‘Profound shock and heartbreak’ FORMER ALBERTA PREMIER JIM PRENTICE AMONG FOUR DEAD IN B.C. PLANE CRASH

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

KELOWNA, B.C. — The family of Jim Prentice expressed its “profound shock and heartbreak” Friday after a plane carrying the former Alberta premier and three other people crashed into a heavily wooded area in southern British Columbia with the loss of everyone on board.

The small jet was en route from Kelowna to the Springbank airport, near Calgary, when it went down shortly after takeoff, also killing Dr. Ken Gellatly, the father-in-law of one of Prentice’s three daughters.

“To lose two family members at once is unbelievably painful,” the family said in a statement that confirmed Prentice and Gellatly were on the plane.

The RCMP said there was one pilot and three passengers on board. The identities of the pilot and the third passenger have not been made public

and the B.C. coroner’s service said it could take several days before it releases names.

Prentice, 60, also a former federal cabinet minister, quit politics in May 2015 after the Alberta NDP swept the Progressive Conservatives from power.

The family described Gellatly as “a very special man” and expressed the “heartbreak” caused by the news.

“In the time Jim has been with us, he was a friend to many. Jim was a loving and compassionate man who dedicated his life to his family and public service. He will be so greatly missed.”

A respected figure, tributes to Prentice and his legacy focused on his ability to work on a variety of issues with people, regardless of their political alliances.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Prentice brought “deep convictions” to his work as a lawyer, business leader and politician.

Jim Prentice is being remembered by several Central Albertans as a dedicated public servant who made a difference in Alberta.

He may best be remembered locally for saving Michener Centre.

Soon after he became premier of Alberta in 2014, he reversed a previous cabinet decision to close the Red Deer facility for people with developmental disabilities.

Prentice said that he had been quite moved after personally visiting Michener Centre.

Residents that had been relocated from the facility after the decision to close it was made were allowed to return if they wanted to, and those who were there could stay to live out the remainder of their

Prentice, who was 60, was one of four people killed Thursday evening when the small plane they had boarded crashed shortly after leaving the Kelowna airport, headed for the Springbank Airport just west of Calgary.

Red Deer MP Earl Dreeshen was quite saddened as he lost both a colleague and friend.

“Some bad news this morning that’s for sure,” he said.

“Jim is a good friend of mine. He was one of the first cabinet ministers that I got to meet when I went to Ottawa. … He was the kind of guy that would talk to you, would help you out if you had questions — just a personable kind of guy you just couldn’t find anybody better.

REACTION: ‘Our heart breaks for the family’ “I respected the work that he had done. He had been engaged in so many different portfolios and was always kind of our go-to guy.”

“I know his wife and family … Karen and the girls, (Christina, Cassia and Kate) I just feel so sorry for them. Any time a tragedy like that happens in a family and you know the people, you just realize how important a role that he had as a family member.”

“They worked very hard. Their whole lives as a family was public service,” Dreeshen said shortly after learning about the tragedy.

“It was just such a shock. I did phone home and let Judy (Dreeshen’s wife) know.”

“His desire to come back to Alberta and make a difference, I was happy that he had done that,” Dreeshen said.

“Very moved, hurt, devastated really by this news,” former Red Deer South MLA Cal Dallas said.

“Our heart breaks for the family. It’s a huge lost for Alberta, for Canada. The man was an extraordinary public servant over many, many years.”

Dallas said he worked with Prentice in three different ways — when Prentice was still a member of Parliament and minister, later when he was a senior executive with CIBC and Dallas was Alberta’s International Relations minister, and finally prior to and after Prentice became the leader of the Alberta Progressive Conservatives.

“But it was always the same. … He was very straight-forward, he was always working on an agenda to achieve something and I think that differentiates him. … Few would match his work ethic, his intensity, his desire to get things done,” Dallas said.

Prentice brought lots relevant pertinent experience to the public service and he used all of those tools extremely well, said Dallas.

“I feel today not much different the day we lost Manmeet Bhuller, which was not so long ago. It doesn’t matter what party you’re involved with.

When you know people that exercise passion for their province and for their country, you have a sense of deep loss. You really do.”

Bhuller, a Calgary MLA, was killed in 2015 after he had stopped to help another motorist in bad weather on the QEII north of Red Deer and was struck by another vehicle.

“We’re really saddened for the Prentice family but also there were three other people killed in the crash and we need to acknowledge that as well,” Dallas said.

Long-time local Conservative Jim Foster was also shocked to hear the news.

“I’ve always thought really very highly of him. I thought he was incredibly capable and I was thrilled that someone of his ability and his experience would come back and try to make a difference in Alberta.

“I know that things failed and they failed for a bunch of reasons but it wasn’t for any lack of effort and legitimacy on his part. So this is a shock to all of us.”

“So few people make the effort to make a difference in our society and Jim was one of those, when he could have very comfortably sat back and let somebody else carry the ball, but he didn’t. So I have immense respect for what he did and what he tried to do, and it’s a great loss to Alberta and to all of us.”

Red Deer Mayor Tara Veer expressed condolences of behalf of Red Deerians in a statement.

“Former Premier Prentice dedicated much of his life to public service, serving with intelligence, integrity, experience, and passion for issues such as aboriginal affairs, energy, and the environment, but above all leaving us with a profound sense of loss.”

“We have lost a friend and loyal advocate for Alberta and its people. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and closest friends at this difficult time,” said Veer.

Lacombe Mayor Steve Christie also issued a statement of condolences. “The residents of Lacombe join all Albertans and Canadians in offering our most sincere condolences to his wife Karen and his family at this difficult time.”

Premier Rachel Notley cancelled a visit to Red Deer Airport on Friday after learning of Prentice’s death. A grand opening celebration of an extension of runway had been planned, but the event was cancelled following the news about Prentice.

Alberta Premier Jim Prentice addresses a group at the Memorial Centre in Red Deer during a campaign stop.

Shortly after Prentice’s family issued a release about the tragedy and that Ken Gellatly, the fatherin-law of one of their daughters had also died in the plane crash, Premier Rachel Notley issued a statement.

“He served our province in so many roles for so many years. He deeply loved Alberta. He worked tirelessly for all of us, in the true spirit of one who is committed to public service. I benefited from his advice, and the Government of Alberta is continuing to pursue many of his initiatives. All Albertans are the better for this.”

“To all Albertans, I urge you to look at the faces of those we love and remember that every moment with them is a precious gift.”

Notley’s father, Grant Notley, was leader of the Alberta NDP and Leader of the Official Opposition when he and five other passengers died in a plane crash in Northern Alberta on Oct. 19, 1984. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

REACTION: ‘Highly respected and well liked’ “He was highly respected and well liked in the House of Commons, across all party lines, because he brought an intelligent, honest, and straightforward approach to everything he did,” Trudeau said at an event in Standoff, Alta.

“I greatly enjoyed my interactions with Jim. The time I spent working beside him, across from him in the House. And while we didn’t always share the same views, he was always incredibly kind and respectful to me, and I will miss him profoundly.”

Rona Ambrose worked in cabinet with Prentice and the interim Conservative leader said he served with “great distinction” in a number of federal portfolios, including aboriginal affairs and industry.

“It is a huge loss to the country,” she said in a statement. “He was a well-respected political leader and a business leader but we know he was most proud to be a father and grandfather.”

Prentice left politics after the Alberta Tories lost a more than four-decade lock on power to the NDP, led by Rachel Notley.

Notley said she spoke with Prentice’s wife, Karen, to express the “sorrow and sympathy” all Albertans feel at his death.

“He served our province in so many roles for so many years,” said Notley, whose father also died in a

plane crash in northern Alberta in 1984.

“He deeply loved Alberta. He worked tirelessly for all of us, in the true spirit of one who is committed to public service. I benefited from his advice, and the government of Alberta is continuing to pursue many of his initiatives.”

A team of investigators from the Transportation Safety Board was at the scene of the crash Friday near the community of Winfield, about 18 kilometres north of Kelowna.

Board spokesman Bill Yearwood said the Cessna Citation aircraft disappeared from radar suddenly at about 10:30 p.m. Thursday, which usually indicates that a plane flew into terrain but that wasn’t the case here.

“That’s the thing we’ll have to determine: why did this aircraft come out of the sky in an uncontrolled manner?”

Yearwood said the aircraft was completely destroyed and there was a fire after the crash.

“The thing that we’re hoping for is to see if we can find any recording devices onboard that can help us with determining a cause, otherwise it’s going to be a challenge.”

According to a preliminary Transport Canada report, the Cessna 500 jet owned by Norjet Inc. took off from Kelowna and climbed to an altitude of 8,600 feet before disappearing from radar.

“All attempts to establish communications were unsuccessful.”

The report says the aircraft, which was built in 1974, was under instrument flight rules at the time of the crash.

In a news release, Norjet says it will fully-co-operate with the Transportation Safety Board and will release further information once it knows more.

“Last night Norjet lost friends in the tragic crash near Kelowna and we are struggling to cope with that loss,” it says. “We are shocked and grief-stricken.”

The safety board said the plane went down in an area east of Wood Lake and there were no emergency calls or signals from the aircraft before the crash.

RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said its officers and a police dog reached the crash scene after midnight.

“We can describe the scene and the impact from the crash as catastrophic,” said Moskaluk.

Sam Samaddar, director of the Kelowna International Airport, said the plane left at 9:32 p.m. and the airport was notified that radar contact with the plane was lost at about 10:15 p.m.

The plane, which can carry up to eight passengers, crashed about 10 kilometres northeast of the airport, he said.

‘Everybody’s got to be part of the solution’

“Words cannot begin to express our profound shock and heartbreak at the news that our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Jim, has died in this tragic event. In addition, another member of our family was also on the plane, Ken Gellatly, the father-in-law of one of our daughters, also a very special man. To lose two family members at once is unbelievably painful and we are certain you will appreciate and respect our wishes for privacy at this time and the coming weeks. We are also thinking of the other families who have been affected by this tragedy and our thoughts and prayers are with them. In the time Jim has been with us, he was a friend to many. Jim was a loving and compassionate man who dedicated his life to his family and public service.

He will be so greatly missed.” — The Prentice family

Alberta Conservative Leader Jim Prentice speaks during a campaign stop in Edmonton.

JIM PRENTICE WAS KEY FIGURE IN CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Jim Prentice came of age “under the bins” of the Crowsnest Pass coal mines to emerge as Alberta’s 16th premier and one of the seminal figures of the modern-day conservative movement in Canada.

Prentice, 60, was confirmed Friday as one of four victims of a plane crash outside Kelowna, B.C. He had been out of politics for more than a year.

He quit public life in May 2015 when his Alberta Progressive Conservative government lost to Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP, ending more than four decades of Tory rule in the province.

Prior to that, Prentice was a cabinet member and key lieutenant under former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper, serving in the Indian and northern affairs, industry, and environment portfolios.

He spent almost all of his adult life in the political arena — in the back rooms and on the front lines.

Born on July 20, 1956, in South Porcupine, Ont., Prentice spent summers working in coal mines, breaking rocks in the heat and dust, as he earned a law degree.

“I always said I got my education

there,” Prentice said in a 2014 interview. “I learned teamwork, I learned respect for other people. I learned the fact that the smartest guy in the room is often not the guy you think is the smartest guy.

“Everybody’s got something to contribute and everybody’s got to be part of the solution.”

Five decades before that, Prentice only wanted to play hockey.

His dad, Eric, was a gold miner and former pro hockey player, a 17-yearold whiz-kid winger and the youngest player ever signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was a career minor leaguer, save for five games with Toronto in 1943.

As the gold mine business dwindled, Eric picked up his family in 1969 and moved to the coal mines in Alberta’s Rockies.

Hockey-wise, Prentice became a top-flight winger in his own right, but his promising junior career ended with a devastating knee-on-knee hit.

“I got creamed coming out from behind the net,” Prentice once said.

“That was it.”

From then on, he focused on university, graduating with a law degree and going to work in Alberta as a lawyer, mainly with land and property rights, as well as an entrepreneur.

In the background there was politics.

Always politics.

From age 20, Prentice worked for the federal and provincial Conservative parties taking a page, he said, from his parents’ involvement in their community.

A3

Save for one failed bid for elected office provincially in 1986, he stayed in backrooms as an organizer and bean counter. He made an agreement with his wife Karen, he said, not to get into the all-consuming elected life until their kids were older.

When he did run again in 2002, the federal conservative movement was a mess, fractured between the PCs and the Canadian Alliance.

Prentice urged reunification and, in 2002, stepped aside as the PC candidate in Calgary Southwest so that then-Alliance leader Stephen Harper could run unopposed to represent the centre-right.

In 2004, at age 47, he finally grabbed the brass ring, winning a Calgary riding for the newly merged Conservative party.

In 2006, Harper won a minority government and put Prentice in cabinet.

Over the following years, he was given high marks for his work in diverse portfolios.

But his defining moment, he said, came earlier, when the Conservatives were still the Opposition in 2005. Prentice decided to vote for a controversial Liberal bill endorsing same-sex marriage.

He said the pressure to vote no against it was incredible. “(But) I believe in the rights of individuals, including the rights of communities of faith,” he said. “There’s a duty to balance and protect the rights of everyone.”

“It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of former Alberta premier, Jim Prentice, who died last night in a tragic plane crash just outside of Kelowna. Jim was a man who brought his deep convictions to everything he turned his hand to — whether it was law, business, or politics. At each step of his career, Jim was a strong voice for the people of Alberta and for the people of Canada. He was highly respected and well liked in the House of Commons, across all party lines, because he brought an intelligent, honest, and straightforward approach to everything he did.” — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “I spoke with his wife, Karen, and expressed the profound sorrow and sympathy I feel, and that I know all Albertans feel, in the face of this unspeakable tragedy. He served our province in so many roles for so many years. He deeply loved Alberta. He worked tirelessly for all of us, in the true spirit of one who is committed to public service. I benefited from his advice, and the Government of Alberta is continuing to pursue many of his initiatives.” — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley “Jim was a friend and mentor to us all and his dedication to public service was an inspiration to everyone who had the honour of working with him.

Beyond this dedication and commitment to public service, Jim was a kind and generous man who always put his family first. Our deepest sympathies are with his wife Karen, their daughters and the entire Prentice family.” — Ric McIver, interim leader, Alberta Progressive Conservative party

More freezing rain in the forecast

BY ADVOCATE STAFF The weather is improving but Red Deer may not have seen the last of the freezing rain that saw city sanders out in force on Friday.

While day-time conditions today are expected to improve, Environment Canada says there is still a chance of freezing rain this evening.

The daytime high is expected hit about 5C with a 30 per cent chance of showers in the evening. Those could

become freezing rain as the temperature drops.

By Sunday, conditions are expected to clear with highs around 7C. Those who didn’t expect to make the switch to snow tires more than two weeks before Halloween might have been rethinking that strategy on Friday morning.

In Red Deer, city crews were out sanding roads at about 5 a.m. Roads were slushy at 8:30 a.m. with the combination of mostly freezing rain and a bit of snow, with some intersections

slick. Most drivers seemed to be adjusting to conditions and slowing down.

A few collisions were reported, including a multi-vehicle crash in the southbound lanes of Hwy 2 near Hwy 11A. A semi jack-knifed on Antler Hill south of Red Deer. In town, an accident east of Gaetz Avenue at the 67th Street bridge tied up traffic until it was cleared shortly after noon.

Environment Canada updated its freezing rain warning at 8:26 a.m., stating conditions were a “significant

SNOWY SLIDE

threat to transportation corridors.”

Three Central Alberta school divisions cancelled school bus runs Friday morning.

Chinook’s Edge cancelled all school buses, Wild Rose cancelled 24 buses, and Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools cancelled 38 buses as of 9 a.m.

Most schools were remaining open.

High school football games in Lacombe were also cancelled.

The freezing rain warning was lifted by mid-afternoon.

Star Warsthemed haunted house offers chills, thrills

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

“Council is adamant and made it very clear that Lacombe County is an agricultural community.”

Besides offering practical information on policies and programs, the guide sets out the county’s long-term vision for agriculture.

Reeve Paula Law called agriculture “symbiotic to life in Lacombe County,” in comments that accompanied the release of the guide earlier this week.

“We want to make sure it stays in the forefront, today and in the future, and the agricultural guide is a living document that will help ensure that.”

Central Alberta is the province’s second largest agricultural region, and Lacombe County ranks second among the region’s counties on farm receipts.

In 2010, those receipts tallied about $312 million.

Work on the guide began in the spring 2012. After much consultation with area producers and other stakeholders a draft version was completed last spring.

The guide is available online at www.lacombecounty.ca or at the county offices on Hwy 12 and Spruceville Road.

Red Deer’s most fatal attraction will soon be open for scary business.

The 26th annual Zed Haunted House opens on Tuesday.

Visitors to this year’s Star Warsthemed haunted house can expect a variety of new chills and thrills.

Event manager John Johnston said he is appreciative of the effort that goes into putting this together and the continued support from the city.

All proceeds from the event will go to the Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer District.

“It amazes me the number of hours, enthusiasm and the creativity of the people involved with this haunted house and the manner in which the community embraces this event each year,” he said. “It no longer is just a haunted house, but rather an event complete with fun activities, scares and entertainment for all ages.”

The haunted house will be located at the former Sport Chek store in Parkland Mall and will be open from 6 to 10 p.m. daily including Saturday and Sunday matinees from 1 to 4 p.m. until Oct. 31.

They set fire to the veranda of his home.

In the church where he was married and his children were baptized, Prentice arrived with his wife to find that day’s sermon was a warning about him.

In November 2010, he announced he would be leaving federal politics and taking on a post as a senior executive with CIBC. Four years later, he returned to the arena in Alberta, winning the leadership race for the provincial PCs and becoming premier.

Prentice promised to return Alberta to fiscal probity on a foundation of

business principles for a government still reeling from spending scandals of former premier Alison Redford.

He called the election a year early but, in 2015, ran into a buzz saw electorate ready for a change. The Tories won a handful of seats and were reduced to third-party status.

Prentice won his seat in Calgary-Foothills but told supporters, even as the results poured in on election night, that he was finished with public life.

“As leader of the party, I accept responsibility for tonight’s outcome. I also accept responsibility for the de-

cisions that led up to this evening,” he said.

“It is time for me to dedicate my time to other responsibilities I have as a husband, and as a father and a grandfather.”

In the year and half that followed, he rarely spoke about his time leading Alberta.

Earlier this year, he joined a think tank in Washington, D.C, the Canada Institute at the Wilson Center, as a visiting fellow.

He said he was also writing a book on energy and environmental issues.

Teaser trailer for local film online

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF A sneak peek is now available of a locally made film about human trafficking.

A teaser trailer of She Has A Name, a made by Red Deer’s Unveil Studios, can be seen at www.shehasanamefilm. com. Gritty scenes inside a bordello and a truck that’s trafficking adults and children can be seen in the trailer, which features a haunting soundtrack

by U.K. band New Portals.

With a script based on a successful stage play by Red Deer playwright Andrew Kooman, the feature-length movie was shot locally and on location in Thailand with a cast of professional actors.

Will Yun Lee of The Wolverine and Hawaii Five-O, Eugenia Yuan of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Memoirs of a Geisha, and Gil Bellows of The Shawshank Redemption and Ally McBeal are part of the international cast.

The film also stars Vancouver actor Giovanni Mocibob, Teresa Ting of New York, and Singapore’s Vanessa Toh. The dramatic thriller is based on a real-life case of human trafficking that came to light in Southeast Asia.

It explores the levels of international corruption that allow the sex trade to thrive.

Kooman said the future of too many girls and young women is being stolen by traffickers. He aims to highlight the work that’s required by the global community to free these women and

“ensure (their) future is safe… and secure.”

As part of the film’s distribution, global anti-trafficking agencies will be screening the movie through their networks. A portion of the proceeds from the film will support the work of these agencies to rescue and restore victims of human trafficking.

Kooman said the date for the local premiere of She Has A Name has not yet been set. A limited release for the film is planned in December, with a wider release in January.

Justice minister pledges to appoint more judges

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Canada’s justice minister says she’s poised to appoint a number of new judges to the bench following criticism from Alberta, where a first-degree murder charge was stayed because of an unreasonable delay in getting an accused to trial.

Jody Wilson-Raybould made the commitment Friday at the conclusion of a two-day meeting in Halifax with her provincial and territorial counterparts.

Raybould said she plans to announce more appointments in the “near future,” saying the federal government is reviewing the appointment process and the rate of vacancies in every jurisdiction.

Speaking after the meeting, Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley said

the province has the country’s lowest number of superior court justices on a per capita basis. The problem has been in the making for decades, she said, but the minister stressed that both levels of government understand the urgency of the situation.

“I’m confident that moves will be made expeditiously and they understand the seriousness of the concern on this issue,” Ganley told a news conference. “It’s really troubling to see the family of a victim who is not able to get justice … This is not an issue that arose overnight. This has been building up for years, for decades.”

A jury trial was to begin next week in Edmonton for a 29-year-old man accused of fatally stabbing a fellow inmate in August 2011, but a judge with the provincial Court of Queen’s Bench stayed the murder charge last Friday, citing a 62-month delay.

Earlier this year, a Supreme Court of Canada ruling — dubbed the Jordan decision — concluded that such delays must not exceed 30 months in superior courts. The decision also said cases at the provincial level should take not longer than 18 months.

Meanwhile, the Opposition federal Conservatives have taken aim at Raybould, accusing her of dithering on an important file. Critic Michael Cooper, an Alberta MP, has said the dozens of vacancies across the country could lead to thousands of cases being thrown out.

Raybould said the federal government’s comprehensive review of the criminal justice system will include a look at the way judges are appointed.

She said recent court delays have been caused by more than a shortage of judges, but she did not elaborate.

“We have been engaged in looking

at the vacancy rates in every jurisdiction and have taken a very concerted approach to our appointments,” she said.

In a mild-mannered statement released after the meeting, the justice ministers specifically cited their desire to end “delays in the completion of criminal cases.”

The statement also confirmed that the ministers spoke about another hot topic: the pending legalization of marijuana for non-medical use.

Raybould said she and her colleagues also discussed issues around public safety, cybercrime, radicalization, violence against indigenous women and girls, Ottawa’s national security consultation, policing services in indigenous communities, and the response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on residential schools.

Quebecers to rally for $15 minimum wage in Montreal

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Buoyed by the success of similar campaigns elsewhere, a coalition calling for a $15 hourly minimum wage in Quebec will cap off a summer of action with a demonstration in Montreal on Saturday.

Although the campaign for the $15 is nothing new, one of the organizers feels there’s been a “growing unanimity” that citizens cannot comfortably

Local BRIEFS Lacombe Police Service to open new building Lacombe Police Service’s close to $9-million police station officially opens for business on Monday.

Officers and civilian staff will move to the new site at 5301 Wolf Creek Drive.

The city decided to build a new station because the Lacombe Police Service had outgrown its existing downtown police station.

“We look forward to serving the community out of our new location with an improved level of service,” said Acting Chief of Police Lorne Blumhagen. “Finishing work on the new station will continue for the next few weeks, and any service interruptions will be temporary, and should not affect overall service delivery.”

The Lacombe Police Service (LPS), established in 1900, is one of the oldest municipal police departments in Alberta. LPS is dedicated to providing the highest quality of police service to the citizens of Lacombe.

An additional $300,000 had to be added to the $8.5-million cost when soil problems were identified and the need to move an old water line that did not appear on city plans.

“At $10.75, a person cannot live decently and with dignity,” said Daniel Boyer, the president of Quebec’s largest labour federation.

The U.S. states of New York and California have approved measures to gradually implement a $15 minimum wage, and Alberta passed regulations in September to follow suit.

In Quebec, striking workers at Montreal’s Old Port have made the issue a

Veterans will be served a free dinner at Hunting Hills High School next month.

Hunting Hills High School will host its third annual Veterans Dinner at the school on Nov.7.

Students will offer a free evening of food and entertainment.

“It’s nice to show that younger generations still care and still want to show their thanks for everything that they have,” said Madeline Butler, Veterans Dinner chairperson. “We don’t have to worry about living in a wartorn country, and this is a great way to say thank you.”

Students are collecting money within the school to pay for the meal. Any remaining money will be donated to the Red Deer Royal Canadian Legion or another fund in the area that helps veterans in need.

Sixty-five veterans attended the event last year.

The dinner will be served from 5:307:30 p.m.

ing high. The price of toilet paper, the price of food. Everything is going up except our salaries.”

Both Boyer and Lamour pointed to studies by a Quebec research institute that recently pegged a “viable” minimum living wage at $15.10 provincewide.

Lamour said the Old Port workers, who have been on strike since May 27, are not currently negotiating for $15 an hour as part of concessions they have made during the bargaining process.

“I’m proud to be able to bring a higher profile to the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum at an international level,” she said.

ISHA is a non-profit membership organization that look to educate, promote and support organizations and individuals engaged in the celebration of sports heritage.

The organization includes nearly

150 members from different countries around the world.

Hateley attended a ISHA conference in late September where she had the opportunity to network with sports halls of fame from all over North America and China.

Hateley appointed to sports heritage board of director A Red Deer woman was given the nod to promote sports heritage on an international level.

Donna Hateley, managing director of the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in Red Deer, has been appointed to the International Sports Heritage Association’s board of directors.

Hateley said she is honoured and privileged to be part of the ISHA board of directors.

‘Everyone is on edge right now’ THREE YOUTH SUICIDES IN NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LAC LA RONGE, Sask. — Aboriginal leaders and the prime minister say a crisis is unfolding in northern Saskatchewan after three young girls took their own lives and there are fears more young people are at risk.

Two girls from Stanley Mission committed suicide last week and a third girl from La Ronge, who had been in hospital after an attempt to kill herself, died in recent days. All were between the ages of 12 and 14.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the issue of youth suicides on reserves has gone on for far too long.

“We are working together with the government of Saskatchewan and others to ensure that we can put an end to the tragedy of young people taking their lives,” Trudeau said Friday while in Medicine Hat, Alta.

“It’s something that has to stop.”

The communities are part of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band, where Chief Tammy Cook-Searson called the deaths heartbreaking.

“I think everyone is on edge right now, not knowing when you are going to get the call,” Cook-Searson told MBC News.

“The parents are worried because we have a number of youth who have been identified as high risk — not just in Stanley Mission, but in other communities.”

Cook-Searson said there have also been nine suicide attempts in the past week and more than 20 youths are considered at risk.

The provincial government said some of the higher-risk youth were sent to Prince Albert to be assessed by a psychiatrist, while the others were sent home with a safety plan and appropriate supports after they were assessed by a health professional.

Greg Ottenbreit, Saskatchewan’s minister of rural and remote health, said it’s a tragic situation and helping the community is a priority.

“Everybody is very attentive to the situation and supporting them as best as we can,” he said.

Ottenbreit also said the health board chair has told him that the community is in touch with parents because of speculation of a suicide pact.

Assembly of First Nations Chief Perry Bellegarde, who is from Saskatchewan, said suicides are happening far too often in northern communities.

The aboriginal youth suicide rate is five times the national average, said Bellegarde. Earlier this year, a string of suicide attempts garnered international media attention in Attawapiskat in northern Ontario.

“There’s a sense of hopelessness, that’s what’s go-

ing on,” Bellegarde said from Vancouver.

He questioned where wellness and recreation supports are for those communities.

“Obviously not enough hope is being provided for our young ones if they’re looking at taking their lives.

So it’s a crisis.”

Health Canada said in a statement that it has been in touch with Cook-Searson and others in Stanley Mission about providing mental health therapists. It will help fund costs for three mental health therapists to provide counselling to at-risk youth on Fridays and Saturdays until the end of December.

But the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, which represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan, said Health Canada should have had extra supports in place a long time ago.

“But the point is we’re here now and what do we do now in this present day and age?” vice-chief Bob Merasty told CJWW. Merasty said support for youth contemplating suicide has to be more than just the clinical help they are currently receiving.

The focus has to change to being proactive, affirming youth of their value and building up their confidence so they walk proudly and embrace their culture and spirituality, he said.

Federal disaster aid coming for Cape Breton

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Canada’s public safety minister promised to provide financial help to flood-ravaged parts of Cape Breton as quickly as possible Friday, following a tour of communities hit by a storm fuelled by the remnants of Hurricane Matthew.

Ralph Goodale shared his impressions of the damage and the stress it caused for the people he met during a visit to the Sydney area while accompanied by provincial Transportation Minister Geoff MacLellan and Cape Breton MPs Mark Eyking and Rodger Cuzner.

“It’s one thing to hear about it long distance,” Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS Goodale told reporters. “It’s quite a different thing to actually visit it in person and meet the people who The effects of the tail end of Hurricane Matthew are shown in this images from Norris Arm, Newfoundland are affected and sense the real shock and trauma on Tuesday.

Clark blasts Ottawa over fuel spill

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — As crews scramble to contain and clean up a diesel spill in waters off British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest Premier Christy Clark lashed out Friday at the federal government’s inadequate commitment to disaster response on Canada’s West Coast.

Experts in wildlife recovery and oil removal from environmentally sensitive areas are among those dispatched to Bella Bella where a 30-metre tug pushing an empty fuel barge ran aground and sank Thursday.

Bella Bella is located more than 1,150 kilometres northwest of Vancouver and is accessible only by boat or airplane.

The United States registered Nathan E. Stewart was in Seaforth Channel about 20 kilometres west of Bella Bella when it ran aground.

“I have argued for five years now since I became premier that the spill response that we had on our coast is totally inadequate, not just for what some people argue should come if pipelines come from Alberta,” Clark said in Vancouver. “It’s not adequate for what we have now going up and down our coast.”

Clark said B.C.’s marine shipping zones are already busy without considering possible additional traffic for pipelines and liquefied natural gas.

“We need an increased coast guard presence and British Columbia has been cheated by the federal government for decades now when they’ve been spending money on the East Coast in terms of coast guard but not spending it on the West Coast,.” Clark said.

Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc said in a statement in reply that protection of Canadian waters is a top issue and the federal government is aware of the concerns of coastal communities.

“The prime minister has mandated my colleagues and I to work to increase marine safety, including augmenting the capacity of the coast guard, improving environmental responses and enhancing partnerships with Indigenous communities,” said LeBlanc.

An incident command report issued Friday by the federal and provincial governments, local First Nations and the tug company stated that two fuel tanks were leaking and that crews had managed to pump out almost 25,000 litres from the tug’s fuel tanks.

The tug, which was loaded with 226,875 litres of diesel, is currently submerged under nine metres of

Canada BRIEFS Feds warned infrastructure cash could be lost without stricter vetting process OTTAWA — The federal infrastructure minister was told earlier this year that the government needed to change how it doles out infrastructure cash to ensure billions in new spending doesn’t go to waste.

The Liberals have promised to spend $60 billion over the coming decade on upgrading and transforming the country’s infrastructure.

During a January event at the University of Ottawa, Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi and

It said booming to contain leaking diesel did not stay in place Thursday night due to weather conditions and the empty barge broke away from the tug.

The barge is now safely anchored at the mouth of Dundavan Inlet, stated the report.

A boom to contain the fuel was re-established around the tug on Friday.

The weather will also be a factor with a warning of gale-force winds Friday night and Saturday.

A shoreline cleanup team is in the area and Heiltsuk Nation members are providing details of sensitive zones.

First Nations groups and B.C. New Democrat MP Nathan Cullen renewed calls for a tanker ban on B.C.’s North Coast, while the area’s Heiltsuk Nation

expressed fears the spill will impact sensitive sea life.

“The Nathan Stewart ran aground in crucial habitat for herring, salmon, clam, kelp and other species vital to our nation’s survival,” said William Gladstone Sr., Heiltsuk Nation director of herring operations, in a letter to the federal and B.C. governments.

Coastal First Nations, an alliance of nine B.C. aboriginal groups, said the spill comes less than a month after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were in Bella Bella to endorse the Great Bear Rainforest for the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy.

“Now it’s time for the Crown to do its part by dealing with this incident and the management of future tanker traffic on a nation-to-nation basis on the North Coast,” Chairman Kelly Russ said.

his top officials were told that up to a third of that potential economic impact could be lost without changes to the government’s funding process, where officials check receipts and issue payments.

Sohi was told that tightening the vetting process by forcing cities and provinces to provide more details on projects could reduce that loss by up to two-thirds and in some cases double the impact of investments and the subsequent economic output.

The warning and recommendations were the first of many that Sohi and the federal government have heard as the Liberals prepare for the second and more costly phase of the infrastructure program that is a cornerstone of their economic plans.

“That type of approach could be very good in this environment,” said former parliamentary budget officer Kevin Page, who helped host the January event.

“What we often don’t really understand as citizens, and there are even MPs that are sitting in legislatures, why did we pick this project and not another project? And I think with a performance framework, that kind of transparent reporting,

people will have a better understanding.

Montreal seeks right to appeal ruling that suspended pit bull-related measures MONTREAL — Quebec’s highest court will rule whether Montreal can appeal a lower court decision that put its controversial pit bull measures on ice pending a legal challenge.

Lawyers for the city appeared in the Court of Appeal on Friday and argued the pit bull rules are in the public interest.

Montreal even seemed willing to make some concessions: a city lawyer promised no pit bulls would be euthanized until the legal challenge is fully heard — something that could take several months.

Justice Manon Savard will deliberate before ruling at a later date, but suggested the city and the SPCA, which is challenging the law, should talk.

Hard work pays off for Rebels GAME AGAINST MOOSE JAW WARRIORS INCLUDED A WILD SEVEN-GOAL SECOND PERIOD

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Rebels 6 Warriors 4 Not all victories are pretty. In fact a lot of them come down to hard work and simply competing harder than your opponent.

Such was the case Friday as the Red Deer Rebels took a 6-4 victory from the Moose Jaw Warriors in Western Hockey League play before 4,389 fans at the Centrium.

‘IT WASN’T BEAUTIFUL … NOT A PRETTY GAME, BUT WE STILL BATTLED, COMPETED AND PLAYED HARD. IT WAS JUST IN OUR MINDSET AT TIMES. WE WEREN’T VERY SMART IN SOME THINGS WE DID. WE TOOK TOO MANY PENALTIES THAT HURT US AT CERTAIN POINTS IN THE GAME, BUT THAT’S SOMETHING WE’LL LEARN FROM.’ — REBELS GM/HEAD COACH BRENT SUTTER “It wasn’t beautiful … not a pretty game, but we still battled, competed and played hard,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter.

“It was just in our mindset at times. We weren’t very smart in some things we did.

“We took too many penalties that hurt us at certain points in the game, but that’s something we’ll learn from.”

The second period was especially wild with seven goals scored.

The Rebels grabbed a 2-0 lead on goals by Colton Bobyk and Austin Pratt, but the Warriors took advantage of a string of Red Deer penalties to score three goals in three minutes and 45 seconds to take the lead. Luka Burzan connected on the power play at 12:41 with Jayden Halbgewachs scored at 13:24 and 16:26. The second once again on the power play.

“It was tough taking all those penalties in the second period, we were shorthanded about half the period,” said Pratt, who pulled the Rebels even, backhanding his own rebound past Moose Jaw netminder Brody Willms 17:14. Adam Musil put the Rebels ahead at 18:23.

Red Deer Rebel Austin Pratt looks to get a shot past Moose Jaw Warrior goaltender Brody Willms during first-period action at the Centrium Friday night. at 1:25 of the third period when he was left alone in the slot.

However, Pratt notched his first WHL hat trick at 11:43, shovelling home a loose puck into an open net after Grayson Pawlenchuk poked it free from Willms.

Michael Spacek put the lid on the scoring with an empty net marker at 19:42.

One hit of Lindor’s bat sinks Blue Jays

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Indians 2 Blue Jays 0 CLEVELAND (AP) — Francisco Lindor hit a tworun homer and Corey Kluber silenced Toronto’s booming bats, giving the Cleveland Indians a 2-0 win over the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the AL Championship Series on Friday night.

Lindor connected in the sixth inning off Marco Estrada and raced around the bases like a track star as the bend-but-don’t-break Indians won their fourth straight playoff game in this most unexpected season.

Kluber, Cleveland’s solid and stoic ace, pitched 6 1/3 spotless innings before manager Terry Francona turned things over to the Indians’ best weapon — their bullpen.

Andrew Miller struck out five of the six batters he faced and Cody Allen got the save with a perfect ninth.

Toronto slugger Jose Bautista struck out three times and Edwin Encarnacion lost his cool when he was fanned in the eighth, jawing at plate umpire Laz Diaz.

After getting their first ALCS win since 2007 — and tying their longest postseason win streak since 1920 — the Indians will try to take a 2-0 lead Saturday with Josh Tomlin facing Toronto’s 20-game winner, J.A. Happ.

Tomlin was originally scheduled to start Game 3, but was moved up when Trevor Bauer sustained an odd injury as he sliced open his right pinkie while repairing a drone.

Kluber kept flying in the postseason.

The right-hander has not allowed a run in 13 1/3 innings this October and he kept the Blue Jays inside Progressive Field after they teed off against the Texas Rangers in the Division Series.

Toronto had some early chances, putting six runners on in the first three innings. But the Blue Jays failed to come up with a timely hit and lost for the first time in the postseason.

Estrada carried a four-hit shutout into the sixth before walking Jason Kipnis with one out. Lindor was in an 0-2 hole before the shortstop, who could become a household name before this series ends, drove his homer over the wall in right-center. Lindor pumped

his fist as he rounded first and he didn’t stop smiling or slow down until he crossed home plate.

Kluber dodged some early trouble and held the Blue Jays, who hit eight home runs and scored 22 times in their ALDS sweep of Texas, to six hits in the first six innings. The Indians needed every out they could get from Kluber, who shut out Boston for seven innings in his postseason debut 10 days after he injured a quadriceps in a start against Detroit.

The 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner, who will certainly get votes this season after winning 18 games, has been the only dependable starter all season for Cleveland, which lost starters Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar to injuries in September and are now dealing with Bauer’s mishap.

Kluber walked a tightrope over the first three innings, when the Blue Jays mounted what turned into idle threats.

Toronto had two on with one out in the first, but Kluber struck out Bautista and retired Russell Martin on an easy grounder. The right-hander was on shaky ground again in the second, allowing a single and walk before getting Devon Travis to ground into an inning-ending double play. In the third, Kluber gave up a single and a walk with two outs before striking out Martin.

COMEBACK KID Blue Jays lefty Francisco Liriano will be eligible to pitch Saturday after recovering from a concussion sustained in the ALDS when he was struck in the head by a line drive. Toronto played with a 24-man roster in the opener as Liriano remained in baseball’s seven-day concussion protocol. As a result, RHP Marcus Stroman — Toronto’s projected starter in Game 3 — was available in relief for Game 1.

TRAINER’S ROOM Travis left in the fifth after aggravating a right knee injury. He sat out the final two games of the Division Series with a bone bruise.

UP NEXT Blue Jays: Happ struck out 11 and allowed one run over seven innings in beating the Indians on July 3. He was second in the AL in wins, going 20-4 with a 3.18 ERA. Happ picked up the victory in Game 2 of the ALDS against Texas, allowing one run in five innings.

Oilers McDavid’s three-point night seals win against Flames

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Oilers 5 Flames 3 CALGARY — Connor McDavid took the NHL’s early scoring lead on Saturday with his second-straight three-point night to lead the Edmonton Oilers to a 5-3 win over the Calgary Flames on Friday night.

After scoring his third goal of the season on a first-period breakaway, the 19-year-old helped set-up the tying goal in the second and the go-ahead goal early in the third as Edmonton completed a sweep of the home-and-home series.

Leon Draisaitl scored twice, including an empty netter, for Edmonton (2-0-0), while Jordan Eberle and Mark Letestu also scored.

Sean Monahan and Michael Frolik replied for Calgary (0-2-0), which falls to 0-5-1 in its last six home openers. The Flames immediately fly to Vancouver

to play in the Canucks’ home opener on Saturday.

Tied 2-2, Monahan’s penalty 42 seconds into the third period put the Oilers on the power play for the fourth time with them converting for a second time.

McDavid began the tic-tac-toe sequence that went to Milan Lucic then across the crease to Draisaitl.

Five minutes later, Dennis Wideman’s turnover led to a short-handed breakaway for Letestu, who beat Brian Elliott to make it 4-2.

Jokipakka wired a shot top corner on Cam Talbot off a feed from Kris Versteeg to get Calgary back within one with 7:44 to go but they couldn’t complete the comeback.

Trailing 2-1 after a first period where they were outshot 24-12, Edmonton tied it 5:25 on the man advantage when Eberle knocked in a loose puck.

Calgary got on the scoreboard early with Monahan putting in a second rebound after Deryk Engelland hit a goal post and Johnny Gaudreau was stopped.

McDavid tied it on his second breakaway of the

period when he tore away from Mark Giordano and zipped a shot over the shoulder of Brian Elliott.

Frolik restored the lead when his shot from the sideboards slipped past Talbot, who didn’t appear to see it.

Elliott had 24 saves. The veteran acquired in the off-season to be the Flames No. 1 goalie was beaten six times on 27 shots on Wednesday.

Talbot had 32 saves as the Oilers improved to 2-0.

He had been peppered for 42 shots in Edmonton’s 7-4 win at home.

Notes: The 24 shots in the first period were one off the Flames franchise record for shots in a period, done twice before (1988, 2005)… Calgary’s only lineup change came on defence, inserting Jokipakka for Nicklas Grossmann… Edmonton made two changes with Eric Gryba replacing Brandon Davidson on the blue-line and Anton Lander coming in for rookie Anton Slepyshev up front… The final two games in the season series are both in January.

Burris leads the Redblacks to victory

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Ottawa 30 Hamilton 29 HAMILTON — Henry Burris ran for two touchdowns and passed for another as the Ottawa Redblacks beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 30-29 at Tim Hortons Field in CFL action on Friday night.

Ottawa stops a two-game skid and solidifies its spot atop the CFL East standings with a (7-7-1) record. Hamilton (6-9) loses its third in a row but remains in second.

Burris scored twice for Ottawa, on one-yard and five-yard plunges and Ernest Jackson grabbed a 62-yard pass-and-run.

Terrence Toliver, John Chiles, CJ Gable, Junior Collins scored TDs for Hamilton.

Burris was making only his fifth start of the season after being injured (finger) and then losing his job to Trevor Harris. He hadn’t started under centre since Week 9 in mid August against Montreal, but made the most of this appearance against his former team.

Hamilton quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, starting for Zach Collaros who is out with a concussion, threw three touchdown passes and two interceptions.

Ottawa kicker Chris Milo hit all three field-goal attempts, from 31, 27, and 35 yards.

Hamilton kicker Brett Maher missed his only attempt of the night, a 47-yarder wide right for a single that would have given the Ticats a lead in the final 2:23.

Ottawa was up 20-7 on the strength of Burris’ two TDs when the Hamilton comeback began.

Hamilton pulled to 20-14 on its first possession of the third with a five-yard TD pass from Masoli to Chiles that capped a 36-yard, five-play drive set up by a 27-yard punt return by Brandon Banks. Next possession, Masoli led a 56-yard drive ending with a six-yard TD rush by Gable, back after missing three games due to a lower-body injury. Hamilton was up 21-20.

But Ottawa shocked Hamilton right after with a 62-yard pass-and-run from Burris to Jackson and the Redblacks were up again 27-21 heading into the fourth.

Hamilton took the 28-27 lead when Masoli capped a 72-yard, five-play drive with a 20-yard TD strike to a lunging Collins in the back of the end zone for his first score of the season. Ottawa regained the lead next possession with Milo’s 35-yard field goal.

With 2:23 on the clock, Hamilton’s Maher missed his 47-yard field-goal attempt wide right but got the single to pull Hamilton to 30-29. Ottawa drove 74 yards in eight plays to run out the clock.

Ottawa Redblacks’ Patrick Lavoie (81) is tackled by Hamilton Tiger-Cats linebacker Larry Dean (49) during the first-half of CFL football action in Hamilton on Friday.

Hamilton opened the game with a 68-yard scoring drive that ended with Masoli lofting a ball 34-yard touchdown pass over defender Jerrell Gavins to Toliver for a quick 7-0 lead. But the Ticats wouldn’t get another sustained drive again for the rest of the half, instead committing a fumble (Andy Fantuz) and two interceptions.

Ottawa responded immediately to the Hamilton TD with a drive for a 38-yard field goal by Milo for 7-3, then later with a 53-yard, 11-play drive highlighted by a 15-yard run to the one-yard line by Mossis Madu that set up Burris’ TD sneak to take the 10-7

lead.

On their next possession, Burris led a 64-yard drive on eight plays that ended with his five-yard TD plunge and a 17-7 lead.

Hamilton did stop Burris on one drive — sacking the QB at second-and-goal from the 13, and recovering his fumble on the 23-yard line with 2:58 left in the half. But the ensuing Ticat drive ended with Masoli throwing a 48-yard bomb into the end zone looking for Banks, but finding Ottawa’s Forrest Hightower for the interception. That turned into a 27-yard field goal and the 20-7 halftime lead.

Explosive starts key to Stampeders successful season

Toronto Argonauts head coach Scott Milanovich is looking for a little redemption when his team hosts the Saskatchewan Roughriders today at BMO Field.

Argonauts aim to close out home schedule with a win

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BMO Field hasn’t exactly been home sweet home this season for Scott Milanovich and the Toronto Argonauts.

Toronto (5-10) finishes its regular-season home schedule Saturday afternoon hosting the Saskatchewan Roughriders (4-10). The Argos are just 2-6 at their new stadium and have dropped four straight and eight-ofnines games overall.

Toronto’s lone win over that span was a 33-21 decision against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sept. 11, which incidentally marked the last time the club was victorious at BMO Field. The Argos opened the season well enough, winning four of their first six games, before falling into their present funk.

“We haven’t done particularly well anywhere after the first six games of the season,” Milanovich said matter of factly. “The only real honest answer I can give you is we just haven’t had very much continuity in any phase — offence, defence or special teams.

“It’s an excuse, for sure, but we play well in spurts and for quarters … but we haven’t been able to keep it together the way we had the first three quarters. There’s 10-to-12 plays going on out there that are keeping us from being able to find ways to win.”

Defensive lineman Bryan Hall was at a loss to explain Toronto’s home struggles.

“I honestly can’t,” he said. “We’ve been busting our tails all year and unfortunately we haven’t had those breaks yet.

“We have one more game at home guaranteed and we want to make the best of it and finish strong.”

Despite the mounting losses, Toronto remains in playoff contention, albeit just barely. The Argos are third in the East Division behind Ottawa (6-7-1) and Hamilton (6-8-0), who meet at Tim Hortons Field this weekend to open an

important home-and-home series.

To make the playoffs, Toronto must either finish second in the East Division or amass as many or more points than the West Division’s fourth-place team. The latter would seem difficult given the Edmonton Eskimos (8-7) currently stand fourth in the Western conference with three regular-season games remaining.

And seeing the Argos winning out is difficult considering Saskatchewan comes in having won three straight games. And after Saturday’s contest, Toronto takes to the road play Calgary (14-1-1) and Edmonton.

Still, Milanovich remains undeterred.

“If you’re around the CFL long enough you know it’s never over until it’s over,” Milanovich said. “Eight (wins) will generally get you in and we’re still in position where we can win eight (games).

“Beyond that, we’d need a lot of help if we weren’t to win three. You know it’s possible (but) you hate to take it out of your hands and that’s what we’ve done.”

But Toronto must first contend with a Saskatchewan squad brimming with confidence following wins over Edmonton, Hamilton and Ottawa. And then there’s the unpredictability of Chris Jones, the Riders’ head coach and vice-president of football operations. Milanovich knows Jones well from their time together in Montreal as well as Jones being Milanovich’s defensive co-ordinator with the Argos in 2012-13 “They tend to be fairly aggressive anyway,” Milanovich said. “Any time you play coach Jones, you expect him to go for it or a fake punt on the oneyard line, any of those things.

“You know you have to be prepared for them. I wouldn’t anticipate that they’ll hold anything back.”

CALGARY — Scoring early and often is tactically freeing, says Calgary Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson.

The Stampeders have put the ball in the end zone on their opening drive in four straight games.

They’ve scored at least 10 points in the opening quarter in six of their last seven. Calgary (13-1-1) has trailed after the first quarter just twice this entire season.

Scoring on a first possession isn’t just energizing for the Stampeders and deflating for their opposition, it keeps options open.

“It’s a lot easier to play with a lead on both sides of the ball,” Dickenson said. “Defensively you can be a little bit more aggressive because if you give up something you know you already have a lead.

“Offensively, your whole playbook is available to you. Your run game is there, your play action game is there.

When you’re behind by quite a bit, it can shorten down what you can do on both sides of the ball.

“As a coach, if they can take what you’re giving them and they can apply it on the field right away, you feel pretty good about your game plan.”

A bright light in an otherwise rocky season for the Montreal Alouettes (4-10) is their defence, specifically against the pass.

They’ll need it Saturday at McMahon Stadium. Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, his backs and receivers have been ruthlessly efficient on first drives lately.

“I feel like we’ve been pretty hot lately at the start as far as coming out there, first drive, a hot drive, getting a lot of yards, going out and scoring a touchdown and putting a two-point conversion up,” Mitchell said.

Another early lead Saturday would likely limit time on the field for Mitchell and other Stampeder starters as the game’s result doesn’t impact Calgary’s playoff position.

They already know they’ll be the host team of the West Division final Nov. 20.

The Als are not out of playoff contention in a tight East Division race.

They’re two points back of the Toronto Argonauts (5-10) holding down third spot.

Montreal is 1-1 since general manager Jim Popp was stripped of head coaching duties and Jacques Chapdelaine promoted from the offensive coaching staff to replace him.

In four starts since veteran Kevin Glenn was traded to Winnipeg, Rakeem Cato has averaged 225 passing yards and thrown six touchdowns, but has been sacked 15 times.

The Alouettes were a loose and relaxed group during Friday’s walkthrough at McMahon. Chapdelaine encourages it.

“We have to understand that playing with a sense of urgency does not

Calgary Stampeders coach Dave Dickenson is a win away from the CFL record for wins by a rookie coach in a season. mean you’re going to be playing uptight,” Chapdelaine said.

“A lot of people have discounted us a little bit. We do have a great situation in front of us. Every game is as meaningful as they’re ever going to get. You don’t have to do the math anymore. You just have to be free and play football.”

Both teams are coming off a short week after Monday games. The Stampeders secured first in the West with a 48-20 win over Toronto, while the Als fell 40-20 to the Edmonton Eskimos.

The buzz around the Stampeders, unbeaten in 14 games, is can they become just the second team in CFL history to win 16 regular-season games in the 18-game era? A 16-1-1 record would be the best of the era.

“We’re both playing for something,” Montreal slotback Nik Lewis said.

“When you’ve locked up first place, you tend to take your foot off the pedal, but they’re playing for a legacy, for the greatest record in CFL history.”

With 82 catches this season for a career 957, Lewis is nine back of Allen Pitts for fifth all-time in the CFL. Just over 800 of the 34-year-old’s receptions came during his decade as a Stampeder.

Dickenson is a win away from the CFL record for wins by a rookie coach in one season. Adam Rita (1991), John Hufnagel (2008) and Mike Benevides (2012) each finished their respective seasons 13-5.

NFL sends $300,000-plus aid relief HELP FOR INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC EFFORTS IN AREAS AFFECTED BY HURRICANE MATTHEW

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The NFL, through its foundation, has pledged a minimum of $300,000 to aid in international and domestic relief efforts in areas affected by Hurricane Matthew.

The NFL Foundation’s contributions will support relief organizations such as the American Red Cross, Salvation Army and UNICEF. A total of $100,000 will go to the Salvation Army and UNICEF to support relief efforts and assist victims in impacted areas of the Caribbean, including Haiti and the Bahamas.

An additional $100,000 will go to the American Red Cross to aid in relief and recovery efforts in impacted areas of the United States.

Also, the foundation will help restore youth and high school football programs in impacted areas of the Southeast. Together with USA Football, the NFL will replace damaged or lost equipment and uniforms, as well as address other needs, spending at least $100,000.

Six NFL teams have pledged to support Hurricane Matthew relief efforts, as well: Arizona, Atlanta, Carolina, Jacksonville, Miami and Washington. ✭✭✭ BAD LOSS: Losing a bet anytime is painful. Having to pay up by wearing gear from a college rival is much worse, at least according to Tennessee Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo .

The Texas alum bet with teammate DeMarco Murray on last week’s Red River Showdown and lost big when Oklahoma beat Orakpo’s Longhorns 45-40. Orakpo showed up Monday wearing a Sooners hoodie.

“I fought it hard, but I’m a man of my word,” Orakpo said. “I’m going to pay my bets and I got to wear this trash, but I’ll burn it when I’m done after the week.”

Betting on college games is very popular in NFL locker rooms, with friendly wagers made almost weekly. Orakpo said many players simply wager with money, which is easily dismissed.

“We kind of wanted to make it sink in a little further with hoodie for the week for that particular team, and obviously you know what the outcome was,” Orakpo said.

Adding to the pain, Orakpo said he knows a photo of him in the Oklahoma hoodie will make the rounds, particularly back home in Texas. A native of Houston, Orakpo said he never considered attending Oklahoma.

“I’m a man of my word. I pay my debts, and I’ll burn it when I’m done,” Orakpo said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8A3YScPOwc ✭✭✭

New England Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady, seen here catching a pass in practice, earned offensive player of the week honours following his suspension for ‘Deflategate.’

POPULAR BRADY: Tom Brady not only got a win in his first game back from his four-game “Deflategate” suspension, he earned offensive player of the week honours in the AFC with his 406-yard, three-touchdown performance.

The Patriots quarterback also was No. 1 elsewhere: Brady’s jersey became the top seller this week, according to DICK’s Sporting Goods Jersey Report.

Brady’s popularity also moved New England to the top spot in overall jersey sales. One of his favorite targets, tight end Rob Gronkowski, came in sixth, according to DICK’s.

Brady outdid Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell who served a three-game suspension to start the season. Pittsburgh has won twice since Bell returned and he is at No. 16 in jersey sales, an improvement of 40 spots from when he was suspended.

Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was the only rookie in the top 30, landing fifth overall.

✭✭✭ RODGERS ON PRESCOTT: Aaron Rodgers waited for three years behind Brett Favre in Green Bay, and figures Dak Prescott will soon be in a similar position behind Tony Romo even though the Dallas rookie has the Cowboys at 4-1 without their injured 10-year starter.

From Rodgers’ point of view, it’s first a matter of Prescott accepting the economics.

“You have to understand that the team has a lot invested in the guy in front of you most of the time, and you’re going to get an opportunity,” said Rodgers, a two-time MVP. “You’ve just got to be patient.”

Even with Prescott on the verge of an NFL record for pass attempts without an interception to start a career (second at 155 behind Tom Brady’s 162), Rodgers says the 23-year-old former Mississippi State standout will have to accept that it may soon be his team — just not now.

“Maybe soon, maybe in a couple of years,” Rodgers said. “He’s doing nothing but helping himself right now the way he’s shown those guys his leadership style and his play and his consistency.”

Prescott sounds as if he never had to adjust his thinking in the first place.

“This is Tony’s team,” he said. “I knew that going into the situation. I think everybody knew that.

I’m just trying to do the best I can to give my team a chance to win week in and week out.” ✭✭✭ POLYNESIAN FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME: Former NFL players Riki Ellison, Chris Naeole, Ma’a Tanuvasa and ex-CFL player Junior Ah You have been selected for the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2017.

Ellison has Maori ancestry, Naeole has Hawaiian, Tanuvasa and Ah You Samoan.

Also selected as a contributor is John Manumaleuna (Samoan ancestry), whose foundation seeks to use the unique perspective of Samoan and Polynesian cultures to promote education and a healthy lifestyle through sports.

“The class of 2017 has won five Super Bowls, two Grey Cups and a college football national championship,” says former NFL offensive lineman Jesse Sapolu, the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame co-founder and chairman. “They represent the very best of our Polynesian people.”

The class of 2017 will be honored during the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame enshrinements Jan. 21-22 in Hawaii. Inductees will also be recognized at the inaugural Polynesian Bowl, a senior high school all-star game featuring players of Polynesian heritage and other ancestries.

Piercy keeps a 2-shot lead until darkness at Safeway NAPA, Calif. — Scott Piercy keeps finding ways to score even when he’s not making a lot of putts.

Piercy pitched in from 40 yards for eagle on the par-5 ninth hole Friday, helping him keep a two-shot cushion at the rain-delayed Safeway Open until it became too dark to continue.

A steady rain that fell on Silverado for most of the bleak day halted the second round for 2 hours, 36 minutes as water began to pool on the tee boxes and the corners of the greens. The delay meant the second round could not be completed until Saturday morning.

Bill Haas had a 2-under 70 in the morning and finished 36 holes in 8-under 136.

Piercy, who opened with a course-record 62, made only one of his four birdie chances until his eagle at No. 9, and he followed with a 10-foot birdie on the next hole to reach 14-under par.

He missed a 5-foot birdie on the 12th hole, his last of the day.

Johnson Wagner was at 12 under and had a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-3 15th hole when he decided to wait until morning. Paul Casey, who opened with a 64, recovered from two bogeys late on his front nine with three birdies over his next four holes. He was 11 under through 12 holes, ending his day with a

35-foot birdie putt.

“In my mind, I wanted to shoot 3 under on the front,” Piercy said. “And luckily, I was able to do that.”

Piercy converted only one of four reasonable birdie chances, making a 7-foot putt on the par-5 fifth hole. The next par 5 was into the wind, though he was mildly surprised that a 3-wood came up so short of the green in the first cut.

“I had a good angle, though, kind of shooting straight up the green,” he said. “When you make it from 40 yards, it’s luck. I hit a good shot. I landed it pretty much where I wanted to and it reacted good.

Whenever it goes in, that’s a bonus.”

No one from the afternoon starters finished the second round, which was to resume at 7:45 a.m. PDT. The third round was to be played in threesomes off both tees, though more rain was in the forecast for the weekend.

Haas was hopeful of at least staying close to the leaders. That depended on Piercy, Wagner and Casey, and perhaps a few others.

Haas was one of the “replacements” for Tiger Woods, in this case taking the spot that had been set aside for Woods in the early-round groups. Haas doesn’t know why he was chosen. He just considered it a treat to be able to watch the exploits of Phil Mickelson and the rhythmic swing of defending Emiliano Grillo.

Kings open title defence with a win in Calgary Kings 3 Trojans 0 CALGARY — The RDC Kings opened defence of their Canadian Colleges championship with a 25-14, 26-24, 25-23 victory over the SAIT Trojans in Alberta Colleges Men’s Volleyball League play Friday.

Regan Fathers led the Kings with 13 kills and two aces while setter Luke Brisbane had 32 assists, four blocks and four digs. Matt Lofgren added eight kills, Brian Grenier six kills and Daimyn Biletsky six kills and four digs.

Queens 3 Trojans 2 The Queens had a battle on their hands before pulling out a 25-19, 1825, 25-19, 23-25, 15-10 victory over the Trojans.

Miranda Dawe turned in a brilliant performance for the Queens, finishing with 19 kills, two aces, 26 digs and three blocks. Megan Schmidt added seven kills and three blocks, Jessica Jones six kills, three aces and eight digs, Hanna Delemont four kills, four digs and three blocks and Brittany Davis four kills, four aces and four digs.

Chanelle Kayser, who transferred to RDC this season from SAIT, started at setter and accumulated 30 assists.

The RDC teams host SAIT tonight with the women getting underway at 6 p.m., followed by the men. The Kings will raise their CCAA championship banner prior to their match.

three games.

“I felt good … I’m starting to play the way I should and it’s starting to reward me,” he said. “I thought in the third period I got away from it, but I settled down and played the way I needed to.”

“Pratter is playing well,” said Sutter. “There’s still some things in his game as a younger player he has to learn and get better on, but he certainly generates some stuff. He uses his big body and big frame and his skating has improved a lot from last year. Part of that is physically maturing. The thing is he finds the net, has a good shot and uses his strength as an advantage.”

The win gave the Rebels a 4-3-1-1 record while Moose Jaw dropped to 4-2-2-0.

The Rebels visit the Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook today and return home for a pair of games next weekend — Friday against the Calgary Hitmen and Saturday against the Prince Albert Raiders.

REBELS: Battled and competed The Warriors finished three-foreight on the power play while Red Deer failed to score on two opportunities, including a five-minute major in the first period when Tanner Jeannot was ejected for boarding Rebels defenceman Alexander Alexeyev. In fact the Rebels managed just one shot on goal over the five minutes.

“From a coaching perspective we don’t like a team taking eight or nine minor penalties, it puts you in a tough spot,” said Sutter. “But the kids found a way. We battled and competed and got the two points.”

Pratt has five goals on the season, with all five coming in two of his last

And they were able to watch Haas post the lowest score from the group.

Haas made it through the tough conditions brought on by rain Friday morning at least got him into the mix going into the weekend of the PGA Tour season opener at Silverado.

Haas was at 8-under 136, the low score among those who finished 36 holes. Mickelson had another 69 and was at 6-under 138. Grillo played bogey-free after the delay for a 70 and was at 5-under 139.

Woods had planned to play at Silverado and even entered the tournament on Friday. The PGA Tour decided to arrange the groups so that Woods played with Mickelson and Grillo. Woods, however, withdrew on Monday saying that his game was “vulnerable” and not where it needed to be.

Haas took that spot in the group, and all three have put on a good show.

Grillo had a 35-foot birdie putt that he left 10 feet short on the 11th hole, his second of the round, when the rain was at its worse. He made it through the back nine without any more mistakes, and then ran off three straight birdies on the front nine .

Mickelson returned from the rain delay in much worse shape. The driver slipped out of his hands on his first shot at the par-4 13th and led to a snap-hook out-of-bounds.

He managed to make a 10-foot putt to escape with bogey .

Belgian region rejects trade deal CANADA, EU RACE TO PERSUADE RESTIVE WALLOONS TO ABANDON OPPOSITION

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canadian and European politicians are scrambling to save their coveted free trade agreement after a Belgian region voted Friday to reject the deal.

They are working into the weekend to persuade Belgium’s Walloons to abandon their opposition to the deal before a key meeting this coming Tuesday in Europe.

EU trade ministers meet then to vote on the pact, a week before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is to join his EU counterparts at a summit in Brussels, where the two sides are hoping to sign the deal.

Ministers from all 28 EU countries must unanimously approve the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement, or CETA, on Tuesday or it is effectively dead after seven long and sometimes controversial years of negotiation.

Please see TRADE on Page B7

OTTAWA — The legislature of the restive Belgian region of Wallonia voted Friday by a 46-14 margin to oppose the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and European Union. Here are five things to consider about that.

1. So who are the Walloons?

They are the 3.5 million inhabitants of a mainly French-speaking region that makes up much of the southern half of Belgium. It is one of three such self-governing regions in the country, joining Flanders and the Brussels-Capital region.

2. What have they got against CETA? Wallonia’s politicians believe the deal will be bad for their farming and industrial sectors, because they won’t be able to compete with cheaper Canadian exports. The concern comes in the wake of complaints by environmental activists and trade unions that this deal and others will erode standards for food, work and industry.

3. Why can’t the Belgian government just ignore them and approve the deal?

Wallonia, like its two regional counterparts, has the

PIPELINE SPILLS

power to withhold its approval of the deal from Belgium’s national government because of the country’s constitution — even though the Flanders and Brussels regions are OK with it.

4. How can CETA be saved?

Wallonia leader Paul Magnette said “we have to say no so we can negotiate” better labour, environmental and legal standards. Some have said that the five-page “joint interpretative declaration” that is to be added to the CETA text could be given the force of law and could clarify some of what the Walloons view as objectionable in the treaty 5. What happens next?

Various Canadian and European politicians, including French President Francois Hollande, are pushing Magnette to abandon his region’s opposition. As of Friday, the Walloons had yet to serve formal notice on their Belgian national counterparts that they will oppose the deal. People are working throughout the weekend to change Magnette’s mind.

REFINERY SCARE

Ottawa cuts size of proposed emergency fund

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The federal government is reducing the suggested size of an emergency fund pipeline operators would be required to have on hand to deal with short-term costs of incidents such as spills.

Natural Resources Canada says the fund proposed under its new Pipeline Safety Act would reduce the minimum amount of “readily available” money to at least five per cent of a company’s liability from the 10 per cent proposed when consultations on the act began more than a year ago.

If adopted, regulations would require a large company with capacity to transport at least 250,000 barrels of oil per day to demonstrate it can cover cleanup bills of $1 billion. The “readily available” fund requirement at five per cent would thus be $50 million, versus $100 million at 10 per cent.

No such fund was required under previous pipeline rules.

The federal department said the reduction, which was published as part of draft regulations last Saturday in the Canada Gazette, would be sufficient based on the costs of previous pipeline spills.

It cited the two largest spills in Canada between 2007 and 2014 that cost $137 million and $42 million, respectively, to clean up.

But Daniel Cayley-Daoust, an energy and climate campaigner for the Council of Canadians, says the department should also consider damage from spills outside of Canada, pointing out that Calgary-based Enbridge has estimated US$1.2 billion in cleanup costs from its 2010 pipeline oil spill into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan.

“We need to take a look at all of the data out there and make sure we have a complete picture,” he said.

Program manager Patrick DeRochie of Environmental Defence said in an email the reduction is a “weakening” of financial safeguards for pipeline spill response and “raises questions about the oil industry’s power in Ottawa.”

Chris Bloomer, president and chief executive of the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association, said the new pipeline act’s requirement for proof of a company’s financial strength is supported by industry.

“The updated percentage more accurately reflects the ready cash required to initiate response, and in no way reduces the ultimate liability of operating companies,” he said in an email.

Spokesmen for TransCanada and Enbridge said the large pipeline companies have more than enough financial strength to satisfy the proposed regulations at either percentage.

The proposed regulations would require smaller oil pipeline companies to cover an absolute liability of either C$200 million or C$300 million, depending on the size of their pipeline network.

The absolute liability limit is the sum for which the pipeline company is responsible regardless of the cause of the incident. It’s designed to ensure cleanup proceeds as quickly as possible without delays caused by wrangling over who will pay for what.

The regulations are in a 30-day discussion period.

They are expected to be finalized and implemented early next year.

Fed mortgage changes inject uncertainty into real estate market, CREA says

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The federal government’s recent changes to mortgage lending rules have injected uncertainty into the real estate market, the president of the Canadian Real Estate Association said Friday.

The measures — which include an expansion of a stress test for borrowers that takes effect Monday — could deter first-time homebuyers, said Cliff Iverson, who represents more than 100,000 real estate brokers across the country.

“The finance minister’s recent changes to regulations affecting mortgage lending has added to housing market uncertainty among buyers and sellers,” Iverson said in a news release.

“For first-time homebuyers, the stress test for those who need mortgage default insurance will cause them to rethink how much home they can afford to buy.”

Gregory Klump, CREA’s chief economist, said the effects on first-time homebuyers will likely trickle down.

“First-time homebuyers support a cascade of other homes changing hands, making them the linchpin of the housing market,” Klump said in the same statement.

“The federal government will no doubt want to monitor the effect of new regulations on the many varied housing markets across Canada and on the economy, particularly given the uncertain outlook for other private sector engines of economic growth.”

Markets where the supply of available homes is tight, such as Toronto, are likely to be affected the most, said Klump.

The federal government said it introduced the rule changes in response to concerns about eroding affordability and overstretched consumers, particularly in the Toronto and Vancouver markets.

The new rules — which will include stress tests for all insured loans — will help stabilize the market by preventing buyers for taking on bigger mortgages than they can afford, Finance Minister Bill Morneau has said.

CREA’s comments came as it released figures for home sales last month, which saw a 0.8 per cent increase nationally compared with August. Compared with a year ago, the number of home sales was up 4.2 per cent from September 2015.

“I think it’s a blip on the radar,” Klump said in an interview, referring to the uptick in sales volume.

“I think the tighter mortgage regulations are more likely to cause sales to recede than they are going to contribute to an increase in sales.”

Home sales in the Toronto region rose while they continued to fall in and around British Columbia’s Lower Mainland region, which includes Vancouver.

Sales in and around Vancouver have fallen sharply since the August implementation of a 15 per cent tax on foreigners purchasing homes in the city.

“The million dollar question now is whether foreign investment has shifted east and Toronto has become the new Vancouver,” TD Bank economist Diana Petramala wrote in a report.

The national average price for a home sold in September was up 9.5 per cent compared with a year ago at $474,590. Excluding the expensive Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto regions, the average price was $358,884 last month.

Alberta Human Rights act prohibits discrimination CHARLES STRACHEY WORKING WISE Dear Working Wise: I run a health-focused service business. My staff and I try to model healthy lifestyles to help inspire our clients to improve their own health. Can I ask job applicants if they smoke? If so, can I only hire non-smokers?

The facts in each case determine if the worker has a drug dependency, e.g., is the person addicted, does their addiction limit their functions, etc.

For example, a B.C. arbitrator determined that an employer’s non-smoking policy discriminated against heavy smokers—ruling that nicotine addiction is a disability (Cominco Ltd. Vs. U.S.W.A. Local 9705, February 29, 2000).

Disabilities are a protected ground under the Alberta Human Rights Act. Employers can’t discriminate against job applicants they discover with a disability, including an addiction.

In fact, employers have a duty to accommodate job applicants and current employees who have a disability to the point of undue hardship.

If an employer discriminates against a job applicant or terminates an employee without exploring accommodation options, the employee may have the basis for a human rights complaint.

The S&P/TSX composite index shed 58.72 points to 14,584.99 as stocks in gold lost nearly three per cent of their value.

Other subsectors also declined — stocks in materials dropped 1.54 per cent, health care stocks went down by 0.74 per cent and stocks in energy fell 0.56 per cent The December gold contract fell $2.10 to US$1,225.50 per troy ounce. The November crude contract slipped nine cents to US$50.35 per barrel.

The decrease in the price of oil is normal volatility, said Craig Jerusalim, a Canadian equities portfolio manager at CIBC Asset Management.

Jerusalim expects crude prices to continue to rise if a recent commitment by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to limit oil production turns into action, specifically if Saudi Arabia — one of OPEC’s 14 members — stands behind it at the expense of losing its market share.

In the U.S., stock market indexes fared slightly better as traders continue to seek clarity on when the U.S. Federal Reserve would raise interest rates. The central bank has had its interest rate range locked at 0.25 per cent to 0.5 per cent for months.

The Canadian dollar closed at 76.07 cents US, up 0.34 of a U.S. cent.

The loonie is probably where it should be relative to the U.S. dollar given the state of both countries’ economies, Jerusalim said.

“The Canadian economy is just not as strong as the U.S. economy,” he said.

U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen spoke at an economic conference in Boston on Friday. She did not say when the central bank would raise rates, but it is expected to do so in December. Such a move would reflect America’s strengthening economy.

The U.S. also released retail sales data Friday that Jerusalim said solidly met expectations.

The Commerce Department said spending on restaurants, cars and gas improved in September.

That data further supports the notion of a rate hike in December not rocking the boat too much, Jerusalim said.

Elsewhere in commodities, November natural gas contracts fell 5.6 cents to US$3.285 per mmBtu and December copper contracts slipped 1.15 cents to US$2.11 a pound.

TRADE: Glimmer of hope remains Europe’s ability to unanimously approve the deal was dealt a setback Friday when the legislature of Belgium’s Wallonia region voted to reject the deal.

The Wallonia vote can’t be dismissed outright because the Belgian constitution gives its three regional governments — Wallonia being one of them — a potential veto over the deal. Without the region’s support, Belgium’s national government can’t move forward.

A glimmer of hope remains.

As the week ended, the regional government had not yet formally told its federal counterpart in Brussels that it was not supporting the deal.

Friday’s parliamentary vote is not binding on the regional government so a major diplomatic push was immediately mounted to persuade Paul Magnette, the Wallonia leader, to back away from his pledge to withhold his region’s support from Belgium.

French President Francois Hollande asked Magnette to come to Paris on Friday to discuss the matter, a move seen by some as an unprecedented outreach by the leader of the French republic to an otherwise small, regional government.

“The president of the republic, as we speak, is meeting with the head of the Walloon government, in order to lift the last hurdles and to allow this deal to be signed,” the visiting French Prime Minister Manuel Valls told a news conference in Quebec City with Premier Philippe Couillard.

“There are a few days left to convince our Walloon friends and to allow the signing of the deal by Belgium.”

Couillard said he didn’t want to reopen the deal, a possibility Magnette

But he said a five-page declaration of principles that is to be added to the massive text of CETA might hold the key to persuading the Walloons.

“He (Magnette) wanted to be assured that the declaration has as much force as the treaty itself. And I think we can head in this direction. Let’s see what the next few hours will bring.”

Pierre Pettigrew, a former Liberal trade and foreign minister recently appointed by the current Liberal government as a special trade envoy, also held talks Friday with Magnette in Paris.

Jesse Canady brings out a new load of generators at The Home Depot in Monkey Junction near Wilmington, N.C., as Hurricane Matthew travels up the East Coast. U.S. businesses increased their stockpiles and their sales in August, a possible sign of stronger growth in the closing months of 2016. The Commerce Department says inventories rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2 per cent between August and July.

Weak inventory restocking has been a drag on growth during the first half this year, reducing the pace at which the economy can expand.

Non-hydro renewable power share grows to 11%

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The National Energy Board says a building spree in non-hydroelectric renewable power projects between 2005 and 2015 took its share of overall capacity in Canada from two per cent to 11 per cent.

Non-hydro renewable power such as wind, solar and biomass grew more than sixfold over that same time frame, rising from 2,360 megawatts to 15,600 MW. NEB chief economist Shelley Milutinovic says Canada is now the fourth-largest generator in the world of environmentally friendly power from sources including wind, solar, biomass and hydroelectric plants.

Renewable power capacity increased by 26 per cent from about 75,000 MW in 2005 to nearly 95,000 MW last year, according to the federal regulator’s report, Canada’s Renewable Power Landscape.

The report says hydroelectric power capacity grew by about nine per cent to more than 79,000 MW during the decade.

Coal-fired power capacity declined by 39 per cent to 9,800 MW and natural gas capacity increased by about 75 per cent to 19,660 MW. “I think that’s one thing people don’t really understand (is) just how significant on a world scale Canada is on the renewable front,” said Milutinovic.

“It is fourth in the world on renewables after China, the U.S. and Brazil and it’s second in the world in terms of hydro production. Only China is bigger.”

She says she expects renewable power to continue to grow thanks to support from governments and consumers.

“Almost every province and territory has some sort of policy to encourage or promote renewables or support them,” she said.

“Things like Alberta moving off coal by 2030, 50 per cent renewables for power generation in Saskatchewan by 2030, all of those things offer strong support for renewables.”

Overall, renewable power capacity made up 66 per cent of Canada’s overall power capacity last year, up from 62 per cent in 2005.

The report says that 11 per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions came from the electricity sector in 2014, the latest year for which statistics were available. That’s down from about 16 per cent in 2005.

From 2000 to 2014, emissions from the electricity sector fell 40 per cent, the report says, due mainly to the phase-out of coal in Ontario and initiatives to reduce emissions in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Ontario and Nova Scotia have seen the largest gains in renewable power generation from 2005 to 2015.

CP Rail says late harvest is delaying grain movement seeks collaboration

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. (TSX:CP) says a delayed harvest means the railway has moved less Canadian grain than at this time last year or on average over the past three years.

The Calgary-based company says it’s standing ready to move what’s expected to be close to a record crop, but the grain’s not yet ready to move.

The warning comes as farm groups worry about a repeat of a rail bottleneck in 2013-2014, which also had a large harvest.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture has called on Transport Minister Marc Garneau to ensure railways don’t abuse their role and to maintain limits on how much profit they can make from grain transportation.

CP Rail said Friday that it’s going to launch a scorecard to track perfor-

mance of the different players in the grain supply chain, not just the railway.

“We remain committed to working with the supply chain to move Canadian grain to market, as opposed to the finger-pointing of the past,” CP chief executive Hunter Harrison said in a statement.

“Our supply chain is built to deliver grain throughout the year and depends on all the various pieces working together collaboratively. Our new supply chain scorecard will help tell that story while holding us and the rest of the supply chain accountable.”

Canadian Pacific also said it has written to the federal ministers of transportation and agriculture in order to outline its preparation for the 2016-17 crop year.

Garneau’s office has said that he will meet with members of the grain industry next week.

World BRIEFS Brother: Syrian suspected in bomb plot ‘excited about life’

Syrian Civil Defence workers search underground in rebel-held eastern Aleppo, Syria.

Fresh wave of airstrikes hit Aleppo

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — Syrian residents in the opposition-held eastern part of Aleppo hunkered under a fresh wave of airstrikes on Friday amid intense clashes between government forces and rebels, while a senior opposition official warned that supplies of food and medicines were fast running out in the besieged city.

The aerial bombardment is part of a weeks-long devastating military campaign by Syria and Russia that the opposition says has killed dozens of people in the past three days alone.

President Bashar Assad has expressed his intention to recapture the northern city’s rebel eastern neighbourhoods, saying that a military victory in Aleppo would provide the Syrian army with a “springboard” from which to liberate other areas of the country.

“You have to keep cleaning this area and to push the terrorists to Turkey to go back to where they came from, or to kill them,” Assad said in an interview with a Russian media outlet, Komsomolskaya Pravda, released on Thursday.

“There’s no other option,” he added.

Syrian government forces have encircled the eastern half of Aleppo, besieging tens of thousands of people and pounding the territory with airstrikes on daily basis. The siege and deadly bombardment has caused an international outcry with a number of countries and groups accusing Syria and Russia

Questions swirl around release of Chibok girls

of war crimes in connection with attacks on medical facilities and aid convoys.

Mohammad Fadelah, the head of the Aleppo Provincial Council, said the opposition had brought in enough supplies to Aleppo under an emergency plan that would last six months. But he said that with the recent escalation and bombing of hospitals and bakeries, supplies were quickly running out.

“We have emergency reserves but I think we can maybe go another month with what we have. Flour will run out in a month,” he told reporters by telephone Friday from the city of Gazientep in southern Turkey. He estimated there were around 275,000 people in the besieged, eastern Aleppo.

President Barack Obama planned to convene his National Security Council for a highly anticipated meeting about Syria on Friday. Having cut off diplomatic talks with Russia after a cease-fire in Syria failed, the Obama administration has been at a loss to find a new viable strategy to stem the violence even as the bloodshed in Aleppo and elsewhere continues to mount.

The violence also gives additional urgency to the upcoming meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on efforts to find a peace deal in Syria in Switzerland on Saturday. It will be the first face-toface contact between the two men since Washington broke off bilateral diplomatic contact with Moscow earlier this month.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG — Conflicting reports emerged Friday about whether the first negotiated release of some Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria in 2014 involved a ransom payment, a prisoner swap for Islamic extremist commanders, or both.

A Nigerian hostage negotiator who was not involved in Thursday’s release told The Associated Press a “handsome ransom” in the millions of dollars was paid by Switzerland’s government on behalf of Nigerian authorities. He said the Swiss would recoup the money from some $321 million it had said it would repatriate to Nigeria this year from frozen funds looted under former military dictator Sani Abacha.

Swiss officials confirmed Thursday that they had played a neutral, humanitarian role in the operation. And the International Committee of the Red Cross confirmed that it had received 21 Chibok girls from Boko Haram and handed them over to Nigerian authorities.

But Swiss officials said no ransom had been paid. “Switzerland never pays ransoms in cases of hostage-takings,” Jean-Marc Crevoisier, a spokesman for the Swiss Foreign Ministry, said in an email.

“The restitution of the Abacha funds ($321 million) has no connection to the liberation of the young girls,” Crevoisier said. The restitution of those funds is still being worked out and will be carried out through a program monitored by the World Bank, he said.

Nigerian authorities have said negotiations continue for the release of the remaining 197 missing girls.

BERLIN — A 22-year-old Syrian man suspected by German authorities of planning to carry out a bomb attack was looking forward to life in Germany the last time they spoke, his brother said Friday.

Jaber Albakr was found dead in a cell at Leipzig prison Wednesday, two days after being arrested on suspicion of plotting to attack a Berlin airport using homemade explosives.

But Alaa Albakr insisted that his brother had no violent intentions and that he would never have committed suicide because that is forbidden by Islam.

“He sounded like he was excited about life and like he was ready to resume his life in Germany,” he said of the last time he spoke to his younger brother.

The account he gave in a telephone interview from Syria was sharply at odds with the portrait painted this week by German officials, who cast Jaber Albakr as a pawn of the Islamic State group whose violent plans were only narrowly intercepted.

Federal prosecutors said Albakr, who was granted asylum in Germany last year, was planning to carry out an “Islamist-motivated attack.” Authorities found 1.5 kilograms of “extremely dangerous explosives” that could have been used to make a suicide vest at an apartment he had been staying at in the eastern city of Chemnitz.

Viva la Mad Forest’s revolution RED DEER COLLEGE’S PRODUCTION A POWERFUL AND CHILLING PLAY

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

MAD FOREST REVIEW

The revolutionary flag of Romania — with the Communist emblem cut from its centre — was unfurled during a moving moment in Red Deer College’s production of Mad Forest.

The symbolism of a flag with a missing centre gradually becomes apparent in this chilling and powerful play by British playwright Caryl Churchill, which opened Thursday in Studio A of the RDC Arts Centre.

The thoughtful script — written after interviews with actual Romanians just months after the revolution — focuses on two families who have been hollowed out by years of oppression under Nicolae Ceaucescu’s dictatorial Communist regime.

The Vladu clan can’t have a discussion within their own home without turning up the radio, in case spies are planning to inform on them to the Securitate (Romania’s secret police).

It turns out Lucia Vladu’s parents are in upheaval because she’s bent on marrying an American — thereby jeopardizing the whole family’s standing in the Socialist Republic.

Not only are Lucia’s mother and father about to be demoted from their jobs, but her sister Florina has become a persona non grata in the eyes of her boyfriend’s social-climbing family, the Antonescus, who don’t want to risk their status by associating

with undesirables.

Certainly this is love in a dangerous time. But two weddings eventually take place — the first during the Communist era, and the second after Ceaucescu’s government is overthrown and he’s executed along with his wife on Dec. 25, 1989.

By the time of the second nuptials, the cold reality of having to rebuild the country from the ground up begins to dawn on a populace that’s still paranoid and distrustful of neighbours and politicians — and now more susceptible to the destructive forces of nationalism, including prejudice against minorities and conspiracies.

It’s clear the hole in Romanian society won’t heal overnight.

The talented second-year theatre students, under the direction of Thomas Usher, do a tremendous job of bringing to life a tumultuous period of history that many of us will remember from the TV news. The uniformly strong ensemble is made up of Michael Bentley, Maggie Chisholm, Veronika Fodor, Vanessa McCagg, Theo Grandjambe, Taylor Osiowy, Thomas Zima, Tanner Chubb, Stuart Old, Ryan Garbutt, Sara Fowlow, Jelena Minshall, Ronnie McLean, Michael Richards, and Kira Kirkland.

This isn’t an easy vehicle for the young actors.

But they dive headlong into the creation of multiple characters — including a metaphoric vampire, arch-

angel and dog. They manage to deliver some lines in Romanian, and pull off convincing East European accents and attitudes — particularly in a scene involving a tedious wait in a food queue.

The memorable revolutionary scene is shiver-inducingly visceral as the actors recreate the crippling fear, disbelief and heady excitement of a week in which the unthinkable finally happens. The scripted descriptions of Dec. 21-25, 1989, were transcribed from actual Romanians who lived through the revolution.

More than 26 years after Churchill was commissioned by London’s Central School of Speech and Drama to travel to Romania with 10 students to research the play, Mad Forest remains relevant, especially given this summer’s near coup in Turkey.

Not all the messages are easily digested, but the sometimes surreal script says a lot about human nature and packs a hard punch. While the second act is slower moving than the first, it should clear up questions the audience may be left grappling with at intermission.

At its conclusion, Mad Forest feels open ended, but then the question of what comes after the fall of the Iron Curtain is still being asked today.

Everything about this play — from its graffiti-scrawled cement set to the oddly unfashionable East European costumes — rings true, presenting a fascinating glimpse of recent history.

It runs to Oct. 22. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Key pretrial hearing set for Cosby case

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Gord Downie has been added to the WE Day lineup in Toronto and will perform a song from his upcoming Secret Path solo album.

Downie will perform twice on Wednesday at the Air Canada Centre, first at the afternoon WE Day Toronto event and then at the evening We Day Family concert.

The Secret Path album, which is accompanied by a graphic novel and animated film, is inspired by the story of 12-year-old Chanie Wenjack, who died in 1966 after running away from the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School near Kenora, Ont. Downie’s performance will be followed by a speech from his brother Mike Downie, who introduced the singer to Wenjack’s story, and a healing song performed by Pearl Wenjack, sister of Chanie Wenjack.

WE Day, launched by Canadians Craig and Mark Kielburger, is billed as “a celebration of youth making a difference in their local and global communities.”

The event has grown from its Toronto roots to include similar shows across Canada and internationally.

“I believe that each of us has a unique story to tell, and am honoured to have the opportunity to share a meaningful message with thousands of young Canadians and their families, who like me, believe that change is possible,” said Downie in a statement.

“Today’s youth have the power to build a stronger nation — they have the potential to be a generation of leaders who lead us on a path toward change.”

Other speakers and performers taking part in the WE Day festivities include YouTube star Lilly Singh, Macklemore, the Barenaked Ladies, Nelly Furtado, Rick Hansen and Margaret Trudeau.

PHILADELPHIA — A crucial pretrial hearing set for next month in Bill Cosby’s criminal sex-assault case will determine whether jurors hear from 13 other accusers and see the damaging testimony he gave in a 2005 civil case.

Prosecutors in suburban Philadelphia hope to call the other women to try to show that the actor-comedian has been drugging and molesting women since the 1960s. Defence lawyers have promised a showdown over their testimony, arguing that the blind, 79-year-old Cosby can no longer even recognize the women, least yet recall details of any encounters.

“Because of the commonwealth’s delay, Mr. Cosby can no longer defend himself,” defence lawyers Brian McMonagle and Angela Agrusa wrote last week in a motion to dismiss the charges. “Compounding the problem are the vague allegations of many of the accusers about the time and place of the alleged incidents.”

The criminal case involves only a single 2004 encounter with Andrea Constand, who met Cosby at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he was a famous booster and trustee and she managed the women’s basketball team. Her lawyer said she was dating a woman at the time and went to Cosby’s home for advice about a career change.

Cosby, in a 2006 deposition, said they engaged in consensual “petting” that included digital penetration. Cosby also acknowledged giving her three unlabeled blue pills for stress. Constand said she thought it was herbal medication until they left her in a stupor.

Cosby’s felony sex-assault trial is scheduled for June 5 in Norristown, about 32 km northwest of Philadelphia. The pretrial hearing is scheduled for Nov. 1 to Nov. 2.

Approach mother-in-law with the right tone HARLAN COHEN HELP ME HARLAN Dear Harlan: My mother-in-law is a well-intentioned person, but she comes over unannounced, criticizes our parenting and is an overall negative person. When she takes care of our two children, she rarely follows our directions. I’ve mentioned this to my wife, but she just brushes it off. We appreciate saving money on child care, but she would have been fired long ago if she was not a family member. Whenever I bring these issues up to my wife, she tells me to just deal with it or let it go. I’m getting to the point where I feel I need to talk to her mom for her. Do you suggest I speak to her mom if she won’t do it?

Fed Up Dear Fed Up: See the pattern? Your wife doesn’t want to talk to you about the problem. She doesn’t want to talk to her mom about the problem. And she probably grew up in a home where you don’t address problems. Those are the sources of your problems. Instead of talking to your mother-in-law about what’s happening, you need to talk to your wife. You need a united front. Threatening to talk to her mom won’t do anything to help your relationship with your wife. She needs your love and support. You need to make it safe for her to talk to you about the problem. You need to find out what your wife is feeling.

Do it in a way that’s safe. No threats. No anger. Just her thoughts. This will be the first step. You need to know if she agrees with you. Once you can have an aligned front, you’ll be able to plan how to move forward. The answer might be finding alternative child care, having a conversation with her mom or a combination of the two. You may never be able to control your mother-in-law’s behavior, but you can work to create a united front. Once you do, you might be very surprised to see that her mom is open to changing – if she’s approached the right way with the right tone. ✭✭✭ Dear Harlan: I’m in a group project, but I’m the one doing all the work. There are three other members of the

group, but no one seems to do their job. When I say something, everyone makes promises and then makes excuses. I end up stepping in and doing all the work. I want to approach the professor and explain the situation. It doesn’t seem fair that my partners should get equal credit for doing less work. I’m angry and totally frustrated. Should I say something?

Working Too Hard Dear Working Too Hard: Tattletale. Seriously, that’s how it will look to the people you tell. Yes, you’re doing all the work. Yes, it’s totally unfair. But yes, you also are learning more than anyone else. You’ll also get a great grade. Call this practice for the future. Your life will be filled with people who do the minimum. The only person you can control is you. I don’t see how telling your professor is going to win you anything. All it’s going to do is make you look like you can’t communicate with people in your group. It’s only going to upset the people in your group. Instead, find a way to motivate the group. Explain how you feel to your team. Make it clear what you want and what you need. Don’t keep your feelings a secret. If no one responds to you, find a new group next time. ✭✭✭ Dear Harlan: I went on a great first date with someone I thought was my perfect guy. The second date was a disaster.

He opened up about his past, his dark family secrets and everything else that no one wants to hear on a second date. This included what he wanted to happen with us. It was way more than I wanted to know.

He keeps texting and calling for another date. What was he thinking? I don’t want to hear about getting married on a second date. I want to move on, but he’s not going away. Should I tell him the truth? I feel like he shouldn’t overshare the next time he falls for someone.

Too Much Info Dear Too Much Info: You’re cold. Why can’t you return a text or answer a call? Why are you such and under-sharer? This guy felt a connection and opened up to you. I know you didn’t like his approach, but ignoring him is cruel.

At the very least, you can tell him that you’re not in a place to get so close so soon. If you want to offer more information, you can let him know that while you enjoyed the first date, you found the second date too intense; you just move at different paces. It’s not

that hard to be honest. You’re probably angry because you liked him and he didn’t give you what you wanted. Maybe a little honesty will help him. Yes, he opened up too soon, but that’s not a good reason to close down and ignore him. ✭✭✭ Dear Harlan: My roommate is having a lot of drama with her boyfriend from home who goes to another school.

She’s always crying and screaming on the phone. She screams at her mom, too. I need to leave the room when she has a breakdown and not come back for hours. I’ve even had to spend the night on a couch in the lounge because it went on for so long. What can I do about this?

Upset Roommate Dear Upset Roommate: As a rule, people who create drama generally are not happy people. She’s not in a good place. She’s not a happy person. Please don’t let her screaming be what defines her to you. I hear her screaming as a big cry for help. She needs a calming force in her life. She needs someone who isn’t going to judge her, get agitated or blame her. I know this is not what you signed up for, but this is your roommate. What can you do to help? You’re doing it. Give her space when she’s a raging, out-of-control roommate. Once she calms down, you can talk to her. Acknowledge the conversations, and ask her the best way to respond when she’s having one of these conversations.

You can tell her that you want to support her. Ask her, “In addition to leaving the room and giving you space, what can I do?” Explain that you don’t know when to come back in. Come up with a plan. Ask her to text you when things have calmed down so that you can come back in the room. You can bring all this up to her when she’s not on the phone screaming. If you want to be a compassionate roommate, appreciate that she’s going through changes. Your kindhearted, compassionate approach will make it clear that you’re in her corner. ✭✭✭ Harlan is author of Getting Naked: Five Steps to Finding the Love of Your Life (While Fully Clothed and Totally Sober) (St. Martin’s Press).

Young American adults have zero saved for the future 48 PER CENT OF ALL U.S. RESIDENTS BETWEEN 18 AND 30 HAVE NOTHING IN RETIREMENT SAVINGS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP) — Young Americans with even just $1 saved for retirement are ahead of the pack.

Forty-eight percent of all Americans aged 18 to 30 have zero in retirement savings and no access to a traditional pension, according to a GenForward poll by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

The youngest in that group are more likely to still be in school, but the trend also holds for those in their late 20s. More than 4 in 10 of those aged 25 to 30 have nothing for retirement.

These same Americans are part of a generation whose future retirements, if they happen at all, will be more dependent on their personal savings. That’s because traditional pensions are becoming more and more rare. Only 7 per cent of those surveyed say they’re in line to get the coveted benefit, which promises to pay a set amount monthly after retirement.

Plus, young Americans are likely to get less in Social Security benefits than their parents or grandparents. The age to receive full Social Security benefits is climbing, up to 67 from 66. And most young Americans don’t have much faith in the Social Security system to begin with. Only 5 per cent say they’re very confident in it, and 28 per cent say they’re somewhat confident.

Despite all that, a majority of young Americans still say they are confident that they’ll have enough to retire when they want to. African Americans, Asian Americans and white Americans have similar levels of confidence, between 53 per cent and 56 per cent. Latinos are an exception. Only 43 per cent say they’re very or somewhat confident.

“I feel pretty good about our future,” says Shavonne Henry, a 26-year-old who lives in Vancouver, Wash., with her 25-year-old husband and children. They have some saved up in a 401(k) through her husband’s work and a rolled-over 401(k) account from her old job.

“The reason we got to saving at all was I took a finance class in college, and part of the course was: If you want to have the kind of retirement you want to have, you should start saving at 20,” she says. “I don’t think that’s talked about enough.”

More employers are looking to give their workers, young and old, a nudge to start saving for retirement by automatically enrolling them in 401(k) plans.

At plans administered by Vanguard, 41 per cent of employers did so last year, up from 27 per cent five years earlier.

But to get that benefit, a worker needs a job that offers a 401(k) in the first place, and some younger Americans say it’s difficult finding such a benefit.

Allison Riley, a 25-year-old in Monroeville, Ala., has built up her savings account at the bank by working nights waitressing. But when she asked if the job came with a 401(k) benefit, “they said ‘401 what?’” she says. “I took that as a ‘no.’”

She’s using her savings now to help pay for classes she’s taking, and she hopes to become a high-school teacher. She also says she’s confident about the future. “Once I get to a better job, I know how I like to squirrel away money,” she says. “I think I’ll be OK.” There is no magic answer for how much a person needs to have saved for retirement. Two people with identical ages and incomes could need very different amounts, depending on how long they expect to work, how much they want to spend in retirement and other variables. Fidelity suggests saving 15 percent of your income each year. Financial advisers suggest saving enough so that your nest egg at retirement is 25 times the annual expenses you’ll need to cover.

The GenForward poll did not ask how much young Americans had saved for retirement, only whether they had done so.

A hearing test is

Aisha Ahmouda, a 30-year-old registered nurse, is optimistic about her future despite having little in retirement savings and less faith in the future of Social Security.

She’s pursuing a master’s degree to become a nurse practitioner, a job that comes with loan-assistance programs if she goes on to work in a medically underserved area. She also hopes that it puts her on a career track that will allow her to continue working into her late 60s or early 70s, even if her mobility starts to wane, giving her time to build up savings.

“Not everything is certain, even when you’re putting away savings,” she says. “I’m going to do the best I can and leave the rest up to a higher power.”

Church leaders make pitch to Cleveland Indians BASEBALL CLUB NEEDS TO CHANGE NAME, DITCH MASCOT

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Some church leaders are now calling on the Cleveland Indians to ditch its name and mascot.

The United Church of Canada and the United Church of Christ issued a joint statement urging the baseball team to change its name, calling the move “a small but significant step toward racial justice and reconciliation.”

The churches — whose national offices are in Toronto and Cleveland — also encouraged its members to join the .NotMyMascot campaign on social media.

Pressure from some Canadians opposed to Cleveland’s name and logo has ramped up in recent days as Cleveland prepared to meet the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series.

Broadcasters including Jays announcer Jerry Howarth have vowed to never use the term Indians because it’s offensive to many First Nations people.

Especially contentious is the team’s logo, which features a toothy red-faced character named Chief Wahoo.

“We join together to urge Cleveland’s baseball team to find a new name and a new mascot — ones that do not disrespect the wide and varied histories and cultures of Indigenous peoples,” says Friday’s statement, signed by the United Church of Christ’s Rev. John C. Dorhauer and the United Church of Canada’s Right Rev. Jordan Cantwell and general secretary Nora Sanders.

The United Church of Canada noted it participated in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Indian Residential Schools and was committed to carrying out its call to action.

The churches said they were encouraged by the decision by some sportscasters to refer to the team simply as “Cleveland.”

“This shows a growing level of awareness and a willingness to change that we must all engage in.

And so, as the series gets underway this weekend, we urge all members of our churches, no matter whom they cheer for, to cheer justly — and in a spirit of reconciliation.”

Pope Francis champions the plight of child migrants

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has denounced the forced repatriation of unaccompanied children migrants who flee wars and poverty, saying countries should try to meet their needs rather than return them to uncertain futures back home.

Francis took up the plight of child migrants in his annual message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees on Thursday.

History’s first Latin American pope didn’t cite specific cases, but the plight of unaccompanied Central American children crossing into Mexico en route to the U.S. has been a concern of Catholic bishops and Catholic grassroots organizations for years.

Mexico now deports more Central American migrants than the United States, a dramatic shift since the U.S. asked Mexico for help in 2014 after a spike in illegal migration, especially among unaccompanied minors. Most Central American migrants, who are fleeing drug and gang violence in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, are deported from Mexico on buses.

In his message, Francis said countries must balance their right to control migratory movements with their “duty to resolve and regularize the situation of child migrants, fully respecting their dignity and seeking to meet their needs when they are alone, but also the needs of their parents.”

He warned that children migrants are often led into prostitution, pornography or are enslaved as child laborers. He said more often than not, children are forcibly returned home “without any concern for their best interests” rather than being welcomed and integrated into new countries.

Even detention centers are cause for concern, he said.

“It is not unusual for them to be arrested, and because they have no money to pay the fine or for the return journey, they can be incarcerated for long periods, exposed to various kinds of abuse and violence,” the pope said.

Francis visited the U.S.-Mexico border earlier this year and prayed for migrants who died trying to reach the U.S. In 2014, more than 46,000 unaccompanied minors from Central America crossed into the United

States, leading the U.S. government to turn to the governments in Mexico and Central America to try to stanch the flow. In most cases, Mexico holds migrants only long enough to verify their nationalities before sending them home.

According to Mexican government figures quoted by the UN children’s agency, more than 16,000 migrant children from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras were apprehended in Mexico during the

first six months of 2016. But thousands still make it to the United States.

While unaccompanied children apprehended in the United States are guaranteed an immigration court hearing, they are not entitled to a court-appointed attorney. A comparison of cases initiated in 2015 showed that by June 2016, 40 per cent of unrepresented children were ordered deported, compared with 3 per cent of children who had lawyers.

Why the Nobel committee turned to Dylan PAUL WELLS OPINION The Nobel Committee for Literature of the Swedish Academy comprises five Swedish writers, plus two associate members, ranging in age from 54 to 86, of middling international reputation. Self-awareness is half their charm. They know the annual chance to hand out a Nobel Prize for literature gives them a megaphone out of all proportion to the rest of their lives.

They sure used it on Thursday when they gave the prize to Bob Dylan.

The ageless bard of lonely American struggle is the first songwriter in the history of the Nobels, going back all the way to 1901, to win the literature prize. Normally it goes to novelists, playwrights, poets. Proper writers, as you might say.

Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Minnesota 75 years ago, has not often been a proper anything. But the honour suits both him and the times.

His songs are often bone simple. The famous ones were written a half-century ago. He slouches and mumbles as he sings them, half-declaiming in a nasal and conversational tone that is easy to mock.

His most ardent fans, who have been calling for years for a Nobel for Dylan, are surely outnumbered by the legions who would pay good money for the chance to escape an hour of his voice.

But together and severally, those songs are a mighty river cutting right through the centre of the American myth. The Swedes have, rightly, been reluctant to give their prize too often to Americans, or indeed to writers in English from any country, aware as they are that great literature speaks every language. But compared to the worthy American names often bandied as Nobel season approaches — Joyce Carol Oates, Philip Roth, Richard Ford — surely Dylan has spoken loudest and clearest for longest.

Of course there is a place for the Nobel to shine a light in obscure corners. Elevating the Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska in 1996, an intensely private poet of quiet surprise, ranks to me among the wisest things the Swedish Academy has done. But surely there is room, too, for words that speak to everyone about the universal and the eternal. In his homespun way, that has always been Dylan’s line. “How many times must the cannonballs fly/ Before they’re forever banned?” “He that gets hurt/ Will be he who has stalled/ There’s a battle outside and it’s ragin’.”

And then there are those chimes of freedom: “Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight/ Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight.”

I think three things explain why this was the year the Academy turned to Dylan.

First, if his songs are his curriculum vitae, last year he finally wrote a cover letter. In an extraordinary half-hour speech in Los Angeles in February 2015, at a gala where he was named MusiCares Person of the Year, Dylan explained, as he rarely has, what he has been up to all these years.

“These songs didn’t come out of thin air,” he said.

“I didn’t just make them up out of whole cloth.” He learned to write from traditional American folk songs. “They gave me the code for everything that’s fair game, that everything belongs to everyone.”

Anyone who works with words knows that’s the opposite of a banal insight. It’s not far from the Schiller poem Beethoven spent his last years figuring out how to set to music: “All men become brothers.” Working from local sources to the universal is the highest goal of art. It’s what won Alice Munro her Nobel three years ago.

The second good reason this had to be Dylan’s year is that the singer-songwriter tradition has taken a hell of a beating in 2016. David Bowie and Prince left us. Glenn Frey and Maurice White and George Martin. Short of sending choirs of angels to watch over Bruce Springsteen, there could be no more soothing balm than to put Dylan in the pantheon.

The last reason for Dylan now is the one the Swedish Academy would most vigorously deny, even though it seems the most transparent. The award was bestowed in the waning days of a crucial presidential election in Dylan’s homeland.

Long ago, Dylan said he’s no longer interested in politics. But he’s never stopped being interested in Robert Johnson’s blues, never stopped believing everything belongs to everyone.

As he sang more than 40 years ago, “But if all of us folks that thinks alike, if we gave all we could give/ We could make this great land of ours a greater place to live.”

How many of you know the rights of the poor?

CHRIS SALOMONS STREET TALES 1 Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, 2 to deprive the poor of their rights and rob my oppressed people of justice, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless Isaiah 10:2 I was reading this one morning, and it struck me that I really don’t know what the rights of the poor actually are. Do you?

These words were written about 3,000 years ago at a time, when law and order as we know it did not exist to the degree it does now. The more I thought about this, the more I realized that it is relevant to today’s world as well, although I still can’t clearly define what rights the poor have.

In this our democratic, capitalistic style of living you soon realize that the poor have all the rights of all the rest of the population — but only if they can afford it.

I’m not too sure of the actual numbers, but the majority of Canadians because of the lower wages and also lifestyles, are usually only up to three months from the street, should they lose their employment.

So the poverty roles keep climbing, and soup kitchens and food banks get busier.

By virtue of poor economics then, the number of people losing their rights continues to grow. I’m not RED DEER

talking about the right to choose which bathroom to use or the right to murder a child growing in your womb, these cost nothing, at least financially, instead I am referring to the rights to have shelter, (not a communal flophouse), food, (not leftovers), non-discriminatory medical service, and justice in the courts.

Years ago I helped an older gentleman do his taxes every year, and it frustrated me to see that earning not much more than his Canada Pension and OAS would have to pay taxes on a little bit of interest he earned from a few small investments. I’m talking under 10,000 invested dollars small! In today’s economy with what he would be making he would not even be able to afford rent! At the same time we had a Prime Minister who owned a shipping line which he registered in another country “because he wanted” to avoid paying millions in taxes; besides, all businessmen did it. A lot of his business was done in Canada.

Who wrote the laws that enabled him to do that?

Who wrote the rulings that took taxes from a man living below the poverty line? Was it the same crew that now are being found out for their prolific spending habits and tax exemptions and paid legal defence?

At the kitchen we constantly hear stories from folks about their dealings with government agencies.

The bureaucratic handling of people having lost their jobs, or who through unfortunate health circumstances needing assistance is one of the most demeaning experiences for some. They find it difficult and extremely frustrating to speak with someone who looks down on them for even asking for help.

years before a dime is received. The attitude of some of the clerks is one of having been told to make it extremely difficult for the recipient. Once the support has been arranged, the fight to maintain that support is a month by month battle because ofttimes, for a ridiculously simple clerical reason, one month they find that the support has not arrived and so the fight is on to re-establish the need again. Makes you wonder if that also has been legislated.

Have you heard the one about the single mother of a couple of kids denied the right to legal representation in a case for child support from a deadbeat dad because she earned too much? She earned minimum wage for a part time job in a retail store. Who wrote those rules?

Without sounding like a total socialist, I believe that even with my conservative background we have a responsibility to help, not hinder the poor. I learned at a young age that even if you are wealthy, it should not guarantee you the best seat in the house, but reality has taught me that if I don’t give you the best seat, you will buy the house or legislate that privilege.

The arrogance of wealth and the laws that support them has assured them not only the best seat, but the right to oppress the poor. The evidence is all around us, but we very seldom hear of a law maker that heralds the plight of the poor, rather, because of a few abuses, they make even more restricting rules.

What if for once we had leaders that took a real good and hard look at the reasons for poverty and actually made rules that eased, (not added to), the burden of these folks.

The world’s smallest first baseman HARLEY HAY HAY’S DAZE When I was a kid and most of my friends were also kids, the only blue jays we knew were the kind with two wings and two claws for hands and feathers and a weird sort of honk instead of a tweet. But now once again this time of year, which is known — particularly to our You-All neighbours to the south — as “The World Series Time of Year” the capital “B” Blue Jays have people all a twitter. The Canadian Blue Jays, I might hasten to add, from Toronto of all places where baseball is king. As opposed to the Argos, the Raptors and the Maple Buds, which are basically the peasants, serfs and peons of football, basketball and hockey, respectively.

With apologies to all those full-time baseball fanatics out there, I’m one of those baseball fans who only pay attention during The American World Series Time of Year. Especially when the Jays are in the thick of it. I figure it’s always lovely to get a chance to gloat to those baseball crazies south of the border who either ignore the fact that a Canadian team exists or simply refuse to believe that Toronto is not an American city. “How could Canada possibly beat us at baseball?” they say, sometimes right out loud. To which we answer: “Um, how many Canadians are on American hockey teams, huh?”

But back in the day, as a group of unruly munch-

kinoids, baseball was serious fun. Under the expert tutelage of the awesome-est coach Mr. Grove, for a few seasons I got to be the world’s smallest first baseman. Well, that’s what it felt like. Not only was I a certified shrimp, I didn’t really throw that well. Or bat all that well either. Also, running — not so much.

But I could catch pretty well most of the time, and besides — I had a really good glove. My legendary Cooper first baseman’s trapper glove. But as I may have mentioned, I wasn’t tall like first basemen are supposed to be, nor was I left handed as first basemen are supposed to be — so they can stretch way out into the infield to make a catch for an ‘out.’ But Mr. Grove with his typical wisdom and a lot of heart assigned first base to a kid who probably should have been on the school Tiddly Wink team instead.

Mr. Grove’s son and all-round good guy Charlie was the pitcher one particular year and we were playing a big game at the Central School diamond and I remember clearly that we desperately needed an out to win the game. All our guys are chattering and shuffling intently, all eyes on the batter, and I’m trying to be two feet taller and I know, I just know something big is going to happen, and Charlie goes into his wind-up, drills a fastball on account of that was about the only pitch anybody in our league could throw and CRACK the kid from the North Red Deer team connects and the ball launches straight up and down the first base line. Right where I happened to be.

So it goes up about a mile and a half into the clear blue sky and I’m tracking it like a pro, and I can hear the guys yelling and I realize I’m not breathing and I

know I’m going to snag this baby for the win, and I’ll be the hero in grade seven for the rest of the whole week.

You see, high fly balls didn’t come along that often in city league, really. Not ones that were several thousand feet into the air. Not ones to first base, that’s for sure.

It was like a dream. That ball came down like a rocket and it curved at the last second, but, running at full speed, I made an impressive last-second gyroscopic move — diving and snatching it out of the sky like the hero of the seventh game in the bottom of the ninth in the World Series final!

Except it was only just that: a dream. In actuality, I got under the ball and as it came shooting down I had my trapper up for a perfect two-handed catch — and then somehow, somewhere in my tiny brain, I knew, I just knew I was going to drop it. And I did.

The ball careened out of my glove and bounced away as the batter rounded first on his way to second. A catch I’d made a hundred times bouncing a high one off of the slanted roof at home, a catch I’d made a thousand times during baseball season snuggled in at Parkvale just before drifting off to sleep.

You know how they say if you could turn back time you wouldn’t change a thing? Not me. It wouldn’t alter the universe if I’d made that catch, but it sure would make watching the World Series in 2016 a lot more fun for the world’s smallest first baseman.

The title of the stupidest war goes to Yemen GWYNNE DYER INSIGHT “They hit everything, hospitals, orphanages, schools,” Hisham al-Omeisy told The Guardian newspaper six months ago. “You live in constant fear that your kids’ school could be the next target.”

No, he’s not talking about the wicked Russians bombing the eastern side of Aleppo in Syria, which is stirring up so much synthetic indignation in Washington and London these days. He was talking about the air force of Saudi Arabia, that great friend of the West, bombing his friends and neighbours in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen.

The Saudi Arabian bombing campaign in Yemen is now 18 months old, and is responsible for the great majority of the estimated 5,000 civilian fatal casualties in that time. The Saudi authorities swear that it wasn’t them every time there is an especially high death toll — “(our) forces have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians” is the familiar refrain — but they are the only side in the conflict that has aircraft.

A case in point is last Sunday’s strike on the Great Hall in Sana’a, a very large and distinctive building of no military importance whatever. Last Sunday it was crowded with hundred of people attending the

funeral of Ali al-Rawishan, the father of the current interior minister, Galal al-Rawishan.

The younger al-Rawishan is the interior minister in the government that sits in the capital, which is supported by “rebel” Houthi tribesmen from the north of Yemen and by the part of the army that still backs the former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh. His father’s funeral was therefore attended by many senior Houthi officials and supporters of the former president, as well as large numbers of other people.

By the sheerest coincidence, we are asked to believe, an air-strike accidentally hit the Great Hall at just the right time on just the right day to kill 150 people and wound 525, among whom there would probably have been a dozen or so “rebel” government officials.

This war is really about Saudi Arabia’s ability to control Yemen’s government. The two neighbours have about the same population but Saudi Arabia is thirty times richer, so that should be easy.

Yemen’s long-ruling dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, was hostile to Saudi Arabia, so the latter took advantage of popular protests against him in 2011-12 (part of the “Arab Spring”) to engineer his replacement by a Saudi puppet, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi.

Saleh then made an alliance with his former enemies, the Houthi tribes of northern Yemen, and struck back. When the rebel forces seized Sana’a in late 2014 and eventually drove Hadi out of the country, Saudi Arabia put together a “coalition” of conservative Arab states and launched the current

military intervention to put Hadi back in power.

The other motive behind this foolish war is the Saudi belief (or at least claim) that Iran, its great rival in the Gulf, is the secret power behind the rebel forces in Yemen. No doubt Iran does sympathize with the Yemeni rebels, since they are mostly fellow Shias, but for all the talk of “Iran-allied Houthis,” faithfully repeated in Western media, there is no evidence that Iran has given them either military or financial aid.

So, then, three conclusions. First, the Saudi-led coalition will not get its way in Yemen if it remains unwilling to put large numbers of troops on the ground — and it might not win even if it did. Second, the relentless bombing of civilians is largely due to the coalition’s frustration at the failure of its political strategy (although the sheer lack of useful military targets also plays a part).

And third, this is the stupidest of all the wars now being fought across the Middle East. Who runs Yemen is not a matter of vital strategic importance to Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi obsession with the Iranian “threat” is absurd.

Does the Washington foreign policy establishment finally understand all this? Only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Old habits die hard, and it’s all too easy to condemn Russian air strikes in Syria while condoning similar Saudi air strikes in Yemen.

Hospitals have no conscience only people do

BY DAPHNE GILBERT ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Canadians are grappling with one of the most difficult legal issues we have faced in decades: our collective responsibility to facilitate medically-assisted death for those who choose it and satisfy the legal criteria.

Ever since the Supreme Court decided in Carter v Canada that individuals have a Charter protected right to a dignified death of their choosing, governments, physicians, hospitals and citizens have struggled to accept and move forward with implementing a workable regime. One of the biggest impediments is institutional resistance. Hospitals that claim a right to conscientious objection may well prove the Achilles heel in government efforts to breathe life into a right to die.

Catholic Hospitals, which are publicly funded, take the position that as institutions they have religious rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This is a position that was recognized by some Supreme Court judges in a 2015 case called Loyola Highschool v Quebec. Three judges concluded that a religious institution, as a collective, could claim a right to Freedom of Religion under section 2(a) of the Charter. However, those three judges added a key caveat to this conclusion: “… an organization

meets the requirements for s. 2(a) protection if (1) it is constituted primarily for religious purposes, and (2) its operation accords with these religious purposes.” Publicly funded hospitals do not satisfy this test and therefore have no institutional claim to Freedom of Religion.

Publicly-funded hospitals are not constituted “primarily for religious purposes”. All Ontario hospitals, Catholic and others, exist to deliver medically necessary services, and all are funded by provinces for that purpose.

All hospitals offer the aid and support of religious counsel to families that request it. All hospitals have quiet spaces for reflection and prayer. And all hospitals recognize that for some patients, religious counsel, empathy and end-of-life support are vital to a sense of holistic care.

No publicly funded hospital is organized for the purpose of providing religious care. Therefore Catholic Hospitals do not operate in a way that “accords” with a religious purpose.

The Loyola case was concerned with a private Catholic boys school that contested a Quebec provincial curriculum requirement that it offer “objective” or “neutral” instruction on world religions, including Catholicism. Three Supreme Court judges held that it violated the institution’s Freedom of Religion to have to teach its own religious doctrine neutrally and objectively. This is a fundamentally different

question than the one presented by Catholic Hospitals in delivering medically-necessary services. A private boys school advertises and admits students whose family wants a Catholic education.

A publicly-funded hospital takes all patients, regardless of religious affiliation (or lack thereof).

The hospital is not delivering “Catholic care”, it is delivering medical care that is non-denominational, non-religious and independent of religious oversight. Priests do not determine the care in Catholic hospitals, physicians and other health care professionals do.

The federal law that permits medical assistance in dying requires that an individual have a grievous, irremedial condition that is causing physical and psychological suffering. Death must be reasonably foreseeable. The people asking for this service are in extremis. They are suffering, in pain and near death. They have the Constitutional right to assistance in dying without pain and with dignity.

While an individual physician may have a Charter-protected religious right to ask another doctor to take over the role of ending a life, a hospital has no Constitutional right to prohibit all of its physicians from doing so. Hospitals have no conscience, only the people who work in them do.

Scott Subaru Powered by Breathing Fun Run/Walk EVENT IN SUPPORT OF THE ALBERTA LUNG ASSOCIATION The Scott Subaru Powered by Breathing Fun Run/Walk took place in late September at McKenzie Trails in Red Deer.

More than 120 participants and volunteers enjoyed the beautiful, sunny autumn morning raising awareness for the thousands of Central Albertans and their families who live with lung health issues.

The youngest walker was two years old, and the most seasoned participant was 87 years old.

More than $10,000 was raised for the Alberta Lung Association and the Red Deer Lung Support Group.

TOP RIGHT: Baked Sweet Potato Rosti.

Anna Jones’ food ‘a riot of influences’ Anna Jones clearly has good friends. When the British food writer and former chef suggested she might cook at her own wedding, they set her straight.

“They asked me, ‘Have you lost your mind?!’ ” she says with a smile over a cup of ginger and lemon tea at a cafe near her home in East London. “Maybe I had!”

If anyone could pull it off, it is Jones.

The 37-year-old is the author of two best-selling books (2014’s A Modern Way To Eat and last year’s A Modern Way To Cook, the latter just out this fall in the United States) and a food column in that bible of upwardly mobile liberal Britons, the Guardian.

She is a food stylist, too, making the dishes look as beautiful as they taste without seeming too fussy.

What really sets Jones apart, though, is her approach: Her food is vegetarian without a hint of prissiness, and its global bent calls to mind blockbuster author Yotam Ottolenghi’s cuisine, but more streamlined. She’s got that laid-back enthusiasm of fellow Brits Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson, too.

Her message is designed not to frighten those who can’t imagine a meal without animal flesh. “I want joy and sharing at the centre of what I cook,” says Jones, who lives with her husband, John, and 9-month-old son, Dylan. “I’m not about diets. I’m about celebrating food and celebrating life, and putting vegetables at the centre of that.”

Comparisons to Oliver are inevitable: Jones began her career at age 24 at Oliver’s London restaurant, Fifteen, with a place on the apprenticeship scheme, which is aimed at unemployed young people. Although Jones had a job, she had grown tired of it and had decided to quit when she got an interview at Oliver’s new venture.

The gamble paid off. She graduated in 2004 after 18 months and went to work at restaurants in Majorca and Tuscany before returning to Fifteen. She worked for Oliver for the next seven years.

‘I’M NOT ABOUT DIETS. I’M ABOUT CELEBRATING FOOD AND CELEBRATING LIFE, AND PUTTING VEGETABLES AT THE CENTRE OF THAT.’ - ANNA JONES “He’s had a huge influence on me,” she says.

“There are echoes of how he cooks in how I cook and write, [I’ve got] his approachability and enthusiasm for cooking and life, and I’m really proud of that.

He’s not to everyone’s taste, but he is an inspirational figure. He is courageous, and what he does is very positive.”

She describes Oliver, in fact, as “a real sounding board”; she will email him things, such as a book cover in progress, and “he’s always got time to dart a quick email back.”

Oliver is not her only influence. Jones lived in Palo Alto, in Northern California (“a very different place back then,” she says), until she was seven, and it inspires her work. Her passion is informed not only by California ingredients but also by the approach chefs there take to food.

“I think Californians are more open to mixed influences,” she says.

“Here in Europe, it’s British, Italian, Spanish; fusion food is looked down upon by some chefs. It’s regarded as being a bit early ’90s. In California there’s an ability to seamlessly mix influences. I love that freedom. There are fewer hang-ups about what is the correct way to do things.”

Jones’s own food is a riot of influences. Take, for example, what was served at her wedding in July: arancini with roasted fennel and pecorino, topped with candied fennel seeds; zucchini fritters with aioli; tomato tarte tatin with orange and yellow heirloom tomatoes and crispy nasturtium seeds; crispy olives, roasted feta, deep-fried capers. “Lots of different textures,” says Jones.

Extremely haut cuisine DELECTABLE DISHES FROM ACROSS THE POND SPECIAL TO ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Squash, Roasted Tomato and Popped Black Bean Salad 4 servings Here, you get a big helping of color, aroma and texture — especially in the black beans, which add an almost popcorn-like crunch.

MAKE AHEAD: The black beans can be “popped” in a dry skillet up to 1 day in advance and kept at room temperature in an airtight container, but they’ll need to be recrisped in a dry skillet just before serving.

Adapted from A Modern Way to Cook: 150+ Vegetarian Recipes for Quick, Flavor-Packed Meals, by Anna Jones (Ten Speed Press, 2016).

Ingredients 1 butternut or similar squash (about 2 pounds total) Olive or liquefied coconut oil Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper Seeds from 2 green cardamom pods, freshly ground 10 ½ ounces cherry tomatoes (25 to 30 total) One ½-inch piece peeled fresh ginger root One 14-ounce can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained 1 ¾ ounces (a generous ½ cup) flaked unsweetened coconut 1/3 cup Greek-style or coconut yogurt, for serving Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime, preferably organic Steps Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 475 degrees.

Cut the squash in half lengthwise and discard its seeds. Cut the squash halves into ½ -inch-thick slices. Arrange them flat on the baking sheets.

Drizzle them with oil and sprinkle them lightly with salt, pepper and half of the cardamom. Roast (upper and lower racks) for 25 to 35, minutes until blistered and golden, rotating the baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through. Let cool.

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and spread them, cut sides up, on a third baking sheet. Grate the ginger over them, then season lightly with salt and pepper.

Drizzle them with a little oil and roast (upper rack) for about 20 minutes, until some of them look deflated.

Transfer to the stove top or a heatproof surface; leave the oven on.

Meanwhile, dry the black beans on paper towels. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s quite hot, add the beans; cook for about 12 minutes or until they pop and become crisp, turning them occasionally.

Scatter the coconut over the roasted squash slices; return the baking sheets to the oven (upper and lower racks) and roast for about 5 minutes or just until the coconut is fragrant.

Whisk together the yogurt, lime zest and juice and the remaining freshly ground cardamom in a small bowl, then season lightly with salt and pepper and mix well.

Heap the squash slices, roasted tomatoes with ginger and the popped black beans on a platter. Top with dollops of the yogurt mixture, or serve in a bowl at the table.

Baked Sweet Potato Rosti 4 servings, Healthy The color and crunch of peas and fresh spinach make a nice complement to this moist potato cake. You can bake it in a 9- or 10-inch pie plate or a 9-by11-inch baking dish.

Adapted from A Modern Way to Cook: 150+ Vegetarian Recipes for Quick, Flavor-Packed Meals, by Anna Jones (Ten Speed Press, 2016).

Ingredients 1 1/3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and grated 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard Finely grated zest of ½ lemon 2 handfuls fresh spinach (may add a handful to the rosti mixture; optional) Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper Water (optional) ½ to 1 cup frozen/defrosted peas Warm poached eggs, for garnish (optional, see NOTE) Steps Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Grease the baking dish with cooking oil spray.

Combine the sweet potatoes, mustard, lemon zest and some spinach, if desired, in a mixing bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, then mix until well incorporated. Press the mixture into the baking dish, packing it as much as possible. if the mixture seems dry, add a few tablespoons of water.

Roast (middle rack) for 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and browned on top. Top with the 2 handfuls of spinach and the peas (to taste) and serve whole at the table, or cut into quarters and then top each portion.

Serve warm.

NOTE: To poach eggs, heat 2 or 3 cups of water in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt; once the water comes to a full boil, add the vinegar. Crack one egg at a time into a small bowl, making sure the yolk stays intact and there are no bits of shell. Gently slide the eggs into the boiling water, one at a time. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the whites are just opaque but the yolks seem liquid within.

Texture is vital to her. Presentation, too: “It’s so important.

It’s like getting up and getting dressed in the morning. If you don’t brush your hair and you put on clothes that have yesterday’s soup down them, you’re not going to feel your best, you’re not going to be on your game.”

In London, the land of meat-and-two-veg, Jones’s vegetarian approach still feels fresh. Not too long ago, the nose-to-tail trend of carnivory exemplified

by Fergus Henderson and the London restaurant St. John was all the rage.

And Jones says her message would have struggled to find an audience before the past few years.

“When I became vegetarian, about eight years ago, I had to let people in on it quite slowly; I didn’t know anyone else in food who was vegetarian,” she says. “People were incredulous: ‘How are you going to manage that?’ “ But opinions are shifting somewhat, in part due to the efforts of chefs such as Ottolenghi, whose Middle Eastern cuisine is vegetable-heavy and whose books “Plenty” and “Plenty More” (not to mention his own Guardian column) brought vegetarian cooking to a huge audience.

Londoners, like Americans, have more access to fresh ingredients than ever, “and our engagement in cooking has definitely changed,” Jones says. “Whether that has filtered down [to everyone in society], I don’t know. We’ve still got a lot of work to do.”

Nowhere is that clearer than in Homerton, where she lives. It’s immediately obvious as you exit the train station, where a coffee cart — beloved of the middle-class incomers who have transformed this part of London — stares across the road at a deepfried-chicken takeout shop.

Jones is well aware that her message is reaching an already engaged audience, interested in eating nutritious, vegetable-focused recipes. What she wants is to figure out how to get the word out to those who don’t read the Guardian or “buy beautifully photographed … recipe books.”

Daughter must be told about her biological father DEAR ANNIE ANNIE LANE Dear Annie: When she was 21, our daughter became pregnant by a casual college boyfriend. Three months into her pregnancy, they broke up because the young man had no interest in raising a child.

Our daughter decided to let him go and has not ever found him or required child support from him.

During the pregnancy, she dated another young man, who wasn’t put off that she was pregnant with someone else’s baby. He loved our daughter and was committed to raising the baby as his own.

They married soon after our granddaughter was

JOANNE MADELINE MOORE HOROSCOPES Saturday, Oct. 15 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Penny Marshall, 73; Sarah Ferguson, 57; Larry Miller, 63 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: There’s a fiery Full Moon tonight and emotions are high, so pace yourself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You love people to notice and appreciate what you do. 2017 is the year to worry less about what others think, and focus more on your personal goals.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Expect the sparks to fly, as the Full Moon fires up relationships and heats up your hasty side. Slow down Rams. Otherwise you’re likely to over-react and do something you later regret!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Can you get the balance right between being assertive and being cooperative? It’s also time to write, paint, play music or do other activities that draw on the richness of your imaginative world within.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When it comes to an unpredictable friend or acquaintance — you ain’t seen nothing yet Twins! A long-standing cherished dream could also suddenly veer off in a totally different direction.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Full Moon activates your work and home zones so expect professional or personal dramas this weekend Crabs. And avoid negative individuals, as you’ll pick up their energy like a sponge.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Cool down Cats. If you are too hot and hasty, then you could find yourself headed for an argument or accident. Pace yourself, and take particular care when walking and driving. No distractions!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Being around unreliable people could drive you crazy today. So try to surround yourself with individuals who know where they’re going. And keep your adaptability muscles well-flexed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Peace, harmony and happiness are a faraway dream today, as the fiery Full Moon stirs up problems with partnerships — whether romantic or platonic. So expect the unexpected Libra!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Inner compulsions and hidden obsessions are likely to go into overdrive tonight, as the Full Moon fires up your unconscious mind. So strive to keep things in perspective Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The fiery Full Moon falls in your drama zone so expect plenty of ups and downs Sagittarius, especially with children, teenagers or friends. Patience — not one of your virtues — is the key.

born, and despite divorcing our daughter three years later, our former son-in-law has continued his commitment to being a loving father to our granddaughter. He has been the only father in her life. His parents and family have always loved and included our granddaughter as their own.

Our granddaughter is now 16. No one has ever told her the truth — that our former son-in-law is not her biological father.

Our daughter has done a great job raising her daughter but is terrified of the prospect of telling her daughter the truth. She is afraid her daughter will flip out and hate her when she is told the truth.

She also fears her daughter will be angry with everyone who knows the truth and has been “lying” to her all these years.

Our family — and our daughter’s ex-husband’s family — all agree that our daughter needs to tell her the truth soon, before someone spills the beans

and our granddaughter is devastated. But our daughter is passive. She wishes someone else would take care of this for her, but we all agree she needs to be the one to tactfully tell her daughter the truth.

Do you have any advice on how this situation should be handled? —Concerned Grandma Dear Concerned: It’s in your granddaughter’s best interest to know who her biological father is. However she processes it, it’s information she deserves to have, one of the more practical reasons being for the sake of her medical records.

Help your daughter talk through her fears. She’s said she is afraid her daughter will flip out, so explore the worst-case scenarios there. She’s only 16; she can’t very well pack up and start a new life over this news. She might threaten as much, but once the dust settles, she’ll still be there, and so will all of you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be prepared for domestic dramas and family fiascoes Capricorn, as the Full Moon highlights your home zone. Aim to get the balance right between your personal and professional responsibilities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Travel and/or communication will be complicated this weekend Aquarius, as the fiery Full Moon increases your impulsiveness, and your tendency to blurt things out — in person and online.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Money matters may come to a head this weekend, as you realize your wish-list and your bank balance are worlds apart. Time to find ways to boost cash flow and re-design your dreams.

right between being optimistic and realistic. And don’t promise more than you can comfortably deliver.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Clever communication is the key to a successful Sagittarian day. Don’t just blurt things out. Think of interesting ways you can convey your meaning with added punch and power.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Conscientious Capricorn — others may look to you to take on a leadership role. If you can combine innovative ideas with a consultative approach, then you’ll really start kicking goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Adventurous Aquarians are raring to go. You’re full of beans, so make sure you use your energy boost in positive and constructive ways. Otherwise high spirits could turn into plain hi-jinks!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put aside time to contemplate or meditate — whatever you choose to call it. If you escape into your own inner Piscean world, it will revitalize and re-energize you for the week ahead.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s time to shine in the spotlight so don’t be shy about promoting your talents. Others are inspired by your approach, as you communicate your ideas with confidence and conviction.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Generous Gemini — you’re keen to help a loved one but don’t run around promising the moon and stars, and then fail to deliver. Strive to prove your good intentions by walking your talk.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Aries Moon encourages being open to new ways of doing things, especially at home.

Plus, with impulsive Mars in your relationship zone, be bold and say what’s on your mind.

Laura Thomas/ADVOCATE news services

As the function of the kitchen has changed, many are starting to call it the living-kitchen.

Welcome to the living-kitchen SPECIAL TO ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES A combination of kitchen, as in the room where food is prepared and cooked, and living room, the other name of the family gathering space that was understood long before “great room” and “family room” came into the style lexicon.

As the kitchen has crept out of its small little spot at the back of the house and become the focal point of the home, as data from the American Institute of Architects suggests, architects have struggled with how to not let it dominate the living space. But what if we accept that it can be one thing, the living-kitchen?

I recently came across the term living-kitchen in Architectural Record and several concepts resounded with me: In the past, social activity around food was the exclusive province of the dining room.

As family life and our food culture have changed, social activity is now encompassing food preparation — perhaps even equal to the consumption of the meal.

When the line between the kitchen and dining

room first blurred, the answer was the great room, which I have been designing in larger homes for years. We’ve also done quite a bit of work redesigning older, small kitchens from the 1920s with additions to accommodate a sitting room and larger breakfast area. The reality, though, is that the breakfast area is not just for breakfast, but the place where everyone hangs out when food is being prepared.

If we embrace the term living-kitchen, we must do more than just make the kitchen a bigger room with place to hang out; we need to deconstruct the entire traditional kitchen design concept, beginning with the word “triangle.”

The triangle is the term describing the best arrangement of space between the oven, sink and refrigerator. Traditionally, the smaller the triangle, the better the kitchen functioned. This may have been true when one person was doing the cooking, but it doesn’t really fit the way we live and cook today.

Here’s what you need to ask yourself when considering whether to enlarge the triangle: How do you accommodate two or more cooks working?

How can you allow access to the outside grill,

which is sometimes used more than the inside cooktop?

What happens when the kids need to hang out and grab a snack, or guests at a dinner party need a glass of wine?

In these cases, the triangle fails miserably. Traffic is endlessly cutting through the prep, cook and clean up zones.

The reality is that a functional living-kitchen might need another prep sink and maybe a second, small 18-inch glassware dishwasher, perhaps even multiple smaller distinct refrigeration units and even refrigeration drawers placed where you need them for each function. Is it outrageous to suggest that we no longer need the single refrigerator of our mother’s day? Maybe not. Think how liberated the space could be without 36- to 48-plus inches of wall space covered with a fridge/freezer.

Only in shaking things up and out of the triangle can we really start to design smarter and even smaller, more efficient spaces.

If we think outside the box (um, triangle), we can also throw out spaces as obsolete in function as they are in name: “breakfast room” for starters and “sitting room.”

Move slowly when using yellow for home designing DEBBIE TRAVIS HOUSE TO HOME Dear Debbie: I’d love to use a strong yellow in my living room.

We like an eclectic look with a mix of antique and modern furniture pieces. How much is too much of this bright colour?

Richard Dear Richard: Yellow has many personalities. A creamy shade signifies classic country, pastel yellows suit a nursery, sunny yellow works well in a kitchen. And then there is bright acid yellow that looks great in a modern setting such as a loft space.

Strong yellows are intense, stimulating and can be aggressive. This edgy quality is perhaps too much for a whole room, but makes a statement as an accent wall. You can also break up the colour with white as I have done here by applying damask stencils randomly across the yellow wall.

Black and white are both good partners for this bright yellow. The black table and chair legs are important elements that ground the setting. The white painted floor reflects the lively burst of yellow, keeps it light, and ensures an upbeat tempo.

Experiment with your favourite yellow. Start with one wall and live with it for a while. The colour may energize you, but it may also tire you, so it’s worth moving slowly.

Dear Debbie: Just moved into a new apartment with a fairly large full bathroom. The walls are high gloss white.

What can I do to add colour? I have a shower curtain with pink, yellow and blue circular design.

Laura Dear Laura: You have the right idea by hanging a colourful shower curtain and displaying bright accessories.

But perhaps it’s time to switch it up a little. The

Modern, stimulating and edgy, this acid yellow wall is softened by adding a white stenciled pattern. high gloss walls act as a kind of mirrored surface, reflecting any colour it’s paired with. Why not try apricot for the curtain, or one of the solid terra cotta

shades? These colours are warm and sophisticated, and, as a bonus, they give our skin a lovely hue. Keep your accessories simple, matching brushed chrome or glass cream and cosmetic containers, and neutral natural soaps. They will look elegant.

Dear Debbie: I’m re-doing our master bedroom and have decided to use a blue paint. We have all white bedding and little blue accent pillows and our furniture is a light wood. Will it make our bedroom look small if I paint all four (white) walls blue, or should I just paint the wall behind the bed? I am leaving the base boards white. Thank you Nicole Dear Nicole: There are many blue hues that suit a bedroom.

The palest shades, coupled with white, create an ephemeral feeling, almost like you are floating on a cloud.

Darker blues are moodier and create a romantic nighttime atmosphere. Dark colours will make a room feel smaller, but this is a good thing if you are going for a cozy restful ambience.

Medium blues such as cornflower blue, produce a pretty picture without a closed-in feeling. Since your walls are all white now, start with the headboard wall. Your other walls will reflect that blue and may be enough.

Another option is to use the blue on the lower third of all your walls. You can then leave the upper walls white or select wallpaper with a pattern that has touches of blue in it.

There are many stunning wallpapers available in all styles from geometric and modern chic, to classic stripes and paisleys.

Blue is understandably a favourite decorating colour because it complements all materials. No matter what option you choose, your light wood furniture will show beautifully.

Decluttering and organizing are not the same ALTHOUGH THEY GO HAND IN HAND, THE MAIN PURPOSE OF ORGANIZING IS NOT NECESSARILY TO DISCARD THINGS

In recent years, organizing and decluttering have become synonymous concepts, but they aren’t really the same thing. Although the two activities go hand in hand, the main purpose of organizing is not necessarily to discard things. Your closets and drawers can be packed but totally organized. Or, you may have a relatively clutter-free house but can’t ever find what you’re looking for.

Organizing is putting the things you own in order.

Decluttering means getting rid of unwanted items that are taking up valuable space. It’s possible to do both things, but decluttering alone will not make you organized.

Most people fall somewhere in the middle. They have areas in their homes that they keep organized and others that are perpetually disorganized. For some, closets are their biggest organizing challenge.

For others, it might be their home office or kitchen.

Some people can perfectly organize photos but don’t have a clue about how to organize papers.

The goals of organizing should be to know what you own, where to find what you need and where to put things, regardless of how much stuff you have.

For instance, I was recently helping a client organize photos. Not digital photos, but good ol’ holdin-your-hand pictures. The photos had collected in a large bin over the years. There was no order to them, and my client had no knowledge about what was there.

She expected me to tell her that she didn’t need the pictures and that she should just toss them. But I don’t advise people to part with their valued possessions to get organized. Instead, we spent three hours sorting through the piles, discarding many unintelligible or unimportant shots, tossing the paper envelopes and cardboard boxes, and organizing the photos into smaller boxes by year.

Once we got to work, my client realized it wasn’t as difficult as she had imagined it would be, it didn’t take as long as she thought it would, and it was easy to determine what to keep and what to toss. It also allowed her to take a fresh accounting of her pictures, gather some to mail to friends and family, and pull some for framing. Sometimes a little decluttering, and a lot of organizing, equals success.

Closets are another common source of organizing angst. The directive to purge everything you haven’t worn in the past year stops people in their tracks.

They think that they couldn’t possibly organize their clothing without doing a thorough clean-out first, which usually leads them to do absolutely nothing.

After all, who wants to throw out that many pieces at once?

Instead of requiring yourself to look at every piece of clothing to determine whether it’s worth keeping before you start organizing, just start organizing. Purging and organizing don’t have to be two wholly separate processes. By hanging everything on the same type of hangers — hangers that properly fit your clothing — and arranging everything in a logical order — shirts together and facing the same way, pants hung properly and together by type, jeans and sweaters folded neatly — you’ll find your closet to be much more organized, and you’ll be better able to see what you have. This process of tidying up and

OVER

‘THE GOALS OF ORGANIZING SHOULD BE TO KNOW WHAT YOU OWN, WHERE TO FIND WHAT YOU NEED AND WHERE TO PUT THINGS, REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH STUFF YOU HAVE.’ — NICOLE ANZIA organizing spaces you use every day can happen without decluttering, and it should happen a couple of times a year. If you discard some things along the way, that’s progress.

Personally, I like to keep cards that people have sent me.

All of the decluttering and minimalism advocates out there would tell me that the only reasonable

thing to do with these cards is to toss them.

But because I deem them important and want to keep them, I’ve decided to store them in neatly organized shoeboxes in my attic.

It’s true that I rarely look at them and that they are taking up space, but it’s not space I need for anything else right now, and they aren’t cluttering up my living space.

In short, the cards are organized – I know what the collection is and where to find it and have a designated space to add new cards.

With her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Marie Kondo set the bar very high for all of us mere mortals who aren’t quite ready to part with our possessions that don’t “spark joy.”

If you set a goal of doing a massive purge, you’re likely to get overwhelmed. Instead, be realistic, and strategic, by organizing the things you value most in an efficient and useful way.

Too much paper is the No. 1 problem SPECIAL TO ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Rachel Rosenthal, a professional organizer and owner of the Bethesda, Md. organizing firm Rachel and Co., joined Advocate news services staff writer Jura Koncius last week on our Home Front online chat. Here is an edited excerpt.

Q: I am knee-deep in papers. I would love a suggestion for a good scanner to keep all the information I need in the cloud.

A: Paper is the No. 1 problem that we see with our clients. It’s easy to let the paper pile up, and it’s common to feel overwhelmed once you realize how much has accrued over time.

If there are papers you absolutely need to keep, there are tons of scanning apps that can digitize your papers so that you can access them from a file on your computer instead of a hard copy.

We love to use a free app called Genius Scan on our phones, and we use it to scan in business receipts, invoices and client notes that we may need to refer to later.

Q: I have a small desk in the dining room where the mail lands, and it always has mountains of paper, no matter how much paper I throw out between the mailbox and this landing pad. Do you have any tips on how to camouflage and sort it?

A: First of all, I’m glad to hear that you throw out or recycle a lot of your mail, because 80 per cent of the mail that we receive can be recycled.

In terms of camouflaging, it sounds as if it’s a small desk, so I would set up a travelling file folder system.

There are a lot of options out there in a variety of sizes and finishes, so you should choose one that ties in to your home’s aesthetic.

The Container Store has some great options. I like its Latte Parker Desktop File, because it contains and organizes your paper while still looking good.

In terms of sorting your papers, I’m of the school that simple systems are better and that fewer categories will make it easier to maintain.

My favourite way is to use categories such as these: TO PAY (immediate things such as bills, parking tickets, etc.), TO DO (less-immediate things, such as responding to an RSVP, signing your child up for summer camp, purchasing tickets for an upcoming event), TO READ (magazines, newsletters, etc.), TO FILE (bills, tax documents, any papers that you need to keep long-term).

Q: Do you have any advice on where to start with home organizing? I feel as though every room in my home is a cluttered, unusable mess.

A: This is something that we hear from people all of the time. The best approach is to take it one area of your home at a time.

Focusing on every room as a whole is going to feel overwhelming.

Create a schedule on your calendar to carve out time to go through your home in one-to-three-hour time slots. (Anything more than that can become daunting.)

Getting help from a professional organizer or a friend can make the work go a lot faster, and the support will be helpful.

Q: We have lived in many places, and it has become a family tradition to collect campy souvenirs wherever we go.

Now we have a ton of them and have no idea what

to do with them.

We have brass pieces that my husband brought back from Iraq during the Gulf War, tiny plates from Brazil, and a number of small figurines from Sweden and Alaska. You name it, we probably have it. What can I possibly do with these treasures that won’t look, well, junky?

A: I would display only things that you absolutely love and really want to see displayed and that reflect the way you want your home to feel.

To make it feel less junky, frame some of the special plates or other souvenirs. There are great places that would do that for you, such as Framebridge.

You could also think about putting some of the brass pieces or smaller figurines in a shadowbox and display those around the room.

I would be very critical about what is displayed and how much you choose to display, and I’m a big believer in having nothing in your home that is not useful or beautiful to you.

Wet windows and air exchangers STEVE MAXWELL HOUSEWORKS Q: What can my sister do to get rid of wintertime window condensation? The company that installed their windows repeatedly say that their windows are not the source of the problem. She already has an air exchanger but is planning to get a bigger one to solve the problem. Do you have any suggestions for finding a reliable installer?

A: Before your sister hires anyone there are a couple of things to consider. It maybe that the current air exchanger isn’t working properly or not working at a high enough speed. Your sister should clean the filters and see what speed the unit is running at. Also, some air exchangers have a humidistat that shuts the unit down at a preset level of humidity. It’s possible that this humidistat needs to be set lower.

The reason I mention these things is because I’ve never seen an air exchanger that was too small to work properly in a house of up to a couple of thousand square feet.

That’s why I suspect it might not be working properly. Also, it’s possible that a furnace humidifier is working during the heating season, adding moisture to the air faster than the exchanger is taking it out.

If your sister’s house does have a humidifier, she should shut it off when the cold weather comes and see what effect that has.

One thing is for sure, modern windows with double or triple panes of glass are never the cause of condensation.

In fact, the tighter the windows, the more likely condensation will be a problem because good windows block drafts and natural ventilation.

check them out. This is the best way to find good people, though it’s surprising how few homeowners bother with this. ✭✭✭ Shop vac for basement cleaning Q: What’s the best way to clean the dust and cob webs from the ceiling of an unfinished basement?

I’m replacing old shelves and the basement is open and bare right now.

A: If this were an outdoor situation, I’d recommend a powerful leaf blower. They’re a great tool for cleaning things when it doesn’t matter where the dirt goes.

In your case, because you’re working indoors, a shop vac with a wand and dusting brush is probably your best bet. It will be challenging to work around all the floor joists, but I can’t think of a better option.

That said, you’ll want to get the most powerful shop vac you can find.

It’s going to take some serious suction to make the job go well. A small- or medium-size model won’t have the power necessary. ✭✭✭ Drying a wet stone basement Q: How can I make my 100-year-old stone basement dry? I’m 80 years old, I’ve always done everything myself, and I don’t want to stop now. I also don’t want to go to a lot of trouble and expense.

A: Unfortunately, I don’t know of a completely certain way of making your basement dry without also making a big mess of your yard and cheque book.

That said, I can offer a few suggestions that will help.

First, install a second sump pump to increase the pumping capacity in your basement. I’d also make sure that both pumps are set into a sump recessed into the floor. If you can keep the level of water below the level of the basement floor, it will make quite a difference. Also, it won’t hurt to coat the inside of your basement walls with a truly waterproof product. There are two that I know work well. Xypex and Drylok are great.

sulation will also provide protection from fire, moisture and unwanted noise. Adding insulation is one of the simplest and most-cost effective ways to increase home energy efficiency.

4. Make use of natural sources of heat. Pull back your curtains to let natural light in. The sun can help to warm a room with its rays on a bright fall or winter day.

If there are any large windows in your home that don’t receive much sunlight, keep the curtains closed to form a barrier from the cold.

5. Use ceiling fans to your advantage. In the winter, set the fan to rotate clockwise. The blades will pull the air up and around, redirecting warm air that rises back down into the living space. The effect can help you lower your thermostat by two degrees in the winter. While cutting back on energy may seem more challenging as the weather gets colder, it doesn’t have to be. There are many no- or low-cost methods to conserve energy that can provide consistent savings over time.

s temperatures decrease during the fall and winter months, energy usage and costs tend to climb. These five energy-saving tips for your home will ensure the comfort of your family and your wallet.

1. Adjust your thermostat. Lower the heat on your thermostat while you are away from home and before you go to bed. Better yet, invest in a programmable thermostat so you don’t have to give it a second thought.

2. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Cracks and gaps around windows and doors can let cold drafts into your home. Weather-stripping or caulking will seal these problem areas and keep your home warmer, without having to turn up the heat.

3. Insulate well to protect your home from the cold.

Add insulation to your basement walls, headers or attic to make a noticeable difference in the temperature of your home and its energy consumption. A mineral wool product specifically designed for thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, is ideal. This type of batt in-

Urban Infill: Narrow homes can be a beautiful thing DAVID FERGUSON CREATIVE SPACE One of the fastest growing trends in home design is urban infill. This growth has been spurred by a demand from people, often young professionals or empty nesters, moving from the suburbs back to the city centre.

Infill housing is often defined as new houses constructed on vacant, underused lots interspersed among older, existing properties in established urban neighborhoods, or major refurbishing or reuse of existing homes or buildings.

Much has been written about the positive and negative effects of infill housing, including the affect it has on property values and the displacing of longtime residents and businesses.

Sociological issues aside, one of the consequences of buildings designed within these parameters is making liveable and marketable space out of impossibly narrow lots.

I came across this floor plan being marketed in a downtown area and was fascinated by what is proposed as a “perfect home for a professional couple.”

I was fascinated because none of the marketing material was shown with any furniture arrangement, which frankly I saw as a red flag.

This home is located on an urban lane, wedged between an operating sign factory on one side and a similar home of the other. The lot measures about 8.3 metres wide (about 27 feet) and has a recessed entrance on the ground floor (while at the showroom, I couldn’t help but laugh at one person who described the plan as an “attractive one-car garage with attached living unit”).

The ground floor is, in effect a hallway to the garage and mechanical room, with a staircase leading to the main floor.

Here is where I began my planning process for the new home of this mythical “professional couple.”

1. The kitchen is often described as the “heart of the home,” and anyone leading a busy professional life needs a professional kitchen that has top-quality cabinet work, appliances and fittings.

It should be a non-nonsense space that is used to pull together a quick snack, or used by caterers to lavish their epicurean delights on dinner guests. It must be a stylish space, featuring the latest gadgetry and finishes and this kitchen does not disappoint.

With top-quality quartz counter tops and de riguere ultra high-gloss cabinets, this kitchen has plenty of counter space and enough cabinet space so that only things that are meant to be seen are left on the counter after use.

2. Dining in. The developer’s marketing floor plan offers no suggestion of where the dining area might be, so we are left to make an educated decision on the best place to arrange an eating area.

Potentially, one could arrange a table and chairs where the island is shown here, or adapt the island

to include a seating area. My reasons for not using either of these options are simply because those options would diminish the deluxe quality of the kitchen space, but more importantly, they would take space away from the living room area.

For the most part, dining is a transitional activity, occurring between cooking and relaxing. On those rare occasions when it is the one and only activity of the evening, it should be done in a space that is comfortable and open.

For both these reasons, I opted to show the dining area in the niche next to the seating area and in front of the garden doors that lead to a small balcony. The negative impact of placing this important area compressed in this small corner is alleviated by the fact that it is directly in front of the large doors and view outside.

3. The ultimate family room for this power couple will be a space that will give them enough seating for at least five people, with room for more if necessary.

More importantly, it is a space to relax when they are at home and I could easily see each reclined on their own sofa watching the latest episode of The Bachelorette, or snuggled together on one luxury sofa enjoying the fire.

Although the original plan did not call for one, a fireplace is an easy add in any environment by virtue of gas-operated or electric units.

Here, I have shown the built-in fireplace unit to visually anchor the living room and to provide a focal point in this one-room, open space.

4. Colour spotting, balancing splashes of bold colours throughout, has been used to keep the light palette from feeling dull. A variety of lively green tones seemed appropriate, given the grey urban environment in which this house is located.

Attorney Gloria Allred, left, comforts Summer Zervos as Zervos reads a statement during a news conference in Los Angeles, Friday. Zervos, a former contestant on ‘The Apprentice’ says Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made unwanted sexual contact with her at a Beverly Hills hotel in 2007.

Zervos is among several women who have made sexual allegations against the Republican nominee. He has strenuously denied them.

Sexual misconduct allegations rock Trump campaign

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GREENSBORO, N.C. — Battered by sordid new accusations of sexual misbehaviour, Donald Trump fought back in ever-more-remarkable fashion Friday, acting out one woman’s allegation onstage and suggesting another was not attractive enough to merit his attention. He defiantly denied a week’s worth of accusations that have all but consumed his presidential bid just over three weeks before the election.

“She would not be my first choice, that I can tell you,” Trump said of one woman in a rambling attack on his female accusers as he campaigned in battleground North Carolina.

The New York businessman said his staff wanted him to avoid the topic altogether but that he couldn’t resist defending himself. He blamed the growing story on his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and an international media conspiracy, describing his female accusers as “sick” people seeking fame or money.

“The only thing I can say is hopefully, hopefully, our patriotic movement will overcome this terrible deception,” he declared.

Trump assailed The New York Times in particular, noting its connection to Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, who is a major shareholder in the media company.

Spokesman Arturo Elias Ayub later said Slim doesn’t know Trump at all “and is not the least bit interested in his personal life.”

Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, promised the campaign would soon release evidence against the women that would show Trump’s innocence.

“It’s coming in, frankly, probably in a matter of hours,” Pence said Friday morning on NBC’s Today Show.

He added, “It’s astonishing to see the enormous coverage of these, of these really unfounded allegations, unestablished allegations, compared to an avalanche of emails coming out of Hillary Clinton’s years as secretary of state.”

Indeed, Friday marked another day on which WikiLeaks released thousands of emails that had been stolen from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s personal account.

The new batch showed that Hillary Clinton’s campaign asked former President Bill Clinton to cancel a speech to an investment firm last year because of concerns that the

Clintons might appear to be too cozy with Wall Street just as she was about to announce her candidacy.

Clinton aides say in the emails that Hillary Clinton did not want her husband to cancel the speech but was eventually convinced. The Clintons’ paid speeches have been an issue throughout the campaign, particularly lucrative speeches to Wall Street.

The Clinton campaign, citing information it says is from the FBI, says the hacks are being investigated as part of a broader attack on Democratic Party leaders that may involve Russia.

Clinton herself spoke Friday of a need for national healing.

“I take no satisfaction in seeing what Trump does and says because it hurts — it hurts me and it hurts our country,” she said in a speech at a fundraiser.

Polls suggest Trump has fallen further behind Clinton nationally and in most battleground states. Early in-person voting is underway in 20 states, including Ohio, where President Barack Obama railed against Trump a day after first lady Michelle Obama declared in a passionate speech, “Enough is enough.”

The Obamas both seized on Trump’s words, captured in a video released last week, bragging about kissing and groping women without their permission. The 70-year-old billionaire has apologized, but also repeatedly dismissed his comments as “locker room talk.”

“You don’t have to be a husband or a father to know that that kind of language, those kinds of thoughts, those kinds of actions are unacceptable.

They’re not right. You just have to be a decent human being,” President Obama charged in Columbus, Ohio.

Two more women, meanwhile, come forward Friday with allegations against Trump.

A former contestant from NBC’s The Apprentice, said Friday that the former reality television star became sexually aggressive at a Beverly Hills hotel in 2007. Summer Zervos, appearing at a Friday news conference with attorney Gloria Allred, said Trump kissed her open-mouthed and touched her breasts in a private room.

And in a story published online Friday, Kristin Anderson told The Washington Post that she was sitting on a couch with friends at a New York nightclub in the early 1990s when a hand reached up her skirt and touched her through her underwear.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HAMILTON, Bermuda — Bermuda’s government dispatched crews to clear roads and engineers to inspect infrastructure as the British territory moved to recover quickly from Hurricane Nicole, which battered the island as a Category 3 storm.

The heavy rains and wind dissipated overnight Thursday as many of the island’s 65,000 residents ventured outside to assess the damage caused by 115 mph (185 kph) winds.

Authorities, however, urged people to remain indoors for their safety.

“There has been significant flooding in areas around the island and some severe road damages,” said National Security Minister Jeff Baron.

“Obviously, we are also concerned about downed trees and downed power lines, which are live.”

Schools and government offices remained closed on Friday, while the island’s international airport is expected to open around noon.

Hurricane Nicole snapped trees, peeled off roofs and flooded homes as

it roared across the island on Thursday. The storm also damaged boats that broke away from their moorings and knocked out power to more than 27,000 customers who live on the island, which has sturdy infrastructure and is accustomed to heavy weather.

Forecasters were still trying to determine if heavy winds or tornadoes created by the hurricane were to blame for some of the damage, said James Dodgson, deputy director at the Bermuda Weather Service.

At one point during the hurricane, the wind grew strong enough to fling open a hatch on the weather service’s radar, rendering it useless until the hatch could be shut, officials said.

Nicole has strengthened to a Category 4 storm late Wednesday as it approached Bermuda but lost steam overnight.

Although severe storms often affect Bermuda, “a hurricane this strong is rare,” the National Hurricane Center said.

The hurricane then weakened to a Category 1 storm as it churned toward the middle of the Atlantic Ocean after pummeling Bermuda.
