FRIGHT NIGHT AT THE SITE

LONG-TERM CARE

Region getting 28 more spaces BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Twenty-eight continuing care spaces for seniors will open up in Central Alberta in six months as part of the province’s plan to move 700 seniors out of overcrowded hospitals. Within Central Alberta, 12 spaces will be located in Drumheller, and four spaces each in Lacombe, Ponoka, Stettler and Wetaskiwin. No other details were available from AHS. Brenda Corney, Friends of Medicare Red Deer chapter chair, said it’s not continuing-care beds that are needed — it’s long-term care beds, which provide a higher level of care. “It’s not continuing-care patients who are in our hospital beds. The people in our hospital beds are people waiting for someone to die in a longterm care facility in order to get a bed,” Corney said on Wednesday. The Central Alberta spaces are among the 464 continuing care spaces or beds that will be created by redirecting existing resources. On Tuesday, the provincial government also promised to spend $60 million on new continuing care or longterm care beds for the rest of the 700 seniors to free up acute care and emergency beds in hospitals.

Exhibit tackles men’s suicide BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF The impact of men’s suicide upon family and friends has been translated into images as part of the University of British Columbia’s photo exhibition Man-Up Against Suicide that will be in Rimbey from today to Monday. By coincidence, 11 out of the 61 participants who contributed photos to convey how they felt were from Rim-

bey. Genevieve Creighton, part of the exhibition team, said photos were therapeutic for some participants as it allowed them externalize their emotions or memories of those who died. Other photos represented ways to prevent suicide. Creighton said one woman from Rimbey took a photo of a field with a couple of pickup trucks in the distance. “She said it represented why men’s

suicide is higher in rural areas. They go into the industry at a real young age and it kind of teaches them about being tough ... and that’s where they learn they can’t talk about things that are bothering them or talk about sadness, or if they are struggling around issues of sexual orientation. They have to be silent about that just because the industry is so masculine,” said Creighton about the photo.

“I live on my heels.” Robin Brand is talking about her daughter Brooke Aubuchon. Six-year-old Brooke has an extremely rare fatal disease that has no cure and no treatment. Batten disease has already claimed her older brother, Alexander. Officially known as Late Infantile JanskyMARY-ANN Bielschowsky BARR disease, those who have it will die, usually between the ages of eight and 12. There are fewer than 10 cases in

BARRSIDE

Canada. Worldwide, there are about 700 cases. It is an inherited nervous system disorder. As time passes, children affected become more and more mentally and physically disabled. Brooke and Alexander were both born healthy. In the beginning, they met all their growth milestones — like walking — when they were supposed to, says Robin, 30. “They both talked and said words, but they never did speak in sentences.” The family lives in Innisfail. Dad Darcy Aubuchon is the sole breadwinner and Robin is a full-time stayat-home mom. They have four other children, a four-year-old daughter and three boys, ages 11, 13 and 15. (The 11-year-old does not live full time with the family as he is Darcy’s son from a previous marriage.)

Sylvan Lake reviewing mayor’s position

TENT CITY

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF The question of whether Sylvan Lake is ready for a full-time mayor has been floated again. Town staff were asked by council on Tuesday to review the mayor’s position, including its role, responsibilities and job scope. Coun. Dale Plante, who has previously supported expanding the mayor’s role, put the issue on the table again. “I opened the can of worms again,” joked Plante on Wednesday. The prospect of turning the mayor into a full-time position was considered before the last municipal elections. An independent remuneration citizen committee tackled the issue as part of its review of council pay in April 2013. The committee recommended boosting the mayor’s pay by 20 per cent and a councillor’s pay by 29 per cent but did not support creating full-time mayor. In its report, the committee says it was “unanimous that this is not a topic for a town of our size at this time.” Plante believes the time has come to have someone leading council who can devote all of their energies to the job and promoting the town. “I really feel like we need someone who is proactively, not just managing what we have, but what is coming. “I see it is a visionary thing.” Even now, the workload justifies a full-time position. Going forward, the mayor’s responsibilities will only grow with the town, which is one of Alberta’s fastest growing communities. The staff report coming back to council will provide an overview of the job. As far as the pay, Plante said that should remain in the hands of the citizen committee. “We wouldn’t even touch the remuneration part of it. That wasn’t part of my proposal at all anyway.” Council’s motion to staff was a compromise. An earlier motion to direct staff to do the work necessary to support a full-time mayor position was defeated by council. Mayor Sean McIntyre, who as a councillor had spoken in favour of a full-time mayor, excused himself from the debate and did not vote on the motions. A report is expected for its Oct. 27 meeting. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

CARE: Staffing inadequate “Red Deer is really short of long-term care beds,” Corney said. But adequate staffing is important and hasn’t been happening according to last week’s auditor general’s report into long-term care, she said. “They can build whatever they want, they can announce whatever beds they want, but until the people in the beds now are receiving adequate care, with adequate staffing, then it’s not good enough.” Facilities need more “boots on the ground,” she said. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

BROOKE: Suffered a six-day seizure Delayed speech, seizures and vision problems are the beginning signs of Batten disease. When Alexander was diagnosed, he was almost five years old. He died at age eight, on Sept. 20, 2011. At that time, younger Brooke had not been diagnosed with Batten disease. But then she began having seizures and in the rarest of things, and surely among the most difficult, her parents learned in 2012 that Brooke also had the fatal illness. “It was really hard at first. A real shocker because we weren’t expecting it to happen again,” says Robin. “Brooke is so different than other Batten children ... (it’s) going real slow with Brooke ... her brother went real fast.” Robin follows a support group and says a number of children have passed away in the past month. “It’s really hard, especially when you follow the children’s stories for years.”

A man smokes a cigarette at a tent city at Oppenheimer Park in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, B.C., ahead of a 10 p.m. deadline to vacate on Wednesday. A B.C. Supreme Court judge granted a court order last week allowing the city to clear tents and campers from the park after 10 p.m. Wednesday. The encampment began in July when people set up tents to bring attention to affordable housing in the city. A man was found dead in a tent Wednesday.

The Office of the Medical Examiner has identified the body found in a residence on the Samson Cree Nation Reserve in Maskwacis on Sunday. Tyrell Preston Soosay, 18, of the Samson Cree Nation, was positively identified as the victim. Maskwacis RCMP received a report of a possible homicide at a Samson residence. Officers attended

before the Calgary RCMP major crimes unit was called and took charge of the investigation. Walter Samuel Louis of the Samson Cree Nation faces charges of second-degree murder and indignity to a human body. He is the cousin of the victim. Anyone with information about this or other investigations is asked to call Maskwacis RCMP detachment at 780-585-3767 or report information anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or at www.tipsubmit.com.

When Brooke was accepted for a gene therapy clinical trial in New York in 2013, the family hit a wall because, while the treatment cost was covered by U.S. clinic, the living costs of Brooke and her parents was not. They could not afford to go. Pleas to the provincial government for living costs funding were to no avail. Kerry Towle, MLA for Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, got involved trying to obtain funding for the family. In the end, community fundraising resulted in $30,000 being raised so they could go to New York, and stay at the Ronald McDonald House there. Brooke took the treatment very well, said her mother, but it’s uncertain if it was effective. “I think it has (made a difference). To a certain point. Like at this stage her brother was already blind, bedridden, couldn’t talk anymore. He was ... tube fed. ... He was just not there anymore. “Brooke, she’s still there. She still does eye contact with you. She still has words, a couple words ... she can still see and she’s going to school (kindergarten),” says Robin. “I don’t regret going to New York if it’s going to help my child or someone else’s child. “Can’t we just take the chances, because if we don’t take the chances, is there ever going to be a treatment?” The cost of the trip was $17,000, and the remaining money, which is almost gone, has been used for Brooke’s care, for things like the many trips — sometime planned, sometimes unexpected — to doctors in Calgary. This summer Brooke had a six-day seizure and was hospitalized in Calgary. They do receive some funding to help with the costs of a critically ill child but it doesn’t even cover the cost of gas to Calgary and back. “Anything back is great,” says Robin. On Wednesday, Brooke and her mom went to the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary so Brooke could be fitted with ankle stabilizing braces. The family has a hard time making ends meet. Recently, their van was damaged in a hit and run, and they were forced to get a new vehicle. They have used both the Innisfail food bank and the Christmas Bureau at times, says Robin.

Brooke is stable right now. Her seizures come and go “as they please” every week. “My 13-year-old son, he’s really great because he’s gone through it with his brother. ... I can leave Ethan with Brooke for 15 minutes while I run to the grocery store and grab a few things. I don’t have to worry — if there’s a seizure or anything he knows what he’s got to do.” Towle, who has spoken several times in the legislature about Brooke and others who run into costs associated with rare illnesses, is still angry that the health minister (Fred Horne at the time) refused to meet with Brooke’s parents and that they couldn’t get help provincial government with living expenses in New York. “This family is not well off, it has limited means. I was asking government to have some compassion, show some heart and find a way to cover the day-today expenses of the family so that they could attempt to find at least one option that may possibly give (Brooke) more time or a chance at a life. “For Brooke’s family, the cost that they were looking for was like 17,000 bucks. And it was the difference between life and death, right? Like $17,000? Come on. We can do better than that.” The process for such families to get any assistance is “convoluted and confusing,” Towle said on Wednesday. “We’ve (Wildrose) always said that things like this can be looked at on a case-by-case basis. We have a very rich province. With the assistance with their living expenses while they’re at the clinic, we felt strongly there could be a case made for that being supported.” It never happened. Robin says that there’s a possibility of an enzyme treatment coming to Canada that might help Brooke. Darcy is looking at information about stem cells right now. Robin admits she and her husband spend a lot of time looking on the Internet. “All we have is hope.” For more information, go to the Facebook page: Brooke’s Hope and Fight with Batten Disease. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Police officers testify again at drug trial BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF The two police officers who read an accused drug dealer his charter rights returned to testify for the second time during a three-week trial. Sgt. Geoffrey Greenwood and Const. Josh Matthies testified Wednesday in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench before Justice Charlene Anderson into the circumstances of the arrest of Ahmed Nur, 31, on July 12, 2011. Nur is on trial accused of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking following his arrest. He is out on $15,000 bail. Arising from testimony earlier in the trial, defence counsel Paul Moreau raised the issue of a breech of his client’s charter rights. Specifically Nur’s right to obtain and instruct counsel without delay. Greenwood was the officer who arrested Nur after a covert pursuit up the QEII from Red Deer to Edmonton. When the vehicle Nur was traveling in had stopped at the entrance to a storage locker facility several police officers, none in marked police vehicles, surrounded the vehicle and arrested Nur and the other occupants of the vehicle. While Greenwood had his knee on Nur’s shoulders he arrested the accused and informed him of why he was being arrested and read him his charter rights. Matthies was then responsible for the formal charter reading to Nur telling the accused his rights,

which was documented and recorded. The formal charter reading took place at about 4 p.m. on July 12, 2011. It wasn’t until 1:52 a.m. on July 13, 2011 that Nur placed a phone call to duty counsel. Matthies cited officer safety was the primary concern. They were worried Nur and the people he was arrested with could use the opportunity of a phone call to warn people prior to a police search of two residences in Red Deer and a storage locker in Edmonton. Police were in the process of obtaining a search warrant at the time. Both Matthies and Greenwood said delaying an accused’s right to a phone call before a search warrant is executed and the property searched is secure is common practice in drug investigations. Moreau called it a suspension of his client’s right to obtain counsel, saying the reason was speculative and falls short of a valid reason for a violation of a charter right. He alluded to the fact that police instead had an interest in the preservation of evidence. Moreau went so far as to call the practice a pattern of a systemic violation of rights. Crown Prosecutor Patricia Giroux disagreed saying Matthies provided very reasonable grounds to delay Nur’s phone call in his testimony during the

trial. She said this conduct was routine where an officer can articulate a concern for safety, which Matthies had done. Moreover, Grioux said police made no effort to illicit evidence from Nur without allowing a phone call, calling police conduct done in good faith. Moreau is seeking a stay of proceedings and failing that the exclusion of evidence seized by police should Anderson rule in his favour. This is the second voir dire in the trial, with the first one scrutinizing the grounds police had established to arrest Nur. Anderson will rule on both voir dires in the near future. The trial resumes Thursday with testimony from a proceeds of crime expert. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEFS Kidnapping trial slated for April A Red Deer man accused of kidnapping two teens will go to trial next April. Lyle Robert Vance, 21, was originally scheduled to stand trial on Oct. 14 on charges of kidnapping, uttering death threats and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. The trial was rescheduled to April 16, 2015. Red Deer RCMP laid the charges after Vance was investigated following complaints made by two teens who were forced into a vehicle and driven around before they were released or made their escape. Vance was arrested on Feb. 12 and has been in custody since that time.

City Centre Stage renamed Welikoklad Event Centre Welikoklad Event Centre is the new name of the hub for student learning and events in downtown Red Deer. Until Wednesday, the building at 4922 49th St. was known as the City Centre Stage. The name recognizes the recent $1 million donation to the college from locals Bill and Irma Welikoklad. Bill Weliloklad said they wanted to leave a legacy for the college after touring the facility and knowing the good it does for students. Since RDC purchased the building in 2012, it has invested more than $1 million in enhancements including the creation of an art gallery, upgrades to the theatre and cinema, mechanical, electrical and security and fire protection and other areas.

On matters of conscience For most Canadians, infrequent glimpses into the workings of their Parliament reveal what appear to be elected bobble heads and applauding armies cheerleading for their party leaders. For the most part, that is sadly accurate, but independence does erupt in the House of Commons, indecision is sometimes confessed and MPs can veer from party lines on principle, without TIM being branded HARPER mavericks or sparking a media feeding frenzy. Three such instances in recent weeks deserve attention. Two dealt with Canada’s contribution to an allied attempt to degrade the Islamic State in northern Iraq and another dealt with parliamentary accountability. One of the war votes involved some soul-searching from Brent Rathgeber, an Edmonton MP who chose his own independence, resigning from Harper’s caucus in 2013. One could argue his choice didn’t matter. It would not influence the final outcome because it had been deemed

INSIGHT

a vote of confidence by the government and the majority would carry the day. But on such a weighty measure, every vote is important and Rathgeber confessed he was torn. “I have never been more conflicted regarding any imminent vote in my six years as a Parliamentarian,’’ he wrote on his blog on the eve of the vote. “That ISIS is an evil group of misguided jihadists, who practise barbarism such as summary executions, war rape, enslavement and broadcasting beheadings of journalists and humanitarian workers, is beyond debate,’’ he wrote. But another long, distant war with imprecisely defined goals and dubious outcomes? “I have severe reservations,’’ Rathgeber wrote. Rathgeber worried about the eventual need for ground troops and the possibility of a protracted Afghanistanstyle campaign. He agreed the costly air campaign in Libya was no success. He argued that Canada and the world does not respond to all acts of barbarism, genocide and ethnic cleansing, pointing to Rwanda, Darfur and, more recently, Democratic Republic of the Congo. He even argued the Conservatives had set up a wedge because the wording of their motion implied that those who were against it do not unequivocally support Canadian soldiers. Finally, he argued a commitment to a theatre of war deserved some sup-

port from opposition benches. History will record he voted “Yes.” Liberal Irwin Cotler received much attention last week by abstaining on the war vote, the only member of his caucus who did not vote against the government motion. Cotler argued that, even though he had called for military intervention to aid displaced and brutalized civilians under the doctrine known as Responsibility to Protect, the government had not made a clear case for military intervention and Prime Minister Stephen Harper had signalled a willingness to carry out operations in Syria with the permission of Bashar Assad. That turned Responsibility to Protect “on its head,” Cotler argued. “Assad (is) not a coalition partner,’’ he said. History, however, will not officially record this abstention because Cotler was not in the House for the vote. On the accountability front, three Conservatives voted in support of a defeated NDP motion that would have given Speaker Andrew Scheer more power to force government members to give relevant answers during the daily question period. The trio included a longtime reformer and author of a private member’s bill on parliamentary reform, Michael Chong, retiring Conservative MP Brian Storseth and a veteran MP and chair of the Commons finance committee, James Rajotte of Edmonton. Rajotte merely informed his party

whip’s office, voted his conscience and life went on. “Any efforts to improve question period debate should be supported,’’ he told me. Rajotte argues there is more independent thought in his caucus than the media portrays. He has, in the past, abstained on another NDP motion, that one dealing with asbestos, and he argues an MP can vote differently from the party majority five per cent of the time and still be a loyal member of a government, or the NDP or the Liberals. “We should see that as a healthy thing, not something that is out of the ordinary.’’ Last spring, Rajotte wrote to Democratic Reform Minister Pierre Poilievre outlining five substantive changes his constituents wanted to the government’s controversial Fair Elections Act. The letter, when made public, was a major impetus for the amendments finally introduced by the minister. Rajotte routinely writes ministers with concerns of his constituents. Sometimes the ministers listen, sometimes they don’t. Three, largely quiet, examples of MPs voting with their conscience and wrestling with decisions. The world didn’t spin off its axis. It should happen more often. Tim Harper is a syndicated Toronto Star national affairs writer. He can be reached at tharper@thestar.ca.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Council problems remain a year after election Thanksgiving weekend and a year since we voted in a new mayor and council. Let us look at the changes. 2013: City gives go ahead for more police officers. 2014: City gives go ahead for even more new officers and support staff. Thanksgiving weekend and no new boots on the ground. 2013: City vacancy rate rises as businesses leave downtown and the city in general. 2014: Commercial vacancy rates rises again and more companies are leaving downtown and the city for the county. Some downtown landlords are even raising rents, causing businesses to move or close their doors. 2013: City opens Ross Street patio. 2014: City reopens Ross Street patio and spends even more money on more furniture and landscaping. But then we can’t spend to many tax dollars supporting the few businesses on one side of one street on one block of Ross Street. Especially when some of those companies and properties are owned by a member of city council. The patio now costs the tax payers $1,000 a day plus lost revenue from the covered parking meters. 2013: City didn’t fix but resurfaced streets downtown for Tour of Alberta. 2014: City again doesn’t fix but resurfaces more streets downtown for Tour of Alberta. After all, we can’t have out of town bike racers dodging potholes and navigating the rutted uneven streets the taxpayers of Red Deer drive on. Current mayor and council gave money to a community group whose director thinks crime prevention is graffiti cleanup. I still see a lot of graffiti around town and although the crime numbers change, the overall rate of crime still remains the same. I haven’t been to a council meeting for a while, but when I was attending meetings it seemed like the city manager controlled the agenda and the vote outcome. Council only gets the information he and his team want them to have and in a way they want them to have it. Why are we paying two groups of people to do the same job? I do think some on council are truly trying and haven’t joined the old boys club yet. I hope they can continue to stand up for the people of Red Deer and what’s good for the majority rather than the privileged few. Jerry Anderson Red Deer

Red Deer downtown traffic a mess Red Deer city council needs to revisit accessibility of its two main roads going in and out of downtown. For example, Gaetz Avenue northbound now has parking meters and hunks of sidewalk and landscaping intruding fully into the far left lane. This causes bottlenecks and traffic jams now when there is no snow. Traffic in the far right lane is already blocked near the parkade, due to traffic turning northbound on Ross. Thus essentially in a small area midtown, there are only two through traffic lanes. Surely this will be a nightmare for flat-blade plowing in winter — only dragging the time it will take to

Wind energy has significant upside Kenneth Green’s thinking (Prentice’s green power risk) on renewable energy costs is outdated. Environmentally and economically, there are too many upsides to renewables like wind energy for Alberta to ignore. A report this week from the independent financial advisory firm Lazard shows how wind energy costs are falling. Wind energy is now Alberta’s second cheapest way to generate new electricity. While natural gas is slightly more cost-effective today, wind energy doesn’t face the commodity and carbon price risks that will nudge natural gas costs higher in the future. Simply put, wind energy is already costcompetitive and provides Albertans with long-term stability in electricity prices and a hedge against price volatility. And wind energy will provide long-term, sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. While replacement of coal-fired electricity generation with natural gas will produce a short-term drop in emissions, Alberta’s growth will require burning more natural gas that leads to GHG emissions rising again within 15 years.

SUICIDE: Disclose your feelings The photo is one of about 25 that will be on display in Rimbey at Beatty Heritage House, at 5002 51st St. A description of the photo from the participant is superimposed over their photo. The opening reception for Man-Up Against Suicide will be held today from 5 to 8 p.m. with snacks and refreshments. A panel of speakers will discuss how to reduce the pressures that keep men silent when it comes to depression and suicide. Man-Up Against Suicide will run until Monday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dr. John Ogrodniczuk, professor and director of the psychotherapy program at UBC’s Department of Psychiatry, said the exhibition is all about encouraging people to talk about men’s suicide so men are more likely to open up about their problems and prevent suicides. He recalled how a report on survivors who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco showed the importance of that discussion. “Every single one said the moment they leapt, they regretted the act. They didn’t want to die. So that’s a big thing that people need to think about. When we start talking about it, when the media picks it up, it’s not like trying to push people over the edge — it’s like you’re trying to pull people back. In a way, it’s a bit of a lifeline,” said Ogrodniczuk, who grew up in Rimbey. According to statistics collected by Man-Up Against Suicide, the risk for suicide among men in rural areas increases by 40 per cent or more the further away they were from urban centres. For a community like Rimbey, the suicide mortality rate was 27.3 per 100,000 compared to 19.3 in urban areas. Suicide is the leading cause of death among men age 25 to 29 and 40 to 44. Suicide triggers include feelings of sadness associated with loss or grief,

For college-age men, triggers can be isolation from family and friends, financial strain, work and study pressures, poor career prospects, and stresses around body image and gender identity. Men with depression or suicidal thoughts should disclose their feelings to their general practitioner, psychologist, counsellor, and/or psychiatrist. Families and friends are encouraged to: ● Be active listeners for men disclosing their feelings.

● Provide simple social support through outings and physical activity at least until they are stabilized by accessing professional help. ● After building up rapport, suggest they access support services through their family doctor, counsellor, social worker, or other health care professional. ● If possible offer to accompany them to the initial mental health appointment and/or set up the appointment on their behalf.

● Report the severity of the depression, suicidal thoughts or self-harm behaviours to his doctor or therapist. ● Provide hope by reassuring him that he can overcome depression by following his health care team’s recommendations.

Top court considers ‘right to die’ BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The so-called “right to die” was back on Canada’s conscience Wednesday as the Supreme Court confronted the question of whether a ban on assisted suicide protects or violates the fundamental rights of Canadians. Those arguing for a change in the law say public opinion has shifted dramatically in the more than 20 years since Sue Rodriguez became a household name by taking her fight for a medically assisted death to the top court. In 1993, the nine-justice panel was split; Wednesday’s submissions made it clear that the issue remains as divisive as ever for medical practitioners, religious groups, and even advocates for the rights of the disabled. Two different groups representing Canadians with disabilities appeared before the court, arguing opposite sides of the case. The justices were sensitive to the resulting tension, as well as the notion that any one group — including the government — can claim to speak for what anyone wants or needs. During submissions from one of the government lawyers, both Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin and Justice Rosie Abella interrupted to take issue with the language being used to describe the people at the heart of the case. To say all disabled people “need protection, a leg up, different treatment — to treat them all the same — seems to be rather a stereotypical thing,” McLachlin said. The justices are considering whether the ban violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, in part because while able-bodied Canadians can take their own lives, someone physically incapable of doing so would need help — and the helper would face legal repercussions. Some disabled people adapt better than others and simply wouldn’t seek to end their own lives, given the right, acknowledged Joseph Arvay, the lead lawyer for the appellants and himself a paraplegic. “I say — and with the greatest respect I say — it is wrong, indeed it is arrogant of those disabled people to impose their views of what suffering is acceptable and tolerable for others,” he said. “Suffering is a very personal, subjective and contextual concept.” At one point, government lawyer Donnaree Nygard argued that even the most seriously disabled people have “options” for ending their lives. “There are options for ending life open to everyone, even the most severely disabled — and that is not to say that they are easy or comfortable options,” Nygard said. “The refusal of nutrition and hydration is neither easy or comfortable, but the so-called usual means of suicide are also not easy or comfortable.... What they want is not access to assistance for the usual means of suicide, what they want is — in their own words — a better choice.” Justice Rosalie Abella interjected: “They want

Supporters rally outside the Supreme Court of Canada on the first day of hearings into whether Canadians have the right to seek help to end their own lives Wednesday in Ottawa. access to the right that persons who are not disabled have to decide when to end their suffering,” she said. “They want access to a medicalized suicide,” Nygard replied. “Because they can’t do it the way somebody who is not disabled can,” Abella said. The panel also raised the issue of who ought to have the right to an assisted death. Justice Michael Moldaver wondered about diseases which may not have a cure now, but could in the future. Justice Rosalie Abella asked whether someone’s right ought to be limited by the illness itself. “Assisted dying should only be allowed in the most serious cases and not just because somebody wants to; it’s because their condition is not going to get any better,” Arvay said. Though the plaintiffs argue it would be up to Parliament to determine the extent of a law allowing assisted death, they provided some conditions: the person would have to be a competent adult, acting voluntarily, and with an incurable medical condition that causes profound suffering.

It’s up to the courts to compel them to act, Arvay said. In 1993, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that where assisted death is concerned, certain rights enshrined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms are trumped by the principles of fundamental justice. Since then, several private member’s bills on assisted suicide have come before Parliament but have failed to pass. Quebec adopted right-to-die legislation earlier this year. Despite that, little else has changed, the government argued. There is no new case law, no new legal perspectives, nor any new facts, said Robert Frater, the government’s lead lawyer. “Our position is straightforward: Rodriguez is still good law,” he told the court. “Given the concerns about abuse and the great difficulty in creating appropriate safeguards, the blanket prohibition on assisted suicide is not arbitrary or unfair,” the court’s decision at the time said.

Greed, neglect behind mall collapse: inquiry

CANADA

BRIEFS

Vancouver police say rash of overdoses linked to fentanyl VANCOUVER — Police in Vancouver say a potent and potentially lethal drug called fentanyl, not heroin, is behind a rash of overdoses on the city’s Downtown Eastside. Vancouver Coastal Health announced Tuesday that 31 people overdosed during the previous two days at Insite, the city’s safe-injection site. Samples of the drugs responsible for the overdoses were sent to Health Canada and police say they tested positive for fentanyl. Police are asking drug user to be extremely cautious and not consume drugs alone. They say drug users should use Insite, which is staffed by medical personnel who can help in the event of an overdose. Insite is the city’s first legal safe injection site and has been credited by Vancouver’s chief medical health officer Dr. Patricia Daly with saving lives and reducing the risk of infection from disease like HIV and hepatitis C.

Canada ready with quickresponse expert team should Ebola arrive, says Ambrose OTTAWA — Should Ebola arrive on Canadian soil, Health Minister Rona Ambrose says a team of public health experts and epidemiologists is standing by to provide support, expertise, rapid diagnoses and emergency supplies. Amid growing global anxiety about the spread of the virus, Ambrose met Wednesday with representatives of the national nurses’ union, which has

bad idea. A defective roof design — using an untested combination of materials — made matters much worse. “The system was a dismal failure from the moment it was installed,” the report states. Ironically, the mall seldom lacked for professional oversight from architects and engineers, with some 30 visits, inspections and reports over its 33-year life. However, the scrutiny never translated into a proper fix for the leaks that prompted some to dub the centre the “Algo Falls.” No one appeared to realize how severely the rust would compromise the integrity of the structural steel. Some of the engineers involved simply forgot the “moral and ethical foundation” of their vocation and, Belanger concludes, were more concerned with pandering to clients than with protecting the public. “Their inspections were so cursory and incomplete as to be essentially meaningless,” he says.

The commissioner was particularly critical of Robert (Bob) Wood, the engineer who signed off on the health of the mall just weeks before it collapsed. His work and conduct, Belanger says, were “markedly inferior.” Wood, who faces criminal charges in connection with the collapse, admitted to falsifying his report to appease the mall’s owner. “His review was similar to that of a mechanic inspecting a car with a cracked engine block who pronounces the vehicle sound because of its good paint job,” the report states. According to the commission, the mall’s various owners hid the problems, then tried to sell their way out of them when patchwork fixes didn’t work. Profit considerations trumped all other concerns, Belanger says. The “crafty” and intransigent Bob Nazarian, who owned the mall when disaster struck, lied about repair work, and resorted to “subterfuge and falsehood to mislead authorities, tenants and the public,” the report concludes.

complained of inadequate personal protective gear, training and preparedness for nurses, who would be on the front lines. She reassured the nurses that they have her full support and that the government is committed to ensuring they have everything they need to feel safe. And she said the Public Health Agency of Canada would respond to an Ebola case with epidemiologists and experts in infectious disease outbreak management, laboratory expertise to quickly confirm diagnosis, and any needed supplies, such as masks, gloves and face shields. “It is imperative that all front-line health care workers have guidance and information to deal with Ebola,” Ambrose said in a statement. “They are the first line of defence against infectious diseases and they must be fully included in all communications.”

Probe expands to french fry plant after sewing needles found in potatoes: RCMP SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. — Police in Prince Edward Island say the metal objects found in six potatoes in Atlantic Canada in the last week were sewing needles and they have expanded their investigation to include a french fry production facility in the province. RCMP Sgt. Leanne Butler said Wednesday that in addition to the tampered potatoes, sewing needles were detected in french fries on a production run at the Cavendish Farms plant in New Annan, P.E.I. Butler said all of the affected potatoes came from Linkletter Farms, a company based in Summerside, P.E.I., that sells potatoes to the public and supplies Cavendish Farms. “It appears the metal sewing needles were intentionally placed in the potatoes prior to the potatoes being sent to the production facility,” Butler said.

New Brunswick man says McDonald’s coffee came with dead mouse and feces NEW MARYLAND, N.B. — A New Brunswick man says he found a dead mouse at the bottom of his McDonald’s coffee and the fast-food chain says it is investigating his complaint. Ron Morais of New Maryland says he ordered a medium black coffee Monday from a McDonald’s in nearby Fredericton on his way to work. The 57-year-old says he didn’t notice anything unusual until he popped the lid off to enjoy the last few sips. Morais says he saw a small mouse wedged in the bottom of the cup with what appeared to be rodent feces. He says he has been speaking with McDonald’s and doesn’t want anything from the company besides an explanation. A spokeswoman with McDonald’s says the company is investigating, but that a pest control company inspected the site and found no evidence of pest issues in the building.

ELLIOT LAKE, Ont. — Decades of incompetence, neglect, greed and dishonesty by a succession of owners, engineers and municipal officials led to the deadly cave-in of a northern Ontario mall two years ago, a judicial inquiry reported Wednesday. In a scathing indictment of those who allowed the Algo Centre Mall to rust to the point of collapse, Commissioner Paul Belanger pulls few punches in holding those responsible to account. “Although it was rust that defeated the structure of the Algo mall, the real story behind the collapse is one of human, not material, failures,” Belanger told scores of residents at a community centre. “Some of these failings were minor, some were not: they ranged from apathy, neglect and indifference through mediocrity, ineptitude and incompe-

tence, to outright greed, obfuscation and duplicity.” It was on a sunny Saturday afternoon in June 2012 that the rooftop parking deck, weakened by decades of rust-causing water and salt penetration, finally crashed down. Trapped in the rubble were Doloris Perizzolo, 74, and Lucie Aylwin, 37. Nineteen others were injured. While Perizzolo’s death was “mercifully quick,” Aylwin might have lived for as long as 39 hours, Belanger concludes. He noted “tantalizing” signs she was alive for some time: responsive tapping, a muffled voice, indications from search dogs. “There exists a possibility she might have been rescued,” he writes in his 1,400-page report. “But we will never know for sure.” What is clear is that the disaster began unfolding in the 1970s. The mall, Belanger concludes, was “doomed to early failure” while still in its planning stages. Putting parking on the roof was a

Alberta, There is a way of doing things here that demonstrates the very best of who we are. It says hard work matters. Integrity still has its place. And that the only promise worth making is the one you’re determined to keep. You’ll find these values alive and well in AUPE’s 85,000 members, the steady hand that keeps this province moving. We care for the aged and welcome the newborn. We keep the people safe, our parks the envy of the world. And while there are many ways we contribute, our every effort is passionately delivered in the service of just one thing: your well-being, Alberta. Fittingly, we call the values and principles that guide us The Alberta Way, a constant reminder that we must set high standards for ourselves because they are your standards too. And should our leaders fail to live up to those standards, we owe it to all Albertans to speak up — loudly and clearly. We are the members of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees. You will know us as your friends, your parents, uncles, aunts and neighbours. But where there is work to be done, we are proud to be known as

Cougars targeting a provincial run where we click and where we connect,” said Mahoney.

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Cougars 3, Lightning 0 The word consolation came up a little too much for the Notre Dame Cougars liking last year. The senior boy’s volleyball team were stuck behind arch rival Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School all season — first losing the zone final to the Raiders, then while LTCHS was celebrating provincial gold the Cougars brought back the consolation banner. On Wednesday night they flexed some of their muscle in a 3-0 (25-19, 31-29, 25-14) win over the Hunting Hills Lightning at Notre Dame. Head coach AJ Mahoney is hoping they can switch spots with the Raiders this year. “I think the guys that were on that team have taken that as a lesson to take advantage of our opportunities,” said Mahoney, who will be joined on the bench this year by Dana Woroniuk. “We definitely have some opportunities to do some damage this year.” The Cougars return six Grade 12 players from last season, but only two of them started — left side Michael Pearce and middle Devin Sheridan, both captains. “They know my systems well and they know how I coach and they’ve stepped in pretty easily (as leaders),” said Mahoney, who is in his fifth year of coaching the Cougars. The role of captain is one Pearce has embraced. “I feel real comfortable with it, this is my third year on the team, so I’ve had the opportunity to learn from some good role models and lead-

It is an expanded role for the third-year player, one he has accepted whole heartedly. “It’s been differently especially with the leadership role

and getting the troops behind you, and especially with playing a lot more, you’ve got to make sure you’re going out there consistently and playing your best,” said Quinn. Two younger players who have stepped to the forefront is libero Kane LeBlanc and Parker Biletsky, who’s brother Daimyn Biletsky was the MVP of last year’s team and has now moved on to the Red Deer College Kings as a middle. The Cougars started the season on fire, winning the

RDC Fall Classic, now beating Hunting Hills twice while losing to LTCHS in a close five set match. They’ve also played the No. 1 ranked Strathcona Lords tight this past weekend, losing by just two points. Right now they need to find some consistency. “We’ve been a little more up and down than I like, but at the same time having only two players that played all the time last year and then having these new guys come in, I think we’re still trying to find

Lightning 3, Cougars 1 The Notre Dame Cougars senior girls volleyball team is on a quest of team identity. Under the guidance of new head coach Rob “Skip” Meckling, the only thing that has been consistent is the inconsistency. This showed in their 3-1 (2515, 25-19, 21-25, 25-17) loss to the Hunting Hills Lightning, after looking to be in control in the fourth set with a 15-12 lead, the Lightning fought back and scored 13 of the next 15 points to close out the match. “We ran into a couple of mistakes and that seems to be our big challenge right now ... when we run into some simple errors we don’t have a recovery switch or method,” said Meckling, who is joined on the bench this year by Jeremy Batchelor. “We struggle to find a way to minimize mistakes and points against us. Once it gets tight, this team is dealing with adversity where they’re unsure of where to go and who to go to and not panicking.” The Cougars do have some talent at their disposal. They have a veteran core of six Grade 12 players, but their future is definitely bright with their Grade 11s and junior program. Their captain is Grade 11 left side Kirsten Pinkney, 16, who came up with the team last year and also played with Team Alberta this summer. “She’s very dynamic, she’s very athletic but she’s probably trying to do a lot, feeling the pressure to do a bit more than she needs to,” said Meckling.

Hiller backstops Flames to OT win over Hawks BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Flames 2 Blackhawks 1 OT CHICAGO — For much of the night, it looked as if Jonas Hiller was the only player on the ice for Calgary. The Chicago Blackhawks kept pressuring the veteran goaltender, and he turned them away over and over again. Playing on weary legs at the very end, Hiller stuck around long enough to get his first win for the Flames. Hiller made 49 saves and Mikael Backlund scored at 4:35 of overtime, lifting Calgary to a 2-1 victory at Chicago on Wednesday. “Tonight was probably not our best effort, but we found a way and worked hard and got better the longer the game went,” said Hiller, who began his career with Anaheim and signed a $9 million, two-year contract with Calgary in July. Dennis Wideman also scored for the Flames, who were coming off a 3-2 shootout win at Nashville on Tuesday. The Blackhawks controlled the action for much of the game, enjoying a whopping 50-18 advantage in shots on goal. But Hiller was outstanding and Backlund used a wrist shot to beat Corey Crawford on the goaltender’s glove side for his first goal of the season. “I was happy that we didn’t have to go to the shootout,” Hiller said. “I had a little tired

legs there at the end.” Andrew Shaw scored in the third period and Crawford had 16 saves in Chicago’s first loss in three games. The overtime began with a nice stop by Crawford on Paul Byron’s breakaway opportunity just 40 seconds into the extra period. Brad Richards had a chance to win the game for the Blackhawks, but his tip off a nice pass from Duncan Keith went wide. “They stole the game,” Chicago’s Marian Hossa said. “We had so many shots after the first period, and we just kept going. We played well, but we couldn’t put the puck in the net. Their goalie, he deserves all the credit.” The Blackhawks played keepaway for much of the first two periods, but Hiller stepped up and the Flames jumped in front at 11:55 of the second. Joe Colborne won a faceoff with Jonathan Toews and sent the puck back to Wideman, who let loose with a long slap shot that went off the stick of Blackhawks rookie Trevor van Riemsdyk and into the net. That was the only goal until the Blackhawks were successful on their seventh power play with 5:45 left in regulation. With Wideman in the penalty box for hooking, Shaw tipped Patrick Sharp’s long slap shot past Hiller for his second goal. Chicago had a couple chanc-

es for the tiebreaking score in regulation, but was unable to connect. Hiller stopped Patrick Kane’s backhander in the final seconds. “Our best shots, we probably had six or seven A-plus chances that didn’t even get a shot on net,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “We were looking for a better play, missed shot, blocked, too tight or missed the net. Those were the ones that didn’t even add up on the scoresheet as far as shots. But those were the quality chances we missed.” The Blackhawks outshot the weary Flames 18-2 in the first, but Hiller’s solid play kept the game scoreless. He stopped an open Kane with about 4 ½ minutes left in the opening period, and denied Jeremy Morin on consecutive shots in the second. Daniel Carcillo also misplayed a prime opportunity 6 ½ minutes into the game after Ben Smith’s drive and dish created an open side of the net for the winger. Sharp had a nice look in the second, and then slammed his stick against the glass after Hiller made the save. “We played with fire,” Calgary coach Bob Hartley said. “Hills gave us an unbelievable game and our penalty killing I think was the story with Jonas’ performance.”

Royals finish off sweep of Orioles, head to World Series BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Royals 2 Orioles 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — James Shields led thousands of fans in a celebratory chant. Lorenzo Cain pranced along the warning track, cradling his newborn son. Ned Yost finally allowed himself to smile. After nearly three decades spent as one of the game’s biggest laughingstocks, the Kansas City Royals are once again baseball royalty. They are headed to their first World Series since 1985, finishing a four-game sweep in the AL Championship Series with a 2-1 victory Wednesday over the Baltimore Orioles. In a perfect post-season, the Royals are intent to relish every moment. “It’s hard to explain,” said Cain, whose clutch hits and dramatic catches earned him

the series MVP award. “We’re clicking at the right moment right now.” There’s no doubt about that. Now, the Royals will carry an 11-game playoff win streak into the World Series, one shy of the major league record. That includes their first eight this season, something that had never been done in post-season history. Kansas City beat Oakland in a 12-inning wild-card thriller to start things off, then swept the Los Angeles Angels in the Divisional Series. Kansas City will open its first World Series since 1985 on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants. “It’s been an amazing run,” Royals outfielder Alex Gordon said. “It’s nothing better than when you win. Today, same old story: good pitching, good de-

fence and scratch out a win.” Same old story for the Orioles, too: Solid pitching, good defence — and just not enough offence. They managed seven hits over the last two games against Kansas City, resulting in the first sweep for the franchise in 21 post-season series. “You saw how close the games were,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “It’s more a testament to what they did. They were playing great defensively.” After holding the Orioles to three hits in Game 3, Jason Vargas and the Royals bullpen held them to four hits Wednesday night. Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis got the game to Greg Holland, who matched Dennis Eckersley’s record with his fourth save of the best-of-seven series. Holland got J.J. Hardy to ground out to third base for the final out, and the Royals

spilled onto the infield in a wild celebration. Fireworks shot over the crown-shaped scoreboard in centre field, and a blue-clad sellout crowd that included Royals greats George Brett and Brett Saberhagen let out a roar while cars on nearby Interstate 70 honked their horns. “That’s what you dream of as a kid,” Holland said. “Punch your ticket to the World Series, especially before your home crowd. These fans have been waiting a long time. They deserve it.” The Orioles, meanwhile, will limp into the off-season after a 96-win season in which they overcame injuries and suspensions to several key players along the way. “I think it’s not what we didn’t do. It’s more what they did,” said the Orioles’ Ryan Flaherty, whose home run represented their lone run. “We

played good baseball.” Making his first start in nearly two weeks, Vargas shut down the vaunted Orioles lineup in Game 4. The only damage he allowed came in the third inning, when Flaherty went deep. By that point, the Royals had already manufactured a pair of runs. Alcides Escobar singled off Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez to open the game, and Nori Aoki was drilled on the right knee a couple pitches later. Yost then opted to bunt with Cain, one of his hottest hitters, to advance both of the runners. It was a questionable decision so early in the game. But like almost every unorthodox move that Yost has made, it worked out perfectly — for the first sacrifice of Cain’s career.

Giants take advantage of clunky Cardinals defence to win Game 4 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NLDS

Giants 6 Cardinals 4 SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey and the Giants already know how to win in October — even without all this help from the St. Louis Cardinals. Even without home runs, or even hits. Posey drove in three runs and San Francisco took advantage of some clunky defence by first baseman Matt Adams, beating the Cardinals 6-4 on Wednesday night to move within one victory of the World Series. Chasing their third title in five years, the Giants lead the best-of-seven NL Championship Series 3-1 after poor throws cost the Cardinals yet again. October ace Madison Bumgarner can pitch San Francisco to another pennant Thursday at home in Game 5. Struggling All-Star Adam Wainwright starts for St. Louis, now facing the same daunting deficit the Giants overcame to beat the Cardinals in the 2012 NLCS. Kansas City awaits the winner after completing its ALCS sweep of Baltimore earlier in the day. The wild-card Royals will host Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night. San Francisco climbed out of an early three-run hole, and back-to-back bad throws by Adams in the sixth inning helped the Giants rally — one night after a wild toss by St. Louis reliever Randy Choate allowed the win-

ning run to score in the 10th inning. “I think any time you can put pressure on the defence, you’ve got the opportunity for good things to happen,” Posey said. “We’re able to come up with some big two-out RBIs to get back in the game.” Minus injured catcher Yadier Molina again, the Cardinals were clinging to a 4-3 lead when San Francisco put runners at second and third in the sixth. Playing in with one out, the lumbering Adams backhanded Gregor Blanco’s bouncer and stumbled as he tried to set himself to throw home. Adams had trouble with the transfer, and his toss short-hopped catcher Tony Cruz as Juan Perez slid across with the tying run. Joe Panik then hit a grounder right to Adams, who stepped on first base before firing wildly to second in trying for a double play. Brandon Crawford stopped about halfway between third and home, yet was able to score easily when Adams threw wide of the bag. Cardinals shortstop Jhonny Peralta came way off the base to catch the ball, but had no play at the plate. “The play at home, there’s a fast runner at third and I was going in on the ball and threw on the run,” Adams said. “Just should’ve made the throw, though. The second one, I should’ve just touched first and checked home.”

fence. BLADES 4 BRONCOS 3 (SO) SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — Nikita Soshnin, Alex Forsberg and Austin Adamson all scored in a shootout to lift Saskatoon over the Broncos. Cory Millette scored two power-play goals in regulation for the Blades (26-0), while Sam McKechnie added another power-play goal to round out the attack. Jake DeBrusk had a goal and two assists for Swift Current (6-5-1). Tanner LeSann also scored. ROCKETS 6 BLAZERS 4 KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Rourke Chartier scored two goals and assisted on another to extend Kelowna’s winning streak with a victory over the Blazers. Austin Glover struck twice for the Rockets (9-0-0), and Tyrell Gouldbourne had a goal and an assist, and Riley Stadel also scored. Cole Ully replied twice for Kamloops (6-4-1), while Collin Shirley chipped in with a goal and an assist. CHIEFS 4 THUNDERBIRDS 1 SPOKANE, Wash. — Liam Stewart scored twice and added two assists as the Chiefs toppled the Thunderbirds. Adam Helewka and Keanu Yamamoto had a goal and an assist apiece for Spokane (4-1-2), which outshot Seattle 43-19. Ryan Gropp had the lone goal for the Thunderbirds (4-4-1).

THE CANADIAN PRESS OIL KINGS 3 ROYALS 2 EDMONTON — Brett Pollock scored two first-period goals to lead the Edmonton Oil Kings to a 3-2 victory over the Victoria Royals in Western Hockey League action on Wednesday. Edgars Kulda added a short-handed goal, capping the Oil Kings (5-3-0) offence at 3:30 of the second period. Austin Carroll scored late in the second for the Royals (4-6-1) and Joe Hickets added a goal with two seconds remaining as Victoria fell just short of the comeback. Edmonton’s Tristan Jarry made 20 saves. Evan Smith stopped 27 shots in the loss.

Oilers still winless after loss to Coyotes BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Coyotes 7 Oilers 4 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Mikkel Boedker scored two of this three goals goal in the third period and added an assist, helping the Arizona Coyotes outlast the winless Edmonton Oilers 7-4 on Wednesday night. Boedker scored in the first period and gave Arizona a two-goal lead midway through the third. He added an empty-net goal for his first career hat trick, giving him five goals in three games. Connor Murphy, Kyle Chipchura, Rob Klinkhammer and Martin Erat also scored for the Coyotes, who had 13 players with at least one point. Edmonton had another shaky defensive effort, dropping to 0-3-1 on the season. Taylor Hall had two goals, and Marc Arcobello and Mark Fayne each scored for the Oliers, who have allowed 23 goals in four games. The Coyotes needed nearly all their goals after a second straight shaky performance by Mike Smith. Arizona’s No. 1 goalie said he felt uncomfortable in the season opener and it showed, giving up every goal in a 6-2 home loss to Winnipeg. The Coyotes started back-up Devon Dubnyk on Saturday and he played well, stopping 24 shots in a 3-2 overtime win against the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings.

Smith spent his time off working on his comfort level in the crease, saying he felt better after a few days of work with goalie coach Sean Burke. Smith was back between the pipes against Edmonton and gave up a goal on the third shot he faced. It was a tough chance, though; Hall scored on a one-timer from right outside the crease after the Coyotes had trouble clearing the zone and the puck ended up on Jordan Eberle’s stick. Smith got a bit of a bad break on Edmonton’s second goal when a dump-in by Leon Draisaitl took a strange carom off the backboards right out front to Fayne, who punched it in for his first of the season. Arcobello scored on a 3-on-1 early in the third period and Hall cut Arizona’s lead to 6-4 late in the period against Smith, who stopped 23 shots. But four goals wasn’t nearly enough the way Edmonton’s defence has been playing. Boedker scored his first goal on a power play in the first period, sneaking behind the Oilers after Smith started the play with his first assist of the season. Chipchura put Arizona up 2-1 late in the period with a one-timer off a nice feed from Joe Vitale behind the goal. In the second period, Murphy beat Ben Scrivens with a wrister from the top of the left circle, and Klinkhammer scored 1:07 later on a one-timer out front on a feed from behind by Erat.

Habs ready for home opener against rival Bruins BROSSARD, Que. — Dale Weise recalls the first time Vancouver faced Boston in the regular season after the Bruins’ seven-game victory over the Canucks in the 2011 Stanley Cup final. Early in the first period, a brawl erupted as Alex Burrows got a stick up during a line change. Weise was in the main event, trading punches with Boston’s Nathan Horton in a long battle away from the main melee. “We had a line brawl seven minutes in,� Weise, now a member of the Montreal Canadiens, said Wednesday. “So I think the fans, the media and everybody got what they wanted there.� The gritty winger does not expect quite the same when the Bruins visit the Bell Centre for the Canadiens home opener on Thursday night, or that there will be any spillover of bitterness from Montreal’s seven-game victory over their archrivals in the second round of playoffs last spring. In the handshake line after Game 7, Boston’s Milan Lucic reportedly told Weise “I’m going to kill you next year,� and also had words for defenceman Alexei Emelin. None of the Canadiens take Lucic literally. Weise expects a hard-fought game against a rival and divisional opponent, but not a war. “I don’t see it being the case,� said

Weise. “The media kinda blows things up a bit and the games have a hard time living up to that, so we’re just focusing on having a good game. “Being our first home game, everyone’s excited, the crowd’s going to be jumping and everybody will be ready to go.� Lucic took exception to Weise’s mock muscle flex in the finale, a mimic of the Bruins’ winger’s chest thumping and muscle flexing earlier in the series. The Bruins had a game Wednesday night in Detroit, so there was no word on their approach to the rematch with Montreal, although games between the teams are always tough and sometimes nasty. “I expect a loud crowd, I expect us to come out and play well and I expect an intense game,� added Weise. “Any time Boston plays Montreal there’s a lot of animosity. “I don’t think there’s going to be anything extra. It’s always there.� On Lucic, Weise said: “That’s the way he plays every night. He plays hard. He’s intense. I don’t think anything’s different if he plays us or any other team.� That will be seen when the puck drops as the Canadiens return home after starting the season 3-1-0 on the road. The trip included three comeback victories after weak first periods followed by a 7-1 thrashing at the hands in Tampa on Monday night. The Lightning took revenge for a

Source says NHL to award 2016 all-star game to Nashville BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Nashville will host the NHL all-star game for the first time in 2016, sources told The Canadian Press on Wednesday. A formal announcement is expected to be made at a news conference Friday at Bridgestone Arena. Commissioner Gary Bettman and local politicians will be in attendance. Bettman said in April 2012 during a trip to Nashville that Music City will host an all-star game. But the commissioner said then he couldn’t give a date with the event needing “stars to line up.� Nashville hosted the Women’s Final Four in April and is a finalist to host again between 2017 and 2020 at Bridgestone Arena, home of the Predators since their inaugural season in 199899. The arena also is scheduled to host the Southeastern Conference men’s basketball tournament nine of the next 10 years starting in March. A three-time all-star, Predators captain Shea Weber said the game is a lot of fun. Weber said it will be very exciting for Nashville and a nice reward for the Predators’ fans. “They are the best fans in the league,� Weber said after practice Wednesday. “For it to come to a city

here where they are going to enjoy it, the festivities are great. The cities I have been to in the past have done a great job of putting in other things for families and people to do. There’s so much for people to do here, it’s a great venue and I think people are going to enjoy it.� The Predators hosted the NHL’s entry draft in 2003 and have been on a short list to host the mid-season showcase. But Nashville needed a bigger downtown convention centre to host all the festivities connected with the all-star game. The Music City Center opened in May 2013. This is the latest event to be announced by the National Hockey League as it plans out its showcase stops over the next few years. The Winter Classic will take place at Nationals Park in Washington on Jan. 1, and later that month Columbus’s Nationwide Arena will hold the 2015 all-star game. June’s draft will be at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla., and the 2016 event will be at First Niagara Center in Buffalo, N.Y. “We put on more events than ever before,� Bettman said recently while in Toronto. “We create more content, the players are so tremendously accessible. ... There’s just more and more and more because we’re bigger and bigger and bigger.�

emotions. It’s going to be a battle.� Coach Michel Therrien said he expects the usual intensity of a BostonMontreal game, but he was more concerned about his special teams, which have gone 0-for-14 on the power play and a mediocre 14-for-18 on the penalty kill. The special teams units worked an extra half hour before practice, something Therrien said they weren’t able to do on the road. “We’ve got to be better on special teams,� said Therrien. “We haven’t had much chance to work on the power play because of the schedule. “On the road, we watched video and worked on Xs and Os, but you need to practice. The next two weeks will be good for us because we’re home for four games and we’ll have lots of time to practice.� Left-winger Max Pacioretty said the team needs to bear down more on the power play and earn their chances. “Last game we were terrible on the power play,� he said. “You have to have the same mindset as 5 on 5, in playing hard and winning your battles. Sometimes you get too comfortable on a power play and expect the guy next to you to make a play.� It appears the Canadiens will have Emelin back after the defenceman missed two games with an upper body injury. And it looks like Nathan Beaulieu will come out of the lineup, while six-foot-six Jarred Tinordi will play on the third pairing with Mike Weaver.

first round sweep at the hands of the Canadiens in the opening round in April. The Bruins will no doubt be seeking vengeance as well, said winger Brendan Gallagher. “We’ve been in that situation,� he said. “When you lose to a team in a playoff series; the disappointment, and how badly you want to beat them the next time we play them. “Tampa was like that. They fully deserved to win that game. They were a much better hockey team, and Boston’s going to be the same. We have to match that intensity. We have to do what we did well in those playoff series.� Gallagher, who brings a similar grit and intensity but in a much smaller package, trains with Lucic in the offseason in Vancouver. His father, Ian Gallagher, is strength and conditioning coach for the junior Vancouver Giants and has worked with Lucic for several years. Brendan Gallagher calls his Boston rival a “good person� who happens to play hockey with fire and a strong dose of nastiness. “Knowing Looch and the type of person and player he is, he’s going to play a good game,� said Gallagher. “He’s competitive and that’s what makes him Milan Lucic and such a tough player to play against. “He’s going to be up for it, but our group will be the same way. It’s definitely going to be a fun game to be part of. You’re going to have to manage your

even-par 71. “Obviously, you don’t want to win a golf tournament that way, but I’ll take it.� British Open and PGA champion Rory McIlroy closed with a 75 and was eight shots behind. Jim Furyk, the alternate in this 36-hole event for the year’s four major champions, had a 73 and was another shot behind. Watson, the Masters championship, shot 69. Kaymer chipped in for eagle on the 16th hole at Gleneagles to beat Watson in the Ryder Cup in another European victory. They also met in a playoff in the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, which Kaymer won on the last hole when Watson hit into the water.

FLAMES: Opportunity Before Wideman’s goal in the second, the Flames’ best scoring opportunity was Byron’s short-handed breakaway midway through the first. Byron beat Crawford, but he shot it off the inside of the right post. Calgary had another good look five minutes into the second, but Crawford was there to stop Brian McGrattan. NOTES: LW Brandon Bollig played 7 ½ minutes in his first game in Chicago since he was traded to Calgary in June. Bollig made his NHL debut with the Blackhawks in 2012 and spent three seasons with them. ... Blackhawks D Michal Rozsival (upper body) is back at practice and could return for Saturday’s game against Nashville. ... Flames LW Lance Bouma is day to day with a facial injury. Calgary also scratched RW David Jones and D Deryk Engelland with lower-body injuries.

ROYALS: Defence Eric Hosmer followed with a chopping groundball, and first baseman Steve Pearce went home with it. Escobar slid safely and the ball bounded away from catcher Caleb Joseph, allowing Aoki to follow his teammate home and giving the scrappy, smallball Royals a 2-0 lead. After that, it was up to their defence and bullpen.

Their other top player is middle Hayley Hollings who plays club ball with Pinkney. The challenge for Meckling is to unlock the potential of the players surrounding them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just trying to find the right combination and get the belief system going,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once they get on a role and everything starts to work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we just need a string of rallies and points to happen in our favour and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably catch fire.â&#x20AC;? Pinkney says the players are starting to catch on to their new coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s systems but they still need some work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to click and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just slowly getting into the swing of things,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different style, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very technical and knows what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talking about, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have that.â&#x20AC;? Meckling insists the potential is there, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen in it tournament play against top teams from Edmonton and Calgary, they just have a mental block when it comes to battling their two Red Deer rivals. Last year the club finished second in the zone, but despite their current set of issues they plan on taking a run at the zone title and a spot at provincials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The expectation is to be in the (zone) final and have a good shot at winning it,â&#x20AC;? said Meckling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The future of this school in volleyball is extremely strong ... weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sitting on a bunch of talent thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming in, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about right now ... weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to play for now.â&#x20AC;? jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Szabados expecting the unexpected OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL WINNING WOMEN’S HOCKEY GOALTENDER LOOKS FORWARD TO FULL SEASON IN MEN’S PRO LEAGUE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Shannon Szabados knows from her taste of the Southern Professional Hockey League to expect the unexpected this season. The goalie went down to Georgia at the end of September to get ready for a full season with the Columbus Cottonmouths. Training camp opened Wednesday. The 10-team SPHL is a minor pro men’s league based in the southeastern United States. Szabados started in a pair of onegoal losses to conclude the 2013-14 regular season and played the third period of a Cottonmouths playoff loss in April. “Getting a taste of what it would be like for the next seven or eight months that I’ll be here was definitely an advantage,” Szabados said from Columbus. “It will be nice to start here fresh at the beginning of the season and get in a few games and be on the ice every day.” The Cottonmouths open at home Oct. 24 against the Knoxville Ice Bears. Head coach and general manager Jerome Bechard told The Canadian Press he was leaning towards starting Szabados in the season-opener, even though returning veteran Andrew Loewen of Winnipeg has more pro experience. “I want to get that first win for her really bad,” Bechard said. “We play 56 games. In my mind, right off the bat, the plan is for her to get 20 games, if not more. I guess time will tell and we’ll see.” Szabados said she hadn’t been told of Bechard’s plans for her, but she wouldn’t expect him to ease her into the season based on previous experience. She accepted his invitation last March to join the Cottonmouths. Szabados had just backstopped the Canadian women’s hockey team to Olympic gold Feb. 20 in Sochi, Russia. Szabados also filled in March 5 at an Edmonton Oilers practice when the NHL team was temporarily short a goalie. After assuring Szabados he would give her time to adjust to her new team, Bechard threw her into the final home game after just two practices.

Szabados stopped 27 shots March 15 in a 4-3 loss to Knoxville. Szabados also had 32 saves in a 3-2 loss in Huntsville less than a week later for a combined 3.55 goals-against average and .894 save percentage. The 28-year-old from Edmonton played the last 23 minutes of Game 1 of the SPHL championship against Pensacola in relief of Loewen. Szabados allowed three goals in a 9-1 blowout. The Ice Flyers swept Columbus in the two-game series. Bechard re-signed Szabados in July with the expectation she and Loewen will be the Cottonmouths goalies this season. “I wouldn’t bring her in if she wasn’t legit and didn’t give us an opportunity to win,” Bechard said. “She is probably one of the most technical goalies I’ve seen. “If she’s susceptible, it would be on a rebound, back-door goal because she is a little smaller than Andrew and some of the other goalies. But she’s pretty acrobatic and goes side to side with the best of them. She’s really key on making that first save look simple and not giving up the rebounds.” Szabados, five foot eight and 148 pounds, made 27 saves in Canada’s 3-2 thrilling overtime win over the U.S. to defend women’s hockey gold in Sochi. She posted a 28-save shutout over the Americans in the women’s Olympic hockey final in 2010. But Szabados has spent the majority of her career in men’s leagues and it’s where she feels comfortable. Szabados played four years in the Alberta Junior Hockey League with Sherwood Park, Bonneyville and Fort Saskatchewan. Szabados was named the AJHL’s top goaltender in 2006-07. She spent five years in Alberta men’s college hockey with Grant MacEwen and then NAIT. She set an ACAC record for the lowest goals-against average (1.58) in 201213 when the Ooks won their first championship in 16 years. The SPHL will be her toughest challenge yet in the men’s game. “It’s definitely the highest level I’ve played,” Szabados said. “Going from junior to the ACAC and then to here, it’s similar style except the guys are older, bigger, stronger and faster.” “For me, reaction time and working that into my game has helped me over

WORLD MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ASH, England — Defending champion Graeme McDowell and Victor Dubuisson began the World Match Play Championship with comfortable wins on Wednesday, three weeks after teaming up as one of Europe’s top pairings in the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles. McDowell had a 3-and-2 victory over

Alexander Levy, who won the Portugal Masters on Sunday, and Dubuisson beat Pablo Larrazabal by the same score in the first of three group matches at The London Club in southeast England. “Historically in this event the last couple of years I have been getting off to slow starts and you don’t want to put yourself in the hole against good players,” said McDowell, who was 4 up

Szabados knows from her taste of the Southern Professional Hockey League to expect the unexpected this season. the years. I started playing hockey with guys when I was five and have stuck with it. Now there’s a lot more female teams, but I really didn’t have that option.” The Cottonmouths cover her living and team expenses. She says the average weekly salary in the SPHL is in the range of $350 to $450. Szabados says her teammates on the Canadian women’s team haven’t given her grief about playing men’s hockey when she could be playing in, and promoting, the Canadian Women’s Hockey League at home. “On the players’ side of it, they understand,” she said. “As a goalie, it’s a little easier to play against guys twice your size. A lot of them have said if they could do it, they would. Especially within Hockey Canada, they’ve been pretty supportive.” Bechard’s connection to women’s hockey is cousin Kelly Bechard, a forward from Sedley, Sask., who won Olympic gold with the Canadian women in 2002. He’s a Regina native who compiled

280 penalty minutes in a single season with the Moose Jaw Warriors back in 1987-88. Goaltender Manon Rheaume appeared in the first of two NHL preseason games 22 years ago with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Bechard admits the novelty of a female goalie in the male game still fill seats. “I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say ’hey, it’s a great story with her being here and competing against the guys,”’ he said. “I’m trying to grow hockey in a non-traditional sport in the south “I’m not the most traditional guy to begin with, I think. I relish being different and trying to do things a little differently than the norm. This is just a great thing.” Loewen also grabbed the publicity bull by the horns when Szabados played her first game last season. He’s YouTube famous for dancing the “Wobble” in full goalie gear at intermission alongside the Venom dance team and Boomer the cuddly rattlesnake. “He’s a good guy and we got along right away,” Szabados said. “He’s helped me out a lot.”

after 10 holes against Levy in the first match of the day. “So a good start for me was key. I got going with the putter and was able to build a winning lead.” Henrik Stenson, at No. 5 the highest-ranked player in the 16-man field, halved his match with George Coetzee of South Africa. Two other members of Europe’s Ryder Cup winning team, Stephen Gallacher and Jamie Donaldson, lost to Shane Lowry and Paul Casey, respectively. Patrick Reed, the U.S. team’s top points scorer in Gleneagles, opened

with a 2-and-1 loss to Jonas Blixt. Reed won 3 ½ points in the Ryder Cup in his first appearance in the competition. Blixt went ahead with a birdie at No. 7 and was never behind after that. “It was one of those days where both of us played pretty solid, but at the end of the day I didn’t really make anything,” said the Texas-born Reed. Other players to start with wins were Joost Luiten and Thongchai Jaidee, who lost to McDowell in last year’s final.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Driving to Hell and back can be cool ANN ARBOR, MI. – If you’re driving to Hell, what kind of car would you want to be in? An SUV? A sports car? One that if you never come back, at least your missing person’s report would list you last seen: “in something fast, flashy and awesome?” When my driving partner and I stumbled upon Hell, Michigan, or at least the sign that directed us that way, we were in the all-new, 2015 Hyundai Sonata; a sedan that is now seven generations strong. We had air conditioning in case it got really hot and directions via the navigation system in case we wanted to go to Hell and back and lost our way. And comfortable seats in case the crossing of the River Styx was long and arduous. Furthermore, we had the power to get us out of there if we needed to leave in a hurry. Okay, enough about Hell and back to the car… for 2015, the Sonata gives you two engine options; both of which have been revised for the seventh generation. The first is a peppy 2.4L, 4-cylinder with 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s the spirited, optional, 2.0-litre twinscroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engine variants are linked with a 6-speed automatic transmission. There’s a lot going on with Hyundai’s mid-size sedan. It’s built with an all-new chassis, which equates to a more comfortable ride, better handling and an overall improvement in NVH

(Noise, Vibrations, Harshness.) To test that out, we took it to the streets of Ann Arbor in Michigan, as well as the backcountry roads that have sweeping corners and tight turns. The first thing I noticed was how much better the handling was, especially when you have it in Sport mode. The 2015 Sonata gives the driver a choice of three drive modes. These modes work together with the sedan’s engine, transmission, and MotorDriven Power Steering (MDPS) to suit different driver preferences. In Sport, powertrain responsiveness and heavier steering weight are both increased. The steering weight definitely comes in handy on the twisty parts of the road. In Normal mode, steering isn’t as responsive but better suited for urban environments. And if you’re in a fuel saving mood, pop the car into Eco mode. This softens throttle response and recalibrates transmission response so you get the most out of your tank. Speaking of steering, Hyundai mentions, “The 2015 Sonata’s steering wheel features an irregular shape with increased rim thickness and ergonomic grip rests. These subtle changes ensure more of the steering wheel surface remains in contact with the driver’s hands. In turn, the vehicle offers enhanced steering system feel, especially at high speed.” I’d agree with this. My fingers were comfortably placed at 9 and 3 o’clock and felt pretty good there. But it’s not just the driving modes and steering wheel that make the Sonata as popular as it is.

The 2015 comes with all new styling inside and outside. Let’s start with the cabin, since the driver will spend more time looking at a centre stack than they will the front, hexagonal grille. Featuring even higher quality materials than before, it’s softer to the touch and the layout is optimized for the driver. On the outside, you’ll see a family resemblance to the Sonata’s big brother, the Genesis. The character line is more pronounced, yet the cumulative look is more sophisticated and mature.

It’s a tough segment to be in. When you have frontrunners like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and more, it can get pretty heated. But the Sonata remains We had air cool and collected conditioning in case and has the goods to keep up with the it got really hot and best of them. directions via the The 2015 Hyundai navigation system in Sonata has a starting case we wanted to go MSRP of $23,999. to Hell and back and The top of the line Sport 2.0T Ultimate lost our way. has an MSRP of Alexandra Straub $34,799.

Five of Ford’s oddest cars backward-slanted rear roofline and a rear window that lowered for ventilation that added a truly strange look to the car, as well as providing ready ingress for exhaust fumes.

Multi-national Ford Motor Company has charted a quite conservative path through the years. Unlike dedicated eccentrics SAAB, Citroën and even American Motors, Ford has produced few cars that could be characterized as weird, but here are five from Ford (and its Lincoln and Mercury divisions) that still have us scratching our heads: 1982-85 Ford Escort EXP: The EXP (along with its twin the Mercury Lynx LN-7) was simply bizarre. It was supposed to be a sporty two-seater version of the Escort compact, but the styling was incomprehensible. It was touted as a modern, affordable and efficient version of the concept that brought the car world the classic two-seater 1955-57 Thunderbird. But where the T-Bird was graceful and elegant, the EXP was just odd, and the squinty, hung-over look to the headlight treatment was particularly strange. 1963 Mercury Monterey Breezeway: The Monterey and its predecessor, the Turnpike Cruiser, were standard 1950s and 1960s full-size Ford Motor Company products, but it was the

1959-67 Ford Anglia 105E: Famous as the flying car from the “Harry Potter” series, this English Ford sported a distinctly American feature — the bizarre, backward-slanted rear window that Lincolns and Mercurys had sported in the U.S.

2002 Lincoln Blackwood: The Blackwood was a one-year-only Lincoln luxury pickup designed to compete with the Cadillac Escalade XLT. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the answer to a question that nobody was asking—a shortbed luxury pickup that was too nice to haul anything. Less than 3,500 were made in that single year.

odd duck Ford not seen in the U.S, the Ka was both an oddly named and strangely styled city car that measured just over 142” overall. Performance was largely theoretical as the Ka was powered by a derivative of the ancient four-cylinder that powered the Anglia. Handling was at least said to be entertaining.

Sylvan Lake hires PEI-based company to build new fire hall

FUN WITH SCIENCE

A P.E.I.-based company will be building Sylvan Lake’s new fire hall. APM Construction Services Inc., of Charlottetown, was the only firm of six bidders to come in under the town’s $4.8-million budget. The company’s $4.7-million bid beat out bids ranging from $5 million to $6.2 million. The 14,500-square-foot fire hall will be located just north of the town’s RCMP station on Beacon Hill on 50th Street, a few blocks south of town centre. Companies were rated on a scale of 100 and fire hall architects Sahuri and Partners Architectures Inc. recommended APM’s bid. Total cost of the fire hall project, including site work, is $6.2 million. The project has been faced with rising budgets and delayed construction starts. Faced with higher-than-expected costs, council voted earlier this year to reduce the size of the building from 19,000 square feet. Construction could begin before the end of the year and will take about a year, depending on the weather and other factors.

City looking to curb noise from home heating and cooling systems Noisy air conditioning units may soon be silenced in Red Deer.

Hackett said the usage went up and they are currently investigating the reasons. Information surrounding modular split is garnered from the federal census. There was not one conducted in 2013 so the split remained the same. The annual report indicated that the city is making progress on 12 out of 18 measurements of progress covering water conservation, ecology, renewable energy, transportation and waste.

The annual report promotes what has been accomplished over the year and identifies any adjustments in actions or measures. After collecting the data since 2009, the city set a new target for fuel consumption. It now seeks a reduction of 1.3 per cent per year or 1,156 litres per capita per year. The baseline figure for 2009 was 1,257 litres per person per year. A report to the community is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

Rain postpones Taylor Drive and Ross Street interchange opening Mother Nature has out a damper on the opening of the Taylor Drive and Ross Street intersection. The important interchange was expected to open today but the rain has prevented the lines on the pavement from drying. It is expected to reopen as early as this weekend, depending on the weather.

Progress is being made on reducing Red Deer’s carbon footprint but there’s still work to be done. City council endorsed the Environmental Master Plan annual report on Tuesday. Environmental Initiatives supervisor Nancy Hackett told council that the city is making headway in many areas but there was poor progress made on improving air quality, reducing the electricity use or natural energy use of city owned buildings (building energy intensity) and changing the modular split (how people get to work). Hackett said the city continues to meet

Trek turns deadly AVALANCHE, BLIZZARD KILL 12 PEOPLE, INCLUDING 4 CANADIANS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEPAL

An avalanche and a blizzard in Nepal’s mountainous north have killed at least 12 people, including four Canadians, officials said. The co-founder of Montreal-based travel agency Terra Ultima said Wednesday that three Quebecers are among those missing and feared dead. Julien Passerini said six Quebecers in all were in the area, including those missing: two women in their 50s and one in her 30s. One of the three is the hikers’ guide. “The group of five people, accompanied by an experienced guide, left Canada for Nepal on Oct. 3 for a threeweek trip,” Terra Ultima said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with the friends and families of those who are missing.” Two Ottawa women — Jane Van Criekingen and Virginia Schwartz —were also believed to be missing. “We have unconfirmed reports that both Virginia and Jane are OK,” Mark Schwartz, Virginia’s brother, told Ottawa radio station 1310News. A statement from the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal said the bodies of five people — four Canadians and one Indian trekker — were recovered from Phu area in Manang district. A company called Panorama Himalaya confirmed the deaths of three Canadian clients in an avalanche while a company called Nepal Hidden Treks confirmed the death of a Canadian woman. Panorama Himalaya also said it had rescued three other Canadian trekkers, according to the Trekking Agen-

the two Poles, one Israeli and one Nepali trekker from the Thorong La pass area. It was initially thought that group had been caught in an avalanche, but government official Yam Bahadur Chokyal said the four trekkers instead had been caught in the blizzard and died. He said another 14 foreign trekkers have been rescued so far, and two army helicopters were picking up injured trekkers and flying them to Jomsom town. Chokyal said it was not possible to say how many trekkers were still on the route stranded by the deep snow but several of them have reached safe ground on Wednesday because of improved weather. Five other climbers — two from Slovakia and three Nepalese guides — were hit by a separate avalanche on Mount Dhaulagiri and remained missing. The rain and snow in Nepal were caused by a cyclone that hit neighbouring India several days ago. October is the most popular trekking season in Nepal, with thousands of foreigners hiking around Nepal’s Himalayan mountains. The Thorong La pass is also on the route that circles Mount Annapurna, the world’s 10th highest peak. An avalanche in April just above the base camp on Mount Everest killed 16 Nepalese guides, the deadliest single disaster on the mountain. Climate experts say rising global temperatures have contributed to avalanches on the Himalayan mountains.

BRIEF Nurse infected by Ebola virus transferred to Atlanta hospital ATLANTA — A Dallas nurse diagnosed with Ebola was being transferred Wednesday to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, one of four U.S. hospitals with specialized isolation unites to care for Ebola patients. An ambulance with a crew clad in hazardous-material suits arrived at the hospital Wednesday afternoon and left for Dallas Love Field. There, aerial video showed the crew leading a person in a yellow hazmat suit and booties onto a jet. A statement issued by the Atlanta hospital Wednesday said Amber Joy Vinson was being transferred to Emory from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. However, a spokeswoman for the Dallas hospital declined to confirm that Vinson had been removed from the facility. Vinson was one of the nurses who cared for Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian national who died at the Dallas hospital last week of the Ebola virus. Another nurse is in good condition receiving treatment for Ebola. Another Ebola patient being treated at Emory — an American doctor said Wednesday that he had been critically ill but is now recovering and expects to be discharged soon.

The death toll was likely to rise as rescuers struggled through snow and rough terrain to help dozens who remained stranded, the officials said. Prime Minister Stephen Harper took to Twitter to voice his sympathy. “Laureen and I express our condolences to the families and friends of the four Canadians who lost their lives

decade insurgency. The Islamic State group launched its offensive on Kobani in mid-September, capturing dozens of nearby Kurdish villages and a third of the town in lightning advances that sent massive waves of civilians fleeing across the border into Turkey.

MURSITPINAR, Turkey — Intensified U.S.-led airstrikes and a determined Kurdish military force on the ground appear to have had some success in halting advances by Islamic State fighters on a strategic Kurdish town near Syria’s border with Turkey — at least for now. On Wednesday, the Kurdish militiamen were fighting ferocious street battles with the Sunni extremists in Kobani and making advances on some fronts, hours after the U.S.-led coalition stepped up its aerial campaign. In a surprising display of resilience, the Kurdish fighters have held out against the more experienced jihadists a month into the militants’ offensive on the frontier town, hanging on to their territory against all expectations. “People underestimate the power of determination,” said Farhad Shami, a Kurdish activist in Kobani. “The Kurds have a cause and are prepared to die fighting for it.” They also have the advantage of fighting on familiar ground. “Islamic State fighters have far more superior weapons, but they lack knowledge of the terrain,” said Rami Abdurrahman, director of the Britainbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Kurdish fighters, on the other hand, know “every street, building and corner” of Kobani and have the powerful “will of resistance,” he said. Some of them are experienced fighters who have fought alongside rebels of the affiliated PKK in Turkey as they battled for autonomy for Kurds during a three-

Police action against Hong Kong protesters sparks outrage HONG KONG — Riot police moving against activists sparked outrage after officers were seen kicking a handcuffed protester and dragging dozens of others away Wednesday in the worst violence against the pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong since they began more than two weeks ago. Clashes that erupted before dawn Wednesday continued early Thursday, as police used pepper spray to push back crowds of protesters trying to occupy a road outside the government’s headquarters. Tensions were high but the scenes were not as chaotic as on Wednesday, when protesters were knocked to the ground by hundreds of police, some with batons, pepper spray and shields.

The clashes have worsened an already bitter standoff between authorities and activists who have taken over key roads and streets in the city to press for democratic reforms. “Hong Kong police have gone insane today, carrying out their own punishment in private,” said prodemocracy lawmaker Lee Cheuk-yan. “Hong Kong’s values and its rule of law really have been completely destroyed by police chiefs.” Public anger over the aggressive tactics exploded after local TV showed officers taking a protester around a dark corner and kicking him repeatedly on the ground. It’s unclear what provoked the attack. Local Now TV showed him splashing water on officers beforehand. Protester Ken Tsang said he was kicked while he was “detained and defenceless.” He added that he was assaulted again in the police station afterward. Tsang, a member of a pro-democracy political party, lifted his shirt to show reporters injuries to his torso. Police spokesman Steve Hui said seven officers who were involved have been temporarily reassigned, and that authorities will carry out an impartial investigation. Police arrested 45 demonstrators in the clashes.

SAW-WHET

OWLS

Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune to see, photograph and help band Northern saw-whet owls. Each experience has been awe-inspiring. These tiny owls are so-named because the male’s highpitched whistling call, issued at night during the early spring, sounds like the teeth of a saw being sharpened MYRNA with a whet PEARMAN stone. Although seen throughout the year, banding research shows that many migrate south for the winter while others seem to wander randomly. The following images are from a few of my various encounters with these fascinating little owls. Saw-whets are active only at night, and because their cryptic colouration works as an effective camouflage, they are easily overlooked as they sleep the day away tucked close to a tree trunk. If startled, they usually open their eyes for a few moments before falling back to sleep. Saw-whets are secondary cavity nesters, taking up residence in old woodpecker holes or nestboxes placed in poplar or mixed-wood forests. The female does all incubation while the male brings her dead mice and other food items. He also defends the nesting area. Like all birds of prey, saw-whets commence incubation as soon as the first egg is laid. As a result, their broods can vary in age by several days. The incubation period is 21 to 28 days. Jim Potter of Delburne checked one of his saw-whet owl boxes a few summers ago after several rainy days. He found this last remaining nestling caked in mud. He carefully cleaned it up as best he could and replaced the soggy nesting material with dry grass. When he next checked the box, the young bird had successfully fledged. Young Saw-whets fledge at fourto-five weeks of age. Fledgling Sawwhets look very different from the adults, sporting caramel-brown chests and bright white eyebrows. By late fall they have molted into their adult plumage. Ellis Bird Farm helped make science history this year by developing an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device)-based tracking system for use on saw-whets. The yellow band on this female’s left leg has a small RFID chip attached to it. When the chip passes over a special antenna placed beneath the nestbox entrance hole, an ‘event’ is triggered and recorded on an SD card. Box activity can be accurately tracked using this innovative and non-invasive technology. Myrna Pearman is the biologist/site services manager at Ellis Bird Farm.

After 30 years of holding my breath on the issue of what I believe to the $130 million to $150 million a year lost to Albertans by permitting public land grazing leaseholders to receive the oil and gas surface disturbance payments on the leases, the CBC is working on a feature on the issue. But, despite unusual offers of anonymity, voice alteration, etc., the broadcaster is understandably having trouble finding people willing to tell the story of the thousands of dollars being received annually in surface disturbance by neighbours with public

land grazing leases. The threat and intimidation factor on this issue is a story in itself. Over the years I have reliably been told of public land grazing leaseholders receiving more than $100,000 annually in surface disturbance payments to land that we, not they, own. I have always been asked not to name my informant and I have always complied. Surely, now, it is time for someone to tell me he is ready to stand up and be counted; a Montanan might, but then no jurisdiction I know of doles as sweet a deal to public land grazing leaseholders as Alberta does.

It is much easier to start with moist soil as opposed to trying to wet it once it is in the container. Place the plants on top of the soil along with ornamentation to get an idea of how many will fit and the design. If desired, contour the soil to form small hills and valleys. Once satisfied, dig the holes for the plants. Take the plants, one at a time out of the pot and examine the roots. If the root ball is completely white, cut an X across the bottom of the roots to encourage it to spread outwards into surrounding soil.

TFW cap impacts labour shortage: Kobly ALBERTA CHAMBERS CEO WARNS LABOUR SHORTFALL COULD REACH 90K IN 2016 BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Think Alberta’s labour shortage is severe now? Wait until July 2016. That’s when the federal government’s cap on the number of lowwage temporary foreign workers that a business can employ will have been ratcheted down to 10 per cent of its workforce — a reduction that, when combined with Alberta’s current labour shortfall of about 50,000 people, will leave a provincial deficit of 90,000 employees. Those are the numbers Ken Kobly tossed around on Wednes- Ken Kobly day, when the president and CEO of the Alberta Chambers of Commerce spoke at a luncheon meeting of the Red Deer and District Chamber of Commerce. “The casualties are coming,” said Kobly of the likely impact on businesses. He cited the results of a recent survey spearheaded by the Alberta Chambers of Commerce, which found that 91 per cent of respondents felt they had exhausted every option to find Canadian workers. Fifty-eight per cent said it was likely that they would have to reduce their hours of operation, and 23 per

cent said closure of their operations was likely. Businesses are already being shuttered as a result of the labour shortage and the new restrictions placed on Canada’s temporary foreign worker program, said Kobly. “Business owners are getting tired of working 14-, 16-hour shifts,” he said. Part of the problem stems from the fact that while Alberta has an unemployment rate of 4.4 per cent — only about 0.5 percentage points above the level that economists consider full employment — the labour market is much different in other parts of the country. “This issue is a regional issue,” said Kobly. “No different than the regional issue that Quebec has, and Quebec has control over their immigration policies.” He accused federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney of overstating the number of temporary foreign workers in the country and understating the wage increases in Alberta’s food service industry. “We don’t underpay in Alberta,” said Kobly. “The reality is we’re forced not to, simply because there’s a huge competitive labour market.” Kobly also said it’s a myth that temporary foreign workers cost less than Canadians to employ. The price tag to recruit and bring in one foreign worker is between $11,000 and $14,000, he said. “Given a choice, Alberta businesses would dearly love to hire Albertans first and Canadians, and only are going to guest workers as a very last measure.”

There are employers who have abused the system, acknowledged Kobly. But these could be addressed through increased enforcement rather than broad rule changes. Other unwelcome changes to the temporary foreign worker program include big increases in the application and renewal fees, and penalties of up to $100,000, he said. For its part, the Alberta Chambers of Commerce has been lobbying for an Alberta solution to the problem. “Unless the federal government realizes that this is a regional issue and sends the cavalry, we’re going to have some issues in this province; huge issues,” said Kobly. And those issues will impact more than just the businesses that rely on foreign labour. “For those of you who don’t use temporary foreign workers, this issue is going to affect you too, because when we hit 90,000 job vacancies I can tell you that it’s going to affect your business as well.” Kobly was later asked if he thought the temporary foreign worker program should serve as a path to Canadian citizenship. “My personal opinion is if you’ve got a temporary foreign worker or guest worker who’s worked for two, three or even four years, and they’ve paid their taxes and stayed on the right side of the law and become part of their local community, they should be allowed to stay here.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Trail Appliances September home sales down relocating to FIRST MONTHLY DECLINE SINCE JANUARY: CREA Gasoline Alley BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Red Deer is losing a longtime business to Gasoline Alley. Trail Appliances plans to relocate from 2823 Bremner Ave. to 557 Lantern St., which is northwest of Cam Clark Ford. Sandee Wahl-Meyers, director of marketing for the Western Canadian home appliance retailer, said the new building will measure 43,000 square feet, including a 20,000-square-foot showroom. The additional space will enable the store to display more products and maintain a larger inventory. Currently, she said, Trail Appliances has to rely on off-site storage for its Red Deer store. Putting everything under one roof will speed up the buying process for customers. Features at the new store will include a live demonstration kitchen that could be used by guest chefs, a water-testing station that will help customers choose water purification systems and other products, and in-store kitchens, said Wahl-Meyers. “People actually have a chance to see what the appliances will look like. “We’re going to have an indoor customer pick-up centre, so that when people are picking up in the freezing cold winter they can actually back indoors,” she added. Timelines for construction have yet to be confirmed, but Wahl-Meyers said store officials are hoping the project will be finished by the end of 2015. “We’re still finalizing the interior of the building.” She said the new location will be very visible and accessible, and offer customers plenty of parking. The development permit issued by Red Deer County for the building was valued at $8.5 million, and the contractor is Scott Builders Inc. Trail Appliances has been owned and operated by the Broderick family since 1974. The business currently consists of 15 stores, with six of these in Alberta and the remainder in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. “There are over 25 family members now involved in the business,” said Wahl-Meyers. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

OTTAWA — Sales of existing homes cooled in September as they fell 1.4 per cent on a month-overmonth basis, the first monthly decline since January, the Canadian Real Estate Association said Wednesday. The association said sales through its Multiple Listings Service were down in about 60 per cent of all local housing markets last month. CREA president Beth Crosbie said affordably priced single family homes are in short supply in some of the hottest markets and that contributed to the monthly decline. “That said, there are other markets with ample supply, but sellers there are holding firm on price,” Crosbie said in a statement. “There is a lot of variation in housing market trends depending on the type of housing, neighbourhood and price segment.” Compared with a year ago, sales were up 10.6 per cent. However CREA said September 2013 had five Sundays, considered to be the slowest day for home sales. The average price for a home sold last month was $408,795, up 5.9 per cent compared with a year ago. Excluding the Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto markets, the average price was $325,406, up 4.5 per cent from September 2013. The aggregate composite MLS Home Price Index was up 5.28 per cent compared with a year ago. BMO Capital Markets senior economist Robert Kavcic noted that there were large regional differences in house prices with Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary posting strong gains. “Conditions get decidedly weaker anywhere east of Toronto, with no city reporting average prices up more than three per cent year-over-year, and fully half below year-ago levels,” Kavcic wrote in a report. “The good news is that the wide disparities in Canada’s housing market largely reflect economic, demographic and supply/demand fundamentals at work, all but eliminating any fears of a widespread ’bubble.”’ The number of newly listed homes fell by 1.6 per cent in September compared with August. CREA said the national sales-to-new listings ratio was 55.7 per cent in September compared with 55.6 per cent in August and within the 40 to 60 per cent range usually described as a balanced market. The association noted that just over half of all lo-

The Canadian Real Estate Association says home sales through its Multiple Listings Service in September fell 1.4 per cent on a month-over-month basis, the first monthly decline since January. cal markets posted a sales-to-new listings ratio in the balanced range. There were 5.9 months of inventory nationally at the end of September 2014, up slightly from 5.8 months in August. TD Bank senior economist Randall Bartlett said the lack of listings on the market continued to be a surprise. “This suggests that home price growth may have more upside room over the next few months,” Bartlett said in a report. “While the housing market continues to defy expectations in 2014, we still remain of the view that housing activity will eventually cool from current levels. With home prices continuing to rise above incomes, affordability will become an obstacle to housing demand once interest rates do eventually begin to rise.” Meanwhile, the Teranet—National Bank national composite house price index posted a monthly increase of 0.3 per cent for September.

Ottawa must consider falling oil prices: economists BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TAX CUTS

OTTAWA — The federal government will have to weigh the potential risks of sliding oil prices before it starts doling out large tax cuts in advance of next year’s election, economists warn. Finance Minister Joe Oliver has promised the government would live up to its tax-cutting pledges despite a sharp fall in oil prices — thanks to a projected surplus in next year’s budget. But some economists say Oliver will be forced to pay close attention to the drop, which could well affect the bottom line in a country as dependent on oil production as Canada. “The federal government revenues are extremely sensitive to what oil prices are doing,” said Scott Clark, a former senior Finance Department bureaucrat and professor at Carleton University in Ottawa. “If you listen to Mr. Oliver, he’s very optimistic — in fact, almost unbelievably optimistic — about the surplus going forward. “He seems to be downplaying the impact of the oil prices, or that lower oil prices will continue.” Oliver expressed his confidence once again this week after emerging from a meeting with privatesector economists, an annual consultation to discuss the country’s economic outlook before the release of the fall economic update. The fiscal update is expected in the coming weeks. While he acknowledged the low price of oil could stunt Canada’s economic growth, Oliver reiterated his vow to bring tax relief to Canadians and table a

balanced budget in the 2015 election year. Oil has hit a two-and-a-half year low, the result of a drop that has already prompted the country’s policy-makers to examine the potential pitfalls of lower prices. Oliver has credited Canada’s resource sector for financing Canada’s social programs, but what happens when commodity prices continue to tumble — and don’t immediately recover? Meanwhile, economies around the world, like Europe and China, continue to struggle amid other risks like the expanding Middle Eastern conflict and the Ebola crisis. Amid all the global uncertainty, Clark instead recommends an approach that would directly benefit the economy, rather than decreasing taxes. “It’s unclear to me why this is really a great time to be doing (tax cuts) — putting aside the politics, obviously.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently announced last year’s deficit came in at $5.2 billion, much lower than the $16.6-billion shortfall projected in the budget. The government has predicted a $6.5-billion surplus for 2015-16. The Conservatives made tax-cutting pledges in the last election contingent on a balanced budget, including income splitting for couples with children under 18 and a doubling of the annual limits for taxfree savings accounts.

TD Economics recently projected the government’s 2011 election commitments would cost nearly $20 billion through the 2019-20 fiscal year, or about one-third of the projected total surplus over that period. The bank’s Randall Bartlett said the promised tax-relief measures should still leave room in the surplus. But he added that an extended period of low energy prices could shrink federal tax revenue and have a negative effect on the labour market. “So, no doubt it will give them pause when they’re making their decisions going forward,” Bartlett said about the Conservative promises. “But whether or not that impact is going to be so significant that it will cause them to change their views on the policies they would like to introduce, I don’t know if that’s the case.” In the short term, he said Canadian motorists will likely get to enjoy cheaper rates at the pumps, even though the economy performs better as a whole when energy prices are high. Bartlett said the Canadian dollar, which has also fallen recently, could offset some of the losses by helping to encourage exports. The Bank of Canada has announced plans to measure the impact of cheaper oil in its upcoming monetary policy report, scheduled for release next Wednesday. Last week, Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz called the effect of oil prices difficult to assess, particularly when trying to determine whether the drop is a permanent decline or a short-term blip.

Indexes closed well above the worst levels of the session but the S&P/TSX composite index still tumbled 166.8 points to 13,869.88 as the TSX fell further into correction territory, losing 12 per cent since the record highs of last month and close to shedding all its gains for the year. U.S. markets moved closer to a formal correction, defined as a plunge of at least 10 per cent from recent highs. The Dow Jones industrials fell 173.45 points to 16,141.74, the Nasdaq lost 11.85 points to 4,215.32 and the S&P 500 index declined 15.21 points to 1,862.49. Worries about the economy deepened as U.S. retail sales for September came in weaker than expected, falling 0.3 per cent amid broad weakness against the 0.1 per cent decline that economists had expected. “Overall, this is a setback for consumer spending and suggests downside risk for Q3 growth,” said BMO Capital Markets senior economist Jennifer lee. The Canadian dollar edged up 0.38 of a cent to 88.83 cents US as the greenback weakened following release of the retail data. Traders were unmoved by data in the Federal Reserve’s latest economic survey showing that most regions across the U.S. saw modest or moderate economic growth in September. Markets have headed steadily downward since last month but the sell-off gained momentum last week as a string of disappointing German economic data raised concerns that Europe’s biggest economy could be headed back into recession. Also, the International Monetary Fund again revised downward its global growth projections. Growth concerns have particularly hammered oil prices, which have fallen to 2 1/2 year lows after the International Energy Agency slashed its oildemand growth forecast for this year by more than a fifth. On Wednesday, November crude in New York was six cents lower at US$81.78 a barrel. The TSX energy sector has been the major weight on the Toronto market, plunging 19 per cent over the last month. It was down another 0.57 per cent Wednesday. The sell-off on markets is also taking place amid a number of other concerns, including the end this month of the Federal Reserve’s latest round of quantitative easing, the program of massive bond purchases that has kept long-term rates low and fuelled a rally on stock markets over the last few years. The state of the European economy has also depressed the euro and pushed the U.S. dollar higher. The higher greenback has helped depress commodity prices and raised concerns that it could weigh on the earnings of American multinationals. New York indexes have yet to close in correction territory. Still, the Dow has lost almost seven per cent since Sept. 19 while the S&P 500 has fallen just eight per cent. Both indexes had been at or close to record levels and a correction has been widely expected since there hadn’t been a retracement in three years. And now that the retracement is gaining momentum, analysts caution that the sell-off likely has a way to go. “Peak to trough, we can easily correct anywhere from eight to 13 per cent without really altering the long-term picture,” said Sid Mokhtari, a market technician at CIBC World Markets. “We’re getting closer to a good bottom. We should put things into perspective and not necessarily fear what is coming at us at this point.” The financials group was also a major weight, down 2.5 per cent amid earnings disappointments from Bank of America and U.S. lender Keycorp.

TransCanada pipeline conversion faces building pushback in Quebec BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Pushback is building in Quebec over TransCanada Corp.’s $12-billion, cross-country project to convert a natural gas pipeline to oil, just weeks before the company files its formal proposal with the national energy regulator. Quebec’s largest natural gas distributor, Gaz Metro, plans to enlist the support of the provincial government to oppose the project that it says will lead to supply shortages, higher prices and threaten Quebec’s economic growth. “The project in its current version is problematic as it will impede the possibility for natural gas users to have access to the necessary capacities once the conversion happens,” spokeswoman Marie-Christine Demers said after Gas Metro made its case last week to the province’s energy regulator. She said the company plans to push the government to intervene when the proposal goes before the National Energy Board for approval. Specifically, Gaz Metro said the conversion of the 3,300-kilometre Energy East pipeline between Alberta and Quebec will reduce the supply of natural gas for customers during peak winter months and for economic development. Energy East would be one of the biggest infrastructure projects in Canadian history, crossing six provinces and traversing 4,600 kilometres in total. Roughly two thirds of it would make use of underused natural gas pipe that’s already in the ground, with new pipe being built through Quebec and New Brunswick. The idea is to connect oilsands crude to eastern refineries and to export some of the oil by tanker. TransCanada (TSX:TRP) said the project will remove the 20 per cent excess natural gas capacity on the eastern network that is destined for export to the U.S. northeast, and it has plans

to build more lines to meet any increased demand. “We’re taking nothing away from the Canadian domestic demand,” said Karl Johannson, executive vice-president of natural gas pipelines. The Calgary-based company plans to build a parallel Eastern Mainline pipeline that will stretch for a few hundred kilometres in southern Ontario, to carry natural gas to consumers in Quebec and Ontario. “TransCanada has served the natural gas market for over 60 years...If there is growth we will make sure the facilities are there for growth.” But Gaz Metro said the pipeline section between North Bay, in northeastern Ontario, and Ottawa is now fully used by customers at peak winter periods. It also sees reduced capacity driving up costs for consumers, who would also be on the hook to absorb more than $1.5 billion in infrastructure costs to build the parallel pipeline. Ontario’s Union Gas and Enbridge Gas Distribution have also raised similar concerns about the Energy East conversion. Johannson said he understands that local natural gas distributors want to maintain surplus capacity, but that comes with costs both for natural gas customers and the unrealized economic benefits of sending 1.1 million barrels of crude oil per day to refineries in Quebec and New Brunswick. “By not repurposing this capacity, Canadians and Quebecers lose a lot,” he said in an interview. A Deloitte study said the conversion will boost the Canadian GDP by $35 billion over 20 years, add $10 billion in taxes, support 10,000 jobs and help eastern refineries. The developers of a $1.6-billion fertilizer plant in Becancour, Que., said its project — which is one year behind schedule because of its difficulty to lock up natural gas supplies — is at risk unless it can obtain a reliable supply of natural gas.

Egyptian officials say warplanes are bombing Libyan militia BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A burning overturned car stands between protesting students and riot police after it was set on fire by protesting college students outside of the Guerrero state capital building in Chilpancingo, Mexico, Monday Hundreds of protesting teachers and students demanding answers about the 43 students who went missing on Sept. 26 during a confrontation with police, clashed with police at the local congress and outside the state government palace.

Police widen search for missing students BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO

TIXTLA, Mexico — Mexican police expanded their search for 43 missing college students Wednesday after investigators determined that 28 sets of human remains recovered from a mass grave were not those of any of the youths. The government of Guerrero state, where the students went missing after a confrontation with police Sept. 26, said it was sending horse-mounted patrols and trained dogs into the hills around Iguala, the city where the students were last seen. Meanwhile, forensics examinations are focusing on a second set of clandestine graves and a third site where another burial pit was found this week. The digging that continued Wednesday threatened to reveal even greater horrors in the gang-controlled countryside. Each search has turned up more hidden graves, raising the question of how many people have been secretly killed by the area’s drug gangs, apart from those kidnapped. The wooded hillsides that ring Iguala could become a moral swamp for the government, much like the mass graves discovered in northern Mexico in 2010 that revealed a level of almost unheard-of brutality. “These lamentable acts are a moment that puts to the test the country’s institutions,” President Enrique Pena Nieto said of the Iguala case in a speech. From the beginning, there were

signs that the first mass grave site, found just a few days after the students disappeared, might have contained the bodies of earlier victims of the Guerreros Unidos drug gang. The gang had ties to the wife of Iguala Mayor Jose Luis Abarca as well as to local police from Iguala and the nearby town of Cocula. Police from the two towns allegedly turned some of the students over to the drug gang. On Wednesday, while the families of the disappeared students and a variety of social organizations met separately at the college in Tixtla, four busloads of students drove to join members of a Guerrero teachers union who took control of a highway toll facility between Chilpancingo and Acapulco. Masked protesters politely asked each driver for a 50-peso contribution — slightly less than the usual toll. Gildardo Ruiz Davila, organizing secretary for the union’s High Mountain region, said such protest actions would continue until the 43 students are returned alive. Asked about the announcement that none of the first 28 bodies found were students, he said, “If the city government had links to the drug traffickers, more bodies might appear.” Isabel Rosales, an activist who works with the families of kidnap victims in Guerrero, said the 28 bodies might be those of victims whose families were too afraid to even report their disappearances.

BENGHAZI, Libya — Egypt deepened its involvement in the fight against Islamist militias who have taken over key parts of Libya on Wednesday, with officials saying Egyptian warplanes have bombed their positions in the eastern city of Benghazi. The two officials, who have firsthand knowledge of the operation, said the use of the aircraft was part of an Egyptian-led campaign against the militiamen that will eventually involve Libyan ground troops recently trained by Egyptian forces. The operation, they said, was requested by the internationally recognized Libyan administration based in the eastern city of Tobruk. That elected administration was thrown out of the capital, Tripoli, by rival militias allied with Islamic political factions. “This is a battle for Egypt not Libya,” one of the senior officials said. “Egypt was the first country in the region to warn against terrorism and it is also the first to fight it.” The officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said the operation would last three to six months and involve the use of an Egyptian navy vessel as a command centre off the Mediterranean coast near Tobruk. Renegade Libyan general Khalifa Hiftar, who has vowed to wipe out the Islamist militias, is not leading the operation, they added, with Cairo dealing directly with a newly appointed Libyan chief of staff who has visited Egypt several times in recent weeks. In a televised statement on Tuesday, Hifter, who was an army chief under Gadhafi before joining his opponents decades ago, said that he will resign and transfer power to a young army leadership. Tobruk-based Libyan Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni told Dubaibased Sky News Arabia that all troops involved in the battles in Benghazi are under the command of the new chief of staff and are instructed to restore state institutions and combat terrorism. “After the appointment of the chief of staff for the Libyan army, all military operations are under the umbrella of the state and its military leadership,” he said. Al-Thinni met Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi during his last visit to Egypt on Oct. 9. During the visit, Egyptian Defence Minister Gen. Sedki Sobhi said that Egypt is ready to offer “all support” to the Libyan army, especially in “combating terrorism.” Libyan lawmaker Tareq al-Jorushi confirmed to the AP that Egyptian warplanes were taking part in the ongoing

operation in Benghazi, but said that they were being flown by Libyan pilots. He says the planes were “rented” by the Libyan administration from Egypt. Al-Jorushi is awaiting confirmation of his appointment on the Tobruk-based parliament’s national security committee, which is responsible for such issues. He is also the son of the head of Libya’s air force, Gen. Saqr al-Jorushi. He said he learned that the planes are Egyptian from the new chief of staff. In an official statement posted on Egypt’s state-run news agency however, presidential spokesman Alaa Youssef denied that Egyptian planes were striking targets in Libya. Libya has been mired in turmoil since Gadhafi’s ouster in 2011, with militias operating with impunity and the government unable to rein them in. In recent months, Islamist militias swept through Libya’s two main cites of Tripoli and Benghazi, defeating anti-Islamist forces, setting up their own government and reviving an old parliament. Egypt, which has publicly stated its support of the elected administration based in Tobruk, views the presence of hard-line extremists near its western border as a direct national security threat. It had made no secret of its willingness to offer military support to the Tobruk-based government, saying it would train and arm its forces. Egypt’s direct military involvement, however, reinforces the notion that Libya has become a proxy battleground for larger regional struggles, with Turkey and Qatar backing the Islamist militias while Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates support their opponents. Earlier on Wednesday, a top Islamic militia commander based in Benghazi said Egypt sent its warplanes to hit his group’s positions. “We have photographs of the Egyptian warplanes and Egyptian naval forces stationed in eastern cities,” he told the AP. He said the planes were taking off from an airport in Libya’s eastern city of Bayda. “The Egyptians are bombing us day and night and only want to seed divisions among us here,” he said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. It is unclear what Egypt’s involvement can accomplish. The Libyan army and police have been in shambles since the collapse of Gadhafi’s regime, and attempts by successive governments to disarm and integrate former rebels into the army have failed. U.S. officials confirmed in the summer that Egypt and the UAE were involved in airstrikes against militia positions in and near Tripoli. Egypt denied involvement, while the UAE said nothing publicly.

If you read between the lines, you can sense the embarrassment that Jim Prentice must’ve had to endure under a prime minister who had — and has — done next to nothing to curb carbon emissions. But he is EVAN now free to BEDFORD chart a different course and, to that end, he has promised to steer away from coal. He figures that coal — being the dirtiest fossil fuel — is the one to target if we want to get our rising CO2 output under control. And once we start to lower our CO2 output, the thought is that maybe we could revive our poor reputation in much of the rest of the world. And then maybe the Europeans, Barack Obama and those pesky environmentalists might forget that emissions from the tarsands are larger than those of any other industrial sector, including coal (according to the Alberta government’s Report on 2011 Greenhouse Gas Emissions). And they might also forget that the bitumen booster club is forecasting a doubling of production in a mere 15 years or so. And they might forget to breathe in and out, and that 1 plus 1 equals 2. Currently, coal provides about 40 per cent of our electricity generation. But the generating stations are getting older by the day, and so Prentice figures that when we decommission them, we can replace them with something cleaner (eg. wind, solar and geothermal, since Alberta has an abundance of all three). As an example, the Wabamun Generating Station, which provided about four per cent of Alberta’s electricity, was decommissioned in 2010 at the grand old age of 54 years. However, most of the other existing coal stations are quite a bit younger. The five big ones (Battle River, Sundance, Keephills, Sheerness, and Genesee) are, on average, only about

30 years old. And they collectively produce about a third of our electricity. Will Prentice start to go after them? And how fast would coal be able to be replaced by renewables? Wind currently only provides about seven per cent of our electricity … on windy days. So there are no easy answers for Prentice. However, there are three people who could give him valuable advice about how to deal with the dilemma. The first is Christy Clark, the premier of B.C., who still presides over a revenue-neutral carbon tax (the tax is seen at the gas pump, while the revenues are used to reduce personal and corporate taxes). And obviously the voters are OK with it, since they reelected her in 2013 — and increased her party’s seat count in the legislature while they were at it. The second person who could give Prentice advice was also a premier (sadly, he is no longer around). Peter Lougheed warned Albertans to slow down on the bitumen frenzy. And if Prentice really wants to show that he is serious about climate change — and if he wants to garner some sympathy from Obama for a certain pipeline, this would be an excellent step forward. Finally, Prentice would be wise to talk to Robert Roach, a senior analyst with ATB Financial. Though not nearly as famous as Clark or Lougheed, he is every bit as wise. And he just happened to write a column in these very pages a couple of weeks ago. He stressed the need to form a citizens’ assembly (look it up on Wikipedia) when Albertans finally get serious about what to do with resource revenues from the oil and gas industry. Right now, we are, as Roach put it, “spendaholics,” whereas we need to be more like the Norwegians. They started out with a similar endowment of fossil fuels but, unlike us, they knew how to save, and they now have almost a trillion dollars stashed away (which is about $180,000 for each Norwegian) (or more than 50 times as much as we have managed to stash away). But I digress. We were talking about coal generation. Therefore, just as a random sampling of Albertans (a citizens’ assembly) could make an informed recommendation subject to a provincial referendum on the subject of oil and gas revenue, a random sampling of Albertans could also make recommendations on what to do about all of the CO2 that we’re lofting into the air. Prentice seems genuinely concerned about it, and I suspect that he’s almost as smart as Lougheed was. So

Breast cancer facts that can save your life blue-wavelength light during sleep.

Fact: Know your risk We salute Angelina Jolie for going public with news that she carries the BRCA-1 gene mutation, which boosts breast-cancer risk — by 87 per cent, in her case. She then chose to have both breasts removed to protect herself from her enormous genetic risk. About 15 per cent of women who get breast cancer have a family history, and one in 300500 women in the general population carries one of the breast-cancer genes, BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 (rates are higher in some groups, such as Ashkenazi Jews). Look at your family tree for warning signs: Did anyone have cancer before age 50, breast cancer in both breasts, ovarian cancer or male breast cancer? Knowing the answers can help you and your doctor

DRS. OZ AND ROIZEN

Fact: Women over 40 do need mammograms We’ve read headline-grabbing studies suggesting that mammograms aren’t worth it before age 50. But we and groups like the American Cancer Society and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network believe yearly screening should begin at age 40. (Younger if you’re at high risk.) Some research shows this check can cut cancer deaths by 15 per cent in 40-something women. Bottom line: Don’t opt out if you’re in your 40s (one in five women with breast cancer is younger than 50). And make sure to get regular mammograms in your 50s and beyond. Women of all ages also need regular clinical breast exams, performed by their health-care provider. Self-checks are smart, too. Up to 40 per cent of cancers are discovered by women themselves.

Fact: Cancer-preventing tamoxifen needs dark nights If you have hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer and take tamoxifen, a selective estrogen response modifier, you know that this drug can cut your relative risk for repeat breast cancer by as much as 50 per cent. Now, a Tulane University lab study suggests that your sleep environment might impact this medication’s effectiveness. Seems even dim light at night reduces your body’s melatonin levels, making breast cancer cells resistant to tamoxifen. Bottom line: The researchers suggest taking tamoxifen an hour or so before bedtime to take advantage of the natural increase in melatonin at night. Also, wear an eye mask or only have red-wavelength light in your bedroom and bathroom to block out

What it takes to stay committed to your health Real commitment doesn’t always have to be about sacrifice — or does it? When it comes to your health, where do we draw the line between having our cake and eating it, too, to avoid the self-defeating behaviour of not allowing ourselves certain indulgences? And when should we hold true to a commitment to our health and our well-being and ensure our bodies are getting the best KRISTIN treatment possible — no sugFRASER ar, no alcohol, no processed foods? According to the turkey farmers of Canada, 3.1 million whole turkeys are purchased at Thanksgiving countrywide. That tells me there is also a whole lot of pumpkin pie with whipped cream to go with it. And don’t forget the fixings and the alcohol! So should we convince ourselves to enjoy guilt free and allow these times of sacrifice to let loose, enjoy … not be too hard on ourselves? Or is that just an excuse to indulge in our inherent over-consuming nature that leads us ultimately to feeling bloated, fatigued and feeling the need to shed some weight? Is there another way to stay committed to our health goals? We could implement some healthier alternatives. A raw pumpkin cheesecake on a chocolate pecan crust with coconut whipped cream and an additional fall harvest salad including wild rice with black beans, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh herbs with some crushed walnuts and dried cranberries. Getting in some nature time with the family — something active. But for some, who are we kidding? When we want to indulge we will indulge! The choice is ultimately yours. Either way, postThanksgiving is always a good time to recommit — no matter what your track record of failures. And remember you cannot make a real commitment unless you accept that it’s a choice that you keep making again and again and again. Here are some thoughts on what it takes to get stay committed. ● Ask yourself what results you are looking for. What is your desired outcome? Write it down. ● Now ask yourself what action steps it will take to get there. Reflect on your behaviours and which ones you deem appropriate and inappropriate to stay in line with your commitments. The bottom line is to stay accountable to your actions. Be flexible in the journey to achieve your results and ask yourself how deeply you desire the desired result. The deeper the desire, the more committed you will be. ● Finally, post it! Don’t post the desired outcome, just post the action steps. Look at your calendar and see where you are fitting it in.

decide if you would benefit from genetic testing. Bottom line: Determine if you have a familial risk. But remember, 85 per cent of breast cancers are not caused by an inherited gene. That’s why regular mammograms are so important!

Fact: You may not need a double mastectomy In many situations, removing a healthy breast might not be necessary. A new Cancer Prevention Institute of California study found that for many women with early-stage breast cancer in one breast, removing both might not be the smart move. Less-invasive treatments turn out to produce the same survival rates, and risk for cancer in the healthy breast is low. Bottom line: If you have cancer in one breast and are thinking about a double mastectomy, talk with your doctor so you can weigh your risks and benefits.

When it comes to diagnosing and treating breast cancer, enormous strides have been made in the past two decades. Earlier detection plus better therapies and gene-typing of cancers allow much more directed and effective therapies. As a result, breast cancer deaths have been slashed by 30 per cent. But there’s still a lot of misinformation out there about how to control your risk. For example, there are claims bouncing around the Internet that wearing a bra can lead to breast cancer. Nope! A definitive new study of 1,044 women with breast cancer found no link between use of a bra and their cancer risk. The type of bra, when they started wearing a bra and how many hours a day they wore one didn’t matter either. So if you’re one of the almost 300,000 North American women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, here are the latest facts that actually might save your life.

Do not neglect to plan or you will be chasing this goal for what seems like forever.

You do abs first during your workout Next, you also must make sure you are structuring your workout properly.

The next critical error not to make is falling off the wagon during the weekend. So many people make this mistake. They’re on 100 per cent during the week but as soon as Friday night hits, it’s anybody’s guess how well they do on their diet and any workouts they have scheduled. Striving to get abs is a very intense goal that will take total commitment. This means being on 24/7. While it’s fine to have planned cheat meals, don’t let every weekend become cheat meal territory.

Finally, the last error to make sure you avoid is the fat-burner mistake. Some people pick up the latest and greatest fat burner, thinking this will help them get from point A to point B in a hurry. Remember, these products only work if you also have a good diet and workout in place. Otherwise they’re pretty much for waste. Don’t rely on them to get you results. Use them to help compliment your already smart diet and workout program. Are you making any of these errors? If so, it’s time to get some changes in place so they don’t keep you from realizing success. Cabel McElderry is a local personal trainer and nutrition coach.

Flanagan honoured for wartime tale BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INES M A X E NTARY PRINCE E M U C DO S OF RY C I T I L O THE P MARC EME OF POT Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘Citizen Marc,’ a documentary about Canadian pot activist Marc Emery, is screening in select cities across Canada in October. for years. The duo filmed him on a regular basis beginning in 2006. It came as a surprise to the filmmakers that Emery, often associated with left-wing politics, actually holds libertarian views that skew conservative. As a child growing up in London, Ont., he became enamoured with capitalism and launched his own stamptrading business that often saw him making more money than his father. When he was a teenager, he opened a bookstore called City Lights Bookshop. He eventually discovered the writings of Ayn Rand and applied her philosophy to his life. He would later run for the Libertarian Party of Canada in the 1980 federal election. “That was really interesting,” said Tomc. “When we realized the underlying structure of the political landscape that he was promoting, certainly for me, that was a place where I was like, ‘Whoa. This is a story to tell.”’ Emery initially devoted his energies to several different causes. While in London, he waged a number of battles against the government — defying Ontario’s Sunday shopping laws and selling banned records in his store. It was only after a brief and ill-fated move to India that he relocated to Vancouver and found a new cause: marijuana legalization. As he says in the documentary, he was looking for “a revolution that pays for itself,” one where he could make money to be poured back into activism. His Vancouver store and seed business turned out to be the perfect fit. He devoted most of the

proceeds to legalization efforts, said Tomc. “It’s a kind of paradoxical situation where a person’s narcissism or ego is being fed by his generosity towards others,” she said with a laugh. Emery also reveals in the film that he believes his future was foretold by a prophecy delivered by a woman who slipped outside his bookstore when he was 19. She told him that while she was in a coma in hospital, she saw three symbols that would define his life — a dollar sign, a brain and a leaf. Citizen Marc strikes a delicate balance between portraying Emery as a celebrity-seeker but also questioning whether his performance has generated meaningful political change. Larry said he personally believes Emery’s arrest was political. “Many people were selling seeds from Canada who never were hassled by the Americans, but none of them were taking all the profits and using it to take on the U.S. government,” he said. While Emery was imprisoned, marijuana was legalized in Washington and Colorado. Larry also credits Emery with changing the landscape in Canada, where marijuana is not decriminalized but police attitudes toward pot-smoking have seemingly relaxed. “We wanted to unlock the mystery of his effectiveness, of why he was an effective activist. We live in an age where the status quo seems both untenable yet unchangeable,” said Larry. “We felt an obligation to try to understand why he had been so successful.”

BRIEF

LONDON — Australian literature-lovers cheered Wednesday after Richard Flanagan won the prestigious Booker Prize with a visceral story of wartime brutality and its aftermath — a novel the head of the judging team said was as powerful as a kick in the stomach. The country’s government may be less pleased. Flanagan in a post-awards interview that Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s environmental policies made him “ashamed to be Australian.” Flanagan drew on his father’s experiences as a Second World War prisoner of the Japanese for The Narrow Road to the Deep North, which centres on the Burma Death Railway, built with forced labour at the cost of tens of thousands of lives. Named after a classic work of Japanese literature, the book is dedicated to Flanagan’s father — referred to by his prisoner number, 335 — who died at the age of 98 shortly after his son finished the manuscript. Flanagan said that he and his five siblings grew up “children of the Death Railway. We carried in consequence many incommunicable things.” “I realized at a certain point if I was to continue writing I would have to write this book,” said Flanagan, whose credits include five previous novels and work on the screenplay to Baz Luhrman’s Australia. Flanagan said he had written five failed versions of the novel over 12 years, and burned them all. He said the finished book was not his father’s story, “because that would have been a failure. ... He trusted me to write a book that might be true.” Philosopher A.C. Grayling, who chaired the panel of judges, praised the “profoundly intelligent humanity” and “excoriating” descriptions of suffering in Flanagan’s novel. Greyling said it was “the sort of book that kicks you so hard in the stomach” that it is difficult to move on. Flanagan, 53, was given his trophy and 50,000 pound ($80,000) winner’s check by Prince Charles’ wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, after a black-tie dinner in London’s medieval Guildhall. He greeted the royal with a protocol-busting hug. “Well, she seemed a sweet woman and she was very nice,” Flanagan said. In a BBC interview, Flanagan was asked about Abbott’s recent comment that “coal is good for humanity.” He said he felt the government was “committed to destroying” Australia’s unique environment. “To be frank, I’m ashamed to be Australian when you bring this up,” Flanagan said. Flanagan is the third Australian Booker winner, after Thomas Keneally and Peter Carey, and his victory disappointed those who hoped to see an American win in the first year U.S. authors are eligible. This was the first year writers of all nationalities have been eligible for the Booker, previously open only to authors from Britain, Ireland and the Commonwealth of dozens of former British colonies, including Australia.

TORONTO — Marc Emery is often hailed as the Prince of Pot, a beloved champion of marijuana legalization and Canadian sovereignty. But in Citizen Marc, the famed activist is portrayed as an ambiguous figure, driven as much by a quest for celebrity and libertarian politics as he is by principle. “There’s no question that Emery loves getting attention, yet there’s also the question that he’s politically effective as an activist,” said director Roger Evan Larry, who co-wrote the film with Sandra Tomc. “We leave it to the viewer to parse that out.” The often comedic and surprising documentary is screening in select cities across Canada in October. Larry and Tomc will be joining audiences for some showings, including an event Thursday in Toronto. Citizen Marc tells the story of Emery’s life up until his incarceration in a U.S. federal penitentiary in 2010 for selling cannabis seeds. He was released and returned to Vancouver earlier this year. “He sacrificed incredibly. Love him or hate him, he’s put his ass on the line for the cause and he’s taken a hit. Five years in a U.S. penitentiary, it was no cakewalk,” said Larry. Tomc and Larry — who also collaborated on the 2007 drama Crossing and 1996’s Gemini-nominated Tested — initially took an interest in Emery because they wanted a complex subject they could follow
