Rally against sexual violence BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Eight-hundred Tweets and statements condemning sexual violence lined the paths of City Hall Park on Thursday afternoon. Matt McKellar, who organized the Red Deer Rally Against Sexual Violence, and volunteers copied the social media messages following the firing of CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi. Millions of people from all over Canada and the world have responded to the issue of sexual violence through #BeenRapedNeverReported with their own stories. Rally volunteers planted the messages in the

snow to demonstrate the magnitude of the violence. “It’s reached the point where individuals need to speak up,” said McKellar, 31, of Red Deer, who revealed that he was a survivor of sexual violence. “We need to actually have this conversation. It’s so repulsive, that’s often why we can’t have it.” A few people stopped to talk to McKellar and a couple supporters during the three-hour rally. McKellar said it’s too much for most survivors to attend such events. He said he was ashamed and angry for a long time. According to his research, one in six men and one out of four women will experience sexual violence. “These are shocking numbers. “Everyone is looking at Canada saying if this is

such a problem, what are you going to do about it?” McKellar said. Patricia Arango, executive director Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre, said that in September and October, the centre had a total of 67 new clients. “That is a lot. This means we need to work together and do something and talk more about sexual assault. It’s serious,” Arango said. But it’s always up to the victim to decide if they want to report an assault, she said. “Many of them are not ready and prefer to stay quiet and live without saying anything. It will come out when they are ready.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

GUILBAULT MURDER TRIAL

Judge expected to hand down verdict next Thursday BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF The fate of a Red Deer man who killed his father two years ago will be announced in a Red Deer courtroom next week. Defence counsel Patty MacNaughton argued in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Thursday that Aaron Timothy Guilbault, 33, was suffering from a mental disorder and cannot be held criminally responsible for killing his father, Timothy Bruce Guilbault, 58, a former Red Deer city councillor. Crown prosecutor Maurice Collard said expert witnesses called by the defence failed to prove, on the balance of probabilities, that Guilbault’s mental illness had rendered him incapable of appreciating the nature of his actions or understanding that killing his father was morally wrong. Aaron Guilbault was arrested in Stettler on Nov. 5, 2012, after his sister, Caroline, found their father’s body in the entry of a family cabin in Red Lodge Estates, west of Bowden. In an agreed statement of facts presented at the outset of his trial, Collard stated that Timothy Guilbault had died two days earlier after being beaten with an aluminium baseball bat. Addressing Justice Monica Bast in court on Thursday, Collard said he concedes that Guilbault was mentally ill at the time of the attack, but does not concede that the illness was of such a nature that Guilbault could be absolved of criminal responsibility. He asked Bast to ignore the testimony of a psychiatrist who examined Guilbault. Two experts, a psychologist and a psychiatrist, took part in assessing Guilbault’s mental health after his arrest. Collard said he could find nothing in the psychiatrist’s evidence to indicate that Guilbault had been properly tested to determine whether he was faking symptoms to avoid prosecution. He pointed to evidence in the psychiatrist’s report indicating that Guilbault was assessed as an intelligent child and gifted in some respects, with the ability to manipulate others to his own ends. The report includes a comment that malingerers may become defensive when challenged about their symptoms, and then discusses Guilbault becoming defensive while being examined by the psychiatrist.

Distribution of harm reduction kits opens lines of communication BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF The distribution of harm reduction kits by the Central Alberta AIDS Network has increased steadily over the last four years. The organization has averaged 36,667 new needles distributed per month over the last six months. In April 2011, there were 10,385 new needles given out. “The trend has always been increasing,” said Jennifer Vanderschaeghe, CAANS executive director. Harm reduction kits come in different forms, but generally consist of new needles, pipes or other drug-related equipment. Vanderschaeghe said they’re provided for people who fall in the gap where drug abstinence has failed and before treatment has started. This gap leaves them vulnerable to diseases such as hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS, as well as overdoses. “Harm reduction is a type of addictions work,”

said Vanderschaeghe. “As an agency we live in this place where we recognize there will probably always be people who use drugs and their health care is an issue. They deserve respectful, judgment-free support around their health.” According to statistics tracked by CAANS, 337 different people access the organization through the needle exchange. Of those, 149 people use predominantly injection methods for their drug use, 121 predominantly smoke and about 67 that use both interchangeably. About 40 per cent of those people are women and 60 per cent are men. “Given that the (general) population is usually around 51 per cent women, it means we’re not seeing some of the women we should be seeing,” said Vanderschaeghe. In the six-month period, CAANS connected 14,630 times with people who used drugs — or 80 people a day, every day.

P.E.I. premier Ghiz to resign CHARLOTTETOWN — Robert Ghiz is stepping down as premier of Prince Edward Island, saying his time is up in provincial politics but he could still make a career in the federal arena. Ghiz said Thursday he will remain as premier until a leadership convention in the new year, handing over the party at a time when the Liberals are far ahead in the polls and the opposition parties are struggling. Political scientist Peter McKenna of the University of Prince Edward Island said he was stunned by Ghiz’s decision. “He’s 20 points up in the polls, the Conservatives don’t have a leader ... there was a clear track to win in the next election,” he said. “I’m scratching my head. ... It’s unusual that a premier who has really hit his stride and is cruising to victory in the next election would step aside.” But Ghiz said it is best to leave while enjoying success. “You see more politicians stay longer than they probably should. ... Sometimes you just need to say for the sake of the province and the party and your-

COURT: Judge to review evidence Collard also challenged the psychiatrist’s decision to rely on transcripts from Guilbault’s arrest and statement without viewing the videos. Those hours of video may be boring to watch but they are also very telling, said Collard. MacNaughton argued that her client showed increasing signs of psychosis starting in his late 20s and was admitted twice for treatment in the months leading up to his arrest. The psychologist and the psychiatrist both believe that Guilbault’s mental disorder existed at the time of the offence and that he cannot be held criminally responsible as a result, she said. “Three months after, he was still floridly psychot-

self, you’re better off moving on.” Ghiz said his decision also gives the party enough time to prepare for the next election, which is set for October 2015 but could be moved to a date earlier or later if the federal election is scheduled for the same time. “There’s always time for renewal,” said Ghiz, who first became premier at the age of 33 in 2007. “I’m proud of our record but I’m also proud of the team that’s going to be here to continue on.” Ghiz followed his father’s footsteps into the premier’s office. Joe Ghiz served as premier from 1986 to 1993. He died at the age of 51 in 1996. After his father’s death, Robert Ghiz spent the early years of his career in Ottawa, working as the Atlantic Canada adviser to former prime minister Jean Chretien. As a friend of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, Ghiz said a return to a federal role is a possibility after he spends more time with his wife and three children, aged five, three and one. “As of now, I don’t have anything specific, but as you know I am a friend of Justin and a fan of Justin and I guess we’ll wait and see,” he said during a news conference announcing his departure. ic,” said MacNaughton. “(They both) believe he was severely ill and schizophrenic at the time of the offence.” Bast said she would need a few days to review the evidence before making a decision. She is to return with her verdict on Thursday morning. Formerly employed with Nova Chemicals, Timothy Guilbault was elected to Red Deer city council in 1986 and served three terms before resigning in 1995 to take a new job in Calgary. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

EDMONTON — Alberta has exempted menthol from its flavoured tobacco ban law that health groups once held up as an example for other governments to follow. Health Minister Stephen Mandel said Thursday the legislation — to be phased in — will still protect young people from the dangers of other flavoured tobacco. After a year of study since the law was passed, the government decided that banning the popular minty weed wouldn’t be cool with adults who enjoy menthol, Mandel said. “You need to deal with the realities of the world and we made an effort to deal with flavoured tobaccos and I think that we are quite restrictive in that area. “The decision was made that menthol would be one we leave out at this point in time.” Health, medical and anti-smoking groups say exempting menthol is a mistake, because the flavour is the most popular with young people. There are studies that say menthol soothes the throat, opens the airways and increases nicotine absorption into the bloodstream. Angeline Webb of the Canadian Cancer Society said Alberta’s decision was very disappointing and thousands of young people will pay the price. “Menthol is the most insidious flavour of tobacco products. It leads to addiction. It leads to initiation and youth who smoke menthol are much more likely to become long-term smokers than their non-menthol smoking peers,” she said. “From a public health perspective, menthol is the most important flavour to focus on with reference to protecting kids.” On Sept. 30, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Lung Association urged all health ministers across Canada to join Alberta in banning flavoured tobacco products, including menthol. The federal, Ontario and Manitoba governments have balked at including menthol in flavoured tobacco ban legislation. The Ontario Medical Association recently urged Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government to ban menthol cigarettes. Mandel said other parts of Alberta’s tobacco reduction strategy will help protect young people, including an immediate ban on smoking in vehicles with children present and a ban on selling tobacco to children. The flavoured tobacco ban kicks in June 1, 2015, along with new restrictions to eliminate smaller packs of tobacco. “Reducing the exposure of children to tobacco and reducing the overall use of tobacco products will have positive outcomes across all areas of health care,” Mandel said. Specific details on some these measures were not immediately available.

A3 Wildrose takes stock at AGM BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Alberta’s Opposition Wildrose party will put its body politic on the couch this weekend to decide who it is and where it’s going following four byelection defeats. “We need to have a full discussion about what it is we need to do differently and I’m looking forward to the chance to have that analysis,” party leader Danielle Smith said in an interview. “It’s pretty clear we need to do some tweaking and change course on a few things — and I’m sure our members will give us some guidance.”

FRIDAY, NOV. 14, 2014

Rank and file will gather Friday and Saturday at a hotel in Red Deer for the party’s annual general meeting. It was originally intended to update members, make some policy and rule changes and rally the troops for the next election, due in the spring of 2016. That agenda was altered after the Wildrose lost four byelections on Oct. 27 to the Progressive Conservatives and new Premier Jim Prentice. Smith said a Saturday bearpit session, which would normally see Smith and her team field questions from party members, has been changed. Instead, key party strategists are to sit on stage as grassroots members come to the microphone to tell

them what is working, what isn’t, and what needs to change. “We’ve not done this before, but I think it will be a lot more meaningful,” said Smith. The challenge over the next 18 months will be to straddle the line of holding the government to account as official Opposition, while continuing to deliver policy alternatives so as to be seen as a credible government in waiting, she said. Smith plans to outline a five-point plan to members over the weekend to address that. “It really does come down to the ability of our members to be working one on one in their community to help us sell the Wildrose message.”

Alberta First Nations oppose B.C.’s Site C dam project BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BRIEF Great War play examined as possible trigger for lockdown at Calgary college CALGARY — Police are investigating whether noise from a technical rehearsal for a play about World War One may have sparked a lengthy lockdown at a big Calgary college. A section of SAIT Polytechnic was closed for about two hours Wednesday evening after police got a call from an employee about several loud bangs that sounded like gunshots. Officers cleared students from the area, but found no trace of a gunman or shell casings. The play is being staged at the nearby Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, where a theatre group has permission to use blanks in the performance. Police say misinformation about the call that spread rapidly on social media did not help their investigation. Sgt. Cory Ma, a police spokesman, says it led to a sort of telephone game.

No environmental assessment was ever done for the Bennett Dam. At least six Alberta bands, supported by the provincial government, registered those concerns during hearings on Site C. Lepine said they were ignored. “None of our concerns have been addressed throughout the consultation process.” Lepine said the Alberta-based lawsuit alleges the federal approval breached Ottawa’s duty to consult. BC Hydro has said that it’s now impossible to get good data on what the Peace River and Athabasca Delta were like pre-Bennett. As well, it says Site C is much smaller than Bennett and is unlikely to make much difference. The utility argues the environmental impact assessment is for Site C — not a retroactive examination of the Bennett Dam — and that Site C won’t

change the Bennett’s pattern of high- and low-water periods. The $7.9-billion dam would be the third on the Peace River and would flood 55 square kilometres of land. It would generate enough power for 450,000 homes. A joint federal-provincial environmental assessment panel reviewed the proposal and released a report in May, but it did not make a clear recommendation for or against. The panel’s report said the dam would cause significant, adverse effects on the environment, wildlife, aboriginals and farmers. It also said BC Hydro had not demonstrated the need for the dam on the timetable it set out. But the panel also concluded there would be clear benefits to the proposed dam.

liances in schools. NDP education critic Deron Bilous says it’s important to humanize the obstacles students face when they try to stop bullying. The party is asking students to text it with their experiences, and promises to keep them anonymous. The move is intended to raise awareness as the Liberals get set to bring forward a private member’s bill requiring school boards to support gay-straight

alliances. The alliances serve as peer-support networks in schools to help gay students who are being bullied or demeaned. In the spring, the governing Progressive Conservatives and the Opposition Wildrose party defeated a Liberal motion to support the alliances, saying schools already have a mandate to provide a safe learning environment.

CALGARY — A guilty plea has been entered by one of two drivers police had been seeking after a Calgary pedestrian was run over twice and killed. Steven Jonathan Vanasse, who turned himself in, pleaded guilty Wednesday to failing to stop at the scene of a fatal collision. Sentencing will take place at a later date. Wong Shuk (Rachel) Yee, who was 56, was struck at a northwest intersection in February 2013. She was then hit by a second vehicle that dragged Waves Coffee her 50 metres before it sped away, while two other drivers went around her. Westerner Park Chalet Police are still looking for the other motorist who Red Deer struck Yee. Sgt. Colin Foster of the Calgary Police Service said at the time that he was “shaken” by people’s callousness. Tonja Beach, who was the first person to come to the victim’s aid, had said she was saddened that both the drivers who hit Yee fled and 2014 FESTIVAL OF TREES that nobody else initially stopped.

EDMONTON — Alberta aboriginals have joined British Columbia First Nations in filing legal challenges to a BC Hydro proposal for another dam on the Peace River. The Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations have begun a lawsuit challenging Ottawa’s approval of the Site C dam project. They say its environmental assessment didn’t consider any of the dam’s possible downstream effects in Alberta. “We wanted studies done on what the impacts would be on the Peace-Athabasca Delta,” Mikisew spokeswoman Melody Lepine said Thursday. “Those were not done.” The lawsuit, filed in Federal Court, is in addition to a separate one filed Wednesday by four B.C. bands. They want the dam approval overturned on the grounds the project would damage their ability to exercise treaty rights. The Alberta lawsuit points out that BC Hydro’s Site C environmental assessment stops at Peace Point, upstream of the delta, and that research ignores how the ongoing impacts of the existing Bennett Dam will add to those of Site C. The bands say the Bennett Dam has already created significant changes in the delta that were never studied when that project was built in the 1960s. Research has since documented significant impacts on the Athabasca Delta, despite being hundreds of kilometres downstream. Nearly half of its wetlands had disappeared by 1989. Animals that depend on them, such as muskrats or ducks, had lost up to 90 per cent of their numbers. Annual flooding patterns, which refresh many lakes and flush streambeds, were severely disrupted. River levels during normal high-water periods were found to be significantly lower post-Bennett.

Deficit slayed – now what? TAX RELIEF SHOULD TOP OTTAWA’S AGENDA, NOT INCREASE SPENDING BY CHARLES LAMMAM AND MILAGROS PALACIOS SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE After seven years of budget deficits and over $160 billion in new debt, the federal government confirmed in its financial update on Wednesday that it expects to record a surplus next year. With the deficit set for elimination, now is the time to shift focus on ways to lay the foundation for stronger economic growth and increased prosperity. Using the new fiscal room for progrowth tax relief warrants serious consideration. Starting in 2015-16 and up to 2019-20, the government expects to run cumulative surpluses of $31.2 billion. Its projections include an annual $3-billion contingency buffer, so the surpluses could actually total as much as $46.2 billion. That leaves substantial fiscal room for enacting tax changes that improve Canada’s competitiveness and put the country on a stronger economic footing. The expected surpluses would have been higher had the government not already used part of them on a series of initiatives announced last month, including family income splitting for tax purposes (limited by a cap), an expansion of the Universal Child Care Benefit, an increase in the Child Care Expense Deduction limit, a doubling of the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, and a new tax credit for small businesses. The cumulative price tag of these initiatives is $27.5 billion (from 2014-15 to 2019-20) or roughly $5 billion annually once fully implemented. If the government’s goal is to enact “prudent” new measures that encourage economic growth and “boost job creation,” other options would generate greater economic bang for the buck. Flash back to the late 1990s when the federal government last eliminated a deficit. The public debate about how best to use the so-called “fiscal dividend” led to the then Liberal government enacting an important series of tax reforms that helped usher in a period of strong economic performance. The Liberals used the surpluses to reduce personal income taxes, lower capital gains taxes, and set in motion a multi-year reduction in the corporate tax rate that has made Canada’s business tax regime more competitive with the United States. But the federal pro-growth tax reform agenda has since largely stalled. The major tax reductions enacted by the Conservatives have been limited to decreasing the GST rate, following

through on scheduled reductions to the corporate tax rate, and creating several tax credits for particular individuals or activities that have complicated the tax code. The personal income tax rate structure has essentially been unchanged. Therein lies a major opportunity for maximizing the economic impact of the fiscal dividend today. A recent study surveying the existing research on marginal tax rates clearly shows that high and increasing personal income tax rates discourage investment and entrepreneurship, which form the basis for a thriving economy. The same study shows that Canada is uncompetitive on personal income tax rates and the income levels at which they apply. Consecutive federal governments, both Liberal (in 2005) and Conservative (in 2006), have identified the de-

structive 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. Broad-based tax relief in the form of lower personal income tax rates would improve Canada’s competitiveness and strengthen our economy by encouraging productive activity like increased work effort, saving, investment, and entrepreneurship. Another option is for the Conservatives to take a page from the 1990s Liberal playbook and reduce capital gains taxes, which apply to the sale of assets when the selling price exceeds the original purchase price. This may not be the sexiest policy topic heading into an election year but the reality is that capital gains taxes impose enormous economic costs and bring in relatively little revenue in Grant Damsgaard Red Deer

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Vehicle idling habits in city show a sense of entitlement

Excellent Remembrance Day service at Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive

I now consider myself a proud Red Deerian, residing for the last four years in this amazing city. Having come from Vancouver Island, I must say that our transition to Red Deer was surprisingly gentle. The wonderful green spaces this city offers makes up nicely for the greenery left behind on the Island. There is, however, one black eye that reveals itself every fall and winter in this otherwise fine city: vehicles left idling for extended periods of time. I have witnessed this in all areas of the city from street-metered parking in the downtown core, Bower and Parkland malls and even at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. In all fairness, the vehicles I’ve witnessed idling, doors locked, the vehicle empty of passengers, range from compact cars to SUVs and large half- and threequarter ton trucks. However, the majority of these global warmers are the huge trucks. One would think that based on the successful economy here in Alberta, oil and natural gas, of which I assume the majority of the owners of these vehicles draw their living from, would hold a sense of responsibility to the environment. Unfortunately, I see more of a sense of entitlement. It’s sad that with all the economic success this province has to offer that those reaping the financial benefits choose to be so irresponsible. I applaud the town of Canmore for recently adopting a new anti-idling bylaw, limiting the idling of a vehicle to five minutes, less they receive a $90 fine. I challenge the city councillors of Red Deer to do the same! Show your support for the environment by limiting the public carbon footprint in our city. Our children will breathe easier for it.

We would like to offer our sincere thanks to the students and teachers of Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School for their excellent Remembrance Day service on Nov. 5.

Remembrance Day ceremonies lacked proper sound system Remembrance Day services in Red Deer were well attended again, which I am very glad to see. Among us were those who lived through it all, then those of us who came along in the recovery era of those lives, and now many of the children who are blessed to learn about the freedom we have all known and loved because of the dedicated lives that were given for our country. The Red Deer Arena was packed and many had standing room only. The Red Deer Royals and the Legion Pipe and Drum band were fantastic as always. The colour party was perfect, as was the Last Post trumpeter. Many clubs and support groups of all ages were present along with our loved RCMP. The program was well planned and printed. What happened to the sound system? Why could my friends and I in the closest northwest corner not hear? We did not hear the presentation of the Silver Cross Mother, Cora Fedyk, at all nor the speech given by the padre in white or even his name.

return (just 1.1 per cent of total federal revenues). A wealth of research shows that eliminating or at least reducing capital gains taxes would increase the supply and lower the cost of capital for new and expanding firms, leading to higher levels of entrepreneurship, economic growth, and job creation. The Conservatives should be commended for sticking to their commitment to the balance budget. But balancing the budget cannot become an end in itself or it can come to serve as a justification for spending increases with limited economic benefit. Reducing personal income tax rates and capital gains taxes would be a productive use of future surpluses. Charles Lammam and Milagros Palacios are economists at the Fraser Institute.

Much of what the MC and chair said was lost and I do not have a hearing problem! Why do they not use the sound system used at hockey games? Our group then proceeded to the Legion, which was also packed. There we enjoyed sandwiches and coffee (or beer) and shared being together. When the planned part of the program started, however, the same problem continued as those in the north half of the building were not able to hear the music or presentations. There was obviously a lot of team work, effort and planning that went into all of the Remembrance Day and the importance it holds in our lives. However, it is very disappointing to make the effort to go there if you are not able to hear what is said. The Legion is struggling to survive into the next generation. My prayer is that these observations can help to tweak these areas of need before the next 11/11/11. Thanks you for listening. Winnie Jackson Red Deer

Caring for bees and environment not embraced by every community How might I find out please more about the permanent banning of neonicotinoids and related pesticides that are known to have adverse effects on the health of pollinator populations? Do you plan on doing more stories on the City of Red Deer and the two Councillors Paul Harris and Lynne Mulder who are promoting pollinator habitat, and how may I be part of this program? I do not live in the city of Red Deer. My county (of Wetaskiwin, No. 10) has no plans to pursue this as they are very non-progressive and are closed minded, and think only of money and taxes and how to get more and more money and taxes, and care not about bees as does the city of Red Deer!

ISIL fighters ‘likely’ killed in airstrike

Meanwhile, there are reports the U.S. is considering a major change in strategy. On Wednesday, CNN said President Barack Obama has asked his national security team to review its Syria policy and whether ISIL can be defeated without the removal of President Bashar al-Assad. Canada’s combat commitment is limited to Iraq, although Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said it could be expanded into Syria if the Syrian government gives its permission. The U.S. Central Command — CENTCOM — has also issued notice that a week-long planning conference is underway ay MacDill Air Force Base in Florida involving the 30 nations that are part of the coalition. A respected Washington-based think-tank issued a report Thursday saying the U.S. “has only made slow and unstable progress in developing a strategy.” Anthony Cordesman, of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the U.S. needs to set real, tangible objectives and timelines for the military campaign. “The U.S. has talked about ’degrading and destroying’ the Islamic State without setting clear goals for what this actually means,” he wrote. “It initially focused on a very limited air campaign to both halt (ISIL) gains and attack key Islamic State centres in Syria. This effort came too late and was so publicly foreshadowed that key elements of the Islamic State were able to heed the strategic warning and disperse and shelter in populated areas.”

Ottawa cops looking into reports of phoney soldier at Remembrance Day ceremony OTTAWA — Police are looking into claims that a man impersonated a Canadian soldier when he showed up in full — but flawed — military regalia at this week’s Remembrance Day ceremonies in Ottawa. Eagle-eyed veterans and soldiers knew right away that something was amiss as the man was being interviewed during CBC’s live coverage of Tuesday’s events near the National War Memorial. Various media reports have cited complaints about the style of the man’s beard, the type of beret on his head, the positioning of his medals and badges and the fact that he wasn’t wearing a sash during the interview. It is a crime under the Criminal Code to impersonate a soldier. After initially saying they had not received a formal complaint, Ottawa police issued a tweet Thursday to say that they would be launching an investigation. “The man possibly made unlawful use of military uniform or certificates at the Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa,” said the tweet. Earlier in the day, an Ottawa police spokesman said no one had filed a complaint about the man, whose appearance on television reportedly prompted a number of complaints from veterans and soldiers alike. During a live CBC interview, the man identified himself as Franck Gervais — but the Department of National Defence says it has no record of anyone by that name. The public broadcaster has since issued a statement expressing regret about the interview.

OTTAWA — Canadian warplanes have destroyed only two Islamic State targets in nearly two weeks of air operations, but the commander of the mission says success can’t be measured in the number of bombs dropped. The air campaign is putting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on the “defensive,” prompting militants to hide vehicles and equipment from the prying eyes of surveillance aircraft, Col. Dan Constable insisted Thursday. “They’re hiding more,” Constable said via conference call from the secret base in Kuwait where Canadian CF-18 jets have been operating. “They’re providing fewer targets, which also means they’re a less a capable force.” He provided more details on Tuesday’s bombing mission near Bayji, 200 kilometres north of Baghdad, in which a Canadian laser-guided bomb obliterated an Islamic State artillery piece that was being moved along a road. “The battle damage assessment shows the main target — the artillery piece — was destroyed, and there likely were ISIL casualties,” Constable said. Only militants were operating in the area and no civilians were hit, he added. Constable was unable to say whether the enemy target was a howitzer or a truck-mounted, rocket-propelled artillery piece. One of Canada’s CP-140 Aurora spy planes had been operating in the area, but he would not say if it played a role. Canada’s first airstrike on Nov. 2 de-

stroyed heavy construction equipment that was being used to construct defensive positions near Fallujah. The assertion that ISIL is keeping its head down comes just days after a separate U.S.-led coalition airstrike near the occupied city of Mosul that apparently wounded the group’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The airstrike hit a convoy of vehicles that included a number of senior ISIL leaders and was out in the open and moving when it was hit. Also Thursday, al-Baghdadi resurfaced in an audio recording that taunted a number of coalition countries, including Canada, saying they are frightened and “stumbling between fear, weakness, inability, and failure.” Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney wasted no time using the recording as political ammunition, issuing a statement that characterized the jeer as another instance where “terrorists directly threaten violence against Canada.” There has been criticism in Washington that too few airstrikes are taking place in Iraq and Syria, compared with other recent campaigns in Libya and elsewhere. But Constable said the bombing campaign has forced ISIL to “pause its offensive movements” and switch to the defensive. Over the long term, he said, he’s confident the coalition will “ultimately defeat” the group. During the parliamentary debate that authorized the use of Canadian warplanes, opposition MPs feared that Canada would find few remaining targets in the wake of initial U.S. attacks in late August and September.

‘Murder for lobster’ case Crown suggests begins for one of accused MAGNOTTA TRIAL

similarities between killing, film BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NOVA SCOTIA

PORT HAWKESBURY, N.S. — A Cape Breton fisherman whose body has never been found was dragged out to sea with a gaff and tied to an anchor after he was shot and his boat was rammed three times, the Crown said as a murder trial got underway Thursday. Prosecutor Steve Drake delivered his opening arguments at the trial of Joseph James Landry, who has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death last year of Phillip Boudreau. Landry, 67, of Little Anse, is one of four people charged in the case. Drake told a jury that Boudreau, 43, died as the result of a sustained attack by a three-man lobster fishing crew that included Landry. “This case is about murder for lobster,” Drake told the Nova Scotia Supreme Court. “It’s not about a loss of control. The crew of the Twin Maggies carried out a sustained attack.” Drake said the Twin Maggies rammed Boudreau’s boat three times at the mouth of Petit de Grat harbour on June 1, 2013. He said Landry fired four shots from a rifle, one of which hit Boudreau’s leg. Boudreau’s boat overturned after it was rammed the third time and he was then hooked with a gaff and dragged out to sea, Drake said. “You will hear through witnesses Landry using his own words, ’Get him ... Kill him,”’ he told the court. Police launched an extensive search of the area that only turned up Boudreau’s black and teal baseball-style cap on the shoreline and his green rubber

fishing boots in water, about 20 metres off shore, Drake said. Boudreau was last seen by his brother near the Petit de Grat wharf on June 1, 2013, just before 6 a.m., Drake said. He said Boudreau took his red and white speedboat out on the water and it was found overturned without its motor by a local fisherman about one hour later. Drake said according to a statement provided to the police by Craig Landry, a deckhand on the Twin Maggies, Boudreau initially clung to a red gas can after his boat overturned. Joseph James Landry hooked Boudreau with a fishing gaff, but it slipped, so he hooked Boudreau again, Drake said. At one point, Boudreau managed to free himself by slipping out of a sweater, but Joseph James Landry hooked him a third time, Drake added. He said Craig Landry noticed white foam bubbling from Boudreau’s mouth and his body turned face down in the water. That’s when the three-man crew tied an anchor to Boudreau’s neck and upper arms, dropping him in an area with a water depth of about 22 metres. Craig Landry told police that at that point, Joseph Landry said, “That’s deep enough,” Drake said. Craig Landry of Petit de Grat originally faced a second-degree murder charge but that was withdrawn. He now faces a charge of accessory after the fact in the case.

MONTREAL — Jun Lin’s slaying had many parallels to scenes from the film Basic Instinct, which may have inspired Luka Rocco Magnotta in his acts, the Crown suggested at his murder trial Thursday. Prosecutor Louis Bouthillier brought up references to the early-1990s film during his cross-examination of defence psychiatrist Marie-Frederique Allard. Allard testified Magnotta had mentioned the movie and being a fan of lead actress Sharon Stone. Bouthillier then provided examples to show the links went further. He said her character is suspected of killing a man with an ice pick during sex. Magnotta, who has pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder of Lin by way of mental disorder, published the dismemberment in an online video entitled One Lunatic, One Ice Pick. Bouthillier raised other similarities: a silver ice pick is used in the movie while one of Magnotta’s weapons was a black screwdriver that had been spray-painted silver. Magnotta’s alias while on the lam — Kirk Tramell — had the same surname as Stone’s character, Catherine Tramell. Magnotta blames much of his troubles on a man named Manny Lopez, an alleged pimp and ex-boyfriend whose existence has not been formally estabIn a statement, Diab described life since his arBY THE CANADIAN PRESS lished. rest six years ago as a Kafkaesque nightmare.

Child porn charge nets conditional discharge HALIFAX — A young man who pleaded guilty to making child pornography after he took a picture of an intoxicated teenager having sex at a party was given a conditional discharge and a sharp reprimand by the judge for destroying the girl’s life. The 20-year-old stood stone-faced Thursday as the youth court judge spent 40 minutes reading the sentence in a case that captured national attention after the girl was taken off life-support following a suicide attempt last year. She was 17. “He should never forget the promising, vibrant, young life that was eventually destroyed by his choice to record an act of sexual degradation,” Judge Gregory Lenehan told the packed courtroom in Halifax. “You did in a few seconds set in motion a series of events that led to a great deal of shame, humiliation, anger, despair, anguish, loss, hurt and destruction.” The young man, who cannot be identified under a statutory publication ban because he was 17 at the time of the offence, will also have to register with the national DNA database and meet with a youth worker periodically for 12 months. He was also ordered to issue a written apology to the girl’s family. He pleaded guilty in September to one count of making child pornography while another charge of distributing child porn was dropped. Another young man is facing trial on Nov. 24 on that count.

Departure of top staffer marks shakeup underway at Veterans Affairs OTTAWA — Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino is losing a key staff member in yet another sign that a major shakeup is underway in the politically troubled portfolio. Jacques Fauteux, Fantino’s chief of staff and top adviser, revealed Thursday that he is leaving, effective immediately. It is unclear at the moment who will take over for him. His departure comes just days after retired general Walt Natynczyk, the country’s former top military commander, took over as deputy minister, the department’s top civil servant. Natynczyk’s appointment, announced by the prime minister at the end of October, was seen as a move by the Conservatives to get a handle on a file that has caused the government a lot of grief. Angry veterans promised again this week to campaign against the Conservatives in next year’s election, citing grievances about benefits and the closure of Veterans Affairs offices. The minister was involved in a testy exchange with ex-soldiers on Parliament Hill last UP TO winter and also walked away from an angry military wife last spring — two televised incidents that made him appear less than sympathetic to the plight of the wounded and their families.

Liberal colleagues say misconduct probe shouldn’t drag

“I had to watch my promising, intelligent, full-oflife child turn into an empty ghost, her dreams turn to ashes, her laughter turn to anger and cries,” he said through tears. “This is not the way this had to end.” At the September hearing, the Crown read into the court record an agreed statement of facts that said the male youth who was having sex with the girl in the fall of 2011, smiled for the camera and gave the thumbs up. “The act depicted in the photo that you took is vile. It’s degrading. It’s dehumanizing,” Lenehan said. “It was not something to have been documented. It was a time for your intervention. ... It was not a trophy moment.” The Crown said the girl — who was 15 at the time — was unaware that the picture was being taken and did not give consent to it. Lenehan said he was satisfied the young man felt remorse for his actions because he made “a full and frank admission of his involvement.”

This was written in a card given to a teacher at the end of the school year. The child’s mom had asked her daughter what she was thankful for:

Thank you for teaching me new stuff. Thank you for teaching me new songs. Thank you for bringing Emma (your dog) to school. Thank you for letting the butterﬂies go with Mr. Fred and all the kids

in showing leadership for addressing the issue in a respectful and lasting manner,” Mulcair wrote. The tri-partisan, closed-door board of internal economy had already moved up its scheduled meeting to Tuesday to deal with the allegations, which first surfaced last week. While Liberal MPs support Trudeau’s action as the only one he could have taken under the political circumstances, some of them say the men now deserve to have the matter dealt with as quickly as possible. “There needs to be an urgent decision made by the (committee). They shouldn’t have waited a whole week,” said Liberal MP Hedy Fry. “They should have done it, met, as quickly as possible, and get a process in place so that everybody would be able to have an ability to tell their story in a safe and secure and confidential environment.”

OTTAWA — In the fishbowl that is federal politics, how do two suspended Liberal MPs accused of unspecified personal misconduct get their shot at due process? This is the messy question causing angst within Liberal circles, a week after leader Justin Trudeau suspended Massimo Pacetti and Scott Andrews. Here’s the problem: There is no process for dealing with complaints of harassment between MPs. Where a person accused in a corporate or public service workplace might have first gone through a confidential investigation or mediation process before being reprimanded, Pacetti and Andrews were outed and ousted right from the starting gate. Neither the details of the misconduct of which they are accused, nor the names of the alleged victims, have been released publicly. On Thursday, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair wrote to Trudeau and Prime Minister Stephen Harper urging the parties to develop a sexual harassment code of conduct and appoint a third party to deal with complaints as they arise. “I know that we are all keenly aware of the responsibility we share in ensuring harassment free workplaces, both in our workplace here in Ottawa and in the wide variety of places of work across this country, and

The girl’s identity is also protected by a mandatory publication ban. Several protesters gathered outside the court to protest the ban, saying it silences the victim’s relatives from telling their story, and some people voiced their opposition by naming her on social media. Her family along with supporters also wore Tshirts bearing the girl’s name. The girl’s father said he is satisfied with the sentence, despite having initially indicated he would like to see jail time for the young man who the judge said was unable to complete high school and suffered psychologically as a result of the incident. “I agree with the judge — I think he had an awful lot of very strong words,” the father said outside court. “In a way, I feel good about it today even though it’s been a hell of a journey.” In an emotional address to the court, the girl’s mother said she witnessed the slow, eventual loss of her daughter after the incident and dissemination of the photo, which showed her vomiting out a window as someone had sex with her from behind. “That photo ruined her life. She was never the same again,” she told the court in a victim impact statement. “She started to crumble and it was like a wrecking ball hit her.” Her father said in his victim impact statement that his once cheerful and chatty daughter sank into a depression.

A9 Iraq’s PM shakes up military FRIDAY, NOV. 14, 2014

NEARLY 900 SAID KILLED IN AIRSTRIKES IN SYRIA

Islamic State, al-Qaida branch agree to work together in Syria

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Iraq’s prime minister on Wednesday ordered his first major shakeup of his military since taking office three months ago, relieving 26 army officers of their commands and retiring 10 others as a monitoring group said airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State group and other extremists in neighbouring Syria have killed more than 860 people, including civilians, since they began in September. The Iraqi military shakeup, which included the appointment of 18 new commanders, was ordered “as part of efforts to reinforce the work of the military on the basis of professionalism and fighting graft in all its forms,” according to a statement posted on Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s official website. “The aim is not to punish anyone, but rather to improve our military performance,” al-Abadi later said in comments to senior army officers. A government official said the shake-up followed the findings of a probe ordered last month by al-Abadi on corruption in the military. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Under Iraq’s constitution, al-Abadi, like Nouri al-Maliki before him, holds the post of General Commander of the Armed Forces. But it was al-Maliki, now a vice-president, who had tightly controlled the military during his eight-year rule, with several elite units taking their orders directly from him. Al-Maliki, in the final months of his administration, had spoken at length about corruption in the military — particularly in the wake of an embarrassing rout of Iraqi forces which saw the Islamic State militants capture about a third of the country in a few months. He cited cases where soldiers paid half their salary to their commanders so they could stay away from their units and work a second job. He also relieved several top commanders from their command and ordered others investigated for dereliction of duty. Al-Abadi’s move comes as government security forces and Shiite militias have largely halted the Islamic State militants’ advance, even rolling them back from some areas with the help of coalition airstrikes. But heavy fighting still rages on multiple fronts, and attacks on government troops and civilians remain common, particularly in Baghdad. On Wednesday, three bombings in and around the Iraqi capital killed at least 17 people and wounded nearly 40, police and hospital officials said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but they all bore the hallmarks of the Islamic State group’s tactics. The deadliest bombing took place in the turbulent Youssifiyah district south of Baghdad, where a suicide car bomber hit an army checkpoint, killing six soldiers and wounding 16 people, including 10 civilians. Earlier in the day, a car bomb near a cluster of shops in western Baghdad killed six civilians and wounded 13 just minutes before

The leader of the Islamic State group said it will fight to the last man, in a strident audio recording released on social media networks Thursday that was his first public statement since a U.S.-led alliance launched airstrikes against his fighters in Iraq and Syria. a suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance of a nearby police station, killing five policemen and wounding 10. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, meanwhile, said on Wednesday that the vast majority of the more than 860 people killed in coalition airstrikes in Syria — 746 people — were Islamic State militants, while another 68 were members of al-Qaida’s Syrian affiliate, the Nusra Front. At least 50 civilians, including eight children and five women, also have been killed in the airstrikes, the group said. The U.S.-led coalition’s aerial campaign in Syria began before dawn on Sept. 23 in what President Barack Obama has called an effort to roll back and ultimately destroy the Islamic State group. The militant extremist group has been the primary target of the coalition’s strikes, although on at least two occasions the United States has targeted what it says is a specific cell within the Nusra Front allegedly plotting attacks against American interests. In northern Syria, meanwhile, Kurdish forces defending the town of Kobani from Islamic State militants took control of much of a strategic hill overlooking the town, local official Idriss Nassan and Kurdish fighter Dalil Bo-

ras said. Nassan also said the Kurds managed to secure a road on the southeastern side of the town that the Islamic State had used to ferry supplies and reinforcements to its fighters besieging Kobani. “This is big progress for the Kurdish forces,” Nassan said. The U.S. Central Command said the U.S. and allied nations conducted sixteen airstrikes in Syria and seven in Iraq since Monday. Most of those airstrikes were carried out near Kobani. Elsewhere in Iraq, government forces backed by Shiite militiamen are facing tough resistance from Islamic State fighters in the refinery town of Beiji north of Baghdad, a day after they pushed militants out of the town centre, according to two military officials reached there by telephone. They said government forces were inching closer to the besieged refinery in Beiji, which accounts for a quarter of Iraq’s refining capacity. Lifting the siege of the refinery was the next objective in the campaign, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

ISTANBUL, Turkey — Militant leaders from the Islamic State group and al-Qaida gathered at a farm house in northern Syria last week and agreed on a plan to stop fighting each other and work together against their opponents, a high-level Syrian opposition official and a rebel commander have told The Associated Press. Such an accord could present new difficulties for Washington’s strategy against the IS group. While warplanes from a U.S.-led coalition strike militants from the air, the Obama administration has counted on arming “moderate” rebel factions to push them back on the ground. Those rebels, already considered relatively weak and disorganized, would face far stronger opposition if the two heavy-hitting militant groups now are working together. IS — the group that has seized nearly a third of Syria and Iraq with a campaign of brutality and beheadings this year — and alQaida’s affiliate in Syria, known as the Nusra Front, have fought each other bitterly for more than a year to dominate the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar Assad. The Associated Press reported late last month on signs that the two groups appear to have curtailed their feud with informal local truces. Their new agreement would involve a promise to stop fighting and team up in attacks in some areas of northern Syria. Co-operation, however, would fall short of unifying the rival groups, and experts believe any pact between the two sides could easily unravel. U.S. intelligence officials have been watching the groups closely and say a full merger is not expected soon — if ever. A U.S. official with access to intelligence about Syria said the American intelligence community has not seen any indications of a shift in the two groups’ strategy, but added that he could not rule out tactical deals on the ground. The official insisted on anonymity because he said he was not authorized to speak publicly about the subject. According to a Syrian opposition official speaking in Turkey, the meeting took place Nov. 2 in the town of Atareb, west of Aleppo, starting at around midnight and lasting until 4 a.m. The official said the meeting was closely followed by members of his movement, and he is certain that an agreement was reached. The official said about seven top militant leaders attended. A second source, a commander of brigades affiliated with the Western-backed Free Syrian Army who is known as Abu Musafer, said he also had learned that high-ranking members of Nusra and IS met on Nov. 2. He did not disclose the exact location.

Cliff casts shadow on mission COMET LANDER PHILAE MAY RUN OUT OF POWER WITHIN DAYS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — A shadow was cast — literally — across Europe’s historic mission to land on and explore a comet. Scientists said Thursday the landing craft not only bounced twice, it also came to rest next to a cliff that’s blocking sunlight from its solar panels. The good news is that the lander Philae is stable and in good health: Its scientific instruments have already begun gathering reams of data to send back to Earth, including the first pictures taken from the surface of a comet. The bad news is that its useful lifetime may now be much shorter. With just a day or two left before the lander’s primary battery is exhausted, scientists were considering what acrobatic manoeuvres to risk in order to get the solar panels out of the shadows so they can keep Philae going for a few more months. The first photos sent back to Earth revealed the comet’s rocky terrain, including an image that showed one of the lander’s three feet in the corner of the frame. They indicate that Philae’s instruments are working properly, said Jean-Pierre Bibring, the lander’s lead scientist at the European Space Agency. Before deciding whether to try to adjust the lander, scientists will spend the next day or two collecting as much data as possible while its primary battery still has energy. The lander’s solar panels were designed to provide an extra hour of battery life each day after that, but this may not be possible now. “We see that we get less solar power than we planned for,” said Koen Geurts of the lander team. “This, of course, has an impact on our ... capabilities to conduct science for an extended period of time,” he said. “Unfortunately this is not a situation that we were hoping for.” The lander scored a cosmic first Wednesday, touching down on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko after a decade-long, 6.4 billion-kilometre journey through space aboard its mother ship, Rosetta. The comet is streaking through space at 41,000 mph some 311 million miles from Earth. The landing was beset by a series of problems that began when thrusters meant to push Philae onto the comet failed. Then two harpoons, which should have anchored the lander to the surface, weren’t deployed. This caused the lander to bounce off the comet and drift through the void for two hours before touching down again. After a second smaller bounce, scientists believe it came to rest in a shallow crater on the comet’s 2 ½ mile-wide body, or nucleus. “We are just in the shadow of a cliff,” Bibring

Attorneys for family of slain 18-year-old urge restraint after Ferguson decision CLAYTON, Mo. — Attorneys for the family of an 18-year-old, unarmed black man shot dead by police are urging restraint by both protesters and police once a grand jury decides whether the suburban St. Louis officer who shot him should face charges. Attorneys Anthony Gray and Benjamin Crump held a press conference Thursday outside a county facility, where the grand jury is meeting and Dr. Michael Baden, who performed a private autopsy on the family’s behalf, was testifying. Michael Brown’s parents, who were in Geneva this week as the U.N. Committee Against Torture heard testimony about U.S. policies, did not attend. Their attorneys echoed Gov. Jay Nixon’s call for protesters to avoid rioting, looting and violence, but faulted him for not also calling on police to exercise restraint. Police were widely criticized for using armoured vehicles and tear gas to respond to mostly peaceful but occasionally violent protests in the days after Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson shot Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, after telling him to stop walking in the street. Wilson told investigators he felt threatened while fighting with Brown from inside a police SUV, where an initial shot was fired, according to information provided to news outlets by people described as familiar with the investigation, but not otherwise identified.

The combination photo of different images taken with the CIVA camera system released by the European Space Agency ESA on Thursday shows Rosetta’s lander Philae as it is safely on the surface of Comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko, as these first CIVA images confirm. One of the lander’s three feet can be seen in the foreground. Philae became the first spacecraft to land on a comet when it touched down Wednesday on the comet, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. said, adding that photos indicate the cliff could be just a few yards (meters) away. “We are in a shadow permanently, and that is part of the problem.” Bibring and his colleagues stressed that the data they’ll be able to collect with the primary batteries alone will have made the landing worthwhile. “A lot of science is getting covered now,” he said, noting that soon scientists will get their hands on a tomography of the comet and data showing whether the matter it is made of is magnetized. But because the lander is just resting on the comet with nothing but low gravity holding it down, Philae will have to hold off on one of the most important experiments — drilling into the comet to extract some of the material buried beneath the surface. Scientists want to analyze this material because it has remained almost unchanged for 4.5 billion years,

making it something of a cosmic time capsule. “Drilling without being anchored and without knowing how you are on the surface is dangerous. We might just tip over the lander,” said Stephan Ulamec, head of operations for Philae. Gravity on the comet is 1/100,000th that of Earth, meaning the washing machine-sized lander weighs just 0.04 ounces (1 gram) there. Ground controllers will likely wait until the first big batch of data has been collected before attempting to adjust the lander so that its solar panels can catch the sun and charge its batteries. Communication with the lander is slow, with signals taking more than 28 minutes to travel between Earth and the Rosetta orbiter flying above the comet.

rity and safety, leading to several firings, demotions and other disciplinary actions against a range of Air Force personnel from generals to airmen. Hagel’s moves, while not dramatic, are designed to get at the core of the problem, the officials said. The senior defence officials discussed the reviews and Hagel’s response to them on condition of anonymity. Hagel was expected to announce his decisions at a morning news conference Friday and then fly to Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, home of a Minuteman 3 missile unit whose recent setbacks are emblematic of the trouble dogging the broader force. The Air Force has been hit hardest by the problems, particularly its Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile force based in North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. The AP documented numerous missteps over the past two years, including misbehaviour by ICBM force leaders, lapses in training, violations of security rules and exam cheating.

Hagel to order overhaul of nuke force management WASHINGTON — Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel has concluded that problems in the nation’s nuclear forces are rooted in a lack of investment, inattention by high-level leaders and sagging morale, and is ordering top-to-bottom changes, vowing to invest billions of dollars to fix the management of the world’s most deadly weapons, two senior defence officials told The Associated Press on Thursday. Hagel ordered two lengthy reviews of the nuclear force after a series of stories by the AP revealed numerous problems in management, morale, secu-

Florida man who killed wife and stepdaughter put to death STARKE, Fla. — A Florida man who fatally shot his sleeping wife and then raped and killed his young stepdaughter 22 years ago was put to death Thursday for the child’s slaying. Chadwick Banks, 43, was pronounced dead at 7:27 p.m. EST Thursday after a lethal injection at Florida State Prison, the office of Gov. Rick Scott said. Banks was condemned for the 1992 killing of 10-year-old Melody Cooper. Banks also received a life sentence for the murder of his wife, Cassandra Banks, in the attack in Florida. Banks wore the white skullcap of the Muslim Brotherhood before the lethal drugs were administered, looking directly at the family of the victims when he delivered his final statement. “I’m very sorry for the hurt and pain I have caused

Flames stay hot with win over ‘Yotes BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Flames 5 Coyotes 3 CALGARY — Snake-bitten since scoring in the Calgary Flames season opener, Paul Byron finally snapped a 16-game goalless streak on Thursday. Playing in career game No. 99, Byron’s first NHL two-goal game helped the Flames to a 5-3 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes. “It felt good. It was a lot of work coming, a lot of time shooting pucks in practice with the coaching staff and stuff like that,” said Byron. “The chances have been coming and I’ve been extremely happy with that. It was just a matter of time, I thought, before they started going in.” Since beating Ryan Miller for Calgary’s first goal of the season back on Oct. 8, Byron has had at least a half-dozen breakaways that he has failed to convert. “We just don’t want him to get any more breakaways,” said Mark Giordano, with a chuckle. “He gets breakaways, he doesn’t bury them. But 2-on-1’s, 3-on-2’s, he’s money. We’ll just let him pull up or something next time he gets a break.” Playing right wing on a line with rookie centre Josh Jooris and struggling left-winger Sven Baertschi, the trio had a superb night. After the first went in to open the scoring, Byron’s second restored the Flames lead at 2-1. Byron said he felt different as soon as that first one went in. “It certainly changes your confidence going forward in the game. It gets a little mojo in your game and it feels like the rest of the game, pucks seem to follow your stick a lit-

Hopefully, I can keep that going.” Both goals were set up directly on nice plays by Baertschi, who collected his first two points of the season. “Sven was skating. I felt he was feeling it. He held the puck, he was making plays, he gave us a great offensive game and that’s who he is. He’s a playmaker,” said Flames coach Bob Hartley. Sean Monahan, Mark Giordano and David Jones — with his third goal in as many games — also scored for Calgary (10-6-2). The Flames, who

have won five of their last seven, were kicking off a fivegame homestand that will continue Saturday night against the Ottawa Senators. Shane Doan, Antoine Vermette and Joe Vitale scored for Arizona (6-9-1), which has lost three straight. The Coyotes will continue their three-game road swing through Western Canada with a game Friday night in Vancouver. “Way too many opportunities for them and gave up too many chances and we have to be better,” said Doan. “We had opportunities to win the

game but we made dumb mental mistakes.” After scoring twice to tie it 3-3, Arizona fell behind once again on a goal by Giordano, which came on a neat set-up from defence partner TJ Brodie. Brodie faked a shot at the point to give him space, then moved in and after freezing goaltender Mike Smith, slid the puck down low to Giordano, who wired a one-timer just under the crossbar to put Calgary ahead for good. “As soon as he got the puck, I knew exactly what he was

going to do. He’s got that great fake. He took the puck to the middle of the ice to draw the guy even more over. I was just wide open and I was just trying to hit the net from there to be honest,” said Giordano. It was the sixth goal of the season for the Flames captain, who is on an eight-game points streak (five goals, 13 assists). Coming after a 4-1 setback to Carolina on Monday, the victory improves Calgary’s record to 7-0-1 after a loss. “It’s been a focus of ours. The good teams don’t lose two, three, four games in a row, they cut those losing streaks off right away,” said Giordano. “I thought we had a tough game in Carolina but the bounce-back was good, the guys were moving tonight. I thought we created a lot. Calgary got some insurance at 12:23 of the third when Jones’ flung the puck toward the front of the net and it banked in off of the leg of Connor Murphy. Jones was questionable to play due to an illness that kept him from participating in the game-day skate. “Calgary made plays to get to the front of the net on our turnovers. When we don’t have the puck enough to make those plays, it’s hard to get in front of their net,” said Phoenix coach Dave Tippett. “There are plays that have to get made, saves that have to get done, we just have to play better as a group.” Starting for the seventh time in the last eight games, Hiller overcame an awful goal against him from a bad angle that tied it 3-3, to finish the night with 20 stops and improve to 8-4-1. It has been a shaky start to the season for Smith, who had 20 saves to see his record fall to 4-9-0.

Oilers comeback falls short in OT loss to Sens THE CANADIAN PRESS Senators 4 Oilers 3 OT EDMONTON — The Ottawa Senators weren’t about to give up another point in extra time. Mike Hoffman scored a pair of goals, including the overtime winner, as the Ottawa Senators snapped a threegame losing skid, hanging on for a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. Hoffman sent a shot from the slot under the arm of Oilers goalie Ben Scrivens 2:39 into overtime to preserve the win for the Senators, who had let a 3-0 lead slip away and had lost in extra time in two of their three previous games. “We weren’t going to let that one slip away in overtime. The last couple games we went to overtime we did,’’ said Senator forward Curtis Lazar, who picked up an assist on the winning goal. “It was a great shot by Hoffman.’’ Ottawa head coach Paul MacLean said his team couldn’t afford to let any more points get away from them during this stretch. “At the end of the day, we found a way to win a game on the road,’’ he said. “It was a great effort by the team. You don’t make up ground or get ahead in this league by getting

one point. You have to do it by twos. We have to make sure that we take our wins when we can get them.’’ Alex Chiasson and Milan Michalek also scored for the Senators (8-4-4) who are 3-1-2 in their last six outings. Leon Draisaitl, Jordan Eberle and Jeff Petry responded for the Oilers (6-9-2) who have lost two in a row, but were pleased to battle back and capture at least a point. “It’s good that we didn’t just throw in the towel and say they can just have this one,’’ said Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who picked up a pair of assists. “We battled back hard against Nashville (a 3-2 loss after also trailing 3-0 in the first period on Tuesday) and we did the same tonight. We got a point out of this tonight. We showed some good things there for sure, but those things can’t happen, we can’t go out there and get down three. We have to go out there, especially at home and build off the lead right off the start.’’ Petry said the way the team battled back is a good sign. “In past years we might have packed it in, but it shows a lot of fight in this team,’’ he said. “We’re never going to give up and we showed it tonight. We came in here after the first period and we knew we had a lot of hockey

left to play. It wasn’t the start we wanted, but we still had 40 minutes to respond and I thought we responded well.’’ Ottawa got on the board three-and-a-half minutes into the game after Cody Ceci picked off a poor clearing attempt by Edmonton and fed it to Hoffman, who used defender Justin Schultz as a screen to cleanly beat Scrivens with a wrist shot. It was the third consecutive game Hoffman has scored a goal. The Senators took a 2-0 lead with seven minutes remaining in the opening frame as Chiasson tipped a Chris Phillips shot from just above the top of the circle into the net for his fourth of the season. Edmonton had a chance to get one of those goals back a minute later but Mark Arcobello fanned on a shot with a wide-open net to shoot at before Senators starter Craig Anderson could get across. Ottawa took a three-goal lead with four minutes left in the first as Bobby Ryan made a nice pass across to Michalek, who beat Scrivens high to the stick side with a bullet of a shot. The Sens outshot the Oilers 17-7 in the first. Edmonton finally got some momentum with seven minutes remaining in the second period as Draisaitl chipped in

The Oilers closed the shots to 23-20 in Ottawa’s favour after 40 minutes. Edmonton got to within a

goal midway through the third after Eberle was able to tuck in a loose puck during a mad scramble in front of Anderson in the Ottawa net. It was Eberle’s 100th career NHL goal.

Als have played well at home and have of the best pressure defences in the league, along with the CFL’s best stable of receivers. They have played well at home and should be a presumptive favorite against the jet-lagged Leos. So why have I picked the Lions to win this game? Do not rule out brain injury, but the main reason is I believe the Lions have enough weapons to pull an upset in Montreal. B.C. has aggressive linebackers, good special teams, and the biggest intangible of all: Kevin Glenn. He has an opportunity to dispel the choker label and I believe Glenn is enough to make the difference with his quick release passing style pitted against Montreal’s blitz-happy defence.

ers do not want to play their hands at quarterback and both teams announced their backups as starters in the playoff game. Both teams also included their starters in practice this week. The only certainty is these teams loathe each other because they will meet for the third time in less than a month. Eskimo defensive lineman Almondo Sewell was interviewed at halftime during last weekend’s Rider-Eskimo game and stated it “was about to get real emotional out there”, in reference to the ugly mood on the field. Things will heat up this Sunday on a cold football field in Edmonton and it will get even more emotional in the playoff game. I expect both teams to start their backups and I believe the Eskimos are less likely to play quarterback Mike Reilly in the game. The Riders will likely start Kerry Joseph, even though he has been less than

stellar since his return to Regina. The Eskimos will likely ride the arm of slow-footed backup pivot Matt Nichols into the game while utilizing the substantial talents of first year tailback John White. There are plenty of “likelies” in my past few sentences because neither team wants to show their hand before the game. That is Football 101. However, I will step up to the plate and predict a Rider victory on Sunday. The Riders will be reasonably healthy on both sides of the ball, given the time of year. Saskatchewan will finally have all of their starters on the Oline and will rely upon the run game to establish dominance over the aggressive Eskimo defence. Meanwhile the Rider defence know where to find Nichols on every play and will exploit his immobility. Look for a Rider victory in the game.

WHL THE ICE THIS WEEK IN REBELS HISTORY Doug Lynch became a former Red Deer Rebels captain when Doug he was dealt Lynch to the Spokane Chiefs on Nov. 14 of 2002. The 19-yearold defenceman and Edmonton Oilers draft pick harboured mixed emotions while saying his goodbyes to his former teammates. “It’s kind of an empty feeling leaving all my friends here, but at the same time I look forward to the positives. I’ll be on a good team and I’m looking forward to a fresh start,” said Lynch, who won a Memorial Cup with the Rebels and in fact scored the overtime goal in the 2001 final at Regina. “That’s the hardest part, leaving the guys I’ve played with for four years. We’re best buddies. It’s tough but it’s part of the business and I wish all the guys the best of luck here, until Feb. 8 when they come down to Spokane.” Lynch and 17-yearold defenceman Ryan Blatchford were traded to Spokane in return for defenceman Stuart Kerr and forward Matt Keith, who went on to score 26 goals and record 51 points in 49 regular-season games with the Rebels in 2002-03 and collected another 13 points (6-7) in 23 playoff outings.

WHO’S HOT Swift Current Broncos LW Coda Gordon is cruising along on a 12-game Coda points streak, Gordon having scored six goals and added eight assists during the run which started on Oct. 12. The six-foot-two, 195-pound, 20-year-old former Calgary Flames prospect has put up 26 points (10-16) in 22 games this season.

WHO’S NOT Prince Albert Raiders C Matteo Gennaro garnered five goals and a respectable 15 Matteo points as a WHL Gennaro rookie in 2013-14, but has just four points (2-2) and a minus-7 rating in 19 outings this season. This is Gennaro’s NHL draft season and while the sixfoot-two, 184-pound product of St. Albert is a definite draft prospect, he might be hurting his cause with his lack of offensive production to date.

WHO’S A HELPER Kelowna Rockets C Nick Merkley has recorded a league-best 29 assists in Nick 20 games this Merkley season. The 17-year-old Calgary native is also out in front of the WHL scoring race with 36 points.

Better on the blue line CENTRAL ALBERTAN COLTON BOBYK IS SHOWING THE SWITCH TO DEFENCE WAS A MOVE THAT HAS PAID OFF IN SPADES BY CHRIS DERRICK SPOKANE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW Colton Bobyk thought he might be a forward for life until a midget league coach asked him to step in and play defence during a power play. Bobyk never returned to forward. “The coach thought I did a good job back there and he kept me there,” Bobyk said. “Ever since, I’ve been on defence. It was awesome at forward to score goals, but I might make it further on defence.” The Spokane Chiefs certainly think so. The 18-year-old Bobyk, in his second full season with the Western Hockey League club, plays on the top defensive line with captain Jason Fram. Bobyk and Fram are especially valuable on the power play, a big concern for the Chiefs as they rank among the bottom third among league teams with a success rate of 17.2 percent. The Chiefs have operated most of the season without Bobyk, who injured his knee during the team’s first practice after training camp. Bobyk missed Spokane’s preseason games and the first nine games of the regular season. “Now it’s healed up,” Bobyk said. “I’d rather have (the injury) at the start of the year than the middle of the year.” Outside of a burst appendix suffered during his midget hockey days, Bobyk hasn’t missed a lot of playing time because of injuries. “It was tough at the start of the year, not to play with those guys,” Bobyk said. “But now that I’ve come back, it’s been awesome. They were ready to go and I had to jump up and get up to game speed because they’d already been playing.” Bobyk had an assist in his first game back, a 5-4 victory at U.S. Division-leading Everett. That game marked a season high for goals in a game by

Rimbey’s Colton Bobyk has been a beast on the back-end for the Spokane Chiefs this season which can be credited to a decision made during his time with the Red Deer Midget AAA Optimist Chiefs. the Chiefs until Saturday, when Bobyk had his first goal of the season in a 6-4 win, again over Everett. Spokane’s defence and goaltending, especially the net work of 19-year-old Garret Hughson, have been stingy, allowing 3.0 goals per game. But Bobyk knows the offence (2.9 goals per game) must improve for the Chiefs to stay competitive. “We outshoot teams, but we just need to finish our chances,” Bobyk said. … “Just give it not too many more games and

we’ll figure it out and score a lot more goals. It’s going to be tough for teams to beat us when we have Hughson letting in just one or two goals (per game).” Bobyk, of Rimbey, near Red Deer, grew up on a farm and built an ice rink in his family’s back yard to practise as a kid. When not focused on hockey, Bobyk loves to golf, as does his entire family — father Len, mother Melanee and 20-yearold sister Caitlyn. Bobyk made his first big splash during the 2010-11 sea-

son, totaling six goals and 15 assists in 33 games for the Red Deer Rebels White Bantam AAA team. The Chiefs selected Bobyk in the 10th round of the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. He made his Chiefs debut with two games during the 2012-13 season, and had five goals and seven assists in 56 games last year. Bobyk was also a star with the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs during the 2012-13 seasons, scoring eight goals and adding 24 assists from the back end.

time and a single point in two of three setbacks. “You’re never satisfied, but the progression we’ve shown in recent weeks has been intriguing,” said Bleackley. “We’ve got points in eight of our last nine games and the way we’re playing now is kind of similar to what we expected this year. “But it’s only the beginning for us. We’re only two points out of second in our division so hopefully we can keep this going and get higher up in the standings.” The Rebels entertain the Lethbridge Hurricanes tonight and then go up against the visiting Saskatoon Blades Saturday. Both teams are lingering near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but both could present problems for a club that takes them too lightly. Bleackley won’t be in that frame of mind. “Saskatoon has already beat us once this season (3-2 Oct. 17 at Saskatoon) so we owe them one in our barn, and for as long as I’ve been in this league Lethbridge has been a battle every single time we’ve played them,” he noted. ● Bleackley weighed in on the Connor McDavid issue — namely the broken hand the 17-year-old phenom suffered in an OHL fight Tuesday — with a comical tweet Wednesday. “I fought two times last week and nobody said anything,” Bleackley tweeted, in reference to the nation-wide debates that have followed the McDavid scrap and the criticism aimed at the Erie Otters star for even considering dropping the

gloves. Bleackley’s humourous offering picked up major steam and was soon trending on Twitter. “It was a funny tweet I thought, although I wasn’t expecting that,” he said. “We were on our way back (to Red Deer) from the (Calgary) airport when I tweeted. It was meant to be a joke.” The Rebels on-ice leader isn’t among those blasting McDavid — favoured to go first overall in the 2015 NHL draft — for his decision to toss a punch or two in the heat of the battle. “Good for him,” said Bleackley. “Obviously it’s unfortunate that he broke his hand but fighting is part of the game. I’m no fighter but I fought two games in a row. Good for him for sticking up for himself.” ● Defenceman Hugo Jansons is back in his home country of Latvia after being placed on waivers by the Rebels and failing to find another North American suitor. Jansons cleared WHL waivers Wednesday and was awaiting word from a USHL club that had expressed some interest in the blueliner. No offer was forthcoming and Jansons will seek a position with a Latvian junior team. Meanwhile, forward Cole Chorney was apparently leaning towards joining the Whitecourt Wolverines of the AJHL after being reassigned to the junior A ranks by Sutter earlier this week. Sutter hadn’t heard Thursday if Chorney had indeed landed in Whitecourt. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Lightning, Cougars open final with wins HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Lightning 3 Raiders 1 Cougars 3 Raiders 1 Their timing couldn’t have been better. After failing to defeat their cross-town rival Lindsay Thurber Raiders during the regular season, the Hunting Hills Lightning dug down deep Thursday and pulled out a 3-1 victory in the opening match of the best-of-three Central zone senior girls high school volleyball final. The second match goes tonight at 6 p.m. at Hunting Hills. Later, the visiting Notre Dame Cougars downed the Raiders 3-1 in the opening match of the boys zone final and will host Lindsay Thurber tonight at 8 p.m. “We really wanted this. Everyone said they had a great feeling going into the match,” said Lightning third-year setter and team captain Emma Delemont, following her team’s 21-25, 26-24, 25-12, 25-18 victory at Lindsay Thurber. After losing the first set and then squeaking out a two-point win in the second game, the Lightning pretty much dominated. The visitors took early control of the third set and cruised to an easy win, then rallied from an early threepoint deficit and pulled away late in the fourth and final set. “That third set was probably the best one we’ve played this year,” said Delemont. “It was really exciting and it got

super intense.” Clearly, the first-set loss didn’t have a negative effect on the Lightning. “We’re really focusing on one point at a time instead of the overall outcome, which is good,” said Delemont, whose team was strong at the net both defensively and offensively. “We had aggressive hits and we hit to where their players weren’t, which got us the points,” said the captain. After finally busting through with their first victory over the Raiders, the Lightning will go for two in a row tonight on their home court. “It will be tough, but we’re going to fight like we did tonight,” Delemont insisted. If a third match is required, it will be played Saturday at 11 a.m. at Hunting Hills. ● The Cougars took the first two sets of the boys final 2523, 25-15, then watched as the Raiders got back into contention with a 25-19 third-set victory. “We started really strong, we sort of came out really confident,” said Notre Dame coach AJ Mahoney. “We definitely let it slide a bit in the third set but showed a lot of fight coming back in the fourth after being down so much.” Indeed, the Cougars trailed by as many as four points in the fourth set before finally pulling at 17 and winning 2520. A double block at the net created the winning point. “We had really good energy early, then we let that dip too much,” said Mahoney. “The

matches were all tight. “Terence (Raiders coach McMullen) always has an excellent group and there’s always a really good atmosphere playing in their gym,” said Mahoney. “We came out on top tonight but I expect them to come at us tomorrow in our gym.” If the Raiders prevail tonight, a third match will be

played Saturday at Notre Dame and will start at 11 a.m. if a third girls game is not required. If Hunting Hills and Lindsay Thurber girls go to a deciding match, a winner-takeall boys battle will start at 1 a.m. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Queens can’t find way to get past Griffins Griffins 3 Queens 2 (SO) The Red Deer College Queens have found a new way to lose. The Queens (1-3-0-1) outplayed the MacEwan University Griffins (3-2-0-0) through three periods, scored late to tie and then dominated the extra frame thinking they were heading home with a tie. Unbeknownst to them, however, the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference adopted the shootout for women’s hockey just before the season. Completely unprepared for the skills competition, they hung in for six rounds before the 12th shooter, MacEwan’s Anna Hackman, beat Queens goalie Moriah Andrews with a deke for the 3-2 win. “It’s unfortunate we even got to that point,” said Queens head coach Bob Rutz. “(The girls) did a great job coming back and scoring the tying goal ... but we’ve got to stop finding ways to lose hockey games.” Raven Beazer and Samantha Schulz also scored for the Griffins while Brenna McNulty made 29 saves through overtime and stopped all six shots in the shootout for the win. Ashley Graf and Jayna Kitchen scored for Red Deer while Andrews stopped 19 shots through overtime and the first five shooters of the shootout. When the rule change occurred is a little foggy, the Au-

The change does appear in the September version, but neither the refs, the RDC coaches or off-ice game officials were aware the change had been made. Even the

league standings do not have a shootout column, as other leagues like the NHL have, but there is one for ties. To top it off, ACAC men’s hockey does not include the shootout. It took Griffins coach Lindsay McAlpine pointing it out after the game had been an-

nounced as a 2-2 final for it to take place. “It certainly surprised me, I had no idea,” said Rutz. “I knew they were talking about it at the last hockey (league) meetings, but I was totally unprepared and had I known it was passed we’d be working on shootouts a lot more in practice then we had been.” The players, at least, seemed to enjoy the new wrinkle to the game. “It’s a lot of fun once you get the first shot out of the way. That first time standing out on the blue line I was pretty nervous, but once it was out of the way I wanted to go again,” said Kitchen. “It’s great for the league, we won’t have so many ties so we won’t be as close at the end.” In 2013-14 four points separated first through third place while four games ended tied. There is still much for the Queens to build off of in this loss as they outplayed the Griffins for 45 minutes. The two goals against came during two lapses of concentration. RDC opened the scoring on Graf’s goal-mouth scramble at 4:06 of the second period, but let up on the next two shifts and MacEwan evened it at 5:33. Then, after the Queens dominated play for the first half of the third frame, a turnover at their own blue line sent MacEwan in on an odd-man rush. Andrews made a terrific kick save on the first shot, but had no chance on the rebound as

David Belcher back in the ring for Rumble in Red Deer 6 RED DEER BUSINESS MAN TAKES ON FORMER OLYMPIAN BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer business man David Belcher returns to the same ring tonight that launched his boxing odyssey. Belcher fought in the first Rumble in Red Deer put on by the Red Deer and District Boxing Club six years ago in the white collar division that pits first time boxers against each other with only a few weeks of training. He got his butt whooped that night, but he was hooked. “He had never been in the ring before, he put the gloves on and said ‘I can give this a try,” said Rumble in Red Deer 6 matchmaker Colin Acheson. “He was dropped in his first fight against a big kid from Calgary named Tim Burris who used to play football for the University of Calgary Dinos. He walked into the gym the next Monday and said ‘I want to learn how to do this.’” He no longer fights white collar bouts. Since then he was won three Ringside world championship belts, including this past weekend

in Miami. Tonight at the Harvest Centre, Belcher, 48, who now fights out of the Teofista Club in Calgary will match up across from Rick Duff of the Lethbridge Boxing Club who represented Canada at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal in a Superheavy Masters fight. The masters division consists of three, one-minute rounds and the boxers wear 16-ounce gloves. “Who says old guys can’t fight, right?” said Acheson. It is just one of 10 amateur fights on the card, headlined by Ringside heavyweight champion Petru Bolun out of Calgary against Alberta provincial champion Ben Alvarez out of Edmonton. Alvarez has about a 20-pound weight advantage on Bolun who is moving up a division to take the fight, but Acheson says it should be an exciting fight. “It’s a match made in heaven for a matchmaker,” said Acheson. “Bolun is extremely strong, he’s a powerful, powerful puncher and he has some MMA experience, a very effective boxer. Ben Alvarez is a pure boxer, beautiful boxer, he moves well. It’s a clash of styles which is what makes a fight.”

Also on the card is Red Deer’s Cudillo twins. Lester Cudillo will be fighting Morwat Sirkhan out of Calgary in a 120-pound youth bout while Lowie Cudillo will be fighting Blake McPhee out of Fort McMurray at the 136-pound youth open level. Red Deer’s Brian Samuel will also take on James Jung out of the South Side Boxing Club at the 152-pound division. There are two white collar fights set, Dave Polutnik of Red Deer takes on Ryan Broadhead of Calgary at the superheavy novice level and Brett Salomans of Red Deer fights Shaiq Muhammed of Calgary at the heavyweight senior level. Rumble in Red Deer is traditionally a boxing gala dinner show, but for the first time there will be tickets available at the door for any last minute boxing fans. Dinner goes at 6 p.m. with the fights starting at 7 p.m. The doors open for walk up tickets at 6:30 p.m. This year the Rumble in Red Deer is supporting the Alberta SPCA through a silent auction, a 50-50 draw and other initiatives. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Schulz roofed it. RDC did not slink away and took control again, finally getting the equalizer at 18:41 as Kitchen beat McNulty on a rebound. “Bob can only pick five, sometimes six players to get out on the ice in those minutes, that’s why we go to the gym five days a week and practise five days a week, those are the moments you live for,” said Kitchen. “To get to be out there, you want to do it for your team because you know they want to be out there as much as you do.” Rutz was impressed with what he saw from his team and senses the tide finally shifting in their favour, if they can only get a break somewhere along the line. In five games this season they have outshot their competition four times, it’s just a matter of capitalizing on their chances. “I honestly, truly believe that our best hockey is ahead of us,” he said. “It’s a tough time right now because we are outshooting teams, we are out working teams, we are out chancing teams, we just aren’t getting the results. So I’m hoping this entire process of whatever you want to call it — bad luck, adversity — I’m hoping one day it’s just going to turn around for us.” The two teams play again on Saturday in Edmonton at 8:15 p.m. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate. com

CFL names awards finalists RAY AND ELIMIMIAN UP FOR OUTSTANDING PLAYER AWARD, CORNISH UP FOR TOP CANADIAN BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A record-breaking season has earned Solomon Elimimian a rare nomination. The B.C. Lions linebacker was named the West Division finalist for the CFL’s outstanding player award Thursday after registering a leaguerecord 143 tackles. The six-foot, 227-pound Elimimian became the first pure defensive player in over 20 years named a conference nominee for the league’s top individual honour. “It’s a great honour and I’d be remiss if I didn’t appreciate my teammates and thank them for all they’ve done and how they’ve motivated me to be the best player I could be,” Elimimian said in a telephone interview. “In 2010 I came to Canada fourth on the depth chart. I didn’t start, got hurt then I finally made it on the roster. “After winning the Grey Cup in ’11, I went to the U.S. (signed with NFL’s Minnesota Vikings) but it didn’t work out. In 2012 I was injured a lot but bounced back in 2013 so when I think about all the adversity I’ve been through it makes it even sweeter.” Several two-way performers have won the outstanding player award — in 1992 Ottawa linebacker Angelo Snipes was a runner-up to Calgary quarterback Doug Flutie for the honour. Toronto Argonauts quarterback Ricky Ray was named the East Division’s outstanding player for a second straight year in voting by the Football Reporters of Canada and nine CFL head coaches. Despite injuries to veteran receivers as Chad Owens, Andre Durie and Jason Barnes, and promising rookie Anthony Coombs, Ray led the CFL in passing yards (4,595), TDs (28), completion percentage (68.5 per cent) and completions (425). But Toronto missing the CFL playoffs has put a huge damper on Ray’s season. “I’d much rather be known for being a winner and being in the playoffs than putting up good stats,” Ray said during a conference call. “The reason we play this game is to be able to accomplish some things as a team and obviously win the Grey Cup. “There’s no other feeling like that.” Ray was among three Toronto nominees. The others were kicker-punter Swayze Waters (special-teams) and defensive lineman Tristan Okpalaugo (rookie). Elimimian, the CFL’s top rookie in

2010, was also a finalist for the outstanding defensive player award along with Montreal Alouettes linebacker Bear Woods. Woods, 27, finished second to Elimimian in tackles with 89 despite missing Montreal’s first six games. The former Troy University star added seven sacks and an interception anchoring an Alouettes defence that recorded a CFL-best 47 turnovers. The 2014 season wasn’t Ray’s best as he’s thrown for over 5,000 yards three times over his 12-year career. But it was a down year offensively in the CFL with no 5,000-yard passer, just one 1,000-yard rusher and only three receivers cracking the 1,000-yard plateau. Proven performers like quarterbacks Travis Lulay of B.C. and Darian Durant of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Owens and running backs Andrew Harris of the Lions and Calgary’s Jon Cornish — last year’s outstanding player — were all hampered by injuries. At the same time, many defensive players, including Elimimian, Woods, John Chick of Saskatchewan (leaguehigh 15 sacks), Eric Norwood of Hamilton, Calgary’s Shawn Lemon, Ricky Foley of the Riders and Edmonton’s Odell Willis of Edmonton (all with 13 sacks) were huge contributors with their respective teams. “You look across the board and there’s a lot of defensive players who’ve had great seasons,” Elimimian said. “Quarterback, receivers, those are glorified positions and when you play defence you understand that. “I think people understand how important defence is to winning . . . but everyone loves a good offensive show.” While Cornish, 30 appeared in just nine games he still won a third straight CFL rushing title with 1,082 yards. That earned the New Westminster, B.C., native the West Division nomination as top Canadian, an honour he has won the last two years. Only Tony Gabriel (76-’78) has captured it three consecutive seasons. Laurent, a six-foot-three, 303-pound Montreal native, claimed the East Division nomination as top Canadian. The 26-year-old had a career-high nine sacks and 24 tackles in his first season with Hamilton, which finished atop the conference standings. The other finalists include Calgary centre Brett Jones and Montreal tackle Jeff Perrett (top lineman), kicker Lirim Hajrullahu of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (special-teams) and Edmonton Eskimos linebacker Dexter McCoil

Elimimian and Toronto Argonauts quarterback Ricky Ray are the finalists for the CFL’s outstanding player award. (rookie). Perrett’s nomination came after he wasn’t voted to the East Division all-star squad Wednesday. The winners will be announced Nov. 27 in Vancouver. Jones, 23, is in line for a second individual honour after being named the CFL’s top rookie last year. The six-foottwo, 318-pound Jones was the only Calgary offensive lineman to start all 18 regular-season games and helped the Stampeders (league-best 15-3 record) establish the CFL’s top rushing attack (143.9 yards per game). The six-foot-seven, 320-pound Perrett started all 18 regular-season games as Montreal allowed just 31 sacks — second-fewest in the CFL — while attempting 558 passes. Perrett, a native of Lethbridge, Alta., is in his eighth campaign with the Alouettes. Waters was a dual threat, leading the CFL in scoring (184 points) and punting 47.7 yards. He made 47-of53 field goals (90.4 per cent) and his 53-yard boot was the league’s longest this year. But Waters played the season with a heavy heart as during training camp his best friend Tait Hendrix, 27, died in a motorcycle crash. That prompted Waters to change his jersey from No. 30 to No. 34, the number Hendrix wore

during his high school career. “The season got off to a rough start for me, training camp was kind of a blur,” Waters said. “But once the season got going I started off strong both punting and kicking. “I’d much rather still be in the playoffs but for me personally to look back and see I put a complete season together, stayed healthy and performed pretty well the best I could is very rewarding.” Hajrullahu, who joined Winnipeg as a free agent out of the University of Western Ontario, converted 40-of-46 field goals (87 per cent), with his longest being from 51 yards out. He made 11-of-14 attempts from 40 yards and beyond and began his career making 22 of his first 24 attempted field goals. McCoil recorded six interceptions to finish tied with Calgary’s Jamar Wall for the league lead while scoring a CFL-high three defensive TDs. McCoil, who played collegiately at Tulsa, also had 67 tackles, 10 special-teams tackles, four sacks and seven pass knockdowns. Okpalaugo appeared in 17 games with Toronto, his 12 sacks accounting for more than a quarter of the Argos’ total (42). He also had 38 tackles, two interceptions and a fumble recovery.

Riders quarterback Durant Manitoba and Calgary square off in CIS regional finals won’t be ready to start CFL West semi against Eskimos BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

REGINA _ For the first time since the 2008 season, Darian Durant will not lead the Saskatchewan Roughriders into the CFL playoffs. Kerry Joseph will get the start at quarterback Sunday when the Saskatchewan Roughriders visit the Edmonton Eskimos in the West Division semifinal. Head coach Corey Chamblin said Thursday Durant’s surgically repaired right elbow isn’t quite back to full strength, which is why he decided on Joseph as his starter. “(Durant) is a step away from being the starter, definitely,’’ Chamblin said. “Whether he’s two or three (on the depth chart), that hasn’t been determined. “I still think he’s about a week away from him being back to 100 per cent old Darian.’’ Durant missed eight regular-season games after having surgery on a torn tendon in his right elbow in early September. The Riders went 2-6 in Durant’s absence after starting the year by posting an 8-2 record through the first 10 games of the season. Joseph had started the previous three regular season contests for the Riders, two of which were against the Eskimos. Joseph’s most recent start was a week ago at home against Edmonton, a game the Riders won 24-17. It was the lone victory for Saskatchewan in Joseph’s three starts. The 41-year-old Joseph ended his retirement in mid-October and signed with the Riders. He last played for Saskatchewan in ‘07 when he piloted the team to a Grey Cup championship. Chamblin said that veteran experience goes a long way at this time of the year. “He has the experience as far as championships and things like that,’’ Chamblin said. “We knew that we

One team had a near-perfect season, the other played .500 football, but the outcome of Saturday’s Hardy Cup game is far from an easy call as the Canada West-leading Calgary Dinos face the University of Manitoba Bisons. It’s one of three CIS regional championships Saturday. In the others, the Montreal Carabins face Laval Rouge et Or for the RSEQ Dunsmore Cup and the Guelph Gryphons and McMaster Marauders square off for the OUA Yates Cup. In Atlantic Canada, the Mount Allison Mounties have already claimed the AUS Loney Bowl. The Bisons, at 4-4 this season, would seem long odds against the Dinos, who finished at 6-2 but were really 7-1 on the field. They had to forfeit their first game, a 71-3 rout of Alberta, due to ineligible players. But that one loss Calgary suffered was their last game of the season at the hands of the Bisons (who won 50-31 at home to split their two-game series) and Manitoba head coach Brian Dobie said they don’t feel like underdogs. “It’s always nice to be able to play the underdog card and us against the world and the little engine that could,” he said. “Not now.” Even in their first game in September, Manitoba was tough to handle as the Dinos squeaked by 42-41 at McMahon Stadium. Dobie said Calgary is still the team to beat in the West but the Bisons are

could possibly count on him if it got to this.’’ Durant was the third-string quarterback for the Riders in the ‘07 season. Joseph was traded to the Toronto Argonauts the following year and Durant eventually became the full-time starter under centre. Joseph and Durant are close friends and the two regularly share ideas and strategy at practice and in the film room. Joseph said he loves having that veteran presence beside him. “It’s good. I didn’t play a lot of football this year so sitting in the meeting rooms, when we get a look on film for instance, (Wednesday) morning Darian was telling me, ‘Think about this here. There’s something that you can do within this offence.’ That’s just a little reminder that I didn’t get during training camp or in Week 3 or Week 4 that he gives me. “It’s very good to have a guy who has been in that battle and been in a war that you can communicate with.’’ The players said the offence doesn’t miss a beat with Joseph starting. They’re confident they can successfully defend their Grey Cup title with Joseph as the starter. “It really doesn’t (change),’’ all-star receiver Rob Bagg said when asked what changes are made to the offence when it comes to deciding on the starting quarterback. “We as an offence will follow whoever is under centre until the very end of the game. We have a tremendous amount of respect and, obviously, trust in both of those guys.’’ Durant is expected to dress for the game, but Chamblin wasn’t keen on using him in special situations. “We won’t do packages or things like that,’’ he said. “Hopefully Kerry is able to finish the game. He’ll start the game, he’ll finish the game. That’s the way we would like to do it unless we have a healthy lead.’’

going in with a little confidence. “Absolutely respecting Calgary but knowing that we’re a real good football team too,” he said. Dinos coach Blake Nill isn’t taking anything for granted either and said he knew the Bisons were good when polled before the season. “The Bisons were my choice as the team to . . . finish atop Canada West,” he said. What kept that from happening was an abysmal record on the road. The Bisons couldn’t lose at home and couldn’t win, not even once, any place else during the regular season. “I won’t even call it a road jinx, I don’t know what I’d call it,” said Dobie, who snapped the unnameable skid with a 47-39 come-from-behind win over the Huskies in Saskatoon to get to this final. He has to hope the magic lingers when they visit Calgary on Saturday. Both coaches have had to cope with a lot of injuries, but that too is nothing new. “We’re stretched, I think most teams are at this point of the year,” said Nill, who has helped turn the Dinos into a dynasty in Canada West with six straight Hardy wins, including last year’s 43-28 victory over the Bisons. “More than anything I believe it’s the culture of the program,” he said of the reason for their success. “We approach the running of the program with a certain philosophical point of view, we recruit with that point of view and the kids come into the program with that in front of them.”

Bulls upend Raptors to take lead in East BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Bulls 100 Raptors 93 TORONTO — Jonas Valanciunas called it “a cold shower” — a harsh early-season lesson that brought the Toronto Raptors back down to earth Thursday night. The Raptors dropped a 100-93 decision to the Chicago Bulls in a battle for first place in the Eastern Conference. It was Toronto’s first loss in six games, and first loss at home in what’s been a feel-good early-season story. “It’s a good experience, coming off the win streak. That’s good,” Valanciunas said. “Make us regroup and be strong in the next game.” Kyle Lowry scored 20 points to lead the Raptors (7-2), who coughed up the game with a dreadful third quarter. James Johnson was big off the bench, with 16 points, five rebounds, four steals and four blocks. “The third quarter did us in,” said Raptors coach Dwane Casey. “They got us on our heels and we stayed on our heels. “You know that’s the kind of game you’re going to have against them.

Pau Gasol scored 27 to lead the Bulls (7-2), while Jimmy Butler finished with 21, and Derrick Rose scored 20 before leaving the game with 1:53 left with a left hamstring injury. “I guess it was cramps in my hamstrings,” said Rose, who’d missed most of the previous two seasons with knee injuries. “I think it is minor and they decided to pull me out.” The Raptors led by nine points late in the second quar-

When Joakim Noah fed a wide-open Taj Gibson for a dunk early in the fourth, it put the Bulls up by 16, eliciting groans from the sellout Air Canada Centre crowd of 19,800 that included actor Donald Sutherland and Toronto Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel. A running layup by Rose put the Bulls up by 18 with 5:03 to play. Lowry — whose collision with a fan seated courtside left him wiping off remnants of an ice cream sand-

Fighting in hockey just a real pain On Wednesday the biggest fight in hockey was over a 17-year-old kid, and it wasn’t limited to the Air Canada Centre. Supernova prospect Connor McDavid got hurt throwing punches in a game in Erie, Pa., on Tuesday, and the whole fighting-in-hockey dance number got fired up again. We all know the steps by heart. Meanwhile, as the Bruins and Leafs took the ice, BRUCE the ghosts of departed fightARTHUR ers were barely a whisper on the wind. Gone were recent Bruins or Leafs like Shawn Thornton, Colton Orr, Frazer McLaren, Mark Fraser. Zdeno Chara, who nobody really likes to fight anyway, was hurt. McDavid, who will miss five to six weeks with a broken bone in his hand, and his fight were the real ghosts at the feast. “Did he have to?” asked Bruins defenceman Dennis Seidenberg, almost gently. “I mean, that’s the question. I mean, it’s everybody’s choice to fight or not. I’m sure he could have gotten out of it if he wanted to, but sometimes the ego takes over, and you just don’t think about getting hurt. I mean, I’m not a fighter, but once in a blue moon it happens. And you just don’t think about getting hurt.” “You don’t like to see it, but there’s that compete level, especially in every young star, that enough’s enough and you’re sick and tired of getting abused,” said Toronto’s Nazem Kadri, who was a young OHL star once. Fights in the OHL are down sharply, due to increased penalties; it’s the right move in a country in which teenagers bare-knuckle brawling has been an accepted part of our entertainment for a long time. We don’t pack high school gyms and cheer on 16-year-old boxers, but for hockey, we stand. Some in the OHL are sure fighting will vanish there within five years, unless the owners put up a hell of a fight themselves. At the NHL level, meanwhile, you could see that fighting is receding at the edges. The Leafs have two fights on the season, second-fewest in the NHL. The Bruins have five. Both teams have shed enforcers in the past year. It’s hard to say they’re really missed. “It’s a nice presence to have around, and I’m always in for those type of players, but I haven’t noticed much of a difference (in how other teams play Toronto without enforcers), just because the rules have been tightened up so much, and the referees are taught to look for certain things,” said Kadri. “No, it’s just clean hockey,” said second-year defenceman Morgan Rielly. “You’re trying to win the game, you’re not trying to have a brawl. Our team is playing with a lot of speed, and that’s what we’re not worried about right now, we’re not worried about getting in scraps. If it happens, we have players in this room that can fight, but I think teams are playing us just the way they did last year. They haven’t changed anything. “I’ve heard that before and I do understand why people might think that — if you don’t have Colton Orr on your team, there are some guys who might take some liberties. But that hasn’t really happened this year.” OHL scoring leader Connor McDavid broke his right hand in a fight Tuesday night in Erie, and the fallout sparked more debate about the place of fighting in the game of hockey.

wich — drained a long jumper with 3:05 to go to make it a 10-point game. With the fans on their feet, Ross connected on a three to pull Toronto within seven, then a James Johnson block led to an Amir Johnson dunk, and the deficit was five points. But Mike Dunleavy’s two free throws with a minute left put the Bulls back up by seven, then it was a matter of the clock running out on Toronto. “You find out you really aren’t as good. . .,” James Johnson said. “But none of us have big heads in here, all of us strive to get better every game regardless of whether we win

or lose, we look at film regardless of whether we win or lose, and learn from the mistakes.” The game marked the first time the Raptors hosted a nationally-televised game on TNT since the Raptors hosted Orlando — Vince Carter vs. Tracy McGrady — in 2002. And the Air Canada Centre dressed up for the occasion, unfurling the giant “We the North” banner for the first time since the playoffs. The noise was reminiscent of last season’s playoff games, but all the ACC’s cheering couldn’t lift Toronto to a victory. Lowry said the game was a

good gauge of where the Raptors are at — and where they need to get to. “Just know that’s what we’ve got to get up to, that physicality, that type of defensive intensity, that type of offence that they could go to a couple of different guys who could take over games at different points,” Lowry said. Toronto’s all-star DeMar DeRozan struggled through another uncharacteristically low-scoring night, making just three of 17 shots for 10 points. “It’s fine, I’m not worried about it at all,” DeRozan said. “These games, they’re going to happen, especially now. I’ve just got to learn from it, not get down on it, get frustrated. Two years ago, I’d think it was the end of the world, but we’re only eight games in. I’d rather have these games now than later on.” It was a strong game for Rose, whose two sprained ankles had kept him out of half of Chicago’s games, to this point. Rose played in just 49 games total in the last two seasons, due to knee injuries. “We have a good team, we had the game up by 10 by then so why force it,” Rose said, on the decision to leave the game. “I overstepped, just stretched out a little bit more with my left leg. It just comes with the process I guess of missing two years.” The two teams were evenly matched through a first quarter that saw eight lead changes, and neither team lead by more than three points. The Bulls took a 25-24 lead into the second. James Johnson scored 12 points in a second quarter that saw the Raptors’ second unit contributing 18 of Toronto’s 22 points. Greivis Vasquez fed Johnson for a dunk that put the Raptors up by eight midway through the frame, then Patrick Patterson drained a three with 38 seconds to go, and Toronto headed to the dressing room up 52-45 at halftime.

Dolphins get back in win column with late rally against Bills BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Dolphins 22 Bills 9 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — When Miami Dolphins rookie receiver Jarvis Landry dived into the end zone for a fourth-quarter touchdown, he was just getting started. A replay review upheld the score, and Landry then sprinted up and down the sideline in a celebration of redemption. Landry bounced back from a potentially disastrous fumble, and the Dolphins ended a streak of three consecutive losses to Buffalo, overcoming a third-quarter deficit to win 22-9. “It was great to swing the tide,” Landry said. “It was good not to be the little brother.” Ryan Tannehill shook off five sacks to throw late touchdown passes of 7 yards to Brandon Gibson and 8 yards to Landry. Tannehill went 26 for 34 for 240 yards, and Lamar Miller rushed for 86 yards. Miami trailed 9-3 before outscoring their AFC East rivals 19-0 over the final 18 minutes. The Dolphins improved to 6-4, their best record after 10 games since 2008. “To stay over the .500 mark, to win in the division and to beat the Bills, it’s a good night,” defensive tackle Jared Odrick said. “You have to start playing good football this time of the year,” coach Joe Philbin said. The Bills, trying to end a 14-year playoff drought, fell to 5-5 with their second loss in a row. Stymied by Buffalo’s front four in recent meetings, the Dolphins had scored one touchdown in 33 possessions against the Bills before late TD drives of 80 and 63 yards. That was quite a rally by a team that hadn’t won a close game all season. Otherwise stout defence did the heavy lifting for Miami, which scored a safety on a penalty. Quar-

He didn’t say whether his injury was serious. The Bills, ranked last in the NFL in red-zone touchdown efficiency, mounted grinding drives of 67 and 85 yards on their first two possessions. But Miami held them to a field goal each time, and those were their best TD chances. The Bills have reached the end zone once in their past nine redzone trips. “In the first half we had two drives we didn’t finish,” coach Doug Marrone said. “In the second half we just didn’t play well.” With the Dolphins leading 12-9, Landry lost a fumble on a kick return, but their defence again dug

The Dolphins, also ranked poorly in red-zone efficiency, missed chances early themselves. They came away with three points from trips inside the 20 on their first two possessions, and didn’t reach the end zone until 42 minutes into the game. Miami led 10-9 before scoring a safety when Kyle Orton was flagged for intentional grounding from the end zone. Under pressure from Olivier Vernon, Orton threw a pass that landed closer to the Bills sideline than to any player. “I think it was the turning point in the game, and momentum really took over,” Odrick said. “The spirit of the Dolphins was within us.”

Kershaw captures NL MVP, Trout wins AL KERSHAW BECOMES FIRST NL PITCHER SINCE 1968 TO WIN MOST VALUABLE PLAYER BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK â€” Clayton Kershaw became the first pitcher to win the National League MVP award in nearly a half-century, coasting an easy victory Thursday. Mike Trout was a unanimous pick for the AL honour after finishing second the previous two years. The 23-year-old became the fifth-youngest MVP in major league history and the youngest unanimous selection. Kershaw, the Los Angeles Dodgers ace, breezed past Miami slugger Giancarlo Stanton and Pittsburgh outfielder Andrew McCutchen for the NL award. Bob Gibson in 1968 was the previous pitcher to be the NL MVP. Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander won the AL MVP in 2011. â€œTo have people think you mean that much to your team, it really is a huge honour,â€? Kershaw said on the MLB Network telecast. There was plenty of everyday player-vs.-pitcher MVP debate leading up to this announcement. Soon after Kershaw unanimously won the NL Cy Young Award on Wednesday, he acknowledged â€œthere are so many people out there who donâ€™t think a pitcher should win.â€? This time, the 26-year-old leftyâ€™s numbers again dominated hitters â€” Kershaw led the majors in wins and ERA while going 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA and throwing a no-hitter for the NL West champions. Kershaw got 18 of 30 first-place votes and 355 points in balloting by members of the Baseball Writersâ€™ Association of America. Stanton got eight first-place ballots and 298 points. He led the NL with 37 homers and was second with 105 RBIs, and missed the last 17 games for the fourth-place Marlins after being hit in the face by a fastball. McCutchen got four firsts and 271

Already this yearâ€™s Cy Young Award winner, Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw became the first NL player to sweep the Most Valuable Player honor and the pitching prize in the same season since Bob Gibson in 1968. Mike Trout was a unanimous pick for the AL MVP. points in his bid to win the award for the second straight year. He hit .314 with 25 home runs and 83 RBIs for the wild-card Pirates. Six AL pitchers have won the MVP since Gibson took it for the St. Louis Cardinals. Before Gibson, seven pitchers had won the NL MVP, a list that includes Hall of Famers Sandy Koufax, Carl Hubbell and Dizzy Dean. The AL MVP has been won 12 times by pitchers, starting when it was first presented in 1931 to Lefty Grove. Kershaw won the major league season opener in Australia on March 22, then missed more than a month when

a strained upper back put him on the disabled list for the first time in his career. Kershaw came back to win his second straight NL Cy Young and third in four years. Featuring sharp breaking balls, Kershaw was the first pitcher to top the majors in ERA for four straight years. Kershaw led the big leagues in complete games and was best among starters in strikeouts per nine innings and WHIP (walks plus hits per inning). The four-time All-Star struck out 239 in 198 1-3 innings. On June 18, he threw the first no-hitter of his career,

at Dodger Stadium against Colorado. Dodgers players have won 11 MVPs, led by Roy Campanella in 1951, â€™53 and â€™56. Also winning were Dolph Camilli (1941), Jackie Robinson (1949), Don Newcombe (1956), Maury Wills (1962), Koufax (1963), Steve Garvey (1974) and Kirk Gibson (1988). Trout received all 30 first-place votes and 420 points. Detroit designated hitter Victor Martinez was second with 229 points and Cleveland outfielder Michael Brantley third with 185. Trout hit .287 and set career highs in home runs (36) and RBIs (111) while leading the major leagues in runs with 115 and extra-base hits with 84. In his third full season, the Los Angeles Angels centre fielder matched his bests in doubles (39) and triple (nine). He also was MVP of the All-Star game in July. â€œItâ€™s something special, for sure,â€? Trout said. â€œIf you would have told me this before the season started, I would have just laughed at you. Itâ€™s just an unbelievable feeling.â€? Trout was a unanimous pick as the 2012 AL Rookie of the Year and was second in MVP voting to Detroitâ€™s Miguel Cabrera in both of his first two full seasons, 81 points back in 2012 and 103 points behind last year. He joined Mickey Mantle as the only players to win after finishing second twice in a row. At 23 years, 52 days on the final day of the regular season, Trout is younger than all MVPs except Vida Blue (1971), Johnny Bench (1970), Stan Musial (1943) and Cal Ripken Jr. (1983), according to STATS. Musial, Bench and Blue were 22, and Ripken was 23 years, 39 days. He is the third Angels player to win after Don Baylor (1979) and Vladimir Guerrero (2004). Kershaw and Trout won the last of baseballâ€™s major post-season awards. Just in time, too. Pitchers and catchers are due at spring training in only 98 days.

Christina Kimâ€™s two Six tied for lead at PGA Tourâ€™s OHL Classic eagles helps her take early lead Lorena Ochoa Invitational BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEXICO CITY â€” Christina Kim had two eagles in a 7-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead Thursday in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational. Kim eagled the par-5 second and 17th holes at Club de Golf Mexico, the first-year venue after six seasons in host Lorena Ochoaâ€™s hometown of Guadalajara. â€œThe course is really classic and classy. It reminds me of Lorena,â€? Kim said. The 30-year-old American chipped in on the second hole. â€œIt was a good start to my round,â€? Kim said. â€œI had a good up-and-down on the first as well for par, so got myself on a good roll.â€? On the 17th, she holed a 20-foot putt from the fringe. â€œJust got a really good roll on the ball,â€? Kim said. â€œAnd for the first time in probably five months, Iâ€™ve gotten excited. So I was like, â€?Come on, come on!â€œ And it fell on the last rotation, so I was pretty pleased with that.â€? Kim also birdied Nos. 4, 7 and 16 in her bogey-free round. She won the last of her two LPGA Tour titles in 2005. Spainâ€™s Azahara Munoz was second. She eagled No. 17 to tie for the lead and dropped back with a bogey on the par-4 18th. â€œPeople treat me like Iâ€™m from Mexico, so thatâ€™s really nice,â€? Munoz said. â€œAfter every hole, they sing â€™Ole, Ole, Ole.â€™ Little things like that. They make me feel good. â€œI played so well today. I made a lot of good putts. I actually should have made a lot more, so that was nice.â€? Third-ranked Lydia Ko birdied the final two holes for a 68. The 17-year-old New Zealander has two victories this year. Lizette Salas, Gerina Piller and Pornanong Phatlum shot 69. Top-ranked Inbee Park and Lexi Thompson, the winner last year at Guadalajara Country Club, were in the group at 70.

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico â€” Daniel Berger had five birdies in a seven-hole stretch Thursday for a share of the lead in the OHL Classic. Making his sixth PGA Tour start, Berger birdied Nos. 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 and finished with two pars to match Will MacKenzie, Robert Garrigus, Steve Wheatcroft, Hudson Swafford and Tony Finau at 6-under 65 on Mayakobaâ€™s El Camaleon course. â€œThis is what we work so hard for, so itâ€™s great to get off to a good start, but got to keep it going,â€? said Berger, the 21-year-old Florida

State player who earned a PGA Tour card last season on the Web. com Tour. The six-player tie is the largest after 18 holes since six players also topped the leaderboard in the 2013 St. Jude Classic. The Greg Norman-designed course requires accuracy off the tee. â€œI think I hit maybe two drivers all day,â€? Berger said. â€œItâ€™s just kind of one of those courses where youâ€™ve got to hit the fairway. Super tight off the tee, so just put it in play and youâ€™ve got some birdie opportunities.â€? Fifty-year-old Davis Love III was at 66 in a group that included Aaron Baddeley, Charley Hoffman

and Pat Perez. â€œI made some putts when I had to,â€? Love said. â€œI had four birdies in five holes in a little spurt in the middle of the round, and put the ball in play. I think thatâ€™s what you have to do here. You have to keep it in the fairway and you have to putt well.â€? Defending champion Harris English closed with a three-putt bogey for a 67. Canadaâ€™s Nick Taylor, the Sanderson Farms Championship winner Sunday in Mississippi, had a 71. â€œIt hurt on the last hole, threeputting, but Iâ€™m still going to take a lot of positives out of today,â€? English said.

LONDON â€” Canadian Milos Raonic withdrew from his final group match at the ATP Finals on Thursday after suffering a leg muscle tear in a loss earlier this week to Andy Murray. The seventh-seeded Raonic was scheduled to play U.S. Open finalist Kei Nishikori of Japan, but was replaced in the Group B pool by Spanish substitute David Ferrer. Raonic, who was 0-2 at the year-end event, said he suffered the injury late in the first set of Tuesdayâ€™s 6-3, 7-6 loss to Murray. â€œAt first it felt like cramping but when I got up from a changeover and had to stand, I knew it was something else,â€? he said. The 23-year-old Canadian said the low-grade tear in his quadriceps muscle measures three by five centimetres and is about a centimetre deep. â€œObviously I feel pessimistic right now,â€? Raonic said, adding doctors told him playing might risk more damage and cost him up to six weeks of recovery time. â€œI had a great time here. It was very different from last year as an alternate. Fortunately I was able to play well in my last event (Paris) to qualify here and give myself opportunities. I wish I could have competed, but it is what it is.â€? Also Thursday, Torontoâ€™s Daniel Nestor and Serbian partner Nenad Zimonjic signed off on their doubles partnership with a 6-7 (5), 6-3, 11-9 win over Spaniards Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez. Nestor and Zimonjic improved to 1-2 but did not qualify for a spot in the weekend semifinals.

B8 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Nov. 14, 2014

International experience paved Blake’s path to Hall ONE OF EIGHT CANADIAN PLAYERS TO BE PART OF ‘TRIPLE GOLD CLUB’ TORONTO — Rob Blake never liked to say no when Hockey Canada called. Two Olympics and one World Cup of Hockey were no-brainers, but for the defenceman from Simcoe, Ont., so were the world championships. Blake was happy to go as a 20-yearold in 1991, even when he might have been flying to Helsinki for just one game. Eight years later he told general manager Bryan Murray he wouldn’t play before having a change of heart. “(I) called back the next day and said I’d go,” Blake said. “I had said no because I had gone enough and it was a long season and that, but then I woke up the next morning and I’m like: ’What else am I going to do? In two or three days I’m going to be wanting to go anyway.’ That was the only time I ever had any hesitation whatsoever.” Blake made a Hall of Fame career out of 777 points in 1,270 regular-season NHL games and then 73 points in 146 in the playoffs. But he was Captain Canada before Ryan Smyth earned that moniker, and his extensive international experience is a major part of why he’s being inducted Monday. One of 25 players in the world and eight Canadian players in the “Triple Gold Club” for winning Olympic and world championship gold and the Stanley Cup, Blake played in 58 games over nine tournaments. That included the 1998, 2002 and 2006 Olympics, 1996 World Cup of Hockey and 1991, 1994, 1997, 1998 and 1999 world championships. “I enjoy it,” Blake said in a phone interview last week. “That’s why I think I answered almost every call I possibly could to go and play.” Since retiring, Blake was an assistant under Dave Nonis at the 2011 worlds and then was the GM this past year. At that point it was his job to call players and ask them to keep playing hockey after a long season without a playoff berth or after a first-round loss. Blake was the poster boy for this, because he didn’t have the word “no” in his vocabulary in those situations. Coaches and GMs appreciated that. “I always felt as coach of the team, the best part of that job is when you called a Rob Blake or players of that ilk and you asked them if they would come and play for Canada and they said they would,” said Andy Murray, who coached Blake in two worlds including a gold medal in 1997. “The commitment that Rob made to play for his country and he’s also served now as a manager of a world championship, he’s always been there when Canada’s asked him.” Hockey Canada president and CEO

GARY MOE

Tom Renney said it’s important even now that a player of Blake’s calibre committed to play so many times. “I don’t think anybody’s ever doubted Rob’s integrity and ability to play the game and his commitment to playing for Canada,” Renney said in a phone interview. “It’s huge because we’re still going to tap on people’s doors and ask them to participate and when you have men like the quality of Rob Blake and others that are willing to put the jersey on and go play, that speaks volumes as to how much playing for your country means for those guys.” Current Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Johnston, who had Blake at three different world championships, knows he’s different than most Canadian players who participated. “For players that go once or twice, then they say, ’Well, I’ve gone a couple times, maybe it’s somebody else’s turn,”’ Johnston said Thursday. “But Rob Blake, every time we asked him, he came. Every single time. And a lot of guys will say, ’Well, it’s getting close to an Olympic year, maybe I’ll go.’ He would go four years away from an Olympic year. He’s an impressive guy that way.” Playing defence in an era that included Hall of Famers Ray Bourque, Scott Stevens and Scott Niedermayer and soon-to-be Hall of Famer Chris Pronger, Blake was a constant on the Canadian blue-line. He was never a candidate for world juniors because he was a self-professed late bloomer and went the college route to Bowling Green. But after his first full NHL season with the Los Angeles Kings, Blake joined Canada at the worlds for just two games and got a taste of international hockey. “That one stuck out to me just because it was such a short time — the team had been together for a few weeks and I was fortunate enough just to be able to join for a couple games,” Blake said. “In those days the honour of playing for Team Canada was so important. I didn’t even think twice of going over and playing potentially one game.” Blake was part of the 1994 team that won Canada’s first gold in the world championship in 33 years and did it again in 1997. But the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan, presented a different stage for everyone as the first with NHL players. As Canada lost in a shootout to the Czech Republic and fellow 2014 inductee Dominik Hasek, Blake knew he wasn’t getting his name called to be one of Canada’s shooters so he undid his chin strap and yelled at the other bench. Getting over the defeat wasn’t easy.

Los Angeles Kings goalie Jason LaBarbera and team captain Rob Blake celebrate after an NHL game in Edmonton January 15, 2008. Blake never liked to say no when Hockey Canada called. Two Olympics and one World Cup of Hockey were no-brainers, but for the defenceman from Simcoe, Ont., so were the world championships. “You have to sit on that for four more years and you’ve got to hear how you didn’t win and different things,” Blake said. “With Canada, especially, if they don’t win it’s not success. ... It’s a high standard to be, and when you come back from that you’ve got four years that you weren’t the best country in the world.” Gold in Salt Lake City helped Blake and Canada re-establish that, and it came less than a year after he won his first and only Stanley Cup, playing for the Colorado Avalanche. Captain Joe Sakic let Bourque have it first, and Blake was the third player to get his hands on hockey’s holy grail on that June day in 2001. Blake didn’t even know he was part of the exclusive IIHF Triple Gold Club until the Vancouver Olympics in 2010 when he was honoured at a ceremony. The only other Canadian players in it are Sakic, Niedermayer, Pronger, Brendan Shanahan, Eric Staal, Jonathan Toews and Patrice Bergeron. “Whatever team Rob Blake was on,” Murray said, “he’s always going to be a leading player and more so than anything else the best kind of leader, and that’s one that leads by example.”

Blake was the top defenceman at the 1997 worlds, where he finally got his groove back after knee surgery limited him to six games in 1995-96. “I went to the world championships and I think that kind of elevated my career from that point on,” Blake said. “We ended up having success there and winning and carried it over to the next year. For me, it was another time to go and play and a chance to win something.” He won gold again at the 1998 Olympics and was again named top defenceman. No matter the tournament, Blake felt playing internationally made him a better player. “I don’t think there’s any bad thing about it,” said Blake, who’s now an assistant GM with the Kings. “It gives you an opportunity as a player to see what other players do, how they prepare, how they play. You get different coaching, you hear different philosophies and different things.” Blake’s time with Hockey Canada isn’t over. After serving in management and two worlds already and looking like a future NHL GM, he’s in the running to pick more teams in the years to come.

Solar electric Climate change technology magnifies dead zone woes: study continues to develop AND IT’S LIKELY TO GET WORSE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Global warming is likely playing a bigger role than previously thought in dead zones in oceans, lakes and rivers around the world and it’s only going to get worse, according to a new study. Dead zones occur when fertilizer runoff clogs waterways with nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorous. That leads to an explosion of microbes that consumes oxygen and leaves the water depleted of oxygen, harming marine life. Scientists have long known that warmer water increases this problem, but a new study Monday in the journal Global Change Biology by Smithsonian Institution researchers found about two dozen different ways — biologically, chemically and physically — that climate change worsens the oxygen depletion. “We’ve underestimated the effect of climate change on dead zones,” said study lead author Andrew Altieri, a researcher at the Smithsonian’s tropical centre in Panama. The researchers looked at 476 dead zones worldwide— 264 in the United States. They found that standard computer climate models predict that, on average, the surface temperature around those dead zones will increase by about 4 degrees Fahrenheit (slightly more than 2 degrees Celsius) from the 1980s and 1990s to the end of this cen-

tury. The largest predicted warming is nearly 7 degrees (almost 4 degrees Celsius) where the St. Lawrence River dumps into the ocean in Canada. The most prominent U.S. dead zones, the Gulf of Mexico and the Chesapeake Bay, are projected to warm 4 degrees (2.3 degrees Celsius) and nearly 5 degrees (2.7 degrees Celsius) respectively. Warmer water holds less oxygen, adding to the problem from runoff, said co-author Keryn Gedan, who is at both the Smithsonian and the University of Maryland. But warmer water also affects dead zones by keeping the water more separate, so that oxygenpoor deep water mixes less. “It’s like Italian dressing that you haven’t shaken, where you have the oil and water separate,” Altieri said. When the water gets warmer, marine life’s metabolism increases, making them require more oxygen just as the oxygen levels are already dropping. Other ways that climate change affects dead zones includes longer summers, ocean acidification and changing wind and current patterns, the study said. Donald Boesch, a University of Maryland ecologist who wasn’t part of the study and works at a different department than Gedan, said there is not enough evidence to say that climate change has already played such a big role in the spread of dead zones. But he said the study is probably right in warning that future warming will make the problem even worse.

COLD LANDING

Solar electric panels or photovoltaic cells have been under development since the photovoltaic effect was first discovered by French physicist A.E. Becquerel in 1839. The first photovoltaic cell was developed in 1883 by Charles Fritt, who coated the semi conductor selenium with a thin layer of gold. It operated at about one per cent efficiency. LORNE In 1921, AlOJA bert Einstein won a Nobel Prize, for his 1905 explanation of the photovoltaic effect. The science behind solar electric panels has been around for a long time and the technology continues to develop, squeezing every possible millivolt of energy from a ray of sunshine. The first generation of solar modules are the ones we are most familiar with; these are the ones that produce power for our RVs and cabins, among other things. Thin film solar cells are the second generation of modules and use one of either amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium arsenide, or organic polymer as the semiconducting component. Although cheaper to produce, they also generate less power per unit of area than the standard first generation silicon panels, which, with present techniques, have reached efficiencies of 29 per cent. Even so, thin film is not far behind these monocrystalline silicon modules with gallium arsenide coming in at a close second in the efficiency department at 25 per cent. However, the latest angle of attack in the battle for increasing power production, and what is now referred to as the third generation of solar cells, are

ENERGY

tandem or multi-junction cells. These cells use multiple thin films stacked one on top of the other. Different colours in the spectrum have different energies; blue light, for example, has three times the energy of red light but silicon cannot capture this energy. In the case of a triple junction cell using gallium arsenide, for absorbing yellow light, germanium, for absorbing the red spectrum, and indium gallium phosphide for absorbing the blue rays; with each semi-conductor being chosen for their ability to absorb a particular colour of the solar spectrum, an amazing efficiency of 41 to 43 per cent is produced. These triple junction solar modules are what are being used by the Mars rovers. Incredibly the two rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have far surpassed their designed life of 90 days, due to the efficient energy harvesting of its solar panels, and Martian winds keep them more or less dust free. In fact, Opportunity is half way on its 19 km journey between Victoria and Endeavour craters after almost eight years of operation. Spirit shut down in March 2010 and NASA has suspended attempts to reestablish communication in May of this year, ending six years, two months and 19 days of operation. It only takes a simple calculation to determine that the third generation of the solar photovoltaic panels produce the most watts of power per dollar cost. It is just a matter of time before these panels become available to anyone intrigued by alternate energy; especially as the demand around the world steadily increases year over year, generation by generation.

Environmental report card REPORT DETAILS RED DEER’S PROGRESS ON SEVEN KEY ENVIRONMENTAL AREAS BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Copies of the city’s report card on the Environmental Master Plan are now available to the public. The annual report to the community outlines the city’s progress on seven focus areas: air, waste, energy, ecology, transportation and built environment. It was released on Thursday. Nancy Hackett, Environmental Initiatives supervisor, said the report keeps the community informed on where the city has made environmental progress and where improvements can be made. “Not only does it keep the city accountable to its environmen-

tal targets, it also provides an easy guide for residents to make their own progress towards better sustainability,” said Hackett. The results were presented to council earlier this fall. The ambitious plan outlines clear goals and strategies to protect the environment. Hackett said they have seen a lot of positive results, indicating that Red Deerians care about the community and its future. However, one of the areas that still needs a little more attention is air, said Hackett. “This is the third year that we have not been moving in the right direction to hit our air particulate target,” said Hackett. “That is one where we are starting to look at more air initiatives.”

Hackett said this is a good time to think about not idling vehicles for longer than necessary. “We all want a warm vehicle and we don’t want to damage our engines, but you only need to idle it for a few minutes,” said Hackett. “That’s one piece because vehicle emissions are a contributor to particulate matter.” Energy is also on the minds of residents because of the cost of home heating, said Hackett. This year, the city extended its green energy contract. She said it is a good time for residents to think about ways they can reduce energy use, such as using block heater timers. Last November, the city’s tracking of progress on the Environmental

LACOMBE COUNTY

Clubroot spreading; strategies considered BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

Satellite shops proposed BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

LACOMBE COUNTY

Lacombe County is planning to build satellite public works shops to improve service in the large municipality. A business plan approved by council on Thursday would see a shop built in the west end of the county next year and completed by the following year. The cost is estimated at $2.7 million. The plan is also to buy land in the Tees area for a shop serving the east side of the county, to be constructed in 2016-17. The initial price tag for that was set at $1.8 million. Also being considered is a shop to be tentatively in 2019-20 that would serve the proposed Deer River development. Envisioned as a 521-home development and golf course, Deer River would be built on a scenic site over-

looking the Red Deer River near Joffre. Council was given a preview of the development in September, but the application process had not yet begun. Coun. Rod McDermand questioned whether the business plan should refer to a possible future shop serving a development that has not even reached the application stage, let alone received council approval. “I just think we’re raising a flag that we don’t need to raise,” he said. The motion was amended to make it clear the county planned only to review the potential for a Deer River shop at this point. A fourth county building will also be considered for the Aspelund Industrial Park area west of Lacombe County’s offices on Hwy 12.

Phil Lodermeier, the county’s manager of operations, said cost estimates are very preliminary. Construction schedules, especially on the later projects, will depend on whether the current fast development growth continues. Coun. Dana Kreil supported the additional shops, saying they would prevent “service gaps” in the county. Also dealt with was bridge repair and replacement. Council approved a bridge replacement and maintenance plan that will see $3.4 million spent in 2015 to replace five bridges and undertake engineering design work on six others. The biggest project is replacing the so-called Pink Bridge near Bentley at a cost of $2.35 million ($400,000 is covered by insurance). The bridge was damaged by farm machinery in May. Maintenance work on 20 bridges and five culverts will cost $144,000. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Taylor Drive intersection fine-tuning planned The work is not completed on the Taylor Drive and Ross Street intersection. The city is fine-tuning the timing of traffic lights along Taylor Drive to improve vehicle and pedestrian flow this week. The east/west crosswalk at the south end of the intersection is timed

with the southbound left turn arrow. As a result, southbound traffic on Taylor Drive cannot have a green light at the same time as the left turn arrow. The east/west crosswalk at the north side of the intersection is timed with the westbound green light. The city is fine-tuning the timing at this intersections and the surrounding

intersections to improve flow. Once adjustments are made, it is anticipated that there will be fewer delays for motorists, particularly for southbound traffic. The new Taylor Drive and Ross Street intersection opened to motorists on Oct. 17, after the new alignment was constructed over the summer.

Highs in the single negative digits on Saturday and Sunday and a return to above freezing by Tuesday in the forecast will make for easier biking next week.

Lacombe County is urging canola producers to take precautions after inspections turned up 28 clubroot-contaminated fields this summer. Since 2008, clubroot has been discovered in 59 fields in the county and the latest results show the disease has taken hold, said Dion Burlock, agricultural fieldman with the county. Last year, most cases of clubroot were found in the northern part of the county. But the disease has since spread to other areas of the sprawling county that runs west to Buffalo Lake and east past Eckville, and a few kilometres north of Lacombe south to Blackfalds. First discovered in canola fields northwest of Edmonton in Sturgeon County in 2003, clubroot has spread quickly. It continues to march south at about 30 km a year with Red Deer, Stettler and Lacombe Counties already affected in Central Alberta. In the County of Stettler, 267 fields were surveyed this year and clubroot found in nine, said Quinton Beaumont, director of agricultural services. Red Deer County’s latest results were not available. Burlock said 178 fields were inspected this year and canola was found in about one in five fields. The spread of the disease shows many producers have not yet turned to clubroot-resistant canola, which has proven effective. In areas where clubroot was found last year, contamination was down this year because of the steps that producers took. “The majority of our cases where we did find clubroot, it was on conventional canola,” he said. “We’re in an area now where we’re in management mode. The disease is expanding and it has expanded in the last two years.” Besides changing seed, producers can increase years between canola crops. Alberta’s Canola Clubroot Management Plan recommends canola crops be planted only every four years. The county intends to promote both clubroot-resistant seeds and increased rotations to its producers. County council also directed another meeting of an ad hoc committee looking into clubroot be organized to discuss the issue. A producer meeting may also be called if the Alberta Canola Producers does not hold its own. Some councillors said ratepayers were concerned that clubroot may have been spread by oil and gas and power line contractors. Dion said while fingers have been pointed at industry, it is nearly impossible to determine how the disease has spread to a particular field. “To date in the process, I don’t think anybody has proved how it got onto their property.” pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Four Red Deer-area residents alleged to have ties with the Red Scorpions crime group have been given two more weeks to enter elections on criminal charges now before the court. Cory James Lesperance, 30, Amber McLeod, 25, Robin Joseph Stewart, 52, and Nicholas David James White, 22, were arrested on July 23 during police raids in Airdrie, Calgary and Red Deer County. All four suspects face a range of charges, including possession of drugs for trafficking and possession of stolen property worth more than $5,000. Lesperance is also charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a prohibited weapon and five counts of breaching release conditions. He and Stewart were arrested at Stewart’s home in an acreage subdivision east of Red Deer. White and McLeod were arrested at a home in Calgary. Lesperance has been denied bail. White is still awaiting a bail hearing. Stewart and McLeod were released earlier. All four have made multiple court appearances since their arrests. However, they have not entered pleas or indicated whether they want their charges heard in provincial court or the Court of Queen’s Bench. In Red Deer provincial court on Thursday, Judge Gordon Yake ordered that they return to court prepared to enter their elections on Thursday, Nov. 26.

Land Use Bylaw Amendment 3357/R-2014 An Amendment to the Direct Control District No. 25 City Council is considering amending the Land Use Bylaw to amend the Direst Control District (25) to reduce the minimum yard requirement on one side of future Lots A through D from 9.0 meters to 5.3 meters. The proposed amendment is in response to additional road widening along Taylor Drive and will enable the developer to maintain the density of development contemplated in the Southpointe Junction Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (NASP) and allow for more flexibility in site layout at the development stage.

In a time when appearances and riches were to key to being accepted in society, Florie seems to have it all.

Book teaches youth there are many people of good will despite evil in world Walking Home By Eric Walters

PEGGY FREEMAN

BOOK REVIEW

I don’t usually review books for the pre-teen reader, but this is a timely story of children who seem to have lost everything and how an old story leads them back to family. Eric Walter is well known to young readers across Canada. He has made many school presentations and has been the recipient of many writing awards. His books are available around the world in many languages. This story takes place in Kenya, a country Eric knows well. The two main characters are Muchoki, who is 13, and Jata, who is seven. They belong to the Kikuyu tribe, though their mother is Kamba. Up until, recently these two had lived with their parents in a small, bustling Kenyan village. They were not rich but the father worked hard and the days passed with good times. Then came political unrest and killing, and the family of Muchoki and Ja-

ta had to run from the evil that pursued them. Uncles and aunts fled, too, but when it was all over, there was only Muchoki and Jata and their mother left. Their new home became one of many, many tents, stretched out over a large area in a refugee camp. Though there was food and water available and a measure of safety, this little remnant of a family could only wonder what the future would bring. More trouble arrives: their mother has malaria and grows weaker every day. She tells the children about her first home, many miles away, and how when she married their father, her parents were not happy to lose her. If only they could go there to the small village of Kikima, there would be grandparents and uncles and all sorts of family. Kikima is more than one hundred miles away, on dangerous roads, through the heart of Nairobi. As their options become fewer, Muchoki must make some difficult decisions for their future. Their mother has told the two children many sto-

She grew up living the lavish life, and now married at 18-years-old to a wealthy man 18 years her senior, things seem to be coming together perfectly for the “American heiress” (as she is referred to by Liverpool’s rich and nobility). After an extravagant honeymoon, the couple move into the Battlecrease House on Riverdale Road in Liverpool. With 20 rooms, a flourishing garden, Turkish carpets, servants and even a wishing well, the only thing that Florie must be concerned with re the ever-judging eyes on her — not only from her neighbours but from her staff at Battlecrease, who appear to have a hard time accepting this young American princess. This novel will throw twists and turns at you, making it difficult to put the book down. Florie did know that her new husband has an unnerving addiction to several medications (along with small doses of arsenic). Nor did she know he has a quick temper that if ignited, can lead to a hard punch to the face for Florie. She brushes it off at first, believing Jim when he cries and promises it will never happen again. The years go by and the couple now has two children: James (nicknamed Bobo) and Gladys. On the outside, Florie seems to be the happiest woman in the world with her growing family. But out of the public’s eye is a whole different story. She is still not accustomed to the way of life in England; she is at war with her staff and the nanny of her children, who she begged Jim not to hire. And when her opinions and wishes are not being heard, tensions rise between her and Jim. Because divorce is not an option, Jim and Florie begin battling each other by having numerous affairs. They might be able to hurt one another with jealously, but they are unaware of the damage they’re doing to themselves. It is during these rough times that during readers are given spontaneous diary entries from the point of view of Jim. These entries are eerie, crude and within Jim’s hateful words, we see Jack the Ripper spring to life. What follows is described so bluntly that it is sinister. This is a well-written novel, but I will warn readers that if you are easily offended or sensitive, this novel is not for you. Out of all the approaches taken on by authors about Jack the Ripper, Purdy’s novel is definitely in my top three for her outstanding plot, and the strained and edgy aura that grows greater with each chapter. As Florie stated from the beginning, “every love has its own peculiar story tied up with desperate bows of melodrama, madness, romance, tragedy, passion, pain and farce, sacrifice and gluttony, tenderness and grace, honour and deceit, punishment and pleasure, sanctity and sin, the bland, ho-hum ordinary and penny dreadful thrills, where vengeance and bliss some times sleep side by side in the same bed.” Kirsten Lowe is a Red Deer College student and freelance book reviewer.

ries to pass the time. One such is an old story about a girl who journeys a long way from home, but before she left, she tied a string to the doorknob. Then she let the string out as she walked, so that someday she could return. One of the beautiful details of this story is that, though there is much evil in the world and they have come face to face with that evil, there are many people of good will and kindness. Muchoki uses his head and his heart, and the lessons of his childhood, to take their lives in a new direction. It’s important that this group of readers, aged nine to 12, read about the world. Children just like them live with danger and lost opportunities in refugee camps around the world. This author, along with others, has created an orphanage for 400 children, named The Creation of Hope in the Mboonie District of Kenya; $1.30 from each sale of this book will go to that orphanage. Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

BlackBerry, Samsung partner on security BY THE CANADIAN PRESS An unlikely pairing of BlackBerry and Samsung, two rivals in the smartphone industry, took shape on Thursday as the Canadian technology firm announced it would make its mobile security technology available for the Android operating system. It was a partnership that delivered a strong message: BlackBerry may have a lower profile these days, but it’s still prepared to be competitive. “I don’t know how to feel these days. I don’t know whether to wish Samsung success or not,” BlackBerry chief executive John Chen joked from the stage at an investor conference in San Francisco. Starting next year, business customers will have access to software on Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets that is linked with BlackBerry’s new mobile security software, known as BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12.

Chen said BES12 will serve as an “anchor” for a plan to roll out more software to users and give large organizations the ability to manage both older BlackBerrys and more recent versions of its smartphones, as well as smartphones that run software from competitors like Microsoft, Google and Apple. It will be made available through numerous carriers, including Rogers in Canada and Vodaphone in the United Kingdom. The partnership combines the BES12 technology with Samsung KNOX, which is the company’s own mobile security platform. BlackBerry’s investor conference gave company executives an opportunity to show how far they’ve come since Chen took the leadership role about a year ago. Several other partnerships and product launches were unveiled at the event, including a limited-edition red BlackBerry Passport timed for Black Friday in the United States.

The company also said it will release the BlackBerry Classic, a new take on its popular older keyboard smartphones, on Dec. 17. New software called Enterprise Identity gives organizations the ability to manage secure access to its cloud-based internal applications and software. BBM Meetings was also demonstrated for the first time, an addition to BBM Messenger that lets up to 25 people voice and video conference over their smartphones, sharing spreadsheets and other documents. Shares of BlackBerry were ahead nine per cent, or $1.14 at $13.90, in late afternoon trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. After the presentation, Chen took a jab at other players in the industry, noting that he recently watched an interview with another technology company that was boasting about how it lured business customers away from BlackBerry’s services. “At that point I knew I was going to end their party,” he said.

Q3 RESULTS

Revenue up, earnings down for High Arctic BY ADVOCATE STAFF High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) reported on Thursday that its net earnings for the third quarter of 2014 were $3.7 million. That marked a 52 per cent decline from the $7.7 million that the Red Deer-based company earned during the same period of 2013. Earnings per share were seven cents, down from 16 cents a year ago. High Arctic’s revenues for the quarter were up 14 per cent, to $41.3 million from $36.3. The company said in a release that revenues from its Papua New Guinea and its Canadian operations were both up. For the nine months ended Sept. 30, High Arctic’s net earnings were $19.7 million, an eight per cent improvement over the $18.2 million recorded for the same nine-month period in 2013. Revenues over these three quarters in 2014 were $125.6 million, a 10 per cent jump from $114 million last year. “The outlook for High Arctic’s service offerings in Papua New Guinea remains buoyant for 2015,” said Tim Braun, High Arctic’s CEO in a release. “The Canadian business continues to strengthen on a year-over-year basis, and we are anticipating a solid fourth quarter. Despite the recent downturn in oil prices, the outlook for our market segments remains positive.” The release also said that High Arctic’s activity levels in Canada during the third quarter were improved, compared to the last year. It attributed this to better weather and stronger demand for completion and workover services in northeastern British Columbia. The company anticipates activity levels during the final quarter of 2014 to be similar to 2013, since customers have their remaining well completion budgets to use up prior to year end. However, if commodity prices continue to decline then activity levels in Canada next spring could be impacted, it said. High Arctic also announced on Thursday that it’s increased its monthly dividend to 1.5 cents a share, up 20 per cent from the previous monthly dividends paid.

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada says it’s weighing the possible benefits of issuing electronic money. Senior deputy governor Carolyn Wilkins says the central bank is evaluating the merits of digital currencies like Bitcoin — even as it monitors e-money’s potential pitfalls. In prepared remarks for her speech Thursday in Waterloo, Ont., Wilkins says people who use e-money need to be aware of the risks of putting their trust in a lightly regulated currency with limited or no user protection. She says e-money ranges from options like PayPal and pre-paid credit cards to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin — which are exchanged through computer transactions without the oversight of a central bank. Wilkins says the increasingly popular digital currencies are not yet big enough to pose material risk to Canada’s financial stability as a whole — but she notes the Bank of Canada is watching. She says the Bank of Canada has been working with the federal government to modernize Canada’s oversight of the payment method. Wilkins says virtual money can be used for criminal activities, such as money laundering and terrorist financing.

Loonie down: crude tumbles amid surge in U.S. gasoline inventories TORONTO — The Canadian dollar closed lower Thursday as oversupply concerns sent crude oil prices below US$75 for the first time in four years. The loonie slipped 0.47 of a cent to 87.9 cents US. The December crude oil contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell $2.97 to US$74.21 a barrel. The latest drop came amid a larger-thanexpected decline in crude inventories but a surprise increase in supplies of gasoline, one of the key refined products made from oil. The Energy Information Administration said U.S. oil supplies decreased 1.7 million barrels last week, much larger than the 500,000-barrel drop that analysts had expected. However, gasoline inventories rose by 1.8 million barrels against an expected 280,000 decrease. Meanwhile, OPEC said October crude production fell by 226,400 barrels a day to 30.25 million barrels, reflecting a drop in Saudi output to 9.6 million barrels a day.

Club Coffee complains to Competition Bureau about Keurig Green Mountain THE CANADIAN PRESS Club Coffee has filed a complaint with the Competition Bureau seeking an investigation into Keurig Green Mountain, saying the single-serve coffee pod and coffee maker company is blocking fair competition. The formal complaint to the federal regulator is being led by the Toronto-based coffee roaster, though five other industry players are supporting the claims against the K-cup maker. It follows a $600-million lawsuit filed by Club Coffee last month alleging Keurig has attempted to reduce competition. Club Coffee has accused Keurig of making false statements and preventing its authorized distributors from dealing in unlicensed pods that are compatible with Keurig brewers. The company also alleges Keurig’s licensing agreements with coffee roasters prevents them from dealing with rival pod makers such as Club Coffee. “We want the bureau to investigate a strategy to force a monopoly in K-cup format single-serve coffee,” chief executive John Pigott said in prepared marks for a speech Thursday to the Economic Club of Canada in Ottawa. “They will see a strategy designed to keep prices higher than they would be in the open market ... They will see a strategy that will squeeze out consumer-friendly innovations.” In its lawsuit, Club Coffee is seeking compensation, punitive damages and a court order to permanently bar Keurig from alleged violations of various federal competition, trade-mark and consumer laws. A statement from Keurig Canada said the company “is confident that Club Coffee’s complaints are without merit” and it “will address the legal proceedings as appropriate.” Greg Scott, a spokesman for the Competition Bureau, said the regulator reviews each complaint it receives carefully. “We do that so that we can determine if there is evidence of anticompetitive behaviour,” Scott said.

RDC THEATRE STUDIES

Choose your own mystery MUSICAL WILL GIVE RED DEER THEATREGOERS A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN ON THE ENDING BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The Mystery of Edwin Drood might as well be called Who Isn’t in Love with Rosa Budd? When Rosa’s long-time fiancé Edwin Drood mysteriously disappears, it becomes a question of which of nine potential suspects is his killer. Could the murderer be Neville Landless, who arrives from India with his twin sister, promptly falls for Rosa and wants Edwin out of the way? Could it be the Reverend Mr. Crisparkle, who’s similarly infatuated with Drood’s intended wife, since she’s the spitting image of her deceased mother, with whom he was in love? Or is the culprit Edwin’s split-personality-ed uncle John Jasper? After all, he’s an opium addict with a dark side — who’s also secretly mesmerized by the lovely and alluring Rosa, his music student. It might be wise to question whether Edwin Drood is dead at all, for his body is never found. And Drood did have the peculiar dream of paving a new road across the Sahara Desert using stones from an Egyptian pyramid. ... A definitive solution to the mystery can never be found, since Charles Dickens, who wrote the novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood, died from a stroke when it was only halffinished in 1870. But that hasn’t stopped audiences at the musical stage version of the Drood story — which will be put on by Red Deer College Theatre Studies students starting on Thursday, Nov. 20 — from deciding how the melodramatic plot unfolds.

During every performance at the Red Deer College Arts Centre, viewers will be asked three things: Who killed Edwin Drood? (if, in fact, he is dead at all); which of the play’s characters is really the detective Dick Datchery in disguise?; and which two lovers will provide the play’s happy ending? The Mystery of Edwin Drood, which was adapted for the stage by Rupert Holmes, was the first Broadway musical with multiple endings determined by audience vote. And it was a huge success. After premiering in New York in 1985, it won five Tony Awards, including best musical best book, original score and leading actor. RDC instructor and show director Tom Bradshaw believes the fun musical will give Red Deer theatregoers a whimsical and entertaining experience with no underlying message whatsoever. “I hope they get a lot of enjoyment and laughs from it. ... It’s a little risque, there’s some language in it, but I would give it a PG rating,” he said. “We hope it’s the kind of show that teenagers will bring their parents to.” The U.K.-born American playwright Holmes, who incidentally wrote the No. 1 hit Escape (the Piña Colada song), was heavily influenced by his childhood love of English pantomime productions. One of the gender-bending panto traditions brought to this adaptation of Edwin Drood is filling the lead boy role with a female actor. Drood will be played by a young woman, pretending to be a man, in this production, said Bradshaw. He added that the show has been a terrific enterprise for

But the eager young people have risen to the task: “We have a great group of students,” said Bradshaw, who noted the 18 actors will pretend to be members of a Victorian musical hall troupe who are staging a musical based on Dickens’ unfinished novel. Students in the production side of the theatre program are creating the kind of set that would have been seen in Vic-

torian times — which means an elaborately ornate proscenium arch over the stage, and painted canvas scenery that can be dropped down from the rafters and later whisked away for quick set changes. Bradshaw said the show will also involve help from the RDC music department, which has provided vocal coaching as well as the nine-piece band that will play in an orchestra pit in front of the stage. More inter-departmental collaborating is being encouraged, noted the instructor,

who anticipates working with visual arts as well as music departments in years to come. “It’ll be interesting — (it’s a matter of) how do you create around what they have created?” Tickets to the 7:30 p.m. shows on Nov. 20 to 22 and Nov. 26 to 29 (1 p.m. matinees on Nov. 22 and 29) are $26.80, or $21.80 for students, seniors, from the Black Knight Ticket Centre. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate. com

Don’t call them impersonators INSIDE THE JUMPSUITED WORLD OF ELVIS TRIBUTE ARTISTS So don’t call them impersonators. They’re Elvis Tribute Artists now, thankyuhveramuch.

BY AMY ARGETSINGER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES OCEAN CITY, Md. — The Elvis on stage right now is a pretty good Elvis. He’s rocking out with a full band to See See Rider as a Jumpsuit Elvis, aka 1970s Elvis, the most popular kind of Elvis at this or any Elvis Festival. He moves well, and he stays in character between songs. “Hello, my name is, uhhh, Engelbert Humperdinck,” he jokes huskily. He leans down to give a little sugar to a lady in the front row. “Close your mouth next time,” he teases. Tim Hendry respects the Elvis he’s watching — a longtime friend and sometimes competitor from the North American Elvis impersonator circuit. Hendry is at the far back of the hotel ballroom where all the off-duty Elvises hang out, incognito in jeans, a dark shirt, Clark Kent glasses. Only his mane of black hair and spectacular mutton chops give him away. “He’s got a really good voice,” Hendry says. “On key. Strong. That’s a huge part of it.” Anything lacking? Well, the look isn’t perfect, Hendry says. “He’s a little shorter than Elvis. And his hair. He needs to work on his hair.” And maybe he’s, uh, a little too thin? At this point Hendry bristles slightly — in defense of his friend, in defense of their hero. “People always make that mistake with Elvis,” he chides. It was only in the final months

Tim Hendry of London, Ont., greets Chase Hafner, 7, of York, Penn., before the first round. “Sometimes they say, ‘I thought it was Elvis up there,’” Hendry says. ‘There’s no higher compliment.’ of his life, Hendry maintains, that the King piled on the excess weight that made him a cruel punch line after his death in 1977 at the age of 42. “He was really slim in ’72, ’73, ’74. He looked great in that suit.” That suit. That hair. Those hips. That voice. The jiggling knee, the sleepy smile, the whirling arms. The growl, the croon, the bedroom whisper, the haunting sob. Of course, Elvis Presley, who would have

turned 80 in January, was so much more than the sum of his parts — a perfect storm of killer talent and towering charisma that collided with a voracious new youth culture, remade pop music and then died too soon. But for Hendry and the others who try channel him, getting those parts right is both art and science — maybe even an act of devotion. Forget everything you think you know about Elvis imper-

sonators — those sideburned dudes working as airport greeters in Nevada, the kitschy karaoke hosts, the wacky Elvii capering through Honeymoon in Vegas. The men working the surprisingly intense — and potentially lucrative — competition circuit aren’t in on that joke. Millions of fans, old and young, still crave some taste of the live Elvis experience they probably never enjoyed for real, and these guys are dead serious about delivering it.

He performs as Tim “E” Hendry. You know what the “E” is for. He’s got the height of Elvis, about 6-foot-1. He has the hair of Elvis — not a wig like some guys, although, yes, he dyes it, but hey, so did Elvis. He’s been told he has the Elvis cry in his voice. “Sometimes they say, ‘I thought it was Elvis up there,’ “ Hendry says. “There’s no higher compliment.” Hendry, 47, has traveled here from his home in London, Ont, on a mission: to win the Ocean City Elvis Festival, one of several regional qualifying competitions that can earn a tribute artist a berth in the annual Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest in Memphis, where the grand prize is $20,000. He’s competed at that national level for the past five years — first, as the champion of the 2010 Collingwood (Ontario) Elvis Festival and later as the emissary of Elvis fests in Toronto, Philadelphia, and Portage, Indiana, where he’s won twice. (The next competition will be Dec. 6 at Foxwood Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.) He’s already making a living as a nearly full-time Elvis, an income supplemented by drumming in other people’s bands. The Ultimate trophy might boost his career, but that’s not the point.

The Comeback still hurts so good BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

ELVIS: As many as 3,000 tribute artists “I’m stubborn,” he says. “Yeah, I’m disappointed I haven’t won already. I love the fans. And I just love Elvis so much.” He used to avoid the competitions: “They can be political,” he says. But titles have lately become an increasingly essential part of a working Elvis’s résumé. For years, Elvis Presley Enterprises kept its distance from the impersonator community. That changed not long after the King’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, sold a majority interest in 2005. Open to new revenue streams and eager to protect the brand, the new EPE management brought tribute artists into the fold, hosting the first Ultimate contest in 2007. Now an annual event, it’s one of only two contests that now carry EPE’s blessing. The first winner, Shawn Klush, now does 130 shows a year, including arenas in South America and reality TV in England. Other winners have played Presley in touring companies of the Broadway musical Million Dollar Quartet. Promoters estimate there are as many as 3,000 Elvis tribute artists in the world, but fewer than a dozen making a big salary from it. Most of those have won one of the top prizes. Hendry hasn’t won yet, but last year he claimed a national non-EPE-sanctioned title, King of the World. And after sizing up the other talent for several years, he feels good about his place in the hierarchy. His voice is strong; his moves may be even better. “Elvis had incredible rhythm,” he says. “I think I’m lucky to be a drummer.”

was slightly too meta and even a bit too ahead of its time nine years ago, is a mockumentary journey into Valerie’s attempt to revivify her sad acting career. Ten years on, we find Valerie slightly miffed that the glory accidentally visited upon her by The Comeback was fleeting. Since then, she has worked sporadically (imagine her in a cheap slasher film here, a few CSI episodes there) and even had a shot at being on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, except that she distrusted the producers and had an on-camera meltdown during the filming of a pilot episode circa 2008, accusing the show of being

scripted. Valerie, who still lives in Beverly Hills with her long-suffering husband Mark (Damian Young) and still has her fiery tresses tended to by her loyal hairdresser Mickey (Robert Michael Morris), has decided to launch her own show and reclaim what she feels is her rightful place in the history of the reality-TV genre. She hires an amateur camera crew (including Mark’s spoiled nephew) to follow her around and help her film a micro-managed sequel to The Comeback. She hopes to create a pilot episode to show to Bravo’s Andy Cohen, who makes a cameo as himself, lunch-

ing at the Chateau Marmont. (“I get it now,” she whispers to Cohen, regarding the dirty little secrets of reality TV.) Here’s where things get ridiculously, even deliciously meta: Valerie learns that her former Room and Bored nemesis, Paulie G. (Lance Barber), is shooting a semi-autobiographical comedy series for HBO called Seeing Red. It’s about a TV writer/producer trying to launch a network sitcom while battling a heroin addiction and being tormented by an older, washed-up actress.

He’s still practising, still studying, burnishing the tactics that could push his Elvis over the top. Watching the old clips again recently — Elvis doing “Polk Salad Annie,” the wild, bluesy rave-up that was a staple of his ‘70s concerts — Hendry noticed something he’d never seen before. He demonstrates the move: Body tensed and quivering with the beat, his fist etching an urgent little question mark in the air, then jabbing the dot at the bottom, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Even if you haven’t seen Elvis doing it, you can just picture Elvis doing it. “If you want to be successful at anything,” Hendry says, “you’ve got to work at it.”

talks as Elvis — bingo, there’s his extra-credit point: “Well, we heard shum rockabilly. How about shum real rock ‘n’ roll?” Stewart presses just the gentlest slur onto those s-words, and it works. None of this may matter, though, judging by the polite commotion going on outside in the lobby outside the performance hall at this very moment ... Ladies and gentlemen, Doug Church has not left the building. A veteran Elvis who’s highly favored in this competition, Church arrived here aglow from a victory two weeks earlier in Portage, his ticket to the Memphis championship already secured. Church sang first this morning, but he’s lingering in the lobby to pose for photos with the longtime fans who followed him to Maryland. They call themselves the Churchgoers. “He’s what we call the true voice of Elvis,” says Helen Miller, a fan from Philadelphia. Patty Villanueva of Trenton was a Tom Jones fan for 30 years, no interest in Elvis whatsoever — until 2005, when a friend dragged her to see Church. So now she’s an Elvis fan? “I’m a Doug Church fan,” she says. In fact, she’s his fan club president. Another fan approaches: “I’m going to tell you something about Doug Church that even he doesn’t know,” whispers the man. Rich St. Maur, of Stratford, New Jersey, says he has studied videotapes of all the top-tier ETAs, developing a point system to rank their skills. Klush scored an 88, Ultimate 2011 winner Cody Ray Slaughter an 83, and so on. Only one man could come close to the score of 98 that St. Maur gave Church — and that was Elvis Presley himself, with a score of 93. “He is the second coming of Elvis,” St. Maur confides, “and he doesn’t realize it.” Of all the men here, the 50-something performer from Mishiwaka, Indiana, may be the best-equipped to

articulate the mechanics of an Elvis tribute. A full-time impersonator since 1990, Church also markets his own “Sing Like the King” instructional DVDs with tips on vibrato and pronunciation. This year marked his return to the circuit after a lengthy break. “My wife put me through Elvis boot camp,” he says of his preparation. What he learned:

★★★ On a bright fall Saturday morning, 20 men are taking their turn on stage in the dark ballroom of the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau for the second round of preliminaries. Here you can see the basic building blocks of an Elvis tribute. Matt Cage has the timbre of Elvis. The voice is practically a prerequisite, of course, and Cage, a 30-ish Elvis doing “Danny Boy” in a jumpsuit, is raising goosebumps with those rich, butterscotch tones. The goosebumps subside when he drops character between songs to joke about his excess of black hair dye. Joe Ramsey has the lungs of Elvis. A tribute artist from Saratoga Springs, New York, his “Burning Love” doesn’t rock like Elvis’, but he shrewdly moves into a deeper cut, “Rags to Riches,” and when his tenor vibrates on those big Pavarotti notes (my fate is uuuhhhuhhhp too-ooo youuuu-ouuu!), the audience leaps to its feet. Bruce Stewart has the yelp of Elvis. In an Early Years pompadour and red jacket, he deploys that hiccuping sob in the upper register of the acrobatic ‘50s songs: “Aaaanywayyyy you wa-ah, ah-ah, ahnt me!” And when Stewart

Church flashes an easy smile, gleaming, white and even. Yep — the teeth of Elvis, all right. Doug Church wins first place and the $2,000 prize, but since he’s already Memphis-bound, the Ultimate berth goes to David Lee, the barrel-chested Birmingham, Alabama, native who comes in second. Tim Hendry comes in third. He’s disappointed. Was it song choice? In the finals, he led off with “Johnny B. Goode,” where he didn’t sound much like Elvis. Then again, Elvis didn’t sound much like Elvis whenever he sang the Chuck Berry hit, a song based more on yelling than crooning. Arguably, Hendry got it right on technical merit. Regardless: The challenge isn’t just competing with all the Elvises in the room, but with the Elvis in everyone’s head.

● Elvis’ stance was always erect yet relaxed. Straight back, arms loose. Legs apart, his weight generally resting on one, gunfighter style. ● His movements were angular, those fierce diagonal arm swings in front of the body. Imagine handling a medicine ball, all motions exaggerated, bigger than life, with a powerful momentum and follow-through. ● He liked to switch the microphone from one hand to the other; if looking to the left, he was holding the mike in his right. ● And he smiled, a lot. “Even if you are in a serious moment, break it up now and then.”

Only a little ways into watching the much, much awaited return of HBO’s The Comeback, I remembered the pain. Looking back on the show’s lone, brilliant season from 2005 — large parts of which I could re-enact from memory if called to do so — viewers typically think of how much we laughed at Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King’s wonderfully conceived send-up of showbiz and reality TV. Now that it’s back, viewers may rediscover the lump in the throat that accompanied watching The Comeback. It’s an icy sort of hurt that follows Kudrow’s character, a washed-up and selfabsorbed former sitcom star named Valerie Cherish. There’s a lot of humiliation and embarrassment involved, and not the cutesy kind of awkwardness that we went on to celebrate in other mockumentary-style comedies like Modern Family, The Office and Parks and Recreation. The Comeback hurts in a way that feels about as real as something fake can hurt. Heartbreak was the show’s true triumph, but it’s also the part of the show that viewers might have easily repressed. The good news — which is also the “bad” news upon which a sequel to The Comeback must hinge upon — is that Valerie hasn’t changed a bit. (And Kudrow still plays her with a perfect blend of cluelessness and manipulativeness.) A great deal of this new iteration of The Comeback is essentially an homage to the first, with cameos and tangents involving characters from Valerie’s world who, to their dismay, are still characters in Valerie’s world. It’s hard to say if the first five episodes of the new series entirely succeed the same way the original series did, especially when you spend most of that time simply being glad that it’s on again. As with most wishes that suddenly come true in pop-culture land, there’s bound to be some letdown. The show’s original premise, which

An artist ahead of his time

by Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto. These early works often feel fussy and mannered, with a nervous energy that hasn’t yet been incorporated into the expressive freedom of his later works. Christ Cleansing the Temple, from the National Gallery, was probably painted before 1570, when he was working in Venice, and its brilliant colours and serpentine figures connect it to that milieu; but although rich in narrative drama, it also feels cluttered and overstuffed, a painting clamoring to be noticed and failing at the same time. And yet one is glad to have this work, and the circa-1570 Christ Healing the Blind at the Met, included, because there is a tendency to define the artist only by the works of his mature style, the El Greco of Spain, and in particu-

lar the late El Greco from Toledo. The power of these works, and the influence they had on artists from Mary Cassatt and Degas to Picasso and Jackson Pollock, have tended to leave the impression of an El Greco disconnected from time and place, a trans-historical inspiration to genius across the ages. He was inspiring, to be sure, but he was also a chameleon, keenly alert to the religious and social forces of his day, and the astonishingly free and expressive style he developed in Spain didn’t emerge like a flash of inspiration but was built upon a lifetime of absorbing and developing techniques acquired in Italy and Crete. The New York exhibition does a slightly better job of placing El Greco in that larger context, in part because

it includes portraits and a fascinating miniature among the more flamboyant mannerist works of his Spanish years. The portrait of Cardinal Fernando Niño de Guevara, probably made around 1600, is by no means conventional, but it shows El Greco’s ability to channel other artistic tendencies, in this case Titian’s psychological penetration. If the tiny, oval miniature portrait of a man made sometime in the late 1580s is in fact by El Greco — the Met acknowledges there has been dispute on this point — it, too, demonstrates the artist’s ability to turn off almost all the salient characteristics of his style and produce a relatively simple, seemingly objective and documentary image. But of course, it is not this El Greco that attracts us. It is the fluid El Greco, the chromatically exuberant El Greco, the mannerist El Greco who tends to the visually bizarre, in rather the same way his contemporary, the composer Gesualdo, tended to the dissonant and what now sounds to us like atonality. The bizarre is everywhere present in both exhibitions. The Vision of Saint John at the Met looks like a bit of modern dance staged against the backdrop of oversized cloaks, creating a curtained space that thrusts the drama forward, as if El Greco was trying to break the theatrical fourth wall. Fabric isn’t just something to be rendered; it seems essential to some inner compulsion in the artist’s reimagining of classical biblical scenes. The Visitation at the National Gallery, borrowed from Dumbarton, recasts the biblical encounter of Mary and her cousin Elizabeth as a dialogue of two cloaks, the faces barely teased out from the shadows. The National Gallery’s Saint Martin and the Beggar is explicitly a story about fabric, about an elegant young soldier on horseback who shares his green cloak with a naked man who stands meekly beside him. The saint holds out his sword, perhaps to cut the fabric, but that first reading of the image doesn’t quite resolve its ambiguity. Why is there more fabric flowing down one side of the horse than the other? If he’s about to cut the material, why isn’t the sword positioned to do that? The painting leaves one with the sense that the cloak itself is miraculously oversized, as if — rather like the story of the fishes and the loaves — there will always be more cloak coming. The ostensible story points one toward a more intangible drama between these two men .

to film her latest comeback. Despite Jane’s better judgment, she agrees to the job, mostly because the HBO money will fund her next documentary. It might sound confusing, but it’s also perfectly suited to the present day. Finding herself immersed overnight in the cachet of filming an HBO series, Valerie realizes too late that she is reliving a nightmare. Though much is made of Valerie’s disastrous participation in a Groundlings improv comedy class (which she takes in hopes of keeping up with her co-star Rogen’s ability to riff in the middle of a scene), it’s worth keeping in mind that The Comeback is not a work of improvisation, even though it appears to be. A moment arrives in Episode 5 that is very much like a crucial pivot in the original series, when Jane

first realized that Valerie is a wounded, even pitiable subject, deserving of protection from the exploitative cameras all around her. It’s a reassurance that the narrative arc is very much in the careful hands of writers who cherish Valerie Cherish the same way that viewers do. When a New York Times reporter visits the Seeing Red set and compliments Valerie on a “brave” performance, Valerie begins to worry that she is once again complicit in her own career sabotage,

seeing as how she is now clad head-totoe in a bright green body suit so as to be turned into the CGI “monster” that Paulie G. envisions her to be. She scrambles around to rescue her image, even as it’s possible that Paulie G.’s show and HBO’s standards have brought out the finest acting work she’s ever done. This is when I love Valerie the most — and why I ache for her as well. Even when things go right, she just can’t get out of her own way.

TWO SMALL EXHIBITIONS HONOUR EL GRECO ON THE 400TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH BY PHILIP KENNICOTT ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES WASHINGTON — It has been 400 years since Domenikos Theotokopoulos died, in 1614, and in Spain there have been major celebrations of his work. In the United States, the anniversary of the artist known as El Greco has been treated less lavishly. The two phenomena are related: both the National Gallery in Washington and New York’s Metropolitan Museum lent important works to Spanish exhibitions, which meant that neither could mount a major show on its own. But the artist is too popular, and too rewarding, to be entirely neglected, so now, late in the year, both the Met and the National Gallery have mounted small exhibitions. Both shows are contained in a single room, both center on one or two pieces already familiar to and deeply beloved by audiences, and both are filled out with lesser works, in some cases by the studio of El Greco, who was a savvy entrepreneur and maintained a busy business of making copies of his own works. And yet both are potent if circumscribed overviews. El Greco in New York is billed as “a mini-retrospective,” with works from both the Met and the Hispanic Society of America, and is dominated by two masterpieces, View of Toledo and The Vision of Saint John. The National Gallery’s El Greco in the National Gallery of Art and Washington-Area Collections draws on its own rich holdings, plus works from Dumbarton Oaks and the Phillips Collection in Washington and the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. The newly restored Saint Martin and the Beggar and the magnificent Laocoon preside over this exhibition. Neither exhibition, unfortunately, includes work from the artist’s earliest period, when he was an icon painter in Crete. They take up the thread with his move to Italy, where he spent time in Venice and Rome and began working in a style influenced to various degrees

Valerie obtains a copy of the script and decides to march over to HBO and threaten to sue the network for defamation, with her camera crew in tow. Long story short, Valerie winds up getting cast in the part based on her (“Mallory Church”), opposite Seth Rogen, who is playing a character based on Paulie G. To that, the fictional HBO executives decide they would like to make a professionally produced “behind the scenes” documentary about Valerie’s return to television, in the same vein as The Comeback. Valerie begs the reclusive Jane (now a jaded, OscarGALAXY winning documentarian)

ROWBOTHAM Kenneth Walter Nov. 28, 1930 - Nov. 6, 2014 Ken passed away peacefully on November 6, 2014 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital at the age of 83 years. Ken had taken a fall a few weeks back and broke his hip, and complications from the trauma and stress to his body mounted. Ken fought hard and was making daily improvements, and things were looking good, but perhaps the thought of losing his independence to illness was too much, and he just gave up. Ken was born at the Red Deer Municipal Hospital on November 28, 1930, the second of four sons to Walter and Ellen Rowbotham. Ken was raised at the family homestead near Pine Lake, and attended the Grassy Lake School House, all the time working on the farm. In his adult life Ken continued to farm at Pine Lake, and lastly at Blackfalds, before retiring in 1992. Ken was predeceased by his father Walter, his mother Ellen, and his brothers Aubrey and Vernon. Ken is survived by his wife and best friend, Alida Rowbotham of Calgary, stepson, Jason Laurie and family of Calgary, stepdaughter, Alison Senycz and family of Calgary, stepdaughter, Tiffany Haynes of Mesa, Arizona, and brother, Austin Rowbotham and family of St. Albert. Ken was a devoted son and brother, and for many years he tirelessly looked after his parents and his brother Vernon. Ken was an all around great fellow with a terrific sense of humour, and a friendly and charitable disposition. Ken was always a great admirer of nature, and he loved everything to do outdoors, especially gardening, fishing, trapping, hunting, berry picking, and simple drives to the countryside. It is hard to find people like Ken these days; perhaps God doesn’t make them anymore, but Ken was definitely one of the good ones, and he will be truly missed. The family extends their sincere appreciation to the attending physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and support staff of the ICU at the Red Deer Hospital, for the exemplary care provided to Ken the last few weeks. There are too many names to mention, but if you are reading this, you probably spoke with Jason, and you will know who you are. Much gratitude goes out to the families of Dale Herbert, Tom Herbert, and Shane Havervold for helping out in the manner they did. Ken thought the world of you guys, thanks for a lifetime of friendship! Thanks to Tom at the Heartland Funeral Services for helping make sense of things the past week. The Pine Lake country was always in Ken’s blood, and he often recounted stories of his upbringing there, life was an adventure back in the 30’s and 40’s, and a book should probably be written about the mischievous and fun filled times of that era. It is fitting then, that a reception in his memory be held at the Pine Lake HUB on Saturday November 15, 2014, between 12:00 pm and 4:00 pm. If you knew Ken from years ago, or in more recent times, you are welcome to attend. A great lunch and beverages will be provided. Please contact Ken’s son Jason at 403-651-3335 for additional information. HEARTLAND FUNERAL SERVICES, LTD., Innisfail entrusted with arrangements.

She will be lovingly remembered by her sisters Nora and Aggie and her brother John; her children Donna (Phil), Ev (Lyle), Shirley (Mahlon), Bev (Dan) and Bill (Kathy); 11 grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren and 2 great grand dogs.

announcements Obituaries ANDERSON Duncan Alexander June 3, 1943 - Nov. 1, 2014 Born June 3, 1943 in Port Arthur, Ontario to parents Lawrence and Anna Christina. Died November 1, 2014 in Red Deer, Alberta with family near his side. Even as a young boy growing up, Duncan’s love of reading started early with the Hardy Boys detective books. This passion eventually led to a very rewarding and fulfilling career as a teacher-librarian in numerous school districts and provinces. After graduating from high school in Winnipeg, Manitoba, he enrolled in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Winnipeg. It was while working on his degree at the Faculty of Education in 1964 that he met and fell in love with Patricia Elaine Wright. They were married on December, 28th of the same year. In the summer of 1965 Duncan and Elaine moved to Fort Frances, Ontario to begin their life long careers of teaching. The next few years brought the birth of their children Tracey, Tara and Greg. At this time also Duncan explored his love of cooking with a group of friends and the formation of “The Gourmet Club”. They would meet every 6 weeks for the opportunity to explore foods from different lands and friendship. In 1980 the family relocated to Elkford, BC where Duncan continued spreading his love of books to his students. After several years itchy feet struck again and the family moved to Red Deer, Alberta. While there he continued to teach at several different schools in Red Deer. Duncan also was extensively involved with the Red Deer Public Library and sat on their board for many years. The urge to travel began to grow and he and Elaine travelled to many exotic locations including England, Venice, Barcelona, Istanbul, Greece and China before her passing in May of 2010. Throughout these trips Duncan took many beautiful photographs portraying the sights and surroundings around him. Duncan continued to explore this beautiful world we live in with further travels to Sicily, The Black Sea,The Netherlands and Spain. At this time he also participated in a volunteer program to visit Spain and teach English to participants there. While back in Red Deer, he continued to volunteer with the Library Board, at Ten Thousand Villages and with the Adult Literacy Program. Sadly in the spring of 2012 Duncan was diagnosed with lung cancer. He continued to strive to enjoy his days and to not let the cancer affect him negatively. While attending a Living Book event put on by the Red Deer Public Library he met Kim who would become a warm and compassionate companion for his last years. After undergoing chemo and radiation treatments it continued to spread and although he fought valiantly it won the battle on November 1, 2014. Until his death, Duncan was still living life to the fullest and enjoyed good food, good company and the time spent with his family and friends. He continued to travel within North America and was still swinging his golf clubs. He is fondly remembered by his daughters Tracey (Darren Halladay), Tara (James McGhee), son Greg, grandchildren Brandi, Edge, Emilee, Maria; great grandchildren Savannah and Liam. He is also survived by his brother Don Anderson. A celebration of life will be held in the Red Deer Public Library, Snell Auditorium, 4818 - 49 St., Red Deer, AB on Saturday, November 22, 2014 between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Duncan’s honour may be made directly to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, 1331 - 29 St. NW, Calgary, AB T2N 4N2, the Kidney Foundation, # 212, 4711 - 51 Ave., Red Deer, AB, T4N 6H8 or to the Red Deer Hospice, 99 Arnot Ave., Red Deer, AB T4R 3S6.

BRIEFS

Judge sticks to BP gross negligence ruling, could cost company billions NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge in New Orleans is sticking to his ruling that said BP’s conduct in the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil rig disaster amounted to “gross negligence.” It could mean close to $18 billion in federal penalties for the British oil giant. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier on Thursday rejected BP’s call to either amend his Sept. 4 judgment or hold a new trial on the issue. BP attorneys filed a motion in October arguing that Barbier’s ruling was based on expert testimony that had been excluded from the earlier trial. Barbier disagreed in an 11-page ruling that included excerpts from the testimony. Barbier said there was no basis for BP’s claim that the testimony was unfair or prejudicial.

Jamaica cops receive U.S. training, equipment to help cut down on lethal force

463479J31-K21

Misc. for Sale

KINGSTON, Jamaica — A group of Jamaican police officers is taking a course with U.S. trainers to practice ways of subduing people without permanently injuring or killing them, officials said Thursday. Twenty-six officers with the Jamaica Constabulary Force are in the course, which focuses on the use of weaponry like batons and pepper spray to avoid lethal force. They are expected to return to their divisions and train others. There was a demonstration for government, police and U.S. Embassy officials Thursday. Afterward, National Security Minister Peter Bunting announced that the U.S. had provided some $2 million worth of batons, pepper spray, handcuffs and utility belts for Jamaican police. Allegations of police killings have been chronic for many years in Jamaica, with rights groups charging that a culture of impunity resulted in too many officers having a shoot-first mentality. Residents of mostly poor neighbourhoods regularly protest what they say are unjustified killings by lawmen. An independent agency that investigates allegations of abuses by security forces recently announced that there has been a steady decline in police killings this year. At the end of October, there were 103 such killings, a 53 per cent decrease from the same period last year.

Supreme court refuses to annul ruling that struck down state’s no-bail law for immigrants PHOENIX — Hundreds of immigrants who have been denied bail under a strict Arizona law will now have the opportunity to be released after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling Thursday in the closely watched case. The high court kept intact a lowercourt ruling from three weeks ago that struck down the law, which was passed in 2006 amid a series of immigration crackdowns in Arizona over the past decade. The law denies bail to immigrants who are in the country illegally and have been charged with a range of felonies that include shoplifting, aggravated identity theft, sexual assault and murder. As a result, immigrants spend months in jail and often simply plead guilty and get turned over to federal immigration authorities for deportation. The decision clears the way for a wave of bail hearings for immigrants across Arizona.

Trial starts for 3 Brazilians charged with murder allegedly ate some victims SAO PAULO, Brazil — Three people charged with killing at least two women, eating parts of their bodies and using their flesh to make and sell stuffed pastries went on trial Thursday in northeastern Brazil. The man, his wife and his mistress were arrested in April 2012 in the city of Garanhuns and police say they have confessed to the crimes. The three allegedly lured women to their house by promising them a job as a nanny. Police found the remains of the two women in the backyard of the suspects’ house. At the time of their arrest they told police they belonged to a sect that preached “the purification of the world and the reduction of its population.” Authorities said the trio made thick “empada” pastries with the flesh of their victims, which the three and also a young child who lived with the man and wife ate. The pastries were also sold to some neighbours. Shortly after their arrest, police found a 50-page book titled “Revelations of a Schizophrenic” written by suspect Jorge Beltrao Negromonte da Silveira. In it, he said he heard voices and was obsessed with the killing of women. Police also arrested Silveira’s wife, Isabel Cristina Pires, and his mistress, Bruna Cristina Oliveira da Silva, who lived with the couple. The G1 news portal quoted Silveira as saying during the trial’s opening: “I committed a horrible monstrous mistake. It was a moment of extreme weakness and brutality that I regret.”

Here is the flip side: Our stepmother, a lovely woman, came into our family after my siblings and I were grown. While we never had a close bond, we included her in all of our life events. Most importantly, our children considered her to be their grandmother. When Dad died, we all mourned together. For the next couple of years, we regularly invited “Grandma” to all family events. However, she soon began saying it was inconvenient for her to come and would rebuff any attempt we made to make it easier, such as picking her up or having her stay with us. She hasn’t invited her grandchildren over since my father died. She didn’t attend graduations or send birthday greetings. At first, our children were hurt, but five years later, they no longer care. I still call several times a year, but it’s like dropping a coin down a well. She has a large extended family of her own, and when I call them to ask whether she’s OK, they say I need not worry. It’s sad she has distanced herself. She is part of 20 years of family memories. — Dismissed Stepdaughter Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Friends will most likely get on your nerves today, but not for the reasons you think.
