RETHINK RED DEER’S ECOLIVING FAIR FOCUSES ON WORKING WITH NATURAL PROCESSES

Advanced seed theory and the scoop on poop were among topics served up for the fall version of ReThink Red Deer’s EcoLiving Fair on Saturday. The trade fair and workshops were focused on working with natural processes rather than against them, bringing foodies from across the spectrum — urban and rural, growers and consumers — to share ideas and inspect products that overlap ReThink Red Deer’s principles for urban planning. Michalak admitted on Saturday that the weather could very well have scuttled the plans for outdoor workshops and displays, given that the entire region was under a blanket of snow at this time last year. “We won a lottery with the weather, all there’s been is a little bit of wind,” said Michalak. “We have EcoLiving typically in the spring, with Seedy Saturday, and that’s when seeds are typically distributed because it’s time for planting. But, because we have a seed bank, that means the storing has to happen as well.” Therefore, the fall version of EcoLiving, including Seedy Saturday, was set up at Heritage Ranch to collect and swap seeds, share ideas and promote the annual harvest dinner, prepared by Chef Mike Ubbing at the Westlake Grill. Ubbing said the challenge for him was to create a gourmet dinner using local products without putting the costs out of reach. “It’s taken me six years to build supply lines and they’re finally getting to my standards,” said Ubbing, who grows herbs outside of his kitchen and also produces some of his own vegetables

in a garden at home. “Price is a huge issue. It costs local growers on small farms a lot more to grow products than your big commercial farms.” In the yard outside of his restaurant, a collection of those growers had set up displays to show the results of their efforts. Vance and Brenda Barritt, who operate Earthworks Farm northeast of Alix, have adopted permaculture principles in which the entire farm operation is integrated into single production cycle. Brenda describes permaculture as a concept that originated in Australia, based on working with the ecosystem in a more permanent and perennial way than standard practices. They have recently been joined in the operation by New Brunswickan Mark Cogswell, who shed the cosmos of information technology to come west and learn about sustainable farming. Cogswell met the Barritts through Vance’s mother, Connie, during permaculture classes offered at Gull Lake by a company based in Calgary. He has been working on the Barritts’ farm to hone and develop his skills, with hope of setting up an operation of his own in the future. “A lot of people who study permaculture, they live in cities and they want to find a way to grow veggies in their backyard, which is great. But permaculture has the ability to solve a lot of sustainability issues on large farms,” said Cogswell. Vance said he and Brenda are still working on getting their farm to the point where it becomes profitable enough to support the family.

Staying sanitized with water ionization INNISFAIL BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Russian scientists working during the paranoid era of the Cold War can take a healthy measure of credit for leading-edge technology aimed at keeping deadly bacteria out of the food supply. That technology is now hard at work in an Innisfail food plant and available to consumers throughout Central Alberta and beyond. Robert Sinnamon and his brothers, Glen and Don, have been growing vegetable sprouts on their property west of Innisfail for a number of years, marketing in major grocery stores and online under the trade names Living Foods, Sproutz Alive and Sun Sprout. Hit hard by news reports citing sprouts as a source of E. coli, salmonella and other potentially lethal bacteria, the Sinnamons started looking for a better way to ensure that their product would be absolutely safe. The harmful bacteria are found four layers deep in the seed, so the challenge was to find a product that could penetrate those layers without harm-

ing the seed or damaging the nutritional benefits of the sprouts, says Robert. He and his brothers found the solution in their own neighbourhood, created by a former dairy farmer who had immigrated from Switzerland. “I came to Canada to milk cows,” says entrepreneur Ivo Wachter, founder of Profound Technology Inc., located on the east side of Innisfail. Wachter’s family had operated a meat processing plant near Zurich for five generations and spanning more than 100 years. Wachter, his mother and his brothers took over operations from his father in the early 1990s, when food safety had become a major concern throughout Europe. At the same time, a group of scientists who had been working behind the Iron Curtain found themselves quite suddenly on their own. Shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Wachters encountered a Russian engineer who had helped develop a water ionization process that could produce an antibacterial agent without eating up the equipment being used to make it. Water ionization or water electrolysis was already known to produce a highly effective anti-bacterial agent that breaks down to pure water with a

minute residue of salt. However, because ionized water is highly corrosive, there had been no effective way to produce it without eating up the machinery being used in the process.

Some of the communities singled out for making illegal donations to the PC Party say those issues have been dealt with at their end. Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith said last week that the Progressive Conservative Party accepted more than $102,000 between 2004 and 2010 from taxpayer-funded municipalities, school boards and post-secondary institutions. Smith called on the PCs to pay the money back. Olds was identified by Wildrose as contributing $500 to the PC Association of Alberta, in two payments of $250, in October 2009 and September 2010. Town chief administrative officer Norm McInnis said on Friday those payments were unearthed last year following a Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act request.

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

FAIR: Doable So far, he continues to work off-farm to makes ends meet. It is doable, says Michalak, pointing to the success of a 106-acre agricultural forest in Wisconsin, operated by CEO Mark Shepard. It’s no accident that copies of Shepard’s book on sustainable agriculture were being offered for sale at the Earthworks Farm kiosk. The Barritts keep in contact with Shepard and view his work as a model for what they hope to accomplish on their own farm. Other producers attending the show included Jeff Gillies from Rocky Mountain House, who spoke about the role of bacteria in producing good compost and herb grower Daniel Chappell of Country Thyme Farm at Bowden. Chappell led a workshop on collecting and saving seeds. He said afterward that he takes any opportunity available to get exposure for the farm he operates with his wife, Anna. “We think Red Deer does a lot of good things, and I know they’re trying to get more avenues for local producers to be able to have a presence in Red Deer.” While the farm is focused on herbs and salad greens, it also produces root vegetables and operates a share program. Chappell said he has attended the spring version of EcoLiving for the last two years. “I think it’s gaining momentum. It seems to be drawing a lot of public support. The key factor is the fact that it’s a community group in Red Deer for us and that it’s supporting sustainable living,” he said. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

WATER: High standards The engineer had been on a team of 1,500 Russian scientists who solved the puzzle, says Wachter. They had been put to the task by Soviet leaders who feared a biological attack from the United States and its allies, he says. Using a crude machine the Russian built for them, the Wachters tested the product in their meat plant and sent swabs to a national laboratory for testing. The results were well beyond Europe’s high standards, says Wachter. One sample was deemed sterile, he says. He and his brothers fine-tuned the Russian process, using the end product to cleanse the meat they were processing and to sanitize hard surfaces in the plant. At one point, an international bottling company approached them about selling the product. Representatives from the company came to the plant for a look. Instead of striking a deal, they tried to copy it, says Wachter. The result was $30 million in damage to the

LOTTERIES

pipes in the plant they had built in an effort to immitate what the Wachters had done, he says. Wachter moved to Canada in the mid-1990s after he and his brothers sold the meat plant, including their water ionization process, to a larger company. After a few years in the dairy business, he decided to sell out and set up a new water electrolysis shop in Innisfail, believing food safety standards in Canada to be about 15 years behind Europe and hoping to capitalize on the process he had helped create. The big break came two years ago, when the Canadian Food Inspection Agency accepted Biostel as a microbial control agent for use as process water for fruits, vegetables, red meats and poultry as well as a sanitizer for hard surfaces. Health Canada confirmed on Friday that the reference listing remains in place, most recently updated on July 26. Officials from the CFIA declined further comment on the process. For Robert Sinnamon, the CFIA approval, along with testing by a renowned microbiologist from Guelph University, was the break he needed to ensure that his customers were receiving a safe and healthy product. He and his brothers changed their process to incorporate Biostel. The seeds are soaked in fullstrength solution for 24 hours, and then placed on sterilized stainless steel trays for sprouting. Over the next four days, they are misted 195 times with reverse-osmosis water that has been injected with Biostel. They are misted once more just before packaging. Sinnamon says there have been noticeable changes since making the switch. The seeds keep longer and the trays no longer develop a biofilm during the sprouting process. “Every living food has the potential to carry harmful bacteria and we all know that we should be eating more leafy greens,” says Sinnamon. “This product not only kills pathogens like E.coli, salmonella and Listeria, but also oxidizes herbicides and pesticides. It is easy and convenient to use because there is no need to rinse it off,” Wachter markets Biostel as a multifaceted product for use in food processes and treating water wells. He has no plans to sell the process itself. Sinnamon Brothers Holdings Ltd. also markets Biostel under its own company, BioHygienic Solutions Inc. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

mayor and council members for attending events such as the premier’s dinner. Council agreed to pay any improper reimbursements back, although a final figure has not been released. The town was not able to provide more details on the discrepancy and what was previously paid back on Friday. Rimbey-Rocky Mountain HouseSundre Wildrose MLA Joe Anglin was behind the uncovering of the expenses years ago and he believes the message got out to municipalities. He gives the mayor and council of Rimbey credit for returning money. Anglin doubts any municipalities are making the same mistakes now. “I’m pretty sure that nonsense has come to a close since I first exposed it. I think we woke up a few people,” said Anglin. Before the donations were brought to light, many communities treated it as standard procedure. County of Stettler is identified by Wildrose as making $6,540 in illegal donations. Those came to light in 2013 following a Freedom of Information request. In reviewing documents dating back nearly a decade, the county found that $3,440 was paid out to councillors to attend “politically associated” events and another $3,100 was reimbursed to staff. Other Central Alberta communities highlighted by Wildrose include: ● Three Hills — $105, PC golf tour/ dinner, May 2007; $150, lunch, June 2006. ● Town of Stettler — $150, MLA fundraiser, July 2008; $150, MLA fundraiser, June 2009; $175, MLA fundraiser, July 2010. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Those were unearthed and reported to Elections Alberta after it sent a letter to all municipalities to check their books for illegal donations after receiving numerous complaints. Sylvan Lake reported its findings to Elections Alberta and was levied a fine of $369.42, which was paid in July 2012, said communications officer Joanne Gaudet. Neither the payments nor the fine were made public at the time. However, some of the information came to light in a report Elections Alberta posted on its website in February 2013. The report said Sylvan Lake improperly contributed $640 to the Innisfail-Sylvan Lake Progressive Conservative Constituency Association. The town broke rules in September 2010 by waiving the normal rental fee for a facility used for a fundraising function. Under the Election Accountability Amendment Act, the chief electoral officer said he could release details of violations only as far back as December 2009, although opposition parties called for a full list of infractions dating back to 2004. Gaudet said processes are in place to ensure that all donations meet provincial rules. “Current staff and council are all very well versed in the Disclosure Act and feel confident issues like that of the past will not repeat themselves,” she said. Wildrose highlighted Rimbey as the biggest illegal contributor to the PC Party with $12,430 in donations between February 2005 and August 2010. That number is bigger than the $9,500 in alleged donations uncovered in a Freedom of Information request in 2010. The money was reimbursed to the

Rachel Notley wins ballot to become new leader of NDP

COATS FOR KIDS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Rachel Notley picked up the torch from her famous father Saturday, winning a commanding 70 per cent of the party vote to become the new leader of Alberta’s NDP. She told 300 cheering supporters that it’s time to sweep away a tired Progressive Conservative government shot through with rot and scandal. “Politics should be about more than nervously promising to clean up the mess you’ve made,” said Notley in her acceptance speech at the Sutton Place Hotel in Edmonton. “It should be about more than issue management.

MONDAY, OCT. 20, 2014

We’re being shortchanged Canadians expect to have our environment protected, and to know how it’s being protected. A report from Canada’s Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development shows we’re being shortchanged. “In many key areas that we looked at, it is not clear how the government intends to address the significant environmental challenges that future growth and DAVID development SUZUKI will likely bring about,” commissioner Julie Gelfand said of the report, which used government data, or lack thereof, to assess the government’s success or failure to implement its own regulations and policies. Among other things, the report concludes Canada is not on track to meet its greenhouse gas emissions targets, has delayed monitoring of oil sands pollutants and lacks plans to monitor the oil sands beyond next year, and has no clear guidelines regarding what

SCIENCE

projects require environmental assessments. On top of that, the government has been promising oil and gas sector emission regulations since 2006, but has yet to release them. It claims new regulatory proposals were completed a year ago, but the report finds those are based on consultation only with “one province and selected industry representatives” — all unnamed. The oil and gas industry is Canada’s fastest-growing source of emissions, especially the oilsands. The report also found government reporting on emissions to be misleading, especially in not giving due credit. For example, what little progress has been made in reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions comes mainly from Ontario’s move to shut down its coal-powered generators. And total emissions continue to rise. “There’s no overall plan, national plan, for how we’re going to achieve our target,” Gelfand told reporters at a news conference. “And climate change is affecting all Canadians.” She also noted the federal committee responsible for the climate plan hasn’t met in three years. Although government has a “Northern Strategy,” the commissioner found surveying and the capacity to make charts of the Arctic are inadequate and that icebreaking services have decreased, while vessel traffic has in-

creased. Considering the profound changes from global warming in the north, this is serious. Sadly, the inability of governments to deal with climate change is neither just national, nor recent. We’ve been saddled with government indolence on climate and pollution for far too long, and in far too many places around the world. But Canada has been singled out for getting in the way of progress at global climate negotiations, and we’re the only country to have pulled out of the legally binding Kyoto Protocol. In rejecting the notion of proven methods to reduce emissions through carbon pricing, our prime minister said, “No matter what they say, no country is going to take actions that are going to deliberately destroy jobs and growth in their country.” But evidence from around the world shows numerous economic benefits from acting on climate change, while failing to act comes with massive and increasing costs, including to human health and well-being. The idea that we should base our economic progress on digging up and selling our resources — from coal to liquefied natural gas to oil sands bitumen — as quickly as possible is absurd. Even if we ignore pollution and global warming, wasting these valuable resources borrows from our children and grandchildren and

leaves them nothing in return. Everywhere, people are demanding change. More than 300,000 attended the People’s Climate March in New York in September, with many more joining scores of solidarity marches in cities around the world. A growing number of business leaders and global organizations, including the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, are calling for carbon pricing through carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems to help address the crisis. Religious leaders, including the Pope and Desmond Tutu, have joined scientists and scientific organizations from every continent to demand action. During the David Suzuki Foundation’s cross-country Blue Dot Tour, I’ve heard from countless Canadians who are doing their part to protect the air, water, soil and biological diversity that keep us alive and healthy. They expect our elected representatives to do the same. As the environment commissioner said of the government’s inability to meet its own targets, “When you make a commitment, you need to keep it.” That’s especially true when it comes to global warming, the most serious challenge our species has faced. Scientist, author and broadcaster David Suzuki wrote this column with Ian Hanington. Learn more at www.davidsuzuki.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Chronic underfunding of local health care must be addressed It is with dismay to read that Central Zone will be getting only 28 more continuing care spaces, none of them in Red Deer (Advocate reporter Susan Zielinski: Region getting 28 more spaces, Oct. 16, 2014). The previous week, over 50 alternate level of care patients occupied beds in Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, putting huge pressure on our acute care system. This number of patients who could be placed in alternate care is typical. Of 464 beds announced provincially, 28 are to be distributed throughout Central Alberta. This falls short of addressing our ongoing dire predicament in our efforts to deliver quality health care. The government should recognize the need for catch-up in Central Alberta by building new much-needed space to take pressure off our acute care beds. For close to two decades, local health-care workers have squeezed out every last ounce of efficiency, only to be rewarded by continued chronic underfunding. Serving a vast geography and population of Central Zone, Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre has the fourth highest acuity of hospitals in the entire province. We have been growing steadily in population and severity of medical problems we treat. The urgent need for increased capacity is clearly obvious, yet continuing care beds are distributed throughout the province in numbers that appear to be in response to political, rather than clinical, need. It’s time Central Albertans take note and speak up loudly. As a conservative stronghold for decades, political complacency in government seems to have caused continued underfunding across the entire spectrum of health care for citizens Central Alberta. Voice your concerns, not only to our MLAs who have tried to get our message through, but also to our provincial leaders. There is an opportunity to restore equitable funding to Central Alberta, but only if the population vociferously expresses this message to our government. Paul E. Hardy General Surgeon Red Deer

Riverview Park bylaw raises concerns Your article Quality of life grades high on Saturday, Oct. 11, in the Advocate prompts me to write this letter. The questions you ask and whom you ask determines the answers you want to receive. This mini survey no doubt caused a reaction of hand wringing and self backslapping at City Hall. But, is it truly representative? If you were to ask the “quality of life question” to the residents of the recently annexed Riverview Park subdivision you will likely get a far more critical response, including the question of value received for tax dollars contributed to the city. Despite the flowery statements of welcome from City Hall in 2009, annexation brought a series of issues and challenges to the residents of Riverview Park by the City of Red Deer that have a severely negative impact on our quality of life. The latest initiative by the city is the passage of Bylaw 3357/0-2014, for which a public hearing was held on Sept. 15. The passage of this bylaw has serious far reaching and devastating consequences for this area. A public hearing, which is mandated by provincial legislation, is supposed to allow for input by anybody who may be impacted by such a bylaw. A number of people made their views known and

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Fred Gorman Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director

unanimously opposed this bylaw and requested that the city not pass this it in its present form. We requested further consultation and dialogue to arrive at a better and fairer solution. From the questions and comments from some of the councillors, it became evident that they had serious concerns about the wisdom of continuing with this bylaw. At this point, the city manager became involved in the discussion and obviously felt that this bylaw that had been initiated by his administration was in jeopardy. Consequently it was requested by the mayor, likely on the urging of the city manager, that the meeting be recessed and continue “in camera” to present confidential information to council. We are obviously not privileged to know what was discussed in camera or what other information had to be presented to council but it certainly opens the doors to all kinds of speculations. The fact that the meeting had to go to camera to salvage a bylaw that is severely flawed is deeply troubling. If a bylaw has to be passed under the cloak of secrecy, it should not be passed at all. What is the motive for this bylaw? What is being hidden? Why was due diligence not done ahead of time? What was the urgency that this bylaw had to be passed in such a hurry? Are some of the questions that come to mind. Upon resumption of the public portion of the meeting, the bylaw was immediately passed with only one councillor opposing it. At least the duty to hold a public meeting had been fulfilled. The concerns about this latest issue confronting the residents of Riverview Park by the introduction of this bylaw goes far beyond the fact that the bylaw is bad and unfair, that the residents and landowners of Riverview Park are being treated shabbily, that much of the planning and the way this area has been brought into the city by annexation was poorly done with little foresight or consultation with the stake holders. It also points out, possibly even more importantly, that there are serious problems with governance in this city. Rene Weber Red Deer

TFWP puts Canadians first Please allow me to correct statements in the article TFW cap impacts labour shortage: Kobly (Advocate, Oct. 16) asserting that the government of Canada is overstating the number of temporary foreign workers in Alberta and understating the wage increases in this province’s food service industry. In 2013, Alberta was the province with the most entries of low-wage temporary foreign workers, yet there are currently 110,000 Albertans looking for work and Alberta’s population is growing by over 100,000 individuals per year. With this evidence, it is clear there are too many people capable of working who are not in the labour force. In addition, if there is a shortage of labour, this should be reflected in higher wages. However, wages in the Alberta food services sector have gone up by only one per cent per year over the past eight years, versus an increase of two per cent for inflation and four per cent for all jobs in Alberta — demonstrating that this sector has become dependent on temporary foreign workers. Putting all of this in context, once fully implemented, the changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) will prevent the admission of approximately 8,000 low-wage temporary foreign workers into Alberta — representing approximately 0.3 per cent of its labour force. In addition, the $1,000 fee is a cost-recovery fee that ensures it is employers who are applying for temporary foreign workers that pay the costs of processing applications and completing investigations, not Canadian taxpayers. It also ensures that employers are following the rules of the program. The TFWP was reformed to restore the program to its original purpose — as a last and limited resource for employers when there are no qualified Canadians to fill available jobs. This program should not be used as a business model by employers. The message to employers is clear and unequivocal — Canadians must always be first in line for available jobs.

BRIEF Trudeau suggests Harper’s planned tax cuts could be reversed by Liberal gov’t OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is signalling the tax cuts promised by the Conservative government could lead to a political showdown ahead of the 2015 federal election. Trudeau suggested in an interview today with CBC’s French-language service Radio-Canada that a Liberal government would prioritize investment in infrastructure, education, and research over any tax relief. He says he’s made a promise as leader of the party to build an economy with a strong and growing middle class. Trudeau made the comments in response to a question on RadioCanada’s Les coulisses du pouvoir about the cost of those planned investments, and whether it would be politically difficult for him to reverse any cuts given to taxpayers. Finance Minister Joe Oliver hinted last week cuts could be announced as soon as the annual fall economic update. Oliver has said plans to balance the budget in 2015 remain on track despite the falling price of oil. The Prime Minister’s Office chastised Trudeau for his remarks, saying the government is intent on providing tax relief to Canadians. In contrast, spokesman Jason MacDonald says, Trudeau will hike taxes to “spend billion of dollars” expanding government. A Trudeau official, meantime, said the government has put forward a poorly designed tax cut while the Liberals have offered a counterproposal focused on jobs and growth.

Public health organization calls for inquiry into murdered/missing native women OTTAWA — The Canadian Public Health Association is joining a growing chorus of calls for a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. In a statement to be released publicly on Monday on its website (www.cpha.ca), the organization is also calling on the federal government to assess any actions taken as a result of previous inquiries, reports and investigations into missing and murdered native women. It also urges the Conservatives to heed a call from the World Health Organization to develop and implement an integrated action plan for violence prevention that addresses its root causes. Those efforts should be led by First Nations, Inuit and Métis partners and engage all levels of government and civil society, the association says. The Canadian Public Health Association is a 104-year-old organization founded by a small group of doctors who were concerned about the state of public health in Canada. The voluntary, nongovernmental association calls itself the independent voice for public health in Canada. Human rights groups, First Nations and opposition parties are all urging the Conservative government to call an inquiry into hundreds of murdered and missing aboriginal women. However, so far the Canadian government has resisted

Alberta not considering roundup, slaughter of CFB Suffield Elk BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta has discouraging words for ranchers about a proposal to round up and kill thousands of wild elk that live on military base rangeland, but jump fences to eat and trample private crops. Ranchers and community leaders say the growing elk herd at CFB Suffield in the province’s southeast has been out of control for years and hunting alone will not reduce it to a manageable size. Fed up with lack of action, a group of people submitted a draft proposal to the province in July that calls for humanely capturing about 1,500 elk each year, moving the animals to an elk farm and slaughtering them over time at a provincially approved abattoir. The meat would be donated to food banks. Environment Minister Kyle Fawcett said he knows people are concerned about the herd, but the Suffield elk proposal is not the way to go. “Right now it isn’t what we are looking at. We think it can be managed in a different way,” he said. “We want to manage this species through a longer-term strategy with hunting licences.” Fawcett said the government is concerned about the cost of the proposal, which was put together by the owner of

the abattoir in consultation with ranchers, community leaders and the Medicine Hat Food Bank. He suggested it would also be challenging to get the federal government to approve a plan that would involve access to a military base with security concerns. “One of the problematic factors to this issue is that we are dealing with a federal agency. And there are some very strict rules about access to this particular piece of land.” The Suffield elk were brought to the base in 1997 and 1998 from Elk Island National Park near Edmonton to introduce grazing animals to the region. Over time the 200 elk multiplied to between 6,000 and 8,000 animals. Along with damage to crops, some ranchers are worried the elk could spread animal maladies such as tuberculosis and brucellosis to cattle. To deal with the burgeoning population, the province started issuing hunting licences a few years ago. In 2012, the Alberta government gave out 200 hunting tags for female elk. Last year the number increased to 300. This year, hunters can shoot up to 600 female elk. People in the area say the problem with Alberta’s plan is that more elk are born each year than are being hunted. Until more are killed than are being born, the size of the herd will continue to grow.

Perry Dearing of Deerview Meats, who wrote the draft proposal, said that plan would reduce the herd over four or five years to a sustainable size. “They don’t want to eliminate the elk. They just want to bring it down to a healthy, viable manageable number,” Dearing said. “Once they get the animals down to 2,000 head, the hunting program should be able to sustain a healthy herd.” Fawcett said the government will consider issuing more hunting tags for female elk and extending the hunting season if the province’s strategy doesn’t get the job done. Lt.-Col. Sean Hackett, commander of CFB Suffield, has said the elk problem is complex because it involves managing wildlife that is under Alberta jurisdiction, but moves back and forth from a federal base onto private land. Hackett said Alberta officials have to come up with an understanding of how many elk can be sensibly and sustainably harvested to reduce the herd to a more comfortable size. Some ranchers, including Jeff Lewandoski, are just as frustrated with the federal government over the elk herd. Lewandoski wrote a letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper on June 27 to ask for Ottawa’s help. The letter includes an invitation for Harper to come to the area and shoot a trophy elk.

Close call as hurricane Gonzalo howls just off southeastern Newfoundland BY THE CANADIAN PRESS ST JOHNS, N.L. — Hurricane Gonzalo howled just off southeastern Newfoundland early Sunday dumping heavy rain but the fast-moving storm left little trace besides pounding surf. Gonzalo struck a glancing blow in the capital St. John’s and on the Avalon Peninsula before racing out into the North Atlantic. The Canadian Hurricane Centre said about 48 millimetres of rain was recorded at St. John’s International Airport on Sunday morning. Meteorologist Chris Fogarty said the province “dodged a bullet.” “It pretty much tracked exactly where we thought it would and the winds over land were quite gusty and very heavy rainfalls but ... things stayed quite quiet over land,” Fogarty said from Halifax.

“It was definitely a close call. If it tracked about 200 kilometres farther north, they would have gotten some very damaging winds.” Fogarty said wave heights were continuing to increase Sunday morning on the southern coast of the Avalon Peninsula, reaching up to 12 metres. He said low tide was expected to help ease any effects of the crashing surf. Sharon Topping, who lives in Trepassey on the Avalon’s southeast coast, said there was no major damage or debris on the roads but the sea was churning. She took a drive farther east early Sunday. “The waves there are phenomenal,” she said of remote Cape Race on the southeast tip of Newfoundland where the distress signal from RMS Titanic was received April 14, 1912. “The ocean is furious.” Topping said she was prepared for much

more severe weather but was relieved to see Gonzalo go quietly. “You’ve got to be prepared for the worst.” Onshore wind blasts up to almost 70 kilometres an hour drove pouring rain sideways early Sunday at Cape Spear southeast of St. John’s. Those conditions weren’t enough to put off more than 350 runners who showed up for a 20-kilometre road race from the iconic lighthouse to Cabot Tower on Signal Hill. The scenic but hilly course is billed as the toughest endurance race of its kind in eastern North America, and that’s on a good day. “I’m crazy,” Doug Grouchy of St. John’s laughed before he and other runners took off at 8 a.m. local time. “We’ve done it every year and we couldn’t stop for a hurricane,” Carolyn Jones of nearby St. Philip’s said of the gruelling race, now in its eighth year.

Rebels’ late game woes continue CAN’T HOLD LEAD IN THIRD PERIOD TO LOSE FIFTH STRAIGHT GAME BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Raiders 4 Rebels 2 The Red Deer Rebels were right there after two periods, a mere 20 minutes from snapping a four-game Western Hockey League losing streak. But their one-goal lead turned into a two-goal deficit before the halfway mark of the final frame and the Rebels fell 4-2 to the Prince Albert Raiders in front of 2,265 fans at the Art Hauser Centre. The Raiders, blessed with a twoman advantage for two full minutes, pulled even 1:04 into the third period on a goal by Craig Leverton. Jayden Hart connected at 5:55 and Matteo Gennaro, with his first of the season, scored the eventual winner just under

three minutes later. The turning point was the Raiders’ two-man advantage, which came about when Kayle Doetzel and Rebels captain Conner Bleackley were both penalized in the final minute of the second period; Doetzel for interference — which Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter said was the appropriate call — and Bleackley for unsportsmanlike conduct for arguing the infraction. “It was a bad penalty by him (Bleackley),” said Sutter. “That’s a penalty he can’t take, that no one can take at any point. It’s unacceptable.” Haydn Fleury brought the Rebels within one with his first goal of the season — a power-play tally — at 14:09, but the Raiders put it away when Reid Gardiner scored with just under two minutes remaining.

The outcome left the Rebels winless on their brief trip — which opened Friday with a 3-2 loss at Saskatoon — and with just a single point in their last five outings. The Raiders held a 21-20 advantage in shots through 40 minutes, then outshot their guests 15-6 in the third period. Sutter took solace in the fact that his club was focused and playing the systems almost to a tee for the first two periods. “I was disappointed with the way we played the first night, but last night we actually played very well for the first half of the game,” said Sutter. “It’s just the little things that are costing us . . . details in the game. The disappointing part of it from the coaches’ standpoint is that these are things we work on daily and yet breakdowns are costing us goals.

“When you’re in tight games you just can’t make those kinds of mistakes. There’s a lot of parity in this league. Unless one team really struggles, there aren’t many games that are going to be decided by three or four goals . . . most are going to be one or two goals, and right now we’re on the other side of it. “But we did a lot of good things last night. We played extremely well for two periods and that game was right there for us.” Prince Albert netminder Nick McBride made 24 saves and Rylan Toth turned aside 32 shots for the Rebels. “Tother was good this weekend, we were happy with him,” said Sutter. The Rebels are idle until Friday, when they host the Prince George Cougars. The Moose Jaw Warriors visit the Centrium 24 hours later. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Eskimos rally to beat Riders BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Eskimos 24 Roughriders 19 REGINA — The Edmonton Eskimos landed three staggering blows on Sunday, all of which helped to bring down the Saskatchewan Roughriders on their home field. Kendial Lawrence, Mike Reilly and the Eskimos’ defensive unit all played pivotal roles in Edmonton’s second straight victory, a 24-19 triumph over the Riders at Mosaic Stadium. It was Reilly and the Edmonton offence that delivered the knockout punch midway through the fourth quarter. Reilly orchestrated an 84-yard touchdown drive that proved to be the decisive points in the come-frombehind win _ one that improved the Eskimos’ record to 11-5. The veteran quarterback called his own number on the touchdown, a five-yard run that saw him dive across the goal-line for the score to make it 24-13. “We didn’t execute all that well in the first half and (Saskatchewan) was giving us a bunch of different looks that they hadn’t shown all year and it confused us a little bit,” said Reilly, whose team trailed 13-4 at halftime. “But we started to execute our plays in the second half and started to figure out what they were doing.” Reilly threw for 260 yards on the day, including 177 yards in the second half. A late touchdown reception by the Riders’ Korey Williams brought the home team to within five, but the twopoint convert failed and the Riders’ offence never touched the ball again. The Eskimos’ special teams delivered the first punch of the second half in the form of a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Lawrence, a play that opened the third quarter. Edmonton’s defence quieted the Riders’ faith-

ful and shut out quarterback Kerry Joseph and the Saskatchewan offence until the game’s final minute. “It was huge,” Reilly said of Lawrence’s kickoff return. “It seems like every time we need a spark we’ve got it, whether it’s our defence causing a turnover, or special teams scoring for us or giving us good field position. We just feed off of each other, and when two of the three units needs a push then the third one usually provides it.” The kickoff return for a touchdown was the fifth touchdown the Riders have allowed on special teams this season. Joseph, playing in his first game in more than a year, started at quarterback for the Riders and provided a spark in the first half. The 42-yearold found slotback Brett Swain for a 17-yard touchdown. Swain made a pretty diving catch in the end zone for the only major score in the first half. Chris Milo kicked a 17-yard field goal and the Riders, who have lost four straight games, enjoyed a rare lead at the half. The Riders occupy third place in the West Division with a 9-7 record. “He gave us a shot (to win),” Riders’ head coach Corey Chamblin said of Joseph’s performance. Joseph finished the day 17 for 36 passing for 213 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw a pair of interceptions. Chamblin said Joseph will start on Friday in Calgary against the firstplace Stampeders, but this is the week that injured quarterback Darian Durant is eligible to return from the sixgame injured list. Durant had surgery about a month ago to repair a torn tendon in right elbow. “You can’t just wait to turn it up when Darian gets back. That’s crap,” Foley added. “We had a chance to win today and you just have to make the plays.”

Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly throws a pass against the Saskatchewan Roughriders during the first quarter of CFL football action in Regina, Sask., Sunday. Saskatchewan’s offence again struggled to incorporate slotback Weston Dressler into their attack. Dressler managed just two catches for 31 yards on Sunday and has been limited to 10 receptions in his past four games. Adarius Bowman caught six passes for 111 yards and broke the Eskimos’ single-season reception record, set in 1990 by Craig Ellis. Bowman leads the CFL in catches with 107. The CFL record for catches in a season is 160, set

by Derrell Mitchell in 1998. “He has taken a big step in his career in maturing this off-season and mentally understanding the big role he needs to play in this offence,” Reilly said. “He has taken the initiative and it’s not me asking the receivers to get together to talk. That’s all on Adarius now. It’s nice to see him turn into that veteran playmaker.” Edmonton has a bye this week.

Flames finish road trip with win over Jets BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Flames 4 Jets 1 WINNIPEG — It wasn’t surprising to hear laughter coming out of the Calgary Flames’ dressing room after their 4-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday. The victory finished off Calgary’s six-game road trip with a fourth win away from home (4-3-0), while the Jets have now lost four in a row. Dennis Wideman, Johnny Gaudreau and Mason Raymond scored in a span of six minutes and 42 seconds in the second period and T.J. Brodie added one in the third. “Six games, it doesn’t matter if you’re travelling way east or way west or what have you, but it’s not an easy trip,” said Raymond, who also had two assists. “I think collectively we’re really pleased with the outcome. Four and two, I mean, that’s a good start to the season for us. “I know we’re looking forward to getting home and having a (five-game) homestand, but we’ll definitely enjoy this win tonight.” Flames netminder Jonas Hiller stopped 34 shots, only letting Mark Scheifele score in the first period for Winnipeg (1-4-0). Ondrej Pavelec faced 29 shots. “We’re growing, don’t give us flowers too soon,” Flames head coach Bob Hartley said of his team’s early success. “It’s not time for this. There’s only seven games played. We still have a long way ago.” The Jets had outshot the Flames 136 in the first period. “I think one of the biggest things tonight was (Hiller) was huge in the first

We surrendered just one, so we regrouped and had a good second period. I thought we really played with a lot more confidence underneath our feet and banged those three in right away.” Wideman and rookie Gaudreau, who was benched for the last game, also each had an assist. “I think I played a better game tonight,” said Gaudreau, whose powerplay goal was his first this season.

“It’s nice to always help contribute offensively. I think the whole team as a whole, it was one of our better games on the road.” Gaudreau’s power-play goal was the first Winnipeg has given up this season in 19 penalty-kill situations. Raymond followed up with his fifth goal of the season off a high wrist shot at 12:54 to make it 3-1. The Flames had 18 shots in the middle period and were outshooting the Jets 24-23 heading into the third. Brodie made it 4-1 at 3:18 when he

put a rebound high past Pavelec. Mark Stuart said Calgary forced Winnipeg’s defence to stretch and they fell off their game plan. “We just weren’t quite as tight,” Stuart said. “It doesn’t take much in this league for a game to turn around like that so we’ll take a look at it, go back to work tomorrow and work on turning this thing around.” It was the second game of a fivegame homestand for Winnipeg, which hosts Carolina on Tuesday. Scheifele scored his first goal of the season after Mathieu Perreault passed the puck from behind the net to Blake Wheeler at the right side. Wheeler then sent it across to Scheifele for a high shot into the side of the net at 10:28 of the first. Winnipeg had a goal reviewed and disallowed earlier in the first when defenceman Anthony Peluso rifled a shot that hit the crossbar and then the post. After opening their season with a 6-2 win over Arizona, the Jets have only scored two goals in their four-game losing skid. “(The record) is reflective of the kind of hockey we’ve played,” Jets head coach Paul Maurice said. “The record’s accurate. The first period is about as a good as we’re going to look. And then it’s that constant battle with having the confidence to keep doing what you’re doing, not change what you’re doing. “Even in that second period, you’ve got to find that confidence to stay up and stay aggressive in that period, and we’re having a hard time with that right now. We’re doing this together. That second period is not the way it’s supposed to look, so that’s on me.” Calgary was 1 for 3 on the power play and Winnipeg 0 for 2.

Manning break record in rout of 49ers been a wonderful player and I’ve enjoyed watching you play. I’ve enjoyed competing against you. I wish you great success for the rest of the season and the rest of your career.” Manning added a 40-yard TD throw to Thomas after Aqib Talib’s interception in the third quarter that made it 28-10, and then Thomas set up another score with a 49-yard catch. This time, running back Ronnie Hillman darted through the line for a career-long 37-yard run that made it 35-10. He added a 1-yarder as the Broncos (5-1) finally found a ground game to go with Manning’s passing prowess. Manning completed 22 of 26 passes for 318 yards with no interceptions to go with his four TD throws. Demaryius Thomas caught eight of those throws for 171 yards, giving him an eye-popping 521 yards receiving and five TDs over the last three games. The 49ers (4-3) did very little right in seeing their three-game winning streak snapped. Their only real highlight was Colin Kaepernick’s 4-yard TD pass to Stevie Johnson with 11 seconds left in the half brought the 49ers to 21-10. Kaepernick completed 24 of 39 passes for 263 yards with one TD and one interception. He was sacked six times — DeMarcus Ware had three and Von Miller two. His backup, Blaine Gabbert, threw a 20-yard TD pass to Bruce Ellington with a minute left. This night belonged the Manning from start to finish. He threw a 3-yard TD pass to Sanders on Denver’s first drive and tied the record when Welker took a pass over the middle for 39 yards. Sanders’ score was his first in Denver, and he became the 47th player to catch a TD pass from Manning. Manning reached the milestone in his 246th regular-season game. Favre needed 302. “I think Brett has always known he is one of my favourite players. He played the position with so much passion, so much toughness and great production as a quarterback,” Manning

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Broncos 42 49ers 17 DENVER — Peyton Manning’s receivers played keep-away with his milestone memento and the NFL’s new leader in career touchdown passes toyed with the San Francisco 49ers in the Denver Broncos’ emphatic 42-17 victory Sunday night. Manning went into the showdown two TDs shy of Brett Favre’s record of 508 and threw four touchdown passes, giving him 510. “It is quite an honour,” Manning said. “I do have great appreciation for quarterbacks who played this game throughout the years. It’s very humbling, has taken a lot of hard work, a lot of people helped me get to this point.” Manning surpassed Favre’s mark with an 8-yard strike to Demaryius Thomas late in the second quarter. As he went to retrieve the football, his teammates decided to have some fun. Thomas tossed the historic ball over Manning and to Emmanuel Sanders, who then lobbed it to Wes Welker. From there, Welker dished it back to Sanders, who then flipped it to Julius Thomas — all of Manning’s favourite targets getting into the act. “I heard whispers about something,” Manning said. “Those guys are all great athletes and my vertical leap isn’t what it used to be. I haven’t played keepaway since I was 8 years old. That is something I will always remember.” Finally, Manning got the ball along with congratulations from his teammates and coaches. The souvenir won’t end up on Manning’s mantle, however — the Pro Football Hall of Fame has a nice spot all ready for it. During the celebration on the sideline, Manning watched the giant scoreboard high above him in the south end zone as his boss, GM John Elway, and then Favre, offered their kudos. “I want to say congratulations for breaking the touchdown record,” Favre said. “I’m not surprised. You’ve

CFL SATURDAY ROUNDUP injured Drew Willy (hand), was 14-of-23 for 194 yards with no TDs and no picks. Brohm was injured late in the third quarter and replaced by Robert Marve. Head coach Mike O’Shea said after the game it’s suspected Brohm broke the thumb on his throwing hand. He added it’s expected Willy will be ready to play next week. Marve finished 5-of-10 for 64 yards and rushed five times for 36 yards. Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, who missed the last three games with knee and ankle injuries, threw TD passes to Brad Sinopoli and Joe West to guide the Stamps to their third straight win. Mitchell completed 18-of-28 pass attempts for 258 yards with the pair of TDS and two interceptions.

Cornish and Stampeders run over Blue Bombers WINNIPEG — Jon Cornish shared any praise for his 160-yard rushing performance Saturday with the Calgary Stampeders’ offensive line. Cornish plowed nine yards past defenders for a touchdown with 1:25 remaining to ensure the Stampeders (132) clinched first place in the CFL West Division with a 33-23 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The nine-play winning drive covered 60 yards, with Cornish accounting for 39 of those to record his fifth rushing TD of the season. “I just follow the blocks,’’ Cornish said. “Our offensive line, they stepped up When it gets down to the final minutes of the fourth quarter, as we’ve seen many times this year, they come out, they play their game. “It makes me look good. I’m just a reflection of their performance.’’ Cornish, who’s missed seven games this season, went into the match with 817 rushing yards _ 32 behind leagueleader Anthony Allen from Saskatchewan, who plays Sunday. Winnipeg (6-10) lost its seventh game in a row in front of a season-low crowd of 22,320 at Investors Group Field on a cold, windy night. The loss didn’t officially eliminate the Bombers from playoff contention, but their hopes are slim as they host the B.C. Lions (8-7) next week in a game between clubs trying to get a crossover berth into the East Division playoff picture. The defeat was also costly on Winnipeg’s quarterback front. Bombers quarterback Brian Brohm, making his first CFL start in place of

Als move into tie for first in East with victory over Argos TORONTO — Jonathan Crompton is 6-1 as Montreal’s starting quarterback, thanks to John Bowman and the rest of the Alouettes defence. Crompton was 19-of-28 passing for 219 yards and a TD as Montreal earned an important 20-12 win over Toronto on Saturday night. But it was the Alouettes’ defence that anchored the team’s fourth straight win by continually harassing Ricky Ray and keeping a potent Argonauts offence without a touchdown before 16,834 spectators at Rogers Centre. “It’s important to get every win because of how tight it is in the East,” said Bowman, the veteran Alouettes defensive lineman. “We came here with the intention of winning and getting after the quarterback and that’s exactly what we did.”

KINGS 2 WILD 1 LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Quick made 40 saves and Tyler Toffoli had a goal and an assist in the Los Angeles Kings’ fourth straight victory, 2-1 over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday. Toffoli scored an early powerplay goal and Tanner Pearson added a third-period goal for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who stayed perfect on their six-game homestand with another dominant game from Quick. The Kings also got two more goals from That 70s Line — the jersey-number-inspired nickname for Jeff Carter’s combo with youngsters Toffoli and Pearson. The trio has scored 11 of Los Angeles’ 14 goals this season. Niklas Backstrom stopped 14 shots and Matt Cooke scored with 13:13 to play for the Wild, who lost back-toback games in Southern California despite largely impressive performances. RANGERS 4 SHARKS 0 NEW YORK (AP) — Martin St. Louis and Rick Nash scored 4 seconds apart late in the second period, tying a New York Rangers record, and Henrik Lundqvist made 33 saves against San Jose. Lundqvist extended his franchise mark with his 51st career shutout as the Rangers (3-3-0) won their second consecutive game after losing three straight. Carl Hagelin and Kevin Hayes also scored for New York, which handed the Sharks (4-1-1) their first loss in reg-

ulation this season. St. Louis made it 2-0 at 19:16 of the second period with his first of the season. The Rangers won the ensuing faceoff and Nash immediately shot the puck. Sharks goalie Alex Stalock couldn’t contain the rebound, and Nash put it in for his league-leading seventh of the season at 19:20. The two goals 4 seconds apart set a Rangers record for the fastest pair without one being an empty-netter. Kris King and James Patrick scored 4 seconds apart on Oct. 9, 1991, against the New York Islanders, with Patrick’s going into an empty net. DUCKS 3 BLUES 0 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Sami Vatanen scored two power-play goals and Frederik Andersen stopped 27 shots in his first career shutout, leading Anaheim over St. Louis. Vatanen had his first career multigoal game, scoring on a pair of blistering one-timers as the Ducks (5-1-0) won their fifth straight and extended their home winning streak against St. Louis to eight games. Brian Elliott made 22 saves for the Blues, who went 1-1-1 on their road trip. St. Louis played without freeagent prize Paul Stastny, who sustained an upper-body injury Friday against Arizona. Matt Beleskey scored his fourth of the season 1:37 into the first period. Ryan Getzlaf had two assists.

Lightning finish third at cross-country provincials, Raiders fourth BY ADVOCATE STAFF The Hunting Hills Lightning ran to a third place finish in the 4A team division of the Alberta School Athletic Association High School Cross Country Running Provincial Championships in Okotoks on Saturday. They edged the Lindsay Thurber Raiders who finished fourth for a second straight year. Eric Lutz (17 minutes, 50 seconds) led Hunting Hills results with a silver medal in the intermediate boys five kilometre race, while Dina Iatrou (17:14) was fifth in senior girls, Jill Stewart (17:13) was sixth in the intermediate girls and Bailey Johnson (13:15) was sixth in junior girls. The Raiders were carried by the intermediate boys runners, scoring the highest point total in the province, led by Robert Chauvet (18:41) who finished ninth. He was followed closely by Ben Holmes (19:13) in 12th, and Ben Isaac (19:25) in 19th. Andrew Armstrong came in 35th while Bret Golier was 84th and Vance LeMasurier 98th. Other top results for LTCHS included senior girls’ runners, Shaelyn Moltzahn (17:52) in 14th and Rachelle Doyon (17:59) in 15th. Senior boys athletes, Noah Mulzet (14) finished his six kilometre race in a time of 23:47, and Madalyn Smith (18) completed the intermediate girls four kilometre distance in a time of 18:47. Other results for the Hunting Hills included: Jessie Handley (15:08) finishing 65th in junior girls; Myah Cota 15th (18:39), Janaya Garbe 21st (18:59),Mallory Fisher 68th (20:33), Lauren Jewkes 77th (20:57), and Brigitte Lischewski 80th (21:07) in intermediate girls; Rohit Razzaq 70th (21:32) in intermediate boys; Hayley Kitt 21st (18:22), Nagi Iida 33rd (19:11), Tara MacDonald 42nd (19:43), Erika Pearson 56th (20:19), Megan Johnson 61st (20:29) and Courtney Ness 79th (21:29) in senior girls; and Ben Arychuk 26th (24:50), Brandon Whissell 77th (27:45) in senior boys.

Northstars 4 Chiefs 1 Red Deer Optimist Chiefs head coach Brandin Cote is adamant that despite a slow start, his team has what it takes to contend this season. After falling 4-1 to the Calgary Northstars on Sunday at the Red Deer Arena, the Chiefs dropped to an uncharacteristic 2-4-2 record to open the Alberta Midget Hockey League season. However, the Chiefs certainly did not look like a team that was lagging behind on Sunday. “This was the best game we’ve played overall,” said Cote. “This weekend was probably our best weekend we’ve had overall in terms of playing better team defence, in terms of blocking shots and in terms of doing the little things we need to do to be successful.” Adam Tisdale, Jason Wenzel, Blake Connor and Ben Zinkan all scored for Calgary while Logan Drackett made 26 saves for the win. Ryan Vandervlis scored for Red Deer while Cole Sears stopped 16 shots in net. The biggest issue facing the Chiefs this season has been their team defence. The players have had difficulty adapting to Cote’s new systems, and through eight games they have allowed more goals 31, than any other team in the South Division. On Saturday, however, there was a marked improve-

ment in play in their own zone, despite a 2-1 loss to the Lethbridge Hurricanes. That effort continued on Sunday as they outplayed the Northstars until the final few minutes of the game. “The first three weeks we had people cheating on the wrong side of the puck, now we don’t as much,” said Cote. “We’re getting it , we’re blocking more shots, we’re playing tighter defensively, we have to shore some things up in terms of turnovers and mental errors in our own end. But it’s a mentality and that’s what we’re trying to teach the kids on a daily basis, and they’ll get it eventually.” On Sunday, Tisdale opened the scoring for Calgary at 3:47 of the first period, then Wenzel made it 2-0 at 13:59 on the power play. The Chiefs cut the lead in half at 7:50 of the second period but that’s as close as they would get. They appeared to tie the game up late in the third period, but the goal was called back on a high stick. About a minute later, Parker Smyth was called for charging and Blake snapped a third Northstars goal past Sears at 16:53. They added an emptynet goal at 17:42. “We started off pretty good, we had a couple of mistakes end up in the back of our net — they’re an opportunistic team — and from there we took the game over, we dominated and probably deserved better,” said Cote. “We had a goal called back that I thought

probably should have been a goal then we take a selfish penalty and it ends up in the back of our net.” Cote is confident that he has the right pieces in place on this club to make a playoff run. Right now they sit in last place in the division with six points, but they are only two points behind the Calgary Royals for fourth place. The head coach is preaching patience with this group. “It’s hard I think from the outside looking in,” said Cote. “In the past I think the teams have started out well and just rolled through. We’ve got a different group of people, but we’ve got a good group of people and a group of kids. We’re working with them, we’re teaching and at this point that’s all we really can ask. I truly believe we’re going in the right direction ... “We don’t want to be a team who peaks in October, we want to be a team that peaks in February and March.” Next week the Chiefs are on the road for both games, playing the Lloydminster Bobcats on Saturday at 4:15 p.m. and in Edmonton on Sunday to play the Canadian Athletic Club at 4:45 p.m. NOTES — Affiliated player Mack Differenz score the Chiefs only goal in their 2-1 loss to Lethbridge on Saturday at the Arena while Branden Bilodeau made 38 saves. Devin Ruff and Tanner Thompson replied for the Hurricanes while Arik Weersink made 28 saves. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate. com

RDC sweeps Lakeland in soccer action BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Kings 7 Rustlers 4 The Red Deer College Kings pulled off the upset of the Lakeland Rustlers on Saturday, but it still was not enough to keep their Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s soccer season going. The Kings crushed the previously undefeated Lakeland Rustlers 7-4 on Saturday at Red Deer College, but due to a tie between the SAIT Trojan and the Medicine Hat College Rattlers, RDC will miss provincials due to a head-to head tie breaker. “It’s a hard one to take,” said Kings head coach Steve Fullarton. “Overall, we were five goals better than Medicine Hat, but they were able to take points of fate and we weren’t.” The Kings (5-2-3) went into the weekend one point up on SAIT (5-2-3) and Medicine Hat (5-2-3) for the final playoff spot, except the Kings had just one game to play while SAIT and Medicine Hat both had two, including a Sunday showdown between the two schools. SAIT beat Lethbridge 2-1 on Saturday while Medicine Hat beat Olds College 2-0 to pull themselves within one point of RDC heading into their final match on Sunday. They then tied 0-0, deadlocking the three teams at 18 points. In headto-head match ups, the three teams all carried a 1-1-2 record, but SAIT had a plus-two goal differential, MHC was even and RDC was at minustwo. This leaves the Kings on the outside of the playoff picture. “We actually lost fewer games this season than we did last season, except we won the bronze medal last season,” said Fullarton. “It’s a very competitive league and it was nice to finish on a high note yesterday, to give Lakeland their first defeat of the season. The players have been absolutely brilliant this year for us.” On Saturday, Mark Ibberton led the Kings with three goals while Andrew Jevne, Dallas Hughes, Alim Hirji and Kirk Moody also scored while Morgan Drews picked up the win

RDC ATHLETICS The Red Deer Kings finished with a split at Lethbridge College to open the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s volleyball season. After winning 3-0 on Friday, they lost 3-1 (25-22,19-25,2519,25-19), despite being up 1711 in the first set. Tim Finnigan was named

in net. Stefan Cukovic scored all four goals for Lakeland (7-1-2) while Alex Campos took the loss in net. “We saved our best for last,” said Fullarton. “We started off really, really well but our performance level dropped then we picked it up again and then it dropped a bit, but we dug in and we were determined not to lose this game.” The game became much more complicated than it needed to be in the second half. After RDC ran out to a 4-1 lead through the first 45 minutes, Lakeland slowly cut the lead to 4-3. But the Kings responded with three late goals, including two from Ibberton, to put the game on ice. “We came in with the right mentality for once,” said Ibberton. “We’ve played a lot of games this year and not went to our full potential and today we showed the league what we’re capable of.” Unfortunately, it still wasn’t enough. RDC did well to stay in the playoff picture all season, despite a rash of injuries — Saturday’s game was their first of the season with a fully healthy lineup. “We had a lot go our way during the season, we were hoping it was going to extend one more day, but it wasn’t to be,” said Fullarton. Queens 5, Rustlers 2 Sydney Daines showed she is more than capable of handling a busy weekend schedule. The RDC Queens freshman striker competed in a barrel racing competition on Friday night in Ponoka, then came back in time to score four goals and lead the Queens (72-1) to a 5-2 win over the Lakeland Rustlers (2-6-2) on Saturday. Celine Jensen had the other RDC goal. Leesa Eggum scored both goals for Lakeland College. “It just sometimes happens to be a good game and it was today,” said Daines. Kaitlin D’Arcy assisted on all four of Daines’ goals and picked up player of the game honours. “She put in some really good crosses today and I was the Kings player of the game with 17 kills, three aces 10 digs and a block. The RDC Queens, meanwhile, completed their sweep of the Kodiaks without dropping a set on the weekend, winning 3-0 (25-21, 25-20, 25-18) on Saturday. Kelsey Tymkow was named the Queens player of the game with nine kills and 10 digs. RDC is at Briercrest College in Caronport, Sask., next weekend.

Sydney Daines of the Red Deer College Queens chases after Sarah Downing of the Lakeland College Rustlers during ACAC soccer action at the RDC Soccer Pitch Saturday afternoon. The Queens defeated the Rustlers 5-2. just lucky enough to finish them,” said Daines. The Queens actually came out slow in the first 20 minutes and the Rustlers jumped on it with Eggum scoring to give them the early lead. But RDC Settled down after that and scored the next five goals before Eggum scored again in the final minutes close out the game. “They came out thinking it was going to be a cake walk and it was anything but,” said Colley. The win concluded the ACAC women’s soccer regular season and further cemented the Queens second seed for provincials. They finished the season two points back of the Medicine Hat College Rattlers (8-1-0) for first place. The Lethbridge Kodiaks (4-4-1) finished in third place

with 13 points, edging out the SAIT Trojans (4-4-1) in a tiebreak for the final playoff spot. Despite there not being much on the line in this game, it was important to finish strong and build some momentum. The Queens started out the season slow, but have won their last seven matches. “We have a great winning streak now and we’re high up nationally ranked (10th), and so this will bring us up higher,” said Daines. “This is a great game to bring us into playoffs next week.” The Queens now head to Edmonton for provincials hosted by NAIT (10-0-0) and will play the Grande Prairie Wolves (5-3-1) in their first game on Friday. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate. com

Giants haven’t used Cy Young winner yet in post season BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Tim Lincecum walked silently through the bustling clubhouse before Saturday’s workout and stuck his left arm straight out as he passed Jean Machi’s locker, offering a friendly fist bump to the reliever. No words necessary. Lincecum, so far an unused reliever this post-season, is doing everything he can to stay involved in the San Francisco Giants’ latest World Series run after he was such an important part of the previous two. Ask anybody, and it’s a little bit freaky not seeing The Freak on that familiar October stage. A two-time NL Cy Young Award winner relegated to the back of the bullpen. Lincecum hasn’t pitched since Sept. 28, though he has thrown warmup tosses and kept his routine to ensure he’s ready for his next chance — and manager Bruce Bochy hinted he very much expects to use the right-hander against the Royals. “I’m just trying to keep that flow in my emotional state, as well,” Lincecum said. “Just kind of stay positive and just take every day for what it is. Every day in

the playoffs is pretty special.” Even if he’s left watching and waiting for his turn. Lincecum pitched the 2010 Game 5 World Series clincher at Texas. In 2012, he moved to the bullpen for the playoffs and emerged as a reliable reliever when San Francisco won another title. After landing a new $35 million, two-year deal last October, Lincecum tossed his second no-hitter in less than a year June 25 against San Diego. He went 129 with a 4.74 ERA in 26 starts, ending a run of three straight years with a losing record. His teammates understand this can’t be easy for the guy once nicknamed “Franchise.” “I do everything I can do to encourage him on a daily basis because at some point in time (his) number could be called and it’s going to be in a big spot. It’s the World Series now,” said Jake Peavy, the Game 2 World Series starter. “We believe in Timmy Lincecum. He’s done amazing things, he’s as big-time as anybody and has had tremendous playoff starts as a starter, tremendous playoff experience out of the bullpen.” The Giants’ 10th overall draft pick in 2006 who was in the big leagues by the following May, an inconsistent Lincecum lost his rotation spot in late August and was replaced by Yusmeiro Petit.

Bentley Generals open regular season with win over Stony Plain Brett Robertson, Keenan Desmet and Kyle Bailey each sniped a pair of goals for the Bentley Generals in an 8-4 Chinook Hockey League win over the Stony Plain Eagles Sunday at Lacombe. Also scoring for the Generals in their season homeopener were Don Morrison and Scott Kalinchuk. Jordan Kolsniak scored twice for Stony Plain. The win gave the Gens a perfect 2-0 to start the season following a 5-1 Saturday victory over the host Okotoks Drillers, in which Chance Lund scored twice and Teegan Moore, Torrie Dyck and Giffen Nyren also tallied. Jesse Todd scored the lone Okotoks goal. Dustin Butler made 34 saves for the Generals, while Gerry Festa turned aside 40 shots in the Drillers net. Meanwhile, the Innisfail Eagles split their opening weekend games, falling 5-4 to the host Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs Saturday after grounding the visiting Stony Plain Eagles 7-2 the night before.

Brandt Middleton’s power-play goal with 5:05 remaining lifted the Chiefs past Innisfail. Cris Neurauter scored twice for the Eagles, who got singles from Ty Clay and Vince Connon, while Bryan Forslund, Brett Rock, Chris Giacobbo and Brett Holberg had the other Fort Saskatchewan markers. David Tetrault turned aside 31 shots for the Chiefs, who led 4-2 after two periods. Steven Stanford made 40 saves in a losing cause. On Friday, Chad Ziegler fired three goals to lead the Eagles to their home-ice win. Travis Dunstall, with a pair, Mark Bomersback and Brendan Baumgartner accounted for the other Innisfail goals, while Stanford made 32 saves. Darrek Coats and Michael Desjarlais scored for Stony Plain, which got 12 saves from Wade Waters and 21 from back-up Clayton Wilburn.

MINOR HOCKEY ROUNDUP Minor Midget AAA Justin Travis made 33 saves and the Red Deer Northstar Chiefs employed a balanced scoring attack in a 5-4 win over the host Airdrie/Cochrane Avalanche in minor midget AAA hockey action Sunday. Scoring for the winners, who held a 44-37 advantage in shots, were Tyrell McCubbing, Austin Lawson, Justin Paarup, Jeremy Klessens and McKoy Kahlert.

Keselowski stays alive in Chase NASCAR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TALLADEGA, Ala. — Brad Keselowski refused to be knocked down — not by Matt Kenseth, who jumped him from behind after a disastrous race at Charlotte, and not by garage-wide condemnation over his post-race meltdown. He kept his head up and arrived at Talladega Superspeedway determined to shake off a bad week that earned him a $50,000 fine from NASCAR and moved him to the edge of elimination in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Only a win would keep his title hopes alive. Only the toughest of drivers could tune out everything that had happened and ignore the weeklong chorus of criticism from his peers. Keselowski pulled it off Sunday with an improbable victory that moved him into the third round of the Chase. He used a push from Team Penske teammate Joey Logano on a restart in overtime, and then got last-lap coverage from, who else? Kenseth. “I know there’s probably some people out there that aren’t really happy I won. I can understand that. But I’m a man like anyone else and not real proud of last week. But I’m real proud of today,” said Keselowski, who found comedic relief in his assist from Kenseth. “It was funny how this racing world works out. I don’t know why it is that way. I don’t know why it seems like every week where there’s either a fight in the garage or a mis-

JUNIOR B HOCKEY The Red Deer Vipers outshot the visiting Okotoks Bisons 40-33 Sunday evening at the Arena but dropped a 4-3 decision. Jon Finnigan scored twice for the Vipers. Justin Corbett scored the other Red Deer goal, while Klay Munro stopped 19 of 23 shots and Lane Congdon closed out the game in the Red Deer net by stopping all 10 shots he faced. The setback was the second in succession for the Vipers, who fell 4-3 to the visiting Stettler Lightning Saturday. The Lightning got a second-period goal from DJ Kistner and third-period singles off the sticks of Mark Dietz, Ryan Strome and Scott Ternes. Jordan McCallum made 27 saves for the winners. Daniel Welch fired all three goals for the Vipers, who got a 30-save outing from Lane Congdon. ● The Blackfalds Wranglers thumped the host Three Hills Thrashers 6-2 Friday as Trent Hermary and Wally Samson each potted two goals and Jaye Sutherland and Jordan Jakubow also scored. Randy Hanger and Tom Vanderlinde replied for the hosts, who got 41 saves from the combination of Greg Pols and Brady Hoover. Thomas Isaman stopped 37 shots in the Blackfalds net. ● The Thrashers rebounded for a 3-2 shootout win over the host Ponoka Stampeders Saturday. Michael Lougheed and Cody Phillips scored regulation-time goals for the visitors, wth Kyran Karol and Nate Higgins responding for the Stamps. Pols stopped 22 saves for the win. Ponoka netminder Zane Steeves made 48 saves.

J.J. Yeley (83) wrecks on the backstretch during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Talladega Superspeedway, Sunday, in Talladega, Ala. title will be decided by finishing order in the Nov. 16 finale at Homestead. After the race, NASCAR said Newman’s car failed inspection because it was too low on both sides of the back of his Chevrolet. Penalties will likely be issued Tuesday, but that infraction typically is docked 15 points. Newman holds a 27-point lead over Kasey Kahne, who was eliminated Sunday. The much-anticipated championship battle between Team Penske and Hendrick Motorsports took a major hit. Penske got both Keselowski and Logano into the third round, but Hendrick had three

of its four drivers eliminated Sunday. Only Gordon advanced. “Great teams, great drivers, great friends. I hate to see them not in there,” Gordon said about Johnson, Earnhardt and Kahne. “I really thought the chances of two of them getting in were very good, and certainly one of them. I thought two of us would be in there, and I thought there’s a decent chance three could be there.” Hendrick and Penske drivers combined for 17 wins in the first 26 races, and have dueled all season as the top two organizations in NASCAR. “We’ll just go and try and win some races before the

year’s out,” Earnhardt said. “That all we’ve got left.” But Talladega, one of only two tracks in NASCAR that requires horsepower-sapping restrictor plates and most of the field runs in one giant pack, is a crapshoot. One slip can trigger a massive accident, and a drivers’ fate often comes down to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s what happened to Kyle Busch, who entered the race ranked second in the 12-driver field but was the fourth driver eliminated from the Chase because he was caught in an early accident. He was hit from behind, had to go to the garage for repairs and finished 40th on Sunday.

Late eagle carries Martin to first PGA Tour win BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS — Ben Martin made a 45-foot eagle putt to regain the lead and finished with a 20-foot birdie putt for a 3-under 68 and his first PGA Tour victory Sunday in the Shriners Hospital for Children Open. Martin played his final four holes at the TPC Summerlin in 4-under par, though no shot was more important than the eagle. Kevin Streelman ran off five birdies in a six-hole stretch to overtake Martin for the lead, and Streelman hit a wedge into 5 feet on the 18th hole. Martin, who led by as many as four shots on the back nine, hit a 6-iron over the water to the back of the green on the par-5 16th. His eagle putt broke back to the left over the final few feet and dropped in the cup to put Martin back in the lead. Moments later, Streelman

missed his short birdie attempt. Martin two-putted for par on the 17th, and then rolled in a birdie putt he didn’t need for a two-shot victory. The 27-yearold from South Carolina won in his 56th career start. “It was an awesome way to finish,” Martin said. “I didn’t feel like I had much going all day. Four under on my last four to cap my first win was just awesome.” Martin finished at 20-under 264 and returns to the Masters, this time as a pro. He played Augusta National in 2010 as the U.S. Amateur runner-up. Streelman set a PGA Tour record in June when he closed with seven straight birdies to win the Travelers Championship. He was headed down that path again with a string of birdies until he missed his last putt on the low side of the hole. He closed with a 65.

“I tried not to look at the leaderboard,” Streelman said. “It was kind of like Travelers. I had to make as many (birdies) as possible as quickly as possible.” Russell Knox, who played in the final group with Martin, took a double bogey on No. 9 to fall back. He made three straight birdies late in the round, and then made a tough par putt on the 18th for a 70 to finish alone in third. Defending champion Webb Simpson (68), Brooks Koepka (68) and Jimmy Walker (69) tied for fourth, four shots behind. Martin had a four-shot lead after 10 holes when he pulled his tee shot behind a tree and dropped a shot at the 11th, and Streelman began his run of his birdies. Martin finally answered with a drive that hopped onto the green at the par-4 15th that set up a two-putt birdie, and then he made good on his sec-

ond straight eagle attempt. It was a quick turnaround for Martin, who opened the PGA Tour season last week at the Frys.com Open with rounds of 78-79 to miss the cut. He took the lead in Las Vegas with a 62 in the third round to take a twoshot lead into the final round. Martin said he tried not to look at leaderboards even though “my heart was beating out of my chest.” “I tried to keep plugging along and let it happen,” he said. Streelman didn’t look at leaderboards either, although he couldn’t ignore the one behind the 18th green. He heard the cheers from the 16th green as he was lining up his birdie putt on the 18th, not realizing at the time it was Martin making eagle. “I saw I was 1 up on the 18th green, and then I saw I was 1 down,” Streelman said.

hap or something like that happens, those two cars and people end up together.” His professionalism under attack and his season slipping away, Keselowski still managed to focus on the difficult task at hand. He was in a three-way race to Victory Lane with six-time and defending champion Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., all three needing to win to stave off elimination. It was Keselowski who grabbed the checkered flag. “I’ll take the 50 grand and the win this week, wouldn’t you?” said Keselowski team owner Roger Penske. The owner and driver can just take the fine out of the winner’s check of $288,361. But Penske, winner of the IndyCar title this year with Will Power, strongly defended the driver who gave him his first career Cup title two seasons ago. “These guys are jealous of the job he’s done this year,” Penske said. “He’s won six races. He’s made poles. He’s been up front. Nobody likes to see a guy win like that. “I want him to get mad. I don’t want him to take it. We talked about it (last week). I said, ’Brad, put it in the rearview mirror.”’ Logano and Kevin Harvick, the winners of the first two races in the second round, also advanced to the third threerace round along with Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Hamlin and Kenseth. The field will be cut to four after the ninth race. Points are reset after each round and the

ZED HAUNTED HOUSE

The Zed Haunted House is back for its 24th year in Red Deer, bigger than ever. The annual fright delight is the primary fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Red Deer. “This year we have a few areas where you’ll have to make a choice, unlike anything we’ve done before,” said John Johnston, the fund development co-ordinator. “People will have to decide which way they want to go. Now they can take one route, go out and come back in and try the other route.” This year, designers are drawing from the popular Game of Thrones TV series, also known as the Song of Fire and Ice book series, and bringing in a White Walker — a type of snow zombie. Other characters making an appearance this year include the Boogeyman and the return of the Tormentor, five metres of sheer terror. It takes about 160 volunteers and several sponsors to make this event happen. The haunted house is at the north-

east entrance of Parkland Mall, at 4747 67th St. Opening day was Friday and the house is now open from 6 to 10 p.m. until Halloween night, Oct. 31. There will also be weekend matinees for children younger than 10 years of age from 1 to 4 p.m. today and Sunday, and on Oct. 25 and 26. On Oct. 24, the popular Midnight Madness returns for adults aged 18 and older from midnight to 2 a.m. Last year, the haunted house raised $100,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Red Deer as thousands of people went through the haunted house. Tickets cost $15 at the door, $12 per person for the matinee and $20 for the midnight madness. Also available is a spook pass for $20 that allows for preferred access on a specified day and the group pass, for groups of 10 people or more, at $12 per person. Group passes can be purchased at the youth and volunteer centre, at 4633 49th St. For more information, visit www. zedhauntedhouse.com.

BRIEF Freedom of the City parade set for Saturday Red Deer’s own reserve unit the 41 Signal Regiment will be honoured with a Freedom of the City parade later this week. A tradition dating back to the Middle Ages, many towns were fortified and the army was generally not allowed into the city. If the army proved its service to the city, the mayor would allow the unit to march through the city with their weapons and banners and stay within the city walls. According to a release from the 41 Signal Regiment, this is a great honour and an acknowledgement of the service it provides. The reserve signal unit has been in Red Deer since 1974 and soldiers from Red Deer and Central Alberta have observed in both domestic and foreign operations. Some deployments include the Golan Heights at the Syria-Israeli border, the Iran-Iraq War as observers, the Balkans, Sudan and Afghanistan. Domestically, the unit has been involved in preparing for the Y2K threat, support during the Van-

couver Olympics, the ice storms in Ontario and Quebec, flooding in Manitoba, fighting forest fires in B.C. and, most recently, providing support during the Southern Alberta floods. The Freedom of the City parade starts on Saturday at noon at Red Deer City Hall, 4914 48th Ave. The unit will march through downtown past the cenotaph on Ross Street and back to the Cormack Armoury, 4402 55th St. After the parade, the public is invited into the armoury from 2 to 5 p.m. where displays will highlight the regiment’s capabilities and people can talk with members of the unit.

Human trafficking the topic for women’s event at Deer Park Alliance Church A women’s event focused on the topic of human trafficking will be held on Wednesday at Deer Park Alliance Church (at 2960 39th St.) in Red Deer. There will be a presentation from Magdalene House in Red Deer and Servants Anonymous in Calgary. There will also be jewelry sales at the event, and a free will offering will be held for Magdalene House. Refreshments will be served. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. Magdalene House Society is a charitable organization that provides a safe environment for the full recovery of persons exploited through human traf-

ficking. According to the United Nations, human trafficking is trafficking in persons for the purpose of exploitation, including, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.

Great Kid Awards accepting nominations Anyone who knows a kid aged five to 18 who deserves to be recognized for their determination, generosity and compassion has a chance to nominate them for the 2015 Great Kid Awards. Sixteen award winners will be honoured with their prize at the 15th Annual Great Kids Awards in Edmonton next year. The winners along with their families will enjoy a night’s stay at the Fantasyland Hotel and passes to West Edmonton Mall attractions. Human Services Minister Heather Klimchuk encourages Albertans to nominate a remarkable child or youth to inspire them to continue their efforts. “We need to celebrate Alberta’s children and youth for doing great things every day — at home, at school and in their communities,” she said. Award winners will receive a trophy from the government and a prize donated by a corporate sponsor.

C2 Crude price drop top of mind

MONDAY, OCT. 20, 2014

OILPATCH REPORTING SEASON BEGINS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The recent rout in oil prices will likely be top of mind for investors as Canada’s top oilpatch players release their third-quarter results over the next few weeks. The steep drop in the key U.S. benchmark crude — to about US$80 a barrel from around US$95 just a month ago — won’t be evident in companies’ financial reports for the quarter ended Sept. 30. But analysts and investors will be paying keen attention to the mood of top brass on quarterly conference calls and looking for signals about how oil market volatility may affect future plans, said Lanny Pendill, an analyst with Edward Jones in St. Louis, Mo. Right now, oil and gas producers are hammering out their budgets for 2015. “As a whole, we’re probably at the price point where I think many of the companies are going to approach the budget season with a little more caution,” he said. “Just the tone and the overall impression that they leave with us ... I think will be key. So we will certainly be focusing on the go-forward comments more than anything.” Projects under construction in northern Alberta should be in good shape, but prospects are less certain for some that haven’t yet received a

final board arrpoval, said Pendill. In recent months, Canadian units of France’s Total and Norway’s Statoil have opted not to proceed with their Joslyn and Corner oilsands projects, respectively. Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX:CVE), one of Canada’s top oilsands producers, will be reporting on Thursday. That company has developed a reputation as being one of the lowest-cost producers in the industry, and Pendill expects it to continue to thrive in the current oil price environment. Supply costs for its projects range between US$35 and US$65 a barrel, meaning even its most pricey projects can generate a decent profit. Cenovus extracts bitumen using steam-assisted gravity drainage, or SAGD, technology. Steam is pumped underground through a well, where it softens the tarry bitumen enough that it can be drawn to the surface through a second pipe. Steam-driven, or in-situ, projects are generally much more cost effective than the more traditional surface mining operations. Since most of the remaining oilsands resource in northern Alberta is too deep to be mined, most future projects will employ insitu techniques. Husky Energy Inc. (TSX:HSE), also on deck to report Thursday, is close to starting the first phase of its Sunrise

SAGD project, part of a partnership with BP. The company has signalled that costs would be higher than its most recent estimate of C$2.7 billion, but hasn’t yet said by how much. Oilsands producers learned some hard lessons during the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, said Pendill. The oilpatch saw a spate of high-profile project deferrals as crude prices cratered to levels that were at times less than half of what they are today. Those companies have since done a better job managing their debt. They’ve also become reluctant to undertake multibillion-dollar megaprojects. Instead, companies like Cenovus and Suncor Energy Inc. (TSX:SU) are building SAGD projects in bite-sized increments, essentially copying and pasting the design with each new phase. Miners, like Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX:CNQ) and Suncor, are boosting output through “debottlenecking” — squeezing more crude out of existing projects by tweaking equipment, rather than building something new from scratch. Oilsands projects, many operated by deep-pocketed multinational giants, are planned with a time horizon of 50 years or more in mind, said Sonny Mottahed, CEO and managing partner at Black Spruce Merchant Capital in Calgary.

The industry pays attention to the long-term supply-demand trends in oil prices, not the reactions of traders on any given day, he said. “Generally speaking, I don’t think that there’s anybody out there that believes that there is a true fundamental reason for the sell-off in the commodity,” he said. It’s a gloomier story for smaller firms elsewhere in the oilpatch, said Mottahed. Lower prices are going to hit cash flow, which is bad news for companies that need to recycle capital back into their business quickly in order to keep drilling. Oilsands producers have been cushioned from the crude price plunge on a couple of fronts. Currency fluctuations have been to the benefit of Canada’s oilpatch, as the loonie has weakened against the U.S. dollar. And the price gap between heavy and light oil has narrowed as more Canadian heavy crude has been able to find its way to market by pipeline, rail and even tanker, Scotiabank commodity market specialist Patricia Mohr noted in a report last week. While U.S. light oil production surges from shale deposits in Texas and North Dakota, the country’s imports of heavier crudes continues to climb, Mohr wrote in her latest Commodity Price Index.

BRIEF Ukraine’s president says Russia has agreed to supply natural gas for the winter KIEV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian president says his country has reached an agreement with Russia on supplies of natural gas for the winter. When Russia cut off gas supplies to Ukraine in June over unpaid bills, it risked leaving not only Ukraine without heat in the winter, but that Russia could also cut off flows to Europe if Ukraine began siphoning off gas from the pipelines crossing its territory. President Petro Poroshenko said in a television interview late Saturday that an agreement has been reached for Russia to supply Ukraine with gas through March at a price of $385 per 1,000 cubic meters. Poroshenko said he expected the deal to be signed during the next round of European Union-mediated gas talks, to be held Tuesday in Brussels.

Tips for living well to 100 If, as recent studies show, Canadians are living longer, what are some of the key things they’ll need to know to make their longevity more comfortable and fruitful? The facts are clear that Canadians are living longer. A recent study on longevity by the office of the chief actuary of Canada predicts the country will continue to have one of the highest life expectancies of the world, along TALBOT with Japan, BOGGS France, Switzerland, Italy and Australia. Life expectancies at birth of Canadians are projected to increase from 86 to 90 for men and from 89 to 93 for women over the period of 2013 to 2075. Currently, five out of 10 Canadians

MONEYWISE

aged 20 are expected to reach age 90 and one out of 10 is expected to live to 100. Statistics Canada reports that 5.3 million people in Canada today, or about 15.3 per cent of the population, are 65 or older. By 2061, there is expected to be more than 78,000 centenarians living in Canada. A recent report by BMO Financial Group concluded there are four main areas of their lives that people must consider in order to age well. “It is essential that Canadians take a holistic approach and develop a comprehensive strategy that will help them maintain or improve their health and well-being, personal life and finances as they age,” said Chris Buttigieg, senior manager, wealth planning strategy with BMO Financial Group. “It’s important to evaluate both your physical and your mental status so you can identify what changes in your lifestyle are required to mitigate longevity risk. Ensuring that your finances are in order and that you have a strong social network in place are key to living and long and happy life.”

Financial security and the accumulation of assets become increasing important as we age. A major element of financial security is making sure that future health care costs are factored into people’s retirement savings. The BMO report found that almost three quarters of Canadians believe that health and medical costs will have the biggest impact on their senior years and they expect to spend an average of $5,391 a year on out-of-pocket medical costs after the age of 65. “Looking to the future means looking at your retirement income needs and retirement lifestyle goals,” said Buttigieg. “Since regular employment income won’t be part of the equation, it’s critical to speak with a financial professional who will work with you to develop a financial plan and help you identify what you need to do to sustain financial security in your golden years.” One of the best ways to help reduce medical costs is to maintain good health through a good diet, exercise and regular visits to the doctor.

Participating in social activities also plays an important role in longevity. The report found that 66 per cent of Canadians plan to spend more time on hobbies while only a quarter plan to start a new part-time job and 19 per cent plan to learn a new language. Staying in touch with family and having a support network are the most important factors in enjoying an ideal lifestyle in old age, followed by being financially secure and having fun and doing enjoyable activities. Pursuing a part-time job is one way to bring in some extra income while increasing social interaction. Mental alertness is crucial to living well. Losing mental abilities is the greatest concern that Canadian have about living to 100, followed by relying on others to take care of them and losing loved ones.

BUSINESS ASKS GOVERNMENT TO ENLIST WHIZ KIDS TO END DELAYS WASHINGTON — Frustrated by costly delays at the Canada-U.S. border, the business community is urging governments to seek solutions from private-sector whiz kids. The national governments are being pressed to adopt a model popularized by high-tech startups during the original dot.com boom in the 1990s: gather a bunch of software engineers in one room, give them a problem to solve, and promise a prize. They call it a hackathon. Leading business groups are requesting that kind of hackathon for the border, unsatisfied by the pace of progress following years of government efforts to reduce wait times. It’s been raised repeatedly lately with public officials by the Canadian American Business Council, which counts six dozen companies and an advisory board that includes the two countries’ ambassadors to each other. The group’s Maryscott Greenwood took it up after meeting with White House officials this summer, when they explained how the hackathon model had been used in U.S. disaster preparedness. She suggested that kind of approach might help the Beyond the Border program, the delay-fighting initiative announced by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama in 2011. “The vision is three years old. There’s been some progress made on it. But industry is really impatient about the pace of the progress,” said Greenwood, senior adviser to the business council. “So the idea here really is, ’How do we get some more accomplishments under our belt? How do we force some faster progress?”’ She brought it up again at a binational border conference in Ottawa last month, a regulatory co-operation meeting in Washington this month, and in conversations with cabinet ministers — U.S. Homeland Security boss Jeh Johnson, and Canada’s Industry Minister James Moore. One official at the Privy Council Office wouldn’t announce whether the idea was under consideration; he only said there would be recommendations made to the countries’ leaders later this year as part of the governments’ Beyond the Border Action Plan implementation plan. It’s not like the idea would be revolutionary. Governments in both countries have already begun using the startup-culture approach to solving

problems. Even this week in Ottawa, some high-profile tech firms will be at a Tuesday event on Parliament Hill, attended by Treasury Board President Tony Clement and U.S. ambassador Bruce Heyman, where they’ll chat about common problems — including access to capital, intellectual-property rights, regulatory harmonization and updating NAFTA’s job categories. The U.S. government has enthusiastically taken up the hackathon model since the hurricane Sandy disaster. The White House convened one such event and announced more than 30 disaster-response ideas, inspired by problems people had encountered during the 2012 storm on the East Coast. Ideas included Google opening its Crisis Map to crowdsourcing — so the public might share emergency information, like which gas stations still have fuel. The home-rental app Airbnb also launched a project, aimed at pre-identifying homes that could shelter displaced people and emergency workers during a crisis. Then the disastrous rollout of the Obamacare health-exchange website last fall only bolstered the U.S. administration’s determination to modernize its procurement procedures. The idea of a prize for improving the border came from someone at the powerful U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who told Greenwood how rewards had been used elsewhere to attract participants. Adam Schlosser is the director of the lobby group’s centre for global regulatory co-operation and, through that, is involved in Canada-U.S. trade files. He also happens to work on digital trade — which has exposed him to plenty of innovative projects around the world involving the high-tech sector and governments, including in Mexico, Chile, Vietnam and Indonesia. “Say, (for example), how do you get water to different citizens of a developing country, to make sure the water’s safe?” Schlosser said, offering one problem a hack-a-thon might tackle. “Put 30 engineers in a room. Say, ’solve it.’ Give them a day or two, and give them a prize.” He said that approach offers twin benefits: One, government money winds up going to the most innovative companies. And, at the same time, a domestic-policy challenge might get solved. The challenge at the Canada-U.S. border involves delays worsened by post 9-11 security measures, which slowed down the movement of goods and people.

Markets in for further swings

Russian container ship towed away from Canadian coast after drifting again in rough seas BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. — A large tug boat was pulling a disabled Russian cargo ship along British Columbia’s coast, ending fears that the vessel carrying hundreds of tons of fuel would drift ashore, hit rocks and spill. Lt. Paul Pendergast of the Canadian Forces’ Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre said the Barbara Foss arrived Saturday evening and the tow of the Simushir was going well. Pendergast said authorities will wait until the Simushir is comfortably north of Haida Gwaii before they make a decision on where it will be towed. Prince Rupert is the nearest container ship port, 93 nautical miles away. The Simushir lost power late Thursday off Haida Gwaii, also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands, as it made its way from Everett in Washington state to Russia. The Coast Guard ship Gordon Reid earlier towed the disabled ship away from shore, but a towline got detached and the ship was adrift again for six hours Saturday. The 10 crew members were trying to repair the broken oil heater that has left the vessel disabled, Royal Canadian Navy Lt. Greg Menzies said. The fear of oil spills is especially acute in British Columbia, where residents remember the Exxon Valdez disaster of 1989. Such worries have fed fierce opposition — particularly from environmentalists and Canada’s native tribes — to a proposal to build a pipeline that would carry oil from Canada’s Alberta oil sands to a terminal in Kitimat, British Columbia, for shipment to Asia. Opponents say the proposed pipeline would bring about 220 large oil tankers a year to the province’s coast. The president of the Council of the Haida Nation warned Friday that a storm coming into the area was expected to push the ship onto the rocky shore, but President Pete Lantin later said their worst fears had subsided. “If the weather picks up it could compromise that, but as of right now there is a little sense of relief that we might have averted catastrophe here,”

A Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft flies near a Russian container ship, shown in this handout image, carrying hundreds of tonnes of fuel was drifting without power in rough seas off British Columbia’s northern coast on Friday. Lantin said. About 5,000 people live on the islands and fish for food nearby, Lantin said. The Simushir, which is about 440 feet (135 metres) long, was carrying a range of hydrocarbons, mining materials and other related chemicals. That included 400 tons of bunker oil and 50 tons of diesel. The vessel is not a tanker but rather a container ship. In comparison, the tanker Exxon Valdez, spilled 35,000 metric tons of oil. A spokesman for Russian shipping firm SASCO, the owners of the vessel, said it is carrying 298 containers of mining equipmentin addition to heavy bunker fuel as well as diesel oil for the voyage. The U.S. Coast Guard had a helicopter on standby in the event that the crew members need to be pulled off the ship.

STOCK MARKET LOOK AHEAD

TORONTO — Stock markets are likely in for more volatility this week as traders wonder if sharp gains at the end of last week signal an end to what would be a relatively mild retracement — defined as a temporary reversal in the direction of a stock’s price that goes against the prevailing trend — or a full blown correction. That sort of downdraft carves at least 10 per cent from market highs. “Neither we nor anyone else knows exactly how deep (the declines) will run, (or) how long it will take,” said David Wolf, portfolio manager at Fidelity Investments. “What we do know is that this has happened before in markets, it will happen again in markets and in the meantime, the key message is don’t panic.” The TSX ended last week with two back-to-back triple-digit advances for a flat performance on the week after six straight weeks of losses, while the Dow industrials declined one per cent, adding to five weeks of losses. North American markets have nosedived since hitting recent highs in September on worries that the U.S. economy was the only bright spot in an otherwise grim global economy and that European powerhouse Germany could slip into recession. Uncertainties also persist over the impending end of the Federal Reserve’s key stimulus program of massive bond purchases.

energy sector, were looking stretched. “Corrections are part of the normal market environment,” Wolf said. “It’s quite understandable that they elicit a fearful, even panicky reaction among many which often leads to a three or four per cent drop turning into a six, eight, 10 per cent drop. But from our lens, unlike say in 2008 . . . in this case the global economy isn’t doing great but it’s still growing, led by the U.S.” Wolf is optimistic and thinks his view will be borne out when thirdquarter U.S. gross domestic product data is released next week. He thinks GDP could rise at an annualized pace of about three per cent. “Not bad. That comes after a reasonably strong second quarter, (but) you have other parts of the world frankly not looking so hot,” he added. One major bit of fallout from the sharp market losses has been that the slew of corporate earnings in the U.S. over the last couple of weeks has failed to move markets one way or another. “Most people haven’t been focused on that,” said Wolf. “I think the lack of reaction to earnings . . . is very emblematic of sentiment in the market. “(Bad news) will eventually run its course and there’s enough good news out there, at least in our opinion, that it will eventually gain the upper hand again.”

UN admits WHO fumbled response to Ebola largely because of its Africa office. “It’s the regional office in Africa that’s the front line,” he said at his office in London. “And they didn’t do anything. That office is really not competent.” WHO’s other regional directors — the Americas, Southeast Asia, Europe, Eastern Mediterranean and the Western Pacific — are also not accountable to Geneva and are all elected by their regions. Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, also questioned why it took WHO five months and 1,000 deaths before the agency declared Ebola an international health emergency in August. “I called for a state of emergency to be declared in July and for military operations to be deployed,” Piot said. But he said WHO might have been scarred by its experience during the 2009 swine flu pandemic, when it was slammed for hyping the situation. In late April, during a teleconference on Ebola among infectious disease experts that included WHO officials, Doctors Without Borders and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, questions were raised about the performance of WHO experts, as not all of them bothered to send Ebola reports to WHO headquarters, according to the draft document. In the timeline, WHO said it was “particularly alarming” that the head of its Guinea office refused to help get visas for an expert Ebola team to come in and that $500,000 in aid was being blocked by administrative hurdles. Guinea, along with Sierra Leone and Liberia, is one of the hardest-hit nations in the current outbreak, with 862 deaths so far blamed on Ebola. The Ebola outbreak already has killed 4,546 people in West Africa out of at least 9,191 cases. WHO says within two months, there could be new 10,000

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — In a draft document, the World Health Organization has acknowledged that it botched attempts to stop the now-spiraling Ebola outbreak in West Africa, blaming factors including incompetent staff and a lack of information. In the document obtained by The Associated Press, the agency wrote that experts should have realized that traditional infectious disease containment methods wouldn’t work in a region with porous borders and broken health systems. “Nearly everyone involved in the outbreak response failed to see some fairly plain writing on the wall,” WHO said in the document. “A perfect storm was brewing, ready to burst open in full force.” The U.N. health agency acknowledged that, at times, even its own bureaucracy was a problem. It noted that the heads of WHO country offices in Africa are “politically motivated appointments” made by the WHO regional director for Africa, Dr. Luis Sambo, who does not answer to the agency’s chief in Geneva, Dr. Margaret Chan. WHO is the U.N.’s specialized health agency, responsible for setting global health standards and co-ordinating the global response to disease outbreaks. The document — a timeline on the Ebola outbreak — was not issued publicly but the AP was told the health agency would be releasing it earlier this week. However, WHO officials said in an email Friday that the timeline would now probably not be released publicly. No official at the agency would comment Friday on the draft report. Dr. Peter Piot, the co-discoverer of the Ebola virus, agreed in an interview Friday that WHO acted far too slowly,

page letter from the agency’s network of experts, spelling out what they saw as severe shortcomings in WHO’s response to the deadly virus. “This (was) the first news of this sort to reach her,” WHO said in the draft document. “She is shocked.” In the following weeks, the WHO country office heads in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone were all replaced. Other experts said it was impossible to predict that the initial Ebola cases in Guinea would spark the biggest-ever outbreak of the lethal disease. “There were a lot of mistakes made by WHO but a lot of the best public health minds would have thought we could handle this in July,” said Michael Osterholm, an infectious diseases expert at the University of Minnesota. “By the time we realized how bad things were, the genie was already out of the bottle,” he said.

cases of Ebola every week unless stronger measures to fight the outbreak are put into place. When Doctors Without Borders began warning in April that the Ebola outbreak was out of control, a dispute on social media broke out between the charity and a WHO spokesman who insisted the outbreak was under control. At a meeting of WHO’s network of outbreak experts in June, Dr. Bruce Aylward, normally in charge of polio eradication, alerted Chan about the serious concerns being raised about WHO’s leadership in West Africa. He wrote an email that some of the agency’s partners — including national health agencies and charities — believed the U.N. agency was “compromising rather than aiding” the response to Ebola and that “none of the news about WHO’s performance is good.” Five days later, Chan received a six-

Midgley launching travel memoir Friday Edmonton-based writer Peter Midgley will launch his new travel memoir on Friday at Sunworks in Red Deer. The Namibia-born writer returned to his African homeland with his 19-year-old daughter and set out visiting town museums, gravesites and checkpoints to piece together the country’s complicated history, as well as his own personal history. Stories about early Portuguese explorers and the first genocide of the 20th century were collected, and eventually recounted in Midgley’s book, Counting Teeth: A Namibian Story, published by a small literary press in Hamilton. For him, the trip was a homecoming. For his daughter, Sinead, it was the discovery of a new land and ancestral home. The author will speak about his travel memoir and sign copies of it at 7 p.m. in the Coconut Room, upstairs at Sunworks.

Fury blows away Gone Girl to top weekend box office WORLD WAR II DRAMA TAKES IN $23.5M BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — The bloody World War II drama Fury blew past Gone Girl at theatres this weekend. Gone Girl was tops at the box office for two weeks before Brad Pitt and his rag-tag group of tank mates in Fury blasted the film to second place. Sony’s Fury captured $23.5 million in ticket sales during its opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Fox’s Gone Girl followed with $17.8 million. The week’s top two films are R-rated adult dramas, followed by two PG family films. “The fall movie season is all about making the transition from PG-13 world of summer to the R-rated, edgier world of the fall and awards season,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. The animated Fox feature The Book of Life opened in third place with $17 million, followed by Disney’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day with $12 million. “We’re now in full adult movie-going season and we’ll see a lot more adult-skewing fare,” said Fox distribu-

tion chief Chris Aronson, who added that the colorful Book of Life suits any audience. Another new film rounds out the top five: Relativity’s Nicholas Sparks romance The Best of Me, starring Michelle Monaghan and James Marsden, debuted with $10.2 million. Birdman, the Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu drama starring Michael Keaton, opened in just four theatres and boasted a per-screen average of $103, 750. It opens in additional locations next week. Overall box office is up almost 25 per cent from the same weekend last year, Dergarabedian said, and the strong fall showing at cinemas is making up for a year-to-date box-office deficit that dropped from 6 per cent to 4 per cent in the last month.

Our son broke his back and neck in a freak accident. He has fully recovered, but now is addicted to pain medication. He has no job and no insurance. Is there any way to get him the help he needs to be a functioning adult again? He would give anything to be better, but can’t afford the treatment. — Desperately Concerned Mom Dear Mom: This must be a terribly difficult situation for everyone, but the fact that your son wants to get better is encouraging. Please look into state-funded drug and alcohol rehab centers through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration at findtreatment.samhsa.gov, or call their treatment referral line at 1-800-662-HELP. We’ll be thinking of you. Dear Annie: “Best Friend in Trouble” was pretty sure her best friend’s husband was cheating on her with his sister-in-law. She asked whether she should tell her friend. I say, “YES!” I wish someone had told me when my husband was cheating. At a com-

pany holiday party, I actually sat next to the woman my husband was having an affair with. Probably everyone in the room knew except me. One of my good friends discovered his wife was cheating when he contracted an STD. Another found out when his wife became pregnant. He’d had a vasectomy. I’ve known a few people who have cheated, and let me tell you, if they don’t get caught, they keep right on doing it. After I realized my husband was seeing another woman, I learned that my own sister knew he was cheating and didn’t tell me. I could never forgive her for keeping it a secret. I wish I had known sooner. “Best Friend” should tell her friend what she knows and then let the wife decide what she wants to do about it. — Still Smarting Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Canadians plan to do more holiday shopping online this year: poll BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canadian consumers have been shopping online more frequently this year and plan to hit the web for more of their gift buying this December, suggests a recent survey. According to an online poll of 1,000 Canadians conducted by Solutions Research Group in August, two thirds of the respondents said they had made an online purchase in the past month, which was up about 10 per cent compared to the results of a similar survey last year. Almost half of the Canadians who had shopped online in the past month were in the 30 to 49 age range and 40 per cent were from Ontario. When asked what their top online shopping destinations were, Amazon was the most popular response, followed by eBay, Walmart, Indigo, Best Buy, Sears, Old Navy, Future Shop, Costco and Beyond the Rack. About 33 per cent of the Canadians polled said they wouldn’t do any online shopping this holiday season, which was down five percentage points compared to last year.Around 25 per cent said they would do most of their

The polling industry’s professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error as they are not a random sample and therefore are not necessarily representative of the whole population.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CANBERRA, Australia — Australia’s Parliament House on Monday lifted a short-lived ban on facial coverings including burqas and niqabs after the prime minister intervened. The government department that runs Parliament House announced earlier this month that “persons with facial coverings” would no longer be allowed in the open public galleries of the House of Representatives or the Senate. Instead, they were to be directed to galleries usually reserved for noisy schoolchildren, where they could sit behind sound-proof glass. The Oct. 2 announcement was made a few hours before the end of the final sitting day of Parliament’s last two-week session and had no practical effect. Hours before Parliament was to resume on Monday, the Department of Parliamentary Services, or DPS, said in a statement that people wearing face coverings would again be allowed in all public areas of Parliament House. It said face coverings would have to be removed temporarily at the security check point at the front door so that staff could “identify any person who may have been banned from entering Parliament House or who may be known, or discovered, to be a security risk.” “Procedures are still in place to ensure that DPS security manage these procedures in a sensitive and appropriate manner,” the statement said without elaborating. The ban on face veils in the public galleries had been widely condemned as a segregation of Muslim women and a potential breach of federal anti-discrimination laws. Prime Minister Tony Abbott later revealed that he had not been notified in advance that the ban was planned and had asked House Speaker Bronwyn Bishop to “rethink that decision.” The restriction had been authorized by Bishop, who has campaigned for a ban on Muslim head scarves in government schools, as well as Senate President Stephen Parry. The controversy came as the government attempts to assure Australia’s Muslim minority that tough new counterterrorism laws and police raids on terror suspects’ homes in recent months were directed at countering criminal activity, not any particular religion. The opposition welcomed the overturning of what it described as a “burqa ban,” and demanded an explanation for why it had been introduced in the first place. “In 2014 for two weeks, the official policy of the Australian Parliament was to practice segregation and we need to ensure this does not happen again,” senior opposition lawmaker Tony Burke said in a statement. Security has increased at Parliament House since the government stepped up its terror warning to the second-highest level on a four-tier scale last month in response to the domestic threat posed by supporters of the Islamic State group. Australia is participating in the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State militants, with its warplanes flying combat missions in northern Iraq and special forces preparing to deploy in Iraq to help train Iraqi security forces. Abbott on Monday was in Jakarta, the capital of the

Cruise ship carrying health care worker being monitored for Ebola returns to Texas BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GALVESTON, Texas — A cruise ship carrying a Dallas health care worker who was being monitored for Ebola returned to port Sunday after an eventful seven-day trip in which passengers had their vacations briefly disrupted with an infectious disease scare. A lab supervisor who handled a specimen from a Liberian man who died from Ebola at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas showed no symptoms during the cruise but self-quarantined out of caution. Carnival Cruise Lines said it was informed by health authorities Sunday morning that she tested negative for Ebola. Vicky Rey, vice-president of guest care for Carnival Cruise Lines, said the woman and her husband drove themselves home after arriving in Galveston. The Ebola scare added some drama to the trip for the more than 4,000 passengers on the ship. They learned through a public address system announcement that one of the passengers was being monitored for Ebola. They watched developments about the Ebola outbreak and their ship on the news. The boat was not allowed to dock in Cozumel, depriving passengers of one of the top port destinations. Travelers snapped pictures of a Coast Guard

helicopter as it landed to get a blood sample from the passenger. “We weren’t worried. We ended up just hanging out and enjoying the rest of the trip,” said Meredith Brooks, a Houston banker who was on her honeymoon during the cruise. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that when the woman left the U.S. on the cruise ship from Galveston, Texas, on Oct. 12 health officials were requiring only self-monitoring. Officials stepped up their response while the cruise was underway and two nurses at the Dallas hospital were diagnosed with Ebola. Carnival Cruise Lines said the woman was “not deemed to be a risk to any guests or crew” and that it was in close consultation with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Petty Officer Andy Kendrick told The Associated Press that a Coast Guard crew flew in a helicopter Saturday to meet the Carnival Magic and retrieved a blood sample from the woman. He said the blood sample was taken to a state lab in Austin for processing. The ship was refused clearance to dock in Cozumel, Mexico on Friday, a day after Belize refused to let the passenger leave the vessel to be flown home. There were no restrictions placed on other passengers aboard the ship, officials said.

BRIEF Kenya military spokesman: Soldiers kill 5 terrorists, recover car bomb and 6 suicide vests NAIROBI, Kenya — A Kenyan military spokesman says Kenyan soldiers stopped a terror attack by killing five suspected Islamic extremist bombers attempting to cross into Kenya from Ethiopia in a car carrying explosives and six suicide vests. Bogita Ongeri said Sunday authorities recovered 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of TNT from the vehicle which was intercepted at Dolo along Kenya’s border with Ethiopia on Saturday. Ongeri said security forces had been tracking the car which had Kenyan registration and were aware that the suspected terrorists had unsuccessfully tried to gain entry into Kenya at another border point. He said the five suspects killed are members of the Somali militant group al-Shabab, which is allied to al-Qaida. Al-Shabab carries out terrorist bombings in Kenya because Kenyan troops are in Somalia fighting the militants.

Mozambique: Opposition leaders reject early results which give lead to ruling Frelimo party MAPUTO, Mozambique — The leaders of Mozambique’s opposition parties said Sunday they reject early results which show victory for the ruling Frelimo party. The ruling Frelimo party’s candidate, Filipe Nyusi, leads by 62 per cent of the votes counted so far, while the opposition party Renamo has just under a third of the votes counted and the Mozambique Democratic Movement has just over 10 per cent. Vote counting is still underway. Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama, however, believes that he is the legitimate winner of the southeast African nation’s election that took place on Wednesday, 15 Oct. Dhlakama says he is willing to negotiate with Frelimo and has suggested a government of national unity, similar to that used in Kenya after post-election violence in 2009. Renamo has alleged irregularities in four of Mozambique’s 10 provinces. The Commonwealth Observer Mission endorsed the elections as free and fair, but advised Renamo to file a formal complaint. “This cannot be treated technically. We must negotiate an outcome,” said Dhlakama who said a government of national unity would prevent violence. An agreement earlier this year ended a resurgence of sporadic violence between Renamo and Frelimo supporters. The two parties fought a brutal civil war for nearly 16 years until a peace accord brought democracy to the country in 1992. The Mozambique Democratic Movement, formed in 2009, said it would maintain peace while pursuing legal objections to the provisional result.
