Windrows spark anger

Anglin drops bid to run for PCs PARTY NOT THE RIGHT FIT FOR INDEPENDENT MLA BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

the new policy, which also involves leaving smaller windrows on both sides of the streets, rather than alternating sides of the streets. The city does make breaks in the windrows for back lane access, fire hydrants and where residents have an on-street city-approved handicapped sign. Pogmore said her husband Bill, 86, shovelled the driveway out the first time. “But it’s really hard for him to do that. He does it but this is hard frozen ice.”

Progressive Conservatives and MLA Joe Anglin have parted ways. On Thursday, both the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta (PCAA) and Anglin announced they were not the right fit. The PCs released a statement that said allowing Anglin to run for nomination in the Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre riding “is not in the best interest of the PCAA.” At the 2014 PC annual general meeting, a constitutional amendment was passed requiring candidates to be approved to run only if it is in the best interests of the PCAA. Anglin left the Wildrose Party caucus in November after a falling out with the party, became an independent MLA, and recently decided to run for the PC nomination in his riding. On Wednesday, the three candidates seeking the PC nomination for Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre — Anglin, Tammy Cote and Terry Engen — had face-to-face meetings with the PCAA nomination committee. Anglin said the meetings were really good, but both sides came away recognizing it wasn’t going to work. “I could not reconcile how I would be a PC MLA, and neither could they. I am not their type of MLA,” said Anglin on Thursday. He said a sticking point in their discussions was his decision to not cross the floor to the PCs when he left the Wildrose Party. He left the Wildrose shortly before 11 other Wildrose members, including leader Danielle Smith, all crossed over to the Tories.

Norm Gould pitches a shovel full of snow over the sidewalk along 42 street crescent. Gould along with his partner Sharon Gusafson, right, were helping Gustafson’s sister and other neighbors along the street remove windrows plowed up along the roadway by the City of Red Deer Thursday afternoon. Many of the residents along the street were upset the city plowed the snow into windrows in front of their driveways. They said in the past two previous years the city completely removed the snow from the street after plowing. BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Seniors faced with heavy, icy windrows blocking their driveways were upset on Thursday with the City of Red Deer. The city is in the midst of its second residential snow plowing this winter. One senior, 85-year-old Vi Pogmore, said she stood in front of the grader because she didn’t want her townhouse driveway blocked in Parkvale on 42nd Street Crescent. “How else am I going to stop them from plowing my driveway or get some

action?” said Pogmore. The angry seniors all live on 42nd Street Crescent downtown. Pogmore has lived there for 20 years. This is the first year the city has plowed the crescent and left windrows on driveways, she said. The city revamped its snow clearing policy this winter in order to speed up the process and clear residential streets more often. In the past, it cleared the windrows from driveways. “This is their new policy. Just plow and block the driveways,” Pogmore said. The city did its first residential streets plow earlier this winter under

Woman saved by co-workers after going into cardiac arrest Everyone should have a co-worker like Kira Fedun. Bonnie Andersen certainly can’t say enough about Fedun, who sprang into action when Andersen collapsed at work. Costco employee Andersen, 47, said she was working in the store’s photo lab at about 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 6 when she fainted to the floor and went into cardiac arrest. “I didn’t feel anything weird before I fell. It didn’t feel like I was having a heart attack or anything,” said Andersen. That’s when Fedun came to the res-

cue. Fedun began CPR on Andersen, yelled for someone to get her the onsite automated external defibrillator (AED) and call for an ambulance. Fedun shocked Andersen three times with the defibrillator. She also performed two-man CPR with the help of another co-worker Steven Sandor before the arrival of emergency workers who just happened to be in the area. “Without her, I probably wouldn’t have had a chance. I think the shocks are what helped. Having the defibrillator probably saved me because it shocked my heart and that’s what my heart needed.”

BRIAN MALLEY MURDER TRIAL

Testimony centres on concrete pouring BY ADVOCATE STAFF Two former co-owners of a concrete finishing company testified on Thursday in the trial of the man accused in the bombing death of an Innisfail woman. Larry Veinotte and James Cernah had a concrete business and worked with an Edmonton area homebuilder who knew Brian Malley, 57. Their testimony in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench revolved around how they protect a gas line while pouring concrete. Cernah said it is standard to use PVC piping for this practice. Defence counsel Bob Aloneissi asked Veinotte if metal was stronger and could also be used as a protective barrier, to which Veinotte agreed. Malley is on trial on first-degree murder charges in the bombing death of Victoria Shachtay, 23, on Nov. 25, 2011. It is alleged that he built a pipe bomb out of a six-inch long, two-inch in diameter steel nipple — pipe with threading at both ends — among other components. Veinotte and Cernah were asked to pour concrete at Malley’s mother-in-law’s house in Edmonton. The concrete pad near the foundation had sunk and the aim was to get water flowing away from the house. Veinotte and Cernah said they usually pour four inches of concrete, however they had to pour more because of the sunken part. Cernah said Malley had prepped the area and all they had to do was pour and finish the concrete. Veinotte said they poured about seven to nine inches close to the home. Cernah said it was about seven inches but when questioned by Aloneissi, admitted it was at least four inches. Shachtay died when she opened a Christmas gift left on her doorstep. The gift disguised a pipe bomb, which detonated when it was opened. The trial continues today in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench.

ANGLIN: Plans to talk to supporters “It just violated the very principles I stood for, and I refused to do it,” said Anglin who has said in the past that voters didn’t elect him as a member of the Progressive Conservatives. “That is a substantive difference that could not be reconciled.” Anglin said he plans to talk to his supporters over the next week or so before he decides whether to run as an independent MLA. “It’s hard for me to imagine I won’t run independent, but I’ll want to see what the support is. “Parties are like shoes and right now I can’t find a shoe that fits. And I like being an independent. I’ve been more effective for my constituents as an independent.” Cote and Engen were both approved to seek the PC nomination and the vote will be held Feb. 21. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Karli Kendall, Paul Sutherland and Nicole Leal react after Kendall had a turn at playing Bopit Extreme during the Retro Gaming Night at the downtown branch of the Red Deer Public Library on Thursday. The special one night event had participants playing a variety of video, board and handheld games. Some of the games featured at the event included Pac Man, Space Invaders, Wii, XBox 360, Mario Starcatcher and others. Its a fun way to get people into the library said library adult services manager Briana Ehnes, ‘And who doesn’t like retro video games?’ she added.

Wildrose executive turns down former Tory Rob Anders’ application for leader EDMONTON — Alberta’s Opposition Wildrose party has rejected the application of a former Tory MP to run for leader. Party president Jeff Callaway says the executive committee has voted unanimously to not accept Rob

Syndrome, which causes abnormal heart rhythm and can lead to cardiac arrest. She had surgery in Foothills Hospital in Calgary on Dec. 22 to implant a combination pacemaker and defibrillator and was released from hospital on Dec. 24. “I can’t believe they can attach that to my heart. It’s about the size of a pager. It’s crazy.” Andersen is scheduled to return to work next week at Costco, where she has been employed for 11 years. She can’t wait to be back among with her co-workers, who took up a collection for her while she was recuperating. “I miss them. They’re just amazing. I can’t brag about them enough. They are my family. They support you and care about you.” And Anderson will be forever grateful to Fedun. “She basically saved me life, and saved a few others before me.” Fedun once performed the Heimlich manoeuvre on a man choking on a hotdog, and she assisted a woman who had an epileptic seizure in the parking lot, Andersen said. “My boss said if she wasn’t there, he didn’t think I would have lived. Not everyone steps up. They just sit back and hope someone else will help you. She doesn’t do that. “She is just amazing.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

FEDUN: Pretty frightening WINDROWS: ‘I’ve cooled off situation a bit’ Fedun said it was a pretty frightening situation, but by working together with other people at the store, their efforts were successful. “I knew something was wrong, and needed to help, so that’s what I did,” Fedun said. Andersen’s heart stopped beating for several minutes. She didn’t start breathing again until emergency workers arrived and took over. Meanwhile, the store was full of customers shopping for the holiday season. Employees arranged poinsettias around the photo lab to try to protect Andersen’s privacy during the emergency. “Some of my co-workers said it was like a movie, something you would see on TV.” Andersen was eventually diagnosed with Long QT

She called the city to complain after the first plowing but was told she would have to hire a private company to move the snow if she was unable to do it herself, she said. “Most seniors are on a restricted income. We are paying healthy taxes in this area and why should we have to pay three or four hundred dollars for a private concern to come and clear out driveways if we are not able to do it ourselves”” Everyone who lives along the crescent is a senior and many cannot shovel, said Pogmore. Her neighbour, Connie Bergen, 73, has emphy-

Anders’ leadership application. Callaway says in a news release that the vote happened after the committee reviewed Anders’ application and interviewed the former Calgary MP. He says Anders was deemed ineligible to be a candidate for the Wildrose. Wildrose rules stipulate all candidates must have been party members for at least six months before the vote and Anders doesn’t meet that requirement. Wildrose will pick a new leader June 6. sema and uses an oxygen tank. “I’m OK. I’ve cooled off a bit,” she said when the Advocate returned her call. Bergen said the piles of snow are at least two feet (30 cm) high. She said the city plows dug the snow out of the centre of the street and furrowed it up on both sides, blocking the driveways. “If city council made this rule, then city council ought to be prepared and come out and shovel our driveways out,” Bergen said. A neighbour was checking to see what it would cost to get it trucked out, she said. “Why do we have to pay that? We’d be better off if they left the snow on the street because we’ve been going back and forth out of here and nobody’s got stuck. Might as well just leave the snow on the street instead of making a furrow.” “What would be better for us is if they left a furrow in the middle instead of out in front of each people’s driveways. We’re all seniors in here.” She already pays to have her sidewalks and driveway shovelled when it snows. Someone comes by but she doesn’t have a contact number for him. When the first plowing was done earlier, Bergen said she drove her vehicle back and forth over the windrow to pack it down and be able to drive out. Public Works manager Greg Sikora said the city has received only a few complaints about this winter’s residential plowing. He was through the 42nd Street Crescent area on Thursday and said the windrows are below 14 inches, which is the height the city aims for. While there, he said he helped one person get out of her driveway. Sikora said it’s a tradeoff. Under the previous policy, it would take the city 40 to 50 days to clear residential streets. Now the policy requires all residential streets with a snowpack of 10 cm to be plowed to five cm within 15 days. The result is a smooth, drivable surface that allows people access into their neighbourhood without problems such as washboard and possible collisions. Sikora said people who need help with clearing their driveways can turn to their neighbours, families, community groups, churches and agencies such as the Golden Circle. And for those who have the means, there is a list of contractors on the city’s website, he said. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Prentice to find Albertans not OK with County urged to cuts as another oil boom goes bust: NDP LACOMBE COUNTY

support study on airport benefits BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Lacombe County was lobbied on Thursday to join a committee reviewing the potential of the Lacombe Airport. Representatives from the City of Lacombe and the airport made a presentation to council requesting county financial support for a study on the benefits of the airport, its role in regional transportation, and how it fits into long-term urban planning. Comparisons with similar sized airports would also be included. About $540,000 worth of improvements have been identified by airport users, including new lighting, a new taxiway and paving. Norma MacQuarrie, Lacombe’s chief administrative officer, said they want to do a cost-benefit analysis and see consultant recommendations before considering projects of that scope. The city has committed $12,500, estimated at half the cost of a facility review. The flying club anticipates it can put in around $2,500. Flying club member Dave Scott said that besides its members, the airport is used by the RCMP, STARS and crop sprayers. MacQuarrie said the airport serves as a regional facility. However, county Coun. Brenda Knight questioned whether $25,000 would be enough for the kind of study they are seeking. Knight suggested that one of the first jobs for the committee that has been formed to get the feasibility review off the ground should be to get a detailed cost estimate. Coun. Rod McDermand agreed more number crunching should be done before the county can consider its financial involvement. “I just don’t think we should be sticking to a number (yet).” McDermand earlier voiced doubts about the facility’s contribution. “It’s a very expensive public facility for very few.” While there was general support for participating in the committee, council unanimously voted to hold off on any commitment until administration return with a report at its next meeting in two weeks. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Alberta NDP says Premier Jim Prentice will find Albertans less forgiving the second time around if he wants to slash his way out of low oil prices. New Democrat Brian Mason says people remember job losses and service cuts when former premier Ralph Klein pared budgets to the bone to address deficits in the 1990s. “Anyone that was around during that period will remember the pain, will remember the terrible cuts to our services, the losses of jobs, losses of homes (and the) breakup of families,” Mason said Thursday. “People accepted it then because they thought it was a first-time occurrence, something that we just weren’t expecting and we needed to deal with.” But for the next two decades a succession of Progressive Conservative governments have promised, but failed, to disconnect Alberta’s day-to-day spending from volatile oil prices, Mason said. “It’s been entirely predictable. The government has had nearly 20 years to fix things so that it never

happened again, so I don’t think that Albertans are prepared to accept the kind of strong medicine that Jim Prentice is trying to administer.” Prentice has warned for months that strong steps must be taken to combat low oil prices that have taken an estimated $7 billion out of the budget. On Wednesday, Finance Minister Robin Campbell announced there will be a nine per cent cut in departmental spending across the board in next year’s budget, which is to be tabled in March. Prentice has initiated talks with leaders of Alberta’s public-sector unions and called wages for teachers, nurses and other civil servants unsustainable in times of low oil prices. Union leaders have said they are not interested in a repeat of the 1990s when public-sector workers took voluntary wage cuts to save jobs only to be laid off anyway. “We lost thousand and thousand of jobs,” said Heather Smith, president of the United Nurses of Alberta. “It’s a case of fool me once.” Mark Ramsankar, head of the Alberta Teachers’ Association, noted teachers already took a threeyear wage freeze.

Appeal to focus on health of lake BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

Budget cuts mean new schools unlikely to be built: teachers union CALGARY — The head of the Alberta Teachers’ Association says budget cuts announced by Premier Jim Prentice could make it even harder for teachers to do their jobs. Mark Ramsankar says it will be difficult to find enough staff and resources for dozens of new schools promised by the government if spending is slashed. Ramsankar says teachers are already concerned about lack of infrastructure and overcrowded classrooms. He also says the union will be pushing to restart contract talks. Teachers have faced a wage freeze for the last three years. Ramsankar suggests the budgetary committee needs to come up with a better solution. “It shows a real lack of leadership and responsibility on behalf of this government,” he said.

Lacombe County will limit its appeal of a Sylvan Lake development plan to specific issues of concern, said county commissioner Terry Hager. “Our intent is not to hold up development in the Town of Sylvan Lake,” said Hager, in an update to council on Thursday. “We’re interested primarily in the protection of the lake and that’s what we’re going to focus on.” The county is appealing parts of a Municipal Development Plan adopted by Sylvan Lake council last December. Concerns have been raised that the plan does not go far enough in protecting the lake, by requiring 30-metre setbacks from riparian areas and preserving 50 per cent of the land in new developments as open spaces and municipal reserves. The county also wants to see it put in writing that new developments must connect to a regional wastewater line when it becomes available. A further issue is the plan’s requirement of outline plans only for developments two hectares (4.97 acres) or larger. In the county’s view, “These could lead to ad-hoc developments that result in poorly serviced, incompatible parcels within the urban fabric. The county asked that the town consider requiring all new and infill developments to prepare an outline plan.” Hager said representatives from the two municipalities have yet to meet on the appeal, but the county confirmed it will not object to the whole plan. Both sides intend to enlist a mediator to try to reach a compromise. “Hopefully, we can resolve these issues through the mediation process as opposed to going through the Municipal Government Board hearing.” The board is a quasi-judicial body that rules on municipal disputes and issues such as annexation requests. Coun. Brenda Knight said it may be time for municipalities around Sylvan Lake to start work on an intermunicipal development plan to put everyone on the same planning page. A similar effort was launched two decades ago and years were spent negotiating without reaching agreement on an intermunicipal plan. Agreement on a Sylvan Lake Management Plan, which offered guidelines but not enforceable regulations, was eventually adopted. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

COMMENT

Is Eve Adams a Liberal? Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau stunned more than a few Liberals on Monday when he presented Eve Adams — a defector from Stephen Harper’s backbench who had run out of options to run for the Conservatives next fall — as a prize catch. The Toronto area MP’s main claim to political fame to date had been a futile nomination quest that was CHANTAL rife with enough HÉBERT alleged dirty tricks to force the Conservatives to call time out on the local hostilities. Since Trudeau’s announcement, confusion has given way to consternation at the notion that Adams could become the party’s standard-bearer in a high-profile battle against Finance Minister Joe Oliver next fall. On Wednesday, Adams confirmed she would be seeking the Liberal nomination in the riding of Eglinton-Lawrence.

INSIGHT

If she wins, the battle for the Toronto riding will; a) be one of the most watched in the country; b) pit a former Conservative backbencher with few economic credentials against the business-savvy finance minister. Economic competence is expected to be a key theme of the next campaign. There is not a poll that does not give Harper the advantage over Trudeau on that central front. The optics of an Oliver/Adams battle for Eglinton-Lawrence will do little to change that perception. Oliver, who came late to politics after a corporate career, may not be a natural politician but he is undeniably qualified to be the country’s finance minister. Adams, on the other hand, has never been on anyone’s A-list for cabinet. Nor had she — until Monday — exhibited discomfort with any aspect of the Conservative economic orthodoxy. Indeed, in one of her final acts as a government MP last Wednesday, Adams opposed a Liberal motion to restore the integrity of the census ... on a free vote. Mike Colle — the riding’s Liberal MPP — has called Adams’ bid “preposterous” and vouched that she would become the federal Liberal nominee

“over his dead body.” If social media is any indication, he was not only speaking for himself. Since Monday, Trudeau’s move has been savaged in editorials and columns in both official languages — with some of the sharpest criticism coming from sources usually sympathetic to his party. Montreal’s La Presse may be the most Liberal-friendly French-language paper in Quebec. But on Wednesday, its chief editorialist André Pratte called Adams’ recruitment a breach of Trudeau’s most fundamental promise: that of doing away with old-style politics. Pratte noted that Adams first ran for Harper in 2011, after he had been in power for more than five years. By then, the brass-knuckles approach to politics that she says has driven her to the Liberals was already well documented. Former Conservative insider Dimitri Soudas has followed his fiancée into the Liberal fold. Pratte argues that he is the very type of Conservative political operator that Trudeau should have been expected to keep at bay. It seems that the Liberal strategists who masterminded this move continue to believe that the sight of a former Harper confidante such as Soudas in

the Liberal camp will mess with the heads of the prime minister’s palace guard. Maybe, but so far the heads that are being messed with are mostly Liberal ones. On Monday, Adams made her Liberal coming-out alongside Trudeau over the course of a well-publicized Parliament Hill news conference. Given the red carpet he rolled out for her floor crossing, it was hard not to conclude that she would be the leader’s horse in any nomination race. But by Wednesday, a Liberal insider was insisting that all she had obtained was a pass to run for the nomination in Eglinton-Lawrence — with no guarantee of an easy passage. Oliver will turn 75 in the spring. As finance minister, he stands on the top rung of the cabinet ladder. For those two reasons, many observers had kept an asterisk next to his name in the reasonable belief that he could still decide to bow out of politics once he has delivered the budget later this spring. But that was before Trudeau set in motion a scenario for the riding of Eglinton-Lawrence that Conservative central casting could only have dreamed of.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We are a nation of immigrants; newcomers not the root of crime Re: MPs, MLAs must end crime, Advocate, Feb. 5, 2015. This letter is disturbing because when the author links crime to the problems of the current economic downturn, he incorrectly points to immigration as the root cause. Dennis Combs starts by giving us a figure of 105,000 people entering the province in the last year. He compares this number to the size of a small city, the infrastructure of which he assumes will have to be provided at the expense of the existing inhabitants of the province. Most immigrants move from one province to another or from one country to another because there is a shortage of labour. Companies regularly advertise for immigrants, most of whom are well educated and trained. Arriving immigrants join the existing workforce in the production of wealth and the output of this workforce depends on the amount of investment in machinery, which vastly increases its productivity. This is the manner in which Canada was constructed. We are a nation composed mainly of immigrants or their descendents and without whom there would be no Canada, as we know it. Combs throws the kitchen sink at immigrants, linking them with drive-by shootings, home invasions, drug dealers, car thieves, welfare recipients and aids. The only surprise was that he did not include the threat of the Ebola virus. He probably expects us to take seriously his assertion that we have magistrates and judges who keep turning violent criminals loose to prey on us and on our children. To Combs, it seems that Albertans sit around worrying about living in a ‘colony’ of Ontario and Quebec while not spending enough time and thugery knocking crime out of our children. We should, it seems, also emulate China, producing wealth with the labour of those convicted of crime. The problem is that Chinese hellhole prisons do not rehabilitate people or create wealth; the immense growth in China was from massive investment in the means of production. The economic downturn and the plunge in the price of oil are caused by falling incomes and the lack of demand in the marketplace. Unfortunately, there are those who, when failing to understand the reasons for present economic situation, look instead for scapegoats. If we examine the economic situation in Europe we observe a decline in the support for traditional political parties, an increase in the support of ordinary people for new parties and also, worryingly, increased support for extreme racist, anti-immigration, nationalist parties. Political parties that represent ordinary working people, including immigrants, have a responsibility to give answers and economic alternatives. As history clearly demonstrates, intolerance is a slippery slope. Keith Norman Wyatt Innisfail

Protect our religious freedoms “If it wasn’t for lawyers, we wouldn’t need lawyers,” is a humorous saying, and also somewhat factual. Many Canadian citizens, if not all, have had to involve a lawyer in some aspect of their personal and/ or business lifetime. For some, the experience was good, for others it proved awful. Are lawyers trustworthy? Surely, some are, some

are not. Did you know that hundreds of prominent lawyers and corporate executives from across Canada have joined a club called Legal Leaders For Diversity? These lawyers and executives are employed by 70 prominent companies, some of which you and I may be doing business with right here in Red Deer. So what are these misguided lawyers and executives up to? Well, in short, they have banded together to launch an assault on freedom of religion in Canada specifically Christian religion. Let me explain in more detail what is happening. Trinity Western University (TWU) is a faith-based Christian university located in B.C.’s lower mainland.

They don’t require huge expense,” he said. “They simply require a more focused attention to how to respond to natural disaster situations.”

The Mounties say the guns could have posed a hazard, as there were reports of break-ins and thefts, and over 300 people — including one high-risk offender — refused to evacuate. Under the Criminal Code, such seizures did not require a warrant, but officers failed to take the necessary next step of reporting their actions to a judge. In addition, RCMP members exceeded their authority by seizing some guns that were properly secured or that were not “in plain view,” the commission found. In all, 609 firearms were taken from 105 homes. “While RCMP members, acting on their own initiative and with little guidance, may have acted with public safety in mind, they nonetheless failed to comply with legal requirements concerning the seizure of firearms,” the report said.

Coroner recommends sprinklers BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

QUEBEC

MONTREAL — A Quebec coroner says all certified seniors’ homes in the province, old and new, should be equipped with automatic sprinkler systems to avoid tragedies like the one that killed 32 people a little over a year ago. Cyrille Delage said in his final report into the fire at the L’Isle Verte, Que., home that while sprinklers “don’t solve all the problems,” they can at least slow the progression of the flames. Fire swept quickly through the home in the early morning hours of Jan. 23, 2014. The residence housed 52 elderly people, including many who couldn’t move around without the use of a walker or wheelchair. The wing of the Residence du Havre that burned to the ground was not equipped with automatic sprinklers and that’s where many of those with disabilities were housed. That was one of several issues uncovered by Delage in his report, made public Thursday. Delage said the building wasn’t up to code.

He added firefighters did not have an evacuation plan for the seniors’ residence and they arrived late to the scene. Moreover, he said several volunteer firefighters — including the fire chief — were not adequately trained because they were subject to a “grandfather” clause that exempted them from new training requirements. “We will say in polite terms that during this (fire) intervention, the lack of training and preparation were very evident,” Delage said in his report. Delage said the evidence presented to him indicates “for now” that the fire was accidental, but it will be up to the Crown to decide if anyone should be charged criminally. The blaze started just after midnight on Jan. 23 on a particularly freezing, windy night, which hampered firefighters’ work. The only staffer working that night was Bruno Belanger, who testified during the coroner’s inquiry that he had not been trained on the building’s emergency evacuation procedures. Instead of helping the elderly occupants out of the home, Belanger said

CANADA

Sun News Network hit the airwaves in April 2011 with heightened expectations and the watchful eyes of media observers who nicknamed the channel “Fox News North.” The operations were plagued by tight production budgets which often left it with limited on-the-ground reporting and a large portion of its airtime dedicated to commentary and heavily editorialized news coverage. The channel promised to balance the “lefty bias” of traditional Canadian media, but it also quickly drew controversy with its occasionally combative on-air approach. One of the most famous examples happened when former “Canada Live” host Krista Erickson drilled Quebec-born dancer Margie Gillis about whether she could receive government money for her dance performances. The segment went viral and drew a record number of complaints from viewers who felt Erickson was being unfair, but the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council eventually ruled the “aggressive” interview was acceptable.

Sun news network to shut down as of Friday morning TORONTO — The Sun News Network is shutting down Friday morning after negotiations to sell the troubled television network were apparently unsuccessful. Sources tell The Canadian Press that the network will cease broadcasting early Friday morning. Last December, a report in the Globe and Mail quoted a source “familiar with the negotiations” who said that Moses Znaimer’s ZoomerMedia Ltd. negotiating to acquire the network from Quebecor Inc.

he went to wake up the co-owner Irene Plante. Neither Plante nor Belanger were able to help evacuate the building because the smoke had become too thick. The coroner’s inquiry also heard from a woman who took a video of the tragedy as she happened to be in the area travelling with her family. The audio that accompanied the video was placed under a publication ban out of respect for the victims’ families because some of the elderly trapped in the building could be heard begging for help. Delage called for a review of emergency procedures at seniors’ residences across the province. “We have to better the security rules in seniors homes in order to avoid similar tragedies like the one that occurred at the Residence du Havre,” he said. Delage said smoke detectors in seniors’ homes need to be loud and visible by both employees and the people who live there. That wasn’t the case at Residence du Havre, where the smoke detectors were not located in each room and were not connected to a central alarm system that alerts the local 911 call centre.

Aside from recommending mandatory sprinkler systems, Delage said provincial authorities should encourage rural and urban cities and towns to centralize fire services and to regularly review fire-fighting procedures and have co-ordinated planning. Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard said Thursday in Quebec City that his government will review the report. “There are actions that will be announced very soon,” he said. “There are clearly things that need to be done.” Public Security Minister Lise Theriault said the government has already taken steps to address some of the problems outlined in the report, having announced over $19 million for training for volunteer and part-time firefighters. The coroner had strong words for some owners of seniors’ residences and politicians across the province whom he said might be angry his recommendations will cost money, as retrofitting older homes with sprinklers can be quite costly. “Let them (be angry) up until the moment that another disaster like this one happens again,” he said. “They’ll have to explain to their constituents why they did nothing.”

Harper says legislation coming to prevent early release for repeat offenders

release for repeat federal offenders who have previously received a prison sentence of five years or more which include a serious violent component. Harper says it’s unacceptable that Canadians fall prey to violent offenders, who have benefited from early release after repeatedly committing violent crimes. Harper was standing before a group of people in attendance who he said had their lives shattered by criminals and were “innocent victims of terrible events that resulted in wounds that will never heal.” “I would like to assure you that, from now on, victims will be treated with great respect, compassion, and the justice to which they are entitled,” Harper told them. The prime minister took part in a roundtable discussion Thursday that studied a number of other potential amendments to the Criminal Code.

VICTORIAVILLE, Que. — The federal government will introduce legislation aimed at preventing repeat offenders from being released after serving two-thirds of their sentence. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Thursday the proposed change will be tabled “very soon.” He made the announcement in Victoriaville, Que., following through on a commitment made by the Conservatives in the 2013 throne speech. “I can’t say it more clearly,” Harper said. “Justice is not only for the accused, it’s also for the victim.” Under the current law, offenders serving a fixed-term federal sentence can serve the last one-third of their sentence in the community under supervision and subject to conditions. But proposed amendments to the Corrections and Conditional Release Act would seriously restrict statutory

Man who killed three children ready for supervised outings: doctor

Military to hold inquiry into avalanche death of search and rescue technician WINNIPEG — The Royal Canadian Air Force will conduct an official inquiry into the death of a search and rescue technician during a training exercise in the Alberta Rockies. Col. Joel Roy, commander of 17 Wing in Winnipeg, told a news conference the investigation will look into how it happened and how to prevent it from happening again. The inquiry is expected to take about six months. The body of Sgt. Mark Salesse, 44, was recovered on Wednesday. A week earlier, he had been swept off a narrow ledge on the Polar Circus ice-climbing route in Banff National Park during an avalanche. He wasn’t wearing an avalanche transceiver, a device that allows rescuers to hone in on a signal and locate buried victims.

Government will appeal ruling allowing veil during citizenship oath Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the government will appeal a Federal Court ruling that would allow someone to take the oath of citizenship with their faces covered. A federal judge ruled in Ottawa last week that a portion of the law requiring citizenship candidates to remove their face coverings while taking the oath was unlawful. The case had been brought on by Zunera Ishaq, a Pakistani national who had sued the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration claiming the government’s policy on veils violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Ishaq, a Sunni Muslim from the Toronto-area who wears a niqab when in public, wants to be allowed to take the oath of citizenship while veiled. Niqabs are face coverings worn by some Muslim women in public areas and in front of adult males who are not relatives. Speaking at an event in Quebec on Thursday, Harper said the government intends to appeal the ruling. “I believe, and I think most Canadians believe that it is offensive that someone would hide their identity at the very moment where they are committing to join the Canadian family,” he said in Victoriaville, Que. “This is a society that is transparent, open, and where people are equal.”

Ministers must tweet in both official languages says language czar OTTAWA — The commissioner of official languages says federal ministers must tweet in both English and French. A preliminary report from Graham Fraser concludes that former foreign affairs minister John Baird and Public Security Minister Steven Blaney violated the language laws with unilingual tweets. Fraser’s office says ministers don’t have to be bilingual, but when they communicate with the public in their official capacities, they must use both official languages. The commissioner’s investigation followed several complaints. While the report names both Baird and Blaney, Baird was by far the worst when it comes to bilingual tweets. The Canadian Press has obtained a copy of the documents, which say that during a two-month span, 181 of Baird’s 202 tweets were English-only. Blaney’s twitter account produced 31 tweets over two months and the vast majority were in both languages. Two were French-only and one was in English. The Official Languages Act says parliamentarians can use one language in their private office and with staff. They must, however, use both official languages when communicating “objectives, initiatives, decisions and measures taken or proposed by a ministry or the government,” the report said. The report said parliamentarians should be communicating in both languages on all social media platforms, not just Twitter. The commissioner refused an interview request because his report is not yet public.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS PORT COQUITLAM, B.C. — The British Columbia man who viciously killed his three children nearly seven years ago still poses significant safety and escape risks, but his psychiatrist says Allan Schoenborn should be granted supervised releases into the community. Dr. Marcel Hediger has treated Schoenborn for three years and told an annual B.C. Review Board hearing Thursday the 46-year-old has made enough clinical progress to be considered for escorted leaves. A Crown lawyer at the hearing — held at a psychiatric hospital east of Vancouver — grilled but did not sway Hediger on his rationale. “You still regard Mr. Schoenborn as posing a significant risk of causing physical or psychological harm, right at this point in time, despite treatment?” asked Wendy Dawson. “I do, yes,” Hediger said, later adding “we do take public safety into account. “I do think the risk currently is different than when he is mentally ill and taking alcohol.” The director of the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital supports the plan. Schoenborn wore a red-plaid shirt, rimmed glasses and bounced in his chair throughout the hearing. He was noticeably heavier than the gaunt man depicted in photographs after the slayings and a 10-day manhunt through forest and mountains before his April 2008 arrest. Dawson asked Hediger, who was defending the assessment made by a team of experts, about the role anger played in the killings. “That has specifically been a concern and a challenge for myself,” Hediger said. “He has consistently

Sewage problems cause emergency in Arctic hamlet BY THE CANADIAN PRESS POND INLET, Nunavut — A remote Arctic community is in a state of emergency after two of its three sewage trucks broke down. Pond Inlet in Nunavut has 550 homes full of toilets to flush and only one truck to empty the tanks. And, for a while, even that truck was down. “It couldn’t keep up with the demands of the small community,” deputy mayor Josh Arreak said Thursday. “It broke down for a few hours and we had nothing, but then it was fixed.” In Pond Inlet, a hamlet of 1,500 on the north end of Baffin Island, water and sewage services are provided by truck. While the town’s water trucks are working fine, sewage pumpers that empty storage tanks have been experiencing mechanical failures that began at Christmas.

The town’s remaining truck has been operating 16 hours a day for the last week trying to keep up. One partially broken-down pumper is able to help out a bit — but it can’t go into reverse. The problem is compounded because water tanks shut down when the sewage tank is full. Residents have been asked to conserve water and refrain from doing laundry — even in homes with infants. People are also being asked to use facilities at public buildings or to ask their neighbours if they still have room in their tank. “People are very friendly,” Arreak said. “They’re trying to compromise to live with a situation that can’t be helped.” A mechanic has been flown in to try to fix the trucks. But Arreak says what Pond Inlet is really hoping for is a Hercules aircraft with two shiny new trucks in its hold. Until then, he said, people will have to make do.

denied that anger played a role in the index offence.” Schoenborn stabbed his 10-year-old daughter, Kaitlynne, and smothered his sons, eight-year-old Max and five-year-old Cordon, in their Merritt, B.C., home. During a trial in 2009 he explained he was trying to protect them from an delusional threat of sexual abuse, while the Crown labelled it an act of revenge against his wife. A judge said he was suffering psychosis and found him not criminally responsible for their deaths because of a mental disorder. The hearing was told his current diagnosis is delusional disorder and he suffers from paranoid personality traits. One year ago, Hediger told the board he was too concerned to allow Schoenborn into the unpredictable outside world. But on Thursday he said the man has “significantly improved.” The psychiatrist said he’s better able to manage his anger and has gained insights into his mental illness and need for treatment. The board heard Schoenborn was violently assaulted last September by another patient who called him a child killer, but that he didn’t retaliate. Dawson, however, told the hearing that she counted 11 instances of verbal or physical altercations, more often triggered by “minor” situations. One example occurred when another patient blew his nose too close to Schoenborn. She tallied at least 40 instances since the man was institutionalized in April 2010 and said the Crown opposed the release. It would be difficult for him to deal with strangers away from the hospital setting, she said. Schoenborn has also refusal any programming outside of anger-management therapy and chaplain visits, and he spends upwards of 16 hours daily sleeping, the board heard.

Oilers Nuge past Habs in OT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Oilers 4 Canadiens 3 (OT) MONTREAL — The Edmonton Oilers haven’t won often this season, but they ground one out against the top team in the NHL Eastern Conference on Thursday night. Ryan Nugent Hopkins, with his second of the game, tied it with 25 seconds left in regulation time and Anton Lander won it with a goal 1:47 into overtime to lift Edmonton to a 4-3 comeback victory over the Montreal Canadiens. “There’s no better feeling than to come back and win in overtime,” said Lander. “It’s a great team win.” Matt Hendricks also scored for the Oilers (16-31-9), who are 2-2-0 so far on a six-game road trip that takes them to Ottawa on Saturday and Winnipeg on Monday. They outshot the Canadiens 38-26. Despite the setback, Montreal (3515-4) moved into first in the East on the point for the OT loss, although a seething coach Michel Therrien was not impressed. “We played a really bad game in all aspects,” said Therrien. “We were lucky to get one point.” Lander banged in the winner from the doorstep for his third of the season. But a key to the win came late in the third when Tomas Plekanec took a penalty for playing the puck with his hand on a faceoff. When he emerged from the box, he got the puck on a funny bounce off an official and went in on the empty Edmonton net. But he hesitated just long enough for defenceman Oscar Klefbom to get into position and block his shot. The puck went down the other end, where Nugent-Hopkins took it off de-

think I’d have had time to save it, but it turned out good. I’m glad Nuge picked it up and scored.” Christian Thomas, Alex Galchenyuk and Max Pacioretty scored for Montreal, which ended a three-game win-

ning run. At 16:25 of the first frame, Jacob de la Rose forced a turnover and Thomas swept in on the left side to wire a shot to the top corner. It was a first NHL goal and point for the son of former star Steve Thomas. De la Rose also got his first career point with an assist. Galchenyuk scored his 16th as he whipped in a feed from P.K. Subban only 1:06 into the second period. But the Oilers battled back and Hendricks deflected in Jeff Petry’s point shot at 4:04 and Nugent-Hopkins had a puck go in off his skate when goalie Dustin Tokarski lost it in his crease at 14:09. Pacioretty’s 25th of the season came on a dash down the right side and quick wrist shot that beat Viktor Fasth to make it 3-2. The Oilers were all over Montreal in the third period, outshooting them 15-5 and forcing Tokarski into some spectacular saves, including a sprawling pad stop on Luke Gadzic from close range. Ryan Hamilton later hit a goal post. “That’s what it’s all about, winning games,” said Lander. “It’s not that fun to play when you lose games. “It’s been a tough road, but we’re playing better. We’re being more aggressive, getting more chances, getting pucks to the net. That’s got to continue.” The Oilers went 2-0-0 against Montreal for the season, including a 3-0 win at home Oct. 27. Notes — Galchenyuk scored on his 21st birthday. . . Thomas’s first goal came in his 15th NHL game. . . Mike Weaver and Manny Malhotra sat out for Montreal, while the Oilers scratched Keith Aulie and Matt Fraser.. . Benoit Pouliot missed a fifth game with a foot injury.

Kitchen helps Queens cook up win over Trojans BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Queens 4 Trojans 2 Jayna Kitchen has more than just good luck on her side of late. The fourth year Red Deer College Queens forward wears a set of crown shaped earrings for every game as a lucky charm, but she has been making her own breaks the last few weeks. She scored twice on Thursday in leading the Queens (11-6-4) to a 4-2 win over the SAIT Trojans (9-10-2) at the Red Deer Arena that all but locks up second place in Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference women’s hockey. “The coaching staff had one-on-one meetings with everyone before the break, and they just challenged me,” said Kitchen. “They said I’m a fourth year and I have to be better, they need me to step up on this team, we need our older players to lead. That gave me the extra little push that I needed to get going.” Rachel Hoppins and Rikki Leonard also scored for the Queens while Moriah Andrews made 14 saves for the win. The Trojans responded with goals from Brocklyn McKenna and Red Deer native Becca Glackin. Goalie Laticia Castillo made 34 saves in the loss. Kitchen has had an up and down career with the Queens. The Drayton

Valley product had a huge rookie season, leading the team with 10 goals in 2011-12, but the next two seasons she combined for nine goals as she struggled to find her scoring touch. With three games remaining this season, she leads RDC with eight goals in 21 outings, including four in their last three contests. As they head down the stretch into the playoffs, she the second line centre has emerged as a leader. “She’s been simplifying her game with the puck where earlier on in the year she was trying to do too much with it,” said Queens head coach Bob Rutz. “I’m glad to see it because we’ve been trying to get her to change her ways for a couple of years now, and it’s a credit to her. She finally stuck with the plan and she’s getting rewarded for it.” Thursday looked all too frustratingly familiar for much of the game. Despite dominating the game, RDC was tied with SAIT mid-way through the final period. It was scene that has played out too many times with the Queens this season where solid efforts were squandered. But Leonard fired a puck from the right side boards on a power play that went off the post and in, past Castillo at 9:52, and suddenly the Queens were relaxed and confident.

Defending champ Homan and gold medallist Jones headline Scotties Rachel Homan is looking to join a select list of women’s curlers who have skipped their teams to three straight national titles. Standing in her way is a strong field at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, which includes the last woman to accomplish the rare three-peat — reigning Olympic champion Jennifer Jones of Manitoba. Val Sweeting, who lost to Homan in last year’s final at Montreal, will represent Alberta, three-time Canada Cup champion Stefanie Lawton of Saskatchewan will skip the host province entry and five-time Scotties champion Mary-Anne Arsenault will represent Nova Scotia. “Nothing is guaranteed,” Homan

said. “There are so many good teams at the Scotties and so much talent, it’s definitely going to be a fight in every game for us to win.” Main draw competition begins Saturday at Mosaic Place. Other confirmed entries include Patti Knezevic of B.C., Julie Hastings of Ontario, Quebec’s Lauren Mann, Prince Edward Island’s Suzanne Birt, Heather Strong of Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick’s Sylvie Robichaud. Homan is aiming to join Jones (2008’10), Colleen Jones (’01-’04) and Vera Pezer (1971-’73) as the only curlers who have skipped their rinks to three straight national women’s titles. The Team Canada entry has a different look this season. Homan, third Emma Miskew and lead Lisa Weagle added second Joanne Courtney from Sweeting’s team as a re-

placement for Alison Kreviazuk, who left the rink to be with her boyfriend in Sweden. “It feels like she’s been on the team for longer than a year now, it’s been really good,” Homan said of her new teammate. In addition, coach Earle Morris ended his long run with Homan’s side to coach his son’s team this season. Richard Hart, who plays for Team Glenn Howard, will handle coaching duties for the defending champions at the Scotties. Homan’s team went undefeated at last year’s tournament while Jones represented Canada at the Sochi Olympics. Homan beat Jones in the 2013 Scotties final in Kingston, Ont. The Ottawa skip currently sits third behind Jones and Sweeting on the Canadian Team Ranking List and is com-

ing off a Skins Game victory last month in Banff, Alta. “We have four people on our team that all have the same goal and the same work ethic and dedication to the game,” Homan said in a recent interview. “I love playing with them. They’re three great girls and when you get to have fun with who you’re playing with along with playing the game you love, it makes it a lot easier.” For the first time in the history of the Scotties, there will be a qualification round to determine the final entry in the 12-team main draw.

WHO’S HOT Saskatoon Blades D Brycen Martin is riding an eight-game point streak. The 18-year-old Brycen Calgary native Martin has notched three goals and collected 13 points during the stretch dating back to Jan. 25. The six-foot-two, 198-pound Martin, a third-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres in the 2014 NHL entry draft, was acquired from the Swift Current Broncos in early January and has garnered a total of 33 points (6g,27a) this season.

HE SAID IT “Any time you give up three goals in the first three minutes it’s not a good thing. I think it carried Bob Woods over from the morning. I had to get on them in the morning about being ready. You hate when you’re right as a coach sometimes because you can kind of see it coming. That was one of our worst efforts at home for sure. You just can’t dig yourself a hole. We just don’t have the offensive power that we can pull ourselves out of a 3-0 deficit.” — Saskatoon Blades GM.head coach Bob Woods, to Daniel NugentBowman of the Saskatoon StarPhoenix, following Tuesday’s 3-0 loss to the visiting Spokane Chiefs in which the Blades trailed 3-0 just 3:08 into the game.

Grman good with move to forward BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR He’s playing out of position, but Mario Grman is just happy to be playing at all. Brent Sutter hasn’t been able to find much ice time for the rookie defenceman this season, but with Evan Polei and Conner Bleackley out with injuries, the Red Deer Rebels GM/head coach used the 17-year-old up front during Sunday’s 6-2 loss to the host Victoria Royals and was impressed with the Slovakian’s performance. “He played extremely well for us,” Sutter said Thursday. “He brought us an element we’ve been missing since Polei’s been out, and with Bleacks also hurt you’re taking two of your bigger forwards out of the lineup. He (Grman) brought us that physicality and against a team that has a lot of guys who play that way. “He played well. I was proud of him.” Grman had no problem with shifting his skills to another position, despite the fact it presented a whole new challenge. “It’s pretty different than defence, but I’m happy that I got a chance from the head coach and coaches that I can play on offence,” he said. “I try to play hard and skating more.” Grman, whom the Rebels selected in the second round of last year’s CHL import draft — first-round pick Hugo Jansons, also a defenceman, was released in November — appeared in his 20th WHL game last Sunday. The six-foot-one, 190-pound rookie import has two assists to his name and has also racked up 26 minutes in penalties due to his fondness for playing a rugged style. “I like play a physical game. I like hard hits,” he said. Grman has been used sparingly on the blueline, understandable considering the club’s depth and experience on the back end. But he hasn’t expressed any bitterness despite watching more games than he’s played. “He’s handled it all pretty well,” said Sutter. “Obviously he’s a little bit discouraged by where he is on our depth

Red Deer Rebels rookie defenceman Mario Grman hasn’t been seeing a lot of ice time so far this season but a recent move to forward has impressed the coaches which could translate to playing time. chart as far as our defence is concerned. Our top five guys are our top five guys and with Strander (Austin Strand) and Josh (Mahura) we’re tying to make sure we can keep both of them going. “So it’s kind of put Grms on the outside a bit. But I talked to him and his agent about moving him up front and seeing if he could handle that. To be quite

honest, as coaches we feel that he might turn out to be a better forward than a defenceman.” Grman, who will be back on a forward line tonight and Saturday against the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes and Prince George Cougars, insisted he hasn’t been overly frustrated with his inability to draw into the lineup on a consistent basis. “I’m not disappointed,” he

said. “It was pretty hard because when I was going here I thought I want to play a lot of games, but I still waiting for a chance because I am a rookie, almost the youngest man. I’m still trying to work hard and do everything.” As for the possibility that he might be employed as a forward as long as he’s with the Rebels ... “I never think about that, but yeah, it’s a good position,” said Grman. The possibility exists that the defenceman-turned-forward won’t be a member of next season’s Memorial Cup host team. “That’s a decision that will be made in June,” said Sutter. “He’s either going to be coming back or he’ll be traded after June 15. Or if a trade isn’t made and we give him a chance to play somewhere else in the CHL, then we’ll release him. It’s going to be one of those three scenarios. “The one thing I do like about him is that he’s a real great competitor. He’s got a great compete level and he’s not afraid. If we can get him going at forward and see how it turns out for him . . . that’s a nice thing to have — a guy who can play both positions if you need that.” If Grman can continue to impress up front for the remainder of the season and Sutter doesn’t see a sure thing in the second round of June’s import draft, the Slovakian could very well be back with the club next fall. “The other thing he has going for him is his age,” said Sutter. “He falls into that wheelhouse where he’s 17 years of age. As we all know, the (import) draft is a crapshoot. “Obviously we’re going to take a European with our first pick, and if we don’t think there’s someone there (in the second round) who can give us an element that Grms gives us, then Grms will be staying.” Grman would certainly welcome the opportunity to suit up with the Rebels next season. “I’m happy here. I like Canada so much,” he said. “I like Red Deer and I like the Red Deer Rebels. Everything is good.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

I thought he gave us a chance because of his play. “It really brought some energy to our bench. It really spurred us on and after they scored that short-handed goal to make it 2-1. I know our power play was hurting and it was nice to see them respond with the two goals. But it was a really pivotal time, the first part of the second period that gave us a lift.” • Edmonton Oilers fans will attest to the fact that Ryan Smyth was a great warrior for the team during his 14 years in Oiler silks. But back in the early ‘90s, Smyth was also a great Warrior in Moose Jaw, scoring 116 goals and collecting 239 points in his three seasons with the WHL club. It was only fitting then that the 38-year-old had his No. 28 Warriors jersey retired during a pregame ceremony last Friday at Mosaic Place. “This community means a lot to me,” Smyth told Matthew Gourlie of the Moose Jaw TimesHerald. “My wife is from here. I always keep track of how the Warriors are doing. They’ve

produced some great players over the course of my career. “This is humbling and an honour for myself and my family.” Just notes: Seattle Thunderbirds stopper Taran Kozun is the CHL goaltender of the week for the period ending Feb. 8. His stats tell the story. Kozun, a 20-year-old, posted a 2-0-00 record with a shutout and a GAA of 1.50 and save percentage of .955 . . . The WHL player of the week is Brandon Wheat Kings forward Rihards Bukarts, honoured for his sevenpoint production during the club’s four road victories. The 19-year-old fired four goals, added three assists and was an impressive plus-5 during the stretch . . . Kootenay Ice GM Jeff Chynoweth decided that he’d like to get a look at part of his club’s future at the present time, recalling netminder Declan Hobbs from the midget AAA Saskatoon Contacts Thursday morning. “We think Declan is the goaltending future of our hockey club,” Chynoweth told Taylor Rocca of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman. “We want to see him in practice. He’s been playing in midget and he’s had a good year in Midget AAA in Saskatoon. This is a little bit of a reward for him.” Hobbs, a third-round pick of the Ice in the 2013 WHL bantam draft, has recorded a 15-11-0 record with a 3.62 goals-against average and .902 save percentage this season. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Prince George set to host Games CANADA WINTER GAMES A ’COMING OUT PARTY’ FOR NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Many young athletes use the Canada Winter Games as a stepping stone to greater exposure, and this year’s host city hopes to do the same. Prince George, B.C., is set to welcome 2,400 competitors for 17 days beginning Friday, and Games CEO Stuart Ballantyne says apart from putting on an event featuring some of the country’s premier sporting talent, the community is also looking forward to telling its story. “I think it’s a real coming out party for northern British Columbia and Prince George,” Ballantyne said in a recent phone interview. “A lot of the country doesn’t really consider what goes on in northern B.C. and this is a great chance to stand up on a soapbox and tell them.” Athletes will compete in 19 sports, including alpine skiing, snowboarding, hockey, figure skating, curling, badminton, gymnastics, table tennis and synchronized swimming. Established in 1967 to help cele-

brate Canada’s centennial and promote national unity, the Games, which alternate every two years between summer and winter editions, feature athletes aged 12 to 35 from all 10 provinces and three territories. “It’s a unique property in the world,” said Canada Games Council chairman Tom Quinn. “If I was going to put it into context to someone who knew nothing about it I’d say it’s almost like Canada’s junior Olympics.” Added Ballantyne: “Canada is the only nation that hosts a national Games for athletes of this age and calibre ... people should take it in and really be proud of what Canada created in 1967, and we’re proud of what we’re going to deliver.” Prince George has a population of about 90,000 people, and Ballantyne said some 4,500 volunteers are on board for the event that is expected to leave a number of lasting impressions on the community. “The Canada Games itself, the movement, is all about legacy,” he said. “The legacy is not just hosting a major

event and putting your city on the map, it’s the ability to host other sporting events in the future, the physical legacies in the sport venue upgrades that have been put in place, (and) the human side.” A former executive with the WHL’s Vancouver Giants, Ballantyne said planning for the Games has presented some distinct challenges for Price George’s organizing committee. “We’re 900 kilometres from major cities,” he said. “We’ve basically had to fish off the land from a business perspective and really work with local suppliers, which is a great thing in of itself.” Speaking of greats, young incarnations of Sidney Crosby, Steven Stamkos, Haley Wickenheiser, Catriona Le May Doan, Gaetan Boucher and Steve Nash all took part in past Games, and Ballantyne said new stars will surely emerge from the 2015 edition. “There no question we’re going to have some of Canada’s future elite athletes,” said Ballantyne, who won two swimming gold medals for B.C. back in 1977.

Prospects, pick acquired for Kane give Jets assets to make more trades

BURN OUT

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS By trading Evander Kane, the Winnipeg Jets didn’t just get better now by acquiring big defenceman Tyler Myers and veteran winger Drew Stafford. They also picked up the kind of ammunition that could help get more trades done by the March 2 deadline. “The ability to add right now is very important, it still remains very important,” general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said. “We’re going to continue to keep looking to try and see if there’s other options out there.” The Jets already had Canadian world junior gold medallists Josh Morrissey, Nic Petan and Eric Comrie and Danish junior star Nikolaj Ehlers in the pipeline. Now from the Buffalo deal they have 2011 first-rounder Joel Armia, 2014 second-rounder Brendan Lemieux and an extra first-round pick that Cheveldayoff isn’t ruling out using as a bargaining chip in the next few weeks. “Right now it’s a draft pick, and that’s how we’re focused on it,” he said. “You just never know what comes up as time goes on.” In the deal that sent the injured Kane, defenceman Zach Bogosian and

RDC: Kitchen Kitchen sealed the victory with a highlight reel short-handed marker at 17:19. She was sent in on a rush off a nice pass from Ashley Graf, beat the Trojans defenceman to the outside with a power move and cut in on Castillo who she tucked the puck behind. “Earlier in the year when we weren’t scoring, we were getting frustrated, but now we’re just patient and we have confidence that we are going to get one,” said Rutz. For the Queens it was a sign of how far they have come this season. They started out struggling to stay competitive against high school academy teams and heading into the second semester they were still mired in last place, struggling to score. But they have taken off since then and still have an outside shot at first place. While that dream may be far fetched — the Queens have to complete the sweep against SAIT in Calgary tonight and then sweep the first place NAIT Ooks (15-3-2) next weekend while hoping the last place MacEwan Griffins (611-3) sweep NAIT this weekend — their goal is all about building momentum towards the playoffs where a championship is very much in reach. “My first year we had a team of 16 rookies and a whole new coaching staff, so it was completely rebuilt from the ground up,” said Kitchen, who will be back for a fifth year. “We went from having 16 rookies to second place to third place and now it’s this year and we’re going for it all. We’ve got to get past NAIT, but that’s in the future, we’re focused on SAIT tomorrow night.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

SCOTTIES: Qualifier The qualifier final is set for Saturday afternoon. This is the first year that Northern Ontario is entered in the women’s national championship. In addition, the three Canadian territories will no longer be represented by a single entry. Nunavut could have entered the qualification round but declined to participate this year. The changes are part of an effort by the Canadian Curling Association to make the Scotties and the men’s competition — the Tim Hortons Brier — true national championships by including all 14 member associations. The Brier will mirror the Scotties starting this year by using a Team Canada entry for the defending champion. The medal games are scheduled for Feb. 22. The Scotties winner will represent Canada at the March 14-22 world women’s curling championship in Sapporo, Japan. Notes: The team that finishes last in the overall standings at this year’s event will be joined in the 2016 qualification round by the two losing teams from this year’s qualifier. Nunavut will also be able to enter a qualifier team in 2016. ... The Scotties winner also qualifies for the 2015 Canada Cup in Grande Prairie, Alta., along with next year’s Continental Cup in Las Vegas and the 2016 Scotties in Grande Prairie. ... The 2015 Brier will be held Feb. 28-March 8 in Calgary. The winner will advance to the March 28-April 5 Ford world men’s curling championship in Halifax.

“To some athletes this might be the pinnacles of their careers. For some of them it’s a stepping stone into a university career. Some of them go into international competition, and some of them go into professional sports or even the Olympics. “It’s hard to predict exactly which ones are going to go on, but it’s great to see them at this age.” After being on the project for 3 ½ years, Ballantyne said Friday’s opening ceremony will be the start of an exciting new chapter for both the athletes, and the host city. “To share northern B.C. with the rest of the nation, and in particular with the participants and their families and everybody else that takes in the Games is very special because it’s that moment in time when Prince George got to stand up and tell people who they are,” said Ballantyne. “It’s a moment in time for those athletes where they’ll remember that maybe a turning point in their sports career happened in Prince George and they’ll always have that connection.”

goaltending prospect Jason Kasdorf to Buffalo, Winnipeg already filled one need with Stafford. A one-time 30-goal scorer, the 29-year-old takes the spot that opened up when Kane opted for season-ending shoulder surgery, allowing Dustin Byfuglien to go back to defence. The Jets are 2-4-2 since the allstreak break and aren’t yet a lock to make the playoffs. Winnipeg has the first wild-card spot in the West and are seven points up on ninth-place Minnesota, but the Wild have points in eight straight and three games in hand. Cheveldayoff said it was important that the Kane deal helped the team now and in the future. He has consistently had an eye on the future, but his moves in the next little while could help solidify the franchise’s first playoff berth since moving to Winnipeg. Armia is a six-foot-three Finn who has 25 points in the American Hockey League this season. Lemieux is back with the Ontario Hockey League’s Barrie Colts and continuing to follow in the footsteps of his father, Claude. Those two players could be part of the future along with Jacob Trouba, Mark Scheifele, Morrissey, Petan and Ehlers or trade bait to get more immediate help.

Daly surprises with 65 at Pebble Beach SITS ONE SHOT BEHIND LEADERS J.B. HOLMES AND JUSTIN HICKS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Sunshine is always a pleasant surprise at Pebble Beach, and Thursday brought a real stunner: John Daly was near the top of the leaderboard. With his best opening round on the PGA Tour in nearly 10 years, Daly kept a clean card at Pebble Beach on a magnificent day along the Monterey Peninsula for a 7-under 65, leaving him one shot behind J.B. Holmes and Justin Hicks in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Daly won an exhibition in Turkey last year. The last official win for the two-time major champion was at Torrey Pines in 2004. So when Daly rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt on his final hole, one of the volunteers wasn’t joking when he said, “Daly is at 7 under? On his own?” Daly laughed when he heard that. Then again, this day could put anyone in a good mood. His golf was as glorious as the sunshine. Three years ago, a beautiful day gave way to fog and then rain without notice in a two-hour span. Last year, the third round was ravaged by rain and 30 mph win. Thursday brought long shadows. “To have weather like this now — it’s supposed to be like this all week — it is absolutely incredible,” said Jim Furyk, who made his 2015 debut with a 64 at Monterey Peninsula. It’s already one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to and then to have weather like this, it’s just spectacular.“ Hicks and Holmes each shot 8-under 64 at Pebble Beach, typically the easiest course in the rotation in benign conditions. Furyk, former Pebble winner Brandt Snedeker and Chesson Hadley were at 7-under 64 at Monterey Peninsula, while J.J. Henry and Dudley Hart joined Daly at 65 at Pebble Beach. The low score at Spyglass Hill belonged to Alex Prugh at 6-under 66. Jason Day, coming off a playoff win

at Torrey Pines that included Holmes, struggled to a 72 at Pebble Beach. He wasn’t even the low Day in the day. Glen Day, in his final year before he is eligible for the Champions Tour, shot a 5-under 66 at Monterey Peninsula. Holmes had a start as ideal as the weather. He holed a wedge from 123 yards on the 10th hole for eagle, and then hit another wedge to 5 feet for birdie on No. 11. For all his length, he only birdied one of the par 5s, and that was with a 20-foot putt. Even so, it was good way to forget last week, where he lost on the second playoff hole. “I’ve just got to keep reminding myself it was a great week for me, and I did everything I could do and just carry that on to this week and maybe things will go a little bit different this week,” he said. Hicks saved his best for the final hole, reaching the par 5 in two and making an 18-foot eagle putt. His week began with a big laugh. His back felt tight, so Hicks went to see a local chiropractor to relieve some of the pain. Then he went to the tour’s chiropractor, who told him his glutes weren’t activating. “I almost fell off the chair,” Hicks said. That was the phrase Tiger Woods used last week when he withdrew after 11 holes. “I never quite used that term myself to describe an injury. I never really even heard that term. So to have him tell me that, I was just thinking, ’You’re kidding, right?”’ Daly, however, caused the biggest stir. It was his best start since a 64 in the Byron Nelson Championship in 2005. He can deliver a good round — or win a major, for that matter — out of nowhere. Still, this wouldn’t seem to be the place for it. Daly tied for 20th at Pebble Beach in his rookie season in 1991 and he hasn’t made the cut in 10 tries since then. And he still hasn’t. “That wouldn’t shock me,” Daly said when told of his record. “I still haven’t made it yet.”

Next up is a trip to Monterey Peninsula, and Daly isn’t sure what to expect. Part of him was still in shock over the colours — emerald green on the fairways, blue in the ocean and that big yellow ball in the sky, always a welcome guest. Of course, he had those colours and more in the pattern of his Loudmouth pants. Daly said that pattern is called, “In the Jungle.” “I’m just glad I didn’t shoot something in jungle today,” he said. It was a simple round, or at least he

made it look that way. Daly only missed three fairways and took 26 putts, two areas of his game that have cost him over the years. And for all the great golf he played, he couldn’t stop talking about the weather. He usually only sees Pebble like this on a postcard. “It’s just great to be able to come out here and not have to survive the weather and survive the golf course,” he said. “But we’ll just see what happens.” It wasn’t clear if he was talking about the weather or his game.

He had the most memorable moment of Wednesday night’s 95-93 win over Washington. Lowry made like he was on a Slip ’N Slide, sliding 15 feet on his belly to beat John Wall to a loose ball. The daring dive ripped the skin off Lowry’s palms. Earlier this season, he chased a loose ball right over the front row of fans, coming up with a face-full of ice cream sandwich. “I am super (proud),” Ujiri said, be-

“He took the challenge. To give Kyle the credit, he challenged himself, and he saw some of the things that he did well and some of the things he didn’t do so well, and he just challenged himself,” Ujiri said. Everyone from Prime Minister Stephen Harper to pop icon Justin Bieber threw their support behind Lowry in his quest to be an all-star, and the scrappy six-foot guard passed Miami’s Dwyane Wade down the stretch to earn a spot as a starter. He’ll start alongside Wall, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Pau Gasol. He’s the third Raptor to be voted in as a starter along with Vince Carter and Chris Bosh. Ujiri presented Lowry with his allstar jersey at centre court of the Air Canada Centre prior to tipoff Wednesday night. Jimmy Fallon had some fun with Lowry and his all-star teammates later Wednesday night in an installment of “Tonight Show Superlatives.” He poked fun at Lowry’s youthful NBA photo, saying the Raptor was voted “Most Likely to be Posing for his 6th Grade Class Picture.” Lowry Tweeted in response: “Actually bjimmyfallon, that was 8th grade... maybe 9th. Come on now. . .” Lowry will also compete in Saturday night’s Skills Challenge.

TORONTO — Masai Ujiri was talking to Kyle Lowry earlier this week about his point guard’s training plans for this coming summer. Halfway through the Toronto Raptors’ finest season, and on the cusp of playing in his first NBA all-star game, Lowry wanted to talk about his desire to get better. “That tells you more about him,” said Ujiri, the Raptors president and GM. “He’s not relaxing. He wants to win, and he wants to try and win big. That’s what he wants, and he’s not just any player but your point guard, your lead player.” The 29-year-old Lowry has taken a longer, bumpier route to this weekend’s all-star game in New York than the NBA superstars he’ll be dishing out assists to. There were stops in Memphis and Houston, and by the time he arrived in Toronto he’d been painted with the reputation of being a tough guy to coach. But Toronto has brought out the best in Lowry. He’s averaging a career high 18.8 points a night, and continues to endear himself to fans with his heart and hustle. He is the team leader in taking charges, a lunging and diving example

fore boarding a flight to New York for the weekend’s all-star festivities. “I texted him yesterday and I told him, I’m so proud of him.” Lowry, at first, seemed to live up to his troubling reputation in Toronto, as he battled Jose Calderon for minutes. He has called his relationship with coach Dwane Casey “rocky.” But the Raptors cobbled together a special chemistry last season, with Lowry as their leader. He led them through a playoff series with the Brooklyn Nets that captured the imagination of fans across the country. Then he signed a four-year, US$48 million contract extension in the summer to stay in the city that he once couldn’t wait to get out of. And still, there were critics who predicted Lowry would get a fat body to go with his fat new contract. “People made all this stuff up, once he takes the contract, he’s going to take the contract and run, he’s going to come back out of shape, blah blah blah,” Ujiri said. “It’s not easy for people to keep hearing all this stuff, I think Kyle has handled it really well, I’m really proud of him.” Ujiri doesn’t take credit for Lowry’s growth in Toronto. He simply gave Lowry the opportunity, he said. Lowry did the rest.

Putting Jamaica on the map in a new sport

Canada’s Kingsbury closes in on all-time moguls record, even as fatigue adds up

SKIER MICHAEL WILLIAMS HAS SEEN ‘COOL RUNNINGS’ AND USES FILM AS INSPIRATION AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEAVER CREEK, Colo. — So let’s get this out of the way early: Yes, Jamaican skier Michael Williams has seen Cool Runnings. And yes, he’s asked about the film featuring the Jamaican bobsled team ALL THE TIME! But no, he doesn’t mind. The story of the bobsledders showing up at the 1988 Calgary Games — a journey that inspired the Disney movie — actually motivated Williams to become a ski racer. Just took some time — more than two decades to be precise. The 45-year-old Canadian who lives in Germany and has Jamaican roots on his mom’s side didn’t even hit the slopes until 2 ½ years ago. Here he is at the world championships — his second one — going through qualifying races in nearby Vail to try and make it into the starting gate for the giant slalom and slalom events this weekend in Beaver Creek. “Usain Bolt may be the fastest man on land, but I’m the fastest Jamaican on snow,” said Williams, laughing when asked if his popularity on the Caribbean island rivals that of the 100- and 200-meter world record holder. Williams isn’t the only one who’s boosted the profile of Jamaica on the slopes. Errol Kerr competed in ski cross at the 2010 Vancouver Games. Shortly after his arrival in Colorado this week, Williams posted on his Facebook page: “Feel di riddim, feel di rhyme, get on up, it’s Jamaica Ski Team Time!” Williams, who goes by “Jamaica Mike” is funded by the Jamaican Ski Team. His goals at worlds aren’t so much to keep up with Marcel Hirscher or Ted Ligety. No, his ambition is more modest — don’t finish last. Not only that, but Williams has a competition within the competition going with Haitian skier Jean-Pierre Roy. Whoever has the worst time between the two has to make a donation to the other’s foundation. Williams said he won the bet during the world championships two years ago in Austria, back when he was just starting out. “I’m hoping to defend my title with him,” Williams said. “That’s really my big goal.” It’s been quite an adventure for Williams, who was introduced to skiing by watching the 1988 Olympics. He tuned in for the Jamaican bobsled team and got hooked on skiing as well. He loved the way Alberto Tomba of Italy and Pirmin Zurbriggen of Switzerland glided down the slopes. That appealed to him. But so did American football. After attending the University of Western Ontario, he played professionally for a while in Europe as a quarterback and receiver. At 43, an age when most ski racers are long retired, Williams decided he wanted to finally take up the sport. Not recreationally, but compete for Jamaica. In the beginning, he could only snowplow his way down the mountain. It didn’t take him long to pick up skiing and he competed in qualifying at the 2013 worlds — with a torn ACL, no less.

In this Feb. 11, 2015, photo, Michael Williams poses for a portrait in Beaver Creek, Colo. Williams, who makes up the Jamaican ski team, will attempt to qualify for the giant slalom and slalom races in the alpine skiing world championships. Williams hasn’t had all that much time to prepare for worlds in Beaver Creek. Being a travelling sales manager for a Swiss watch company and raising a 16-year-old son takes up a lot of his time. On weekends, he heads over to Austria to squeeze in some training. “I’ve skied fairly decently for a guy who’s only been out here a couple of years,” Williams said. Williams has never raced in a World Cup event or finished in the top 10 of an International Ski Federation competition, but he still stands out. Hard not to — he wears a Jamaican green race suit and bright orange gloves given to him by a sponsor. He’s creating quite a following, too, just like the bobsledders. “The first reaction I get when I tell people I’m a skier from Jamaica is always about ’Cool Runnings,”’ said Williams, who stays in contact with one of the Jamaican bobsledders, Devon Harris. “Then people are like, ’Are you serious?’ When I say I am, they always say, ’That’s really cool. Good luck.”’ Who knows? Maybe there’s a movie remake down the road — “Cool Skiings,” perhaps?

TORONTO — Mikael Kingsbury and Canada’s freestyle ski team work so hard that sleepwalking has become a hazard. Kingsbury, from Deux-Montagnes, Que., is thriving in the demanding World Cup schedule as he closes in on his fourth straight Crystal Globe as the best freestyle skier in the world this season. Even with his focus on the next race, Kingsbury occasionally gets distracted by bouts of somnambulism. “When we were going to the world championships, one of my teammates, Marc-Antoine Gagnon, sleepwalked on the plane. He was asleep, he had his mask on and he was dreaming that he was getting attacked by bees,” said Kingsbury with a laugh on Wednesday. “He got out of his seat and started running through the aisles, started climbing up on people in the plane. He was like six or seven rows behind his seat. Someone had to wake him up — he still had his mask on!” Added Kingsbury: “A couple of years ago I broke my toe before a race while sleepwalking. We’re big sleepwalkers on our team. We’re too tired because we don’t have a time zone. We’re in Japan, we’re in Europe, back in America, back to Japan, back to Europe. We travel a lot.” It may be a tiring lifestyle, but Kingsbury enjoys it. “It’s worth it. It’s fun. I’ve been travelling like this since I was 17, 18 years old, around the world. There’s not a lot of people my age who’ve seen the planet like I have. We’re lucky to travel like that,” said the 22-year-old Kingsbury. “We’re living the dream. Some of my friends wanted to play in the NHL, but I always wanted to be a World Cup skier and win medals and be one of the best skiers in the world.” Kingsbury could make that goal by the end of the season. He’s already the most successful Canadian moguls skier ever with 26 World Cup victories, and he’s just two wins away from tying the all-time record, held by France’s Edgar Grospiron. “When I’m skiing I’m not thinking about that,” said Kingsbury, while acknowledging that matching Grospiron would be a special accomplishment. “I’m a guy that likes records, they keep me motivated. I can write my name in the history books. If I finish strong this season I could do it. “One thing at a time though. This isn’t my focus. It’s just a fun thing.” The Olympic silver medallist has only improved since the Sochi Games, winning his fifth straight World Cup on Saturday. He’s got a sizable lead in the overall standings with 529 points, well ahead of Russia’s Alexandr Smyshlyaev (281). With three events left this season, Kingsbury is 53 points away from claiming the Crystal Globe title again. Smyshlyaev would need to earn silver in all three remaining World Cups this season and Kingsbury would have to sit out the remaining competitions for the Russian to finish the season on top of the leaderboard. “Crystal Globes are like the Stanley Cup in our sport, so it’s pretty big,” said Kingsbury.

Tigers Trevor Cox has big shoes to fill WHL STAR LOOKING TO FOLLOW IN FAMOUS GREAT-GRANDFATHER’S FOOTSTEPS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Medicine Hat Tigers’ Trevor Cox is shown in recent Western Hockey League action. Cox never met his legendary great-grandfather Fred (Cyclone) Taylor, but he has adopted some of his on-ice traits.

Trevor Cox never met his legendary great-grandfather Fred (Cyclone) Taylor, but he has adopted some of his on-ice traits. Like his famous ancestor, the 19-year-old Medicine Hat Tigers centre can rack up points with regularity. Cox leads the WHL in scoring by a wide margin with 23 goals, 69 assists and 92 points. “From what I hear, he was a great skater and one of my biggest assets is my skating ability and my speed,” said Cox, a Surrey, B.C., native who is in his fourth season with the Tigers. “That’d probably be the one (similar) thing that stands out. I’d say I’m a skilled player. Obviously a good skill set seemed to come down the (family) line, and I was fortunate to get a pretty good skill set.” Cyclone Taylor, regarded as one of Canada’s first and all-time hockey greats, starred in the formative years of professional hockey. He won Stanley Cup titles with the Ottawa Senators (1909) and Vancouver Millionaires (1915) and earned selection to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1947. “Hockey, it’s just been in-bred in me, and I’ve been very fortunate to be

raised in such a great hockey family,” said Cox. Despite his puckhandling pedigree, Cox, who is listed at five-foot-eight and 164 pounds, was not chosen in last summer’s NHL draft. But he will have a second - and final chance - at selection this year. “Obviously, one of the knocks against me is my size, and it’ll always be a knock,” said Cox. “But I’ve just got to work on, I guess, proving people wrong — and keep improving every day.” Cox and linemate Cole Sanford, who sits second in league scoring (44 goals, 39 assists) have improved championship hopes. The Tigers have a firm hold on second place in the Eastern Conference. Medicine Hat general manager and coach Shaun Clouston believes Cox can excel as a pro despite the NHL’s tendency to draft bigger players, noting that several smaller skaters are shining right now. “It’s hard to ignore the numbers that he’s putting up,” said Clouston. “He’s had steady improvement. Those are good signs when you’re looking at projecting players.” Cox’s uncle Mark Taylor, who played in the NHL with Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington from 1981

to 1986, said Cox is “slippery” enough to handle the physical play in the big leagues. However, he added, Cox will constantly have to battle the negative stereotypes surrounding smaller players. “You look at players like that (Johnny) Gaudreau on Calgary and just how exciting he is, game in and game out, and how much they seem to love him in Calgary,” said Taylor. “And you think, well, a lot of other teams probably didn’t look at him that seriously. Unfortunately, a lot of smaller players like that just don’t get the opportunity. So you hope that (Cox) does.” But Mark Taylor said, as in his own case, Cox has faced little family pressure to emulate Cyclone Taylor’s success. Cyclone, who died in 1979 at the age of 94, was “pretty humble” and “pretty quiet,” only offered advice when asked, and “was just happy to be a fan and support the grandkids.” “For most of us, (hockey) was just a part of our lives,” Mark Taylor said. “Having a famous grandfather, it just all made sense why you were trying to excel at the ice rink at a young age. It just keeps you focused and, maybe, makes your dreams a little bit clearer, and you realize that there may be a possibility (of playing in the NHL) if you work hard at it.”

Former champion Henderson tests waters as welterweight BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Former lightweight champion Benson (Smooth) Henderson steps into uncharted UFC territory Saturday when he enters the Octagon as a welterweight against Brandon (Rukus) Thatch in suburban Denver. Henderson (21-5) is stepping into deep waters at the 1stBank Center against the bigger Thatch, a dangerous striker who has made short work of his opponents. Thatch was originally slated to face Stephen (Wonderboy) Thompson on the televised card in Broomfield while Henderson was matched against Jorge Masvidal on April 4 in Fairfax, Va. But when Thompson injured a rib in training, Henderson stepped up. “I’ve always said anyone, anywhere, any time, any place,” said Henderson. “But it’s hard to do that.” Hard when you’re champion, any-

way. The 31-year-old Arizona-based fighter said UFC matchmaker Joe Silva and president Dana White would laugh when he offered to fill in as needed while he was atop the 155-pound division. Having lost his title to current champion Anthony (Showtime) Pettis at UFC 164 in August 2013, Henderson is still willing and now able to be more flexible. “We have a short time in the fight game,” he said. “So make the most of it.” It speaks volumes about Thatch (111) that he is getting a main event fight in his home town after spending just three minutes 33 seconds in action for the UFC. But during that time he demolished Justin Edwards and Paulo Thiago. In his short UFC career, he has landed 8.17 significant strikes per minute, compared to 2.88 for Henderson, according to FightMetric. But a string of injuries have sidelined the 29-year-old Thatch since the

win over Thiago in November 2013. Most recently a compound fracture of his toe prevented him meeting Jordan Mein of Lethbridge, last August. All of Thatch’s victories came in the first round with six lasting less than a minute. His lone loss came via decision in his second pro fight, against Brandon Magana on a September 2008 Strikeforce card at the Playboy Mansion. Henderson has lost his last two fights, in radically different circumstances. Against Rafael Dos Anjos last August, he was stopped in the first round after a left hook dropped him. Henderson believes the stoppage was premature, but he’s not complaining. That’s not his style. More recently, he suffered a controversial decision loss to Donald (Cowboy) Cerrone on Feb. 14 in Boston. FightMetric had Henderson outstriking Cerrone each round with an overall 86-57 edge in significant strikes. But the judges saw it differently. Again Henderson has no beef. “As fighters, all we can do is go out

there and do our best. We don’t control the judges.” At six foot two, Thatch will have a five-inch height advantage on Henderson. The former champ, however, says he will have the edge in speed and agility. Henderson, who has fought at 170 pounds earlier in his career, says he probably could have made 155 pounds despite the short notice “but I would not have performed well at all.” He says this welterweight fight is a “onetime thing for right now.” NOTES: Alexis Davis and Sarah Kaufman will meet in an all-Canadian bantamweight bout at UFC 186 in Montreal on April 25. Davis is ranked third among 135-pound contenders while Kaufman, a former Strikeforce champion who beat Davis in 2007 and 2012, is No. 5 ... Two former champions will face off in the main event of the UFC’s first trip to the Philippines on May 16 when former UFC world lightweight champion Frankie Edgar takes on former WEC featherweight title-holder Urijah Faber at 145 pounds.

Dreamcoat

Narator Yvette LaGrange, Joseph, played by Cameron Chapman, and the cast during the last musical number before the intermission.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JEFF STOKOE/ ADVOCATE STAFF Rogers and Hammerstein’s Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is on stage this week at the Memorial Centre. Presented by students from Notre Dame High School, the production combines music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice to chronicle the life of Joseph, his father’s favourite son, as originally told in the Old Testament. Joseph is sold into slavery by his jealous

brothers and endures a number of adventures that test his character and spirit. The production uses a number of musical styles to tell the story. The show involves 60 students in both the drama and music programs at the school, plus a number of younger students who make up a children’s choir. The musical started its run at the Red Deer Memorial Centre on Thursday and continues through Saturday. Tickets are available at the door, with shows tonight and Saturday at 7 p.m., plus a matinee performance at 1 p.m. on Saturday. The Memorial Centre is located in Red Deer at 4212 58th St.

The Baker, played by Jacob Gosse, is put in chains.

C2 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Feb. 13, 2015 The Red Deer man was further charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and flight from police. They were to appear in Saskatoon provincial court Thursday with regard to the theft of a truck from Sundre. An application has been made to have their warrants extended to Saskatchewan for their continued detention and returned to Alberta for court appearances in Didsbury court. A 24-year-old Rocky Mountain House man turned himself into Sundre RCMP on Wednesday after police released a sketch of him. He has been charged in connection with the attempted robberies, after video surveillance caught a man on camera. The camera spotted a man using what police believe was a BB calibre handgun at attempted robberies at two service stations early Monday morning. In both cases, the man produced a weapon but left the service station empty-handed. The Rocky Mountain House man also faces charges related to a vehicle theft from Airdrie, and one from Sundre.

BRIEFS Police warn motorists to lock, turn off vehicles after theft of running SUV Blackfalds RCMP are reminding motorists to lock their vehicles after security footage revealed a suspect sitting and waiting for an opportunity to steal vehicles in a parking lot. Police received a complaint of a stolen SUV from the Fas Gas parking lot in Burnt Lake Industrial Park along Hwy 11, west of Red Deer, around 10:55 a.m. on Feb. 7. According to police, the driver pulled into the parking lot, left it running and unlocked before going into the store. The SUV was gone when he returned. Blackfalds RCMP reviewed security video and it revealed a man in a silver half ton truck sitting in the parking lot watching vehicles entering. A man got out of the silver half ton truck, put on a balaclava, walked pass another patron, and got into the SUV and drove away. Police said the incident took less than one minute. The SUV was recovered the next day near Rocky Mountain House with extensive damage after being in a single-vehicle collision. The public is reminded to lock their vehicles at all times when unattended and shut them off when running errands. Investigators are asking anyone who may have information regarding this occurrence to contact Blackfalds RCMP at 403-885-3300. To remain anonymous contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or at www.tipsubmit.com.

Northwestern Air pulling out of Red Deer BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Northwestern Air Lease Ltd. is pulling the chute on its operations at the Red Deer Airport. Jim Heidema, chief operating officer of the Fort Smith, N.W.T.-based airline, confirmed on Thursday that scheduled passenger service between Red Deer and Kelowna will end on March 2. Northwestern will withdraw from the Red Deer Airport the same day. Earlier this week, Northwestern announced that it would discontinue scheduled passenger service from Red Deer to Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie, effective Feb. 17. But it indicated at that time that it would continue to fly between Red Deer and Kelowna. Heidema said the subsequent decision to leave Red Deer completely was motivated by a closer look at the books. “We had intended to go longer in Kelowna,” he said, explaining that the route was performing better than those

to Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray. “We finally got a bunch of numbers in from our accountant and looked at what the trend was, and if the trend improved what effect that would have on the overall cost of operating out of Red Deer; and the numbers just were not there.” Heidema said Northwestern has nine staff based out of Red Deer. All have been offered employment with the airline elsewhere, and about half have accepted. RJ Steenstra, CEO of the Red Deer Airport, said Northwestern’s departure is disappointing. In addition to the local job losses, it will reduce the airport’s connectivity to other centres and mean a loss of landing and terminal fees. “But we just have to make some adjustments and we can absorb that,” said Steenstra of the lost revenue. He added that Air Canada, which offers three return flights daily between Red Deer and Calgary, accounted for most of the local passengers and will be able to accommodate those who previously flew with Northwestern, Northwestern has flown out of the

Red Deer Airport since April 2012, and prior to that from 2006 to 2010. It had been flying between Red Deer and Kelowna five days a week, and between Red Deer and Fort McMurray as frequently as four days a week. Fourday-a-week service between Red Deer and Grande Prairie was added on Dec. 1, 2014. Heidema said the company’s operations have been hurt by the low Canadian dollar, since Northwestern buys its parts in U.S. dollars. “It’s now costing us 25 to 30 cents more on the dollar to buy our parts.” Low energy prices have slowed the volume of passengers flying north from Red Deer to Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie, he added, and the slowing Alberta economy has many people thinking twice about air travel. Northwestern has also been hurt by the arrival of Air Canada at the Red Deer Airport in September 2013. Heidema said it’s been tough to compete with the international carrier, which he thinks is flying passengers from Red Deer at a loss so that it can get them into the Air Canada network. “We were doing actually quite well

until Air Canada arrived on the scene in Red Deer.” Heidema praised the efforts of Steenstra in helping Northwestern and raising the profile of the airport, but said many Central Albertans continue to fly out of Calgary or Edmonton. For some, it’s habit; for others, it allows them to earn compensation from their employers for vehicle use; and for others, it’s a lack of awareness of the Red Deer Airport, he said. Steenstra thinks Northwestern has also been hurt by a drop in demand for its charter services. Despite this setback, he remains confident in the potential of the Red Deer Airport. “We’re focused on attracting more services into Red Deer, and all of those conversations are going very well.” He doesn’t think Northwestern’s departure will hurt his business case, pointing out that only 4.6 per cent on the region’s travellers currently use the Red Deer Airport, so there’s a huge untapped market. “The reality is, the numbers are there.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEF LaForge coming to Red Deer The president and chief operation officer of the Oilers Entertainment Group will be in Red Deer on Feb. 25 to present at the Red Deer & District Chamber of Commerce Key Speaker Series. Patrick LaForge has been a member of the Oilers organization since 2000. He was the driving force behind The Heritage Classic, which became the NHL’s first regular season outdoor game on Nov. 22, 2003, with the Oilers playing the Montreal Canadiens. LaForge is an alternate NHL governor and a governor of the Western Hockey League. He was named one of Alberta’s 50 most influential people and received the Consumer Choice Award as Edmonton Business Person of the year in 2008, and was selected as a Globe and Mail Top 25 Sports Leader in Canada in 2002 and 2003. Beyond hockey, LaForge has been active with sports and entertainment organizations involved in ski racing, auto racing and professional rodeo.

ATB Financial posts solid quarter BY ADVOCATE STAFF

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Despite growing economic headwinds, ATB Financial posted net income of $91.5 million during the three months ended Dec. 31. The Alberta Crown corporation reported its third quarter results on Thursday, with income up nearly 23 per cent over the $74.6 million earned a year earlier. A release issued by ATB Financial said customer loans reached $36.7 billion during the quarter, up from $32.7

billion in the same period of 2013. Deposits grew to $29.8 billion from $26.6 billion. “It was another solid quarter for ATB but, in a way, that’s looking back,” said Dave Mowat, ATB Financial’s president and CEO. “We now see a different landscape taking shape.” The financial institution said it’s increased its allowance for loan losses by $18.8 million for the third quarter, and that its expense for credit losses

in the quarter was up $11.4 million from the same quarter a year ago. This expense could be higher during the final quarter of the current fiscal year, it added. “As the price of oil continues to sag, it could be a tough go for some Albertans over the next few months,” explained Mowat. “We always say, ‘As Alberta goes, ATB goes,’ so we’re bound to feel the effects of a softer economy.”

Rifco sees drop in Q3 income Red Deer-based Rifco Inc. (TSXV: RFC) has reported a drop in its third quarter income to $810,000 for the three months ended Dec. 31, as compared with $1.4 million for the same period in 2013. Much of the difference reflected provisions for impairment and credit losses. The company said in a release that its loan delinquency rate was higher than expected, with the declining petroleum prices and the resulting impact on employment factors at play. Despite its drop in income, Rifco posted a more than 50 per cent increase in loan originations, to $38.5 million, and record receivables of $251 million for the quarter. That contributed to a 34 per cent jump in financial revenue, to $10.3 million. Operating through its wholly owned subsidiary, Rifco National Auto Finance Corp., Rifco provides automobile loans to consumers through a dealership network across Canada.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — Resource stocks gave the Toronto stock market a solid advance Thursday as a weaker U.S. dollar helped send prices for oil and metals higher. The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 77.02 points at 15,228.52, with gains limited by earnings misses from big Canadian insurers and a major corporate shakeup at transportation giant Bombardier Inc. (TSX:BBD.B). Bombardier shares tumbled 35 cents or 11.5 per cent to $2.69 after the Canadian corporate giant suspended its dividend and announced plans to raise up to C$2.5 billion. Bombardier has faced a string of delays related to its new CSeries jetliner and cost estimates keep climbing. “They have their issues with the CSeries; (it) seems like it’s taking forever,” said Allan Small, senior adviser at HollisWealth. “There’s no light at the end of the tunnel and the fact their stock is trading in the two-dollars-andchange range is not a surprise.”

Bombardier also announced that Pierre Beaudoin is stepping down as president and CEO and will take over as chairman from his father, Laurent, who is retiring. The Beaudoins are members of a family that has controlled the company since it was founded. General U.S. dollar weakness also pushed the Canadian dollar ahead 0.95 of a cent to 80.06 cents US. U.S. indexes were positive as investors focused on a ceasefire deal in Ukraine. France and Germany brokered a deal that will see a ceasefire take effect in Ukraine on Sunday. The Dow Jones industrials gained 110.24 points to 17,972.38, the Nasdaq composite index was ahead 56.43 points at 4,857.61 and the S&P 500 index advanced 19.95 points to 2,088.48. Insurance stocks also weighed on the TSX in the wake of earnings reports from Manulife Financial (TSX:MFC) and Sun Life Financial (TSX:SLF). Manulife’s core earnings were 36 cents per diluted share,

five cents below estimates. It also said that macroeconomic factors including low interest rates “produces headwinds in 2015.” “This low interest rate environment ensures they are going to struggle,” Small said. Sun Life’s net income on an adjusted basis came in at $360 million or 59 cents per share, missing estimates of 78 cents per share. Manulife fell 51 cents to $21.33 while Sun Life lost $2.73 to $39.23. The TSX energy sector was ahead 1.33 per cent as March crude gained $2.37 to US$51.21 a barrel. Cenovus Energy (TSX:CVE) expects to cut its workforce by about 15 per cent, with the bulk of the cuts coming from its contractors. Its shares dipped five cents to $24.63. Oil companies have scrambled to cut costs as prices have slid about 40 per cent since late November amid a huge supply/demand imbalance. The base metals sector ran up 4.25 per cent as April copper gained six cents to US$2.60 a

Adjusted earnings were 53 cents, in line with estimates, but its shares slipped a penny to $43.53. The Greek debt crisis also vied for investor attention after the country’s talks with eurozone creditors on overhauling its bailout loans broke down. Still, markets were optimistic a deal will be reached in time for Greece to avoid a potential exit from the euro.

Low price weighs on quarterly results BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — There was a splattering of red ink in the oilpatch Thursday, as the steep drop in oil prices weighed on the bottom lines of some of the energy sector’s biggest names in the last three months of 2014. Oilsands producer Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX:CVE) said it’s cutting its headcount by 15 per cent, mostly contractors, amounting to 800 positions. Husky Energy Inc. (TSX:HSE) also said there’s been a “small” reduction in its workforce, but declined to get more specific. And Precision Drilling Corp. (TSX:PD) said there’s not enough work these days to keep its crews busy. “I believe we are in for much greater volatility in oil prices for the foreseeable future and that’s why you’ve seen Cenovus preserve cash by moderating our growth and reducing our workforce,” Cenovus CEO Brian Ferguson said. Crude prices have been at around the US$50 a barrel mark for much of this year so far, after having hit US$107 a barrel last summer. The drop intensified toward the end of 2014. Cenovus posted a net loss of $472 million, widening from the previous year’s loss of $58 million. The results for the quarter included a $497-million charge related to its Pelican Lake oil project in Alberta due to the drop in oil prices and a slowing of the development plan for the project. Some expansion work at Cenovus’ flagship Foster Creek and Christina Lake oilsands projects is winding down, though phases that are further along in development are continuing as planned. Last month, Cenovus cut its 2015 capital budget by $700 million to $1.8 billion and $2 billion.

Cenovus has been looking at a deal to get more value out of its royalty lands in Alberta. Although interest has been strong, Ferguson said the timing is bad. “I don’t want to be guilty of doing the right thing at the wrong time,” he said. Meanwhile, Husky booked a $603-million net loss during the quarter, compared with net earnings of $177 million during the same 2013 period mostly because of asset writedowns and inventory reductions. Excluding those, Husky’s net earnings for the quarter were $147 million. It’s shaving up to $400 million from its previous 2015 budget of $3.4 billion and seeking $400 million and $600 million of operational cost savings, mostly from its suppliers and contractors. Husky produces oil and gas in Western Canada, Southeast Asia and off Canada’s East Coast. It also has refineries and retail fuel stations. The crude downturn has been particularly tough on companies that are hired by producers to drill wells, like Precision Drilling Corp. (TSX:PD). Precision announced a net loss of $114 million Thursday, compared with a profit of $68 million in the same 2013 quarter as the industry was forced to adjust to a “swift and severe” decline in crude prices, said CEO Kevin Neveu. About to 20 to 25 rig hands work on each active drilling rig. Right now about 50 fewer Precision rigs are running than at the same time a year ago, Neveu said. There just isn’t enough work for those rig hands these days. When things improve, Neveu said Precision will do “everything it can” to get those same crews back. “Industry downturns are difficult for all, but they affect our rig crews more than anybody else.”

Bombardier brings in relief pilot to turn around the company BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Bombardier is undergoing another executive shakeup, this time switching its chief executive and chairman as it adjusts to the soaring cost of the new CSeries passenger jet. Laurent Beaudoin — a member of the family that has controlled the company since it was founded — will be replaced as chairman of the board by his son Pierre, who is stepping down as CEO after nearly seven years. Alain Bellemare, who spent 18 years at United Technologies Corp. including at its Pratt and Whitney division, becomes Bombardier’s president and CEO effective Friday. “What’s important is that we ensure the company’s financial health in the long term. This is a jewel in Quebec and Canada,” Bellemare, 53, said in a conference call with analysts Thursday. Pierre Beaudoin said he called Bellemare just after his departure from UTC was announced Jan. 15 but denied the call was in response to investor criticism of Bombardier’s management in light of program delays and cash concerns. Beaudoin, 52, said he will be a fulltime chairman focused on merger and

acquisition opportunities and finances. He will work closely with Bellemare but rejected suggestions he would effectively be a co-CEO. Benoit Poirier of Desjardins Capital Markets said Bellemare’s arrival will be well received by investors “because of the street’s lack of confidence in current management and Bellemare’s strong background.” The changes came as the company said it lost $1.59 billion or 92 cents per share in its fourth quarter compared with a profit of $97 million or five cents per share a year ago. Revenue totalled $5.96 billion, up from $5.32 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013. The loss for the quarter included a $1.4-billion charge related to a pause of its Learjet 85 program announced last month. Company executives also disclosed during a conference call Thursday that the CSeries program’s cost has soared to US$5.4 billion from US$4.23 billion a year ago following a four-month delay in flight tests because of an engine failure. The aircraft is scheduled to enter into service by year-end. Bombardier also announced that it will suspend dividend payments and will seek shareholder permission to issue US$600 million in new shares and about US$1.5 billion in debt to bolster its cash reserves.

A Canadian Pacific Rail maintenance worker climbs onto a locomotive at the company’s Port Coquitlam yard east of Vancouver, B.C., on Wednesday May 23, 2012. The union representing safety and maintenance workers at Canadian Pacific Railway issued strike notice on the company Thursday and could be off the job by the weekend if negotiations on a new contract fail.

Unifor serves strike notice on CP Rail BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Federal Labour Minister Kellie Leitch remains hopeful that an agreement can be reached in time to avert a railway strike after a second union issued strike notice on Thursday. The union representing safety and maintenance workers at Canadian Pacific Railway said its members from across the country could be off the job by the weekend if negotiations on a new contract fail. Earlier this week, the union representing locomotive engineers and other workers served CP with same midnight Saturday deadline. The 1,800 safety and maintenance workers are represented by Unifor while the 3,300 locomotive engineers conductors, trainmen and yardmen from across Canada are represented by the Teamsters Canada Rail conference union. The labour strife could hamper freight service across the country, but negotiations are ongoing in Montreal with the help of federal mediators. Leitch said in an email that it would be “inappropriate” to speculate on what, if any government action could be taken while negotiations were still ongoing. In 2012, the federal government passed legislation to force an end to a nine-day strike by some 4,800 striking members of the Teamsters union and CP Rail employees. The government said at the time that a prolonged strike would cost the Canadian economy $540 million a week. Leitch said Thursday that a negoti-

D I L B E R T

ated settlement is the best-case scenario. “We believe that the best solution is the one that parties reach themselves ... We strongly encourage both sides to work together and reach an agreement that will ensure the continuation of rail services,” she said. Unifor’s national rail director Brian Stevens said the two sides remain far apart on the issues, which include working conditions, representation, health and safety. “Anything is entirely possible. Our intention here is to bargain a negotiated settlement,” Stevens said. “We have a long way to go, and there’s a short time to get there.” In the event of a strike, Canadian Pacific (TSX:CP) said this week it would “implement its extensive contingency plan by deploying qualified management employees to maintain a reduced freight service on its Canadian network.” Jeremy Berry, a spokesman for CP, said all sides remained at the table and they were working hard to reach an agreement. The Unifor workers perform safety inspections on all rail cars and locomotives, as well as maintenance and repairs on trains. Stevens said that in his opinion, a strike would have an immediate impact on locomotive availability and the overall safety and maintenance of the fleet. “The locomotive fleet will be impacted because the bulk of our employees at CP rail are tradespersons,” he said. “There are safety standards to both the locomotive fleet and the rail cars, and our members are the professionals who are trained and qualified safety and maintenance professionals.”

Idea of hacking Earth moves from fringe to lab BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — It’s time to study and maybe even test the idea of cooling the Earth by injecting sulfur pollution high in the air to reflect the sun’s heat, a first-of-its-kind U.S. science report said this week. The idea was once considered fringe — to purposely re-engineer the planet’s climate as a last ditch effort to battle global warming with an artificial cloud. No longer. In a nuanced, two-volume report, the National Academy of Sciences said that the concept should not be acted upon immediately because it is too risky, but it should be studied and perhaps tested outdoors in small projects. It could be a relatively cheap, effective and quick way to cool the planet by mimicking the natural effects on climate of large volcanic eruptions, but scientists concede there could be dramatic and dangerous side effects that they don’t know about. Because warming has worsened and some countries might act unilaterally, scientists said research is needed to calculate the consequences. Panel chairwoman Marcia McNutt, editor of the journal Science and former director of the U.S. Geological Survey, said in an interview that the public should read this report “and say, ’This is downright scary.’ And they should say, ’If this is our Hail Mary, what a scary, scary place we are in.”’ This is the first time a government-associated science panel talked about the controlled small scale outdoor tests of the artificial cloud concept, called solar radiation management or SRM. But even then panelists downplayed the idea and said it would require some kind of government or other oversight before it is done. “Yes, small scale outdoor tests might be allowed, but it wouldn’t just be in the hands of scientists to decide what’s allowable and what’s not allowable,” McNutt said. “Civil society needs to engage in these discussions where the line is to be drawn.” Some scientists worry that research itself it will make this type of planet hacking more likely to occur. “This creates a bit of what we call a moral hazard,” said Waleed Abdalati, a University of Colorado ice scientist and former NASA chief scientist who co-authored the report. “There will likely come a time we’re going to want to know the ramifications of that kind of action. ... You’re talking about potentially changing weather and climate. You don’t want to do that without as good an understanding as you can possibly have.” And the committee scientists said once you start this type of tinkering, it would be difficult to stop because warming would come back with such a force. So a decision to spray particles into the air would have to continue for more than 1,000 years. The report was requested by U.S. intelligence

BRIEF Museum announces previously unknown souvenirs from 1969 moon mission NEW YORK — More than four decades after the Apollo 11 moon landing, a cloth bag full of souvenirs brought back by astronaut Neil Armstrong has come to light. Among the trove: a 16 mm movie camera from inside the lunar module that filmed its descent to the moon and Armstrong’s first steps on the lunar surface in 1969. That camera “took one of the most significant sets of images in the 20th century,” said Allan Needell, a curator in space history at the National Air and Space Museum. In an interview Monday, Needell said the museum had been told about the bag in June 2013 by Armstrong’s widow, who had found it while cleaning out a closet in their suburban Cincinnati home. Armstrong died in 2012. The long process of documenting the find concluded only recently, and that’s when the museum decided to go public, he said. The discovery was revealed Friday by the museum, which is already displaying the camera in a temporary exhibit. Needell noted that the images taken by the camera are far more detailed and clear than the grainy ones shown on TV at the time of the landing. The film cartridges had been removed during the mission and so the device itself was no longer needed. The camera would have stayed on the lunar module, which crashed on the lunar surface after delivering the astronauts back to the orbiter, Needell said, but Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins “decided to take some souvenirs home with them.” It had long been common knowledge that astronauts sometimes took pieces of unneeded equipment as souvenirs, Needell said. Congress recently passed a law approving the practice. The cloth bag also included other small pieces of equipment, including a waist tether that Armstrong had used to suspend his feet during a rest period while the module was on the moon. Needell called the bag’s discovery “extraordinarily exciting.”

SpaceX takes third shot at launching deep-space observatory, nixes landing test due to rough sea CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The SpaceX launch of a deep-space observatory is still on. But the company has called off its attempt to land the booster rocket on an ocean platform. With just 2 ½ hours remaining in the countdown, SpaceX said waves as high as three stories were crashing over the decks of the floating platform. Also, one of four engines needed to hold the platform steady was not working. SpaceX says the booster will still attempt a “soft landing” in the waters off the Florida coast. But the company does not expect it to survive in the rough seas. This would have been the second such landing test. Last month’s demo ended in flames. Everything in the countdown, at least, is going well, with excellent weather forecast for the sunset launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

agencies, academy president Ralph J. Ciccerone said. Because the world is not reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases that cause global warming, scientists have been forced “to at least consider what is known as geoengineering,” he said. The panel did favour technology to suck carbon dioxide from the air and bury it underground. But unlike the artificial cloud concept, it would be costly and take decades to cool the planet. The panel wrote a separate volume on this method with the idea of distancing the concept from the idea of the artificial cloud, which McNutt described as a political hot potato. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of the burning of coal, oil and gas. Removing it from the air treats the cause of man-made global warming, while deflecting the sun with an artificial cloud only treats the symptoms and does nothing about ocean acidification, the report said.

lution in the air to see what happens. Rutgers University scientist Alan Robock said it would be interesting to spray a small sulfur dioxide into a cloud, and use a blimp or drone to measure what happens. But that should only be done with proper oversight, he said. Other climate scientists are adamantly against injecting sulphates into the air, even as a last ditch effort. Such an idea “could do far more harm than good” and scientists should treat the Earth like doctors do their patients, abiding by the rule “first, do no harm,” said Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann. But he favours increased study of the issue “if only for one purpose: to expose just how dangerous many of these schemes might be.” While the artificial cloud idea is a much worse option that carbon dioxide removal, it is more attractive to some people because “we could probably do it right now,” said Texas A&M University atmospheric sciences professor Andrew Dessler. “There’s really very little that’s technologically standing in our way.”

Crime novel keeps readers guessing The Forgotten Girls By Sara Blaedel Grand Central Publishing A woman is running for her life in a forest in Denmark, trying to escape the darkness of someone or something she refers to as Gone. The next morning, she is found dead, after falling off a deep slope. Louise Rink and Eik Nordstorm, the leading officers of Denmark’s Missing Persons KIRSTEN Department, must find the LOWE identity of the dead mystery woman, and investigate her past. During the autopsy, the examiner makes it clear that they are not dealing with an ordinary woman. She has a distinct old scar (from a burn) from her face to her shoulder that should making identification easy. But they haven’t been able to put a name to her face. Her hair, fingernails and toenails are overgrown from neglect. Her teeth are rotten. She had a large cavity system in her brain (meaning she was mentally handicapped). Louise releases a picture of the woman to the media in hopes that she will be recognized. She receives a phone call from Agnete Eskildsen, who says that she used to be a health-care aide at a mental health centre for children and that the mystery wom-

Photojournalists, particularly the ones who repeatedly cover war zones, have a reputation for being tough, fearless, sometimes cavalier and repeatedly lucky in a way that defies logic. So, it’s striking the number of times Lynsey Addario writes in her memoir, It’s What I Do, how often she was scared or had had enough of the misery she was assigned to cover. It’s reassuring to know that Pulitzer Prize winners and people who win MacArthur “genius” grants have moments of vulnerability, too. Her ability to capture that vulnerability in her subjects, often in extreme circumstances, has propelled Addario to the top of her competitive field. Addario’s memoir details the physical risks she faces in conflict zones with her colleagues, including local men hired to drive and translate for her. She survived a serious car crash and being kidnapped twice while on assignment; two of her drivers did not. She also exposes the risks particular to women working in journalism, and arguably not just those who report in the Middle East. Addario gets the shot while enduring casual sexual harassment, the fear of that harassment escalating to assault and the horror of that assault when it happens. She also writes about fighting off the fear of being perceived as weak if she points out the harassment to her male colleagues, who are oblivious to what’s happening to her as they compare images, because this sort of thing never happens to them. Addario writes most, though, about the other side of war: attending the funerals of friends and colleagues, the fights with editors over images that make faraway readers uncomfortable and the strained relationships with people who don’t work on deadline. The stakes were just as high in her personal life, and she suffered from a serious fear of missing TELUS HIGH WIRELESS SPEED out as her friends and TELUS TWO WAY DATA DEVICES INTERNET OPTIK TV RADIO sisters hit all the mileSERVICES stones that “responsible grown-ups” are supposed to hit. It’s What I Do chronicles Addario’s shift from focusing on the latest big story to more personal projects that explore the intricacies of working in foreign cultures and making them relatable to readers elsewhere. She spends less time talking about the images she made of Taliban men than about the hospitality they showed her, their cultural rituals of tea and their pride in their children. There’s not much discussion about photography gear or technique in Addario’s memoir, except for this: find good mentors who help polish your skills and connect with the people you are photographing. She mentions more than once looking her subjects in the eye and finding a way to communicate — in other words, she’s looking for humanGREAT THINGS HAPPEN WHEN YOU GO ity before she picks up her camera.

an’s name is Lisemette Anderson. She was taken in when she was three years old and she got the distinctive scar when she was eight years old. The investigation takes Louise and Eik down a disturbing path, as they examine the history of Eliselund Day Center, once a home for mentally handicapped children. The building is dark and forboding, and so is its history. Louise and Eik discover that staff pushed parents to move on with life and forget their children, telling them that the ongoing visits from parents were too hard for the “forgotten children” or “forgotten girls.” The archives locked up in the basement show no record of a Lisemette Anderson. But there are records labeled Lise Anderson and Mette Anderson, twin sisters. Both girl were issued death certificates 30 years ago, their times of death only one minute apart. Which twin was found? And where is her sister since the certificates are obviously forged? During this investigation, a spree of attacks on women start happening in the same woods where one of the twins was found, and the DNA left by the attacker is a match to the DNA that was found on the twin’s body. Blaedel’s novel is structured so that as soon as things start to push forward, a twist either pushes the investigation two steps back or leads it on a whole other path. The reader is drawn in to find out what is going on and if this crime ever be solved? Kirsten Lowe is a local Red Deer College student and freelance book reviewer.

BRIEF Police use stun gun to free stuck buck after two deer found in Minnesota with antlers entwined SHOREWOOD, Minn. — Police in Minnesota used a stun gun to free a live buck that was stuck to a dead deer.

South Lake Minnetonka Police were called to the strange sight at a home in Shorewood in the Twin Cities area on Sunday morning. The antlers of the two bucks were locked together when police arrived. One deer was dead and the other was thrashing around, trying to break free. After assessing the situation, officers shocked the live deer with a Taser. Then residents helped quickly saw off one of its antlers. The deer ran off after coming to. Patrol officer Ricky Syhre tells the Star Tribune that the bucks probably were stuck together for hours. The officers spoke with wildlife agencies about how they might safely untangle the bucks.

Robbin Edgar playing Ravenswaal and Tara Rorke as Anita rehearse the Central Alberta Theatre play Wrong Turn at Lungfish in the Nickle Studio.

A battle between brain and heart POIGNANT DRAMEDY TAKES AUDIENCE ON A ROLLER-COASTER OF EMOTIONS BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

Craig Scott was feeling conflicted after reading the script for the latest Central Alberta Theatre play Wrong Turn at Lungfish. “My brain was telling me ‘I can’t direct this, I don’t have time,’” he recalled. “But my heart was telling me ‘I have to make time, because someone has to do this.’” Since he felt the play deserves to be seen, Scott stepped up to helm it. The Red Deer salesman and veteran CAT actor then spent three months trying to line up the right community actors for the four-person cast — in part because older male thespians are always in short supply in the region. Now Wrong Turn at Lungfish is set to open on Thursday, Feb. 19, at the Nickle Studio, upstairs at Red Deer’s Memorial Centre.

WRONG TURN AT LUNGFISH The dramedy, whose title references when evolution went off the rails, is written by Garry Marshall (of Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley fame) and Lowell Ganz. It starred George C. Scott, Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne) and Tony Danza when it premiered on stage in 1993. The plot is about what happens when a dying, blind curmudgeon named Peter Ravenswaal (played by Innisfail actor Robbin Edgar) meets Anita Meredino, a street-smart 20-something woman who volunteers to read to him in the hospital. (She will be portrayed by CAT veteran Tara Rorke.) Scott believes the theme boils down to the very same thing he experienced — a battle between brain and heart. “The way I see it, Peter symbolizes the brain and (Anita) symbolizes the

heart and soul of a human being. He thinks logic and science rule the world, and she thinks faith and hope rule the world — and their relationship starts out in animosity and fear,” said Scott. Peter, a retired professor in his 60s, begins by insulting Anita because he’s rude to everyone. She thinks it’s funny, because, as it turns out, Anita has learned to live with abuse. Over the course of the play, the two discuss and/or debate a variety of big questions, from ‘Does God exist?’ to ‘Why are we here on this Earth?’ Through these exchanges, Scott believes the audience begins to understand why Peter is bitter and why Anita has come to accept her lot in life. He said both characters will influence each other and shift towards a common ground. “Peter lets his heart

start to take over ... and Anita realizes maybe she shouldn’t accept some things, and thinks, ‘maybe I should stand up for myself.’” Wrong Turn at Lungfish was described as a poignant play and, Scott said, “I think that’s the perfect word.” He believes its story line, also involving Peter’s nurse and Anita’s boyfriend, goes a little deeper than many of the farces and comedies that CAT has staged. “I’m a drama kind of guy ... I want the audience to be on a roller-coaster of emotions — happy at times and sad at times.” Scott hopes viewers will ask themselves some of the same questions plaguing Peter and Anita. “Do I have any regrets in life? How can I change before it’s too late?” Tickets to the 7:30 p.m. shows (2 p.m. matinees Feb. 22 and March 1) are $32.70 from the Black Knight Ticket Centre. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Blues musicians flocking to Fratters DAVID GOGO, DAVID VEST TO PLAY ON CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Two Maple Blues Award-winning musicians will provide consecutive evenings of blues-tinged entertainment in Red Deer. Guitarist David Gogo and piano player David Vest have performed together before, but are scheduled for separate shows next week at Fratters Speakeasy. Gogo performs a solo acoustic concert at the club on Friday, Feb. 20, while Vest plays with his band at Fratters on Saturday, Feb. 21. Besides sharing the same first name, both B.C.-based singer/musicians are signed to Cordova Bay Records. Each has also won two prestigious Maple Blues Awards. Vest, who has lived in Victoria since 2004 but hails from Alabama, viewed his first national recognition as a kind of “Welcome to Canada!” statement. His second Maple Blues Award, which he won just last month for piano/keyboard player of the year, is seen as a happy acknowledgement that he’s here to stay. “They seem to like my music here,” said the 71-year-old, who’s married to a Canadian and is a permanent resident in the country. As more proof of his warm acceptance by Canadians, Vest’s most recent release, Roadhouse Revelation, is getting a lot of airplay on local radio stations. Vest is particularly pleased about this. “I wrote all but one song myself,” said the keyboardist, who was

Several songs contain train references, including Freight Train Rolling,

which was inspired by a heart-stopping incident that happened to Vest and his band near Bow Island, Alta. A freight train suddenly appeared on a track they had assumed to be abandoned. Their driver managed to brake just in time, recalled Vest. “If he hadn’t, something bad would have happened.” The singer/pianist is anticipating performing some of his blues originals

and some standards in Red Deer on Saturday with a four-piece band. “I hope people will get up and dance,” said Vest. It’s been several years since Nanaimo, B.C., resident Gogo performed in Red Deer — his last gig here was as opening act for Johnny Winter. Friday’s acoustic show will feature Gogo playing blues tunes on his 1930s National steel guitar. The songs are inspired by his pilgrimage down to Mississippi. His Juno Award-nominated 2013 album, Come on Down, contains songs spun out of that visit to the Southern States. And Gogo plans to share some of his fascinating road trip stories with the Fratters crowd. “It was amazing. We managed to cram so much into each day,” recalled Gogo, who drove down with his wife. One day the couple met Sonny Payne, now well into his 80s, who’s run a blues radio show out of Helena, Ark., for the past 60 years. When Gogo mentioned that he’s a Canadian blues guitarist who’s performed with B.B. King, Payne responded, “Oh, I met Riley for the first time in 1949!” Gogo was flabbergasted. Anyone who knows King by his given name must have really known him a long time ago, he said. After first listening to Gogo’s CD and deciding it merited air time, Payne ended up playing some of his music on his radio show. Gogo’s wife was asked to read a sponsor’s announcement live on air.

There are fragrance commercials with more heat than that produced by Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in Fifty Shades of Grey.

Kinky flick fails to click FILMMAKER PLAYS IT SAFE WITH BLAND ADAPTATION OF PULPY SEX NOVEL Fifty Shades of Grey Two stars (out of four) Rated: 18A A pulpy sex novel becomes a surprisingly conventional romance as “mommy porn” phenomenon Fifty Shades of Grey slides onto the silver screen. The film is McKinky for the masses, with lots of nudity (mostly female) but very little of the erotic punishment explored in the book. Vainly seeking to reach the widest possible audience, the makers of this exercise in banality stripped it of almost anything that could cause offence.

The sex scenes are so bland, the film could almost be shown on aircraft as is. There are fragrance commercials with more bedroom heat than this. Curiosity will have Fifty Shades fans flocking to multiplexes this weekend, but disappointment will in all likelihood be sending them home. Most problematic is the pairing of relative unknowns Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan as Anastasia Steele and Christian PETER Grey, the submissive/domiHOWELL nant duo of the story about a Seattle billionaire seeking to explore his violent sexual fetishes with a compliant female. She looks older and more experi-

enced than the virginal college student of the E.L. James bestseller. He looks younger, softer and considerably less menacing than the Olympian figure of purple prose, described as having “unfathomable grey eyes.” Those peepers prove to be all too fathomable, as Dornan fails to convey real depth to his character. His Christian is just your regular mixed-up rich kid with life issues, who doesn’t yet realize that the sting he feels upon his derrière when he gazes at Ana comes from Cupid’s arrow, not a riding crop. The cat o’ nine tails he wields in his “Red Room of Pain” is one tame tabby, and when he speaks of being “bonetwitchingly mad” at Ana for her disobedient behaviour, he barely seems peeved. If this movie wasn’t trying so desperately to shock and offend, this alpha male versus feisty female conceit

could be remounted as a screwball comedy. Something along the lines, say, of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn in His Girl Friday or Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail. Alas, Fifty Shades of Grey also aspires to make a big weepy statement, the familiar one about the good girl redeeming the naughty boy who swears he can’t feel love, but it fails in that regard as well. It sets up the story for multiple sequels rather than being a single satisfying movie. But it’s not a disaster. In fact, director Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy) and screenwriter Kelly Marcel (Saving Mr. Banks) deserve considerable credit for turning James’ risible drivel into something resembling an adult romance, if not a mature one.

ing to hear from our sponsor,’ and my wife would read ‘For all your hardware needs. ...’ It was real homey,” he recalled with a chuckle. Gogo also got to pour some bourbon on a grave reputed to belong to blues great Robert Johnson — while his spouse raised a skeptical eyebrow. “I went to the (car) trunk to get the bottle and she was like, well, I guess you’ve got to do this. ...” The 45-year-old guitarist loved see-

ing some of the dusty southern towns that Johnson wrote about in his songs. “I even saw some of the places where he played, although they’re empty now. ...” Gogo, who won Maple Blues Awards in 2002 and 2004, said he’s happy to be performing again in Red Deer. He might even test some newly written songs on the crowd. Gogo’s new, yet untitled, album is expected to be released by the sum-

mer. Tickets to Gogo’s show on Friday are $15. Tickets to Vest’s Saturday show are $20. Both shows are at 8:30 p.m. and tickets are available from the venue. Blues fans might also want to also check out Backbone, featuring Bill Dowey, on Thursday night at Fratters. Tickets are $20 from the venue.

Stewart has earned a break IT WAS TIME FOR HIM TO WRAP UP THE JOKE ANYWAY BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart has gotten in the habit of being correct about most things, thanks to his own intelligence as well as the cleverness of the writers and researchers who made The Daily Show With Jon Stewart an unwavering success for 16 years in the thorny fields of political satire and media criticism. So when he says it’s time for him to hang it up as host of the show he took over in January 1999, who can possibly disagree? “This show doesn’t deserve an even slightly restless host,” Stewart told his audience at the end of Tuesday night’s episode, formally announcing his imminent departure. “And neither do you.” Daily Show viewers’ loyalty and sentimentality may treat this news as an unthinkable development (consider how many young Americans have hardly known an election cycle without Stewart’s sardonic interpretation of the news and noise), but it’s entirely thinkable to anyone who began to sense, some years back, that Stewart and company had perfected the form and could advance it no further. His rambling, ad-libbed explanation for his decision to leave The Daily Show was pure Stewart, down to his brief and hokey imitation of a Frankenstein monster trying to fight back tears. He said that there was no firm date for his final episode — although he alluded to his contract’s end in September. “I don’t think I’m going to miss being on television every day, but I’m going to miss coming here every day,” he said. If he’s as smart and cognizant of the unvarnished truth as we believe him to be, then Stewart recognized that there was a whole other kind of The Daily Show waiting to be made, hosted by someone else, maybe something that’s not even called The Daily Show. His version of it had become comfortable; surely it is still great comfort to those who first flocked to it during Indecision 2000 and the Bush vs. Gore recount, or who desperately needed it in the darkest days of post-9/11 war-waging. To watch The Daily Show every single night before bed and to expect it to never, ever change or evolve, is like being a child who never outgrows Goodnight Moon. It gets old. It had to. What better example of this than the 25 minutes that preceded Stewart’s big bombshell Tuesday night? There was an intensely yet predictably sharp takedown of the conservative media’s (which is to always say Fox News’s) fawnfest over Jordan’s King Abdullah II, whom they say shows the very leader-

Television host Jon Stewart during a taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in New York in 2011. Comedy Central announced on Tuesday that Stewart will will leave The Daily Show later this year. ship skills they crave in a president — an irony tailor-made for Stewart’s ridicule, as well as his show’s vast, effective archive of news clips that, when assembled into a typical Daily Show collage, only enhance the absurdity of the talking point: “Why can’t Obama be more like this powerful Muslim king?” Stewart summed it up. “Which is weird ... because that’s actually been their biggest complaint about Obama.” That, followed by, of all possible guests on any possible weeknight, David Axelrod, the Obama campaign adviser who is now shilling a new 528-page memoir, Believer: My Forty Years in Politics. It was as if Stewart picked the perfect show to drop his own news, offering subliminal proof that The Daily Show

has been on a bit of a familiar loop for a while now. Still, you have to love the hyper-informed Stewart fans taking to social media after the news broke to wonder why he’d want to leave just as the 2016 presidential campaign machine is revving up? Won’t he miss it? Such people (I think they’re mainly in Washington and New York) never quite sense how easily the rest of us tire of politics, nor can they conceptualize the utter relief of not having to eat, live and breathe the certain horror that will form in the next presidential election. Good for Stewart — he can get as far away (or as close) to the insanity as he likes. He’s earned it. Hank Stuever is the Washington Post’s TV critic.

Rosie O’Donnell ends second tenure on daytime’s The View

Will Smith says he’s got the music ‘bug’; might record again

NEW YORK — Rosie O’Donnell has ended her second stint on The View, her goodbye about as short as her tenure. Holding her toddler daughter, O’Donnell made her exit Thursday in a segment that lasted barely 40 seconds. She thanked the show’s creator, Barbara Walters, and promised to bring her glue gun back someday for a crafting segment.

LOS ANGELES — Will Smith may be Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It again. He says he’s hoping to return to hip-hop and never stopped recording privately. Smith, whose last solo album was released in 2005, and Kanye West were photographed in a recording studio together in Brazil last February. “Oh, so you know. You’ve been paying attention?”

the 46-year-old actor said in a recent interview. “I did a fun thing with Jimmy Fallon the other night messing with music, so you know, I got the bug. I might see if I got one more in me.” Smith was the MC of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince with his childhood friend Jeffrey “DJ Jazzy Jeff” Townes. He starred in the TV series The Fresh Prince of BelAir. His films include Ali, The Pursuit of Happyness and the Men in Black movies. “Over the years I’ve always recorded,” he said. “... Yeah, tons of songs. But ... it’s nothing I like. Recording will be a part of my life forever whether or not I feel that something is of the quality for public consumption.” His new film, the crime comedy Focus, will be in theatres on Feb. 27.

Kitchens Engineered for Real Life

GREY: Impossible task They had an almost impossible task, trying to create a soft-porn romance that would arouse everyone while offending no one. Wisely dispensing with voice-over narrative, they’ve excised the “holy crap!” and “oh my” expletives that litter Ana’s account in the book. The movie also doesn’t meander the way the book does, although for those keeping score at home, Christian doesn’t administer his first spanking until the 1:40 mark of this two-hour tumble. Ana seems less of a little girl lost here, in part due to Johnson’s convincing performance, although that annoying lip-biting habit remains and the dear lamb seems to have no idea what a butt plug is used for. Taylor-Johnson and Marcel add humour the book lacks. They acknowledge the ridiculousness of the basic premise: billionaire kinkster Christian constantly seeks and grooms BDSM recruits, insisting they must sign reams of documents vowing secrecy and obedience on terms that are strictly negotiated. The signing ceremony is amusingly lit like a sunset walk along the beach, but rather than going barefoot in the sand Christian and Ana stroll their pens down a long list of “wills” and “won’ts,” with Ana very much the dominant voice on the “won’t” side of the ledger. It’s good that she’s always shown to be in command of her own destiny, no small matter at a time when the non-consensual violence allegedly perpetuated by Jian Ghomeshi and Bill Cosby against women is still very much top of mind. It’s hard not to think of these two when Ana finally gets around to asking Christian the billion-dollar question: “Why do you want to hurt me?” Peter Howell is a syndicated Toronto Star critic.

OTTOSEN-WILLARD Marie Elizabeth Marie said goodbye to her earthly life and hello to heaven on Sunday evening, February 8th at Bethany Collegeside in Red Deer, Alberta at the age of 94. She was born August 21, 1920 in Washington, DC to David and Cora Rittenhouse. She married Harold Ottosen on August 14, 1942, shortly before he was sent overseas to serve in World War II. Marie and Harold had seven children of whom six still live. They immigrated to Canada in 1967 and have called Alberta home ever since. Marie was educated as a teacher, however her first love was books and being a librarian. Marie was also a social activist supporting several causes including the prolife movement and Amnesty International. Her biggest love, though, has always been her family. After Harold’s passing in 1999, Marie grieved for many years until she met her second husband, Allan Willard. They were married on March 2, 2010. Marie is predeceased by, and now reunited with her parents, David and Cora Rittenhouse, three siblings, Robert Rittenhouse, David Rittenhouse, Jr. and Ruth Morris, as well as her infant daughter, Coralee (1958). She is survived by six children - Harold Ottosen, Jr., Donald Ottosen (Linda), Bud Ottosen (Eve), Charles Ottosen (Jean), Elizabeth Jackman (Arthur) and Bev Manning (John) - her 12 grandchildren David Jacob, Sam, Rebecca, David Michael, Kell, Brendan, Erin, Katrina, Diane, Lisa, Suzanne and Kimberly - and 13 great grandchildren. A service will be held on Saturday, February 14th, 1:00 pm at Christ’s Corridor Church (formerly Parkland Christian Church) 5515 - 43 Street, Red Deer with Parkland Funeral Homes in charge of arrangements. If you would like to honour Marie’s life she would be pleased if you made a donation to Red Deer Prolife. She would also be pleased if you read a book to a child.

HILLS Jean 1950 - 2015 Mrs. Jean Elizabeth ‘Jeannie’ Hills of Red Deer passed away after a courageous battle with cancer, at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Monday, February 9, 2015 at the age of 64 years. Jeannie was born as one of two sets of twins on March 27, 1950 in Kimpton, England to her loving parents, Hugh and Gwen Hills. She attended Kimpton Primary School and for all indications was happy making a life in the village. It wasn’t until she met and married Ian Hills, who would be her husband for thirtyeight years, that she ventured outside. After marrying on July 24, 1977, the couple moved across the ocean to Red Deer where Ian had begun a career as an accountant. It is here that they raised three children, five dogs, and a host of other pets and ‘adopted’ children. Jeannie had a natural smile and ease about her that drew people in. She made friends wherever she went; whether it was the ‘Three Mile Bend Crew’, Northern Reflections or Heywood Holmes coworkers, or countless friends made through her kids’ activities and everyday life. She started and ended the day with a coffee and was selfless in whatever she did. Her life was serenaded by music, particularly that of Rod Stewart, and she counted Christmas and vacationing in Hawaii as her favourite occasions. Jeannie is survived by her partner in life and loving husband, Ian; her sons, Christopher (Tracy) and Logan (Jen); her daughter, Kelly (Matt); her siblings, Les (Susan), Sandra (John), and Steve (Margaret); her many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and countless friends whose lives she touched; as well as her dog, Jasper. Family and friends may honour her at her Memorial Service at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta on Sunday, February 15, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. If desired, Memorial Donations in Jeannie’s honour may be made directly to the Alberta Cancer Foundation at www.albertacancer.ca/donate or the Red Deer Hospice Society at www.reddeerhospice.com Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com. Arrangements in care of Rhian Solecki, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.

In Loving Memory of BOB McMILLAN June 9, 1935 - Feb. 12, 2014 God saw you getting tired, The cure was not to be So He closed His arms around you And whispered “Come to Me”. You suffered much in silence Your Spirit did not bend You faced your trials with courage Until the very end. You tried so hard to stay with us Your fight was all in vain. God took you to His loving home And freed you from all pain. Never does a day go by That we don’t think of you A lump forms deep within our chests And tears begin to flow. So many times we’ve needed you To talk, to share, to laugh, If Love could have saved you You never would have died.

Ex-Marine charged in ‘American Sniper’ case tells police in video he took ’a couple of souls’

Canadians involved in another exchange with extremists in Iraq OTTAWA — Canadian troops were recently involved in another exchange of fire with extremists in northern Iraq, a skirmish that comes as the U.S. prepares to expand the scope of its special forces missions throughout the region. A draft resolution before the U.S. Congress would, if passed, authorize “ground combat operations in limited circumstances” and special forces missions targeting leaders of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. That will put pressure on the Harper government as it prepares to renew Canada’s commitment to the combat mission against ISIL, defence experts said Thursday. Capt. Paul Forget, a spokesman for the country’s joint operations command, refused to provide details Thursday on the latest episode, citing operational security. But Forget did say it was similar to three previous gun battles in which Canadian troops returned fire while visiting the front line during a planning exercise. There were no Canadian casualties, he said. “I quite honestly don’t want to get into the details because it is linking events, time and space with our SOF operators, and I re-

ally don’t want to make those linkages because for operational security reasons that indicates where they’re operating,” Forget said. “I would prefer not to go there.” Since early February, Canada’s CF-18s have conducted 14 airstrikes in support of Iraqi troops, but Forget could not say whether Canadian special forces had facilitated any of those bombing missions, beyond the 13 already announced. Under the draft resolution U.S. President Barack Obama unveiled Wednesday, American troops would begin formally providing similar, precise combat assistance, instead of just training at secure bases. But it was the proposal to “take military action against (ISIL) leadership” that caught the attention of defence experts, who say that it is a fundamental, long-awaited shift in strategy. In the military, the term is called “man-hunting” and it involves commando-style raids aimed not only at enemy commanders, but at their logistics people and possibly financiers as well. Roland Paris, director of the Centre for International Policy Studies at the University of Ottawa, said the war against ISIL is starting to look like Operation Enduring Freedom — the counter-terrorism

mission the U.S., Canada and allies mounted in southern Afghanistan against the Taliban. That mission went on largely in the shadows of the bigger deployment of conventional Canadian combat troops, who fought a major counter-insurgency campaign. “There is some rough parallel with what was taking place in Afghanistan, but obviously the context is very different,” said Paris. “There is no doubt that in Iraq right now it looks a lot more like a counter-terrorism mission.” And that is where it could get uncomfortable for the Harper government, which has thus far explained the increasing number of firefights by insisting the troops are not engaged in combat and only defending themselves. Man-hunting missions would change that. The federal cabinet will have to decide within a few weeks, when the combat mission comes up for renewal, whether it will allow the country’s elite soldiers to participate in those risky, highly surgical strikes. Steve Day, a former special operations commander, said in an interview that there are only a small, select group of countries with special forces that could conduct such operations along side the U.S.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STEPHENVILLE, Texas — Police video played in court Thursday showed a former Marine telling officers investigating the deaths of two men including “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle that he had “taken a couple of souls” and had more to take. The recording shows police trying to coax Eddie Ray Routh from a pickup in the hours after famed Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield were found dead at a shooting range in February 2013. Officers in the video are seen trying to talk Routh into surrendering as he makes comments such as, “Anarchy has been killing the world.” “He told us he’d taken a couple of souls and he had more souls to take,” Lancaster police Lt. Michael Smith testified Thursday. Defence attorneys have said Routh, 27, was insane when Kyle and Littlefield took him to a shooting range to provide support and camaraderie. Routh believed the men planned to kill him, his attorneys say. Routh faces life in prison without parole if convicted. The case has drawn intense interest, largely because of Kyle’s memoir, American Sniper, about serving four tours in Iraq. The Oscar-nominated film based on the book has grossed nearly $300 million. Prosecutors contend that Routh was calm and collected enough after the killings to drum up $2.36 to purchase two bean burritos from Taco Bell, and that a history of mental illness should not absolve Routh in the deaths.

D8 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Feb. 13, 2015

Egyptian court orders journalists freed on bail BUT THEIR FATE REMAINS MURKY conviction was based on “flawed evidence” and that the trial was marred by violations of the defendants’ rights, according to details of its ruling made public this week. President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi had rejected calls from the United States and other Western governments to pardon or commute the sentences. In July, he acknowledged that the heavy sentences had a “very negative” impact on his country’s reputation and that he wished they had never been put on trial. Egyptian officials have signalled they want to resolve the case and end the criticism ahead of a major economic conference next month to drum up international investment. Egypt’s ties with Qatar have thawed, and AlJazeera’s Egyptian affiliate was shut down. But officials have never said outright that the controversy would be worked out, insisting on the independence of the courts — and keeping Fahmy and Mohammed’s fate murky. Several outcomes are possible in the retrial. It could eventually throw out the case, acquit them, convict them but sentence them to time served, or impose more jail time, with the possibility of a pardon from el-Sissi. The journalists and their families say they were caught in the bitter feud between Egypt and Qatar, the Gulf nation that owns Al-Jazeera and is the main backer of the Muslim Brotherhood. Greste was deported under a hastily drawn up law allowing el-Sissi to deport foreigners who are on trial or have been convicted. Fahmy has applied for deportation under the same law, but the law itself is confusing and unclear. One defence lawyer, Khaled Abou Bakr, noted that Greste remains listed as a defendant in the case even after his deportation. In asking to be deported like Greste, Fahmy said security officials had pushed him into giving up his Egyptian citizenship so he could be sent to Canada, where he also has citizenship.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO — A court ordered two Al-Jazeera journalists freed on bail Thursday after more than a year in detention on terrorism charges in a case that human rights groups have called a sham. If authorities aim to eventually exonerate Canadian Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohammed, their strategy for doing so remains murky and slow as they apparently seek a face-saving way out of a legal process that has drawn international criticism of Egyptian justice. A solution was found for a third Al-Jazeera defendant, Australian Peter Greste, when he was deported two weeks ago to his great relief. But Thursday’s decision indicated the court was moving ahead with a retrial of Fahmy and Mohammed. The decision to release Fahmy and Mohammed brought tears of joy and relief by their relatives in the Cairo courtroom. Al-Jazeera called the decision “a small step in the right direction” but said the court should dismiss “this absurd case” and release both journalists unconditionally.“ The trial’s next session is set for Feb. 23. The journalists, who worked for AlJazeera’s English-language channel, were arrested in December 2013 and accused of belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood, which was branded a terrorist organization after the military ousted President Mohammed Morsi earlier that year. Egypt has been cracking down heavily on Morsi supporters, and the journalists were accused of being mouthpieces for the Brotherhood and falsifying footage to suggest that Egypt faces civil war. They rejected the charges against them, saying they were simply reporting the news. The journalists were convicted by a lower court on terrorism-related charges and sentenced to at least seven years in prison. The Court of Cassation, in ordering a retrial, said their

EU leaders agree on new anti-terror measures in wake of French attacks BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUSSELS — Spurred to action by last month’s terror attacks in France, European Union leaders agreed Thursday on an ambitious range of new steps to better protect their countries from terrorism. Actions unanimously endorsed at an EU summit meeting include the sharing of airline passenger data, tougher border controls on travellers and the detection and removal of Internet content promoting terrorism or extremism. “All citizens have the right to live free from fear, whatever their opinions or beliefs,” the EU leaders declared in a joint statement. “We will safeguard our common values and protect all from violence based on ethnic or religious motivations and racism.” Gilles de Kerchove, the EU’s top counter-terrorism official, told The Associated Press that the leaders’ action plan, some of which still requires approval by the European Parliament to go into effect, will make Europeans safer. It “keeps reducing our vulnerabilities,” De Kerchove said. In a report to the 28 EU member countries last month, De Kerchove warned “Europe is facing an unprecedented, diverse and serious terrorist threat.” Counter-terrorism policy shot to the top of the EU agenda following the Jan. 7-9 attacks in Paris against a satirical weekly, a policewoman and a kosher grocery store that claimed a total of 17 victims. The three gunmen, who proclaimed allegiance to Al-Qaida in Yemen and the Islamic State group, were also shot dead by French police. The attacks mobilized France and other EU member countries to seek more effective ways to deal with armed Islamic militancy, especially the problem of radicalized European-born Muslims who go to fight in Syria or

Iraq and then return home. The bloody violence in the French capital was “a game-changer” for EU counter-terrorism efforts, said Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer, senior trans-Atlantic fellow and director of the Paris office of the German Marshall Fund think-tank . To prepare for Thursday’s summit meeting in Brussels, EU foreign, finance and interior and justice ministers were ordered to draw up recommendations on what to do. The plan finally approved by the heads of state and government calls for a wide array of measures in fields ranging from foreign policy to the functioning of law enforcement agencies. In some instances, it insists on the need for rapid or urgent change. At a news conference, European Parliament President Martin Schulz signalled his clear willingness to cooperate, but said there are red lines he and other lawmakers will refuse to cross. He endorsed more systematic passport and customs controls on people coming and going from the socalled Schengen area of 26 European countries, 22 of which are EU members, but said movement inside the zone must remain unhindered. Schulz also warned that rashly curtailing individual rights in the name of boosting public safety would play into the terrorists’ hands by discrediting Western-style democracy. “We need to be a state of law and democracy,” Schulz said. “We need to protect our values.” Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb said it was imperative to strike “a careful balance between civil liberties and security.” An earlier attempt to launch an EUwide exchange of air traveller data for prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of terrorist offences and other serious crimes died in the European Parliament in 2013 when a committee rejected it on civil liberties grounds.
