Between the first and second period Sylvan Lake hockey fans went wild when their image was playing on the big screen TV outside the Sylvan Lake Multiplex on Wednesday during the Kraft Hockeyville celebration. Inside the Multiplex the Arizona Coyotes and the Calgary Flames were playing a preseason game. BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF SYLVAN LAKE — This was the centre of the hockey universe on Wednesday. If it was ever in doubt, the appearance of NHL broadcasting legend Don Cherry at a special Kraft Hockeyville-organized pre-game tilt between the Calgary Flames and Arizona Coyotes at the town arena made it official. Nattily attired as always — this time in a red and green plaid suit — Cherry wasted no time in making friends. “This place here is Canada as far as I’m concerned,” Cherry proclaimed to thunderous cheers from a standing room-only crowd of about 1,000. Outside, at least another 1,000 gathered to watch the game on a big screen from the comfort of their lawn chairs. The area around the rink was turned into a giant street party, with games, food, music and plenty of free swag courtesy of the Calgary Flames and Kraft Canada. “It’s awesome. We’re really loving it,” said Angela Kosolofski, who brought her son, niece and nephew down. They came prepared with lawn chair and a blanket for the big game, which started shortly be-

fore 5:30 p.m. Brandee O’Toole was one of a group of nine adults and youngsters that were gathering downtown. She was one of the lucky ticket winners and passed it on to her 16-year-old daughter who was “totally pumped” to get in to the game. FOR MORE HOCKEYVILLE “She’s taking her boy- COVERAGE SEE PAGE B1 friend, who’s a big Calgary Flames fan.” Jon Caines was even luckier. He was walking around the site with his son Trent, five, and daughter Hannah, nine, when an NHL representative offered them free game tickets. “We’re having a great time of course,” said Jon. “It’s exciting.” The family also took in last Sunday’s Fun Day, which drew about 1,000. Hannah said the bouncy castle was her favourite activity but has enjoyed the whole experience. “I like how the town came all together,” she said. Brandon Slade, 10, was another lucky game ticket holder after his mom’s name was chosen in the lottery. “It was great because it’s a one-in-a-lifetimething,” he said as he headed into the arena. Zach Daniels, 13, was also in the stands.

“I thought it was cool to see the NHL on our ice,” said the Bantam AA player. “It’s awesome. TV doesn’t even come close to watching it live.” Sylvan Lake was crowned Kraft Hockeyville by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman in a ceremony last April. The town received more than 2.5 million votes defeating runner up Kingston, N.S. by 108,164 votes. It was the result of a huge community volunteer effort. At the centre of the town’s bid was its compelling tale of misfortune — losing one of its two arenas to a snow-laden roof collapse in January. Gayle White came to Wednesday’s game prepared in hopes of catching Don Cherry’s eye. She sported a large sandwich board that said: “Don Cherry you tell no lies when it comes to hockey you are so wise.” Her homage to “Grapes” did not go unnoticed by the colourful personality, who pointed her out to TV cameras. White said Hockeyville and the collapse of the arena showed the community’s spirit. Down to one arena, families scrambled to car pool to take youngsters to surrounding arenas.

Multi-family housing gets the green light PLANNED BUILDING WOULD ALSO INCLUDE CULTURAL CENTRE BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

RED DEER NATIVE FRIENDSHIP CENTRE SOCIETY

The Red Deer Native Friendship Centre Society’s planned multi-family housing building and cultural centre has been given the green light. The centre will be located east of Lions Campground on Riverside Drive. This week the city’s subdivision and development appeal board overturned an earlier decision which had denied the application. It was turned down in August because it was 300 metres within non-operating landfill site which is prohibited under the Municipal Government Act

Subdivision and Development Regulations. The society plans to build a three-storey multi-family building including a cultural centre and 16 multi-attached residential dwellings on 4615 Riverside Drive. According to hearing documents, both the appellant and development authority agreed that any risk due to the old landfill was negligible. Studies conducted showed that there were no significant concentrations of soil vapour or concerns for the environmental quality of groundwater. There

will be no use of ground water. The proposed development will connect to city servicing. Design strategies were incorporated to mitigate any potential risk of flooding. The appeal board approved the development with 12 conditions including providing an erosion control plan and build a 1.5 metre pedestrian sidewalk along the east side of Riverside Drive from the corner of the adjacent transit stop. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

STORY FROM PAGE A1

HOCKEYVILLE: Really came together “The town really came together.” Besides the perk of hosting a pre-season NHL game, the town received $100,000, which has already been earmarked for a new $30-million multiplex. Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre was enthusiastic about the local response to its challenges. “It’s totally incredible. The volunteers have done an amazing job on bringing the community together,” said the mayor, decked out in a Kraft Hockeyville souvenir game jersey. “We’re so grateful for the game. We’re so grateful for the $100,000. But the real win, the real benefit to us is the community spirit.” Kraft Canada’s Irene Daley applauded Sylvan Lake’s effort. “I’m from Edmonton and just coming back to Alberta and seeing the passion and spirit of Sylvan Lake is just incredible,” said Daley, director of portfolio marketing. “For them to support a program like Kraft Hockeyville, is really a testament to this community and how passionate they are about hockey, and more importantly, how passionate they are about their community.” pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Fortunate couple pay it forward

FALLING FOR LEAVES

MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF A woman’s got to do what a woman’s got to do. So Twila Varga helped her husband Darren pick National Football League results for a recent Sport Select lottery ticket. The result, combined with what they believe was a little luck from paying it forward all summer, won the Red Deer couple $60,000. Darren said that he and Twila decided to work on a Sport Select ticket as they drove home from Edmonton recently because “We’ve had good karma and we’ve been paying it forward.” Sport Select involves wagering on professional sports games, trying to predict the outcomes. Being a sports fan and therefore knowledgeable about sports could be helpful. Earlier in the summer, Twila was at a local coffee outlet when someone handed her a card that said: ”Pay it forward.” So she did — she bought someone a coffee that day. As summer passed, whenever they did something similar, paying it forward got to be a bit of a fun joke between them, said Darren. As they drove from Edmonton it was the first time Twila had ever done football picks on pools with him. Twila ended up choosing a lot of the winning teams. They got 14 of 15 results correct on the team selections. It might be some time before he lives down the fact Twila did so well. “Oh you know it,” he said. Darren has been playing Sport Select for a long time. Is Twila a sports fan? “Oh no. Not at all,” said Darren. “She might be now though.” The good karma generated from paying it forward worked, he said. “All of a sudden we won 60 grand.” “Holy smokes! We’re really liking the idea of paying it forward.” The couple, both age 45, received a quarter of a larger pool split with three other winners. Darren picked up the money on Friday in St. Albert. It was from a draw two weekends ago. They plan to continue paying it forward, he said, and have a few plans such as maybe attending the wedding in Jamaica of some friends and paying off a vehicle. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

CANADIAN SOMALI CONGRESS WESTERN CANADA

EDMONTON — The leader of a Somali group has written to the prime minister warning that young people in Alberta are being recruited to become fighters for the radical group ISIL. In his letter, Mahamad Accord says he has solid sources, including elders, who say youths from the Somali community as young as 16 have signed up to become terrorist soldiers. “Parents of these young men and women are extremely worried about this terrorist group and the fact that their sympathizers are recruiting our youth to fight in this losing war,” he wrote in his letter to Stephen Harper dated Sept. 15. The extremely violent ISIL insurgency, also known as ISIS, broke out earlier this year, taking control of cities and land in parts of Iraq and Syria. In an interview Wednesday, Accord, who is president of the Edmonton-based Canadian Somali Congress Western Canada, said he doesn’t have any hard numbers on how many young people have been recruited. He declined to give any names of people who have been recruited or their families, citing privacy concerns. Accord said some youths who have left their families have called home from countries such as Turkey without any explanation. In his letter, he asks the prime minister for programs to reach out to disaffected Somali youth to counter ISIL recruiters. “It is time to implement an alternative strategy that would safeguard our safety and security,” he said. “We need resources to counter these terrorists. “Our strategy is detect early and prevent to protect vulnerable youth from being drawn into terrorism.” Accord estimates there are about 35,000 people of Somali descent living

in Alberta, including about 15,000 in Edmonton. He said most are moderate and hard-working Muslims who despise and reject ISIL and other terror groups. Accord said the Somali community wants to work with Canadian authorities and police to fight against these extremists. “We cannot sit idly to see these criminals putting our young lives at risk and becoming a pawn for ISIS terrorists.” An official with the Prime Minister’s Office responded to a request for comment on Accord’s letter by noting the Conservative government is a proud partner in the global fight against terrorism. “And we have given security agencies a number of tools to combat terrorism and continue protecting lawabiding Canadian families from those who would seek to do them harm,” Carl Vallee, Harper’s press secretary, wrote in an email. “Despite the objections of the Liberals and NDP, our government recently passed legislation that would allow for Canadian citizenship to be revoked from dual-nationals who engage in the most serious crimes including acts of terrorism. “In addition, we passed the Combating Terrorism Act and introduced Canada’s first counterterrorism strategy — a four-pronged approach to prevent, detect, deny resources and respond to terrorist activity and threats.” Vallee’s response did not mention Accord’s letter or some of the specific points it raises about the need for programs and resources to reach out to disaffected Somali youth in Canada. Last month a prominent imam of the Islamic Supreme Council in Calgary went on a 48-hour hunger strike to raise awareness that ISIL is not a part of the Muslim community.

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Jim Prentice promised Wednesday to do away with government cronyism and defended himself against renewed criticism that he has broken that dictum by hiring his campaign co-manager, Jay Hill. Prentice said hiring Hill last week as one of three new senior trade representatives is different. “These people were carefully selected as the most qualified people for the position,” Prentice told a legislature news conference. “These are three people who are very close to cabinet (and) to the premier in terms of executing the agenda of the government. “I don’t view them as comparable to someone who is appointed to a board or an agency.” Prentice delivered more details on the legislation he plans to introduce in the fall session to eradicate the spending and entitlement scandals that mortally wounded the administration of former premier Alison Redford. Prentice said his new Accountability Act will put an end to so-called sweetheart pay and severance deals for political staffers. There will be new rules on handing out sole-source government contracts. A pre-qualified list of companies will be struck that can be hired by the government when emergency situations don’t allow time to solicit competing bids. There will also be rules to prevent “stacking,” whereby a company receives so many small untendered contracts it then becomes, in essence, one big untendered payout. Prentice said his cabinet will appoint people to boards and agencies strictly on merit and not on political or personal ties. He said that doesn’t mean people with political contacts are automatically excluded. “Some people may have been involved in a political party in the past. Could be one of a number of political parties,” said Prentice. “That should not preclude them from serving in a position of public trust. But it should also not be the criteria by which they are selected.” Last week, along with the Hill appointment, Prentice also named former Conservative MP Rob Merrifield to be Alberta’s senior trade represen-

tative for the U.S. Merrifield publicly supported Prentice during his leadership campaign. Career diplomat Ron Hoffmann was named to a similar post for Asia. NDP Leader Brian Mason said it’s clear that Prentice will be four-square against favouritism once his favourites are in place. “We will be keeping a close eye on further appointments that may take place before the (Accountability) Act is implemented,” said Mason. Wildrose critic Rob Anderson was equally skeptical. “In his very first days in office, Mr. Prentice made a series of patronage appointments for his campaign staff, friends and inner circle, yet somehow we’re supposed to believe he means business on introducing merit-based hiring and ending patronage,” said Anderson. Fixing entitlements was one of the cornerstone policies of Prentice’s leadership campaign, which culminated with his first ballot victory on Sept. 6 to become the new Progressive Conservative party leader and premier. Redford quit as premier in March, and resigned from politics altogether in August due to revelations she abused public resources for personal gain. Auditor General Merwan Saher reported that Redford used government planes for personal use and even flew her daughter and her daughter’s friends around at taxpayers’ expense. Redford was also found to have been constructing a pricey penthouse retreat for her use atop a government building. It was one of many scandals that sent the Tories plummeting in the polls earlier this year and evaporated support for Redford in caucus and the party. The pay revelations fell like hammer blows: Redford’s chief of staff Farouk Adatia was pulling in $357,000 in salary and benefits in 2013; Gary Mar, one-time Redford rival, was making $322,000 in salary and benefits as Alberta’s trade representative in Hong Kong. When Redford resigned as premier, nine members of her inner circle went with her, pocketing $1.1 million in severance. The Tories have also been criticized under Redford for doling out more than $200 million in untendered contracts to respond quickly to the floods that devastated parts of Calgary and southern Alberta in 2013.

COMMENT

THURSDAY, SEPT. 25, 2014

Rising from the ashes IF PROVINCIAL LIBERALS CAN REBOUND AND FIND SUCCESS, WILL TRUDEAU FOLLOW? One doesn’t have to cast back very far to the time when the future of the tarnished Liberal brand in this country could reasonably be questioned. How about less than two years ago? It was October 2012, when Dalton McGuinty resigned as Ontario premier and one could argue that once-proud TIM brand was at a nadir in recent HARPER history. The leader’s job was open federally and in Canada’s two largest provinces. On the West Coast, Christy Clark’s Liberals, a party that uses the name if not the ideology, was publicly musing about changing the party’s name as a way to change her fortunes. It had lost stalwarts such as Gordon Campbell, Jean Charest, Bob Rae and McGuinty. In all, there were seven Liberal leaders’ jobs up for grabs in the country and only Robert Ghiz, premier of tiny Prince Edward Island, could find stability in the Liberal name. And then it started. Clark kept the party name and rose from the dead to win British Columbia. A new Liberal leader in Quebec, Philippe Couillard wrested majority power back from the Parti Québécois. In Nova Scotia, Liberal Stephen McNeil defeated New Democrat Darrell Dexter, marking the first time in 131 years that Nova Scotians defeated a government after one term. Kathleen Wynne kept power in Ontario and on Monday night, out of the electoral chaos, came New Brunswick’s election of 32-year-old Brian Gallant, who tossed one-term Progressive Conservative Premier David Alward on the political scrap heap. And, for the record, pre-election polls in Newfoundland and Labrador have the Liberals well ahead of the PCs, who, at one point, had trouble finding anyone to take the party helm. Federal lessons cannot always be gleaned from provincial experience, but the New Brunswick parallels were too enticing to ignore. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s team had already advertised that this campaign was going to be a dry run of their federal strategies and get-outthe-vote efforts.

INSIGHT

They brought in some familiar names from Ontario and Nova Scotia campaigns in pollster and strategist David Herle, and their Halifax-based East Coast guru, Chris MacInnes. Trudeau campaigned with the eventual winner in all three provinces. Dominic LeBlanc, a New Brunswick MP who is close to Trudeau, co-chaired Gallant’s campaign. In Gallant, Liberals had a young, untested, bilingual leader trying to unseat a Progressive Conservative government seeking a second majority. He ordained his caucus would be pro-choice, he kept a key environmental issue in abeyance, voters were warned he was not worth the risk because of his inexperience and he almost squandered a huge pre-election lead with a spectacular late-campaign stumble. In campaign ads, the Liberals linked Alward to Stephen Harper, referring to the Alward-Harper alliance as bad for New Brunswick and deliberately dropping the word “Progressive” from the ousted premier’s party, using the

same name adopted by Harper’s Conservatives. In an echo of the party’s Ontario strategy, Gallant pledged spending on infrastructure to create jobs, while Alward backed fracking, which has sparked demonstrations in the province, as a way to revive the provincial economy. In an embarrassing misstep, Gallant completely botched an explanation of his tax policy in a CBC interview, but survived, which could lead Trudeau’s team to believe their man might be allowed some wriggle room from voters in his first campaign. But there was one other reason for Canadians to examine what happened in New Brunswick, and it is frightening. Democracy did not die in New Brunswick on Monday, but for almost two hours it was immobilized and on life support in prime time. It was the first Canadian election to use electronic tabulations to such an extent and the problem stemmed from discrepancies between uploaded num-

bers and paper receipts of votes, so results in a tight race were frozen as the late night dragged into the next day. As debate grows in this country regarding mandatory voting or means to boost participation by using existing technology to make it easier to vote, it is instructive to keep the New Brunswick fiasco in mind. Toronto-based Dominion Voting Systems also provided the technology for the Liberal leadership vote that elected Trudeau, a process that party sources described as “chaotic.’’ In 2012, results at the NDP’s leadership contest were slowed by a computer glitch. We could be one fiasco away from a complete voting “do-over” somewhere. In the rush to make voting easier or get results out faster, it is worth remembering that accuracy and confidence in the system trumps all and security — not speed or ease — is paramount.

Dental care should be part of health system BY PAUL ALLISON SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE There are many reasons why some Canadians choose not to go to the dentist, but a report released recently from the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) found that cost is a major factor — and that Canada’s most vulnerable populations have the highest rates of dental decay, pain and disease and at the same time the worst access to this much needed health-care service. The price tag for hospital care and most physician services is covered through our publicly-funded health-care system, but dental care is largely paid for privately in Canada. The CAHS report reveals that a whopping 95 per cent of dental care is paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance and is delivered in private dental offices. The remaining five per cent is covered through a hodgepodge of public health programs offered federally and provincially, targeting the needs of specific populations, with many falling through the cracks. So what happens when you don’t have dental insurance? The report found that almost half of all Canadians without dental insurance — commonly, new Canadians, the elderly, people working in insecure jobs and for low wages, and their children — avoid visiting a dentist due to costs. In fact, those in the poorest

income group were almost four times more likely to avoid the dentist due to costs than the richest group of Canadians. Vulnerable Canadians with difficulty accessing dental care are also those with the most dental pain, the greatest difficulty eating a healthy diet and the ones with the highest levels of gum disease, which in turn can increase their risk for general health problems, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In other words, those who need dental care the most are the least likely to be able to get it, and the ones who suffer the most because of it. It may also be costing all of us through increased visits to already crowded emergency rooms and physician offices, and valuable time lost from work, school and other activities. There are other reasons that people skip seeing their dentist, such as lack of transportation, fear of dental treatment and the dental office, and misunderstandings between dental professionals and certain groups in the population. These complex issues have complex solutions. But they cannot be addressed without first addressing equity in access to dental care. The CAHS report finds that inequalities in oral disease and access to dental care in Canada are greater than inequalities in general health problems and medical care. What might surprise many is that Canada actually provides less publicly-funded dental care than the United States — and, internationally, Canada is

among the lowest funders of dental health-care programs. Inequality in access to dental care is but one manifestation of the increasing inequalities in Canadian society and it needs to be addressed. With societal changes such as the increasing proportion of the population who are elderly and the decreasing proportion of the population with dental insurance, difficulty accessing dental care is only going to increase unless we start acting now. All people living in Canada should have reasonable access to dental care. We need to bring dentistry into the general health-care system by having some dental clinics in hospitals and community health centres. We need to explore the use of a variety of dental and other health professionals delivering care in a variety of settings. And we need to explore the financing of dental care for vulnerable groups — including anomalies in tax legislation that help those with dental insurance but not those without. We need concerted professional, government and community action now to begin to address these issues so that many Canadians will get the dental health care they so desperately need.

Study says pick and pay TV is coming BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Forcing TV service providers to offer their customers television channels on a pick-andpay basis would be a waste of time, says a new study. The C.D. Howe Institute report to be released today says ever-changing technology will soon put viewers squarely in the driver’s seat, allowing them to choose everything they watch one program at a time. And it suggests it would be better for regulators to determine whether broadcasters should continue to be required to fund the production of Canadian content. The study also opposes the idea of forcing new video-distribution services, such as Netflix, to pay into funds that subsidize that content. Entitled “Let the Market Decide: The Case Against Mandatory Pick-and-Pay,” the study comes as the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission conducts a comprehensive review of how consumers get their TV programming and how they pay for it. The Harper government has been promoting the pick-and-pay model as good for consumers. And the CRTC has been debating how that might work, suggesting an array of options for getting there. One suggestion would allow people to buy only the individual channels they want to watch, on top of a pared-down, price capped basic service that would include either mainly Canadian channels or a mix of

Canadian and U.S. channels that would otherwise be available free over the air. “Any proposals to mandate such ’pick-and-pay’ channel choices are deeply misguided and are largely an exercise in futility in the light of the technological revolution that is unfolding in the communications sector,” said C.D. Howe. “Any regulation would become irrelevant at best, harmful at worst.” During two weeks of hearings which finished last week, one of the industry’s big players acknowledged that it expects a sea change in how people get their TV programming. Rogers told a CRTC panel that it expects traditional TV will be delivered almost exclusively over the Internet, possibly within 10 or 15 years. But it rejected the idea of allowing viewers to pay for television channels strictly one at a time and said the regulator should not put a cap on the price of smaller, basic TV packages. The CRTC has asked Canadians to consider whether it should cap the cost of basic service at between $20 and $30 a month. Both Rogers and Bell said regulatory reforms are needed to encourage the production of more highquality Canadian content, but urged the CRTC not to leave them at a competitive disadvantage with new online video services such as Netflix. The C.D. Howe Institute questions whether consumers will want a basic service at all and says market forces and technology will likely encourage more people to “cut the cord.”

Opposition parties call for auditor to look at cost of Manitoba hydro project BYTHE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — Manitoba’s Opposition Tories and other groups called for an investigation Wednesday into the spiralling $4.6-billion cost of a major energy project. The Tories called for the auditor general’s office to investigate why the price tag for the Bipole Three hydro transmission line has more than doubled since 2007, when it was first estimated at $2.2 billion. The Tories also said a probe is needed to find out how long the government has known the true cost. “When (the government) wanted to get re-elected, which they did, they snowed Manitobans and told them this is a good deal for them. Obviously, this is not a good deal for them,” Tory hydro critic Ralph Eichler said. “We should have a sober second thought. We should look at really what those costs are and whether it is still viable.” The Manitoba Liberal Party, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and a coalition of landowners along the transmission line route also back an investigation. Bipole Three is a key part of a plan to build new hydro dams in northern Manitoba and bring it south to homes and businesses. Manitoba Hydro originally wanted to build a short, direct transmission line down the east side of Lake Winnipeg, but the NDP government ordered it in 2007 to build a much longer line far to the west, in order to preserve the boreal forest on the east side.

Manitoba Hydro announced last week that the cost of the project had jumped, due mostly to higherthen-expected costs for converters that are needed along the line. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation first raised concerns about rising costs in 2009, citing leaked Manitoba Hydro documents, but officials at the Crown corporation at the time rejected the idea. “There needs to be accountability here. There’s a history here of Hydro knowing some things behind closed doors,” said federation spokesman Colin Craig. The minister responsible for Manitoba Hydro, Stan Struthers, said Wednesday the higher costs only came to light over the summer as bids came in on the project. Struthers said the extra costs can be spread out over decades, and the transmission line is needed to keep up with rising energy demand. “I’m not happy that there’s a difference between the old estimate and the working budget that we’re dealing with now, but I’m very confident that this budget is solid and that this is a good, wise investment.” Hydro said last week that the extra cost will add $3 or $4 a year to the average residential customer. That is on top of 3.9 per cent increases Hydro is already planning annually for the next several years to help fund new dams and other projects. Struthers said the auditor general is free to examine whatever he wants, but would not say whether the government will speed up the process by joining the opposition parties in the request for an investigation.

Feds look to get tough on companies violating TFW rules TEMPORARY FOREIGN WORKERS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The federal government is considering lifetime bans and heftier fines on employers found to have violated its new regulations on temporary foreign workers. In a discussion paper posted overnight on the Employment and Social Development website, the government proposes permanent bans in addition to expanding penalties to include one-, five- and 10-year moratoriums that would forbid businesses from applying for temporary foreign workers. Currently there are only two-year bans imposed on companies that have broken the rules. The names of the banned employers would be made public, the proposals state. There are currently four companies listed on the government’s so-called TFW public blacklist, with no new additions since early June, three weeks before Employment Minister Jason Kenney unveiled his crackdown on the program. In efforts to deliver on that overhaul, the feds are also now proposing minimum fines of $500 to a maximum of $100,000 for serious violations — in particular those that have resulted in a significant financial benefit to an employer. The length of the ban would depend upon the type of violation, the employer’s history of compliance, the severity of the violation and the size of the business, the paper states. The government is asking stakeholders for their input into the proposals. The deadline for submissions is Oct. 16. Stakeholders and critics say they’re puzzled by the proposals, wondering why the government hasn’t been taking such measures for years. “This is the kind of thing they should have been doing right from the start,” said Dan Kelly, head of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. “My hope is that if they go down this road, maybe they can unwind some of the terrible reforms that they made in the summer that are unfairly penalizing companies that haven’t done anything wrong.” The overhaul, Kelly added, continues to target the restaurant sector. He says 12 fast-food restaurant proposals were recently shelved in Alberta due to the province’s labour shortage. “So we’re missing out on economic development, we’re losing out on growth and growing our tax base as a result of these heavy-handed changes.” Western premiers, including Alberta’s newly elected Jim Prentice, have complained that the government’s overhaul has been too onerous. Prentice is a former federal cabinet colleague of Kenney’s. The western leaders say their provinces are grappling with low unemployment rates and facing genuine shortages of skilled labour, requiring temporary foreign workers to fill the void.

U.S. asks Canada for help in Middle East BUT HARPER MUM ON DETAILS SO FAR

Dr. Gregory Taylor named Canada’s new chief public health officer WAS PREVIOUS DEPUTY TOP DOC FOR LAST TWO YEARS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canada has a new top doctor charged with protecting the health of Canadians. Dr. Gregory Taylor takes over as chief medical officer of Canada for the next five years, after acting as deputy to that position for the last two years, federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose announced Wednesday. “Dr. Taylor has done a remarkable job as deputy chief public health officer and has earned the confidence of the international community and his public health colleagues across the country,” Ambrose said in a statement. “Dr. Taylor’s steady guidance and tremendous efforts during disease outbreaks, including H5N1 and Ebola, are proof of the positive experience and expertise he will bring to the table as our new chief public health officer.” Taylor succeeds Dr. David Butler-Jones, the first head of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), which was created in 2004 in response to the SARS crisis. Butler-Jones, who suffered a stroke in 2012, stepped down from the position in June 2013, and Taylor had been the agency’s acting chief since that time. “I think PHAC has been on a trajectory for 10 years and I want to make sure we keep on that same trajectory,” said Taylor, who lauded his predecessor’s “spectacular job beginning the agency and promoting public health on a global stage.” “(They are) big shoes to follow. I certainly hope I can fill those shoes as best as possible,” he said from Ottawa. The bilingual Taylor, 59, began his career in medicine as a family practitioner in Ontario before moving into public health at the national level in 1995. He said the notion of population health has gone through a revolution over the last couple of decades — and it’s one he wants to perpetuate during his tenure as PHAC’s head. “I think the most pressing priority is to continue to protect Canadians from Ebola,” he

PHAC said. “The risk continues to be low in Canada and I want to continue that.” The outbreak of Ebola, which has infected at least 5,800 people in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nigeria and Senegal, killing about 2,800, poses a global threat if transmission of the virus is not soon contained. The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak an international public health emergency. “The situation is dire, it’s severe there and we’re trying to do everything we can,” said Taylor, noting that Canada is making key contributions to the fight against Ebola, including donating a vaccine that was developed at PHAC’s national laboratory in Winnipeg and providing protective gear for health workers at the centre of the outbreak. Ebola, which can cause fatal hemorrhaging, is spread through contact with an infected person’s blood or other bodily fluids. Canada has promised personal protective equipment for doctors, nurses and others caring for the growing number of sick, and Taylor said some of those supplies should start being flown out this week to disease hotspots in conjunction with the WHO. Canada also has supplied a mobile lab to those on the ground in west Africa and hopes to provide another, he said. “So I think Canada is clearly punching above its weight in terms of our contribution to this.” Taylor said his priority is maximizing the health of Canadians and protecting them from emerging disease threats. “If there’s anything I want to focus on in the next little while, it’s building for the future,” he said. “We need to be prepared for the unknown. We’ve got changes that have happened due to climate change where we have West Nile virus, we’ve got Lyme disease changing Canada and we’re not sure what the next one will be.

“So we have to be prepared for the future. “We have to train the next generation of public health practitioners, not only at the agency but clearly across Canada.” As head of PHAC, which has a staff of 2,500 and an annual budget of $600 million, Taylor said he also plans to speak more directly to Canadians about issues that may affect their health. “So Canadians will be hearing more from me personally and more from the agency as we move forward. It’s clear in my mind if we’re not making a difference to Canada in everyday (life), then we’re not really doing our job.”

Prime Minister Stephen Harper takes part in a question and answer session at Goldman and Sachs in New York on Wednesday. ry Western passports can hardly be called Muslims; some of them apparently don’t even attend mosque, Harper said. He also suggested that Middle Eastern hostility to the West is nothing new. Harper said there’s been a constituency for that since the Crusades. At that point the editor-in-chief, Gerard Baker, interjected: “Of course, they had a point during the Crusades.” That was just one snippet of a freeflowing conversation in New York’s financial district, where the high-profile newspaperman pressed Harper on a number of fronts. Baker mentioned

Canada’s relatively strong economic performance, but he pushed Harper on the relative weakness of some Canadian economic sectors beyond energy, and on whether Canada’s recent economic performance hadn’t softened a bit. At the end of the conversation, Baker asked Harper what advice he might offer his ideological brethren in the U.S. Some conservative commentators south of the border have lamented their losing streak in presidential elections and pointed to recent Canadian experience for possible lessons.

Teen faces second-degree murder charge in fatal stabbing BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A 17-year-old youth is facing a second-degree murder charge in connection with the fatal stabbing of another teen who police say intervened in a fight at a Toronto high school. Police say officers called to North Albion Collegiate Institute in the city’s northwest during the noon hour Tuesday found 19-year-old Hamid Aminzada with no vital signs. He was taken to hospital with lifethreatening injuries and later died in hospital. The 17-year-old — who cannot be identified under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act — was lat-

er arrested. Police allege there was an ongoing dispute between two students, which led to a confrontation in a school hallway. They say when another student intervened “to defuse the situation,” he was stabbed. Donna Quan, director of education for the Toronto District School Board, said she believes it was an isolated incident and that schools are safe. “We do no have this happening in our schools each day or often. In general our schools are very, very welcoming, very, very caring.” She also said current safety measures, including video surveillance systems, are sufficient and there are no plans to have metal detectors installed at schools in the wake of the tragedy.

UNITED NATIONS — Canada is now weighing the possibility of an extended military role in the Middle East and will be making an announcement on the matter very soon, Prime Minister Stephen Harper indicated Wednesday. Harper said he has received in recent days a request from the U.S. government for further Canadian involvement in the fight against Islamist rebels. But while the prime minister expressed general support for the American-led mission, he’s not yet ready to announce Canada’s next move. “We need to have some additional debate in our government before we reach a final decision,” he said during a question-and-answer session in New York before an audience of U.S. business leaders, explaining that he wanted to discuss the issue in cabinet and in Parliament. As for a timeline, he added: “The government of Canada will make a decision on that very, very shortly.” When pressed, Harper offered no details about a possible new engagement, saying it wouldn’t be for him to disclose the contents of the U.S. government’s letter. However, one government official familiar with the request said it did not involve combat. A second official, who like the first was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter, said the U.S. request has been part of a natural progression

of events and came as no surprise to the government. “We’ve been working closely with the Americans, who have been trying to build a coalition for quite some time... We’ve been involved in those discussions,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He said the Canadian government has always made it clear it “that it would be prepared to do more as requests came in.” Even as Harper spoke Wednesday, his government at home was coming under pressure to clarify its intentions beyond the 30-day commitment it has made to the fight against the group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Harper outlined for his audience what Canada has done so far. He proclaimed with a smile that Canada’s military has actually moved more supplies into northern Iraq, so far, than the U.S. Air Force. In addition to those logistical flights, he said Canada has the second-largest contingent of foreign forces advising the Iraqi military. The world can’t allow terrorists to gain safe havens like the one that has developed in eastern Syria and western Iraq, Harper said. Wednesday’s conversation with the Wall Street Journal’s editor-in-chief also delved into some of the sociological aspects of the world’s fight against the al-Qaida splinter group ISIL, also known as Islamic State or ISIS.

Ringleader who plotted to behead politicians denied parole TORONTO 18

BATH, Ont. — A ringleader of the so-called Toronto 18 terror cell has no “viable” plan to resist the radical influences that once led him to plot a deadly attack against Parliament, officials said Wednesday in denying him parole. While Fahim Ahmad has gained important insight into what drew him to embrace violent extremism in his late teens, he isn’t prepared to deal with the stressors that contributed to his radicalization, a two-member panel of the Parole Board of Canada said. The panel raised concerns over how Ahmad would handle exposure to the Internet and his eventual return to a mosque, both environments he admitted fuelled his extremist beliefs in the past. Reuniting with his family — particularly his now ex-wife — could also add to the strain, they said. The fact that Ahmad, 30, brushed off suggestions he could re-offend only raised red flags, the panel said. “You said that you weren’t over-confident — I think you are,” said Louise Harris, the lead board member. “I’m not sure you won’t be coming back into a similar situation.” Even before the board members reached their decision, Ahmad told them he didn’t expect to be released until his sentence expires in 2018. His parole officer acknowledged there are few resources in the correctional system to prepare “these types of offenders” for reintegration and that his access to an imam had dwindled due to cutbacks.

Ahmad also had several “security incidents” in prison, though there is no indication he tried to recruit other inmates, Erin Brown said. The Toronto 18 plotted to blow up the Parliament buildings, kill the prime minister and take MPs hostage. They were rounded up in the summer of 2006 in an anti-terrorist operation that made headlines around the world. Ahmad pleaded guilty in the middle of his 2010 trial to participating in a terrorist group, importing firearms and instructing his co-accused to carry out an activity for a terrorist group. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison but received a credit of 8 ½ years for the more than four years he spent in custody awaiting trial. He served 3 ½ years in segregation in a Quebec facility for the most violent offenders before being transferred to the maximum-security Millhaven Institution in Bath, Ont., where Wednesday’s parole hearing was held. Over more than two hours, Ahmad laid out how he grew to espouse “violent extremism” in the wake of 9/11. The growing public distrust of Muslims sparked Ahmad’s interest in his own faith, he said, noting he’d previously only gone to the mosque for religious holidays. Soon he was spending 10 to 12 hours a day there talking with other zealous youths, and getting sucked into online discussions that merged religion and politics, he said. “Most of it happened on the Internet,” he said. “It was just mostly manifested there (at the mosque).”

Speaker chastises NDP in appeal for MPs to elevate tone of debate OTTAWA — The Speaker issued a broad plea for better behaviour in the House of Commons on Wednesday as he chastised the Opposition New Democrats for openly questioning his neutrality during question period. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair called Andrew Scheer’s impartiality into question Tuesday after Conservative MP Paul Calandra responded to Mulcair’s question on the Iraqi mission by raising a completely unrelated subject. Mulcair’s plea for an intervention appeared to fall on deaf ears, prompting the leader to tell Scheer, “That does not speak very favourably about your neutrality in this House,” at which point Scheer denied Mulcair the chance to ask his remaining questions. On Wednesday, Scheer suggested he could have gone further, noting that to challenge the Speaker’s character can be seen as a punishable breach of privilege. He did not elaborate on what punishment he might have meted out. Besides, Scheer added, until MPs themselves change the rules, longstanding tradition means the Speaker can’t interfere with answers given during question period. Still, he reiterated previous appeals for an elevated tone of debate in the House. “I have no doubt that Canadians expect members to elevate the tone and

substance of question period exchanges,” he said. “As your Speaker, I hope the House can rise to that challenge.” Mulcair had been asking for confirmation on the end-date for Canada’s contribution to the mission in Iraq. Calandra, who is the parliamentary secretary to the prime minister, replied by bringing up the NDP’s position on Israel and remarks allegedly made by an NDP staffer on the subject in social media, complete with censored profanities. Scheer noted in his comments that the language was unsavoury and urged MPs to choose their words more careLocally owned for over 35 years fully.

Storybook ending LOCAL BOYS PAIR UP TO SCORE OT WINNER IN HOCKEYVILLE MATCHUP BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Flames 4, Coyotes 3 (OT) SYLVAN LAKE — Kraft Hockeyville provided a week few in Sylvan Lake will forget any time soon, including its storybook finish. With less than two minutes to go in overtime, it was two Central Albertans that won it for the Calgary Flames as Curtis Glencross tipped home a Kris Russell point shot for the 4-3 win over the Arizona Coyotes. Originally the goal was waived off, the deflection being ruled to have been made above the crossbar, but after a conference between the officials at centre ice the goal was called good. There was little doubt in the 31-year-old Sylvan Lake resident’s mind. “It was fun and exciting, I was just hoping the refs made the right call,” said Glencross. “Russ made a nice shot and put it in the spot where we practice every day.” The Flames had rallied from a 2-0 first-period deficit to tie the game with 10 seconds to go in the second period, as Sven Baertschi slipped a wrist shot through goalie Mike McKenna. Brian McGrattan and Deryk Engelland also scored for the Flames while Matt Kassian, Joe Vitale and B.J. Crombeen replied for Arizona. This game was a big moment for Sylvan Lake on the national stage. They won the right to host the NHL pre-season game after winning the annual Kraft Hockeyville contest, along with $100,000 to go towards a new multiplex after the old Sylvan Lake arena collapsed under the weight of snow this past winter. Teams were given the red carpet treatment as they arrived for the nationally televised contest while 1,000 fans packed the multiplex and at least that many more gathered outside for the once-in-alifetime event. It was not lost on the players, some of whom played in the old arena many times on visiting teams while growing up. “It’s probably something I would never have forgot ... I remember being one of those kids and going to the odd Oilers game that I would get to go to in Edmonton, and being one of the kids in awe and standing there wanting an autograph,” said Glencross, who grew up in Provost. “It was nice we had the opportunity going in today to stop and chat with all the kids and sign all the stuff they had to sign.” Russell, meanwhile, was born in Red Deer but grew up in Caroline. McGrattan, who tied the game at 2-2 at 1:59 of the second period, finishing off a two-on-one rush with Markus Granlund, has experienced Hockeyville once before while as a member of the Ottawa Senators in 2006. That year McGrattan was a rookie trying to crack the Senators lineup, but they lost 7-3 to the Montreal Canadiens in Truro, N.S. For him, it was another reminder of what it was like to be a little kid and getting a chance to interact with his hockey heros while growing up in Hamilton, Ont.

Arizona Coyotes Lauri Korpikoski hooks Calgary Flames Michael Ferland’s stick off the puck during first period preseason hockey action at the Sylvan Lake Multiplex on Wednesday. “I grew up a Leafs fan, so I went to their skate with the players and meet the players days and it was always cool meeting guys and getting autographs,” he said. This game did not start out much better for his current team. The Coyotes opened the scoring at 8:56 of the first period as Lloydminster native Darian Dziurzynski fired a hard shot in on goalie Joni Ortio on the rush, he kicked out a big rebound and Kassian fired it into the gaping cage. Arizona stretched the lead to two goals at 12:51 after Ortio mishandled a rebound and Vitale was there to bat the puck in out of mid-air. The Flames showed some early season resolve and battled back as Engelland ripped a point shot through a maze of players on the power play at 19:06 of the first period. After McGrattan tied it up early in the second, however, it did not take long for the Coyotes to retake the lead, as Crombeen drove to the front of the net and deflected a hard pass from Chris Summers past Ortio at 3:06. Once again, the Flames came back as Baertschi wristed a shot past McKenna at 19:50 of the second period. Neither team managed to score in the third period, but Calgary caught a break in the four-on-four overtime when Summers was called for holding at 2:13, allowing the Flames to set up a four-on-three power play. They made no mistake. “I told the players this morning ‘remember those people coming to the game, they had to fight real hard to get this game ...’ and since it’s right close to our market, I think we owed this game to the fans,” said Flames head coach Bon Hartley. “They were

great, there were lots of Flames jerseys in the stands and they’re going home happy.” Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett took the preseason loss in stride, focusing on the many different scenarios they were able to work through and the chance to evaluate players. “You put kids in these situations and you see how they reacted,” he said. “It’s not just kids ... you’ve got (Sam) Gagner, you’ve got Vitale — new players to our organization — it’s a good time to see what they can do also.” The Flames improve to 2-1-0 in pre-season play and will now host the Vancouver Canucks tonight at 7 p.m. They are already showing the same kind of dogged toughness that was their trademark last year, despite finishing 35-40-7 and in 13th place in the Western Conference. “We just want to keep rolling, it starts now, doing the right things now,” said Glencross. “We want to push like we did last year coming down the stretch, but we don’t want to put ourselves behind the eightball early and we want to come out flying and ready to go.” NOTES — Calgary forward Mason Raymond did not dress for the game after going through warm up, suffering a leg injury ... First round pick Sam Bennett sat out the game with a minor injury as well, but is expected to play tonight when they host the Vancouver Canucks at 7 p.m. ... The Flames were 2-for-5 on the power play, the Coyotes were 0-for-6 with the man-advantage ... Ortio made 11 saves on 14 shots through 40 minutes, Doug Carr stopped all nine shots he faced through the third period and overtime. McKenna stopped 25 shots through two periods, Brendan Burke stopped seven of eight shots. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Work ethic has former Rebel Elson pushing for NHL job BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR SYLVAN LAKE — He’s the classic underdog, a feisty player who worked his way on to the Red Deer Rebels roster as an invited player in 2009 and is now pushing for an NHL job. Turner Elson was a wide-eyed 17-year-old when he checked into his first Rebels training camp five years ago. The St. Albert native was somewhat of a longshot WHL prospect but his perseverance and dogged work ethic made it impossible for then head coach Jesse Wallin to deny him a spot on the club. Elson progressed to the point where he scored 21 goals in his third season and as a 20-year-old racked up 26 goals and 57 points during the regular season and another nine points (5g,4a) in nine playoff games as the Rebels captain and undisputed leader. “I’ve come a really long way and it’s all thanks to the coaching staff I had in Red Deer, my teammates and my family. I couldn’t have asked for more as a young player,” the 22-year-old said Wednesday, after suiting up for the Calgary Flames in a 4-3 overtime win over the Arizona Coyotes in the Kraft Hockeyville NHL preseason game at the Sylvan Lake Multiplex. “Jesse and Brent (Rebels owner and current GM/head coach) were great to me and really helped me progress as a player. Now, as a pro, I’m confident I’m going to progress even more.” Elson was passed over in the 2011 NHL entry draft but the Flames thought enough of the St. Albert native to sign him to a two-way contract in September of that year. He turned pro at the end of the Rebels 2012-13 season and played two games with the Flames’ AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Heat. He appeared in 37 games with the Heat last winter, scoring two goals and adding one assist, and was then assigned to the Alaska Aces of the ECHL later in the

It was going to develop me more, I was going to get more ice time. “Then I started feeling excited about going down there and it was an exciting time. Alaska had a good team and we pushed hard through the play-

offs.” Elson flourished with the Aces, collecting 15 points — including five goals — in 18 regular-season outings, and then playing a key role in the postseason, scoring seven goals and accumulating 11 points as the Anchoragebased team captured the ECHL championship. “Just being a big part of the team gave me a lot of confidence and I

carried that into the off-season,” he said. “I felt really good about myself and carried it through to the Flames camp.” Elson has always maintained a high level of fitness and bulked up to 185 pounds during the summer. “I feel like I worked hard but worked the hardest at gaining weight,” said the six-foot winger. “I gained weight while working as hard as I could on my conditioning. In past years I just worked on my conditioning but this year I really focused on getting a lot of meals in me and getting my weight to the point that I could play in the NHL. That was my main focus this summer.” Elson is a longshot to earn regular employment this season with the Flames, considering the team’s depth chart and significant number of players signed to one-way deals. “If I play in the NHL this season that will be the best possible scenario, but if I go down to (Calgary’s new AHL affiliate in Adirondack, N.Y.) I just want to be an impact player, a guy who the coaches look to on the bench and a guy who the coaches want on the ice in every situation,” he said. “I feel like I’ve taken a step each of the last few years and that I’ve improved game to game. This year is going to be big for me to push for a new contract.” Elson played a regular shift Wednesday and enjoyed the atmosphere while playing in front of a capacity gathering of 1,000 fans. “It was a back-and-forth game. Both teams were working hard for the win and the game couldn’t have had a better finish with the hometown guy scoring the winning goal,” he said, referring to the overtime marker tallied by Sylvan Lake off-season resident Curtis Glencross. “It was pretty cool to play here. It was nice to see some familiar faces from my time playing in Red Deer. It was pretty sweet.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

University hockey paves way for Louis BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR SYLVAN LAKE — If this hockey thing doesn’t pan out for Mark Louis, he could be a paid ambassador for Canadian university hockey. The Ponoka native and former Red Deer Rebels defenceman is a huge proponent of the university game, insisting that playing at that level paved the way to a professional career that is now entering its fourth year. “Going to university (St. Francis Xavier in Antigonish, N.S.) was the best thing ever for my career,” he said Wednesday, after suiting up with the Arizona Coyotes in the Kraft Hockeyville NHL preseason game played in front of 1,000 fans at the Sylvan Lake Multiplex. “I found that it addressed a lot of things that I didn’t have in junior. I wanted to play pro after junior but the opportunities weren’t there. I always knew I wanted to play pro and that was still my intention while I was there. I just wanted to improve every year and sure enough I just kept getting better and when the (pro) opportunity came around I took advantage of it. “I didn’t get to finish school but I definitely took a lot out of there . . . a lot of experience. The calibre of hockey is completely under-rated. There’s a lot of very good players who get tied up in their studies and it’s such a tough go in your life trying to decide if you’re

There’s a lot of good players at that level that if they chose to go pro they easily could.” Louis played four seasons in the WHL with the Brandon Wheat Kings

before being traded to Red Deer two weeks into the 2007-08 campaign. He added size — he currently checks in at six-foot-four and 230 pounds — a significant physical presence and leadership to a weak Red Deer team.

He enrolled at St. Francis Xavier in the fall of 2008 and patrolled the X-Men blueline for four years before earning a tryout with the Portland Pirates, the AHL affiliate of the Coyotes. Louis appeared in 23 games with the Pirates following the conclusion of his final university season and was then summoned to the Coyotes — albeit as a practice player — while the team was on their impressive 2012 playoff run that ended with a loss to the Los Angeles Kings in the NHL Western Conference final. “I was fortunate enough to be called up to skate with the Coyotes ‘Black Aces’ during the playoffs, so that was a pretty good experience and then I signed shortly after that,” he said. Louis has now played two full seasons in Portland and feels that he’s close to changing addresses this fall as a member of the Coyotes. “Absolutely, that’s my goal this year,” he said. “Ever since I was a little kid I’ve wanted to play in the NHL and I feel that it’s right there for me. I feel I’m ready, I just have to take advantage of the opportunity I’m given.” On Wednesday, Louis was a Coyote for a day of celebration in Sylvan Lake. “I think it’s cool to be back closer to home, as close as I’m going to get as a pro,” said Louis. “It was nice to see the community come together and have the game sold out. It was a pretty special night.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Oilers send Jets crashing after strong play from prospects NUGENT-HOPKINS’ SECOND PERIOD GOAL SPARKS OILERS RALLY IN PRESEASON WIN OVER JETS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NHL

Oilers 3 Jets 2 WINNIPEG — Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ goal was the turning point as the Edmonton Oilers overcame a two-goal deficit to beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 in pre-season action Wednesday night. And linemate Jordan Eberle believes some of the prospects should get credit for making it happen. “It might have been just before that,” he said of Nugent-Hopkins’ second-period goal. “We had a couple of shifts in our third and fourth lines, some young guys went out there had some zone pressure against them and we were able to capitalize on a shot there.” Nugent-Hopkins agreed. “That line of (Kale) Kessy, (Tyler) Pitlick and (Travis) Ewanyk had a big shift for us,” he said. Ewanyk and Kessy played last season for Edmonton’s AHL franchise in Oklahoma City as did Pitlick — although he also played 10 games with the Oilers. Bogdan Yakimov and Justin Schultz also scored for Edmonton in the second period. Before that it had been all Jets. TJ Galiardi got things started on a first-period breakaway off a long pass from Will O’Neill and beat Laurent Brossoit at 14:09. Brossoit played last season in the ECHL and finished with Edmonton’s AHL farm team in Oklahoma City. Jets forward Evander Kane had a breakaway as well in the first and earned a penalty shot on a hook but hit the crossbar. Wednesday night was the debut of the Kane, Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler line. Nugent-Hopkins took the first penalty of the game late in the first period and the Jets opened the second with 1:19 left in their power play. Matt Halischuk cashed in at 1:11 off a pass from Kane as he snapped the puck past Brossoit’s glove. “We definitely rope-a-doped ’em. I mean early, it seemed like they were playing in our end quite a bit,” said

Eberle. Galiardi said the Jets gave it away after their strong start. “It was more what we did, not what they did,” said the off-season acquisition from the Calgary Flames. “Every chance they had and every goal they got was basically our doing. We gave them the opportunities and that’s the kind of team they are. They’ve got a lot of skill and if you give them those two-on-ones and odd-man rushes they’re going to score.” It was Edmonton’s second pre-season win. The Jets are now 1-1. The Oilers made Brossoit work pretty hard in the second — at one point the Jets were ahead 17-8 on shots — but Nugent-Hopkins finally got the Oilers on the board with a slick shot as he rushed past Jets defenceman Jacob Trouba to beat Michael Hutchinson’s glove. Yakimov tied the game off a crossnet pass from Vladimir Tkachev at 16:03 and with just nine seconds left in the period Tkachev fed Schultz in front of the Winnipeg net to make it 3-2. The Oilers ended up outshooting the Jets 12-10 in the second. As a measure of how the complexion of the game changed, the Jets had managed only two shots in about 20 minutes of hockey midway through the third period while the Oilers had 20 in the same time span. Tyler Rimmer relieved Brossoit for the third period but Hutchinson stayed in the Winnipeg net. The Jets finally regained some momentum but Halischuk hit the crossbar with just over three minutes left on what could have been the tying goal. Despite the loss, Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice liked what he saw from some of the young players he had in the lineup. “I think Nik Ehlers showed flashes in each of the two games . . . I really liked Nicky Petan in the middle, in the centre face-off . . . Adam Lowry’s just smart kind of wherever he goes. . . and (Josh) Morrissey, another step better.” He said overall they were too happy

Jays put another dent in Mariners’ playoff hopes BUEHRLE MASTERFUL TO LEAD JAYS TO THIRD STRAIGHT WIN OVER MARINERS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 1 Mariners 0 TORONTO — Toronto starter Mark Buehrle needed just six frames Wednesday night to reach the 200-inning plateau for the 14th consecutive season. He achieved his goal in style by nearly going the distance in one of his finest starts of the year. Buehrle was masterful on a cool, breezy evening at Rogers Centre, striking out 10 and allowing three hits over eight-plus innings as the Blue Jays topped the Seattle Mariners 1-0. “He was as good as you’re ever going to see him,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons. “He was strong the whole night. His ball was really ducking and darting in there.” Buehrle threw 64 of his 93 pitches for strikes and allowed one walk. The announced crowd of 16,836 gave him a standing ovation when he reached the 200-inning mark and again when he was pulled after giving up a leadoff single in the ninth. “It means a lot because I had put this goal on myself in spring training,” Buehrle said. “Obviously getting there means a lot. It’s disappointing because we’re going home on Sunday, we’re not going to continue playing — especially the way I felt and the way my ball was moving tonight, I almost want to throw tomorrow. “I felt that good and my ball was moving. I guess that’s the disappointing thing and (it’s) frustrating that I feel this good and I’m done.” Toronto (81-77) was eliminated from post-season contention a night earlier.

The Mariners’ playoff hopes took another hit with their fifth straight loss. Seattle (83-75), which has an elimination number of two, is three games out of an American League wild-card spot. The game was scoreless until the eighth inning. Munenori Kawasaki drew a one-out walk, Anthony Gose struck out and Ryan Goins followed with a blooper into shallow right-centre field. Kawasaki was running on contact and was waved home when the ball dropped in and took a big bounce on the artificial turf. Taijuan Walker (2-3) was the hardluck loser. He pitched a career-high eight innings, allowing one earned run, four hits and a walk while striking out six. “That young man threw a tremendous ball game,” said Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon. “He really stepped up, he did everything we asked him to do.” Buehrle (13-10) gave up a leadoff single to Chris Taylor in the ninth. Reliever Aaron Sanchez came on and picked off pinch-runner James Jones at first base before getting the next two outs for his third save. Toronto extended its winning streak to three in a game that took only one hour 59 minutes to complete. It was the first major-league game under the twohour mark since June 2012. The teams breezed through the first three innings with a Jose Bautista single and double by Seattle’s Corey Hart providing the only early ticks in the hit column. Bautista, who entered the game with an American Leagueleading .409 on-base percentage, has reached base safely in 27 straight

Dustin Ackley beat out an infield single to open the fourth inning. Buehrle needed only three pitches to get Robinson Cano to pop up and cleanup man Kendrys Morales to hit into a 6-4-3 double play. Walker answered with a similar display in the fifth. The slow-moving Dioner Navarro led off with a drive to the wall but stayed at first base rather than challenge right-fielder Logan Morrison’s arm. The Seattle starter got Dalton Pompey of Mississauga, Ont., to pop up and Kawasaki to ground into a 4-6-3 double play. Buehrle put on the leadoff man in the sixth by issuing a walk to Mike Zunino, who moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Taylor. The veteran southpaw responded by fanning Austin Jackson and Ackley. Gose made a great sliding catch on a sinking liner in shallow centre field to deny Morrison a hit in the seventh. Buehrle fanned Hart and Zunino to

keep the game scoreless. “The way my ball was moving, it was almost at times moving too much where I couldn’t control it,” Buehrle said. “(I was) getting ahead in the strike zone, hitting my spots and the ball was moving.” Notes: It was Buehrle’s 461st consecutive start without a disabled list stint. ... Buehrle has recorded at least 10 wins, 200 innings and 30 starts in 14 straight seasons — the longest active streak in the major leagues. He’s the first pitcher to achieve that feat since Gaylord Perry did it over 15 years from 1966-’80. Don Sutton also recorded at least 200 innings pitched per year in the same span. The 1981 strike ended both streaks. ... Left-hander Daniel Norris (0-0, 5.40 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Blue Jays in the series finale Thursday night. The Mariners will counter with right-hander Tom Wilhelmsen (3-2, 2.10). ... Toronto will close out the regular season with a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles beginning Friday.

Eichel ignoring comparisons to fellow prospect McDavid BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel have been compared in hockey circles for years. Only one of them can be the No. 1 pick in the 2015 NHL draft but their careers will be forever linked. Even amid the hype, they’ve met on the ice but never talked to each other. “I don’t really know him,” Eichel said of McDavid. “I’m sure we’ll meet along the way.” McDavid and Eichel are on a crash course to meet at the world junior championship Dec. 31 in Montreal when Canada faces the United States. And they’ll be together on the road to the draft, dealing with the pressure that Nathan MacKinnon and Seth Jones encountered two years ago. The comparisons will continue long after that, but for now Eichel is trying to drown them out and focus on his own progression. While McDavid chose the junior hockey route and will return for a third season with the OHL’s Erie Otters, Eichel will be a freshman for Boston University. “I just try to concentrate on what I can control and myself,” Eichel said Wednesday at First Niagara Center where he’ll play in USA Hockey’s AllAmerican Prospects Game Thursday. “There’s going to be comparisons wherever you go. I just try to focus on myself and making sure I’m doing the right things and trying to get better.” Eichel, who doesn’t turn 18 until late October, will field questions about McDavid no matter where he plays. The native of North Chelmsford, Mass. — about 45 minutes northwest of Bos-

Instead, Eichel said college hockey was a “perfect fit” for him, and especially Boston University because his parents will get a chance to see him play much more often than in recent years. He’s not worried about passing up on junior and its more professionalstyle schedule and thinks he’ll play 50

games this year. “That just means more time in the weight room, getting stronger,” Eichel said. “You’re playing against bigger, stronger, older guys. ... I think that was what I needed to do to take my development to the next level.” Eichel’s game is already at the next level or else he wouldn’t be getting compared to McDavid, who is already dealing with the expectations of be-

ing the “Next One” to follow in the footsteps of Sidney Crosby and MacKinnon. Eichel had almost two points a game while with the U.S. National Team Development Program last season in Ann Arbor, Mich. At six foot two and 194 pounds, Eichel is still filling out and believes every area of his game could use some polishing. But if fans are looking for who he wants to play like, Eichel’s models are a couple of Canadian-born, Stanley Cup- and Olympic gold-medalwinning stars. “I think everybody idolizes Sidney Crosby,” Eichel said. “He does everything so well. If anyone’s trying to emulate him, I think it’s pretty good. I think I play pretty similar to Jeff Carter. He’s a big skating centre, likes to shoot the puck, make plays.” If Eichel develops along the same path, he’ll justify the attention he’s getting. The biggest star among 42 prospects taking part in Thursday’s exhibition game in front of 200 NHL scouts, Eichel is someone whose presence can “raise all the players around him,” according to USA Hockey’s Jim Johannson. Eichel’s closest competition among Americans is Boston College’s Noah Hanifin, who is expected to be the top defenceman taken in next year’s draft. But all the talk is McDavid vs. Eichel and who’s going No. 1. “To be No. 1, obviously, it’s in anyone’s competitive nature to be No. 1,” Eichel said. “You dream about that your whole life. So if I sat here and told you that I didn’t want to be in the No. 1 pick, I think I’d be lying because I do. But I’m not going to lose sleep on it”

Gaucher hoping to lead Canada to top-finish at World Cup

Kim Gaucher walked off the court at the London Olympics believing she’d played her last game for Canada. Her retirement lasted two months. The Canadian women had shown promise in London and looked to be a team on the rise. And Gaucher — who’d felt more than her share of frustration in her 12 years with a team that had always come so close — wanted to be a part of it. “The Olympics are really fun. And I’ve been on this team for so long, and realistically London could have been my third Olympics (they were her first) . . . But so many times we couldn’t qualify,” Gaucher said. “And there’s been so much work and effort into making the Canadian senior women’s team better, and it’s been a long fight for the (previous) coaches and administrators, and you feel like you’re kind of finally reaping those rewards. We are getting good. I feel like we have the chance to medal and that’s

something I wanted to be a part of. I still love it. So I said ’Why not go four more years?”’ The ninth-ranked Canadians are in Turkey for the FIBA women’s World Cup — basketball’s world championship. They tip off Saturday against Mozambique in a tournament that could go along way toward helping Canada qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics. “It’s kind of like that midterm exam, when you think of the quad, with the Olympics kind of being at the end of each quad,” said coach Lisa Thomaidis. “Then you’ve got your world championships that are midway checkpoint for us. “We still are in a bit of a transition phase (with post-London retirements). So our best is still yet to come down the road, but I think we’ve made GET YOUR TICKETS! 403.342.3497 |

The NFL is a QB league, especially in fantasy football BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The 2014 season may go down as the worst year ever for the first five picks in fantasy football drafts. Let’s assume your league went LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles, Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte and Eddie Lacy at the top of the draft. They have combined for 810 yards and one touchdown through three games, giving them 87 fantasy points based on standard scoring formats (1 point for 10 yards, 6 points for a touchdown). Now add up the points for Andrew Luck, who could have been drafted somewhere in the seventh round. He has scored 95 points in leagues with standard CBSSports.com and Yahoo scoring formats. Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan and Jay Cutler aren’t far behind. The disparity between one midround pick and half of the entire first round demonstrates how undervalued

quarterbacks are in an era when injuries to running backs are rampant and rule changes provide greater leeway to the QB position. It also raises the question about whether preseason quarterback rankings should be given higher value in the future to reflect the trend. Quarterback is also a position where you can find some value on the waiver wire and through trades as the season unfolds, something that is even more necessary now that bye weeks are upon us. Here are five QB plays to consider: KIRK COUSINS: His gem turned in for Washington against Philadelphia (427 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT) has created a quandary for fantasy owners because it’s impossible to know if the game was an anomaly or a sign of great things to come. If you have the roster spot and question marks at quarterback, why not take a flier and grab Cousins? WILSON AT HOME: How is this for a QB strategy? Draft Russell Wilson and start him only when Seattle is at

home and find a suitable second option during the Seahawks’ road games. You pretty much know what you’re going to get from him at home: 250 yards, 2 TDs, 40 to 50 yards on the ground, not many interceptions. If you could bank on that for eight games and scrounge for points in the other weeks, it might work. KAP AND TRADE? Colin Kaepernick can be obtained at a bargainbasement price on the trade market after a rough 1-2 start for San Francisco. If you think the 49ers will pull out of this funk, get their house in order and surge in December, it’s worth going after him at a cheap price. Remember, San Francisco was 1-2 last year at this point, but the team reeled off winning streaks of five and six games to finish strong. But if you think the poor start is a harbinger for a bad 2014 season, then stay away. JOE FLACCO: The Super Bowlwinning quarterback has never been much of a fantasy producer, but Flacco

is a viable option as a bye-week replacement or a spot matchup play. The Ravens are passing even more in their new Gary Kubiak system, so don’t be surprised to see Flacco put up some big numbers at various times in the year as he becomes more comfortable in the offence. TWO-QB LEAGUES: In a nod to the growing number of two-QB leagues, the carousel is spinning even more forcefully heading in to the fourth week. Last week we talked about how Blake Bortles and Mike Glennon were lurking in the state of Florida, and both will be starting this week. The next wave: Keep an eye on the situations for the Titans (Charlie Whitehurst/injured Jake Locker), Jets (Michael Vick/ineffective Geno Smith), Dolphins (Matt Moore/ineffective Ryan Tannehill, who isn’t getting a strong vote of confidence from his coach) and Panthers (Derek Anderson/Cam Newton, who was hurting badly in Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh).

Old Tom Watson looks to lead U.S. to win BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. team captain Tom Watson and vice captain Raymond Floyd, left, talk on the 13th green during a practice round ahead of the Ryder Cup golf tournament, at Gleneagles, Scotland, Wednesday.

GLENEAGLES â€” Phil Mickelson has played in the Ryder Cup more times than any American. His experience is such that recent captains have leaned on him for observations on everything from pairings to picks. That wasnâ€™t the case with Tom Watson at the helm. In the week leading up to Watson making his three wildcard picks, Mickelson was asked if the 65-year-old captain had reached out to him. The answer was no, without elaboration. Then, as if to make a point, Mickelson reached into his pocket for his phone, glanced at it and replied, â€œStill no.â€? Watson might not need any help to find a winning formula for the Ryder Cup. One reason the PGA of America took a chance on the oldest captain ever in the Ryder Cup was his history in the matches. The Americans havenâ€™t won on European soil since 1993, the last time Watson was the captain. He is adored in Scotland as much as any American golfer, having won the British Open four times on Scottish links. His three Senior British Open titles all were in Scotland. In the four Ryder Cups that Watson played, only one was held in the United States. One thing hasnâ€™t changed. Watson approaches these matches with a singular focus. â€œThe European team is loaded,â€? Watson said. â€œBut when the matches start at 7:35 on Friday morning, thereâ€™s going to be quality of play going on. Weâ€™ll just see who wins. I know our team is totally committed to bringing the cup back. I know that. And Iâ€™m going to do everything in my power to help them do that and set the stage for them.â€?

RYDER CUP Even so, the generation gap creates a dynamic that brings an element of curiosity to this Ryder Cup. Only two players on his team â€” Mickelson and Jim Furyk â€” were playing on the PGA Tour when Watson won the last of his 39 titles in 1998. Watson has not been at a Ryder Cup since he was captain, and he was slightly defensive Wednesday when asked a series of questions about whether that might hurt him. â€œNo,â€? he said flatly. â€œBecause Iâ€™ve played in the Ryder Cup four times, and Iâ€™ve been a captain once. Thatâ€™s experience.â€? He also doesnâ€™t buy into the notion that he canâ€™t relate to a new generation of players, nine of whom were not even born when he won the first of his eight majors. â€œIâ€™ve answered that question before,â€? Watson said. â€œThey know Iâ€™ve played in the Ryder Cup. They understand Iâ€™ve been a captain. And they know that I know what theyâ€™re doing. They have respect for me and I have the ultimate respect for them. Weâ€™re on the same page. Weâ€™re professional golfers. Doesnâ€™t matter how old you are or how young you are.â€? He certainly has the respect of European captain Paul McGinley, who referred to Watson as his â€œboyhood hero.â€? McGinley went to college in San Diego and worked on a practice range when the PGA Tour came to town. As a captain? â€œI havenâ€™t really been paying attention,â€? McGinley said. â€œIn regards to what Tom is doing with the team, I donâ€™t even know what groups heâ€™s going out with. I just know heâ€™s going to make some good decisions

and heâ€™s going to have a strong American team out there and we are going to be prepared for that.â€? McGinley talks of a template that Europe has had for years. The Americans have no such thing. They have won the Ryder Cup only twice since Watson last was captain â€” Brookline in 1999 when Justin Leonard made the â€œputt heard â€™round the world,â€? and 2008 with Paul Azinger at the helm at Valhalla. Watson already raised questions with his picks, stating that he wanted the hot hands and then passing over Chris Kirk, who had won the Deutsche Bank Championship the day before the captainâ€™s picks were chosen. Will it matter who plays? Does it matter who is the captain? â€œBottom line is heâ€™s a professional golfer with a resume that is awfully deep,â€? Zach Johnson said. â€œHeâ€™s got a lot of sage advice and wisdom that I think we can certainly dig into and maybe learn from. And then you compound that with the fact that weâ€™re playing a country that heâ€™s had some success in â€” to put it mildly â€” I think itâ€™s terrific.â€? Mickelson was asked how his own experience could help the Ryder Cup rookies, and he quickly deferred. â€œIâ€™ll try to do or say whatever I can,â€? Mickelson said. â€œBut itâ€™s captain Watsonâ€™s team. Heâ€™s the leader. Itâ€™s been 21 years since the last time we won on foreign soil and the last time it happened, he was the leader. It was also the last year before I started making the teams. So Iâ€™m very honoured that I have the opportunity to play with him, play for him, and learn from him.â€?

Mickelson looks to Bouchard gets through to quarters at Wuhan Open overcome losing record at Ryder Cup led 3-1 in the last set. Cornetâ€™s win comes a day after she moved into the third round at the expense of an ill Serena Williams. Maria Sharapova was knocked out of the tournament by Swiss qualifier Timea Bacsinszky 7-6 (3), 7-5. Sharapova double-faulted six times in the first set, and was twice a break up in the second set, but couldnâ€™t shake off Bacsinszky, who earned the biggest win of her career with a win over the Russian ranked No. 4 in the world. Bacsinszky had two previous top10 wins, the last in 2010, but both

GLENEAGLES â€” Phil Mickelson is certainly proud to be playing in his U.S. record 10th consecutive Ryder Cup. Heâ€™d just rather not be reminded about those other records he holds in golfâ€™s premier team event. Mickelson has won five majors in his career but heâ€™s also a symbol of recent U.S. failures against Europe in a competition the Americans used to dominate. Since playing in his first Ryder Cup 19 years ago, Mickelson has been on the losing side seven out of nine times. Heâ€™s won 14 of his matches, but lost a U.S. record 18 matches â€” including a record five defeats in singles. So, he was asked by a British reporter on Wednesday, is the Ryder Cup record a â€œblotâ€? on your resume? â€œI wouldnâ€™t say it as eloquently as you did by calling it a blot,â€? a smiling Mickelson said. â€œBut I think that itâ€™s a record that Iâ€™d like to improve on.â€? The reporter pressed on, asking whether he was stung by the knowledge that he has lost more matches than any other American. â€œAre you always this half empty?â€? Mickelson said with a laugh. â€œIs that how you look at things? Because weâ€™re more optimistic here.â€? But the numbers donâ€™t lie. And Lefty knows that. â€œAbsolutely, I would like to improve my record,â€? he said. â€œThatâ€™s certainly a goal. It doesnâ€™t take too much to improve my winning percentage. â€? The 44-year-old Mickelson has qualified automatically for 10 Ryder Cups going back to 1995, when he went 3-0 as a rookie at Oak Hill. He hasnâ€™t required a captainâ€™s pick once during that time. â€œItâ€™s 20 years of Ryder Cups, I just canâ€™t believe it,â€? Mickelsonâ€™s teammate Keegan Bradley said. â€œItâ€™s amazing because you have to stay healthy, youâ€™ve got to stay sharp with your game. Itâ€™s going to be tough for somebody to do that. Youâ€™ve got to be super consistent for 20 years, which is almost impossible.â€? Mickelson and Bradley are expected to line up again together in Fridayâ€™s opening matches. They teamed up to go 3-0 two years ago in Medinah, where Europe overcame a 10-6 deficit after the first two days to win 14 Â˝-13 Â˝. â€œIâ€™m going to play again with Keegan,â€? Mickelson said. â€œI donâ€™t think Iâ€™m letting go of any secrets here. Weâ€™ve played together these first few rounds and we seem to have a good partnership, and he brings out some of my best golf.â€? Neither Mickelson nor Bradley has won a tournament this year. But the two feed off each other when it comes to the Ryder Cup. Bradley said he has been exchanging regular text messages with Mickelson, sending him video highlights of their matches together. Mickelson went out of his way to play up the Europeans as big favourites on home soil, suggesting the U.S. will have to play its best just to keep close, let alone win. The last time the U.S. won on the road was in 1993 at The Belfry. â€œWeâ€™re here without Tiger Woods,â€? Mickelson said. â€œWeâ€™re without Dustin Johnson. Weâ€™re without Jason Dufner. And weâ€™re playing a team that has players like McIlroy and (Henrik) Stenson who have played just incredible golf over the years. ... We have not won here in 20 years. Weâ€™ve got a team that is a heavy underdog and the expectations certainly arenâ€™t high. ... We need to play our best golf to make it a close match.â€? Yet, Mickelson couldnâ€™t resist a playful dig at his opponents. Asked whether the Americans were not as closely knit as the Europeans, he replied: â€œWell, not only are we able to play together, we also donâ€™t litigate against each other.â€? That was a reference to the lawsuit involving McIlroy and Graeme McDowell. McIlroy is suing his former management company. McDowell, represented by the same company, has been dragged into the case. â€œI couldnâ€™t resist,â€? Mickelson said. â€œSorry.â€?

Grand jury decides against charging NASCAR star Tony Stewart

Cat Zingano returns to cage after injury and family tragedy

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. — Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart will not be charged with the death of a fellow driver at a sprint car race in upstate New York, prosecutors said Wednesday in disclosing for the first time that the victim had enough marijuana in his system the night he died to impair his judgment. Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo said a grand jury decided against charging Stewart with either second-degree manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide in the Aug. 9 death of Kevin Ward Jr., who was struck and killed as he walked down the track in an apparent attempt to confront the NASCAR veteran after their cars got tangled up one lap earlier. “There is toxicology evidence in the case relating to Kevin Ward that indicates that at the time of operation he was under the influence of marijuana,” Tantillo said. “The levels determined were enough to impair judgment.” Tantillo also said two videos — one from a fan, the other from the tiny track in this New York hamlet — had been examined and enhanced. Both showed Stewart did not do anything wrong and that there was no “aberrational driving.” The decision came nearly seven weeks after Stewart’s car struck and killed Ward, sending shock waves through the top racing series in the United States. The brash and popular NASCAR driver known as “Smoke” spent three weeks in seclusion following what he called a tragic accident before quietly returning to the Sprint Cup circuit. One of the biggest stars in the garage, Stewart has 48

In this Sept. 13, 2014 photo, NASCAR driver Tony Stewart looks out from his garage during a practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill. career Cup wins in 542 starts but is winless this year and did not make the championship Chase field. “This has been the toughest and most emotional experience of my life, and it will stay with me forever,” Stewart said in a prepared statement. “While much of the attention has been on me, it’s important to remember a young man lost his life. Kevin Ward Jr.’s family and friends will always be in my thoughts and prayers.” The Ward family indicated in a statement read over the telephone by his sister, Kayla Herring, that they will seek civil damages. “Our son got out of his car during caution when the race was suspended. All the other vehicles were reducing speed and not accelerating except for Stewart, who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car toward him, causing the tragedy,”

the family said. “The focus should be on the actions of Mr. Stewart. This matter is not at rest and we will pursue all remedies in fairness to Kevin.” The grand jurors were not considering whether anybody else was at fault, Tantillo said. “However, I am sure from their deliberations and discussions that the fact that Kevin Ward was observed running basically down two thirds of the track, into a hot track, into the middle of other cars that were racing, played a big, big factor in their decision,” he said. “Realistically, I think judgment is probably the most important factor in this case.” Sheriff Philip Povero spent weeks investigating, several times saying he did not have evidence to suggest Stewart meant to harm the other driver.

UFC

Cat Zingano was a raw bundle of emotions as she walked in for her UFC debut in April 2013 against Miesha (Cupcake) Tate at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. She was smiling, clapping and then suddenly fighting back tears. Zingano, the first mother to fight in the UFC, entered the cage and ran her hand along the top of the Octagon as if she wanted to feel every part of the moment. Asked after the bout what had been going through her mind, she replied: “Stop crying.” “It was just really surreal,” said Zingano, who defeated Tate by third-round TKO to secure a title shot. “I was overwhelmed definitely by the opportunity. I knew I’d be excited, I knew that it was going to be amazing. But I don’t think I had any idea how much it would impact me from the inside out. “It just felt great, it felt really, really special to me tonight. This moment will be hard to top. ... This is exactly what I wanted.” She later admitted she was “out of control” during her walkout, after a difficult training camp with things “a little rocky” outside of training. One can only imagine the roiling emotions when Zingano (8-0) enters the cage Saturday night to face Amanda Nunes (9-3) at UFC 178 in Las Vegas. Since beating Tate, the 32-year-old from Broomfield, Colo., suffered serious injuries to both knees that derailed her career. Then in January, her husband and jiu-jitsu coach Mauricio Zingano took his own life. “My life has changed irrevocably,” Cat Zingano said in a state-

ment at the time. “I am shocked and deeply saddened. Thankfully, my family and friends are coming together to provide the support I need. I am grateful for them, as I know there are many difficult days ahead.” Zingano is still not talking about the family tragedy, as noted by a UFC official in advance of a pre-UFC178 interview. But she is healthy and looking to reclaim the title shot she earned by beating Tate, saying she had never doubted she would be back in the sport. Asked what emotions will run through her mind on the weekend, Zingano paused. “I’m very driven,” she said. “I’m feeling very resilient. There’s some (of the) same pressures, there’s some different pressures. There’s new pressures, there’s old pressures. All of it is stuff that I function very well under, so ultimately it’s a good outlet for me and good for my life. “I can’t wait to get my hands on someone.” That would be Nunes, a 26-year-old Brazilian who trains out of Miami. Nunes is coming off first-round stoppages of Sheila (The German Tank) Gaff and Germaine (The Iron Lady) de Randamie. Despite the long layoff, Zingano is ranked No. 1 among women’s 135-pound contenders while Nunes, known as The Lioness, is No. 8. The Tate win earned Zingano — whose nickname is Alpha — a role as coach opposite champion (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey on Season 18 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” Tate took over when the knee injuries sidelined Zingano.

B8 RED DEER ADVOCATE Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014

Soaring deer populations pose threat to pilots BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Long the bane of gardeners and unwary motorists, soaring deer populations are also nuisances for airports and threats to pilots, especially at this time of year, according to aviation and wildlife experts. Whether driven by hunger or just crazy for love, deer will do seemingly anything to get onto airport grounds and runways, including leaping over tall fences or squeezing under them. Once there, they like to warm themselves by sauntering on runways, which hold heat longer than bare ground. But put a deer and a plane together and both can have a very bad day. From 1990 to 2013, there were 1,088 collisions between planes and deer, elk, moose and caribou, according to a recent joint report by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Agriculture Department. Most of the planes suffered damage, and some were de-

stroyed, the report said. One person was killed and 29 others injured. No mention is made of the fate of the deer. The vast majority of collisions involved white-tailed deer, the smallest member of the North American deer family, but big enough to wreck a plane. There were only about 350,000 of the creatures in the U.S. in 1900. By 1984 there were 15 million and by 2010 more than 28 million. They’ve caused $44 million in aircraft damage and 238,000 hours of lost flying time over the past 24 years. About 30 per cent of collisions occurred during the October-November mating season. Last month in Florida, the propeller of a small plane landing at night at the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport struck a deer, causing the plane’s front landing gear to collapse, according to local police. The pilot and three passengers were unhurt. Most collisions involve small planes, but airliners occasionally tangle with deer as well. A US Airways jet plowed

through a herd of deer shortly after landing at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina in October 2010. At least one deer became entangled in the plane’s main landing gear and the runway had to be closed for about 40 minutes while the mess was being cleaned up. Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, many larger airports have built tall fences topped with barbed wire, mostly as a security measure but also to keep deer and other wildlife out, said Richard Dolbeer, an Agriculture Department science adviser and coauthor of the report. Airports also use sharpshooters to eliminate deer that manage to make their way under fences or through cracks, he said. “Just an 8-inch gap and they can squeeze through,” Dolbeer said. But smaller airports that serve mainly private pilots have been slower to install deer-proof fences, he said. As a result, deer collisions have dropped significantly at large airports, but only

slightly at smaller airports, he said. Last year, there were 33 collisions, he said. The College Park Airport in Maryland is a smaller airport struggling to keep deer out. It is bordered on one side by a park and lake, and on the other by an industrial area. Nearly every day airport employees get into a truck, flip on the siren and charge toward deer into order to scatter them off the grounds so planes can take off or land. A 7-foot fence was built a few years ago along the border of the park, but a beaver chewed through a tree, which fell on the fence and allowed the deer back in. The airport then put up an 8-foot fence with barbed wire. The deer just walked around the airport to the industrial park and leapt over a 6-foot fence on that side. The airport now plans to build a taller fence there as well. “Nature found a way,” said Langston Majette, the airport’s senior operations specialist.

Have you seen this teen? RED DEER POLICE RAMP UP EFFORTS TO TRACK DOWN MISSING YOUTH BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer RCMP have stepped up efforts to locate missing persons. Since June, local police have sent out 28 alerts for missing youth — six in June; eight in July, five in August and nine in September. All the young people have been located except for Andy Ferrier, 17, who was reported missing on Sept. 17, and Charrissa Calfchild, 15, who was reported missing on Sept. 3. Police have always sent out releases alerting the public when someone goes missing. But lately there seems to be a flurry of media releases. Red Deer RCMP Cpl. Leanne Molzahn says there is not necessarily a spike in missing youth. She said hiring communications staffer in November 2013 has allowed the police to send out more alerts than ever to the public. “It has been proven that media releases are really effective,” said Molzahn.

“

The RCMP takes missing persons reports very seriously, especially those involving the vulnerable. That includes our children and youth. — RCMP Cpl. Leanne Molzahn “The RCMP is committed to the safety and security of all citizens. The RCMP takes missing persons reports very seriously, especially those involving the vulnerable. That includes our children and youth.” She said the public is also becoming a little more aware of the issue. There is no set time frame for when

a person is considered missing. Each case is examined by an investigator who determines if it warrants a release. “In some circumstances, it is a case of a younger child or someone with a disability ... that may warrant something going out sooner,” said Molzahn. “Our goal is to locate those missing

quickly and in good health, regardless of their circumstances.” Rose Hatfield, Youth and Volunteer Centre of Red Deer program manager, applauded the police’s proactive efforts. Hatfield also does not think there is an increase in the number of missing youth, but praised the increased attention to the issue within the city. Hatfield said she appreciates the updates on the missing youth, which include letting the public know the person has been found. “Even when one child is missing, everybody gets that awful knot in your stomach,” said Hatfield. “When they post that they are found safe, it is ‘Thank God.’ ” The centre operates a nine-bed youth shelter in the summer and a Youth Winter Inn program in the colder months. As part of its admittance procedure and policy, the shelter will send a clearance check to the RCMP to ensure the youth is not missing or has any outstanding warrants. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Air force helps in rescue of hiker west of Nordegg BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF An injured hiker was airlifted from a trail west of Nordegg on Monday afternoon after breaking his leg on the Landslide Lake trail. Rescuers had to hike in two km with a stretcher to retrieve the injured man, who was then transported to Rocky Mountain House via a military helicopter that just happened to be in the area. The drama started on Monday afternoon when a distressed hiker came into the Cline River Heliport on Hwy 11 west of Nordegg, said Andrew Crane, a pilot with Rockies Heli Tour at the heliport. “The hiker said he had a medical emergency and his friend had broken his leg on the hike down from Landslide Lake,” said Crane. By luck, there were military helicopters in the area. The Edmontonbased 408 tactical helicopter squadron was conducting an exercise in the area, which included a CH-146 Griffon helicopter.

RED DEER COUNTY

“I contacted them on the radio (at about 3:45 p.m.) and asked if they were willing to help out and go get him,” said Crane. “They said ‘Yes’ and we gave them the latitude and longitude of where the injured guy was and they went out there.” The injured hiker had to be carried out of the woods by stretcher about two km before he was loaded into the Royal Canadian Air Force helicopter and taken to Rocky hospital. The helicopter landed at the trailhead just off of Hwy 11. According to a release from the air force public affairs, the helicopter landed in challenging terrain and the first officer and flight engineer helped carry the stretcher through the rugged terrain to the waiting helicopter. The hiker was then airlifted to Rocky Mountain House Health Centre, where hospital staff were awaiting having been alerted to the helicopter’s arrival. When the RCAF left, the hiker was conscious and under hospital care. “The aircraft commander acted decisively and took appropriate action to preserve life in this situation. We’re certainly glad we were able to assist,”

A CH-146 Griffon helicopter, as shown in this file photo, was used by the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron to rescue a severely injured hiker on Monday. said Lt.-Col. Red MacDonnell, 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron commanding officer. “While we are not primarily a search and rescue squadron, this incident shows the flexibility of air power and that all RCAF aircraft can add to the search and rescue role to assist Canadians in need.” Crane said this was the worst injury he has seen in the region this year. In the past, he has gone out to help hikers, including one who sprained an ankle and couldn’t hike back down and another who broke a tailbone.

“If they fall down and get injured on a really long back country hike, then they can’t really hike back out,” said Crane. “We’ll go and help them out and at least get them to the road and they can decide what they want to do from there.” The helicopter squadron was conducting a landing zone reconnaissance flight in support of the third battalion of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry Basic Mountain Operations course. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

SHARING A PERCH

Gravel fight finally over? BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Residents who waged a successful five-year battle against a Markervillearea gravel pit say enough is enough. This week, Red Deer County’s subdivision and development appeal board upheld a decision rejecting an application by 6M Holdings Ltd. to open a gravel pit next to the Medicine River, a few kilometres south of Markerville. It was the fourth time incarnations of the project have been turned down by the county’s municipal planning commission or on appeal. In each case, opposing landowners have mobilized to attend hearings and open houses and even hired lawyers to fight the project. Residents have repeatedly expressed their frustration that they are required to re-fight the same battle. Dean Sundquist said the county needs to declare the gravel pit area — which falls in a county-designated Environmentally Significant Area and sits on an important alluvial aquifer and a floodway — off limits to future applications.

Sharing a perch, a dragonfly and a grasshopper were spotted at McKenzie Trails Recreation Area on Wednesday. Through this summer, an abundance of dragonflies have been noticed in Red Deer Parks and near wetlands. Dragonflies are among the fastest flying insects in the world and can fly backwards, change direction in mid-air and hover for up to a minute. They are major predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, wasps and very, rarely butterflies. Although dragonflies are predators, they themselves are subject to being preyed upon by birds, lizards, frogs, spiders, fish, water bugs, and even other large dragonflies.

BRIEFS Police seek help in finding missing Manitoba man Red Deer police are seeking the public’s help in locating a missing 43-year-old Manitoba man. David Barker was last seen on Sept. 20 at around 6 a.m. when he left the Red Deer residence where he was staying. Barker is from Baden, Man., and arrived in Red Deer on Sept. 19 to visit family. He may be in Calgary or Edmonton. Barker is described as aboriginal, 1.78 metres (five-foot-10 inches) tall and weighs 86 kg (190 pounds). He was last seen wearing a black Sons of Anarchy T-shirt, dark blue jeans and blue or black running shoes. He was driving a Ford Explorer Eddie Bower Edition, dark green with brown leather inside; possibly a 1996-1997 model. No photo of Barker is available. If you have any information on Barker’s whereabouts, contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575.

Ponoka’s new CAO arrives from Saskatchewan Ponoka has a new top administrator. Rachel Kunz started work this week as the town’s chief administrative officer (CAO). She comes from Saskatchewan, where she was CAO of the Rural Municipality of Sherwood, which surrounds the City of Regina. Kunz has also worked as an administrator for a number of northern Saskatchewan municipalities. The town’s director of corporate services, Betty Quinlan, has been acting CAO since January when the previous administrator was let go by town council.

Stantec raises $7,500, food for local charity Stantec employees in Red Deer pitched in last week to help raise $7,500 in cash donations and 3,175 kg of food for the Red Deer Food Bank. During the Stantec in the Community Day on Sept. 15, the company’s 5,500 employees from Canada to India, and points between, volunteered at community organizations. In Red Deer, almost 80 staff from the design firm volunteered to help out the local food bank. The staff rallied the business community and city residents to raise donations and also to raise awareness.

This arbour tunnel has been a refuge of green along the trail system in the Waskasoo subdivision along the Red Deer River in Red Deer all summer. But it is gradually turning to a tunnel of yellow. Tuesday marked the first full day of fall with the autumnal equinox occurring Monday evening. For the next three months, the days will be getting progressively shorter and the nights longer. But on Wednesday, day and night were each 12 hours in length. Uptown Cinema Centre, currently has a marquee-style canopy sign. This will be replaced with two LED displays, each measuring 5.5 metres by 1.5 metres (18 feet by five feet). “We have lots of events going on during the course of a year, and this is a great way for us to promote those events to the city and patrons who do come there on a regular basis,” said Jim Brinkhurst, RDC’s vice-president of college services. City council voted on Sept. 2 to amend Red Deer’s land use bylaw to allow dynamic signs on the downtown building. Municipal planning commission approval was still needed for a development permit, which it granted on Wednesday. The college has said that City Centre Stage will be renamed in recognition of a gift from a family, with details still to be disclosed. The commission heard that the donor wants the character of the existing sign to be preserved. The structural integrity of the canopy has been checked, Brinkhurst told the commission. He added that the new dynamic signs should be less of a distraction to motorists than the existing signs, because they will contain

less information. The new signs will rotate through different messages, including promotions of activities inside and college events elsewhere, said Brinkhurst. He said the signs, which will cost about $80,000, should be operational by late fall.

information that may assist the police in identifying the suspects, is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

The Sea-Doos are described as yellow and black 1998 Bombardiers with the serial numbers ZZN27372B898 and ZZN31208C898. The trailer is a black Shorelander, VIN 1MDDD9L17WA947539. Anyone who comes in contact with any of the stolen items, or who has

Red Deer RCMP have charged a suspect in the early Monday morning stabbing incident. At about 4:30 a.m., police were called to a residence on Hermary Street in the Highland Green neighbourhood after a person was cut on the arm and the forehead. A woman suffered a minor injury to her hand when she tried to intervene. The suspect left the residence on foot and a short time later, a patrolling officer spotted him in Riverside Meadows, where he was arrested. The victims were taken to hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Leslie Gerard Makokis, 33, of Red Deer is charged one count of assault with a weapon. Makokis remains in custody, and will appear in court on Friday in provincial court in Red Deer.

GRAVEL: Limit sought on number of applications are judged. Adele McKechnie, John’s wife, said the county has made it a priority to be more environmentally responsible within its boundaries. “In our opinion, (for the appeal board) to do anything other than what they did basically would not support that.”

McKechnie was encouraged by the bigpicture approach taken by the appeal board. “We’ve been saying that for years, that you can’t keep taking these applications one by one by one and say, ‘Oh this one isn’t going to hurt. That one isn’t going to hurt.’ “They need to look at

what already has happened and what a new (gravel pit) is going to add to that.” 6M Holdings Ltd. owner Wendell Miller said on Wednesday he was considering his options but did not want to comment further. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Six times — including a separate gravel pit proposal nearby — applications have been denied in the area, said Sundquist, who lives about two km north of the gravel pit site. “Specifically, there needs to be a limit as to how many applications are brought forward over and over in the same area,” he said. He suggested a “twice-and-you’re-out” approach be taken for similar repeat applications. John McKechnie said many residents believe the county’s development department is “totally dysfunctional” and is not interpreting policies such as the Environmentally Significant Areas in the way intended. Too much is left open to interpretation, landowners argue. One thing all of the opposing residents interviewed agree on is that the appeal board made the right decision. They were pleased that the five-person appeal panel recognized the importance of the Environmentally Significant Area and the implications of its location on a flood plain and above an aquifer. It was significant that the board recognized the cumulative impact of a new gravel pit, rather than treating each application in isolation. Dale Christian, who has been a vocal advocate for protecting aquifers, flood plains and the waterways from risky development, said the decision is “precedent setting” and it is hoped it is the standard by which other similar projects

The joys of fall My days of yore were always crazy daze around the autumnal equinox. The rig was a constant confusion of fishing tackle, waders, dogs and their gear, decoy bags, shotguns, shells. …. When we left on a Saturday morning, we seldom knew where we were going or what we’d be doing: some fall fly fishing, maybe, grouse hunting, perhaps, water fowling, what? Sometimes all of the above. They tell me it is even better, now that Sunday hunting is lawful in most of the province. Unfortunately, my rig’s load is now reduced to a walker in the back, maybe a camera or two, and sometimes my new scooter BOB on its trailer SCAMMELL hitch platform. This is a vintage year for fall colours. The early equinoctial storm and killing frost that followed it were not sufficient to kill the green leaves and rendering them dry and dull gray as a big blizzard and following freeze did on Sept. 14 a few years ago. Fall fishing was always my favourite, not the least for the glorious colours of the foliage. But the storm and freeze that was not enough to kill the colour seems to have slowed the usually fascinating fall fishing in Alberta’s best trout areas. From the southwest corner of the province to west Central Alberta, anglers are reporting cold and cloudy rivers and streams and very slow fishing, the result of the snow runoff from that storm. Surely, everyone hopes, things will pick up with this hot run of ‘First Nations’ summer? A report, as I write this, tells of some recent really hot fishing to backswimmer and water boatmen hatches on various west Central Alberta stocked lakes. If the warm spell continues, rivers and streams should clear, warm and provide action to big brown, brook, and even bull trout spawners as they move upstream and pause occasionally to feed-up on the fall protein provided mostly by terrestrial insects: beetles, grasshoppers and ants. Occasionally in the fall, there will be a good aquatic insect hatch, mostly various species of caddis flies, occasionally the giant fall, or October caddis, that can really put the trout on “the bite.” We’ll have more dull, drizzly, cool days before freeze-up, and that often produces a hatch of the tiniest bluewinged olives that the trout often prefer to even the meatiest terrestrial insects. Some becalmed anglers have been enjoying a late summer, early fall wild mushroom bonanza: aspen bolete, the provincial mushroom, and particularly roadside of regiments of shaggy manes emerging in the heat after the snow melt. Back in the 1960s, we had regional Fish and Wildlife biologists who actually worked in the field instead of dinking away at computer models like the do today. They actually did spring drumming counts to accurately assess ruffed grouse population numbers. Without such counts, it is hard to get a reading on ruffed grouse numbers because, to start with, the people who hunt them seriously are secretive sorts and often wait to get started until a good wind

A couple of examples of some good fall fishing or two improves visibility by blowing those colourful fall leaves away. Neil Waugh, outdoors columnist for the Edmonton Sun and his Labrador, Penny, are ruffed grouse fanatics, but have been out only once, so far. They got one flush that time, but, Neil says, “I didn’t see the bird because of all the leaves.” Since then, it has been too hot. “I hate hunting in the heat,” Neal says, “when there are mozzies about.” With regard to counting other upland game, there are people, like Rick Martin, wildlife projects manager for the Eastern Irrigation District at Brooks, who actually get out in the spring dawn darkness and do pheasant crowing counts and spy on leks, sharp tail grouse dancing grounds. This spring’s counts showed promise for the pheasant season starting Oct. 15, with a surprising bonus of good sharp tail numbers. Martin says that after a long, hard winter, he was pleasantly surprised with the spring upland bird counts in the EID. Pheasant crowing counts were up 43 per cent from 2013, just five per cent below the 35-year average, and sharp tail lek counts were up 42 per cent from last year, and an astonishing 35 per cent above the 18-year average. But the spring counts are never the whole story with upland birds in Alberta. The nesting success of those birds counted in the spring is critical to the bird numbers in the fall. From the reports I am receiving from landowners and other serious observers in upland country of bunches of birds showing up recently, the nesting season was a success with high chick survival, mainly owing to favourable weather conditions in late May and on into June. This fall equinox multi-tasking time generally ends with the start of many big game seasons on Nov. 1. An angler who was “enjoying” six hours of slow time on Stump Ranch water recently reported sighting half a dozen white tail does and predicted “there’ll have to be some bucks around in November.” Yes, there always are. … Bob Scammell is an award-winning columnist who lives in Red Deer.

Once the majority of the branch is removed, make the final cut close to another branch or trunk, making sure not to damage the collar. Do not worry about using sealant or pruning paint on the cuts as it does not seal the cut to prevent insects or diseases from entering the tree. When removing damaged branches from shrubs, cut back to another branch or the ground. Shrubs will send up new growth from the roots that will fill in areas where damaged wood has been removed. Trees and shrubs that have lost over one-third of their top growth will send out a multitude of new growth in the form of watersprouts and suckers next growing season. Remove suckers as they appear, unless the roots are the only part of the tree that survived. In that case, prune back the watersprouts or suckers where needed to make a well shaped plant. Trees are replaceable. If the tree is not going to be healthy or pleasing to the eye when all the damage is removed, it is best to remove the whole

tree. Before making that decision, understand that cutting the top off of a tree that is prone to suckering will trigger the tree’s survival mechanism, which means that a multitude of suckers will appear. Killing the tree before cutting it down will stop the suckering. Often the worst part of tree removal is dealing with the stump. It is possible to hire companies that will come in with a machine and grind stumps away. A slower method is to purchase stump remover chemical and follow the instructions. Make informed choices when repairing damage to trees, since replacing them is costly in time and money. Fortunately, there are many people who hold an arborist certificate or could be grandfathered in who are available to do the work.

FALL TUNE-UPS:

WINTER IS COMING: Winterizing your vehicle

By Jason Lundgren

Jerry Jakowicki of Jerry’s Auto Repair in Red Deer provides tips to Central Alberta drivers prepping for winter. As the popular TV-show, Game of Thrones, says: “Winter is Coming” and no one knows the true significance of that line better than Central Albertans. With the onset of winter comes the dreaded thought of winter driving and the only thing worse than that is driving through snow and ice in a vehicle you do not trust. But winter driving does not have to be this scary, as long as you take some small steps to ensure that you are prepared before the storm hits. Central Albertans have to take special precautions for winter – not just because of the horrific winter conditions, but also because many of us drive outside of the city; and the propensity of getting stuck on a lonely road in -40 degrees is greatly enhanced if you do not prepare.

with anti-freeze is also critical. Antifreeze is a necessary additive to ensure the hoses and engine do not freeze and cause a catastrophic failure. It is recommended to change your antifreeze every two years or so. In Central Alberta you need an anti-freeze that can withstand temperatures of at least -35 degrees, though you could get the -45 degrees just to be safe. Be sure to check all hoses in your vehicle, says McBee. “If there are any leaks in your vehicle’s hoses they could burst in frigid temperatures,” he says. “Last year I saw power-steering hoses burst.” Having the right tires could be the difference between safely making it to your destination and sliding into the ditch. Always make sure your tires’ treads have not worn through. If you have all-season’s tires be sure they have at least a 50 per cent tread. It is strongly recommended, however,

Jay McBee, of Red Deer’s Total AutoWorks & Repair, sums up the need to prepare for winter. “If you have a poorly running vehicle in the summer, it won’t start in the winter.” The first thing to do is to have your vehicle checked for any hazardous signs of wear and tear. Spotting potential problems early could save you from spending the night on a snowy highway. If you are not an expert under-the-hood of your vehicle, have it checked by a certified mechanic. Be sure to check your battery, alternator, suspension and brakes. Also check your vehicle’s belts: they are an inexpensive piece of rubber but they are essential to the performance of your car. “Make sure the belts are in good condition,” Jerry Jakowicki says, of Jerry’s Auto Repair in Red Deer. “Make sure there aren’t any cracks or that they’re glazed —if they are they tend to slip.” Block heaters warm an engine, making it even possible to start your vehicle in cold weather. Therefore, a well-running block heater is essential for our winter. “Test your block heater,” Jakowicki says. “It shouldn’t be discolored in the block and test it for continuity.” Making sure your vehicle is well-stocked

Serious business for Red Deer limo companies

When batteries only last the long luxury rides an average of 14 months, prepping for the festive season is no oneday undertaking. Cracked belts. Filter changes. Rad flushes. You think your automotive to-do list before the snow flies is long, try owning a fleet of luxury vehicles. “I do everything myself on my vehicles but it’s still like anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per vehicle to get ready for winter,” said Kevin Boulley, owner of A Limo & Sedan Service in Red Deer. Boulley, who said he owns the longest Chrysler 300 in Canada, makes sure to wax and shampoo every car as well as check fluids and antifreeze levels. “Waxing keeps the sand and salt from doing any damage,” he said. “I do a three stage wax on that Chrysler and undercoat the bottom and store it in a heated garage.” While Boulley has five cars to

prep and pretty, Arrow Limousine and Sedan Services starts routine winter maintenance early in September for its 17 vehicles. “As limos do a lot of idling, there is more wear and tear on the pulleys and fluids and things like that,” said Paul Richard, Arrow’s owner since 1985. “The batteries are something we always do this time of year. In our industries, the limousines really take a beating electronically. We have so many stereos and subwoofers and lights and lasers going on that we only get 14 months out of a battery, even though other vehicles can have batteries that last their lifetimes,” Richard said. New winter tires for several of the vehicles are also purchased almost every year, he added. “Because limousines are a heavier vehicle, we have to use a weight graded tire. I like to use the Blizzak on all our sedans and a Nokian type of tire is a good name as well. Michelin has a nice alpine tire too.” Arrow’s lead man when it comes to maintenance, Keith Dixon, has already been busy checking the tires, molding sealing, brake rotors and belts and hoses. “We also run antifreeze through lines on the two buses with

bathrooms so no pipes bust,” said Dixon. “We do a rad flush every fall . . . 60/40 mix for -40 C below.” Winter tune-ups at Arrow are around $2,400 per car, Richard noted. Last winter, with its heavy snowfall, was rough for vehicles across Central Alberta but neither company had any problems with its fleet. “Some nights, I was the only guy on the road,” said Boulley. “People can’t get a cab and it’s too cold to

walk so they call me . . . And the Hummer H2, the snow didn’t slow us down last season in that.”

(MS) Watching leaves turn brilliant shades of colour and fall from the trees is a favourite activity each fall. Drivers travel near and far to witness spectacular and colourful displays of fall foliage, hoping to catch the peak hues in their respective areas of the country. While falling leaves can be a sight to behold, those leaves can become a nuisance to drivers in various ways. Understanding certain inconveniences and safety risks posed by falling leaves can help motorists protect their vehicle and themselves. Staining Leaves can do more than just stain driveways; they also can damage a vehicle’s paint job. Should wet leaves, sap and other chemicals that leach out of the leaves stay on a car for an extended period of time, they can cause an outline stain and damage to the paint. It’s important to manually pick leaves off of the car’s surface right after they fall. Do not sweep them away; otherwise the leaves can scratch the paint surface. When all the leaves have been removed, thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle. Should stains be present already, use a commercial leaf-stain remover or automotive paint cleaner. Tackle one stain at a time.

Clogging Leaves that fall can become trapped in air intake vents, eventually impeding flow and causing odors. Leaves that fall in the groove of the windshield by the windshield wipers should be removed. Use a highpowered shop vacuum to remove any leaves that are embedded in the venting. Check other areas of the car where leaves can become problematic, such as under the vehicle or in the rear exhaust pipe. Slippery surfaces The Car Care Council notes that wet leaves on the surface of roadways can be hazardous. Wet leaves can make roadways quite slippery, even as slippery as roadways when snow is falling. Drivers should slow down when roads are covered with wet leaves and take turns and off-ramps more carefully. Dry leaves also can pose problems, as they tend to accumulate at the edges of roads, where they easily can obscure curbs or street markings. Leaves may fill potholes, giving the false impression that a road is smooth and causing damage to tires and suspension systems when drivers drive over them. Autumn leaves may be beautiful to see, but they can complicate driving and fall car care. Motorists should keep their cars clear of leaves and use caution on roadways.

that with the winters we get, to invest in winter tires. Winter tires greatly improve the grip of your vehicle on snow and ice – thus, improving the reactions of your car. McBee definitely recommends them. “I’ve never had a customer regret getting winter tires.” Finally, and perhaps most importantly, always have a winter emergency kit in your vehicle. A proper kit should have: flairs, a first-aid kit, blankets, a flashlight, and booster cables. A fully-charged phone is also a good idea, though in certain places, you may not get cell service; and even if you did contact help, it might be a long time before they arrive. Winter driving will never be fun, but hopefully by following these tips, this year will not be quite so stressful. Because, as we all know, winter is coming.

No IHOP for Red Deer, yet BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR

INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PANCAKES

Medicine Hat is getting one, and Lethbridge has had one for three years. Red Deer, however, will have to wait to get an IHOP Restaurant — at least for now. Daniel del Olmo, president of International DineEquity Inc. — which owns the IHOP (International House Of Pancakes) brand — said Wednesday that Red Deer is a strong candidate for one of his company’s restaurants. But the city is not currently on its list of pending sites. John Sikking, who has the IHOP franchise rights for Alberta, told the Edmonton Journal last week that he’d like to expand into Red Deer. Sikking already operates IHOPs in Lethbridge and Edmonton, and has two in Calgary. He’s planning to open another in each of Medicine Hat, Edmonton and Calgary. Del Olmo confirmed that Red Deer is on the radar. “We don’t have anything signed as of yet, or anything official to share in regards to Red Deer opportunities, (but) we very much believe Red Deer, along

with Edmonton, along with Calgary are great development opportunities for us.” Del Olmo added that Grand Prairie and Fort McMurray are also considered attractive sites by Glendale, Calif.-based International DineEquity. “There are a number of key locations that make perfect sense for IHOP, and quite frankly for Applebee’s as well,” he said, referring to the other major restaurant brand that International DineEquity owns. Applebee’s operated at Gaetz Avenue Crossing in Red Deer until last year. The restaurant chain now only has two locations in Alberta — both in Calgary. Del Olmo said his company has closed restaurants that aren’t profitable. But it also tries to find a better location in which to operate in those communities, retaining the same franchisee, he added. He’s optimistic more Applebee’s will open in Alberta. “While we don’t have any specific plans to this day for Red Deer, I would expect, provided we get the right opportunity from a location standpoint,

we would absolutely look at it jointly with our partners.” International DineEquity set up an international division last December, with an eye to growing its IHOP and Applebee’s brands outside of the United States. Canada figures prominently in this initiative, said del Olmo, and a site developer who is responsible for this country only has been appointed. “We believe that he, along with our franchise partners, will bring us many opportunities for the right site in the right location in the right market — including Red Deer.” Founded in Los Angeles in 1958, International House of Pancakes began expanding via franchising two years later. It became know as IHOP in 1973. As of June 30 this year there were 1,632 IHOP restaurants in the United States and other countries, including 23 in Canada. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

GALAXY NOTE 4

BRIEF MPC approves plan for Southpointe Junction subdivision Red Deer’s municipal planning commission has granted an extension of the time for the subdivision of lands for a proposed shopping centre and residential development in the southwest part of the city. The commission had approved a plan of subdivision for Southpointe Junction on Feb. 23, 2011. However, developer Qualico Developments West Ltd. never registered the plan at Land Titles, and the approval expired. On Wednesday, the commission heard that Qualico wants a one-year extension so that it can proceed with minor changes to the original plan. Members agreed to an extension until Sept. 24, 2015. Southpointe Junction is located west of Taylor Drive, north of 19th Street and south of Red Deer College. Plans call for a mix of commercial and residential space. Comment from Qualico about the extension and its plans could not immediately be obtained.

In surprise move, NDP endorse Canada’s new trade pact with Korea OTTAWA — The federal NDP says it is getting behind the Canada-Korea free trade pact. The party says it has some concerns about the deal, but on balance, it considers the agreement a good deal for Canada. The Harper government has long accused the NDP of opposing free trade deals generally. New Democrats say they won’t sign on to any deal without seeing the details. In the case of the Korean pact, which is now before the House of Commons, the NDP says it will level the playing field with other countries, such as the United States and the European Union, which have their own agreements with Korea. It will also give Canadian companies a foothold in a key Asian market. While the New Democrats will vote for the agreement, trade critic Don Davies said an NDP government would have gone for a better deal. In a statement issued Wednesday, he criticized the government for including what he calls an unnecessary dispute settlement mechanism and for failing to win protections for the auto industry. “The South Korean government aggressively promotes exports and their automotive industry,” Davies said. “Conservatives have been failing our country’s manufacturing sector and must do more to ensure Canada’s automotive sector has the support it needs to succeed in an increasingly competitive global market.” The Conservatives are touting the deal as a major lift for Canadian companies. “This agreement is very important to Canada,” Trade Minister Ed Fast told the Commons on Wednesday. “It is going to increase our exports by 32 per cent. We expect it to add close to $2 billion of economic activity to our economy.”

Court partially certifies Canadian class action lawsuit in Mt. Gox collapse TORONTO — The Ontario Superior Court has partially certified a class action lawsuit on behalf of everyone in Canada who lost Bitcoins and other currency in the collapse of the Mt. Gox Bitcoin exchange, a Toronto law firm said Wednesday. Charney Lawyers said the partial certification paves the way for the court to consider whether to approve a settlement reached in June between the plaintiffs and the defendants Jed McCaleb, a part owner of the online exchange based in Japan, and Gonzague Gay-Bouchery, the exchange’s former chief marketing officer and manager of business development. The case was not certified against the defendants Mt. Gox KK, MtGox Inc., Mt. Gox North America Inc., Tibanne KK, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., and Mark Karpeles, who was the CEO of Mt. Gox, all of whom deny all liability. The lawsuit claims $500 million in compensation. Charney Lawyers said the settlement is contingent on the trustee in bankruptcy of Mt. Gox KK approving and implementing a plan in Japan to restore the exchange under a new ownership structure in which the class members will have a 16.5 per cent interest. The plan would also compensate the class members with a pro rata share of 200,000 Bitcoins that were discovered after the class action began, Charney Lawyers said, adding that the recovered Bitcoins have a value of about US$100 million.

Rather, it might be BlackBerry that faces more problems if the Passport doesn’t catch on with the business users it wants to attract. Nearly a year ago, Chen was brought on board at the struggling company to help dig it out of a financial pit and reshape its business model. So far, he has completed a major restructuring of its operations through cost cuts, layoffs and a shift in the company’s overall strategy. The Passport is the next step. The device is comparable in size to a Canadian passport, a point which Chen demonstrated by placing the phone against the government-issued identification booklet. It has a square screen that measures 11.4 cm (4.5 inches) diagonally and a keyboard the company said is four times more accurate for the user than the phone’s competitors. However, CIBC analyst Todd Coupland said BlackBerry will need more than just one unique and marketable product to recover its presence in the technology sector. “Does this by itself flip the switch for BlackBerry and turn them around? I don’t think so,” he said. “Chen has made some reasonable first steps. He’s had a pragmatic approach, and this is another OK step, but (they’ve) got a ways to go still.” Priced at $699 in Canada before carrier subsidies, the Passport is angled towards health care professionals, government workers and the military, sectors in the market that embrace technology through big orders and stick with a device for years.

their smartphones mostly for work — represents about 30 per cent of mobile phone users, Chen said. Among the Passport’s defining features is a wider screen, which makes the phone ideal for viewing documents and spreadsheets, the company says. The keyboard has also been reworked from previous BlackBerry models to remove a row of keys and merge the space bar into the bottom row. The number keys and other functions are now incorporated into an on-screen extension of the keyboard. It’s a different look for BlackBerry that may take some getting used to, though Chen said he believes it will change how business professionals use their mobile devices. “I no longer bring any laptops around when I go to business meetings,” he added. “This is powerful enough as a tool.” Aside from the new phone, the company also showcased its new BlackBerry Blend application, which securely links a user’s smartphone and data like email, BBM and other documents, seamlessly with their nearby computer or tablet through the Internet. When asked why Canada was a priority for BlackBerry, Chen said he believes it’s important to recapture the audience who first embraced the phone. “It’ll take time,” he said. “The best place to start is at the home team plate.” Before the end of this year, the Passport is expected to be available in 30 countries. In Canada, the phone will be sold by all three major wireless carriers, Rogers (TSX:RCI.B), Bell (TSX:BCE) and Telus (TSX:T). Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy models have been encroaching on the business market where BlackBerry was once considered nearly untouchable with its dominant market share. The company has responded by opening up its secure enterprise platform to support Apple and Android smartphones in the workplace. It has also recently announced a partnership with Amazon’s app store that makes about 20,000 Android apps available on BlackBerry, including Netflix, Intstagram and Pinterest.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market finished nearly flat Wednesday amid a report showing surging new home sales in the United States but signs that the recovery in other economies may be weaker than anticipated. The S&P/TSX composite index lost 5.13 points to 15,120.54. The Canadian dollar added 0.10 of a cent to 90.44 cents US. Gareth Watson, vicepresident of investment and research at Richardson GMP Ltd., said the overall pressure on markets may be the result of falling commodity prices and investors taking a larger view of the economy. “We’re in a quiet period of the quarter,” he said. “Nothing is really coming out on the corporate front, so the focus of the market is broader, macro issues.” Meanwhile, Wall Street made a sharp reversal after three days of declines. The Dow Jones industrials added 154.19 points to 17,210.06, while the Nasdaq rose 46.53 points to 4,555.22 and the S&P 500 index gained 15.53 points to 1,998.30. The U.S. Commerce Department said sales of new homes climbed 18 per cent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 504,000, much higher than the 450,000 analysts had expected. Overseas, business confidence in Germany, Europe’s largest economy, dropped for the fifth consecutive month, continuing a slide that has been fuelled, among other things, by turmoil in Ukraine and sluggish overall growth in Europe. The Ifo institute says its confidence index dropped to 104.7 points for September from 106.3 last month. On Tuesday, the latest purchasing managers’ index from China showed that manufacturing orders edged up to 50.5 this month from 50.2 in August —ahead of analysts’ expectations. Along with the mixed readings on the global economies, there are heightened geopolitical risks. The U.S. and five Arab countries attacked the Islamic State group’s headquarters in eastern Syria in nighttime raids Tuesday using aircraft as well as Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from ships in the Red Sea and the northern Persian Gulf. Watson said the attacks haven’t impacted equities as much as anticipated. “Syria is a weird situation because, usually, any type of disruption in the Middle East would be interpreted as negative,” he said. “But the market isn’t too perturbed by bombs being dropped in Syria. It’s not inflaming the West versus Middle East fire that we’ve seen in the past, which would escalate tensions in the region.” On the corporate front, BlackBerry (TSX:BB) has launched its latest smartphone, called the Passport, as part of a move the company hopes will solidify its reputation among business users.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A months-long court battle over Nortel’s remaining assets remains divisive, with judges in Canada and the United States given the task of navigating what has been described as a “tsunami” of legal arguments, dry facts and, occasionally, stormy lawyer summations. A lawyer for Nortel’s Canadian pensioners and former employees said Wednesday in the final day of summations that it was wrong to suggest that his clients are asking for special treatment when it comes time to split up about $7.3 billion among various creditors of the collapsed technology company. “My clients ask for nothing else than that this case be determined on the facts and the law,” said Mark Zigler of Koskie Minsky LLP, which represents more than 20,000 former and retired Nortel employees in Canada. “My clients don’t want special treatment,” Zigler said in court. “It is, in fact, disrespectful to say my clients want this case decided on the basis of who they are. That is not what they’re saying.” On Tuesday, a lawyer for what’s left of the U.S. arm of Nortel said that it was a “fallacy” to think of Nortel Networks as just a Canadian company, that its intellectual property was created solely in Canada, or that Nortel’s business was run from Canada since its largest and most profitable business units were operated out of the United States. James Bromley said from the U.S. courtroom in Wilmington, Del., that the United States had “more Nortel employees, therefore more Nortel retirees, more Nortel disabled, than anywhere else.” However, the main thrust of Bromley’s legal argument was that the U.S. arm of Nortel had a greater claim on the patents and intellectual property than proposed by lawyers for the Canadian court-appointed monitor or the Canadian creditors. He also said the U.S. arm’s creditors should be paid in full before money goes to the Canadian parent’s creditors. The cross-border video-linked hearings in Toronto and Delaware were originally to wrap up on Tuesday but the two judges hearing the case simultaneously decided to extend the sitting into Wednesday to provide all the parties a chance to summarize their po-

IN BRIEF

Loonie up despite BoC, Fed speeches TORONTO — The Canadian dollar was slightly higher Wednesday despite remarks by a top Bank of Canada official warning that the currency was a risk of further declines. The loonie advanced 0.10 of a cent to 90.44 cents US. Timothy Lane, the central bank’s deputy governor, cautioned that the Canadian currency was at risk once the Fed concludes its monetary stimulus policy, put in place to help with the economic recovery south of the border. Last week, the U.S. central bank said it was making another $10-billion cut to the pace of its monthly bond purchases, which have fuelled stock markets and kept long-term borrowing rates low. The program is slated to wind up at the end of October. Lane said that although the Fed’s actions will create some risk for Canada, the country’s economy is

sitions following testimony and evidence given over six weeks in May and June. The decision rests with Justice Frank Newbould of Ontario Superior Court in Toronto and Judge Kevin Gross of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. It wasn’t clear when they’ll come to their conclusions but several lawyers have said privately that an appeal is likely whatever the outcome. Janis Sarra, a law professor at University of British Columbia and coeditor of an annual Canadian insolvency journal, said in an email exchange on Wednesday that the Nortel case could have a significant impact on this area of the law because of the multiple jurisdictions and the significant court costs that have been a drain on the assets that will be distributed. “I would hope that having heard the same submissions and considered the same evidence that the judges will be aligned in the substance of their rulings,” Sarra wrote. “If the judgments are not aligned, parties may go back to the bargaining table once again or they may appeal in one or both jurisdictions.” An appeal would be complicated because Canada and the United States have different thresholds for appeal and different standards of review of lower court judgments. “A further question is whether the appellate courts would try to co-operate in any way, an issue that has never been tested in Canada or elsewhere in the world,” Sarra wrote. One of the main sticking points for the trial that began in May has been how to divide about $4.5 billion from the sale of patents and intellectual property to a consortium of technology companies after Nortel sought creditor protection in 2009. The rest of the money came primarily from the sale of Nortel’s business units, but the division of those assets has been resolved. Three main conflicting approaches about Nortel’s intellectual property have been put forward by the different arms of Nortel in Canada, the United States and United Kingdom, complicated by a number of alternative positions and shared jurisdiction over Nortel in Canada — where it was founded and had its head office — and the United States, which was its largest market. strong enough to withstand the changes. “The Fed’s unconventional monetary policies affected Canada through various channels, notably by pushing down market interest rates worldwide,” he said in a speech at Carleton University in Ottawa. “By the same token, as Fed policy returns to normal — which is likely to be a different state than before the crisis — that will tighten financial conditions in Canada. But this will be happening against the backdrop of stronger economic growth.” Lane’s speech follows comments Monday by senior deputy governor Carolyn Wilkins, who cautioned that “persistent headwinds” still exist in Canada’s economic recovery, and that could mean stimulus will need to continue for some time to keep inflation on target. Meanwhile, in the U.S., there continued to signs that the economy is gaining strength. The U.S. Commerce Department reported that new home sales surged 18 per cent in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 504,000. Analysts had been expecting a rate of 450,000. Investors are still digesting this week’s mixed manufacturing data from Europe and China.

Fracking foes hopeful for break in industry BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

D I L B E R T

U.S., California release plan seeking to minimize desert damage from big solar, wind projects

NEW BRUNSWICK

FREDERICTON — The Liberal victory in New Brunswick will provide a needed break in the development of the shale gas industry, say opponents of hydraulic fracturing who vowed to hold the party to its promise to impose a moratorium on the disputed practice. Lois Corbett of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick said Liberal Leader Brian Gallant’s win in Monday’s provincial election will give politicians and experts time to study fracking while slowing growth of the shale gas sector. “This pause for the right debate is exactly what we need at this time,” she said. “Is it absolutely clear what way the new government will go? No, but it gives folks an opportunity to collect their breath and work together to develop a common solution.” Gallant, who declined interview requests Tuesday, has promised to place a moratorium on the shale gas industry until risks to the environment, human health and water are known. The position contrasted sharply with the Progressive Conservatives under David Alward, who tied New Brunswick’s economic future and the retention of its young people to the development of natural resources including shale gas. Alward focused on the idea that the industry would boost the slumping economy, saying New Brunswick was on the verge of $10 billion in private investment if it develops its deposits of shale gas. Corbett argues that voters rejected that vision by handing Gallant a majority and unseating the Tories’ energy minister in favour of David Coon, who will become the province’s first sitting Green party member. Coon said he is optimistic the two sides can co-operate on the polarizing issue, which sparked public protests and violent demonstrations last fall.

“There are a number of areas where we can work together,” he said. “It’s a relief to many people that ... there will be a moratorium and everyone can take a deep breath and not be worried about fracking and shale gas exploitation being imminent.” Still, some observers say it’s not clear how the Liberals will handle the file amid pressure from members of the party and opposition who may urge it not to shut the door on fracking and any economic benefits that could come with it. Tom Bateman, a professor of political science at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, said he expects Gallant will follow through on his promise to impose a moratorium but will then ease the door open again to exploration. “It’s not going to happen tomorrow, but they will edge into it because there are a ton of Liberals who think, ’We need to do this,”’ he said. “And the problems in the province are not going away.” Gallant will also have to find ways to finance a hefty campaign promise to spend $900 million over six years to pave roads, repair bridges and upgrade other infrastructure. Gallant said it would create 1,700 jobs annually. The province is looking at carrying a projected deficit of $387 million this fiscal year, while its economic growth rate was also the worst in the country last year. Officials with two companies conducting shale gas exploration and drilling in the province said they would not comment on the election outcome. Alward, who announced he was stepping down Tuesday, said he remains hopeful that the Liberals will proceed with shale gas extraction. “I certainly hope that the premierdesignate finds the courage to do the right thing and continue to move forward,” he said. “It certainly is an opportunity for our province.”

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — State and federal officials sought Tuesday to bring order to California’s boom for renewable-energy plants in the Mojave and other southern California deserts, releasing a roadmap covering 22.5 million acres that designates some areas for large-scale solar, wind and geothermal plants and others for conservation of desert habitat and animals. “We have amazingly special places here,” U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said in a news conference at a desert wind farm near Palm Springs with U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer and other officials releasing the multi-agency draft plan. By taking a look at the desert as a whole, Jewell said, the plan’s designers are ensuring “the areas that should be protected are set aside. The areas that should be developed are streamlined” for building utility-scale renewable energy plants. The release of the plan follows a renewable-energy building boom in southeastern California’s deserts during the first term of the Obama administration, when the federal government gave billions of dollars in loans to developers placing sprawling, utilityscale solar projects in virgin desert. The plan released Tuesday recommends designating a total of 2 million acres as appropriate sites for future solar, wind and geothermal projects. Another 4.9 million acres under the U.S. Bureau of Land Management would be among the areas set aside as conservation areas, if the draft plan is adopted. Jewell’s release of the plan opens a period of public comment through January. Renewable-energy developers and conservationists said they would be studying the more than 8,000 pages to learn exactly how areas were desig-

nated and under what rules. The 22.5 million acres of public and private land in seven southeastern California counties were “enough land for us to find a way to both protect species as well as find a way to develop renewable energy,” Anne Baker of the renewable-energy industry’s Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies said after the plan’s release. “We can figure this out.” State and federal energy and wildlife officials created the draft plan for future projects after five years of consultation with conservationists, scientists and developers, American Indian tribes and others. California is on track to meet a state goal of having a third of its energy come from renewable sources by 2020. Conservationists on Monday, in advance of the plan’s release, pointed to the Ivanpah solar plant, opened in January on 4,000 acres near the Nevada border. The $2.2 billion solar plant displaced desert tortoises, compelling developers NRG Energy, BrightSource Energy and Google to spend more than $20 million to try to safeguard the tortoises, which the federal government has listed as a threatened species. The plant, using a different form of solar energy than solar panels, also has proven unexpectedly deadly to birds that flew through its concentrated solar rays. NRG and BrightSource officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. Energy developers say environmental concerns have made building desert energy projects slower and more expensive than they should be. “There’s a real urgency for getting projects up as quickly as possible,” Mark Tholke, vice-president of EDF Renewables energy company, said Monday, before the plan’s release. “To meet the challenge of climate change ... we need cost-effective large projects.”

This photo released by HBO shows Hugh Eakin, left, and Robert Silvers, in a scene from the documentary, The Fifty Year Argument: An Inside Look at The New York Review of Books,” which airs on HBO on Sept. 29, 2014. The film mixes archival footage with contemporary interviews, scenes from the Review’s office and highlights from an anniversary celebration at Town Hall in Manhattan in 2013. The film is co-directed by Scorsese and David Tedeschi.

SCORSESE’S LATEST IS DOCUMENTARY ON NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — As the New York Review of Books approached its 50th anniversary in 2013, editor Robert Silvers and his staff wondered if words were enough to honour one of the world’s signature literary publications. “Should we do anything at all, rumble along in our usual way, or should we make an occasion out of it?” the 87-year-old Silvers recalled during a recent interview at the Review’s offices in Greenwich Village, bookcases unavoidably nearby. “We thought we should do something that was good for us and good for our readers. We thought — maybe a documentary.” They agreed on the ideal director: Martin Scorsese. The 50 Year Argument, which airs Monday on HBO, mixes archival footage with contemporary interviews, scenes from the Review’s office and highlights from an anniversary celebration at Town Hall in Manhattan in 2013. The film is co-directed by Scorsese and David Tedeschi, who edited Scorsese’s documentaries on Bob Dylan and George Harrison. Scorsese, interviewed by telephone, said he has been reading the Review for decades and has piles of old issues around his apartment to prove it. His affection dates back to the magazine’s beginning, when he was a student at New York University and spotted the Review at a favourite newsstand. “My family wasn’t in the habit of reading — there were no books in our apartment — so this was a period of really challenging everything that I had thought and I had believed,” said Scorsese, adding that the Review’s broadsheet design stood out compared with such rival publications as The New Yorker and Dissent. “The paper itself made you want to read it, the actual texture. It wasn’t intimidating — until you read some of the articles.” The documentary appealed to the director of The Wolf of Wall Street and GoodFellas in part because it’s a New York story. The magazine was conceived late in 1962 during a Manhattan dinner conversation among four literary figures: Poet Robert Lowell and his wife, the critic Elizabeth Hardwick and Random

Canadian competitive comedy pioneers Kenny Versus Spenny bring their offbeat, shame-producing humour to Wild Bill’s Sports Bar in Red Deer on Friday. As in their TV show, comedians Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice will face each other, live on stage, in various competitions. The loser must perform an act of humiliation, usually selected by the winner. KVS on Tour presents an interactive evening with Kenny and Spenny, featuring a question and answer, heated debates and, of course, “random humiliations.” For more information about the 9 p.m. show, call 403-343-8800.

House editor Jason Epstein and his wife, editor Barbara Epstein. The city’s newspapers were on strike and book publishers were anxious for venues where new releases could be reviewed. Hardwick had chastised the state of criticism in an essay that appeared in Harper’s and the four friends agreed they had a chance to raise the standard. Hardwick’s editor at Harper’s was Robert Silvers, and Jason Epstein phoned and asked if he would come co-edit the new publication with Barbara Epstein (who died in 2006). Silvers spoke with Harper’s editor in chief, Jack Fischer. “I said, ’Well, here’s a chance to start a new book review and I’m inclined to give it a try and I’ll have to take a leave of absence,” Silvers recalled. “And he said, ’Great, you’ll get terrific experience and you’ll be back in a month.”’ Launched in 1963, the Review has commissioned criticism by W.H. Auden and Edmund Wilson, published such political dissidents as Vaclav Havel and Andrei Sakharov and featured some of the most influential essays of the past half-century, including Susan Sontag on photography and Joan Didion on the Central Park jogger assault of 1989. As the film’s title suggests, the Review has also been a forum for the high-minded to bicker. Silvers and Scorsese had worried how to visualize literary history, but the Review helped inspire one of the great television confrontations. In the early 1970s, the magazine published a Gore Vidal essay in which he likened Norman Mailer’s views on women to those of Charles Manson. Dick Cavett soon invited the two authors to appear on his show, where a seething Mailer not only referred to the Review, but also read aloud from a copy. “Sometimes it was very bitter,” said Silvers, still amazed — and proud — that the Review became a prop on network TV. In its 51st year, the Review has adjusted well to the digital age, with worldwide circulation of around 150,000, up from 120,000 in the 1980s. Silvers himself remains youthfully curious and engaged, leaning forward with excitement, dark eyes brightening as he holds up the current issue, which features several essays on philosophy, along with pieces on everything from Ukraine to a biography of Coco Chanel.

LAS VEGAS — A soccer ball kicked into the crowd at a Las Vegas concert has bounced back to Rod Stewart in the form of a lawsuit by a Southern California man who says he has lingering injuries after his nose was broken. Mostafa Kashe’s civil negligence complaint alleges that he didn’t expect to be hit in the face by a ball kicked by the raspy-voiced British singer from the stage during a show at the Caesars Palace resort in October 2012. Representatives of Stewart, promoter AEG Live and Caesars Entertainment Corp. didn’t immediately comment Wednesday on the lawsuit filed against them Monday in Nevada’s Clark County District Court. Michael Roth, of AEG Live, said his firm had not yet been served with the complaint. Kashe, 53, an electrical engineer from Diamond Bar, California, seeks unspecified damages of at least $10,000 plus attorney fees. His attorney, Larry Weinsteen, said Kashe and his wife were big Stewart fans who travelled to Las Vegas primarily for the concert.

RUSSELL Robert Roy May 25, 1974 - Sept. 17, 2014 Robert passed away suddenly and peacefully at the young age of 40 years. He was born in Red Deer, AB on May 25, 1974. He attended school in Penhold and Red Deer and furthered his education with his love of music at the Red Deer College music program. He was a member of many bands including Moonshine Bandits, 89, and Sam Drucker’s General Store to name a few. He was also very proud to have had the opportunity to manage the “Clayton Bellamy Band”. He made many lasting and close personal relationships throughout his musical career. Although Robert was passionate about his music, his greatest love was his sons Grayson and Gibson. He furthered his working career in the trades of welding and pipe fitting. These trades often took him away from home, which although he enjoyed his accomplishments in his careers, he was always eager to return home to his boys. Rob is survived by his parents, Ron and Helen Russell; sons, Grayson and Gibson, their mother Kandy and son Griffin; brothers, Tony (Cathy) and Ryan (Tara); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He will be dearly missed by Carrie and her family. Rob was very proud of this relationship, which brought him so much joy. Robert is predeceased by his grandparents, Roy Russell, Gwen Russell, Rose Friesen and Armand DesRochers. Rob’s generous spirit, large loving heart and sharp sense of humor endeared him to many. The beautiful memory of Robert will live on in our hearts. A memorial celebration of Roberts’s life is planned for Saturday, September the 27, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. in the Theatre Room of the Springbrook Multiplex in Springbrook Alberta which is located on highway 2A between Red Deer and Penhold. The memorial service will be followed by an afternoon luncheon, with a musical celebration afterward in which we encourage participation from Robert’s fellow musical artists in attendance, as a fond loving memory of Robert’s love of music. In lieu of flowers, donations in honor of Rob will be accepted into a trust for his sons. Alberta Treasury Branches across the province are prepared to receive donations to the Grayson and Gibson Russell Trust Fund. Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.reddeerfuneralhome.com Arrangements entrusted to RED DEER FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORIUM 6150 - 67 Street, Red Deer. Phone (403) 347-3319.

US airstrikes hit Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — U.S. fighter jets and bombers expanded their aerial campaign against Islamic State targets Wednesday, striking the militants in both Syria and Iraq even as the extremists pressed their offensive in Kurdish areas within sight of the Turkish border, where fleeing refugees told of civilians beheaded and towns torched. President Barack Obama, speaking at the United Nations, vowed an extended assault and called on the world to join in. “The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force, so the United States of America will work with a broad coalition to dismantle this network of death,” he told the U.N. General Assembly in a 38-minute speech. “Today, I ask the world to join in this effort.” In Syria, hard-line rebels aligned with a faction fighting to oust President Bashar Assad, but considered too radical by the U.S., packed up their heavy weapons and evacuated their bases over fears the Obama administration would target all fighters deemed a potential threat to the United States. Wednesday’s strikes marked the second day of a broadened U.S. military operation against the Islamic State group, after a barrage of more than 200 strikes on some two dozen targets in Syria a day earlier. That campaign, which the White House has warned could last years, builds upon the air raids the U.S. has already been conducting for more than a month against the extremists in Iraq. The ultimate aim of the Obama administration and its Arab partners is to destroy the Islamic State group, which through brute force has carved out a proto-state in the heart of the Middle East, effectively erasing the border between Iraq and Syria. Along the way, the extremist faction has massacred captured soldiers, terrorized religious minorities and beheaded two American journalists and a British aid worker. On Wednesday, Algerian extremists aligned with the Islamic State group declared in a video that they had beheaded a fourth hostage — a Frenchman seized in Algeria on Sunday — in retaliation for France joining the aerial assault against the militants in Iraq. French President Francois Hollande said France would not be deterred by the act of “barbarity.” “This particular group ... they don’t strike only those who don’t think like they do. They also

strike Muslims. ... They rape, they kill,” a visibly upset Hollande told the U.N. General Assembly. “It is for this reason that the fight the international community needs to wage versus terrorism knows no borders.” Meanwhile, U.S. allies lined up in support of the aerial campaign. The Dutch government announced it would send six F-16 fighter jets along with 250 pilots and support staff to strike at Islamic State targets in Iraq, while British Prime Minister David Cameron’s office said Parliament had been recalled to debate Britain’s response to a request to support the airstrikes. U.S. and coalition forces hit a dozen targets in Syria that included small-scale oil refineries that have been providing millions of dollars a day in income to the Islamic State, the U.S. Central Command said. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates took part, along with U.S. aircraft. Earlier, U.S. strikes damaged Islamic State vehicles in Syria near the Iraqi border town of Qaim, the U.S. Central Command said. It also reported hitting two Islamic State armed vehicles west of Baghdad, as well as two militant fighting positions in northern Iraq. In a separate statement, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said the strikes in eastern Syria hit a staging area used by the militants to move equipment across the border into Iraq.

Despite the start of the coalition campaign, Islamic State fighters continued their advance against Syrian Kurdish militiamen around the town of Ayn Arab, known to Kurds as Kobani, near the Turkish border, where refugees fleeing into Turkey reported the beheading of captives and the torching of homes. A Kurdish militiaman fighting to protect the city said Islamic State militants were less than half a mile (one kilometre) from the outskirts Wednesday. Weary refugees arriving in Turkey described atrocities at the hands of the Islamic State militants. Osman Nawaf, 59, said he saw about 50 bodies hanging headless in the village of Boras when he passed it on his threeday walk from a village on the outskirts of Kobani. The fighting near Kobani could be seen from hilltops in Turkey. Kurds from Turkey and Syria cheered on the Kurdish fighters from one hilltop, while the fighters signalled back with mortar fire. Halil Aslan, a 48 year-old local villager in Turkey, recounted seeing Islamic State tanks roll into a village on the Syrian side. “They shelled the place with tanks and mortars,” he said. “We could hear them falling on those hills.” A video posted online showed what appeared to be Islamic State fighters toting assault rifles and fanning out across a dusty

field in the Kobani area. A later clip showed a field cannon firing a shell toward a town located across a rolling expanse of brown fields, followed by a puff of smoke in the distance. The video appeared genuine and corresponded to other AP reporting of the events. In the opening salvo of the air campaign inside Syria on Tuesday, the U.S. also hit al-Qaida’s Syria branch, known as the Nusra Front. American officials said the strikes targeted the so-called Khorasan Group, a cell within the Nusra Front made up of hardened jihadis they said pose a direct and imminent threat to the United States. On Wednesday, the Nusra Front said it was evacuating its compounds near civilian areas in Idlib and Aleppo provinces in northern Syria, according to the Aleppo Media Center activist group. The decision followed a U.S. airstrike on a Nusra Front base in the village of Kfar Derian that killed around a dozen fighters and 10 civilians, activists said. Another Syrian rebel group, Ahrar al-Sham, was also clearing out of its bases, according to the Observatory. It said the group issued a statement calling for fighters to limit the use of wireless communication devices to emergencies, to move heavy weapons and conceal them, and to warn civilians to stay away from the group’s camps.

Renewed unrest in Ferguson results in arrests BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FERGUSON, Mo. — Five people were arrested and two law enforcement officers were hurt in Ferguson after protests over the death of Michael Brown again intensified, authorities said Wednesday. Ferguson was the site of sometimes violent protests and looting in the days after 18-year-old Brown, who was black, was shot by white Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9. Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said it wasn’t clear if a fire at a makeshift memorial for Brown led to the unrest Tuesday night in the St. Louis suburb. Reports of smashed windows and possible arson came hours af-

ter the memorial of teddy bears, signs and other items burned. About 150 protesters gathered late Tuesday night. Johnson, whom Missouri’s governor put in charge of security in Ferguson, said Wednesday that one person was arrested for inciting a riot and four others for failure to disperse. He said one of the two officers hurt was struck with a rock below the eye. He described the other officer’s injuries as minor. Windows were smashed at a beauty shop on West Florissant Avenue, where much of the looting happened last month. Johnson said looters also tried to steal a cash register from the shop. A small fire outside a custard shop appeared to be intentionally set, according to fire of-

ficials. Johnson said officers reported seeing gunfire from the protesters but that no one was struck. Police began clearing the street around 12:15 a.m. Wednesday. One of two memorials at the site where Brown was shot was destroyed in a fire early Tuesday morning. Police are investigating the cause of the blaze, but the fire renewed anger, especially among residents of the apartment community where Brown was killed. Several people who gathered at the scene Tuesday blamed police for not acting quickly enough to put out the fire. The memorial site was quickly filled, becoming a new, and bigger, memorial.

Resentment lingers among those who question why Wilson hasn’t been arrested and remains on paid administrative leave. A state grand jury is weighing whether he should face charges but a decision isn’t expected until mid-October. The Justice Department is also investigating. Civil rights investigators for the federal agency will be in suburban St. Louis Wednesday night to explain details about an investigation of Ferguson police. Officials with the Justice Department’s civil rights division say in addition to giving residents insight into the investigation, they hope to speak with people about their interactions with Ferguson police.

Red Cross team attacked as fear stymies efforts to stop Ebola BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CONAKRY, Guinea — A Red Cross team was attacked while collecting bodies believed to be infected with Ebola in southeastern Guinea, the latest in a string of assaults that are hindering efforts to control West Africa’s current outbreak. One Red Cross worker is recovering after being wounded in in the neck in Tuesday’s attack in Forecariah, according to Benoit Carpentier, a spokesman for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. Family members of the dead initially set upon the six volunteers and vandalized their cars, said Mariam Barry, a resident. Eventually a crowd went to the regional health office, where they threw rocks at the building. The attack is the most recent in a series that have plagued teams working to bury bodies safely, provide information about Ebola and disinfect public places. The most shocking was the ab-

duction and killing last week in Guinea of eight people, health workers educating people about Ebola and the journalists accompanying them. Ebola is believed to have infected more than 5,800 people in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nigeria and Senegal. The unprecedented size and sweep of the outbreak have led governments to impose severe measures to control it, like a recent nationwide lockdown in Sierra Leone to look for the sick and spread information. On Wednesday, Sierra Leone said 30 more cases uncovered during the shutdown tested positive for Ebola, raising the total number discovered over the three days to 160. Resistance to efforts to control the disease — from outright denials that Ebola exists to fears that the very people sent to combat it are in fact carriers — has frustrated efforts to end or slow the disease’s spread in all three of the most affected countries, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, say officials. In April, Doctors Without Bor-

ders briefly pulled out its team from the Guinean town of Macenta after their clinic was stoned. In Liberia, the homes of some of the infected have been attacked. Last week, Red Cross workers were threatened in Sierra Leone, Carpentier, the Red Cross spokesman, said. The disease is so new to this part of the world and so terrifyingly lethal that many people fear all outsiders associated with Ebola, even if they are coming to help, said Meredith Stakem, a health and nutrition adviser for Catholic Relief Services. In addition, many people in these communities may not be familiar with even basic biological concepts of disease transmission, and Ebola is contradicting what they do know. “There’s not a lot of diseases that can be transmitted by corpses,” she said. “It’s hard for people to comprehend that the dead body is actually a threat.” Ebola is spread by bodily fluids including sweat and corpses are particularly infectious. The handling of dead bodies is deeply personal and rooted

in tradition, especially in many parts of West Africa where the washing of bodies is common. It is often the teams trying to prevent those practices that have been targeted, said Carpentier. Much of the resistance is in remote, insular areas. “It has gotten better,” he said. “The problem is it has to be 100 per cent” or the virus will persist. The conventional methods used to control Ebola — isolating sick people and tracing all their contacts — are buckling under the sheer size of the outbreak. On Wednesday, the World Health Organization offered hope that there may soon be another way to control the disease, saying there may be sufficient quantities of a vaccine by the end of the year to have some impact on the outbreak. That would make this the first Ebola outbreak to be tackled with vaccines or medicines in the nearly 40 years since the disease was discovered. Because Ebola only pops up sporadically, there has been little incentive to develop any drug or vaccine.

Obama implores UN to take on ISIL ASKS FOR HELP TO DESTROY ISLAMIC STATE’S ’NETWORK OF DEATH’ Confronted by the growing threat of Middle East militants, President Barack Obama implored world leaders at the United Nations Wednesday to rally behind his expanding military campaign to stamp out the violent Islamic State group and its “network of death.” “There can be no reasoning, no negotiation, with this brand of evil,” Obama told the General Assembly. In a striking shift for a president who has been reluctant to take military action in the past, Obama declared that force is the only language the militants understand. He warned those who have joined their cause to “leave the battlefield while they can.” The widening war against the Islamic State was just one in a cascade of crises that confronted the presidents, prime ministers and monarchs at the annual meeting of the U.N. General Assembly. Also vying for attention was Russia’s continued provocations in Ukraine, a deadly Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and the plight of civilians caught in conflicts around the world. “Not since the end of the Second World War have there been so many refugees, displaced people and asylum seekers,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon said as he opened Wednesday’s session. In a rare move, Obama also chaired a meeting of the U.N. Security Council where members unanimously adopted a resolution requiring all countries to prevent the recruitment and transport of would-be foreign fighters preparing to join terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State group. The American-led military campaign in the Middle East was at the centre of much of the day’s discussions. After weeks of airstrikes in Iraq, U.S. planes began hitting targets in Syria this week, joined by an unexpected coalition of five Arab nations: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. There were more U.S. strikes Wednesday on both sides of the Syrian-Iraqi border. France has also taken part in strikes in Iraq, and British Prime Minister David Cameron’s office announced that Parliament was being recalled to London to debate whether to join the campaign, too. The Islamic State has made lightning gains in Iraq this year and now moves freely across the increasingly blurred border with Syria. The group has claimed responsibility for the beheading of two American journalists and a British aid worker, sparking out-

BRIEF 10 terror suspects charged in Uganda over al-Shabab links, plotting to carry out attacks KAMPALA, Uganda — Ugandan authorities have charged 10 Somali nationals with terror-related offences following their arrest in a raid on a suspected al-Shabab cell in this East African country. The men appeared in a Ugandan court on Wednesday, charged with belonging to a terrorist group as well as aiding terror activities. Prosecutors say the suspects belong to the al-Qaida-linked Somali militant group al-Shabab. Uganda, which has troops fighting al-Shabab in Somalia, has been on high alert amid concerns alShabab is plotting an attack similar to the deadly assault on a mall in Kenya a year ago. In 2010 al-Shabab claimed responsibility for bomb attacks that killed at least 76 people watching a soccer World Cup final on giant screens in the Ugandan capital, Kampala.

U.S. watchdog: extremists linked to Islamic State group have beheaded French hostage in Algeria PARIS — Algerian extremists allied with the Islamic State group have decapitated a French hostage after France ignored their demand to stop airstrikes in Iraq, according to a video released by a U.S. terrorism watchdog. A group calling itself Jund al-Khilafah said after abducting Herve Gourdel on Sunday that he would be killed within 24 hours unless France ended its airstrikes against Islamic State fighters in Iraq. The French government has insisted it will not back down. It would not immediately comment on the beheading video. Terrorism watchdog SITE Intelligence Group distributed a video by Jund alKhilafah Wednesday announcing Gourdel’s death. Gourdel was a 55-year-old mountaineering guide from Nice seized in mountains of northern Algeria. The video resembled those showing the beheadings of two American journalists and a British aid worker in recent weeks, but instead of showing President Barack Obama, it showed French President Francois Hollande. France started airstrikes in Iraq on Friday, the first country to join the U.S. military campaign against the Islamic State fighters there. “Our values are at stake,” French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Wednesday after hearing about the video. He would not comment further, but minutes earlier he insisted that France would continue fighting in Iraq as long as necessary.

FBI report says mass shootings in U.S. occurring more frequently; says more training needed WASHINGTON — The FBI says the number of shootings in which a gunman opens fire on a crowd of people in the U.S. has increased in recent years. The bureau released a report Wednesday analyzing 160 mass shootings between 2000 and 2013. The report focuses on what the FBI calls “active shooter incidents,” or cases in which a gunman tries to kill multiple people in a confined space. According to the report, an average of six shootings occurred in the first seven years that were studied. That average rose to 16 shootings in the last seven years of the study. Examples of the killings studied include the 2012 deadly shootings at a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

rage in the West and contributing to an increase in public support for military action. Shortly after Obama’s remarks, France confirmed that Algerian extremists allied with the Islamic State group had beheaded one of its citizens after the French ignored demands to stop airstrikes in Iraq. French President Francois Hollande, who was in New York for the U.N. meetings, said the killing underscored why “the fight the international community needs to wage versus terrorism knows no borders.” U.S. officials say they are concerned that foreigners with Western passports could return to their home countries to carry out attacks. And even as Obama welcomed support for the resolution to deter foreign fighters, he said more must be done. “The words spoken here today must be matched and translated into action,” he said. The threat from the Islamic State group has already drawn Obama back into conflicts in the Middle East that he has long sought to avoid, particularly in Syria, which is mired in a bloody three-year civil

war. Just months ago, the president appeared to be on track to fulfil his pledge to end the U.S.-led wars he inherited in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama sought to distinguish this current military campaign from those lengthy wars, declaring that he has no intention of sending U.S. troops to occupy foreign lands. He also pressed Middle Eastern nations to look beyond military action and take steps to reject the ideology that has spawned groups like the Islamic State and to cut off funding that has allowed that terror group and others to thrive. “No external power can bring about a transformation of hearts and minds,” Obama said in his nearly 40-minute address. Apart from the Middle East, the president was particularly blunt in his condemnation of Russia’s actions in Ukraine. He accused Moscow of sending arms to pro-Russian separatists, refusing to allow access to the site of a downed civilian airliner and then moving its own troops across the border with Ukraine.

Changing how we look after our teeth A walk down the toothpaste aisle at your local drugstore clearly shows that having whiter, healthier teeth is a 21stcentury obsession. But it turns out that it’s always been a challenge: Otzi — a 5,300-year-old mummy retrieved in 1991 from a glacier in the Alps — had cavities and severe gum disease, researchers reported recently. And archeologists have discovered that more than 1.5 million years ago, our very early ancestors (homo erectus) pried bits of dinner from their teeth with the world’s first toothpicks. Ironically, even though these days you can choose from thousands of products to polish, cleanse and protect your teeth, most of you are not all that much better than Otzi at avoiding decay and periodontal disease. Here’s a look at how often you brush off taking care of your teeth, and how you can improve your dental care. Nine Months: How long the average North American uses a toothbrush before tossing it. Dentists recommend replacing your toothbrush every two months. But 91 per cent of you wait far longer. Tooth tip: Spring for a new brush as soon as bristles start wearing out.

Fight the cold and flu season naturally Are you prone to colds and flus? Want to get through the fall and winter months with the least amount of sick days possible for you, your family and/or employees? Act now and get a head start on the winter season with a natural, safe and effective immune booster that both you and your entire family can use, regardless of age. Did you know that each flu season in the United States, nearly 111 million workdays are lost due to the flu? That equals approximately $7 billion per year in sick days and countless hours of lost SHANE productivity. JOHNSON According to the Centre for Disease NATUROPATHIC Control (CDC), nearly 22 million school days are lost each year due to colds alone MEDICINE and 38 million school days are lost each year due to the influenza virus. The CDC also states that 40 per cent of children aged five to 17 years, missed three or more school days in the past year because of illness or injury. With alarming statistics such as these, it comes as no surprise that people are seeking alternative treatments to help combat the harsh cold and flu season. One way many consumers are fighting against the cold and flu, is through the use of Pascoleucyn. It is a natural immune booster that has been on the market for over 60 years now and is a fully registered product with Health Canada. This immune boosting remedy can be used for both the prevention and treatment of symptoms such as: fever, respiratory infections, muscle aches and sore throat. This product is very easy to use. In my practice, my patients have a single shot in the office at the beginning of flu season and another single dose in January. For most individuals, this is all they need for the winter months as they notice others around them may often get sick but fortunately for them, they do not end up with an illness. If an individual is around others who are sick or are seeing the first signs of illness, an oral drop form can be used at home on an as-needed basis to top up their immunity. The best part of this remedy is that it is safe for all ages, as the dosage is adjusted to meet the requirements of an infant, child, adult or senior. Cue the rejoicing and applauds! Not only is this effortless option safe for you and your family, it is a great alternative for those in professions such as teaching, health care and for those who work in large corporate offices where the chance of exposure to viruses is much higher. Reduce the flu risk in your home by taking this simple onetime preventive dose and protect yourself and your family during the cold and flu season. Dr. Shane Johnson ND was born and raised in Red Deer and is the owner of Aspire Natural Medicine.

that keeping up with dentist visits could save you money by helping you avoid serious gum disease that may need extensive treatment and can contribute to a wide range of other health problems? Regular visits to the dentist reduce risk for heart attack, stroke, chest pain and congestive heart failure. Tooth tip: Dental schools often offer low-cost care; your health department may have information about other affordable options, too. 30 seconds: Time it takes soda, sports drinks or even juice to damage tooth enamel. In a recent Australian study, dental experts found that high-acid drinks etch the surface of teeth almost immediately. Tooth tip: For stronger teeth, sip water or herbal tea instead of soda or sports drinks. Instead of juice, munch whole fruit. You can cool gum inflammation with a healthy diet, regular exercise and a daily DHA omega-3 supplement (2,000 mg a day for three months). Plus, if approved by your doctor, take a daily 81- to 162-mg aspirin with half a glass of warm water before and after.

Dear Annie: I am part of a ladies book club. Each of us is responsible on a rotating basis for the meal and facilitating the discussion. We have a lot of fun and have read some very interesting books. The problem is that two of the members take turns hosting at the same house. This house is absolutely filthy and seems to get worse every time. The bathrooms smell like urine, there is no hand soap, the furniture is covered in dust and dog hair, and the trash cans are overflowing. Because they both host there, we are forced to endure the conditions twice as often. We no longer want to attend meetings there. The ladies in our club are not snobs, but the rest of us make some effort to offer a comfortable environment for our meetings. We don’t want to make dishonest excuses, and we don’t want to hurt their feelings by telling them, but we also don’t want to eat food prepared in filth. What can we do? — Southern Bookworm Dear Bookworm: Because you aren’t willing to tell them you are uncomfortable eating in that house, we suggest

you have every meeting at the same neutral location — perhaps a restaurant or coffee shop. Some bookstores and libraries allow you to host such events, and you can check out other locations, as well. Meals do not have to be served. It may not be as intimate, but it solves the problem. Dear Annie: I think “Salem, Ore.,” had a wonderful idea to stop giving them Christmas gifts. When my grandparents became advanced in years, I could see that they didn’t need anything, but I still wanted to give them gifts. I found the perfect solution. I’d bake them Christmas cookies after Thanksgiving but before Christmas. That way, they could enjoy the festive season and have treats when visitors came. They were very grateful and would return the empty container, which I’d refill the following year. — Nancy Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Horse power gains favour among small-scale farmers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MARATHON, N.Y. — While most modern farmers work their fields accompanied by the rumble of a trusty tractor, sheep farmer Donn Hewes labours to the faint jingling of harnesses in rhythm with the hoofbeats of horses and mules. He readily admits that horse-powered farming takes more time and effort than tractor farming. But as one of a growing number of small-scale farmers dedicated to keeping alive the art of the teamster, he’s fine with that. “People always want to know how many dollars an hour can I make, and can I really profit from farming with horses,” said Hewes. “We can, but to me, that’s the wrong question. I benefit in so many ways. I benefit from working with young stock, building fertility for the farm, and all the time I get to spend enjoying doing what I’m doing.” Hewes and his wife, Maryrose Livingston, own Northland Sheep Dairy on a hilltop in central New York, 40 miles south of Syracuse. Livingston milks grass-fed sheep and sells handmade cheese. Hewes, who has a night job as a firefighter, works about 100 acres of land with Percheron and Suffolk draft horses and mules pulling implements for haymaking, compost spreading, snow-plowing and log-hauling. Horse-powered farmers cite a number of reasons for eschewing engines. For example, horses don’t use fossil fuels, their manure contributes to the farm’s fertility, and they cost less than

As president of Draft Animal Power Network, Hewes is dedicated to mentoring and sharing experiences with other farmers who want to work with horses. “Young people are starting organic vegetable farms, realizing there’s an opportunity to make healthy food for local markets,” Hewes said. “A segment of that movement is finding out about draft animal power. That’s creating new demand for horse-powered equipment, and Amish businesses are responding to making equipment that’s

smaller and more accessible to beginning farmers.” Dalton, Ohio-based Pioneer Equipment, an Amish manufacturer of horsedrawn farm implements, recently came out with the Homesteader for small farms. It has interchangeable parts for plowing, harrowing, discing, planting, cultivating and harvesting row crops such as carrots, onions and potatoes. It’s hard to quantify how many horse-powered farmers there are. Stephen Leslie, who runs a horse-powered dairy and vegetable farm in Hartland, Vermont, said he has seen a big

increase since he and his wife started Cedar Mountain Farm 20 years ago. “When we started it was hard to find anyone with knowledge or equipment,” said Leslie, whose book, “The New Horse-Powered Farm,” was published in 2013. “Now, the networking is incredible.” Leslie said horse-powered farm equipment manufacturers, most of which are Amish, all report increasing sales and a growing number of nonAmish customers. “That’s one way to gauge the health of horse farming,” Leslie said. The Draft Animal Power Network has grown to 400 members since it was formed in 2010, Hewes said. “We’ve had draft animal field days in the Northeast five out of the last seven years, and attendance keeps growing. There were over 1,000 last year at the event in Barton, Vermont.” On a recent afternoon, Hewes put a collar and harness on a young mule he bred from his Mammoth jack donkey and a Percheron mare. Hitching the mule to a chain attached to a heavy log, Hewes began a training session, communicating with whistles, low voice commands, and long leather lines attached to a bit. “When people want to get into this, I really encourage them to look for some mentorship so they can have safe beginnings,” Hewes said. “That can be a challenge, because most of the old-timers who were born to farming with horses are gone. Today, it’s up to people like me to fill the gap and provide mentorship. That’s something I really enjoy.”

Six months into Ebola outbreak, scientists still learning more about virus

PUMPKIN DELIVERY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Six months into the biggest-ever Ebola outbreak, scientists say they know more about how the deadly virus behaves. The first cases were reported in Guinea by the World Health Organization on March 23 — before spreading to Sierra Leone, Liberia and elsewhere. Here’s a look at what scientists have learned so far. How different is this outbreak? Past outbreaks have mostly been in remote, rural communities and have typically been snuffed out in weeks or months. But one main difference this time is that the virus has hit densely packed cities in West Africa, making the current outbreak an international threat. “I always thought Ebola was really bad when it happens, but that it would kill 100 people in a remote part of Africa, and then it’s over,” said Dr. Peter Piot, the co-discoverer of Ebola. He said the severity of this outbreak could also be linked to the increased movement of people across borders and “more contact with whatever the primary source of Ebola is.” The virus’ reservoir is thought to be fruit bats, considered a delicacy in some parts of Africa. In a study released Tuesday by the New England Journal of Medicine, the World Health Organization said there could be almost 21,000 Ebola cases by early November and that cases could continue to trickle out for years. Will the outbreak burn itself out? Yes, but that’s a worst case scenario. If control measures don’t work, at some point, Ebola will have infected everyone who hasn’t already been killed or recovered from the virus and there won’t be enough people to maintain the virus’ spread, said Dr. Bruce Aylward, WHO assistant director-general in charge of emergencies. He said the next few months are crucial to curbing transmission. “As this outbreak continues, the sheer caseload will make it much more difficult to get people isolated and into beds,” he said. Is Ebola becoming more infectious? We don’t know. Experts say it’s difficult to assess that in the current outbreak since so many issues are involved. It’s possible the virus has become more infectious than before — which might explain the spiraling caseload — but it’s also possible health workers aren’t properly protected or are so overworked they are making more mistakes. There has also been more physical violence involving patients, many of whom are suspicious of Western aid workers. Scientists have also noted hundreds of mutations in the virus so far but aren’t sure what that means, since viruses evolve constantly. Can anything be done for patients not in a hospital? Maybe. Given the scarcity of hospital beds, health officials say authorities shouldn’t just focus on patients being treated in clinics. Some groups have started handing out basic protection kits they admit are woefully inadequate but better than nothing. Agencies including UNICEF, USAID and Doctors Without Borders have given out tens of thousands of Ebola kits, including gloves, aprons, face masks and garbage bags in Liberia, the worst-hit country. WHO notes that water and soap are still unavailable in some parts of West Africa. “It’s a tragic situation, so we are helping arm people with the best possible solution in a worstcase scenario,” said Sarah Crowe, a UNICEF spokeswoman in Liberia. “So if they are going to have to use plastic bags to wipe up vomit of a sick person, then there is a correct method.”

Documentary features gritty side of life in North Dakota oil boomtown; film opens in October BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WILLISTON, N.D. — When filmmaker Jesse Moss started hearing about the North Dakota oil boom that was creating overnight millionaires and drawing workers from around the country to a seemingly endless number of high-paying jobs, he imagined there was a darker side of the story. Over the course of a year and a half, Moss followed a Lutheran pastor in Williston who had allowed down-and-out migrant workers to sleep in his church, its parking lot and eventually his home. Pastor Jay Reinke’s decision to allow the workers — including registered sex offenders — to live at the church stoked tensions with a local community that had been an isolated, small farming town just a few years earlier. The result of Moss’ time spent bedding down in church hallways alongside the workers and following Reinke through North Dakota’s frozen prairie was The Overnighters, which won the Special Jury Award for Intuitive Filmmaking earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. The documentary opens on Oct. 10 in New York City and dates for screenings in other cities across the country, including Austin, Texas, and San Francisco, are set through December. More than 1,000 different people slept in the church over the two years it ran the housing program, with more staying in the parking lot. At a time when much of the country still felt the pains of the Great Recession, western North Dakota had more jobs than could be filled. But on the ground, many new arrivals found that

hardships — worsened by a high cost of living — continued. “The boomtown is a place of last resort for so many people,” Moss said. “These are guys — and women, too — who are really holding on desperately to the bottom rung of the ladder. And when they slip from that position, there’s nothing left.” One man in the film, Keith Graves, is a truck driver from California who in 1999 was convicted of a felony charge for lewd acts with a child younger than 14. After a local newspaper discovered sex offenders were living at Reinke’s church, the pastor invited Graves to live at his home to shield the congregation from criticism. “A sin or a crime, while it is real and a part of one’s record, I would submit may not be the definition of one’s life,” Reinke said in the film, regarding his decision. “I’m not going to put my children at risk and I do not believe that I have.” Since the documentary, Graves has been arrested again. He was charged last month with human trafficking, gross sexual imposition and other alleged offences. He’s accused of running a prostitution ring out of area hotels and raping a woman he was recruiting multiple times. Reinke has said Graves was not staying with him at the time of the alleged new crimes. Graves has said he’s not guilty of the charges.
