Hometown Hockey hits Red Deer

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL CITY DIVISION FINAL

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF It would have been difficult to get through the weekend in Red Deer without sensing even just a little of the hockeyism that hit town. Rogers Hometown Hockey — a mini hockey festival full of celebrities, activities, contests and seemingly endless giveaways — took centre ice on Saturday and Sunday, focusing on all things hockey with a special Red Deer flavour. FOR MORE HOMETOWN It concluded with HOCKEY PHOTOS SEE PAGE C1 locally grown sportscaster Ron MacLean broadcasting live from the Red Deer Arena during the Calgary Flames versus Montreal Canadians National Hockey League game on Sunday night. MacLean and his wife Cari are originally from Red Deer where he began his career in the industry as a night disc jockey in 1978 and went on to host CBC’s Hockey Night In Canada for 26 years. He is now host of Rogers’ new Sunday night NHL hockey broadcast. During the show Sunday, features aired on Calgary Flames defenceman Kris Russell, who was born in Red Deer and grew up in Caroline, and on the Sutters, primarily Darryl Sutter, coach of the LA Kings and one-time Red Deer Rustlers player, and his son Christopher, who has Down Syndrome. All six members of the famous Sutter hockey family played for the Rustlers before eventually making their way to the NHL. Hometown Hockey is touring 25 communities this NHL season, with Red Deer being the fourth stop on a long road that includes three communities MacLean has never visited — Fort McMurray, Prince George, B.C., and Brandon, Man. The hockey festival, geared toward being a family event, included among many things, a meet and greet with several NHL alumni such as Darcy Tucker (originally from just down the road, Castor), a hockey skills competition, street hockey, cheering contest and local entertainment. MacLean, 54, said Rogers Hometown Hockey will cover 29,000 kms, going to communities that have produced a total 634 NHL players between them. “Which is neat.” MacLean, along with his wife Cari also happened to be Red Deer’s honorary chairpersons for the 2019 Canada Winter Games Bid Committee. The games were recently awarded to Red Deer. Hometown Hockey is broadcast from a mobile studio. “That’s made it a little bit challenging because we can’t get an instant feed as we call it ... so we’re not seeing what’s happening on television live,” said MacLean.

Joe Anglin to sit as an independent BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The Wildrose caucus was one member smaller on Sunday following the announcement from RimbeyRocky Mountain House-Sundre MLA Joe Anglin that he was leaving the party to sit as an independent. Anglin lost his local nomination race in July, and he accuses the party in a Facebook statement of “poor management and infighting.” He says in the statement that his decision to leave the Wildrose caucus came right before Smith was to present a motion to kick him out. “It is no secret that I have been a round peg in a square hole in the Wildrose Party. I speak my mind. I bring different experiences and a different point of view to the caucus than my colleagues,” Anglin said in the statement. “This party was founded on the principles of a grassroots democracy. It is now infested with an unelected backroom weed that is choking off the grassroots movement.” Wildrose leader Danielle Smith said in a statement that she accepted Anglin’s resignation. “On behalf of my Wildrose caucus colleagues, I thank Mr. Anglin for his service to Albertans,” Smith said. Anglin has represented the riding since 2012. His departure from Wildrose leaves the Opposition party

with 16 seats in the Alberta legislature. Anglin’s resignation wasn’t the only party news on Sunday. Wildrose legislature members unanimously endorsed a resolution calling for the withdrawl of leader Smith’s request for a leadership review. Smith put her leadership on the line in the wake of four byelection losses last week, asking that a review be on the agenda when the party holds its annual general meeting in Red Deer later this month. A news release from the party on Sunday states the request to withdraw the leadership review will now go to the party executive for consideration. Smith says in the release that she is “humbled and honoured” to have the unanimous support of her caucus colleagues. Following the byelection losses for Wildrose last week — three in Calgary and one in Edmonton — Smith said she had to take responsibility for the result. Even though she said she wouldn’t have to face a review until after the next general election, she said it was important for her to know she had the support of her members. The party said in the news release that the motion calling for the withdrawl of the request for the leadership review was debated and voted on without Smith present.

United Way of Central Alberta remains hush on the amount of money it wants to raise for its 2014 fundraising campaign and on how much its raised so far. When the community agency held its annual fundraising campaign kickoff in September, it purposely did not set a specific dollar amount as its goal. “We really want to get people thinking about us being a community impact organization, not just a fundraiser,” said United Way CEO Robert Mitchell on Friday. “There certainly hasn’t been any backlash. There hasn’t been much discussion around the goal at all.” The only dollar figure announced so far was at the September launch when guests to the luncheon heard $231,000 had already been donated to the 2014 United Way campaign.

Mitchell said eliminating goals is a bit of a trend. Some United Way organizations don’t set a goal and haven’t for a few years. The United Way may make announcements when it hits $1 million or $2 million, he said. The 2013 campaign surpassed $2.2 million, a first for the United Way of Central Alberta. Some Central Alberta companies have already started their annual workplace campaigns to raise money for the United Way. More are starting in November. “We’re pleased with the progress.” Mitchell said there’s also been a lot of buzz around the Leadership Matching Challenge. Any donations that are $1,000 or more are matched dollar-for-dollar until the matching challenge fund is depleted. This year, leadership matching sponsors have committed to match $37,500.

HOCKEY: Important second In the case of London, Ont., and Saskatoon, for example, they were getting the feed on one-second delay. “That’s an important second when you’re trying to voice over a highlight or describe an individual.” “You know, if I say there’s Al Ferchuk (former coach of the Red Deer College Kings) now on your left but actually Al Ferchuk was on your left a little bit earlier than what I’m saying, that’s challenging.” MacLean, who has now been in Red Deer six times this year for a variety of occasions (normally they get here once or twice a year), admits the Hometown Hockey travel schedule is an adjustment. “One of the tips — this is me talking through my hat cause I’ll never stop — we go for beer after and whatnot. That’s gotta stop, you can’t make it a 26-hour day.” “I just know that I’m adding wrinkles and shortening years by just going out for a drink after. I’m going to have to learn to pace.” When asked about the future of hockey, MacLean had this to say: “Hockey has a couple of things that are peculiar. One is it has equipment ... women’s hockey has just gone crazy in the last decade. I think one of the excitements that young girls found, that we all realized as boys when it was more a boys’ game, was it’s just fun to have the gear.” “Everything about the hockey equipment is cool to a young kid.

Emma, 7, reads with her mother, Danielle Van Hyfte on Sunday evening. at their home. After struggling with reading, Emma took part in the Reading Tails program at the Red Deer Public Library. the next session, Emma was able to do one another consecutive session. Her reading has changed “dramatically”, said Van Hyfte who had tried a myriad of different strategies. Emma, now in Grade 1, is already reading at a higher level with very little struggle. “I don’t know how I didn’t know about this program before. Everyone needs to know about it,” Van Hyfte said. “The intimidation of feeling that she couldn’t do it ... whereas a dog doesn’t judge you when you’re reading and doesn’t say anything. I think that’s where it worked for her. The dog would sit there and just listen, and she could screw up and it wouldn’t affect anything, and she wouldn’t be criticized for it.” The Reading Tails program has not just helped children discover the joy of reading, said Grimes.

Recently a mother call Grimes at the library, crying. The mother was so happy because her daughter had such anxiety during tests, she couldn’t write anything down. After going through the dog therapy program, the child aced science and social tests. She told her mother that all she did was close her eyes and imagine she was with Rooster. “They get so comfortable, they soar,” said Grimes. The aim is to raise the child’s confidence and get them to where they love to read. The free program runs on Tuesday evenings for four weeks at the library. A maximum of eight children can attend a session. For more information, contact Grimes at 403-346-4688 or email her at lgrimes@rdpl.org barr@reddeeradvocate.com

that same ... you know how kids love to dress up. That’s one of its appeals that doesn’t get talked about much. “It’s very enjoyable for a kid to think about what stick they’re going to use, to compare what they have to what Sidney Crosby uses. So that’s a real lure.” “We’re all biased in our country but it’s such an exceptional sport. It’s a really neat sport to be able to master because both hands and feet are involved. ... We have a lot of winter and it’s a great way to enjoy that big part of our existence.” “You can’t play soccer year-round. You can’t golf year-round. So you should have a winter pursuit and it’s as good as it gets.” As for the Red Deer Hometown Hockey event, it was a hit with locals. Ron Holmes, his wife Tammie and their 16-yearold daughter Jennifer, of Red Deer, took in the action Saturday. “It’s awesome,” said Ron, who was thrilled that his son got an NHLer autograph the day previous at school. He was also thrilled to meet the radio guys in real life at SN 960 who do the Calgary Flames broadcasts, and who were in Red Deer. While Jennifer is not a huge hockey fan, she said the best part of the event for her was seeing her dad so thrilled at Hometown Hockey. Hockey moms Cindy Braun and Cora Hasna also attended with their sons, respectively, Jackson, and Ty, both 12, and who play for the Peewee A Sunrise Roofing team. The boys had played hockey in the morning and they had all come to check out Hometown Hockey. “It’s good. It’s fun,” said Braun. Lori McGowan, a Flames fan, is a pond hockey mom. She was busy watching her son seven-yearold Kade play street hockey in the mini rink in the

Arena parking lot. She said the event was fabulous, and was contemplating attending Sunday activities as well. Adam McCaig’s son, Joseph, 7, was one of the many children to sport a free Hometown Hockey jersey. The pair had come in from their hometown of Blackfalds to check out the “neat” event. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Danielle Van Hyfte and her seven-year-old daughter Emma would get so frustrated with reading that sometimes things would end in tears for one or both of them. “We were really struggling with reading. We actually put her through two years of kindergarten,” said Van Hyfte. It got to the point that the 30-year-old Red Deer mom started looking at getting private paid help for Emma because she didn’t want to see her daughter struggle through school. One alternative would have cost about $2,000, and then a few people suggested she look at the no-cost Reading Tails program at Red Deer Public Library. And that’s when things changed for Emma. The Reading Tails program in the Children’s Department involves children ages six to 12 having individual time to practise their reading with a trained therapy dog and its handler. During the week at home, the children read out loud the same material each day. And then for 15 minutes once a week they get to read to the dog at the library. The program involves a partnership with the Therapy Dog Program via St. John Ambulance and the SPCA. Van Hyfte admits she was skeptical. “How is reading to a dog going to help my child learn how to read.” And Emma wanted no part of it, because she didn’t want to be embarrassed. “What if the dog thinks that I can’t read,” she told her mother. But Emma happens to love animals, and so after a visit to the library and a meeting with Laural Grimes, the Red Deer Public Library Children’s Service coordinator, Emma decided to give it a try. At the library she met trained volunteers Rooster the therapy dog, and his handler Connie Bohnsack, who helps with the reading. “The first reading session (in September) went so well that she was begging to go back,” Van Hyfte said. Emma was reading every night, and so wanted to read to and impress Rooster that she wanted to go back. “Its just a very non intimidating environment.” Usually a child will get to go through one session of four weeks, but because there was an opening in

NDP, Liberals rule out merger

SPIRIT OF HALLOWEEN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — While the recent four provincial byelections highlighted a crippling split on Alberta’s centre-left, party leaders say that rift won’t be healing anytime soon. NDP Leader Rachel Notley and the Liberals’ Raj Sherman both say they have a growing base of support to make a breakthrough in the 2016 general election and will not be exploring a merger. Notley said the party’s fortunes in recent polls and in fundraising are reflected in candidate Bob Turner’s second-place finish in Edmonton-Whitemud, a riding where the NDP has traditionally been off the radar. “Whitemud is the most secure Tory seat in the province and they ran the (former) mayor (Stephen Mandel). And we went from running a distant fourth to a respectable second,” said Notley in an interview. “If those results were projected across the city, we would be looking at a tremendously successful election in the city of Edmonton.” Last week, Premier Jim Prentice and his Progressive Conservatives won all four byelections — three in Calgary and one in Edmonton. The Tories came up the middle in two of them. Education Minister Gordon Dirks won CalgaryElbow with just 33 per cent of the vote. Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark was second and Wildrose candidate John Fletcher was third. In Edmonton-Whitemud, Mandel, the health minister, won with 42 per cent of the vote. Sherman’s party did not target one specific riding to win and finished well back in all of them. But Sherman said the fact the Liberals have seats in Calgary and Edmonton, as compared with just Edmonton for the NDP, shows the Liberals are the only true pan-Alberta left-centre option. He said the Liberals have $230,000 in the bank and didn’t foolishly double-down on longshots in the byelections by spending big in four Tory strongholds. And given the vote-splitting potential in ridings with Wildrose and the Tories, “There are opportunities that haven’t existed for the Liberals for a long time,” he said. As for a merger, Sherman said, “That’s off the table.” Pollster and political analyst Janet Brown said the centre-left, by working at cross purposes, continues to kneecap itself.

Getting into the spirit of Halloween St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School students Aisha Corcoran dressed as the Queen of Hearts and Paris White as the Mad Hatter joined their classmates to wait for the bus ride home after school Friday.

Red Deer woman charged after incident in Stony Plain A Red Deer woman is one of two suspects arrested and charged after incidents in the Stony Plain area culminated in the blocking off of a haunted house attraction on Halloween as police sought the second suspect. The initial incident began late last week when Spruce Grove/Stony Plain RCMP received a complaint about a suspicious vehicle in Wabamun, claiming the occupants were smoking drugs. Police located the vehicle and activated their emergency equipment, at which time the vehicle allegedly fled at a dangerously high rate of speed. Given that it was 3 p.m. and numerous students were walking home from school, a pursuit was not initiated, police said. The same vehicle was discovered Friday evening (Halloween) on Paul Band Reserve in the Wabamun area. Again, police initiated a traffic stop, obtaining identification from the female driver. RCMP said drug paraphernalia was witnessed in the console, and when police asked the woman driver to exit the vehicle, she raced away at a high rate of speed, almost striking the officer’s foot. The suspect vehicle raced through a field, and police chose not to pursue due to the high speeds and hazards present. Police later located the vehicle in Alberta Beach, and allege it was still being driven at exceedingly high speeds and frightening many children out trickor-treating, police said.

It sped out of town, with numerous police and Alberta Sheriffs monitoring its whereabouts. The vehicle was then located on Hwy 16 West of Stony Plain, still refusing to stop for police emergency lights and sirens. You’re Invited to Join our The vehicle came to a sudden stop on the highway (ANY SIZE) because it had run out of gas, and a semi-truck narrowly averted striking it. The driver, a man, took off running, and the woman passenger surrendered to police.

Income splitting falls short THE GOVERNMENT MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENACT TAX REFORM THAT LAYS THE FOUNDATION FOR STRONGER ECONOMIC GROWTH BY CHARLES LAMMAM AND JASON CLEMENS SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE After seven consecutive years of budget deficits, the federal government is finally set to balance the budget. While the government has long expressed that tax relief is its top postdeficit priority, the major question has always been: what form will the tax relief take? Now we finally know. Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently announced that his government will introduce income splitting for tax purposes at an annual cost of roughly $2 billion. The government is right to focus on tax relief and address a distortion in the tax code, but it missed an opportunity to think big and enact tax reform that lays the foundation for stronger economic growth. Income splitting tackles a distortion in Canada’s tax system between households. Households with similar incomes can face very different income tax bills depending on who earns the income. If a household has two earners at, say, $50,000 each, it would ultimately pay lower combined income taxes than a one-earner household with the same amount of income. In principle, households with similar incomes should face similar tax burdens. The distortion between dualincome households and those where most income is earned by one spouse is due to Canada’s progressive personal income tax system — tax rates increase significantly as income increases. Since income tax rates apply to individual earnings, rather than family income, single earner families are taxed at higher rates than dualincome families with the same family income. By allowing households to move income from one spouse facing higher rates to the other spouse, income splitting is one way to help fix this distortion. Income splitting, however, does virtually nothing to improve economic incentives or Canada’s competitiveness. Therein lies the missed opportunity. Other reforms would allow the government to both fix the tax distortion

while at the same time strengthening our economy and improving our tax competitiveness. Consider a recent Fraser Institute study that surveyed the existing research on marginal tax rates. The weight of the evidence clearly shows that high and increasing marginal personal income taxes discourage investment and entrepreneurship, which form the basis for a thriving economy. Consecutive federal governments, both Liberal (in 2005) and Conservative (in 2006), have identified the destructive effect of Canada’s personal income tax rates. Indeed, the Conservatives highlighted the need to reduce personal income tax rates well before any mention of income splitting. Tax relief in the form of lower personal income tax rates would achieve the dual purpose of diminishing the tax bias between households and strengthening Canada’s economy. One option is to eliminate the two

middle-income tax brackets of 22 and 26 per cent, leaving one tax bracket (15 per cent) for the overwhelming majority of Canadians and a single highincome bracket of 29 per cent, which would only affect approximately two per cent of taxpayers. Such a change reduces the number of brackets and thus the income tax system’s complexity, improves economic incentives, and diminishes the need for income splitting for almost all households. If fully implemented, it would cost an estimated $21.4 billion. The government could use expected future surpluses to finance part of the proposal to eliminate the two middleincome tax brackets. The remainder could be financed through the elimination or reduction of tax expenditures (this includes tax credits for particular activities such as enrolling kids in arts or sports classes). The totality of government resources consumed by tax expenditures is

actually quite large. In 2013, the latest year of available data, the federal government spent over $140 billion on personal income tax expenditures while collecting $130.8 billion in personal income taxes. Yes, the federal government spent more money providing carve-outs and special treatment than it collected in personal income taxes. Reducing personal income tax rates would provide broader-based tax relief and an enormous improvement in our tax competitiveness while strengthening the incentives for work effort, savings, investment, and entrepreneurship. Canadians would get far bigger bang for their buck with big-picture reforms such as broad-based personal income tax cuts than tinkering with income splitting. Charles Lammam and Jason Clemens are economists with the Fraser Institute. This column was supplied by Troy Media (www.troymedia.com).

More bad news on horizon for bees Have you heard of flupyradifurone? Probably not, unless you work for the federal government agency poised to approve this new pesticide for use in Canada. But take note: This new “F” word is bad news for bees. Flupyradifurone is an insect-killing systemic pesticide similar to the controversial neonicotinoid, or neonic, family of bee-killing chemicals. When applied to seeds or soil, it’s absorbed by plant roots and travels to leaves, flowers, pollen and nectar, making the plant potentially toxic to insects. Last summer, the international Task Force on Systemic Pesticides analyzed 800 sciDAVID entific studies and concluded SUZUKI that systemic pesticides like neonics are harming bees, butterflies, birds and worms and should be phased out globally. The European Union banned three neonics for “crops attractive to bees,” but the European Environment Agency says that’s just a starting point, and recommends regulators look at similar pesticides and take into account potential harmful effects on aquatic invertebrates, birds and other insects. The EEA also found “mounting scientific evidence has been systematically suppressed for many years and early warnings were ignored.” Inexplicably, Canada’s Pest Management Regulation Agency has yet to respond to the Task Force findings and now wants to approve a new systemic

pesticide. What’s especially troubling is that, in its description, the PMRA states flupyradifurone “may pose a risk” to bees, birds, worms, spiders, small mammals and aquatic bugs, and that it doesn’t readily break down in water, air or sunlight and may carry over to the following growing season. When it enters streams, rivers and wetlands, “it may persist for a long time.” Like neonics, flupyradifurone is a nerve poison, acutely toxic to bees if ingested. As in the past, we don’t fully understand the cumulative effects of the increasing amounts of today’s insecticides, pesticides, fungicides and other chemicals being applied to crops across the country. Neonicotinoids are showing up more frequently and in higher concentrations than the harmful chemicals they replaced. A study last year found 90 per cent of Saskatchewan prairie potholes contained residual neonics in the spring, before farmers planted their fields. Research from the U.S. Midwest found neonics in all 79 samples taken from nine rivers. Similar results have been found in wetlands, streams and rivers in the southwest U.S., Georgia and California. It’s not even clear whether the widespread use of neonic seed treatments increases agricultural yields. A recent report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regarding soy crop treatments concluded, “these seed treatments provide little or no overall benefits to soybean production in most situations. Published data indicate that in most cases there is no difference in soybean yield when soybean seed was treated with neonicotinoids versus not receiving any insect control treatment.” The European Environment Agency also found a 2004 ban on neonicotinoid chemicals by France for

sunflower and maize crops hasn’t negatively affected productivity. In fact, yields were higher in 2007 than they’d been in a decade. You’d think we’d learn from past experience with persistent and bioaccumulative pesticides like DDT and organophosphates, and the more recent research on neonicotinoids. DDT was widely used until Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring drew attention to its negative impacts on ecosystems, wildlife and humans. Many, but not all, organophosphate pesticides have also been pulled from widespread use because we learned their neurotoxic effects posed serious risks to humans and wildlife. Rather than approving new pesticides that may harm pollinators, birds and other animals, including humans, we need better ways to protect crops. A recent report, Alternatives to neonicotinoid insecticides for pest control, published in the journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research, suggests further research and methods including “diversifying crop rotations, altering the timing of planting, tillage and irrigation, using less sensitive crops in infested areas, applying biological control agents,” and other lower-risk alternatives. We need to stop contaminating the environment with neonics and related systemic pesticides. Approving flupyradifurone would take us in the wrong direction. Canada’s Pest Management Regulation Agency is accepting comments on flupyradifurone approval until today. You can submit through the PMRA or David Suzuki Foundation websites. Putting bees and ecosystem functioning at risk endangers us all. It’s time to find a better way. Scientist, author and broadcaster David Suzuki wrote this column with Jode Roberts.

Canadian warplanes launch first air strike BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

IRAQ

KUWAIT CITY — Canada’s involvement in the war against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant began in earnest Sunday when two CF-18 warplanes conducted their first strike missions. After days of poor, cloudy weather obscuring their targets, two CF-18 jetfighters dropped laser-guided bombs in the vicinity of Fallujah, west of Baghdad, a place infamous for U.S. soldiers as the scene of the heaviest fighting during the decade-long American war in Iraq. The Iraqi government lost control city in January when Islamic State fighters clashed with police following the withdrawal of the Iraqi Army from all of Anbar province. Fallujah has since been a major stronghold of ISIL. Word of the strikes did not come from the Canadian task force headquarters in Kuwait, but in a brief statement from Defence Minister Rob Nicholson’s office in Ottawa. The minister noted that the fight-

ers were refuelled on the way to their target by a Polaris C-150 jet. All three aircraft returned to base without incident, Nicholson said. The combat mission, which began with the first patrols last week, has been carried out under a heavy blanket of secrecy with the Canadian military denying media access to the air bases where the CF-18s, the refueller and two CP-140 Aurora surveillance planes are located, citing security concerns of their Kuwaiti hosts. The statement did not say what kind of Islamic State target was hit. American and other coalition warplanes have destroyed military vehicles and positions, but also economic targets, such as oil refineries, which provide the extremist organization millions of dollars per day in hard cash. Nicholson’s statement said the military will release no further information about the milestone mission, including a damage assessment of the target, until Tuesday.

Military officials on the ground refused comment and they remained tight-lipped less than an hour before the minister’s statement. “Missions are occurring on a regular basis. Relevant information will be released at the appropriate time,” said Maj. Richard Langlois said in an email to The Canadian Press. Canada’s first sortie took place Thursday, but bad weather prevented the fighters from dropping munitions. Throughout the late fall, Iraq experiences heavy southern winds, which create cloud cover and can wreak havoc on the country’s dry, dusty landscape. The air force arrived for the combat mission armed with GBU12 500 lb laser guided bombs, which require the target to be illuminated — or “painted” as the military describes it. A stock of Global Positioning System-guided munitions kits is enroute to Kuwait and National Defence has ordered more in what could be a sign of a long campaign. The smart bombs allow pilots to tap in the co-ordinates of the target and are extremely accurate in all weather

conditions. The air force used them to great effect during the 2011 Libya bombing campaign and stocks were apparently not entirely replenished. Earlier this year and prior to the Iraq combat mission, National Defence cut is overall ammunition order by 38 per cent in order to meet its budget reduction targets, according to documents obtained last month by The Canadian Press. It did so against the advice of public works, which tried to convince defence officials to either abandon the cut or at least spread it out over a couple of years. But defence officials said that would be impossible, because “they would not allow the department to meet its financial targets.” The CF-18s receive their strike orders and targets from the U.S.-led coalition and join aircraft from a number of different countries, including the U.S., Britain, Australia and several Gulf states. The Canadian contribution to the air campaign is mandated to last six months, but is likely to be extended.

Lisa Raitt to undergo surgery to remove growth on ovaries BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Transport Minister Lisa Raitt is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday to remove a “solid growth” on her ovaries. She says diagnostic imaging and blood tests suggest the growth is not cancerous but she won’t know for sure until it is removed and analysed. How much time Lisa Raitt the 46-year-old will have to take off from her cabinet duties will depend on how invasive the surgery proves to be and whether the lump is cancerous. She revealed her medical condition in an interview with Tom Clark, host of Global TV’s “The West Block.” Raitt says she chose to speak out to avoid speculation about her coming absence from Parliament. And she also wanted to send a message to other women to be vigilant about “reproductive issues” they experience. “You have to check these things out and women have to talk about uncomfortable issues associated with symptoms that aren’t pleasant to talk about

with others,” she said in the interview, broadcast Sunday. “But you start telling the stories, you realize there is a lot of commonality in terms of symptoms and they can be treated. “But as well, they should be investigated.” Raitt admitted she was not as vigilant as she should have been after she first started noticing problems three years ago. “I had some real complaints associated with reproductive issues and I didn’t let them go. I continued to talk about them with my doctor and became concerned.” Still, she added: “I actually let a year go by in lapsing, in terms of getting a test done and I shouldn’t have done that. I should have been more diligent with my health and I should have followed the advice that I was given.” She also advised people undergoing medical tests to avoid online research. “The worst thing you can do is go to the Internet and start Googling and trying to self-diagnose and wonder what happens because there’s a lot of information out there that you don’t need to read about and what it means. “Ovarian cancer is a deadly form of cancer and it affects a lot of women. And it’s a very serious matter,” Raitt said, admitting she’s had some “dark thoughts.” COME SEE OUR KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF

French president expresses sympathy BRIEFS on first official trip to Canada Suspect in random CANADA

PITTSBURGH, Pa. — A Pittsburgh newspaper has published a profile of Jian Ghomeshi without mentioning any of the abuse allegations that led to the CBC host’s dismissal last weekend. The Pittsburgh PostGazette posted an explanation on its website saying the write-up was sent out Sunday as a printed promotion to non-subscribers. The explanation posted Sunday says the promotion was printed on Oct. 23, three days before Ghomeshi’s dismissal and the start of a number of media reports containing allegations from women who say they were physically or sexually assaulted. The 850 word write up, featuring an August interview with Ghomeshi on his thoughts on life as an immigrant, first ran in print and online on Oct. 19. As many as nine women have alleged in media reports that Ghomeshi attacked them physically and sexually without warning, and the Toronto police sex crime unit says they’re investigating after hearing from three alleged victims.

Two hospitalized after struck by plane at airport terminal PETERBOROUGH, Ont. — Two people have been sent to hospital after being struck by a plane at the municipal airport in Peterborough, Ont. The incident happened around 1:30 p.m Sunday near the airport terminal building. Officials had no details on the extent of the injuries or how the incident occurred. They say one of the victims had to be immobilized after fire crews and paramedics raced to the scene.

Businessman beats former Mulroney aide in nomination battle OTTAWA — Businessman Adam Moulton is the new Conservative candidate in the hotly contested Ontario riding of Northumberland Peterborough South, beating out an aide to former prime minister Brian Mulroney. Moulton, 24, had the high-profile support of Employment Minister Jason Kenney and New Brunswick MP John Williamson. His rival Paul Smith, a 50-year-old corporate executive, was a former assistant to Mulroney with big-name backers including Mulroney himself, Labour Minister Kellie Leitch and Justice Minister Peter MacKay.

friend”. “I’m also here as part of our excellent bilateral relations, because we are two countries that were made friends by our history, culture, language and the same concept of development,” Hollande said. “Canada is attached to bilingualism. We share the sensitivity and elegance that comes each time we express ourselves in French. It’s a skill to speak two languages, like you do in Canada.” Governor General David Johnston paid tribute to the close ties Canada and France have developed in a speech at a state luncheon at the Banff Springs Hotel. “Our ties are strong but the challenges we face are many,” said Johnston. “We must avoid complacency. Through dialogue and a shared commitment to working and innovating together, I am certain we can strengthen our partnerships and create new avenues of prosperity.” Hollande will also address Parliament and is also scheduled to visit Montreal and Que-

bec City. The last French president to make a formal state visit to Canada was Francois Mitterrand in 1987, although Nicholas Sarkozy attended a European UnionCanada summit in 2008. Hollande will be accompanied by several cabinet ministers and a large business and academic delegation. France is Canada’s eighthlargest commercial partner, with bilateral merchandise trade totalling more than $8.5 billion in 2013. The French president also met with Alberta Premier Jim Prentice and Bob McLeod, the premier of the Northwest Territories. “This visit is as historic as it is valuable given the long-standing friendship between Alberta and France that begins with our cultural roots,” said Prentice. “Market access continues to be the most pressing issue facing the province and today we took a significant step on this front with the signing of a letter of intent between Alberta and (France’s) Ministry of Agriculture.”

Uber taxi app continues to face resistance BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The taxi alternative Uber has been busy expanding its controversial UberX service in several Canadian cities in recent months, often against the wishes of local politicians and taxi regulators, who warn the service is bad — and potentially dangerous — for consumers. The U.S.-based company recently launched its UberX brand, which users a smartphone app to connect passengers with non-licensed drivers, in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. The company is also believed to be planning an imminent UberX expansion into Vancouver, where it has been searching for managers and drivers through postings on its website and on social media. Similar job advertisements have also been posted for Calgary. But wherever Uber goes, the company is forced to fend off criticism from local governments, regulators and the taxi industry. Critics argue UberX is attempting to skirt regulations designed to protect passengers and drivers, such as requirements for insurance, licensing, training and vehicle inspections. “My message to Uber and any other company like Uber is: we have rules; we have laws in this province that are all about protecting the travelling public and ensuring that people can travel safely,” B.C.’s minister of transportation, Todd Stone, recently told reporters. “If Uber wants to operate in this province, they’re going to have to operate under the same rules taxi operators currently abide by.” Consumers may be most familiar with Uber’s traditional taxi service — aptly named Uber Taxi — which connects users with licensed cabs. Passengers pay the standard meter rates, plus a tip, and Uber collects a percentage of the transaction. UberX is a relatively new ad-

U.S paper runs Ghomeshi profile without mentioning allegations

BANFF— The president of France expressed his sorrow for Canada’s recent losses to terrorism on the first leg of his state visit to Canada on Sunday. Francois Hollande was given a tour of Banff National Park by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and made note of the deaths of two Canadian soldiers, who were killed last month in what police have described as terrorist attacks. Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot dead by a gunman in Ottawa. Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was killed and another soldier injured when they were run down by a vehicle in Montreal. “I want to express all of France’s solidarity with the families of the victims tragically murdered in those terrorist attacks that caused such grief to your country,” said Hollande. “There have also been tragic acts here and I’d like to extend to you, dear Stephen, the full friendship of France in these circumstances. In other moments, not so far in the past, we

were also touched by such dramatic acts,” he said in French. Harper and Hollande had plenty of time to chat on their 90-minute drive to Banff from Calgary. “We continue to work, Francois and I together, on issues as diverse as international peace and security, obviously international economic situation, the pandemic problems we’re having, the battle against climate change, all of these things France as a country is truly in the forefront of what’s going on in the world,” Harper said. The two men spent a few minutes on the Rundle Terrace with a view of Mount Rundle and Tunnel Mountain, with the prime minister pointing to areas of interest. Hollande reviewed a 100-member Canadian Forces honour guard. A military band played “O Canada” and “La Marseillaise,” the French national anthem. Hollande told Harper it was a pleasure to be the first French president to make an official state visit to this country since 1987, calling Canada a “great

KELOWNA, B.C. — Court records identify the suspect in connection with a fatal stabbing aboard a city bus in Kelowna B.C., as a man in his mid-20s. The attack happened early Thursday evening, when a 55-year-old passenger aboard a city bus was stabbed in the neck. The RCMP announced over the weekend that a suspect had been arrested and faces a charge of second-degree murder, though they have yet to formally release his name. Online court records associated with the police file number concerning the stabbing case identify the suspect as Tyler Jack Newton, who was born in 1990. Newton is scheduled to appear in court in Kelowna on Monday to face the allegations against him.

Burman backstops Rebels to win GOALTENDER COMES UP BIG AGAINST SPOKANE BY ADVOCATE STAFF Rebels 2 Chiefs 1 SPOKANE — Basically an afterthought through the first six weeks of the Western Hockey League season, netminder Taz Burman was the Red Deer Rebels’ man of the hour Saturday. “Burms played outstanding for us. I was very proud of him, he just looked very calm and very in control. He played very well,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter, following Burman’s first-star, 38-save performance in Red Deer’s 2-1 win over the Spokane Chiefs in front of 6,011 fans at Veterans Memorial Arena. “It’s absolutely great for his confidence and our team’s confidence that he can play that way for us. That’s a big thing. Goaltending is a big part of your team’s own psyche and it was really important that he play well.” Burman came up big with his team

outshot 32-10 through the first two periods, refusing to allow a single goal while watching Tyler Sandhu stake Red Deer to a 1-0 lead with a goal at 14:11 of the middle frame. The Rebels picked it up in the third period, outshooting their hosts 10-7 and getting a 2-0 power-play goal from

Evan Polei. Markson Bechtold finally beat Burman with 2:32 left in the contest, but the Chiefs couldn’t find the equalizer. “I thought we looked tired tonight,” said Sutter. “Our best period was the third. In the first two (periods) we looked like a tired team. We were playing our third game in six nights but there was a lot of travel involved. “Burms certainly gave us everything we needed to allow us to get a victory.” While Burman struggled in his earlier appearances this fall, Sutter felt he could turn it around under the right circumstances. “It’s just one game, but that was huge for his confidence,” said the Rebels bench boss. “He had been waiting for awhile to get in and I wanted it to be at the right time. We had to put him in a situation where he could feel good about going back in net. “And Taylor (Rebels goaltending coach Dakers) did a great job of getting him ready over the past two weeks . . .

of getting him ready to go.” After spending most of the first 40 minutes on their heels, the Rebels were the better team in the final frame. “Spokane did a really good job of taking our speed away through the neutral zone, and mentally we weren’t as sharp as we needed to be with the puck,” said Sutter, in reference to his team’s play over the first two periods. “In the third period we played a very simple, basic road game and never gave up a lot of scoring opportunities,” he added.

Young guns help Flames shoot down Habs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Flames 6 Canadiens 2 MONTREAL — The Flames looked to a few of their youngsters to lead the way against the Canadiens — and they delivered. Prospect Josh Jooris scored twice and Markus Granlund added another to lead Calgary to a 6-2 victory over Montreal on Sunday night at the Bell Centre. Rookie forward Johnny Gaudreau also added two assists. Together, Jooris, 24, Granlund, 21 and Gaudreau, 21, combined for three goals, five points, and nine shots. They were sharp for much of the game, created havoc around Carey Price’s net, and were ultimately the differencemakers. “All those young players had great training camps,’’ said Flames head coach Bob Hartley. “That’s where it starts. Last year we committed to a rebuild, and those kids are jumping in. Right now, we’re getting rewarded for our efforts. “You have to spread the responsibility out there, and they’re responding well. They’re rewarding us.’’ Coming into Montreal, the Flames were looking to avenge a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of the Canadiens last Tuesday after Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau scored the winner in a shootout. Harley’s men felt they deserved two points from that game after outshooting the Habs 38-19, and came into the Bell Centre on Sunday looking for a repeat performance with a different score line. “We had a good game against them last game, so we were prepared,’’ said Jooris, who played 73 games with the American Hockey League’s Abbotsford Heat last year. “We knew what to expect. We wanted to play the same way we did against them.’’ Calgary (7-4-2) came into this one — the team’s first stop of a five-game road swing — with just five first-period goals in their first 12 games. Jooris and Granlund, however, managed to put two past Price in the opening 20 minutes on Sunday. Jooris, in just his sixth NHL game, got the ball rolling for the Flames at

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price is scored on by Calgary Flames’ Josh Jooris during first period NHL action in Montreal, Sunday. The Flames won the game 6-2. 4:58 of the first period. The Burlington, Ont. native gobbled up a juicy rebound in front of the net from a Dennis Wideman shot from the point, and patiently waited out Price to make it 1-0. Gaudreau was rewarded for an outstanding first period with an assist on the goal. “It’s a loud building,’’ said Jooris of his first time playing at the Bell Centre. “The nerves were there, but it was good nerves. I was really excited to play here. It’s an exciting building to play in. Once we got the first shift in, we settled in.’’ Granlund, in is ninth NHL game, doubled Calgary’s lead with 27 seconds remaining in the first period when he deflected a shot from Jiri Hudler past

Price with his toe. Gaudreau, who was drafted by the Flames in the fourth round in 2011, got an assist on Granlund’s goal and now has eight points in his last seven games since being a healthy scratch versus the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 17. Like Jooris, Gaudreau was quick to shake off the early Bell Centre jitters. “There’s a lot of history here,’’ said the rookie, who had aunts and uncles make the drive from Vermont to watch the game from the stands. “We just looked at it as a great experience. We wanted to make the most out of it. The older guys led by example.’’ After Curtis Glencross and Max Pacioretty traded goals, Jooris added his

second of the game at 8:48 of the third period to give Calgary a 4-1 lead. With the Flames on the power play, Jooris took a long stretch pass from defender TJ Brodie and walked in alone on Price, beating him top corner. “With TJ, we like to play a fastpaced game, the full length of the ice,’’ said Jooris. “So I tried to get out of the zone quickly. With great vision he found me, and I was able to put it past Price. I tried to get it upstairs real quick. “The fact that it was against a great goalie was pretty cool.’’ Lance Bouma and Mark Giordano added goals for the Flames, while Jonas Hiller stopped 18-of-20 shots.

Gushue, Sweeting win Grand Slam of Curling Masters BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SELKIRK, Man. — He’s been close but it feels good to finally win one, Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L. said after he ran Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen out of rocks in eight ends to take the Masters Grand Slam of Curling 8-6 Sunday. “This year we’ve been playing well in the round robins and the qualifying rounds but we get to the playoffs and we’ve been kind of stinking the bed,” said the veteran. He’s also glad to be reunited with third Mark Nichols, who returned to his home province after the breakup of the Winnipeg rink led by Jeff Stoughton. “It was something I missed over the last couple of years and no disrespect to the guys I played with,” said Gushue. “We got our lumps and bruises over the last 15 years playing and we’ve had the same experiences, so we’re kind of on the same level.” “It feels great,” agreed Nichols, both of the win and the renewed partnership. “We started off slow this season. It always seemed like we had someone struggling.” They curled together from 1999 to 2011, including a Canadian Junior Championship in 2001 and an Olympic gold medal in 2006. Some big shots set the stage but it was a well-swept draw for two in the seventh end that made the difference,

Cathy Overton-Clapham, who threw third stones for Sweeting, was a last minute recruit after Andrea Crawford unexpectedly left to return to her native New Brunswick. She only joined this year as a replacement for second Joanne Courtney, who joined Homan’s rink. “I did say seriously? I haven’t thrown a rock in three weeks, are you sure you still want me?” said OvertonClapham, third for current Olympic champ Jennifer Jones until she was dumped in favour of Kaitlyn Lawes in 2010. She went on to successfully skip her own rink but most recently played third for the Crystal Webster rink in Calgary. “She was so great, we learned so much from her this week,” said Sweeting, who has already replaced Crawford with Lori Olson Johns, who played second for Calgary’s Cheryl Bernard. To get to the final Sigfridsson had to go through Jones, who beat her in the women’s curling final to claim Olympic gold in Sochi. With the win, Sweeting picked up $23,500 in cash and 12 Rogers Cup points and second place earned Sigfridsson $13,500.

Oilers still can’t solve Miller BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canucks 3 Oilers 2 EDMONTON _ Ryan Miller is now a perfect 10 against the Edmonton Oilers. Miller made 25 saves and Derek Dorsett had a goal and an assist as the Vancouver Canucks stretched their winning streak to four games with a 3-2 victory over the Oilers on Saturday. With the win, Miller remained flawless in his career against Edmonton, improving to 10-0-0 all-time against the Oilers. The 34-year-old goalie said he is at a loss to explain why he seems to have Edmonton’s number. “It’s just kind of how it has worked out,’’ Miller said. “When I was out east you would face teams like them maybe every other year and a lot of the games they were on a long trip coming into our building. It’s just one of the anomalies of the game. I prepare the same for any team. Every game has been close this season, it’s just been a matter of having that last little push at the end for us.’’ Dorsett’s goal was a special one for the former New York Ranger. “Every goal is important, but it was exciting to get my first goal as a Canuck,’’ he said. “It just so happened to be the winner and shorthanded as well, which made it that much better.’’ Luca Sbisa and Linden Vey also scored for the Canucks, who improved to 8-3-0 on a night their top line was held off the scoresheet. “The Sedin line, they carried us a lot on the first few games of the year and I think we are starting to get some offensive play from all four lines now,’’ Dorsett said. “We have said since training camp that we wanted to be a four-line team. If we can do that night

The Canucks won 3-2. in and night out, it will win us a lot of games.’’ Jordan Eberle and David Perron replied for the Oilers (4-6-1), who have lost two in a row and remain winless against Western Conference opposition this season with a record of 0-6-1.

Any move it just comes out.’’ On the defensive side Sherritt had eight tackles, three quarterback sacks and forced a third-quarter fumble the Eskimos recovered and turned into a scoring drive. He admitted it may have been his best game of the season for himself and the defence. “We’re getting down to it and the team that can get the momentum and start shining late is going to have a good shot (in the playoffs). That’s what we were focusing on, playing a complete game. We wanted to make sure we started fast and ended fast.’’

I’m certainly not going to stand here and crucify the guy. It’s easy to stand back and point fingers, but that kid kept us in that game and a lot of key points and was a huge part of us coming out of the hole when we hadn’t won. He’ll bounce back, he made a mistake, he’s owned up to it. He kept us in the game with some massive saves. I’m very cautious to pin

Cornish takes another hard hit to head in Stamps’ loss to Bombers BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The sight of the CFL’s star running back bouncing his head off the McMahon Stadium turf and staggering to his feet Saturday was alarming, given Jon Cornish’s concussion history this season. The Calgary Stampeder halfback left the game in the second quarter and did not return in an 18-13 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. On a nine-yard run, Cornish was upended by Blue Bomber defensive back Bruce Johnson. Cornish’s right shoulder hit the turf first and his head snapped down on the ground. The CFL’s Most Outstanding Player in 2013 needed assistance getting off the field. Cornish walked to the team clubhouse unaided, but flanked by medical staff. The 30-year-old from New Westminster, B.C., missed six games in July and August with concussion symptoms. Cornish was knocked unconscious by Montreal’s Kyries Hebert in the season-opener. Cornish told reporters in the Stampeder dressing room following Saturday’s game he didn’t think his second major knock to his head this season was as serious as the first on June 28. “I knew

I was concussed after that,” Cornish said. “I was not at the same level I’m at now. “I guess I got upended, another guy going for my knees as always and my head contacted the ground on the right side,” he continued. “When you hit it on the side, that’s when you get the balance issue, so when I was getting up, I didn’t have much balance so then immediately everybody freaks out. “Go in, get checked out, no real issues, but as a precautionary measure, they took me out. Like I learned before with concussions, you can’t say anything until you’ve got a few days without symptoms.” Calgary (14-3) closes out the regular season Friday in Vancouver against the B.C. Lions. Whether Cornish will play in the finale is a question mark. The Stampeders secured first in the West Division with a win in Winnipeg on Oct. 18, and thus knew over a month out from the division final they’d be playing in it Nov. 23 at McMahon. Cornish posted a singlegame career-high 208 yards in Winnipeg and was working another big-yardage game Saturday before he was hurt. He rushed for 105 yards to surpass 1,000 for a third straight sea-

son before leaving the game. He was appearing in just his ninth game after sitting out two other games this season with injuries. Cornish still leads the CFL in rushing with 1,082 yards after winning the league’s rushing title the past two seasons. Stampeder head coach and general manager John Hufnagel was optimistic Cornish will bounce back. “I don’t believe it’s very serious,” Hufnagel said. “He’s on the sideline 10 minutes after he went in (to the clubhouse). He’ll go through concussion protocol, but I don’t think it will take very long.” New turf was installed at McMahon Stadium prior to this season, to the relief of the Stampeders who said the previous playing surface felt like concrete in recent years. But Stampeder slotback Nik Lewis said the new turf lost cushioning in September, when snow removal after a freak summer snowstorm also removed the small black pellets embedded in it. “We’ve got to figure out a way to replenish the little black pebbles or you’re just going to play on concrete and everybody is susceptible to injuries no matter who you are,” the veteran receiver said.

Eskimos 37 Lions 3 EDMONTON _ It took 17 attempts but head coach Chris Jones finally got the complete game out of his Edmonton Eskimos that he’s been waiting for all season. The Eskimos scored an impressive 37-3 win over the B.C. Lions Saturday, their third straight victory that wrapped up second place in the CFL West Division. “It’s been a long time coming. We’ve been trying to put four quarters together and it was good to be able to go in (the locker room) tonight and brag on them a little bit,’’ Jones said after the one-sided win before 26,388 fans. “Minus a few missed assignments here and there we played an extremely solid football game.’’ The Eskimos scored on their first two possessions for a 10-0 lead that they extended to 20-3 by the half. They scored on their second possession of the third quarter and were up 30-3 going into the final 15 minutes.

lievably frustrating. To make a play that cost your team the game is unbelievably frustrating. You have to try not to make those.’’ Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins said that Scrivens has been a stalwart for the team of late and doesn’t deserve to be the only one feeling bad about the loss. “It’s the nature of the game, the nature of the beast, we’re all going to stand here and blame it on Ben, but how many people are going to stand up and say ‘Holy crap, right after

the whole game on him.’’ Edmonton started the scoring 13 minutes into the first period as a reward after sustained pressure from the opening face-off as Taylor Hall fed it to Eberle, who deked Miller before tucking in his third goal of the season on the backhand. The Canucks tied the game with just 47 seconds left in the opening frame as Chris Higgins cleared a rebound out of traffic in front to a pinching Sbisa, who beat Oilers starter Ben Scrivens with a slap shot. It was Higgins’ 300th career NHL point. Edmonton had a potentially disastrous play occur early in the second period as Hall crashed hard into the net, left the game with a leg injury and did not return. No update was made available after the game. Hall is the Oilers’s leading scorer with 10 points. “He tried to cut to the net and (Christopher Tanev) was right there,’’ Miller said. “He is a great skater as well so it was two guys who can really fly. I think Hall thought he could get an edge on him and come in and get a shot off, but Tanner was step to step with him and gave him a little push back. “I think he misjudged the situation. I thought it was a pretty clean play. It wasn’t a hold or a hook. Unfortunately it was a tough spot.’’ Scrivens was able to keep it a tie game four minutes into the second, making a big kick save on Jannik Hansen on a Vancouver power play. There was a vicious hit with six minutes left in the second as Oilers captain Andrew Ference sent Zack Kassian flying with a high body check that earned him a penalty. “I didn’t see it live. The league might look at it,’’ said Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins. “I don’t know if they will or not, we’ll have to see what happens.’’

Big Ben continues record roll with win over Ravens MORE NFL COVERAGE ON D3

NFL BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Steelers 43 Ravens 23 PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger threw for 340 yards and six scores to set an NFL record for most touchdown passes in consecutive games, leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 43-23 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. A week after passing for a franchise-record six touchdowns against Indianapolis, Roethlisberger duplicated the feat as Pittsburgh (6-3) earned its third consecutive win. Roethlisberger’s 12 touchdown passes over the last two games broke the mark of 11 set by Tom Flores for Oakland in 1963 and matched by New England’s Tom Brady in 2007. Antonio Brown caught 10 passes for 138 yards and a score. Rookie Martavis Bryant hauled in two scoring receptions and has five touchdowns in three games. Joe Flacco passed for 303 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, but the Ravens (5-4) were undone by a sloppy second quarter. The renewal of one of the NFL’s most physical rivalries traded its usual taut, low-scoring style for something decidedly more spectacular but no less physical. When Roethlisberger wasn’t dissecting Baltimore’s depleted secondary with his expanding number of targets, the teams were trading punches and penalties. Just not the lead, not after a resurgent Pittsburgh defence gave Roethlisberger all the momentum he would need to continue the finest stretch of his 11-year career. “We took advantage of turnovers our defence gave us,” Roethlisberger said. “We were slow starting but made plays down the stretch.” The Ravens were in front 7-0 midway through the

second quarter and the Steelers were sputtering when a little vintage Pittsburgh defence — led by suddenly youthful 36-year-old linebacker James Harrison — turned the tide. Cornerback Brice McCain raced 26 yards following a Lorenzo Taliaferro fumble to set up a 5-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to Le’Veon Bell, and Jason Worilds picked off Flacco and returned it 30 yards to put Roethlisberger in position to find Bryant for a 19-yard score to put the Steelers up 14-7. The Ravens, playing without injured cornerback Jimmy Smith, simply couldn’t keep up. Roethlisberger ended the half with a perfect 47-yard strike to Markus Wheaton. Even when things went wrong, they went right for Pittsburgh. The Steelers tacked on a 2-point conversion following Wheaton’s score when punter Brad Wing made up for a botched hold by scrambling to his right and connecting with tight end Matt Spaeth to make it 22-10 at the break. Rather than sit on the lead, the Steelers kept attacking. Roethlisberger’s 25 completions went to eight different receivers, though he relied on an old one and his new favourite to help the Steelers end a pivotal three-game homestand with a perfect 3-0 record. Roethlisberger found Bryant for a 54-yard catchand-run early in the fourth quarter to make it 29-10. Jacoby Jones responded with a 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, but Roethlisberger then hit the 6-foot-4 Bryant for an 18-yard strike and capped another remarkable night with a 33-yard score to Spaeth with 1:51 remaining. Things were typically heated. Both sides were called for personal fouls for late hits to the opposing quarterbacks, and the Ravens drew three defensive flags on one play in the second quarter.

Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs earned a 15-yard penalty for an ugly shot at the knees of Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount. Teammate Elvis Dumervil picked up another penalty two plays later after smacking Bell. Roethlisberger took a shot to the jaw from linebacker Courtney Upshaw that left the quarterback comically stretching his face trying to check for damage. He could afford to smile after the Steelers bounced back from a rough start. Pittsburgh failed to record a first down on each of its first three possessions and didn’t take a snap past its own 25 until the final minute of the opening quarter. It hardly mattered by halftime, when the Steelers raced to the locker room with all the momentum as a group of the franchise’s best players walked on to the field to toast one of their own. Hall of Fame defensive lineman Joe Greene fought back tears as his No. 75 was retired in a fitting tribute for a player who guided a franchise renaissance during a 13-year career that included four Super Bowl titles. Greene called the honour “overwhelming,” and it seemed awfully fitting that the Steelers selected a matchup with the Ravens to serve as the backdrop. In an era when defences ceded the balance of power to the offence, Pittsburgh and Baltimore feels like a throwback. Nine of the previous 11 meetings have been decided by a field goal or less, though the Ravens romped 26-6 in Week 2, emerging from a chaotic few days that included the team cutting ties with running back Ray Rice following the release of a casino elevator video that showed him striking his fiancee, now his wife. The storm seemed to galvanize the Ravens, who were rolling until a stumble at Cincinnati last week. It also marked a familiar pattern of uneven play by the Steelers that they have only recently shaken. One that now seems a distant memory.

Heat hold off Raptors for 16th straight win over Toronto BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Heat 107 Raptors 102 MIAMI — So much for Miami needing time to find its way with a rebuilt roster. The Heat are the last unbeaten team in the Eastern Conference. Chris Bosh scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Dwyane Wade added 19 points and Miami beat Toronto 107-102 on Sunday night, the 16th straight win for the Heat over the Raptors. “The guys, they see how our team will have to play to be successful,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Wade also finished with 11 rebounds and seven assists for the Heat (3-0). Luol Deng scored 18 points, Shawne Williams added 16 and Mario Chalmers finished with 12 for Miami. DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points for Toronto (2-1), which hasn’t beaten Miami since Jan. 27, 2010. “They executed well, especially down the stretch,” DeRozan said. “We’ve got to understand when we play against a good team they’re going to play well down the stretch.” It’s hard to see why DeRozan lauded Miami’s late execution. The Heat shot 4-for-17 in the fourth quarter and missed eight free throws in the final 12 minutes. And they won. “This is all going to help us later,” Wade said. Kyle Lowry added 22, including a layup that got the Raptors within four with 21 seconds left. Jonas Valanciunas scored 14 and Greivis Vasquez finished with 12 for Toronto, which was outrebounded 43-28. “I guess it’s just effort,” Bosh said. “We know a lot of people aren’t expecting us to do much on the boards.” Miami led by as many as 16 late in the third quarter before the Raptors came roaring back, starting with a 6-0 run to close the third and get within 10. Toronto got within six twice midway through the fourth, before Shawne Williams made a pair of big plays for Miami. He tipped in a missed 3-point try by Mario Chalmers for an eight-point lead and after DeRozan’s 3-pointer with 5:23 left got Toronto within five, he answered with a 3 of his own from the left corner to restore Miami’s cushion. Lowry had a chance to get Toronto within five again when he was fouled on a 3-pointer with about 2 minutes left, but missed two of the three tries. The Raptors missed 15 free throws on the night, after missing a total of 16 in their first two games. “At the defensive end, it’s from start to finish,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “You don’t just guard for 23 seconds. You guard for 24 and then come up with the rebound. We’re not doing that right now.” TIP-INS Raptors: Drake, the team’s most recognizable fan, was courtside. ... The Raptors shot 39 free throws and now have a 120-79 edge over opponents in that department so far in this young season. ... Patrick Patterson got the start at forward in place of Amir Johnson, who was out with a sore left ankle. Heat: F Josh McRoberts had to leave the game in the fourth quarter — not because of injury, but because he tore off his jersey. He was quickly issued a replacement. ... .Miami was without F Chris Andersen (sore ribs) and F Udonis Haslem (sore quadriceps). ... Miami used 11 players in the first half and each scored. ... Wade played in both ends of the back-to-back, something he did only three times last season.

Lightning strikes thrice WIN THIRD STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP WITH CITY DIVISION FINAL WIN OVER RAIDERS BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Lightning 44 Raiders 13 The Hunting Hills Lightning were spitting mad heading into the Central Alberta High School Football League City Division championship game Saturday at Great Chief Park. Later, they were all smiles after shocking the Lindsay Thurber Raiders 44-13 in a contest that was billed as basically a ‘pick-em’ with the Raiders — following two regular-season wins over Hunting Hills — perhaps even slight favourites. “We were playing angry. We wanted this,” said Lightning quarterback Brett Barrett, who completed six of 12 passes for 129 yards and three touchdowns. “They (Raiders) had a lot of confidence going into this and they were showing it on social media. We played with a lot of anger and it worked out for us.” The Lightning scored on their first two possessions Saturday and were already well on their way to winning their third straight title. Barrett hit Tanner Olstad with a 43-yard touchdown pass just 3:09 into the contest, and the quarterback dove into the end zone from one yard out for another major late in the first quarter that capped a long drive. On their ensuing possession, the Raiders punted and then got a break when they recovered a fumble at the Hunting Hills 40-yard line, the ball bouncing off the back of a Lightning player. But they followed by turning it over on a failed third-and-four attempt. The Raiders’ problems continued early in the second quarter than quarterback Ben Pasiuk fumbled at the Lindsay Thurber 48-yard stripe. The Thurber defence held and forced a punt, but the offence couldn’t move out from the shadows of the goalpost

and conceded a safety to give Hunting Hills a 16-0 lead. From there, the Raiders fumbled a punt return that was recovered by the Lightning and led to a four-yard scoring run by Hunting Hills running back Brandt Burzuk, and the eventual champs padded their lead with 1:11 left in the first half when Barrett tossed a 15-yard scoring strike to Olstad. With Hunting Hills up 30-0 at halftime, it was basically game, set and match. “Our coach (Kyle Sedgwick) didn’t have to say much before the game,” said Barrett. “We’d been waiting all week to get another chance at these guys. We were angry after the first two losses and we came out and played hard. “Our defence held them to zero points in the first half and our offence was clicking. It was a process through the year to get it to where it was today. It was awesome. It feels really good.” The Raiders blew a scoring chance early in the third quarter, as a fumble recovery at the Hunting Hills 45-yard line eventually got them to within one yard of the end zone. But a high snap forced the Raiders back to the 11 and they turned the ball over on a third-down gamble. The Lightning promptly marched from their own fouryard line down the length of the field, capping the impressive charge with Barrett’s third touchdown pass of the game to Olstad — a 26-yard toss — that upped the count to 37-0 with 47 seconds remaining in the quarter. “We picked a bad time to have one of those games,” said Lindsay Thurber head coach Dave Smith. “We saved up all of our mistakes for one game. You can’t make that many mistakes in a championship game and expect to win.” The Raiders finally got on the board when Brad Pope ran five yards to paydirt four

The ensuing two-point conversion attempt failed. Hunting Hills running back Jin Ahn closed out the scoring with a 13-yard touchdown run with 2:16 remaining in the game and the rout was complete. “Honestly, I don’t know if we saw this coming,” said Sedgwick. “We definitely learned from the two losses to them this year. Defensively we just had to trust each other, which is something we didn’t do in our first two games against Thurber and because of that we played slow against them. “They have some weapons. They have very good players and we were always afraid of getting caught on a big play. But we just trusted our system on defence today, and then on offence we put a pretty good game plan together and I don’t think we could have executed it much better in the first half.”

Burzuk was a differencemaker for the Lightning, rushing for 205 yards on 19 carries. Olstad caught three passes — all for touchdowns — for 72 yards. Pasiuk completed eight of 21 passes for 97 yards and was the Raiders’ top rusher with 98 yards on 13 carries. Pope gained 97 yards on 14 trips. “In the second half Thurber left nothing in the tank, and give them credit,” said Sedgwick. “They came out and played hard that whole second half and I think it was tough for our guys to match that, which is kind of human nature. “But we came out and used emotion correctly instead of letting nerves take over. We relied on our experience. For our Grade 12s, this was their third league final they’ve played in, so they have that experience and know how to prepare for a big game and they used that today.” The Raiders, meanwhile, struggled from the opening kickoff.

“We had trouble with getting guys on the same page, and there was just a lot of mental errors,” said Smith. “They (Lightning) played well, that’s the other thing. They moved the ball on us. “I thought we rallied a bit in the second half, we started moving the ball. Overall, we had a good season and I’m proud of my kids.” The Lightning and Raiders were also playing for the right to represent Central Alberta in tier 2 provincial play and Hunting Hills will visit Okotoks Foothills this Saturday. Also on Saturday afternoon, the Notre Dame Cougars will host Calgary Henry Wise Wood in a provincial tier 1 quarterfinal and the Sylvan Lake Lakers will entertain Cold Lake in a tier 3 quarter-final. The Lakers captured the Central Alberta League Rural Division crown Saturday with a 34-0 thumping of the host Camrose Trojans. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Lightning girls looking to spark provincial run BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR The Hunting Hills Lightning volleyball girls, in the opinion of Grade 12 setter Emma Delemont, need to deal with some emotional and physical issues if they hope to qualify for the provincial championship tournament later this month. “We’ve been doing all right this season, we just have a hard time getting back up after losing points,” said Delemont, whose club lost 23-25, 1725 to Edmonton Harry Ainlay in Saturday’s bronze-medal match of the Hunting Hills senior tournament. “Our energy sometimes gets low and when that happens our passing is off. If we improve that, we’ll be OK.” The Lightning, whose other starters are Libero Jill McAllister, powers Erika Pearson and Jaedyn Paarup, middles Nicole Fischer and Bailey Beingessner, and right side Cherisse Johannson, are 2-1 in Central Alberta League play this season, with both wins coming over Notre Dame and their lone loss to Lindsay Thurber. “Thurber is the team we’re going to have to beat to go to provincials,” said Delemont, who has failed to get to the provincial high school tour-

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL nament each of the last two years. “I really want to make it to provincials this year,” she insisted. “And I definitely feel we have the potential to get there. We can play really well if our energy is up. That’s our problem. We just have to keep our energy up. “Our hitting is strong, but one thing we can work on is our coverage for blocking.” The remainder of the Lightning roster consists of Lexi Baron, Payton Watts, Morgan Whitbread and Kristen Loney. Lindsay Thurber took top honours in the Hunting Hills tournament with a 25-22, 25-23 win over Lethbridge Chinook in the girls championship final. The Raiders downed Harry Ainlay 3-2 in one semifinal, prevailing 21-25, 26-24, 25-14, 25-27, 15-13, and Chinook beat Hunting Hills 3-2 in the other, winning 20-25, 25-18, 20-25, 2521, 15-7. ● Spruce Grove defeated Harry Ainlay 3-0 in the boys gold-medal match, winning 27-25, 25-20, 15-7, and Okotoks Foothills was a 25-22, 25-22 winner over Chinook in the bronze-medal game. The Lightning boys had to settle for ninth place after defeating Grande Prairie Charles

JUNIOR B HOCKEY ROUNDUP The Red Deer Vipers (3-71) early season struggles continued this weekend as they dropped their lone Heritage Junior B Hockey League contest 8-6 to the Medicine Hat Cubs (7-6-1) on Saturday in Red Deer. Austin Galipeau had two goals and four assists for Medicine Hat while Colby Sadler, Tarce Sperle, Keegan Bartram, Brandon Sahl, Josh Dorn and Keanan Kustra also scored for the Cubs. Cole Schafer made

42 saves for the win. The Vipers replied with two goals from Nick Glackin and one each from Justin Moltzahn, Colton Weseen, Dustin Sperling and Jonathan Finnigan. Rylan Bardick allowed six goals on 23 shots before being pulled after 37:25, Lane Coughlan stopped eight of 10 shots the rest of the way. The Cubs got out to a 7-3 lead before the Vipers started to rally with three goals in the final period, but the hole was

Spencer 25-21, 27-25, and so far their season hasn’t exactly been a success. “We’re not having a great season,” said head coach TJ Hartel. “We don’t have a lot of young players, but we’re inexperienced as a team. We don’t have the true volleyball players, just good athletes. “There weren’t huge expectations coming into the season, but we do compete at a very high level. We just haven’t got the results we were hoping for.” The Lightning are 0-4 in league play this fall, having lost twice to both Notre Dame and Lindsay Thurber. The team finished third in zone playoffs last year, but Hartel feels his squad can improve over the next few weeks. “For sure, I think we have a shot at competing with the other two teams in Red Deer,” he said. “It’s going to come down to all of the pieces falling into place. “We’re full of potential. It’s just a matter of meeting it.” The Lightning starters are middles Jackson Osborne and Steel McDonald, left sides Blayne Friesen and Blake Thomson, setter Parker Booth, Libero Matt Lyons and right side Ky McLachlin. too big to dig all of the way out of. The Vipers are in Stettler on Friday to play the Lightning (5-7-2) at 7:30 p.m. and host the Coaldale Copperheads (11-3-1) on Saturday at the Red Deer Arena at 8 p.m. ● The Three Hills Thrashers (9-4-0) edged the Stettler Lightning 6-5 at the Stettler Recreation Centre on Saturday, scoring two goals in the final period for the win. Patrick Fougere had the hat trick for the Thrashers while Tyler Newsham, Dru Hickle and Luke Scheunert all added singles. Greg Pols made 22

Kings rally late for win over Rattlers BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Kings 69 Rattlers 68 Jacob Cusmano really hates losing. After the Red Deer College Kings blew an 11-point lead to the Medicine Hat College Rattlers on Friday to lose 71-65, the fifth year guard hardly slept at all. Images of his late three-point attempt to tie the game that was off the mark kept rolling through his mind. On Saturday morning for the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s basketball rematch, he got up early and was in the gym working on his shot before anyone else got there. The extra work paid off as he scored a team-high 18 points to rally the Kings from a 12-point third quarter deficit to a 69-68 win. “I couldn’t sleep last night, I just kept thinking about it over and over,” said Cusmano. “ I had to get back in the gym and redeem myself today and it worked.” The Kings needed it. After Friday’s collapse, the RDC coaching staff tried to change things up, including starting Cusmano on the bench. They trailed by three points at the half and then slipped further back in the third quarter. Kings head coach Clayton Pottinger scrapped those adjustments and RDC started to roll, outscoring MHC 22-12 in the fourth quarter. “I thought today we just didn’t give them as many opportunities in the fourth to hurt us and we executed a little bit better on the offensive end and had ball control,” he said. Brian Prenoslo was solid for RDC with eight points and 10 rebounds while Clay Marcelus also started to look more comfortable with the Kings after transferring in this off-season, posting 11 points and grabbing 14 rebounds and hit two key free throws down the stretch. “Marcelus was big for us,” said Pottinger. “All those little things, in a close game between tight teams, those things get magnified.” MHC was led by Desmond Slack who scored a game-high 21 points while Brazilian forward Guilherme Crabogiale added 17 points and six boards. Despite the comeback against Medi-

The Northstar Chiefs (4-3-2) fell 6-7 to the North West Calgary Athletic Association Bruins (2-5-0) on Saturday at the Red Deer Arena. Red Deer was led by Jeremy Klessens with two goals while Dylan Scheunert, Eric Pecharsky, Tyrell McCubbing and Nathan Dyck all scored once. Canon Whitbred made 24 saves. On Sunday, they fell 4-2 to the Canadian Athletic Club United Cycle Bulldogs (11-0-0) out of Edmonton with Kobe Williams and Seth Stratton scoring for Red Deer. Justin Travis made 53 saves in the loss. The Red Deer Aero Equipment Chiefs (1-7-0), meanwhile, lost 9-2 to the North West Calgary Athletic Association Stampeders (9-1-0) on Saturday with Joel Ray and Brenden Davidson scoring for Red Deer. Riley Katchuik allowed nine goals on 34 shots before being replaced by Shae Herbert for the final 15 minutes. Herbert stopped all 10 shots he faced. On Sunday the Aero Equipment Chiefs were in Calgary for the rematch and this time fell 6-3.Jarrett Brandon scored twice for Red Deer while Joel Ray tallied the other. Herbert stopped 29 of the 35 shots he faced for the Chiefs. Major midget female The Red Deer Optimist Chiefs (11-20-3) split their two Alberta Major Midget Female Hockey League games this weekend.

On Sunday, however, the Chiefs fell 5-3 to the Sherwood Park Fury at the Collicutt Centre. Breanna Martin scored twice for Red Deer while Abagael Thiessen popped in the other.

The problem was the other quarter may have been their worst of the young ACAC women’s basketball campaign as they fell 83-70 at RDC. The two teams went into halftime tied at 32-32, but Medicine Hat opened the third half with an 18-2 run and buried the Queens. “At halftime we talked about whoever came out stronger was going to win the game and that’s exactly what happened,” said Queens head coach Ken King, who was quite animated on the sidelines. “I know they’re working hard for us every single play, but ... it’s got to be better.” Ponoka freshman Morgan Dool continued her terrific start to the season for RDC with a game-high 23 points and 11 rebounds, while adding three steals and three assists. She has been the Queens most consistent player to this season, especially from an effort standpoint. Fellow rookie Cassidy Hollingsworth, out of Rocky Mountain House, also played well coming off the bench with 14 points, including going 3-for-6 from three-point range, in 19 minutes of work. “Cassidy Hollingsworth is going to be a star one day in this league,” said King. “She’s got an exceptional work ethic and an exceptional attitude, she comes from a small town but she doesn’t act or play like it, she’s got some real world life skills that are going to be a real asset to her.” The Rattlers were led by forward Kennedy Werre with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while guard Cierra Matsalla had 17 points and 14 rebound and Dakota Schacher had 18 points and seven boards. RDC continued to cut their mistakes down with only 15 turnovers on the afternoon, but their shot selection is still hurting them, finishing shooting 31.1 the Red Deer Elks 5-4 on Friday and the Edge School Mountaineers 4-0 in Calgary on Saturday. Mack Differenz, Jared Wright, Tanner Zentner, Logan Linell and Josh Bussard all scored for the Chiefs in Friday’s win over the Elks while Geordan Andrew made 29 saves for the win. Reid Sterling responded with two goals for the Elks while Kobe Scott and Tyler Wall also tallied. Carter Genreau stopped 17 of 22 shots before being replaced by Klayton Sandquist for the final period who stopped all three shots fired his way. In the Chiefs’ Sunday win Justin Anderson stopped all 17 shots he faced while Zentner scored twice for Red Deer. Bussard and Sam Danchek scored the other two goals. The Elks, meanwhile, lost 4-2 in Olds to the Grizzlys on Sunday as Scott and Brady Park scored for Red Deer. Sandquist allowed three goals on 13 shots before getting pulled for Carter Gendreau allowed on goal on 11 shots over the final 31 minutes. Major bantam The Red Deer Rebels White (3-8-1) swept their two Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League contests on the weekend, beating the Red Deer Rebels Black 6-0 on Saturday and the Southeast Athletic Club Tigers 3-1 in Medicine Hat on Sunday. On Saturday, Rylan Burns scored twice while Josh Tarzwell, Kyle Budvarson, Keenan Smith and Luke Bast scored for Rebels White while Justin Verveda picked up the shutout stopping all 24 shots he faced. Steven Arthur, meanwhile stopped 36 of the 42 shots he faced for Rebels Black (1-111). No stats were available for the Rebels White win in Medicine Hat (0-9-2). The Rebels Black, meanwhile lost 9-2 in Spruce Grove to the Saints (7-42) on Sunday with Josh McNeil scoring both of their goals. Wyatt Argent stopped 56 of the 65 shots he faced. Major bantam girls The Red Deer Sutter Fund Chiefs jumped out to a 3-1 lead and had to settle for a 4-4 draw with the host Edmonton Lightning Sunday. Megan Benoit scored twice for the Chiefs, who got single goals from Shaelynne Bilodeau and Kira Weddell. Winning netminder Mandi Fitzsimons made 25 saves. The Chiefs were outshot 29-23.

per cent from the field and 28 per cent from three point land. Some of that comes down to an in ability at times to create down low, with four shooters sitting in long range positions and no one cutting to the net. “I don’t know if it’s a difficulty in penetrating or a lack of willingness to do so,” said King. “In the second half we showed we could get by them

and we could get into the paint and we could draw fouls and make our shots inside. It just that a willingness to settle for threes is not something we want to do.” RDC is at Olds on Friday and then host the Broncos on Saturday with the women going at 6 p.m. and the men at 8 p.m. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Greszczyszyn, Kripps top podium at Canadian Bobsled and Skeleton Championships CALGARY — Dave Greszczyszyn successfully defended his men’s national skeleton title, while Justin Kripps completed a golden sweep of the bobsled podium at the Canadian Bobsled and Skeleton Championships on Sunday. The 35-year-old Greszczyszyn clocked the two fastest times of the day to win his second straight Canadian championship title. The Brampton, Ont. native posted a combined time of one minute 59.84 seconds on the 1,500-metre Olympic Track. “The first run I was a bit slow on the push maybe because it was the first race of year and I had some race jitters, but I did have a decent down time,” said the man known as “The Griz.”

BENTLEY GENERALS The Bentley Generals erupted for four third-period goals Sunday in a 6-2 Chinook Hockey League win over the visiting Okotoks Drillers. Giffen Nyren notched two goals for

“I knew I had to dig deep for the second run because it was really close. I felt really relaxed from the start and had a much better push. I just let the sled do as little as possible down the track.” Two Calgarians snagged the final two spots on the men’s skeleton podium. Barrett Martineau slid to the silver medal with a time of 2:00.63, while Greg Rafter bolted into the bronze medal position after clocking in at 2:00.66. Kripps, a 27-year-old bobseld pilot from Summerland, B.C., was fresh off his two-man victory Saturday when his crew of Calgary’s Lascelles Brown, Saskatoon’s Ben Coakwell, and Edmonton’s Bryan Barnett captured their first ever four-man title with a two-run time of 1:50.91. the Generals, with Scott Kalinchuk, Jason Lundmark, Torrie Dyck and Kyle Sheen also scoring for Bentley. Adrian Foster and Curtis Billsten replied for the Drillers. Dustin Butler turned aside 20 shots for the winners, while Gerry Festa made 30 saves for Okotoks.

Moore defends CIMB Classic title in Malaysia with 3-shot victory BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia â€” Ryan Moore knows how to finish a tournament, and how to start a season. For the second straight year, Moore won the CIMB Classic on Sunday, and for the third year running he won on the PGA Tourâ€™s fall schedule to get a flying start to the season, having also won the Shrinersâ€™ Hospitals for Children Open in October 2012. Moore shot a 5-under 67 for a three-stroke win, beating fellow American Gary Woodland for the second straight year. He finished on 17-under 271 at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club to become the first player to defend a title on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods at the Arnold Palmer Invitation in 2013. Sergio Garcia (69) and Kevin Na (70) shared a three-way tie for second with Woodland (67). Moore had eight birdies against three bogeys in the final round, and earned his fourth PGA Tour title with superb approach shots at the 14th and 17th holes for birdies, and some nerveless putting on the back nine. â€œIt was incredible to finish the way I did coming down those last few holes,â€? Moore said. â€œI like to tell myself all the time that â€™I am a closer. Letâ€™s just do what we can, hit good shots and letâ€™s close this thingâ€™ and I was able to do that.â€? What he wasnâ€™t able to do yet is work out why he wins tournaments early in a new season and not after. â€œIâ€™ve been thinking about that for a while trying to figure out why,â€? Moore said. â€œMaybe itâ€™s because the end is near. I see that Iâ€™m going to have six or seven weeks off pretty soon and itâ€™s like â€™itâ€™s the home stretch, just play some good golf and finish off the yearâ€™. â€œIâ€™ve got to figure that out and try to approach every tournament that way.â€? Woodland, who lost to Moore in a playoff at this tournament 12 months earlier, threatened to reverse that result by firing six birdies without a bogey over the first 15 holes to move within a shot of Moore. He had a birdie putt at 16 for a share of the lead that lipped out, and at 18 he had the chance for another birdie that would have upped the pressure on Moore, but missed it, and the close-range par putt. â€œThe par fives cost me all week,â€? Woodland said. â€œI played beautifully outside the par fives.â€?

Marcel Siem chips in for birdie and wins BMW Masters in a playoff BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SHANGHAI, China â€” Marcel Siem took the lead for the first time on the 16th hole Sunday and figured two pars would be enough for him to win the BMW Masters. He should have known it would never be that simple. A relentless wind at Lake Malaren turned the final round into a wild ride for just about everybody, and not even Siem was immune. The German finished the final round with two bogeys instead of two pars. And then he won a three-man playoff over Alexander Levy of France and Ross Fisher of England by chipping in for birdie from the collar of the 18th green. â€œThe course was a real monster, and Iâ€™m super pleased,â€? Siem said. â€œStill canâ€™t believe it. Iâ€™m over the moon.â€? Siem felt more pressure over an 8-foot par putt on the 18th to win in regulation. Facing the tougher situation â€” his shot with a 5-iron came up just short and hung in the collar â€” he felt he had nothing to lose and wound up winning. â€œI thought just to stay in the playoff, I have to hole it,â€? said Siem, who closed with a 1-over 73. â€œI was expecting one of the guys to hole the putt. Itâ€™s just fantastic. A chip-in is always cool, but to have it in a playoff is even cooler.â€? Levy had a four-shot lead to start the final round. He had to scramble for bogey on the 18th hole for a 78 to join the playoff. Fisher had a chance for the biggest comeback in European Tour history. He was 11 shots behind going into the last round, closed with a 67 and was the first to post at 16-under 272.

Raonic turns attention to World Tour Finals after losing Paris Masters title BY THE CANADIAN PRESS PARIS â€” Canadian Milos Raonicâ€™s most reliable weapon was turned back on him on Sunday. Raonic admitted that topranked Novak Djokovic handled his normally threatening serve with ease as the Serb defended his Paris Masters title with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over the native of Thornhill, Ont. â€œEvery time he put his racket on the ball, he was making me play a deep ball,â€? said the tenthranked Raonic. â€œIf he gave me a short return and I would attack, he would be there. It elevated a certain pressure or demand of having to serve close to the lines. â€œThat weighs on your shoulders when the guy is playing as well as he did today.â€? Despite the disappointing finish to the Masters tournament, Raonicâ€™s season has been extended. His play in Paris has helped him qualify for next weekâ€™s World Tour Finals in London for the first time. Djokovic, who did not drop a set during the whole week, won the indoor tournament for the third time on Sunday and claimed the 20th Masters title of his career. The Serbian limited his opponentâ€™s serve, with Raonic scoring only nine aces after reaching double figures in many of his matches this week. Djokovic also made a big step in his bid to finish the year at the No. 1 spot for a third time, extending his lead over Roger Federer before the finals in London from Nov. 9-16. The 23-year-old Raonic, who has never beaten Djokovic in their four meetings, appeared apprehensive and could not convert his few openings. Djokovicâ€™s only scare came in the first set when Raonic won eight straight points but failed to convert three consecutive break opportunities. Raonic saved the three break points in the sixth game, two of them with aces. Djokovic then recovered from 0-40 down to hold a game later for 5-2 before taking the opening set in 43 minutes. â€œThe key points of the match was to get as many returns back in play (as possible). Itâ€™s easier said than done when somebody serves regularly around 220 kilometres an hour,â€? said Djokovic. â€œMi-

He relies on the serve very much in his game. â€œIf you can make him play an extra shot, maybe heâ€™s going to drop the percentage of first serves and I can step in and maybe take initiative on the second.â€? Raonic dropped to 0-2 in the second set on a double-fault and saved two match points in the penultimate game with a service winner and a pass before Djokovic closed out the win a game later, firing a forehand winner down the line to clinch victory. â€œHe played some great tennis; neutralized my serve well,â€? said Raonic. â€œEven when I was able to open him on the backhand side, he was moving really well. He was always getting two hands on it. It was never sort of defending with a slice. â€œHe was always playing deep and didnâ€™t really give me too many looks. Even on the break chances I had, he played them well. He just made life difficult for me today.â€? Raonic, who won his first ca-

reer match against a member of the top three tennis elite in the quarter-finals when he upset Roger Federer, had backed up that success in the semis, beating fifthranked Tomas Berdych. But Djokovic was not going to be another victim. â€œI was feeling good about things,â€? said Raonic. â€œIn the last two matches, Iâ€™ve been playing some really good tennis. I felt ready to face on the challenge and try to make the most of the opportunity.â€? As he heads to his World Tour Finals debut, Raonic is nursing some minor doubts. â€œThe toughest thing â€” especially for the first time in London â€” is going to be to adapt to is not really having those early round matches where you sort of find your way into the event, tournament,â€? said Raonic. Raonic is the first Canadian to play in the year-ending singles tournament. Torontoâ€™s Daniel Nestor, playing with Serbian partner Nenad Zimonjic, will be in the doubles competition.

Park holds off Lewis to win in Taiwan BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NATURAL GAS PRESSURE WASHERS

TAIPEI, Taiwan â€” Six days after taking the No. 1 spot in the world from Stacy Lewis, Inbee Park was a notch above the American again at Miramar. Park won the LPGA Taiwan Championship on Sunday for her third victory of the year and 12th tour title, holding off Lewis by two strokes. The 26-yearold South Korean player closed with a 1-under 71 in light rain to finish at 22-under 266. The victory capped a hectic Asian trip centred around her marriage last month to swing coach Gi Hyeob-nam. â€œI think this will be my wedding gift for myself,â€? Park said. â€œItâ€™s a good feeling and maybe people who said, â€™Sheâ€™s not going to play as well as when she was not married.â€™ I think we can put that wrong.â€? Park shot 64-62-69 to take a four-stroke lead over Lewis and Chinaâ€™s Shanshan Feng into the final round. The second-ranked Lewis, also a three-time winner this year, shot 69. â€œI hung in there all day and just made Inbee work for it,â€? Lewis said. â€œThat was the goal. You give Inbee four shots, itâ€™s a tough task to overcome. She hit the shots when she needed to coming in.â€? After Lewis birdied the par-4 16th to pull within one, Park birdied the par-3 17th to regain her twostroke lead. Her only other birdies came on the first two holes and she bogeyed the last two holes on the front nine.

C1 LOCAL Hometown Hockey

MONDAY, NOV. 3, 2014

The weather did little to dampen the spirits of Red Deerians for the Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour festivities this past weekend. Families, hockey teams from every league, as well as the casual hockey fan packed the parking lot of the Red Deer Arena to take part in the celebration of the city’s proud hockey history. Activities kicked off at noon on both days, with fans lining up to have their picture taken with former NHLers Darcy Tucker, Jamie Macoun and Grant Fuhr. Children could take part in hockey games of all sorts, including box hockey, bubble hockey, road hockey and air hockey. After warming up with some free hot chocolate, attendees could take part in various skill competitions, testing

not only the accuracy of their shot, but how hard it was as well. An Xbox One station was open for all to try their hand at NHL15. On Sunday afternoon, the winner of the Cheer Like Never Before contest was decided, with the Express 24 Orange Tigers winning the chance to attend an NHL game and perform their cheer in the dressing room for the players. The festival ended in big way with an outdoor viewing party of the Calgary Flames versus the Montreal Canadiens, and take in the broadcast hosted by Red Deer native and Hockey Night in Canada personality, Ron MacLean.

Chahine said the new name will open up opportunities for the agency to provide services to all Red Deer residents. For more information, visit vantagecommunityservices.ca.

Sundre man to stand trial for charges from fatal collision A Sundre man has been ordered to stand trial on charges laid after a fatal collision near the James River Bridge

Carolyn Martindale, City Editor, 403-314-4326 Fax 403-341-6560 E-mail editorial@reddeeradvocate.com

more than two years ago. Brandon Wild, 26, is alleged to have been driving a vehicle that left Hwy 587 and rolled near the James River store, 80 km southwest of Red Deer, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 23, 2012. Sundre RCMP reported that there were two passengers in the vehicle with Wild at the time of the crash. Red Deer resident Amanda Kerrie Harlos, 19, died of injuries she suffered as a result of the crash. Harlos had recently graduated from the hospitality and tourism program at Red Deer College and was working at the Sheraton Hotel in Red Deer, with plans to follow her career path to Britain. Wild had pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing death and asked to be tried in the Calgary Court of Queen’s Bench with a preliminary hearing in Didsbury provincial court first. Preliminary hearings may be held in advance of a trial to test the strength of part or all of the Crown’s evidence before proceeding to trial. Wild’s hearing was held in Didsbury last week. His trial date will be set in Calgary.

FIERY FAILURES MAY PROVE THAT ROCKET SCIENCE NOT ROUTINE ENOUGH FOR COMMERCIAL FIRMS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Fiery failures are no stranger to the space game. It’s what happens when you push the boundaries of what technology can do, where people can go. And it happened again to Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo. In the past decade, the space industry has tried to go from risky and government-run to routine private enterprise — so routine that if you have lots of money you can buy a ticket on a private spaceship and become a space tourist. More than 500 people have booked a flight, including Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher and little known space scientist Alan Stern. But it all depends on flying becoming safe and routine. This week hasn’t helped. Three days after a private unmanned Orbital Sciences rocket taking cargo up to the International Space Station blew up six seconds into its flight, a test flight of SpaceShipTwo exploded Friday over the Mojave Desert with two people on board, killing one crew member. The developments reignited the debate about the role of business in space and whether it is or will ever be safe enough for everyday people looking for an expensive 50-mile (80-kilometre)-high thrill ride. “It’s a real setback to the idea that lots of people are going to be taking joyrides into the fringes of outer space any time soon,” said John Logsdon, retired space policy director at George Washington University. “There were a lot of people who believed that the technology to carry people is safely at hand.” The question for space tourism might be, “if it survives,” Logsdon said. But he thinks its momentum in recent years will keep it alive. Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson expressed the same view Saturday after arriving in Mojave, California, to meet with the project workforce reeling from the accident. “We would love to finish what was started some years ago, and I think pretty well all our astronauts would love us to finish it, love to go to space,” he said. “Millions of people in the world would love to one day have the chance to go to space.” Federal estimates of the commercial space industry —only a little of it involving tourism — exceed $200 billion. NASA is counting on private companies such as SpaceX and Orbital Sciences to haul cargo to the space station. They are also spending billions to help SpaceX and Boeing build ships that will eventually take people there, too.

Law enforcement officials take a closer look at the wreckage near the site where a Virgin Galactic space tourism rocket, SpaceShipTwo, exploded and crashed in Mojave, Calif. Saturday. The explosion killed a pilot aboard and seriously injured another while scattering wreckage in Southern California’s Mojave Desert, witnesses and officials said. Internet pioneers Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have gotten into the space game. Aviation entrepreneur Branson and others are pushing a billion-dollar space tourism industry. The Virgin Galactic and Orbital accidents have nothing in common except the words private space, Stern said. Still it raises issues about the space industry. Some experts said they worry that private industry may just not be as safe as the government when it comes to going into space. Jerry Linenger, a former astronaut who narrowly survived a 1997 fire on the Russian space station Mir, said private industry lacks the experience and the advocates for safety that NASA had when he was launching into space. He pointed to former moonwalking astronaut John Young, who NASA encouraged to raise safety issues and slow things down.

SHEEP IN THE STREETS

Watching the Orbital Sciences accident on Tuesday, Linenger said, “it was blatantly obvious that it is a dangerous operation that is very nearly on the edge,” yet private companies talk of doing it better, faster and cheaper. Then they find out that was naive, he said. American University space policy professor Howard McCurdy, who wrote the book “Space and the American Imagination,” said NASA in the 1990s and private companies tout lean management to get things done faster, better and cheaper in space. But he said that leaves no margin for error and “is like flying an airplane without a qualified pilot. You really need to do it right.” McCurdy pointed to all the Silicon Valley whiz kids in space and worried that they come with the same Microsoft attitude of pushing a product out and fixing it on the fly.

BRIEF Chinese manufacturing growth falls in October BEIJING — China’s manufacturing growth declined further in October amid a slowing economy and languishing global demand, according to a survey released Saturday. The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said its purchasing managers’ index dropped by 0.3 from September to 50.8. The index is a 100 point scale on which any number above 50 indicates an expansion of manufacturing. The deceleration reflects a slowing of China’s economic growth to a five-year low of 7.3 per cent in the third quarter of the year. “The small decline in the October PMI figure shows that economic growth still faces a certain amount of downward pressure,” federation analyst Zhang Liqun said in a report. Zhang said new government growth stabilizing policies unveiled in the third quarter were starting to have an effect in the real economy and would soon start to impact on PMI figures. “According to this forecast, PMI figures won’t go be trending downward in the long-term, nor will economic growth be trending downward in the long term,” Zhang said. Chinese leaders have said full-year economic growth may fall short of their 7.5 per cent target, but say that’s acceptable as long as inflation stays low and the economy continues to produce jobs. The World Bank has warned that growth could decline to close to 7 per cent next year, saying Beijing needs to promote competition and efficiency by reforming its labour and real estate markets along with its state-run financial system.

Shepherds lead their sheep through the centre of Madrid, Spain, Sunday. Shepherds have guided a flock of 2,000 sheep through Madrid streets in defense of ancient grazing, droving and migration rights increasingly threatened by urban sprawl and modern agricultural practices. Tourists and city-dwellers were surprised to see the capital’s traffic cut to permit the ovine parade to bleat bells clanking its way past the city’s most emblematic locations.

Gender investing differences persist With women controlling more of the world’s wealth and making significant gains in business and finance, one would expect that they also are making strides when it comes to investing. Some recent reports show there are differences in the ways the sexes approach investing, but those differences may not be as pronounced as once thought. A BMO Investorline study has found that only 68 per cent of women feel confident TALBOT when making investment decisions, compared with 83 per BOGGS cent of men. When Canadians were asked why women might lack confidence when investing, 83 per cent of respondents said they believe that investing has traditionally been viewed as a role for men, 58 per cent believe society is not as supportive of women investing as they are of men, and 48 per cent said that women are intimidated by investing. “History and society have not viewed men and women equally with respect to investing,” said Julie Barker-Merz, president of BMO Investorline. However, the times are changing. Women, for example, currently control one-third of all wealth in North America, and that figure is growing by eight

per cent a year. “Women are taking a larger role with the management of their own finances and we must work to understand and support the different approach that they take to investing and adjust to meet their needs,” Barker-Merz said. A report late last year by Merrill Lynch, which studied 11,500 investors, found that while men and women differ in their approach to investment decision-making, gender is less a determinant of investing success than other social, demographic and circumstantial factors. The report suggested that the basis of previous research, which has focussed on the investing behaviour of men versus women, has relied on stereotypes that are limiting in scope and the goal for researchers and advisers is to move away from gender comparisons and instead focus on women’s varied and unique perspectives. The report found that 85 per cent of women agree that risk-taking is beneficial and 81 per cent of women feel they can adapt to changing market conditions and investment outcomes. Men and women who have a similar level of financial knowledge share similar risk behaviour. The greatest differentiating factor among investors is their perceived financial knowledge. Women are more likely than men to say they have lower levels of financial knowledge. Fifty-per cent of women compared to 27 per cent of men agree they know less than the average investor about financial markets and investing.

Men and women almost equally want to be personally engaged in making investment decisions. “Our research reinforces the importance of concentrating on the unique, personal goals of each investor,” said Michael Liersch, head of behavioural finance for Merrill Lynch. “Doing so can identify a deeper understanding of the individual’s concerns and priorities, which may better align investments to achieve the outcomes the investor desires.” In the BMO study, women said they were focussed primarily on putting their money in safe investments and avoiding big losses, while men tended to focus on building and accumulating their wealth. “In general, female investors tend to be more reserved and much more focussed on looking at the big picture and planning for the future than their male counterparts,” Barker-Merz said. “There is a clear distinction between risk-averse and simply riskaware, and this is what we are learning about women and how to better support their journey.” Barker-Merz said women need to take on more responsibility to become more educated and confident investors, and the financial industry also has a role to play by helping women get the support they need to fulfil their financial goals. “We need to stop making assumptions and do a better job listening and learning,” she said.

Famed duck farming on Long Island fading Choppy trading D I L B E R T

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FLANDERS, N.Y. — When Brooklyn chef Jason Marcus talks about preparing Long Island duck, he can’t help salivating. “There’s a great balance between the fat and really, really, tender meat,” said the owner of trendy nightspots Traif and Xixa. “It is beautiful when you’re roasting it; the high fat content of the skin really bastes the meat as it cooks.” Once as synonymous with Long Island as Gatsby mansions, the Long Island duck is quietly fading into the history books. By the end of this year there will be only one duck farm left on Long Island; that’s down from a high of more than 100 in the early 1960s that produced up to 7.5 million succulent birds annually. Paul Massey, who runs the Chester Massey and Sons’ 26-acre farm in Eastport, says environmental regulations and rising costs for everything from electricity to feed to property taxes are forcing him to shut down his operations at the end of December. Once he closes, that will leave the Crescent Duck Farm in nearby Aquebogue as the last remaining Long Island duck farm. “It’s a sad thing,” Crescent owner Doug Corwin said. “When I got out of Cornell in 1980, there were still 20 or 25 duck farms and one by one I have seen them all disappear.” In the 1950s and ’60s, Long Island duck farms accounted for about twothirds of the nation’s duck output. The industry thrived because of Long Island’s abundance of freshwater streams, a friendly climate and proximity to Northeast metropolitan centres. Today, some of the farmers who once called Long Island home have relocated to larger tracts in Pennsylvania, Indiana and elsewhere. Indiana currently produces the majority of ducks; about 14 million of the 25 million produced annually in the United States. The 1970s-era Clean Water Act that stiffened regulations on the massive amounts of manure produced by the farms took a toll on duck production, as did higher feed costs and rising prices for farmland near the Hamptons — eastern Long Island’s summer playground for the rich and famous. “In New York state, the average acre of farmland costs $17,000,” Southampton town councilwoman Bridget Fleming said. “On the south fork of Long Island, it’s $100,000 and some properties can sell as high as over $200,000.”

Another factor was suburban sprawl bumping up against the grittiness that farm life inevitably brings. “They don’t smell real well,” conceded Geri Solomon, an assistant dean at Hofstra University who has studied the topic. Corwin, who serves high-end restaurants in Manhattan and throughout the country, said he has been able to survive in part because of a decision to construct a $3.5 million sewage treatment plant that processes the duck manure, preventing it from polluting local waterways. “It was a huge investment and something I hope I never have to do again,” Corwin said. Noise pollution, at least, isn’t a problem. All of Corwin’s ducks are kept inside brooding barns and there is an eerie quiet as one walks around the grounds, but open a door to one of the barns and the cacophony of thousands of quacking birds is deafening. Joseph Gergela, head of the Long Island Farm Bureau, says the demise of the ducks is part of the evolution of agriculture on the 120-mile-long island, with other historically entrenched commodities such as potatoes declining for years. The duck is still a recognizable icon on Long Island, where it has lent its name to a pair of sports franchise: a defunct hockey team and a minor league baseball team, and local residents strive to keep its legacy alive. A roadside edifice called The Big Duck sits on a former duck farm in the hamlet of Flanders. Having once graced a 1987 New Yorker magazine cover, the 20-foot-tall duck is one of Long Island’s best-known landmarks and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Inside, visitors can purchase duck memorabilia, obtain travel and tourism information, and perhaps learn a little about the legacy of the duck industry. Every December, the local community decorates the Big Duck with festive holiday lights and holds a “duck lighting ceremony” that is a small-town version of the Rockefeller Center tree lighting. Nearby, a group called “Friends of the Big Duck” has opened historic exhibits in an old Victorian barn. The exhibit features historical videos, a map of where more than 90 farms were located, and old incubators and other items used in duck “processing.” “It’s very important for me to preserve the heritage of the east end agriculture and duck farming,” said Lisa Dabrowski, co-curator of the exhibit. “My grandfather was a duck farmer. It’s sad. I miss the old days.”

likely this week DOLLAR MARKETS LOOK AHEAD BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Toronto stock market is in for more choppy trading this week amid a heavy slate of earnings and economic data and an investment climate without massive stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve. “It’s just going to be a flood of news coming out,” said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets. “It will be interesting to see (if) the markets can build on that. (Or) are the markets just going to top out again and come back down?” Traders will digest the latest reading on U.S. manufacturing and factory orders and find out if the European Central Bank plans more stimulus aimed at staving off recession in the eurozone. Canadian data includes manufacturing shipments. And at the end of the week, employment data for the U.S. and Canada will be released. Meanwhile, it’s a heavy week for earnings, with reports from heavyweights including Talisman Energy (TSX:TLM), TransCanada Corp. (TSX:TRP), Enbridge (TSX:ENB), insurers Sun Life (TSX:SLF) and GreatWest Lifeco (TSX:GWO), Tim Horton’s (TSX:THI), Air Canada (TSX:AC.B) and Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ). The TSX ended last week ahead 69 points or 0.5 per cent as stocks continue to claw back some of the losses racked up during a sell-off that peaked mid-October. The Dow industrials fared much better, gaining 585 points or 3.5 per cent and actually ending the week at a new record high. But the Toronto market is weighed down by the resource sector, with the gold component in particular taking a hammering last week. It lost a good 15 per cent as bullion prices fell sharply in the wake of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement that it would end its massive bond purchases, or quantitative easing, at the end of October. The showing last week left the Toronto market down 7.25 per cent from its early September highs, although still ahead 7.1 per cent year to date.

Cieszynski said it will be tough for the Toronto market to improve on its performance because of weakness in the commodity sectors. The energy sector has also been losing ground as oil prices try to find a floor around US$80 a barrel amid lower demand and rising supplies. South of the border, Cieszynski said that with New York indexes recovering all or most of the losses sustained during the fall retracement, it’s tough to see a catalyst that would lift these markets further. “We’ve already had the rally in the last couple of weeks,” he observed. “The U.S. isn’t stimulating any more, the earnings are OK but they’re not a total barn burner and there have been enough misses that you have to wonder — and the longer you wait, the closer the interest rate hikes come (from the Fed).” On the economic front, traders are particularly anxious to see how job creation held up in Canada and, especially the U.S., in October. U.S. job growth has been pegged at 228,000, slightly lower than the September gain of 248,000 with the jobless rate holding steady at 5.9 per cent. At the same time, markets may be at a point where good economic data can be viewed in a negative light as it raises concerns that the Fed could act on upping interest rates sooner than thought. “That’s kind of the environment that I think we are in right now,” said Philip Petursson, director of institutional equities at Manulife Asset Management. “ It’s a guessing game as to how is the Fed going to view this data.” But he also pointed out that the Fed has a problem in raising rates. While it would like to raise rates closer to more historic norms, economic weakness in the rest of the world makes this difficult. “Just imagine the reaction in the currency markets if the Fed indicated they were going to start raising rates when the rest of the world was cutting. That actually hurts U.S. businesses — 46 per cent of S&P 500 earnings come from outside the U.S. so this is a headwind.”

NEWS IN BRIEF

Cogeco reports ’solid’ 2014 financial results MONTREAL — Cogeco Cable Inc (TSX:CCA) is reporting an increase in profits for its 2014 fiscal year. The Montreal based company says it turned in earnings of $209.4 million for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31 compared to $184.9 million for fiscal 2013. The profit figures are after interest, taxes depreciation and amortization were factored in. Cogeco says its revenue for its fourth quarter was up by 4.2 per cent or $19.8 million and 15.1 per cent or $255.1 million for the overall fiscal year. Cogeco President and CEO Louis Audit says describes the financial performance as solid and attributes it to effective cost control and organic growth in its Canadian and American cable businesses and its data services.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne has wrapped up a weeklong trade trip to China, and her office is trumpeting what it says are deals for nearly $1 billion in new investment in the province. It says on the final day of the mission on Saturday the premier inked an agreement with Chinese telecom giant Huawei to create up to 325 new jobs in the next five years. Wynne’s office says the trade journey to the Asian economic powerhouse will add 1,800 jobs in Ontario. Along for the ride were about 60 Ontario firms, including companies focused on companies focused on science and technology and energy efficiency.

Ebola false alarms could clog E.R.s DOCTORS ADVISING PEOPLE TO GET A FLU SHOT

Health spending increase this year smallest in 17 years BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The cost of health care in Canada will go up this year, but the increase is expected to be the smallest in the past 17 years, a new report suggests. The report on healthcare spending in Canada estimates that total health expenditures will rise by only 2.1 per cent, or $61 more per person compared to last year’s health costs. Spending on drugs has flattened out. And concerns about the cost of a greying population on the health system aren’t currently driving costs up in a significant way, according to the report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information. At this point, the institute says, population aging is only increasing costs by just under one per cent per year — 0.9 per cent. The trend is expected to change incrementally over the next two decades, the CIHI report says. “While concerns regarding demographics are understandable — Canadians over the age of 65 account for less than 15 per cent of the population but consume more than 45 per cent of provinces’ and territories’ health-care dollars — the share of public-sector health dollars spent on Canadian seniors has not changed significantly over the past decade,” Brent Diverty, CIHI’s vice-president for programs, said in a press release. The report notes that in 2012, per person spending for seniors ranged broadly, from $6,368 per person for those aged 65 to 69 to $21,054 per person per year for those aged 80 or older. The low end of that scale isn’t far off what the report says Canada will pay per person in general in 2014, $6,045. Canada is expected to spend just under $215 billion this year on health care. That equates to 11 per cent of the country’s gross domestic product. That spending level puts Canada tied for seventh with Denmark among the countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the OECD. Canadian spending trails that of the United States, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Germany and Austria. The public purse

picks up about 70 per cent of the cost of health care in Canada. The remaining 30 per cent comes from out-ofpocket payments by individuals and private health insurance. That 70-30 cost breakdown has been relatively constant over the past 20 years, the report says. Hospitals make up about 30 per cent of health-care spending, $63.5 billion. Drugs and doctors come next, at 16 and 15 per cent respectively, or $33.9 billion and $33.3 billion. Drug costs, once a major driver of expenditure increases, have stabilized, growing by only 0.8 per cent in 2014, the

report says. “Drug expenditures are slowing down,” Diverty says. “With generic pricing control policies for the pharmaceutical industry, the expiration of patents on prevalent medications and fewer new drugs entering the market, we are seeing what amounts to flattened growth.” The three territories, which often have to fly residents south for medical care, spend substantially more per person than provinces do. Nunavut will spend the most, at just over $13,160 a person, while Quebec is expected to spend the least, at just $5,616 per person.

some concern about anybody with symptoms that could be Ebola because it’s so much in the news right now,” said Koenig, director of public health preparedness at the University of California in Irvine. That means a patient with the flu could trigger a full-court press in the ER, including isolating the patient and ER staff grabbing the hazmat suits until Ebola is ruled out. Ebola was among hot topics at the meeting, and hundreds packed sessions on how to handle a disease they most likely will never have to treat. Only four people have been diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, and experts doubt that Ebola will become widespread in this country. But if more Ebola cases do occur, getting vaccinated against the flu now “would make the screening process a lot easier,” said Dr. Daniel Bachmann, an emergency medicine physician at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center. So far, flu activity is low nationwide and only one death has been reported, in a child earlier this month.

But unlike Ebola, flu contributes to thousands of U.S. deaths each year and many more hospitalizations. And unlike Ebola, there’s a vaccine to protect against the flu, recommended annually for adults, teens and children starting at 6 months of age. So when patients express fears about Ebola, Bachmann tells them, “Go get your flu shot.” Flu vaccination rates are low; a little over half of eligible U.S. children and teens and just 42 per cent of adults got vaccinated in the 2012-13 flu season, CDC data show. While there have been reports of scattered flu vaccine shortages this fall due to delayed vaccine shipments, seven manufacturers have estimated that as many as 156 million doses — an adequate supply — will be available this flu season, said CDC spokeswoman Erin Burns. “As of Oct. 17, 2014, manufacturers reported having shipped 117.8 million doses of flu vaccine,” she said. Flu season often begins in October, peaks between December and February and then tapers off.

CHICAGO — Fever? Headache? Muscle aches? Forget about Ebola — chances are astronomically higher that you have the flu or some other common bug. That message still hasn’t reached many Americans, judging from stories ER doctors and nurses swapped this week at a Chicago medical conference. Misinformed patients with Ebola-like symptoms can take up time and resources in busy emergency rooms, and doctors fear the problem may worsen when flu season ramps up. That’s one reason why doctors say this year it’s especially important for patients to get their flu shots: Fewer flu cases could mean fewer Ebola false alarms. “The whole system gets bogged down, even if it’s a false alarm,” Dr. Kristi Koenig said during a break at the American College of Emergency Physicians’ annual meeting. Since the first Ebola diagnosis in the U.S., on Sept. 30 in a Liberian man treated in Dallas, doctors say they’ve had to reassure patients with many fears but none of the risk factors. Examples shared by those attending

the meeting include: —An Ohio patient who thought she had Ebola because her husband had worked in Dallas, but not with the Ebola patient. —A New Mexico woman who sought ER testing for Ebola because she had visited Africa two years ago. —Two Alabama patients who worried they were infected after travelling through an airport in Atlanta, the same city where Ebola patients were treated. Those Alabama patients had intestinal symptoms but no contact with Ebola patients nor recent travel to Ebola-plagued countries in West Africa, and they were sent home after doctors consulted with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Dr. David Pigott, an emergency medicine specialist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Flu and other airborne diseases can be transmitted by indirect contact with infected people. By contrast, the only way to get Ebola is through direct contact with blood, vomit and other body fluids from Ebola patients, experts say. While Ebola can be quickly ruled out for many patients by asking about recent travel to West Africa and contact with Ebola patients, “there’s still

C5 RDSO provides twice the thrills

Two pianos provided twice the thrills at the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra’s Something Old and Something New concert — especially since Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann were the gifted soloists. The husband and wife pianists from White Rock, B.C. demonstrated an extraordinary ability to seamlessly blend their playing, much like the Everly Brothers LANA could harmoMICHELIN nize two voices, to sound like one rich instrument. Seated at opposite ends of two grand pianos at the Red Deer College Arts Centre on Saturday night, the Bergmanns started out with Francis Poulenc’s Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in D Minor. The work borrows from French cafe tunes as well as Balinese percussive music, but ends up transcending both genres to become

REVIEW

SOMETHING OLD AND SOMETHING NEW CONCERT something else — an inventive piece that steers from meditative to playful. This was demonstrated in an intro segment when RDSO music director Claude Lapalme asked the pianists to compare the Balinese original music to Poulenc’s rendering of it, which turned out to be very impressionistic, indeed. Poulenc’s talent for writing engaging melodies and the Bergmanns’ ability to create multi-layered harmonies led to moments of staggering beauty, where the undulating notes flowed like a rippling stream. The Concerto later moved into more Stravinsky-like territory. When handled by the intuitive Bergmanns, these discordant sections sounded expressive and as bold as an exclamation mark. The former Calgarians, both international prize winners, also played off each other and the orchestra to exciting effect on their second piece — the world premiere of Urban Pulse. An orchestral version was created by Marcel Bergmann from one of his original piano compositions from 2005. It was a crowd pleaser, with hints of Gershwin works such as Rhapsody in

Blue and An American in Paris. The Bergmanns would often start out playing different melodies that somehow merged into a single tempo. Their piano parts either alternated with the orchestra, or were heard with just percussive or strings instruments, or horns. Since Urban Pulse is underpinned by jazzy strains, the trumpet figured prominently in the dynamic composition that eventually built to a busy climax, with the soloists and orchestral musicians creating the aural equivalent of a traffic jam. The work was a definite hit — earning a rousing standing ovation from the audience, and second curtain call for the two talented pianists. The Bergmanns, as RDSO music director Claude Lapalme pointed out, “really love music,” and their enthusiasm was contagious. Another original work was also on Saturday’s program — Lapalme’s Fantasie on French Canadian Themes, an adaptation of two folk tunes for fiddle and hurdy-gurdy. The beginning and end resounded with toe-tapping, homespun fiddle

tunes, while the middle had a Cinemascopic feel — as if the soundtrack for a gregarious dance scene in a musical like Oklahoma! The short work was the opposite of weighty, providing plenty of fun for listeners. But as Lapalme warned, the string section got a real workout with this demanding composition. And the difficulty didn’t stop there. Another tricky work finished the evening — Zoltan Kodaly’s Dances of Galanta. Based on the composer’s memories of his childhood village, the piece borrows from Hungarian folk tunes as well as Gypsy music. Lapalme noted it’s always hard to separate one from the other, but why bother when the combined effect is so charming? The RDSO’s violin section was, once again, called upon to deliver most of the work’s passion, with frenetic playing that built to an impossibly fast tempo before unexpectedly switching gears to become lighthearted — or even comic. Whatever emotions were needed, the orchestra was able to summon them, providing a highly entertaining evening of virtuosic playing. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

‘Nightcrawler’ and ‘Ouija’ tie for lead at box office BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — In a scary close finish, the Jake Gyllenhaal crime thriller Nightcrawler and the board-game adaptation Ouija tied for first at the box office with $10.9 million each over the Halloween weekend. That was according to estimates Sunday from each film’s distributor. Studios can predict a film’s Sunday performance with fairly accurate precision. When final figures are announced Monday, one film will likely slightly edge out the other. For Open Road’s low-budget Los Angeles noir Nightcrawler, it was a strong debut considering its creepy, unconventional protagonist. Gyllenhaal plays an ambulance-chasing man who shoots gory footage for the local news. The independent, R-rated film was able to capitalize on a weekend the studios were frightened away from. With Halloween falling on a Friday, trick-or-treating cannibalized one of the most lucrative moviegoing nights of the week. Grosses were down 40 per cent Friday from the same weekend a year ago, according to box-office tracker Rentrak. “Most studios know when Halloween falls on a Friday, usually they’re not good days,” said Universal’s distribution head, Nikki Rocco. “People party. It’s a holiday, and it’s not a moviegoing holiday.” Open Road’s estimate for Nightcrawler was technically $8,760 above Universal’s number for Ouija. But that tiny margin may not hold up when receipts from Sunday are counted. Other studios had Ouija as narrowly edging Nightcrawler. “We’ve seen squeakers over the years but this is one of the closest ones I’ve ever seen,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak. “It’s a testament to the holding power of Ouija”’ Despite the Halloween night impact, Ouija dropped only 45 per cent after topping the box office last weekend. That’s unusually low for a microbudget horror film, most of which see interest wane considerably after opening. But Universal opened the horror film a weekend ahead of Halloween to give it a two-week window. The close contest added drama to

Said Dergarabedian: “The scariest thing about this weekend was that Halloween fell on a Friday.” Next weekend will be a far different story, though, with the highly anticipated release of Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic Interstellar, as well as Disney’s animated superhero film Big Hero 6. In the meantime, the Brad Pitt World War II tale Fury held in third place with $9.1 million in its third week of release. In its fifth week, the Ben Affleck thriller Gone Girl also remained in fourth with an additional $8.8 million to its $136.6 million cumulative total to make it the highest grossing release of director David Fincher’s career.

High school is tough for short freshman Dear Annie: I am a 14-year-old high school freshman who is depressed about my future. As a result of my premature birth, I have a heart defect and lung problems and am very small for my age. Recently, my family went to a local park. It was humid, and I was so worn out that my older brother let me ride on his back. Some classmates saw me and thought it was funny, so now all the kids at school have nicknamed me “Baby.” But what really depresses me is the thought that I’m alMITCHELL ways going to be smaller than & SUGAR my peers. My doctor estimates I probably won’t grow taller than 5-foot-1. I want to be a normal teenager. I want a girlfriend and to have fun hanging out with my friends. Our school is having a freshman dance. I want to take a date, but every girl I have asked has turned me down, and some have even laughed at me. One female friend told me girls think I’m cute, but they’d be embarrassed to be seen with me. I am scared this is how things are always going to be for me. I don’t want to live a lonely life. I want to have kids someday. I have had fleeting thoughts of

suicide, but I would never do that to my family. Any advice on how I can make myself taller so girls will stop seeing me as a little kid? —Too Small Dear Too Small: We won’t lie to you. It is more difficult for men of small stature to attract women, but it isn’t impossible. First, you have to meet girls who are more mature than 14-year-olds who are overly concerned with appearances. You’ll have better luck out of high school. In the meantime, develop your personality so you are attractive to someone who is interested in a kind, decent, intelligent guy with a good sense of humor, no matter how tall he is. And for inspiration, consider all the male celebrities who are not exactly towering over you -- guys like Prince, Jon Stewart, Tom Cruise, Martin Scorsese, Kevin Hart, Josh Hutcherson, Ringo Starr, Dustin Hoffman, Spud Webb, George Stephanopoulos, Paul Simon, James Madison and Seth Green. Their height didn’t stop them. Dear Annie: My parents divorced 10 years ago. My two sisters and I, all in our 30s, reacted very differently when Dad recently remarried. I was delighted to see him with someone who makes him happy. His new wife is a pleasant lady who is nice to us and fully understands that she is not our mother. My sisters, however, declared that they want nothing to do with his new wife, although they’ll keep seeing Dad. I told them their attitude is silly, child-

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might feel like anything you say or do will be held against you in a court of law today. Your ruling planet is almost out of the shadow period, hold tight for now. Simply take action towards that which you know needs to be adjusted now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will be level headed today. Those within your daily life and at work will help you see what needs to be changed for you at home, or perhaps on a soul level. There is great opportunity to make those minor re-adjustments, identified yesterday, at home today. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will definitely have an effect on those within your local environment today. Perhaps you are at some rally, or protest. Others will definitely listen intently to all you say and will follow suit. You, out of all signs, will have that realistic and authentic presence about you today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An understanding of your personal worth will be acknowledged. You will see this truth through the interactions with those within your home environment and with family. A more serious and realistic approach will be taken and this will increase your finances. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is great opportunity for you to implement those changes needed for you to approach the dreams you set out for yourself now. Through conversations with friends, you’ll be able to see a more realistic and sober appraisal of these required re-adjustments. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The observations of yesterday are the actions you will take today. Yes, there are certain actions that will need more time to sort through, but do use today’s energy to get you aligned with them. You will be able to make more realistic decisions today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The perspective you have today will be realistic, although you might feel it hinders you from taking action towards your dreams. It is helping you align with those true aspirations now. There is great opportunity to make those minor adjustments to re-align yourself.

Monday, Nov. 3 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Roseanne, 62; Anna Wintour, 65; Dennis Miller, 61 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: There is a great opportunity for you to make those changes that were highlighted yesterday, in order to move you along your rightful path. It could be difficult, as these issues will be presented within your immediate environment. You take a more realistic stance and will now want to take action to find proper balance. Deal with those issues you know need to change. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: If today is your birthday, this year will LARISA MAIRA prove to be the year OZOLINS when you start to truly speak up for yourself. Some changes will need to be implemented at work, or with those found on your daily routine. You will no doubt want to express this truth and will think about these changes for the first start of the year. You will have enough energy and will express this truth in all your actions. ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is a great opportunity for you to make some great changes for yourself on a professional level today. Let go of any past issues — step up and shine bright. You have that realistic approach needed to make stable choices going forward. So, do so, it will pay off! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There is great opportunity for you to implement those changes needed to properly align yourself with your true aims in this life. Use yesterday’s insight to properly adjust your sails. You will see life in a more realistic view, and this will help you make those needed adjustments. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There is a greater opportunity for you to make those changes within your work life or daily life to create more balance for you. Perhaps it is simply you speaking up at work about your true values, or maybe just more time will be dedicated to that special other in your life now. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There is a great opportunity for you to re-adjust your aims going forward now. That significant other in your life will know of these changes, perhaps share them with you, and then you can both work on creating a more bal-

ish and unworkable. Now they have turned on me, claiming that I am “insensitive.” I think their selfishness and sense of possession are beyond all reason. What do you think? — Troubled in New York Dear N.Y.: Your sisters are behaving like jealous lovers. It may even be misplaced “loyalty” to Mom. But you need to stay out of it. Simply tell your sisters that however they choose to treat Dad and his wife is up to them, but you plan to welcome her with open arms because she makes Dad happy. Then say no more about it. Their attitude is not your responsibility. We hope, in time, they will come around. Dear Annie: I disagree with your advice to “Unhappy Neighbor,” who did not want to confront a volatile neighbor about trimming the tree that reached over his property line. He shouldn’t have to pay any legal costs. “Unhappy” should check with his local municipality to ensure he’s entitled to cut any branches over his property line, and then advise the neighbor in writing of his intention to trim the branches and when he will do the work. If the neighbor so much as pokes him with a finger, physical assault charges should be filed immediately. —Pennsylvania Constable Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

CROSS 1921 - 2014 Mr. Gordon William Cross of Red Deer, went to be with his Lord and Saviour on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 passing peacefully at the Red Deer Hospital Centre at the age of 92 years, just short of his 93rd birthday. Gordon was born in Olds, AB but raised on the farm at Amisk AB. At the age of 14, Gordon built a windmill and generator which supplied lighting to the farmhouse. At age 16 was appointed foreman of a construction company to construct roadways in the Amisk area. Gordon enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force during WW11 where he was an aircraft mechanic but was not called overseas. During this time Gordon met Josephine Henry who he married in 1945. After the war Gordon and Jo lived in Olds where he worked in the furniture business before moving his family to Red Deer in 1951. In 1953, Gordon and Ben Roth incorporated Cross and Roth Real Estate Ltd. in Red Deer and was well respected in the real estate and business communities. Gordon eventually formed his own construction company specializing in residential housing with treated wood basements. He also used his exceptional engineering ability to build his own prototype temperature control system for residential and commercial use. Gordon was a long-standing member of First Baptist Church in Red Deer where he served faithfully for many years. Following his retirement, Gordon pursued his hobbies involving electronics. Gordon leaves to mourn and will lovingly be remembered by son Steve (Lorraine) of Red Deer; daughters Jennifer Cross of Penhold, Susan (Gary) Oosterhoff of Red Deer, and Catherine Cross of Red Deer; brother Ken (Stella) Cross of Edmonton; sister Betty Cwicklewich of Red Deer; and sister-in-law Charlotte Doerksen of Red Deer. Gordon will also be lovingly remembered by his eight grandchildren, Lindsay (Paul) Gustafson, Scott (Ayumi) Romans, Eric Oosterhoff, Michelle Romans, Christine Romans, Lesley Oosterhoff, Mike Young, Emily Young (Shaun Wielinga); as well as his great grandchildren Ewan and Mila, Rylee, Evan, Kye and Shaun. Also mourning Gordon’s passing are numerous nieces and nephews. Gordon was predeceased by his loving wife Josephine in 2010. He loved and was greatly loved by his family and will be deeply missed. A Memorial Service to celebrate Gordon’s life will be held at the First Baptist Church, 4310 - 39 Street, Red Deer, AB on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made directly to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, 1502, 8215 - 112 St NW, Edmonton AB T6G 9Z9 or to the Kids with Cancer Society, 11135 - 84 Ave, Edmonton AB, T6G 0V9 (on-line at www.kidswithcancer.ca).

MCDOUGALL George Thomas McDougall (Tom) passed away peacefully in his sleep October 30, 2014 after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Tom was born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba on October 8, 1936. It was there that he met the love of his life Joan when they were only fifteen. Tom and Joan were married in 1958 and shortly thereafter moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where Tom worked for CN railroad and Davies Electric. In 1960 they welcomed a daughter, Sherry Lee, and in 1966 a son, Blaine Thomas. In 1974 Tom began working for Kramer Tractor in Saskatoon, and had a long and rewarding career until his retirement. In 2005 Tom and Joan moved to Red Deer to enjoy retirement closer to their youngest grandchildren. Tom will be remembered as a warm, loving father and grandfather. Like any good Saskatchewan boy he loved the Roughriders, was an avid outdoorsman, as well as a talented photographer. He was a fixture at his children and grandchildren’s games, and could always be counted on to cheer the loudest. Tom is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, his daughter Sherry (Ted), son Blaine (Nadine) and grandchildren Deanna, Teddy, Keegan, Konnor and Konrad, and his sister Elizabeth. He is predeceased by his parents, Fred and Anne and brother Lionel. The family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to the Palliative Care Department at Red Deer General Hospital as well as the staff and volunteers at Red Deer Hospice. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be given to Red Deer Hospice at 99 Arnot Avenue, Red Deer, AB, T4R 3S6. A viewing will be held at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 - 67A Street (Taylor Drive) on Monday November 3 from 6-8 pm, and the celebration of Tom’s life will be at Mighty Fortress Lutheran Church November 4, 2014 at 1:00 PM at 51 Alford Ave, Red Deer.

Brady leads Pats past Manning, Broncos NFL ROUNDUP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PATRIOTS 43 BRONCOS 21 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady outdueled Peyton Manning, throwing for four touchdowns, and Julian Edelman returned a punt 84 yards for a score in leading the New England Patriots past the Denver Broncos 43-21 Sunday. The 16th matchup between the alltime great quarterbacks wasn’t particularly competitive after the first quarter. New England (7-2) won its fifth straight, halting the four-game winning streak for Denver (6-2) in emphatic fashion. Brady has 18 TD passes and one interception in those five victories. Manning fell to 2-7 at Gillette Stadium and 5-11 overall against Brady, even though he threw for 438 yards and two touchdowns. He has at least two TD passes in 14 consecutive games, an NFL record. In his 200th career start, Brady passed for 333 yards. He has won 155 of those, the most for any quarterback in that many starts. CARDINALS 28, COWBOYS 17 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Carson Palmer had three touchdown passes after an early interception the Cowboys returned for a score, and the Dallas offence struggled without the injured Tony Romo in a loss to Arizona. The Cardinals (7-1), who have sole possession of the best record in the NFC for the first time since 1974, won their fourth straight. They have beaten all five conference opponents. Romo was out with his third back injury in 18 months, and backup Brandon Weeden threw two interceptions as the Cowboys (6-3) dropped their second straight after a six-game winning streak. NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray’s record streak of eight straight 100-yard games to start the season for Dallas ended against a defence that didn’t allow a back over the century mark for the 18th consecutive time. He rushed for 79 yards on 19 carries. RAMS 13, 49ERS 10 SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Colin Kaepernick fumbled at the goal line with 2 seconds remaining, and St. Louis sacked the San Francisco quarterback eight times on the way to an upset over the 49ers. The Rams recovered, and the play was reviewed and upheld. The 49ers (4-4) had first-and-goal at the 1, but struggled in the red zone and failed to capitalize on consecutive penalties by Trumaine Johnson as he defended Michael Crabtree. Greg Zuerlein kicked a go-ahead 39-yard field goal for the Rams (3-5) with 5:25 left. San Francisco got the ball back at its 12 with 3:11 remaining. Kaepernick completed long passes to Stevie Johnson and Anquan Boldin in the final drive. EAGLES 31, TEXANS 21 HOUSTON (AP) — Mark Sanchez replaced the injured Nick Foles and threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns to lead Philadelphia over Houston. Foles injured his left shoulder late in the first quarter, forcing Sanchez into his first action since 2012 with the Jets. He threw two interceptions in three quarters, but made throws when he had to. The Eagles (6-2) led by 3 when Jeremy Maclin grabbed a low throw from Sanchez for an 8-yard touchdown to make it 31-21 with about four minutes

Maclin finished with two touchdowns and 158 yards receiving and LeSean McCoy had 117 yards rushing. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 203 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for Houston (4-5). SEAHAWKS 30, RAIDERS 24 SEATTLE (AP) — Marshawn Lynch rushed for two first-half touchdowns, Bruce Irvin tipped and intercepted Derek Carr’s pass and returned it 35 yards for another score and Seattle beat Oakland. After a tumultuous previous month, the Seahawks (5-3) won their second straight behind a strong first half, three field goals from Steven Hauschka and a defence that made Carr look like a rookie much of the afternoon. Not all was perfect for Seattle. Russell Wilson struggled through one of his worst passing games and the Seahawks failed to capitalize on numerous chances to rout the winless Raiders. Seattle led 24-3 at halftime only to see the Raiders score on a blocked punt for a touchdown and two Mychal Rivera TD catches to pull within six in the final minutes. Lynch finished with 67 yards rushing and another 76 receiving as the Seahawks handed Oakland (0-8) its 14th straight loss dating to last season. BENGALS 33, JAGUARS 23 CINCINNATI (AP) — Jeremy Hill ran for a career-high 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 60-yarder in the fourth quarter that helped Cincinnati hold on for a victory over Jacksonville. Andy Dalton threw a pair of touchdown passes, one of them to A.J. Green in the Pro Bowl receiver’s return from a toe injury, but also had a pair of interceptions that kept it close. The Jaguars (1-8) turned Dalton’s second interception into Denard Robinson’s 5-yard touchdown run, cutting it to 26-23. Hill broke his 60-yard touch-

down run on Cincinnati’s next play from scrimmage. Rookie Blake Bortles, who leads the NFL in interceptions, helped the Bengals (5-2-1) seal it by throwing an interception to George Iloka in the end zone with 3:55 left. Bortles was 22 of 33 for 247 yards with a pair of touchdown passes to Allen Hurns. CHIEFS 24, JETS 10 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Alex Smith threw for 199 yards and two touchdowns, Jamaal Charles ran for another score and Kansas City sent New York to its eighth straight loss. Tight ends Travis Kelce and Anthony Fasano each caught touchdown passes, and the Chiefs (5-3) won their third straight and fifth in six games on the same day former running back Priest Holmes was inducted into their ring of honour. Making his first start with the Jets (1-8), Michael Vick was 21 of 27 for 196 yards and a touchdown. He briefly left in the fourth quarter after taking a massive hit from the Chiefs’ Josh Mauga and walking unsteadily off the field, but eventually returned later in the quarter. VIKINGS 29, REDSKINS 26 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Teddy Bridgewater outplayed Robert Griffin III down the stretch after a rough start, Matt Asiata ran for three scores and the Vikings spoiled Griffin’s return to the Redskins with a victory. Bridgewater completed 26 of 42 passes for 268 yards for the Vikings (45), who sacked Griffin five times. Griffin went 18 for 28 for 251 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Redskins (3-6), who lost three leads despite 92 yards and two touchdowns rushing by Alfred Morris and 120 yards receiving from DeSean Jackson. This was a rough day for the Redskins, starting with a crash between

their two buses on the way to the stadium. BROWNS 22, BUCCANEERS 17 CLEVELAND (AP) — Brian Hoyer threw a 34-yard TD pass to Taylor Gabriel with 8:59 remaining, helping Cleveland complete a favourable stretch of its schedule with a win over Tampa Bay. Cleveland was trailing 17-16 when Hoyer completed his second TD pass. Hoyer finished 21 of 34 for 300 yards, two TDs and two interceptions. He improved to 8-3 as Cleveland’s starter. The Browns (5-3) have their best record at the midway point since 2007 when they won 10 and barely missed the playoffs. Cleveland went 2-1 the past three weeks against Jacksonville, Oakland and Tampa Bay, who entered a combined 2-19. Tampa Bay’s Mike Glennon threw a pair of 24-yard TDs to rookie Mike Evans for the Buccaneers (1-7), who have lost four in a row and five this season by six points or less. DOLPHINS 37, CHARGERS 0 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Tannehill threw for 288 yards and three scores, and Miami forced four turnovers to rout San Diego. Tannehill went 24 for 34 and threw touchdown passes to Charles Clay, Rishard Matthews and Jarvis Landry. San Diego’s Philip Rivers threw three interceptions, two to Brent Grimes, and was sacked three times. The Dolphins (5-3) earned their third consecutive victory. The Chargers (5-4) lost their third game in a row and remain winless in South Florida since January 1982. Every Miami victory this season has been by double digits, and this was the most lopsided yet. San Diego was shut out for the first time since 1999, and the Dolphins earned their first shutout since 2006.

Johnson emerges from frantic finish to win in Texas GORDON GOES AFTER KESELOWSKI AFTER COLLISION ENDS CHANCE FOR WIN NASCAR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT WORTH, Texas — Jimmie Johnson won his third consecutive Texas fall race Sunday, when none of the eight championship contenders were able to clinch one of the final four spots in NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Johnson emerged from a frantic finish, the second attempt at an overtime two-lap sprint to the finish after his teammate and Chase contender Jeff Gordon spun out from the front after contact with Brad Keselowski. While Johnson celebrated his fourth victory at Texas and 70th Sprint Cup win overall, fireworks exploded in the sky — and on pit road. An irate Gordon stopped his car right by Keselowski and confronted him. There were plenty of punches thrown in the melee, with NASCAR officials in the middle of crew members and others around the Keselowski’s No. 2 car. Gordon was leading on a restart on lap 335, one more than the race’s scheduled length, when he took the outside lane. When Gordon drifted up a bit, Keselowski pushed through the gap, and made contact that left Gordon’s car with a cut tire. “We were just racing for the win. I didn’t wreck him, and just raced him hard. He left a hole. Everything you watch in racing, you leave a hole, you’re supposed to go for it,” said Keselowski, who appeared to be spitting blood after the post-race brawl. “I don’t want to ruin anyone’s day. I wanted to win the race and that was the opportunity. It just didn’t come

together.” Gordon said he was on older tires when “out of nowhere I got slammed by the 2.” He then used an expletive in referring to Keselowski, who finished third. “The way he races, I don’t know how he ever won a championship. This is why everyone is fighting with him,” Gordon said. “There wasn’t any conversation. You can’t have a conversation with him. There’s big consequences. To me, it’s just a bunch of crap. The kid is just doing stuff way over his head.” Gordon spun out, lost a lap in the pits, and finished 29th. It was the second time in the last four races that another driver confronted Keselowski after the checkered flag. Johnson, who beat Chase contender Kevin Harvick by a half-second, described Texas as intense and said he was sure it was “highly entertaining.” He said he couldn’t wait to go back and watch the tape. Harvick appeared to shove Keselowski into the fray, and crew members started throwing punches. “If you’re going to race like that, you’re going to have to man up at some point,” Harvick said afterward. “I didn’t get in the middle of anything. I just turned him around and told him to go fight his own fight.” Johnson, the six-time Cup champion who was eliminated after the second round in the new Chase format, led 191 of the 341 laps. The next highest-finishing Chase contenders at Texas were Carl Edwards in ninth and Denny Hamlin 10th. Texas was the second consecutive Chase race won by a driver already eliminated from title contention. That means at least three drivers will ad-

The third round of the Chase wraps up next Sunday in Phoenix, where Harvick won eight months ago in the second race of the season. Matt Kenseth and Hamlin were the only of the eight Chase contenders to finish outside the top eight in that race. Joey Logano finished 12th at Texas, but is listed first in points while having the same number as Hamlin and two more than Ryan Newman. Gordon is fourth, a point ahead of Kenseth and

Carl Edwards, followed by Keselowski and Harvick — though there is only an 18-point gap between first and eighth place. Kyle Busch finished fourth, though he never really threatened in his bid to complete his second career NASCAR weekend trifecta. Busch slipped early in the field, and was able to move up only during a late series of cautions. Busch won the Nationwide Series race at the high-banked, 1 ½-mile track Saturday after starting the weekend with a victory in the Camping World Truck Series race Friday night. He started ninth in the Cup race.

Democrats slip in Senate races

Suicide bombing kills nearly 54 people near eastern Pakistani border with India

REPUBLICANS TRY TO TURN ELECTION INTO REFERENDUM ON OBAMA

BRIEFS

LAHORE, Pakistan — A suicide bomber detonated explosives near a Pakistani paramilitary checkpoint near the country’s eastern border with India on Sunday, killing at least 54 people in the deadliest attack to hit the country in several months, police and government officers said. The explosion hit near the checkpoint at the Wagah border crossing as hundreds of people were returning from a military parade on the outskirts of Lahore, provincial police chief Mushtaq Sukhera said. Both the Pakistani and the Indian military conduct daily parades and flag-flying ceremonies on their respective sides of the border. The events draw crowds of hundreds, a number that would rise into the thousands on a weekend like Sunday. The death toll was likely to rise because over 100 people were wounded, with several in critical condition, Sukhera said.

Sierra Leonean doctor tests positive for Ebola in latest setback for health care workers

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Increasingly confident Republicans looking to gain control of the Senate focused Sunday on President Barack Obama, trying to turn Tuesday’s election into a referendum on his presidency even though his name isn’t on the ballot. Obama started his presidency with Democrats controlling both houses of Congress, but in 2010, in the middle of his first term, his party lost the House of Representatives in a wave of very conservative Republican tea party victories and backlash against the president’s health care overhaul, widely called “Obamacare.” Obama’s sagging approval ratings — a few points above 40 per cent — have been a major drag on Democrats in Senate races, with most of them declining presidential appearances on the campaign trail. Hurting Democrats as well is the quirk of U.S. elections this year — the mid-point of Obama’s second term — where many incumbent Democrats or those vying for seats held by retiring Democrats are running in states that voted heavily for Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential contest. “This is really the last chance for America to pass judgment on the Obama administration and on its policies,” Romney said in a message echoed by

Republicans across the country this weekend. Democratic Party leaders still were predicting victory despite disappointing polls, relying on a technologically sophisticated voter turnout operation to convince supporters, particular young people, minorities and single women, to cast ballots. “I’m very proud of this president,” head of the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, said. “I think we’re going to win the Senate.” While the elections will determine winners in all 435 House districts and in 36 governors’ seats, the national focus is largely on the Senate, where Republicans need to net six seats to control the majority in the Congress that convenes in January. Republicans already control the House, and are likely to add seats to their majority. Republicans appear certain of picking up at least three Senate seats — in West Virginia, Montana and South Dakota. There are nine other competitive Senate contests, six of them for seats in Democratic hands. In the southern state of Georgia, where Democrats see one of their few opportunities to pick up a Senate seat in traditionally Republican territory, Republican David Perdue repeatedly called Democrat Michelle Nunn a “rubber stamp” for Obama. “President Barack Obama said his policies are on the ballot, and in Georgia those poli-

cies go by the name of Michelle Nunn,” Perdue said in a debate Sunday. Nunn mockingly told Perdue he sounds like he’s “running against the president.” “You’re running against me, David,” Nunn said. If Republicans dominate in the Senate races, Obama likely will hear the death knell ring for pushing major Democraticbacked legislation through Congress for the final two years of his presidency. But he’s already had almost no success with Congress since the 2010 elections when Republicans gained an unassailable majority in the House. Obama could also have problems getting his judicial and administrative nominations confirmed. But Republicans, if in control of both houses of Congress, will be under severe pressure to govern, to get things done rather than just block Obama’s agenda. Republicans will be looking toward the 2016 presidential contest and eager to show they can get things done, to pass measures that Obama will feel obliged to sign into law. They also know that they could easily lose the Senate in 2016 when their incumbents who rode the Republican wave into office in 2010 face re-election. Republicans will be in much the same place as Democrats this year, fighting to stay in office in Democratic-leaning states such as Illinois and Pennsylvania. Moreover, a presidential election contest is likely

to boost turnout among minority and young voters who favour Democrats. And with Republicans looking to have just a two- to three seat majority in the Senate, 52 to 53 of the 100 seats, they will find it hard to assemble the 60 votes needed to overcome Senate procedural rules to pass legislation let alone override a presidential veto which requires a two-thirds majority, or 66 votes. But there could be agreement on measures that would spur public spending for things like infrastructure — roads, bridges, airports — something Obama has fought for all along as a means of lowering the U.S. unemployment rate, which nonetheless has slid below 6 per cent nationwide. Republicans and Obama might also find a way to compromise on issues like corporate taxes, trade and government regulations. The improving economy in Obama’s sixth year of two terms — lower unemployment, improving home prices and sales, record high stock market numbers — have done little to boost Democrats and Obama. Those bright spots have been pushed to the background by voter fears about Islamic State militants seizing vast territories in Syria and Iraq, fears about the limited spread of Ebola to the United States, and a deep dissatisfaction with the economy, improving or not. Wages are stagnant and have shown little growth in decades.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Authorities in Sierra Leone said Sunday that another doctor there has tested positive for Ebola, marking a setback for efforts to keep desperately needed health care workers safe in the West African country ravaged by the deadly virus. Government Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brima Kargbo confirmed on Sunday that a fifth doctor in Sierra Leone had tested positive. The other four all have died from the virus that has killed nearly 5,000 across West Africa. The sick physician has been identified as Dr. Godfrey George, medical superintendent of Kambia Government Hospital in northern Sierra Leone. He was driven to the capital, Freetown, after reporting he wasn’t feeling well.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Climate change is happening, it’s almost entirely man’s fault and limiting its impacts may require reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero this century, the U.N.’s panel on climate science said Sunday. The fourth and final volume of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s giant climate assessment didn’t offer any surprises, nor was it expected to since it combined the findings of three earlier reports. But it underlined the scope of the climate challenge in stark terms. Emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, may need to drop to zero by the end of this century for the world to have a decent chance of keeping the temperature rise below a level that many consider dangerous. Failure to do so, which could require deployment of technologies that suck greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere, could lock the world on a trajectory with “irreversible” impacts on people and the environment, the report said.
