Hunting death nets jail term BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF The wife of a Bentley man killed in a hunting accident forgave the Lacombe man who pulled the trigger as a judge handed down his sentence almost five years after the incident. Phillip Moore was shot dead on Nov. 29, 2009. His widow Jane Moore read her victim impact statement in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday. She concluded it by turning to face Herbert Stanley Meister, 60, and saying, “I forgive you.” Meister pleaded guilty to unauthorized possession of a rifle and careless use of a firearm. A charge of criminal negligence causing death was withdrawn by the Crown. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail by Judge John Holmes, to be served intermittently on weekends, and to a conditional sentence lasting two years less a day. The conditional sentence is staggered into three portions with Meister spending the first eight months under house arrest, the second eight months with a curfew and the final eight months with no curfew. He also received a lifetime weapons prohibition and an order to supply a sample of his DNA. Meister was out hunting with Phillip Moore and a few other men on Nov. 29, 2009. At the time, Meister was not licensed to carry or use a firearm. Moore went to “push bush,” a hunting technique meant to drive deer out of a wooded area and into an open area to hunt, while Meister waited for deer to come out. Meister fired one shot at what he thought was a deer. He thought he had missed and fired a second shot. That second shot hit Moore. Meister, realizing what he had done, yelled out. He drove to a fellow hunter to tell him he’d shot Moore. The two then drove to Moore and called for emergency services help. Meister performed CPR on Moore as his friend drove to a nearby farm to tell emergency services workers where Moore was. Moore was pronounced dead at the scene.

Municipal operational budgets ‘completely out of whack’: report BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Canadian Federation of Independent Business is calling on Alberta municipalities to rein in operational budgets by cutting staff costs and limiting spending increases to population growth. According to the CFIB’s new Alberta Municipal Spending Watch report, operational budgets have risen at an unsustainable rate between 2000 and 2012 with spending outpacing population growth for the vast majority of municipalities. “We understand that with growing populations there does need to be a large capital investment in infrastructure and (the report) is strictly just looking at costs that can be controlled,” said Amber Ruddy, CFIB senior policy analyst, on Thursday who called most municipal operational budgets “com-

pletely out of whack.” “What’s really driving up these costs are wages, salaries and benefits.” These costs account for 50 to 60 per cent of municipal expenses, she said. “One of the things that the councils often say is they don’t have any control over collective bargaining. They do have control over the number of people they hire. It’s a little bit of both that is contributing to this very escalating cost.” She said there’s a huge gap between public sector and private sector compensation. Contracting work out and redistributing work loads instead of replacing staff who retire are a few ways to reduce costs. “(Municipalities) are not profit driven, but if they’re running up huge debts and deficits, that’s obviously problematic for future taxpayers to cover that burden,” Ruddy said. Helen Rice, president of the Alberta

Urban Municipalities Association, was baffled by the report and questioned its accuracy. “We’re in an economy where municipalities are trying to match that rapid growth and all the pressure that it brings. Plus if you look at wages, we’re competing against the energy sector — it’s Alberta,” Rice said. “The Alberta government predicts Alberta is going to expand at the rate of a small city annually — a city the size of Red Deer annually.” People don’t bring the services they need when they arrive in the province, she said. “You have to be ready for it. You’re working ahead of the curve. I’m surprised that they didn’t recognize that.” At the same time, municipalities are always looking for cost efficiencies, combining departments, looking at new technology, Rice said.

Air Force veteran vividly recalls wartime experiences BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

A few weeks ago on picturesque Lake Muskoka, the rusted remains of a Second World War plane saw sunlight for the first time in nearly 74 years. The remains of the airmen who perished inside the A-17 Nomad aircraft had been recovered two years earlier. They died along with two others on Dec. 13, 1940, when two planes collided while searching for a flyer who had gone missing earlier. Those four young men were among nearly 3,000 Canadian and Allied airmen who lost their lives — mainly in flying training accidents — in this country between May 1940 and March 1945.

REMEMBRANCE DAY Red Deer’s Lester Battle was one of those young flyers and remembers vividly how often word came in to training air bases about a plane going down or reported missing. “There was always some mishap occurring as far as training aircraft were concerned. We’d be sent out on square searches to try to locate these things.” On more than one occasion, he came uncomfortably close to adding to those statistics. Among the flights forever etched in his mind was a routine training run in an Avro Anson from their base in Chatham, N.B., to Charlottetown, P.E.I.

COURT: Death was accidental An autopsy indicated the death was accidental and Moore had died of a single gunshot wound to the abdomen. Jane Moore, reading her victim impact statement, said Meister’s decision to pull the trigger silenced Phillip forever. “He will never even get to meet some of his grandchildren,” she said, referring to one grandchild born five weeks before the incident and another who is too young to remember Phillip Moore. When reading his decision on the sentence, Holmes said the facts of the case can only be characterized as tragic, citing “gross stupidity” on the part of Meister. However, the judge said he believed Meister accepted responsibility for his actions and was genuinely remorseful for what happened. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

SPENDING: Red Deer escalating Red Deer is among the 169 out of 181 Alberta municipalities with populations over 1,000 that CFIB compared whose inflation adjusted operating expenses exceeded population growth between 2000 and 2012. Only 12 municipalities, some of them on the smaller side, kept operational spending at or below population growth. More than 50 per cent of municipalities outperformed Red Deer that was ranked 102nd due to a 40 per cent population increase over the 12 years and 116 per cent increase in operational spending. “When you look at Red Deer, they’re actually spending almost three times faster than population growth for the city,” Ruddy said. “In the past couple of years most cities have leveled off and they’ve been trying to control the spending. But when we look at the chart for Red Deer, it’s still escalating.” Medicine Hat was ranked the best with a 14 per cent decrease in operational spending despite a population increase of 22 per cent. Red Deer Mayor Tara Veer said city council and staff continually work towards efficiencies throughout opera-

tions. “In everything that we do in our culture of continuous improvement and finding operational efficiencies where we can, we ultimately deliver service and need to do that in a manner that is responsible to our citizens and that’s affordable to make sure Red Deer is sustainable so that people can afford to live here and do business here,” Veer said. “When it comes to staff wages, we have had very fair but competitive negotiations in weighing them against inflation. They have generally ranged between two and three per cent in recent years.” Municipalities are also unique in services they provide, like ambulance and dispatch, that while funded by the province show up as operational expenses in municipal budgets. Red Deer also incurs costs through regional partnerships, like transit, that are recouped over time, she said. CFIB claimed provincial and federal transfers have jumped 369 per cent between 2000 and 2012 while municipalities say government downloading has resulted in higher costs. Veer said transfers don’t necessarily apply to municipalities equally. Grants are often conditional or onetime grants. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

AIR FORCE: Neardisaster averted In a flight that the 95-year-old former navigator calls a “little bit of fun,” he remembers how the plane shuddered after the pilot trimmed his controls (adjusted flying flaps and rudder to keep the plane flying true). “I looked out the window and saw flames out the back of the engine,” he said. Twice more, he saw little bursts of flame from the port side of the twoengine trainer. Not sure what it was and reluctant to appear the panicky sort, he kept it to himself. “You never admit you’re afraid when you’re up there, for damn sure,” he says. It was only on landing that he casually mentioned what he saw to the pilot, who immediately called over a couple of mechanics to check out the engine. They found the automatic fire extinguisher system had emptied itself in flight because the engine had indeed been on fire and a near-disaster had been averted. On another flight, the unexpected non-appearance by one of two navigators and his charts left Battle in charge of directing the plane using less accu-

That meant they had to fly from landmark to landmark, a route that put their plane over a huge forest fire that created violent updrafts. “On the way back, we hit a bunch of pockets. A couple of places we dropped 500 feet.” As navigator, Battle needed to move around the cabin and couldn’t buckle himself in. As the plane dropped, his head smashed into a sextant above his head. “It had set screws and every time the damn aircraft went down, I hit my head on those set screws. I ended up with 13 openings in my scalp,” he says with a chuckle. “I was bleeding. The pilot got sick and was throwing up in his hat, and the other two crew members threw up.” Other memorable flights involved being sent out to find a German U-boat that had surfaced off New Brunswick and been spotted drying the crew’s laundry. “At that time, that was a real hornet’s hive of U-boats in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. There had been a tremendous amount of sinking by the U-boats and they became pretty daring.” They would not spot the U-boat on this day. Working at a flying base around often fully armed aircraft always had an element of danger. One day, he heard a huge boom from his home just off base, in Mountain View, Ont., near Belleville, where he lived briefly with his wife and three children before he was posted to New Brunswick. It was only the next day that he found out that a bomb had gone off during an unloading mishap, blowing the wing off a plane and killing a ground crewman. Wartime duty took a toll on the young men called to serve in many ways. A friend of his from the one-room schoolhouse he attended near Delia never got over one of his wartime experiences. He was among a group of air force men who searched for and found the scene of a fatal crash by a sea plane in mountainous terrain on Vancouver Island. It was too late to do anything that day and Battle’s friend was ordered to stand guard over the wreckage on his own all night. The experience haunted him for life and he was never the same. Today, he would likely have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, says Battle. “He couldn’t get it out of his mind.” Growing up on the family farm near Delia, which is between Hanna and Drumheller, Battle was one of eight children.

He had left the farm and was working in Vancouver when the war started in the fall of 1939. Almost right away, he marched down to the recruiting office to join the air force, but was told they didn’t need anyone at that time. Months later, he got the call but by that time he had found a good job at a sawmill and was reluctant to give it up. He deferred his service at that time, but joined in 1943 with an eye on sporting the wings of a pilot. “Everyone who joined wanted to be a pilot,” he says. That was not the air force’s plan, however, and he was trained as a navigator with stops in Edmonton, Mountain View and Chatham. Battle said he wasn’t overly disappointed. “I think I was satisfied I was going to be air crew. I was serving my country.” In late 1944, he was transferred to the reserves and returned home to Delia for a spell before getting called up for regular service again. He was sent to Calgary and was to go on to Abbotsford, B.C., where he was to be trained to fly in B-25 twin-engine bombers based out of Burma. “I was just about ready to leave Canada to do that and they decided I wouldn’t be needed.” With the war now winding down, the now father of four was demobilized in March 1945. He returned to Delia, where he ran his own insurance, income tax and real estate business before retiring in 1964, and later moving to Vancouver Island. He and his wife Betty, who passed away three years ago, spent the next decades travelling extensively around the world. Battle now lives in Red Deer at the Pines Lodge. On his wall, his younger self stares back at him in his air force portrait: crisply uniformed, moustache impeccably trimmed, the very image of the jaunty airman. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEF Public safety a concern when Calgary police search for holdup suspects CALGARY — Homeowners in part of northwestern Calgary were urged to stay indoors during a police hunt for two men suspected of pulling off an armed robbery north of the city. Police issued the warning Wednesday night after a truck was allegedly stolen earlier in the day in Red Deer and possibly used in a holdup in Olds. The truck was later dumped in Calgary’s Evanston neighbourhood and the men fled on foot. One suspect was tracked down by a police dog and suffered a superficial bite, while the other man was taken into custody some time later. Both were turned over to the RCMP for transfer to Airdrie. Police say they found a loaded handgun and additional ammunition in the truck.

CARDSTON — A teenager from the Blood Reserve has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and offering an indignity to human remains after appearing in Cardston Youth Court. The 19-year-old can not be named as he was a youth at the time of the killing in June of 2013. Court was told 25-year-old Jaimie Black Rabbit was stabbed 124 times following an altercation between the accused and victim at a home on the reserve. Court was told that after the killing, the accused bound Black Rabbit’s feet with a string of Christmas lights and a belt and dragged him outside, covering him with a quilt and dirt. The judge has agreed to sentence the teen as an adult when he returns to court in February.

Stampede CEO retiring after nearly 30 years with rodeo CALGARY — The chief executive officer of what’s billed as “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth” is retiring next spring. Vern Kimball has been chief execu-

The Stampede says on its website that before becoming CEO, Kimball was chief operating officer for two years, chief financial officer for 10 years and held significant roles in food services, sales and facilities, and longrange planning since joining the organization in 1986. The Stampede says Warren Connell, who is vice—president of park development, will take over as CEO when Kimball retires at the end of March.

“Noralta Lodge’s LMOs were revoked because they provided false, misleading or inaccurate information in the context of their application for temporary foreign workers,” said Alexandra Fortier, a spokeswoman for Employment Minister Jason Kenney. An LMO (labour market opinion) is required to prove the need to hire a foreign worker over a Canadian employee. “Any allegation of abuse of the temporary foreign worker program will be vigorously investigated,” Fortier said. “If any employer is found to have broken the rules of the program, they will face serious consequences, including: having their LMOs revoked, being named on a public blacklist, having their ability to hire foreign workers cut off.” A spokeswoman for Noralta said the company fully co-operated in an audit last May and received word of the government’s decision Wednesday night. “Anything that takes our workforce practices into question is a concern for us,” said Blaire McCalla, manager of communications. “We’re still trying to decipher what this means for us, but our understanding is that we’ve been banned from using the program for the next couple of years. It doesn’t seem to affect our current workforce at this time.”

Lodging company barred from using temporary foreign worker program CALGARY — The federal government has barred an Alberta lodging company from using the temporary foreign worker program for the next two years. Noralta Lodge Ltd. was added to a government “public blacklist” website of employers who have broken the rules or been suspended from the program. Noralta, which provides accommodation for workers in northern Alberta’s oil and gas sector, was added to the list on Tuesday.

Marquis Hainse, Commander of the Canadian Army, said the “tragic accident serves to remind us of the dangers that the men and women who serve in the Canadian Armed Forces face each day, whether they participate in training exercises at home, or while deployed on operations abroad. “We train as we fight in war. A loss of life in training is no less significant than a loss of life in war.” CFB Wainwright, about 200 kilometres east of Edmonton, is one of the busiest army bases in Canada. It was used extensively to train thousands of troops before they deployed for service in Afghanistan. Other soldiers have died at the base while training in 2008, 2007 and 2005.

Dark side of Parliament FLOODGATES OPENED ON UNTOLD — AND UNSAVORY — HILL STORIES When it comes to sexual harassment, Canada’s parliamentarians have long lived in a painstakingly maintained glass house. From the moment the Jian Ghomeshi story broke last week, it was only going to be a matter of time before cracks appeared in the politically correct facade of Parliament Hill. CHANTAL The allegaHÉBERT tions of sexual improprieties that have been levelled at the former CBC broadcast star will eventually be sorted out in court. But they opened the floodgate for a host of previously untold stories of sexual assault and/or harassment. With more women coming forward daily with bad experiences of their own, the question was not if but when the fallout would reach Parliament. Some cracks surfaced on Wednesday when Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau turfed two MPs out of his caucus. Montreal MP Massimo Pacetti and Newfoundland MP Scott Andrews were ejected pending an investigation of allegations of “personal misconduct” made by two female NDP colleagues. Their candidacy in next year’s election is on hold. Also on Wednesday, the National Post’s John Ivison reported the story of a former intern who allegedly was sexually harassed while assigned to the office of a Liberal MP eight years ago. She asked Ivison not to use her real name. The identity of the MP was also withheld. But based on his knowledge of the culture of Parliament Hill, the veteran columnist decided that her story was “entirely plausible.” In Ivison’s place I, too, would have gone out on a columnist’s limb for this former intern - based on my own generic knowledge of the place. Among the women who currently toil on or around the Hill, there are few whose institutional memory of the ways of Parliament Hill goes back as far as mine does. I first came to Ottawa to report on federal politics in 1977 as a very junior twenty-something Radio-Canada reporter. It was a brief sojourn. Within a few months, I came to the conclusion that the then-male bastion of Parliament was not the best working environment for a young female journalist to spend her formative professional years in. A few days before I headed back to Toronto and a freelance journalism gig my colleagues invited me to tag along to a Quebec MP’s annual Christmas office party.

INSIGHT

There were a few other women attending the party but they had been hired for the occasion and each had settled on a male guest’s lap by the time we arrived. It was a decade before I returned to the Hill. There were more women in Parliament the second time around but its boys’ club mentality seemed fundamentally unchanged. Over the years that followed, I remember counselling a younger colleague who wondered if she was cut out for political coverage after a failed attempt to connect with the Liberal leadership team she had been assigned to. A dinner with one of the candidate’s organizers had ended abruptly when her guest called for the bill and chided

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We must provide day shelter for homeless of Red Deer Fellow Citizens of Red Deer, as someone who lives in downtown Red Deer and works at Gaetz Memorial United Church kitty corner to City Hall, I feel called to raise the alarm that some of our neighbours are in dire straights. Recently Barachah Place, the city’s only day shelter, and place to keep warm, has closed its door. If you’ve been paying attention to the Advocate lately, you’ve noticed increasing number stories about the Valley Apartments and Heritage Square. McDonald’s downtown has set a 20-minute limit for customers because they cannot contend with the street-involved populations that are overwhelming them. With nowhere for our most vulnerable citizens to go, they are going wherever they can to stay warm. There has been an increase in crime and increasingly polarizing opinion on what to do about it, from more policing to more adequate preventive services. As winter slowly sets in Central Alberta, if a solution is not met immediately, people will begin to die on our streets because we have done nothing to keep our fellow citizens safe. A small investment by our community in a day shelter program with supports for street-involved people will save countless dollars in policing and health-care costs.

her for not having understood that she was meant to be dessert. I suggested sticking to lunches in the future. On the constitutional road show a few years later, I remember how women staffers and reporters all knew better than to risk being cornered in a seat by a certain MP on the committee’s bus. On two occasions, people associated with the parliamentary page program casually dropped hints that their protégés sometimes had to interact with MPs or senators whose hands tended to wander. Over time the number of women in the press gallery reached a critical mass. A more egalitarian generation of politicians found its way to the Hill. It includes a significant contingent of

This isn’t just a matter of charity and doing what is right, it is a matter of spending now to save countless millions down the road. Statistics show it is cheaper to house the homeless than to pay to prosecute them. It is our moral imperative to rally together as a city and do something. Rev.

Downtown traffic changes hardly an efficiency gain If the work done on Taylor Drive, Ross Street and 49th Street was to reduce congestion, what a waste! When the lights are indicating a left turn, why is traffic backing up on to the Red Deer River bridge, instead of proceeding on south? I would have thought the engineers would have figured that out! When traffic lights are indicating north/south movement, if there is no traffic northbound, why is south-facing traffic not allowed to turn left? It works fine on 43rd Street! Once the turn onto 49th Street has been achieved, one still has to achieve movement at 52nd Avenue. Northbound traffic into the Real Canadian Superstore lot is at a standstill because the light on 50th Street is red. Traffic from south 52nd Avenue is blocking at least two lanes on eastbound 49th Street. When the light on 52nd Avenue and 50th Street changes to green, the light on 52nd Avenue and 49th Street is red!

The allegations that have surfaced this week suggest that some old habits die hard — including that of sweeping harassment issues under the rug. Few are more vulnerable to allegations of personal misconduct than elected politicians and there has long been an implicit gentlemen’s agreement (pun intended) between the parties to deal with such matters under the radar.

Trudeau chided for airing misconduct complaints

and we were not about to override that and make them victims a second time.” Mulcair added: “Anyone who went against that, of course, would be running the risk of making them become victims a second time. That’s certainly not something we would ever be part of.”

He also chided Trudeau for failing to give New Democrats a heads up before going public. “There was no prior warning whatsoever from the Liberals that they were going to be bringing this forward yesterday,” Mulcair said. However, Trudeau

Parliament Hill workplace goes under microscope in wake of MP allegations BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — A vivid discussion is unfolding around Parliament Hill about the culture of this most unusual of workplaces and whether it is unfriendly to women. The suspension of two Liberal MPs and an anonymous former parliamentary intern’s account of harassment, shared with the National Post, sparked the soulsearching. The perspectives on the issue are as diverse as the women who work or have worked around the still male-dominated halls of power. NDP MP Megan Leslie notes that power is a huge factor in the Parliament Hill workplace — between MPs and staff, from MP to MP and between politicians and journalists. “Add to that, we’re not with our families, we’re away from our support systems for the week, we’re lonely,” said Leslie. “It is an incredibly intense environment. All of that means that issues around harassment, policies around harassment, need to be in place all the more.”

Leslie said Parliament Hill is decades behind other workplaces in terms of tolerance of sexist and sexualized comments, which she says she gets on a daily basis. “One of my colleagues has long hair, and she gets touched every day. Every day, a male colleague says, ’Oh your hair is so pretty,’ and touches her,” said Leslie. “You know, she has the right to do her job as an MP without being touched. It would never happen to the minister of Justice, the minister of Defence.” One MP from another party, who asked to remain anonymous, said the problem with tolerating sexist language or jokes is that it can “set the stage” for harassment. “Have I been the recipient of inappropriate comments? Yes, absolutely, but I’ve always seen it as my job to set the ground rules and say, that’s not acceptable,” said the MP. “On the other hand, I don’t know how someone who is 22 or 23 years old would deal with that.” Candice Malcolm, a former aide to cabinet

Talking to police about Ghomeshi allegations validating: Decoutere THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — One of the women accusing former CBC host Jian Ghomeshi of violent behaviour is encouraging other potential victims not to be afraid of speaking with Toronto Police. Trailer Park Boys actress Lucy Decoutere has issued a statement saying her interactions with officers were “warm and sympathetic.” DeCoutere says police interviewed her on Thursday, adding the experience made her feel “warm and validated.” Decoutere says she’s sharing her impressions in hopes of making other women feel safer or more confident about reporting sexual violence. She is one of at least nine women who have accused Ghomeshi of violent actions or sexual assault, allegations the former host has disputed and said he will fight. DeCoutere accused Ghomeshi of choking her “to the point she could

not breathe” and slapping her “hard three times on the side of her head.” Decoutere is one of three women who have filed complaints against Ghomeshi with police. Other alleged victims have told media outlets that they were reluctant to come forward in the past. Decoutere said she hopes her statement can dispel some of that fear. “I am making this statement because I know how scary it can be to come forward,” she wrote. “Those considering coming forward should know that it was a safe place.” The CBC cut ties with Ghomeshi after seeing what it described as “graphic evidence” that the Q host had caused harm to a woman. Ghomeshi has said he has engaged in rough sex, but that it was always consensual, and said he was fired from CBC because of the risk that his sex life would become public.

minister Jason Kenney, said she has nothing but positive things to say about her Parliament Hill experience. “I think it’s good that this stuff is coming out and it’s leading to a conversation. I think it’s healthy for people to be aware that sometimes there are problems,” said Malcolm, Ontario director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “I was very fortunate in my position ... it was a very respectful office. There were a number of strong women who worked there already.”

er Elizabeth May said Trudeau would have been “damned if he did and damned if he didn’t” take action on the complaints. And she called on the NDP to stop politicizing the issue. “In all this, the worst thing that could happen would be an injection of toxic partisanship and I’d ask Mr. Mulcair to rethink the approach he’s taking,” May said. The matter has been referred to the secretive multi-party board of internal economy. The Liberals are asking that an independent third party be brought in to investigate the complaints.

The federal Liberals have kicked two MPs out of their caucus over accusations of personal misconduct made by two members from another party. A source familiar with the matter have identified the two as Quebec MP Massimo Pacetti, left, and Scott Andrews, the member for Avalon in Newfoundland and Labrador and the party’s ethics critic.

Trudeau said: “I just know that for someone to come forward directly to a party leader who is not their own means that there is an expectation that there will be consequences.” Mulcair had a different take on his duty as a leader. “We have a right to a safe workplace and that includes Parliament. Women should not have to worry about these things and, if they do have the courage to talk to those around them, we have an obligation to respect their wishes as stated,” he said. Green party Lead-

OTTAWA — Two female New Democrat MPs have been victimized a second time by Justin Trudeau’s decision to publicize their complaints of inappropriate behaviour against two Liberal MPs, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair says. Mulcair confirmed Thursday that it was complaints from two NDP MPs that prompted Trudeau to suspend Scott Andrews and Massimo Pacetti from the Liberal caucus pending an investigation. Speaking in Whitby, Ont., Mulcair said he knew about the complaints but had not pursued them because the women wanted to keep the matter confidential. “Our No. 1 concern was to make sure that they got the help they needed and that their wishes were respected,” he said. “Those wishes included a very strong desire to keep this confidential. That was their request

continued to argue that he had “a duty to act” when an MP directly complained to him about the behaviour of one his caucus members. The Liberal leader announced Wednesday that he was suspending Pacetti and Andrews over allegations of “serious personal misconduct” levelled by two MPs from another party. “I was, as you know, very, very diligent to not reveal the gender, the identity or even the party affiliation of the individuals making the complaints but, as a leader, I have a duty to act,” Trudeau said during a byelection campaign stop in Hinton. Asked if he could have somehow disciplined his MPs without saying why, Trudeau said his explanation that there had been allegations of personal misconduct was “both general and specific enough to be fair.” As for New Democrats’ accusation that he didn’t respect the wishes of the women to keep the matter confidential,

PROSTITUTION

Sex workers say new law still puts them in danger BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Luka Rocco Magnotta was suffering from schizophrenia, was mired in a psychosis and could not tell right from wrong when he killed Jun Lin, a forensic psychiatrist testified Thursday. Marie-Frederique Allard is an expert witness hired by the defence to assess Magnotta’s criminal responsiblity at the time of the slaying. The argument is key to the defence case at Magnotta’s first-degree murder trial because although he has admitted to killing and dismembering Lin in 2012, he has pleaded not guilty by way of mental disorder. Allard told the jury Thursday she consulted police evidence and medical records and saw Magnotta personally for about 25 hours over several meetings, beginning in December 2013. She said she believes Magnotta was suffering from schizophrenia, that his perception of reality was skewed and that while he knew what he was doing, he didn’t realize it was wrong. “That illness was present on May 25, 2012,” Allard said. “It’s responsible for the five charges against him.” Magnotta, 32, faces four other charges in addition to premeditated murder: criminally harassing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other members of Parliament; mailing obscene and indecent material; committing an indignity to a body; and publishing obscene materials. The Crown contends Lin’s slaying was planned and deliberate. According to Allard, Magnotta was “experiencing a loss of reality” on the day Lin was killed. “He was capable of judging the nature and quality of his actions,” Allard said, adding he was not able to rationally apply the notion of right and wrong to those actions. Allard testified that Magnotta was one of her most difficult cases because, she says, he suffered from schizophrenia while at the same time minimizing his own mental disorder. Allard said Magnotta’s case is interesting from a medical point of view — his father was schizophrenic and the stigma linked to mental disorder in part fuelled Magnotta to dissociate himself from his own illness. The jury heard that by August 2001, Magnotta had been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic at age 19. That diagnosis was found in medical documents from Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay, Ont. A psychiatrist who saw him in April 2001 referred to Magnotta as “a bizarre presentation” and couldn’t tell if he was faking. The trial resumes Monday when she continues her testimony.

Finance minister to deliver fiscal update Nov. 12 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — After years of reports awash in red ink, Finance Minister Joe Oliver will deliver a fall economic and fiscal update Wednesday that he’s billing as a precursor to a balanced budget in 2015. That’s going to make it a far different exercise than it has been in recent years, observers said Thursday. “In the past, it was discussions about what to cut,” said Craig Wright of RBC Economics Research. “Now the discussion is what to do with this large and growing fiscal dividend, which is a much more pleasant discussion ... arguably, equally as challenging, but still a more pleasant discussion.” Oliver’s spokesman, Nick Bergamini, tweeted Thursday that the update would be delivered in Toronto. The minister’s office also said he will not introduce any new fiscal measures in the update. Much of the promised budgetary surplus has already been earmarked for the government’s controversial new family measures, which include income splitting for families with children and an enriched child care benefit. The government has also recently announced it would double the child fitness tax credit and, in the next budget, is expected to make good on a 2011 promise to double the annual limit for taxfree savings accounts. Experts are also keeping a close eye on the sliding price of oil — a major influence on the government’s books. Oliver has already said he doesn’t expect oil prices to force the government to reconsider its economic game plan. Jimmy Jean of Desjardins Economic Studies said he would be interested to see how low oil prices might influence government projections. Jean will also be keen to hear anything Ottawa has to say about the impact of the income-splitting plan on future revenue growth. He thinks there might even be room for something unexpected. Jean said it’s always possible the government could announce it has managed to close the deficit this fiscal year.

“It remains to be seen whether there’s a surprise,” Jean said. Budget watchers have released their own projections, which some predicting the country could be even closer to balancing the books than the government has let on. Last week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the government would run a small deficit this year and a small surplus next year. For his part, Oliver is billing the update as one that will reflect a focus on jobs and the economy, while also demonstrating that the books are healthy. “Canadians can expect an update of our fiscal position, which, due to the strong economic management of our Conservative government, shows we are on track to balance the budget in 2015,” Oliver said in a statement. “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Harper, we will continue the sound economic management that has made Canada the best place in the world to live, work and raise a family.”

VANCOUVER — The Conservative government’s new anti-prostitution law will continue to endanger the lives of people who work in the sex trade and in some cases make things worse, sex workers and advocates said Thursday as the law received royal assent. Ottawa revised the law to respond to a decision last year from the Supreme Court of Canada, which concluded the previous Criminal Code sections related to prostitution were unconstitutional because they made sex work more dangerous. But several sex-worker rights groups across Canada used Thursday’s royal assent to repeat their arguments that the law will continue to put women and men working in prostitution at risk. “They have told us over and over again that this bill is intended to protect sex workers,” Kerry Porth, chair of Pivot Legal Society and a former sex worker herself, told a news conference in Vancouver. “These new laws will push sex work further underground into the darkest corners of our city.” The government has said the new bill addresses the high court’s concerns because it essentially allows sex workers to work freely — including hiring protection and starting up brothels — as long as they’re doing it of their own free will. Critics, however, say provisions that criminalize the purchasing of sex, prohibit communication in many public places, and restrict advertising will largely recreate the same problems identified by the court. Porth said criminalizing customers and public communication will lead to rushed transactions that will prevent sex workers from taking the time to screen clients. And she said decriminalizing brothels and other forms of indoor prostitution is meaningless if sex workers aren’t permitted to advertise. “The ability to clearly communicate with clients is the most crucial safety measure that sex workers employ,” said Porth. “They will now be forced to rush or abandon these measures altogether.” Porth was joined by a half-dozen current sex workers, who wore masks and used pseudonyms. One woman who identified herself as “Jordan Doe” said sex workers in Vancouver and elsewhere have already run into difficulties with the new law, even before it went into effect. “Sex consumers are confused by what the rules are now and how they can safely access the services that we provide,” she said. “As a result of that, our incomes have severely been depreciated.” Some critics have suggested the updated law would be open to another charter challenge, though Porth said it could take years to gather evidence about the impact of the revised provisions and take it to court. Pivot does not have any immediate plans to launch a renewed court challenge, she said.

PM urged to reverse Ebola visa restrictions BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Gartner snakes captured in a home in Saskatchewan, are pictured in a handout photo released on Thursday. More than 200 snakes have been removed from a home in Saskatchewan, and there are still more slithering inside.

Hundreds of snakes pulled out of home near Regina BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — More than 200 snakes have been removed from a home in Saskatchewan — and there are still more slithering inside. Megan Lawrence, director of the Salthaven West wildlife centre in Regina, was first called by the homeowners in early October. They’d spotted a few harmless garter snakes over the years in their old farm house outside the capital city, and usually picked them up and tossed them outside. But this time they needed help catching more of the slithering serpents. Most were tucked away in the basement, but some snakes had made their way upstairs into the kitchen and some bedrooms. Lawrence said Thursday that cranking up the heat caused many to leave their hiding places so they could be quickly captured. The count: 102. “We had no idea there was that many, but we knew more were hiding

Kenney calls work-for-free advice ‘wrong message’ TORONTO — Telling jobless university graduates to work for free until the job market improves would be asking them to lower their expectations, which is “the wrong message” to be sending to Canada’s youth, federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney said Thursday.

in cracks in walls and under the floor.” A few days ago, the family delivered their latest “catch” to the centre in plastic bins with locking lids. That tally: 119. “There’s actually still more they can see but they just haven’t come out to be caught yet,” Lawrence said. She’s not sure how many more could be in the house. Maybe five; maybe 105. They are all plains garter snakes, the most common type of garter snake on the Prairies. Typically no bigger than a metre long, they are dark green with a stripe on each side and one down the back, varying in colour from bright yellow to dull red. They have teeth, but no fangs, and are quite docile. Lawrence said the homeowners have never been bitten. Their house probably became a sanctuary for the snakes because cracks in its old foundation offered easy access. The cracks grew even wider after rain flooded the basement in the spring, and more snakes wiggled inside. It’s also probable the snakes bred while in the home and their population

exploded, suggested Lawrence. Garter snakes have an average of 30 babies a litter, but can deliver as many 90. The family, a couple and their two teenagers, are not really scared and find the snakes more of a nuisance than a threat, said Lawrence. But they don’t want to be named or do interviews. “They’ve asked to remain anonymous just so they can have friends and family still come over without fear.” The family is hoping to get the last of the snakes out of the basement soon, then quickly make repairs to the home’s foundation so the slitherers won’t be able to wriggle in again. Lawrence said the first snakes, except for a few sick ones, were freed at a nearby nature preserve with known underground hibernation spots. It’s now too cold for the second batch to be put outside. Lawrence hopes other wildlife centres will offer some snake space. Otherwise, the remaining reptiles will stay at her centre for the winter, under heat lamps and eating earthworms and minnows.

His comments follow controversial remarks Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz made earlier this week, when he suggested young Canadians and others struggling to find work should acquire more experience through volunteering in an area close to their expertise. “I disagree with governor Poloz on this,” Kenney told reporters after delivering a speech to a Toronto business crowd. “I think kids should work for pay.” Poloz’s remarks to a House of Commons committee on Tuesday were criticized by advocates for interns and young workers, who said they show the central bank governor is out of touch with the reality young would-be work-

ers face every day. “I don’t think we should be sending message to young people to reduce their expectations,” Kenney said. “I think that’s the wrong message to send.” He said other countries do a better job at engaging the private sector in the process of skills development and training for youth. “That is what the Europeans do, we should be able to do it in Canada as well.” Statistics Canada’s latest job numbers said the unemployment rate for people aged 15 to 24 was 13.5 per cent in September, almost double the country’s overall rate of 6.8 per cent for the same month.

TORONTO — An multinational mining company has urged Prime Minister Stephen Harper to reverse the government’s decision to restrict entry to Canada from Ebola-affected countries. ArcelorMittal SA, the world’s largest steel and mining company, wrote to the prime minister on Tuesday to suggest his government’s approach to protecting Canada from Ebola would make fighting the disease more difficult. “We respect your concerns and the need to protect Canada from Ebola, but the only solution is to combat this disease within West Africa and travel restrictions are slowing the response and making this harder,” said the letter from Bill Scotting, ArcelorMittal’s chief executive for mining. “We hope you can find a way of meeting both Canada’s needs whilst helping the international community truly combat the disease at source.” Alan Knight, the company’s general manager for corporate responsibility, said that ArcelorMittal had received confirmation of receipt of the letter but had not had a response from the prime minister’s office. The federal government announced last week it was suspending the issuance of new visas to residents and citizens of countries with widespread Ebola transmission, and was also halting work on residency applications from those countries. Three countries currently meet this definition: Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The move contravenes the International Health Regulations which stipulate that in infectious disease outbreaks, countries should not impose trade or travel sanctions against affected countries beyond what the WHO has recommended. The WHO has repeatedly urged countries not to close their doors to people from the affected countries, saying to do so would be counterproductive and might actually increase the risk of international spread of the disease. Under the International Health Regulations, countries which take measures that are stronger than those approved by the WHO must present the global health agency with the scientific and public health rationale for their actions. And the WHO has asked Canada to lay out its justification for taking this action. Canada helped to revise the IHR, as the treaty is called, after the 2003 SARS outbreak. The goal of the document is to encourage countries to report disease outbreaks that could threaten other states by removing the economic disincentives that would make countries avoid transparency. By signing the treaty, countries agree not to penalize nations that are experiencing disease outbreaks by levelling trade or travel sanctions against them. ArcelorMittal employs more than 10,000 people in Canada; in Liberia, it employs 4,000 people. The company and others that do business in the three West African countries engulfed in the Ebola outbreak have formed a group that calls itself the Ebola Private Sector Mobilization Group.

VANCOUVER — He was a wily character with a bright personality, known for philosophical musings as he sold flowers from the streets of downtown Vancouver where he also lived for 15 years. But there would be no storybook ending for Tom Sawyer, a homeless man who died of blunt force trauma in an alleyway, believed to be the victim of unknown assailants. A report released Thursday highlighting the risks of vagrancy found that homelessness cuts a person’s life span in half in British Columbia, with the majority of deaths by accident, suicide or homicide. “In some ways, I was really surprised he survived that long,” said Tom’s brother Doug Sawyer, of the 55-year-old’s March 2010 death. “It is a pretty dangerous place. “I don’t know what you can do about that, except for trying to get people a safe place to at least sleep.” Megaphone Magazine is touting its report of street deaths, based on data from the B.C.’s Coroners Service, as the first comprehensive survey into homeless-related mortality in the province. It also contrasts a lack of data available across Canada. The Vancouver-area advocacy group found the average age at death is between 40 and 49 years old for someone without a home, compared to the life expectancy of an average British Columbian at around 82 years old. Nearly 72 per cent of the general population dies of natural causes, while almost 48 per cent of homeless die accidentally from causes like overdoses, drowning and murder, the report concluded.

OTTAWA — The Conservative government has rejected calls to reform the Access to Information Act as part of a new openness plan. The final version of the federal blueprint on open government for 2014-16 remains silent on updating the 32-year-old law despite public pleas during several consultations — including a recent round of public feedback on a draft version. The final plan, published Thursday, commits the government to making more information and data — including scientific research, federal spending and archival records — readily available. However, it suggests no legislative changes to the access law, which allows people who pay $5 to request government records ranging from correspondence to expense reports. Treasury Board President Tony Clement defended the law in an interview Thursday as “a good piece of legislation.” Opposition parties, pro-democracy groups and

Federal information commissioner Suzanne Legault wrote Clement earlier this year to say revision of the law is “the one element” that must be included in the open government plan.

TORONTO — Criminal defence lawyers are dismayed that Immigration Minister Chris Alexander publicly branded a man charged with killing his wife a murderer before his trial. Alexander brought up the case of Nasira Fazli this week as he talked publicly about the need for legislation to crack down on so-called “honour” killings and polygamy among immigrants. “Not much more than one year ago, she was killed — 48 stab wounds — by her husband, Feraidon Mohammad Ibrahem, who had been in this country only for a few months, sponsored by her,” Alexander told a news conference at a women’s centre in westend Toronto. “While what he did is clearly a crime, among the gravest crimes that can be committed and that he is facing the full consequences of the law for murder, this was also a barbaric cultural practice in that he felt that he had been dishonoured by her ability to be independent.” Alexander went on to say that “that kind of behaviour by any immigrant, by any Canadian, is unacceptable.” Fazli, 31, of Ajax, Ont., was found stabbed to death in July 2013. Ibrahem’s preliminary inquiry wrapped up last month and he has yet to stand trial for firstdegree murder. Ibrahem’s defence lawyer, Fariborz Davoudi, expressed shock at the remarks. “Oh my god, I had no idea. Is he labelling this as an honour killing?” Davoudi said on Thursday. “There used to be a presumption of innocence in this country but I don’t know what happened to it.”

One person missing as train plunges into river SEPT-ILES, Que. — Part of a freight train carrying diesel fuel plunged into a Quebec river on Thursday, leaving its conductor missing and a silvery layer of oil floating on the water. The train, owned by Iron Ore Company of Canada, was made up of three locomotives and 240 empty cars. The lead locomotive had a capacity of 15,000 litres and ended up fully submerged in the Moisie River on the remote North Shore, said IOC spokeswoman Claudine

Mayhem on Interstate 81 26 PASSENGERS INJURED WHEN TORONTO-TO-NYC BUS CRASHES NEAR SYRACUSE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A bus heading from Toronto to New York City crashed into a wrecked car and a tractor-trailer on Interstate 81 outside Syracuse early Thursday, injuring more than two dozen people, authorities said. The Pine Hill Trailways bus with 52 passengers on board was travelling south on I-81 around 2:30 a.m. when it slammed into a car that had just crashed into a guard rail and came to rest in the highway’s left lane just south of Syracuse, the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies said the bus then hit the rear a tractortrailer whose driver had pulled over on the highway’s shoulder to offer assistance to the car’s driver. Twenty-six of the passengers and the bus driver were injured, officials said. It took emergency crews two hours to extricate the driver, Kelvin Sharpe Sr. of Buffalo, from the vehicle’s smashed-in front end, deputies said. He was in critical condition at a Syracuse hospital. The injured passengers mostly suffered lower extremity, chest, back and facial injuries, all of them apparently minor, police said. They were transported to hospitals in the 10 ambulances and other emergency vehicles that responded to the crash scene. Thirteen patients were treated at the Upstate University Hospital and 11 of them were released, a spokeswoman said in an email to The Canadian Press. Onondaga County sheriff’s detective Jon Seeber told the Post-Standard that there was a language barrier between some of the passengers and rescue crews. Police say the car driver, 36-year-old Robert Tarbell of Nedrow, has been charged with driving while intoxicated. He was being held in the Onondaga County Jail on $15,000 bail. I-81’s southbound lanes were closed until shortly before 5:30 a.m. Deputies said the bus left Toronto on Wednesday evening and was scheduled to arrive in New York City around 6:30 a.m. Thursday. The uninjured passengers were taken to Syracuse’s bus station, where some boarded another bus for Manhattan, while others arranged their own

This photo provided by the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office shows the bus involved in a crash with a tractor-trailer and a car that left 27 people injured on Interstate 81 early Thursday in Nedrow, N.Y. Twentysix passengers suffered minor injuries on the Pine Hills Trailways bus traveling from Toronto to New York City. The bus driver is in serious condition at a Syracuse hospital. Police say the car driver has been charged with driving while intoxicated. transportation back home. The bus is owned by Trailways of New York, a Hurley, N.Y.-based company that also operates Adirondack Trailways, New York Trailways and NeOn Bus. The American Bus Association, a Washington, D.C.-based trade group that issued a statement on behalf of Pine Hill, said the company operates buses daily between Ontario and New York City. Dan Ronan, an ABA spokesman, said the bus picked up passengers in Buffalo and Rochester.

Company officials were still trying to determine where the injured passengers are from, he said. Robert Johnson told Syracuse’s WSTM-TV that he boarded the bus in Rochester and was awake when the crash occurred, but many of the other passengers were sleeping at the time. “All I heard was a boom and my head hit the seat; I mean mad noise, it was crazy,” Johnson said. “I never experienced that in my life and I’m still scared to death by it.” — With files from The Canadian Press.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel that heard arguments on gay marriage bans or restrictions in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee on Aug. 6 split 2-1. The ruling concluded that states have the right to set rules for marriage and that such change as expanding a definition of marriage that dates “back to the earliest days of human history” is better done through political processes. Cincinnati attorney Al Gerhardstein, who represented gay plaintiffs in two cases in which he gained lower-court victories, said he will appeal to the Supreme Court. The president of pro-gay marriage group Freedom to Marry, Evan Wolfson, blasted the ruling as “on the wrong side of history.”

PHILADELPHIA — A woman snatched off the streets was rescued with the help of a GPS tracking device that had been installed on the suspect’s car by the dealer in case it needed to be repossessed, authorities said Thursday. It was just the latest arrest made possible by the surveillance technology that is seemingly everywhere nowadays. And it involved not just GPS but surveillance video, traffic-camera imagery and a leftbehind cellphone. Carlesha Freeland-Gaither, 22, was resting at her mother’s home in Philadelphia after a three-day ordeal that ended in Jessup, Maryland, on Wednesday when federal agents surrounded the car and seized the kidnapping suspect, who was lying next to her in the back seat. “My understanding is she continued to fight throughout this ordeal,” Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said. “She’s really a very, very strong young woman and just very, very lucky to have survived this.” The FBI filed a kidnapping charge Thursday night against the man accused of abducting her, Delvin Barnes, 37. He also faces unrelated state charges that he abducted and attempted to kill a 16-year-old Virginia girl. Police did not disclose a motive for the Philadelphia kidnapping. Court documents said Barnes confessed and told authorities he didn’t know his victim. Police Inspector James Kelly said Freeland-Gaither’s family told police she is doing well but “needs some time and space to heal.” Her rescue came after authorities spotted the used-car dealer’s name on a traffic camera photo of Barnes’ vehicle and recognized the dealership as one that routinely puts GPS devices on its cars, said sheriff’s Capt. Jayson Crawley, of Charles City County, Virginia. “We called the dealership, and within five minutes they had the location,” he said. He said the dealership sells to customers with poor credit and relies on GPS when it needs to find and repossess cars whose owners have fallen behind on the payments. GPS devices are commonly used by law enforcement authorities around the U.S. to track suspects and make arrests. But often those cases involve devices secretly planted by police. Though aided by technology, the Philadelphia kidnapping investigation began in a decidedly oldfashioned way: with a witness who saw it happen Sunday night and immediately called police. Police quickly discovered the abduction had been caught on video.

Islamic State group suffers setbacks BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — For a force that has built its reputation on an aura of momentum and invincibility, the Islamic State group is now dealing with a series of military setbacks in Iraq and a prolonged stalemate in the small Syrian border town of Kobani. Gone are the days when IS was able to seize territory in both countries with relative ease. Its newfound problems, including a loss of oil revenue, raise questions about the extent to which it will be able to continue recruiting fighters who want to be with a winner. “ISIS has run a very effective psychological campaign to intimidate its rivals and attract support and recruits,” said Faysal Itani, a resident fellow at the Atlantic Council, using an acronym for the extremists. But now, he said, the need to maintain its reputation is limiting the group’s options. This is particularly true in Kobani, where a pre-emptive IS withdrawal in the face of U.S.-led bombings from the sky and ethnic Kurdish fighters on the ground could prove too costly. “They have invested a lot in this battle, and people are noticing. They will soon start asking what’s going on?” said Ayed, a Turkey-based Syrian activist who travels back and forth to the group’s stronghold in the Syrian city of Raqqa. He declined to give his full name. The prolonged fighting in Kobani is also distracting IS from more strategically important areas in Syria and Iraq

UN Ebola chief hopeful to end outbreak in 2015 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The UN’s Ebola chief said an extraordinary global response over the past month has made him hopeful the outbreak could end in 2015, though he cautioned that the fight to contain the disease is not even a quarter done. “Until the last case of Ebola is under treatment, we have to stay on full alert,” Dr. David Nabarro said. “It’s still bad.” Nabarro said a month ago that the number of Ebola cases was probably doubling every three-to-four weeks. He warned then that without a mass global mobilization, “the world will have to live with the Ebola virus forever” and that the response needed to be 20 times greater. But in the past four weeks, the rate of Ebola infections seems to be slowing in some parts of West Africa, Nabarro said. In other hotspots, he said, it appears to be expanding the way it was a month ago. The World Health Organization on Wednesday reported a total of 13,042 cases of Ebola in West Africa and 4,818 deaths. It said the rate of new infections appears to be declining in Liberia, stable in Guinea and still rising in Sierra Leone. Nabarro said there are five times the number of beds for treatment in the three hardest-hit countries than there were two months ago, which is helping to reduce the number of cases, along with improving efforts to find people with infections and trace their contacts. Nabarro pointed to two other positive signs: The extraordinary global response in the last month and the mobilization of local communities in the three countries as a result of massive media campaigns and house-to-house “sensitization efforts” involving traditional leaders. He said these factors have “made me incredibly optimistic that in the coming months we could certainly see

since taking over large parts of Syria and Iraq in a summer blitz. Kurdish residents say the group appears to be struggling with personnel, bringing in inexperienced fighters and new recruits to reinforce the town. These include members of the IS police force known as Hisba, reassigned from nearby towns and cities, such as Raqqa and Manbij, under the group’s control.

U.S. nurse infected with Ebola calls for more training for health-care workers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — A Dallas nurse who was infected with Ebola after treating a sick patient said she didn’t have enough training beforehand on how to protect herself. “The first time that I put on the protective equipment, I was heading in to take care of the patient,” Amber Vinson told NBC’s Today show. Vinson was one of the more than 70 medical personnel who Amber Vinson were involved in the care of Thomas Eric Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. After being sent home from the emergency room Sept. 26, Duncan returned two days later and was quickly diagnosed with the virus. He died Oct. 8. “We didn’t have excessive training where we could don and doff, put on and take off the protective equipment, till we got a level of being comfortable with it,” Vinson said. “I didn’t have that, and I think that’s very important for hospitals across the nation, big and small.” Vinson flew Oct. 13 on a commercial jet from Cleveland to Dallas, one day before feeling the first symptoms of her virus. She said in the interview Thursday that she monitored her temperature and checked in with health officials before flying. She said reports

“Many Hisba members have left Raqqa in the past two weeks, telling people they were headed to Kobani,” Ayed said. They are not fighters.“ Kobani residents say recent U.S. airstrikes targeting IS in Kobani have inflicted heavy damage. “Their bodies are left for days rotting in the street without anyone picking them up,” said Farhad Shami, a Kobani-based activist. In a move that some observers interpreted as a sign of weakness, the Islamic State group recently released a video showing a captive British photojournalist “reporting” from a place identified as Kobani. In the video, he says the battle for Kobani “is coming to an end” and IS is “mopping up.” But despite seven weeks of fierce fighting and the reinforcements on both sides, fighting positions around Kobani remain much the same as they did several weeks ago, with IS controlling about 40 per cent of the town, according to Syrian and Kurdish activists and observers. IS has also recently suffered losses on several fronts in Iraq, where it is fighting government forces, peshmerga and Shiite militias aided by Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah group. Last week, Iraqi forces recaptured the town of Jurf al-Sakher. IS also lost Rabia, Mahmoudiyah and Zumar, a string of towns near the Syrian border, last month. Besieged Iraqi troops have also managed to maintain control of Iraq’s largest oil refinery outside the town of Beiji north of Baghdad, despite numerous attempts by the Islamic State group to capture it.

that she felt sick while travelling were false. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta has acknowledged that Vinson wasn’t stopped from flying. CDC Director Tom Frieden later said that was a mistake on the agency’s part. “I would never go outside of guidelines or boundaries or something directly from the CDC telling me I can’t go (or) I can’t fly,” Vinson said in the interview. Vinson attended to Duncan on Sept. 30, the day he tested positive for Ebola, according to medical records that Duncan’s family released to The Associated Press. Like Nina Pham, another Dallas nurse who treated Duncan and was infected, the reports note that Vinson wore protective gear and a face shield, hazardous materials suit, and protective footwear. At the time, Duncan’s body fluids were highly infectious if someone made contact with them. At one point, Vinson inserted a catheter into Duncan. She said she became fearful after learning that Pham was suspected of having Ebola. “I was floored,” she said. “I was afraid for myself and my family because I did everything that I was instructed to do every time and I felt like if Nina can get it, any one of us could have gotten it.” Vinson said Thursday that she feels well, but still gets tired sometimes. Asked whether she would be willing to treat another Ebola patient, Vinson said “absolutely.” Medical experts say an Ebola patient who survives the disease gains lasting immunity to the strain with which they were infected.

Flames get zapped by Lightning BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Lightning 5 Flames 2 TAMPA, Fla. — A scoreless night from star Steven Stamkos was no problem for the surging Tampa Bay Lightning. Cedric Paquette scored his first two NHL goals as the Lightning completed a fourgame home sweep by beating the Calgary Flames 5-2 on Thursday night. Tampa Bay also got goals from Brian Boyle, Tyler Johnson and Valtteri Filppula. The Lightning had scored 15 goals during three wins earlier in the homestand against Arizona, Philadelphia and Washington. “It’s big if Stammer’s line is not going, somebody else is picking that up,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. Stamkos was held without a point, finished minus-1, and got both of his shots during a third period in which the centre played just five shifts. Jiri Hudler and Sean Monahan scored for the Flames, who had won three in a row. Mark Giordano had two assists. “I felt that the effort was there,” Calgary coach Bob Hartley said. “I don’t think that we looked like a bunch of fat cats out there. It’s not a matter that they outworked us. They outsmarted us because we made some bad mistakes, but it’s a game of mistakes. No one does it on purpose, especially not in this organization.” After Paquette’s second goal at 61 seconds of the second period, Boyle put Tampa Bay up 3-1 at 4:02 on the rebound after Jonas Hiller stopped the forward’s initial

The Flames lost 5-2. shot during a short-handed breakaway. “We’ve got it going pretty good up and down the lineup,” Boyle said. “We want to continue that.” Monahan’s power-play goal 20 seconds after Boyle scored cut the Calgary deficit to 3-2. Johnson’s first goal in 12 games made it 4-2 at 40 seconds of the third. The centre had 13 assists over the previ-

ous nine games. Filppula added an emptynet goal with 2:10 to play. “We were forcing things, especially after they got up,” Giordano said. “I think we were forcing more than we normally do.” Paquette opened the scoring with his first NHL goal from in-close at 9:55 of the first. “It’s a great moment for

me,” Paquette said. “I think I will remember it for the rest of my life.” Hudler tied it at 1-1 when he beat Ben Bishop with 4:38 left in the period. Bishop stopped 29 shots, while Hiller made 28 saves. NOTES: NHL commissioner Gary Bettman attended the game and said the league is “keeping our eye” on Tampa for future events including the

All-Star Game. “We know this is a great place to host events,” Bettman said. ... Bettman remains upbeat about the establishment of a hockey World Cup and said talks are continuing with the players’ association. ... Calgary D Ladislav Smid was scratched because of an upper body injury but should play this weekend. ... Lightning C Alex Killorn sat out due to an injury.

Late collapse lands Oilers fourth straight loss BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Bruins 5 Oilers 2 BOSTON — The Boston Bruins have plenty of time to develop consistency. For now, scoring in spurts seems to be working just fine. The Bruins scored three goals in a span of 2:34 on Thursday night and rode the third-period flurry to a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers that extended Boston’s winning streak to four games. “Those games aren’t always perfect, but you like the way your team responds to different situations,” coach Claude Julien said. “We’re down 2-1, instead of panicking we just picked up our game and put our foot on the gas pedal and found a way to get some goals here.” A pair of Edmonton penalties helped, and Boston improved to 5-1 since losing captain Zdeno Chara to a knee injury. The Bruins are still adjusting to playing without the big defenceman — and winning while doing it. It took barely 2 ½ minutes for the Bruins to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead. Louie Eriksson tied it at 2, Carl Soderberg gave Boston the lead 1:25 later and Dougie Hamilton scored just 1:09 after Soderberg. “We didn’t play a really good game, but as soon as we

got that goal we started to get going and I think finished off pretty strong,” said Soderberg, who assisted on Eriksson’s goal with 8:56 left in the third. Soderberg was initially credited with the next two goals, but officials reviewed the video and concluded that Hamilton’s slap shot from the point was not deflected in by Soderberg. With a 4-2 lead at that point, the Bruins didn’t care much about who got the goal. “It doesn’t matter. I’m just happy it went in the net,” Hamilton said. “I didn’t really look at the goalie. I knew Carl was in front and I just tried to shoot low. Wherever it went, it went. I didn’t even see it go in.” Boston won its 13th in a row against the Oilers, who have not beaten the Bruins since Oct. 17, 2000. Tuukka Rask finished with 24 saves for Boston, which also got goals from Reilly Smith and Milan Lucic. Ben Scrivens made 27 saves for Edmonton, which lost its fourth consecutive game. Boyd Gordon scored in the first period and Mark Arcobello deposited a rebound 1:44 into the third to give the Oilers a 2-1 lead. Hamilton and Soderberg assisted on Eriksson’s goal that tied it, then Soderberg put Boston ahead 1:25 later with a power-play goal off a centring pass from Patrice Bergeron.

Boston Bruins center David Krejci tangles with Edmonton Oilers goalie Ben Scrivens during the first period of an NHL game, Thursday in Boston. The Oilers lost 5-2. Bergeron made the pass while being taken down by Edmonton’s Nikita Nikitin, who was called for tripping on the play. Boston capitalized on the power play again when Hamilton scored with 6:22 remaining. “We had a critical mistake off the rush,” Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins said. “A bad de-

cision, one that cost us and led to the next one as well. That’s a hard one to frame. It goes to the mindset that every moment is critical.” Lucic, playing his 500th career game, added an emptynetter with 7 seconds left. Smith scored late in the first to tie it 1-all. NOTES: The teams com-

The Leos can choose the unfriendly confines of frigid Commonwealth Stadium for a semi-final game against the red hot Edmonton Eskimos with a victory over Calgary. The Stamps will likely rest their walking wounded and will not have superstar tailback Jon Cornish in the lineup, so this game is B.C.’s call in my opinion. Do they want to meet the Edmonton Eskimos or leave that decision up to Saskatchewan with a loss? B.C. needs to make a statement to their fans and will win the game.

nent. Lions win at home. The biggest game of the weekend, between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes, is a little like a Facebook status: it’s complicated. The Alouettes can finish first or second in the East while the Tiger-Cats can finish first, second or out of the playoffs altogether, depending upon Toronto’s game. Hamilton will win this game. They have played well at their new doughnut shop and have enough horses on both sides of the ball to beat the surging Als. The strength of Montreal has been their defence and talented corps of receivers. Montreal quarterback Jon Crompton has been able to use his exceptional receivers to make big plays for him, particularly Duron Carter. However, Montreal will face a very mobile Ticats quarterback in Zach Collaros and Hamilton’s secondary will

play better cover against the Als’ receivers. Take away the big play capabilities and Montreal will become mortal on offence. ’Cats take first in the East Division. The last game of the regular season rematches the Saskatchewan Roughriders at home against the Eskimos. Edmonton will rest some of its stars in the game, while the ’Riders will presumably attempt to halt a lengthy winless streak. The two biggest questions: do the ’Riders even want to win the game if B.C. loses? And who plays quarterback for them? The answer, my friend, will be blowing in the cold November wind in Regina. The ’Riders quarterback who takes the most snaps in this game will start in the playoffs. ’Riders win the last game of the 2014 regular season with Kerry Joseph at quarterback.

WHL ON

THE ICE THIS WEEK IN REBELS HISTORY Third-year forward Colby Armstrong scored twice to lead the Colby Red Deer Armstrong Rebels to a 4-3 win over the host Calgary Hitmen on Nov. 4 of 2001. Armstrong sandwiched two goals around a single from teammate Diarmuid Kelly in a span of 4:06 in the middle frame as the Rebels wiped out a 2-1 deficit and hung on to edge the Hitmen before 6,840 WHL fans at the Saddledome. It was the third game in three nights for the Rebels, who kicked off their perfect weekend with a 3-1 win over visiting Vancouver and licked the Hurricanes by the same score 24 hours later in Lethbridge. “Overall, I thought we played well today. We were a little sluggish in the first period coming off last night’s game, but the kids came out hard the next period and were rewarded for it,” Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter told the Advocate.

FABULOUS FRESHMAN Kamloops Blazers RW Devin Sideroff is the WHL rookie scoring leader with nine goals Devin and 19 points Sideroff in 19 games. The 17-year-old from Summerland, B.C., is also an impressive plus-11.

WHO’S HOT Kelowna Rockets C Rourke Chartier is riding a fivegame scoring streak in which Rourke he’s sniped Chartier seven goals and collected 11 points dating back to Oct. 25. The 18-year-old Saskatoon product sits second in league scoring with 27 points (15g,12a).

HE SAID IT “It’s certainly not the way I planned this year to go. But there’s certainly a lot of things I Sam can take out of Reinhart that experience and take throughout the year, learn and build off of. At that level, every shift you have to have that intensity. It’s not as much skating up and down the ice as fast as you can, it’s just intensity and urgency on the puck. You have to go and want it.” — Kootenay Ice star forward Sam Reinhart, to Taylor Rocca of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman, in reference to being returned to the WHL squad Oct. 31 after playing nine game with the Buffalo Sabres, who selected him second overall in the 2014 NHL entry draft.

No guarantees after getting drafted 10 REBELS PLAYERS WHO HEARD THEIR NAME CALLED AT NHL DRAFT BUT HAVE YET TO SUIT UP IN THE BIG LEAGUES BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR For every Western Hockey League player who gets drafted into the NHL and enjoys a long, successful career at the top, there are many more who barely get their toes wet in the world’s premier league before toiling in the minors or overseas. And then there are many who don’t even see the light of day in the NHL. The Red Deer Rebels aren’t immune to that fact, with at least 17 former players — including 10 from the ‘90s — having heard their names on NHL draft day only to have it become a pipe dream. The list of players drafted out of the Rebels organization since 2000 and 2009 (players drafted later could still get their shot) who have yet to appear in a single NHL regularseason includes Justin Weller, a six-foot-two, 205-pound defenceman who was taken by the Phoenix Coyotes in the fourth round — 105th overall — of the ‘09 entry draft. Weller graduated from the junior ranks in 2012 and played two full seasons in the ECHL with the exception of three outings with the AHL Portland Pirates last winter. The Daysland native is now enrolled at the University of Alberta and will suit up with the Golden Bears next season. Also on the list: Jared Walker (Chicago, 7th round, #223 overall, 2004) Walker scored only 11 goals in his draft season but his size — 6-3, 210 pounds — made him at least an outside pro prospect. He was dealt to Prince George the following year and then played a little over four seasons at the University of Manitoba before turning pro in 2012 with Bloomington of the CHL. The left winger is currently with Wichita of the ECHL. Joel Stepp (Anaheim, 3rd round, #69 overall, 2001) A member of the Rebels 2001 Memorial Cup championship

Weller is just one of a few Rebels who have heard their name called at the NHL draft but did not play a game in the league. team, Stepp racked up 53 points — including 27 goals — the year after his draft season but injuries halted his development and he played only 36 games — including 12 in the playoffs — the following winter. Still, he earned an NHL contract, but never got beyond the AHL over the next three years. The centre, now 31, last played in 200708, with Pensacola and Stockton of the ECHL. John Flatters (Philadelphia, 6th round, #174 overall, 2005) Flatters, a rugged, six-footone, 217-pound rearguard, was dealt to the Vancouver Giants early in the 2005-06 season and also played with Prince Albert and Saskatoon. He moved directly from the WHL to the university ranks and was a member of the UBC Thunderbirds for two seasons. Now 27, Flatters has no record of playing anywhere since the 2009-10 season with the T-Birds. Morgan Clark (Vancouver, 7th round, #191 overall, 2008) The six-foot-one goaltender posted a 3.70 GAA and .884 save percentage during his draft season. He was traded to Swift

Current the following campaign and also suited up with Prince George for two games before clearing WHL waivers and moving to the QMJHL in 2010. He then attended St. Francis Xavier for three seasons and last blocked shots for the Axemen in 2013-14. Ladislav Kouba (Phoenix, 7th round, #216 overall, 2002) Kouba saw limited action during the Rebels’ ultra-successful playoff run in the spring of 2001, then returned to score 16 regular-season goals in his draft year. The Czech import and left winger, a physical load at sixfoot-three, 210 pounds, spent the following season with the Rebels and split the 2003-04 campaign between Red Deer and the minor pro ranks. There is no record of Kouba playing beyond 2008, following two seasons in the CHL. Tommi Koivisto (Carolina, 7th round, #208 overall, 2009) The Finnish blueliner was with the Rebels just one season, scoring once and adding 22 assists in 65 games. He played the next two years in his home

country, then returned to North America in the fall of 2012 and appeared in 65 regular-season games split between Florida of the ECHL and Charlotte of the AHL. Koivisto returned home last year and is currently in his second season with Ilves Tampere. Shane Bendera (Columbus, 6th round, #169 overall, 2000) A year after being drafted, the Edmonton native was the WHL playoff MVP in the spring of 2001, back-stopping the Rebels to the league title and ultimately the Memorial Cup championship. Despite posting a 2.28 GAA and .918 save percentage in 20 games the following season, Bendera was dealt to the Kelowna Rockets when Rebels GM/ head coach Brent Sutter was convinced that current Carolina Hurricanes netminder Cam Ward was ready to handle the load as a 17-year-old. Bendera played two seasons in the ECHL between 2002 and ‘04 before retiring, and is now residing in Edmonton. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

kota Conroy and Colton McCarthy recently walked away from the Prince Albert Raiders and promptly requested trades. Perhaps both will return with the ouster of head coach Cory Clouston late last week and the ensuing appointment of Marc Habscheid as bench boss. If not, Conroy, although 20, should garner interest from rival WHL clubs. While he has put up just two points (1-1) in 10 games this fall, Conroy sniped 30 goals last season and potted 21 the winter before, and thus would be attractive to any number of teams. The Rebels probably aren’t interested, unless GM/head coach Brent Sutter feels Conroy would be an upgrade over Brooks Maxwell or Devan Fafard (overage defenceman Brett Cote isn’t going anywhere soon). Sutter might be interested in defenceman Connor Hobbs, who returned home to Regina last weekend, unhappy with his ice time with the Medicine Hat Tigers. The 17-year-old was playing third-pairing minutes with the Tigers, who have five blueliners 19 years of age and older. Hobbs, who was with Team Canada at the Memorial of Ivan Hlinka tournament in August,

would be a nice fit for the Rebels, the hosts of the 2016 Memorial Cup tournament. But again, it’s more likely he’ll be moved to a club not residing in the Central Division or possibly even the Eastern Conference. ● Habscheid, meanwhile, admitted he’s treading lightly as the new man behind the Raiders bench. “I will try to evaluate where we’re at and the types of players we have. I’m getting to know the players and trying not to reinvent the wheel right now,” he told CBC News Saskatchewan Tuesday “When we looked at our game, we just felt that there were nights that, you know, the inconsistency part of it and the energy within how we played at times was lacking,” said Raiders GM Bruno Campese, explaining the decision to replace Clouston with Habscheid, who won a WHL title as head coach with Kelowna in 2003 and was named the CHL coach of the year that season. “And some of the passion within our players (was lacking), so we just felt that it was time to do something,” added Campese. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Queens fall to EDGE in exhibition game BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF EDGE 4 Queens 1 Coming off their first win of the season, the last thing the Red Deer College Queens could afford to do was sleep walk through the first period on Thursday — oops. The Queens were out played badly by the EDGE Hockey Academy in the first 20 minutes and found themselves in a three-goal hole they were unable to dig out of and lost 4-1. Kate Hufnagel scored twice for EDGE while Hali Reardon and Emma Merlo also tallied. Emily Severson made 17 saves for the win. Rachael Hoppins scored Red Deer’s lone goal while freshman goalie Summer Roberts was on the hook for all four goals on 23 shots. “When you play 40 out 0f 60 minutes, you can’t expect anything better,” said Queens head coach Bob Rutz. “The first period was absolutely horrendous on our part, we had no battle or compete ... “I tip my cap to (the girls), they didn’t quit, they responded after my time out, I had a real stern message for them and in the second and third periods we were great.” Edge went up 3-0 in the first 11:53 on goals by Hufnagel, Reardon and Merlo in a six minute and 37 second span. All three goals came on plays within two feet of Roberts, an unacceptable situation for Rutz. “The goalie’s got to find the puck and everyone has to box out,” he said. “It’s just a battle and compete thing, they were all secondary chances, so our goalie stopped the first puck. We were soft in front of our net and that was the difference.” However, the Queens settled down after Rutz called his time out following the third goal and played with Edge over the final 48 minutes. Hoppins scored a power-play goal

Red Deer College Queen’s defenceman Keinyn Nordell dives to knock the puck off of EDGE Women‘s Hockey Academy defenceman Katie Duncan during women’s college exhibition action at the Red Deer Arena on Thursday. EDGE won 4-1. at 17:16 of the second period but Hufnagel iced it with her second at 6:11 of the third period, on another chance in close. Getting behind by three goals early killed them when they have struggled to score multiple goals in a game. They had broken out this past Fri-

day against the SAIT Trojans in Calgary with a 6-4 victory, their first of the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference season, but they did not have the same magic going on Thursday. “We work hard for our chances, we hit a couple of posts and they don’t give a lot in the D-zone,” said Rutz.

“We still have to learn to burry our chances.” The Queens are back in action next Thursday when they host the MacEwan University Griffins at 7 p.m. at the Arena. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Tarasenko continues tear leading Blues to another win over Devils NHL ROUNDUP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BLUES 4 DEVILS 3 ST. LOUIS — Vladimir Tarasenko stretched his goal-scoring streak to four games and the St. Louis Blues extended their NHL-best winning streak to seven with a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night. Jake Allen made 24 saves for the Blues and ran his shutout streak to 184 minutes before giving up his first goal in two weeks. Tarasenko and linemate Jaden Schwartz each had a goal and an assist. Tarasenko has scored five goals during his four-game streak and eight in his last six games overall. Alexander Steen and David Backes also scored for St. Louis. Jori Lehtera had two assists. Allen, who blanked the Devils 1-0 Tuesday night in New Jersey, had his shutout streak snapped at 184:01 when Michael Ryder beat him at 16:35 of the third period. Prior to that, Allen had not allowed a goal since Vancouver’s Linden Vey scored on him at 11:57 of the third period on Oct. 23. Marek Zidlicky then scored at 18:09 for New Jersey and Ryder added his second of the game with 50.5 seconds left to make it 4-3. Devils goalie Cory Schneider was pulled in the third. PENGUINS 4, JETS 3, SO WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Sidney Crosby scored the shootout winner to lift Pittsburgh to its sixth straight win. Crosby and Evgeni Malkin scored in the shootout, while Marc-Andre Fleury stopped shots by Winnipeg’s Andrew Ladd and Evander Kane after Blake Wheeler scored for the Jets to open the shootout. Brandon Sutter had a goal and two assists, while Steve Downie and Simon Despres added goals for Pittsburgh in regulation. Fleury finished with 34

saves through overtime. Ladd, Jacob Trouba and Kane scored for the Jets, who now have points in seven straight games. Ondrej Pavelec stopped 32 shots for Winnipeg. The teams combined for 102 penalty minutes and three fights, but no powerplay goals. PREDATORS 3, STARS 2 DALLAS (AP) — Matt Cullen scored the go-ahead goal at 13:47 of the third period in Nashville’s victory over slumping Dallas. Goals by Trevor Daley and Patrick Eaves rallied Dallas from a 2-0 deficit. But the Stars have lost their last six games (0-4-2), and are 1-2-4 at home. Craig Smith and Filip Forsberg scored power-play goals in the second period for Nashville, which is 3-2 on a six-game road trip. The Predators had only two power-play goals in their first nine games, but have scored four in the last four games. Predators goalie Pekka Rinne made 33 saves. Derek Roy and Matthias Ekholm each had two assists. SENATORS 3, WILD 0 OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Mike Hoffman scored twice and Craig Anderson stopped 34 shots to lead Ottawa over Minnesota. Clarke MacArthur also had a goal for the Senators. Anderson earned his second shutout this season and the 28th of his career. Niklas Backstrom made 14 saves for Minnesota. The Wild have outshot their opponents in all 12 games this season, but they’ve lost their past two. FLYERS 4, PANTHERS 1 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sean Couturier had a goal and an assist in the first period, Jakub Voracek continued his offensive surge, and Philadelphia cruised past Florida. Voracek got his sixth goal of the season to pull into tie with Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby with a league-leading 19 points. Michael Del Zotto and PierreEdouard Bellemare also scored for Philadelphia, which has won four straight at home. Brayden Schenn added two assists.

Nick Bjugstad scored his first goal of the season for the Panthers, who had earned at least one point in their previous seven games. Steve Mason made 35 saves, including a big third-period stop on Bjugstad, to pick up his second straight win for the Flyers. Roberto Luongo stopped 30 shots for Florida. AVALANCHE 4, MAPLE LEAFS 3, SO DENVER (AP) — Alex Tanguay scored in regulation and had the decisive goal in a shootout to lift Colorado over Toronto. Matt Duchene also scored in regulation and the shootout for the Avalanche, who ended a three-game skid. Colorado lost a late lead but made up for it in the shootout. All three shooters scored, starting with Nathan MacKinnon. Reto Berra made 33 saves in his first

start in six games. Tyler Bozak scored in regulation and had Toronto’s only goal in the shootout. Phil Kessel and Richard Panik also scored for the Maple Leafs.

Despite comeback win over U.S., Canada knows it has to be better at Four Nations BY THE CANADIAN PRESS KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Canadian head coach Doug Derraugh knows his team can’t keep relying on dramatic third periods against the United States. Canada scored twice in the final five minutes on Wednesday in a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the Americans in roundrobin play at the Four Nations Cup, a game reminiscent of the women’s gold-medal final at the Sochi Olympics when Canada scored late in regulation and again in overtime to stun the U.S. Derraugh — who is in his first tournament as head coach and will also lead the team at next year’s world championship — said nerves played a role for his young team in front of the home crowd early, but added a better overall effort will be required moving forward. “I thought we settled in a little bit as the game went on,” said Derraugh, whose team sits at 2-0 and already has a spot in Saturday’s final locked up. “There were moments where I thought we played really well, and I thought there were moments where we struggled. “I think if we’re going to have success against (the U.S.) any time from here on out that we would need to play a stronger game than we did Wednesday.”

Lions, Stamps look to build momentum for playoffs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions and Calgary Stampeders will put on a quarterbacking show Friday in their final game of the 2014 CFL regular season at B.C. Place Stadium. Both clubs plan to use two signal-callers as they get ready for the playoffs. Kevin Glenn will start as usual for the Lions (9-8) as they attempt to lock up third place in the West Division. But rarely used backup John Beck, the league’s oldest rookie quarterback at 33, will also see action. “It’s one of those situations where I’m going to let (Glenn) play as much as he needs to,” said Lions coach Mike Benevides. “I don’t have any thoughts of having a sequence in and out.” Backup Drew Tate will start for the Stampeders (14-3), who have secured first place and a bye to the Western Final at home. Starter Bo Levi Mitchell will see limited duty as Cal-

gary attempts to bounce back from an upset loss to Winnipeg during a snowstorm at home last weekend. With a win, the Lions can clinch third and a road game against the Edmonton Eskimos. If B.C. loses, a possible cross-over to the East Division playoffs could result. “To be honest with you, as anybody says, nobody really cares (about playing in the West or East), as long as we get an opportunity,” said Benevides. “But I do think that, in order to have any sort of momentum and feel the way we should feel as a football team, or need to feel, we have to find a way to play well (Friday).” While using multiple quarterbacks, both clubs will also make numerous lineup changes as they attempt to make up for embarrassing losses. The Lions are looking to bounce back after an embarrassing 373 loss in Edmonton last weekend. Glenn said it’s important for the Lions to play well

even though the Stampeders will not be as strong as usual. The 14-year veteran said he understands his team needs to rest him, but he also has a strong desire to play. He does not need considerable playing time to tune up for the playoffs. “It’s the time that (coaches are) willing to give,” he said. “I’ve been in this league long enough to know that I don’t necessarily have to play the whole game to be ready, if that’s the given situation and they want to play other guys, to see other guys.” Beck, a former NFL journeyman was initially slated to be No. 3 but moved into a backup role after Glenn assumed the No. 1 role in wake of Travis Lulay’s shoulder troubles. Beck could see his most minutes yet behind centre. “That’s exciting for me,” said Beck. “So whatever happens, happens. Nothing’s really been set out (in terms of) specifics.” B.C.’s other most notable

change on offence will see running back Stefan Logan assume the starting tailback role after he missed four games — two due to injury and two more after being displaced from the roster. Linebacker Adam Bighill’s absence (hand) will be the most significant one on defence. Despite the fact that the game is shaping up as a quasiexhibition contest due to all of the lineup changes, B.C. defensive back Ryan Phillips said the Lions have a renewed sense of urgency in wake of the one-sided loss to Edmonton. “We’re not looking at this game as a meaningless game or anything like that,” said Phillips. “Every game counts.” Meanwhile, Calgary general manager and coach John Hufnagel plans to play QBs Tate and Mitchell on a “50-50” or “60-40” basis depending on how the game goes. Hufnagel chose to start Tate in order to give him “added pressure” in case he has to play in the post-

season. The Stamps want to play well heading into a bye in order to avoid a repeat home loss in the West Final after they fell to eventual Grey Cup champion Saskatchewan last year. “We definitely don’t want to have that happen again, and (we want to) just take advantage of the opportunity that we all have (Friday),” said Tate. The Stamps will try to regain their offensive momentum without CFL rushing leader Jon Cornish, who had to leave Saturday’s game against Winnipeg in the second quarter after bouncing his head off the McMahon Stadium turf. Martell Mallett will see “the lion’s share, so to speak” in his place, said Hufnagel. While many teammates are rested, Calgary receiver Marquay McDaniel will return after being out since Sept. 13 with a broken wrist. “(The game) might not mean anything, but it means something to me just being out there,” said McDaniel.

Harris’s first CFL start a must-win for Argonauts BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

be in there, to take the reps and call the plays,” he said. “That can go a long way come gametime. “I started a lot of games in college, I’ve played a lot of games and there’s nerves every time you step on the field. But once that first snap is over, you usually get those nerves out and just start playing loose.” Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris, a 16-year CFL veter-

an, said overcoming nerves is challenging for a young quarterback. “You better get used to loving butterflies because you’re going to be feeling them and seeing them fly around you for a couple of days leading up to the game,” he said. “The anxiety is going to be flowing the night before when you’re trying to go to sleep and constantly start to rehearse plays in your head.

“The most important thing is his teammates are going to rally around him and give him the best chance of knowing that he doesn’t need to do everything himself. I think that’s the No. 1 thing you have to communicate to a young quarterback because once you press and try to do too much that’s when bad things happen.” Milanovich, himself a former quarterback, agrees.

“I don’t want (Harris) trying to be a hero from the pocket,” he said. “I want him to get through his progressions and if it’s time for him to make a play he needs to make it. “We don’t believe our season is over. I told our guys this is our last chance to keep the dream we all have alive, which is to be champions at the end of the year. I think we’ll come out of the game playing hard.”

TORONTO — Trevor Harris doesn’t have the luxury of easing into his first CFL start. Harris, 28, makes his CFL starting debut Friday night when the Toronto Argonauts host the expansion Ottawa Redblacks. He replaces veteran Ricky Ray, who suffered a concussion in Sunday’s 17-14 loss to the Montreal Alouettes. The Argos (7-10) must beat Ottawa (2-15) to remain in playoff contention. They also require Montreal to defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday to clinch second in the East Division and host either Saskatchewan or B.C. in the conference semifinal Nov. 16. “Absolutely,” Harris said confidently when told Friday’s contest was a must-win for Toronto. “That’s the best kind.” Hamilton would clinch second with a Toronto loss or by beating Montreal on Saturday. The Ticats would finish first — and secure home-field advantage for the East final Nov. 23 — by beating the Alouettes by eight points or more. At first glance, giving IN PRICE a young quarterback the Ω ADJUSTMENTS chance to make his first Amount available on the UP TO start against an expansion † 2014 Veloster Turbo Manual franchise would seem a ON SELECT MODELS perfect scenario for the Argos.

Browns rough up Dalton, Bengals NFL BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Browns 24 Bengals 3 CINCINNATI, Ohio — Cornerback Joe Haden led a line of Browns players jumping to slap hands with joyous fans in the first row. The stadium was filled with the sound of woofing. Felt like times from way, way back when. And with a dominating performance, the Browns suggested they’ve finally made it all the way back. The team that has been the AFC North’s bottom dweller for years climbed back into the top spot Thursday night. The Browns were all over Andy Dalton all night long, turning a first-place showdown into a shockingly one-sided 24-3 victory. With every interception and every sack, the Browns showed they’re for real. “This is a little different Browns team than the rest of the league is used to seeing,” said Haden, who shadowed A.J. Green all over the field and shut him down again. Cleveland (6-3) improved on its best start in 20 years and moved into a firstplace tie with Pittsburgh. The Browns also snapped their streak of 17 straight losses to division opponents on the road. The last win? Also in Cincinnati, a 20-12 victory on Sept. 28, 2008. “A huge boost for our guys,” coach Mike Pettine said. “Just look at the streaks we ended. Not many people gave us a chance.” Just like the Browns, the Bengals (5-3-1) were trying to break away from some bad franchise history. They’ve played some of their worst games in prime time and wanted to show they were finally ready to hold up under the national attention. Instead, they crumbled along with their quarterback. They also got drubbed 43-17 during a Sunday night game in New England this season. Cincinnati fell to 18-41 in prime time. “It does confound me,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “For whatever reason, the two times (in prime time) this year we didn’t play well. Because we were at home, there was an energy and excitement instead of being steely-eyed and focusing on what we have to do.” Dalton was 10 of 33 for 86 yards with three interceptions and two sacks and a passer rating of 2. It was another biggame meltdown for the fourth-year quarterback, who has led his team to the playoffs three years in a row only

Cleveland Browns’ Ben Tate (44) goes in on a 4-yard touchdown run during the first half of an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, in Cincinnati. The Browns won the game 24-3. to lose opening games all three times. “We didn’t start fast and that’s on me,” Dalton said. “I missed a couple early and could never get into a rhythm.” The game marked the first since 1986 — when Bernie Kosar and Boomer Esiason were the quarterbacks — that the intrastate rivals played with first place on the line so late in the season. The Browns won that one 34-3. And they were in charge right from the start of this one, too. Playing in a cold, gusty wind, Dalton was repeatedly off-target and made a big early mistake. His first pass was high and incomplete. His next one was intercepted by linebacker Craig Robertson, who returned it to the 18. Five plays later, Ben Tate went into the end zone from 4 yards for the lead. “We put a lot of pressure on their receivers by covering them tight,”

cornerback Buster Skrine said. “He overthrew a lot of balls. He started the game with an interception and after that, nothing went right for him.” It never got any better for Cincinnati, which self-destructed in a tonesetting first half. Kevin Huber’s 25-yard punt into the wind set up a 59-yard touchdown drive by the Browns, highlighted by Brian Hoyer’s completions of 17 and 22 yards to Travis Benjamin. Isaiah Crowell carried the last two yards for a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter. Billy Cundiff’s 32-yard field goal made it 17-3 at halftime. It was Cleveland’s biggest halftime lead in Cincinnati since 1994, when the Browns won 28-20. The Browns essentially put it away late in the third quarter when Hoyer completed a 28-yard pass to tight end Gary Barnidge in the middle of

tight coverage. Terrance West went in from a yard out for a 24-3 lead that sent some Bengals fans to the exits. Cleveland rushed for 170 yards after managing only 158 in the last three games combined. West led the way with 94 yards on 26 carries. Hoyer was 15 of 23 for 198 yards. The only good moments for the crowd of 65,871 came after the first quarter when 4-year-old Leah Still — daughter of defensive tackle Devon Still — was on the field for a check presentation. The girl is fighting cancer and flew in from Philadelphia to see her father play for the first time. The Bengals raised more than $1 million for cancer research and treatment through sales of Still’s No. 75 jersey. Still wrote “Leah Strong” on the eye black strip across his face, and police officers at the game had his No. 75 on the back of their uniforms.

NFL to stage three Hearing for Ray Rice’s NFL suspension appeal concludes after two days more regular-season NFL games in London next year BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — The NFL will stage three more regular-season games at Wembley Stadium in London again next season, including the first-ever division game in England. The schedule also includes games played on consecutive Sundays in London for the first time. The Miami Dolphins will return to London for a third time to face the New York Jets on Oct. 4 in an AFC East matchup. The Jacksonville Jaguars will play the Buffalo Bills on Oct. 25. And, the following week, the Detroit Lions will be back for the second year in a row to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 1. The Dolphins, Jaguars and Chiefs will be the “home” teams. The Bills, Chiefs and Jets will play regular-season games in Britain for the first time. “It is an honour for Kansas City to represent the NFL on an international stage,” Chiefs president Mark Donovan said in a statement. “We are excited for the opportunity this creates for our fans, our city and the global growth of the Chiefs brand.” The league will play the last of three games this year on Sunday when the Dallas Cowboys take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Earlier this season, the Miami Dolphins beat the Oakland Raiders and the Detroit Lions defeated the Atlanta Falcons. This season was the first time the league played three games at Wembley. There were two games last season, and one in each of the previous six seasons. The Jaguars have agreed to play a home game in London for four years through 2016. The game times for next year’s games will be announced at a later date. This year’s Lions-Fal-

cons game kicked off at 1:30 p.m. in London, making it the earliest televised NFL game in the U.S. at 9:30 a.m. on the east coast and 6:30 a.m. on the west coast. All other games have started in the evening London time. “We believe we have a great 2015 schedule that will continue to attract new fans to our sport and strengthen the bonds with our existing fans,” NFL executive vice-president of international Mark Waller said in a statement. “To provide U.K. fans the opportunity to see games on consecutive weekends, to see new teams, and to attend a division game, which feature some of the most passionate rivalries in our sport, are signs of the growth and depth of our U.K. fan base.”

NEW YORK — Ray Rice and wife Janay testified Thursday on the final day of a hearing in the former Baltimore Ravens running back’s appeal of his indefinite NFL suspension. The arbitration hearing before a former federal judge will determine whether the NFL overstepped its authority in modifying Rice’s two-game suspension, making it indefinite after video of the running back hitting his wife — then his fiancee — was released by TMZ. Rice and Janay Rice left the hearing separately about three hours apart after each testified at former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones’ office. “I can trust it’s a fair process,” said Rice’s attorney, Peter Ginsberg. Two people familiar with the case said there’s no timetable for Jones to make her decision, though one person said she has asked the sides to submit closing briefs next week. Both spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the arbiter has told the sides not to discuss details of the private hearing. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell testified for more than two hours to start the appeal hearing Wednesday, according to one of the sources. Ray and Janay Rice attended the full hearing Wednesday. The began nearly two months after the for-

mer Pro Bowl running back was suspended indefinitely by the NFL and released by the Ravens. League security chief Jeffery Miller and Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome also testified in the hearing. Ravens President Dick Cass, who was previously expected to testify, was not asked to take part in the hearing, one of the sources said. The NFL players’ union said in a statement that the hearing was fair and thorough, and thanked NFL owners and officials for agreeing to use a neutral arbiter. “The collectively bargained rights of all players must be vehemently preserved and we take that obligation seriously,” the statement said. “This appeal, presided over by a neutral arbitrator, which included a presentation of all the relevant facts, witness testimony to the truth and cross examination, is the due process that every athlete deserves.” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy declined comment. “We continue to respect the confidentiality order set weeks ago,” he said. Rice was suspended indefinitely Sept. 8 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Rice is seeking immediate reinstatement, though it’s unlikely a team would sign him this season. Rice has also filed a separate wrongful termination grievance against the Ravens. Goodell originally suspended the running back for two games.

Aussie middleweight getting a second chance DANIEL KELLY STEPPING BACK INTO OCTAGON AFTER NATIONS LOSS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The last time most UFC fans saw Daniel Kelly, the Australian middleweight was sitting forlornly on his stool — an ice bag on a damaged knee. The former judo Olympian had just lost to Sheldon Westcott via first-round submission in episode 6 of “The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs. Australia,” which aired in February. “That was embarrassing,” Kelly said after limping back to his stool. “No it wasn’t,” said Australia coach Kyle Noke. “Yes it was,” said Kelly. On Friday, the 37-year-old from Melbourne returns to the cage to face American Luke Zachrich on the undercard of a UFC Fight Night card in Sydney. “It’s awesome,” Kelly said. “I was really really really happy for the opportunity. Because the (TV) show didn’t go very well. It’s a bit of a chance at redemption for me.” American Luke Rockhold, ranked fifth among middleweight contenders, takes on No. 9 Michael Bisping of England in the main event Also on the undercard at the Allphones

Arena, Canadian welterweight Chris (The Menace) Clements faces Australia’s Vik Grujic. Kelly (7-0) has fought once since his appearance on “The Ultimate Fighter,” which was filmed in late 2013. He choked out Ben Kelleher in the second round in May in a local promotion. The Australian tore his medial ligament as well as his lateral meniscus during the Westcott bout — which didn’t count against his professional record because it was only a two-round fight. The Canadian went right at Kelly and injured his knee by slamming him to the canvas. “The lateral meniscus hasn’t healed but it’s still manageable now,” Kelly said. “Anyone who fights is walking around with some kind of injury.” Surgery was one option. “I possibly could have gone that track,” Kelly conceded. “But I run my own business, I run a gym (Melbourne’s Resilience Training Centre) and I really couldn’t afford to take the time out to have surgery. So it’s just an (injury) management thing.” Kelly has mixed feelings about his time in rural Quebec during filming of the reality TV show. He knows it gave him a leg up in competing in the UFC.

Daniel Kelly But being locked away for seven weeks a continent away from his family — he has kids aged eight and five — was difficult. “It was harder than I thought it would be,” he said. Kelly also found it weird watching himself on TV when the series began to air. And he called the episode in which he fought “uncomfortable to watch.” But he makes no excuses for the loss to Westcott. “Sheldon was better than me on that night.”

TORONTO — Edmonton welterweight Ryan (The Real Deal) Ford has been suspended for six months for stepping into the cage with a broken arm to face Jake Shields on a World Series of Fighting card last month. Pat Reid, executive director of the Edmonton Combative Sports Commission, said Ford got the ban for lying about his health on his statutory declaration to a commissioner of oaths. Ford (22-5) took the main event fight to Shields (30-7) in the early going but lost via submission at four minutes 29 seconds of the first round at the Edmonton Expo Centre on Oct. 11. After the fight, Ford released a video, which he said was made Oct. 2, acknowledging he had broken his ulna — one of the two long bones in the forearm — two days earlier in training. He said he fought with the injury because he needed the paycheque. Fighters had to go through pre-fight blood work, MRIs and eye examination before going through physical testing in front of a doctor and an exercise physiologist. Ford had to do 10 knuckle push-ups among the tests.

Kelly, who co-owns his gym, is the only Australian to make four Olympic teams in judo (2000, ’04, ’08 and ’12). His highest finish was seventh in 2004. He also wrestled at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and has coached judo. Kelly has enjoyed a long career but acknowledges it has put “a lot of miles on the body.” He monitors his training carefully as a result. Still he savours learning MMA, a sport he only jumped into in late 2012. “I was always a fan and I just thought I’d have a go at it ... I became a little obsessed with it and here I am,” he said with a chuckle. “My wife keeps saying ’At some point, you’re going to have to stop all of this.”’ “But I love it,” he added. “And at the moment I’m doing OK.” The 32-year-old Zachrich (14-3) was a cast member on Season 7 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” The brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu is 1-1 in the UFC, winning a decision over Guilherme Vasconcelos last time out at UFC 175. “He’s well-rounded. He’s got good standup, good jiu-jitsu so it’s going to be a hard fight,” said Kelly. “They’re all hard fights at the UFC level so I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

NHL goalie helmets come to life USING TALENTS OF GREAT ARTISTS TO ADD PERSONAL FLAIR TO MASKS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Steve Mason unzipped the bag and inside found zombie heads with mouths agape staring right back at him through whitewashed eyes. Mason removed his newly painted goalie helmet, the latest piece of art for his collection, and pinpointed Philadelphia Flyers teammates who have been transformed into decaying faces and rotting corpses. There was Claude Giroux, with white eyes matching the colour of the captains’ patch on his jersey. Wayne Simmonds and Jakub Voracek may as well have lumbered straight off the set of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video. “Beautiful,” Mason said, rotating his helmet to eye each ghoulish character. Mason’s helmet does more than protect his noggin from pucks whipped in his direction on a daily basis. It’s a symbol of his love for both ghouls and his teammates, a colorful sign of respect for the guys on the ice who watch his back. The helmet was made by airbrush ace Franny Drummond, one of a very few NHL helmet artists who make the designs come to life. He “zombified” several Flyers for Mason’s latest helmet, creating perhaps the most frightening mask this side of Jason Voorhees. “I just think it looks cool on a helmet,” Mason said. “Ever since I was a young goaltender, I always thought the scary-looking helmets were the coolest ones.” The 41-year-old Drummond littered his desk with pictures of the Flyers he used as a template for his work. Drummond then picked up his Iwata airbrush loaded with orange clear-coat automotive paint — picked because of its durability, not its $400 a gallon price tag — and held it a pinch away from his sanded white helmet and went to work with a surgeon’s precession. “It’s not the most exciting thing,” Drummond said, “but when it’s finished it gets exciting. You have to wait for it to all come together.” Drummond creates the kind of helmet art that had one collector paying $4,000 for a one-of-a-kind Winter Classicthemed piece. He has created masks for NHL goalies including Boston’s Tuukka Rask, Brian

Boucher and Montreal Canadiens prospect Mike Condon. Condon’s helmet has state troopers painted on one side in honour of his father and “Band of Brothers” on the other for his favourite TV show. Canadiens and Princeton logos are both on helmet, as well as Condon’s family crest. Drummond, a former goalie who still plays in adult hockey leagues, had his art displayed in the NHL equivalent of the Louvre when Boucher and Michael Leighton both wore his helmets in the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs. He has built a business by airbrushing just about any type of object, from a bus for a radio host to motorcycles, welders masks and walls. He worked for a time on the show “Extreme Makeover,” and recalled frantically putting the finishing touches on bedrooms while host Ty Pennington yelled “Move that bus!” as the show neared its finale. Drummond studied at Miami International University of Art & Design and custom painted in his PaintZoo shop for 18 years. He’s a Flyers fanatic, and became involved with the organization when he created artwork for a former Flyer for a charity event. He was introduced to Flyers equipment manager Derek Settlemyre and that led to his first helmet for Ray Emery in the 2010 Winter Classic. The mask was decorated as a tribute to former team goalies Ron Hextall, Bernie Parent and Pelle Lindbergh. Boucher liked what he saw and became his next client. Drummond’s work soon caught the attention of Bauer, one of the leading hockey equipment manufacturers. Drummond signed with Bauer and became a certified painter for the NHL helmet kings. The helmets range from $400 a mask for youth hockey players up to about $2,000 for the adult versions. Drummond is one of seven artists used by Bauer, most notably Swedish artist Dave Gunnarsson, who paints about 65 per cent of NHL helmets. “Whenever there’s a third party involved, we’ve learned the process gets ruined a little bit,” said Lee Britt, custom goalie manager at Bauer. “We’ve learned over time it’s best for the player and artist figure out what the design is going to be.

He worked for about 10 days on Ilya Bryzgalov’s helmet for the 2012 Winter Classic, only for the Flyers goalie to get benched for the big game. And he sent “Star Wars” nerds into a frenzy when he painted Yoda’s lightsaber Flyers orange instead of green. Drummond has been Mason’s personal artist for two years. “I’d put his work up against anyone else’s in the world,” Mason said. “I’ve seen a lot of goaltenders’ masks through the years, and seeing his up close and personal, the amount of detail he puts in there, it’s second to none.” Mason was razzed last sea-

He had asked for the new helmet to change his mojo after an 0-4-1 start to the season, and he also needed a darker cage because the brightness of the new state-of-the-art lighting system at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center has made it tougher to see the puck during a game.

NEW YORK — Toronto Maple Leafs forward Carter Ashton was suspended for 20 games without pay by the NHL on Thursday after failing a drug test. Ashton said in a statement released through the players’ union that he inadvertently ingested clenbuterol, a prohibited substance, through an inhaler during an asthma attack at practice in late August. He said he used another athlete’s inhaler twice and “incorrectly assumed that there were no problems” with the device. Ashton added he wasn’t seeking an “athletic advantage or to knowingly violate” the drug program. He said his team doctor has since diagnosed his exercise-induced asthma and he has been prescribed an inhaler. “As a professional hockey

player, I recognize that I am responsible for what I put into my body, and I will not appeal my suspension,” Ashton said in the statement. “While I am extremely disappointed that I have let my teammates, our fans and the Maple Leafs organization down, I will work very hard during my suspension to stay in game shape so that I can help out the team when I am able to return.” The suspension will cost Ashton $169,185. He failed to record a point in three games with the Maple Leafs this season. Maple Leafs President Brendan Shanahan said in a statement that the organization supports the drug program and the decision to suspend Ashton. Ashton is the third player suspended under the NHL/ NHLPA policy, following Sean Hill in 2007 and Zenon Konopka in May.

McDowell holds early lead at HSBC Champions BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cappelen shoots 65 in first PGA Tour round for lead in Sanderson Farms BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSON, Miss. — Sebastian Cappelen narrowly missed earning his PGA Tour card last season and needed a sponsor exemption to make the field in the Sanderson Farms Championship. The 24-year-old from Denmark is making the most of his opportunity. Cappelen shot a 7-under 65 on Thursday in his first PGA Tour round to take the lead at the Country Club of Jackson. He opened with a bogey before making eight birdies to take a two-shot lead over Robert Streb, Scott Pinckney and Canada’s Nick Taylor. “I couldn’t be happier, to be honest,” Cappelen said. “Obviously, I came here just trying to get a new experience and get a feel of how it feels like to play on the real tour, and I had a great time out there today. Hit a lot of good shots.” Cappelen was an All-American in college at Arkansas. He won the Air Capital Classic in June on the Web. com Tour. He was in good position to earn his PGA Tour card, but a poor performance in the final regular-season Web. com Tour event dropped him to 26th place on the money list — one spot shy of the top 25 finish needed to make the PGA Tour. “I mean, obviously, it’s a heartbreaker being so close and then not getting it,” Cappelen said. “So getting a chance here where I felt like I

should been, it’s everything. I couldn’t thank the sponsors here more for what they’ve done.” Cappelen said he had some nerves before the round, but the early bogey was a sobering moment. “That’s usually how it is for me when I have a good round,” Cappelen said. “I usually start with a bogey on the first hole, and then just kind of like, ’OK, I’ve got to get going.”’ Play was suspended because of darkness with 15 players unable to finish. The tournament is being played at the 7,354-yard Country Club of Jackson, a course about 10 miles south of Annandale Country Club, where the tournament was held for 19 years. Overnight rain made for a soft course early, but players said it firmed up as the day progressed. Streb is back in contention two weeks after winning the McGladrey Classic in a playoff for his first PGA Tour title. After taking a week off to relax at home and watch his hometown Kansas City Royals in the World Series, Streb made six birdies and just one bogey Thursday. “I didn’t play a whole lot of golf last week,” Streb said. “But a little bit of work on the range, and it didn’t take too long to find it, so it was pretty exciting.” Defending champion Woody Austin had a 70. There were 13 players within three shots of the lead.

Adam Scott in the market for a new caddie BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SHANGHAI, China — As far as caddies are concerned, this might as well be the Adam Scott sweepstakes. Scott is in the market for a new caddie after Steve Williams headed off into semi-retirement. There figured to be a long line of candidates to work for the former Masters champion, who is No. 2 in the world and regarded as one of the most congenial players in golf. He just never expected so many — and from so many walks of life. “There were some shockers, like random ones — some guy in Florida who lives at home and looks after his mom,” Scott said Tuesday in downtown Shanghai after taking part in a promotion to celebrate the 10th edition of the HSBC Champions. “I guess he figured it would be a good job.” For a caddie, there are not many better jobs in golf. Scott has earned about $18 million in PGA Tour earnings alone over the last five years, and he has become a regular contender in the majors. He had Tony Navarro, who previously

worked for Greg Norman, and then picked up Williams after his split with Tiger Woods. “The way I see it, you cannot replace a Steve Williams,” Scott said. “I cannot go out and look for the next Steve Williams. I don’t think that’s possible. I need to go out and find what is going to work for me at this stage in my career, to complement all the things I am doing now, just like I did when I hired Steve.” Scott has time to decide. He has two events in Australia after the HSBC Champions, and he doesn’t plan to start his 2015 season until the Honda Classic. He used Swiss neighbour Eddie Gardino in Japan; Gardino caddied for Angel Cabrera in his 2007 U.S. Open win at Oakmont. Scott is using David Clark, who currently works for Cameron Tringale, at the HSBC Champions. “I need to see a few personalities, see what fits best with me,” Scott said. As for other possibilities? Scott said he has received more than 100 inquiries, and that he has responded to most of them — except for the guy in Florida.

O’Grady to step down as head of European Tour BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SHANGHAI, China — European Tour chief executive George O’Grady is stepping down after 10 years, saying it was a good time to leave after another overwhelming Ryder Cup success and enough “green shoots of recovery” across the tour. O’Grady asked the board to start looking for a successor, the tour said Wednesday in a statement. It was not clear when he would officially step down. O’Grady has agreed to stay on until the European Tour board finds a replacement, and then sufficient time for his successor to make a smooth transition. O’Grady, who has been with the tour in some capacity for more than 40 years, will become president of international relations, in which he will represent the European Tour when golf returns to the Olympics in 2016. “The European Tour and its players

are admired throughout the world of golf, and George has played a key part in building global relationships and developing the tour,” said David Williams, chairman of the tour. O’Grady became only the third chief executive of the tour in January 2005, following 30 years of Ken Schofield and John Jacobs, who oversaw the tour’s formative years from 1971-74. “In the aftermath of what I believe to have been the best presented Ryder Cup since my first involvement in the contest at Royal Lytham in 1977, I felt this was the right time to ask the board to begin the search for my successor,” O’Grady said. “It is my firm belief that, coming toward the end of what has been another incredibly successful season, we are now seeing the green shoots of recovery across Europe, and I am pleased that this coincides with all our building blocks, in terms of key television and sponsorship contracts, being in place.”

Graeme Mcdowell of Northern Ireland hits a shot on the 9th hole during the first round of the HSBC Champions golf tournament at the Sheshan International Golf Club in Shanghai, China, Thursday.

SHANGHAI, China — Graeme McDowell typically looks at the leaderboard more often at the start of a tournament. It gives him a sense of how the course is playing and what score he might need to contend at the finish. There was no need to look Thursday in the HSBC Champions. McDowell noticed ankle-deep rough at Sheshan International and fairways not as wide as usual. He felt firm greens and saw trees jostling in stiff wind. More than anything, he kept looking at all the birdies that filled his scorecard. McDowell already had seven birdies when he finished his 12th hole, and a couple of loose mistakes at the end of the opening round didn’t diminish his satisfaction. He opened with a 5-under 67 on a tough day in Shanghai to build a two-shot lead. “No, I didn’t need a leaderboard to let me know that 7 under through 12 is fairly strong,” McDowell said. “Gauging what’s a good score can be a good thing maybe when you’re not going well. But it might not be a great thing if you’re taking it deep and the rest of them are 3-under par and you’re thinking, ’Whoa, this is a very good score.”’ That’s not what slowed him. Trouble was lurking everywhere, and not even McDowell was immune. Rickie Fowler also started quickly with three birdies in his opening five holes, only to spend the rest of the round trading birdies with bogeys. He wound up with a 69, along with U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer, Brandt Snedeker, Chris Kirk, Tim Clark and Tommy Fleetwood. Strong wind added to the demanding conditions. Jordan Spieth began his new PGA Tour season with two straight bogeys and had to save par with a long bunker shot on his third hole. He scratched his way back and wound up in a large group at 70 that featured Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Adam Scott and Henrik Stenson, who made bogey from the bunker on his final hole. It didn’t take much for players to stumble. FedEx Cup champion Billy Horschel made two double bogeys, only one birdie and shot an 80. “This is a top event — some of the best players in the world, probably the best field you’re going to get in Asia, and you don’t want it to be a push-

over,” Fowler said. “You want a good, solid test. And it’s showing that.” Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask. had to withdraw after shooting 45 through his first nine holes because of a neck injury. It’s his third withdrawl in the last four months. He also withdrew from Malaysia last week with a sore neck. Only 27 players in the 78-man field broke par, compared with 37 players under par on the first day last year when the winning score was 24-under 264. McDowell said he wouldn’t be surprised to see something around 10 or 12 under win, even if the wind lets up. McDowell is the only player this year to finish in the top 10 at all the World Golf Championships, and while he hasn’t captured a WGC title, Sheshan International would seem to favour him more than the others. Thursday was his 10th consecutive round in the 60s on this course. “A big key to this golf course is driving the ball well. I drove it very well today,” McDowell said. The exception was on the 603-yard eighth hole, playing with the wind. McDowell hit a 3-wood to avoid the bunker on the right side of the fairway, and he put it in the deep grass for the first time all day. He could only manage an 8-iron out of the rough and still had 215 yards over the creek fronting the green. McDowell pulled that left of the green and failed to get up and down. No complaints. He did not forget the 20-foot birdie putt he made on No. 14, or the 45-foot putt he holed across the green at the 17th, or the 25-foot birdie on No. 3. And then there was his drive on the 288-yard 16th, a perfect yardage to go with a perfect swing that gave him a two-putt from 15 feet for birdie. “There were some tricky holes on the front nine,” McDowell said. “I made a couple of putts I should have in the first 12 holes, and then I made a couple of bogeys that I shouldn’t have coming in. All in all, I think 5 under was a fair representation of my round.” DIVOTS: Kevin Stadler withdrew after two holes with a wrist injury. ... Jason Dufner had one moment when his body was in China and his head was still in Malaysia. Players were allowed to lift, clean and place their balls last week in soggy Malaysia. Dufner instinctively picked up his ball in the 18th fairway, a one-shot penalty. He had a 72. “Just one of those things,” Dufner said with a shrug.

McRorie makes mark with Canadian rugby team BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Gordon McRorie was in the midst of a Canadian team media training session in Wales when he was pulled out and handed a phone to speak to a reporter. The sudden graduation somehow seemed fitting. The Scottish-born scrum half has wasted little time making his mark in a Canadian jersey. Despite not qualifying to play for Canada until May this year via residency, the 26-year-old is in a battle with Phil Mack for the starting No. 9 shirt. And with Mack currently injured, McRorie is making the most of Canada’s November tour. “I’ve loved every minute of it,” McRorie, who has no family ties to Canada, said of his brief time with the national team. “This is what I wanted to do for a long time — play international rugby. It’s been a dream come true.” He scored two tries last Saturday in a 28-23 loss to an RFU Championship XV side in Worcester, England, and will start again Friday when Canada, ranked 17th in the world, takes on No. 22 Namibia in Colwyn Bay, Wales. Both teams are headed to the World Cup next year, albeit in different pools. Namibia is the only one of the 20 teams at the 2015 tournament that has yet to

win a game at the rugby showcase. Canada is in sore need of a win itself, after four straight losses this year. Its last victory was a 52-8 decision over Portugal in Lisbon last November. McRorie first came to Canada in 2010 when he visited a friend from university in Edmonton for two weeks. He liked what he saw and moved to Canada in May 2011. He had finished at Sterling University in Scotland and wanted to try something new. He eventually settled in Calgary where then-Hornets coach Graeme Moffat made him welcome at his club. McRorie, who also plays for the Prairie Wolf Pack, had no thought that the move might lead to playing for Canada. But Moffat suggested a year later that perhaps he should stick around and see what happens. He soon drew the attention of national team coaches and was available for selection in late May this year after qualifying through three years of Canadian residency. “I’m pretty chuffed that I came here,” he said. He made his Canada debut on June 7 against Japan, at Swangard Stadium, in Burnaby. And a week later he came on late against his native Scotland. He had a bit of a rocky start, giving up a penalty on a flubbed box kick against the Scots. But he has acquitted

himself well since, winning selection to Canada’s Americas Rugby Championship team prior to going on tour. Coach Kieran Crowley has made five changes to the side that lost to the RFU Championship XV in Worcester, England, on Saturday. That game was not considered a test match with Canada missing some of its pros because the game fell outside the IRB November test window. Prop Jason Marshall, fresh from his appearance with the Barbarians, comes into the pack along with London Irish lock Jebb Sinclair. Connor Braid, Jeff Hassler and DTH van der Merwe enter the backline at fly half, wing and fullback, respectively. Jordan Wilson-Ross starts on the bench and could win his first cap. Canada lost to Samoa and beat Russia two years ago at Parc Eirias, site of Friday’s game. Sinclair, Buydens, Doug Wooldridge and Sean White were some of the Canadians involved in the RGC 1404 team that played at Welsh facility a few seasons ago. The Canadians head to France after Friday’s match to take on No. 9 Samoa in Vannes on Nov. 14 before wrapping up the tour Nov. 22 in Bucharest against No. 16 Romania. Canada and Romania are both in Pool D at the World Cup, along with No. 5 Ireland, No. 7 France and No. 14

England facing tough odds in match against All Blacks BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — It’s been two years since England turned into a potent contender for Rugby World Cup glory, when New Zealand was ripped apart at Twickenham and disbelieving home fans were fired up on a near-freezing afternoon. But the glow of that day has dimmed considerably by England’s failure to deliver more notable results and silverware. England has fallen short in two Six Nations, and tasted only one more win over a side ranked higher than itself, Australia, a year ago on home turf. England has lost four straight to the All Blacks, the series seemingly fallen into the old routine of England wins coming once a decade. That puts the English under the most pressure going into the test with New Zealand on Saturday at Twickenham, where England has a last chance before the World Cup next September to replace a two-year-old win that continues to be grasped at to buy some belief. The odds, as usual, are against England. Injuries don’t help, with nine firstchoice players sidelined. And it remains to be seen whether England absorbed the lessons of the 3-0 series loss in New Zealand in June. After an error-plagued All Blacks side almost lost the first test to a weakened England side, they coasted to victory in the next two, exposing England’s lack of playmakers and invention, inability to play at sustained speed, and mental errors under attack. An England player was sin-binned in each test, and the All Blacks cashed in ruthlessly. England captain Chris Robshaw said they can’t afford to relax for a second on Saturday. “There’s no hiding place. We’re not going into this game to come out second best,” Robshaw said. “You can’t stand off these guys for a second. It’s about us putting our game out there. “You have to defend extremely well and take your chances - there is no magic formula to beating them. In the pressure of the situation it’s about who is able to do that, and keep their composure. It’s about being clinical. “That’s the next step we need to take if we really want to push ourselves up there.” New Zealand surprised by giving

England plays New Zealand on Saturday and is hoping to break a four-game losing against the All Blacks. inside centre Sonny Bill Williams a second straight start, after two years back in rugby league, ahead of Malakai Fekitoa, who starred in the Rugby Championship. But coach Steve Hansen said it was time to test Williams after he bagged two tries in an hour against the United States last week. “Sonny Bill is massively better this time around,” Hansen said. “We saw what he was like against a tier-two nation, now we want to see what he’s like against a tier-one nation. We haven’t got a lot of test matches between now and the World Cup starting so we need to get some answers.” He’ll be marking Kyle Eastmond, who was substituted at halftime in the third test in Hamilton after he was badly exposed. But Eastmond has rebounded to be the Premiership’s form player, and will form an untried mid-

field with the defensively strong Brad Barritt. Outside them will be Semesa Rokoduguni, the Fijian-born British soldier making his debut. Rokoduguni has graduated from the Saxons and Barbarians, and impressed for his Bath club. He served in Afghanistan in 2011, and said his experience there has helped him prepare for international rugby. “It is similar to the pressure I felt out there in Afghanistan, especially in the field,” he said. “You had to be spot on with your drills, be punctual, dress correctly, and be disciplined. You had to be alert every single moment. That sort of mentality fits in well on the rugby pitch. You need all those key points out there on the field.” Lineups:

England: Mike Brown, Semesa Rokoduguni, Brad Barritt, Kyle Eastmond, Jonny May, Owen Farrell, Danny Care; Billy Vunipola, Chris Robshaw (captain), Tom Wood, Courtney Lawes, Dave Attwood, David Wilson, Dylan Hartley, Joe Marler. Reserves: Rob Webber, Matt Mullan, Kieran Brookes, George Kruis, Ben Morgan, Ben Youngs, George Ford, Anthony Watson. New Zealand: Israel Dagg, Ben Smith, Conrad Smith, Sonny Bill Williams, Julian Savea, Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith; Keiran Read, Richie McCaw (captain), Jerome Kaino, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Wyatt Crockett.

Wales looks to end nine-match losing run against Australia CARDIFF — Scarred by 20 straight defeats to the southern hemisphere giants, Wales’ inferiority complex toward New Zealand, South Africa and Australia is growing dangerously large heading toward the 2015 World Cup. The Welsh have three more goes at stopping the rot before next year’s showpiece — and their best chance comes on Saturday against Australia. New Zealand and South Africa have been in a different class to Wales during that dismal six-year losing run, but the Wallabies have regularly been there for the taking — only for Warren Gatland’s side to come up short each time. And it’s been painful to watch at times, with the last eight of Wales’ nine consecutive losses to Australia coming at an average margin of 4.4 points. “You are not unlucky nine times in a row,” said Wales captain Sam Warburton, suggesting there was some sort of mental barrier plaguing his team against the SANZAR nations. “It is coming to the time, which we have said year after year, with the World Cup on the horizon and the senior players in the group, that we really do have to get a win over one of these teams if we are to be considered one of the best in the world.” Australia could be vulnerable at Millennium Stadium on Saturday, with Michael Cheika having just taken over as coach following the resignation of Ewen McKenzie in the wake of the Kurtley Beale text-message scandal. The tour of Europe is as much about

regaining respect as winning rugby matches — and Cheika has made a successful start to the latter. His first game in charge was a 40-36 win over the Barbarians last weekend. That was a bit of fun. Now for the serious stuff, with further games ahead against France, Ireland and England. “I’ve been really pleased with the attitude and commitment of the team,” Cheika said, “and by how they have embraced a new environment and way of doing things.” Wales coach Warren Gatland said the recent off-field incidents surrounding the Australia team will galvanize the tourists. “A lot of people have been talking about what’s happened with Kurtley Beale and those sort of things, and does that make them more vulnerable,” Gatland said. “With Australians, it makes them stronger. They thrive on any adversity and any criticism.” Wales has prepared for the November tests with a punishing training schedule followed by regular visits to the cryotherapy chamber — a favoured ploy of Gatland. The accent has been on making sure the team hits the ground running and can match the intensity of the southern hemisphere powers straight away. “We knew we had to change something going in to play these sides after (previously) going into the first game a bit undercooked when it comes to the intensity of the match and the speed of running,” Warburton said. “We know that the first 20 to 40-minute period in games, where historically we have been a little bit off the pace,

we have covered those yards.” George North will start in midfield instead of on the left wing after injuries to centres Jonathan Davies and

Scott Williams. Liam Williams, usually a fullback, takes North’s place on the wing with Leigh Halfpenny retained despite limited game time at Toulon.

A comparative giant MOST ANCIENT MAMMALS WERE PUNY, BUT VINTANA SERTICHI SEEMS TO BREAK THE TREND MADAGASCAR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — During the dinosaur age most mammals were puny, generally weighing less than a pound. Now a bizarre fossil skull from Madagascar has revealed a comparative giant, one that clocked in at maybe 20 pounds (9 kg). “It was a monster,” said David Krause of Stony Brook University in New York, who led the discovery team. “It looks like a big groundhog.” It’s the second heaviest mammal known from the dinosaur era, which ran roughly from 250 million years ago to 65 million years ago, and the most massive of that time from Southern Hemisphere. Krause said his best guess is that the creature might have measured 20 inches (51 cm) to 24 inches (61 cm) from nose to rump. It lived sometime between 66 million and 72 million years ago. In a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature, Krause and colleagues named the creature Vintana sertichi. The first name, which means “luck” in the Malagasy language of Madagascar, was chosen because the skull appeared unexpectedly. When scientists did a CT scan of a large sandstone block to look for fish fossils, “we saw this thing staring back at us,” Krause said. “We were just amazed.” The second name honours Joseph Sertich, now a curator at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, who collected the sandstone block in 2010. The five-inch-long skull gives scientists their first good window into a poorly understood group of ancient Southern Hemisphere mammals that had been known only from isolated teeth and bits of jaw. They went extinct long ago, without leaving any descendants today. Now researchers can see a face, and it is bizarre, Krause said. The skull is very tall in comparison to its length. The eye sockets are huge. Weird flanges by the bottom jaw once anchored chewing muscles. The skull also revealed that the brain was tilted at a strange angle not seen in other animals. And it displayed an odd mix of primitive characteristics with more advanced ones. Analysis suggests Vintana was an agile plant-eater with good eyesight in low light and a good sense of smell. Such abilities probably came in handy to avoid the predatory dinosaurs and other beasts that shared its environment, Krause said. “It would have been a very fine hors d’oeuvre” for a dinosaur. John Flynn, an expert in fossil mammals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, who didn’t participate in the discovery, called the find “fantastic” because of its good preservation and relative completeness, compared to other fossils.

With a full moon rising, Red Deer College cross-country team runners Laura Friesen, Autumn Jackson and Anna Duda run together during a training session at the College this week. A team from the school will be travelling to the national championships in Calgary on Saturday to compete against the best college runners in the country.

Treacherous road to success JAMIE DAVIS USES HIS HIGHWAY THRU HELL TV EXPERIENCE TO BUILD HIS BUSINESS BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Alberta’s notorious Hwy 63 delivered plenty of hair-raising reality for Jamie Davis’s heavy rescue towing crews. Davis, 49, and his company, Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue, have worked B.C.’s Coquihalla Highway, with its often unpredictable winter conditions, for a decade. The Hope, B.C.-based company branched out to Alberta last winter, with trucks working Hwy 63 to Fort McMurray and Hwy 881, which runs north from Lac La Biche to Anzac, just south of Fort McMurray. Their rescue efforts were captured in Season 3 of the popular Discovery channel show Highway Thru Hell, which is shown on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. “It was a lot different working out here actually,” said Brandon Kodallas, Davis’s 19-year-old stepson. “The conditions were a lot different. “The snow is drier out here. The ice on the roads is insane.” Kodallas said the conditions trans-

lated into a lot more wrecks than crews were used to in B.C. “Here, it’s non-stop, go, go.” Eight out of 10 of the company’s calls are now in Alberta and they have opened an Edmonton office, said Davis. “We’ve grown from five guys and say 10 trucks to 35 people and 35 trucks. Alberta has been a great move for us.” On Thursday, Kodallas and Davis were in Red Deer for Agri-Trade Equipment Expo, where they were appearing on behalf of one of the show’s sponsors, Toyota, and its Tundra pickup. The hit program — the 2012 season premiere still ranks as the highest-rated series season premier on Discovery — attracted a lot of attention. Other tow companies were watching and there are now six companies working the Coquihalla, compared with two several years ago. “There wasn’t enough work there to pay the bills when you had two guys there; never mind six,” said Davis.

Maskwacis inclusion examined by school board BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF The Wolf Creek Public Schools will investigate the implications and impact on students before considering adding an appointed trustee from Maskwacis to its board. While Trudy Bratland, board chairperson, said the request to Alberta Education from five Maskwacis Cree chiefs took the board by surprise, they are open to discussing the matter. In late September, Samson Cree Nation’s Chief Kurt Buffalo, Chief Randy Ermineskin from Ermineskin Cree Nation, Louis Bull Tribe’s Chief Russell Threefingers and Chief Bradley Rabbit/Darrell Strongman of Montana

First Nation wrote Alberta Education asking that someone from Maskwacis be appointed to the school board to represent their students. None of the chiefs were available to speak on Thursday but in the letter they ask for an appointed trustee to represent the estimated 150 students. Bratland said the board has not had any communication with the chiefs but they will reach out to them in the coming weeks. She pointed out that the letter was addressed to Alberta Education and the board was only given a copy. Ultimately, it is up to school boards to determine who sits on its board. Wolf Creek has six trustees representing an estimated 7,200 students in the 33 schools in the rural school

division north of Red Deer. The majority of its First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) students attend one of the three schools in Ponoka. They make up an estimated 20 to 25 per cent of the students in Ponoka. At Wednesday’s board meeting, trustees talked initially about the letter and directed administration to explore the rationale behind the letter and investigate possibilities. Bratland said they would not rule out the possibility of an appointed member but they must first investigate the issue thoroughly. Earlier this year, the school division hired Shelagh Hagemann, its first FNMI student success co-ordinator, to provide targeted support for the FNMI students, primarily in the three Ponoka schools.

Hagemann also runs a wisdom and guidance committee, consisting of First Nations members, parents and others. They meet to discuss issues and ways to better serve the students. In 2010, the chiefs made a similar request to the Wetaskiwin Regional Public Schools board and ultimately Shauna Bruno was added to the board. Bratland said they likely speak to Bruno and the Wetaskiwin board about the experience and impact on the students. “We have talked to Wetaskiwin,” said Bratland. “It’s going very well for them. We just have to have a very thorough discussion about the roles and responsibilities for an appointed person as opposed to a person who was elected.” crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Algae warning lifted at lakes

Stolen vehicle hits shed

Algae concerns have abated for several lakes in the Central Zone, according to Alberta Health Services. Recent weather has cooled water temperatures in lakes to such an extent that blue-green algae is no longer a concern, including in the waters of five Central Zone bodies of water that had been placed under blue-green algae advisories. Effective immediately, Alberta Health Services has lifted the bluegreen algae advisories for: ● Pine Lake ● Pigeon Lake ● Battle Lake ● Wizard Lake ● Coal Lake

Lacombe police are looking for the driver a stolen vehicle that crashed into a storage shed in a mobile home park in the city. Early Thursday morning, police found a vehicle in the Parkland Acres area that had run off the road and collided with a storage shed, causing extensive damage to the shed and house at the location. The vehicle involved also sustained extensive damage. However, the vehicle was found unoccupied. The driver fled the scene before police arrived. Further investigation indicated the vehicle had been reported stolen in the Stettler area. Police have not identified the person responsible and are asking anyone with any information regarding the incident to contact the Lacombe Police Service at 403-782-3279 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Funspiel raises ALS funds

Chinook Edge School Division is eyeing a spot in Gasoline Alley to house its outreach school. Red Deer Career High was previously housed on 5511 50th Ave in Red Deer. It moved to a temporary location at Penhold Crossing Secondary School this year. School division superintendent Kurt Sacher said they hope to have a permanent location for the 150 students on average who take courses online or in classroom settings by next fall. “It’s been very successful but Penhold is growing,” said Sacher. “We are going to need those spaces and a career high is best suited isolated or on its own (away from a traditional “Working with the same people, you can act the way you would always.

The school moved as part of the plan to close River Glen School in Red Deer. The school is technically like most of the outreach programs in the province but the division calls its school “career high.” It serves the needs of adult students who are missing credits, students who need individualized learning and those who are not successful in traditional school settings. Chinook’s Edge operates career high schools in Sylvan Lake, Innisfail, Olds and Didsbury.

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), more commonly called Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a rapid degenerative diseases which is always fatal. It attacks the nerves that send messages to the brain. The result is a gradual loss of muscle control, mobility and motor skills. Someone with ALS is immobilized, with loss of speech and eventually the inability to swallow and breathe. There are about 3,000 Canadians with ALS. There is no known cure.

in the City of Lacombe, this year about two-thirds are pickup trucks, leading police to issue an advisory to all vehicle owners to protect their property. In a press release this week, the Lacombe Police Service said pickup trucks have been stolen at a high rate so far this year, with the Ford F-series trucks being the most common target. Police would like to remind residents to take precautions when leaving their vehicles unattended. People are asked to lock their vehicles and if possible, store them in a locked garage or compound. Unlocked vehicles also present an easy opportunity for thieves to steal valuables from inside the vehicle. Police encourage people to take the time to ensure all valuables have been removed and the doors have been locked. Anyone with information on any of these thefts should call Lacombe Police Service at 403-782-3279 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Young people will benefit from $100,000 to enhance facilities at a Nordegg area camp. Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Red Deer and District will use the money to upgrade facilities at Camp Alexo. The money came from the Alberta government through its Community Facility Enhancement Program. Camp Alexo is 70 km west of Rocky Mountain House. The mandate of the camp is to provide an opportunity for every child to experience a summer camp or adventure-based life skills regardless of financial barriers. The camp, which marked its 30th anniversary this year, is in the process of a master development plan. John Johnston, fund development manager for Big Brothers and Big Sisters, said the plan seeks to address facility and resource needs over the next two years. Some of the projects include two new cabins, two activity shelters, lodge expansion, new washhouse facility, outdoor sports court, out-trip building, caretaker residence, and eco hut cabin renovation for outdoor education programs and activities. Smaller projects are also planned to enhance Camp Alexo. The government money, combined with community investment in time and money, will provide for improvements to keep the camp accessible to children and youth in the future. Earlier this year, dozens of volunteers travelled to the camp to help rebuild and upgrade facilities at Camp Alexo. Red Deer South MLA Cal Dallas is slated to present a cheque to the Youth and Volunteer Centre in Red Deer this afternoon.

1 supermodel, 1000 poses COCO ROCHA OFFERS STUDY OF POSE IN NEW BOOK BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO â€” Coco Rocha has graced the covers of countless fashion magazines and walked the runway for leading designers, but the Canadian supermodel dubbed â€œThe Queen of Poseâ€? faced a fresh test for her latest turn in front of the cameras. The Toronto-born, Richmond, B.C.raised Rocha teamed up with photographer Steven Sebring for the new book Study of Pose (Harper Design). In his introduction, Sebring wrote that his original concept was to capture 1,000 different expressive positions of one person, seeking to document â€œthe fluid, ever-changing beauty of the ever-flexible human form.â€? The hefty tome features black-andwhite images of Rocha clad in a leotard and tights, contorting her lithe frame in 1,000 unique poses. Pictures of the homegrown beauty were captured by Sebring in his experimental 360-degree â€œRig,â€? which Rocha described as a darkened, domelike room with 100 cameras. The photos were shot two years ago over the span of three days, with only Sebring and Rochaâ€™s husband, James Conran, present. As the woman who has been a muse to designers like French fashion legend Jean Paul Gaultier â€” who wrote the bookâ€™s foreword â€” Rocha admitted during the shooting of Study of Pose she needed a little inspiration herself at times to fan the creative flames. â€œYou try to kick out as many poses as you can. But then it gets to the point where youâ€™re like: â€™I donâ€™t know if I have anything else,â€?â€™ Rocha said in a recent phone interview from New York. â€œThatâ€™s when I would have Steven and James... call out these inspirations or people in history. So if it was art history to film noir to film to pop culture, there would be sort of references, and I would kind of go on a riff on them. So: â€™What is Michael Jackson to me? What is Grace Kelly?â€™ â€œDefinitely, I did hit some road blocks. But whatâ€™s interesting is that people looking at this can probably see those moments where youâ€™re like: â€™Oh, I think this is a little Marilyn Monroeâ€™ or: â€™Yeah, I can see some Grace Jones in that.â€?â€™ Rather than tagging each photo with a specific headline or name, Rocha said they opted instead to attach numbers to each image in hopes of having readers identify whom she was trying to pay homage to or to channel in her poses. Prior to her fashionable rise to fame, Rocha had devoted much of her life to dance. In the bookâ€™s introduction, Rocha describes herself as a â€œpale, skinny girlâ€? who was just 14 when she was scouted at an Irish dance competition in Vancouver. Rocha credits her dance training in helping her modelling career, both in quelling her nerves and in approaching the catwalk and cameras by thinking of playing a character or being onstage. In the foreword of Study of Pose,

Gaultier recalled Rocha â€œeffortlessly leaping through the air, moving my clothes in a way that brought them to lifeâ€? during the presentation of his Celtic-themed ready-to-wear line in 2007. â€œI definitely think dance helped in the sense that I donâ€™t overthink it, I donâ€™t get too frustrated with what Iâ€™m doing. Just have fun with it, enjoy it,â€? said the 26-year-old. â€œWeâ€™re muses. Weâ€™re supposed to inspire people. So the book also is to inspire what the body can do. If you really look through all of those photos, you can start to notice the body can do a lot of things.â€? Rocha recently returned to â€œThe Rigâ€? to film the announcement that she and Conran are expecting their first child next spring. But even with her wealth of modelling experience, Rocha said she came away from the extended shoot for the book enriched with a fresh perspective on posing. â€œYou look at photos of models in stores and you go: â€™I believe that sheâ€™s playing that character. I get that story.â€™ And itâ€™s from her facial expressions to how her body is moving â€” all of it so important,â€? she said. â€œAfter the book, I was definitely (thinking): â€™Wow, thereâ€™s a lot of things I didnâ€™t know I could do, and a lot of things I can still bring to the table.â€™ And it was a fascinating experience.â€?

Livestock prices to stay high: economist CROP RETURNS FORECASTED TO BE IN CHECK THE CANADIAN PRESS

TD ECONOMICS REPORT

EDMONTON — Canadian livestock producers will continue to see strong prices in 2015, but remaining supplies from global bumper harvests will keep crop returns in check, says a report by TD Economics. The forecast for the agriculture sector notes that farmers are coming off a year in which prices for most major crops hit four-year lows, while tight supplies drove cattle and hog prices to record levels. Economist Dina Ignjatovic said the tale of two contrasting markets is to continue. “Livestock prices are going to remain quite elevated for some time still and the opposite is happening in the crop markets,” she said Thursday from Toronto. “We don’t expect to see huge declines going forward — maybe a little bit further weakness throughout the end of this year and early next year — but we do expect prices to bottom, and then there will be a little upside.” The report notes that cattle prices are more than double the 10-year average before the recession hit, due in part to U.S. producers reducing their herds during a drought in 2011-2012.

Cattle exports to the United States outbreak became a problem. were up 12 per cent this year following While hog inventories have not fulan increase of nearly 30 per cent the ly recovered in the U.S., the size of year before. the Canadian Ignjatovic ‘LIVESTOCK PRICES ARE GOING herd is up by said Canadian one per cent.

federal government took this year to sort out a railway grain transportation backlog helped increase grain shipments, but also led to a big increase in exports to the U.S. The amount of Canadian wheat sent south was up by about 40 per cent, while canola exports shot up by 128 per cent. Ignjatovic said the federal government has not given any indication that it will extend rules that require the two big railways to each ship a minimum of 500,000 tonnes of grain a week when the legislation expires at the end of the month. So what do all of these factors mean to the bottom line of Canadian farmers? Livestock producers are expected to continue riding high, but other farmers, not so much. Despite the slide in crop prices this year, the quantity of crops sold will probably be higher. That, coupled with a weaker loonie, could mean that farm net incomes may come in close to last year’s levels, Ignjatovic suggested. Next year could be a different story. “In 2015, however, lower average prices nearly across the board, along with less output — some of which is lower quality — are likely to put a dent in farm cash receipts.”

The Noodlebox has opened the doors to its Red Deer location. Located where at the former Petro Canada gas station stood at the Village Mall, the Noodlebox offers curries, soups, salads, wraps and stirfry.

Value of building permits up in October BY ADVOCATE STAFF October’s building permits in Red Deer increased more than 33 per cent in value compared to the same period last year. This is due largely to a commercial permit issued to Premier Building Solutions Ltd., valued at $20 million, for an assisted living facility at 6950 Taylor Dr.

A permit for a new Tim Hortons, located at 108 2325 50th Ave., issued to Dawson Wallace Construction, also contributed to commercial permit values. Residential construction continued to grow with permit values increasing three per cent over this time last year. The 174 residential permits were valued at $11,998,608, compared to the 126 valued at $11,091,398 in 2013. Overall last month, the city issued

195 permits to the tune of $37,224,165, compared to the 146 permits valued at $27,867,498 in October 2013. To date, the city has issued 1,398 permits valued at $167,572,845 with two months left of the year. In 2013, the city issued 1,334 permits valued at $212,921,064. Monthly permit statistics are posted on the city’s website at www.reddeer. ca/inspections.

Subdivision approval for Travelaire site extended BY ADVOCATE STAFF

Red Deer’s municipal planning commission has extended its subdivision approval for the former Travelaire Canada site at 6712 and 6714 Golden West Ave. A plan of subdivision for the 10.68-acre parcel north of 67th Street, creating three commercial lots, was approved conditionally in November 2011. That approval has since been extended twice. The commission was told on Wednesday that there are still items to

finalize in a development agreement and development permit for the property. It voted to extend the subdivision approval until Nov. 30, 2015. Canadian Urban Ltd. bought the property from RV manufacturer Travelaire’s parent company Glendale International Corp. in 2007. The property was leased back to Travelaire until it ceased operations after Glendale filed for bankruptcy in January 2010. Canadian Urban had planned to develop eight commercial buildings on

the site, but in July of this year sold the land to Albari Holdings Ltd. and 1835901 Alberta Ltd. An official with Crown corporation Alberta Investment Management Corp.

The S&P/TSX composite index was up 15.12 points at 14,563.38. The Canadian dollar declined 0.28 a cent to 87.52 cents US as the head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, said the bank is preparing the groundwork for further stimulus measures “if needed” for the struggling European economy. His comments triggered a drop in the euro and a strengthening of the U.S. dollar which, in turn, weakened oil prices. “There’s no question about it, that as soon as you saw the U.S. dollar start moving, you saw the euro plunge, you saw crude oil knocked down,” said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets. He also noted that the rising currency could spell trouble for U.S. stocks as well. “If the U.S. dollar keeps going up, it’s problematic for earnings because overseas earnings come back at a lower rate — it’s harder for them to export and the stock market has completely ignored that.” Still, positive data on jobless insurance claims a day before the release of the U.S. October jobs report kept New York indexes positive as the Dow Jones industrials gained 69.94 points to 17,554.47, the S&P 500 index added 7.64 points to 2,031.21 and the Nasdaq rose 17.75 points to 4,638.47. Most of the buoyancy on the TSX came from the beaten up gold sector, which was up about 4.5 per cent even as December gold fell $3.10 to US$1,142.60 an ounce. The TSX has had a volatile week as energy stocks were rocked by a move by Saudi Arabia to cut prices for its U.S. customers. The cut and a stronger U.S. dollar dropped crude prices to three-year lows.

Still, the energy sector closed in positive territory, up almost one per cent, although still down 10 per cent in the past month. The sector was helped along by a strong report from Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX:CNQ). Its shares gained $1.48 to C$39.74 as the energy company posted quarterly net income of $1.039 billion or 94 cents per share, compared with $1.168 billion, or $1.07 per share, a year ago. Cash flow was also down, at $2.44 billion from $2.45 billion a year ago. Base metals fell 1.8 per cent while December copper was up one cent to US$3.02 a pound following two days of declines. The financials group was down 0.45 per cent even as Sun Life Financial Inc. (TSX: SLF) said net operating income from continuing operations, which adjusts for certain factors, was $467 million or 76 cents per share, two cents ahead of estimates but its shares gave back 89 cents to $39.64. The telecom sector was also a drag, down 1.45 per cent while Telus Corp. (TSX:T) reported that quarterly adjusted net income increased to $387 million or 64 cents per share, while revenue grew by 5.4 per cent to $3.03 billion. The adjusted profit was three cents per share above expectations of 61 cents per share while revenue was in line with estimates. Telus shed 48 cents to $40.89. Elsewhere, Air Canada (TSX:AC) ran up 48 cents to $9.38 as the carrier posted adjusted profit of $457 million or $1.55 a share, 11 cents higher than forecasts as the airline benefited from higher revenue and cost-savings initiatives. Systemwide passenger revenue rose to $3.48 billion, up 9.4 per cent from the same time last year. MARKET HIGHLIGHTS Highlights at the close of Thursday at world financial market trading.

BUSINESS

BRIEFS

Molson Coors swings to $34M Q3 loss on charges for European brands MONTREAL — The Molson Coors Brewing Co. swung to a US$34.4-million net loss in the third quarter as it faced lower demand and the impact of a large impairment charge in Europe. The loss, equivalent to 19 cents per share, compared with a profit of US$134.3 million or 74 cents per share a year ago. Excluding one-time items, including a US$360-million impairment charge, adjusted profit fell 2.7 per cent to US$271.5 million or $1.46 per diluted share for the period ended Sept. 30, two cents short of analyst expectations. The company earned $279.1 million or $1.51 per share in adjusted profits a year ago. Molson Coors (NYSE:TAP, TSX:TPX.B), which has dual headquarters in Montreal and the Denver area and reports in U.S. dollars, said the decrease was the result of lower volumes, unfavourable currency fluctuations and higher taxes, which were partially offset by higher prices and cost reductions. Revenues dipped slightly to US$1.17 billion. Worldwide beer volume decreased 3.4 per cent to 16.4 million hectolitres. Chief executive Peter Swinburn said its flagship Coors Light brand experienced a one per cent decrease in volume due to weak performance in Canada and the United States. “We are implementing plans to reverse the trends in these markets,” he said during a conference call Thursday. In Canada, underlying pretax income decreased 8.9 per cent to $132.6 million from $145.5 million a year earlier with the lower Canadian dollar having a $5-million negative impact. Sales-to-retail decreased 5.9 per cent, primarily due to the termination

of the Modelo joint venture earlier in the year, lower industry volume and increased promotional activity. Molson Coors said its market share decreased about a half percentage point as overall sales volume decreased 2.2 per cent. Molson Coors’ portfolio includes Coors, Coors Light, Molson Canadian, Carling, Blue Moon, Keystone and Rickard’s.

Saputo Q2 net profit rises 16.8% to $155.7M MONTREAL — Saputo Inc. (TSX:SAP) says net income in its fiscal 2015 second quarter were up almost 17 per cent amid a more than 21 per cent increase in revenue. The Quebec-based diary processor say net profits in the three months ended Sept. 30 were $155.7 million or 39 cents per diluted share, up $22.4 million from $$133.3 million 34 cents in the same fiscal 2014 period. Revenue rose to $2.7 billion from $2.23 billion.

Telus looks to growth in data plans as it delivers flat thirdquarter profits Telus Corp. (TSX:T) says there’s plenty of room to boost performance in its wireless business as Canadians devour a growing quantity of data through their smartphones. Chief executive Joe Natale told analysts Thursday he keeps close tabs on data consumption trends at the telecom company, and found that overall usage is doubling every 18 to 24 months. Wireline revenue increased 2.5 per cent, or $33 million, to $1.34 billion. Across its operations, Telus’ net income was essentially flat at $355 million, or 58 cents per share, compared to $356 million, or 56 cents per share a year ago.

Air Canada accelerating international expansion BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Q3 RESULTS

MONTREAL — Air Canada plans to accelerate expansion on international routes after reporting the best quarter in the airline’s 77-year history. The Montreal-based company (TSX:AC) said Thursday that it plans to increase overall capacity by nine to 10 per cent next year, compared with this year’s projected increase of seven to eight per cent. Much of the added capacity will be in the international business, with domestic capacity project to increase by four or five per cent. More than half of the international growth will come from expansion of its low-cost Rouge subsidiary, while much of the rest will flow from using lower cost Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Rouge is adding Asian and South American destinations and increasing the frequency of some flights to Europe as a new 10-year agreement with pilots allows it to increase the number of widebody aircraft. “We view the expansion of our international and leisure businesses as building blocks for making Air Canada sustainably profitable,” CEO Calin Rovinescu said Thursday during a conference call. Air Canada’s third-quarter net income increased 24 per cent to $323 million as operating income hit an alltime high and margins grew to 13.8 per cent. Adjusting for one-time items, the airline earned a record $457 million or $1.55 per share, up from $365 million or $1.29 per share a year earlier. That was 11 cents better the average analyst estimate of $1.44 per share as compiled by Thomson Reuters. Air Canada’s system-wide passenger revenue rose to a record $3.48 billion, up $299 million or 9.4 per cent from the same time last year. “We believe our record performance in the quarter to be a positive reinforcement of our international growth strategy and the strategic deployment of Air Canada Rouge to compete more effectively in leisure markets,” Rovinescu told analysts. On the Toronto Stock Exchange, Air Canada’s shares were up 40 cents or

4.69 per cent at $9.30 Thursday afternoon. The increased revenues were buoyed by a 31 per cent increase in international traffic passing through Canadian hubs, mainly from the United States. The airline hopes to eventually secure $400 million worth of this traffic destined to Europe and Asia. Ben Smith, president, passenger airlines, said the gains were better than expected which, along with other gains during the period ended Sept. 30, has given Air Canada confidence to accelerate its capacity growth. As well, the airline now has enough flexibility to scale back the increases if a weak economy curtails demand, he added. David Tyerman of Canaccord Genuity said Air Canada’s aggressive capacity expansion next year could “spook investors” over the negative impact on pricing and margins. “That has not been the case so far at Air Canada, so we remain optimistic that Air Canada’s strategy will produce additional financial gains,” he wrote in a report. He said the Air Canada’s third-quarter results were better than expected as demand grew 11 per cent with the load factor coming in a very strong 87.2 per cent. Pricing or yield was also better than expected, falling 1.6 per cent compared with his forecast for a 3.5 per cent decrease. Although a reduction in costs fell short of the airline’s guidance, Air Canada remains on track to reduce non-fuel costs by 15 per cent thanks to lower operating costs for Rouge and the addition of more seats to widebody aircraft. Air Canada announced Thursday that it will buy two more Boeing 777s worth about US$660 million in 2016 and reconfigures much of its widebody fleet with international business and premium economy class seating. Rovinescu said he’s not disappointed that costs fell by only 2.9 per cent in the quarter because the airline’s growing profit led to higher profit sharing with employees.

Fontaine says First Nations talks on the right path BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Engaging with a boriginal groups along the route of the proposed Energy East pipeline hasn’t been without its challenges, but the former chief of the Assembly of First Nations believes TransCanada Corp. (TSX:TRP) is on the right track. Phil Fontaine has been working with TransCanada on the community outreach aspect of Energy East, a $12-billion proposed pipeline that would ship Alberta crude to refineries and export terminals in Quebec and New Brunswick. “I’ve really been impressed with the company’s commitment to full engagement with aboriginal communities. In my view, they get it,” Fontaine told reporters after a speech to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce. “The community outreach has been impressive. We’re involved in that of course in a big way and it’s not without it’s challenges, but I believe we’re on a good path.” TransCanada filed its regulatory application for Energy East to the National Energy Board a week ago. Several environmental groups have vowed to fight the pipeline, raising concerns over the ecological harm that would result from a spill as well the project’s enabling role in oilsands growth. The company says it has met with 158 First Nations and Metis communities across the six provinces the pipeline would traverse. “The outreach so far has worked and we’re going to press on,” said Fontaine. In his speech, Fontaine said it’s a misconception that First Nations are against resource development full stop. “Simply put, we are not in favour of development at all costs,” he said. Consultations with First Nations should not be seen as “an additional burden of doing business in Canada,” he said. Rather, communities want to ensure they get a fair share of the economic benefits and that their land is protected from environmental harm. “Don’t go into our communities thinking that you can shortchange our

ENERGY EAST people, that you can go on the cheap, that we’re an easy sell, that we’re an easy mark,” he said. “We want to safeguard our lands and our waters for future generations, just like you do. We all want the same thing...So it shouldn’t be difficult to obtain consent of aboriginal peoples or indigenous peoples if you know and appreciate that we are after the same thing.” The First Nations population is the fastest growing in Canada at three times the national average. Half of that population is under the age of 25, said Fontaine “We can either look at that as a burden or as an opportunity. And given where we are today, I would suggest that we look at this as an opportunity,” he said. “And the challenge really, if we want to achieve success with this opportunity that’s before us, is to make an effort to create a very highly skilled, very mobile workforce. “Right now, we are so dependent on elsewhere.”

A nostalgic look at musician’s youth in Petty Harbour Where I Belong By Alan Doyle $32.95 Doubleday Canada You may know this lad from the band Great Big Sea, but you don’t know how he got to be the kind of fella he is. Here’s his story of growing up in Petty Harbour, N.L., a tale with more than a touch of blarney, a little hell raisin’ but the kind of childhood that may not occur any place, anymore. Petty Harbour, on the eastPEGGY ern edge of Newfoundland, FREEMAN was a small town, divided in two by a bridge. One side was Protestants and on the other was Catholics. On the one side you would see a small school, likewise on the other side, ditto for two grocery stores, one here and one there. Doyle’s book tells you all about being a young boy in a semi-divided town. The Doyle family were poor, though they didn’t know it, as everyone else was also poor but rich in the important things, like family and music. Alan was born in 1969 so a Canadian. But his parents were born Newfoundlanders, though born on the same island. On April 1, 1949, the people of Newfoundland joined the rest of us in the country of Canada. Alan’s grandfather said, “they picked the right day to sign, cause they were a bunch of fools to join up with the Canadian wolf.” When you live in a small house, in a small town and you are a young kid, your life can be fraught with adventure. Sometimes in the winter, the oil for the furnace would run out. Surely that would be an emergency. Not at the Doyles. Uncles and aunts would arrive, blankets would be draped over the doors against the

drafts, the oven door would be open and then the whole family would play card games and make music and sing. Always, there was music and singing. So Doyle spins out the story of his young life at Petty Harbour. Was it really truly the way he tells it? Well, there was the fisherman Frank Brake, who had travelled the world and told the young boys hair-raising stories. Frank lived in a old railway car and some folks (kids) thought he was a pirate, and they thought maybe that railway car held treasure. Or maybe not. What about when Frank got a fish hook in his hand and the wound got all full of puss? Alan had to

help pull that hook out. He talks about the good things he remembers. Alan reckons he ate two slices of his ma’s homemade bread every day for breakfast. By the time he ended his teen years, he’d eaten 13,870 slices (recipe included). From harvesting cod tongues to daring to climb down Old Woman’s Gulch in a quest for girlie magazines to, eventually, chasing the Protestant girls, it’s a rollicking tale, told by a poet and songwriter. This is a charming and nostalgic look at Alan Doyle’s young years. Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

BOOK REVIEW

Crime story delivers twists that pose difficult questions The Deepest Secret By Carla Buckley Random House On a dark, stormy night with the downpour so heavy one can barely see where they’re driving on the highway, Eve makes a terrible mistake and pulls out her cellphone to read a text message that her husband David sent. He’s waiting at the airport to be picked up. KIRSTEN The road is empty except LOWE for her car, so why not? It’s not like she had to watch out for traffic. However, when she glances up something jumps in front of her car and even though she slams on her breaks, she smashes into whatever it is that came out of nowhere. Pulling to the side of the road where pavement meets forest, Eve pulls out her flashlight to go check on the poor animal she must had hit. What she discovers in the woods is far more heartbreaking — Eve did not hit an animal, she hit Amy, her neighbour’s youngest daughter. She tries CPR and holds Amy close, begging her to wake. It’s no use, for the child (who was just about to start middle school) is dead. Eve can’t call the police — she had been texting and driving and they would be sure to send her to jail for at least four years. She can’t go to jail, she has a marriage that’s falling apart, a moody teenage daughter and a son Tyler who’s just beginning high school. She can’t leave Tyler alone, who would take care of him, a boy who’s deathly allergic to UV rays and who only has a few more years of life to live? So Eve leaves Amy’s body where she found it and returns to the car, focusing on the one thing she cares about — Tyler. Only days after Amy goes missing, an anonymous call comes into the police station claiming they found her body in the river. Now this neighbourhood full of secrets is suddenly bombarded with newscasts and journalists about the mysterious disappearance of a young girl that escalated into a homicide. The suspects range from: ● Amy’s mother, Charlotte, who had always been viewed as caring more about her new boyfriend than her children. ● Robbie, the boyfriend, who the neighbours have an uneasy feeling about whenever in his presence. ● Eve’s own daughter, Melissa, who had been drinking and driving with a licence. ● And of course investigators look into Tyler, who they realize couldn’t have had anything to do with Amy’s death since he’s always locked up in his room — away from any source of UV rays. As if things couldn’t get any worse, the traumatized neighbourhood suddenly develops a problem with a suspicious stalker/creeper who roams at night, peeping in windows. Eve struggles to keep her secret buried as she comforts Charlotte and her family. Eve’s marriage is on the brink (with the help of David’s co-worker Renee). Tyler knows he will not live to experience his 21st birthday. Buckley has written a depressing story that has an underlying sense of hopelessness. It becomes difficult to read, but readers will push forward to find out if Eve will finally come forward and admit what happened or if she will allow the blame to fall on someone else? And that leaves readers with another question: how far will a mother go to protect her children? Kirsten Lowe is a Red Deer College student and freelance book reviewer.

over hers. I’ve been with my husband for 26 years. He is my best friend. He is also a good man who works hard and is devoted to me. I thought victims avoided their abusers or at least showed some emotional issues in their company, but I have never witnessed anything out of order when Raya is here. She is usually happy around us, comes over on her own to swim in our pool, attends family events and shows up when she knows I’m not home. This doesn’t seem like the behaviour of a traumatized person. Raya tells her story to anyone who will listen, and I want her to stop defaming my husband. Do I alienate my daughter for the sake of my marriage? How do we end this nightmare? —Caught in the Middle Dear Caught: Not every abused child reacts the same way, and it is not uncommon for allegations of abuse to surface years after the fact.

There are a lot of adult children who don’t see small changes in their parents’ home as they age. The flip side is parents who don’t realize they need help. My dad didn’t notice the piles of magazines on every surface. When I realized this accumulation was a hazard, I said my children needed magazines for art projects. The liberated magazines were then recycled. I found other small “projects” that took 15 minutes during my weekly visits. Dad didn’t notice, but I’m sure my small changes made his house safer. I wasn’t telling Dad how to do things in his own home, which would have led to arguments and resentment. — Observant Fibber Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

DUCKS IN A ROW

BRIEF Firm denies it forced Connecticut man from job because he posed in Playgirl lumberjack spread HARTFORD, Conn. — A company that helps businesses handle personnel issues denies it forced one if its employees out of his job after it was discovered he had posed nude in Playgirl magazine. Daniel Sawka filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in May 2013 against Roseland, New Jersey-based ADP Inc. alleging sexual harassment. The company responded in a court filing Monday. Sawka worked as a regional sales manager for ADP, which offers workforce management services, including payroll services and human resources management, for other companies and says it has more than 610,000 clients around the world. Sawka, who worked for ADP in Windsor and later in Milford, alleges he was subjected to constant jokes and ridicule at work after a woman in his office discovered he had posed nude in the early 1990s in a lumberjack-themed spread for Playgirl and found the photos online. Jokes included “a comment about homosexual men viewing the photos and what they would be doing while viewing the photos,” according to the lawsuit. “(ADP) employees would say ’timber’ or ’lumberjack’ in reference to the plaintiff and the plaintiff’s photos.” Sawka, 49, said his co-workers continued to download the pictures at work even after he implored them not to and to “leave me alone.” He said company employees brought the issue up during a dinner in New York honouring Sawka for his job performance and during a company outing to a New York Yankees baseball game.

Most sexual fantasies are common BONDAGE, SUBMISSION FANTASY THEMES COMMON AMONG MEN AND WOMEN UNIVERSITE DE MONTREAL STUDY

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Fantasies about sex — from making love outdoors to bondage and submission scenarios — cover the gamut, but many are surprisingly common among both men and women, a study of what constitutes sexual deviation has found. In fact, a survey of more than 1,500 Quebec adults by the Universite de Montreal found that few sexual fantasies are unusual or rare, despite being labelled “atypical” in the bible of mental health, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or the DSM-5. Fantasies about bondage, for instance, are deemed atypical by the DSM-5, said neuropsychologist Christian Joyal, who led the study published Friday in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. However, the survey found that bondage fantasies were common among both male and female respondents, with 30 to 60 per cent of women reporting that they imagined scenarios in which they were tied up or otherwise forced to submit to a sexual partner. Fantasies that mirror powerful man/ submissive woman themes popularized in the trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey have become “so usual, this is mainstream,” said Joyal.

“Thinking about it is arousing for many women, but that’s it — they don’t want to live it, though.” While men often want to turn their fantasies into reality, that’s not true for most women, the survey suggests. “Women, when they have a fantasy, it doesn’t mean at all it is a wish. So they can say ’I have fantasized about being overpowered, but I wouldn’t like to realize it. I don’t want this to happen in real life.”’ Many respondents also fantasized about switching to the opposite role, for instance being the dominant partner, a finding Joyal called unexpected. Males tended more toward fantasies that didn’t involve their spouse or partner, including having sex with two woman at once. In contrast, many women’s fantasies centred on their significant other, but in sexual scenarios that often were exhibitionist in nature. “Women will not begin to wear trench coats and be walking nude in the park,” quipped Joyal. “But making love where there’s a window in a car, for instance, maybe someone will see you — the idea of being caught, maybe, the thrill. This is

really common.” Of 55 fantasy themes dealt with in the Internet-based survey, only two were rare and nine unusual. Men’s fantasies encompassed more themes overall than did the women’s imaginings. With rough sex in national news because of the Jian Ghomeshi affair, Joyal said the study’s findings are timely. As many as nine women — two named — have come forward in the media to allege abusive behaviour by the former “Q” host. Police said they are investigating after three women came forward to complain. Ghomeshi admitted he engaged in rough sex, but insisted it was always consensual, and he said CBC fired him because of the risk that his sex life would become public “as a result of a campaign of false allegations.” Ghomeshi also issued a Facebook post saying he plans to meet the allegations against him head-on. The Quebec study suggests that “certain so-called kinky fantasies” are present among the general population, with 50 per cent to 60 per cent of both men and women reporting their sexual flights of fancy include activities

‘WOMEN, WHEN THEY HAVE A FANTASY, IT DOESN’T AT ALL MEAN IT IS A WISH. SO THEY CAN SAY ‘I HAVE FANTASIZED ABOUT BEING OVERPOWERED, BUT I WOULDN’T LIKE TO REALIZE IT.’’ —CHRISTIAN JOYAL NEUROPSCYHOLOGIST

classed as BDSM, or bondage, domination, sadism and masochism, Joyal said. While researchers don’t know the proportion of people who move from just fantasizing about BDSM to actually engaging in those acts, he said it’s an important issue and one that’s being studied. “If you’re tying up your girlfriend in your bedroom, this is none of my business, as long as she likes it,” he said. But Joyal stressed if a sexual act is violent in nature and hasn’t been consented to by one’s partner, it could be considered not only psychopathological but also possibly criminal.

OTTAWA — Medication for children and prenatal care will be among the new federal health care benefits available to those awaiting a decision on their refugee claim — but only temporarily. The new measures unveiled Tuesday will only be in effect until the federal government has exhausted its legal avenues in the ongoing battle over whether its health care coverage program for refugee claimants is unconstitutional. Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said the government respects the role of the court, but disagrees with a court decision in July that invalidated the existing program, requiring a replacement to be devised. “We’re only doing this, we hope, while our appeal is being heard,” Alexander said in an interview. “We will continue to fight to ensure taxpayers’ resources are respected in our refugee health program.” Tuesday’s measures, however, do not go so far as to restore the comprehensive coverage that was in place prior to 2012 — a shortcoming critics say could put the Conservative government in contempt of court. Earlier Tuesday, the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers — which was part of the original court case — said that if the government didn’t reinstate the full program, they would challenge it anew. Alexander said the government is aware of the risk of a new legal challenge but hopes it doesn’t come to that. “I do hope that everyone who is involved in the refugee sector would return the focus to refugees themselves and successful asylum claimants; those are the people who deserve our support, who deserve our attention,” he said in an interview. “Litigation to benefit people who are none of those things — neither here in good faith nor here as refugees — is, in my view, an unnecessary distraction.”

Clockwise from the left, Ian Sheppard as Miles, Michael Sutherland as Bob, Cynthia Edwards as Barb, and Jessica Summers as Lacy rehearse a scene from the Central Alberta Theatre play My Narrator in the CAT studios at the Memorial Centre.

Quirky CAT plays sometimes hilarious

The Angel of Death is a tart-tongued paper-pusher in the play The Death of Me, while little voices in people’s heads take on a life of their own in the comedy My Narrator. Central Alberta Theatre restarted its dinner theatres at the Quality Inn North Hill on Thursday with two surrealist one-act plays by Canada’s goto playwright, Norm Foster. The result is a quirky, sometimes uneven but occaLANA sionally hilarious evening of MICHELIN entertainment, under the direction of Debra O’Brien. The first play, My Narrator, was the stronger of the two comedies during Tuesday’s dress rehearsal. The plot

REVIEW

is about two young people who are testing the waters to see if they have a shot at romance. Considering that artist Lacy is fed up with men, she’s not initially interested in socially awkward, eager-beaver salesman Miles. Lacy, played with eye-rolling impatience by Jessica Summers, responds negatively to Miles’ repeat offers to help her buy a shirt, but later wavers when he invites her to dinner. Lacy’s “inner narrator” (played by Cynthia Edwards) sensibly tries to steer her away from sad-sack Miles, but starving artists have to eat. Therefore Lacy ignores her narrator and agrees to go out with the misfit, played by Ian Sheppard, to get a free meal. During their first date, Miles manages to come across as desperate, boorish and cheap (he takes Lacy to a divey restaurant because he has a two-forone coupon) — until he also retains an inner narrator (Michael Sutherland) to guide him. Given their penchant for self-sabotage, neither

Lacy nor Miles are always interested in following the prudent advice their narrators give them. This proves especially alarming when their inner voices fall in love with each other and suddenly find a vested interest in keeping Lacy and Miles together. Two veteran CAT actors, Edwards and Sutherland, performed with two relative newbies, Summers and Sheppard, in this fantasy play, and all four worked well together. Although Edwards needs to watch her sing-song delivery and some of the actors’ exchanges could be tightened up, the short scenes zipped along nicely and there was even a bit of a twist ending. Debra O’Brien generally did a good job of mounting the two comedies on the spacious new stage set up in a banquet room at the Quality Inn. The actors moved their own props and minimalist set pieces between the well-paced scenes, and this worked efficiently for both plays.

THEORY OF A DEADMAN

Band gets back to its rock ’n’ roll roots BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF With videos depicting ritual sacrifice and murder, Theory of a Deadman’s latest album, Savages, is definitely more moody than funny. “In the past, there’s often been some lightheartedness, or even a tongue-in-cheek quality to some of our songs” — such as the trashy behaviour lampooned in the hits Lowlife and Bad Girlfriend. “But this time, we wanted to get back to our rock ’n’ roll roots,” said the group’s bassist Dean Back. “There’s a new moodiness to the record that shows our growth and maturity as a band,” Back added. Lead singer and songwriter Tyler Connolly drew on the brutality of 21st-century culture as inspiration for the band’s fifth album. “I got nightmares from Terminator as a kid, and now you can watch real murders on YouTube. We’re so desensitized,” stated Connolly, who “dug in deep” for song themes. “I became a weird hermit and I even grew a beard.” The outcome of all his intense introspection can be heard when Theory of a Deadman performs a soldout show on Saturday, Nov. 15, at Red Deer’s Memorial Centre. Songs like Drown and the title track to Savages are hard-edged anthems to alienation — whether a measure of solace can be found in the solitude or only growing callousness. In Drown’s video, innocence is literally snuffed

Connolly went to Arizona to meet Cooper, “who loved the song” and agreed to speak on it. “He’s a super nice guy,” recalled Connolly, who “stole” the spoken-word idea from Michael Jackson’s Thriller, which contained a voice-over from the late actor Vincent Price. “Alice killed it, I was so happy to work with him,” the singer added. Back and the rest of the band were hoping to meet

Cooper during the making of the song’s video, but the original shock rocker was busy with his world tour and had to tape his part separately. The integrated video is reminiscent of Lord of the Flies, with a group of boys showing their unfettered brutality as Cooper admonishes society for allowing it to happen. Back’s favourite song on the release is the last one — The Sun Has Set on Me, which goes on for more than five minutes.

Lost in space CHRISTOPHER NOLAN’S GRAND IDEA FAILS TO ACHIEVE LIFT-OFF

Even a cool cat like Christopher Nolan can cough up a furball — and with his sci-fi adventure Interstellar, it’s blockbuster-sized.

fortune of being caught not only in the time/space/gravity/love vortex of the film’s multiple dimensions, but also the dizzy inanity of a screenplay that whipsaws between John Steinbeck and Stanley Kubrick. One minute, Cooper is like Tom Joad in an update to Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, global warming and a pernicious crop blight having turned the entire planet into 1930s Dust Bowl America. The next, he’s like Dave Bowman in Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, heading beyond the infinite on a mission of discovery and hope with no guarantee of success or survival. The character split is fine in theory, as is so much of what Nolan and his co-writer brother Jonathan have crammed into Interstellar, which is based on the black hole deductions of theoretical physicists Kip Thorne, who gets a producer’s credit, and Stephen Hawking, who doesn’t. Nolan and bro look fondly back to a time when sweat and pluck conquered the sky and “it seemed like they made something new every day.” They also gaze with wonder toward a future when mankind can think its way out of planetary calamities and zoom through “wormholes” to new worlds.

You have to applaud the film’s respect for the audience’s intelligence. It boldly goes with the assumption that dramatizing Einstein’s Theory of Relativity makes for more gripping blockbuster entertainment than, say, watching two of Michael Bay’s Transformers robots pound the hell out of each other. Regrettably, brain doesn’t beat brawn here, although the eye is frequently treated. There are moments of sheer visual poetry in Interstellar, such as when Cooper’s spacecraft passes through the rings of Saturn, or when a giant wave on a newly found water planet threatens to engulf our heroes, who also include Anne Hathaway’s brittle scientist Amelia Brand. At moments like these, Nolan’s eagerly sought comparisons with Kubrick seem justified, although the homage gets out of hand — Hans Zimmer’s assaultive score too often references the 2001 soundtrack. Interstellar groans from the weight of plot inconsistencies (which are worse than usual for Nolan) and corn that grows as high as an elephant’s eye, both on Cooper’s farm and in the script. McConaughey, Hathaway and their

estimable co-stars — who include Jessica Chastain and Casey Affleck as the daughter and son Coop leaves behind, John Lithgow as the family patriarch and Michael Caine, David Gyasi and Wes Bentley as NASA scientists — have to struggle with ponderous and jargon-filled dialogue (made worse by a deliberately muddy sound design) that inspires more guffaws than awe. Other times, it’s pure gobbledygook, as when a character talks about having to “construct a three-dimensional space within a five-dimensional reality,” in the rushed third act that strives for an unearned “love conquers all” ending. Most troubling of all is the film’s ingrained sexism. All of the female characters are emotional and erratic, often failing to demonstrate the proverbial “right stuff” that McConaughey’s coolheaded Cooper exudes as easily as he drawls. Interstellar takes us decades into the future and through a wormhole of infinite exploration, but when it comes to Hollywood’s treatment of women, it seems just like old times.

even understand what they are saying.” Having grown up just across the border from Seattle, Back listened to grunge groups like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Mother Love Bone. But the band that most influenced his musical sensibilities — and his career track — is Guns and Roses. Back remembers being more into hockey than music while a teenager. But he began taking guitar lessons more seriously after being turned on to Guns and Roses in high school. “Me and Tyler went to the same guitar school and we worked at the same restaurant together.” The two eventually co-founded Theory of a Deadman (which also includes guitarist Dave Brenner and drummer Joey Dandeneau) in 2001, and the

group was signed to Chad Kroeger’s 604 Records. The alternative rock band went on to win legions of fans and a 2003 Juno Award for New Group of the Year. While North American music trends have lately swung more toward a pop format on many radio stations, Theory of a Deadman just finished a European tour with Kentucky-based hard rockers Black Stone Cherry that packed arenas in the U.K and Russia. “We didn’t know what to expect, ’cause we’d never been there before ... but people were so gracious and the fans were amazing,” said Back, who’s looking forward to going back. He’s also “pretty pumped” to play in Red Deer, again.

DEADMAN: ‘Pretty pumped’ to play Red Deer

The power of negative thinking BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES She seems like such an unpleasant and perplexing person, Olive Kitteridge, until you start to recognize yourself in her. Or maybe you don’t. American culture, after all, has spent considerable time and money promoting a positive attitude in all things, as if good cheer can solve any problem. Cancer can be willed away by enough pink ribbons. Football games can be won by banishing negative thoughts and asking for divine intervention. Celebrities speak candidly of ways they’ve learned to shun “negativity.” Bad news is buffed to a shine, vanquished by yoga and kale smoothies and daily affirmation. The chipperest among us envision and achieve success, reserving special pity for the cynics, the cranks, the doubters. There was a time when such realists got dinged on our report cards for what was termed “an attitude problem”; now they simply call us “haters.” Which is one reason I’m so pleased that HBO’s two-night miniseries Olive Kitteridge so ably translates the woman at the centre of Elizabeth Strout’s 2008 novel of the same name. We deal with and even glorify a number of antiheroes on TV these days (most of them the “difficult men,” but not all — have you noticed how despicably Carrie Mathison has behaved this season on Homeland?), yet almost no one seems to know how to portray the life and thoughts of what some might call a negative person. Olive Kitteridge, then, is a miniseries for the rest of us — and it’s a gloriously thoughtful wallow in the subtle and sometimes even insecure ways that families and friends relate to one another. Frances McDormand, who was instrumental in bringing the novel to the small screen, stars as the title character and delivers a performance as good as or better than her finest work on the movie screen. Olive is a role she was meant to play — “resting bitch face” and all. Hopscotching back and forth from the late 1970s to sometime in the 2000s, Olive Kitteridge is about a retired junior-high math teacher in the fictitious coastal village of Crosby, Maine. Olive’s long marriage to Henry (Six Feet Under’s Richard Jenkins), the town pharmacist, seems built on the tired truism that opposites attract: Henry is ceaselessly sunny and happy to engage people in conversation; Olive’s moods border on the misanthropic. She prefers to mutter under her breath or punctuate each sentence with an “Oh, for God’s sake!” She dishes out criticism and marks up tests with an apparent disregard for hurt feelings or empathy. “Well, ducky duck soup” is the best you’ll get out of her when you complain about life. That she’s mostly right about people is of little succor in the long run. She’s no one’s idea of Teacher of the Year or even a favourite neighbour. The Kitteridges’ teenage son, Christopher, picks up on the fact that his mother isn’t well liked, and he internalizes her criticisms and aloofness as a lack of love. As a grown-up (played by The Newsroom’s John Gallagher Jr.), Christopher finds comfort in therapy, which assures him he was raised by a bad mother. Olive herself finds no use in psychobabble and shuns the idea that she might become a better, happier person with the help of antidepressants. You can feel the pressure on her to find something nice to say, to remain pleasant in the face of so much fakeness and mediocrity in the people around her. It’s for this reason alone that I can imagine viewers flipping away from Olive Kitteridge — she’s too much like the sourpuss we’re all either related to or were

But viewers who stick around will come to know Olive better and more deeply in what is essentially a four-hour portrait that relishes both complexity and ambiguity. We get to know Olive from many subtle sides, including the side that is wickedly funny and, beneath the Grinchiness, essentially kind. The teleplay is written by Jane Anderson, and the project is directed by Lisa Cholodenko (The Kids Are All Right); with McDormand’s help, they’ve carved gently into Strout’s novel and come away with an enhanced through-line about a woman who is never as bad as she seems. It’s the little hurts and stray acts of kindness that make Olive human — when she overhears remarks about what a foul person she is and reacts by swiping a few of her daughter-in-law’s belongings, or when she’s tempted to have an affair with a colleague (Peter Mullan) but doesn’t act on it. Or when she recognizes the potential in a student whose mother struggles with manic depression and encounters him again as an unhappy adult (played by Gotham’s Cory Michael Smith) and the two regard one another with an uneasy acknowledgment of the darkness they’ve both known. It’s a downbeat story all the way, enhanced by the harshness of Maine’s seasons and the encroaching loneliness of old age. To this, add the haunting musical contributions from Angela (Martha Wainwright), a piano-playing lounge singer who migrates from her gig at the local steakhouse to serenading the residents of the local nursing home. (She turns Olivia Newton-John’s 1980 hit Magic into a powerfully understated dirge.) Some excellent makeup work ushers McDormand, who is 57, into her 60s and 70s, but she so naturally

wears those years like a favourite old shoe, inhabiting old age in such a fearless way that she hardly needs the extra liver spots that have been applied to her hands — though it is a nice touch. As mortality begins to shadow Olive’s world, she considers joining her father and others who chose the hollow New Englander’s pragmatism in suicide (“I’m waiting for the dog to die, so I can shoot myself,” she says). At her lowest point, Olive encounters a relative newcomer to Crosby, a wealthy Rush Limbaugh-listening widower (Bill Murray) whose mild disdain for the world around him is vague echo of Olive’s misery. The two aren’t meant to be together, but for the moment, they have the mutual assurance that people, on the whole, are no damn good. Olive Kitteridge proves once more that some of the best stories to be told in TV and film run counter to our most familiar coping mechanisms. The Leftovers, for example, shooed away viewers who couldn’t abide its relentlessly depressing worldview. The Comeback, which HBO is bringing back next week, is regarded by most as a hilarious satire of show business, but some of us never forgot that The Comeback’s strongest note was one of deep unhappiness and even deeper insecurity. So, too, with Getting On, beginning its second season next week; it’s set in the geriatric wing of a hospital and, while uproariously funny at times, also has a callous and even disturbing regard for cheer. All of which is to say that Olive Kitteridge is bound to repel those who immediately sense the presence of an enemy, a thing that wishes to drag them down for four hours instead of lift them up. Well, ducky duck soup to them. Maybe it’s the hardened critic in me, but I get Olive Kitteridge. I totally, completely get her.

BROUWER 1931 - 2014 Clarence (Klaas) Brouwer passed into the presence of his Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday November 4 2014 at the age of 83. Clarence was pre-deceased by his wife Dirkje, son Peter, parents Simon and Grietje, and brother Jaap. Clarence was born October 12, 1931 in Magelang Java Indonesia to missionary parents. He was the second of seven children. Life in the Dutch East Indies was calm and idyllic until the Japanese invasion in 1942. That year he was interned in a POW camp and for three difficult years Clarence clung to life and his faith. His father did not survive the war and this left a painful wound. Upon returning to Holland he met the love of his life Dirkje Kooiman. They dated as Clarence completed Horticulture school and entered into the Dutch military for mandatory service. On March 31, 1954 they were united in marriage in Andijk (Netherlands) and within the month they set sail for Halifax and a new life as immigrants in Canada. Soon they welcomed Margaret followed in quick succession by Aileen, Sidney, Peter, Edward and Raymond. Clarence was involved in youth programs and leadership in the Christian Reformed Church (both First and New Life) until recent years when memory failed. Clarence held various jobs over the years in agriculture, roofing, and sheet metal mechanics. He retired from teaching at Red Deer College as a trades instructor. In retirement Clarence and Dirkje travelled extensively and did a stint in mission in the Philippines. Clarence loved to garden and his skill at creating beauty through plants and flowers was legend. Clarence will be lovingly remembered by all his children and grandchildren for his faith, kindness and wise words. We want to extend our thanks to the staff at Villa Marie for their expert and compassionate care of Clarence and Dirkje both in this final year of their lives. A Memorial Service to celebrate Clarence’s life will be held at the Balmoral Bible Chapel, located at the intersection of Highway 11 (55 Street) and Rutherford Drive, Red Deer, Alberta on Saturday, November 8, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be given to the Clarence Brouwer Red Deer College memorial scholarship for worthy students.

STINGEL Daniel Leigh 1961 - 2014 Daniel Leigh Stingel of Lacombe, Alberta passed away on November 4th, 2014 at the age of 53 at the Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre. Dan (or Dano) was born in Pincher Creek, Alberta in February 1961 to Carl & Marg Stingel. He moved with his family to Alix, Alberta in 1967 and later still to their farm two miles west of Alix. In high school, he met Karen Hanes and they began dating. Deciding they were best buddies, they wed in 1983. In 1987 they welcomed their first son, Darcy, followed happily by Derek in 1989 and ‘those Stingel boys’ were complete. Having started as a bodyman in the auto industry, Dan’s career was as successful as it was varied; body shop owner, insurance adjuster, teacher and firefighter were just a few of the hats he wore. His love for his friends and neighbours was evident in his dedication to his community. He had a heart of gold and was always putting others before himself. A Mason, Kinsmen, husband, father, brother, friend, storyteller, hero and more, he will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting and knowing him. He loved you all. He was pre-deceased by some of his beloved aunts and uncles, his mother, Margaret Stingel, and is lovingly survived by Karen, his wife of 31 years; his sons Darcy Stingel and Derek (Ashley) Stingel; his father Carl (Signe) Stingel; his sisters Cynthia (Brian) Fox and Janine Stingel; his sisters-in-law BettyLou Hanes and Gail (George) Payne; brothers-in-law Lloyd Beamish and Kevin (Jose) Hanes; his nephews Ben (Maren) Fox, Joel Fox, Maxime Durflinger, Matt (Trista) Beamish, Courtney Beamish and Jamie Hanes; his nieces Leah (Chris) Simeniuk, Kara (Jeff) Halvorsen, Lindy Payne and Stephanie (Drew) Bakgaard; and many great- nieces and nephews, as well as countless friends who were, and always will be, near and dear to him and his family. A Celebration of Dan’s life will be held at the Lacombe Memorial Centre on Sunday, November 9th at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the Stingels ask that you follow Dan’s lead and pay it forward to those who are in need. A donation in Dan’s name may be made to the Canadian Liver Foundation - www.liver.ca . To express condolences to Dan’s family, please visit www.womboldfuneral homes.com.

Obituaries DUNK Caroline Dorothy Caroline (Carol) Dorothy Bonham-Dunk passed away on Sunday, November 2, 2014 at Stettler Regional Hospital at the age of 93 years. Carol was born on February 23, 1921 near Three Hills, AB, the eldest child of Emil and Sara Maertz. Life was difficult, but family and friends coped by banding together. Our Mom loved school and learning and was a good student. She attended Prairie Bible Institute where she was introduced to Bible stories and scripture verse memorization which formed the foundation of her life-long faith. During the “Dirty Thirties” the family was forced off the farm and they began a new life in Calgary. Mom worked as a housekeeper and then entered the war effort by moving to Hamilton, ON. to work in a gun factory, followed by a civilian job at the Air Base in High River and a stint at Hudson’s Bay in Calgary. In early 1946 she moved to her parent’s farm in the Great Bend District near Delburne. Mom met her future husband Lester Milton (Mickey) Bonham at a wedding dance and it was love at first sight! They were married on November 23, 1946 and built a life together on their farm raising four children. They were actively involved at Great Bend Church of Christ. Mickey retired from the farm in 1972 and he and Mom were able to spend several years travelling to horseshoe tournaments in their camper. Mom penned many beautiful songs and poems about life, love, family and faith which we’ll always treasure. Dad met his untimely death on September 6, 1975 at the age of 55. Being a determined woman she remained on the family farm for several years with her two youngest children Danny and May. When Danny got married and took over the farm Mom started a new chapter in her life and secured employment in Red Deer; however she missed her friends and moved back to Delburne. Paul Dunk then appeared on the scene and they married on December 13, 1980. Together they built a new home on Paul’s acreage where they lived for many years. Mom survived two bouts of cancer in the 1980’s. As time progressed, Paul’s health declined and they moved to Stettler. Paul passed away on March 22, 2012 at the age of 93. Mom now lived at Willow Creek Lodge enjoying time with family and new friends. Mom hands were never idle. Her pleasure and purpose was living a life dedicated to serving the Lord and those around her. She will be lovingly remembered by all who knew her. Carol was predeceased by her parents Emil and Sara Maertz, first husband Mickey Bonham, second husband Paul Dunk, sister Elsie Morley, and brother Elmer (Al) Maertz. Carol is survived by her sister Myrna Switlyck; children Candy (Ron) Dyck, Penny (Harvey) Gamble, Dan (Glenna) Bonham, May (Bill) McKenzie. She was blessed with eight grandchildren Jordie (Brittany) Hawley, Sarah Hawley, Christine Barrios, Amanda (Chris) Hetchler, Coralee Bonham, Selena McKenzie, Grant McKenzie, Amy McKenzie and six great-grandchildren Miguel, Elijah, Tessa, Michael, Hudson and Maelyn. A Memorial Service will be held at Great Bend Church of Christ, NE of Delburne on Hwy 21 on Saturday November 15, 2014 at 2:00 PM. Donations in memory of Carol may be made to Willow Creek Lodge, 6020-47 Ave., Stettler, AB T0C 2L1.

We certainly do miss her, yet in our sadness we still have hopeful hearts in remembering this day last year. What Mom left behind – her life’s journey, her persistent love for and dedication to each of us, and her courage through cancer, we remember these things. She shared her faith right up to the end and today we keep in mind the words she would have heard: “Well done good and faithful servant.” Mom finished well and set a great example. We are all still so proud of her… Our Mom!

risk being arrested and forced to pay bribes for their freedom, he said. The restrictions are so intense that even those who repair their own houses — which often crumble during the rainy season — can be fined if they do so without permission. Many of those fleeing today have been forced to sell everything they have, including precious belongings — land, cattle, gold — to human trafficking brokers who typically charge $2,000 for passage to Malaysia, a Muslim country. Many end up in secret jungle camps in Thailand, where they face extortion and beatings until relatives come up with enough money to win their release. Thai authorities have also been accused of colluding with traffickers, but have denied the allegations. “It’s draining them economically,” Smith said. “This is one of the poorest communities in Asia, one of the most abused, and this whole process is taking the little resources that they have left in exchange for even more abuse.”

According to Fortify Rights, the brokers may collect sums averaging $500 to $600 per small boatload of asylum seekers, usually numbering between 50 and 100 people, and hand those payments to officials from Myanmar’s police, navy and army. Police also have collected payments directly from passengers, the group said, adding that the Myanmar navy once demanded $7,000 from a trafficking ship offshore to allow them to leave. The small boats transport the Rohingya to larger ships further out at sea that can carry as many as 1,000 people. The Fortify Rights report said the vast majority of those fleeing are routinely deceived, finding themselves “in the custody of abusive human trafficking and smuggling gangs, who detain them in conditions of enslavement and exploitation .... nearly all endure or witness torture, deprivation of food and water, confinement in extremely close quarters and other abuses throughout their journeys.”

MYIN HLUT, Myanmar — The small wooden boats leave the shores of western Myanmar nearly every day, overloaded with desperate Rohingya Muslims who are part of one the largest boat exoduses in Asia since the Vietnam War. Helping them on their way: Myanmar’s own security forces, who are profiting off the mass departure of one of the world’s most persecuted minorities by extracting payments from those fleeing. A report to be released Friday by the Bangkok-based advocacy group Fortify Rights, and reporting by The Associated Press, indicate the practice is far more widespread and organized than previously thought, with Myanmar naval boats going so far as to escort asylum seekers out to larger human trafficking ships waiting at sea that are operated by transnational criminal networks. “Myanmar authorities are not only making life so intolerable for Rohingya that they have to flee, they’re also complicit in the process — they’re taking payments and profiting off their exodus,” said Matthew Smith, director of Fortify Rights. Rakhine state spokesman Win Myaing dismissed the allegations as “rumours,” saying he has not “heard of anything happening like that.” He said any naval boats approaching such vessels were likely aiming to help fishermen in need. More than 100,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar’s western shores by boat since Buddhist-Muslim violence erupted in Rakhine state two years ago, according to estimates provided by experts tracking their movements. Chris Lewa, director of the advocacy group Arakan Project, said increasing desperation is behind a huge surge since Oct. 15, with an average of 900 people per day piling into cargo ships parked offshore. In Rakhine state, an aggressive campaign by authorities over the last few months to register family members and officially categorize them as “Bengalis” — implying they are illegal migrants from neighbouring Bangladesh — has aggravated their situation. The deepening crisis comes ahead of a visit by President Barack Obama to Myanmar next week for a regional summit, his second in two years. Obama, who has repeatedly pointed to democratic changes in Myanmar as a foreign policy bright spot, called President Thein Sein recently by telephone to express concerns about a reform

Bin Laden shooter comes forward COLLEAGUES CONFIRM THAT ROBERT O’NEILL FIRED THE FATAL SHOTS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The retired Navy SEAL who says he shot al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in the forehead publicly identified himself Thursday amid a debate among special operations brethren about whether they should break silence about their secret missions. Robert O’Neill, 38, told The Washington Post that he fired the two shots that killed bin Laden. He first recounted the story in February 2013 to Esquire magazine, which identified him only as “the shooter.” One current and one former SEAL confirmed that O’Neill was long known to have fired the shots that killed the leader of the international terror group responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks. O’Neill said that shots also were fired by two other SEAL team members, including Matt Bissonnette, who described the raid somewhat differently in his book, No Easy Day. His lawyer said Bissonnette is under federal criminal investigation over whether he disclosed classified information in the book, which he did not vet with the military. In the Esquire piece, O’Neill makes no mention of Bissonnette shooting bin Laden. O’Neill discussed his role in the raid during a private meeting with relatives of victims of the 9-11 attack on New York’s World Trade Center before the recent opening of the National Sept. 11 Memorial Museum. He donated the shirt he was wearing in the operation,

O’Neill, a retired Navy SEAL who says he shot bin Laden in the head, publicly identified himself Thursday. which is now on display there. O’Neill is scheduled to be featured in lengthy segments next week on Fox News. He told the Post he decided to go public because he feared his identity was going to be leaked by others. Indeed, his name was published Monday by SOFREP, a website operated by former special operations troopers. The actions of both O’Neill and Bissonnette have drawn scorn from some

of their colleagues. In an Oct. 31 open letter, Rear Adm. Brian Losey, who commands the Naval Special Warfare Group, and Force Master Chief Michael Magaraci, the top noncommissioned officer of the group, urged SEALs to lower their public profile. Their comments were widely perceived as being aimed at O’Neill and Bissonnette. “At Naval Special Warfare’s core is the SEAL ethos,” the letter says. “A

critical tenant of our ethos is ‘I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions.”’ The letter added, “We do not abide wilful or selfish disregard for our core values in return for public notoriety or financial gain.” Debra Burlingame, whose brother Charles Burlingame was the pilot of the hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon, attended the 9-11 museum ceremony. She said O’Neill, whose name was not divulged at the event, offered the families clarity on conflicting information they had received about the raid. She said she didn’t have an opinion about whether SEALs should disclose information about their deeds. “Whatever that (SEALs’) ethos is, is between the SEALS,” she said. “The 9-11 families are the beneficiaries of any rules he might have broken or whatever lines he might have crossed.” “He went through the mission in really in great detail. All that information was very helpful to me because this is a figure in a terror organization that has loomed large in our lives,” she said, adding that she listened to him so intently that the 9-11 commemorative coin she was clasping tightly in her hand left a bruise. Rick Woolard, a former SEAL team commander who previously urged his comrades to avoid discussing recent operations, said active-duty SEALs are “pretty much very disappointed and I’d have to say angry with guys who have used their deeds and those of their companions for personal gain.”

Israel tries to defuse tensions in Jerusalem Man charged BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM — In an attempt at diplomatic damage control, Israel’s prime minister reassured Jordan’s king Thursday that he won’t yield to increasing demands by some members of his centre-right coalition to allow Jews to pray at a Muslim-run holy site in Jerusalem. The phone call between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and King Abdullah II came a day after riot police clashed with Palestinians at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s third- holiest shrine. Jordan, which is the custodian of the site, recalled its ambassador in protest.

WORLD

BRIEFS

Israeli-Palestinian confrontations have been escalating in Jerusalem, including near-daily clashes between stone-throwing Palestinians and Israeli riot police. Some of the attacks have turned deadly in recent weeks. Underlying the tensions is longrunning frustration among the city’s 300,000 Palestinians with what many of them view as oppressive Israeli practices, such as restrictions on building, and a separation wall that cuts through Arab neighbourhoods. The unrest was triggered by Muslim fears of Jewish encroachment at the sacred site, a hilltop plateau known to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, and to Jews as the Temple Mount. The complex houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the gold-topped Dome

of the Rock. Jews also revere it as the location of their biblical temples and the most important site in Judaism. Since Israel captured east Jerusalem from Jordan in 1967, Jewish worshippers have been allowed to visit — but not pray — at the site. The area is run by Muslim authorities under Jordanian custody. In recent months, however, several senior members of Netanyahu’s coalition, including Housing Minister Uri Ariel and Deputy Parliament Speaker Moshe Feiglin, have called for a greater Jewish presence and the right to prayer on the mount. At the same time, the number of Jewish visitors to the site has increased over the years, raising fears among Muslims that this is part of a gradual takeover.

Republicans warn Obama on Burkina Faso military leader immigration criticizes regional mediators WASHINGTON — With President OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso — Burkina Faso’s military leader lashed out at regional mediators on Thursday, saying he wasn’t concerned about a two-week deadline imposed by the African Union for him to hand over power to a civilian transitional government or face crippling sanctions. The comments from Lt. Col. Isaac Yacouba Zida come as the international community pressures him to step aside as quickly as possible nearly a week after he declared himself in charge. Zida’s ascension came after Burkina Faso’s president of 27 years fled the country amid mounting opposition to his bid for a fifth term. In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said: “We continue to call for a civilian-led transition as quickly as possible.” However, Zida said the deadline imposed by the AU “is not a concern for us in Burkina Faso.” “We want to have consensus that will allow us to move toward elections where the results will be accepted by everyone,” he said. “We have waited on the African Union in moments when it should have

Barack Obama vowing to press ahead on immigration, prominent Hispanic Republicans are worried about the reaction of staunch conservatives. They fear it will harm the party’s ability to win over Latinos in the next presidential election and beyond. While immigration was generally a muted issue in elections dominated by the Republicans, Obama promised the next day to move ahead on his own to remove the threat of deportation or grant work permits to an unspecified number of immigrants living here illegally. “The initial reaction from Republicans is going to be very ugly and not well- thought-out, unfortunately,” said Alfonso Aguilar, former chief of the U.S. Office of Citizenship in the George W. Bush administration and executive director of Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles. Aguilar said congressional Republicans must offer a plausible alternative to the president’s plan, especially since the Republican- controlled House has shelved bipartisan immigration legislation. His call echoes those of some of the party’s potential 2016 candidates to reach out to His-

Storm floods homes in Haiti, Dominican Republic CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti — Thousands of families in Haiti and the neighbouring Dominican Republic have been displaced by floods from a storm system that drenched the countries for several days, officials said Thursday. Haiti’s Department of Civil Protection said at least 6,000 homes were flooded in Cap-Haitien and several nearby communities and at least 66 homes were completely destroyed. At least five people were killed and one was missing. President Michel Martelly and Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe both toured the area Thursday as officials distributed food and other supplies to flood victims as waters began receding with drier weather. People walked through knee-high water to retrieve what they could from their flooded homes. Officials said at least 4,000 people were in temporary shelters set up at local schools.

in woman’s death returned to Washington BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — A man charged with killing his live-in girlfriend and posting photos of her lifeless body online was returned to Washington state on Thursday after he surrendered to an officer in Oregon and waived extradition. David Kalac, 33, arrived at the county jail in Port Orchard, west of Seattle, late Thursday afternoon, sheriff’s Deputy Scott Wilson said. Kalac was arrested Wednesday night nearly 322 kilometres from the crime scene after a daylong manhunt. He was held overnight in Portland, Oregon, on a second-degree murder charge. Authorities allege Kalac killed Amber Lynn Coplin, 30, earlier this week after an argument in their Port Orchard apartment. He then posted graphic photographs of her body and commented about the killing online, Wilson said. The images appeared on 4chan, an online bulletin board where hundreds of private pictures of nude celebrities appeared earlier this year. Kalac wrote about strangling the woman and his plan to be fatally shot by police. He posted the comments and photos anonymously, but authorities confirmed they were from him, Wilson said. The Kitsap County coroner’s office said Thursday the cause of death was strangulation and blunt-force trauma to the head.

Diagnosis of heart rhythm disorder life-changing BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

LONG QT SYNDROME

TORONTO — When Katherine Dines was ready to start a family, she wanted to make sure there wasn’t something lurking in her genetic makeup that could threaten the health of her children. She had good reason: her mother and maternal grandmother had both died suddenly in their early 20s. And no one knew why. Her mother had experienced numerous fainting spells, and doctors had diagnosed her with epilepsy. She died when Dines was just four months old. “I always had a feeling there was something, but every doctor I talked to always said the same thing: ’Oh, no, it’s just a fluke. There’s nothing to be worried about,”’ said Dines, a radio station host in Ottawa. “I decided, ’OK, I guess that’s the way it is. I’ll just start my family.”’ But when her first daughter, Sydney, was about three and she was expecting her second child, a cousin who worked at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) showed a cardiologist the autopsy report on Dines’s mother. He suggested Sydney be brought in for an electrocardiogram, or ECG. “He diagnosed her on the spot after reading the ECG, which floored me,” recalled Dines. Sydney had long QT syndrome, a genetic heart rhythm disorder that can cause fainting spells, seizures and, in some people, fatal cardiac arrest. Genetic testing showed Dines also had the condition and, after her birth, daughter Grace also was diagnosed with long QT. If one parent carries a mutation that causes the disorder, each child has a 5050 chance of inheriting the flawed gene. Those with the syndrome have structurally normal hearts, but there’s a problem with the electrical impulses that pass through the heart, which can cause it to beat erratically, explained Dr. Robert Gow, a CHEO cardiologist who specializes in electrical heart rhythm disorders. “Under certain ... circumstances, chaotic rhythms can be set up in the heart, which makes the heart beat very quickly and that’s when children would either faint or people would have a cardiac arrest and die,” said Gow, estimating that 15 to 20 per cent of unexplained cardiac deaths among people with no evident heart disease on autopsy may have had undi-

agnosed long QT syndrome. Many Canadians may be unfamiliar with the disorder, which was in the news earlier this week when CHEO filed a court challenge aimed at invalidating patents on human genes. The hospital is using long QT genes as a test case, in the hope a favourable ruling would set a precedent on any human DNA patents. Long QT refers to a reading on an ECG, which measures five types of waves. The interval between the Q and T waves shows electrical activity in the heart’s lower chambers, corresponding to the time it takes for the heart to contract and refill with blood before the next contraction. With long QT syndrome, that interval is abnormally prolonged. Gow said an estimated one in 2,000 to 2,500 Canadians is born with long QT syndrome; about 15 mutated genes have been identified, with one of three of these genes accounting for the syndrome in most families. It’s estimated that at least 10 per cent of babies who have died of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, may have been affected by long QT. While the condition can be managed with drugs called beta blockers, which regulate and slow the heartbeat, and sometimes an implanted defibrillator to restart the heart, Gow said learning that long QT is part of a family’s genetic makeup can be devastating. “We change people’s lives sometimes with these diagnoses, and depending on individual risk profiles, it affects people differently.” Dines, 46, said she and her daughters, now 15 and 12, have had to restrict their physical activity, and managing stress is also critical as that can trigger an episode. “It was life-altering,” she said of the diagnosis. “My kids, they’re not supposed to play competitive sports ... we have to let people know they have the condition, they wear MedicAlert bracelets.” There’s also a portable defibrillator in their home. “It’s scary because you can’t be with your kids 247. As they grow up, you want them to have as normal a life as possible. And to look at them, you wouldn’t know they had a heart condition ... I don’t want them to be fearful of it, but it is challenging.”

Still, knowing long QT runs in one’s family is better than not knowing, said Pam Husband, executive director of the Canadian SADS Foundation. SADS is the acronym for sudden arrhythmia death syndromes, one of which is long QT. Husband didn’t know long QT ran in her former spouse’s family until the sudden death of her 16-yearold son Greg in 1990. He died in bed and was found by his father in the morning. Why his heart stopped was a mystery, though she later learned his was a classic case of long QT syndrome. “My son had years of symptoms. He fainted from the alarm clock in the morning, from midway rides, from being startled in various ways,” said Husband of Mississauga, Ont. “And he was misdiagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy (of unknown cause). “There is an element of almost science fiction attached with some of these sudden cardiac deaths because we just don’t expect them in young people. And when you tell someone that a person died because the alarm clock went off in the morning or the window slammed in the middle of the night or a phone call startled them, it sounds like horror on Elm Street or something.” Husband said it took a year and a half before her son’s death was attributed to long QT syndrome, when her daughter, now 38, was diagnosed, based on ECGs and other tests. DNA sequencing did not pick up any mutations known to cause long QT, so the genetic underpinnings are still a puzzle. “It is basically overwhelming and it has a huge impact on a family in terms of their sense of safety after the fact — for their children, for themselves, for their extended family,” she said. “And it’s difficult for people to come to terms with.” For Susan Edwards, there was no choice: her introduction to long QT couldn’t have been more dramatic. While waiting to be discharged from her local hospital after having her appendix removed, the Oshawa, Ont., mother of two suffered a full cardiac arrest; it took 45 minutes for the code blue team to restart her heart, and she had three more arrests over the next six hours while in the critical care unit. “I was 29, I was perfectly healthy, I was in amazing physical shape, very athletic. And they had nothing to go on,” recalled Edwards, now 36.
