OTTAWA SHOOTING

MPs ‘running on adrenalin’ after shots fired: Dreeshen

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF When they began to realize it was gunshots they were hearing just outside in the hallway, Red Deer MP Earl Dreeshen and fellow Conservative members quickly began to take defensive action.

Dreeshen, speaking on Thursday about the previous MORE COVERAGE OF day’s dramatic attack and kill- THE SHOOTING A3 ings in Ottawa, said at first he thought the noise outside their caucus meeting room in the House of Commons was construction.

At that point, caucus members had no idea that a man had just shot 24-year-old Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial, minutes away from the Parliament Buildings Centre Block where the House of Commons is located. “(Construction) is going on all the time around here so you don’t really think too much of that. But then we heard some people yelling, so that kind of caught your attention. Then shots were being fired.�

Dreeshen, 61, lives on a farm in Central Alberta.

He knows the sound of gunshots. “Then more shots and more yelling, so you know something was happening.� “At that stage we went into a defensive position.

We took chairs to barricade doors, we made sure people were away from the doors in case someone was coming through them. We were all part of it. “I was a school teacher for many years and we’ve always gone through drills for intruders, and what I could I see we were following all of the proper things. “We have many people who have military and law enforcement experience who are (caucus) members. ... Therefore you know what they were doing was right. At least I knew that that was what we were supposed to be doing, and yeah, so from that perspective we were doing something that we felt was going to help our colleagues.� “It was instinctual� Dreeshen said. “You were running on adrenalin. ... So that was kind of the first part. ... Once the shooting had stopped, of course we had no communication with the outside world until we were starting to get a few emails. That was when we heard that someone had been shot at the War Memorial.�

Shelter seeking cash from city for emergency response plan

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Safe Harbour predicts a busier winter season at its homeless shelters.

Stacey Carmichael, director of programs with Central Alberta’s Safe Harbour Society for Health and Housing, said shelters were full last winter and over the summer.

On Monday, Safe Harbour is requesting $32,427 from city council to accommodate an additional 11 people at People’s Place shelter from Nov. 1 to the end of April as

part of its winter emergency response plan.

People’s Place has 35 beds with space for 11 mats on the floor. “We’ve been turning folks away nightly. I’m not convinced the 11 will be quite enough. But we’ll work with our community partners to try to avoid folks from having to sleep outside,� Carmichael said on Thursday.

As it did last year, Safe Harbour is requesting city funding to hire another worker at People’s Place for the winter.

Safe Harbour’s Mat program also operates with 26 mats for homeless who are intoxicated or high.

Carmichael said a housing

bottleneck in Red Deer prevents many of the homeless from finding permanent housing. “We have people who are ready to move on into housing. They’ve been attached to appropriate programs that can provide them with the support to be successful in housing. They just can’t find housing.�

She said with low vacancy rates and the high cost of rent, Red Deer is not a typical mid-sized community. Its housing challenges are more comparable to large centres like Calgary and Edmonton.

Winnipeg man says he chopped roommate’s body into pieces because he was scared STORIES FROM PAGE A1

CONCUSSION: Each one presents unique issues Lindsay Thurber student Cody Miner was overwhelmed with returning to school after he suffered a concussion in hockey and then another in basketball three months later.

“Concentration was a lot harder,” agreed Miner.

“Simple things like a light flickering in a class would give me headaches and I couldn’t concentrate at all.

I had trouble reading what was on the board and I had to get a pair of light reading classes for me to be actually able to read.”

For Lindsay Thurber student Lucas Walker, after suffering two concussions in hockey and one in football in a year’s time, returning to school was not even an option.

“Nauseous and headaches — everything was too loud, and busy,” said Walker. 16. “It just felt like I was dreaming or something. I wasn’t really in reality.

I just was kind of dreaming and out of it. I wasn’t really myself at all.”

Although concussions are unique to each individual, students commonly struggle with noise, fluorescent lights, physical activity, concentration and mental fatigue. Academic testing also shows that students suffering from post-concussion syndrome struggle with focus, concentration, short-term memory, math and processing speed issues.

Every concussion presents a unique set of academic issues.

“The memory loss was the hardest because I was always really good at remembering formulas, but when I had to do science and math it was really frustrating because I couldn’t remember anything we did the day before,” explained Dunbar, 16. “I could only concentrate for five minutes and then my brain would think about something else or shut down completely.”

In an ideal world, students would not return to school until they are symptom free.

“It (returning to school too early) puts extra strain on the brain,” said Red Deer College instructor and concussion researcher Elena Antoniadis at recent concussion workshop.

“The brain is not ready to work yet. The brain needs to recuperate, to restore the ionic balance: the potassium, sodium and calcium. Until that occurs, it is really difficult to put the child back in the classroom, doing all that work and concentrating. Do not allow a child to return to the classroom until they are fully recovered!”

After his third concussion in 15 months, Hunting Hills High School student Blake Stillings returned to school too early and found the experience overwhelming.

“We were doing the hardest academic class, which was math,” said Stillings. “I remember having to leave the class to even do worksheets, anything.

I couldn’t concentrate. It was totally stereotypical about what they tell you about concussions. The lights were terrible, couldn’t focus, I couldn’t think, I couldn’t wrap my head around the equations, especially algebra. Oh my gosh, I couldn’t do it ... I was wearing sunglasses inside the school.”

Stilling’s parents soon decided that there are more important things than education.

“We were still thinking how important education is,” explained Stillings’ mother Kahlanie. “It is important ... but for right now in this moment it is not helping him. You can always go and get education.”

Most students with mild traumatic brain injuries find that when they return to school, their grades drop by 10 to 15 per cent.

“I went from having 85s to 90s down to 70s,” explained Miner. “It dropped my marks by a good 10 to 15 per cent. It wasn’t a normal thing for me. I was used to getting those higher marks. It was something that happened that I couldn’t really control.”

There are a number of ways, however, that schools can assist students in their return.

Schools need to limit the return to one class ini-

WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg man says he chopped his roommate’s body into pieces and scattered the parts around town because he panicked after discovering him dead.

Emery McLeod, 40, took the witness stand in his own defence Thursday.

He denied killing 42-year-old Darin Monias and said he got scared when he found him dead following a weekend filled with drugs and hard liquor in February 2012.

McLeod has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.

Crown attorney Brian Bell grilled McLeod, point-

Baseline testing takes the guesswork away

BY DOUG ROWE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE There is no magic wand to alleviate the symptoms of post-concussion syndrome.

But Red Deer College psychology instructor and concussion researcher Elena Antoniadis feels that she has the key to help guide the mild traumatic brain injured back to recovery.

Antoniadis received a government grant that allows her to do free baseline testing on athletes.

This kind of testing in the private sector usually costs $40 to $80.

Baseline testing is a computerized assessment of reaction time, memory capacity, speed of mental processing, and executive functioning of the brain.

Optimally, all athletes in contact sports would receive baseline testing. If they then suffer a concussion, they can be tested again to see if they are suffering from post-concussion syndrome.

“It takes the guesswork away from everyone,” explained Antoniadis. “We might say he looks fine, he says he is fine, let’s let him play. This baseline is a good barometer on how this person performs and then you can see if there is any impairment. ... It takes the guesswork away from the parent, the coach.”

Angela Walker, whose son Lucas had three concussions in a year, one from football and two from

tially and as the student get stronger, add in classes until the student can handle a regular schedule.

Modifying the workload and content also keeps students from getting overwhelmed.

Students may also need to reduce stimuli by wearing sunglasses and sound-dampening headphones in class. Allowing students to leave class early to avoid noise and congestion between classes also helps them to manage their days better.

Stress is one of the biggest triggers of post-concussion symptoms. The stress from an exam can create huge anxiety, headaches and brain fog in students with mild traumatic brain injuries (MTBI). Allowing them to write their exams in a quiet setting away from distractions will help them cope and achieve better grades. Giving them extra time on exams also helps them to relax and better access their shortterm memory.

When students are having a bad day in class, allowing them to retreat to a quiet setting will help them cope with their symptoms. Having ice packs available for their necks will also help them slow down their symptomology.

Miner, Walker and Stillings had their Grade 9 years waived by administration, were allowed to bypass their provincial achievements tests (PATs), and were placed in Grade 10 based on their pre-concussion grades.

“The school was great, they were really supportive,” said Miner. “Lots of the teachers understood. I was in Grade 9 when my first concussion happened.

I had to write my PAs ... you have to write them by government standards but the school was willing to take zeros for me on those tests, which didn’t reflect poorly on me but more on the school than anything.”

Dunbar, who had her concussion in first semester of Grade 10, went down to two subjects, dropping two others. In Grade 11, the school waived her prerequisites, allowing her to take both subjects at the next level.

For Kahlanie Stillings, having the school recognize what is going on and supporting her son has been crucial in his recovery.

“Most of the people we see in our shelters are from Red Deer and Central Alberta.”

And a growing number of those at People’s Place are over age 50 and often come with health issues, Carmichael said.

The Youth Winter Inn, operated by the Red Deer Youth and Volunteer Centre, opens on Nov. 3 and will run until April 30 with seven mats for youth age 14 to 17.

Program manager Rose Hatfield said last winter, 46 teens used the shelter 303 times.

Central Alberta Child and Family Services Authority provided $65,000 to fund the program.

As always, Safe Harbour and the Youth and Volunteer Centre are collecting donations of winter clothing like long underwear, socks, and mitts for clients.

Hatfield said donations of snacks and personal grooming items would also be helpful.

hockey, wishes she would have had her son tested.

“Had we even known that was available, now in hindsight I would tell every single person who has children in sports to get the baseline done,” advised Walker.

After experiencing a mild traumatic brain injury, Antoniadis feels that an athlete should take the time to recover properly.

“We have to allow the player to recuperate, and recuperate means let them stay in a room that is dark, away from noise, no computer, TV screen time, stop texting, just recuperate. Stop activity that will force them to process and engage.”

Antoniadis feels that athletes should not return to school or athletics until they are asymptomatic (symptom-free). The baseline testing can be used to assess whether an athlete is ready to return.

“You have to wait until the child is asymptomatic. If you don’t, it will delay the recovery, because the brain really needs to rest. It will take a lot of adjustment to get the educators, parents, coaches — everybody has to get on board.

“Even if it is invisible, it is there. That mindframe has to change.”

Any coaches or parents who want to have their children or athletes baseline tested can contact Antoniadis at 403-314-2448 or email Elena.Antoniadis@rdc.ab.ca.

Parliamentarians show unity Gunman a homeless in aftermath of shooting Paulson also confirmed that Vickers directly engaged the assailant in a gun battle in Parliament’s Hall of Honour, each shooting from behind polished marble pillars as other security officials unleashed a hail of gunfire.

The attack took place directly outside the unlocked wooden doors of meeting rooms where Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair were addressing their respective caucuses.

Harper holed up in a closet for several minutes while the mayhem continued outside, and some of his Conservative MPs brandished flagpoles as spears expecting an imminent intrusion by armed attackers.

Across the hall, a guard in the NDP meeting room stood spread-eagled across the double doors to the hall. His heroics were fortunately not needed, but a bullet hole in one door showed how close was the call.

In response, Thursday morning’s parliamentary sitting had an emotional, almost “triumphant” tenor — a term used by Justice Minister Peter MacKay. The 300-plus MPs bursts into a spontaneous rendition of O Canada after Speaker Andrew Scheer blessed the gathering with a prayer for “wisdom, knowledge and understanding.”

House Speaker orders Hill security review

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer has ordered a full review of Parliament Hill security after Wednesday’s deadly shootout in the halls of the Centre Block.

Parliamentary systems and procedures will be examined to identify any needed improvements, Scheer said Thursday.

Michael Zehaf Bibeau was fatally shot in the Parliament Buildings on Wednesday after killing a soldier at the nearby National War Memorial — an incident that shook Ottawa and resulted in a lockdown of the downtown core for much of the day.

“Members will ask — indeed Canadians will ask — how this came to occur and what specifically will be done to prevent future occurrences,” Scheer said. “These are legitimate questions and they require comprehensive answers.”

Scheer said he would work with all members of Parliament “to ensure that the House obtains answers to these vital and important questions.”

Parliament was closed to visitors Thursday, and tours were cancelled, he noted.

“However, I have stressed that these must be temporary measures,” Scheer said to applause from his fellow MPs. “Parliament must remain an institution that is both open and secure.”

STORY FROM PAGE A1

DREESHEN: Didn’t get much sleep Wednesday night The shooting that Dreeshen and fellow MPs heard turned out to be between House of Commons security staff and the gunman, since identified as Michael Zehaf Bibeau.

Kevin Vickers, the sergeant-atarms of the House of Commons, is being hailed as hero for helping shoot the lone gunman. Zehaf Bibeau had rushed to the Centre Block after killing Cirillo at the National War Memorial.

After the shooting in the Centre Block stopped, “Then somebody knocked on the door and said they were RCMP but we wanted proof,” Dreeshen said, chuckling a little bit.

“Shortly after that, security did come in and they told us what had happened. ... We had put up a TV feed so we were hearing what was happening outside. Of course, anything coming by the media was all speculation. We had a different concept of some of the emergency but nevertheless I think more than ever we weren’t really thinking about ourselves there, it was just this horrendous act that had just taken place at the War Memorial.

“Once we found out that had happened, we were locked down for 10 hours.

“First of all, right in front of us was a crime scene.

“Beyond that, each and every one of the rooms in all of Parliament had to be checked. They were not going to have people wandering around and leaving in any kind of a disorderly fashion. And of course all of our offices were also locked down, even my office here in Confeds (Confederation building).”

The ordeal began just before 10 a.m. and Dreeshen was out of lockdown at 8 p.m. (Ottawa times).

Soon after the shooting, Vickers did address them, said Dreeshen.

“You know ... he had done his job.

So many people look at it as a ceremonial position you know as a sergeantat-arms ... that is his responsibility.

“Quite frankly, someone who is going to come in and barge through a door, is going to come in with a gun, you know the person who was trying to stop him did his part.”

A national security expert said he expects there will be permanent steps to tighten parliamentary security.

“The Hill will become a less friendly and open place,” said Wesley Wark, a historian who teaches at the University of Ottawa.

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson also said Thursday that the Mounties would now provide round-the-clock personal security for the prime minister in the wake of the siege, which saw Stephen Harper spend several minutes holed up inside the Conservative caucus room, unguarded.

Surveillance video of Zehaf Bibeau’s quick entry to the Hill on foot and subsequent carjacking of a vehicle that he drove to the Centre Block will help the RCMP determine “the measures that we need to take now to make the parliamentary precinct more secure,” Paulson told a news conference.

“The security picture on Parliament Hill needs to be evaluated.”

During question period, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair sought assurances on behalf of Canadians that the parliamentary grounds would “remain an open place for them.”

Harper said the government has traditionally ensured a balance between security and freedom.

The prime minister added the government was looking at options under the law to “strengthen the ability to surveil, detain and arrest individuals” who pose threats.

When asked how he could have prepared for something like this, Dreeshen said: “That’s the difficult thing. These are Canadians who are doing this to our country and to our fellow Canadians. So we will have to look into in the future and make sure that we continue to be vigilant and kind of go from there.

“We spent a long time together yesterday, and to be able comfort each other and to be able to think our way through about some of the issues that had been presented to us, presented as a nation. ...

“The prime minister spoke with us in later in the evening after he had made his address. People from all political parties were there so we know that we have to work together on this, all parliamentarians.

“It’s something that we will do, and we don’t need to inflame the rhetoric, we just have to get down to work and make sure we do what we have to.”

Dreeshen was glad to be back to work on Thursday.

“This morning the prime minister was there at the War Memorial to lay a wreath and we all came together. Our main focal point was the sergeant-atarms Vickers.

“For those of us who were aware of the situation, we understand just how important he is to all of our security.”

Dreeshen said it is unfortunate that it doesn’t get reported very often that all members of Parliament “actually all do work together in the House of Commons.

“Things like this do bring people together. There always has been a lot more positiveness ... than sometimes the media suggests.

“I’m OK. I’m OK. You know, I didn’t sleep very much (Wednesday) night but I feel there are so many people who had sent messages to my staff and via email and text. Unfortunately my Blackberry went dead,” he said laughing.

“So anyway, I know that there were a lot of people who were supportive of myself as an individual but also of our nation. That’s made me feel very good, so we’ll just continue on from there.”

Dreeshen was able to reach his wife, Judy, when he was in lockdown.

“That was the best part. From that at least she knew that we were safe.”

As for the long-term impact of the shooting: “I don’t really have an answer for that that I want to present right now. I think it’s important that we realize Canada is standing together as a nation, and that we will be strong and we won’t be intimidated. That would be my message.” barr@reddeeradvocate.com

drug addict ANGRY ABOUT PASSPORT

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The man who killed a soldier at the National War Memorial was angry about failing to get a passport and struggled with drug addiction, say those who knew him at the men’s shelters where he spent his final weeks.

Michael Zehaf Bibeau so angered some of the men at the Ottawa Mission because of his complaints about Canada that there was almost a fight in recent days, said Norman LeBlanc, a 60-year-old former truck driver who frequents the shelter.

“He went on for more than an hour about how much this country sucked and how he wanted to get out of here, and he was furious about the passport,” LeBlanc said Thursday outside the mission. “That made a lot of the others guys mad, and they were going to take him out back and give him a beating.”

Hours after the shooting police descended upon the mission, removing a hockey bag from Zehaf Bibeau’s locker that was so heavy it required two men to haul it outside into an armoured vehicle, LeBlanc added.

Police refused to elaborate on the contents of the bag.

Zehaf Bibeau often prayed with two Somali men in the shelter in an eastfacing window in accordance with the Muslim faith, LeBlanc said.

One of them, Abdel Kareem Abubakrr, denied his new friend’s actions had anything to do with his faith.

“He was a crackhead, I think,” he said.

Zehaf Bibeau’s mother, Susan Bibeau, released a statement on Thursday apologizing for her son’s actions.

“I know individual security agencies will also be looking very carefully at the events of yesterday to determine what else has to be done.”

The Conservatives were already poised to introduce changes to the law governing Canada’s spy service before the shooting.

The proposed amendments would give the Canadian Security Intelligence Service more power to track terror suspects abroad and provide blanket identity protection for the agency’s human sources.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper told the Commons the changes CENTRAL ALBERTA would be “expedited” but there was no indiSEXUAL ASSAULT SUPPORT CENTRE cation as to when a bill would be introduced.

OTTAWA — Peace, order and good government returned to the national capital Thursday with a back-slapping flourish of fortitude and common purpose, but a persistent shadow loomed — one of unsettling memories and unanswered questions.

An almost triumphal sense of camaraderie in the House of Commons was burdened by mourning for the loss of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo — the honour guard gunned down at the National War Memorial a day earlier — and by a sobering reality: Canada’s seat of government had been undermined by a lone, mentally unstable homeless man with a rifle.

“It is disheartening and frightening to anyone — police included — when a senseless act of violence takes place in Canada,” RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said at an afternoon news conference.

The many security vulnerabilities exposed by the incident were secondary this day, however, to shock and relief that more lives were not lost.

Kevin Vickers, the sergeant-at-arms of the House of Commons, entered the green-carpeted chamber to thunderous applause — less than 24 hours after he

was credited with helping shoot dead the gunman bent on murderous rampage just down the marbled hall.

Vickers, his mouth a tight line, appeared to blink back tears under a cascade of continuous applause as he carried the ceremonial mace into the House to open the day’s proceedings.

After more than two long minutes, the tribute ended with MPs thumping their desks.

Security footage made public Thursday reveals the path of gunman Michael Zehaf Bibeau — a man known to police through a petty criminal record — as he commandeered a cabinet minister’s idling car on Parliament Hill and drove it up to the Centre Block’s front doors, RCMP vehicles in hot pursuit.

But what prompted him to shoot Cpl. Cirillo with a Winchester 30-30 lever action rifle and then turn his sites on Parliament Hill remains a mystery.

Zehaf Bibeau had recently come to Ottawa seeking a passport in order to travel to Syria, according to the RCMP, but he was not on any watch list and his passport application had not yet been officially denied.

“We have not come to ground completely for his motivations on this attack,” said Paulson. “But clearly it’s linked to his radicalization; clearly it’s linked to his difficult circumstances.”

FRIDAY, OCT. 24, 2014

The heart of darkness YOUR WORLD SPEEDS UP WHEN FEAR COMES CALLING IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD When fear invades your neighbourhood, it announces itself in a swirl of sirens and emergency vehicles screaming down Rideau Street, a report of a fallen soldier and a knot in your stomach.

Your world speeds up, even as you weave your way through the downtown denizens laconically shuffling along the sidewalk, oblivious to this invasion.

It sweeps you along in confusion toward unfurling yellow police tape, flashing red lights, unsheathed automatic weapons and an inner dread that there is an unseen danger TIM about you.

HARPER Then reality, the stories, the enormity of the events come at you at the corner of Sussex Drive, the first-hand accounts of peril, only minutes old, coming at you in staccato bursts, like the bursts of gunshots that appeared to come in waves of 10.

The international headlines will tell you Terror comes to Canada, the national headlines will scream Terror comes to Ottawa, but Wednesday morning, terror came to my neighbourhood.

Witnesses — people you know because this is, after all, your neighbourhood and you share it daily with these people — tell you tales of hearing 10 shots, then another will tell you 20 and another tells you at least 30.

Had Ottawa lost its innocence?

Anyone who works on Parliament Hill knows that anyone could storm this building if they wanted to, particularly if they had little interest in exiting alive.

This is not the wide open drop-in Parliament of the more naïve time decades ago when I first arrived here, but it is still the kind of place where you greet the guards like old friends, you stop and chat outside Centre Block with MPs, senators or political staffers, and you know you work in a special place, where tourists flock, but it feels like your neighbourhood.

But was it innocent to never imagine that someone would have the cowardice to gun down an unarmed young father, 24-year-old Cpl. Nathan Cirillo of Hamilton, a member of that city’s Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, a sentry guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?

The War Memorial is my daily shortcut to my office and the sentries are there every morning, unmoving, unremarked upon, part of the Ottawa background like the Peace Tower clock that looms and acts as my daily time check.

Was it innocent to think initially, as Liberal MP John McKay did, that the gunshots he heard was more construction noise, the background rat-ta-tattat that is part of the daily soundtrack in the parliamentary precinct?

It was only after he was able to flee and was joined by a woman from the Library of Parliament that he heard from her the words that still chill: “A guy was walking down the Hall of Honour with a rifle.”

Was it innocent to think the Hall of Honour, an iconic Canadian meeting place, where governments and opposition plot strategy, visiting dignitaries are met on a red carpet, political leaders have lain in

INSIGHT

state, where the giant Christmas tree sits every year dazzling visitors and children at annual parties, could never become the scene of a gun battle, as it was so dramatically captured by Globe and Mail reporter Josh Wingrove?

Others knew what they were dealing with.

“Gunshots. You knew. You could feel it in your gut,” said Collin Lafrance, a manager of the Parliamentary Press Gallery.

There were decisions to be made in a moment and they could have meant life or death.

Stay and barricade yourself in an office or flee?

Some froze, some panicked, one woman kicked out a screen in her office window and was prepared to jump 10 metres.

But according to Joshua Johnston, the co-owner of an Ottawa stone masonry company working on Parliament Hill, people remained calm as he helped shepherd as many as 25 to safety, hiding behind monuments behind the building, then, when given the police go-ahead, sprinting east down Wellington Street past police with automatic weapons cocked.

“Some people didn’t want to listen to me and I didn’t blame them,” Johnston said.

“Some were panicked. Some were older and moving very slowly. But most were calm. We kept them covered and away from windows. But we had no idea who we were dealing with, how many we were dealing with, where he or they might be.”

Why did they finally listen to him?

“I’m a prick. I’ve been a foreman for 23 years,” he said.

As they huddled along the stonework at the east end of Ottawa’s historic Chateau Laurier — “I’m

never going to smoke again,” said one construction worker panting and laughing — Jim Botting told how they were able to take construction materials at hand and build a rough scaffold for the woman who would have jumped, so she could climb out.

“An officer with a gun led us to Wellington Street and told us to run,” he said.

There were the sounds in the neighbourhood one never expected to hear: “Move back, there is an active shooter and you are in range.”

“Move — if you can see the Parliament buildings, you are a target.”

For hours, we were led to believe there was another shooter at large.

It got eerily quiet in the afternoon and you found yourself peering at rooftops as paramedics sat waiting a couple of blocks away. There was an unsubstantiated report of another shooting near the downtown Rideau Centre. A woman in my building half-opened her door in fear when she heard me in the hallway, asking if I had any information about a gunman in the neighbourhood.

People across the country were being asked to be vigilant. Members of the military were told not to wear their uniforms off base.

I’d like to think that the neighbourhood will be back, that the shortcut across the War Memorial will be routine and the greetings of the security guards will be the same.

But once fear invades the neighbourhood, it feels like it will never be the same again.

The day that didn’t change Canada

BY PETER STOCKLAND SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Toronto Liberal MP John McKay was, at that moment, the admirable embodiment of the honest politicians who lead us.

“That is an excellent question,” he said. “I have absolutely no idea what the answer is.”

We were standing at the corner of Metcalfe and Albert streets in Ottawa, a few hundred metres south of where a gunman was shot dead in the Hall of Honour of Canada’s Parliament and a few blocks west of the War Memorial, where Hamilton-based soldier Nathan Cirillo had just been murdered by that same gunman.

The question put to McKay was the obvious ambient mystery of the day: how on earth, after killing Cirillo in broad daylight, could that gunman have made his way onto Parliament Hill carrying a loaded long gun, then gotten past parliamentary security into the building itself?

Because of the location of the Liberals’ weekly caucus meeting room, McKay and his colleagues were able to exit the building, unlike their Conservative and New Democrat counterparts who barricaded themselves inside rooms that flank the entrance hallway where the shooting occurred.

He was close enough, though, to

hear the “pop, pop, pop” of gunfire — “more than three, fewer than 10” — which he thought was the sound of construction work before he was ordered to dive for cover.

And, having made his way to safety, what was McKay doing?

His duty. He was standing patiently talking to a group of reporters in a scrum, trying his best to explain what had just happened, openly acknowledging what he did not know. To state the blindingly obvious, he was experiencing shock from the terror mere moments old. He had to fight to control tears. Yet he did his polite, deferential, instinctive duty to communicate, through the media, what he could to his fellow citizens.

Another ambient mystery already percolating, even as police teams swarmed through cordoned-off downtown Ottawa hunting no-one-knewwhat, was: Will this change us? Will we be a different Canada the day after than we were in the minutes before the killing of Nathan Cirillo, the gunfire assault on our Parliament?

Watching the sheer, utter normalcy of McKay dutifully answering questions at the confluence of the chaos, I knew the answer was “No.” It won’t change us.

Why? Because we are Canadians.

To say that we are Canadians is not to say that we imagine ourselves as some agglomeration of super heroes

— or hyper stoics — immune from the vicissitudes of an outside world gone mad. To say that would be to say that being Canadian is being delusional. In our hearts, if not always on our lips, we acknowledge we have no such immunity. To pretend we believe otherwise is either myth making or mischief making or both.

We know, in our present moment and in our history, that we are indelibly, painfully marked by the world.

Nathan Cirillo was guarding our War Memorial when he was killed. In less than three weeks, on Nov. 11, we will lay wreaths there as an act of memory for those who died doing their duty all along the boundary where the world touches Canada. We will be reminded, contra myth makers and mischief makers, that we are a people who fight and die to stand on guard.

We are known as a polite and deferential people, because by and large we are. During Wednesday’s events, a group of us snuck up to a spot outside the National Arts Centre to watch activity at the police command post.

Spotting us, an officer rushed over and ordered us out, telling us that we were putting ourselves in danger.

“You don’t have to shout,” I said.

“There was nothing that said we couldn’t be here.”

“I’m sorry,” he said, “but you’ll have to move.”

I’m sorry but you’ll have to move.

In the middle of that emotional tinderbox. I have been in other countries where the response in such tense circumstances was a gun barrel pointed at my head.

Though we are dutifully deferential, however, we do not defer to fear. We never have. I believe we never will.

There is something in us, as people, that will not admit it.

Sure, there will be reviews and inquiries and reports and reassuring sounds that we’re looking into it so it never happens again. Sure, there will be “security upgrades” for access to Parliament Hill, whatever that means in an age where, as Wednesday’s events proved yet again, security means enduring time-consuming inconvenience to obtain the illusory comfort of the impossible.

But we will not be changed by fear.

And if the question of how that is possible when much of the rest of the world reacts by hunkering down, blockading in, assuming the protective position, is put to us, we will answer, following the admirable lead of our honest politicians: “That is an excellent question. We have no idea what the answer is. We’re just being Canadians.”

As always, the top court did not give reasons for its decision.

Allegations against Levin came to light in 2010 after one of his patients came forward with secret videos he had recorded during sessions with the psychiatrist.

The patient was on probation at the time the videos were taken and had been ordered by a court to see Levin twice a month. The man said he had told authorities about previous assaults and no one believed him, so he bought a spy camera and brought it to his appointments.

The videos, played in court during the trial,

Edmonton couple wins $30M on harvest holiday weekend

ST. ALBERT — An Edmonton couple had plenty to be thankful for on the Thanksgiving weekend after winning a lottery jackpot worth almost $31 million.

But Joan and Wade Lidkea didn’t let on at the family dinner because they wanted to confirm the Oct. 10 winning Lotto Max numbers first.

The couple are the latest winners in an Alberta lucky lotto streak that has yielded 38 million-plus jackpots so far this year worth more than $172 million.

Joan was checking their tickets the morning after the draw and was down to the last set of numbers.

She realized she had them all right.

But Wade joked that she must be reading them wrong.

“He came into the room and took a look and said, ‘Yes, yes, you do have them all!”’ she said as the couple was introduced Thursday.

“I wanted to throw up. And then we both started shaking.”

“I got sweaty hands and I didn’t know what to do,” Wade said.

The Lidkeas have played a certain set of numbers for years, KITCHEN APPLIANCES but the winning ducat turned out to be a quick pick.

In July, three couples in Alberta claimed two Lotto 6-49 prizes of $7 million and $18 million and a Lotto Max jackpot of $50 million — all within one week.

The patients had been assigned to Levin between 1999 and 2010 by the justice system.

Levin’s wife was convicted earlier this month of trying to bribe a juror during her husband’s trial.

Erica Levin was charged with obstruction after a juror came forward to say she had been approached by a relative of the accused.

The juror testified she was offered $1,000 if she found Levin not guilty. She was excused from the doctor’s trial after she came forward with her allegations.

She will be sentenced next month.

CALGARY — A Calgary man who has admitted to killing his mother and stepfather has testified that he was in a trance-like state when he heard voices telling him to slay them.

Derek Puffer, who is 40, was on the stand in his own defence Wednesday at a hearing to determine whether he can be held criminally responsible for the deaths, depending on his mental state at the time.

Well-known sports broadcaster Bill Powers and his wife, Donna Lee, were found stabbed in their home in July 2013.

Dressed in a blue prison jumpsuit, Puffer told the court he was emotionally detached when a voice commanded him to kill them.

He said he thought someone had inserted a chip in his brain and felt like he was communicating with God. Puffer also testified that he’s now stable because he receives antipsychotic medication once a month.

Court has previously heard that the pair were stabbed 25 times.

“I was commanded at one point to take off my clothes. I was in a complete trance like state by then,” Puffer testified.

“I was told to pick up a knife and go to work.

I started walking in the general direction of where work would be. I was told to go back to the house and stab Bill and mom — go into the room and stab and kill them. I remember hearing ’stab them’ and I did, it was constantly repeated. I was just emotionally detached at that point. I was being commanded to do it.”

Budget bill a grab-bag of measures

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

POLITICS

OTTAWA — The Conservative government has introduced another mammoth omnibus budget bill that includes a grab-bag of measures, ranging from tax breaks for beekeepers to provisions banning cable companies from charging for paper bills.

Much of the 458-page bill involves the complicated implementation of tax changes and other budget measures, including revisions to the Investment Canada Act. There are some tax breaks for families and students.

However, one section broadens the scope of the national DNA bank. Another tightens the rules around the temporary foreign workers system.

Still another establishes a long-promised Arctic research station.

Conspicuous by its absence, however, is a controversial proposal to amend the Copyright Act to give a politician or party the power to use video, audio and photographs from news outlets.

A cabinet document presented by Heritage Minister Shelly Glover and obtained earlier this month by CTV News and The Canadian Press indicated the proposed copyright changes would be included an upcoming budget bill.

One measure increases the maximum amount that may be claimed un-

der the child fitness tax credit and makes that credit refundable starting in 2015.

Another extends the existing tax credit for interest paid on student loans to interest paid on a Canada Apprentice Loan.

The bill extends a tax deferral for breeding animals to bees and to all types of horses over 12 months of age, that are kept for breeding.

The bill makes a handful of changes to the Investment Canada Act, which governs foreign takeovers of Canadian companies.

The amendments will allow Ottawa to disclose more information about its decision when it denies a takeover due to national security concerns as it did when it rejected a deal Manitoba Telecom Services had signed to sell Allstream to Egyptian investment group Accelero Capital for $520 million.

Ottawa has been criticized for the lack of disclosure about the review process under the act.

The changes also will require foreign companies to disclose to Ottawa when they acquire a stake in a Canadian business through the conversion of a loan or other financial assistance.

The bill also includes measures with little connection to the budget.

One bans broadcasters and cable

and satellite providers from charging customers for paper bills, a measure the Conservatives have promised and touted as a consumer-protection measure.

Another part of the bill establishes the Canadian High Arctic Research Station, a federal research organization that is to be responsible for advancing knowledge of the Arctic.

There is a section expanding the DNA data bank. It will now include DNA profiles from missing persons, their relatives and from human remains.

The idea is to help police, coroners

and medical examiners to find missing persons and identify human remains.

The legislation specifies the purposes for which the commissioner of the RCMP may communicate the results of comparisons of DNA profiles and details what DNA comparisons can be used for.

The omnibus bill also enacts the government’s promised EI tax break for small businesses.

BRIEF Woman charged in baby case appears in court WINNIPEG — A woman accused of concealing the bodies of six babies in a storage locker has made her first appearance in court where her lawyer asked that the autopsies by monitored.

Andrea Giesbrecht, 40, appeared via video link Thursday from the jail where she has been held since her arrest earlier this week. Dressed in a plain grey shirt, Giesbrecht did not speak during the hearing. She yawned on a couple of occasions, but paid attention throughout.

Giesbrecht is accused of hiding the bodies inside the storage locker in an industrial area west of downtown Winnipeg. Police have said it may take months to determine who the infants were, how they died, how long they had been in the storage unit and whether they had been carried to term.

Because of the complexity of the autopsies, defence lawyer Greg Brodsky is asking for an independent pathologist to monitor them as they are done by a medical examiner. “It’s appropriate that we take special care,�

Brodsky told court. “I don’t think it’s fair, in an adversarial process, that the Crown gets to control the evidence.�

OTTAWA, Ont. — An Ottawa man convicted of a terrorism charge as part of a homegrown conspiracy was handed a 12-year sentence.

Misbahuddin Ahmed, 30, had been found guilty of conspiring to facilitate a terrorist activity and participating in the activities of a terrorist group.

The former hospital technician had been acquitted by a jury on a count of possession of explosives with intent to do harm.

Ahmed had faced a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison on the conspiracy charge and 10 years on the participation charge.

He and two others were charged following a top-secret RCMP security operation.

The Crown said the trio had agreed to raise money to support a violent jihad and to make and use explosives against targets.

Khadr’s conspiracy allegation stands

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr should be allowed to claim the Canadian government conspired with the Americans to torture him and breach his rights, a Federal Court judge ruled Thursday.

The ruling by Judge Richard Mosley means Khadr can significantly expand his $20-million civil lawsuit in which he accuses Ottawa of complicity in what he claims was his arbitrary detention and cruel and inhuman treatment at the hands of the Americans.

“Whether Canada conspired with foreign officials to violate the fundamental rights of a citizen is not a trivial matter,” Mosley said in his ruling.

“If anything, adding conspiracy to the statement of claim clarifies the nature of the controversy between the parties and facilitates its comprehensive examination by a court.”

The federal government had opposed the expanded claim, arguing among other things that international law bars Khadr from dragging the U.S. into his civil action, first filed in 2004.

Mosley said it should be up to a trial judge to decide whether the conspiracy allegation can stand.

He said Khadr’s action does not name the U.S. as a defendant nor seek any remedy that could be enforced against American authorities. As a result, it does not violate rules against domestic courts pronouncing on actions by foreign governments, Mosley said.

He awarded costs to Khadr’s lawyers on the grounds that Ottawa had “considerably increased the costs and delay” of the action by opposing the lawsuit amendments, almost all of which he allowed.

Among other things, documents show Canadian

found a firearm on his bus at about 11 a.m., more than two hours after the initial sighting of someone allegedly concealing a weapon nearby.

In a statement, Bourdages said police are investigating and it was not clear if the two events are related. He also did not know what type of gun was seized.

“We can confirm that there were no threats made to anyone, no shots fired and no reports that an armed man entered any building,” the statement says.

Police began searching downtown at about 8:30 a.m. when they received a single report of a man with an earpiece walking with a gun concealed un-

der fabric on Duke and Brunswick streets, adjacent to the street where the gun was later found.

At 11 a.m., Bourdages said they arrested a 25-yearold man without incident after he allegedly left a gun on the bus and walked down Argyle Street close to where the caller reported seeing someone with a gun.

He said the man remained in custody while the investigation continues, but no charges had been laid.

Man arrested in downtown Halifax after driver finds firearm on bus

OC

MONTREAL — Jurors at Luka Rocco Magnotta’s murder trial saw video clips Thursday of a man bound, gagged and unresponsive with the accused brandishing a saw over him.

The video was shot in May 2012 in Magnotta’s apartment, where Jun Lin was killed and dismembered a week later.

Three video clips and three photographs of the mystery man, who Montreal police have been unable to identify, are eerily similar to those on a so-called murder video involving Lin. Jurors previously heard the man appears in the first 53 seconds of the online video.

In one video clip, Magnotta holds a saw near the head of his naked companion as he hovers over him. The man snores away completely oblivious, his arms and legs bound to the bed with rope.

One clip shows Magnotta straddling him, holding the saw and asking him twice if he’s OK. Eventually, he appears to struggle, almost as if he’s waking up slightly.

He escaped unharmed and the jury previously viewed surveillance video from the building showing the groggy man leaving with Magnotta’s help.

Jurors also saw photos of Magnotta and the man lying together, clothed, both seemingly asleep.

Panagiotis Sarganis, a Montreal police computer crimes detective, testified he extracted images from a memory card contained in a camera discarded in the trash behind Magnotta’s apartment.

The images and video clips were the original, unedited material used to make the so-called murder video posted online of Lin on May 25, 2012.

Magnotta is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of Lin, a Chinese engineering student.

He has admitted the physical acts of which he’s accused but has pleaded not guilty by way of mental disorder.

agents went down to the infamous U.S. prison in 2003 and 2004 to interrogate the Toronto-born Khadr after first agreeing to share any intelligence with his American prosecutors.

Khadr’s military captors then subjected him to sleep-deprivation — known as the “frequent flyer” program — to soften him up for interrogation by the Canadians, previously released documents show.

Mosley himself noted three U.S. Supreme Court decisions found procedures at Guantanamo Bay while Khadr was detained to be illegal.

Khadr’s lawyer John Phillips said he was pleased the conspiracy claim could now go ahead as part of the lawsuit.

“This will allow for a full hearing and full airing of what happened to Omar and how he was treated by both the United States and Canadian government authorities,” Phillips said.

“We’re going to see justice done.”

None of Khadr’s claims has been proven in court.

The U.S. government has denied torturing Khadr, 28, who pleaded guilty to five war crimes in October 2010 before a widely maligned American military commission for incidents that occurred in Afghanistan when he was 15.

In return, he was handed a further eight-year sentence. He later said he pleaded guilty only to get out of Guantanamo Bay and come back to Canada.

The Americans had arrested him in July 2002 following a brutal firefight in which he was terribly injured and an American special forces soldier was killed. He was finally returned to Canada in September 2012 and is currently incarcerated in Alberta.

While Ottawa maintains Khadr is a hardened terrorist, legal experts have argued his actions could not have amounted to war crimes under international law.

THE PATH TO INNER HAPPINESS

TSILHQOT’IN

Chief gives lessons about hangings 150 years later

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — It wasn’t long ago that an RCMP officer asked Chief Joe Alphonse for some help in understanding the people of his First Nation.

The Mountie, who was from the small community of Alexis Creek west of Williams Lake, B.C., told Alphonse that every encounter he had with aboriginal people in the Cariboo-Chilcoutin area always involved the same topic: the hangings.

“He wanted to know what our members were talking about,” said Alphonse, a Tsilhqot’in Nation chief. “He said every single last Tsilhqot’in person we pull over will look at us and tell us, ‘you bastards hung our chiefs.”’

Alphonse said he gave the officer a history lesson about events 150 years ago when British Columbia was a colony and the government tried to build a toll road from Bute Inlet on the coast to the Cariboo gold fields in Barkerville.

The canyons, rivers and mountains were treacherous and going was slow, but the road builders met an even more difficult force, the Tsilhqot’in aboriginals.

The dispute left 20 non-aboriginals dead and six chiefs were later hanged.

The Chilcotin War is known as Western Canada’s deadliest attack by aboriginals on non-aboriginal settlers. It started in April 1864, and by the end of May, 19 road builders and a farmer were dead.

First Nations, decimated by smallpox and fearing an influx of settlers into their territory, put up an armed resistance to the workers attempting to build a road through their territory for the gold rush.

A militia army of more than 100 people was sent into the area, but capturing the Tsilhqot’in was impossible.

After three months, the area’s police chief invited the aboriginals to a meeting, where the First Nations — believing they were being summoned for peace talks — were arrested.

The men were given brief trials.

Five were hanged in Quesnel on Oct. 26, 1864, and another was hanged later in New Westminster.

Lawyers battle over changes to citizenship act

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A Federal Court judge is considering whether Parliament has the authority to pass a law that could see a Canadian-born terrorist stripped of their citizenship.

Two Toronto lawyers argue that the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act, which could allow the government to revoke the citizenship of someone who holds dual citizenship, is unconstitutional.

Previously, a person could be stripped of Canadian citizenship for attaining it through false representations.

But the new law expands the list of those vulnerable to revocation to include people born in Canada but eligible to claim citizenship in another country — for instance, through their parents.

It also broadens the grounds for revocation to include several criminal offences including espionage, treason or terrorism.

After a day of arguments in court Thursday, Federal Court Judge Donald Rennie reserved his decision. But whichever way he rules, it’s expected the case will be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.

The challenge was launched by lawyers Paul Slansky, who represented the Constitutional Rights Centre, and Rocco Galati, who has been a thorn in the side of the Conservative government by successfully challenging the appointment of Marc Nadon to the Supreme Court and has also challenged the appointment of a Quebec Court of Appeal judge.

They argue that Parliament did not have the authority to legislate on the issue based on language about citizenship in the constitution.

The public should pay attention to the case, Slansky said, because even though the government will say these changes only deal with treason and terrorism offences, it could go further.

“If the court says they have authority to do this, what’s to stop them from next week, next month, next year, from saying, ’Well, we’re going to say you’re no longer a citizen if you’re convicted of any offence, or convicted of serious violent offences, or if you don’t vote for the Conservative party?” he said outside court.

Government lawyer Greg George says the provisions are not yet being enforced, but “if and when” they are, they will be used against someone who has committed “some of the most serious, serious things that can be done against the state.”

The judge wondered if the law creates two categories of Canadian citizens.

“We’re saying citizens that hold dual citizenship can be removed to another country,” Rennie said. “Citizens that don’t, aren’t going to be removed. And that creation of a distinction within the concept...has to be problematic.”

New York doctor has Ebola malaria and cholera.

The Ebola epidemic in West Africa has killed about 4,800 people. In the United States, the first person diagnosed with the disease was a Liberian man, who fell ill days after arriving in Dallas and later died, becoming the only fatality. Two nurses who treated him were infected and are hospitalized.

Four American aid workers, including three doctors, were infected while working in Africa and were transferred to the U.S. for treatment in recent months. All recovered.

NEW YORK — A Doctors Without Borders physician who recently returned to New York after treating Ebola patients in West Africa has tested positive for the virus, according to preliminary test results.

He’s the fourth confirmed case in the U.S. and the first in the city.

City officials say a further test by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will confirm the initial test.

A law enforcement official and a City official received notification of the preliminary test results and told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

Fence jumper still in custody DAD SAYS HE’S ‘MENTALLY DISTURBED,’ NOT VIOLENT

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The latest person to climb over the White House fence had the paranoid belief he was being watched by cameras and had previously been arrested at the executive mansion, his father said.

Dominic Adesanya, 23, of Bel Air, Maryland, was ordered held without bond in an appearance Thursday before a federal magistrate judge. Wearing blue prison garb, he resisted being

taken away and started talking as two deputy marshals removed him from the courtroom.

Adesanya has been charged with two federal offences: unlawfully entering the restricted grounds of the White House and harming two law enforcement dogs that were released to take him down. A preliminary hearing and detention hearing have been scheduled for Monday.

Earlier Thursday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said options are being considered to enhance

security at the White House, including more personnel, technology and physical impediments to get in. He praised the agents’ response, saying, “Yesterday’s incident underscores the professionalism of the Secret Service.”

Adesanya had previously been arrested at the White House on July 27 and ordered to undergo mental health screening. His father, Victor Adesanya, said Thursday that his son has been experiencing mental health problems for over a year, but he refused the help the family tried to get for him.

Victor Adesanya said his son was diagnosed with paranoia and “complained about cameras everywhere.”

He said at one point his son took down a mirror in the bathroom and cut into the wall, trying to find a camera. He also looked for them in the family’s attic. He said his son was not trying to hurt the president.

“He’s not violent. He’s not a criminal. He’s not a murderer. He’s just someone that’s just mentally disturbed,” he said.

South African brothers indicted in U.S. on charges involving illegal rhino hunts

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Afghan National Army soldiers load their belt-fed machine gun during a mock attack on an enemy’s stronghold during a military training exercise at Kabul Military Training Center, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Wednesday. Taliban insurgents have stepped up their attacks against both Afghan and NATO security forces as most international security forces prepare to withdraw by the end of the year.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — Iraq’s fractured army has begun to regroup and stage modest, localized attacks on the Islamic State militants who routed them last spring and summer, but they are unlikely to be ready to launch a major counteroffensive for many months, senior U.S. military officials said Thursday.

“We’ve seen them start to act like an army,” one official said in a lengthy exchange with a group of Washington reporters who were invited to U.S. Central Command headquarters for the command’s most extensive briefings on operations in Iraq and Syria.

The Iraqi security forces, trained for years by the U.S. prior to its departure from Iraq in 2011, have suffered sectarian divisions, a breakdown in leadership and a loss of confidence. To compound the problem, they surrendered tanks, armoured personnel carriers and other U.S.-supplied equipment several months ago when IS fighters overtook Mosul.

The officials, who were not authorized to be quoted by name in discussing details of the U.S. military strategy

in Iraq and Syria, made it clear that no large Iraqi counteroffensive was imminent or even feasible for the time being. Their remarks coincided with a Pentagon statement that said Iraq’s new defence chief, Khaled al-Obeidi, told Defence Minister Chuck Hagel in a telephone call that Baghdad was committed to regaining the initiative.

“The minister was quite clear on more than one occasion ... that he has every intention of going on the offensive,” the Pentagon press secretary, Rear Adm. John Kirby, said in Washington. He said Hagel encouraged alObeidi to rebuild the army in a manner that “engenders trust and confidence” not only among soldiers but also among the Iraqi people.

The Iraqi government is blamed by U.S. officials for having sown the sectarian seeds of this year’s collapse in much of northern and western Iraq.

Yet Baghdad is the key to President Barack Obama’s approach to rolling back IS gains in Iraq.

Obama has ruled out re-engaging U.S. troops in a ground war there; instead he has told the Iraqis they must regroup and unite against IS, with American and certain partner countries like France and Britain assisting.

St. Louis police officer shot man six times in the back: private autopsy

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — A black 18-year-old killed earlier this month by a white offduty St. Louis police officer was shot eight times, including six from behind, a forensic pathologist who performed a private autopsy said Thursday.

Dr. Cyril Wecht, who has investigated the deaths of John F. Kennedy, Elvis Presley and JonBenet Ramsey, conducted the autopsy at the request of Vonderrit Myers Jr.’s family and outlined the findings during a news conference at the funeral home that will handle Myers’ burial. The family’s attorneys said the autopsy suggests Myers was running away from the officer.

Myers’ parents attended the autopsy announcement but did not comment.

“The evidence shows that the story we’ve been given by the Police Department does not match up,” one of the attorneys, Jerryl Christmas, said.

“There’s no evidence that there was a gun battle going on.”

Wecht said it’s likely that Myers was initially shot six times in the back of

both legs. He said another shot hit the side of the left leg, shattering his femur.

The fatal wound was to the side of Myers’ face, Wecht said.

Police have said Myers shot first at the officer. They released details of lab tests by the Missouri State Highway Patrol that showed gunshot residue on Myers’ hand, waistband and shirt. Police union leaders said the finding dispelled claims by Myers’ family that he didn’t fire at the officer, whose name hasn’t been released.

The officer’s attorney, Brian Millikan, said the private autopsy results support that account as well.

“It’s absolutely consistent with what the officer told the investigators from early on,” said Millikan, a former St. Louis police officer. “There were no shots fired when (Myers) was running away. That’s simply not true.”

Police Chief Sam Dotson has said Myers fired three shots before his gun jammed.

Millikan said Myers was shot in the back of the legs while lying on his side with a gun in his hand.

Iraqi counteroffensive still months away

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Two South African brothers have been indicted in Alabama on charges of conspiracy to sell illegal rhinoceros hunting trips to Americans and of selling rhino horns on the black market.

Federal prosecutors unsealed the indictments of Dawie and Janneman Groenewald and their safari company Thursday in Montgomery.

Federal officials said the brothers travelled throughout the United States between 2008 and 2010 to attend hunting convention and gun shows, where they sold hunts at their ranch in Mussina, South Africa. Prosecutors said hunters paid between $3,500 and $15,000 to participate. The horns from the dead rhinos were sold on the black market.

The brothers and their company face charges of conspiracy, illegal wildlife trafficking, mail fraud, international money laundering and structuring bank deposits to avoid reporting requirements.

Daniel Ashe, director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the indictments were part of Operation Crash, an undercover investigation into illegal trafficking of rhinos that has already resulted in a dozen convictions. More arrests are likely.

Prosecutors said the case was brought in Alabama because Janneman Groenewald, 44, used to live in Autaugaville, about 20 miles west of Montgomery, and their company, Out of Africa Adverturous Safaris, had bank accounts in Alabama.

Airstrikes taking their toll on ISIL IRAQI KURDS SENDING DOZENS OF FIGHTERS TO DEFEND KOBANI

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Smoke from an airstrike by the U.S.-led coalition rises outside Kobani, Syria, as seen from a hilltop on the outskirts of Suruc, at the Turkey-Syria border, Thursday. Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab, and its surrounding areas, has been under assault by extremists of the Islamic State group since mid-September and is being defended by Kurdish fighters.

Meanwhile, the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad has stepped up its efforts to reclaim rebel-held areas surrounding major cities. On Thursday, staterun media said government forces wrested the town of Morek in central Syria from rebels. The town is seen as a strategic prize, because it lies on the highway between the key cities of Hama and Aleppo.

Also Thursday, neighbouring Lebanon said it would not accept any more refugees from Syria, except in what authorities deem to be “exceptional” cases — a move that could prevent tens of thousands of Syrians from escaping the civil war.

There are over 3 million Syrian refugees from the war, mostly in neighbouring countries.

Another 6 million have been displaced within Syria.

MURSITPINAR, Turkey — U.S.-led coalition airstrikes in Syria have killed more than 500 people since they began last month, mainly Islamic militants, activists said Thursday, as fighting flared yet again in the northern Syrian border town of Kobani.

Despite the large death toll and international intervention to aid Kurdish forces fighting to defend Kobani, Islamic State forces on Thursday seized a hilltop overlooking the town along the Syria-Turkey border, activist said.

To aid their brethren, Iraqi Kurds pledged to send dozens of fighters over the coming days to battle alongside Syrian Kurdish forces in Kobani.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has a network of activists on the ground, said 553 people have been killed in airstrikes since they began Sept. 23, including 32 civilians. The civilians included six children and five women.

The group said it documented 464 deaths among fighters of the Islamic State group but said the number could be much higher. Also, 57 fighters from the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front were killed in airstrikes elsewhere in northern Syria, the Observatory said.

Many of the Islamic State fighters died in the battle for Kobani, which the militants have been trying to seize since mid-September. The IS group also captured dozens of surrounding Kurdish villages, compelling more than 200,000 people to flee to neighbouring Turkey.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Central Command said its forces conducted more than 135 airstrikes against the militants in and around Kobani, killing hundreds of fighters.

“Combined with continued resistance to ISIL on the ground, indications are that these strikes have slowed ISIL advances into the city, killed hundreds of their fighters and destroyed or damaged scores of pieces of ISIL combat equipment and fighting positions,” Central Command said in a statement, using one of the acronyms for the militant group.

In northern Iraq, Fuad Hussein, the chief of staff for the Kurdish regional President Massoud Barzani, told The Associated Press that the largely-autonomous Iraqi Kurdish government would send some 150 peshmerga fighters to Kobani through Turkey to support Syrian Kurds there.

Hussein said they would take light weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, and in a response to Turkish concerns about armed Kurds on their territory, said the peshmerga would bring the weapons back once they returned.

“The fight in Kobani is very important to us,” he said. “We are fighting the same enemy.”

On the Turkish side of the border, heavy machinegun fire was heard on Thursday coming from Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab in Arabic.

The clashes were some of the fiercest since the battle for the town began, Kurdish activist Farhad Shami said over the phone. Speaking from the area, he said the Islamic State group launched an attack from three fronts late Wednesday.

By Thursday, the militants captured the Tel Shair hill that overlooks parts of Kobani, closing in on the town from the west, the Observatory reported.

Shami said the Kurdish fighters had withdrawn from the area. The Observatory said Islamic State fighters were also trying to advance from the eastern side of the town.

Capturing Kobani would give the Islamic State group, which already rules a huge stretch of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq border, a direct link between the Syrian province of Aleppo and its stronghold of Raqqa, to the east.

NATO’s supreme military commander, U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, said in Turkey on Thursday that the alliance was ready to come to Turkey’s defence if the situation on its border deteriorated and it sought help from the organization.

He said that NATO had already provided Turkey will a Patriot missile defence system that it had deployed on the border with Syria.

“NATO is ready,” Breedlove said. “We will work together to face this challenge that we see on the border.”

The Observatory meanwhile reported four coalition airstrikes on oil wells in the Jafra field in eastern Syria late Wednesday.

Central Command said they had conducted six airstrikes since Wednesday; four near Kobani, and two that targeted oil-holding tanks.

The U.S.-led coalition has been shelling IS-held oil facilities in Syria, which provide a key source of income for the militants. But such strikes also endanger civilians, which could undermine long-term efforts to destroy the militant group.

The attacks on the oil industry, including refineries, have also led to a sharp rise in the price of oil products in rebel-held areas of Syria.

Rebels hitting reset button WORKED ON THE MENTAL PART OF GAME HEADING INTO VIRTUAL MUST-WIN WEEKEND

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR The Red Deer Rebels coaching staff put their charges to work this week, with the practice sessions focused not only on physical components but also the players’ mental makeup.

Certainly, there was much to work on with the Rebels having come out on the short end of their last five Western Hockey League outings and heading into a virtual must-win weekend.

“Again, we’re hitting the reset button. Our season has to start over,” Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter said Thursday, looking ahead to tonight’s meeting with the visiting Prince George Cougars and Saturday’s visit by the Moose Jaw Warriors.

“We came back after this last road trip needing to get into a different frame of mind. I hope these last five days have been good with the things we’ve done and how we managed them. We’re now starting a 61-game season.”

Sutter is convinced that the team’s problems are more mental than physical and that the players understand they have to perform with more consistent intensity than has been the case the majority of the season to date. The team’s lack of undeviating emotion and disciplined defensive play is reflected in a 3-7-1-0 record.

“The players all know where the coaches are coming from and where we want our game to be,” said Sutter. “It’s never a good thing when the game itself is generating emotion for you — you have to come to the rink with that emotion and passion for wanting to do well.”

The Rebels aren’t the only team that has stumbled out of the gate. The Kootenay Ice, Victoria Royals

and Portland Winterhawks had high aspirations heading into the season and have struggled big time.

“For our players, the important thing is how they handle the adversity and deal with it the right way,” said Sutter.

“Do we want to be in the position we’re in? No, but at the same time it’s not like the season is over for us. We’re just getting started in the regular season, we’re one-seventh in. But we have to get going, we have to get playing the way we want to play. We have to start getting some wins, we have to start getting some points.

“The outcome will always take care of itself if

the process and the principles are in place to give yourself a chance to be rewarded. We’ve just had too many games where the process through them haven’t been what we’ve wanted, and it’s just been different things.

“Now we have to put that all together. It’s a long year and you can’t get too riled too early, but we also have to recognize that we have to nail this in the butt right now and get going.”

The Rebels boss wasn’t identifying anyone by name, but he made it clear that NHL first-round draft picks Haydn Fleury and Conner Bleackley absolutely must be major pieces in the puzzle going forward, and that neither has played to his potential so far this fall.

“The reality is we haven’t had enough players play well enough on a consistent basis,” said Sutter.

“We’ve shown signs of being a good team — our first three games were the best three we’ve played all season, and why is that?

“Personally I think it had a lot to do with attitudes . . . a lot to do with the attitude of our team when certain guys can back from pro camps. They didn’t come back in the right frame of mind and some of the other players dropped their guard when they got back. We got into a situation where some things were starting to happen and we didn’t respond the right way.

“So now it’s about hitting that button over again and getting back on the right path. We had to get everybody back in a positive frame of mind this week and I feel good about it. But let’s see what happens.”

The Rebels will close out a three-game homestand with a Tuesday date with the Medicine Hat Tigers.

Red Deer will open a six-game trip next Friday against the Ice before heading south to clash with each of the five U.S. Division teams. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Defence leads Lightning over Cougars

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Lightning 24 Cougars 0 The Hunting Hills Lightning defence was electric on a cool Thursday evening at Great Chief Park.

The Lightning defenders held the Notre Dame Cougars offence to 199 yards in total as Hunting Hills posted a 24-0 win in a Central Alberta High School Football League City Division semifinal played in front of 339 fans.

The second semifinal, featuring the Lacombe Rams and favoured Lindsay Thurber Raiders, goes tonight at 7 p.m. at Great Chief.

The Lightning defence surrendered 133 yards to Cougars running back and league rushing champion Johannes Smith, but very little else. The run defence was in sharp contrast to the previous week when Smith rambled for 249 yards in a 35-8 loss to Hunting Hills.

“Our defence was very good today, they played well,” said Lightning head coach Kyle Sedgwick.

“Last week I thought they had a real rough time against their (Cougars’) ground game. Tonight we really tried to correct that.

“The toughest thing is to play teams back to back.

Last year we played Lacombe and a couple of weeks later played them again in a semifinal and it was a much harder game. I think the score last week was not indicative of how the game went and it was tough to get our guys into that proper mindset for tonight’s game.”

The Lightning didn’t score until late in the first quarter when quarterback Brett Barrett hit Brandt Burzuk with a six-yard screen pass, then didn’t add to the total until the final minute of the opening half when Eder Arias booted a 35-yard field goal.

“We came out and made some terrible mental mistakes early in the game, but that field goal near the end of the half was big,” said Sedgwick.

“It was a big three points because we started the series on our own 10-yard line.”

The Lightning put the game away with a strong third-quarter performance that yielded two touchdowns on runs of 46 yards by Linden Petersen and six yards by Burzuk. Arias converted both majors as well as Burzuk’s first-half touchdown.

“Our guys realized at the half that this is a hardfighting, well-coached team we’re playing and this is a semifinal,” said Sedgwick.

“I think that was the best third quarter we’ve played all year. Our defence held strong even when the young guys went in.

“We’ve had a strong defence all year. It’s just that every now and then we hurt ourselves, which we did last week against their (Cougars’) running game and when we play teams like Thurber we sometimes get out of position. Tonight was a just a good team effort all around.”

Burzuk led all rushers with 150 yards on 13 car-

ries, while Petersen carried five times for 11 yards.

“That’s an experienced O-line. We have four returning starters which is pretty rare in high school football,” said Sedgwick. “Burzuk ran well and Linden Petersen . . . when he sees a lane and gets to full speed he’s tough to catch. That’s what you need out of your Grade 12s, and we’re going to need that out of every player in the final, for sure.

“It’s nice to be back in final for a fifth straight year and whoever we play it’s going to be a tough one. It always is at this time of the year.”

Sedgwick also praised Barrett, who completed 11 of 17 passes for 143 yards before being replaced by Eric Thomson in the fourth quarter. Zach Morgan was Barrett’s favourite target, hauling in four balls for 57 yards.

Cougars quarterback Keegan MacDonald was good on seven pass attempts for 54 yards and drove his team to the Hunting Hills four-yard line late in the game before being intercepted in the end zone.

Jesse Kowalchuk had one catch for a team-high 33

yards.

“That’s a good team we played tonight. Burzuk and Petersen are good players,” said Cougars head coach Gino Castellan. “But we hung in there and I thought our defence played well. They (Lightning) had a few big plays and we just couldn’t move the ball. If you don’t score points you’re not going to win.

“But I’m happy . . . our young kids played well. It’s a learning curve. From the time we played Bev Facey (prior to the start of the regular season) until now, we’re leaps and bounds ahead. And we still have another two weeks so we’re going to get better.”

Notre Dame will take on the loser of today’s semifinal in the division consolation final next week and then — as the lone Central zone tier 1 school — will host a Calgary team in a provincial playoff game Nov. 8 at Great Chief Park.

The winner of the City Division final will advance to the provincials as the Central zone tier 2 representative. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

against each other this season. The tidal wave of interest produced by this game means close friends and family of Argos players should be joined in the stands by at least 50 or 60 extra fans. See what happens when you fire your marketing staff and replace them with nothing, Argos owner Dave Braley?

I look at this game, scratch my head, toss a coin, and then make a prediction: Toronto wins the game and keeps alive its drive for first place in the East Division. The Argos are not a football machine, but their engine is still Ricky Ray, and that is enough horsepower to win the game.

The last game of Week 18 pits B.C. against the Bombers in Winnipeg on Saturday night. A promising start to 2014 has nose-dived into a nightmare for the Blue Bombers and they are once again one of the worst teams in the league. Winnipeg is in open audition mode for the 2015 season and this game will be similar to an exhibition game for many Bombers players in a some-of-them-will-soon-be-unemployed context.

Hungry Lions do not make great guests for games played during the supper hour. The Bombers are just a blue plate special for B.C. in the last game of Week 18.

FORMER RED DEER REBEL AND SASKATOON BLADE CORY MILLETTE GOT TO WEAR THE ‘C’ TO HONOUR HIS FATHER

THE ICE

BY DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN SASKATOON STARPHOENIX

Favourite team while growing up; The Edmonton Oilers, just because they were close to my home town.

Favourite player; I’m a big Carey Price fan because he is so good, I’m a big Montreal fan now.

He’s just a good player and I enjoy watching him play, even if he’s a goalie.

Pre-game meal; Chicken and pasta with alfredo sauce, every time, with a little Montreal chicken spice on there.

Must have travel item; A phone and an iPad, for sure a computer, for music and games, we have wifi on the bus, so it’s a must.

Favourite minor hockey memory; Leading in scoring in peewee. (Since then) I got bigger, I got slower and the hands aren’t as good anymore, the kids are better.

FABULOUS FRESHMAN Brandon Wheat Kings D Ivan Provorov leads all WHL rookies in scoring with six Ivan goals and Provorov 13 points in 12 games.

Provorov, who was selected

by Brandon 30th overall in this year’s CHL import draft, put up 19 points (6g,13a) in 56 games last season with the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders of the USHL. The native of Yaroslavl, Russia, also played a year of midget hockey in the U.S., recording 97 points in 51 games with the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Knights.

HE SAID IT “He was struggling with where he fit in. I think, like most young guys, he was a little Garry impatient Davidson and wanted things to happen overnight. He had a good season when he was 16, but last year he was so-so, and this year he started like he finished last year. He probably needs a new setting to see if he can get back on track.” — Everett Silvertips GM Garry Davidson, to Nick Patteron of the Everett Herald, in reference to forward Tyler Sandhu whom he traded to the Red Deer Rebels this week.

about his son’s games.

“I think (Cory) just wanted to play hard for his dad,” Cory said. “Just make his day. You know you’re dying and Cory knew that too. He was trying to make everything special for the last days.”

Adrien died on Jan. 30, 2011 at age 52 from leukemia.

“I just wish my boys had another chance to be with their dad,” Kim said. “He was a good person.”

The idea to let Millette be the captain for one night just made too much sense inside the Blades dressing room.

Head coach and general manager Bob Woods has watched his father, Mervyn, successful

battle cancer twice.

Captain Brett Stovin has had two grandparents beat the disease and two not.

“When Colin came to me with the idea, it didn’t take me a second to think it was a good idea,” Stovin said. “Before the game it was tough for me to address the team and pass it over to him.

I had quite a bit of emotion in me.

“It got to me, knowing Yeti for a long time and being so close to him and talking to him about it.”

It was a night the family will never forget. Not only did Kim win over $3,000 in the 50/50 draw, but the organization purchased her son’s sweater — af-

fixed with a ‘C’ on the front — that she’ll cherish.

“Forever,” she said.

Millette was last a captain in minor hockey. It was the perfect night to change that.

“It was pretty special,” Millette said. “It was unbelievable.”

His dad is always front of mind whenever he plays a game.

So Millette was quick with an answer when asked what his dad would have thought about seeing him skate with a ‘C’ on his sweater.

“He would have been very proud and very excited,” Millette said. dnugent-bowman@thestarphoenix.com

Deer native and listed him as a 15-year-old.

Sittler, who had a 2.03 GAA, a .913 save percentage and a 12-4-2 record with the Optimist Chiefs last winter, became attractive to the Royals when back-up Evan Smith suffered an injury in practice this week.

“We’re getting a veteran guy in Sittler . . . and our scouts like him,” Royals GM Cam Hope told Bruce Stotesbury of the Victoria Times Colonist. “He recorded a shutout in his last (and only) WHL game and we’ve seen (recent) video of him.”

Sittler will be in the Victoria lineup for home games today and Saturday against the Vancouver Giants.

• The Brandon Wheat Kings have a problem, but they won’t be getting any sympathy cards from league GMs. The Wheat Kings suddenly have three high-quality imports at their disposal with the return of overage forward Richard Nejezchleb from the American Hockey League’s Hartford Wolf Pack.

Brandon also has the services of 19-year-old Latvian left winger Rihards Bukarts and 17-yearold Russian defenceman Ivan Provorov, both of whom are

shaping up as impact players.

Bukarts is the club’s leading scorer and is tied for third in the league with 20 points (7-13) and Provorov is the WHL scoring leader and has already secured his place on the team.

That being said, Nejezchleb, who was drafted by the New York Rangers in June, is a load at six-foot-three and 208 pounds and was Brandon’s top goal scorer last season with 32 goals.

However, his presence in the lineup would take up two spots as both an import and a 20-yearold.

The Wheat Kings have 14 days to decide which of the three imports they will move, with either Bukarts or Nejezchleb the likely casualty. Bukarts, for obvious reasons, would be the easiest of the two to trade.

“It is going to be a tough decision,” McCrimmon told Rob Henderson of the Brandon Sun. “Every player involved has the ability to be an impact player.

When you look at what they can contribute to a team, they’re high-end players. We’ll have two good imports on our team, but we’ll have to work our way through the process.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

That ritual didn’t change last Saturday for the Saskatoon Blades and former Red Deer Rebels winger. Except when he stepped on the ice as the Blades captain, the circumstances were much different than usual.

“I had something to play for,” Millette said.

The Blades wore specialty blue and pink sweaters, which were raffled off to raise money for breast cancer research following a 6-4 loss to Edmonton.

As a result, managing partner Colin Priestner thought it would be fitting to allow Millette to wear the ‘C’ as tribute to his dad, who lost his battle with cancer nearly four years ago.

Millette’s mother, Kim was also on hand for the ceremonial faceoff, which she conducted with her son.

“It brings twinkles to my eye,” she said. “I don’t know what to say. I just said, ‘Play for your dad tonight, bud.’”

Adrien first put his youngest of three sons on skates when he was two years old. Adrien loved hockey and was there videotaping Millette as he took his first steps, stumbles and strides on the ice.

Millette displayed enough talent that Notre Dame asked that he play bantam triple-A there in 2009-10. Adrien, a grain farmer in Storthoaks, was supportive and footed the bill for the boarding school.

But Adrien came home sick one day while swathing the next summer. Kim noticed that he was sore and looked grey.

The family, which includes Dustin, now 25, and Bradley, 22, finally convinced him to see a doctor. That led him to a specialist in Regina in August 2010.

“They told him he has cancer and he has two weeks to live,” Kim said.

The leukemia was advanced, but Adrien fought on.

Millette, who had moved on to the midget level with the Moose Jaw Generals, would visit his dad whenever he could and stay late at night before driving back from Regina.

Adrien would always ask

Slow start stifles Queens in opener

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Griffins 2 Queens 1 It took the Red Deer College Queens 20 minutes to get going in their home opener, and once they did, they went blow for blow with the MacEwan University Griffins.

The problem was the first 20 minutes put them in a hole they were unable to dig out of, as they lost 2-1 in the first game of the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference women’s hockey season at Red Deer Arena on Thursday night.

Mak Bauer and Eva Lovsin scored for MacEwan while Brenna McNulty made 23 saves for the win.

Second year left winger Kaylea Renz replied for RDC while Moriah Andrews made 23 saves.

“I think we were just really excited to get out there and our nerves got a hold of us a bit,” said Renz. “The nerves settled down and we got into the flow of things a little bit better.”

The slow start proved frustrating for head coach Bob Rutz.

“We’re capable of a much higher compete level, we had a lengthy meeting after the game and the girls agreed,” he said. “We had a tough exhibition schedule and played some tough teams at a way faster pace than what you saw out there tonight ... I think we’re capable of much more.”

The Griffins opened the scoring on the power play at 5:02 of the first period as Bauer swept a loose puck past a sprawling Andrews into the open net.

RDC did manage to tie it up at 7:39 with Renz’s power-play marker, but Lovsin put the Griffins ahead for good at 13:43, snapping a shot past Andrews, one the keeper likely would want back.

However, the Queens settled down

Red Deer College Queen Jessica Anderson fends off Grant MacEwan Griffin Mak Bauer in the Queens end during second period action at the Arena in Red Deer Thursday. after the opening frame and kept pace with the Griffins. The only problem was they were unable to beat McNulty a second time with the Winnipeg native making several big saves to keep the Queens in chase position.

“We did some good things in the second and third period but not enough,” said Rutz. “We have high expectations for this program, but the expectations

are not so high that they can’t achieve them. Our older players have to be better for 60 minutes, they have to lead the way.”

One positive for the Queens is that Renz got on the scoreboard.

Scoring is seemingly always and issue for the club and this year they are going with a scoring by committee mentality. If they can get Renz going,

that will be a big boost for their offence.

The Onoway product scored one goal in nine games as a defensive forward last season, but has shown the potential so far to take on a bigger role.

“Last year she killed the odd penalty for us and played on the fourth line, this year she worked hard on her foot work this summer and has been a pleasant surprise on the offensive side of the puck,” said Rutz “She’s one of our most improved players from the start to this point. We’ve got other girls that can play a huge offensive role and if Kaylea wants to do that too, that’s only going to make us better.”

She scored her goal by going to the net on the power play and redirecting a Megan Jones point shot into the net.

“We work on that quite a bit in practice,” said Renz.

“We try and generate the high shot and we focus on getting a lot of traffic to the net and dig in those rebounds, not necessarily getting that first shot through but making sure we’re getting a shot on every chance.”

The two teams will play again tonight, this time in Edmonton at 8:15 p.m. The Queens will be looking to return the favour and spoil MacEwan’s home opener and get the all important split.

“It’s huge, especially at the start of the season, we want to get a win this weekend to get us going,” said Renz.

“I believe in our team, I think we will.

The jitters are gone now and we’ll come out hard and have a full game.”

NOTES — Andrews was named player of the game for the Queens while forward Courtney Zajac got the honour for MacEwan, assisting on both goals ... RDC was 1-for-7 on the power play while MacEwan was 1-for-5 with the man advantage. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Monahan leads Flames to blow out win over Hurricanes

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Flames 5 Hurricanes 0 CALGARY — Sean Monahan burst onto the scene as a rookie with the Calgary Flames last season with six goals in his first eight games.

Through eight games this season, Monahan had just two assists and no goals, despite the fact he was second on the team with 20 shots.

Monahan’s goal-less drought ended on Wednesday as he scored his first two goals of the season to lead Calgary to a convincing 5-0 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.

“Obviously it’s been quite a few games now,’’ said Monahan, who was named the game’s first star. “I want to contribute, to help get wins, and I think that was a big relief for me tonight.’’

Linemate Joe Colborne helped set up both of Monahan’s goals.

“Sooner or later, a guy with that skill is going to break out,’’ said Colborne, who leads the Flames with eight points — all assists — through nine games.

“I was just happy I was able to be a part of it. All the boys on the ice and on the bench were happy for him.

Right now, If I was a fantasy hockey player, I’d have him in the lineup for the next little while. He’s going to get hot.’’

Jiri Hudler, the third member of the line, also had two assists for the Flames (5-3-1). Calgary coach Bob Hartley put the line together for the first time this season and the move paid off.

“That’s the line that I saw last year,’’ Hartley said.

“That’s the kind of performance that they were giving us and certainly that’s the kind of performance that we need from them.’’

Goalie Jonas Hiller stopped all 16 shots he faced for his third straight win and first shutout of the season in front of 19,289 fans at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

“We spent most of the time in their zone so it was definitely not as tiring as other games I’ve played this year,’’ said Hiller, who has stopped 99 of 101 shots he has faced over his past three games. “You could see out there that everybody was willing to compete and to sacrifice, even blocking shots until the end. Even in the third when we were up 5-0, guys were still working hard and then blocking shots.

That’s obviously a nice feeling.’’

Matt Stajan and Lance Bouma also scored their first goals of the season for the Flames, who bounced back from a 2-1 overtime loss they suffered at home to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.

Dennis Wideman also scored for Calgary, while Kris Russell chipped in with two assists.

Although the Hurricanes (0-4-2) have yet to win this season, this is the first time they’ve been blown out.

Three of their other losses were by a one-goal

margin, while the other two were by two goals, including a 3-1 road loss to the Winnipeg Jets two nights earlier.

“It got away from us,’’ said Carolina coach Bill Peters. “We got scored on the first shift of the second (period). I don’t know what it was, but we didn’t respond properly there. Too many freebies. Too many easy goals. Too much room. Too much time and space. It’s not the way we’ve played, so it’s disappointing.’’

Playing in just his third game of the season, Carolina goalie Cam Ward finished with 19 saves in a losing cause.

Ward turned aside a pair of point shots off the stick of Russell during a Calgary power play in the first period before standing his ground to stop a shot from the slot by forward Brandon Bollig.

At the other end of the ice, Hiller made a great glove grab to deny Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner’s break-away attempt.

Wideman opened the scoring when he blasted a point shot past Ward, who was screened by Glencross on the play, to give the Flames a 1-0 lead at 18:18 of the first.

Calgary continued that momentum after the break as Stajan one-timed a pass from Byron past Ward just 32 seconds into the second period.

Monahan then put the Flames up 3-0 at 4:14 of the

second when he was the recipient of a nice backdoor pass from linemate Jiri Hudler for an easy tapin goal.

“When he has the puck, you’ve got to expect to get it back,’’ Monahan said. “I was ready for it. I thought it would be coming and it was right on my tape.’’

Alexander Semin had Carolina’s best chance to score in the second with just over eight minutes left in the period, but Hiller made a nice kick save with his left leg to keep the Hurricanes off the board.

Monahan counted his second of the game at 3:23 of the third when he settled a bouncing puck in the slot before backhanding a shot past Ward.

Less than two minutes later, Bouma drove hard to the net and tapped a pass from Josh Jooris into the Carolina net to put Calgary up 5-0.

Notes: The Flames paid tribute to the tragic events in Ottawa and Quebec by having everyone observe a moment of silence before George Canyon sang ``O Canada.’’ Since sitting out Calgary’s 5-2 road win over the Edmonton Oilers as a healthy scratch, Wideman has scored four goals and added one assist in seven games. Wideman has scored four goals in his past five games and all of the goals have been the first goal of the game for the Flames. Hudler’s assist on Monahan’s goal in the second period was the 300th point of his NHL career in his 534th game. He added another assist on Monahan’s second goal.

Dragons 4 Grizzlys 0 DRUMHELLER — A trade early on Thursday failed to spark the Olds Grizzlys (9-6-3) as they lost their third straight Alberta Junior Hockey League game.

After trading defenceman Chaydan Lauber to the Calgary Canucks for forward Colton Sheen, the Grizzlys were shut out 4-0 by the host Drumheller Dragons (9-4-3).

Connor Duncan and Hunter Mills both scored twice for the Dragons while Jonny Hogue made 25 saves for the shutout.

Jordan Piccolino stopped 19 of the 23 shots he faced.

Sheen was not in the Grizzlys lineup on Thursday.

The five-foot-nine, 20-year-old forward was third in Canucks scoring with six goals and five assists in 15 games.

Lauber, 17, was in his second season with the Grizzlys. The six-foot-four, 215-pound blue-liner had three assists in 13 games this season.

“In order to get something in this league you have to give up something and that is what we did here, simple as that,” said Grizzlys head coach Brett Hopfe in a press release. “Chaydan is a great kid with great potential and our organization wishes him all the best in his hockey career.”

The Grizzlys host the Brooks Bandits (10-5-1) on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Stamps find other means of motivation CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE

FOR GAME AGAINST ROUGHRIDERS CALGARY — It looked like a juicy game on the CFL schedule back in June: the Saskatchewan Roughriders at the Calgary Stampeders on Friday.

The defending Grey Cup champions back at McMahon Stadium to face the 14-4 team they upset there to win last year’s West Division final. The stadium is expected to be equal parts red and green.

What’s missing is the playoff intrigue you’d expect this late in the season between these two football clubs.

The Stampeders (13-2) have already sewn up first in the West with three games still to play. They know they’ll host the division final again Nov. 23.

The Roughriders (9-7) are also playoff bound with two games to go. It’s just a matter of which road game they’ll play. Saskatchewan will either finish third in the West or be the crossover team in the East.

So beyond playing for the win Friday, both clubs will work personnel and systems with the post-season in

mind.

Playing good football going into the playoffs is motivation enough for the Stampeders, says quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell. Calgary also hasn’t forgotten how a stellar season ended badly with a 35-13 loss to Saskatchewan on home turf in last year’s West final.

“We let a team come into our house and celebrate on our field, so we all have that sour taste in our mouths,” Mitchell said Thursday.

“A game is an opportunity to go out and get better. That’s meaningful enough for us.”

Star running back and CFL rushing leader Jon Cornish is taking the game off to heal aches and pains, so Matt Walter will start at halfback.

Receiver Eric Rogers makes his CFL debut in place of the injured Joe West, so Mitchell will work with different targets to advance the football.

“To me, it’s about spreading the ball around, making sure we’re getting to our guys and let those guys go out and make plays, get our running game going like we always do and just become in all three phases better as a football

Royals ready for quirky park as World Series shifts to SF tied

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

a professional. I don’t think it will be a factor.”

One thing will change, for sure. With no designated hitter in the NL park, Morse and Kansas City’s Billy Butler will lose their spots — Morse drove in a run during a 7-1 win in the opener, while Butler already has three hits and a pair of RBIs. With tight foul ground, gusts that whip off the bay, twilight starts and pesky seagulls that hover around in the late innings, a lot of balls become adventures in San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO — Eric Hosmer loaded up, launched a long fly and watched it sail toward McCovey Cove.

Way out there in right field, near the 421-foot mark, the ball bonked off the brick wall.

No splash shot.

“We were definitely trying to hit ’em,” the Kansas City first baseman said. “We took turns trying, but no one did.”

Even so, Hosmer liked what he saw during a workout Thursday as many Royals got their first look at San Francisco’s waterfront ballpark.

Starting in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday against the Giants, they might also discover what makes AT&T Park so unique.

“It’s a little quirky out there,” San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said.

Just wait until someone trips over a bullpen mound chasing a foul ball.

Or somebody loses a fly in the mist that wafts above shallow centre. Or those swirling winds turn a routine popup into an all-out scramble.

Who knows? Might even get a crazy carom off that odd-shaped brick facade on the right-field wall, resulting in the first Series inside-the-park home run since 1929.

“With that brick wall and that chain-link fence, the ball go could go anywhere,” Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain said.

Tim Hudson starts for San Francisco against Jeremy Guthrie as the Royals play their first game in San Francisco since 2005, when they took two of three. Buddy Bell was their manager back then, Tony Graffanino batted third and Jeremy Affeldt was in the bullpen.

The 35-year-old Affeldt now pitches for the Giants and came on in relief Wednesday night in a 7-2 loss. He said he figured the Royals could handle the new park.

“That’s an athletic team over there. So I think they can make adjustments.

I don’t think we’ll go in thinking that they’re at a disadvantage because of not being at our ballpark,” he said.

Seven players on the Royals’ 25-man roster have played at AT&T Park with other teams. Of the most frequent visitors, Josh Willingham has hit .352 with five homers in 16 games and Omar Infante has batted .307 in 19 games, STATS said.

Among the pitchers, Guthrie did fine in two starts and Jason Frasor made two relief appearances.

Cain played one game at the stadium in 2010 when he was with Milwaukee.

The AL Championship Series MVP practiced with coach Rusty Kuntz to gauge the bounces.

Good luck, Giants designated hitter Michael Morse said.

“It’s a big park; right Honda Powersports Canada field is tricky. The wind does a lot of different things in the outfield, so our guys are used to it,” he said. “It’s tough. It’s tough out there. But everybody’s

Durant was expected to come off Saskatchewan’s six-game injured list this week and perhaps dress Friday, but the Roughriders have extended his stay on the injured list.

“He’s making tremendous strides in his rehab, but for cap purposes and management, that was the smartest thing to do until we see he’s at least in the 85-to-90 per cent range so we know exactly what we’re going to get,” Roughrider head coach Corey Chamblin told reporters Thursday in Regina.

The CFL’s top two running backs will be absent Friday. Saskatchewan running back Anthony Allen, who ranks second in rushing yards (849) behind Cornish (977), will sit out with reported back spasms.

Riding a four-game losing streak, the Roughriders need some confidence heading into a bye week and into the playoffs next month.

“You want to go into the playoffs with confidence and feeling good about yourself,” Saskatchewan defensive end Ricky Foley said.

“You don’t want to go in on a sixgame losing streak.

“You don’t want that locker-room in Calgary to say, ’We beat them without Cornish. We didn’t even have our best player and we still won.’ We want to be kind of saying that these last couple of games (that Riders won) without Darian.”

team,” Calgary’s quarterback said.

“The guys that are in, the guys that are replacing some guys who are banged up, they have a chance to get better. You don’t know going into playoffs who you are going to lose and how many you’re going to get back. Everybody’s got to be ready to go.”

Calgary downed the Roughriders 31-24 in Regina on Oct. 3, when Drew Tate drew in as starter for the injured Mitchell.

The Stampeder defence will get a look at Roughrider quarterback Kerry Joseph. In his first game since coming out of retirement, the 41-year-old was 17-for-36 in passing for 213 yards and two touchdowns Sunday in a 24-19 loss to Edmonton. Joseph was intercepted twice.

“Kerry showed he still has the big arm,” Stampeder head coach John Hufnagel said.

“He still can hurt you with his legs.

They did a lot more offence that I expected. He’s been able to pick a lot of things up quickly. He’s a veteran that knows how to win football games. He definitely has improved their team.”

Joseph is Saskatchewan’s third starting quarterback since Darian Durant tore a tendon in his elbow Sept. 7 in a 30-24 win over Winnipeg. The Riders are 1-5 since then with youngsters Tino Sunseri and Seth Doege both under centre before Joseph’s arrival.

Broncos beat up on the Chargers

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — Emmanuel Sanders waited six long weeks to join the list of players who have caught a touchdown pass from Peyton Manning. Now, he has four in less than a week.

Manning and Sanders connected for a trio of touchdowns Thursday night in the Denver Broncos’ 35-21 victory over the San Diego Chargers.

With the Chargers’ banged-up secondary double-teaming red-hot receiver Demaryius Thomas, Sanders caught TD throws of 2, 31 and 3 yards. The last one followed Chris Harris Jr.’s interception of a flustered Philip Rivers.

“Every week we don’t know where the ball is going to go,” Sanders said.

“The defence really dictates that and what Peyton is seeing. And tonight was just my night.”

Rookie running back Juwan Thompson added two TD runs as the Broncos (6-1) tightened their grip on the AFC West over the Chargers (5-3), who lost their second straight game.

Manning finished 25 of 35 for 286 yards. Sanders caught nine passes for 120 yards, and Ronnie Hillman added 109 yards on 20 carries.

Sanders’ speed, combined with Hillman’s second gear, is the juice GM John Elway had in mind when he said the Broncos could be better this year than they were last season, when they became the first team in NFL history to top 600 points in a season.

“John Elway and his staff went out and wanted to increase our team speed in all phases of the game and I think we’ve done that,” coach John Fox said.

One of Elway’s prized free agent acquisitions last off-season, Sanders called this “wide receivers’ heaven” when he joined the Broncos in the spring. He spent his first five games in a Broncos uniform piling up the yards — 473 of them — but wistfully wishing to become the 45th player to catch a touchdown pass from Manning.

He finally did it by hauling in the first of Manning’s four TD throws Sun-

day night when the five-time MVP broke Brett Favre’s career touchdown throw total (510 to 508).

Each time Thompson scored, Rivers and the Chargers responded with 80-yard drives that ended with touchdown catches by tight end Antonio Gates.

His two scores gave him an NFLbest nine, tied with Denver’s star tight end, Julius Thomas, who was held out of the end zone for the second straight game.

Gates’ first score was a 4-yard grab on fourth down, his second a 10-yard catch with 9 ½ minutes left that made it 35-21.

Rivers finished 30 of 41 for 252 yards with three TDs and two interceptions.

Brandon McManus missed a 53-yard field goal with six minutes remaining, giving the Chargers great field position, but safety Rahim Moore intercepted Rivers’ pass to Malcolm Floyd at the Denver 4 and the Broncos grounded it out from there.

With Sanders having a big day — and his fourth career 100-yard game, all coming with Manning this season — Demaryius Thomas quietly topped 100 yards himself for the fourth straight week, finishing with 105 yards on eight catches. He now has 626 yards in his last four games.

Sanders sliced across the back of the end zone to haul in his first TD from 2 yards out. His second score was a 31-yard beauty in which he roared past cornerback Richard Marshall and hauled in Manning’s pass as he sprinted across the goal line to make it 14-7 with 32 seconds left to in the first half.

Denver’s second scoring drive came after officials reversed a Bubba Caldwell fumble on the kickoff following Rivers’ 2-yard TD strike to Keenan Allen, a score that followed Gates’ 31-yard catch on third-and-20 from the Denver 33.

Neither team started fast offensively with Denver needing three drives to score and San Diego four. But the Broncos’ plan to better control the clock worked.

San Diego Chargers wide receiver Malcom Floyd, center, has his pass broken up

by Denver Broncos’ Kayvon Webster, right and T.J. Ward (43) during the second half of an NFL football game, Thursday, in Denver.

The Broncos were held under 65 snaps just twice last season — both times by San Diego.

The Chargers controlled the clock for more than 38 minutes in both games, including a 27-20 stunner at Denver on a Thursday night in December. That was Manning’s only divisional loss since heading West in 2012 and the Broncos’ only loss at home.

This time, Denver had the ball longer than the Chargers.

Manning was coming off an emotional four-TD performance Sunday night against San Francisco in which he sur-

passed Favre as the NFL’s touchdown pass king. Manning broke another of Favre’s records on this night, albeit a much more obscure one: he now has 16 seasons with 20 or more touchdown passes, one more than Favre.

Manning is approaching another of Favre’s records, too. With his 157th career multiple TD game, Manning is two shy of Favre’s mark in that category.

This marked just the eighth time in league history that a quarterback started a season with seven straight games with multiple touchdowns — and Manning’s done it three of those times.

Compton sits atop leaderboard Out of the playoff picture, Redblacks hope to play spoiler against Als after opening round at CFL McGladrey Classic PGA TOUR

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Erik Compton is happy with where he is in golf, and he’s not referring to his 5-under 65 on Thursday for a share of the lead in the McGladrey Classic.

A return to Sea Island provides an occasion to take stock of how far he has come in the last 13 years, and what Compton refers to as the “hurdles” he didn’t anticipate.

There’s a medical term for these hurdles. It’s called a second heart transplant.

“I’m almost 35 years old. I’ve had a good career in golf, really,” he said.

“Even though I’ve had some time off, I’ve been able to support myself and have a good life.”

Compton remarkably earned a PGA Tour card just four years after he drove himself to the hospital while suffering a heart attack, dodging death until he received a second transplant.

He now is in his fourth straight season on golf’s toughest circuit, and he has shown steady improvement.

The next step is to win, and Compton has been around long enough not to get overly excited about a good start.

He opened with a pair of birdies in the morning chill on the Seaside Course at Sea Island, dropped only one shot and joined Sea Island resident Brian Harman, Michael Thompson and Will MacKenzie in the lead.

Chesson Hadley was among six players one shot behind. More than half of the field was at par or better on a gentle day for scoring.

“I expect I should win this year.

That’s a goal of mine,” Compton said.

“It’s always been a goal, but I think every time I get on the course it becomes more of a realistic expectation.”

Compton first played Sea Island when he competed in the SEC Champi-

onship while at Georgia in 2001.

A few months later, Compton played in the Walker Cup at nearby Ocean Forest.

The first hurdle when he turned pro was realizing that “everybody out here is really, really, really, really good.”

The more serious hurdle was his heart.

Compton had his first transplant when he 12 because of cardiomyopathy, an enlarging of the heart that hinders its ability to pump blood. He had his second in 2008 and ended that year by making the cut in the final PGA Tour event.

His story never gets old, and Compton is happy to tell it, especially if that means bringing attention to the “Donate Life America” campaign. He prefers to look ahead, at the next shot, the next tournament, trying to get the most he can out of his game, just like the guys he is trying to beat.

Compton has reached the FedEx Cup playoff the last two seasons and advanced to the third round at the BMW Championship last month. In the short off-season, he spent more time in the gym trying to get stronger at the recommendation of former Miami Heat guard Ray Allen.

“I went to the gym with him a couple of times and played him for some money games in Miami,” Compton said.

“He was just trying to motivate me to get in better shape. So I worked out a little bit. And then just played five or six rounds with him before I went back on the road.”

Easy money? Compton smiled.

“I got him five ways one day,” he said without mentioning a dollar amount.

Compton played on that Walker Cup team with 2009 U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover along with Bryce Molder and D.J. Trahan, who both went on to win on the PGA Tour. The Britain & Ireland team featured former world No. 1 Luke Donald and Graeme McDowell, the U.S. Open champion at Pebble Beach.

TOOL BOX SALE ON NOW!

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks’ playoff hopes were dashed a long time ago, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t like to make someone else’s life a little more difficult.

The Redblacks (2-13) host Montreal (7-8) Friday night at TD Place and would love to make the Alouettes road to an East Division title a lot tougher.

Montreal is currently tied with Hamilton (7-8) for the lead in the East.

The Redblacks, losers of their last two, will have their work cut out for them as the Alouettes have won their last four games and have defeated Ottawa twice this season.

“I enjoy playing the Alouettes and beating the Alouettes and hopefully that’s what we do tomorrow,” said linebacker Jason Pottinger. “We’ve let them beat us twice this season and it’s not a good feeling. It’s a not good feeling losing to anybody, but I really hate losing to Montreal.”

Earlier this season both the Redblacks and Alouettes were struggling to find any success, but Montreal has turned its season around while the

Redblacks continue to struggle.

“They started off slow just like we did, but found a way to start pulling off the wins,” Pottinger said. “It’s something we couldn’t figure out, but we’ve got three games left and we’ve got a chance to prove that we’ll be a team to be reckoned with next season.”

Much of the Alouettes’ success coincides with quarterback Jonathan Crompton taking over. Crompton comes to Ottawa with a 6-1 record to his credit, although he hasn’t posted great numbers against the Redblacks.

In the two victories against the Ottawa, he’s 29-for-54 (53.7 per cent) for 426 yards with three interceptions and no touchdown passes.

The previous two games between these teams were anything but pretty, and Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris anticipates much of the same for Friday.

“It’s been two tight battles against Montreal,” Burris said. “It’s a game I’m definitely looking forward to. It was a physical game last time and there were some knick-knack things that happened here and there and those guys have a hot streak going on.”

The Redblacks are expected to give rookie backup quarterback Danny O’Brien some playing time during Friday’s game as they would like to get a better look at the 24-year-old.

BASEL, Switzerland â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canadian fourth seed Milos Raonic struggled for well over two hours Thursday before finally earning a 6-4, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (2) win over Donald Young to reach the quarter-finals of the Swiss Indoors tennis tournament.

Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., could have closed out a straight-sets win in less than 90 minutes. Instead, Young claimed a tiebreaker to take the match into a deciding third set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were there I have to do differently and not put myself in that situation,â&#x20AC;? said Raonic, making his Basel debut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, the most important thing was to win, no matter how.â&#x20AC;?

Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vasek Pospisil, semi-finalist a year ago against Roger Federer, fell 6-2, 6-2 in his second round match against fifth-seeded Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grigor played well, I was not myself, it felt similar to last year,â&#x20AC;? Pospisil said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just burned out mentally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough match, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take anything away form him. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a heavy schedule. Since March Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been home nine days.â&#x20AC;?

Federer, the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top seed, had to fight back from a set down before beating Denis Istomin 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals. The Swiss star will face Dimitrov in the next round.

Raonic now stands 45 points behind Andy Murray in the race to next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight-man World Tour Finals in London, with the Scot also winning his second-round match in Valencia.

David Ferrer, one spot behind Raonic, also produced a win in Spain as the chase tightens with this week and next at Paris Bercy to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if I was counting the points, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irrelevant as everyone (in the race) is still playing,â&#x20AC;? said Raonic, who served as a non-playing substitute in London a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot I can do about it except to concentrate on my game.â&#x20AC;?

Raonic next plays Belgian David Goffin, who has risen to a 28th ranking with solid play all season. Raonic faced him in 2011 in a Wimbledon match which did not conclude as Goffin retired after losing the first set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing great tennis, he tries to move you around with forehand and backhand and he returns

pair of errors which led Young back into contention at 5-all.

The American took advantage of a Raonic error to earn a set point, then levelled at a set each when Raonicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forehand went wide.

In the third set, Raonic recovered from a doublefault and an error which sent him to love-30 in the 11th game, holding his nerve for a 6-5 lead. When Young sent that set into a tiebreak, it came down to Raonic to finish off the victory with his 22nd ace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a lot of tough moments to squeeze through,â&#x20AC;?

Raonic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the second set he fought hard and found a way. I had a few lucky breaks overall to win it.â&#x20AC;?

Federer struggled in the opening set, and even walked toward his chair early in the first game before realizing there was still a point to play.

Istomin had taken just a set off Federer in five previous meetings, last year in Basel, but the Uzbekistan player took the lead after breaking in the sixth game. However, Federer fought back and took a commanding lead in the second set after breaking when Istomin hit a backhand long.

Istomin battled to stay in the match and saved seven break points in the final set before finally succumbing to Federer in the third game and the second-ranked home favourite went on to clinch the match with a love service game.

Eighth-seeded Ivo Karlovic also advanced after coming from a set down to defeat qualifier Kenny De Schepper of France 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-3 in just under 2 hours.

The Croatian will face Benjamin Becker in the quarter-finals. The German eased through after Mikhail Kukushkin, who had upset Stanislas Wawrinka in the opening round, retired when trailing 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4), 4-0.

Borna Coric set up a quarter-final against childhood idol Rafael Nadal as the 17-year-old Croatian comfortably beat Andrey Golubev 6-4, 6-4.

To compensate for a light schedule of games, Morris and his teammates intend to get together for regular training camps where the emphasis will be as much on communication as throwing rocks.

“A lot of the things we’re doing this week, it’s not all on-ice stuff,” Morris said. “A lot of stuff we’re doing is behind in the scenes, in the conference room, in the boardroom in team dynamics, team communication and strategy to get on the same page and

really get a good dynamic going that way.

“It helps we know each other. We’ve played against each other long enough that we do know our tendencies. It will take a few bonspiels under our belt to really start molding and gelling, but I don’t have a big concern with this team. I think we’re pretty much on the same page already.”

The Home Hardware Canada Cup is Dec. 3-7 in Camrose. The World Financial Group Continental Cup, which is a Ryder-Cup style event against European teams, is Jan. 8-11 in Calgary.

The Tim Hortons Brier runs Feb. 28 to March 8 at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary.

Jets coach says Evander Kane recovering well and could be skating again soon

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — As they prepare to fight for their second home win of the season, the Winnipeg Jets and their struggling offence can look forward to Evander Kane returning to the lineup sometime soon.

The Jets (2-4-0) host the Tampa Bay Lightning (4-2-1) Friday night. While they won’t have Kane back that soon, head coach Paul Maurice said Thusday his sniper should be back in practice soon.

“Evander Kane is progressing quite well, to the point where we have an expectation here in the next few days that he’ll be back on IR (injured reserve) skates,” Paul Maurice. “Non main group skates, so nobody runs into a guy.

“But he’ll be back on the ice some-

time this week and then after that it’s as much about strength and healing time.”

Kane has been off for two weeks after hurting his knee in a collision with linemate Mark Scheifele in Winnipeg’s season opener and first win, 6-2 over the Arizona Coyotes. They then went on a four-game slide they only reversed with their second win Tuesday night, their first at home, 3-1 against the still winless Carolina Hurricanes.

The team wants for more from Kane this season after he missed a good chunk of last year with injuries that limited him to 63 games. They put him on a line with Scheifele and last season’s scoring leader Blake Wheeler.

They were hoping for a return to something like the career-high, 30-goal peformance in 74 games he delivered in 2011-12, when the team relocated from Atlanta to Winnipeg.

CALGARY — John Morris’s curling team has a double challenge in this “completely unusual” season.

As the first team to wear the Maple Leaf at the Canadian men’s curling championship, Morris, third Pat Simmons, second Carter Rycroft and lead Nolan Thiessen will attempt to peak for the Tim Hortons Brier next March in Calgary while playing fewer events this winter.

So Morris has fewer games in which to develop chemistry with his new teammates. He was recruited to skip the team earlier this year when Kevin Koe departed to call shots for an entirely new team.

“We didn’t put this team together if we didn’t think we could be the best team in the world, so we’re putting a lot of hard work in,” Morris said Wednesday at the Glencoe Curling Club in Calgary.

“We’re not playing as much on tour.

We’re not going every weekend to a different city in Canada. What we’re doing this year is we’re putting a lot of time in the preparation.”

The four men were in the middle of a training camp in Calgary, which is unique in itself. Men’s teams at that level tend to play more games and practice less. But almost everything about the Morris team’s season is different.

The Canadian Curling Association introduced a men’s Team Canada to the Brier in 2015 in order to mirror the women’s national championship, the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The defending women’s champion has earned a bye to the following year’s women’s championship since 1985.

It adds a strong team to the field and gives the organizing committee a team to market for the event. Koe, Simmons, Rycroft and Thiessen won

the 2014 Brier in Kamloops, B.C. They happened to beat a B.C. team skipped

by Morris in the final.

Koe made the stunning announcement following the world championship in April that he was forming a new team with Marc Kennedy, Brent Laing and Ben Hebert.

So the skip of the first team to earn the Maple Leaf for the following year’s Brier abdicated that right. What’s more, Koe is a Calgarian and the Brier is in his hometown.

Koe can still qualify for the Brier by winning the Alberta men’s championship. Morris and Simmons, who are Calgarians, and the Edmonton front end of Rycroft and Thiessen get to bypass provincial playdowns completely as Team Canada.

“Completely unusual,” Rycroft said.

“Usually you have two parts to the season. You have your bonspiels leading up to the cash events and Slams. Then you have the Brier playdowns, zones, districts.”

But when Morris came aboard, the four men agreed that after devoting so much time and travel to prepare for last year’s Olympic trials with their respective teams, jobs and families had to be more of a priority in 2014-15.

Morris will play in the Brier, Canada Cup and Continental Cup of Curling which are all conveniently located in Alberta this winter.

They’ll play in the Skins Game in Banff, Alta., and their World Curling Tour events will be limited to four Grand Slams.

“The most exciting part of being Team Canada is to play in your province,” Rycroft said. “With my new baby boy and my business, it couldn’t be better for me not to have to get on a plane and travel an extra day on either end.

“Now I can get in a car and drive to where I need to go and curl and that’s great.”

Ottawa teams helping healing process

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — On Friday night, the CFL’s Ottawa Redblacks will return to the field.

The NHL’s Senators will take the ice Saturday.

Neither game has much significance in the standings — the Redblacks are playing out their disappointing inaugural season while the Sens are just getting their campaign started.

But after Wednesday’s brazen attack on Parliament Hill, the games have become something more than just sporting events. Players on both teams say they hope it will help lift the heartbroken city’s spirits and begin the healing process.

“I think it shows we are defiant to outside threats or acts of terrorism,” said Jeff Hunt, president of the Ottawa Sports & Entertainment Group, which owns the Redblacks. “We’re going to continue to live as Canadians and enjoy our lives and enjoy our freedoms. A sporting event is never more important than after something like what happened here in Ottawa.”

The Redblacks game against the Montreal Alouettes will be the first large scale public gathering since Wednesday’s shooting at the National War Memorial and Parliament Hill.

Both the Senators, who host the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, and Redblacks said fans should expect increased security measures.

The Senators said in a release that all patrons will be screened with hand-held metal detectors and have their bags searched before they will be granted access on all future event days at Canadian Tire Centre.

Both teams, however, preferred the focus be on the resiliency of Ottawa residents and sports fans.

“Friday night I think the Redblacks game and our game Saturday that it will be real special to see a cool at-

Players from both the Ottawa RedBlacks and Ottawa Senators hope this weekends home games will help lift the city’s spirits and healing process after Wednesday’s attack on Parliament Hill. mosphere and see everybody come together and show our support for everybody involved through the game,” said Senators forward Kyle Turris.

“Anything we can do to help with spirits or take our minds off things we’ll be happy to do.”

The Redblacks will hold a pre-game tribute in memory of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was shot and killed Wednesday, as well as two Canadian soldiers who were attacked Monday in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was killed and another Canadian soldier was injured in that attack when a man deliberately drove a car into them.

The Senators will also be holding a moment of silence in honour of the week’s events, a special ceremony and anthem presentation. The team is asking fans to wear red to the

game in honour of Canada’s military personnel and first responders.

“When this happens hockey takes a backseat, it really is secondary with a tragic incident like this,” said Senators Sports & Entertainment president Cyrill Leeder. “But hockey is important to Canadians and to our community here and we think we will be an important part of that moving forward process for the community.”

Both organizations employ a number of local players who said Wednesday’s events left them shaken, but also incredibly proud.

“It’s unsettling for sure and it’s sad to see,” said Senators defenceman Mark Borowiecki, who grew up in an Ottawa suburb. “We’re such a small community and you’ve got such a small town feel here that sometimes you kind of forget

that we are a major city and we’re the capital of a major western country.”

Senators’ defenceman Cody Ceci, who also grew up in Ottawa, had a number of family members working in the downtown core and worried about their safety until he was able to make contact with them.

Much was the same for the local members of the Redblacks, who will take particular pride representing their community on Friday.

“It’s special to be able to play in front of my hometown and help people take their minds off the tragedy of what happened,” said fullback John Delahunt. “When events like this happen Canadians seem to unite so I definitely expect to see a great sense of patriotism from the fans. I’m sure it will be an emotional anthem and we can all reflect on what a great country we live in.”

Players from both organizations spoke of the surreal scope of emotions that went through their minds as events unfolded through the day.

“It’s scary how something like that can happen,” said Senators defenceman Chris Phillips. “At the same time, as bad as it is, you get a sense of safety with it seeing what a great job the emergency teams did of containing it.”

Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell said Wednesday’s events put the importance of sports in perspective.

“We always talk in football like you have to act as if it’s the most important thing in the world because it’s such a competitive sport,” Campbell said. “But you have to realize that it really isn’t, that there are a lot more important things in the world.”

Players said they had no concern for their own personal safety despite the shooting.

“I’m sure the security will be top notch and it’s important to get back to our lives as we know it,” Delahunt said.

“As Canadians we can’t let an event like (Wednesday’s) change our lives and how we live it.”

Defensive lineman Keith Shologan said it’s natural that there will be some safety concerns, but he doesn’t expect it will keep anyone from coming to the game.

“We live in Canada, we live in a peaceful place and these things don’t happen very often and I think that’s why when they do they hurt so much,” Shologan said. “If you let things like that affect you then the terrorists are winning.”

The Senators game against the Toronto Maple Leafs scheduled for Wednesday night was rescheduled for November 9.

This marked the second time the Senators have had a game postponed in light of violent events. Ottawa was in Boston preparing to play the Bruins in April 2013 when bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon.

TORONTO — Defenceman T.J. Brennan was preparing for life in the New York Islanders system when he received an all too familiar phone call.

The Islanders were trading Brennan to the Chicago Blackhawks as part of a fourplayer deal. Brennan was on the move again, heading to his fifth organization since March 2013.

Nearly three weeks later, Brennan is still feeling the effects of yet another trade.

“It definitely hurts me a bit in my pride column. It hurt my confidence a little bit,” said Brennan, now playing with Chicago’s American Hockey League affiliate.

“I thought I deserved the chance to be up there, but I guess you’ve got to keep moving forward and maybe that just wasn’t my break.

“There could be opportunity here in Chicago.”

Despite being traded for the third time in 19 months, Brennan said nothing prepares you for that phone call.

“I don’t think you ever really get used to it. Its’ a crazy business,” he said. “You definitely have a better understanding of that, but it’s definitely something that always comes as a surprise.

“I think the most we can do as people is always try and look at the positives to every new situation. It’s something that I’m going through right now is trying to stay positive and trying to keep looking forward and looking at things as opportunity.”

The 25-year-old has a goal and five penalty minutes through the first five games of the season with the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs, which included stops in Hamilton and Toronto over the weekend.

“It’s definitely been a different path than I’ve expected over the past year or two and just trying to persevere through it and hopefully get some good breaks along the way,” he said.

Originally a Buffalo Sabres second-round draft pick (31st overall in 2007), Brennan was dealt to the Florida Panthers in March 2013. At the conclusion of the 2012-13 season, the Panthers traded him to the Nashville Predators. As a restricted free agent, Brennan was not qualified by the Predators in the summer of 2013 allowing him to sign wherever he pleased.

Boston Bruins defenceman Dougie Hamilton (27) slides on the ice after colliding with New York Islanders defenceman T.J. Brennan (4) during the second period of an NHL preseason hockey game in Boston, Sept. 30, 2014. Brennan was preparing for life in the New York Islanders system when he received an all too familiar phone call. The Islanders were trading Brennan to the Chicago Blackhawks as part of a four-player deal.

Brennan signed a two-way contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs last summer and enjoyed his most successful season as a professional.

The Willingboro, N.J., native had 24 goals and 72 points in 76 regular season games — seven points shy of the Marlies single-season record. For his efforts, Brennan was named recipient of the Eddie Shore Award as the league’s top defenceman.

However, Brennan was unable to parlay his successful 2013-14 campaign into a more significant look at the next level.

“Obviously I want to think I’m an NHL defenceman, that’s what everyone tells me and that’s what I want to believe,” he said. “But I still have some lessons to learn here in the AHL apparently and that’s what I’m trying to do this year.”

Part of what Brennan needs to work on is the defensive side of his game. Despite the numbers he produced last season, he still carried a minus-10 rating. He has been a minus player in each season since 2011-12, the year he got his first taste of NHL action with the Sabres.

IceHogs head coach Ted Dent had a meeting with Brennan following the trade to discuss what he had to work on to get back to the NHL where Brennan has four goals and

11 points in 40 games with the Sabres and Panthers.

“Basically it’s his play away from the puck, not being so high-risk, going on end-to-end rushes sort of letting the puck do a little more work for him as well,” said Dent.

Current Marlies head coach Gord Dinnen, who was in charge of the defencemen last season while Steve Spott was the head coach, says it’s tough to watch a player who loves the game so much struggle to get to the next level.

“He had a learning curve, that he’s had to sort of change his game - he’s definitely an offensive player, just trying to get him a little more responsible defensively,” said Dinnen.

“Anybody that’s as committed to the game as him, you’d like to see him get that opportunity.”

Brennan is using former teammate Drew MacIntyre as motivation. MacIntyre didn’t get his first NHL start until the 2013-14 season — as a 30-yearold in his 11th professional season.

“That’s something that kind of keeps you modest through this,” said Brennan. “You see guys that have had it way harder than you and deal with it probably better than you are.

Hockey’s a crazy business.

“You can’t take things personal here and at the end of the day, you’re still playing hockey for a living.”

Conservation anniversary celebrated

Astronauts heave items overboard INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astronauts doubled as trash men Wednesday, heaving an old science experiment and two antennas overboard at the International Space Station.

It was the third spacewalk in as many weeks outside the orbiting lab. This time, it was on the Russian side of the house and went so well that it wrapped up more than two hours early.

Russian spaceman Alexander Samokutyaev used his left gloved hand to shove the antennas away one by one, five minutes apart. He paused dramatically before letting the second one loose, for a better camera view.

The dish antennas — up to 2.5 feet (0.7 metres) long — resembled white umbrellas. The first one spun as it drifted away.

“It looks like it’s going to rain: Antennas are flying low,” someone said in Russian.

A couple of hours earlier, spacewalker Maxim Suraev released a seismic experiment, essentially a panel stretching 6 feet (1.8 metres) long and 4.5 feet (1.4 metres) across.

“Three cheers,” someone noted in Russian. “This is an event of some note.”

The panel, shining yellow in the station spotlights, slowly spun in circles as it tumbled away into the blackness 260 miles (418 kilometres) up.

The experiment was launched in 2011 to monitor earthquakes and had completed its job. The antennas were launched in 2009 aboard a Russian miniresearch module; they were determined to be in the way of future spacewalkers.

NASA’s Mission Control in Houston said analyses were conducted to ensure the objects would not come back and smash into the space station.

All three discarded items should orbit for several months, possibly even a year, before burning up in the atmosphere.

The Russian Space Agency, unlike NASA, routinely gets rid of old equipment by setting it loose in orbit.

The spacewalkers joked and chuckled as they worked to remove the antennas from the station’s hull. As Samokutyaev repeatedly opened and closed his cable cutters, Suraev observed, “Don’t cut my finger off.”

“No, I think I will not do that. It’s just too far away to walk to the station,” Samokutyaev replied.

A hard rubber washer almost got away from Samokutyaev, but he managed to catch it. He was urged to keep it as a good luck charm.

Their garbage work completed early, the spacewalkers turned their attention to inspection. They collected samples from windows and elsewhere outside the Russian segment to check for engine exhaust and other materials.

The pair wrapped everything up in 3 ½ hours, versus the originally allotted six hours.

“It seems like we did everything so quickly,” one of the spacewalkers said. “I would like to stay out some more.”

During each of the previous two weeks, American spacewalkers took care of some outside maintenance.

The crew now gets a break: The next spacewalk isn’t until January.

Altogether, six people live on the orbiting lab: three Russians, two Americans and one German.

ecosystems healthy, he said. Along with fish, birds are particularly dependent on rivers, so more of Yellowstone to Yukon’s efforts are turning toward protecting waterways.

“Intact river systems that still have the full process of flooding are actually the spinal cord of the landscape,” Locke said.

“Between the bears, which give us the landscape, and the river corridors, which give us structures needed for aquatic species and birds, we feel we’ve got a pretty good handle on what it will take to keep this wonderful mountain system alive.”

Yellowstone to Yukon still faces major challenges, some in Canada.

Protecting the Flathead Valley in southeastern British Columbia is crucial to bears trying to move back and forth across the border, said Locke. And B.C.’s plans for the Site C dam would flood a huge area of land along the Peace River “dead centre” in the whole corridor.

In Alberta, energy and forestry development continues to degrade habitat on the eastern slopes of

the Rockies.

The Yukon government’s decision to drastically scale back conservation plans for the Peel watershed — now being challenged in the courts — is a threat on the northern end.

In the south, Yellowstone National Park still risks being relegated to being a conservation “island.”

But Yellowstone to Yukon has made great strides both in the landscape and in public consciousness, said Locke.

“I really sense a difference for how a broad crosssection of people in this landscape are perceiving where we live. It’s really quite interesting how having a unifying idea helps people to think about where they fit into a bigger whole.

“In the past, people like me would tell the story, ’This is the best of the last — if we can’t save it here we can’t save it anywhere.’

“What we now believe is that Yellowstone to Yukon should become the first of the rest. We can establish a new norm for how humans ought to live in the world.”

EDMONTON — Environmentalists are basking in a warm glow of satisfaction this week as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of the largest and most successful conservation programs on the planet.

“We’re trying to share some good news with people,” said Harvey Locke, one of the founding members of the Yellowstone to Yukon project, which is slowly creating a vast, interconnected network of protected mountain landscapes down the western spine of North America.

“In the 1980s, we discovered that national parks as islands would not maintain their qualities through time,” Locke said.

“Even our biggest parks are vulnerable to losing their biggest animals over time unless they were part of a much larger system.”

Slowly, through agreements with provincial and state governments, aboriginal groups and private landowners, that larger system began to emerge.

Including national parks and other conservation designations, there are now 676,000 square kilometres of protected land between the northern tip of the Mackenzie Mountains in the Yukon and Yellowstone’s Rockies in Wyoming. That’s 20 per cent of the total area —about twice what was protected when Locke and others began.

Along the way, scientists have found solutions to persistent problems such as habitat fragmentation.

Disturbances such as highways cut one half of a species population off from the other. In response, Parks Canada created walkways above and below a road surface that allow animals to cross safely.

Those solutions are now admired around the world. Locke is to head a session at the upcoming World Parks Conference in Sydney, Australia, to talk about some of them.

“That’s how Yellowstone to Yukon is perceived in the world — as sort of an exemplar.”

Scientists say preserving large landscapes is the only way to save large predators, considered “umbrella” species, such as wolves or grizzly bears. If grizzlies are found in an area, for example, so will 80 per cent of all other species that are supposed to be there, said Locke.

Saving rivers is the other key in keeping big-scale

EXCLUDES FIESTA AND FOCUS

The government is trying to identify up to 20 hospitals around the country that are designated Ebola referral centres. An emphasis has been on reviewing hospitals in the five cities with airports where all travellers from West Africa are now being funneled.

The FAST teams have already been sent to three of them — New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. The other two cities are Atlanta and Newark.

The government hopes to release a list of primary Ebola hospitals in those five cities this week, CDC officials said.

Meanwhile, federal,

ATLANTA — New federal Ebola response squads — likened to public health SWAT teams — are being readied to rush to any U.S. city where a new Ebola case might be identified, officials say.

Meanwhile, the government has formed a second set of teams to prepare hospitals in cities deemed most likely to see a new Ebola case, should one turn up. Three of those teams have already been sent out.

Health officials this week first shared details about the two sets of health squads.

The teams are “ready to go — boom — if we have another case of Ebola,” said Dr. Jordan Tappero, one of the leaders of CDC’s Ebola response effort.

The government has been criticized for its handling of the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian, came down with Ebola symptoms last month, a few days after arriving in Dallas from West Africa.

He was admitted to a Dallas hospital in late September and died Oct. 8.

Duncan’s illness and death created public fear as health officials had to track down and monitor scores of people he came in contact with.

No one in the community has been infected, but two nurses who cared for him were. Since then, CDC officials have said they should have sent more people to Dallas when Duncan’s case first surfaced — particularly infection control specialists, who could have provided better guidance to the hospital.

Last week, President Barack Obama announced a push for a faster federal reaction.

“We want a rapid response team, a SWAT team essentially, from the CDC to be on the ground as quickly as possible, hopefully within 24 hours, so that they are taking the local hospital step by step though what needs to be done,” he said.

state or local officials have already named some hospitals. CDC officials confirmed that one is Emory University Hospital in Atlanta — which already has been treating Ebola patients. In Chicago, local health officials this week said four leading hospitals have agreed to handle Ebola patients — Rush University Medical Center, the University of Chicago Medical Center, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. New York state officials have said they have designated eight hospitals to handle patients diagnosed with Ebola: New York City’s Bellevue Hospital Center, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, Montefiore Hospital Center; North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System; Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse; University of Rochester Medical Center, and Stony Brook University Hospital on Long Island.

Murder suspect denied bail JASON KLAUS CHARGED WITH KILLED THREE FAMILY MEMBERS NEAR CASTOR

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Bail has been denied for a Castor man accused with an alleged accomplice of killing his parents and sister, and then setting fire to the family home.

The bodies of Gordon Klaus, 61 and his daughter, Monica, 40, were found in the rubble left after fire destroyed their farmhouse near Castor on Dec. 8.

Police alleged at the time that the family dog was found outside of the house, shot dead,

In addition, Gordon’s wife, Sandra, 62, was missing.

Months later, police issued further statements alleging that Sandra Klaus had also died in the house and that her body was consumed in the blaze.

Months of investigation led to the arrest on Aug. 15 of Jason Gordon Klaus, 41, and co-accused Joshua Gregory Frank, 29.

Each man was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and a single count of arson.

Represented by Red Deer defence counsel Richard Fritze and Jason Snider, Klaus applied for bail before

Justice John Little in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Wednesday and Thursday.

He sat quietly in the prison box during the bail hearing, hunched forward most of the time, and making eye contact from time to time with his girlfriend and her mother, who watched from the public gallery.

Fritze and Snider had proposed a release plan in which Klaus would reside with his girlfriend’s mother until the end of the year, and then move into his girlfriend’s house next door.

The plan was not addressed upon Little’s announcement that he would

deny bail.

Evidence from the hearing, including the reasons behind Little’s decision, cannot be published because of a ban requested by Klaus’s defence.

Frank has not yet applied for release.

Both men have made a number of appearances in Red Deer provincial court to address the charges against them, but have not yet entered their pleas.

Their next appearance is set for Red Deer provincial court on Monday, Nov. 3. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

JAIL & BAIL

STETTLER

Pit bull attack case delayed

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

Bert and Anne Bell found themselves locked up Thursday and hitting the phones trying to drum up bail money to get them sprung from jail at the Parkland Mall. The husband and wife joined about 20 other volunteers or perhaps the ‘voluntold’ to get on the phones for donations if they wanted to be released by their captors. The 27th Annual Jail & Bail in support of the Canadian Cancer Society in Red Deer was aiming to reach their goal of raising $20,000 in support of local cancer patients and caregivers of cancer patients in the Red Deer Region.

Council to revise Kin Kanyon Concept Plan A revised Kin Kanyon Concept Plan going to council for approval drops a proposed spray park and new community hall.

The previously envisioned spray park isn’t needed since the city opened a similar feature in Rotary Recreation Park last year.

A new Kinsmen Hall to replace the aging and under-used South Hill Community Hall on 34th Street near 47th Avenue was also proposed in the original 2010 concept plan. But the Kinsmen Club

isn’t looking for a new hall there so it has been dropped. The existing community hall will still be demolished.

Among other changes is the replacement of one of two boarded hockey rinks with a snowbank rink, some minor pathway tweaks, and the relocation of some picnic spaces and the washrooms (already constructed at their new location).

Once the spray rock reaches the end of its lifespan, it is recommended the 1980s feature be removed and replaced with more picnic areas. A public open house to show off the proposed changes only drew about a dozen people. Suggestions such as an outdoor fitness park or more senior-focused amenities will be consid-

ered in the future.

Council will also consider: ●A Red Deer Alcohol and Drug Strategy built around prevention, treatment, harm reduction and community safety.

The report calls on the city to endorse the strategy and establish a leadership committee to bring stakeholders together to implement the recommendations. ●Council will consider a notice of motion by Coun. Buck Buchanan to explore the potential to set up a collision reporting centre in Red Deer. The centre have been set up elsewhere and allow those involved in minor collisions to report to a civilian centre, which frees up police officers.

Former Advocate editor to read from her first novel at RDC library in early November A former Red Deer Advocate editor will be in Red Deer next month to read from her first novel, Bird’s Eye View.

Elinor Florence will be at Red Deer College library on Nov. 7 from 1 to 2:30 and at Chapters on Nov. 8 from noon to 4 p.m. Both events are open to the public.

Florence, now of Invermere, B.C., worked at the Advocate from 1978 to 1987.

She is one of three authors who will appear at those locations to read from their books, sign copies and respond to questions.

Bird’s Eye View, published by Dundurn Press of Toronto, explores a little known aspect of aviation. The story features a young woman from Saskatchewan whose fictional home town becomes an air training base in the Second World War.

Fired with enthusiasm, the woman joins the Royal Canadian Air Force Women’s Division and becomes an aerial photo interpreter in England, where she spies on the enemy from the sky.

Florence grew up on a former wartime airfield near North Battleford, Sask. She worked as a journalist in all four Western provinces, and was a regular contributor to Reader’s Digest. Florence writes a weekly blog called Wartime Wednesdays, telling true stories of Canadian wartime.

She will appear in Red Deer with two other Western authors who collectively call themselves The War Birds for the period of history they write about.

Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail of Edmonton will introduce her new book called Polar Winds: A Century of Flying the North.

The book explores the history of air travel in the north from the Klondike Gold Rush to the present. It considers exploration flights to the North Pole, flying school buses for residential schools and indigenous pilots performing mercy flights.

Ann Gafiuk of Calgary will bring out the fourth printing of her book Wings Over High River: The Biography of BCATP Pilot Instructor. The book tells the story of veteran pilot Gordon Jones, who taught rookie airmen how to fly at the No. 5 Flying Training School in High River during the Second World War. Red Deer College Library is located on the college campus at 100 College Blvd. Chapters is located at 10 5250 22nd St. in Red Deer.

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

The court case around an alleged pit bull attack that killed a family’s beloved Labrador has been put over until next month.

A Stettler dog owner has been charged under the county’s dog control bylaw with having a dog running at large and having a dog that attacked or injured another person or animal.

The first charge carries a fine of $80. The second charge calls for an automatic court appearance with no specified penalty.

“That means it’s up to the court to decide a penalty under that section,” said Kevin Duval, an officer with Alberta Animal Services who is familiar with the case. The bylaw allows for fines from $500 to $5,000.

The judge, should they choose, also has the authority to determine whether the dog should be considered vicious.

The case was in court briefly on Thursday before being adjourned until Nov. 27.

Wanda Webster, whose dog Hershey was attacked and killed in her acreage yard on Sept. 15, is hoping for quick action because she is convinced the dogs are dangerous.

“I’m not very happy. But we kind of expected it,” said Webster.

Since the attack, Webster has been frustrated by the bureaucracy around dangerous and vicious dogs, which are dealt with under both the county’s dog control bylaw and the province’s Dangerous Dog Act. She has lobbied the county to tighten its bylaw, after the pit bulls were released back to their owner less than a day after the attack. Webster believes dogs in these kinds of incidents should be held until they have been assessed to determine whether they are vicious.

The bylaw is under review by county staff.

Further complicating this case is that the owner and his dogs do not reside in the county.

Under the county’s dog control bylaw, an animal control officer can declare a dog vicious.

But that doesn’t cover dogs that don’t live in the county.

The province’s Dangerous Dog Act also has provisions to declare dogs vicious, but it applies to dogs that attack people, not other animals.

Cody Zimmer, of Stettler, is expected to enter pleas on the two bylaw charges at the next court date. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Small wildfire burning Light rains overnight on Wednesday have helped bring a small wildfire under control.

Earlier this month, provincial forestry officials reported that a wildfire had broken out in an area of the Clearwater Forest, southwest of the David Thompson Resort, located on the west side of Abraham Lake.

As of Thursday morning, the fire had burned 30 acres of forest in the area and was being managed by one helicopter crew and 28 firefighters.

Wildfire information officer Janelle Lane said in an update issued on Thursday that plans are still underway for a prescribed burn at Blackstone Gap, which is in the backcountry north of Abraham Lake.

Lane said the area is overgrown and at high risk for a large fire. A burn has been prescribed to create a fire break, improve the health of the forest and promote wildlife habitat.

Break-in suspects charged Police have laid charges against two men suspected of casing a Red Deer neighbourhood and breaking into at least one home.

Red Deer City RCMP were notified shortly after noon on Oct. 15 of suspicious activities in the Rosedale neighbourhood. Investigators were told that two men had been knocking on doors in the area. If someone answered, the suspects then stated that they were responding to an online ad about a bike for sale and must have the wrong address.

Suspects attempted to flee when they saw police arrive in the area, but were tracked down by a police service dog, RCMP Cpl. Derek Turner said in a press statement on Thursday.

Two men, aged 36 and 38, have been charged with breaking into a residential property, possessing break-in instruments and resisting or obstructing police officers.

Both men remain in custody pending their next court appearances, set for Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday morning.

Anyone with additional information that may aid the investigation is asked to contact Const. David Illi of the Red

Helping the new prospective home buyer

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR

THE HOME PROGRAM

For most people, purchasing a home is the biggest financial transaction of their lives. Yet many do so with little or no formal instruction.

The Home Program helps fill this void by providing prospective buyers with education, counselling, referrals and other assistance in their quest for a house to call their own. Launched in Edmonton in 2001, the program has been offered in Red Deer, but disappeared in recent years.

Correna Rae, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Ontrack Realty, resurrected the program in Red Deer in January, and has led subsequent sessions in April and September.

She’s offering the next Nov. 20 and 22.

“We’ve got some really excellent presenters who have committed their time and gotten involved,” said Rae. These include Angela Epp, a mort-

gage broker with Mortgage Alliance Advance Mortgage of Red Deer; Jeff Ferguson, a home inspector with Home Safe N’ Sound Inspections Ltd. of Red Deer; and Lani Rouillard, a lawyer with Rouillard Law Office in Sylvan Lake. Rae will share her knowledge as a Realtor. Slated to run a total of six hours, the two sessions will provide an overview of home ownership, discuss affordability issues, and review the process of obtaining a mortgage, shopping for a home and completing the transaction. There is no cost to attend, and those who take part can obtain individual counselling and even apply for financial assistance of up to 2 ½ per cent of the purchase price of a home.

To qualify for that funding, the homebuyer must use a Realtor who participates in The Home Program, with that Realtor then contributing a portion of his or her commission back to the program.

However, those who take the educational sessions are under no obligation to use those Realtors, said Rae. “They’re free to do whatever they want to do. The program itself is designed to keep the consumer educated and to make sure they’ve still got choice.”

There is no maximum income requirement for those seeking to register for the educational courses and/or the broader program, she added.

“A multimillionaire can sit through it, and then if they want to use the program they’re welcome to.

“We don’t want to focus in on any particular group. It’s for anybody who’s interested in purchasing at all.”

Rae thinks the educational benefits of The Home Program are huge, particularly for those who are unsure whether they should buy or how to proceed.

“When you don’t know what you don’t know, a lot of people don’t move forward.

“They don’t have the means to make an educated decision on anything.”

The educational component provides participants with objective information, said Rae, which might even convince them that they’re not ready for home ownership.

The Home Program has been offered primarily in Calgary and Edmonton, but Rae is determined to make it easily accessible to Central Albertans as well. She hopes to run the educational sessions here four times a year.

“I just think it’s a fantastic program.”

The Home Program is supported by the Alberta Real Estate Association’s Affordable Housing Initiative, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the Alberta Real Estate Foundation and the Capital Regional Housing’s CTD Housing Solutions.

Additional information about the program and the upcoming Red Deer sessions can be obtained by calling Rae at 403-506-9643 or by going to the program’s website at www.thehomeprogram.ca. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Avoid the Christmas crowds and support charity with Red & White Night

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Looking for a way to avoid the crowds when you do your Christmas shopping this year?

Bower Place shopping centre is offering a $10 solution that will also support local charity. It’s staging a special shopping night on Sunday, Nov. 23, when participants will have exclusive access to the mall and its stores from 6 to 9 p.m.

The cost to take part is $10, with all ticket proceeds going to designated charities. These currently consist of Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter, Habitat for Humanity Red Deer, the Heart and Stroke Founda-

tion, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Waskasoo Environmental Education Society.

Each of the charities is selling tickets for the event — which will be called Red & White Night — and can keep all of the money they generate. The proceeds from ticket sales at Bower Place guest services will go to the Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter.

Dallas Hand, retail manager at the shopping centre, said the charities pay nothing to obtain Red & White Night tickets. Other charities are welcome to take part, he added.

“The more we can help, the better,” he said, urging interested groups to contact him at dhand@bentallkennedy. com.

In addition to after-hours access to

Bower Place, attendees will find product discounts, live entertainment, food samples at the food court and more than $10,000 in door prizes.

Those worried about the crowds that Red & White Night will attract can opt for an even more exclusive shopping experience. For $25, they can buy a ticket that will gain them entry to the mall at 5:30 p.m. — and earn them additional items and a $10 Bower Place gift card.

Hand said similar charity shopping events are held elsewhere, including in Toronto and Vancouver. Bower Mall plans to make Red & White Night an annual pre-Christmas event, he confirmed. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Shaw profit beats Q4 estimates, revenue slightly short of analyst expectations

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Shaw Communications Inc. (TSX:SJR.B) is focusing on growing its wireless Internet offerings while continuing to deal with declining cable and satellite TV subscriptions.

CEO Brad Shaw said the company will continue to remain flexible in providing customers what they want, when they want it — whether that be Wi-Fi, telephone or television services.

“We are focused on strengthening our strategy of being the leading content and network company,” Shaw told analysts during a conference call following the company’s latest earnings release. “We remain committed to providing our subscribers with greater choice and flexibility over what they watch, how they watch and when they watch their favourite content.”

Shaw reported a 64 per cent boost in profits in the fourth quarter, helped by lower amortization and interest ex-

S&P / TSX 14,466.83 174.76

penses and overall improvement in costs.

Earnings were $192 million or 40 cents per share in the three-month period ended Aug. 31, up from $117 million or 24 cents per share a year earlier and better than estimates of 37 cents per share. Shaw’s revenue rose by 1.4 per cent to $1.26 billion, slightly below estimates of $1.27 billion, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters.

Despite the solid earnings, the company reported a drop in subscriptions, particularly among cable and satellite TV subscribers who chose to cut the cord in favour of alternatives like watching television over the Internet.

At the end of August, the company saw a net loss of 20,166 cable subscribers, reducing its overall total to 1.96 million, while net direct-to-home satellite customers fell 6,606 to 880,623.

Meanwhile, Shaw said the number of people taking its Internet services climb by nearly 12,000 to total 1.93 million. Digital phone line subscribers

also rose 1,114 to 1.37 million.

“We will see some more stability over time,” chief operating officer Jay Mehr said of the decline in subscribers. “I think were in the competitive part of the business cycle in Eastern Canada. . . . ” Shaw said free cash flow — an important gauge for telecom companies that measures discretionary cash after current debt obligations — jumped to $143 million in the period from $61 million a year before.

The company said the improved free cash flow was due to increased operating income before restructuring costs and amortization, lower capital investment and less interest expense.

Those positives were partially offset by higher cash taxes. Shaw’s cable division provided $837 million of revenue in the quarter, satellite generated $220 million and the media division that includes Global Television and specialty TV channels provided $231 million over the summer quarter.

TORONTO — Rogers Communications Inc. (TSX:RCI.B) reports it had $332 million of net income and $405 million of adjusted profit in the third quarter — missing analyst estimates.

The adjusted profit amounted to 78 cents per share — down from 97 cents per share a year earlier and six cents below analyst estimates.

The Toronto-based company’s revenue was $3.25 billion, up slightly from $3.22 billion in the third quarter of 2013, and within estimates.

In the same quarter of 2013, Rogers had $464 million of net income under standard accounting and $501 million of adjusted net income.

Rogers chief executive Guy Laurence says it will take time to fully realize a multi-year plan for improving performance but the third quarter results are where the company expected them to be.

“During the third quarter, we completed the customer-centric structural reorganization we announced in May under Rogers 3.0 and are now up and running,” Laurence said in a statement.

The company — which has a national wireless network, regional cable operations in Ontario and Atlantic Canada, and major media operations — is reaffirming its guidance for 2014 but says its adjusted operating profit and free cash flow will likely be at the lower end of the range.

Analysts expected adjusted earnings of 88 cents per share, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters.

Revenue was anticipated to come in at $3.25 billion. Rogers has been focused on improving results from its operations under Laurence, who joined the company last December.

Recession fears for eurozone remain despite surprising improvement in key survey LONDON — A stronger than anticipated economic survey Thursday failed to inspire much optimism in European markets amid ongoing worries over the state of the 18-country eurozone and of France in particular.

A broad survey of activity in the manufacturing and services sectors by financial information company Markit rose unexpectedly in October. But any boost to confidence was quickly offset by a pessimistic assessment of the eurozone by credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s that added to the gloom that has gripped markets in recent weeks.

“We believe that the eurozone’s problems are still unresolved,” said Standard & Poor’s credit analyst Moritz Kraemer.

Since the summer of 2012, when European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the bank would do “whatever it takes” to save the euro, a sense of calm has come over markets. Over recent months, however, concerns have mounted over the region’s paltry levels of economic growth.

Markit said it composite purchasing managers’ index for the eurozone — a gauge of business activity across manufacturing and services — rose to 52.2 points in October from 52.0 in September. Anything above 50 indicates expansion. The rise was unexpected, with most analysts anticipating a modest decline.

For a while, the survey’s results helped European markets to rally, but that soon dissipated and the Stoxx 50 index of leading European shares was trading 0.3 per cent lower in early afternoon trading.

OF LOCAL INTEREST Thursday’s stock prices supplied by RBC Dominion Securities of Red Deer. For information call 341-8883.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — Signs that major pillars of the global economy may be in better shape than thought, along with strong earnings reports, sent North American stock markets sharply higher on Thursday.

The S&P/TSX composite index ran ahead 174.76 points to 14,486.83, as traders resumed buying stocks beaten down during the sharp retracement of the last few weeks after pausing Wednesday.

But analysts have warned there is no assurance that markets have reached bottom in the course of this correction and volatility will be a factor for a while yet.

“The market now is trying to settle at the new normal,” said Kash Pashootan, portfolio manager at First Avenue Advisory in Ottawa, a Raymond James company.

“And the new normal is one where valuations are not deeply discounted, they‘re fairly valued and the new normal is one where there will be month-to-month volatility.”

The Canadian dollar gained 0.08 of a cent to 89.02 cents US. New York’s Dow Jones industrials jumped 216.58 points to 16,677.9, the Nasdaq was up 69.94 points at 4,452.79 and the S&P 500 index rose 23.71 points to 1,950.82.

Buyers were encouraged after financial information company Markit said its composite purchasing managers’ index for the eurozone rose to 52.2 points in October from 52.0 in September.

The index is a gauge of business activity across the manufacturing and services sectors and anything above 50 indicates expansion.

A major reason for the decline on stock markets in September and October was worry about the state of the global economy and, more particularly, fears that the eurozone was about to slip back into recession.

Also, HSBC’s preliminary version of an index based on a survey of Chinese factory purchasing managers rose to 50.4 from 50.2 in September.

Caterpillar also helped lift marekts and its shares jumped five per cent as the heavy equipment maker reported third-quarter profit of $1.02 billion or $1.63 a share. Earnings ex-items were $1.72 a share, breezing past expectations of $1.33 a share.

Caterpillar also posted revenue of $13.55 billion in the period, surpassing street forecasts of $13.37 billion.

The Caterpillar report was especially welcome because “it’s a meaningful indicator of overall general economic activity and so that does fuel some optimism into the TSX,” Pashootan said.

In other earnings news, Rogers Communications Inc. (TSX:RCI.B) handed in adjusted earnings of $405 million or 78 cents a share — six cents below estimates and its shares fell 63 cents to $42.80.

Cenovus Energy (TSX:CVE) was a market positive, up $1.70 or 6.5 per cent to $27.97 as the oilsands producer beat analyst estimates on several key measures in the third quarter, including cash flow per share at $1.30, 15 cents ahead of estimates. Operating earnings came in at 49 cents a share, eight cents better than forecast.

The energy sector led advancers, up 2.3 per cent while December crude moved ahead $1.57 to US$82.09 a barrel after data showing U.S. inventories much higher than expected last week and a higher U.S. currency had pushed prices to a two-year low.

The base metals component edged one per cent higher as December copper gained two cents to US$3.04 a pound.

Financials and industrials also provided major support to the TSX. The gold sector also turned supportive, up about 0.25 per cent even as December bullion fell $16.40 to US$1,229.10 an ounce.

“Best Little Tax House in Town!”

Cenovus, Husky take oil price drop in stride

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Executives with two big Canadian oil companies are taking recent oil price weakness in stride, signalling no immediate plans to throttle back spending, but ensuring they have the flexibility to do so if needed.

Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX:CVE) and Husky Energy Inc. (TSX:HSE) are both in the midst of finalizing their capital budgets in 2015, with details set to be unveiled in December.

Cenovus CEO Brian Ferguson gave a glimpse Thursday of what next year’s budget will look like — roughly the same “magnitude” of 2014’s capital expenditures of around $3 billion, with a focus on projects that can deliver nearterm cash flow.

In an interview, Ferguson said next year’s plans have not been swayed by oil’s drop from $95 in mid September to around the US$80-a-barrel mark recently.

Cenovus became an independent company just under five years ago when it was spun off from Encana Corp. (TSX:ECA). In the beginning, more of a focus was on building up its portfolio, but this year the split between short- and long-term projects was about 50-50.

“We’ve evolved and matured in terms of our own production base,” said Ferguson. “It’s part of our evolution.”

On an earlier conference call, he said about $2 billion in spending that’s been earmarked for the company’s flagship Foster Creek and Christina Lake oilsands projects will be proceeding as planned.

But there’s more discretion when it comes to growth projects.

“You should expect us to be very prudent in terms of any decisions with regard to that growth capital, beyond $2 billion, as to how much we will actually choose to invest in 2015 or in subsequent years.”

Husky CEO Asim Ghosh divulged no details on his company’s 2015 plans, but said times like these call for “prudence and focus.”

Ghosh said he’s concentrating on what’s within Husky’s control: making sure projects operate smoothly.

“My overall philosophy is we cut our coat to the cloth available,” he told a conference call. “I’ve got enough levers to play with to give me that flexibility.”

He said Husky has a “wide” portfolio in which spending can be easily shifted around.

Earlier Thursday, Cenovus released third-quarter results that beat analyst estimates. Its stock soared $1.70 or almost 6.5 per cent to close at $27.97 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Operating earnings were $372 million, or 49 cents per share, up from $313 million, or 41 cents per share a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were on average calling for operating earnings of 41 cents per share.

Net income, which accounts for onetime items, was $354 million, four per cent lower than at the same time a year earlier.

Cash flow per share on a diluted basis was $1.30, up from $1.23 last year and 15 cents ahead of analyst estimates.

“Cenovus showed an operationally very strong quarter, with a material cash flow beat,” wrote Desjardins analyst Justin Bouchard in a note to clients.

“The key projects are all moving forward, paving the way for meaningful growth over the next decade.”

Meanwhile, Husky earned $571 million in its third quarter, up from $512 million in the same period a year ago.

CIBC World Markets analyst Arthur Grayfer said operating earnings per share of 49 cents came in 26 per cent below CIBC’s estimate of 67 cents, mainly due to lower volumes at the Liwan natural gas field in the South China Sea and overall liquids volumes, higher operating costs, interest and cash taxes and higher stock-based compensation.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had been on average expecting operating earnings of 59 cents per share.

“It’s been a good quarter, but not without its challenges,” said Ghosh.

Husky said Thursday that the cost of developing the first phase of its Sunrise oilsands project in northern Alberta has risen to $3.2 billion, up from its previous estimate of $2.7 billion.

Gathering of Alberta Co-operatives returns to Red Deer next month

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer will again be a hotbed of co-operative thinking when it plays host to the third annual Gathering of Alberta Co-operatives.

Scheduled for Nov. 14 and 15 at Holiday Inn & Suites Red Deer South, the conference continues the initiative launched in 2012 — the United Nations International Year of Co-operatives. At that gathering, also held in Red Deer, attendees brainstormed ideas for increasing the presence and impact of co-ops.

The exercise was repeated in Red Deer last year, and now returns for

round 3.

This year’s event, which will be themed “Together we are co-op strong, celebrating our identity,” will again feature speakers and panelists discussing a variety of issues relevant to the co-operative movement. These will include the relevance and value of coops, and their place and potential in areas ranging from housing to renewable energy and health care.

Cost to attend the two-day event is $262.50 for registrations on or before Oct. 31, and $341.25 thereafter. The cost to attend one day only is $209.95 for Friday and $105 for Saturday.

Fans of complicated family lore will enjoy Adult Onset Adult Onset

By Ann-Marie MacDonald $32 Knopf Canada Readers have waited patiently for another book from Ann-Marie MacDonald and here it is. The author enjoys success as a playwright, novelist, actor and broadcaster.

But 100 pages into this novel, I found I was reading a very well-written story in which nothing really interesting was happening.

Herein, Mary Rose MacKinnon (Mister for short), is living in a nice Toronto suburb with her partner, a theatre director, and their two children. As the author of a successful series of teen books, she is well known and comfortable financially. Her partner Hilary frequently works PEGGY away from home.

FREEMAN Matthew is the eldest of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children; a quiet, sensitive boy, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in preschool.

Maggie is just two-years-old and typically spends her days challenging Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority. So far, so ordinary.

There is also a dog, a pit bull named Daisy, who early in the book is established as the most responsible one of the bunch.

Mary Rose is a nervous mom. The cupboard doors are locked and even the toilet lid is latched; the scissors are placed up high. Then she gives Maggie the car keys to play with and the car alarm sounds until the neighbours complain.

Mary Rose is a worrier. If her parents phone, she

REVIEW

assumes one of them is dead or dying; a school bus trip conjures up accidents and blood. She imagines kidnaps and car crashes, so the reader is not surprised when it becomes evident that she comes from a family with a troubled past.

Mister is not the first Mary Rose in her family, there was a sister, the first Mary Rose, who died in infancy; the name was used again. The dead child is often referred to in family lore as the, â&#x20AC;&#x153;other Mary Rose.â&#x20AC;?

Likewise with a boy named Alexander, now referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alexander who died.â&#x20AC;?

Any mother of two young children, including a two-year-old, is allowed to be stressed. But the depression and guilt that lives in the mind of Mary Rose is, perhaps, out of control.

As a child, she suffered from benign pediatric bone cysts, an affliction that caused terrible pain.

She bore her pain stoically, believing it was punishment for some imagined crime.

Duncan and Dolly, Misterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elderly parents, are a lively pair. Dolly is Lebanese, trained as a nurse and is a jolly, happy grandma; she was not that way as a mother.

She has overcome the loss of babies with Rh factor, postpartum depression and her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;coming out,â&#x20AC;? as a lesbian.

Duncan, who shunned Mary Rose in the past, now embraces her and the grandchildren.

Other characters are a brother and a sister, but most of the action is in the mind of Mister, often a slippery place to be.

Other books by Ann-Marie MacDonald include Fall on Your Knees (evil and incest) set in Cape Breton; As the Crow Flies (almost), the story of Stephen Truscott.

Fans of complicated family lore will enjoy this book.

Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

A scandalous love story but not on same level at Romeo and Juliet Heloise dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Argenteuil, who we are led to believe is the original Juliet, is different from other women in the year 1115 in Paris.

Heloise is quick-witted, well educated and ready for her uncle to send her off to become the head nun in the service of God at the abbey of KIRSTEN Fonteuraud.

LOWE With her mother dead, her father unknown and her uncle an abusive drunk, she only finds sanctuary in the books she reads dating all the way back to Aristotle. Because of this, she becomes known as the only female scholar in all of Paris.

Pierre Abelard is the headmaster of the Notre Dame Cloister School and is announced as one of the greatest French philosophers in Paris. With his good looks and poetic nature, he is also known as a womanizer (even though he took an oath of celibacy).

As soon as he meets young Heloise, her beauty, her passion and intellectual mind mesmerize him.

Taking her on as his student, the two young philosophers ultimately fall in love. And after a night of expressing their love, they realize that now their reputations and careers are in danger.

REVIEW

NORMAN LEAR

TV pioneer and sitcom king pens memoir at 92 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From the moment Norman Lear began writing his memoir, he knew what the first line would be: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was a boy I thought that if I could turn a screw in my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head just a sixteenth of an inch one way or the other, it might help him to tell the difference between right and wrong.â&#x20AC;?

Learâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Herman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by turns flamboyant, loutish, charming and downright criminal, and an inspiration for his tragi-comic hero, Archie Bunker â&#x20AC;&#x201D; occupies an overarching presence in Learâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Even THIS I Get to Experience (Penguin Press).

The 92-year-old Lear, still full of pep and new projects, reigns as a filmmaker, humourist, impresario, activist, TV pioneer and, of course, unrivaled sitcom titan with a portfolio of hits in the 1970s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s that included Sanford and Son, Maude, Good Times, The Jeffersons, One Day at a Time and the show that started it all, All in the Family, whose patriarch would make famous Herman Learâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own habitual demand that his wife â&#x20AC;&#x153;stifle it.â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to run as far as I could from anything he stood for,â&#x20AC;? says Lear, his voice choking as he recalled life with his father in Connecticut and Brooklyn during a recent interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But at the same time, I wished to make him everything I wanted him to be.

My favourite way of thinking about him was as a rascal, and not â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I have a hard time saying it even now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as a thief.â&#x20AC;?

The book, published Tuesday, became a reckoning for Lear.

But it is no dirge. This is an entertaining, penetrating celebration of a richly lived life, as well as a show-biz chronicle kicking off in the late 1940s when Lear, after being fired as a press agent pitching publicity items to such gossip columnists as Dorothy Kilgallen and Walter Winchell, landed a writing job on NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ford Star Revue, one of TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original variety shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so early in the (TV) game that after a couple of weeks we were considered veterans,â&#x20AC;? laughs Lear, speaking of himself and his partner at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had cachet.â&#x20AC;?

Jobs followed with such â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s TV headliners as Martha Raye, George Gobel and Tennessee Ernie Ford, not to mention the superstar team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

By the 1960s, Lear had moved into writing films including the Frank Sinatra comedy Come Blow Your

In a society that lives off of blackmail, betrayal and gossip, the couple only have a few close friends that they can trust.

But that does not stop Heloiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enraged uncle from finding out and assaulting them both and threatening to skin Pierre alive if he continues to destroy both his and Heloiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honour and dignity.

Things only become more complicated when Heloise discovers she is pregnant with Pierreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s child.

When she confides in him, he sends her away to stay with his family for her safety (although it appears he is only thinking about his reputation).

Now the two must overcome every obstacle that is thrown their way in hopes that one day they can be together and live in harmony and peace.

I looked forward to reading this novel but in the end I was dissatisfied. I felt no real love between the two characters in this book, only that they had lust for each other that seemed to make Heloise lovesick for Pierre.

And as for the great French philosopher, I read this whole novel with disbelief of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;undyingâ&#x20AC;? love for Heloise.

It was obvious that the two did care for each other, but to claim that this is the original Romeo and Juliet is pushing the expectations way too far.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jones has given us a scandalous novel with a love story, poetry and philosophy views and discussions. But it is not on the same level as Romeo and Juliet. Their story will always be the ultimate love story â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not that of Heloise and Pierre.

Timberstone Park NASP Bylaw Amendment 3217/A-2014 Land Use Bylaw Amendment 3357/V-2014 City Council is considering amending the Timberstone Park Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (NASP). #42 Timberstone Way (Lot 174, Block 2, Plan 142 1595) is an undeveloped Âą0.918 (Âą2.268 acre) parcel that is designated R2 Residential (Medium Density) District under the Land Use Bylaw. The Timberstone NASP limits the form of R2 development that can occur on this parcel to â&#x20AC;&#x153;big houseâ&#x20AC;? multi-family development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big houseâ&#x20AC;? refers to apartment type development that is designated to look like a large mansion from the outside. The NASPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intent was to have the built form of multi-family development on the subject site reflect the form and character of larger detached dwellings while still achieving higher density. The proposed amendment would add the potential for the development of assisted living facilities on this site. No other types of R2 uses would be permitted. This limitation of uses in the NASP would be reflected in the accompanying amendment to section 8.22 of the Land Use Bylaw.

The City of Red Deer is looking for volunteers to become members of its newest committee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Community Safety Ad Hoc Committee.

This will be a two year commitment and will develop the following for consideration by City Council: Â&#x2021; A strategic plan for crime prevention and community safety Â&#x2021; A funding model and distribution process for community safety projects Â&#x2021; A governance structure for a community based crime prevention and community safety model 7KH VHYHQ WR PHPEHU &RPPLWWHH ZLOO UHĂ HFW a multi-disciplinary, diverse membership with a broad based perspective.

Husband growing distant Dear Annie: Please help me understand why my husband of 10 years is slowly distancing himself.

We used to laugh, go to the movies, go out for dinner and breakfast on Sundays, but now he doesn’t want me to touch him.

He has no compassion, and there’s no sex and no affection.

I’ve asked him why this is happening, and MITCHELL he simply says, & SUGAR “That was never me. I’m not the passionate person you think.”

When I want to hold his hand, he wriggles away.

I’m affectionate and passionate, but not smothering or overbearing. I love my husband and want to be close to him.

He goes to the casinos with male friends, but will not take me out.

If I suggest going somewhere together, I get major attitude and total

ANNIE ANNIE

negativity from him. He doesn’t even want to go out for my birthday, Valentine’s Day or our anniversary. What the heck?

We now only share our address and last name.

About two years ago, he suggested that we have separate bedrooms, and I agreed because I didn’t know what else to do. I’m thinking of moving out. We are like roommates with no communication at all. I have suggested counseling, but he says, “You can go. I’m not interested.”

What’s going on? Any suggestions would be helpful. — Slowly Falling Out of Love Dear Slowly: There are several possibilities.

Your husband may be having an affair and his affection is saved for the other woman.

He may have a hormonal problem that is interfering with his libido, and he pushes you away in order to avoid being intimate.

He may be gay and only put on a show to get married and now is no longer interested in the charade.

He may have a gambling problem and all of his attention is focused there.

Here’s the suggestion: Get counseling for yourself. You have choices to

make, and some guidance during the process would be helpful.

Dear Annie: I appreciate that you printed information on ovarian cancer and that September was ovarian cancer awareness month.

I am writing you to find out whether you are aware of any support walks, bike rides, etc., to advance people’s awareness of ovarian cancer?

My aunt was recently diagnosed with the disease, and I have been disappointed in the lack of information. I recently moved to Sarasota and found out that the only chapter in Florida for ovarian cancer is in Tallahassee.

If you have any thoughts, please let me know. — S. Dear S.: There are various walks and rides for ovarian cancer scheduled throughout the year, although we cannot promise that any are in Sarasota.

You may need to start your own.

For information, support and scheduling, please look into the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (ocrf.org), the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance (ovariancancer.org), the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (ovarian.org) and the American Cancer Society (cancer. org/cancer/ovariancancer).

Bless you for doing what you can to raise awareness of this terrible dis-

ease.

Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from “Guilty Conscience,” who had decided to stay in her marriage after a fling with a married man.

But she was still unhappy in her marriage and couldn’t stop thinking about her beau.

Years ago, I found myself in the same predicament.

My husband and I went to counseling, but things did not improve.

I, too, could not forget about the other man.

One of my bosses urged me to follow my heart, so I divorced my husband and began raising my small children on my own.

My lover divorced his wife, and we married a year later.

We have now been happily married for 25 years.

Every situation is different, but sometimes these things work out.

BRIEF Missouri funeral director sending dad’s ashes out with a bang as part of fireworks display

Elusive pet bobcat recaptured after escaping from its New Jersey home STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A pet bobcat has been recaptured after its latest escape from its owner’s southern New Jersey home.

Stafford Township Police Capt. Tom Dellane says Rocky was found around 7:15 a.m. Wednesday, a day after fleeing from Ginny Fine’s home in Stafford Township. The 38-pound bobcat was caught nearby in a humane trap after eluding animal control officials on Tuesday by running into a wooded area.

The wayward pet has been taken to a nearby zoo.

Rocky has been the subject of an ongoing legal fight between Fine and town officials because of its repeated escapes. Fine was cited for allowing Rocky to run at large and is due in municipal court on Dec. 5.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A Missouri funeral director is sending his father out with a bang. His father’s ashes, anyway.

Greenlawn Funeral Homes will hold its first Firework Memorial program on Saturday night, when fireworks packed with James Carver’s cremated remains will be launched skyward as part of his family’s goodbye. Carver’s family is the first to try Greenlawn’s new program. His son is funeral director Jim Carver. He says his father, who died in 2008, loved watching fireworks and would appreciate the unusual send off. The family will follow the eightminute fireworks display with a cookout and memorial celebration.

The Springfield News-Leader reports that ( Greenlawn’s Fireworks Memorials range from a $300 “Sensational Celebration” to the “Ultimate Goodbye,” costing between $8,000 and $10,000.

The Trews are on a cross-country tour in support of a new self-titled album. They play Red Deer’s Memorial Centre on Nov. 6.

The Trews and nothing but The Trews NOVA SCOTIA ROCKERS BACK WITH SELF-TITLED FIFTH ALBUM

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

Canadian rockers The Trews initially had trouble explaining their name to the public (‘trews’ means tartan trousers for those who are still wondering).

Now they have to explain their connection to Russell Brand.

The British comedian effectively co-opted the band’s name by calling his own online “news” site The Trews.

It’s Brand’s amalgam of “truth” and “news.”

“He’s stolen our name for his newscast,” responded The Trews frontman Colin MacDonald. “I mean, we had a hard enough time explaining our name, and then this guy comes along. ...”

When it’s suggested that The Trews, as in the Nova Scotia rock band, should at least get the chance to write the theme song for The Trews, as in Brand’s newscast, MacDonald heartily agreed.

“It would be nice if he gave us some

sort of credit, or a shout-out for our name.” But he doesn’t hold out much hope this will happen.

MacDonald noted his group already tried engaging the comedian through Twitter by jokingly linking Brand to the band’s song Paranoid Freak, “but we didn’t hear back. ...”

The Trews are carrying on, regardless, with a cross-country tour in support of a new self-titled album. They play Red Deer’s Memorial Centre on Nov. 6.

The CD has been called “classic Trews” by various critics and MacDonald agrees it probably is. “We tried to make a great record, to do the best we can, and try to up the ante and become a better band.”

This fifth release, which was made possible by a crowd-funding campaign, is undeniably a crowd pleaser — some fans were even allowed to sing background vocals on some tracks. But MacDonald said The Trews didn’t set out to please everybody, as much as to please themselves.

“We’d go to our usual jazz base and

jam to come up with ideas for songs.”

Some of the tunes that came out of this process are personal — such as 65 Roses, which was written for the group’s late agent, Paul Gourlie, who died at age 38 of cystic fibrosis. MacDonald said the band wanted to pay tribute to Gourlie’s brave acceptance of his condition, and his perseverance.

Other songs are more open to interpretation. For instance, Rise the Wake seems to have political undertones, but was simply viewed as a “barn-burning rock tune” when written.

MacDonald said the album opened “with the highest charting debut of our careers,” and he sees this as a success, considering his band has essentially been around for 17 years.

The group was started in high school 1997 by Colin MacDonald, his guitarist brother, John-Angus MacDonald, their cousin, drummer Sean Dalton and friend, bassist Jack Syperek. They later changed their band’s name from One I’d Trouser and relocated to Toronto.

After winning the 2002 Rocksearch

contest held annually by a St. Catharines, Ont., radio station, the band landed a recording contract.

The full-length House of Ill Fame CD came in 2003. Produced by Big Sugar’s Gordie Johnson, the album contained the singles Tired of Waiting and Not Ready to Go — which hit No. 1 on Canadian rock charts and was the most played song of 2004.

What followed was a slew of hits including Hold Me in Your Arms, Hope+ Ruin, So She’s Leaving, Yearning, Can’t Stop Laughing and the latest, What’s Fair is Fair.

The group won five East Coast Music Awards, an Independent Music Award and was five times nominated for Juno Awards.

Colin MacDonald said his band always looks forward to playing in Alberta for its Western Canadian fans, as well as some transplanted East Coast fans. “We’ve always had great shows out there, and we’re hoping for more.”

Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are $42 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Red Deer dancer off to N.Y.C. for role

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer’s Jenna lee Hay is set to make an off-Broadway debut, of sorts, in a modern dance by one of America’s most respected choreographers.

The Merce Cunningham Trust in New York City is remounting Crises, a dance the late Cunningham first created in 1960. And Hay is the only Canadian dancer out of five who were chosen to perform the piece.

“I feel just incredible. This validates all the hard work I’ve been doing for years,” said Hay, who’s in her third year of studying dance at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver.

Her connection with the trust, formed to preserve the legacy of Cunningham, one of the U.S.’s foremost avant-garde dancer and choreographers, began indirectly in April.

A university instructor decided to stage another of Cunningham’s pieces, Native Green, as a class project. Hay danced a lead role in the double-cast production — the same part her teacher had performed in a 1986 staging of the dance in New York. (Simon Fraser even brought in the original costumes kept by the trust.)

Hay’s dedicated performance led the 25-year-old Central Albertan to receive a scholarship to take classes put on by the Merce Cunningham Trust in

Jenna lee Hay of Red Deer is the only Canadian dancer out of five who were chosen to perform in Crises, a modern dance being remounted by the The Merce Cunningham Trust in New York City.

May and June.

While attending these classes in New York, Hay said dancers were encouraged to hang around and learn by watching others — so she stayed for rehearsals of a Cunningham work called Roaratorio. During one of these sessions, her interest was noticed by one of the directors.

After returning to Vancouver, Hay received an email from Jennifer Goggans, studio co-ordinator at the Merce Cunningham Trust, asking if she would return to New York at the end of October to dance in a remount production

of Crises.

Hay, who was told that trust directors “love my energy and positive spirit, and that I am willing to work really hard,” is excited at this opportunity and considers it an honour — especially since the performance will be videotaped for the Merce Cunningham Trust website.

The two-week workshop, culminating with a public performance of Crises, will take place from Oct. 20 to Nov. 7 at the Merce Cunningham Studio, just off Times Square.

The choreographer, who died at age

90 in 2009, started out dancing with Martha Graham’s company. He often collaborated with visual artists and musicians on his complex works. For instance, dancers usually didn’t hear the music they would be performing to until they walked out in front of an audience, said Hay. “He changed the way people look at dance. ... We all appreciate and love the way he pioneered modern dance.”

John Wick, starring Keanu Reeves, is what you’d expect from two stunt-choreographers-turned-directors, with the addition of a few fun flourishes.

Keanu Reeves takes his licks in John Wick John Wick Two-and-a-half stars (out of four) Rated: R

BY STEPHANIE MERRY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Keanu Reeves just turned the big 5-0, but he can still tussle with the best of them. And he needs to in the title role of John Wick, an action flick in overdrive. The movie is what you’d expect from two stunt-choreographers-turned-directors (David Leitch and Chad Stahelski), with the addition of a few fun flourishes.

As the movie begins, Wick’s wife has just died after a long illness. Wick is despondent, and the cinematography is cold and grey, as if the scenes have been shot through a stainless-steel filter. But things warm up considerably with the introduction of a lively new character: a beagle puppy. The unbearably adorable Daisy is a posthumous gift from Wick’s beloved, and with every puppy kiss and tail wag, this seems like it might be the most heart-melting action movie ever — until Daisy meets an untimely end. It comes at the hands of Russian hooligans who break into Wick’s house because they want to steal his 1969 Mustang, then mercilessly beat him as well as the pup.

What these young thugs don’t realize is that Wick is a retired hit man with a frightening reputation.

Even his old boss calls him the Bogeyman, because when you need to off the Bogeyman, you call John Wick. The killing machine’s former employer, Russian mafioso Viggo Tarasov (Michael Nyqvist), happens to be the father of the puppy-murdering ringleader (Alfie Allen from Game of Thrones, again

STORY FROM PAGE D1

HAY: Many rewards Crises involves four women and one man, and focuses on physical contact between the dancers — both through holding each other and through elastic bands worn around a wrist, an arm, a waist or a leg.

Although there’s no narrative, it loosely concerns decisive movements in the relationship between a man and four women.

Hay will be paid for her participation in this remount, but she believes the rewards are many. “I’m the only Canadian being brought out from way out here on the West Coast, so it’s really neat that they are supporting me in this way.”

Simon Fraser University also just awarded Hay with a $1,000 scholarship, which she considers “pretty wonderful.”

Hay believes these successes wouldn’t have been

playing the idiot son). Naturally, Wick plans to take the kid out, while Viggo tries to stop the inevitable retaliation.

Action abounds, of course, and Leitch and Stahelski capture it well, opting for wider shots rather than the kinetic, confusing quick cutting that’s in fashion.

At one point, Wick sneaks into a club where his nemesis is hiding out, and the fighting is choreographed first to a slow, soulful tune and then to a faster beat.

Both sequences unfold flawlessly, and Wick looks oh-so-cool as he plays Whac-A-Mole with the Russian mobsters. But there are also pitfalls to filming this way: it’s easier to see the puppet strings. Some of the hand-to-hand combat has obviously been sped up during the editing process, and the result looks distractingly fake.

The story, especially toward the end, is a lot less important than those fight sequences. But early on there are smart, funny scenes that answer questions other action movies don’t address. For example: How do our invincible heroes navigate car chases so ably? In this case, we see John Wick practising his skills amid obstacles in a parking lot. And what happens to all those dead bodies? Here, there’s a jaunty cleanup crew.

Reeves, with shaggy hair and a three-piece suit, plays the quiet assassin part well, plus it’s easy to root for a grieving husband (and maybe even easier to like a puppy avenger). Nyqvist is less subtle. He’s positively Putinesque — tiny, virile, maniacal — with his Russian accent and crazy eyes. When he’s not yelling or punching people, he sits by his fireplace singing Russian folk songs.

Like most action movies, John Wick goes way beyond a reasonable carnage threshold. Brawls that are exciting in the beginning become dull as each sequence attempts to outdo the last. But John Wick has a more interesting story and better fights than most, not to mention, if too briefly, a puppy.

Early on in Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways, an eightepisode road trip/rockumentary series on HBO, frontman Dave Grohl warmly and earnestly describes his desire to simply stop for a moment and absorb the characteristics and nuances of the local music scenes in some of the American cities he’s blown through on relentless tours with different bands since the late 1980s, including his years as the drummer in Nirvana.

The romance of the road — all those white dividing stripes blurring past between gigs — leads to a sort of heartbreak about knowing a town only through a few people and venues.

Grohl has picked up on a different vibe in each place: music made in Chicago simply feels different from an album cut in Los Angeles. Austin feels different from New Dave Grohl York.

Seattle lends a certain delicious dankness to the sound, while New Orleans finds beauty in humid despair.

Or something like that.

The problem with Sonic Highways is the same as it is in any documentary or series where there’s a lot more talking than doing. Music documentaries are often dealing with ineffable qualities that similarly tranquilize documentaries about the inner workings of comedy. The interviewer and the interviewee are having a great time getting down to the nitty-gritty of the art form, while the viewer may or may not feel a sense of inclusion or shared fascination for the subject.

The good news about Sonic Highways is that it doesn’t have enough time to bore us to tears. All that lingering and hanging out that it promises at the outset gives way to the more urgent fact that Grohl and his Foo Fighters (Taylor Hawkins, Pat Smear, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett) have an album to record.

And they’re doing it on the go.

Joined by their producer, Butch Vig, and a whole lot of gear, they travel to eight cities to rub shoulders with local legends, shoot the breeze and, eventually, write and record a song in a sacred studio space that reflects the mood and history of the scene.

Then it’s on to the next town. (All of the songs recorded for the documentary will be on the Foo Fighters’ eighth album, which will be released next month.)

In Chicago, a viewer instantly gets a feel for the broad magnanimity that endears Grohl to nearly everyone he meets. Producer Steve Albini’s revered studio, Electrical Audio, is a good place to start this journey, linking Grohl back to the days of making Nirvana’s highly anticipated third album, In Utero, which Albini produced and for which, per his unique custom, he accepted only a fee for services rendered.

(Most producers earn a percentage on record sales in perpetuity; such a deal would have earned Albini a lot more money.)

Grohl also sets about sketching a rough outline of Chicago’s blues and rock history. It’s a stylishly edited and well-meaning collage of interviews and archival footage that rather nicely weaves together the sounds of Buddy Guy, Cheap Trick, Etta James, Big Black, Naked Raygun and Wilco.

Please see GROHL on Page D3

possible without the solid foundation laid during her many years studying with Judy Dorland at the former DanceCentral school (now Strive Dance Academy) in Red Deer.

“There was the discipline ... and I also learned to have fun and really enjoy it.”

Hay also made solid friendships with other dancers, such as with the three Jantzie sisters of Lacombe, who are now living in New York and working as Rockettes.

She plans to stay with one of the sisters during her two weeks in the city. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Zola Jesus back where she belongs

BY LAVANYA RAMANATHAN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

GROHL: Music makes him feel happy

nilova says of the high-pitched pop star. “I’m like a bulldozer when I sing, and she’s like, so, delicate.”

The influence is palpable, particularly in the soulful bends of Danilova’s voice on such tracks as Dangerous Days and the gospel-tinged Dust.

If it’s all a little more buoyant, the album title suggests that Zola Jesus still has a dark streak. A taiga is a desolate, life-quashing sort of forest, and to make the album, Danilova holed up in her own version of one: Vashon Island, an islet in the Puget Sound accessible only by ferry from Seattle.

It wasn’t Siberia, but compared to sunny Los Angeles, where the singer had been living, it might have felt like it.

“I was on Vashon Island for nine months, and every day I would wake up and write,” Danilova says

of her time in virtual seclusion. “Most of it I threw away, but toward the end, I started honing what I really wanted. You go through all of these permutations of what the record can be, and you finally hit something and you follow the thread.”

It also felt like a homecoming. Danilova grew up in northern Wisconsin and traces her roots to Russia (the word “taiga” has Russian origins). After making the album, she says, it made sense to settle in Seattle. “I was in the woods, just like I grew up, with a feeling of being at peace and at home.”

She won’t be in Seattle much, though. To promote Taiga, Danilova is heading to Europe, Asia, South America and beyond. “I’m going to go all out,” she says.

him before he was famous, when he was a teenager growing up in Northern Virginia.

The Foo Fighters unload their stuff at Arlington’s Inner Ear Studio, a place “that produced the entire soundtrack of my youth,” says Grohl, who interviews Ian MacKaye, a musician whose success with his own record label became a template for the DIY ethic of punk and indie rock. We’re served some of the history of the District’s punk rock bands from the late 1970s up into the early 1990s, all of which will likely hold more meaning and coherence to those who lived it or witnessed it in local clubs. Looking back, the real revelation in Washington appears to be the brief sensation of Bad Brains, a jazz fusion band that changed its sound to hardcore punk and defied both classification and, as it happened, the rhetoric of race.

Obligated by good intentions, Sonic Highways wants very much for the story of Washington’s punk scene and the story of its go-go scene to exist as part of the same epic tale of the city’s musicians just doin’ their thing. Both forms elude the bottling process, however, even if Grohl and company are attempting to do nothing more than listen and learn. The song that the Foo Fighters winds up recording at Inner Ear is called “The Feast and the Famine,” with frequent nods to the class divide and other demographic rifts that define the capital.

Sonic Highways makes a passionate case that the roots of American music result in the same large tree. Grohl is intent to get his arms all the way around that trunk and give it a hug (and squeeze

out some new tunes), when, it seems, he’s standing in a forest. What comes through loud and clear (and loud) is how happy the music — any music, all music — makes him feel.

It’s certainly more fun than reading Wikipedia entries or spending an afternoon in Cleveland’s shabby Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, though the central problem with the tedium of rock scholarship remains. (How fun is rock music, after all, once it’s under glass?)

Time spent with Buddy Guy is all well and good, but Grohl’s best and most tender conversation in the Chicago episode is with a cousin, Tracey Bradford.

The two recall a family trip when the Grohls of Virginia visited the Bradfords of Chicago during a summer in the early 1980s and young Dave discovered cousin Tracey had shaved her head and, at age 14, was fronting her own punk rock band. She took him to see Naked Raygun at a bar called the Cubby Bear, and his only thought amid the tangle of bodies and pounding rhythm (besides the elation of discovery) was, “Is this happening where I live? Why can’t I do this?”

Watching Bradford and Grohl reminisce and rummage through her well-kept vinyl record collection is a more intimate and revealing experience than another genuflection before Cheap Trick. For Grohl, it all exists on a wonderful continuum of people sharing and learning from one another, where no one ever resents the success of others. By the episode’s end, he is scribbling lyrics that he’s cobbled together from the interviews and conversations into a new Foo Fighters song called Something From Nothing.

This month, Nika Roza Danilova — the musical avant-gardist who performs under the moniker Zola Jesus — released Taiga, the first new material since 2011’s lauded Conatus.

Attention: Special Sections 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, AB T4R 1M9 or Email: specialsections@reddeeradvocate.com

Deadline for submission is WEDNESDAY, OCT. 29 51217J2-27

WASHINGTON — She is electronic music’s new Bjork, a singer with an ear for weird, ambient syncopations and a trunk full of angular costumes that seem to puff her up to stage-filling proportions.

Nika Roza Danilova — the musical avant-gardist who performs under the moniker Zola Jesus — is so intertwined with art and spectacle that her planned performance last year at Washington’s contemporary-art temple the Hirshhorn seemed like a nobrainer. The 25-year-old had already turned in a stunningly meditative show at New York’s Guggenheim Museum in 2012, all while dressed like an ethereal Glo worm.

The universe had other plans.

Days before her show at the Hirshhorn’s After Hours bash, the concert was pre-empted by — of all things — the first government shutdown in 17 years.

The Smithsonian museums are funded by the federal government, and the shutdown proved the equivalent of a stop-work order for the arts.

Bureaucracy stopped the music. But now, almost exactly a year later, Danilova will have her night at the museum. On Friday, she’ll perform at the Hirshhorn’s opening celebrations for two exhibitions.

“It’s kind of the ideal place to perform,” Danilova says. “I love contemporary and modern art museums because they are themselves aesthetically interesting.” The Hirshhorn, with its impenetrable Brutalist facade, Danilova says, makes the visual elements of her stage show practically a moot point. (It also has served as the backdrop for a few other notable musical acts, including electronic performer Dan Deacon and the house-music act the Crystal Ark.) But those expecting to see the Glo worm should know that Danilova has retired that version of Zola Jesus, like last season’s shoes.

This month, Danilova released Taiga, the first new Zola Jesus material since 2011’s lauded Conatus. On it, she abandons the billowy effects that made her lyrics sound like Gregorian chants.

“When Conatus came out, that was a very electronic record. To me, it felt very, um, cold,” Danilova says, pausing to find the right word. “I wanted this record to feel very warm and bombastic and full of life. It was kind of a reaction to where I’d been.”

Taiga is attracting attention from critics precisely because it represents a racecar swerve to the left for the singer-composer: a thumping dance album that is still intelligent, still artful, but fun and hooky in ways Conatus never was. Big, warm brass sounds complement strings. And Danilova’s voice (the classically trained singer began studying opera at 9) finally comes out to play.

“I was studying a lot of opera again, so I was listening to a lot of Maria Callas, Jessye Norman — those are my two favorite opera singers,” Danilova says of the new focus on her voice. “I was also listening to Mahalia Jackson, a lot of gospel singers, like Dorothy Love Coates.” And she cranked a little Mariah.

“Her voice is the complete opposite of mine,” Da-

PIEBIAK Joyce Eileen Apr. 29, 1947 - Oct. 18, 2014 Joyce went to be with her Lord on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014 at the age of 67. She is survived by her daughter Carla Johnston, who she often referred to as her “Ray of sunshine”. Joyce was born in Regina, Sask., where she also eventually married her first husband Barry Johnston.

They moved to Blackfalds Alberta, where their daughter Carla was born. Joyce was predeceased by Barry in 1974. She later married Stan Piebiak, becoming step mother to his two sons, Mike and Daryl. Stan passed away in 2008. After Joyce’s liver transplant in 2004, she received a new lease on life, which led to greater involvement in her church, Wolf Creek Community Church in Lacombe. She especially loved caring for the little children.

She also made many new friends through her swimming at the pool, and loved lunching with the ladies. She will be missed by her many friends, remaining family, and her dog Annie. Memorial service celebrating Joyce’s life will be held at Wolf Creek Community Church 4110 Highway 12, Lacombe, AB on Monday, October 27 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, Joyce would prefer that you make a donation to your local SPCA.

POOLE Perry 1974 - 2014 Perry Dwayne Poole passed away suddenly at his home in Red Deer, Alberta on Friday, October 17, 2014 at the age of 40 years. Perry was a beloved son, father, brother, uncle and friend. He is survived by his parents, Brenda and Mike Poole, his cherished daughter, Alexis and his sister, Carrie (Neil) Munro and his niece and nephew, Melanie and Duncan.

He will also be sadly missed by his beloved partner, Natalie, as well as many other aunts, uncles and cousins, all near and far away. Perry’s friends are far too numerous to count but they will all be left with a void which Perry once filled with his laughter, love and stories. He travelled the world but Perry was most at home on horseback in the mountains or sailing on the ocean. Relatives and friends are invited to a Gathering of Celebration and Remembrance at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta on Saturday, October 25, 2014 from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com.

ZEMANEK Wilma Josephine 1927 - 2014 There are no words to express our deep sorrow in the passing of our dear mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Wilma. Wilma died peacefully at the Red Deer Hospice on Sunday evening, October 19, 2014 at the age of 86 years, shortly after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She was born in Pitin, Czechoslovakia and immigrated to Canada with her parents at the age of 2.

Wilma was fluent in English & Czech and served as an interpreter welcoming Czech immigrants to the Red Deer area.

She was a courageous, gentle soul who raised eight children. Her unwavering Christian faith, and unconditional love for her children, was her rock during difficult times. She was our mentor and inspiration.

For that we will be eternally grateful. Wilma also embraced nature and “adopted” as her pets a doe deer and her twin fawns that frequently grazed below her apartment balcony.

She always had her camera ready to snap a picture, and eagerly shared her photos to anyone who came to visit.

She was a member of the CWL for 15 years. Wilma is survived by her children: Mary (Mac) Aunger, Rick (Barb) Zemanek, Jim Zemanek, Joanne Nolan, Christine Zemanek, Michael (Angie) Zemanek, and Caroline (Arnold) Zemanek-Baker; twenty-four grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren. She is also survived by brother, Joe, and sister, Helen. Wilma was predeceased by her husband, Joseph (1969) and oldest son, John (1995), her parents and her four brothers. A Prayer Service for Wilma will be held at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820-45 Street, Red Deer on Friday, October 24, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. A Funeral Service will take place at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 6 McMillan Avenue, Red Deer, on Saturday, October 25, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Wilma’s honour may be made directly to the Red Deer Hospice Society, 99 Arnot Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 3S6 or www.reddeerhospice.com.

Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.eventidefuneralchapels.com.

Military detainee to face trial in U.S.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AFGHANISTAN

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is preparing to transfer a military detainee in Afghanistan for criminal trial in Virginia, U.S. officials said Thursday.

The move would mark the first time a military detainee from Afghanistan was brought to the U.S. for trial, and it represents the Obama administration’s latest attempt to show that it can use the criminal court system to deal with terror suspects.

The prisoner, known by the nom de guerre Irek Hamidullan, is a Russian veteran of the Soviet war in Afghanistan who defected to the Taliban and stayed in the country, U.S. officials said. He was captured in 2009 after an attack on Afghan border police and U.S. soldiers in Khost province, officials said.

He has been held at the U.S. Parwan detention facility at Bagram airfield ever since. He faces up to life in prison on several charges relating to the 2009 attack, and is expected to be tried in one of the federal courthouses in the Eastern District of Virginia. Prosecutors in that office have experience with high-profile terror prosecutions, including that of Sept.

11, 2001, conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui, who is serving life without parole.

The congressional and administration officials who discussed the matter would do so only on condition of anonymity because it remained classified. Congress was notified Friday that a prisoner was going to be transferred for trial, but lawmakers were given few details, several congressional aides said.

In a statement late Thursday, National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said, “We can confirm that a detainee at the Parwan detention facility in Afghanistan will be transferred to law enforcement custody and will be brought to the United States for trial.”

Meehan would not confirm Hamidullan’s identity but said the decision to transfer the detainee was made in light of the agreement by the U.S. that it will turn over all prisons in Afghanistan to the Afghan government by 2015. As of last month there were 13 non-Afghan detainees at Parwan, and the Obama administration is facing pressure to transfer those detainees before December, when the U.S.-led NATO combat mission ends.

“The president’s national security team examined this matter and unanimously agreed that prosecution of this detainee in federal court was the best disposition option in this case,” she said.

The move is likely to spark criticism from Republican lawmakers, many of whom believe that military detainees should only be tried in military courts, and that criminal prosecutions of terror suspects undermine the notion that the U.S. is at war with al-Qaida and other extremists.

Trying foreign combatants in the American criminal justice system is invariably a complex endeavour, with trials often occurring years after any attack and relying on evidence pulled from sometimes-hostile countries.

Gay marriage fight rages on in three U.S. states

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Three U.S. states are continuing their legal fight against same-sex marriage, despite rulings from federal appeals courts that oversee those states that concluded gay and lesbian couples have the right to marry.

Even as officials in other states have abandoned defence of gay marriage bans, Kansas, Montana and South Carolina are refusing to allow same-sex couples to obtain marriage licenses without a court order directing them to do so. It could be another month or more before the matter is settled.

The latest wave of court rulings that has made same-sex marriage legal in 32 states and the Washington capital district began with the unexpected decision by the Supreme Court on Oct. 6 to reject appeals by five states hoping to keep their bans in place.

The high court’s refusal to step in affected appeals courts in Chicago, Denver and Richmond, Virginia, which in turn oversee 11 states that did not previously allow same-sex

couples to marry. Since the justices’ terse order, same-sex couples have been able to marry in nine of those 11 states, with Wyoming on Tuesday becoming the latest to permit it. Only Kansas and South Carolina have not followed suit.

In a political campaign debate Monday, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback vowed to defend his state’s constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. A federal court hearing is scheduled for Friday.

There seems little doubt that U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree ultimately will set aside the state’s gay marriage ban. That’s because the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, encompassing Kansas and five other states, has said a state may not deny a marriage license to two people of the same sex.

State officials in Colorado, North Carolina and West Virginia chose a different path. They helped speed the process for legalizing gay marriage in their states when they announced they would no longer defend their state laws in the aftermath of the appeals court rulings.
