Wildrose Party message needs better delivery
SNOWFEST
PARTY MEMBERS AT AGM WANT LESS NEGATIVITY, MORE FOCUS ON CANDIDATES BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

Wildrose Party members say too much time has been spent attacking the ruling Alberta Progressive Conservative party instead of sending their own message. In the reverse bear-pit session at the Wildrose annual general meeting party faithful dug deep as they answered panel questions from the leadership about what’s working and not working. The Opposition members did not hold back when they expressed their dislike for the “Send the PCs a Message” slogan used during the campaign which many saw as too negative and advertising for the Tories. Some said it stopped voters from casting a ballot for the Tories but didn’t necessarily send them to the Wildrose. Rod Fox, Wildrose MLA for Lacombe-Ponoka, said they weren’t clear or efficient in getting the Wildrose message out to the public. Another delegate suggested the party did not prove that is was ready to fulfill the promises if elected. Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith said during a media conference that there are challenges in doing that as an official opposition.
Smith said before Peter Lougheed won in 1971, he created a detailed map for the changes that he would make and the different ministries when he formed government. “Maybe the lesson for me is that’s what we need to do,” said Smith addressing the media on Saturday afternoon. “We need to follow a lesson from Peter Lougheed in making sure we are clearly articulating exactly what our ministries would be and exactly who would be in those ministries... how we would restructure government. I think that it’s a good lesson. It’s not enough to just have the high level policies of what you want to do.” Smith said the members are asking them to dig down a little deeper and demonstrate how they would implement the policies that they are campaigning on. Smith said there are some committee working on this right now. Smith stressed the importance of recruiting 1,000 ambassadors armed with the information they need to give a convincing argument to why someone should vote Wildrose. Smith mentioned this in her keynote address on Friday evening. “A third of Albertans want Wildrose to form government,” said Smith.

Red Deer Public Library spreads digital knowledge BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A rise in questions about digital content sparked the first Digital Literacy Fair at the Red Deer Public Library downtown branch on Saturday. About 15 people attended the fair which boasted one-on-one help with all things digital including accessing databases, borrowing movies, audiobooks and eMagazines. Kim Whiting, a librarian assistant in adult services, said more and more people are coming in with questions about how to access materials through a tablet or other device. “Sometimes it’s just that first hand holding phase where you just want someone to walk you through it,” said Whiting. “Then you are more confident and you are fine with using it.” But many, Whiting said, are not even aware of what the library offers. Among the offerings are Hoopla, eMagazines, eBooks and eAudiobooks, Mango for language learning and Muzzy language for kids. Library users
only need a valid card to access the materials. “Some of these can be tricky to figure out and to sign up for and get the whole process started,” said Briana Ehnes, the library’s digital literacy coordinator. Ehnes provides one-on-one support for those who may need a helping hand. On Saturday most people came armed with troubleshooting questions. “Everybody has a device,” said Ehnes. “Delivering that kind of content to people is incredibly important.” Ehnes said that’s just the way people like to have access to materials today. “I think there will be an increased demand for that,” she said. “We’re seeing it already. The checkouts on overdrive are increasing every year. It is becoming more and more popular.” To find out more visit www.rdpl.org and click on Digital Content.

Lawyers to argue whether evidence at Bourque sentencing should be public MONCTON SHOOTINGS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS FREDERICTON — Lawyers will be in a New Brunswick courtroom Monday to argue whether exhibits entered as evidence at Justin Bourque’s sentencing should be made public, including a videotaped police interview where he admits to shooting three RCMP officers dead and wounding two others. Bourque was sentenced last month to life in prison with no eligibility for parole for 75 years after pleading guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder. The penalty is the harshest Canada has seen since the last state-sanctioned executions in 1962. A number of news media organizations including The Canadian Press have asked for access to the exhibits that were used at his sentencing hearing. Lawyers for Bourque and the Crown are opposing the request. David Coles, the lawyer representing the media, said the public has a right to see and hear the evidence. “It seems to me the Canadian people have a right to review the evidence upon which the chief justice made the decision that was appropriate,” Coles said. “We live in a society where unfortunately over the past several years a multiplicity of our peace officers have been gunned down and one has to ask, ’Are the protocols appropriate? Are their orders appropriate? Is their equipment sufficient?”’ Crown prosecutor Cameron Gunn declined comment in advance of Monday’s hearing. Bourque’s lawyer, David Lutz, did not return a request for comment. Coles said the evidence should also be made public because while it was presented in open court, not everyone could be there to hear it, and the information it conveys is of interest throughout Canada. “This case where you have this kind of ambush and premeditated gunning down of RCMP members is a public interest in Winnipeg, just like it’s a public interest ... in Moncton,” Coles said. “Is the evidence sought to be kept from the Canadian public of a nature that it warrants an extraordinary order to seal it from examination by people?” The exhibits include recordings of 911 calls, police radio transmissions from the five officers shot and an interview Bourque gave to police after his arrest June 6. During that interview that lasted about three hours, Bourque said he used a semi-automatic rifle that he legally obtained to shoot the five officers in Moncton’s north end. Bourque said he then fled into the woods near a suburban neighbourhood, where he was arrested 28 hours later. He rambled on at length about a number of issues including his Catholic upbringing, climate change, class warfare and his anger toward police, whom he described as “soldiers” of the state. Bourque killed constables Dave Ross, 32, Fabrice Gevaudan, 45, and Doug Larche, 40. Constables Eric Dubois and Darlene Goguen were also injured in the shootings, which brought the city to a standstill for nearly 30 hours before Bourque was arrested.

Man charged with impersonating soldier at Remembrance Day ceremony OTTAWA — Ottawa police say they have laid charges after an investigation into allegations that a man impersonated a soldier at the Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa. Police started investigating after questions were raised about the man after he was interviewed during CBC’s live coverage of events near the National War Memorial. In a release, police say 32-year-old Franck Gervais of Cantley, Que., has been charged with two offences of personating a public officer, unlawful use of a military uniform and unlawful use of military decorations. Police say Gervais was charged on Saturday and released on a recognizance. He has a court appearance scheduled for Dec. 9.

WILDROSE: Was affirmed in last byelections “I think that was affirmed in these last byelections. If you’re actually going to win government, we have to be able to move about seven or eight percentage points to get people to vote in enough of our members to be able to form government,” said Smith, in response to a validity of comment that she isn’t connecting with Albertans which is hurting the party. “To me a lot of that change is going to happen at the local riding level with excellent candidates doing the work in their ridings, talking to people in their community.” Smith said she would do whatever she can to support the candidates and the ambassadors doing the
important work. “I certainly cannot do it alone,” she said. “I have to rely on the help of a solid team of candidates and a solid team of volunteers.” “We were being held to account at the moment,” said Kerry Towle, the MLA for Innsifail-Sylvan Lake

after the bear-pit session. “We’re going through some hard discussions as a party. We’re hearing very clearly that they didn’t like the negative messaging in the campaign or the slogan.” Central Alberta member Lee Eddy told the party that there needs to be more focus on the candidates because people may not vote for the Wildrose but they would vote for Kerry Towle. A few members pointed out that the party is getting moving away from its grassroots. “There are some serious issues that we’re not dealing with enough and we’re getting sorta bogged down in the weeds,” said Towle. “I trust what our membership says and I think this is what Albertans said during the election.” Towle said there is some work to do and the party is up for the challenges ahead.

OTTAWA — Former leadership contender David Bertschi has been told he won’t be allowed to seek the Liberal nomination in Ottawa-Orleans. That clears the way for retired general Andrew Leslie, one of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s star recruits, to carry the party banner in the riding during next year’s election. Bertschi, who ran for the Liberals in Orleans in the 2011 election, has emailed supporters informing them that his candidacy has been blocked and encouraging them to protest the decision. He says he was given a number of reasons, which he doesn’t specify, but insists none of them are true. Bertschi had been warned, along with other failed leadership contenders, that he would not be allowed to seek a nomination unless he could demonstrate significant progress reducing his leadership campaign debts. Bertschi, who calls the decision an example of “backroom, strong-arm politics,” has started an online petition calling on the party to reinstate an open nomination process in Orleans.

Legislature resumes amid low oil prices continental prices.� Prentice has left himself little wiggle room on the revenue side. He has previously promised to not hike taxes, add taxes, tinker with the 10 per cent flat tax on income, or boost oil royalties. When asked if he still stands by those promises, Prentice would only say “We’ll deal with these issues when we announce the quarterly results (at the end of November).� Opposition Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith said Prentice is showing himself to be Redford redux. “He has given every indication that he’s going to keep on spending even though we’re facing $80 (or lower) oil,� said Smith. Smith said the Tory plan to go into debt only for infrastructure is fundamentally flawed. “We’re not going to ever be able to be at a point where we’re done building infrastructure and say ’Phew, we’re done now we can start paying the money back,�’ said Smith. “If we’re going to continue to keep up with (population) growth we have to figure out a way to do this within the resources and revenues that we have right now.� Prentice said low oil also means decisions on the spending side, adding: “To be sure this is a time for discipline and caution in terms of our expenses.� He has not been more specific, but political pollster and analyst Janet Brown said trotting out a bitumen bogeyman once again to justify wielding the budget axe is questionable strategy. “I don’t know that Albertans are going to be all that sympathetic,� said Brown. “They weren’t sympathetic to Redford when she talked about the bitumen bubble. I think Albertans are going to say, ’Look, oil prices go up and down. We all know this.’ “We manage our lives according to the vagaries of the energy industry. Why does it always take our government by surprise?� NDP Leader Rachel Notley agreed Prentice is pursuing a “bitumen bubble 2.0� strategy, and said promises made by his party in 2012 on investment to education and to social programs are now at risk.
EDMONTON — Alberta’s provincial politicians begin their fall session this week with a reset legislative agenda and a new premier madly crunching numbers under the Damoclean sword of plunging oil prices. Opposition critics, meanwhile, say low oil means Albertans better brace for an encore of the bitumen bogeyman and opening night of the great Prentice promise pullback. The session begins Monday with a speech from the throne to outline the priorities and goals of Premier Jim Prentice’s Progressive Conservative government. Prentice, who took over from former premier Alison Redford in September, has promised to introduce in the session new legislation to improve government accountability and affirm the sanctity of property rights. But the pivotal event is expected to occur at the end of the month, when Finance Minister Robin Campbell delivers the latest budget update. At that time, Prentice said in an interview, the government will make clear its economic future. The falling price of West Texas Intermediate oil — representing the linchpin of Alberta’s economy — changes everything, he said. “Seventy-five-dollar-per-barrel oil does not represent business as usual in Alberta, and I think that’s clear to every single family and business person in our province,� said Prentice. “There are significant consequences if we continue in a low price environment for a protracted period.� The province budgeted for oil at US$95.22. The price currently sits under $76 a barrel. Every $1 drop in the price per barrel over the course of the year could cost the treasury an estimated $215 million. The province has $5 billion in its contingency fund and Prentice expects this year’s budget to be balanced. After that, it’s unclear. It’s been a gradual change of messaging for Prentice. While campaigning for the Tory leadership, he promised to return Alberta’s finances to a sound footing, cap the infrastructure debt and accelerate its paydown. After winning power in early September, he has been silent on the specifics of how he will do CENTRAL ALBERTA that except to caution SEXUAL ASSAULT SUPPORT CENTRE “prudence� and, in the last week, warn of “conThe Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support sequences.� At the same Centre is looking for enthusiastic and caring time, he has promised to people to volunteer.

Is it really one or other? BELIEVING OUR ONLY CHOICE IS BETWEEN A STRONG ECONOMY AND A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT IS ABSURD It’s become a cliché to say that out of crisis comes opportunity. But there’s no denying that when faced with crises, we have choices. The opportunity depends on what we decide to do. What choices will we make when confronted with the fact that 2014 will likely be the hottest year on record? According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, global land and sea DAVID temperatures up SUZUKI to September’s end tie this year with 1998 as the warmest since record keeping began in 1880. “If 2014 maintains this temperature departure from average for the remainder of the year, it will be the warmest year on record,” a NOAA statement says. The world’s warmest 10 years have all been since 1998, and last year carbon dioxide levels rose by the highest amount in 30 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment
SCIENCE
Synthesis Report, released Nov. 2, summarizes three reports released over the past year on the physical science; impacts, adaptation and vulnerability; and mitigation. It offers a stark choice: Unless we quickly curtail our fossil fuel dependence, we face “further warming and long-lasting changes in all components of the climate system, increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems.” As a broadcaster, I’ve interviewed hundreds of scientists over the years, but I’ve never heard so many speak so forcefully and urgently as climatologists today. It’s a measure of the seriousness of the crisis. What choices will we make? Will politicians close their eyes while fossil fuel industry executives shovel money at them and enlist propagandists to spread misinformation and lies? Will we listen to those who, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, continue to say the global warming they once claimed never existed stopped 18 years ago, or that human activity doesn’t contribute to climate change? Or will we heed scientists from around the world who offer evidence that we still have time to do something about this very real crisis — and that confronting the challenge presents more opportunities than pitfalls?
Believing our only choice is between a strong economy and a healthy environment is absurd. Yet that’s the false option many political leaders and fossil fuel industry proponents present. Never mind the insanity of thinking we can survive and be healthy if we destroy the natural systems on which we depend; research shows taking measured steps to address global warming would have few negative economic effects and would offer numerous benefits. Failing to act would be disastrous for the economy and environment. Energy conservation and clean fuels offer the greatest opportunities. Conserving energy makes precious, non-renewable resources last longer, reduces pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, saves consumers money and offers many economic benefits. More than 100,000 Canadians are directly employed in improving energy efficiency, with total wages estimated at $8.27 billion for 2014. The fast-growing clean-energy and clean-technology sectors offer similar benefits. Improved performance and cost reductions make large-scale deployment for many clean-energy technologies increasingly feasible. By focusing on fossil fuels, Canada is clearly missing out. Worldwide spending on clean energy last year was $207 billion. Canada spent $6.5 billion — a start, but
we could do much better. Germany, the world’s fourth largest economy, now gets a third of its energy from renewable sources, and has reduced carbon emissions 23 per cent from 1990 levels and created 370,000 jobs. In contrast, Canada subsidizes the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $1.3 billion a year, despite a 2009 G20 agreement to phase out subsidies. The federal Environment and Sustainable Development Commissioner’s recent audit found Canada has no detailed plan to shrink carbon pollution and meet its international commitment, and has failed to release or enforce oil and gas sector emission regulations for our fastest-growing source of emissions, the oil sands, promised since 2006. Expanding oil sands and liquefied natural gas development will only make matters worse. People around the world want leadership from elected representatives on climate change and pollution. Business leaders are getting on board. Will we take advantage of the numerous benefits of energy conservation and clean energy or remain stuck in the old way of just blindly burning our way through? The choice is clear. Scientist, author and broadcaster David Suzuki wrote this column with Ian Hanington. Learn more at www.davidsuzuki.org.

The farce of a ‘town’ called Jumbo BY GERRY TAFT SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE When most of us think of a small town, we think of friendly neighbours and quiet streets — the type of place where you know almost everyone. I’m privileged to be elected as mayor of Invermere, B.C., which is pretty close to being a perfect small town. However, about 55 km from Invermere, down rough old logging and mining roads, lies another kind of “small town.” The “small town” of Jumbo, also known as the Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality, is not home to friendly neighbours or quiet streets. In fact, it is completely empty — a wilderness with no residents and no buildings. On Saturday, when every other town in B.C. voted for new municipal leaders, there was no voting in Jumbo. How did it come to this? Glacier Resorts Ltd. has wanted to build a 6,300bed ski resort on Crown land for 24 years. While the proponents envision a village of condos, shops and hotels and more than 20 ski lifts, many locals like myself oppose a new dense urban development in an

area already awash with ski resorts operating below capacity. (A 2008 random survey by McAllister Opinion Research found 63 per cent of Kootenay residents oppose the resort, with 19 per cent in favour and 18 per cent undecided.) Faced with strong local opposition, the province has tried to fit a round peg into a square hole. Instead of admitting it won’t fit, the province has changed the hole until that peg fits. The only reason there is a “municipality” here in the mountain wilderness is because in 2012, the provincial government amended the Local Government Act to allow the creation of a municipality without residents. Next, the province appointed a mayor and two councillors. And then a provincial orderin-council mandated that the council adhere to the terms of Jumbo Glacier Resort’s Master Plan — not to citizens. This series of events ruffled many feathers, but what came next was even worse. Jumbo received a $260,000 provincial grant and $50,000 in federal gas tax money. Why would a “town” with no residents and no services require taxpayer dollars? Well, there are bridges to build and infrastructure to construct before real estate can be sold. Given the Jumbo Glacier Resort is a private development, you’d think the infrastructure would be fully funded by the developer — but not in the case of Jumbo. Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality has asked for $200,000 a year from the province for the next five years. In its five-year financial plan, the

municipality is predicting $0 in tax revenue, $0 in funding from the developer and 100 per cent of funding to come from government grants. At the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, my motion to oppose provincial funding for towns without residents was adopted unanimously by local politicians from all over our province. Aside from grasping for taxpayer dollars, the reason Jumbo municipality exists is to circumnavigate a key condition of the resort’s environmental assessment certificate, which dictates that final land use decisions be made by local government. Of course, the intent was for elected, accountable local government to make the decisions, not a puppet appointed council. Residents of the Columbia Valley want to map their region’s own future. The environmental assessment was focused solely on mitigating environmental impacts. The question of whether we want a dense urban development and private real estate speculation in the mountain wilderness has never been posed to our community. The big question now is when the province of B.C. will call an end to the farce of the “town” called Jumbo. The cost of failing to act is at least $1.3 million in taxpayer funding, the selloff of Crown land at bargain basement prices and, most of all, the complete disregard for the basic concept of what democracies are ... and what small towns should be.

BRIEFS
Triple shooting at Toronto restaurant leaves one dead, two wounded TORONTO — Toronto police are searching for two suspects after a brazen shooting at a packed downtown restaurant killed one man and sent two women to hospital. Det.-Sgt. Gary Giroux says the group was eating at the Garden Restaurant (on Dundas West and Chestnut streets) around 4 a.m. Sunday when they got into a dispute with the suspects. He says two of the suspects then pulled out guns, with one then opening fire with a semi-automatic pistol. Thirty-one-year-old Tariq Mohammed, of Mississauga, Ont., was shot in the head at close range and pronounced dead at the scene, while the two women — both in their 20s — were hit in the chest and abdomen and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Giroux says the restaurant was nearly full at the time of the shooting, and that around two dozen witnesses are being interviewed. The shooter is described as a black man aged 20 to 30, five-foot-10 to five-11 with dark complexion, who police say appears “lanky” and was wearing a black hoodie and black tuque. The second suspect is black, aged 20 to 30, with dark complexion and shorter than the shooter, has a stocky build, hair “in cornrows to the neck, eyes popping out or bulging” and was wearing a dark hoodie with unknown writing or logo on front. “There’s a single shooter, by all accounts,” Giroux said. He said it’s believed the three victims were at a nightclub earlier in the evening but that isn’t believed to be connected to the shooting.
Six Cdn Navy members on shore in Turkey fight fire, evacuate burning building ANTALYA, Turkey — The federal government says six Royal Canadian Navy members sprang into action to battle a fire while dining on shore in Turkey, dousing flames and evacuating a burning building. National Defence says the crew members of HMCS Toronto were eating at a restaurant during a port visit in Antalya on Friday when they spotted the blaze. Acting quickly, the group — bolstered by two Air Force members — grabbed a fire house, rigged it in the street outside the burning structure
and sprayed it with water, snuffing out the fire. The military says they also evacuated the building before local fire and police arrived on the scene. It says HMCS Toronto was in Antalya for a short port visit after participating in a Turkish-led anti-submarine warfare exercise in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. That exercise was part of NATOsupporting military activities taken in response to Russia’s aggressive actions against Ukraine.
Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson wins re-election for third term VANCOUVER — Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson won re-election Saturday, soundly defeating his main opponent despite indications late in the campaign that the mayor’s bid for a third term was in trouble. Robertson, co-founder of the Happy Planet juice company and a former NDP member of B.C.’s legislature, was first elected in 2008 and will now serve a third term. Outside of Vancouver, he is perhaps best known as the city’s public face during the 2010 Winter Olympics. The mayor and his Vision Vancouver party entered the campaign as the clear front-runners against Kirk LaPointe of the Non-Partisan Association, a newcomer to politics who was relatively unknown outside his colleagues in the news media. But polls suggested Robertson’s lead had waned in the final weeks of the campaign, which became increasingly ugly as LaPointe accused the mayor of corruption and Robertson, in turn, filed a defamation lawsuit. On election night, however, Robertson took the lead in early returns and that gap only widened as the evening progressed. He was elected with 46 per cent of ballots cast, compared with 40 per cent for LaPointe. Robertson’s Vision Vancouver also won a majority on city council. No single policy issue dominated the campaign, which instead focused on the perception that Robertson ignored the concerns of residents as he expanded bike lanes, added to the city’s supply of social housing and homeless shelters, and green-lit new property developments. Robertson responded to those complaints during a mayoral debate this past Wednesday, offering a surprising
Thousands march in support of Radio-Canada with more job cuts looming MONTREAL — Supporters of CBC’s French-language service Radio-Canada have a message for the federal government: no more cuts. Thousands marched through downtown Montreal on Sunday as part of a series of protests across Quebec as well as in Moncton, N.B. Nicolas Bedard, who organized the Montreal event, said Quebecers value Radio-Canada and want to ensure it gets adequate funding. Bedard said that the public broadcaster is a vital component for a healthy democracy. Radio-Canada employees, union members, and local politicians were among those who took part in the Montreal demonstration. CBC/Radio-Canada announced in June it would slash 1,000 to 1,500 jobs over the next five years. That came in addition to another 657 job cuts announced in April to meet a budget shortfall caused by falling advertising revenues and federal budget reductions. Lisa Djevahirdjian, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Union of Public Employees and promoter of an “I love Radio-Canada” campaign, said support for the movement is growing. The campaign calls for increased funding, greater stability, and more independence from the federal government. In a statement, CBC President Hubert Lacroix said Sunday’s rallies were further evidence of the important connection between the public broadcaster and the public. But Lacroix himself has been the target of protest. On Wednesday, Radio-Canada staff in Sherbrooke, Que., refused an award presented to them by Lacroix due to the ongoing job losses.

and unprompted apology to voters for falling short of their expectations. He also made a last-minute pitch for strategic voting, urging supports of a left-leaning third-place party, the Coalition of Progressive Electors, to vote for him to keep LaPointe out of office. The mayor echoed his apology during his victory speech. “I’ve heard from lots of Vancouverites about their strong belief and love for our city, our shared values,” Robertson told a room full of supporters in downtown Vancouver. “I’ve also heard loud and clear that there are things that we could do better and we will.” After a campaign that focused in part on discontent with Robertson’s environmental and social policies, he made it clear Saturday night that he planned to continue on the same path. “There are some very urgent issues we face,” said Robertson, singling out climate change, homelessness and public transit. “There is a lot more to do and we’re really looking forward to working together as one big team in Vancouver to accomplish these great goals.” In a concession speech to supporters in a nearby hotel, LaPointe acknowledged the especially heated campaign. “So the campaign has not always brought out the best in us, but it did deliver a clarity of choice,” said LaPointe. LaPointe cast Robertson as a leftwing ideologue who repeatedly ignored residents’ concerns, particularly when it came to bike lanes and development. He also criticized the mayor for opposing the proposed expansion of a Kinder Morgan oil pipeline before a federal review is complete, and he accused Vision Vancouver school trustees of putting politics above students when they rejected classroom funding from Chevron.

BY ADVOCATE STAFF The First Annual Friends of Rotary Recreation Park Open House took on a festive spin just in time for the holiday season. An abundance of Christmas show and sales were hosted throughout Rotary Park downtown on Saturday, with the most sought after being the Norwegian Laft Hus’ Bake Sale. Red Deerians lined up to browse through tables of lace cookies, rosettes and other Norwegian baked goods, with several items selling out before noon. Straw ornaments depicting angels and reindeer were also available for purchase during the twoday sale. Those looking for more artistic gifts for friends and family headed into the Recreation Centre’s lobby where both the Red Deer Art Club and Red Deer Pottery Club hosted Jean’s Christmas Show and Sale. Paintings, cards, bookmarks, one-of-a-kind
bowls and decorations were among the items shoppers could buy. The sale was the second of the year, with the last one held in the Spring. The Golden Circle also hosted a sale of their own, featuring gifts for all ages. Handcrafted ornaments, knitted mittens, scarves, and toques were some of the more holidaythemed items for sale. Birdhouses, stained glass decorations, jewellery, books and dolls could also be found. In addition to the sales, the Red Deer Tennis Club hosted free demonstrations for the public from noon until 3 p.m. and the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery held its weekly MAG Saturdays where families could take part in creating Deco Style stained glass out of construction paper. Other Christmas shows in the city included the Red Deer Christmas Show in the Stockmens Pavilion at the Westerner Grounds which ran Friday and Saturday.

Obscure Nebraska panel could hold sway BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LINCOLN, Neb. — Congress is suddenly scrambling to vote on the Keystone XL oil pipeline, but the fate of the oft-delayed $5.4 billion project could still wind up in the hands of an obscure commission in Nebraska that regulates telephones, taxi cabs and grain bins. The Nebraska Supreme Court is expected to rule within weeks on whether the Nebraska Public Service Commission must review the pipeline before it can cross the state, one of six on the pipeline’s route. Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman gave the green light in January 2013 without the panel’s involvement. The commission’s possible role is part of the tangled legal and political history of the pipeline and raises questions about whether it will continue to be snagged even if the Senate votes to approve it next week as expected. The House voted 252-161 Friday to move forward with the project. President Barack Obama, who has delayed a decision pending the resolution of the Nebraska issue, has not said whether he would sign the legislation. The proposed crude-oil pipeline, which would run 1,179 miles from the Canadian tar sands to Gulf coast refineries, has been the subject of a fierce struggle between environmentalists and energy advocates ever since Cal-
KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE gary-based TransCanada proposed it in 2008. “I don’t know if they think they can just override Nebraska,” said Randy Thompson, one of three landowners who filed suit to challenge the state’s approval process. “If we win our case, I assume TransCanada is going to have to go back to the drawing board.” A district court in February ruled that a law that gave Heineman the authority to approve the project ran afoul of Nebraska’s constitution. While there’s no way to tell how the Nebraska Supreme Court will rule on the issue, the justices tend to defer to the lower courts’ decisions, said Anthony Schutz, a University of Nebraska associate law professor. “The separation of powers argument is a pretty powerful argument,” Schutz said. “We’ve spent a lot of time since the early 1900s finding ways to distribute executive power, and the governor is left with a fairly limited realm of authority.” The high court has two justices appointed by Heineman, a Republican, and five by former Democratic Gov. Ben Nelson. Project supporters say the pipeline should now be ready to go forward even if TransCanada has to seek the
state’s approval once again. “We believe the federal government has taken entirely too long to make a decision. I don’t see any issue with the Senate voting on it and the president approving it” before the Nebraska issue is resolved, said Ron Kaminski, business manager for the Labors’ Local No. 1140, an Omaha-based union that supports the project. Nebraska officials became supportive of the pipeline after TransCanada agreed to change the route to avoid the ecologically sensitive Sandhills region in the remote northern part of the state. In 2012, the Republican-controlled Legislature passed a law allowing Heineman to give the go-ahead. But opponents have charged that the state constitution gives that power to the Nebraska Public Service Commission. The elected commission regulates “common carriers” that are used to transport goods, energy and people. The panel includes four Republicans and one Democrat. The commission generally takes about seven months to approve or deny an application, said Dave Domina, an attorney for the landowners. The Nebraska attorney general’s office has argued that the 2012 law was constitutional.
The resistance to the pipeline remains strongest in Nebraska on the pipeline’s route. Governments of the other states have been supportive, citing the construction jobs it would create. A majority of Nebraska residents now support the pipeline, according to independent surveys, but pipeline opponents say 115 of 515 Nebraska landowners along the proposed route have refused to sign agreements with the company. Even if the project wins final approval, property owners want assurance that money will be set aside for land restoration in the event of any leaks, said Jane Kleeb, executive director of Bold Nebraska, a leading opposition group. Kleeb said she’s still hopeful Obama will veto legislation that approves the Keystone XL. “I have no option but to be optimistic,” Kleeb said. “These farmers are the reason I do this every day.” Dan Frost, a Denver attorney who specializes in pipelines and infrastructure projects, said regulatory agencies like Nebraska’s Public Service Commission would subject a project to a more thorough review than a governor would. “Generally speaking, they’re less politically charged and more technical in nature,” Frost said. “...I think they’re more inclined to look at the project’s technical merits.”
Landmark wind farm appeal begins today BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON, Ont. — Groups opposed to industrial-size wind farms are looking to intervene in a landmark appeal that begins Monday against one of Ontario’s largest wind-energy projects. The constitutional challenge before Divisional Court focuses on claims by farm families concerned about the potential health effects of living as close as 500 metres to the turbines. Their lawyer, Julian Falconer, argues the law is rigged when it comes to official consideration of any harmful effects the turbines might pose. “In wind, the fact that it may hurt you is not enough — you have to actually prove it will hurt you,” Falconer said in an interview. “This is not how we manage health.” At issue is the proposed $850-million K2 Wind project, which would see 140 turbines put up near Goderich. The provincial Environment Ministry has approved K2 as well as the smaller 15-turbine St. Columban project near Seaforth, Ont. Both K2 Wind Ontario and St. Columban Energy argue their projects are safe. They say they obtained the required permits following an extensive approval process that included two years of planning and environmental studies. In upholding the ministry approvals, the Environmental Review Tribunal decided it had no conclusive proof that turbines pose a health hazard to those living near them. In all, four families are taking part in the fight against K2, St. Columban, and the 92-turbine Armow wind farm near Kincardine, Ont. It is the first constitutional challenge to Ontario’s Green Energy Act to reach the appellate court level. The families, who failed last month to force an immediate halt to construction of the wind farms pending outcome of their appeal, argue the impacts have not been properly studied and the legislation makes it all but impossible to raise health concerns. Hoping to join the fight are 14 community groups from various parts of the province calling themselves the Coalition Against Industrial Wind Turbines. The coalition wants to argue, among other things, that an issue of funda-

Several families are legally challenging construction of wind farms in parts of Ontario. mental justice is at stake. “A statute designed to protect health cannot be illusory,” the group states in its factum. Late last month, a judge ruled that it should be up to the Divisional Court panel hearing the appeal on Monday to decide whether to allow the coalition intervention. Project proponents want the court to stop the coalition, saying the court
process is already too far along and the intervention would cause “undue disruption.” Earlier this month, Health Canada reported that its study of 1,200 residents in Ontario and P.E.I. turned up no sign of health problems caused by wind-turbine noise. The noise might be annoying but had no link to sleep disturbances, dizziness, tinnitus, migraines, increased
blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes, the agency said. Critics, however, argued Health Canada had not released details of what they called a poorly designed study and said it had yet to undergo any peer review. An unrelated court battle involving a nine-turbine wind farm development south of Picton, Ont., is set to go before the province’s top court in December.
Creating a stable small business income Most businesses have busy times and slow times. Cyclicality is a part of any business, but perhaps is more pronounced for small businesses. One of the greatest challenges for the owners and operators of the almost 1.1 million small businesses in Canada (a small business is defined as TALBOT having between BOGGS one and 99 paid employees and having annual sales revenues of at least $30,000) is to generate an even cash flow and income. There are a few strategies small businesses can adopt to try and smooth out those financial ups and downs and create a more stable cash flow and income.
MONEYWISE
“One is to put money away into a pool when business and work is going well so you have something to draw on to see you through the periods when things are down,” suggests Aurele Courcelles, director of tax and estate planning with Investors Group. That might, on the surface, seem to be a bit of a no-brainer, but it can be more difficult to achieve than it sounds. Many small businesses, for example, are so busy just trying to make ends meet and survive they may not have the time, resources or experience to sit down and work out the cyclicality of the business and how they can build that pool of money. “At the beginning when they are just trying to get the business going most people don’t think of that, but as the business matures they will probably realize it and should address it sooner rather than later,” said Courcelles. “How big a pool you build and maintain will depend a lot on how long those cyclical periods last.” Another strategy is to diversify into other activities so that if one area of the business is down another might be
up to offset it. “Diversify your sales and products to try and smooth out the bad periods,” Courcelles advises. “Look at other opportunities which either are not cyclical or are counter cyclical to your other operations.” Many small businesses, as they grow over time, will have to make decisions whether to reinvest in the business to expand and generate more sales and profits or to take more out of the business and put it aside. “It’s often a very fine line whether you reinvest to grow or put the money aside to grow your pool of capital,” said Courcelles. “You may want to reinvest to grow the business but then you may need more cash to pay salaries and other things. It’s important to know what your variable and fixed costs are going to be.” Some business and industry sectors are more cyclical than others. “Retail, accommodation, manufacturing and construction all can be quite cyclical and dependent on the economy and many other economic and other factors,” said Courcelles.
“Food service may not be as cyclical but there’s a lot of competition out there and the survival rate is fairly low. Most food service businesses just try to survive.” Once you have a pool of money set aside, you may be able to look at other options and strategies such as paying dividends or a salary, benefit plans and insurance and build those expenses into your budget. “Depending on the type of business you’re in, business interruption insurance is probably a good thing to have so that if anything happens and you have to shut down the business you will be compensated, as well as property insurance to cover anything that might happen to buildings and/or property,” said Courcelles. “Once you’ve got that pool built up you have a lot more options about how you pay yourself and others and what you can do with the business.” Talbot Boggs is a Toronto-based business communications professional who has worked with national news organizations, magazines and corporations in the finance, retail, manufacturing and other industrial sectors.

LAKELAND, Fla. — From nine to five, seven days a week, Robert Schill plays video games while sitting on a plush, brown sofa in central Florida. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people watch. His web channel has more than 35 million hits in one year. And Schill gets paid for it. He’s a shift worker, a labourer in a brave and strange new economy that rewards a Big Brother-like existence combined with entrepreneurial pluck. Schill’s not alone in this venture, not even in his own home. When the 26-year-old ginger-haired Schill finishes his shift, he unplugs his game controller and his roommate, 29-year-old Adam Young, sinks into the sofa and plays until 1 a.m. Then a third roommate, Brett Borden, 26, clocks in for his eight-hour shift. They are the stars of StreamerHouse. They broadcast via Twitch.tv, an online network that attracts tens of millions of visitors, most of whom watch footage of other people playing video games. StreamerHouse is set in a 1920s-era Mediterranean-revival home graced with 20 cameras, at least 15 computer screens and two bulldogs (Mister Pig and Baby Pig). It’s part reality TV, part talk radio and part performance art. The trio play games, chat with fans and narrate their daily lives into an expensive microphone setup. They make money from a cut of Twitch advertising, subscriptions, video game sales and from fan donations. In October, one admirer from the Middle East gave StreamerHouse $6,000. StreamerHouse capitalizes on a cultural moment that demands engagement and intimacy with everyone from celebrities tweeting pictures of their newborns to friends and family posting Facebook photos of breakfast. The StreamerHouse guys deliver with an intimate, non-stop show where they interact with fans in real time. There’s something genius about this. “I live on the internet, man,” joked Schill, known as “The Real Deal,” and “Rober” online. His fans recently sent him a guitar and a memory foam mattress. Fans routinely send pizzas, candy and t-shirts. All three “streamers” admit their career prospects would be bleak outside the house. None have college degrees and all have been gaming since they were boys. Twitch has more than 7,000 similar streamers
in its affiliate program — which means the game players receive ad revenue and can solicit donations — although StreamerHouse’s 24/7 broadcast is unique. There’s an appetite to watch gamers. YouTube’s most subscribed channel belongs to Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, a Swede known online as PewDiePie. He is a video game commentator, much like the StreamerHouse guys, and has over 32 million subscribers. “It has become a very substantial piece of the entertainment landscape,” said Matthew Di Pietro, vice-president of marketing at Twitch. “We’ve seen it explode.” And before you dismiss the appeal of watching a guy on a sofa shoot virtual zombies, consider this: people have been watching other people do stuff for millennia. Roman gladiators. Horse races. The Super Bowl. “There’s something enjoyable about watching someone overcome a challenge,” said Austin Walker, a doctoral student at the University of Western Ontario who is studying the intersection between work and play. “Gaming content production” — essentially, playing video games — is now a viable career. “That’s the dream we all have at 12 years old,” said Walker. “It’s a lot of hard work. A lot of preparation, behind the scenes, community issues. “At a certain point, once it becomes something that can pay you, it also becomes a responsibility.” Top streamers can make six figures a year, said Di Pietro, while many earn only a few dollars a month.

TORONTO — Energy will be the primary focus on the Toronto stock market this week as investors focus on the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline project and whether oil prices can stay above four-year lows. The U.S. House of Representatives approved the project in a vote on Friday afternoon. A vote in the U.S. Senate is scheduled for Tuesday and it’s widely expected the chamber will also give the OK. That’s when the uncertainty starts since there is speculation that President Barack Obama might use his executive powers to veto the measure. The Senate would need to muster a two-thirds majority to override such a veto and it’s not clear there are enough Yea votes to do so. “It’s very difficult to gauge Obama’s response because he has a lot of commitments to the green wing of the party,” said Bob Gorman, chief portfolio strategist at TD Waterhouse. But Gorman said if he had to guess, he’d say Obama won’t use his veto power. “They typically have horse trading involved so I would suspect that, to avoid seeming to go back on his commitment to bipartisanship, he would say, ’Look, I’ll give you this but (there will be a series of environmental) riders attached to it,” Gorman said. Expectations had been high all along that Congress would vote on TransCanada Corp.’s (TSX:TRP) muchdelayed $8-billion project. But feelings were that it wouldn’t take place until 2015 when the new Congress was sworn in after the Republicans won control of the Senate in the November mid-term elections. But things came to a head last week amid a run-off in the Louisiana Senate race between Republican contender Bill Cassidy and Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu. Both are both Keystone supporters and last Wednesday, following a request by Landrieu, the Senate scheduled a vote on Keystone for Nov. 18.
Gorman agreed that approval of the project would be a boost for the TSX energy sector as a whole “because it provides an outlet for the rising production and that’s beneficial.” But he also points out that the project has shown the necessity for diversifying Canada’s oil market. “If anything, this has shown them you don‘t want to have all your eggs in one basket,” he said. “If Keystone is done on its own, without anything else, they‘re essentially doubling down on the U.S. market (and that’s) one of the reasons that they — Alberta producers and Canada as a whole — would be wise to make this eastern link project (Energy East) happen.” He was referring to a plan by pipeline company Enbridge (TSX:ENB) to deliver oil from Western Canada and North Dakota’s Bakken oilfields to Eastern refinery operations. The Toronto market ended the week up 152 points or one per cent, led by gains in financial and materials stocks, leaving the Toronto market up nine per cent for the year so far. The Dow industrials inched up 61 points or 0.35 per cent. The energy sector finished the week with a gain of about one per cent but has given up huge gains from the summer when oil peaked at around US$105 a barrel. It’s now negative for the year after oil prices fell below US$75 a barrel last week before rebounding on Friday to just below $76. Geopolitical worries have receded since the middle of the summer and have been replaced by concerns about rising supplies, especially from North America, and demand questions arising from a weak global economy.

(Connolly did a mid-song rant about society’s downslide in the latter, the title track from the group’s new album.) There was a refreshing truthfulness to the simmering tension and underlying anger in these tunes. They somehow suited the band’s uncomplicated temperament more than the love/ break-up songs did. While the four musicians, including led guitarist Dave Brenner, bassist Dean Back and drummer Joey Dandeneau, usually stood their ground on stage and did little interacting, they were impressive players. Brenner particularly showed his fancy finger work on acoustic versions of the pretty song, Angel, as well as No Surprise. While sitting on a stool downstage, he made his guitar sound sitar-like on the latter — very cool. The song Better Off got one of the night’s biggest reactions.

Head of the Herd, from Vancouver, is actually a blues band in rock clothing. (Well, actually the musicians’ clothes were retro — white shirts, black ties and suspenders. . . ) There’s a sultry, sexual vibe to the group’s music, particularly on When I Met the Devil, You’ve Got Me Now, and Don’t Think You Will, featuring a duet by Willacy and Mannas. Best known for the single By This Time Tomorrow, the band is made up of vocalist Neu Mannas, guitarist Clayton Frank, keyboardist Brittany Willacy, bassist Kevin Webster and drummer Matty Carolei.

While musicians Evan Meisner, David Casey, Shaun Hanlon and Jeremy MacPherson, could stand to occasionally dial down their tempo a bit, their group could prove to be one to watch.

Cosby spokesman David Brokaw confirmed Friday night that Cosby would not appear next Wednesday as previously scheduled. He did not say why. Late Show representative Kimberly Izzo-Emmet said, “We can’t comment on the guest booking process.” She said Regis Philbin would be the replacement guest. Another cancelled booking, on The Queen Latifah Show on Oct. 30, was characterized by that show as a postponement granted at Cosby’s request. Barbara Bowman, one of Cosby’s accusers, has recently levelled allegations of sexual assault by the comic in interviews and in a Washington Post
online column, writing that “Cosby won my trust as a 17-year-old aspiring actress in 1985, brainwashed me into viewing him as a father figure, and then assaulted me multiple times.” The standup comedian Hannibal Buress last month brought heat on Cosby at a performance in Philadelphia. His routine, during which he assailed Cosby as “a rapist,” was captured on video and posted online, gaining wide exposure. The 77-year-old Cosby, who was never criminally charged in any of the cases, settled a civil suit in 2006 with another woman over an alleged incident two years before.

Tough road ahead for Rebels after win BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Rebels 5 Blades 2 The Red Deer Rebels took care of business during the weekend. With all apologies to BachmanTurner Overdrive, the Rebels will be workin’ overtime over the next two weeks and change with a steady diet of the Medicine Hat Tigers and Calgary Hitmen — with a small dose of Swift Current Broncos — filling their slate. The Rebels have both the Tigers and Hitmen on their schedule three times, with the run starting Tuesday and Friday with a home-and-home with the Tigers. Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter is confident his crew, which downed the visiting Saskatoon Blades 5-2 Saturday at the Centrium, will be up to the challenge which starts with a road game versus the Tigers. “We just have to continue playing at the level we’re playing,” Sutter said Sunday, in reference to his squad that is 7-1-1-1 in the last 10 outings. “Last night I thought we were really good outside of about seven minutes when we had some turnovers in our zone and got off our game a bit. Other than that, I thought we were very good.” Coming off Friday’s 4-1 win over the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes in which the Rebels did all of their damage in the third period, the hosts got an early goal from Grayson Pawlenchuk Saturday. Blades captain Brett Stovin pulled his team into a 1-1 tie late in the opening period, but that was pretty much the only time the visitors threatened
until late in the game when Red Deer was nailed with four of five third-period penalties. Evan Polei gave the Rebels a permanent lead at 2:56 of the middle stanza, tipping Haydn Fleury’s power-play point shot past Blades netminder Alex Moodie, and Brooks Maxwell scored a similar goal just over 10 minutes later. Presten Kopeck notched a shorthanded marker at 7:51 of the third period — scoring on a wrap-around when Moodie could not regain his position in time when being caught behind the net — before Cam Hebig answered for the visitors with a power-play tally at 15:23. Kopeck then put the game out of reach with an empty-net goal at 19:10. Kopeck, Maxwell and Fleury were the men of the hour Saturday, similar to the role Pawlenchuk and linemates Conner Bleackley and Tyler Sandhu played the night before. “We moved Johny (Wyatt Johnson) up with Maxie and Kopes and that gave that line more speed,” said Sutter. “They did a good job of managing the puck down low and using their speed off cycles. “We need our older players to be guys who are really responsible and accountable and we’ve been getting that from them for the most part all season. Haydn played really well last night. His game is really starting to come now.” Rylan Toth was sharp in the Rebels net, turning aside 28 shots. Moodie made 31 saves at the other end. And now comes a severe stretch in Red Deer’s schedule, a span that Sutter feels can be a season-maker. “We just have to stay the course, play the way we’re capable of playing

and we have to take it one game at a time. There are going to be times when there are momentum changes in these games, it just comes down to handling it the right way and making sure we have everyone playing up to their level.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com
No repeat for Riders JOSEPH PICKED OFF FIVE TIMES IN LOSS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly looks for the pass against the Saskatchewan Roughriders during second half CFL West semifinal action in Edmonton, on Sunday.
Edmonton 18 Saskatchewan 10 EDMONTON—When the Edmonton offence couldn’t get it going, the defence more than made up for it on Sunday. The Eskimos defence recorded five interceptions and Kendial Lawrence had an 84-yard punt return touchdown on special teams as Edmonton beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 18-10 in the CFL’s West semifinal. “Our defence was pretty vital tonight,’’ said Eskimos head coach Chris Jones. ``We needed to play good there. If you want to win in the playoffs you have to play great on defence.’’ “Our defence seems to be able to do that week in and week out,’’ Lawrence added. “They gave us a lot of chances on offence and we just need to take better advantage of them.’’ The game was billed as a battle of the backup quarterbacks between Edmonton’s Matt Nichols and Saskatchewan’s 41-year-old QB Kerry Joseph, but neither lasted past the midway mark of the third quarter. Edmonton’s No. 1 quarterback Mike Reilly came into the game six minutes into the third quarter despite nursing a broken bone in his right foot. “I knew I was probably going to get in at some point,’’ said Reilly, who was then asked to critique his performance. “We won so good enough. That’s how it goes in the playoffs. If you win, you were good enough. If you lost, you didn’t. We played good enough against a good football team in some tough conditions out there. It will only get harder from here on out, so we certainly want to get better though.’’ With a week to rest, the current belief is that Reilly may be ready to start next Sunday when the Eskimos meet the Stampeders in the West Final in Calgary. “I’m sure that the time between games will help with his injury, we are certainly hoping that it will,’’ Jones
said. “I’d say it looks pretty likely he will start next week.’’ “I definitely expect that will be the case after tonight,’’ Reilly said. “As of right now I feel comfortable that will be the case, but we are still seven days away. That should continue the recovery process and hopefully I will be further along.’’ Quarterback Tino Sunseri finished off the game for the Roughriders. The loss ended any hopes the Roughriders had of defending their Grey Cup championship from last year. “We didn’t do enough things to win,’’ said Saskatchewan veteran defensive lineman John Chick. “First of all, you can’t give up points, big points on special teams. That’s tough to come back from. There’s no secret to the game, you can look throughout the year the turnover battle usually wins the game. “No matter what position we’re put in, we have to do better.’’ Edmonton took the opening kickoff and got on the board just three minutes in on a 37-yard Hugh O’Neill field goal. O’Neill added a 42-yarder with four minutes remaining in the first quarter after the Roughriders turned over the ball on an poor throw by Joseph that was picked off by Aaron Grymes without a Saskatchewan receiver in the vicinity. Joseph was intercepted on his team’s next possession as well, with Chris Rwabukamba snagging it on the Edmonton 45-yard line. O’Neill missed the ensuing threepoint attempt – settling for a single to make it 7-0 by the start of the second quarter. It was the 13th consecutive quarter without allowing a touchdown at home for the Eskimos. Saskatchewan was intercepted for the third straight series as a Joseph pass was deflected into the air by a prone Rob Bagg and into the arms of defender Cauchy Muamba at the Roughriders’ 44.

Eckstrand takes full advantage to get to playoffs BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Dustin Eckstrand entered the Red Deer Curling Classic with arguably an unfair advantage. “He’s the club manager and ice manager here, so we have a little bit of an inside track that way,” Red Deer skip Dustin Eckstrand said Sunday at the Pidherney Centre, in reference to his third Wade Thurber. Eckstrand was coming off a 5-4 win over Aaron Sluchinski of Airdrie in a men’s C-event semifinal and thumped Sean Geall of New Westminster, B.C., 9-3 in a men’s division C-event qualifier of the Red Deer Curling Classic, a World Curling Tour event. “We’ve been just a little sharper, in fact this has been the sharpest the boys have played all year, which is great,” said Eckstrand. “Wade has the ice really good here and that helps making shot-making a little more fine-tuned.” Eckstrand admitted playing at home, with Joel Peterman filling in for Scott Cruickshank, gave his crew more
than a bit of a lift. “There’s extra initiative to play here with the hometown crowd,” he said. “We started winning early and that got us on a roll. We lost an A-event qualifier (5-4 to Josh Heidt of Kerrobert, Sask., Saturday night) by last rock and now we’re qualifying out of C. “It’s been a lot of fun, with good crowds too. I’m on the organizing committee for this event and it’s been great seeing the crowds here this weekend.” Eckstrand’s rink has been together for two years and last winter competed in the Southern Alberta Association men’s playdowns before entering the Traveller’s Championship — the national club team playdowns. “We kind of did the .500 thing, we lost in a C semifinal at the southerns,” said the skip. “Then we got to the Travellers provincials and lost both qualifying games. “We’ll decide over the next few weeks whether we’ll go into the provincial playdowns or back to the Travellers.” Eckstrand joined A-event qualifiers Josh Heidt and Mick Lizmore of Edmonton, B qualifiers Brendan Bot-

Als tame Lions, will face Hamilton BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Montreal 50 B.C. 17 MONTREAL — Montreal Alouettes coach Tom Higgins said this week he was waiting for his offence to explode, and they picked a playoff game to do it. With third string running back Brandon Rutley leading the way with 95 yards on 15 carries, the Alouettes piled up 215 rushing yards in a 50-17 trouncing of the B.C. Lions in the CFL East Division semifinal on Sunday afternoon. “It’s a great feeling to be doing this and be in this position,” said Rutley, who stepped into the lineup when Tyrell Sutton hurt an ankle in the final regular season game, a 29-15 loss at Hamilton. “We have so much talent and, when it comes together like this, it’s magic out there.” The victory bought Montreal a return ticket to Hamilton to face the Tiger-Cats in the East final next Sunday. They hope to stay on the roll that started in mid-season, when they bounced back from a 1-7 start to win nine of their next 11 games. Jonathan Crompton completed 14 of 21 passes for only 155 yards, but they included touchdown tosses to S.J. Green and Duran Carter. The Alouettes tied a team record for rushing TDs in a playoff game with four, as backup quarterback Tanner Marsh ran in twice and Rutley and Chris Rainey each scored one. Defensive back Jerald Brown also scored on a team-record 103-yard fumble return. B.C. ended its season with only two wins in it’s last eight games. Including one-sided losses to Edmonton and
Calgary to end the regular season, the Lions were outscored 120-36 in their final three games. The Lions finished fourth in the West but crossed over because they had a better record than the East’s third-place team, the Toronto Argonauts. Montreal is 4-0 all-time against crossover opponents, with three of those wins against the Lions. B.C. starting quarterback Kevin Glenn went 6 for 18 for only 64 yards with two interceptions before Travis Partridge took over in the third quarter. Star QB Travis Lulay, who missed 20 of the last 21 games, dressed but was not deemed fit enough to get into the game. “There’s no way to explain it,” said B.C. coach Mike Benevides, whose team trailed 50-3 before Partridge threw late TD passes to Shawn Gore and Ernest Jackson, mostly against Montreal’s second string defenders. “The third quarter was disastrous. At halftime, it was a 12-point game. They executed at a high level. They made plays and we didn’t make any.” Montreal led 15-3 at the half, but broke open the game with 21 points in the third quarter on three rushing TDs. “We were getting good push up front,” said Montreal tackle Josh Bourke. “We stuck with the run game. “When playoff football occurs, it’s about running the ball and playing good defence. We made some nice touchdown passes in there too, but we set the tone by running the ball.” Rutley had quite a season. He was invited to training camp after a tryout, but was let go. When tailback Brandon Whitaker was injured late in the season, he was called back and put on the practice roster. Then Sutton

Now the Alouettes need to carry the confidence gained against B.C. into Hamilton, where they lost with turnovers and weak play in the regular
season finale. “That’s the regular season, they won that one,” said linebacker Bear Woods. “We’re going to win this one. Asked if that meant he was guaranteeing victory,“ Woods said: ”I’m guaranteeing it and I hope they’re guaranteeing they’ll beat us.”

ESKIMOS: Both QBs chased from game
Nichols and the Eskimos continued to struggle to take advantage of the gifts from their defence as a short Saskatchewan punt was once again wasted. A 21-yard O’Neill field goal – to make it 10-0 with eight minutes left in the second frame – was all Edmonton could make of it. Edmonton’s special teams stepped up instead as Lawrence found a seam and blazed 84 yards for a punt-return touchdown less than two minutes later to make it 17-0 for the Esks. ‘That was a big spark in the game and gave us a lot of confidence,’’ Jones Photo by JOSH ALDRICH/Advocate staff said. “He is a tremendous player.

Kings outshoot, but can’t outscore Griffins BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF
Photo by JOSH ALDRICH/Advocate staff
RDC Kings goalie Mike Salmon gets his shoulder on a MacEwan University Griffins shot during ACAC men’s hockey action at the Penhold Regional Multiplex on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014. MacEwan won 4-2.
Griffins 4 Kings 2 PENHOLD — The Red Deer College Kings (6-7-0-1) are developing a frustrating habit of out playing their competition, but coming out on the wrong side of the score. It happened in both of their Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s hockey games this week as they played well enough to win, but dropped both games to the MacEwan University Griffins (9-2-0-3), including 4-2 on Saturday night in Penhold. The night before they lost 3-2 in Edmonton, despite outshooting the Griffins 41-26. “The good thing is we’re playing well ... we’re doing the right things, we’re just not getting rewarded yet,� said Kings head coach Trevor Keeper. “The hardest thing to learn is to learn how to win games, usually it comes as the season progresses and that’s what we need to do right now.� Tyler McCalpin, Nolan Yaremchuk, Blake Grainger and Stephan Zipp all scored for MacEwan while Chris Wray made 28 saves for the win. Nick Bell and Blair Mulder replied with a pair of third period goals for the Kings while Mike Salmon stopped 23 shots in the defeat. The Kings effectively controlled most of the game, but untimely breakdowns killed them and then were unable to get a big save when they needed it. The Griffins took a 1-0 lead into the second period on McCalpin’s marker and Yaremchuk stretched the lead to two goals at 1:49 of the second period, snapping a wrist shot past Salmon that appeared to handcuff the goalie. RDC finally got on the scoreboard 53 seconds into the third period as Bell
put a short-handed goal past Wray. But Grainger put the lead back up to two goals off a turnover at the RDC blue-line that turned into a three-ontwo rush, and he sniped the puck over Salmon’s shoulder. Mulder made it 3-2, finishing off a cross-crease pass from Clay Petrie at 16:08 on the power play. But that’s as close as they got as Zipp iced the game with an empty-netter. The Kings finished 1-for-7 on the power play while killing off all eight Griffins man advantages while also scoring once short-handed. RDC’s penalty kill has been superb the past month, having allowed just one goal against on their last 35 opportunities, though their power play has struggled the last four games with a 2-for-22 mark. “We out played them for most of both games, outshot them, our power play scored each game, we were 100 per cent in the penalty kill and usually you get rewarded with a win,� said Keeper. “We had a few little letdowns that were costly, and it was a shift here or there that made the difference in both of those games.� The Kings have a golden opportunity to turn things around this weekend with a home-and-home series with the last-place Portage Voyagers (1-12-0-1), in Lac La Biche on Friday at 7 p.m. and at the Penhold Regional Multiplex on Saturday at 7 p.m. But Keeper is not taking anything for granted. “It’s a tough road trip, we just have to keep playing like we’re playing and eliminate the two or three shifts where we have lapses,� he said. “Regardless of who the competition is, we need to get some consistency going in our game for the whole game.� jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com
Hall scores in return, but Oilers lose EDMONTON HAS YET TO BEAT A WESTERN CONFERENCE OPPONENT Arizona 2 Edmonton 1 EDMONTON – Mikkel Boedker scored the game winner as the Arizona Coyotes defeated the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 on Sunday. Brandon Gormley also scored for the Coyotes (8-91) who have put together back-to-back victories after dropping three in a row. Taylor Hall replied for the Oilers (6-10-2), who have lost three straight and have yet to defeat a Western Conference opponent this season – falling to 0-8-1 in that department. Twenty of Edmonton’s next 23 games are against the West. The best opportunity to start the scoring came with seven-and-a-half minutes remaining in the first period as Oiler centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins almost had a short-handed breakaway. Coyotes goalie Devan Dubnyk, however, came flying well out of his net to knock the puck away. Arizona capitalized on the same power play just over a minute later as Gormley unleashed a bullet from the top of the circle through traffic and past Oilers starter Ben Scrivens. It was Gormley’s first NHL goal. Edmonton outshot the Coyotes 15-8 through 20 minutes. The Coyotes had a glorious chance to pad their lead late in the second period on a two-man advantage after Scrivens was charged with a delay of game penalty, But the Edmonton penalty killers didn’t al-
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Gordie Howe is “not doing well at all� several weeks after suffering a stroke, according to his son Mark. The Hall of Famer known as “Mr. Hockey� had initially been improving better than expected, but that changed recently. “His health has taken a turn for the worse this past week to 10 days and we are doing what we can to help his situation the best that we can,� Mark told The Canadian Press. “But he is not doing well at all is the bottom line.� Gordie Howe, 86, had a stroke Oct. 26 while visiting his daughter in Lubbock, Texas. His family released a statement Nov. 4 saying the hockey legend was “recovering at a remarkable rate.� News began to surface this weekend indicating that was no longer the case. In an interview with “The Hockey News,� Mark Howe said his father’s situation was “headed in the wrong direction.�

The game marked the return of a couple of former Oilers for the first time as Dubnyk, their starting goalie from last season, made his first appearance against Edmonton since being traded from the club last January. Dubnyk came into the game with a 3-0-1 record and fresh off a shutout win over the Canucks. Coyotes forward Sam Gagner, who was dealt over the summer by the Oilers, also played his first game against the team he spent his first seven seasons in the NHL with ...

GABRIELLA’S STORY Our family has always supported STARS through the calendar and lottery campaigns, but on April 20, 2010, the meaning of STARS in our life took on an entirely new meaning. It was early that morning that our daughter Gabriella was born by emergency Cesarean section at Red Deer Regional Hospital and at only 29 weeks gestation. She was tiny at just over 3 pounds and her lungs had not yet fully developed. There was such panic and fear that day that I remember only parts of it. One of the most distinct memories I have of that day was how quickly the STARS crew was there to help. I remember the sense of concern in the ICU that FKDQJHG FRPSOHWHO\ ZKHQ WKH ÀLJKW FUHZ DUULYHG bringing a sense of calm and purpose to the process. The crew had been mobilized from the Foothills Hospital before Gabriella was even born and included an ICU nurse, pediatric respiratory therapist and paramedics; a highly skilled group that operated with speed and precision to have Gabriella’s chest tube inserted and an IV line put into an arm that was no bigger than my thumb. The other most prominent memory I have is IROORZLQJ WKH FUHZ WR WKH ÀLJKW GHFN LQ 5HG 'HHU to watch Gabriella loaded into the helicopter.
I will never forget the pilot walking over to me and d putting his hands on my shoulders. He said, “Dad, d, we’re going to have your baby on the ground at Foothills Hospital in 25 minutes. You can’t beat us there, so take your time and drive safely.� Gabriella spent a total of 45 days in the hospital after she was born, until she was strong enough to come home. My experience in pediatric audiology in the past always had me wondering if there would be complications later in life, maybe with her vision, hearing or development. Gabriella is now 4 years old, she shows no effects of her early arrival. She is incredibly bright, already learning to read and write and normally developing in every way. She loves the outdoors and has always had a sense of adventure, and I often wonder if it has something to do with her start in life, riding in the helicopter when she was only minutes old. Today when we drive by the hospital, she always looks for the red helicopter and says, “Where’s the helicopter Daddy? I think there are some tiny babies in there, just like me.� For that, we will always be truly thankful and a proud supporter of STARS Air Ambulance.

Howe’s health takes a turn for the worse
low them a sniff at the net. The shots favoured the Oilers 25-16 after the second period, with Arizona blocking 14 shots in the second frame alone. The Coyotes went up 2-0 with seven minutes left in the third as Edmonton had trouble clearing the zone and Antoine Vermette was able to send it in front to Boedker, who beat Scrivens stick-side for his seventh goal of the season and fourth in two games against the Oilers this year. Edmonton broke Dubnyk’s shutout bid a minute later on the power play as Jordan Eberle put a pass through traffic to Hall out front, and he sent his seventh of the year into the net. The Oilers had a great chance to tie the game with Justin Schultz looking at an empty net, however Martin Erat got a stick out to deflect the shot and preserve the victory. Dubnyk stopped 33 shots for the win while Scrivens made 26 saves in defeat. The Coyotes return home for one game against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday before heading out on the road for three more. The Oilers play the third game of a five-game homestand on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. Notes: It was the second of five games between the Oilers and Coyotes this season.

Chiefs hand CAC first loss of the year BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Chiefs 6 CAC 4 After preaching patience and process for the past three months, Red Deer Optimist Chiefs head coach Brandin Cote is finally starting to see it pay off. The Chiefs (4-7-3) beat the previously undefeated Canadian Athletic Club (13-1-2) out of Edmonton 6-4 in Alberta Midget Hockey League Action at the Red Deer Arena on Sunday. Tyrees Goodrunning, Ryley Smith, Drew Joslin, Tyler Graber, Brad Makofka and Chase Olsen all scored for Red Deer while Branden Bilodeau made 26 saves in the win. Andrew Marshall, Troy Dudley, Curtis Peck and Brayden Hyland replied for Edmonton while Eric Szudor allowed five goals on 34 shots in the loss. “It was a real confidence boost for us, but we always knew we could do it. We’re building something special here again this year,” said Makofka, 17. “We just need to keep moving forward with this and keep pressing teams and stuff is going to start going our way.” It was the second straight solid performance against one of the league’s top teams, having tied the Calgary Royals (8-5-3) 4-4 on Saturday in Calgary. “We’ve been waiting for bad things to happen,” said Cote. “Now I see the tide turning a little bit where we are going after teams and we are not allowing that to take hold of us and keep us down, we are responding.” It hasn’t just been this weekend that they have started to see their season turn around. It all started five games ago with a 1-0 loss to CAC in Edmonton. Since that game, they have looked nothing like the club that started out the campaign in last place in the AMHL. They had much to overcome this season, a new head coach with new systems, the ghosts of a midget AAA dynasty, and a mostly brand new roster. But they are starting to figure things out.
“We had to get these guys on the same page and understanding what it takes to win,” said Cote. “We’re a work in progress for sure, but over the last five games, since we played these guys in Edmonton, it’s been night-and-day as far as how we’ve played the game —our physicality, our forecheck, defensively — there’s a lot of good things.” This game was ripe for a collapse. After the Chiefs built a 3-1 lead 3:15 into the second period on goals by Goodrunning, Smith and Joslin, the CAC came roaring back and took a 4-1 lead with three goals in five minutes. Cote called a time out, calmed the troops and Graber tied the game at 16:32. The Chiefs came back out of the second intermission in control and at 9:08 Makofka scored the winner, taking a cross-crease pass from Olsen and burying the one-timer past Szudor. Olsen then put the game away with an empty-net goal at 19:05. “The biggest thing is we’ve started believing in each other, we started trusting each other and started getting our systems down,” said Makofka. “We started really believing that we could be one of the top teams in the league. It was hard for everyone to believe that right from the start, but I think we’re starting to show other teams who we are and show how good of a team we are.” One of their big keys has been their scoring depth, a familiar hallmark of the club. Six different goal-scores contributed to Sunday’s win while Smith (12 goals, three assists), Makofka (78-15) and Olsen (7-8-15) are all tied for the team lead with 15 points in 14 games. “Our forwards are as deep as any team in the league,” said Cote. “We’ve got four lines that can play, we don’t have one superstar, but we’ve got some skilled players up front, but we’ve guys who if they play the right way ... we are very capable of playing four lines and wearing teams down.” The key is to now string multiple wins together. They have secured points in three of their past four games, but their schedule is not about to get

Kings quiet Kodiaks, Queens fall Kings 76 Kodiaks 67 The Red Deer College Kings (6-2) are hoping the team that showed up this weekend was the team they will see for the rest of the year. Especially in Saturday’s 76-67 Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s basketball win over the Lethbridge College Kodiaks (6-2) — who were undefeated heading into the weekend — they looked calm and confident in hanging on to a late lead. It is something that to this point in the season has been a challenge, twice blowing leads in the final period to cost them games. “That’s something we have been working on,” said Kings head coach Clayton Pottinger. “We get panicky and we shoot quick shots rather than sticking to our guns. We were expecting them to make a run, we knew they weren’t going to lay down and die. It’s how we weather the storm and I think we did a better job of that today than we probably have in any of our previous games.” RDC led by as many as 18 points midway through the third quarter, but the Kodiaks came back in the fourth, cutting the difference to five points. However, the Kings slowed the pace and started working the shot clock to its full length and hit on key baskets down the stretch to put the game away. Key in that final 10 minutes was the play of third year point guard Matt Johnson whose speed and tenacity on the defensive end of the floor kept the Kodiaks off balance all night. He also hit a few big shots in the final minutes to help clinch the game, finishing with a team-high 18 points. “He’s a captain, he’s one of our leaders, he’s one of those guys we’re going to rely on all year long,” said Pottinger. Tyler Wise finished with 17 points and nine rebounds for the Kings while JP Leblanc had 12 points and Brian Prenoslo had 10. Chaz Johnson led Lethbridge with 20 points while Christopher Maugham had 18 points, eight rebounds and six blocks. Dathon Spencer also chipped in with 15 points. There are still areas of the Kings’ game Pottinger would like to see cleaned up at both ends of the floor, a lot of it coming down to communication and knowing where they need to be. These improvements will be critical as their season continues to crank on, despite finishing up the first semester with the two last place teams in the
league — home-and-home with St. Mary’s University Lions (1-9) this weekend and then at Caronport, Sask., to play the Briercrest Clippers (1-9) the following weekend. “This year I think there’s a lot of parity in the South so we get almost a playoff like situation every weekend,” said Pottinger. “It’s going to be a war down the stretch as we get better and as these other teams get better as well.” Kodiaks 77 Queens 35 It was another rough game for the RDC Queens (08) as the Lethbridge Kodiaks (8-0) crushed them 77-35 on Saturday. It wasn’t as bad as Friday’s 92-22 loss, but it was still a stark reminder of how far away they are from truly competing with the top teams in the ACAC. “You see the attitude and what it takes to win on another team,” said head coach Ken King. “Lethbridge, you can never discredit them, they were in a similar position to where we are just two years ago or three years ago. Talking to (Kodiaks head coach) Brad (Kerran) they’ve had to work hard to get to where they are now. It’s not like we’re looking at a seven-year window, they’re a perfect example of where we can be in two or three years if we work hard.” The Queens were led by freshman forward Ann Stewart who had nine points, 10 rebounds and two blocks, while point guard Megan Dool had eight points. Fifth-year senior Ali Cameron led Lethbridge with 32 points while Sunder West added 14 off the bench. The gap in experience between the two clubs was cavernous. Three of the Kodiaks starting five players are in their fifth year, the other two in their third year. The Queens, meanwhile have two starters in their third year while the other three are all right out of high school. Anytime the Kodiaks felt the Queens start to get a little too much confidence they just found a new level. RDC did their best to hang in defensively, trailing 15-7 after the first quarter, but Lethbridge stretched the score to 38-19 at the half. The Queens came out in the second half playing well, only getting outscored 17-12 in the third quarter, but ran out of gas in the fourth as they were out scored 22-4 in the frame. “I don’t even know if it was so much physical fatigue as it was mental fatigue,” said King. “It’s hard to play down that much for eight quarters.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Calgary 4 Ottawa 2 CALGARY — It’s easy to forget that Calgary Flames centre Josh Jooris is a rookie. Jooris had the game-winning goal, an assist and was a key part of a critical 5-on-3 penalty kill late in the game Saturday night as the Calgary Flames won 4-2 over the Ottawa Senators. Playing in just his 12th NHL game, Jooris had his fourth goal of the season at 5:37 of the third period, scoring on the power play to give Calgary a 3-1 lead. Jooris got open in the slot and neatly converted a centring pass from the corner from Curtis Glencross. “I saw Glennie take a look up and it looked like he knew what he was doing with the puck before he got it,” said Jooris. “When I saw that, I jumped up in the hole and he just found my tape and I just tried to bear down on it.” In just his second pro season, Jooris spent all last year in the American Hockey League and he started this season there also before being called up by the Flames a month ago. “Josh is progressing so well with us. His speed, his anticipation. The way that he reads the play. He smells blood around the net,” said Flames coach Bob Hartley. “He has jump in his stride, he knows how to go to the net and that was a great play by Glennie.” A testament to how much he’s impressed Hartley was when he was sent out late in the game with Calgary up 4-2 but facing a 5-on-3 penalty kill. “It’s nice that they’re showing that confidence in me right now. I’m just trying my best not to let them down,” said Jooris,

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Charley Hoffman began to wonder if he would ever win another PGA Tour event. Even after he rallied to win the OHL Classic at Mayakoba on Sunday, he was reminded of how long it had been when his wife and two young daughters joined in the celebration. “My last win was when Claire was in my wife’s stomach,” Hoffman said with a smile. That would be his oldest daughter, who just turned 4. Hoffman rallied from a three-shot deficit on the El Camaleon course, taking advantage of Danny Lee’s mistakes on the back nine and Shawn Stefani failing to put any pressure on him at the very end. Hoffman closed with a 5-under 66 after taking two putts for a bogey on the 18th. It was his third career victory. He had gone 105 starts between his first and second win, and this time went 108 starts until winning the final PGA Tour event of the calendar year. “It was really nice to see them run out on the green and see the excitement on their face,” Hoffman said. “We have been talking about it for a while. It’s a little bit longer than I anticipated, but it’s nice to finally get it done.” He referred to it as a low-stress round, with a few exceptions, including the final hole at Mayakoba. Stefani, who closed with a 69, made an 18-foot birdie putt on the 17th
to get within one shot. Stefani then hit into a fairway bunker with a lip so steep that he had no option but to hit sand wedge some 50 yards short of the green. Hoffman hit driver that rolled up against the base of a tree, which forced him to play a left-handed shot back to the fairway. Hoffman safely played some 30 feet left of the hole. Stefani’s pitch came up woefully short, and he chipped to 5 feet. That allowed Hoffman two putts for the win, and he rolled his par putt to within 18 inches for a tap-in bogey. Hoffman finished at 17-under 267. Lee ran off seven straight birdies on the front nine to take the lead, but the former U.S. Amateur champion couldn’t hold on. Lee didn’t make another birdie the rest of the way, dropping three shots on the back nine for a 67. He finished two shots behind in a tie for third with Andres Gonzalez, who had a 67 for his best career finish.

ed a fourth-down pass by Eli Manning at the 49ers 2 with 4:43 to play, capping a goal-line stand in a victory that sent error-plagued New York to its fifth straight loss. Borland had two of the 49ers’ five interceptions as the Niners (6-4) survived a game in which a big advantage in time of possession and takeaways did not translate into a blowout on the scoreboard. Colin Kaepernick threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree and Phil Dawson kicked three firsthalf field goals as the 49ers won their second straight on the road. BENGALS 27, SAINTS 10 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Andy Dalton rebounded from one of the worst outings of his career by passing for three touchdowns, and Cincinnati handed New Orleans its second straight loss. For Dalton, the game represented a dramatic reversal from a week ago, when he completed only 10 passes for 86 yards and had a passer rating of 2.0 in a 24-3 loss to Cleveland. Against New Orleans (4-6), Dalton gave the Bengals (6-3-1) an early lead they never relinquished.

ST. LOUIS — Shaun Hill was effective in his first start since regaining the quarterback job and the St. Louis Rams defence made life miserable for Peyton Manning in a 22-7 victory over the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos on Sunday. Rookie Tre Mason had 29 carries for 113 yards, the most allowed by the Broncos’ top-ranked run defence. Kenny Britt had four catches for 128 yards with a 63-yard score and Greg Zuerlein was a career-best 5 for 5 on field goals for the Rams (4-6). Manning was 34 for 54 for 389 yards with two interceptions, but was held to a 42-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders, ending a streak of 15 consecutive games with at least two touchdown passes. The Broncos (7-3) were held to 28 yards rushing and failed twice on fourth down deep in St. Louis territory.

Kevin Harvick celebrates winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship series auto race, Sunday, Nov. 16,2014 in Homestead, Fla.
Harvick captures first Sprint Cup WINS LAST RACE OF THE SEASON TO CLINCH TITLE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Kevin Harvick charged through the field, picking off car after car, passing two other title contenders on a series of restarts. As he aggressively chased the victory and his first Sprint Cup title, it was clear that winning did indeed matter most in NASCAR’s new championship formula. Harvick won Sunday night’s season finale at HomesteadMiami Speedway with a desperate drive from 12th to first over the final 15 laps. He didn’t have to win the race, he only had to finish higher than the other three title contenders in this revamped Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. But nothing short of a win was going to get it done on a night in which Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman and Joey Logano all showed up determined to claim their first career championship. “You had all the championship guys show up at the front of the pack,” Harvick said. “I was just going to hold the pedal down and hope for the best.” The four drivers all found themselves racing each other at the front of the field after the sun went down on the 400-mile race. It was Hamlin, the Charlotte Bobcats seasonticket holder who had Michael Jordan cheering from his pits, who seemed to have the race in control until a caution with 20 laps to go. All four teams were forced to make tough strategy decisions that ultimately decided their fate. Joe Gibbs Racing decided not to pit Hamlin, which moved him to second on the restart. Richard Childress Racing gave Ryan Newman two tires, while Harvick crew chief Rodney Childers made the risky call for four tires. Team Penske had also planned to give Joey Logano four tires, but a problem with the jack destroyed Logano’s chances and he plummeted from sixth to 21st, ending his championship bid. Harvick restarted 12th with 15 laps to go and not much time to pick his way through traffic.
As Hamlin passed leader Jeff Gordon on the restart, Harvick shot past four cars to move to seventh. Then came another caution, and Hamlin, on old tires, knew he was in trouble. Harvick, on the four fresh tires, rocketed through the middle on the restart, dicing his way through traffic to pick up another four spots and move into second. “I loved our chances, but they weren’t there at the end,” said Hamlin. “Strategy is part of winning, and the strategy for us didn’t work out with the cautions.” Harvick got by Hamlin, then Newman passed Hamlin for second and the championship became a battle of drivers who had essentially swapped seats this year. There was one more caution, forcing Harvick to nail one final restart with three laps remaining, and he eased his way ahead of Newman and never looked back. The victory capped a magical first season at Stewart-Haas Racing, where Harvick moved this year after 13 seasons with Richard Childress that failed to produce a championship. Harvick, who had to win last week at Phoenix just to advance into Sunday’s final four, wrapped up his third victory of this Chase and fifth of the season. He leaned this week on team co-owner Tony Stewart, a three-time champion, and Jimmie Johnson, the six-time champion who moved from California to North Carolina to chase a career in NASCAR about the same time as Harvick made the move east. “Been trying for 13 years,” an emotional Harvick said. “This week ate me up. If it wasn’t for Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart, I would have been in bad trouble this week. Those guys really helped me get through the week. After every practice, Jimmie was in there, and in our team debriefs Tony was constantly telling me just to go race and that it’s just another race.” Stewart shared an emotional hug with Harvick, then beamed during the celebration. “That’s about as emotional as you can get, to have one of your greatest friends go out in
one of your race cars and win a championship in the toughest series in the country,” said Stewart. Newman, winless on the season, finished second. Hamlin faded to seventh and Logano was a distant 16th. Harvick’s wife, DeLana, sobbed on the pit stand and buried her head in her hands when Harvick crossed the finish line. She hugged crew chief Childers, who dabbed his eyes, before she made it down to the victory celebration. She met Stewart, who had retired from the race earlier with a car problem and was in street clothes, for an embrace and kiss before holding her son for the victory celebration. Harvick hugged Childers and showered his jubilant crew with Budweiser, the beer company that followed him this year from Richard Childress Racing to Stewart-Haas. Harvick spoke with a catch in his voice, trying to compose himself when it was his turn to hold 2-year-old Keelan. “I’m glad you’re awake,” Harvick told him. “Are you happy you’re awake? Can you say, ’I believe daddy won? Say it. Really loud.”’ Keelan had no comment. Stewart threw his arms around Harvick and the close friends and teammates held each other tight for several moments. It was Stewart who in 2012 convinced Harvick that if he left RCR when his contract expired at the end of 2013, he could help Harvick win his first title. Stewart, co-owner Gene Haas, and Childers, who left Michael Waltrip Racing for the chance to build Harvick’s team, delivered. “They gave us all the resources we needed,” Harvick said. “We never talked about money, we talked about building a team. It was just go get what you need.” For Stewart, it took the sting off of his 15-year winning streak coming to a close Sunday. “It doesn’t make up for a bad year,” Stewart said. “I mean, I’ve had a terrible year. But this makes the end of November great.”
Kim wins in playoff after blowing 5-stroke lead BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEXICO CITY — Christina Kim won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational on Sunday for her first LPGA Tour title in nine years, beating Shanshan Feng in a playoff after losing a fivestroke lead. Kim won with a tap-in par on the par-4 18th on the second extra hole at Club de Golf Mexico. “This is the greatest win in my life, without a doubt,” Kim said. The 30-year-old American celebrated with an exuberant dance and jumped up and down on the green. Kim hugged caddie T.J. Jones, boyfriend Duncan French and friend Michelle Wie, with Wie wiping away tears after embracing the winner. French is Wie’s caddie. “I can’t put into words how I’m feeling right now. Kim said. ”I’m still riding so many emotions. It feels surreal. I can’t explain. I’m so overwhelmed right now. I’m so proud and honoured to be a champion for such an incredible tournament.“ Kim won for the first time since the Tournament of Cham-
pions in November 2005, ending a 221-tournament victory drought. She also won the 2004 Longs Drug Challenge. “She jumped up and she was really happy,” Feng said. “I felt the same thing. I was really happy for her because she’s a good player, good person.” Feng, from China, drove left on the second playoff hole, with her ball settling too close to a tree truck for her to do anything but chip sideways into the fairway. With Kim already pin high 20 feet right of the hole, Feng hit her 9-iron approach to 25 feet — also to the right. Her par putt slid by the right edge, and Kim two-putted for the emotional victory. Feng had a birdie putt to win on No. 18 on the first playoff hole, but left her 15-footer inches short and left. Kim then made a 5-foot par putt to extend the playoff. Kim bogeyed the final hole of regulation — running a 3-footer past the left edge — for a 1-under 71 that left her tied with Feng at 15-under 273. “My brain just didn’t work right there,” Kim said. Feng shot 66. “I thought other than Christina, the rest of us were com-
peting for second place,” Feng said. “I never thought I could catch up. ... I had a really solid run.” After bogeying Nos. 14 and 15 to fall into a tie, Kim rebounded with birdies on Nos. 16 and 17 to take a one-stroke lead. “I was just thinking that there were still chances for me to make birdie,” Kim said. “All the last four days I was thinking, ’What would Lorena do?’ She would gather herself. She would know that she has the ability to make more birdies and just play her best. And whatever happens, happens.” Feng played the four par 5s in 5 under, making an eagle on No. 2 and birdies on Nos. 6, 11 and 17, and chipped in for birdie on the par-4 15th. She won the LPGA Malaysia last month. “She shot 6 under. She played lights out,” Kim said. “It was a very easy round to watch her play. She just made it look so easy while I was bumbling around with the trees.” Top-ranked Inbee Park was third at 11 under after a 68. Brittany Lincicome and So Yeon Ryu followed at 9 under. Lincicome had a 69, and Ryu shot 71.

U.S. Aid worker beheaded by ISIL OBAMA CALLS SLAYING “PURE EVIL” BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — The Islamic State group has beheaded Peter Kassig, releasing a video Sunday showing a masked militant standing over the severed head of a man it said was the former U.S. Army Ranger-turned-aid worker, who was seized while delivering relief supplies in Syria last year. President Barack Obama confirmed Kassig’s slaying after a U.S. review of the video, which also showed the mass beheadings of a dozen Syrian soldiers. The 26-year-old Kassig, who founded an aid group to help Syrians caught in their country’s brutal civil war, “was taken from us in an act of pure evil by a terrorist group that the world rightly associates with inhumanity,” Obama said in a statement. He denounced the extremist group, which he said “revels in the slaughter of innocents, including Muslims, and is bent only on sowing death and destruction.” The slain hostage’s parents, Ed and Paula Kassig, said they were “heartbroken” by their son’s killing, but “incredibly proud” of his humanitarian work. Kassig “lost his life as a result of his love for the Syrian people and his desire to ease their suffering,” the parents said in a statement from Indianapolis. With Kassig’s death, the Islamic State group has killed five Westerners it was holding. American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff were beheaded, as were British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning. Unlike previous videos of slain Western hostages, the footage released Sunday did not show the decapitation of Kassig or the moments leading up to his death. “This is Peter Edward Kassig, a U.S. citizen ... who fought against the Muslims in Iraq,” said the black-clad militant, who spoke with a British accent that was distorted in the video, apparently to disguise his identity. Previous videos featured a militant with a British accent that the FBI says it has identified, though it hasn’t named him publicly. The footage released Sunday identifies the militants’ location as Dabiq, a town in northern Syria that the Islamic State group uses as the title of its English-language propaganda magazine and where they believe an apocalyptic battle between Muslims and their enemies will occur. The high-definition video also showed the beheadings of about a dozen men identified as Syrian military officers and pilots, all dressed in blue jumpsuits. The black-clad militant warns that U.S. soldiers will meet a similar fate. “We say to you, Obama: You claim to
have withdrawn from Iraq four years ago,” the militant said. “Here you are: You have not withdrawn. Rather, you hid some of your forces behind your proxies.” A U.S.-led coalition is targeting the Islamic State group in airstrikes, supporting Western-backed Syrian rebels, Kurdish fighters and the Iraqi military. Kassig, who served in the U.S. Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment, a special operations unit, deployed to Iraq in 2007. After being medically discharged, he returned to the Middle East in 2012 and formed a relief group, Special Emergency Response and Assistance, to aid Syrian refugees. A certified EMT, Kassig had delivered food and medical supplies and provided trauma care to wounded Syrians before being captured in eastern Syria on Oct. 1, 2013. Friends say he converted to Islam in captivity and took the first name Abdul-Rahman. In a statement issued as he flew back to Washington from the Asia-Pacific region, Obama said Kassig “was a humanitarian who worked to save the lives of Syrians injured and dispossessed” by war. The president offered prayers and condolences to Kassig’s family. “We cannot begin to imagine their anguish at this painful time,” he said. Burhan Agha, a Syrian who worked with Kassig in Lebanon, wept when recounting his friend’s humanitarian work. “If I could apologize to each American, one by one, I would, because Peter died in Syria, while he was helping the Syrian people,” Agha told The Associated Press by telephone from Switzerland, where he is seeking asylum. “Those who killed him claimed to have done it in the name of Islam. I am a Muslim and am from Syria. ... (His killers) are not Muslims.” British Prime Minister David Cameron said he was “horrified by the cold-blooded murder,” saying that the Islamic State group had “again shown their depravity.” In previous videos showing the beheadings of the two American journalists and two British aid workers, the hostages were shown kneeling in orange jumpsuits as they were forced to make speeches before their killer lifted a knife to their throats. The latest video did not show Kassig being beheaded. And unlike previous videos, it did not show other Western captives or directly threaten to behead anyone else. It also had lingering close-ups on some militants’ exposed faces, a few of whom appeared to be foreigners. The video appeared on websites used in the past by the Islamic State group, which now controls a third of Syria and Iraq. The Islamic State group still holds other captives, including British pho-

U.S. officials have asked that the woman not be identified out of fears for her safety. The video appeared to be part of continuous efforts to strike at the U.S., which is leading an aerial campaign against the group that began in August in Iraq and spread to Syria the following month. The video came two days after a recording by the group’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was uploaded to the Internet. The militant leader warned that the U.S.-led coalition’s campaign had failed and it would eventually have to send ground troops into battle. The group has declared a self-styled Islamic caliphate in areas under its control, which it governs according to its violent interpretation of Shariah
law, including massacring rebellious tribes and selling women and children of religious minorities into slavery. The group’s militants have also beheaded and shot dead hundreds of captives, mostly Syrian and Iraqi soldiers, during its sweep across the two countries, and has celebrated its mass killings in extremely graphic videos. The Islamic State group has its roots in al-Qaida’s Iraqi affiliate but was expelled from the global terror network over its brutal tactics and refusal to obey orders to confine its activities to Iraq. It became even more extreme amid the bloody civil war in neighbouring Syria and grew strong enough to launch a lightning offensive across Iraq. Syria’s war began as an uprising against President Bashar Assad. Activists say that conflict has killed more than 200,000 people.
Romanian prime minister concedes defeat LOSES PRESIDENTIAL RUNOFF, GETS 44 PER CENT OF VOTE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In this Jan. 11, 2014 file photo, Bob Fretwell of Mesquite, Texas, protests outside the Dallas Convention Center where the Dallas Safari Club is holding its weekend show and auction, where a permit to shoot an endangered black rhinoceros in Africa was up for bid, in Dallas.
Rhino hunt cancelled if U.S. denies permit to import carcass BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS — A Texas hunting club that auctioned off a permit to shoot an endangered black rhinoceros in Africa said it will cancel the hunt if a federal agency denies the winning bidder’s request to bring the dead animal back to the U.S. as a trophy. Corey Knowlton bid $350,000 at a January auction that the Dallas Safari Club billed as a fundraising effort to save the endangered species. Last spring, he applied for a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that would enable him to import the rhino’s body following the hunt in Namibia. But he’s still waiting to hear back. The agency is applying extra scrutiny to Knowlton’s request because of the rise in poaching, said spokesman Gavin Shire. If the permit is denied, the safari club plans to refund Knowlton’s money that was pledged to a rhino conservation fund in the southwestern African country. “Most people that have an animal mounted, it’s their memory of their
experience,” said Ben Carter, the safari club’s executive director. “It’s not always, ’Look at what I’ve shot.’ When they look at it, they remember everything. That’s what he bid the money on, that opportunity.” The wildlife agency began taking public comment on the permit application this month and has already heard from many of the groups that fervently opposed the auction. The safari club has defended the planned hunt, noting that auction proceeds would go to a trust fund administered by the Namibian government to help boost the black rhino population. The wildlife service expects to make a decision after the public comment period ends Dec. 8, taking into account the state of the herd in Namibia, where 1,800 of the world’s 4,880 black rhinos live. The agency also is examining exactly how the auction funds would be administered. Last year, the service granted a permit to import a sport-hunted black rhino taken in Namibia in 2009, but increased poaching since then may impact whether any more are approved, said Shire.
BUCHAREST, Romania — Thousands of people gathered in Bucharest to celebrate after Romania’s prime minister conceded defeat Sunday night in a presidential runoff against an ethnic German Transylvanian mayor. Prime Minister Victor Ponta had been the favourite to win, but was defeated by Klaus Iohannis, the mayor of the city of Sibiu who promised to crackdown on corruption. Ponta said he had personally congratulated Iohannis. “We are a democratic country,” Ponta said outside the headquarters of his Social Democratic Party two hours after polls closed. “The people are always right.” With one-third of the votes counted, Iohannis was leading with 56 per cent of the vote, while Ponta had 44 per cent, authorities said early Monday. The winner will replace President Traian Basescu, who is stepping down after 10 years. Ponta called on some 15,000 protesters gathered outside his offices to listen to his message in an apparent attempt to defuse tensions over difficulties encountered by expatriate Romanians voting abroad. The protest turned into a celebration as the tall Iohannis walked through the jubilant crowd, smiling broadly and shaking hands with peo-
No one hurt in quake off New Zealand coast WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A strong magnitude-6.7 earthquake that struck off the New Zealand coast Monday morning rattled much of the country but did not result in any initial reports of damage or injuries. The quake hit 178 kilometres (110 miles) northeast of the North Island city of Gisborne, according to the United States Geological Survey. The quake’s epicenter was a relative deep
ple gathered in a square where demonstrators were shot dead during Romania’s 1989 revolution. “Thanks to you, another kind of Romania is beginning,” Iohannis said on his Facebook page. “The Romania we want is not one of conflict or revenge.” “Your vote and your word are its foundation. Let’s put the first brick on this building and let it be a lasting one!” About 300,000 Romanians who live overseas voted Sunday, many against the government. There were protests that they had been unable to vote in the Nov. 2 election that led to the runoff. Some Romanians waved toothbrushes to protest long waits at polling stations abroad and thousands protested in Munich, according to Mediafax news. Romanians living overseas must vote at polling stations in the countries where they are, and thousands of expats protested after they had to stand in line for hours in cities such as Paris, London, and Munich during the first round. Some were unable to vote. The government said it had improved the voting procedure this time at facilities, including Romanian embassies. Ponta led by 10 percentage points in the Nov. 2 vote, and corruption probes of senior Ponta aides appeared not to have dented the 42-year-old former prosecutor’s chances. 35 kilometres, according to the agency. The quake was felt throughout much of country according to the GeoNet agency, which collects earthquake information. Most people reported feeling it as a light or moderate shaking. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami warning. New Zealand is part of a geologically active region that’s often called the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin. A 2011 earthquake in the city of Christchurch destroyed much of the downtown and killed 185 people.
