Solving crimes behind the scenes

Solidarity

FORENSIC IDENTIFICATION SPECIALISTS CAN BE AN IMPORTANT PART OF AN RCMP INVESTIGATION

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF These crime fighters owe a big debt to Sherlock Holmes.

You will not see them interview witnesses at a multi-vehicle pile-up on the highway or search for a suspicious person in a neighbourhood.

These officers scour a crime scene looking for clues that will ultimately put the bad guys behind bars, just as the fictional detective Holmes does in stories created more than a century ago by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Forensic identification specialists are trained to collect and analyze evidence left behind by criminals. It could be anything from a smear of blood on a piece of clothing, fingerprints on a window glass or a footprint impression.

The Red Deer Forensic Identification Services unit boasts about nine specialists who work for 20 RCMP detachments in the province. Alberta has 10 RCMP forensic identification units.

Red Deer RCMP Sgt. Steve Gruenberg, who is in charge of the unit, said they do not attend every crime scene but definitely those that may have some sort of forensic value.

A front-line police officer may go to a break-andenter crime scene and find evidence that forensic investigators may be able to collect.

During his time in Fort McMurray, Gruenberg worked on a homicide investigation involving a single mother. A suspect broke into her residence and killed the woman. Police had a difficult time coming up with suspects.

“At that scene, I was able to develop footwear evidence, blood, fingerprints and DNA evidence that were later on associated to the suspect who was ultimately convicted,” said Gruenberg.

SISTERS IN SPIRIT HONOUR MISSING AND MURDERED ABORIGINAL WOMEN Photo by ASHLI BARRETT/Advocate staff

The Red Deer Native Friendship Society and members of the community walk as part of the Sisters in Spirit Vigil, honouring missing and murdered aboriginal girls and women on Saturday. The walk began at the Red Deer Museum, and headed towards City Hall, before circling back to the museum for a closing circle.

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF After prayers and drumming that included an aboriginal warrior women’s song, Sisters in Spirit participants walked in solidarity to City Hall as part of the local vigil held on Saturday evening.

Last year 216 Sisters in Spirit Vigils were held across the country in honour of missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls.

“It is a phenomena that’s happening everywhere, sadly, and part of it has to do with the hope of making a better life somewhere else,” said Tanya Schur, executive director of the Red Deer Native Friendship Society on Saturday.

She said life is especially hard for those who move off reserve. Better programs and supports are needed to make that big transition.

“Today is a really important day for us as a community to stand together,” Schur said.

Mayor Tara Veer said bringing justice to where there is injustice is important to her and she hopes violence against all women and girls would “absolutely be a resounding intolerance” in Red Deer.

“I am just so proud of everyone here. We have such a responsibility and imperative to raise awareness and affect social change for those victimized

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

women and girls among us and across our country,” Veer said to about 60 people who came out to the vigil.

On Friday, the RCMP launched a social media campaign to help solve unsolved cases of missing aboriginal women and girls. Ten cases from across Canada will be featured on the RCMP’s Facebook and on Twitter until Oct. 12.

People are encouraged to visit canadasmissing. ca to review the cases and learn how to submit a tip; ‘Like’ the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Facebook to see information about the cases and share them; and follow @rcmpgrcpolice on Twitter to read about the cases and retweet information.

In May the RCMP released, The National Operational Overview on Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women, the most comprehensive and accurate account to date of missing and murdered aboriginal females.

According to the report, aboriginal women are over-represented among Canada’s murdered and missing women.

Between 1980 and 2012, there were 1,017 aboriginal female homicide victims and 164 considered missing. Of these, there were 225 unsolved cases of either missing or murdered aboriginal females.

Red Deer firefighters get ready to put out the blaze in a makeshift bedroom without a sprinkler as part of a demonstration on residential sprinkler systems on Saturday afternoon. After combatting the fire in the first unit, firefighters moved on to a second one equipped with a sprinkler, which helped put out the fire before it got out of hand. The demonstration was part of Red Deer Emergency Services’ 19th annual open house at the downtown fire station.

It’s not that easy to spend $157,800 conserving wetlands in the Red Deer River watershed, says an Alberta Conservation Association spokesman.

The difficulty in spending the money — a share of the fine money following an oil spill on the Red Deer River — is twofold, said Ken Kranrod, vice-president of the Alberta Conservation Association.

Riparian habitat in Alberta is relatively scarce and because of the province’s economy, land is expensive.

But Kranrod is confident the money from the fine will be spent protecting that habitat, and the conservation association’s mandate is to do that within the next three years.

It must be spent on habitat protection in the Red Deer River watershed.

“We don’t have anything on the radar screen right now,” he said, but they are constantly looking at lands, as well as receiving offers from people interested in selling land into protection. More than 700 conservation sites in Alberta fall under the association’s umbrella.

ASIRT investigating after shooting involving officer

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

ALBERTA SERIOUS INCIDENT RESPONSE TEAM

Red Deer RCMP say an officer was involved in a shooting when police stopped a vehicle on Saturday morning.

There were no injuries as a result of the shooting.

No other details were available from police.

Alberta Serious Incident Response Team was investigating.

The team investigates incidents or complaints

involving serious injury or death of any person, and matters of a serious or sensitive nature that may have resulted from the actions of a police officer.

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

FORENSIC: Serious person crimes “Forensic evidence definitely helped because it was initially an unknown situation. It was a whodunnit type of scenario. In that case, the footwear and fingerprint evidence certainly helped that case develop a lot quicker than it might have otherwise.”

The forensic investigators are always called for the serious person crimes such as homicide or sexual assault, and often for property crimes.

In Red Deer, the volume varies, but Gruenberg said officers are usually out at a property crime scene every day.

Sometimes forensic evidence offers the only clue left at a scene, and that makes the investigators’ role crucial in solving crimes. In most cases, there aren’t video cameras recording the scene or witnesses to the crime. Gruenberg did not have any statistics on the success rate but he estimated that more than half the time they can match a name to a foot impression or a fingerprint to a name.

“There isn’t a lot of adrenaline rushes in our jobs,” said Gruenberg. “We don’t race out to scenes very often. And we’re not apprehending the suspect.

Within our job, we try to remain unbiased as possible. We’re not out to get anybody. We just take the forensic evidence and let it speak for itself.”

The investigators wear protective clothing to preserve the evidence from cross-contamination.

And they can be called in to provide expert testimony in court. Gruenberg said they can be challenged on their background and expertise.

The police veteran has worked on more than a dozen homicide investigations — everything from drug deals gone wrong to domestic situations.

The CSI effect has brought some exposure to the role of forensic evidence in police work. The original television show CSI and its spinoffs depict investigators who solve serious crimes over the span of a couple days within the hour-long program.

Gruenberg said the reality is that sometimes the fingerprint identification process can take days or weeks, depending on the evidence.

“The show brought exposure to the field, which I think (for) forensic evidence is very important,” he said. “Sometimes with witness statements people forget things. They see things from a different perspective. Forensic evidence itself can be interpreted in different ways but it certainly is speaking in an unbiased way. It doesn’t lie. That’s why forensic evidence is very important.” crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

SISTERS: Increased attention The number of aboriginal female victims of homicide has remained relatively constant while the number of non-aboriginal female victims has been declining.

The Red Deer Sisters in Spirit Vigil was sponsored by Red Deer Native Friendship Society, in partnership with Central Alberta AIDS Network Society, and Action Coalition on Human Trafficking Alberta.

“Across Canada, there has been increased attention on missing and murdered indigenous women and there has been some speculation that some of these women have been trafficked at some point along that continuum of abuse and exploitation,” said Andrea Burkhart, human trafficking coalition executive director.

According to the May 2014 study, Trafficking of Aboriginal Women and Girls, prepared by Red Willow Consulting Inc. for Public Safety Canada, aboriginal women and girls are recruited by various methods including “coercion through ‘love’ and domestic violence, which means at times women are not aware they are being trafficked.”

Red Deer RCMP Sgt. Steve Gruenberg of Red Deer Forensic Identification Services demonstrates a technique to find fingerprints.

The report went on to say: “The socio-economic determinants of sexual exploitation and trafficking tend to result from factors such as the legacy of physical and sexual abuse experienced in the residential school system, dispossession of identity and culture via the Indian Act, violence, racism and the marginalization of aboriginal women resulting in loss of culture, low self-esteem, poverty, and in a heightened vulnerability to being trafficked.

Addictions among the victims of trafficking appears to be widespread, and are often the result of either being introduced to drugs as a method of control or are used to escape the harsh realities of being exploited.”

But Burkhart said trafficking is not just an aboriginal issue.

“One of the things we’ve found is a lack of awareness is really impeding the response to trafficking.

There really isn’t a good understanding of what it is.

There needs to be more training and more co-ordination and collaboration.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

WETLANDS: Relatively dry province Plains Midstream Canada was fined a total of $1.3 million four months ago after pleading guilty to two major oil spills — one into the Red Deer River and wetlands, and the other into marshlands near Little Buffalo in Northern Alberta.

The Red Deer River spill, which occurred near Sundre in June 2012, amounted to about 450,000 litres of crude oil, and occurred when a 48-year-old pipeline under the river failed. Gleniffer Lake, a reservoir downstream, was closed for three weeks.

Extra: 4241751 Pick 3: 009 Western 6/49: 1, 12,19,

Alberta is a relatively dry province, said Kranrod, especially in Southern and Central Alberta.

“Compare us to B.C. or Ontario or Manitoba ... the amount of water resources we have in Alberta is not a lot,” Kranrod said.

“We’re always looking at preserving or restoring or enhancing riparian habitat whenever we can, but riparian habitat is hard to come by.”

“We are actively looking for projects.”

Riparian habitat — areas that include places such as wetlands, marshes, ponds, and land alongside rivers — is quite important to wildlife.

Some species only exists in marshes, for example, and larger species such as moose, that live in uplands habit (forest) need the water and vegetation in riparian areas, Kranrod points out.

“A lot of riparian habitat has been converted over the years, whether it’s been by agriculture or forestry or oil and gas, or just simply the growth of cities. Human progress has diminished the amount of naturally occurring riparian habitat there is (in Alberta),” said Kranrod.

“We look at and buy a lot of land every year ... we function as a land trust.”

“Will we find a nice huge piece of beautiful riparian habitat that we can purchase for $157,800?

No. That would be very hard to do. But what we will most likely do is we will find something that comes up that will be really nice but it will be more money.

So these dollars here will help us leverage other monies,” whether it’s other ACA money, a partner’s money or a grant.

The non-profit conservation association wants to secure fish and or wildlife habitat but their lands are also for humans to maintain a connection with nature, Kranrod said.

STROKE AWARENESS WALK COMPLETED

Prentice says time becoming critical factor in worker shortage

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by ASHLI BARRETT/Advocats staff

Stroke survivor Daniel Trudell reaches the finish mark of his 58 kilometre trek from Olds to Red Deer Saturday afternoon. Trudell, who wanted to help raise awareness of strokes began his walk at the Petro Canada station at the corner of Highway 27 and 2A, and finished at Harley-Davidson in Gasoline Alley.

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Jim Prentice says time is becoming a critical factor in solving the temporary foreign worker shortage, but he dismissed criticism that an exploitative province is to blame.

“I’ve never agreed with the suggestion that really this is about Alberta business people trying to underpay.

“That is not my experience. That’s not what I’ve heard. That’s not what I’ve seen,” Prentice said in an interview.

“To be sure, there are always going to be people taking advantage of any government program.

“But by and large the employers I’ve met across Alberta just want hands and feet. They just want people to fulfil these jobs.

“They’re quite prepared in most of the cases I’ve seen to pay a premium to get people here. They just can’t find people given the red hot economy.”

Prentice plans soon to meet with Prime Minister Stephen Harper to discuss, among other issues, the temporary foreign worker changes that he says have hit Alberta’s roaring economy hard.

In June, Harper’s government brought in rules to limit the number of foreign workers that large and medium-sized companies can hire, to ensure Canadians are first in line for jobs.

Alberta and its oilsands engine have led the nation in growth during the past 20 years. Despite 100,000 newcomers a year, Alberta has grown heavily reliant on temporary foreign workers.

As of December 2012, there were more than 68,000 temporary foreign workers in Alberta — 20 per cent of the Canadian total.

Prentice said rule changes are starting to hit home, particularly in rural areas and in agriculture.

“People are becoming more concerned about (the worker shortage) because (a crisis) is more imminent,” said Prentice.

“In the areas like the packing plants, (the shortage) is going to back up from the slaughterhouses to the farm gates.”

Prentice is not the only western leader expressing concerns.

This week, B.C. Premier Christy Clark told the province’s business community that training young people and wooing skilled workers from other provinces simply won’t be enough to meet the labour needs of her envisioned liquefied natural gas industry.

COMMENT

A4

MONDAY, OCT. 6, 2014

Treaty strength tested B.C. First Nations chiefs recently travelled to Ottawa to urge the federal government to pull the plug on the costliest infrastructure project in the country.

At an estimated $7.9 billion and growing, the proposed Site C Dam on the beautiful Peace River in northeastern B.C. has been criticized DAVID for spiralling SUZUKI costs, questions about whether the electricity it would produce is even needed, and concerns about the environmental and social impacts of flooding thousands of hectares of prime farmland, irreplaceable cultural sites and wildlife habitat.

The government is expected to make a decision in October.

While in Ottawa, First Nations leaders also reminded politicians that the Peace River Valley is the traditional territory of the Dane-zaa, and Canada has clear obligations to them under the 1899 Treaty 8. Years of case law, as

SCIENCE

well as the recent Supreme Court of Canada Tsilhqot’in decision, confirm that First Nations must have a say on industrial development on their lands.

If built, Site C would violate First Nations’ rights under Treaty 8, rendering them irrelevant to the point of mockery. Treaty 8 guarantees First Nations the right to hunt and fish “for as long as the sun shines, the rivers flow and the grass grows.” But are treaty promises even worth the paper they’re written on when hunting grounds will be drowned under water, moose populations decimated and fish contaminated with toxic methyl mercury from decaying vegetation?

Site C would also obliterate hundreds of graves and ceremonial sites, and so hinder cultural and traditional practices. Hunting, fishing, collecting medicinal plants and visiting sacred sites are activities by which First Nations maintain their cultural and spiritual identity and connection to the land. How long will Treaty 8 First Nations be able to sustain a vibrant, living culture when the dam devastates their land and communities?

These questions are not hypothetical. A Joint Review Panel, convened by the federal and B.C. governments, concluded Site C would significantly harm Treaty 8 First Nations. The panel found the dam would have “significant

adverse effects” on fishing, hunting and trapping, and on other traditional land uses — and not just in B.C., but downstream where the Peace River enters Alberta. According to the panel, most of these adverse effects would be impossible to mitigate.

In standing up for the Peace Valley and saying “no” to the Site C Dam, Treaty 8 First Nations’ leaders are acting not only on their own behalf, but also for other Canadians, including local farming communities with which they have co-existed for generations.

Together, these rural communities are reminding the government and the rest of us that the Peace Valley offers immense bounty and natural wealth through fishing, hunting and potential for food production, and is too valuable to be sacrificed for industrial development. A recent study by David Suzuki Foundation economists also found that, each year, the Peace River Valley and surrounding areas provide billions of dollars in beneficial ecological services like pollination, water filtration and flood control.

The Peace Valley has productive soils and a unique microclimate ideally suited to producing a wide range of crops. According to three senior agricultural experts who testified before the Joint Review Panel, the eastwest Peace River Valley’s deep allu-

vial soils, long northern daylight in the growing season and microclimate for agriculture could produce fruits and vegetables to meet the nutritional needs of over a million people a year!

The California drought this past summer reminds us that relying on imported food makes us vulnerable. B.C. already imports over 57 per cent of the fresh vegetables British Columbians consume each year, much of which could be grown in the province. The situation is similar elsewhere in Canada.

Recent court cases are a wake-up call for politicians. When it comes to decisions that could irrevocably affect them, the days of running roughshod over First Nations are over. B.C.’s Treaty 8 First Nations have already borne the brunt of decades of industrial development on their lands, including two earlier Peace River dams.

They have also found common cause with local communities fighting to save family farms and ranches.

Building the Site C Dam and flooding the Peace Valley would be more than folly; it would be a tragedy for First Nations, agriculture and the environment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks to Lough for saving Michener Well, Bill Lough, your mission is accomplished.

You fought long, and you fought hard.

A million thanks go out to you, keeping us all strong, and all the time and effort you put in in the fight to keep Michener Centre open.

What a trooper you are.

We truly appreciate everything you’ve done for all concerned.

Deanna Kerik Bashaw

Are we sliding into another war?

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has committed military advisers to Iraq without any Parliament debate. The mission is supposed to be for 30 days.

Harper has not bothered to disclose any details about this mission. We have no idea about the strategic or tactical activities.

Harper talked about his willingness to expand Canada’s involvement at a recent business leader conference in the U.S. He announced this in a foreign country, not in Canada and to Canadians! Where is his responsibility to us or his respect for Canadians?

One can only imagine the outrage of Americans if President Obama would announce such a thing in foreign country. The opposition and I assume Canadians are concerned about a “slippery slope” that could lead to Canada ending up in a combat role. No doubt Harper is facing enormous pressure from the U.S. to join their mission, but haven’t we learned our lesson in 11 years Afghanistan?

Even mayor players such as Turkey and the Arab states have not shown any eagerness to get involved, neither have any European countries, except France.

So, why is Harper so eager to get Canada into another war?

Worst of all why is he not willing to share his plans with Canadians? No discussion in Parliament in spite of ongoing question by NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair. In fact, Mulcair’s questions about Canada’s involvement in the war against ISIS were met with kindergarten behaviour and answered three times in a row with something about Israel. No, Mulcair said frustrated in Iraq, what is our involvement in Iraq ... no answers.

This is very disrespectful, the Opposition leader in the house and Canadians have a right to know if we are sliding into another war such as Afghanistan.

After all it involves young Canadian soldiers lives, so many lost in Afghanistan, so many returned crippled, emotionally destroyed and dealing with PTSD often for the rest of their lives. Not to mention the billions of Canadian taxpayers’ money that any involvement will cost us. Canada is still in debt, even oil/gas rich Alberta (how that is possible is another PC mystery).

Is it time for Canadians to speak up? Are we ready to sacrifices and destroy more young Canadians lives? Deal with the aftermath? Are you willing to let your millions of taxpayers’ money be used for combat missions in Iraq and Syria? Are you ready to be dictated into another war that could last years?

Don’t we need more infrastructure improvement here, or health care or education money? There will be another substantial hike in post-secondary education fees, while in Europe that is free, no tuition, free education, also in England, Scotland and Ireland.

But we are looking at continuous hikes, burdening our young people with tens of thousands of dollars in student loans.

Sixty per cent of Canadians didn’t vote for Harper, let there be at least a debate in Parliament about important issues such as involvement in another war!

And fellow Canadians, we do have a voice.

Ilse Quick Lacombe

Look south for employment help After reading the Sept. 30 Advocate, We need Alberta solution for shortage of workers, I have to voice my opinion.

We need not have to fly people from halfway across the world.

I own a small auto body repair shop here in Red Deer County. I have been in business for over 10 years but I am worried how much longer I can hang on due to the drastic shortage of skilled labour.

Sadly I believe the answer for some of us small businesses sits just a few hours south of our border with the United States. I visited two well-known shops in Las Vegas earlier this year and asked them if they too were having problems retaining skilled staff. This really took them by surprise, as one person said they had a list of people wanting jobs as long as your arm.

I have seen on American TV that for every job posted in the U.S., there are at least three qualified workers wanting that job.

This is good for those businesses as it keeps productivity at a competitive level (workers compete to keep there jobs).

Can it be that hard for our government to tap into this valuable resource? Or will they drag their feet until hundreds of small businesses roll back services and increase prices, or even close there doors.

Does the “Alberta Advantage” mean business owners have to beg people just to give them a job?

I have been advertising for just one position since February with minimal results.

Conservatives cagey about extending role in Iraq ISIL MISSION

OTTAWA — Defence Minister Rob Nicholson is refusing to say whether Canada will bow out of its planned combat role in Iraq after six months or seek an extension.

MPs are expected to vote Monday on the Conservative government’s decision to join allies in airstrikes against the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which has been terrorizing stretches of Iraq and Syria.

The opposition NDP and Liberals have indicated they will not support Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s plan, partly out of concern Canada could be dragged into a lengthy quagmire.

The government’s majority is expected to ensure swift passage of the motion following debate in the Commons.

In an interview with CTV’s Question Period broadcast Sunday, Nicholson stressed the motion before Parliament would commit Canada’s CF-18 fighters for a maximum of six months.

But he stopped short of promising that would be the end of Canada’s combat mission.

“What we’re asking for right now is up to six months, and we’ve been very clear on that,” Nicholson said, adding, “we always have to assess what we’re

doing.”

The New Democrats and Liberals have proposed a bigger humanitarian role for Canada to help refugees fleeing the bloody strife that has beset the region.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair predicted Harper would return to Parliament in six months seeking to extend the military mission.

Muclair pointed to the turmoil unleashed by the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

“If the Americans couldn’t get the job done in a decade, we’re not going to get it done in six months,” he told CTV. “We have to learn the lessons of the past.”

In his statement Friday outlining Canada’s plan, Harper insisted the government is “seized with the necessity” of avoiding prolonged hostilities.

“Indeed, we and our allies are acting now precisely to avoid a situation that was clearly headed to a wider, protracted and much more dangerous conflict.”

Canada would join the United States, Britain, France, Australia and others in airstrikes intended to stop ISIL from engaging in large-scale mili-

B.C. CDC confirms ninth case of child with enterovirus D68 in province VANCOUVER — The B.C. Centre for Disease Control has confirmed another child tested positive for enterovirus D68 in the province, bringing the total number of cases to nine.

CDC spokeswoman Danuta Skowronski says six of the patients are less than 10 years old, three of them are between 10 and 19 and seven of them are boys.

There has been a number of cases of EV-D68 in the United States and the illness is blamed for the death of a four-yearold boy in New Jersey on the weekend.

Skowronski says the centre is monitoring but so far there has been no spike in respiratory illness indicators in B.C., or any reports of clusters of severe respiratory illness in the province.

The patients are spread throughout the province, with four cases in the Fraser Valley health region, three in Vancouver Coastal and one each in the Interior and Northern health authority jurisdictions.

There have been dozens of confirmed cases of EV-D68 in Canada, which usually causes only mild cold symptoms but in a small number of infected children can cause poliolike symptoms.

No appeal of Canadian’s jail sentence in Cuba may open door to return: lawyer A lawyer for a Canadian businessman sentenced in Cuba to 15 years in prison says a decision will be made this week whether to appeal or let the verdict stand in hopes of speeding his return to Canada.

Cy Tokmakjian, who owns the Ontario-based automotive company Tokmakjian Group, was sentenced last month on corruption-related charges that his family has called completely false.

Company lawyer Hermenegildo Altozano says there is a Friday deadline on whether to seek an appeal with Cuba’s Supreme Court.

But Altozano says an active appeal would put off Tokmakjian’s possible return to Canada under a prisoner transfer treaty.

He says Tokmakjian’s lawyers in Cuban are looking for assurances that he may be released to serve his sentence in Canada if no further legal action is taken.

Altozano says Canadi-

BRIEF

of Canadian government assistance aimed at promoting religious freedom, democratic development and inter-faith tolerance.

Bennett says the measures will be aimed at mitigating the negative effect of Putin, whom he accused of systematically targeting Christian groups in eastern Ukraine, where proRussian militias are active, as well as Muslim Tatars in Crimea, which Russia unilaterally annexed in March. Russian forces have kidnapped priests, detained nuns, firebombed churches and intimidated worshippers, he says.

The Russian forces are targeting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyivan Patriarchate, which Bennett sees as part of a plan by Putin to prop up the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church.

“It’s definitely part of a calculated plan,” Bennett said.

“It’s a narrative drawn from the 19th century, not the Soviet period.

This is a narrative building upon Russian nationalism that is rooted in Orthodoxy.”

an officials have been active on the case, and the family was told Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird raised the matter with his Cuban counterpart at the United Nations General Assembly two weeks ago.

And he says MP Peter Kent, who represents Tokmakjian’s riding of Vaughan, Ont., also went to Cuba to lobby for his release.

“If by not appealing we get assurances that he will be released then it is very likely that no appeal will occur,” Altozano said in an interview Sunday. The company’s Cuban offices were raided in 2011 as the country launched an anti-graft drive that has swept up foreign business executives from at least five nations as well as government officials and dozens of Cuban employees at key state-run companies.

Tokmakjian was held for more than two years before being tried in June Altozano noted that the possible approval of a transfer may also be contingent on the company dropping claims with the International Chamber of Commerce and an Ontario court over the confiscation of its assets.

While he couldn’t confirm whether talks were already taking place, he noted that such conversations may be occuring under the radar given the complexities of Cuba’s legal system.

Kopeck rescues Rebels on road trip

PRESEASON BATTLE

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Rebels 4 Pats 3 (OT) REGINA — Just when it seemed quite possible that the Red Deer Rebels would return home from their WHL Eastern Division road trip with a trio of setbacks versus no victories, Presten Kopeck came to the rescue.

Kopeck potted his second goal of the game 1:06 into overtime to lift the Rebels to a 4-3 win over the Regina Pats Sunday and snap a two-game losing streak that included 3-0 and 7-1 defeats to the Moose Jaw Warriors and Brandon Wheat Kings.

“We needed to respond because we didn’t play that well the first two games, certainly not to the level we had been playing at,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter. “We got a positive response tonight and we needed that. Everyone stepped up.”

The Rebels never trailed Sunday in front of 3,156 fans at the Brandt Centre. Red Deer forward Brooks Maxwell opened the scoring 3:13 in to the contest, Sam Steel pulled the Pats even seven minutes later, Kopeck shot the Rebels back in front with a powerplay tally shortly after and Pats defenceman Kyle Burroughs connected 12 seconds into the second period.

Rebels starting netminder Taz Burman was pulled following the Pats’ second marker and was replaced

by Rylan Toth.

“He’s a young guy and we’re trying to get him into some games, and he’s been fighting it,” said Sutter, in reference to Burman, who stopped two of the four shots he faced before being pulled.

“Tonight he fought it. The second goal was quickly into the second period from a wrist shot from the blueline on a rush. He (Burman) just missed it. But we’ll continue to work on his game and Taylor (Rebels goaltender coach Dakers) will spend time with him and work on what needs to be done.

“But Tother (Toth) played well on this trip. Last night (at Brandon) we were not very good and he took a lot of rubber and made some big saves.

“We have two young goalies and we have to patient with them.”

Adam Musil restored the Rebels’ lead a mere 70 seconds after Burroughs’ goal, but Pats’ overage import Pavel Padakin scored on the power play just two minutes later. From there, neither club scored until Kopeck closed the deal with his fourth goal of the season.

Burman and Toth combined to make 16 saves, while the Rebels directed 31 shots at Pats netminder Daniel Wapple.

The Rebels were coming off a 7-1 thumping to the host Brandon Wheat Kings Saturday night. The winners got a goal from each of Colton Waltz, Jayce Hawryluk, Ivan Provorov, Jesse Gabrielle, Rihards Bukharts, Nolan Patrick and Quintin Lisoway, while Musil broke Jordan Papirny’s shutout bid with a goal at 14:20 of the third period.

Toth stopped 25 of 31 shots for the Rebels, with Burman blocking two of three.

“We never played well in Moose Jaw, we were erratic,” said Sutter. “And last night (at Brandon) our intensity, emotion and work ethic dropped down from where we need it to be. Our team play, more importantly, wasn’t where we need it to be the first two games.

“We were better in all areas tonight. Our work ethic, discipline and structure to our game was much better.”

Rebels defenceman Haydn Fleury sat out Sunday with a lower-body injured he suffered the night before in Brandon.

“We’re hoping it’s not serious,” said Sutter.

The Rebels return to action this weekend with Friday and Saturday home dates with the Medicine Hat Tigers and Wheat Kings. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Bentley Generals’ Kyle Sheen (79) Battles with Innisfail Eagles defenceman Pete Vandermeer (75) on Sunday in Innisfail. Torrie Dyck potted all three goals for the Bentley Generals in a 3-1 win over the Innisfail Eagles in the final game of the Eagles’ Chinook Hockey League preseason tournament. Matt Hunter scored the lone Innisfail goal. Travis Yonkman stopped 20 shots as the winning netminder. Steve Stanford made 46 saves for the Eagles. The tournament host Eagles finished 0-2 for the weekend after falling 6-3 to the Okotoks Drillers Friday. Bentley downed the Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs 4-2 Saturday and finished 2-0.

Argonauts hold off late rally by Eskimos for win

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Argonauts 33 Eskimos 32 TORONTO — Now the real fun begins for Ricky Ray and the Toronto Argonauts.

Ray threw two TD passes to Chad Owens as Toronto held on for a 33-32 win over the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday afternoon. The Argos (5-8) moved into a second-place tie with idle Montreal in the East Division. They control their playoff destiny as their final five regular-season games are against conference rivals, four being at Rogers Centre.

“We’ve got a lot of big ones coming up, fortunately we have a lot of them at home,” Ray said. “It’s an advantage playing here, the home crowd can help us build momentum and now we don’t have to worry about travelling.”

The Tiger-Cats (6-7) beat the B.C. Lions 19-17 on Saturday night to take sole possession of first in the CFL East. That outcome wasn’t pivotal because Toronto hosts Hamilton on Friday night and Oct. 25.

Toronto also plays Montreal twice — at Rogers Centre on Oct. 18, then at Molson Stadium on Nov. 2 — before finishing the regular season hosting the Ottawa Redblacks on Nov. 7.

Edmonton (9-5) made it interesting as Mike Reilly found Nate Coehoorn on a 15-yard TD, then ran for the two-point convert to pull the Eskimos to within 33-32 with 25 seconds remaining. But Toronto’s Jamie Robinson recovered the onside kick as Ray improved to 2-3 against his former team before 16,276 spectators.

Ray finished 22-of-33 passing for 224 yards and also had an interception.

For Owens, it was important for Toronto to begin a four-game homestand on a winning note. The Argos were at Rogers Centre for the first time since a 33-17 loss to B.C. on Aug. 17.

“This is something that we needed,” he said. “It was like a playoff game.”

Toronto kicker Swayze Waters booted six field goals but missed from 21 yards out in the fourth that went for a single. But Waters redeemed himself roughly three minutes later with a crucial 38-yard kick that put the Argos ahead 33-24 at 13:39.

“We’ve got a lot of trust in him,” Milanovich said.

“I would’ve liked to finish some of those drives but it’s huge when he comes through when they stall.”

Kendial Lawrence had two TDs for Edmonton, including a 107-yard kickoff return. The Eskimos remain tied with Saskatchewan for in the West Division and will play their remaining four games against conference rivals (two home, two away).

Eskimos head coach Chris Jones, who also runs Edmonton’s defence, said his team hurt itself with 18 penalties for 224 yards.

“I think our decision-making was the thing that was probably the biggest critical factor,” he said.

“We took way too many undisciplined penalties.

“There were a whole lot of plays out there we failed to make that were due to a lack of discipline.”

Edmonton came in off an impressive 24-0 win over Saskatchewan last weekend. The defence had six sacks, forced two turnovers and allowed just 204 total yards while offensive the Eskimos ran for 299 yards, with John White recording 192 yards and Reilly finishing with 106.

Kings settle for tie after losing lead against Concordia

RDC Kings forward Jordan McTaggert (32), battles with Concordia Thunder defenceman Ryley Rimmer during ACAC action on Saturday in Penhold. The two teams tied 3-3.

Kings 3, Lightning 3 PENHOLD — The Red Deer College Kings took a big step forward on Friday, but the troubling part was the two steps they took backwards on Saturday.

The second-year Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s hockey team beat the Concordia Thunder 8-0 on Friday in Edmonton, but blew a two-goal lead in the return match on Saturday in Penhold, settling for a 3-3 tie.

The tie dropped RDC to 1-2-0-1 to open the season after getting swept by the Augustana Vikings (2-2-0-0) on the opening week.

The frustration was evident for Kings head coach Trevor Keeper following Saturday’s game.

“I’m not happy at all,” he said. “(Friday) night was the culmination of us playing well for a couple weekends in a row and we got rewarded for it. We had a good first period, we were doing the same things we were doing (Friday), but it is a little bit of human nature to take you foot off the gas pedal. Some guys started playing pond hockey and doing their own thing and that kind of spreads throughout the lineup.”

Clay Petrie scored twice on Friday

for RDC while Greg Lamoureux, Connor Hartley, Pat Martens, Joel Topping, Jeff Archibald and Shamus Graham added singles while Kraymer Barnstable stopped all 28 shots he faced in net.

On Saturday, Doug Jones, Tanner Butler and Riley Simpson tallied as the Kings built a 3-1 lead through 20 minutes. Barnstable stopped 17 of the 20 shots he faced.

Colin Minardi, Justin Moir and Jordon Hoffman replied for the Thunder (0-3-0-1) while Rhys Hadfield stopped 35 shots.

In the second period, RDC’s focus started to slip away, highlighted by Concordia’s second goal.

Barnstable went out of his net to play the puck, except his clearing pass landed on the stick of Moir who fired the puck into the gaping cage as the goalie tried to dive back in vain.

“Kraymer’s played really well for us ... he just came out and started over playing the puck, just like the rest of the guys trying to do their own thing and nobody knew what the next guy was going to do with it,” said Keeper.

Barnstable has played all four regular season games this year with fellow goalie Mike Salmon out with a groin/ hip injury. Salmon is expected back on the ice for next weekend.

Preparation begins for Queen’s volleyball team TEAM SPLIT FOR WILD ROSE CLASSIC PRESEASON TOURNAMENT ON WEEKEND

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF

Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

Red Deer College Queen Kelsey Tymkow blocks a shot by a College of the Rockies Avalanche player during the first game of the Queens weekend volleyball tournament in Red Deer.

Alumni 2, Queens 1 The Red Deer College Queens Alumni showed the current members of the women’s volleyball team that they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.

The Alumni knocked off both of the Queens split squad teams at the iHotel Wild Rose Classic on the weekend — RDC 1 (25-15, 25-17) in Saturday’s quarter-final and RDC 2 (25-14, 17-25, 15-10) in Sunday’s gold medal match.

“It’s that whole culture of what it is to be a Queen,” said RDC head coach Talbot Walton. “They come back and they played their hearts out and hopefully we as our current team members, see that and understand that that culture of Queens volleyball is really important to our success.”

Still Talbot was pleased with what he saw out of his current crop of players, believing that if RDC 1 had not lost in the quarter-final, they too could have been playing for a medal on Sunday. Instead they followed up the loss to the alumni with a loss to the NAIT Ooks in the consolation semifinal, dropping them to the seventh place game. They finished first in their pool in the round robin portion of the tournament.

This tournament was all about evaluating players and preparing for the up coming Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference season, which begins Oct. 17 for the Queens at the Lethbridge College Kodiaks.

The Queens randomly split their roster to two seven-player teams so everyone saw a lot of floor time, and a several players really grabbed the opportunity.

“I thought Leah Koot had a really good game, I thought she showed some promise as an outside hitter who can pass and find ways to score,” said Walton. “I thought Alex (Donaghy) had a very strong weekend as well.

Both (Madelyn Quinn) and (Bronwyn Hawkes) did what we expected them to do, provide leadership and make big plays when we needed them to make

big plays.”

The biggest thing heading into the season is to refine their systems play and sharpen their overall game.

“Our offence is the one thing we really have to continue to work hard at,” said Walton.

“I think we serve and pass alright, it’s just our hitting decisions and setting decisions at certain times would be really helpful for us in helping us generating more kills and opportunity for swings where we can score instead of forcing ourselves into hitting continuation type shots.”

Cross-country running Former RDC athlete and Canadian college champion Jodi Nesbitt placed second in the women’s open class of the Alberta Colleges Athletics Conference Grand Prix #4 cross-country running meet Saturday at Calgary.

Nesbitt covered the five-kilometre course in 19 minutes, 30 seconds. Winner Jessica O’Connell posted a time of 18:48.

Jordanna Cota was the top RDC runner, placing 26th overall — 13th among ACAC competitors — in 22:13. Anna Duda finished 49th overall in 24:40, while Laura Friesen was 53rd in 25:22, Samantha Debree was 55th in 25:33 and Melissa Ray finished 75th in 30:01.

Stephanie Flieler, who along with Nesbitt and Courntye Long coach the RDC women’s team, was 20th in the open category with a clocking of 21:56.

RDC finished sixth in the team standings.

In the men’s category, RDC runner Noah Arychuk placed 22nd overall and seventh among ACAC entries with a time of 30:04 over the eight km course.

Other RDC runners included Andrew Jacobs (39th overall in 32:16), Lucas Plamondon (52nd in 34:42), Carter Weber (64th in 38:20) and Jonathan Allan (65th in 3(:12).

The RDC men’s team, missing two top competitors in Mitch Dore and Austin Midkiff, placed sixth. Both are expected to return to the squad for the ACAC championships Oct. 25 at Fort McMurray. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Flames can’t stop Jets’ top scoring line in preseason finale Jets 4 Flames 1 WINNIPEG — Simple is good.

Forward Blake Wheeler and coach Paul Maurice were both happy with what could be the Winnipeg Jets’ top line this season after delivering big time Saturday night by closing the preseason with a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames.

It was the first time the Jets have iced anything close to what will be their regular-season lineup and it was also the first time the Wheeler, Mark Scheifele, Evander Kane line has had serious success, scoring or assisting on three of those four goals.

“It wasn’t really instant,” said Wheeler of the line’s progress in camp.

“It took us a few games, a few practices, more than anything just getting on the same page, having a little dialogue, just trying to establish an identity.”

Despite their obvious skill with the puck, Wheeler says that identity is more focused on the power they can

RDC: Good hockey sense The Thunder tied it up at 5:39 of the third period on a three-on-two as Barnstable slid over to make the initial save but Hoffman popped in the rebound.

One of the positives to draw out of the weekend was the play of Petrie.

His two goals on Friday were his first two of the season and his line helped kick start the club’s biggest offensive showing since training camp opened.

“He’s very evasive, he’s hard to control when he has the puck, he has good vision and good hockey sense, and when he wants to he works really hard defensively too,” said Keeper of his five-foot-eight centreman.

The second-year forward is a Red Deer native, but after playing with the Midget AAA Optimist Chiefs in 20092010, he spent the next three years playing for the Cowichan Valley Capitals of the B.C. Hockey League and the Calgary Canucks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

The opportunity to play at home was one he could not turn down.

“I was excited to come back to Red Deer,” said Petrie. “After being away for a few years, it sucks (moving) back home with the parents, but it feels good to come back and school is important.”

In his first season with the Kings he scored 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) in 27 games. He is playing with two wingers he has already found a lot of chemistry with Jones and Riley Point.

“I love my line. I want us to keep going,” said Petrie. “We did struggle the first couple of games, but with the talent we have we’re going to rock and roll.”

Up next for the Kings is a trip to Caronport, Sask., to play the Briercrest Clippers (0-4-0-0) on Friday and Saturday. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

generate than fancy moves.

“The expectation is the final result, you know, getting the puck into the net, but there’s a way that we’re going to do it to be successful, and it’s not going to be a cute thing, it’s not going to be a pretty thing.

“We’re a big powerful line and we need to approach the game that way and play the game that way and I think we did a better job of that tonight and you could see the results.”

Wheeler redirected defenceman Paul Postma’s blast from the point to scored first, then made it tough for Flames’ netminder Jonas Hiller to see the second — from defenceman Jacob Trouba off a feed from Kane.

Kane then made it 3-1 just over two minutes into the third off a feed from Scheifele — the third member of a line Maurice is hoping, perhaps more than anything, will finally exploit Kane’s full potential.

Wheeler is already successful, coming off career and team-scoring highs in 2013-14.

The coach had reason to smile after the game.

“It was the start of good things,” he said “They haven’t spent a lot of time together at camp, again with some minor injuries, but I thought that they played a simpler game, which made them faster, a little more shot-oriented game.

I’m glad that they got a little glimpse of what they can do.”

It was the first goal for Wheeler, Trouba and Kane in the pre-season.

Bryan Little finished things off with a short-handed empty-net goal at 18:20 of the third.

David Jones scored the only goal for the Flames (5-4-0), who featured their youngsters as they beat the Jets (minus a few starters) 4-2 in Calgary on Thursday. The Jets finished the pre-season at 3-4-0.

Winnipeg generated almost all the offence in the opening minutes, despite giving up some early power plays, and Calgary’s failure to capitalize was critical, said Flames coach Bob Hartley.

“We didn’t get much of a sniff and that’s where you generate momentum,” he said. “You get those power plays

early in the game and you don’t take advantage of them, you know it’s going to come back.”

He said overall, he’s satisfied with what the Flames accomplished in training camp, despite being outplayed by the Jets Saturday.

“They (the Jets) played well. They’re a big team. They can skate, so time and space was tough to get tonight. Some guys battled, other guys I would have liked to battle harder, but that’s our business.”

Jones, just back on the ice after a tripping penalty, was the only Calgary player who managed to get the puck past Ondrej Pavelec and the more effective Winnipeg defence Maurice has spent much of camp developing.

They limited the Flames to just five shots in each of the first two periods.

Jones pulled the puck out a scramble behind the Winnipeg net to slip it between Pavelec and his goalpost.

“I lost it,” Pavelec admitted. “I thought the guys had it between their legs or under their feet. I just lost the puck for a second and they put it in. It was a bad goal.”

CFL: Executed well But on Saturday, the CFL’s secondranked rushing attack (139.6 yards per game) managed just 58 yards against Toronto — which ran for 146 yards.

“The run was the first thing we had to stop,” Toronto defensive lineman Tristan Okpalaugo said. “When you’re up, they have to go to the pass and a defence loves when that happens.”

Reilly was 24-of-32 passing for 272 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He was also Edmonton’s rushing leader with 36 yards on four carries as White finished with 17 yards on six attempts.

“They played a good football game . . . they had a good game plan, their guys executed it really well,” Reilly said. “But when we were executing our plays we were moving the ball extremely well.

“We weren’t able to establish the run and weren’t able to take advantage of the pressures they were bringing.”

Toronto improved to 4-6 against West Division teams and 1-7 when trailing at halftime.

Edmonton fell to 6-2 against East Division squads. Jones suffered the loss in his return to Toronto, where he served as Argos defensive co-ordinator in 2012-’13.

Waters also had two converts.

Reilly had Edmonton’s other TD. Hugh O’Neill kicked three converts and a field goal.

Lawrence and Reilly scored touchdowns less than two minutes apart in the second quarter and Dexter McCoil registered a timely interception to earn Edmonton a 21-20 half-time advantage.

Reilly scored on a 23-yard TD run at 9:18, then found Lawrence on a 15-yard scoring strike to put Edmonton ahead 21-20. Lawrence’s score was set up by Deon Lacey’s recovery of Robert Gill’s kickoff return fumble at the Toronto 36-yard line.

The Argos’ responded with a smartlooking drive to the Edmonton 18 when Ray threw into the end zone looking for Owens. But McCoil intercepted and returned to the Eskimos’ 25-yard line with 1:14 remaining.

Oilers fall in preseason finale to Canucks Canucks 3 Oilers 2 VANCOUVER — If the Canucks preseason is any indication, winger Radim Vrbata will be fitting in nicely on a line with new teammates Daniel and Henrik Sedin.

Vrbata scored the eventual winner and Henrik Sedin had two assists Saturday as Vancouver closed out their pre-season with a 3-2 victory against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Arena.

It was the 33-year-old veteran’s third goal of the pre-season as he looks to gel with his new Canucks teammates after coming to Vancouver as a free agent this summer. He’s filling some big shoes with the departure of former Sedin linemate Ryan Kesler, but so far so good.

“For me to get to know new guys, new staff and new system ... from that standpoint I think it’s worked out fine,” said Vrbata. “Hopefully we can carry that over to the regular season.”

Chris Higgins and Daniel Sedin also scored for the Canucks, who finished their pre-season 5-2-0, including a 2-1 victory last Thursday in Edmonton.

Starting goalie Ryan Miller went the distance with 27 saves as he also prepares for his first season in Vancouver.

Nail Yakupov and Will Acton replied for the Oilers (4-4-0), who wrapped their pre-season by icing a young lineup of prospects and were without stars like Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and David Perron.

Henrik Sedin, who finished the preseason with six assists in four games, says he’s feeling plenty of optimism heading into Vancouver’s opener on Wednesday in Calgary.

“It’s been everything you can ask for — a new line mate, our power play feels good, you’re confident every time you step on the ice,” said Henrik Sedin.

“We feel we can create on any given shift. There’s still a few things to work on but overall I’m really happy.”

The Canucks, starting a more expe-

rienced lineup, jumped on the Oilers early as Alex Burrows fired a long pass to the speedy Higgins, who smoothly collected the puck and shovelled it over Ben Scrivens’s left shoulder 1:19 into the first. It was Vancouver’s first shot of the game.

Just over two minutes later Henrik Sedin found his twin brother behind the net and Daniel banked it in off Scrivens’s back for a 2-0 lead. Vancouver finished the opening period looking firmly in control with an 8-3 shot advantage.

Edmonton got back in it at 5:07 of the second when Canucks defenceman Luca Sbisa turned it over in his zone and Yakupov took advantage with a blazing wrist shot that beat Miller.

The Canucks restored their two-goal lead at 11:33 of the second as Vrbata, with a crowd in front of Scrivens, found the loose puck and squeaked it through the goalie’s legs for his third goal of the pre-season.

“I’m not going to lie — it was lucky that it went through,” said Vrbata. “We were buzzing around that shift. This was a lucky one to go in.”

Edmonton cut the deficit back down to one goal again near the end of the second as Lander dished it to Acton at the face-off circle and the centre slapped it past Miller at 18:03.

The Oilers had a chance to tie it early in the third when Leon Draisaitl got his cage rattled by Alex Edler resulting in an elbowing penalty to the Canucks defenceman. Edmonton couldn’t capitalize, however, and finished the game with a 29-18 shots-on-goal advantage.

“We want a better results than that,” said Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins.

“We had some chances to score late and we couldn’t get it in the net. We have to get better at burying those chances when the game is on the line.”

Scrivens finished with 15 saves.

The Oilers were using their last preseason game to get another look at a number of their young talent, including Edmonton’s third overall pick in this year’s draft Draisaitl, centre Bogdan

Yakimov, and top blue-line prospects Darnell Nurse and Oscar Klefbom.

Eakins says he knows he’s got some hard decisions to make ahead of the team opener against Calgary on Thursday.

“Every game, every day of the training camp is an important one,” said

Eakins. “You need to be great today, we tell these guys, and that’s all you have to worry about.”

Draisaitl had a golden scoring chance in the second, going one-on-one with Miller, but the veteran netminder made a solid glove save to deny the youngster.

Orioles complete sweep over Tigers REACH AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1997

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Nelson Cruz hits a two-run home run in the sixth inning in Game 3 of baseball’s AL Division Series against the Detroit Tigers, Sunday, in Detroit.

Logano wins at Kansas to advance into third round of NASCAR’s Chase

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Kan. — So many drivers studied NASCAR’s new championship Chase format and singled out the second round as the one they feared the most.

The difficult three-race stretch of Kansas, Charlotte and Talladega will knock four drivers from the field, and none wanted their championship hopes to be dependent on a good day at Talladega. It meant they had to be solid in the opener of the second round at Kansas Speedway, a notorious track for whittling the field of championship contenders.

Kansas lived up to its reputation Sunday as four Chase drivers finished 22nd or worse in a race that was plagued by tire problems for several contenders. The victory went to Joey Logano, who earned an automatic berth into the third round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship and can breathe easier the next two races.

“This is nice to get this win and get us through to the next round and not have to worry about Talladega,” Logano said.

“We came into here thinking we need a solid finish — we can’t win the championship (at Kansas) but we can definitely lose it.”

That was the harsh reality for sixtime and defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammates, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne, and Logano’s Team Penske teammate, Brad Keselowski.

Johnson was wrecked early and finished 40th, Earnhardt had a tire problem while leading that caused him to wreck and finish 39th. Keselowski was 36th after his tire problem and Kahne thought a tire issue caused him to hit the wall and finish 22nd.

Johnson was level-headed as he spoke from the garage while his crew tried furiously to repair the damage.

“It just means we’ve got to be on our game at Charlotte and Talladega,” Johnson said.

“We’ll see how the other Chasers fare. If I can get taken out today, somebody else can later in this event or at Charlotte. Certainly need W’s, I would assume, going forward.”

Earnhardt, who led 45 laps, was encouraged by his best performance so far in this Chase even if he didn’t have the result to show for his effort.

“Just the whole surface of the tire unwound like a string. It just came off the tire and it popped off the corner,” Earnhardt said.

“Man, that was a great race car. We hadn’t been running very good the last several weeks.”

Orioles 2 Tigers 1 DETROIT — A runaway title in a division of behemoths, then an unexpected sweep against a trio of Cy Young winners.

For Nelson Cruz, Buck Showalter and this unheralded bunch from Baltimore, the question now is: What’s next?

Cruz sliced a two-run homer for his latest big post-season hit, and the Orioles held off the Detroit Tigers 2-1 Sunday to reach the AL Championship Series for the first time since 1997.

Bud Norris outpitched David Price in Game 3 of the AL Division Series.

The Tigers scored in the ninth inning and put the tying run on second with no outs, but Orioles closer Zach Britton escaped the jam to lift Showalter into his first LCS in 16 seasons as a big league manager.

“This is fun to watch. Believe me, I’m happier than you can imagine,” Showalter said. “But most of it comes from getting to see the players get what they’ve put into it.”

Baltimore opens the ALCS on Friday at home against Kansas City or at the Los Angeles Angels.

“We’ve got a lot to go and we’re grinding,” outfielder Adam Jones said.

“If we play as a team, we can do anything.”

So often an afterthought in the rugged AL East, the Orioles won their first division title since 1997 this year, dispatching the second-place New York Yankees by 12 games — and last-place Boston by more than double that margin. That put Baltimore up against another of the game’s most star-laden rosters, and Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander and the Tigers couldn’t manage a single win.

Cruz’s homer Sunday was his 16th in post-season play, including eight against the Tigers. He was the MVP of the 2011 ALCS for Texas in a six-game

victory over Detroit.

Cruz spent much of this past offseason without a team after serving a 50-game suspension last year for violating baseball’s drug agreement.

“He knows things were self-inflicted,” Showalter said. “He really wanted to re-establish himself, and we thought that we could provide a real good opportunity for him, and the sky might be the limit.”

Norris pitched two-hit ball for 6 1-3 innings, and Andrew Miller got five straight outs to keep the shutout going.

Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez opened the ninth with back-to-back doubles off Britton. Bryan Holaday struck out after a failed bunt attempt, and Showalter made the unconventional decision to put the winning run on base by intentionally walking Nick Castellanos.

That meant the bottom of Detroit’s lineup would have to come through.

The Tigers sent up Hernan Perez — who had five at-bats in the regular season — to pinch hit, and he bounced a 96 mph fastball into a 5-4-3 double play. It was Britton’s second save of the series.

Cruz led the majors with 40 homers this season, and the Orioles topped baseball with 211. It was his two-run homer in the first inning of the opener that set the series’ tone, and he came through again in the sixth inning against Price. Cruz’s drive cleared the wall in right, about 2 feet to the left of the foul pole. Not bad for a guy the Orioles signed in late February. Cruz turned down a $14.1 million qualifying offer that would have kept him with Texas — but he ended up having to settle for an $8 million, one-year contract with Baltimore that included $750,000 in roster bonuses.

Cruz’s powerful bat enabled the Orioles to withstand season-ending injuries to Manny Machado and Matt Wieters, as well as Chris Davis’ 25-game suspension for an amphetamine violation.

Royals send Angels packing COMPLETE SWEEP TO FACE ORIOLES IN ALCS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Royals 8 Angels 3 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Almost an hour had passed, and the postgame party had moved from the field to the Kansas City clubhouse, where victory champagne was once again flowing.

Yet as sheets of rain fell at Kauffman Stadium, thousands of celebrating Royals fans refused to leave.

They had waited 29 years to soak in moments like these.

“This is a special time in the city right now and they’re enjoying this as much as we are,” winning pitcher James Shields said. “This is the best atmosphere I’ve ever been a part of.”

Alex Gordon hit a bases-clearing double in the first inning, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas each homered and the wild-card Royals finished off a three-game sweep of the mighty Los Angeles Angels with an emphatic 8-3 victory Sunday night in the AL Division Series.

The scrappy team with the unorthodox manager, popgun offence, dynamic defence and lights-out bullpen will open the AL Championship Series against the Orioles beginning Friday night in Baltimore. Kansas City went 4-3 against the O’s this year.

“I’ve never seen this group of kids so confident on the big stage,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “It’s really fun to see their development and watch them come into the post-season and just really take their game to the next level.”

The power-hitting Angels, 98-64 in the regular season, became the second team in the divisional era that began in

1969 to have the best record in the majors and get swept out of the playoffs, STATS said. In no small coincidence, the Royals dealt the same humiliating fate to the New York Yankees in the 1980 ALCS. Stalking around the mound amid an electric atmosphere, Shields lived up to his “Big Game James” billing. The Royals’ ace gave up homers to Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, but otherwise held in check a suddenly punchless Los Angeles lineup Shields was helped, too, by diving grabs by centre fielder Lorenzo Cain on back-to-back plays. All told, the highest-scoring team in baseball managed six runs in the entire series.

“Anything happens in the playoffs,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.

“You don’t go in with any badge saying you won the most games, and you’re certainly not going to get any points for that going into the playoffs.”

Kansas City showcased great glovework in every game, especially by its fleet outfielders. In this one, Cain’s catches in the fifth inning preserved a five-run lead.

The Royals coasted the rest of the way to their seventh straight post-season victory dating to Game 5 of the 1985 World Series, the last time they were in the playoffs. George Brett, the star of that team, watched from an upstairs suite and raised his arms when ace closer Greg Holland fanned Trout for the final out.

“We feel like we belong,” Cain said, “that we can play with anyone.”

The Royals are certainly proving it.

Kansas City played a 12-inning thriller against Oakland in the wildcard game, and a pair of 11-inning

games in Los Angeles before returning home to a raucous, adoring crowd.

Trout staked his team to a firstinning lead, but Angels starter C.J. Wilson quickly got into trouble. The left-hander with the $16 million price tag this season gave up consecutive singles and a four-pitch walk in the bottom half to load the bases for Gordon, whose slicing two-out double gave Kansas City a 3-1 lead.

Sensing the game already slipping away, Scioscia immediately marched to the mound and turned the game over to his bullpen. It didn’t fare a whole lot better.

The Royals kept the pressure on, and even plodding designated hitter Billy Butler got in on the act, stealing second base to another roar. It was his fifth career steal and first in two years, but it typified the way the Royals have been winning this post-season.

Dazzling pitching, daring baserunning and some dogged determination.

“They were just up there trying to put the ball in play,” Wilson said.

“Then they went into damage mode and started swinging for homers.

They’re hot right now. That’s what happens.”

After swiping seven bases and playing small-ball against the A’s, the club that hit the fewest homers in the regular season pounded out four long balls against Los Angeles.

Moustakas hit the first of them in the 11th inning of the opener, Hosmer hit the second in the 11th inning the next night, and both of them went deep to finish off the sweep.

Hosmer’s two-run shot came in the third inning. Moustakas connected in the fourth.

Brady leads Patriots to rebound win over Bengals NFL

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Patriots 43 Bengals 17 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — What a turnaround for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Brady finally looked like a quarterback who has 50,000 yards in his career, becoming the sixth to reach that milestone and throwing for two touchdowns as he rebounded from the second worst loss of his career for a 4317 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night.

Six days after a 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs unleashed criticism from Patriots doubters, the offence broke out of its season-long slump.

Brady threw for 292 yards and Stevan Ridley had 117 of the team’s 221 yards rushing against a team that had allowed an NFL-low 11 points per game.

The Patriots (3-2) surpassed that by scoring on their first two possessions on Ridley’s 1-yard run and Brady’s 17-yard pass to Tim Wright. They led 20-3 at halftime before the Bengals (31) cut it to 10 points on Andy Dalton’s 37-yard pass to Mohamed Sanu.

But Cincinnati came no closer and became the last team to lose a game this season. The Arizona Cardinals also began the day at 3-0, but lost to the Denver Broncos.

The Bengals were coming off a bye

and had trailed for just 48 seconds in their first three games. But they never led Sunday as Ridley scored just 4:57 into the game.

Stephen Gostkowski added five field goals, the most in his nine-year career.

Brady hadn’t thrown for more than 249 yards this season but topped that as he completed 23 of 35 passes. His 27-yard completion to Rob Gronkowski put him over the 50,000-yard mark and he connected for Wright’s touchdown on the next play.

The fans then chanted “Bra-dee!

Bra-dee!” They shouted it again when the Patriots began a drive early in the second quarter.

Brady boosted his total to 50,232.

John Elway is fifth with 51,475.

“It was a long week. We dug deep.

(I’m) proud of everybody,” Brady said.

Dalton was 15 of 24 for 204 yards and was sacked for the first time this season when Chris Jones tackled him 3 minutes into the fourth quarter. Dalton’s second touchdown pass, a 17-yarder to A.J. Green made it 34-17.

But the Bengals lost three fumbles and failed to convert their seven thirddown plays.

“If you turn the ball over and don’t make any third downs, you have a chance to have this happen to you,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said.

The Patriots were surrounded by doubters after the rout in Kansas City.

Was Brady no longer one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks? Did he have enough talented players around him — a re-

For one night, at least, he did.

“We don’t sit around listening to what everybody else says,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “We try to do the best we can.”

Brady was sacked just once and completed his first two passes, 20 yards to Brandon LaFell and 30 yards to Wright, who had his best game since being acquired from Tampa Bay just before the season for six-time Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins.

‘We can fix this problem’ ALBERTA WOMEN OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA TACKLE CHILD HUNGER

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF The Alberta Women of The United Church of Canada are determined to find a made-in-Alberta solution to feed students who are going hungry.

On Saturday they decided nothing less than a universal program would do and the provincial government has to play a role.

“It needs to be offered around the whole province and it needs to be offered to anybody. There shouldn’t be a means test,” said one of the organizers Carolyn Pogue about the recommendations that came out of the Feed the Children conference at Gaetz United Church.

“We are a very rich province. We are a very smart province and we can fix this problem. The Northwest Territories is dealing with this. Ontario is way ahead and Nova Scotia is way ahead of us, so let’s get moving.”

About 80 people from across the province came together on Saturday to discuss ways to end hunger in the classroom as part of The Child Wellbeing Initiative, formed about seven years ago by a group of women with the United Church.

Bill Moore-Kilgannon, executive director of Public Interest Alberta, said municipalities haven’t seen an provincial increase to the Family Community Support Services budget since 2009 which helps fund local social programs like poverty prevention. To meet

Volunteers needed for saskatoon berry project The Alberta Conservation Association is looking for volunteers to help plant saskatoon berry saplings in Central Alberta.

The date has not been scheduled yet but it’s expected to be quite soon.

Cooler weather is needed and at least 70 per cent of the leaves have to fall from the young trees before they can be pulled from the ground and sent for replanting.

The plants are being provided by The Saskatoon Farm near Okotoks.

ACA senior technician Andy Murphy said they are planning to put saskatoon whips (young tree seedlings) into the ground at three conservation sites. The three places are the Schroeder Conservation Site, 25 km southeast of Red Deer; Beltz Lake, 29 km southeast of Stettler; and Link (Buffalo Meadows Habitat Link), 24 km southeast of Bashaw, on the east side of Buffalo Lake.

Saskatoon bushes provide berries, as well as nesting sites and shelter to wildlife. Volunteers can contact Murphy by email at Andy.Murphy@ab-conservation.com. For more information on the planting, go to the ACA Facebook page Alberta Conservation Association. For information on specific sites such directions and location, go to www.ab-conservation.com and click on “Discover Guide,” then select “Find A Site.”

its commitment to fund 80 per cent of FCSS costs, the province needs to contribute $25 million more to bring it up to $100 million.

Coincidently in 2009, the province created a $200-metre subsidy for the oil drilling sector because of the downturn in the economy, he said.

“They spent in two years $2.6 billion to subsidize the drilling industry,” Moore-Kilgannon, a panelist at the Feed the Children one-day conference.

Supporting children comes down to choice and mobilization, he said.

“The funding is there. We have the capacity to do it,” he said.

MLA David Swann, Liberal critic for health and human services, said for years government leadership has been lacking when it comes to eliminating poverty and he doesn’t have any confidence things will change with new Progressive Conservative Premier Jim Prentice.

But the citizens of Alberta can put a stop to that with their votes, he said. “(Government) makes priorities when citizens tell them in no uncertain terms if they don’t make it a priority, they’re not going to be there . . . . in the next election. And that people are going to be actively organizing so they don’t get elected next time,” said Swann who attended Saturday’s conference.

He said the conservative government is set in its “pull up your socks” mindset when it comes to poverty.

“I define poverty as a form of violence. And when we start thinking

Bill Moore-Kilgannon, Executive Director of Public Interest Alberta, Edmonton, speaks during the Feed the Children: Ending Hunger in Alberta conference on Saturday afternoon at the Gaetz United Church. about poverty as a form violence, we stop thinking about blaming the victim and we start thinking about our collective responsibility,” said the MLA for Calgary-Mountain View.

Red Deer North MLA Mary Anne Jablonski said according to the 2013 PIA report, From Words to Action, there has been a decline in child poverty over the years.

“There is good news. We have managed to reduce child poverty,” said Jablonski who also attended the con-

ference.

“I think there is political will for sure. None of us can feel good about being successful in Alberta when there are people who are hungry, especially children.”

It’s not just an issue for government, it requires a community effort, she said.

“Working together, I think we can solve this problem.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Brothers want to recreate opera house DELBURNE

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A pair of Delburne-raised brothers are gauging local support for resurrecting a local opera house lost to fire in the 1990s.

The two-storey wood-frame building with a typical Western-style false front was built in 1918 and was a community gathering place from the days of dance halls and vaudeville.

James and Jason Reckseidler see a lot of potential in recreating the opera house with a few modern twists as part of a community rejuvenation effort.

“Ideally we’d like to put the original blueprint up and have it look like it used to,” said James.

Now owner of a Calgary-based film and video company Reckseidler Films, James still has close ties to the community he grew up in and where his father Ray is mayor.

James believes a modern take on the village’s old opera house could once again bring music and dancing back to the main street. The building would also be designed to suit other community events.

James said the opera house idea is still in its early planning stages.

The Reckseidlers posted a sign on the now empty site of the opera house to get some community feedback and see how much fundraising interest there is.

So far, reaction has been pretty pos-

His vision goes beyond the opera house.

An old building on a nearby lot has potential to be transformed into a cafe or a craft brewery, to further draw residents from surrounding areas and communities.

He could see buying the building and developing that first and using it to generate interest in the larger opera

house project.

The lot the opera house stood on and two adjacent vacant lots are town owned but could be purchased for the project.

The brothers come by their interest in the old music venue naturally.

The Reckseidlers are a family of musicians and James and Jason are in band called Reijo.

Most are shopping outside of Lacombe

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR

RETAIL SURVEY

The vast majority of consumers who live in and around Lacombe do much of their shopping elsewhere, based on the results of a retail survey conducted by the city.

The survey, which took place between June and August, indicated that 95.4 per cent of respondents buy their clothing and accessories primarily outside of Lacombe. In the case of furniture and home appliances, the percentage of people who do most of their shopping out of town was 89.4 per cent; and when it comes to purchases from sporting goods, hobby, book and music stores, the figure was 86.2 per cent. The rate for electronics and appliances was 80.4 per cent.

At the other end of the spectrum, only 25.4 per cent of survey respondents said they usually go elsewhere for groceries; with 34.4 per cent leaving town for health and personal care purchases.

Approximately half shop outside of Lacombe when it comes to motor vehicles and parts (48.8 per

cent), and building materials and garden equipment (50.9 per cent). In the case of restaurant purchases, 53.9 per cent of respondents said they spend their money mainly outside of the city.

The survey revealed that 86.7 per cent of respondents who shop elsewhere are motivated by greater selection. A lack of local parking in Lacombe was cited by 9.4 per cent as their impetus for leaving the city.

“The results will help the city better understand future demand for commercial land based on current patterns and future growth,” said Lyla Peter, Lacombe’s planning and development manager.

Peter said she was pleased with the 1,016 responses collected, which included online and written feedback. Twenty-two per cent of these came from people living outside Lacombe.

Other findings from the survey included that 64 per cent of respondents spend more than $500 per month on retail items and groceries, and 17 per cent

spend more than $500 per month in Lacombe.

Sixty-one per cent of those who completed the survey were between the ages of 31 and 55. Those 31 to 39 were found to have the highest average monthly spending.

Peter said businesses can review the findings, which are available online at www.lacombe.ca/retailsurvey, and use them to assist with their planning.

The results will also be considered by the city as it updates Lacombe’s municipal development plan.

Members of the public are invited to provide input into that plan at an open house this Tuesday from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Lacombe Memorial Centre.

Housing, industrial and commercial development, green spaces, parks, trails, transportation networks, stormwater ponds, heritage and the downtown are among the issues being considered in the updated the plan.

Public feedback is also being accepted through an online survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/LacombeMDPupdate. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Encore shaking up regional flying PREPARES FOR EAST AND U.S. EXPANSION WESTJET ENCORE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — WestJet Encore is shaking up Canada’s regional airline market, pressuring rivals to cut fares and lower costs as it prepares to expand its presence in Eastern Canada and enter the United States.

Launched more than a year ago, the Calgary-based carrier claims to be “liberating Canadians from the high cost of air travel” and stimulating demand.

“I think we’ve woken the competition up absolutely,” said Encore president Ferio Pugliese.

Encore hopes to double its fleet of 14 Bombardier Q400 turboprops by 2016 and is already adding to its nearly 100 flights per day to 18 destinations, mainly in Western Canada.

A route was recently added between Thunder Bay and Toronto. Eastern service will be introduced in the coming months to Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Fredericton and American destinations from both ends of Canada are set to be added by 2016.

At full maturity, Encore aims to increase its share of the Canadian regional market to more than 40 per cent, but declined to indicate its current share.

Air Canada (TSX:AC.B), as the country’s largest operator, and regional partner Jazz stand to feel the most heat.

Air Canada CEO Calin Rovinescu said he is not surprised by the impact of Encore on its routes and has deployed Q400s on some western routes ahead of time to increase flights and beat the competition.

He recently described Encore’s impact as “de minimis” but said (Air Canada’s) regional network must operate more competitively by lowering costs.

“With the roll out over the next several years, we certainly expect our regional partners to increase their competitiveness,” he told analysts during a conference call in August to discuss its second-quarter results.

Encore’s strategy is to target markets with populations of least 100,000 and drive at least half the passengers to WestJet’s mainline network as it expands overseas with widebody planes.

Pugliese said industry passenger traffic in markets like Nanaimo and Terrace, B.C., has increased 35 to 50 per cent since Encore launched service by driving a 30 to 40 per cent reduction in airfares.

Encore says traffic in Fort St. John, B.C., has quadrupled since it started service, while fares dropped 60 to 80 per cent. Fare reductions were 20 to 30 per cent in other new markets.”

“People otherwise not taking the plane are now using aircraft where otherwise they would have driven or not travelled.”

Airline analyst Robert Kokonis said Encore’s impact on Canadian aviation will intensify as it expands east.

“It’s going to be great for travellers because fares are going to go down but it will affect the bottom line of carriers like Porter,” said the president of airline consulting firm AirTrav.

WestJet Encore hopes to double its fleet of Bombardier Q400 aircraft by 2016. The company is already adding to its nearly 100 flights per day, mainly in Western Canada. at Toronto’s downtown airport, flies mainly in eastern Canada and the United States, but is also planning to expand its destinations west.

Kokonis said Air Canada is adjusting to the competition by leveraging its partnership with nonunionized Sky Regional, which shuttles passengers mainly between Porter’s hub at Toronto’s city airport and Montreal, to pressure Jazz to cut its costs.

Sky Regional, which started in 2011, later added Air Canada’s fleet of Embraer 175 jets to U.S. destinations.

Joseph Randell, CEO of Jazz parent company Chorus Aviation (TSX:CHR.B), acknowledges that the increased competition is putting more pressure on Jazz.

“As a large supplier in Canada we definitely feel the pressures to reduce our costs and we’re doing so and have plans to continue down that road,” he said in an interview.

The Halifax-based company expects to spend $25 million by year end on voluntary severance packages to reduce the number of senior and higher-paid pilots. It is also replacing smaller aircraft with Q400 turboprops. Over three years, 32 older 50-seat regional jets have been removed and replaced with 21 of its 74-seat turbos.

Randell said it can reduce costs even further

by continuing to replace aircraft and changing the structure of the agreement that governs its relationship with Air Canada to reward lowering costs.

But he said the company isn’t seeking to roll back pilot wages, which are higher at Jazz than startup airlines.

Capt. Dan Adamus, president of the Air Line Pilots Association Canada which represents 1,500 Jazz pilots, said it is prepared to work with employers, but salaries need to be “fair and equitable and commensurate with the responsibilities a pilot has.”

Once part of Air Canada’s operations, Jazz was spun off as a separate company in 2006.

It is the country’s dominant regional player, operating about 800 flights a day to more than 80 North American destinations with a fleet of 122 turbo and jet aircraft.

Canada’s regional airline sector is seen as more stable than the U.S., which faces intense pressure from ultra-low cost carriers like Spirit Airways and Allegiant.

The consolidation of six large U.S. airlines into three has also prompted an estimated 10 per cent reduction in regional flights as small airplanes were replaced with larger ones and large carriers rewrote contracts to cap the profit margins of their regional partners.

Making a financial plan for job loss No matter how you slice it, losing a job is one of the most emotionally and financially devastating things that can happen to you.

Regrettably, job loss is a reality of working life today.

If you are working, financial advisers recommend that you build up an emergency, high-interest bearing account that would cover six months of living expenses in the event your employment ends, for whatever reason. This can make the transition a lot less stressful and give you some time to find new or alternative employment without having to worry about where the TALBOT money to pay the bills is going BOGGS to come from.

If your employment does end, don’t panic. Job loss is a fact of life and you don’t want to make hasty financial decisions that may turn out poorly.

Don’t cash in your retirement plan, sell off longterm investments or move until you’ve worked out a realistic plan for dealing with your reduced income.

The Financial Planning Association recommends people file promptly for unemployment insurance and handle their severance package carefully. Don’t sign anything until you’ve had a chance to read it carefully or perhaps let a lawyer or financial profes-

MONEYWISE

sional review it first.

One of the first steps is to take a financial inventory. What are your assets, your debts, your severance and what are your job prospects? Go over everything and don’t make any decisions until you get some professional advice.

Start with your sources of income. What can you realistically count on in the coming months from all sources, such as severance pay, unemployment insurance, your emergency cash account, a working spouse’s income, or any temporary work or perhaps even renting out a room in your house or turning the basement into a rentable apartment.

Then list all your expenses in order of priority: mortgage or rent, utilities, food, insurance premiums, car payments, transportation, clothing and so on down to the least important discretionary items.

You may be able to reduce or eliminate some nonessential expenses.

You may want to set up a line of credit with your financial institution, which can give you some peace of mind at least knowing that you have access to credit if you absolutely need it.

Look at your debt situation. If you can, pay off the debt with the highest interest, such as credit cards, or consolidate or restructure all debt, including the mortgage.

It’s harder for the self-employed or unemployed to get a new mortgage or renew one than when you’re working for a company.

ment savings plan (RRSP). Some plans allow you to withdraw the benefits and convert them to an individual plan, although the premiums likely will be higher. The details should be spelled out in your severance package.

Generally avoid dipping into your retirement funds. Your job loss hopefully is only temporary, compared to your retirement funds, which are longterm.

Pulling money out of your RRSP has big tax consequences. Once you withdraw the money it is considered income and will be added to your total income and you are taxed on that as well.

Once you’ve withdrawn the money it is removed from the contribution room available to you and you cannot re-contribute it later. If you’ve got $30,000 contribution room and take out $15,000, you’re left with only $15,000 of contribution room.

However, you can pull funds out of your tax free savings account (TFSA) if you have been contributing to one and can put that money back in the next calendar year.

It’s important in a time of turmoil, like losing your job, not to make any rash decisions but to look at your situation and recognize that hopefully your lack of work is only temporary while your family, investments and retirement funds are long term.

Toronto-based thermostat company Ecobee faces off with Google

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Toronto-based company Ecobee beat a top Apple designer, Google, and industry giant Honeywell to what could potentially be a billiondollar idea.

Now, Ecobee has to prove it can execute on its plan better than its muchlarger rivals.

Back in 2009, Ecobee boasted it was the first company in the world to release a WiFi-connected thermostat, which could be remotely controlled via the web or a smartphone app.

It was early days for the technology — and the thermostat had an eyepopping $385 price tag — but with mobile connectivity rapidly taking off, the company seemed well positioned to take advantage of the booming trend.

But competitors weren’t far behind.

The next year, former Apple designer Tony Fadell — best known as one of the key figures behind the creation of the iPod — started a company called Nest Labs, which would also make a WiFi thermostat called Nest. He planned to up the ante by making Nest a beautiful object that homeowners would proudly display on their wall.

Nest quickly took off and suddenly became a very daunting rival. Nest Labs got even stronger earlier this year, when Google bought the company. And then this summer, old-school thermostat company Honeywell released a Nest-lookalike WiFi thermostat called Lyric.

But Ecobee co-CEO Stuart Lombard insists being David to a couple of Goliaths hasn’t been a bad thing.

“When Nest launched in 2010, maybe 18 months after we launched, it brought a lot of buzz to the category.

So Nest entering into the market has actually been a great boon to our business because people now understand what WiFi-connected thermostats are,” Lombard says.

“If you’re the only person in the market, odds are no one’s talking about it. The more people that get involved in the market, the more dynamic the

market is, the bigger the market is, and the more opportunity there is.

“So while Nest is obviously a formidable competitor, as is Honeywell, the market is growing at a fantastic rate.”

Ecobee’s latest thermostat, the Ecobee3 — which sells for $249 — has a similar look to the Nest and Lyric, although it’s more square than circular.

While it has a colour screen, the Ecobee3 largely uses a black and white interface, unlike the Nest which has a bold blue or red background depending on whether it’s controlling the air conditioner or furnace.

“This product, if you look at it, is very different from Nest.... Honeywell came out with a product recently that is very similar to the Nest, we’ve taken a very different approach,” Lombard says. “We tried to keep that minimalistic, sleek style of design so that it would fit with people’s decor, go with all kinds of different homes, and look modern.”

The biggest differentiator with the Ecobee3 is its ability to work with remote sensors. The thermostat comes with one sensor in the box, which can be placed anywhere in the home. Users can fine-tune their home’s temperature to the location of the sensor — for example, they can tell the Ecobee3 to keep running the air conditioner or furnace until their bedroom hits their magic number.

“The fact that it’s comfortable in your hallway doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s comfortable in the rooms you actually live in,” says Lombard, adding that additional sensors can be purchased in packs of two for $79.

While Ecobee has yet to make retail inroads like Nest Labs has, Lombard is confident the company can continue to grow and compete.

“Obviously Google has very deep pockets, Google has big ambitions and Google is willing to fund. So we don’t take them lightly,” he says. “But Nest and Google entering the business has only been a good thing for us because ultimately we believe we have better products and we can compete with anyone in the world.”

Markets set for more volatility

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

STOCK MARKET LOOK AHEAD

TORONTO — The Toronto stock market is in for another week of sharp volatility and likely losses after a stronger American dollar left a trail of damage including lower resource stocks and commodities and a badly-beaten-up Canadian dollar at multi-month lows. U.S. markets are also likely in for a tough week as earnings concerns add to existing worries about global economic performance and plans by the U.S. Federal Reserve to start removing some of the stimulus widely credited for sparking sharp gains on equity markets after the lows in early 2009.

North American markets finished the week in the red as energy and mining stocks led the way to a 1.6 per cent slide on the TSX, while New York’s Dow industrials dropped 0.6 per cent despite a strong employment report out at the end of the week that bolstered confidence in the American economy.

“There’s a whole laundry list of things that are irksome, but what is the main thing unnerving people?,” asked Andrew Pyle, senior wealth adviser and portfolio manager at ScotiaMcLeod in Peterborough, Ont. “I think it is this rapid rise in the value of the U.S. dollar, which has just gone ballistic in the last four weeks and is one of the main reasons why we see oil falling off the map, which again is one of the main reasons why the TSX is under performing.”

One of the big reasons for the greenback’s surge is the euro currency, which has fallen about 10 per cent against the U.S. dollar since mid-summer. It has weakened against a back-

drop of practically non-existent inflation, weak economic data and a vow from the European Central Bank to take action to get the eurozone out of a deep funk, including driving interest rates to near zero.

“The signal they wanted to send was that they were prepared to do anything and everything on the monetary side and the real objective was to push down the euro,” said Bob Gorman, chief portfolio strategist at TD Waterhouse. He observed that one of the most common characteristics of credit crises is countries attempting to reduce their currencies so they can increase exports and spur growth.

“So the real story here is that the euro is down about 10 per cent. The euro is the biggest part of the U.S. dollar index (so), automatically, the U.S. dollar goes up and, in turn, the U.S. dollar denominated commodities come down.”

The damage from the higher greenback for Canada has been significant: the loonie is below 89 cents for the first time since late March, oil is hovering around $90, down sharply from around $104 during the summer, and copper is at a six-month low at the $3 level. And the TSX mining and energy sectors are both down about 10 per cent over the last month. The TSX itself is still up 8.7 per cent year to date, off from recent highs of 14 per cent. Currency woes could also weigh on the batch of Q3 U.S. earnings that will start coming out this week as many of the big U.S. corporations make much of their profits from overseas markets.

WORLD BRIEF U.S. Navy develops new unmanned, selfguided patrol boats NORFOLK, Va. — The Navy says self-guided boats that are capable of swarming and destroying potential threats are fast becoming a reality.

The Office of Naval Research says it successfully demonstrated the autonomous swarm boat technology in August on the James River in southeast Virginia.

In the demonstrations, as many as 13 unmanned Navy boats escorted a high-value Navy ship, with some of those automatically swarming around a simulated threat.

The Navy says the new technology is installed in a kit on unmanned boats to deter, damage or destroy enemy vessels. Navy officials say the technology could help stop attacks like the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen.

Suicide bomber in Chechnya kills 5 police, wounds 12 on holiday GROZNY, Russia — A suicide bomber blew himself up Sunday in the capital of Chechnya, killing five policemen and wounding 12 others as the city celebrated the birthday of its pro-Kremlin leader, officials said.

The Chechen leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, told journalists at the scene that the suicide bomber was wearing a police uniform and presented police identification when he tried to go through metal detectors set up outside a concert hall in Grozny, the capital. When police moved to stop him, he detonated the explosives, Kadyrov said.

Several ambulances were seen leaving the site, which was blocked off by police.

The Investigative Committee, Russia’s leading federal investigative agency, said five policemen were killed and 12 wounded in the attack. No civilians were reported wounded.

The attacker was believed to be a 19-yearold resident of Chechnya, the agency said in a statement.

Injuries and death toll mounts as typhoon whips through Pacific

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TOKYO — A powerful typhoon lashed southern Japan on Sunday, churning up high waves that washed three American airmen out to sea and killed at least one before taking aim at Tokyo.

Elsewhere in the Pacific, a separate typhoon whipped the Mariana Islands, including Guam, with high winds and heavy rain.

By late Sunday, Typhoon Phanfone was off the coast of Shikoku in southwestern Japan, with winds of up to 144 kilometres (90 miles) per hour after hitting the regions of Okinawa and Kyushu, Japan’s Meteorological Agency said.

One of the three airmen was found dead. The other two were missing, according to the Air Force and the Japanese coast guard.

They had been on Okinawa island’s northern coast when they were overcome by the waves, according to Tsuguyoshi Miyagi of the coast guard’s Okinawa branch.

The Air Force said the search for the missing airmen had been interrupted by rough seas. Their names were being withheld pending notification of relatives.

Okinawa is home to about half of the roughly 50,000 American troops stationed in Japan.

Several people on Kyushu island were injured in the typhoon. The storm also grounded more than 100 flights Sunday

In Suzuka, in central Japan, a French driver was severely injured following an accident in the Japanese Grand Prix that had to be shortened because the heavy rain made conditions too dangerous. Formula One driver Jules Bianchi of the Marussia team went off the track at a turn and hit a recovery vehicle that was removing a car that had crashed earlier.

An unconscious Bianchi was taken to a nearby hospital where he underwent emergency surgery for a severe head injury. Race officials said he was

Typhoon Vongfong had maximum sustained winds estimated at 105 mph, said Roger Edson of the National Weather Service in Guam.

Winds on the islands of Guam, Tinian, Saipan were gusting to at least 55 mph, he said.

Residents on Guam heeded warnings about high winds and possible flooding by taking shelter at designated public schools.

The island government and many businesses were expected to be closed Monday, and most flights were cancelled.

in critical condition.

The storm triggered concern about possible landslides on the ash-covered volcano in central Japan that erupted Sept. 27 and killed at least 51 hikers.

The search for a dozen people missing in the eruption was suspended Sunday because of rain from the approaching storm.

The meteorological agency predicted that up to 40 centimetres (16 inches) of rain could fall in central Japan by Monday morning.

The eye of the typhoon in the Marianas was expected to pass over the small island of Rota,

DEPART RD ARENA OVERFLOW LOT EXCEPT FOR ** WHICH DEPART PARKING LOT SOUTH OF DENNY’S

IGUALA, Mexico — Security forces investigating the role of municipal police in clashes in a southern city have pulled burned several bodies from mass graves on the edge of town, a lawyer for the families of 43 missing students said Sunday.

Attorney Vidulfo Rosales said the remains were those of an undetermined number of people, and were unidentified.

Relatives of 37 of the missing young people have provided DNA samples over the past several days and will be used to determine if the recovered remains belong to any of the students, the attorney said.

The students have been missing since last week in violence that also resulted in six shooting deaths. Guerrero Gov. Angel Aguirre said on Saturday that the victims had been “savagely slaughtered.”

A group of protesters blocked a main highway in the state capital of Chilpancingo on Sunday demanding justice in the case.

Paul Revere, ’mad man of rock and roll’ leader of Raiders band, dies LOS ANGELES — Paul Revere, the organist and leader of the Raiders rock band, has died.

He was 76.

Manager Roger Hart says Revere died Saturday at his home. Revere, born Paul Revere Dick, became known as “the madman of rock and roll” for his theatrical colonial wardrobe and infectious stage persona with the band. The group launched its career in 1963 with a popular rendition of Richard Berry’s Louie, Louie before releasing its own hits like Kicks, Hungry and Good Thing.

Protesters remove some barricades BUT MANY OPPOSE PLAN TO SCALE BACK BLOCKADES IN HONG KONG Officials said they intended to have key streets open for schools and offices by Monday morning, but it was unclear whether they would act to clear the streets and other areas by force or just settle for a partial victory in clearing some roads. The government announced a reopening of schools and some roads, but indicated some disruptions were likely to continue.

“To restore order, we are determined, and we are confident we have the capability to take any necessary action,” police spokesman Steve Hui said. “There should not be any unreasonable, unnecessary obstruction by any members of the public.”

Television footage showed a man shaking hands with a police officer outside government headquarters and the two sides removing some barricades together. About 300 demonstrators stood by outside the government building’s main entrance, but then many sat back down and refused to leave. Later in the evening, some barriers along walkways into the building were moved out of the way.

“I’m against any kind of withdrawal or tendency to surrender,” said Do Chan, a protester in his 30s. “I think withdrawing, I mean shaking hands with the police, is a very ugly gesture of surrender.”

The situation remained volatile across the harbour in Hong Kong’s Mong Kok district, a shopping area where ugly confrontations broke out Friday and Saturday after opponents of the protesters tried to force them out. Many demonstrators heeded calls to head home or shift to the Admiralty area. A few hundred, however, appeared determined to stay. As the evening wore on, some sang songs and clapped, while groups of older men lingered nearby, smoking and drinking, as police stood watch.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HONG KONG — Hong Kong’s pro-democracy activists agreed Sunday to remove some barriers blocking roads and sidewalks ahead of the government’s deadline to scale back their protests. But the demonstrators appeared to be divided, and others refused to budge, with only hours to go.

An alliance of students said it had tried but so far failed to reach agreement with officials on a plan to begin talks on their demands for wider political reforms. The group vowed to continue protests until details of the talks might be worked out.

“If the government uses force to clear away protesters, there will be no room for dialogue,” Lester Shum, one of the group’s leaders, told reporters.

Earlier in the day, students occupying the area just outside city government headquarters agreed to remove some barricades that were blocking the building’s entrance, after the government said it would do whatever was necessary to ensure 3,000 civil servants would have full access to their offices on Monday.

The partial withdrawal appeared to be part of a strategy to regroup in another part of town, as protesters were urged to shift from other areas to Hong Kong’s Admiralty shopping and business district, a central location near the government’s main offices that has served as an informal headquarters for the protests.

Alex Chow, another student leader, said he was not worried about the crowd dwindling as people prepared to return to work and school on Monday.

“Because people need rest, but they will come out again.

It doesn’t mean the movement is diminishing. Many people still support it,” Chow said.

Pro-democracy protesters stage a rally on a occupied road in Mong Kok district, Hong Kong, Sunday. Pro-democracy protesters were defiant in the face of attacks by opponents and warnings by the Hong Kong government to clear the streets, staging a massive rally Saturday evening in the downtown business district they’ve occupied for a week.

“I don’t know what the next step is, but I will not retreat.

The people you see here will not retreat,” said Burnett Tung, an 18-year-old student who has served as a volunteer at a food-supply station outside government headquarters all week.

In Mong Kok late Sunday, police officers carrying guns patrolled the area, and at least one officer was seen carrying tear gas canisters.

“This is a public place.

People need to use this road.

People need to live here,” said Johnson Cheung, 26, who works in a duty-free shop.

“The students don’t need to make a living. Their parents pay for them. But we have jobs. We have to live.”

Tens of thousands of peo-

ple, many of them students, have poured into the streets of the semi-autonomous city since Sept. 28 to peacefully protest China’s restrictions on the first-ever direct election for Hong Kong’s leader, promised by Beijing for 2017.

The protests are the strongest challenge to authorities in Hong Kong — and in Beijing — since the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997.

China has promised that Hong Kong can have universal suffrage by 2017, but it says a committee of mostly pro-Beijing figures must screen candidates for the top job. The protesters also are demanding the resignation of Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chunying, the city’s current leader.

He has refused to step down.

With the standoff stretching into a second week, tempers flared and patience was waning among residents who oppose the occupation of the streets and the disruption it has brought.

Police said they had arrested 30 people since the start of the protests and that they used pepper spray overnight Saturday on crowds that had provoked officers with verbal abuse.

Protesters, meanwhile, complained the police were failing to protect them from attacks by mobs intent on driving them away. The students say police have allied themselves with criminal gangs to clear them, but the government has denied the accusation.

U.S. VP apologizes Incumbent Rousseff to face Neves in Brazilian election vote stunner to UAE prince over al-Qaida remarks

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

strong steps to counter extremists and participation in U.S.-led airstrikes.

On Saturday, Biden already called to apologize to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the White House said.

“The vice-president apologized for any implication that Turkey or other allies and partners in the region had intentionally supplied or facilitated the growth of ISIL or other violent extremists in Syria,” the White House said.

Biden’s comments on Thursday came during a questionand-answer session at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Biden said that “our biggest problem is our allies” who are engaged in a proxy Sunni-Shiite war against Syrian President Bashar Assad. He specifically named Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The UAE’s official news agency carried a statement from Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash calling Biden’s comments “far from the truth.” The UAE Foreign Ministry said it was astonished by the remarks.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Vice-President Joe Biden on Sunday called the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates to clarify that he did not mean to imply in his remarks last week that the Gulf ally was supporting alQaida fighters in Syria.

Biden spoke with Prince Mohamed bin Zayed, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi and a key Emirati leader, the White House said. It was the second time in two days that Biden had to call a key partner in President Barack Obama’s coalition to walk back comments he made on Thursday, when he said that U.S. allies — including Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE — had funded and armed extremist groups linked to al-Qaida.

Earlier Sunday, an exasperated UAE requested “a formal clarification” from Biden on comments that America’s allies in the Middle East sent weapons and cash to extremists fighting in Syria.

The White House said Biden clarified his remarks and recognized the UAE’s

Neves emphasized those family roots in a statement late Sunday.

“What I can say, what comes to mind, is what my grandfather Tancredo said 30 years ago when he won the elections for president of the republic: ’We must not get dispersed.

We are just in the middle of our path.’ And I hope to be able to walk alongside every Brazilian who wants a dignified and efficient government to the end. I am going to fight for that,” he said.

One year after his grandfather’s death, Neves was elected to the first of four terms as congressman. The 54-year-old father of three also served one term as senator.

Neves’ reputation took a hit in July, Brazil’s biggest newspaper Folha de S.Paulo alleged Neves’ government spent around $5.5 million to build an airport on land belonging to an uncle of the then-governor.

Neves later contested the accusations.

Carlos Ernanny, a retired 68-year-old in Rio de Janeiro, said he voted for Neves out of “hope for our Brazil.”

“His good sense, his moral compass gives me hope for economic growth and development,” he said, a common refrain among Neves supporters because of his businessfriendly, centrist stance.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Brazil’s unpredictable election took another twist Sunday, with left-leaning President Dilma Rousseff being forced into a runoff race as expected, but against a centre-right challenger who only surged in the final week of the campaign.

Rousseff will face Aecio Neves in the Oct. 26 runoff vote, required as no single candidate won an outright majority. With over 99 per cent of the vote counted, the president had won 41.5 per cent against Neves’ 33.6 per cent.

As surprising as Neves’ rise was the fall from grace of another candidate, former environment minister Marina Silva, who took just 21 per cent of the vote. In late August, she held a double-digit lead over Rousseff in polls after being thrust into the race when her Socialist Party’s first candidate died in a plane crash.

But over the past three weeks, the powerful political machine of Rousseff’s Workers’ Party eviscerated Silva with what some analysts called the most negative and aggressive campaigning Brazil has seen since returning to democracy nearly 30 years ago. Silva fell hard in polls and could never regain her footing or get

her message out.

Neves, however, had the backing of the well-organized Social Democracy Party, which held the presidency from 1994 until 2002, a period when Brazil tamed its hyperinflation and turned its economy around.

“Aecio’s performance has been extraordinary and one of the reasons for this is the very strong party structure behind him — a party with a strong nationwide presence and which has been in the presidency,” said Carlos Pereira, a political analyst with the Gertulio Vargas Foundation, Brazil’s leading think-tank . “It is now a new election where everything is wide open. Aecio, who until recently no one believed had a chance, has emerged as a very strong candidate.”

Neves is an economist and former two-term governor of Minas Gerais, Brazil’s secondmost populous state, where he left office in 2010 with an approval rating above 90 per cent.

He has strong name recognition in Brazil. Neves began his political career at age 23 as the personal secretary to his grandfather, Tancredo Neves, a widely beloved figure who was chosen to become Brazil’s first post-dictatorship president but fell ill and died before taking office.

50-year-old virgin feeling lonely Dear Annie: I’m a 50-year-old male, not particularly tall, with a stocky (not fat) build and blond hair. I’m still a virgin.

I have dated several women over the years, but nothing intimate ever came of it. I have a good job and am well heeled. I’m not super-handsome, but I’m not unattractive, either. My personality isn’t too bad, but somehow, I don’t come across positively to women.

I am looking for a woman of good character who is easy to get along with.

Most of the women I’ve met want only a good time, for me to spend money on them and perhaps a roll in the hay.

That’s not what I am searching for in the woman I want to marry. Am I too inflexible? – Lonely in Pennsylvania Dear Lonely: Your standards are fine, but because you have waited so long to find someone, your odds of doing so are decreasing. Society isn’t particularly kind to middle-aged virgins, believing something must be wrong with them. We assume you aren’t having trouble meeting women, only marriageable ones.

You might have better luck through a church where there are activities organized around singles. Also, if you haven’t already done so, please expand your search to include women

your own age who may be in the same position and could be more welcoming.

Dear Annie: My high blood pressure is really up there. I tried in vain to speak to someone on the phone regardMITCHELL ing a car issue. & SUGAR All I got was a recording saying “press this” or “press that,” none of which got me anywhere. I had a simple question. I wasn’t looking to put together an automobile.

I was on the phone for nearly half an hour. The only thing I accomplished was getting my blood pressure up. I wanted to speak to another human being, not a recording. What in the world are we coming to? – Blood Pressure Rising in Binghamton, N.Y. Dear Blood Pressure: Automated responses are cheaper than hiring people to answer the phone, and in many

instances, you can get the information you need this way. But not everything.

So, we understand your frustration.

Here’s a little trick for you: When you need to speak to an operator, press “0,” regardless of your choices. In most cases, you will be connected to a real human being.

Dear Annie: My blood boiled when I read your response to “Jay,” who complained about the length of weddings.

He sounds like one of those guests who makes it all about him and not the couple celebrating the most important day of their lives. You told him it was an option to leave before dinner was served. That is unbelievably rude!

You do know, I would hope, that the hosts still have to pay for the meal. In the case of our daughter, that amounted to $60 per person.

How would you feel if you invited a guest for dinner at a restaurant and he left after ordering his food and you still had pay for it? Are you kidding me?

If a person doesn’t like the length of weddings, the invitation should be declined. Another option would be to

My amazing 95-year-old mother-in-law was on the dance floor until the last song was played.

People RSVP with every intention of eating dinner.

We’ve seen guests descend like locusts on the dessert. But if the reception is appallingly delayed because the bridal party went out for drinks first or decided to spend three hours taking photographs, guests are entitled to go home when they can’t wait any longer.
