they can to try to address the concerns,” he said.

Cameron Gingrich, director of gas services at consultancy Ziff Energy, said B.C. has to strike the right balance, lest it scare off LNG investment.

“These guys are looking at making a profitable run at it and if the B.C. government is looking to get royalties, a carbon tax and then on top of that an income tax on LNG facilities, it certainly make the economics of building a (multi) billion-dollar facility a hard pill to swallow,” he said.

The government’s take is a “major consideration” for any global LNG project, added James McLean, a partner in PricewaterhouseCoopers’ consulting and deals practice in Calgary.

“Particularly when these large global organizations have got options as to where they place their investment dollars, the fiscal regime and the taxation regime and making sure it’s clear up front is definitely critical.”

Scientists urge Quebec to keep northern-development plan’s conservation pledge

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — More than 500 scientists from Canada and around the world are urging Quebec’s premier to stick to his pledge to preserve a huge section of the province’s north as part of an ambitious development plan.

Philippe Couillard has been promising to breathe new life into the Liberals’ multibillion-dollar northern development project since the party regained power earlier this year.

For years, the Liberals have touted the “Plan Nord” — or “Northern Plan” — as a way to create thousands of jobs through energy development, mining and tourism in Quebec’s north, on an area about twice the size of France.

But the proposal, first unveiled in 2011, caught the attention of the international scientific community for its other key goal: to protect half of that boreal wilderness from industrial development. On Friday, a group of international scientists will send a letter to Couillard, encouraging him to move forward on a sustainable-development and conservation project they believe could “serve as a model for the rest of the world.”

The scientists are also calling on Couillard to ensure aboriginal and local communities in the remote region

are partners in the project.

“We feel certain that, in taking this action, Quebec will emerge as a world leader in sustainable development, biodiversity conservation and combating climate change, while growing its economy and creating a new ecosystem management model for the 21st century that will set the standard for countries around the world,” reads the letter, obtained by The Canadian Press.

Couillard is scheduled to announce the main points of the renewed Plan Nord during a business conference next Tuesday in Montreal.

The project was introduced in 2011 by then-Liberal premier Jean Charest, who had hoped it would become a centrepiece of his political legacy.

At the time, government estimates boasted Plan Nord would generate $80 billion in public and private investment over a quarter-century while creating 20,000 jobs over the same period.

Liberals promoted it as a project that would eventually pump $14 billion into provincial coffers, cash they said would help Quebec shed its status as a have-not province.

They said it would make Quebec a contributor to equalization. The project, however, was met with skepticism from opponents who called it everything from a marketing gimmick to a sellout of Quebec’s resources.

NASA’s Maven spacecraft enters Mars orbit In this artist concept provided by NASA, the Maven spacecraft approaches Mars on a mission to study its upper atmosphere. Late Sunday night, NASA’s Maven spacecraft entered orbit around Mars for an unprecedented study of the red planet’s atmosphere following a 711-million-km journey that began nearly a year ago.

SCIENTISTS HOPING SECOND SPACECRAFT WILL JOIN IT SOON

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — With NASA’s Maven spacecraft safely in orbit around Mars, the spotlight shifts to India’s first mission to the red planet.

The Indian spacecraft is due to slip into Martian orbit Tuesday night (Wednesday morning in India). It’s India’s first interplanetary mission, and no nation has been fully successful getting to the red planet on its first try. There have been more than three dozen attempts, and more than half of them have failed.

So U.S. scientists were relieved when Maven reached its destination after a 442 million mile (711 million km) journey that began nearly a year ago. It joined three spacecraft, two American and one European, orbiting Mars.

“I think my heart’s about ready to start again,” Maven’s chief investigator, Bruce Jakosky of the University of Colorado, said early Monday. “All I can say at this point is, ’We’re in orbit at Mars, guys!”’

Now the real work begins for the $671 million mission, the first dedicated to studying the Martian upper atmosphere and the latest step in NASA’s bid to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s.

Flight controllers in Colorado will spend the next six weeks adjusting Maven’s altitude and checking its science instruments, and observing a comet streaking by at relatively close range.

Then in early November, Maven will start probing the upper at-

mosphere of Mars. The spacecraft will conduct its observations from orbit; it’s not meant to land.

Scientists believe the Martian atmosphere holds clues as to how Earth’s neighbour went from being warm and wet billions of years ago to cold and dry. That early wet world may have harboured microbial life, a tantalizing question yet to be answered.

Jakosky, of University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, hopes to learn where all the water on Mars went, along with the carbon dioxide that once comprised an atmosphere thick enough to hold moist clouds.

The gases may have been stripped away by the sun early in Mars’ existence, escaping into the upper atmosphere and out into space. Maven’s observations should be able to extrapolate back in time, he said.

NASA launched Maven last November from Cape Canaveral, the 10th U.S. mission sent to orbit the red planet. Three earlier ones failed. Maven — short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission — will spend at least a year collecting data.

India’s Mangalyaan probe was also launched that month, and Jakosky said Monday its arrival at Mars was eagerly awaited. India would become the fourth space program to reach Mars after the Soviet Union, the U.S. and Europe.

“We’re hoping for their success,” he said. “We’re sending them the best wishes from the entire Maven team.”

Indian officials have said the

mission is chiefly a demonstration of technology. The spacecraft’s instruments will gather data to help scientists study Martian weather systems and what happened to the ancient water. It will also look for methane, a key chemical in life processes on Earth that could also come from geological processes.

Maven, meanwhile, will have a rare brush with a comet next month.

The nucleus of newly discovered Comet Siding Spring will pass 82,000 miles (131,966 km) from Mars on Oct. 19. The risk of comet dust damaging Maven is low, officials said, and the spacecraft should be able to observe Siding Spring as a science bonus.

Lockheed Martin Corp., Maven’s maker, is operating the mission from its control centre in Colorado.

Two NASA rovers are on the Mars surface. Just this month, Curiosity rover arrived at its prime science target, a mountain named Sharp, ripe for drilling. The Opportunity rover is also still active a decade after landing.

More landers will be on the way in 2016 and 2018 from NASA and the European and Russian space agencies.

The next U.S. rover is scheduled for launch in 2020; it will collect samples for possible return to Earth, and attempt to produce oxygen from atmospheric carbon dioxide. That latter experiment, if successful, would allow future human explorers to live off the land, according to NASA’s John Grunsfeld, head of science missions and a former astronaut.

In the fall, Duck threw a very noisy party. Pig didn’t go, but when the music got very loud, he hollered, “BE QUIET.” The party stopped, the friends left, and on the door the sign said GONE AWAY. Things were quiet and peaceful again ... and boring. Winter is long, will Duck return?

This is a jolly story about friendship and change with bright, amusing pictures.

With pets of all kinds (maybe not a grizzly bear) a bathtub as big as a lake and full of suds, or a lake full of frogs, the fun would never stop.

School would, of course, be your choice, like Circus School or Inventing School or (everyone’s favourite) Recess School.

There would be trampoline sidewalks and ponies instead of cars and dinosaurs in the park.

Best of all, NO ONE (young or old) WOULD EVER FORGET HOW TO PLAY! With illustrations by David Huyck, this happy book is full of happy children with big smiles, having a blast.

Here’s a wish that the pleasure of the bedtime story from a bright, happy picture book, read on someone’s lap, never goes out of style.

All in all, this is an average novel in the setting of Second World War. It does have some very touching scenes that can either lift one’s heart or break it.

The beautiful poems and songs that are incorporated help the reader continue on despite the harsh realities of life at Ravensbruck. It shows readers how art (by any form) can be a life saver.

For teens and those who have never read such stories or memoirs, I would recommend this novel.

But the novel offers very little depth. I can only assume that I felt that way because other pieces I have read showed much more clearly the extreme horror, heart loss and tragedy of such situations.

THE POWER OF WOMEN FEMALE-FRONTED ROCK BANDS BREAKING DOWN THE OLD BOYS’ CLUB

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Women rock! — especially women like Carol-Lynne Quinn and Felicia Harding.

Quinn, who fronts award-winning Edmonton alt-rock band Rend, and Harding, lead singer of Victoria-based synth-rock band Isobel Trigger, are riding a welcome wave.

They are among a growing number of women who are lending their powerful voices — as well as considerable musician and songwriting talents — to bands that play loud, aggressive and smart music, along the lines of Metric, Florence and the Machine, and Paramore.

It never used to be that way. There was a time, not long ago, when you’d have to think back to Heart and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders to come up with examples of really successful female-fronted groups.

Harding remembers attending a Virgin Music Festival in Vancouver five years ago and being “shocked” that only a handful of women musicians were taking part in the whole festival.

“I remember thinking, I want to do that!

I want to be part of it. I need to represent the power of women,” she said.

Harding now thinks it’s “awesome” that so many more women are rocking out on stages across North America.

Rend and Isobel Trigger will perform on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at a double-bill concert at Red Deer’s The Vat. Both groups have singles on the radio and music videos that are getting Internet attention. But one fan commented online “Why aren’t we hearing more women’s voices in rock?”

Harding believes the reasons have been multitude. Family orientation, social conditioning towards “softer” music, and gender discrimination have all factored, to some degree, against women aiming to be touring rockers.

“It has been harder to gain respect, for sure. For a long time, this has been a male-dominated thing,” said Harding, who listened to Cyndi Lauper, as well as The Rolling Stones and Billy Idol, while growing up in Victoria.

Quinn agreed, saying “It’s definitely been a boys’ club, and you have to work harder to gain respect.” She also believes the music industry allowed fewer women into a front-line roles with bands, saying “it’s been a smaller niche to fill.”

But one of the biggest obstacles faced by female-fronted bands has been finding male as well as female listeners. Historically, men have preferred male-centred bands, observed Harding.

But she believes a lot of guys have lately come around, since so many great women singers are now leading rock groups — such as Florence and the Machine, as a popular example.

Performing was probably in Harding’s genes, since two of her grandparents were opera singers and her father was a musician in a cover band.

Her group evolved, largely through membership changes, to a harder-edged rock band from the acoustic group it started as a few years ago.

Isobel T r i g ger, also made up of lead guitarist Brett Faulkner, bassist Kyle Lowther and drummer Ariel Tseng, is getting critical nods for the Dust and Bones single off the new EP Nocturnal Nocturnal,, which was inspired by night life.

Quinn’s band, Rend, is also reaping plenty of attention — and a $50,000 recording grant as the 2014 Rawlco Radio Breakout Artist of the Year — since starting four years ago. Most of the grant money is already slated towards recording a new full-length album next year.

Rend is also among the select Alberta bands chosen to perform at an Indie Week Canada showcase for the music industry in Toronto next month.

Quinn, a trained jazz singer, believes the group stands apart because of its strong female voice. “Our music is very vocal-driven. We work very hard and invest time and everything we have into this. ... And we’re pretty strong live.”

Carol-Lynne Quinn from the Edmonton rock band Rend is part of a growing number of women lending their voices to rock bands.

Scars is the latest single from Rend’s Winter to Summer EP, which has received Canada-wide radio play.

The band that also features drummer Jordan Dempter, guitarist Steve Rose and bassist Jeff Quinn (the singer’s husband), has performed in the same lineup as Mother Mother, City and Colour, Weezer, Dear Rouge and Faber Drive, Victoria Duffield and Zerbin.

Quinn lists Led Zeppelin and R&B among her influences, and believes her band is living up to its name: “Rend means to tear apart, to never be the same again. ... We don’t want people to listen to our music and not be affected by it. We want to create different emotional experiences.”

CAT is back with Rounding Third

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Dolphin dads, tiger moms, helicopter parents. ...

What’s the right way to raise children, anyway?

That question is too loaded to be definitively answered in Central Alberta Theatre’s season-opening play, Rounding Third, by Richard Dresser.

But some light will certainly be shed on the subject of parenting when this baseball-as-a-metaphorfor-life comedy opens on Thursday, Oct. 2, at the Nickle Studio, upstairs at Red Deer’s Memorial Centre.

Rounding Third is about two Little League baseball coaches with polar-opposite philosophies about how to deal with children.

The head coach, Don, is a no-nonsense blue-collar worker, who believes his young players need to be taught to get ahead in life.

“He believes winning is everything and he’s not above bending the rules to achieve that,” said Bob Grieg, who is co-directing this comedy with his wife Geanette.

The assistant coach, Michael, on the other hand, is a company executive who wants to help coach the team as a way of bonding with his son, who’s one of the players.

Michael is more into allowing the kids to have fun and learn from positive experiences. “Winning is secondary to him” said Grieg.

But this soft, permissive approach drives Don crazy — especially when Michael starts telling a littleleaguer that it’s OK for boys to cry.

Is it possible for these two odd-couple coaches to find some kind of middle ground?

Grieg won’t divulge what happens, saying people will have to see the play to find out. But it’s safe to assume both men will go through transformative experiences that make them reconsider some of their original attitudes towards their young players, he said.

“It is possible to start appreciating another person’s point of view if you start walking in their shoes — even though at first it seems hopeless.”

Grieg believes the U.S. comedy is timely, with various parenting styles hitting the headlines recently.

A debate continues between proponents of authoritative parenting, as in the tiger mom, all-worklittle-play method, and the more permissive dolphin dad, parent-as-playmate approach.

Experts also question whether today’s helicopter parents, who helpfully hover over their children from birth into young adulthood, are ultimately hindering them from taking responsibility for their own lives.

Perry Mill, left, and Craig Scott rehearse a scene from Rounding Third, the first play of the Central Alberta Theatre season.

Grieg admitted his own parenting philosophy is closer to Michael’s than Don’s. But he and Geanette have worked hard to help the local actors (Craig Scott as Michael and Perry Mill as Don) play both characters dimensionally.

Audience members should understand that Don really wants the best for the young players, said Grieg. “He wants to teach them that the world is hard, (making) money is hard, jobs are hard. ...

“He thinks Michael’s living in a candy-ass world, where everybody goes out for popsicles and everything’s wonderful and fun. But life’s not like that.

Life’s not fair.”

The Griegs say they enjoyed working with the cast and crew on this, their first directing effort for a fulllength play, and are excited to share their comedy with an audience.

“I think a lot of people might see themselves in this,” said Bob Grieg with a chuckle.

Tickets are $32.70 for the 7:30 p.m. shows that run Oct. 2 to 19 (2 p.m. matinees on Oct. 5 and 12) from the Black Knight Inn. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEFS

Guitarist Malcolm Young not returning to AC/DC; will focus on health NEW YORK — Malcolm Young has left AC/DC. A statement Wednesday from the band’s label said: “Unfortunately, due to the nature of Malcolm’s condition, he will not be returning to the band.”

The band announced in April that the 61-year-old guitarist was taking a break to focus on his health.

AC/DC will release the album Rock or Bust on Dec. 2. They will launch a world tour next year.

Stevie Young, nephew of founding members Malcolm and Angus Young, played guitar on the band’s new album and will join them on the tour.

AC/DC includes vocalist Brian Johnson, drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Cliff Williams. Young has performed with AC/DC for 40 years.

Ben Schnetzer, American star of Pride, finds success across the pond

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Ben Schnetzer is used to being the only American in the room.

Born in New York to stage actor parents, Schnetzer’s star is now on the rise in England — landing plum roles in two of this year’s best showcases of British talent.

In Pride opening Friday, he plays a passionate gay activist determined to help striking miners in 1984 Britain. Meanwhile in The Riot Club, recently released in the U.K., he’s a posh member of an elite Oxford society. The affable 24-year-old said he was the only Yankee actor on both sets.

“You become ’Ben the American guy.’ Every time you say ’dude,’ every time you say ’man,’ every time you say something vaguely optimistic, you’ll hear, ’Oh Ben, you’re so bloody American,”’ he said with a laugh. He speaks with a hint of a London accent — a “point of contention” among his American friends, he admitted — which he picked up while studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. After graduating last year, his career quickly took flight with a starring role in The Book Thief.

“I feel really, really lucky,” Schnetzer said during an interview at the recent Toronto International Film Festival. “When I was debating whether I wanted to go to school in the U.K. or not, my mom said, ’I think you might open doors over there that you would otherwise never have a chance to open.’... I’m glad she gave me that nudge, because she was right.”

“Pride,” from director Matthew Warchus, also stars Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Paddy Considine and Dominic West. The film tells the true tale of “pits and perverts,” the unlikely partnership between miners and gay activists during Margaret Thatcher’s divisive rule.

Learning that both groups were so marginalized was a “rude awakening,” said Schnetzer.

“This is not that long ago, so I think it’s a testament to how far we’ve come,” he said. “It’s not something to be taken for granted. Human rights can never be taken for granted and hopefully this film, among many other things, can remind us of that.”

His character, Mark Ashton, is the passionate founder of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM). He’s determined to help striking miners whose families are starving — persevering even when countless villages refuse donations from his group. The real Ashton died of AIDS just a few years later, in 1987.

“It was a really humbling experience to get to play him,” said Schnetzer. “Part of me looks at this film as kind of a tribute to him and to Mark’s courage and his heroism and what he achieved. I hope that it can kind of shine a light and celebrate his life and give him the recognition that, in my opinion, is long overdue.”

English actress Jessica Gunning plays Sian James, a housewife in Wales who became politically active as a result of her experiences during the miner’s strike. Both Gunning and James — who is now a Member of Parliament for Swansea East — traveled to Toronto for the recent film festival.

Gunning recalled the duo “nattering away” for three hours on the phone when she first learned she had won the role. She said she felt a great responsibility to honour the women of the fight.

“They really came into their own. That’s why Sian’s story is so great. This year that the film is about, it changed her life. Not that a mother or a housewife is a bad vocation, but it made her even more amazing than she was before the strike started,” she said.

James said she could remember being offended on LGSM’s behalf because other villages had refused their help. She and many of her fellow villagers didn’t have any problem with homosexuality — but they did have one big concern when LGSM travelled to town.

“It was the fact that we were warned that they might be vegetarians,” she said with a laugh. “We really angsted about that. Now, vegetarianism is mainstream. Back then, it was very strange.”

New Golden Maple Awards to honour Canadians in TV, sports broadcast in U.S. TORONTO — Canadians in Hollywood have a new shot at awards glory.

The Golden Maple Awards will be handed out in Los Angeles next June to Canucks in TV shows broadcast in the U.S. — as well as to athletes.

The new trophies were announced Wednesday by the Academy of Canadians in Sports and Entertainment. The privately funded, non-profit organization launched earlier this year to promote homegrown talent in Tinseltown. Its ambassadors include Kathleen Robertson of TNT’s Murder in the First, and Suzanne Clement, a star of Xavier Dolan’s film Mommy, which was recently selected as Canada’s entry in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the Academy Awards.

The venue and categories for voting are set to be announced in early 2015. Winners will be selected by members of the Academy of Canadians in Sports and Entertainment, which include actors, directors, professional athletes and Olympians.

Pictures show toll of prison on aging bald music legend Phil Spector LOS ANGELES — Two newly released photos of Phil Spector show the toll of age and prison on the once flamboyant music legend.

The most recent photo shows a bald, sombre looking 73-year-old Spector staring straight into the camera on Oct. 28, 2013.

An earlier photo of a smiling Spector is dated July 24, 2013. California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton said Tuesday that the October photo was taken when Spector was moved to the prison system’s huge California Heath Care Facility in Stockton.

Canuck animator leaps to director’s chair with stopmotion film The Boxtrolls THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Ask Canadian illustrator Graham Annable how he landed his first big directing gig in the meticulous world of stop-motion animation and he simply shrugs.

Each step toward his upcoming 3-D feature The Boxtrolls has been an unpredictable sequence of happenstance, he insisted during a visit to Toronto this past spring.

“I think back to when I graduated from (Oakville, Ont.’s) Sheridan (College) — which is over 20 years ago now — and the thought that I would be back in Toronto speaking about a stop-motion animated feature that I codirected would never have entered my mind,” Annable said in an interview after delivering the keynote address at the TIFF Kids Festival Industry Conference in April.

“It is kind of an amazing thing for me to sort of map all the different choices and decisions that got me to where I am right now. I don’t think I could ever repeat that performance.

A lot of folks ask me: ’How do I get to where you’re getting?’ And I honestly couldn’t tell you exactly how it happened.”

Well, Annable did log a lot of hours as an animator at places including Chuck Jones Enterprises and George Lucas’ video game company LucasArts, where he spent 10 years.

The 43-year-old Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.-native went on to hone his love for storyboarding at the Portland, Ore.based Laika Studios, where he put his stamp on the Oscar-nominated stopmotion films Coraline and ParaNorman.

From those two acclaimed features Annable was named head of story on Laika’s third project, The Boxtrolls — a stop-motion and computer-generated hybrid adaptation of Alan Snow’s book series Here Be Monsters!

The Victorian-era period piece unfolds in Cheesebridge, “a town obsessed with wealth, class, and the stinkiest of fine cheeses.”

Beneath its cobblestone streets live the Boxtrolls, an underground community of dumpster-diving oddballs who wear discarded cardboard boxes.

They’ve raised an orphaned human boy, named Eggs, since infancy and when they are targeted by villainous pest exterminator Archibald Snatcher it’s up to Eggs to become their guardian. The voiceover cast includes Elle Fanning, Simon Pegg, Ben Kingsley, Toni Collette and Nick Frost.

Annable said his leap from storyboard artist to director started while working on “ParaNorman.” During a lull in production he was asked to try his hand at storyboarding a sequence from an early script based on Snow’s monster-filled book. He immediately gravitated toward the boxtroll charac-

EVENT COINCIDES WITH 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF RELEASE OF LEE’S DO THE RIGHT THING

ters.

“They were just super-fun, these crazy characters that lived in boxes and didn’t speak in any discernable language,” he said. “For a storyboard artist, at least for me, it was really exciting because everything had to get worked out visually through pantomime and expressions.”

He put together a rough animatic which provided a direction for the film and earned him the title of head of story. That eventually “kind of morphed” into the co-director position with Tony Stacchi, said Annable.

As with Coraline and ParaNorman, Laika’s latest quirky feature employs a century-old style in which intricate handmade puppets are moved infinitesimally around tiny elaborate sets.

It’s all photographed one frame at a time to create the illusion of motion.

At the peak of production, Annable estimated roughly 350 people worked on The Boxtrolls, while roughly 50 stages were constructed and as many as 30 animators worked on set at the same time.

Amid a sea of computer-generated animated blockbusters, Annable said he appreciates the unique look and feel that stop-motion offers.

“There’s just nothing that looks like it, it really does stand out,” Annable said of the technique, also seen in Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie, and Peter Lord and Jeff Newitt’s The Pirates Band of Misfits, from Aardman Animations, the British company behind the Wallace & Gromit films.

“Stop-motion is so tactile and there’s so much texture to it and I really feel like we’ve done a lot with The Boxtrolls — it’s such a rich-looking form of animation. You can feel the light on all the objects, you can feel the density of everything.”

Still, The Boxtrolls does take advantage of modern-day technology by integrating visual effects to enhance the handmade elements, he said.

And it employs 3-D printers to create a range of facial expressions that can be inserted into each puppet without the need to re-scupt the figures.

“I think Coraline had about 207,000 expressions available to her. And Eggs, our main character, has about 1.4 million,” Annable noted. “So the amount of ability to emote and act in the films just keeps going up and up.”

The learning curve for Annable has been steep, with the soft-spoken illustrator calling the experience of directing “terrifying and exciting at the same time.”

“Being a story artist, I sort of presumed a lot of things that were happening out on the stages but I really didn’t quite know ... the level of detail and the amount of decisions required when you’re in the director’s seat. It’s been a pretty amazing education for me for the last couple of years.”

MONTREAL — Spike Lee has been described as one of the angriest filmmakers in the United States but he jokingly suggested this week that he was worried about a bit of ire coming his way during a news conference in Montreal.

“We’re not going to talk about the Rangers beating the Habs last year, are we?” said the diehard sports fan, referring to the Montreal Canadiens’ elimination from last season’s Stanley Cup playoffs at the hands of his hometown New York team.

“We’re not bringing that up?”

Lee didn’t have to worry.

He appeared at the Montreal International Black Film Festival where he was to be presented with the event’s first Pioneer award by P.K. Subban, the Habs co-captain.

“He’s a great player,” Lee said before the award ceremony, adding he watched Subban play in New York last season and waved at him during the pre-game skate.

“I’ve noticed a lot more players of colour in the National Hockey League.

The Rangers need to get one.”

The ceremony was to precede the Canadian premiere of Lee’s new film Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, a romantic horror comedy.

The event coincides with the 25th anniversary of Lee’s landmark film Do the Right Thing, about racial tensions in Brooklyn.

Lee acknowledged a lot has changed in the last 25 years.

“Twenty-five years ago, I would have never thought there would be an African-American president,” he said.

“That’s something that happened, so there have been many great developments.

“But there are more African-Americans who are in poverty now than there were back 25 years ago and police are still killing black people.”

He also pointed out that while there are more black stars, “black people are not taking over Hollywood.”

Lee, who is credited with helping revolutionize modern black cinema, said there is still a need for more diversity — including more women, Asians, and Hispanics — on TV and behind the scenes in television and movies.

“Sports in America has eclipsed Hollywood as far as diversity and I’m not just talking about on the field, on the court, either,” Lee said.

“In high-power positions in sports, African-Americans have jobs.”

He added that it would make good business sense in any kind of enterprise to reflect the diversity of the population.

Besides filmmaking, Lee also teaches at New York University’s graduate

‘I’M NOT ANGRY ALL THE TIME BUT THERE’S A LOT OF REASONS FOR PEOPLE TO BE ANGRY IN GENERAL FOR WHAT’S HAPPENED IN THE WORLD, NOT JUST AMERICA — THE ENVIRONMENT, WARS, A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF.’ — SPIKE LEE

film school.

He said his students told him about independent crowdfunding, which he used for Da Sweet Blood of Jesus.

“I know no studio was going to make this one,” he said of the film.

“Nobody’s flying through the air, there’s not big special effects. It’s too small a film for them.

It’s the same reason I raised money for She’s Gotta Have it. No studio was going to make that film, not back in 1986.”

Lee has often been blunt in his criticism of the U.S. and wasn’t shy about those feelings Wednesday, saying the country is a violent place built on the genocide of aboriginals and slavery.

He denied he’s an angry man.

“I’m not angry all the time but there’s a lot of reasons for people to be angry in general for what’s happened in the world, not just America — the environment, wars, a whole bunch of stuff,” he said.

“There’s a lot of stuff to be angry about, but I don’t know anyone who walks around in a 24-hour state of anger.”

Lee, whose mother and grandmother were teachers, cited education as one way to solve some of society’s ills, pointing out half of black teenagers in the U.S. don’t graduate from high school.

“There’s a direct line between the dropout rate and the prison population.”

He insisted success is possible but people have to work for it.

And, despite his criticism, Lee says there’s plenty to like about the U.S. “I love America,” he said.

“You can still love America and criticize it.

“I think it’s the greatest country in the world. Not to disrespect Canada, O Canada, but you can just do a lot of stuff there.

“If you’re driven and you’ve got a dream you can make it happen, more than every other country in the world.

“That’s why everybody’s trying to get in.”

RUSSELL Robert Roy May 25, 1974 - Sept. 17, 2014 Robert passed away suddenly and peacefully at the young age of 40 years. He was born in Red Deer, AB on May 25, 1974. He attended school in Penhold and Red Deer and furthered his education with his love of music at the Red Deer College music program.

He was a member of many bands including Moonshine Bandits, 89, and Sam Drucker’s General Store to name a few. He was also very proud to have had the opportunity to manage the “Clayton Bellamy Band”.

He made many lasting and close personal relationships throughout his musical career. Although Robert was passionate about his music, his greatest love was his sons Grayson and Gibson.

He furthered his working career in the trades of welding and pipe fitting.

These trades often took him away from home, which although he enjoyed his accomplishments in his careers, he was always eager to return home to his boys. Rob is survived by his parents, Ron and Helen Russell; sons, Grayson and Gibson, their mother Kandy and son Griffin; brothers, Tony (Cathy) and Ryan (Tara); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He will be dearly missed by Carrie and her family. Rob was very proud of this relationship, which brought him so much joy. Robert is predeceased by his grandparents, Roy Russell, Gwen Russell, Rose Friesen and Armand DesRochers. Rob’s generous spirit, large loving heart and sharp sense of humor endeared him to many. The beautiful memory of Robert will live on in our hearts. A memorial celebration of Roberts’s life is planned for Saturday, September the 27, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. in the Theatre Room of the Springbrook Multiplex in Springbrook Alberta which is located on highway 2A between Red Deer and Penhold.

In lieu of flowers, donations in honor of Rob will be accepted into a trust for his sons.

Surrounded by the love and support of family, friends, and caregivers, Garth quietly passed away in Lacombe, Alberta on Wednesday September 23, 2014. Born in Craven district, Saskatchewan in 1933, Garth’s younger years were spent with his 5 siblings (Reginald, Ronald, Orville, Barry, Marlene) in various towns throughout the province as his parents, Martha and Martin, fulfilled teaching contracts.

His love of sports began at an early age, and he pursued hockey, wrestling, baseball and football... dad often joked about the leather helmet that he wore in his early football days! Although he did well at school, it was not a favourite way for him to spend his time, and he found it more interesting and rewarding to work in local stores and businesses. His roots in the grocery store began with him being a stock boy and packer boy in Moose Jaw, and as he grew older the entrepreneurial spirit developed his dream of eventually having his own grocery store. His dream came true in 1958, when he left Saskatchewan for Alberta to build the Lacombe Tom Boy Store. He was soon joined by another Saskatchewan friend, Cliff Carson, and the two business partners officially opened the store’s doors in 1959. The Tom Boy store thrived, and many staff members and customers can probably recall Dad constantly walking the store aisles or overlooking everything from the office above the store’s floor space. A cigar stub and a plume of blue smoke often let people know of his whereabouts, and in later years this was replaced with toothpicks. The entrepreneurial spirit rose again in 1977 when Garth and Cliff upgraded the original store and expanded the entire building into the Tom Boy Plaza. They celebrated the store’s 25th anniversary in 1984 with family and staff, and then sold the grocery store in 1989.

Garth and Cliff continued to be business partners in managing the Plaza until it was sold in 2010. Once Garth had his business established, he turned his attention to winning the heart of a pretty new teacher in town, Karene Olsen, and they were married in the summer of 1962. They had four children (Denise, Colin, Kevin, Kent), and dad was an avid supporter, coach, chauffeur, manager and banker for them all! Dad always emphasized the importance of family, friends, and community, and showed his support and commitment to a wide range of individuals, groups, and organizations.

Hockey was always a big part of his life, and as a coach, many “young” players can probably recall Dad’s policy of “No stick until you can skate!”. He travelled to Europe in 1964 as the manager with the Lacombe Rockets hockey team, and served for many years as a referee and board member for the Alberta Amateur Hockey Association (AAHA). He began his membership in Kinsmen as a young man in Moose Jaw, and continued his involvement with the Lacombe Kinsmen and the K40s. Throughout the years, he demonstrated his commitment to his community as: President of the Lacombe Golf and Country Club, a member of the Lacombe Chamber of Commerce, being a town councillor, serving on the Lacombe Police and Hospital Boards, volunteering for the Alberta Senior Games, organizing events for Ducks Unlimited, and contributing to a wide range of charities and charitable events. In his later years, he loved to golf, watch sports, and enjoyed sharing hunting and fishing trips with close friends and family. He was a diehard Saskatchewan Roughriders fan!

He was recently predeceased by his wife Karene, and is survived

by Denise and Bill, Colin and Kami, Kevin, Kent, grandson Eric, Ally the family cat, as well as extended family on both the Wagner and Olsen sides. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for all the love and support that has been extended to Dad and all of us, especially to the nurses, caregivers, and medical staff with the Lacombe Continuing Care Centre. A memorial service will take place at St. Andrew’s United Church, 5226-51 Avenue, Lacombe on Friday October 3, 2014 at 11:00 a.m., with a luncheon to follow immediately at the church. The family extends an invitation for drinks and appetizers between 4-7 p.m. at the Lacombe Golf and Country Club. Those wishing to make memorial contributions may do so to Parkinson’s Alberta, 102, 5636 Burbank Crescent, Calgary, AB T2H 1Z6 or any other community/sport organization of choice.

Expressions of sympathy may be made by visiting www.wilsonsfuneralchapel.ca.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The Navajo Nation is poised to receive $554 million from the federal government over mismanagement of tribal resources in the largest settlement of its kind for an American Indian tribe.

Much of the land on the 27,000-square-mile (43,450-kilometre) reservation has been leased for things like farming, grazing, oil and gas development, mining and housing.

The leases once were largely overseen by the U.S. government, which mismanaged the revenue and failed to properly invest and account for it, according to the tribe.

U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell is scheduled to visit Window Rock on Friday to formally recognize the settlement.

“The historic agreement strengthens the government-to-government relationship between the United States and the Navajo Nation, helps restore a positive working relationship with the Nation’s leaders and empowers Navajo communities,” Jewell said in a statement Thursday.

Navajo officials hailed the settlement as a positive end to a long ordeal.

“The trust litigation has been a protracted battle and in the end, it was a victory for tribal sovereignty,” Tribal President Ben Shelly said in a statement.

The tribe agreed to settle the case earlier this year but was awaiting signatures from federal agencies before the deal could be finalized. The Navajo Nation originally sought $900 million when the lawsuit was filed in 2006.

The Navajo Reservation is larger than any single American Indian land base, covering sections of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Almost twothirds of the 300,000 Navajos live on the reservation that has some of the most iconic landscapes in the Southwest and is rich in natural resources.

Public meetings will be held to seek community input on how the money should be spent, Navajo Nation Council Delegate Lorenzo Curley said. The first meeting is scheduled for October.

Some tribal members have suggested that it be set aside for future generations or used for business development, he said.

Deswood Tome, an adviser to Shelly, said the money could help

Russian man charged with hacking and racketeering

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — Lawyers for a Russian man charged with hacking into businesses across the U.S. filed new motions in federal court insisting that they don’t have a conflict of interest and should remain on the job.

They also told a federal judge that the U.S. Bureau of Prisons has not allowed them to meet with Roman Seleznev face to face.

Seleznev, the son of a Russian lawmaker, was indicted in 2011 and arrested in the Maldives in July on charges that he hacked into U.S. businesses and installed software that allowed him to steal more than 200,000 credit card numbers from retail businesses in Western Washington and hundreds from companies across the U.S. He has pleaded not guilty.

Seleznev also faces racketeering

with housing, water, roads, power line extensions and other infrastructure needs.

About 70 per cent of the roads on the reservation are unpaved, an estimated 16,000 families don’t have electricity and many more don’t have telephone service, water or natural gas services, according to the tribal utility provider.

Andrew Sandler, one of the Navajo Nation’s attorneys on the case, said the tribe has taken on much of the responsibility for leasing on its land. If further disputes arise with the federal government, the settlement outlines a process to resolve them.

The Navajo Nation includes more than 14 million acres (5 million hectares) of trust lands, which are leased for grazing, farming, oil and gas development and other purposes. The tribe owns or has ownership interests in more than 100 trust accounts, according to the U.S. Department of Interior.

The federal government mismanaged the extraction of natural resources on Navajo land, Sandler said.

In addition, the Navajo Nation didn’t get entitled royalties and the U.S. government failed to appropriately invest money that came from natural resource contracts.

Tribes across the country have filed more than 100 breach-of-trust cases against the U.S. government. The Navajo Nation settlement is the largest, exceeding the next highest amount by $170 million, Sandler said.

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Native Americans elsewhere received final cash payments last week in one of the largest settlements involving individual trust funds in U.S. history. The $3.4 billion Cobell settlement, named for Elouise Cobell of Browning, Montana, resolves a class action lawsuit over billions of royalties lost from the accounts of individual Indians.

Sandler called today’s Navajo settlement and the Cobell one “probably the two most important resolutions of claims against the U.S. government

by American Indians or sovereign tribes.”

The Interior Department said it is working to resolve cases with other tribes without going to trial. Since October 2010, the Obama administration has settled about 80 cases, totalling more than $2 billion.

Sandler said the Navajo Nation should receive its money within 60 days. charges in Nevada. The Nevada indictment resulted from a federal Homeland Security investigation called “Operation Open Market.”

Seleznev and 54 others are charged with being part of a Russian cybercrime organization called “Carder. su” that allegedly trafficked stolen credit-card information and counterfeit identifications.

Prosecutors say members of the group operated an Internet site called a forum where they could buy stolen data. As part of the group, Seleznev allegedly ran a website “that allows members to search for the particular type of credit card information they want to buy, add the number of accounts they wish to purchase to their ’shopping cart’ and then check out,” the indictment said. Payments for the data were automatically deducted from a pre-established account, the indictment said. Seleznev allegedly sold each stolen account number for $20.

Prosecutors say the group victimized more than 1 million people and businesses.

Dolce & Gabbana present fierce matador looks MARNI OPENS WITH MONASTIC SOLEMNITY AT MILAN FASHION WEEK MILAN, Italy — Milan designers wrapped up five days of previews for next summer’s womenswear looks on Sunday.

While trends like geometric wedge sandals, billowing diaphanous dresses and embellished boyfriend denim trousers won’t be in stores for months, the fashion hungry already have a good idea what to expect thanks to the hashtag-driven world.

That’s a good thing, helping to demystify fashion, according to Heidi Klum, has played a big role in the popular evolution of fashion as one of the creators, along with Harvey Weinstein, of Project Runway.

“People can understand it better now,” said Klum, who was in Milan for

an AmFAR gala Saturday evening, and took in the Versace and Roberto Cavalli collections.

“Because of Project Runway, because of social media. You see editors in the front row uploading all the photos right from the runway, so you see it immediately. Now everyone is competing and showing things.”

Klum said she herself is “fearless with fashion” and bravely wears things many department store buyers would rather leave on the runway. “I love wearing all those beautiful clothes. I have a lot of opportunities to wear the beautiful gowns. I understand not everybody does.”

AmFAR gala

Klum’s fashion choice for the AmFAR event was a red carpet-worthy strapless black Versace gown accented by a cage-like gold corset.

Klum, who has been working with AmFAR for over a decade, oversaw an auction that raised $1.4 million for the AmFAR foundation, which has set a goal of curing AIDS by 2020.

A Damien Hirst piece fetched the highest price of the evening, 250,000 euros ($320,000), while Israeli model Bar Refaeli helped drive up bidding on a Robert Rauschenberg print titled “Soviet/American Array III” to 110,000 euros ($140,000).

“I think it is so important what they do,” Klum said. “They are raising millions and millions of dollars for the research.”

sometimes ill-fated adventures.

Last season it was the Normans, this time it’s the Spaniards -- giving the designing duo plenty of material to express passion: black lace, ruffled skirts, silken fringe and red carnations.

The looks were fierce, as in matador jackets worn with high-waist bubble shorts, romantic, as indicated by a heart-and-rhinestone encrusted red jacket paired with a flowing black lace skirt, and sexy, with trademark corsets worn with stockings or a sheer black skirt.

Some were simply sweetly pretty: a lace poncho fashioned out of reddishpink roses and finished with red fringe, paired with a short skirt or dress and worn with bejeweled ballerina flats.

Massimiliano Giornetti has updated brand founder Salvatore Ferragamo’s original 1938 Rainbow wedge sandal, created for Judy Garland.

The shoe has been made modern with monochromes, and paired with exotic skins, while the platforms undulate both along the horizontal and the vertical.

That movement echoes the clothes in the collection, and epitomizes how Giornetti is perfecting the marriage of apparel and leather goods at the centre of the brand’s identity.

nity.

Pale in colour and light on adornment, the looks were quietly meditative, referencing martial arts with long black belts knotted at the navel, wide pants that dragged effortless along the ground and long asymmetrical trailing hemlines. Flashes of white on the sandy backgrounds seemed aimed at directing an energy flow.

A cappuccino brown anorak was proportioned like a monk’s garb, its tall collar suggestive of the typical hood. Slip-on sandals contributed to the simplicity of the look.

Then the collection started to vibrate a bit more intensely, at first with grey florals, flashes of black and white, then colour and bold prints incorporating green, peach, yellow, pink and cyan. The progression also saw shapes get bigger and more extreme as oversized Flamingo ruffles, half bustles and winged sleeves introduced new volumes.
