Killings shock Consort When one person brought terror, others near Consort were forced to become heroes in the fight of their lives on Friday. And in the terrible end, three people lost their lives, and a community was in shock. While RCMP have not identified the three people or released many MARY-ANN details, family BARR has. Christine Clifford, 44, Shawn Lindsay, 43, and Joseph Sylvester, 39, all died in

Police were called to Shawn Lindsay’s rural home at about 3:30 a.m. There they found two men shot — one was already dead and the other fatally wounded — and a woman, injured as

well during an ensuing battle and gunfight. Multiple media reports indicate that Sylvester, after killing his partner Clifford at their rural residence, drove to the Shawn Lindsay home where a confrontation took place.

Here’s what Stacey Lindsay, married to Shawn’s older brother Rod, told me on Monday. She and Rod were in bed sleeping when the phone rang. “As the crow flies,” they live about three km north of Shawn. Sylvester also lived several kilometres north of Shawn Lindsay. It was Billie-Jo Wadden calling, in a complete panic. She is Shawn’s fiance and the mother of the couple’s 17-month-old son TJ. Shawn also has custody of his other son, five-year-old Everett. All four were home in bed that night. Stacey said she wasn’t clear on what was going on, but Billie-Jo was begging them to come and get the children, and that there had been a shooting.

MEMORIAL CUP

Rebels learn fate of bid Wednesday BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Red Deer Rebels boss Brent Sutter is carefully optimistic regarding his club’s chances of hosting the 2016 Memorial Cup tournament. Sutter, the Rebels owner/general manager/head coach, will learn Wednesday at the Delta Bow Valley Hotel in Calgary whether his club or the Vancouver Giants will earn the right to stage major junior hockey’s grandest event a year and a half down the road. The announcement is expected to be made between 3 and 3:30 p.m. “You break down all the elements and you certainly like to think that we have a legitimate shot (of being named tournament hosts), but at the end of the day it still comes down to what the (Western Hockey League) governors think and what they want to do,” said Sutter. “There’s no way of knowing that ahead of time, but you’d like to think you have a reasonable chance. But again, it will come down to what 20 other governors think.” The Rebels have history on their side, or rather a lack of Memorial Cup history being that Alberta lasted hosted the Memorial Cup in 1974. The Giants, on the other hand, hosted in 2007, and even though it was the best-attended nine-game tournament ever — with an average paid attendance of 13,496 — the argument could still be made that it’s way past time to place the event in the Wild Rose province. “You have a team that has never hosted and a province that hasn’t hosted for 40 years now,” said Sutter. “Then you have a team (Giants) that hosted seven years ago, and did a great job of it. “And yet, that’s why you’re a part of a league — to be given the same opportunities as other franchises.” It’s no secret that the Saskatoon Blades were awarded the 2013 Memorial Cup — beating out bids from Red Deer and Kelowna — due to the fact the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon has a seating capacity of 15,195, more than twice that of each of the other two finalists.

Man who shot Fas Gas clerk in the face sentenced to nine years in jail BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF With a sawed-off shotgun two feet from his face, West Park Fas Gas clerk Jaysen Arancon Reyes raised his hands to shield his head from a blast. Jeffrey Lyle Geary, 31, pulled the trigger. The impact knocked Reyes over as the pellets from the shotgun shell tore through his hands, face and his right eye. Staggering back to his feet, Reyes opened the till, took out all the cash and laid it on the counter. But Geary didn’t take it. Geary walked over to the ATM, put his shotgun on it for a short time, then picked it up and left. All he took was a slush he had

poured earlier when he walked in to the Fas Gas on Sept. 11, 2013. Geary was sentenced to nine years in custody on Monday in Red Deer provincial court by Judge Darrel Riemer. He pleaded guilty on Aug. 11 to four charges, including attempted robbery with a prohibited weapon, possessing a loaded prohibited weapon, manufacturing the prohibited weapon and aggravated assault. According to the agreed statement of facts, in the days leading up to the offence Geary had obtained the firearm and gone about modifying it illegally by turning it into a sawed-off shotgun. On Sept. 11, he went into the store twice, once earlier in the day and then again at 11:22 p.m. At first, Geary conversed with Reyes, while concealing the sawed-off

shotgun. Geary then walked over to the slush machine to make one for himself. He walked around the store for a bit and when another customer entered the store, Geary ducked into the bathroom. The customer left and Geary approached Reyes. With a slush in one hand and a shotgun in the other, Geary raised the firearm and aimed it squarely at Reyes. He shot it at close range, severely wounding Reyes. And then Geary left, disposing of the weapon. Two days later, Geary turned himself in and he has been in custody since Sept. 13, 2013. Reyes managed to give a brief statement to Red Deer RCMP the night of the shooting.

No one was injured. Police recovered a knife that had been used by one of the suspects. The suspects are described as wearing black jackets and hoodies. One suspect had a black scarf covering his face and the other had what was described as a women’s scarf covering his face. Anyone with information that may assist the police in identifying the suspects is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

STORIES FROM A1

CONSORT: ‘All hell broke loose’ Parents Bob and Carol Lindsay live right next door to Shawn. Billie-Jo tried them first to come and get the children. “She couldn’t get a hold of Bob and Carol ... the paramedics were already on the site. ... You know when she was freaking out I caught ramblings. I didn’t really catch anything as to what was truly going on,” Stacey said. “She didn’t know what to do, she was worried about getting the kids out of there, she doesn’t want them to be subject to that. No mother does. “She was hoping that I’d come and get them ... I didn’t know what was going on. I said, ‘We’re on our way.’ “We just knew that this Sylvester started shooting up the place. “The details I don’t know for sure. I wasn’t there. I do know that Joe (Sylvester) come in the house (with a gun) when they were sleeping and when Shawn realized he was there, they threw him out.” Shawn and Billie-Jo somehow got him out of the house and locked the door. Then, said Stacey, Shawn grabbed a gun. “And that’s when all hell broke loose basically and he (Sylvester) smashed the door in and punched Billie in the face and in that meantime or whatever she managed to get back to her feet, and in the scramble Shawn ended up shot, and she kept telling him: ‘Shawn! Shoot him! He’s not stopping, you gotta shoot him!’ and he finally ended it.” Stacey said Shawn was lying on the floor wounded when he was shot by Sylvester. Shawn would die several hours later in hospital. Billie-Jo was hit with buckshot but is not in hospital. At some point, Stacey also tried to reach her inlaws, Carol and Bob Lindsay. “That’s when the major panic really set in. Even for myself. Something’s not right. And then I had visions of him doing them (Bob and Carol) first.” Later, police would find Christine Clifford at her home she shared with Sylvester. She had been shot dead as well. “I know deep in my heart that she (Christine) tried to stop him (Sylvester) and that’s why she’s dead. I know that deep in my heart. So between the two of them they’re f-----g heroes,” a sobbing Stacey said. Stacey describes Shawn: “You name it, he was there for ya.” His nickname was Chumley, she said, laughing a little with the memory. Like a lot of rural families, they are a family that loves to hunt and fish, and Shawn loved his quad, said Stacey. Clifford is the mother of four daughters — Miranda, Colby, Kaylie and Breanna. Her husband Doug

Clifford died suddenly on Oct. 12, 2011, at the age of 42. When the Consort events first became public on Friday, RCMP stated that there was no risk to the public and that all three deceased were known to each other. Bob Lindsay told media that Sylvester had worked for his sons’ oilfield company (S&R Oilfield Construction), but had been fired recently. Bob and Carol also have a daughter, Rhea, who lives in Red Deer. All the rest of the family resides in the Consort area. Now they are all gathered at Bob and Carol’s. Billie-Jo’s two sisters have arrived to offer her support. “She’s doing better,” says Stacey. A service for Shawn is set for 1 p.m. on Friday at the Consort Sportex. Dates for the other two funerals are not known yet. Where do they go from here? “Forward,” says Stacey, without hesitation. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

CUP: Money may be the deciding factor In other words, it came down to money — the 22 WHL teams share tournament profits equally — especially with the Blades backed by a sizeable financial guarantee from the Saskatchewan provincial government. It’s widely believed that league governors will stress the quality of the host team even more this time around. For the record, the Giants are 4-2-0-0 to start the season and the Rebels are 3-3-0-0. That, of course, is a very small sample and does not reflect what the two teams will look like even a year from now. Sutter is confident that he has enough talent in place that adding a few pieces here and there will be enough to make the Rebels a Memorial Cup contender in 2015-16. Because he has stock-piled draft picks as trade bait, including a pair of second-rounders courtesy of the Portland Winterhawks, Sutter may be capable of landing an impact player or two — when the timing is right — without losing any of his key skaters. “We really feel that we certainly have a nucleus and a core group that’s very strong and you can build around that,” he said. “We’ve identified a couple of areas we’d like to be better in and in time we will make that happen.” As for the fact that the Giants are one win better than his club at the present time, Sutter pointed out that Vancouver had its entire veteran roster available to start the season. “They didn’t have anybody away at pro camps,” said Sutter, who was minus the services of NHL firstround draft picks Haydn Fleury and Conner Bleackley — both of whom have since returned to the Rebels — to start the regular season. “That’s a big difference,” Sutter continued. “Be-

A warrant has been issued for a Red Deer man accused of multiple instances of fraud and passing forged documents. Chance Aaron Shaw, 23, was not present at the Monday arraignments in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench nor was counsel to represent him. As a result, Crown prosecutor Jordan Petty asked Justice Charlene Anderson to issue a warrant for Shaw’s arrest. Shaw is accused of offering a house for rent under false pretenses. Further Red Deer RCMP investigation led them to believe the same suspect was involved in delivering workplace safety training without having the proper authority.

sides, it’s not where your team is today, it’s where you’re going to be at down the road, where you’re going to be at a year from now.” Last month, a ‘hockey committee’ consisting of Brandon Wheat Kings owner/GM/head coach Kelly McCrimmon, Ryan Jankowski of Hockey Canada and Edmonton Oilers head scout Stu MacGregor, evaluated the Rebels’ and Giants’ current rosters and the prospects of the teams being competitive Memorial Cup hosts in 2016. The committee has submitted its report to the league governors, who may see that one team has an advantage over the other in regards to the present rosters and the potential to improve via the trade route. Whatever, Sutter will know by mid-afternoon Wednesday whether Red Deer will stage the Canadian Hockey League championship event. “I’m going there with an open mind, but I think we all know what the right thing is to do,” he said. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

COURT: Victim still undergoing rehab He was rushed to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre before being taken to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary. Shotguns pellets tore through many parts of his hands and face, and led to the amputation of his right thumb. A pellet travelled through his right eye, rupturing it and putting Reyes into cardiac arrest for a minute before he was stabilized. Reyes has undergone a number of surgeries since the incident. Reyes has been at a rehabilitation facility near Calgary since the shooting and Riemer said it was likely he would remain there for weeks and possibly months to come. In his victim impact statement, Reyes detailed the extent of his injuries, the lengthiness of his rehabilitation and his inability to do tasks he could before the shooting. He said the incident has led to the loss of his dreams and he is fearful of future criminal victimization. Geary has no criminal record but was in the middle of a year where he spiraled out of control. According to the pre-sentence report, a nine-year relationship he had with the mother of his two children ended in 2012 and that led to an extended period of substance abuse. However, the report indicate he was deeply sorry for the pain he caused. Riemer sentenced Geary to a total of nine years in jail — six years for the attempted robbery and aggravated assault charges and three yeas for the manufacturing and possessing a prohibited weapon. In addition, Geary is banned for his life from owning firearms, ammunition and explosives and will have a sample of his DNA entered into a police registry. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Prentice to revisit aboriginal policies EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Jim Prentice says he’ll revisit policies that have led to the “ripening” of a welter of lawsuits and controversies between the provincial government and First Nations over energy development. “I’m not naive enough to think there haven’t been issues,” Prentice told The Canadian Press in an interview. “I know there have been. But I’ll deal with them.” The last couple of years have seen almost all of the changes Alberta has made to how its energy industry is governed come under legal and political attack from First Nations. In court actions, as well as judicial and legislative reviews, aboriginals have argued the province is systematically narrowing the scope of their influence over how development proceeds, especially in the oilsands. Aboriginals have refused to participate any longer in government-run environmental monitoring and have boycotted talks on new provincial rules for how industry must consult First Nations. The province’s dealings with aboriginals have added to international criticisms of Alberta’s development policies.

BRIEF Mountie shoots, injures man armed with possible gun in RCMP detachment REDCLIFF — A Mountie has shot and wounded a man at an RCMP detachment in southern Alberta. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says it is investigating the shooting that happened early Monday in the town of Redcliff, northwest of Medicine Hat. The agency says in a news release that a man walked into the local detachment and, “when approached by police, he produced and pointed what appeared to be a firearm.” An officer shot and wounded the man and he was taken to hospital. ASIRT, a provincial unit that investigates the use of force by police, provided no other details. RCMP would only add that the injured man is a civilian.

Province needs stronger changes to rein in severance payouts: Wildrose

That will change, Prentice promised, starting with the Aboriginal Consultation Office, a new provincial program in which government bureaucrats decide when and how much consultation is necessary. It is opposed by every First Nation in the province. “It clearly has to be revisited,” said Prentice, who serves as his own aboriginal affairs minister. “We can’t have consultation legislation that none of the people who are being consulted support. “There’s going to have to be further discussions with First Nations leadership and chiefs. A number of them have flagged it for me personally.” Prentice added he wants new talks on Alberta’s plan to balance development and the environment in the oilsands. All area First Nations oppose the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan and have argued against it at an ongoing legislative review. “We’ll start with the plan that we have and continue with additional consultation and collaboration on it,” Prentice said. “It has been a contentious issue, and I know that. For sure, I will sit down and hear their specific concerns.” He also said he wants to ensure the province’s energy regulator is making fair decisions on who gets the right to address public hearings on energy development. “There’s been questions raised provincewide about that issue, not only in the context of First Nations, but elsewhere. We need to ensure we have

the appropriate test of standing so that the system is balanced and fair and it works to the satisfaction of both the people in the energy industry and people who are directly and adversely affected by decisions that are made.” Prentice wants First Nations in the oilsands area to rejoin government-led environmental monitoring programs that he helped initiate when he was in the federal cabinet. “I want to understand why it’s not working and how we get everyone back working together.” Eriel Deranger, spokeswoman for the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, welcomed Prentice’s words. “It will be very nice to see Prentice take his opportunity in office to make major changes,” she said. “It’s not as if we don’t want to work with the government — it’s that our relationship has been largely shattered. Every time we have a conversation with them, nothing ever results.” Prentice said he intends to deliver more than words. “It’s not just about communications. It’s about having defensible science, it’s about having robust regulation, it’s about respecting treaty rights.” The aboriginal cabinet job is important to him, he said. “I know the chiefs. I know the communities. I have a deep history as a former federal minister. I’m passionate about it and I want to be involved.”

structure minister. But a spokeswoman for Prentice disputed the Wildrose number, saying the $5.7 million represented not a payment, but an estimated liability for severances. “In the end, only $1.8 million of this amount was paid to severed employees between 2011 and 2014,” Emily Woods said in a statement. Woods also said that “Beginning in January 2010, Service Alberta has achieved staff reductions, mostly through attrition, that will save Albertans an estimated $21 million every year.” Prentice promised to reform the severance system after former premier Alison Redford’s inner circle left with more than $1 million in severance earlier this year. The government has also been criticized for hefty payouts for executives with Alberta Health Services, which handles front-line care.

the opening of liquor stores. The plebiscite, which also asks about fluoride in the water and allowing backyard hens, simply asks “Are you in favour of alcohol sales within the Town of Cardston?” Currently the two nearest communities where alcohol can be obtained are Fort Macleod to the north and Lethbridge to the northeast. Mayor Maggie Kronen says if the vote is in favour of allowing liquor sales it will be up to the province to amend the liquor laws as they apply to Cardston. She acknowledges the change could result in economic spinoffs.

Residents of small Alberta town to vote in plebiscite to allow alcohol sales CARDSTON — A ban on alcohol sales that has been in place since Alberta became a province will be voted on in a plebiscite in the town of Cardston today. The predominantly Mormon town, 240 kilometres south of Calgary, has been dry for the past 109 years. Cardston was founded in 1887 by Mormon settlers and the religion prohibits drinking coffee, tea and alcohol, and believes Sundays are holy and should be about reflection. About 80 per cent of its 3,500 residents are Mormons, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The non-binding plebiscite limits the sale of alcohol at restaurants with a meal or at the local golf course or recreational facility. It does not call for

RCMP say flames broke out early this morning at the hangar at Wetaskiwin Airport. Police says the fire also destroyed some aircraft and equipment inside. Nobody was hurt. Fire crews extinguished the flames before they spread to surrounding structures. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

EDMONTON — Alberta’s Opposition says a plan by Premier Jim Prentice to cap severance payouts doesn’t go far enough — but the government says the Wildrose numbers are wrong. Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith, in a statement Monday, said the payments have to go beyond political staff to include all senior managers and government officials. “The problem runs much deeper,” said Smith. “Albertans are ready to send a message that EUROPEAN QUALITY PRODUCTS they’ve had enough of #5 4324-54 Avenue, Red Deer(south of Carnival Cinemas) government insiders getting rich off of them, and they’re ready to vote Monday-Friday 10-6 | Saturday 9-4 for a party that will put their interests first.” • GLUTEN FREE • NO MSG The Wildrose said a • NO ADDITIVES OR freedom-of-information PRESERVATIVES search has revealed that Specialty Meats, Sausages cabinet minister Manfor BBQ, Cold Cuts, Smoked meet Bhullar’s office and Cured Fish, Cheese, paid out $5.7 million to Party Trays and much more senior staff when he ran the Service Alberta deATTENTION HUNTERS: partment.

TUESDAY, OCT. 7, 2014

Our role in a new war REFUGEES VERSUS CIVILIAN CASUALTIES: HOW MANY OF EACH WILL WE ACCEPT It’s pretty well a done deal: Canada will go to war — in a limited way, at first anyway — in the Middle East. The majority of government MPs in Ottawa will see to that rather quickly. The promise to consult and debate the proposal regarding our active combat role in the fight against the terrorists in ISIL was concluded in one day, Friday. A majority of Canadians, even those who self-identify as Liberal or NDP supporters politically, support sending air strike equipment and perGREG sonnel to Iraq and probably NEIMAN to Syria. The evidence of that was shown in several polls conducted last week. Here’s the extent of Canada’s commitment to the international military effort in Iraq right now: 10 aircraft of various kinds, 600 military personnel, for six months. No Canadian ground troops will be sent, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper promises he will consult and debate again if the six-month engagement is to become something longer. Although the goal suggested by U.S. President Barack Obama is to eliminate the ISIL threat, Harper says Canada will deem our mission a success if we “seriously degrade the capabilities of ISIL.” Our aim is to stop the terrorists’ ability to conduct military movements of scale, or to operate in the open. Harper has also said that if the president of neighbouring Syria requests it, he will authorize Canadian planes to do bombing runs at targets in Syria. That we can do in six months. In fact, current information says the stated Canadian goal has already been reached. ISIL no longer conducts military movements “of scale.” They are hiding in the villages, towns and cities — among civilians. For his part, Obama is already speaking publicly about the probability of civilian casualties, the men women and children who get blown up by the smartest of smart bombs nearby the buildings identified as containing ISIL forces, leaders or equipment caches. In Canada, Harper is not talking about such things. He is also not talking about his government’s cutbacks to accepting refugees fleeing towns controlled by ISIL. Canada’s official goal for helping to alleviate the humanitarian crisis for over a million Syrian refugees already waiting in camps is 1,300 people. If Canadian sponsors can be found for these refugees, that is how many Canada will accept. About 1,100 such people have already been allocated to enter Canada, sponsored mostly by churches and nonprofit groups, who promise to take responsibility for

INSIGHT

these people until they settle as landed immigrants. How many have actually landed so far? A couple hundred or so. Canada’s largest sponsor is the Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto. After going public with their difficulties in dealing with Canadian immigration officers, their 135 refugee claims were fast-tracked. The archdiocese has no more applications allotted to them. A whole lot of immigration offices have been closed by the federal government, leading to a backlog lasting years for all current applications, never mind any new ones. Either the process in approving refugee claims is too time-consuming, the offices are starved for staff or the federal government is deliberately delaying the fulfilment of its humanitarian goals. I believe the reality is a combination of the three. News reports have already detailed an ongoing genocide of ethnic Christians in Iraq and Syria.

That’s a major source of the explosion in refugees from the areas where ISIL operates. None of this is any secret nor is it recent news. That leads to my questions for the government, and for the people who support our military role in stopping ISIL: ● How many civilian casualties will Canada accept on its bombing runs in Iraq (and probably Syria)? ● Will that number be greater than or less than the number of legitimate refugees we can pry through our under-staffed Immigration Canada offices, before our six-month combat stint is supposed to be over? Innocent lives saved versus innocent lives taken. When the casualty reports come in, I hope someone will keep track of the score. Greg Neiman is a retired Advocate editor.

TERRORISM 101

The revolution will eat its children There was a time, as recently as 25 years ago, when military staff colleges around the world taught a reasonably effective doctrine for dealing with terrorism. Then it was forgotten, but we need it back. It would be especially useful in dealing with the terrorist state that has recently emerged in northern Iraq and eastern Syria. The doctrine was painfully worked out back in the decades of the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, when terrorism was one of the world’s biggest problems. Most of the time, the strategy worked, whether the threat was the urban terrorists who plagued most Latin American countries and a number of big developed GWYNNE countries, or the rural guerilDYER las who fought the government in many African and Asian countries. The key insight was this: Terrorist movements always want you to overreact, so don’t do it. The terrorists usually lack the popular support to overpower their opponent by force, so they employ a kind of political jiu-jitsu: they try to use the adversary’s own strength against him. Most domestic terrorism, and almost all international terrorism, is aimed at provoking a big, stupid, self-defeating response from the target government. The Red Army Faction terrorists, for example, hoped that their attacks would provoke West Germany’s democratic government into severe repression. This was known, in the works of philosopher Herbert Marcuse, as “unmasking the repressive tolerance of the liberal bourgeoisie” — and once the West German government had dropped its mask, the RAF ter-

rorists believed, the outraged workers would rise up in their millions and overthrow it. But we never found out if the workers would actually do that, because the West German government refused to panic. It just tracked down the terrorists and killed or arrested them. It used violence, but only in legal, limited and precisely targeted ways. The same approach ended the terrorist campaigns in Italy (the Red Brigades), Canada (the Quebec Liberation Front), Japan (the Japanese Red Army) and the United States (the Weathermen). In Latin America, by contrast, the “urban terrorists” did succeed in the first stage of their strategy. Their attacks drove the military in Argentina, Brazil and a number of other countries to seize power and create brutally repressive regimes. But even this did not cause the population to revolt, as the terrorists had expected. Instead, “the people” kept their heads down while the military regimes destroyed the revolutionaries (together with many innocent bystanders). Extreme repression can also eventually succeed as a counterstrategy to terrorism, but it imposes a terrible cost on the population. International terrorism has a somewhat better record of success, mainly because these terrorists are not actually trying to overthrow the government they attack. They are merely trying to trick that foreign government into using massive violence against the countries where they really do want to take power. The attacks of the foreigners will outrage and radicalize the local population, who will then give their support to the local revolutionaries. The most successful operation of this kind was 9/11, a low-cost attack that incited the United States to invade two entire countries in the region where the revolutionaries of al-Qaida hoped to replace the local governments with Islamist regimes. The local population has been duly radicalized, especially in the Sunni-majority parts of Iraq, and 13 years later

an “Islamic Caliphate” has taken power in the northern and western parts of that country. Osama bin Laden would have condemned the extreme cruelty that the new Islamist state has adopted as its modus operandi, but in essence it is the fulfilment of the grand strategy that he worked out after the Russians left Afghanistan a quarter-century ago. He could not have predicted that the strategy’s greatest success would be in Iraq, for he had no allies or followers there before the U.S. invasion, but he would still take credit for it. So now that bin Laden’s vision has finally taken concrete shape, how should we deal with it? (“We” in this case is practically every regime in the Arab world, most of the other Muslim countries, and all of the NATO countries, with Russia and China in supporting roles). ISIL’s behaviour is abominable, but is there any better option than simply bombing it from a great height? Rule one in the old anti-terrorism doctrine was don’t overreact, and it still applies. That means as little bombing as possible, and only of strictly military targets. Preferably, it would mean no bombing at all except in specific areas where ISIL troops are on the offensive. It means not letting yourself be lured into more extreme action by the public beheading of innocent hostages and the other atrocities that ISIL stages to attract a certain kind of recruit. Indeed, it means not launching a major ground offensive against ISIL (for which the troops are not available anyway), and waiting for events to take their course within the ‘Islamic State.’ Regimes as radical and violent as this one rarely survive for long. The revolution will eat its children, as so many have before, and it will happen a lot more quickly if they don’t have a huge foreign military threat to hold them together.

CANADA House of Commons poised to approve motion on mission BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canadian CF-18s will soon be heading off to war in Iraq, leaving Parliament and the public in a fog about some key elements of the military commitment — notably what efforts will be made to limit civilian casualties. The House of Commons stands poised to approve a motion, likely on Tuesday, that would deploy six fighter-bombers, two CP-140 surveillance planes and one refuelling aircraft for coalition air strikes in Iraq for up to six months. Tuesday’s vote comes as the Pentagon warns that extremists with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have “gotten better at concealment” since the U.S., Britain, France and key Arab countries began air raids. U.S. Rear Admiral John Kirby, the assistant secretary of defence for public affairs, told reporters in Washington that extremists who rode around in the open have now dispersed and are hiding among the civilian population, forcing allied air forces to change their own strategy. “We’ve seen them change some of their tactics,” Kirby said. “Before the airstrikes happened, they were — they pretty much had free rein. They don’t have that free rein anymore, because they know we’re watching from the air.” The Harper government was mute during Monday’s debate about what precautions would be taken to prevent bombs from going astray and killing innocent people. Defence Minister Rob Nicholson would only say that the air force will “live up to the highest standards.” National Defence was asked what sort of legal agreements were in place to protect Canadian pilots from possible accusations of targeting civilians. A spokeswoman for Nicholson, Johanna Quinney, would only respond with the blanket assurance that the air

force is “authorized to strike ISIL in the Republic of Iraq.” NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said the “Conservatives have gone out of their way to stifle informed debate.” The use of airstrikes — and the resulting civilian casualties — was a big factor in turning many Afghans against NATO forces in that country. The anger became so strong that the U.S. general leading the war effort was forced to place limits on how and when they could be used. The Libya bombing campaign was conducted with relatively few civilian casualties, but those deaths were reviewed by a United Nations commission that urged the military alliance to conduct its own further investigation. Green party Leader Elizabeth May questioned the effectiveness of airstrikes, citing published reports from the region quoting Kurdish fighters who say the airstrikes have failed to slow ISIL’s advance. “They scattered and re-form after the jets leave,” said May, who asked for evidence that the bombing runs would prove effective. She wondered whether “the planned mission will do anything other than to fall into the trap (ISIL) has set to get us involved for their propaganda and ongoing efforts to destabilize the region and encourage recruitment.” Neither Nicholson nor National Defence would say which of Canada’s principal fighter bases — Bagotville, Que., or Cold Lake, Alta. — would contribute the CF-18s. The Conservative government also refused to say where the aircraft would be based in the Middle East. Britain, on the other hand, has made no secret of the fact its Tornado GR4 fighter jets are operating out of Cyprus. Nicholson would not provide an estimate on what the deployment could cost, despite the fact the U.S. openly acknowledged last week its campaign is already closing in on the $1-billion mark.

Magnotta jury hears police don’t know how, when or why he and Jun Lin first met BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The jurors in Luka Rocco Magnotta’s first-degree murder trial were told Monday that none of the evidence gathered in the investigation has enabled police to determine how the accused first met Jun Lin. “Despite intensive searches ... nothing allows us to establish how they met, when or why,” Montreal police Det-Sgt. Claudette Hamlin testified. That included exhaustive checks of phone records and the online activity of both men, she said. Police combed through 7,484 photos found on Lin’s computer but found none of Magnotta. The trial resumed Monday with more surveillance video from Magnotta’s apartment building that shows him leaving for the last time on May 26, 2012. He can be seen holding a small carry-on suitcase and getting into a taxi that can be spotted in the reflection of the glass door of the building. That video was captured two days after Lin was seen walking into the building with Magnotta. Lin was never seen alive again, and Magnotta is spotted discarding items in the trash over two days before leaving the apartment building for good. Magnotta, 32, has pleaded not guilty to five charges. He insists he is not

criminally responsible in the Chinese student’s death because of mental disorder. Lin, 33, was seen on surveillance video wearing a yellow T-shirt, shorts and a baseball cap as he walked nonchalantly into the apartment building with Magnotta at 10:16 p.m. on May 24, 2012. Just a few hours later, Magnotta was caught on the same cameras, wearing Lin’s T-shirt and methodically putting trash in the basement of the building as well as carrying it outside over the next day. Magnotta comes and goes, sometimes stopping to look at his appearance in the lobby. Lin’s torso was found on May 29, 2012, stuffed into a suitcase behind Magnotta’s apartment building. Other body parts were also discovered in the trash behind the building. A baseball cap similar to Lin’s was found among Magnotta’s personal effects when he was arrested in Berlin in early June of that year. Also retrieved was a dark wig that Hamlin said cost $1,700. On Monday, the jury watched video of another individual who went to Magnotta’s apartment a week before Lin’s slaying. That person, who has not been identified by investigators, appears in the first 53 seconds of the so-called murder video the jury has not yet seen.

Dear Dr. D: Last week I saw my regular dentist. I was in no pain but when he checked me out, he straight out told me I'm going to lose my back teeth. He said they would get loose and then infected and need to be yanked. He said there were some irreversible signs of disease around several of them and he wanted to pull them now. He said I'd need to get gum surgery on some of the others and then I'd need to see the hygienist every two or three months so that I could slow the recession process down. I was shocked! I've always been a healthy guy and my teeth have seemed pretty good. I've had some crowns and a bridge and some root canals but I sure didn't expect this. He also said that some of my teeth were getting loose but didn't tell me if there was any way of stopping the problem from progressing. I need options. Do I have to lose my teeth? I don't like any doubletalk. I see problems - and I get them fixed. That's what I want to do with my teeth – find an answer and get it done. What do you think? A: I saw someone recently with similar issues. I told him adults lose their teeth to gum and bone breakdown because of one of four factors, or a combination of them. First is genetics – osteoporosis and diabetes run in families, and may contribute to loss of teeth. Second – plaque buildup leading to tartar, which leads to infection of gums and bone around the teeth. Third – smoking and fourth – clenching and grinding of teeth. Finally, the X factor - anything from trauma to a hockey stick to a steering wheel to diet. What I haven't said in regards to these four conditions is their relationship to the dynamics of each person's mouth. When we chew our food, or unknowingly clench or grind our teeth, and these elements are present (bad genetics, plaque/tartar, smoking, clenching/grinding, X factor), there is greater stress on our teeth. To add insult to injury, when our teeth, jaws, joints and muscles are not working in harmony, the disharmony creates additional forces which accelerate any bone loss. In situations like yours, the first task is plaque control and reduction or elimination of smoking. Following that, if we can correct the dynamics of the teeth, joints and muscles - we resolve most of the problems that you're experiencing. You may still lose teeth, and if you want to fix it implants might be your alternative, or a less natural partial denture etc. With proper balancing and aligning your teeth, the disease can decelerate. Is there a fix? Yes – a dentist who not only examines comprehensively but who treats comprehensively should be able to give you that guidance and options. If we can be of help, we'd like to.

Three dead after 2 shootings in Toronto

Surrey Six defence lawyers allege police misconduct, want mistrial

TORONTO — A 15-year-old boy is among three people who died Monday in two separate shootings in Toronto that forced the lockdown of several nearby schools. The first shooting occurred around noon in the city’s northwest, killing two males. Police say one of the victims was in his late teens while a Toronto Catholic District School Board trustee says the second was 15. Police say the shots rang out in a parking lot near the School of Experiential Education, with that school and three others nearby immediately put into lockdown. Then, around 3 p.m. — moments after police announced restrictions at the schools had been lifted — a male in an east-end alley (near Regent Park) was fatally shot in the head and chest. Four schools nearby were put on hold and secure but given the all-clear about two hours later. Police say they are searching for three suspects believed to be armed and dangerous in connection with the east-end shooting.

Teen apologizes for running Ottawa prostitution ring OTTAWA — A young woman convicted of running a prostitution ring in Ottawa when she was 15 is seeking a youth sentence, saying she is sorry and will forever live with the consequences of her “vile actions.” The 18-year-old woman was convicted earlier this year of more than two dozen charges, including human trafficking, after court heard she used Facebook and other social media sites to befriend girls aged 13 to 17, then forced them into prostitution. She told court Monday that she is “solemnly sorry” for her actions and that “unlike before I have aspirations for my future.” The Crown is seeking an adult sentence that would see her serve three years in addition to the 3 ½ she spent in pre-sentence custody as well as a lifetime weapons ban, a DNA sample order and lifetime registration as a sex offender. But her defence says she should not be sentenced as an adult because she was just 15 and that her crimes were out of character. It says she should be ordered into a clinical treatment and supervision program under a therapeutic sentencing option in the youth-justice law. Defence lawyer Ken Hall says his client is the product of her upbringing by a disengaged mother who worked as

VANCOUVER — Lawyers for two gang members found guilty last week in the murders of six people in a Surrey, B.C., apartment want the convictions thrown out over allegations of police misconduct involving an informer. Defence lawyers for Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston are asking the court to declare a mistrial on the convictions of conspiracy and six counts each of first-degree murder. Brock Martland, who represents Johnston, told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Wedge that it’s deeply problematic that closed-door hearings before the year-long trial resulted in the exclusion of the only eye-witness to the killings. That eyewitness, who because of a publication ban can only be identified as Person X, pleaded guilty in April 2009 to three counts of second-degree murder and is serving a life sentence without chance of parole for 15 years. Person X never testified at the murder trial, and because defence counsel was excluded from the hearings Martland told the court that appearances suggest the police handling of the informer was lacking at best. The sentence for Haevischer and Johnston carries a mandatory minimum of life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years, but the judge hasn’t registered the convictions and instead slated the abuse of process application to begin on Oct. 27.

OTTAWA — The Canadian Human Rights Commission is looking into whether a complaint against the federal government by one of British Columbia’s two major Métis organizations was made in bad faith. It’s the latest development in the open feud between the Métis Nation British Columbia and the B.C. Métis Federation. Together, they represent almost 17,000 of the province’s 59,000 Métis people. The human-rights commission has been looking into an allegation that the federal government discriminated against some Métis people by only funding the MNBC and not the federation. The federation wants to be recognized as a credible alternative to the MNBC, which it accuses of restricting membership and limiting access to federally funded programs and services.

Vancouver police officer admits abusing authority VANCOUVER — A Vancouver police officer who pushed a disabled woman to the ground in the city’s troubled Downtown Eastside neighbourhood admits he abused his authority and recklessly used unnecessary force. Const. Taylor Robinson was walking along a busy sidewalk with two other officers in June 2010 when Sandy Davidsen, who has multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy, walked between Robinson and another officer. A surveillance video captured Robinson pushing Davidsen to the ground and then walking away with his fellow officers. Robinson has previously admitted he neglected his duty by not checking whether Davidsen needed help after she fell to the ground, but he has repeatedly denied he abused his authority when he pushed her. His lawyer, David Crossin, has told the start of a police complaint hearing that Robinson now takes full responsibility for his actions.

Officers seize 14 kg of suspected cocaine at Pearson International MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — The Canada Border Services Agency says 14 kilograms of suspected cocaine was seized by officers checking baggage that arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The agency says officers who were monitoring the off-loading of baggage from a flight that arrived in Toronto from Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, on Sept. 25 observed “anomalies” with one of the bags. It says upon further investigation they discovered 12 bricks concealed under clothing that contained a substance that field tested positive for suspected cocaine. The packages of suspected cocaine were turned over to Peel Regional Police and the investigation is ongoing. There’s no immediate word on any charges in connection with the incident.

QB WILSON RUNS FOR 122 YARDS, ACCOUNTS FOR 3 TDS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Seahawks 27 Redskins 17 LANDOVER, Md. — For nearly a half, Seattle’s penalty yards outnumbered Washington’s total yards. Those selfinflicted wounds, more than anything, kept the Monday night game as close as it was. Russell Wilson rushed for a career-high 122 yards on 11 carries, and the Seahawks survived their “neutral zone infractions,” holds, false starts and other miscues in a 27-17 win over the Redskins, extending Seattle’s tradition of dominance in prime time while handing Washington another deflating moment under the lights. Wilson also completed 18 of 24 passes for 201 yards with two touchdowns for the Seahawks (3-1), who displayed an uncharacteristic lack of crispness coming off their bye. Seattle committed 13 penalties for 90 yards, including a holding, false start and unsportsmanlike conduct calls that wiped out three potential touchdowns by Percy Harvin. How bad was the Seahawks’ penalty bug? It wasn’t until a 4-yard run by Alfred Morris with three minutes left in the first half that the Redskins’ total yards (47) passed Seattle’s penalty yards (45) for good. Marshawn Lynch ran for 72 yards on 17 carries and didn’t enter the game until the Seahawks’ second series. He stood on the sideline, helmet on, during the first drive, and the team did not make an in-game announcement regarding any sort of injury to its leading rusher. Seattle improved to an NFL-best 21-8 on Monday nights, including nine wins

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson scrambles with the ball during the second half of an NFL game against the Washington Redskins in Landover, Md., Monday. The Seahawks won the game 27-17. in a row. The team is also 111 in prime time under coach Pete Carroll. Washington (1-4), meanwhile, has dropped seven straight in prime time and is 4-15 on Monday nights since 2000. The Redskins punted eight times, and two deep passes to DeSean Jackson accounted for 137 of the offence’s 307 total yards. Jackson beat Kam

Chancellor for a 60-yard touchdown catch that cut Seattle’s lead to 17-7 late in the first half, and his 57-yard reception set up a field goal that made it 17-10 early in the third quarter. Jackson finished with five catches for 157 yards. Kirk Cousins completed 21 of 36 passes for 283 yards and dropped to 1-6 in his career as a Redskins starter. Robert

Griffin III missed a third consecutive game with a dislocated left ankle, but he made a cameo appearance before the game, wearing a skin-tight white shirt and pink sleeve on his left arm as he threw passes to Jordan Reed — who is also injured — on the sideline. Wilson had plenty of green in front of him in the first half, whether it was a designed

run or a scramble out of the pocket. He had rushes of 16, 29, 13 and 22 in the first two drives. He headed for the pylon on a clinical zone-read run for a 9-yard score in the second quarter, giving Seattle a 17-point lead. It would have been 21-0 if either of Harvin’s touchdowns — on back-to-back plays — had counted in the first half. First, his 16-yard run to the end zone was wiped out by holding on left guard James Carpenter, then his 26-yard catch-andrun was negated by a flag for a false start on Harvin himself, a penalty that gum-chomping Carroll wandered onto the turf to argue. Early in the fourth quarter, Wilson hit a wide-open Harvin for an apparent 41-yard score, but Carpenter was cited because he “hit a player on the ground unnecessarily,” according to the announcement by referee Jeff Triplette. Carpenter was guilty of blocking a Redskins player who was already on the ground. At least the Seahawks managed to recover from that setback. Wilson scrambled every which way — and nearly past the line of scrimmage before retreating — and hit Luke Willson for a 19-yard gain, and punter-holder Jon Ryan ran 5 yards on a fake field goal on fourth-and-1. Six plays later, Wilson hit Lynch for a 9-yard score to give Seattle a 24-10 lead with 6:31 remaining. The Redskins responded with an 11-play, 80-yard drive, pulling within a touchdown on Cousins’ 6-yard pass to Andre Roberts with 3:35 to go. But the Seahawks took the ensuing kickoff and marched back down the field. Wilson converted a third-and-4 with another run-for-his-life scramble, evading Ryan Kerrigan and tumbling backward as he found Lynch for a 30-yard gain. Steven Hauschka then iced the game with a 43-yard field goal with 21 seconds to play. And, most importantly for the Seahawks, they made it through that final drive without a penalty.

Long ball drives Bumgarner blunder hands Cards to win Nationals first win of series and series lead over Dodgers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cardinals 3 Dodgers 1 ST. LOUIS — Kolten Wong hit a two-run homer to snap a seventh-inning tie, Matt Carpenter went deep for the third straight game and John Lackey lived up to his big-game reputation as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 Monday night to take a 2-1 lead in their best-offive NL Division Series. Facing elimination in St. Louis for the second consecutive post-season, the Dodgers will turn to ace Clayton Kershaw on short rest Tuesday night in Game 4. Shelby Miller makes his first career postseason start for the Cardinals, one win from a fourth straight trip to the NL Championship Series. The Cardinals finished off Los Angeles in a six-game NLCS last fall, knocking out Kershaw in the fifth inning of a 9-0 blowout in the final game. Two runners reached against Trevor Rosenthal in the ninth before he earned his second save of the series — with an assist from the grounds crew on a rainy night. With two runners on, Rosenthal missed badly on consecutive pitches to Juan Uribe. Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina and manager Mike Matheny went to the mound, and Matheny motioned toward plate umpire Dale Scott. The grounds crew was called out to apply a drying agent and rake the mound. Rosenthal threw a pair of practice pitches and found his footing, retiring the next two batters on flies to right for his sixth career post-season save. Hanley Ramirez had three

of the Dodgers’ seven hits, including an RBI double in the sixth. St. Louis hit 105 homers in the regular season, the second-lowest total in the majors, ahead of only Kansas City. But the Cardinals have shown plenty of power in the playoffs. Carpenter connected in the third and then Wong, the rookie second baseman who was picked off to end a World Series loss against Boston last year, hit a two-run shot off loser Scott Elbert to put the Cardinals ahead 3-1. “The season is so long. I never anticipated how long a full major league season is,” Wong said. “Just ups and downs of not producing and getting hurt really struck me hard this year, but all in all it was a great year. I learned a lot and I’m just excited to be here right now.” Carpenter and Albert Pujols are the only Cardinals players to homer in three consecutive post-season games. Pujols did it in 2004, the first two in the NL Division Series and the third in the NLCS. Heavy rain fell briefly in the bottom of the seventh, when Molina greeted Elbert with a double for his second hit. Molina advanced on a sacrifice before Wong drove the next pitch into the Cardinals’ bullpen in right-centre. Carpenter had eight homers in the regular season and had never connected in consecutive games before these playoffs. He hammered a 1-2 pitch from Hyun-Jin Ryu over the right-centre wall leading off the third.

Nationals 4 Giants 1 SAN FRANCISCO — Eye black and uniform still on, Bryce Harper emerged from a different kind of fog than typically seen in San Francisco. This was the celebratory stuff from a Nationals victory party, and he had earned it, all right. Harper screamed out in delight as he crossed the plate with Washington ahead at last. After all those extra innings and a subdued cross-country flight, the Nationals had broken through — with some help from Madison Bumgarner’s big blunder. Doug Fister pitched seven shutout innings and the Nationals capitalized on Bumgarner’s one off-target throw, staving off elimination in the NL Division Series with a 4-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday. “Being able to get that momentum swing to us a little bit is definitely huge,” said Harper, who also made a difficult running catch in the gap. Fister dazzled again in San Francisco, helping the Nationals cut their deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-five series. They ended the Giants’ 10-game post-season winning streak that started with Game 5 of the 2012 NL Championship Series against St. Louis. Washington scored two runs on Bumgarner’s throwing error in the seventh inning to end the ace’s 22-inning scoreless streak. Harper punctuated the victory with a solo homer in the ninth. Drew Storen allowed the first two batters to reach in the bottom of the ninth but shook off his post-season struggles, allowing a run in closing it out as Washington forced a Game 4 on Tuesday night. Now, the 96-win Nationals will send left-hander Gio Gonzalez up against San Francisco right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, hoping to pull out the fog machine they used after wins all season one more time.

Washington Nationals Wilson Ramos scores past the tag of San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey in the seventh inning during Game 3 of the National League division series in San Francisco, Monday. “We just needed one break,” Storen said. “It’s been a tough couple innings here to start and we got our break. It’s just a matter of building on it, and we live to see another day.” On a day Bumgarner had been nearly untouchable, his own miscue prevented a threegame sweep. Bumgarner fielded Wilson Ramos’ two-strike sacrifice bunt between the mound and the first-base line and fired to third rather than going for the sure out at first. “We probably should have taken the out of first. I made a mistake telling him to throw to third,” catcher Buster Posey said. “It happens.” Bumgarner’s throw sailed wide of Pablo Sandoval’s outstretched glove and bounced all the way to the tarp along the left-field wall before rolling over the bullpen mounds where two relievers were warming up. Sandoval nearly did the

splits trying to make the play and stayed down in pain as the two runs scored. Trainers checked on the third baseman and he remained in the game. “That was an important play right now. In my mind I was like, ’I have to do it, have to do it,’ Ramos said. ”For me, that changed the whole game. Bumgarner threw a really good game. Those little things happen in games. If we do the little things, we’ll have an opportunity to win this series.“ Asdrubal Cabrera followed with an RBI single. He spent the final eight innings watching the Giants’ 2-1, 18-inning victory Saturday night after his ejection for arguing a called third strike. Fister outpitched Bumgarner at AT&T Park for the second time in four months after a June gem, leaving behind the frightening memory of his October outing here in Game 2 of the 2012 World Series.

kin, who misses the net or is blocked so often that his seven-year average shooting percentage (a respectable 9.9) masks a pretty grim True Sh% of 4.8. In a bad year like 2010-11, where he had only 16 five-on-five goals, he might go as low as 3.4 per cent, and in a good year like 2009-10, he’ll go as high as 5.9 per cent for 31 five-on-five goals. But most years will be like last year, where at 4.4 per cent Ovechkin was close to his career average and scored 20 fiveon-five goals. You can do this for nearly every veteran player and you’ll find the same phenomenon - True Sh% bounces around a lot from season to season, but over time it tends toward that longterm average. Those in the fancy stats world call this phenomenon “mean reversion.” Being aware of mean reversion is critical if you’re trying to figure out who will have an “up” year and who is due to fall to earth. This means you need to look at a player’s True Sh% as well as how many goals he scored last year. Someone whose True Sh% last season was way above his historical average is almost definitely going to score much less this year, and viceversa. As the graphs illustrate, Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf, Alexander Steen, Joe Pavelski and Gustav Nyquist all had extraordinary shooting luck last year. Perry and Getzlaf, for example, each scored 10 more five-on-five goals last season than you would expect based

Kings volleyball team loses key player The RDC Kings volleyball squad suddenly has a large hole to fill, one they never expected. Late last week, third-year middle blocker Chris Osborn, who is from Arizona, announced he was leaving school to enter the work force with Nike. The six-foot-eight Osborn, who was one of the premier players in the country, played with the Kings in the ACAC/ PacWest Challenge in Vancouver, but four days later announced he was leaving. “It happened so suddenly,” said Kings head coach Aaron Schulha. “We return from B.C., he was at practice Monday, was sick Tuesday and came to me on Wednesday saying he had received the offer and was going to think about it. The next day he addressed the guys and on Friday he was gone. “He got the job opportunity and being an older guy (27) he needed to look at the big picture and that’s the way he chose to go. Unfortunately it changes what we are going to look like. We lose some physicality.” The decision isn’t something that sits well with the RDC coaching staff or the players. “It’s still a touchy subject,” said Schulha. “He’s been a big part of our program over the last two years and we wish him well, but the time of the announcement makes it harder to take. “The big thing was he committed to the program this season, which gets to me and the guys, who are ‘team first’. It just rubs them the wrong way. Some feel he walked out on them.” But it’s not something they can change and Schulha believes the de-

MINOR HOCKEY Logan Linnell and Lane Sim scored for the Red Deer Indy Graphics Chiefs in a 2-1 South Central Hockey League midget AA win over the host Medicine

fending national champions have the talent to fill in. “In the grand scheme of things we will be fine,” added Schulha. “It forces others to step up sooner than we expected. The younger guys get an opportunity to show where they’re at and where it will take them. We have to move on and move forward.” The fact it’s still the preseason will help make the adjustment easier. “The timing is never good, but we have a couple of weeks to get all our ducks in a row before we open the season,” said Schulha. “Last Thursday was our best practice of the year and it came after the announcement. Possibly it will work to our advantage as the guys are fired up. “It will make my life a bit more difficult in terms of who should be on the floor. But in the long run it forces us to come together as a team and raise our level of play sooner than expected.” Osborn started the season working on the right side, but was switching back to the middle. Justin Lucas, who started in the middle at the nationals last season, was going to play on the outside, but may be switched back into the middle. “He’s a guy who’ll play wherever we need him to,” said Schulha, who also has six-foot-seven Adam Turlejski from Australia, Chase Walper, who red- shirted last season, Cole Vriend of Edmonton and Daimyn Bilestsky of Notre Dame battling for a spot in the middle. Schulha said he may bring in some alumni for a scrimmage prior to opening the season Oct. 17-18 in Lethbridge.

CARDS: Struck out The Cardinals tied for the NL lead with 51 home wins while the Dodgers were the best road team at 49-32. Yasiel Puig struck out in seven consecutive at-bats before hitting a leadoff triple in the sixth. Lackey almost got out of it, getting Adrian Gonzalez on a fly to shallow left and striking out Matt Kemp before Ramirez doubled to tie it. Lackey gave up one run and five hits in seven innings, striking out eight. The veteran right-hander improved to 7-5 in post-season play, including three wins for Boston last year — one against St. Louis in the World Series. The crowd of 47,574 was the largest for a baseball game at 9-year-old Busch Stadium, topped only by 48,263 for a soccer friendly between Manchester City and Chelsea in May 2013 with seating on the field and in the bullpens. Before the game, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly announced Kershaw will start Game 4 on three days’ rest instead of Dan Haren, the only way Los Angeles has a chance to get two starts apiece in the series out of its twin aces. Zack Greinke would start Game 5 on regular rest in Los Angeles on Thursday night. Kershaw was 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA and is a heavy favourite to win his third NL Cy Young Award, but he blew a 6-1 lead in the Cardinals’ 10-9 victory in Game 1.

Fister took a line drive to the right side of his head that day — while also opposing Bumgarner — but stayed in the game and carried a shutout into the seventh before Detroit lost 2-0 and was swept. Fister hardly needed that Japanese good luck figurine that appeared in the NL East champions’ dugout Monday morning courtesy of backup catcher Jose Lobaton. The right-hander, who grew up about two hours away in the Central Valley city of Merced, gave up four hits, struck out three and walked three. Storen, the beleaguered closer who gave up the tying run in Game 2, allowed Brandon Crawford’s sacrifice fly in the ninth before finishing the 2-hour, 47-minute game. It was a far cry from Game 2, which took a post-seasonrecord 6:23. Five days after pitching a four-hitter in an 8-0 wild-card win at Pittsburgh, Bumgarner was on a roll again, this time for the orange towel-waving sellout home crowd of 43,627. Ian Desmond singled to start the decisive seventh and Harper walked to bring up Ramos, who began the season as the Nationals’ cleanup hitter. Harper slid into home for the second run, hopped up and hollered in triumph. Bumgarner hadn’t given up a postseason run since Carlos Beltran homered in the fourth inning of the Giants’ Game 1 loss of the 2012 NLCS in St. Louis.

A new NHL season is here, and we’re already hearing the mainstream pundits making predictions based on hopes, dreams and baby unicorn sightings. Things like whether Ryan Kesler’s “fresh start” in Anaheim will once again make him an offensive force. Or whether the Bruins will “get their mojo back” after a disappointing early playoff exit. Some may go a little deeper and give a vague nod to actual numbers. So you might hear about how David Clarkson is due for a “bounceback” year and will score 20 or more goals. Even a blind squirrel finds the occasional nut, and if you make enough predictions, well ... you’ll probably be right sometimes. But can we do better? One official NHL stat that routinely gets overlooked by most commentators is shooting percentage, which is simply the percentage of all shots on net that go in. So, for example, last season Ben Smith led all Blackhawks with a fiveon-five shooting percentage of 15.4 per cent, meaning a little under one in every six of his shots went in. But because Smith either missed the net or had his shot blocked 42.2 per cent of the time, that number’s somewhat misleading. In order to give a better picture of what happens every time Smith shoots the puck, we like to track a statistic called true shooting percentage (True Sh%), which is the percentage of all shot attempts (regardless of whether they hit the net, miss or are blocked) that go in. True Sh% is a much better indicator of how good a shooter Smith really is. And as it turns out, at 8.9 per cent, Smith’s True Sh% was pretty good as well. Jonathan Toews, meanwhile, looks less lethal at first glance (fiveon-five shooting percentage of 13.5), but because he missed the net or was blocked only 31.6 per cent of the time, Toews’s True Sh% (9.2 per cent) was actually better than Smith’s. At the other end of the spectrum is Alex Ovech-

Youngsters make mark in speedskating DUFFY, GERVAIS SOME OF NEW NAMES ADDED TO NATIONAL SHORT-TRACK TEAM BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — It is time for Patrick Duffy and other youngsters to show what they can do in World Cup shorttrack speedskating. Duffy is among eight new names on the Canadian team announced Monday to take part in the first four World Cup events of the 2014-15 season, which starts in November. “It’s fantastic that I’ve broken through,” the Oakville, Ont., skater said. “The past two years I’ve been on the edge of the team, but haven’t quite made it onto the world stage properly. “So I guess these four World Cups coming up is my time to shine, to show what I’m made of.” The men’s team did not have any retirements from last season, which featured the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi and the world championships in Montreal. But veteran Olivier Jean is taking the first half of the season off to finish up his kinesiology degree. On the women’s side, Jessica Gregg has moved on, Jessica Hewitt is still pondering her future and Marie-Eve

Drolet is on pregnancy leave, although she hopes at some point to return to racing. That left spots open for World Cups Nov, 7-9 in Salt Lake City, Nov. 14-16 in Montreal, Dec. 12-14 in Shanghai and Dec. 19-21 in Seoul. And it made for fierce battles at a selection camp last month in Calgary. Charles Hamelin of Ste-Julie, Que., his brother Francois Hamelin (now based in Calgary), Charle Cournoyer of Boucherville, Que. and Guillaume Bastille of Riviere-du-Loup, Que., are back with the men’s team and Marianne St-Gelais of Saint-Felicien, Que., and Valerie Maltais of Saguenay, Que., for the women. New comers Duffy and Samuel Girard of Ferland-Boileau, Que., will skate in the first four World Cups while Yoan Gauthier of Riviere-du-Loup and Samuel Belanger-Marceau of St-Bruno, Que., will only be in the first two. Sasha Alexander Fathoullin of Calgary and Francois Hamelin will take over in the next two events. For the women, Maltais, Kim Boutin of Sherbrooke, Que., and Kasandra Bradette of Saint-Felicien wil skate in all four, while Courtney Shmyr of Lan-

gley, B.C. will be in the first two and Namasthee Harris-Gauthier of Montreal and Audrey Phaneuf of Boucherville will appear in the two Asian events. It is the first year of a new four-year Olympic cycle and skaters like Duffy see it as a first step toward qualification for the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. “The timing’s perfect,” he said. “It’ll be an ideal experience to help me grow as a skater.” It helps that three-time Olympic gold medallist Charles Hamelin decided to skate through another Olympic cycle. The 30-year-old is the team’s most accomplished and experienced racer. “Having someone like Charles around, with the success he’s had, to lead this new generation of short-trackers is huge,” said men’s team coach Derrick Campbell. “But guys like Bastille and Chournoyer are still with the group. They provide leadership, but they’re getting better too. They’re still on the radar.” Campbell likes what he’s seen of Duffy, who ended last season ranked eighth in Canada. “He’s refined his racing skills,” he

said. “He doesn’t have a lot of World Cup experience, but he has a savvyness in his racing style that is the cornerstone of his improvement.” What Charles Hamelin provides for the men’s team, his partner St-Gelais will bring to the women. St-Gelais said it will likely take most of this season to get the relay squad synchronized, but she welcomes new blood. “If I want to be on top, I need to work every day because they’re young, they’re good and they want to be on top too, so I have to work really hard,” she said. “For the relay, we lost both Jessicas and Marie-Eve. “That’s lot of experience, but I’m comfortable with that. They’re hungry, they want to win but we need to get to know each other.” The highlight for newcomers like Gervais will be the World Cup in Montreal, which is held at the Maurice Richard Arena where most of the team trains. “I was training and I was thinking ’at World Cup, people will be screaming Go Canada’ and it was a good feeling,” said Gervais. “I can’t wait to be on the ice.”

CFL East division teams brace for race to playoffs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Ricky Ray and the Toronto Argonauts won’t have to venture far to make their late-season run to the CFL playoffs. Toronto’s final five regular-season games are against East Division rivals, with four being at Rogers Centre. The Argos (5-8) are tied with the Montreal Alouettes for second in the division behind the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6-7). Toronto hosts Hamilton on Friday and again Oct. 25 and will play Montreal twice before finishing its regular season Nov. 7 at Rogers Centre against the Ottawa RedBlacks. “It’s going to come down to these last games and fortunately for us, we have a lot of them at home,” Ray said. “It’s going to be nice to be playing in the dome late in the year when the weather can be a little iffy. “You don’t have to go out there and worry about any conditions, you just go out there and play.” How much of an advantage Rogers Centre will be is certainly up for debate as Toronto averages 17,305 fans per game there. But Argos head coach Scott Milanovich said there are definite benefits playing at home. “It’s nice not to have to travel,” he said. “Our guys are used to the surface maybe more than other teams and Ricky tends to play very well here.” Hamilton will also play its last five regular-season games against East Division competition. In addition to playing Toronto twice, the Ticats will take on Ottawa two times before facing Montreal at Tim Hortons Field on Nov. 8. Hamilton is the CFL’s hottest team, having won four straight and five of its last six. The Ticats will be on the road for three of their last five, not ideal considering they’re a dismal 1-5 outside of Steeltown this season. But they’re 4-0 at Tim Hortons Field and would certainly be a factor there come the playoffs. Here’s a look at the late-season scenarios facing all eight CFL teams: East Division Hamilton Tiger-Cats Hamilton is 5-1 since the return of quarterback Zach Collaros, who missed five games with concussion-like symptoms. But also anchoring the club’s resurgence has been a stout defence that’s allowed 104 points in the last six games and just 55 in the four games at Tim Hortons Field. The Ticats beat Toronto 13-12 in the first-ever game there, and Saturday night Justin Medlock booted six field goals in a 19-17 home victory over B.C. Hamilton’s last four wins have come against Western clubs.

Toronto Argonauts

Toronto has won two straight, both coming against West Division rivals. On Saturday, Swayze Waters hit sixof-seven field goals in a 33-32 home

victory over Edmonton. Four of the Argos’ wins this year have come against Western squads. The club is 3-2 at Rogers Centre but must beat Hamilton in the two games there to win the season series. Ray has veteran receivers Chad Owens and Jason Barnes back but slotback Andre Durie (clavicle) is out.

Montreal Alouettes

Montreal (5-8) hosts Saskatchewan this weekend sporting a 2-7 record against West Division teams. The Als control their playoff destiny with their final four games being against East rivals, including two against Toronto. Montreal has won two straight and four of its last five. Jonathan Crompton has emerged as the starter despite having thrown nearly twice as many interceptions (seven) as TD passes (four). The club’s regular-season finale in Hamilton on Nov. 8 could have interesting playoff implications.

Ottawa RedBlacks

Ottawa (2-11) snapped an ugly ninegame losing streak with a 42-20 victory over Winnipeg last weekend. With five regular-season games left, the RedBlacks remain mathematically in playoff contention, but barely. Three of Ottawa’s remaining contests are on the road, where the Renegades are 0-6. Points have been an issue all season as Ottawa had scored 69 points combined over the previous six games — 32 coming in an overtime loss to Saskatchewan — before erupting against the Bombers.

Calgary Stampeders

Calgary (12-2) hasn’t let injuries derail its season. Despite the absence of such stars as running back Jon Cornish, quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell and rush end Charleston Hughes, the Stampeders are the lone CFL team to have clinched a playoff spot. When they resume league action next week, they’ll have four games remaining (two home, two away), all against West Division competition. Calgary is 6-1 both at home and on the road this season.

Edmonton Eskimos

Edmonton (9-5) was impressive in a 24-0 win over Saskatchewan on Sept. 26, then was flagged 18 times for 224 yards in Saturday’s 33-32 road loss to Toronto. But the Eskimos are still tied with the Riders for second in West Division with two head-to-head meetings upcoming against the defending Grey Cup champions. The Edmonton squad will also face conference rivals B.C. and Winnipeg.

B.C. (7-7) has lost three straight yet

remains very much in playoff contention. Third in the West isn’t out of reach with Edmonton and Saskatchewan meeting twice. The Lions host Ottawa on Saturday before visiting Winnipeg on Oct. 25 and then Commonwealth Stadium on Nov. 1. A fourthplace finish would most likely secure B.C. the third playoff seed in the East Division so staying ahead of the Bombers is imperative.

The Red Deer College Kings men’s basketball team went 1-2 at the CIS/ ACAC showcase in Edmonton on the weekend. They opened the tournament with an 84-65 loss to Canadian Interuniversity Sport’s University of Northern British Columbia. Second year transfer Benny Bankaso led the Kings with 16 points and six rebounds while JP Leblanc chipped in with 12 points. The Kings faced another CIS team in their second game, losing 96-77 to the Mount Royal University Cougars. Brian Prenoslo paced the Kings with 14 points and 10 rebounds and Bankaso once again lead the Kings in scoring with 16 points. The Kings finished off against Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference rival, the Lakeland Rustlers, on Sunday, coming out on top 68-62. Import Marcellus Clay registered a double-double for RDC with 14 points and 10 rebounds and Leblanc added 10 more points. “It’s nice to get your first win,” said RDC King head coach Clay Pottinger in an email. “We still have a lot of work to do. Right now we need to get healthy and get back to practising.”

Dots will be staying open BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF An “unprecedented” customer reaction and renegotiated lease have convinced the owners of Red Deer’s Dots Discount Designer Wear to keep the downtown store open. The women’s clothing shop that was supposed to close at the end of the month was given a late reprieve this week. “We’ve never seen anything like it,” said the chain’s general manager and chief financial officer Anne Simard, from Edmonton. “Hundreds and hundreds” of emails and phone calls came in from loyal Dots customers and other

downtown business owners, who did not want the destination store to shut down, she added. “We’ve had overwhelming response from people asking us to reconsider ... so when the landlord contacted us, we decided to sit down with our long-term staff to come up with a plan.” After rejigging a few business decisions at the Edmonton head office, she added, “we’re excited to be able to stay in Red Deer.” She added the chain has opened and closed various stores over the years “and we’ve never had a response to a store closing like this. Red Deer really rallied.” The store owners were able to renegotiate a fiveyear lease at the 4952 50th St. location, which was a

“huge part” of what made the store’s continued operation possible. But Simard said the reaction from customers and supportive long-term staff at the store really made the difference. Many people who wrote or called said shopping at Dots brought them to the downtown. Others work in Red Deer’s core and liked going to Dots during their lunch hours or after work. She hopes these people will continue to support the Red Deer store. Dots also has outlets in Edmonton, Calgary, Medicine Hat, Saskatoon, Regina and Victoria. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Park Plaza has coffee once again THE COFFEE SHOP FILLS THE VOID LEFT WITH CLOSURE OF GROUNDED COFFEE & CAFE BY ADVOCATE STAFF The coffee is on again at the Red Deer Park Plaza office building. The Coffee Shop started pouring at the 5214 47th Ave. building last Wednesday, filling the void left by the recent closure of Grounded Coffee & Cafe. Karen Pajak, who owns the new business with Trish Bogart, said The Coffee Shop hopes to entice customers with more than just hot and cold beverages. It offers a range of food that includes homemade soups, sandwiches, panninis and pies, as well as feature items like quiche. “We have a breakfast plate and a breakfast sandwich,” Pajak added, stressing that everything is made on-site. “We make our own pastries, we make our own buns, we cook the meat — we don’t buy anything premade.” She estimates that The Coffee Shop has space for about 100 customers, and said a couple initiatives are in the works to make it a gathering place for seniors and others. These include a possible games area, where patrons could play cards, and a reading area with books available for use. Grounded Coffee & Cafe, which opened a year ago, had been operated by McMan Youth, Family & Community Services Association as a source of funding for its programs.

Postmedia pays $316 million for most of Sun Media

IN

BRIEF Chevron Canada signs deal to sell 30 per cent stake in Duvernay for US$1.5B

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Postmedia is bulking up its ammunition against Facebook and Twitter by spending more than $316 million to purchase most of Sun Media, an effort it hopes will help stop the steady erosion of its advertising business. The move will make the owner of the National Post, and a slate of other digital news properties, a significantly larger national media player and allow it to tap further into the struggling newspaper industry as it builds its online network of websites. “We need this scale, and of course time, to be able to compete with the giant foreign-owned, digital-only companies like Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, etc.,” Postmedia CEO Paul Godfrey said in a news conference on Monday. Buying Quebecor’s English-language operations puts a lot of options at Postmedia’s disposal, including 175 traditional newspapers and publications, like the Sun chain of dailies, the London Free Press and the 24 Hours dailies in Toronto and Vancouver. Postmedia also pockets valuable real estate that could soon be on the sales block, as it focuses on assets like the Canoe.ca national news website, which is part of the acquired properties. “Digital audiences are unbelievably valuable to this strategic acquisition,” Godfrey said. “Over time, our hope is that Canoe and all of the other related websites may very well become the jewel of the deal.” The sale is subject to approval by the Competition Bureau. However, even with the purchase, Postmedia will still be dwarfed by the reach of its Silicon Valley competitors in the social media world. Google’s advertising division, for example, allows an advertiser to purchase banner ads that run on thousands of popular websites, as well as video spots featured on YouTube. Facebook and Twitter both sell ads that are seamlessly integrated into each user’s news feeds. Some of the country’s biggest media outlets have complained that advertisers, who were once devoted to buying space on their newspapers and websites, are now taking their money to social media operators because of their more favourable rates and massive reach. Postmedia (TSX:PNC.B) is one of the most aggressive Canadian media companies in the digital space. The company launched a redesigned version of the Ottawa Citizen earlier this year, which included a new look for the newspaper and website as well as new apps for smartphones and tablets. It also expects to redesign most of its other newspapers, except the National Post and Vancouver Province, by next summer. All of these ventures have been expensive and merging its content with the new Sun Media assets will almost certainly cost Postmedia more. The company, however, said it expects to find annual savings of $6 million to $10 million from the Sun Media deal within two years, but did not say where it hopes to economize. Godfrey said the company has been aggressively cutting some business areas to save money, such as

Postmedia newspapers, including the National Post and Ottawa Citizen, are shown with Quebecor Media’s Ottawa Sun. Postmedia Network announced it would purchase 175 of Quebecor’s English language newspapers, including the Toronto Sun and Ottawa Sun. centralizing the editorial production of newspaper pages at a facility in Hamilton, Ont., and closing printing plants across the country. Postmedia has also ended the publication of many Sunday newspapers and sold its original headquarters in Toronto. There are no immediate plans for layoffs, though Godfrey didn’t rule them out either. Despite its efforts, Postmedia is still deep in debt, owing nearly half a billion dollars and posting a loss of $20.6 million in the last quarter. “The newspaper business is pretty much a mug’s game right now, and you have to have awfully deep pockets to make a newspaper work,” said Jeffrey Dvorkin, director of journalism at the University of Toronto Scarborough. “My worry is that stripping out assets from Sun Media might be one way of doing that.” Selling off parts of Sun Media could help Postmedia’s generate cash for its debts. Sun Media owns 34 real estate properties in Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba, which include a Toronto printing plant and a pagination centre in Barrie, Ont., which handles all of its Ontario newspapers. Both are prime candidates to be merged with Postmedia’s existing operations. Sun Media has undergone its own changes in recent years, including the sale of the Toronto Sun’s building in downtown Toronto to a developer, which has turned it into mixed retail and office space. Quebecor president and chief executive Pierre Dion said the deal comes at a time when the Canadian newspaper business needs consolidation to remain viable and to compete with digital media.

CALGARY — A division of Kuwait’s national oil company is making an entry into Alberta’s promising Duvernay shale, buying a 30 per cent stake in Chevron Canada Ltd.’s holdings in the region for US$1.5 billion. The investment is the first in North America by Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration, a subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corp. “This project will provide diversified, material, long-life reserves, production and upside in a lowrisk business environment, with strong and stable cash flows for decades to come,” KUFPEC chief executive Shaikh Nawaf Saud Nasir Al-Sabah said in a statement. Chevron Canada, a division of the Californiabased energy giant, will hold a 70 per cent interest in the joint venture and will remain the operator of the project, which spans more than 133,000 hectares. Chevron said Monday the deal creates a partnership for the appraisal and development of the project in the Kaybob area of the Duvernay, about 200 kilometres northwest of Edmonton. “This sale demonstrates our focus on strategically managing our portfolio to maximize the value of our global upstream businesses and is consistent with our partnership strategy,” said Jay Johnson, Chevron’s senior vice-president. “The transaction provides us an expanded relationship with a valued partner. It also recognizes the outstanding asset base we have assembled.” The price includes the amount paid at closing as well as a portion of Chevron Canada’s share of the joint venture’s future capital costs. The deal is expected to close in November.

Petronas says ’consensus’ on LNG terms in next few weeks is ’critical’ CALGARY — Petronas says its multibillion-dollar investment in B.C. liquefied natural gas could be delayed by at least a decade unless it can “secure consensus” with its government counterparts by the end of October. The CEO of the Malaysian energy giant issued his statement on the same day the B.C. legislature was set to kick off its new session, which is expected to be dominated by LNG. Shamsul Abbas says the proposed fiscal package and regulatory pace in Canada threatens the global competitiveness of the Pacific Northwest LNG project. He says in his company’s last portfolio review exercise, the economics of Pacific Northwest LNG appeared “marginal” and that it would have a “tough time” deciding by the end of this year whether to build it. He says his company was “encouraged” by discussions it had last week with Premier Christy Clark and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman. He also says Petronas will continue to work with Ottawa and federal agencies on ways to advance the regulatory process and clarify the fiscal framework.

WASHINGTON — About 400 people will gather this week to work on a plan to more closely harmonize Canadian and American industrial regulations across a wide range of sectors. Industry groups and government regulators from both countries will meet Wednesday in Washington as part of an ongoing project to whittle down costly regulatory differences. The sessions come as federal agencies in both countries are drafting public statements, due for release early next year, that must explain how they’ll work with their cross-border counterparts to reduce duplication. A Canadian official leading the discussion said there’s been a sea change in attitudes since the Regulatory Cooperation Council initiative was first announced three years ago by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama. Robert Carberry, an official at Canada’s Privy Council Office, recalled the skeptical initial reaction from every federal regulator in both countries. “When I said, ’We’re here for economic competitiveness,’ (every) department (on) both sides of the border said the same thing: ’You’re in the wrong place. We do health and safety. We have nothing to do with the economy,”’ Carberry said Monday. “That’s gone away. They’re all seeing opportunity in this now.” The conversations between the U.S. and Canada and between the U.S. and Mexico are harbingers of a global movement that will take off in the coming decade, with regulatory co-operation embedded in future trade deals, Carberry predicted. As for concrete examples, Carberry offered a few: —Lipstick with SPF protection can

TRUST

be sold as lipstick in the U.S., but not in Canada, where it’s considered a medical product. The result: it costs $700 to get it to market in the U.S., and $700,000 in Canada. —For veterinary drugs, Canada and the U.S. are already moving to streamline the approval process. —On vehicle standards, the two countries have begun sharing data from their test facilities, which Carberry said can save $100,000 per test. —There are separate standards for children’s car seats, he said, simply because the regulations developed in separate silos. “We both love our babies the same — there’s no difference there,” he said. “And there are thousands and thousands of those kinds of examples out there.” Some industries are more challenging than others. He pointed to food safety as one particularly complex area, given overlapping rules and responsibilities for single products. In one example cited by industry, a can of vegetable soup in the U.S. falls under the Food And Drug Administration — but if it’s beef and veggie soup, responsibility falls under the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Some observers are expressing concern about the possible consequences of the process. They fear that the practical result of regulatory co-operation might really be deregulation, and less public safety. The group Environmental Defence said Canada has, for example, banned or restricted over 500 chemicals from personal-care products. It said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has cited only 200 products for similar safety risks, and banned only five. In a statement, the group said it supports increased scientific co-operation and sharing data. But it said it will be watching this week’s developments closely, and cautiously.

Public school sale eyed LONGTIME TENANT KOINONIA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL HOPES TO BUY BUILDING BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The Red Deer Public School District wants to sell the old North School. Koinonia Christian School, which has been operating in the building for the past 20 years, wants to buy it. But what lies between is a complicated process that could be set in motion on Wednesday when public school board trustees start discussions about divesting the district of one of its older properties. North School, built in about 1950, has not been used as a public school

for many years. The building at 6014 57th Ave. has been leased to the private Koinonia Christian School for the last two decades. “The terms of the lease are expiring, so we’ll be looking at selling the property to get rid of it, to get it off of our inventory,” said Red Deer Public board chair Bev Manning. The North School is not to be confused with North Cottage School — which sits on the same Riverside Meadows lot and will continue to be operated as an alternative high school by the Red Deer Public School District. Manning said there are no plans to

sell the more historic North Cottage School. “We’re keeping that as a Red Deer Public alternative high school.” But if the school board votes to sell the North School next door (which now contains Koinonia school), it will have to apply to the city to subdivide the property. The Education minister will also have to approve these plans. Manning said a provincial process will have to be followed, including getting several property appraisals and putting out a public tender for the sale. “We don’t have to accept a bid that’s too low, and it has to be an open and transparent process.” City property zoning for the site will

also have to be taken into consideration. Vern Rand is principal of Koinonia, which has 215 kindergarten to Grade 12 students and 35 children in the preschool program. He said his Christian school is interested in buying the older building. It needs upgrades, particularly in the washrooms, but “is still usable,” he added. Until public school trustees vote to sell the structure, Rand said his district can’t really consult with parents, or come up with a plan or offer to buy it. “It’s a lengthy process where nothing happens overnight.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Block heater timers offered CITY SEEKS TO SAVE RESIDENTS MONEY, CUT EMISSIONS BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF The City of Red Deer is giving away 500 block heater timers to help residents save money and reduce their environmental footprint. Block heater timers plug into an outlet and the block heater plugs into the timer. Users set the timer for when the heater should turn on and off. Katina Tam, the city’s environmental program specialist, said the initiative aims to bring awareness about energy savings associated with block heaters. The timers cost about $19 each. Environment Canada recommends that vehicles are warmed only two

hours before driving instead of what is often the case: up to 12 hours during the night. It is estimated that users could save about $48 per season on their power bill. Tam said if Red Deer drivers warmed up their vehicle blocks for two to three hours instead of 12, more than 24,000 tonnes of CO2 would be removed annually, or the equivalent of 5,448 vehicles taken off the road. The yearly energy savings could power 4,150 additional homes. Residents interested in participating in the Block Heater Timer program are urged to fill out an application form and bring it to the Parkland Mall on Oct. 17 and Bower Place on Oct. 18,

Man attempts to lure boy into brown van; police seek your help Red Deer RCMP are searching for a man who attempted to lure an 11-yearold boy into his vehicle a week ago. RCMP said on Monday that the boy was playing in the Aspen Ridge Park in the Anders neighbourhood on Sept. 29 at about 7 p.m. when a man drove a van past him, then pulled over and invited the boy to get into the van. The boy ignored the man and quickly departed the area. The van did not follow him but he saw it drive past his home a few moments later. The man is described as Caucasian, in his 40s, wearing a flat-brimmed black hat with a brown front and the word “Quicksilver” on it. The hair that

was visible under his cap was short and grey/white. He was clean shaven and not wearing glasses. He spoke in a high-pitched voice. The van is described as an older model van, light brown, dirty, with rust on the side and back tinted windows. There were no decals or stickers and no spare tire on the back. Red Deer RCMP only issued a release on the incident on Monday. Anyone with information that may assist the police in identifying this suspect is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

from noon to 3 p.m. on both days. Residents must provide a driver’s licence that displays a city address. Timers will be provided while supplies last, on a first-come first-served basis. There is a limit of one timer per driver. “The city is committed to reducing energy consumption and wants to help residents do the same in their own homes,” said Tam. The city will follow up with participants throughout the winter to see how it is going. Tam said the city will look for feedback at the end of the program.

The continuing influx of new students into Red Deer public schools is “a wonderful problem,” according to board chair Bev Manning. But it’s a problem nonetheless — leading the Red Deer Public School District trustees to discuss on Wednesday the construction of a new kindergarten to Grade 5 school in Inglewood, and how this will affect school boundaries in South Red Deer. Manning said most existing schools in this area, including Mountview, G.W. Smith and Grandview, are experiencing overcrowding, despite the addition of some portable classrooms. The situation was somewhat eased for Mattie McCullough Elementary School when 100 of its students were sent to the newly opened École Barrie Wilson Elementary School this fall in Timberstone. Manning believes the students who stayed at Mattie McCullough were able to regain use of their library, which was previously repurposed as classroom space. But Barrie Wilson, which was built to accommodate just over 300 students, already has more than 400, so will soon also need a portable classroom, she added. “The south side is just bursting with children,” said Manning, and new neighbourhoods are still being developed in Red Deer. Timberstone is still growing to the north, Clearview Ridge is expanding to the west, Vanier Woods has lots available, and she noted the new Laredo subdivision east of Lancaster will include some high-density apartments. Public school trustees will discuss this week how to rejig the boundaries of existing schools to alleviate some crowding when the new 500-student elementary school opens in Inglewood. It has already been approved by the provincial government and is expected to be completed by the fall of 2017. “We’re looking at having some community consultations, so the public can provide us with input,” said Manning. No dates have been set yet, but she believes some meetings will be held early in 2015. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Woman injured in home invasion Red Deer RCMP are looking for two suspects who broke into a West Park home and sent a woman to hospital on Sept. 25. Police say a woman was sleeping when a man and woman broke into her home around 1:15 a.m. The woman’s dogs began barking, alerting her that someone was in the home. The two suspects entered the woman’s bedroom, where the man assaulted the resident while she tried to defend herself. The victim was treated at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre and released the same morning. The suspects left the residence with the victim’s purse, some jewelry and two long-barrel firearms. Police say the two suspects had at-

tempted unsuccessfully to break into a neighbouring residence before entering the victim’s home. The man is described as 25-yearsold, 1.68 metres to 1.7 metres (five-footsix to five-foot-seven) tall with blonde hair and a slim build. He has no facial hair or tattoos. He was wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans. The woman is described as being in her early 20s with dark hair and possibly aboriginal.

that require a plumbing permit do not qualify for rebates. Residents do not need a permit if simply replacing an existing toilet. For more information on this program, visit www.reddeer.ca/ toiletrebate.

Replace your old toilet; get a rebate from the city

Book city facilities for use next year

The City of Red Deer is encouraging residents to tank their old leaky toilets and go low flow as part of Home Renovation Month in October. Residents who replace their old toilets with low-flow models can apply for a rebate through the city’s residential toilet rebate program. Since the program’s inception in 2008, homeowners have received rebates for replacing more than 4,000 old toilets with low-flow or dual-flush toilets. That’s more than an estimated 131 million litres of water saved. To qualify for a rebate, applicants must own residential property within Red Deer, have a current utility account and purchase a qualifying toilet. The city offers $25 rebates for homeowners who replace high-flow toilets with low-flow toilets (six litres or less) and $50 rebates for dual-flush toilets, and credits the applicant’s utility account. Once the new toilet is installed, homeowners can fill out the application form, attach the original receipt, and recycle the old toilet at the city’s waste management facility. All interior parts and components must be removed. Residents must get their toilet disposal verification stamp on their application form. Toilets use more water than any other appliance in the home and account for about a third of the average household’s water use. Replacing just one 20-litre toilet with an efficient six-litre low flow toilet will save more than 25,000 litres of water per person every year. Katina Tam, Environmental Program Specialist, said replacing old toilets with low-flow toilets has significant household water savings and by participating in the rebate program, residents are reducing water consumption in Red Deer and reducing landfill waste. Toilets installed as part of new construction or during renovations

It’s time to book facilities for next year’s sporting events, special events and meetings. Red Deer’s Recreation Department is booking applications for its recreation facilities for the spring, summer and fall of 2015. The deadline to apply is Nov. 7. The list includes the pools at the Recreation Centre, G.H. Dawe Community Centre and Michener Aquatic Centre, and the meeting rooms at the Collicutt Centre, G.H. Dawe Community Centre, Recreation Centre, Kinex Arena, Kinsmen Community Arenas and Red Deer Arena. Other areas include dry space at the Collicutt Centre Arena and Field House, G.H. Dawe Arena and Gymnasium, Kinex Arena, Kinsmen Community Arenas and Red Deer Arena. Ice time is also available at the Collicutt Centre Arena, G.H. Dawe Arena, Kinex Arena, Kinsmen Community Arenas and Red Deer Arena. For a full list and application information, visit www.reddeer.ca/ recreation-and-culture/facility-andpark-rentals/.

No Springbrook bus service on Wednesday, Thursday Regional bus service to Springbrook from Red Deer is expected to be suspended on Wednesday and Thursday because of rail crossing work. Canadian Pacific Railway is planning to do crossing maintenance work at Township Road 372 west of Hwy 2A. It is the only route into Springbrook for buses. Gasoline Alley service will continue as usual.

Drug trials separated Two men who face a series of drug trafficking, gun and gang-related charges will be tried separately and in

separate jurisdictions. Jordan Hoelscher, 32, and Croft Monroe-Bowes, 35, were both arrested in late 2012 on gang charges. On Monday in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench, Crown prosecutor Dave Inglis asked to have the two accused face separate trials. Hoelscher’s lawyer Simon Renouf of Edmonton and Inglis said they could find an earlier trial date if Justice Charlene Anderson granted a change of venue motion to Edmonton. Inglis said the charges related in some manner to Edmonton, strengthening the application to move the trial there. Had it remained in Red Deer, the trial would likely not have happened until 2016. However, with the change of venue motion granted, Hoelscher’s trial before a judge and jury is set to start on Sept. 28, 2015, in Edmonton Court of Queen’s Bench. Monroe-Bowes does not have counsel at this time. However, a trial has been scheduled for April 25, 2016, before a judge alone in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench. Monroe-Bowes was confident he could obtain counsel before the 2016 trial date. Both were arrested as part of a bust that Red Deer RCMP executed on Dec. 20, 2012, with three raids on homes.

Fraud trial date set A Blackfalds woman faces a trial in March 2016 for her alleged role in a fraud and forgery scheme from a Central Alberta car dealer. Brenda-Lee Campbell, 51, a former comptroller for Red Deer Toyota, will be tried on March 7, 2016, in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench. She is accused of defrauding Red Deer Toyota of hundreds of thousands of dollars over a five-year period. She is charged with two counts of fraud over $5,000, one count of uttering a forged document, and one count of falsification of books and documents.

Lindsay Rae Mazzei, 41, is one of three people the Crown believe were involved in a scam where several Red Deer men were beaten and robbed after they tried to hire an escort online in late spring 2013. Mazzei faces charges including extortion, robbery and identity theft in relation to the incident. Mark William Bitterman, 32, is also accused in the matter and he hasn’t entered a plea. Florian Edward Poitra, 32, pleaded guilty on Oct. 31, 2013, to his role in the incident. He was sentenced to four years in custody. Mazzei’s one-day trial in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench before a judge alone is scheduled for Nov. 26 of this year.

charged with second degree murder in the death of Dana Jane Turner in 2011. Turner’s body was found in a ditch near Innisfail. Appearing by closed circuit television from the Edmonton Remand Centre on Monday, Lindsay entered the video-conferencing room with his head tilted to one side. He then sat down on the floor, out of view of the videoconferencing camera for the duration of his arraignment. Now represented by Kent Teskey of Edmonton, Lindsay was asked to stand several times by an Alberta courts sheriff, but refused. Teskey said a 2013 mental assessment was not accurate as he learned Lindsay may have had access to illicit drugs at the time of his assessment. He added the bulk of the trial scheduled for three weeks would be dealing with Lindsay’s mental health and whether he was criminally responsible. Teskey requested a new assessment be ordered by Justice Charlene Anderson and that Lindsay be remanded to Alberta Hospital in Edmonton for such a purpose. In light of these developments, a new trial is now scheduled to start on Feb. 16, 2016, in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench before a judge and jury. Lindsay will be back in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Nov. 3 pending the outcome of his assessment.

EXTREME ESTEEM

We’re so busy looking for milestones that we miss the precious (irretrievable) moments of wonder including the one passing before us right now. If we look back over the events that had the greatest impact on our lives, we’ll discover our motivation and catch an insightful glimpse into what we believed to be true at the time. What people, places or events frightened us and caused us to withdraw and what of the same drew us closer? A single moment can send us off in a direction that we never imagined possible. Looking back over my life, I can see many moments that dramatically impacted my self-esteem, especially during my formative years.

I can see moments that sent me down a path of despair, fear and selfloathing. I can also see moments that inspired me. I can now discern the moment when the old way of being could no longer be sustained and needed to die. I see clearly the moment at which I became a seeker of knowledge and began my journey of self-esteem building. I can see the moments when old beliefs and values asserted themselves, and the milestones when those old beliefs and values were shattered and transcended forever.

STORY FROM PAGE C3

FUHRER: Live in the moment Throughout our lives, we all have experiences that change us, lead us to different conclusions or down different paths. These moments can take many different forms. For me, many of those early encounters were with people I looked to for guidance when I felt lost and frightened. In reflection, these moments brought about a deeper understanding of myself and life. In my experience, the best way to gain a foothold in life and exercise any control of where we go and what happens to us is to embrace the moments. A lot has been said and written about living in the moment and, though it’s not always easy to do, it does offer the best possibility for a happy and successful outcome. When we live in the moment — neither lost in the past nor projecting fearfully into the future — we can seize the moment. We can choose a wellconsidered response. We can correct our course. We can design a realistic action plan. Resolve negative emotions. Take action to resolve any negative feelings you may have toward yourself and others. Are you carrying a grudge? Is there someone toward whom you still harbour resentment? Forgive yourself, free yourself and leave your burdens behind you. “If we take care of the moments,” wrote Maria Edgeworth, the prolific AngloIrish writer of children’s literature, “the years will take care of themselves. Acknowledge the moments and celebrate the milestones. Choose to live in the moment but keep an eye fixed to the bright and joyous future — the milestone that your are creating. Murray Fuhrer is a self-esteem expert and facilitator. His new book is entitled Extreme Esteem: The Four Factors. For more information on self-esteem, check the Extreme Esteem website at www.extremeesteem.ca.

Freak Show gets red carpet treatment LOS ANGELES — Hollywood rolled out the red carpet on Sunday for the premiere of Freak Show, the fourth season of the FX network’s American Horror Story series. Debuting Wednesday, this AHS chapter set in Jupiter, Fla., in 1952 revolves around one of the last touring companies of physically different humans. The attraction includes a bearded lady, a woman with two heads and another with three breasts.

BRIEF Geoffrey Holder, Tony Award-winning director and memorable 7-Up pitch man, dies at 84 NEW YORK — Geoffrey Holder, a Tony Award-winning director, actor, painter, dancer and choreographer who during an eclectic show business career led the groundbreaking show The Wiz to Broadway, pitched 7-Up on TV and played a scary villain in a James Bond film, has died. He was 84. Holder died Geoffrey Holder Sunday of complications of pneumonia at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital in New York, according to Anna Glass, a producer and family friend. The 6-foot-6, Trinidad-born Holder won Tonys in 1975 for directing and designing the costumes for his all-black retelling of The Wizard of Oz. In 1978, he directed and choreographed the lavish Broadway musical Timbuktu! starring

The problem is that business is bad, forcing owner Elsa Mars (portrayed by Jessica Lange) to go to great lengths to assure that the show goes on. The show’s co-creator Ryan Murphy said Lange came up with the concept. “I think back in season one, she said, ‘We’ve got to do carnival, freak shows,’ and she kept sending me books,” he said. With his creative partner Brad Falchuk, Murphy eventually embraced the idea. He wanted the show to imbue a spooky, early 1950s sci-fi feel, and he wanted to give Sarah Paulson an impossible role. Eartha Kitt and earned another Tony nomination for best costumes. On TV, Holder played roles on TV’s Tarzan, voiced the leader on the PBS Kids animated show Cyberchase and pitched 7-Up as “the un-cola” in a commercial in which he wore a white suit and hat, purring “maaarvelous” as he drank the soda. During 1955 and 1956, Holder was a principal dancer with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet in New York. He also appeared with his troupe, Geoffrey Holder and Company and worked with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Pennsylvania Ballet and Dance Theatre of Harlem. His film roles include playing Punjab in the 1982 film version of Annie, a role in 1967’s Doctor Dolittle with Rex Harrison, opposite Eddie Murphy in Boomerang, narrating Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and playing the top-hatted voodoo villain Baron Samedi in Live and Let Die — the first of the 007 movies to star Roger Moore. Holder co-authored and illustrated a collection of Caribbean folklore, Black Gods, Green Islands in 1959, and had a book of recipes, Geoffrey Holder’s Caribbean Cookbook in 1973. He painted throughout his life and received a Guggenheim fellowship in fine arts in 1956. He is survived by his wife, the dancer Carmen de Lavallade and their son, Leo.

She plays the characters of Bette and Dot Tattler, conjoined twins who may be the star attraction that Elsa’s show desperately needs. Paulson called the roles “the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my life.” She said the characters’ heads can’t turn to look into each other’s eyes. “And that’s a hard thing to do, to act with yourself,” Paulson explained. “I like to act looking at others’ faces, like Kathy Bates’.” The premiere attracted almost all members of the large AHS ensemble, including cast members who are physi-

TORONTO — Miriam Toews, David Bezmozgis and Frances Itani are among the finalists for the lucrative Scotiabank Giller Prize. Rounding out the short list, announced this morning, is Sean Michaels, Heather O’Neill and Padma Viswanathan. This year the prize purse has increased to $140,000, with $100,000 to the winner and $10,000 to each finalist. Organizers say that makes it the richest fiction prize in Canada. Twelve authors previously made the long list for the prize, which recognizes the best in English-language fiction. This year, 161 books were submitted by 63 publishers. The jury panel consists of Canadian author Shauna Singh Baldwin, British novelist Justin Cartwright, and American writer Francine Prose. The Scotiabank Giller Prize will air on CBC-TV on Nov. 10. Toews is nominated for All My Puny Sorrows, while Bezmozgis is up for The Betrayers and Itani is in the running for Tell. Michaels is in contention for Us Conductors, O’Neill for The Girl Who Was Saturday Night and Viswanathan for The Ever After of Ashwin Rao.

bum last year) is trying to avoid being boxed into one genre. “I didn’t really fit in either world,” said Lecrae, 34, who’s been endorsed by both Kirk Franklin and Busta Rhymes. “But it’s telling to the gospel industry that there are people who crave a sound that is not traditional. To the mainstream industry, there’s a voice of faith from all walks of life.” Last month, his seventh album, Anomaly, became the first title to top Billboard’s Top 200 and Gospel Albums charts in the same week. He believes this success could help bring him closer to being embraced by both gospel and mainstream music. He’s been able to build a strong grassroots fan base with his Church Clothes mixtapes series, hosted by hip-hop producer DJ Don Cannon and featuring Bun B and B.o.B. He wants to provide thought-provoking messages of life in songs without sounding like a Bible-thumping preacher. “That’s all they know of me, so I have to reeducate with my presence,” Lecrae said. “Most of my interviews are comprised of do you drink? Do you smoke? Do you cuss? It’s going to be a process for me to continue to be in people’s faces and educating them on what my distinction is.” Lecrae doesn’t smoke and tries to refrain from using profanities. He sometimes drinks alcohol. His arms are covered with tattoos. He normally wears his hats tilted to the side. And he often wears slightly sagging pants. He knew that he was viewed as too gritty in the gospel world, and he had to overcome the perception that his curse-free rhymes are too clean in hip-hop culture.

They include the 2-foot tall Jyoti Amge, the world’s smallest living woman, and Erika Ervin, who, at 6-feet 8-inches, is dubbed “the world’s tallest professional model” by Guinness World Records. And yet there’s more to Freak Show than physical appearance. “I have always felt like a freak, from two years of age on,” explained the openly gay Murphy. “It really is a story of prejudice. And it is a story about people who are not the norm ... who just want to be appreciated and seen for who they are inside and outside.”

Do I need to take in daughter’s cats? Dear Annie: My daughter is getting a divorce and moving into an apartment that allows her to have two cats. The problem is, she has four cats. She asked whether I would take two of them. I live in another state. It would be difficult to get the cats here, and I don’t think I can handle them. The idea of cat hair everywhere, smelly litter boxes, clawed furniture and finding cats in my bed when I’m sleeping is just too stressful. And frankly, I don’t want to be tied down. My husband and I are retired and travel a lot. How do we tell our daughter that we can’t take her cats without causing her grief? I only want to make her happy. — Love Cats, But Not Here Dear Love Cats: We know you want to please your daughter, but this request is unfair to you, as well as to the unwanted cats. You have to say no. Does she have any

friends in her town who might take one or both of the cats? Is there a no-kill shelter where she could leave them for adoption or an animal rescue that could help find a foster home? Can she find another place to live where there is no restriction on the number of cats or offer her landlord a larger security deposit to cover the extra cats? Please remind yourself that the cats would not be better off with you, and then inform your daughter of your decision. Dear Annie: My father recently passed away. In his will, he left some money to my disabled daughter. My husband and I are her legal guardians and plan to put this money in a special needs trust per my father’s request. My sister feels I should share this money with her and her son, even though Dad left my sister a substantial amount of money.

HOROSCOPES

While we control how our daughter’s money is spent, we don’t feel it is ours to give away. But should we give some to my sister to keep the peace? — Inheritance Dilemma Dear Inheritance: If the bequest to your daughter was in your father’s will, you probably do not have the legal right to alter the terms. Since your sister has already received a “substantial” sum from Dad’s estate, we find it rather greedy that she wants to take money specifically designated for your daughter’s long-term care. Have the executor of the will (or a lawyer) explain to Sis that this is not possible. If it comes from a professional, it will help.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your work and home life balance will reach a point when something will have to happen in order for that peace to be established. Today will be the day when you should expect the unexpected to occur with family and at work. Understand that this is simply to create peace.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your direction with relationships is going one way at the start of the day and another way at the end. So what happens in between? First, you will be surprised by those at a distance and then you will change your perspective. Life will take a surprising turn now! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your spouse or business partner’s savings are going very well today, but there will be a shift in that area. Something unexpected will occur which will lead you to discuss these issues with them. Expect some extreme restlessness within established relationships now.

RICHES Lisa Bente 1965 - 2014 Born March, 13th, 1965, passed away in the very early morning of October 3rd, 2014 after a very hard fought and lengthy battle with cancer. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Doug Riches, son Dallen Riches, Step son Devin Riches, Step daughters, Miranda Riches and Tessa Dorosh, Mother Klara Lindstrom, Sister Donna (Ron) Roback, Brother John (Terry) Lindstrom and many more. Lisa was born in the town of Eckville and lived in Sylvan lake for her entire life. She was a very accomplished teacher and was well known for not only her career with special needs children but the knowledge she passed on to everyone who surrounded her. When she spoke about her teachings she lit up the room and you could hear the passion in her voice. Lisa also played a critical role in the operations at the Calida Greyhound Track, where she organized races, implemented events, and ran her own dogs. Some of Lisa’s most well-known dogs have blood lines around the world and are said to be some of the very best. Lisa touched the lives of many people and will be remembered mostly for her very courageous spirit, creative ideas and sense and infectious smile. The glass was always 1/2 full instead of half empty according to Lisa. “There are few things in life more satisfying than accomplishing whatever they tell you can’t be done” - Lisa Riches A celebration of her life will be held at the Sylvan Lake Legion (4916, 50th Ave Sylvan Lake, AB) on Friday, October 10th, 2014 at 1:30 p.m.

Rogers promises more NHL games to watch HOCKEY FANS WILL SEE MORE ACTION THAN EVER IN FIRST-YEAR OF TELEVISION DEAL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canadian hockey fans won’t just be switching to different channels to get their fix this season. Rogers and the NHL have promised more games and more robust coverage than ever as part of a new $5.2-billion, 12-year television-rights deal. “Hockey Night In Canada” will have a new look, with George Stroumboulopoulos taking over host duties from Ron MacLean, and Sportsnet recently unveiled a new state-of-the-art, multimillion-dollar studio to showcase its newfound reach and influence in the sport. Don Cherry and MacLean will still team up for the “Coach’s Corner” segment, but some of the other pre-game, intermission and post-game coverage will be different. While it may take time for viewers to adjust to the changes, there will be no shortage of hockey on the air under the new broadcast agreement. “There are more games actually being televised than ever before,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said. “Hockey Night In Canada” games will be shown coast-to-coast instead of by region and Rogers and the NHL have made a point to showcase Sunday and Wednesday nights. Blackout restrictions on GameCentre Live for computers, tablets and smartphones will also contribute to the “more games” philosophy. Rogers is banking on Sunday night becoming appointment viewing with MacLean hosting “Hometown Hockey” from 25 cities across Canada. “This was a way for us to take something, particularly in Canada, that we know is as close to religion as you can do, something that’s vitally important to the country, something that’s fun and exciting, entertaining, brings people together, and take it to places where it’s never been,” Bettman said. To do it, the league and the network mapped out a schedule that should make Sunday part of the new hockeywatching routine. NBC in the United States has its Wednesday night rivalry programming, and Rogers made sure it got the games it wanted among the 1,230 in the regular season. “We sat around the board with the NHL — there were 12 of us, 12 of them — and said, ’How can we create the best schedule?”’ Rogers Media president Keith Pelley said. “And you can see it. You can see the schedule now. There has not been a schedule like this for NHL hockey in this country ever. The NHL have been nothing but spectacular in helping us create the best schedule.” There are actually fewer Sunday games than last season (123 in 2014-15 compared to 132 in 2013-14), but the Rogers “Hometown Hockey” broad-

casts make 25 of them much more of a national production. Bettman said it was important to take control of Sunday nights and compared it to “Sunday Night Football” in the United States. The better parallel may be Thursday night NFL action, which has become the norm instead of a rarity in recent years. But “Hockey Night In Canada” is still the crown jewel. “Saturday night sitting in front of the game with a family dinner and friends over, I don’t think that’s going to change,” said Mark Messier, who’s working as a Rogers ambassador. “Saturday night hockey has always been an institution in our country. I don’t think that’ll ever change.” At a recent Canadian Club of Toronto luncheon, Bettman said in a chat with Stroumboulopoulos that the new rights deal was a chance to take “Hockey Night In Canada” to the next level on multiple platforms. Viewers are now able to stream it online or through GameCentre. “This will create a hockey experience if you’re a fan unlike what you’ve ever seen in terms of how complete the coverage is,” Bettman said. Stroumboulopoulos is the new face of that. The 42-year-old talk-show star recalled sitting in a room at the Fan 590 radio station 20 years ago and betting Jeff Marek which one would get on “Hockey Night In Canada” first. Technically, Stroumboulopoulos got there as part of a pre-game show when he worked for CBC, according to Marek, who will host national coverage on Thursday nights. Stroumboulopoulos will be front and centre on Saturday nights, running things on the biggest program in the sport. “This is the show that I’ve been watching without reservation my entire life, and when I was thinking about changing my job I didn’t know what to do,” Stroumboulopoulos said. “This I didn’t think was even a remote possibility. But this is the only show in Canada you grow up needing to be a part of.” Broadcasts will still feature the familiar play-by-play voices of Bob Cole and Jim Hughson, and Rogers hired Dave Randorf from TSN and Paul Romanuk — who returns after working overseas for nine years — to join the group. Some analysts and panellists were hired from CBC and others, like Leah Hextall and Darren Pang, brought in from the outside. “One of the things we’re really excited about, about the Rogers deal — people say, ’Yeah the money,”’ Bettman said. “It’s not about the money, it’s the people we’re going to be dealing with ... and all the talent that they’ve assembled.”

Mixed-breed dog survives being hit by car, euthanasia attempt BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OZARK, Ala. — Animal control officer Wanda Snell knows what she saw: A veterinarian inserted a needle into the black-and-brown mutt and injected a chemical meant to euthanize the dog no one had adopted. The animal moved a bit and was still and quiet by the time she left the shelter for home. What Snell can’t explain is how or why a mixed-breed dog that nobody wanted recovered overnight and has since bounced back fully from what should have been a lethal injection. Less than a month later, the dog lives with a family in a suburb of the Alabama city of Birmingham, where the animal romps and plays with another rescue dog. His survival seemed all the more surprising since the same dog already had been struck by a car before arriving at the Ozark City Animal Shelter. A rescue worker who retrieved the roughly 4-year-old male dog after the failed procedure named him “Lazarus” after the man the Bible says Jesus brought back to life. Snell has another name for that escape artist of a dog. “I call him Houdini,” she said. No one connected with the shelter is exactly sure what happened to prevent Lazarus’ death, and officials declined to release the name of the contract veterinarian who performed the injection. Shelter volunteer Cortney Blankenship has an idea, however. “His body overcame and he had a will to live and somehow, someway he made it through,” said Blankenship. Records show the dog arrived at the shelter on Aug. 19 after being dropped off by its owner, who Blankenship said was moving and could no longer care for it. The animal was cut and bloody after being struck by a car and a pad on its left rear foot was missing. Blankenship tried to find a rescue home through social media, but no one stepped up to adopt. So the dog’s scheduled date with death arrived on Sept. 10. Snell said the vet arrived late that

afternoon to euthanize animals due to be put to sleep. Snell said she accompanied the veterinarian and witnessed the entire procedure. The dog moved a bit when injected, almost as if fighting the drug before it quieted and was still, Snell said. The animal was left for dead inside a pen, its body to be removed later. But when Snell arrived for work the next morning, she saw the dog standing in an outdoor pen linked to the interior kennel. The dog had walked out and helped himself to some water. “He was back up and breathing and going right about business like it’s nothing,” said Ozark police Capt. Bobby Blankenship, who supervises the city shelter and is Cortney Blankenship’s father. Capt. Blankenship doesn’t have any doubt the veterinarian tried to euthanize the dog. In fact, the dog was “wobbly” and unsteady for some days afterward, he said. Those problems have since passed. Dr. Robert Lofton of the veterinary school at Auburn University said such cases are rare. While he hasn’t examined the dog and wasn’t involved in its handling, Lofton said the dog’s survival could have resulted from an improper dose of the drug used or possibly a vein that dodged the needle tip. And once Cortney Blankenship posted the story on Facebook, the dog’s fortunes changed. The animal was claimed by another rescue group leader who turned it over to a family living about 160 miles (257 kilometres) away. Jane Holston of Helena is now serving as Lazarus’ foster mother. The dog has been diagnosed with a dangerous case of heart worms but is on medication. And the leg damaged from the car accident is in a cast and on the mend. Left for dead weeks ago, Lazarus now romps in the grass and plays tugof-war with housemate Tucker, another rescue dog living with Holston and her family. “He’s not skittish, he’s not afraid of anything, anybody, any sounds. I mean, it’s just amazing what all he has been through,” Holston said.

Bay Leaf

Photo by ADVOCATE news services

Culinary workhorse

Bay leaves comes through as a background flavor in these chewy, savoury breadsticks. Twisty Rye Breadsticks.

Because they are brittle and dull green, dried bay leaves are best judged for their efficacy not by appearance, but by aroma. Open a fresh jar, and their smell is pronounced; bay leaves you’ve kept for more than six months may have a muted aroma. So break one or two of the leaves into pieces; if they are not more aromatic than the leaves left in the jar, it’s time to restock your supply. Australian TV food personality and cookbook author Rebecca Sullivan offers these tips: ● Dry fresh bay leaves for yearround use. They’ll keep in an airtight container or jar for a year or more. ● Use dried bay leaves in all your stocks and broths. Two or three leaves will add dimension to the flavor. ● Add a few dried leaves to your steamer basket when cooking vegetables or fish; they will impart a subtle aroma to the food. ● Scatter the dried leaves around your pantry to keep moths at bay (pun intended). ● Steep four or five fresh leaves in a quart of tepid water overnight, then use it in your bath to ease muscle aches. ● To aid digestion, add two or three dried leaves, a squeeze of lemon and a teaspoon of honey to a mug of just-boiled water. Drink after a meal.

"Bay leaves have disappeared from my pantry." They may be receding from recommended use as well. Cookbook editor Paula Jacobson says they show up less frequently in the recipes she has tested in recent years, although she always keeps a jar of dried bay leaves on hand. When she spots one in an ingredient list, she says, she immediately scans the directions for the "discard" directive and inserts one if it isn't there.

Twisty Rye Breadsticks MAKES: 20 servings PREPARATION: The dough needs to rise for 15 minutes, then 5 minutes, then 10 minutes. The breadsticks are best served the same day they are made. INGREDIENTS 20 ounces (560 grams) bread flour, plus more for dusting 6 1/2 ounces (190 grams) rye flour 1/2 ounce (15 grams) instant dried yeast 1/2 ounce (15 grams) salt 3 tablespoons olive oil (not extra-virgin), plus more as needed 1 1/2 teaspoons bay extract (see headnote; may substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground bay leaf) 16 ounces (450 grams) water, or as needed Handful pitted kalamata olives (optional) Coarsely ground semolina Caraway seed Crushed red pepper flakes Black poppy seeds STEPS Combine the flours, yeast, salt, 3 tablespoons of oil and the bay extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add most of the water; beat on low speed to form a soft but not sticky dough. (You might not need all of the water.) Beat/knead for 5 minutes on medium speed.

Serious Eats culinary director J. Kenji Lopez-Alt appreciates bay leaf for its 50-plus flavor compounds and its "complex, tea-like aromas" after long cooking, he wrote in March in response to the site's Food Lab query titled, "What's the Point of Bay Leaves?" He emphasized that fresh and dried are not interchangeable, flavorwise. His advice: Stick with dried, and if you're worried about forgetting to fish it out, use ground bay leaf instead. The fresh bay leaves you find in cello-packs might have been grown in California, but they are bay laurel — not Umbellularia californica, which is sometimes called California bay and is not recommended ffor cooking. Perhaps that's why Ju Julia Child was no fan of fresh bay leaves. As noted iin "The Way to Cook" (1989), "California bay has, to me, a disagreeably strong and oily flavor." One way to distinguish Umcalifo belluaria californica from Laurus nobilis is the edges of their leaves; the former has e a smooth edge, while the latter's edge is wavy.

Meanwhile, if you’re using the olives, cut each one in half, then into thin strips, placing them to drain on paper towels as you work. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Working with one portion of dough at a time, use your fingers to work/press each one into a rectangle that is 8 inches wide, then use a rolling pin to roll it a length of 12 inches (so the rectangle measures 8 by 12 inches). Cover loosely with a clean dish towel and let the dough rest (do not stack the dough rectangles) for 5 minutes. Brush any excess flour from the work surface. Sprinkle it lightly with the semolina, then place one rested rectangle of dough on top of the semolina, pressing gently so the semolina will adhere underneath. Sprinkle the top of the dough with a good pinch or two of caraway seed, a small pinch of crushed red pepper flakes and half of the olive strips, if using. Place a second rectangle of dough on top, then use the rolling pin to increase the length of the dough from 12 to 16 inches. Sprinkle the top of the dough with poppy seeds (to taste). Cut the dough lengthwise into 8 equal strips. Twist each one (as tightly as you’d like), arranging them on one of the baking sheets (spaced at least a half-inch apart) as you work. They will be longer than the baking sheet; trim off and reserve any overhanging dough, which can be rerolled. Let rest for 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough. Reroll the scraps into a 4-by16-inch rectangle to create the last 4 breadsticks, keeping in mind that the dough already will have those interior, layered elements in it — and they will be single-layer, not doubled like the other breadsticks.

So apply the semolina, caraway seed, crushed red pepper flakes, olives (if using) and poppy seeds sparingly, and twist per your preference. (Alternatively, discard the scraps and stick with the original total from the first two batches of breadsticks: 16 total.) Bake one sheet of breadsticks at a time for 25 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned, turning the baking sheet halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Irish soldiers need more uniforms DUBLIN, Ireland — Legend has it that Celtic warriors once charged into battle naked. Things aren’t that bad in the modern Irish army, but its union chief says soldiers must wage a daily battle for uniforms. Mark Scally says the difficulty of finding clothes that fit has become so dire that, before the state funeral of a former prime minister this year,

soldiers had to scramble to borrow colleagues’ uniforms, switching labels and rank badges to assemble an honour guard. He says some soldiers wait more than a year to receive a properly tailored “No. 1” uniform for ceremonial duties. “It’s a disgrace,” said Scally, president of the union that represents 8,500 members of the Irish Defence Forces. The commander, Lt. Gen. Conor O’Boyle, said he hadn’t been informed of any problem.
