RED DEER ADVOCATE REPORTER PAUL COWLEY SHARES HIS TAKE-AWAYS FROM FOOD TRUCK FRIDAY

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF If you are lucky enough to have lunched in Red Deer all summer long on the company’s tab, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for food trucks are a moveable feast.

Now that I’ve set Ernest Hemingway’s remains a-spinning in Ketchum, Idaho, I will look back on my summer of Food Truck Fridays and a couple of side trips to Sylvan Lake’s Food Truck Thursdays.

So what comes to mind?

I ate well. When a man eats well at a food truck, it is something pure and good and natural. For those moments, what was once bad seems better and what was good feels changed, more honest.

Dang! Can’t seem to shake that Hemingway vibe.

Sorry whirring Papa.

Let’s start again.

My biggest take-away from my food truck experience was that the dishes were a cut above.

Bottom line: I’d heard the food trucks are good.

And they are.

Just look at a few of the dishes I sampled: ● Southeast Asia-inspired pork and cabbage bowl, topped surprisingly with a fried egg. (The Good Stuff) ● Grilled cheese sandwich with maple syrup, bacon and slices of Granny Smith apple (Chedda’ Heads)

Local BRIEFS Delays push back opening of Beacon Hill Elementary to Nov. 15 Sylvan Lake’s newest elementary school is off to a late start.

Beacon Hill Elementary School was slated to open on Sept. 1 but a few weather-related and other hiccups forced officials to push back the opening to Nov. 15.

The 270 students are currently being taught at C.P. Blakely School and Steffie Woima School until the facility is complete. Currently six of Beacon Hill’s classes are located at C.P. Blakely and five at Steffie Woima.

“It’s a challenging situation that they have made much better with regard to how smooth things have gone just because of how much they have welcomed us,” said Trevor Sanche, school principal.

Shawn Russell, Associate Superintendent of Corporate Services for Chinook’s Edge School Division said he feels Beacon Hill Elementary will be a facility the community will be very proud of upon completion.

“It is a wonderful facility and I think once we are able to get the students in there and the community is able to see the facility everyone will be very pleased with the opportunities it will provide for Beacon Hill and for the community of Sylvan Lake,” said Russell. “I would like to stress how impressed we have been with the community in working through the construction delay, the boundary changes, as well as the staff of the schools being able to accommodate these delays and continue on business as usual until November 15 when we are able to move the students over.”

Russell added he is excited about the school’s design, adding it is home to unique spaces you wouldn’t traditionally see in a school, which will open up opportunities for different learning environments.

Sache explained much of the school is still very traditional in the aesthetic of the building, however, most unique about Beacon Hill Elementary is the ability for classrooms to open up and combine into larger learning spaces. The school also features a unique open concept learning common and outdoor learning spaces.

The school will start as a kindergarten to Grade 5 school this year and become pre kindergarten to Grade 6 next year along with all other Chinook’s Edge school’s in Sylvan Lake.

Repair Café coming to Stettler Repair Café is coming to Stettler.

Grace Fix, project lead, said people throw out items because they don’t know how or where to repair them and so the items end up in our landfill when perhaps a simple fix could keep them in use.

Stettler Wellness Network, Stettler Public Library and Heartland Beautification Centre have joined forces to host a Repair Café on Saturday, Sept. 24, 1 to 5 p.m. at the Stettler Recreation Centre.

“The resident will work with or watches the volunteer so that perhaps the resident leaves with a small repair skill and a fixed item,” added Fix. “The Repair Café promotes the spirit of repair so that, in the future, residents may either try to fix broken items or they know who to turn to for help with their repair.”

There will be no charge for repairs, unless new parts are required, said Fix. “A voluntary donation jar will be available for those who wish to contribute to the costs of holding this event.”

Thirteen volunteers will help residents with repairs.

Categories will include clothes, wood, small appliances/light fixtures, knife-sharpening, small engines, computer desktops/laptops, cell phones/tablets, musical instruments, power tools and plumbing.

Wood Shed introduces axe throwing to Sylvan Lake A new form of entertainment is coming to Central Alberta that will bring visitors back to the roots of Canadian industry.

The Wood Shed is tentatively scheduled to introduce axe throwing in the Town of Sylvan Lake.

Owner Keri Pratt is ecstatic to bring this form of entertainment to Sylvan Lake, after trying it out for herself.

“We are talking about the most Canadian of pastimes and a farm favourite,” she said “People love lumberjack competitions and axe throwing is finally hitting the main stream. “Its a fun experience combining the thrill of target shooting with the competitiveness of any team sport.”

Axe throwing is perfect for anyone over the age of 18 and is a great team building opportunity, said Pratt.

“For someone who has never thrown an axe before will be able to throw an axe and hit a target within the first 15 minutes,” she said, adding “if I can throw an axe, then anyone can do it.

“We had a family reunion this weekend and one of my great uncles in his 80s was throwing an axe and hitting the target.”

Pratt decided that axe throwing would be great for Central Albertans, after her husband Trevor Pratt worked in the forestry industry for many years and also competed in lumberjack games. As vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, she also noticed the opportunity for this when the Town of Sylvan Lake released its retail analysis.

“The retail analysis that the town did showed a gap in entertainment for Sylvan Lake,” she said. “I wanted to do something that people of all skill levels could do and I heard about axe throwing.”

She added that it made sense in Sylvan Lake to open The Wood Shed because the Town is a “young, vibrant community with people that are adventurous and want to try new things.

Pratt added that “its out of the box, stress relieving and it provides a tremendous feeling of satisfaction.”

Public to weigh in on facility Monday

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Red Deer city council will gauge the local appetite for a medical marijuana facility at a public hearing on Monday.

MedCan Solutions Inc. is proposing to use a 35,000-square-foot vacant building in the Burnt Lake Industrial Park to grow, process, package, label, store and transport marijuana. There were would no retail sales, signs or advertising at the site.

Council initially rejected the application, but reconsidered and it was approved for first reading last month, triggering the public hearing.

Councillors who voted to get the project to the

next step indicated they still had some concerns including potential odour and security issues.

As well, council would have to approve a site specific exemption for the facility, which would be located in a business industrial-zoned area. The city’s Land Use Bylaw relegates medical marijuana facilities to heavy industrial zones.

There has also been some opposition from neighbours in the industrial park. The owner of eight industrial buildings, including a warehouse with six tenants near the proposed medical marijuana site said it will cause odour problems for nearby busi-

nesses. A heavy industrial site is appropriate for that kind of facility, says the owner in a letter to council.

A medical marijuana facility has been located in similarly zoned areas elsewhere. In Smith Falls, Ont. a former Hershey chocolate plant was converted to a medical marijuana facility and apparently has not generated any local complaints, says the council report.

The city’s planning department supports allowing the medical marijuana facility as a site-specific exception, noting “regulations and development permit conditions can ensure the proposed use is in compliance with the general purpose of the (light industrial) district.”

The facility will also be regulated by Health Canada.

Local BRIEFS Woman injured during purse snatching A woman was seriously injured on Thursday afternoon when she was dragged by a pickup as she tried to get her stolen purse back.

It was the third similar purse snatching since Wednesday.

The incident began when police got a report about 4 p.m. of a purse snatching in the parking lot of the strip mall at 39th Street and 40th Avenue. A woman who was travelling in a red Ford F-150 pickup got out and stole a woman’s purse.

When the victim tried to get her purse back the truck sped away and she was dragged a short distance. The woman was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police flooded the area but did not find the pickup at that time.

Only two hours earlier, a woman’s purse was snatched in the Bower Mall parking lot. A red pickup was seen circling the parking lot before a woman jumped out of the passenger side, stole the purse and then got back into the truck that sped off.

About 6 p.m. on Wednesday a woman reported that her purse was stolen from her shopping cart in the parking lot of Parkland Mall. A red Ford F-150 pickup was seen circling the lot before a man jumped out, grabbed the purse and fled in the truck.

Police are investigating whether two people arrested on Thursday night are linked to the crimes.

RCMP said a stolen red pickup was spotted in West Park about 11:30 p.m. When police tried to pull over the truck the driver sped off.

A spike belt was deployed that flattened one of the truck’s rear tires but it kept on going. It was followed to the Bower neighbourhood, where the occupants jumped out and fled into a wooded area.

A police dog soon track down two suspects, a 32-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, who were arrested and remain in custody.

Judge sorry for ‘hurtful’ remarks

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

JUDICIAL REVIEW

CALGARY — A federal judge has apologized for “rude and insulting” comments he made at a sexual-assault trial where he asked the complainant why she couldn’t keep her knees together.

“I was not the good judge I thought I was,” said Justice Robin Camp, who was on the witness stand for more than three hours Friday at a hearing before the Canadian Judicial Council.

A five-person panel is weighing whether to recommend his removal from the bench.

Camp, 64, told the panel he regrets his remarks to the young woman, who was 19, during the 2014 trial in Calgary.

“She’s a fragile personality. Her background has not been easy. I was rude and insulting. By extension, I have caused unhappiness amongst other people, those who have been sexually abused and I’m sorry for that,” he said.

“Canadians deserve more from

their judges.”

Court transcripts show that Camp questioned the woman —“Why couldn’t you just keep your knees together?” — and told her that “pain and sex sometimes go together.”

They also show he called the woman “the accused” throughout the trial, something he did again at the hearing.

“The thing I feel worst about is the questions I asked of the accused,” he said before correcting himself. “The complainant.”

The panel has heard from the woman, who said Camp’s comments led her to contemplate suicide.

“He made me hate myself and he made me feel like I should have done something … that I was some kind of slut,” she told the hearing earlier this week.

Camp acquitted the man accused of assaulting the woman after deciding his version of events was more credi-

FIREARMS, EXPLOSIVES, DRUGS

ble.

The court transcripts also show Camp questioned the woman’s morals and suggested she didn’t try hard enough to fight off her alleged attacker.

“At some level that I wasn’t aware of, I was subject to prejudice … the prejudice that all women behave the same way and they should resist,” the judge said.

“I’ve let my family down. They have no fault. I have fault, and am particularly sorry for the embarrassment I’ve caused to my wife and daughter.

Despite all of this my family has continued loving me. I am sorry.”

Kim Stanton, legal director of the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund, told reporters that apology isn’t enough.

“It’s much more terrible that the public may have a perception that they will go into a courtroom and a judge won’t apply the law,” said Stanton, who added the apology won’t help the complainant.

“That young woman suffered an aw-

ful lot already. The idea that she’s now had an apology, I hope gives her some solace, but I know that the damage was already done.”

Camp said his notoriety could make it more difficult for him to preside over future cases involving sexual assault or gender. But, he said, if the council allows him to stay on the bench, he will make every effort to avoid past mistakes.

“Certainly in this area … sex assault … I know enough to question every question and every thought that I have.

I can’t guarantee that I’m not prejudiced in other areas, but what I have learned is to be constantly vigilant … and to ask for help when I need it.

“I was and will always be vigilant … perfect I will never be.”

Closing arguments are to take place Monday.

The panel hearing the complaint against him will forward a recommendation to the full Canadian Judicial Council. The council will then forward its final recommendation to the federal justice minister.

Kenney dismisses Leitch position on immigrants

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Federal Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch hasn’t thought through her controversial position on screening immigrants for “anti-Canadian values,” former Tory immigration minister Jason Kenney says.

Following a speech in downtown Calgary on Friday, Kenney, who is seeking the Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership, said he believes Leitch is pursuing an “improvised position” without understanding the negative impact of her words.

“I don’t take her position seriously, she’s never articulated it before,” Kenney said.

“She’s never said a word about this in Parliament, caucus or cabinet. I don’t think she understands the nuance around these issues. You have to be very careful in the way you articulate questions about integration.”

Leitch, a Conservative MP from Ontario, emailed a survey last week to supporters that included a question about whether the federal government

should screen potential immigrants and refugees for “anti-Canadian values.”

She later said she is protecting Canadian values from people who believe that women are property and can be beaten or that gays and lesbians should be stoned.

Despite widespread criticism including unflattering comparisons to U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, Leitch has defended her position that screening is needed without saying how immigration officials would actually vet new Canadians.

Kenney, a federal MP representing Calgary since 1997, was immigration minister from October 2008 to July 2013.

He boasted Friday that more immigrants became permanent residents of Canada — 1.5 million — when he was minister than under any other immigration minister.

He also defended the Conservatives as a pro-immigration government, adding that it improved security screening and brought in a law allowing quicker deportation of convicted foreign criminals.

Crown, defence disagree on Bain sentence for election shooting Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Man convicted of Mafia-related charges 20 years ago ordered deported

got arrested,” she said. “It was a setup. They used him. He went to pick up coffee.”

Torre became a permanent resident after arriving in Canada from Italy in 1967.

Handfield says he should have been asked to leave the country in 1996 after his conviction but he wasn’t.

Since 2013, the Canadian government has been trying to remove Torre from the country for “serious criminality and organized criminality.”

Torre was arrested again in 2006 during a major police operation aimed at dismantling the Mafia. He spent three years in preventive custody and was ultimately acquitted.

Handfield says his client has had no links to organized crime since his 1996 arrest.

If the stay application fails with the CBSA, Handfield intends to appeal to the Federal Court.

Handfield has also sent letters to Canada’s immigration and public safety ministers asking for a ministerial reprieve on humanitarian grounds.

MONTREAL — A man convicted 20 years ago on Mafia-related charges was issued a deportation order on Friday despite having lived in Canada for the last 50 years.

The Canada Border Services Agency told Michele Torre, 64, he’ll be deported to his native Italy on Sept. 16.

“They already have a plane ticket,” Torre’s lawyer, Stephane Handfield, said in an interview, add- MICHELE TORRE ing Ottawa only began deportation proceedings in 2013.

Handfield immediately filed an appeal with the CBSA agent who ordered the deportation and was told a decision will be made by Monday or Tuesday.

Torre pleaded guilty in 1996 in a cocaine conspiracy case involving Montreal’s Cotroni crime family and served part of his nine-year sentence in prison.

His daughter, Nellie, 38, broke into tears during a phone interview describing how her father will be leaving behind his ailing wife, three children and six grandchildren behind.

She says Torre worked as a cook in a Montreal cafe in 1992 before it was bought by organized crime members in 1994.

One day, his bosses told Torre to go and pick up a package they said was cofGREAT fee, she added.

“He only found out three days later why he

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Richard Henry Bain delivered his “sincerest apologies” Friday as a judge heard clashing arguments about how long the convicted Quebec 2012 election shooter should spend jailed before being eligible for parole.

Prosecutor Dennis Galiatsatos called for Bain to serve the maximum 25 years before parole eligibility kicks in, while defence lawyer Alan Guttman countered with the minimum of 10 years.

Bain’s second-degree murder conviction carries a sentence of life imprisonment, but parole eligibility can range between 10 and 25 years.

Quebec Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer will rule Nov. 18.

A jury convicted Bain last month in the slaying of lightning technician Denis Blanchette outside the Metropolis nightclub on Sept. 4, 2012.

He was also found guilty of three counts of attempted murder.

Bain, who turned 66 this week, briefly rose in the prisoner’s box to apologize to the victims — friends of Blanchette who were also outside the Metropolis as Parti Quebecois premier-designate Pauline Marois was inside speaking to supporters.

“I can just imagine the grief they’ve gone through,” Bain said in a low voice. “It’s just a terrible, terrible tragedy.

“My sincerest apologies,” he concluded in French and English.

Galiatsatos told the court the number of victims targeted could have

counted in the hundreds and put the case “light years away from others.”

That, along with the political motive, warrants the maximum, he argued.

Galiatsatos said a lengthy spell behind bars is justified and that, if the death toll wasn’t higher that night, it was more the result of “happenstance” and quick police action.

“He committed his shooting at a political rally on election night no less,” the prosecutor told Cournoyer. “The attack on democracy itself justifies a 25-year term and takes us away from the comparables.”

Speaking to reporters later, Galiatsatos said his recommendation is warranted even though he acknowledged that, statistically, it’s unusual for the Crown to solicit a maximum sentence.

“This is the worst possible second-degree murder that could have been committed under Canadian law and, for that reason, I’m very comfortable asking for the maximum term,” Galiatsatos said. “If this isn’t one of them, I would have trouble finding one that would be.”

Guttman said the Crown, in asking for 25 years, was unhappy with the jury’s verdict and is trying to get what he wanted — a first-degree murder sentence. Guttman argued for parole eligibility to be set at the 10-year minimum, adding Bain’s age and mental illness should be considered.

That sentence would mirror one given to Denis Lortie, the ex-Canadian Forces member who killed three government employees and wounded 13 other people when he stormed the Quebec legislature with several firearms in 1984.

Police to get naloxone nasal spray in case of opioid exposure

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Vancouver police officers and support staff will soon have access to the nasal-spray form of naloxone to protect themselves against accidental exposure to toxic opioids such as fentanyl.

Chief Adam Palmer said employees are increasingly coming into contact with potentially dangerous drugs at work.

He said it’s essential to provide them with medication used to block or reverse the effects of opioids, which have caused hundreds of overdose deaths in Vancouver and across the country.

Exposure to the drugs can also cause extreme drowsiness, slowed breathing or loss of consciousness.

Sgt. Brian Montague said there are reports of police officers in the United States experiencing overdose symptoms during drug investigations, including two officers with the New York Police Department.

“They began to get dizzy, it affected their breathing, they began to pass out and both of them said they thought they were going to die,” he said Friday.

Three officers in British Columbia also recently experienced overdose symptoms after handling drugs or exhibits contaminated with fentanyl, Montague said, adding the cities involved have not been disclosed.

“Front-line staff and support staff in our property office, in our gang section, in our drug section, are coming into contact with fentanyl and very strong opioids on a regular basis,” he said.

Teacher Joanne Ward and Grade 3 and 4 students Ella Gushue, left to right, Connor Pye and Caiden O’Reilly take part in the outdoor classroom of Hazelwood Elementary in St. John’s, NL on Thursday.

Canadian schools increasingly embrace outdoor classrooms

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A new classroom at Hazelwood Elementary School in St. John’s, N.L., has no walls, windows or desks — in fact, it’s not even inside the school.

The outdoor classroom — situated amidst the trees on a circular gravel patch — features a teacher’s podium made from stone and a number of stone benches that can accommodate about four children each.

“Getting kids outside is something that really works to their benefit. As an educator, you know it’s important for students,” said Dale Lambe, principal at Hazelwood Elementary School.

“The outdoor environment is something I think we’re looking more at as educators, especially for the younger age group.”

Hazelwood’s outdoor classroom is part of a growing trend in Canada: Schools building dedicated infrastructure to encourage outdoor learning.

Lambe said he knows of at least four outdoor classrooms in the St. John’s area, all of which were built within the last five years.

But the phenomenon of open air learning is widespread, with one school in Saskatchewan installing a small barn and paving stones, and another in New Brunswick building a wooden pirate ship with bench seating.

While the characteristics of outdoor classrooms can vary dramatically from school to school, the benefits of bringing children outdoors to learn are the same, said Cam Collyer of the Toronto-based non-profit Evergreen.

“If you look at it through a health lens, you see you that you have more physical activity, a greater volume of activity and a greater diversity of activity,” said Collyer, whose organization has helped Canadian schools establish outdoor classrooms for more than two decades.

“It’s physically active learning. So you’re using a different learning modality — hands-on learning, multi-sensory learning… Some of the brain research

is as simple as, ‘You move the body and you activate the brain’.”

Students are learning a variety of subjects outdoors, bringing out notebooks for math, language arts and social studies, paint brushes for art and instruments for music class.

Collyer said having a dedicated outdoor classroom also affects the social environment of the school grounds, which historically have been “flat, barren expanses.”

“In the short-hand of the research — they’re boring, and boring is often the leading edge of negative behaviour,” he said. “If there are more destinations, you’re drawn to move around, and that breaks up the boredom and creates more positive social interactions.”

Teacher Tanya Trembath recalls what happened when she took her Barrie, Ont., kindergarten class outside after a rain shower.

She watched a boy place a snail on his nose, while others allowed the creatures to crawl up their arms.

The Hewitt’s Creek Public School class ended up collecting 220 snails.

“So you can see how there’s so many things you can build on just from that one walk for snails,” said Trembath, whose outdoor classroom includes a large sandbox and forest area.

“They’re counting snails in their heads. We looked at books and videos about snails. We would draw and label pictures. They built a habitat. So it becomes a huge learning story incorporating math, science, reading and writing.”

Hewitt’s Creek is part of a board of 86 schools — all of which have outdoor classrooms. Every kindergarten class in the Simcoe County District School Board is encouraged to go outside between 20 and 100 minutes per day.

The board is also the subject of a study that looks at how being outdoors benefits students. The board says six classrooms participated in the study last year — half using the outdoor classroom frequently and the others half infrequently. This year, the study is continuing with 12 classrooms participating.

Canada BRIEFS Mandatory referrals, specialists, credited for spike in organ donations OTTAWA — Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Nova Scotia are being credited with spurring a national increase in organ donations, says a report released Friday.

And health officials say there’s a link between what those provinces are doing and what’s been happening in countries like Spain, which leads the world in donation rates having people in place and dedicated to ensuring that grieving families are made aware of the importance of life-saving transplants.

The report from Canadian Blood Services shows overall donations rose by 23 per cent between 2006 and last year and donations from Canadians who’ve died rose by 29 per cent.

GANDER, N.L. — Fifteen years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a Newfoundland town that hosted nearly 7,000 plane passengers will pause to reflect on the tragedy and their unexpected connection to it.

The Town of Gander is hosting several events commemorating the 15th anniversary of 9/11, with thousands expected to attend an ecumenical service, including U.S Consul General Steven Giegerich and the province’s Premier Dwight Ball.

“There’s been a very, very strong bond formed between the region and the ‘plane people’,” said Debby Yannakidis, chairwoman of the Gander and Area Chamber of Commerce.

“The town, and the region, will always pay our respects to 9/11.”

Thousands of passengers were stranded for three days in Gander when all flights were grounded, and the people of Gander provided food, lodging and other assistance.

In a statement Friday, U.S. Ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman said the people of Newfoundland and Labrador and Canadians in general “demonstrated profound and heartfelt kindness” in the aftermath of 9/11.

“The unbreakable bond between the United States and Canada was never more evident than on that day 15 years ago and in the days that followed,” Heyman said.

“I reflect often on the generosity Canadians extended to the thousands of passengers from the United States and elsewhere whose U.S.-bound flights were diverted to Canada immediately after the attacks.”

Yannakidis said Sunday’s ceremony, organized with the Canadian National Day of Service Foundation and Wounded Warriors Canada, will commemorate the tragedy but also raise awareness about PTSD. “Obviously on the date itself, there was a lot of people as first responders… who have experienced PTSD because of traumatic events,” said Yannakidis.

Robert Pilon, who has portrayed the title character in the Phantom of the Opera in Toronto, will sing at the service alongside local choirs.

A piece of steel beam from the south tower of the World Trade Center is also en route to the airport in Gander, a thank you gift from a foundation named for a New York firefighter killed while helping to rescue people from the towers.

‘Fanatic recklessness’ SEOUL CONDEMNS NORTH KOREA’S FIFTH NUCLEAR TEST

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tribe’s request to stop work on pipeline denied

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEAR THE STANDING ROCK SIOUX RESERVATION, N.D. — An American Indian tribe’s attempt to halt construction of an oil pipeline near its North Dakota reservation failed in federal court Friday, but three government agencies asked the pipeline company to “voluntarily pause” work on a segment that tribal officials say holds sacred artifacts.

The Standing Rock Sioux, whose cause has drawn thousands to join their protest, had challenged the Army Corps of Engineers’ decision to grant permits at more than 200 water crossings for the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. Tribal leaders say the project violates several federal laws and will harm water supplies. The tribe also alleges that ancient sites have been disturbed during construction.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington denied the tribe’s request for a temporary injunction in a 58-page opinion.

But a joint statement from the Army and the Departments of Justice and the Interior asked the pipeline builder, Energy Transfer Partners, to “voluntarily pause” work on the disputed segment while the government reconsiders “any of its previous decisions” on land that borders or is under Lake Oahe. The statement also said the case “highlighted the need for a serious discussion” about nationwide reforms “with respect to considering tribes’ views on these types of infrastructure projects.”

Attorney Jan Hasselman with the environmental group Earthjustice, who filed the lawsuit in July on behalf of the tribe, said before the ruling that any such decision would be challenged.

“We will have to pursue our options with an appeal and hope that construction isn’t completed while that (appeal) process is going forward,” he said. “We will continue to pursue vindication of the tribe’s lawful rights even if the pipeline is complete.”

Tribal historian LaDonna Brave Bull Allard said the ruling gave her “a great amount of grief. My heart is hurting, but we will continue to stand, and we will look for other legal recourses.” She said the protests would continue.

Sept. 11 legislation passes despite veto threat

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Congress sent President Barack Obama a bipartisan bill that would allow families of Sept. 11 victims to sue the government of Saudi Arabia, putting lawmakers on a collision course with the White House on the eve of the 15th anniversary of the attacks.

The House passed the legislation Friday by voice vote, about four months after the measure cleared the Senate despite vehement objections from Saudi Arabia. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals.

The legislation gives victims’ families the right to sue in U.S. court for any role that elements of the Saudi government may have played in the 2001 attacks that killed thousands in New York, the Washington, D.C., area and Pennsylvania.

The White House has signalled Obama would veto the legislation over the potential for it to backfire and apprehension about undermining a longstanding yet strained relationship with a critical U.S. ally in the Middle East. The Obama administration has warned that if U.S. citizens can take the Saudis to court, then a foreign country could in turn sue the United States.

South Korean protesters hold candles during a rally to oppose a deployment of the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, in Seoul, South Korea, Friday. North Korea said Friday it conducted a “higher level” nuclear warhead test explosion that will allow it to finally build “at will” an array of stronger, smaller and lighter nuclear weapons. It is Pyongyang’s fifth atomic test and the second in eight months. reporters at UN headquarters. “North Korea is seeking to perfect its nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles so they can hold the region and the world hostage under threat of nuclear strikes.”

What measures are included in a new resolution will largely depend on China, the North’s major ally and neighbour which fears any instability on the Korean peninsula.

“All sides should refrain from mutual provocations and any actions that might be a threat to peace and security,” China’s UN Ambassador Liu Jieyi said after the meeting. “We believe it is more urgent than

In March, the Security Council adopted its toughest sanctions against North Korea in two decades in response to its nuclear test in January and a rocket launch. It took two months of negotiations mainly between the U.S. and China.

South Korea’s UN Ambassador Oh Joon said he hopes agreement on a new resolution will come quickly.

Demonstrators waved signs after Friday prayers depicting Saudi King Salman holding a bloody sword, his head wrapped in an American flag and his shirt bearing a blue Star of David similar to that on the Israeli flag.

“Death to Al Saud and the traitors!” protesters in Tehran shouted. State media reported similar protests across the country.

“We don’t have any problems with the people of Saudi Arabia. They are Sunnis and are our brothers,” protester Habibullah Abulfazli said. “But the Al Saud family are puppets of Britain and America.

They are fighting proxy wars against Shiites and against all Muslims.”

SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — North Korea said it conducted a “higher level” nuclear test explosion on Friday that will allow it to finally build an array of stronger, smaller and lighter nuclear weapons, a move strongly condemned by the UN Security Council which promised new measures against Pyongyang.

The North’s fifth atomic test and the second in eight months brought the UN’s most powerful body into emergency session, just three days after it strongly condemned North Korea’s latest ballistic missile launches.

South Korea’s president said the detonation, which Seoul estimated was the North’s biggest-ever in explosive yield, was an act of “fanatic recklessness” and a sign that leader Kim Jong Un “is spiraling out of control.” President Barack Obama condemned the test and said the U.S. would never accept the country as a nuclear power.

North Korea’s boast of a technologically game-changing nuclear test defied both tough international sanctions and long-standing diplomatic pressure to curb its nuclear ambitions. It will raise serious worries in many world capitals that North Korea has moved another step closer to its goal of a nuclear-armed missile that could one day strike the U.S. mainland.

The press statement agreed upon by all 15 Security Council members late Friday said diplomats will draft a new resolution in response to its earlier promise to take “further significant measures,” if the North continued to defy the international community.

“In line with this commitment and the gravity of this violation, the members of the Security Council will begin to work immediately on appropriate measures” in a new UN resolution, the statement said.

The measures will be under Article 41 of the UN Charter, which specifies non-military actions including sanctions, it said.

U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said the council must use “every tool at its disposal” including new sanctions “to demonstrate to North Korea that there are consequences for its unlawful and dangerous actions.”

“This is more than brazen defiance,” Power told

U.S. doubles up Canada in exhibition game PRICE STOPS 22 SHOTS IN FIRST GAME SINCE NOV. 25, 2015

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Boston Red Sox centre fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. slides safely into home plate past Toronto Blue Jays catcher Dioner Navarro during second-inning American League MLB baseball action in Toronto on Friday.

Jays’ woes continue with blowout loss to Sox

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Red Sox 13 Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — A playoff atmosphere was in the air at Rogers Centre on Friday night as Boston and Toronto opened a pivotal three-game series that could sway the balance of power in the American League East.

The Red Sox played like they belonged in the post-season. The Blue Jays played like bottom feeders.

Boston set the early tone against a shaky Marco Estrada and didn’t let up in a 13-3 thrashing of Toronto that moved the Red Sox two games ahead of the second-place Blue Jays, who have dropped four straight.

Rick Porcello became the first pitcher to reach the 20-win mark this season and Hanley Ramirez hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox, who outhit Toronto 18-9.

“It is uncharacteristic of us, so hey, put it behind you,” said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “We haven’t seen that too often. I can’t remember seeing a game like that in a long time.”

It was one of the uglier games this season for the Blue Jays. Throws were offline, passed balls and wild pitches were frequent and Melvin Upton Jr., dropped a routine fly ball in left field.

Estrada laboured through just 2 1/3 innings before getting the hook in his shortest start of the season.

The Red Sox worked him for a 36-pitch opening frame and scored in each of the first four innings.

“Nothing went our way today and obviously it all

started with me,” Estrada said. “When your starting pitcher is out there making a bunch of pitches like that, it brings everybody down a little bit.

“I’ve got to do a better job right out of the gate to get quick outs because obviously this can’t keep happening.”

The Blue Jays have dropped six of their last seven games. Toronto has a one-game lead on the Detroit Tigers and Baltimore Orioles in the battle for the first AL wild-card spot.

Toronto’s Devon Travis hit a two-run single in the third to halve the lead but Boston’s six-run seventh inning broke the game open.

Xander Bogaerts hit a solo shot, his 18th of the season, and Ramirez put it away when his 22nd homer of the year bounced off the top of the wall in right-centre field.

Porcello, meanwhile, was effective at mixing speeds and keeping the Blue Jays off balance.

He allowed two earned runs, six hits and a walk while striking out seven to become the first Red Sox pitcher to win 20 games since Josh Beckett in 2007.

“It’s definitely a huge honour, it’s hard to win one game in the big leagues, let alone 20,” Porcello said.

“So I’m definitely very proud. At the same time it’s collective. The way we swing the bats and play defence, it’s a complete team effort. So it’s thanks to 25 guys — or 40 now.”

Dustin Pedroia drove in four runs for the Red Sox. Seven Boston players had at least two hits apiece.

The six-run seventh matched the most runs Toronto has allowed in a single frame this season.

U.S. 4 Canada 2 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Patrick Kane and Joe Pavelski each had a goal and an assist to help the United States beat Canada 4-2 on Friday night in an exhibition game before the World Cup of Hockey.

There were plenty of scrums, hard hits and bad blood.

“When the U.S. plays Canada you’re going to get that type of game whether it’s an exhibition, preliminary game, semifinal or final,” Kane said. “You’re going to find yourself in that situation in this rivalry.”

The teams will play again Saturday night in Ottawa, Ontario.

U.S. forward Ryan Kesler was ejected late in the second period for boarding Shea Weber.

In the third period, Pavelski’s check sent along the boards sent Claude Giroux out of the game.

There also was a melee in front of Canada’s bench in the first period.

“There were lots of scrums tonight,” Canada coach Mike Babcock said. “They were generated by the players. The referees can clean that up in 2 seconds. All you’ve got to do is put people in the box. No more scrums.”

Jonathan Quick made 32 saves in the first two periods, and Ben Bishop stopped nine shots in the third. Zach Parise and Derek Stepan also scored for the Americans.

“It’s nice to get off to a good start whether it’s a pretournament game or not,” Pavelski said. “It’s nice to get a little confidence with the puck and make some plays.”

Carey Price, playing for first time since a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee ended his season for the Montreal Canadiens on Nov. 25, had 22 saves for Canada.

Patrice Bergeron and Drew Doughty scored for Canada.

Price had nothing to do early as the Canadians held a 12-1 shots advantage through the first 12 minutes. The momentum shifted shortly after the first U.S. penalty kill and the Americans held an 18-15 shots advantage after the first to go along with a 2-0 lead.

Blowouts in the 2nd week of high school football

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Cougars 40 Lightning 0 LACOMBE — If you want to become a champion you need to beat the champion.

The Notre Dame Cougars did just that with a 40-0 victory over the fourtime defending Central Alberta High School Football League champion Hunting Hills Lightning in City Division play at MEGlobal Athletic Park Friday.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said Cougars assistant coach Gary LaGrange, whose squad had lost 12 in a row to the Lightning prior to Friday.

On this day the Cougars were by and far the better team. They accumulated 312 yards rushing and 126 passing while the Lightning had 17 yards on the ground, after a pair of team losses for 40 yards, and 24 passing.

“I was a little worried about our O line and how they would perform,” said LaGrange. “We have the backs in (Justin) Fedun, Johannes (Smith) and Payton (LaGrange), so we’re deep there, and we wanted to throw a bit more to show what Devin (Desormeau) can do as a quarterback, but we needed the line to perform.

“They had a great week of practice and stepped up. We’re very happy with the way the offence performed.”

LaGrange didn’t have any worries about the defence.

“We’re strong on paper and we know we’re strong there.”

Lightning head coach Kyle Sedgwick gave the Cougars credit.

“They wanted it more. They’re a veteran team while I don’t believe we’ve prepared the way we need to and got what we deserved tonight, an ass kicking.”

The Lightning didn’t help themselves, especially in the first half with a pair of bad snaps over the punter, which led to nine points, and a fumble on a kick return into Notre Dame territory.

“They also get a field goal on the final play of the half, but we’re down 19-0 and that’s doable,” said Sedgwick.

“But when our offence was getting one or two yards on first down and couldn’t generate anything it’s hard to come

back. We were out-matched on offence and like last week our defence was on the field too long.”

But Sedgwick wasn’t about to hand the Cougars the championship.

“That could be the best thing to happen to us,” he said. “It will wake the coaches up more than anything. We need to get our crap together. This did not represent what we’ve built here.

We embarrassed the teams in the past and this team. The nice thing is we’ll see them at least once more.”

The Cougars opened the scoring with a safety after a high snap at 9:01 of the first quarter. They then received the ball on their own 35 and marched 75-yards on eight plays with Smith going in from the one.

On the next Lightning possession another bad snap gave the ball to the Cougars on the Lightning 35 yard line.

Four plays later Fedun went in from the two. Isaac Colosimo kicked the convert and added a 25-yard field goal on the final play of the half.

In the second half, Desormeau hit Payton LaGrange on a 54-yard screen pass for a touchdown at 2:30 of the third quarter, Smith went 15 yards at 7:31 and Fedun galloped 69 yards at 11:00 of the fourth quarter. LaGrange added a two-point convert and Colocimo kicked a convert.

Fedun finished with 166 yards rushing on 13 carries and Smith 138 yards on 17. Smith grabbed four passes for 41 yards and Reese Guhl three for 58 yards.

Rams 53 Raiders 7 The Lacombe Rams shook the monkey off their back, downing the Lindsay Thurber Raiders 53-7 for their first win in league play since October of 2013.

Head coach Jason Petrie admitted it’s been a long time coming, but didn’t want to talk about how long.

“I don’t know and really it doesn’t matter,” he said. “We’re concentrating on now. We’re in the top four in the province and we want to stay there.”

The Rams were the better team on both sides of the ball, although it was 7-6 for LTCHS 9:37 into the first quarter.

Kyle Popp opened the scoring for the Rams on a 23 yard run at 1:46 with LTCHS quarterback Sean Vandervlis connecting on a 30 pass play with Max

Lacombe Ram Kyle Popp forces his way past Lindsay Thurber Raider Logan Ellis to score a first-quarter touchdown at Lacombe Friday.

Abraham at 9:37. Vandervlis kicked the convert. However, Popp put the Rams ahead for good on a seven yard run at 10:27.

Popp added a third touchdown on a four yard run in the third quarter while Logan Ellis scored on runs of two and 39 yards. Quarterback Jonathan Ericson connected on touchdown strikes of 32 yards to Lucas Wessner and 11 yards to Ellis while David Mueller scored on a 44-yard punt return on the final play of the half.

Popp finished with 125 yards on 15 carries and Mueller 91 on four ties.

Max Arnold had 80 yards on eight carries for the Raiders before being injured in the first half. Ellis caught four passes for 45 yards and Richard Jans three for 59. Abraham had four catches for 67 yards.

While Petrie was happy with the offence he was even happier with the defence.

“We made a few adjustments after the first quarter and threw a shutout the rest of the way,” he said.

RED DEER COLLEGE KINGS SOCCER

Rebuilding Kings full of change, youth

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE There are a lot of changes with this year’s edition of the RDC Kings soccer team, including on the bench, with Wade Groenewegen returning as head coach, replacing Steve Fullarton.

“We’re excited about the season, but with only five players returning we’re in a rebuilding mode,” said Groenewegen. “We’re certainly going to be one of the youngest teams in the league, so it will be a matter of getting on the same page early in the season.

“We’ll need to be focused and disciplined while also getting the most out of our energy and enthusiasm.”

So far the Kings look like they’re going in the right direction after downing Augustana 5-2 and tying The Kings University 1-1 in exhibition play.

“We did some good things, but there’s also some work to do.”

At present Groenewegen has 23 players on his roster, with six with ACAC experience.

Returning from last season is outstanding midfielder Mark Ibbotson along with midfielders Skylar Roth, Bruno Damian, Yanner Teah and Jerson Paez. Also back is defender Masoum Zaher, who played two years ago.

As well keeper Raymond Fox of North Battleford, Sask., played one year at Scott Community College in Iowa and defender Nonso Onwuekwe of Winnipeg spent a year at UNB. Ibbotson is the most important returnee. He led the team in scoring the last three seasons with 21 goals in 29 games.

“He is clearly our most significant returning player,” said Groenewegen.

“I would describe him as a complete player, generous enough to move the ball smartly, and greedy enough to make something happen on his own when needed.”

The other keeper is Talon Grenier from Olds with Frank van Oostrom of Rimbey, Delbert Albert of North Battleford, Fernando Morales of Red Deer and Ben Anderson of Red Deer at forward. Theoren Gill of Red Deer, Timmo Van Klaveren of Hinton and

‘WE’LL NEED TO BE FOCUSED AND DISCIPLINED WHILE ALSO GETTING THE MOST OUT OF OUR ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM’ WADE GROENEWGEN RDC KINGS SOCCER COACH Antonio Suhalj of Red Deer are in the midfield and Tim Mitchell of Spruce Grove, Tanner Steenbergen of Alhambra and Anthony Duque, Brandon Lenarduzzi, Bryce Vleeming and Nathan Bergeson of Red Deer on defence.

Groenewegen likes what he sees from many of the first-year players, including in goal.

“Talon is a technically strong keeper who looks good making saves while Ray has good size at six-foot-four and has already demonstrated the ability to make a great save. We will be well covered in goal no matter who we use.”

One of the top local products is Gill, who moves up from the Renegades program, as did Grenier.

“Gill is sure to make an impact and is someone we can hopefully build around for several years to come,” said Groenewegen.

The team will be completely new on the back end, but “we have some talented players.

“We just need to get everyone working on the same page and dial in on the results.”

Groenewegen believes it’s important to recruit character and that will play an important role in laying “the foundation for the next several years.

“We need to spend a great deal of time building a ridged structure before we turn them loose to be creative.

This should allow them to become very fluid and unpredictable going forward while giving them a bend but don’t break mind set.

‘It’s my job to provide a structure that all the players can get behind and then help their teammates elevate their own game to maximize their performance.”

Veteran women runners strength of team

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Kari Elliott took over as head coach of the RDC cross-country running team this year from long time head coach Brian Stackhouse with an idea of what to expect.

Even then she couldn’t be more excited with her roster, especially on the women’s side.

“Our women’s team is extremely deep,” she said. “We haven’t competed yet, but I believe our top four runners could all finish in the top 10. We’ll have to see what the other schools have, but it looks good.

“As for the women’s team I certainly hope to be in the top three.”

Veteran Jordanna Cota returns for her fourth season. Last year she finished fifth in the ACAC and was on the All-Conference team. She placed 18th in the field of 110 at the Nationals in Ontario.

With a number of the top runners from last year no longer running, Elliott believes Cota will challenge for gold this season.

“I’m excited to see where she sits this season. The way she looks so far in training, she’s ready.”

Elliott will get a good indication where her teams sits as the ACAC Running Room Grand Prix season begins today at Concordia University in Edmonton.

Second-year runner, Amy Severtson, who finished 11th in the ACAC last season, is also returning, but isn’t at full speed because of surgery on her tonsils a month ago.

Samantha Debree, Laura Szymanek and Lauren Mearns are also returning.

One of the impressive newcomers

Hagel goal gives Rebels win

is Hunting Hills grad Jill Stewart, who finished second in the high school championships last year.

“She hasn’t done a lot of five-kilometre training, but she’s someone to watch,” said Elliott, who also added Shaelyn Moltzahn, a transfer from Lethbridge College. There was a possibility that Emily Lucas, who was third in the ACAC for Lethbridge last season, would join the RDC team, but has decided to take the year off.

Other first-year runners are Janaya Garbe from Hunting Hills, Teagan Shapka from Alix, who ran for Lindsay Thurber, and Breanna Berridge of Penhold, who attended Notre Dame.

The men’s team isn’t as deep with Nolan Dyck the only returnee. Newcomers include Cory DeRaadt of Rocky Mountain House, who has impressed Elliott.

“Cory doesn’t have a lot of experience, but has looked good in training,” she said. “As for Nolan, he worked hard during the summer and comes in fitter than he was last year and I expect good things from him.”

Jeffery Willoughby from Lindsay Thurber and Devon Gurney of Prince George and Justin Moltzahn of Red Deer are other new faces.

Elliott is also looking for at least one more runner and is still holding tryouts.

“We have about five guys coming out, so we’ll see,” she said.

Elliott has a solid assistant coaching staff in Jodi Nesbitt, Courtney Long and Stephanie Flieler.

“There’s a strong possibility we have a guy coming out to help as well,” she explained.

After accident, Dieleman found freedom in the pool RIO DE JANEIRO — There’s a sense of euphoria Jonathan Dieleman feels when he slides out of his chair and into the cool water of the swimming pool.

“Swimming for me was a way to get out of my wheelchair,” said the 31-year-old member of Canada’s Paralympic team. “When I broke my back six years ago, one of the things I first thought about, just being able to feel free, was getting into the water.”

Dieleman is part of a diverse Canadian swim team at the Rio Paralympics, that ranges in age from 13-yearold Danielle Dorris to 40-year-old Tammy Cunnington — both of whom are making their Paralympic debut.

Led by swim stars Aurelie Rivard and Benoit Huot, the team is gunning for at least 14 medals in the pool.

Dieleman was a bit of a daredevil growing up on his family’s farm in Telkwa, a tiny town just outside Smithers in northern British Columbia.

The oldest of six boys, he competed in rodeo, riding bareback and bulls, before breaking his back in a dirt biking accident in 2010.

“I was wheeling across one hayfield in fifth gear, hit a rock, and went cartwheeling,” he said. “The bike landed on me. Thirty seconds after I came to

in the field I knew my back was broken.”

A swimmer growing up, he returned to the pool six months after the accident.

“I didn’t know how to react the first time I went in the water after I broke my back, so I was wearing a lifejacket,” Dieleman said. “I put the lifejacket on and I was wearing it for 10 minutes, then I took it off. Ever since then, it’s been just more and more getting the feel for the water.

“I totally enjoy being in the water.

If I could live scuba diving, that would be my ultimate dream.”

He plans to go scuba diving this fall in Belize.

Dieleman won silver in the 50-metre breaststroke at last summer’s Parapan American Games, and is aiming high here as well.

“My goal I set about a year ago was to be on the top of the podium in this event here in Rio, so I do have high expectations of myself,” said Dieleman, sporting a red mohawk he had shaved into his head during a stopover in Toronto en route to Rio. “But we’ll see how it goes.”

Dorris, meanwhile, is making her Paralympic debut in just her third season of swimming. The young athlete said swimming has given her an immediate sense of belonging.

“You don’t need to be afraid of who

Dorris, who was born with only a portion of her arms, finished fifth in her heat of the 100-metre butterfly on Friday and didn’t advance.

Cunnington makes her Paralympic debut after winning three medals at last summer’s Parapan Ams. She was just six when she was struck by an airplane propeller at an air show in Ponoka, Alta. The accident left her a paraplegic, but with the use of one arm plus her shoulders and core.

The Red Deer, Alta., native was a para-triathlete, but when she learned her category wouldn’t be part of the Rio Paralympics, she switched her focus to swimming in 2014.

Canada once dominated the Paralympic pool, winning 48 swim medals at the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney. That number dropped to 16 by the London Games four years ago.

“We were ahead of the curve on everybody,” said coach Craig McCord.

“The rest of the world has really taken on Paralympic sport with a fervour and a passion, they’re investing money, and it’s one of the challenges we face.”

The Paralympians draw inspiration from their Canadian Olympic counterparts, who, led by young star Penny Oleksiak, captured six medals in Rio.

Oleksiak, who won four medals at the Rio Olympics, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. … The Blue Jays presented Boston’s David Ortiz with two custom Canada Goose jackets before the game. The veteran slugger is retiring at season’s end. The team also made a donation of $10,000 to the David Ortiz Children’s Fund. … A sellout crowd of 46,953 was on hand. The game took three hours 23 minutes to play. … J.A. Happ (17-4, 3.44 earned-run average) is scheduled to start for Toronto on Saturday against fellow southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez (2-6, 4.83) … Toronto and Boston will close out the regular season with a three-game series at Fenway Park starting Sept. 30.

McCord is a big believer in mindfulness, and so “the big thing we’ve talked about is ‘acceptance’ and ‘surrender.”’

“And the whole concept that Ben Titley, Penny’s coach, convinced Penny she could win a medal and she surrendered to the fact that anything was possible,” McCord said. “As soon as she did that, everybody else followed her, and all of a sudden we’ve got a bunch of people accepting that anything is possible.

“I think we’re in the same boat, anything is possible for us.”

The Vancouver-based coach will step down after Rio, and called his 12-year career at the helm of Canada’s Paralympic team “an absolute journey.”

“I tell everybody I’ve had the best job in the world for the last 12 years.

I’ve been around the world, I have friends all over the world, and I’ve met the most amazing athletes/people that you could imagine,” McCord said.

“I never thought I would end up being so passionate about this. But it’s still so pure, right? There’s no million-dollar contracts on the line here, there’s no (Michael) Phelps here, there’s no Usain Bolts here, it’s just a bunch of guys. They want the medal and they go after it hard, it’s still really pure that way. It’s one of the joys of this.”

Hunt, Willis hope to recreate magic

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Phillip Hunt and Odell Willis terrorized quarterbacks while they were teammates in Winnipeg a few years ago, combining for some 27 sacks in the 2010 season.

The pair went their separate ways after that outstanding season, but they’ll be reunited Saturday when the Edmonton Eskimos take on the CFL-leading Calgary Stampeders in the back end of their Labour Day home-and-home series.

Hunt failed to catch on in the NFL and was signed by the Eskimos (5-5) this week to fill in for the injured Marcus Howard, who will miss his fourth straight game with a knee injury.

The team is hoping the two ends can recreate some of the magic they had in Winnipeg and help to contain 8-1 Stam-

peders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell.

But while he’s glad to see Hunt line up once again on the opposite side of the defensive line, Willis said he’s more interested in the entire team playing better than they did on Monday when the Stamps rolled to a dominant 45-24 win in Calgary.

Although he had only two practices, Hunt insists he’s ready to resume his CFL career.

“It was an easy fit in the locker-room, with the veteran players and guys I know,” he said at Friday’s practice. “The football world is more connected than people may think. I’m a fan of the game so I know a lot of players, once I walk into the locker-room it’s like I know them personally.”

In Winnipeg, the pair nicknamed themselves Ferrari and Lambo, after the high-powered Italian racing cars.

They may not resurrect the names but

LABOUR DAY REMATCH the six-foot, 248-pound Hunt said they won’t need them because of their competitiveness.

“Odell is always competitive when it comes to sacks and stats and getting off the ball,” he said. “We’re always competing against each other and when you’re competing against the best, you get your best effort.

“It’s all about ball get-off. As a defensive end that’s the main thing, a good takeoff once they hike the ball.

We named ourselves Ferrari and Lambo just to remind ourselves, every play that’s how we should be getting off the ball.”

Getting off the ball is only part of the problem when it comes to containing Mitchell, who passed for 380 yards

on Monday when the Stampeders put up just under 500 yards of offence, their highest output this season. The Eskimos did get pressure on the Calgary quarterback but Mitchell easily scrambled out of the pocket, creating plenty of time for him to compete 25 of 32 passes.

As defensive ends, Hunt and Willis face most of the responsibility for keeping Mitchell in the pocket and, in the words of head coach Jason Maas, “making him uncomfortable.”

There’s no secret to doing that, said Willis.

“We just have to eliminate our mistakes,” he said. “It’s no secret ingredient, just eliminate your mistakes and play football.”

The Stamps will be looking for their eighth straight win while the Eskimos are trying to keep pace with the thirdplace 6-4 Blue Bombers.

Team Canada golfer Brooke Henderson and sister/caddie Brittany Henderson are celebrated during a community event in their honour in their home-town of Smiths Falls, Ont., on Friday.

Henderson returns to a hero’s welcome in hometown SMITHS FALLS, Ont. — Busloads of schoolchildren clad in red and white lined the paths of a local park in Brooke Henderson’s hometown on Friday to celebrate the star Canadian golfer and her breakout season, which has seen her win her first LPGA major, surge in the world rankings and make an Olympic appearance.

Waving miniature Canadian flags, the kids strained to catch a glimpse of — or maybe even score a high-five from — the 18-year-old Smiths Falls star as the town held a party in her honour.

“To have everyone out, wearing red and white, there are a ton of people and it’s really cool. It’s an exciting day,” said Henderson. “It means a lot to me that the town would do this for me and everybody would come out. I love coming back home.”

Schools made schedule accommodations so kids could be there to properly welcome home Henderson and her sister Brittany, also a pro who now caddies for Brooke.

“She’s been a huge role model for us,” said Lisa Drummond, a teacher at Lombardy Public School, where Henderson went as a youngster. “She’s so positive and has such a positive attitude. She’s easy to love.”

Mayor Shawn Pankow said Henderson is an example for anyone who lives in the community of about 9,000, which has had its struggles in recent years with a high unemployment rate.

“We’ve had our challenges, but that is becoming part of our past. Brooke typifies the example of what hard work, dedication and commitment, combined

Canada beats Taiwan, will face Japan for gold at Women’s Baseball World Cup GIJANG, Korea, Republic Of — Canada will play for gold at the Women’s Baseball World Cup for only the second time in the history of the women’s national team program.

Righty Amanda Asay, from Prince George, B.C., went the distance, and catcher Jennifer Gilroy cashed in the winning run as Canada downed Taiwan 2-1 on Saturday to book its place in the championship.

The Canadian squad will play Japan on Sunday in the gold-medal game.

Canada only managed four hits all game and trailed 1-0 after four innings, but a sacrifice fly tied it in the top of the fifth and a fielder’s choice scored the go-ahead run in the seventh.

With the bases loaded Gilroy grounded to short, scoring right-fielder Kelsey Lalor from third as Chih Hsuan Sung went for the force out at third.

Lalor started the rally by leading off the seventh with a single.

First baseman Kate Psota drove in designated hitter Pascale Jalbert with a sacrifice fly for Canada’s other run.

with natural talent, can do,” said Pankow. “If Brooke has that commitment and has had success, then anyone can do the same. She’s a real rallying point.”

Henderson’s season got off to a fine start, where she notched eight top-10 finishes in her first nine events. She’s missed only one cut this year, and has won twice, including the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, the first major of the year. She also defended her title at the Cambia Portland Classic and has risen to No. 3 in the world.

“It’s been a huge learning curve,” she said of her season. “There’s been a ton of things I’ve learned about myself on and off the course. It looks good for the future because I’ve learned a lot, and I think I’ve gained a lot too.”

Brittany said she was happy to be recognized alongside her sister.

“Sort of surreal actually,” she said. “It’s kind of weird to see that everyone is here for Brooke and for me. It’s such a surreal feeling that people come out and support and it shows much they really care.”

The last two weeks where the LPGA Tour was on Canadian soil, Henderson finished tied for 14th at the CP Women’s Open and tied for 39th at the Manulife LPGA Classic. She’ll now head to France for next week’s Evian Championship, the final major of the season, before a lengthy swing through Asia.

“I feel like my game is in a really good spot,” said Henderson, who turns 19 on Saturday. “Although I haven’t had the finishes I wanted the last two months I feel like it’s really close to being really good. I’m looking forward to France and the Asian swing. It’s been an awesome year and I just hope I can cap it off with another win or a few more top-10s.”

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CARMEL, Ind. — U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson doesn’t care about the physics behind his new putter. Seeing more putts drop is enough for him.

Johnson made two eagles in a span of seven holes, shot 31 on the back nine and set the course record at Crooked Stick on Friday with a 9-under 63 that gave him a share of the lead with Roberto Castro in the BMW Championship.

Johnson didn’t even know he set the course record until Tony Pancake, the golf director at Crooked Stick, congratulated him on the way to the clubhouse.

“I guess no one was ever better than 63,” Johnson said with a shrug and a smile.

Castro was the first player to reach 14-under 130 on the rain-softened course. He kept bogeys off his card, rolled in a pair of 30-foot putts and had another 65 in his last-minute bid to get to the Tour Championship at East Lake, just 15 minutes from his house.

Castro is at No. 53 in the FedEx Cup and only the top 30 make it to the FedEx Cup finale at East Lake and a shot at the $10 million bonus.

Paul Casey, who had the 54-hole lead last week at the TPC Boston until finishing two shots behind Rory McIlroy, had a 66 and was three shots behind.

Johnson has one of the most consistent years with 12 finishes in the top 10, along with victories in the U.S. Open and a World Golf Championship at Firestone. Even so, frustration began to set in when the putts stopped falling, so he switched to the TaylorMade Spider.

“I was just struggling to get the ball to come out on the line I was seeing,” Johnson said. “No matter what I did, how much I practiced, training aids, whatever. It just wasn’t working. So just decided to switch it up.”

When asked about the physics involved, Johnson said, “I don’t go into that stuff — as long as it goes where I’m looking.”

That said, he did point out he took physics in high school. “I got an ‘A,’ too, bud.”

Johnson already was virtually assured of being among the top five going into the Tour Championship, meaning he only has to win at East Lake to win the FedEx Cup. Along with what he described as “10 million reasons” why he wants to win, other rewards are available. He already is regarded a favourite for PGA Tour player of the year, and he is likely to move ahead of Jason Day in the Vardon Trophy race for the lowest scoring average.

Castro opened a big lead early with three straight birdies on the front nine, and for the longest time, it looked as though no one could catch him.

Johnson holed out a bunker shot for eagle on No. 9, narrowly missed a 45-foot eagle putt on the 11th hole and then surged into the lead. He made a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-3 13th, rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt on the next hole and then made an eagle putt from 25 feet on the 15th.

Johnson has 11 victories on the PGA Tour, including a major and a three World Golf Championships.

Castro has gone 125 starts on the PGA Tour without a victory, and he doesn’t hit nearly as long as Johnson — not many do. Crooked Stick is renowned for favouring big hitters, whether it was John Daly at the 1991 PGA Championship or McIlroy four years ago after a week of rain that made the course even longer.

Bombers SB Smith returns to face former team

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — Matt Nichols will have a new receiver to pass to in Saturday’s game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders as slotback Ryan Smith comes off the six-game injured list in time to play his former team.

Nichols is excited to have a new target on the field as he tries to extend Winnipeg’s five-game win streak, which coincides with him taking over the starting quarterback job from Drew Willy.

“He was out there blowing past people the last couple days of practice,” Nichols said Friday of Smith, who had been out with a lower-body injury.

“He’s a guy that can really stretch defences. One of the best things he does is, get the ball in his hands, he can break tackles, make people miss in

space. That’s something that really can flip games in this league.”

Smith was a big free-agent signing for the Bombers (6-4), who had already inked his former Riders teammate Weston Dressler.

Expectations for the duo were high entering the season but both have missed time because of injuries. Saturday’s game will only be their fourth time playing together in Bombers jerseys.

“All that matters right now is that we’re both healthy and we’re both back on the field,” Smith said.

Smith started his career with the Riders in 2014. He was healthy enough to play in Winnipeg’s 28-25 win over Saskatchewan (1-9) last weekend, but salary-cap reasons kept him sidelined until the six games were up.

He’s OK with being back for the rematch at the 33,234-seat Investors

Group Field, which will host the 12th straight Banjo Bowl sellout.

“It’s going to be an electric atmosphere here,” said Smith, who has 19 catches for 186 yards and one touchdown in four games. “You couldn’t ask for a better way to come back and play a football game.”

Smith takes the roster spot of Clarence Denmark. Head coach Mike O’Shea said he decided to keep the physical six-foot-two slotback Gerard Sheppard in the lineup.

Winnipeg hasn’t put up an in-season six-game win streak since 2001, but did reel off six victories in a row over the 2002-03 seasons.

It also hasn’t won the double-header Labour Day Classic and Banjo Bowl games since the first year the bowl game began in 2004.

The Bombers’ victory on Sunday was also the club’s first in Regina

since 2004.

“As a team, we left a whole lot of plays out there,” Saskatchewan’s Kendial Lawrence said of the close game, which was won on a Winnipeg field goal as time expired.

“We felt like it didn’t really have to be that close if we just complete those plays and just do the little things right.”

There was also a controversial pass interference call on the Riders during Winnipeg’s winning drive.

“It’s water under the bridge,” Saskatchewan head coach Chris Jones said.

“That one play, it certainly hurts, but at the same time there was plenty of opportunities for us to win that football (game) prior to that play.”

Note: Nichols has only thrown one interception in 162 pass attempts and none in his last 89.

NEB dumps reviewers BOARD CITES ‘APPREHENSION OF BIAS’ FOR DECISION

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

ENERGY EAST

OTTAWA — The National Energy Board has sidelined all three Energy East reviewers following complaints that two of them met privately with a TransCanada consultant last year and discussed the proposed oil pipeline.

The Calgary-based national energy regulator says it has also limited the duties of board chairman Peter Watson and vice-chair Lyne Mercier, who will not be involved in choosing the new panel to resume Energy East hearings at a later date.

Media reports this summer revealed that Watson, Mercier and board member Jacques Gauthier met privately in January 2015 with former Quebec premier Jean Charest, who was a paid consultant for

TransCanada at the time.

That meeting was part of a broad consultation with business and community leaders and the board says it was not aware of Charest’s TransCanada connection.

Mercier, Gauthier and Roland George were all assigned to public hearings assessing the TransCanada pipeline bid.

“All three panel members have decided to recuse themselves in order to preserve the integrity of the National Energy Board and of the Energy East and Eastern Mainline review,” the board said in a release late Friday afternoon.

“The members acted in good faith and have pledged not to discuss these two applications with either other board members or board staff.”

Watson, the board chair, and Mercier won’t perform their normal duties of assigning a new panel.

“They are doing so because they understand that their participation in these meetings may have created an apprehension of bias which could undermine the integrity and the credibility of the board’s decision-making process,” said the release.

Late last month, the federally mandated and government-appointed energy regulator suspended the fledgling hearings into the proposed, 4,500-kilometre oil pipeline.

DEEPWATER HORIZON VICTIMS REMEMBERED

Job market bounces back in August

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The roller-coaster Canadian job market roared higher in August, climbing back from its July plunge, but economists cautioned the longer-term trend for growth remains sluggish.

The economy created 26,200 net new jobs in August compared with a loss of 31,200 in the previous month, Statistics Canada said Friday.

However, even with the increase in the number of jobs, the unemployment rate crept up to 7.0 per cent compared with 6.9 per cent in July, as more people entered the labour force and started looking for work.

Economists had expected a gain of 15,000 jobs and the unemployment rate to hold steady at 6.9 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters.

Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter called it a respectable report with a few mildly encouraging details, providing a small antidote to the nastiness of July.

“In many respects this is really just the mirror image of what we saw last month,” Porter said.

“If you average those two months out, it shows jobs are pretty much flat which has been the story almost for the last twelve months … I think the bigger picture is the economy is struggling to really churn out a meaningful amount of new jobs.”

Canada’s jobs numbers have been volatile.

August’s employment data included a gain of 52,200 full-time jobs, nearly offsetting a loss of 71,400 full-time positions in July. The number of part-time jobs in August fell by 26,000 compared with a gain of 40,200 the previous month.

However compared with 12 months ago, the economy has added just 77,400 jobs as 35,700 full-time jobs have been lost and 113,100 part-time positions have been added.

The gain in August was due in large part to an increase in the number of public sector employees that climbed 57,000, while the number of private sector jobs increased 8,300. The number of self-employed workers slipped by 39,100.

But compared with 12 months ago, there were 5,500 fewer public sectors jobs and 96,700 more private sector jobs. The self-employed category was down by 13,800.

CIBC economist Andrew Grantham said even with the rebound in August, the six-month average sat at about 8,000 new jobs a month, modestly below the 13,000 average monthly job gain of 2015.

“While the gain in headline employment made up for most of the disappointment seen in the prior month, the decline in working hours and the still subdued underlying trend in hiring suggest that the broader trend in the economy remains lacklustre,” Grantham wrote in a report.

The number of jobs rose in Quebec by 22,000 in August as its unemployment rate edged up to 7.1 per cent from 7.0 per cent, while Newfoundland and Labrador gained 4,000 jobs in the month as its unemployment rate moved down to 12.3 per cent from 12.8 per cent. New Brunswick lost 3,000 jobs, with its unemployment rate dropping to 9.4 per cent from 9.7 per cent.

Marijuana producers getting high on expansion

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canadian cannabis producers say they are ramping up their operations to keep up with growing demand for medical marijuana and in anticipation of legislation that would allow for recreational use of the drug.

Alberta-based Aurora Cannabis is planning to expand its operations by 600,000 square feet over the next two years. That’s a more than tenfold increase over its 55,200 square-foot facility, nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and would boost production to 70,000 kilograms per year, up from 7,000.

The first 200,000 square feet, which is set to begin producing marijuana by next spring, is needed to satisfy the burgeoning demand from the medical market, says Aurora CEO Terry Booth.

“The medical business in Canada is going crazy,” says Booth.

There were 67,075 patients registered to use medical marijuana at the end of May, according to statistics from Health Canada — up from 43,342 at the end

of January.

“There’s no doubt about it that the medical community is more accepting of it,” says Booth, who credits the Liberal party’s electoral win last October with removing some of the stigma associated with the drug.

But it isn’t just demand from the medical system that has producers eyeing expansion.

Justin Trudeau’s government has promised to table legislation by next spring to legalize recreational use of the drug — a move that could create a $5 billion - $10 billion cannabis market, according to a report from CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld.

Bruce Linton, CEO of Canopy Growth Corp., says the industry could be bigger than that because some would-be marijuana users don’t feel comfortable buying the drug illegally.

“They instead go to the LCBO and they buy wine or beer or distilled spirits,” he says.

“So I think the real market is a combination of the distilled spirits market and the current illicit market, and that number gets to be quite substantial — well north of double-digit billions.”

Keep your children safe at work by educating them CHARLES STRACHEY WORKING WISE Dear Working Wise, My 14-year-old son wants to get a part-time job at our nearby hardware store while he’s in school. I want him to learn the value of work, but I’m worried about his safety. How soon is too soon for him to work? Signed, Anxious Parent Dear Anxious: A part-time job is a great way for students to earn some extra pocket money, save for post-secondary and find out that money really doesn’t grow on trees.

It can also teach valuable teamwork, time-management and interpersonal skills.

Working does carry risks, no matter how careful workers and employers are. And new workers are more likely to be injured than those with more experience.

Employers are responsible for providing workplaces that are safe for all workers, which includes providing safety training. Workers are responsible for working safely.

You can keep your son safe at work by educating him. The Young Workers section of the Occupational Health and Safety website, found at work.alberta.ca/ ohs-youngworkers, features educational safety videos targeted at younger workers.

It also offers information for parents, including two helpful tip sheets: ● Seven Things You Better Know ● Your Child At Work You know your son best, and you know how much responsibility he can handle. Use your best judgment when deciding when and where your son starts working.

One thing that might help ease your mind is that Alberta Employment Standards legislation includes provisions to ensure young workers are only allowed to work in jobs that have a low risk of harm.

For adolescents who are at least 12 but not yet 15 years old, parents or guardians must give the employer written consent to allow their kids to work.

The job must also carry no risk of injury to their life,

Adolescents are limited to working as a: ● clerk or messenger in an office; ● clerk in a retail store; ● delivery person of small items for a retail store; ● delivery person (e.g., newspapers, flyers, handbills); or ● certain food-service occupations (e.g., host/hostess, cashier, dishwasher, busser, etc.)

Certain food-service occupations (e.g., host/hostess, cashier, dishwasher, busser, etc.) are covered by an adolescent work permit for that industry, issued by the Director of Employment Standards. A Safety Check list must be completed and submitted to Employment Standards prior to the adolescent commencing work.

A permit is required for other occupations. Before granting a permit, the employer must complete a written application. Information about adolescent permits, applications and safety checklists is available at work.alberta.ca/adolescentpermits.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto Stock Exchange’s main index experienced its biggest loss — nearly 300 points — since the U.K. voted to leave the European Union.

The S&P/TSX composite index plummeted 263.26 points to 14,540.00. Earlier in the day, it briefly fell 300.36 points from Thursday’s close.

Business BRIEFS Saskatchewan to inspect pipelines near rivers, lakes, water intakes REGINA — Saskatchewan says it will be inspecting all oil pipelines that cross rivers, lakes or other bodies of water that supply municipalities.

Energy and Resources Minister Dustin Duncan says the provincewide inspection is a direct response to a Husky Oil (TSE:HSE) spill into the North Saskatchewan River.

The cities of North Battleford, Prince Albert and Melfort all had to shut off their water plant intakes and find alternate sources of water when the oil plume moved downstream.

Duncan says the province will start with 35 crossings where pipelines intersect with crucial waterways.

“There are a lot of crossings in the province.

Obviously we’re going to focus on the high-priority ones that could have an impact on people’s potable water sources,” Duncan said Friday. “We’ve obviously seen what that has meant to a number of communities this summer and the difficulties that has brought.”

Nissan recalls 10,819 vehicles in Canada due to potential fluid leak, fire DETROIT — Nissan is recalling about 134,000 cars and SUVs worldwide, including 10,819 in Canada, because brake fluid could leak and cause fires. In some cases, the company says people should park the vehicles outside until they are fixed.

The recall covers certain 2015 to 2017 Murano SUVs and 2016 to 2017 Maxima large cars that are equipped with intelligent cruise control. Also included are some 2015 and 2016 Murano hybrids.

NEB: Up to board how it governs itself More than 50 environmental and governance advocates this week urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to scrap the whole NEB review process and start over with reviews on Energy East and the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in B.C. But Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr says that, while an overhaul of the energy regulator is slated for the longer term, existing major oil infrastructure bids will be assessed under the law as it currently exists.

“It’s up to the National Energy Board to determine the way it governs itself,” said Carr.

“In the longer term, the government of Canada will look at the mandate of the National Energy Board, to look at its corporate governance, to look at its relationship with the government of Canada. But we will now operate under the law as it exists and the National Energy Board will have to take a decision in this matter.”

TransCanada spokesman Tim Duboyce said the NEB hearings are an important way to help Canadians better understand the $15.7-billion project.

“We look forward to the sessions resuming and a respectful and constructive dialogue with Canadians about Energy East,” said Duboyce.

But the public dispute over the panellists’ behaviour further clouds a regulatory and review system that has been the subject of fierce complaints for years from both environmental advocates and industry.

Commons finance committee told Liberals will table CPP bill soon OTTAWA — Parliament will have a say this fall on the proposed expansion of the Canada Pension Plan as the Liberals signalled today that new legislation to implement the changes will be coming in October.

Liberal MPs have told the Commons finance committee that the legislation is in the works, which will mean a full parliamentary debate on the changes.

The deal would increase the benefits retirees receive, increase how much income is eligible for CPP coverage and raise monthly premiums for employees and employers.

The average employee would pay an additional $7 a month in 2019, increasing to $34 a month by 2023.

Benefit payments of almost $17,000 a year, up from about $13,000 now, would be available for those who contributed to the enhanced plan for about 40 years.

VANCOUVER — A Vancouver company says it plans to acquire and restart a gold-mining operation on Nova Scotia’s east coast.

Resource Capital Gold Corp. (TSXV:RCG) announced Friday that it plans to acquire the Dufferin mine — which is fully permitted but idle since 2014 — and get it operational within about four months after the deal closes.

Dufferin is an underground mining and milling operation east of Halifax near Sheet Harbour, N.S. It was put into receivership in January 2015 after Ressources Appalaches defaulted on $11 million in loans.

promising to revamp the environmental review system, reform the NEB, and also enact tough new climate policies to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

Those various promises will be under intense scrutiny this autumn.

“The existing NEB is an economic regulator and isn’t equipped to deal with the commitments Trudeau has made on climate change and indigenous reconciliation,” Keith Stewart of Greenpeace Canada said Friday in an email.

“Trudeau has acknowledged both the NEB and environmental assessment processes are fatally flawed, so he can’t really expect a pipeline approved under (Stephen) Harper’s approval process to be seen as legitimate.”

THE ADVOCATE SATURDAY, SEPT. 10, 2016

Photos by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

Artist Susan Delaney has a new exhibit on display at the Kiwanis Gallery in the downtown branch of the Red Deer Public Library. Geospaces: Acrylic Paintings runs in the Kiwanis Gallery from August 23 to October 16, 2016.

Muse figures large in Geospaces RED DEER ARTIST’S EXHIBIT FULL OF VIBRANT COLOURS LANA MICHELIN ENTERTAINMENT

Susan Delaney’s bold, abstract paintings emerge from a tug o’war between the calculated and the spontaneous.

The artist whose Geospaces show is at the Kiwanis Gallery in the Red Deer Public Library, explained that once she starts painting, she lets her muse take over. “I’m not fully in charge anymore.”

While Delaney can control the colours and shapes she paints, there’s plenty of unpredictability in her process: the runny effect of added water, the chunky textures from rolling thick layers of paint. There’s the lifting effects of alcohol. When sprayed on the canvas, it reveals spots of underpainting.

The Red Deer artist has no problem cutting loose, but feels “it’s important to know when to stop.” Since overworked paintings lose their appeal for the artist, who trained in the Red Deer College visual arts program, Delaney tries to lifts her brush or roller whenever she’s satisfied with a composition.

“I like the freshness” of a painting, she said. “I like it when you can see a record of the (artist’s) emotion … I guess that makes me an expressionist.”

Delaney hopes viewers are compelled to meditate on her intuitive, non-representational works in the gallery operated by the Red Deer Arts Council.

“I see them almost like a delicious meal, so pleasurable to the senses. I like to look at the different textures and colours…”

Splashes of red and orange are countered by daubs of deep blackish grey and brown in her works Geospace 30 and Geospace 31, while bits of gold underpainting peek out beneath the ochre and grey in Geospace 3.

Geospace 20 features a thickly rolled dark tread mark amid splashes of purple and yellow.

The only pieces inspired by real landscapes are her Rocky Mountain Reveries. But even these compositions flow into loose bands of colour and shape.

“My paintings are not complicated or symbolic.

You’re not supposed to get some meaning out of them,” said Delaney. “The only meaning is the physical representation.”

By trusting her intuition and her medium, Delaney feels she creates “fun” art with bubbled, textured and splattered surfaces. Yet she feels her works are complex enough to draw repeat viewings.

“I always hope they are something I could live with and stay interested in.”

The artist who has worked as an administrative and freelance writer, started out with a degree in art history from Western University in her native London, Ont. She comes from an arty clan — her mom worked at a gallery and there were other artists in the family — but Delaney didn’t complete her visual arts training until after raising her children.

While she has exhibited her works in Red Deer, Edmonton and Black Diamond, she knows a lot of people don’t understand abstract art.

“There’ve been times when people have said, ‘My five-year-old can do that.’ And I say, ‘Well get (her) out there and get her going then!’ ” While she’s painted more recognizable subject

Hip’s Downie to release ‘very haunting’ album BASED ON 1966 CASE INVOLVING RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL IN ONTARIO

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A First Nations leader says she is profoundly grateful after a trip to northern Ontario with Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie to celebrate his “very haunting” new project that exposes a dark chapter in Canadian history.

Downie announced Friday that he will release a new solo album with an accompanying graphic novel and animated film inspired by the story of 12-yearold Chanie Wenjack, who died in 1966 after running away from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School near Kenora, Ont. “He’s very vulnerable and has a heart for indigenous people that I am so impressed with,” says Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak Grand Chief Sheila North Wilson, who travelled with other First Nations leaders to the Marten Falls First Nation in northern Ontario to commemorate the project with Downie.

Secret Path — the album and book — will be released on Oct. 18 and the film will air on CBC on Oct. 23.

“The project is all very haunting and all very real,” North Wilson says.

“If there are some Canadians that are choosing not to understand what happened in residential schools, perhaps this will help them understand because it’s hard not to relate to it. A lot of kids were like Chanie and it’s important Canadians know that.”

In a statement, Downie said he learned of Chanie’s story, who was misnamed Charlie by his teachers, from a 1967 Maclean’s magazine article.

“I never knew Chanie, but I will always love him,” Downie said. “Chanie haunts me. His story is Canada’s story. This is about Canada. We are not the country we thought we were.”

Downie recounted in the release how the boy died beside railroad tracks after escaping from the school and trying to walk to his home more than 600 kilometres away.

For more than 100 years, the federal government funded church-run schools across the country to eliminate parental involvement in the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual development of aboriginal children, according to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. The last school closed in 1996.

More than 150,000 First Nations, Metis, and Inuit children were placed in these schools, often against their parents’ wishes, which led to an apology from then-prime minister Stephen Harper in 2008.

“All of those governments, and all of those churches, for all of those years, misused themselves,” Downie said. “They hurt many children.

They broke up many families. They erased entire

The Secret Path announcement comes just weeks after millions tuned into the live broadcast of the Hip’s final show of their Man Machine Poem tour in Kingston, Ont., which many feared could be a final goodbye to Downie, who revealed in late May that he is terminally ill.

During that show, Downie called out to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who attended the concert, to help fix problems in Northern Canada.

“It’s maybe worse than it’s ever been, so it’s not on the improve. (But) we’re going to get it fixed and we got the guy to do it, to start, to help,” Downie said from the stage.

Downie visited Chanie’s relatives while in Marten Falls.

“I think there was a lot of mixed emotions,” says North Wilson.

“One particular person had a hard time because they were trying to not relive any pain they felt. So that was a little hard and challenging.”

She says she gave Downie an eagle’s feather and a beaded vest because she “really wanted to impress upon him that we appreciate him.”

The musician also received a blanket, a medallion and moccasins and played drums with members of the local community, North Wilson says.

On Friday, she says, they travelled to Chanie’s gravesite, which was filmed for an upcoming documentary.

Another First Nations leader on the trip also praised the singer for his project.

“We are grateful for Gord’s efforts to shine much-needed light on this dark chapter of history and his humility, sincerity and artistry is matched only by his determination to tell the story of (Chanie) and all youth from the residential school era who never made it home,” said Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler in a statement.

Downie began Secret Path as 10 poems that were turned into the 10 songs for the album, which was recorded over two sessions near Kingston in late 2013.

Proceeds from the album and graphic novel will go to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba, which is dedicated to preserving the history of the residential school system.

The Vancouver band that plays Wednesday night at The Vat is best known for making a colourful music video for the song Hey Allison. It made CBC’s best of video list.

Echo Nebraska’s 2015 EP, Send the Ships, got the thumbs up from numerous reviewers, including from Geyser Music and Lithium Magazine.

There’s no cover charge for the group’s 8 p.m. show.

Cosby’s lawyers play race card

Vulcan’s Star Trek Museum on the move to Drumheller

PHILADELPHIA — Bill Cosby has long preached the gospel of personal responsibility to fellow blacks, irritating those who fault racism for holding the community back.

But now lawyers for the 79-year-old comedian have suggested for the first time that racial bias is to blame as Cosby faces the prospect of 13 women testifying in court that he drugged and molested them.

Twelve of them are white.

Cosby’s legal team raised the issue on the courthouse steps Tuesday after a hearing in his criminal sex assault case in suburban Philadelphia. Whether they intend to bring up race in the courtroom remains to be seen. At a minimum, some legal experts said the defence is trying to influence potential jurors.

“I think that you’ve always got to have in mind who’s your jury pool,” said Los Angeles lawyer Mark Geragos, whose clients have included Michael Jackson. “That’s probably the end game.”

Or the lawyers may have been dutifully carrying out Cosby’s instructions: “It could well be they are expressing the concerns of the client,” said Carl Douglas, who was on O.J. Simpson’s legal Dream Team.

Cosby is set to go on trial next June on charges he drugged and sexually violated Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his home in 2004. He could get 10 years in prison if convicted.

In bringing up race, his legal team took aim at celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, who represents about half the women who have agreed to testify against Cosby.

Allred “calls herself a civil rights attorney, but her campaign against Mr. Cosby builds on racial bias and prejudice that can pollute the court of public opinion,” the lawyers said in a statement.

“Mr. Cosby is no stranger to discrimination and racial hatred. When the media repeats her accusations — with no evidence, no trial and no jury — we are moved backwards as a country and away from the America that our civil rights leaders sacrificed so much to create.”

Allred called the tactic “desperate.”

VULCAN — The owners of a Star Trek museum are moving their enterprise out of Vulcan to a place where mostly dinosaurs have boldly gone before.

Devan Daniels and Michael Mangold tell radio station CHQR their Trekcetera Museum just isn’t getting enough business in the tiny town which has tried to capitalize on having the same name as the home planet of Mr. Spock.

So they’re moving to nearby Drumheller, a larger community which bills itself as the “Dinosaur Capital of the World” and boasts a plethora of T-Rex and brontosaurus replicas as well as the Tyrell Museum of Palaeontology.

The pair say it’s a business decision to move to a place where they hope they can “live long and prosper.”

Trekcetera, a collection of costumes and memorabilia, had been one of several Star Trek attractions in Vulcan for the past three years.

Jason Schneider of Vulcan’s tourism society says it’s hard to see the business move on, but he wishes the owners luck, adding visitors can still enjoy a lot of Star Trek stuff in his town.

Daniels says while some might find the move highly illogical, they just weren’t getting the year-round traffic they need for their business to thrive.

“Here in Vulcan it’s very seasonal, so we’re very busy in the summer,” he says.

“But in the winter, though we still get people visiting from all over the world, the business is so limited.

“We need to move to a place where we have a year-round influx of tourist traffic.”

This year is the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, which started as a television series about the adventures of a crew of space explorers and became a multibillion-dollar media and marketing empire.

Catholics, Evangelicals splitting over U.S. election

BY MARK J. ROZELL ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Recent polls contain a finding that is devastating to Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy: He is losing the Catholic vote to Hillary Clinton by an astounding 23 percentage points. However, Trump retains the sort of support from white evangelical Protestants that is typical of recent Republican presidential nominees — around 80 per cent.

This contrast doesn’t just matter for Trump’s candidacy. It reveals a startling political splintering of conservative Catholics and evangelicals, who have tracked side by side for decades.

This alliance of Catholics and evangelicals came about in the 1970s. Before that, Catholics were a solid Democratic Party voting bloc, comprised largely of the immigrant underclass. Economic and social status, not moral issues, determined Catholic voting.

As the Democratic Party pushed social issues — brought to prominence in George McGovern’s presidential campaign in 1972 — and then the Roe v.

Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973 stunned many antiabortion supporters into political action, Republican strategists saw an opportunity to transform U.S. politics by aligning evangelicals and antiabortion Catholics.

This alliance was not easy to achieve given past divisions between evangelicals and Catholics, most prominently in the presidential candidacy of John F. Kennedy in 1960. Kennedy had to pledge to Protestant ministers that if he were elected, he would exercise independent judgment and not take direction from the Vatican. In the 1960s, Southern Baptists often led opposition to state proposals to restrict abortion rights, because Catholic-led organizations, such as the National Right to Life Committee, were promoting such legislation. Evangelicals for years opposed public funding for private education, so that parochial schools would not reap any benefit.

Nonetheless, in the 1970s, social issues drove many Catholics to question their steadfast loyalty to the Democratic Party. By the 1980s, many were voting Republican, due not only to social issues but also to their own improved economic and social status.

Evangelical-led organizations, such as the Christian Coalition, in the 1990s made Catholic outreach a priority in their efforts at building support.

Leaders of both faiths cemented their surprising partnership on paper in the 1995 document “Evangelicals and Catholics Together,” signed by major figures in both communities who pledged to work together on such issues as abortion and government aid to religious schools.

In the 2000s, President George W. Bush made outreach to conservative Catholics a centerpiece of his strategy to build a broad base of support among the faithful. He weaved familiar Catholic discourse into many of his speeches to showcase his support for much of what traditional Catholics believe. In 2004, the famous “values voters” election, evangelicals and Catholics alone delivered 36 million of Bush’s 60 million votes.

Considering that Catholics were for decades solid Democratic Party voters, and that Catholics and evangelicals once stood in opposition in both theology and politics, this transformation was remarkable.

Even in the Barack Obama elections, the Republican nominees held their strong support among evangelicals and achieved near parity with Catholic voters.

The alliance very marginally weakened, but that’s all.

Panel urges defrocking of United Church minister PANEL SAID MINISTER WOULDN’T BE ORDAINED IF SHE APPLIED TODAY

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Pastor Darrell Scott listens at left as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks in Trump Tower building in New York. There is an oft-overlooked political reality: The religious vote is vast and complex, and it extends beyond generalizations about‚ social conservatives who side with Republicans and black Protestant churches whose pastors and parishioners opt nearly unanimously for Democrats.

This year, the decline in Republican support among Catholics is dramatic. What is going on here?

Throughout the long years of partnership, Catholics have continued to hold less conservative positions than white evangelicals on many issues: immigration, the death penalty, health care, social welfare and more.

Trump has pushed a lot of these Catholics over the edge, especially with his strident immigration stands. Issues surrounding Trump’s personal conduct also have turned away some leading conservative Catholics. The conservative group CatholicVote lambasted Trump’s “character and moral judgment.”

Dozens of conservative Catholic thought leaders signed a letter that declared Trump “manifestly unfit to be President of the United States” and said that he does not represent Catholic values.

Consider the Catholic beliefs about respecting the inherent dignity of every person. Trump’s controversial statements about numerous groups, and his mocking of a man with a disability, stand in sharp contrast to the culture that Catholics strive for. Indeed, many Catholics are disturbed to find that de-

spite all of this, many evangelical leaders and voters can easily accept Trump.

To be sure, some prominent evangelical leaders, such as Russell Moore, the president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, and former Moral Majority leader Michael Farris have come out strongly against Trump.

Farris even declared a meeting of Trump and evangelical leaders “the end of the Christian Right.”

But white evangelical voters are standing firm for Trump. That is a significant contrast with the many normally Republican-voting Catholics opposing Trump.

For four decades, political and religious leaders worked hard to bring together evangelical and Catholic voters on key moral issues. They achieved for some time a truly powerful alliance. The Trump candidacy now threatens to pull these groups back away from each other.

Leitch screening plan stands out SCARED PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO THINK NEWCOMERS ARE A PROBLEM PAUL WELLS OPINION In fairness to Kellie Leitch – no wait, come back – it would have been surprising if no candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada leadership had run on identity politics.

Leitch, of course, is the physician and Conservative MP who has been vaulted from obscurity into a sort of pallid, sickly limelight for suggesting it would be a swell idea to “screen” potential immigrants “for anti-Canadian views that include intolerance towards other religions, cultures and sexual orientations, violent and/or misogynist behaviour and/or a lack of acceptance of our Canadian tradition of personal and economic freedoms.”

There are enough examples around the world of politicians who have sought to profit from fear of outsiders that I was actually wondering, before Leitch made her move, why that particular tactical position seemed destined to lay unoccupied in the Conservative race.

From Marine Le Pen in France to the anti-immigrant UKIP party in Britain, to Donald Trump in the U.S., there are plenty of examples. Trump, in particular, will have plenty of imitators in years to come.

Surely, demagogues and race-baiters around the world are telling themselves, I could push the same buttons Trump pushes and come across as less of a bellowing orange-faced country-club mutant. Winwin!

Candidates who stake out such positions usually find there is a low ceiling to their support.

Even running as a far less ulcerous and stale-dated candidate than her father, French National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine Le Pen seems unlikely to beat any serious opponent in the second round of the French presidential election.

But, crucially, such candidates can often rely on a high floor for their support, too.

There are a lot of scared people out there who are pretty sure newcomers are the problem. They have shown they will vote for the candidate who tells them they’re right.

And in the Conservative leadership race, a high floor will soon come in handy.

It’s getting crowded. Five candidates have paid their deposit, including Maxime Bernier and Tony Clement. Others are likely to get in – Andrew Scheer, the former Speaker of the Commons, is said to be the latest to commit.

Lisa Raitt and Peter MacKay could well run.

Running isn’t cheap – a total of $100,000 in entry deposits and a $5-million campaign spending limit – but despite that, there could be eight or more candidates.

How do you distinguish yourself in that mob?

Until last month, Leitch was running on “economic freedom,” defined essentially as low taxes.

But that position will be fiercely defended by Mad Max Bernier, who wants to shut down all subsidies, shrink the federal state to the size of a dinner muffin and privatize the sidewalks.

You can’t get to his right on economic issues.

What’s left? Urbane super-moderate? That’s Mike Chong. Regional power base? MacKay. Sympathy vote? Clement.

Even Calgary MP Deepak Obhrai – who has entered the race essentially to warn against the snitchline policies Leitch championed in last year’s election, before recanting and then coming back around for a second try – will reduce the room for anyone else who might want to run as the candidate of a post-Jason-Kenney openness to immigrants.

All those candidates leave suspicion about newcomers as one of the few bits of undefended territory on the Conservative leadership board.

It is hard to believe Leitch went there out of anything resembling conviction, but there she is.

But enough about Leitch’s calculations. Conservatives must make their own. They will do well to avoid two traps.

The first is what is emerging as the chronic 21st-century reflex of U.S. Republicans: Pick a party

standard-bearer who is desperately exciting to party activists and unacceptable to the broader electorate.

Sarah Palin, Donald Trump.

The second is Ernie Eves-ism: The urge to so thoroughly moderate your message that you end up saying nothing. In the federal Liberals, that impulse led to Michael Ignatieff. In the NDP, to Tom Mulcair.

Party members feel best when they follow leaders who they know, for sure, share their convictions. And Conservatives may need to follow their next leader for quite a while, perhaps through more than one election before victory.

So, they need somebody recognizably conservative, relatively young and patiently optimistic.

In the current field of certain or probable candidates, the two who most closely fit those requirements are Andrew Scheer, the former Speaker, and Erin O’Toole, the former minister of veterans’ affairs.

Red Deer’s loiterers are human, too WE AS A SOCIAL CITY MUST DECIDE TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION CHRIS SALOMONS STREET TALES Even in the humid warmth of the kitchen, the weather outside these windows was brutal. It may have been plus 10 degrees, but with a cold northwest wind and hard driving heavy rain, one could not but be thankful for being inside where it was warm and dry.

With Red Deer’s Mother Teresa by my side, we watched as several of our acquaintances huddled in any and every available nook and cranny, just to avoid getting wetter than they were.

This woman’s compassion for those affected is such that I have a very difficult time ruling against her to help them.

I will discuss the reasonings later.

Knowing that we were not open, many of these wet, cold and miserable folks would still hopefully knock on the window and ask for a hot coffee, which we often keep on the burner.

Once granted permission they will come in, quickly grab a coffee and head back out all-the-while looking longingly at all the empty chairs in the dining room. We probably handed out about 20 large garbage bags to be used as raincoats.

They are desperately looking for a spot to rest and warm up and dry out which we feel that because of outside pressures we cannot provide.

You see, we are in a commercial district and having many people loitering along the sidewalks affects the businesses that these people are trying to operate.

More than once because of complaints, the city officials have requested that we restrict what we do to the meals we serve only.

Ever since the closure of Berraccha’s , there has been nowhere for these folks to hang out. When it was open, they had a place to shower, wash their clothes and rest for a period of time during the day.

Such a place is needed again, but operated differently. I’ll go into that later.

Already I can hear all the “Go get a Job” residents of this fair city complaining because of another article of this nature on this subject.

‘THERE ARE HONESTLY STILL SOME PEOPLE THAT WOULD SOONER DRIVE ANY AND ALL LOITERERS OUT OF TOWN.’ – CHRIS SALOMONS They choose to ignore the realities of peopledom and applaud the articles that laud the effect of tough policing reducing the crime rate. There are honestly still some people that would sooner drive any and all loiterers out of town. They also want to roll up the downtown sidewalks at five PM! Now, let’s look at the realities of what actually is happening and how we got to this point, and what the available choices are. I will just use the number of 100 of these folks affected for an easier reference benchmark.

From personal observation only, I would estimate that as many as 30 to 40 people are affected with a mental issue to various degrees, most of which make them unable to hold a permanent full-time job.

A number of this group have ‘graduated’ from mental institutions or group homes.

Their graduation has thrown them in to the pool

with addicts, dealers and other sharks. Even though they have a worker or guardian, economic conditions ensure that very little time is spent with these clients, so they go where they are not only accepted, but abused as well.

Twenty to 30 per cent are working poor and folks that were once associated with the street.

It also includes a lot of single men and women who have no other social structure that they are comfortable with.

The remainder are a group which consists of addicts and substance abusers who are the ones that we see the most of on the street and the ones we have the most difficulty with.

Depending on the substance they use, their actions are sometimes scary or just met with disdain or even revulsion.

It is usually this group that raise the need for a respite facility, and it is also the group most detested by the general public. In large part because it is out of our control.

Unless we as a social city decide to take control!

In the 16 years that I have been associated with feeding these folks, I have seen a tremendous outpouring of concern and compassion in this city and the surrounding area; it never fails to surprise and encourage me and all those that work with me. We even have some very concerned individuals on our city council, so I believe that as a caring community we can find a solution to meeting the needs of many of these individuals in a compassionate and respectful manner.

In an article or two, I will try to outline what is being done presently and what I feel could be done in the future to care for these individuals and also provide for the security and safety of our community.

Brazil after Rousseff’s reign GWYNNE DYER INSIGHT On Tuesday, former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff left the presidential palace in Brasilia and boarded a plane for her adopted home city of Porto Alegre. She leaves behind a successor who risks indictment for far worse offences than the ones that brought her down, and a country that has lost its right to a place among the BRICS The BRICS began as a collection of large, fast-growing countries in the poorer parts of the world that Jim O’Neill of Goldman Sachs identified as emerging global powers in 2001: Brazil, Russia, India and China. (South Africa and the capital S were added in 2010.) The BRICS even started holding annual summits, although they were rarely more than orgies of self-congratulation.

Nobody enjoyed their new status more than the Brazilians, but it was always an illusion. China and India, with 1.3 billion people each, were indisputably great powers. Russia was a recovering great power, not a new one. But Brazil, like South Africa, was an imposter, lacking the critical combination of population, resources and industry that entitles a country to a place in the first rank.

Brazil was a fairly plausible imposter during the years of the great boom in commodity prices, but for the past two years it has been in deep economic trouble. It was Dilma Rousseff’s misfortune to win the 2014 presidential election just as the bottom dropped out of the country’s economic “miracle”.

Her predecessor as president, Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva, exploited the boom to build a modest welfare state that lifted 50 million Brazilians out of poverty. Rousseff struggled to maintain those gains in the midst of Brazil’s worst recession since the 1930s – the economy shrank by almost four per cent last year – and became the least popular president in Brazilian history.

Her unpopularity, plus a huge corruption scandal that implicated some members of her Workers’ Party (though not herself personally), created the atmosphere in which it became possible for the Brazilian Congress to impeach her. She describes it as a “constitutional coup” designed to remove an elected leftwing government from power, and she is quite right.

It is universally acknowledged that the Brazilian Congress is one of the most corrupt legislatures on the planet. 58 per cent of the members are currently under investigation for involvement in the “Lava Jato” (car wash) scandal, in which they allegedly got kickbacks on contracts with the huge, state-owned Petrobras oil monopoly.

Few of these people are associated with Rousseff, since the Workers Party holds less than one-tenth of the seats in Congress and depends on coalitions for a majority. A cynic might say that that’s why Rousseff has supported

Brazil’s ousted president Dilma Rousseff looks up during a press conference at the official residence Alvorada Palace, in Brasilia, Brazil. She has since left office, but her successor risks far worse offences than those which led to Rousseff being impeached. federal prosecutors who are investigating Lava Jato – but the same cynic would also have to acknowledge that one of the motives for impeaching Rousseff is to shut the investigation down.

Indeed, the majority leader in the Senate, Romero Juca, was secretly recorded discussing precisely that goal – and he is a close political ally of Michel Temer, Rousseff’s former vice-president (from another party), one of the leaders of the campaign against her, and now her successor as president.

President Temer himself has been accused of skimming $300,000 off a nuclear-energy contract, so it shouldn’t be too long before some kind of amnesty is cobbled together for everybody who faces indictment in the Lava Jato case.

Under Temer, a centre-right politician, it also shouldn’t be long before austerity measures begin to cut into the increased spending on education and

welfare that has transformed the lot of the Brazilian poor since the turn of the century. Money is scarcer now, of course, but there are other possible ways of coping with it than just imposing more sacrifices on the poor.

So what kind of Brazil emerges from this sorry story? It will be a much diminished country in wealth, in reputation, and in international influence, and the social and economic gulf between the rich and the rest will widen once again.

What’s especially sad about Brazil is that it really did use its boom to rescue a generation of the very poor from misery, and was starting to address the extreme corruption of its political system as well. Now most of that will be rolled back. The crooks are back in charge.

Living with a four-legged furry football HARLEY HAY HAY’S DAZE I’ll admit it. I’ve never been a cat-person. I’m certainly a dog person, and often, a person person but when it comes to cats, I’ve just never understood the cat-traction. Until now.

As one or two of my 14 regular readers may recall, the Better Half ambushed me with a rescue cat last winter. On Valentine’s Day as a matter of fact. When she adopted this cat from the Alley Cat Rescue Society, a kitten that had been found in a dumpster, she (the B.H.) said it was her Valentine’s Day present.

I was thinking more along the lines of chocolates (Purdy’s).

I never had a cat growing up, or any other time, other than when we had at least one or two dogs simultaneously. So my experience with felines has been cat-agorically skewed by dominant canines. Oh sure, the Kitty we had with Shirpa the Grumpy Lhasa Apso, Scamp the Deranged Shih Tzu and Scotty the Cement Head West Highland White was a barn cat from my sister and bro-in-law’s farm, and she ruled the roost, that’s for sure, but I never really had many chances to have a lot of good bonding conversations with Kitty the Queen Cat. But having just a solo cat is a life altering experience. Life altering in the sense of continually being amazed and confused about how weird a partially domestic animal can be. Take our newest family member Chicklet (please!) (kidding). When the B.H. rescued this multicolored diluted calico fuzzball and we finally named her Chicklet because she was small and not because she looked like a piece of

gum, she promptly disappeared for about a month.

Oh, she was safe and sound in the house all right, but we had to look for her with a flashlight under a bed, or behind some furniture, or downstairs in amongst the storage. According to the Better Half she (the cat) needed to heal and recuperate and “get used to us”. A normal animal, like, say, a dog would be on your lap licking your face off and happily chewing your shoes by now.

But gradually, Chicklet became a normal cat.

You know, sharpening her razor sharp claws on the couch, jumping up onto the kitchen table (during dinner), jumping up on the kitchen counter (all the time), digging into your stocking feet when you are innocently watching television (when you least expect it). And she also discovered two major attractions: food and outside.

So the B.H. decides that the D.C. (dumb cat) needs to enjoy the great outdoors because she’s a cat, but not to the extent of terrorizing the neighborhood and placing deposits in other people’s gardens, so we get a harness and a leash.

If there’s one thing that looks and feels completely bizarre it’s a cat on a leash. And Chicklet would certainly agree. She immediately looked positively mortified that a member of the feline family genetically programmed to hunt and skulk would be subjected to a collar and a leash. “That’s for doofus dogs,” she clearly said to me with her blazing cat eyes.

But now she’s more or less a yard cat except when she wriggles under the fence, and her leash trails behind her wherever she goes. So way too often I’ll glance over to the yard shrubbery to see what looks exactly like a red and brown snake slithering along the ground. I have had several minor to medium cardiac arrests so far on account of a cat dragging a leash.

Also, Chicklet has rapidly become Chublet. We

(the B.H.) has daily diligently divvied out the prescribed amount of outrageously expensive cat food, yet somehow this cute little calico has become a football-shaped pork chop on four skinny legs. And not only football-shaped but the actual size of a regulation football and then some.

Chunklet can barely fit through the cat door out onto her “catio”. Did I mention we (me) had to make our small upstairs balcony thingie into a patio for a cat? It’s all repainted and fenced in and has a little cat door and a fairy garden on a little table so Chicklet can have something to admire when she’s out there. Which is a great deal of the time.

Which is one of things I have actually discovered that I like about cats. Half the time, you don’t know where they are. She might be sleeping on my desk chair down in my dungeon office, or sound asleep spilling out of her favorite basket on the coffee table or a random empty box, or snuffling away, comatose on a warm sun-square on the carpet.

Of course, the other half she is scratching at her food cupboard wanting more food for the 45th time or scratching at the back door wanting outside for the 137th time. Or she demands that you play with her with the laser pointer or the feather on a stick or one of her other 82 cat toys. Not to mention the fact she wakes me up by standing on my face at 6:30 in the morning.

But on a growing basis, whenever Chicklet the Chublet deems acceptable, I get to have a nice quiet conversation where I get to pet fur as soft as a cloud, and get a lick or two from a tongue as rough as sandpaper.

I swear, sometimes I think that Dumb Cat thinks she‘s a dog.

8 signs you need to take a break from your business

BY BONI AND JOHN WAGNER-STAFFORD ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES TORONTO — Big ideas and small pockets, long todo lists and short of help.

It’s a recipe that can take 12 to 18 hours a day on full-throttle as you juggle the demands of human resources, accounting and budgeting, sales, customer service, webmaster and marketing.

If you’re one of those small business entrepreneurs who feels the pressure of time and you don’t take breaks for yourself, you are on a slippery slope toward ineffectiveness or, worse, a health crisis.

We’ve been there. When John owned his sound production studio, Montage Multi-piste, in Montreal, he was responsible for sales, production, mixing, maintenance and money. Working 18 hours a day was absolutely normal – until he ended up in hospital with stress-related health issues and he saw the damage he was doing.

When Boni was a cub reporter and television anchor at a small station in Prince George, B.C., producing and hosting a daily live talk show at 9:30 a.m., then anchoring live newscasts at noon, 3 and 5 p.m., her boss would tell her she needed to get out of the newsroom for a break mid-day. She rarely did.

Years later, Boni was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a stress-related autoimmune disorder.

But you’re strong as an ox, right? Your health and your immune system can hold up to that constant pounding and self-driven pressure, right?

That may be, but by not taking a break, you’re harming your business, too.

Cynthia Barlow has been coaching leaders and entrepreneurs for nearly 30 years. And she often warns about the business perils of not taking breaks.

“When you’re on at work too long for too often, you drain your energy reserves – like a battery – and need to recharge,” says Barlow, president of C3 Communications. “The brain becomes fuzzy, unable to focus, the body becomes lethargic and the soul becomes numb.”

Operating a business while your brain and body are in this suppressed state will affect your ability to make sound decisions. You won’t be able to step back out of the day-to-day minutiae to think about the big picture, to set your vision and strategy or plan for the future.

Here are a few signs you’re in this no-grow zone, simultaneously doing too much (at work) and doing too little (no breaks): Anxiety; Waking up in the wee hours of the night with worry or stress; Loss of joy; Loss of sense of humour; Losing track of the status of projects; Making decisions that turn out poorly or that backfire; Require several shots of espresso throughout the day; You’re too busy to take a break.

“Taking a break, a real break with no iPhone, emails or laptop allows space for the right brain to emerge, which is the creative, feeling part of you,” explains Barlow. “Entering this space is what replenishes your battery.”

Barlow says there are two approaches to taking breaks.

Building them into your day.

Do walk-and-talk meetings. Get out of the office.

Move your body. The brain works better.

Desk yoga: Every hour or so, stand up and stretch your arms to the ceiling. Bend down and touch your toes. Turn side to side in your chair and twist your spine.

Take five-minute breaks – no calls, no email – and just breathe: inhale to count of four, hold for two, exhale for six.

Taking an actual vacation.

It doesn’t have to be costly, try a staycation.

Put your email and phone away.

Read books, watch movies.

Let your right brain play: pull out your guitar or your paints.

Barlow stresses (no pun intended) the importance of leaving your work behind if you do take the family away for a vacation.

If you take your work with you, “It’s no break at all, in fact has counter effects. The smartphone negates the break, the family resents your absence, you feed your guilt machine, which further exacerbates the stress cycle.”

So add another important job to your long list of responsibilities: director of self-care. Your body and your business will love you for it.

Between them, Boni and John Wagner-Stafford have five decades of experience as entrepreneurs and/or providing consulting services to other small businesses across Canada.

This video game image released by Square Enix shows a scene from ‘Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.’

Deus Ex: a big heart with a mechanical soul ‘Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’ Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC Style: 1-Player Action Publisher: Square Enix Developer: Eidos Montreal Release: August 23 Rating: M The Bottom Line: 7/10 Concept: A choice-driven adventure that puts the player in difficult circumstances, but struggles to make the story feel meaningful over the long haul Graphics: Many environments offer immense amounts of details, little touches, and key iconography to establish a beautiful and believable sci-fi vibe. Character animations also impress Sound: The soundtrack elicits a cyberpunk/sci-fi feeling. The extensive voice acting is hit or miss, sometimes suffering from how much characters say at any given time Playability: Stealth is king. The gunplay, while controlling well, suffers from shoddy A.I. and uninteresting scenario design Entertainment: A reflection of our world today, but it ends up a little too long winded and the narrative sometimes slows the experience to a crawl Replay: Moderately High Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is futuristic science fiction, but the message it delivers stems from today’s societal problems. Police shoot unarmed innocents, extremist groups unleash acts of terror, and communities are torn apart by segregation. The story explores these issues thoroughly and makes a clear statement about the threat posed by totalitarianism, but the delivery is often heavy-handed and overstated. In establishing its vision of an oppressed world, the player is treated like a hard drive for extensive downloads of backstory and lore — so much so that

I had to make notes just to keep track of all of the shadow organizations, acronyms, and shady government officials. The game made me think about my world, which is clearly the intent, but I never felt a strong connection to the game or the role protagonist Adam Jensen plays within it. Eidos Montreal attempts to disguise hot-button issues as speculative fiction, but sacrifices an interesting story to hammer home its messaging.

Even Jensen is off his game, often appearing so gloomy he makes RoboCop seem like the life of the party. When we first meet Jensen, he’s on assignment in Dubai, tracking an arms dealer through an unfinished skyscraper. This mission displays the promise of Deus Ex’s gameplay, deftly mixing stealth with hacking and the occasional exchange of gunfire. This mission is paced nicely and delivers true excitement, culminating in the surprise assault by a new terrorist cell. It’s a hell of an introductory sequence, but the game never finds that pulse again and instead becomes formulaic. Once the action starts in earnest, the missions are surprisingly dull, mostly having the player navigate a sea of enemies to track down people to communicate with or an object of desire. I know this may sound like Deus Ex at its core, but my back was hardly ever against a wall, and I wasn’t compelled to search high and low for a more efficient path. I rarely ran into a need to switch play styles (as I did in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the precursor game), as most zones are only lightly peppered with guards or threats.

Outside of the critical-path missions, the world opens up and allows players to sink their teeth into what Deus Ex is known for: player freedom. None of the hub worlds are huge, but they are all truly open, with numerous side missions to tackle and secrets hidden well off of the beaten path.

VANCOUVER — All schools in British Columbia will soon have to include specific protections for gay, lesbian and transgender students in their anti-bullying policies.

Education Minister Mike Bernier announced at an emotional news conference on Thursday that public school districts and private schools will have until the end of the year to update their policies.

“We want to ensure that every child is recognized, every child has a safe environment regardless of who they are and who they hope to be,” he said. “I look at this and I wish we had these policies when my daughter was in school.”

Bernier became choked up while speaking about his daughter, who he said was now in her mid-20s but came out as gay when she was 19.

“At that time, (she) was telling me all the problems she had when she was in school,” he said. “For today, it really makes it important for me in a personal way, but it also gives me a real sense of what other people have been going through.”

Schools in B.C. have been required to have general anti-bullying policies since the ERASE Bullying strategy was introduced in 2012. Now, those policies will have to include explicit references to sexual orientation and gender identity, if they do not already.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the changes will bring the policies in line with amendments to the B.C. Human Rights Code made in July that protect gender identity and expression.

The B.C. Liberal government refused to introduce the amendments to the human rights code for years, rejecting a private member’s bill to add the language four times before suddenly reversing course this summer.

The ARC Foundation, an anti-discrimination organization based in Vancouver, is also funding a new sexual orientation and gender identity education advisor position to help districts and schools develop their policies.

Glen Hansman, president of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, said when he was growing up as a queer youth in Ontario it wasn’t safe to come out. The new rules in B.C. mean the onus will be on the school community to support any student who chooses to do so, he said. The Federation of Independent School Associations B.C. also supports the initiative to protect LGBTQ students in anti-bullying policies.

Federation president Doug Lauson said all independent schools in the province have had policies that include protections for sexual orientation since June.

Ex-boyfriend finds new girlfriend way too fast HARLAN COHEN HELP ME HARLAN Dear Harlan: I’ve recently gotten out of a long and damaging relationship. How long should a person wait to get back out into the dating scene?

— Still Hurting Dear Still Hurting: Wait as long as you need to wait. You make the rules. While you’re waiting, there are three things you need to do. Take time to celebrate, reflect and repeat. Let me explain: You need to celebrate that you are out of a long and damaging relationship. The future is filled with better, kinder and more loving partners. Enjoy this time with yourself. Appreciate what you’ve experienced and use it to learn how to make different choices. Next, take time to reflect. Think about the relationship. What went well? What went wrong? When did the relationship go bad? Why did you stay in it so long? What were you craving by staying in the relationship?

What can you do differently in the future so you can set boundaries and get out sooner? This might be something you do with the help of a counselor or therapist. This is something that takes time and work to figure out. Use what you’ve learned to help guide and lead you to a better relationship. Use the people who helped you reflect to support you as you put yourself out there again. Finally, you need to repeat.

You won’t repeat the same kind of relationship. Instead, you will repeat the best parts of the relationship and be better equipped to spot trouble, communicate and get out if you spot the same warning signs.

You should feel grateful to have this experience. It will only lead you to better, healthier and happier relationships in the future.

Dear Harlan: My boyfriend and I dated for over a year and a half, and then he broke up with me and got a new girlfriend within a month. What am I to think of his character?

— Questioning Dear Questioning: You had a year and a half to get to know his character. When your boyfriend breaks up with you and dates someone else a month later, it doesn’t tell you anything about him. Don’t play this mind game with yourself. Guessing his motivation is only going to make you doubt yourself. It’s also going to make you resent or hate him. This isn’t about him.

This is all about you. Spend your time and energy focusing on yourself and what you need to do in order to heal. Yes, I know it’s much easier and more interesting and entertaining to focus on him and his new girlfriend. And yes, it hurts to see him with someone else. That’s a natural reaction. But this isn’t about his character or how quickly he found someone else.

The reality is that you are single, and your ex-boyfriend is with someone new. This means he’s gone.

You need to take care of yourself. You need to create a new life for yourself. You need to do things that fill you up with happiness. You can’t depend on him for it. This might be a scary reality to face. Remove him from your life. Surround yourself with love. Enjoy this new phase of your life. Act from a place of selfcare and love for yourself. Take care of yourself.

Remember: It’s called a “rebound relationship” for a reason.

Dear Harlan: I’m going to college this fall. I’m an 18-year-old female and completely petrified of sex-

ual assault. I’ve read a lot of stories and have been told the statistics. What can I do to not get assaulted?

— Scared Dear Scared: Your question might imply that someone does something that causes him or her to get assaulted. No one EVER has the right to assault you. Perpetrators are the ones DOING the assaulting.

It’s NEVER the survivor’s fault. It doesn’t matter what happened before the assault. Survivors are not victims. Perpetrators are weak. Survivors are strong.

If you don’t believe me, talk to survivors. Instead of focusing on not getting assaulted, focus on what you can do to help identify situations where you might be more at risk. Once you start thinking about assault from a place of power, you can feel less petrified and more empowered. You can accept that difficult things happen to smart people. Your job is to make yourself aware of your surroundings, know your resources and prepare to defend yourself should you ever find yourself at risk. Self-defense classes can train your brain to know how to react in case of an emergency. Visit https://www.rainn.org/safety-students and read about alcohol safety, social-media safety, staying safe on campus and warning signs.

Join a group that empowers women. That said, vigilant people who do everything right still can find themselves in dangerous situations. Should this ever happen to you, reach out to allies and experts, find places where you can supported and take comfort by finding other survivors. Yes, it’s important to be aware, but don’t let fear prevent you from living your life.

Dear Harlan: I am in a slightly long-distance relationship (five hours) and want to know what you think is the most valuable key to keeping this relationship healthy - even if it’s a repeat of advice you’ve given in the past.

— Going the Distance Dear Going the Distance: The happier you can be apart, the happier you will be together. The more fulfilled you can be apart, the more fulfilled you will be together. The stronger and healthier you can be apart, the more stronger, happier and healthier you will be together. The more intellectually challenged you can be while apart, the more intellectually challenged you will be together (and you will have so much to talk about). The more you can root yourself in your faith while apart, the more faith you will have in this relationship and your future together. The more you can work on your emotional health while apart, the deeper emotional connection you’ll experience together. The more you focus on being the very best version of you while apart, the easier it will be to be the best possible couple when you’re together. Remind yourself that no matter what happens next, you will be OK. YES, you will be OK. Should your relationship change in the future, if one of you grows in a different direction, or either of you decide things need to change, all the things I suggested will make you stronger and better equipped to deal with whatever comes next. Be hopeful, be happy and be excited for the adventure ahead. REQUIRED READING: “The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts” by Gary Chapman.

THE ADVOCATE

ADVICE SATURDAY, SEPT. 10, 2016

Baby, won’t you look my way?

DEAR ANNIE ANNIE LANE Dear Annie: I am a 21-year-old guy in college. I am on my school’s cross-country and track teams, and in my spare time, I am the bass guitarist and one of the vocalists for a band.

Here’s the issue: Despite what appear to be ideal opportunities to meet women, none seems to be interested in me. I’m friends with several of them, but that’s as good as it gets.

I guess it’s because of my looks. I have a crooked nose; my ears stick out (I mean WAY out); I have a gap in my front teeth (like David Letterman); and I have freckles under my eyes. Think Alfred E. Neuman from Mad magazine but with brown hair instead of bright red.

I’m also very skinny, which I need to be to run miles in short periods of time. I know that some girls like guys with muscles, so that rules me out.

When the band gets done playing for the night,

it’s as if the room tilts away from me, as all the girls are talking to my better-looking band mates. The only girls who come talk to me are either relatives or those who ask me to introduce them to one of the other band members. (This happens frequently.)

I don’t mean to make this some sort of misogynistic rant. I know that women can’t control whom they are attracted to any more than my male friends and I can control whom we are attracted to.

I’ve thought about asking both male and female friends what my problem may be or what I could do to improve the situation, but I can’t because I’m too embarrassed.

I’m an athlete AND a musician. I shouldn’t have any problem at all, right? Please help. — Stuck Alone Dear Stuck: Trust me, not all girls prefer human Ken dolls. The “imperfect” attributes you mentioned can add to your charm. You just have to learn how to make them work for you. You can do that using the single most attractive trait: confidence.

So be confident that exactly who you are is enough. Let your warmth and intelligence shine through. Crack jokes; laughter is an aphrodisiac.

When you’re playing shows, flash that gap-toothed grin proudly and women will think it’s the cutest smile they’ve ever seen.

Smart belt tells us when we’ve eaten too much

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Your belt already has a built-in mechanism that prevents overeating: When you’ve had too much, you have to loosen it.

But the makers of an upcoming smart belt dubbed the “Welt” – short for “Wellness Belt” - want to take that to the next level.

The Welt relies on a magnetic sensor to track waist size. It also tracks the belt’s tension to determine when users may have overindulged. “Based on calorie intake, your waist can expand and contract over a duration as short as half an hour,” the product’s Kickstarter page says.

“WELT keeps track of these rapid variations in waist size to monitor patterns of overeating.”

The belt comes with a smartphone app where users can review how their waistline has changed over time and when the smart belt thinks they had a little too much.

The device also tracks some nonwaist data, including the number of steps taken and time spent sitting each day. That data is available through the app, along with “tips and warnings for your health,” according to the Kickstarter page.

Although it’s true that waistlines (and weight) can change dramatically even in a single day, just judging the tension of a belt may leave out important context and unnecessarily alarm users, according to Scott Kahan, the director of the National Center for Weight and Wellness. After all, your belt could buckle after you’ve chugged a big glass of calorie-free water, not just after you’ve had too many fries,

JOANNE MADELINE MOORE HOROSCOPES Saturday, Sept. 10 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Karl Lagerfield, 83; Colin Firth, 56; Guy Ritchie, 48 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: There may be some conflict between being idealistic with being realistic.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You are the responsible, capable and practical person who keeps things going. The next 12 months is the time to learn to stress much less and relax a lot more.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may feel emotionally vulnerable today, but don’t make things worse by being moody and playing power games. Learn to differentiate between what is essential and what is superfluous.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Lack of focus, direction and discrimination could slow you down and confuse you today. Bulls are trusting folk, but don’t let a dubious acquaintance lead you up the primrose path to trouble.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There may be some confusion between relationship responsibilities and work issues at the moment.

So make sure you maintain strict boundaries between what is personal and what is professional.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Expect some tension between personal, professional and relationship responsibilities. Trying to impose your views on others won’t work today Crabs. You’ll find cool compromise is the key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Money matters look complicated today Cats, as extra expenses surface or cracks appear in a financial partnership. If you can’t sort things out yourself, then find someone professional who can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A close relationship with a loved one becomes very confusing today, as neither of you are sure where you stand. In order to sort this one out, you’ll need to be practical and compassionate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today will be stressful for many Librans, as tricky planetary aspects diminish your usually deft diplomatic touch. It will be impossible to please everyone around you — so don’t even try!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When it comes to financial matters, be extra cautious and conservative today. Talk things over with a wide range of verified experts before you make a decision, and finally sign on the dotted line.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Saturn — which is visiting your sign — squares Neptune, so expect a day of unsettling uncertain-

Kahan noted.

Welt’s creators, the Welt Corp., said the belt uses an algorithm based on digestion time to tell the difference between when you’ve chowed down versus just drank a lot of water. “Users can also manually input and modify the number of times they’ve overeaten per day” in the app, the company said in an emailed statement.

There is a real health argument for keeping tabs on your waistline: Self-monitoring is a “core concept” to many weight management strategies, according to Kahan, and the extra calories people eat often turn into fat that clings around the waistline.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, those love handles can place people “at greater risk for developing obesity-related conditions, such as Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, and coronary artery disease.”

Smart belts that track health information aren’t a totally new idea, but the Welt seems to be closest to reaching mass-market status. It was originally designed as part of an internal innovations program at Samsung, but now Welt has spun off with some seed money from Samsung’s venture capital arm and turned to crowdfunding. Welt Corp. has raised more than $63,000 on Kickstarter – blowing past its $30,000 goal with a month to spare.

Products like the Welt are also a reminder that more mundane items are getting connected to the Internet or apps.

But some experts warn that the rush toward the so-called Internet of Things is creating more and more data that could leave users’ privacy exposed in ways they wouldn’t expect. ty. The less responsible and organized you are, the more confusing things will be!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may feel as if the worries of the world are heaped on you today as Saturn — your ruling planet — squares nebulous Neptune. So don’t make things worse by being over-critical.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): With thrifty Saturn and nebulous Neptune stirring up your finance zones, money matters look seriously confusing. So make sure you stash extra cash away to tide you over when times are tight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You want to retreat into your own private fantasy world, and are keen to escape problems and daydream the day away. But Saturn will bring you down to earth with an unwelcome reality check.

Sunday, Sept. 11 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Harry Connick Jr., 49; Virginia Madsen, 55; John Hawkes, 57 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Don’t let jealousy cause problems in a close relationship today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Born on the zodiac’s Day of Dramatic Choice, life can feel like a roller-coaster ride. So try to judge less and accept more, as you learn to relax and go with the flow.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s time to approach daily chores in a practical way, as the Moon moves through Capricorn. If you prioritize and delegate, then you’ll still have plenty of energy left over at the end of the day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Resist the urge to be jealous or possessive today Taurus. And, with Mercury still in retrograde mode, be careful how you connect and converse with children, teenagers parents and friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you’ve been having trouble getting a relationship off the ground, then mighty Mars gives you the push you need to get things going. The more positive and proactive you are, the better!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): When it comes to work and fitness, Saturn — the planet of discipline — encourages you to establish a daily routine. Then you’ll have more time and energy to do the things you really love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Are you doing more than your fair share of work at home?

Don’t let it get you down Lions. Others are beginning to take notice, and your efforts will be appreciated further down the track.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When it comes to financial affairs or a problem with a friend, resist the urge to worry and obsess.

Jump out of Virgo worry-wort mode and instead, slip into relaxed Sunday mode!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can waste

It may be a “fake it till you make it”-type process, but gradually you’ll start to feel that room tilt in your direction.

Dear Annie: Nowadays, many people are talking faster than I can listen. Instead of having clearly enunciated words, sentences all run together as one continuous sound.

I’m not the only one who can’t decipher the noise.

Using the TV remote, I’ve tested my comprehension skills against my wife’s, grandkids’, neighbors’ and friends’. Sometimes we replay a clip a few times and still can’t agree on what was said. I gave up on listening to phone messages; they’re so rapid they blur. Even a clear message is wasted when the return number is rattled off quickly at the end. Annie, you can help the nation if you use your column to encourage clear speech. — Hearing Gibberish in Georgia Dear Gibberish: I hear you loud and clear. We’re living in a world that’s so fast-paced it can become disorienting, and that carries over to speech. I’m printing your letter as a reminder to us all to take a breath and slow down.

Today the stars encourage you to please yourself as you take time out to relax and recharge your run-down batteries.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): With the Moon in fussy Capricorn you’re inclined to Scorpio obsessions, workaholic tendencies and cleaning frenzies. Don’t sweat the small stuff — try to relax and smell the roses along the way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When the Moon’s in earthy Capricorn, it stabilizes your fiery emotions and slows you down — just a little. You’ll taste success by being methodical and taking things one step at a time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When the Moon’s in your sign your eye for detail

Live LARGE in a tiny space

BY PERRY STEIN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES WASHINGTON — The idea started on an empty alley lot in Northeast Washington’s little-known Stronghold neighborhood. Brian Levy wanted to show those around him the benefits of minimal and environmentally friendly living.

So in 2012, he enlisted an architecture firm and builder to construct a 210-square-foot house on wheels - a particularly chic structure with stainless-steel kitchen countertops and maple floors. It garnered media attention - a couple of spreads in glossy design magazines - and some quibbles from neighbors who had grown accustomed to parking on the empty lot.

It also raised questions over whether the city’s zoning laws even permitted Levy to use the lot for his tiny-house experiment. Yes and no. He cannot use his micro home as a permanent residence.

But because Levy and other local urbanists lobbied the city to loosen its zoning restrictions, new laws that they say are friendlier to the tiny-house movement are slated to go into effect Tuesday.

These new zoning laws coincide with Levy’s latest business venture: He and his business associates have partnered with a Pittsburgh-based manufacturer to build prefabricated versions of the house and deliver them to customers in the District of Columbia and elsewhere in the country.

“We’re aiming to be the premier micro-house manufacturer in the country,” Levy said. “We’re a business, but we’re also mission-driven. We’re focused on helping people live more simply, more cheaply and more ecologically.”

Micro houses - or tiny homes - are part of an architectural movement encouraging simple and sustainable living. The movement has gained steam in recent years as urbanists and hobbyists alike pitch the structures as a cheap solution to the expensive housing crisis plaguing many fast-gentrifying cities.

There’s even a popular HGTV show based around the homes called Tiny House Hunters.

But critics of the movement contend that it focuses on single adults and overlooks vulnerable segments of the population, such as families and children, who experience poverty – and are often on the losing end of urban housing shortages.

When Levy built his tiny home – a glamorous trailer he dubbed the Minim House – he wanted to see what the response in the District would be. Designed by D.C.-based Foundry Architects, the house is “off-grid,” meaning it requires no outside electrical outlets or plumbing for water, sewage, electricity or Internet.

He created a nonprofit called Micro Showcase, where individuals and classrooms can schedule tours.

For a while, Levy experimented with creating a community of tiny houses on the lot called Boneyard Studios, which disbanded amid controversy in 2014.

There was a rift between Levy and the two other micro-home owners on the lot, which included questions over the sometimes smelly disposal of sewage, since the homes are not connected to sewage treatment.

The lot now includes four micro structures, a garden and other projects that friends are working on and which people can tour.

Together, these projects showed Levy that interest existed in tiny houses and that the venture could be worth a bigger investment. He created Minim Built - initially called Minim Homes - where he and his two partners sold 88 plans of his flagship micro house for $495 each.

Chris VanArsdale, one of the co-owners, said that he fielded questions last summer from interested buyers and that they considered selling. But ultimately they decided to see if they could create a business model around selling a version of the Minim House on their own.

Customers can now order one of the houses – with

or without wheels - for $71,000, plus shipping, and have it delivered ready for move-in.

At 265 square feet and 12 feet wide, the Minim House he is selling is slightly bigger than the one currently showcased on his Stronghold lot.

The company is hoping to sell at least one house a month in its first year. They said they already sold one test model to the technology company Intel, which used the structure as a traveling showcase for its products.

The District’s new zoning laws would allow micro homes to essentially function as carriage houses in the city, provided the structures are not on wheels.

Under the new regulations, it will be easier for homeowners to purchase a micro house for their back yard and rent it out.

The old rules required owners seeking to rent out units to argue their case before the Board of Zoning Adjustment to receive an exception. Under the new regulations, the structures will be automatically permitted in some neighborhoods – such as Brookland and Chevy Chase, where there are larger single-family homes – as soon as homeowners acquire building permits from the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.

Eric Shaw, director of the D.C. Office of Planning, wrote in an email that with these new zoning laws, the city wanted to give homeowners more opportunities to have accessory dwellings on their properties.

“Accessory units can provide additional and often more affordable housing options, can facilitate aging in place, and can help homeowners afford their homes,” Shaw wrote.

Levy said their target customer includes retirees looking to downsize, cramped D.C. homeowners looking for extra space or rural cabin dwellers.

“It’s ideal for one, possibly two people, depending on how much you love them,” Levy said. “It’s low-maintenance.”

It is also designed to be as functional and livable as possible, Levy said. There are large windows and a full kitchen. A cozy table for two pushed against a wall can swing to the middle of the house for an eight-person dinner party. There is a couch that can double as a bench for the table, and a 96-inch projection screen. A queen-size trundle bed pulls out when needed, and there are bookshelves, closets, a work area and a bathroom. And they are all small.

Levy said it will take a maximum of three months from order to delivery.

The power of nature in design DEBBIE TRAVIS HOUSE TO HOME Designing our homes changes with the passage of time.

The patterns of our lives shift as children come and go.

Space requirements connected with work and play, families and hobbies stretch out or contract according to the requirements of the day.

Fashion trends have their sway on colours and moods as political and environmental issue focus on what’s happening in the world. But through it all, there are four basic elements at play.

These are nature’s sustaining elements – earth, air, water and fire.

In his book, The Four Elements of Design, the author Vincente Wolf examines each of these forces separately to show us how they can be conjured up by colour, pattern, room design, furniture choices and more.

Wolf is a top designer, and has the talent to mix these forces to give a home its unique stamp, one that speaks to the personal lives and loves of its owner/s.

There is an intellectual side to Wolf’s writing that illustrates his love of travel, art, history, myth and astrology.

He has many muses. If you are looking for direction, or a pleasing scenario that will inspire your next foray into decorating, this book will give you fresh ideas on how to proceed.

As Wolf describes them, Earth Rooms are ground-

ed and steadfast.

They are safe havens, a good choice for a family room, kitchen, reading room or media room.

Earth walls should feel strong and sturdy, consider paneling, wainscoting or grass cloth and heavy wallpapers.

The same for the floors; wood, stone and patterned carpets ground a room. Comfort is key, deep sofas, down-filled pillows, casual multi-purpose furniture such as a large ottoman.

Earth rooms love materials that age, weathered woods, patinated metals, and accessories and collectibles that are meant to be handled.

Water Rooms share an atmosphere of tranquility and repose that is produced by the lightest of tones, soft taupes, off-whites and pale blues and greens.

DESIGN: Water rooms have a natural flow

Buy One, Get One 50% Off On DuluxŽ Kitchen & Bath and Flood™ Solid Colour Stain

Water rooms have a natural flow, the smooth sheen of lustrous fabric, draperies that puddle on the floor, furnishings with sculptured forms and languid curves, such as Charles Eames’ bent plywood chairs. Water moves effortlessly.

Mimic this flow by choosing furniture that is light weight, and easy to move.

Water refreshes and purifies. Wolf notes that the therapeutic presence of water “washes away the cares of the day�. This element is suited to bathrooms, but also mixes with the other elements at an entranceway or a bedroom Air rooms expand a space. Air has no beginning or end, so to create this atmosphere of spaciousness Wolf incorporates similar light tones throughout the rooms, and removes door frames, baseboards and any mouldings that break the sweep of space.

Mirrors are effective, and floating art work in front of solid curtains or wall, lit from behind, not only adds depth but also allows the piece to levitate.

Compose an air room with light weight furniture, show the legs on sofas and chairs, choose translucent or semi-translucent materials – glass, plastics.

Strie on the walls reminds Wolf of wind-swept sand. Shaggy fabrics, and gauzy materials let the air through. Always edit air rooms to allow for space around objects.

Fire rooms are transformative and filled with vitality. The compelling shades of fire demand attention. They range from corals and crimsons to ruby and rust.

Wolf turns to the works of the masters to illustrate the power of colour. With red, not much is needed. “Auguste Renoir likened a brush stroke of red to a sonorous bell.�

Painting aluminum siding a cinch HOUSEWORKS Q: What’s the best paint for aluminum siding? Of course we’ll clean the siding first, but is there any other prep we should do? What about application methods?

A: Painting aluminum siding is a great way to change the look of your house or to renew an old finish that’s gone dull and chalky. As you mentioned, cleaning is the first step, but I recommend a different approach than might usually be used. Instead of pressure washing, I prefer low pressure washing and scrubbing with a long handled brush for this sort of

Despite faded paint and lichen growths, this aluminum siding can be made to look good as new.

Cleaning, priming and painting is something any handy homeowner can do.

Place radiant barrier foil like this on top of attic insulation and it will reduce temperatures of upstairs rooms during hot weather. to allow outside air to waft into the attic around the eaves. You need to preserve any existing air flow from the eaves into the attic space.

The access hatch you went through to get into the attic probably leaks a lot of air. Add weather stripping or whatever is necessary to prevent air movement.

Also, you’ll gain better summertime energy performance if you place a layer of reflective bubble foil on top of the insulation. This offers almost no R value, but it does reflect radiant heat away from the insulation when the attic gets hot in summer. It makes a big difference. Just be sure to use a form of bubble foil that has built in holes to allow moisture to pass through it.

work. Get the kind brush that attaches to a garden hose, with the water flowing through the handle and out the middle of the bristled end. Pressure washing has its place, but it’s easy to damage siding because of the force it delivers. And in the case of siding, you also run the risk of driving water up and under the overlap of each layer. Instead, wet the surface with your long-handled hose brush, then apply a garden-safe house wash product to the siding. One of the best I’ve used so far is a Canadian product called House & Deck Wash. It comes in a bottle that threads onto a garden hose, allowing you to spray the diluted product onto walls from the ground. Let it sit, scrub the walls with your hose brush without water flowing, then repeat with the water flowing to rinse things clean. This should remove all chalkiness and loose paint. When it comes to painting, you’ll want to start with a coat of 100 per cent acrylic latex primer. Make sure it’s 100 per cent acrylic since not all latex primers are. Next, follow up with two coats of 100 per cent acrylic exterior latex paint. If it were my place, I’d go with as flat a sheen as possible since this hides imperfections better than gloss or semigloss. A flat sheen also means you should be able to brush the paint on with no brush marks showing.

Attic Insulation Upgrade Q: How should I upgrade the six inches of batt insulation in my attic? I’ll be doing the work myself.

A: With only 6 inches of insulation in place, you’ll enjoy a huge reduction in heating and cooling costs after you upgrade. Plan on adding at least 16 inches more to what you have. I’d go for even more in my own house. You can buy batts and lay them out up top of what’s there now, or rent a machine and blow in your own loose-fill insulation. Both methods offer similar insulation results. Before you add more insulation, pull back the existing batts wherever there’s a light fixture box, then seal around them with spray foam. Don’t shoot foam inside the boxes, just block all places where air can move through holes and around wires. Add new batts tight to each other on top of the old with no gaps (if that’s the route you go), but keep the insulation away from the eaves so the vents are not blocked there. Most houses are made

Chaos to calm for your new space DAVID FERGUSON CREATIVE SPACE Amazingly, some people will spend thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars, to build an addition onto their homes without once considering if the new space will work in the way that they need it to, or whether their existing furniture will even fit into the space.

Among the many reasons why so little thought is put into these plans, one of the most common errors made is becoming intoxicated by natural light, and as a result, incorporating as many windows as possible, and ensuring that each of those is as large as they can be. Another factor seems to be a compelling need for the new space to connect directly with as many other spaces as possible, whether or not that is necessary.

The consequence of this poor planning is the potential to create a room that has so much transitional space (the required area for foot traffic between two openings or functions) that any furniture arrangement will always seem crammed or forced, and the new room may have few expanses of clear wall space on which to place furniture.

The example shown here is a recent addition to a small family home, where both a family room and a new kitchen were conceived (the kitchen is located on the other side of the fireplace wall). The homeowners admit to letting their enthusiasm for interesting focal features get the better of them. Their “expensive corridor”, as they refer to it, has proven to be a real furniture arrangement challenge.

It is, perhaps, the worst of all scenarios. Although the space seems large enough, the room has clearly suffered from a focal feature overdose. The ceiling height is almost six metres (20-feet); the two large windows are double-stacked and the French doors that lead to the back yard have a Palladium feature above them; there is a tall fireplace on a feature wall of cultured stone; the main staircase begins and ends here; and the room has several openings leading to other spaces which effectively cuts a large swath through the room.

Of course, all is not lost and some well-chosen furniture pieces, a coordinated colour scheme and some creative space planning, will go a long way in making the room function as it was intended and look more pulled-together.

1. When planning an addition, it is imperative that careful consideration be given to the connection between rooms. Only the most important connections should be considered and others should only be included if, after working out a furniture plan, they will not negatively impact the space. Remember that anytime a new opening is created, square footage in the new space is ostensibly reduced.

A family room, for example, may need a direct connection to the kitchen and back yard, but a di-

rect connection to the front hall or the formal living room may not be as important. Leaving plenty of wall space will allow many more furniture arrangement options.

2. Prioritize the desired room features. A fireplace, a wide bank of French doors, an extra high ceiling height are all a pleasure to have in a new space, but each one of these features will also reduce the amount of space for other, perhaps more important, activities.

If you’re lucky, like the owners of this project, the fireplace and television screen may feature on the same plane and can be viewed from almost any seating position. If the fireplace were anywhere else, the two family room features may not be as easily coupled.

Remember also the sheer practicality of some of these features. A high ceiling and high windows are wonderful to look at, until you have to clean them 3. In a room that has few walls on which to place furniture, or an extra-large space that would create huge distances between seating components, a seating island may be the solution.

A seating island is just what it sounds like: a grouping, usually anchored by an area rug, and which is largely pulled away from the walls so that circulation occurs around it.

The seating pieces that may be used to create an island will, of course, depend on the amount of space available, but anything is better than a seating arrangement that causes people to yell across the room

in conversation.

4. Colour can be magical in how it helps spaces like these regain a sense of personality and order.

The colour scheme selected for this room took its cue from the stone wall feature, which has a selection of blue and sand tones. That feature provides the basis for a cohesive colour scheme.

A surprising number of bold patterns are used in this arrangement, and together they work seamlessly to help make the room feel anchored without resorting to the beige blahs or, for that matter, the blue blues.

The key to a successful colour palette in this type of room is to use similar and same colours, even when choosing patterns. Dramatic differences in shades and tints will be too jarring in a space that needs the calm of sameness.

5. A small investment in the time of an interior designer will go a long way in helping you plan space.

A few hundred dollars up front can save you thousands in change-plans and corrections later on.

Wine cellars YOUR HOME OPEN HOUSES go high tech YOURHOUSE

CHECK HERE FOR INFORMATION ON RED DEER & CENTRAL ALBERTA’S OPEN HOUSES AND FIND YOUR DREAM HOME!

When somebody brags about his wine cellar, do you picture a cold, damp, cobwebby underground space that’s so dark you can barely spy bottles by the light of your smartphone? If you answered yes – it’s time to get with it.

Today’s versions go way beyond basic wine storage. They’re now adult playrooms, man caves, personal style statements, and part of the living environment, like splashy paintings on dining room walls.

New-wave cellars often feature tasting tables, comfy chairs, lighting worthy of an art gallery, and space age technology. They even look good without any wine in them.

Take the nearly finished wine wall in the New York apartment of New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony. It’s fronted by a series of glass doors, so the trophy bottles inside won’t be missed. They especially pop with the help of strategic back lighting to underscore how prized they are.

There are no figures on how many people today are storing wine collections, but global real estate company Knight Frank’s current Wealth Report reveals that wine investment by ultra-high-net-worth individuals is up 241 per cent in the past 10 years.

(An ultra-high-net-worth individual, or UHNWI, is a person with investable assets of more than $30 million.) Drinking the stuff, of course, is an increasingly popular passion.

“For luxury homes around the world, a wine cellar is now a given, an essential amenity like a pool, home gym, or screening room,” says Zachary Wright, executive director of Christies International Real Estate for Western North America & Asia.

The biggest trend is cellars have moved up from basements into the main living level, often between kitchen and dining room, explained Evan Goldenberg of Design Build Consultants, whose clients have included many New York chief executive officers.

Joseph Kline, a former financial trader turned designer who co-owns Joseph & Curtis Custom Wine Cellars, points out “the visual is now almost as important as the wine is.” Their clients (which include Anthony and musician Kevin Jonas) want cellars to match the style of their furnishings, so many opt for a steel-and-glass contemporary look. Though traditional wooden racks made from black walnut and mahogany are still popular, Kline has also hunted down such exotic woods as jarrah and African wenge.

The challenge is how to square all this visibility with the requirements of storing fine wine: keeping bottles at a constant temperature of about 55 degrees, with humidity of 60 per cent to 70 per cent, and away from sunlight (ultraviolet rays prematurely age wine) on racks that keep the bottles horizontal, so corks don’t dry out and let air in.

“New technology has been key,” says Jim Cash of Revel Custom Wine Cellars in Lansing, Mich. Refrigeration is more efficient, for one thing. Backup systems monitor conditions through electronic sensors that trip alarms, sending texts to the owner if the temperature rises or falls dramatically.

Electro-chromatic smart-glass filters out ultraviolet rays and can go opaque with the click of a switch.

LED lighting, which doesn’t generate heat that could cook the wine, has revolutionized the way designers create lighting effects.

Old World character still much in demand

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES MINNEAPOLIS — Back in the 1940s, when Minnesota’s movers and shakers wanted to build a rustic yet upscale cabin on the North Shore, their go-to guy was Edwin Lundie.

“He was the sought-after architect of the day,” said Peter O’Toole, author of a recently published book about Lundie and his work.

The architect’s cabins, country estates and city houses were distinguished by their Old World character — gables, beams, traditional materials and artisan details, such as hand-finished woodwork and forged hardware.

“His clients preferred traditional styles,” said O’Toole, and Lundie delivered, designing stately Colonials and Tudors, quaint Cotswolds and Scandinavian-inspired lake homes.

Lundie was well respected throughout his long career, but today, his classic aesthetic doesn’t carry the cachet enjoyed by some of his more modernist peers, including Frank Lloyd Wright.

“Everyone feels Lundie has been overlooked, overshadowed by the modern movement,” O’Toole said. “There’s no reverence given to the traditional architecture, but it still resonates with people.”

Including O’Toole. He lives in an authentic Cape Cod that Lundie designed in 1937. It’s smaller than the large homes Lundie designed for wealthy clients. Its original owner was a single woman, Kathryn Spink, executive secretary at First National Bank, who commissioned Lundie to design a modest home for her on a narrow lot in St. Paul. The house’s footprint is just 856 square feet, but it’s packed with signature Lundie features, including an oversized fireplace and built-ins.

“His floor plans were so efficient,” marveled O’Toole. “He was the original ‘Not So Big House’” architect, decades before Sarah Susanka popularized the term in her series of best-selling books.

‘THIS LITTLE LUNDIE’ O’Toole and his spouse, Tim Schultz, discovered their home while house-hunting in 2003. “We saw this little Lundie house and got very excited,” O’Toole recalled. Originally, the Cape Cod sat between two small cottages. Now it was flanked by two looming apartment buildings.

But it still had curb appeal, with its original curving front walkway, also designed by Lundie.

Inside, the main floor was in pristine condition, with hand-finished pine walls, walnut pegged floors, an alcove with scalloped wood trim and unique hardware, designed specifically for the home by Lundie.

“You feel like you’re in the Colonial era,” O’Toole said. “Lundie gave it a look of authenticity.”

The kitchen still had its original wood countertops, sink and cupboards. (O’Toole and Schultz have since repainted the cabinets their original bluegreen hue. “Kay [Spink] built the house with period colors,” O’Toole said.)

Upstairs, however, the home didn’t reflect Lundie’s vision. Spink never finished the second floor, a project that a later owner undertook during the 1960s in the style of that era. Armed with Lundie’s original blueprints, O’Toole and Schultz redid the staircase to Lundie’s specifications, with white oak treads and knotty pine risers.

They restored the porch to its original look, replacing ’60s paneling with cedar shakes, and adding

Edwin Lundie was the most sought-after architect during his day, and many of his creations are still huge demand, including author Peter O’Toole. a heated slate tile floor.

O’Toole also converted the original garage, built to house Spink’s Model A Ford, into a studio for himself.

A BOOK IS BORN Living in a Lundie home inspired O’Toole to write a book, Edwin H. Lundie.

The book covers Lundie’s career, which began as an apprentice to Cass Gilbert, then a draftsman under Emmanuel Masqueray, working on the St. Paul Cathedral in 1915.

“He [Lundie] kept working until he died in 1972,” O’Toole said. One of his last projects was the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, for which he designed the gate, the original Snyder building and the well house.

O’Toole, a retired financial analyst, had already published one book, Paris Photos — Paris Walks, when he decided to tackle the Lundie topic.

“Once you’ve done one [book], you want to do another,” he said. “For two years, I thought about what to do next. Then it just dawned on me: Why not Lundie? All the houses are local, so there’s no traveling to Paris. He built in Minnesota pretty much exclusively.”

O’Toole wanted to help give the “overlooked” architect his due. Lundie was “steeped in traditional styles,” O’Toole noted. But as his career progressed, he added his own creativity to his projects, blending those traditional styles and adding unique touches, such as the distinctive hardware. “By the 1960s, he had a hard time finding blacksmiths. It was a dying trade.”

Lundie was actually ahead of his time, in O’Toole’s opinion. Many of the homes being built today draw from the timeless architectural styles

that Lundie celebrated. “There’s a new awareness of traditional, of going back to the original source,” O’Toole said.

KNOCKING ON DOORS Living in a Lundie home gave O’Toole a leg up on researching his book. After buying their house, O’Toole and Schultz were invited to a Lundie cabin tour on the North Shore, where they met other Lundie homeowners. “It’s kind of like a little club,” O’Toole said.

Some of those homeowners helped O’Toole locate others, pointing him in the general direction of particular Lundie houses. “The North Shore was a nightmare, trying to find these cabins,” O’Toole said.

“I’d walk, see a chimney and know ‘That’s a Lundie.’

I was knocking on doors. Some people didn’t know they owned a Lundie home.”

O’Toole also did a lot of archival research. Lundie kept records of all his commissions at his office in downtown St. Paul. After his death, his family donated his files to the Minnesota History Center; they’re currently housed at the Elmer Andersen Library at the University of Minnesota. “The U said I broke the record for visits,” O’Toole said.

He strove to create a book that was “in the spirit of Lundie,” featuring local craftsmanship, a heavy cloth cover and high-quality paper. (It’s available at Common Good Books, the Walker Art Center and the Arboretum.)

After living in his Lundie for more than a dozen years, O’Toole has developed a deep appreciation for its solid construction and fine craftsmanship.

“The best thing about living in a Lundie? You’re in his design, surrounded by the detail,” he said.

“It’s almost like living in a piece of well-crafted furniture. It’s inspiring and stimulates creativity.”

SECRETS TO KEEPING AN ORGANIZED TOOL SHED need to purchase another.

Now that the entire shed is empty, you can assess just how much room you have. Utilizing vertical and overhead space effectively can free up areas on the floor for larger equipment.

Shelving, racks, pegboards and any other materials that enable you to hang or store items off the floor are good investments. Visit your nearby home improvement retailer to find items that can simplify your storage. You also may be able to put scrap wood to use to make your own storage shelves or a work bench. Extra kitchen cabinets can be installed in the shed to organize additional items.

In order to remember where items go, label or sort them accordingly. Some people like to take organization a step further by tracing the outline of tools hung on the wall so they can be placed back in the same spot after use. This also serves as a visual reminder of which tools are missing and which ones need to be purchased.

Don’t forget to utilize shed doors as additional storage space. Hang frequently used tools, such as

rakes and shovels, on the inside of the doors so they will always be easily accessible.

You also can repurpose storage solutions designed for other areas of the home. For example, magnetic knife holders can be mounted to a shed wall to keep paintbrushes organized. These holders also can be used to keep many small metal tools tidy. Metal funnels can hold twine and string. Thread through the narrow end of the funnel for a handy dispenser.

Keep dangerous substances off the floor and out of reach. Gasoline, chemical fertilizers and other potentially dangerous substances should be stored high up to keep pets and children safe.

Make sure the shed floor is sturdy and level. This makes it easier to neatly store larger items. Roll in the lawnmower, wheelbarrow and any other cumbersome items. Now that more things are mounted vertically, you should find that you have more area to move around.

Taking the time to clean and organize a shed can help make anyone more productive.

Items that do not belong in the shed should be moved to their rightful locations or tossed in the trash if they’re no longer needed.

HARINK Mrs. Alida Catherine Harink of Lacombe passed away at the Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre on September 6, 2016.

She was 94 years of age. Alida was born Alida Keegstra in Engwierem, Friesland, on January 8, 1922. In 1928 the Keegstra family immigrated to Canada and settled in Kirkaldy, Alberta. Alida was the eldest of seven childrenthree girls and four boys. She is survived by her brothers Robert Keegstra and John Keegstra.

From her earliest memories of school it was her desire to become a teacher. After high school she attended Normal School and acquired her teaching certificate. She began teaching in 1943 and followed her passion for four decades, teaching in southern Alberta, Woodynook Christian School, and Lacombe Elementary School. In 1950 she married Elmer Harink, whom she had met in her high school years. In 1953 Elmer and Alida moved to a farm west of Lacombe, where they lived until 1977. They raised seven children-five boys and two girls. After several years on another farm, they moved into the town of Lacombe in 1982. Elmer passed away on his 84th birthday, August 1, 2004. Shortly after that Alida moved into the Lacombe Manor, and finally, this year, into the Lacombe Lodge. Along with her love of teaching (adults as well as children), Alida was a constant learner until the end.

She read widely in history, bible studies, and historical fiction. She loved to travel in Alberta (she couldn’t imagine living anywhere else) and western Canada, and abroad.

Above all things, Alida loved her Lord Jesus Christ and served him faithfully throughout her life. She prayed constantly for her ever-increasing family, for her church (Lacombe Evangelical Free Church), for missionaries, and for many others. Alida’s eldest son, Don (survived by Heny), passed away in 2013. She is survived by her other four sons, Doug (Debby), Greg (Stephanie), Stan, Rod, and her two daughters, Janet (Wayne) Reesor and Judy (Eric) Reimers; and by 28 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.

O HOLY St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near Kinsmen of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need. To you, I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present urgent petition. I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. Say 3 Our Fathers, 3 Hail Marys, 3 Glorias. Publication must be promised.

St. Jude pray for us and all who invoke your aid. Amen.

This Novena has never been known to fail and must be said for 9 consecutive days.
