WHIRLING DISEASE

Trout farms in limbo PROVINCE PROBING OUTBREAK IN BANFF

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Two Central Alberta trout farms sit anxious and in limbo as the province continues to investigate incidents of whirling disease.

Alberta Environment and Parks issued a precautionary quarantine order on commercial fish culture licence holders in early September after the disease was discovered in Alberta for the first time in Banff National Park waters in late August.

The province wanted time to test the commercial operations for whirling disease to reduce the risk of it being transmitted from fish farms to wild populations.

Whirling disease is so named because a parasite affects the fishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nervous system and it starts swimming in a whirling manner.

It is not harmful to humans but in young fish the mortality rate can be as high as 90 per cent.

Fire prevention measures in Red Deer are paying off.

Bob Boudreau, City of Red Deer Emergency Services fire prevention officer, said Thursday that in 2004 the city had 1.6 reportable fires per 1,000 population.

It began its aggressive Home Safety Program in 2005, and last year the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire rate was 0.54 reportable fires per 1,000 population. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about half the provincial rate now, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just coincidence that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going down. â&#x20AC;Ś Our fire rates are down provincially because the department is aggressive in fire prevention.â&#x20AC;?

This week is Fire Prevention Week.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Safety Program involves fire personnel knocking on the doors of about 2,500 homes a year between March and October and offering to do a home safety check if the owner wishes.

Lyme disease support group meets

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF A grassroots organization advocating for Albertans with lyme disease is now running a support group in Red Deer.

The Red Deer support group, in association with Lyme Disease Association of Alberta, began holding meetings in the summer. Support groups also run in Calgary and Edmonton.

Jason McInnis, association board member, said the association’s membership includes 300 to 400 Albertans with suspected or confirmed cases of lyme disease. Often called the great pretender, lyme disease is mistaken for many other diseases like multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and others.

“Lyme disease isn’t at the top of the list of suspects. By the time (doctors) get to it, it’s months, if not years, into this illness,” said McInnis, of Calgary.

Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of an infected tick. Symptoms can include fatigue, fever and chills, headache, muscle and joint pain, spasms or weakness, numbness or tingling, swollen lymph nodes, skin rash, cognitive dysfunction, dizziness, nervous system disorders, arthritis and arthritic

symptoms, and heart palpitations.

Since 2013, the non-profit association has been working to raise awareness among the medical community and the public.

Last year the association paid symposium fees for three doctors from Calgary and one doctor from Grande Prairie to attend a medical symposium in Banff put on by the International Lyme Associated Diseases Society. “(Lyme disease) has not been studied a lot in Canada, but there’s some good research coming out of Mount Allison University right now. The Lyme Disease Association of Alberta is providing some financial support to help keep that research going.

The questions are starting to be asked in Canada.”

McInnis said a lot of people struggle to get a firm diagnosis in Canada and often end up going to the

Boudreau said.

The home inspection safety checklist even looks at tripping hazards in the home. Residents can call and request the free home safety check.

Between 2005 to 2015, City of Red Deer Emergency Services visited 35,063 residences, gave away or installed 7,488 smoke alarms and 2,538 batteries. They want to hit every home once every seven or eight years, Broudreau said.

The After The Fire program, started in 2014, sees firefighters returning to a neighbourhood a few days after a fire and talking to people about fire prevention. The goal is to reach 700 to 800 homes per year.

If there’s a fire that is less common than other fires, or fires that are occurring frequently in a certain neighbourhood, fire crews go back into the neighbourhood.

They knock on doors and tell residents there was an incident without giving out information that is private. They talk about things like the importance of attended cooking, and causes of fires such as smoking materials.

People are very appreciative when the same fire crew that put out the fire comes back a few days later to canvas the neighbourhood, Boudreau said.

In 2015 there were 31 residential reportable fires in Red Deer, causing total losses of $1.4 million. The largest dollar loss was from eight fires caused by improperly discarded smokers material, amounting to $616,200. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

DISEASE: Trying to nail down where it came from Jack Fraser, who owns Fraser Trout Farm and Hatchery near Lacombe, said Thursday he’s still waiting to hear more from the province.

“Nobody let’s you know anything. You’re just kind of sitting. You can’t buy anything, you can’t sell anything.”

The province is trying to nail down where the disease came from and for how long it’s been around. “I don’t know if they’ll be able to because it’s nothing new. It’s in the States. All it takes is a bird to carry the parasite.”

Fraser has been raising rainbow trout for about 25 years and produces about 100,000 a year. Commercial fish farms sell to various private buyers such as fish and game associations or farmers.

When asked if the province has confirmed whirling disease in his fish, he said: “Not a hundred per cent no.”

“While we’re sitting here waiting for them to decide what’s what, me and every other farmer, we’re still feeding fish.”

Smoky Trout Farm owner Max Menard suspects the disease has been around for many years in Alberta.

“The likelihood is it’s probably been here longer than we all think.” The parasite can be transported by birds or on boats and fishing gear.

“We tested negative,” he said, adding his farm’s quarantine order has been lifted. But he is still not stocking fish in any water bodies on a voluntary basis at the request of the province to give the department more time to investigate.

There are about 4,000 private ponds in Alberta that are stocked by commercial fish farms, Menard said. His farm, located north of Hwy 11A, raises about 160,000 fish each year.

Menard said they need to stock very soon before their clients’ ponds freeze over. Normally they are stocking water bodies in late September, and new eggs will be arriving soon.

They do have protocol to prevent disease, Menard said, including sterilizing eggs when they arrive.

He’s hoping to hear in the next few days that they can begin stocking. “We’re not really sure what we’re doing yet.”

Travis Ripley, with Alberta Environment and Parks, said they have been working closely with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which has been conducting confirmation tests in Alberta for whirling disease.

Ripley said the department will work closely with a fish farm that tests positive for whirling disease,

United States for both diagnosis and treatment.

He said there’s not a lot of education for health care staff on lyme disease within Alberta’s very busy health care system.

“There has been some progression on a case by case basis of people getting better treatment.

I wouldn’t say it’s been a province-wide improvement.”

His wife, Susan, became infected with lyme disease in 2007.

“It was almost like she was in a zombie state, not able to pay attention to what’s going on, confused, tired, sore. That was constant, day in, day out, for the longest time.”

He said after three years of working with doctors in Alberta, she was diagnosed and treated in the U.S. “That’s not to say her doctors weren’t sympathetic to her plight. They just didn’t know what to do with her, or were limited to what they could do with her based on the laboratory information they had.”

The next Red Deer support group meeting will be held Oct. 27, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery, 4525 47A Ave., which is wheelchair accessible.

evaluating the facility and options for decontamination and eradication of the disease.

They continue to collect samples from the wild and commercial operations to better understand the extent of the disease in Alberta, he said.

There is an action plan now being executed, including an evaluation of potential management options they may consider once they have all the information they need, he said.

The department understands the time restrictions and they are in continual communication with the commercial operators, Ripley said. “We do understand the urgency.”

Compensating fish farmers that may need to destroy fish is under consideration, but nothing is finalized, he said. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

ROYALS: Finalists announced Nov. 7 The top 30 finalists will be announced Nov. 7 and the winners will known on Dec. 6.

Red Deer Royals will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2019 and has never had a permanent practise facility.

For years the 100-member band has practised at the Westerner, but as demand for that facility grew, the band had to find other places to play.

The Royals joined with the Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools, Red Deer Kinsmen, and private donors on the fieldhouse which is expected to be finished for September 2017.

The award-winning marching band with members from around Central Alberta has performed and competed internationally and locally.

“The Royals do play a big part in the Red Deer and Central Alberta communities with the parades they march in,” Goertzen said.

She said voting is free in the Avia Community Fund online contest and it’s easy to participate.

Innisfail elementary school closing

BY JONATHAN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF

CHINOOK CENTRE

An elementary school in Innisfail is closing its doors at the end of the school year.

Roughly 95 students from Chinook Center School will be relocated to École John Wilson Elementary School starting in the fall of 2017.

Chinook Center School originally opened in 1996 to house approximately 100 students from John Wilson Elementary to alleviate the crowding.

In 2014, Chinook’s Edge School Division began a $12 million modernization project including upgrades to John Wilson Elementary.

With the project expected to be completed in early 2017, Kurt Sacher, Superintendent for Chinook’s Edge School Division, said John Wilson Elementary will now be equipped to take on more students.

“The plan all along was to wait for the modernization to be done so there would be space for the students to return back to the school. It’s taken a few years for that happen, but we are now in the position to relocate students and staff,” said Sacher. “We have more than enough space to accommodate

them.”

Sacher understands the transition may be tough for some kids considering there are 417 students at John Wilson Elementary. He said the school board will do their best to provide a similar educational experience.

“We are looking to sustain a smallschool feel in a larger environment.

We believe we can, but it will be a challenge. The parents really appreciate that type of setting and so do the kids,” said Sacher.

In regards to staff, Sacher ensures there will be no lost jobs in the process.

“We’ve gone through a process to make sure their employment needs are met. They will still have similar jobs, but in a different location. Parents have been really pleased with the staff at Chinook Center School so they want to see that level of service continue,” said Sacher.

The school board and central office staff continue to work with staff, students and their families to ensure effective plans are in place as students transition between schools.

Red Deerians are encouraged to fill the streets with unwanted, but useful items this weekend.

The biannual Kick it to the Curb event returns to the city this Saturday and Sunday.

The idea is simple.

Place your unwanted items at your front curb and mark with a “Free” sticker or sign. Then explore the rest of the city to find new-to-you treasures.

The event is in its seventh year and Lauren Maris, Environmental Program Specialist for the City of Red Deed, said it’s a great way for people to get rid of their unwanted items without having to throw them away.

“It makes it easier for people to reduce waste by not having to take those things to the landfill or having to put them in the garbage. It lets someone else reuse or repurpose those items,” said Maris.

Maris said the interest around the community has become stronger.

“Kick it to the Curb has become an event where we continue to see a high amounts of participation. We used to run it just once a year, but for the last four years we have been running it twice a year because of its popularity,” said Maris. “We continue to have people call and ask about it to make sure they are well prepared.”

Maris said people need to properly indicate the items they want to let go to ensure they don’t end up giving away something of value by accident.

“Make sure you mark the items as free and keep anything you don’t want to give away completely out of site,” said Maris.

You can also bring your items to the Kerry Wood Nature Centre to be part of their swap meet from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

NDP brief keeps electoral reform wide open Similarly, the New Democrats note that most participants want a “fair” and “legitimate” process; a notion that it interprets to mean anything between moving to a new system with multi-party support to a national referendum.

For a party that has spent years tilling the electoral reform field, this submission is remarkably free of specifics. The Liberals, by comparison, have been at this for a very short time.

The first-past-the-post system has delivered more majorities to the Liberal party than to any of its rivals and Justin Trudeau is its first leader to commit to doing away with it.

But the NDP brief comes just as negotiations are about to get underway between the members of a parliamentary committee tasked with making recommendations on electoral reform to the government by Dec. 1. At that point, time will be of the essence as Elections Canada needs a considerable amount of lead time to put a new system in place in time for 2019.

Although the Liberals hold the most seats (five) on the 12-member committee, they do not have a majority. There cannot be a majority report absent an alliance between two or more of the five parties at the table.

The Conservatives are unlikely to

CHANTAL HÉBERT OPINION

I

f one had to take away just one thing from the NDP’s just-released submission on electoral reform, it is that it strenuously avoids tracing a party line in the sand.

As leader, Thomas Mulcair campaigned on a mixed-member proportional system. But in its brief, the NDP carefully avoids pinning itself down to a specific system to the exclusion of others, or to a process to achieve a reform.

Instead, the NDP reports that an overwhelming majority of those who attended the 40 or so town halls it held over the summer want a more proportional system.

That is only groundbreaking until one considers that voters who have no quarrels with the first-past-the-post system probably did not sacrifice a summer evening to dream up a different approach to electing members of the House of Commons.

be part of any deal. They have drawn their line in the sand on process. For the official Opposition, any move to a different voting system has to be approved by a majority of Canadians through a national referendum. If that sounds like a long shot, it is because that is what the Conservatives hope it to be. From their perspective, the current first-past-the-post system best serves their party.

On paper, the Liberals, given their governing majority, always have the option of going it alone - imposing a preferred voting system through legislation. But that path would be fraught with difficulties.

Polls have shown that a majority of Canadians support the Conservative contention that an electoral reform of this magnitude should be put to a referendum.

Some experts have argued that moving to a new federal voting system could require a constitutional amendment.

It is far from certain that an electoral reform bill backed by only the Liberals would find timely support in the Senate.

There is precedent for the upper house to hold out on a major government plan until Canadians have had a

say through a vote. At the time of the 1988 free-trade debate, the Liberal majority in the Senate refused to approve Brian Mulroney’s trade deal until an election had been held.

The scenario of unilateral Liberal action would also consume a fair amount of political capital on a file that is ultimately secondary to both the partisan and the policy interests of the current government.

This is one promise many Liberals would be happy enough to see Trudeau ditch, as long as he and the government did not have to take the blame for pulling the plug.

An all-party parliamentary committee deadlocked on the issue of the voting system would offer the government a relatively easy way out.

The NDP describes its brief as setting out the parameters within which its caucus would support a reform and a process to achieve it. If those parameters read like you could run a truck through them, it’s because keeping Trudeau from backtracking from his promise to change the voting system in time for the 2019 election is also the point.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Carbon tax

John Stewart is probably aware that Navius Research Inc. calculated that the average British Columbia family would be $121 better off by 2020 with the province’s $30 per tonne carbon tax. The cost of the carbon tax, per family, would be $125 per year, as he stated, but the benefits of recycling carbon taxes to individuals and businesses would be $277. Net gain: $121.

B.C.’s GDP is growing at three per cent and it has the lowest taxes in Canada. Canada is growing at 1.5 per cent.

Strange statistics. Sweden has a carbon tax of $150 per tonne, and its GDP is growing at 3.4 per cent. Strange indeed.

The Harper government in 2010 released the findings of its Environmental and Climate Change Canada department, which estimated the “social cost” of greenhouse gases (GHG) to be $28 per tonne rising to $58 by 2050.

These have now been revised to $41 in 2016 rising to $75 by 2050. No province meets these levels of GHG pricing. The U.S.A. has similar estimates for the social costs of GHG. A Stanford University study has estimated the cost at $270 per tonne. Exxon has been lobbying the U.S. government for a carbon tax since 2009. Shell and P.B. agree. In AlRED DEER

berta, Shell, Cenovus, and Suncor all want carbon pricing.

Social costs of GHG refer to the effects of climate change and pollution on human health, agriculture, extreme weather, rising sea levels, human migrations, animal extinctions, and other ecosystem disasters. Many are now comparing GHG pricing to a premium on an insurance policy. Why do we have health, life, auto, and house insurance?

GHG pricing already covers 87 per cent of Canadians. Trudeau’s plan to start at $10 per tonne sounds, pardon me, “conservative.”

Big city? Small town?

Red Deer wants to be both.

Red Deer wants to be included in the province’s big city charter for issues like low-income transit subsidies, and smaller land allocations for high schools. Red Deer claims it is a small town and does not need a ward system, or when it comes to having five high schools along 30 Avenue.

You cannot have it both ways.

elected officials in the southeast quadrant, along with all the high schools, current and future?

The big city charter means more money and power for big cities. So now we want to be a big city. We will get more money for transit, more authority on planning and municipal land allocation and requirements.

We do not want to give the third of our city’s population that live north of the river proportional representation because they might want a new swimming pool, indoor ice rink or swimming pool, or even a high school, because we are still a small city.

But if in this case it means we will get more money and power, then we are a big city.

Mayor and city councillors, we cannot have our cake and eat it, too. Didn’t your mothers ever tell you that? Make up your minds, and make decisions.

You want to be a big city? Fine then act like a big city. Give everyone an equal voice. If that means a ward system municipally then so be it.

Act like a big city and then you might get invited to the big city table, act like small town and you will be treated like small town. It is up to you.

You cannot have it both ways.

The same applies to clothes, shoes, school buildings, running school buses, doctors offices, drug stores, home and water heating, likewise businesses, cremation and funeral costs, taxes on taxes like gasoline or diesel, government work, buildings or government hot air.

If one was doing research, would one expect government sites to state they were doing a bad job?

Drinking water has been monitored to for total organic carbon (TOC) for decades.

Why the abject fear of carbon?

Name the growing items that do not produce carbon. Name the items that die that do not produce carbon.

If you burn your grass, does it produce more carbon than letting it die on its own? Or trees?

Investment adviser to face discipline panel

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A former Red Deer investment adviser accused of misappropriating funds will go before an industry discipline panel.

Shaun Wayne Howell allegedly solicited clients to invest in securities and then misappropriated the funds received, says the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC).

The alleged misappropriation oc-

curred between November 2008 and February 2015 while Howell was a registered representative with the Red Deer branch of RBC Dominion Securities Inc., says IIROC. It is alleged Howell convinced his clients, many of them long-time friends, to invest $692,000, which he put into his personal bank account for his own use. He paid out $290,000 to five clients over several years, “which he falsely represented to them was an investment return,” alleges IIROC in background documents on its website.

As well, one client was allegedly

given a falsified account statement.

It is also alleged that Howell engaged in personal financial dealings with a client. Howell is accused of borrowing $50,000 from a client without his dealer member firm’s knowledge.

IIROC launched an investigation into Howell’s conduct in March 2015.

Howell, who had worked at RBC since 1999, was fired in March 2015 and no longer works with any IIROC-regulated firm.

All allegations are contrary to IIROC membership rules. A hearing has been set for Nov. 21-23 in Calgary.

IIROC is the national self-regulatory organization which oversees all investment dealers and their trading activity in Canada’s debt and equity markets.

It can bring disciplinary proceedings, which may result in penalties including: fines, suspensions, permanent bars, expulsion from membership, or termination of rights and privileges for individuals and firms.

The Advocate was unable to reach anyone for comment from Red Deer’s RBC Dominion Securities branch on Thursday afternoon.

Fall homeless count likely the city’s last COUNT TO TAKE PLACE DURING SPRING IN FUTURE

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Next week the city will likely hold its last homeless count during the fall and opt for a spring count in the future.

Red Deer previously held two Point in Time Homeless Counts in October in 2012 and 2014.

“In 2018 we ‘IN 2018 WE will most likely move to a spring WILL MOST count and then LIKELY we can be conMOVE TO sistent with othA SPRING er communities across Canada COUNT . . .’ and give a broader picture,” said — ROXANA NIELSEN STEWART R o x a n a N i e l - SOCIAL PLANNING SUPERVISOR sen Stewart, the city’s social planning supervisor.

She said there has been lots of debate about the right time to hold counts.

“People think it’s a good time to have a count in the winter time because it’s cold out. But sometimes in the winter time people do move indoors more. Family members or friends will accommodate people. In the summer time there is an employment swing that happens. People move to a community looking for employment so they might not be here for a long term.

“The fall and spring have been found to maybe give a better representation of the population.”

Next week Red Deer will be one of seven Alberta communities taking part in homeless counts within the same 24-hour period starting on Oct. 19 and into the morning of Oct. 20.

She said Red Deer has been working on its alignment with the Alberta’s other six major communities — Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Grande Prairie and the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. Edmonton has been holding counts in the fall for many years and will also likely move to a spring count.

Enough volunteers have come forward to fan out across Red Deer for the city’s homeless count on Wednesday. About 200 volunteers are needed to walk the neighbourhoods and survey people. Training is happening this week and next week.

During the 2012 count, volunteers counted 279 homeless in the city, either in shelters or in the community.

In 2014 there were 137. Red Deer did not do counts prior to 2012.

Nielsen Stewart said Point in Time Homeless Counts provide a snapshot and basic information on those who are homeless.

Red Deer has a five-year plan to end homelessness, which aims to end homelessness by 2018. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Transit riders wait for their bus outside the Parkland Mall on Thursday. Results from the World Car Free Day are in.

Transit ridership up on World Car Free Day

BY JOHN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF More people than usual left their cars at home and rode the bus on Sept.

22 for World Car Free Day. Compared to the previous Thursday, Red Deer Transit ridership increased by one per cent with an additional 119 people choosing to take public transit.

Matthew Chambers, Environmental Program Specialist for the City of Red

Deer, said he was pleased to see an increase considering the recent decline of transit ridership across the country.

“We’re happy that there has been an increase in ridership compared to the previous Thursday. We have noticed a decrease in ridership throughout municipalities in the country with all forms of transits. We anticipated a decline, so we are happy with the results,” said Chambers.

More than 35 citizens and city staff participated in the city’s surveys and reported their own commuter chal-

lenge.

Eight per cent chose to carpool, 14 per cent chose to walk to work, 11 per cent rode their bike and 50 per cent took transit.

Based on the average commute in Red Deer, participants prevented approximately 304 kg of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

World Car Free Day is a designated day to explore alternative modes of transportation, reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution, improve health and save money.

NexSource Centre expected to be complete by February

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Sylvan Lake’s NexSource Centre is on track for completion in February.

But residents will have to wait a few weeks after to give the town time to fill the pool, freeze the rink and bring staff up to speed on their new facility Since early on, Clark Builders has pegged February as the date they will lay down their hammers on the $33.5-million recreation complex and it is holding up so far, says an update that went to Sylvan Lake town council on Tuesday.

Town communications officer Joanne Gaudet said there was an impression among some in the community that the doors would swing open to the public in February.

So rather than turn away families with skates or towels in hand, the town is getting the word out that late March is likely the soonest the facility will be ready for full use.

Before that “there will be tours and soft launches and give staff an opportunity to use them as training exercises,” she said.

The town is already thinking about a big grand opening. No date has been set yet.

The facility includes a five-sheet curling rink, arena, three-lane running track, seniors centre, children’s play and youth activity centres, meeting rooms and a multi-purpose civic space.

It will also tie into the town’s Aquatic Centre, which has been closed since last spring when corrosion in support columns was detected.

The complex will also be home to the town’s Visitor Information Centre.

An information booth has been lo-

SYLVAN LAKE cated for years next to the library on 50th Ave. It was staffed from the May long weekend to Labour Day weekend.

However, as more people get their

tourist information online the booth was outliving its usefulness, says Gaudet. The popular beach ambassador program and online information will continue.

Instead, it has been proposed that tourist information be available yearround at the NexSource Centre.

Union prepares for biggest round of contract talks from the union’s annual convention in Edmonton.

“So we are not going and storming the barricades saying, ‘yes, we are going to walk off the job.’ I don’t think our members are in that kind of mood.”

In the spring, the Alberta government passed a law to comply with a Supreme Court ruling that public sector workers have the right to strike. The Progressive Conservatives barred AUPE from legal walkouts when the union formed in the 1970s.

Smith said the union is still working on its monetary proposals as it prepares for what he calls the biggest round of talks in its history.

The union expects the government and related employers will come to the bargaining table preaching restraint.

Smith suggested the emphasis in bargaining could focus more on issues other than wages.

“We do now have a government, I think, that is much more aware of the other issues that we bring to the table other than monetary issues — working conditions, workload, and the other things that need to be addressed in the collective agreements,” Smith said.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta’s largest union is in no hurry to use its newly won right to strike to squeeze a big raise from the cash-strapped NDP government.

The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) says up to 75,000 of its members will be in collective bargaining in 2017, including people who work directly for the government, Alberta Health Services and some other public sector organizations.

President Guy Smith says the union’s contract proposals will be tempered by the realities of the economic downturn, including the tens of thousands of people in the private sector who have lost their jobs because of the slumping oil industry.

But the union’s right to take job action will be a factor.

“With that newly established right comes responsibility to use it prudently and make sure that all it does is allow us, if necessary — if negotiations break down, to have resources and rights that we didn’t have before,” Smith said Thursday in an interview

“We need to be creative in terms of developing proposal language that addressed numerous issues that over the years the previous governments have completely ignored.”

AUPE worked against the previous Progressive Conservative government with its Preparing for Change and The Alberta Way campaigns in the hope of influencing the outcome of the 2015 provincial election. The union’s website notes the NDP didn’t topple the Tory dynasty alone.

Smith said the union must take into account the political challenge facing the NDP government, which is to have a deficit of $10.9 billion by the end of the fiscal year and an accumulated debt of $58 billion by the end of the decade.

Alberta’s opposition parties are expected to pay close attention to the cost of whatever agreement is reached with AUPE. “It will obviously be a challenge for this current government to be able to publicly stand by what they end up negotiating,” Smith said.

RCMP accuse men of switching seats before traffic stop EDSON — Mounties are accusing two men of switching seats during a traffic stop in westcentral Alberta.

RCMP say police pulled over a car in Edson on Saturday, and spoke to the person in the driver’s seat.

The officer asked the man to do a roadside breath test and after doing it, the man was arrested.

Another man in the vehicle was also arrested and both were taken back to the detachment to provide breath samples.

Police say both breath samples were over the legal limit.

Several charges, including impaired operation of a motor vehicle and impaired care or control of a vehicle, as well as obstructing a peace officer, are pending against both men.

Both accused, who police didn’t name, are to appear in Edson provincial court on Nov. 15.

ASIRT describes scene where police shot man CALGARY — The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says a 76-year-old man who was shot by Calgary police earlier this week had also suffered a cut to his neck and at least three stab wounds.

The agency, which investigates serious injuries and deaths that involve police, released the new details Thursday about the chaotic and bloody scene officers encountered Tuesday at a home in Calgary’s south end.

ASIRT says a 21-yearold man covered in blood came out the front door and told officers a family member had attacked him.

The younger man was carrying a knife in one hand and a cellphone in the other, which he dropped when police told him to.

Inside a detached garage, officers found a running table saw and an unoccupied vehicle with its engine running and a hose between the exhaust and the back passenger window.

ASIRT says man with a wound to the left side of his neck appeared from the opposite corner of the garage holding a large butcher knife, and then there was a confrontation and an officer shot him.

“Notwithstanding their efforts, the man was pronounced deceased on scene. In rendering medical aid, it became apparent that in addition to the gunshot wound and the cut to the neck, the man had what appeared to be at least three additional stab wounds,” ASIRT said.

Deaths raise fears of overdoses among inmates

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON REMAND CENTRE

EDMONTON — Three deaths at Edmonton’s Remand Centre have raised fears of widespread fentanyl abuse.

Alberta Justice officials said Thursday there were three deaths this year at the lockup, but wouldn’t confirm they were caused by fentanyl.

“The cause of death isn’t released due to privacy considerations for the deceased and his family, or (if) the cause of death hasn’t yet been determined,” said spokesman Dan Laville in a statement.

Laville confirmed the deaths were on May 14, Sept. 1, and Sept. 9.

CBC reported unnamed sources saying the three cases were overdoses and that the centre is rife with fentanyl abuse.

Alberta Health Services says that from the end of February to the end September there were 23 sus-

pected opioid overdoses at the centre.

It said during that time 23 doses of naloxone — which blocks or reverses the effects of opioids — were administered by medical staff.

The province is making naloxone more widely available for emergency resuscitation in fentanyl overdose cases.

Alberta Liberal Leader David Swann said the remand centre deaths are a dangerous sign.

“Even in controlled environments, the number of opioid deaths in Alberta is rising. This should ring alarm bells throughout the province,” said Swann in a news release.

“I am also frustrated that Albertans are relying on the media to investigate and publish these statistics, rather than our government.

“Alberta health officials have repeatedly stated a Earlier this year, the Alberta Court of Appeal upped that sentence to 26 months.

The application to have the case heard by the Supreme Court will argue the sentence should be returned to the original four months.

Court heard the 62-year-old retired businessman had been arguing with his wife while parking his SUV in May 2013, and mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brake.

Two-year-old Geo Mounsef, who was having dinner with his parents and baby brother, was pinned against a wall and died.

Following the crash, Suter was beaten up by a mob and was later abducted from his home by three masked men and had a thumb cut off.

The Appeal Court said it took the vigilante violence into consideration but that Suter was a mature man with life experience who made a choice not to provide a breath sample to officers after the accident.

Suter testified at his sentencing hearing that he had three drinks over four hours before the crash,

Alberta BRIEFS Supreme Court will be asked to hear appeal from man who crashed into patio EDMONTON — A man who crashed his SUV onto an Edmonton restaurant patio, killing a young boy, is appealling his sentence to the Supreme Court.

Richard Suter was originally sentenced to four months in jail after pleading guilty to failing to provide a breath sample when there is a death.

public health emergency is not necessary. However, the slow drip of information and regular revelations of new problems indicate the government of Alberta does not have the grip on this crisis it says it does.”

There were 159 fentanyl-related deaths in Alberta in the first six months of this year, compared with 139 over the same time period last year.

The problem worsened last week when Karen Grimsrud, Alberta’s chief medical officer of health, confirmed that carfentanil was recently found in autopsies of two Alberta men.

Carfentanil is about 100 times more toxic than fentanyl and about 10,000 times more toxic than morphine.

The opioids, even in very small doses, can kill by reducing breathing functions to such a low level, the brain is starved of oxygen.

Mounties have confirmed a cache of carfentanil was seized earlier this year that could have yielded 50 million lethal doses. but wasn’t drunk. The sentencing judge agreed that Suter wasn’t impaired at the time and was given bad legal advice to refuse a breathalyzer test.

Trudeau stumps for Liberal byelection candidate in Tory stronghold MEDICINE HAT — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been greeted by a couple of thousand enthusiastic supporters at a byelection campaign event in Medicine Hat, known for its staunch of support of the Conservative party.

About 800 people were allowed inside the rally Thursday night for Stan Sakamoto, the Liberal candidate in the Oct. 24 byelection for Medicine Hat-Cardston-Warner.

But it was pandemonium outside the venue where an additional 1,600 people lined up around the block.

Jays feeling loose under spotlight

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista warms up during batting practice in Cleveland, Thursday, in preparation for Game 1 of baseball’s American League Championship Series. The Blue Jays will face the Cleveland Indians on Friday.

CLEVELAND — A loose bunch of Blue Jays wasted little time making some changes to their Progressive Field home away from home for the American League Championship Series with Cleveland.

With the clubhouse closed to the media during the post-season, it was up to centre-fielder Kevin Pillar to partially spill the beans.

“All of our name plates have been changed from our normal names,” Pillar said as the Toronto players met reporters in a stadium restaurant ahead of Game 1 Friday with the Indians. “I wasn’t in there during it but someone’s given everyone nicknames already.

Not the nicest of nicknames but that’s just how we are — we keep it loose, we keep it fun.

“No one is safe, whether you’re the MVP, a multiple-time all-star or the rookie sitting across. Everyone’s got free rein to say what they want and do what they want and that’s what makes the environment so fun.”

Could he reveal his nickname, Pillar was asked.

“No, no. I won’t,” he said quickly.

How about any nickname?

“No, not sharing them,” Pillar said, vigorously shaking his head.

Staying loose is nothing new for the Blue Jays, who are trying to make the most of the post-season moment after falling one game short of the World Series last season on a dramatic night in Kansas City.

“Enjoy (it),” veteran shortstop Troy

Tulowitzki said Thursday. “That’s what I try to tell all these young guys on the team. It’s not easy to get here. For it to be our second year in a row speaks volumes about the guys on this team.”

Having recovered from a 3-9 start to September, they fought their way into the playoffs, survived the wildcard hurdle and swept Texas in the AL Division Series. The Jays are feeling pretty good about themselves.

“I’d say we’re looser,” Tulowitzki said. “Just because we know the group that we have and we’re at our best when we’re loose. Our backs have been up against the wall really for a good portion of the season if you look at it. We didn’t win our division. We never went on a huge huge run the whole season. We grinded the whole way through.”

“We feel like we’re just playing with house money a little bit,” he added.

“And it’s really the way to go for us.

We have fun with it. We play better like that. And we’re trying to stay the same.”

Manager John Gibbons says his players have succeeded in doing just that.

“They haven’t changed along the way one bit. Good times, bad times. I think that’s good for a team,” he said, leaning back in his chair in a spartan visiting manager’s office that could double as a home to a prison administrator.

“I haven’t noticed one difference, to be honest with you.”

Scheifele lifts Jets to 5-4 OT win, Laine scores

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Jets 5 Hurricanes 4 (OT) WINNIPEG — Mark Scheifele scored at 2:41 of overtime as the Winnipeg Jets came back from a 4-1 third-period deficit to defeat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 on Thursday.

Scheifele took a pass from captain Blake Wheeler, who had a goal and pair of assists, and shot the puck past Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward.

Jets rookie Patrik Laine also scored his first NHL goal and added an assist.

The crowd roared when Laine, the second overall pick in this year’s NHL entry draft, scored on the power play in the third period to close Carolina’s lead to 4-3. Rookie and Hobey Baker award finalist Kyle Connor assisted on the goal.

Jets veteran Mathieu Perreault made it 4-4 at 18:31 to force three-onthree overtime, with Laine assisting on the winner.

Winnipeg free-agent signing Shawn Matthias also scored.

Jeff Skinner and Lee Stempniak each scored a goal and added an assist

for Carolina. Jordan Staal and Victor Rask also scored for the Hurricanes, who were playing the first game of a six-game road trip to open the season.

Connor Helleybuyck stopped 23 of the 27 shots he faced for Winnipeg.

Ward made 21 saves for Carolina, which scored twice on the power play.

The teams were tied 1-1 after the first period, but Carolina held a 3-1 lead heading into the final period.

Matthias scored on a sharp-angled shot from below the goal line that went in off Ward at 4:14 of the first.

Skinner replied after a Winnipeg turnover, flipping a close rebound off Hellebuyck’s pad over the goalie at 11:23.

The Jets had a two-man advantage for 1:49 in the opening period, producing shots that went off the post and one off the crossbar.

Winnipeg veteran centre Bryan Little collided with Carolina forward Bryan Bickell midway through the first period. He hobbled off the ice favouring a leg and didn’t return to the game.

Fathers ready to be counted on in third season DANNY RODE LOCAL SPORT Regan Fathers isn’t afraid of a little change.

Three years ago he took a giant step when he came from Australia to join the RDC Kings volleyball squad. This year it’s a different move as he switches from the power side to right side.

“He trained there a bit over the summer with the U23 Australian national team and he’s awfully athletic so it was a matter of putting him somewhere where he would get a whole pile of balls and the right side seems to be the place at the moment,” said Kings head coach Aaron Schulha.

“Also at the end of last year Regan wasn’t on the floor (at the nationals) and that didn’t sit well with him, so he

wanted to do whatever it took to be on the floor and contribute and this is the logical spot for him.”

The six-foot-six native of East Fremantle, Western Australia, is enjoying the move.

“It’s different … a very dynamic position for sure,” he said. “It’s different after playing volleyball for five years hitting from the left side. I definitely have different responsibilities like passing. I get to stand back and watch the other guys receive. But I also have different responsibilities on defence. I dig a lot more middle balls now as I’m closer to the net.

“But I like it … it suits me.”

There’s also a difference on the attack. He gets a lot more back row attacks and the hitting angles are different.

“Different angles for sure. I’ve been working with Schulha a lot on the angles. I’m not completely used to them yet as I’m hitting away from my body instead of across it. I also get more balls out of the back row, but it’s

good.”

There is also one more difference in the game — blocking. Instead of blocking against the right side players he’s up against the power hitters.

“I think the guys I face now are a little smarter hitters instead of just strictly power,” he said. “Plus I need different foot work in that I have to go left now instead of right. It’s just an adjustment period and I think I’m catching on quickly … I’m holding my own.”

Fathers is definitely learning quickly as he led the Kings in a 3-0 win over the Alumni with 11 kills.

He’ll be counted on again this weekend as RDC opens its regular schedule against SAIT. The teams meet today in Calgary and Saturday at RDC when the Kings raise their CCAA championship banner. The women get underway at 6 p.m., followed by the men.

Fathers changed courses this year, taking psychology and could be here for another two years. That’s up in the air.

“When I came here three years ago

>>>>

it was a last minute decision and I was here for only half a year,” he said. “It was kind of experimental and Schulha said it was my decision if I would return. I did and I’m glad I did. Red Deer has grown on me and I’ve enjoyed my time here.”

As for returning next season.

“I have a few months to decide,” he said. “I could spend all five years here which is very appealing. I also have a chance to play university and that is also appealing. So we’ll see.”

One thing is for sure he will return to Australia in the off season and likely play for the U23 team in a tournament in Tehran.

“It helps me training here with a great program and getting time to improve. I know the coaches at home like that.”

Pratt leaner, faster

ON THE ICE Where are they now

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

After joining the Red Deer Rebels in 2009, John Persson proved to be a solid addition to the Western Hockey League team.

Persson, a native of Ostersund, Sweden, played three seasons with the Rebels. He started a bit slow as a 17-year-old, playing 62 games and scoring seven goals and four assists. The following season he broke out JOHN PERSSON with 33 goals and 28 helpers in 68 games.

In the 2011-12 season he played 70 games and finished with 23 goals and 35 assists. He was drafted by the New York Islanders in the fifth round (125th overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He joined the Islanders’ organization following his final season with Red Deer and played 12 games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, scoring four times and adding four assists. He played the following three years with Bridgeport, seeing brief action with the Islanders in the 2013-14 season, playing 10 games. He scored once. Following the 2014-15 year he returned to Sweden and is in his second season with Farjestads BK Karlstad.

He had 12 goals and four assists in 52 games last season and has one assist in six games this year.

Austin Pratt made a decision last year that would affect the rest of his hockey career.

Instead of looking at a scholarship to a U.S. school, the Lakeville, Mn., native decided to take a change and move to Canada to try out for the Red Deer Rebels.

“I looked at all my options and weighed the benefits of playing in the NCAA, the USHL and here and ultimately the Western Hockey League was best for me,” he explained.

It ‘s proving to be the right decision.

After a “good” rookie season the 17-year-old is taking a regular shift this season and producing. In eight games he has two goals and three assists and a plus-two rating.

“It’s been good … I’ve been playing the way I have to and it’s working out for me lately,” he said. “It’s nice to take a regular shift, but it’s also one of those things you can’t take for granted.

Once you do it starts to slip away. I want to prove on every shift that I deserve to be out there.”

Pratt came to the Rebels after a year with the Shattuck St. Mary’s U16 team where he had 20 goals and 32 assists in 55 games. In his WHL rookie season, he played 56 games, scoring eight goals and adding four assists, and was a plus-five.

“Obviously last year I would have liked to play even more, but I also knew the strength of the team,” he said. “I knew that even when I wasn’t playing I could watch the other guys and what they do and it definitely paid off.

“Watching people like (Adam) Musil and (Michael) Spacek and the hard work they put in on and off the ice helped.”

Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter didn’t expect Pratt to play a major role last season. It was a development year.

“As it for any 16 year-old coming in it’s a big step. They have so much to learn and I think he learned a lot.

There were a lot of things he didn’t know. He had to learn to be committed to work, committed to nutrition. committed to training in the right way.

A lot of kids are like that … he was no different.”

Pratt, who was picked in the fourth round and 75th overall in the 2014 WHL bantam draft, listened to Sutter and watched and learned. During the off season he not only played for the

Goalie of the week Saskatoon Blades Logan Flodell was named the CHL goaltender of the week after posting a 2-0-0-0 record, a 0.50 goals-against-average (gaa) and a .985 save percentage. The 19-year-old native of Regina, made 31 saves in a 2-0 victory over the Prince Albert Raiders then stopped 34 shots on a 3-1 win over the Port- LOGAN FLODELL land Winterhawks.

Flodell, who came to the Blades from the Seattle Thunderbirds prior to this season, is in his third WHL campaign. In four games this season he has a 3-1-0-0 record, a 1.75 gaa and a .947 save percentage.

U.S. at the Hlinka U18 Memorial tournament (four games, one assist) but returned to Minnesota to work with a personal trainer. He also spent a day with Gary Roberts, who runs the Gary Roberts High Performance Centre and Fitness Institute in North York, Ont. “I spent a day there and pulled Gary aside and talked about my diet,” he explained. “He helped me a lot and I took that back to my trainer in Minnesota.”

The six-foot-three Pratt lost 11 pounds and returned to the Rebels at a solid 205 pounds.

“I can feel it, I’m a lot faster and quicker than last year,” he said.

“He returned lighter and stronger,” said Sutter. “His body has more definition and he’s more defined as a player … something he can build off of. It allows him to grow on the physical side and at the same time he’s a better skater and quicker.

“The thing is he listened and is very coachable through it all.”

Pratt has the skill to be a quality power forward in the WHL. He also knows the role he has to play.

“I won’t be classified as a skill guy,

Leading scorer returns to Pats lineup

Portland Winterhawks 17-year-old forward Cody Glass has been named the WHL player of the week. Glass registered eight points in four games last week, scoring three goals and adding five assists. The six-foottwo, 179-pound native of Winnipeg helped the Winterhawks to a 2-2-0-0 record for the week. He leads the WHL in both assists (11) and points (15) in eight games. He is eligible for the 2017 CODY GLASS NHL Entry Draft and is part of Central Scouting’s ‘Players To Watch’ list. He is in his second season in the league and has 14 goals and 28 assists in 76 games.

LEAFS’ FOURTH ROUND PICK FAILS TO CRACK AHL MARLIES LINEUP

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Better late than never, Regina Pats captain Adam Brooks walked through the dressing-room door on Tuesday, slipped into a practice jersey and joined his teammates on the ice.

It was almost like he never left.

“It’s really good to have him back,” said assistant coach/assistant GM Dave Struch. “For his sake we’re sorry (he didn’t turn pro), but for our sake it’s real special. You talk about a top-end leader, he’s definitely it. When you talk about building championship teams, you talk about growing everything from within. Adam is definitely that kid.”

Brooks departed four weeks ago for training camp with the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, knowing full well he’d likely be sent back to put the finishing touches on a five-year journey with the Pats.

Still, the 20-year-old centre headed for Toronto eager to make an impression — hoping it might earn him an NHL contract and a one-way ticket to join the AHL’s Toronto Marlies.

When that didn’t happen, his reaction was naturally one of mixed emotions.

“At first there’s that little bit of disappointment,” said Brooks, who flew into Regina on Tuesday after playing three AHL exhibition games over the weekend.

“You never like getting cut from a team, especially when you put a lot of work into the summer. In saying that, I’m super excited to be back here with the Pats.”

Brooks’ return is the last piece of the puzzle for one of the WHL’s most-promising teams. He’ll have a domino effect on the entire lineup,

On a roll Moose Jaw Warriors centre Brett Howden is riding a six-game point scoring streak as he arrived in Red Deer for a meeting with the Rebels tonight at the Centrium. The six-foot-one, 191-pound native of Oakbank, Man., has scored in all six games he’s played this season, accumulating six goals and four assists. Howden, who was a first-round (fifth overall) draft pick of the Warriors in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, BRETT HOWDEN was selected in the first round (27th overall) in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has 53 goals and 68 assists for 121 points in 147 career WHL games.

meaning some players who might be ready for more responsibility will have to bide their time for the greater good.

“When we go back to three years ago (at the start of the team’s rebuild), this is where we needed to be if we wanted to win and develop a real high standard of excellence for the program,” noted Struch.

ADAM BROOKS “I believe we’ve gotten here. It’s going to be difficult (for some players to adapt). They’re all going to get a little bit less ice-time because we do have that depth. It’s nice to have but we need to get better every day.”

While it’s up to the players to embrace their roles, it’s the job of the coaches to find the right balance on the ice.

Especially with the rookies.

“We can’t take those young guys and not play them; those guys have to develop,” said Struch, whose team takes a 4-0-2 record into Wednesday’s game against the visiting Portland Winterhawks. “We’ve played real good hockey to this point. Adam is going to definitely add to it. It should be exciting for all of them no matter what role they’re put into.”

Brooks welcomes the opportunity to end his WHL career on a team with high expectations. The Pats didn’t face that kind of pressure when he entered the league in 2012-13 — his first of two seasons in a limited fourth-line role.

“I’ve been here through it all,” he

noted. “I’ve been here through a lot of downs and (now) I’m seeing the up end of it. It goes back to this coaching staff and what they did when they came in. The way I’ve developed the last two seasons under them has been enormous for me and I think it kind of made up for that lost time.”

Brooks was leaned upon heavily last season when he led the league with 120 points in 72 games. That’ll surely be the case again, but he can also imagine a scenario where the team wins more games this season with him doing less.

“We have four great lines,” he said.

“This is probably going to be a year where we play four lines constantly.

Whatever situation I’m put in, I’m not going to complain about it because my goal is to help this team win. I’m excited for the opportunity to have a chance to go far in the playoffs because this is a special group.”

Much like the Pats, Brooks has come a long way in the past two years.

After being passed over twice in the NHL draft, the reward came this summer when he was selected in the fourth round by Toronto. Although he won’t officially join the Leafs’ organization until next season, he doesn’t mind waiting.

“I’m just focused on the Regina Pats and this season,” added Brooks, who hopes to pick up where he left off last spring. “I had a pretty good year. It’s tough to follow that up. Coming into this year, my goal is to try to one-up it — you try to do that every year — but right now this team is doing super well. I’m not too focused on personal achievements. My goal is to come back in here and try to help the team continue to win.”

so I have to try to use my strength and size to my advantage,” he said. “I have to play the way I know I can and try to build on that every day and at the end of the year help the team and myself.”

Pratt has already received some recognition as he was on the Central Scouting’s players to watch list.

“It’s cool to be recognized, but it’s still early and I can’t think about that yet. I have to keep working and hopefully I can climb the ranks.”

Sutter knows players do look at the fact they’re in their draft year, but they have bigger things to concentrate on.

“Sure it’s their draft year, but it’s even a bigger year in that they have to definite themselves as a player … what they are. I think that’s coming with Austin and he’s showing what he is.

“I’ve liked Austin’s game from the start. The nice thing is he can play right wing, centre, on the power play or kill penalties. He’s useful in a lot of different situations.”

BRIEFS Rebels trade for goaltender For the second time this season, the Red Deer Rebels have traded for a goalie.

With recently acquired goalie Tyson Verhelst out indefinitely with an injury, the Rebels acquired 19-year-old Lasse Petersen from the Everett Silvertips in exchange for a sixth round pick in the 2017 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft and a conditional sixth round pick in the 2020 WHL Bantam Draft.

Petersen has played 26 career WHL games with the Silvertips, Calgary Hitmen and Spokane Chiefs and has a 13-7-1 record. The six-foot two, 180 pounder was playing with Swan Valley in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. The Rebels have also reassigned 16-year-old defenceman Jacob Herauf to Sherwood Park of the Alberta Midget Hockey League.

Dodgers win, Dodgers win BEAT THE NATIONALS IN FIFTH-AND-DECIDING GAME TO FACE THE CUBS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Dodgers 4 Nationals 3 WASHINGTON (AP) — Their third-base coach made a bad decision, Max Scherzer made a bad pitch, their bullpen broke bad and in short order the Washington Nationals’ season came to a crashing halt.

‘HE’S AGGRESSIVE, AND THERE WAS TWO OUTS. … HE FEELS TERRIBLE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT DIDN’T WORK.’ - NATIONALS MANAGER DUSTY BAKER

Within the span of a half-hour, the Nationals dug a hole they couldn’t climb out of in a 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night in Game 5 of the NL Division Series. Washington lost its third consecutive playoff series on a sequence of mistakes that did nothing to change the sour October reputations of Scherzer, manager Dusty Baker and the Nationals themselves.

“It was tough to take, a tough loss,” Baker said.

“We’ve got some improvement to make and hopefully we’ll be back in the same position next year.”

For much of the night it looked like Scherzer could change the fortunes of the franchise thanks to his big-game pitching and an RBI single by unlikely clutch hitter Danny Espinosa. Then third-base coach Bob Henley inexplicably sent Jayson Werth into a no-

STORIES FROM B1

JAYS: Eager to get going Catcher Russell Martin does see a calmness and maturity growing out of the team’s experience in last year’s post-season. But he also sees a group having fun playing baseball.

“We like to make it seem bigger than what it is,” he said. “Really we’re playing the game we’ve been playing for I don’t know how long, most guys have been playing it since they were kids.”

Slugger Jose Bautista also detects excitement.

“I think everybody’s just eager to get going,” he said. “We showed up today after two days off, everybody’s giddy and excited to go out to batting practice, which is not necessarily the attitude in September when it comes to practice. I think our heads are in a good place.”

The Indians present a considerable challenge.

doubt out at the plate on a double down the left-field line by Ryan Zimmerman, ending the sixth inning.

“He’s aggressive, and there was two outs. … He feels terrible about that because it didn’t work,” Baker said of Henley. “But, you know, that wasn’t what lost the game, really.”

Just four minutes later, Scherzer served up a solo home run to Joc Pederson on his first pitch of the seventh and his 99th of the game, setting off a domino effect. The end of Scherzer’s outing was just the start of the trouble.

Baker called on five relievers — Mark Rzepczynski, Blake Treinen, Sammy Solis, Shawn Kelley and Oliver Perez — to get three outs. They eventually did so, but not before Carlos Ruiz drove in a run with a pinch-hit single and Justin Turner got two more home with a triple off the center-field wall.

The bullpen that produced Drew Storen’s infamous meltdown in NLDS Game 5 against the St. Louis Cardinals in 2012 and two losses to the San Francisco Giants in the NLDS in 2014 did the Nationals in once again. Rzepczynski got the loss after walking Yasmani Grandal, Solis allowed the single to Ruiz and Kelley the two-run triple to Turner and a 1-0 lead became a 4-1 deficit.

A two-run homer by pinch-hitter Chris Heisey in the bottom of the crazy, 66-minute seventh inning made it a one-run game woke up the sellout crowd of 43,936 that booed the announcement of the last Metro train leaving the ballpark’s station. The Nationals strained but couldn’t crack Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen, and ace Clayton Kershaw finished off the game with a two-out save, the first of his major league career.

Cleveland (94-67) won the AL Central before sweeping the Boston Red Sox. Toronto (89-73) finished as the top wild card, defeating Baltimore in a one-off before dispatching Texas in three straight.

The Indians can manufacture runs with their bats and speed, ranking fourth in the majors with 134 stolen bases (Toronto was 25th with 54). Andrew Miller and Cody Allen lead a more than capable bullpen.

Manager Terry Francona helps keep things ticking. “Seems like he does press those right buttons a lot,” said Tulowitzki.

The Jays swung for the fences, ranking fourth in the majors with 221 home runs (Cleveland was 18th with 185). Toronto’s starting rotation, meanwhile, led the AL in ERA (3.64) and opponents’ average (.236) among other categories.

In fact, the Jays were the only AL team whose starters’ ERA was under 4.00. (Cleveland was next at 4.08 despite September injuries to Danny Salazar and Carlos Carrasco).

The Jays confirmed a starting rotation of Marco Estrada, J.A. Happ, Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez.

“We feel good about any of them,”

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres have signed general manager Tim Murray to a multiyear contract extension.

The team announced the move on its Twitter account Thursday, about an hour before opening the regular season at home against the Montreal Canadiens. The team did not reveal details of the contract. The architect of the team’s rebuilding plan, Murray was entering the final season of his contract after being hired in January 2014. He replaced Darcy Regier, who was fired two months earlier.

In that time, Murray has undertaken a top-tobottom overhaul of the Sabres’ roster, purging highpriced and aging veterans. He has rebuilt the team through trades and the draft.

Etem returns to Ducks in Vancouver waiver claim ANAHEIM, Calif. — Forward Emerson Etem is returning to the Anaheim Ducks.

The Ducks claimed their former first-round pick off waivers from Vancouver on Thursday.

Etem also is a Long Beach, California, native.

He was drafted by Anaheim in 2010, and he debuted for the Ducks during the 2012-13 season.

He scored 31 points in 112 regular-season games for Anaheim, adding eight points in 23 playoff games.

But after three seasons of inconsistent play, Etem was traded to the Rangers in a deal for Carl Hagelin in June 2015. New York then traded Etem to Vancouver in January, and he scored 12 points in 39 games for the Canucks. Etem agreed to a one-year contract worth $775,000 in June.

Injured N.S. hockey player ‘improving’ police continue probe of rough game TRENTON, N.S. — A Nova Scotia hockey player badly injured during a rough game has brain bleeds and swelling and won’t be able to return to university until the new year, his team says.

Luke Spicer, 18, has been released from hospital after an on-ice incident Sunday during a game between his Pictou County Scotians and the Glace Bay Junior Miners that has prompted a police investigation.

“He is improving every day but has a long road ahead of him,” the junior B team said in a Facebook post late Wednesday.

The team said he has two brain bleeds and swelling and bruising of the brain, as well as lip and mouth injuries and a shoulder sprain.

Gibbons said of his starters.

Estrada (9-0, 3.48 ERA) faces righthander Corey Kluber (18-9, 3.41 ERA) to open the series.

Gibbons says second baseman Devon Travis, who has been nursing a sore knee, is feeling fine.

But Toronto has a decision to make on pitcher Francisco Liriano, who is eligible to return for Game 2 Saturday under Major League Baseball’s concussion protocol. The Jays cannot replace Liriano before then if they want to use him in the series, which means going with 24 Friday.

They planned further tests on Liriano before announcing their roster Friday morning.

“If all is well, he should be good to go,” said Gibbons.

The Indians won four of the seven meetings between the two this season.

“They were incredible, incredible games,” said Jays president Mark Shapiro, who spent 24 seasons with the Indians prior to joining Toronto. “Our series against them were tough, hardfought, close battles. And so I guess if I have to guess, it’s going to be a tough series. Two very different but evenly matched teams.”

Both Cleveland and Toronto have

won their last six games.

JETS: Wheeler got comeback started Matthias factored in on another goal, but for the wrong reasons. While he was off for hooking, Stempniak, a former Jet, scored on the power play at 4:47 of the second to take the 2-1 lead.

Stempniak, in his 12th NHL season, was a free-agent signing by Carolina.

The Jets had their fourth power play of the game late in the second, but came up empty again.

Staal made it 3-1 with 31 seconds left in the period on an unassisted goal after Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien was taken out of the play when he got into a tug for his stick with Hurricane Viktor Stalberg.

Carolina was outshooting Winnipeg 21-13 heading into the third period.

Rask made it 4-1 for Hurricanes with a power-play goal at 5:02, but nine seconds later Wheeler took advantage of a turnover and fired a short-handed shot past Ward to get the comeback started.

Reconstructing a record setting debut MATTHEWS SCORED FOUR GOALS IN FIRST NHL GAME

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Auston Matthews checked his phone before his NHL debut and came across text messages from former teammates. It wasn’t exactly encouragement. Matthews was in their fantasy hockey lineups and a big game would sure be nice, they said.

“So hopefully I did alright,” the 19-year-old said with a grin a day later.

Fantasy hockey owners would indeed be proud. Matthews became the first player in NHL history to score four goals in his NHL debut, hitting the record against the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night. He scored on each of his first three NHL shots, setting the historic mark with three seconds to go in the second period.

“He’s going to have great nights down the road,” Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly said on Thursday. “But this one will be one that he’ll remember for a long time.”

It took less than 10 minutes for Matthews, the first player picked No. 1 overall by the Leafs in 31 years, to find the back of the net.

The play started with two nifty dekes by 20-year-old William Nylander just inside the Ottawa zone. He danced around Senators defenceman Mark Borowiecki and then flung a pass into the middle for Matthews, his shot attempt squirting just wide of the goal. It was eventually claimed behind the net

by Zach Hyman, the third member of Toronto’s all-rookie line.

“I tried to just pick it up and I saw Auston and I just threw it back in front and he was there,” Hyman recounted a day later.

Matthews quickly fired a shot past Anderson steps outside the crease, Senators defender Chris Wideman just a second late in tying him up.

After Ottawa scored twice in less than two minutes to vault in front 2-1, Matthews struck again on the most eye-catching goal of the evening.

Hyman took the action in from steps away like an astounded fan.

“There’s so many little things on that play that I think most guys can’t do and he did it all in one play,” the 24-year-old Hyman said. “The puck was in the net pretty quick.”

Matthews gained control of it in the neutral zone, slipping it through the legs of a helpless Mike Hoffman. He whirled into the offensive zone and lost of control of the puck briefly, Senators captain Erik Karlsson temporarily taking hold of it along the boards.

Undeterred, Matthews dodged a check from Hoffman and before Karlsson, a former Norris Trophy winner, had a chance to make a play, lifted his stick, swiped the puck back and attacked the crease.

Perhaps missed on first glance was

the slight whack Matthews gave Karlsson on the left leg, an attempt to make the defenceman think he was coming from the left instead of the right.

He then got a quick shot under Anderson’s glove just seconds before Marc Methot could drop to the ice and break up the play.

“Just a couple puck battles,” Matthews said humbly of the play. “I think I was able to sneak by my check there and catch Karlsson off-guard and (then) was able to just pick the puck, go in and slide it five-hole there.”

Watching it unfold Hyman thought: “He’s a good player.”

Matthews became the third player in the modern era to notch a hat trick in his NHL debut one minute and 25 seconds into the middle frame.

Rielly instigated the action, veering into the offensive zone with speed before he was steered into the left corner

by Ottawa’s defence. He nonetheless managed to thread a pass through a sea of skates to Matthews, wide open in the right faceoff circle.

Rielly said he knew Matthews was there the whole time and was only able to get the pass through all that interference because of his teammate’s positioning.

“He changed his speed and he went into a good spot where I was able to get it to him,” Rielly said. “If he had just driven the net like most guys do I don’t think it would’ve worked. But he stopped up and he made his blade available and that’s what happened.”

Matthews’ fourth and fifth shot attempts were denied, but it was evident a fourth goal was coming and indeed it arrived in the waning moments of the second period.

With 9.7 seconds left and the score tied 3-3, Jake Gardiner lofted an outlet from the Toronto zone past a leaping Brassard. Matthews snatched it up near centre-ice, found Nylander and then took off to the front of the net.

Nylander slid a pass just under the stick of Wideman, the only defenceman back for Ottawa.

“I just put it there and then he put it in,” Nylander said simply of the play.

It was the finishing touch on history.

His performance prompted NBCSN to add Matthews’ home debut on Saturday night versus the Boston Bruins to their broadcast schedule.

Matthews said he would give the four pucks from his debut to his mother, Ema, for keepsake. She would do something nice to commemorate the evening.

“I think just playing in your first NHL game you know it’s going to be a special night,” said Matthews, already looking ahead to Saturday’s home opener against Boston. “Just going out and there and getting your first taste of the NHL and living your dream right there it’s pretty special.”

Toronto Maple Leafs centre Auston Matthews celebrates a first period goal with teammate William Nylander during NHL hockey action in Ottawa.

Matthew’s NHL debut among the best in League history Auston Matthews became the first player in NHL history to score four goals in his regular-season debut as the Toronto Maple Leafs fell 5-4 to the Ottawa Senators in overtime on Wednesday night.

Matthews is the fifth player in NHL history to score a hat trick in his regular-season debut and the first in Maple Leafs history.

The 19-year-old Matthews was drafted first overall in the 2016 draft and was Toronto’s first No. 1 selection since Wendel Clark in 1985.

He’s one of several players to have memorable debuts in the NHL. Here’s how five other superstars fared in their first career NHL game.

Alex Ovechkin — The No. 1 pick from the 2004 NHL draft was the first Washington Capitals player to score twice in his first NHL game, a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 5, 2005. Ovechkin would score 52 times in his rookie season and captured the Calder Trophy at season’s end.

Sidney Crosby — The ultra-hyped superstar recorded an assist in his NHL debut on Oct. 5, 2005 — a 5-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils. Crosby, who was picked No. 1 overall in the 2005 draft, was a minus-two rating in his debut, recording three shots and logging 15:50 in ice time.

The Cole Harbour, N.S., native would find the back of the net in his

third game against Boston and finished the season with 39 goals and 102 points.

Wayne Gretzky — One of the greatest players of all time made his NHL debut on Oct. 10, 1979 and recorded an assist in a 4-2 road loss for the Edmonton Oilers against the Chicago Blackhawks. The goal, scored by Kevin Lowe, was the first for Edmonton in the NHL after it joined the league from the World Hockey Association. Gretzky had his first NHL goal in his third game and finished the year with 51 goals and 137 points.

Mario Lemieux — Like Matthews, Lemieux scored in his NHL debut on Oct. 11, 1984 on his first shift of the game. The Penguins legend would add an assist, although Pittsburgh fell 4-3 to the Boston Bruins.

Lemieux was the No. 1 pick in the 1984 draft and finished his rookie season with 43 goals and 100 points.

Connor McDavid — The now-Edmonton Oilers captain had two shots in his debut last fall against the St. Louis Blues, but failed to record a point. The No. 1 pick in the 2015 NHL draft logged 18:07 in his first game throughout 22 shifts and was a minus-one rating. A shoulder injury sidelined McDavid for a large portion of his inaugural season, but he finished with 16 goals and 48 points in 45 games.

When McDavid heard about Matthews’ outburst on Wednesday night he said, “I think in my first game I touched the puck four times, so it was a little bit of a different night for us on our opening nights … I don’t know what happened, he just seemed to explode, I guess.”

Kings put star Quick on injured reserve ZATKOFF CALLED UP

Piercy sets course record at Silverado, takes lead

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NAPA, Calif. — Scott Piercy began the new PGA Tour season by pouring in putts and setting the course record at Silverado, a 10-under 62 for a twoshot lead Thursday in the Safeway Open.

Conditions were practically perfect in the morning, and Piercy took advantage. He made 12 birdies, only three of them from inside 10 feet, and he even missed a pair of birdie chances from inside eight feet.

He wasn’t alone in attacking Silverado.

Paul Casey, coming off a pair of runner-up finishes in the FedEx Cup playoffs that signalled a return to form, birdied his last three holes for a 64. Patton Kizzire also shot a 64.

Jon Rahm of Spain, who earned his PGA Tour card from sponsor exemptions last season after wrapping up his college career at Arizona State, began his PGA Tour career as a member in fine fashion. He made a hole-in-one — the first one of his life — on his second hole, the par-3 11th. His 7-iron from 173 yards flew straight into the cup.

“Very special moment,” Rahm said. “It was hard to believe. I actually thought it hit inside the hole and bounced out.”

Phil Mickelson, playing a domestic PGA Tour event in the fall for the first time in a decade, played in the afternoon and made the turn in 1 under.

Mickelson and Casey have had the best calendar years without winning based on the world ranking points they have earned. Mickelson is playing his final tournament of 2016, while Casey plans to play the next two in Asia before taking off the rest of the year.

Piercy, at least on paper, had one of his better years. He earned $2.9 million. He had a chance to win a major at the U.S. Open until Dustin Johnson pulled away at Oakmont, and Johnson beat him by one shot at a World Golf Championship.

But those runner-up finishes in big events covered up an atrocious year with the putter. Piercy was 156th in the most important putting statistic, which is what held him back most of the year.

It’s what carried him on Thursday. He holed a pair of 18-foot birdie putts on successive holes early in his round, and kept pouring them in, one after another, to offset a pair of bogeys from the bunkers on the par-4 third hole and the par-3 seventh late in his round.

“I think I made more feet of putts than I did all last season,” he said. “I’ve been working on the putter a lot and trying to get some things figured out.

Today was a good start to the season, good start to get some confidence going with the putter.”

His power has always been there, and he showed that on the par-5 fifth hole when he blasted a drive over the trees along the line of the cart path, back to the fairway on the dogleg right.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — The Los Angeles Kings placed Jonathan Quick on injured reserve Thursday after the star goalie got hurt in the first period of their season opener.

Quick incurred an unspecified lower-body injury during Los Angeles’ opener at San Jose while making a fairly ordinary stretch to stop a scoring chance

by Joe Pavelski. Quick was replaced by new backup Jeff Zatkoff for the final two periods of the Kings’ 2-1 loss.

The Kings described Quick’s absence as “week-toweek.”

Los Angeles’ home opener is Friday night against Philadelphia. The Kings didn’t immediately make a corresponding move, but NHL veteran Peter Budaj is on the roster of the Kings’ AHL affiliate in Ontario.

With Quick sidelined by a potentially serious injury, the Kings’ 50th anniversary season has been thrown into turmoil after just one game. The unorthodox, athletic American goalie is exceptionally important to the Kings, playing in 140 of their 162 regular-season games over the past two seasons.

Quick has backstopped the Kings to two Stanley Cup titles and won the 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy as the post-season MVP. He won the Jennings Trophy in 2014, and was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy in 2012 and again last season.

Quick also is a two-time U.S. Olympian who played at the World Cup of Hockey last month, although he claimed that his early start to the season didn’t affect his preparations for the Kings.

Zatkoff was a third-round draft pick by the Kings in 2006, and he spent four seasons in their minor-league system without ever cracking the NHL lineup. He signed with Pittsburgh in 2012, and he won a Stanley Cup ring last summer after starting two playoff games for the Penguins on the way to the title.

Zatkoff, the former college roommate of Kings defenceman Alec Martinez, re-signed with Los Angeles in July, and he won a training camp competition with Budaj and Jack Campbell for the backup job behind Quick. Budaj, a Slovak veteran who spent nine NHL seasons with Colorado and Montreal, and Campbell are both with the Ontario Reign.

The Kings’ backup goalies have excelled in recent years, at least partly due to coach Darryl Sutter’s mandates for puck possession-based hockey, tight checking and sturdy defensive play by every skater.

Martin Jones matched an NHL record by winning his first eight NHL starts in late 2013 while Quick was sidelined for seven weeks with a serious groin strain. Jones won a Stanley Cup ring as Quick’s backup later that season before moving to the Sharks last season and reaching the Stanley Cup Final again.

Guru offers peek into work

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

ECONOMIC ADVISORY COUNCIL

OTTAWA — The global expert who heads the Trudeau government’s economic advisory council has offered a glimpse into the group’s brainstorming sessions on how best to lift Canada’s drooping growth prospects.

Dominic Barton shared details of the team’s focal points during his appearance this week at a public policy summit in Ottawa. They include easing immigration rules to attract more talent, retraining swaths of the workforce to adjust to the rapid rise in automation and creating what he calls the world’s first infrastructure agency designed to rake in private and foreign capital.

The influential 14-member group, which has the prime minister’s ear, will zero in on a handful of concrete ideas that will be rolled out a few at a time, Barton said.

Above all, he said the concepts will be ambitious and the results will be tangible.

Unless, of course, some of the ideas flop.

“We will know very clearly whether they’re in or out, and whether we’ve failed,” said Barton, a Canadian who is the global managing director of consulting giant McKinsey & Co. “It’s going to be very clear. It will either be exciting or very embarrassing.”

Barton, a sought-after expert who has advised governments and corporate leaders around the world, was hand-picked by the Liberals to help revive the economy. He chairs a council of advisers with backgrounds in business and academia.

His remarks Wednesday didn’t lay out many specific proposals, but they did shed considerable light on where the group has been digging — as well as the general direction it hopes to go.

Barton told the Public Policy Forum in Ottawa not to expect the council, which has pored over reams of research, to come up with a “new silver bullet.”

Instead, he said Canadians should anticipate “bold implementation” of existing ideas that aim to

East Coast homeowners await word from governments As Cape Breton and Newfoundland residents begin the unfamiliar work of struggling to recover from flooding damage brought by torrential Thanksgiving rainfall, the hope is that charities, governments and insurance companies will move quickly.

“This is all new to us and I’m hoping they’re going to be on the ball and help will come quickly,” said Tracey Drew of Morrisville, N.L. While homeowners like Drew anxiously await word on financial aid from official sources, it’s largely neighbours who have helped start the backbreaking work of cleaning and disinfecting damaged floors, hefting ruined appliances onto lawns and — off the south coast of Newfoundland — using small motorboats to run a noose around a beached building and tow it back home.

For Drew, the kindness of friends help buoy her spirits amidst a personal disaster that began with a terrifying rush of water in the middle of Monday night.

More than 200 millimetres of rain sent cascades of water rushing down hills, pouring into foundations and destroying basements and ground floors in a matter of hours when the remnants of Hurricane Matthew collided with colder air from another weather system.

Like many others hit by the storm, the 47-year-old mail carrier says she couldn’t afford extensive insurance coverage to deal with a flooding disaster she never anticipated.

“Surrounding communities have really stepped up and are helping us significantly … (friends) came at 8 a.m. this morning and in a few hours they’ve completed gutted my basement,” she said.

As she spoke, men from the neighbouring town of Milltown were power spraying a coating of mud off the floor and heaving rubbish onto her lawn.

The day before, boats from the First Nations community of Conne River had brought loads of water

and food across the bay. That was also the day that six Conne River residents fastened old ocean buoys to the errant shed and then gently guided it two kilometres back to Morrisville.

In both Cape Breton and Newfoundland, homeowners said help is needed quickly as temperatures start to fall and the season for repairs shortens.

Mel Bryden, 62, of Reserve Mines, N.S., was stunned on Monday evening when his usually dry street near Glace Bay filled with waist-deep water in a matter of hours.

He says he’s trying to get an insurance adjuster to assess what he believes will easily be $100,000 in damage.

“We lost everything. We lost our furnace, our furniture, our fridge … everything,” he said in a telephone interview.

Bryden says he has a respiratory illness affected by dampness and urgently needs to find a new place to live.

“The trouble is to find people to help you and look after you from the insurance companies.

There’s just not enough adjusters,” he said.

“It’s complete devastation. There’s 70 homes on our street and I don’t think there’s one that didn’t get hit. … This is things we’ve seen in New Orleans and never expected it in Cape Breton.”

Newfoundland Premier Dwight Ball — who has been on the road for two days visiting affected communities — said in a telephone interview that his province has already tallied up at least $10 million in damage to provincial roads and infrastructure and has yet to determine the bills within the towns themselves.

“Time is not on our side. We’re in the middle of October and we realize there is a winter coming and we have a lot of work to get done … as we start preparing the province for the upcoming winter,” he said during a telephone interview.

He estimated there are “hundreds” of homes damaged in his province.

BRIEFS Woman threw bucket of vomit at Guelph, Ont., paramedics, police allege GUELPH, Ont. — Police say paramedics in Guelph, Ont., were allegedly assaulted by a woman armed with a bucket of vomit.

They allege a 22-year-old woman become upset with the paramedic crew and threw a bucket of vomit at them on Tuesday.

Investigators say it missed the crew but soaked some medical equipment, damaging it.

A Guelph woman was arrested at the scene and is charged with mischief over $5,000 and assault with a weapon.

Patricia Pegalo is to appear in court on Nov. 25.

Toronto cops tout ‘largest single seizure’ of powder cocaine in city’s history Toronto police say they have seized more than 90 kilograms of drugs in what they are calling the largest single seizure of powder cocaine in the force’s history.

Officers who searched an east-end home and vehicle Wednesday allegedly found 73 kilograms of cocaine, 12 kilograms of crystal meth and eight kilograms of MDMA. Police allege a criminal organization was importing and distributing cocaine in Toronto and nearby municipalities.

Nicholas Shouldice, 32, of Toronto, is charged with five counts of drug possession for the purpose of trafficking.

He was due to appear in court Thursday.

Police say he did not have a criminal record.

Senior charged with murder found to be a risk before attack

FALL

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14 TO THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2016

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A Toronto senior accused of murdering a fellow resident in a long-term care home and injuring another was deemed a “chronic risk” to his frail colleagues a year before a deadly attack at the facility, a psychiatrist told his trial on Thursday.

Peter Brooks has pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder of 72-year-old Jocelyn Dickson and the attempted murder of 91-year-old Lourdes Missier.

Crown prosecutors have told jurors that late one night in March 2013, the now 72-year-old Brooks used his cane to attack Dickson and Missier in their beds at the Wexford Residence in Toronto’s east end.

The jury has heard that Brooks allegedly swung his cane at Missier’s head first, but the woman, who was awake at the time, raised her hands to protect herself and screamed, attracting the attention of staff who rushed in. She was left with fractured fingers, bruises and lacerations on her face, the Crown has said.

While staff were responding to what had happened to Missier, Brooks quietly made his way to another floor, where Dickson, a woman who was paralysed on one side of her body, was asleep in her bad, the Crown said.

Using his cane once more, Brooks delivered at least seven distinct blows to Dickson’s head causing “massive” injuries that led to the woman’s death, the Crown has said. The force of the blows was strong enough to break off the top of Brooks’ cane, prosecutors said.

But even before the incidents that took place that night, “bad relationships and bad feelings” existed between Brooks and certain residents at the facility, the jury has heard.

On Thursday, Dr. Stephen Barsky, an expert in geriatric psychiatry, told the trial he assessed Brooks in April 2012 after receiving reports of three incidents of aggression by the man against other residents at the home.

“He was somewhat irritable, he was a bit sarcastic, he wasn’t fully co-operative, which made the interview process somewhat difficult,” Barsky said of his time with Brooks. “I did have concerns about his level of judgment.”

Brooks appeared “disinhibited” and blamed the victims of his acts of aggression, saying they had annoyed him in some way before he took an action “in excess of what would certainly be warranted,” Barsky said.

“I felt that he might present a chronic risk to prey on residents within a facility,” he said, noting that he didn’t think Brooks had been an imminent risk at the time.”

“I felt Mr. Brooks would be a better candidate for placement elsewhere, such as in a psychiatric group home where there might not be other frail elderly people he could prey on.”

“jolt” the system.

Barton said he has confidence in Canada’s prospects to boost its growth, as long as it takes advantage in several key areas and addresses some imposing challenges facing the economy.

The biggest headwind, he warned, is the country’s swiftly aging population.

The size of a workforce is a critical driver of economic productivity, Barton said. Canada has seen, on average, GDP growth of about 3.1 per cent over the last 50 years — growth Barton said could fall to 1.5 per cent if nothing is done.

“Demographics are pretty reliable to look at — these are not just some forecasts,” Barton said. “It’s a call to action.”

To respond, the council is looking at ways to take advantage of a national trait he described as unique to Canada: its openness to immigration.

He said he doesn’t take that openness for granted, but stressed it’s something on which council members feel Canada needs to “double down” if it wants to attract highly skilled talent, particularly young people.

Ministers talk pot legalization, aboriginal inquiry

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Top court to hear B.C. native land case that predates Confederation

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — A British Columbia land-claims case that predates Confederation will be heard in the Supreme Court of Canada.

The court agreed Thursday to hear the case of the Williams Lake Indian Band, which claims the pre-Confederation colony of British Columbia and later the government of Canada failed in their legal obligations to prevent settlers from occupying village lands.

Williams Lake, with a population of about 11,000, is in central B.C., about 550 kilometres north of Vancouver.

The band is claiming village lands at the foot of Williams Lake, which includes the city’s downtown core and its stampede grounds, where a major rodeo has been held for more than 90 years.

The band is not seeking aboriginal title to the disputed lands, but it does want compensation.

It has argued the colony failed to protect the bands land from being overtaken by settlers, and failed to recover the land that was unlawfully taken.

Band Chief Ann Louie said Thursday that Canada continued to allow settlers to build on the village lands after B.C. joined Confederation in 1871.

Louie said successive band leaders and chiefs sought to resolve the land issue, arguing the colony of B.C. and Canada failed to enforce policies and laws when it came to protecting the band’s village lands.

The band won a victory at the federal Specific Claims Tribunal in 2014.

Canada’s humane societies complain of being short-changed by governments

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The long-suffering agencies that look after animal welfare in Canada say they are being kept cooped up by a lack of government support — forcing individual donors to take up the slack.

A new report from the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies says 45 per cent of the $187.8 million in revenue collected by member agencies in 2014 came from donations — with 85 of those donations coming from individuals.

The report says that while more than 40 per cent of humane societies and SPCAs are empowered to enforce provincial and federal animal protection and cruelty legislation, less than half their costs are covered by governments.

Of the government money that goes to humane societies, two-thirds comes from municipalities, with the federal government contributing just one per cent.

The report says the country’s 125 humane societies and SPCAs employ about 2,000 people who are supported by about 26,000 volunteers.

In 2014, those groups spent $118.4 million to care for more than 278,000 animals.

That same year, the report said, municipalities

contributed $25.6 million, provinces kicked in about $13 million and the federal government provided a paltry $271,000.

“We see clearly that financial support from provincial and federal levels of government is inadequate,” the report said.

As a result, agencies have to devote significant resources to fundraising, diverting money from the primary goal of sheltering and protecting animals and working on public education.

“The result is that the responsibility of protecting animals in Canadian society is falling mainly to individual donors and the charities they support.”

In 2014, the agencies spent an estimated $10.8 million on animal protection or cruelty enforcement, but recouped only $4.5 million in government funding.

The societies said animal welfare, protection and enforcement tie into a variety of public safety issues and should be a shared responsibility, especially since there are clear links between animal abuse and other forms of violence.

“The creation of a humane Canada depends upon a strong animal protection sector, a committed public and an engaged government,” the report concludes.

HALIFAX — The inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women and the way forward on legalizing marijuana are on the agenda for justice and public ministers meeting with their federal counterparts in Halifax, Ralph Goodale said Thursday.

As he headed into the two-day gathering, the federal public safety minister said the review process on implementing Ottawa’s plan to legalize marijuana was going well but in the early stages.

“It’s making really good progress…and I think all ministers will be anxious to see the outcome of that process,” Goodale said. “There’s a great deal of consensus, but this is still in the process of gathering input…but the mood around the table is excellent.”

Anne McLellan, health and justice minister in Jean Chretien’s Liberal government, is leading the review and is expected to produce a report by the end of the year.

The ministers will also likely get an update on the national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, launched by the federal government and due to take about two years at a cost of at least $53.8 million.

Independent commissioners will provide concrete recommendations to federal, provincial and territorial governments about how to deal with the disproportionate rates of violence and crime against Canada’s indigenous women and girls.

Andrew Parsons, justice minister for Newfoundland and Labrador, said he was also hoping to discuss an initiative being tried in Ontario and the Yukon to help victims of sexual assault navigate the legal system.

Parsons says he wants to look at having legal support in place for victims from the time they give statements to when they testify on the stand, and said he’s consulting with officials in Ontario to get it off the ground in his province.

“Many victims of sexual assault, when they get in the system, they feel adrift,” he said on his way into the meeting. “In many ways, they feel alone and we’d like to be able to do more to assist them.”

Parsons said the ministers, who last met in January, will also discuss delays in the court system after an Edmonton judge recently stayed a first-degree murder charge because it took more than five years to get to trial.

Dylan wins Nobel in literature

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Bob Dylan, Nobel laureate. In the book world’s equivalent of a Supreme Court ruling, the Nobel judges declared Thursday that Dylan is not just a rock star but a poet of the very highest order.

Dylan, 75, becomes the first musician in the 115-year history of the Nobel to win the prize in literature. He was honoured for “having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”

It is the ultimate ascension for the man who set off a lasting debate over whether lyrics, especially rock lyrics, can be regarded as art. Dylan, who gave the world Like a Rolling Stone, Blowin’ in the Wind and dozens of other standards, now finds himself on a list that includes Samuel Beckett, Toni Morrison and T.S. Eliot, whom Dylan referred to in his epic song Desolation Row. “Congratulations to one of my favourite poets, Bob Dylan, on a well-deserved Nobel,” tweeted President Barack Obama, who in 2012 presented the singer-songwriter with a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Dylan rarely gives interviews, and a representative said the star had no immediate comment. He is on tour and was scheduled to play in Las Vegas on Thursday night.

The startling announcement out of Stockholm was met with both euphoria and dismay.

Many fans already quote Dylan as if he were Shakespeare, there are entire college courses and scholarly volumes devoted to his songs, and judges work Dylan quotations into their legal opinions all the time, such as “The times they are a-changing” and “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”

With this year’s Nobel announcement, many people, especially Americans, weren’t scratching their heads and asking “Who?!” the way they did after hearing the names of such winners as Patrick Modiano and J.M.G. Le Clezio.

Others, though, lamented a lost moment for books.

“An ill-conceived nostalgia award wrenched from the rancid prostates of senile, gibbering hippies,” wrote Trainspotting novelist Irvine Welsh. “I totally get the Nobel committee,” tweeted author Gary Shteyngart. “Reading books is hard.” The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano said some “real writers” probably aren’t pleased.

But several leading authors praised the news.

Nobel laureate Toni Morrison said in a statement that she was pleased and that Dylan was “an impressive choice.” Salman Rushdie, who has written songs with U2’s Bono, tweeted that Dylan is “the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition. Great choice.” Perennial Nobel candidate Joyce Carol Oates tweet-

ed that “his haunting music & lyrics have always seemed, in the deepest sense, literary.”

Dylan’s award also was welcomed by a venerable literary organization, the Academy of American Poets.

“Bob Dylan receiving the Nobel Prize in literature acknowledges the importance of literature’s oral tradition, and the fact that literature and poetry exists in culture in multiple modes,” executive director Jennifer Benka said in a statement.

Critics can argue whether Visions of Johanna is as literary as Waiting for Godot, but Dylan’s stature among musicians is unchallenged. He is the most influential songwriter of his time, who brought a new depth, range and complexity to rock lyrics and freed Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell and countless other artists to break out from the once-narrow boundaries of love and dance songs.

Dylan already was the only rock star to receive a Pulitzer Prize (an honorary one), and is, in fact, an author, too: He was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle prize for his memoir, Chronicles: Volume One. He is the first American to win the Nobel literature prize since Morrison in 1993, and his award probably hurts the chances of such older American writers as Philip Roth and Don DeLillo, since the Nobel judges try to spread the honours around.

World’s longestreigning monarch dies BANGKOK — King Bhumibol Adulyadej, revered in Thailand as a demigod, a humble father figure and an anchor of stability through decades of upheaval at home and abroad, died Thursday.

He was 88 and had been the world’s longest reigning monarch.

The Royal Palace said Bhumibol died “in a peaceful state” at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, where he had been treated for various health problems for most of the past decade.

During a reign that spanned 70 years, Bhumibol became much more than Thailand’s constitutional monarch.

He was the nation’s one constant as governments rose and fell, a gentle leader who used his influence to unify the nation and rally troops through the Cold War as Thailand’s neighbours fell under communist control. In his heyday, the frail-looking, soft-spoken man in spectacles wielded so much power and respect he was able to squelch coups and rebellions with a gesture or a few well-chosen words.

Bhumibol was viewed by many in the majority Buddhist nation as a bodhisattva, or holy being who delays entering nirvana to aid the human race. But while junta leaders, prime ministers and courtiers approached him only on their knees, Bhumibol was remarkably down-toearth. He hiked into impoverished villages and remote rice paddies to assess the state of his country.

Peace is top priority for next UN chief Antonio Guterres Antonio Guterres pledged Thursday to make the pursuit of peace in a conflict-torn world his “over-arching priority” after being elected the next secretary-general of the United Nations.

The former Portuguese prime minister and UN refugee chief told the 193 members of the UN General Assembly who elected him by acclamation that the United Nations has “the moral duty and the universal right” to ensure peace — and he will be promoting a new “diplomacy for peace” advocating dialogue to settle disputes.

Boats depart the Ryabaga Camp on Russia’s Ponoi River, one of the world’s most celebrated Atlantic salmon fisheries. A prime week here can cost more than $15,000 per person.

SALMON

The angling appeal of IN REMOTE RUSSIA, YOU CAN CATCH HUGE FISH 40 TIMES IN A WEEK. A LUCKY FEW EXPERIENCE THE “SPORT OF KINGS” — AT $15,000 A WEEK, OR MORE — ON THE KOLA PENINSULA.

BY CHRIS SANTELLA ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES The legend “Stairway to Heaven” is carved into the steep steps that lead from the helicopter landing area on the tundra to the Ryabaga Camp on Russia’s Ponoi River, one of the world’s most celebrated Atlantic salmon fisheries. The scene as you descend the stairway is inspiring — steep, birch-blanketed banks slant down to a wide ribbon of blue that bends out of view in the distance. The red roofs of the camp poke up from the valley below. This slice of heaven comes at a rather lofty price — prime weeks can eclipse $15,000 per person, and that’s before one has travelled to Murmansk.

Yet, a large percentage of guests are return visitors, having trekked to this remote region of northwestern Russia’s Kola Peninsula 20, 30, even 50 times.

The angling appeal of Atlantic salmon dates back hundreds of years and was popularized at least in part by British royals, who plied the rivers of Scotland for the silvery game fish. This helped earn the pastime the moniker “sport of kings.” Nobles in Norway also fished for Salmo salar, its scientific name.

Atlantic-salmon angling has always had more than a sniff of exclusivity about it, though most who do it will insist that the appeal goes beyond snobbery. Born in the river, Atlantic salmon spend several years in fresh water before heading to the north Atlantic, where they feed and grow for one to three years before returning to their natal river to spawn and either die or return to the sea for another cycle. Fish don’t feed upon reaching the river, but they can be enticed to take a fly, possibly out of curiosity or territorial aggression. (No salmon has ever spoken on the record to reveal its motives.) Once hooked, Atlantic salmon are prone to tremendous leaps and powerful cross-river runs, enough to leave a lucky angler shaking with joy and wonder.

An angler, flanked by his guide, holds up his catch before releasing it back into the river. The fish are carefully noted and tagged before their release so that scientists can monitor the health of the salmon population.

Atlantic salmon can eclipse 23 kg on some rivers, though fish between 3.6 kg and nine kg are more common. Capable anglers casting flies for a week on the Miramichi in New Brunswick or the Tweed in Scotland could expect to hook a handful of fish. The sport’s challenge is part of its charm.

By the 1980s, returns of Atlantic salmon had gone into steep decline in Britain and Canada, thanks to up-

STORIES FROM PAGE C1

SALMON: Averaged 40 per angler Here, at peak times of the run, anglers could anticipate eight or 10 fish in a day — and sometimes more. Numbers like these continue to draw anglers to the Ryabaga Camp on the Ponoi, though the spirit of the camp seems to keep people coming back.

The camp has come a long way since it was first carved out of the forest at the confluence of the Ryabaga and Ponoi rivers in 1991. Tidy cabins with en suite bathrooms and electric heat have replaced canvas tents warmed with wood-burning stoves; four-stroke, 60-horsepower Mercury outboards have supplanted the Russian-made engines that were maddeningly prone to breaking down. But given that Ryabaga rests 300 kilometers from the nearest road, the only way in from Murmansk is by Mi-8 helicopter.

Perhaps better suited for transporting goods than people, the Mi-8 is not the world’s most comfortable conveyance . . . but the creature comforts drastically improve after the two-hour flight. Cocktails and meals are taken in the “Big Tent,” a canvas Quonset hut that’s heated with potbelly stoves and equipped with a full bar and a fly shop in case guests have overlooked any fishing gear. There’s a nicely appointed sauna on the premises (and a more rustic banya favoured by the camp’s fishing guides), a massage therapist and a staff of 40 (for up to 20 guests) that includes mechanics, guides, and kitchen and camp staff — all the personnel necessary to keep what amounts to a small village running in the middle of the tundra.

Much of the staff is Russian, though there are a smattering of guides from Argentina, Ireland and Scotland, heightening Ryabaga’s international flavour.

The fishing day begins with a hearty breakfast of eggs to order, fresh pastries and oatmeal in the Big Tent. By 8:45, guests slip into their waders, and ATVs arrive to spirit them to the boats, where guides await. (This door-to-boat service can greatly extend one’s salmon-fishing career; one guest during my visit, who had wonderful results, was in her mid-70s and had an artificial leg.) A guide and the anglers (two to a boat) then speed off to one of 10 “beats” (sections of river). The Ponoi River Company, which operates Ryabaga Camp, has exclusive rights to 75 kilometers of the lower Ponoi; guests will not encounter any anglers beyond other Ryabaga guests in the course of their week. The Ponoi is a large river, in some places more than 200 meters wide. To reach the best lies, much of the casting is done from the boat. Two-handed spey rods, which enable longer casts with less effort, are the favoured weapons; fly patterns in orange are preferred, as they show up well in the Ponoi’s peat-tinged waters. (Many anglers opt for tube flies designed by head guide Max Mamaev.) The guide anchors the boat, which provides a stable casting platform, at the top of a promising spot. One angler casts from the back of the boat to the right, the other from the front of the boat to the left. After several casts, the guide lets out a few meters of anchor line so anglers can cover new water. Optimally, the cast is at a 45-degree angle downstream. Once the fly lands, the angler may simply let it swing in the current, or slowly strip in line to impart motion. When a fish grabs the fly, the angler must resist the temptation to lift the rod until feeling the weight of the fish; if one sets the hook prematurely, the fish will be gone.

The numbers of fish that return to the Ponoi — estimated at nearly 50,000 a year — and the low fishing pressure add up to not only excellent fishing, but excellent catching for experts and beginners alike.

“My husband is a passionate salmon angler,” said Olga Johnson, a first-time visitor from Edinburgh, Scotland, with limited salmon-fishing experience.

“I came along for the adventure, but didn’t expect to catch a fish,” she continued. “That first morning, my fly was dangling below the boat, and I was stripping in line to make another cast. There was a gentle tug.

I remembered not to lift the rod, and soon the fish was off. Our guide, Andrei Federov, gave great pointers as I fought the fish. I didn’t think I would bring it in, but I did. It was 14 pounds, and we released it. It was magic.” (Ryabaga embraces a catch-and-release ethos, unless a fish is fatally hooked. Fish catches are carefully noted, and fish are tagged before their release so that scientists can monitor the health of the salmon population.)

Olga went on to catch five more fish that day — including two more that morning before her husband, Keith, landed his first. Her total for the week was 24 fish, more than most ardent anglers could expect to catch in a year in Scotland or New Brunswick. (The total catch for the week was 776 fish among 20 guests, an average of nearly 40 salmon per angler.)

At dinner on the day she landed her first salmon, Olga was brought a dish holding a salmon’s adipose fin, along with a slice of lemon and a shot of vodka — a traditional offering at Ryabaga for celebrating a guest’s first salmon. Amid cheers from guests and guides, she partook of her special appetizer.

Visitors to Ryabaga Camp take different approaches to angling. Some who simply cannot get enough fishing will avail themselves of the Home Pool, a reliable stretch of river in front of the prop-

erty, before breakfast and after dinner. “I can’t walk out my door at home and fish for Atlantic salmon,” reasoned Laurence Lock, who was visiting from Hertfordshire, England. Others, like François Brocard of London, embraced the totality of the experience, opting to prepare a leisurely gourmet meal at one of the lunch tents set up along the river and wash down his handiwork with a glass or two of wine.

Most guests agree that a special element of the experience is the chance to socialize with the guides and other staff members, some of whom have been at Ryabaga since 1991. For Len Smith, an angler from Stonehaven, Scotland, who visited for the 53rd time during my stay in mid-June, Ryabaga is like a second home. “I feel Ryabaga is part of me,” he said, after landing 17 salmon in one day.

On the evening of the summer solstice, guests were served a four-course dinner typical of Ryabaga offerings: Ukha (a Russian fish soup), citrus salad,

medallions of reindeer and chocolate biscuits. After such a hearty meal and a few glasses of Argentine Malbec, it was tempting to return to my cabin. But the idea of fishing near midnight was too attractive to resist. I wadered up and strolled down to the Home Pool. Thick clouds obscured the sun, which hovered atop the horizon; in late spring and early summer, it never quite sets. A bright salmon leapt clear of the water downstream as I peeled off line at the top of the pool and began working my way down — cast, swing, two steps, cast and swing. Eventually, I was joined by several other anglers, flanking me at 45-metre intervals. The angler below me, John Sievwright, pointed upstream. The clouds had parted enough to expose some rays of sunlight, which illuminated the sky in a dreamy, pinkish orange worthy of artist Maxfield Parrish. It was mirrored in wisps of clouds above the ridge downstream.

I was jolted back to the river by a loud splash.

Sievwright was fast to a bright salmon. It raced downstream and leapt clear of the river several more times before Sievwright led it to the bank for a quick photo. The heavens to the west seemed to brighten a bit more as he held up his catch.

Trendy Tel Aviv LANGUAGES AND CULTURES COEXIST IN THEIR OWN FOOD UNIVERSE AT THE CENTRE OF ISRAEL

BY SYLVIE BIGAR ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES “That’s all you’re eating, chérie?

You crazy?” shrieks Julie Ozen, bracelets dangling, grey hair high in a tight bun. She’s not my grandma, but she might as well be. On my plate, today’s specials include artichoke hearts and figs stuffed with beef in a lemon and mint sauce, whole beets cradling a mix of rice, lentils and nuts, and plump fish balls — a sampling of the Egyptian dishes her mother taught her back in Cairo. A few streets away, the seductive tangy aroma of hawayej, a Yemenite spice mix used to jazz up soup and pastries, woos diners into a simple eatery. Across the alley, local hipsters line up for a stool at an outdoor Venezuelan “arepa bar.”

In Tel Aviv visiting my sister Brigitte, I am at the Carmel Market, stunned by this place where languages, cultures and culinary specialties coexist within steps of each other.

“Tel Aviv is the secular centre of Israel,” said Gil Hovav, a consultant on Israel’s Top 100 Ethnic Restaurants, a free e-book published by the non-profit organization World Jewish Heritage Fund. “That may be the most surprising feature for first-time travellers who expect to find what they call Jewish food, meaning kosher Eastern European cuisine.”

Indeed, there was nothing remotely kosher in the flaky pastry called kouign amann, which was dripping with salted butter when we savoured it during Passover at Da Da & Da, the new French brasserie on the first floor of the Institut Français.

“It’s even tough to find a great chicken soup,” said World Jewish Heritage Fund founder Jack Gottlieb.

“People come to Tel Aviv for fusion and creativity.”

Both were in evidence at Oasis, an eatery built around a 200-year-old olive tree, where California native Rima Olvera darts around her small open kitchen, moulding whatever ingredients had landed in the kitchen that day into dishes she files under “destinations.” One evening, she took me to Rome via a zucchini carpaccio drizzled with truffle oil; to Hong Kong with fried chilies stuffed with shrimp and ground pork served with Lapsang Souchong tea jam and sticky rice; and to Brussels through dark cocoa fettuccine.

“Israelis have no roots, no tomorrow, they’re completely free,” said Eyal Shani, the Israeli celebrity chef who runs nine restaurants, including pita temples in Vienna and Paris. “I can’t import food culture, I can only forge my own based on the best local ingredients.” He reveres tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, olive oil, fresh fish and lamb, adhering easily to the common currency of the Mediterranean diet.

But some of the best food I tasted in Tel Aviv was rooted in tradition: moist grape leaves delicately wrapped

by Yom Tov Levi, 93, who learned his craft in Istanbul in the 1940s before moving to Israel and relocating his Yom Tov Deli to the Levinsky Market near the Central Bus Station. Curious about the tanginess of the green olives, I begged the current owners, Levi’s grandsons Eitan and Yomi, for the pickling recipe, but all I got was, “It’s an old one, a very old one.”

The brothers don’t live in the past, though.

The delectable offerings at Yom Tov Deli in Tel Aviv’s Levinsky Market have an old-school touch. first “all-vegan ice cream” shop. (Nearly 5 per cent of Israelis are vegan.)

Trends seem to rise and fade quickly in Tel Aviv. French bistros have sprouted everywhere, Georgian cuisine has become a thing and many chefs choose the pop-up route to test new concepts.

While I was there, Yuval Fachler had moored his Californian-Mediterranean cuisine at Salva Vida in the Brown Hotel while Eran Zino anchored his eight-day pop-up restaurant in Jaffa, where his gluten-free fare sold out in a matter of minutes, perhaps thanks to the best gluten-free schnitzel I have ever tasted.

“It’s the age of specialization,” said Jonathan Borowitz, chef at M25, the meat-centric restaurant owned by the crew behind the new Meat Market. I will probably crave the grass-fed beef I gnawed there for the rest of my life, but Borowitz’s talent goes way beyond grilling. A green salad reminded me of the work of French chef Michel Bras. “With mixed greens, you have to imagine you’re a rabbit, and make the kind of salad you want to jump into,” Borowitz said, laughing.

I strolled on the boardwalk along the crowded beach to the arrhythmic beat of matkot, the paddleball game that has taken over Israel’s beaches.

Turning my back on the gleaming skyscrapers, I headed to Jaffa, the ancient walled town where the city originated.

Seems everyone in Israel harbours a favourite hummus joint, but there was consensus that Jaffa’s Ali Caravan (a.k.a. Abu Hassan) was a sure bet. It took a while to walk there from the water, and even longer to get a table, but the chickpea puree was smooth, nutty and deeply satisfying.

Back near the sea, I was reminded of Morocco at Haj Kahil, with its “Arab cuisine with a Galilee touch,” and the 12 different salads served as an appetizer. The carrots were more tangy, the labne (strained yogurt) a tad more sour and the baba ghanouj more fluffy than

LAS VEGAS

any I had tried.

Among the champions of the “new” Israeli cuisine, Meir Adoni, of Moroccan descent, seemed to epitomize yet another trend: After travelling the world and coming back to Israel, he has found inspiration from his roots — both at his casual eateries and at his fine dining restaurants. “I think of my grandmother’s culinary heritage and build on it as the base for my creativity,” he said.

At Mizlala, his casual eatery near the Great Synagogue, a croissant revealed fried calf brains and eggplant stew, a delicious combination.

Tel Aviv may be the secular centre

of Israel, where so much takes place in the street (art, food, social life) but on Friday night, even hipsters and food maniacs go home to Mom’s for a traditional Shabbat dinner.

The town shut down suddenly, so I headed to the elegant Montefiore Hotel, where a happy buzz accompanied creative cocktails and Vietnamese-accented French cuisine.

But that night, I craved a different kind of fare. I walked through the empty streets to my sister’s apartment, where she was hosting a potluck dinner. On my plate later, I savoured falafel, friendship and family. And that was the taste of home.

How I kept running while pregnant

BY KATIE BENZEL ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Running is a huge part of my life.

Most of my social life involves running.

It’s my preferred form of therapy. I almost always have a race on the horizon, and I get up early to log miles before work more often than not. In other words, I’m one of “those people” - the generally eccentric bunch of fitness nuts that make Colorado Springs a top running town.

When we found out I was pregnant with my first child in January, my husband and I were thrilled. After the initial excitement wore off, I began to think about the implications that held for my daily life, especially running. Every woman – and every pregnancy – is different, and my guess was as good as anybody else’s on how my body would hold up through the nine months of creating a human. You hear about women having to stop exercise entirely, but there are also people running marathons with giant bellies.

It turns out, it really is an individual journey, and the best anyone can do is listen to her body and her doctor.

When I talked to my OB/GYN early on, she recommended modifying my pace by tracking my heart rate, keeping my exertion below 140 beats per minute. Through a bit of online research, I learned that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists had removed the specific heart rate recommendation from their exercise guidelines several years ago.

Instead, they encourage training by perceived exertion level: keeping all efforts to a pace where it’s easy to carry on a conversation.

However, because my doctor was insistent on the heart rate monitoring, I decided to give it a try. I bought a chest strap monitor to pair with my GPS watch and learned just how little effort it took me to get up to 140 beats per minute. My nine- or 10-minute-mile pace ballooned to 11 or 12 minutes.

Speed workouts were a no-go. For the rest of my pregnancy, I used 140 bpm as a guideline, but I wouldn’t freak out if it spiked a little higher, but I could still carry on a conversation.

During the first trimester, your body goes into overdrive, and your circulation system is producing extra blood to support your baby. I found that my heart rate would spike and I would get winded going up stairs, let alone running up a hill. My favorite running routes are on the trails through the mountains and hills surrounding Colorado Springs, so the 140 bpm limit seemed oppressive at first. My body wasn’t much different externally, but I had to slow down a lot to keep my effort level moderate. It took me a little time to get my head around this new physical challenge I was “training” for.

Once I accepted my new parameters, though, I was able to stay fairly consistent, running four to five days a week at a slower pace. I was fortunate enough to avoid many of the discomforts of early pregnancy, such as consistent morning sickness. (I imagine a large chunk of people just stopped reading right there.) Trust me, I consider myself extremely lucky.

Maybe being fit to start out with

‘MY BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS FINISHING A 10K RACE AT 38 WEEKS. IT WASN’T PRETTY: I USED EVERY BATHROOM OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE AND HAD TO WALK UP THE HILLS ON THE COURSE. I JOKED WITH MY FRIEND CARRIE, WHO RAN WITH ME, THAT SHE HAD TO BE READY TO CALL 911, CATCH A BABY OR PROVIDE COVER IF I HAD TO DUCK INTO THE BUSHES – IT WAS A BIG JOB!’ KATIE BENZEL

helped, or maybe my body just handled this burden really well. As my belly began to expand in the second trimester, I noticed pain in my round ligaments, which run on either side of the belly, supporting the abdomen. I bought a support belt that I wore for a while, but I found that into the third trimester the pain decreased and the belt didn’t make a whole lot of difference anymore, so I started leaving it behind.

As the third trimester wore on and the baby began exerting more internal pressure downward, I began requiring numerous midrun bathroom breaks on even the shortest of runs. I could draw a map from memory of the porta-johns and favorable bushes in the local parks I was frequenting. I also noticed that the extra weight was taking a toll on my joints and muscles. I’d feel as tired after four miles as I used to be after eight. Another unfortunate side effect of carrying extra weight on the front of one’s body is a lack of balance: I took a couple of spills and bloodied my knees pretty well, not expecting the tug of gravity to be so strong.

My biggest accomplishment was finishing a 10K race at 38 weeks. It wasn’t pretty: I used every bathroom opportunity available and had to walk up the “hills” on the course. I joked with my friend Carrie, who ran with me, that she had to be ready to call 911, catch a baby or provide cover if I had to duck into the bushes – it was a big job!

I think all this activity will pay off: using endorphins to weather the emotional roller coaster of pregnancy hormones, being fit and healthy to undertake the marathon of labor and delivery and being able to bounce back faster afterward. As a bonus, I’ve already shared so much with my unborn child (about 700 miles’ worth of experiences, if we are keeping score). My husband and I want to set the example of a healthy, active lifestyle right from the beginning. Plus, someone has to be able to keep up with this child.

Since the 10K, I’ve slowed down quite a bit, but I still think about running all the time. I worry about what postpartum running will be like, both physically and from a time-management perspective. Right now I’m pretty eager to get back at it for many reasons (go ahead and Google “maternal fat stores”), but I know I’ll need to temper

I plan to ease back in, building mileage slowly (we’ve already bought a jogging stroller) and making sure to incorporate plenty of yoga, stretching, cross-training and strength training.

I’ve learned through years of running what it takes for me to stay injury-free; I’ll just have to be even more aware of what my body tells me as we all adjust to our new family member.

I feel lucky to have run as long as I did, but now I imagine what it will feel like to be able to run at a faster pace, to actually push myself. I picture

the freedom of bombing down a rocky mountain trail, feeling the sun on my face and the wind in my hair.

And perhaps most of all, I dream of being able to cover more than 2 miles between bathroom stops.

Here comes ... Bridal Fashion Week

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Here comes the … march of the wedding gowns for Bridal Fashion Week.

From boho chic to traditional ball gowns, models dressed as smiling brides took Manhattan this month for a trade show of their very own following the fall cycle of womenswear runway around the globe.

Some highlights:

MARCHESA

“Bridal week is definitely happy,” said Keren Craig, who comprises half the brand’s design duo with Georgina Chapman. “It’s all about love.”

The two put their brides on a white platform, letting natural light from huge windows drench their romantic off-the-shoulder gowns in fit-and-flare silhouettes, among other shapes adorned with floral embroidery, and Chantilly lace underlays in subtle blush and nude tones.

They drew inspiration from Eos, the Greek goddess of the dawn. Her gown, woven with flowers, played out in long strands of petals, floral threadwork and cascading draped bustles.

There was a lingerie feel in sheer and transparent elements combined with constructed corsets and lace bustiers.

“What we do see now is the bride is going more in the direction of wanting plunging necks, a little more sheerness, an easier dress,” added Chapman in a joint interview with Craig. “Not just necessarily the traditional big ball gown.”

Nowadays, Craig added, a bride often searches out more flexibility for her big day, such as a detachable cape they put on a high-low skirt that lent a modern touch.

“They want to transform their dress easily without actually having to change,” she said.

As for colour, some designers are going bold. Not these two. They stuck to muted, traditional tones.

“We haven’t done any black yet,” Craig smiled, “but never say never.”

Lhuillier deconstructed gowns into sheer, embellished negligee styles with layers of tulle and delicate lace in come-hither shades of white, cream and blush. Some of her gowns came in deeper shades of coffee, gold and fawn.

“This year, I was so nostalgic looking back,” Lhuillier said in an interview. “I was really enjoying looking through the years. There’s a little sentiment but also a move forward in a little colour, some necklines that are a little more exaggerated. I was thinking how to make bridal new and exciting again.”

Among the more interesting details were some

standout backs. One crossed like a sports bra but came in lace with silvery sparkles on a sleeveless drop-waist gown that hugged the body until it gave way to a full tulle skirt. Another had sheer sleeves with floral details with a round, open back in the colour of a latte.

There were other sleeve moments. One floral-applique, lingerie-inspired gown plunged into a sexy V at the front and included sheer asymmetrical sleeves open at the shoulder.

Evoking her past, Lhuillier included dainty little ribbon belts.

YOLANCRIS

The designers behind this Eurocentric brand are sisters from Barcelona, Yolanda and Cristina Perez.

And this time around, they had their brides draped in gold, with a motif of spikes of wheat wending through the details.

It was their haute couture Studio Collection inspired by the Victorian Age and the work of 19th century masters: Van Dyck, Rubens, El Greco. The designers carried the artists’ heroines and dreamers into rich laces, organza, embroidered tulle and hand beading done in florals.

Many of the gowns were showpieces with huge bulges in places few brides would care to emphasize, but others were beautifully crafted in lushly laced wearable column silhouettes.

Two had unusual brocade and beaded backs. A third in gold had heavy Victorian shoulders atop long sleeves.

“The presence of the wheat is so important. It’s the line that connects the collection,” Yolanda explained in a joint interview. “The gold is a new colour for a bride.”

Wheat, they said, symbolizes growth and fertility.

Can the gold be worn in church?

“Yes, absolutely,” said Cristina.

The sisters dressed Kim Kardashian’s sisters as bridesmaids for her 2014 wedding to Kanye West and Beyonce wore one of their delicate white bridal dresses when she collected one of several statues at the MTV Video Music Awards last August.

MONIQUE LHUILLIER

It’s a big year for Lhuillier: Her 20th year in the fashion industry, in fact, and for bridal she took a look back through her archives in search of where she’s been and where she wants to go.

And her latest bride? Well, she’s a breathless, excited ingenue with tousled hair who could practically wear her wedding gown to bed.

Snoring husband keeping wife awake DEAR ANNIE ANNIE LANE Dear Annie: Before marriage, I slept well every night. Since I’ve been married and my husband and I shared a home together for the first time, my sleep has suffered. The main culprit is my husband’s snoring.

When he snores at night, I wake up so often to poke him or tell him to change positions that we both wake up tired and resentful in the morning. At times, he has slept on the couch, but his own sleep suffered during those times, and I felt guilty. When we sleep together, I have to take sleeping pills

just to be able to fall back to sleep. I spent last night on the couch myself just so I could catch some uninterrupted sleep.

The problem is that he gets sensitive about it when I bring it up, and he also is sad when I leave the room to go sleep elsewhere. It feels as if I have to either keep my mouth shut and suffer to avoid offending him or do what I need to do to sleep but risk having a sad husband on my hands. I just want us to have a “normal” marriage bed.

What do I do? I am tired all of the time. — Losing Sleep Dear Losing: You’re not alone. Thirteen per cent of couples who live together sleep in separate beds every night, and half of them do so because of snoring. I assume, seeing as you’re writing to me, that your husband has tried all the usual tips — breathing strips, propping his upper body and

head up with pillows, sleeping on his side, etc. If that’s the case, his doctor should refer him to a sleep specialist.

He may suffer from sleep apnea or another sleep disorder.

Dear Annie: What is going on with customer service? Every time I go to my bank, which is not a lot, the teller wants to know the details of how I spent my weekend. Or if I cash a cheque, one teller asks me what I am going to spend the money on, saying, “Hopefully something good.”

Now when I give them a cheque to be cashed, I stand two feet away from the window so the teller can’t ask me any questions. When I got my oil changed at my car dealership, the strange man working there asked me what my plans for the day were. Are they kidding?

This is so intrusive! First, they don’t really care, and second, it’s none of their business. How can I possibly

SMASHING PUMPKINS

tell them this in a not-so-smart-alecky way? — J.W. Dear J.W.: Yes, you are right that not everyone who asks how you’re doing or what your plans are actually cares what the answer is. But this type of person cares about at least trying to reach out and make you feel appreciated. In a world that is increasingly impersonal and digital, there’s a lot to be said for good old-fashioned face-toface contact.

By no means are you obligated to have a heart-to-heart with every mechanic or bank teller, though. If you keep your replies short and sweet, they’ll get the message.

The zoo provided some of its animals with pumpkins filled with tasty treats to eat, play with, roll around in, tear apart and smash. Each year around Halloween, zoo staff provide the animals with seasonal munchies — including pumpkins, gourds, cornstalks and other fall harvest goodies — as part of its comprehensive program of ensuring environments for animals that are ever-changing and appropriately complex.

JOANNE MADELINE MOORE HOROSCOPE Friday, Oct. 14 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Roger Moore, 89; Cliff Richard, 76; Usher, 38 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The more thoughtful you are, the better the day will be.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Careful and composed, you need to spend lots of time on your own. Over the next 12 months, strive to be less cautious and more adventurous.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you make rash assumptions about people — especially in close relationships — then you’ll end up in hot water. Try to burn off excess energy through sporting activities or vigorous outdoor endeavours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Attached Bulls — do your best to spice up the relationship with a thoughtful romantic gesture. Singles — you could find love via an introduction from a family member or a married friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Interactions with children or teenagers will be disruptive, as they assert their independence. Venus encourages you to contribute more of your time and talents to causes within your local community.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): With disciplined Saturn visiting your well being zone, you need to get

serious about your health and fitness.

So it’s time for complacent Crabs to jump off the comfy couch and get moving!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What you do and say will be closely scrutinized by others today, which suits you just fine.

You don’t mind if others are clapping or criticizing — as long as you are being noticed, you’re happy!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The pressure’s building today and it may feel as if everything’s getting on top of you.

The big lesson to learn is how to delegate. No one — not even a super effective Virgo — is indispensable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Serious Saturn helps steady your versatile mind today Libra. So it’s a suitable time to study up a storm, or power through paperwork that you’ve been putting off. Strike while the iron is hot!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many Scorpios will be alarmingly charming today, as you make those around you feel extra special. But don’t believe everything you hear, as people may blurt out things that they really don’t mean.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

CAIRO — A video of an enraged tuk-tuk driver unloading on the state of Egypt’s flagging economy went viral on Thursday, underlining growing popular discontent in the country over shortages of food staples and broader business malaise.

Filmed in the crowded lanes of a working class Cairo neighbourhood, the video shows the driver, surrounded by crowds, slamming the government for spending money on pomp at recent state ceremonies while the poor suffer.

“You watch Egypt on television and it’s like Vienna, you go out on the street and it’s like Somalia’s cousin,” he says in the clip, originally aired on Wednesday night on the pro-government Al Hayat television channel.

By Thursday evening it had gained some 2.2 million views and 62,000 likes on one Facebook page, with thousands more added each hour to the criticism-heavy footage, rare to be broadcast on television. In a sign of how sensitive the matter is, the network quickly pulled the video from its own media sites. Egypt has a long history of suppressing news that can be seen as damaging to its image, a trend that has intensified under the rule of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.

El-Sissi, a former general and army chief, overthrew his elected but divisive Islamist predecessor in 2013, stamping out opposition and dissent with thousands jailed — but also promising stability and a better economy for all.

You’re in a super generous mood today but don’t promise more than you can actually deliver. Talk is cheap Sagittarius. Make sure you can follow through with action, and walk your talk.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you jump to conclusions or make assumptions, then you could find yourself in a confusing — or confronting — situation. So think things through before you start making big promises.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When it comes to a complicated group situa-

tion, bide your time Aquarius. Speak little and observe a lot. And then think things through carefully before you make any long-term commitments.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Many Pisceans are procrastinators. When it comes to a professional opportunity, don’t sit on it for too long. A change could turn out surprisingly well! But tread carefully with a fractious friend.

‘Impossible to say with absolute clarity’ FINANCE MINISTER BILL MORNEAU ON WHAT THE IMPACTS OF THE NEW MORTGAGE RULES WILL BE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Finance Minister Bill Morneau says it’s “impossible to say with absolute clarity” what the impacts of new mortgage rules introduced by Ottawa earlier this month will be.

“What we expect will happen is that as people look towards taking on a mortgage, they will do what most people are already doing and ensure that they take on a mortgage that’s appropriate for their situation,” Morneau told reporters in Toronto Thursday.

‘WHAT WE EXPECT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT AS PEOPLE LOOK TOWARDS TAKING ON A MORTGAGE, THEY WILL DO WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE ALREADY DOING AND ENSURE THAT THEY TAKE ON A MORTGAGE THAT’S APPROPRIATE FOR THEIR SITUATION.’ - FINANCE MINISTER BILL MORNEAU “And if it contributes to them looking more carefully at whether the mortgage is the right size for them … that’ll be a positive for their family and a positive for the economy.”

The federal government announced a series of changes aimed at stabilizing the country’s housing markets, including tightening mortgage rules that will put new limits on how much some buyers can borrow.

The new rules mean that as of Oct. 17, all insured mortgages will have to undergo a stress test to make sure borrowers will still be able to make their payments even if interest rates go up in the future.

Previously the stress tests were not required for fixed-rate mortgages longer than five years.

Ottawa also closed a tax loophole so that only Canadian residents can use the principal residence tax exemption. The exemption allows homeowners to

Finance Minister Bill Morneau says it’s ‘impossible to say with absolute clarity’ what the impact of the new mortgage rules that Ottawa introduced earlier this month will be. avoid capital gains tax when they sell a home as long as they were living in it.

Morneau made his comments following a meeting with private sector economists to discuss their outlooks ahead of the government’s fall economic and fiscal update.

Morneau was tight-lipped about the details of the update, which is expected in the coming weeks. He would not provide a precise date for when it would

be released.

TD Economics released a report Thursday that said the budget deficit is likely to come in at about $5 billion higher this fiscal year than predicted in the March budget due to challenging economic conditions.

Over a five-year span, the cumulative deficit could come in at $16.5 billion higher than forecasted, according to the report.

Oil refining, upgrading panel struck

SUCCESS 4 BUSINESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Alberta government has struck a panel to advise it on the best way to upgrade its energy industry.

Energy Minister Marg McCuaig-Boyd said Thursday the seven-member panel will do research, talk to stakeholders and the public, and report back in a year on initiatives such as upgrading and refining.

“We’re going to have them look at all of those options,” MARG MCCUAIG-BOYD said McCuaig-Boyd.

“If there is going to be government policy or programs to help with this, we want to make sure we’re strategic.

“We’ll defer to the committee on the best advice of what will bring investment.”

Its co-chairs are Jeanette Patell with General Electric, and Gil McGowan, the president of the Alberta Federation of Labour.

The panel has a budget of $150,000 and it’s not clear yet what its public engagement process will look like.

Adding to and upgrading value for Alberta’s oil and gas resources has been a cornerstone policy of Premier Rachel Notley’s government.

Wildrose energy critic Leela Sharon Aheer agreed attracting investors should be at the top of the panel’s agenda.

But she said the current NDP policy, such as the looming broad-based carbon tax, is working at cross purposes.

“We have to see how it’s going to attract investment. That should be at the top of that mandate,” she said.

“But if you look at past (NDP) policy, it’s not intuitive that way.”

Red-hot Vancouver prices cooling off?

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Royal LePage CEO Phil Soper says house prices in Greater Vancouver grew 30.6 per cent year-over-year in the third quarter of the year, marking what may have been the real estate market’s “final hurrah.”

The real estate agency says the average house price in the region soared to $1.19 million in the three-month period that ended Sept. 30, up from $914,705 during the same quarter last year.

The average price of a home in Greater Toronto rose to $693,154 over the third quarter, up 13.6 per cent compared to last year, when the average home price was $610,308.

In Edmonton, where the decline in oil prices has hurt the real estate market, the average cost of a home was down 3.1 per cent to $374,712 from $386,829 a year ago.

Royal LePage says its national house price composite — a figure based on 53 of the country’s largest real estate markets — showed that the average price of a home climbed 12 per cent from a year ago to

S&P / TSX 14,643.71 +24.74

▲

TSX:V 777.50 +6.95

$545,414 in the third quarter.

Soper says he expects that price growth in Vancouver will slow or even reverse in the months ahead as the effects of recent federal and provincial government rule changes begin to be felt.

In August, the B.C. government introduced a 15 per cent tax on foreigners purchasing homes in Vancouver.

Home sales in the city have been falling since then — with recently released figures indicating a 32.6 per cent drop in September compared to the same month last year — but prices have continued to rise.

“It often takes about six months … for prices to catch up with a change in demand, either on the upside or the downside,” says Soper.

However, he adds that the trend of declining home sales started long before the introduction of the foreign buyer tax.

Many would-be buyers have simply moved to the sidelines as prices have spiralled out of their reach, he says.

Soper says the new tax can’t be blamed as the sole cause if home prices begin to drop in the coming

quarters — but it certainly may be the catalyst.

“You take a lineman in professional football — a great, big human being — and they’re sort of teetering on their heels,” he says.

“A child comes along and pushes them on their chest and they topple over. The tax impacted a very small group of people in a very narrow geographic and house price range in one city, yet it came at a time when the market was already cooling. It represents that push in the chest to something that was already ready to change.”

As for new mortgage rules introduced by Ottawa earlier this month, Soper says fears associated with those changes have been exaggerated.

He predicts that prices in Ontario and many other parts of the country will continue to rise, in spite of new measures including a requirement that lenders apply stress tests to all mortgage borrowers.

“There will be some transactions taken out of play with the new regulations,” says Soper. “It’s just a mathematical certainty. But I don’t think it will be enough to reverse the positive trend that we see across the country.”

New house price index gained 0.2% in August: StatsCan

TransCanada offers Alberta gas shippers lower price

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Statistics Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s index for tracking new housing prices rose 0.2 per cent in August compared with July, driven by gains in Toronto and Oshawa, Ont. The agency says the combined region of Toronto and Oshawa gained 0.7 per cent as builders cited market conditions and higher costs for materials.

Kitchenerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Cambridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Waterloo, Ont., gained 0.5 per cent, while the combined region of Greater Sudbury and Thunder Bay, Ont., added 0.4 per cent.

New house prices fell 0.5 per cent in Regina due to promotional packages to encourage sales and Saskatoon dropped 0.2 per cent.

The new housing price index was up 2.7 per cent compared with a year ago.

The combined region of Toronto and Oshawa was the biggest contributor to the increase with a 7.0 per cent jump from August 2015.

CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; TransCanada Corp.

(TSX:TRP) is offering lower-priced long-term contracts for Alberta natural gas shippers that want to use the Canadian Mainline system that stretches across the Prairies and winds through Ontario to a hub near Sarnia, Ont. The Calgary-based company says its proposal for a new round of binding commitments doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect current contracts that are already in place for the system.

Instead, TransCanada says the new tolling arrangement offers additional access to markets in Eastern Canada and the northeastern United States, from the Empress hub in eastern Alberta to the Dawn hub in southern Ontario.

TransCanada says the proposed price of service for new 10-year contracts is between 75 cents and 82 cents per gigajoule, subject to the contract volume.

The new price doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include provisions to divert the flow to alternate points, although TransCanada says it may be possible to deliver along the Great Lakes pipeline in some circumstances.

The new capacity will be open for bidding until Nov. 10, subject to approval from the National Energy Board. The capacity will be in-service on Nov. 1, 2017.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North American stock markets were looking for direction Thursday as worries about growth in China weighed on investorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds.

On the Toronto Stock Exchange, the S&P/TSX composite index gained 24.74 points at 14,643.71, with the gold sector leading advancers as the December gold contract rose $3.80 to US$1,257.60 an ounce.

Bullion is usually seen as a safe haven to investors amid economic uncertainty.

Metals finished as the biggest decliner on the market, while December copper contracts fell five cents to US$2.12 a pound.

China, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest economy, reported that exports fell 10 per cent in September versus a year ago.

The decline was a much bigger drop than in August, and greater than what analysts had been expecting.

Markets look to China as a pulse for global economic growth. Since the summer of 2015, stocks have periodically been roiled by worries that Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy was weakening.

Ben Jang, a portfolio manager at Nicola Wealth Management, says investors are most concerned about whether these latest figures are indicative of a downward trend that is about to emerge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about whether this is a continuing narrative of â&#x20AC;Ś a global slowdown,â&#x20AC;? said Jang in Vancouver.

The pressure weighed on Wall Street, as bank stocks fell amid investor fears that this data means banks will be more reluctant to lend money to consumers and businesses around the world.

Miners and other companies that make basic mate-

rials also declined because many of them rely heavily on exports to China.

On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 45.26 points at 18,098.94, the broader S&P 500 composite index dipped 6.63 points to 2,132.55, and the Nasdaq composite faded 25.69 points to 5,213.33.

Amid these worries, Jang doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think negative readings from China will be enough to stop the U.S. Federal Reserve from making a move on interest rates as early as December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is some politics involved,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the concern is the potential that a rate hike will create volatility in the marketplace and coincide with whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening around the world.â&#x20AC;?

What will perhaps play a larger factor is what kind of economic outlook third-quarter earnings results will show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Earnings growth needs to turn and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find stabilization in the market,â&#x20AC;? said Jang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pretty weak.

Federal deficit $5 billion higher than predicted: TD TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; TD Bank is predicting the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficit this fiscal year will be about $5 billion higher than Ottawa predicted in its March budget due to the sluggish economy.

The bank says based on its calculations, the deficit is on track to hit $34 billion this year.

Over a five-year span, the cumulative deficit is likely to be $16.5 billion higher than forecasted in the last budget.

TD (TSX:TD) says the higher-thanexpected deficit would soak up the $6-billion annual cushion and then some that the government built in to its finances to protect against unforeseen events.

However, the bank notes that despite the larger deficit, modest economic growth would likely cap the debt-to-GDP ratio at its current level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 31 to 32 per cent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; through fiscal 2020-21.

When asked about the TD report, Finance Minister Bill Morneau said the government is â&#x20AC;&#x153;pleasedâ&#x20AC;? that it made the right decision by building in the $6-billion cushion, given that the global economic environment has

Bombardier will catch up with rivals, says CEO MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bombardierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO says the company has been a little late on chasing opportunities in Iran, but should be able to catch up with its rivals following Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifting of sanctions.

In an interview, Alain Bellemare says Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move earlier this year to lift sanctions has been useful in helping to gain market access.

With teams on the ground now in Iran, Bellemare says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not concerned about winning its share of new orders.

The Montreal-based plane and train maker (TSX:BBD.B) sees opportunities to sell regional rail services along with regional jets and CSeries planes as Iranian companies look to modernize.

Beer brouhaha brewing in New Brunswick FREDERICTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A New Brunswick judge has reserved her decision on whether a cross-border beer battle can go to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court of Appeal.

Provincial government lawyers are seeking leave to appeal the April ruling that effectively threw out limits on cross-border alcohol imports.

Justice Margaret Larlee must decide if the case can skip the Court of Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bench and go directly to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high court.

Provincial Court Judge Ronald LeBlanc tossed out all charges against Gerard Comeau, who was charged with il-

legally importing 14 cases of beer and three bottles of liquor from a Quebec border town in 2012.

Beer near the border in Quebec is about half the price charged in New Brunswick, but the Liquor Control Act prohibits anyone in New Brunswick from having more than 12 pints of beer that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t purchased through a liquor store in the province.

The judge cited the words of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founders, saying they never intended that laws should blatantly block the free flow of goods within the new country. The Crown says the judge erred in his legal interpretation of both the Constitution Act and the Liquor Control Act.

Lashing back, Trump calls accusers ‘horrible horrible liars’

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Lashing back, Donald Trump heatedly rejected the growing list of sexual assault allegations against him as “pure fiction” on Thursday, hammering his female accusers as “horrible, horrible liars” as the already-nasty presidential campaign sank further into charges of attacks on women.

Campaign foe Hillary Clinton said “the disturbing stories just keep on coming” about her Republican opponent, but she let first lady Michelle Obama’s passionate response carry the day. Obama, in battleground New Hampshire, warned that the New York billionaire’s behaviour “is not something we can ignore.”

After years of working to end “this kind of violence and abuse and disrespect … we’re hearing these exact same things on the campaign trail. We are drowning in it,” Obama declared, her voice cracking with emotion. “We can’t expose our children to this any longer, not for another minute, let alone for four years.”

With Election Day less than four weeks away, Republican Trump was again forced to defend himself against allegations of sexual misconduct, five days after a video surfaced in which he bragged about kissing and groping women without their permission.

Similar behaviour was detailed by women who accused Trump in articles published late Wednesday by The New York Times and the Palm Beach Post. Separately, a People magazine reporter offered a first-person account accusing Trump of attacking her while she was in Florida to interview him and his pregnant wife.

Ever defiant, the New York bil-

lionaire denied the allegations and blamed them on Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the complicit news media as he campaigned in Florida. He promised to sue his media critics and said he was preparing evidence that would discredit his female accusers, whom he called “horrible people.

They’re horrible, horrible liars.”

He went further during an evening appearance in Columbus, Ohio, saying he “never met” some of the women.

“I don’t know who they are,” he insisted and said they “made up stories.”

“These vicious claims about me, of inappropriate conduct with women, are totally and absolutely false. And the Clintons know it,” he said earlier.

He offered no evidence discrediting the new reports except to ask why his accusers had waited years and then made their allegations less than a month before the election.

His comments came soon after he called a reporter “a sleazebag” for asking whether Trump had ever touched or groped a woman without her consent.

Trump’s attacks on his accusers’ credibility marked an awkward break from campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, who earlier in the week highlighted a Clinton tweet that said “every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.”

Conway hoped to encourage more women to come forward with allegations against Bill Clinton, building on the campaign’s Sunday decision to bring three of the former president’s accusers to the second presidential debate.

“His campaign is promising more scorched-earth attacks. Now that’s up to him,” Clinton said.

Writer accuses Trump of sexual assault more than a decade ago

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Donald Trump responded to allegations of sexual misconduct from a Canadian writer by drawing attention to her physical appearance, saying “Look at her… I don’t think so,” as he angrily fought off a swarm of accusations stinging his campaign.

Former People magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff published a vivid account of allegedly being pinned against a wall and forcibly kissed by Trump.

A l l e g a tions made by Stoynoff and at least three NATASHA STOYNOFF other women have come out less than a week after a 2005 video was released in which the Republican presidential candidate is heard bragging that his fame gave him licence to kiss and touch women.

While Trump has categorically denied all sexual assault allegations against him, he attacked Stoynoff’s claims with particular vigour on Thursday afternoon.

At a rally in which he described all his accusers as “horrible liars,” he singled out Stoynoff, who spent years

working at two Toronto daily papers before moving to the United States to cover Trump and other celebrities.

“You take a look. Look at her. Look at her words,” Trump told supporters in Florida. “You tell me what you think — I don’t think so. I don’t think so.”

Stoynoff could not immediately be reached for comment.

The writer, whose social media profiles indicate she went to Toronto’s Ryerson University, cut her teeth in journalism at both the Toronto Star and Toronto Sun. The Star confirmed that she worked full-time as both a photographer and reporter between 1990 and early 1993.

Present-day Star columnist Heather Mallick said Stoynoff also became a regular contributor to the Sunday Sun review section, where she earned a reputation for warmth, humour and intelligence.

Many of the details in Stoynoff’s written account — from the description of the assignment that led her to the Trump family Florida estate where the alleged attack took place to her warm interactions with Trump’s wife months after the fact — reminded Mallick of the coworker she described as exceptional.

“She was a very open and honest person, and that’s one of the reasons I remember her with such fondness,” Mallick said. “She just had a friendly personality. She was a person of great candour.”

Top research advances in dementia PADMAJA GENESH SENIORS We observed the World Alzheimer’s Day once again on Sept. 21. It was observed all over the world as a day to focus on raising awareness, inspiring action, and helping people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia around the world. Unlike the preceding years, we have reasons to be optimistic this year, because of research successes and growing national interest in the disease.

Alzheimer’s disease is close to the hearts of many Canadians. This progressive neurodegenerative disease leads to loss of memory and abilities that affect the independence and quality of life that we all hold so dear. Recognizing that this disease can only be tackled by the cooperation with the medical/research communities within Canada and outside and collective action at all levels of government, our nation has joined the global efforts to find effective treatments and eventually a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.

The Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging is a national initiative that connects 360 Canadian researchers working across the full range of dementia research including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, care and support. Federal support for innovations will enable research to be translated into new products and services designed to meet the needs of patients and families.

Extensive research efforts have al-

so been made in the U.S.A., U.K., Australia and other countries as well. One such research that is aimed at finding a new treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is the Anti-Amyloid Antibody against Asymptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease or the A4 study. This was simultaneously launched at several centres in the U.S. and at Toronto and Vancouver.

The research using Anti-Amyloid Antibody or vaccine initially started in 2011-2012 and it was used to treat individuals who had a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s’ Disease. The amyloid vaccine was supposed to clear amyloid plaques (collections of amyloid beta 42 protein) from the brain, but failed to deliver the expected results due to the huge amyloid load.

In A4 study the target population includes individuals who do not have symptoms of the disease but either have PET scan evidence of brain changes or a strong family history of the disease. Biogen’s Aducanumab has been promising in reducing the amyloid load in the brain and improving cognition in the participants. It has thus cleared Phase 1 and two trials and has entered Phase 3 trial.

University of Calgary has been chosen as one of the sites of this double-blind randomized control study, named Trial 221AD301. The study will last for 78 weeks and involves the use of Aducanumab (low dose, and high dose) versus placebo, given as monthly infusions.

The study is aiming to recruit 1350 individuals, between the ages of 5085 with mild memory symptoms and positive amyloid PET scan. Enrolment for this study will start in two to three months, with the overall trial results to be published by 2020. You can get

more information about this study from https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/ NCT02477800.

Another top research that made the headlines this year is in the area of early diagnosis. Both U.S.A. and U.K. have been working on a panel of lipids and proteins in the blood, the changes in the levels of which can indicate Alzheimer’s changes happening in the brain several years before the person experiences symptoms.

If this works, we will soon have a blood test that will help identify people who are developing the disease, in the very early stage itself. Since the current medications and the new trial medications have a better chance of succeeding if administered in the very early stages, this research is of utmost significance and is worth monitoring.

Canada is also participating in this research to develop a blood test for Alzheimer’s disease. At the University of Calgary, Dr. Peter Stys is engaged in this research. They are recruiting persons with dementia and healthy volunteers to participate in the study.

The participants should be willing to travel to Calgary, donate blood and undergo a lumbar puncture. Interested individuals may contact Dr. Smith at 403-944-1594.

Alberta is thus actively participating in dementia research and Albertans have the opportunity to be involved with the research initiatives.

We hope that through our concerted efforts, we will able to develop effective treatments, and possibly a cure for Alzheimer’s disease in the coming years.

Prostate cancer and dementia: do hormone blockers boost risks?

CHICAGO — Hormone-blocking drugs for prostate cancer may increase men’s chances for developing dementia, a large study suggests, but researchers say the results aren’t conclusive enough to recommend avoiding a treatment that can improve survival.

Cancer patients who used the drugs faced about double the chances of being diagnosed with dementia over five years, compared with nonusers. The actual risk of dementia, though, was quite low for all the men.

The researchers analyzed 20 years of electronic health records for almost 9,300 prostate cancer patients treated at Stanford University’s health system.

About 20 per cent of the men were given hormone blockers, which lower levels of testosterone and other hormones that can fuel cancer growth.

After five years of follow-up, about eight per cent of men on hormone blockers were diagnosed with dementia versus almost four per cent of nonusers.

The results were published Thursday in the journal JAMA Oncology.

The researchers and others say rigorous studies are needed to prove whether the widely used treatment is risky.

About half of all prostate cancer patients in developed countries receive the treatment, including about 500,000 U.S. men currently on the drugs.

How the medicines might increase dementia risks is uncertain. One possible explanation is their effect on testosterone levels.

That hormone can drive cancer cell growth, but low levels have also been linked with heart and blood vessel problems that can also contribute to dementia.
