Readers won’t be losing any of the news and features they enjoy.

In fact, it will be easier than ever to find local news, sports, entertainment and business, not to mention the features about Central Albertans who have their stories to tell.

For advertisers, a tabloid allows them to showcase their advertisements in ways that will draw more eyes and send more feet through their doors.

A switch is also being made to a Tuesday through Saturday publication to focus resources more efficiently.

Online, the Advocate is also mak-

ing a big investment to gather and present the news in a way we’re confident readers will enjoy. The new website went live earlier this month and will be updated throughout the day to ensure readers get their news fast, seven days a week.

Weekend sports highlights and other news will be posted online so readers don’t miss a beat on Mondays.

“Today’s reader is busier than ever and wants to access the information that’s relevant to their lives on a variety of platforms,” says Kemmis.

“Our updates allow Red Deerians to get their news online, via mobile, desktop and tablet as it happens from Red Deer’s most trusted news source.

“And for those who want to take a little more time, we have our printed newspaper, which includes special features that will only be available in-paper.

“Add all this together with our active social media presence and it means the Advocate will always be there when you need it.”

ENGINES RED DEER RACER TEARING UP THE TRACK

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF McKenna Bold has been drag racing for half her life — and she’s only 16.

This week the Grade 11 Notre Dame High School student competed in her first world championship — the Summit Tournament of Champions and the Summit SuperSeries, in Memphis, Tenn.

Junior drivers, age eight to 18, race in the International Hot Rod Association competition against drivers from Canada and the United States.

Bold won enough points in four national races in the Summit SuperSeries to qualify. Drivers can also qualify

by winning the title of track champion.

“This is my first time going down,” Bold said.

“When I was 11, I was one win away from being the track champion. Since I was probably about 12, I’ve always been in the top three for the point standings.”

On Thursday, Bold was testing her dragster on the track at Memphis International Raceway. Friday she raced to determine her spot among the competitors, and today is elimination day.

She said about 30 junior racers regularly compete at her home track, Castrol Raceway near Leduc. Big events attract up to 60 drivers.

ReStore expansion moves materials indoors

Bill Bale, left, of Lacombe, was shopping Friday morning with the help of staff member Kelly Davis at Habitat for Humanity’s new cold storage facility outside its ReStore. racers based on age and experience.

Bold said most junior races are girls.

“But once you get up there, it’s 30 guys to two girls. A lot of girls lose interest in the sport. But there are some.”

She said at age eight or nine, drivers can’t go faster than 37 km/h (60 m/h) or reach the finish line in less than 12 seconds.

“Once I turned 12 I started going 140 km/h. Now that I’m 16, I can move up to full-scale dragsters.”

Top-fuel dragsters run a quarter-mile race in a little over three seconds with about 10,000 horsepower.

But racing isn’t all about speed. Reaction time at the starting line plays a major role, she said.

“If you leave too early you’re disqualified and if you leave too late, it’s a bad light and you’ll probably lose.

There is a lot to it. I’m still learning.”

And drivers not only have to be the first to cross the finish line, they can’t go faster than the set time they predicted, she said.

Junior dragsters compete in bracket racing where drivers predict when their car will cross the finish line.

Times are compared and the slower car receives a head start equal to the difference between the two.

Bold, who wants to be a surgeon, said she will continue to race during university.

“There’s always room for (racing).

My dream would be to run top field dragsters for Don Schumacher Racing,” said the teen, pointing to the Schumacher team sweater she was wearing.

The high school student has never been injured in a race.

“This stage is relatively safe. You blow motors or stuff like that, but juniors don’t really crash. Once you

STORY FROM A1

BOLD: Wanted to get behind the wheel when she was 3 The teen first wanted to take the wheel when she was only three years old and was at the track with her parents. Next spring her dad Mark Bold will be moving up to a top dragster.

“I’d always be sitting in my dad’s race cars. They thought when we got home I wouldn’t care anymore. I was like — when can I race — and it was still five years away.

“I could never get it out of my head so I started racing when I was eight in junior dragster.”

Bold still can’t get enough of the highly competitive sport, the speed and, of course, winning.

“It’s my passion. Your family is there. All the other racers there, they’re your family. When you’re not racing you’re hanging with your friends, but right when you’re in your car — you’re not my friend anymore.

It’s serious competition. You’re racing for championships.

“There’s a big mental part to it. It’s not just hitting your gas pedal and letting off at the finish line.”

Junior dragsters race half-scale versions of top-fuel dragsters. Juniors command a five-horsepower, single-cylinder engine that can go as fast as 136 km/h (85 m/h) and can finish the eighth-mile race in 7.90 seconds.

Shopping for windows in the winter at Habitat For Humanity’s ReStore just got a whole lot warmer.

The ReStore opened its new cold storage facility on Friday with stock inside donated by All Weather Windows and office equipment from Nova Chemicals.

“This is our second expansion now in the last two years. The building we’re putting outside today will enable us to protect against Old Man Winter, the windows and things we’ve been storing outdoors for the last number of years,” said Brian Brake, executive director of Habitat For Humanity Red Deer Region.

He estimated that $10,000 to $15,000 worth of items stored outside were destroyed last year from the weather.

Habitat received a $52,000 grant to buy the steel Quonset hut through the Community Initiatives program with funding from the Alberta Lottery Fund.

Brake said Red Deer-North MLA Kim Schreiner was instrumental in helping Habitat with the grant process.

And local companies like Red Deer Overdoor, Eecol Electric Corporation, Triple A Electric Ltd. and Burnco Rock Products Ltd. were happy to donate their expertise, service and products to the project.

“This is a community organization.

There was nobody that I called that turned me down.”

Money raised through the sale of new and gently used building materials donated to the ReStore pays for the store’s small staff and the construction of Habitat homes in Central Alberta.

“We’re trying to create 10 new homes for Habitat families every year.”

Two years ago the goal was one to two homes but Habitat has reached out to more communities and is creating new partnerships, he said.

In June, Habitat finished two duplexes in Lacombe for four families.

Habitat is looking at building homes in Red Deer, Stettler and Innisfail in the future.

He said ReStore sees about $2,800 in sales each day.

“This past 12 months we netted $370,000.”

The new cold storage facility will help keep funds flowing at the ReStore, he said.

“We have a loyal following here that come in every morning. People who do odd jobs around town, they come in, they buy their nails, their screws.

They’re looking for doors, windows, flooring.”

And an estimated 500 tons of building material was diverted from the landfill in the past 12 months, he said.

“It’s wonderful way to recycle things.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Notre Dame Grade 11 student McKenna Bold holds two of her many trophies. move up the risk keeps moving up.

When you start going faster, all it takes is for you to hit the wall too hard or a big explosion.”

There’s few been serious injuries for any of the drivers at Castrol Raceway, she said.

“We’re all really skilled drivers. We know how to handle those situations if something did happen.”

Bold said she feels safer on the track, racing side-by-side with another dragster, than on any public road.

“There’s a lot of safety equipment.

You’re in a roll cage. You have a fire suit on, a helmet, a neck brace, wrist restraints — everything.”

When Bold isn’t in the drivers seat, she is working under the hood.

“You don’t send your race car away

to get fixed. You pull it into your shop and pull the motor yourself. I love doing that kind of stuff, working in the shop with my dad.”

Most of the maintenance is done in the off-season. Bold’s family will take a few trips down south for competitions during the winter, but she competes at the tracks in Alberta in the spring and summer.

This weekend Bold is focused squarely on becoming a junior world champion.

“It all happens so fast. You’re at that high speed so quick. You hit the gas, you’re pushed back. Nothing compares to the feeling of being strapped in and racing.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Saturday, Oct. 22, 2016 open fire if anyone knocked on the door of his apartment, located in downtown Red Deer.

Mounties arrived at the building to find a man in the second-floor hallway with a pistol in his right hand, which he pointed at police.

One of the officers fired two rounds at the man and shouted at him to drop the weapon. When he did not comply, the officer fired a third shot, hitting the man in his stomach.

The cocked pistol landed on the floor. It was later discovered to be a pellet gun.

Local BRIEFS New assessment request delays sentencing Sentencing has been postponed for a man who was shot by police during a May disturbance in Red Deer.

The defence lawyer for Jesse Dyvig, 28, of Red Deer, asked that a forensic assessment out-patient services report be prepared before sentencing. The report provides information on someone’s mental health to better help the court to determine a sentence.

A separate pre-sentence report has already been prepared.

Red Deer provincial court Judge Jim Glass was told it will take at least eight weeks to have the second report prepared.

Dyvig previously pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer with a weapon and dangerous use of a weapon.

The charges were in connection with a May 1 incident that began when an RCMP dispatcher received a 911 call from a man stating that he intended to commit suicide.

The caller said he had a loaded Smith & Wesson .22 calibre revolver in his hand and that he would

court.

Police said Gallagher is actively evading arrest.

The public are warned not to approach Gallagher if he is spotted, but to call police.

Gallagher is described as Caucasian, 5-foot-10 (1.78m), about 180 pounds (82kg), with short, dark brown hair and brown eyes. He has a star tattoo on the back of his right hand and a horned bull tattoo on the left side of his neck.

Anyone with information should call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575.

RCMP seek man on 11 Alberta-wide warrants

Stabbing sends man to prison for 18 months

Police are looking for help finding a man allegedly behind a string of vehicle thefts, fraud and other crimes in Central Alberta.

Kevin Leo Gallagher, 32, is wanted on 11 Alberta-wide warrants out of Red Deer and Brooks.

Gallagher is also wanted on two Saskatchewan-wide warrants for theft and breach of probation.

KEVIN GALLAGHER Charges include fraud, uttering forged documents, theft, possession of stolen property, failing to appear in court and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle while fleeing police.

Red Deer RCMP began the search on Oct. 17 after Gallagher failed to appear in Red Deer provincial

A man was sentenced on Friday to 18 months in prison for a stabbing near Eckville.

Edward Dwayne Heywood, 46, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm in Red Deer provincial court. On release from prison, he will be on probation for 18 months and has been given a lifetime weapons prohibition.

Heywood had originally been charged with attempted murder after he was arrested by police last December.

Sylvan Lake RCMP were called early in the evening on Dec. 21 to reports that a man suffering multiple stab wounds was lying on the side of the Rainy Creek Road, about eight km northwest of Eckville.

Mounties provided first aid to the severely injured man while awaiting arrival of a STARS air ambulance, which delivered him to hospital in Edmonton for treatment.

Heywood was arrested by Innisfail RCMP six days later.

Council to talk Riverlands development

Local BRIEFS Servus Credit Union robbed A man wearing a curly blond-red wig and a fake red beard robbed Clearview Market Servus Credit Union on Friday morning and then escaped on a bicycle.

Red Deer RCMP said that shortly before 11 a.m., the disguised man entered the credit union and handed a note to a teller demanding cash, and stating he was armed.

He then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash before riding away on a bicycle. No weapon was produced, and no one was injured.

Besides the disguise, the suspect is described as Caucasian, about 1.8 metres (6 feet) tall, average build, brown eyes, wearing a black cap, black gloves, black track suit jacket and blue jeans Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or report it online at www. tipsubmit.com.

Riverlands Area Redevelopment Plan returns to city council on Monday for a public hearing.

The hearing gives Red Deerians an opportunity to comment on the plan that will create a mixed-use urban neighbourhood in the downtown area with lively commercial streets, a variety of medium and high-density housing and public spaces that will draw people year round.

On Sept. 26, council gave first reading to the redevelopment plan and amendments to the Land Use Bylaw.

The plan has the same purpose, objectives, vision and guiding principles as the 2011 Riverlands ARP, but expands the overall concept for downtown riverfront community.

Riverlands area is primarily a light industrial/commercial area directly west of the downtown commercial core on the bank of the Red Deer River. It includes the former city public works yards, Cronquist Business Park, Inland Cement, Carnival Cinemas and the Old Brew Plaza and other commercial businesses.

About 300 residents live in Riverlands in townhouses south of 43rd Street and The Quarry Condominiums along the river.

Much of the area was built out in the 1960s and 1970s.

Rallies against carbon tax across Alberta RED DEER ONE OF 11 COMMUNITIES TO HOLD A PROTEST ON NOV. 5

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Rallies across Alberta in 11 communities — including Red Deer — are planned on Nov. 5 with the focus on the pending carbon tax.

Organizers of the Alberta Wide Rally said they will be asking participants to support a petition calling for a referendum on the carbon tax, slated to kick in Jan. 1.

Todd Beasley, of Calgary, who is the managing director of the rallies, said Friday that the provincial government does not have a mandate for the tax on fuel and that it will have “serious societal consequences” for Alberta, especially when there are technological advancements in carbon capture and storage.

Bill 20, the Climate Leadership Implementation

Act, will impose a $20 per tonne carbon levy in 2017 ($30 in 2018) to reduce greenhouse gases and mitigate the impact of climate change.

There will be rebates between $100 and $360 for low- and middle-income families and individual consumers. The less fuels a household uses, the less tax.

For single people, they will be eligible for a rebate if they earn under $47,500, and for families under $95,000. The government has said that 66 per cent of households will get a full or partial rebate.

Municipalities will not be eligible for rebates. To help businesses adjust, the small business tax rate will be lowered from three per cent to two per cent as of January.

Bill 20 also establishes a new provincial agency, Energy Efficient Alberta, mandated to develop and deliver provincial-scale energy efficiency and small scale renewable programs and services.

The province argues that Bill 20 will create jobs

by investing in a lower-carbon, energy-efficient economy.

Alberta Wide Rally said the net result of the bill will be increased costs of goods and services, jobs will be lost.

Beasley said that his group is comprised of “reasonable people acting reasonable,” not “wingnuts or extremists.”

There will be reputable speakers at the rallies, and more details will be released next week, he said.

The group said the rallies are open to all Albertans and political parties and besides Red Deer, they will be held in Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Camrose, Drayton Valley, Edmonton, Hanna, Airdrie, Calgary, Brooks and Lethbridge.

The Red Deer rally starts at 11 a.m. at City Hall. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Local BRIEFS Public school board trustee honoured A long-time trustee for Red Deer Public Schools was honoured for his commitment to public school education in Alberta.

Bill Stuebing was presented with the Special Contribution to Public School Education Award from the Public School Boards’ Association of Alberta in Edmonton on Thursday.

Stuebing has been a Red Deer Public Schools trustee for the past 21 years, and an active member of the Public School Boards’ Association of Alberta.

He said being honoured is humbling, but was quick to point out he wasn’t alone in his efforts.

“I’m feeling appreciative and gratified but, the fact of the matter is, I was involved in a lot of things over the years and I can’t point to anything and say that’s what I did. It was always what we did. I sure didn’t do anything by myself,” said Stuebing.

Stuebing holds a PhD from the University of Alberta and has taught sociology and criminology at Red Deer College since 1972 before retiring last year.

Lacombe police seize $32,000 worth of drugs, charge two people A traffic stop in Lacombe led police to charge two people after $32,000 worth of drugs was discovered.

Lacombe Police Service said two members stopped a black BMW on the afternoon of Oct. 13 for alleged traffic violations.

Police noted the odour of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle while dealing with the two occupants of the vehicle.

Further investigation resulted in the female driv-

er and male passenger being arrested and a variety of drugs seized. Police located quantities of marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and morphine with a total street value of about $32,000.

The man and woman, both from Lacombe, have been charged with numerous offences under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and Criminal code.

The woman, 42, and man, 41, face several charges including possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Donald School of Business partners with Junior Achievement Red Deer College students are working with young people to foster the entrepreneurial spirit.

The Donald School of Business is collaborating with Junior Achievement (JA) Southern Alberta, a non-profit organization that works with the business community and other groups to teach financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship.

It’s an important way for the Donald School of Business to connect with a local non-profit group that shares their values, said Darcy Mykytyshyn, dean of the business school, adding the college is pleased to work with JA to deliver practical learning opportunities for students in Central Alberta.

This fall, students in the Business Administration diploma program are developing a marketing communications plan for JA. The project will help students improve their social responsibility and citizenship skills, while also building leadership and communication skills, said Robert Opoku, an RDC business instructor.

Karen Vavrek, director of regional operations with JA Southern Alberta said it offers seven different programs for students in grades 5 to 12 and about 2,000 students participate in JA programs in Central Alberta each year.

The programs are offered free of charge, and they are delivered by business volunteers who are trained for their roles working with students.

In addition to the project, future possibilities for Business Administration diploma students may include volunteerism and other opportunities for prac-

tical experience.

Drug trial gets new date after accused shows up wounded A man whose trial was postponed because he showed up to court on Monday with shotgun wounds will have another try.

Scott Stephen Fitzgerald and a co-accused Shawn Barry Steier will have a new trial on drugs and weapons charges. The new date was not available on Friday.

Fitzgerald and Steier, were scheduled to begin a two-day trial on Monday on several charges of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, possessing property obtained by crime, unauthorized possession of a firearm (shotgun), and using a firearm for the commission of an offence.

The two were arrested in September 2015 at an RCMP traffic stop.

Fitzgerald missed his morning court appearance because he was still in Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre being treated for his gunshot wounds. When he showed up in the afternoon, he appeared to wince in pain when required to stand.

Fitzgerald was quizzed closely by the judge about his ability to undergo a trail before the case was adjourned until Friday.

Complicating matters was that Fitzgerald said he was being treated with morphine and had no lawyer to represent him, meaning it would have been up to him to cross-examine witnesses if he chose.

Red Deer RCMP said at about 11:30 p.m. on Friday a man turned up at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. He had been shot in the abdomen with buckshot pellets.

Police were still trying to determine when the incident happened and who else was involved.

Rural crime watch group returns to Delburne, Elnora areas BUSINESS OWNERS, RESIDENTS CONCERNED ABOUT INCREASE IN CRIME

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Residents in the Delburne and Elnora areas are moving ahead with forming a new rural crime watch group.

Delburne Chief Administrative Officer Karen Fegan said Friday that a meeting in the village attracted about 40 people earlier this week and resulted in a nine-member board being formed.

Fegan, who will chair the board to get things started, said that the new group hasn’t decided on its official name yet, but the rural crime watch area will encompass Delburne and Elnora, and the surrounding areas.

Many years ago there was a rural crime watch group but as crime fell, it became less a concern.

The new group will make application to become an official society and then join the Alberta Provincial Rural Crime Watch Association.

Fegan said the area is a safe place to live, but this may make it that much safer.

She said there has been an increase in criminal activity in the area blamed in part on the current economic downturn. There have been break-ins in both the village and surrounding area and crimes such as stolen vehicles and other property have occurred. Stolen vehicles have also been found ditched in the area.

The plan to form the crime watch group was started well before a recent incident that led to a Del-

burne-area man, Daniel Wayne Newsham, 45, being charged with manslaughter after he allegedly followed a stolen vehicle on Aug. 14, and an ensuing crash claimed the life of the other driver, Stanley Dick, 32.

Some business owners in Delburne had come forward concerned about crime a while ago and wanted help from the village to do something about it, Fegan said. Three Hills RCMP was invited to speak and the communities then weighed forming a crime watch group versus Citizens on Patrol.

It was decided to form the watch group because there is enough crime in the area that people want to help reduce it by being proactive, Fegan said. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Canada-EU trade deal collapses FREELAND SOUNDS DESPONDENT NOTE AMID FAILED EFFORT TO RESCUE DEAL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — About two months ago, when the ink had dried on the 1,600 pages of the Canada-EU free trade deal, two politicians decided another document — a mere five pages — would be necessary to tie up any loose ends.

Sources say it was those five pages, and not the deal itself, that proved pivotal Friday as last-ditch talks in the European Commission collapsed, with the holdout Belgian region of Wallonia refusing to end its blockade of the long-sought deal.

A dejected-looking International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland walked out on the talks in Brussels, her tone and her words suggesting the deal was all but dead.

“It is now evident to me — evident to Canada — that the European Union is incapable of reaching an agreement, even with a country with European values such as Canada, even with a country as nice and as patient as Canada,” she said in French, her voice breaking.

“Canada is disappointed and I personally am disappointed, but I think it’s impossible. We are returning home. At least I will see my three children tomorrow at our home.”

It was Freeland herself and German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel who pushed for the creation and adoption of the document at the heart of the impasse, five pages that became known as the Joint Interpretative Declaration.

It was aimed at critics of the deal known as the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, including left-leaning politicians in Europe as well as the clamouring anti-trade civil society movement, as an “unambiguous statement” to assuage concerns over “provisions that have been the object of public debate and concerns.”

Sources say the deal itself was not open to renegotiation, but the interpretative declaration was fair game.

In the end, that wasn’t enough for Paul Magnette, Wallonia’s president, to keep the agreement from ripping apart at the seams.

In the hours leading up to Freeland’s explosive exit, sources — speaking under condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the talks — told The Canadian Press that Magnette was determined to re-open the text of the agreement itself and renegotiate the details of specific Canadian agricultural products that would be allowed into the EU. A source said that the work already done in entrenching the tariffs and quotas attached to specific brands of cheese and meat in the agreement itself simply could not be unravelled at such a late stage.

In recent days, Magnette also expanded the scope of his earlier concerns — protecting his tiny Belgium

northwestern Alberta.

More than a kilogram of cocaine was also discovered when members of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team searched the Grande Prairie homes last Thursday.

The seizure followed a monthlong investigation into suspected trafficking.

Police say other drugs, including marijuana, were also found in the homes, along with two body armour vests and thousands of dollars in cash.

Singh Grewal, a 24-year-old Langley resident, is facing drug possession and other charges, as is 22-year-old Elson Blue Joy from Kelowna.

Word of the arrests comes as the RCMP holds a two-day conference in Edmonton dealing with the rising tide of fentanyl use, which killed 153 people in the first six months of this year in Alberta.

Alberta BRIEFS Man identified in burned Bashaw motel BASHAW, Alta. — RCMP have confirmed the identity of the body found in the ruins of a motel that burned on Sunday in central Alberta.

Dead is Barinder Singh Tiwana, who was 54.

Police say they continue to investigate the death and the fire in Bashaw.

Investigators found graffiti on the motel, including a racial slur.

Police have said they have no information to indicate the fire and the graffiti are linked in any way.

Dozens of fentanyl pills seized in Grande Prairie bust GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. — RCMP say they have charged two men from British Columbia and seized upwards of 150 pills of potentially lethal fentanyl from two homes in

region’s farmers from larger interests — to take on the newly configured investor-state dispute resolution mechanism.

Magnette said “difficulties remain” in the talks, notably the politically sensitive issue of how multinational corporations could challenge states under the deal.

Freeland worked hard to renegotiate that part of the agreement after Gabriel raised his own possible deal-killing objections to the provisions in 2014.

In the new, five-page annex, a full page is devoted to the subject, describing how a new “independent, impartial and permanent investment tribunal” would take shape and operate.

One source said Magnette has started to dig into “the substance of the treaty,” and has expressed frustration that he was shut out of the negotiations.

Maude Barlow, the head of the Council of Canadians, an organization that adamantly opposes liberalized trade, said Magnette isn’t just speaking for the Walloons he’s speaking for groups such as hers over what they see as a flawed approach to solving disputes between investors and states.

“The only way to address these legitimate concerns is to reopen the deal itself and change those provisions that give foreign investors and big corporations such power to dictate government policy,” Barlow said.

Opposition Conservatives, who forged the Canada-EU agreement when they were in power, were outraged at Freeland’s apparent decision to throw in the towel.

“Roll up your sleeves and don’t leave,” demanded Gerry Ritz, the party’s trade critic and former agriculture minister.

Ritz said it was a mistake to open a door by adding the five-page declaration after the fact.

“You can’t please everybody — you can’t give everybody a get-out-of-jail free card.”

Ritz said he and former trade minister Ed Fast sat through some tough negotiations with Europe and “agonized for hours” over the fine print.

“You don’t complete a deal this comprehensive by walking away at the final hours,” Ritz said in an interview.

However, one of Fast’s former top aides, disagreed.

“For Canada, leaving the table at this stage is the right move because it’s up to the EU to negotiate within and come back to Canada with a proposed solution,” said trade consultant Adam Taylor.

“Canada’s negotiating partner is the EU, not Belgium.”

Sources say that at the close of talks Friday, another possible solution was off the table: Belgium simply ignoring the Walloons and giving its approval anyway.

Belgium’s constitution gives its three self-governing regions, including

Canada’s Minister of International Trade Chrystia Freeland speaks at a press conference at the signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement in Auckland, New Zealand. Freeland walked out Friday on talks aimed at convincing the holdout Belgian region of Wallonia to agree to the European Union’s wideranging free trade deal with Canada.

Details about the proposed Canada-EU trade deal OTTAWA — The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union, also known as CETA, appears to be close to foundering on the objections of a small region of Belgium.

Here are some facts about the deal: ● Canada is the EU’s 12th most important trading partner. The EU is Canada’s second-largest trading partner after the U.S. and accounts for nearly 10 per cent of its external trade. ● In 2014, Canadian exports to the EU totalled $39.5 billion, with imports at $53 billion. ● The EU has a population of more than 500 million and a nominal GDP of almost $18 trillion. ● The agreement would eliminate about 98 per cent of the tariffs on

both sides of the deal. ● A joint Canada-EU study concluded that the trade agreement could increase bilateral trade by 20 per cent annually and boost Canada’s income by $12 billion annually. ● The study suggested the economic benefit of the agreement would be equivalent to creating almost 80,000 new jobs or increasing the average Canadian household’s annual income by $1,000. ● The first round of negotiations was held in Ottawa in October 2009 and an agreement in principle was announced four years later. After fine-tuning some contentious clauses, a final legal text was released in February 2016. ● Adoption of the deal in Europe has been blocked by Wallonia, a Belgian region of 3.6 million people.

The regional parliament rejected the agreement over fears it would threat Walloon farmers and the area’s welfare standards.

Wallonia, a veto over what the national government can do. But some are arguing that the Belgians should ignore the Walloons even if that starts an internal constitutional fight.

That’s because any internal Belgian legal struggle would take years to resolve most of CETA would have come into force.

For now, that option is off the table, said a source, because any ensuing legal battle within Belgium would be an ugly sideshow to the trade deal.

“This would not be a good start for the CETA.” Magnette said Friday the talks

would continue, but suggested any deal might not be ready in time for a planned visit to Brussels next week by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

With the deal in peril, Trudeau has held back from announcing whether he will attend the Oct. 27 Canada-EU summit, a date set months ago as the official signing date for the agreement.

“Now it’s up to the Europeans to decide,” David Lametti, Freeland’s parliamentary secretary, said Friday.

“We have looked at every possibility, every option in order to reach an agreement…

“The ball is now in their court.”

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says the officer found an airsoft pistol during a vehicle search in March 2015 and took the air gun instead of listing it as evidence.

The agency also alleges he created a fake hit-and-run collision report in October 2014 to get insurance money.

Aaron Sayler is charged with theft under $5,000, fraud under $5,000, uttering a forged document and obtaining by false pretences.

The RCMP say the eight-year officer was suspended in February and resigned from the force earlier this week.

Top doc shines light on family violence CALLS STATISTICS ‘STAGGERING’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and murder — family violence is a pervasive but often hidden reality within Canadian society, says the country’s top doctor, who calls the scope of the problem “staggering.”

“This is a serious public health issue in Canada, one that can have long-lasting and widespread effects on the health of individuals, families and communities,” said Dr. Gregory Taylor, who on Friday released a 60-page report focusing on family violence.

“The health impacts of family violence extend far beyond physical injuries and include poor mental health, psychological and emotional distress, suicide, and increased risk of chronic diseases and conditions such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes.”

In 2014, the latest year for which statistics are available, almost 58,000 girls and women were victims of family violence, said Taylor, Canada’s chief public health officer.

Every day, one woman in Canada was killed by a family member every six days, a women was killed by an intimate partner while a man was murdered by a partner every 23 days.

“There’s no question that women bear the brunt of the most severe forms of family violence,” he said.

“But men and boys are certainly victims as well.”

Some other findings in the report: ● Every day, about 230 Canadians reported being victims of family violence. ● Between 2004 and 2014, half of the child victims of family-related homicide were under age four. ● About 760,000 Canadians reported experiencing unhealthy spousal conflict, abuse or violence in the previous five years. ● Every day, eight seniors were subject to family violence. More than 766,000 Canadians over age 55 said they had experienced abuse or neglect in the previous year.

“When I started to research this report, I really had no idea how big the impact was,” Taylor said in an interview Friday from Ottawa.

“The estimates are that fully 70 per cent of family violence is unreported, so we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg.”

Familial violence is particularly rife among Canada’s aboriginal peoples, whose multigenerational experiences of colonization, assimilation and racism have led to widespread substance abuse, poverty and despair in many communities.

In 2014, indigenous Canadians were murdered at a rate six times higher than that of non-indigenous Canadians. Native women were three times more likely to report spousal abuse than non-native women.

Taylor said 40 per cent of indigenous Canadians reported some form of abuse before age 15, compared to about 30 per cent of non-indigenous Canadians. Fourteen per cent of native women and five per cent of native men said they had been victims of physical and sexual abuse in childhood.

Nine per cent of aboriginal people said they had experienced unhealthy conflict, abuse or violence committed by a spouse or common-law partner in the previous five years, compared to four per cent

Canada’s top doctor has released a report on family violence across the country – and he says the statistics are staggering. Chief medical health officer Dr. Gregory Taylor says family violence is not just about physical abuse, but includes sexual, emotional and financial abuse, as well as neglect. in the rest of the population. For women alone, the figures were 10 per cent and three per cent, respectively.

People with physical disabilities or mental health conditions, as well as members of the LGBTQ community, also experience higher rates of familial and partner violence, the report found.

But identifying the root causes of family violence is difficult, said Taylor, because the issue is “highly complex.”

“We really don’t understand this,” he admitted.

“And consequently, we don’t really understand

what are the best interventions in trying to deal with that.”

Taylor believes a huge barrier to addressing family violence is that many victims keep silent, perhaps out of fear for their safety or the safety of their children, from feelings of shame or denial, or concern that they or their family will be judged or shunned by others.

“We don’t talk about it perhaps because of stigma,” he said, suggesting that the first step towards reducing family violence is to break down the wall of silence surrounding the issue.

Cyberattacks affect users in Canada, US

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Cyberattacks on a key Internet firm repeatedly disrupted the availability of popular websites across the United States on Friday, according to analysts and company officials.

The attack had knock-on effects for users trying to access popular websites from across America, Canada and even in Europe. Among the sites apparently affected were Twitter, Netflix, and Sony’s PlayStation Network.

Netflix Canada said it was experiencing issues streaming on some devices and was working to resolve the problem.

The White House described the disruption as malicious.

Manchester, New Hampshire-based Dyn Inc. said its server infrastructure was hit by distributed denial-of-service attacks, which work by overwhelming targeted machines with junk data traffic.

The level of disruption was difficult to gauge, but Dyn provides Internet traffic management and optimization services to some of the biggest names on the web, including Twitter, Netflix and Visa. Critically, Dyn provides do-

main name services, which translate the human-readable addresses such as “twitter.com” into an online route for browsers and applications.

Steve Grobman, chief technology officer at Intel Security, compared an outage at a domain name services company to tearing up a map or turning off GPS before driving to the department store. “It doesn’t matter that the store is fully open or operational if you have no idea how to get there,” he said in a telephone interview.

Jason Read, founder of the Internet performance monitoring firm CloudHarmony, owned by Gartner Inc., said his company tracked a half-hour-long disruption early Friday in which roughly one in two end users would have found it impossible to access various websites from the East Coast. A second attack later in the day caused disruption to the East and West Coasts as well as impacting some users in Europe.

“It’s been pretty busy for those guys,” Read said. “We’ve been monitoring Dyn for years and this is by far the worst outage event that we’ve observed.”

Read said Dyn provides services to some six per cent of America’s For-

Fossil fuel wealth can’t be left in the ground: Carr CABINET MINISTER SPEAKS AT CLIMATE FORUM

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Two federal cabinet ministers danced around the issue of approving new oil pipelines at this week’s climate conference in Ottawa, but both concede that Liberal policy decisions will upset some Canadians.

“We’re not going to make everybody happy,” Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr said Friday to the Canadian Climate Forum, packed with green technology advocates, environmental economists, NGOs and climate scientists.

As if on cue, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later found himself on the receiving end of some energy-policy indignation in Hamilton, Ont., where an anti-pipeline protester showered him with pumpkin seeds, shouting, “Keep your promises!”

The Trudeau government has made climate policy a central motif since taking office last November but is now trying to pivot to resource development amid slumping economic numbers. The Liberals approved controversial permits for a contested hydro electric dam on the Peace River in B.C. this summer and then conditionally approved a massive liquefied natural gas complex last month near Prince Rupert, B.C. A decision on Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby, B.C., has been promised by mid-December amid widespread speculation that the Liberals will approve the project.

Carr told the climate forum in Ottawa that some people cannot be convinced that fossil fuel development can continue.

“People say, ‘Leave the oil in the ground,’ they don’t want any development,” said Carr. “Our view is we use the wealth of the old economy to finance the new energy economy.”

A day earlier, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna tiptoed her way through a response when the conference moderator asked her directly about “moving hydrocarbons from Alberta elsewhere.”

“People want to know they’re going to have a job,” McKenna replied. “A lot of people are just trying to get by every day, figuring out how they’re going to put food on the table.”

She then described herself “as much an economic minister as I am an environment minister,” before almost pleading with the friendly environmental audience to stay with her.

“I’m going to lose some people on the way,” she acknowledged.

The Liberals have been grappling with the oil pipeline conundrum ever since they took power in part by promising both to cut Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions and get natural resources to international markets.

The policy paradox was personified Friday by Green party Leader Elizabeth May, who delivered a lunchtime address to the climate conference that simultaneously praised the Trudeau Liberals and Rachel Notley’s Alberta New Democrats while excoriating the new fossil-fuel infrastructure both governments advocate.

Victim surcharge may be made non-mandatory LIBERALS MOVE TO RESTORE JUDGE’S DISCRETION

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Liberal government is moving to once again give judges the power to excuse offenders from paying a so-called victim surcharge if they cannot afford it.

“We need to provide some discretion to judges,” Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said Friday after tabling related amendments to the Criminal Code.

“Imposing a victim fine surcharge on somebody that is a marginalized person, that has an absolute inability to pay, because of their financial circumstances, whether that be homelessness or not being employed, does not bolster a fair justice system.”

The change is among promised reforms to the criminal justice system — expected to include at least some reversal of the tough-on-crime agenda championed by the Conservatives — that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has asked Wilson-Raybould to bring in.

The Liberals are not, however, proposing a complete return to the way the victim surcharge was dealt with before the Conservatives brought in their controversial reforms.

The surcharge was introduced in 1989 as a way to make offenders bear some of the costs of programs and services for victims sentencing judges were given the discretion to waive the fee if it would cause “undue hardship” to offenders or their dependents.

That changed three years ago, when the Conservative government doubled the surcharge and made it mandatory, irrespective of the offender’s ability to pay.

The Conservative changes sparked protests from some judges, who either refused to impose the surcharge for impoverished offenders, gave them a payment deadline decades into the future or levied fines so small that the surcharge amounted to nickels and dimes.

They also led to court challenges under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Liberal amendments present a middle ground, restoring some discretion to judges but requiring them to explore whether an offender is able to pay.

“The judge is now given limited discretion and will have to detail the reasons for utilizing their discretion to waive the payment of the victim fine surcharge,” Wilson-Raybould said.

The amounts also don’t change: a 30 per cent surcharge on any fine levied or a flat fee of $100 or $200, depending on the offence, if the sentencing judge has not set a fine.

“That money is going to continue to flow when paid to the provinces and territories to bolster the monies that we provide through our Victims Fund to support services.”

The proposed legislation, which would amend Sec. 737 of the Criminal Code, also defines “undue hardship” as being unable to pay because of “precarious financial circumstances, including because of their unemployment, homelessness, lack of assets or significant financial obligations towards their dependents.”

It would also require offenders to apply for the exemption and excludes imprisonment by itself as something that would constitute undue hardship.

Wilson-Raybould acknowledged the changes as a recognition that before the Conservatives brought in their changes, things had gone too far in the other direction.

A 1994 study cited when the Conservatives brought in the changes showed the surcharge was only imposed 15 per cent of the time and actually collected in just 2.7 per cent of cases.

“In the past, judges were waiving the victim fine surcharge freely,” Wilson-Raybould said.

She also said she would be monitoring how the judges exercise their restored discretion.

‘SOMEONE IS EXTENSIVELY TESTING THE CORE DEFENSIVE CAPABILITIES OF THE COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE CRITICAL INTERNET SERVICES.’

tune 500 companies. That means a lot of disruption.

“It impacted quite a few users,” he said of the morning’s attack.

A full list of affected companies wasn’t immediately available, but major sites including Twitter and coder hangout Github said they briefly experienced problems earlier Friday.

For James Norton, the former deputy secretary at the Department of Homeland Security who now teaches on cybersecurity policy at Johns Hopkins University, the incident was an example of how attacks on key junctures in the network can yield massive disruption.

“I think you can see how fragile the Internet network actually is,” he said.

Dyn said in a series of statements that it first became aware of the attack around 7 a.m. local time and that services were restored about two hours later. A little more than two hours later, the company said it was working to mitigate another attack. A Dyn spokesman didn’t respond to questions seeking further information about the online onslaught.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is monitoring the situation, White House spokesman Josh Earnest

told reporters Friday. He said he had no information about who may be behind the disruption.

Security experts have recently expressed concern over increasing power of denial-of-service attacks following high-profile electronic assaults against investigative journalist Brian Krebs and French Internet service provider OVH .

In a widely shared essay titled Someone Is Learning How to Take Down the Internet, respected security expert Bruce Schneier said last month that major Internet infrastructure companies were seeing a series of worrying denial-of-service attacks.

“Someone is extensively testing the core defensive capabilities of the companies that provide critical Internet services,” he said.

Woman throws pumpkin seeds at PM to protest pipelines

Ottawa isn’t ruling out helping newspaper industry: heritage minister

HAMILTON — A woman who threw pumpkin seeds at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Hamilton was detained for questioning after being tackled to the ground by security.

Trudeau was leaving city hall after meeting with Mayor Fred Eisenberger, when the woman hurled the seeds at him, shouting, “Keep your promises!”

She was immediately tackled to the ground by security as Trudeau’s detail whisked him to his motorcade.

Earlier, she had been holding a banner reading “No New Pipelines” with a man who identified himself as David Johnson.

He said they want to know why Trudeau has “not yet reformed the National Energy Board or shut down their proceedings.”

Johnson did not know why his fellow protester was carrying pumpkin seeds.

RCMP officers took the woman into a meeting room at city hall for questioning, but it is not clear if she faced charges. The RCMP directed further inquiries to Hamilton police, who “made the arrest.” Hamilton Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

MONTREAL — The federal government isn’t ruling out offering financial support to the struggling newspaper industry, Heritage Minister Melanie Joly said Friday.

Newspapers are hurting and all options to help them are being considered, she told reporters after giving a speech to the Montreal Board of Trade.

“I fully appreciate the struggles that different media are facing,” she said. “I have said several times: everything is on the table. I am ready to talk about the different tools we have as a government to help and promote these areas.”

Asked specifically if her government is excluding offering money, she said, “my team is ready to look at all scenarios.”

Joly said she is maintaining an open invitation to all media stakeholders to participate in her department’s ongoing public consultations on the future of Canadian content in a digital world.

Several Quebec-based newspapers recently asked the federal and provincial governments for a temporary financial aid package to help them with their online shift.

Clinton camp prepares for Trump’s suspense WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Hillary Clinton’s campaign is increasingly preparing for the possibility that Donald Trump may never concede the presidential election should she win, a development that could enormously complicate the crucial early weeks of her preparations to take office.

Aiming to undermine any argument the Republican nominee may make about a “rigged” election, she hopes to roll up a large electoral vote margin in next month’s election. That could repudiate the New York billionaire’s message and project a governing mandate after the bitter, divisive presidential race.

Clinton’s team is also keeping a close eye on statements by national Republican leaders, predicting they could play an important role in how Trump’s accusations of electoral fraud might be perceived. That’s according to several Clinton campaign aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss internal strategy.

Campaign officials stress they are not taking the outcome of the election for granted. But Clinton and her team have begun thinking about how to position their candidate during the postelection period. Long one of the country’s most polarizing political figures, Clinton has begun telling audiences she’ll need their help in healing the country.

“I’ve got to figure out how we heal these divides,” she said in a Friday interview with a Tampa radio station WBTP. “We’ve got to get together. Maybe that’s a role that is meant to be for my presidency if I’m so fortunate to be there.”

A refusal by Trump to accept the election results would not only upend a basic tenet of American democracy, but also force Clinton to create a new playbook for handling the transfer of power. And a narrow victory would make it more difficult for her to claim substantial political capital at the start of her administration.

“Donald is still going to whine if he loses. But if the mandate is clear, I don’t think many people will follow him,” said Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, Clinton’s running mate, in an interview Thursday with CNN’s New Day. While Clinton’s campaign has long focused on maintaining pathways to cross the threshold of 270 electoral votes, it’s now looking to capture an expanded number of states that could also help determine control of the Senate — including Republican-leaning Arizona.

Polls indicate that Clinton has extended her advantage in several tossup states during the three fall debates, giving her campaign more confidence.

She has maintained stable leads in states such as Pennsylvania, Virginia and Colorado, as well as a narrow edge in Florida and North Carolina.

“They’re looking at it like this: We’ve got these doors of opportunity

open, let’s make sure we go down all of them,”’ said Jeremy Bird, the national field director for President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign who is helping Clinton’s team.

If Clinton wins the White House, she will enter as one of the least popular first-term presidents in generations. While Trump has suffered from high unfavourable ratings, particularly among women, Clinton has been hampered by polls showing more than half of the public considers her to be untrustworthy.

Some Republicans are already preparing for Trump’s defeat, downplaying the significance of a Clinton triumph.

“On Nov 8, Clinton’s claims of a mandate will fly in the face of reality.

She only won by not being Trump,” tweeted conservative writer Erick Erickson. Rolling up a big victory in the Electoral College would let Clinton push back against that notion and assert that voters had rejected what she has called Trump’s mean, divisive message.

In a race against Trump and independents Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, Clinton may struggle to reach 50 per cent of the vote. But competing in states such as Arizona and pushing for Senate victories in Missouri and Indiana might help Democrats in their quest to recapture the Senate and give her a better chance of surpassing Obama’s 332 electoral votes in the 2012 campaign.

Clinton’s campaign is making a significant push in Arizona, which offers 11 electoral votes and has stayed in the Republican column in all but one presidential election since 1952. Bill Clinton was the last Democrat to carry the state, in 1996.

First lady Michelle Obama courted voters in Phoenix on Thursday, following appearances by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and the Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea Clinton. The campaign is spending $2 million in advertising and toying with sending Clinton herself there before Election Day. “I think it’s clear that Hillary Clinton has a chance to win Arizona just like her husband did 20 years ago,” said Rodd McLeod, a Phoenix-based Democratic strategist who h e l p e d Clinton’s campaign during the primary.

Two other Republican-leaning states c o u l d

Under fire in Mosul, IS attacks another Iraqi city

prove tempting.

Georgia, which has had an influx of diverse voters in the Atlanta area, is considered a future battleground state, with many Democrats comparing it to North Carolina.

Utah overwhelmingly supported Mitt Romney, the nation’s first Mormon presidential nominee, with more than 72 per cent in 2012. But many of

the state’s Republicans have abandoned Trump and polls show Clinton and Trump in a tight contest against independent Evan McMullin, a conservative former CIA officer who graduated from Brigham Young University.

If McMullin captures Utah, he will be the first independent presidential candidate to win electoral votes since George Wallace in 1968.

OVER 20 CELEBRATE FALL

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KIRKUK, Iraq — Islamic State militants launched a wave of pre-dawn attacks in and around the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Friday, killing at least 14 people and setting off fierce clashes with Kurdish security forces that were still raging after sundown.

The assault appeared aimed at diverting attention from the Iraqi offensive to retake Mosul, and raised fears the extremists could lash out in unpredictable ways as they defend the largest city under their control and their last urban bastion in Iraq.

Multiple explosions rocked Kirkuk, and gunfire rang out around the provincial headquarters, where the fighting was concentrated. Smoke billowed over the city, and the streets were largely deserted out of fear of militant snipers. IS said its fighters targeted the provincial headquarters in a claim carried by its Aamaq news agency.

North of the city, three suicide bombers stormed a power plant in the town of Dibis, killing 13 workers, including four Iranian technicians, before blowing themselves up as police arrived, said Maj. Ahmed Kader Ali, the Dibis police chief.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Bahram Ghasemi, condemned the assault, which he said also wounded three Iranian workers, according to the official IRNA news agency. It was not immediately clear if Iranians were targeted in other attacks.

The Turkmeneli TV station, which had earlier shown live footage of smoke rising from outside the provincial headquarters, said in a news bulletin that one of its reporters, Ahmet Haceroglu, was killed by a sniper while covering the fighting.

There was no immediate word on casualties among other civilians or the Kurdish forces in Kirkuk. Police and hospital officials could not be reached for comment.

Kirkuk is some 100 miles (170 kilometres) from the IS-held city of Mosul, where Iraqi forces launched a wide-scale offensive on Monday. IS has in the past resorted to suicide bombings in and around Baghdad in response to battlefield losses elsewhere in the country. Kirkuk is an oil-rich city claimed by both Iraq’s central government and the largely autonomous Kurdish region. Kurdish forces assumed full control of the city in the summer of 2014, as Iraq’s army and police crumbled in the face of a lightning advance by IS. Kemal Kerkuki, a senior commander of Kurdish peshmerga forces west of Kirkuk, said the town where his base is located outside the city also came under attack early Friday, but that his forces repelled the assault.

He said IS maintains sleeper cells of militants in Kirkuk and surrounding villages. “We arrested one recently and he confessed,” he said, adding that Friday’s attackers may have posed as displaced civilians in order to infiltrate the city.

Bobyk seals win with bullet shot ALEXEYEV GETS FIRST WHL GOAL, SPACEK, HAGEL SCORE

BY JONATHAN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF Rebels 4 Hitmen 1 The Red Deer Rebels continued their winning ways with a victory over division rival Calgary Hitmen in Western Hockey League action.

They extended their winning streak to four games with a 4-1 win over the Hitmen at the Centrium Friday night.

“We played hard. I thought we had good legs and we moved our feet. At times I thought we needed to be stronger on pucks in our own zone, but I thought our forecheck was good and we put a lot of pucks on net,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter.

“I thought Lamber made some huge saves at key times, too.”

Hitmen’s forward Jakob Stukel started the scoring just over a minute into the game, but Rebels responded less than four minutes later when rookie defenceman Alexander Alexeyev scored his first WHL goal to tie it at 1-1.

“Our team needs to work and get production from different guys on different nights and that’s just the way it is. It’s always nice to see everybody get on the board every now and then,” said Sutter.

Michael Spacek scored his sixth goal of the season five minutes later on

a laser from inside the faceoff circle, giving the Rebels a 2-1 lead.

The Rebels had a golden opportunity early in the third period to pad their lead after the Hitmen were charged with back-to-back delay of game penalties, but failed to capitalize on the 5-on-3.

After killing off a couple of penalties of their own later on in the third period, the Rebels took advantage of their third power play of the game.

Colton Bobyk fired a rocket from the point, beating Hitmen goalie Cody Porter for his fourth goal of the season and giving the Rebels a 3-1 lead.

“Like I told him after he scored his goal tonight, 95 per cent of the time he shoots on the net he’ll score. His shot is a big part of his game. We play him on the power play a lot and we use him on 5-on-5 a lot. He just has to continue to improve in that area,” said Sutter.

Brandon Hagel added an empty net goal late in the third period for his second tally of the year.

Rebels finished the night 1-for-5 on the power play and out shot the Hitmen 41-32.

Spacek extended his point streak to seven games (6 goals, 4 assists) while Bobyk extended his point streak to five games (4 goals, 4 assists).

King’s comeback, but lose in overtime

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

RDC ATHLETICS

Trojans 4 Kings 3 (OT) PENHOLD — Going into overtime the RDC Kings had to feel good about themselves.

Not only did they score with less than a second on the clock to tie the game, but they’re usually one of the better teams in the Alberta Colleges Men’s Hockey League in overtime.

But it didn’t turn out that way as the SAIT Trojans scored three minutes into the four-on-four five-minute period to take a 4-3 victory at the Penhold Regional Multiplex Friday. ”It’s tough, when you go into overtime, anything can happen,” said Kings head coach Trevor Keeper.

“Usually we’re very successful in overtime as we’re a very aggressive team and when we don’t have the puck we’re usually on our man like a dog on a bone.

But in this case we get caught three or four feet off a player and we get (Jordan) McTaggart injured on the shot. That resulted in giving them space for a second shot.”

Dean Allison, a second-year forward who was on

the left point, rifled a perfect shot high to the glove side on a screened Mike Salmon.

“Salmon was in position, but they got a chance to get the shot away through a screen and it was just under the bar,” said Keeper.

The Kings trailed 3-1 late in the third period, but Zak Hicks darted in off the point to grab a loose puck and score on the power play at 14:28 and then Dustin Gorgi potted his second of the game in the final second to tie it.

The tying goal came off a perfectly set up play. Riley Simpson won the draw with six seconds remaining and with Salmon on the bench. He got the puck back to the left point. The puck was quickly moved cross to the right point which resulted with a shot on goal and a wild scramble.

“We’ve worked on that play and when we called the time out the guys talked about it and were zoned in right away,” said Keeper, who was pleased with the team’s overall effort.

“We were happy with the way we competed and

fought back,” he said. “We found a way to get that power play goal and the game tying goal. I’m proud of the guys.”

The Trojans grabbed a 2-0 first period lead as Hunter Mills redirected a shot past Salmon at 9:05 and Matthew Saharchuk back-handed a perfect shot high over Salmon after the Kings lost containment in their zone when they got caught running around trying to take the body.

Gorgi scored at 9:57 of the second period and Michael Lyle put SAIT up 3-1 at 3:15 of the third period.

Salmon finished with 29 saves while former Red Deer Rebel Bolton Pouliot made 26 saves for SAIT. Gorgi was named the RDC player of the game.

“He’s been good all season,” said Keeper. “He’s works well with his linemates, does a good job of finding space and is strong on the puck and can score. He doesn’t play like a first-year player.”

The teams meet again tonight at SAIT while the Kings return home Oct. 29 against MacEwan University.

Stamps win 14th straight, perfect at home

Toronto Argonauts’ Eric Martin, right, pressures Calgary Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell during first half CFL football action in Calgary, Friday.

Stampeders 31 Argonauts 13 CALGARY — Davaris Daniels caught a pair of touchdown passes from quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell to lead the Calgary Stampeders to a 3113 win over the Toronto Argonauts on Friday.

Thanks to the victory, the Stampeders became the seventh team in CFL history to win all nine regular season games at home. Calgary also finished 9-0 at McMahon Stadium back in 1993 and 1994.

Rene Paredes kicked three field goals for the Stampeders (15-1-1), who won their 14th straight game and extended their unbeaten streak to 16 in a row.

Andrew Buckley ran for his eighth touchdown of the season — and third in as many games — in the second quarter to tie the single-season record for TDs by a Canadian quarterback. Russ Jackson also had eight touchdowns in 1962 for the Ottawa Rough Riders.

Brandon Whitaker caught a touchdown pass from Toronto quarterback Ricky Ray, while Lirim Hajrullahu kicked a pair of field goals for the Argonauts (5-12).

tention. Unfortunately for the Argos, they were eliminated before the first half even ended due to Hamilton’s 3936 overtime win over the Ottawa Redblacks.

The Stamps took a 3-0 lead after a 32-yard field goal by Rene Paredes at 3:39 of the first quarter.

The Argos answered right back two minutes later when Ray tossed a twoyard touchdown pass to Whitaker to cap off a five-play, 75-yard drive.

Paredes kicked a 37-yard field goal late in the opening quarter before Mitchell engineered a seven-play, 90-yard drive that culminated in a oneyard TD run by Buckley early in the second. Lemar Durant then hauled in a short pass from Mitchell for a twopoint convert to give the Stamps a 14-7 lead.

The teams then traded field goals before halftime. Paredes kicked his third of the game from 48 yards out before Hajrullahu connected on a 10-yard chip shot with 16 seconds left on the clock.

Hajrullahu booted another field goal from 15 yards out early in the third quarter before Daniels hauled in a 41-yard touchdown pass from Mitchell on Calgary’s next drive to put the Stamps up 24-13. Daniels then caught another pass from Mitchell deep in the Toronto end zone at 5:47 of the fourth quarter to round out the scoring.

Leidenius shot a final round 81 for a 54-hole total of 239, nine strokes back of Addison Wallwin of Georgian College of Barrie, Ont. Hayley Phillips finished 29th at 315 after shooting a final round 101.

On the men’s side, Cole Morrison had a final round 78 and tied for 21st at 226, 18 strokes back of Connor Watt of Humber College of Toronto.

Ryan Skoreyko came on in a tie for 39th at 231 after shooting a final round 74, while Cody Clipperton tied for 63 after an 81 Friday and Mitchell McKinnon shot an 86 and was 73rd at 254.

The RDC men’s team placed 13th.

Shannon Szabados makes season debut in relief with SPHL’s Peoria Rivermen PEORIA, Ill. — Shannon Szabados came on in relief to stop 13-of-15 shots Friday night in her debut with the Peoria Rivermen of the Souther Professional Hockey League.

Szabados played 24:55 and entered the game after starter Storm Phaneuf turned aside 11-of-15 shots.

The Rivermen fell 6-1 to the Huntsville Havoc in their home opener.

Szabados, 30, played the last two seasons for the Columbus Cottonmouths, who also play in the SPHL. The Edmonton native posted a 20-20-6 record with a save percentage over .900 each year.

The five-foot-nine, 150-pound goaltender helped guide Canada to gold medals at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and 2010 Vancouver Games.

Notre Dame Cougars win over Lacombe gives them first place in the city division Cougars 39 Rams 18 LACOMBE — The Notre Dame Cougars did what they had to do to wrap up first place in the City Division of the Central Alberta High School Football League with a 39-18 victory over the Lacombe Rams at M.E. Global Athletic Park Friday.

The win gave the Cougars a 5-1 record, and even if they tied Hunting Hills for first place, they would have the edge thanks to points for and against between the two teams. Hunting hills played Lindsay Thurber Friday, but the result was unavailable.

Johannes Smith had three touchdowns and rushed for 180-yards on 23 carries for the Cougars.

Justin Fedun added one major and had 193 yards rushing on 26 carries. Payton LaGrange, who grabbed two passes for 16 yards, and Jacob Plamondon, who had two receptions for 52 yards, had the other Notre Dame touchdowns. Isaac Colosimo added three converts.

Richard Jans, on a 55-yard reception, David Mueller, on a 94-yard pass and run play, and Matt Darnell, on a seven-yard pass, scored for Lacombe.

The Cougars held the Rams to minus 22 yards rushing. Rams Jonathan Ericson hit on 10 of 23 passes for 241 yards.

The playoffs go next Friday in Lacombe with Notre Dame facing Lindsay Thurber and Hunting Hills clashing with Lacombe.

Australia’s Minjee Lee opens 6-stroke lead in Blue Bay LPGA HAINAN, China — Minjee Lee patiently navigated Jian Lake’s undulating greens again Friday to stretch her lead to six strokes in the Blue Bay LPGA. Already a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour, the 20-year-old Australian followed her opening 7-under 65 with a bogey-free 67 in windier afternoon conditions off Hainan Clear Water Bay. “I had a pretty solid round,” Lee said. “I had 3 under the first nine, so I was happy with my start.

In the middle, I had a couple loose shots here and there, but I could get up-and-down. Then I finished off with two birdies. Overall, pretty solid round.”

Three days after Typhoon Sarika roared through the South China Sea beach resort, the wind finally kicked up as Lee played the back nine. The wind makes it more difficult to hit targets in valleys and on plateaus on the large, tiered greens.

“I don’t think it’s easy out there,” Lee said. “It’s still windy and the greens are really undulated, so you have to be in the right places. It’s not easy.”

Germany’s Caroline Masson was second at 6 under after her second straight 69. She birdied four of the last five holes — the lone par coming on a 3-foot birdie miss on the par-4 15th.

Brooke Henderson was even par after a 75.

The 19-year-old Canadian is playing for the fourth straight week in Asia and plans to make it six in a row with stops in Malaysia and Japan.

Claressa Shields named Sportswomen of the Year NEW YORK (AP) — Claressa Shields did a cartwheel in the ring after winning her second Olympic boxing gold medal in Rio, and she’s not done celebrating.

Shields and water polo goaltender Ashleigh Johnson were recognized as Sportswomen of the Year at the Women’s Sports Foundation’s annual dinner Wednesday night.

The 21-year-old Shields will decide in the coming years if she wants to add ‘Tokyo’ for the 2020 Games to the tattoo of the Olympic rings with Rio and London on her right biceps.

“I’m back in the gym, trying to figure out what’s the best move next,” Shields said. “I’m taking my time with that. I have a couple of different options. I

can go pro or stay amateur for 2020.”

Johnson had 51 saves in Rio, including nine in the final against Italy, when the Americans won their second consecutive Olympic gold medal in water polo.

“It was definitely a perfect ending to all the work and effort and sacrifices we made in the past 1 ½ years,” Johnson said. “It was a big thing to carry on the legacy.”

A senior psychology major at Princeton, she hopes to lead the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament next spring. The water polo team just missed the tournament while the 6-foot-1 goalie with the wide wingspan trained for Rio. Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman won the Billie Jean King Contribution Award. Ackerman was the first president of the WNBA, now in its 20th season, and served on the boards of USA Basketball and the International Basketball Federation (FIBA).

Pakistani pro squash player Maria Toorpakai Wazir, who dressed as a boy to play sports and later moved to Canada after receiving death threats from the Taliban, earned the Wilma Rudolph Courage Award.

King, a winner of 39 Grand Slam titles in her tennis career, created the Women’s Sports Foundation in 1974. The foundation provides travel and training grants and community-based sports opportunities.

Presenters on Wednesday night included Jessica Mendoza, Mary Carillo, Laila Ali, Meryl Davis, Aimee Mullins and Sanya Richards-Ross.

The foundation also paid tribute to the late Pat Summitt, the Tennessee coach who won eight national titles and a Division I record 1,098 games in her 38-year career. Former athletic director Joan Cronan and players Tamika Catchings and Kara Lawson honored their legendary coach.

Shields defended her middleweight title and became the first U.S. boxer to win consecutive gold medals in the Olympic sport that added women in 2012.

She’s training and getting acclimated in her new place in Boynton Beach, Florida. The native of Flint, Michigan, spent the year before Rio at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She moved to Florida three weeks ago.

“I love it here, just got my furniture,” she said.

“I like the vibe and the people down here. They’re very family-oriented and this place just makes me happy.”

In the gold-medal match in Rio, Shields was faster and stronger than her taller Dutch opponent Nouchka Fontijn. Shields, who wore Superman knee socks, encouraged Fontijn in the fourth round to put up a better fight.

“I didn’t mean to taunt her in the last round,” Shields said. “When I fight with my hands down, it’s more letting her think she has opportunities and a shot when she doesn’t.”

Blue Jays hope to get over ALCS hump next year

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — When you get past the potential departure of two of the team’s top sluggers, there is plenty to like about the future of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Yes, Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista are set to become free agents and chances are good at least one of them will not be back. Their offensive production will be hard to replace but as the cliche goes, good pitching beats good hitting, and the Blue Jays could have one of the best staffs in baseball in 2017.

The rotation is essentially set for next year with American League earned-run average leader Aaron Sanchez and 20-game winner J.A. Happ providing a stellar one-two punch.

Marco Estrada posted decent numbers even with a nagging back injury and Marcus Stroman cleared the 200-inning plateau despite a so-so first half.

Free-agent knuckleballer R.A. Dickey is unlikely to return but Francisco Liriano or even reliever Joe Biagini could fill that slot.

The bullpen looked shaky over the final month of the season but shone in the playoffs. Toronto relievers were not charged with a single earned run in the five-game American League Championship Series loss to the Cleveland Indians.

Roberto Osuna is one of the best young closers in baseball. Brett Cecil and Joaquin Benoit are set to become free agents but Jason Grilli could have his option picked up and serve as a setup man.

Outfield depth will be a concern if Bautista leaves and free agent Michael Saunders doesn’t return. The infield is in pretty good shape as long as second baseman and leadoff hitter Devon Travis can stay healthy.

General manager Ross Atkins still has several things on his to-do list. In addition to dealing with free agency season, he’ll be looking to add some left-handed bats, improve team speed and perhaps add a switch-hitter or two.

A strong core — anchored by Troy Tulowitzki, Russell Martin and Josh Donaldson — will remain in place.

Team payroll could rise given the strong attendance numbers and the fanbase is energized after back-toback appearances in the ALCS. Grilli is proud of the team’s effort and confident the Blue Jays can take it to the next level.

“I’ll go to the final four any day,” he said after this week’s Game 5 loss.

“You get your foot in the door, it’s what you hope for. You’ve got a shot.

Baseball is very unforgiving. You give it your best effort and you hope that you’re the last team on the field spraying champagne and in a two-week stupor after that. So we’ve still got time.”

Bautista and Encarnacion, both consistent home run hitters and run producers, are the two big dominoes for the team and could set the tone for the entire free agent market.

They have become faces of the franchise in recent years. However, going younger may not be such a bad thing for Atkins and the Blue Jays.

Bautista’s numbers were down this year in an injury-plagued campaign.

He just turned 36 and his arm and de-

fensive range aren’t what they used to be.

Encarnacion, meanwhile, turns 34 in January. The first baseman/designated hitter will still cash in after hitting 42 homers — the fifth straight year he has cleared the 30-homer mark — and driving in 127 runs.

“What they do on the field speaks for itself,” Estrada said. “But what they do in here, in this clubhouse, means even more. They’re both leaders. We need them and I really hope we get them both back. But I know that’s not (always) the case, that’s not how it always works, but you never know. I guess I’ll pray that they’ll both be back.

“But if not, we have to move on.

Right now what we have coming back — guaranteed to come back — we’re

almost the same team again.”

The Blue Jays were 89-73 on the regular season. Toronto beat Baltimore in the wild-card game and swept the Texas Rangers before falling short against Cleveland.

The Indians scored only 12 runs in the entire series but took advantage of their opportunities. The Blue Jays’ sizzling offence was hushed by the Indians’ hurlers, who blanked Toronto twice and held the Blue Jays to just eight runs overall.

“The key is we want to take that next step one of these days, hopefully it’s next year,” said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “But these guys, they did a hell of a job.”

Toronto hasn’t reached the Fall Classic since winning a second straight World Series title in 1993.

‘Stupidity’ hampering Lions: Buono

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Wally Buono’s explanation for the B.C. Lions’ recent failings is simple.

“Stupidity,” said the club’s head coach and general manager. “The games that we’ve lost in the last (month) have been basically a result of not being smart, not playing smart.”

B.C. downed the Montreal Alouettes at home on Sept. 9 to improve to 8-3 on the season and looked like a pretty good bet to host a CFL playoff game for the first time since 2012.

But following their bye, the Lions have dropped three of four, including back-to-back losses to Winnipeg that saw the Blue Bombers move past B.C. into second place in the West Division standings.

Last weekend’s defeat to Winnipeg at home was especially tough to swallow. The Lions blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter thanks to their fifth and six turnovers of the evening — an ill-advised interception from quarterback Jonathon Jennings with under three minutes to play and a fumble by kick returner Chris Rainey after the Blue Bombers tied the score that set up the winning field goal.

Buono, the CFL’s all-time wins leader at 263 and counting, said his team has done a lot of good things over this difficult stretch, but key mistakes, especially late, have cost them dearly.

“Sometimes, it’s who makes the least mistakes at the most critical times,” he said. “If you look at the three games out of four that we’ve lost, the (formula is play well) down to the wire and then piss it away.”

Jennings has led the Lions to comeback wins in the fourth quarter this season, but he was still kicking himself this week after his third interception against Winnipeg.

“We’re not going to win football games playing like that,” said the second-year pivot. “I can’t lead the team to a win playing football like that. I can’t have turnovers like that. It’s something we’ve got to learn from.”

B.C. linebacker Adam Bighill said it was important that the team let the loss linger a little longer than normal to ensure the mistakes, which also included bad penalties and missed tackles on defence, aren’t repeated.

“You’ve got to let it sting and understand the opportunity that was missed,” said Bighill. “You have to reflect on how things are going to have to be changed and what needs to be done and be honest with yourselves.

“There’s a time where you have to reflect and let it burn a bit, but you quickly thereafter have to make the necessary changes to overcome it.”

The Lions (9-6) will look to make those changes when they host the Edmonton Eskimos (8-7) at B.C. Place Stadium on Saturday. The Eskimos have won three straight — including a 27-23 victory over B.C. last month that started the Lions’ slide — and are coming off a bye of their own.

Edmonton Eskimos’ quarterback Mike Reilly throws a pass during first half CFL football action against the Montreal Alouettes in Montreal, October 10, 2016. The Eskimos meet the struggling, and hosting, B.C. Lions Saturday in Vancouver.

“We were playing good football before the break and it’s imperative for us to pick up where we left off,” Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly told reporters in the Alberta capital this week. “Half the struggle with a bye week is trying to make sure you can continue that momentum that you built up.”

The Lions will have to be wary of a potent aerial assault led by Reilly and the CFL’s top two receivers, Adarius Bowman (1,609 yards) and Derel Walker (1,464 yards).

“They’re playing some good ball,” said B.C. linebacker Solomon Elimimian, the league’s leading tackler with 113. “What’s big when you play football is confidence. They have some confidence.”

While both teams have already clinched playoff spots, another loss to the Eskimos would bump the

Lions to fourth in the West and put them in position for the crossover berth in the East, with both Winnipeg and Edmonton owning a tiebreaker over B.C. That might not be such a bad thing.

The Lions are 7-1 against the East this season and just 2-5 against the West, but with three games to go they want to hit the post-season on a high.

“If we’re going into the playoffs with a 3-0 record, I’ll take that any day,” said B.C. defensive back Ryan Phillips. “Going into the playoffs without confidence never breeds wins. That’s just the reality.

“I’ll take my confident team with a 3-0 record going against anybody in the West, I don’t care who it is, than a team that’s not winning and making the crossover.”

De Grasse trades spikes for books, fulfilling promise to mom

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Andre De Grasse is on a break between classes at the University of Southern California, and for once he has nowhere to be.

There have been no track practices or lifting sessions for the 21-year-old for weeks. He hasn’t run down the track since his stunning Olympic debut at the Rio Games. It’s been all about the books as he finishes his sociology degree — fulfilling a promise he made to his mom Beverley.

“I made a promise to her and a lot of people, even here at USC, that I would come back and finish what I started because I didn’t want to leave that chapter of my life behind,” De Grasse said after class, from Los Angeles. “I enjoyed my time here at USC so much, and a lot of people see me here putting in a lot of work and effort, and I didn’t want to let that go to waste, and I thought this would be the perfect time now that the Olympics are over.”

The sprinter from Markham, Ont., took two months off since he captured a silver and two bronze medals in Rio. He kept active playing pickup basketball or soccer with friends.

But it was back to training on Friday. De Grasse was set to fly to Phoenix on Thursday night to work with his coach Stu McMillan for the weekend, and the plan is to spend two or three days per week in Arizona until his schoolwork is complete, and he can move back to Arizona. He’ll finish his degree in December.

De Grasse was in dire need of the break, McMillan said.

“When you look at Andre’s last 18 months of his career, it’s been pretty hard, I think he needed a longer recovery than most,” the coach said from Phoenix. “He pretty much went straight from worlds in 2015, took a couple weeks and was back into training, so it was long 18 months, 24 months of training for him with two major competitions and a lot of stress, so just felt it prudent that we take a longer recovery for him.”

De Grasse’s career has skyrocketed since he left the USC campus last winter, forgoing his final season of NCAA eligibility to turn professional. Returning to the USC campus, his college friends were

“A lot of people joke around because they knew me before that happened, so they’re always trying to tell me ‘Hey, don’t get too big-headed now, we knew you before all that happened,”’ De Grasse said, laughing. “They keep me humble.”

He’s posed for his fair share of pictures, though, and has done some Q&As and student-athlete panels at the request of his professors.

De Grasse was one of Canada’s most captivating storylines of the Rio Olympics, his relationship with Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt painting some unforgettable pictures.

Bolt will race at next summer’s world championships in London in what’s being billed as his “farewell” meet. De Grasse can’t wait for another shot at the 30-year-old.

LE-HB150LED TEMPORARY HIGH BAY LIGHT

“If it is going to be his last time, I’ve got to just try to enjoy the moment and have fun and go out there and give it my all against him one last time,” De Grasse said. “It’s going to be interesting to see where I’m at next year, and see where he’s at.”

As far as unseating the world’s greatest sprinter, however, De Grasse is measuring his words. The young runner said his confidence has sometimes been misinterpreted.

“I’ve noticed that in the past year, people tell me about interviews I do, and they say ‘They make you sound like you’re cocky but you’re not really a cocky guy,”’ De Grasse said.

“I don’t want to rub people the wrong way where I sound cocky and say I’m going to beat Bolt. At the same time, I’m confident I can go out there and compete with him, and beat him.”

Great One thrilled about Laine GRETZKY SAYS HE’S EXCITED TO SEE JETS’ ROOKIE PLAY IN THE HERITAGE CLASSIC

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — When Wayne Gretzky says he’s looking forward to seeing Jets rookie Patrik Laine play in person, you know the hockey world is pumped up about the potential of the Finnish forward.

Gretzky is in Winnipeg for the Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic, where he’ll captain the Edmonton Oilers alumni team against the Jets old-timers on Saturday at Investors Group Field.

The scoring legend will join other fans on Sunday to watch the regular-season NHL outdoor game between the Jets and Oilers.

“I haven’t seen him play live yet. I’m looking forward to that Sunday,” Gretzky said of Laine after the alumni teams practised Friday at MTS Centre.

“The other night when he scored three goals is great for the Jets and wonderful for the city. He’s bringing an excitement and an enthusiasm to the organization and the city.”

The 18-year-old Laine notched a hat trick Wednesday, including the tying goal and overtime winner, in a 5-4 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He now has four goals and one assist in four games.

“When you can score goals, people love you,” Gretzky said. “And let me tell you, I played with (Luc) Robitaille, I played with Jari (Kurri), I played with Brett Hull. They loved to score.

“And you’ve got to love to score. I loved to score.

And you can tell that kid (Laine) loves to score.”

The spotlight on Laine, the second-overall pick in this year’s NHL draft, is especially intense in his homeland.

Finnish sports reporter Pekka Jalonen arrived in Manitoba last week to chronicle Laine’s first few NHL games for the Iltalehti newspaper, as well as the Heritage Classic.

“People in Finland, they are crazy about Laine at the moment,” said Jalonen, who’s been with the paper since 1983. “They want to know everything about him.”

Jalonen is trying to satisfy that curiosity.

In his first 10 days in Winnipeg, he filed 85 stories, with about 60 of those keying on Laine, he said. The rest have been about other Finnish NHLers and alumni.

“It got so crazy last summer that women’s magazines, they wanted to interview (Laine) at his home, everywhere, about his girlfriend and everything,” Jalonen said.

“Somebody even offered to write a book about him already. His agent said no to everything.”

Laine’s girlfriend, Sanna Kiukas, plays women’s hockey in Finland.

Jalonen also visited Winnipeg to cover former Jets star Teemu Selanne’s NHL rookie season in 1992-93.

The attention on Laine is more extreme these days with the Internet, he said.

“He’s handling this situation very well,” Jalonen said of Laine. “He has a lot of self-confidence, but he’s down to earth. The only thing he’s interested in is to help his team.”

The foreign media spotlight on Laine has also included a Vancouver-based reporter for a Finnish broadcasting company and a Finnish reporter from Toronto who writes for a different newspaper and

Laine is taking it all in stride.

“Of course, everybody’s interested in how I’m doing here, the Finnish people,” Laine said matter-of-factly. “It’s good to get them a little bit of information from here.”

If anyone knows about handling the media glare, it’s Selanne.

The “Finnish Flash” is playing in the alumni game and has talked to Laine about the NHL and the city where he got his own start at age 22.

Selanne tweeted his pride after Laine’s hat trick, writing “new sheriff in town” followed by three hat symbols and the words “congrats” and “wow.”

“I was really hoping that he’s going to have a good start to get the confidence going right away and that’s what has happened,” said Selanne, 46, who was given the key to the city by Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman on Friday.

“That’s awesome. The whole city’s excited, all the

Ticats beat Redblacks in 2OT

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks were on the verge of clinching their second straight East Division title, but the Hamilton Tiger-Cats remembered what was at stake.

Trailing by 15 at the half, the Tiger-Cats clawed their way back and Brett Maher kicked a 38-yard field goal in double overtime to give Hamilton a 3936 victory over the Redblacks.

The win secured second-place Hamilton (7-9-0) a playoff spot while also keeping the club in the hunt for the East Division crown. The Ticats now trail the Redblacks (7-8-1) by just a single point with two weeks to play in the regular season.

“Huge for our momentum right now. Still a lot on the line heading into the last two games and it’s almost like a playoff atmosphere for us,” said Tiger-Cats quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, who threw two touchdown passes.

Maher, who had four field goals and a single, was asked if it felt good to have success against the team he played for during the 2014 season.

“I’d be lying if I said no,” said Maher. “There’s a lot of good guys in that locker room that I talk to before and after the game, but more importantly we got a big division win at an important time of the year.”

“I feel like I got a monkey off my back and I finally got a win in Ottawa. They’re a good franchise and a good team and I have a lot of respect for them, but at the same time we play to win.”

The Redblacks turned the ball over on their second possession of overtime after quarterback Henry Burris was stripped while being sacked.

Maher had an 18-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime to give the Tiger-Cats a 36-33 lead but Chris Milo connected from 45-yards out to tie the game 36-36.

“It’s disappointing. At this time of year you want to be playing your best football and we showed we can be a pretty good team at times. I’ll give Hamilton credit. They made the plays they needed to win the game and we obviously fell short,” Redblacks coach Rick Campbell said.

“Guys are disappointed because it was a huge opportunity and things were looking good. Just goes to show you have to play for 60 minutes and finish the game and we didn’t get it done.”

At 2:42 of the fourth quarter, a 10-yard touchdown

Hockey BRIEFS Flyers forward Dale Weise suspended for 3 games NEW YORK — Philadelphia Flyers forward Dale Weise was suspended for three games without pay by the NHL on Friday for an illegal check to Anaheim defenceman Korbinian Holzer’s head.

The hit came in the second period of the Flyers’ 3-2 home loss Thursday night. Weise wasn’t called for a penalty.

pass from Masoli to John Chiles, once converted, pulled the Tiger-Cats to within a single point of the Redblacks. Burris responded with a four-yard touchdown pass to Ernest Jackson, but the extra point was wide and the lead was seven at 33-26.

Hamilton tied the game tied the game when CJ Gable completed a five-yard catch-and-run touchdown from Masoli with less than five minutes to play.

The Tiger-Cats scored the only points of the third quarter thanks to a one-yard touchdown run from Jeff Mathews on the first drive of the second half and a single point off a 37-yard missed field-goal attempt from Maher, cutting their deficit to 27-19.

The Redblacks scored on all of their first-half possessions except one — an interception thrown

by Burris — as they took a 27-12 lead into the second half.

The lone punt of the half came off the foot of Maher, but it led to six points for the Tabbies after Tristan Jackson misplayed the punt and the ball ended up on the Ottawa 20-yard line.

Three plays later Masoli completed a four-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Elliott at 13:28, but the failed extra point left Hamilton trailing 20-12.

Burris then marched the Redblacks down the field and with just nine seconds to play in the half Mossis Madu Jr., ran the ball in for a two-yard score and a 27-12 Redblacks lead after Milo converted the play.

Prior to that, Milo and Maher traded respective field goals of 12 and 34 yards in the opening four minutes of the half giving the Redblacks a 13-6 lead.

After Antoine Pruneau intercepted Masoli on the Ottawa goal line and returned the ball 53 yards, Burris connected with Jeron Griner for an 18-yard touchdown reception, putting the Redblacks ahead 20-6.

Milo had opened the scoring with a 46-yard field goal on the opening drive of the game to give the Redblacks a 3-0 lead, but Maher tied the score on the Tiger-Cats first drive with a 38-yard field goal of his own.

An 11-yard touchdown pass from Burris to Jackson late in the first quarter gave the Redblacks a 10-3 lead.

The Redblacks will have a home-and-home series with the Blue Bombers starting next week in Winnipeg to close out their regular season. The Tiger-Cats will host the Edmonton Eskimos and Montreal Alouettes in their final two games.

The suspension will cost Weise $39,167.

Capitals’ Winnik loses part of ear blocking shot SUNRISE, Fla. — Washington forward Daniel Winnik lost a part of his right ear when he was stuck in the head blocking a shot in the Capitals’ 4-2 victory Thursday night at Florida.

The only Washington skater who doesn’t wear a protective visor, Winnik was hit when he slid to block Reilly Smith’s shot in the third period.

“He got the puck sort of in the ear hole and it sort of pinched off his ear,” Capitals coach Barry Trotz said Thursday night. “Trainers looked at him, and he was fine, just missing a piece of his ear. It got chewed up a bit. It’s just a small piece, but it got chewed up.”

Finns are excited. That’s a great thing.”

Selanne left his mark in Winnipeg when he scored league rookie records of 76 goals and 132 points in 84 games. He was traded to Anaheim in February 1996 and retired in 2014 after 1,451 NHL games.

This summer, he began a scoring hockey academy in Finland and taught 16-year-old forwards from his country’s junior national team.

He said scoring is his “passion” and he didn’t dismiss the possibility Laine could follow in his rookie footsteps if he stays healthy and continues to play on Winnipeg’s top line.

“I think he has all the tools to score 76 or whatever, a lot of goals,” Selanne said. “But it’s not going to be easy.

“You get only one chance, a one-year chance. But those are just numbers. I’m just excited that he’s doing good and I’m going to follow him very closely.”

Columbus rookie steals the spotlight

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS, Ohio — Rookie defenceman Zach Werenski had a goal and an assist, and teammates Nick Foligno and William Karlsson picked up their first goals of the season as Columbus beat Chicago 3-2 on Friday night.

Columbus’ Sergei Bobrovsky blocked 32 shots as the Blue Jackets picked up their first win of the season, avoiding a repeat of last season’s disastrous 0-8 start.

Tyler Motte and Richard Panik scored for Chicago (2-3-0), and Corey Crawford had 25 saves.

The Blue Jackets (1-2-0) took the lead when the 19-year-old Werenski netted a wrist shot from the point during a power play at 9:10 in the first period.

It was his team-leading second goal of the season.

ISLANDERS 3, COYOTES 2 NEW YORK (AP) — Johnny Boychuk’s short-handed goal early in the third period lifted New York to the victory.

Dennis Seidenberg and Ryan Strome also scored for New York, and Jaroslav Halak stopped 23 shots for his first win of the season and the Islanders’ second in three home games after opening with two road losses.

Brad Richardson and Radim Vrbata scored 13 seconds apart in the first period to tie the score for the Coyotes. Louis Domingue had 28 saves as Phoenix lost its third straight on the road after one home win.

The game marked the first NHL meeting between the Strome brothers. Dylan Strome, 19, was the third overall pick by the Coyotes in the 2015 draft and made his debut earlier this week. Ryan Strome, 23, was the fifth overall pick in the Islanders in the 2011 draft.

RED WINGS 5, PREDATORS 3 DETROIT (AP) — Gustav Nyquist had a goal and an assist for Detroit.

Justin Abdelkader, Drew Miller, Tomas Tatar and Darren Helm also scored as Detroit won its third straight. Petr Mrazek stopped 30 shots.

P.K. Subban, Mike Ribeiro and Mike Fisher scored for Nashville, which has lost three straight.

Pekka Rinne finished with 38 saves.

Fisher’s power-play goal with 4:46 left pulled the Predators within 4-3. It was Fisher’s third goal, all on the power play.

Helm had an empty-net power-play score with 22 seconds left, his fourth goal of the season, to seal the win.

Inflation rate up 1.3% last month: StatsCan

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Weaker-than-expected inflation and a drop in retail sales helped to fuel speculation Friday about a possible interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada.

While economists say the bar for a cut is high, the economic data did nothing to quell talk about a future rate cut following comments by Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz earlier this week that the possibility was actively discussed by the central bank’s governing council.

Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter said the weak economic data may stoke talk that the Bank of Canada will cut interest rates at some point over the next six months.

“I think what we’re going to be watching is what happens to home sales in the next three to four

months and what happens to exports in the next few months. I think those really are the keys,” Porter said.

The Bank of Canada downgraded its economic outlook in its fall monetary policy report this week due to expected softness in the housing market and a weak outlook for exports.

The central bank cut its forecast for economic growth to 1.1 per cent for this year, down from its July projection of 1.3 per cent, and lowered its estimate for 2017 to two per cent compared with an earlier call for 2.2 per cent.

Statistics Canada said Friday that the consumer price index was up 1.3 per cent in September compared with a year ago.

The increase was up from a year-over-year increase of 1.1 per cent in August.

Economists had expected inflation to clock in at 1.5 per cent in September, according to Thomson

Reuters.

CIBC economist Nick Exarhos said the tame inflation should give the Bank of Canada room to cut interest rates if the economy weakens further.

“The Bank of Canada struck a decisively dovish tone this week, and the latest set of figures on the Canadian economy give reason for investors to remain cautious on the Canadian outlook,” Exarhos wrote in a report.

The Bank of Canada’s core index, which excludes some of the most volatile components, increased 1.8 per cent compared with a year ago, matching the gain in August and in line with economists’ estimates.

Prices were up in all eight major components that it tracks, with the shelter and transportation sectors contributing the most to the rise.

Bombardier staffing in a tailspin 2,000 OF THE 7,500 JOB CUTS ARE ACROSS CANADA

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Bombardier said Friday it plans to eliminate 7,500 positions — more than 10 per cent of its global workforce — through the end of 2018, the company’s second mass round of layoffs in less than a year.

About 2,000 positions will be cut across Canada, including 1,500 in Quebec, the Montreal-based aerospace giant said Friday. Two-thirds of all the job losses will come from Bombardier’s transportation division, with the rest from its aerospace operations.

“I know these aren’t easy decisions in the shortterm,” CEO Alain Bellemare said in an interview.

“But they are the right decisions to ensure the future of the company.”

‘IT’S THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN PROTECT THE THOUSANDS OF JOBS IN THE INDUSTRY AND AT BOMBARDIER. IT’S A VERY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY AND IT’S IMPORTANT TO TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE IN THIS CONTEXT.’ - BOMBARDIER CEO ALAINE BELLEMARE In February, Bombardier announced plans to cut 7,000 positions by the end of next year as it struggled to sell its signature CSeries passenger jet in the face of growing competition from rivals abroad.

Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) said the latest round of job cuts is intended to save about US$300 million a year and is part of its recovery plan launched last year to improve profitability and competitiveness by 2020.

Bellemare said the measure will enable Bombardier to continue investing in its operations and secure more rail and plane work.

The job losses will be partially offset by more than 3,700 new hires as it ramps up production of the CSeries plane and new Global 7000 business aircraft, as well as builds railcars for customers in Toronto and elsewhere, he added.

He said the new jobs will be created in countries where labour costs are cheaper but also within Bombardier’s existing network of operations.

“It’s the only way that we can protect the thousands of jobs in the industry and at Bombardier,” he said.

“It’s a very competitive industry and it’s important to take the necessary steps to remain competitive in this context.”

Bombardier said it expects to record between US$225 million and US$275 million in restructuring charges through the end of next year starting in the fourth quarter.

The announcement comes as Bombardier’s hand for federal help remains extended, about a year after it asked Ottawa for a US$1-billion investment.

Bombardier is making a business decision and that won’t affect negotiations about that appeal for aid it is having with the federal government, Transport Minister Marc Garneau said.

“Those discussions are continuing and there is nothing in today’s announcement that will change any of that,” he said in Montreal.

In Ottawa, Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains said the federal government is focused on how to

“We very much want to be part of the solution but we have to find and make sure we have the conditions for growth,” he said.

“It’s not connected with the job losses here. It’s really much focused on the future prospects of the company.”

Bombardier has received a US$1-billion investment in the CSeries jet from the Quebec government and sold a 30 per cent stake in Bombardier Transportation to Quebec’s pension fund manager, the Caisse de depot.

The latest restructuring will include streamlining of administrative and other non-production related functions, the company said.

The manufacturer has been struggling because of a slowdown in business jet demand and production challenges for its railway products. It also faces large pension obligations and a whopping debt.

Bellemare wouldn’t say if other decisions, including speculation that it is planning to sell the Learjet business jet platform, are yet to come.

“We will continue to do what we need to do to ensure that the company is profitable long-term,” he said.

Bombardier has 31,200 employees in aerospace and 39,400 in transportation, according to its website.

Your age shouldn’t be a factor when job hunting CHARLES STRACHEY WORKING WISE Dear Working Wise: I am a healthy experienced professional engineer, but I can’t find a job. The problem seems to be that I am over 60. How can I get employers to open their eyes and see what I have to offer? Signed, Energetic Engineer Dear Energetic: Employers cannot afford to ignore older workers. Nearly 40 per cent of Alberta’s workforce is over 45 and their numbers are growing.

In fact, some beliefs about aging can actually give you an advantage when you are applying for work.

Many human-resource professionals believe older workers are reliable, committed to their jobs and have a strong work ethic.

Still, there may be times when you have to convince employers that some negative beliefs about aging don’t apply to you.

Here are some tips to help revitalize your job search.

Get the interview – Employers use resumés and application forms to screen job applications. Don’t make it easy for them to guess your age. If you

earned a credential a long time ago, let employers know you have that qualification, but leave out the date you earned it and only include your more recent and relevant work experience, e.g., the past 20 years.

Get the wardrobe and attitude – First impressions are extremely important in job interviews. Make sure you look energetic, confident and up-to-date.

Your clothing, shoes, grooming, and energy level say a great deal about you. Be enthusiastic about your work. Talk about your interest in new techniques and technologies. Describe situations where you have successfully taken informed risks.

Get the job – Try to address the employer’s concerns indirectly. Although employers may have concerns about your age, human rights law prohibits them from asking about it.

You can let employers know their fears are unfounded in many ways, including: ● Provide evidence that you are a productive worker; ● Talk about your performance record and any formal recognition you have received; ● If the job is physically demanding, discuss similar physically challenging tasks you have recently completed; ● Provide examples of how you have learned to worker smarter over the years; ● Let the employer know that you are keen to

learn new skills and talk about the new skills you have recently learned; ● Emphasize your commitment to your career and your excellent attendance record; ● Stress your teamwork skills by mentioning times when you have worked very well with people younger than yourself.

You have a lot going for you. All you have to do is help interviewers look past the grey hairs and see the energetic, experienced go-getter sitting in front of them.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The loonie took a dive Friday as disappointing economic data coupled with recent comments

by Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz hinted that an interest rate cut may be on the horizon.

The Canadian dollar finished the day at 75.04 cents US, down 0.59 of a cent after Statistics Canada released new economic data showing weaker-than-expected inflation and retail sales figures.

The federal agency said the consumer price index was up 1.3 per cent in September compared with a year ago.

That’s higher than the year-over-year increase of 1.1 per cent recorded in August, but lower than the 1.5 per cent that economists had predicted for September.

Statistics Canada also reported that retail sales fell 0.1 per cent to $44.0 billion in August. The decline was due to lower sales at motor vehicle and parts dealers as well as general merchandise stores.

Earlier in the week, Poloz said the central bank’s governing council actively discussed the possibility of cutting its benchmark lending rate before deciding to leave it at 0.5 per cent.

“This week we had the Bank of Canada governor alluding to potential rate cuts, so that would create some uncertainty in people’s minds,” said Colum McKinley, vice-president and portfolio manager of Canadian equities at CIBC Asset Management Inc. “And then today we backed that up with economic data that was weaker than people expected. So I think the combination of those events is what’s likely leaning on the dollar today.”

hasn’t closed above 14,900 since late June 2015.

Most segments of the TSX closed higher, with energy stocks leading the way, up 0.94 per cent on stronger crude prices.

The sole exception was consumer staples stocks, which slipped 0.15 per cent after Statistics Canada reported that food prices declined last month.

“For the food retailers, a deflationary environment has a very negative effect on their revenue growth, so you’re seeing those stocks underperform because of that today,” McKinley said.

In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 16.64 points to 18,145.71, the S&P 500 index lost 0.18 of a point to 2,141.16 and the Nasdaq composite rose 15.57 points to 5,257.40.

In other commodity news, the December crude contract strengthened to US$50.85 per barrel, up 22 cents.

“There is a growing confidence that OPEC and other participants will work to reduce supply or control supply growth, and all of that is being reflected in the energy prices,” McKinley said.

November natural gas fell 15 cents to US$2.99 per mmBTU, December gold rose 20 cents to US$1,267.70 an ounce, and December copper contracts fell nearly a cent to US$2.09 a pound.

Business BRIEFS Precision Drilling posts Q3 loss but predicts better times

such as the banks.

Under Canada’s system, lenders are able to transfer virtually all of the risk from insured mortgages to insurers, which are indirectly backstopped by taxpayers, the government said.

The Finance Department has been examining the possibility of so-called “lender risk sharing” for a couple of years and it’s now seeking more input — on two options, in particular.

One of the approaches being studied would see lenders on the hook for a fixed-rate share of 15 per cent of total loan losses.

The other proposal under examination would make lenders responsible for losses up to a fixed portion of the loan balance when the default occurs.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced the consultations earlier this month as part of a package of changes related to Canada’s housing market.

About 56 per cent of Canada’s $1.2 trillion worth of outstanding residential mortgage debt is insured, which is a significant level of exposure for the government. Roughly 40 per cent of new mortgages are estimated to be insured these days.

CALGARY — Precision Drilling Corp. (TSX:PD) had a $47 million net loss for the third quarter as revenue declined 45 per cent from last year.

The loss amounted to 16 cents per share, which was an improvement from the Calgary-based drilling company’s 2015 third quarter loss of $87 million or 30 cents per share.

Revenue declined in all of Precision Drilling’s operations, with the total falling to $202 million from $364 million in the third quarter of 2015.

The company’s adjusted earnings were down 63 per cent from last year, dropping to $41 million from $111 million. Revenue per operating hour dropped to $599 from $786, a decline of nearly 24 per cent.

THE ADVOCATE SATURDAY, OCT. 22, 2016

Ensemble performance gets ‘fun’

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF A brand-new baroque orchestra, led by the RDSO’s Claude Lapalme, will enthusiastically perform on period instruments a “fun” piece Johann Sebastian Bach was reluctant to compose.

Bach’s famous work of melodious ear candy, Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B Minor, will be played by the new Rosa Barocca at the Purcell Prowess Concert on Saturday, Nov. 5, at Gaetz Memorial United Church in Red Deer.

The concert, which also features Calgary chorus VoiceScapes performing Henry Purcell’s Hail! Bright Cecilia, combines orchestral and choral music.

It’s being co-presented as part of the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra season by the RDSO and Early Music Voices Concert Society.

Rosa Barocca was formed last summer with about 20 musicians from across North America.

Hailing from Central Alberta, Calgary and Lethbridge to as far as Seattle and Montreal, a few of them will be familiar faces to RDSO audiences, said Lapalme.

The conductor helped form the ensemble last summer because early music is growing in popularity and there’s a demand for orchestras that can reproduce the baroque sound — both for orchestral performances and as accompaniment for choral concerts.

Many musicians are also “passionate” about performing on vintage instruments — or reproduction ones are made through the same centuries-old processes to create rich, warm tones.

At this concert, seven members of the Rosa Barocca will perform Bach’s

Calgary group VoiceScapes performs with the new baroque ensemble Rosa Barocca at the Purcell’s Prowess concert on Saturday, Nov. 5 at Gaetz Memorial United Church.

Orchestral Suite No. 2. Lapalme said the “fun piece” with a difficult flute solo is the composer’s smallest and most intimate overture, and was likely written

as a people-pleaser for a garden party, festival, or trade show.

There’s a feeling Bach wrote the lighter work “kicking and screaming,”

since it’s a departure from his graver compositions. But as Lapalme writes in the program notes, “for someone so adverse to writing such blatantly gallant music, Bach does an awesome job.”

Given the German composer’s surly temperament, it’s hard to know whether Bach would be flattered or appalled that some 320 years later, the melody of his final movement is being used as a Nokia cellphone ring tone.

Purcell’s Hail! Bright Cecilia is a 50-minute choral work written in praise of the patron saint of musicians.

Purcell turned a poem by Nicholas Brady (derived from an earlier work

by John Dryden) into a musical ode that highlights the specific instruments mentioned by name in the stanzas of poetry.

For instance, Lapalme said a verse about violins originating from fir trees and recorders from box wood, will be accompanied by two pairs of solo violins and recorders.

The VoiceScapes professional music collective from Calgary will perform solos, duets and as an ensemble.

The choir will be accompanied on this multi-mood piece by Purcell by a larger version of Rosa Barocca.

The singers will also tackle two shorter, more serious works for voice and organ — George Jeffreys’ A Musick Strange and John Blow’s O Lord, I have Sinned, which is based on verses from the Biblical Books of Job and Isaiah.

“There’s real musical diversity at this concert,” said Lapalme — from light-hearted pageantry to drama and emotion.

Tickets are available from the Black Knight Ticket Centre. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

From European concert halls to home

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF From her native Lacombe to the gilded concert halls of Europe, opera singer Anna Maria Kaufmann has performed all over the world — and now she’s coming home again.

The Munich-based mega-star will be returning to Central Alberta to sing at a fundraising concert on Tuesday, Nov. 1, hosted by the Lacombe Rotary Club. Proceeds from the show will go towards programs for the eradication of polio in the Third World.

Kaufmann, who has headlined in everything from Evita to La Traviata, plans to entertain with some wellknown melodies, as well as light classical tunes, pop songs and spirituals.

She will sing at the Salute to Rotary concert at 7:30 p.m. at CrossRoads Church in Red Deer.

Germany’s most popular soprano is best known for playing the female lead in Phantom of the Opera more than 500 times. Kaufmann earned triple-platinum sales of more than 1.9 million of the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack.

While she’s performed as a soloist with orchestras around the globe, she also lent her talents to many sporting events, singing the national anthem for a global audience of one billion during the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

In 2010, Kaufmann was asked to be one of Alberta’s flag bearers for the Vancouver Olympics.

She was recently questioned by the Advocate about her life and career in Europe and her feelings about growing up in Central Alberta.

How often do you get back to perform a hometown concert?

Kaufmann: I come back to sing once or twice a year, sometimes more often. I love singing in Canada. I am so proud to be Canadian. I want to Salute the Rotary (Club) with my music and thoughts through this evening. In our program, I will be accompanied by two musicians on piano and violin (and) a children’s Home School Choir… on a few songs.

Could you tell us what you’re currently doing in Germany?

I just acted, sang, danced in My Fair Lady. It was a great role — so much

fun and hard work getting there, but I loved it! In November, I will be touring Germany in a Winter Dreams concert, with two tenors. One is an English tenor who won Britain’s Got Talent — Paul Potts.

How did you end up in Germany?

Do you have plans to return to live in Canada?

I first went to Germany to learn the language, then I followed my dream and auditioned at a music conservatory and was accepted. From there, I took any lessons in dance or acting or singing that I could, and I still always want to do better. I would love to spend more time in Canada and sing there more often. I love, love, love being there! One never knows where life will take us…

How is Europe’s cultural scene different?

Opera is a big part of the culture here, as are musicals and operetta shows. Live performances seem to be big everywhere as people are getting tired of computer music.

What was it like to be an artistic child growing up in Lacombe? Tell us about your family.

I always wanted to sing… (in) church, schools, at weddings, parties…

As children, we were very protected and loved — maybe a bit spoiled! But that’s OK. We all love each other very much and that is the greatest thing...

I thank God for the family I have. In my personal life, I am together with a professor/doctor/genius man who understands and admires what I do. We have a baby dog named Oscar, a Jack Russell, who is wonderful.

What does growing up in Central Alberta mean to you?

In Central Alberta I learned what love is. I found my faith and I have many great friends and family. I grew up in a wonderful place.

What are your greatest achievements, so far?

My breakthrough hit was the lead in Phantom of the Opera (performing with) famous German tenor, Peter Hofmann.

I have sung many roles in musical operetta and opera, starred in TV shows and TV films, and sung all over the world (most European countries, Canada, the U.S.A., Korea, China, Thailand, Brazil, Mexico). I have recorded with

Before loving her body, she needs to love herself HARLAN COHEN HELP ME HARLAN Dear Harlan: How can I feel more confident about my body? I’m in my early 20s and people tell me I’m attractive, but I still can’t seem to feel good about myself. I don’t know how to feel attractive and love myself when I get little attention from people I want to meet. This has been going on ever since I can remember. How can I become confident and love myself? — Not Feeling Pretty Dear Not Feeling Pretty: I spent 10 years hating my body and the rest of my adult life learning to love myself. Self-worth starts with liking yourself. Liking yourself has nothing to do with other people liking or wanting you; it’s knowing that you’re interesting, attractive and worth loving even in the absence of love. It’s looking in the mirror and believing that anyone would be lucky to be with you. Got that? This takes work. This starts with facing the truth. I call this “training in a thong” (a thong hides nothing).

You must look in the mirror and take a good look at yourself. What do you love? What do you hate? Make a commitment to change what you don’t love and tolerate what you can’t change. Nothing will hold you back. And this isn’t just about training physically.

You have to train emotionally and spiritually. Training emotionally means acknowledging what scares you and working to change or tolerate it. Training spiritually means working to have a life of meaning independent of a significant other. All these elements will give you a sense of self-worth and value independent of a partner. If you get stuck, lean on people who can help you. Want to get started? Pick one thing to change. Imagine it’s Jan. 1, 2017, and the change has already happened. Identify five people who can support and guide you. Identify the places where you found connection and community. Give yourself time to form the habits to create change.

Check out the book The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, by Charles Duhigg. I love this book. Change happens when you create new habits. Create a habit of loving yourself instead of

judging yourself. Start with changing one thing. Send me updates. I would LOVE to be in your corner as you learn to love yourself.

Dear Harlan: I’ve started a new relationship. My new boyfriend insists on having sex without a condom. I’m on birth control, but I’m not comfortable with this. He says he will get tested to make sure it’s safe. I’m still not into this. He can’t seem to take “no” for an answer. Am I being too cautious? I need a guy’s perspective. — On the Pill Dear On the Pill: My male perspective: I’d use a sock if that’s what my partner wanted. Find out if there’s another reason why he insists on not using a condom; maybe he has an allergy or physical issue he’s too embarrassed to discuss. If you still aren’t comfortable, insist on using protection. If he doesn’t listen to what you want, then he doesn’t understand you. If he needs convincing, you can tell him that HPV (human papillomavirus) and herpes aren’t always detected by tests. You also can mention that you don’t want to worry about an accidental pregnancy if you miss a pill. If this still bothers him, find a new guy who wears condoms. For more info, visit www.cdc.gov/std/healthcomm/fact_sheets.htm.

Dear Harlan: My roommates are dating. One is a close guy friend and the other is my best girlfriend. I’m in the middle. When they’re fighting, I’m asked to take sides. When they’re sitting on the couch cuddling, I’m the third wheel. We are all close friends and used to bond about being single. That’s all changed. I’ve talked about moving out, but this just gets my best friend upset. She wants me to stay.

I don’t feel comfortable being the roommate in the middle. Can you see a way out of this without hurting her feelings? — In the Middle Dear in the Middle: It’s miserable being single and watching your formerly single friends cuddle in front of you. It’s like watching a bad TV show live on your couch without being able to change the channel. Set boundaries. Tell your best friend that while you want to be there for her, it’s too hard to hear about her boyfriend because it puts you in the middle. When it comes to cuddling, look the other way, look in the mirror or sit in the middle. Looking the other way means being happy they have found each other. Looking in the mirror means acknowledging that their dating makes you feel alone. Sitting in the

middle means telling them how hard it is to watch them cuddle when you’re single and alone. The most important rule is for you to be totally honest with your feelings and not blame them for being a couple.

Dear Harlan: I was a senior in high school last year and my boyfriend was a freshman in college. I gave him all the space he needed to transition, but now that I’m a freshman in college, the trust isn’t there. What do I do? — Crowded Dear Crowded: Explain what you need, but don’t ask permission. You don’t need his permission to create a life for yourself on campus. You need new friends. You need new connections. You need to have new experiences. You need to do things that will make you happy outside of this relationship. A loving partner will hear you, explain his feelings and support you. If he pushes back, threatens or controls you, this relationship is going to end. Remind him that the happier you can be apart, the happier you will be as a couple. If he finds this threatening, he needs to work on creating a happier life on his own.

Happy, balanced, loving men with full lives don’t control their girlfriends.

Dear Harlan: What’s your advice for someone who has a crush on a guy with a girlfriend? Is flirting OK? — Flirting Dear Flirting: Don’t sit on his lap. Laugh and have fun, but don’t do anything you wouldn’t want someone else to do if you were the girlfriend. It’s disrespectful to him and his partner, and it doesn’t make you look good. There’s no winning. If he flirts back, you’ll just be the “other girl.” If he’s interested in you but unwilling to get out of his current relationship, you’ll just be wasting your time. If he cheats, you’ll know he’s a cheater (take a number, you’ll be next). Then there’s the bad karma. Spend time laughing and having an amazing time together without crossing boundaries. Either you’ll end up close friends or can date once he’s single. In the meantime, flirt with guys you actually can date.

How your money habits compare to other people in their 20s and 30s

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Your 20s can be a time of striving for better things. A better job. A bigger paycheck. A savings account.

Even if you’re making some progress, it can be difficult to know where you stand or how you compare to your peers.

A study released Thursday by Navient, a student loan servicer, and Ipsos, a market research company, may offer some insight. The companies surveyed more than 3,000 people ages 22 to 35 about different aspects of their financial health.

Remember, everyone’s path to financial stability is unique. But the findings may give you a sense of where you stand on certain goals, compared to other people your age. Here are some of the report’s top takeaways: ● More than 40 percent of people above age 30 are done paying student loans.

Sixty per cent of the millennials surveyed said they borrowed to pay for college.

But the report found there is a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to student loan debt. Not surprisingly, the chances of paying off those loans increased with age. Forty-four per cent of people over 30 who borrowed for college are now debt free, compared to 29 per cent of 22- to 30-year-olds who have cleared their student debt.

For those still making payments, their burdens varied significantly. The average debt load in that group is $22,817, but the majority of those with debt, 51 percent, said they owed $10,000 or less. An additional 21 per cent owed more than $30,000. ● Ninety-three per cent of young adults are saving for a goal.

The majority of young adults between the ages of 22 and 35 - 93 per cent – said they are saving. But most of them haven’t saved very much. About half of consumers had set aside less than $1,000 total for all of their savings goals. That includes 6 per cent have not saved anything at all, even though they said they had a savings goal in mind.

Most people are saving for near-term goals, such as a vacation or to build an emergency fund. Only one in three workers under 35 are saving for retirement. And those workers with a bachelor’s degree were much more likely in general to be saving for retirement than people with an associate’s or those who did not have a degree.

The numbers also support, at least in part, a concern that many financial advisers have been bringing up for years: That people with student loan debt may have a harder time saving for retirement. Workers who had a degree but did not borrow were much more likely to have saved at least $50,000 for retirement than those who did borrow for their degrees.

● Forty-two per cent like their jobs.

In total, 75 per cent of the young people surveyed had jobs, including 62 per cent of people with fulltime jobs. That’s up from last year, when 69 per cent of people had jobs, including 57 of people working full-time. The shift means that fewer people are unemployed, studying or staying at home to take care of children.

The more education you have, the greater your chances of working full-time. For instance, 89 per cent of people with advanced degrees were working full-time, compared to 83 per cent of people with a bachelor’s degree, 61 per cent of people with an associate’s degree and 49 per cent of people who had some college but no degree.

The likelihood of having a full-time job also increased generally with age, but tapered off for people ages 34 and 35.

And some young people are having a better time finding jobs they like. Forty-two per cent of respondents said they were very satisfied with their jobs, up from 37 per cent last year. ● The median salary for millennials with advanced degrees is $95,000.

Broke in your 20s? Life should get a little easier as you enter your late 20s and early 30s. The median salary for workers between the ages of 28 and 35 is $72,500, nearly double the median pay of workers between the ages of 22 and 27.

Paycheques are also bigger for people with more education. The median pay for a worker with an advanced degree is $95,000, compared to $62,500 for workers with only a bachelor’s degree and $47,500 for workers with an associate’s degree.

Workers who started college but didn’t finish fared worse than people

who didn’t go to college at all, according to the survey. People with a high school degree or less earned a median of $42,500, more than the $37,500 earned by people who went to college but did not earn a degree. While it’s not clear what caused that income gap, researchers said the situation may be particularly dire for people who didn’t finish college but still have student loan debt, making them more likely to default. ● Twenty-four percent of people 25 to 30 with a college degree have a mortgage.

Vatican opens papal summer apartment to public A RARE GLIMPSE INTO THE 55-ACRE ESTATE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pope Francis celebrates Mass in the chapel of Santa Marta, at the Vatican, Thursday.

VATICAN CITY — Now this is an open house: The Vatican on Friday opened the private apartments at the papal summer retreat to the public, giving visitors a rare look at the bed where Popes Pius XII and Paul VI died and where John Paul II recovered from an assassination attempt in 1981.

Pope Francis has declined to use the palazzo in Castel Gandolfo, preferring to spend his summer downtime at home in the Vatican hotel suite where he lives.

That has meant that the 55-hectare (135-acre) estate in the Alban hills south of Rome has increasingly been opened up to the public.

In 2014, the gardens opened to visitors, in part to help offset the economic downturn the lake-front town has experienced since Francis decided to stay put in Rome.

Last year the Vatican inaugurated weekly train service so visitors can see both the Vatican and the leafy hill-top refuge in one day.

Now, visitors can tour the never-before-seen private apartment of the palazzo itself, including the Consistory Room where Pius XII made Angelo Roncalli a cardinal in 1953. Roncalli later became Pope John XXIII. But the simple pontifical bedroom with a view of the lake and the single bed might be more of a draw, not least because of the unusual purpose it served during the Second World War. The Alban region saw bloody fighting after Allied forces landed in coastal Anzio on Jan. 22, 1944. Residents fled toward the pontifical villas seek-

As the Vatican tells it, some of the displaced were pregnant. And an estimated 40 women gave birth on the pope’s bed itself bearing offspring now affectionately called “the pope’s children.”

The Vatican Museums, home to the Sistine Chapel and other papal treasures, run the Castel Gandolfo estate, which features a working farm that supplies the Vatican with fresh dairy, eggs, honey and produce.

Popes past have always used it as a summer getaway, and Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI famously closed out his papacy there on Feb. 28, 2013 when the big wood and bronze doors on the main palazzo slammed shut after he left the Vatican for the last time as pope.

Francis called on Benedict at Castel Gandolfo soon after his 2013 election.

The two men in white chatted together and then prayed together in the now-open-to-the-public private chapel.

There, Francis famously eschewed the kneeler set up for him at the front and instead took his place next to Benedict in the pews, praying side-by-side with the retired pontiff and saying “We are brothers.”

New head on baby Jesus statue puts spotlight on Ontario church

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A statue of baby Jesus got a facelift after it was vandalized in northern Ontario — and the result is turning heads.

The Ste. Anne des Pins parish in Sudbury, Ont., says the statue, which was beheaded by unknown vandals a year ago, was recently fitted with a temporary clay head crafted by a local artist.

The new head — a placeholder until the artist can sculpt a permanent replacement out of stone — has captured the attention of many in the parish and on social media.

Some online have compared the head, with its spiky clay crown, to a character on the popular cartoon The Simpsons or to the infamously botched restoration of a fresco of Jesus in Spain.

The church’s priest, Gerard Lajeunesse, says the clash between the orange clay of the head and the white stone of the body is what’s most jarring to onlookers.

Lajeunesse says there were problems because the neck was broken on an angle and the artist was forced to alter the shape of the clay head to ensure it would stay attached.

The priest says he will likely remove the head because the clay has started to erode in the rain and there is a risk it could stain the rest of the statue.

The artist, who has offered her services for free, will begin sculpting a permanent head in the spring, he said. They plan to stick a metal rod in the statue to prevent anyone from removing the head again.

In the meantime, Jesus will likely remain headless, he said.

“I got very few comments when the head was missing. Now I’ve received a lot of comments,” Lajeunesse said in French.

“Maybe it was a little bit my problem, maybe I

should have explained what was happening, but I didn’t.”

Lajeunesse said the statue has lost its head at least once before, but the church previously managed to find and reattach it.

Promises, promises, what promises, Mr. Trudeau?

CHANTAL HÉBERT OPINION Much celebration — for the most part justified — is attending the first anniversary of Justin Trudeau’s election victory. Twelve months later, polls elicit no buyer’s remorse. Many voters who did not support Trudeau last year are on balance happy he won.

The alignment of the stars continues to favour the prime minister. With the opposition parties leaderless, the biggest risk to the Liberals these days is to let success go to their heads.

On that score, it may be time to keep Trudeau away from his press clippings.

On three occasions since the House reopened last month – including twice in this anniversary week – the prime minister has short-circuited negotiations between his ministers, the provinces or the opposition parties.

In an interview published in Le Devoir on Wednesday Trudeau signalled he is no longer enamoured with his promise to change the voting system in time for the next election.

The prime minister argues that on the heels of the election of a Liberal government, many Canadians no longer feel it is urgent to do away with the firstpast-the-post system.

The outcome of the last election has indeed alleviated the fear of many progressive voters that, under the current system, the division of the opposition

vote would give the Conservatives a virtual lock on federal power.

But the Liberal zeal for moving away from a system that has just delivered them a majority has flagged at least as quickly as the electorate’s sense of urgency.

In his early days as prime minister, Jean Chrétien celebrated election anniversaries by listing all the platform commitments he had honoured. Trudeau, it seems, believes the occasion lends itself to backtracking on promises.

The prime minister’s timing is counterintuitive in yet another way. An all-party committee is about to try to craft a consensus on the way forward on electoral reform. Trudeau may have wanted to send the NDP and the Greens a message that if they do want a different system, they will have to put much water in their wine to find common ground with the Liberals.

But his comments can only exacerbate the Conservatives’ sense that his only interest in moving to a different voting system would be to rig future elections against their party.

Trudeau’s musings also shore up the perception that the Liberals on the electoral reform committee, along with reform minister Maryam Monsef, are on a mission to sabotage the discussion.

Standing at his seat in the Commons earlier this week, the prime minister alleged that the provinces have been diverting federal health dollars toward other programs.

Provincial health spending has been increasing at about half the pace (3 per cent) of the federal health transfer. But Ottawa funds only a fraction (23 per cent) of the total provincial health bill. Even with the current 6-per-cent escalator clause on that amount, the federal increase does not cover the actual rise in total health spending. The bottom line is that the

prime minister is basing his case for cutting the annual increase in half on a mathematical fallacy.

The main result of Trudeau’s comment was to make a difficult conversation between federal Health Minister Jane Philpott and her provincial counterparts even more antagonistic.

Trudeau did not create this week’s stalemate but he is certainly not contributing anything constructive to its resolution.

On the day last month when the prime minister declared his intention to set a national floor price on carbon, Canada’s environment ministers were meeting to discuss climate change.

They were put in front of a fait accompli. Some of them walked out on Environment Minister Catherine McKenna.

For the most part Trudeau earned kudos for the substance if not for the method of his announcement on carbon pricing. It was an overdue move on the part of a federal government.

Reviews of his health-care approach are more mixed. The federal government does not need provincial approval to determine the level of its health transfer, but it can’t get the reforms it hand-picked in its platform off the ground without provincial co-operation.

Electoral reform is not a top-of-mind issue for most voters. The political costs of Trudeau ditching the promised introduction a different voting system in time for 2019 would not be prohibitive.

But when one connects the dots between the prime minister’s interventions on three of this fall’s time-sensitive files, one finds little evidence of the collegiality Trudeau promised last year.

Rights of the poor question leads to passionate answers CHRIS SALOMONS STREET TALES Ever since I started pondering on what exactly are the rights of the poor, I have asked many different people what these would be, and how would these rights look. As you can well imagine, the responses were quite varied as were the passions accompanying the choices.

Before I list some of the responses, we need to properly define poor. In my Webster dictionary I read as follows: destitute of riches, not having property sufficient for a comfortable subsistence, needy or having little value or importance. The dictionary goes on for quite a while, but for this dissertation, this is enough.

As I started this piece I was going to exclude those who fall into this one particular category of poor because they have chosen to be there by virtue of laziness or addictions, but I soon realized most often they made these choices because of one or more of the above conditions, so they have to be included.

Surprisingly, no one responded with the first definition dealing with lack of riches which I found very interesting, and I will deal with that later.

In fact, the most frequent response had nothing to do with wealth rather that spot went to dignity. After dignity came all the others like food, shelter, clothing and justice.

So, this is how I see the definitions and suggesRED DEER

tions made coming together. First is dignity. Almost all who fit into the definitions supplied, feel a loss of dignity from the rest of society. Their opinions don’t count; they feel not listened to. Courts often discount their testimony as unreliable. Store clerks will either not pay much attention to them or they will follow them around the store to prevent suspected theft. Even agencies set up to help them often show a level of disrespect and treat them with disdain.

In some cases, there definitely are those that need to be followed around a store, and there are those with an attitude the size of Manhattan, but by and large, the numbers of these are small. Even then, they cause enough mayhem that others get painted with the same brush and so the loss of dignity becomes real.

Next is the definition that says ‘not having property sufficient for a comfortable subsistence’. Notice that they use the word subsistence and not existence. Although they mean roughly the same, subsistence implies a stagnant or a lesser life, while existence implies room for growth. Having said that, in many cases, they have no property at all, just a pack on their back.

Food and clothing is often supplied by soup kitchens, food banks and goodwill stores. There are still those who come to the kitchen humbled and really not wanting to be there. We have also found that attitudes are often used to cover feelings of inadequacy and shame and so we do not place too high a value on these expressions; only when they go beyond the pale do we take a position.

Many of our clients are needy folk, but not always for finances; they have learned to live on next to nothing, rather their needs are more for caring, to be

let known that they have value and are an important part of society, regardless of their life station.

You see, the one definition is, ‘having little or no value’, and sadly, society as a whole has a strong tendency toward that description of poor. It does not take too long for people so identified to feel the effects of being of lesser value. So now that I’ve spelled out all of our failings, what are some of the responses we can and should make or at the very least work towards?

One of the statements that I have been taught almost from birth is, ‘you will always have the poor with you’. Trouble is, many use that as an excuse for inactivity and withholding any assistance at all. But thank God, the opposite is also true; many use that statement as a motivation to help.

One of the main efforts and thrusts to mitigate the effects of poverty is to find housing for all. An established and proven fact is that as a direct result of Housing First, such as the Buffalo, there is a sharp drop in harmful addictions and street abuse.

That alone makes a huge difference to these people. They are people before they are a life station and should to the very best of our ability be treated that way regardless of the label put on them, i.e.: alcoholic. It has led me to understand something that I didn’t think about too much before, although it always has been a part of my life. The most sought after and desired attribute in all of life is the choice that most people made at the beginning of this study; DIGNITY. Dignity belongs to life not death; furthermore, it is ours to give!

The time machine is quite a ride HARLEY HAY HAY’S DAZE Everybody has a favourite song. Or two. I think I have about 300. We all have those special songs that rip us right out of the present tense and shoot us back to a moment in another time and place. It’s like a ride on a time machine.

Like the first time you get up enough jam to phone that cute girl you’ve had your eye on since the beginning of the school year. For me the song was I Think We’re Alone Now by Tommy James and the Shondells, and I had played that 45 vinyl record over and over again until, with shaking fingers, I actually called Heather M. from our upstairs “extension” phone in Parkvale. I could barely get my pointer finger into that rotary dial. And, of course, her father answered.

There was the entire Simon and Garfunkle soundtrack from the movie The Graduate, that even now when I hear Sounds of Silence, I’m back there at that wedding scene at the end where Ben is banging on the window and Elaine turns and yells and, well, that trip in the time machine always makes me a little dizzy. I almost have to pull the car over if it comes on the car radio.

The Beatles, of course, always seriously shake up the space-time continuum. Their first appearance on

The Ed Sullivan Show (I Saw Her Standing There), to their last rooftop appearance (Get Back) who would believe in a million years that Paul and Ringo would still be rocking out in 2016 as 70-somethings! Now that’s a time machine.

The first song I ever played in a band really winds the old wayback machine for me. The place: Central School gym. The event: our Grade 9 graduation. The band: The Imperials. The song: Tijuana Taxi by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.

I can still hear that honk from the old squeeze horn that blatts at the end of that tune. And we thought we were rock stars. Yikes.

People have a first kiss song (For Your Love by the Yardbirds), a driving to the lake in your very first car song (Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf), a broken heart song (I have 12 of those), the first dance at your wedding song (Close To You by The Carpenters).

The musical memory vaults are different for each person depending on when and where and how they grew up of course, but we all have those song triggers that fuel our own personal time travelling contraption. So I was thinking about that a while back and started writing down my favorite songs from my favorite musical era, the ’60s and ’70s. About five hours and about five pages of tunes later I had a nap and then woke up and said to myself: “Self. You should put together some sort of concert thingy to play some of these songs.” Also: “Self. You could call it ‘The Time Machine Show.’” Then, exhausted, I had another nap.

So with a boot in the butt from my long time bud-

dy and bandmate Dave, a two-act list of iconic rock and pop songs emerged from the musty misty longago haze of the peace and love generation. But something interesting took shape with the tunes. Love.

The song titles I mean. I realized you could tell a love story with the titles and lyrics of songs and yet have 20 or 30 great tunes – from rockers like Satisfaction by the Stones, to beautiful ballads like Time in a Bottle (Jim Croce) and You’ve Got a Friend (Carole King and James Taylor), to psychedelic classics from Jimi Hendrix and Jefferson Airplane. From the best R&B like R.E.S.P.E.C.T. (Aretha) and I Feel Good (J.B.) to bands you don’t hear played live very often like The Young Rascals and Three Dog Night.

And let’s not forget a couple of get up and dance mirror-ball disco ditties.

So all I had to do was enlist the best music producer in town (Morgan) and cherry-pick six of the best young musicians and five (count ‘em) FIVE of the best lead vocalists around, and join with Bull Skit Comedy to handle the production heavy lifting at the Scott Block Theatre and — as members of the great musical British Invasion of the ’60s would say — “Bob’s your uncle!”

That took eight months.

But now the ole Time Machine is warming up, rumbling away, gearing up to launch the first two weekends in November. And it’s going to be quite a ride.

It’s a tale of two (Middle Eastern) cities GWYNNE DYER INSIGHT Two great sieges are getting underway in the Middle East, one in Mosul in Iraq and the other in Aleppo in Syria. They have a great deal in common, including the fact that the attackers both depend heavily on foreign air power, but they are treated by most international media as though they were completely different events. How similar they are will become clearer with the passage of time.

Sieges of cities, once a major part of warfare, grew rare in the course of the 20th century, mainly because of the rise of air power. You didn’t need to besiege cities any more, because you could just smash them to smithereens from the air: Guernica, Dresden, Hiroshima.

But that’s not so easy in the era of instant global media coverage.

Seventy years without a really major war have allowed us to develop a major dislike for killing civilians from the air. Nobody on either side would have been the least bit reluctant to blast Aleppo or Mosul into oblivion in 1945 if it served their strategic purposes, but moral tastes have changed.

They haven’t changed that much, of course, or we would be seeing a horrified rejection of the entire concept of nuclear deterrence, which is based on the threat to extinguish millions or tens of millions of innocent civilian lives if the other side behaves too badly. But when the destruction from the air is piecemeal, with relatively small numbers of identifi-

able victims, we can get quite upset about it.

Every civilian death from bombing in Iraq and Syria – but not the thousands of other civilian casualties each month — is therefore publicly catalogued and condemned.

The Russians are taking enormous criticism over their bombing of the rebel-held eastern part of Aleppo (although the indiscriminate “barrel bombs” are the work of the Syrian air force, not the Russians).

The U.S. air force has been much more careful about its bombing around Mosul so far, but it too will end up having to choose between bombing the city heavily and seeing the Iraqi government’s attack fail.

Both Mosul and eastern Aleppo are Sunni Muslim cities facing an attempted reconquest by Shia-dominated national governments. In both cases the rebel fighters who control the besieged areas are jihadi extremists: Islamic State in Mosul, and the Nusra Front in eastern Aleppo. (In Aleppo, the jihadis number perhaps a thousand out of ten thousand fighters, but they dominate both the fighting and the decision-making.)

In both cases the troops on the government side are divided by ethnic and sectarian differences, and largely unreliable. Which is why, in the end, government victory in both countries depends on foreign air power.

In Aleppo, the troops leading the attack on the ground are mostly Shia militias recruited from Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan and paid for by Iran.

Actual Syrian army troops have been decimated and exhausted by five years of war, and those who remain are being carefully husbanded. So they wait for the Russians to bomb the defenders to pieces, and just use the troops to mop up afterwards.

In the case of Mosul, the attacking forces are even more varied. The Iraqi government’s regular troops

are mostly Shia, and the pro-government militias are entirely Shia and notorious for treating Sunnis badly. Since almost everybody left in Mosul is Sunni, they are terrified of the government’s troops.

The Iraqi government has therefore promised that Shia militias will not enter the city, nor will the Kurdish troops that are assisting in the early part of the offensive. What this means, however, is that very few soldiers will actually be fighting once the attack reaches the edge of the city proper.

There will be perhaps 25,000 Iraqi regular army troops in the final assault, of whom maybe half can be relied on to fight. There will be around 5,000 American troops in the area, but they are not allowed to engage in direct combat. And there are about 1,500 Turkish army troops who have been training a Sunni militia north of Mosul (but the government in Baghdad has ordered them to leave).

Islamic State’s five or six thousand fighters have had years to prepare their defences, and street fighting uses up attacking troops very fast. Even “precision” airstrikes in urban areas always mean lots of dead civilians, but central Mosul will not fall unless the United States uses its air force to dig the defenders out.

Even the current advance across relatively open country south and east of Mosul relies on the massive use of air power to keep the attackers’ casualties down. When the troops reach the city limits, the whole operation will stall unless the US government starts serious bombing in the built-up area.

If it does that, then the civilian casualties will be quite similar to those inflicted by the Russian air force in eastern Aleppo. But the Western media will doubtless still find ways to see a huge difference between the two.

Marching toward a world without genocide

BY GERRY CHIDIAC ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES “When you listen to a witness, you become a witness,” Elie Wiesel often said.

Those words are the driving force behind the March of the Living, an event that brings thousands of young people from around the world to Poland every spring.

There they visit the places where crimes against humanity took place.

The name March of the Living is in stark contrast to the infamous death marches, during which innumerable people perished. They were forced by the Nazis at gunpoint to go from concentration camps in Poland to camps in Germany, as the Soviet army advanced in early 1945.

What’s particularly powerful about the March of the Living is that the young people are accompanied

by Holocaust survivors who tell them their stories and walk with them. Many of the youths are grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the very people the Nazi death camps sought to destroy.

The unmasking of concentration camps at the end of the Second World War was a pivotal moment in human history. It was terrifying proof of the dangers of racism and extreme nationalism. The new-

ly-formed United Nations responded by defining genocide in 1948, and the world declared, “Never again!”

Throughout the Cold War, “never again” fundamentally meant pointing to the crimes against humanity committed by the other side. But since the early 1990s, we have all been able to look honestly at what happened –- and what is still happening in so many parts of the world.

When we scratch the veneer of history, we begin to see that genocide is not only a part of the history of Germany.

It’s arguably a part of the history of every colonial power. In some places, it has been glossed over as “civil war.” And it remains part of the story of much of the world today.

Studying genocide helps give a voice to the victims. And by listening to survivors, we validate and empower them – and we are changed. We cannot unlearn what they teach us, and we have no choice but to continue their mission.

Understanding genocide gives us a powerful lens to look at the world. We see evil exposed for what it is: a horrible and ridiculous lie.

When we look at the vast numbers of descendants of Holocaust survivors participating in the March of Life, and see the tremendous contributions they make to the well-being of others, how can we dare

to say that any form of racism can ever be justified?

How can we dare to say that those who are suffering from oppression today should not be helped?

Indeed when we help others, we help ourselves.

Imagine all the good that would be happening in the world today if mankind had only had the courage to save more people from Hitler’s tyranny!

Genocide studies have a powerful impact on the education of today’s young people.

Although it was already mandated in some jurisdictions (primarily those with a strong Jewish lobby), when I began teaching genocide studies in 2008, there were only a few high school programs scattered throughout the province.

Today, Genocide Studies 12 is outlined and approved by the British Columbia Ministry of Education.

Many of us have crimes against humanity in our family histories – as survivors, as perpetrators, or as both.

When we honour the victims of genocide, we are changed. We have no choice but to work for a more just world. As more of us grow in awareness, we cast a powerful light on the darkest shadow of humanity.

We all become witnesses.

Emotional support duck soars in popularity DANIEL TAKES HIS FIRST PLANE RIDE

BY AMY B WANG ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

BY MARGARET SHAPIRO ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES As you think about decorating for the holidays, don’t worry about having poinsettias around. “Those beautiful flowers you’ve been so wary of keeping in your home during the holidays (lest they poison pets or children) are not toxic,” reports Live Science, citing a study that looked at nearly 23,000 cases of poinsettia exposure reported to poison control centers.

None were fatal, and the most severe reactions were stomachaches.

This is just one of the supposed medical facts that the website knocks down as myth. (The poinsettia fears were probably sparked, Live Science writes, by a 1919 case in which a child was said to have died after eating parts of a poinsettia, but neither the death nor the poinsettia connection was ever confirmed.)

A few other seasonally relevant myths from this article: ● Vaccines can cause the flu. No. The flu shot – have you gotten yours yet? – contains flu viruses, but they are not live. “A dead virus cannot be resurrected to cause the flu,” Rachel Vreeman, a doctor who has written about medical myths, told the website. ● Cold weather makes you sick. No. People feel more chilled when it’s cold, but that does not translate into actually getting a cold, a major study found.

“Whether … shivering in a frigid room or in an icy bath, people were no more likely to get sick after sniffing cold germs than they were at more comfortable temperatures.” We probably get more colds in winter just because there are more people stuck together indoors, making it easier to spread germs. ● Sugar makes kids really wired. Nope, even though many parents swear this is true. Live Science writes: “In one particularly clever study, kids were given Kool-Aid sweetened with aspartame, a compound that contains no sugar. Researchers told half the parents the Kool-Aid contained sugar, and told the other half the truth.” Wrist sensors on the kids found they were “actually acting subdued,” but the parents who thought their kids had ingested a sugary drink “reported that their children were uncontrollable and overactive.” More likely it is the excitement of parties where sugary treats are served that makes kids wild. ● Eating Thanksgiving turkey makes you drowsy.

You will read stories about tryptophan, an amino acid found in turkey, and how it makes you want to nap - but, in fact, chicken and beef have pretty similar amounts of the chemical. Your sleepiness is probably just from overeating, with lots of carbohydrates and a few alcoholic beverages added in, experts told the website.

“Someone who was paying more attention to the phone than the road hit me from behind, with enough force to bust up the carriage,” she said. Her horse was badly injured, and the crash sent Fitzgerald hurtling toward a metal-grated drawbridge. For months, she was immobile.

“It took them four months to teach me how to walk again,” Fitzgerald said. Along with the physical pain, she suffered post-traumatic stress disorder, something she describes as “hell.”

After the accident, Daniel knew things were different - and responded without ever having been trained.

“He would notice something wrong, whether it be my pain or my PTSD,” Fitzgerald said. “He would come and lay on me and [give me] lots of hugging and lots of kisses. And if he notices that I’m going to have a panic attack, he would give me a cue to lay down by trying to climb me.”

At home, Fitzgerald says Daniel communicates with her in other ways: If he needs a new diaper, he walks to his changing table. If he wants food, he walks to the refrigerator or to his feed bowl. Outside of bedtime, he always wears shoes and a diaper, she said, because he is so used to carpet and linoleum.

He apparently enjoys movies, but only “super G-rated” ones. (Daniel responded well to The Peanuts Movie but got upset during a chase scene in The Good Dinosaur, Fitzgerald said.)

“He doesn’t identify with other ducks because he’s imprinted on humans,” Fitzgerald said. “As far as he’s concerned, he thinks he’s people with feathers.”

Her living room is full of toddler toys that Daniel enjoys, particularly anything that has a button to push or makes a sound, such as keyboards and music boxes.

“And God forbid one of the batteries runs out,” Fitzgerald said. “He stomps his feet, he raises his hackles, he huffs and he gives you stink-eye. And if you don’t change those batteries right now, he gets snippy. He can also tell you when he needs a new diaper.”

Since the accident, Daniel has accompanied Fitzgerald everywhere, mostly car rides. Monday had been Daniel’s first time flying on a plane (or flying, period). She provided a note to the airline from her

doctor, who has said it is in Fitzgerald’s best interest to have Daniel around for support, but otherwise had a smooth trip. The crew on their first leg, before their connecting flight to Asheville, even insisted on posing for pictures with Daniel and presenting him with a “Certificate of First Flight.”

The Transportation Department is debating new rules regarding accommodations for disabled people on airplanes, including reviewing rules for emotional-support animals, USA Today reported. The department began allowing emotional-support animals on planes, but the practice of bringing them on board has offended some passengers.

“Here’s the thing. Who are we to say what is and what isn’t an emotional support animal or what can and cannot be a pet?” Fitzgerald said. “Or what they can do for people who have PTSD like I do? Having it is hell.”

For the time being, Fitzgerald does not have any other immediate travel plans but said that Daniel will no doubt accompany her on her next trip. She said she thinks that people responded positively to Daniel because he’s unique – but also because he keeps to himself.

“He is obedient, and he wears a diaper harness, ” she said. ” I make sure before he goes in public that he has a shower, so there’s no smell to him. W hen he’s in public, he behaves. He’s not flapping and running around and chasing people.”

However, Fitzgerald might be a little more prepared next time since, as her friends put it, “Daniel broke the Internet” after his first plane ride.

“I didn’t know that a little Indian Runner duck who weighs six pounds could cause such an uproar,” she said.

Mark Essig was settling into his puddle-jumper flight from Charlotte to Asheville, N.C., on Monday when he noticed an unusual passenger boarding the plane.

It was a duck. Making his way down the aisle.

Wearing red shoes. And a Captain America diaper.

The duck’s human introduced him to their fellow, now-amused passengers: This was Daniel Turducken Stinkerbutt, or Daniel for short. He is a 4 ½-year-old Indian Runner duck and is her emotional support animal, she explained.

“I heard a few maybe semi-critical mutterings, like, ‘Now I’ve seen everything,’ ” Essig told The Washington Post. “But most everybody was delighted to have a duck on a plane. As they should be.”

Like many other passengers, Essig snapped a few photos while Daniel and his human were boarding.

After takeoff, Essig tried to concentrate on light reading during the flight, but he kept inadvertently glancing toward the duck, just a row ahead and to the right of him.

When he saw the duck staring out the window, he couldn’t resist taking one more picture.

After the flight, Essig posted his photos on Twitter.

“My seatmate, [from] CLT [to] AVL, is this handsome duck named Daniel,” Essig tweeted first.

“His gentle quacking eases the sadness of leaving #SFA16,” the Southern Foodways Alliance conference in Mississippi.

“I was expecting that this might amuse a couple of my friends,” he said. What he didn’t anticipate was that the photos would go viral.

It turned out that a duck wearing shoes and a diaper on a plane was too much for the Internet to handle.

Essig posted two more photos and a video: one of Daniel in his full red-shoed, diapered glory, and another of the duck wagging his tail while his owner explains that it means that Daniel is happy. Both tweets were shared thousands of times.

The most popular one, however, was a picture of Daniel as the duck seemed to stare forlornly out the airplane window: “Daniel, the duck on my flight, likes to look at the clouds,” Essig stated simply. That photo had more than 5,000 retweets and more than 11,000 likes.

“A duck head is a very recognizable shape, and the shape of an airline window is a very recognizable shape, too,” Essig said. “So you’ve got two very recognizable shapes that don’t normally go together … it caught people’s eye.”

The encounter amused Essig but also piqued his curiosity about ducks as support animals — he happens to be the author of Lesser Beasts, a book about humans’ complicated relationship with pigs. After the flight, he looked up Daniel’s breed and discovered that Indian Runner ducks do not fly.

“My guess was that he was gazing out the window, looking at the clouds, and the sight triggered a deep ancestral memory of what it was like to fly himself,” Essig said, laughing. “I’m almost certain that’s [what] he was thinking.”

Within two days of Essig’s tweets, Daniel had become an Internet sensation, getting featured on BuzzFeed, ABC News and Cosmopolitan, among many other sites.

The attention surprised Daniel’s owner, Carla Fitzgerald of Wisconsin, “because to me, having an emotional support duck is normal – it’s my new normal.”

Fitzgerald adopted Daniel in 2012, when he was two days old, she told The Post in a phone interview Wednesday. Less than a year later, Fitzgerald, a former horse-and-carriage driver in Milwaukee, was involved in a serious accident.

Why squash needs to be a part of festive meals

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

be enjoyed on their own as a cocktail snack or for a crunchy addition to your Thanksgiving salad.

Squash is as American as apple pie, so why isn’t this delicious, healthy, and versatile ingredient as prominent at our Thanksgiving tables?

There are so many varieties of winter squash that it’s hard to pick a favourite. And though the chefs at The Culinary Institute of America haven’t come to a consensus about which one is their favourite, this recipe for acorn squash with cranberry-orange compote might just end up being yours.

Acorn squash is a cousin to a wide range of hard-skinned squashes like butternut, pumpkin, kabocha and hubbard. Each has its own unique qualities and uses, but the acorn stands out.

It is widely available, and you’re likely to see its familiar acorn shape and orange and green skin in most grocery stores and fall farmers’ markets.

It’s easy to slice, and when cooked, its skin is tender, flavourful, and colorful — so no need to peel. Even better: Acorn squash contains half the calories of sweet potatoes and is rich in fiber and vitamins.

The flesh is sweet and nutty, with a buttery flavour that perfectly complements the tartness of the cranberry-orange compote. It is most commonly baked, or roasted, as in this recipe, and because of its small size and cup-like shape when halved, it can be filled with stuffings before being baked (a great Thanksgiving idea for the vegetarians in your life).

In addition, its seeds are perfect for roasting plain or seasoned, and can

BAKED ACORN SQUASH WITH CRANBERRYORANGE COMPOTE

Servings: 4 Start to finish: 1 hour Baked Acorn Squash 1 acorn squash (about 24 ounces), cut into quarters, seeds removed 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup ¼ cup butter ½ teaspoon salt, or as needed ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or as needed 1 cup Cranberry-Orange Compote (recipe follows) Place the squash, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each piece with the honey, maple syrup, or sugar. Divide the butter into 4 pieces and place 1 piece onto each quarter. Season with salt and pepper.

Cover the squash with foil and bake in a 400 degree F oven for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and continue baking, basting periodically, until tender, about 15 minutes more.

Top each portion of squash with Cranberry-Orange Compote and serve on a heated plate.

Cranberry-Orange Compote (Makes 2 cups) 5 cups whole cranberries, fresh or frozen ¾ cup orange juice ½ cup sugar, or as needed 2 ounces orange zest, blanched Salt, as needed

There’s right and wrong ways to raise a vegan baby

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — There’s a right way and a wrong way to raise a baby on vegan food. Those who get it wrong, parents say, give the responsible ones a bad name.

A Pennsylvania mother claiming to be vegan was charged this month with child endangerment for feeding her baby nothing but small amounts of nuts and berries. In Italy, after a number of vegan babies required hospitalization for malnourishment, a lawmaker this summer proposed a bill that would make it a crime to feed children under 16 a vegan diet.

Those cases are not about veganism at all, but are instead about neglect, say parents who are raising their children vegan. Pinning bad parenting on vegan diets, some say, unfairly stigmatizes those who have done their homework and are safely raising their babies without feeding them animal products like meat and dairy.

“They stress the elements of veganism in these stories, but it’s not that these people aren’t giving their children the right kind of food, it’s that they aren’t feeding them,” said Fulvia Serra, of Fort Collins, Colorado. The native of southern Italy is raising her 1-year-old son vegan, and her 12-year-old daughter is vegetarian.

“To get a child to the point of starvation, it means you are ignoring him and his crying all the time,” she said. “It’s neglect.”

The American Academy of Pediatrics’ book Pediatric Nutrition devotes a chapter to vegetarian and vegan diets. It describes how, with sound nutrition and dietary planning, “it is possible to provide a balanced diet to vegetarians and vegans.”

“For children in general you can have a safe vegan diet, but it has to be in consultation with a pediatrician or health care provider,” said Sheela Magge, an endocrinologist at the Children’s National Health System and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ committee on nutrition. “These are critical times in brain development, and it has to be done carefully.”

The ideal first food for babies is breast milk, Magge said. Many vegan moms opt to breastfeed, but for those who can’t or don’t, the only other option is a soy-based formula.

Key nutrients for babies are Vitamin B-12 and Vitamin D, as well as iron, zinc and calcium, Magge said. Getting enough B-12, which comes from milk and eggs, is a specific concern in the vegan diet, since a shortage can lead to neurological problems.

As babies nurse less and start consuming more solid foods, parents need to make sure all the nutrients necessary for proper development are being provided.

A pediatrician can help guide parents and offer supplements if needed.

In the Pennsylvania case, Elizabeth Hawk was charged Oct. 4 with endangering her 11-month-old son by restricting him to a diet of small amounts of fruit and nuts. Hawk, 30, of Farmington, became “obsessed” with a vegan diet, prompting her estranged husband to contact Fayette County child welfare workers, according to a criminal complaint.

Doctors determined in August that the baby had developmental delays and couldn’t crawl because

Vegan mother Fulvia Serra plays with her one-year-old baby Sebastiano, at home in Fort Collins, Colo. Serra, originally from Italy, and her husband, Scott, are raising their son vegan. Despite criticism and innuendo from some circles, pediatricians and nutritionists agree it’s perfectly healthy to feed babies a vegan diet. However, parents need to be well-informed about the nutritional elements different foods offer, and work closely with their doctor or health-care provider. he was malnourished, according to the complaint.

The malnourishment also worsened a bad rash, the complaint said.

Calls seeking comment from Hawk, her former husband and the public defender’s office weren’t

returned.

Stories of vegan parents being arrested for malnourished children pop up every few years in the U.S., and the cases in Italy have made international news.

A relationship that’s a marriage sandwich DEAR ANNIE ANNIE LANE Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I have been together for over 10 years. However, briefly we separated.

During that time, we still talked every day, talked about our future together and how we still loved each other. We just needed to take some time apart for each of us to evaluate life and decide where we were going. One day, after a few months, he very abruptly told me that we couldn’t talk anymore. I was completely shocked, not to mention heartbroken. I asked him why, and he finally told me that he had met someone else.

After only a couple of short weeks of dating, they got married. Yes — married. During our whole relationship, he had always stated that he would never get married again because his marriage and divorce prior to our dating were horrible. I have always wanted to be married, and although it broke my heart that he didn’t want that, I loved him so much that I was willing to give up that dream.

After only a week of his being married to this new woman, he knew he had made a mistake and quickly filed for divorce. She moved out of his house, and shortly after, he and I decided we wanted to be together regardless of what had happened.

So here we are, back together. He’s divorced, and for the most part, everything is wonderful. However, after eight months, I find myself still having flashbacks, having negative thoughts and getting upset just thinking about his marriage.

I never say anything to him. I keep this to myself and just try to get over it. I just want to know: Am I ever truly going to get over it? Will I ever stop having these thoughts? — Still Dwelling on the Past Dear Dwelling: You say you never say anything to him. Why? Are you afraid of seeming unreasonable?

You were together for 10 years and split up briefly, and he married someone after two weeks of dating her. Of course you’re uneasy. Talk to him, and see whether you two can work your way through the pain.

Then it’s time for some serious self-reflection.

Be very honest with yourself: Can you forgive him or can’t you? If you can, you need to go all in. If you can’t, it’s time to set yourself free, start fresh and perhaps meet someone who values marriage as you

do. Either way, you need to decide. Right now, you’re in limbo, and that’s no place to live.

Dear Annie: The letter from “Worried Wife,” whose husband is so wrapped up in watching sports that it affects his moods, caught my attention. I was a youth hockey coach many years ago. One of the major problems I did encounter a couple of times was dealing with men who were described as having sports obsessions.

In your answer, you suggested that the wife encourage him to get involved with the kids’ activities.

You mentioned that he might be happier about a goal scored by his children than he would be about a goal scored by his favorite team.

I can tell you that such men are prone to abusive, obscene tirades about anything that appears to go badly for their kids, and they are not people I wanted to see at the kids’ games.

I do not know the answer for this man (maybe anger management), but I know that a kids sporting event is not the place for someone like him. Let the obsessive super-fans have a soundproof room for their fun until they learn to be kinder to the rest of us. — Kids’ Coach Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

BarkHappy aims at getting you and your pooch out of the house

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES In the country, where I grew up, dogs lead their own lives: traveling about freely - with owners or not - and showing up for dinner and some relaxation.

In and around the city, it’s up to owners to make sure dogs have a happy, fulfilling existence. When I found myself the proud owner of a young rescue pup, I became all too aware of what I couldn’t give her: a big field in which to run and romp, other dogs to meet and play with, a roast chicken for dinner every night.

BarkHappy, an app launched in July 2015, came to the rescue. It aims to help get her out of the house,

With it, I can find nearby dogs and set meet-ups, send out “wags” to dog owners to say “Hello,” create a “pack” to organize group events and invite others in the neighborhood to join.

And owners can search more granularly for pet-friendly amenities such as water bowls, patios, covered seating, places allowing dogs indoors, etc.

In addition, the app lists local dog-friendly events such as happy hours and weekly meet-ups.

There are also pinpoint lost-dog alerts: Users create a detailed report and mark on a map where the dog was last seen, and the alert is sent to dog owners in the vicinity.

Finally, the app offers tips on such topics as socializing a puppy and traveling with your dog.

When I searched the list of nearby pups available for play dates, I realized there were many dogs of similar size, age and disposition nearby whom we had yet to meet.

This has opened up another, more social world for my pup – and me – to explore.

Spending time in the bedroom

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES We may think we spend most of our time in the kitchen cooking or in the family room. We may think we spend most of our time in the kitchen cooking or in the family room watching TV. But the truth is, we spend one-third of our lives sleeping - so the bedroom wins. And yet, this is not where our decorating dollars go.

“A lot of people want their bedroom to have personality,” says Rebecca Atwood, a Brooklyn textile designer, “but they’re not sure what to do.” If your bedroom is basic but you want beautiful, Atwood and Annie Elliott, a paint-color pro and owner of Bossy Color in Washington, have some ideas to revive it.

The first might be the hardest: Clear out the clutter. Organize clothes and find somewhere else to store the gift wrap. “The surface clutter is a huge problem for all of us,” Elliott says.

Think through color after that, and throw convention out the door. After all, this is the room that you start and end the day with. If a room is large, go with a light color, Elliott says, and if it is small, embrace it with a dark, cozy selection.

Then look to subtle, relaxing patterns - think watercolors, dots, embroidery. “An injection of pattern can enliven any space,” Atwood writes in her new book, Living With Pattern: Color, Texture and Print at Home.

Hit the refresh button on your bedroom with less clutter, new paint and interesting textiles, and enjoy a private space made for rest. ● “If you really love pattern, you should have a patterned duvet,” Atwood says. But pattern doesn’t always mean big and loud: The bedroom is a good place to try soft designs such as marble — and water-inspired fabrics. Roar + Rabbit’s Organic Landscape Duvet Cover and Shams ($29-$109, westelm. com) hit the mark with deep colors done in a painterly way. ● Offer the bedroom a rustic touch with the mango-wood Treago Table Lamp ($169, dwellstudio.com).

It’s petite enough for a nightstand and matches — yet updates — any current scheme. ● A nightstand such as the Baby Relax Miles Campaign Nightstand ($150, target.com) doesn’t have to have its twin on the other side of the bed, Elliott says. She has used everything from an antique demilune to a bachelor’s chest in her projects. The trick is to make sure the heights are the same and the lamps match. ● “Sheets are one of the most natural places to add pattern,” Atwood says. “There’s a lot of options out there for small-scale prints, such as stripes and dots. Those are the ones that are going to go with everything.” The Pebble Slate Sheet Set ($180-$220, crateandbarrel.com) gives polka dots an organic feel. ● Atwood’s Woven Throw Blanket in navy features one of her new patterns and is great for the end of a bed or, for a twist, to hang over a headboard and give it a different, layered look for a season ($349, rebeccaatwood.com). ● One of Atwood’s favorite bedding brands is

Parachute. Its products are basic and unfussy and feature lots of linen options, such as the Linen Stripe Duvet Cover Set ($349, parachutehome.com), which Atwood says “is great year-round.” If you want more-seasonal fabrics, she notes that percale is light and airy for summer; sateen feels a bit warmer at night for spring and fall; and flannel, of course, is classic winter bed wear. ● Elliott, a former art historian, likes to make

bedrooms feel like real rooms, not just caves for sleeping. For that, lighting is key, she says. Even if you have tiny bedside lights, she advocates for table and floor lamps as well. The Uteki Printed Lamp Ensemble adds a nice spot of pattern, too ($148-$298, anthropologie.com).

Turning bought or found fabrics into treasures DEBBIE TRAVIS HOUSE TO HOME Whenever I am on my (fairly constant) shopping expeditions through country flea markets, antique and slightly-used shops, and demolition sites, I let my imagination take over. It’s not just old pieces of furniture I’m scouting, although I do take great satisfaction from transforming salvaged benches, tables and beds. Anything from lamps to carpets, washstands, ceramic pots, or jewelry might catch my eye. They are all grist for the decorating mill. And then there are glorious fabrics — antique linens and laces, velvet gowns, satin sashes, quilts, old draperies and scrap bags. Their colours and textures, aged but still soft and beautiful, beg to be taken home and turned into something new.

Cassandra Ellis’ beautiful book, Home Sewn, published by Clarkson Potter, demonstrates how to turn linens and leathers and other bought or found fabrics into treasures that will make your home come alive with warmth and history. It’s a history that you may start, or continue to pass along. From heirloom quilts and stylish curtains to practical poufs and ottomans, Ellis treats every room in her home to hand sewn style, and assures her readers that “sewing home goods is something we can all do.” A basic sewing machine, a pair of good sewing scissors, a small collection of threads, including her favourite metallic threads, and your selection of fabrics will get you started.

In the vignette shown here, with photography by Catherine Gratwicke, Ellis shows us her whimsical side by fashioning a chandelier made from scraps of cotton, silk and leather. There is no light inside this

fabric chandelier, it’s meant to be fun and a visual delight. Cut out circles, or any shape you like, from your choice of fabrics. You can paint the shapes, and add glitter to some. The fabric chains are joined together with a straight stitch sewn through the center of each shape, leaving a small space between each, but not breaking the thread. The chains are then attached to a lamp ring, or you can make your own wire ring. The finished piece is hung from the ceiling with heavy thread, ribbon or string.

On a more practical note, the oversized pillows (or ottomans as Ellis calls them) stacked under the table are multipurpose, used as teen headrests, dog beds, footstools, and extra seating. Ellis supplies a pattern for this project, which can be downloaded from her website, www.cassandraellis.co.uk. Click on homesewn downloads and print out the pdf. Instructions for each project are straightforward and the steps are not difficult. If you can sew a seam and hand stitch, you are set. Some items such as a lamp shade kit are sourced in the U.K., but readily available here either through craft shops or online.

Here are more projects Ellis has made specially for her home and yours. Stamped cotton voile café curtains, using wooden blocks for stamping and either fabric ink, or paint or pads. Leather beanbag bookends are a unique idea and can be fancy or plain; it’s all in the fabric you choose. Patchwork pillows, antique silk-scrap bed bolsters, a silk velvet and antique sari quilt that is sure to become an heirloom. And to add a delicate and flighty touch to a corner wall or curtain, how about some gilded silk organdy butterflies? If you haven’t sewn anything yet, you will become a convert simply by leafing through this book.

Space for railing against the rail DAVID FERGUSON CREATIVE SPACE When the city’s architectural conservation board advised the developer of this condominium complex that the first 10 feet of this former Canadian National Railways building would have to be conserved and preserved, things became a whole lot more complicated for the company’s interior space planners.

It was determined that the c. 1900 building front’s 13 triangular window bays were unique to the extent that only four examples remained worldwide.

True to his style, the developer saw a marketing opportunity rather than a setback, and after some negotiation, Croft Street was renamed Triangle Bays and civic number 4 became ‘13 Triangle Bays.’

In order to accommodate the heritage guidelines, the new portion of the building would have to sit up to four-feet lower than the older portion so as not to distract from its architectural integrity.

Rather than lose an entire storey of the building, the designers decided to integrate stairs into the design and each one of the units was fitted not only with a full staircase to the second storey, but a set of risers leading to an upper level.

With a view to creating a unique look for each condominium, it was decided to allow the people who purchased these units the freedom to choose how to design the multi-layered manor.

1. The developer proposed a simple solution: a railing to separate the higher space with a small, non-descript staircase that cut a path through the already small kitchen.

Alternatively, the staircase could be built on the living room side of the wall, or both small staircases could connect the two spaces.

Furthermore, the dining room is isolated from the living room, separated by a glass and chrome railing across the room.

But the least appealing part of this layout is how the view of the apartment’s focal feature, the triangular windows, was limited from anywhere but the dining room.

2. Because the living room is almost twice as long as it is wide, there is plenty of room for new homeowners to incorporate the dining room within the living room space.

With that area freed up, a full-height wall could be built and the newly-created area would be ideal for a fully separate ground floor bedroom, an office, or a family room.

Our version of this idea shows a cosy family room on the upper level, but with a single staircase connecting it and the kitchen with the lower level.

The resulting changes would give a little more space to the kitchen, space enough to create an efficient galley-style kitchen.

Although small, the family room has all the elements it needs to make a pleasant place to watch television.

3. One ingenious home-buyer chose to switch the dining room and kitchen location so that they would have a larger kitchen space. We have tinkered with their idea, adding an large island and a full-height

pantry, both must-haves in today’s kitchens.

A large, functional kitchen gets one of the best returns-on-investment of any home renovation.

Anyone would expect this condominium to be appointed with top-quality quartz countertops, topof-the-line appliances and clean and contemporary, simple finishes on the floor and cabinets.

Elements that may be considered with this plan, including a window or opening that overlooks the living room, an eat-at area on the island.

Partially eliminating the upper cabinets for more transparency between the spaces would also be desirable.

4. Grand designs call for grand solutions so we de-

cided on an elegant wall-to-wall staircase, reminiscent of a classic Busby Berkley musical. The stairs feature maple wood treads and stainless steel risers and railings, reflecting the stainless steel window frames.

Improve the trades with the right attitude STEVE MAXWELL HOUSEWORKS Last month I heard from a reader named Mike about an article I wrote on the long-term shortage of skilled tradespeople in Canada. This reality is at least half a century old, and I hear about it from homeowners and contractors all the time. As a professional builder, Mike offered insights you don’t hear very often. He figures the problem runs a lot deeper than just lack of training, and I’m inclined to believe him. There’s a huge vested interest in keeping the trades the way they are today, but in case anyone is interested in real solutions, Mike has some ideas.

‘TODAY A YOUNG TRADESPERSON IS EXPECTED TO COME INTO A COMPANY ALREADY MINIMALLY TRAINED, AND WITH THEIR OWN TOOLS. THEY FREQUENTLY HAVE LITTLE INSTRUCTION OTHER THAN BASIC ORDERS FROM A CREW CHIEF, AND NO SUPERVISION REGARDING PROPER TECHNIQUE OR CRITIQUE OF THEIR FINISHED PRODUCT.’ - MIKE, HOUSEWORKS READER

“One problem with going into trades is that there is no longer a mentor/student relationship as there was with the old guild system,” explains Mike. “Back then students were taught a craft and guided by a master craftsman in a variety of assignments that included mathematics, the history of the trade, reading blueprints, proper language skills, managing a business, meeting with clients, making estimates, budgets, expense reports, selecting materials and lots more. The guild system brought students up from completely unskilled to a master level, with the intent that they would one day either take over the master’s business or start one of their own.”

But don’t today’s apprenticeship programs function like the guilds used to? No, not really.

“Today a young tradesperson is expected to come into a company already minimally trained, and with their own tools,” explains Mike. “They frequently have little instruction other than basic orders from a crew chief, and no supervision regarding proper technique or critique of their finished product.

Young people are left to guess what’s required or how best to solve a problem. And there’s frequently no rising through the ranks, either. You continue to

The more experienced, older worker has almost no chance to pass on what he or she has learned because they’re downsized when they can’t keep up with the 20 year-olds.”

Mike’s grandfather was a stonemason and building contractor who had a saying that I love: “Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.” The idea here is that a careful rate of progress ends up being faster than a rushed job that’s sloppy and needs to be redone. “It’s experience that makes you smooth,” says Mike, “but if you examine the quality of construction today, it’s mostly fast and sloppy. Miters not closed, framing not plumb, countertops unlevel, floors that squeak, decks that collapse. We call it ‘pirate construction’ where I come from, and it’s common.

So where is the solution? Ultimately it comes from the same place most solutions come from: individuals. Government has been trying to fix the trade issue for decades and it can’t. If anything, government has made matters worse. Ultimately, Mike sees at least part of the problem is an attitude he sees all

the time.

“Skill and enthusiasm for doing good work is lost because many customers want everything FAST. No time to plan, no time to consider options, just “WE WANT IT TODAY!” Mike told me about a client who insisted on some quick-and-dirty kitchen shelves instead of a proper corner cabinet. In the end, after a lot of wasted time and material, the clients insisted on a corner cabinet after all.

“What I should have done from the start was convince these people that a corner cabinet was necessary. I knew better but didn’t listen to that little voice in my head that was telling me to follow my experience and not their bad judgment.”

Don’t be cheap, don’t rush and don’t neglect to find the kind of tradespeople who respond to the opportunity to do good work. That’s how you can boost the state of trades where you live.

Matte finishes are a top fall decor trend

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Take a look through the fall decor catalogues or browse the aisles of furnishings stores and you’ll see a recurring theme: matte finishes.

“Matte is having a moment right now,” says Donna Garlough, Joss & Main’s style director.

“Especially in white, black, chalky greys and pastels. It works because accents and lighting in a matte finish pair so naturally with some of the furniture trends we’re seeing.”

The velvety, non-glossy sheens offset the natural walnut tones and satiny surface of midcentury wood furniture.

And they offer a dramatic contrast to glam elements like burnished and polished metals, clear acrylic, and high- and medium-nap textiles.

“A matte piece can be very grounding, and neutralize the look,” Garlough says.

Manufacturers are using a range of techniques, like lime washes, eggshell paints, powder-coating and ceramic firing.

When honed instead of highly polished, marble, stone and other materials develop a soft matte glow.

Spanish design shop Mermelada Estudio’s spare, linear Alchemy bed frame at CB2, in matte black, is a backdrop for linens of any style. (www.cb2.com) Joss & Main’s Elizabeth floor lamp is cast in matte black steel, giving its slim profile a bit of an industrial look. (www.jossandmain.com ) Lumisource’s matte black Austin dining chairs also have an industrial vibe, and would complement a rustic farm table.

Or you could pair them with a dining table with midcentury panache, like the Aeon, a satin-finished ash slab on matte, powder-coated steel legs. (www. wayfair.com )

Pottery looks especially chic in matte finishes.

Check out CB2’s Roz planter in cream or deep taupe, as well as the Hendricks vase, with a crisp, white, faceted motif.

Room and Board has an exclusive collection of porcelain vases crafted by New York’s KleinReid Studio, based on Hungarian ceramicist Eva Zeisel’s modernist designs.

Her curvy vessels, rendered in matte grey, carbon and ivory, might adorn a tablescape or mantel. (www. roomandboard.com ) At Hive Modern, Swedish designer Clara von Zweigbergk’s Cirque pendant lamps were inspired by her trip to Copenhagen’s Tivoli district.

Bands of spun aluminum in matte hues suggest playful carousels, cotton candy makers and wheels of fortune.

Jean-Marie Massaud’s Namaste free-form melamine plates resemble flat stones, and come in earthy hues.

The geologic vibe is echoed in Patricia Urquiola’s

Phoenix coffee tables, a series of honed, low-slung laminate or wood veneer slabs perched on matte steel bases. (www.hivemodern.com ) The trend has found its way into the kitchen, too.

Both GE and BlueStar offer ranges in matte slate finishes. Brizo has a sleek, matte-finished faucet in white or black. (www.geappliances.com www.bluestarcooking.com www.brizo.com ) Williams-Sonoma has a dramatic suite of matte black Le Creuset cookware in its fall collection. Canvas Home’s Madrid cutlery is ebony steel and titanium. (www.williams-sonoma.com www.canvashome. com ) For crafty decorators, the new matte spray paints can be fun to experiment with, says Garlough.

“You can paint anything with it, and I do mean anything,” she says.

“I’ve seen stylists paint everything from an old telephone to an eggplant and turn it into an objet d’art. It’s crazy how cool you can make something look with a coat of matte paint.”

Saturday, Oct. 22, 2016 ‘IF YOU SHARE A BED AND THE OTHER PERSON IS ANTI-PILLOW, SHAMS OR ONE ACCENT PILLOW MIGHT BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE FOR FUN – SO MAKE IT COUNT.’

STORY FROM PAGE E1

BEDROOM: Clean, uncluttered bedrooms

– ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

● Elliott chooses nightstands with drawers for many of her clients because she likes clean, uncluttered bedrooms. (“You have to have a place for a tissue or a pen,” she says.) The Marcelle 3-Drawer Nightstand ($619, rhbabyandchild.com) has three.

Whichever nightstand you choose, measure its height and make sure it works with the height at which you sleep, because contemporary furniture is often low to the ground. ● When updating a standard bedroom to something more interesting, think about texture, too.

“Look at crochet, linen, things that are knit,” Atwood says. A puckered seersucker-like stripe is also nice, as on the Tidal White Duvet Cover ($223-$308, pineconehill.com). ● It’s an age-old design question: How many pillows should go on the bed? If you share a bed and the other person is anti-pillow, shams or one accent

pillow might be your only chance for fun – so make it count. Check two boxes and add texture with World Market’s Black, White and Gray Kilim Lumbar Pillow ($50, worldmarket.com). ● If you’re iffy on pattern in the bedroom, Atwood says to start with pillowcases.

“You can test and see if you like it,” she says.

Then, if you want to add the matching sheets, you can. Atwood also says she loves seeing bold shams.

Try the Thandie Watercolor Printed Shams ($39-$49, ballarddesigns.com). ● Atwood likes big pillows to prop yourself up in bed for reading, or tickling kids on the floor. Pottery Barn’s Solid Velvet Lumbar Pillow Cover comes in six saturated colors and can be monogrammed ($29.50, potterybarn.com). ● Small-scale patterns, such as the cross-stitch, running stitch and diamonds in the Milou Embroi-

E6

dered Linen Sheet Set ($309-$359, restorationhardware.com), read as texture from a distance, Atwood notes. These types of patterns are easy to layer and match. ● Elliott favors a clean, white bedding cover “because your bed has a lot of visual real estate in a room,” she says.

“There’s so much ‘look-at-me’ bedding, but if you make white a main part of your room, you make your life so much easier.”

In particular, she likes a nice, classic matelassé, such as the Boyfriend White Matelassé Cover ($243$359, pineconehill.com).

Light or dark?

Arguments can be made for choosing light or dark paint color in a bedroom. How should you decide?

Elliott says to go with the room’s DNA. If a bedroom is large and airy, then it’s natural to pick a soft gray or pale blue. If a bedroom is small, embrace its size and pick a rich claret or deep navy. Her top two light and dark paint colors.
