Gone with the windrows CITY CREWS TO REMOVE ANNUAL IRRITATION FROM FRONT DRIVEWAYS BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Council has decided snowplows will do the heavy lifting by removing windrows from in front of residential driveways this winter. On Monday, city council passed changes to the Integrated & Acces-
sible Transportation Policy that will see windrows from front driveways cleared by city crews, who will move the snow to windrows on the remainder of the street. The move will increase the height of windrows and may affect on-street parking. “In my view, we’ve traded a wind-
row problem for a parking problem,” said Mayor Tara Veer. “Obviously none of us like windrows. The concern is that the trade-off for clearing windrows from the driveways is piling more snow on both sides of the street.” She said the city heard a substantial number of complaints about windrows
in front of driveways last year, but complaints depended on the size of windrows. Some windrows were small and people could just drive over them. But council decided to go back to the old model of clearing windrows from driveways.

Like a rock: Liberal candidate refusing to back down in face of lawsuit threat BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF
FEDERAL ELECTION
In the face of accusations of slander and liable, the Red Deer-Lacombe Liberal candidate is standing by statements the MP should return money raised during a visit from Mike Duffy. Last week, Liberal candidate Jeffrey Rock received a cease-and-desist letter from lawyer Craig Paterson, of Ponoka, on behalf of Blaine Calkins, the Conservative candidate for the Red Deer-Lacombe riding. The letter demands Rock to retract statements in a Sept. 12 press release. The letter goes on to threaten legal

FEDERAL PARTY LEADERS DEBATE FOREIGN POLICY A3 action if the statements are not retracted. “It’s intended to silence me and to bully me,” said Rock. “I will not allow either to happen. “I haven’t said anything that’s not public record and isn’t true.” In the Sept. 12 press release, Rock called on Calkins to return $4,185 to Canadian taxpayers or donate the money to charity. The money was
raised at an Oct. 13, 2009, Conservative riding association fundraiser, which included embattled Conservative senator Mike Duffy. The letter from Paterson calls the accusation that the fundraising done by Duffy for Calkins “was somehow wrong and as such Calkins engaged in inappropriate behaviour by allowing Mr. Duffy’s [sic] to fundraise on his behalf slander and liablass [sic].” The statement from Rock points to Duffy’s diary, entered as evidence at his trial, showing he often collected a Senate per diem while attending more than 45 fundraising events.

Handed a two-year-and-four-month sentence for a fatal hit and run, a New Brunswick man asked for his sentence to be longer. Sporting new defence counsel, Brent Robert Cameron, 27, formerly of Saint John, N.B., sat in the prisoner’s box wearing a black sweater with a collared shirt underneath. Cameron is convicted of failing to remain at the scene of a collision and mischief, for providing a false report to police. He was sentenced Monday in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench to 26 months jail by Justice John Little. Due to his pre-sentence custody credit, he has one year and four months left to serve. Paul Gabriel Bertin, 18, was killed in a collision on the Taylor Bridge at about 2 a.m. on Oct. 6, 2012. His body was found in the northbound lanes. “Paul will be a name I never forget,” said Cameron while apologizing to the Bertin family. RCMP witnesses said Cameron had reported his vehicle stolen later in the day and that it was found damaged and abandoned on a side street in Riverside Meadows, blocks from the scene of the collision. Little said he was originally going to sentence Cameron to 28 months in custody, but reduced the sentence to 26 months after hearing Cameron address the court and show remorse for his actions. Cameron asked for his sentence to be longer so he could do his time at a federal correctional facility and take advantage of the better mental health and educational programs. Little did not increase his sentence or reduce Cameron’s pre-sentence custody credit. Instead he agreed to sign a recommendation that Cameron serve his time in a federal correctional facility. During his time at the Red Deer Remand Centre, a provincial correctional institution, Aloneissi said Cameron was triple-bunked in a cell intended for two inmates for a few months.
