Lloyd Wongstedt, or Tilly Tilly as he likes to be called and Nancy Verdin also known as Wrinkles share a laugh at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre this week. The two clowns enjoy bringing laughs and smiles to the patients at the hospital on a regular basis.
Hospital clowns keep patients in stitches BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Tilly Tilly and Wrinkles have come down with a serious case of clown fever. Luckily they are volunteers at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. With a big red nose, miniature green hat, shredded overalls and a flower bouquet for a boutonniere on his patched-up blazer, Tilly Tilly spends two to five hours putting smiles on the faces of patients each Sunday. “I just cheer them up. I don’t do balloons or juggle or anything like that,” said Lloyd Wongstedt, better known to patients and staff as Tilly Tilly. “That’s my whole purpose, to make their day a little better. I really believe laughter is the best medicine.” He’s been regularly joking with patients of all ages for more than six years. He saw the need for some lighthearted hospital fun years ago when his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter was a patient in Saskatchewan.
“I noticed there was no entertainment or anything for the children. I vowed to myself if I ever had the time and opportunity to fill that gap, I would. So here I am,” said Wongstedt, of Red Deer. The retired farmer said cheering up patients makes him happy, too. He’s also responsible for a few grins on the road when he gets into his clown costume at home and drives to the hospital. “Cops tend to look at you sideways.” When Wongstedt returns home, he’s also learned to take care when changing back into his “civvies.” “I always do a double take in the mirror before I leave the house,” Wongstedt said with his huge, painted smile. Nancy Verdin, aka Wrinkles, has been clowning around at the Red Deer hospital on and off since 2003. Verdin said her colourful costume sometimes allows her to reach patients in a way that others can’t. She recalled a distressed patient waiting for dialysis.
“He was angry. He was feeling really low. The fun totally changed him. It was the clown that got me in the door,” said Verdin, with bright green hair, cheeks dusted with sparkles, a red nose and her finger puppet Bubbles the fish. Verdin, 54, of Red Deer, likes to focus on adult patients to give them a break from the stress of illness or injury. “Kids don’t automatically accept you. Just because you’re a clown we assume that they do. Lots of them don’t.” Another memorable hospital visit was with a family spending time with their dying father. “We never said a word. We offered smiley-face stickers. And we got a hug from everybody in the room and a quiet thank you.” For some people, it’s just enough to remind them that there’s life and laughter outside those four walls, she said.

OTTAWA — An animal rights group is urging the federal government to finally move forward with updated transportation regulations after allegations of abuse at a hog facility in Red Deer. Mercy for Animals Canada has released a video taken at the Western Hog Exchange facility earlier this year that shows hogs being kicked and struck with what appears to be a club. The organization says the video was taken undercover and it also shows some of the animals limping and others crammed into a corral. Alberta’s Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is looking into the allegations and the facility has also launched an independent investigation with third-party experts in animal care and transportation. But Mercy for Animals says only the federal government can ensure such treatment doesn’t happen again. “Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz has the power and the responsibility to protect pigs and other farmed animals from flagrant cruelty, neglect and agonizing deaths during transport,” said Krista Osborne, executive director of Mercy for Animals at a news conference Monday. The group wants the federal regulations that govern animal transport updated to include measurable standards of care and clearer definitions on what constitutes acceptable transportation conditions. For example, the group says, some animals can be transported for up to 52 hours without access to food, water or rest, while in the rest of the western world that standard is eight hours. Another example is weather. Despite the extremes of the Canadian climate, there are no specific guidelines on what transportation conditions need to be in place to prevent animals being harmed by exposure to the elements. The group also wants financial penalties for breaking the rules to be raised and more strictly enforced.

Plaque to honour people killed in training at Penhold Base BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Seeing numerous monuments to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in combat during war, a local group decided what was missing was a plaque honouring those who died before they ever saw a battle. Jim Thoreson, president of the Central Alberta Search and Rescue Association, is spearheading a campaign to get a plaque together to honour people who were killed while training out of the Penhold Base at Springbrook, later CFB Penhold. “The pilots and their crew who were shot down overseas get lots of recognition, but nobody says anything about the people who were killed over here training,” said Thoreson. The idea had its roots in 2008 when Thoreson and a group were search and rescue training when one person was

killed. Out of that, Thoreson got the ball rolling to construct some sort of tribute. He hopes to get as many names together as possible and put them on a plaque to go at the base of the Harvard aircraft that is on display in front of the Red Deer Regional Airport. Thoreson sat down with the Red Deer flying club, the Royal Canadian Airforce association, Harvard Historical aviation society and the Central Alberta Search and Rescue Association and started collaborating on the project. “We’re researching all the names we can find of people who died while training here,” said Thoreson. The plaque is intended to honour more than just those training during wars as the group is looking into people who also died during the North Atlantic Treaty Organization years.

Suspect in Slocan shootout dead: RCMP BY THE CANADIAN PRESS KELOWNA, B.C. — The subject of a massive police manhunt in southern British Columbia after an exchange of gunfire in the tiny community of Slocan last week is dead, RCMP said late Monday. Police say Peter DeGroot was discovered Monday afternoon in the vicinity of the community in B.C.’s West Kootenay region, but they refused to disclose whether further shots were fired. ”There was an interaction Peter DeGroot between the subject of the ongoing search and the two emergency response team members, we can confirm
the subject is now deceased,” Supt. Frank Smart said in a statement at the RCMP’s regional headquarters Monday night. B.C.’s police watchdog Independent Investigations Office was called in to investigate, as it is anytime someone is killed or severely injured as a result of police involvement. Few details of the events leading to DeGroot’s death could be released to avoid compromising the watchdog’s investigation, Smart said. Residents were no longer in danger he added. Police were helping members of DeGroot’s family as well as the two officers involved in Monday’s incident, Smart said. Police say they were called on Thursday over a dispute between two people when they say they were shot at with a rifle, resulting in an exchange of gunfire. DeGroot, 45, fled into the woods triggering an influx of dozens of officers, including helicopters and search dogs. Police initially asked residents to stay indoors
and children from a local school were escorted by police to their parents. Over the weekend, Mounties used a news release and Twitter to make a direct appeal to DeGroot to contact them, while residents said messages were also delivered over loudspeakers. “Peter, come in, so we can talk,” RCMP tweeted on Sunday. Neighbours reported Degroot had fallen on hard times and was scared about being evicted. They said he kept to himself was usually only seen tending a rag-tag bunch of farm animals. Resident Mimi Gillis was queried by police in their search and said she mostly felt they were doing a good job. “But we didn’t need armoured tanks — trucks like a Brink’s truck, only more beefed up,” she said. “It was overkill. It was good to have all the undercover cops, the helicopters and the tracking dogs and the infrared and men up the mountain, going through the mountain like (with) a fine-tooth comb.”
day on the status of regulatory review or whether the results of their internal investigation would be made public. Reports going back as far as 2005-2006 have referenced changing the rules around animal transport. CFIA’s planning report for 2014-2015 was explicit. “This review will include consultations with stakeholders and a detailed analysis of the current science in this field,” said the report. “Amendments to the regulations will address new technology and industry practices that did not exist when the humane transportation portion of the regulations was first drafted.” Western Hog Exchange chairman Brent Moen says he viewed the footage last month, and what he saw strays far from its standards. “Many of the images we saw on the video were shocking and disturbing, and they are not in keeping with the animal care training and policies in place at WHE,” Moen said in a statement on the company website. “The Western Hog Exchange takes responsibility for what happens at our facilities and we will co-operate fully with the proper authorities and our thirdparty experts to make this right,” he said.
A hospital clown is a lot different than other clowns, Verdin said. “I’m not there for the applause or thank you. I’m there hopefully to make a bit of a difference in somebody’s life in one of the simplest ways ever. It’s just about showing up.” Red Deer hospital has six volunteer clowns, three of whom are new and just completed training in September. Elsewhere in Central Alberta, there are two hospital clowns at Ponoka Hospital and Care Centre. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

ABUSE: CFIA unable to answer questions In March, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz had told the House of Commons that new regulations were under review. His office would only provide comments via email Monday and they did not answer a query about the status of that review, saying only that animal welfare is a shared jurisdiction. Ritz also cited increased enforcement powers given to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to monitor animal welfare. “We expect anyone found violating these laws will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible,” the minister said in the e-mail. In this case, a CFIA worker is also under investigation for potentially being complicit in the incident as they were onsite at the time and did not report any wrongdoing. “CFIA management has met with all inspection staff in the area to reinforce our values of courage, rigour and respect,” the agency said in a statement on its website. “We have also taken this opportunity to discuss with staff our ongoing expectation that animal welfare responsibilities be carried out in a compassionate and respectful manner.” The agency was unable to answer questions Mon-

PLAQUE: 35 names so far So far they have about 35 names for the plaque and Thoreson said it wasn’t an infrequent occurrence for a person to die while training. They have the names of people who died during the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan days, but there are gaps in the NATO days. “We’re not finding records like we did,” said Thoreson, adding the have maybe 10 or 12 names from the NATO timeframe. The hope is to fill out the gaps in the names and deaths during training before the plaque is completed. Thoreson hopes people will come forward with information or recollections of deaths that occurred during training based out of Penhold. Anyone with information is asked to contact Thoreson at 403-346-6731 or by email at jimthoreson@ shaw.ca. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Fire knocks out power in Calgary RESTORATION OF POWER TO DOWNTOWN COULD TAKE A WEEK BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi says it will not be business as usual in the city’s downtown on Tuesday following a fire in an underground vault that’s knocked out power for thousands of customers. The city says the fire, which happened in a manhole Saturday night, “completely destroyed the electrical infrastructure� inside. Over 100 buildings, including apartments and office towers are affected. Nenshi and other officials told a news conference that it could be Wednesday at the earliest before power can be restored, and the wait could be as long as Saturday for others. The mayor says employers in the affected area should tell their employees not to come in on Tuesday. He says the city will assess whether to advise other workers outside the affected area to also avoid coming to work downtown when the work week resumes after the Thanksgiving break. “It will not be possible. It will not be possible early this week for there to be business as usual in those affected areas,� Nenshi said. “There will be major disruptions to the affected area until the infrastructure is rebuilt.� Nenshi noted that if employees needed to get into offices to pick up files or laptops, it should be arranged outside of rush hour. A spokeswoman for Enmax said more than just repairs were needed — the damaged equipment needed to be rebuilt. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Police had set up a security perimeter around part of the affected area, but Nenshi said it was now down to just the block where the fire occurred. Approximately 2,100 businesses and 5,000 residents are affected. Matt, a cook at Lord Nelson’s Bar and Grill which is just outside the affected zone, said his 16th floor apartment has no power. “I feel like, what the heck? I feel upset. This is Canada, it’s not in Africa. Why is it four to seven days before the hydro can be back?�

Workers continue to try and restore power to an area of the downtown in Calgary, Monday. Provincial courthouses in Calgary are going be closed due to a massive power outage affecting more than 100 buildings in the city’s downtown. He said emergency workers and roadblocks were everywhere when he left work Saturday night, and that it looked like an action movie. When he finally reached his building, he had to wait half-an-hour before security guards would let residents enter. He took the stairs because there was no power to run the elevators. There was still no power when he got up Sunday morning, and the water for his shower was starting to get cold. “It’s Thanksgiving and a lot of people won’t be able to cook their turkeys,� he said. Alberta Justice tweeted that it was still assessing how services would be
affected at its courthouse, which is in the zone without power. The province’s emergency alert system was also activated to warn people that 9-1-1 phone service in Calgary’s downtown core may be disrupted due to the power failure. The city says some upper floors in buildings may also lose water pressure due to the outage. It said it was preparing to provide emergency potable water wagons for affected residents and
businesses. An emergency information centre has also been set up where they will be food trucks, hand washing stations and places for people to charge electronic devices. It’s the second major power outage to hit Calgary in about a month. About 30,000 people lost power in September when a series of heavy snowfalls hit the city and snapped tree limbs that pulled down power lines.

We are too impatient LET’S SLOW DOWN, FOR THE SAKE OF OURSELVES AND OUR PLANET The Amazon rainforest is magnificent. Watching programs about it, we’re amazed by brilliant parrots and toucans, tapirs, anacondas and jaguars. But if you ever go there expecting to be overwhelmed by a dazzling blur of activity, you’ll be disappointed. The jungle has plenty of vegetation — hanging vines, enormous trees, bromeliads and DAVID more — and a SUZUKI cacophony of insects and frogs. But much of the activity goes on at night or high up in the canopy. Films of tropical forests don’t accurately reflect the reality of the ecosystems. They’re skillfully edited shots acquired over many months. Our medianurtured impatience and urgent sense of time often prevent us from seeing how life truly unfolds. Nature needs time to adjust and adapt to biosphere changes. After life appeared on Earth, atmospheric oxygen gradually went from zero to 20
SCIENCE
per cent, oceans appeared and disappeared, mountains thrust upward and then eroded, continents moved on tectonic plates, climate cycled between ice ages and warm intervals, magnetic poles reversed and re-reversed. Life flourished because species and ecosystems evolved over time. The fossil record also indicates periods of rapid change, including mass extinctions when up to 95 per cent of living things were wiped out. Each time, survivors changed, adapted to new conditions and flourished. Still, recovery took millions of years. Humans have been around for a mere 150,000 years. We’re an infant species, but our precocity has allowed us to expand exponentially. Now our technological power and consumptive demand are undermining the planet’s life-support systems on a geologic scale. We’ve become impatient. We’re so demanding that we’re unwilling to slow down and ensure our major projects are sustainable for human society and the biosphere. Over the past century, we’ve burned increasing amounts of finite fossil fuels that were stored and compressed over millions of years, exacerbating conditions that lead to climate chaos. We’ve clear-cut vast tracts of forest that have evolved over millennia, flooded huge areas under
large dams, depleted our oceans with over-efficient fishing technology and spread vast quantities of toxic waste throughout the planet’s air, water and soil. Governments rationalize these actions by claiming to do proper environmental assessments, but continue to impose restrictive time limits on assessment processes while reducing the number of scientists and other staff who do the work. It takes time to acquire scientific information, and it can’t always be done on a strict timetable. If we truly desire a sustainable society, we require vibrant and abundant nature. To recognize that nature isn’t separate from us and fully understand how it provides critical services, we need patience to learn its secrets. We can’t survive, let alone be healthy and flourish, without clean air, clean water, clean soil and food, photosynthesis and biodiversity. But we’re overwhelming nature — and ourselves — with the incessant demands of our ramped-up consumer culture. Fortunately, people are starting to remember that we’re part of nature and that what we do to the natural world we do to ourselves. They’re taking notice of the drastic impacts we’re having on Earth, our only home, and demanding that we show more care.
In New York on Sept. 21, more than 300,000 people turned out for what was billed as the largest climate march ever, one of 2,646 marches in 162 countries. Leaders of some of the world’s largest corporations are calling for climate action and carbon pricing, and distancing themselves from organizations that have worked to stall progress. Even the heirs of the Rockefeller Standard Oil fortune announced they’ll withdraw their investments in fossil fuels, including the Alberta oilsands. With the Blue Dot Tour, the David Suzuki Foundation and I are hoping to encourage all Canadians to become part of this growing movement to protect the air, water, soil and biodiversity that we and our children and grandchildren need to survive and be healthy. Like nature, social movements sometimes take time to evolve and unfold. We don’t always see their impacts as they happen. If we expect a dazzling blur of activity and immediate results, we’ll be disappointed. Let’s slow down, breathe, listen, look and feel. Only then will we understand our place in the world and what we must do to live well on this small blue dot spinning in an enormous universe.

Re-inventing Alberta Health Services BY ROBERT MCGARVEY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE In May 2008, Premier Ed Stelmach dissolved Alberta’s regional health authorities and created Alberta Health Services (AHS) a single centralized bureaucratic entity governing heath care. The logic for this action could have been lifted directly from any large-scale corporate merger: “we’re reducing bureaucracy, eliminating needless duplication. We anticipate achieving across-the-board cost savings from ‘synergies’.” Needless to say, like many a corporate merger, this didn’t work out as planned. If centralization of power were the answer to organizational dysfunction, then the Soviets probably would have won the Cold War. The hard cold truth of the matter is, health care, like a lot of other bureaucratic entities in the modern world (it’s not just an Alberta problem) has not aged well and now is developing a kind of bureaucratic sclerosis. Populist political forces drove the creation of publicly-funded health care and it enjoyed widespread public approval. But there were defects, small imperfections in the organizational structure, that now threaten to cripple the system from within. Despite its general popularity, doctors are one key group strongly opposed publicly-funded health care. Obviously, their co-operation was urgently needed if the system was to function at all. Regrettably, in winning the approval of the medical profession, the politicians conceded across the board to doctors’ demands and built a ‘physician’ and not a ‘patientcentric’ bureaucratic organization.
CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Fred Gorman Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director
The other major flaw (a function of the first defect) was born of physicians’ desire for normal working hours and their chronic fear of litigation. This meant that emergency wards in hospitals began to be utilized as the universal entry-point for health-care services. In the old days, if someone had a health problem (that did not involve broken bones or blood spewing from wounds) the family doctor would be called, at all hours of the day. The doctor would grab their black bag and visit the patient in the home, where the problem would be dealt with. Today, health alarms in Alberta, regardless of how serious, necessitate a patient visit to the emergency ward of the local hospital. While overcrowding was not a serious problem in the early days, as the demand for services exploded over the decades it’s become a monstrosity. Horror stories of lost patients or multiple-day emergency ward waits abound. Re-inventing Alberta means improving the delivery of public services and that means fixing health care. However, even saying these words out loud sends shivers down the spines of Alberta’s 90,000-plus change-weary health care administrators, physicians and support staff. The natural tendency of politicians after decades of failed change initiatives and limited budgets is to reach for an efficiency or productivity initiative. Manitoba, for instance, is experimenting with Lean, an efficiency system developed by Toyota. It’s a strategy that is proven (at least in factory conditions) and works if applied vigorously and consistently. But being Lean is only the price of admission these days, and regrettably it’s not enough. As the health-care system ages and slows to a crawl, the world is being struck by lightning. There’s a wide-

ranging technological revolution that is changing everything around us; health care cannot escape its profound impact. Being strategic these days means thinking long and hard, getting the organizational design right and then building for a future that does not yet exist. Bureaucratic structures are like crystals; they grow from a tiny seed. In this case, the seed of our health-care system is the founding logic that put the physician and his or her interests at the core of the system. Like a crystal in nature, all the rest of the bureaucratic system is ordered by this founding logic and growth simply repeats the pattern endlessly. If the core is faulty, so is everything that derives from it. It’s no surprise that the medical future will be radically different because of advances in technology. Consider the Tele-health innovation that is taking place at Baptist Health South Florida. This hospital just won a hospital innovator award for its e-Pharmacy initiative and innovation in the areas of Tele-Dermatology and Tele-Cardiology. Creating a ‘patient-centric’ system that fully adapts to the technological revolution is not something to enter into lightly. But ultimately it is the future of medicine. It might even help physicians get a good night’s sleep, while their patients are cared for in the privacy and comfort of their homes.

Top court to hear assisted suicide appeal this week
Canadian-made Ebola vaccine to start clinical trials BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
for the vaccine and will be arranging the trials at the U.S. military lab. NewLink said earlier this month that at least five clinical trials involving the vaccine would soon be underway in the United States, Germany, Switzerland and in an unnamed African country which is not battling Ebola. The Canadian government has also said it wants to conduct a trial in this country. The aim of these early trials is to see if the vaccine is safe for human use and how much vaccine is needed to generate what is hoped to be a protective response in people. Another leading Ebola vaccine candidate, created in the laboratories of the U.S. National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been licensed to pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline (now known as GSK). The first clinical trial with that vaccine, called cAd3, began in early September. There have been no reported Canadian cases and health officials maintain the risk of Ebola emerging remains very low. It was a message that officials in two Ontario cities stressed again on Monday as they announced that two patients — one in Ottawa, the other in Belleville — were placed in isolation as a precaution because they showed Ebola like symptoms. A news release from Ottawa public health said a patient had recently visited a West African country where Ebola has been reported and that all necessary precautions were taken. The patient in Belleville was in Sierra Leone recently but doctors considered it unlikely the symptoms would turn out to be Ebola, said Dr. Richard Schabas, the medical health officer responsible for Belleville. “You’re going to see many instances like this over the next few weeks as health care workers and others return from the area (West Africa),” Schabas told a news conference. ”We’re going to become very used it.” Preliminary test results in both cases were expected later Monday or Tuesday.
OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada hears an appeal this week delving into an issue that’s increasingly resonating with Canadians as the country’s population ages — the right to assisted suicide for the terminally ill. On Wednesday, the country’s highest court will begin hearing an appeal by the B.C. Civil Liberties Association that could ultimately result in dying but mentally competent Canadians being granted the right to receive medical assistance to hasten death. It’s the latest challenge to the Criminal Code of Canada’s provisions outlawing assisted suicide. Its roots stretch back to the 1993 Supreme Court decision that denied Sue Rodriguez the right to die. The B.C. woman, suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sought to end her own life, famously asking: “Whose body is this? Who owns my life?” In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court rejected her efforts to strike down the Criminal Code provisions, saying they weren’t in step with Canadian values. But times have apparently changed in the 20 years since Rodriguez’s suicide in 1994 with the help of an anonymous doctor. A recent poll from Dying With Dignity Canada suggests more than 90 per cent of respondents support the rights of the terminally ill to end their own
lives, and believe they should be able to turn to their doctors to help them do so. “We are cautiously optimistic that the Supreme Court will support assisted suicide this time out,” Wanda Morris, head of Dying With Dignity, said in an interview. “Clearly this is an idea that has vast support across the country.” Lawyer Grace Patine, who will argue the case for the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, agrees. “I think there’s been a profound shift,” she said. “Virtually every Canadian has some experience, whether it’s a family member or a friend or a loved one, of grappling with these very difficult end-oflife decisions. This is about how people want to be remembered, how they want to say good-bye, how they want to spend their final days. These are decisions that cannot and must not be made by government.” The latest appeal was launched in 2011 by the BCCLA and two women, Kay Carter and Gloria Taylor, both suffering terminal illnesses. Both women have since died. The 89-year-old Carter, however, had to travel to Switzerland to end her life. In 2012, the B.C. Supreme Court ruled that the Criminal Code provisions against assisted suicide violate the rights of the terminally ill, and gave Parliament a year to rewrite the laws. The federal government, however, appealed that ruling.

TORONTO — Human testing of an experimental Canadian-made Ebola vaccine began Monday, with federal officials saying the drug could be shipped to West Africa within months if it proves successful. Health Minister Rona Ambrose said the launch of the vaccine’s first clinical trial marks a promising step in the global campaign to contain the virus, which the World Health Organization says has killed more than 4,000 people. “This provides hope because if the Canadian vaccine is shown to be safe and effective, it will stop this devastating outbreak,” Ambrose said in a conference call from Calgary. Twenty vials of the vaccine have been sent to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Maryland for testing on about 40 healthy volunteers, she said. The Phase 1 trial will determine if the vaccine created by Public Health Agency of Canada and known as VSVEBOV is safe for human use. It will also determine the proper dosage level and test for possible side effects, Ambrose said. Studies have shown the vaccine works in primates both to prevent infection when given before exposure and to increase survival chances when given quickly after exposure. Canada’s chief public health officer said results from the human trial are expected by December, and if successful, the next stage would be to test it in a larger human sample, including those directly handling Ebola cases in West Africa. “The health-care workers on the ground are the most likely target to do the next step,” which could begin by the end of the year or early 2015, Dr. Gregory Taylor said in a news conference in Toronto. “Clearly if those studies show that it’s effective in health-care workers, the world would go into mass production.” A small U.S. company called NewLink Genetics holds the licence

There have been reports that some U.S. bombing missions have killed civilians in Syria — claims refuted by the Pentagon. Just a few days ago Australia acknowledged it had to call off a mission because of the fear of “collateral damage.” The human rights scrutiny is intense and — in the age of social media — im-

Following Libya, a special commission of the United Nations and the international group Human Right Watch conducted separate, detailed investigations into allegations that the NATOled bombing campaign in Libya led to civilian deaths. The International Commission of Inquiry on Libya resoundingly condemned both the pro-and-anti-Gadhafi forces for atrocities, but it didn’t entirely let the western military alliance, nor its member countries, off the hook. Similarly, the New York City-based Human Rights Watch wrote in 2012 to
NATO and each of the countries that conducted bombing missions —including Canada —asking questions about targeting intelligence and post-action assessments, among other things, as it looked into nine cases of innocents being killed.

I've not examined you, nor have I seen your X-Rays – so I can only speak hypothetically on this matter. Generally speaking – wisdom teeth should be removed when you are relatively young and in good health. I don't prescribe to the notion of 'watching' anything in dentistry. Nothing 'repairs itself' and dental issues don't become less expensive to correct with passing time. I fully understand that to remove hidden wisdom teeth may not be in the comfort zone of many GP dentists, but my personal advice would be to remove them. He has referred you to an Oral Surgeon he trusts, and he has your best interest at heart. The biggest problem is wisdom teeth can cause problems much later, when your overall health may be compromised due to a heart condition, or even medication such as blood thinners that may affect your ability to be frozen properly. The body recovers more quickly with less trauma if we remove wisdom teeth from a 24 year old than a 74 year old. In your case, you are right smack in the middle. Providing you don't have any existing health issues that will cause problems with the Oral Surgeon removing those problem teeth their diagnosis appears to be sound.

I would speak frankly with your dental team and consider removing the other wisdom teeth as well. They may very well be a 'landmine' that could easily come back to haunt you 20 years down the road if you ignore them right now. The issue with the adjacent molar is typical. At a 45 degree angle, the wisdom tooth is likely pressing against the root of the second molar, and causing it to deteriorate. That may well happen with the other teeth that have not caused you pain yet. You do have options when it comes to replacing that molar – you can simply learn to do without it, or you can consider a dental implant to prevent further bone loss. It is a 'slippery slope' to do nothing. You're a relatively young man and will likely recover more quickly now than a decade or two down the road. Another issue is frequently finances. I have seen seniors with limited pension and significant dental discomfort with few resources to properly correct them once they are retired. You're most likely in a better position to weather that storm by addressing it now!

OTTAWA — The ghosts of Canada’s last air war are likely to haunt its participation in the new campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The bombing campaign in Libya three years ago, hailed as a triumph on Parliament Hill, looks very much like the deployment that will unfold over the next few weeks in the Persian Gulf. The force — six CF-18 jetfighters, two CP-140 Aurora patrol planes and a CP-150 refuelling jet — is almost identical to the one that helped NATO unseat dictator Moammar Gadhafi. The mission — to bomb targets in support of local ground forces — as part of a multi-national effort is also eerily similar. But there are some critical differences that have the potential to make the fight against ISIL more messy and politically painful. The last time the mission was carried out under the defined structure and legal cover of NATO and a United Nations resolution; this time it is under the auspices of a U.S.-led coalition that is still working out its command and accountability structure. In Libya, pro-Gadhafi — or regime forces — were readily distinguished, even when they tried to hide themselves. Islamic State fighters however, have the potential to be much more ghostly and indistinguishable from the civilian population, much the same way the Taliban blended in with Afghan villagers. The uncertainty is being recognized in Canadian military planning and the possibility of opting out of some missions exists. A spokeswoman for Defence Minister Rob Nicholson said late last week that Canadian commanders will take their day-to-day tactical direction from the coalition in terms of what targets to hit. But, Johanna Quinney said, “the final decision to participate in missions will be retained by Canada.” The legal authority to drop bombs on suspected Islamic State targets is not covered in a status of forces agreement, she added, but in “diplomatic

Border agency eyes putting detainees in prisons BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s border agency pursued the idea of putting immigrant detainees in federal prison despite concerns about locking up newcomers with violent offenders. Canada Border Services Agency president Luc Portelance raised the possibility with the federal Correctional Service because the border agency feared running out of space to hold people, newly disclosed documents show. The proposal provides an inside glimpse of a federal organization straining to find accommodation for the immigrants it puts behind bars as the government was bolstering its powers to detain more newcomers. In a letter to Correctional Service commissioner Don Head, Portelance noted the border agency was assessing options for “increasing its capacity” and wanted to explore the prison service’s “expertise and facilities to hold immigration detainees.” The border agency holds people who are considered a flight risk or a danger to the public, and those whose identities cannot be confirmed. It has also become easier to detain newcomers. Federal changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act allow officials to hold people 16 or older who enter Canada as part of an

An internal border agency background memo notes the organization has three immigration holding centres across Canada, but relies on provincial jails in other locations to house higherrisk detainees.
“In some cases, the provinces have indicated their intention to cease holding detainees in the long term or limit how many individuals can be held within their facilities,” the memo says. It adds that the federal government’s “current legislative agenda concerning immigration matters and the potential for an increase in the daily detained population” make discussions with the
Busy fire season in national parks, Parks Canada annual report says BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The number of wildfires in Canada’s national parks was close to average last summer, but the size of some of those fires made it an unusually hot season. “We’ve had a more active than normal wildfire season,” said Jeff Weir, Parks Canada’s national fire manager. “A small number of those fires have been quite challenging.” The agency reported 85 wildfires in the spring and summer of this year. That’s slightly higher than the average of 82. The amount of forest burned was almost 3,000 square kilometres — an area about half the size of Prince Edward Island. “That’s higher than normal,” Weir said. There were several large fires in Wood Buffalo National Park, which straddles the boundary between northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories. Together with a large fire in Banff National Park, the fires accounted for 1,300 square kilometres of forest
burned. “Wood Buffalo has proven challenging for the last two or three years,” Weir said. “It’s been a prolonged period of drought they’ve been experiencing. There’s probably been the same number of fires, but they’ve got more potential to grow because the fuel’s been so dry.” Wood Buffalo, Canada’s largest national park, is drained by the Peace and Athabasca rivers. Scientists have said that region has been drying out for a long time because of climate change and the effect of upstream dams in British Columbia. Weir said Parks Canada was also busy with and successful in setting its own fires. The prescribed burns are done to restore health and balance in forest ecosystems. Foresters burned 40 square kilometres of forest at 12 different parks, including well-known destinations such as Thousand Islands in Ontario. Another 23 such burns at nine parks are still planned for the fall.

prison service necessary. The documents, prepared in early 2012, were recently released under the Access to Information Act. Neither the border agency nor the prison service would make anyone available for an interview. However, in emailed answers to questions, the agencies confirmed that discussions about use of federal prisons took place. The border agency did an internal review of options for the detention program that was presented to the organization’s executive for approval early this year, said agency spokeswoman Line Guibert-Wolff. “As a result of this process, in February 2014, the CBSA decided that federal correctional facilities would not be used to hold immigration detainees.” Guibert-Wolff refused to say why the decision was taken. The Canadian Red Cross Society, which monitors conditions for immigrants held by the border agency, warned as early as its 2008-09 report about the problems involved with keeping newcomers locked up alongside violent offenders. The practice can be “extremely stressful” for some newcomers, the society’s report for 2012-13 says, especially for refugee claimants who have experienced armed conflict, torture or other traumatic experiences.

Mall collapse report due this week BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
ELLIOT LAKE
When Commissioner Paul Belanger reports this week on the deadly collapse of a mall in northern Ontario, he and his team will have spent months sorting through numerous claims, counterclaims and finger-pointing as to who was to blame for the tragedy. No one involved in the Algo Centre mall’s 30-year history of leaks — from the architect who designed it and the last owner on whose watch part of the rooftop parking caved in to the myriad players in between — has been willing to accept responsibility for the disaster that left two women dead and the town of Elliot Lake reeling. “Those who ought to have known certain conditions appeared to have no idea or simply had no desire to know how bad things were becoming,” Keith Moyer, chairman of the Seniors Action Group of Elliot Lake, said in final written submissions. “Those who ought to have known and ought to have demanded immediate action to stop this deterioration appear to have been in denial.” There would be no denying what happened on a sunny Saturday afternoon on June 23, 2012. Concrete and a vehicle crashed down into the mall, killing Lucile Aylwin, 37, and Doloris Perizzolo, 74. Several others were hurt. The collapse sparked a frantic scramble to get out, and then a search and rescue operation that many residents severely criticized as being woefully inadequate. The victims’ families, who are suing the town and
others for damages, see plenty of blame to spread around. They argue town officials failed to do their building-inspection and enforcement jobs; the mayors involved lied when they claimed ignorance of a 1999 engineering report warning of the dangers of ongoing leakage; the various owners were dishonest, negligent and greedy. Officially, of course, Belanger’s 744-page report on the events leading up to the collapse will not assign legal blame or liability when it is released Wednesday along with his recommendations aimed at preventing a repeat of a similar tragedy, and his findings cannot be used in any prosecution. In practice, however, it will lay bare the roles played by those who should have, or could have, done something to prevent the collapse, who seemed to ignore the proverbial alarm bells — ear-splitting as they were. The report from the $20-million inquiry comes against the backdrop of an ongoing police investigation that has already led to serious charges — criminal negligence causing death and bodily harm — against former engineer Robert (Bob) Wood, who signed off on the good health of the mall just weeks before a corroded structural-steel weld gave way. Wood, whose 40-year career was ignominiously buried by the falling concrete, admitted to altering his report at the behest of the mall’s last owner, Bob Nazarian.

Harper sets November date for federal byelections in Ontario and Alberta OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper has set Nov. 17 for two federal byelections in Ontario and Alberta, including the seat occupied by late finance minister Jim Flaherty. Voters will go to the polls in Whitby-Oshawa in Ontario and Yellowhead in Alberta. Both seats were held by the Tories. The Whitby-Oshawa riding was vacated with Flaherty’s death this April, while former Yellowhead MP Rob Merrifield bowed out last month to work as that province’s envoy to the U.S. Harper himself made a campaign-style stop in Whitby last week, announcing his government will be doubling the child fitness tax credit as promised. Whoever wins the ridings will spend less than a year in office before hitting the campaign trail again, as the national voting day is Oct. 19, 2015, unless the government chooses to drop the writ sooner.

The man was in stable condition when he was flown from the area and his injuries are described as non life-threatening.

The discredited engineer, who tried unsuccessfully to get Belanger to black out parts of the final report that refer to him, blamed Nazarian for failing to pass on “necessary and relevant” information about the history of the mall that would have properly informed his inspection. Nazarian himself has admitted to having had the millions of dollars required for the drastic renovations needed to save the mall, but said he did not want to pour more money down what he called a “black hole.” “No matter how much money you put in...that mall was doomed,” Nazarian testified. However, he insisted he had no idea of the history of problems he was buying into when he purchased what townsfolk dubbed the “Algo Falls.” “Definitely, I would not buy the mall if I knew that the leaks were continuing from so long period,” he said. Nazarian blames “defective design and installation” of the novel but cheap waterproofing system used when the mall was built in 1979 along with the centre’s first two owners’ “failure to take effective remedial measures.” He also blames the town for failing to enforce the building code, and various engineers for missing the structurally significant corrosion that ultimately led to the collapse. A look at the emergency response and recommendations will form the 652-page second volume of Belanger’s report.

Rebels have rough weekend BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR The long weekend turned out to be extra long for the Red Deer Rebels. After watching his club blow a 4-1 lead and fall 6-4 to the visiting Brandon Wheat Kings Saturday, Rebels GM/ head coach Brent Sutter wasn’t about to give his troops a break and instead scheduled practice sessions for each of the next two days. The Rebels struggled mightily at the Centrium last season and have won just one of four home games this fall. Simply unacceptable, insisted Sutter. “Our play at home was an issue with us last year and it came down to being the reason why we missed the playoffs last spring,” said the Rebels bench boss. “It comes down to bad habits and understanding how we have to play for a full game, just not bits of it.” One night after the Rebels suffered a late lapse in a 5-1 loss to the visiting Medicine Hat Tigers, Sutter witnessed an even more dramatic meltdown Saturday. Taking advantage of some shoddy goaltending by rookie Logan Thompson, who was making his WHL debut, the Rebels ran out to a 4-1 lead in the second period before imploding in a big way. The Wheat Kings scored four times before the middle frame was out — including three goals in a span of just under two minutes — to assume a lead they never relinquished, then got an empty-net marker with 68 seconds remaining in the contest. In the loss to the Tigers, the Rebels never recovered from a fluke goal in the third period and then coughed up two more down the stretch. Despite getting down 2-0 after one period, the home side battled back before collapsing in the final six minutes and change. “We rebounded after the first period and then played well for 35 minutes,” said Sutter of Friday’s game. “Then we have a goal scored against us and it’s like the end of the world and all of a sudden it’s a 5-1 hockey game. “Then Saturday night we’re in control of the game halfway through the second period and it happens again.” The Rebels were sloppy defensively during the Wheaties’ onslaught and

Peter Quenneville and Tyler Coulter accounted for Brandon’s other secondperiod markers and Coulter made it a two-goal evening with an empty-net
goal scored just 11 second after Sutter pulled Toth — back between the pipes in the third period — in favour of an extra attacker just 11 seconds earlier. Adam Musil gave Red Deer a 1-0 lead with the team’s first shot of the game — a high wrister than handcuffed Thompson — 5:51 in, and Evan Polei doubled the lead when he tipped home defenceman Brett Cote’s power-play slapshot just under six minutes later. Rookie defenceman Kale Clague
got the visitors on the board when his point shot beat Toth 50 seconds into the second period, setting the stage for the Rebels’ final two tallies — by Grayson Pawlenchuk and Wyatt Johnson — that were followed by a flurry of Brandon goals. Toth was solid in the first period and again in the final frame, but his second-period yips proved costly.

Eskimos bring down Blue Bombers BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Eskimos 41 Blue Bombers 9 EDMONTON — It was one of those games where they could have just shaken hands at the half. Mike Reilly ran in a pair of quarterback keepers as the Edmonton Eskimos secured a playoff spot, destroying the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 41-9 on Monday. With the win, the Eskimos improved to 10-5, the 38th 10-plus win season in franchise history. Reilly said it was nice to get the playoff berth locked down, although it is a home date that the squad is really seeking. “It was one of our goals, for sure, so we’ve achieved that. But there’s a lot of goals left on that board as well and next week now becomes an even bigger game and they’re all just going to continue to be like that the rest of the year,’’ he said. “We’re happy that we clinched, but that’s not where the goals for our season end. We’ve got a lot of work left to do, but it’s a lot better feeling than it was about a year ago around here.’’ The Eskimos led 37-0 at the half and head coach Chris Jones said it was a fine line between continuing to work on what the team needs to and running up the score. “I told Mike (Reilly) at halftime, just run the plays like it’s 0-0 because we’re ramping up trying to get into the playoffs and make sure that we’re clicking,’’ he said. “We weren’t ever trying to run up the score and embarrass an opponent. Especially (Winnipeg head coach) Mike O’Shea, he’s a good friend of mine.’’ The Blue Bombers lost their sixth straight and seventh of their last eight games to fall to 6-9 after a 5-1 start to

I don’t really know what has happened.’’
O’Shea said his team was simply slow off the start, and are in a precarious position as a result. “I felt that we didn’t have the right stuff, the right plan,’’ he said. “I thought we were out-coached in the first half. In all three phases, it seemed
like nothing we were doing offensively was working. “The players are frustrated enough to try and make a change. They understand that these are all must-win games for us now. We have to win our next three.’’ The Eskimos struck first with six minutes remaining in the opening quarter as they marched competently downfield before capping off the drive on a one-yard keeper by backup quarterback Pat White to make it 7-0. A minute later the Eskimos had the ball back in scoring position as Bombers’ back Paris Cotton was stripped of the ball by Almondo Sewell and Edmonton’s Alonzo Lawrence scooped it up at the Winnipeg 29-yard line. The turnover led to a 21-yard Hugh O’Neill field goal. Winnipeg’s offence for the first quarter was minus one yard. Edmonton increased its lead to 14-0 on a missed field goal early in the second quarter and a successful 33-yard kick six minutes in. The Blue Bombers looked to have caught a break with six minutes remaining as Edmonton punt returner Kendial Lawrence fumbled on his own 22-yard line with Winnipeg’s Carl Volny recovering. However, on the next play, Odell Willis stripped the ball out of quarterback Drew Willy’s hands and it bounced around until it was picked up by Dexter McCoil who escaped several tackle attempts in an improbable 88-yard run into the end zone to put the Eskimos up 21-0. It was Edmonton’s seventh defensive touchdown this season. The Eskimos kept coming and added to their totals with just under three minutes left in the first half as Reilly scored on a one-yard plunge.
Big shift sees Thurber drop to tier II in high school football BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF A major tectonic shift took place in Central Alberta High School Football this past week, as the Lindsay Thurber Raiders dropped from tier I to tier II. It is the first time the school has had to drop a division a move that was not expected from any football program in the region. The Raiders had played all year with the assumption they were going to be tier I, but once school numbers were submitted on Oct. 1, it became clear they were actually going to be playing provincially at a lower level. Tier I schools have a population of 1,250 — Lindsay Thurber head coach
Dave Smith said they were “about 50” short. “When we first said we were going to have to look at this, yeah I was surprised,” said Smith. Smith says, however, they are not going to let it effect how they prepare and play. In the grand scheme of things, there was a strong chance they were going to have to win the league to move on to provincials. They had split the season series with the other tier I team in the zone, long-time rival Notre Dame Cougars (3-2). The Raiders (4-1) will play the winless Lacombe Rams (0-5) in the first round of the playoffs and should roll into the league final, which they potentially will still have to win to move on,
if the two-time league champion Hunting Hills Lightning (3-2) beats Notre Dame in the first round of the playoffs. “It doesn’t change the way we approach things at all,” said Smith. “We had a twin goal of going as far in the (provincial) playoffs as we could and trying to win a league championship, and we still want to do that. We still have to win out in the league.” The teams most effected, however, are Notre Dame and Hunting Hills. Notre Dame now gets a pass into provincials as the lone tier I team in the zone and Hunting Hills now has a much tougher fight on their hands. The Lightning thought they had a provincial spot sewn up with two easy wins over the Lacombe Rams, but now

they have to beat two more tough teams in the league playoffs just to get there. Thurber has won both of their meetings this year while Hunting Hills beat Notre Dame in their first contest and will face each other again in the regular season finale on Friday at 7 p.m. “It throws a wrench into everything ... they did that two days before we played them last week (a 28-20 Raiders win), which made that game more important than any of us knew and any of us had planned for the first month of the season,” said Hunting Hills head coach Kyle Sedgwick. “It kind of took a lot of people by surprise ... Everything changed for everybody.”

Alouettes trounce Riders on emotional day CROMPTON LEADS MONTREAL ON DAY THAT FORMER QB CALVILLO’S NUMBER IS RETIRED BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Former Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo poses for a photo in Montreal, Monday, following a halftime ceremony to retire his jersey at a CFL game between the Alouettes and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. sand on that. We’ve just got to make sure that with the new quarterbacks, we’re still able to win.� The Roughriders have lost three in a row and four of their last five, but Chamblin said it’s no time to panic. They lost in Montreal late in the 2013 campaign and looked to be coming unglued, but then rallied and won the Grey Cup. “I remember post game saying I don’t have the answers but we’ll find them, and at the season’s end, we found the answers,� added Chamblin. “It’s the same. We have to find the answers collectively about how to win football games.� Allen gained 105 yards on the ground in the first half and didn’t gain another yard on two second-half carries. It was fitting that all the post game
talk was about quarterbacks on a day dedicated to the CFL’s all-time passing leader. The intermission was extended for a 25-minute halftime ceremony in which a banner with Calvillo’s name and number was mounted on the stadium wall. “The Alouettes have always done things right,� said Calvillo, who got a standing ovation from the season-high crowd of 23,069. “I was so nervous to get off the field. “As an athlete, I hated when things like this go on. I just wanted people off the field so we could play. That’s what I was trying to do. Enjoy the moment, get off the stage and let these guys get back to work.� Higgins let his team out five minutes early to catch the end of the ceremony. Then they blew open a game they led 21-7 at half time.
a minimum of eights weeks after the rookie forward suffered a lower body injury in practice last week. Import rookie defenceman Hugo Jansons, meanwhile, is back skating with the Rebels although Sutter hasn’t set a date for his return to action. Jansons hasn’t played a regular-season game due to an upper body injury. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

REBELS: Have to respond the right way “Maybe ‘Tother’ wasn’t as sharp as he needed to be on a couple of those goals, but at the same time you have to respond the right way and help your goalie out,â€? said Sutter. “We’re a young team, but also an experienced team now because we’ve been through it for a year. We needed to have a response to a situation like that. “We’ve given up way too many goals in the last five games. We’ve given up 24 goals and scored 10, and there’s a reason why we’ve only scored 10 goals. We just don’t have the puck enough and our puck management isn’t very good. We’re spending too much time chasing the puck or not making smart decisions with it. “That was evident Saturday night where we just started turning pucks over and weren’t as good as we needed to be in our end during that bad stretch and it cost us.â€? Sutter didn’t like his team’s lack of third-period vehemence with the game still on the line. “It was a one-goal game and we needed to have a response in the third period,â€? he said. “But we had two shots after the 10-minute mark. There wasn’t enough intensity and fire to regroup and get it back. “Those are habits and things we need to correct and they’ve certainly been addressed again these last couple of days. I’m not happy at all with our home record and that our consistency at home hasn’t been good enough.â€? The Rebels can start reversing their tepid homeice trend when they host the Victoria Royals tonight. “We have to regroup, we have to hit the reset button and start over, but there has to be some urgency in our game,â€? said Sutter. “Right through our lineup, there has to be more of an edge, more fire. “Our team game has to get better. We have to establish an identity of how we play on a nightly basis, not just a game here and a game there.â€? • The Rebels will be without Brayden Burke for at

SHIFT: Exciting game But it has Hunting Hills that much more motivated to get back to the championship game. “You want some pretty high stakes in what will already be an exciting game for a league final, and that’s fine because I don’t think we have a single player that doesn’t want a third crack at them,� said

Sedgwick. “But we’re going to have eight quarters against Notre Dame and they always play us tough and they’ve been getting better all year with their young players.� Perhaps the biggest issue for the Raiders if they make it to provincials, is they will be going in blind. They have never played at the tier II level provincially and are not familiar with any of the teams — their one measuring stick for what awaits them is the Lightning. “Hunting Hills is one of the highest quality tier II schools in the province and we match up against them, so I’m hoping we can match up against the rest,� said Smith. “Hunting is a strong tier II school, so I’m kind of taking that as a gauge, but we’re trying very hard just to keep our eye on the next game.� jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Alouettes 40 Roughriders 9 MONTREAL — Jonathan Crompton doesn’t have the rocket arm or the calm demeanour of Anthony Calvillo, but so far, he wins just like the former Montreal Alouettes quarterback great. On a Monday afternoon that featured the retirement of Calvillo’s No. 13 jersey, Crompton threw three touchdown passes as the Alouettes drubbed the Saskatchewan Roughriders 40-9 for their third win in a row. Crompton, who is 5-1 since he took over as the starter from Troy Smith and Alex Brink, completed only 12 of 25 passes, put picked up 225 yards with a pair of touchdown tosses to Duran Carter and another to Brandon London. “Jonathan continues to do what we ask him to do, which is lead the team and get wins,� said coach Tom Higgins. “His record speaks for itself right now. “The only way to evaluate a quarterback is if you win with him. Jonathan’s a winner and that’s the reason we’re on this roll.� Third string quarterback Tanner Marsh also scored on a one-yard plunge for Montreal (6-8). Sean Whyte added four field goals. The Alouettes were a mess early in the season as they searched for a replacement for Calvillo, their starter since 2000 who retired in January. The Roughriders (9-6), who could have clinched a playoff spot with a win, have been in the same situation since starter Darian Durant’s season ended with right elbow surgery last month. Neither Tino Sunseri nor Seth Doege has stepped up to claim the job. Sunseri started and went 7 for 12 for 72 yards, with a TD toss to Anthony Allen, an interception and a fumble. Doege took over in the fourth quarter and was 3 for 6 for 37 yards and an interception. “We’ve got to find answers to everything,� said Riders coach Corey Chamblin. “It has to be more than the quarterback situation. “We have young guys in there and we depend on them to step up, but we understand that Darian’s not playing and we’re not hiding our heads in the
Chris Rainey ran the kickoff to the Saskatchewan 43 and Crompton hit Carter with a 25-yard TD pass. After a Whyte field goal, Allen fumbled on an exchange with Sunseri and Winston Venable recovered on the 30, from which Crompton hit London in the end zone. Montreal gave up only a safety in the second half. “There is emotion you can tap into and we did that,� said Higgins. “We didn’t want to be too high. “That would be terrible because all of a sudden you’re trying too hard. But there was a plan. We had our own five minute warning and we got our players out. I think they appreciated it, and it was special for Anthony to see his (former) teammates out on the field.� Montreal joined Toronto and Hamilton atop the East Division with six wins, setting up a three-way battle for what will likely be two playoff spots open for East Division teams. The Alouettes play at Toronto on Saturday, then end the season with games against Ottawa, Toronto and Hamilton. “All three teams control their destiny,� said Higgins. “We all play each other. “It’s who is going to line up and finish the season on a positive note. One will get the (first round) bye, one will be second and the third one might not make it.� The Roughriders controlled the ball early as Allen ran the ball repeatedly, but it took an Alouettes turnover to set up the first score as Tristan Jackson recovered Carter’s fumble at the Montreal 35. Five plays later, Sunseri hit Allen with an 11-yard TD pass. Montreal tied it after Sunseri fumbled and John Bowman recovered on the Saskatchewan 25. A pass interference call against Terrell Maze put the ball on the one, and Marsh ran it in at 5:02 of the second quarter. Five minutes later, Crompton hit Carter with a pass over the middle and the slotback ran it 61 yards for a TD. It was Carter’s 100th career catch. After Montreal conceded a safety in the fourth, Doege handed Geoff Tisdale his second interception of the day. QB Kerry Joseph, 41, who signed with the Riders this week, was used on one short yardage play.

49ers defence dominant in win over Rams BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 49ers 31 Rams 17 ST. LOUIS — Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers answered St. Louis’ fast start with a big finish. Kaepernick threw for 343 yards and three touchdowns, helping the 49ers erase an early 14-point deficit and beat the Rams 31-17 on Monday night. Brandon Lloyd, Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree each caught a scoring pass for the 49ers (4-2), who have won three in a row. Ahmad Brooks and Dan Skuta had two sacks apiece for a stifling defence that sacked Austin Davis five times and permitted one first down on St. Louis’ first six possessions of the second half. “Our receivers did a great job today,” Kaepernick said. “Our offensive line did a great job, protecting us and giving us time.” Kaepernick found Boldin zipping across the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown pass, capping a go-ahead 80-yard drive to start the second half. As the Niners were taking the 17-14 lead, several fans in the upper deck unfurled a large banner above the videoboard on the opposite end of the stadium as part of ongoing protests about the Michael Brown shooting in suburban Ferguson in August. San Francisco then added to its advantage when Kaepernick connected with Crabtree for a 32-yard score with 13 sec-
onds left in the third. The Rams had one last chance to tie the game, but Dontae Johnson returned an interception 20 yards for the clinching score with 53 seconds to go. It was a disappointing end for St. Louis, which had 151 yards and a 14-0 lead after the first quarter on Benny Cunningham’s 1-yard run and a 22-yard touchdown reception for Lance Kendricks. St. Louis wore throwback uniforms — royal blue and bright yellow — to honour its 1999 Super Bowl title team and represented that winning squad very well for a short time. Guard Adam Timmerman joined wide receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt for an impromptu bob n’ weave TD dance in the end zone at halftime. The Rams haven’t had a winning season since the Greatest Show on Turf petered out in 2003. They doubled their first-quarter scoring for the year with a start that mimicked their last home game when they led Dallas 21-0. They lost that one 34-31, and this one was all San Francisco the rest of the way. The 49ers scuffled to a 1-2 start coming off a third straight appearance in the NFC championship game, but have won 13 of their last 14 in October. Davis was 18 for 36 for 205 yards. He threw for 300 yards each of the last two games with six touchdown passes. Three of Davis’ four interceptions have been returned

The 49ers had four penalties before the end of their first possession, three accepted, and one the rest of the way. One of the early miscues, illegal contact on Eric Reid, handed the Rams a second first-and-goal on their opening drive capped by Cunningham’s TD behind extra lineman Tim Barnes.

ALCS Game 3 between Kansas City and Baltimore postponed because of rain TO BE REPLAYED TODAY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The last two times the Kansas City Royals played a post-season game at home, rain fell after the final out. This time, it started well before the first pitch. Game 3 of the AL Championship Series between the Royals and Baltimore Orioles was postponed Monday because of steady rain that saturated Kauffman Stadium. The game was rescheduled for Tuesday at 8:07 p.m. EDT. Along with steady rain, wind gusts of 25 mph were buffeting the ballpark. The forecast for Tuesday is cold and windy but dry, with weather improving the rest of the week. “We want a game we know we can get through nine innings, hopefully play dry baseball, not risk player safety or uncomfortable fans,” Major League Baseball Senior Vice-President Peter Woodfork said about 4 hours before the scheduled first pitch. The Royals, who lead the best-ofseven series 2-0, will keep former Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie on the mound for Game 3. The Orioles will start Wei-Yin Chen, as planned. After that, rotations become a little murky. Royals manager Ned Yost said he’ll decide before Tuesday night’s game whether to stick with left-hander Jason Vargas for Game 4 on Wednesday or call for an audible and pitch Game 1 starter James Shields on regular rest. That game is scheduled to start at 4:07 p.m. EDT. “Guthrie will throw tomorrow, and then we’ll go from there,” Yost said. “Shields can come back or if we feel like we want to give him another day, we can do that, too.”
but declined to play it safe and Lloyd whipped Janoris Jenkins in single coverage on an 80-yard touchdown catch with 14 seconds left in the half. “We had Brandon Lloyd on a double move,” Kaepernick said. “We liked the matchup. He did an amazing job.” Boldin made two thirddown grabs on the go-ahead scoring drive in the third quarter, including one for 15 yards on 3rd-and-12 to the 20.
reer carry was a 24-yarder that might have gone the distance had he not run into teammate Brian Quick. Three plays later, Kendricks got well behind the defence on a 22-yard catch that made it 14-0 late in the first. The 49ers inched back on Phil Dawson’s 54-yard field goal, his 10th in a row with four beyond midfield. They were backed up at their own 5 inside the two-minute warning
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Orioles manager Buck Showalter was facing a similar conundrum. Miguel Gonzalez was slated to start Game 4, but Chris Tillman could return on regular rest. He opposed Shields when the Royals beat the Orioles in extra innings in the series opener. “He’s on normal rest, so yeah, he’s an option,” Showalter said. “That’d be five (days), right? But I wouldn’t commit to anything right now other than Chen and see where we are.” It’s not a slam-dunk decision for Yost and Showalter to go with their aces. Shields and Tillman struggled Friday night, neither lasting past the fifth inning. “We’re still getting our arms wrapped around it,” Showalter said. If needed, Game 5 would start at 4:07 p.m. EDT on Thursday. Games 6 and 7 would return to Baltimore and be played Friday and Saturday, as scheduled. “Our teams are used to play consecutive games in a row,” Woodfork said. “Hopefully it will not have a negative impact on the clubs.” Rain had been in the forecast for the first two games of the ALCS at Camden Yards, but both games were played without delay. The Royals won the first 8-6 in 10 innings, and Alcides Esocbar’s go-ahead double in the ninth inning boosted them to a 6-4 victory Saturday. Since the best-of-seven format was adopted in 1985, all 11 teams that have won the first two games of a league championship series on the road reached the World Series. That doesn’t seem to have put a damper on the Orioles’ confidence. “We’ve played two close games that have gone their way. We’ve had our chances,” Orioles reliever Andrew Miller said.
SAN FRANCISCO — The St. Louis Cardinals arrived in the Bay Area ballpark they know so well in October and began preparing for the possibility of facing the Giants without star catcher Yadier Molina. “Another beautiful day in NorCal!” reliever Randy Choate shouted as he hopped up the dugout steps and onto the field for Monday’s workout. Manager Mike Matheny is encouraged Molina might be able to help St. Louis as soon as Tuesday in Game 3, perhaps initially just off the bench as he recovers from a strained left oblique muscle sustained in Sunday’s 5-4 victory at Busch Stadium. Playing at all appeared doubtful only a night earlier, then Molina played catch under cloudless skies at AT&T Park and gave Matheny hope. “A little better than what I expected,” Molina said afterward. “When I woke up, I was moving all right. We’ll see. I’m going to try.” A.J. Pierzynski is the likely choice to catch former Boston teammate John Lackey in Game 3, and deemed himself ready. The best-of-seven series is tied 1-1. Molina flew on the team charter on Sunday night after having an MRI. Once the Cardinals arrived at the ballpark on Monday, Molina met with team doctors and medical staff in the training room of the visitors’ clubhouse. Matheny carried three catchers and

has Tony Cruz and Pierzynski to fill the big void. “Obviously it’s a big loss, but we spent some time without him this year and we’re fortunate to have A.J. and Tony, who are two really good players,” infielder Mark Ellis said. “We’re lucky to have them but I feel bad for Yadi because this is what he worked for the whole year and he’s not able to be with us.” Tim Hudson takes the ball for the Giants, the 39-year-old right-hander’s first start beyond the division series in 16 major league seasons. He is already thriving in the raucous playoff environment of pumped-up crowds. “At this point in my career, it’s almost like a shot of coffee,” he said. While noting he wishes no ill will for the injured Molina, Hudson would be fine not having to face the slugging catcher. There are plenty of other big bats to contend with, anyway. “That would be a pretty big blow for them, not only from an offensive standpoint but from a defensive standpoint how he handles those pitchers.” Hudson said. “But it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if he’s not in the lineup for a few days, there’s no question about that.” As the series shifts to San Francisco’s pitcher-friendly ballpark, the Cardinals know plenty about how the Giants protect their home field. Two years ago, St. Louis arrived in town leading the NLCS 3-2 before the Giants rallied to take the series on the way to their second championship in three years.

Cusumano returns to Kings basketball lineup BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE When Jacob Cusumano left RDC last spring he was sure it was for the last time. But after requesting, and receiving, an extra year of eligibility because of medical reasons the Windsor, Ont., native is back in the RDC Kings basketball uniform for one more season. “I requested an extra year after missing my first year in the States, following injury problems, and I found out in July I got that year back,” explained Cusumano. “I was training at the time because I hoped to get it back and when it happened I was ready.” Cusumano was more than happy to return to Alberta. “It was tough to leave (after last season) because this is like family to me. Even the new guys who come in are ready to accept the RDC spirit and be part of the family,” he said. “I wanted to be back as I wanted another shot (at a national title) and I feel we have the team to do it. We have a group of guys who are willing to believe in the coach’s system and philosophy.” Cusumano, along with Matt Johnson and Brian Prenoslo, who are both in their third season, are team leaders as is second-year guard JP Leblanc, who missed most of last year with an injury. “All the veterans have stepped up and embraced the leadership role,” said the 24-year-old Cusumano. “You can see it in practice, in the gym, in the weight room and the new guys are feeding off it. “The (new) guys are asking us questions all the time. They ask what it takes to get to the nationals and what they have to do to prepare . . . what they have to work on. They ask about different plays and they appreciate the help and guidance.” The Kings, who won silver at the nationals last year, are just starting to come together and showed a lot of their ability Saturday in defeating Ambrose College of Calgary 106-61 and The King’s University Eagles 89-49. Cusumano, who had 10 points against Ambrose and seven against the Eagles, is a pure outside shooter, but looks to expand his role this season. “I hope to take a little bigger role

RDC Kings guard, Riley McCallum fends off his Ambrose University College Lions opponent during one of two games the mens team played Saturday. The Kings were victorious over the Lions, defeating them 106-61. than just a spot up shooter,” he said. “We have guys who are great at penetrating, scoring and finding the open man so in some ways I’ll have a similar role, but just expanding it a bit. We also have several others who can play
my role as well.” The players, young and old, fit into the system head coach Clayton Pottinger has put in place. “We have guys who can run and gun and are athletic,” said Cusumano.
“They want to play D and are what the coaches are looking for.” Cusumano, who is taking sociology, also spends time away from the court promoting the Kings. “I work with the Hoops program and also spend time working with younger kids in the city whether it’s officiating or helping them learn the game. It’s a chance to promote the game and promote RDC basketball.” The Kings are coming together as a team despite the fact they’ve suffered a number of injuries over the first few weeks of camp and also couldn’t use a couple of their players in the ACAC/ CIS Showcase the pevious weekend because their transfers weren’t completed. “We’re closer to a full team than we have been for sure,” said Pottinger. “This was a good weekend for us. I’m glad the two teams could make it so we could get a couple of good solid games in. We certainly were better at some stuff than we have been. Better at things we’ve been working on in practice.” Pottinger stresses there are still things to work on. “We still have a long way to go. We’ve said this team has to be better than last year’s team to be a contender. We’re still working to get to that point, but the truth be told we’re ahead at this point compared to where we were last year.” The Kings showed their ability on defence against the Eagles and also showed their depth. Both players just out of high school — Matt Cummings of Carstairs and Riley McCallum of Calgary Centennial High School — didn’t look out of place. Cummings finished with 10 points against the Eagles while Benny Bankazo of Kitchener, Ont., had 20 points, Johnson 14 and Keyano transfer Mike Zurakowski 11. Johnson had 15 points against Ambrose with Bankazo, Leblanc, Tyler Wise and Marcellus Clay scoring 13 each and Prenoslo 11. The RDC teams open their regular schedule Friday when they host SAIT. The women tip off at 6 p.m., followed by the men. Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter and can be reached at drode@reddeeradvocate.com. His work can also be seen at www.rdc.ab.ca/athletics blog
Buffalo selected to Avalanche’s MacKinnon earns praise host 2016 NHL draft from peers as NHL’s fastest skater BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Ask players around the league who’s the fastest skater in the NHL and the same names come up: Taylor Hall, Michael Grabner, Blake Wheeler, Andrew Cogliano and Carl Hagelin. Edmonton’s Hall likes the speed of New York Islanders’ Grabner, but he mentioned another player without hesitation. “Nathan MacKinnon,” Hall said of the young Colorado Avalanche player. “When we played against him last year, he took off at one point during the game and I’d never seen anything like that.” MacKinnon, last year’s Calder Trophy winner as rookie of the year with 24 goals and 39 assists, might be the best combination of speed and skill since Pavel Bure. Hall believes if he raced against MacKinnon and Grabner, which could happen at the AllStar skills competition in Colum-
bus in January, the 19-year-old budding Avalanche star would win. But Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog pointed out another aspect of MacKinnon’s speed that makes him so dangerous. “I go another step and say he’s the fastest skater in the league with the puck,” Landeskog said. “It’s easy to be fast without the puck, but when you have the puck, it’s a completely different thing. That’s what Nate does so well.” Landeskog spent his first three NHL seasons playing with former Avalanche centre Paul Stastny, who is now with the St. Louis Blues. Landeskog said Stastny is adapt at slowing the game down to make plays, but what MacKinnon does so well is think and play the game at full speed. “That’s what the best players do,” Landeskog said. “They’re a step ahead and I think when it comes to Nate, when you’re able to move at a high pace and stickhandle at the same time and make
moves at the same time, that’s when it’s hard on defencemen.” MacKinnon, who will face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday at Air Canada Centre, isn’t eager to dissect his own game. But he knows he needs quick speed bursts to be successful. “Obviously, I think my speed is my biggest strength, for sure my skating or whatever,” he said. “I think when you get the puck you’re always so excited, you have a little extra jump in your step.” MacKinnon showed off his speed when he raced against Canadian gold-medal speedskater Charles Hamelin in a promotional skate video. In the 50-foot race from blue line to blue line, MacKinnon beat Hamelin with a time of 2.5 seconds. In past skills competitions, players have raced a lap around the outside of the rink. Mike Gartner set the record of 13.386 seconds in 1996, which Hagelin of the New York Rangers broke (13.218) at the last event.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres are already hosting the NHL’s annual pre-draft scouting combine in each of the next two years. Now, they’re getting the 2016 draft. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman formally announced Buffalo’s selection at a news conference shortly before the Sabres’ home game against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday afternoon. “Awarding the 2016 NHL draft to Buffalo honours the passion of its fans for our sports and reflects the commitment Terry and Kim Pegula to the Sabres and to Buffalo,” Bettman said, referring to the Sabres owners. Bettman said that awarding the draft to Buffalo also builds on the growing buzz taking place in the city after the Pegulas completed their purchase of the NFL Buffalo Bills last week. “They’re great owners,” Bettman said. “The fact that they have so invested themselves in Buffalo and the Buffalo sports scene is great news for the city.” It will mark the third time Buffalo will be home to the league’s annual draft. The Sabres previously hosted the draft in 1991
and ’98. The draft is scheduled for June 24 and 25, 2016. Aside from Montreal, which was home to the draft from 1963-’84, Buffalo will become the NHL’s first market to hold the event more than twice. Next year’s draft will be held in Sunrise, Florida. The timing of the announcement further boosts Buffalo’s reputation as a major North American hockey market. In August, the NHL selected Buffalo to host the next to rookie combines, which had previously been exclusively held in suburban Toronto. Buffalo has played host to two of the past three USA Hockey All-American Prospects games.

Numbers say Kadri better as No. 1 centre
BRIEFS Chiefs finish weekend with a loss and a tie Ryley Smith and Brad Makofka accounted for the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs goals in a 6-2 Alberta Midget Hockey League loss Sunday to the host Grande Prairie Storm. Cole Sears and Branden Bilodeau combined to make 31 saves for the Chiefs, who were outshot 37-35. On Saturday, Smith tallied twice as the Chiefs earned a 5-5 draw with the host Edmonton Southside Athletics. Tyler Graber, Chase Olsen and Andrew Kartusch rounded out the Red Deer scoring, while Bilodeau made 38 saves. The Chiefs were outshot 43-32. The Chiefs, who entertain the Lethbridge Hurricanes Friday at 8 p.m. at the Arena, are 2-2-2 and are tied for fourth spot — with the Calgary Royals — in the South Division.
Gerrie scores four to lead Grizzlys past Wolverines Chris Gerrie fired four goals and assisted on another to lead the Olds Grizzlys to a 9-6 win over the host Whitecourt Wolverines in an AJHL contest Saturday. Also scoring for the Grizzlys, who were coming off an 8-6 victory over the Storm Saturday at Grande Prairie, were Josh Zablocki, Landon Kletke, Joshua Murphy, Dustin Gorgi and Ty Mappin. Alex Brewer contributed three assists for the visitors, who got a 25-save performance from Billy Gorn. Replying for the Wolverines were John Mullally with two goals, Jordan Davies, Joel Kocur, Ryan McKinnon and Jared Freadrich. Whitecourt netminder Josh Bykowski made 19 saves. On Saturday, the Grizzlys gave up six powerplay goals but still prevailed thanks to a pair of late markers from Mappin, who potted the winner at 18:14 of the third period and added an empty-net tally 59 seconds later. Kletke also scored twice for Olds, which never trailed in the game, while Gerrie, Gorgi, Austin Kernahan and Kirk Johnson each added a single.
Jordan Piccolino turned aside 16 shots for the Grizzlys, with Liam McLeod blocking 31 at the other end. Tristan Crozier and Jade McMullen each netted two goals for the hosts, who got additional markers from Ben Assad and Chase Bell. The Grizzlys return to action Friday in Calgary versus the Canucks, then host the Canmore Eagles 24 hours later.
CA Sting win gold in first ringette tournament of season The Central Alberta Sting, comprised of players from Red Deer and Lacombe, won gold in their first ringette tournament of the season during the weekend. The under-14 AA squad posted four wins and a tie in the St. Albert tournament, including a 7-3 victory over the host Mission in the final. Earlier, the Sting tied St. Albert and beat the Edonton Elite 6-3, then edged the Mission 4-3 and doubled the Elite 6-3. The Central Alberta team will compete in the Wood tournament at Edmonton next month, will host an event in December and hope to attend an out-of-town tournament in January before playing in the provincials at St. Albert in February.
erably better when playing with Kadri than with Bozak. In some cases (wingers Joffrey Lupul, David Clakson, Mason Raymond) the differences were astronomical. This leaves little doubt Kadri is the better player. So the conclusion has to be that Kadri should be the first-line centre, right? Ordinarily the answer would be an unequivocal “yes.” But in this particular instance there’s a weird dynamic working in the background. The graph illustrates that definite secondliner Lupul and possible second-liner Clarkson do so much worse with Bozak than Kadri that moving Bozak onto the second line would decimate that line’s productivity. This confirms the Bozak-haters’ belief that his success is due much more to his elite wingers than Bozak himself. But at the same time it cuts the legs out

from the anti-Bozak camp’s argument that he should be deposed from the top line. Even though Kadri is clearly the better player, and even though Kessel and van Riemsdyk do considerably better with Kadri, the numbers show that a second line with Bozak in the middle would be so feeble that in the aggregate the top two lines’ production would be much lower.

teams that are taken by a player’s team when he’s on the ice. Because shot attempts happen so much more often than goals, it takes far fewer games for CF% to provide a reasonable measure of performance, and CF% has been shown to be a good predictor of goals over the long run. Second, regardless of whether P/60 or CF% is used, if we just compare the individual numbers of the two centres the comparison won’t be apples-to-apples because Bozak gets to play with much better linemates. A straight-up comparison of each player’s P/60 or CF% would be measuring (1) whether Bozak playing with Kessel and JVR is better than Kadri playing with second-liners. But what we really want to know is (2) whether Bozak playing with Kessel and van Riemsdyk is better than Kadri playing with Kessel and JVR. It turns out that in the 271 minutes Kadri played with Kessel and van Riemsdyk last season, that line’s CF% was 49.3. In the 831 minutes Bozak played with those wingers, their CF% was only 46.2 (stats courtesy of Progressivehockey.com). That’s a big difference, and it strongly suggests Kadri is the right man for the job. Now 271 isn’t a whole lot of minutes, so to double-check my results I expanded the comparison to include every Leaf that Bozak or Kadri played with for 200-plus minutes last year. As the graphic shows, with only a single exception (defenceman Cody Franson) every single Leaf did consid-

In Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk, the Maple Leafs have arguably the most potent pair of first-line wingers in the NHL. Last year the two finished sixth and 16th in the league in goals, with a total of 67 between them. Imagine the damage they could do if they had a bona fide first-line centre to play with. Chris Kunitz has Sidney Crosby. Corey Perry has Ryan Getzlaf. Patrick Sharp has Jonathan Toews. Alex Ovechkin has Nicklas Backstrom. Kessel and van Riemsdyk have ... Tyler Bozak. To say that Bozak isn’t exactly your prototypical first-line centre in the mold of the superstars listed above is like saying Tim Tebow isn’t exactly Peyton Manning. Bozak did score 2.32 points per 60 minutes (5-on-5) last year, which was the highest among all Leafs centres. But that’s hardly enough to silence Toronto’s notoriously unforgiving fan base, who insist Bozak’s really not much more than a passable third-liner who’s managed to hit the jackpot by getting slotted between two of the league’s premier wingmen. The alternative to Bozak is second-line centre Nazem Kadri. He has shown flashes of brilliance in his four-year NHL career, but he’s also spent much of the last few seasons in coach Randy Carlyle’s doghouse because of his defensive lapses and perceived inconsistency. Kadri scored 1.71 points per 60 minutes (5-on5) last season. So which of the two should be the Leafs’ No. 1 man in the middle? Under old school thinking, Bozak’s considerably better P/60 would pretty much be the start and end of the discussion. But there are two problems with that approach. First, because goals happen so infrequently, points may not be an accurate measure of actual performance unless you’re using more than a full season’s data. One way to account for this problem is to measure performance using Corsi For % (CF%) — which is the percentage of all shot attempts by both

SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda — Jim Furyk thinks it’s time for the Americans to think long term about the Ryder Cup. Furyk and Rory McIlroy both said Monday at the PGA Grand Slam of Golf that the public fallout from another American loss in the Ryder Cup last month at Gleneagles could be helpful. Europe now has won eight of the last 10 times. The next Ryder Cup is at Hazeltine in 2016, though Furyk said the Americans need to look beyond that. “In the Ryder Cup, we have always talked about, ’We have got to win the next one.’ I think we’ve got to be a little more farsighted than that,” Furyk said. “I think we need to look at the next 10 to 20 years of Ryder Cup golf. ... For the next 20 years we got 10 events. Let’s think about maybe 5-5 is good, let’s think about 6-4, let’s think about 7-3. Let’s go on the winning side of it.” “When we look back the last 20 years, it’s probably a 2-8 type of deal,” he said. “Let’s reverse that tide and get it moving forward.” In the weeks since the most recent loss, various reports have painted an ugly picture of U.S. captain Tom Watson’s heavy-handed style and oldschool motivation. In an awkward and at times uncomfortable press conference at Gleneagles, Phil Mickelson raved about what worked in their last win in 2008 and that Watson ignored that winning formula.
“In a way, it’s not a bad thing that the PGA of America might start looking at the Ryder Cup a little differently or trying to sort of come at it from a different angle,” McIlroy said. “So in the end, it might not have been a bad thing to shake things up a little.” Furyk said the back-and-forth about the captain has been unfortunate. “I think Rory is spot on,” Furyk said. “The silver lining may be that it gives us a chance to have an open discussion. I want to look at the past, I want to see where we made our mistakes, and how we can get better.” The PGA of America is responsible for selecting the captain. It now wants to create a task force of past players and captains to find ways to improve. Paul Azinger, the captain of the last U.S. team that won in 2008 at Valhalla, is not interested in being part of a committee just yet. He said Monday by telephone that it was too soon after the most recent matches, and he has a meeting already scheduled next month with the PGA of America. Azinger did not want to talk about the details of what he would share with the PGA. Furyk said he is curious to hear different ideas, especially because it would be the first time everyone was heard as a group. “Amongst ourselves, we talked a lot about where we have gone wrong in the past, what can we do better in the future,” he said. “I’m anxious to kind of see the views from all different angles from the officers, from the captains, from the players.”

Drivers, from front, Danica Patrick, Joey Logano, Brian Vickers, Denny Hamlin, and Brad Keselowski race out of Turn 3 during the NASCAR Sprint Cup series Bank of America 500 auto race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C., Saturday.
CONCORD, N.C. — Matt Kenseth, usually so calm and composed, lost his cool and attacked Brad Keselowski at Charlotte Motor Speedway. If Kenseth is fighting, then tempers are certainly running quite high. They reached a boiling point in the aftermath of Saturday night’s race as Keselowski, Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson all saw their championship hopes fade to near-desperate status. The pressure is on — every week — in NASCAR’s new championship format, and the frayed nerves unraveled on the track, on pit road and in the garage. Denny Hamlin had to be restrained from going after Keselowski, but Kenseth got to the 2012 champion in the dark alley-like area between a pair of Team Penske haulers. Kenseth quickly approached Keselowski from behind and nearly tackled him. He had Keselowski wrapped in his arms when crew members quickly peeled him off, and Keselowski crew chief Paul Wolfe pulled Kenseth out of the scrum in what appeared to be a choke hold. As race winner Kevin Harvick celebrated in Victory Lane, activity in the garage came to a near-halt as drivers and crews watched replays of the melee. “When you see Matt Kenseth mad enough to fight, you know that this is intense because that’s way out of character for him,” Harvick said. “When you see that emotion out of Matt Kenseth, you know that NASCAR has done the right thing to this Chase because everybody is on offence and gouging for every single position that you can get every lap.” That was at the root of the post-race Charlotte activities: There is no room for error in the Chase, and a bad night will put a driver on the brink of elimination. Kenseth, who struggled for large portions of the race and was penalized by NASCAR before the start for an unapproved adjustment made to his car, was incensed that Keselowski hit his car on pit road after the checkered flag. Kenseth had already taken off his seatbelts and lowered his window net, and he felt the contact from Keselowski could have caused injury. “If you want to talk about it as a man, try to do that,” Kenseth said. For his part, Keselowski said the hit on Kenseth was warranted because
Kenseth had driven across his nose under a caution with six laps remaining. That contact caused front-end damage that Keselowski believed contributed to his 16th-place finish. The two had an earlier incident while racing for the lead when Kenseth was squeezed into the wall while he attempted to pass Keselowski. Hamlin was upset with how Keselowski raced him for position with two laps remaining. Hamlin felt Keselowski pushed him too hard into a corner, contact that sent both drivers plummeting in the field. Hamlin admitted to brake-checking Keselowski during the cool-down lap, and Keselowski retaliated with a failed attempt to spin Hamlin. That’s when Keselowski set his sights on Kenseth, hitting him on a busy pit road. Tony Stewart was the innocent bystander in that mess, with his car drilled from behind after Keselowski hit Kenseth. He responded by backing his car up and into Keselowski to crumple Keselowski’s front end. Keselowski then headed to the garage, with Hamlin in pursuit. Their cars made contact and were briefly stuck together, so Keselowski hit the gas to pull away. That left a burnout mark and led Hamlin to accuse Keselowski of being “out of control.” Keselowski met with NASCAR after a cooling-off period. Kenseth crew chief Jason Ratcliff went voluntarily to talk to NASCAR, and Kenseth crew member Jesse Sanders was summoned by officials. It’s not clear if Keselowski — or Hamlin or Kenseth — will be punished by NASCAR on Tuesday, the day penalties are traditionally issued. NASCAR vice-president of competition Robin Pemberton said the sanctioning body will review the final on-track laps, and everything that occurred on pit road and in the garage. NASCAR in May fined Marcos Ambrose and Casey Mears for fighting in the garage after a race at Richmond. Harvick was fined in 2011 for a pitroad confrontation with Kyle Busch in which NASCAR cited safety concerns of Busch using his car to push Harvick’s car away. The next year, Kurt Busch was fined $50,000 for dangerous driving on pit road when he hit Ryan Newman’s car during a confrontation. But in the case of Saturday, with so much focus on the new Chase and the attention for the post-race skirmishes, it’s not clear if NASCAR will punish those involved or pat them on the back.

Moratorium opposed BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Landowners have voiced their objection to a controversial development moratorium proposed by Mountain View County. A standing room-only crowd of about 100 gathered at county council chambers in Didsbury on Thursday. About two dozen spoke at a five-hour public hearing against the moratorium that would apply to a 9,600-acre flood-prone area southwest of Sundre. County Reeve Bruce Beattie said a recurring criticism of the moratorium was that it covered too large an area and applied to land that has not previously flooded. “I think the general consensus was they really wanted more clarity around where the flood zone and flood fringe was going to be,” said Beattie. “Their biggest concern was the boundary, that it was too large and didn’t need to be.” The area was chosen based on the work of Golder
MOUNTAIN VIEW COUNTY Associates, consultants commissioned to review flood issues and create a flood hazard map along a 13-km stretch of the Red Deer River in the county. Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development plans to present to the public for the first time the findings of the consultants in a draft report. That Nov. 4 meeting will be used to gather local input before a final report is completed and submitted to the province. Beattie said council is holding off on making a final decision on a moratorium until at least the Nov. 12 council meeting. Choosing an area to subject to a moratorium will likely prove difficult. While some landowners may not have been flooded previously, there is no guarantee that waters won’t reach them in future years. Red Deer River has changed dramatically in re-
cent years, carving new channels several hundred metres further north and closer to low-lying areas. County regulations already prohibit development in a flood zone. However, more clarity is needed from the province on what restrictions are coming and what kinds of development will be affected. Alberta’s Legislature passed the Flood Recovery and Reconstruction Act last December. New regulations will enshrine in law policies announced in July that will stop further development in floodways and ensure home buyers have more information on disaster assistance. Earlier this year, the province announced $3.1 million in funding to go towards a lengthy berm to protect against the river spilling its banks. Construction has yet to begin. Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development’s public information session takes place Nov. 4 at the Sundre Royal Canadian Legion. Doors open at 6 p.m., a presentation is set for 7 p.m. and the meeting will run until 9 p.m. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com
Public market wraps up 44th year BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF With one last chance to grab up some local food and flavour, just in time for Thanksgiving, the Red Deer Public Market’s season came to a close. On Saturday, the market’s 44th year wrapped up just the same as it does most years said market manager Dennis Moffat. “It was a typical last day,” said Moffat. “We had beautiful weather early, then we had a little rain about 9 a.m. and then it turned out beautiful. “All in all it was a wonderful fall morning and people were buying, not desperately, but they knew it was the last market so they made a lot of purchases and the vendors as happy as I’ve seen them.” In the same spot it has been for years, 4751 43rd St., the market boasts 202 vendors selling everything from fresh produce and food to collectible cards and comics and everything in between. “It was a cap to a very successful year,” said Moffat, thankful for the support from the community and the vendors who keep coming back year after year. Work for the market next year starts almost right away for Moffat, which will be the 45th year the public market has happened in Red Deer. “The calls really start coming in around January,” he said. Everyone is after a coveted corner stall, with the hope of attracting the most customers at a prime location. “It doesn’t make a big difference, if you have a good product the people will find you,” said Moffat. The location is just made for the market, Moffat said, because it is on a bus route, it is walkable for many residents and the parking is more than adequate. Though the Moffat believes that when the Winter Games come, something different will happen to the dirt lot across the street from the market. Currently the empty area is used for parking, but he believes is may have a new use over the next five years. “It was another wonderful year,” he said. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com Photos by ASHLI BARRETT/Advocate Staff

On Oct. 10 at about 5 p.m. members of the Red Deer RCMP General Investigation Section, Police Dog Services and uniformed members were called to a complaint of a suspicious pick up truck at a north Red Deer metal yard. Through investigation, police determined the vehicle had been reported stolen from Blackfalds. When police arrived, three males were attempting to sell copper wire that had been reported stolen from a welding truck earlier in the day. All three were arrested without incident. The 150 feet of welding cable is valued at about $1,500. All three men have been remanded into custody and will appear in Red Deer provincial court on Tuesday.

Tirole wins Nobel prize FRENCHMAN SHOWED HOW BEST TO REGULATE INDUSTRY GIANTS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS U.S. consumers might be paying less than they are for cable and Internet access if regulators had followed the guidance of Jean Tirole in promoting industry competition. So say experts in assessing the work of Tirole, a 61-year-old Frenchmen who won the Nobel prize in economics Monday for showing how to encourage better products and competitive prices in industries dominated by a few companies. “He has given us an instruction manual for what tool to use in what market,” said Torsten Persson of the prize committee. “Politicians would be stupid not to take his policy advice.” They haven’t always listened. Joshua Gans, management professor at the University of Toronto, says U.S. regulators didn’t follow Tirole’s advice to require cable and phone compa-
ECONOMICS nies to sell competitors access to “the last mile” of cable connecting homes to telecommunications networks. Instead, giants such as Comcast and Time Warner now control the last mile. To reach a home, a potential competitor must pay to install its own cable. That limits competition and allows existing telecom providers to charge more. As a result, Gans says, American consumers pay too much for cable TV and Internet access. Tirole, a professor at the Jean Tirole Toulouse School of Economics in France who earned a doctorate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the third Frenchman to win the $1.1 million Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, which has been dominated of late by U.S. economists. This is the first year since 1999 that an American has not been among the winners.
“I was incredibly surprised at the honour, and it took me half an hour to recoup” from the Nobel committee’s call, Tirole said in an interview with the website Nobelprize.org. Tirole did much of his work with his Toulouse School colleague Jean-Jacques Laffont, who died in 2004. Had he lived, Laffont “would have certainly shared” the prize with Tirole, says David Warsh, who follows academic economists on his Economic Principals blog. Tirole cannot be easily categorized as pro- or antiregulation. He agrees with free-market advocates that “because firms know more than regulators, regulation is necessarily going to be imperfect,” said Eric Maskin, a Harvard University economist who taught Tirole at MIT and who won a Nobel prize himself in 2007. “But that doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be regulation. You have to be very careful so you don’t do more harm than good.” At a news conference Monday, Tirole said, “The market needs a strong state to function normally.” Left unregulated, companies with few competitors can stop innovating and charge unnecessarily high prices. But attempts to regulate them often fail. Companies typically grow close to the government agencies that are supposed to supervise them and find ways to exploit regulations to block competitors.

KEYSTONE XL
Stage may be set for big vote on pipeline BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON — A certain Canadian pipeline appears poised to spring back to the top of the American political agenda, with the upcoming congressional elections setting the stage for a vote on the longdelayed Keystone XL project. Republicans have all but declared that they would try to use their new dominance in Congress to push through a Keystone bill, should they win the Senate in three weeks as many predict. The pipeline issue had been a little more dormant in Washington since the spring, as foreign crises came to dominate the political agenda while the Keystone process was mired in a regulatory delay. That period of calm appears poised to end. “It’s very, very likely that there will be a Keystone bill fairly early on in 2015,” Ben Lieberman, a counsel on the Republican-controlled House energy committee, told a gathering last week at the Wilson Center think-tank. Of course, lawmakers have attempted to ram Keystone legislation onto the president’s desk before. Such efforts stalled in the Senate, where the Democratic leadership prevented a vote. What would be different now, Lieberman said, is that the Senate calendar would no longer be controlled by Democrat leader Harry Reid — who was determined not to allow a Keystone vote onto the floor lest it cause divisions in his caucus, alienate his party base and donors, and create a painful dilemma for the president. Even if Keystone backers fall short of a filibusterproof 60 per cent of Senate votes, Lieberman said, the legislative game will have changed. He said there would be all sorts of new strategic possibilities. One would be to stick a Keystone provision into a must-pass spending bill, something President Barack Obama be loath to veto, and force him and his congressional allies into one of two options: Approve Keystone, or scrap the whole thing. “That raises the question,” Lieberman said, “What would President Obama do if a Keystone bill reaches him?”

McDonald’s fields unappetizing questions about its food BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — McDonald’s wants to explain why its burgers may not rot and that there are no worms in its beef. The world’s biggest hamburger chain is confronting unappetizing questions as part of a U.S. campaign to beat back perceptions that it serves Frankenfood. The company has run similar campaigns in Canada and Australia and said Monday it’s bringing the effort to its flagship market. The push comes as McDonald’s fights to boost its performance in the U.S., where sales slid 1.5 per cent at established locations in the most recent quarter, following a 0.2 per cent dip for last year. In addition to increased competition, McDonald’s is trying to keep up with changing tastes, with places such
as Chipotle marketing their food as more wholesome alternatives. To improve the image of its food, McDonald’s recently rolled out chicken wraps with sliced cucumbers and the option to substitute egg whites in breakfast sandwiches. It also plans to eventually let people swap out the french fries in value meals with options like salad or vegetables. For its latest campaign, among the first issues McDonald’s addresses are widely circulated online images and videos that show its burgers staying in tact after several weeks or even years. On its webpage, McDonald’s says that’s likely because the food has dehydrated, and that food needs moisture to form mould. The company’s responses to other questions such as “Does McDonald’s beef contain worms?” are more direct: “No. Gross! End of story.”
Longevity brings with it financial challenges Statistics clearly show that Canadians are living longer. While a long life can be a good thing, longevity also brings with it some unique financial challenges on both a micro and macro level. A recent study on longevity by the Office of the Chief Actuary of Canada predicts the country will continue to have one of the highest life expectancies of the world along with Japan, France, Switzerland, Italy and Australia. Life expectancies at birth of Canadians are projected to increase from 86 to 90 for men and from 89 to 93 for women over the period of 2013 to 2075. TALBOT Currently, five out of ten BOGGS Canadians aged 20 are expected to reach age 90 and one out of ten is expected to live to 100. In 1970, for example, the average life expectancy at birth in Canada was 69 years for males and 76 for

female. By 2011 that had increased to 79.3 years for males and 83.6 years for females. Between 1979 and 2009, life expectancy has increased as a result of a reduction in mortality rates after age 65 largely due to a decrease in death from heart diseases. “If mortality rates continue to decrease at the same rate as experienced over the last 15 years, a life expectancy at birth of 100 could be reached in 2094 for men and in 2121 for women. In addition, male life expectancy could exceed that of females from 2026 onward,” the report predicts. Today, according to Statistics Canada, there are more than 5.3 million people in the country 65 or older, accounting for about 15.3 per cent of the population. By 2061, it is estimated there will be more than 78,000 people 100 years or older living in Canada. Increasing longevity is creating major social concerns on a couple of levels. A study on the financial impact of longevity by the International Monetary Fund says a growing aging population creates financial risks for governments and private pension providers as well as individuals themselves. “Unexpected longevity, while clearly beneficial for individuals and society as a whole, is a financial

risk for governments and defined-pension providers who will have to pay out more in social benefits and pensions than expected,” the report says. “It may also be a financial risk to individuals who could run out of retirement resources themselves. These risks build slowly over time but if not addressed soon could have large negative effects on already weakened private and public sector balance sheets, making them more vulnerable to other shocks and potentially offsetting financial stability.” As life spans increase, people need to account for the financial and health issues that come with the possibility of living a longer life. “It’s clear there is a major demographic shift happening in this country,” says Chris Buttigieg, senior manager of wealth planning strategy with BMO Financial Group. “It’s important to evaluate both your physical and mental status so that you can identify what changes in your lifestyle are required to mitigate longevity risk. Ensuring that your finances are in order and that you have a strong social network in place are key to living a long and happy life.”

Index futures had pointed to a higher open in premarket trading early Monday, then the market opened lower and wavered for much of the day between small gains and losses. The late wave of selling was likely triggered by automated trading programs that started selling stocks when it became clear that the S&P 500 would close below an important technical level, said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives at Schwab Center for Financial Research. Many traders follow these levels to give them an indication about the near-term direction of the market. In this case, the S&P 500 closed below 1,905, the 200-day moving average price for the index.

Ebola wrecks three West African economies that were recovering from years of war WASHINGTON — Just as their economies had begun to recover from the man-made horror of coups and civil war, the West African nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone have been knocked back down by a terrifying force of nature: the Ebola virus. In addition to the human toll — more than 4,000 dead so far — the outbreak has paralyzed economic life. Across the Ebola zone, shops are closed, hotels vacant, flights cancelled, fields untended, investments on hold. In Conakry, capital of Guinea, stray dogs, goats and sheep are plopping down next to empty stalls in street markets devoid of shoppers. About the only things people want to buy are products meant to guard against Ebola — antiseptic gels and devices that attach to faucets and add chlorine to the water.
The IMF says there needs to be a multipronged approach to addressing the issue of longevity. This includes governments acknowledging the risk they face by offering defined benefit plans for their employees and through old age security plans and programs, sharing that risk between in-
the year on Friday and is now down 1.5 per cent for 2014 and 5.5 per cent below its September peak. Small-company stocks have fared much worse than the rest of the market as investors shun investments seen as more speculative. The Russell 2000 index has fallen 13.2 per cent since July. Airline stocks had some of the biggest declines on Monday. That sector has received a drubbing from investors recently as worries mount that the outbreak of the Ebola virus will curb travel spending. Concerns about a slowing global economy have also hurt the stocks. American Airlines Group fell $2.20, or 7.1 per cent, to $28.58 and Delta Air Lines fell $2.01, or 6.1 per cent, to $30.90. American has fallen 24 per cent in the last month, Delta 22.2 per cent. Investors found reasons to cheer some stocks. CSX led the gainers in the S&P 500 as investors reacted to a published report that another railroad operator has approached the company about
“These are selling like bread at the market,” said Cece Loua, who sells pharmaceutical products in Conakry. The World Bank has dramatically downgraded its expectations for economic growth this year in the three countries hardest hit by the outbreak. Guinea will grow 2.4 per cent, down from a previously forecast 4.5 per cent, it predicts; Liberia 2.5 per cent, down from 5.9 per cent; and Sierra Leone 8 per cent, down from 11.3 per cent. “It’s been really devastating,” said Rosa Whitaker, CEO of the consultancy the Whitaker Group and a former U.S. trade official. It’s an especially cruel turn for three impoverished economies that had been making steady progress after years of devastating conflict:
Germany shrugs off call for greater spending despite signs of slowing economic growth BERLIN — Germany’s government says it’s committed to keeping its spending in check, despite signs of an economic slowdown and widespread calls abroad for Berlin to pump money into the economy. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew on Saturday urged European countries with “external surpluses and fiscal flexibility” to do more to address weakdividuals, pension plan sponsors and governments, better education about longevity and its financial impact, increasing retirement ages and allowing greater flexibility for pension providers, for example, to reduce benefits in cases where it is not feasible to increase contributions or retirement ages.

market will avoid a “correction.” That’s Wall Street talk for a drop of 10 per cent or more, something that hasn’t happened since October 2011. Frederick is expecting the recent volatility to continue for a few more weeks yet. All told, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 223.03, or 1.4 per cent, to 16,321.07. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index shed 31.39, or 1.7 per cent, to 1,874.74. The Nasdaq slid 62.58 points, or 1.5 per cent, to 4,213.66. The VIX, a measure of volatility that is commonly called Wall Street’s “fear index,” climbed 12.7 per cent to 23.95, its highest level since June 2012. All of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 fell, led by energy with a decline of 2.9 per cent. Utilities, a safe-play sector, fell the least, just 0.1 per cent. The downturn leaves the S&P 500 up just 1.4 per cent for the year and down 6.8 per cent from its recent peak of 2,011.36 reached on Sept. 18. The Dow went negative for
a possible merger. The stock climbed $1.76, or 5.9 per cent, to $31.70. Atlas Energy vaulted 14.9 per cent on news of its acquisition by Targa Resources Partner. Atlas Energy added $4.84 to $37.25. Investors were looking ahead to earnings news from a number of big companies later this week including General Electric, Intel and Bank of America. Despite the recent volatility in the markets, the overall earnings outlook is good. Third-quarter earnings growth for companies in the S&P 500 is expected to be about 6.8 per cent compared with the same period a year ago, according to S&P Capital IQ. If earnings live up to or exceed analysts’ forecasts, that could help reassure investors, said Karyn Cavanaugh, senior market strategist at Voya Investment Management. “These companies haven’t changed from two months ago, when we were talking about alltime (market) highs, to today,” Cavanaugh said. “These are still
good companies, with good value and good earnings potential.” The price of U.S. oil slipped slightly and the global oil price fell sharply on expectations that OPEC countries will not cut output in response to lower global demand. Benchmark U.S. crude fell 8 cents to close at $85.74 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell $1.32 to close at $88.89 on the ICE Futures exchange in London. In other energy futures trading on the NYMEX, wholesale gasoline fell 0.3 cent to close at $2.255 a gallon, heating oil fell 0.3 cent to close at $2.557 a gallon and natural gas rose 5.7 cents to close at $3.916 per 1,000 cubic feet Gold rose $8.30 to $1,230 an ounce, silver rose four cents to $17.35 an ounce and copper was flat at $3.04 a pound.

ness in demand that was holding back growth. His comments were clearly aimed at Germany, which has recently received a string of weak economic reports that point toward recession. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman on Monday blamed the economic slump on international crises, like that in Ukraine, hitting exporting nations such as Germany. Steffen Seibert told reporters in Berlin that the government would stick by its plan for a balanced budget in 2015, a policy he described as “growthfriendly consolidation.”
China passenger vehicle sales growth continues slowdown to 6.4 per cent in September BEIJING — Growth in China’s car sales slowed again in September while the country’s own auto brands increased their market share slightly. An industry group said Monday that sales of passenger vehicles in the world’s biggest auto market rose 6.4 per cent in September from a year earlier, slowing from 8 per cent growth in August. Global automakers are looking to China to drive global sales but growth has slowed steadily from May’s rate of 13.9 per cent as the world’s second largest economy cools.

Airlines, energy and materials stocks were among the biggest decliners. The market is coming off its biggest weekly decline in more than two years. Many investors remain concerned that economic growth in Europe and Asia could be slowing. A meeting of Eurozone finance ministers in Luxembourg didn’t appear to ease those concerns. A measure of volatility soared, indicating investors are getting increasingly nervous. “There is a sense that ... the U.S. maybe can’t go it alone, that if global growth continues to weaken, the U.S. is not going to be able to sustained the kind of momentum we’ve been gaining since the first quarter,” said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial. “That’s the worry.” A late slide in the last halfhour of trading came after an oth-

Being an encourager Learning to live with beater cars “I can’t hit the broad side of a barn,” I lamented. “I’ll look like a fool.” I was chatting with my cousin, Lloyd. He had come out to the farm for his usual summer visit. I had been expressing anxiety about playing slowpitch with a group of guys at my new job. When asked to play, I had agreed but immediately regretted my decision. I was not what you might call athletic and couldn’t throw a ball to save my life. I couldn’t think of a way to graciously back out of my agreement. It looked as though humiliation would be inevitable. Later that day, Lloyd showed up with a softball and glove. “Come with me,” he said. I laughed when Lloyd led me around to the broad side of our old hip roofed barn. There on the wall he had nailed a piece of tin and in the centre he had spray painted a yellow bull’s-eye. “I’m going to help you hit the broad side of the barn,” he declared. Lloyd is and always has been an encourager. Quick with a kind word or a much-needed piece of advice. And what truly amazed me about Lloyd was that he was absolutely genuine. His praise, his advice and, most importantly, his encouragement was honest — from the heart. Honest encouragement can help us to feel empowered. It can fill us with hope. It can open us up to the possibility of good things to come. Honest encouragement builds our self-esteem. Think about the last time you needed a little encouragement. Whom did you call or talk to? Doubtless, someone who made you feel talented, capable and good about yourself. Let’s face it. Life can be really tough at times. There have been occasions when I’ve found myself right there on the edge ready to give up on a relationship, a friendship or job. I’ve been to that point where I felt I couldn’t take it anymore and I’m sure you’ve been there too. Often, the thing that kept me going – prevented me from giving up – was a simple word of encouragement. Now understand, offering encouragement doesn’t mean sympathizing with someone or saying something nice to them. To encourage is to inspire with confidence, to offer hope and courage. This help can take the form of a kind word, a hug, a letter, a note, a text, a phone call or an email – an offer to teach someone the proper way to throw a ball. Long ago, when I first shared my idea for a selfesteem column, I was met with opposition. That surprised me. Friends talked about it being an overwhelming responsibility. Some told me the idea couldn’t be sustained. Someone actually told me I’d soon lose interest and quit. I had the good fortune of meeting with an editor who was intrigued by the idea and who encouraged me to put together a pro-
posal. I did and Extreme Esteem was born. That meeting was a decade ago and I have never lost interest nor become discouraged or quit. All it took was someone to express an interest and MURRAY encourage FUHRER me to put my worthy idea into action. W h e n delivered with sincerity, encouragement provides a genuine boost of hope and a glimpse of what is possible for us. It doesn’t need to be a micro-motivational speech, though I’ve received and delivered a few of those over the years. Honest encouragement reminds us that we can accomplish something great despite what the naysayers might believe. When well considered, our words can have tremendous impact on the people around us. The best encouragers model courageous behaviour. They live their values every day. Encouragers tell us it’s possible to achieve our goals and when we watch them, we know it’s true. Encouragers know that telling people to suck it up or get over it does little good. In fact, such blunt statements often discourage courageous action and damage another’s self-esteem. Not that we don’t all need a dose of honesty sometimes, but our words must be chosen carefully. Encouragers know how to listen. Encouragers are willing to set aside time and forego agendas and judgments. True encouragers hear what you’re saying. They listen heart to heart. And perhaps, most importantly, true encouragers (like Lloyd) are honest. They’re not going to blindly tell you that you can do it or you’ll be great.
EXTREME ESTEEM
From the time the kids were wee babes, Jamie and I have drove older vehicles. Some may refer to them as beaters, beasts or even pieces of crap (whilst booting the wheel well over and over again because the damn thing broke down for the fifth time that month). But who’s keeping track, right? I don’t mean to sound ungrateful and I’m not. For the most part, these beaters have continued to get us to our intended location. … Well except for that time we were driving down the highway and the power steering went due to the serpentine belt busting. Or that other time that I never did make it to work because the car mysteriously forgot how to start its engine. And then there were all of the minor problems we just simply learned to live with. Like only having one headlight. No, the answer was not a simple headlight swap, of course it couldn’t be that easy! It was an error in the control module — this is what I was told, at least — and the problem would cost us well over what the van in question was worth. Ever since, we have opted to limit our driving to the daylight hours. We have learned to live without passenger side mirrors, windows that roll down and a working radio. The latter is probably the worst since I have nothing with which to drown out the children’s incessant whining. And in turn we have learned to live with funky smells wafting in through the heat vents. And odd and eerie noises when turning the wheel too sharp or slamming on the brakes. We have also come to terms with the unnerving reality that at any moment that two-ton piece of metal and iron we are hurtling

But men tend to communicate factually with less emotion and description. So for us, “fine” means perfectly fine. – Be direct in asking for what you want: Women can usually pick up subtle messages, but hints don’t work well for us.

centre of attention with all those strangers — even if it was only for a few seconds. And the aftermath of purchasing my Equinox has been pretty glorious too! Yes this is our first time buying a vehicle and yes we are currently thousands of dollars in debt with car payments. ... But you know what? Totally worth it. As I am driving down the road listening to my tunes that are cranked to the max, rolling up and down the windows as I please and smelling nothing but new car smell, I think about how fortunate our family is. We are fortunate for our health and happiness foremost, but also for how much we as a family unit have evolved in our six years together. We have worked hard to receive the good things in life. The things we can enjoy together. And that I guess is what life is all about. So next time you see a family cruising around in a Chevy Equinox looking insanely overjoyed to be driving safely down the road, give them a wave. It may just be my family and we may just be busting out to some journey … just because we can. Lindsay Brown is a Sylvan Lake mother of two and freelance columnist.
they cannot see it themselves. One of the most rewarding things you can do is encourage people you don‘t know. Have a nervous or slow cashier? Maybe a server that’s trying hard to please but struggling? Tell him or her that you’re not in a hurry and that you appreciate the effort. Years ago, I encountered a cashier at a large department store who was so nervous she was nearly in tears. She apologized profusely saying, “This is my first day.” This poor woman was so downtrodden that I just wanted to tell her that I understood. That everything would be OK. And I did just that. As for my cousin, Lloyd, he spent a great deal of time demonstrating proper throwing techniques. Over the next week, he corrected and encouraged me and I slowly began to improve. With practise, I was able to move farther and farther back from the target and still hit it consistently. When I finally did play slow-pitch with the colleagues, I enjoyed the experience. I felt confident. And Lloyd was there shouting words of encouragement from the bleachers. “A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life,” wrote American author and speaker, John C. Maxwell. “A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.” To whom should you offer encouragement? The simplest answer is everyone. Murray Fuhrer is a self-esteem expert and facilitator. His new book is entitled Extreme Esteem: The Four Factors.

STORIES FROM C4
BROWN: Looking for a new to me car So we began our hunt where else? Yes, you guessed it, Kijiji. Unfortunately, James and I are not big car people and looking at vehicles did not prove easy over a computer screen. I don’t remember the last time we had argued so vehemently with each other. It only made matters worse that we were bickering about what the nicer colour between orange and blue is for a car. Or how tall the actual SUV must be in real life. In all honesty, the kids probably were thinking that their folks had finally gone off the deep end into wacky-land. So we decided for the sake of our marriage to go into the dealership and look around in person. And boy howdy, I’m glad we did! For two people who were bound and determined to buy privately, we had the best experience at the dealership. Our first stop was right here in Red Deer at Gary Moe Hyundai, our salesman Kevin was spectacular! I was already sold by his wonderful people skills before even putting any serious consideration into our options. We looked a few other places in the city but our minds kept wandering back to Kevin and the Hyundai dealership. We had our eye on a Chevy Equinox and it didn’t take long for us to realize that this was most definitely the vehicle for us. Once we decided to take the plunge and buy the beaut, I got to ring the bell that was located in the middle of the store. Everybody looked and clapped and smiled and I was in my absolute glory being the

Birth control pill bad for lakes: study in Wascana Creek in Saskatchewan, the Grand River in southwest Ontario and the South Saskatchewan River in southern Alberta. “It’s a problem that we can certainly resolve with better waste water treatment,” she said. The good news is that after removing the estrogen, the fathead minnow population recovered back to what it was before the research began, said Kidd. “It’s evidence that removing these chemicals from our effluents will have downstream benefits for the fish population,” she said. The research facility where the study was conducted, the Experimental Lakes Area, has been the subject of some controversy over the past few years after the federal government announced it was considering closing it to save $2 million annually. The Ontario and federal governments later came to an agreement to keep the facility open. Kidd said this is the kind of work that validates the facility. She said the larger effects on the ecosystem likely wouldn’t have been detected if the study was conducted in an uncontrolled environment because of the challenges associated with it. “We wouldn’t have even looked for those other downstream impacts,” said Kidd. “(The Experimental Lakes Area) is such a powerful way to look at how the food web responds to a stressor.”
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
HALIFAX — The lead researcher of a new study is calling for improvements to some of Canada’s waste water treatment facilities after finding that introducing the birth control pill in waterways created a chain reaction in a lake ecosystem that nearly wiped out a freshwater fish. The study, which is being published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B on Monday, found that introducing small amounts of estrogen into a lake led to the near extinction of the fathead minnow because it interfered with the fish’s ability to reproduce. Lead researcher Karen Kidd of the University of New Brunswick said the study has been ongoing File photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS since the late 1990s, when researchers in the United A field crew takes samples in Lake 260 in a 2012 Kingdom discovered that male fish began to develop handout photo. eggs when estrogen was introduced in their habitat.

Savoury fall delights BAKING BREAD IS A SUBLIME EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU ADD PUMPKIN TO THE MIX I wasn’t going to write another pumpkin article this year, but the pumpkins stacked high at the grocery stores and the farmer’s markets just lured me in. It is just impossible not to do something with the iconic fall vegetable. It would be like having thanksgiving without the turkey. Something pumpkin needs to be done! You may be wondering what could possibly be done more with the pumpkin besides whipping them up into pies, cookies, muffins, lattes or incorpoMADHU rating them BADONI into autumn soups and stews? Well, how about using pumpkin to make breads? Baked pumpkin loafs? What’s new about that you ask? Well, I am not referring to the sweet baked breads, muffins or scones that are popping up at the coffee shops or the bakery aisle. It’s the savoury pumpkin breads that could be spicy and warm to enjoy on cold mornings with butter or a bowl of steamy hot soup or stew. I am not going to sway you towards the savoury because I know if there was a contest, the sweet pumpkin breads would win. But savoury is still a nice change and a good alternative from sweet when pumpkin is so bountiful. For me, home-made bread is one of life’s greatest comforting pleasures during the fall season and combine that with the moist, warm orange glow of pumpkin, the whole baking experience is sublime. Pumpkin is a nice ingredient in breads because it boost the nutritional value by adding fibre and lots of beneficial vitamins and minerals. It also adds moisture and substantial texture to

breads while imparting distinctive undertones of flavours. The subtle sweetness of the pumpkin also compliments well with many fresh herbs, autumn spices and nuts. Because of the rising time, some of the yeast based pumpkin breads do take longer than the popular quick sweet breads. But if time is plentiful , then these breads go beautifully as a side to meals where meat is the main event or with casseroles that requires something to dip into the creamy base. Serving pumpkin bread with pumpkin soup is not an overkill either because it is a great way to show off your enthusiasm for the season. Topped with cranberry jelly and lettuce or sprouts, this bread makes a marvelous turkey sandwiches, while the golden colour makes for festive dinner rolls. There are also many quick savoury pumpkin breads that can be easily prepared to suit the weekday rush. Savoury biscuits and muffins complement Crockpot chillies and stews. If you want to have breads that last longer , another fun form of savoury pumpkin bread is to prepare them as a cracker. Yes, cracker is a crispy bread, which are ideal for dunking into soups and scooping up dips. Adding pumpkin to a cracker recipe, creates a cracker that is more than just a bland slate for some sort of topping but the crispy bread becomes a showpiece. Inspired by the Mexican tortilla, I also mix some pumpkin puree into the East Indian chapatti or roti. The taste of the pumpkin is very subtle and you can definitely tell there’s something different when you taste them. They are the perfect complement to lentil curries. Whether to use fresh or canned pumpkin for your bread recipes all depends on how much time is available. Canned pumpkin is convenient to use and is more flavour packed than fresh.

Gradually add remaining flour, a little at a time, until you have a dough stiff enough to knead. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead, adding flour as necessary, until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Put dough into an oiled bowl. Turn once to coat entire ball of dough with oil. Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Turn dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface. Divide dough in half. Shape dough into loaves and place in well-greased 10 x 5-inch pans or, shape half into a loaf, and other half into 12 large dinner rolls.

Plenty to feast on in Oral Fixations BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Anyone who’s ever fought to get a spoonful of mashed vegetables into a toddler’s mouth knows food can set the battleground for an obstinate clash of wills. It’s funny how the most personal of human behaviors — eating — can rapidly escalate, beyond all sense or reason, into something scary and political. Many potential food-related conflicts — from a mother bringing a homemade lasagna to her newlywed son’s house to a teenage girl drastically cutting calories to gain control of her life — were spotLANA lighted in the locally-written play Oral Fixations, by Red MICHELIN Deer playwrights Blaine Newton and Leslie Greentree, The engaging Ignition Theatre production that’s running this week at the Scott Block theatre explored, through humourous, touching and chilling scenes how life is rife with power plays — and how they often start unassumingly at the dinner table. The action at Friday’s performance began with light-hearted banter from various characters — including a food label-reader who was appalled by the unnatural shape of fish sticks. “Fish isn’t square. Bathroom tiles are square,” said the woman, played by Lisa Spencer-Cook. Characters of various ages went on to recall their guilty food pleasures (pop tarts) and nightmares (liver, “the zombie of foods”), before examining TV cooking shows as food porn, ethnic food-aversions as racism, and the things our loved ones eat that make us crazy. The latter was one of the funniest scenes. It involved an animated Ryan Mattila miming a guy who couldn’t get enough sugar to start his day, as his girlfriend watched him inhale his syrupy breakfast with pure disgust. The strength of the play, directed by Matt Grue, is its sparkling, witty dialogue. There was plenty of it to savour — as well as strong performances from a cast of five (that also included Paul Boultbee, Killdeen Delorme and Erin Odell), and an interesting abstract set by Patrick Beagan. The problem — at least to us non-foodies in the audience — was the play’s two-hour length (it could be tightened up by half an hour by getting rid of some descriptives). Many characters made fairly
REVIEW
BRIEF New ‘Dragons’ Michael Wekerle and Vikram Vij enter the den in hit series TORONTO — Brace yourselves, Canadian entrepreneurs: two new dragons are entering the den. Bay Street financier Michael Wekerle, billed as “Mick Jagger meets Warren Buffet,” and Vancouver restaurateur Vikram Vij are the newest additions to CBC’s Dragons’ Den. Returning for a ninth season Wednesday, the newbies join Jim Treliving, Arlene Dickinson and David Chilton to judge Canadians’ business ideas and dole out cash to those deemed worthy. Wekerle has a reputation for being a rock star in bankers’ clothing, known equally for his wild lifestyle as his business acumen. But he said in a summer interview that he brings a sense of “humanity” to the show. “I believe in certain core values and I’m glad
obvious observations about food’s flavour, smell, texture and appearance without scratching the surface to reveal deeper truths about what these preferences mean or say about us as individuals, or as a society. (Only in the over-fed, under-nourished West could anyone envision a play like Oral Fixations in the first place.) Viewers did get emotionally drawn into the production’s absorbing second act, which brought poignant scenes of loneliness and need for comfort food, nourishment as nostalgia, and the painful and powerful memories certain foods can evoke. We felt for characters who often substituted food for love, or connected certain foods to happier times in their lives when they felt loved. But it might have bumped up the drama and insight to have mentioned food banks and the people who feel shame and deprivation at having to use
them. Nourishment is a basic human requirement, yet there are kids in our cities who get their only sustenance from their school’s free breakfast program. What kind of wary relationship does this create with food as they grow up? On the lighter side, there are also the people jumping on the latest trends, be it raw foods, macrobiotic, gluten-free, lactose-free, nut-free, or animalfree products. While this play would have gained from having its scope expanded, there was still plenty to feast on in Oral Fixations — and audience members are sure to leave the theatre with some food for thought. The play continues to Oct. 18. Tickets are available from www.ignitiontheatre.ca. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com
to say that all the ‘Dragons’ ... I find, are very, very strong and ethical people,” he said. “Respect, loyalty, generosity, honesty, reciprocity and the best word, empathy, those are the words that I live my life by.” He said he proved his talents on the Toronto Stock Exchange trading room floor at age 18. He went on to make fortunes investing in media and tech companies, including BlackBerry maker Research In Motion. Dubbed “The Oracle of Bay Street” by Toronto Life magazine, Wekerle now oversees a vast investment portfolio and most recently founded the merchant banking firm Difference Capital. Chilton said that Wekerle brought a sense of “unpredictability” to the show — in a positive way. He said he looked at deals from a perspective that the other Dragons hadn’t seen before. “We all have a lot of experience in deals, but obviously he has the most. You’ve probably got the most in the country, in some ways. So I thought there was imagination there and creativity in some of the deal structures that was neat to see. I bet some people at home are going to say, ’Wow, never seen that in the previous eight years,”’ he said. “Plus he showed up every day,” Chilton joked. “That was a little bit worrisome to all of us.” Vij, meanwhile, is well-known in Vancouver for his popular Indian fusion restaurants and cookbooks.

MAINS Robert 1933 - 2014 Mr. Robert ‘Bob’ John Mains of Red Deer, Alberta passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Hospice, after a lengthy battle with cancer, on Tuesday, October 7, 2014 at the age of 81 years. Bob was born on September 13, 1933 at Brockville, Ontario. He joined the Canadian Armed Forces at the age of eighteen to pursue his passion for aviation. He found his way to Sea Island, Vancouver where he met and married the love of his life, his miracle, Margaret Rose Mundy. They moved to France in 1962 and returned to Canada in 1967 without their sports cars but with two kids in tow. The couple settled in Edmonton and welcomed another son before relocating the family to Red Deer in 1971, when Bob retired from the Forces. Bob spent the majority of his civilian career working on water bombers as Director of Maintenance for Airspray 1967 Ltd. at the Red Deer Regional Airport. He was active in Red Deer Minor Hockey as a hockey dad, referee, coach, tournament organizer and as Zone 4 Chairman for Alberta Minor Hockey. He also enjoyed building and trying to fly model aircraft. He enjoyed many hours and shed a few tears with his friends at the “little airport”. Bob will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Margaret, and his children, Randy (Dawn, Kyle, Haylee), Sandra (Shawn) and Steven (Agatha). He will also be dearly remembered by his family, nieces, nephews, friends, colleagues and “adopted” children who called him Coach and made his house a home. Bob was predeceased by his daughter, Suzanne Rose, his father, Thomas, mother, Caroline, sister, Marlene and brother, Tom, his father-in-law, Albert and mother-in-law, Isabella. A Celebration of Bob’s Life will be held at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta on Saturday, October 18, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. If desired, Memorial Donations in Bob’s honor may be made directly to the Red Deer Hospice Society at www.reddeerhospice.com. The Family would like to thank the Palliative Care team at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre and the Red Deer Hospice for their kindness, compassion and care over these past few weeks. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com Arrangements in care of Rhian Solecki, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.

A Tribute to Lester Knipe 1927 - 2009 Written by his eldest grand daughter Caitlin Knipe Dear Grandpa: We cried when you passed away. We still cry today. We couldn’t make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands at rest. A Grandfather who touched our hearts with love, laid to rest. It has been a long five years without you Grandpa. Now all we have is memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake with which we will never part. God may have you in his keeping, but we have you in our hearts. Grandpa you made our childhood unforgettable. We love you always. God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best. Good bye for now Grandpa, we shall meet again someday. Until then we shall keep your memories of you close to our hearts. Forever missed by his grandchildren; Adam, Christopher, Brittany, Caitlin, Jacob, Brett, Sarah and Gabe. Also his two daughters, Barbara and Diane and wife Eleanor. Rest in Peace

Oscar Pistorius, left, is greeted by an unidentified female, in the courtroom, in Pretoria, South Africa, Monday. Pistorius faces sentencing this week in a South African court after being convicted of culpable homicide for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Psychologist calls Pistorius a ‘broken man’ BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PRETORIA, South Africa — Oscar Pistorius is a “broken man” after killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp and has already suffered emotionally and financially, a psychologist called by the Olympic runner’s lawyers testified Monday ahead of his sentencing. Dr. Lore Hartzenberg gave the testimony ahead of Pistorius’ sentencing for culpable homicide, and it was almost immediately characterized by the chief prosecutor as lacking balance. Prosecutor Gerrie Nel also expressed shock after a defence witness suggested Pistorius be sentenced to occasional house arrest and community service for shooting dead his girlfriend. After Hartzenberg described how Pistorius had suffered since the Valentine’s Day killing last year, Nel noted that the double-amputee athlete likely still has the chance to rebuild his life and possibly continue his career, whereas Reeva Steenkamp is dead and her family is devastated. “We are now dealing with a broken man, but he is still alive,” the prosecutor said. He asked the psychologist what she knew about Steenkamp. “Do you know anything about her dreams, what she wanted to do in life?” Nel said. Later a social worker from South Africa’s correctional services department, who was also called to testify by defence lawyers, suggested Pistorius should serve a threeyear correctional supervision sentence for negligently shooting Steenkamp. That would include periods of house arrest but no prison time, and allow Pistorius to train and attend athletics meets again. Nel said that suggested sentence was “shockingly inappropriate” and described it as “no sentence.” Judge Thokozile Masipa was hearing evidence on the first day of Pistorius’ sentencing hearing, which is expected to last several days. After listening to testimony from witnesses called by both the defence and prosecution, Masipa will decide on Pistorius’ sentence. It can range from a suspended jail sentence and a fine to as many as 15 years in prison. Masipa last month found Pistorius, 27, guilty of culpable homicide but not guilty of both premeditated murder and murder in his killing of Steenkamp at his home.
Kim Jong Un still nowhere to be seen BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEOUL, South Korea — Where is Kim Jong Un? He’s nowhere to be seen, and yet ... he’s everywhere. From “Saturday Night Live” spoofs to the wild theories of journalists across the globe trying to parse his fiveweek absence from the public eye, the 30-ish leader of North Korea has captured nearly as many headlines as he did when he threatened to nuke his enemies last year. This bewildering ability to command attention by doing nothing says a lot about the North’s mastery of a propaganda apparatus that puts Kim at the centre of everything. Remove for 40 days the sun around which that propaganda spins and the international media, both traditional and social, explode with speculation and rumours. It also speaks to the fundamental difficulties everyone outside North Korea — academics, government officials, reporters — faces in understanding what’s really happening inside a small, poor, autocratic country that jealously guards its internal workings as it ignores demands by the U.S. and its powerful allies to give up its nuclear bombs. It is no mistake that the world obsesses about Kim’s extended time off from his usual, seemingly constant series of inspection tours of factories and frontline military bases. Ever since 1948, when Kim’s grandfather, Kim Il Sung, founded the country as a socialist rival to the U.S.-backed South, the Kim family has successfully sold the notion, at home and abroad, that they are North Korea. In the five weeks since Kim was last seen in the state media at a Sept. 3 concert, he has missed several highprofile events that he normally attends. An official documentary released late last month then made a single reference to Kim’s “discomfort” and showed video footage from August of him overweight and limping. Many analysts believe that while Kim may have some health issues, he’s probably not in serious trouble. “Is Kim Jong Un brain dead?” a South Korean lawmaker asked Adm. Choi Yoon-hee, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on Monday. Choi said no, and, without elaborating, said Kim’s health problems “are not severe enough to disrupt his status as the ruler of the country.”

Racial justice driving pot legalization in U.S. BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Adam Eidinger, chairman of the DC Cannabis Campaign, puts up posters encouraging people to vote yes on DC Ballot Initiative 71 to legalize small amounts of marijuana for personal use, in Washington on Oct. 9, 2014. In other places, advocates have argued that pot is no more dangerous than alcohol and should be taxed and regulated by the government. The District, however, is much more heavily populated by black residents, and

WASHINGTON — A debate over legalizing marijuana in the U.S. capital is focusing on the comparatively large number of arrests of African-Americans on minor drug charges. The racial justice aspect of the campaign is one of many factors making the District of Columbia’s pot legalization push different from what’s happened in Colorado, Washington state and other places around the country. The District is not a state. Pot would still be illegal on federal land, so there would be no lighting up at the Jefferson Memorial or on the National Mall. And the federal government could thwart the will of District voters as it has on other matters in which liberal District tendencies clash with conservative priorities on Capitol Hill. Nonetheless, the District is on track to join Colorado and Washington state in legalizing marijuana. Pot legalization supporters in those states also spoke about racial justice, but their voters are mostly white and their campaigns focused more on other issues A poll last month showed nearly two of every three voters in the District favour the initiative, which will be on November’s ballot. Voters in Alaska and Oregon also decide this fall whether to legalize pot.
talks about marijuana. “I think D.C. is going to probably set off a chain of events in which communities of colour generally and cities in particular take on the issue of legalization as a racial justice, social justice issue in a much stronger way than they have so far,” said Bill Piper, director of national affairs at the Drug Policy Alliance. Roughly half of the District’s 646,000 residents are black. The American Civil Liberties Union found that in 2010, blacks were eight times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession in the District, and 91 per cent of those arrested that year were black. “It would alleviate a lot of problems,” said Kenneth Agee, 46, a heating and air conditioning mechanic who plans to vote for legalization. “There may be less violence on the streets associated with marijuana trafficking and sales.” The D.C. Council tried earlier this year to address racial disparities by decriminalizing marijuana, as 17 states have done. Possession of up to one ounce of pot in the District is now subject to a $25 fine, among the lowest in the nation. The law took effect in July, despite an attempt by Rep. Andy Harris, a Maryland Republican, to block the measure.

Turkey, U.S. at impasse NO NEW DEAL WITH U.S. ON USING AIR BASE AGAINST ISLAMIC MILITANTS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANKARA, Turkey — NATO allies Turkey and the United States differed Monday on where they stand on the use of a key air base, with Turkish officials denying reports from the United States that there was a new agreement on its use for operations against Islamic State militants. The impasse suggests that major differences remain between the two sides. Turkey has said it won’t join the fight against the extremists unless the U.S.-led coalition also goes after the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad, including establishing a no-fly zone and a buffer zone along the Turkish border. The United States has been pressing Turkey to play a larger role against the Islamic militants, who have taken control of large swaths of Syria and Iraq, including territory on Turkey’s border, and sent refugees fleeing into Turkey. U.S. officials said again Monday that Turkey would let U.S. and coalition forces use its bases, including Incirlik air base, which is within 100 miles of the Syrian border, for operations against the Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq. However, emerging Monday from a Cabinet meeting, Turkey’s deputy prime minister, Bulent Arinc, said that

Thick smoke rises following an airstrike by the U.S.-led coalition in Kobani, Syria as fighting continued between Syrian Kurds and the militants of Islamic State group, as seen from Mursitpinar on the outskirts of Suruc, at the Turkey-Syria border, Monday. “apart from the existing co-operation in combatting terrorism, there is no new situation concerning Incirlik air base.” The deputy premier added that Turkey had proposed the use of some of its bases to train and equip moderate opposition forces fighting the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, but said the sides had not yet come to any agreement. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Da-
vutoglu, in comments published Sunday, said Incirlik was already being used for reconnaissance purposes in Iraq and said its use for wider operations would depend on whether Turkey’s demands for a no-fly zone and a safe zone in Syria are met. “There are activities that we are already undertaking jointly from Incirlik, concerning Iraq,” Davutoglu told the Milliyet newspaper. “But as a base for a more extensive operation ... we
have already made our position clear: There has to be a no-fly zone and a safe haven must be declared.” Arinc said the two countries would hold “deeper” talks in the coming days on Turkey’s co-operation in the U.S.led coalition, including its demands for a no-fly zone and a safe haven in Syria. On the ground Monday, the battle continued to rage on Turkey’s border as Islamic State fighters carried out at least three suicide bombings in the Syrian border town of Kobani, allowing the group to make a small push into the strategic town, activists said. Islamic State extremists have carved out a vast stretch of territory from northern Syria to the outskirts of Baghdad where they have imposed their harsh interpretation of Islamic law. The fighters have massacred hundreds of captured Iraqi and Syrian soldiers, terrorized religious minorities, and beheaded two American journalists and two British aid workers. Hundreds of thousands of refugees have fled into Turkey from Syria ahead of the militants. The U.S.-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes against militant targets in and around Kobani for more than two weeks, and the town’s fate has emerged as a major test of whether the air campaign can roll back the extremists in Syria. The sound of explosions and occasional gunfire could be heard across the border in Kobani a day after Kurdish fighters managed to slow the advance of the jihadist group. What appeared to be a rocket-propelled grenade struck a minaret in the centre of the town, emitting a cloud of white smoke.
Islamic State group seizes Iraqi army camp in Anbar province BAGHDAD — Militants with the Islamic State group on Monday captured a military training camp in western Iraq, inching closer to full control of the restive Anbar province, as a spate of deadly bombings shook Baghdad, hitting mostly Shiite neighbourhoods and leaving at least 30 dead. The attacks, which came as Iraqi Shiites marked a major holiday for their sect with families crowding the streets in celebration, raised new concerns that the Sunni militant group is making gains despite U.S.-led coalition airstrikes. British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, on a visit to Iraq, warned that the airstrikes will not be enough to defeat the extremist group and stressed that the Iraqi security forces would have to do the “heavy work on the ground.” But Iraqi troops, overstretched and overwhelmed by the Islamic State
group’s summer blitz that seized large swaths of territory in western and northern Iraq, continued to come under pressure Monday in the western Anbar province, where militants seized an Iraqi military training camp. The camp, near the town of Hit that fell to the insurgents earlier this month, was overrun in the morning hours after clashes with Iraqi soldiers who were forced to abandon the camp and withdraw from the area, two Anbar officials told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. Town residents confirmed the camp’s fall, speaking to the AP also on condition of anonymity, fearing for their own safety. The Islamic State group touted its conquest of the camp in a statement Monday. The statement could not immediately be verified but it was posted on militant websites. In Baghdad, which has largely been spared the violence seen in other parts of Iraq amid the Islamic State group’s
onslaught, bombings killed at least 30 people and wounded scores more. The attacks, hitting three Shiitemajority neighbourhoods, came as many Iraqi Shiites families took to the

Second Ebola patient in Texas is 26-year-old nurse DALLAS — Media reports and a church rector have identified the second Ebola patient in Texas as a 26-year-old nurse infected while caring for a man from Liberia. WFAA-TV in Dallas reported that Nina Pham’s family reached out to identify her as the nurse infected with Ebola. A rector at her family’s church told The Associated Press that Pham’s mother told him Pham has Ebola. Officials say Pham wore protective gear as she cared for Thomas Eric Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital after he was diagnosed with Ebola and put in isolation. He died last week. The graduate of Texas Christian University’s nursing school was monitoring her own temperature and went to the hospital Friday night as soon as she found out she was running a low fever. She’s now in isolation and in stable condition. It’s the first known case of Ebola being transmitted within the U.S.
Ukrainian emergency services gather effects of Malaysia Flight 17 victims THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The Dutch government says Ukrainian searchers have recovered belongings including passports, luggage, jewelry and children’s toys from the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. The Security and Justice Ministry said in a statement that 40 members of the Ukrainian disaster response agency participated in a new round of searching at the wreckage site in Eastern Ukraine Monday. Four Dutch officials and an OSCE team were also present. Eight forensic experts will fly to Ukraine to examine the belongings before they are returned to the Netherlands. All 298 people on board were killed when the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur broke up on July 17. An initial report said it was hit from outside by multiple high energy objects, which some aviation experts say is consistent with a missile strike.

FERGUSON, Mo. — More than 30 people were arrested Monday during a large rally in the Missouri city where protesters have been unremitting since unarmed 18-year-old black man was fatally shot by a police officer. Clergy members led several hundred people on a march, using a bullhorn to read the names of people killed by police across the U.S, marking the third straight day of recent protests in the St. Louis suburb where Michael Brown was fatally shot Aug. 9 by a white police officer. Tensions escalated last week when a white police officer in St. Louis shot and killed 18-year-old Vonderrit Myers Jr., who police say shot at police before he was killed. St. Louis County Police spokesman Shawn McGuire says about 25 people were arrested on charges of peace disturbance, while six others were later arrested for failing to disperse. Pounding rain and tornado watches didn’t deter the protesters who stayed outside the police headquarters for more than four hours, the same amount of time that Brown’s body was left in the street after he was shot. The protesters were met by about 40 officers in riot gear. “My faith compels me to be here,� said Bishop Wayne Smith of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri. “I want to show solidarity, and call attention to the structural racism of St. Louis.� The planned demonstrations began Friday afternoon with a march outside the St. Louis County prosecutor’s office, where protesters renewed calls for prosecutor Bob McCulloch to charge Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Brown. A grand jury is reviewing the case and the U.S. Justice Department is conducting a civil rights investigation. Since Brown’s death, three other fatal police shootings of black males have occurred in the St. Louis area. Myers died Wednesday after a confrontation with a white St. Louis officer, whose name has not been released. Police said the officer fired 17 rounds after Myers opened fire. Myers’ parents say he was unarmed, and many speakers at a weekend rally echoed those doubts and raised concerns about racial profiling.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister on Monday lashed out at regional rival Iran, accusing the Shiite powerhouse of having forces inside Syria, Iraq and Yemen, and insisting that Iran is “part of the problem� in trying to defuse the myriad Mideast crises. Saud al-Faisal said that Tehran should pull its troops — which he called “occupying forces� — from the three Mideast nations stricken by conflicts and violence if it wants to be part of the solution. Al-Faisal did not elaborate on his allegations. Iran insists it has no forces on the ground in any of the three countries, but has sent advisers to help Syrian President Bashar Assad keep his hold on power and to the Shiite-led government in Baghdad to battle the Islamic State group. Iran is Syria’s strongest ally in the Middle East, and has provided Assad’s government with military and political backing for years.
Ethnic clashes between Arabs and Berbers kill 2 in Algeria
Do not pay until Spring!
ALGIERS, Algeria — Clashes between rival gangs of Arabs and Berbers left two dead near Algeria’s southern oasis city of Ghardaia on Monday, the state news agency reported. Regular clashes between the Arab and Berber ethnic communities in the picturesque desert city, a UNESCO world heritage site, have left a dozen dead and hundreds injured since late last year. The latest clashes took place on the main road running through the nearby village of Berriane separating the two communities. The young men threw stones at each other, set fire to tires and hurled firebombs, a day after several shops were burned. Dozens of police were also injured. Members of the local Berber community, known as Mozabites, speak their own language and follow different school of Islam than the majority of Algerians. The two groups compete over limited jobs, land and housing in the impoverished south and
MEXICO CITY — Two gunmen shoved their way into a radio studio and opened fire on a local activist, killing him while he was broadcasting, prosecutors in the Mexican state of Sinaloa said. It was the first on-air killing in recent memory in Mexico. Listeners heard the gunshot that killed Atilano Roman Tirado, who had a weekly radio program as well as leading a group of farm families displaced by a dam. “On air you could hear when the shot is fired, and then one of the co-workers is heard saying, ’Oh no, he killed him, he killed him,�’ station director Sergio Ontiveros said Monday. “That is when the transmission cut off ... The station operator dove to the floor and kicked out the master� cable, Ontiveros said. The Fiesta Mexicana station in the Pacific coast city of Mazatlan was off air for about a half hour, and was operated remotely over the weekend before resuming normal operations on Monday morning. Roman Tirado was a leader of about 800 families demanding compensation for being displaced by the Picachos dam. In past years, the movement had staged blockades and protest marches, which had resulted in some arrests. Ontiveros said Roman Tirado focused on the land dispute and other news in his program, “Asi es mi Tierra� — roughly “That’s how my land is.� “He was militant in his commentaries, he was

and I’m so glad I did. The little pink area was pre-cancerous, and as part of the exam, the doctor looked over my body and discovered the melanoma on my back. Please remind your readers of the ABCDE symptoms of skin cancer: Asymmetry, Borders, Color, Diameter, Evolving. I also suggest checking with one’s doctor early. – Always Be Concerned Dear Always: Thank you for the warning. Skin cancer is on the rise and can be deadly. It is easily aggravated by overexposure to sunlight or tanning beds. We hope our readers will pay close attention to changes in color, size or shape of moles anywhere on their bodies. And wear sunscreen. We’d like to keep you around. Dear Annie: Your response to “Need Your Opinion” was fine, but this woman, who says the “love of her life” is a drug addict who mooches off of his mother and yells at her when he drinks, needs therapy to help her understand why she is drawn to abusive men and how to break the cycle. The lesson she is teaching her daughter about adult relationships is harmful and potentially dangerous. And it wouldn’t hurt her to get tested for STDs. – Retired Therapist Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Man sends cheque, 50 years after theft BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAKELAND, Fla. — Some 54 years after stealing several newspaper racks, a U.S. Navy veteran has sent a letter of apology and a check for $200 to The Ledger of Lakeland, Florida. Bernard Schermerhorn says he’s followed the rules for most of his 73 years, but caved to peer pressure as a teenager and went along with a friend’s scheme to steal several racks from The Ledger. In a Sept. 30 letter to the newspaper, Schermerhorn says they took a handful of change and then dumped the racks. Schermerhorn, who lives in Le Mesa, California, told the newspaper the check would more than cover the damage and theft of about $10. Publisher Kevin Drake says he’s sending Schermerhorn a thank-you letter and will donate the money to a children’s charity in Lakeland.
