ASHINGTON — Donald Trump moved within reach of the White House Tuesday night, capturing crucial victories over Hillary Clinton in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina, a remarkable show of strength by the celebrity businessman and political

novice who upended American politics with his bombastic rhetoric and calls for sweeping change.

He also stunningly carried Pennsylvania, breaking through a Democratic firewall in a state that had not backed a Republican for president since 1988. His victories left Clinton with a perilously narrow path and no margin for error in battleground states where votes

were still being counted.

As the race lurched well past midnight, Trump inched closer to the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House. Trump stood at 264 to Clinton’s 215.

Dow Jones futures and Asian markets tumbled, reflecting investor alarm over what a Trump presidency might mean for the economy and global trade.

A New York real estate

developer who lives in a gold-plated Manhattan penthouse, Trump forged a striking connection with white, working class Americans who feel left behind in a changing economy and diversifying country. He cast immigration, both from Latin America and the Middle East, as the root of the problems plaguing many Americans.

ELECTION: Deeply divided nation

www.reddeeradvocate.com

A victory for Trump would threaten many of President Barack Obama’s major achievements.

The Republican has vowed to repeal Obama’s landmark health care law, revoke the nuclear agreement with Iran and rewrite important trade deals with other countries, particularly Mexico and Canada.

Clinton’s stunned advisers went silent for long stretches of the night. As the results rolled in, the candidate tweeted to supporters, “Whatever happens tonight, thank you for everything.”

Top Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway touted the campaign’s achievements, writing on Twitter that “rally crowds matter” and “we expanded the map.”

Exit polls underscored the deep divisions that have defined the 2016 contest. Women nationwide supported Clinton by a double-digit margin, while men were significantly more likely to back Trump.

More than half of white voters backed the Republican, while nearly 9 in 10 blacks and two-thirds of Hispanics voted for the Democrat.

If Trump pulls off the stunning upset, he’ll govern with a Congress fully under Republican control. The GOP fended off a Democratic challenge in the Senate, winning key races in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and the party also extended its grip on the House.

Democrats, as well as some Republicans, expected Trump’s unconventional candidacy would damage down-ballot races and even flip some reliably red states in the presidential race. But Trump held on to Republican territory, including in Georgia and Utah, where Clinton’s campaign confidently invested resources.

The 45th president will inherit an anxious nation, deeply divided by economic and educational opportunities, race and culture. The economy has rebounded from the depths of recession, though many Americans have yet to benefit. New terror threats from home and abroad have raised security fears.

Clinton asked voters to keep the White House in her party’s hands for a third straight term. She cast herself as heir to President Barack Obama’s legacy and pledged to make good on his unfinished agenda, including passing immigration legislation, tightening restrictions on guns and tweaking his signature health care law.

But she struggled throughout the race with persistent questions about her honesty and trustworthiness. Those troubles flared anew late in the race, when FBI Director James Comey announced a review of new emails from her tenure at the State Department. On Sunday, just two days before Election Day, Comey said there was nothing in the material to warrant criminal charges against Clinton.

The Republican Party’s tortured relationship with its nominee was evident right up to the end.

Former President George W. Bush and wife Laura Bush declined to back Trump, instead selecting “none of the above” when they voted for president, according to spokesman Freddy Ford.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, a reluctant Trump supporter, called the businessman earlier in the evening to congratulate him, according to a Ryan spokeswoman.

Trump set both parties on edge when he refused to say in the third and final debate whether he would accept the election’s results, citing with no evidence the possibility of a rigged outcome.

His statement threatened to undermine a fundamental pillar of American democracy and raised the prospect that his fervent supporters would not view Clinton as a legitimate president if she won.

Asked Tuesday in an interview with Fox News if he would accept the election results, Trump continued to demur, saying “We’re going to see how things play out.”

Most problems that did pop up at polling places Tuesday appeared to be routine — the kinds of snags that come every four years, including long lines, machines not working properly and issues with ballots or voter rolls.

Even before Tuesday, almost 45 million people had cast ballots for president. Many expressed relief the end was in sight after an election season in which personal attacks often drowned out the issues.

Clinton has denounced Trump for calling Mexican immigrants “rapists” and promoting a ban on Muslims entering the U.S., and for his long line of remarks about women that culminated in an audio in which he bragged about grabbing their genitals.

Her campaign was hoping high turnout among Hispanics push her over the top in states like Florida and Nevada.

“I grew up in a Hispanic family, and the way that Donald Trump has referred to illegal immigrants — being from illegal immigrants, I took that to heart,” said Angel Salazar, a 22-year-old sanitation associate from Oklahoma City. “I don’t like anything that he said. I don’t like his views. So I voted for Hillary Clinton because she supports us.”

U.S. ELECTION

Canadians stunned

by Trump surge

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

O

TTAWA — It wasn’t the party that they were expecting.

Donald Trump’s surprise showing in the bitterly fought U.S. election came as a sharp surprise Tuesday to election watchers in Canada, including those gathered in the historic ballroom of a downtown Ottawa hotel.

The U.S. Embassy’s viewing party at Ottawa’s Chateau Laurier hotel started as a festive occasion, but the mood soon turned serious. The cocktail banter of embassy staffers, politicos and invited guests became decidedly muted through the night as big-screen TVs blared live coverage of Trump’s gains in key swing states like Florida, Ohio and Michigan.

The sound was turned up on the television screens and stayed up for much of the evening as Hillary Clinton’s expected victory — some said it would be a landslide — failed to materialize.

One woman covered her mouth and turned away from the screen, while another said, “Oh no!” one U.S.-born guest was overheard telling a friend they might have to reconsider moving back south of the border as planned.

“It appears we’re going to have to still wait a little while to determine who is going to be the next president of the United States,” U.S. ambassador Bruce Heyman told the few dozen embassy staffers, journalists and guests lingering shortly before midnight when the embassy had to pack up their party for the night.

“Regardless of who wins this race, the U.S.Canada relationship will continue to thrive and be very strong,” he said. “I know that we will continue to be the best friends, trading partners and allies as we face this new presidency.”

A Trump presidency would surely have wideranging repercussions in Canada, said Laura Dawson, the head of the Canada Institute at Washington’s Wilson Center, citing examples like climate policies, Syrian refugees and trade.

Trump has promised to gut environmental regulations at a time when Canada plans a variety of climate-change policies, including a carbon tax, she noted.

“Canada is going to be left with very, very, very expensive climate policies,” Dawson said.

Couple shocked after beloved dogs killed at kennel A

The three dogs owned by Naudia and Leonard Sztym, (left to right) Casey, Jasper and Willow. the dogs in touch with each other.

There were no witnesses to the incident, but Layton believes she knows which dog attacked the Sztyms’ dogs because all the others were separate from the scene when she came upon it. There had been no previous similar incidents, she said. Willow was unharmed.

Leonard Sztym said he has spoken with the owners of the pit bull-Rottweiler, and they, too, are feeling very bad, and he doesn’t blame them.

He said he and his wife understood when they checked out the kennel that small dogs would be kept separate from large dogs, and that there would always be someone supervising them.

“We’re in shock. We’re in shock.”

“I understand where they’re coming from,” Layton said of the Sztyms. “I am beyond devastated. …I have also lost a dog suddenly myself, not related to the kennel, and the devastation I felt from that is staggering.”

She said she was away from the dogs for less than five minutes, and it was typical to put them all together because one of the reasons people bring their dogs there is for socializing. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Layton later said in her apology emailed to the Sztyms that their dogs were kept separate from the large dogs until they settled in. On Thursday when it appeared they had, the two play areas for the dogs were merged and there were no issues.

Then on Friday morning, Layton went to answer the doorbell at the business. When she returned to the dogs soon after, she found the large dog — a pitbull-Rottweiler cross — nosing Casey on the ground, and Jasper lying still nearby.

Red Deer dentist says he warned the health minister about the lack of dental sedation guidelines for children about four months before a four-yearold suffered a brain ‘I JUST SENT injury at an Edmonton dental clinic.

THAT WARNING Dr. Michael Zuk RECOMMENDING said he was noticing THE HEALTH stories out of the MINISTER LOOK U.S. about children dying at the dentist.

INTO IT. THREE A colleague also OR FOUR MONTHS had concerns so LATER, A KID’S IN Zuk faxed Health A COMA.’ Minister Sarah Hoffman about — DR. MICHAEL ZUK Alberta’s weak DENTIST sedation guidelines that allowed dentists to do both sedation and dental treatment.

He said even if the Edmonton dentist had done everything right in September, he was still doing double duty.

“It’s kind of like driving a sports car and texting. You just can’t do it really well,” said Zuk on Tuesday.

Zuk, who doesn’t sedate children, said he never received a response from the minister.

“I just sent that warning recommending the health minister look into it. Three or four months later, a kid’s in a coma.”

Zuk said Alberta had the worst guidelines for sedation, a matter that can be life and death.

“Kids are more susceptible to injuries during sedation than adults are. It’s the size of their bodies.”

He said other provinces have rules, and it shouldn’t take more than a month for the Alberta Dental Association and College to put rules in place.

“I have met with Amber and her family, and I know how difficult this has been for them,” said Hoffman. “The college has the responsibility to make sure it is doing everything it can to protect patients and has suspended the practice of allowing a dentist to sedate and treat a patient.

The college and its members also recognized that this standard of practice needed to be reviewed as early as back in 2015 and that review has been underway over the past year” Last week, the dental association banned dentists from administering deep sedation or general anesthesia while simultaneously performing a treatment.

“Everything right now is in limbo. They just suspended dual duty. They haven’t nailed down what is permissible,” Zuk said.

The association said it started a review of sedation practices more than a year ago that is still underway, but the changes were to take effect immediately.

Zuk recommends parents request sedation be provided by a pediatric anesthesiologist while a dental professional does dental work if their child must be sedated with anything deeper than nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

LENDING CUPBOARD

Non-profit grapples with growing demand

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

T

he Lending Cupboard is searching for ways to address the need for a larger facility, a bigger budget, more staff and volunteers to meet growing public demand to borrow medical equipment.

On Tuesday morning, the non-profit released a community needs assessment report, which looks at population and demographic growth trends, emerging health and wellness issues in Central Alberta.

Executive director Dawna Morey said the community and health-care providers mistakenly believe the non-profit is funded by government when only 15 per cent of its $335,000 annual budget is covered by Alberta Health Services for people with hip and knee replacements.

Morey said it’s also a misconception that the funding people receive through Aids to Daily Living program goes to The Lending Cupboard. The only benefit is that some people will donate their equipment.

“We’re very appreciative of that. But there’s no money there to maintain that equipment, to have the equipment provided to the client, all of those things,” Morey said.

The non-profit also addresses the needs of clients with orthopedic disorders, arthritis, heart disease, strokes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, diabetes, obesity and cancer, which are all on the rise.

In 2015-16, The Lending Cupboard lent out 16,000 pieces of equipment to 4,300 clients, up from 330 pieces to 456 clients in 2006 when the Cupboard opened.

According to the report, seniors are the largest users of the Cupboard, which lends equipment at no cost to Central Albertans, and by 2036 about 20 per cent of Alberta’s population will be over age 65.

As more people experience poverty due to the recession, more will also look to the Cupboard for help instead of buying or renting equipment.

When it comes to its facility, the Cupboard has sometimes had to rely on extra storage space in a sea can located in its parking lot and has an overflow warehouse for storing extra equipment.

Storage is a problem despite about 80 per cent of

equipment being on loan at any given time.

“We’re bursting, and we need help to be able to expand,” said Morey, the Cupboard’s only full-time employee.

The Cupboard is open five hours, three days a week and as demand increases, so should staffing and volunteers to make the service more readily

available, she said.

“When I’m in the office on the days we are closed there are people at the door wanting, needing equipment so it’s something that we truly need to address.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Rotary Club, city join forces on playground project Funds are being raised to build Red Deer’s second and largest barrier-free playground in Central Alberta.

The Rotary Club of Red Deer and the City of Red Deer have joined forces to construct a fully accessible playground structure at the Mattie McCullough Elementary School site in Lonsdale.

“A person living with a disability can go and play on all the pieces of equipment. It’s just not possible at other typical playgrounds. There may be one or two apparatuses that are barrier free, but this entire playground will be accessible,” said Shelley Gagnon, the city’s Recreation, Parks & Culture manager.

The projected cost of the project is approximately $500,000 and will be funded solely through the Rotary Club.

The city is responsible for the approval of the playground’s design and installation and the ongoing operations and maintenance of the play structure.

The Rotary Club is fundraising and is hoping to begin construction by the summer of 2017. It is expected to be completed in late 2018.

Toys for Tickets campaign returns The City of Red Deer’s Toys for Tickets campaign is back.

Motorists who get parking tickets between Nov. 1 and Dec. 2 can once again choose to donate a toy instead of paying the fine.

“It’s all about giving back to the community,” said Fred Dieno, parking co-ordinator for the City of Red Deer.

The program, now in its 10th year, has been a huge success, with more than 5,000 toys collected since it started. Last year, 348 citizens paid off their tickets by donating toys to the Red Deer Christmas Bureau, helping ensure that no child wakes up without a toy on Christmas morning.

Donated toys can be dropped off on Dec. 1 and 2 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the first floor of City Hall.

The toys must be new, unwrapped and in their original packaging. The early payment rate applies when the ticket is paid for with a toy, but the donated item must equal or exceed the amount of the parking ticket. A receipt must be presented when the toy is dropped off, and if the toy is valued less than the ticket, the difference must be paid.

Gifts for children aged 10 to 16 are in especially high demand. Craft sets, movie passes, books, electronics, sports equipment and gift cards are suggested donations for this age group.

Construction slated to start in spring on community centre

BY JONATHAN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF

C

onstruction on the North Red Deer Community Centre is set to begin next spring.

Architectural drawings, cost build up estimates and all other detail specifications for the facility are expected to wrap up sometime next month.

“This community centre has been on our radar since we did an asset needs assessment study back in 2010,” said Shelley Gagnon, the city’s Recreations Parks & Culture manager. “We found through that assessment study that the community was looking for something different, and something more sustainable,” With a budget of $8,843,000, the community centre, located at Taylor Drive and 77 Street, next to Glendale School, will include multi-purpose spaces, meeting/programming rooms, small kitchen areas, and an indoor playground.

The city began discussions with the neighbourhoods of Normandeau, Aspen Heights, Glendale, Kentwood, Kingsgate, Johnstone Park and Johnstone Crossing to talk about the type

of facility they would like to see.

“Because of where it’s at, on the Glendale site, it’s going to be a campus type feel. It will be sort of linked to the skate park and with the school on site, we see great synergy opportunities,” said Gagnon.

“We look at this very much as a campus and a place for multi-generations to come and share experiences.”

Gagnon said the facility offers a place where the community can gather, build relationships, experience arts and cultures and have recreation and leisure opportunities.

“Whether it’s a park or a building, a place like this can build stronger neighbourhoods and a feeling of connectedness and resiliency. It fosters inclusion, belonging along with physical and social well-being,” said Gagnon.

The city has already relocated a playground from their soon-to-be construction site, to help get ready for construction this spring.

The 20,000-square foot facility will include a gathering area of 250 people and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2018. jonathan.guignard@reddeeradvocate.com

CRIME RATE

AGRITRADE PREPARATIONS

Property crime a driving force

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF

P

roperty crime continues to drive the rise in crime in Red Deer over the past four years.

According to the third quarter crime statistics released by the City of Red Deer Tuesday, crime has risen 19.8 per cent since 2013. The statistics released capture reported crime from January to September of each year.

From January to September, 2013 there were 15,428 criminal code offences reported. In that same time frame this year, that number grew to 18,483.

The major driving force behind the increase is in property crime, which grew from 8,587 in 2013 to 11,941 in 2016 or a 39 per cent increase.

“The increase in property crimes is consistent across the province and beyond, and our Project Pinpoint crime reduction strategy targets those individuals,” said Supt. Ken Foster, Red Deer RCMP officer in charge. “Our focus is on identifying prolific criminals, problem addresses and crime hot spots and putting career offenders before the court in higher numbers than ever.”

Between April 6 and Sept. 6, Project Pinpoint has laid 266 charges and executed more than 175 warrants. Through data analysis and targeted enforcement, police conducted 458 checks on specific people, places and criminal patterns including 139 people on parole or probation and 70 more career criminals with a history of property crime.

Persons crimes, which includes assaults, robbery and homicides, is down from 2013 — dropping from 2,414 to 2,220 or eight per cent.

“We have begun to see reductions in organized and persons crime, through enforcement priorities in our local annual policing plan; we know, however, we still have substantial work to do,” said Mayor Tara Veer, adding council has met with Foster and will have ongoing discussions. “We have identified the need to focus on reducing local property crimes in addition to our ongoing efforts to reduce organized and persons crime.”

DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Non-profit ransacked, inventory stolen

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF

A

rude awakening greeted Cathy Hackett when she walked into the Dress for Success Boutique Sunday

morning.

It had been ransacked.

Hackett, Dress for Success board president, had received a call from her landlord saying the boutique had been broken into.

“We didn’t know what to expect until we got down there,” said Hackett.

Bovine tuberculosis case investigation now includes Saskatchewan The food safety investigation into a case of bovine tuberculosis that was found in an Alberta cow now extends into Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association says a ranch in the southwestern part of the province is under quarantine along with 30 farms in southeastern Alberta.

Chad MacPherson, an association spokesman, says this is not a new case of the contagious bacterial disease.

He says the Saskatchewan herd was placed under quarantine based on a trace-out from the farm in

“It’s devastating. It’s hard to believe people do that, but for people to do that to a non-profit organizations is just crazy.”

The non-profit organization provides professional attire for women to secure employment. Saturday night or Sunday morning it had been broken into and had a large portion of its inventory stolen.

Taken were shoes, costume jewelry, purses, bras, cosmetics and makeup, belts and clothes. Even a couple of mannequins were stolen.

Hackett said the ordeal felt shocking.

“It doesn’t make a lot of sense,” said Hackett. “We’ve had to close down and not do any suitings for clients until Dec. 1 because we need to replenish and clean up.”

Resilient, Dress for Success is holding a donation day to help restock its shelves.

From 10 am. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 19, people are asked to drop off items that will help the charity get back on its feet.

Due to its inventory loss, there are specific items needed to help Dress for Success get back on its feet.

They are in the greatest need of

winter boots and coats, shoes and short boots, purses, any gently used foundation garments, any jewelry, purses, wallets, clutches, belts and unopened shampoo or conditioner.

“We still have some normal clothing, but it’s not the popular sizes that we usually end up using,” said Hackett.

The boutique is located at 4917 48th St. in downtown Red Deer. Hackett said the hope is to have the boutique up and running in full by the start of December. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

DMONTON — The only two female candidates in the Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership contest quit the race Tuesday.

One of them, Sandra Jansen, said she had been harassed and intimidated and accused fellow leadership candidate Jason Kenney of bringing “Trump-style politics” to Alberta.

Jansen, a Calgary member of the legislature, resigned from the race in a letter to her supporters.

“This past weekend in Red Deer (at the party’s policy convention) has left me quite shaken,” Jansen wrote.

She said after more than 30 years in the Progressive Conservatives, “I have never before experienced harassment

like that which occurred up to, and including, this past weekend.

“Insults were scrawled on my nomination forms. Volunteers from another campaign chased me up and down the hall, attacking me for protecting women’s reproductive rights, and my team was jeered for supporting children’s rights to a safe school environment.”

She said the weekend was “the final straw” in a campaign of intimidation.

She said that in recent months “my social media has been filled with filth (and) my domain name purchased to direct people to smear pieces on me.”

Jansen was one of two women in the race to become the next leader of the PCs. The other, former PC MLA Donna Kennedy-Glans, also announced in a news release she was departing the race.

COURT

Auditor general sharply criticizes aid program for severely handicapped

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

E

NEWS

DMONTON — Alberta’s auditor general says the government is failing the severely disabled through its income supports program.

Auditor General Merwan Saher, in a report issued Monday, says the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped program is rife with duplication, roadblocks, subjective decision-making, and failing quality control.

“I don’t doubt that the 330 staff administering the program are doing their best, but if you step back and look at the whole, it’s as if the system doesn’t care,” Saher said. “Operational management of the AISH program is failing. (And) I believe ministerial oversight is failing.”

Human Services Minister Irfan Sabir said he accepts and will implement Saher’s recommendations.

He said his department has already begun to fix the problems and

has launched a new online application program that is easier to navigate and understand.

“There was work in progress for a while now,” Sabir said. “We’ve asked our department to look into these issues and make it more accessible (and) user friendly.”

He said it’s been a challenge given they inherited long-standing problems from the previous Progressive Conservative government.

Wildrose Human Services critic Angela Pitt said the NDP government needs to take a hard look at its own performance.

“Clearly, after 18 months in power, the NDP has brought in little accountability to ensure those most in need receive funding,” said Pitt.

The AISH program provides living allowances for those who demonstrate their disability impedes them from earning a living.

Applicants submit a form and supporting documents to see if they’re eligible.

Size discussed in sex assault case

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

C

ALGARY — The lawyer for a man being retried after a judge’s controversial remarks in a sexual assault case has suggested his client’s penis size may have played a role in whether the woman consented to sex.

Alexander Scott Wagar’s lawyer, Pat Flynn, asked the woman during cross-examination Tuesday if she was attracted to his client after he flashed her and she saw that he was “larger than most men.”

“No,” she responded vehemently.

Flynn suggested the sex was consensual because the two had been engaging in “aggressive foreplay.”

“No,” she replied again.

The complainant told court that she had danced with Wagar after he flashed her and that she had complimented him on his dance moves.

Court has already heard how Wagar, 29, and the woman, 24, were at a party in a Calgary home in December 2011.

The woman testified that she was in the bathroom when Wagar came in, locked the door and ripped her clothes off. She said the sexual assault lasted 15 to 20 minutes.

Wagar was acquitted of sexual assault in 2014 by Judge Robin Camp,

who decided Wagar’s version of events was more credible.

During the original trial, Camp referred to the complainant as the accused, asked her “Why couldn’t you just keep your knees together?” and said “pain and sex sometimes go together.”

The verdict was overturned on appeal and a Canadian Judicial Council panel is currently mulling over whether to recommend Camp be removed from the bench.

Flynn suggested the woman made up the rape allegation because she was upset Wagar had sex with another woman at the home after what happened in the bathroom.

Wagar’s brother, Flynn said, was bugging her about that.

“She then went from consensual sex to then saying it was rape,” Flynn said. “When his brother starts trashtalking you — you’re going to get back at him. You’re going to say he raped you.”

The retrial is being heard by a judge without a jury.

Wagar, who took the stand in the afternoon, said he was angry that he was there for a crime that didn’t happen.

“I’ve already done 15 months. I’m pretty … bitter about the whole thing,” he said before being cautioned by his lawyer.

T

he case for an expanded Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is all about providing secure retirement income.

The Fraser Institute recently argued that the federal government has failed to make a convincing case for CPP expansion.

But any perspective depends heavily on trying to determine how much income Canadians need to retire with dignity.

Do we require 50 per cent of final working-life earnings? More? Does spending go up or down when we retire? Can you sell your house and move to a less expensive region?

Since none of these questions have solid, precise answers, the Fraser Institute can claim the feds have not made the case for an expanded CPP. Watching the U.S. presidential debates, I often yell at my TV: “You haven’t answered the question!” I feel the same way about the Fraser Institute’s analysis on CPP. While it’s accurate, it doesn’t shed any light.

So do we really need an expanded CPP? Thankfully, there’s some solid research on whether future Canadian generations can retire with dignity.

A 2015 McKinsey report uses survey results to conclude that 17 per cent of future elderly face a decline in their standard of living in retirement. A 2009 study for the Research Working Group on Retirement Income Adequacy used income tax data and concluded that 22 per cent of future elderly will suffer a significant decline in standard of living.

Two other studies used the Statistics Canada’s LifePaths microsimulation model to simulate future outcomes.

The C.D. Howe Institute in 2010 suggested future elderly will face declines of 44 per cent. And a 2011 study from the Institute for Research on Public Policy showed a 50 per cent decline in standard of living.

Essentially, the best available Canadian data all have the same bottom line: expect a significant decline in standard of living at retirement.

All four studies show that the risk of a declining standard of living in retirement is largely a middle-and-upper-income problem, concentrated among the youngest age groups and those not participating in workplace pension plans. For low-income workers, the combination of Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement will replace more than 100 per cent of their final earnings.

Do these studies prove the need for

expansion of the CPP? Certainly no more than the Fraser Institute made the case against expansion.

What the studies do demonstrate is that a significant proportion of future Canadian retirees will suffer measurable deterioration in their standards of living.

So what should be done?

One answer is to do nothing. We’ve done that for the last several decades and seen the steady erosion of retirement income security systems. Fewer modern workers have workplace pensions. Only 38 per cent of employees participate in a registered pension plan. And Canadians are not filling the void with increased personal savings.

Instead, their debt is ever-increasing.

Many employers have stopped sponsoring defined-benefit pensions, finding them costly. And the financial crisis of 2008-9 showed the frailty of achieving security through defined-contribution plans.

Workers without workplace pensions must manage their investments, creating risk. They can mitigate the risk by hiring an adviser. However, this only shifts the investment risk to an expense risk.

Advice can cost as much as three per cent. If funds earn five per cent and inflation runs close to two per cent, then that worker actually receives no real return.

They must also manage their assets to provide cash flows able to cover unknown life expectancy. They can draw down assets very slowly to guarantee they don’t run out but live at a very low standard. Or they can enjoy a higher standard of living but run out of assets and fall back on taxpayer-funded welfare.

Study after study shows that large defined-benefit plans are more efficient than accumulation accounts managed by individuals, since they can be operated with much lower investment expenses. Further, they need only accumulate enough funds to cover the average life expectancy of all plan participants. The fund can also invest in less liquid (and higher yielding) assets since the average life expectancy is known.

So we can continue to dither or we can act. If we are to act, finding an efficient and effective means of increasing retirement income security would clearly lead us towards a compulsory, large, defined-benefit plan.

That just happens to look a lot like an expanded Canada Pension Plan.

OPINION

Pipeline may be Trudeau’s kryptonite

P

rime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Vancouver on Monday adding what is presumably the next-to-last piece to the puzzle of the approval by the federal cabinet next month of an exChantal panded Trans Mounpipeline.

Hébert tainTrudeau announced a more stringent environmental protection regime for British Columbia’s coast.

With Parliament adjourned for Remembrance week, this is the kind of announcement that could have been dealt with at the ministerial level. Trudeau’s cabinet is fanning out across the country this week to preside over dozens of good-news events.

Having the prime minister front the rollout was meant to draw attention to the fact that his government is meeting one of the B.C. government’s key conditions to support Kinder Morgan’s project. B.C. Premier Christy Clark has made her approval of the pipeline expansion contingent on a “world-leading marine spill response” plan.

The hope is that Clark will find Trudeau has provided her with enough political cover to come onside with the bid to bring more Alberta bitumen to tidewater off the greater

Vancouver area.

In B.C., as in other regions of the country, Trudeau has political capital to spare. The resilience of his popularity places him in the superhero category.

But even the powers of superman are not limitless.

In practice, Trudeau may well be about to reach for a piece of political kryptonite.

That, at least, is the conclusion anyone would come to after reading the just-released 60-page report of the ministerial panel tasked by the federal government to complement the regulatory approval process of the Trans Mountain pipeline.

The three-member panel was not asked to make a recommendation on the way forward. Instead, it delivered a clinical summary of the public opinion landscape in the two provinces directly affected by Kinder Morgan’s pipeline plans. Its findings make for sobering reading.

The report essentially suggests that Trudeau and Clark — if the premier is willing to link arms with the prime minister on this issue leading up to a spring provincial election — are about to walk onto a pipeline minefield.

There is little trace in the panel’s report of the kind of public ambivalence about the Trans Mountain pipeline that is liable to be swayed by a

persuasive popular prime minister willing to walk the extra mile on environmental protection.

What the group predictably did find was an Alberta pro-pipeline consensus that spans that province’s political spectrum matched by a no less significant anti-pipeline consensus in B.C. There was a time, under Stephen Harper, when the Canadian government of the day could look to the United States for some relief from this divisive domestic conundrum. Those days are gone.

This is yet another file that Tuesday’s American presidential election can only complicate.

A Hillary Clinton victory would drive the last nail in the coffin of TransCanada’s Keystone XL project.

That pipeline would link the Alberta oilsands to the refineries of the Gulf of Mexico. U.S. President Barack Obama has vetoed it.

That veto compounded the pressures on the federal government to act as a facilitator for pipelines to get Alberta’s bitumen to tidewater along Canadian routes.

Donald Trump would reverse Obama’s move. But that would be no cause to uncork the champagne. A Trump administration would also turn its back on the Paris agreement on climate change.

Washington’s withdrawal from the

latest international protocol on global warming would upset the already delicate balance Trudeau has been trying to achieve between his environment and his energy agendas. He believes a more proactive approach to climate change will translate into more public goodwill on pipelines.

But the recent federal plan to set a national floor price on carbon was drafted under the assumption that the U.S. would comply with the Paris agreement.

Absent an American commitment to reduce greenhouse gas, Canada’s carbon-pricing policy could put its energy industry at a serious competitive disadvantage.

A Trump victory would signal an unprecedented escalation in the pipeline wars, one that would not be contained to the U.S. and its Republican administration.

If, as expected, Trudeau approves a controversial pipeline in B.C. next month, he will be pitting his government against a host of First Nations communities, the environmental movement and scores of his own election supporters.

Depending on the outcome of Tuesday’s vote, he could also find himself standing shoulder to shoulder with Trump on the pipeline front line.

Kryptonite indeed!

VITAL STATISTICS

Alberta proposes changes to vital statistics

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

E

DMONTON — Alberta is proposing legislation that would allow people who don’t identify as either male or female to put a third gender marker such as an X on government documents.

“With this act, Alberta is leading the country in being an inclusive and welcoming province,” Service Alberta Minister Stephanie McLean said Tuesday after introducing a bill in the legislature.

“We’re preparing to include a third marker on vital records for those who do not identify as male or female.

This makes Alberta the first jurisdiction in Canada to make this change to its vital statistics act.”

McLean said the change will be made after the legislation passes and regulations are designed, but not before the federal government follows through on its promised to do the same for federal documents.

The bill introduces dozens of

amendments in a number of areas.

Legislation would clarify that parents could choose any last name for their child. Parents would also be allowed to easily change a child’s last name to avoid a costly, complex court process.

McLean said parents would be able to make changes to reflect traditional or cultural naming practices “such as putting the family name before the given name as is done among Cambodian, Japanese, Korean and Hungarian communities, to name a few.”

Parents also would be able to register a child’s birth online and parents of a stillborn child would no longer be required to name the child to register the birth.

“We’re reducing the burden on grieving parents of a stillborn child.”

A person would no longer have to provide a reason to legally change a name. Consent requirements to change the legal name of a minor would be simplified.

Chief asking youth for input on northern suicides

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

S

ASKATOON — A chief says it’s about time for indigenous leaders to take charge of the youth suicide crisis in northern Saskatchewan instead of going to funerals.

Ron Michel, grand chief of the Prince Albert Grand Council, says advice from young people on how to stop kids from taking their own lives will be critical.

Michel and Chief Bobby Cameron, of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, have announced a community medicine gathering in Prince Albert for Dec. 5 and 6.

Cameron says his group needs to gather input directly from youth, parents, experts and educators as it deals with the deaths of six young girls since mid-October.

Michel says he knows there are many young people who are role models in their communities.

He hopes they’ll come away from the conference inspired to be sources of support for their peers.

“All of us around here were kids at one time, and you would sooner talk to your friend sometimes,” he said Tuesday at a news conference in Saskatoon.

Michel said he wants to assure young people that their voices will be heard, and their suggestions taken seriously.

“We cannot stand by as leaders … to go to funerals. We have to start doing something.”

Cameron said the gathering is to feature presentations from experts and include a wide-ranging

open forum for youth to bring their concerns and ideas to their leaders.

It’s to be the first of many meetings and indigenous leaders plan to keep the premier and children’s advocate involved.

Cameron suggested a big part of the solution lies with the RCMP shutting down drug sales in the North.

He said if police can stop someone for not using a seatbelt, they should have no issue arresting people selling drugs to youth.

Cameron said he has received word that some of the recent suicides involving girls between 10 and 14 were related to drug use. Four of the girls were from the Lac La Ronge Indian band.

Cameron and Premier Brad Wall are to be in La Ronge on Wednesday.

Wall has said plans are in the works to increase mental-health resources and he’s interested in the idea of a mental-health and addictions centre in the North.

Tammy Cook-Searson, chief of the Lac La Ronge Indian band, said last week that the key to stopping suicides will be letting young people know that people want to help them, their friends or family if they are hurting.

Last month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the suicides in northern Saskatchewan a tragedy and said the federal government is committed to working with indigenous communities to deal with the problem.

Health Canada has said more mental-health workers and other health-care professionals have been sent to communities that have requested them.

INQUEST

No option other than lethal force in police shooting: investigator

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

W

INNIPEG — A Winnipeg police officer had no choice but to shoot an indigenous man whose death is now the subject of an inquest, a retired investigator testified Tuesday.

Former Winnipeg police sergeant Robert Bell told an inquest into Craig McDougall’s death three officers who responded to a report of a disturbance at McDougall’s home on August 2, 2008 were faced with a man brandishing a knife who ignored warnings to drop it.

“Mr. McDougall was ordered several times. He advanced, not heeding the verbal warnings,” said Bell, who was head of the homicide unit at the time.

“There were no options available other than lethal force.”

The shooting occurred at a time of heightened tension between police and Winnipeg’s indigenous community. It followed the 2005 fatal shooting of Matthew Dumas, who had refused orders to drop a screwdriver, and the 2008 death of Michael Langan, who was shocked with a stun gun after refusing to drop a knife.

Inquests into both those deaths found police acted appropriately.

McDougall’s relatives have said the 26-year-old only had a cellphone in his hands and was talking to his girlfriend when he was shot. But police have maintained McDougall was holding a large knife as officers confronted him inside the fenced front yard of his home.

LOCAL DEVELOPMENT

Timberlands Market already 80% leased

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

D

eveloper Ryan Sawatzky is bullish on Red Deer.

Okotoks-based Developments 2 Inc.’s Timberlands Market project just south of the city’s new roundabout at 30th Avenue is 80 per cent leased and new prospects are calling all the time.

“The economy has, obviously, slowed down quite a bit in Red Deer, but our demand for this area has not,” said Sawatzky, during a site tour on Tuesday.

“We still get inquiries every week, we still get lots of new lease opportunities coming our way.

Sawatzky said given the economy, the strength of the market was a “bit of a surprise to us. But it was certainly welcomed.”

Sawatzky said anchor tenant Central Alberta Coop, and national retailers such as Pet Valu, take the long view on the economy.

“They don’t build stores just waiting for the boom times in the economy. They build stores all the time because they know they’re very solid … and they’ll be here when the economy turns around — and it will.”

Co-op’s grocery, liquor and convenience stores and gas bar are expected to be open next spring.

Other nearby businesses will follow suit in short order.

Workers were busy on Tuesday working on the exterior of one of the tenants, Elephant and Castle Pub and Restaurant, which will be showcasing a new look for the chain.

“This is the first new build in Canada with the new brand,” said Sawatzky, who said it will be open next spring.

Building construction is also nearing completion on Motion Fitness, which features 5,000-square-feet of solar panels.

“It’s a very sustainable, green initiative we brought to Timberlands. That will certainly handle a good amount of their electrical requirements for that whole 30,000-square-foot facility.”

A daycare is being built right next to it.

Concrete slabs are ready to poured on another building next door and another site is being aimed at medical-themed businesses.

Other tenants so far are a nutrition store, Papa John’s, Indian take-out, dentists and orthodontist

Developments 2 Inc.’s Ryan Sawatzky said there has been no shortage of interest in its Timberlands Market development near the 30th Avenue roundabout. It is about 80 per cent leased, and will be anchored by a new Central Alberta Co-op grocery store, which is expected to open next spring. offices. A mixed-use building with commercial on the ground floor and 41 suites in three storeys above is also planned.

Developments 2 Inc. was given the chance to develop the site after coming out on top in a request

for proposals issued by the City of Red Deer, which Sawatzky praised.

Co-op general manager Gerald Hiebert said there are no plans to close the 26,000-square-foot store just a few blocks south in Deer Park. Co-op also has a downtown grocery store at 5118 47th Ave. “We’re confident we’re going to be able to keep three stores surviving in the food end of it,” he said. The liquor store and gas bar are also expected to do well in Red Deer’s growing market.

Opposition politicians question the projections.

They say the government increasing the minimum wage and implementing a carbon tax will kill economic progress rather than boost it.

“The fact is the NDP government has brought forward a full slate of policies that have taxed and regulated jobs and businesses out of existence,” said Wildrose Leader Brian Jean.

During question period in the legislature Tuesday, Progressive Conservative Leader Ric McIver dismissed the government jobs forecast. “(These) are mere estimations of jobs they hope will exist at some point in the future, like a unicorn … which is of little comfort to the tens of thousands of currently unemployed Albertans,” said McIver.

Alberta has experienced job growth in each of the last three months of about 25,000 positions.

However, in the last year 47,000 full-time jobs have been lost.

The unemployment rate in Calgary hit 10.2 per cent in October and Edmonton’s stood at 6.9 per cent.

FEDERAL

Panel named to overhaul mandate of National Energy Board

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

O

TTAWA — The Liberal government has named a diverse, five-person panel to make recommendations on overhauling the national energy regulator.

The group appointed Tuesday by Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr will examine the structure, role and mandate of the National Energy Board, which has become embroiled in controversy over its reviews of contested oil pipeline proposals.

The panel is to report to Carr by March 31 — not by the Jan. 1 deadline initially announced by the government back in June when it made public the draft mandate for the NEB review.

The Trudeau government announced last January that it was augmenting the existing oversight process for major energy projects, adding an examination of upstream greenhouse gas emissions and providing further public consultation in addition to the National Energy Board hearings.

But a more fundamental restructuring of the board, which was first created in 1959, was promised by the government pending a wide-ranging public consultation by a panel of experts.

“The panellists have maximum independence and liberty to be creative and I know they will be, by virtue of who they are and their disparate backgrounds,” Carr said in an interview.

“So what we’re saying to them is, ‘Go recommend the best regulator in the world.”’

The panel is co-chaired by Helene Lauzon, president of the Quebec business council on the environment, and former Liberal MP Gary Merasty, a Saskatchewan Cree who is president of Des Nedhe Development.

There are three women and two indigenous persons on the five-member panel, which includes: David Besner, a chemical engineer who is chairman of the New Brunswick Energy Institute Wendy GrantJohn, a three-term chief of Vancouver’s Musqueam who is currently senior aboriginal adviser at Deloitte and Brenda Kenny, the former president of

the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association.

In the meantime, ongoing reviews of existing energy project bids continue amid great public turbulence.

Carr has said a cabinet decision will come by mid-December on the proposed tripling of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby, B.C. The looming decision has spawned protest marches and sit-ins. The city of Vancouver and the Squamish First Nation have both filed legal challenges to the NEB’s conditional approval of the Trans Mountain expansion.

The board’s examination of TransCanada’s proposed Energy East pipeline, meanwhile, was temporarily put on hold this fall after the three panellists hearing the bid stepped down over an appearance of conflict of interest.

Pipeline protesters say the Trans Mountain and Energy East reviews lack legitimacy.

A release from the group Environmental Defence lauded the new panel Tuesday but said it shows why the two pipeline projects should be put on hold until the NEB is modernized.

And Erin Flanagan of the Calgary-based Pembina Institute said “sustainability considerations” must be built into the board’s mandate so that any energy infrastructure approvals clearly fit within Canada’s climate change commitments under the international Paris Agreement.

Carr responded that the additional measures announced last January for the two pipeline reviews help address “a process that many thought was flawed.”

“When it’s time for government to make a decision, Canadians can honestly say they’ve had a chance to express themselves,” Carr said of the interim consultations.

“We also know these are controversial decisions and we will not get unanimity in Canada.

“There are very strongly held views about the pace of development and not everyone is going to say, ‘This is what we wanted.’ But I hope most people will say that it was a reasonable way of going

Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr will examine the structure, role and mandate of the National Energy Board. about making a tough and complex decision.”

An omnibus bill in 2012 under the previous Conservative government legislated that NEB project appraisals take no longer than two years. It also placed environmental assessments under the board’s purview on the rationale of “one project, one review” and it gave cabinet the power to overrule the board if it rejected a project application.

Early this year, a report from the federal commissioner of the environment found that the NEB did not properly follow up with pipeline companies after setting conditions on project approvals or after finding safety violations that needed redress.

In her January report, Julie Gelfand wrote that the NEB “needs to do more to keep pace with the rapidly changing context in which it is operating.”

Pace of housing starts slips in October BIG DROP IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: CMHC

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

O

TTAWA — Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. says the pace of housing starts slowed in most regions of the country in October, with an especially big drop in British Columbia.

The agency says the seasonally adjusted annual rate fell to 192,928 units in October, down from 219,363 units in September.

The drop came as the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts fell 12.1 per cent in October to 176,131 units. Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 16,797 units.

Multiple-unit urban starts dropped 15.3 per cent to 115,402 units for the month, while single-detached urban starts slipped 5.4 per cent to 60,729 units.

CMHC says the pace of urban housing starts

picked up in Ontario last month but there were declines in Quebec, the Prairies, Atlantic Canada as well as British Columbia The annual pace of urban starts in B.C. fell to 25,517 in October compared with 46,294 in September.

Bank of Montreal senior economist Robert Kavcic said British Columbia was the big story.

“We’ll see if this level of activity, particularly in Vancouver where starts fell to the lowest since 2011, holds in the months ahead in response to softening demand conditions,” Kavcic wrote in a note to clients.

The drop in home starts in Vancouver comes as real estate sales in the region have also fallen sharply in recent months.

In August, the B.C. government implemented a 15 per cent tax on foreigners buying homes in Metro Vancouver, while the federal government moved last month to tighten rules for mortgage lenders

EU

Scotland seeks to block Brexit talks without its approval

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

L

ONDON — The Scottish government said Tuesday that it will ask Britain’s Supreme Court to block Prime Minister Theresa May from triggering European Union exit talks without consulting the Scottish Parliament first — another potential blow to May’s hopes of a quickie divorce from the bloc.

The prime minister has said she plans to trigger two years of exit talks by invoking Article 50 of the EU treaty before the end of March.

But last week the High Court complicated that plan, ruling in response to a legal challenge that lawmakers in Britain’s Parliament must first get a vote.

The government is asking the Supreme Court to overturn the judgment. The court said Tuesday that it will hear the case Dec. 5-8.

In a reflection of the constitutional importance of the case — which hinges on the balance of power between Parliament and the executive — all 11 Supreme Court judges will hear the appeal.

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland would also seek to intervene in the legal action, because “the consent of the Scottish

Parliament should be sought before Article 50 is triggered.”

She said Scotland’s top legal official, Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland, would make a formal application to the top court.

Britons voted by 52 to 48 per cent on June 23 to leave the EU, but voters in Scotland strongly backed staying in.

Sturgeon, who heads the pro-independence Scottish National Party, has said she may seek a mandate for independence if Scotland is forced out of the bloc, and its single market of 500 million people.

Sturgeon noted that May has said British people “had voted with, in her words, ‘emphatic clarity’ when they voted by a margin of 4 points to leave the EU. “The margin for ‘remain’ in Scotland was 24 points: a far more emphatic and clear result,” she said.

The British government has told other European leaders that the increasingly complicated legal situation won’t delay its plan to trigger Article 50 by March 31.

But the Supreme Court says it will likely not rule until early 2017, and if the government loses it will have little choice but to allow Parliament to debate the subject.

and foreign buyers in an effort to stabilize hot housing markets such as Toronto and Vancouver.

The national six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rate stood at 199,920 units in October compared with 199,262 in September.

The housing starts data came as Statistics Canada reported municipalities issued $6.9 billion worth of building permits in September, down 7.0 per cent from August.

The decrease was due in large part to a drop in plans for construction for non-residential buildings.

The value of non-residential building permits fell 22.3 per cent to $2.2 billion in September as all three non-residential components — commercial, institutional and industrial — moved lower.

The value of permits in the residential sector gained 2.6 per cent to total $4.6 billion in September, boosted by multi-family dwellings.

Business BRIEFS Cost estimate jumps 20% for oilsands expansion CALGARY — Japan Canada Oil Sands Ltd. is increasing its cost estimate for the Hangingstone oilsands expansion project in Alberta by about 20 per cent.

The project is a joint venture between JACOS, which is owned by a consortium of Japanese companies, and Calgary-based Nexen Inc. (TSX:NXN).

The parent company of JACOS says its portion of the expansion southwest of Fort McMurray is now expected to cost $1.5 billion, up from the previous estimate of $1.25 billion.

Startup of the expansion project remains scheduled for the middle of next year. As of September, it was about 96 per cent complete.

The total cost of the Hangingstone expansion, including Nexen’s share, has been estimated at $1.8 billion.

Nexen hasn’t announced a revision to its cost estimate.

Calgary office vacancy rate headed for 30% as oil price downturn persists CALGARY — Real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield is ranking Calgary with Moscow, Houston, and Aberdeen, Scotland, as the “oil-centric cities” whose downtown office real estate markets have been hardest hit by the global oil price shock.

In a new report, it predicts the

vacancy rate for downtown Calgary’s Class-A buildings — the best quality offices in the tallest buildings — will hit 27.5 per cent by the end of next year, the highest since the company began tracking numbers in 1985.

Canadian research director Stuart Barron said the estimation will likely be revised higher in coming weeks due to slowing demand and the addition over the next year of about 2.7 million square feet in buildings under construction.

“Right now the number is probably closer to 30 per cent that we’re comfortable with. It’s quite extraordinary,” Barron said.

He said the previous high Class-A vacancy rate in the city was 17.3 per cent in 1992.

Real estate firm CBRE recently forecast that Calgary’s overall downtown office vacancy rate would peak at almost 27 per cent in 2018, after rising from 24 per cent this year to nearly 25 per cent in 2017.

Valeant posts US$1.22 billion loss MONTREAL — Valeant Pharmaceuticals is reporting a third-quarter loss of US$1.22 billion, mainly tied to a writedown of Salix — a company acquired last year.

The Montreal-based pharmaceutical company, which reports in U.S. currency, says the net loss was equal to US$3.49 per share, which contrasted to a profit of $49.5 million or 14 cents per share in the third-quarter of 2015.

The third quarter of 2015 marked the beginning of a series of troubles that have driven down the value of Valeant’s stock, which had soared after the Salix acquisition as was announced in February 2015.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — North American stock markets rose modestly Tuesday as investors awaited the results of a U.S. presidential election that had traders around the world watching.

Indices on Wall Street finished in positive territory for a second straight day, with the Dow Jones industrial average advancing by 73.14 points to 18,332.74 following a substantial 371-point gain on Monday.

The broader S&P 500 index moved up 8.04 points to 2,139.56, while the Nasdaq composite climbed 27.32 points at 5,193.49 points.

Wall Street rallied sharply Monday as investors be-

came increasingly more confident that Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton will win the presidency over Republican rival Donald Trump after the FBI announced it found no evidence for criminal charges related to a recent probe into her private email server.

Stock markets view a Clinton victory as an outcome that would be more stable than a Trump win, analysts say.

“A Clinton win doesn’t necessarily represent a boon to the capital markets, but instead, it’s the notion that markets will cheer certainty and sell against uncertainty,” said Craig Fehr, a Canadian markets strategist

at Edward Jones.

“At this point, regardless of your views of Trump, his candidacy and ultimately a win by Trump would represent a much larger policy uncertainty. … That’s why we’re seeing the markets find some comfort in a Clinton win, regardless of what ultimately the policies she might have down the road.”

Expect a drastic drop in the markets if Trump is declared president because that possibility has not been priced in by investors, Fehr said, whereas if Clinton is victorious, the gains are expected to be moderate.

In either scenario, the advances or declines should be short-lived until the mar-

organizing and I thought if I didn’t organize it, they wouldn’t end up going.”

Lorenz, a centrefielder and pitcher, recently returned from Phoenix after competing in his last World Series. This year they competed in both the 65-plus and the 70-plus, which Lorenz organized.

Despite winning championships in the 60-plus division in 2010, 2014 and 2014, in his last season the Legends lost in the semifinals in both divisions they competed in.

The team has also won Canadian 50-plus championships in 2007 and 2011 and the World Series of Amateur Baseball Championship 58-plus in 2006 and the 65-plus in 2008.

“I just kept playing,” said Lorenz. “When you like the game, you just keep going when there are opportunities. You have to have teams to play on.

I’ve been fortunate to live in areas where there’s always opportunities.”

Throughout the year, the Legends play in the Red Deer Senior Men’s Baseball League. They play against much younger teams, as the league is for those aged 30 and up.

Though they lose more than they win the men’s league, Lorenz said it keeps the team in game shape for their big tournament in the fall.

Lorenz said the average age of the team is about 65 with most over the age of 60 and only one player under the age of 50.

In 2013, Lorenz was inducted into the World Series of Amateur Baseball hall of fame and this summer he was inducted into the Canadian Oldtimer’s Baseball Hall of Fame.

“Our generation is the first to play competitive baseball into our senior years,” said Lorenz.

“We’re quite proud of that and we hope the younger generations continue on to do that.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Quick, but not quick enough for Oilers

Penguins 4 Oilers 3 ITTSBURGH — Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers showed they were plenty fast, but Sidney Crosby’s Penguins flashed the closing speed necessary to

P

win.

Thanks, primarily, to another kid named Conor and whole heap of resiliency.

Despite three assists from McDavid in the first head-to-head battle between the NHL superstars, the Penguins again erased a two-goal deficit at home and left PPG Paints Arena with a 4-3 win over the Oilers on Tuesday.

Conor Sheary scored a pair of goals, including

the game-winner at 18:18 of the third period when he whacked a bouncing back past Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot.

The Penguins (9-2-2) extended their unbeaten streak in the series to 12 games, during which they’re 9-0-3.

They avoided their first regulation loss of the season on home ice, stretching their home record this season to 6-0-1 and 35-6-4 over their last 45 games in this building.

Matt Murray gave up three goals early but shut the door and wound up stopping 25 of 28 shots.

Sheary staked the Penguins to an early 1-0 lead following an ill-advised Milan Lucic pass early in the first.

NHL

Doubts linger despite Canadiens’ red-hot start to the season

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

B

ROSSARD, Que. — Even when the Montreal Canadiens are on a winning run, there are critics who feel they should be playing better.

Coach Michel Therrien had a laugh this week when, with his team in first place overall in the NHL after a 10-11 start to the season, he found it necessary to urge fans to relax about iffy performances in a few recent games — one of them a shocking 10-0 loss in Columbus on Friday.

Captain Max Pacioretty knows what Therrien was getting at.

“You can feel it even if you don’t know exactly what is being said,” Pacioretty said Tuesday before a home game against the Boston Bruins.

“We’re doing the best we can right now.

“We know we have to be better, but we’re 10-1-1. We’re not satisfied, but we’re happy with where we’re at. We just want to get better every day as a team.”

Of course, memories of last season’s collapse are still fresh in fans’ minds. In 2015-16, the Canadiens roared out of the gates with a team-record nine-game winning streak. They were 19-4-3 on Dec. 1, but without star goalie Carey Price, who blew out a knee on Nov. 25, they went 1-10-0 in their next 11 games and ended up missing the playoffs.

This season, although Price missed three games with a flu, they are off to another hot start.

But there have been worrying signs of late. Starting with a 2-1 home win over Toronto on Oct. 29, they were badly outshot four games in a row, although thanks mainly to Price they managed to win all but the Columbus blowout, with backup Al Montoya in goal.

They started losing puck battles, committing turnovers and the power play and penalty killing also began to struggle.

Pacioretty feels they are aspects of their game that can be corrected.

“The feeling in the room doesn’t

scores or the advanced stats, it makes you take a step back and realize that we’re in a good spot right now.

“We’re not perfect. We know that.

We have areas to clean up, but if we were playing perfect right now, then what would we have to look forward to? We want to go into practice every day knowing ‘this is what we have to work on, this is what we have to get better at’ and then just work hard at it.”

It is remarkable that the Canadiens have been so strong early on for three straight seasons. They began the 2014-15 campaign 8-2-0.

Even with changes in personnel, like the trade that sent star defenceman P.K. Subban to Nashville for top rearguard Shea Weber or the addition of Russian playmaker Alexander Radulov, the starts are similar.

“We play playoff hockey right from the start,” said Pacioretty. “When you have that mentality you have everybody skating.

“Teams normally are trying to

make plays early in the year and it’s just too tight the way we play. I think play opens up around Game 20 or so and the ice starts to open up a bit and there’s room to make plays. Goals at this time of year are dirty goals.

There’s some luck involved when you’re just throwing pucks at the net and getting bodies there, but it’s also hard work to track those pucks down and cause the turnovers and that’s playoff style hockey.

“That’s what we play from the start.

I think that’s why we’ve had that success early on.”

When asked about the quick starts, Therrien said “it’s a good question but it’s tough to answer.

“I have to give credit to the players. They reported in great shape.

They wanted to make sure they got a good start.”

The Canadiens will be tested this week with four games in six days against Boston, Los Angeles and Detroit at home and Chicago on the road.

Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan protests a call in the first half of an NFL football game against the Seattle Seahawks, Monday, in Seattle.

NFL

Bills coach Rex Ryan unloads on the Seahawks

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

B

UFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Before taking a few days off during the Bills bye week, coach Rex Ryan had a few frustrations to get off his chest regarding the Seahawks, and one of their fans who taunted Buffalo assistant Kathryn Smith.

Ryan rallied to the defense of Smith, who was the target of sexist comments from the stands. And he also took a verbal jab at Seahawks coach Pete Carroll during a telephone conference call with reporters on Tuesday.

Ryan was particularly upset upon learning what happened to Smith, the NFL’s first full-time female assistant during Buffalo’s 31-25 loss on Monday night .

Rochester’s WROC-TV filmed a male fan yelling, “Waitress! Waitress. Can I have a Pepsi, please,” at Smith as she walked along the sideline.

“Well, I think that’s ridiculous,” said Ryan, who promoted Smith to be Buffalo’s special teams quality control coach in January.

“I think that’s really classless,” Ryan said, noting he’s accustomed to being taunted.

“Now look, I get ripped all the time and that’s cool. I’m free game,” he said. “I’ve been called everything known to man, and that’s OK. I’m the opposing head coach. That’s part of the gig.”

The fan was wearing a Seahawks jersey with a No. 1 on it and the words “Our House” printed on the back. The video shows a woman next the fan

slapping the man on his arm when he yelled “Waitress!” a third time.

Ryan also took issue with Carroll.

He responded sarcastically when informed Carroll was unhappy the Bills coach called Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman “an ass.”

On Tuesday morning, Carroll told Seattle’s ESPN-Radio that Ryan should focus on coaching his own team.

Ryan said he does coach his team, and then joked about forgetting to check with Carroll first about what his appropriate response should’ve been regarding Sherman.

Sherman caused several stirs during a thrilling back-and-forth game but marred by officiating errors .

Sherman was penalized for offside when he dived and collided with kicker Dan Carpenter during a field-goal attempt in the final seconds of the first half.

NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino said referee Walt Anderson and his crew made a mistake by noting Sherman should have been penalized for roughing the kicker. The ruling proved costly because an ensuing delay of game penalty against Buffalo eventually led to Carpenter missing a 54-attempt wide right.

Blandino also ruled Anderson’s crew should not have flagged the Bills for delay of game.

In the second half, Sherman made a play near the Bills sidelined and then exchanged words and attempted to stare down Ryan.

“I had some words,” Ryan said following the game. “I think I said that, ‘You’re too good of a player to act like an ass.’”

Otherwise, Ryan was ready to move on.

“Obviously, it’s frustrating,” he said. “But it’s in the past now. It’s behind us.”

The Bills (4-5) have lost three straight and get an extra week to rest up before playing at Cincinnati on Nov. 20.

One player who won’t be available is center Eric Wood, who will miss the rest of the season after breaking his right leg against Seattle.

“That’s really, really a big blow to our football team,” Ryan said, referring to the eighth-year player and team leader.

The Bills will have to lean on either Ryan Groy, who took over for Wood on Monday, or Patrick Lewis, who has yet to play this season. Buffalo claimed Lewis off of waivers after he was cut by Seattle in August.

On the bright side, the Bills top receiving threat, Sammy Watkins , is eligible to begin practicing once the team returns to the field on Monday. Watkins was placed on injured reserve three weeks into the season when he aggravated an injury to his surgically repaired left foot.

Though he can begin practicing next week, Watkins is not eligible to be activated until after Buffalo plays Cincinnati.

Ryan said he’s hopeful Watkins will be able to play, but said the player has not yet been cleared by the medical staff.

CANUCKS FINALLY SNAP NINE-GAME LOSING STREAK

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Canucks 5, Rangers 3.

EW YORK (AP) — Alexandre Burrows scored twice in the third period to help the Vancouver Canucks end a nine-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.

Henrik Sedin and Sven Baertschi each had a goal and an assist, and Loui Eriksson also scored for the Canucks, who were 0-8-1 with eight straight regulation losses since opening the season with four wins.

Bo Horvat had two assists and Jacob Markstrom finished with 23 saves.

Rick Nash, Pavel Buchnevich and Mika Zibanejad scored for the Rangers, who had won five straight while scoring at least five goals in each game. Buchnevich also had two assists.

Antti Raanta stopped 20 shots, though he left for 6:19 in the third period after being run into by the Canucks’ Markus Granlund. Regular starter Henrik Lundqvist made four saves on six shots while filling in.

Burrows took advantage of a loose puck to give the Canucks a 3-2 lead at 9:21 of the third. Lundqvist made a sprawling save on a shot in close by Horvat, but the puck stayed out at the right side as several players jabbed at it before Burrows knocked it in for his first of the season.

Baertschi put Vancouver ahead by two as he tipped in a centering pass

by Jack Skille for his first of the season with 6:52 left. Burrows added an empty-netter with 3:06 remaining to make it 5-2, and Zibanejad scored for

N

the Rangers with 59 seconds to go to cap the scoring.

Sedin put the Canucks ahead 2-1 at 2:29 of the third when he brought the puck into the right faceoff circle and fired a slap shot past Raanta for his fifth goal. It came just 8 seconds after Sedin came out of the penalty box following a high-sticking infraction.

Nash tied it at 5:27 with his 400th career goal. With the Rangers on a power play, Buchnevich sent a pass from the right faceoff circle to Nash at the left side of the net and the veteran left wing tipped it into the open net.

Buchnevich got the Rangers on the board at 7:20 with his third of the season, scoring for the third straight game. Jesper Fast brought the puck up the right side and sent a pass in front to a streaking Buchnevich, who snapped a shot that Markstrom got a piece of, but the puck got past him and trickled over the goal line.

Brady Skjei got an assist on the play, giving him one for the sixth straight game.

Raanta denied Brendan Gaunce’s wraparound with about 9 minutes left and then stopped Burrows’ backhand 45 seconds later. Eriksson also hit a post after that.

The Canucks tied it with 4:42 left in the second on Eriksson’s first with the Canucks after signing with them in the offseason. Daniel Sedin came around the left side of the net, sent a centering pass to Eriksson in front and the winger skated across the front and backhanded the puck over the legs of a sprawled Ranta. Henrik Sedin also had an assist.

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom makes a save on a shot by New York Rangers’ Derek Stepan (21) with help from Canucks’ Luca Sbisa, left, during the second period of an NHL hockey game Tuesday, at Madison Square Garden in New York.

STORY FROM PAGE 17

OILERS: Eberle, McDavid rush scores Bryan Rust picked off Lucic’s pass and zipped the puck up to Sheary, who blasted a slapper from above the left circle at 1:57.

The goal, from 32 feet, was Sheary’s second this season.

He now has one goal and three points in two games since returning from a seven-game absence because of an eye injury.

Rust transition to Sheary was quick and so was the flip from offense to defense on Edmonton’s first goal. Patrick Maroon started the rush after Kris Letang pinched with a pass to McDavid.

McDavid and Jordan Eberle embarked on a two-on-one rush with Brian Dumoulin the lone defenseman back and Patric Hornqvist trailing. McDavid, with speed, slid a pass to Eberle, who ripped a shot over Murray’s catching glove from 17 feet to tie it at 1 at 14:23 of the first.

The impressive playmaking from

McDavid continued when he set up Maroon’s goal at 17:18. McDavid picked a puck from Carl Hagelin on the backcheck, got it back and skated with speed down the right wing, dishing a no-look, backhand pass to Maroon for an easy finish.

That line tormented the Penguins again early in the second to build a 3-1 lead. After Talbot stopped Hornqvist to thwart a three-on-one for the Penguins, the Oilers went the other way with the speedy McDavid again leading the rush. Dumoulin, on the ice for the first two Oilers goals and having to deal with McDavid, overplayed Edmonton’s captain and left Eberle alone. Eberle pulled a backhander around Matt Murray.

Hagelin brought the Penguins back at 3-2 following a fortuitous bounce at 12:08. Trevor Daley passed toward Patric Hornqvist, the puck glanced off one of Hornqvist’s skates and went right to Hagelin, who finished for his second of the season.

Evgeni Malkin brought the Penguins back even, 3-3, with his seventh goal of the season at 5:33 of the third period. Phil Kessel started the sequence from a shot from the right circle. It hit a skate and Malkin stuck his stick out to knock it past Talbot, a one-handed redirect.

ANDERSEN PULLED AS KINGS ROUT THE MAPLE LEAFS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Kings 7 Leafs 0 ORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs’ three-game winning streak ended with a thud on Tuesday night.

Jeff Carter scored a pair of goals and Peter Budaj made 19 saves as the Los Angeles Kings trounced the Leafs 7-0 at the Air Canada Centre. Los Angeles busted out four goals in the second period, putting an end to Frederik Andersen’s night.

Andersen gave up four goals on 26 shots and was pulled for the first time in a Leafs uniform. Jhonas Enroth stepped in to make 14 saves in relief.

Dustin Brown, Tanner Pearson, Tyler Toffoli, Kyle Clifford and Dwight King also scored for the Kings, who have now won three in a row. It’s the second win streak of at least three games for Los Angeles this season.

Riding high after three wins in a row of their own, the Leafs got schooled by their more veteran opponent from puck-drop.

The Kings had the bulk of chances in the first, scoring 14 minutes into the period on Brown’s second this year.

Third line centre Nic Dowd did most of the dirty work, controlling the puck down low in Toronto’s zone before

T

finding Brown atop the left face-off circle.

His shot through a maze of moving bodies beat Andersen, who entered the evening with a .944 save percentage in his previous five starts. The Leafs had a chance to get the puck out initially but Martin Marincin’s exit feed never quite reaching Ben Smith along the wall.

The league leader in shots pergame (34.5) heading into play, Toronto was held to just five shots (matching a season-low) in the first frame. The NHL’s best shot suppression outfit, the Kings have given up less than 30 shots in 11 consecutive games. Overall shot attempts after 20 minutes, tellingly, were 30-8 favouring the visitors.

“They’re a big, heavy team they don’t turn pucks over, they play right,” Leafs coach Mike Babcock said of the Kings on Tuesday morning.

The Leafs came up with a couple decent chances early in the second.

James van Riemsdyk was stopped by Budaj’s blocker while efforts from the all-rookie line of Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Zach Hyman were also shut down.

Matthews, who had 10 points in his first six NHL games, has only one point in his last seven.

Following that initial push from

the Leafs, the Kings sprung for a pair in less than two minutes, one from Pearson and another from Toffoli.

After the Leafs failed to come up with a puck in the neutral zone, Anze Kopitar scooped it up and found Pearson, who easily beat Andersen.

Almost two minutes later, Toffoli finished off an odd-man rush for the 3-0 lead.

At that point, about five minutes into the period, the Kings had nearly as many goals (three) as the Leafs had shots (six).

Carter added two more goals for the Kings less than five minutes apart a short while later. The first again saw the visitors march easily into the Toronto zone, Carter’s shot and goal ending Andersen’s night.

Carter banked his second marker of the game and fifth this season off Enroth from behind the Leafs goal.

He faced little resistance.

Toronto, at the other end, generated very little in the way of sustained offence, a rarity for a team that was averaging more than three goals pergame. Babcock shuffled his lines constantly hoping to find a spark, most notably pairing Matthews with fellow rookie Mitch Marner. Nylander, meanwhile, was dropped to a fourth line with Matt Martin and Smith.

The Kings added third period goals

by Clifford and Lewis. Derek Forbort had a career-high three assists.

The Leafs were outshot 43-19 overall.

Canadiens edge Bruins

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Canadiens 3 Bruins 2 ONTREAL — Paul Byron scored with 1:02 left in regulation time to snap a tie and lift the Montreal Canadiens to a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night.

Byron poked in a loose puck from a scramble after Alexander Radulov passed it into the crease. The goal stood up to video review.

Shea Weber and Alex Galchenyuk also scored for Montreal (11-1-1), which posted a second straight win since a 10-0 defeat in Columbus on Friday night.

Colin Miller and David Pastrnak scored for the Bruins, who still had legs in the third period despite playing a second game in as many nights after their 4-0 victory Monday night over Buffalo.

Boston outshot Montreal 43-23.

The Canadiens received a pep talk from visiting golf great Jack Nicklaus in their dressing room before the game, but while it may have inspired a win, it didn’t keep them from being outshot for a fifth straight game, allowing 40 or more in three of them.

Boston had a 14-5 edge in the first period and kept up the pressure in

M

the second, but it was Weber who got the first goal on rookie Zane McIntyre on a power play 3:58 into the second period. That started a run of three goals in a span of 70 seconds.

Andrei Markov slipped the puck to Weber on the left point for a blast inside the post for his fifth goal of the second and fourth with the man advantage.

Miller got his first of the season at 4:48 when his shot went off the end boards, off Carey Price’s stick and in the net.

Only 20 seconds later, Byron launched a Montreal counterattack and Radulov flipped a pass that Galchenyuk controlled for a backhanded goal, his fifth of the campaign.

Boston tied it 2-2 with one second left in a power play at 6:38 of the third when Pastrnak took a feed from John-Michael Liles and drilled a shot to the top corner from the left circle.

It was the seventh power-play goal allowed by Montreal in its last three games.

Both teams are in the midst of busy weeks. The Bruins string of five games in seven days concludes with games against Columbus, Arizona and Colorado.

Montreal began a run of four games in six nights that sees them play host to Los Angeles on Thursday.

American golfers ‘out-motivated, out-focused, out-driven’

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I

t was only two years ago that Stacy Lewis won the LPGA Tour player of the year and captured the money title.

That same year, Lexi Thompson won the Kraft Nabisco at age 19, and Michelle Wie finally broke through with her first major at the U.S. Women’s Open at Pinehurst No. 2.

This year, only two Americans have won tournaments — Thompson in Thailand, and Brittany Lang in the U.S. Women’s Open. With two tournaments left on the schedule, no Americans will be in the running for the $1 million bonus as part of the Race to the CME Globe.

Lang is the only American in the top 10 on the money list, although 65 percent of her earnings ($810,000) came from the Women’s Open.

“The Americans are out-motivated, out-focused and out-driven, and it’s showing up,” said Dottie Pepper, a 17-time winner on the LPGA and now a television analyst. “Nobody wants to hear that. But all you have to do is look at the results.”

What surprises Pepper the most is that the United States won the International Crown this summer, a team event against powerful golfing nations from Asia that are not eligible for the Solheim Cup. England was the only European team in the International Crown.

As for the Solheim Cup? The Americans rallied to beat Europe last September.

“The momentum didn’t transfer to individual golf, the same way it didn’t coming out of the Solheim Cup,” Pepper said.

Also concerned is Juli Inkster, who

Europeans have won only twice this year, Caroline Masson of Germany and Carlota Ciganda of Spain, while only two Europeans — Anna Nordqvist and Ciganda — are among the top 20 on the money list.

“It’s always great, especially in the U.S., when we have Americans winning,” Inkster said. “In the overall concept of the LPGA Tour worldwide, I’m not sure it does matter. But for our TV ratings and fan base over these last six tournaments, it killed it.”

The LPGA Tour is coming off a sixweek swing through Asia in which Americans finished in the top five in only two tournaments — Alison Lee lost in a playoff in South Korea, and Jessica Korda was runner-up in China.

GO TEAM: The PGA Tour is bringing a team event back to the official schedule next year for the first time since 1981 at Disney.

The policy board has approved making the Zurich Classic a two-man team competition starting next year, according to two officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because an announcement is not expected until next week.

Still to be determined is how to assign world ranking points in a team competition, and how to dole out FedEx Cup points. The prize money is likely to be shared.

The last official team event was won by Vance Heafner and Mike Holland in the Walt Disney World National Team Championship. Other team events include the World Cup and Franklin Templeton Shootout, though they are not official PGA Tour tournaments.

DJ TO MIDDLE EAST: U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson is the latest

American to head to the Middle East for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

Johnson was confirmed for the European Tour event on Jan. 19-22, which is opposite the CareerBuilder Challenge in the California desert, and means he likely will skip Torrey Pines the following week. Rickie Fowler also returns as defending champion.

Over the last seven years, Abu Dhabi has attracted Tiger Woods (twice), Phil Mickelson (twice) Fowler, Jason Dufner and Anthony Kim. Next year’s field is one of its strongest with Johnson, Fowler, Rory McIlroy, British Open champion Henrik Stenson and Masters champion Danny Willett.

LOW BALL: Rod Pampling became the ninth player to open a PGA Tour event at 60 or better, but only the fourth player who went on to win.

Mike Souchak opened with a 60 in the 1955 Texas Open and sailed to a seven-shot victory.

Phil Mickelson shot 60 in the first round at Phoenix and won by four over Brandt Snedeker. The other player to open with 60 and win was Steve Stricker in the 2010 John Deere Classic — and Stricker wasn’t even leading after the first round. Paul Goydos shot 59 that day and was runner-up by two shots to Stricker.

Pampling shot 60 in Las Vegas, but he had only a two-shot lead over Brooks Koepka, which turned out to be the margin of victory.

this season in Jets rout of Stars

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Jets 8 Stars 2 INNIPEG — Patrik Laine took over the NHL lead in goals with the second hat trick of his rookie season Tuesday night and Mark Scheifele is now the league’s points leader after the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Dallas Stars 8-2.

Laine, who also had an assist, now has 11 goals and 15 points.

Scheifele had a four-point outing with two goals and two assists, propelling him to 18 points, one more than Edmonton’s Connor McDavid and Chicago’s Artem Anisimov.

Marko Dano, Andrew Copp and Adam Lowry also scored for Winnipeg (6-7-1) while Nikolaj Ehlers, Nic Petan and Tyler Myers each had two assists. Copp also added a helper.

Patrick Eaves and Tyler Seguin scored for Dallas (4-6-3).

Connor Hellebuyck made 28 saves in his third straight start for Winnipeg. Dallas netminder Kari Lehtonen was replaced by Antti Niemi after Laine’s third goal. He had let in four goals on 11 shots. Neimi finished with 16 saves.

Winnipeg’s second shot on net was Scheifele’s eighth goal of the season at 3:06.

Laine then deflected defenceman Ben Chiarot’s point shot for his first goal of the night at 8:46 of the opening period.

Dallas outshot Winnipeg 14-5 in the first

and were on the power play heading into the second period after Scheifele was called for tripping.

Eaves used the man advantage to score his third goal of the season when he redirected a Devin Shore shot past Hellebuyck at 1:30 to make it 2-1.

Winnipeg responded with four straight goals in the second.

With nine seconds left in a Seguin penalty for hooking, Laine scored his fifth power-play goal of the season by digging out his own rebound in front of Lehtonen at 6:51.

Laine made it 4-1 just over three minutes later with his third goal at 10:07. The 18-yearold Finn recorded his first hat trick on Oct. 19 with the game-winner in overtime against Toronto.

After hats were cleaned off the ice, Scheifele and Dano each scored on the power play for a 6-1 lead heading into the third. It was only the third time this season the Jets have held a lead going into the third.

Seguin scored an unassisted goal at 2:32 to give him seven on the season.

Copp’s first of the season was a short-handed goal at 13:49 and Lowry finished off the scoring with 1:44 left in the game.

The Jets head out on the road for back-toback games against Arizona on Thursday and Colorado Friday. The Stars travel to Calgary for a game on Thursday.

Notes: Newly re-signed Jets defenceman Jacob Trouba skated with the Jets Tuesday morning, but didn’t play.

Red Wings 3 Flyers 2 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings ended a couple lengthy skids Tuesday night.

One was nearly 20 years old. That’s not the one that mattered to coach Jeff Blashill, though.

Andreas Athanasiou tied it midway through the third period and had the only score in the shootout, helping the Red Wings snap a five-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Tomas Tatar also scored for Detroit, which ended a 12game regular season losing streak in Philadelphia dating to Jan. 25, 1997. The Red Wings did win the first two games of the 1997 Stanley Cup Final in Philadelphia on their way to a four-game sweep.

“I’d focus more on this year,” Blashill said. “The other one has not a whole lot to do with this team.”

The Red Wings had lost three contests during their skid by one goal.

“I thought we played well at times in those five games, but we weren’t getting re-

sults,” Blashill said. “You play good, you have to find a way to get results. And we found a way tonight.”

Sean Couturier and Claude Giroux scored and Jakub Voracek had a pair of assists for the Flyers.

In the shootout, all three Philadelphia skaters — Travis Konecny, Giroux and Voracek — missed.

“It’s a valuable point (lost),” Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said.

After Gustav Nyquist and Frans Nielsen misfired for Detroit, Athanasiou beat Steve Mason on the backhand. Athanasiou pumped his fist along the side boards as his teammates came out to congratulate him.

“It’s definitely a good feeling to end the losing slump and get back on the right track,” Athanasiou said. “You can see the spirits are already high.”

Notes: Red Wings D Tyler Bertuzzi made his NHL debut in place of Thomas Vanek, who missed his seventh game with a lower body injury. Vanek is on longterm IR and is out until at least Nov. 20.

Betty Ann Lavallee, former head of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples and a fourth-generation military veteran, said she would be thinking Tuesday of those who fought and died in uniform, but also the many aboriginal veterans who fell through the cracks when they returned from Europe and Korea.

TTAWA — Indigenous people across Canada remembered ancestors and community members who fought and died in times of war as they marked National Aboriginal Veterans Day on Tuesday.

It is estimated that more than 12,000 aboriginal people joined the Canadian military during the First and Second World Wars and Korea.

More than 500 were killed and countless more were injured.

Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr told The Canadian Press more indigenous people served in those three conflicts than any other ethnic group in Canada, as a percentage of their total population.

“From the beginning of our country, our First Nations people have fought bravely and boldly and sacrificed a great deal for this nation,” he said in an interview.

“Everything from Vimy Ridge through Juno Beach through our peacekeeping missions and today in our armed forces, they signed up, served and continue to serve and do our nation proud every day.”

There are currently more than 2,500 aboriginal people serving in the Canadian military, representing 2.7 per cent of the roughly 95,000 full- and part-time service members.

That is almost double the representation from 10 years ago, though still short of the target of 3.5 per cent.

National Aboriginal Veterans Day has been growing in size and scope since it was inaugurated by Winni-

The 57-year-old had argued she suffered psychological injury as a result of coming “face to face” with Rafferty’s horrific crimes and was seeking compensation as a victim of crime.

But a settlement was reached in the case late Monday, her lawyers said.

“There has been a satisfactory resolution of the issues in the appeal,” said Barbara Legate, one of the lawyers representing the woman.

“The Ministry of the Attorney General has agreed to provide her with some financial assistance towards the expenses she has borne in obtaining treatment following the trial.”

The development in the case came after Ontario Attorney General Yasir Naqvi announced on Monday that

by January next year, the provincial government would be offering free counselling to all jurors who need it.

AMPBELLTON, N.B. — After more than a week of testimony, the trial of a man whose African rock python escaped and killed two young New Brunswick boys came down to one question: Did his decision not to cap a ventilation pipe constitute a crime?

Both the Crown and defence presented their closing arguments Tuesday in the Court of Queen’s Bench in Campbellton.

The defence said Jean-Claude Savoie didn’t cover a ventilation pipe above his python’s enclosure not because he was careless or reckless, but because he simply didn’t believe the snake could possibly fit through it.

Savoie pleaded not guilty to criminal negligence causing death after the python escaped an enclosure in his Campbellton apartment and killed four-year-old Noah Barthe and his six-year-old brother Connor in August 2013.

The python travelled through a ventilation duct and dropped into the living room where the boys slept.

Savoie’s own son, sleeping in another room, was unharmed.

A number of witnesses have said it was common to see the cover of the vent on the enclosure’s floor.

Defence lawyer Leslie Matchim said Tuesday the snake did try to escape about a month or so before the boys were killed, but got stuck partway through the pipe, convincing Savoie and others that it could not escape that way.

“They were wrong, but not from a lack of caring,” he said.

Matchim said Savoie didn’t go out and buy the snake. The Canadian Wildlife Service asked him to take it after the snake was seized in Saint John, and Savoie was never given any money to care for the snake in the subsequent 11 years.

Savoie lived in the apartment with his three-year-old son.

The boys had spent Aug. 4, 2013, petting animals and playing at a farm owned by Savoie’s father before a sleepover in Savoie’s apartment.

Matchim said the trip to the farm with the children showed Savoie was a good father and guardian and was not cavalier with their safety.

Matchim said the issue here is foreseeability.

“Does omission constitute criminal negligence?” he said.

He said Savoie didn’t cover the ventilation pipe because he didn’t think there was any chance the snake could exit through the ventilation pipe.

Liberals win Yukon election

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

HITEHORSE — There’ll be many new faces in the Yukon legislature after the Liberals swept to power in Monday’s election.

Liberal Leader Sandy Silver will go from being the lone elected member of his party to becoming the territory’s premier.

Sandy Unofficial results Silver from Elections Yukon show the Liberals won 11 of the territory’s 19 seats Monday, with about 39 per cent of the popular vote.

They will replace a number of incumbents, including former premier and Yukon Party Leader Darrell Pasloski, who came third in his Mountainview riding.

The Yukon Party, which has governed the territory for 14 years, won six seats and about 33 per cent of the popular vote. The party won 12 ridings in 2011.

The NDP held on to two seats, down from six, and garnered about 26 per cent of the popular vote.

Speaking to supporters after the votes had been tallied, the premier elect said the new members of the assembly are ready to serve.

“We are ready to hit the ground running,” said Silver.

Lab employee may have been exposed to Ebola

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

W

INNIPEG — An employee at the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease may have been exposed to the Ebola virus.

Dr. John Copps says the employee was working with six infected pigs Monday and noticed a split in the seam of his protective suit during decontamination after working in the Level 4 lab in Winnipeg.

The lab director said all proper emergency procedures were followed and the risk to the employee, co-workers and the community is considered to be low.

“Our employees are well aware of the risks and how to control them,” Copps said Tuesday.

He said it’s standard procedure to check the full-body suits at least once a week. He would not speculate on how the seam split.

“The employee had worked in the suit previously and the suit was checked rigorously and it was a new suit.”

Officials said there was no contact with other workers before the employee realized the risk of possible infection.

The employee met with a doctor and was offered an experimental Ebola vaccine. Officials, citing privacy, wouldn’t say whether he received the vaccine.

The employee is in isolation and will be monitored for 21 days by local health officials.

The National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. An employee at the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease in Winnipeg may have been exposed to the Ebola virus.

The national lab works in the prevention, detection, control and reporting of foreign animal diseases and emerging diseases. Its research includes work on avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease and classical swine fever.

Copps said that in this case a pig had been given a drug called interferon and then infected with Ebola to see if the drug would affect the outcome of the disease.

All the pigs had been anesthetized and were being moved by the employ-

ee at the time, he said.

“As we all know, Ebola virus is an important disease and as such, we’re trying to find pre-treatments to establish disease prevention in people.”

In July 2015, a study reported in the medical journal The Lancet said the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg had developed a vaccine protecting 100 per cent of the people who received it against the Ebola virus.

Ebola has killed more than 11,300 people, mostly in West Africa.

P.E.I. electoral reform plebiscite gives hope, angst

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

O

TTAWA — The outcome of a Prince Edward Island plebiscite on electoral reform is giving hope to those who are pushing Canada to adopt a proportional voting system.

But the fact that so few Islanders bothered to vote is simultaneously underscoring the dilemma facing the Trudeau government: is there sufficient interest in electoral reform to justify proceeding at the federal level?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef have both repeatedly said they won’t go ahead without a broad consensus on an alternative to

the current first-past-the-post voting system.

Just 36 per cent of P.E.I.’s eligible voters cast ballots in the non-binding provincial plebiscite of those, 52 per cent voted for a mixed member proportional (MMP) system, while 42.8 per cent supported sticking with the status quo — a result only arrived at after four rounds of voting on a ranked ballot that offered Islanders five different options.

In other words, just over 18 per cent of eligible voters ultimately opted for MMP. Premier Wade MacLauchlan said Tuesday that the low turnout in a province that boasts the most engaged voters in the country — more than 80 per cent typically vote in elections — means the result can’t be considered

a clear expression of the will of Islanders.

A spokesman for Monsef declined to offer her opinion on the turnout.

But federal officials privately seemed doubtful that a similarly low level of interest nationally would be sufficient to warrant proceeding with something as significant as changing the way Canadians elect their federal government.

But for the NDP and Green party, the P.E.I. result is historic and a big boost to the push for proportional representation nationally, just as members of an all-party committee are poised to try to find a consensus on what voting system should replace FPTP in federal elections. The committee, which is to report by Dec. 1, is scheduled to go behind closed

doors Monday for all-day negotiations. “(Islanders) made some history, there’s no other way around that piece, turnout or not,” said NDP democratic reform critic and committee member Nathan Cullen.

“The place that birthed Canada, the place where we figured out Canada, is the first place that, I would argue, has figured out the next steps for Canadian democracy.”

Similarly, Green party Leader Elizabeth May called the result “encouraging.”

Both Cullen and May acknowledged that turnout in a national referendum on electoral reform would likely be similar to that in P.E.I.’s plebiscite.

But an apparent lack of interest shouldn’t be an excuse to do nothing, they said.

Overcoming a genetic predisposition to Type 2 diabetes can be done

I

f your parents both have red hair, it’s inevitable that you’ll have red hair too. But if your folks developed Type 2 diabetes, does that mean you can’t esDrs. cape developing Type Roizen 2? Absolutely not!

Type 2 diabetes can & Oz be avoided or even reversed. If you have a genetic predisposition for Type 2 (that’s around 70 per cent of people in North America; maybe 80 per cent in the world) and there’s a history of diabetes on both sides of your family, you’re not doomed to develop it.

You can turn off genes that trigger Type 2 diabetes by making smart lifestyle choices. For instance, increasing physical activity decreases insulin resistance; dodging processed carbs lowers blood sugar; and managing chronic stress responses helps reduce body wide inflammation. So don’t despair if you have a family history; instead, see it as a red-flag warning that the time to start flipping off those genes is now!

Turn Off Your Type 2 Disposition Scientists in Great Britain believe that they’ve found a gene, called TNFR5, which when overexpressed seems to damage insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. And that gene becomes overexpressed when it’s exposed to excess glucose and bad fatty acids. But the researchers found that if you prevent that overexpression, beta cells thrive!

Your best steps? You can help inhibit the expression of that gene by not exposing it to excess blood glucose levels (ditch those processed carbs and added sugars and syrups) and lousy fatty acids that come from saturated fats in meats and whole dairy.

Your Reward You’ll be surprised at how quickly you are rewarded for your efforts to upgrade your lifestyle. Genes that predispose you to Type 2 diabetes are particularly happy to turn off! Seems they sense when you’re trying to upgrade your lifestyle habits and they turn off even before you’ve lost much weight! That may be why some folks who get bariatric surgery see blood

sugar levels return to normal even before they leave the hospital! The genes can tell you’re on your way to better health. And it’s worth noting that other studies have shown that six years following bariatric surgery, 62 per cent of the people who had Type 2 showed no signs of diabetes.

Other Cases If you’ve developed Type 2 diabetes, don’t give up! At Dr. Mike’s Cleveland Clinic Wellness Institute, a program of managed intensive treatment sets a goal (for people who present at the clinic) of totally reversing Type 2 diabetes and living full time with an A1C of 5 to 5.8 per cent. Sixty per cent of folks achieve that!

Also, sometimes many family members have Type 2 diabetes but genetics is not the cause — or the only cause. Shared environmental risk factors, such as a sedentary lifestyle, poor nutritional habits, inadequate stress management, depression, etc., can foster the condition. But no matter who you are or what your family history is, if you think you can’t avoid diabetes, think again. Talk to your doctor and make a plan. Here’s your starter kit: 1. Avoid the Five Food Felons like

the plague: all added sugars and sugar syrups (like high fructose corn syrup), all trans and most saturated fats, and any grain that isn’t 100 per cent whole.

2. Plan on walking 10,000 steps a day or the equivalent (Google “step counter conversions Vermont” for a chart that lets you figure out equivalents).

3. Adopt a stress-management program (mindful meditation), and practice it twice a day.

4. If you already have diabetes or prediabetes, there are armies of folks out there to help you. Diabetes educators are a tremendous resource; they can help you create a personalized exercise and diet program. And intensive programs, similar to Dr. Mike’s, are in hospitals and even Y’s across the country. Many are reimbursed by health insurers.

So remember, express your desire to dodge Type 2 diabetes, and you can keep those genes from expressing theirs!

Insulin had key role in history of patents

BY CAROLYN Y. JOHNSON ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

T

oday, universities aren’t shy about making money off their research. It’s become a point of pride that ivory tower ingenuity can lead to important - and valuable - real-world technologies, drugs or spinoff companies.

In March, for example, the University of California at Los Angeles sent out a news release announcing that it had sold its royalty interest in Xtandi, an expensive prostate-cancer medication, to a company for $1.14 billion.

More than 6,300 U.S. patents related to university research were issued in 2014, according to the Association of University Technology Managers, resulting in 965 new products and $28 billion in net product sales.

That wasn’t always the case; at one time, the line between academia and industry was more sharply drawn.

The shift is evident in the history of insulin. In the 1920s, the researchers who discovered insulin saw providing their patent to a university as a way to defend their discovery from being commercially exploited by a single company, according to historian Michael Bliss’s book, “The Discovery of Insulin.” Insulin represented a piv-

otal moment in modern medicine, but according to Bliss, it was also a formative test case for a new kind of relationship between universities and drug companies. The University of Toronto held the patent for insulin in 1923 and licensed it to companies worldwide, preventing a single company from developing a profitable monopoly - a key aim of those who discovered the hormone, which is essential for people with Type 1 diabetes to live. But at least one member of the team made an impassioned case that it wasn’t just companies’ profits that had to be watched - the royalties the university was earning, he argued, were far too steep.

“It has come to be universally recognized over all the civilized world that the University has performed a great service for humanity,” the Scottish biochemist John Macleod, who shared the Nobel Prize for insulin, said in 1924. In a statement to Toronto’s Insulin Committee, he praised the university but expressed concern about its 5 percent royalty on insulin.

The university, he learned, had already amassed $10,000.

“The collection of royalties has always seemed to me to be the only part of the work of the Insulin Committee that might be open to unfavorable criticism,” Macleod said, urging

He asked Toronto’s Insulin Committee, which administered the patent, to reduce the royalty immediately.

“The present royalty would in most cases be considered sufficient even for an inventor wishing to exploit a

discovery for his own personal profit,” Macleod wrote. “It is, for example, as large as that usually allowed to authors of scientific textbooks.”

What Macleod’s argument highlights is a stark cultural change in how medical discoveries are seen and how uneasy researchers and universities felt about making profits on medicines.

Anxiety, stress on Remembrance Day for many soldiers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — After returning from Rwanda, retired lieutenant-general Romeo Dallaire avoided Remembrance Day “like the plague.”

The prospect of donning his uniform for a public ceremony, or even watching a televised parade, was too much after witnessing countless atrocities during that failed peacekeeping mission.

“I had lost soldiers under my command, I had seen soldiers grievously injured under my command, I had seen soldiers lose their mind under my command. And I avoided that day like the plague. At best — at best — I might watch it on TV,” says Dallaire, who was dismissed from service after that mission because of resulting depression, anger and suicidal thoughts.

“One year, the CBC in French had me do a play-by-play and I said, ‘I’ll never do that again.’ It was just so tormenting.”

For most Canadians, Remembrance Day is a time for gratitude, reflection and expressions of national pride. But for many soldiers and veterans scarred by trauma, it’s a time of anxiety, stress and unwelcome triggers.

Those experienced with treating

mental health issues stemming from military service say they often see these anxieties in those who have not adjusted well to life after a tour of duty.

Their ability to handle Nov. 11 generally corresponds to the experiences they had with the military, how much support they receive from friends and family, and what, if any, treatment they are offered upon return.

Dr. Ruth Lanius notes the day can be especially difficult for those battling post-traumatic stress disorder, a condition marked by recurrent memories of a stressful event, nightmares, and severe emotional distress or physical reactions to any reminders of wartime trauma.

Even though well-meaning citizens organize these events to recognize sacrifice and offer gratitude, a damaged soldier might find the hoopla only increases their survivor’s guilt, or highlights their perceived failures.

“I’ve seen veterans who it’s taken years for them to be able to attend a Remembrance Day ceremony because it triggers them so much and it brings back their own memories,” says Lanius, speaking from London, Ont. How to handle that stress varies from person to person, she adds.

for him, I think it really also led him to experience a sense of mastery for having been able to attend after such a long period of time.”

Dallaire recalls how his own soldier father, who commanded an infantry regiment in the Second World War, would grudgingly participate in the Remembrance Day parade.

“And he hated it. Because if there’s a time when those that you saw suffer, those that you saw die or injured come back to life in a haunting way, it is that day, during those ceremonies,” said Dallaire.

While it might be important for some service members to work through that anxiety and learn to embrace Remembrance Day, that might be too overwhelming for others.

“In some cases it can also be experienced as a tremendous relief because it makes them feel closer to some of their buddies that they’ve lost in war,” she says.

ngela Chen, writing on the Verge, wants you to join her Nutella campaign.

She’s talking about that spread made from hazelnuts, sugar, palm oil, cocoa and other ingredients.

The Food and Drug Administration considers Nutella a dessert topping, as Chen points out, but its manufacturer wants the FDA to put it in the same category as honey, jam, jelly, fruit butter and molasses or to create a separate classification for a nutbased cocoa spread.

Why would you care? “The main difference,” Chen writes, “is that the serving size on the food label for jam is one tablespoon, while the serving size for dessert topping is two tablespoons.”

If you glance at the Nutella label, you’ll see “200 calories.” That’s for two tablespoons, the serving size for a dessert topping.

“If Nutella were reclassified as

a ‘jam,’ its food label would say that it has 100 calories per tablespoon,” Chen writes, “and that could make people think it’s healthier than it is.

People are already bad at reading food labels… . We often don’t keep track of how much we eat and are easily tricked by a small number next to the ‘calorie’ box – which is exactly what would happen in this case.”

The FDA is seeking public comment. You have until Jan. 3 to tell the agency whether you consider a normal serving of Nutella to be one tablespoon or two.

And if you’d like a little background, consider this: The spread was created in postwar Italy by the Ferrero family of candy fame. It was originally shaped in a loaf so it could be cut to fit nicely on a slice of bread.

In 1964, it was put in a jar and named Nutella.

And today? The company says that the amount of Nutella produced in a year weighs as much as the Empire State Building. That’s a lot of tablespoons.

Prince Harry condemns media ‘abuse’ of American girlfriend

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

L

ONDON — It’s the British royals versus the press — again — and Prince Harry thinks enough is enough.

In a highly unusual statement, the prince on Tuesday lashed out at the media for intruding on the privacy of his new girlfriend, American actress Meghan Markle. The 32-year-old royal said the press had crossed a line with articles that had “racial undertones,” and pleaded: “This is not a game.”

The condemnation was the latest in an often uneasy dance between Britain’s royals and an international press hungry for any tidbit about royal scandal or courtship. Both Harry and his brother, Prince William, have spoken candidly about their distrust of the media: Their mother, Princess Diana, died in a 1997 car accident while being pursued by paparazzi, and William’s wife, Kate, was relentlessly scrutinized for years before the couple married in 2011.

It looks like nothing has changed.

Kensington Palace described how journalists tried to break into Markle’s home, how newspapers offered “substantial bribes” to her ex-boyfriend, and said nearly everyone she knows has been bombarded for information. Markle’s mother couldn’t even get to her front door without jostling reporters.

“What is extraordinary about this letter is the level of ethical conduct breaches it details,” said Steven Barnett, a communications professor at the University of Westminster. “You have to feel something for Harry, who is presumably thinking of his mother and what she had to put up with.”

Markle, 35, is best known for her role as a feisty paralegal in the U.S. television drama Suits.

Many tabloids alluded to her mixed-race heritage — she has an African-American mother and a white father. One Daily Mail headline described her ancestors as “a tailor, a teacher and a cleaner in racially-divided Jim Crow South.” Another dubbed her a “saucy divorcee.”

The Daily Mirror linked Markle with an online pornography site, saying clips of her from Suits featured on the adult site.

Markle has so far not responded, but has in the past written about how she came to terms with being a “biracial woman.”

“While my mixed heritage may

have created a grey area surrounding my self-identification, keeping me with a foot on both sides of the fence, I have come to embrace that,” she wrote in an essay for Elle magazine in 2015.

Royal officials said the harassment has “been very public,” citing “the smear on the front page of a national newspaper the racial undertones of comment pieces and the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments.”

Harry said the commentators will say this is “the price she has to pay” and “this is all part of the game.” But, the palace said, Harry “strongly disagrees.”

“This is not a game — it is her life and his,” the statement said.

Officials had initially declined comment on widespread media speculation that Harry and Markle were dating, as per its usual policy of silence in regard to the personal lives of the royal family. But increasingly the palace has been going on the offensive because the world of blogs and social media can do more reputational damage, and do it more quickly, than traditional media.

“As time goes on, the royal family has sometimes been really puzzled about how to respond to press coverage — should they ignore or seek to engage them?” said James Rodger, a journalism lecturer at City University London. “This is a reflection of an evolving problem, especially with changing social attitudes and media.”

Harry has been linked to a number of women in the past, including another actress, Cressida Bonas. Media intrusion was also seen as having hurt that relationship. In 2012, he spoke of the difficulties of finding a partner willing to take on the responsibilities of being a royal.

Harry said Tuesday’s statement was issued in hopes that the media “can pause and reflect before any further damage is done.” But in confirming his romance with the American actress, the royal also made a very personal relationship public — and there’s no turning back now.

Barnett, at Westminster University, said there wasn’t much the royals could do in the face of a rambunctious press. Despite recent inquiries into media ethics triggered by tabloid phone-hacking allegations, Barnett said British news outlets remain as aggressive as ever.

“All you can do is throw yourself at their mercy,” he said. day in Toronto, Thursday in Ottawa and Friday in Montreal.

In a video posted on her Instagram account on Tuesday, Schumer said she was on her way to vote, but lost her voice and is “pretty sick.”

“I’m so sorry, Canadian sweet people,” she added. “I will be there in February.”

Sketch from Group of Seven member J.E.H. MacDonald heading to auction TORONTO — A 1912 sketch from Group of Seven member J.E.H. MacDonald is heading to the auction block.

Tracks and Traffic will be among the works up for sale at Consignor Canadian Fine Art’s fall auction scheduled for Nov. 22.

The resulting canvas based on this sketch was included in the recent Lawren Harris exhibition curated by Steve Martin and showcased at the Art Gallery of Ontario, and is a part of the AGO’s collection.

Tracks on Traffic provides a glimpse of what Toronto looked like more than a century ago, depicting a scene from the Harbourfront neighbourhood during the industrial period.

MacDonald and Harris were close friends and the pair often painted together in Toronto. Tracks and Traffic was created months after the two artists met in late 1911 and eight years before the Group of Seven was formed.

Harris sketched the scene from another angle, suggesting that the two artists could have been together during the painting expedition.

Tracks and Traffic is expected to fetch between $200,000 and $250,000.

Belafonte was one of five people honoured during the dinner ceremony under the 52-foot ceilings of the library’s historic reading room, with the others cited including Wolf Hall author Hilary Mantel, columnist-speechwriter Peggy Noonan, Brooklyn novelist Colm Toibin and author-translator Javier Marias.

But it wasn’t exactly a quarter to boast about on the theatrical side, with a number of hyped movies fizzling out on opening weekend.

Overall attendance dipped one per cent to 19.2 million moviegoers in the July to September period.

Thien wins $100,000 Giller Prize for ‘Do Not Say We Have Nothing’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

T

ORONTO — Madeleine Thien paid a touching tribute to her late mother after being awarded the $100,000 Scotiabank Giller Prize for Do Not Say We Have Nothing, capping a season flush with accolades for the Montreal-based writer.

After Thien thanked the jury, acknowledged fellow Giller finalists and her loved ones, she expressed the wish that her mother could have been alive to share in celebrating the honour.

“She arrived in Canada 42 years ago and passed away too young in 2002,” Thien told assembled guests at a lavish televised gala held at the Ritz-Carlton in Toronto Monday night.

“She wanted me to be free in this world, to live with confidence, to love and be loved. She taught me to be kind and how to be brave.”

Honours and acclaim have poured in for the Vancouver-born writer, who recently received the Governor General’s Literary Award for fiction for her bestselling novel. Her book was also shortlisted for the prestigious Man Booker Prize.

Do Not Say We Have Nothing (Knopf Canada) is set in China before, during and after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.

The heart of the story involves three Chinese musicians who are studying Western classical music at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music in the 1960s, and explores the revolution that occurred under Mao Zedong and the many political campaigns that pulled apart people’s lives.

“Do Not Say We Have Nothing …

enchants the jurors with its detailed, layered, complex drama of classical musicians and their loved ones trying to survive two monstrous insults to their humanity,” said award-winning composer and recording artist Tanya Tagaq during her presentation of Thien’s novel.

The jury also described the book as “a beautiful homage to music and to the human spirit,” and as “both sad and uplifting in its dramatization of human loss and resilience in China and in Canada.”

Other Giller finalists were Montreal-born Mona Awad for 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl, London, Ont.based Emma Donoghue for The Wonder, and Montreal’s Catherine Leroux for The Party Wall translated by Lazer Lederhendler.

Rounding out this year’s finalists were Hamilton’s Gary Barwin for Yiddish for Pirates and Toronto-based Zoe Whittall for The Best Kind of People.

The six titles were chosen from 161 books submitted by 69 publisher imprints.

In an interview moments after her win, Thien admitted to feeling “quite emotional” and in a state of disbelief at receiving the prize.

“I’m a quiet person. I tend to write quiet books,” she said. “It’s been 20 years of writing, and I do it for the love of writing.”

“The most that we can do is put the most complex, challenging humane book into the world. That’s what I wanted to do.”

At a reception held ahead of the televised gala, Thien spent time meeting and greeting several guests who were effusive in their praise of her work.

Lightfoot on his mom’s trick that keeps his career ticking

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

T

ORONTO — Gordon Lightfoot is a madly organized man and quite proud of it.

Even at 77 years old, he’s kept his “unerring sense of show business” in check, with the help of a pocketbook calendar where he meticulously logs his tour schedule.

“This is how I boil everything down,” says Lightfoot as he thumbs through the pages during an interview at his home in Toronto’s posh Bridle Path neighbourhood.

“It’s a little trick my mother taught me.”

In a few weeks, the man who penned some of the most thoughtful anthems of a generation — songs like The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Sundown and If You Could Read My Mind — will cap off a year of nearly 80 tour dates across North America and Europe.

To keep order in this wildly busy lifestyle he’s planted a few checklists around the house to make sure he’s ready for the road.

“I’m thinking about: ‘Am I going to remember everything I have to take with me,’ ” he adds.

“Count out the socks, count out the underwear and the T-shirts.”

Apparently, one of Canada’s greatest songwriting legends — who’s a winner of 17 Juno Awards — still packs his own suitcase.

Lightfoot has also timed his live shows down to the minute. Two hours and five minutes, to be exact. He can play about 26 or 27 tunes in that time span. All three setlists run exactly the same length. The singer-songwriter enjoyed a little summer break before hitting the road again, dividing his time between family life, the local gym and daily guitar practice.

Lightfoot credits his backup musicians for challenging him to “measure

up” to them onstage.

“At this age, my challenge is doing the best show I can,” he says.

“I’m very much improved from where I was and the seriousness with which I take it.”

Lightfoot says he’s also impressed with the youngest crop of Canadian stars who have struck gold with massive global tours and hit records. Occasionally he’ll flip the radio over to a pop station to sample the latest Justin Bieber song that’s tearing up the charts.

“I grab the odd video. I caught the one with Drake and Rihanna,” he says. “I didn’t know they had one out.”

Watching the next generation chase the spotlight doesn’t inspire Lightfoot to return to the game. He swore off the grind of pushing out new albums after 2004’s Harmony, his 20th studio record, which was shelved for years after he suffered a ruptured artery.

TORONTO — Ask Gordon Lightfoot about the stories behind his songs and you’re likely to get a burst of colourful anecdotes on his relationships and the social climate of the time. ● On his early single Remember Me (I’m the One) getting rejected

by Rosalie Trombley, one of the most powerful radio programmers of the era, who worked at Windsor, Ont.’s CKLW-AM: “I walked in with my record.

She listened to it very attentively. She was a very nice lady and loved the song. She said she’d see what she can do, leave your name with the receptionist and we’ll call you. She didn’t add it, but she remembered — because she knew eventually there’d be another one. And there was, eight years later with If You Could Read My Mind.” ● On hearing If You Could Read My Mind over the airwaves for the first time: “I was just getting ready to leave my basement apartment where I was living with my first wife and two babies when I heard it on the radio. Do I like the way it sounds? No. The first thought that came through my mind (was), ‘I wish I could’ve had just one more take. I wish I hadn’t had those few alcoholic beverages the night before.”’ ● On Black Day in July, about the 1967 Detroit riot, and the song’s legacy: “People were writing songs like it at that time. Bob Dylan was on the scene … I was working there (around that time) and it burned out the area practically next door to the club where I was working, the Living End. The record company really should’ve never put that thing out as a single. I had no right to comment on it — I’m a Canadian. That was what bothered me about it most.

It was too political, and I meant it to be an addition to a folk album I was doing.”

EGINA — The chief of Saskatchewan’s Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations says he supports bands that want to exile criminals.

Bobby Cameron, who represents 74 of the province’s First Nations, says he backs banishment if it means getting rid of drug dealers or protecting young people from drugs and alcohol.

“We’re talking about some communities here that have drug dealers that are selling to 10-yearold kids. What would you guys do? Honestly. You got a 10-year-old kid that’s doing crystal meth. The next day, they kill themselves. Are you going to let it continue or are you going to banish these drug dealers?” Cameron said Monday at the provincial legislature.

“Something has to be done.”

Cameron says the RCMP has a big role to play, too, working with chiefs, band councils and First Nations people who know who the drug dealers are in their communities.

“It’s about improving and combating these problems before they escalate to the point where there’s full-blown usage of drugs and then suicide happens.”

Cameron spoke after reports that Chief Richard Ben and the Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation banished six non-band members and gave warnings to more than a dozen members because of a crystal meth problem.

Muskoday First Nation, Mistawasis First Nation and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band have also banished people to help control crime.

Muskoday Chief Austin Bear said his community held a referendum at the end of October and just over 80 per cent of about 180 people who voted supported a banishment law.

“I see that as our membership supporting their leadership, but more importantly … (they) are concerned about issues in our community with respect to the illicit and illegal trafficking of drugs and how that is impacting on our families, our children and our community,” Bear said.

Five non-members suspected of dealing such drugs were kicked out, he said.

The law could also apply to someone convicted of murder or a known pedophile, he suggested.

“We’re not out on a witch hunt here, however, when the situation arises, we have ways and means of challenging our members who choose to be drug pushers,” Bear said.

“The outcome for these people may be exclusion or banishment, but it’s not an automatic banishment. Every situation has to be considered … on its own.

“But it’s not by any means an intention to have a blanket banishment or exclusion. There’s much more to it than that.”

Other First Nations communities outside of Saskatchewan have also tried banishment.

In 2012, the crime-troubled Samson Cree band in Maskwacis, Alta. — then known as Hobbema — voted to give community leaders the power to evict suspected gang members.

DNA evidence helps free service dog from death row

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

J

eb, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois with alert ears and a dark muzzle, was sentenced to death in September.

The Michigan judge who ordered the dog be euthanized said he had no choice. A neighbour had testified that he saw Jeb standing over the lifeless body of his Pomeranian, Vlad. And state law requires that dangerous dogs — ones that cause serious injury or death to people or other dogs — be destroyed.

But Jeb’s family did not believe he was capable of killing Vlad, said Kandie Morrison, who had given Jeb to her disabled father for use as a service animal. This was a dog whose body 80-year-old Kenneth Job relied on to hoist himself up when he fell, she said; a dog that ignored the rabbit he lived with.

“I knew in my heart from day one that he didn’t do it,” she said in an interview.

‘I KNEW IN MY HEART FROM DAY ONE THAT HE DIDN’T DO IT.’ KANDIE MORRISON

Armed with that confidence, Job and Morrison turned to the kind of evidence well known for exonerating human suspects and increasingly used to help animals: DNA. And last week, after a Florida lab determined samples collected from the frozen corpse of the Pomeranian did not come from Jeb, the big dog was sprung from jail.

Michael D. Wendling, the prosecuting attorney for St. Clair County, said the DNA results “didn’t necessarily exonerate Jeb,” but could have come from a third, unknown animal “that also participated in the act.” But it did lead to an agreement between the neighbours that ended the court process, got Jeb home and “was a practical solution to a difficult emotional problem,” Wendling said.

Is this just one more example of the justice system going to the dogs?

Not really. Four decades after human DNA was first used as evidence in criminal cases, animal DNA is increasingly being used to help solve offenses such as rape, homicide and animal cruelty. In 1999, a man accused of attempted sexual assault was nabbed thanks to the urine that his victim’s dog had sprayed on his tire. A year later, a triple murderer in Indiana was caught after dog poop found on his shoe was matched to feces at the crime scene. In 2011, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced that animal DNA had for the first time led to animal cruelty convictions in New York City, including in the case of a cat whose DNA was found on the umbrella cover a man used to beat the animal to death.

But DNA is also used to catch — or

Tayler Morrison talks to Jeb outside the St. Clair County Animal Control Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2016 in St. Clair Township, Mich.

Jeb, a Michigan dog who spent weeks on death row has returned home after DNA tests cleared him in the death of Vlad, a dog next door. free — animals that are accused of attacks but not caught in the act. In 2001, a paper in the Journal of Forensic Sciences described the case of a serious dog attack on a girl in Israel to explain how it is done: DNA-carrying dog hairs or saliva can be found on a victim, it said, and a victim’s blood or clothing fibers are often found on an accused dog. In the Israeli case, the mastiff being held on suspicion of the attack was excluded – which saved its life, though the court ordered the dog to serve in the military’s canine corps.

These days, investigating officers are often advised to take DNA samples along with doing bite mark analysis.

DNA evidence in dog biting cases Carter Dillard, director of litigation at the Animal Legal Defense Fund, said the use of animal DNA is also “not uncommon in dog bite cases, and is valuable for exculpating innocent animals.” But he said more funding is needed for its use in animal cruelty cases.

Still, the use of DNA in a case like Jeb and Vlad’s is hardly routine.

Wendling said he was not opposed to its use but told Job’s attorney, Ed Marshall, that the county could “not afford to have DNA analysis done on a pet case,” particularly when the Michigan state crime lab has a backlog of homicide cases.

The defendants would need to cover the cost, he said.

Marshall, a criminal defense attorney who said he has handled many murder cases involving DNA, said this was his first with dog DNA. But when he learned that Vlad’s body had been frozen, he said, he figured it was worth a shot.

“You’ve got people who’ve been incarcerated for years and years on capital charges, and all of a sudden you’ve got DNA evidence … and they let them go,” Marshall said. “Why would it be different for a dog?”

Jeb had been in custody of the county animal control office since Aug. 24, when he slipped out of his fenced yard in the town of St. Clair while Job, riding a motorized scooter, was leaving through a gate to go fix his mailbox, Morrison said. Christopher Sawa, Job’s neighbour to the north, later testified in court that he came outside and found Jeb standing over Vlad, the Pomeranian, who was lying on his side with his eyes open.

“I opened his mouth because I wanted to do CPR,” Sawa said, according to the Port Huron Times Herald. “I was horrified by what had just happened.”

A veterinarian testified that Vlad’s wounds indicated he had been shaken by a larger animal that could have been a dog, coyote or mountain lion (although the latter are not believed

to inhabit the state’s lower peninsula). Other neighbours testified that foxes had preyed on local chickens and that coyotes had been heard in the area, the Times Herald reported.

After receiving a 30-day stay on Jeb’s court-ordered destruction, the defense sent six samples — including an ear tip from Vlad, swabs from three of his wounds and a saliva sample from Jeb – to the Maples Center for Forensic Medicine at the University of Florida. In late October, the lab sent back the results: “There is not a match. Jeb is not the dog that killed the deceased dog,” a letter from the lab said.

The agreement reached between the neighbors requires the Jobs to have liability insurance for Jeb and his three other dogs and keep them on leashes when outside the fenced yard. It also requires the Jobs to secure their fence and the Sawas’ fence.

Morrison, Job’s daughter, said her father was overjoyed to get Jeb back.

The dog is not a registered service animal, she said, but he’d undergone hundreds of hours of training to help her father, who has a neurological disorder that causes muscular atrophy and requires him to wear leg braces.

Jeb, Morrison said, fetches Job’s wife if Job seems ill. The night of his return, he checked on Job every hour while he slept in a recliner, Morrison said.

BOLANDER, Grace May Nov. 13, 1920 - Nov. 5, 2016 Grace May Bolander passed away on Saturday, November 5, 2016 at the Red Deer Hospice. Grace was born on a farm east of Delburne, Alberta to Harry and Beatrice Randall.

She had an older brother Dick and a younger sister June (Warren).

She attended Woodlake School prior to working at the Dairy Pool in Alix, Alberta. In 1946 she married Harry and they raised their family in Delburne before moving to Red Deer in 1965.

In 1976, her husband Harry became a paraplegic from a work-related accident and Grace selflessly became the “nurse” she had always aspired to be. In spite of Harry’s mobility issues, they managed to travel with friends and family.

Grace enjoyed square dancing, gardening, needlepoint, baking, playing cards, watching figure skating and was an avid Toronto Blue Jays fan. When Harry passed away in 2003 she remained in their home until she was 92 years old. Although the ALS took a toll on her body, her mind and wit remained strong. Grace will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her. She is survived by three daughters: Betty (Wayne) Martin and their two daughters Kimberley (Trevor) Stephenson (Blake and Chloe) and Tracey (Aaron) Landers (Jadyn and Damon); Dixie (Terry) Brandt and their children Kelly and Leah; and youngest daughter Pat. Special thanks to the Hospice staff for providing her with the TLC she deserved. It was Grace’s wish that there be no funeral service. Condolences may be forwarded to the family at www.eventidefuneralchapels.com.

If so desired, memorial tributes may be made to the Red Deer Hospice, 99 Arnot Ave, Red Deer, T4R 3S6 or to the Lending Cupboard, 5406 - 43 Street, Red Deer, T4N 1C9 LEUNG, Vivian Vivian Leung passed away on November 4, 2016 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital at the age of 93. She is survived by her children, Anita (Ed), Warren (Cherry), and Sylvia (Larry), extended family, Cher and daughter Chloe, Matthew and Chelsea and sons Luke and Cole, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Soman and her son Timothy.

Vivian was born in Victoria, the youngest of seven children. The family relocated to Calgary when she was 15 and started a group of small grocery stores in the city. In 1944, she married Soman and the couple moved to Red Deer where he and a partner established Sterling Cleaners.

Vivian was an enthusiastic golfer and enjoyed her days as a member of “the Sloppys” gang of golf hackers. She also curled and her skill on the ice far surpassed that exhibited on the golf course. She was an avid bridge player and fierce opponent. In her final years, her fiesty nature prevailed as she suffered a series of strokes; she remained determined and undaunted by any setbacks to the end. For Vivian, her family always came first. She was a dedicated mother to her children and to a special niece, Karina, who lived with the family for a number of years. At Vivian’s request, there will be a private family burial. Memorial contributions in Vivian’s honour can be made directly to either Stars Air Ambulance (www.Stars.ca) or Red Deer Hospice Society (www.reddeerhospice.com). Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.eventidefuneralchapels.com.

HAGER, Nicholas Hager, Nicholas (Nick) died peacefully at 100 years of age on Monday October 31, 2016 at the Red Deer Hospice.

Left to honor this wonderful man are his eight children and their families, Maureen (Roy) Franklin, Larry (Lorna) Hager, Ron (Terrie) Hager, Terry (Kathy) Hager, Lynn (Ray) Miller, Cindy McFadden, Pat (Irene) Hager and Dave (Jill) Hager; 30 grandchildren; 19 great grandchildren. Also left to mourn are sisters Kay Read and Caroline Knapik; brother Jerry (Kay) Hager; as well as many nieces, nephews and good friends. Nick was predeceased by the love of his life, Kathleen (Jary) Hager, his brother Peter and son in law Larry McFadden.

He met his wife Kathleen at a dance in Major, Saskatchewan and they were married on February 11, 1944 in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan. A union that lasted 66 years.

Born in Rosenheim, Alberta the son of Michael and Marianna (Keller) Hager spent his youth and most of his adult life in Compeer, Alberta.

As a young man Nick worked on the family farm and in the businesses and eventually he and his brother Jerry took over the operations. Nick was a fair, honest, hardworking businessman who had the respect of the community.

In 1974 Nick and his family moved to Nanton where he started a new career as a parts manager at the GM dealership in High River.

Nick had a passion for traveling and along with his wife Kathleen they traveled around the world and back again.

Later in life Nick enjoyed spending winters in Arizona and quickly made many friends with fellow snowbirds.

Nick and his wife Kathleen loved to dance and together they won a number of competitions for their graceful rendition of the old time waltz.

Nick spoke highly of his friends and the staff at Revera Aspen Ridge and had fond memories of his time with them.

The family of Nick would like to thank the staff on Unit 21 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital and The Red Deer Hospice Society for the care they provided to our dad in his time of need.

A funeral mass and celebration of life will be held at the St. Mary’s Church, 6 McMillan Avenue, Red Deer on Thursday, November 10 at 11:00 a.m.

Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.eventidefuneralchapels.com.

TTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will retrace some of his father’s most historic footsteps next week when he travels to Cuba and quite possibly meets an old family friend — retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

Officially, Trudeau will meet with Cuban President Raul Castro, who took over his country’s leadership in 2008 from his brother, the leader of Cuba’s communist revolution in 1959, and the decades-long antagonist to the United States.

Cuba’s ambassador to Canada says there may be an opportunity to visit with Fidel Castro, too.

“I think this question has been worked out, and there is a chance. I don’t know how it will end,” ambassador Julio Garmendia Pena said.

“I’m sure Fidel would like to meet him, and it would be a great opportunity for him to say hello to a friend of his father, and for Fidel to greet his closest friend’s son as a prime minister.”

Fidel Castro has maintained a sporadic public profile since he formally ceded control of the Caribbean island country to his younger brother. He has met world leaders, including the visiting president of Portugal just weeks ago, and Pope Francis last year, said Pena.

Pierre Trudeau became the first NATO leader to visit Cuba when he touched down on Jan. 26, 1976 with his wife Margaret, and his then fourmonth-old son Michel in tow.

The three-day visit rankled some of Canada’s

allies as Margaret Trudeau sang to Castro, while Trudeau at one point exhorted, “Viva Castro.”

The photos of the visit, especially of the bearded father of the communist revolution holding the prime minister’s infant son, have become iconic.

“From a personal point of view, it impressed us that he came to Cuba with his family. He brought his son, who was only three months and 26 days old,” Castro told the CBC National Magazine in an October 2000 interview.

Annie’s Mailbox

Reader says youth have no manners when it comes to names

D

ear Annie: When did it become commonplace for young people to address their elders by our first

names?

My youngest daughter, “Emma,” graduated high school two years ago and moved out of state for college.

This past summer, when she returned home, I noticed a shift in how her Annie friends spoke with me. Though I have a good relationship with my daughLane ter’s friends — they were often over for study sessions or sleepovers as they grew up — they always addressed me as “Mrs. Smith.” However, the most recent time a few of Emma’s friends were over for dinner, one of them called me “Susan” without prompting.

I was too surprised to say anything at the time, but it struck me as odd. Though they are technically adults, it’s hard to see these young women as my equals. It’s not exactly rude, and I don’t want to be labeled as old-fashioned, yet I’m not sure I’m ready to be “Susan.”

To this day, when I run into the mother of my childhood best friend, I still call her “Mrs. Stevens.” It just seems polite to me.

Annie, am I just behind the times on this, or is there a way to be Mrs. Smith again? — Mrs. in Minnesota Dear Mrs.: I’m with you on this one. Although you may feel a bit awkward doing it, simply tell your daughter’s friends you would prefer that they call you Mrs. Smith. The awkwardness will pass in a matter of seconds, and really, you’ll be doing them a favor. They should be aware that some adults consider the casual first-name-basis treatment disrespectful.

It’s a small thing, yes. But in a world so short on common courtesy, little niceties go a long way.

Dear Annie: You have recently published a couple of letters from people living in apartments with noisy neighbors. Your advice to talk directly to the noisy neighbor is right on. Years ago, we lived next door to a man in his early 30s who liked to party, listen to music and television at a very loud volume, and could be heard giving loud Tarzan yells as he jumped across the furniture in his living room. This

was in an apartment building made of concrete, with thick walls, and we could still hear him.

One day, his music was so loud we couldn’t hear our television at all. My then-husband went next door and knocked repeatedly on the neighbor’s door until he answered. He invited him to come to our place for a coffee, and the neighbor delightedly accepted. My husband insisted that the neighbor come right then, so the neighbor left his apartment with the music still blaring.

When he entered our apartment, he quickly realized that the only thing he could hear was his own music blaring away. We explained to him that though the walls were concrete, they didn’t block out exceptionally loud noise. He sheepishly apologized, and that was the end of the problem. — Living Peacefully in Laval Dear Living: I can’t imagine how he must have felt realizing the whole building had heard Tarzan’s call. Kudos to you and your husband for resolving the problem peacefully.

YOUTH

Adults need to walk the walk when talking driving

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

A

new survey shows the difficulties parents have trying to teach their children to drive, and especially how to teach them to drive without distractions.

And yet the survey also shows once again that part of the problem is that adults too often are doing what they tell their children not to.

Although there is debate among safety advocates and researchers as to how much we can blame smartphones and other distractions for the sharp increase in traffic fatalities in recent years, no one disputes that distractions are potentially deadly and that young drivers seem particularly susceptible. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that our eyes

are not deceiving us: many drivers have their eyes on their smartphones these days, not the road.

The AAA Foundation, using eight years of naturalistic crash data on teenage drivers, has found that about 12 per cent of the 2,200 crashes it studied involving 16- to 19-year-old drivers involved the use of a smartphone. That was more than any other age group of drivers.

The AAA study, which was released in June, also didn’t find an increase in distractions or cellphone use — but it did find a shift in the way phones are being used.

Namely, the study also found that phones are now used less for talking in a vehicle than for texting.

And it suggested that the prevalence of cell

phone distractions is “much more prevalent” than police reports or governmental statistics now capture.

Another look at the issue comes from an online survey conducted in September by Autobrain, a firm that is marketing a device to allow parents or other loved ones to remotely monitor a teenage driver’s vehicle.

The company’s survey documents what pretty much everyone already knows to be true: Parents and teens fight over driving-related issues. For example, 47 per cent of all parents fought with their teenagers over some driving-related issue, and about one in five parents got into a fight with his or her teenager because the parent didn’t think the teenager was ready to drive.

dynamic Mars transiting into your travel zone, do all you can to book an action-packed holiday soon. Somewhere challenging and off the beaten track would be perfect.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mars moves into your lust and loot zone. So expect increased action in one of these areas over the next few weeks. Both avoid getting drawn into arguments over joint finances or shared possessions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Lions are in freedom-bunny mode today, as Mars moves into your travel zone and fires up your desire for freedom. You’re also keen to put progressive plans into dynamic action.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Action-planet Mars advances into your well being zone Virgo. So you need to be proactive about finding a fitness routine that keeps you motivated.

The more challenging it is, the better!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Dynamic Mars shifts into your self-expression zone today Libra. So — if you channel energy into creative pursuits — there’s less likelihood you’ll spend the day feeling listless and lacklustre.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): With mighty Mars marching into your domestic zone, strive to be more proactive about a current family problem. Sitting on the side-lines and

stewing will get you nowhere fast Scorpio!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Mars moves into your communication zone until Dec. 19. So confidence and optimism are high. But avoid passing on unsubstantiated information or jumping to hasty conclusions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The more proactive you are about your finances, the more they will flourish. Don’t expect instant results though. Managing cash and credit carefully now will lead to financial security in the future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Mars moves through your sign until Dec. 19. So it’s time to be bold and proactive.

Confidence is in, and complacency is out; as you go after what you want with passion and pizzazz.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take your foot off the stress pedal and slow down Pisces! Mars is visiting your solitude zone. So make it a Number One priority to enjoy some solo time as you relax, recuperate and rejuvenate.

Joanne Madeline Moore is an internationally syndicated astrologer and columnist. Her column appears daily in the Advocate.

Horoscopes CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Eric Dane, 44; Teryl Rothery, 54; Nick Lachey, 43 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Mars moves into Aquarius, which favours being passionately progressive.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You have a strong need to succeed but don’t become too obsessed with materialism. 2017 is the year to form a stronger connection with your spiriJoanne tual self.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Mars Madeline moves into your hopes and wishes zone. As Moore Diana Ross — a fellow Aries — says, “You can’t wait for people to give you that golden dream. You’ve got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put your best professional face forward because others are taking notice of a more empowered you. Socializing and networking are also favoured.

But don’t neglect loved ones in the process.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Adventure is calling! With
