Agri-Trade reaches new heights

‘Wait until we get to England’ WWII VET RECOUNTS BEING WOUNDED ON THE BATTLEFIELD BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

Thousands of people made their way through the doors of Westerner Park this past weekend attending the annual Agri-Trade Equipment Expo. BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Agri-Trade Equipment Expo packed them once again this year. One of the biggest events on the Alberta farming calendar. A record 425 exhibitors — up from 385 last year — set up temporary shop at Westerner Park, where 360,000 square feet of indoor and 75,000 square feet of outdoor space was available. “The show was fantastic,” said Agri-Trade manager Dianne Smirl. “We had great weather co-operation and exhibitors were very pleased with the turnout of interested buyers at the show.” Among newcomers to the show this year was Brandon, Man.-based Precision Land Solutions. Dan Aberhart, director of sales, said the event served as a “coming-out party” for the company, which is expanding west. “We’re in a relatively new business so there was a lot of curiosity about what we do and our products. That drew a lot of people into our tent.” Precision Land Solutions specializes in water management, from drainage to irrigation. It’s an addon to the company’s contracting business installing tile drainage for farm fields.

The new side of the business involves providing producers with the hardware and software to provide variable irrigation based on a detailed profile of the crop and land. “Water is the single best effecter of yield out there,” said Aberhart, whose technology can be used on a wide range of equipment. “There’s hardly a producer out there that doesn’t have some water management issues of one kind or another to be dealt with.” Inside the Prairie Pavilion, Lacombe-based FarmersEdge was showing off its own high-tech approach to giving producers a competitive advantage. The company uses sophisticated technology and soil sampling to create a precision harvest map customized to farm conditions. Farmers also receive onfarm and online support. Grant McCormick, FarmersEdge hub manager, said it’s been a good show this year. “We’ve made a ton of new contacts that we didn’t know before. So we’re very excited about what AgriTrade has brought to the table,” said McCormick. The company has been growing steadily since it started in 2007 and began exhibiting at Agri-Trade. “We’ve grown as a company so we need these kinds of platforms to be able to talk to and communicate with growers on a broad base. Trade shows like Agri-Trade really help us do that.” pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

First time finalist wins Great Grocery Giveaway BY ADVOCATE STAFF The third time was a charm for the winner of this year’s Great Grocery Giveaway. The grand prize — $3,000 in Central Alberta Co-op gift cards — was a welcome surprise for first-time finalist Susannah Burnett. She had entered the annual contest, put on by Central Alberta Co-op and the Red Deer Advocate, for the last three years without success until Saturday morning when the draw was made. “It feels amazing, it feels great,” she said, all smiles and laughter following the draw at the Plaza Shopping Centre Co-op in Red Deer. “I’ve never won anything before.” The long-time Co-op member and newspaper subscriber added she’ll have to wait until next week, though, to start putting the gift cards to use, having shopped on Friday for the 10 for $10 Mix and Match sale. Burnett qualified during the second week of the contest, which ran from Sept. 22 until Nov. 1, using the entry forms published daily in the Advocate. Entrants originally entered to win a grand prize of $1,500, but were told it would double if they were Advocate home delivered subscribers, and all top three winners were, confirmed by publisher Fred Gorman. Second and third place prizes handed out were $1,500 and $500 respectively. A total of 12 finalists, all of which were required to attend the draw to be eligible for prizes, were given a re-usable bag filled with groceries as they were eliminated from grand prize contention. They had been previously awarded a $50 gift card — $100 if they were a newspaper subscriber — when they qualified. Central Alberta Co-op has been operating for over 50 years in eight different communities in Central

“You’re going to Canada.” Those were the medic’s first words to Joe Bill as he crouched over him tending his shattered ankle near Falaise in August 1944. Five weeks after landing in Europe on D-DayPlus-30, Bill’s fighting war was over. A Red Deer boy, Bill enlisted in the army in April 1942. He was in such a hurry to join up, he fudged his age by two years. As coincidence would have it, the doctor giving the physicals at the recruitment office in Camrose had delivered Bill when he was born in Vancouver. When Bill showed up he took one look at him and asked when he was born. With a mixture of bravado and malarkey, Bill bluffed his way through. “I said, ‘You should know. You delivered me in 1923 in Vancouver.’” The ploy worked, and the lad whose birth certificate read May 23, 1925, was in the army. After a few months of training in Camrose and Petawawa, Ont., Bill and the other recruits made their way to Nova Scotia and sailed to Scotland in January 1943. A train trip later, he was in England and posted to the Calgary Highlanders. Many months of training and exercises followed until the Allies were ready to launch their massive invasion of mainland Europe on D-Day, June 6, 1944. While huge efforts had been made to keep the invasion day and its forces secret, everyone knew something big was brewing then. But it wasn’t until the morning of June 6, that Bill and his fellow soldiers knew what had taken place just a few miles across the English Channel from their base in Folkestone . “We just woke up in the morning and they said they’ve landed in France.” All shared the same thought. “‘We’re next,’ we said.” His group of Calgary Highlanders would be sent over as reinforcements on July 6, and were immediately in the thick of it. While the invasion had been a big success, progress ashore had been much slower than anticipated. Key landmarks that were to have been seized within a day or two of landing were still in German hands weeks later. Being thrown into action was a test for the green soldiers. “It was sort of confusing,” Bill recalls. Much of the action could be boiled down to “follow the leader.” On the day he was wounded, Bill was part of a gun crew on a six-pounder anti-tank gun. He had been trained on the gun in Canada, but had later been converted to a rifleman. It was Aug. 13, near the Falaise Gap, when 19-yearold Bill and his crew spotted a German vehicle towing a multi-barrelled mortar. This nasty weapon was dubbed the Moaning Minnie by Allied troops because of the shrill howl of the rockets it launched. “We got close to it and he saw us coming and he left,” recalls Bill. “We took off and went into an orchard and set up our gun because we had seen him pull off.” The two gun crews exchanged fire twice, diving for cover after each salvo. In the second exchange, a piece of shrapnel tore into Bills’ ankle, exposing the bone and leaving his foot dangling by shreds. “I said, ‘I’ve been hit.” He didn’t feel much pain at the time, just numbness, he says. The medics took him a first aid station, where he was checked over and given a shot and transported to a hospital near the beach to await a hospital ship back to England. While there, he woke up to find two injured German soldiers in beds on either side of him. “I was scared,” recalls with a chuckle. “When I got there the doctors said they were going to operate. They said they didn’t know if they would amputate or wait until I got to England. “I said, ‘Wait until we get to England.’”

BROCK MYROL MEMORIAL MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT

SOUTHERN ONTARIO

Charity convoy collects toys in name of Cirillo and Vincent BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A charity motorcade rolled across parts of southern Ontario on Sunday to collect money and toys for military children in the name of slain soldiers Nathan Cirillo and Patrice Vincent. Organizer Randy Young with Friends of Veterans Canada says about 30 vehicles bearing Canadian flags made up the convoy, with small crowds of people at times clustered along highways or on overpasses to cheer them on. Young says that though the number of donations were less than he’d hoped for, he’s optimistic his charity will hit its goal of $100,000 by Christmas Eve. The donations from the VincentCirillo “salute rally” will be given to kids living on military bases as a show of thanks for hardships such as changing schools and losing friends when their parents are transferred. Young says the toys, including those bought with the money, are to be given out as Christmas presents addressed from Cirillo and Vincent, who were killed in separate incidents last month. The ride started at CFB Trenton east of Toronto and headed to a Royal Canadian Legion branch in Hamilton. “We want this to be a celebration of Vincent and Cirillo’s life,” he said by phone while travelling on a highway west of Toronto. “It’s kind of like an Irish wake without the booze. We’re proud of our soldiers and want to the world to know it.” Young said his group’s second annual rally and toy drive aims to send a message of thanks to the youngsters — who feel the at-home stress of military life but get little recognition for the difficulties they can face. “These military kids deserve it. They don’t ask for nothing, they move around this country, they move around the world, what do they ask from us? Nothing,” he said.

To this day, he’s sure that decision saved his foot. His ankle would mend, but is still missing a large chunk. After a week waiting his turn, Bill was flown back to England and sent to a Colchester hospital to recover. Little did he know at the time his older brother, Dick, was in a convalescent hospital just down the road. The brothers were two of five Bill boys and a sister who would don a uniform in the war. All returned home. Dick had gone ashore on D-Day with the Seaforth Highlanders and was wounded in the arm that day. He didn’t return to action, bringing his fighting career to an end after less than a day. After being moved around to various hospitals, Joe Bill was put on a hospital ship in January 1945, and after a 10-day trip arrived in Halifax on Jan. 26. A three-day trip on a hospital train got him to Calgary where he had a month’s leave. He was then sent to a veterans’ hospital in Victoria and wouldn’t come back to Alberta until June, where he underwent yet another operation. On July 26, 1945 he was released from the army. Following the war, Bill saw the opportunity presented by the province’s fledgling oilpatch. He started Red Deer Power Tongs in 1958 before selling it and then forming Red Deer Oilfield Construction. He was later a consultant with Murphy Oil, retiring in 1983. He and wife Elaine, whom he married in 1953, travelled extensively in retirement and live in Red Deer. An out-of-the-blue recognition of his wartime service arrived in the mail only recently. Last month, Bill received a letter saying the French government wanted to honour him with a Knight of the National Order of the Legion of Honour, the country’s highest national honour. Bill and other veterans received the honour as recognition for their role in liberating France. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

FIRST HEAVY SNOW FALL OF THE SEASON

Manitoba premier Selinger will face party vote in March BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CONTINENTAL SHELF

New documents suggest that Canada’s last-minute decision to stretch its claim to the Arctic seabed all the way to the North Pole took federal bureaucrats just as off-guard as it did the rest of the world. Hundreds of pages of records released under Access to Information legislation seem to show bureaucrats were as surprised as Canada’s allies when the Harper government announced it would delay its full submission under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to give it a chance to try and claim exclusive rights to the sea floor under the Pole. Days before the Dec. 6, 2013, submission was due, records show Foreign Affairs lawyers were still sorting out the difference between the geographic, magnetic and geomagnetic poles. “There are apparently three North Poles,” reads a Nov. 21 email. By that time, Canadian scientists had been working for years to prepare their country’s bid for rights to the Arctic seafloor. They had sailed on icebreakers, camped on sea ice and spent about $117 million painstakingly mapping which parts of that area could be shown to be connected to Canada’s continental shelf. Actual mapping was said to be complete in 2011. The submission had been widely expected to stop just short of the North Pole. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has not disputed published reports that Prime Minister Stephen Harper stepped in at the last minute to insist that the North Pole be included. Harper has said in the past that his government is only concerned with getting the largest claim possible for Canada. So when Canada made its official submission on Dec. 9, it said the Arctic component wasn’t complete and that it would eventually include data backing up a claim that would include the Pole. The request from The Canadian Press for documents related to that application generated, after an eight-month wait, more than 500 pages of emails, documents, briefing notes and transcripts. With the exception of material already public such as press releases, the material was heavily redacted. Most documents include only the sender and the recipient, with the entire content of the message blanked out. But enough information survived to suggest how last-minute the decision to try for the Pole was. On Nov. 20, at 5:05 a.m., Foreign Affairs lawyers working on the continental shelf issue were presented with a series of urgent questions from the minister’s office. “(The minister) needs to know by 10 this morning the following ...” reads the email, the rest of which is redacted. There are a blizzard of emails in the following days between officials at the highest level of Canada’s Arctic seafloor mapping program. Old press releases about Santa Claus’s purported Canadian citizenship were dredged up. By Nov. 29, Baird’s office was demanding a complete list of everyone who had been previously consulted about the submission. Five days later, talking points had been prepared for Baird to explain the changes. Urgent questions were being relayed from the Privy Council, the body

that provides advice and support to the prime minister. A media strategy was under development by Nov. 25. Eventually, someone remembered Canada’s allies. “We will have to provide some info for our embassy in Denmark at some point,” reads a Dec. 4 note. “The whole thing just reeks of amateurism,” said Michael Byers, an Arctic expert and professor of international law at the University of British Columbia. “It sounds like the decision-makers had no idea as to the actual facts of the situation and were making up policy without any reference to international law or to decades of diplomatic practice on this issue.” Byers, who argues that geography gives Denmark stronger rights the Pole and that any Canadian claim will disappear in negotiations, says the Harper government’s move was seen internationally as playing to the home crowd. “They all believe that this is entirely Canadian domestic politics and they are hoping that the process will get back on track after the next Canadian election,” said Byers, just back from meeting with Arctic diplomats and academics in Iceland. “They’re hoping that even a Conservative government would put domestic politics aside and get back to the realities of international law and diplomacy.”

WINNIPEG — Embattled Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger will face a party leadership vote at the provincial NDP’s annual convention in March — the end result of an open revolt by high-profile caucus and party executive members. Selinger’s press secretary, Sally Housser, said Sunday that Selinger made the offer to the party executive via conference call a day earlier as a way to address a public split in the NDP that has included the resignation of five senior cabinet ministers. Details of the vote had yet to be worked out, and Selinger refused interview requests Sunday. He told the Winnipeg Free Press Saturday night the leadership vote would allow his opponents to run against him. “This will be a chance for... me to give voice to why I think I should be leader and anybody else that wishes to do that as well,” he told the newspaper. Selinger appeared to have little choice in the matter, given the number of people who oppose him, a political analyst said “I think it’s action he had to take,” Paul Thomas, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Manitoba, said Sunday. Several caucus members and two people who sit on the party executive have openly called on Selinger to consider resigning in the week of continued low polling numbers and controversy over an increase in the provincial sales tax last year. Many caucus members and party officials have refused to say whether they support the premier. One party source told The Canadian Press last week that during a caucus retreat in September, half of the New Democrat members of the legislature wanted Selinger to step down. Under the NDP constitution, Selinger could have faced a leadership review at the party’s convention even if he didn’t agree to one. A 2013 change to the party constitution allows for a vote on the leadership every year. The NDP council, which meets next month and includes anti-Selinger members of the executive, can also force a leadership convention at any time. The party’s 57 constituency associations can also force a leadership race by a majority vote.

Environmental rights THE MOVEMENT IS BUILDING The idea of a right to a healthy environment is getting traction at Canada’s highest political levels. Federal Opposition MP Linda Duncan recently introduced An Act to Establish a Canadian Environmental Bill of Rights in Parliament. If it’s passed, our federal government will have a legal duty to DAVID protect CanadiSUZUKI ans’ right to live in a healthy environment. I’m travelling across Canada with the David Suzuki Foundation’s Blue Dot Tour to encourage people to work for recognition of such a right — locally, regionally and nationally. At the local level, the idea of recognizing citizens’ right to live in a healthy environment is already taking hold. Richmond and Vancouver, B.C., The Pas, Man., and the Montreal

SCIENCE

borough of Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie all recently passed municipal declarations recognizing this basic right. Our ultimate goal is to have the right to a healthy environment recognized in the Constitution’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and a federal environmental bill of rights is a logical precursor. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms itself was preceded by a federal statute, the Bill of Rights, enacted under Prime Minister John Diefenbaker’s Progressive Conservative government in 1960. This isn’t a partisan issue. It appeals to people across the political spectrum and has broad support among Canadians. An earlier attempt to pass a Canadian environmental bill of rights (also led by Linda Duncan) gained the support of MPs from various parties before its passage through Parliament was interrupted by the 2011 federal election. In France, conservative leader Jacques Chirac championed the idea of environmental rights during his presidency. After more than 70,000 French citizens attended public hearings, the Charter for the Environment was enacted in 2005 with support from all political parties. I’ve seen so many positive changes in our legal systems and social safety net in my 78 years — including adoption of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982. My family was

incarcerated in the B.C. Interior during the Second World War, just for being of Japanese descent, even though we were born and raised in Canada. Like other people of colour, my parents didn’t have the right to vote until 1948. First Nations people on reserves couldn’t vote until 1960. And women weren’t even considered “persons” under Canadian law until 1918, when they were given voting rights. Homosexuality was a crime punishable by prison until 1969! I’m convinced that legal recognition for environmental rights will be the next big change. Progress is possible when enough people recognize its necessity and come together to make it happen. Protecting our country and planet, our health and the future of our children and grandchildren is absolutely necessary. We can’t live and be well without clean air and water, nutritious food and the numerous services that diverse and vibrant natural environments provide. Even in Canada, where our spectacular nature and abundant water are sources of pride, we can no longer take these necessities for granted. More than 1,000 drinking-water advisories are in effect in Canada at any time, many of them in First Nations communities. More than half of us live in areas where air quality reaches dangerous levels of toxicity. And from Grassy

Narrows and Sarnia’s Chemical Valley in Ontario to Fort Chipewyan, people are being poisoned because industrial interests and profits are prioritized over their right to live healthy lives. It’s not about hindering industry; it’s about ensuring that companies operating in Canada, as well as our governments, maintain the highest standards and that human health and well-being are always the priority. Evidence shows strong environmental protection can benefit the economy by spurring innovation and competitiveness and reducing health-care costs. This is about giving all Canadians greater say in the democratic process and looking out for the long-term prosperity of Canada. More than half the world’s nations already recognize environmental rights. It’s time for Canada to live up to its values and join this growing global movement. There’s no date yet for a vote on Bill C-634, but its introduction has started a conversation among politicians in Ottawa. Let’s hope people from across the political spectrum will recognize the importance of ensuring that all Canadians have the right to a healthy environment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Does anyone speak for God? Despite my tendency to procrastinate, I would like to respond to some fairly recent articles published by the Red Deer Advocate on the religion page, the first of which appeared Saturday, Aug. 16 entitled Wrestling with disaster, suicide and god. (Re. the lower case “g”: indicative that whoever wrote it did not ascribe deity status to God, or a typo?) The author of the article obviously does consider God deity, providing accurate defense of Him on many counts. However, I found it devoid of any mention of the Bible, generally recognized as God’s Holy Spirit-Inspired Word and therefore worth paying attention to. No reference was made to the free-will of mankind, to whom God clearly gave dominion over the earth in Genesis 1. Nor was there any reference to the information in Genesis 3 indicating that rather than being thankful to God for all the blessings they were free to enjoy in the Garden, Adam and Eve (to whom we are all ultimately related) immediately made use of their freedom of choice to disobey God, thus transferring dominion to Satan, later referred to in the Gospel of John 12:31 as “The Prince of this world.” Sadly, man’s willful independence from God has exponentially increased under the influence of Satan, and the world is increasingly reflecting it. God ultimately sent a remedy in the person of Jesus, and “Whosoever will may come,” but not recognizing that we will either be ruled by God or Satan, (largely because of the latter’s deceptions), the tendency toward attempting to be our own ‘gods’ prevails! God is not the author of evil disasters such as suicide and disease — Satan is. And his ability to deceive and remain hidden make our very evident God (nature reveals His presence every day) appear to be responsible for it all! Satan will oppress to the point of torment, but if we turn toward God His Love will enable us to choose freedom. Suicide, motivated by feelings of futility, worthlessness and hopelessness, may be a way to escape the pain of dealing with Satan-oppressed living, more than a desire to die. Many of today’s disasters are directly related to man’s love of money and rejection of God and family and community responsibilities, which have negatively affected our culture. I won’t be the first to warn that money will do us absolutely no good if we carry on polluting the earth with garbage and plastic residue and continue the practice of fracking the earth’s structure to secure more oil. (A practice long suspected of precipitating earthquakes.) Not to mention the ongoing destruction of many lives and families through abortion, divorce and dogeat-dog lifestyle standards. Don’t blame God. Part of our ‘dominion’ mandate is to carry out lives that are at the very least benign and at best beneficial to others. God is Good. He created the world and all that is in it. To reject Him and His values will only ultimately bring about our own downfall. Jeanette McKenzie Red Deer

Payout shows PCs haven’t learned It’s hard to be civil at times when you read what goes on in politics. Former Alberta Health Services chief financial officer Allaudin Merali listed as “terminated without cause” is a sick joke.

Have all our politicians and bureaucrats any marbles to operate with? Using public money on himself and spending lavishly should be enough to get anyone fired with cause. I feel that this classification was given to Merali so he could get the $900,000 payout that he doesn’t deserve. Before this happened, what morons made up this crazy ridiculous contract? Then Wildrose critic Heather Forsyth says it’s time to close the book on this chapter. NO IT ISN’T! I agree that it’s time to move forward but also time to go back to the decision of who hired this man when his record in Ontario was available. It would also be nice to know who classified Merali as being “terminated without cause.” Both of these yokels should be fired. Just look at that expense account: $370,000 in questionable expenses. This man’s actions are a bunch of doggie doo doo and we are going to let him get away with it. I thought when Jim Prentice came to be premier of Alberta, this nonsense would stop. Surprise, surprise— same old, same old. Just watch, Prentice may try to revive the Golden Palace and blame it on Alison Redford. I know this suggestion won’t do much good, but I would like to see Albertans flood the Internet with their anger and the MLA with emails and faxes and keep the heat on until they get the message. Not just your local MLA but all Alberta MLAs. Send them the message over and over, and over along with comments on social media. As I said earlier, same old same old — just buy a

Aid community Homefront attacks sharpen focus on nervous about plans for exposed patients Remembrance Day BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Government workers have cleared the National War Memorial of the deep drifts of flowers, flags, stuffed animals — even a couple of cans of beer — in preparation for Tuesday’s nationally televised Remembrance Day ceremony. But the tributes keep coming. Sunday morning — less than 48 hours before the prime minister, Governor General, a member of the royal family, veterans, soldiers, mariners, airmen and nests of live TV crews were to descend on the monument — a melancholy peace wrapped itself around the country’s memorial to those who fought and fight on its behalf. More bouquets of flowers had been deposited overnight and during Sunday morning, along with dozens of plastic poppies, and couple of small Canadian flags. But it was the hockey stick, and a battered old football, left in tribute to Cpl. Nathan Cirillo that caused a catch in the throat for many visitors. “I think it’s really cool how people put it there, to show how he’s Canadian, his interests and something personal for him,” said Taylor Bourne, 13, of Ottawa, after silently observing the freshly sprouted display set against the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The murder of two Canadian soldiers on Canadian soil just two days apart late last month, one of them an honour guard standing sentry at the war memorial on Parliament’s doorstep, has made the towering bronze and stone statue a point of pilgrimage. It will also shine an intense national focus on Tuesday’s Nov. 11 ceremonies. “It’s even more focused on not only the veterans but the army today that are still working,” said Bourne. Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was killed Oct. 20 in Quebec when he was run down by a car that police say was driven by a man with jihadist sympathies. Two days later, Cpl. Cirillo was shot point blank while on guard duty at the war memorial. Cirillo died on the spot despite the heroic efforts of medically trained civilians who rushed to his aid. His attacker, who the RCMP says harboured “ideological and political motives,” then set his sights on Parliament Hill, where he died in a hail of gunfire inside the marble-floored hall under the Peace Tower. “Certainly, it’s magnified the im-

portance of Remembrance Day,” said Kim Whalen of Tweed, Ont., moments after wiping away tears in front of the memorial. She and her daughter Tara Whalen, of Kingston, Ont., had come to Ottawa to shop for the day. “This is the most important part of the trip for us,” she said. “It’s a reminder of what these people — all these people — do for us,” added Tara, nodding to include the heavily armed city police who now patrol the site since the deadly attack. This year marks the centenary of the start of the First World War, the terrible industrial slaughter that prompted the first national day of remembrance. Canadian war planes are once again deployed, this time to attack Islamic State militants in Iraq. Poppy sales are up significantly, according to the Royal Canadian Legion, with more than 19 million sold compared to 18 million last year. Princess Anne, whose grandfather King George VI originally dedicated the war memorial in 1939, will be on hand. So will Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who is literally circumnavigating the globe to appear at the National War Memorial. Harper will fly back from a China visit just to be in Ottawa for the day, then immediately jet off to Australia for an international summit. It may be the most emotionally packed Nov. 11 since 2002, when the deaths of four Canadian soldiers to friendly fire in Afghanistan were hammering home the true price of that combat mission. Ruben Marques, a hockey fan in his 20s visiting from Toronto for Sunday night’s Leafs-Senators game, dropped by the memorial with a group of blueclad buddies. Marques said he doesn’t usually do much for Remembrance Day. “You normally stay home, you watch all the commercials and all that Nov. 11 ’lest we forget’ type of thing. Until you come here and experience something like this — something happened here,” said Marques, his voice trailing off. “We’ve been kind of sheltered from it.” His friend John Moreira in a Leafs jacket jumps in: “It took something like this to open up our eyes.” Others at the memorial on Sunday had a different emotion, focused on the attackers rather than their victims.

EBOLA

OTTAWA — Canada’s aid community is buzzing with speculation that the federal government may be poised to escalate its measures aimed at otherwise healthy people who had contact with Ebola patients overseas. Aid agencies are cautioning against anything that would discourage people from travelling to Ebola-stricken West African countries, where medical personnel and expertise are desperately needed to help contain and treat the deadly virus. No announcement has been made, but multiple sources have told The Canadian Press that the government has been giving serious thought to adopting guidelines similar to those announced by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At this week’s annual meeting of the Canadian Network for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, the rumour mill was churning that Ottawa is considering putting additional measures in place. Precisely what those measures entail remains unclear. Talk at the meeting ranged from mandatory quarantines similar to those adopted by some U.S. states to a more modest regimen of monitoring — with the possibility of further restrictions on people’s movement — in line with the CDC’s guidelines. “These are the best and the brightest minds in Canada on how to get on top of this, how to train effectively, how to do community mobilization on prevention,” Plan Canada head Rosemary McCarney said in an interview. “Any number of them said, ’I would like to go, but I can’t be locked in a quarantine that will take me through Christmas ... and I would be worried if our government decided that one of its response measures was to enforce a quarantine on people returning who may not have had any contact with Ebola.”’ The minister’s office has yet to comment on any new measures. So far, all travellers returning to Canada from the three affected West

African countries — Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia — have been referred to a quarantine officer from the Public Health Agency of Canada who checks them at the airport for fever and determines if any more steps need to be taken. In the U.S., the CDC has established a tiered system that treats people differently based on how likely it is that they have been exposed to Ebola. Anyone who has been to a country with a widespread Ebola outbreak and has treated a patient while wearing the proper protective gear, but who shows no signs of illness themselves, is considered to be at “some risk.” Most health workers who have been to an Ebola-stricken country likely fall into that category. The CDC recommends “direct active monitoring” in such cases. That essentially means a public health official visits once a day to take the person’s temperature and check them for any Ebola-like symptoms. The person may also have to check in by telephone at another point in the same day. Public health authorities can also go even further and restrict a person’s movement by ordering them to keep off public transit, avoid crowds and stay home from work. Epidemiologists, contact tracers, airport screeners and laboratory workers are among those who would be in the “low (but non-zero) risk” category. The CDC does not recommend movement restrictions in such cases, but it does require people to check in daily by phone to report their temperature and any symptoms. A growing number of U.S. states have gone even further and are now enforcing mandatory quarantines on travellers who have had any contact with Ebola patients in West Africa. Politics is almost surely at play. A recent poll by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal suggested more than seven in 10 Americans support mandatory quarantines for health workers who have treated Ebola patients in West Africa, even if they have no symptoms.

Visiting author Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail holds the microphone for 94 year old Leslie Euinton of Red Deer as he relates his experience stationed in Burma during WWII from 1941-46. Two other authors joined Metcalfe-Chenail during the session at Red Deer College Friday afternoon including former Red Deer Advocate reporter and editor Elinor Florence and Anne Gufiuk.

Authors share WWII aviation stories BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

RED DEER COLLEGE

Three western authors shared aviation stories from different perspectives from the Second World War at Red Deer College on Friday. The afternoon reading, War Birds featured authors Anne Gafiuk, Elinor Florence and Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail who all write about the Second World War era. It was the first time in recent memory that RDC featured three authors at one reading. Because of the similar themes in the novels and timing of Remembrance Day, RDC thought it would make for an interesting afternoon for history and aviation buffs. The authors, who know one other through mutual friends, will make separate appearances around western Canada in the coming months. Gafiuk’s novel Wings Over High River chronicles the life of veteran pilot and instructor Gordon Jones,

who recently died at the age of 90. Jones from High River flew a Tiger Moth 1214 during the war. The story came to life after Gafiuks attended an air show for research on her planned novel about a school teacher and a pilot. But after meeting the then 88-year-old, the Calgary-based author’s book turned into a biography of Jones. In Birds Eye View: A Wartime Novel Florence, a former journalist and Red Deer Advocate editor, writes a fictional wartime drama about a prairie woman whose town in Saskatchewan becomes an air training base during the war. The woman joins the air force and becomes an interpreter of aerial photographs. Florence said she has been working on her novel on and off for years but it was only until 2010 when she pulled it out that she realized it was time to publish it.

“I looked at it and at one point it made me cry so I thought it must be something if it can touch me after all these years,” said Florence. After the war, Florence’s father who served in the RCAF bought one of the abandoned airfields near North Battleford, Sask. One of the barracks buildings was cut in half and eventually became their family home. Florence said she came from a family that loves to tell stories and she has always had an interest in wartime history. Edmonton author Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail devotes a chapter in her novel Polar Winds: A Century of Flying the North to the Second World War. She delves into the role of aviation in north of the 60th parallel during the war. Metcalfe-Chenail is Edmonton’s official historian laureate.

Grade 7 students take in Trooper sound check BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF About 50 Red Deer students got a lesson in raising a little hell on Saturday. Veteran Canadian rockers Trooper did the teaching in the extra-curricular lesson in rocking out at the Memorial Centre. The multi-platinum-selling rock group welcomed the Grade 7 students to take in their sound check on Saturday ahead of an evening concert with April Wine. It all came together thanks to teacher and big Trooper fan Kelly Goheen, who grew up with the Vancouver band’s music in B.C. “They just bent over backwards to make things work for us. It was phenomenal,” Goheen said. The brush with home-grown rock greatness went over well with his students. “I was just telling Ra (McGuire, Trooper lead singer) I think he’s got a whole new generation of Trooper fans that just got hooked today. “There’s a bunch of these kids who will never have an opportunity to get to a concert. And I don’t know anybody who’s ever gone to a sound check before. “It’s a pretty unique opportunity.” There was even some educational value to the afternoon as well. Watching the many players behind a rock concert opens students’ eyes to careers they may never have considered. It also was a nice fit with the school’s current curriculum. McGuire said the sound check mini-concert was unique for the band as well. “I’m glad they’re interested. I mean they had to be interested to come on a Saturday,” said the genial rocker. He’s happy to see more young fans, but adds the band has always been successful in finding new audiences. The first 15 rows of any show are 18 to 25-year-olds while their original fan core, who would have been snapping up their hit albums in the 1970s, are still there, further back in the crowd. McGuire doesn’t hesitate when asked to explain their timelessness. “It’s definitely the songs. I mean even these kids know (the hits). They were calling out for Raise a Little Hell, and how old are they?” Trooper’s track record is incredible. They are one

About 50 Eastview Middle School students were able to sit in on the band’s sound check before their evening show with April Wine. of Canada’s top five selling bands of all time, according to their website. Their greatest hits album, Hot Shots, is six times platinum. Student Logan Kendze was well aware of Trooper’s music before Saturday. “My parents love them so I kind of grew up listening to it. “It was awesome,” Kendze said. “It was a once-ina-lifetime experience to be at a sound check.” David O’lane also gave them an “awesome” grade. “I thought it was pretty cool,” he said, adding it was interesting to hear how they got from being typi-

cal teenagers to where they are now. Alex Dehod, who does sound work at his school, was interested in the work of the band’s sound crew. “It’s definitely very modern equipment and very well run,” he said. Trooper and April Wine are performing as part of a 100.7 CRUZ FM special free show for their listeners who won tickets. Among the band’s hits are Good Ol’ General Hand Grenade, Two for the Show, We’re Here for a Good Time, Three Dressed Up As a Nine and Drive Away. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Harper inks flurry of trade deals in China THE CANADIAN PRESS BEIJING — Stephen Harper and Chinese officials signed a flurry of trade and currency deals on Saturday worth as much as $2.5 billion while tensions seemingly lingered between the two countries about the detention of a Canadian couple accused of espionage. The prime minister raised his concerns about the three-month imprisonment of Kevin and Julia Garratt with Premier Li Keqiang during a closeddoor meeting at the ornate Great Hall of the People, a spokesman for Harper said. Harper didn’t reiterate those concerns publicly when Li, the second most powerful man in China, was asked about the fate of the Garratts during a post-meeting news conference. “We have discussed a full range of issues in our bilateral relationship in a frank, open and friendly manner,” Harper said in remarks to the media. Li, meantime, said they “talked about the rule of law and human rights.” As for the Garratts, the premier added: “As for individual cases, I want to reiterate that as China continues to build a country under the rule of law, I believe that judicial authorities should be able to handle cases in accordance with the law.” The Garratts have lived and worked in China for 30 years and were running a coffee shop near the North Korean border when they were detained in August on suspicion of spying. They haven’t been charged but have been repeatedly interrogated. Their son, Simeon, was in China in recent days, timing his visit to Harper’s. He has demanded the Chinese release his parents, but said he hasn’t been able to glean much new information about their plight, nor has he been allowed to visit them. “If there’s anybody out there that’s going to be able to help my parents, it’s him,” Garratt told CTV, referring to Harper. The Canadian government hasn’t formally demanded the release of the Garratts.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper speaks to members of the business community in Beijing, China Saturday. But the couple’s detention was among a series of irritants between Canada and China that almost scrubbed Harper’s third visit to the country. The Chinese detained the Garratts just days after Canadian officials publicly accused them of cyberespionage. At the 11th hour less than two weeks ago, Harper opted to travel to China in a visit that has focused largely on trade and economic issues. On Friday, the prime minister confessed one of the reasons he travelled to China was simply because Chinese officials “really wanted me to be here” for the APEC summit kicking off Monday. In keeping with the economic theme of his latest visit, Canada and China signed dozens of commercial deals — including pacts on blueberries, antiair pollution technology and potash — valued at more than $2 billion on

Saturday. Among the biggest agreements signed includes a deal for Bombardier to sell more than $1 billion in aircraft to China Express Airlines. An Air Canada-Air China joint venture is also valued at more than half a billion dollars. And a hotly anticipated reciprocal currency deal between Canada and China marks a significant turning point in relations between the two countries, experts said. The agreement will foster far easier trade between the Canadian dollar and the Chinese yuan, also known as the renminbi. It makes Canada the first country in the Americas to have a deal to trade in the renminbi. Authorized by China’s central bank, it will allow direct business between the Canadian dollar and the Chinese yuan, cutting out the middle man — in most cases, the U.S. dollar.

Royal Bank betting on wearable payment options PARTNERING WITH TORONTO-BASED TECH DEVELOPER BIONYM ON SPECIAL WRISTBAND BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

RBC PAYBAND

TORONTO — You’ve heard of paying retailers with the tap of a smartphone, but Royal Bank thinks shoppers are ready to take another big step: wearing payment options on their wrist. The bank has paired with Torontobased technology developer Bionym to test a wristband called Nymi (pronounced Nim-ee), which identifies owners through their unique heartbeat and then lets them charge purchases to their credit card. The device looks like a watch, and will soon grace the wrists of 250 RBC clients and staff under a pilot project in Toronto that runs through February. Eventually, the bank hopes to roll out its RBC PayBand across the country. Royal Bank (TSX:RY) is focusing more on payment technology in an effort introduce more options, said Jeremy Bornstein, head of the bank’s payments innovation operations. “We’ve been keenly looking at the wearable space for quite some time,” he said in a recent phone interview from the Money 2020 financial innovation convention in Las Vegas. “We’re quickly going to move past

(the test period) to giving clients true choice — not only in what they pay with — but also how they’re paying.” For now, the Nymi band will only work with MasterCard, though eventually the Royal Bank hopes to allow debit transactions. The technology offers a higher level of encryption that will appeal to more than just the banking industry. The wristband has sensors that are programmed to recognize the unique electrical signals emitted by the user’s heart, also called an electrocardiogram. Without the heartbeat identifier the Nymi band shuts down, making it useless it someone steals the device and tries to access your account Bionym sees the product catching on as a unique identification device that would work as an alternative to keys for your automobile, the password for your computer and a way to check in to your hotel room. Royal Bank expects the popularity of mobile payment options to rise in the next few years as more Canadians ditch physical currency in favour of digital wallets.

Several products are in various test stages at the bank, including a higher standard of encryption technology for credit card payments that uniquely identifies every transaction on a credit card — rather than just the uniquely marking the credit card itself — in an effort to block complex forms of fraud. The bank is also working on a service that would create a digital home base on your smartphone for debit and credit cards, as well as giftcards from popular retailers. The goal is to eliminate the plastic in your wallet and migrate those giftcards in your drawers at home, Bornstein said. Royal Bank also partnered with wireless carrier Bell Mobility in January to test smartphone tap payments and plans to draw more attention to the technology next year. “It’s not broad enough yet to bring out the billboards,” Bornstein said. One of the challenges is that older models of BlackBerry and Apple’s iPhone are not advanced enough to support tap payments, which he said means bringing it to the masses has been difficult. “We’re not able to deliver this to anyone with a smartphone, and so we’re working on that,” he added.

the American currency to do business in China are faced with higher currency exchange costs and longer waits to close deals. Jason Henderson, head of global banking for HSBC Canada, lauded the deal. “China is the second largest economy in the world and is growing faster than any of the world’s large economies, so if Canada is going to maintain the standard of living that we have today, we need to tap into that economy,” he said. “It’s important for Canada and it’s a great symbol for Harper to have gone to China to strike this deal; it means we support the internationalization of China’s capital markets and recognize its importance to Canada.” Perrin Beatty, head of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, agreed, but suggested Canada has been too slow to recognize the importance of the Chinese market.

BRIEF Flight attendants at world’s largest airline vote down proposed contract WASHINGTON — Flight attendants at American Airlines rejected a five-year contract Sunday, forcing the world’s largest carrier and its union for cabin-crew workers into binding arbitration. Just 16 votes blocked the contract — with 8,180 voting for and 8,196 voting against, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants said in a statement. The rejection of the contract affects roughly 24,000 workers and complicates the integration of American Airlines and US Airways. The two merged last year to form the world’s biggest airline operator. The proposed contract included guaranteed raises but ended a profit-sharing plan. American Airlines said in a statement that it was “disappointed” by the vote. “This tentative agreement included industry-leading pay and benefits, and would have provided considerably more economic value and much better work rules than the contract that will be determined by arbitration,” it said in a statement. Last month, American Airlines Group Inc., based in Fort Worth, Texas, reported an all-time best $942 million profit in the June-through-September quarter, nearly double the amount that American and US Airways earned separately last year.

Small business confidence is strong for 2015 Small businesses are literally the backbone of the Canadian economy. According to Statistics Canada, as of December 2012 there were 1,107,540 employer businesses in Canada, of which 1,087,803 were considered small — which is defined as those with between one and TALBOT 99 paid employBOGGS ees, and having annual sales revenues of at least $30,000. Some 7.7 million people work for a small business, representing almost 70 per cent of the country’s total private labour force. Approximately 57 per cent of employer businesses in Canada are based in Ontario and Quebec, with the rest in the West (36 per cent), the

MONEYWISE

Atlantic region (seven per cent) and the Territories, Yukon and Nunavut (0.3 per cent). Over half of small businesses are concentrated in four main industries: wholesale trade and retail (18.8 per cent), construction (11.7 per cent), professional, scientific and technical services (11.6 per cent), and other services (10.6 per cent). In other words, the success of the small business sector is of vital importance to the financial well-being of millions of Canadians and their families involved in a wide range of business activities right across the country. A recent BMO report on the confidence level of small businesses across the country gives some positive news for this important financial sector going into the coming year. According to the report, Canadian business owners’ confidence in the state of the economy and the prospects for their businesses in 2015 is higher than it was for 2014. “Canadian small business owners believe their organizations are in good health and are picking up momentum

in order to rebuild the solid business foundation of previous years,” said Steve Murphy, head of Canadian commercial banking with BMO Bank of Montreal. “Of particular interest (is that) business owners from nearly every province have an increased level of optimism compared to last year.” Overall optimism is highest in British Columbia, followed by Alberta, Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, the Prairies and Quebec. Business owners across the country share a positive outlook for the coming year and believe it will be better than 2014. More than half of Canadian business owners expect the economy to do better for the rest of 2014 and believe their businesses will grow in 2015, and one-quarter of them plan to invest more in their businesses next year. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business’s Business Barometer Index in September showed that the optimism of small business owners across the country is holding steady. “Fairly consistent readings suggest

the economy is growing at a moderate pace and we’re also seeing gradually improving conditions in other areas such as employment plans,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president. “Nineteen per cent of owners are expecting to hire more full-time staff over the next few months, which is a positive finding.” “What’s also interesting — and indicates economic stability — is that the health and education, retail and manufacturing sectors are the most optimistic,” Mallett said. “Also, more than 80 per cent of business owners consider order books and accounts receivables to be better than normal — the highest proportions we’ve seen so far in the current business cycle.” Talbot Boggs is a Toronto-based business communications professional who has worked with national news organizations, magazines and corporations in the finance, retail, manufacturing and other industrial sectors.

Kudlow says the amount of published medical research is growing and is spread throughout an estimated 27,000 medical journals, making it nearly impossible to keep up with the latest developments. “What’s the point in publishing something if there is no guarantee that your intended audience will see it?,” says Kudlow. In 2012, Kudlow, grappling with the traditional ways to publicize his research, came up with the idea of TrendMD, an online tool that gives readers a way to find content relevant to their interests, while giving publishers, institutions, industry and authors the ability to target their audience. TrendMD’s business model is based on clicks, and there are two streams of revenue — publishers and sponsors. Publishers place the TrendMD widget at the end of articles published on their websites, at no cost. Using the article content as a guide, the widget then recommends links to related studies elsewhere in the journal — keeping the reader engaged in their area of interest for as long as they want to read and, in turn, making money for the journal with every click. Sponsors, on the other hand, pay to have their content added to TrendMD’s widget after their study is reviewed by the startup’s in-house team. A scientist or doctor, for example, would pay TrendMD a minimum of $20 to have their studies accessed a maximum of 100 times. But the more they pay, the more clicks are available to readers. Each time a reader clicks on a link, 20 cents is deducted from the sponsor’s payment. Of that, 10 cents goes to the host journal, with the rest going to TrendMD. Kudlow estimates that TrendMD has about 250,000 articles indexed from about 200 journals that have signed up with the widget, a number he says is growing at five per cent per week. These articles will only show up within that host publishers

site, meaning the widget on the British Medical Journal’s articles draws only from that site. On the sponsored side, which includes advertisers submitting content to TrendMD for promotion across the network, there are about 850 scholarly articles. With all of this content, TrendMD generates approximately nine million scholarly article recommendations to 2.5 million readers per month, said Kudlow. T he widget is installed across a network of about 200 premium scientific, technical, and medical journals and blogs, including BMJ, Landes Bioscience (Taylor and Francis), and the Journal of Medical Internet Research. “We want to ensure that every piece of scholarly content gets in front of the right audience, so that it has the best chances of generating the impact it deserves,” he says. “In some cases we may grow the audience by 10,000 people that otherwise would have never seen their work.” The “eureka” moment for Kudlow and his partner Dr. Gunther Eysenbach came in 2012 when they stumbled upon a widget that personalized web content, generated by a company called Outbrain. As soon as they saw the widget, they knew it would be a perfect fit for scholarly publishing. In 2013, Kudlow’s application to UTEST — a joint software testing venture between the University of Toronto and MaRS Innovation — received $30,000 in seed funding in exchange for five per cent of the company. After months of testing, TrendMD launched in May 2014. The company has received more than $530,000 in funding from investors such as the Ontario Centres of Excellence, MaRS Innovation and outside interests. Dr. Scott Lear, a Health Sciences professor at Simon Fraser University, says that trying to keep up with the torrent of new medical research is overwhelming. “I get inundated with emails and alerts and the like and nowadays it’s like there’s so much information out there, that it becomes more overwhelming than informative,” he says. Kudlow says that, up until about a decade ago, the distribution of scholarly content had not kept up with the shift to online from print. Yet some researchers and doctors are resistant to change in the industry, arguing that the current system is still effective.

protests in Hong Kong. Climate change, a big concern in smog-filled Beijing, and China’s aggressive behaviour toward its neighbours are also on Obama’s agenda. Douglas Paal, who headed Asia policy under President George W. Bush at the National Security Council, said Chinese leaders have signalled that this visit will determine whether to keep working with Obama or just wait him out. “If he comes in and tries to be tough with them, they’ll see that as putting a period on co-operation with Obama,” said Paal. He added, “They see Hillary Clinton coming.”

WASHINGTON — His influence at home fading, President Barack Obama is looking abroad to China, the opening stop of a three-country trip that will test his ability to play a commanding global role during his final two years in office. Once Obama was treated like a superstar on the world stage. But the president will arrive in Beijing on Monday under far different conditions, with his most powerful days behind him. At home, Republicans are still rejoicing at having pummeled Obama’s party in the midterm elections, relegating Democrats to the minority in both chambers of Congress. His counterparts in Asia surely have noticed. The trip also marks one of Obama’s final chances to deliver on his goal to amplify America’s influence in Asia and the Pacific. In China, Myanmar and Australia, leaders may render a judgment on whether Obama’s lofty ambitions in the region have been sidetracked by crises in Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. “This is going to be a tough trip for the president,” said Ernest Bower, an Asia expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. He said Asian leaders were viewing Obama’s visit with this question in mind: Who is the president after the midterm elections? “They’ll be trying to discern whether he has the commitment and political capital to follow through,” Bower said. Even before the election, Obama’s commitment to the region and his ability to boost U.S. clout there was in doubt in many capitals. U.S. allies such as Japan and South Korea have pressed for a greater American presence, partly to counter China’s growing influence. Yet Obama’s mission against the Islamic State group and his government’s Ebola response have diverted U.S. military and financial resources elsewhere. “The president remains deeply committed to his Asia rebalancing strategy, and its implementation will remain a top priority throughout the second term,” said his national security adviser, Susan Rice. During his three days in China, Obama planned to give a speech about U.S. ties to Asia at the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation summit and meet with President Xi Jinping. U.S. presidents often immerse themselves in foreign affairs during their last years in office, when the focus on the next presidential race saps the energy from their domestic efforts. After last week’s elections, White House officials spoke optimistically about Obama’s prospects for clinching trade deals in

Asia and elsewhere now that Republicans are set to control Congress. Under Obama, U.S. trade negotiators for years have been pursuing the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a major trade pact being negotiated with 11 nations. The talks repeatedly have blown past their deadlines, and other nations have been wary about Obama’s ability to push a deal through Congress, where Democrats are sensitive to the concerns of labour unions. But with Republicans in charge, Obama’s prospects may have increased — so the argument goes. Republicans tend to support trade deals as a way to boost the U.S. economy, and GOP leaders have spoken positively about giving Obama the power to submit a final deal to an up-or-down vote, preventing last-minute amendments that could sink it. China is not part of the talks, and is pursuing its own free trade deals in the region. What’s more, Chinese leaders have viewed Obama’s focus on Asia with suspicion, fearing an attempt to contain China’s growth and influence in the region. In a sign of the political climate facing Obama in China, state-run media have been mocking him in the days before his visit. “Obama always utters ’Yes, we can,’ which led to the high expectations people had for him,” read an editorial in the English-language Global Times. “But he has done an insipid job, offering nearly nothing to his supporters. U.S. society has grown tired of his banality.” Another reminder of the tensions in the region came hours before Obama left on Saturday when North Korea released two American detainees after Obama’s spy chief made a secret mission to Pyongyang to secure their release. In his meetings with Xi, Obama plans to address human rights issues, officials said, including the treatment of journalists as well as pro-democracy

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE

LOS ANGELES — A team of animated Marvel characters rocketed past a group of wormhole-bound astronauts at the weekend box office. Disney’s animated adventure Big Hero 6, featuring the inflatable robot Baymax and his prodigy pal Hiro from the Marvel comic book, debuted in first place with $56.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Paramount’s space saga Interstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway as astronauts, took off in second place with $50 million, estimates said. Before launching in more than 3,500 theatres this weekend, writer-director Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar played Wednesday and Thursday in about 250 theatres equipped to project the movie on film — The Dark Knight filmmaker’s

preferred method of showcasing his creations. Interstellar opened below Nolan’s last film, the mind-bending thriller Inception, which conjured up $62.8 million when it debuted in 2010. Nolan’s sci-fi odyssey also wasn’t in the orbit of last year’s $55.8 million opening for Paramount’s previous space epic, Gravity. Interstellar has a hefty running time of 169 minutes, while Gravity clocked in at 91 minutes. “The difference is Interstellar isn’t in 3D, and certainly the running time on our film does change the play pattern in that you lose an evening show,” said Megan Colligan, Paramount’s head of domestic marketing and distribution. “Given those factors, we did spectacularly well. Gravity also opened by it-

HALIFAX — DHX Media Ltd. (TSX: DHX), announced Saturday that it’s launching a new streaming service to offer its children’s entertainment content across multiple platforms in China. The Canadian company said it has entered into a co-operation agreement with China National Television (CNTV), the new-media broadcast division of China’s state broadcaster, CCTV. DHX will provide more than 700 half hours of children’s content initially for the new service. Some of the series DHX will provide in Mandarin include, Teletubbies, Inspector Gadget, Madeline and Sonic the Hedgehog, to be followed by additional DHX titles such as Caillou, Super Why!, Monster Math Squad and others. The as-yet-unnamed service will be available nationally in the People’s Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong S.A.R., Macau S.A.R. and Taiwan). A launch date has not yet been set. The deal was announced at a signing ceremony attended by Prime Minister Stephen Harper at the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation Summit, in Beijing.

LOS ANGELES — The first Oscar statuettes of the season are being presented Saturday night at the film academy’s Governors Awards. The Hollywood ceremony honours this year’s recipients of honorary Academy Awards: Actress Maureen O’Hara, filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki and screenwriter Jean-Claude Carriere. Actor and activist Harry Belafonte is receiving the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences established the Governors Awards in 2009 as an untelevised celebration of its honorary Oscar winners. “It’s special because it’s an intimate evening,” academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs said in a recent interview. “It’s a chance for the academy to recognize the diverse talent that it takes to realize the dream of moviemaking.” She said the annual event is a favourite of the academy and the film industry because it allows a personal look into the professional lives of exceptional talents.

Thursday night. “That is the only way we will win as a nation and the world.” Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life tour was dedicated to the music from that groundbreaking double album, which included classic hits like Sir Duke, I Wish, As and Isn’t She Lovely. A legendary album celebrated as much for its musicality as its message, the 1976 project won multiple Grammy Awards and further cemented Wonder’s brilliance. The music still resonates, as Wonder proved during an electrifying concert that ran for almost three hours (including intermission) and had the audience roaring and standing on its feet in approval. There were lighthearted moments, such as when Wonder confessed to a flub mid-song — “I forgot my own words,” he said, laughing early on.

I had a hysterectomy and thought I was fine. That was 14 years ago. Now, after 41 years of marriage, my husband has decided he wants a di-

vorce and needs to move on without me. He said something happened to me and that our marriage has been over for a long time. I had no idea I had changed in any way. After reading the letter from “His Wife,” I realized I had gone into a depression. Loss of hormones and painful intercourse did change my moods, creating anger and the loss of affection. My husband never addressed the problems. His usual way of handling anything is to ignore it, walk away and hide. So instead of making me see how I’d changed, he found a girlfriend, vacationed with her and gave her diamond earrings. I want to let couples know that the way to resolve things is to talk about them before it’s too late. And never rule out a medical diagnosis like depression. – On the Way to Divorce Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

B1 Rebels end road trip with loss

MONDAY, NOV. 10, 2014

BUT SUTTER DEEMS IT A SUCCESSFUL TRIP BY ADVOCATE STAFF Americans 3 Rebels 2 (OT) The Red Deer Rebels closed out their six-game Western Hockey League road trip on a losing note Saturday night at Kennewick, Wash., but got a great review from GM/head coach Brent Sutter. The Rebels bench boss was particularly impressed with his club’s thirdperiod performance in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Tri-City Americans, an effort that spoke volumes about the nineday trip in general. The Rebels outshot their hosts 12-8 in the scoreless third period Saturday after giving up a tying goal with just five seconds remaining in the second stanza. “The coaching staff talked after the game about how our work ethic and compete level was as good in the third period of the sixth game of the trip as it was in the first period of the first game,” Sutter said Sunday. “It was a 2-1 game when we took a penalty in the offensive zone when we never had the puck. It happens, and we

weren’t able to kill it off. They scored with just a few seconds left in the period and could have gotten momentum from that, but the kids got right back at it and had a real good third period. “I thought we did a lot of good things in the third.” Maxwell James staked the Americans to a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes. From there, Rebels forward Scott Feser potted his fifth of the season at 1:48 of the second period and Tyler Sand-

hu, with his fifth, gave the visitors a 2-1 lead just over 11 minutes later. With Rebels captain Conner Bleackley off for slashing, Tri-City winger Taylor Vickerman scored the last regulation-time marker at 19:55 of the second frame. Beau McCue scored the winner, beating Red Deer netminder Rylan Toth at 2:34 of overtime. Toth finished with 25 saves. Americans netminder Eric Comrie blocked 23 shots. Despite the setback, Sutter couldn’t find any negatives during a trip that included visits to Cranbrook, B.C., and five U.S. cities and yielded three wins and a single loss in regulation time, plus a shootout loss and an overtime defeat, each of which produced a single point. “To go on a road trip like that, with the amount of travel involved, and to get eight out of 12 points . . . that’s a pretty successful trip,” he noted. “The kids stayed with it all the way. We went through some adversity in games and we just kept playing and trusted our structure and our systems. We did a really good job, I’m pretty pleased with how we played on the road.”

Sutter’s positive overview also included Saturday’s contest. “We played well last night,” he said. “There wasn’t a single game on the trip that we were out of, every game was right there for us. And to have us play as well in the third period last night as we did in the first game was encouraging.” The Rebels returned home without any major injuries. “We have some guys who are banged up and bruised and still didn’t miss any time,” said Sutter. “We don’t play again now until Friday (versus the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes) so we’ll give some guys some days off this week.” Two players who won’t likely be at practice until Thursday are Bleackley and defenceman Haydn Fleury, who will suit up with Team WHL versus Team Russia in Subway Super Series games tonight and Tuesday at Saskatoon and Brandon. Bleackley and Fleury flew to Saskatoon after being dropped off at Calgary International Airport Sunday morning as the Rebels were en route to Red Deer. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Kings can’t find way to take down Trojans BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF

Trojans 5 Kings 1 PENHOLD — The only way for Red Deer Kings head coach Trevor Keeper to look at Saturday’s 5-1 loss to the SAIT Trojans (12-2-0-0) is as a missed opportunity. RDC (6-5-0-1) became the second team to hand the Alberta Colleges Athletic Association men’s hockey first place team a defeat this season with a 2-1 win on Friday. On Saturday at the Penhold Regional Multiplex, they outshot the Trojans 40-29 but still were blown out on the scoreboard. The biggest culprit was a power play that was 0-for-7 and a tough night in net for Kings goalie Mike Salmon, who was given the hook after five goals on 25 shots. “We had an opportunity to play like we did last night tonight and we didn’t,” said Keeper. “I know when we’re playing like we’re capable of that we’re going to be rewarded like we were last night instead of this evening.” Brenden Forbes had two goals for SAIT while Corey Tyrell, Trevor Cameron and Mikeal Jung also scored and Austin Smith had 39 saves for the win. Tyler Berkholtz had the lone goal for the Kings. The power play was a sore point all night for RDC, despite a penalty kill that was a perfect 3-for-3. Missing three of their power-play mainstays to injury — first line rightwinger Greg Lamoureux and offensive defencemen Nick Bell and Shamus Graham — the Kings had difficulty setting up in the Trojans’ zone, and were kept to the perimeter. “It’s a tough situation for (the guys filling in),” said Keeper, who is hoping to have all three players back this week. “They practice it a little bit in practice, but when you’re missing three of your top players on the power play, you tend to not score as many goals or generate as many quality scoring chances.” It was also the first game where Salmon has struggled this year, and still carries a .923 save percentage through four games, though his goals against average has ballooned to 3.01. On the first goal at 9:30 of the first period, he was unable to corral a shot with his glove and the rebound popped out to an open Tyrell with the whole net to shoot at. On the second goal,

SAIT won 5-1. at 11:42 of the second period, Salmon was caught scrambling and unable to find the loose puck which came out to Forbes who buried it. On the third goal at 18:54 of the second, he tripped as he was backing up in his crease, leaving Cameron with the a gaping cage to shoot at. The next time back down the ice, Jung made it 4-1. The one goal he really did not have

a chance at was the fifth, as Forbes scored on a terrific solo effort, somehow managing to beat Salmon as he was being pulled down from behind on a breakaway. “It was an uncharacteristic game for him, he was over aggressive, over playing things, out of his net too much, hesitating to make some decisions, that’s a tough situation,” said Keeper.

“When the players are in that situation and some one might have a bad game no one might notice. For goaltenders when you have an off day, everyone notices.” Kryamer Barnstable played the final 8:10 and stopped all four shots he faced.

Pouliot pushes Oilers to victory over Rangers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oilers 3 Rangers 1 NEW YORK — Benoit Pouliot made the most of his return to Madison Square Garden. Pouliot scored the go-ahead goal against his former team midway through the second period and backup Viktor Fasth made 20 saves as the Edmonton Oilers beat the New York Rangers 3-1 on Sunday night. Pouliot scored his second goal of the season off a nifty pass from linemate Ryan Nugent-Hopkins at 8:29 of the middle period to put the Oilers ahead, 2-1. Pouliot was a key member of the Rangers as they reached the Stanley Cup finals last spring before he signed a five-year, $20-million deal with Edmonton in July. “It was fun to be back and great that we came out with a win,” Pouliot said. “Last year was awesome for me. Of course playing against guys I had a great time with, I wanted to do well.” Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring

at 3:19 of the first with his team-leading fifth this season with assists to Pouliot and Jordan Eberle. Carl Hagelin tied it for the Rangers with 7:26 remaining in the period with his fourth goal. Teddy Purcell’s empty-net goal at with 1:27 remaining in the game sealed the Oilers’ second straight win. Edmonton snapped a four-game losing streak with a win at Buffalo on Friday. “Those are the types of games that we want to get the result in because it goes a long way to the learning process for our guys,” Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said. “We had success throughout the game playing aggressive.” The Rangers lost for the second time in two nights, coming off a 5-4 loss at Toronto on Saturday night. With an unusual 6 p.m. local start time, the Oilers played better from the start, outshooting the Rangers 11-8 in the first period. The trend continued in the second as the Rangers put forth a minimal attack, with six shots on Fasth while Edmonton had 13 more on Lundqvist. The Rangers continued their unin-

spired play in the third, bringing a few jeers from the Madison Square Garden crowd. It took 11 minutes into the final period for New York to register its first shot on goal by Tanner Glass. “Our effort was unacceptable,” Rangers defenceman Marc Staal said. “We were out of sorts all over the ice and we were losing battles. It’s tough to win a hockey game that way.” The 32-year-old Fasth started opposite fellow Swede Henrik Lundqvist for the first time. It was Fasth’s third start in four games in place of Ben Scrivens. “The boys were great blocking shots and making good plays in front of me, especially when they had a push at the end,” Fasth said. “It feels really good as a team.” Lundqvist, who finished with 30 saves, kept the Rangers in the contest, especially in the middle period with saves on Justin Schultz and rookie Leon Draisaitl. The loss left the Rangers’ goalie searching for answers. “When the energy isn’t there, it’s hard to play this game,” he said. “We

need to raise our level. There’s no way around that.” The Oilers were without leading scorer Taylor Hall who missed his fourth straight game with a sprained knee. However, they welcomed captain Andrew Ference back after the defenceman missed three games because of a suspension for an illegal check to head of Vancouver’s Zack Kassian. The Rangers continued to play without injured defencemen Ryan McDonagh (shoulder) and Dan Boyle (hand). They also missed John Moore, who completed a five-game suspension for a high hit on Minnesota’s Erik Haula. Moore can return for Tuesday’s home game against Pittsburgh. Boyle has been out since the season-opener but has resumed practicing with the team and could return this week. Rangers coach Alain Vigneault hinted roster moves could be looming for his inconsistent squad. “We are going to evaluate our team, see where we are, see if we can make some adjustments and go from there,” Vigneault said.

Defending champion Roughriders entering CFL playoffs on winning note BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Corey Chamblin and the Saskatchewan Roughriders are heading into the CFL playoffs on a positive note. The defending Grey Cup champions capped the regular season with a 24-17 home win over Edmonton on Saturday night. The Eskimos had already secured second in the West but Saskatchewan clinched third with the victory, and more importantly snapped an ugly five-game losing streak. The Riders and Eskimos will get to do it all over again, this time at Commonwealth Stadium on Sunday in the West semifinal. The winner will travel to Calgary to face the first-place Stampeders on Nov. 23. “There are two sets of guys in the locker-room right now,” Chamblin said. “There is one set of guys who want to defend last year’s title and there’s another set of guys who want this year’s title to be their first. “There’s a healthy blend in there and I’m really looking forward to getting back to the drawing board to get ready for another game that we know will be ready for us and that we will be ready for.” The big question with the Riders is if incumbent Darian Durant will start Sunday? Durant suffered an elbow injury in a win against Winnipeg on Sept. 7 and recently returned to practice. Veteran Kerry Joseph was Saskatchewan’s starter in the victory over Edmonton. Edmonton won the season series 2-1. Also on Sunday, the Montreal Alouettes (9-9) will host B.C. (9-9) in the East Division semifinal. The Lions finished fourth in the West but secured the third Eastern playoff seed by posting a better record than the Toronto Argonauts (8-10). The Lions will attempt to become the fourth straight team to win the Grey Cup on home soil. B.C. and Montreal split their season series 1-1. The East Division semifinal winner will face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Tim Hortons Field on Nov. 23. The conference champions square off in the Grey Cup game Nov. 30 at B.C. Place. Ottawa (2-16) ended its inaugural season losing 23-5 in Toronto on Friday night. It was the fifth straight loss for the expansion Redblacks, who became just the third CFL club to suffer 16 losses in a season, joining the ’88 Rough Riders and ’97 Ticats. When Calgary’s Jon Cornish takes

to the field Nov. 23, he will do so with a third straight CFL rushing title under his belt. The Stampeders’ star ran for 1,082 yards despite playing in just nine games this season, becoming the league’s lone 1,000-yard rusher in 2014. Cornish, who averaged 7.8 yards per carry, had six 100-yard games this year and broke the 150-yard mark four times, including a season-high 174 yards against Toronto on Sept. 13. Cornish averaged 120.2 yards per contest, compared to the 114.7 yards Hall of Famer Mike Pringle averaged in ’98 when he ran for a league-record 2,065 yards. Cornish joins a very select group of CFL players to have recorded at least three rushing titles. The others include Johnny Bright (’57, ’58, ’59), George Reed (five straight from 1965-’69) and Pringle (four consecutive ’97-2000). Not surprisingly, Cornish has been nominated for the CFL’s outstanding player and Canadian awards, honours he captured last season. But it was B.C. linebacker Solomon Elimimian who had a record-breaking campaign. Elimimian registered a league-record 143 tackles, 54 more than runner-up Bear Woods of Montreal. Elimimian was also the only CFL player to register more than 100 tackles this season. Despite missing Toronto’s seasonending win over Ottawa with a concussion, Argos quarterback Ricky Ray finished the season as the league’s top passer. Ray threw for 4,595 yards, the only player to crack the 4,000-yard plateau. Ray also led the CFL in touchdown passes (28) and was its most accurate starter (68.5 per cent). Adarius Bowman led the league in receiving (112 catches, 1,456 yards and six TDs) and yards from scrimmage (1,470). Bowman was one of just three players to surpass the 1,000-yard plateau, the others being Winnipeg’s Clarence Denmark (65 catches, 1,080 yards, three touchdowns) and Montreal’s Duron Carter (75 receptions, 1,030 yards, seven TDs). Saskatchewan’s John Chick led the CFL in sacks with 15. He anchored a Riders’ defence that posted a leagueleading 61 sacks, six ahead of secondplace Edmonton. Toronto’s Swayze Waters had two solid accomplishments. He finished the season as the CFL scoring leader with 192 points and connected on 47of-52 field goals (90.4 per cent). Waters was also the league’s top punter with a 47.7-yard average.

RED DEER FENCING CLUB Red Deer Fencing Club members Gavin Etmanski and William Langille won epee gold medals in the Priori Cup meet at Calgary during the weekend. Etmanski was victorious in the U15 men’s category and Langille struck

gold in the U13 men’s class of the national circuits event. Meanwhile, Karen Lyver settled for silver in the women’s division and Petar Toshkov (men’s), Robert Foorstrom (veteran men’s) and Etmanski (U13 men’s) picked up bronze medals.

Bad blood grows between Roughriders and Eskimos in regular-season finale BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Roughriders 24 Eskimos 17 REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton Eskimos can agree on one thing — they do not like each other. That was certainly clear Saturday night at Mosaic Stadium where the Riders edged the Eskimos 24-17 in a game that featured plenty of trash talk and heavy hitting. When the dust settled, the Riders had learned their playoff future. Saskatchewan will travel to Edmonton next Sunday to take on the Eskimos in the West semifinal. To stoke the fire, it’ll mark the fourth time these teams will have met in the past seven weeks. “I don’t like those guys over there,” said Saskatchewan running back Anthony Allen, who rushed for game-high 81 yards. “And I’m sure they don’t like us too much either. I can’t wait to see them again and tell them that.” Eskimos players echo those sentiments. “We feel the same way,” Edmonton receiver Fred Stamps said. “There’s a bad taste in our mouth. Nobody likes to lose. There’s always some bad blood between Edmonton and Saskatchewan. I don’t think we like each other very much. Both teams are fighting for the same thing.” The loss ended the Eskimos’ threegame winning streak. Meanwhile, the Riders snapped a five-game losing skid and won for just the second time since starting quarterback Darian Durant was lost to injury on Sept. 7 in Winnipeg.

Kerry Joseph started at quarterback for the Riders and completed just five of 16 pass attempts for 71 yards. He rushed twice for 23 yards and one touchdown all in the first half. But it was the Riders’ rushing attack that propelled the defending Grey Cup champions to victory. Allen and newcomer Steven Miller combined for 152 yards on the ground. Receiver Korey Williams scored Saskatchewan’s second first-half touchdown on an 18-yard run, one that gave the home team a 16-4 lead at halftime. A Rob Bagg touchdown from Tino Sunseri opened the scoring in the third quarter and put the Riders comfortably ahead 23-4. But Edmonton rallied late and Matt Nichols scored on a twoyard run to make things interesting at 24-17 with three minutes to play. Stamps said he expects next week’s contest to be as tight as the fourth quarter was on Saturday. “It’s playoff time and it’s going to get a little harder,” Stamps said after his five-catch, 59-yard performance. “Nothing is going to come easy for either team. Whatever we did at the beginning of the season is over with. We have to put that behind us now and start a new season.” It may be a new season, but it’ll boast the same kind of intensity and animosity that has been building over the last couple of matchups. “You can tell we don’t care for each other,” Allen said. “There’s all kinds of trash talk, guys getting in each other’s faces, lots of big hits. And there’s going to be 10 times as much next week when we see them. I can’t wait to get to their house.”

STORY FROM PAGE B1

RDC: Disappointing It was a disappointing result after the Kings had played so well the night before in Calgary. On Friday, they were not only able to match the Trojans’ physical style of play, they also forechecked hard and used their speed to their advantage. On Saturday, they were only really able to match SAIT’s physicality.

Declan Johnston, Josh Bussard and Lane Sim each scored twice in a 9-0 victory Friday. Also scoring for the Chiefs were Mack Differenz, Tanner Zentner and Jared Wright, while Geordan Andrew made 27 saves for the shutout. On Sunday, the Chiefs rallied for a 6-3 victory as Bussard recorded a hat trick and Zentner, Sam Danchek and Logan Linnell also scored. Justin Anderson stopped 12 shots for the winners. Major bantam The Red Deer Rebels Black dropped both ends of a weekend home-and-home set with the Rocky Mountain Raiders. Josh McNeil fired three goals and Hayden Clayton picked up four assists as the Rebels Black lost 9-5 to the Raiders Saturday at the Arena. Elijah Johanson and Wyatt Gelinas also scored in a losing cause. Wyatt Argent made 36 saves for the hosts, who were outshot 45-34. On Sunday, the Rebels Black were outshot 68-22 in a 9-3 loss to the Raiders at the Max Bell Centre in Calgary. Clayton, Loclyn Kabatoff and Brendon McBride accounted for the other Red Deer goals, while Steven Arthur stopped 59 shots. When they fell behind by three goals, they did not have enough left in the tank to rally. “That’s like running up hill, trying to come out of that hole, you spend a lot of gas and it’s very exhausting, physically and mentally,” said Keeper. This week they’re in Edmonton to play the MacEwan Griffins (7-2-0-3) on Friday at 8:15 p.m. and then host the Griffins on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Penhold. Keeper is expect a similar hard hitting style from the team they eliminated in the first round of last year’s playoffs, winning the best-of-three series 2-1. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Optimist Chiefs take another tough loss BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Storm 4 Optimist Chiefs 2 Red Deer Optimist Chiefs head coach is the first to admit the results the midget AAA team has had this year are not what he was hoping for, however, he sees their hard work and persistence starting to pay off. Despite a 4-2 loss to the Grande Prairie Storm on Sunday at the Red Deer Arena, it was their third straight solid effort in a row, now they just have to find a way to have those efforts transfer over to the win column. “It takes patience,” said Chiefs head coach Brandin Cote. “We’re preaching things that we want them to do and at the end of the day we’re not happy with the results, by any means, but at the same time I’m encouraged, I still totally believe in

this team that when it comes to crunch time we have a team that can contend and compete.” It has been a trying two months for the new head coach as the Chiefs have stumbled out of the gate to sit in the Alberta Midget Hockey League’s basement. Cote has committed to the process all season, and with their recent string of games — including an 8-0 shutout over the Maple Leaf Athletic Club on Saturday in Red Deer and a 1-0 loss to the Canadian Athletic Club last Sunday — the tide finally appears to be turning. “We are seeing growth, and that’s all that I can say,” said Cote. “We have a plan as a coaching staff and we are seeing improvement ... “In terms of the way we are playing and the details and our defensive play that was not so good at the start of the year, that’s been a lot better.” On Sunday, the Storm and Chiefs

entered the third period tied at 2-2, but a goal by Nolan Yaremko 48 seconds into the frame put Red Deer in chase mode and they were unable to get the tying score. Logan Mazerolle iced the game for Grande Prairie with an empty netter, his second goal of the contest. Brett Roberts also scored for the Storm while David Testawich made 28 saves for the win. The Chiefs got goals from Ryley Smith and Tyler Graber while Luke Coleman assisted on both markers. “We need our best players to be better consistently and there’s always one or two mental mistakes that have cost us games,” said Cote. Brandon Bilodeau made 30 saves in his third-straight start — he made 19 stops to pick up the shutout the night before against MLAC. Cote, however, insists they are still in a platoon situation with Bilodeau

and Cole Sears, he was just riding the hot hand, hoping to build on some positive momentum. “Brandon’s earned the right to play right now, Cole has struggled at times, but that doesn’t mean we’re giving up on Cole,” said Cote. “Cole Sears is a guy who has been here before and he’s a guy we expect to be just as valuable as the other guy.” The Chiefs are in Calgary on Saturday to play the Calgary Royals and then host CAC again on Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Red Deer Arena. NOTES — In Saturday’s 8-0 win over CAC, Chase Olsen led the Chiefs with three goals and an assist, Brad Mafofka had two goals and two assists, Smith had two goals and Regan Doig potted the other ... Smith (10 goals, three asssits) and Mafofka (5-8-13) were tied for the team lead in points with 13 heading into the weekend. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Rodgers throws six TDs as Packers pick apart Bears BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Packers 55 Bears 14 GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers had a record-setting night for the Green Bay Packers. The Chicago Bears’ season is quickly turning into a nightmare. Rodgers threw six touchdown passes to tie the franchise game record and match the NFL record for a half, and the Packers routed the reeling Bears 55-14 on Sunday night. Rodgers was 18 of 27 for 315 yards, throwing touchdown passes of 73 and 40 yards to Jordy Nelson. The Packers (6-3) led 42-0 at halftime. Rodgers watched most of the second half from the sideline in knit cap with the win well in hand. The 190th meeting of the NFL’s oldest rivalry turned into an old-fashioned blowout. He tied the team touchdown pass record that he shared with Matt Flynn and matched the NFL mark for a half set by Oakland’s Daryle Lamonica in 1969. A night full of milestones included Rodgers’ 16th scoring pass of 70 yards or more to break the record he shared with Denver’s Peyton Manning and Rodgers’ predecessor in Green Bay, Brett Favre. Rodgers looked just fine two weeks after tweaking his left hamstring in a loss to New Orleans. The 55 points tied a Packers record at Lambeau Field. Both teams were coming off byes. The down time didn’t help the Bears, who have lost five of six to drop to 3-6.

Their defence has fallen completely apart. Two weeks after giving up 38 points in the first half in a 51-23 loss to the Patriots, the Bears set a dubious franchise record by giving up 42 points in a half. Embattled quarterback Jay Cutler was on his way to having another night to forget at Lambeau Field with two first-half turnovers. He has thrown 12 interceptions in four career games in Titletown. Cutler was 22 of 37 for 272 yards. His performance surely won’t ease the withering criticism the quarterback has faced back home in Chicago. Rodgers could seemingly do no wrong. He connected with tight end Andrew Quarless on a 4-yard scoring strike with 3:53 left in the quarter for a 14-0 lead. But the misery was only just beginning for the Chicago secondary. Rodgers found Nelson for a 40-yard touchdown pass with 12:17 left in the second quarter. A screen pass to Eddie Lacy on Green Bay’s next possession turned into another catch-and-run for a 56-yard score and a five-touchdown lead. About the only thing that went wrong for the Packers was when Cobb fumbled near the goal line after a 4-yard catch. The Bears recovered in the end zone — but even that play went awry for Chicago after Kyle Fuller was whistled for unnecessary roughness. Nelson had six receptions for 152 yards, while Cobb had 72 yards on four catches. He caught a touchdown for the sixth straight game.

CHINOOK HOCKEY LEAGUE Generals 6 Eagles 0 Cam Maclise scored twice and Travis Yonkman stopped all 17 shots he faced as the visiting Bentley Generals blanked the Stony Plain Eagles 6-0 in Chinook Hockey League action Saturday.

The Generals, who didn’t score a power-play goal, were assessed six of 10 minor penalties. Stony Plain netminder Wade Waters faced 33 shots. Drillers 7 Eagles 6 The host Okotoks Drillers scored two late goals to edge the Innisfail Eagles 7-6 in another CHL game Saturday. Jesse Todd pulled the hosts into a 6-6 tie with a goal at 11:19 of the third period and Alex Pronchuk potted the winner 62 seconds later. Mike Wirll sniped two goals and contributed three assists for the Eagles, while Mark Bomersback had a goal and two helpers and Chad Ziegler, Matt Hunter and Jeff Young also scored for Innisfail.

Cougars can’t pull off upset HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Warriors 55 Cougars 12 Cinderella was not going to show up for the Notre Dame Cougars tier I high school football provincial game, but their graduating seniors were determined to go out on their terms. The Cougars never had much of a chance against the veteran Henry Wise Wood Warriors out of Calgary on Saturday at Great Chief Park, losing 55-12, but their Grade 12s came within a finger-tip grab of ending their high school football careers in style. They got the ball back after a shanked punt at the Warriors’ 45-yard line with two minutes to go. On the second last play Grade 12 quarterback Keegan MacDonald hit receiver Justin Fedun for 39 yards to get them down inside the Warriors’ 10-yard line with four seconds to go. On the next play, the last of the game, MacDonald rolled out to his right and saw Payton LaGrange sprinting out with him in the end zone, but with a defender in close pursuit the pass just sailed out of reach. “The last drive was just us playing for ourselves,” said MacDonald, 17. “(Head coach Gino Castellan) let us call our own stuff, so we basically asked everyone in the huddle ‘What do we want to run?’ and we all went together and just played and had fun the last couple of minutes.” MacDonald is not sure if this was his last game, he may end up looking to the junior or CIS levels if those opportunities arise. The possibility that football is over is not something that has really sank in for him yet. “I think this might be the last but if I can get (an oppor-

tunity) I will take it,” said MacDonald. “It kind of sucks, but I played with a lot of great guys and had some good coaching.” He will be joined by graduating players Eric Meraw, Taylor Lawrence, Marc Lachmann, Richard Bergeron and Jesse Kowalchuk in limbo status. Castellan, however, says MacDonald and Kowalchuk, at least, should have opportunities elsewhere if they wanted to pursue them. Kowalchuk led the Central Alberta High School Football League regular season with 409 yards receiving on 16 catches with four touchdowns and added a league-high four interceptions. MacDonald had a solid year under centre with 535 passing yards while going 25-for-60 on attempts, and lead the their Tier I/Tier II division in punting with a 31.6 yard average on 37 kicks. MacDonald finished with two touchdown passes on Saturday, a 36-yard screen to Reiss Flunder and a 41-yard bomb to Kowalchuk on a corner route. “They’re all good,” said Castellan of his Grade 12s. “Kowalchuk and Keegan, they had a great year, they were our team leaders all year and today they showed it again.” Saturday, however, was all about the future for the Cougars. Playing No. 3 Henry Wise Wood allowed them to see what the top teams in the province look like in the teir I level. The Warriors were led by quarterback Peter Zajdel who was unstoppable in the first half, hardly missing an attempt and finishing with five touchdowns passes in the first half before the Warriors went to the run for the second half.

Keegan MacDonald of the Notre Dame Cougars tries to escape a tackle from Brendon Hensen of the Henry Wise Wood Warriors during the high school football provincial quarterfinal at Great Chief Park Saturday. The Cougars were defeated by the Warriors 55-12. They were big, they were strong and they overpowered the Cougars. Most of Notre Dame’s top players were in Grade 10 this year, including running back Johannes Smith, who led the league with 884 yards on 151 carries with seven touchdowns. “That was a good team, that’s something our kids have got to look at and say ‘OK, how do we become that good?’ It

takes a lot of hard work,” said Castellan. Other top players coming back include Jacob Plamondon, LaGrange and Fedun, while Devin Desormeau will likely take over at quarterback. They will form a core that will have the potential to make them more than just a one-and-out team come playoff and provincials. “They see now what it

takes,” said Castellan. “Hopefully that carries forward next year and they work hard in the off-season and come into spring camp ready to play and have that hunger to win and be there. That’s why we play these games. That’s a No.3 ranked team and we deserved to lose, but we play it because that’s what we want to be like.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate. com

Red Deer’s Ella Collins returns a ball during a Saturday game against Grace Bell of Calgary in the U12 Junior Challenger at the Red Deer Tennis Club. Collins went on to a 6-0, 6-0 win, then rolled to three more victories en route to winning the girls title. She followed the win over Bell with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Christine Ana Stipanov of Calgary and a 6-2, 6-2 win over another Calgarian, Natasha Scarlett, before edging Edmonton’s Martyna Ostrzygalo 3-6, 6-3, 10-8 in the championship final. Meanwhile, Isaac Aspinall of Red Deer posted a 0-2 record in boys play. He was defeated 6-4, 6-1 and 6-3, 6-3 by Calgary players Aiden Rypien-Nazar and Artemy Gavrilov, who won the boys consolation title. William Atkins of Calgary captured the boys crown.

Lakers 22 Royals 9 SYLVAN LAKE — The weather conditions and the Cold Lake Royals defence left the Sylvan Lake Lakers with one option in Saturday’s provincial Tier 3 North Regional high school football semifinal. So, like most good team do, the Lakers used their out card as quarterback Skylar Selk passed for 227 yards and one touchdown in a 22-9 victory over the visitors. “We’ll take it. I guess it was kind of an ugly win,” said Lakers head coach Jeremy Braitenback. Except that Selk’s passing yardage was anything but unattractive on a cold, windy day that featured snowflakes before the contest was complete. “I think that’s kind of what the game dictated, that we had to throw,” said Braitenback. “They (Royals) stopped our running game so we had to pass and we completed enough to get some points. And the defence did a great job and held on for us.” The Lakers never trailed in the game, and in fact grabbed a permanent lead when Landon Rosene returned the opening kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown. “We should draw that up every game,” Braitenback joked. But seriously . . . “We’ve worked on that all year, but nobody we’ve played has been able to kick the ball deep enough,” said the Lakers sideline boss. “This was the first time it all came together and it didn’t hurt that

Landon Rosene was returning, as well.” Rosene was also a major threat through the air, hauling in six passes for 96 yards. Tyrese Hamilton led a Sylvan Lake ground game with 28 yards on four carries. The Lakers coughed up a punt single in the first quarter, then recovered a Cold Lake fumble at the Royals’ 31-yard line 3:08 into the second quarter and got into the end zone four plays later on a five-yard run by Hamilton. Royals quarterback Justin Hodinsky got his team back into the game two minutes later, running 40 yards for a touchdown that didn’t include a convert. “We didn’t really know much about their team. We kind of knew that their quarterback could run and that #36 (Ivan Boychuk) was a good linebacker,” said Braitenback. “Their quarterback wasn’t a great passer today, though. He was more of a threat with his feet and if he had run more I think we might have been in trouble.” As it was, Hodinsky ran for 124 yards on nine carries and completed eight of 30 pass attempts for 100 yards, but didn’t produce another score for his team. The Lakers jumped out to a 22-7 lead when Selk, from the one-yard line, hit Chase Elwood in the end zone late in the third quarter. The Royals scored a safety six minutes into the fourth quarter and then worked down to the Lakers’ two-yard stripe with just over two minutes remaining. But Elwood intercepted Hodinsky’s throw

into the end zone and the winners ran out the clock. Elwood, a defensive end/receiver, also knocked down a pair of passes and recorded a sack. “We kind of use him around the goal line because of his height,” said Braitenback. “He’s a big-play kind of guy. He was last year’s league rookie of the year so we have him next year as well.” The Lakers will travel to Whitecourt to face the Cats in this Saturday’s Northern Tier 3 final. “We don’t know much about them, either,” Braitenback said Sunday. “Expect that their record (7-3) and their game yesterday (52-7 North semifinal win over St. Albert) says they’re going to be a pretty tough opponent.” ● The Hunting Hills Lightning were 28-7 losers to the host Okotoks Foothills Falcons in a Tier 2 South semifinal Saturday.

Defensive effort helps Kings get win back against Broncos

Kings 3 Rattlers 1 The Red Deer College Kings didn’t win 11 national men’s college volleyball championships over the years without overcoming a bit of adversity at times. They won not only because of their starting roster, but their talent on the bench. This year’s edition of the Kings (5-1, 16-5) is no exception. Earlier this season they lost fifth-year middle Chris Osborn, who left to join the work force, leaving outside hitter Tim Finnigan as the team’s leader on and off the court. On Saturday afternoon when Finnigan went down in the third set against the Medicine Hat College Rattlers (62, 19-7) with a thigh injury, the Kings bench stepped up and never missed a beat as they downed the Rattlers 3-1 (25-23, 15-25, 25-17, 25-18) at RDC. Rookie right side Scott Irvine out of Lindsay Thurber stepped in and finished with three kills, two stuff blocks and four digs. “Scott is very athletic with a lot of upside,” said Kings head coach Aaron Schulha. “His consistency hasn’t been there yet, but when Tim went down Scott showed what he can do.” As did the rest of the team. They didn’t letdown one bit. “There was some concern about that, but they (Rattlers) missed a lot of serves which helped us build some momentum,” said Schulha. “We also got our middles involved more which spread things out a bit.” Rookie middle Adam Turlejski of Melbourne, Australia, was especially strong in the fourth set, accumulating four of his five kills and three stuff blocks. The win gave the Kings a weekend sweep of their ACAC doubleheader against the Rattlers, 6-2, who came in ranked second in Canada, behind RDC. “They’re a very talented team, but made a lot of errors, which you see from an aggressive team,” added Schulha. The Rattlers missed 28 serves over the four sets while RDC missed 10. Anthony Finnigan had a solid match and was named the RDC player of the game with seven kills and five digs.

Tim Finnigan had five kills before leaving while Kashtin De Souza had two kills and eight digs. Libero Pat McIntyre had eight digs. Isak Helland-Hansen had 15 kills for MHC while Red Deer native, and setter, Aaron Pierick had a kill, one block, an ace and 11 digs. The Kings face Ambrose College (24, 7-13) and Olds (0-6, 1-18) over the next two weeks, which should give them a chance to get healthy. Besides Tim Finnigan, Tanner Rehn is out with a concussion and backup setter Tegan McGraw had a shin problem. Queens 3 Rattlers 0 RDC Queens head coach Talbot Walton didn’t have the injuries, but was able to use a large portion of his bench in a 3-0 (25-19, 25-12, 25-22) victory over the Rattlers. “We had some people who needed to play,” he said. “They have been showing good progress the last couple of weeks, and demonstrated at practice they can play at a high level. “This was a bit of an opportunity for them to get rid of some nerves and trust themselves, realizing their skill level is good enough.” Backup setter Ashley Fehr played the complete match and was named the player of the game with three kills, an ace, two blocks and five digs. She also did a great job of spreading the ball around. She consistently got middle Megan Schmidt involved in the offence, which was something Walton was glad to see. “Megan did some things we’ve been looking for her to try to do,” said Walton. “The same with Miranda (Dawe). “The abilities of those three are high; they just needed some confidence to try some things.” Lauren Marshall, a first-year power hitter out of Calgary, came on in the second set and finished with six kills and two digs. Dawe led the Queens with 13 kills, an ace and nine digs while Schmidt had 12 kills, two blocks and a dig. Kelsey Tymkow finished with four kills, four aces and seven digs. Sarah Burris had 13 kills and five digs for MHC. Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter, who can be reached at drode@reddeeradvocate.com. His work can also be seen at www.rdc.ab.ca/athleticsblog

Canucks 4 Grizzlys 3 CALGARY — Landon Kletke recorded a power-play hat trick Saturday but it was in vain as the Olds Grizzlys dropped a 4-3 AJHL decision to the Calgary Canucks before 197 fans at the Max Bell Centre. Scoring for the Canucks were Matt Rypien, Tyler Benko, Brendon Benson and Josh Betinol, who potted the eventual winner at 5:29 of the third oeriod. Chris Gerrie and Kodi Schwartz each picked up a pair of assists for the Grizzlys, who trailed 1-0 after one period and 3-2 after two. Olds was thee-for-eight with a man advantage; Calgary was one-for-seven. Canucks netminder Colin Cooper and

Billy Gorn of the Grizzlys each made 32 saves. Grizzlys 4 Dragons 3 Ty Mappin scored twice as the Grizzlys doubled the host Drumheller Dragons 4-2 Friday. Mappin opened and closing the scoring, connecting at 9:04 of the first period and adding an empty-net, insurance marker with 1:03 remaining in the contest. Alex Brewer and Chase Olsen, with the eventual winner — snapping a 2-2 tie at 4:18 of the third period — also tallied for the Grizzlys in front of 683 fans at the Drumheller Memorial Arena. Replying for the Dragons were Tristan Thompson and Chad Harrison. Gorn turned aside 19 shots as the winning goalie. Curtis Skip made 28 saves for the Dragons. Olds returns to action Wednesday versus the host Brooks Bandits.

Broncos 63 Queens 40 The RDC Queens (0-6) also played a stronger defensive game than they did in an 84-57 loss at Olds Friday, but their offence was missing for most of the game, and as a result fell 63-40 to the Broncos (6-0). The Queens trailed 18-12 after the first quarter, but managed to score only five points in both the second and third quarters. They trailed 36-17 at the half and 49-22 after three quarters. “The issue right now is that we take plays off and we have to stop,” said Queens head coach Ken King. “We play great defence for 20 seconds, then take a second off and get burned. It’s the same thing on the offensive end. We decide not to cut, or make a good pass, or take a good shot and it kills us.” The Queens are also not getting any scoring from their inside players, managing just four points from their forwards. “Our shots weren’t falling like we hoped,” said King. “In fact overall, it was as bad as it has been all year.” Dedra Janvier led the Queens with 14 points and six rebounds while Cassidy Hollingsworth and Morgan Dool added six points each. Renetha Burton had 20 points and 15 boards for Olds with Marie Lupe adding 10 and nine. RDC host Lethbridge College Friday evening and Saturday afternoon.

Kings 82 Broncos 71 The Red Deer College Kings looked more like themselves Saturday and it showed on the scoreboard. On Friday the Kings got into a road shootout with the Olds Broncos and came out on the wrong end of a 10398 score in Alberta Colleges Athletics Conference men’s basketball play. The Kings (4-2) returned home Saturday and returned to a more defensive games and finished with an 82-71 victory over the Broncos (3-3). “It was a solid defensive effort, more our style of basketball,” said Kings head coach Clayton Pottinger. “Last night’s game was an anomaly. When we get in shootouts we don’t do well. We need to defend and control the tempo and we did a better job of that tonight.” The Kings held the high-scoring Broncos to just nine points in the first quarter, taking a 23-9 lead. RDC led 39-24 at the half but Olds narrowed the gap to 58-48 after three quarters. One of the reasons for the Kings’ success on the defensive end was being able to control South Division scoring leader Kaleel Faiz. Benny Bankazo went head-to-head with him the majority of the time and held Faiz to 10 points. “Benny did a great job on him,” said Pottinger. “We made some adjustments on him and (Anthony Heintzman), who had seven threes on Friday. Thankfully we got them a little more out of rhythm today.” Heintzman did manage three threepointers and 11 points overall. The Kings were the better team on the evening holding a 54-44 edge in rebounds and connected on 47.7 per cent of their field goals while limiting Olds to 31.0 per cent. “We had a lot of resolve in our locker room after last night,” said Pottinger. “It was a bit of an embarrassment ... We came back tonight to prove some-

thing to ourselves in that we can play our style of basketball when the chips are down. That was huge for this young group of guys trying to come together.” Bankazo was named the Kings player of the game, finishing with 16 points, 15 rebounds and three assists to go with his solid defence. Jacob Cusumano and Marcelus Clay added 14 points each and JP Leblanc 13. Philips Jalalpoor led the Broncos with 20 points, nine rebounds and four assists. Giovanni Shettler had 11 points and 14 boards.

Raonic falls to Federer at ATP Finals BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON — Milos Raonic says it was the quality of his opponent that contributed to his opening loss at the ATP Finals, and not the nerves from making his debut at the prestigious year-ending tournament. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., could not duplicate his upset win of just over a week ago against Roger Federer as he lost his opening match to the Swiss star 6-1, 7-6 (0). Raonic denied that he might have been spooked by the unrelenting and overwhelming crowd support for his iconic Swiss opponent and the pressure of the big moment. He said he was simply outplayed by the man he beat nine days ago in a Paris quarter-final, his first win over Federer in seven meetings. “It’s obviously disappointing, very disappointing actually, the way I finished that second set off,” said Raonic, who plays Tuesday against Andy Murray. “It took me more a set to find my way into the match because of playing Roger, not because of being here for the first time. “Every time you play Roger, the crowd’s on his side, even if he’s playing a local favourite. It’s hard for people to cheer against Roger.” Earlier, Japan’s Kei Nishikori beat home favourite Murray 6-4, 6-4, and in doubles action Toronto’s Daniel Nestor and partner Nenad Zimonjic lost their first match 6-3, 7-5 to Croatia’s Ivan Dodig and Brazil’s Marcelo Melo. Raonic went down to Federer, a sixtime year-end champion, in just under 90 minutes. Federer dominated the first set, then had to fight off Raonic as he saved a set point in the second set before wrapping up the win with a love tiebreak. Raonic, who finished with 10 aces, took his total for 2014 past the 1,100 mark. Raonic remains one victory short of his 50th win of the season. He ended with 20 winners, 17 unforced errors and went 0-4 on break

point chances. “There is always the difficulty of a different atmosphere, different everything in the first round,” said Raonic, who served as a London alternate in 2013 but never got onto court. “You have to play against one of the best players of all time in that situation. That was the biggest difference, trying to demand a high level right from the get-go. “But other than that, it really didn’t feel too different than other situations I’ve been in.” Raonic said it was a different Federer on Sunday than the one he upset in Paris. “He was a lot more consistent on his return games,” Raonic said. “In Paris, I’d get free points when I hit aces, but today, when he got his racquet on the ball, he would make me play all the time. “I believe he played better today. I believe I started off not playing nearly as well, but I think I sort of found that Paris level in the second set. That’s why I was able to create some opportunities for myself.” Meanwhile, Murray is now facing an uphill task to reach the elite tournament’s semifinals. The fourth-seeded Nishikori — the first Asian player to qualify for the year-end championship — was in complete control and secured important points in a tough Group B that also includes Federer and Raonic. After the round-robin stage, the top two finishers in each group advance to the semifinals of the indoor tournament at the O2. “Obviously now I need to win my next two matches more than likely, and win them well if I want to go through,” said Murray, who missed last year’s tournament after undergoing surgery on his back. “That’s going to be tricky because Milos obviously played fantastic last week in Paris, and Roger always plays well at this event. So I’m definitely going to have to play better if I want to get through.” Murray, who had never lost a set to Nishikori in their three previous

Canada’s Taylor rallies for first PGA Tour win BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSON, Miss. — Nick Taylor overcame a four-shot deficit to win the Sanderson Farms Championship, shooting a 6-under 66 on Sunday for a two-stroke victory over Boo Weekley and Jason Bohn. The 26-year-old Taylor, the first Canadian-born winner on the PGA Tour since Mike Weir in 2007, played the front nine in 4 under to pull even with the leaders and took control with birdies on Nos. 13, 14 and 15. A former University of Washington player from Abbotsford, B.C., Taylor three-putted for bogey on No. 18 after taking a three-shot lead into the final

But the former Wimbledon champion never looked capable of turning the

match around. He dismissed the idea that fatigue finally took its toll on him. “I felt OK on the court today,” he said. “I don’t think that was the reason why I lost the match.”

hole. He finished at 16-under 272 at the Country Club of Jackson and earned US$720,000. Weekley also had a 66, and Bohn shot 69. John Rollins had a two-shot lead coming into Sunday, but faded with a 73 to tie for fourth. Taylor started the day among a clump of contenders, but quickly moved to the forefront with three birdies on the first five holes. He was terrific on the greens throughout the final round, making four birdie putts from at least 15 feet. Even though it was just his 13th PGA Tour start — and seventh as a professional — he handled the final holes with little drama.

MUNICH, Germany — Canada finished its run at the Deutschland Cup hockey tournament on a winning note Sunday with a 4-2 victory over host Germany. Steve Reinprecht, Kevin Clark and Bud Holloway each had a goal and an assist for Canada, while Brandon Buck also scored. Denis Reul and Patrick Hager had first-period goals for Germany. Chris Mason made 25 saves for Canada. German goaltenders Dennis Endras and Timo Pielmeier combined for

23 saves. Canada finished 1-2 at the four-team tournament after opening with losses to Slovakia and Switzerland. It looked like Canada might go winless at the tournament after Reul and Hager scored to give Germany a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. Canada came back with second-period goals from Clark and Holloway, then Reinprecht scored the winner at 13:51 of the third period. Buck’s goal with less than one minute left cemented the win.

Canada tops U.S. in Four Nations Cup final shootout Canada 3 United States 2 SO KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Canada’s Brianne Jenner is making a habit of scoring big goals against the United States. Nine months after kickstarting her country’s memorable comeback victory in the gold-medal game at the Sochi Olympics, Jenner had the only goal of the shootout Saturday as Canada defeated the U.S. 3-2 in the final of the Four Nations Cup women’s hockey tournament. After an exciting 4-on-4 overtime that included power plays and plenty of chances for both teams, Jenner roofed a backhand in the second round of the shootout before Genevieve Lacasse sealed it with saves on Brianna Decker and Hilary Knight. “It’s always extremely intense,” said Jenner. “We take every game against them really seriously. They’re our rivals and we don’t want to drop a game to them. To see it go to shootout doesn’t surprise me.” The game marked the first final between the two squads since Canada’s dramatic 3-2 come-from-behind overtime victory at the Games in February, and came on the heels of another 3-2 win in round-robin play on Wednesday. “I guess it’s becoming a typical Canada-U.S. game in women’s hockey — just a real exciting game,” said Canadian head coach Doug Derraugh. “A real tough, hard-fought game. Back and forth, both teams had great chances. What more can you ask for? “The players were phenomenal. It was a real energetic, passionate group.” Jennifer Wakefield scored twice in regulation for Canada, while Lacasse stopped 33 shots through 80 minutes of

action. Knight and Decker replied for the U.S., which got 26 saves from Molly Schaus. “What a hell of a game. What an awesome thing for women’s hockey,” said U.S. head coach Ken Klee. “It was a fantastic hockey game. Both teams played well, both teams had chances, both teams moved. It was just an awesome hockey game. “There’s some disappointment. Losing’s no fun and we’re not satisfied with it but we played our hearts out. At the end if you play your hearts out you have nothing to hang your head about.” Canada has now won the Four Nations Cup a total of 14 times — including last year’s event in Lake Placid, N.Y. — while the U.S. owns the other five titles. “I’m really proud of the group and what we accomplished here. This was our goal,” said Canadian captain Haley Irwin. “We got better each game and I think there’s a lot we can take from this. “It’s a bounce here, a bounce there and you just have to make sure you’re leaving everything out there.” The two giants of the women’s game brought vastly different rosters to Kamloops than the ones that took to the ice in Russia for the Olympics as both programs look to develop younger players with an eye towards the 2015 women’s world hockey championship and beyond. Hayley Wickenheiser, Jayna Hefford, Caroline Ouellette and Gillian Apps were among the veterans that didn’t take part in the tournament for the Canadians, while 11 Olympians stayed home for the American team. But the new faces didn’t lessen the importance or intensity of the final at the sold out Interior Savings Centre. Tied 2-2 after two periods,

Saturday. the U.S. came close to taking the lead three minutes into the third when captain Alex Carpenter fired a shot off the post behind Lacasse that stayed out. Canada looked to have grabbed a 3-2 edge of its own at 9:07 when Natalie Spooner buried a rebound, but the play had already been whistled dead on a delayed penalty. Canada’s Bailey Bram then had other great chance with under two minutes to go off a

will see every player’s cards at the start of the hand. In past years, ESPN would only reveal everyone’s cards after the hand was completed. It’s also the first time a Brazilian has made it to the tournament’s final round. Bruno Politano, 32, has received characteristically enthusiastic support from his native country, Palansky said. The player starts with the lowest chip count, though. “He’s got the toughest climb ahead of him,” Palansky said. Billy Pappaconstantinou is easily the first foosball champion to make it to the final table after entering the World Series of Poker for the first time. Now he’s eight opponents away from $10 million, the only amateur at a table of pros. Sitting a few seats away from Pappaconstantinou will be 29-year-old Mark Newhouse, the only player who has experienced the final table before and, to add to the distinction, did so in back-to-back years — a feat unheard of since 2004. He was the first player knocked out last year. Norwegian Felix Stephensen, 24, got to the tournament after making an unlikely — and lucky — bet, putting down $1,000 at 60-to-1 odds that Netherlands would beat Australia 3-2 in a World Cup match. After becoming $60,000 richer, he and a friend who joined the bet left London for Las Vegas to enter the World Series. The nine final players will compete to be one of two or three players vying for the top prize Tuesday evening.

LAS VEGAS — This year’s World Series of Poker final table is a young man’s game. When nine players take their seats around a studio-lit poker table at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas starting Monday night to vie for a $10 million top prize playing Texas Hold ’em, they will be among the tournament’s youngest and greenest in recent history, with none having won a title before. One is a foosball champion who had never competed in the World Series of Poker. Another gets a second chance in a rare back-to-back appearance after an early knockout last year. The rest of the table is made up of poker players from all over the world — none older than 32. The average age is 28, not as young as in 2010 but even that year, the oldest player was 37. Not a one of them has a gold bracelet, the signature award for the top winner in any of the individual World Series of Poker events.

scramble in front as her shot from the side of the net slid through Schaus and just wide of the opposite post. The hosts then had another opportunity when Irwin was hauled down by Megan Bozek with 25 seconds left in regulation, but they were unable to capitalize in the dying seconds of regulation or early in the extra period. Down 1-0 after the first, the Americans tied the game just 50 seconds into the second

when Decker moved down the right side and fired a shot that snuck inside Lacasse’s post for her second goal of the tournament. “Every time we play the Canadians it’s going to be a onegoal differential,” said Decker. “It didn’t go in our favour tonight (but) we’re learning from it. “Coach just said there’s no such thing as moral victories, but it’s a learning experience.”

Saint Preux stuns Shogun in first round at UFC Fight Night in Brazil THE CANADIAN PRESS UBERLANDIA, Brazil — Ovince Saint Preux earned the most impressive win of his career to date, needing just 34 seconds to dispose of Brazilian MMA legend Mauricio “Shogun” Rua on Saturday night in the main event of UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Saint Preux. Rua came out quickly to start the fight, landing a few chopping leg kicks in the early going. But as Saint Preux (17-6) began to push forward, he landed a short left hook to the chin that landed on the button and sent Rua (2210) crashing to the floor. Saint Preux quickly followed, jumping on top and punching away. “He came in a little aggressive and threw a lot of looping punches, and when he did that, I stepped back and caught him clean on the chin,” Saint Preux said. Referee Mario Yamasaki gave Rua ample time to recover, but he was trapped on the floor, and the bout was waved off just 34 seconds after it began, with Saint Preux the winner by TKO. “I was really well-trained, and I always feel obligated to do my best,” Rua said. “Fights in this division are like this, and he got the win. Now it’s time to come back home and stay with my fam-

ily.” In the night’s co-feature, “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3” winner Warlley Alves (8-0) kept his professional record unblemished, but it came as a result of a controversial decision win over Alan Jouban (10-3). While Alves came out in his trademarked aggressive style, Jouban survived the early flurries to battle back and impose his own will over the final two rounds. Jouban flashed impressive combinations as he moved forward, while a tiring Alves settled for single shots, hoping to land a knockout blow. At the close of the fight, an exhausted Alves struggled to remain on his feet to hear the judges’ decision, yet he was awarded the fight 29-28, with all three officials giving him the first two rounds. “I want to apologize for not performing the way I would like to, but I’m not ashamed of it,” Alves said after the win. “Next time I will give a show. Alan is a tough opponent and I would like to thank him for this fight.” Meanwhile, Jouban disagreed with the call. “”Obviously I don’t agree with the result,“ Jouban said. ”He got the first round, I got the second round, and I dominated in the third. He couldn’t even stand up for the decision. I’m a little heartbroken.“

Harvick pulls off must-win in Phoenix ADVANCES TO FINAL ROUND OF NASCAR PLAYOFFS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AVONDALE, Ariz. — Kevin Harvick dominated a race he had to win to advance to the final round of NASCAR’s playoffs, while Jeff Gordon was knocked out when Ryan Newman completed a last-lap pass. Harvick led 264 laps at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday to earn an automatic spot next week in the four-man Chase field in the finale at Homestead. He has the Phoenix fall race three years in a row, also won at the track in March and has a record six victories on the mile oval. Now he takes StewartHaas Racing into the championship race next Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where the four championship contenders will all be seeking their first Sprint Cup title. Harvick came into Sunday ranked eighth in the eightdriver Chase field. “Wow, I guess that’s what it feels like to hit a walkoff in the extra innings,” Harvick said. Gordon finished second, but lost his bid for a fifth Sprint Cup championship when Newman knocked Kyle Larson into the wall on the final lap to finish 11th — and one point ahead of Gordon. Denny Hamlin, the points leader after finishing fifth, and Joey Logano also advanced. The title will be decided by finishing order among the final four at Homestead. Failing to advance with Gordon were Brad Keselowski, Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards. Logano finished third, Keselowski was fourth and Edwards 15th. Newman’s move on Larson in the final turn made

for a stunning shakeup in the points. Winless on the season, his first with Richard Childress Racing, he was aggressive with his pass of Larson to knock Gordon out of the finale. “I didn’t take him out,” Newman said. “In a day or two, he’ll understand. It’s hard to rationalize that, but I did what I had to do. I don’t like racing that way.” Gordon, a four-time winner this season and the points leader for most of the year, was denied a chance to race for his fifth title. “I’m disappointed, I thought if we came out of here second, even if it was to Kevin or Brad, I thought we’d still make it in,” Gordon said. “That’s pretty disappointing to do all of that and it just makes last week that much more disappointing. I’m going to be thinking about that one for a while.” Gordon was in position to win at Texas last week until a late caution forced the field into a restart that went bad when Keselowski tried to wedge his car into a small hole and ended up making contact with Gordon. He got a flat tire, spun and finished 29th to fall from first to fourth in the standings. Still, he doesn’t blame Newman for doing what he had to do to get into the finale. “That’s the system we have,” Gordon said. It was a devastating blow for Keselowski, who leads the series this season with six wins and won a race in each of the first two rounds of the Chase. But he fell into a hole because of a mechanical problem at Martinsville in the first event of this three-race round that he couldn’t recover from despite strong finishes at Tex-

His mettle was definitely tested, too, as his aggressive driving style angered his competitors and led to two fights in four races. He was fined $50,000 for his post-race behaviour at Charlotte last month — actions that caused Kenseth to jump him from behind in the garage — and he and Gordon were both bloodied when the drivers and the teams brawled on pit road after last week’s race at Texas. “We gave it all we had, it was a strong run, it just wasn’t enough to advance,” Keselowski said. “We did everything but win. We broke down in Martinsville and it was a huge hurdle to overcome and it was probably going to take a win. Fourth wasn’t going to

be enough, and we knew that coming in.” Hamlin, who came to Phoenix tied with Logano for the points lead, won the pole and needed only to finish 11th or better to guarantee himself a spot in the finale. But a broken valve stem caused his right rear tire to go flat under caution immediately after the first round of pit stops. Hamlin had to pit a second time, went from fourth to 35th on the restart, and sounded panicky as he struggled to regain his lost positions. “I’m trying, man, I’m trying,” he radioed. “Ten-4 buddy, you don’t have to get it all back this run,” crew chief Darian Grubb replied. He went a lap down with

236 laps remaining in the race. Logano took a hit when he was penalized for pulling out of his pit stall with the fuel can still attached to his car. He went from second to 26thon a restart with 185 laps remaining. “We’ll recover from this,” crew chief Todd Gordon said. It put him and Hamlin in the middle of the pack at the same time, and the two waged a furious battle to put themselves in position to be the driver to earn a free pass back onto the lead lap. Hamlin aggressively went three-wide on a restart to pass Logano and take the position, but Logano eventually passed him and was rewarded when the caution came out with 111 laps remaining.

Rosberg holds Bubba Watson captures HSBC off Hamilton to Champions with late theatrics win Brazilian GP BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

F1 RACING

SAO PAULO, Brazil — This time, Nico Rosberg wasn’t going to let victory slip away. A week after seeing Lewis Hamilton overtake him to win the United States Grand Prix, Rosberg fended off another strong challenge by his Mercedes teammate to secure the victory at the Brazilian GP and close in on his rival in the Formula One title race. “It was a great weekend all in all,” Rosberg said. “Just didn’t do a good enough job in the race in Austin, today I managed to do that. I learned from Austin and did better, so that’s a big step in the right direction. One race too late, (but) there’s still all to play for.” The German cut his pointsdeficit to 17 but Hamilton will keep the upper hand going into the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi, where the Briton can clinch his second title with another second-place finish. If Rosberg misses out on a podium spot, Hamilton can finish eighth or better and still lift the trophy. Hamilton has 334 points to 317 for Rosberg. The championship could not be decided at Interlagos because the race in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 23 will be worth double points. “Now I’m just hoping for (Abu Dhabi) and need to try and keep this going now,” he said. Hamilton also started behind Rosberg in Texas but outpaced him during the race. Rosberg said it took too long for him to find his rhythm at the Circuit of Americas. It wasn’t going to happen again this time. “I always needed to make sure that the gap was always such that there was no chance of him to go for the overtake, unlike Austin, and managed to do that, so that was good.” It was Rosberg’s fifth win of the season and his first since the German GP in July. Hamilton was trying to win his sixth race in a row. Felipe Massa of Williams finished third in front of his home crowd, ahead of Jenson Button of McLaren and Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull. Vettel, the winner last year in Brazil, was fifth, while Fernando Alonso of Ferrari finished sixth, ahead of teammate Kimi Raikkonen, the only front driver to use a two-stop strategy instead of a three-stop one. It was the 11th 1-2 finish for Mercedes, one more than the previous record set by McLaren in 1988. The team’s 15th vic-

tory of the season also allowed it to match the record held by McLaren and Ferrari. “We used to be always hunting and now we’re the hunted, and that’s a big change,” Rosberg said. “It’s great to see how the team has adapted and not slackened off, because that is always difficult, when you get to the front to then stay there. It seems that we’re really going strong and that’s fantastic.” Hamilton was quickly making up ground to Rosberg near the mid-point of the race but his chances of getting close enough to attempt a pass were hurt when he went off the track and nearly spun at the end of the back straight — a mistake that put him more than seven seconds behind Rosberg. “I was much quicker at the point,” Hamilton said. “I locked the rears and it just spun me around. No one’s fault but mine.” Hamilton kept charging and got within a second in the final laps but was never able to make a move on Rosberg, who crossed the line 1.4 seconds in front. “In the first stint I could see that I could control the gap and could just make sure that Lewis didn’t come into the region where he could launch an attack,” Rosberg said. “Once I saw that, I was very confident that I could keep controlling the gap for the whole race.” Massa, who started third and ran close to Mercedes all weekend, almost threw away his chance to finish on the podium at home after a fivesecond stop-and-go penalty for speeding on the pit lane during his first pit stop. He also lost some time by entering the wrong pit stall in his final stop. “I’m happy with the race, not happy with my mistakes,” he said. “I thought I could lose the podium.” There were huge cheers from the crowd as Massa crossed the finish line in third place. The fans loudly chanted his name at the podium ceremony. “It’s really exciting to be here after everything that happened to me in this race,” the Brazilian said. “This crowd really deserved it. The whole energy that I had this weekend, it’s difficult to explain.” There were only 18 cars on the grid for the second race in a row.

SHANGHAI, China — Even in the midst of a meltdown, Bubba Watson never lost hope Sunday in the HSBC Champions. He stood on the 16th tee with a two-shot lead. He trudged off the 17th green facing a one-shot deficit behind five players suddenly tied for the lead. And right when it looked as though Watson had blown it, he delivered a finish that not even the creator of “Bubba golf” could have imagined. From some 60 yards away in a bunker left of the green on the par-5 18th hole, Watson blasted out of the sand and watched his ball roll 25 feet before it dropped for eagle. Watson was so stunned that his eyes widened and he screamed. He didn’t know what else to do. Moments later, he rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th in a playoff to beat Tim Clark and capture his first World Golf Championship. “You never know what he’s going to do,” said Rickie Fowler, who watched it all unfold at Sheshan International. Watson closed with a 2-under 70, a score that doesn’t even begin to describe his wild ride — an eagle, birdie, par, bogey and double bogey filled his scorecard over the last five holes. The two-time Masters champion looked like a lost cause when he stood in the bunker on the 18th in regulation, waiting his turn to play. That’s when he turned to his caddie and told him, “It’s been a miserable couple holes here, but this will change everything if it goes in.” Talk about a Shanghai surprise. “You always joke about holing it,” Watson said. “And then it actually went in. I didn’t know how to react and so I just kind of screamed, and I lost my voice a little bit. It was one of those shots, a one-in-alifetime kind of shot. And so it was pretty neat.” The 10th edition of the HSBC Champions was the most memorable one yet. Clark made a 5-foot birdie on the final hole for a 69 to join Watson at 11-under 277. Fowler’s hopes of joining them ended when he tried to hit a 5-wood from 228 yards over the water to a back pin position. The ball didn’t make it over the front bank and rolled back into the water. He scrambled for a par and a 70. All three players in the final group had a chance at birdie to join the playoff. Graeme McDowell, who led

Watson captured his first World Golf Championship. after each of the three rounds, missed a 12-foot putt and shot 73. Hiroshi Iwata of Japan, the mystery guest on a world-class leaderboard, narrowly missed from 8 feet. U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer hit a wedge that bounded off the green and into the water, leading to double bogey and a 73. In the playoff, Clark had a 25-foot birdie putt that stopped a few inches short. “I knew I needed to birdie that playoff, especially with him being able to reach,” Clark said. “I’m pleased overall. Obviously, disappointed to be that close.” Watson wound up in the same bunker in the playoff, and while he blasted out 20 feet short, the birdie putt was on the same line as the bunker shot he holed in regulation. He knew the speed and the break. The only difference was when he holed the winning putt, he didn’t have a voice to scream. He bent his knees and repeatedly pumped both arms. Watson became the 14th player to win a major and a World Golf Championship. Watson moved to No. 3 in the world, making him the highest-ranked American, and it was his seventh career win. Sweeter yet, he picked up a trophy far away from home. “Being able to win outside

the U.S., I just want to be able to travel and get through the jet lag, get through all the things and still perform at a high level,” Watson said. “So for me to win out here, this is very big. This is very special for me.” That the other five players even had a chance was a bonus. Watson was 89 yards away from the 16th green when he hit a lob wedge heavy and missed the green, such a bad spot that he did well to keep his chip on the green about 20 feet away. He two-putted for bogey. Then, he found a bunker left of the green on the par-3 17th and couldn’t negotiate the soft sand. Using a 56-degree wedge, he left the first shot in the sand. His next one went off the green and onto the fringe, and he twoputted for double bogey. When the final group behind him walked onto the 16th green, they were so stunned to see a five-way tie for the lead, they asked to make sure it was accurate. “That’s why I went for the green on 16,” Kaymer said. “I thought if I can make 3 there, I can square with Bubba. And I saw that he made double bogey on 17, so all of a sudden, there were five guys in the lead.”

Lessons learned from NKorea prison ONE OF LAST TWO AMERICANS FREED AFTER TWO-YEAR IMPRISONMENT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — Kenneth Bae arrived home after two years of imprisonment in North Korea, expressing his gratitude to the U.S. government for securing his release and revealing that his time there offered lessons. And his sister said that he had one stipulation for his first meal back home: No Korean food. “He said, ’I don’t want Korean food, that’s all I’ve been eating for the last two years,”’ Terri Chung said Sunday outside her Seattle church. “We had a late night eating pizza.” Bae and Matthew Miller, another American who had been held captive in North Korea, landed Saturday night at a Washington state military base after a top U.S. intelligence official secured their release. “It’s been an amazing two years, I learned a lot, I grew a lot, I lost a lot of weight,” Bae, a Korean-American missionary with health problems, said at Joint Base-Lewis-McChord Saturday night. Asked how he was feeling, he said, “I’m recovering at this time.” Bae, surrounded by family members, spoke briefly to the media after the plane carrying him and Miller landed. He thanked President Barack Obama and the people who supported him and his family. He also thanked the North Korean government for releasing him. “I just want to say thank you all for supporting me and standing by me,” Bae said. His family has said he suffers from diabetes, an enlarged heart, liver problems and back pain.

Chung said Bae was in better shape when he arrived than his family expected. She said he had spent about six weeks in a North Korean hospital before he returned. “That helped. As you know, he had gone back and forth between the labour camp and hospital,” she said. She said he was checked out by a doctor on the flight back to the United States. His plans for the near future include rest and food and reconnecting with friends and family. Neither his wife nor his children could make it back to Seattle in time for Bae’s homecoming, his sister said. They plan to gather the whole family together for the Thanksgiving holiday in late November, she said. Members of Bae’s family, who live near the sprawling military base south of Seattle, had met him when he landed. His mother hugged him after he got off the plane. Miller stepped off the U.S. government aircraft a short time later and also was greeted with hugs. U.S. officials said Miller of Bakersfield, California, and Bae of Lynnwood, Washington state, flew back with James Clapper, the director of national intelligence. Clapper was the highestranking American to visit Pyongyang in more than a decade. Their release was the latest twist in the fitful relationship between the Obama administration and the young North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, whose approach to the U.S. has shifted back and forth from defiance to occasional conciliation. A senior Obama administration official said the president approved the

Clapper spent roughly a day on the ground and met with North Korean security officials — but not with Kim, the official said aboard Air Force One as Obama prepared to head to Beijing. Clapper went with the sole purpose of bringing home the two detainees, although the U.S. anticipated that other issues of concern to the North would come up during Clapper’s discussions,

the official said. “It was not to pursue any other diplomatic opening,” said the official, who wasn’t authorized to comment by name and demanded anonymity. The U.S. had considered sending someone from outside the government to retrieve the detainees, the official said, but suggested Clapper after the North Koreans indicated in recent weeks that they would release the detainees if the U.S. sent a high-level official from Obama’s administration.

Iraqi officials say airstrike wounds Islamic State leader

47840J14-L4

BAGHDAD — Iraqi officials said Sunday that the head of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was wounded in an airstrike in western Anbar province. Pentagon officials said they had no immediate information on such an attack or on the militant leader being injured. Iraq’s Defence and Interior ministries both issued statements saying alBaghdadi had been wounded, without elaborating, and the news was broadcast on state-run television Sunday night. The reports came at a time when President Barack Obama said the U.S.led coalition was in a position to start going on the offensive against the Islamic State militants. Al-Baghdadi, believed to be in his early 40s, has a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head. Since taking the reins of

the group in 2010, he has transformed it from a local branch of al-Qaida into an independent transnational military force. He has positioned himself as perhaps the pre-eminent figure in the global jihadi community. His forces have seized large parts of Syria and Iraq, killed thousands of people, beheaded Westerners and drawn the U.S. troops and warplanes back into the region, where Washington is leading a campaign of airstrikes by a multinational coalition. An Interior Ministry intelligence official told The Associated Press that al-Baghdadi was wounded by an Iraqi airstrike that came during a meeting Saturday with militants in the town of Qaim. The official, cited informants within the militant group. A senior Iraqi military official also said he learned in operational meetings that al-Baghdadi had been wounded. The operation was carried out by

Iraqi security forces, both officials said, although they did not know how seriously al-Baghdadi was hurt. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss confidential material. A statement posted Sunday on the official Facebook page of Defence Minister Khalid Obeidi also said al-Baghdadi was wounded, but added that he was targeted in the northern city of Mosul, currently the group’s biggest stronghold in Iraq. A senior U.S. defence official said Saturday that the coalition conducted a series of airstrikes targeting a gathering of Islamic State leaders near Mosul, but he could not confirm whether al-Baghdadi was part of the gathering. Reports circulated Saturday that al-Baghdadi may have been wounded in an airstrike, but there was no confirmation at that time from either U.S. or

Iraqi officials. The U.S. Central Command said Friday it conducted two airstrikes near Qaim that destroyed a militant armoured vehicle and two checkpoints of the militant group, which is also known by the acronyms ISIL and ISIS. On Nov. 1, the U.S. military conducted four strikes in the town. When asked about the Iraqi reports, Air Force Col. Patrick Ryder, spokesman for U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida, said Sunday: “We have no information to corroborate reports that ISIL leader al-Baghdadi has been injured.” Rami Abdurrahman, director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said some Islamic State militants wounded in the airstrike near Qaim were taken across the frontier to the Syrian border town of Boukamal.
