Six police officers ‘a good start’

CLAIMING THEIR PILE

RCMP SUPT. ANNOUNCES JOINT TASK FORCE IN CENTRAL ALBERTA BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Six new police recruits are heading to Red Deer. City council unanimously voted to bring six new RCMP officers and three support staff on board during Monday’s operating debate. RCMP Supt. Scott Tod said ROSS STREET PATIO the funding ap- FUNDED A2 proval shows the city’s commitment to public safety and the importance of policing in the community and keeping the detachment strong. “I think it is a good start,” said Tod, who was in council chambers to answer questions from council. “Given the realities of the cost of policing. It’s a very expensive business. I am very mindful of the pressure it puts on any municipality. I think it is a good start.” Currently there are 147 police officers working in Red Deer. Council heard that Red Deer RCMP officers handle 130 criminal code cases per officer compared to the provincial average of 90 cases per officer. Tod told council that there is obviously a need for officers but there is also the reality of staffing the positions which is a challenge that most police departments are facing. But the boost in policing wasn’t the only good news on the crime-fighting front. Tod announced a new joint police task force in Central Alberta. Tod did not give away too many details about the new team made up of officers from communities such as Blackfalds, Innisfail and Sylvan Lake. “We will be quite strategic,” said Tod. “I don’t want to say too much other than the main focus will be property crime.” Tod said ALERT, housed out of Red Deer’s downtown detachment, will no doubt have a role to play with the new team. “Property crime is driving our crime index,” said Tod. “That’s one of the biggest contribution. Not to take too much credit but it was a pretty easy observation.”

He said Red Deer has targeted prolific offenders which ends up pushing them out to neighbouring communities. “The problem is they move to those neighbouring communities to get away from our police presence,” said Tod. “But they come back to Red Deer to do business ... We need to look at a regional enforcement perspective because we are all dealing with the same people and chasing the same bad guys.” Tod said they will be targeting these crooks and “putting them out of business.” The policing budget is roughly $32.1 million out of the city’s proposed $329-million budget. The city will spend $559,650 bill to cover six new police officers and three municipal support staff. The city is also on the hook for $132,150 to cover the provincial shortfall in grant funding. The province funds three police officers on an annual basis but it has not kept pace with increased policing costs. Coun. Ken Johnston said the city is paying for police services and strategies that not only benefit Central Alberta region but the two major cities in the province. Johnston said he is very encouraged about the task force and the regional perspective. “But the reality comes back to municipal budgets cannot to be sustained at this level and at this need for policing without provincial support,” said Johnston. Red Deer’s operating budget deliberations continue today. The proposed budget calls for a 4.31 per cent property tax hike on the municipal side. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

As Ron Wilkin plants the flag atop the pile of snow, Brian Hamelock and Ernie Melnyk add some snow to the heap in Dowd Close on Monday. The residents of the close in Red Deer have decided to have some fun with the pile of snow the city loads into the middle of the close by erecting a flag and challenging other Red Deer residents living in other closes to get into the spirit of winter and claim their pile of snow and have some fun with it this winter. Later this spring the neighbors in Dowd Close are planning a BBQ block party around the pile.

Election Rebuilding beach would speculation cost more than $900K grows BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A disappointed Sylvan Lake town council heard on Monday that rebuilding Sylvan Lake’s beach would cost more than $900,000. On top of that, another $240,000 would have to be spent every two years to maintain a 15-metre strip of sand, said Ron Lebsack, director of community services. Mayor Sean McIntyre acknowledged the price tag made the project a nonstarter for council, but he has not given up hope. The mayor proposed a motion, which was unanimously approved by council, to lobby the provincial government to maintain and restore the beach that is part of Sylvan Lake Provincial Park. “It’s really our last avenue as far as I see it,” he said. McIntyre said the loss of the beach

Getting the public’s support was necessary to even begin the process of applying for the necessary provincial approval to dredge the lake. Dredging alone would cost about $720,000 based on the estimated need to move 24,000 cubic metres of sand to

restore an 800-metre long beach. Given the cost, staff recommended the town abandon the project. Coun. Jas Payne expressed frustration that there seems to be no way to convince the province to fix a problem that was mostly created by its decision to build a sea wall in the mid-1970s. The building of the wall has caused wave action to push the sand back into the lake. High lake levels have further exacerbated the problem. But even lake levels returned to previous levels, the beach would not return, pointed out McIntyre. Photos of the beach in 1988 show the sand was only 30 to 45 centimetres below the sea wall. Now, the sand is as much as 1.2 metres below the top of the wall. Coun. Plante shared the skepticism of several councillors that lobbying will budge the province’s reluctance to do anything to fix the beach.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta’s Progressive Conservatives are ramping up their candidate selection process, fuelling speculation that a spring election is on the way. PC party executive director Kelley Charlebois said Monday that on the weekend the party struck a committee to oversee nominations and plans to have 35 nominated candidates in place by Feb. 21. “(We’re) setting us up for kind of a Super Saturday scenario (on that date),” Charlebois said. “We’ll get some energy, excitement and media attention out of that date.” He said more nomination dates are expected to be approved next weekend, with others to follow.

PILE DRIVING

2015 OPERATING BUDGET

Ross Street Patio added to base budget BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF The award-winning Ross Street Patio has been inked firmly into the city’s base budget. For the first time, the downtown initiative will receive ongoing funding of $80,000. The money will be used to install and take down the patio ($60,000) and for some limited programming ($20,000). The city had paid $45,000 for programming at the patio for the last three years. City manager Craig Curtis said this will open up the doors to sponsorship opportunities for programming. Curtis said it can be challenging to obtain sponsorships for a one-year project. Still Coun. Frank Wong unsuccessfully tried to keep the item in the one-time funding column. Wong said the patio is a controversial issue and by keeping it as a one-time item council could debate it every year. As well, he suggested the Downtown Business Association may want to take over the patio. Council reasoned that the October report on the patio clearly indicated that residents were in strong support of the summer patio. Residents were divided on keeping the patio up in the winter months. This was not part of the debate on Monday but will no doubt be discussed again this year. Coun. Ken Johnston argued that the patio has proven itself in the summer. He said the bigger issue for groups is to plan events and attractions when there is a shadow of doubt that the patio will not return. Johnston unsuccessfully argued to restore $25,000 to help with programming on an ongoing basis. He argued the city has made great investment in the downtown over the last five years and should continue to pay into it. Council sided administration’s recommendation of $20,000 in the end. The patio has been in Red Deer since 2012. The patio received an award for its creative use of public space from the International Downtown Association in the same year. Coun. Paul Harris excused himself from the debate because the item was discussed as permanent funding as opposed to a pilot project. Harris, a downtown business owner, said there may be greater perception of conflict of interest in the community if he debated the issue.

ELECTION: Candidates in place by mid-March A source told The Canadian Press the plan is to have all candidates in place by mid-March. Charlebois said he has not been given a hard deadline date for all nominations but said, “we’re moving on nominations in a very intentional way.” There were other signs of Tories ramping up their election readiness. PC party president Terri Beaupre, in an open letter on the party’s web page, announced that all 2014 memberships would be renewed for free in 2015 and “will also be considered valid for the purpose of signing candidate nomination papers.” A nominated candidate needs 25 signatures from party members in his or her constituency. Beaupre also announced that any Wildrose members who want to join the Tories can simply hand in their party card for a free Tory one. “We are happy to welcome them to our party,” wrote Beaupre. By law, Alberta is to hold an election sometime in a three-month window in the spring of 2016, but Premier Jim Prentice hasn’t ruled out taking voters to the polls a year early. The law also gives the lieutenant-governor the

Red Deer Piling employees are hard at work in on the grounds of the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre pounding away on the piles being driven into the ground on the site of the parkade under construction. The five-storey project, being built by Graham Construction, will cost $44 million. Construction is expected to cause some difficulties with traffic around the facility and visitors to the hospital are advised to use public parking lots rather than on street parking, if possible. For the duration of the project, more public parking has been made available in the lot south of the hospital, along 39 Street.

Sylvan Lake multiplex moving forward BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Sylvan Lake town council unanimously approved on Monday a design development report for the $30.6-million NexSource Centre. That allows the architects to create the contract documents ahead of tendering the project, which is expected to happen in a few weeks. The centre is to include an arena, curling rink, seniors centre, children’s play area and other civic spaces. flexibility for a writ drop at any time. Prentice has said he is focused for now on Alberta’s budget, which faces a $500-million deficit this year due to collapsing oil prices. Wildrose party president Jeff Callaway said his party will be ready with a full slate of candidates regardless of the date, but said Prentice should stick to his PC leadership campaign promise to respect Alberta’s election law. “It’s tremendously unfortunate that a premier who promises to do things a new way is actually doing more of the same old same old — breaking his own law when he finds it at its most advantageous,” said Callaway. Callaway’s party has been working to rebuild after nine Wildrose caucus members, including former leader Danielle Smith, bolted across the floor to join Prentice just before Christmas. The Wildrose leadership race has yet to begin. Callaway said if there’s an early election, interim leader Heather Forsyth will carry the party’s banner. The party had 19 candidates nominated as of last week. The Tories have 72 members in the 87-seat legislature compared with five for the Wildrose, five for the Liberals and four for the NDP. There is one Independent. NDP Leader Rachel Notley said going to the polls three years after the last vote would needlessly break the spirit of the election law. “Jim Prentice’s panicked proclamations about the dire state of our economy are nothing more than him

Five more nomination meetings are on the way with more to be scheduled. The Liberals begin their nomination process next month. They are already down two incumbents: Darshan Kang and Kent Hehr, both from Calgary, are running for the federal Liberals. Lethbridge-East Tory backbencher Bridget Pastoor announced Monday she will not run in the next election.

In anticipation of future needs, the building has been designed so a second floor can be added in the future, council heard. Council was also considering on Monday a bylaw to borrow $13 million towards the project. Another $6.4 million will come from town reserve funds, $2 million from taxes, and the rest will be covered by fundraising, sponsorships, contributions from neighbouring communities and government grants. The facility is badly needed in the fast-growing community.

Spy versus spy MILITARY DEPLOYS COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE TEAM DURING ARCTIC EXERCISE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Canadian military has been routinely deploying a counter-intelligence team to guard against possible spying, terrorism and sabotage during its annual Arctic exercise, according to internal documents. In the view of intelligence experts, the move is unusual because Operation Nanook is conducted on

Canadian soil in remote locations of the Far North. Foreign involvement is limited to friendly, close allies. It is also curious because guarding against such threats at home is usually the purview of either the Canadian Security Intelligence Service or the RCMP, said Wesley Wark, a University of Ottawa professor and one the country’s leading experts on intelligence. A spokesman for the military’s intelligence

branch says the team has been deployed every year since 2008, which is two years after Prime Minister Stephen Harper began attending the military exercise with members of the Parliamentary Press Gallery in tow. The only regular foreign media presence on those trips has involved the Chinese, including the country’s official news service and — in 2013 — a representative of a major daily, both of whom are accredited members of the gallery in Ottawa.

The centre provide services to many Red Deer organizations including Whisker Rescue and the SPCA. ● A phone service connecting residents to social services in Central Alberta was given the green light. Council voted to support the United Way’s Central Alberta 211 Service for three years. Council agreed to allocate $67,500 in 2015; another $69,525 in 2016 and $71,610 in 2017. The funding will be reviewed after three years. The city hopes that the province will kick in funding in the long run. See www.caunitedway.ca for more information. ● Animal control officers will now work weekends. The office/shelter hours will also be expanded on Saturdays. Council heard that 60 per cent of the calls come in between Friday night through Sunday. The estimated start date is March 1. The ongoing funding is $75,000 in 2015 and $18,000 in 2016. The contract is coming up for negotiations in 2016. ● Coun. Dianne Wyntjes successfully argued to split the recommended $900,000 revenue shortfall in fine revenue shortfall over two years. Administration had recommended absorbing the shortfall in one fell swoop in this year’s operating budget. Instead council will now pay for it over two years. Funding from a third photo radar van calculated this year may impact the final numbers. The change will see $540,000 covered in 2015 and possibly $360,000 in 2016. ● An update on the progress and steps to be taken on the development of the corporate security policy will come back to city in the coming months.

Money raised will go to the Nathan O’Brien Children’s Foundation and be channelled to a number of charities. Rod O’Brien says he hopes the game will become an annual event. Nathan and his grandparents, Kathy and Alvin Liknes (LIHK’-ness), disappeared from the grandparents’ home in Calgary last July.

Their bodies have never been found and murder charges have previously been laid in their disappearance. O’Brien says some friends came up with the idea of the game to honour Nathan. “At that time it was a small charity hockey game. But in the last four weeks it’s been exploding with people signing on to help and just create a once in a lifetime event.”

EDMONTON — An international animal rights group has named Edmonton’s Valley Zoo to a “Hall of Shame” for not moving its lone elephant named Lucy to a warmer climate. Toni Frohoff with In Defense of Animals says the designation is reserved for zoos that refuse to make changes within a reasonable time that would benefit their elephants. Various animal rights groups have been after the Edmonton zoo for years to move Lucy. They say Edmonton’s winter is too harsh for the elephant. The zoo says Lucy has been examined by a veterinarian and deemed too sick to travel because of respiratory troubles. Frohoff says the Valley Zoo has been on her California-based group’s annual Top 10 list of worst zoos four times. It was second last year, but escaped the list this year, although Frohoff says the “Hall of Shame” status is even worse. “Unfortunately the Edmonton Valley Zoo has earned that dishonourable distinction. They have the opportunity to be heroes, but instead they are choosing to be villains by allowing Lucy to stay,” she said. “Other elephant experts, some of them extremely notable, have denounced the Edmonton Valley Zoo as creating amongst the most cruel ... environments for elephants in zoos.” In Defense of Animals is calling on city council to make a change.

Publish and be damned? EXAMINING THE REAL LESSONS OF THE CHARLIE HEBDO KILLINGS I haven’t been there often, but in this business, sooner or later you are going to offend someone. Fortunately, the consequences are most often a blow to the ego (a metaphorical punch-back in the nose) or financial (repent publicly or pay a fine). People may get angry at perceived offenGREG sives, but they NEIMAN don’t storm the newsroom with assault rifles. Just the same, the doorway to the newsroom where I contribute is numeric-coded. Can’t be too careful. Like the editors of all Canada’s newspapers, I’ve been mulling the question of whether we should all just publish the cartoons of Muhammed that led to fundamentalist cowards murdering staff at French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. My first reaction was that, well, we’ll show them. If everyone in the publish-

INSIGHT

ing business was in solidarity with the publication, that “We Are Charlie,” we should blast those cartoons all over the world. But what, exactly, would we be proving? That we are all capable of gratuitous religious insult? That we will all provoke anger, just because we can? CBC News, in its public debate on the issue, proved that the network can provoke gratuitous anger, no matter what it does. Even Canadian MPs and senators managed to weigh in on both sides. Employment Minister Jason Kenney — probably with the help of the spinsters on his staff — discovered that CBC had reproduced an image of a crucifix in a jar of urine, and rightly asked why the CBC was content to gratuitously insult Christians but would not do the same for Muslims. Good question. The answer probably includes consideration of credible death threats. My question in return would be: would Kenney’s right to decide to give insult include personal responsibility for the deaths of his staff? Does that mean the terrorists have won? We’ll see. The battle rages on. Among English newspapers in Canada, only the National Post in Canada republished a cartoon depiction that

Muslims would consider blasphemous. Eleven French publications in Quebec decided that “nous sommes tous Charlie” and reprinted a Charlie Hebdo cover showing Muhammed. I’m not sure that we are all Charlie. When the publication began in 1960, its slogan was “dumb and nasty.” I hope you don’t believe that describes you. We have quite enough of that in the digital age. A wide number of newspapers are considering, or have already decided, to disable the comments capabilities of their online news feeds. Our concepts surrounding free speech did not inspire higher debate on the issues covered in our information universe. Rather, they just opened the door to “dumb and nasty.” For many major publications, monitoring the conversations in the comments section of online stories and opinion pieces simply became pointlessly onerous. It’s not a job I would want. Who would want to rule the kingdom of the trolls? The biggest troll? That has been part of my consideration in the question of whether we should reprint cartoons deemed so offensive they inspire murder. What were these cartoons anyway? I didn’t look too hard to find them (I’m sure they are widely available). But one I did see (dated from 2006) was a

depiction of a distraught Muhammed weeping. The caption in the thought balloon translates: “It’s hard to be loved by fundamentalists.” Would that I could see a depiction of Jesus doing the same. It would likely become part of the collection of wallpaper images on my computer. In Islam, to produce a graven image of the prophet is blasphemy. Some say the punishment for such an insult is death. But is it not blasphemous to put yourself in God’s place and deliver the punishment yourself? To murder people to avenge blasphemy is blasphemy itself, right? That’s what the We Are Charlie people should be saying. At that point, I’d join them. Everyone knows there’s a line between satire and insult. A good satirist dances on that line and sometimes oversteps. But don’t try to convince me that it takes a troll to defend freedom or to express any love for democracy. That these trolls can operate in this particular democracy is gratis of freedom, not the other way round. Greg Neiman is a retired Advocate editor.

Alberta tried diversification – and failed BY MARK MILKE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE With the price of oil plunging to below $50 per barrel and the outlook for Alberta’s economy and provincial budget revenues falling in tandem, an oft-heard piece of advice is being recycled: Alberta should diversify its economy. The advice is well-intentioned. But local economies, like businesses, often make money selling what’s nearby. Hawaii peddles vacations with warm weather attached. Alberta (along with Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador and northern British Columbia) sells oil and gas. The oil, gas and mining sector is the largest contributor to Alberta’s economy at 23 per cent of the province’s GDP. That is significant for employment and income. That sector also matters to the provincial budget: resource revenue provides about 24 per cent of the Alberta government’s own-source revenue. In theory, diversification would allow Albertans to be less reliant on resources. However, it is not clear how Alberta could diversify simply by everyone wishing to that end, including via government policy. For example, consider an Edmonton supplier of oilfield equipment to the oilsands. During a downturn in demand, it is no easy task for that same business to sell chopsticks to China instead of pipes, chemicals and water services to oil fields up a nearby highway. As for policy, the Alberta government tried to diversify the Alberta economy in a deliberate fashion back in the 1980s and early 1990s. Starting under then-Premier Peter Lougheed and also under his successor, Don Getty, the provincial government provided loans, loan guarantees and equity stakes to companies in the non-energy sector. In one example, the provincial government backed “made in Alberta” banks, trust companies and investment firms. After the early 1980s recession and then a mid-decade collapse in oil prices (to $10.25 a barrel in April 1986, down from $26 in December 1985) Alberta’s real estate values also plummeted. That took down many of those same provincially-guaranteed financial institutions which had themselves heavily invested in real estate. The price tag to the provincial government for that diversification effort was $1.8 billion for everything from failed loan guarantees to partially covered consumer and investor deposits. In another diversification attempt, the province also loaned, guaranteed, and took equity partnerships in everything from a forestry company to a

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Fred Gorman Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director

meatpacking plant, a provincial bitumen upgrader, a waste treatment plant and a high-tech company. By the early 1990s, defaults and foregone capital investments from all of the above cost the province $2.2 billion — in addition to the $1.8 billion financial sector collapse. These efforts didn’t help Albertans adjust to a new reality or diversify the economy. It was simply activist industrial policy, where governments pick winners and losers. The latter cropped up more regularly than the former. Diversification can be useful; high-tech, manufacturing and banking have boomed in Texas for example and thus provide more opportunities for people in that state. But economic growth and public benefits — increased employment opportunities, for example — result from getting the basics right: low business and personal tax rates, a flexible labour market, and other advantages that attract investment. Alberta, especially after the mid-1990s, has had these advantages in spades relative to other provinces.

That may explain why, even with a 20-year look, Alberta’s unemployment rate has been consistently low, particularly when compared with other major provinces. Between 1994 and 2013, Alberta’s average annual unemployment rate has been just 5.4 per cent through bust and boom and bust again — despite the highest interprovincial in-migration of any province in the same period. In contrast, the more diversified British Columbia economy has suffered an average annual unemployment rate of 7.3 per cent in those two decades, with Ontario’s at 7.4 per cent and 9 per cent in Quebec. Diversification might help smooth out government revenues in some years, but it can’t guarantee a more robust economy or lower unemployment rate. In reality, diversification may be less critical than most people think. Mark Milke is a senior fellow at the Fraser Institute. This column was supplied by Troy Media (www.troymedia.com).

Terror suspect arrested BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The RCMP swooped in on an alleged terrorist conspiracy because one of the suspects was about to get on a plane to India, The Canadian Press has learned. The Mounties have charged three young Ottawa men — including twin brothers — with various terrorism-related offences. On Monday, the RCMP charged Suliman Mohamed, 21, with participation in the activity of a terrorist group. Mohamed was also charged with conspiracy to participate in a terrorist activity with two other Ottawa men. On Friday, 24-year-old twins Ashton Carleton Larmond and Carlos Honor Larmond of Ottawa were charged with various terrorism-related offences. The RCMP says Carlos was arrested at the Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport as he was intending to travel overseas for terrorist purposes. The Mounties did not say where he was headed. The Canadian Press has since learned he was bound for India, though it is unclear if that was his

final destination. Ashton, who played pickup hockey on a men’s team, was arrested in Ottawa. Joseph Addelman, a lawyer for the brothers, said Saturday they planned to vigorously dispute the charges. They are due for a second court appearance Feb. 12. Mohamed was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning. But as of Monday very little was publicly known about what the three were alleged to have done. The arrests underscore the reality that there are individuals in Canada who have become radicalized to a violent ideology, “and who are willing to act upon it,” said Chief Supt. Jennifer Strachan, criminal operations officer for the RCMP in Ontario. The RCMP thanked Integrated National Security Enforcement Team partners from the Ottawa police service and the Ontario provincial police. The Mounties said they would not be providing additional details, given that the matter was now before the courts. The Harper government is contemplating new laws in response to the October 2014 attacks in which two soldiers — one at the National War Memorial,

the other in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. — were killed in broad daylight. It has also introduced long-promised changes to strengthen the ability of Canada’s spy service to probe terror suspects overseas. Canada and other western nations fear that citizens who go abroad to take part in the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’s guerrilla-style battles could come home with intent to do harm. The latest arrests have rekindled discussion about homegrown radicalization. Young Muslims who took part in federally sponsored forums in four Ontario cities last year came away with some useful information about recognizing signs of extremism, but they were still unsure who to contact or what to do about it, says a federal account of the sessions. Post-event surveys indicated participants found the meetings in Hamilton, St. Catharines, London and Windsor “engaging and relevant,” say the records released under the Access to Information Act. However, they had little idea of what to do “once they see signs that someone may be going down the path to violent extremism.”

B.C. mayor alleges spying at city hall SAANICH, Canada — The new mayor of the Victoria suburb of Saanich alleges his city hall computer is bugged and local police have pulled him over four times on groundless suspicions of drunk driving. Mayor Richard Atwell addressed the issues during a news conference Monday, admitting he wasn’t truthful when he originally denied being involved in an extra-marital affair. Atwell read a prepared statement but refused to answer questions. Atwell, who is married, said he rejected reports earlier this month of a dust up on Dec. 11, 2014 with a male at the home of a female campaign supporter because he wanted to protect those closest to him from harm. The Victoria Times-Colonist, citing sources it did not name, reported on its front page on Jan. 6 that police were called to the home at about 11 p.m. after receiving a 911 call. “I called 911 as a complainant looking for help, and at no time did I commit any criminal act,” said Atwell at the news conference. “But I do have concerns about the way the investigation was handled and how details of the incident became public.” He said he filed a complaint with B.C.’s police complaint commissioner’s office asking for an outside agency to review the matter. But Atwell did not stop there: he also registered formal concerns about allegations of police harassment and computer spying at municipal hall. He said he’s been pulled over by police four times since running for office and on two occasions was administered roadside breathalyzer tests of which his alcohol reading was zero. He said he was stopped twice by police during the

fall campaign, once as mayor-elect and the fourth time as mayor. Atwell said he is now asking the head of the Victoria area’s integrated road safety unit to review the police stops. Saanich Police Chief Constable Brian Downie said in a statement that he had not been informed of Atwell’s concerns about police harassment or his questions about how information about the Dec. 11, 2014 domestic incident became public. Downie said Atwell contacted police with concerns about spyware on his computer and that matter is under review. Atwell also said he sought legal advice about allegations that his city hall computer was bugged. He said his lawyers are requesting an external probe to prevent allegations of conflict of interest. “I was told the spying program called Spectre 360 was to capture information typed and accessed on my computer,

and report any usage back to a server controlled by another user or users,” said Atwell.

OTTAWA — The RCMP and many other police forces are refusing to pay new fees imposed by Rogers Communications for helping track suspects through their mobile phones. Police say the telecommunications firm is legally obligated to provide such court-ordered services and to cover the cost as part of its duty to society. Rogers says while it picks up the tab for most judicially approved requests, in some cases it will charge a minimal fee. The quietly simmering dispute underscores longstanding tensions over who should pay when police call on telephone and Internet providers to help investigate cases. It began late last May when Rogers wrote to RCMP divisions and other police services across Canada to say it would usher in new fees to law enforcement on Aug. 1 . The fees applied to help in executing warrants for tracking customers’ movements through cellphone data, and for production of affidavits certifying records in cases where testimony is required to explain the records in court. RCMP officials responsible for covert operations told their superiors in a June briefing note there was no legal basis for the planned fees and that Rogers could be charged under the Criminal Code for failing to comply with a court order if it refused to provide the services unless compensated. The note, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act, points to a 2008 Supreme Court of Canada decision in which the judges said companies would generally be expected to comply with court orders on their own dime unless costs became unreasonable. In the case at hand, the court said it was not unreasonable for Tele-Mobile Co. to pay annual costs of between $400,000 and $800,000 to comply with production orders. The RCMP note suggested that the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police be asked to issue a collective response to Rogers that “police will not be paying the fees requested.” The association’s board was briefed in late June, and early the next month the chiefs recommended to police services that they not sign “acknowledgment of fees” notices distributed by Rogers. “It is the (association’s) view that police services throughout Canada should not be required to bear the costs associated with court-ordered activities,” the recommendation said. “The demand for these services will only increase as electronic crimes committed over mobile services continues to grow.”

BRIEFS

Latimer appeals parole board decision restricting international travel The lawyer for Robert Latimer says his client is appealing a parole board decision that prevents him from travelling freely outside Canada. A Federal Court judge ruled in September that there is nothing to indicate the 60-year-old Saskatchewan farmer is a danger and should be prevented from travelling internationally. The judge ordered the Parole Board of Canada’s appeal division to reconsider the case. But in November, the board said it wouldn’t lift the restriction, ruling Latimer has yet to show that he is capable of reporting to authorities with complete transparency. Lawyer Jason Gratl says his client is being deprived of reasonable parole conditions. Latimer was given a life sentence for the 1993 second-degree murder of his 12-year-old daughter, Tracy, who had severe cerebral palsy. He put her in the cab of his truck on his family’s farm near Wilkie, Sask., and piped exhaust inside.

Three ice climbers found dead north of Whistler, B.C., near Vancouver: police

TORONTO — A Toronto-area woman who injected silicone into the buttocks of nine women has pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. Marilyn Ely Reid, 48, was arrested in November 2012 after a 28-year-old woman fell ill after receiving alleged Botox injections. Police said the woman underwent surgery to have the substance removed. Investigators at the time alleged Reid advertised buttock, lip and muscle augmentations and Botox injections on a website called pmmainjection.com. Several other victims came forward after her arrest. Her lawyer says several of the women have had “serious health issues” ever since the procedure, which his client was not licensed to perform. Calvin Barry says one of the women — none of whom can be identified due to a publication ban — is still unable to sit down. Reid pleaded guilty to eight counts of aggravated assault endangering life and is due back in court Feb. 27. Barry said the Crown is seeking a nine-to-10year sentence, but he is arguing his client should get sentenced to time served.

Police inspector in Abbotsford, B.C., to donate kidney to fellow officer ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — A police officer in British Columbia is getting far more than guidance and advice from one of his supervisors. Det. Roy McBeth of the Abbotsford Police Department is slated to receive a kidney from fellow officer Insp. Kevin Wright on Wednesday. McBeth says he was overwhelmed when Wright offered to be a donor after learning of his colleague’s challenges with a degenerative kidney disease. The 44-year-old detective was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease as a child, a condition which runs in his family. The pair have worked together since McBeth joined the Fraser Valley force in 2004. After their recovery, the two men plan on running a half-marathon relay together in Penticton, B.C., in August to raise awareness about the Living Organ Program.

Ottawa, partners to spend $7M on Arctic fisheries research IQALUIT, Nunavut — Federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq has announced funding of more than $7 million for research on new and developing fisheries in the Arctic. Just over half the money is to come from Ottawa, with the Nunavut government, Inuit groups and universities providing the rest. Some of the research will examine stocks of Arctic char, turbot and shrimp to see what level of fishing can be sustained. Other projects will consider opening new fisheries for clams or crabs. In 2013, Nunavut fishers brought in $79 million worth of turbot, shrimp and char. The money is to be spent over two years.

O’Toole taps former MacKay adviser to fill key political veterans post OTTAWA — Veterans Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole has recruited an experienced political hand as his top adviser. The Canadian Press has learned that long-time Conservative John MacDonell has been appointed as the rookie minister’s chief of staff following last week’s cabinet shuffle that saw Julian Fantino removed from the portfolio. The appointment is seen as the next step in the Harper government’s attempt to rebuild its relationship with the community of ex-soldiers. MacDonell served for six years as chief of staff to former defence minister Peter MacKay and also worked closely with retired general Walt Natynczyk, who is now the top bureaucrat at the veterans department.

Dentistry investigation should be done externally, Dalhousie senate told BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Baur also said he has lost confidence in the ability of the academic standards committee at the faculty to handle the complaints against the 13 male students. He also questioned how university president Richard Florizone would be able to receive a thorough review of facts in the case, including whether only 13 male students were involved. “I’m uncomfortable the disciplinary proceedings are happening within the faculty of dentistry and I’m upset we didn’t get to discuss more thoroughly today means by which the senate can oversee the disciplinary process,” he said after the meeting ended.

HALIFAX — Members of Dalhousie University’s senate argued Monday that the disciplinary process facing male dentistry students alleged to have posted sexually violent comments on Facebook about their female classmates should be conducted outside the faculty of dentistry. Philosophy professor Letitia Meynell, a member of the senate, presented a motion calling on the academic governing body to take over the investigation of whether the 13 men in the Facebook group violated academic and professional standards. “There’s a real question of perception in the general public and * ** whether it (the faculty investigation) will be or enough to restore confidence,” she said during TAX-FREE SAVINGS ACCOUNT 54 month RRSP/RRIF/TFSA GIC the meeting.

PEMBERTON, B.C. — Three ice climbers have been found dead near Whistler, B.C., north of Vancouver. The bodies of the two women and a man were discovered in a crevasse about 300 metres below Joffre Peak. RCMP Sgt. Rob Knapton said one woman and a man were in their mid-30s and that the other woman was an international visitor in her late 20s. They were part of a group of three climbers and two skiers on the mountain in the Pemberton area, and had set off into the backcountry on Sunday before splitting up, Knapton said. “They were supposed to rendezvous at the end of the day, and when they didn’t (arrive) the skiers went looking for them.” He said the skiers saw the body of one person who appeared to have fallen and made it out of the area to call police at about 1:30 a.m. Monday. Police and a search and rescue crew found all three bodies close to each other, and it’s possible the skiers didn’t see them all in the dark, Knapton said. “It appears they fell, but as far as why I couldn’t speculate on that.” The climbers were all experienced, Knapton said, adding anyone who ventures into the backcountry should be aware of the risks involved. Police have not yet been able to contact the families of all the climbers, whose names will be released later by the coroners’ service.

Police hunting terror cell UP TO SIX MEMBERS MAY STILL BE AT LARGE AFTER PARIS ATTACKS

FRANCE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — As many as six members of a terrorist cell involved in the Paris attacks may still be at large, including a man who was seen driving a car registered to the widow of one of the slain gunmen, police officials said Monday. Two French police officials told The Associated Press that authorities were searching the Paris area for the Mini Cooper registered to Hayat Boumeddiene, the widow of Amedy Coulibaly. She is now in Syria, according to Turkish officials. The French police officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss details of the investigation with the news media. France deployed 10,000 troops to protect sensitive sites — including Jewish schools and neighbourhoods — in the wake of the attacks that killed 17 people last week. Brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, as well as Coulibaly, their friend who claimed ties to Islamic extremists in the Middle East, died Friday in clashes with police. Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the manhunt is urgent because “the threat is still present” after the attacks that began Wednesday with 12 people killed at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. A policewoman was killed Thursday, and four people were slain at a kosher supermarket Friday before the gunmen were killed by police in two nearly simultaneous clashes with security forces around Paris. Paris’ Marais district — one of the

Security officers take position outside the kosher market where four hostages were killed and shortly before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the site, in Paris, France, Monday. country’s oldest Jewish neighbourhoods — was filled with police and soldiers by midday Monday. About 4,700 of the security forces would be assigned to protect France’s 717 Jewish schools, Interior Minister Bernard

Cazeneuve said. “A little girl was telling me earlier that she wanted to live in peace and learn in peace in her school,” Cazeneuve as on a visit to a Paris Jewish classroom, where the walls were cov-

ered with children’s drawings of smiling faces. “That’s what the government, that’s what the Republic, owes to all the children in France: security in all schools, especially in the schools that could be threatened,” he added. The children listened and waved both Israeli and French flags. Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the nationwide deployment of troops would be completed by Tuesday and would focus on the most sensitive locations. “The work on these attacks, on these terrorist and barbaric acts continues ... because we consider that there are most probably some possible accomplices,” Valls told BFM television. French police have said the Charlie Hebdo attacks were carried out by three people, but only two of those attackers — Cherif and Said Kouachi — have been identified by authorities. Video emerged Sunday of Coulibaly explaining how the attacks in Paris would unfold. French police want to find the person or persons who shot and posted the video, which was edited after Friday’s attacks. Boumeddiene was seen travelling through Turkey with a male companion before reportedly arriving in Syria with him on Jan. 8 — the day after the Charlie Hebdo attack and the same day Coulibaly began his murderous spree by killing the policewoman. Security camera video footage shown Monday by Turkey’s Haberturk newspaper showed Boumeddiene arriving at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcen airport on Jan. 2. A high ranking Turkish official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the woman on the video was Boumeddiene.

U.S. military’s Twitter, YouTube sites hacked BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Hackers claiming to work on behalf of Islamic State militants seized control of the Twitter and YouTube sites of the military’s U.S. Central Command on Monday. The Pentagon swiftly suspended the sites and said it appears that no classified material was breached. The hacker group appears to be the same one that is under FBI investigation for hijacking the websites or Twitter feeds of media outlets in the last month, including a Maryland television station and a New Mexico newspaper. The Central Command Twitter site was filled with threats that said “American soldiers, we are coming, watch your back.” Other postings appeared to list names, phone numbers and personal email addresses of military personnel as well as PowerPoint slides and maps. Most of the material was labeled “FOUO,” which means “For Official Use Only,” but none of it appeared to be classified or sensitive information, suggesting the hackers did not breach

classified material. One of the documents appeared to be slides developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory, a federally funded research and development centre focused on national security. The slides appeared to depict what it called “scenarios” for conflict with North Korea and China. “This is little more than a prank or vandalism. It’s inconvenient and it’s an annoyance. But that’s all it is,” said Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman. “It in no way compromises our operations in any way shape or form.” Warren said Pentagon officials are in contact with Twitter and YouTube to ensure that military passwords and other security for such public websites are adequate. The tweets came shortly after U.S. Central Command posted its own tweets about the U.S. and partner nations continuing to attack Islamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria and one repeating a report that said France will deploy an aircraft carrier to the fight. The hackers titled the Central Command Twitter page CyberCaliphate with

an underline that said “i love you isis.” And the broader message referred to the ongoing airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria and threatened, “We broke into your networks and personal devices and know everything about you. You’ll see no mercy infidels. ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base.” It added: “US soldiers! We’re watching you!” The intrusion on the military Twitter account carried the same logo, CyberCaliphate name and photo that appeared on the Albuquerque Journal’s

website in late December when one of its stories was hacked. And earlier this month, it appeared that the same hackers breached the Journal’s Twitter account and also took over the website and Twitter feed of WBOC-TV in Salisbury, Maryland. The FBI at the time acknowledged it was looking into the Albuquerque case, and WBOC said it was also in contact with the agency. Some IS militant videos also were posted on the Central Command’s YouTube site, purporting to show military operations and explosions.

Ohio State claims college crown EZEKIEL ELLIOTT CLUTCH IN WIN BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Ohio State 42 Oregon 20 ARLINGTON, Texas — If anybody’s looking for an early Heisman Trophy favourite for next season, look no further than Zeke. He’s already locked up the voting bloc called the Slobs. Tailback Ezekiel Elliott, known as Zeke to his teammates, had 246 yards on 36 carries and scored four touchdowns. And the “slobs” — the offensive linemen’s both affectionate and accurate name for themselves — dominated up front as the Buckeyes ran over, around and through Oregon 42-20 on Monday night to capture the national championship. The sophomore piled up an incredible 696 yards — averaging almost 9 yards a carry — in his last three games against defences representing three of the best teams in the land. And the line — with four of five new starters at the outset of the season — continued its powerful play, creating big holes for Elliott and buying time for quarterback Cardale Jones to

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP find receivers or to find seams to run through. After second-seeded Oregon moved quickly through the Buckeyes defence for a touchdown on the opening drive, Ohio State had to punt. The next time the Buckeyes got their hands on the ball, they put together a 97-yard march that might have salvaged their season. Jones, with plenty of time to throw thanks to the slobs, completed 26-yard passes to first Corey Smith and then Jalin Marshall. On second and 10 at the Oregon 33, Elliott raced away from a possible tackler at the line and then outran the Ducks secondary for the touchdown. The score not only electrified the thousands of Ohio State fans at AT&T Stadium, it was a sign that the Buckeyes planned on being in this for the long haul. Elliott was far from done. Ohio State forged a 14-7 lead after forcing another punt by the Ducks. Elliott accounted for exactly half of the yards on the 46-yard drive, including a 17-yard burst to the Oregon 1 that set up Jones’ 1-yard TD toss to Nick Vannett.

Raptors drop 114-111 decision to Pistons BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Detroit 114 Toronto 111 TORONTO — Jonas Valanciunas scored a career-high 31 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in a losing cause on Monday night, as the Toronto Raptors dropped a 114-111 decision to the Detroit Pistons. Brandon Jennings topped the Pistons (14-24) with 34 points. Seven players scored in double figures for Toronto (25-12), with Greivis Vasquez notching 16, Lou Williams adding 15, Amir Johnson and Terrence Ross finishing with 12 apiece, James Johnson scoring 11, and Kyle Lowry adding 10 to go with 12 assists. The Raptors had defeated the Pistons 110-100 in Detroit on Dec. 19, but the Michigan team’s record was third worst in the league at the time. Three days after that victory, the Pistons waived Josh Smith, and have been one of the NBA’s hottest teams since, winners of eight of nine games. Toronto coach Dwane Casey likened them to last season’s Raptors team after the Rudy Gay trade, saying “They’re clicking on all cylinders.” The Raptors, who snapped a fourgame losing skid with their 109-96 victory over Boston on Saturday, led for good chunk of the first three quarters, and were up by as much as 14 points in the first half. The Pistons came roaring back in the third, and cut the Raptors’ advantage to just 83-82 with a quarter left to play. Lowry followed up a driving layup with a pair of free throws to put the Raptors up by four points with 3:39

Back-to-back buckets from Jonas Jerebko gave the Pistons a three-point lead with 1:29 to play, and then after a mad scramble for the ball and with the shot-clock at nearly zero on the Pistons’ next possession, Meeks drained a three-pointer to put the Pistons up by four.

Lowry replied with a three with 43 seconds left, making it a one-point game and bringing the capacity crowd of 19,800 fans at the Air Canada Centre to their feet. Lowry missed with seven seconds left, and Kentavious CaldwellPope connected on two free throws to give Detroit their sixth consecutive road victory.

Turnovers proved costly for the Raptors, who coughed up 22 points on 19 giveaways. The Pistons had just eight turnovers, for seven points. The Raptors outshot Detroit 54 per cent to 43 per cent, but the Pistons won the battle of the boards 46-42. The game marked the 21st straight without DeMar DeRozan, who had originally targeted last Thursday for his return, but had then predicted he’d play some time this week. When asked pre-game about a potential return of his all-star, Casey wouldn’t say. The Raptors, who’ve been plagued by slow starts, came out of the opening whistle at full speed, with Valanciunas leading the way with 14 points, and Lowry doling out nine assists — just two shy of the club record for a quarter, held by Doug Christie. Lowry found Valanciunas for an alley-oop dunk that put the Raptors up by 12 midway through the quarter, and they took a 32-20 lead into the second. Williams led the way with nine points in the second quarter as the Raptors built their lead to 14 points. A floater from Williams with four seconds to play send Toronto into the dressing room at halftime with a 60-48 lead. The Pistons outscored Toronto 34-23 in the third, tying the game with a three by Jennings midway through the quarter. The Raptors remained within four points of the Pistons for the rest of the frame, pulling ahead to lead by one with one quarter to play. The Raptors host Philadelphia on Wednesday, then the Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta Hawks on Friday. They cap the homestand on Sunday when they host the New Orleans Pelicans.

Flames prepare for California swing before break BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The Calgary Flames are on the playoff bubble in the Western Conference standings. Their upcoming four-game road trip will provide a good indication of whether they belong in the post-season mix. After a stop in Arizona on Thursday to face the Coyotes, the Flames take on two teams hovering just above them in the Western Conference standings — the San Jose Sharks on Saturday and the Los Angeles Kings next Monday. Calgary wraps up the trip next week in Anaheim before sending captain Mark Giordano and rookie forward Johnny Gaudreau to Columbus, Ohio, for the NHL’s all-star game Jan. 24-25. The Flames were ninth in the conference at 22-18-3 with just three points but four teams separating them from fifth Monday. So Calgary needs to parlay its light schedule in January into precious points.

The Flames eked out a 1-0 win in Vancouver on Saturday and then came home for a second four-day break this month. Head coach Bob Hartley spoke earlier this season about breaking the season up into five-game segments. “It’s all about looking at the standings. We’re right there,” Hartley said Monday. “This is a crucial segment for us. We won our first game in Vancouver and now we’re going on a fourgame road trip. We need minimums of eight points per segment.” So that math requires either a sweep in California should the Flames get upset in the desert by the Coyotes, or taking at least two of three in The Golden State. Calgary’s last win in Anaheim was almost 11 years ago on Jan. 19, 2004. With the Ducks pulling away atop the Pacific Division, the “four-point” games in Los Angeles and San Jose take on more importance in Calgary’s goal of making the NHL post-season

after a five-year absence. “This is very important for us, this stretch,” Giordano said. “We’re playing a lot of teams in our conference and our division. Really, we want to set ourselves up to be in a playoff spot at that break. That would be ideal. To do that, we have to have a really good trip there.” The Flames have been dominant against Arizona this season, going 3-0 against the Coyotes, who own the second-worst record in the Western conference. Calgary is 1-1 versus both the Sharks and the Ducks and owns a 2-0 record against the Kings so far this season. The Flames edged the Ducks 4-3 in a shootout at home Nov. 18, but lost 3-2 at the Honda Centre on Nov. 25. The Flames blanked host San Jose 2-0 the following day, but a 3-2 loss Dec. 6 to the visiting Sharks was the start of an eight-game losing streak for Calgary. The Flames doubled the visiting Kings 2-1 on Dec. 29, but it was their

heist of a win at the Staples Center on Dec. 22 that arrested the skid. Trailing 3-1 after two periods, Gaudreau completed his hat trick in the third period and Giordano scored in overtime against the defending Stanley Cup champions. “We had some luck there I would say,” Giordano said. “They’re a team that’s been known to turn it on in the second half of the year in years past. “We believe we can play with anyone, but we’ve got to be willing, especially on this trip here to win some of those games like we did the other night (in Vancouver) and grind them out.” Calgary will have played just eight games in 20 days at the all-star break, which is compensation for their hectic early-season schedule. “We played so many at the start, it felt like, and we had to let the other teams catch up at some point,” Giordano said. “Going into the all-star break I think everyone will be around the same amount of games.”

Vipers skate past Colts BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Vipers 7 Colts 4 The Red Deer Vipers (13-14-1) appear to have found their game as they head into the Heritage Junior B Hockey League’s home stretch. With their 7-4 win over the Mountain View Colts (17-11-2) on Monday at the Red Deer Arena, they have won four of their three of their first four games in the new year and five of their last six games overall. The one hiccup was a short-handed 9-5 loss in Banff to the Bears (8-20-3) on Jan. 4. “(Mountain View) is a team we are trying to catch to get in a better position for playoffs, so it was a huge win for us,” said Vipers head coach JD Morrical. The Vipers were coming off a 9-2 win over the Bears at the Arena less than 24 hours earlier. On Monday, Brett Hoppus scored twice to lead the Vipers while Dustin Spearing had a goal and two assists. Matthew Thiessen, Brett Marsollier, Justin Corbett and Colton Weseen also tallied for Red Deer while Munro made 32 saves for the win. Evan Thompson, Jacob Vander Saag, Colton Anderson and Cole Sutherland responded with one goal each for the Colts. Jake Carlson made the start and stopped 15 of 19 shots before being replaced at 6:34 of the second period. Thomas Della Siega stopped nine of the 11 shots he faced in relief.

Zobrist understands quirks of Oakland Coliseum BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND, Calif. — Ben Zobrist needs few reminders of the quirks that come with playing in the Oakland Coliseum, his new home. In the 10th inning of a loss last August playing for the Rays, a small opossum scurried alongside the Tampa Bay left fielder and he caught glimpse of the critter out of the corner of his eye. “Apparently that was a good omen for the A’s, and not so much for us,” he said with a chuckle Monday. Zobrist might be in for far more sightings of his new furry friend after the A’s acquired the two-time AllStar infielder along with shortstop Yunel Escobar on Saturday to fill out the middle of their infield. The A’s sent catcher John Jaso and two minor leaguers to the Rays in the trade. Zobrist combines with Fernando Abad to complete general manager

Billy Beane’s A-to-Z makeover of the A’s spanning the past 14 months. The 33-year-old Zobrist helped the Rays make the playoffs four of the past seven seasons, including an improbable run to the World Series in 2008. He hit .272 with 10 home runs and 52 RBIs last season, and made starts at second base, shortstop, all three outfield spots and designated hitter. He will never forget the shock of those opossum eyes staring right at him last summer. Zobrist noticed the creature on a foul ball by Alberto Callaspo earlier in the 10th inning of the 3-2 defeat on Aug. 4. “That was a strange moment,” Zobrist said Monday. “I was playing a little bit in the gap so I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to the corner over there. I ran a long way for a foul ball and I was over near the bullpen and I saw the ball go into the stands and just kind of out of the corner in my eye

there was something in the corner of my eye. I’m like, ’What in the world?’ I thought it was maybe a piece of paper. I looked over and there it was, a baby possum just staring right up at me. I stood there just frozen for a second, looking at this thing like, ’Where did you come from?”’ Zobrist, ready to step in at second base, looks forward to maintaining his double-play rhythm with Escobar at shortstop and said that could make for a more seamless transition to his new team. “Every year there’s a little bit of a culture change in every clubhouse. There is a new dynamic and a new culture and chemistry that has to be cultivated from the start of the season every year,” Zobrist said. “It’s interesting, it definitely was a little bittersweet. You think a lot about the time we’ve spent in Tampa Bay. It’s been eight years. It’s hard to leave be-

NCAA: Remained in control for most of the game Despite four turnovers, Ohio State remained in control for most of the game — thanks to the muscle up front and the power in the backfield. By halftime, Elliott had 98 yards on 11 carries and Ohio State had accumulated 315 yards of total offence against a defence that was giving up 421 yards per game. After Oregon pulled to a 21-20 deficit Elliott and Co. took over again. On the last play of the third period, Elliott powered over two tacklers at the goal line on a 9-yard touchdown run that helped the Buckeyes staunch the Ducks’ momentum. He then covered the final 2 yards for another touchdown that gave Ohio State some breathing room, 35-20 at

hind a lot of friends and relationships there, but at the same time we’re thinking ahead and we’re looking forward to the new baseball chapter and the new challenge ahead.” Also Monday, right-hander Jesse Chavez agreed to a $2.15 million, oneyear contract that avoided salary arbitration. Chavez stepped in as a key member of the rotation in 2014 when projected starters Jarrod Parker and A.J. Griffin were each lost for the year to elbow injuries that required surgery. Chavez, 31, went 8-8 with a 3.45 ERA with 21 starts and 32 appearances for a career-high 146 innings last year, when he made $775,000. The team’s remaining arbitrationeligible players are Abad, Ryan Cook, Sam Fuld, Craig Gentry, Brett Lawrie, Jarrod Parker, Josh Reddick and Eric Sogard.

9:44 of the final period. It’s hard to fathom how far the line and the running game have come. The Buckeyes rushed for 194 yards (on 40 carries) in the comeback win against Navy to open the season, and then they looked dismal with just 108 yards on 40 carries in the 35-21 loss to Virginia Tech in Week Two. Look what a difference 40 carries makes. Elliott went for 220 yards on 20 carries in a 59-0 rout of Wisconsin and then picked up 230 yards — again on 20 carries — in a 42-35 win over topranked Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Then came another big showing that brought Ohio State its first national championship in 12 years. Oregon has never won a national championship. The Ducks’ last appearance in the title game was following the 2010 season, when Mariota was a senior at St. Louis High School in Honolulu. Oregon fell to Auburn 22-19.

Cougars fall to Cyclones The Notre Dam Cougars Junior Varsity girls basketball team dropped their first home game of the season, falling 63-61 to Innisfail Cyclones on Monday. The Cougars trailed by as much as 14 points in the third quarter but could not complete the comeback. Kamryn Henderson led the Cougars with 19 points while Shea Best had 18 and Sam Hermary was named player of the game for Notre Dame. Emily McCook scored a game-high 20 points for Innisfail and Courtney Dickson had 13. The Notre Dame Cougars JV boys crushed Innisfail 82-31 in the late game. Ed Ortiz led Notre Dame with 20 points while Kris Leblanc added 14. Devon Hoffensetz had 14 points to lead

the Cyclones. Notre Dame hosts Wetaskiwin on Wednesday with the girls going at 6 p.m. and the boys to follow.

Reed wins Kapalua in a playoff BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KAPALUA, Hawaii — Patrick Reed never thought he had a serious chance to win at Kapalua until he stood over an 18-foot birdie putt in a playoff Monday. Like so many other times in his young career, he didn’t waste it. Four shots behind with four holes to play, Reed made two birdies, holed an 80-yard shot for eagle and got just enough help from Jimmy Walker to win the Hyundai Tournament of Champions for his fourth career PGA Tour victory. “I thought my chances were slim,” Reed said. “So I was just thinking to myself, ’Let’s try to birdie three of the last four and get ourselves a chance to secure second alone, and give ourselves a chance — just maybe.” A two-putt birdie on the par-5 15th. The wedge he holed on the 16th for eagle. And after a three-putt from 100 feet just off the green at 17 slowed his momentum, Reed two-putted for birdie from 80 feet on the par-5 18th for a 6-under 67. Then it was up to Walker, who appeared to have control until he tried to play it safe off the tee on the short par-4 14th and found a bunker, leading to his first bogey in 33 holes at Kapalua. Walker twice missed birdie putts inside 10 feet, and he missed an 18-foot birdie putt for the win in regulation. He closed with a 69 to join Reed at 21-under 271. In the playoff, Walker’s chip went over the green, and he had a 6-foot par putt that he never had to hit when Reed made his winning putt. “It was there for me to win,” Walker said. “It was a bummer I didn’t close the door on it.” The 24-year-old Reed joined some elite company as the fifth player in the last 25 years to win at least four times on the PGA Tour before turning 25. The others were Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. “Everyone is trying to get to the best in the world,” Reed said. “But that’s going to take a long time. It’s nothing that happens overnight.” The trick is to win, and Reed already has shown

Patrick Reed holds the winning trophy after defeating Jimmy Walker in a playoff at the Tournament of Champions golf tournament, Monday in Kapalua, Hawaii. he has that knack with his fourth win in his last 35 starts on the PGA Tour. But it was his first victory since the World Golf Championship at Doral, where he caused a stir by saying he was among the top five players in the world. This moved him to a career-best No. 14, though he was more interested in what he could do get better.

Jason Day became the second player on Monday to tie the Plantation Course record with a 62 — Chris Kirk shot 62 earlier in the day as the first player out. Day posted at 20-under 272, though that score never looked as though it would be enough. Russell Henley closed with five straight birdies for a 67 to join Day at 272. They were joined by Hideki Matsuyama, tied with Walker at the start of the final round. The 22-year-old from Japan also felt as though he lost a good opportunity to win. He missed birdie chances on the last four holes and missed them all to shoot 70. Walker and Matsuyama were locked in a spirited duel over the front nine until Walker landed what appeared to be a knockout punch. He holed a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 8, hit a great fairway metal from a downhill lie onto the green at the par-5 ninth for a two-putt birdie, and then made a 10-foot putt at the 10th for his third straight birdie. That gave him a three-shot lead over Matsuyama, and he kept that margin stepping to the 14th tee. It all changed so quickly. Walker ended his bogey-free streak when he tried to play conservatively off the tee at the 14th by hitting a 4-iron. It sailed right into a bunker, and he went over the green and missed a short par putt. In the group ahead of him, Reed birdied the par-5 15th and suddenly took a share of the lead by holing a wedge from 80 yards out for eagle on the 16th hole. “I walked to 17 tee and heard that Jimmy was at 21 (under) as well,” Reed said. “I was like, ’Oh, wow.”’ Just like that, it was a sprint to the finish. Reed looked as if he had wasted his big surge when he three-putted for bogey from just off the green 100 feet away, lipping out his 4-foot par attempt. But he reached the front of the 18th in two shots for a two-putt birdie. It gave him a chance, and that was all Reed needed. “I can’t do anything about him. I can’t control that,” Walker said. “I can control what I was doing, and I wasn’t doing my job.”

Brady tries to go 4-0 against Luck and the Colts BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — No Brady vs. Manning XVII this post-season. Now it’s Brady vs. Luck IV. Translation: After 16 matchups with Peyton Manning, Tom Brady will face Andrew Luck for the fourth time when the star quarterbacks lead the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night. At stake in this budding rivalry is a spot in Super Bowl XLIX (that’s 49) — one year after Manning’s Broncos beat Brady’s Patriots in last season’s AFC championship game. The Patriots (13-4) are much more familiar with Manning. But his struggles in Denver’s 24-13 AFC divisional game loss against Indianapolis on Sunday accentuated his recent decline. The Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens 35-31, overcoming two 14-point deficits as Brady threw for three touchdowns and ran for one Saturday. The steadily rising Luck is more of a puzzle than Manning even though the Patriots are 3-0 against the third-year veteran with every win by more than 20 points. Still, their lack of experience against him — and his growth as a quarterback — could mean extra time for defenders in the film room and on the practice field getting ready for the strong-armed Luck and the Colts (13-5). “In the National Football League you just pre-

pare for your next opponent,” Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia said Monday. “I don’t think you worry about who is hard (to prepare for) or who’s not.” The Patriots prepared for both quarterbacks in the regular season. And they beat both by 22 points in consecutive games. They routed the Broncos 43-21 on Nov. 2 in Foxborough with Manning throwing for 438 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. The loss dropped him to 5-11 against Brady. After a bye, the Patriots went to Indianapolis and beat the Colts 42-20 on Nov. 16. Luck threw for 303 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. “Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck, both of them present very difficult, extreme problems that you have to defend,” Patricia said of the top picks in the NFL draft, both by the Colts, in 1998 and 2012. The Brady-Manning rivalry began with the Patriots’ second-year quarterback’s first NFL start, a 4413 win over Manning’s Colts on Sept. 30, 2001. Luck was a rookie when he first faced Brady on Nov. 18, 2012. And he played like one in New England’s 59-24 win. He threw three interceptions with two returned for touchdowns covering 87 and 59 yards. He also lost a fumble one play before Brady hit Rob Gronkowski with a 34-yard touchdown pass. “They’re good enough,” Luck said after the game.

STORY FROM PAGE B2

VIPERS: Game was 2-2 through 20 minutes The game was 2-2 through 20 minutes, but Thiessen scored 38 seconds into the second period to put the Vipers up one goal. The the dam broke open completely. The Vipers went on to score three goals in 1:20 starting with Marsollier’s power-play marker at 6:34 to chase Carlson. Corbett scored another power-play goal at 7:29 and then Weseen capped the onslaught at 7:54, burying a rebound off a two-on-one rush. The Colts controlled the play in the third period but could only get one more past Munro while Hoppus added an empty-netter. At the centre of the Vipers resurgence has been the play of Munro who has finally taken over the No. 1 job in net, separating himself from the three-goalie competition with Lane Congdon and Rylan Bardick that has persisted since training camp. Munro has picked up the win in all three victories since Christmas. “I don’t know what it is about Munro, but the boys play harder for him than they seem to for the other two goalies,” said Morrical. “That’s fine with me, as long as we block shots and do what it takes to help Munro out as much as they can and he’s stopping the pucks he has to stop.” The Vipers are back in action on Saturday when they host the Airdrie Lightning (19-9-2) at 8 p.m. at the Arena. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

“They don’t need those gifts.” In his next game against the Patriots, he threw four interceptions in a 43-22 AFC divisional playoff loss last season, one week before Manning and Denver eliminated New England. Before this season’s loss to the Patriots, Manning said, “You know you’d better not be going three-andout, turning the ball over, trying to figure out what they’re doing on defence. Because you know Brady & Co. are capable of putting up a lot of points and you’re going to find yourselves behind, especially up there.” Luck learned that quickly and repeatedly. “I’m just disappointed in myself,” he said after the Patriots beat the Colts two weeks later. “It’s up to us to fix what we did wrong and move on.” They did that, winning five of their remaining six regular-season games, albeit against a weak schedule, before beating Cincinnati and Denver in the playoffs. That last game ruined chances for another BradyManning reunion. “The NFL is a very competitive league,” Brady said Monday during his weekly appearance on WEEI radio. “Peyton is an incredible player. Andrew Luck’s a great player. We’ve got one of the great young quarterbacks coming into our stadium, so we’ve got to be able to figure out a way to slow those guys down.” The Patriots did that well enough to beat Manning 11 times in Brady’s career. Now they’ll try to go 4-0 against Luck.

Former NFL full back Konrad talks about 16-hour swim to shore BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PLANTATION, Fla. — The former NFL fullback entered the room with a wobble in his walk, and needed assistance climbing a podium so he could face a media throng and discuss his death-defying 16-hour swim to shore. Rob Konrad sipped from a bottle of water, his efforts to rehydrate ongoing four days after the episode. His wife sat at his side rubbing his leg in support, and tears welled in their eyes as he spoke Monday. “Happy to be here,” he began with a wry smile. “I shouldn’t be here,” he said later, his voice cracking. The 38-year-old Konrad’s escape was a testament to willpower and world-class athleticism. The first reports of his adventure last week received worldwide attention. Even endurance swimmer Diana Nyad was impressed. “It’s an incredible story,” Nyad said. “Taking his life in his hands and deciding he was going to save himself, I admire him.” Konrad, who played for the Miami Dolphins from 1999 to 2004, had been around boats since his childhood on Boston’s North Shore. So he knew what it meant when he fell off his 31-foot Grady-White while fishing alone nine miles from land. “A boater’s nightmare,” he said. He swam to Palm Beach, covering a distance of 27 miles before ringing the doorbell of an oceanfront

home for help at 4:30 a.m. Thursday. The U.S. Coast Guard last week provided a brief summary of the events. Konrad, still weak after several days in the hospital for treatment of hypothermia and dehydration, held a news conference to fill in the details. They were hard to believe, he and his wife agreed. “It was a miracle he made it home,” Tammy Konrad said. Her husband said he was taking his boat for servicing last Wednesday and decided to do a little fishing along the way. He had caught a large fish and was tending to the rod when a large wave hit, flipping Konrad into the ocean. His boat was on autopilot and headed east. There were no other boats in sight. Konrad wasn’t wearing a life preserver. It was 12:30 p.m. “I realized I was in some real trouble,” he said. Konrad quickly decided to swim toward shore, although he figured the trip would take more than 10 hours, and feared succumbing to hypothermia or cramps after two or three hours. The ocean temperature was in the low 70s — far from frigid, but a lot colder than his body temperature. So Konrad decided he’d better keep moving. He took off his shirt and began alternating between a breaststroke and backstroke.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2015 B7

NFL has more than one rued rule ago. Defensive pass interference. The NCAA’s punishment is 15 yards, but the NFL puts the ball at the spot of the foul, even if that happens to be inches from the end zone after a 40 or 50-yard penalty. Without replay reviews allowed in these cases and much contention about what’s allowable for down-field contact and what’s not, the pass interference flag is perhaps the most debated in the sport. So there’s no worse feeling for the offending team, or its fans, to see the opponent get first and goal with disagreement with the call in the first place.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hours after Dallas was defeated in Green Bay, the player at the centre of that game’s most memorable sequence spoke for millions of other football followers than just the Cowboys and their frustrated fans. “We lost and I accept it,” wide receiver Dez Bryant tweeted, “but please change that rule.” His leaping 31-yard reception on fourth down landed at the 1 in the waning minutes, but the call was overturned by a Packers challenge and Green Bay took a 26-21 victory to the NFC championship game. Dallas had many other opportunities to win and the rule was widely deemed to be interpreted correctly, so the latest NFL controversy wasn’t about a team getting a raw deal from the refs. Rather, this was the conundrum: a spectacular catch that passed the eye test for most people watching, but failed to satisfy the league’s complex rule book. The spotlight Sunday fell on Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 1: “If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete.” The biggest beef raised by Bryant and the Cowboys was that the ball only came loose when it hit the ground near the pylon. He had full possession as he took his stumbling steps toward the goal line, but because by definition he was considered to still be falling then that didn’t count toward completion of the catch. The rule was put in place to make such calls easier for officials on the field. The league’s vice-president of officiating, Dean Blandino, said Sunday that Bryant’s “football move” of stretching his arm toward the goal line

Tackling. Everyone is for player safety, of course, and the frightening amount of post-career health problems in this violent game have prompted the league to tighten standards for pressuring the quarterback, bringing down the ball carrier and covering the receiver. With the crackdown on hard hits, especially those to and with the head, has come confusion from defensive players in recent years about what they’re allowed to do to keep the offence from beating them. Slowing by a half-step in this ultra-fast sport to make sure a tackle or a hit is legal will inevitably lead to a whiff and a long gain. There are always contrarians to the consensus, of course. NFL analyst Cris Carter, the Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver, said Monday on ESPN radio that he’s a strong proponent of the process-ofcatch rule. “It really helps clear it up,” Carter said. “Hand the ball to the referee.” Rules that might have outlived their usefulness or become unnecessarily unwieldy to most were once installed for legitimate reasons. In 2010, a few weeks after a controversial incompletion that went against Calvin Johnson and the Detroit Lions, a similar non-catch to Bryant’s, NFL competition committee co-chairman Rich McKay acknowledged the difficulty of the rule. “It was made for on-field officials,” McKay said, “not as much for people watching on TV.”

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant (88) catches a pass against Green Bay Packers cornerback Sam Shields (37) during the second half of an NFL divisional playoff football game Sunday, in Green Bay, Wis. The play was reversed. The Packers won 26-21. was not obvious enough. “If we make this a catch, then where do we draw the line with a lot of other plays where it’s clearly incomplete by rule?” Blandino said on the NFL Network. “It can be become even more inconsistent.” Since this happened at such a pivotal point of such an important game, strict parameters will likely stay in first place on the public’s list of gripes for a while. There are worthy competitors for the most rued rule, though:

Excessive celebration. New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham’s signature crossbar slam dunk in the back of the end zone was the most recent creative act to land on the no-no list. Entertainment is what pulls so many millions of people into these games each Sunday during the season, and the NFL’s various attempts to limit on-field flamboyance following touchdowns or even sacks have triggered many a complaint. The derisive “No Fun League” nickname rose out of this eye-rolling exasperation decades

Fox out at Broncos coach Rex Ryan to coach Bills finish last season. The Jets reached and lost the AFC Championship game in each of Ryan’s first two seasons, but failed to make the playoffs since. The Bills are already making plans to assist Ryan on offence.A person familiar with negotiations told The Associated Press that the Bills are finalizing contract discussions to hire Greg Roman as their offensive co-ordinator. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because Roman has not yet been signed. Roman spent the past four years as the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive co-ordinator, and was among the 12 candidates interviewed by the Bills last week. He is regarded as a good fit under Ryan, because the two share a similar run-first philosophy. Ryan’s hiring provides stability to a team that endured a tumultuous 10-month stretch, which began when Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March. Wilson’s death raised concerns that the franchise might relocate under new owners before the Pegulas — who also own the NHL Buffalo Sabres — purchased the Bills for an NFL-record $1.4 billion in October. Then came Marrone’s departure following a 9-7 finish. Buffalo matched its best record in a decade, but missed the playoffs to extend the NFL’s longest active drought to 15 seasons.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Rex Ryan is officially going from Broadway to Buffalo. The Bills announced in a news release Monday that Ryan has been hired to take over as coach. The news came a day after the former New York Jets coach tentatively accepted the Bills’ contract offer. Ryan replaces Doug Marrone, who stepped down abruptly on Dec. 31. “Rex brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the position that we feel will be a tremendous benefit to our players and the entire Bills organization,” owner Terry Pegula said in a statement released by the team. “He was very impressive during the interview process, as were many of the candidates to which we spoke. And we feel Rex is the best fit for our team.” Ryan will be formally introduced during a press conference scheduled for Wednesday. The 52-year-old is a defensive specialist, and noted for a brash personality and having a deep loyalty to his players. Ryan had a 50-52 record, including 4-2 in the playoffs, in six seasons coaching the Bills’ AFC East rival. He was fired along with general manager John Idzik following a 4-12

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Elway is looking for a new coach after agreeing to part ways with John Fox following Denver’s latest playoff meltdown. Fox won the AFC West all four of his years in Denver, but each of those seasons ended in ugly fashion in the playoffs, culminating with Sunday’s 2413 upset by Indianapolis. Fox might already have something in the works with another franchise — he didn’t shoot down a pregame report Sunday night that he could be available if the Broncos lost. Neither Fox nor Elway would say what was discussed Monday when they met other than it was time to split up. “It became clear that it was best for both the Denver Broncos and Coach Fox to move on and make this change,” Elway said in a statement. So, Fox is out after going 49-22 in Denver, including the playoffs, following a 78-74 record in nine years with the Carolina Panthers, counting the post-season. Fox gathered his players at noon Monday but didn’t talk about his own future. Chris Harris Jr. said Fox’s message was “just that he appreciated everybody’s efforts. He loved us and everybody just be smart in the offseason and make sure you take care of your body to be ready to come back ready to roll when OTAs start.” Two hours later, Elway met with Fox and told the assistant coaches they remain under contract but were free to pursue jobs with other teams. The players had left when the news broke, and several reacted bluntly on Twitter. “Cold World ...,” wrote Demaryius Thomas. “Wow ...,” said Omar Bolden. “Damn,” tweeted Terrance Knighton. The Broncos went 8-8 in Fox’s first year, when Tebowmania was in full pitch. The stakes were raised when Denver won the Peyton Manning sweepstakes and replaced Tim Tebow

in 2012. Manning was murky about his future Sunday night, saying he had to process this latest loss before deciding whether to play an 18th NFL season. He wasn’t in the locker room Monday. Elway thanked Fox for helping “establish a positive, winning culture for this team” and said he “deserves a lot of credit for the Broncos’ turnaround,” but added “there is still work to be done” to win a Super Bowl. Fox characterized his meeting with Elway as productive and honest and the two “mutually agreed that the timing was right for this decision.” “Although we came up short of our ultimate goal, I am proud of our team’s many accomplishments during these last four years,” Fox said in a statement. “It was an honour to coach the Denver Broncos, a first-class franchise with great fans and a winning tradition. “I am eager to continue my coaching career and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead,” Fox added. Fox became the only coach in NFL history to win a dozen consecutive divisional road games on his way to an unprecedented four straight AFC West titles in Denver. But the goal when Manning came on board was Super Bowl trophies. Instead, Manning is 2-3 in the playoffs with the Broncos. Elway brought Fox to Denver in the aftermath of the Josh McDaniels era, saying he was looking for someone who could breathe some positive vibes into a locker room that had been beaten down as McDaniels’ 6-0 start in 2009 turned sour and resulted in his firing midway through 2010. Fox’s first task was figuring out what to do with Tebow, and the coach’s flexibility showed, when he completely remade his offence for Tebow after sticking him in the starting lineup in Game 6 of the 2011 season. Denver won seven of the next 11 games and finished 8-8, which was good enough to win the middling AFC West.

Walk away from boyfriend who fears commitment Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I are in our 60s and have been together for 12 years. We recently had a disagreement, and he walked away. I emailed him and he said he has feelings for me and always will, but he can’t make me happy. He said I need someone who is as romantic and financially secure as I am. He has no pension, no savings and a business that is barely surviving. He also told me that his health problems are why we haven’t had sex in four years. I am his fifth relationship that hasn’t worked out. He used to phone me every night and I miss that. After previous disagreements, he always came back. He said he doesn’t want to be in a relationship now and needs to look after his business. He claims to be a workaholic. Should I contact him again? — J. Dear J.: How much do you want to suffer? There are reasons this man is incapable of being in a permanent relationship. If he wants that to change, he would likely need counseling to understand his motivations better. But you cannot make that happen. You can only decide what is best for YOU. Unless this man gets help and makes major changes to his life, he cannot give you any type of commitment, nor does he want to. He prefers to leave the relationship. We think you should let him. Dear Annie: When our relatives come for a visit, as they do every winter without fail, why do they expect to be treated to free accommodations

and free meals, which we provide year after year, while they never offer a coffeecake or pizza or, better yet, to prepare one of the many meals expected during their visit? An offer to treat us to a meal at a resMITCHELL taurant, even & SUGAR breakfast, would be welcomed. From my perspective, these “guests” freely take our time, our generosity and our kindness at a most stressful time of year, and their only form of appreciation is the blanket invitation to “come on down” offered at their departure. Why don’t they mention possible dates for a future visit to make the invitation seem genuine? These guests do not suggest or pay for activities while visiting us. They think that since they paid to travel to us, we should be willing to cover all expenses while they are here. And since it is their vacation, they treat us as their employees. We love our family members. We are happy to see them at every opportunity. But we feel taken advantage of, especially when they notify us of the dates for their next visit. — Planning

Man commits burglary while carrying five-month-old ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Police say a Florida man carrying his 5-month-old son acted as a lookout while his friend tried to break into a house, then threatened the owner of the home with a knife. St. Petersburg Police said in a news release that a homeowner found 22-year-old Corey Mathews outside his home Monday, holding a baby in a car carrier. Police say that when Mathews spotted the homeowner, he alerted another suspect attempting to break into the home. The other suspect fled, and the homeowner called 911 as he followed Mathews. Mathews then pulled out a knife and threatened to kill the man if he kept following him. Mathews was held Tuesday on $15,000 bond on burglary and other charges. Pinellas County jail records didn’t show whether he had an attorney. Police say Mathews’ mother took custody of the baby.

Virginia turning roadkill into compost WINDSOR, Va. — The Virginia Department of Transportation is working to turn highway carcasses into plant food. The state agency is testing the practice of turning roadkill into compost at four sites across the state, using a special system that accelerates decomposition and suppresses odours. The Virginian-Pilot reports the system costs $140,000 and can break down animals in as little as six weeks in concrete bins. The compost is then used to control erosion and help establish grass after construction. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Opportunity will arrive for you with financial blessings.

College braces for cuts OIL PRICE SLUMP EXPECTED TO HAVE IMPACT ON PROVINCIAL GRANTS BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Bracing for the worst, Red Deer College leaders won’t know how lowpriced oil will impact their budget until the provincial budget this spring. Already, the college administration is looking at how to handle new cuts to the school’s funding two years after a significant cut to a provincial operating grant. In the 2013 Alberta budget, 7.2 per cent was cut from the operating grants to post-secondary institution. That meant $4.5 million less to RDC from the provincial government. In March 2013, the average price per barrel for oil was $92.94. As of Monday, oil sat at $46.10, and provincial government revenue is based in great part on

oil royalties. “We continue to get signals from the government that it’s going to be a tough budget year,” said Jim Brinkhurst, RDC vice-president of college services and chief financial officer. “We know from our experience last time that we won’t find out exactly what that’s going to be until the date of the budget.” An internal RDC email obtained by the Advocate, sent to college staff by president and CEO Joel Ward, outlined the anticipated budget pressures. “Just six months ago, we were hearing our new minister say that funding would be restored from the disastrous cuts of 18 months ago. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case,” reads the email. “We are now hearing significant cuts are coming.” Brinkhurst and college administra-

tion believes this is just a temporary dip and that oil can increase in price just as quickly as it decreased. Regardless of the pending budget, the college’s plans outlined in the land use master plan, including some of the facilities that will be used by the 2019 Canada Winter Games, will continue as planned. “We recognize in this economic climate there are going to be ups and downs,” said Brinkhurst. “We have to take a long term view, we try to make those decisions in the context of our future focused direction our board of governors has established and we continue to work with the partners in our community to pursue those on a long term basis. “What happens today may be very different than what we see out into the future.

“The facility we’re building is meeting a need of 25 years into the future for the institution.” The facilities that will be used as part of the 2019 Canada Winter Games are just a small part of the plans for the college. The master plan includes future residences, parking and teaching spaces, on top of the centre for health and wellness services that includes two gymnasiums and two ice surfaces. The centre will be a part of the games, but will serve a larger purpose in the college’s programming afterwards. “We believe this region will continue to grow with the economic development going on here,” said Brinkhurst. “We have to grow with the needs of the region. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Young War Amps ambassador eager to share story BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF It’s a daunting task for a seven-yearold to get up in front of his class to give a presentation, let alone in front of the entire school. But Clive Collins was enthusiastic about talking with the students at École Olds Elementary School last week about an issue important to him. When he was three, Clive lost part of his left arm in a lawnmower accident. When he was five, he became an ambassador with the War Amps. He took the chance last week to share his story. “He was very excited to get up in front of the whole school and talk,” said Carrie Krause, his teacher. “He did very well, he’s only in Grade 2. “He’s excited to share with people about his arm and what happened and why it is the way it is.” Clive gave the presentation with Jovanna Rodney, a University of Calgary student who has volunteered with the War Amps for several years. “The more people hear from Clive, the more comfortable they become, and this helps him to feel less different from everyone else,” said his mother Sarah Collins. “It’s easier to talk just openly about it, so the big mystery of amputation disappears and then it’s just Clive.” At the beginning of the year, Krause talked with all the students in her class about Clive and what had happened.

Clive Collins talks to his classmates about his prosthesis. Earlier, the Grade 2 student talked to the entire École Olds Elementary School about his experiences since losing part of his left arm in a lawnmower accident. Putting it all on the table, Krause felt it was a better approach than having the children guessing and wondering what had happened to Collins. Clive brought in his prosthetics and sat down with his mom, Krause and the other students to talk. “We found out very quickly that he can do basically anything the other

students can do,” said Krause. “That was an ‘Aha’ moment for the students.” Putting on a jacket can be a challenge for Clive, as can tying shoes and cutting with scissors. But there isn’t much else he hasn’t figured out. “He’s very friendly and he’s inquisitive,” said Krause. “He likes to be helpful to the other kids, I think for him it

is his chance to return the favour when the kids are helpful to him.” After the presentation, Clive returned to the classroom to continue the conversation with his classmates. He passed around some of the prosthetic devices that he uses for various activities, including riding his bike. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Early in his career, Milne worked as a printmaker, producing original etchings, woodcuts, linocuts and mixed media drawings.

SHARING THE LOAD

LOCAL

BRIEFS Impaired driving sentencing delayed a few more weeks Sentencing will be held in a few more weeks for a Lacombe oilfield worker convicted of charges arising from a collision that killed a 41-yearold man from Breton in the fall of 2012. Randy Pinch died in hospital of injuries suffered when his northbound pickup truck collided with a larger pickup truck that crossed the centre line while heading south near the intersection of Hwy 20 and the Aspelund Road at 9 p.m. on Sept. 21, 2012. Matthew Lawrence Engelman, now 26, was charged with impaired driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death and refusing to provide a breath sample. He was convicted of two of the three charges by Justice Monica Bast in the Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Oct. 29. Bast found Engleman guilty of the impaired and refusal charges, but said there was not enough evidence to support a charge of dangerous driving. Sentencing was postponed at the time to allow time for preparation of a pre-sentence to report. Represented by Calgary defence counsel Hersh Wolch, Engelman returns to the Court of Queen’s Bench on Feb. 27 for sentencing.

Glory days, not just a Bruce Springsteen song “You can only lose what you cling to.” — Buddha “I could run forever,” stated Alvin. “Nothing and no one could catch me.” He was talking about his running days again. We all rolled our eyes and sighed. “I was the fastest kid in school. That’s why I was chosen for the running team.” We all knew the story; we’d heard it at least a dozen times. His high school running team was chosen to compete in a big city road race. After finishing the race “a mile ahead of the competition” a big-school running coach asked if he’d like to try out for the provincial team. “Of course, I said yes but my old man wouldn’t drive me.” Alvin went on to explain for the nth time that he lived on a farm and his father thought running was a foolish pursuit. “That coach went on to train runners for the Commonwealth Games.” I knew what was next: Alvin’s declaration of what might have been. “Who’s to say? I could have become a world-class runner.” “Another Roger Bannister,” I said with a wink and smile. “Very likely,” he replied. “Very likely, indeed.” I realized a long time ago that Alvin was preoccupied with the past. Some have referred to this longing for the good old days as Glory Days Syndrome. When I think of Glory Days, I think of the old Bruce Springsteen song by the same name. The lyric tells the story of three people longing for the past. Each is disappointed with how his or her life has turned out. Each looks back and views past achievements as the

highlight of his or her existence — the best part. Now don’t get me wrong; a little nostalgia can be a good thing. Often, it is only through reflection that we can appreciate the value of past experiMURRAY ences and FUHRER receive the lesson that always accompanies them. It’s natural to recall fond memories, such as a special vacation or something deeply personal like our first love, first kiss or the birth of a child, and feel warmed and comforted by the recollection. Too much nostalgia, however, can rob today of its rewards. Before I began my journey of building self-esteem, I was stuck in the past. Much like Alvin, I was happy to share my glory days stories with whoever would listen. Initially, people enjoyed the stories but over time — and multiple retellings — people would stop me in mid-sentence, explaining that they had “heard that one before.” As my awareness and self-worth began to improve I started to look at the stories differently and more realistically. Instead of living in the past, I began to mine the past for its life lessons and use the insights to learn and grow.

EXTREME ESTEEM

It comes down to this: where are you putting your focus? If you’re so invested in the past that it blinds you to seeing and appreciating the wonder of now, you’re in trouble. Imagine going on a road trip but instead of looking out the window, staring into the rearview mirror. Let’s say for the sake of this example that someone else is doing the driving. Instead of experiencing the wonder of what lies ahead — the adventure of what is — your view only includes the past. The results of an impromptu survey conducted among friends and colleagues produced some interesting results. When asked to describe the most memorable events of their life, most people responded with things that happened between the ages of 15 and 25. I think this association is natural. Adolescence and early adulthood is a time of firsts, a time during which we’re making many first-time decisions that will have long-ranging effects on our future. OK. Let’s start by stating the obvious: you can never go back. The past is the past and it’s gone, never to return — ever. Life is not static or, as the old expression goes, time waits for no one. People, places and things can never be re-experienced in the same manner. Don’t miss today while longing for yesterday. There’s a piece of advice I’ve carried with me for years and it has helped me stay grounded in the moment: these are the good old days. That said, here are a few ways to break free from the past. Keep life exciting. You can do this by opening yourself to new people and experiences. When you become bored

with your current situation, that’s the time you start looking backwards. Life is filled with exciting opportunities to learn, grow and succeed. Make today so darn interesting and inspiring that you’ll have no reason to look to the past for fulfilment. Focus on a new goal. Sometimes, if we’ve achieved something momentous, everything else pales in comparison. So stop comparing! Research has shown that we gain more pleasure from pursuing a goal than achieving it. Without goals, our life can lack purpose and direction. Choose a new goal. It needn’t be grandiose. Write it down. Pursue it and make it happen. Let go of illusions. I remember reading once that many of us have a romantic attachment with a time that never existed. The good old days can easily become exaggerated, embroidered upon, deconstructed and reconstructed. In short, we forget the bad and accentuate the good. “Nostalgia is like a grammar lesson,” wrote veteran broadcaster, Owens Lee Pomeroy. “You find the present tense but the past perfect.” (As a writer, I love Pomeroy’s wordplay.) I don’t know if Alvin could have become a world-class runner but I do know that letting go of the past and living in the moment is possible. All it takes is a shift in focus and the realization that the best is yet to be. This moment is our only place of power. Embrace it. Live it fully.

Boredom a bad word, there is always lots to do behind us on the tractor to assure we were doing a standup job of it. And when it comes to physical labour, my parents’ standards are through the roof. Say we managed to muster LINDSAY up the courBROWN age to nonchal a n t l y s w i n g ME PLUS THREE the B-word out to Mother on a scorching summer afternoon. No quicker than we could say “What did you just do?!” to each other with absolute fear dripping off every word, Mama had us weeding her gratuitously large garden. Every row. Every weed. So soon it became an unsaid rule that we simply never use the word. Ever. Even now writing this post, I find it an extremely uncomfortable topic to talk about. And as history and parenting somehow tend to intertwine, here I am many moons later about to implement the very same rule in my home. The way I see it, the word bored could be considered a swearword. It would be about the only one that actually made any sense to censor yourself with. Bored is a feeling — a sentiment — that is completely changeable and duly so. What my parents taught me, maybe without even realizing it, is that it is a shameful thing to admit to boredom.

There I was as a small child with an entire farm at my fingertips. We had small nooks to explore and dogs to chase. We had trees to climb and old decrepit sheds to tell ghost stories in. Not to mention the enchanted forest that was just beyond my back yard. I thank the high heavens my parents did not indulge in my rants of boredom. If they had, I may never have attained the wonderful childhood memories I carry today. The looming threat of manual labour literally saved my imagination. Only those who cannot think for themselves or brainstorm or have the ability to problem solve would confess to dullness in life. To admit boredom would be to admit defeat in day-to-day existence. And who the hell is going to do that? This life is chalk full of adventures just waiting to be discovered. I want to show my children how to take a lame afternoon of bedroom

cleaning and make it a fun-filled musical number just like our good friend Mary Poppins used to do. Or how a completely unremarkable living room set can almost immediately be turned into a fortress that houses the last remains of the dread pirate Hook’s loot. The possibilities are endless; therefore the sheer idea of boredom is relevant to a swift kick to the psyche. And that is why my parents unintentionally banned the word ‘bored’ from mine and my brother’s vocabulary. I intend to do the same for my children. Of course, I’m sure for the first 10 years or so they will loathe my attempts and become annoyed with the relentless drudgery. But eventually they will get it. And eventually they will thank their notably clever mother for teaching them how to be, well, awesome. I did. Lindsay Brown is a Sylvan Lake mother of two and freelance columnist.

“I’m too board to eat lunch.” “I’m too bored to clean my room.” “I’m too bored to play outside.” “I’m too bored to go to sleep.” “I’m too bored I can’t even watch TV.” Somehow my daughter has learned the word ‘bored.’ How she learned this word is beyond me, because since having children I can’t recall one moment where I have felt the sensation of boredom. Therefore I cannot possibly imagine me readily using the saying. To be 100 per cent truthful, I would actually relish in boredom these days. But I suppose then, it wouldn’t be called boredom, would it? But somewhere in her circle of hardcore four-year-old friends or the real ways of the neighbourhood park, little Soph has picked up the jargon. From my recent encounters of her slurring it in my general direction, I believe she thinks the word is used as a form of excuse to get out of things. It seems to me when she is hesitant or unwilling to do something, she will tell me she is too ‘bored’ to indulge in such activity — attempting to put the onus of her discontent on me. Well, if there is one thing I’ve learned since becoming a parent — or even a human being in the broad spectrum of things — there is always a cure for boredom. Growing up, we never dared mumble the word bored. I’m sure this was the case in many of your childhood homes, too. In the off chance we accidently spewed the worse-than-a-swear-word on a snowy Sunday afternoon, mere seconds later we would find ourselves shovelling our nearly one-km-long driveway by hand while Dad followed

Tempeh rivals meat — and tofu — yet North America hasn’t quite embraced the soybean cake’s fermented protein power. Here, Tempeh Reubenesque Salad. INSET: Rarely eaten raw, tempeh is often fried, baked or broiled.

Time for tempeh to shine BY JOE YONAN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

Maybe one day, because of the growing number of people seeking vegetarian meals, meat alternatives, fermented foods or all of the above, a certain soy product with age-old ties to Indonesia will finally break into the North American mainstream. Call it my New Year’s wish. I’m talking about tempeh, the cultured soybean cake with as much protein as beef. If you’ve seen it, it has probably been shrink-wrapped in the refrigerator case at your nearest food store, next to the tofu and the seitan and some veggie “crumble” or another. Or maybe you’ve tasted it in a veggie burger or on a vegan Reuben, or you’ve tried smoky strips marketed as Fakin’ Bacon. What you might not have realized is this: Fermentation makes tempeh quite possibly the most nutritious, digestible form of soy around. It’s also one of the least-processed, using the whole bean (as opposed to tofu, made from soy milk). At least in this month of resolutions and recovery, tempeh should be on your agenda. And it doesn’t need to taste like punishment: Tempeh has much more than nutrition to recommend it, including an earthy, slightly bitter, even somewhat sweet flavor and a firm, nutty texture, giving it more character than tofu will ever possess. Yet, like tofu, it can be a chameleon, soaking up more flavor from marinades and sauces, which makes it surprisingly versatile. If you know how to cook it, that is. Like many vegetarians, I was first drawn to tempeh a few years ago as a plant-based protein. I opened a package of Lightlife brand, cut it into thick slabs, pan-fried it — and watched in awe as it absorbed as much oil as I could put in the pan, and then some. I seasoned it lightly with salt and pepper, took a bite, and . . . . hmm. It was a little dry inside, with a slightly sharp flavour. This obviously was an acquired taste, I figured, which I obviously hadn’t yet acquired. What was I expecting? How many proteins taste all that great after a mere pan-frying? (Bacon lovers, don’t answer that.) Soon enough, I started glazing tempeh after I pan-fried it, usually in a soy-sesame combination or sometimes one of miso, mustard and honey. I liked it much better — enough to cook it now and then, but not often enough to make it as much of a go-to ingredient as, say, beans. It wasn’t until I started treating tempeh as seriously as I do other staples, seeking out tips and recipes, that I began to unlock its potential. Now that I’m falling for tempeh, I’m falling hard. ★★★ It hasn’t been difficult to find fellow enthusiasts. “You’re talking to two tempeh lovers,” said Joy Pierson, who owns New York’s vegan Candle Cafe with her husband, Bart Potenza. “Tempeh, tofu and seitan are the holy trinity of the vegan diet,” Potenza added. “But tempeh is the best.” Amy Chaplin, author of At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen, has been eating tempeh occasionally since her childhood in Australia (and childhood trips to its birthplace of Indonesia). A recipe in her book served as my gateway to a new level of tempeh understanding: marinated in apple juice, mustard, tamari, olive oil and vinegar, then baked in the marinade. The tempeh absorbs every bit, becoming infused with a complex, slightly tart, savory goodness. I made it once, then quickly made it again: I’ve eaten it on salads and sandwiches and as a from-the-fridge snack, and as soon as I run out, I want another batch. To Chaplin, former executive chef of New York’s Angelica Kitchen and now a private chef to such clients as Natalie Portman and Liv Tyler, the keys to tempeh success include cutting it thinly and marinating it. When you treat it right, “it’s so good!” she exclaimed in a phone conversation. “And it’s a much healthier food than tofu. Soy has such a conflicted reputation, so I tell people to just focus on fermented soy.” Fermentation reduces soy’s high levels of phytic

The recipe that can convert doubters: Dijon Mustard-Marinated Tempeh.

Dijon Mustard-Marinated Tempeh MAKES: 2 to 4 servings PREPARATION: The tempeh needs to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 3 days, covered, in the refrigerator. The baked tempeh can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. INGREDIENTS One 8-ounce block plain tempeh 1/2 cup 100 percent apple juice or unsweetened apple cider 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard 1 tablespoon low-sodium tamari 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, preferably unpasteurized

acid, a substance that hinders the body’s ability to absorb minerals. James Oseland, former editor of Saveur and now editor of the rebranded Organic Life magazine, remembers being aware of tempeh in the 1970s, “because I’m a Northern Californian by birth and always had hippie-vegetarian food culture somewhere in the back of my food consciousness. But I had zero idea of the food’s origins and the food’s context.” In 1982, during college, he made the first of what would be dozens of trips to Indonesia and had his first taste of such dishes as sayur lodeh, a coconut vegetable stew that includes fried tempeh. “The tempeh gave it such beautiful texture and flavor and resonance,” he said. “It was definitely odd, and not like the tempeh I knew from the hippie-veg restaurant in Palo Alto, but instead it was a more elegant, logical, really rich-tasting component of this dish.” Tempeh was born on the island of Java, Indonesia, at least several centuries ago (and possibly longer ago than that), for the same reason virtually all fermented products came to be: as a method of preservation. In Oseland’s ode to the cooking of this part of the world, Cradle of Flavor, he includes an account of the first time he saw tempeh being made the traditional way in a village outside Jakarta: fermented in banana leaves, the way it was, and still is, sold at Indonesian markets. Over a two-day period, after the hulled and cooked soybeans are inoculated with a mold, Rhizopus oligosporus, the tempeh ripens in the warmest part of the room and “the cottony, Camembert-like jamur grows around each soybean, making the tempeh cake,” he writes. “The making of the food itself is sort of singu-

STEPS Cut the tempeh into four equal rectangles. Slice each piece in half horizontally to create 8 thin rectangles, then stack the pieces and cut on the diagonal into 16 triangles. Arrange the tempeh in a baking dish in a snug single layer. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together the apple juice or cider, the mustard, tamari, oil and vinegar in a bowl, until emulsified. Pour over the tempeh and marinate for 30 minutes to an hour at room temperature. Bake the tempeh triangles (in their marinade) for 35 to 40 minutes or until the liquid has been mostly absorbed, the tops are golden brown and the edges are dark and caramelized. (Some of the marinade’s oil may remain unabsorbed, but the tempeh will absorb it as it cools.)

larly unspectacular unless you have the advantage of looking at it through time-lapse photography,” he said. “But once the soybeans and the inoculant have become tempeh, then it’s a very magical kind of substance. so pillowy soft with this really gorgeous plump texture, light and yet heavy.” Cookbook author Sri Owen, who was born in Indonesia and now lives in London, remembers first tasting tempeh as a seven-year-old in Java in 1942, after the Japanese occupation of Indonesia plunged the nation into poverty and tempeh was hailed as a cheap, nutritious source of protein. “It was quite ironic later, because when Indonesia became very well off again after independence, tempeh was considered food for poor people, and the middle class and rich looked down on it,” she said. The contempt didn’t take hold, though, and tempeh appreciation spread throughout the islands. Because of the longtime Dutch colonization of Indonesia, tempeh manufacturers opened in the 1960s in the Netherlands. ★★★ With all that rich culture behind it, why hasn’t tempeh caught on in the United States? Theories abound, but near the top of the list has to be the lack of Indonesian restaurants that would introduce diners to tempeh in its original culinary context. Without such, we have relied on translators such as William Shurtleff and his wife, Akiko Aoyagi, founders of the Soyinfo Center in California, who in the 1970s documented the Indonesian origins and spelled out techniques and recipes in The Book of Tempeh,which helped inspire countless Western makers to jump into the market.

Cheap oil dims spirit of energy sector BUT BUSINESSES OPTIMISTIC OVERALL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BANK OF CANADA SURVEY

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada says while plummeting oil prices have darkened the confidence of firms linked to the energy sector, Canadian businesses overall see brighter days ahead. The central bank’s latest business outlook survey, released Monday, found companies in energy-rich Western Canada planned to reduce their investments in equipment and hiring following the oil-price collapse. On the other hand, Eastern and Central Canadian companies said they were planning to invest more, particularly in the manufacturing industry. “Although the balance of opinion on future sales growth declined sharply, it remains positive, indicating that, overall, firms continue to expect a modest further acceleration in sales over the next 12 months,” the Bank of Canada said in its analysis of the survey results.

“Firms located in the Prairies or linked to the energy sector, however, anticipate a moderation in the pace of sales growth in the wake of falling oil prices.” BMO Capital Markets senior economist Benjamin Reitzes noted the survey showed the net percentage of firms expecting higher sales growth over the coming year fell 27 percentage points — to eight per cent. That represents a two-year low, he wrote in a note to clients Monday. Reitzes also pointed to evidence in the results that regional changes are afoot. “The survey highlights the coming shift in growth away from the energy patch in Western Canada toward manufacturing and exports in Central and Eastern Canada,” he wrote. The results were based on the survey of senior managers from about 100

representative firms. It was conducted between Nov. 17 and Dec. 11. CIBC senior economist Peter Buchanan noted in a message to clients Monday that the poll was completed before the “full depths of the drop in oil prices became apparent.” Oil prices recently dipped under US$50 a barrel, a drop of more than 50 per cent from their highs last summer. “Today’s report lends support to our view that the drop in energy markets gives the Bank (of Canada) added ammunition for keeping rates low for longer,” Buchanan wrote. The central bank has not moved its trend-setting interest rate, which sits at one per cent, since September 2010. Last month, Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz said while the country has seen signs of increasing exports, business investment and job creation, it will likely take another

couple of years before the economy will have steady growth with inflation on target. Poloz has also explored the potential impact of tumbling oil prices on the country’s economic outlook, warning the free fall could slow the pace of Canadian GDP growth by a third of a percentage point. The business outlook survey also found companies that expected to benefit — directly or indirectly — from the improving U.S. economy were more optimistic about the future than firms more focused on the domestic market. “Expectations of a strengthening U.S. economic outlook are widespread,” said the central bank’s analysis, which also noted some companies expected the lower Canadian dollar would help them reclaim market share and increase competitiveness. On Monday, the Bank of Canada also released its senior loan officer survey, which showed overall business-lending conditions were largely unchanged in the last quarter of 2014.

Ford GT, Acura NSX among hot cars at auto show BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — The North American International Auto Show begins this week in Detroit with media and industry previews. It opens to the public Jan. 17. Here are some of the new cars and experimental concept vehicles unveiled at the show: HYUNDAI SANTA CRUZ CONCEPT: It’s a crossover in front and a pickup truck in back. Hyundai surprised the auto show with the Santa Cruz, which brought to mind niche vehicles of the past like the Subaru Baja. The Korean automaker thinks the Santa Cruz will appeal to “urban adventurers” and women who occasionally haul stuff but don’t need the capability of a pickup truck. The four-door concept seats five; the bed can expand to the size of a midsize pickup if needed. Under the hood is a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel with 190 horsepower. Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai’s U.S. chief, says the Santa Cruz could be on the road in three years if the company decides to make it. FORD GT: Ford stunned the crowd with its new GT, a high-performance supercar. The lightweight, carbon fiber GT has a twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine that produces more than 600 horsepower. The twoseater has deep, dramatic scoops in the hood and the sides and advanced aerodynamics, including a deployable rear spoiler. It’s Ford’s first GT in more than a decade and one of 12 new Ford performance vehicles coming to

Keystone XL pipeline clears hurdle in U.S. Senate BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON — The Keystone XL pipeline passed a major procedural hurdle in the United States Senate, receiving enough votes Monday to override a filibuster for the first time in the years-long dispute. The chamber agreed to move forward with debate on a bill that would force President Barack Obama to approve the controversial Canadian oil infrastructure. The vote reflects the power of the new Republican majority following the midterm elections, and is the first piece of legislation advanced in the new congressional session. Similar legislation had never managed to attain the filibuster-proof 60 votes under Democratic control — and, on Monday, it cleared that hurdle with 63 votes. But there’s a fly in the ointment for pipeline supporters: Obama has signalled he’ll veto the bill because he says it’s his responsibility, not lawmakers’, to approve or reject cross-border infrastructure. The vote will likely unleash a lively legislative scramble. Lawmakers will attempt to get their hands on the bill, to stuff it with amendments either reflecting their own priorities or designed to gain a few crucial votes. It takes 67 votes to strike down a presidential veto. Major amendments are likely. Some on the left are expected to propose other energy measures or Buy American clauses for pipeline materials. On the right, there’s some early chatter about loosening coal regulations or relaxing a decades-old U.S. restriction on oil exports. Only a fraction of Democrats support the bill. Many are expressing ex-

asperation that a foreign company’s privately owned oil pipeline is the No. 1 piece of legislation introduced by the new majority party. Several members listed a number of other pressing national priorities that the Republicans could have pursued instead, like a highway-funding bill that would create thousands of times more jobs than Keystone. “Thirty-five (permanent) jobs for Americans — you’ve got to be kidding. This is what you’ve got for us?” pipeline opponent Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat, told the chamber after the vote. “The first bill that they take up symbolizes their priorities. You have to wonder, why are they doing this? I believe I know the answer. This is really a big hug and a big kiss to big oil, and Canadian interests. That’s what it’s about.” Some of the most vocal Keystone opponents, like Boxer and Hawaii’s Brian Schatz, actually received big campaign donations from environmental groups or the alternative-energy industry. Those ties drew a disparaging comment from the new chamber leader, Mitch McConnell. The new Senate speaker said it’s time to move forward, now that a Nebraska court case over the route is over. “(This Nebraska court decision) has to be the last conceivable pretext to veto the Keystone jobs bill,” McConnell said. “We’ll send a bipartisan jobs bill to the president.... It may force the president to finally make a difficult choice — between jobs and the middle class, versus the demands of powerful special interests.” Speaking of special interests, money flows both ways. And the cash rained mightily on McConnell’s re-election campaign last year.

BRIEF Loonie drops to April 2009 levels TORONTO — The Canadian dollar closed down sharply Monday, hitting a fresh multi-year low as oil prices continued to retreat amid a bearish price forecast from investment bank Goldman Sachs. The currency lost 0.71 of a cent to 83.56 cents US, its lowest level since late April 2009. The February crude contract in New York fell $2.29 to US$46.07 a barrel after energy analysts at Goldman Sachs reduced forecasts for global benchmark crude prices, predicting inventories will increase over the first half of this year. It forecast that West Texas Intermediate crude — the North American benchmark —will trade at US$41 a barrel and global benchmark Brent at $42 in three months. It had previously forecast WTI at $70 and Brent at $80 for the first quarter. Elsewhere on commodity markets, lower demand prospects sent copper to a 4 ½ year low with the March contract three cents lower at US$2.73 a pound. February gold bullion gained $16.70 to US$1,232.80 an ounce. The loonie failed to find lift from the Bank of Canada’s latest business outlook survey, which said that Canadian businesses overall see brighter days ahead. The survey found Western Canadian companies planned to reduce their investments in equipment and hiring following the collapse in oil prices. On the other hand, Eastern and Central Canadian companies said they were planning to invest more, particularly in the manufacturing industry.

ALFA ROMEO 4C SPIDER: A convertible version of the 4C coupe with a removable carbon-fiber hard top. It has a 1.75-litre turbocharged engine that puts out 237 horsepower mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Spider and the 4C will be difficult to get. FiatChrysler says only 3,000 will be built by hand in Italy, and fewer than half of those will be convertibles. Pricing hasn’t been announced, but expect the Spider to run between $60,000 and $85,000. PORSCHE 911 TARGA 4 GTS and CAYENNE TURBO S: Porsche unveiled a pair of new offerings, including the 911 Targa 4 GTS that packs 430 horsepower and promises zero-to-60 mph acceleration in 4.1 seconds — a hair faster than the current Targa S model. The sports car maker also showed off a Turbo S version of its Cayenne that it says completes the new range of offerings of the SUV, bringing 507 horsepower to the table. VOLKSWAGEN CROSS COUPE GTE CONCEPT: It’s Volkswagen’s third concept previewing a seven-passenger midsize SUV. The goal is to start producing it in the U.S. at the end of 2016. Volkswagen says the five-passenger plug-in hybrid Crosse Coupe GTE, with its upscale, muscular design gives the clearest idea yet of the SUV’s styling.

Satellite radio company Sirius XM Canada posts increase in Q1 profit to $8M TORONTO — Sirius XM Canada Holdings Inc. (TSX:XSR) has reported a big increase in fiscal 2015 first-quarter earnings as increased revenues and lower financing and depreciation and amortization costs more than offset higheer operating expenses and an increase in income taxes. The parent of satellite radio company Sirius XM Canada Inc. says net earnings were $8 million or six cents per share in the quarter ended Nov. 30, up 67 per cent from $4.8 million or four cents in the same prior-year period. Revenue rose 3.3 per cent to just under $79 million from $76.4 million. Commenting on the results in the company’s earnings release, president and CEO Mark Redmond said Monday that management believes the company is positioned for continued growth in fiscal 2015. “We are confident we can deliver year-over-year subscriber growth and increase self-pay ARPU (average revenue per user),” he said, adding that “we are also gaining further traction in the pre-owned vehicle market.” Sirius XM Canada, with more than 2.6 million subscribers, broadcasts more than 120 satellite radio channels featuring sports, news, talk, entertainment and commercial-free music.

The S&P/TSX composite index closed well off the worst levels of the session, falling 119.91 points to 14,265.01 with the energy sector down 4.6 per cent. The February crude contract in New York dropped $2.29 to US$46.07 a barrel — its lowest level since April 2009 — after energy analysts at Goldman Sachs reduced forecasts for global benchmark crude prices, predicting inventories will increase over the first half of this year. It forecast that West Texas Intermediate — the North American benchmark —will trade at US$41 a barrel in three months. It had previously forecast WTI at $70. Oil prices have collapsed since June 2014, falling more than 55 per cent. They have dropped more than 33 per cent just since the end of November, when Saudi Arabia made it clear it would not cut production to support prices. “The speed has been breathtaking,� said David Wolf, portfolio manager, co-manager of Fidelity Canadian Asset Allocation Fund. “And I think one of the reasons that equity markets are struggling with this is because it is a bit reminiscent of what happened in late 2008, so the surrounding memories of that are an economy in free fall, a real demand shock and at that stage the oil prices decline was really telling us something very bad.� But Wolf said it is important to remember that this price shock is rooted in a glut of global oversupply and “markets are underestimating how much of a positive this is going to be to company earnings or economic growth.� Meanwhile, another major energy player is responding to the collapse in oil prices with lower capital spending plans.

Corus CEO retires

A S M O O HOWR

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Corus Entertainment Inc.’s (TSX:CJR.B) longtime president and CEO, John Cassaday, is stepping down as head of the media company this spring. Chief operating officer Doug Murphy will assume the top position when Cassaday exits on March 30. The change, announced ahead of the company’s first-quarter earnings results on Tuesday, comes at the end of Cassaday’s existing contract, which was signed five years ago, he said in an interview Monday. Corus has faced hesitation from large TV advertisers to spend money in recent quarters, a challenge that has affected many traditional media organizations. “We think that when we start to see some sustained economic growth — and we’re hoping to see that in the latter half (of the year) — we’re going to see stronger ad sales on the television side,� Cassaday said. Meanwhile, Cassaday, 61 said his departure leaves him “wanting to do something completely different after an extraordinary career in broadcasting,� though he did not offer any additional details. Cassaday has been the CEO of Corus for 15 years and previously served as president of CTV Television Network in the early 1990s. He was working in the executive ranks of the Campbell Soup Co. when CTV first offered him a job. “They were looking for someone who understood the importance of building relationships with customers and the value of brands,� Cassaday said. During his time at Corus, the CEO has been a proponent of strong branding and negotiated licensing contacts with some of the most prominent cable brands in North America, including Nickelodeon, the Cartoon Network and OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. The Toronto-based company has also become a well-known creator of international children’s content, producing franchises like Beyblade, which had both a TV series and a popular line of to Murphy steps into the CEO position after spending 12 years at Corus where he has overseen the television operations and various other divisions. Previously he worked at the Walt Disney Co. where he was responsible for a plan to grow its theme parks and resorts around the world. Corus owns a slate of radio stations, as well as TV channels like YTV and ABC Spark.

VICTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Texas-based energy giant Exxon Mobil Corp., has submitted plans to develop what could be a $25-billion liquefied natural gas project near Prince Rupert on British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north coast. Exxon and its Canadian partner, Imperial Oil Ltd. (TSE:IMO), outlined a strategy for West Coast Canada LNG, or WCC LNG, in a 141-page report to the provincial governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environmental Assessment Office. Exxon said in the report that it considered eight potential export facility sites in the Kitimat and Prince Rupert areas before deciding to locate at Tuck Inlet, which has a deep-water shipping area and is within easy access to marine transport routes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The) WCC LNG project will leverage the extensive expertise of both Exxon Mobil and Imperial to develop the project resource in a safe and environmentally responsible manner that integrates community engagement into every aspect of the business,â&#x20AC;? the report said. It said Exxon has 40 years of experience developing LNG projects in Qatar, Indonesia and New Guinea and now wants to develop one in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;WCC LNG project believes that

Canada and B.C. are well positioned to further grow domestic gas production and provide globally competitive and sustainable LNG exports to attractive Asian and global markets.â&#x20AC;? The report comes as world oil and gas prices are falling and other major LNG developers, including Malaysian state-owned Petronas, put their B.C. LNG export facility plans on hold. Petronas recently said it supports B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent environmental and tax rules governing LNG, but is taking more time to review its bottom line before making a final investment decision. Exxon said if it decides to go ahead with the WCC LNG project, construction will start in two years and the plant expected to be in operation by 2024. It said between 1,000 and 6,000 construction jobs could be created. B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Natural Gas Development Ministry called Exxonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s submission of its project description to the Environmental Assessment Office a major step forward. The provin ce has formally requested that its environmental assessment process be permitted as a substitute for federal Canadian Environmental Assessment Agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review process. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Act requires federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq to approve the request.

Haiti marks 5th anniversary of earthquake BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — On crowded streets where fragile concrete homes collapsed and anguished people searched through rubble for loved ones, Haitians paused to remember the devastating January 2010 earthquake that shattered much of the teeming capital and surrounding area. At 4:53 p.m., the time five years ago when the 7.0 magnitude quake heaved the ground and upended the lives of millions, many Port-au-Prince residents shared a quiet moment to remember the dead before taking comfort in routines of everyday life. “Five years ago, Haiti was in great pain. I pray for those who died and I thank you God for not taking the lives of my children,” Edline Guervil said with her eyes shut tight during a family prayer at her laundry shop in a hardhit neighbourhood where many of her neighbours died. Hundreds of people attended a Catholic Mass just after dawn at a new church built alongside the ruined National Cathedral, the towering remnants of broken walls still dominating the impoverished Bel Air neighbourhood in downtown Port-au-Prince. “This is the anniversary of the day I can never forget,” Gladys Lambard, who lost her husband and sister in the quake, said as she walked into the church arm-in-arm with her 14-yearold daughter. “The sadness of that day marked me forever.” Yet, as the nation of 10 million marked the fifth anniversary of the quake, a political crisis between Haiti’s president and parliament that has delayed legislative elections threatens to undermine the troubled country’s political stability. President Michel Martelly and opposition lawmakers have been embroiled in a political showdown since 2011, when he was supposed to call a vote for a majority of Senate seats, the entire Chamber of Deputies and local offices. A group of opposition senators who accuse Martelly of trying to undermine the Constitution have blocked a vote that would lead to approval of an electoral law. Parliament’s mandate comes to a close Monday and no law has been authorized to allow a vote. The president, who leaves office next year, could soon sign a decree allowing Haiti to hold legislative elections later this year. On Monday morning, he told The Associated Press that he was losing hope that lawmakers would pass a law in the hours before Parliament dissolves.

Voodoo Priest Herold Josue, also of the National Director of Ethnology Bureau, swings incense as he leads a voodoo ceremony marking the fifth anniversary of the earthquake at the National Ethnology Bureau in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Monday, The ceremony was held at the exact time the quake struck in 2010, at 4:53 p.m. “It’s their responsibility to do it, it’s not mine. I just hope that they do it, but it’s been there for so long that I think we have little chance,” he told AP at a memorial service for earthquake victims at a mass burial site north of the capital. After days of negotiations with opposition figures, the president announced Sunday he had forged a lastminute accord with leaders of four opposition parties, leading to hopes an electoral law could soon be passed. But an emergency parliamentary session scheduled for Monday did not take place. At a memorial service on the national holiday, Martelly contrasted the solidarity Haitians displayed in the immediate aftermath of the quake with the messy political situation it is enduring now. Opposition protesters have repeatedly clashed with riot police in

downtown Port-au-Prince as they press for the president’s departure. “Enough is enough,” Martelly said during his speech, addressing his words to opposition groups orchestrating the street protests. “Give the country a chance, in the name of the all the victims who died five years ago.” Martelly spoke on the northern outskirts of Port-au-Prince, where he and the first lady placed white flowers before a large chunk of rubble set on a concrete pedestal. The site is being developed as a memorial for those who lost their lives. The government has said more than 300,000 people were killed but the exact toll is unknown because there was no systematic effort to count bodies amid the chaos and destruction. Carine Joiceus, a 24-year-old customs worker who attended the memorial Mass in Bel Air, had to have one of

her arms amputated near the shoulder after she was pinned by falling rubble at a university. She has since had two children and says she has learned to live with her disability. “I remember just crying the first year after it happened,” Joiceus said. “But since then, I’m moving ahead with my life and thinking of the future. ” For the country as a whole, the recovery has been uneven. The United Nations says Haiti has received more than 80 per cent of about $12.45 billion pledged by more than 50 countries and multilateral agencies since the disaster, a combination of humanitarian assistance, recovery aid and disaster relief. Parts of the capital are awash in new construction and the number of people in dismal tent camps has dropped from around 1.5 million after the quake to around 80,000.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pope Francis is bringing a message of interreligious and interethnic harmony to a Sri Lanka still recovering from the wounds of a brutal, quarter-century civil war and on the heels of new international religious tensions over the Paris attacks. Hours before Francis departed for his weeklong Asian pilgrimage, he told Vaticanbased diplomats that fundamentalist terrorism was the result of people becoming enslaved by “deviant forms of religion” and using God as an ideological pretext to perpetuate mass killings. Francis is expected to nevertheless press his call for greater dialogue among people of different faiths during his visit to Sri Lanka, a mostly Buddhist Indian Ocean island nation that has Hindu, Muslim and Catholic minorities and a long history of Christianity

because of its 400 years of Portuguese, Dutch and British colonial rule. Francis arrives Tuesday morning in a dramatically different Sri Lanka than what the Vatican expected just days ago after the country’s longtime president was upset in an election he had called. New Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena, who capitalized on former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s unpopularity among ethnic and religious minorities, will be on hand to welcome Francis when he arrives in the capital, Colombo. Francis has a busy first day, including an arrival speech and a meeting with the country’s bishops. The main event is an meeting with representatives of its major religious groups. There, he’s expected to call for harmony and dialogue among the country’s Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and Catholics amid a surge in anti-Muslim violence by fundamentalist Buddhists.

SCHITT’S CREEK

Levy thrilled by chance to work with son BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Eugene Levy was surprised when his son Daniel first approached him about collaborating on the riches-to-rags comedy Schitt’s Creek. “My heart was palpitating because I thought, ‘Is he asking me to work with him on a show? I never thought I’d hear this,”’ recalled the Canadian funnyman in a recent interview. The Levys began working on the script three years ago but weren’t sure the show would ever materialize. Now that Schitt’s Creek is premiering Tuesday on CBC, the proud papa couldn’t be more thrilled. “It went from a nice father-son project to a discovery that (Daniel) is a great producer and a great writer and an amazing actor,” Levy said. Eugene Levy stars as Johnny Rose, a wealthy video store magnate who loses everything in a Ponzi scheme and is forced to move his family to a crudelynamed backwater town B-— Schitt’s Creek — which he once bought as a joke for his hipster son David (Daniel Levy). Fellow SCTV alum Catherine O’Hara plays family matriarch Moira, a pampered soap star, while newcomer Annie Murphy rounds out the cast as socialite daughter Alexis. The comedy’s dry tone is inspired by the films he co-wrote with Christopher Guest, including Best in Show and A Mighty Wind, said the older Levy. He described the show as “totally character-driven and grounded to a great degree in truth.” Daniel Levy, best known for cohosting MTV Canada’s The After Show, echoed this idea. He wanted Schitt’s Creek to be a “funny but real” exploration of a rich family losing all their money — and thought his dad’s comedic chops would be a good fit. “I think everything he’s done with Chris Guest, and all the character work he’s done with Second City and SCTV, there’s just such a lovely truth and an honesty and reality to everything he does,” he said. “Collectively, we were able to bring two different worlds to the show: a younger world and a more sophisticated, worldly world. Those two paths sort of met up on this really nice parallel journey together.” O’Hara has known the younger Levy all his life and is proud of his work on Schitt’s Creek. She said the 31-year-old isn’t just following in his father’s footsteps. “He’s got his own footsteps going,” she said. “That’s been really a lovely, delightful surprise, is seeing how really great at this Daniel is. This could have gone really wrong. ‘Oh, just because you’re Eugene’s son, you’re getting your own show. Is that it?”’ Asked whether he felt added pressure because of his famous father, Levy said he — luckily — had been so busy making the show that he hadn’t had a spare moment to worry. “If I actually gave it a second’s thought as to who I was working with and the calibre of talent that I was being thrown into, I probably would have freaked out a lot. But there was no time for it,” he said with a laugh. “It’s been a very intense, full-on experience.”

A movie still from the documentary ‘The Last Song Before The War.’

Mali’s Festival in the Desert captured on film BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES At a computer in Bamako, Mali, Manny Ansar couldn’t help smiling. A reporter had asked by email whether Ansar — the co-founder and director of Mali’s Festival in the Desert — had seen The Last Song Before the War, a documentary about the festival’s 2011 edition, directed by Kiley Kraskouskas of Falls Church, Virginia. In fact, he watches it often. Hence his smile, which he mentioned, emailing back in French. Ansar noted that The Last Song Before the War is by no means the only substantial film about the festival, which is currently in exile following violent developments in northern Mali in 2012. So far, Ansar said, “there have been at least a half dozen” films, not counting smaller documentary programs. “But honestly,” he added, speaking of Last Song, “this film is, for me, the most complete. Unlike others filmed around the same time, it is entirely focused on the festival itself. It touched on every aspect of the festival — its origins, its day-to-day content, even the geographical steps involved in getting there, without ever forgetting the politico-social context” of the festival’s 2011 incarnation. A visually rich concert film, featuring performances by such musicians as Vieux Farka Touré; and Tinariwen, supplemented by interviews with Ansar and others, Last Song traveled the festival circuit in 2013 and 2014.

BRIEF CBS executive says Two and a Half Men plans surprises for finale; will Sheen be one? PASADENA, Calif. — Charlie Sheen left Two and a Half Men amid great drama. Whether he’ll return for the show’s last episode is a mystery. CBS entertainment chief Nina Tassler ducked the question when pressed at a meeting Monday of the Television Critics Association. “I can promise you there will be a lot of surprises,” Tassler said. Series executive producer Chuck Lorre has promised to deliver “what he’s calling a ’mystery sandwich,”’ she added. Two and a Half Men, which once

month sees a planned release on DVD and via Vimeo on Demand. The scheduled release comes four years after the Last Song team traveled to the festival on the outskirts of Timbuktu. Kraskouskas’s co-producers — Leola Calzolai-Stewart and Andrea Papitto — had spent time in Mali and were interested in documenting the festival, which launched in 2001. About a year after the shoot, in 2012, Islamist militants (originally aligned with Tuareg rebels) took over swaths of northern Mali, banning more or less all music and driving many musicians into exile. A 2013 French military intervention helped Mali’s government push the Islamist militants back, and there have been peace negotiations with Tuareg separatists, but instability and sporadic violence have continued in the country’s north. Although the 2012 edition of the festival took place (Bono was there), subsequent iterations did not, ceding to traveling Festival in Exile and Cultural Caravan for Peace programming to locations around the world. The fighting and the suspension of the on-site festival were heartbreaking for the filmmakers, Kraskouskas recalled. “We were trying to make a film that would tell a positive story about economic development and culture in Africa,” she said. A story about war in Africa was “the last film the three of us wanted to make!” The colleagues did an edit of the film, she said, “that really went into the weeds of (the turmoil), and then we realized that it just wasn’t working,

because we had shot an entire concert film — we didn’t shoot a film about the rebellion.” So, working partly out of an editing room in Silver Spring, Maryland, they did a new cut, aiming “to bring the viewer through what we experienced in 2011, which is this great joy,” Kraskouskas said. So, while Last Song does explain the conflict of recent years, it spends more time reveling in music and the festival’s atmosphere. Guitarist Vieux Farka Touré; gets substantial time in the spotlight. Emailing while on tour in India, Touré; said he cherishes memories of times at the festival when he was “just jamming onstage with all these great musicians from across Mali, from across the different ethnic groups.” In his view, the festival stands for tolerance, diversity and “great music and joy.” He noted that he is hopeful about Mali’s future. “Mali has a very strong culture, maybe the strongest in the world,” Touré; said. “We have lived with our customs for hundreds and even thousands of years. We are not going to change for anyone or anything.” Ansar, too, is sanguine. While “the danger of extremism is still there,” he said, refugees and other Malians are weary of crisis, and the government “has the political will to resolve problems in a durable fashion.” “Even if it proceeds more slowly than one might like, one must recognize that we are in a logical process to arrive at peace,” he said.

reigned as TV’s top-rated comedy, wraps its 12th and final season this spring. Sheen was fired in 2011 by studio Warner Bros. Television because of his erratic personal life and public ridicule of his bosses, including Lorre. Charlie Harper, Sheen’s character, left along with him: Harper was hit by a subway train in Paris and killed.

Insult comic dog to get own show PASADENA, Calif. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog is getting his own sitcom, and he’ll have former 30 Rock actor Jack McBrayer to “poop on” on a regular basis. Adult Swim, the latenight, adult-oriented arm of the Cartoon Network, said Saturday it will air The Jack and Triumph Show starting Feb. 20. McBrayer plays a grown-up child star of a Lassie type show with Triumph, the puppet created by former Conan O’Brien writer Robert Smigel, as his washed-up canine companion. Smigel hides behind chairs and other furniture on the sitcom set to “play” Triumph, the Don Rickles-type puppet that first emerged on O’Brien’s late-night NBC show in 1997. McBrayer, who played the cheerful, innocent intern on 30 Rock, once appeared on an O’Brien segment being insulted by Triumph and it turned out to be one of the puppet’s most successful segments, Smigel said. “It seemed insane, but somehow with Jack it turned out to be attractive,” Smigel said.

Golden Globes award streaming shows MAJOR BROADCAST NETWORKS SHUT OUT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Golden Globes took a stand for underdogs in its television awards Sunday by honouring streaming services with two major acting awards and for making the best comedy, as well as rookie actress Gina Rodriguez of the CW’s Jane the Virgin. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association honoured pay and basic cable networks, online companies, public broadcasting — every possible service, it seems, except the dominant broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. Amazon’s Transparent won best comedy and Jeffrey Tambor, who plays a transgender man who hasn’t told his adult children about his journey, earned the Globe for best comic actor. Visibly moved, Tambor thanked the Globes for putting the series on the map and dedicated his award to the transgender community. “Thank you for your courage, thank you for your inspiration, thank you for your patience and thank you for letting us be part of the change,” Tambor said. The series creator, Jill Soloway, expressed hope that the award will “teach the world something about authenticity and truth and love.” It was a red-letter day for Rodriguez, who plays the title role in Jane the Virgin, about a girl artificially inseminated by mistake. Not only did she beat much-honoured stars like Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Lena Dunham as best comedy actress, the CW network announced earlier on Sunday that the series had been picked up for its second season. Rodriguez is the second Latina actress to win the award in this category, after America Ferrara of Ugly Betty in 2007. “This award is so much more than myself,” said Rodriguez, who thanked her parents for allowing her to follow her dreams. “It represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes.” The Showtime series The Affair, also in its first year, was honoured as best television drama. Ruth Wilson, who plays the waitress who becomes involved with a mar-

Actor Kevin Spacey, after eight nominations, took home a Globe as best actor in a drama for his role as politico Francis Underwood in Netflix’s House of Cards. He briefly dipped into character as he grabbed his trophy. “This is just the beginning of my revenge!” he said. Actor Matt Bomer won a Globe as best supporting actor in a TV movie for playing a New York Times reporter with the AIDS virus in HBO’s The Normal Heart. He thanked his husband and three children from the stage. FX’s movie adaptation of Fargo won the

Globe for best television movie or miniseries, beating out three high-profile HBO series in the category. Billy Bob Thornton, who plays Lorne Malvo in the series set in rural Minnesota, won for best actor in a miniseries or movie and kept his acceptance speech safe and short. “You can say anything in the world and get in trouble,” Thornton said. “I know this for a fact. So I’m just going to say thank you.” Joanna Froggatt won best supporting actress for her role of Anna Bates in PBS’ Downton Abbey. Her character was raped in the show last season, and Froggatt said in accepting her award that she had heard from several real-world victims of rapes in the aftermath of the episodes. She said she hoped the award would let them know that 5 x 6” ad their voices had been heard.
