STORY FROM PAGE 1

TICKETS: Battle garnered a lot of media attention Seward’s high-profile battle garnered a lot of media attention, as well as Facebook comments. And a few people suggested he would get special treatment as a former RCMP officer with Innisfail Freeway Patrol.

In light of this, Seward wanted to publicize the reason his fines were withdrawn to show there was no favouritism.

He argued the tickets should have been dropped because too much time elapsed between when he committed the traffic infractions and when he was served. The fines were related to driving offenses committed in Red Deer on June 8 and June 15. But Seward did not receive the photo radar tickets in the mail until Aug. 15.

Invisible Fence Brand donated seven pet oxygen masks to Red Deer Emergency Services on Tuesday as part of the Project Breathe campaign that has seen 10,000 mask kits donated to emergency responders across the U.S. and Canada.

Dozens of the mask kits, worth more than $100, have been donated to fire departments in Alberta.

“We have already outfitted Edmonton and Calgary completely with them and a number of smaller fire departments as well,” said Greg Deitz, who represents Invisible Fence Brand in southern Alberta.

Fire departments that have gotten wind of the donation campaign have also requested kits, including Cochrane recently.

“They recently had a fire where they had rescued a pet and, luckily, saved it. But they said it was quite a challenge for them to try to get oxygen to a stressed pet.

“Their mask didn’t fit and guys were trying to give it mouth to mouth.”

Masks come in three sizes to fit the biggest dogs as well as smaller pooches, as well as cats or other similar-sized critters. They are designed

Burnt Lake Fas Gas robbed RCMP are searching for suspects wanted in an armed robbery at the Burnt Lake Fas Gas on Monday.

Police said they were called to the gas station in Burnt Lake Industrial Park, just west of Red Deer, with a report of an armed robbery.

A male suspect went into the store while a woman waited at the door.

The man went to the till and demanded money while banging his handgun on the counter.

The clerk put an undisclosed amount of money and cigarettes in bags and the man and woman, who were both wearing masks, fled to a waiting vehicle.

Blackfalds RCMP believe a third person was waiting in the vehicle.

It is described as a grey 2011 Chevrolet Impala and at the time of the robbery was bearing Alberta trailer licence plate 4BR094. The suspect vehicle is believed to have been stolen from Red Deer last Thursday.

Contact the Blackfalds RCMP at 403-885-3300 or call 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or at www.tipsubmit.com.

While the U.S. Fire Administration doesn’t track the numbers of pets that die in fires, estimates put the number between 40,000 to 150,000 each year. About 10,000 North American pets have already been saved by the masks, which are designed to form a tight seal around pets’ muzzles or snouts.

Seward said this is well outside the 21-day provincial guideline.

In the interim, he took the old vehicle he had been driving to the junkyard.

This meant he couldn’t check its speedometer, which he believes might have been outof-whack, as can JIM SEWARD happen with older vehicles.

“It’s the principle of the thing,” said Seward, who plans to write another letter to the Crown asking for reasons for the withdrawal. He’s also seeking reassurance that his photo radar fines won’t be reinstated if new evidence turns up within six months, as provincial regulations allow. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Red Deer Emergency Services Capt. Doug Vesely said there have been a number of occasions in his career where the masks would have come in handy.

Since existing masks don’t fit pets, firefighters sometimes try to direct oxygen from a tube into the animal’s nose. Firefighters have tried a mouthto-snout technique in some cases. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

RCMP are searching for a suspect after a man robbed a Clive bar at gunpoint on Sunday night.

Blackfalds RCMP said a man walked into the Rooster Bar about 11:30 p.m., pulled out a handgun and demanded cash.

The suspect is described as Caucasian and about 1.73 metres (5-foot-8).

He was wearing a leather jacket, black ski mask and prescription glasses.

Town slashes expenses to spare residents tax hikes

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

T

own of Sylvan Lake is planning some serious belt-tightening, but residents and businesses will be spared tax hikes.

Council’s proposed 2017 budget calls for a minimal 0.2 per cent tax increase that means most will see virtually no change to their tax bills next year.

The proposed municipal tax increase is a sharp reduction in the 2.96 per cent residential and 1.89 non-residential tax increases that had been proposed in the last version of the town’s three-year budget.

Town spokeswoman Joanne Gaudet said council made it clear it wanted to reduce the financial impact on residents during tough economic times.

“That came up as the driving force.”

Fallout out from the province’s economic downturn has meant tweaking the $37.4 million operating and $11.7 million capital budgets.

Population growth had been projected at 4.5 per cent over three years.

That has now been revised downward to 1.5 per cent.

The town is also predicting a significant drop in assessment growth.

Annual growth in assessment was downgraded to $40 million from $60 million for next year and in 2018.

The town is predicted some addi-

tional expenses next year with the addition of more park space and the opening of the NexSource Recreation Centre.

To offset those new costs, town departments have been ordered to cut expenses by five per cent and travel and training will be reduced by 10 per cent.

Some projects, such as a proposed fire training facility have been deferred, and a $125,000 community grant cut in half.

Staff wage increases, initially pencilled in at three per cent in 2017 and 2018 will be reduced to one per cent in each of those two years, rising to two per cent in 2019.

The town is also saving money by cutting back on new initiatives — $1.6 million over the next three years. The capital budget has been cut by $3.7 million next year.

“Looking at the budget for next year, it was tough, but we really considered what was a need versus what was a want, in order to keep costs down,” says Mayor Sean McIntyre in a statement.

“We haven’t postponed or reduced anything considered a need …,” said McIntyre, who was at a conference and unavailable for further comment.

The public can get a look at the budget at a meeting with council and town staff on Nov. 29 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at 104- 25 Beju Industrial Drive or go to www.sylvanlake.ca pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

CANADA WINTER GAMES

City upgrading sports facilities at Great Chief Park

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

P

reparation for the 2019 Canada Winter Games is leading to big changes in Red Deer’s Great Chief

Park.

Construction is beginning this fall to upgrade sports facilities in the park abutting Bower Ponds.

Since Great Chief Park will be the venue for long-track speed skating when Red Deer hosts the Canada Winter Games, city work crews are constructing a new synthetic sports field, and a world-class 400-metre speed skating oval.

Over the next few years, they will also be building a new fieldhouse/ pavilion to include a concession, public washrooms, change rooms, meeting space, and areas for the time keeper and media.

A new maintenance building will

be constructed. The parking area will be reconfigured and electrical services will be upgraded.

Not only are these projects needed for the Canada Winter Games, since Great Chief Park will be one of many local venues, but Red Deer residents will also get “a four-season park for decades to come,” said Curtis Martinek, project supervisor.

Work crews are starting to move earth for the new sports field before winter shutdown. Trees and bushes are also being removed at the west and north parking lots to improve sight lines for safety and access.

Starting today, underground utility construction will begin and continue for about a week. This will require intermittent lane closures on the road leading into Great Chief Park.

ed Deer RCMP neutralized a suspected bomb shortly after 10 p.m. Monday after a citizen found a suspicious package and brought it to the downtown police detachment.

The Explosives Device Unit was brought in to examine and neutralize the package. So far it has not been determined whether it was an explosive. RCMP continue to investigate.

No one was injured during the incident.

Police said an adult male took the package to police and that it was not found at a public location.

Police believed it was not a random incident.

Between 6:30 p.m. and midnight, police closed 51st Avenue between 46th and 47th Street near the detachment while dealing with the package. Non-essential staff were evacuated from the downtown RCMP detachment as a safety precaution.

Officers canvassed neighbouring businesses that were open at the time to advise them of what was happening.

Red Deer Emergency services provided support and supplemental lighting while the package was examined.

RCMP urged the public to contact police immediately if they discover a suspicious package.

Police said the Explosives Device Unit does not come to Red Deer often, not more than a couple times a year.

Society wants more information about child-care plan

A

provincial plan to develop 18 new Early Learning and Child Care Centres across the province has tweaked the interest of Red Deer Child Care Society, but executive director Rob Elliot says more details are needed.

The $10-million announcement on Tuesday is expected to create 1,000 new child-care spaces, cap fees at $25 a day, and address existing gaps by providing flexible options for parents doing shift work, accessible locations at public buildings, and supports for children with diverse needs.

Each new child-care centre will receive up to $500,000 in operating funding the first year, with the opportunity to receive two more years of funding.

The location of new child-care centres

will be where the demand is greatest, and will be announced early in 2017.

Elliot said he has all kinds of questions, like whether a subsidy is associated with plan.

“One of the difficulties is it does appear to cover operations, but capital costs don’t appear to be covered,” Elliot said.

“If you’re going to have to spend $1 million to construct a daycare, you’re going to have to find that money.”

He said the non-profit society has been interested in expansion, but the economy has hampered discussion.

“As the economics recover, and they seem to be starting to, we’ll reopen the discussion with the board.”

The application deadline to apply for provincial funding is Jan. 20.

Elliot said it’s something Red Deer Child Care will look at seriously.

“It’s always heartening to us when there is money available.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

FORT MCMURRAY WILDFIRE

Recovery to spur $5.3 billion in spending, report says

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

C

ALGARY — The massive efforts to respond to and rebuild after the wildfire of Fort McMurray will spur economic growth in the coming years but leave insurance companies and governments with a tab of more than $5 billion, says a new report.

The Conference Board of Canada said in a paper released Tuesday that the spending will add 0.4 per cent or $1.1 billion to Alberta’s GDP next year, followed by growth of 0.2 per cent and 0.1 per cent in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

The ramp-up in reconstruction, needed to rebuild the nearly 2,000 homes and businesses destroyed by the May fire, is also expected to create about 9,000 jobs next year and cut a 0.1 percentage point off the unemployment rate.

The report concluded that the economic boost from spending on the fire this year will be more than offset by lost oilsands production as companies were forced to shut down operations, shaving off 0.1 per cent or $456 million from Alberta’s GDP. The Conference Board also warned that while the increased spending in the coming years will boost the GDP, it isn’t suggesting there will be any

overall benefit to the disaster.

“We’re really not better off down the road,” said Pedro Antunes, deputy chief economist at the Conference Board. “There are some negative long-term consequences to this extra rebuilding.”

Antunes said insurance rates will likely go up as companies struggle to cover the costs, while governments will see higher debts.

Bill Adams, vice-president of the Western and Pacific division of the Insurance Bureau of Canada, said insured costs of the fire have now climbed to an estimated $3.77 billion.

“Without diminishing the profound impact this has had on families and this community, the Fort McMurray wildfire has become the largest insured claims event in Canadian history,” said Adams.

The Conference Board based its finding on an earlier insurance estimate of $3.6 billion in payouts, while it found governments will be on the hook for about $1.5 billion in firefighting, relief and rebuilding costs.

Another $200 million came from early payouts from the Alberta government, the Canadian Red Cross and oilsands companies to cover household needs, bringing the report’s total estimated cost of the fire by the end of 2019 to $5.3 billion.

RCMP issue warning about dynamite Alberta RCMP have said there is a large amount of degraded/deteriorated dynamite in Alberta.

As a result of historic rules permitting easy access to dynamite for farmers and ranchers, a lot of the dynamite is decaying in barns and fields.

Over time the dynamite sweat chemicals which crystallize and form on the outside of the dynamite and can then pool in the bottom of where they are stored. If the materials are even slightly jarred the chemical becomes unstable and leads to detonation.

In addition to the dynamite, copper detonators, containing lead azide, were produced in Canada from 1918 to 1965 and are still being stored in older homesteads within the province.

If exposed to moisture, these detonators can produce an explosive gas and the slightest change in environment can cause degradation.

The RCMP Explosives Disposal Unit is urging Albertans to be cautious of what they find on their properties and to speak with elderly members of their families prior to clearing out older out-buildings to determine if there could be explosives on site.

If anyone suspects these materials on their land call the local RCMP detachment to have the materials safely disposed of. Do not touch or move the explosives yourself.

Canada-wide warrant issued for murder suspect RCMP have issued a Canada-wide warrant for the arrest of a suspect in the murder of a man in Maskwacis last Friday.

Early Friday morning, Maskwacis RCMP responded to a report of two men attacked with edged weapons. One man had non-life-threatening injuries and the other died of his injuries later that morning at Ponoka Hospital.

On Monday night, the chief medical examiner’s office in Calgary ruled the death a homicide.

A warrant has been issued for Allan Joseph Soosay, 26, who faces charges of second-degree murder, assault with a weapon, and assault causing bodily harm.

Soosay is aboriginal, weighs 75 kg (166 pounds) and is 173 cm (five feet eight inches) tall. He has black hair and brown eyes.

Police warn that people should not approach Soosay. Instead call 911 or their local police service. Call the Maskwacis RCMP at 780-585-3767 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

DMONTON — Alberta’s child and youth advocate is urging the province to do more to ensure kids who have been in government care are safe after they’ve been returned to their families.

Del Graff says families need to be trained and proper assessments need

ALBERTA

IN SHORT Notley defends oilsands group appointees CALGARY — The Alberta government is facing renewed criticism over its choice of panellists to head up its oilsands advisory group.

The Wildrose party is calling for co-chair Tzeporah Berman and another appointee, Karen Mahon, to be fired.

The opposition party claims Mahon sent out a fundraising email “imploring people to fight against the Kinder Morgan pipeline.”

Berman is a well-known antioilsands advocate.

She co-chairs the group with Dave Collyer, the former president and CEO of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and Melody Lepine, a member of Alberta’s Mikisew Cree First Nation.

Premier Rachel Notley says she wants different voices — including environmentalist and oilsands producers — to be heard.

“People will disagree, but the way forward is to find common cause, not to develop silos and to develop your own echo chamber and then to be really surprised when no one agrees

to be done before a child is sent back home or to relatives.

Graff reviewed the deaths of two indigenous girls who had been in government care.

A four-year-old died of physical injuries while in kinship care and a nine-month-old returned to her parents died of undetermined causes.

Graff’s report says a more thorough assessment of the four-year-old’s placement home would have been

helpful and suggests family reunifications should be monitored and adjusted.

Human Services Minister Irfan Sabir says the Alberta government accepts Graff’s five recommendations and will work quickly to make improvements.

“Children are entitled to a safe home and caregivers need to be equipped with the necessary skills and supports to provide this,” Graff

said in a release.

He said the four-year-old’s story “reminds us of the importance of continually assessing the needs of children and kinship caregivers, and the importance of ensuring the necessary supports are always in place.”

Graff pointed out that three reports in the past three years made similar recommendations to those he released Tuesday, but there has been limited followup.

for failing to comply with provincial environmental legislation.

In a news release, the government says CN has been charged with six counts under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act relating to the release of a substance into the environment in April 2015.

CN is also accused of failing to immediately report the release to Alberta Environment and Parks.

The release says the substance that was released might cause “a significant adverse effect” but a government spokesman declined to say what the substance was or how much of it was allegedly released.

CN declined comment.

The next court appearance is set for Nov. 21.

Wife says TurkishCanadian imam Davud Hanci in solitary

Canadian National Railway Company faces environment charges

CALGARY — The wife of a Calgary imam says he is being held in solitary confinement in Turkey and worrying about his well-being has been torturous.

Davud Hanci, who has Canadian and Turkish citizenship, was arrested in July shortly after a failed coup attempt.

Rumeysa Hanci says she has not been able to speak to her husband since he was allowed a phone call shortly after he was detained.

“I just want him to be safe there and to come home as soon as possible,” she said from Toronto, where she is staying with family.

“I love him so much and I miss him so much.”

She said Canadian government officials have not been able to see him.

Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion raised consular cases, including Hanci’s situation, on a phone call last week with his Turkish counterpart, said spokeswoman Chantal Gagnon.

Freedom of the press and recent terrorist attacks were also discussed.

Global movement to fight climate change ‘irresistible’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

M

Wednesday, November 16, 2016

ARRAKECH, Morocco — The momentum behind the movement for global reductions in greenhouse gas emissions is “irresistible” despite the recent election of Donald Trump, Canada’s environment minister said Tuesday.

Speaking at the UN climate change conference in Morocco, Catherine McKenna tried to minimize the effects of the U.S. election result.

“In terms of climate change … there’s an irresistible force now,” McKenna said. “There’s no going back. You can’t stop the waves from hitting the beach. And what you’re seeing is, it’s because the market forces recognize the huge opportunity.”

Trump’s victory last week dampened spirits going into the Morocco conference as the president-elect has come out publicly as a skeptic of man-

made climate change.

Trump also said he wanted to pull the United States out of the Paris Agreement, which is a deal ratified by more than 100 countries to limit the average global temperature increase by a maximum of two degrees Celsius by 2050.

McKenna said that despite Trump’s election win, the movement to reduce emissions has reached a “point of no return.”

The minister wouldn’t say, however, how she would try to persuade the incoming American government to stay inside the Paris agreement.

“We have a great relationship with the United States,” she said.

“That’s really important to us and I think it’s important to Americans.

And we’re going to continue there.

And I think there are a lot of opportunities to continue going forward when it comes to the environment, when it comes to the economic opportunities that are presented.”

Lack of government help drives more to food banks: report

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

O

TTAWA — More Canadians are relying on food banks to feed themselves, a report released Tuesday sug-

gests.

The report by Food Banks Canada says last March some 863,492 people turned to a food bank, a 1.3 per cent increase over March 2015 and a 28 per cent rise over 2008.

“More than 300,000 of those helped were children,” said Shawn Pegg, the organization’s director of policy and research. “That’s enough kids to fill 6,000 school buses.”

The report found that food banks in eight of 10 provinces saw increased traffic with the biggest jumps in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and the three territories.

Only Manitoba and Ontario didn’t see increased usage compared to last year.

Nova Scotia food banks saw a 20.9 per cent increase in users from 2015, while Alberta and Saskatchewan saw 17 per cent increases.

“The economic shocks we’ve seen in Western Canada have added to the long-term decline in well-paying jobs across the country, jobs that are being replaced by low-paying, precarious work,” Pegg said.

higher usage is also driven by the lack of government support for people who face uncertain prospects.

“Governments are failing to provide adequate supports to people who have fallen on hard times,” Pegg said. “It shows we need to break from the past in our approach to solving the problems of poverty, food and security and hunger.”

The report recommends the Liberal government, among other things, fast-track a poverty-reduction strategy and revamp the welfare system.

“Social assistance traps Canadians in poverty rather than helping them to escape it,” the report says.

“It is based in a culture of suspicion and distrust rather than one of support and mutual aid.”

The report recommends that the bar be lowered in terms of the value of liquid assets a household is allowed to have while getting welfare, and that benefits not be reduced if welfare recipients are able to earn extra cash through work.

For the longer term, it calls for creation of a basic income for Canadians that would be administered through the tax system, allowing governments to “dismantle existing provincial/territorial social assistance bureaucracies.”

TTAWA — An emotional Health Minister Jane Philpott, brought to tears by her own father’s experience with dementia, suggested Tuesday that the Liberal government plans to support a national strategy to tackle the widespread disease.

“My father is an absolutely amazing person, the wisest and smartest person I’ve ever known and it has affected us a lot because he is not the same person he used to be,” Philpott said outside the Commons.

“It affects my amazing mother who lives with him and takes care of him so I get how much it changes families, how much it affects peoples’ lives and how much we don’t really have great systems in place.”

Dementia is a serious and growing problem, Philpott added, noting it is a pressing issue for other health ministers across the country.

By 2031, it is estimated 1.4 million Canadians will develop dementia — up from 750,000 in 2011.

Philpott conceded much more can be done to tackle the problem, noting the government is receptive to a private member’s bill on the issue which is before the Commons.

Former Conservative cabinet minister Rob Nicholson is sponsor of a piece of legislation that, if passed, would establish a Canada-wide framework for dealing with mentalhealth conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.

The bill has passed second reading and is before the Commons Health committee for study.

Earlier Tuesday, a Conservative senator suggested Canada is a laggard in addressing dementia as he released a committee report urging a national strategy to deal with the problem.

Sen. Kelvin Ogilvie, who chaired the Senate’s committee on social affairs, science and technology, said the federal government should spend $30 million a year to ensure a national strategy is properly funded.

Strings also need to be attached $3 billion promised by the Liberal government for home care over the next four years, Ogilvie said.

IN SHORT Spray-painted swastika shocks Ottawa rabbi OTTAWA — An Ottawa rabbi says she was shocked to find a red swastika and anti-Semitic slur spraypainted on her front door in the dead of night.

The attack, which took place very late Monday or in the wee hours of Tuesday, clearly shook Anna Maranta, who runs a Jewish faith centre from her home.

“It’s not something I expected,” she said Tuesday. “I’ve never had any incidents even remotely close to this.”

Maranta reported the graffiti to the Ottawa police hate crimes unit, which sent an officer to investigate.

B’nai Brith Canada says a swastika was also discovered Monday on the wall of Hof Kelsten, a well-known Jewish bakery in Montreal.

The group notes the attacks in Canada follow a number of similar incidents across the United States, as well England, where vans used by a Jewish school were recently defaced by swastikas.

Ottawa Liberal MP David McGuinty condemned the Ottawa attack in the House of Commons on Tuesday, calling on fellow MPs to make it clear that religiously motivated assaults are contrary to Canadian values and principles.

“This incident clearly demonstrates that anti-Semitism still exists in Canada, and that all of

us must be vigilant to speak out and actively work together to combat it,” he said.

“I ask all members to stand together side by side in condemning, denouncing and most of all repudiating this incident and any others like it.”

Trudeau arrives in Cuba, meets with president Raul Castro HAVANA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived in Cuba on Tuesday evening, where the country’s president told him the island nation will not progress any faster than it already is.

Cuban President Raul Castro, the younger brother of legendary Cuban leader Fidel Castro, warned that others have gone through reforms too quickly without regard to the needs of the people, leaving their citizens jobless.

“Even though I have said we have to move slowly, you can go too fast. I have said slowly, but steady,” Raul Castro said through an interpreter.

The message to the Canadian prime minister in a grand room in the Revolutionary Palace in Havana came as Trudeau tries to open up trade opportunities for Canadian companies who want to cash in on the Cuban government’s decision to loosen restrictions on foreign investment.

Manitoba teen apologizes for promoting terrorism on social media BRANDON, Man. — A Manitoba teenager who promoted terrorist activity online and urged people to “strike from within” apologized in court Tuesday and said he had not thought about the possible outcomes of his actions.

“I regret what I’ve done … I was struggling with my identity,”

the 17-year-old, who cannot be identified because of his age, told his sentencing hearing in a Brandon court.

“I didn’t think ahead (about) my actions.”

The teen pleaded guilty earlier this year to counselling the commission of an indictable offence for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group.

He has been in custody since his arrest a year ago. The hearing was the first time details about the case were made public.

Ottawa, military defend letting Canadians shoot first in Iraq OTTAWA — The Liberal government faced fresh accusations of misleading the public on Tuesday after the country’s top soldier said Canadian troops have been allowed to fire first in Iraq.

Government and military officials have previously said Canadian troops can and have fired in self-defence, including to defend their Kurdish partners and civilians.

Chief of defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday that such defensive fire includes instances where his troops have taken the first shot against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

“Canadians expect their government and their laws to reflect their values,” Justice WilsonRaybould said Tuesday after tabling legislation to repeal a provision of the Criminal Code that places restrictions on anal intercourse.

The legislation came as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau named Liberal MP Randy Boissonnault his special adviser on LGBTQ2 issues.

The openly gay MP for Edmonton Centre will spearhead consultations with LGBTQ2 Canadians — an acronym referring to lesbians, gays, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and two-spirited people, a term used broadly to describe indigenous people who identify as part of the community — on how the Liberal government will respond to many of the issues raised in the Egale report.

OPINION

Trump expected to serve up higher food prices

BY SYLVAIN CHARLEBOIS ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

D

onald Trump has been a topic of conversation at dinner tables for some time. Now, the American president-elect is poised to push up the cost of the food on those same tables.

Policy proposals on immigration, trade and security dominated the U.S. presidential campaign. Not much was said about agriculture or food policies.

But a new approach in Washington, with a Republican president and a Republican-dominated Congress, could affect what North Americans eat and how much it will cost.

Food prices have been dropping in recent weeks in Canada, so any increase in prices would be welcomed by the industry. Not so for budget-conscious consumers.

It all starts with energy.

Trump’s victory could have major implications on global energy geopolitics. Trump wants more fossil fuel drilling, fewer regulations and a complete withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate warming. His defiance of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is consistent with his views on U.S. energy security. The Keystone XL pipeline project also fits well with his intentions.

All of this could initiate the next commodity super-cycle. Agricultural commodity prices are still at

historic lows and will remain so for a while. This is great news for consumers, but the number of jobs in the sector has stagnated over the past six months. The phenomenon has now reached Canada, to a lesser extent.

We all want lower food prices, but this situation clearly hurts the food industry. The sweet spot for food inflation is one to two per cent a year. That allows industry to provide higher quality products at affordable prices.

With Trump in the White House, labour challenges will also rise.

Eventually, Trump’s immigration proposals could impact your dinner plate. More than 66,000 temporary agricultural workers with visas enter the U.S. every year. An estimated two million illegal workers help U.S. farmers at harvest. Without that support, U.S. production levels will decline and prices will go up.

How will Trump create jobs for Americans in agriculture? It’s an issue Canada has also struggled with.

The next U.S. Farm Bill will be written by the Trump administration. The bill is American-driven but its influence is far-reaching.

It’s easy to assume that American farmers will come first in any new legislation. We could see subsidies driving commodity prices higher.

Trump has a thing for ethanol, which diverts grain to fuel production. That drives up grain prices as it restricts supply. American farmers could be well served by a new Farm Bill. Ironically, restaurants will benefit from Trump’s election.

Restaurant chain stock values are on the rise after the election. And the push for $15 minimum wages was hit hard in many states during the election, which is also good news for restaurant operators. So menu prices could drop.

For Canadian restaurants, it means less pressure from the United States, for now. Many in the Canadian restaurant industry are cheering, ever so quietly.

Trump’s proposal of a 15 per cent cap on business taxes will make some Canadian lawmakers nervous.

We could see more food processing move from Canada to the States, where tax and labour costs are lower. This could further jeopardize our control over food supply chains and make it harder to maintain our competitiveness.

In addition, the loonie is likely to fall further with lower interest rates here. That will make our food economy more vulnerable to currency fluctuations.

So as Trump policies push food prices higher over the next few years, Canada will not be immune.

And higher food prices hurt consumers.

Dinner table discussion may soon centre around a global agriculture economy beset by abrupt shifts in commodity prices.

And that’s unsavoury for consumers.

Oil, gas producers release higher spending plans for 2017

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

C

ALGARY — Oil and gas companies are opening their wallets, emboldened by lower oilfield costs, a favourable new Alberta royalty regime and optimism that commodity prices will at least stabilize next year.

Producers that can afford to spend more are signalling a willingness to do so in budget announcements this fall.

That’s despite a forecast issued last week by the Paris-based International Energy Agency of more supply and little demand growth in 2017, suggesting continued poor global oil prices.

On Monday, benchmark New York crude oil prices dropped to a three-month low of US$43.32 per barrel. Although they recovered Tuesday, they remained well below mid-2014 levels of over US$100 per barrel.

“If you’re optimistic for 2017 pricing being higher and you have a new lower cost structure, that’s where you’re seeing some of the capital expenditure increases going forward,” said AltaCorp Capital energy analyst Thomas Matthews on Tuesday.

“Now you’re seeing the guys that can make money in those plays spending more money in those plays.”

The list of companies spending more this year includes giant Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ), which increased its 2016 capital spending budget by $700 million to do more conventional drilling in Alberta in the last months of the year.

Mid-sized companies that have announced budget increases for 2017 include Crescent Point Energy (TSX:CPG), Whitecap Resources (TSX:WCP), Enerplus (TSX:ERF), Kelt Exploration (TSX:KEL) and Painted Pony Petroleum (TSX:PPY) — the five budgets together add up to half a billion dollars more spending in 2017 than what they initially planned in 2016.

“We have positioned Whitecap to be defensive when required with the ability to be more offensive when the environment presents itself,” Whitecap CEO Grant Fagerheim said in an email.

“Although we certainly have some prevailing headwinds at this time, we are quite constructive on the energy space going forward.”

Matthews said while some companies with

Canadian oil and gas producers remain optimistic for 2017 pricing in the oil industry. Producers that can afford to spend more are signalling a willingness to do so in budget announcements this fall. healthy balance sheets will spend more, many others remain “capital constrained” on the sidelines, which makes it difficult to say whether overall Canadian production and drilling will show a net increase.

The budgets announced so far are usually described as “preliminary,” he said, adding producers plan to spend more in the second half of the year when the commodity price picture might be clearer.

He said most of the oil producers are counting on average oil prices of between US$50 and $55 per barrel and will likely cut back if prices remain in the $40s for too long.

In its recent spending announcement, Kelt Exploration said it was already drilling wells to take advantage of better terms under the Alberta government’s new royalty framework announced in July.

The new rules officially take effect Jan. 1 but the government has allowed early applications for new wells to be drilled this year.

Alberta Energy said earlier this month that it had approved applications for 129 new wells under its new royalty regime.

The Petroleum Services Association of Canada has forecast 4,175 wells to be drilled in Canada next year, up about six per cent over 2016, but 63 per cent lower than the number drilled in 2014.

RBC to increase fixed mortgage rates

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

T

ORONTO — Royal Bank (TSX:RY) is hiking mortgage rates amid a combination of higher bond yields and recent federal mortgage rule changes that have made it pricier for banks to get access to cash.

RBC said Tuesday it’s raising its special offer for a five-year fixed rate mortgage to 2.94 per cent, an increase of 30 basis points.

The lender also said it’s raising its special offer for a four-year fixed rate mortgage to 2.79 per cent and three-year fixed rate mortgage to 2.69 per cent,

▲

increases of 30 and 25 basis points, respectively.

The changes, which impact amortizations under 25 years, take effect Thursday.

Robert McLister, a mortgage planner at IntelliMortgage and the founder of RateSpy.com, said Donald Trump’s surprise election victory has caused a sell-off in the bond market, as investors anticipate that his promised tax cuts and infrastructure spending will result in higher inflation.

The sell-off has pushed bond yields, which move inversely from bond prices, higher.

“Mr. Trump has made it more expensive for North Americans to get mortgages,” McLister said.

“Fixed mortgage rates and bond yields tend to

move hand-in-hand.”

Mortgage rule changes introduced by Ottawa last month are also likely a factor, although to a lesser extent, McLister said.

The federal government introduced an array of new regulations governing insured mortgages, including expanded stress test requirements and restrictions on when it will provide insurance for mortgages with larger down payments.

Some mortgage brokers have warned that the new rules will make it harder for non-bank lenders to operate and could see Canadians pay higher interest rates.

Warm weather helps farmers push through harvest after snow, rain delay

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

R

EGINA — Unseasonably warm weather has given some Prairie farmers a second chance to finish a harvest that was delayed because of snow.

“We’re done!” said Murray Taks, who farms near Crossfield, northeast of Calgary.

“We got done about 10 days ago and then we went and helped a neighbour out and he just got done (Monday).”

It’s a big change from October when fields were saturated and combines were halted across Saskatchewan and Alberta because of rain and snow.

At the time, Taks said he hadn’t been out in the field for at least 10 days. He only had half of about 2,400 hectares of crop off — mostly wheat

and barley — but his canola was still out and it was wet.

Some neighbours weren’t even that far along, he said in mid-October.

But Taks said Tuesday that Mother Nature finally stepped in and gave farmers 10 days of what they needed — some warm, dry winds.

“I think pretty well everybody’s wrapped up. There might be the odd one that has a little bit (left), but the neighbours all got together and helped each other out. I think everybody’s in good shape now.”

Taks said the days were long, with combines lighting up the fields well after dark.

He’s feeling better now though.

“I can sleep again for a while,” he laughed.

“It’s a big relief because … I don’t think you’ll ever see another Novem-

ber like this that’ll give you a second chance like that to get it done.”

The Alberta crop report said that about 81 per cent of crops had been harvested as of Nov. 6.

In Saskatchewan, the last weekly crop report issued at the end of October said 82 per cent of the crop had been combined — well below the fiveyear average of 99 per cent.

Shannon Friesen, a crop specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said the warmer weather could push that number closer to 90 per cent when a final report is released Nov. 24 to capture any additional harvest progress and summarize the crop year.

“Things have been much slower than normal, but we’re just thankful that we can actually be out in the field now,” Friesen said Tuesday.

She said the northeast grain belt, around Melfort and Tisdale, is still pretty wet so equipment can’t get in.

Don Williams, who farms in Lanigan, Sask., started harvesting Aug. 22, but didn’t finished until last Wednes-

day. He had three neighbours show up and ask for help Saturday morning and was combining at a neighbour’s place on Tuesday.

“It’s just beautiful harvest weather in November. It’s unbelievable actually,” said Williams.

Williams says this is only the third time in his 33 years of farming that he’s harvested in November.

It was slow and painful, he said.

Only about one-third of the crop was dry, so he’s dried about 130,000 bushels of grain so far and has another 60,000 to go. It costs about $1,200 every other day to fuel the grain dryer and that’s been going for a month, he said.

Williams said the damp weather also pushed down the crop, making it tougher to get off. That can damage the equipment.

“We’re having to basically shave the ground to get the grain off … We put a few rocks through the combine and lots of propane through the grain dryer now.”

STORY FROM PAGE 11

MORTGAGE: Rule changes a factor “We’re seeing government rule changes behind the scenes that are making it more expensive to lend,” McLister said.

Additional mortgage rate changes being introduced by RBC Thursday will also impact homebuyers who opt for an amortization period longer than 25 years. They will now have to pay higher rates than those with shorter amortization periods.

The special offer rates for three-, four- and five-year fixed rate mortgages are 10 basis points higher than for those with an amortization of 25 years or less.

RBC said it takes a number of factors into account when making changes to mortgage rates, including funding costs and market conditions.

“This includes looking at the bond market, swaps and liquidity in the market, to name a few,” Mary Ellen Brown, RBC’s senior vice-president of home equity financing, said in a statement.

“Based on current conditions, our rates reflect the right balance between our clients’ expectations and our costs of funding mortgages.”

The increase by RBC follows a move by TD Bank (TSX:TD) earlier this month to raise the interest rate it charges customers with variable-rate mortgages.

TD increased its TD Mortgage Prime rate to 2.85 per cent from 2.7 per cent. The bank said it regularly reviews its rates and adjusts them based on a number of factors, including the cost that the bank pays to fund mortgages.

National players’ combine headed West participating player to pay his own way to attend some of these things.

And if there are vacancies at the combine, it could be filled in with more local players from the Canwest,” he said.

Bryce just finished his first season as head coach of the Rams football program, leading his team and quarterback Noah Picton to a 6-3 record and a playoff loss to the UBC Thunderbirds in the Canada West semifinals.

The shift of venue, Bryce said, will increase the accessibility players gain to scouts and teams’ personnel.

The same goes for football players in junior programs like the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL), he said. “(Pro scouts’) eyes are on local talent that particular day or two, or that particular week. So having the scouts in town and drawing attention to local athletes, I think that’s going to be good for junior teams as well,” Bryce said.

Current starters Dan Clark and Andrew Harris both came to the CFL via the CJFL — Clark with the Regina Thunder and Harris with the Vancouver Island Raiders. Clark was born in Regina, and Harris was born in Winnipeg.

Former Roughriders and B.C. Lions running back Stu Foord is another Regina Thunder alumnus.

Orridge said that along with the combine, there will be several media and fan-related events throughout CFL Week in an effort to increase fan and media accessibility to coaches and players and to showcase the league’s players and their stories.

GREY CUP

Grey Cup to host You Can Play Party supporting LGBTQ community

T

ORONTO — The Canadian Football League is rolling out the rainbow carpet at the Grey Cup in Toronto.

The CFL and You Can Play will host an official party supporting the LGBTQ community for the first time in CFL history, on Nov. 25 — the Friday night of Grey Cup Weekend.

The celebration, in downtown Toronto, will be powered by global law firm Baker & McKenzie, and Striker Sports Bar — Canada’s first LGBTQ sports bar which opened in September.

“The Grey Cup is Canada’s biggest

annual party and everyone’s invited,” CFL commissioner Jeffrey L. Orridge said in a statement. “This event is going to be a whole lot of fun, and it’s another step we’re taking to ensure the CFL is a home for all fans. We’ve made a lot of progress on LGBTQ inclusion through our partnership with You Can Play, and we’re not done yet.”

The CFL is leading the way, Orridge said, in being a welcoming and inclusive league. The party will be a ticketed event and feature a midnight visit by the Grey Cup trophy.

EGINA — The CFL is breaking with 17 years of tradition and moving its biggest off-season event, the national players’ combine, west to Saskatchewan.

The league will host the combine as part of a new event called CFL Week from March 20-26 in Regina.

The combine has been held in Toronto since 2000.

CFL commissioner Jeffrey Orridge and Saskatchewan Roughriders CEO and president Craig Reynolds made the announcement Tuesday afternoon from the central prairie city.

Regina will be the first of many rotating stops for the combine and the larger CFL Week.

“We’ll start in Saskatchewan and the idea is to roll it out to other CFL cities,” Orridge said.

The three-day player combine has previously seen the likes of Saskatchewan defensive back Tevaughn Campbell (in his second CFL season) and Hamilton defensive lineman Justin Capiciotti (in his fifth).

Both were used in rotational defensive schemes throughout the season by the Roughriders and the Tiger-Cats.

The combine allows Canadian players to show off their athletic and football-specific skills to the league’s coaches in hopes of landing a roster spot on one of the league’s nine teams.

“I think the idea is to showcase these guys,” Orridge said. “Not only the guys that we have, but the new stars, the up-and-coming stars.”

University of Regina Rams head coach Steve Bryce said shifting the combine west will be a helpful boost for western-Canadian football players, not just those in Saskatchewan.

LeBron James scores 28 as Cavs edge the Raptors

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cavs 121 Raptors 117 LEVELAND — LeBron James had 28 points and 14 assists, Kyrie Irving scored 24 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors 121-117 on Tuesday night to match the best start in franchise history after 10 games.

It was another tense matchup between the teams who met in last season’s Eastern Conference finals and could get there again.

Channing Frye’s 3-pointer from the top of the key with 59 seconds left put the Cavs up by one. Cleveland then buckled down on defence, holding the Raptors scoreless until letting Kyle Lowry make a layup with 2.8 seconds left.

Kevin Love added 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Cavs, who are 9-1 for the first time since 1976-77.

Lowry scored 28 and DeMar DeRozan added 26 for the Raptors, who complained about fouls called against Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas in the final two minutes and a possible goaltending violation against the Cavs that wasn’t called in the closing seconds. Toronto came in 5-0 in games where Lowry and DeRozan combined for more than 50 points.

The Cavs made 13 3-pointers and have dropped at least 10 in all 10 games, extending their league record to start a season.

After DeRozan’s free throw put Toronto ahead 115-114, Frye knocked down his 3, and following a timeout, DeRozan missed a jumper. The Cavs called time with 41.3 seconds left and then ran a designed play for James, who got free for a layup to make it 119-115.

James extended the lead to five with a free throw and the Raptors missed several easy shots before Lowry’s layup got them within 120-117.

Cleveland’s Iman Shumpert closed the scoring with a free throw with 1.8 left.

The Raptors played without starting forward DeMarre Carroll, who

C

was given the night off to rest his surgically repaired knee.

Cavs guard J.R. Smith missed his second straight game with a sprained right ankle, leaving Cleveland without one of its top outside threats and top defenders.

DeRozan, the league’s leading scorer, took advantage of Smith’s absence and nearly posted another 30-point game before coming up short of matching Wilt Chamberlain (196263) as the only players to score at least 30 in nine of their first 10 games.

Down nine in the second quarter, the Raptors got back in it from long range as Terrence Ross, Norman Powell and Lowry drained 3s in a span of 39 seconds.

TIP-INS: Raptors: Toronto has been closely monitoring Carroll’s minutes as he continues to recover from right knee surgery. He also sat out Saturday’s game against New York. … With so many shooters, and James’ passing ability, the Cavs can stress defences to the max.

“They have that extra point guard on the floor in LeBron,” said Toronto coach Dwane Casey. “He finds people the normal human being doesn’t see.

It’s a challenge, but it’s nothing we haven’t seen before.”

Cavaliers: Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson sat next to Cleveland’s bench. … Coach Tyronn Lue is hopeful Smith can return for Wednesday’s game at Indiana. Smith needs three 3-pointers to pass Dirk Nowitzki for 15th place on the career list. … G/F Mike Dunleavy is off to a rough start in his first season with Cleveland.

Acquired from Chicago over the summer, Dunleavy is shooting just 29 per cent (8 of28). “We’re not worried about Mike,” Lue said. “He’s going to find his way.”

UP NEXT Raptors: Host Golden State on Wednesday, completing a back-toback against both teams from last season’s NBA Finals.

Cavaliers: Play at Indiana on Wednesday.

Tour going from lasers to cameras to track shots on greens

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

J

ACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The laser machines that have been tracing shots at PGA Tour events for more than a decade were getting old and needed to be replaced. That led tour officials to ask if there was a better method to collect data.

The answer was found in sophisticated video cameras.

It started with small cameras attached to poles on the sides of three greens at PGA Tour events during a testing phase toward the end of last season. As 2016 ends this week, cameras are being used on six greens at Sea Island for the RSM Classic.

“It would be easy to buy new lasers,” said Steve Evans, the tour’s senior vice president of information systems. “But would there be another way to collect data? And could we be collecting more than we’re collecting? What about using video cameras to translate what comes through video into data?”

ShotLink involves mapping golf courses and using lasers to show where each shot lands. That information generally allows for distance (how far off the tee, how close to the hole) and direction (fairway, rough, bunkers, greens).

The cameras bring motion into play, particularly with putting. It will allow for statistics on the percentage of putts that break left-to-right or right-to-left, whether the putt is downhill or uphill.

“From a data perspective, we can learn if uphill is harder or downhill is easier,” Evans said.

Evans said the cameras also can correct flaws with projected putting paths because it eliminates the assumption on how hard the ball must be struck.

“With this system, let’s say it’s a 30foot putt. We’ll know a foot off the putter how fast the ball is moving,” Evans said.

“It’s gives us a much more accurate projection on where it will end.”

With the cameras installed only at the green, there are some limitations.

The cameras can pick up the golf ball only as it approaches the green. Evans said if it proves worthwhile, cameras could be installed from the tees and along the fairways.

By tracking a ball in motion instead of where it comes to a rest, statistics would be available showing how much a ball rolls once it’s on the green. That would relate to the trajectory of the ball in its approach.

The tour hopes to have it in place in the first part of 2017, at which point Evans said it will work with broadcast partners and how to make the best use of the data.

WILLET & WESTWOOD: Masters champion Danny Willett decided not to play the World Cup next week in Australia to keep his back from act-

ing up.

That decision also knocked out his partner, Lee Westwood.

Willett was able to pick his partner as the highest-ranked player from England. When he withdrew, the spot first was offered to Justin Rose (he declined as he rests his back) and then to Chris Wood, who accepted. Wood was able to take his own partner, and he went with Andy Sullivan.

Willett said he thinks Westwood still should have been able to go.

“When the guys have booked their flights and done their things, I think it’s potentially not quite right just because one guy pulls out that it means the other guy has to kind of withdraw without having a say in it,” Willett said Tuesday. “I think you then just go down the list and see which guy potentially then wants to play. With such short notice, I don’t see why they have kind of completely switched it around and made it two brand-new guys.”

Willett said he has apologized to Westwood. They belong to the same management group.

“Westy has been pretty good about it and stuff like that,” he said. “So yeah, it was a shame, really, how it ended because we were both looking forward to going down there and pairing up.”

OGILVY’S PRAISE: Jordan Spieth is playing the Australian Open this week and is in the same group as Geoff Ogilvy and U.S. Amateur champion Curtis Luck.

Ogilvy loves the draw, mainly because of Spieth.

“More than anyone, he seems to always sign for one or two (shots) less than you think he should have,” Ogilvy said.

“That’s always the sign of a great player. Tiger was like that. He always seemed to sign for five less than he should have. Jordan is one of those guys who gets the best out of his round almost every time you play with him.”

FATHER AND SON: Jack Nicklaus has been playing the PNC Father-Son Challenge so long that his son is older than seven major champions in the field.

Nicklaus and his oldest son, 55-year-old Jackie, will be among 20 teams on Dec. 10-11 at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida.

It’s the one tournament Nicklaus won’t miss.

He is playing for the 15th time and calls it “one of the most anticipated events of the year for me.”

“I was looking at the incredible field they have assembled again this year, and I see several fathers you are actually younger than my son,” Nicklaus said. “At a combined age of 130 years, is it too late for us to ask for shots?”

Among the newcomers is John Daly, who will be playing with his 13-year-old son who goes by “Little John.”

Gaudreau’s goal halts Flames’ four-game skid

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Flames 1 Wild 0 T. PAUL, Minn. — Johnny Gaudreau’s goal early in the first period held up and Chad Johnson stopped 27 shots for Calgary’s first shutout of the season, fueling a 1-0 victory for the Flames over the Minnesota Wild that ended their four-game losing streak on Tuesday night.

Outscored 17-4 over the skid, with two of those goals from Gaudreau, Johnson and the Flames gave their NHL-worst goals against average a big boost.

Their scoring differential, now at minus-19, is last in the league.

Flames goalie Brian Elliott, formerly of the St. Louis Blues, has an 8-2 record with a 2.18 goals against average in 12 career games against the Wild, but Johnson got the call from coach Glen Gulutzan instead.

Devan Dubnyk made 26 saves for the Wild and has given up only nine goals in his last eight games, stopping 245 of 254 shots.

The Wild brought the NHL’s fifth-best penalty kill at 88.1 per cent into the game, but Gaudreau tallied the sixth power play goal against them this season just 6:05 into the game. Johnny Hockey made a slick move worthy of his intrepid nickname, snagging a lead pass from Mark Giordano and skating across the front of the goal mouth to get Dubnyk to go with him before tucking in a backhander for the lead.

S

That came just seconds after Mikko Koivu misfired on a breakaway shot. Jason Zucker and Mike Reilly each hit posts later in the game for the Wild, whose stretch of 10 games in 17 days didn’t start smoothly. They fell to 4-2 at home after their first contest at Xcel Energy Center in two weeks.

The game devolved into a slog of penalties and scuffles throughout the second period, spilling over into the third, and the Wild weren’t able to knock any shots past Johnson despite myriad scoring opportunities. They’ve allowed an NHL-low 29 goals in 15 games.

The Wild welcomed left wing Zach Parise back to the lineup after a six-game absence due to a lower-body injury that was unrelated to the back trouble that kept him out of the playoffs last spring, putting him on the third line with Erik Haula and Jason Pominville. Defenceman Marco Scandella, who was hurt in the same game as Parise on Oct. 27 at Buffalo, remains on long-term injured reserve with a high sprain of his right ankle.

For the Flames, left wing Matthew Tkachuk

returned from a wrist injury that kept him out for the last two games and joined Mikael Backlund and Michael Frolik on the second line as Gulutzan gave the NHL’s first team to 10 regulation losses a different look. Gaudreau was centred by Sean Monahan on the first line, with Troy Brouwer on the right wing.

NOTES: Johnson’s last shutout was Dec. 17, 2015, against Anaheim. … The Wild made rookie Joel Eriksson Ek a healthy scratch for the second game in a row. Eriksson Ek, who has two goals and three assists in nine games, could be sent back to his native Sweden for more playing time toward his development. … Parise had three goals and three assists, with a hat trick in one of the games, in three meetings with the Flames last season. He has 13 goals and eight assists in 18 career games against Calgary.

UP NEXT Calgary returns home to face Arizona on Wednesday night.

Minnesota hosts Boston on Thursday night.

Laine leads next generation of Finns

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

M

ore than two decades after the “Finnish Flash” took the NHL by storm, a generation of Finns is building on Teemu Selanne’s unforgettable legacy.

Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets leads the NHL in goals at age 18 and is at the forefront of Finland’s infusion of young talent. Between the Carolina Hurricanes’ Sebastian Aho, Florida Panthers’ Aleksander Barkov, Edmonton Oilers’ Jesse Puljujarvi and San Jose Sharks’ Joonas Donskoi, this is arguably the strongest wave of Finnish forwards the league has seen.

Finland has a proud hockey program that produced Selanne, brothers Saku and Mikko Koivu and plenty of star defensemen and elite goaltenders. Now the Scandinavian country of 5.5 million people is churning out some of the fastest and most skilled

young players around.

“There was a time, a couple of age groups, that we really didn’t have any superstars,” Finnish goaltender Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins said. “We really didn’t have any goal scorers or superstars coming. Now, it’s totally opposite. We have many of them coming up.”

Finland currently has as many NHL players (33) as it does indoor rinks, according to the International Ice Hockey Federation. By comparison, Canada has 3,250 rinks and the United States has 1,800.

“A country that big, you look at their sheer population and the numbers, it’s amazing the players they’re pumping out,” Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. “Developmentally, they’re doing something right over there that’s leading to the success because it’s amazing based on the sheer numbers what they’re doing.”

India struggles as millions descend on banks to swap currency

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

N

EW DELHI — India’s government said Tuesday it will use indelible ink to mark the fingers of people swapping scrapped currency notes at banks as authorities struggle to deal with the bedlam caused by the sudden demonetizing of the country’s highest-denomination bills.

India announced a week ago that it was withdrawing 500 and 1,000 rupee notes as legal tender to fight corruption and tax evasion.

However, people are allowed a onetime swap of 4,000 rupees ($59) at any bank in exchange for smaller notes to meet immediate needs.

Overwhelmed banks have been unable to ensure that people don’t line up more than once, since IDs such as drivers’ licenses and passports are not linked to bank or tax accounts.

Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said there have been reports of “unscrupulous people” who have organized groups of innocent people and sent them from bank to bank to swap old notes.

India also uses indelible ink to mark the fingers of voters after they cast their ballots in elections.

Larger amounts of demonetized

bills can be deposited in saving accounts before the end of the year.

However, people depositing big amounts are likely to find tax officials looking into their finances.

There are also limits to the amount that can be withdrawn from accounts and ATMs. Hundreds of millions of Indians do not have bank accounts and use only cash. Many small businesses accept only cash.

Banks have been swamped throughout the week as people have thronged to exchange currency notes or withdraw their weekly limit of 2,500 ($37) from ATMs. The government says it’s trying to rush the printing of new 500 and 2,000 rupee bank notes but hasn’t been able to keep up with demand.

Banks and ATMs run out of cash well before the end of work hours, leaving millions of people stranded without money.

The government says the demonetizing of big currency notes is expected to bring billions of dollars into the economy and tax base, long hobbled by corruption and money laundering.

Businesses routinely use cash to avoid paying taxes.

Raids on corrupt politicians and businesses regularly uncover large stashes of money.

Canadian Real Estate Association says home sales hit record last month

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

O

TTAWA — The Canadian Real Estate Association says the number of homes sold last month throughout the country hit a record for the month of October.

The association says the number of homes sold through its Multiple Listing Service in October was up two per cent year-over-year and 2.4 per cent from September.

Sales were up in about 60 per cent of all local markets, led by the Fraser Valley in B.C., Calgary, Edmonton, the Hamilton-Burlington region in Ontario and Montreal. The actual national average price for a home sold in October was $481,994, up 5.9 per cent compared with a year ago.

Indians stand in a queue to deposit and exchange discontinued currency notes, outside a bank in New Delhi, India, this past Sunday. Chaotic scenes played out across India over the past weekend, with long lines growing even longer and scuffles breaking out, as millions of anxious people tried to change old currency notes that became worthless days earlier when the government demonetized high-value bills.

MARKETS CLOSE TO R O N TO — C a n a da’s biggest stock market strengthened Tuesday amid a rally in crude prices sparked by growing prospects that OPEC members will reach a deal on capping oil production later this month.

In Toronto, the S&P/TSX composite index gained 157.65 points, or one per cent, at 14,756.10.

Gold, energy and materials led advancers on the commodity-heavy exchange for a second day. The gold sector was up 3.58 per cent, energy gained 3.44 per cent and materials jumped 2.74 per cent.

The increase in oil prices was attributed to a media report that energy ministers from Saudi Arabia and Russia were set to meet this week to talk about a potential cap on crude production, ahead of a meeting by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries on Nov. 30.

The 14-member OPEC had announced in September that its members have agreed to a production cut in principle, with details to be hammered out at its official meeting at the end of the month.

Investors found solace in the possibility that OPEC member Saudi Arabia may be talking with non-OPEC member Russia as a hopeful measure that will get other OPEC members to sign on to a deal.

“Any time there is a discussion, it’s akin to a handshake on a maybe,” said Ben Jang, a portfolio manager at Nicola Wealth Management.

The December crude oil contract spiked more than five per cent, adding $2.49 to US$45.81 per barrel.

Jang said the possibility of an OPEC deal is “obviously it’s good, constructive news, but potentially the markets are getting ahead of themselves here.”

In New York, markets were

In commodities, the December gold contract rose $2.80 at US$1,224.50 an ounce.

Jang said the optimism in gold continues to be driven by the “uncertainty factor” arising from a Donald Trump U.S. presidency, which makes perceived safe havens like bullion more attractive to investors.

Most of the questions swirl around if Trump will carry through with his major infrastructure spending plans, or his proposed regulatory changes to the health and

banking sectors.

“We’ve seen more uncertainty across the board and when you have uncertainty, gold will move higher,” said Jang.

Alberta natural gas shippers that want to use its Canadian Mainline system. The company says the “open season” resulted in bids that fell well short of the volumes required to make the plan viable.

The Canadian Mainline system extends from the Empress receipt point in Alberta to the Dawn hub, near Sarnia, Ont. The proposal for a new round of binding commitments did not affect current contracts already in place for the system.

TransCanada says the Canadian Mainline system continues to be commercially supported and an important piece of energy infrastructure.

Now you can visit the Rolling Stones’ 1962 apartment ers.

“None of it made me cry particularly. Some of it made me laugh,” Jagger said of the memorabilia.

The exhibit runs in New York through March 12, 2017. Some of the pieces are works by Andy Warhol, Alexander McQueen and John Pasche, who designed the Stones’ iconic tongue logo.

“It’s like bumping into memories everywhere you look for me,” Richards said. “You turn the corner (and say), ‘Oh, that’s where I left it. Whether it’s a guitar or a piece of clothing, everything sort of rings a bell somewhere.”

Ronnie Wood, who joined the group in 1975, said he enjoyed seeing the “little motifs” throughout the exhibit, and added that one of his favourite memories was joining the band for his first public performance — on his birthday.

“I had to learn the entire Stones back catalogue to get ready to go onstage on June 1, my birthday, for my first public show with them,” he said, smiling.

Of his highlights, Richards said, laughing: “I can pick out a few lows but we won’t bother with them, but otherwise, it’s been pretty much a high all the time.”

The Stones will release a new album of blues cover songs called Blue & Lonesome on Dec. 2. When asked what his future goals are for the band, Watts said: “Staying alive I think is the biggest thing at the moment, or getting up in the morning.”

1892 axe murders: Lizzie Borden thriller filming in Savannah

Experts disagree on authenticity of new Van Gogh sketches

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country singer Holly Dunn, a San Antonio native who had a hit in 1986 with Daddy’s Hands, about her minister father, has died. She was 59.

Dunn died Monday in hospice care in Albuquerque, New Mexico, according to June Keys, the manager at the Pena-Dunn Gallery in Santa Fe, where Dunn’s paintings were displayed. Dunn announced earlier this year she was battling ovarian cancer.

The Grammy-nominated Dunn was the Academy of Country Music’s top new female vocalist in 1986 and was named most promising newcomer by the

SAVANNAH, Ga. — Filming is underway in Savannah, Georgia, for the psychological thriller Lizzie, which stars Chloe Sevigny as Lizzie Borden.

The film centres on the true events surrounding the infamous axe murders of Borden’s father and stepmother in Massachusetts in 1892. Lizzie Borden was tried and acquitted for the killings, and no one else was ever charged.

The film also stars Kristen Stewart as Bridget Sullivan, the Bordens’ live-in maid and witness to the slayings. The film is under the direction of Craig William Macneill, who gained attention with The Boy. Beth Nelson, executive director of Savan-

PARIS — Art experts are disagreeing as to whether a book of previously unpublished drawings reported to be by Dutch master Vincent Van Gogh is authentic or fake.

The book, The Lost Arles Sketchbook, collated by eminent Canadian art historian Bogomila WelshOvcharov, is being published internationally after reportedly being found in the southern French city of Arles near a hotel where Van Gogh used to stay.

Welsh-Ovcharov said the sketches appeared in an account book belonging to Mister and Missus Ginoux, owners of the “Cafe de la Gare,” to whom Van Gogh gave numerous works.

EW YORK — When Mick Jagger was coming up with ideas for an exhibition highlighting The Rolling Stones’ five-decade long career, he wanted to re-create the mood of the band in its early years.

So, he had a team re-create the first London apartment he and his band mates shared in 1962, complete with dirty dishes, beer bottles and blues records placed throughout the flat.

“That was the weirdest thing really. … The building is still there — it’s not a building that’s been knocked down or anything, it’s right around the corner from where I actually live now,” Jagger said. “It’s very redolent of the space … and it smells like it and feels like it.

“I just remembered how it really was,” he added.

“There were a lot of places like that in the early ’60s … you wouldn’t want to live there now,” Charlie Watts said.

The Stones also re-created their recording studio, complete with original instruments, for Exhibitionism — The Rolling Stones, the band’s exhibit that debuted at Industria in New York City on Saturday after launching in London earlier this year.

It includes colorful tour outfits, Jagger’s lyric book, Keith Richards’ 1963 diary, Watts’ toy drum kit and various photographs, from posters to magazine cov-

COYOTE TALES

Riel was a good leader who never backed down T

here has been a lot of talk over the past few months about leadership due to the recent election decision in the U.S., which is not to say that I think leadership and politics are the same thing. When I was in university taking leadership studies I couldn’t understand why I had to spend money taking a post-graduate in ethics. I figure that anyone TANYA class that graduated from kindergarten WARD- had that one wrapped up.

Recent days showed me how wrong SCHUR I was! To me a good leader is ethical, not necessarily perfect, but honest. A good leader sacrifices for the people and serves the people.

It seems fitting that during National Métis Awareness week (November 14-18) I talk about one of my role models, Louis Riel.

His leadership has inspired me to continue to work for the good of the indigenous people and their distinct culture, traditions, language and right to self determination.

Who are the Métis? During the 18th century and the beginning of the fur trade in west central North America a growing number of mixed off spring

of Indian women and European fur traders were born. From these families a new aboriginal people emerged with their own unique culture, traditions, language (Michif), way of life, and understanding of nationhood. The Métis National Council definition::“Métis” means a person who self-identifies as Métis, is distinct from other Aboriginal peoples, is of historic Métis Nation Ancestry and who is accepted by the Métis Nation.” Louis Riel was one of most noted and controversial Métis leaders.

Now if you’re my age, you might have been told in Social Studies class that Louis Riel was a traitor and was hung for his crimes on November 16, 1885.

But that’s not the story told in my Métis home.

If you grew up in a Métis home, you know what I’m talking about. I can say this, that if I had to make a choice to follow a leader I’d pick one that has proved that he/she has a good heart and a fierce commitment to the people. Riel never backed down, and never gave up. He left a legacy that is honoured by indigenous and Non-indigenous people. The history books rarely got our story right. I have relatives that tell a very different story than the one recorded in the history books.

Whether you believe Louis Riel was a traitor or a saviour he was a strong voice for the Métis people during a difficult time in Canadian history and was largely responsible for Manitoba becoming part of

Confederation.

Riel wasn’t perfect, but his love for his people and deep spiritual beliefs gave him strength to protect the distinct Métis way of life. He was instrumental in forming the Métis provisional government in Manitoba and Saskatchewan that became the contemporary governing bodies at national, regional, and local levels in existence today.

The Métis Nation of Alberta, originated in 1928.

It is the Métis Government for Alberta Métis people of whom approximately 30,000 are currently registered with another 10,000 plus applicants in the process of review.

The MNA is governed through a provincial council which is made up of an elected provincial president and vice president and six regional Presidents and Vice Presidents, each elected by their regions.

Métis Local #492, Red Deer and Stettler is located in Region 3 and meets the third Sunday of every month. If you are interested in joining the Métis Local please president, Raye St. Denys at 403-346-9794 National Métis Awareness Week is being celebrated November 14 to 18, and the Metis Local is providing a Métis Traditional dinner with the Penhold Optimist Club on November 16.

SOMETHING TO CHEW ON

How to stay healthy when travelling KRISTEN FRASER

alcohol consumption and eating all kinds of street foods, fried foods and unhealthy choices.

The typical vacation plethora. Here’s some tips when travelling to maintain your health.

1. Morning workouts. Eight minute workout apps are a true hit. Getting in a morning sweat is key and no need for big days at the gym. Remember, consistency is better than longevity.

If you can commit to doing these in the mornings, your days will be better spent and enjoyed with a more positive frame of mind to enjoy all the sites you are taking in.

If you don’t have a buddy, get up 15 minutes before anyone else to get this in. It truly sets the tone for your day.

2. Drink lots of water. Pack water bottles with you to ensure you are staying hydrated in order to avoid excess eating.

3. Have your emergency essential oils on hand: Lavender for any cuts and scratches, tea tree for a disinfectant, peppermint to stay fresh midday by rubbing on your temples and around your neck.

Oil of oregano is a good one to have on hand to aid in digestion and acts as a good antibacterial agent.

And a few drops of grapefruit essential oil in a sparkling water not only adds some beautiful flavor, but helps ward off pathogens as well.

YOU DOCS

Helping you recover from nutrition-info whiplash F

eeling whiplashed when it comes to sorting nutritional fact from fad? First you hear, “It’s fat that’s bad for you, not sugar!” Then, “No, sugar is bad, not fat!” You’re not alone. Almost three-quarters of folks surveyed

by California researchers reported Drs. that they’d heard “moderate or high Roizen & levels of contradictory information about nutrition.” They said it made Oz them doubt health recommendations, making them less likely to be physically active or to eat healthfully.

One glaring example of why so many folks continue to feel bewildered by the health info they hear is the “Confusion Campaign” launched by the sugar industry to deflect health concerns away from their product and onto fat, and lack of physical activity.

A new study in JAMA Internal Medicine says that in the mid-1960s, the Sugar Research Foundation made a concerted effort to obscure emerging data that excess consumption of added sugar was a serious risk factor for heart disease. They sponsored a coronary heart disease research project that was kicked off with a literature review published in the New England Journal of Medicine. That review singled out fat and cholesterol as the dietary causes of coronary heart disease and downplayed evidence that sucrose consumption was also a risk factor.

The current JAMA article then says: “The SRF

set the review’s objective, contributed articles for inclusion, and received drafts. The SRF’s funding and role was not disclosed … our findings suggest the [sugar] industry sponsored a research program in the 1960s and 1970s that successfully cast doubt about the hazards of sucrose while promoting fat as the dietary culprit in coronary heart disease.”

Ouch! Now we know (and it isn’t based on dubious research or purchased opinions) that added sugar and sugar syrups, like high fructose corn syrup, are a huge factor in developing obesity, heart disease, some cancers, dementia, diabetes, and a lousy sex life.

But don’t think that lets unhealthy fats off the hook! True, fat can be a major source of energy, helps you absorb vitamins and minerals, and keeps cell membranes and nerve endings healthy. But not all fats are healthful. Trans and man-made fats are never good for you. For every 2 per cent of calories from trans fat consumed daily, your heart disease risk jumps by an astounding 23 per cent.

Mono- and unsaturated fats, like DHA and ALA omega-3s and the omega-9 in extra-virgin olive oil, are good for you.

They help clear out artery-clogging lousy LDL cholesterol and protect the brain! That’s why studies show a low-carb diet with lots of protein and some fats can reduce heart disease risk — but only if the fat is mostly from plant sources!

What about saturated fat? It’s in many vegetables in tiny amounts, so even vegans get a little, and

that’s OK. But when taken in excess, we know sat fat (and the substances that come along with it) promotes inflammation, clogs arteries and taxes the liver. Foods like beef, other animal protein, fullfat dairy and processed meats are overloaded with it and deliver additional health risks. They can change your gut bacteria to produce inflammatory substances like trimethylamine and increase your risk of breast and prostate cancer, heart disease, stroke and diabetes. That’s why meat eaters should take a page from the Mediterranean Diet and eat lean animal protein only as a side dish once a week.

Facts You Can Count On: Every day we offer you reliable health tips to provide you with a roadmap to younger and healthier RealAge. Focus on these simple guidelines, and you’ll banish confusion and feel healthier every day! ● Avoid the Five Food Felons: all trans and most saturated fats, all added sugars and sugar syrups, and any grain that isn’t 100 per cent whole. Opt for 5 to 9 servings of fruits and veggies daily. ● Get in 10,000 steps a day, no excuses, along with two to three 30-minute, strength-building sessions weekly, and 10 minutes of meditation daily. ✭✭✭ Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of The Dr. Oz Show, and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

5. Choose activities that require some physical activity 6. Don’t forget to nap. This is key. Your vacation is meant to be enjoyed and napping or just “being” is all a part of that. Give yourself permission to unwind and relax.

Be sure to take some time to yourself each evening to reflect on your day. Being present on vaca-

announcements LOWEN, Patricia Mary Mar. 31, 1924 - Nov. 8, 2016 Patricia Mary Lowen passed away peacefully at the age of 92, with her family by her side, in Ladysmith, B.C. Paddy was born to Harold and Agnes Johnson in Stratford on Avon, England.

Her family emigrated to Canada and eventually settled in Kelowna B.C. where she spent her youth.

Paddy received her nursing degree at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria B.C., and soon after met her beloved husband Bill. Together they raised four boys, living in Belleville, Ontario and Red Deer, Alberta. Paddy practised nursing in both cities, becoming head nurse in Red Deer General’s recovery room until retiring to Chemainus B.C. We will all remember Paddy’s unwavering love for Bill and her family, her devotion to friends and community, and her great sense of humour.

Paddy was predeceased by her husband Bill, daughter-inlaw Corrine, sisters Monica and Clare. She is survived by sister Dorothy; brothers Henry, John, and Jeff; sons Don, Steve (Wynona), Tom (Barbara), and Jim; along with several beautiful great-grandchildren, grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Chemainus United Church, 9814 Willow Street, hosted a memorial service on Sunday, November 13.

HEWLETT, Gwen 1925 - 2016 Gwendolyn Erina Hewlett (nee Donogh) was born to Reverend Wallace and Mabel (Ashworth) Donogh on May 11, 1925 in Vita, Manitoba and passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 25, 2016 in Coquitlam, British Columbia.

In 1944 Gwen married R.C.A.F. pilot (SNIP) Alfred Hewlett. Shortly after, they moved to Red Deer, Alberta to begin a life of adventure in the seed business.

Active in Gaetz Memorial United Church since 1948, Gwen served as Sunday school teacher, messenger leader, board member, and was in the choir for fifty-three years. She was also a member of the WMS and WA, later known as United Church Women, and the AOTS. She and Al were also founding members of the Couples Club. In later years she spent many laughing hours with the Gaetz Red Hatters, where she was dubbed “Lady Radiant Grasshopper.”

A seasoned traveller, she and Al drove from one coast of Canada to the other, strolled the streets of Tuscany, walked in the footsteps of the Inca, and explored markets in the Philippines. In her eighties, she fulfilled the dream of visiting Greece with her good friend Jean Elvers. Gwen’s interest in other cultures included sponsoring refugees to Canada, along with the church, and she became an honorary elder in several Vietnamese families.

She gave to others throughout her life, from childhood, when she removed her shoelaces to give to a child who had none, through to her recent hospital stays, when she extended the hand of friendship to other patients and was fascinated by their stories of distant homelands.

Most of all, she was a devoted mother and grandmother.

Nothing gave her more joy than having the family gather around. She will be missed and she will be celebrated every time her jokes and words of wisdom are repeated, her recipes re-created, and her kindness is paid forward.

Gwen was predeceased by two sons, Donald and Jimmy Hewlett, her parents, brothers Roland (WWII), Gordon, and Norman, sister Lorraine, and her dearly beloved Al (1997).

She is survived by her daughter Kathryn (Claus), sons Douglas (Sharon) and Kenneth (Glynis); grandchildren Mark, Nadine (Simon), Thomas, Amour (Michael), Shamus (Danielle) and Kelsey (Lorrine); and great-grandchildren Josh, Morgan, Roarke, Griffin, Sam, Aidan, and Leo. A Memorial service will be held at Gaetz Memorial United Church 4758-50 St, Red Deer, at 1 pm on Saturday, November 19, 2016. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Fund or a fund of donors’ choice would be appreciated.

Annie’s Mailbox

Shame on people who make rude remarks D

ear Annie: I’m a woman in my early 50s. Eight years ago, I began having messy bathroom-related accidents in my car after eating in restaurants. Doctors confirmed I had an allergy to gluten — which made sense, seeing as one of my parents has it and I had usually just consumed wheat before having an Annie attack in the car.

Many restaurants and supermarLane kets are very accommodating. The hardest part is dealing with regular snide comments about my gluten-free diet — people saying I’m just being trendy and I’ll get over it.

I’m sure a lot of people are avoiding wheat by choice, but some of us have to do it out of necessity.

Please tell your readers to be more discerning. — Frustrated in Framingham Dear Frustrated: It sounds as if the people making these remarks have some intolerance issues of their own. Gluten-related disorders, such as celiac disease, are very real. Just because some fad dieters have gravitated toward a gluten-free trend doesn’t make it OK to dismiss the issue. Your diet is between you and your doctor. If anyone else wants to judge you, he or she should first walk a mile with

your stomach issues.

Dear Annie: I don’t know what to do.

I recently retired. My husband is still working.

In the past few years, he has started playing a computer game. This is not one of the ones that involve other players; it involves only him. At first, he did it for only an hour or two. Now he starts when he gets home from work and plays until bedtime, usually only stopping for dinner. On weekends, except for mowing the lawn and doing a few other tasks, he plays from morning until bed.

He has no interest in doing any of the things we used to do, and I am worried about the future when he retires. We once talked about all the things we could do when we are both retired, but I can’t see that happening anymore. He used to be good company; we used to go places and do things together.

I have many interests and outside activities, but I miss the man I married. I am very sad and not looking forward to a future of this. He refuses to consider counseling, saying that I am the one with a problem. I guess that is true, because he is apparently happy with the game. Do you have any suggestions?

— Lonely Dear Lonely: Your husband is playing a losing game with addiction. Seeing as he’s defensive and insistent that he doesn’t have a problem, you might try shifting the focus to your marriage and the way

his behavior is impacting you. Then suggest marriage counseling. An objective third-party might be the game changer he needs.

I would also recommend contacting On-Line Gamers Anonymous. It offers help for people in your position. One of the first things it emphasizes is to stop enabling the gamer’s problematic behavior. “This means refraining from doing anything that makes their life comfortable while they game, such as bringing them meals at the computer,” the group says. Visit http://www.olganon.org for more information.

Dear Annie: There was no response to “Knight’s” letter from you in our local paper, so I am sending one.

How chivalrous he is — and self-centered. Many men who “pay” expect something in return that a woman might not care to offer. Quid pro quo. This is not about commitment. It is about power, control, intimidation and manipulation. Treating someone should not be about you; it should be about the other person. If your date chooses to not accept your offer, it doesn’t say anything about you; it says something about the comfort level of your date. — Not a Fan Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Twitter adds new options to curb abuse, harassment

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

N

EW YORK — Twitter, long criticized as a hotbed for online harassment, is expanding ways to curb the amount of abuse users see and making it easier to report such conduct.

Twitter said Tuesday that it is expanding a “mute” function that lets people mute accounts they don’t want to see tweets from. Now, users will be able to mute keywords, phrases and conversa-

tions they don’t want to get notifications about. Users who decide to mute things won’t see them.

The words, phrases and conversations will continue to exist on Twitter, and anyone who doesn’t mute them will continue to see them. But the company is also making it easier to report hateful conduct, and said it has re-trained its support teams about its policies and hateful conduct.

Abuse can easily spread on Twitter due to its public, real-time nature, where tweets are easily amplified by retweets and users can easily and openly attack others. While Twitter prohibits “spe-

cific conduct that targets people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease,” this policy has not been enough to stomp out abuse.

Not even celebrities are immune. Over the summer, Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones publicly abandoned Twitter after becoming the target of sexist and racist abuse on the service. She has since returned.

Twitter has been trying to get a handle on its Wild West reputation as a haven for online harassment and abuse.

word as you seek out colleagues, friends and acquaintances. It’s not what you know — it’s who you know. So make the most of your networking skills today Twins.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’re in the mood to dream the day away but don’t overdo it Crabs. Keep a firm grip on reality, otherwise you could delude yourself about a person or situation. Creative projects are favoured.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Restless Lions — you’re incredibly busy but are you actually achieving anything? If you rush around too much then you’ll make mistakes and have to redo things later on. So pace yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Moon’s moving through your career/reputation zone, so it’s time for Virgos to stand out professionally and shine in the public spotlight.

Don’t neglect loved ones in the process though.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A community project is taking up a lot of your time but it is well worth the effort and will pay off in the long run. The more you share activities with others, the more enjoyable the day will be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pay close attention to your nightly dreams Scorpio. They are sending you creative ideas that will help you heal a relationship or solve a tricky

problem. Study and research are also highlighted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Companionship and sharing are on your mind today, as you get talking with your nearest and dearest. But be careful someone doesn’t misinterpret what you say. Choose your words wisely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t just focus on cold hard facts. Creativity is favoured, as your intuition kicks into gear. So don’t waste the opportunity to connect with your inner muse and express yourself today Capricorn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Shake off the mental cobwebs today. Utilize your brainpower as you embark on a big adventure, get passionate about an innovative project or communicate your ideas as creatively as possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): With the Moon moving through your domestic zone, it’s time to spruce up Casa Pisces with cleaning, redecorating or DIY projects. Family members could do with some extra TLC too!
