RED DEER PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Lessons in gender identity BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer Public Schools staff are learning how to feel comfortable talking about sexual orientation and gender identity issues as the district works to put in place a Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity policy. Earlier this month, the school board approved a proposed policy that supports an environment where all members of the school community work and learn free from fear, discrimination, and harassment. It also promotes pro-active strategies and guidelines to ensure that sexual or gender minority students, employees and families are welcomed and included in all aspects of education and school life, and are treated with respect and dignity. Kristopher Wells, with the Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services at the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta, said Red Deer public will likely be the 10th school jurisdiction out of 61 in Alberta to pass a policy to protect LGBTQ students and staff. “It’s part of a trend here in Alberta, but also a trend across Canada where school boards are understanding where their statutory and legal responsibilities are to provide discrimination-free environments,” said Wells who led professional development sessions for about 100 Red Deer public staff members on Wednesday.

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A year round farmers market may soon be offering local seasonal produce in Red Deer. Garden City Market will open in November as a winter market on Wednesdays at Pioneer’s Lodge. But it could bring life to a farmers market that is open all year, said Daniel Chappell, owner of the Bowden-area Country Thyme Farm, and market president. “We think Red Deer is ready for it,” said Chappell, spokesperson for the market group. The group is working on the details to designate the market an official Alberta approved farmers market. Chappell said the studies have shown that residents would like the option in the city. The group has booked four dates (two Wednesdays in November and a Thursday and a Friday in December) to test the waters before investing a lot of money into the venture. “We are just easing into it and not jumping into it too hard,” he said. “It will definitely be something we will discuss in the new year.”

A Red Deer mother said she tried desperately in numerous ways to get help for her troubled 15-yearold son, and was on the verge of bringing him home when he was shot to death in Saskatchewan. A 14-year-old Saskatoon boy has been charged with manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death, and a number of weapons charges. Now she is looking for answers to how her son slipped through the cracks of a system designed to help people like him. No one in this story is named because the Youth Criminal Justice Act prevents identifying the names of youth victims, accused and witnesses. She said she grew concerned about her son when he lived with her in Red Deer because he was having some problems and he had started experimenting with marijuana. She said she is totally against drugs and she became frightened for her son. She had raised him in a new family after she and his father split up when he was five years old. But to get him in a new environment, she sent her son to Saskatchewan to live with his father, who had agreed to take care of him. Her son did return later to Red Deer once and she agreed he could stay if he followed certain rules, but he started skipping school again so his mother sent him back to Saskatchewan and his father. She said she became aware though that he was

also doing street drugs and missing school there so she began to seek out help for him by contacting social agencies there. She said she doesn’t know what street drugs he was taking. She became deeply concerned when he went missing in June for several days. “I got really scared, and of course what normal people do, I phoned the police and filed a missing persons report … He was found about a week later. … Police did search for him and found him, and got him back home to his father.” She said she talked to police, the gang squad, social agencies and school authorities in Saskatchewan during various efforts to help her son. “I just feel like there’s so many … that failed him, including myself. I wished that I wouldn’t have been so afraid that I was going to do him wrong, so I thought that I was doing what was better for him (by letting him go to live with his father).” In July, the mother said that she decided to go to Saskatchewan and get a judge’s court order under the Youth Drug Detoxification and Stabilization Act to force her son to get help. But he evaded police and the order expired. She went back to Saskatchewan and got a second order, but again police could not find him, she said. Her son became angry with her and stopped talking to her, so she didn’t pursue it further, she said. “I just wanted to get back with contact with my son, because if he’s in trouble I didn’t want to lose that contact, and I was missing him so much.”

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

POLICY: Leadership He said Red Deer public will not be the first jurisdiction in Central Alberta to put a policy in place, but it is the biggest so it’s really important they show leadership to encourage others. “No student should have to go to school and simply have to survive their experience. School should be a place where they can thrive.” Wells said the policy breaks the silence around sexual orientation and gender identity issues and authorizes people to be part of conversations and do the work that’s needed in schools to create safe, inclusive and equitable environments. “Don’t underestimate the impact of these policies and the importance of gay/straight alliances or queer alliances. These are valuable lifelines for many of our young people. We know, for example, that LGBTQ youth have a suicide rate that is two to three times than their heterosexual peers.” Red Deer public’s proposed policy has been referred to principals, school staff and councils, a co-ordinating committee and the general community for further input. It will return to the school board, as early as December, for further consideration and possible adoption.

Kristopher Wells, assistant professor, director of programs and services, institute for sexual minority studies and services, in the faculty of education at the University of Alberta visited the Red Deer Public School District, Wednesday.

MARKET: Avoid conflict TEEN: He was upset The group would likely operate the market on another day during the week to avoid conflict with the DBA’s Downtown Market on Wednesdays in the summer. Chappell said to start there will be 10 to 12 local vendors selling winter root vegetables, preserves, meat and eggs at the winter market. The market is slated to be open on Nov. 11, Nov. 25, Dec.10 and Dec. 23 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Pioneer’s Lodge (4324 46A Ave.). Garden City Market will be the second winter market in the city. Every second Saturday, Eastview Estates Community Hall (120 Ellenwood Drive) hosts a two-hour winter market starting at 10 a.m. For more information visit www.gardencitymarket.wordpress.com or Garden City Market on Facebook. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

She did hear from him again, this time he told her that a girl he knew had been killed in a traffic accident, and he was upset. So she went to Saskatchewan and met him. She said she found him in rough shape because of a chronic medical condition he had, and while she was there he ended up in hospital. When things were stable she returned to Red Deer. She said she wanted her son to come back with her but he said he needed to think about it a bit. She said she told him that he needed to have a normal life as a teenager, and be around people who could give him guidance. He messaged her on Monday, Sept. 7, telling her that she had got him thinking about returning to Red Deer. He told her his father was going to pick him up at a particular house in Saskatoon, she said.

Calgary man convicted of manslaughter in stabbing of new neighbour BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A man who argued he was fending off an attempted sex assault when he stabbed his new neighbour 37 times has been convicted of manslaughter. A judge, in rejecting Nicolas Rasberry’s defence, said the prolonged attack on Craig Kelloway in May 2013 was “excessive and unreasonable.” “The amount of force used is so far out of proportion as to render the accused’s actions as being unreasonable,” Justice Robert Hall said Wednesday in a Calgary courtroom. “Long before the stabs and slashes were complete, the victim would have been disabled and the continuation of the knife attacks quickly becomes excessive and unreasonable.” Hall did say there was a level of provocation and that’s why he found Rasberry, 32, guilty of the lesser charge instead of the second-degree murder he was charged with. Rasberry said Kelloway had threatened to sexually assault him and his wife. Kelloway, 31, was originally from Glace Bay, N.S., and had just moved in next door. He was killed the same day the two men and their partners had a few drinks and a barbecue together for the first time. Rasberry made a call to 911 after the attack, saying he’d stabbed Kelloway when the teacher tried to have sex with him after the women had left them alone. He told investigators he felt like he had to “put him down,” but said the last thing he wanted was for

Kelloway to die. Rasberry was visibly distraught and attempted to hold back tears as the judge recounted what happened. The verdict was delayed slightly as a larger courtroom had to be found to accommodate the 150 to 200 friends and family who attended. There was an audible gasp from onlookers when the judge rejected Rasberry’s self-defence argument. The Crown had argued Rasberry, who didn’t testify during the trial, had not sufficiently explained why he needed to use three knives or why the attack was so vicious. A medical examiner testified during the trial that Kelloway’s chest cavity, lungs, ribs, intestine and diaphragm were punctured. The expert said the attack was so violent that knife fragments, including the tip, were left in Kelloway’s body. Prosecutor Todd Buziak was satisfied with the verdict. “Of course we’re pleased with the outcome,” he said outside the courthouse. “He found there was self defence however, the nature of the force used by Mr. Rasberry was excessive under the circumstances and therefore could not be justified.” Rasberry’s lawyer, Hersh Wolch, had little to say about the decision or his client. “We haven’t gone into great depth about it. He’s taking it in. He’s a good young man, so we’ll see.” Rasberry is to return to court Nov. 6 so that a date can be set for his sentencing.

She wanted to start action then to bring him home but because it was the September long weekend Monday, she wasn’t going to be able to do much until the next day, she said. Her son had messaged her at 4 p.m. At 6:30 p.m. a shotgun went off at the house where her son was. He was hit by the blast. He died there. “Then I get the call (from her son’s father). He told me to sit down and I knew something was wrong. … He said, ‘He was shot, and he’s gone.’ I couldn’t believe it.” “I spent a week in the hospital. I struggle every day. I’ve had to go on medication. My boys don’t have the mom that they had before. My daughter’s having a very hard time.” She now wants an investigation into the care her son received in Saskatchewan. The young teen charged in her son’s death is scheduled to appear in court this week for a bail hearing. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEFS

Craft brewers happy with lower mark-up and tax on Alberta-produced beer CALGARY — Some Alberta craft brewers say they are thrilled with the changes made in the recent provincial budget. The NDP has lowered the mark-up and liquor tax on local beer, which is expected to allow the Alberta craft beer industry to grow past 20,000 hectalitres a year. Jeff Orr, co-founder of Toolshed Brewing Co., says it will give them a better shelf presence on the store shelves. He says before, they could only grow to a certain point and then the taxes “became cumbersome.” Orr says now they can look past that and build on their success. He says that will keep the markets moving and the beer flowing to thirsty Albertans.

Survey shows that long-term care didn’t improve in Alberta in 2014-2015 CALGARY — The Health Quality Council of Alberta has released the results of its 2014-15 long-term care facility survey and the news isn’t great. The majority of the province’s 160 facilities showed little to no significant change in the five key measures of care and service, with most, if any, change being negative since the last survey in 2010. Council CEO Andrew Neuner says he is disappointed with the results. He says they haven’t been able to pinpoint exactly what is causing overall lack of faith in the facilities, but most families who took part in the survey says their top priority would be to see more staff hired. Neuner says Alberta Health Services should be doing a better job of filling the needs of the various facilities.

COMMENT

A4 Alberta must diversify its economy BY ROBERT MCGARVEY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Here we go again. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is commissioning a panel to study methods to diversify Alberta’s economy. The public may be forgiven for shrugging their shoulders; after all, diversification has – theoretically – been a top priority since former Premier Peter Lougheed. The truth is, when it comes to diversification, we know what to do, but not how to do it. The Premier’s Council on Economic Strategy (2011) recommended “… reducing our vulnerability by… applying knowledge in new ways to get greater value from all our natural and human resources…” Luckily, the answer to getting greater value is staring us in the face: unleash the power of Alberta’s technology sector. Like many other jurisdictions, the Alberta government spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually supporting technology related R&D (research and development). Total R&D funding in Alberta from all sources, federal, provincial and private sectors, is over $3 billion per annum, and is growing at a healthy pace. The result, in areas of excellence like bio-refining, (space age) materials,

nanotechnology, clean tech, biotechnology and health care, is very impressive. World-class innovation is being generated in Alberta and has been for many decades. But R&D alone is not enough to diversify the economy. There is a need to build solid commercial enterprises that headquarter in Alberta, develop products, hire new staff and compete successfully in world markets. The problem is that very few of the thousands of technology rich start-ups that exist today are able to escape the Starvation Zone and become successful commercial businesses in Alberta. What is the Starvation Zone? It is the financial black hole that technology meets when it emerges from the laboratory. Having developed in a fully ‘oxygenated’ university environment, for example, the young technology entrepreneurs encounter a world where bank doors are closed and where alternative sources of capital like angel investor networks and venture capital are extremely limited. Regrettably, as a result, a technology ‘success’ in Alberta most often involves the sale of a world-class technology to a U.S., Chinese, or South Korean venture firm at ‘pennies on the dollar’, and the loss of opportunity for Alberta. So — what do we do to solve this problem?

THURSDAY, OCT. 29, 2015

It is now time to address the roots of the problem. Technology commercialization needs its own nutrient-rich commercial biosphere. This protective environment wants, first of all, the raw material of innovation, but it also needs access to vital nutrients including expertise in commercialization, production, global marketing, and sales and finance in order to create the conditions for life. Clearly we have many of the ingredients for this biosphere already. Alberta is rich in innovation and has expertise of all sorts, including business development specialists, technology incubators and related support services. What it lacks is access to finance. There are two major impediments that need to be overcome in order to ‘oxygenate’ Alberta’s technology environment, both of which can be influenced by government playing the role of catalyst. One, strengthen the balance sheets of technology-rich start-ups by capitalizing their intangible assets(1). Doing so would formally recognize the latent value in their intellectual property; perhaps quantify leverage-able collateral. Secondly, reform Alberta’s capital markets so that we can connect the multiple billions of dollars in Albertan’s RRSP, TFSA, pension and mutual funds to local investment opportunities.

The first of these problems is a direct government problem; it’s a product of how we manage corporate tax in Canada. Junior companies are encouraged to write off their development expenses in order to reduce their tax burden and qualify for various government grants. So far so good, but the result is empty balance sheets, no assets (or collateral) and therefore no financial leverage. Solve this accounting problem (it is being done in other jurisdictions now) and Alberta technology has a fighting chance. Capital market reforms are also something government could support. The Alberta government has two major financial institutions it influences: the ATBs (Alberta Treasury Branches) and Alberta’s credit unions. Both of which have millions of depositors and/ or members. These institutions should be encouraged to establish ‘Alberta First’ mutual like funds that direct savings toward ‘investment ready’ Alberta technology companies. None of these initiatives are particularly difficult, and with sufficient support they could ‘oxygenate’ the technology biosphere and help achieve the goal of diversifying Alberta’s economy. Robert McGarvey is an economic historian and co-founder of the Genuine Wealth Institute and a Troy Media columnist.

Salomons inspiring with wisdom, words and genuine concern for others There are good reasons to read the Red Deer Advocate and one of them is to read the weekly column by Chris Salomons. I know I echo the sentiments of many people when I say each week this very decent caring human being inspires us with his wisdom, words and genuine feeling of concern for others. He has that rare gift and shares it with so many he comes in contact with in this wonderful example he offers. The effort he puts forth for those homeless, neglected, addicted and shunned sets a great example that hopefully all of us will take note of and improve where we can to do our little bit with mor concern and help even though it may be just a smile or a shoulder to lean on for just a few moments. Thank you Chris and those volunteers that work with you for the work you do, so often with no recognition but always with inspiration for the many that read your Saturday column. May you live to be 110 because even if that happens, your dedication to your work will be the same, helping others in need. Linus and Ellen Westberg Red Deer

uncertainty and surprises. The glee and delight from the main stream media commentators could not be contained as they announced the Liberal wins, starting on the east coast. In the last Trudeau government, the only thing the West received was the NEP and the middle finger. This Trudeau government will no doubt give us a “modified NEP” and possibly two middle fingers, only this time it will be with the Alberta Government’s backing and blessing. The “takers” have won and the “payers” have lost on this day (the new electoral map indicates the results), but there will be another day. The economies of the West will likely be diminished under this new government, however we can take solace in knowing that the billions of dollars of transfer payments should be reduced or eliminated (unless the formulas are changed so that they still keep taking). We know one thing will happen: the media will be reporting with “Rose Coloured” glasses, saying everything is great, unfortunately the “Real Truth” will not be told. Wayne Saastad Sylvan Lake

I am writing in response to Trudeau’s policy on refugees and the war against ISIS. He is not even in power yet and he is already showing his soft side to the war on ISIS. First he has already declared that he will pull our fighter jets out of the war, and now he has now stated that he will open the floodgates

They are now facing all the problems associated with radicalism, terrorism, crime, and all the social problems associated with the massive flood of so called refugees in their countries. Trudeau better listen very carefully to his security advisors and set up some sort of vetting process and decide who he is going to let in to our country. But at this time, he has not made any statement about how he is going to protect Canada and Canadians from terrorist infiltrations. He has stated that he will be working with governments at all levels regarding the placement of said refugees.

I will state, however, that I do not have a problem with letting actual, deserving refugees enter our country, as long as they, like thousands of refugees from different countries, before them, want to assimilate into our country without bringing their “baggage,” and leave their laws in their home country.

A5 Notley shuts door on sales tax talk â€œTHAT BUDGET NOR ANY OTHER BUDGET IN THE TERM OF THIS GOVERNMENT WILL NOT AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A PST.â€?

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON â€” Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is shutting down suggestions her spend-heavy budget may ultimately trigger a sales tax to pay for it all. Notley told the house during question period Wednesday that no sales tax or harmonized tax will be created on her watch. â€œThat budget nor any other budget in the term of this government will not and does not include a PST,â€? said Notley. The budget presented by Finance Minister Joe Ceci uses low interest rates and a downturn in the economy to ramp up construction and refurbishment of roads, schools and hospitals. It projects $34 billion in capital spending over the next five years and $47 billion in total debt by 2020. The government intends to keep hiring to a minimum, but doesnâ€™t plan to drastically reduce staffing levels in

THURSDAY, OCT. 29, 2015

â€”ALBERTA PREMIER RACHEL NOTLEY key areas such as health and education. The result is a budget that forecasts multibillion-dollar deficits for the next four years, including $6.1 billion in the current fiscal year, which ends March 31. Wildrose Leader Brian Jean told Notley the borrowing could trigger a cut in the provinceâ€™s AAA credit rating, leading to higher interest rates and even more red ink. â€œThis budget has too much debt and no plan to pay it back,â€? Jean told the house. â€œWhy is the premier risking the future well-being of Albertans with this budget?â€? Notley noted the government will pass a bill this session to head off downgrades by limiting debt to 15 per cent of the provinceâ€™s nominal gross

domestic product. She said the current ratio is about six per cent of GDP. She said her job is to find the best long-term plan and stick with it rather than simply hacking and slashing when prices fall in Albertaâ€™s wellspring oil economy. â€œThis budget is investing in the future well-being of Albertans,â€? said Notley. â€œThe drop in the price of a barrel of oil should not be something that every teacher looks at every morning to find out if they have a job that day.â€? Jean and other opposition leaders have criticized Notley for borrowing not just for capital projects but also, starting next year, to pay for day-to-day programs and salaries.

But when Aaron van der Reest cracked the plaster shell protecting the 75-million-year-old specimen from southern Alberta, he got a lot more than that. â€œMy first thought was, â€˜Is this actually what I think it is?â€?â€™ Van der Reest was studying ornithomimus, a dinosaur that looked very much like an ostrich. What he found on bones connecting the leg to the breast was something never seen before on a North American fossil â€” feathers. â€œThey look like little tiny black lines,â€? said the undergraduate in paleontology, who describes his find in a journal paper published Wednesday. â€œThe thickest is about a half-millimetre across.â€? Feathered dinos have been found before but most come from China. Not only is van der Reestâ€™s sample believed to be a North American first, itâ€™s one of the best-preserved in the world and includes a patch of skin. â€œWe can see individual feathers,â€? he said Wednesday, still sounding slightly in awe despite the two years it took him to clean and prepare the specimen. The fossil reveals what ornithomimusâ€™s tail plumage was like. Scientists are still studying molecules within the feathers to see if they hint at colour, but van der Reest can say they

As for the skin, it seems to have been mostly smooth with pores for feathers. It may have looked much like a plucked goose, he said. The dinosaur would have looked so much like an ostrich, van der Reest theorizes ornithomimus used a combination of feathers and bare skin for the same reason todayâ€™s birds do â€” to regulate heat. â€œItâ€™s virtually identical,â€? he said. â€œChances are ornithomimus is doing exactly the same thing (as ostriches).â€? The correspondences are so strong van der Reest believes that they donâ€™t

just apply to his object of study. â€œThereâ€™s a really good chance that other dinosaurs are doing the same thing,â€? he said. Van der Reest is now a third-year bachelorâ€™s student â€” pretty junior to have made such a significant find. But heâ€™s no beginner. Now 34, heâ€™s been working on dinosaur fossils, preparing them for study and exhibition, since he was 16. He undertook the ornithomimus project in addition to his regular class load. He knows making such a significant find as a first-year student is something special. â€œI was pretty lucky. I donâ€™t know if Iâ€™ve stopped smiling since.â€?

will go ahead with a new cancer-care centre there, told reporters that not doing so would require deep and devastating cuts in public services. â€œThe only way that any government could plan to not have to borrow for operations for a couple of years would have been to make absolutely unprecedented cuts to our teachers, to our nurses, to our hospitals, to the very services that promote the resilience of our communities,â€? she said. The government anticipates borrowing $712 million next year to pay for operating expenses and $3.1 billion the year after that. Alberta has not borrowed to pay the everyday bills in two decades. In recent years, Progressive Conservative governments drew down on the provinceâ€™s multibillion-dollar contingency fund to cover off deficits. That will no longer be an option come next year as the government plans to use up the money left in the fund.

BRIEF Town disappointed with cancellation of Shellâ€™s Carmon Creek project PEACE RIVER The mayor and council of a northwestern Alberta town are reacting to Royal Dutch Shellâ€™s announcement that it is scrapping its Carmon Creek oilsands project. The project is near the town of Peace River. The council said in a statement posted on the town website that it has caused great concern as Shell helped fund several community projects. Mayor Tom Tarpey says his first thought was for those working on the project. The town says the cancellation will not affect upgrades to Peace Regional Airportâ€™s upgrades. Shell cited a lack of pipelines to coastal waters as one reason for the decision to cancel the project. The European energy giant first announced it would build the 80,000-barrel-a-day, steam-driven operation in October 2013. But last March, the company said it would slow down the project while attempting to lower costs and improve its design. However, the company now says now the project doesnâ€™t rank in its portfolio â€” and one reason is the lack of infrastructure to get Canadian crude to global markets. Peace River town council said it will be contacting federal and provincial politicians to â€œoutline our need for greater infrastructure in the north to support industry development. â€œThat means pipelines but also roads, railways, bridges, and market access to ensure the long-term sustainability of our industries.â€?

TOFINO, B.C. — Twin sisters with British roots say the deaths of five people in a whale watching boat that capsized off the west coast of Vancouver Island cut even deeper knowing the deceased were from the United Kingdom. Trudi and Astrid Castle said Wednesday they feel connected to the disaster, which is under investigation. The sisters grew up in London but now Trudi lives in Vancouver and Astrid makes her home in Berlin. They were vacationing in the remote village of Tofino, B.C., to get away from the hustle of city life when they heard about the deaths of five Britons, ranging from age 18 to 76. An Australian man remains missing. “It’s just completely tragic,” said Astrid Castle, who visited Tofino’s First Street dock overlooking the Pacific Ocean and nearby islands where the vessel is believed to have rolled Sunday during a big wave. “It’s sad if it happens to anyone, and then when you hear (they were) British it also feels a lot more like really awful to hear, especially as tourists here,” Castle said. “I’m gathering they were all tourists as well and they were just coming for a nice time, a nice holiday. And they go out and something like that happens.” A police dive team made its second attempt Wednesday afternoon to search the whale-watching boat, which capsized near Vargas Island, about 12 kilometres from Tofino, with 27 pas-

sengers and crew on board. Heavy waves prevented RCMP officers from conducting a morning search, but receding winds gave them another chance to survey the vessel. The Transportation Safety Board is hoping to recover electronic equipment that could establish the vessel’s location and condition when it capsized. The TSB has said sightseeing passengers crowded the top deck of the vessel when it was hit by a wave and then rolled, sending people into the water. “We know that most passengers and crew were on the top deck on the port side … this would have raised the centre of gravity, affecting the vessel’s stability,” Marc-Andre Poisson, the TSB’s director of marine investigations, said Tuesday. “We also know that the sea conditions were such that the wave approached the vessel from the starboard quarter,” he said. “We know the vessel broached and then capsized.” Members of the missing Australian man’s family arrived at an airport near Tofino on Wednesday but did not comment as they left in a waiting vehicle. Trudi Castle said she and her sister are life-long city dwellers who are aware of the potential dangers in an urban environment though nature is supposed to be mostly peaceful. “In nature you just have to be careful because there’s lots of things out of your control.” The BC Coroners Service identified the five victims as Britons David Thomas, 50, and his 18 year-old son

GATINEAU, Que. — Sen. Patrick Brazeau said Wednesday he’s focused on getting back to the upper chamber “as quickly as possible” after a Quebec judge agreed to grant him an unconditional discharge on assault and drug charges. The decision means Brazeau avoids the prospect of jail time and even a criminal record, despite having pleaded guilty to the charges in September. “This nightmare, I’ve been living with this for two and a half years and it’s finally over,” Brazeau said outside the courtroom in Gatineau, Que., after the decision came down. Partway through the trial, Brazeau pleaded to reduced charges of assault and possession of cocaine, while the more serious charge of sexual assault was dropped due to a lack of evidence. Quebec Court Judge Valmont Beaulieu read a lengthy decision that outlined why he agreed with the joint recommendation of the Crown prosecutor and Brazeau’s lawyer, who urged him to grant a discharge. The victim did not make a statement to the court before the sentencing. Beaulieu emphasized certain extenuating circumstances, including that Brazeau had lived for several months under the cloud of being accused of sexual assault, and that the victim did not suffer any injuries. He also noted a Supreme Court judgment that outlined how a person’s public position can subject them to additional media scrutiny and public shame. “Each time any individual — regardless of colour, creed or anything — in this country gets accusations of sexual assault, obviously it’s going to taint that person’s reputation,” Brazeau said.

OTTAWA — A surprise appearance by prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau at a reception of university presidents sends a powerful signal about a fresh tone from Ottawa, says the new head of Universities Canada. Elizabeth Cannon, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Calgary, says she was “thrilled” by Trudeau’s unannounced, short visit and address Tuesday night at a reception near Parliament Hill hosted by Canada’s university umbrella organization, formerly known as the Association of Universities and Colleges Canada. “With 214 new MPs, a soon-to-be-announced cabinet of new ministers and a prime minister who began his career as an educator, we have, right now, an unprecedented opportunity to provide fresh thinking in Ottawa and throughout Canada on higher education, research and innovation,” Cannon said in a speech Wednesday as she began her two-year term as Universities Canada chair. In an interview, Cannon called Trudeau’s appearance this week “a huge signal for us.” “He talked passionately about the impact his own university education had on him, his life, his thinking. That was a very positive message,” said Cannon, an engineer.. “I think it sets a wonderful tone moving forward.” The Conservative government under Prime Minister Stephen Harper

liked to use university types and intellectual elites as a rhetorical punching bag, although the government’s actual policies on post-secondary education were far more nuanced. “Look, it’s not that elite opinion doesn’t matter and in all matters expert opinion always counts, but you cannot govern well and you cannot govern properly unless you understand the values and realities of ordinary Canadians,” Harper said just last month in a mid-election interview with Metro newspaper. His former chief of staff, Ian Brodie, was more blunt in 2009 when he told a McGill University panel that “politically it helped us tremendously to be attacked by this coalition of university types,” over criminal justice reforms. Past university association chairs did meet with Harper on occasion during his almost 10 years in office, said spokeswoman Helen Murphy, but he never made an appearance at one of University Canada’s twice-early membership events. Cannon was diplomatic in assessing the Conservative record, noting the government launched significant new programs even in tough financial times, including a $1.5 billion Canada First Excellence Research Fund announced in the 2014 budget that began dispersing grants this year. She said individual MPs and Conservative cabinet ministers always warmly welcomed the university community, despite all the anti-intellectual rhetoric such as the much-repeated jibe about Trudeau “committing sociology.”

the social workers labelled the mother as crazy and discounted her tearful efforts to convince them that her children had been sexually abused by their father.

KINLEY, Sask. — Weather may be to blame for Tuesday night’s helicopter crash that took the life of a 48-year-old man from the Calgary area. The pilot was also the lone occupant in the helicopter travelling from Calgary to Saskatoon when it crashed in a field near the town of Kinley. Transport Canada says the pilot was reporting that he was entering severe icing before the chopper lost contact with radar. Police say there were no homes or buildings near the crash site. The accident marks the second time a helicopter has gone down in Saskatchewan in less than a week. Two men died last Thursday when their chopper crashed onto an island in the North Saskatchewan River near Paynton while they were repairing power lines. Steven Wilson, 55, of Campbell River, B.C., was the pilot and Dean Gervais, 30, of Prince Albert, Sask., was the passenger. Wilson was a pilot working for Oceanview Helicopters in British Columbia, while Gervais worked for one of the company’s clients.

Forensic psychiatrist testifies at Turcotte trial

Court tosses mother’s concerns over review into visits given to abusive dad VANCOUVER — A government-led review of the actions of British Columbia social workers who granted visits to a father who had sexually abused his four children will take place against the wishes of their mother. A B.C. Supreme Court judge has dismissed the mother’s application to stop the internal review over her concerns that the process is flawed and that government can’t be trusted. The province appointed former civil servant Bob Plecas in July to lead the review in the wake of a scathing B.C. Supreme Court ruling released earlier this year. Justice Paul Walker found that social workers knowingly violated a court order banning the father from unsupervised visits, allowing him to assault the children. The court heard that

B1 Flames fall to Senators in shootout

THURSDAY, OCT. 29, 2015

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Senators 5 Flames 4 SO OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators can only hope that Wednesday’s win is a sign of things to come. After struggling through a fourgame homestand, the Senators picked up their first win on home ice this season with a 5-4 victory over the Calgary Flames. Mika Zibanejad scored the shootout winner while Zack Smith, Bobby Ryan, Kyle Turris and Jean-Gabriel Pageau had goals in regulation for Ottawa (43-2). Craig Anderson made 34 saves as the Sens snapped a four-game losing streak. “We were due (to win at home). We needed it,” said Ryan. “Obviously the fans coming want a win, but more importantly we need to find ways to generate two points at home most nights if we want to stay in contention and we finally got there (Wednesday).” While Senators coach Dave Cameron was happy with the two points, he was less than impressed with his team’s overall effort. “My biggest concern with (Wednesday’s) game was our lack of energy,” said Cameron. “I know some of it was from bad execution, but we didn’t have near the jump that we should have had based on how few of games we’ve played and the amount of practices we’ve had and that’s my biggest surprise. I can’t figure that out.” Dougie Hamilton, Joe Colborne, Kris Russell and Sam Bennett scored for the Flames (2-7-0), who have now lost three straight. Jonas Hiller allowed four goals on 18 shots before leaving the game in the third with an injury. Joni Ortio stopped all five shots he faced in relief. Hiller was run into by Ryan in a crazy third period that featured five goals and two lead changes.

Colborne got a stick on a loose puck to tie the game and less than a minute later, Russell scored to make it 3-2. The Senators came right back and scored two of their own in 17 seconds with Turris tying the game 3-3 after beating Hiller from in close. Pageau scored in a similar fashion right after as Ottawa took a 4-3 lead. Bennett equalized the game at the 12-minute mark. “We had the lead in the third and you can’t give those up,” said Colborne. “Give them credit, they kept battling. We battled too … We did some good things and some things that

we kind of shot ourselves in the foot a few times and you can’t afford to do that in this league.” For the seventh-straight game the Sens gave up the first goal of the game. Hamilton received a pass from Jiri Hudler and beat Anderson high glove side at 4:15 of the second. Smith took the puck from inside his own blue line, deked Kris Russell and beat Hiller far side to tie the game 1-1. It was only Ottawa’s ninth shot of the game. Ryan, with his first goal in regulation, gave the Senators a 2-1 lead at 19:46 of the second. Ryan saw Turris behind the net, called for the puck and slid it under Hiller. There was no denying the relief on

Ryan’s face after scoring. “Like I said many times over the past 20-something games it’s daunting and weighing on you when you’re not contributing, so you hope that’s a stepping stone to being in the right direction.” Ottawa had just one shot on goal through the first 14 minutes of the game. Notes: The Senators were without LW Mike Hoffman (lower body, day-today) and RW Curtis Lazar (upper body, day-to-day). D Chris Wideman was a healthy scratch. The Flames’ C Derek Grant and D Jakub Nakladal were healthy scratches. D TJ Brodie played his first game since breaking a bone in his hand.

Raider girls have right mix to make run to provincials BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR

VOLLEYBALL

With an attractive mix of rookies and veterans and a 4-0 record versus their Red Deer opponents, the Lindsay Thurber senior girls volleyball Raiders are riding a wave of confidence and momentum. Defeating the No. 2 provincially-ranked Calgary E.P. Scarlett Lancers in the championship final of the Thurber tournament last weekend was the latest boost to their self-assurance. “That was a huge win for us,” Raiders head coach Kirsten DeZutter said Wednesday. The Raiders have six returning players in right side Jayda Aasman, outsides Alysha Halsey and Kelsey Lalor, middles Nikki Thomas and Jenna Hawkes and Libero Kaylee Domoney. The first-year players are right side Sierra Laye, power Journey Flewell, setters Emma Holmes and Hailey Lalor, outside Lauren Pasiuk and middle Kallie Loewen. “This year we’ve been relying quite heavily on the experience of our players from last year’s team,” said DeZutter. “But we also have two Grade 10 setters so we’ve had to throw them into the mix because we graduated two setters last year. “They’ve logged a lot of playing time and are really performing well. We’re very pleased with how it’s been going for them so far.” The Raiders always set their sights high and this year is no different, particularly after losing to Hunting Hills in the 2014 zone final and failing to get to the provincials. “Last year we definitely had a lot

of youth with three Grade 10 players,” said DeZutter. “We always hope to be competitive provincially, but this is a big year for us. It’s been a successful season so far and we’re hoping to continue.” The Raiders are undefeated after playing the Hunting Hills Lightning and Notre Dame Cougars home and away twice, with the first two matches labeled as ‘developmental’ and the final two determining the standings for the zone playoffs, set to start next week. Thurber has also excelled in tournament play, winning gold at the Red Deer College Fall Classic and bronze in each of the University of Alberta and Edmonton Harry Ainlay tourneys. The Raiders are currently ranked sixth among Alberta 4A teams, behind top-ranked Calgary William Aberhart, E.P. Scarlett, Edmonton Jasper Place, Harry Ainlay and Calgary Sir Winston Churchill. The Notre Dame Cougars are ranked ninth. The rankings, of course, are not the be-all and end-all; the Raiders are cognizant of their potential after defeating Scarlett last weekend. “I have huge faith in my team and a strong belief that we’re heading in the right direction,” said DeZutter. “Our zone is extremely strong and ultimately our goal is to get to provincials. “We believe we can compete provincially but we’re not looking ahead. We know that we have teams to beat right here in Central Alberta and that is our main focus.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Royals 7 Mets 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Following the final out, after Johnny Cueto completed his two-hitter, several hundred fans remained in Kauffman Stadium, wanting one more look at the Kansas City Royals. The next time they see Eric Hosmer and his teammates may be in a parade. After smothering the Mets 7-1 Wednesday night with Cueto and their pesky offence, the Royals have a 2-0 World Series lead and can capture their first title since 1985 when play resumes at New York’s Citi Field this weekend. Hosmer thought about Kansas City’s seven-game loss to the Giants in 2014. “There’s still a lot of work yet to do,” he said. “Last year we took a 2-1 lead in San Francisco and were feeling pretty good about ourselves.” Kansas City wore down Jacob deGrom with persistence and prowess, then pounced. Hosmer hit a tiebreaking, two-run single with two outs in a four-run fifth inning that included 14 foul balls. Nineteen hours after Hosmer’s sacrifice fly won a 14-inning thriller, Cueto varied his delivery with occasional quick pitches and kept the Mets off balance. An excited crowd stood on its feet for long stretches to cheer on the rainy night. Some fans wore wigs resembling Cueto’s long, dark dreadlocks — including the Royals’ mascot, Slugerrr. The teams take Thursday off then New York’s Citi Field hosts its first Series game Friday, when rookie Noah Syndergaard starts for the Mets and Yordano Ventura for the Royals. Forty-one of the 51 teams to take 2-0 leads in best-of-seven World Series have gone on to win the title, including nine straight since Atlanta stumbled against the New York Yankees in 1996. Kansas City had the best contact hitters in the major leagues this season, missing on just 19.7 per cent of swings, according to STATS. The Dodgers and Cubs swung and missed 58 times in deGrom’s first three post-season outings, but he got just three swings and misses against the Royals — his career low. “We don’t swing and miss,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We find ways to just keep putting the ball in play until you find holes.” Of deGrom’s 94 pitches, 23 were fouled off by the Royals. “I told Jake not everything has to be a strike,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “You’ve got to move it around.

>>>>

You’ve got to change speeds, give them something to look at. If you continue to pound the strike zone, they’re going to put it in play, and that’s what they did.” Cueto has struggled on the road, where opposing fans taunt him by repeating his name in a sing-song voice. But since the Royals acquired the freeagent-to-be from Cincinnati in July, he’s been Johnny on the spot at Kauffman Stadium. He pitched two-hit ball over eight innings to win Game 5 of the Division Series against Houston, and Kansas City lined up its Series rotation to have Cueto starting Games 2 and 6 at home. Cueto struck out four and walked three in the low-hit Series complete game by an AL pitcher since Boston’s Jim Lonborg threw a one-hitter against St. Louis in 1967. Both New York hits were soft singles by Lucas Duda, an infield roller to third that took advantage of the shift in the second inning and an opposite-field RBI single to left in the fourth. Cueto let loose some emotion at the end of the eighth inning, when Alcides Escobar made a nifty play to retire Juan Lagares for the final out. As Escobar sprinted past him, Cueto exchanged a flamboyant high five with the shortstop. After Yoenis Cespedes flied to centre for the final out, Cueto pointed to the sky and was congratulated by catcher Salvador Perez. Cueto pitched the first Series complete game by an AL pitcher since Minnesota’s Jack Morris won Game 7 against Atlanta in 1991. “That’s what they brought me here for, was to help win a World Series,” Cueto said. DeGrom, 3-0 in the post-season coming in, allowed four runs, six hits and three walks over five innings in a hairy matchup of pitchers with contrasting long locks. Pitching with seven days’ rest, deGrom held Kansas City to one hit through four innings but got in trouble in the fifth, when he walked Alex Gordon on a 3-2 slider leading off. Alex Rios followed with a single and Escobar fouled off a pair of bunt attempts before driving an 0-2 slider up the middle for a tying single. Ben Zobrist’s grounder advanced the runners, and Lorenzo Cain fouled off four pitches before a flyout to short centre. Hosmer singled off the mound into centre field for a 3-1 lead, and Kendrys Morales’ singled in another run. Gordon added an RBI double in the eighth off Jon Niese, a ball off the glove of shortstop Wilmer Flores.

Raptors rally to down Pacers in opener BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Raptors 106 Pacers 99 TORONTO — DeMar DeRozan and the Toronto Raptors started slowly before rallying in the second half for a season-opening win over the Indiana Pacers. DeRozan had 25 points as Toronto rallied from a 16-point deficit to capture a 106-99 home victory over Indiana on Wednesday night. The Raptors improved to 13-8 in home openers and 12-9 in season openers while registering a fifth straight win over the Pacers after sweeping last year’s season series 4-0. DeRozan scored 18 of his 25 points in the second half as Toronto’s starting lineup scored 52 of its 85 points after halftime. The Raptors gave the boisterous Air Canada Centre sellout of 19,800 little to cheer about early but had their fans on their feet in the second half, outscoring the Pacers 69-54. “That’s the kind of force we have to play with in the first half, at the start of the game,” Toronto head coach Dwane Casey said. “I was pleased with our defence, we got stops when we needed to but again we’ve got to play with force and physicality to start the game.” Toronto took control in the third, outscoring Indiana 35-23 to turn a 45-37 half-time deficit into a 72-68 advantage heading into the third. “We picked it up offensively,” DeRozan said. “We were getting stops, we were playing good defence throughout the game. “We just hit that spell where we couldn’t execute or get a bucket when we needed to.” Toronto held Indiana to 37 per cent shooting and was 10-1 last season when opponents show less than 40 per cent from the floor. But DeRozan said the Raptors ragged offensive play in the first half felt as bad as it looked. “It felt tough,” he said. “But the coach got on us at halftime and we definitely picked it up.” DeRozan missed his first four shots and finished the first half 1-of-7 from the field. But he said he never lost confidence in his shot. “I could miss 100 in a row and if it comes down to a last shot all those guys trust me to take it,” he said. “I’m still confident like I’ve made 100 in a row taking that last shot. “I’ve grown when it comes to situations like that feeling more comfortable.” While Toronto led by as many as 12 points in the fourth the game was

Indiana made it a one-point game on Paul George’s basket but he missed the ensuing free throw with 1:13 to play. DeRozan’s jumper with 50.8 seconds gave Toronto a three-point cushion before DeMarre Carroll’s free throw with 27.1 seconds remaining gave the Raptors a 103-97 advantage. DeRozan’s two free throws with 15 seconds remaining cemented the victory. Kyle Lowry had 23 points for Toronto while Valanciunas added 21 points. Casey pulled to within a win of Sam Mitchell’s team record of 156 coaching victories. He can tie Mitchell’s mark

Friday night when the Raptors visit the Boston Celtics. George Hill led Indiana with 19 points while C.J. Miles added 18 points. George, coming off of a major leg injury that limited him to only six games last season, scored 17 points. “I felt great, the best I have all pre-season,” George said. “Just maybe over-excited and couldn’t get into a rhythm early.” Pacers coach Frank Vogel was pleased with George’s play. “I thought he continued to try and make plays,” he said. “I had to encourage him to still be aggressive and just make the smart plays and believe the next shot is going in.

“I thought he did that and was still able to get eight assists.” A Lowry basket and DeRozan free throw cut Indiana’s half-time lead to 45-37 after Toronto fell behind by as many as 16 points in the quarter. Offensively the Raptors struggled, shooting just 37 per cent from the field and 46.7 per cent from the free-throw line as only Valanciunas (12 points, six-ofeight shooting) held a hot hand. Rodney Stuckey led the Pacers with 12 points. Toronto didn’t help itself at the free-throw line, either, making just 7-of-15 shots while Indiana was 9-of-10 in the half.

Lions find their running Eskimos close in on clinching top spot in West Division game at the right time SURREY, B.C. — After an especially poor rushing performance earlier this season, B.C. Lions centre Jason Foster personally apologized to running back Andrew Harris. As the leader of the offensive line, Foster took full responsibility and promised to do everything in his power to get things right. “It was terrible, it was pathetic, it was embarrassing, and it starts with me,” Foster said after Wednesday’s rain-soaked practice. “I told him: ‘Andrew, I’m sorry. That will never happen again.”’ Harris rushed for just two yards in an overtime loss to the Edmonton Eskimos on Oct. 17 before the Lions put it all together on the ground in last week’s 40-13 thumping of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, especially late. Harris ran 16 times for 119 yards, including 82 yards in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. “Any time you don’t get touched for five, six yards and you’re able to make someone miss in the open field like we did on a couple of those runs, it definitely makes things a lot easier for a running back,” said Harris.

MASTERS GRAND SLAM OF CURLING

Gushue, McEwen, Homan undefeated BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TRURO, N.S. — Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L., and Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen improved to 2-0 in round-robin play at the Masters Grand Slam of Curling tournament on Wednesday. Gushue defeated Glenn Howard (1-1) of Penetanguishene, Ont., 6-3 in Draw 5 after winning his first match of the tournament on Tuesday. McEwen beat Shawn Adams (0-2) of Halifax, 7-4 in Wednesday’s evening draw, hours after dispatching Saskatoon’s Steve Laycock (0-1) 7-1 in the afternoon. On the women’s side, Ottawa’s Rachel Homan won both her matches.

B.C. had surrendered fourth-quarter leads in consecutive losses prior to the Hamilton game, and up 27-13 in the fourth against the Tiger-Cats, Foster brought the offensive line together for a pep talk. “We knew we had games in the past where we blew it in the fourth quarter and we didn’t run the ball efficiently or effectively,” said Foster, a native of East Pittsford, Vt., in his first CFL season. “We came to the sideline after a three-and-out and said: ‘We’ve been here before and we know what’s happened. If we’re going to win this game it’s going to be on us.”’ B.C. promptly put together a long drive that culminated in Harris’ 15-yard touchdown before he added another one late. “It’s all about will — taking your guy and moving him off the ball. If we do that we’re going to be successful,” said Foster. “I’m really happy that (offensive co-ordinator George Cortez) believed in us and we kept running the ball.” Harris has had rushing totals of 119, 118, 117, 100 and 94 yards for the Lions this season, but has also been stopped in his tracks with totals of two, three and 10. Despite the up-and-down year, Harris leads the CFL in rushing with 987 yards, 161 more than Jerome Messam. Homan topped Switzerland’s Silvana Tirinzoni (1-1) 5-3 Wednesday evening after downing Tracy Fleury (0-1) of Sudbury, Ont., 7-2 earlier in the day. Elsewhere, Reid Carruthers (1-1) of Winnipeg scored a single in an extra end to edge Brad Jacobs (1-1) of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., 7-6. Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones (1-0) doubled up Sherry Middaugh (1-1) of Coldwater, Ont., 10-5, and Edmonton’s Val Sweeting (1-0) toppled Winnipeg’s Kerri Einarson (1-1) 7-4.

CFL PICKS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The race for first place in the West Division might already be over by the time Mike Reilly and the Edmonton Eskimos take the field this weekend. The Eskimos (13-4) can clinch top spot — and the right to host the West final — with a win Sunday over the Montreal Alouettes (6-10). But Edmonton would also cement first if the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2-14) upset the Calgary Stampeders (12-5) on Saturday. Edmonton has won seven straight since Reilly returned as the starter Sept. 12, leading his team to a 27-16 home victory over the Stampeders. Reilly and Co. clinched the season series with a 15-11 road win over Calgary on Oct. 10. Reilly was 29-of-39 passing for 377 yards and three TDs last weekend in rallying Edmonton to a 35-24 win over Saskatchewan. The Riders had stormed out to an early 21-3 advantage. Since returning under centre, Reilly has completed 164-of-254 passes (64.6 per cent) for 1,881 yards with 11 TDs and 10 interceptions. He’s also added 308 yards rushing on 60 carries (5.1-yard average). Montreal has been eliminated from post-season contention in the East Division but still has a shot of qualifying in the West. A win over Edmonton would keep the Alouettes’ quest of becoming the first Eastern squad to secure a cross-over position alive. Montreal heads to Alberta off an impressive 34-2 road win over the Toronto Argonauts at Tim Hortons Field. Quarterback Kevin Glenn threw three TD passes to secure his first win as an Alouette after being acquired from Saskatchewan at the CFL trade deadline Oct. 14. Glenn finished 27-of-35 passing for 294 yards against Toronto, whose lone points came on a safety. Points could be hard to come by for both offences given the relative strength of the respective defences. Edmonton is allowing just 16.6 points per game while Montreal’s unit gives up 18.2. Edmonton won the first meeting of the season 15-12 in Montreal. With James Franklin and Matt Nichols (now with the Winnipeg

Blue Bombers) sharing snaps, receiver Derel Walker led the way for the Eskimos with 10 catches for 125 yards. Should Montreal win or tie, idle Winnipeg would be eliminated from playoff contention. Pick — Edmonton. B.C. Lions vs. Toronto Argonauts on Friday night Ricky Ray makes his first start of the season for Toronto (9-7), which has dropped two straight but finally returns to Rogers Centre. Ray started the year on the injured list recovering from off-season shoulder injury before rejoining the team in September. The Argos will be minus receiver Tori Gurley, who’s being benched by head coach Scott Milanovich. Rookie Jonathan Jennings continues to impress for B.C. (6-10), passing for 247 yards and three TDs in last weekend’s 40-13 home win over Hamilton. Pick — Toronto. Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Calgary Stampeders on Saturday Calgary sees its first action since a 27-15 win over Toronto in Hamilton on Oct. 17, which was important considering the club was coming off its tough four-point loss to Edmonton. Maybe head coach/GM John Hufnagel will provide a glimpse on how he plans to use running back Jerome Messam, acquired at the trade deadline from Saskatchewan. Despite their impressive start against Edmonton, the Riders have dropped three straight and face a squad that’s 7-1 at home. Pick — Calgary. Ottawa Redblacks vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday Last year, Hamilton (10-6) was unbeatable at home but is just 5-3 this season at Tim Hortons Field. The bad news for Ottawa (106) is the Ticats will be angry after a lopsided 40-13 road loss to B.C. Special-teams could be key as the Redblacks have struggled in that department while the home team has the dangerous Brandon Banks returning kicks. Regardless of what happens, who finishes atop the East won’t be decided until after the return engagement Nov. 7 at TD Place. Pick — Hamilton. Last week: 2-2. Overall record: 41-28.

Good news, bad news for downhill team SKIING

CANADIAN TEAM MEMBERS GUAY, HUDEC RETURN FROM KNEE INJURIES, COOK OUT FOR SEASON BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The good news for the Canadian men’s alpine ski team is Erik Guay and Jan Hudec are back from knee injuries and ready to start the downhill season in Lake Louise. The bad news is Dustin Cook is not. Cook’s season ended before it began with major knee surgery scheduled for Nov. 12 in London, Ont. The 26-year-old from Ottawa had a breakout 201415 with super-G silver at the world championship and a World Cup victory. But Cook tore several ligaments in his right knee while training in Pitzall, Austria, last week. He will not race this season. “Obviously bummed, but I always said if I got hurt, I would be positive and do whatever I can to get back,” Cook told The Canadian Press from Toronto on Wednesday. The men’s World Cup speed season opens Nov. 28 in Lake Louise with the first downhill, followed by a super-G race the following day at the Alberta resort west of Calgary. Guay is Canada’s most decorated World Cup skier with 22 medals. Hudec won Olympic bronze in super-G in 2014. Guay took a season off from racing for the first time in his career. The 34-year-old from Mont-Tremblant, Que., wasn’t ready to race last winter after a pair of surgeries on his left knee in 2014. Hudec’s campaign ended early because of a torn meniscus in his right knee. The Calgarian underwent season-ending surgery in January. Both men say they’re ready to race in Lake Louise. Manny Osborne-Paradis of Invermere, Alta., was second in downhill in 2014 for Canada’s first medal on home snow since 2009. A healthy Cook would have given Canada’s men another medal threat in their home World Cup race. “It was definitely in the back of our minds for sure,” Cook said. “I hope those guys have a great season and I think they will. I definitely want to get back competing with and against them for sure.” Guay is further along in his season prep than Hudec, having participated in four summer camps on snow. “I’d be lying if I said I feel like I was 20 years old,” Guay said. “At my age, it’s not realistic to have no injuries or no pain when you ski, but it’s certainly manageable. I definitely feel fitter than I have in the

The bad news is Dustin Cook is not. past couple of years and I feel much more ready for the ski season. “I’ve had four solid camps this summer and no setbacks as of yet. The skiing seems to be going in the right direction, but ultimately none of that matters until you start racing and the racing goes well.” Hudec’s knee didn’t recover as quickly as he hoped from surgery. The 34-year-old didn’t get back on snow until Oct. 8. “I feel confident in my strength and the work I’ve done at the gym, so it’s just fine-tuning before the race season starts,” Hudec said. “For me, it’s not a matter of having a lot of volume of skiing. It’s just being strong enough to ski how I want to ski. I feel like I’m at that place.” The alpine ski team was in Toronto to meet with media and sponsors. Cook was on crutches when he was presented with a vehicle from Audi as one of the top-performing Canadian skiers of last season.

Drogba, Giovinco star attractions of all-Canadian MLS playoff BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The Montreal Impact and Toronto FC have much to be proud of this season, but now they are set to face one another in a winnertake-all playoff. The Impact play host to Toronto in the single-game knockout round of the Major League Soccer playoffs on Thursday night before what should be a raucous crowd at Saputo Stadium. Montreal won home-field advantage with a 2-1 victory Sunday night over TFC, thanks to two second-half goals from Ivorian star Didier Drogba. That moved Montreal into third place in the Eastern Conference, while TFC dropped to sixth. “There have been a lot of games this year, with (CONCACAF) Champions League and whatnot, but every game gets bigger now,” Montreal goalkeeper Evan Bush said. “This last game against Toronto was a big game and this is even bigger. We’re just glad we’re playing at home.” TFC went 4-10-3 on the road this season, while Montreal was 11-4-2 at home. If Montreal wins, it will face Columbus in a two-game, aggregate goals semifinal, while a TFC victory would bring a semifinal matchup with the New York Red Bulls. Toronto, which spent big to build a gifted attacking squad, is in the MLS playoffs for the first time. It’s best regular season to date saw Italian international Sebastian Giovinco win the league’s golden boot award with 22 goals and 16 assists. The Impact, which lost its only previous post-season game 3-0 in Houston in 2013, had a thrilling year in which

it reached the Champions League final, then set team MLS records with 15 wins and 51 points. Montreal went 7-2-2 down the stretch, a run that coincided with Drogba’s arrival as a starter and a coaching change that saw Montreal native Mauro Biello replace Frank Klopas. Drogba had 11 goals in as many games and was named MLS player of the month in September and October. The Drogba-Giovinco matchup could decide the game. “Drogba is one of the best strikers in the world,” said Giovinco. “Everybody knows him. “So of course we need to be careful and try to put some pressure on him. That’s maybe what will determine whether we win the game or not.” While six-foot-two Drogba is an imposing figure inside the penalty area, the diminutive Giovinvo is a waterbug who roams the field collecting balls and making dazzling plays. “He’s not a goal-poacher,” TFC coach Greg Vanney said of Giovinco. “He can create things on his own. He beats people. He does a lot of different things. It’s been an incredibly special season for him and for all of us who have been involved in the league or watched the league to watch him.” Including Canadian Championship matches, it will be the sixth meeting between the clubs this year, with Toronto winning three times at home and losing both games in Montreal. But playing the same team twice in a five-day span could make it a toss-up. “They’ve got some key players,” said Biello. “Giovinco can unbalance a team by himself. Michael Bradley, Jozy Altidore — these are quality players who have played in big games.”

“Mixed blessing because at least I’ll be home to use it, but I’d rather not be,” Cook said. A year ago, Guay’s plan was to delay his return to racing to be healthy and ready for February’s world championship in Beaver Creek, Colo. But whenever he pushed the pace in training, Guay’s knee would swell and pain would return. “I kept expecting my knee to heal up and I’d be ready by a certain date. It didn’t end up being the case,” he said. “So it wasn’t that tough of a decision to pull out of the season and just focus on rehabbing and being ready for this year.” Of Hudec’s eight knee surgeries in his career, seven have been on his right knee. “It’s the reality of my knee that it’s not going to be ideal or perfect, but at the same time I can control it with my conditioning and you know, there’s better living through pharmaceuticals, as they say,” he joked.

BRIEFS

Eskimos sign international running back Nic Grigsby EDMONTON — The Edmonton Eskimos have signed international running back Nic Grigsby. Grigsby rushed for 890 yards and nine touchdowns last year in his rookie season with Winnipeg and Hamilton. He helped the Tiger-Cats advance to the 2014 Grey Cup by rushing for 93 yards and two touchdowns in Hamilton’s 40-24 win over Montreal in the CFL East final. He struggled through injuries this season, recording 59 yards on 10 carries and 16 yards on three receptions, before being released by the Ticats. Prior to the CFL, Grigsby signed as an undrafted free agent with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. He also spent time with the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Stampeders DE Charleston Hughes to miss two games with broken hand Calgary Stampeders defensive end Charleston Hughes has a broken hand and will miss at least the final two games of the CFL’s regular season.

The football club announced the injury Wednesday on Twitter. Hughes ranks second on the team in sacks with 10 behind Freddie Bishop III, who has 11. The Stampeders (12-4) rank second in the West Division with a game in hand on the Edmonton Eskimos (13-4). Calgary is assured of hosting the division semifinal.

Chargers stadium point man Fabiani booed at opening of relocation public hearing in San Diego SAN DIEGO — The lawyer who is leading the San Diego Chargers’ efforts to move to Los Angeles was vigorously booed as he addressed the crowd at the beginning of a public hearing the NFL mandated as part of the relocation process. “Why don’t you tell the truth?” one fan yelled at Mark Fabiani, who has criticized Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s efforts to build a new stadium in Mission Valley to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium. Eric Grubman, the NFL’s point man on Los Angeles, had to step in and ask that the crowd to calm down. The Chargers and their rivals, the Oakland Raiders, have proposed a joint $1.7 billion stadium in Carson, an industrial suburb of L.A. if

they don’t get stadium deals in their home market. Their proposal was announced after St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke announced plans for a stadium in Inglewood. “It’s good to see all of you here tonight,” Fabiani, a one-time deputy mayor of Los Angeles, told the crowd Wednesday night at a downtown theatre. “That’s a lie,” one fan yelled. Fabiani, who works for Chargers chairman Dean Spanos, blamed politicians, not the fans, for the team’s stance. The Chargers walked away from negotiations with the city and county in mid-June. Fabiani said the team won’t accept Faulconer’s proposal because of a “flawed fatal EIR process.” Fabiani has criticized the city’s environmental impact report. However, Gov. Jerry Brown recently approved an accelerated judicial review process for any lawsuits filed. Faulconer’s proposal caps public contributions at 32 per cent and makes the team responsible for overruns. Fabiani has said the team wants at least a 60-per cent public contribution.

Rivalry renews at Skate Canada THREE-TIME WORLD CHAMP PATRICK CHAN FACES HANYU IN SOCHI OLYMPIC REMATCH BY THE CANADIAN PRESS It might be the fiercest rivalry in figure skating. Almost two years after Patrick Chan stepped off the Sochi Olympic ice beaten and heartbroken, having lost gold to Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu, the two face off once again at this week’s Skate Canada International in Lethbridge, Alta. It’s Chan’s first major international competition since taking a year off. It’s also the first time he’ll compete against his young Japanese rival since Sochi. “I’m excited … just for the sheer adrenalin rush,” Chan said. “I don’t think it could have worked out better. It will be a great comparison to see… first of all, someone who’s been extremely successful since the Olympics and continued to dominate (Hanyu), and someone who’s had a year off, and has been successful in different ways.” Chan looked to have gold in his grasp in Sochi, after a flawed program by Hanyu. But Chan faltered as well, and the three-time world champion walked away from competition to consider his future after his second-place finish. He didn’t stray far though. Chan, who said he accepted the results from the Olympics “a long time ago,” skated on several show tours, which took him around the world and saw him perform several times a week. Hanyu, meanwhile, continued to compete after Sochi and finished second behind Spain’s Javier Fernandez at the world championships last March. Chan has eased himself back into competing by skating in a couple of smaller events, including the Japan Open where he had “a banana-peel slip” just seconds into his long program, and then didn’t land a quad. He finished third. “I was nervous and wasn’t comfort-

Canada’s Patrick Chan performs his men’s free program in the figure skating competition at the Sochi Winter Olympics in Sochi. It might be the fiercest rivalry in figure skating. Almost two years after Chan stepped off the Sochi Olympic ice beaten and heartbroken, having lost gold to Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu, the two face off once again at this week’s Skate Canada International. able in the competition environment anymore,” he said. “I have to get back into the world of competitive skating as opposed to show skating, it’s very different, and the only way to get better at it, and to get more comfortable is to keep competing.” He unveiled his new short program — to Michael Buble’s version of “Mack the Knife” — at a minor competition in Quebec. The 24-year-old from Toronto is taking a patient approach to this season. It might take some time before he can reel off his big quad jumps. But he said his sights are set firmly on the world championships in Boston in March. And regardless of the results this

week, Chan said he’s excited to show the more mature side of his skating, honed in a year under the show tour spotlight. “I’m skating with a bit of lightness and a breath of fresh air in my skating, and that’s something that was missing over the last two seasons,” Chan said. “And I’m so glad I’m able to finally identify what I need to do to be successful.” Nam Nguyen, a 17-year-old from Toronto who won the Canadian championships last season in Chan’s absence, is also among the field. Canada’s world champions Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford headline the pairs field. Duhamel, from Lively,

Ont., and Radford, from Balmertown, Ont., perfected the quad throw Lutz in the off-season — they already do the quad throw Salchow. Kaetlyn Osmond of Marystown, N.L., makes her return to the Grand Prix circuit after a broken leg kept her out all of last season. She’ll battle world champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. The Russian, who landed a triple Axel en route to claiming world gold in March, swept her Grand Prix events last season. Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje, both of Waterloo, Ont., are the favourites in ice dance. Weaver and Poje won bronze at the world championships last spring in Shanghai.

Rod Stewart’s son playing to his own tune MAKES A NAME FOR HIMSELF IN HOCKEY, ON THE ICE IN ALASKA BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Liam Stewart, forefront, works during practice for the Alaska Aces hockey team in Anchorage, Alaska. Stewart, the son of rock superstar Rod Stewart and supermodel Rachel Hunter, says he just wants to be treated as one of the guys.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Rock superstar Rod Stewart is well-known for his love of soccer, especially the Celtic Football Club in Glasgow, Scotland. Hockey, it turns out, is another matter. “All he knows is if my team scores. That’s about it,” said his son, Liam Stewart. “I was like, ‘Dad, that’s all you need to know — if we win or if we score.”’ Liam Stewart, 21, is the newest addition to the roster of the Alaska Aces, an ECHL development league team affiliated with the Minnesota Wild of the NHL. The six-foot-one, 181-pound forward was traded to the Anchorage team from Missouri in early October after playing the past four years for the WHL’s Spokane Chiefs. Liam Stewart was born in London to Rod Stewart and his then-wife, supermodel Rachel Hunter. After the couple split, Liam grew up in the Los Angeles area with his mom. He said his famous dad never pushed him to get into soccer, but he still played the sport until he was 13 or 14, when the hockey bug bit him. “I just wanted to play hockey, and that’s what got me here today,” Liam Stewart said during an interview following practice last week at Sullivan Arena in Anchorage. Aces head coach Rob Murray said

from a coaching standpoint, Liam Stewart’s pedigree is a nonissue. “He’s just another hockey player on my team, and he’s got to do what he needs to do to make us successful,” Murray said. That’s good news for Liam Stewart, who said he wants to make a name for himself without relying on his parents’ fame or wealth. When he played in Spokane, Wash., he wasn’t treated differently. “I was known as ‘Stewie’ around the rink, like I was just another guy,” Liam Stewart said. “It was awesome.” Murray said everyone on the team is trying to forge their own identity, including Dean Chelios, the son of Hall of Famer Chris Chelios. “These kids are trying to make it on their own. They’re not worried about who they are or where they came from,” Murray said. “They all want to be hockey players, and they want to do it on their own merits.” Liam Stewart and his Aces teammates are still getting to know each other, and that means the other players haven’t been razzing him about his famous parents. “Not yet, at least,” he said, laughing. And if it does happen? “That just comes with it, I guess,” Liam Stewart said. “Nothing wrong with it. I just laugh about it and, you know, have a good time with it.”

Roethlisberger close to returning from injury for Steelers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin expects Ben Roethlisberger back under centre Sunday against Cincinnati. Roethlisberger isn’t so sure just yet. The two-time Super Bowl winner is playing it safe in his return after missing four games with a sprained knee and a bruised leg, saying Wednesday he’s “not going to get his hopes up” about playing Sunday. Roethlisberger plans to be in the lineup against the undefeated Bengals in a key AFC North showdown, and he practiced in full Wednesday. But he’s also exercising caution after experiencing some discomfort in his knee following a practice late last week. “I think it was more just a pain and inflammation setback,” Roethlisberger said. “I don’t think it was an injury-type of a setback. I just put an extra, heavy load on it and paid for it with achiness and inflammation.” That’s fine by Roethlisberger, who practiced in a limited capacity for three days last week and was listed as questionable leading into the game at Kansas City. He plans to wear a brace on the injured left knee for the first time in his career Sunday. Roethlisberger has adjusted to the feel by

wearing the brace to work out, but he doesn’t anticipate any in-game mobility limitations because of the injury. “I think if there’s a restriction, I shouldn’t be out there,” Roethlisberger said. “You can’t afford to go out there if you’re restricted in any way. That’s why I don’t want to think about the injury, what I’ve had, what I’m wearing and things like that. I just want to go out there and play football.” Roethlisberger reported no pain Wednesday morning, but still wants to see how his knee feels after a couple days of practice prior to Sunday. “That’s why I said that we have to take this one day at a time,” Roethlisberger said. “It’s why I’m not getting my hopes up for Sunday. I’m going to get my hopes up for today, go out and see how it goes.” Roethlisberger was initially disappointed with the setback last week, but doctors reassured the Steelers’ franchise quarterback didn’t cause further damage. “It’s simple overuse,” Roethlisberger said. “The inflammation, the swelling, that’s naturally going to happen. Once I got over the initial shock of worrying that something more happened, I was fine.” Roethlisberger enjoyed a career year in 2014, helping the Steelers finish as the No. 2-ranked offence. They picked up where they left off this year as the Steelers averaged 32 points and more than 450 yards per game before

Roethlisberger went down. At the time of his injury, Roethlisberger ranked first in yards per pass attempt, passing plays of 25 yards or more, and had two 350-yard passing games in three weeks. He was also second in the league with a 75.3 completion percentage and third in passing yards. “He’s a special quarterback,” wide receiver Antonio Brown said. “Anytime you have a guy of that calibre, it rejuvenates, revitalizes and gets everyone excited.” Roethlisberger returns when the Steelers have all their offensive weap-

ons available at the skill position. Brown led the league in receiving yards before Roethlisberger went down and Le’Veon Bell currently ranks fifth in rushing. Martavis Bryant, who missed the first four games after violating the league’s substance abuse policy, has three touchdowns in two games and 11 scores in 12 contests as a pro. “I’m excited because we still haven’t had everybody on the field at the same time,” Bell said. “It’s going to be great to have all the skill guys back. Now, we’re going to find out how good we can be with all of our guys.”

The world that’s always ending RED DEER READS’ INITIAL BOOK, STATION ELEVEN, PROVOKES THOUGHTS ABOUT SOCIETY’S MORTALITY BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Several Red Deerians who followed the adventures of a plucky travelling symphony and Shakespearean troupe in a post-apocalyptic North America came out Tuesday night to hear from the author of the tale. City-wide book club Red Deer Reads chose the novel Station Eleven in May. After stocking library shelves with the award-winning book, giving away free copies and a variety of book club events — author Emily St. John Mandel, of New York, arrived in Red Deer for the grand finale. Mandel’s talk included how her interest in theatre and the fragility of technology, and her research into pandemics put her onto the path to writing Station Eleven. “Illness carries a terrible mystery. Even now when we know much more than we ever have before about illness, about the mechanisms of viruses, bacteria, cells, transmission — we still don’t always know why one person gets sick and another won’t, why one person’s cancer responds to treatment and others will not. There still is an awful randomness about it,” said St. John Mandel during her lecture before an audience of over 200 at Welikoklad Event Centre. Despite her research into the bubonic plague, the North American smallpox epidemic, and the Antonine plague that devastated the Roman Empire, Mandel said she was still left with her “fatalistic kind of hope.” “As terrible as our history is, as a species we have managed to survive. Everybody in this room is descended from a survivor of one pandemic or another. We have managed to hold onto things that mattered to us, to arts, culture, ideas about family through those times.” Station Eleven goes back and forth from modern day North American when a deadly flu virus first strikes and wipes out 99.9 per cent of the world’s human population to 20 years later when survivors struggle along without electricity and medicine. Mandel said she’s heard differing opinions for the popularity of post-apocalyptic stories. Many say readers are drawn to these books because of the anxious times in which people live. “It seems as though we’re hard-wired to think that the world is always ending.” She said that raises an interesting question. “What if it always is the end of the world. It’s interesting to think about that as a continuous, never-ending process.” A New York museum exhibit she visited a few

Author Emily St. John Mandel, right, passes a copy of her book Station Eleven to Lindsay McFarlane of Red Deer after Mandel gave a lecture in the Welikoklad Event Centre Tuesday in Red Deer.

BOOKS years ago containing a manuscript written about 470 years ago got Mandel thinking about how many generations that have lived and died since that manuscript was written. “The world in which that book was written has long since ended. You can’t point to any grand cataclysm that ended it. But it’s gone nonetheless. It follows that the world is always ending. By the same token, a new world is always appearing around us. But too slowly and too subtly to apprehend, except in retrospect.” So apocalyptic scenarios are really just “an unnatural acceleration of a natural process,” she said. In the past year and a half, Mandel has visited about four communities where her book was chosen by community-wide book clubs, and so far has another three more to visit. Mayor Tara Veer, who set Red Deer Reads in motion when she approached Red Deer Public Library to look at ways to help get people reading, said she

hoped Mandel’s thought-provoking literary work is just the first novel Red Deerians will read together. “We know that literacy is the foundation of our educational, economic and social progress. And that while there are many ways of achieving literacy, instilling a love of books, a love of reading, and a love of life-long learning is indeed the most effective and compelling road to literacy,” said Veer who introduced Mandel to the Tuesday’s audience. Mandel said while signing copies of Station Eleven after her lecture, someone told how nice it was to run across people they knew, but didn’t realize had also read her book. “It seems to me that we often come together around TV shows we’ve seen and things that have gone viral on the Internet. It’s lovely to see people come together around a book,” said Mandel who has dual Canadian/American citizenship. Station Eleven was a finalist for a National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award and won the 2015 Arthur C. Clarke Award for science fiction literature in Britain. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Hammer home invader case set for hearing BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF

COURT

A man accused of using a hammer in a home invasion will get a chance to hear the Crown’s case against him early next year. Tyrel George Jackson is charged with an Oct. 16 home invasion of a residence in Riverside Meadows. Represented by defence counsel Lorne Goddard, he elected to proceed to a preliminary hearing before heading to trial in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench. Preliminary hearings are held to test the strength of the Crown’s case before heading to trial. Jackson is charged with break and enter to commit a crime, two counts of assault with a weapon, possession of stolen property under $5,000, operating a motor vehicle while disqualified, uttering threats, mischief under $5,000 and possession of a controlled substance.

Red Deer RCMP were called to a report of a home invasion in Riverside Meadows just before midnight on Oct. 16. Police said the suspect climbed onto the roof of a parked car to gain access to the balcony of a second floor apartment. Two men sustained bruises and abrasions, but were able to push their assailant back out of the apartment. According to police the suspect then jumped from the balcony, landed on the same parked car he used to get up, entered another vehicle and took off. Red Deer Emergency Services treated the victims at the scene. Police said the suspect knew the victims and they found him on 55th Avenue shortly after the incident. Jackson’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 8, 2016 in Red Deer provincial court. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Plans to extend a flood berm along the Red Deer River upstream of Sundre are on hold. Concerns about liability, rising costs and whether the berm will work as planned prompted Mountain View County council to vote to stop all work on the planned project. “It’s not dead, (but) it’s moribund,” said county Reeve Bruce Beattie, of the project that has been in the works for at least five years. The province stepped in with $3.1 million in funding for flood mitigation in the spring of 2014. Ahead of any work, the county hired Calgary flood experts Matrix Solutions Inc. to review options. Matrix’s report raised serious questions about whether a proposal to extend the berm would create other problems downstream for landowners and the Town of Sundre. Addressing those issues would cost at least another $840,000 — an expense not anticipated in earlier planning. “There is potential impact on the berms around Sundre and we don’t want to start, down the road, of rebuilding those berms as well,” said Beattie on Wednesday. “And there are real questions about the effectiveness of the berm, and what it is protecting relative to our infrastructure.” Red Deer River is a braided river, which means it has numerous channels that are prone to shift. Redirecting water from one channel can create problems and higher flow rates in another. Beattie said perhaps the most serious concern is the issue of liability should flood measures cause other problems or not work as planned. Rivers are a provincial responsibility and the province has a number of major anti-flooding projects in the works. “We’d like to know who’s taking liability for those structures (including the county berm) because we have got pretty clear direction from the province that they are not prepared to take any liability in terms of downstream effects,” said Beattie. It’s unclear whether the new government — which made flood protection a key issue in its Tuesday budget — will have a different take on its role. Beattie said the municipality is also still waiting for the government to come up with its regulations for building on flood plains and floodways. The regulations were announced as part of the government’s response to devastating floods in 2013. Besides the flooding issue, Mountain View County wants to see if there will be provincial financial support for bridge replacement. The Conservatives axed a bridge replacement fund two years ago. Most of the province’s rural municipalities are struggling to replace bridge infrastructure that was largely built between the 1940s and 1960s. Mountain View County alone has 260 bridges and culverts. Lacombe County recently estimated it will take 30 years to replace its infrastructure at its current replacement rate.

1995 referendum: 20 years later COUNTRY STILL STANDING BUT SO IS SOVEREIGNTY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — One thing on which sovereigntists and federalists can agree some 20 years after the 1995 referendum is that the Quebec independence movement — in one form or another — will likely never go away. Prominent sovereigntists say their side — the Yes side — would have won if the federal government had stayed away and not tried to help the No campaign, particularly regarding the controversial Unity Rally in Montreal three days before the Oct. 30, 1995 vote. Federalists, meanwhile, argue the defeat of the Yes side in 1995 — and in the preceding referendum of 1980 — is due to a stubborn-yet-obvious reality: Canada’s flexible, federal system works. “There will continue to be a group of people in Quebec who want to separate and we need to respect that and understand that,” said former Quebec premier Jean Charest, who was the leader of the federal Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in 1995. “But the country works. There is the government of the day and there may be the leaders of the day but in the end there is our country — the resilience of the country itself.” Sovereigntist former Quebec premier Bernard Landry, however, says there is an equal-yet-opposite, obvious reality. Six months before the 1995 vote

BRIEFS

Talks derailed in case that left cyclist in a coma Plea deal talks for a man accused of a collision that sent a cyclist into a coma were derailed after the Crown Prosecutor handling the file left the Red Deer office. Jordan Petty, the prosecutor assigned to the file, no longer works for the Red Deer Crown Prosecutor and this stalled talks between him and defence counsel Chad Evans. Evans is counsel for Eric William Petty, 26, of Red Deer. Eric Petty is charged with refusing a breath demand, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. The charges were laid after a July 4 crash near the intersection of Mitchell and 32nd St. Dery Wang was riding his bike to the bus station to catch a bus to Calgary for Stampede. Wang was found by a passerby lying on the ground at about 3 a.m. badly injured. He had been hit by a vehicle while riding his bike. Evans said he and Jordan Petty had been closing in on a resolution, but that had been derailed by this recent development. Evans asked for an adjournment to Nov. 24 in Red Deer provincial court, judge John Holmes granted the adjournment.

Lacombe changes snow removal policy City of Lacombe is getting ready for winter. Council approved changes to the community’s snow clearing policy on Monday. After getting feedback from the community, the city plans to change its schedule to focus on paved trails and sidewalks used by students to get to school as early as possible on Monday mornings after a snowfall. City crews start work at 7 a.m. New asphalt and cement sidewalks added to the trail system will also be cleared along with those already on the schedule. The city has also

the Yes side was at 39% in the polls, Landry said, “And a few months later we were at 50 per cent. “Today, the polls say sovereignty is at 40 per cent support. The idea of Quebec independence is extremely powerful and logical. If sovereignty comes back in the news and we have a good campaign I think Quebec will have its place at the United Nations.” What new flashpoint could trigger a resurgence of support for sovereignty is anyone’s guess, but events leading up to the last referendum were due to several specific failures, explains John Parisella, chief of staff to two Quebec premiers and a strategic adviser to the No campaign. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau failed to get Quebec’s signature on the constitution in 1982, which led to another failure by prime minister Brian Mulroney years later to pass the Meech Lake Accord, which was a series of proposals to assuage Quebec’s frustrations with the federalist system. The country tried once more and failed in 1992 to pass another series of constitutional amendments regarding the division of powers between the federal and provincial governments. “The failure to renew the constitution and to bring about change created a sense of pessimism that helped the Yes camp,” Parisella said. In the end the No side won — but just barely. After almost 94 per cent of eligible citizens cast a ballot that fateful committed to giving residents at least 12 hours notice when their street is to be cleared. That was the previous policy but staff occasionally plowed roads sooner under certain conditions. Now, the 12-hour warning will be observed every time and more signs alerting residents they need to move their vehicles will be put in place. Those ignoring warnings face a $60 fine, plus the cost of towing their vehicle to a nearby street. Staff will try to alert owners though before resorting to towing. Parks staff will clear downtown sidewalks next to city property first, then school walkways, other sidewalks and trails, and outdoor rinks.

“ THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A GROUP OF PEOPLE IN QUEBEC WHO WANT TO SEPARATE AND WE NEED TO RESPECT THAT AND UNDERSTAND THAT.” — JEAN CHAREST, FORMER QUEBEC PREMIER day in 1995, the country came within about one percentage point from being broken apart. At the start of the campaign, however, polls indicated the No side was going to win handily, which might explain why federalist leaders inside and outside Quebec “lacked emotion,” says Charest. Sheila Copps, who in 1995 was deputy prime minister of Canada, said the No campaign refused to allow federal politicians to get involved. “I was told by one of the No organizers: ‘We want to win but we won’t want to win too big.’ That was their strategy and that led to us almost losing the whole thing,” Copps said. A major turning point came roughly three weeks before voting day, Parisella explained, when federal Bloc Quebecois leader Lucien Bouchard took over leadership of the Yes side from premier Jacques Parizeau. All of a sudden the No side was in trouble as the polls began indicating a sharp swing towards the Yes camp. What followed next was either a quasi-spontaneous, massive showing of love for country or an illegal and malicious attempt to circumvent democracy — depending on whom is asked.

The so-called Unity Rally was held on Oct. 27, 1995, in a downtown Montreal square and promoted by federal politicians who called on thousands of Canadians from coast to coast to show Quebecers how much they are loved. Canadians obliged: Tens of thousands of people from across the country converged on the urban square called Place du Canada. The Yes side fumed. Several companies, including Air Canada, offered special reduced fares to Montreal for the rally, a decision Quebec’s electoral office months later said “undermined democracy as a whole … by disrupting the balance in expenses” between the Yes and No campaigns. Jean-Francois Lisee, a member of Quebec’s legislature who was a speechwriter for Parizeau, said the result was so close any single decision could have tipped the balance. “We should have been less naive about the federal government’s willingness to (interfere) in the No campaign,” he said. Copps, who helped organize the rally, said “We were sitting on the outside wanting to help and ready to help but we were to told stay out.

project. Starting at 5 p.m., it will be open for north-south traffic. The two-year project involves the installation of underground utilities, extending 67 Street two kilometres east and 30 Avenue one kilometre north and construction of a modern two-lane roundabout. Wayne Gustafson, Engineering Services manager, said more than 30,000 vehicles travel through the 67 Street/30 Avenue corridor every day. He said the roundabout will significantly improve traffic flow in the area and will accommodate future growth in this area of the city. The full roundabout is expected to be open by the end of next summer. Work on the project forced the closure of roads in the area this summer. Township Road 384 (67 Street east) will open near the end of November 2015. The River Bend Golf and Recreation Area can be accessed by taking 55 Street (Highway 11), Range Road 271 and Township Road 390 until Friday. Find out more information at www. reddeer.ca

OUTDOORS

Aeration frustration The bad news from the Alberta Conservation Association immediately transported me back to the late fifties and early sixties and hearing comedian Stan Freberg’s spoof of the Lawrence Welk Show: “Wun ‘ erful, wun ‘ erful … Turn off the bubble machine.” The initial not wun ‘ erful news from the ACA was that it will not even turn on its bubble machines, during the oncoming winter, the surface aeration that mixes oxygen into the water of 16 Alberta lakes, ponds and potholes thereby creating trophy fisheries simBOB ply by making it possible for the SCAMMELL stocked trout to OUTDOORS survive the winter kills by oxygen deprivation that plague so many of our stocked waters in many winters. The crux of the problem is that these surface aeration systems discharge water into the air, like a fountain, and create open water, a hole ( a “polynia”) in the ice of a lake, pond, or pothole. Somehow, in July 2015, ACA became aware of possible severe criminal law sanctions under an obscure and never used, so far as I can find, section of the Criminal Code associated with making a hole in ice. Section 263 reads: “Every one who makes or causes to be made an opening in ice that is open to or frequented by the public is under legal duty to guard in a manner that is adequate to prevent persons from falling in by accident and is adequate to warn them that the opening exists.” Considering the number of holes that are chopped in ice for watering cattle in Canada every winter, it is

amazing that no charges have come to court. Subsection 2 of s.263 deals with excavations on land, and there have been just enough decided cases to terrify anyone. The courts seem to regard the offence as one of absolute prohibition: if someone falls in, that is proof that your precautions were not adequate. If someone falls in your ice hole and dies, you could be convicted of manslaughter. Suffice that, having obtained two legal opinions, the ACA initially decided that, “for the winter of 2015/16, surface aeration will be suspended while issues related to Section 263 are resolved. It will be doing what it is people and groups do to have laws changed, or to gain an exemption. The ACA assures it is their intent to ensure the aeration program is running again at full capacity by the winter of 2016/17 at the latest. Actually, on second thought, he ACA, has decided to take some interim measures to protect the trophy fishery and fish earlier than that. Before freeze-up, it will attempt to super - saturate all the waters without creating holes in the hopes of increasing fish survival without further aeration in the soft, open winter that is predicted. Then it will keep aerating about half the 16 fisheries with extra, one might even say extreme protective and warning initiatives. Popular nearby waters with their bubble machines “on” will be Beaver and Mitchell Lakes, and Ironside Pond. I am having trouble sharing the enthusiasm of people I respect for the news that Alberta’s Fish and Wildlife Policy Branch may, at some undisclosed time in the future, perhaps undertake a study leading to a Brown Trout Management Plan, but that the introduced species ranks behind native salmonids on the needs assessment list. Frankly, I didn’t know, but suspected from its gross mismanagement in Alberta, that the brown trout did not have a Management Plan in

Alberta. Alberta anglers and their sometimes loved, often hated, brown trout should count their blessings. After all, our native salmonids, the bull trout, the west slope cutthroat and the tiny jewel and anomaly, the Athabascan rainbow trout, all have Management Plans, and all are threatened, at risk and endangered under provincial and federal legislation and nearing extinction in fact in Alberta. Meanwhile, with no Management plan and minimal b help of any kind, the brown trout has thrived in Alberta since its initial introduction around 1924, and now provides most of the quality trout fishing in the province, often for very large specimens. Its range continues to expand, and only five years ago the new provincial record brown, 21 lbs., 14.2 oz., was taken from the Waterton River, where

browns were unknown two decades ago. The problem with fish and fishery Management Plans in Alberta is that the managers labour mightily to bring them forth, then think their job is done by managing anglers with a few regulation changes. Zero limits have not and will not save our native trout, and our managers seem unwilling or afraid to do the habitat protection work, particularly in the headwaters spawning creeks, that would be their salvation. Still, the brown trout, everywhere in the world it is found, except Antarctica, has survived worse than an Alberta Management Plan, especially if the managers know something about the species … a whole other story….

Trees are investments for the future Trees are planted to provide shade, fruit, a windbreak and privacy. Planting a tree is an investment in the future because regardless of the size of tree planted, it takes years to mature. The lifespan of a tree depends on the variety. Poplars are quick growing but short lived with a lifespan of LINDA 50 to 70 years. TOMLINSON Others varietGARDENING ies might take longer to mature but they will still be growing and standing tall in 100 years. Like many things in like, trees are ignored until there is a problem. Early, heavy snow last fall decimated many trees costing urban centers and homeowners millions of dollars to clean up

the damaged plants let alone replace them. While preventative measures will not eliminate damage caused by to trees by nature, it will enable sick and or damaged trees to be removed before they themselves cause damage. There are a few simple indicators to look for when determining the health of trees. Trees that do not leaf out with the others in the spring or have small leaves are signs that the tree is not healthy. Chances are the tree is either diseased or not getting enough moisture and or nutrients. Common symptoms with diseased trees are: having growths on the stems as in the case of Blacknot, shrunken areas on branches as in Bronzeleaf or lesions with sap leaking out as in the case of poplar cankers. Woodpeckers are often blamed for killing a tree but research has found that they attack trees that are already stressed and struggling. Trees with dead branches are either diseased and or old. If the dead

limbs are not removed they are liable to fall during a storm. A new lump on the ground appearing on the windward side of the tree is an indication that an anchor root has been compromised. Anchor roots are larger roots that extend past the tree. They are large in diameter and depending on the variety of tree, they can be close to, on top of the surface or in deeper soil. If one or more of these roots are damaged or breaks then the tree might become unstable. Anchor roots break due to strong winds, excess moisture, soil compaction or soil cultivation. Initially the tree might stand tall but the longer it is left the more it will start to lean until a strong wind or heavy snow takes it down. With the exception of fruit trees, never top a tree or take out the main leader. If the center leader is removed the tree will send up two or more shoots to take its place. The new growth will grow close together with a narrow angle separating the branches. As the tree grows, these two leaders become heavier and more likely to

split in a heavy snow or strong wind. If the tree starts to split, an arborist might be able to use cables and rods to hold it together. Not all trees with two leaders will split, but it is a good idea to check the trees after strong winds or heavy snowfalls. Trees that are stressed may benefit from additional moisture and nutrients. Watering and fertilizing a tree below the ends of the branches can improve the health of the plant. The thin fibrous roots found in this location are called feeder roots. Most feeder roots are found within the top 12 inches (30 cm) of the soil surface. If the area under the tree is covered in grass, make sure the fertilizer is placed in the ground below the grass roots. Take time to notice the trees. They are a valuable resource that are often not appreciated until they are gone. Linda Tomlinson is a horticulturalist that lives near Rocky Mountain House.

C4 Oilpatch to lose $2.1B this year

THURSDAY, OCT. 29, 2015

BUT PICTURE IMPROVES IN ‘16 CONFERENCE BOARD REPORT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Canada’s oil industry is expected to dive into the red this year, but begin crawling back to profitability in 2016 as cost-cutting efforts pay off, according to a Conference Board report published amid a flurry of discouraging news in the oilpatch. The Ottawa-based economic thinktank is predicting the oil extraction industry will post a $2.1-billion pre-tax loss in 2015, compared with profits of $6 billion last year. Revenues are expected to fall by 22 per cent this year, but rebound at an annual average rate of 14 per cent growth between 2016 and 2019. “While Canadian oil companies have acted swiftly, delaying capital investments, cutting expenses and reducing employment levels, profitability has plummeted,” said the Conference Board’s Michael Burt. “However, these cost-cutting efforts should begin to bear fruit next year as the industry is expected to slowly return to profitability, even as oil prices remain low by recent standards.” U.S. benchmark crude oil prices have spent much of 2015 languishing below the US$50-a-barrel mark — dropping below US$44 a barrel in recent days, around 60 per cent lower than its 2014 high. The Conference Board outlook comes a day after the NDP government of resource-reliant Alberta delivered its first budget — with a $6.1-billion

deficit and a plan to borrow money to cover day-to-day programs. “The realities of a resource-concentrated economy knocked down by weak oil prices will thrust Alberta more heavily into the debt markets over the next few years to fund deficits and capital projects while still preserving government-funded programs and services as well as the Alberta Advantage,” CIBC economists wrote in a report Tuesday following the budget’s release. The Alberta Advantage was a slogan during the tenure of the late premier Ralph Klein touting the province as a good place to do business. Just as Albertans were chewing over the latest budget numbers, European energy giant Royal Dutch Shell announced its Carmon Creek oilsands project in northwestern Alberta would be scrapped and it would take a $2-billion charge against its third-quarter earnings as a result. Shell cited a lack of pipeline access to global markets as one reason why Carmon Creek no longer ranks among its other projects. On Wednesday, Oklahoma-based Devon Energy said it cut 15 per cent of its Canadian workforce — about 200 positions — as spending is expected to remain “lower than historic lows for the foreseeable future,” said spokeswoman Nadine Barber. Meanwhile, oilsands producer MEG Energy posted a quarterly net loss of $427.5 million, widening from a net loss of $101.0 million in the same period last year.

The Conference Board of Canada says oil and gas producers are expected to dive into the red this year, but begin crawling back to profitability in 2016 as cost-cutting efforts bear fruit. Over the past year, the company has trimmed about 30 per cent of its workforce, including employees and contractors.

On the bright side, MEG said it’s managed to knock its net operating costs down to $9.10 a barrel, compared with $10.31 last year.

Suncor says it can improve Syncrude performance with COS takeover

BRIEF Devon Energy cuts 200 jobs in Alberta oil patch on lower capital spending CALGARY — Devon Energy says it has cut 15 per cent of its Canadian workforce as the company responds to lower capital spending plans. Oklahoma-based Devon said the staff reductions, completed Wednesday, mean about 200 employees have been let go in all areas of the company’s Canadian operations, including its Calgary offices and northern Alberta field operations. Devon spokeswoman Nadine Barber said the company has significantly reduced capital spending in Canada after completing some major projects such as its Jackfish heavy oil facility. She said the company expects Canadian capital spending to remain at “lower than historic levels for the foreseeable future.”

Potash mine says mechanical issue stopped production An investigation is underway at Mosaic’s K1 potash mine in southern Saskatchewan. The company says a mechanical issue temporarily stopped work at the mine near Esterhazy on Monday. Mosaic says a skip — a machine that takes potash to the surface — had a mechanical failure and mining operations were stopped. The company says one worker was sent to hospital with minor injuries.

Q3 RESULTS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Suncor Energy Inc. (TSX:SU) says if it’s able to increase its stake in the Syncrude oilsands mine, operations at the sprawling development north of Fort McMurray will run more smoothly. “We believe that we can drive real improvements in Syncrude’s performance with a larger ownership interest,” CEO Steve Wil- Steve Williams liams said in a release announcing Suncor’s third-quarter results late Wednesday. Earlier this month, the oilsands giant launched a hostile takeover bid for Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. (TSX:COS), whose main asset is a 37 per cent stake in Syncrude. Suncor currently has a 12 per cent share of the mine, so a successful takeover would leave it owning just under half of it. Canadian Oil Sands has rebuffed Suncor’s advances, accusing the would-be acquirer of being

“THE ASSET RAN AT ONLY 67 PER CENT OF CAPACITY DURING THE THIRD QUARTER, AND ABOUT 70 PER CENT SO FAR THIS YEAR, IN STARK CONTRAST TO SUNCOR’S UPGRADING OPERATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY ACHIEVING ABOVE 90 PER CENT RELIABILITY THIS YEAR.” — SUNCOR CEO STEVE WILLIAMS exploitative and opportunistic. Syncrude has been dogged by operational woes over the years. Most recently, a fire in late August damaged pipes, power and communication lines, leading to reduced output during the third quarter. “We have been disappointed with Syncrude’s performance for some time now,” said Williams. “The asset ran at only 67 per cent of capacity during the third quarter, and about 70 per cent so far this year, in stark contrast to Suncor’s upgrading operations that have been consistently achieving above 90 per cent reliability this year.” Suncor posted a third-quarter net loss of $376 million, a sharp reversal from the $919-million profit from the same period a year earlier. However, stripped of one-time items, Suncor eked out operating earnings of $410 million, down from $1.3 billion during the third quarter of 2014. Oil producers like Suncor have

been squeezed by persistent weakness in crude prices, which have fallen to around $43 a barrel — down 60 per cent from the high point of last year. During the quarter, oilsands cash operating costs per barrel decreased to $27 — the lowest Suncor has seen since 2007 — from $31.10 a year earlier. Overall production rose to 566,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day from 519,300. “Our focus on operational discipline continues to pay off,” said Williams. “We’re delivering on the reliability targets and cost reduction measures we established, leading to the lowest cash operating cost per barrel for oilsands operations in eight years the results clearly demonstrate the impact this discipline has on Suncor’s performance.” Canadian Oil Sands reports its earnings on Thursday afternoon.

Bombardier shares get lift from rumoured aid from Quebec BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Hopes for a government bailout prompted a surge in Bombardier shares on Wednesday ahead of what is expected to be gloomy third-quarter results. The Quebec government declined to confirm published reports suggesting that it will announce Thursday a financial contribution to bolster the embattled transportation giant’s strained cash levels. Several media reports, all citing sources, didn’t specify whether the province or Quebec’s biggest pension fund manager, the Caisse de depot, would buy Bombardier shares or make some other form of financial contribution. The Quebec-based company’s stock (TSX:BBD.B) gained strength on the Toronto Stock Exchange as the trading day progressed — closing up 11 per cent in heavy trading — but still worth far less than a year ago. Government ministers declined to comment on the reports. But Quebec’s two main opposition party leaders welcomed an expected government contribution — either through an equity investment or convertible debt. Bombardier employs nearly 18,000 people in the province, contributes to exports and bolsters innovation. Speculation of a possible joint venture to complete development of the

A plane comes in for a landing at a Bombardier plant in Montreal. Bombardier’s shares got a lift Wednesday after a published report suggested the Quebec government will be making a financial contribution to the embattled transportation giant. CSeries comes as the Toronto Transit Commission board decided at a meeting Wednesday to sue Bombardier over late delivery of streetcars. Bombardier spokesman Marc Laforge said the company had expected the lawsuit given the comments from TTC officials. “Obviously not all the delays in this

project have been caused by Bombardier and we will discuss this with our customer in due time,” he said in an interview. Bombardier’s stock cratered in August to a low of $1.03 after hitting a 52-week high of $4.43 in early December. On Wednesday, the B shares closed at $1.61 with 18.7 million shares trading, more than double nor-

mal daily activity. Earlier, Analyst Benoit Poirier of Desjardins Capital Markets said he doubts the province will make an equity investment in Bombardier Inc., given the 62 per cent drop in the company’s stock price this year. Poirier says he suspects the province could help Bombardier by investing $1 billion to $2 billion in Bombardier Transportation to avoid a planned IPO to sell a minority stake in the rail division, or by providing favourable financing to customers that buy Bombardier Aerospace CSeries planes. Bombardier declined to comment on possible government actions expected to be announced after its results are released on Thursday. Analysts forecast the company’s adjusted profits will plummet 75 per cent to three cents per share on a 6.3 per cent drop in revenues to US$4.6 billion. Quebec, Canada and Britain have previously made large financial contributions to Bombardier to help develop and sell the CSeries, a 110- to 160-seat commercial jet. It’s slated to enter into service next year — about two-years behind schedule. Canada committed US$350 million, Quebec $117 million and Britain 180 million pounds. The Quebec government also agreed in 2013 to provide $1 billion in financing help to buyers of the CSeries, joining a similar practice by the federal government.

The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index rose 163.56 points to end the day at 13,863.16. New York markets were also up after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced it was keeping interest rates steady. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 198.09 points to close at 17,779.52, while the broader S&P 500 added 24.46 points to 2,090.35 and the Nasdaq gained 65.54 points to 5,095.69. In its latest policy statement, released Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. central bank said it would not raise interest rates and was closely monitoring the health of the American economy as it looks ahead. The Fed has kept its benchmark rate near zero since December 2008, a move that has been credited with creating some of the liquidity that has since powered the stock market recovery. Gareth Watson, director of the investment management group at Richardson GMP Ltd., said there are two schools of thought on the potential impact of the Fed’s decision not to change rates. For some, he said, the Fed’s decision to keep rates low means money remains cheap to borrow, making it easier to invest in stocks and less attractive to park money in low-interest savings products. A second school of thought, he said, is that the Fed has been keeping rates low for such a long

Barrick posts bigger loss amid falling gold prices BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Q3 REPORT

TORONTO — Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX) has reported a net loss for the third-quarter, the first since the company embarked on a transformation plan designed to make it into a leaner company amid the plummeting price of bullion. The Toronto-based gold miner after markets closed Wednesday that it lost US$264 million, or 23 cents a share, in the quarter, compared with a profit of US$125 million, or 11 cents per share, in the same period last year. Barrick, which reports in American dollars, said in its last quarterly report that it was slashing its dividend by 60 per cent and would put some of its mines up for sale as part of nearly $2 billion in cuts. The company said in its latest report that it made an adjusted profit of

$131 million in the quarter, down from $253 million in the third quarter of last year. Barrick took a $455-million impairment change related to its Zaldivar mine, offset by a $52-million gain from the sale of its Cowal mine and 50 per cent of its interest in it Porgera project. Barrick said it has reduced its debt load by 15 per cent in the first three quarters of the year, to $11.2 billion, as part of its effort to strengthen its balance sheet in the face of declining gold prices. Barrick’s average realized gold price in the quarter was US$1,125, compared with US$1,285 in the third quarter of 2014.

U.S. pipeline-fighters celebrate downward turn BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON — Opponents of Canada’s oil industry are celebrating this week over news they see as vindication of a pipeline-fighting strategy that began in the United States with Keystone XL. Their burst of enthusiasm was prompted by news that Shell was shuttering an 80,000-barrel-a-day project — and specifically citing the lack of pipeline infrastructure as part of the reason. That announcement prompted a congratulatory message from a political activist who began organizing Nebraska ranchers opposed to Keystone XL five years ago. Jane Kleeb emailed ranchers Wednesday to say their work against the Alberta-to-Texas project was having a ripple effect across the continent, with the expansion of the Alberta oilsands now in doubt. “Turns out fighting Keystone XL with all the might of small and large groups in U.S.A. and in Canada is working,” Kleeb wrote. “Not only to stop Keystone XL but to stop the tarsands expansion.” Kleeb helped organize the first of several major fights against export pipelines from the land-locked oilsands, with that so-far-successful stalling effort against Keystone XL now being replicated in protest efforts against different pipelines in Canada. But advocates for new oil infrastructure have been able to parry their logic in recent years. They’ve pointed to the ongoing surge in Canadian production, the increased exports, and the dramatic rise in oil-by-rail which actually pollutes far more than pipelines as proof the pipeline-fighting was counter-productive. The timing of this week’s announcement, however, made Greg Muttitt appear like a fortune-teller. Shell’s cancellation notice came just hours after Muttitt released a 40-page report that predicted the growth of Alberta’s oilsands would be stalled — and the cause would be a lack of pipelines. His report for the anti-oilsands group Oil Change International had offered a three-part conclusion: pipelines are almost full rail is too expensive to justify new projects and oilsands expansion is about to stall. This is good news, according to his group. Funded by environmental and progressive organizations like the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Tides Foundation, OCI concurs with studies citing oilsands expansion as a

JANE KLEEB, PIPELINE PROTESTER major climate liability. One that appeared in the journal Nature concluded that to avoid a disastrous temperature increase of 2 degrees C, the vast majority of proven oil reserves need to remain untapped — including 85 per cent of the oilsands. Shell’s announcement proved his report right, Muttitt said. “That was a very significant confirmation of our analysis. And fortunate timing, from our standpoint,” he said, crediting activists for the antipipeline movement of recent years. An energy economist agrees the pace of oilsands expansion is in doubt. But he argues that other market forces are playing a starring role in this production. The pipeline-fighters, he argues, can claim a cameo appearance at best. “It’s taking credit for something they are influencing, but not responsible for,” said Michal Moore of the University of Calgary. “It’ll be the price of oil. And (it’ll be) the fact that the world appetite for oil has slacked off and there are a lot of other places producing oil today: Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, down in Indonesia, it’s available from so many different places in a lighter, sweeter characteristic that it’s just hard for Canadian heavy oil to compete, other than at the margin.” Research from other energy economists also suggests oil prices are a make-or-break factor in total output. The study for the international Deep Decarbonization project examined two scenarios, based on price. Both scenarios showed Canadian production increasing into the 2030s. But they levelled off at vastly different amounts: at a long-term price of more than $100 a barrel, they predicted more than six million barrels per day of production from Canada. At under $70 a barrel, production would still grow a bit but stall at four million barrels per day.

Chicago approves Lucas’ museum plan LUCAS MUSEUM OF NARRATIVE ART BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — The force — of Chicago’s City Council, at least — is with George Lucas, as aldermen voted Wednesday to allow the Star Wars’ filmmaker to build his $400 million museum along the shores of Lake Michigan. With no discussion, the council cast the widely expected vote in favour of allowing Lucas to build his 300,000-square-foot Lucas Museum of Narrative Art just south of Soldier Field. The vote came on the same day the Chicago Bears and the museum organization announced an agreement on parking that will increase the number of parking spots and tailgating spots. Mayor Rahm Emanuel strongly endorsed the project and Lucas’ choice of Chicago instead of San Francisco as the site for his museum was considered a major coup for the mayor, who earlier this year scored another victory when President Barack Obama selected Chicago as the site of his presidential library. But as with that library, not everybody favours handing over city parkland for Lucas to build his museum. A group is suing in federal court to block the project and the two sides are due back in court Nov. 10. Some questions and answers about what has happened and what might happen now that the city council has approved the museum plan: Why Chicago? It seemed like San Francisco was a lock. After all, Lucas was born in California, Lucasfilm’s visual effects division is based in the city and the headquarters of Lucasfilm and Skywalker Sound is across the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County. But Lucas’ wife, Mellody Hobson, is from Chicago. And when the two got married, the city rolled out the red carpet by closing down Promontory Point along Lake Michigan so they could host a star-studded party to celebrate after their California wedding. Then there is Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The famously-pushy mayor really wanted the museum and while San Francisco was “doodling around,” as Lucas once said, Emanuel was getting the city to offer up a slice a real estate along the lake near attractions such as the Field Museum of Natural History and the Shedd Aquarium. What will it look like? It is no surprise that a filmmaker who introduced the world to Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon and a

On Wednesday, the Chicago City Council approved plans for filmmaker George Lucas’ proposed museum. droid named R2-D2 plans to house his collection in a futuristic building. The undulating structure will have an observation deck that resembles a floating disc. But the revised renderings also reflect the battle with those opposed to building a private museum on the city’s cherished lake front. About 100,000 square feet have been lopped off of the original planned 400,000-squarefoot building, leaving more green space on the 17-acre site, which will include many trees, native plants and an outdoor plaza that leads up to the sloping face of the building. What is going to be in the museum? It may be officially called the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, but it will almost certainly be known as the Star Wars Museum. That means there will be plenty of artifacts and costumes from the “Star Wars” films, and Lucas has said there will be artifacts from the “Indiana Jones” movies and other films. But along with props and story boards,

the museum will also include three auditoriums where visitors can watch films and attend lectures and workshops. Not only that, but the museum will showcase artwork Lucas has been collecting since college, including illustrations by Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth. When do Han Solo and Darth Vader move in? Construction could begin as early as next spring and the museum cold be operating as soon as 2019, if things go according to plan. But there is still the lawsuit by Friends of the Parks. The non-profit group contends that under a legal principle known as the public trust doctrine, the city has no authority to hand over the land where the museum is to be built. It says the doctrine requires the state to ensure open spaces are preserved and accessible to the public. After Wednesday’s vote, though, Emanuel did not sound concerned about the lingering lawsuit. “We have taken our step forward and we’re going to continue to do what we’re going to do,” he said.

Network seeks attention with live TV exorcism BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The special will have some pre-produced segments, including stories of past demonic possessions and excerpts from the diary of Doe’s lead exorcist. They’ll show the bed where he was exorcised. The bulk of the show will be a seance to try and communicate with spirits in the house and an effort to try and extricate them. Six TV cameras will be stationed in the house and streamed live online, so second-screen viewers can monitor to see if there’s any activity. Besides Coffey, the cast of Destination America’s Ghost Asylum series will help with the psychic cleansing. Tovay is well aware that even if it’s true that the house is haunted, the demons aren’t necessarily tied to a TV schedule (7p.m. MDT). They may decide to lay low. “I can schedule events, but I can’t schedule demonic activity,” she said. “If that happens, I’m not going to fake it.” Still, The Exorcist story is one of the most frightening she’s ever heard and just retelling that should provide a few chills. She freely encourages skeptics to tune in. “I dare you not to be scared,” she said.

GARDINER Judith Marlene (Majeau) of Sylvan Lake, was born August 17, 1943 in Edmonton, to parents Napolean and Maren (Vest) Majeau, and died October 24, 2015 at the age of 72 in Red Deer, supported by her family. She was predeceased by her brother Garry Majeau and sister in law, Carol Majeau. She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Kenneth Gardiner, daughters Faye (Jim) Peterson, Gail (Murray) Martin and son Kevin (Sherri) Gardiner, her brothers Paul (Sandra), David (Laverne), Roland (Charlie) and Norman (Sue) Majeau and her sister Joanne (Larry) Kluthe, her brothers in laws Bob (Judy), Brian (Pat), and Hal (Sandy) Gardiner and numerous nieces and nephews who all adored her. Her grandchildren: Darci and Chelsea Peterson, Harrison and Lois Gardiner, Samuel Martin, and Damian, Dakota and Dylan Sullivan, were her pride and joy! Nothing she enjoyed more than having the kids around. She loved going to watch their events, from Christmas concerts, soccer, bowling, band, karate, curling, hockey and whatever else the kids were into at that time. Judy loved curling and golfing and was a great swimmer. She was a skilled seamstress, and quilter, talented with various other crafts. While her kids were young, Judy was a stay at home Mom, then she worked for a while at the school and at Razzle Dazzle daycare, where her true gift of caregiver shone brightly. Judy enjoyed her time in the baby room, but especially her work with her special girl, Jody. Ken and Judy made many interesting trips down south, particularly enjoying Lake Havasu and their trip to the Masters. They went on their trip of a life time to Australia and New Zealand in 2012 and recently went across Canada this summer until her yet undiagnosed illness, hampered the trip too much. Judy was a dedicated wife and mother, always taking care of her family. She was a beautiful person from the inside out, with inner strength and grace, creating many friendships despite her shy and private nature. Funeral will be Nov 2 at Sylvan Lake Alliance Community Church at 2pm, followed by a celebration of her life at the Legion. In lieu of flowers or gifts, make donations to the Canadian Liver Foundation or the Lending Cupboard in Red Deer.

Pumpkin bundt cake BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS We’re not saying you should ditch the classic pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving. After all, in some homes that would be tantamount to a declaration of war. And frankly the holidays are stressful enough. But we are suggesting that perhaps the pie is feeling lonely. That perhaps a second — and in our opinion even more delicious — pumpkin dessert would be a wonderful addition to the Thanksgiving bounty. So we created this pumpkin Bundt cake that is studded through the centre with an apple-date-pumpkin seed streusel. And to tie it all together? A sticky toffee-coffee glaze. And because that sticky, drippy sauce is so delicious, our recipe makes extra so your guests can dunk bites of the cake into a little on the side.

health condition or medication that may interfere with these suggestions. • Exercise: High intensity interval training (HIIT) and using heavier weights with slower reps to the point of muscle fatigue. • Sleep: Seven to nine hours per night; treat conditions such as sleep apnea. • Diet: Do not always eat small frequent meals as growth hormone increases when one is hungry. Try eating only two meals per day on some days of the week or go to bed slightly hungry, or even consider intermittent fasting. Do not drink alcohol or snack before bed. • Balance other hormones such as testosterone and estrogen as they both influence growth hormone levels. • Control Inflammation: This can be done with herbs/nutrients such as curcumin and fish oil. Everyone’s body is not created equal and a one-size-fits-all approach to fitness and diet does not work as we are all uniquely different. The more we can find out about each individu-

al’s body, the more likely interventions can be made to optimize their health at the present time and in the future. Growth hormone testing is one of those tests that can help identify differences in the impact one’s lifestyle choices makes on their body. If you want to know if your lifestyle choices are optimizing or impeding your body’s function, or if current treatments you are using to better your health seem to be hitting a roadblock, I suggest you strongly consider speaking to your naturopathic doctor about urine growth hormone testing. Start actively reaching your body’s full potential no matter what your age is. Dr. Shane Johnson ND was born and raised in Red Deer and is the owner of Aspire Natural Medicine. He completed his naturopathic medical training at the prestigious Bastyr University, and is among only a handful of naturopathic doctors in Alberta to complete an additional one-year residency in family medicine.

Patience running thin with roommates

Robber flees and drops gun in parking lot when elderly woman yells, ‘There’s the police!’ PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — Authorities say an elderly woman being robbed in a Pennsylvania parking lot shouted, “There’s the police!” and the spooked suspect dropped his gun and ran away. Punxsutawney police Chief James Borza says police are still searching

for the robber, who approached the woman Friday morning outside the Uni-Mart store in the Punxy Plaza. Borza says the man got nervous when the woman yelled. He dropped the gun, and she kicked it underneath a vehicle. The panicked suspect ran away. Police say the weapon looked like a real pistol but fired only BBs. Police are hoping someone who witnessed the attempted robbery might be able to identify the man. Punxsutawney is about 70 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
