This is the second in a series on the impact of concussions. Local teacher, boxing coach and freelance writer Doug Rowe, himself the victim of concussion, examines how head injuries can change your life. In this instalment, he talks to young athletes in our community who have been forced to cope with head injuries. The series will run on Fridays in the Advocate over the next few weeks.
BY DOUG ROWESPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE
Blake Stillings, Lucas Walker, Cody Miner and Alyssa Dunbar have more in common than most 16-year-old Grade 11 students. All four have had their academic, athletic, personal and physi-cal lives devastated by post-concussion syndrome.
For most adults, concussions can be very traumatic. But for teenagers, be-cause their brains are still developing, the level of trauma can be much more complex and severe.
“The adolescent brain is much more susceptible than the adult brain,” said Red Deer College psychology instruc-tor and concussion researcher Dr. El-ena Antoniadis at a recent Red Deer College workshop on concussions. “Sometimes you may have a swelling or contusion of the brain tissue, and sometimes just the mere acceleration is sufficient enough to damage or com-promise the connections between the brain cells. This is especially vulner-able in youth where the axon has my-elin that protects the axon and that is still developing.”
Axons are the communication cen-
tre for neurons, and when blows to the head damage the axons and the myelin sheath that protects them, this and brain contusions can lead to a large array of symptoms. These post-concussion symptoms can include headaches, migraines, pressure in the head, nausea, balance problems, dizzi-ness, fatigue, insomnia, hypersomnia, blurry or double vision, sensitivity to light and noise, numbness or tingling, difficulty thinking and concentrating, brain fog, anger, depression, irritabil-ity, panic attacks and anxiety.

Brodie Brenna as The White Walker gets acquainted with a regular in the foyer of the Zed Haunted House. The annual haunted house hosted by the Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer is located in the former Sears Location at Parkland Mall. This year some new characters have been added to the cast, including the White Walker inspired from the ‘Game of Thrones’ TV series. About 160 volunteers and several corporate sponsors have come together again this year to make the fundraising effort a success. The doors to the haunted house swing open each evening from today until Halloween.
Health-care staff hold
information pickets
BY SUSAN ZIELINSKIADVOCATE STAFF
Having already faced six possible cases of Ebola in Alberta, now is not the time for Alberta Health Services to delay contract negotiations with workers, says the president of Health Sciences Association of Alberta.
HSAA represents 17,000 AHS workers, including lab technologists and diagnostic imaging staff, who have been without a contract since March 31.
On Thursday, HSAA members at nine hospitals and health centres, including Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, held noon-hour information pick-ets.
HSAA president Elisabeth Ballermann said ev-ery health-care facility needs to be prepared to face Ebola.
“There’s so much work that needs to be done to ensure people are properly ready. By the way I keep hearing from members ... we’re not,” Ballermann said on Thursday.
She said dedicated Ebola units may be set up at two hospitals in Edmonton and one in Calgary, but possible cases won’t necessarily present there. She’s heard that facilities don’t have as much personal protective equipment for staff as they should.
“Every time there’s someone who’s a ‘possible,’ they’ve got to be treated as if they’re an ‘actual.’ If testing shows that they have got the disease, taking the precautions after you’ve dealt with those folks is a little too late.”
Meanwhile, HSAA members are working “inordi-nate amounts of overtime” as facilities continuously run at capacity or higher, she said.
“Either they get a lot of overtime or they’re work-ing short when somebody is away for some reason, including just vacation coverage, which should be planned for.”
She said members have been without a contract for almost seven months and quality of life issues, like the ability to take earned time off when they want it, remains a primary contract issue.
So far, AHS has also been unprepared to discuss wages, Ballermann said.
HSAA filed for mediation after contract negotia-tions broke down last week.
Pro-Anglin supporters angry after names removed from ballot at riding AGM
BY PAUL COWLEYADVOCATE STAFF
Controversy has erupted once again in the conten-tious Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre riding held by firebrand Wildrose MLA Joe Anglin.
Tempers flared at Wednesday’s annual general meeting for the riding when pro-Anglin supporters’ names were removed from a ballot to elect constitu-ency association positions.
When protests were voiced, Jason Nixon — who defeated Anglin for the party’s nomination in a con-troversial election last July — reportedly walked out with his supporters from the gathering in Rocky Mountain House’s Walking Eagle Hotel.
Anglin said the latest spat is just another example of his opponents breaking party rules when it suits them.
“Jason Nixon and his small crew wanted to make sure these people could not run,” said Anglin, who was in Nova Scotia at a government conference.
“What they were trying to do is what China is do-ing to Hong Kong. (They) are saying we’ll give you a free vote, but will tell you who the candidates are that you can vote on.
“That’s a bunch of bunk and our rules don’t sup-port that kind of behaviour.”
Neither Nixon, nor the board, have the author-ity to take names off the ballot, he said. They can’t adjourn a meeting without a formal motion either — and that didn’t happen, said Anglin.
The meeting continued and later a motion was passed calling for an independent investigation of the riding hijinks.
A recording of the meeting has been sent to Wil-drose Party president David Yager, Anglin said.
“Now the party will investigate. I just told the president of the party that it is important this inves-tigation be thorough and fast.
“We’ve got to stop these shenanigans, otherwise it will reflect very badly on us.”
Yager said he is awaiting more information on what happened before deciding what the next step should be. He had not received an investigation re-
quest yet.A provincial director was at the meeting — as is
common practice — and Yager is awaiting a report on what happened.
“I’ve asked for all the material. We have a provi-sion under the constitution that if the people (who) walked out claim the meeting was not properly con-stituted, they can appeal. …”
Likewise, those who believe the meeting met the rules can make their case to the party’s executive committee.
Yager said he has been in contact with Anglin and Nixon and will follow up.
Nixon and listed constituency association presi-dent Ted Bach and vice-president Pieter Broere did not respond to requests for comment.
Anglin claimed last summer that he was “blind-sided” when Nixon, his constituency association president at the time, unexpectedly stepped forward to contest the MLA nomination. A formal complaint was lodged alleging that Nixon broke party rules by not stepping down ahead of announcing his nomina-tion intentions. The complaint was rejected by the party’s executive committee.
Nixon won the nomination handily, 242 votes to 122, and will represent the party in the next provin-cial election.
Edwin Erickson, who was elected constituency association president at Wednesday’s meeting, con-firmed the furor started because Anglin supporters were upset that their names were not on the ballot.
“So immediately the question arose as to why those names had been excluded. The room was very adamant that that be dealt with,” said Erickson.
“The plot kind of starts to thicken when you find out that Jason Nixon, the newly nominated question-able candidate, was also chair of the nominating committee.
“That is quite unusual. I think it is probably un-ethical.”
A phone call from the meeting was put into the Wildrose Party’s executive committee to settle the dispute.

Small earthquake rocks Banff, Canmore in Alberta; no damage
reported
BANFF — A small earthquake Thursday evening
has shaken the Alberta Rocky Mountain towns of
Banff and Canmore.
Natural Resources Canada says the quake hit
about 5:45 p.m. MT about four kilometres southwest
of Banff and about 20 kilometres northwest of Can-
more.
Garry Rogers, an earthquake scientist with the
Geological Survey of Canada, says the magnitude
was 2.7.
He says about two dozen people reported they felt
weak or light shaking.
No damage has been reported.
Rogers says it’s not very common for Banff to have
an earthquake.

ANGLIN: Will run again in nextelection
Erickson said he doesn’t know who was reached on the committee, but they were told to shut the meeting down.
A majority of the 70 or so gathered refused, arguing the meeting had fol-lowed procedures and quorum was met.
“At that point, Jason Nixon and his supporters left.”
Erickson estimated their numbers at 25 to 30, and Anglin supporters out-numbered them.
“So the meeting went ahead and a new board was elected.”
He fully supports an independent investigation of the riding.
“We want the truth. That’s all we want,” he said.
Erickson said the ongoing contro-versies have proven damaging to the party’s prospects in the riding, which was won as part of a strong showing in Central Alberta by Wildrose.
“My opinion is the Wildrose does not have a hope in hell — excuse me — to be able to elect another MLA in that riding until they really patch things up.
“There’s a lot of healing to be done.”
Whatever happens in the next few
months, Anglin said he has made the commitment to his supporters that he will run in the next election. Whether it’s for Wildrose, another party or as an
independent, and in what riding, are all up in the air.

Illegal donations hound PC partyBY THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — Alberta’s Opposition says a freedom-of-information request has revealed more illegal donations to the PC Party.
Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith says documents show the party accept-ed more than $102,000 between 2004 and 2010 from taxpayer-funded munic-ipalities, post-secondary schools and school boards.
Smith says those are “prohibited corporations” under Alberta elections laws.
A senior official with the Alberta PC Association said the party will look at the information closely.
“Obviously my initial reaction is to take it very seriously. We’re looking at the accusation and looking at the indi-vidual amounts and going back through our own records to see if there’s some-thing here,” said PC Alberta executive director Kelly Charlebois.
“I don’t have the answer yet but, as we have all along, we treat these accu-sations seriously.”
The Wildrose has written to chief electoral officer Glen Resler and pro-vided him with the documents that the party says detail 238 instances of improper donations from 41 different parties.
Individual donations ranged from $25 to $4,000 for such events as golf tournaments for members of the legis-lature, PC party annual meeting din-ners and leader dinners for former premiers Ralph Klein and Ed Stel-mach.
“That’s over $100,000 of taxpayer dollars that should have gone to roads or classrooms or research that instead ended up in the PC party election war chest,” Smith said at a Calgary news conference Thursday.
A report by the province’s former chief electoral officer listed 45 cases of illegal contributions to the Tories between 2010 and 2011 from towns, mu-nicipalities, school boards and other publicly funded organizations.
The Tory government passed a law in 2012 prohibiting Elections Alberta from being able to disclose illegal do-nations received prior to 2010, so the Wildrose made access requests to mu-nicipalities, school boards and post-secondary institutions.
In documents obtained by the free-dom of information request, the Wil-drose Party alleges six municipalities in Central Alberta illegally donated to the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta.
According to the records obtained, the six donated a total of $22,187.68 to the PC Party between 2004 and 2010.
The records allege the Town of Olds
donated $500, the Town of Three Hills donated $255, the Town of Rimbey do-nated $12,430, the Town of Sylvan Lake donated $1,987.68, and the Town of Stettler donated $475.
According to the allegations, the contributions were made to party as-sociations, paying for party golf tour-naments, meals, premier’s dinners and MLA fundraisers.
The County of Stettler’s contribu-tion of $6,450 to the PC Party was re-ported in October 2013. The municipal-ity initiated an internal investigation and found the county had spent that money in violation of election financ-ing rules.
These amounts go beyond what was previously reported in 2013. At that time, it was reported that Sylvan Lake contributed $640 to the Innisfail-Syl-van Lake PC Constituency Association and that Rimbey made indirect contri-butions of $850 by purchasing tickets to the premier’s fundraising dinner in Edmonton that were reimbursed in May 2010.
In both those cases, the money was returned and an administrative pen-alty was issued by Elections Alberta.
Smith said it doesn’t matter that the illegal donations came well before Prentice was a member of the Alberta PC party.
“Mr. Prentice can’t have it both ways. He can’t take credit for all the
things that the PCs liked and did like his schools announcement last week and then try to distance himself from all the things he didn’t like,” Smith said.
“He decided to run for the PC party and he has to run on their record and we have produced evidence that they have received $100,000 in illegal dona-tions that have to be paid back.”
The Wildrose party also recently released expense documents from new Health Minister Stephen Mandel’s time as mayor of Edmonton.
The documents show Mandel charged taxpayers $225 to attend a Pro-gressive Conservative party fundraiser in 2010. They also show that he accept-ed an improper $600 donation from the publicly funded Mazankowski Heart Institute in 2012.
Earlier this week, Mandel apolo-gized and said he would pay the money back — if he is at fault.
Smith said Mandel’s offer to repay the money is a good start and Premier Jim Prentice and the PCs should fol-low suit.
“We believe that the only way for them to demonstrate that this really is changed is to recognize wrongdoing oc-curred and the money should be paid back,” Smith said.
“That’s what Mr. Mandel did this week so I think that sets a good ex-ample.”
STORY FROM PAGE A2
Wanted man arrested in Edmonton
Sylvan Lake RCMP have confirmed that a man considered armed and dan-gerous has been arrested.
Cpl. James Allemekinders said that Lance James Peters, 24, was arrested early Thursday morning by Ed-monton Police Service.
Peters, of no fixed address but with ties to Central Alberta, was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by police.
“He was arrested without incident,” said Allemekinders.
Peters faces charges from Sylvan
Lake, Rocky Mountain House and In-nisfail.
A bail hearing was scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Edmonton and more charges were expected to be laid.
Peters was wanted on a number of charges, including flight from police, ramming a police vehicle and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.
On Saturday night, Sylvan Lake RCMP made a routine stop of a driver, alleged to be Peters.
Police say the driver lied to police about his identity.
When police attempted to arrest him for numerous outstanding war-rants, the man fled in a truck, narrowly missing an officer.
The driver rammed a police vehicle before leading police on a chase from Sylvan Lake north on Hwy 20 towards Bentley.
Police called off the chase, deeming that the risk to the public was too high.
Police said at the time that Peters was last seen in Bentley driving a stolen truck and that he had access to weapons and should not be ap-proached.
Peters is also a suspect in numer-ous break-ins and vehicle thefts in the Rocky Mountain House and Sylvan Lake areas.
Investigation rules RCMP acted reasonably in
handling man who diedLEDUC — An investigation into a
man’s death after a violent struggle with RCMP south of Edmonton has determined officers acted properly in trying to subdue him.
The Alberta Serious Incident Re-sponse Team says Marc Andre Fon-taine of Leduc was a considerable risk to the public, to police and to himself.
Acting executive director Susan Hughson says it was a reasonable use of force to use a Taser on Fontaine twice and to hold him around the neck because several tries to calm him had failed.
The medical examiner’s office de-termined Fontaine died of excited de-lirium syndrome as a result of cocaine toxicity.
The medical examiner found the Taser and the control hold played no identifiable role in Fontaine’s death in August 2013.
Fontaine, who was 27, had stolen two vehicles, crashed through a bar-rier, assaulted two people and caused disturbances at two convenience stores.
ASIRT says Fontaine had been seen
in public around suppertime “exhibit-ing bizarre behaviour” and appeared to be extremely pale with purple lips.
The agency says he was acting strangely at home around 9:30 p.m. and was described as foaming at the mouth, gritting his teeth and growling. Witnesses described Fontaine as as-saulting his roommate and then flee-ing.
He broke through a door into a neighbouring residence while the own-er slept and stole a vehicle. He then proceeded to go to two convenience stores.
“Mr. Fontaine’s behaviour at one convenience store was described as a ’rampage’ which included the assault of an employee,” said an ASIRT re-lease issued Thursday. “Mr. Fontaine fled the second convenience store in the stolen vehicle and was described by witnesses to be driving at excessive speeds, proceeding through red lights and driving on the wrong side of the road.”
Fontaine drove to a gas station in Leduc where he crashed through a steel barricade and jumped into a stranger’s vehicle parked at the gas pumps. It was there that police found him.
Fontaine went into cardiac arrest a few minutes after an officer used a control hold on him.

From promises of affordable child care, to the prospect of petro-dollars paving a Quebec road, to Alberta-style prosperity and of more infrastructure spending, the federal party leaders were hard at work campaigning this week.
All that was missing was an actual general election call.
With the next federal vote still theoretically 12 months away, this is really the opening week of what stands to become a year-long dry run.
Here is a look at the previews that the Conser-vatives, the NDP and the Liberals offered.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s visits to Quebec often amount to little more than courtesy calls, designed to counter the perception that the prime minister would rather ignore the prov-ince (and vice versa).
But since the provincial Liberals came back to power last spring, the tone between the two capitals has be-
come more cordial and, on this week, Harper recycled a three-year-old ac-cord with Quebec that would see the province reap the revenues from fu-ture oil drilling in the St. Lawrence River.
Politically, the announcement that the federal-provincial agreement could soon be fleshed out by legisla-tion was timely.
It allowed Harper to stake out com-mon ground with Premier Philippe Couillard in the debate that is heating up in Quebec about the role of petro-dollars in the province’s economic fu-ture.
Then the NDP became the latest federal party to promise Canadian par-ents a national child-care program.
As prime minister, Thomas Mulcair says he would work with the provinc-es to make hundreds of thousands of child-care places available at $15 or less a day.
The federal promise of a national child-care initiative has been made and broken so many times that one would think there would no longer be a market for it except, perhaps, with the Elvis-is-alive constituency.
And yet Mulcair easily won the air war.
There is a reason why the affordable child-care promise — even as it has a history of never having been deliv-
ered on — is never for long a political orphan. Each successive generation of working parents brings fresh hopes to the discussion.
Indeed, if only because the propor-tion of working Canadians in need of affordable quality child care has in-creased steadily from election to elec-tion, the issue is likely to have legs with more voters today than when Bri-an Mulroney first promised it in 1984 or when Jean Chrétien gave it pride of place in the Liberals’ “red book” in 1993.
Still the dream of a more affordable Canadian child-care regimen might have died, had it not been for Quebec’s groundbreaking early childhood edu-cation initiative.
Mulcair’s announcement once again brought to light how the issue divides experts and pundits. But those who actually benefit from more affordable child care are less ambivalent.
It is a rare Quebec parent who would let the province tinker with this popular program without a fight. For that reason, rumours of the impend-ing demise of the province’s universal child-care system at the hands of a cost-cutting Couillard government are premature.
In what may be a first for the NDP, Mulcair’s child-care announcement reversed a historical pattern that had
seen the federal Liberals routinely borrow the New Democrats’ big ideas.
But then, the Liberal trash bin is currently overflowing with discarded ambitious undertakings — including some as recent as Stéphane Dion’s 2008 aggressive climate change plan and its carbon tax.
One would think that the Liber-als have such an abundance of policy riches that they can afford to place ideas that they used to advocate on the curb for other parties to sort through.
And yet cutting-edge ideas were not in evidence in the advance-billed “ma-jor” speech that Justin Trudeau deliv-ered in Quebec City this week.
The Liberal leader reiterated that, as prime minister, he would rather in-vest in social and physical infrastruc-tures than cut taxes.
And as is usually the case when Trudeau speaks in his home province, he urged Quebecers to “again become active partners in the Canadian fed-eration.”
On a day when the NDP was propos-ing to build on Quebec’s experience to craft a national child-care program and in a city whose voters were among the first to turn their backs on the Bloc Québécois a decade ago, that came across as a kick through an open door.

On the campaign trail
Is AltaLink committed to meaningful public involvement?
The AltaLink justification for selecting the exist-ing right of way route in the letter to the editor enti-tled AltaLink has taken great care in selection of Pines route is just one-sided propaganda. AltaLink has just rehashed what is already well known. It provides a little history and then goes back to the AltaLink playbook: State the AltaLink myopic vision, ignore the Pines and city issues and repeat as required.
The keys in the AltaLink letter are route length, cost and the voltage is not being changed. The route length issue is covered by the cost argument. Al-taLink feel they also have an advantage for the en-vironmental aspect but the City of Red Deer and the Pines Group disagree.
AltaLink focused on the Pines letters indicating an increase in voltage. All the Pines direct evidence has indicated that the issue is the power carrying capability of the new transmission lines. The new lines are much larger diameter, are heavier, require larger structures and will be rated for 300 per cent of the capacity of the existing transmission lines at the same voltage. AltaLink is quick to jump on any inac-curacy from the general public but seem content to keep any negative aspects out of the press.
In the letter, AltaLink finally reveal the heights of the proposed structures but don’t provide the loca-tions. The Pines has been seeking this information for more than a year. The structures (50 per cent-plus higher) and voltage are industrial in nature and would represent a significant and negative visual impact.
AltaLink professed to have done “right” by the Pines residents. The statement is laughable. If it was so right, why did the Pines Group and City of Red Deer apply for a review of the AUC decision?
Briefly here is what AltaLink doesn’t want the public to know:
● AltaLink did not attend the City of Red Deer council meeting to discuss its position on the pos-sible route selections. AltaLink only answers to the AUC.
● AltaLink proposed an alternate route that was much different than the route proposed by the Pines Group and supported at Red Deer city council. Al-taLink trotted out an inferior “Trojan Horse” route to deflect attention from the superior Pines opti-mized route.
● AltaLink were asked to analyze the Pines opti-mized route over a year ago but refused. They ver-bally indicated that they would continue to work on the alternate route after the facilities application was filed.
● AltaLink provided evidence at the hearing in-dicating that prior to June 3, 2013, they had selected the alternate route but “Senior Management took the decision that AltaLink will not voluntarily abandon its ROW” and changed the recommendation. In addi-tion, AltaLink stated that selecting the existing right of way route is “required to align with AltaLink’s longstanding policy to maintain its existing ROWs and not abandon these unless directed by the AUC.” A mid-level AltaLink employee testified under oath that the information was not correct. AltaLink has never provided the “correct” information. The AUC discounted the evidence and disallowed an under-taking to have AltaLink provide the correct informa-tion.
● AltaLink says that the cost of the alternate route is $2.1 million and is excessive to move 22 residents off the first row and more than 50 residents out of the 150-metre affected zone. Yet AltaLink was able to justify spending an additional of $2 million (es-timate) to go over one garage in the Cronquist area
while defending the right of way. To say one cost is justified and the other is “very significant” is hypo-critical. Right AUC?
● AltaLink is concerned that the tree clearing to support the alternate route is excessive. I am con-cerned about the AltaLink alternate route but not about the Pines optimized route. Our analysis shows that the tree clearing aspect actually favours the Pines optimized route. AltaLink asked the AUC to suppress the Pines analysis. The AUC did publish the analysis table but choose to ignore it in making their so called “sound principled decision.” The key issues to consider are partial reforestation of the abandoned section of the existing right of way weighed against the tree clearing to support the Pines optimized route. AltaLink have marked the edges of the right of way and are planning to begin brushing (code for tree clearing) this week.
● Moving the line outside of the Pines reduces EMF, noise and radio interference to near zero.
● Moving the line outside of the Pines has signifi-cant positive residential impact and visual impact. These are two of the key AUC Rule 007 aspects.
● AltaLink claims that residents who have lived on a transmission line deserve to remain on one. AltaLink claims that the Pines residents knew there was a power line when they purchased their prop-erties and that is true but they did not buy with the higher power capacity and massive structures being proposed. The proper perspective is to compare the two routes to determine the lowest impact route. The AUC support AltaLink’s line of thinking and have been challenged by the Pines Group and City of Red Deer.
It appears that AltaLink is more afraid of set-ting precedents than doing the right thing. AltaLink seems to be extremely concerned that other groups would use the selection of an alternate route as a roadmap to force AltaLink to provide meaningful consultation and detailed information to public groups in the future. Facts have a way of getting in the way of getting things done.
The Pines Group has filed to request that the AUC pull the AltaLink permits until the matter is resolved. A principled company would voluntarily stop work based on applications for a review of the AUC decision by the Pines Group and the City of Red
Deer. I wonder how proud Warren Buffett would be with AltaLink’s (in)actions?
AltaLink is going to claim that they need to get this line built this winter. This is far from the truth. The line is a redundant line joining the north and south substations, the structures are in good shape and the line is running at less than 50 per cent of rated capacity. Construction can wait. AltaLink just want to build facilities and reap the guaranteed re-turn gift that keeps on giving.
The alternate route would be the lowest impact solution and move the power lines away from the Pines (and not into someone else’s backyard) at a modest cost.
Shame on AltaLink for ... pretty much everything. Shame on the AUC for enabling their behaviours.

No vaping, even in vape storeMy letter is in response to the picture in the Oct. 8
Advocate’s Business section of Northwind Vape.I am confused. Red Deer city council passed a
bylaw not too long ago that treats vaping with elec-tronic cigarettes the same as smoking regular ones: no vaping in public places.
I have personally seen people vaping in Red Deer in restaurants, the mall, etc., be asked to refrain from using them in these places.
How is it that vape stores are allowed to vape in-side? Are these businesses not public places?
And as a person who pays taxes in Red Deer, I wonder why we are using time and money to pass by-laws that no one enforces?
I’m pretty sure that if there was a picture of peo-ple standing around in a cigar shop smoking cigars, there would be repercussions to that business. I think this is a double standard and that Red Deer city council must enforce the bylaws they spend time and money writing and passing.
Especially when the bylaw infraction is document-ed in the business section of the local newspaper.

Magnotta jury watches so-called
murder video CAUTION: GRAPHIC
CONTENT MAY DIS-TURB SOME READERS
MONTREAL — Luka Rocco Magnotta hunched as low as he could in the prisoner’s box Thursday as the jury hearing his murder trial viewed a graphic and gruesome video depict-ing the death of Jun Lin.
The jurors had been warned from the begin-ning of the trial they would be required to watch a video that showed the dismember-ment and desecration of Lin’s body.
They remained im-passive as a copy of the 10-minute video, down-loaded by the Montreal police, was shown in court.
It opens with the New Order song True Faith playing in the background. On screen, a naked and bound man writhes about, raising his covered head as a man in a hooded sweat-shirt straddles him.
Jurors had already been told the bound in-dividual, who appears in the first 53 seconds, was not Lin.
The video then switches to the already dead Chinese student being stabbed repeat-edly in the upper chest and lower abdomen area with a screwdriver.
The camera moves to the head area, clearly showing Lin’s slit throat and blood everywhere.
The video does not show the actual slay-ing, while the assailant, dressed in dark clothing, is not clearly identified in the footage.
Magnotta is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying and dis-memberment of Lin, 33, in May 2012.
Union, seniors, disabled plan
legal challenge over end of home
mail deliveryOTTAWA — Seniors’
groups and organizations for people with disabili-ties are joining the Ca-nadian Union of Postal Workers in a planned le-gal challenge to preserve home mail delivery.
Canada Post wants to phase out home delivery in an effort to cope with a revenue squeeze from falling mail volumes.
The postal workers union said the Federal Court challenge, which has not yet been filed, will argue that doing away with home delivery is a decision for Parlia-ment, not Canada Post.
Union president Denis Lemelin said the agency is too focused on the bottom line and is ignoring the needs of Ca-nadians.
“The reaction was immediate from every part of this country,” Lemelin said. “People — seniors, people with disabilities, the general public — were against it and demand that the door-to-door delivery be maintained.”
The Conservatives are trying to distance them-selves from the home delivery issue, the union said, adding the govern-ment should be held ac-countable for allowing the decision to be made without proper consulta-tion or debate.
Canada Post said it is confident the plan to do away with home delivery “will withstand any and all legal scrutiny.”
Digital alternatives — such as electronic bills and email — are quickly replacing traditional mail delivery, spokes-man Jon Hamilton said.
“The decision to move away from door-to-door mail delivery for a third of Canadian households was difficult,” he said.
INBRIEF Bill expands anti-terror powers
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Conservative govern-ment plans to amend the law governing the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to give the spy agency more authority to track terrorists overseas.
Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said Thursday the extremist threat has become more complex since the law was passed 30 years ago, adding the dangers to Canada do not stop at the border.
As expected, Blaney said the govern-ment would also take steps to ensure CSIS can protect the identity of its sources — a plan that has already rankled lawyers who have experience defending terror suspects.
The bill, to be tabled next week when Parliament returns, would clarify CSIS’s ability to act on threats abroad, he added.
“These tools will ultimately allow CSIS to conduct investigations into potential terrorists when they travel abroad, mean-ing that those individuals will be tracked, investigated, and ultimately prosecuted,” Blaney said.
Under the CSIS Act, which took effect in 1984, the spy agency already has the author-ity to collect intelligence anywhere in the world about security threats to Canada.
Blaney offered no details on how exactly the government would change the CSIS Act, what the revisions would allow the spy service to do that it can’t do now, or how sweeping the source protections would be.
Public Safety officials did not have im-mediate answers.
Blaney was joined at a news conference in Banff, Alta., by Andy Ellis, CSIS assistant director of operations, and RCMP deputy commissioner Janice Armstrong.
Canada and other western nations fear that citizens who travel overseas to take part in the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’s guerrilla-style battles could come home with intent to do harm.
The federal plan to bolster security pow-ers follows a recent statement from the RC-MP that the national police force has about 63 active investigations on 90 suspected extremists who intend to join fights abroad or who have returned to Canada.
Extending protection for informants could mean defence counsel and even judg-es would never have the right to question human sources who provide information on behalf of CSIS in court proceedings — such as when the government attempts to deport a suspected terrorist using a national secu-rity certificate.
Ottawa lawyer Norm Boxall, who repre-sents Algerian refugee Mohamed Harkat in a security certificate case, said he is “far from convinced” the spy service needs the new privilege.
“The onus should be on them to estab-lish the need to do this,” Boxall said in an interview.
“On the public record, there isn’t the evi-dence out there to support this.”
Toronto lawyer Paul Copeland, who pre-viously represented Harkat, said giving the class privilege to intelligence informants would be “highly dangerous.”
“The only way you test evidence, in my
view, is by cross-examining on it,” he said in an interview.
“I think if they pass this class privilege, nobody will ever get at a human source in a national security case.”
Copeland later served as a special ad-vocate — a security-cleared lawyer who reviews and tests the federal evidence — in Harkat’s certificate case. He remains on the roster of special advocates periodically called to take part in security proceedings.
The Federal Court of Appeal said in 2012 that human sources recruited by CSIS did not have the sort of blanket protection that shields the identities of police informants, even from a judge.
In the case of CSIS, this is instead de-cided on a case-by-case basis.
The Supreme Court agreed in a May rul-ing on the national security certificate re-gime that there should be no overarching privilege for CSIS sources. The high court said the security certificate generally en-sures that their identities remain “within the confines of the closed circle” formed by the reviewing judge, the special advocates and federal lawyers.
The court noted the judge reviewing a certificate has discretion to allow the spe-cial advocates to interview and cross-exam-ine such informants in a closed hearing, but said this should be “a last resort.”
Making it standard practice to cross-ex-amine CSIS sources, even behind closed doors, could “have a chilling effect on po-tential sources” and hinder the spy ser-vice’s ability to recruit new ones, the court added.
CONCUSSION: Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries
The medical community no longer refers to these impacts as concussions, preferring to call them mild traumatic brain injuries or MTBI. Each MTBI is unique, and even though there are some commonalities, there are just as many differences in each case.
Alyssa DunbarDunbar received her concussion as
result of a car accident. She and her mother and brother were eastbound on Hwy 42 in late October when a truck pulling a trailer ran a stop sign and collided with their vehicle. Along with the MTBI, Dunbar suffered a lacerated liver, internal bruising and nerve dam-age to her foot. One of the passengers in the truck died from the collision.
Post-concussion symptoms do not always manifest immediately, and can show up days, weeks or months after the accident. Dunbar did not notice any symptoms until after she left the hospital.
“When I was in the hospital for five days/ I didn’t notice any symptoms. But when I went home and rested for two weeks, the headaches came on ... whenever, I would put my head down to lay down, I would get instant head-aches. If I moved it the wrong way, it would shoot pain up my neck and into my head.”
Cody MinerMiner was playing hockey in the fall
of 2013,when he was on the receiving end of an awkward hit.
“I chipped the puck into the corner and the puck kind of got stuck behind me. I was reaching back and I got hit,” said the Lindsay Thurber Comprehen-sive High School student. “My head hit with so much force that my head bounced up right into the kid who hit me as he was falling, which squished me back down into the ice and then slid my head into the boards.”
Miner, got up and skated back to the bench, then collapsed unconscious.
The symptoms started immediately.“Right off the start, even when I got
out of the hospital, I felt different. A lot of my simple motor skills like walk-ing in a straight line were gone. I was really unco-ordinated and unbalanced. First couple of weeks I would go to grab the pencil off of my desk and com-pletely miss it.”
After taking three months off, Miner returned to sports. That was when he had his second MTBI.
“I had made the Grade 9 basketball team at Thurber. We thought I was OK to play basketball and in my first shift I took an elbow to the head as I was go-ing to rebound the ball. I felt fine after it and the next game my coach put me out there and I went out of it again and kind of went unconscious like I did with the first concussion.”
After that, the symptoms escalated.“I had worse headaches than I did
in my first (concussion). I felt more light-headed, I felt dizzy. There was pressure in my head that felt like there was a balloon in my head that was ex-panding. Your entire body feels differ-ent. Your head may be what was get-ting hit, but sometimes my legs would just go numb for no reason. I couldn’t really comprehend why this was hap-pening to me.”
Lucas WalkerLucas Walker’s first concussion
came as result of lineman drill while playing for the LTCHS Grade 9 football team in September 2012. There was head-to-head contact with another teammate, but he only experienced symptoms for two days after that.
His second concussion came as a result of a practical joke, but the re-percussions were significantly more severe.
Walker was at hockey practice wait-ing to take shots at the goalie when one of his teammates skated by and swooped his feet out, causing Walker to fall straight backwards, whiplashing his head off of the ice.
The young forward blacked out. He came to with ringing in his ears and his teammates gathered around him. He sat out for 10 minutes and then re-turned for the last 30 minutes of prac-tice and that was when he sensed that
something was not right.“I had a slight headache and I re-
ally wasn’t myself, missing shots, it just wasn’t me,” explained Walker. “I finished the practice grabbed my bag and hopped in my mom’s truck, and it just hit me, I felt I was going to get nauseous and opened up the window. I didn’t really feel good at all. My head was pounding and hurting.”
Walker went to the hospital the next day. After a cursory evaluation, he was told that he might have a concussion, received two handouts on concussions and was told he could go home.
Things went from bad to worse.“I went home and slept for the next
three days and barely woke up. Every time I woke up, I felt nauseous; bal-ance, speech wasn’t right. I just wanted to lay in a dark room. It was severe in the first two weeks and I just didn’t know what was going on.”
The Grade 9 student ended up los-ing the rest of his school year and was only able to return to school the next fall.
He received doctor’s clearance to return to hockey and that was when he received his third MTBI in a little over a year.
“I was playing hockey again and I was breaking out of the zone when I kind of got a suicide pass. It bounced off my skates, so I looked down to grab it with my stick, when out of nowhere from behind the d-man, came another player. It caught me off guard and he hit me on top of my head. I felt kind of a crunch in my back and then fell straight backwards on my right side. On the way down, I hit my head and my shoulder. I was out for 15 to 20 seconds ... I wasn’t really functioning. My eyes were closed and it was just all black. I was yelling. I don’t remember what I was yelling.”
The hit fractured four vertebrae in Walker’s back. He couldn’t feel any-thing in his hands and his feet.

Alyssa Dunbar Lucas Walker Blake Stillings
Continued on Page A7
STORY FROM PAGE A1
A6 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Oct. 17, 2014
He left the ice strapped to a spinal board and was transported to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, where he was evaluated and then sent to Calgary Foothills Hospital Spinal Unit.
Walker spent two weeks in the Foothills Hospital. When he went home, he was unable to move for a month and was in a back brace for eight weeks.
Then he began to experience a full onslaught of post-concussion symptoms and lost his entire Grade 10 school year.
Blake StillingsStillings, like Walker, had three concussions in a
relatively short period.His first was in the fall of 2011 playing bantam
football. He remembers getting hit and he just played through it.
It wasn’t until two days later that he started to notice symptoms and was diagnosed with a mild con-cussion. The doctor told him to stay out of football for a week or two but the symptoms continued. His parents withdrew him from all sports.
The next fall, he returned to football and in Octo-ber 2012 he experienced his second MTBI.
“I remember it vividly,” explained Stillings. “It was total head-to-head contact. I tackled him and it wasn’t until I got up that I felt weird. I was totally off balance, I was woozy and I took a knee.”
Again, a doctor said 14 days. But the symptoms did not go away and his parents again pulled him from all athletic activities.
By January, Stillings was feeling better and his family decided to go on a family ski day. Snow-boarding, he fell once and got a little shook up. Then he hit a jump and fell. He did not hit his head again but experienced whiplash on both falls.
On the ride home, he knew something was wrong. From there, the intensity of his post-con-cussion symptoms went to another level.
“I couldn’t handle light, I couldn’t handle any noise I was so anx-ious, ridiculous anxiety. The pain from everything, light, it was overwhelm-ing. There was too much going on ... I’m like, oh my gosh I can’t take it. It was like the whole world came crashing down, it was like all of my five senses were wrecked.”
He began to have trouble walking. Every step he took hurt his feet and jarred his brain. His balance was completely off. He had to walk with a cane, wear dark sunglass-es and earplugs in order to survive.
Like Walker he lost his entire Grade 9 year.
Once you have one concussion it becomes significantly easier to ex-perience a second or even a third MTBI. The second blow to the head, which can occur immediately after the first concussion or weeks or even months after can cause much greater trauma and symp-toms than a stand-alone concussion.
“In youth sports, re-turning a player to the game too early puts them at higher risk for sustain-ing a second concussion,” explained Antoniadis. “Second impact syn-drome, is when there is an initial blow to the head or post-concussion injury and the symptoms (from the previous head injury) have not yet resolved, and the child receives a sec-ond blow to the head.”
Miner had three im-pacts on his initial hit, and then another concus-sive event three months later.
Walker, had an initial concussion, three months later a second MTBI, and then a year later had a third concussion as a re-sult of a hit to the head and his head subsequent-ly hitting the ice.
Stillings had three MT-BIs in a 15-month span.
All four students, now in Grade 11, had their lives turned upside down by concussions, and ex-perienced personality and emotional symptoms. Their athletic lives came to a grinding halt.
Dunbar was a multi-sport athlete — downhill skiing, basketball, volley-ball, badminton, track and field, rugby, handball and shooting.
She has returned to shooting but has found her slow recovery hard to deal with. Before the accident, here shooting scores were 369 out of 400. Since her accident, she has slowly regained her shooting abilities, but her competitive score at the Canada Winter Games Trial was 342, and she was eliminated from the Al-berta Team by one point.
As she regains her health, she hopes to slow-ly reintegrate her other athletic endeavours.
Miner has returned to sports, having played vol-leyball at Lindsay Thurb-er. He is not sure if he will return to basketball this
year but knows that hockey is no longer an option.Walker and Stillings will most likely never return
to contact sports.All four have found the healing process for a con-
cussion runs contrary to any other injury they have experienced.
“I’ve dislocated two ribs, broken both my wrists, broke two toes, I have partly torn my ACL in my right knee. I have dislocated my knee cap in my left knee, I have partially torn my achilles tendon on my right ankle,” said Miner. “My concussions would definite-ly be the worst injuries I have had in my life.”
“It is a lot worse,” said Walker. “Other injuries you can kind of heal it and go to school still. You can kind of work past it and it heals quicker. With con-cussions, it doesn’t really go away soon at all, it kind of lingers. With the brain, it doesn’t think right and your personality changes a bit.”
All four have similar advice for any young athlete who has suffers a MTBI.
“Don’t rush back to something that could damage or cause more injury to your concussion,” said Walk-er. “I tried to go back and it really didn’t work. They should have time to just to heal.”
“Do not push your injury too far,” agreed Dunbar. “Because if you do, you pay for it the next day or even a week. You feel fine doing it but you are not 100 per cent back to normal so you will pay for it af-terwards.”
Stillings feels that he was not honest with himself or his parents.
“You have to remember that the only way I knew how to burn off feeling antsy or unhealthy was to go exercise, walk around or do push-ups, which I did. The worst person for me was myself. I was trying to push through it. I was trying to pretend I was normal even though deep down inside I knew something wasn’t right. You need to acknowledge the injury. Eventually I couldn’t even get out of bed.”
All four students have had tremendous help along the way.
Research has also found that Sertraline, a drug normally used for depression or anxiety, can help al-leviate some post-concussion symptoms.
All four have taken a positive approach to their recovery.
“It was a long journey,” explained Miner. “I feel like I am stronger for it. It was definitely not worth-while that it happened, but it kind of showed me that I am a lot stronger than I thought.”
“It sounds crazy but I have changed as a person,” elaborated Stillings. “I am honestly kind of grateful for it. You realize what is important and what life is about.”

Last weekend was Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and the default descriptive position for three blowout games was to label them turkeys.
The term “turkey” is somewhat unimagina-tive, plus the games in question were so bad they were an insult to turkeys. The RedBlacks, Roughriders and Bomb-ers played poorly enough to make turkeys thankful they were on the dinner table instead of in front of a TV set watching these teams on the field.
These were not football teams, they were train wrecks in cleats, but they will be on the field again this week and now it is my duty to predict their fate in Week 17.
The Ottawa RedBlacks visit Hamil-ton in their half-baked Tim Horton’s stadium and I suspect the Tiger-Cats will be terrible hosts in this game.
Hamilton lost a close one to the
Argos in the only competitive game from last weekend and will be in a bad mood this weekend. First place is now a three-horse race in the East Division
and the RedBlacks are little more than a mild speed bump along the way. Hamilton wins this game in a gallop.
The next game is a clash between the Montreal Alou-ettes and Toronto Argonauts in the land that forgot foot-ball — Toronto. This game is a tough call because both teams have found their mojo and are in a winning mood. The big difference will be Argo quar-terback Ricky Ray because he is a future Hall of Famer, while Montreal quarterback Jonathon Crompton will be a future trivia question as in “Who was that guy who played
for the Alouettes while they searched for Calvillo’s replacement?”
The Argos have a chance to put some distance between them and the Als in this game. Montreal will rely upon their stellar defence to win, but
the Argos offence has too much fire-power for the Alouettes to handle, and the Argo defence will have a field day with the Als offence. Toronto wins the game.
Saturday’s other game has Calgary visiting Winnipeg for a matchup be-tween first and last in the West. The Stampeders will still be in first place and the Blue Bombers will still be in last place when the dust settles in the ‘Peg.
The Bombers O-line has been al-most as bad as their run defence and this game will pad Stampeder stats on both sides of the ball. The only way Winnipeg wins this game is to bribe the bus drivers who will shuttle the Stampeders from their hotel to the sta-dium and have them reroute the team to Brandon.
Faithful Bomber fans deserve much better than this team, but they will not get a win in this game.
The last game of the weekend has the Eskimos in Regina to decide sec-ond place in the West. Edmonton comes into the game on a roll, includ-ing a celebratory roll after every sack.
They rolled a lot against the Bombers last weekend, both on offence and de-fence. The Roughriders simply rolled over and played dead against Montreal last weekend.
’Riders offensive coordinator George Cortez has used a high school offence this year and features a steady diet of run in his game. The pass game has been an afterthought for him and the million dollar question is why he has forsaken the forward pass in a pass-happy league? The answer may be a lack of confidence in his quarter-backs, including injured starter Dar-ian Durant.
Current ’Rider starter Tino Sun-seri holds onto the ball long after the window of opportunity has closed and appears to be unwilling or unable to move the pocket. He will face very un-friendly fire from the Eskimos defence, while the ’Riders defence will face a strong Eskimos run game. This game has all the makings of a lions vs. Chris-tians matchup and I anticipate an easy Eskimo win to finish Week 17.

Trio of teams try to rebound after being blown-out on Thanksgiving
Stage set for World Series
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Giants 6 Cardinals 3SAN FRANCISCO — Call it the Shot
That Shook the Bay.Travis Ishikawa hit the first homer
to end an NL Championship Series, a three-run shot that gave the San Fran-cisco Giants a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 on Thurs-day night.
These every-other-year Giants will face the Royals in an all wild-card World Series that begins Tuesday night in Kansas City.
Pablo Sandoval singled to start the ninth inning against Michael Wacha, making his first appearance of the post-season for the Cardinals. After an out, Brandon Belt walked to bring up Ishikawa, who drove a 2-0 pitch into the elevated seats in right field to set off an orange towel-waving frenzied celebration.
It was the first time a homer sent the Giants into the World Series since perhaps the most famous drive in base-ball history — Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ’Round the World” in a 1951 playoff.
“These guys have been through it,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
“They have been battle-tested and they know how to handle themselves on this type of stage, and then add to that the kids that we brought up, and
then Ishikawa. I mean, what a great story.”
Ishikawa knew right away on his first career post-season homer, raising his right arm into the air as he watched his ball sail into the seats. He emphat-ically threw his helmet down to the dirt in triumph and joined his jubilant teammates at home plate as fireworks shot off from the centre field score-board.
Pinch-hitter Michael Morse hom-ered leading off the eighth against Pat Neshek, who replaced Adam Wain-wright to start the inning, to tie it 3-all.
Morse was batting for Madison Bum-garner, who was named NLCS MVP.
After taking a 3-1 lead in the series wild throws the past two days, the Gi-ants used the long ball to advance to their third Series in five years by knocking out the defending NL cham-pions.
Rookie Joe Panik hit a two-run drive in the third inning off Wainwright for the Giants first homer in seven games.
“Just a gutty effort through all this and I couldn’t be prouder of these guys. They just don’t stop fighting,” Bochy said.
Ishikawa was Pittsburgh’s opening-day first baseman, but was soon cut. He re-signed with the Giants, his original team, and went to the minor leagues before making it back to the majors.

Brady leads Patriots past surprising JetsBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Patriots 27 Jets 25FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Chris
Jones wasn’t going to make the same mistake he did last year when Nick Folk tried another potential winning field goal Thursday night.
This time, the New England defen-sive tackle didn’t commit a penalty to give the Jets kicker another chance.
Jones blocked Folk’s 58-yard at-tempt on the final play and the Pa-triots had just enough offence with Tom Brady’s three touchdown passes to edge surprisingly competitive New York 27-25.
“It’s good to feel that ball hitting my hand and it’s good to get the win,” Jones said. “I just played it legally and did all that I could.”
Last season, Folk was wide left on a 56-yard attempt in overtime, but Jones was penalized under a new rule against players pushing a teammate into the opponent’s formation. Folk then connected from 42 yards, giving the Jets a 30-27 victory.
“After what happened last year, I thought it was fitting that he made that play,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.
Folk’s longest field goal in his ca-reer travelled 56 yards, but he had made all 13 of his attempts this year so the 58-yarder was makeable.
“It felt pretty good off my foot,” he said. “I did kick it low, in order to give it enough to get it there.”
But when Jones batted it down, the Patriots (5-2) raced onto the field in celebration of a win that was much tougher than expected.
The Jets (1-6) suffered their sixth straight loss, the longest streak in Rex Ryan’s six seasons as coach, after tak-ing a 19-17 lead with just under 9 min-utes left in the third quarter on Chris Ivory’s 1-yard run.
Stephen Gostkowski put the Pa-triots ahead to stay with his second field goal, a 36-yarder with 4:10 to go in the third. Brady’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Danny Amendola gave them an eight-point lead with 4:10 remaining.
The Jets made it 27-25 on Geno Smith’s 10-yard scoring pass to Jeff
Cumberland with 2:31 left, but Smith’s pass for the 2-point conversion was in-complete. Ivory finished with 107 yards rushing.
“This is extremely frustrating,” Smith said. “I felt it was going to hap-pen for us.”
Smith, last in the NFL in passer rat-ing, had a solid game with 20 comple-tions in 34 attempts for 226 yards and no interceptions.
Brady was 20 for 37 for 261 yards and no interceptions.
Each team played without two key starters who went on season-ending in-jured reserve after being hurt Sunday — cornerback Dee Milliner and left guard Brian Winters for the Jets and linebacker Jerod Mayo and running back Stevan Ridley for the Patriots.
“As a whole offence we needed to step up,” running back Shane Vereen said. “You can’t replace Stevan.”
The Patriots led 17-12 at halftime despite having the ball for just 7:57, while the Jets held it for 22:03.
“When the defence is out there as much as they were tonight it’s going to be tough for them,” Brady said. “We’ve
got to help them out.”The Jets got inside the New England
30 on all four of their first-half posses-sions. But they managed just four field goals by Folk, covering 22, 47, 46 and 27 yards. The Patriots went three-and-out on two of their possessions in the half but made the most of the other two as Brady threw touchdown passes to Ver-een — a 49-yarder on their fourth of-fensive play and a 3-yarder that made it 14-9 with 4:22 left in the half.
After Folk’s fourth field goal, the Patriots got the ball with 55 seconds remaining in the half. On third-and-10 at the New York 44, Antonio Allen was called for defensive pass interference on Amendola, putting the ball at the 12.
An unnecessary roughness penalty against guard Jordan Devey pushed the ball back to the 27. After a 6-yard run by Vereen, Gostkowski kicked a 39-yard field goal on the last play of the half.
The Jets were competitive against a top team for the second straight game. They lost to the Denver Broncos 31-17 on Sunday.

HE SAID IT
“I think when we did fitness testing I had the second-highest jump. I think it was 30 inches.” — Saskatoon Blades netminder Alex Moodie, to Daniel Nugent-Bowman of the Saskatoon StarPhoenix, following the Blades’ 3-2 win over the visiting Prince Albert Raiders last weekend, the club’s first victory this fall which snapped an 18-game losing streak dating back to last season.
THIS WEEK IN REBELS HISTORY
Jared Walker fired two goals and set up another by Colin Fraser as the Rebels battled back from a 2-0 deficit to post a 4-3 win over the visiting Tri-City Americans on Oct. 18 of 2003. Walker and linemates Fraser and Masi Marjamaki handled all of the Red Deer scoring and swept the three-star awards. “Everything seemed to be going our way tonight,” said Walker, who went on to play four seasons with the University of Manitoba Bisons and then two years of minor pro hockey. “Our line was finally clicking and maybe this will get us going. Everyone was contributing and we seemed to be doing everything right. I just think it was our time. We’ve been playing hard all year but today it just seemed like everything kept on going our way.” The win gave the Rebels at 5-7-3 record and moved them into third place in the Central Division.
WHO’S HOT
Victoria Royals LW Austin Carroll has scored once in each of his last eight games. The 20-year-old, six-foot-three, 214-pound Calgary Flames prospect — a native of Scottdale, Ariz. — is the Royals’ leading scorer with 14 points (8g,6a) in nine games this season.

Central Alberta is a virtual hockey hotbed, an area of the country that produces quality players on a consistent basis.
Many of the young athletes who perform to a high degree of success in minor hockey move on to play at the junior A lev-el, but the WHL also features a proportionally large number of Central Alberta natives.
Included on the ledger are three members of the Red Deer Rebels — homegrowns Scott Feser, Kolton Dixon and Jeff de Wit. The remainder of the list includes:
Tyler Steenbergen, Swift Current BroncosThe 16-year-old Broncos
rookie and Sylvan Lake na-tive starred with the Red Deer midget AAA Optimist Chiefs last winter, collecting 31 points (14g,17a) in 32 regular-season games.
He also excelled in major bantam hockey with the Red Deer Rebels Black and White squads and was the Broncos’ first-round draft pick in 2013. The slight (five-foot-ten, 161 pounds) but highly-skilled cen-tre has one goal in 12 games with Swift Current this season.
Logan Fisher, Victoria RoyalsThe 19-year-old Red Deer
product is in his third full sea-son with the Royals. More of a defensive specialist than an of-fensive threat, Fisher is an al-ternate captain with the team this season and has scored once and collected four points in 11 games.
The six-foot-two, 194-pound centre put up 31 points (12-19) in his lone season (2011-12) with the midget AAA Optimist Chiefs, then earned full-time employment with the Royals.
Zane Jones, Lethbridge HurricanesThe Olds native is with his
fifth WHL team, although he played just one game with the
Chilliwack Bruins in 2010-11 prior to the franchise relocating to Victoria and becoming the Royals.
The former Red Deer White major bantam player and Leduc midget AAA performer suited up with the Royals, Calgary Hit-men and Everett Silvertips be-fore joining the ‘Canes from the ‘Tips in a late September trade.
At six-foot-three and 210 pounds, the 20-year-old Jones plays a heavy game but he can also find the back of the net, as he proved during his 44-point (21-13) 2012-13 season with the Hitmen.
Jordan Steenbergen, Kootenay IceSteenbergen, 18, has been in
and out of the Ice lineup since joining the club last season. The six-foot, 192-pound rearguard played 49 regular-season con-tests last winter — collecting three assists and recording 59 penalty minutes — and is point-less with 18 PIMs in seven out-ings this fall.
The Sylvan Lake native was a hit with the major bantam Rebels Black and midget AAA Optimist Chiefs and was a third-round pick of the Ice in the 2011 bantam draft.
Andrew Nielsen, Lethbridge HurricanesThe large (six-three, 209
pounds) defenceman cracked the Hurricanes roster this fall as a 17-year-old.
Born and raised in Red Deer, Nielsen played at the AA and major bantam levels, and minor midget AAA and midget AAA levels in his hometown over the past five seasons.
He was a two-way force with the Optimist Chiefs last winter, scoring three goals and putting up 18 points, and has a single assist and eight penalty minutes in six games with the ‘Canes.
Dallas Valentine, Moose Jaw WarriorsFrom the small town of Lou-
sana, 45 km southeast of Red Deer, Valentine played one sea-son of minor midget AAA hock-ey in Red Deer, then suited up
with the midget AAA Leduc Oil Kings in 2012-13.
The six-foot-three, 195-pound blueliner had a tryout with the New York Rangers in Septem-ber and was then returned to the Warriors for his second full WHL season. He chipped in with 14 points, including three goals, in 69 games with Moose Jaw last winter and has two as-sists in seven games this fall.
Mike Winther, Kamloops BlazersWinther was traded from the
Prince Albert Raiders to the Calgary Hitmen last season and was then dealt to the Blazers three weeks ago.
With three goals and eight points in his first nine games with his new team, the overage centre is attempting to resur-rect what was once a promising WHL career. The Trochu native was selected by the Dallas Stars in the second round of the 2012 NHL entry draft after scoring 32 goals with the Raiders. He fell off to 22 goals the following season and then appeared in only 31 games with the Raiders and Hitmen last winter — scor-ing seven goals and recording 26 points — due to injury.
Colton Bobyk, Spokane ChiefsThe 18-year-old defence-
man played tier 2 bantam in his hometown of Rimbey before taking his act to Red Deer for his major bantam and midget AAA seasons stretching from 2010 into the spring of last year.
The six-two, 190-pounder can play a physical game and is an excellent skater with a heavy shot. Bobyk was an AMHL all-star with the Optimist Chiefs in 2012-13, garnering 32 points (8-24) in 31 regular-season games and another 15 (4-11) in 10 post-season outings.
Sidelined another one to two weeks with a lower-body injury, Bobyk has yet to suit up with the Chiefs this season. He had 12 points (5-7) and 62 penalty minutes in his rookie year.
Layne Bensmiller, Calgary HitmenThe 17-year-old winger had
a strong training camp with the Hitmen last year, then scored 11 goals and added 15 assists in 35 games with the midget AAA Optimist Chiefs and carried that momentum into this year’s WHL camp.
Central Alberta continues to
produce quality WHL players
“It gets late early out there.”Former Yankees great and
accidental linguist Yogi Berra was referring to the adverse sun conditions in left field at Yan-kee Stadium when he offered up that wonderful quote.
He may as well have been reflect-ing on the Red Deer Rebels and their start to the current WHL season. The Rebels are a mere nine games into the 2014-15 campaign, but suddenly, with a 3-5-1-0 record, to-night’s outing in Saskatoon and Sat-urday’s contest at Prince Albert have t a k e n o n e x t r a meaning.
The Rebels, quite simply, have to turn it around sooner than later or the season will slip away in a hurry.
“We can’t sit back. We have to get going,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter. “We have to start putting some wins together. The good thing about is all teams are still in the pack. Now we have to make a big push.”
If and when the Rebels get
on some sort of a winning roll, they’ll be playing tighter defen-sively, they’ll exhibit a more consistent work ethic and they’ll be getting better goaltending.
Sutter is careful not to lay too much fault on the club’s goalies, although with better netminding the Reb-els would have six wins instead of a half dozen setbacks. The Rebels’ goaltending has, to varying de-grees, been a factor in three games — all losses.
The club entered the season fully aware that the posi-tion could be a sore spot, with returnee Taz Burman having all of 17 major junior
games under his belt and Rylan Toth coming out of the midget AAA ranks as a raw WHL rook-ie. So far, not so good.
That being said, Toth, who looks like the man who will have to carry most of the load, doesn’t need the extra pres-sure of having the bench boss in his ear. The Rebels don’t need a goaltender who’s under the gun mentally; they need more consistency from their puck
stopper(s), and that will come with confidence gained from putting together a handful of solid starts.
But consistency is a word that’s been foreign to the club this fall. One minute they’re fill-ing the net of a top team, the next minute the opponent is turning the tables and filling the Red Deer net.
In their last two outings, both on home ice, the Rebels blew leads of 4-1 and (gulp) 4-0, losing both times. In the first game of their recent three-game home-stand, Red Deer surrendered three late goals and lost 5-1 to visiting Medicine Hat.
“It’s funny how it is, we’ve shown signs of being two dif-ferent teams — a team that can play with the best in the league and a team, that when we don’t do things right and don’t stay with it . . . we fall off.
“That’s what’s been the dis-appointing part of it for us, and I’ve said it before — we’re a young team still, but we’re an experienced team because most of the guys were here last year.”
Sutter is also waiting on captain Conner Bleackley and defenceman Haydn Fleury to round into form after both first-round NHL draft picks attended pro camps in the fall. Bleackley
was the Rebels top forward last season and is expected to fill that role a year later, and Fleu-ry is a top-pairing performer.
“It’s really important that the experience and leadership comes out of this group,” said Sutter, who wants to see more from a handful of veteran skat-ers, not just Bleackley and Fl-eury.
He’s confident that he now has the pulse of the team and that better times are just ahead.
“If this kind of stuff has to go on, it’s better that it’s now so that we can learn from it,” said Sutter. “It’s better that it’s hap-pening in the month of October than in January or February.
“The kids understand where we are. Tuesday night (follow-ing a 6-5 overtime loss to Victo-ria) was the first time I’ve seen our group, to a person, upset that we lost a game. That’s a good sign.
“The reality is you don’t win until you learn how to lose. Los-ing has to be something that you absolutely hate doing. That’s when you’ll make the full com-mitment and buy everything in while wanting to win. We’ll stay the course. We’ll just keep plug-ging away.”

Queens 5 Bears 1Red Deer College Queens head
coach Bob Rutz is hoping their final exhibition game is a sign of things to come.
The Queens routed the Banff Hock-ey Academy Bears 5-1 on Thursday at the Arena in their final tune up for the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference hockey season.
The score, however, could have been slanted even more in favour of the Queens as they outshot their over-matched guests 55-8.
Ashley Graf scored twice for RDC while Cassidy Holt, Kaley McMurtry and Jena Holden also tallied. Moriah Andrews stopped seven shots in net for the win.
Anna Lagzdina replied for the Bears while Rachel Fontinha made 50 saves.
This kind of offensive outburst is big for the Queens after losing three of their top four point producers from last season.
“In women’s hockey, scoring is one of the bigger issues in the game, any-time you can put more than three goals in on a team it does nothing but give girls confidence,” said Rutz. “We work so hard on shooting and scoring ... it’s nice to see them rewarded.”
The Queens struggled to get the of-fence going during their long exhibi-tion season, as they finished with a 3-6-2 record against some top opposition, and had been outscored 19-25 heading into Thursday night’s win.
This off-season they lost leading scorer Jade Petrie (eight goals, eight assists), and Emily Lougheed (7-8-13) and Laura Salomons (6-7-13) who fin-ished tied for third. For a team that was not an offensive juggernaut to be-gin with, it is a gaping hole to make up.
“I think we’re going to have to score by committee this year,” said Rutz. “Our philosophy is, we’re going to drive the net hard and we’re going
to get pucks to the net, we’re going to have to work hard for our goals this year.”
That committee will be lead by Ra-chael Hoppins, who was second on the team in scoring last season with 14 points (5-9-14). But it’s also an oppor-tunity for the likes of third year centre Graf, second year winger Hailey Smyl and McMurtry, a top recruit out of Port Coquitlam, B.C. with the Fraser Valley Phantoms, to step into a bigger role.
Graf is no stranger to putting up big points. She led the Alberta Major Midget Female Hockey League in scor-ing in 2011-12 while playing for the Red Deer Sutter Fund Chiefs with 49 points (20-29-49) in 32 games. That year she played on a line with Petrie and Lougheed and all three scored at more than a point a game pace.
In Graf’s ACAC rookie season, she finished third on the Queens in scoring with 16 points (4-12-16), but she took a big step back last year in Rutz’s first season with the team, scoring eight points (1-7-8) in 15 games.
However, she’s feeling confident in her offensive game once again.
“Those are my second and third goals this pre-season, so it feels pretty good going into the season on a posi-tive note,” said Graf, 20, a nursing stu-dent. “I’m starting to enjoy it more, it’s all about fun this year and also being able to compete. School is a stresser but it makes it fun.”
But Rutz will not be leaning solely on his forwards for offence. He is ex-pecting his blue line to produce as well, just as they did last year when Casey Nicholson finished fifth in scor-ing with 12 points (6-6-12).
Some of his defensive recruits this year have also shown a point-scoring aptitude as well, like Ashtin Peter-son who scored 14 points (2-12-14) in 32 games with the Grande Prairie Storm in the AMMFHL and Kailey Butz who had 23 points (4-19-23) in 43 games with the Lloydminster Steelers of the AM-MFHL.
“Kailey has been a real solid player
for us, she sees the ice well and has a great shot,” said Rutz. “We got a lot of offence from our D last year, so we’re hoping that we can have the same this year again.”
Perhaps the biggest mystery head-ing into the season is who will be the No. 1 goalie this year. Incumbent An-drews and freshman Summer Roberts split the pre-season and both played well.
Rutz says they will likely platoon the two netminders until one starts to run away with the job.
With the season starting on Thurs-day when they host the MacEwan Grif-fins at 7 p.m. at the Red Deer Arena, Rutz is feeling confident about how his team is playing.
But he isn’t setting any expectations on this group.
It is a one-foot-in-front-of-the-other process the team has embraced.
“(First place) is an expectation, but it’s not a priority,” said Graf. “We’re going to go one game at a time and see where it gets us.”

Queens get big win in final tune up

RDC Queens forward Kaley McMurtry gets a shot on Banff Hockey Academy’ Rachel Fontinha during ACAC preseason action at the Arena on Thursday night. RDC won 5-1.
GIANTS: Journey
Ishikawa took a wind-ing journey to his win-ning home run, too. Ear-lier in the game, he mis-played a flyball to left field that cost his team a run. He more than made up for it with his final swing.
Bumgarner did not allow a hit after Tony Cruz homered to give the Cardinals a 3-2 lead with two outs in the fourth, working eight efficient innings.
Matt Adams also went deep in the fourth.
S a n t i a g o C a s i l l a worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the ninth for the win.
Adams drew a one-out walk and Daniel Descal-so entered to pinch run. Randal Grichuk singled and Descalso reached third on Kolten Wong’s grounder.
Giants shortstop Bran-don Crawford snagged the chopper that glanced off diving third baseman Sandoval’s glove, then Crawford threw to sec-ond for the force.
Once Wainwright left the game, the Giants grabbed their chance.

MONTREAL — A Montreal Canadiens fan used a laser pointer to try and distract the rival Boston Bruins — but it had little effect.
Video replay clearly showed a green dot dancing in and around Bruins goalten-der Tuukka Rask on Thursday
during Montreal’s 6-4 victory over Boston.
When asked after the game if Rask noticed the laser being pointed at him, he was quick to dismiss it.
“At me? No,” said Rask, who allowed five goals on 23 shots before leaving 7:17 into the third.
Although the Finnish goalie did notice the laser being di-rected elsewhere.

Max Pacioretty had a goal and two assists, while Jiri Sekac got his first NHL goal for Montreal.
Zdeno Chara, Carl Soderberg, Loui Eriksson and Simon Gagne, with his first as a Bruin, scored for Boston. The Bruins led 3-2 before fading late in the second period. Boston was coming off a win Wednesday night in Detroit.
Tuukka Rask, who is 3-11-3 against Montreal, allowed five goals on 23 shots before leaving 7:17 into the third in favour of Niklas Svedberg.
SENATORS 5, AVALANCHE 3OTTAWA (AP) — Clarke MacArthur
had the go-ahead score during Otta-wa’s three-goal third period to lead the Senators.
Bobby Ryan, Zack Smith and David Legwand also scored to help the Sena-tors win their home opener. Craig An-derson stopped 31 shots and Chris Neil had an empty-net goal with 1:22 to go.
Alex Tanguay, John Mitchell and Gabriel Landeskog scored for the Av-alanche. Calvin Pickard stopped 23 shots in his NHL debut after replacing Reto Berra at 2:46 of the first period.
Berra left the game after he was knocked over by Ottawa’s Kyle Turris, who was pushed by Mitchell. Pickard was called up earlier in the day from Lake Erie of the AHL after the Ava-lanche placed Semyon Varlamov on injured reserve.
ISLANDERS 4, SHARKS 3, SOUNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — John Ta-
vares scored the decisive goal of the shootout to help the New York Island-ers remain unbeaten.
San Jose’s Logan Couture and New York’s Kyle Okposo traded goals earli-er in the shootout before Tavares beat Alex Stalock in the fifth round. San Jose’s Joe Thornton missed on his turn and the Islanders improved to 4-0-0 before a raucous crowd at Nassau Coli-seum.
San Jose’s Tomas Hertl tied the tense game at 11:16 of the third after goals by Okposo and Josh Bailey ear-lier in the period put the Islanders ahead 3-2.
The teams played a pulsating over-time but both goaltenders were up to the task. Stalock made a spectacular glove stop on Tavares in the last min-ute of the extra five-minute session and had 42 saves overall.
RANGERS 2, HURRICANES 1, SONEW YORK (AP) — Henrik Lun-
dqvist stopped 29 shots through over-time, and then all three attempts in a shootout, and Rick Nash scored the only goal in the tiebreaker to lift New York.

Anton Khudobin made 33 saves for Carolina.
STARS 3, PENGUINS 2PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tyler Seguin
scored a power-play goal with 2.9 sec-onds remaining to lift Dallas.
Seguin’s goal capped a furious comeback as Dallas scored twice in the final 2:57 to win its second straight and snap a six-game losing streak in Pittsburgh. Jamie Benn and Antoine Roussel also scored for the Stars, who won in Pittsburgh for the first time since Dec. 23, 2000.
Sidney Crosby had his fourth goal of the season and Chris Kunitz also scored — both on power plays in the first 10 minutes of the game — for the Penguins.
Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis left the game on a stretcher in the sec-ond period.

kin scored in his third straight game, Braden Holtby made 26 saves and Washington handed New Jersey its first loss.
Marcus Johansson scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period for the Capitals (2-0-2). Chris Brown, Nicklas Backstrom, Joel Ward and An-dre Burakovsky also scored for Wash-ington, and Troy Brouwer, Mike Green and Matt Niskanen each had two as-
sists.Rookie defenceman Damon Sever-
son scored twice for the Devils (3-1-0), who were seeking their first 4-0 start since 1995-96.
Cory Schneider had 21 saves before being lifted at 3:25 of the third after Ward’s shot from the blue line car-omed off the end boards, hit Schneider and went in, making it 5-2.
Mike Cammalleri had an assist, giv-ing him points in each of his first four games with the Devils.

Top-seeded Milos Raonic lose to qualifiers at Kremlin Cup
MOSCOW — The top seeds crashed out at the Kremlin Cup as Canada’s Milos Raonic and Domini-ka Cibulkova of the Czech Republic lost to qualifiers on Thursday.
Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., had a bye into the second round. He was eliminated by Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
Not long after, an out-of-sorts Cibulkova was eliminated by tenacious Vitalia Diatchenko of Rus-sia 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.
Raonic’s loss put him in danger of failing to qualify for the ATP Finals in London next month. He blamed the defeat on ill-ness.
“I was sick for the last 10 days, so I was in bed the whole time, and I only was able to prepare the last two days,” he said.
Raonic, who holds the eighth and last qualify-ing place for the tour fi-nals, said “there’s not re-ally that much of a heart-break” in exiting Moscow so early, since more points were on offer in the Paris Masters this month.

TORONTO — First a spot in the UFC rankings. Now a date with former champion Renan Barao. It’s been a good month for Canadian bantamweight Mitch Gagnon.
The 30-year-old from Sudbury, Ont., moved into the UFC rankings at No. 15 among 135-pound con-tenders after his Oct. 4 first-round stoppage of Ro-man Salazar in Halifax.
It was his fourth straight win in the UFC. It was also his 10th first-round finish and 11th win by sub-mission.
The victory earned him a Dec. 20 matchup with Barao in the co-main event of a televised UFC Fight Night card in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The main event fea-tures middleweights Lyoto (The Dragon) Machida and C.B. (The Doberman) Dollaway.
“I didn’t expect it was going to be Renan Barao but I knew I was going to get a top-10 fighter like I asked,” Gagnon (12-2) said in an interview Thursday.
“I’m up for it, man. I can’t wait to get in there and prove a lot of these fans wrong.”
Barao (34-2 with one no contest) is ranked No. 1 among bantamweight contenders.
For the 27-year Barao, it’s his first outing since May when he lost the 135-pound title to T.J. Dil-lashaw. The Brazilian was slated to face Dillashaw in an August rematch, but was pulled from the bout on the day of the weigh-in after falling and hitting his head while trying to cut weight.
The Dillashaw loss ended a 33-fight, nine-year win streak for the Brazilian.
“I’m not delusional. He’s one of the pound-for-pound greats in the world,” said Gagnon.
“I know I’ve got my work cut out for me but these are the types of fights I want ... this is where I want to test myself,” he added.
Gagnon, who has never fought outside of Canada, is looking forward to seeing Brazil. He will get his first taste of it in two weeks to help hype the fight.
“I always wanted to travel to fight. This is my op-portunity to do so, so I’m super-excited for it.”
Gagnon said he took a week off after the Halifax win, ate some turkey, relaxed with his fiancee and now is looking forward to resuming training. He has won 10 of his last 11 bouts.
Gagnon lost his UFC debut to Bryan Caraway in July 2012 but still earned a US$65,000 fight of the night bonus.
The five-foot-five 135-pounder subsequently scored first-round submissions of Walel Watson and Dustin Kimura before winning a decision over Tim Gorman. Gagnon’s guillotine choke win over Kimura at UFC 165 in Toronto earned him a $50,000 bonus for submission of the night.
That fight showed Gagnon’s heart. He survived a painful Kimura body shot and rallied for the win when Kimura passed out from a guillotine choke af-ter Gagnon stuffed a takedown attempt.
He gave up six inches in height to Watson but floored him with a left and then locked in a rear-naked choke for a 69-second win at UFC 152. Gagnon sat out a year after the Watson fight due to knee sur-gery.
Gagnon’s cauliflower ears attest to an extensive grappling background.
“You don’t get that ear playing tennis,” UFC com-mentator Joe Rogan said dryly prior to the Kimura fight.
Gagnon, a former wrestler who took up MMA training some seven years ago, trains for his fights in the Toronto area.

HAMILTON, Ont. — The Ottawa Redblacks might be out of playoff contention but Hamilton coach/GM Kent Austin says the Tiger-Cats can’t afford to over-look the expansion CFL franchise.
Hamilton (6-8) hosts Ottawa (2-12) on Friday night tied with Toronto and Montreal atop the East Divi-sion. The Ticats, Argonauts and Alouettes also must consider that the B.C. Lions (8-7), currently fourth in the West, have a better record than the third-place Eastern squad and would cross over and assume the No. 3 playoff seed if that remained the case at the end of the regular season.
Toronto hosts Montreal at Rogers Centre on Satur-day afternoon.
“Every game you play is a dangerous game and I don’t buy that they (Redblacks) don’t have anything to play for,” Austin said Thursday. “In fact, being out of the playoffs would give them a little bit more of a reason to do more and maybe to live a little bit on the edge more.”
Hamilton’s first win of the season came against Ottawa — a 33-23 decision July 26 at McMaster Uni-versity’s Ron Joyce Stadium. Dan LeFevour started at quarterback for Hamilton as incumbent Zach Col-laros was out with concussion-like symptoms.
Hamilton was 1-6 when Collaros returned to the lineup and he’s led the squad to five wins in seven games. The Ticats are also 4-0 at new Tim Hortons Field.
However, Hamilton missed a glorious chance to
take sole possession of first in the East last Friday when it relinquished a 17-point, third-quarter lead in Toronto, eventually dropping a heart-breaking 34-33 loss to the Argos. But defensive tackle Bryan Hall said that’s all behind the Ticats now.
“I didn’t sleep well at all (that night) and I’m sure a lot of guys didn’t either,” said Hall, adding the coaches have been doing a “great job of moving on.”
But Austin bristled when asked if the loss was a reality check for the Ticats after four straight victo-ries.
“This is not a complacent football team and we certainly weren’t in a position last week to be com-placent,” he said. “We have fought hard.
“The players have fought hard and scratched and clawed their way back into this (playoff race) to give us an opportunity to make a stretch run and get in the playoffs and to hopefully perform well at that time.”
Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris will make a sec-ond return to Hamilton. He spent two years with the Ticats, leading them to a Grey Cup appearance last year before being released after Collaros was signed as a free agent. Burris subsequently joined the Red-blacks.
“We know Henry’s strengths and weaknesses,” said Austin. “He has more strengths than weakness-es, obviously.
“They’re going to put together a plan that not only fits what he does well but also what they think will attack our defence, so, yes, we gameplan accordingly. But that being said, I’ve always maintained the belief that it’s really your adjustments during the game that make the difference.”
Ottawa is looking to rebound from a 41-3 road loss to B.C. on Saturday night.
“The most important (thing) for us I think going into this week is the fact the guys are embarrassed and I think we’ll see more spark,” Burris said. “We’ll see more passion, more hunger.”
Burris said the Redblacks are more concerned with finishing the year strong than playing the role of spoiler down the stretch.
“To win out here would be the perfect way to at least finish off with a good taste in our mouth and give us something to look forward to next year,” he said.
Hamilton will dress two new international run-ning backs after losing Mossis Madu to a shoulder injury against Toronto. Madu was replacing injured tailback C.J. Gable.
Delone Carter spent time in the NFL with India-napolis and Jacksonville before signing with Ham-ilton on Oct. 7. He’ll be joined in the backfield by rookie Sam Ojuri, who was signed in July and had been on the Ticats’ practice roster.

ERIE, Pa. — Erie Insurance Arena shares locker-rooms with a minor-league baseball stadium and makes up the ballpark’s left-field facade. Across the street, adjacent to a tire warehouse, is a tiny tan building with red, white and blue trim that houses the Erie Otters offices.
Here, in this working-class town of 100,000 in northwestern Pennsylvania, a star is being born.
One day, Connor McDavid will take the ice at the Bell Centre and Madison Square Garden. But for now, he’s happy to call Erie home.
“I love it here,” said McDavid. “It’s great. I’m sure you’ve only seen the downtown part of Erie and it’s not particularly nice, but where we all live, it’s beau-tiful. It’s a great area.”
At least a two-hour drive from anywhere in Ontar-io and far from the centre of the hockey universe or even OHL hot beds like Kitchener or London, McDa-vid is just far enough away to keep the spotlight from being blinding.
“There’s obviously the media in Toronto and hockey in general is huge in Canada and specifically Toronto,” Otters assistant coach and former NHL defenceman Jay McKee said. “There’s less media, there’s less outside attention, and as a player who’s focused on the team and developing himself, I think that’s a huge benefit for him to be here.”
No matter where he plays, the 17-year-old McDa-vid attracts attention. He’s being touted as “The Next One” and is the front-runner to go first overall in the 2015 NHL draft as a once-in-a-generation talent.
Experiencing a lifetime of hockey hype before turning 18 has prepared McDavid for every bit of what he’s facing in his draft year. He’s conditioned to deflect the attention rather than absorb it.
“It’s all right,” McDavid said during a recent pre-practice interview. “It’s not too crazy. It’s something that I’ve been getting more and more used to over the past couple years. It never really gets old. It’s still a lot of fun, I’m still a young guy, so the attention is something that is fun to have.”
Dominating hockey is still fun for McDavid. But being unquestionably the best player in junior hock-ey and the presumptive No. 1 pick sometimes comes at the cost of what he called “crazy and unreach-able” expectations.
“You can have a good game and that’s just the expectation,” McDavid said. “It’s not like you did something good, it’s just what they expect out of you. Sometimes that can be a little bit stressful and an-noying, but I guess it sometimes comes with the ter-ritory.”
McDavid, who was born in Richmond Hill, Ont., and grew up in nearby Newmarket, put up seven goals and 13 assists in his first seven games this season, leading the Otters to a 6-0-1 start. At that three-point-a-game pace, he’d enter or surpass the territory of what Sidney Crosby did with Rimouski Oceanic of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League at the same age.
“Usually one or two times a game you see some-thing that you just didn’t expect,” Otters coach Kris Knoblauch said. “Certainly when he has the puck it’s exciting and you’re expecting something to happen offensively with it, whether he’s setting up a team-mate or creating a scoring chance by himself.”
Those abilities have him atop arguably the stron-gest draft class in a decade and are so tantalizing that struggling NHL teams are hoping to win the McDavid derby and punch their ticket back to promi-nence.
McDavid “already has NHL abilities,” according to McKee. But with several months to sharpen his game before the top league in the world comes call-ing, he’s just getting started.
‘BETTER THAN CROSBY’McDavid doesn’t remember the first time some-
one compared him to Crosby. Eleven months after Sportsnet Magazine’s cover showed him with the headline, “Better than Crosby,” the 17-year-old still thinks it was “pretty insane.”
“It’s obviously a tremendous honour to be named in the same breath with someone like that,” McDavid said. “But by no means do I think I’m deserving.”
Scouts disagree. In revealing the International Scouting Service pre-season rankings, director Den-nis MacInnins said: “Having the chance to scout Sid-ney Crosby at the same age, McDavid is even more impressive, true superstar potential.”
McKee sees the same things. He played with Cros-by on the 2009-10 Pittsburgh Penguins and that was when the pride of Cole Harbour, N.S., was already grown up at 22 and in the middle of a run that in-cluded a Stanley Cup and Olympic gold medal.
“The comparables between him and Sid, it’s ev-erything,” McKee said. “It’s the way he works off the ice, the way he communicates in the dressing room, the work ethic he puts out on the ice in practice. ...
“Sid’s a hard-working guy that leads by example on and off the ice and he’s very humble, very quiet, not real flashy. Connor’s the kind of guy when he scores goals he’s not out there riding his stick or celebrating in fancy fash-ion, he just wants to get the job done.”
More often than not, McDavid does get the job done. He was a point-a-game player as an OHL rookie at the ages of 15 and 16 and had 99 points last season.
“He’s the type of guy that every time he steps on the ice, he seems to be bet-ter than the time before,” said Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Connor Brown, who led the OHL in scor-ing in 2013-14 thanks in part to Otters teammate McDavid. “I saw him play this summer and he was
10 steps beyond anything he was last year.”That’s a scary improvement curve.Fellow 2015 draft prospect Dylan Strome, who’s
on the same power-play unit as McDavid in Erie, said he and his teammates always have to be prepared for McDavid to dish them the puck.
“You can just learn so many little things from him on the ice that’s so special,” said Strome, whose older brother Ryan plays for the New York Islanders “He’s such a world-class player that every time he does something on the ice, you can learn from it.”
Lauded for his vision, McDavid isn’t quite sure where it came from or how it developed. Shrugging but smiling, he said: “I guess I’m an OK passer.”
That’s kind of like LeBron James saying he’s an OK basketball player. Take it from Brown, who en-joyed a 45-goal, 128-point season alongside McDavid: along with speed and creativity, passing is what makes him great.
“If he sees a guy’s open, it’s going to get there no matter how many sticks are in the way or who’s in between it,” said Brown
A 200-FOOT PLAYEREven after big centre
Jack Eichel drew compar-isons to Mario Lemieux from ex-Penguins coach Ed Olczyk last month, McDavid is considered a strong favourite to be the top pick in June.
But his game is by his own admission still a work in progress.
“To play in the NHL, you have to be a full 200-foot player, you have to be able to score from the outside and do all that stuff,” McDavid said. “Those are two areas that I’m not particularly good at. I think I need to be bet-ter in my own zone and I need to be able to score more from the outside.”
McDavid’s progression is already evident early in his third season with the Otters. Listed in the 2012-13 OHL media guide at five-foot-10 and 155 pounds, he’s now six-foot-one and 187 pounds.
Growth — literally — was the first thing Brown
noticed when seeing him over the summer.“He worked really hard on putting on weight this
summer, and his speed it’s even faster than it was be-fore,” Brown said. “His puck protection, just because he’s stronger and stuff like that. He’s not going to be easy to knock off the puck.”
McDavid said he’s “bigger and stronger” and feel-ing pretty good about that. He has developed the kind of professional size and strength to go along with his already-advanced skills.
With all that coming along nicely, McDavid could coast through his final junior season. But he still feels like he has something to prove.
“You’re never done as an athlete, you can never be satisfied and you’ve always got to be working hard to be at the top of your game,” McDavid said. “You’ve got to prove to scouts and all that that I am everything that some people say about me, and to others I’ve got to prove that they’re wrong about me and that they should believe everything that some people say.”

ASH, England — Defending champion Graeme McDowell’s comeback fell short, while Henrik Sten-son rallied from three holes down with success at the World Match Play Championship on Thursday.
McDowell fell to Mikko Ilonen of Finland 2 and 1 in their second pool match at the London Club.
It was only McDowell’s third defeat in 18 matches in the event.
Ilonen raced to 4 up after 10 holes before McDow-ell fought back with birdies on 11, 13 and 15 to be 1 down. But Ilonen, the Irish Open champion, birdied the 17th to seal the win.
“It feels very good to beat a player of Graeme’s quality,” Ilonen said.
Only their pool leader Joost Luiten of the Nether-lands, and Victor Dubuisson, remain unbeaten going into the last round of pool play on Friday, to deter-mine the quarterfinalists.
Stenson, the top seed in the 16-man event, pro-duced a startling finish of eagle-birdie-birdie to overcome Francesco Molinari of Italy 2 and 1. Moli-nari carded 7 under but Stenson went 8 under over the last nine holes, not leading the match until his second-to-last birdie on 16.
There was a measure of revenge for Stenson, after Molinari knocked him out of the event a year ago in Bulgaria.
“I gave Francesco a couple of early gifts being 3 down after four. That really was not in the plan but I didn’t give up,” Stenson said. “To be eight under from nine onwards meant for another good day. Con-sidering I came here not having touched a golf club for nearly two weeks, I will take that.”

CALGARY — Olympic hockey heroine Marie-Phil-ip Poulin headlines the Canadian women’s hockey team roster for the upcoming Four Nations Cup.
The annual international tournament featuring Canada, the United States, Sweden and Finland will be held Nov. 4-8 in Kamloops, B.C.
Canada trailed the Americans 2-1 in the Olympic gold-medal game last February in Sochi when Poulin scored with 55 seconds remaining in regulation and again at 8:10 in overtime for the victory.
The 23-year-old from Beauceville, Que., was among 23 players named to the Four Nations roster Thursday by Hockey Canada. Poulin and nine other players selected were members of the 2014 Olympic squad.
Doug Derraugh of Arnprior, Ont., will serve as Canada’s coach in Kamloops and at the 2015 world championship in Malmo, Sweden.
He’s coached the Cornell Big Red women’s team for nine seasons. Derraugh was Canada’s assistant coach when they won the world championship in 2012.
Canada will be distinctly more youthful in Kam-loops than in Sochi.
Forwards Hayley Wickenheiser, Jayna Hefford, Caroline Ouellette and Gillian Apps, defender Meaghan Mikkelson and goaltenders Shannon Sza-bados and Charline Labonte were among the veter-ans left off the Four Nations roster.
Forwards Rebecca Johnston, Jennifer Wakefield, Hayley Irwin and Natalie Spooner, defenders Laura Fortino, Tara Watchorn, Lauriane Rougeau and Joc-elyne Larocque as well as goaltender Genevieve Lac-asse are the 2014 Olympians who will wear the Maple Leaf in Kamloops. All are under the age of 26.
Ten players will make their debut with the nation-al team at the Four Nations Cup. Among them will be forward Jamie Lee Rattray of Ottawa, who won the Patty Kazmaier Award last season as the best player in NCAA Division I women’s hockey.
The first international tournament in an Olympic quadrennial is an ideal time to rest the warhorses and give young players international experience with an eye to 2018, Derraugh said.
“We were looking to put together a team we felt could compete and win at Four Nations and then long-term, there are some players we want to see and see them play at this level and see how they do at this level,” Derraugh said.
“Some of the older players are taking time off, some are having surgery, there’s different things go-ing on there.
“Not only is this an opportunity for the young players that haven’t been at the senior level to show what they can do, it’s also going to be different roles for the quote-unquote young veteran players who have been on the senior team before. They’re going to have the opportunity to step up as leaders.”
Women’s team general manager Melody Davidson points out the U.S. followed a similar philosophy with its Four Nations team. Only a dozen American players chosen for Kamloops participated in the Sochi Games.
“It’s not uncommon for us to go with different names at the Four Nations,” Davidson told The Ca-nadian Press in an e-mail from South Korea. “We
still have lots of hockey left before the 2015 worlds and other major international tournaments.”
Canada has won the Four Nations tournament 13 of 19 times, including last year in Lake Placid, N.Y.
The Canadians open play against Sweden on Nov. 4. The host country takes on the Americans the fol-lowing day in what will be the first meeting between the two countries since that championship game in Sochi.
“I think it’s always there between the U.S. and Canada no matter what happened in the last game. That rivalry is always going to be strong whether they’re playing an exhibition game, the Olympics or the Four Nations,” Derraugh said.
The Canadian women congregated in Calgary over a year ago for a gruelling regimen of daily training, practices and games in the months leading up to Sochi.
Forwards Bailey Bram and Jenelle Kohanchuk as well as defender Courtney Birchard were released from the Olympic team partway through the season, but they’re back on the Four Nations roster.
Derraugh hopes those players on his Four Na-tions team who were battled-hardened during Olym-pic preparation retain that toughness and bring it to Kamloops.
“I think a lot of times with young players, they don’t realize how far they can push themselves until they actually get pushed like they do in a centraliza-tion and Olympic year,” Derraugh said.
“Now they understand just how much they can take and how much they can endure. You do really get pushed (and) are forced to find that other gear and that other level.”

If you have an appointment at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, you should plan to leave earlier than usu-al as construction of the five-storey parkade is about to begin.
The $44-million project gets under-way this week.
That means there will be construc-tion vehicles around the hospital, pos-sibly slowing traffic along 39th Street and 52nd Avenue.
The parkade will be located on the southeast corner of the hospital site. Early construction work involves fenc-ing off the worksite, creating a new
parking lot entrance and excavation work that includes removing old as-phalt.
This will require removing large amounts of dirt and materials from the site by slow-moving construction ve-hicles, Alberta Health Services said.
The excavation may cause brief de-lays for people trying to access the hos-pital.
Motorists are advised to use the public parking lots rather than on-street parking, if possible. For the du-ration of the project, additional public parking has been made available in
the lot south of the hospital, along 39th Street.
Alberta Health Services previous-ly made arrangements for temporary parking at the former Bettenson’s Sand and Gravel premises northwest of the hospital, and for temporary staff park-ing at the former UFA Co-op property at 5432 45th St.
A shuttle will run between the hos-pital and the temporary staff parking lot during peak periods, and the site will be monitored by hospital security.
The new parkade will have a foot-print of 88,260 square feet and a gross
floor area of about 441,320 square feet. It will offer 2,003 stalls, from the cur-rent 1,215 now available. Visitors, pa-tients and staff will be able to use the parkade. Future expansion provisions are being built in, so two more floors could be added.
It will take about a year and a half to build the parkade, which means it will open in the spring or summer 2016. The tender for the project has been awarded to Graham Construction.
The project will be debt-financed, with its cost recouped from future parking revenues.
Hospital parkade project underway
A Lacombe man will have to wait two more weeks to learn his fate in an impaired driving trial.
Matthew Lawrence Engelman, 26, is charged with impaired driving caus-ing death, dangerous driving causing death and refusing to provide a breath
sample.Justice Monica Bast was to make her
decision in the trial on Thursday.However, she said she needed more
time to consider the matter.Randy Pinch, 41, of Breton died as a
result of a crash at the intersection of
Hwy 20 and Aspelund Road, northwest of Sylvan Lake, on Sept. 21, 2012.
Crown Prosecutor Maurice Collard and defence counsel Hersh Wolch, of Calgary, agreed to the adjournment of the decision to Oct. 29 in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench.
Kissed by public supportLOCAL ARTIST’S PROJECT WINS NATIONAL PEOPLE’S CHOICE CONTEST AND $10,000BY LANA MICHELIN
ADVOCATE STAFF
Sending little “kisses” home with gallery visitors landed Red Deer’s Rob-in Lambert a $10,000 national emerging artist prize.
Lambert, a Red Deer College visu-al arts instructor, amassed the most viewer votes out of five finalists in a people’s choice art contest sponsored by the RBC and Gardiner Museum of ceramics in Toronto.
His work, I Should Like to Give You a Kiss, is made up of 3,000 white por-celain thimbles, and was named for a quotation from J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan story. When Peter tells Wendy that he doesn’t know what a kiss is, the flus-tered girl places a thimble in his hand and calls it a kiss.
Lambert ordered the thimbles from England, signed each of them, and lined them up on small shelves in the Gardiner Museum. People who walked
by the installation were invited to take a thimble home.
The interactive exhibit “is every cu-rator’s dream,” said Rachel Gotlieb, the chief curator. “It attempts to break down those metaphorical and physical walls that make museums seem so for-bidding to the public.”
By inviting viewers to take a piece of art away with them, the installation also encourages people to become art collectors, Gotlieb added. “Lambert’s work very much reflects key issues in current artistic practice,” in that it engages museum visitors and presents an intriguing artistic concept in a post-disciplinary world.
Lambert, who just returned from the award ceremony in Toronto, said “it was extremely overwhelming” to win out of a strong field of contenders. “I can’t imagine what it’s like to win an Oscar, when I was sitting there and my heart was just racing. ...”
The B.C. native, who studied art at RDC and the Alberta College of Art
and Design before getting a master’s of fine art degree from the University of Regina, strives to include social en-gagement and interaction with viewers in his practice.
He was, therefore, pleased to hear from gallery volunteers that his exhibit particularly appealed to children.
One young man, who was brought in by his mother, read about the con-test and placed his vote. He later took one of Lambert’s thimbles, left the gal-lery, and apparently reconsidered his choice.
“He came back into the museum and his mom said, ‘He wants to change his vote,’ ” said Lambert, with a chuck-le. “I was told there was some mystery and maybe a little bit of magic to the piece.”
The RDC community and other Al-berta artists rallied around Lambert and participated in the online voting. The local artist, who grew up in High Prairie, said he’s very grateful for their support.
Lambert is still considering how to make use of the prize money, noting some will be used to repay his student loan, while some will go towards a fu-ture art project he’s planning.
People who walked by Robin Lambert’s art installation were invited to take home one of the 3,000 white porcelain thimbles, or “kisses.”
Voir direkey to trialoutcome
The outcome of the trial of an al-leged drug dealer will hinge on the rulings by Justice Charlene Ander-son on the admissibility of key evi-dence.
There have been three separate voir dires during the trial of Ahmed Nur, 31, who faces drug trafficking related charges. A voir dire is a trial within the main trial to determine the validity and admissibility of evi-dence.
Anderson is expected to give her ruling on the three voir dires by Tuesday in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench.
The first voir dire scrutinizes the grounds police had established to ar-rest Nur.
Defence counsel Paul Moreau, of Edmonton, submitting that they did not establish the proper grounds before arresting Nur and the subse-quent searches of a storage locker in Edmonton and two residences in Red Deer.
The second voir dire alleges that police delayed Nur’s right to obtain and instruct counsel upon his arrest. It wasn’t until 10 hours after his ar-rest that Nur was taken to a phone room to call a lawyer.
Police officers testified and Crown prosecutor Patricia Giroux said police purposefully delayed Nur’s phone access in the interest of officer safety. The search warrants had not been executed and to minimize risk before entering the two residences and one storage locker, they decided to delay Nur’s phone access, in case he warned people of the upcoming warrant instead of calling his lawyer.
The third voir dire regards the ad-missibility of Nur’s tax returns from 2009 to 2011. Giroux sought to enter them as evidence, using them to sup-plement evidence presented by an expert in proceeds of crime.

Arson results in 26 months in jailA man who admitted to burning a vehicle alleged
to have been involved in a fatal collision has been sentenced to time in prison.

Driver arrested after vehicle rollsA driver is facing charges after several near-col-
lisions early on Thursday morning ended when her vehicle rolled over in Red Deer’s Glendale neigh-bourhood.
Shortly after midnight, a Red Deer RCMP offi-cer who was patrolling in a marked police car saw a black SUV driving northbound on 51st Avenue, which is a southbound one-way street. This was in the area of 53rd Street.
The vehicle was being driven in an erratic man-ner.
When RCMP initiated emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop, the vehicle sped up.
It narrowly missed hitting several oncoming ve-hicles and hit the curb before continuing on at a high rate of speed.
Due to public safety concerns, RCMP did not initi-ate a pursuit but tracked the vehicle at a distance as it continued north. The SUV entered the Glendale neighbourhood, where it struck a parked flatbed trailer and overturned. Neither the female driver nor the male passenger were injured in the rollover.
RCMP took a 25-year-old woman from Sylvan Lake into custody and will release an update once the charges have been sworn before the court.
Anyone who witnessed this series of events is asked to call Red Deer RCMP Const. Ryan Kinney at 403-406-2300. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

Downtown Red Deer will soon have a melodious addition to its retail line-up.
Music Centre Canada is preparing to open at the corner of Gaetz Avenue and 48th Street at No. 107, 4815 50th Ave. — the former site of the Business Development Bank of Canada.
The business will sell a wide range of musical equipment and accessories, as well as provide lesson on various in-struments and perform repairs.
“We’ll carry just about everything,” said franchisee Mitch Day, who will own the Music Centre Canada store with his wife Morgan.
“All instruments: pianos, drums, gui-tars, brass instruments, everything.”
Their premises’ 2,900-square-foot layout will include four lesson studios, where guitar, piano, drum and voice will be taught, as well as other instru-ments as demand requires.
Staff will include Ray Repp, who was a manager at the former Milestone Music store in Red Deer.
Day said he’s hoping to open on Nov. 1.
“It looks like we should be ready for that.”
Music Centre Canada has a half-doz-en stores in Alberta, and was eager to open in Red Deer, said Day.
“I think there’s great potential here,” he said, noting the city’s rapid growth and young population.
Being part of the Music Centre Can-ada network gives him the benefits of buying power and access to resources, said Day. But he still has a great deal
of autonomy.
“They give the owners a lot of free-
dom to kind of do things the way they
want to do things.”
Day, who grew up in Red Deer and
is a lifelong musician, said he was
pleased to find space in the city’s
downtown.
There’s lots of pedestrian and ve-
hicle traffic, and he’s impressed with
the revitalization work that the city
has performed in the area.
“That was a big appeal.”

A deadly pig virus has been found in Alberta.
Alberta Pork reported on Thursday that swine delta coronavirus (SDCV) was detected at a pig-handling facility in the province during a recent check. It said the infected sample was not taken from a farm or a sick animal, and pointed out that SDCV is not transmis-sible to people and does not present a human health risk.
The disease does cause diarrhea and vomiting in pigs, and produces a high mortality rate in nursing pigs. There is currently no treatment or ef-fective vaccine for SDCV.
The virus was first found in pigs in Hong Kong in 2012. By February it had spread to animals in the United States, and a month later it was confirmed in Ontario.
Pork producers in Alberta have been particularly vigilant during the past year in their efforts to avoid a re-lated disease: porcine epidemic diar-rhea virus (PEDV). Although it hasn’t been found in this province, PEDV has devastated hog farms in the United States and been confirmed in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island.
Earlier this month, Red Deer swine vet Egan Brockhoff said that 8,500 PEDV cases had been reported in the U.S., with about 50 new sites there test-ing positive for the disease every week. Canada had had just over 70 confirmed cases since Jan. 22, he added.
Alberta Pork has been actively test-ing for PEDV and SDCV at high-traffic sites like assembly areas, processing
facilities and truck washes. Although the two viruses are related, mortal-ity rates for SDCV appear to be lower, said Alberta Pork.
It said in a release that it’s working closely with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development and the facility where the SDCV-infected sample was found to investigate the matter.
Alberta Agriculture and Rural De-velopment is tracing and contacting others who may have been at the site.
Alberta Pork stressed the impor-tance of ensuring that trucks entering their farms are cleaned, disinfected and dried. It also urged the use of oth-er biosecurity measures, such as clean-ing and disinfecting load-out areas and requiring clean boots and clothing for barn visitors.

Glenn and Rex Turple were hon-oured at an induction ceremony in Edmonton on Sept. 27. The two men started Turple Bros. in 1949. Glenn has accumulated 1.25 million km aboard various bikes since 1946, and Rex was active in motocross, hill-climbing and flat-track racing before his death in 1990.
Started in 2006, the Canadian Mo-torcycle Hall of Fame is operated by the Canadian International Motorcycle Heritage Museum Foundation.
New Brunswick premier heading to Alberta to
discuss Energy East Pipeline
SAINT ANDREWS, N.B. — New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant is scheduled to head to Alberta next week to discuss the proposed Energy East Pipeline project with Alberta Pre-mier Jim Prentice.
Gallant will spend four days in Al-berta, where he will also meet senior TransCanada (TSX:TRP) officials in Calgary.
He says he also wants to meet with Alberta business leaders to show his commitment to the $12-billion develop-ment and help secure opportunities for New Brunswick.
Former premiers David Alward and Alison Redford made similar trips to each other’s provinces when they were in office in support of the project.
If it proceeds, the Energy East Pipe-line would ship oil from Alberta to refineries in Quebec, with a pipeline extension to be built to a refinery and export terminal in Saint John, N.B.
TransCanada is expected to file a formal proposal with the national en-ergy regulator within weeks.
Canadians paying more for cable, wireless, Internet and
telephone services: CRTC
OTTAWA — Canadian families spent more on communications ser-vices in 2013, suggests a report by the CRTC.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission says, on average, Canadian families spent $191 per month for cable, cellphone, Internet and home telephone plans.
This is up 3.2 per cent from $185 per month in 2012.
On average, household spending on cable and satellite television servic-es climbed $1.54 to $53.56 per month; wireless cellphone services increased $1.91 to $69.33 per month and Inter-net services jumped $4.42 to $35.37 per month year over year.
The CRTC says the higher costs of cellphone and Internet plans can be attributed to more people using more wireless data and upgrading to higher broadband Internet speeds.
Spending on home telephone ser-vices decreased by 5.8 per cent or $2.01 to $32.85 per month compared to a year ago.
Canadians spent the most money on mobile wireless services (36 per cent), followed by home television service (28 per cent), Internet service (19 per cent), and home telephone service (17 per cent).
Overall, the regulator says the costs for telephone, television and Internet services went up between 1.6 per cent and 3.7 per cent last year, higher than the rate of inflation of 0.9 per cent.
Last year, the Canadian broadcast and telecommunications industry had revenues of $61.9 billion, a 1.9 per cent increase from $60.8 billion in 2012.
INBRIEF
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A judge will not stop the flow of fresh water from Brit-ish Columbia’s lakes and rivers to hy-draulic fracking operations, but did recognize the issue as a growing public concern.
The Western Canada Wilderness Committee and the Sierra Club filed a petition against the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission and energy company En-Cana Corp. (TSX:ECA) over the com-mission’s decision to grant repeat short-term water approvals to the com-pany.
The environmental groups wanted the court to declare the approvals a violation of the provincial Water Act. They also asked a judge to quash sev-eral such permits issued to Encana.
But in a decision posted this week on the court website, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick dis-missed the application.
“Over the last few decades, the world has become increasingly aware that water is a precious resource,” she wrote. “This heightened awareness has
caused many persons, including public interest groups such as the petitioners, to question the management of our wa-ter resources, particularly as it relates to the use of publicly owned water by industry.”
Concerns include increasing pres-sure on water resources and the effect of chemicals used in the fracking pro-cess, as well as the effect of fracking on underground water resources, Fitz-patrick noted.
Days before the court hearing be-gan, the provincial government intro-duced its updated Water Sustainability Act, which expressly allows recurrent short-term approvals.
But the previous legislation did not prohibit such approvals, Fitzpatrick found.
Court heard that in 2012, the oil and gas commission granted the industry access to 20.4 million cubic metres of surface water. About seven million were for fracking — 54 per cent of that from short-term approvals.
But only a small fraction of the fresh water used in the province is for oil and gas, the judge said.
In 2009, the industry received less
than 0.006 per cent, compared to the hydro power industry allocation of 98 per cent. And only a small portion of that is actually withdrawn for use, Fitz-patrick found.
The commission did not respond to a request for comment.
Doug McIntyre, of Encana, said Thursday the decision validates the company’s position.
“Encana responsibly uses water in a number of ways to produce natural gas and oil on which all British Columbi-ans rely,” McIntyre said in a statement emailed in response to a request for an interview.
The company continuously consults First Nations, local communities, land-owners and others on water use and is open to further discussions, he said.
“We always seek wherever possible to reduce our reliance on surface wa-ter sources and have successfully used otherwise unusable saline water in a number of our operating areas as an alternate source.”
Caitlyn Vernon of the Sierra Club said the decision was disappointing, and likewise the new provincial water regulation.
Green groups lose bid to stem flow of water for natural gas fracking

MARKETS CLOSETORONTO — The Toronto
stock market snapped a vicious, four-session losing run Thursday with a solid triple-digit advance as bargain hunters moved into depressed stocks, particularly those in the energy sector.
The S&P/TSX composite index jumped 183.09 points to 14,052.97 after losing 800 points or 5.5 per cent just since last Wednesday.
The Toronto market’s energy sector was a major target of buy-ers, rising over three per cent as the November crude oil contract in New York erased early losses to rise 92 cents to US$82.70 a barrel.
The energy group had plunged 20 per cent over the past month with crude prices diving 13 per cent as a faltering global economy dampened de-mand prospects and hurt prices for oil and metals.
“With the level of downside that we saw, there just has to be opportunities in the market and so I think we’re seeing some of that,” said Paul Taylor, chief investment officer, asset alloca-tion, BMO Global Asset Manage-ment Canada.
“That’s investors trying to get ahead of things and say, look, this has probably been over-done.”
The Canadian dollar was also off the lows of the day, up 0.07 of a cent to 88.9 cents US. The currency had been sharply lower earlier as traders contin-ued to buy into the U.S. dollar. The loonie had also been hurt by data showing that manufacturing sales fell 3.3 per cent in August to $52.1 billion.
Economists had expected a drop of 1.6 per cent.
The sharp sell-off seen on American markets this month also largely took a break amid a strong read on U.S. manufactur-ing output.
The Federal Reserve says output at manufacturing plants rose 0.5 per cent in September after declining 0.5 per cent in Au-gust.
Total industrial production surged one per cent last month, as output from mines and utilities both increased.
The Dow Jones industrials fell 24.5 points to 16,117.24, the Nasdaq was up 2.07 points to
4,217.39 and the S&P 500 index rose 0.27 of a point to 1,862.76.
Most Toronto sectors sup-ported the market — railway stocks boosted the industrials sector 2.45 per cent. The finan-cials sector also provided lift, up 0.6 per cent.
The base metals sector was the major decliner, down one per cent as the December copper contract dipped three cents to US$2.98 a pound.
The gold sector was also a drag, down about 0.25 per cent as December bullion took back $3.60 to US$1,241.20 an ounce.
North American markets have plunged in recent days as a retracement that started last month gained momentum on worries that Germany — Eu-rope’s biggest economy — is heading back into a recession. It’s also been exacerbated by a worsening global outlook from the International Monetary Fund and a disappointing read Wednesday on U.S. retail sales in September.
The Toronto stock market has been moving deeper into correction territory and has been in danger of giving up all year-to-date gains. With Thursday’s gain, the index has still lost 10.25 per cent since hitting record highs on Sept. 3 with resource sectors ab-sorbing most of the damage.
The base metals components has also fallen about 22 per cent in the past month and the other major TSX pillar, the financials group, has fallen close to nine per cent.
U.S. markets have so far avoided formally falling into cor-rection, defined as a drop of 10 per cent from recent highs, but that could change soon.
Losses Thursday left the Dow down almost seven per cent since Sept. 19 while the S&P 500 has fallen almost eight per cent.
Both indexes had been at or close to record levels and a correction has been widely ex-pected since there hadn’t been a retracement in three years.

TORONTO — The Canadian dollar erased early losses to move higher as the U.S. dollar weakened somewhat and oil prices bounced off the US$80 a barrel level.
The loonie closed up 0.07 of a cent at 88.9 cents US after going as low as 88.02 cents US as traders sought safety in the U.S. dollar amid volatile mar-kets and data showing a steep slide in Canadian manufacturing shipments in August.
Statistics Canada reported manu-facturing sales fell 3.3 per cent to $52.1 billion in August, the first decline of 2014.
The agency said the loss was mainly due to lower sales of motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts. Economists had expected a drop of 1.6 per cent, ac-cording to Thomson Reuters.
Markets have been volatile and com-modity-based currencies such as the loonie have sustained losses amid wor-ries about a faltering global economy.
“Disinflationary pressures warn of more slack in the global economic out-look than expected, complicated by
Ebola and geopolitical risks,” observed Camilla Sutton, chief FX strategist and managing director at Scotiabank Glob-al Banking and Markets.
“Soft U.S. data yesterday, including disappointing retail sales... served to fuel fears.”
The flight to safety has been reflect-ed in sharply lower bond yields in re-cent days. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was well off its session lows and, at late afternoon, stabilized with the yield on the 10-year Treasury note little changed at 2.15 per cent.
Canada’s commodity-sensitive cur-rency has also felt the weight of fall-ing prices for metals and particularly crude oil, which fell below the key US$80 a barrel level Thursday morn-ing amid reports of increasing sup-plies and a faltering global economy that has dampened demand prospects. Prices bounced back and November crude rose 92 cents to US$82.70 a bar-rel.
Meanwhile, other commodities were lower Thursday as the December gold bullion contract faded $3.60 to US$1,241.20 an ounce while the Decem-ber copper contract lost three cents to US$2.98 a pound.
Loonie closes up despite poor manufacturing data
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Canada’s factory sector churned out disappointing results in August, contracting for the first time this year as sales dipped 3.3 per cent to $52.1 billion.
Statistics Canada’s latest manufac-turing survey, released Thursday, said about half the loss was due to a drop in auto sector sales. Without motor ve-hicles and parts in the mix, manufac-turing sales slid 1.9 per cent.
Economists had expected a drop of 1.6 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters.
The monthly results followed a promising July survey, which said the sector had hit record sales and topped expectations with an increase of 2.5 per cent. Manufacturing sales had been trending upwards since January.
But August’s sharp drop has essen-tially wiped out June and July’s gains.
One economist said he wasn’t sur-prised by the drop off and he credited climbing sales of previous months to a bounce back from the unseasonably cold winter.
“The manufacturing sector is grow-ing, though the pace of growth perhaps is a bit lacklustre,” said David Madani, chief economist with Capital Econom-ics.
“My expectation is that manufactur-ing sales growth will be fairly positive. There will be growth supported by the U.S. economy, but the pace will be fair-ly unspectacular.”
Madani said Canadian firms con-tinue to face a big hurdle: a loonie that is still relatively high.
Even if the Canadian dollar contin-ues its slide, he said the sector would likely take a long time to turn things around.
“There will be quite possibly a con-siderable lag, perhaps even measured in years,” said Madani, who projects the auto sector to be a big drag on man-ufacturing-sector performance.
Statistics Canada said August sales were down in 16 of 21 industries, rep-resenting about 81 per cent of the country’s manufacturing industry. In constant dollar terms, sales fell 3.7 per cent, suggesting a lower volume of products was sold.
Sales of transportation equipment fell 12.8 per cent to $8.9 billion in Au-gust, said the agency, mostly because of fewer sales of motor vehicles and parts.
After a gain of 13.7 per cent in July, which was stronger than usual, sales in the motor vehicle industry fell 12 per cent to $4.5 billion in August. Sales in the parts industry were down 10.8 per cent to $2 billion for the month — the second drop in eight months.
Statistics Canada also said sales of petroleum and coal products fell 3.4 per cent to $7.3 billion.
Sales dropped in seven provinces in August, mostly concentrated in On-tario.
Manufacturing sales fall to $52.1 billion in August
STATSCAN REPORT
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astro-nauts replaced a failed electrical unit at the Inter-national Space Station on Wednesday, restoring full power to the orbiting lab.
The space station had been operating since spring with only seven of its eight solar-power channels. Wednesday’s work by Reid Wiseman and Butch Wilmore — NASA’s second spacewalk in two weeks — brought the energy capability back up to 100 per cent.
The spacewalkers encountered balky bolts but still managed to complete the job in the allotted time, with less than two minutes to spare.
“ Y o o - h o o ! ” t h e y cheered as NASA de-clared victory.
The voltage regulator shorted out in May but could not be replaced until now because of a yearlong hiatus in non-emergency spacewalks by NASA. The stoppage was caused by spacesuit problems, most notably a flooded helmet that near-ly cost an astronaut’s life in 2013.
Wiseman took part in the Oct. 7 spacewalk that jump-started NASA’s outside maintenance, ac-companied by a German. This time, Wiseman was joined by Wilmore, who made his first spacewalk.
To avoid an electrical shock, the two spacewalk-ers waited until darkness before attempting to re-move the old voltage reg-ulator, so there would be no discharge. They took in the view 260 miles (418 kilometres) below as they waited for the space sta-tion to fly into the night side of Earth.
“I see Cairo!” Wise-man said. “Can’t quite make out the pyramids, though.”
Sunset came over Ka-zakhstan and China, and Wiseman began to undo the bolt holding down the bad regulator. His pistol grip tool failed to loos-en the bolt. “I can feel it binding up,” he said. A ratchet wrench — along with some muscle — did
the trick.Wiseman removed the 330-pound (150-kilogram)
boxy regulator from its slot and, with Wilmore’s help, popped in the new one. But once again, they ran into bolt trouble, this time in securing the new device.
The minutes ticked away as Mission Control de-bated how much longer to keep up the effort, before stopping for the next orbital sunrise. With less than 10 minutes remaining, flight controllers advised Wiseman to try tightening the bolt with the ratchet wrench. It worked. “Outstanding news,” Mission Con-trol radioed.
Flight controllers immediately checked out the newly installed system, with less than three minutes to go. Success was declared with one minute and 45 seconds remaining.

SCIENCE C5FRIDAY, OCT. 17, 2014
We bath in it, skate on it, drink it, play in it and for the most part, here in Canada anyways, gener-ally, take water for granted. Even though Canada has 20% of the world’s fresh water, only 7% is renewable, meaning in the right place and of a potable quality. More than 50% of our fresh water flows north into the artic and is unusable to the 85% of the population that lives along the border.
Science has, in the last number of decades, more or less taken this basic sub-stance for granted as well. Its chemical formula and all the properties of its three ac-knowledged phases, solid, liq-uid, and vapour, where large-ly forgotten about, considered to be totally investigated. For the last 10 years a scientist at the University of Washington has been researching a “fourth phase” of water.
This fourth phase is an arrangement whereby the molecules form into an ordered hexagonal struc-ture similar to that of ice, but remain liquid as it forms above freezing temperatures. This honeycomb shaped structure of layers one molecule deep, are stacked like sheets in a book. Although not fully un-derstood, research is exposing some very interesting properties. On a microscopic scale, this fourth phase of water forms when it comes into contact with the surface of any material. The area where it forms is referred to as the exclusion zone or EZ.
This name is derived from the phenomenon whereby the water will move any particulate away effectively “excluding” it. Water is made up of two
hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atoms; H2O. In link-ing up, the negative charge of the hydrogen and the positive charge of the oxygen creating the structure develop a “net” negative charge. The rest of the wa-ter in the source is net positive. If light is shone on this “exclusion zone” the effect becomes stronger with the zone growing as sheets are added pushing the particulates even farther away. The distance is miniscule at around several hundred micrometers, but on a molecular level, that’s millions of layers thick.
This effect portends well for some remarkable phenomena previously hinted at over the last 100 years by observations of other scientific disciplines. Use as a water purifier has been demonstrated; us-ing this molecular ability to link up and form an assembly which pushes all contaminates away. A “filter-less” filter has been tested in the lab which does in fact eliminate water born bacteria as well as removes salinity.
The rest of water in the tank that is pushed away from this structure, being of a net positive charge, forms the basis for a battery. In the laboratory using small anodes and cathodes they were indeed able to measure current solely using water, and as the current was drawn down and drained the “water battery” the charge could be replenished with any wavelength of light, including infra-red.
Simple water has taken on some very intriguing possibilities as its secrets are revealed. Professor Gerald Pollock’s research bears watching.

Of Scars and Stardust by Andrea HannahLlewellyn Worldwide
Andrea Hannah delivers a psychological thriller for anyone ages 13 and up. Don’t let the teen fiction genre fool you — this novel can be an in-tense, spine-tingling read for anyone!
In the small town of Amble, Ohio, lives 15-year-old Claire Graham and her 12-year-old sister, Ella. The family is well respected in the town as the girl’s father is chief inspector and their mother is a gentle, kind woman who will always put the needs of others before her own.
At the beginning, Claire seems to live the typical teen life — she and her troubled best friend, Rae (who’s a year and a half older), always sneak out into the cornfields, sipping cherry-flavoured vodka and talking about escaping this boring town. Claire wants to go to school in New York City to study fashion and design gorgeous gowns. Rae, on the other hand, has no future plans except running away (again) with her boyfriend Robbie.
Rae tells eerie stories about wolves. With yellow
eyes, they are always watching and ready to attack anyone, especially those who have the scent of cher-ry on them (whether its lipstick, body spray, vodka or cough drops). The wolves love the scent of cherry.
Everyone laughs at her stories, but in the back of their minds they can’t help but wonder if there really is a pack of wolves watching the town and if they’re responsible for the disappearance of a young girl who vanished in the same cornfields.
Ella is an artistic, funny girl who loves to day dream and, according to Claire, has a magical pres-ence whenever she’s around. Ella loves to dress in anything that sparkles. And when she is not working on her homemade crafts, she’s following her protec-tive sister everywhere — even out to Claire’s secret birthday party in the cornfield, complete with a bon-fire and a lot of alcohol.
As soon as Claire discovers that Ella has followed, she demands that she go home, claiming that Ella is not old enough for these types of parties. After prom-ising her little sister that she’ll come home soon, Claire watches her sister as she disappears in the tall stalks of corn.
The next morning when Claire wakes up, she knows something isn’t right. Where’s Ella? After searching the house, Claire returns to the cornfields to find her baby sister laying in a ring of snow, her arms stretched out at her sides. Her eyes open, gray and dull. Thankfully, Ella lives but the lives of the Dunham family are forever changed.
After two years of living in New York with her aunt, Claire finally returns home for one reason — Ella has gone missing. Yet a “warm” welcome is the last thing Claire receives; her parents act cautiously around her and the whole town has now turned their back on the family, whispering the words “crazy” whenever they are near.
Everything has changed and, according to her old diary entries that were left behind, so has Ella. But Claire is determined to find her sister, to protect her this time. Along with Rae’s younger brother Grant, the only friend Claire has left (Rae left with Robbie the night of Ella’s attack), the two start searching for clues to what happened to Ella.
Instead of answers, Claire’s discovers more dis-turbing questions. Why does everyone in the town suddenly hate her Dad and call him crazy? Why do Ella’s diaries contain unsettling passages? Why was Claire considered a suspect in Ella’s ‘accident?’ Why did Ella leave a note for her older sister saying “They’re watching you, Claire.” And probably the most important question of all: what became of the wolves?
Hannah has done an exquisite job of creating a novel where the readers will feel that no character can be trusted.
And the underlying question runs throughout: who are the real monsters? The wolves, or the people?

Sweet, gentle story of love and lifeThe Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy by Rachel Joyce Bond Street Books
A story entitled The Unlikely Pilgrim-age of Harold Fry appeared a couple of years ago, and it was unlike many mod-ern novels.
Harold, who lived in Devon in Eng-land, hears from an old friend, Queenie Hennessy. It’s bad news. Queenie has cancer and is dying; she’s written to say goodbye. Harold walks out to post a re-turn card when he realizes that it’s not enough.
Their friendship from 20 years past requires that he go to see her, and he begins walking from South Devon to Nor-thumberland, in deck shoes. The outcome of that story was a touching celebration of deep loyalty and abiding care.
Now the author has written the other side of the story, that of Queenie Hennessy waiting for him. Queenie and Harold had worked together at
the Brewery in Kingsbridge, under a tyrant of a boss named Napier. It was arranged that Har-old and Queenie drive together to pubs, which Napier owned, in other towns, so that Queenie could check that no one was “fiddling” the books and cheating Napier out of his money.
Harold is married and has an almost grown son named David. Maureen, Har-old’s wife, spoils David and somehow cuts Harold out of the raising of their boy. Queenie falls deeply in love with Harold, a kind and gentle man who knows her only as a good friend and peaceful companion on their journeys around England.
Now Queenie is living in a hospice with other folks who are terminally ill. Her can-
cer is far advanced, a gruesomely disfigur-ing cancer on her face and neck.
The note from Harold, saying he is com-ing to see her says, “Wait.” But how can she wait?
Queenie decides, with the help of one of the nuns, sister Mary Inconnu, to write a long letter to Harold,
explaining her deep love for him.What has she got to lose? He is walking the length
of England. Suppose she dies? He can read her letter and know how much he meant to her all those years ago.
The hospice is St Bernadine’s Hospice, in Ber-wick-upon-Tweed. The nuns are kind and attentive, the grounds are green and lush. Queenie’s fellow patients are characters doing their best to make the life they have left meaningful and fun.
At first glance, I doubted the success of this book. After all, we knew the story. I soon found that Queenie’s story was a touching love song.
Her life has been one of starts and stops. When-ever she tired of the life she was living, she took the train to somewhere else and started again. Her pre-vious relationships had turned out very badly and she wanted no repetition.
She had left Kingsbridge under a cloud, having protected Harold the only way she could.
Now he’s on his way to her. A shockingly surpris-ing ending shows the kindly genius of this author.
This is a sweet, gentle story of love and life.Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

Dear Annie: When I divorced many years ago, my daughter was 2 years old. My mother told me never to say anything negative about my ex in front of my daughter, and I never did. But my ex turned my daughter against me anyway. I never received a birthday card, Father’s Day card or anything else from her, and when she turned 13, she sent me a really nas-ty letter saying I owed her money for a dress.
I was always prompt with my child support and paid for my daughter’s health in-surance. Every year for her birthday and Christmas, I would write and ask what she wanted. I never heard back. I usu-ally sent money, but never received a thank you. After I married my current wife (a godsend), I stopped hearing from my daughter and grandchildren unless they needed something. I con-tinue to send birthday and Christmas gifts and don’t let their lack of commu-nication get to me.
All those years are gone and wasted. I just wanted to tell you that not every dad is a deadbeat. I tried. It just didn’t work out. —Anonymous
Dear Anonymous: We commend you for control-ling yourself. These days, Mom’s behavior would be called “parental alien-ation,” and a judge would get involved. But a 13-year-old who lives with Mom is going to reflect her moth-er’s attitude. It takes a great deal of effort to overcome that and develop a relation-ship with your child in spite of Mom’s opposition. Too many noncustodial parents think prompt child support
and a birthday gift compensate for lim-ited personal attention. They truly do not.
Dear Annie: I am a 66-year-old male. Six months ago, I lost my life part-ner, my love of 33 years. I was at “Mi-chael’s” hospice bedside 24 hours a day.
I always thought I had a good re-
lationship with my partner’s family, especially his sister, “Josephine.” But a few days before his death, Josephine told me, “You haven’t done anything for Michael!” I was stunned, hurt and angry. I asked what she meant, but she refused to discuss it. I lost it at that moment and told her to leave. Since then, Josephine has barely been in communication.
To this day, Josephine hasn’t told me what she meant by her comment, and I am reluctant to bring it up and cause more friction. Even the doctor said he had never seen anyone fight so diligently for anyone as I did for Michael.
A friend thought Josephine was up-set because I had total control over Mi-chael’s care, even though I discussed all decisions with his family, includ-ing Josephine. Do I just let it go and wonder forever why she said that, or should I ask her and risk losing all communication forever? I am still hurt and sad. — Grieving in Iowa
Dear Grieving: We think Josephine felt impotent in the face of her broth-er’s imminent death and took out her frustration on you. This was obviously
not appropriate, but it is understand-able. She may also feel guilty about it, which increases her need to keep her distance.
Asking her to elaborate on her re-mark would be painful for both of you, and we cannot promise she will be able to articulate her reasoning.
Please try to forgive her without demanding any additional explana-tion. We hope hospice can direct you to grief counseling. Our condolences on your loss.
Dear Annie: I’m writing in response to “Going Deaf in Michigan,” the 82-year-old woman whose neighbors are fitness buffs and drop 400-pound barbells on the floor until 8 p.m. Per-haps the “athletes” could place thick pads on the floor to muffle the clang-ing instead of driving an aged woman to take a walk into the night. —Disap-pointed in Connecticut

FuryTwo-and-a-half stars (out of four)Rated: R
BY MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN
ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
The bloody Second World War ac-tion film Fury takes its name from the sobriquet of a Sherman tank, its barrel emblazoned with — and its mission defined by — that angry word. But it’s inside the battered vehicle, among the members of its tight-knit crew, where the movie’s real action takes place.
Set in 1945, during the Allies’ final push into Germany — an endgame marked by desperation and moral com-promise on both sides — Fury is a tale whose message can be summed up as follows: “Ideals are peaceful; history is violent.” But the better and more hard-hitting story centers on the man who delivers that nihilistic assessment, the battle-scarred tank commander known as Wardaddy (Brad Pitt), and his rela-tionship with his four-man crew. As his nickname implies, Pitt’s character is a kind of damaged father figure, tough and tender in equal measure.
As rendered by filmmaker David Ayer (whose track record includes both the gritty cop drama End of Watch and the horrible Arnold Schwarzeneg-ger vehicle Sabotage), the combat nar-rative in Fury makes for the more fa-miliar of two competing story lines. Although filmed with a visceral — and often shockingly grisly — beauty, as well as pulse-quickening drama, the movie is only passably interesting as a war movie, especially when measured against such classics as Paths of Glory. Still, it’s engaging and watchable, even as it marches toward a seemingly sui-cidal climax.
Yet the complex dynamic that exists between Wardaddy and his men is far more fascinating. As the soldiers’ pa-terfamilias, pledged to keep his “sons” alive, but also to teach them something about living and dying, Pitt makes for a vivid antihero. Wardaddy’s successes and failures as a parent and leader are the most engrossing and novel things about Fury.
His success is evident in the fact
that the crew has survived three years of fighting with only one casualty, in a war notable for its heavy American tank losses. Having rolled from Africa to France to Germany, the weathered crew of consists of Boyd “Bible” Swan (Shia LaBeouf); Trini “Gordo” Gar-cia (Michael Peña) and Grady “Coon-Ass” Travis (Jon Bernthal). As the film opens, an untested clerk-typist named Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) has just joined them, replacing a dead gun-ner.
His first assignment? Swabbing out his predecessor’s blood and guts from the inside of the tank. As with all his films, Ayer doesn’t shy from graphic imagery.
Unlike the other crew members,
who are known almost exclusively by their “war names,” Norman hasn’t yet taken on a nickname, though he will by the end of the movie.
He also will take on more than that. One lesson: Wardaddy is just a man, and in some ways a very poor role model. A key interlude in the middle of the story, set in the home of two Ger-man women (Anamarina Marinca and Alicia von Rittberg) whose apartment has been commandeered for a meal, is particularly telling.
In it, Wardaddy allows his men to misbehave, at times grotesquely — the implication being that he turns a blind eye to actions approaching the criminal out of expedience. In another scene, Wardaddy forces a reluctant
Norman to execute a captured S.S. of-ficer. The uncomfortable dynamic is an obscene parody of a father back home, teaching his son how to hunt.
With the general exception of the Nazi fighters — only one of whom is shown to have any compassion — few characters in Fury are depicted as wholly good or wholly evil. It’s easy to see the movie as a story of how war makes monsters out of men. But it’s a good deal more complicated than that.
The film suggests that it isn’t war that does that, but people like War-daddy. This is a man who knows the price of keeping his men alive to fight, or to die another day, and is willing to pay it.

War brings out the worst in men
BY LANA MICHELINADVOCATE STAFF
Amy Metcalfe, who was once bullied into silence about her singing talent, is now letting it soar.
The Red Deer-area perform-er is turning her two loves — of country music and equestrian sport — into a promising music career.
Not only has the 22-year-old landed a contract with Edmon-ton-based label Royalty Records, she’s also the spokesperson and singer/songwriter for Rocky Mountain Show Jumping, and is stated to entertain at an inter-national equestrian competition later this month.
“Rodeos always have coun-try performances,” said Metcal-fe, “but on the equestrian side, there’s usually been no entertain-ment.”
That’s going to change starting on Friday, Oct. 24, when the lo-cal singer will perform original songs from her upcoming EP, In-side Out, at the Royal West show jumping event at the Agrium on
the Calgary Stampede grounds.She wrote the tune Ready to
Fly as the event’s theme — but the song title could just as easily describe Metcalfe’s own singing aspirations.
It wasn’t always that way.The Winnipeg native started
riding horses at age eight. She moved to the Red Deer area a couple of years later, after her parents got jobs in Central Al-berta.
In Grade 5, Metcalfe was the new kid in the classroom when she got on the bad side of a group of girls. “I got two singing parts in the school play, where other peo-ple only got one or even none,” she recalled — and this became a big issue.
The bullying continued into Grade 6 when Metcalfe went to pick up her water bottle from her desk and noticed “some crap stuck to it.”
She lifted the lid and dis-covered it had been filled with household chemicals. “They tried to poison me.”
Ready to fly
AMY METCALFE IS TURNING HER TWO LOVES INTO A PROMISING MUSIC CAREER
Please see METCALFE on Page D2
METCALFE: Never talked about her singing
This led to a long period where Metcalfe never talked about her singing with anyone at school. “I didn’t do arts in middle school, I was more into sports. ...
“I suppressed (singing and songwriting). To find someone who is super-confident is rare as a teen-ager. If you have something that’s different at all, people will want to pull you down.”
Metcalfe started living a divided life — she was a basketball player at school, an equestrian after school, and had a secret but prolific songwriter at home.
The closet singer, who also plays piano, guitar, ukulele and banjo, furtively wrote more than 200 songs during this period — and seven of these will see the light early in 2015 when they are featured on Inside Out.
Metcalfe recalled her long performing silence fi-nally ended after a friend heard one of her tunes and convinced her to audition for the chance to play it at their high school gradua-tion ceremony.
She remembers stand-ing in front of big grad audience at the Centrium. “It was a really big step for me to sing this song, and wonder what the re-ception would be ... but the crowd accepted me.”
Getting applause for her talents felt like “the opposite of my bullying experience,” said Metcal-fe, and encouraged her to pursue a career in music.
Metcalfe has since written songs with Duane Steel and Cindy Morgan, as well as such Nashville talents such as Grammy Award-winning songwrit-er Wayne Kirkpatrick and Byron Hill.
Another big step for her was meeting singer Stacie Roper from the group Hey Romeo, who liked Metcalfe’s music enough to bring it to the
attention of her label, Royalty Records.Metcalfe feels fortunate to have signed with the
40-year-old independent label that will allow her to retain creative freedom, while helping distribute her upcoming album, which was produced by Calgary’s Russell Broom (Jann Arden).
She said she selected the EP’s seven tracks based on what the songs have to say. Her first single My Heart Beats, which is getting play on KG Country, is about the perils of “dating” by text, while Bitter With the Rain is about the aftermath of a drunk driving crash.
MADD has expressed interest in the latter song, said Metcalfe, who would like to get involved with the anti-drunk driving group to do school tours.
As for what else she wants from the future, she laughed and said, “If I can make enough money to buy Kraft dinner and keep my horse through making music, I will be happy.”
Metcalfe performs on Oct. 24, 25 and Nov. 1 at the Royal West Show Jumping event at the Agrium in Calgary.

STORY FROM PAGE D1
Virginity no gimmick in
CW dramedyBY EMILY YAHR
ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
Giving a television show a perfect title — one that will grab attention, compel people to DVR it, easily translate into a hashtag — is complicated.
The above criteria sure gets easier, however, when you have anything related to sex or relation-ships in the title.
That’s how, over time, we’ve had such show titles as Dirty Sexy Money, Masters of Sex and even Cougar Town.
The main problem is that those types of names are gen-erally misnomers and just used to sell the show.
Dirty Sexy Money flamed out fairly quickly when the show was more boring than sexy. Cougar Town quickly trans-formed from a show about a 40-something lady dating younger guys into a comedy about grown-up friends. Mas-ters of Sex is a hit for Show-time, and though the show is about sex researchers, even the creator was reluctant to use the title and felt it was a “miscue.”
But that’s what sells, and is likely why CW stuck with Jane the Virgin as the title for its new dramedy that premiered Monday night. (Adapted from Ven-ezuelan telenovela Juana la Virgen.) Unlike other shows that have provocative names, this series title is more than a gimmick — it’s actually a crucial ele-ment of the show.
The fact that lead character Jane is indeed a vir-gin will be an important factor throughout the series, which TV critics already seem to adore after the first episode.
That’s because the whole show centers on quite the bizarre incident: 23-year-old Jane, dutifully fol-lowing her religious grandmother’s lessons and wait-ing until marriage to have sex, winds up pregnant.
It’s all due to a very confusing doctor’s visit where she’s accidentally artificially inseminated. With her married boss’ baby.
It’s a long story, but a very entertaining one, as Jane and her family cope with what just happened. The fact that Jane is saving herself until marriage is a prominent theme, from the very first scene (a pu-rity lecture from Grandma) to her mother’s hearing the news about her pregnancy and assuming Jane is the messiah.
The show spirals from there — the boss also hap-pens to be Jane’s former crush — but the related title will always have important roots in the show. In fact, it promises to fuel all the madness yet to come on the series, including the fact that Jane’s very patient fiance is none too pleased about the latest develop-ments.
Still, the show’s stars and creators admit that though the name is a genuine reflection of the show’s emotional crux, it could turn away some people. Gina Rodriguez (who plays Jane) mimicked people’s reactions to TVGuide.com:
“Oh the title, what could this be? This seems ri-diculous!”
Executive producer Ben Silverman doesn’t think it’s a problem if TV watchdog groups indeed do think it’s controversial.
“If they want to react to the title without seeing it, as many groups like to do,” he said at the Summer TCA Press Tour, according to Deadline, “hopefully it will generate some noise and attention.”

Five seasons in and The Walking Dead shows no signs of slowing down. If anything, it’s the opposite. About 17.3 million people watched the Season 5 pre-miere Sunday night, the highest ratings in the show’s history — and an absurdly large number of viewers for a cable drama.
Somehow, the zombie drama turned out to be a perfect storm of everything a cable network needs for a huge franchise: a plot that stretches along eter-nally, without the convoluted twists and turns that demand closure on other hit shows. An interchange-able cast that suffers little if a key person is killed off. Massive ratings despite no awards show recogni-tion. Lots and lots of zombies.
And it’s worked: The Walking Dead is still rou-tinely among worldwide trending topics on Sunday nights, in addition to its millions of viewers. Talking Dead, the weekly after-show devoted to analyzing the drama that preceded it in talk-show fashion (no, seri-ously) can land around 5 million viewers, numbers that certain broadcast networks would kill to have for their own dramas.
Naturally, plans for a spin-off are moving right along. In the announcement of the pilot order, AMC President Charlie Collier joked that the most fre-quent question he gets — besides fans asking wheth-er they can make a zombie cameo — is about how the zombie apocalypse is playing out in the greater world beyond its Georgia setting. Seems like that will be the agenda for the new show. The network is casting for a bunch of new characters.
Meanwhile, unlike many other serial action thrill-ers — we’re thinking of the meandering Lost and Homeland — The Walking Dead doesn’t bog down or burn out in a mystery that must be solved. What caused the zombie epidemic? Who cares: Writers quickly established a journey for day-to-day survival
as the entire storyline rather than a climactic save-the-world plot. And viewers seem to be satisfied with a plot that continues to mull the ethics of human behavior at the collapse of civilization — not to men-tion the many ways to kill a zombie.
Walking Dead’s willingness to send key characters to their grisly ends is actually a win-win. The show simply adds new characters, the audience stays loy-al, and some dearly departed regulars go on to better things in showbiz. As the Hollywood Reporter points out in a story about why The Walking Dead stars have trouble landing bigger roles on film and TV, the ac-tors fare better once a character is killed off, such as Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori) and Jon Bernthal (Shane), who both have new TV shows and movies lined up.
Through it all, producers seem to have moved beyond even caring about award shows. The show has won two Emmy Awards for prosthetic make-up category, and a few nominations for sound editing and special effects — the Golden Globes gave it a Best Drama Series nod back in its first season. Since then? Zilch. But with 16 million viewers tuning in in any given week, it’s highly unlikely that the network executives are losing sleep.
Speaking of the network, coincidentally — or may-be not — the highly-rated Season 5 premiere comes right on the heels of the announcement that AMC will halt production on all unscripted shows, aside from Talking Dead and a few others. “Scripted origi-nals are at the core of the AMC brand,” the network said in a statement, citing Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and Mad Men.
Except that Breaking Bad is long-gone and Mad Men will wind up next year. So if the spin-off works out, the Walking Dead franchise (already renewed for a sixth season) could make up quite a bit of AMC’s original programming. But something tells us the network won’t mind that one bit.

Modern Family actress Elizabeth Pena dies at 55LOS ANGELES — Elizabeth Pena,
the versatile actress who shifted be-tween dramatic roles in such films as Lone Star and comedic parts in TV shows like Modern Family, has died. She was 55.
Pena’s manager, Gina Rugolo, said Wednesday the Cuban-American ac-tress died Tuesday in Los Angeles of natural causes after a brief illness. No other details were provided.
Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Pe-na’s Hollywood career spanned four decades and included roles in such movies as La Bamba, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Jacob’s Ladder and Rush Hour. In filmmaker John Sayles’ Lone Star, she memorably portrayed a his-tory teacher who rekindles a romance with an old flame, played by Chris Coo-per.
Pena appeared on such TV shows as L.A. Law, Dream On, Resurrection Blvd. and Modern Family, where she played the mother of Sofia Vergara’s charac-ter, Gloria.
She starred in the 1980s sitcom I Married Dora in the titu-lar role as a housekeep-er from El Salvador who weds her employer to avoid deportation.
Pena also provided her voice to Disney-Pixar’s The Incredibles, the Justice League cartoon series and Seth MacFarlane’s Ameri-can Dad.
Pena most recently ap-peared on the El Rey Net-work drama Matador.
She is survived by her husband, two children, mother and sister.
Neil Patrick Harris to host the
Academy Awards in 2015LOS ANGELES — Neil Patrick Har-
ris is going for an awards-show tri-fecta, set to host the 2015 Oscars after four hosting stints at Broadway’s Tony Awards and two at TV’s Primetime Emmy Awards.
“To be asked to follow in the foot-steps of Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, and everyone else who had the great fortune of hosting is a bucket list dream come true,” Har-ris said in a statement Wednesday re-leased by the Academy of Motion Pic-ture Arts and Sciences.
The 41-year-old entertainer an-nounced his Oscar gig online Wednes-day. He posted a video on Twitter of him on the phone saying, “I’m in,” then showing a close-up of his bucket list and circling “Host the Oscars.”
Academy Awards co-producer Neil Meron confirmed the casting on Twit-ter. He and co-producer Craig Zadan said they’ve known Harris “his entire adult life.”
“We have watched him explode as a great performer in feature films, tele-vision and stage,” the producing pair said in the academy statement.
“To work with him on the Oscars is the perfect storm, all of his resources and talent coming together on a global stage.”
Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs called Harris “the consummate entertainer.”
The Tony Awards telecast won Em-mys all four years that Harris hosted and helped produce the program.
It’s been a busy week for the multi-hyphenate star, who released his book, Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography,” on Tuesday. He also appears in the nation’s top movie, Gone Girl.
He wrapped his hit series How I Met Your Mother earlier this year and won a Tony Award for his starring role in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
The 87th Academy Awards are set for Feb. 22, 2015, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Joan Rivers died of low blood oxygen as
complication of surgery
NEW YORK — The New York City medical examiner says Joan Rivers died from low blood oxygen during a medical procedure.
The comedian, who was 81, died Sept. 4. She had been hospitalized since Aug. 28 when she went into car-diac arrest during a routine medical procedure at a doctor’s office to check out voice changes and reflux.
Medical examiner spokeswoman Julie Bolcer said Thursday that the cause was brain damage due to lack of oxygen. It is classified as a therapeutic complication, meaning that the death resulted from a predictable complica-tion of surgery.
The New York state health depart-ment is investigating the circumstanc-es.
Her daughter Melissa Rivers says in a statement that the family continued to be saddened by the tragic loss.

INBRIEF
Fargo a golden time for TolmanBY THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Allison Tolman says it feels “bittersweet” to not be returning to FX’s Fargo.
Her plucky performance as Det. Molly Solverson won her hordes of fans and an Emmy nomination. But the second season will be set in the past, meaning Tolman and fellow stars in-cluding Colin Hanks won’t be back.
“I’m so sad to not be going back with them because it was such an incred-ible golden time for me,” said Tolman.
“I’m also so thrilled and so thank-ful for the opportunity that this has opened up for me. I’m just really excit-ed to see, if it’s not ’Fargo,’ then what the next thing is. I can’t wait to see what the next thing is going to be.”
Showrunner Noah Hawley has ad-mitted it’s a “crime and a tragedy” to let go of Tolman, a previously unknown actress whose Molly quickly won the hearts of fans and critics. But he said it would be “disingenuous” to give her character another wild, Coen brothers-esque case to solve, so he decided to set season 2 in 1979.
“I got my butt to L.A. pretty fast as soon as I found that out,” said Tolman with a laugh. “I certainly didn’t want to squander this awesome opportu-nity that I was afforded by landing this role ... It feels like a lot of responsibil-ity. There’s a big potential for a sopho-more slump.”
Season 1 of Fargo is available on DVD and Blu-ray now. The 10-episode story followed Molly and another of-ficer, Gus Grimly (Hanks), as they tried to solve a series of murders linked to hapless insurance salesman Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) and vio-lent criminal Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton).
Tolman, 32, had been temping as a receptionist at a consulting firm for $11 an hour when she auditioned for Molly. She had moved to Chicago from Dallas about five years earlier to study at Second City’s famed comedy pro-gram.
She felt the chances of her landing
the Fargo role were “far-fetched,” but she threw in a tape anyway. Tolman didn’t even tell her family and friends that she made it through callbacks. When Hawley finally phoned her to tell her she had won the part, she was “stunned.”
“I was very polite and then I told him I had to go back to work,” she said, laughing. “I did try to finish out my work day, but I couldn’t focus and had to just leave and start calling my fam-ily.
“I remember the distinct feeling of waking up the next morning. It was like
when you have a really good dream where you bought a car or you won some money, and then you wake up and you’re like, ‘Oh, man, that was my dream.’ I remember distinctly feeling that way the next morning and think-ing, ‘Oh God, did that really happen?”’
Tolman had been working as an actress for years, whether in theatre or commercials or improv and sketch comedy. But Fargo marked her first television series.
“My main concern was that I had never done this before and I wasn’t going to know the technical side of it.
The acting part, I felt like, ‘OK, I know how to do that.’ I’ve been doing that. But I was so worried people were go-ing to have to wait for me to catch up,” she said.
“But everyone was so patient and kind and generous with their knowl-edge. It was a steep learning curve, but I caught on pretty quickly. And it turned out I didn’t have any reason to be so intimidated because my co-stars were all really delightful, down-to-Earth people.”

Ebola response defendedDISEASE-STRICKEN NURSE BEING MOVED FROM DALLAS
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Health officials said Thursday they still don’t know how two Dallas nurses caught Ebola from a patient, as criticism increased from lawmakers who questioned whether the U.S. is pre-pared to stop the deadly virus from spreading in the country.
The revelation that one of the hospital nurses was cleared to fly on a commercial airline the day be-fore she was diagnosed raised new alarms about the American response to the Ebola outbreak in West Af-rica. The death toll is expected to climb above 4,500 in Africa, all but a few within Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the World Health Organization said.
In Sierra Leone, the government announced the virus had infected two people in the last part of the country that had been free of the disease, in the mountainous north, despite aggressive steps to keep it at bay.
President Barack Obama authorized a call-up of reserve and National Guard troops in case they are needed. His executive order would allow more forc-es than the up-to 4,000 already planned to be sent to West Africa, and for longer periods of time.
A ban on travel to the U.S. from the Ebola-stricken countries, sought by some Republican lawmakers, is not under consideration, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Thursday.
Obama believes the U.S. already is taking the nec-essary steps to protect the public by screening pas-sengers as they depart West Africa and again when they enter the U.S., Earnest said.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon made another urgent appeal for funds, saying that a trust fund he launched to provide fast and flexible funding for the fight against Ebola has only received $100,000 of the $20 million pledged.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the trust fund is part of a nearly $1 billion UN appeal for hu-manitarian needs in West Africa.
Nina Pham, a nurse who contracted Ebola after treating a Liberian man in Dallas, was being flown to the National Institutes of Health outside Washing-ton on Thursday, while a second nurse, Amber Joy Vinson, has already been transferred to a biohazard infectious disease centre at Emory University Hospi-tal in Atlanta.
The two nurses had been involved in providing care to Thomas Duncan, who died of Ebola last week.
In Washington, the chairman of a House commit-tee cited “demonstrated failures” in the govern-ment’s response. Rep. Tim Murphy said during a hearing that the “trust and credibility of the admin-istration and government are waning as the Ameri-can public loses confidence each day.”
Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention, testified that despite the latest incidents, “we remain confident that our public health and health care systems can prevent an Ebola outbreak here.”
In his prepared testimony, the Texas hospital’s chief clinical officer, Dr. Daniel Varga, admitted the facility had made mistakes in Duncan’s initial treatment, and he apologized for that. Duncan was initially sent home from the emergency room with antibiotics for his high fever, despite saying he’d come from Liberia.
In Europe, Spain’s government is wrestling with similar questions. The condition of a nursing as-sistant infected with Ebola at a Madrid hospital ap-peared to be improving, but a person who came in contact with her before she was hospitalized devel-oped a fever and was being tested Thursday.
That second person is not a health care worker, a Spanish Health Ministry spokesman said.
NEPAL
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A Canadian survivor of the Nepal avalanche that killed at least 27 people has described a harrowing tale of being buried waist-high in thick, heavy snow on a “nightmare” of a day.
Quebecer Sonia Leveque said she thought she was going to die and that she and her fellow trekkers are fortunate to be alive.
“We fought for survival and we were lucky,” she said in an interview from Nepal with RDI, Radio-Canada’s all-news network.
“I think nobody in the group wanted to die.”She said that Tuesday was a “nightmare” and that
nobody in her small group saw the avalanche com-ing.
“It happened extremely quickly — within seconds, we were separated,” Leveque said.
“Three people in our group were swept away (and) we tried to find them but there was about 20 metres of snow accumulated at the bottom of the ava-lanche.”
The death toll in the tragedy was revised upward Thursday to 27, with four Canadians among the dead and others among the roughly 70 people missing.
Leveque said she and her fellow travellers re-mained shaken up on Thursday but will stay in Kath-mandu for at least a few days to see how the rest of the rescue operation unfolds.
One of the men in her group lost his wife in the tragedy and Leveque said it was important to stay with him to give him support.
She also had not yet decided whether to finish her expedition, but admitted she has concerns about the fresh snow covering the mountains.
“We were supposed to be in the mountains until mid-November,” Leveque said. “Maybe we’ll forgo the snow-covered ones but not the others.”
Three Quebec women were reported missing, including Genevieve Adam. Her father feared the worst as he travelled to Nepal.
“He wants to be there with her,” said Francois Adam, the man’s brother. “It’s his little girl and he won’t leave her there.”
But Adam was not optimistic.“The last information did not give us a lot of
hope,” he told RDI. “She was caught in the ava-lanche that rolled down and, unfortunately, there’s not much hope.”
Adam said his niece was asleep in her tent with other trekkers at the time.
“What I know is that it happened at around four o’clock in the morning,” he said. “She was sleeping, (and) bang! it hit and passed over them and they were carried down along with the avalanche. It hap-pened just like that.”
Adam said Genevieve loved to travel and that it was her dream to visit Nepal and trek in the Hima-layas.

MURSITPINAR, Turkey — In its battle for the Syr-ian town of Kobani, the Islamic State group enjoys a key advantage: a supply of weapons, ammunition and fighters shuttling between Syria and Iraq.
The town’s Syrian Kurdish defenders, while backed by airstrikes from the U.S.-led coalition, are outnumbered, poorly armed and squeezed against the unwelcoming Turkish border. Reflecting growing desperation despite their success so far in holding out, Syrian Kurdish officials are increasingly their appeals to better arm the defenders.
“From the start, we said the coalition’s airstrikes will not be able to save Kobani or to defeat Daesh in the area,” said Idriss Nassan, deputy head of Ko-bani’s foreign relations committee, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.
“We call upon the international community to open a humanitarian safe passage to allow in food, medicine, and weapons supplies,” Nassan said.
It’s unclear what friendly countries could do. Weapons for Kurdish fighters would have to cross through Turkey — a request the Ankara government is likely to rebuff.
The Islamic State group launched its Kobani of-fensive in mid-September, capturing dozens of near-by Kurdish villages and a third of the town in light-ning advances that sent waves of civilians fleeing over the border into Turkey.
Bolstered by the intensified air campaign target-ing the Islamic State group, Kurdish militiamen were able to regain some of the positions they lost in recent days. The U.S. Central Command said Thurs-day it most recently launched 14 airstrikes on Islam-ic State group targets near Kobani, hitting 19 build-ings and two command posts, as well as fighting and sniper positions, and a heavy machine-gun.
“Indications are that airstrikes have continued to slow ISIL advances, but that the security situation on the ground in Kobani remains tenuous,” the military said, using another acronym for the group.
But the Kurds fear their luck will run out without
heavier weapons and more fighters to back their cause. About 3,000 to 4,000 Kurds are fighting to block the Sunni militant group from seizing Kobani, according to estimates.
They have urged Turkey to open the border to al-low members of the Kurdish militia in northwestern Syria — known as the People’s Protection Units, or YPG — to travel through Turkish territory to rein-force Kobani.
But Turkey is wary of the Syrian Kurds and their YPG militia, which it believes is affiliated with the Kurdish PKK movement in southeast Turkey that has waged a long and bloody insurgency.
This week, Turkish forces shelled PKK fighters in the country’s southeast and said the coalition should fight both the Islamic State group and the govern-ment forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The Syrian Kurdish fighters, who include a few women, are armed only with AK-47s and other light weapons, according to Sirwan Kajjo, a Syrian Kurd-ish analyst who has been in frequent contact with frontline forces.

HONG KONG — Riot police moved in on a Hong Kong pro-democracy protest zone in a dawn raid on Friday, taking down barricades, tents and canopies that have blocked key streets for more than two weeks.
Hundreds of police officers, some in helmets and shields, descended in the early morning on the busy district of Mong Kok, an offshoot protest zone across the Victoria Harbor from the main occupied area in the city’s financial district.
The dawn operation — the third in recent days by police to retake streets from protesters — came hours after Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying sought to defuse a bitter standoff with student-led democracy protesters by reviving an offer of talks over democratic reforms in the city.
Police surrounded about 30 protesters, who did not put up resistance. There were no clashes be-tween the two sides, but several activists lay down on the street after the operation and refused to budge.
Officers swiftly tore down metal barricades, bam-boo and wooden planks used by protesters to block off the streets, and much of the protest zone was cleared in about half an hour.
Leung said Thursday the protests, which have disrupted traffic in key roads and streets in three business districts since Sept. 26, could not go on in-definitely.
Protesters have taken over major roads and streets in business and shopping districts across the city since Sept. 26 to press for a greater say in choos-ing the semiautonomous Chinese city’s leader in an
inaugural direct election, promised for 2017.Tensions between the authorities and the protest-
ers have escalated in the past few days as riot police armed with pepper spray and batons clashed with activists.
Hundreds of police scuffled with protesters as they battled for control for a road near the city’s gov-ernment headquarters on Wednesday. Many in Hong Kong condemned police after officers were seen kicking a handcuffed protester and dragging dozens of others away.
Leung said government is ready to meet with stu-dent leaders as soon as next week, but urged them to be pragmatic, reiterating that Beijing will not change its mind on election restrictions. That raised doubts that the proposed meeting can overcome the vast dif-ferences between the two sides.
Students and activists oppose Beijing’s ruling that a committee stacked with pro-Beijing elites should screen candidates in the territory’s first direct elec-tion. That effectively means that Beijing can vet can-didates before they go to a public vote.
Alex Chow of the Hong Kong Federation of Stu-dents welcomed Leung’s offer but criticized the government for setting preconditions. Many other demonstrators gathered in the main protest zone late Thursday echoed his view.
“I paid attention to what (Leung) said but I couldn’t find anything constructive. He didn’t say anything new and I don’t think it is going to break this deadlock,” said Tong Wing-ho, 26.
A key thoroughfare in Admiralty, near the heart of the city’s financial district, remain occupied by protesters.

TORONTO — It’s not exactly the bi-onic eye that gave the Six Million Dol-lar Man of 1970s TV fame extraordi-nary vision, but a new implant is help-ing some people with virtually no sight due to degenerative retinal diseases make more sense out of light and dark images, and it may one day dramati-cally improve their ability to see.
Doctors at Toronto Western Hospi-tal have implanted the Argus Retinal Prosthesis System in the first two pa-tients as part of a 10-person clinical study, the first such operations per-formed in Canada.
The device implanted in the eye uses a tiny patch containing 60 elec-trodes that transfer image impulses to the retinal nerves, which then travel through the main optic nerve to the brain for processing.
The images are sent to the eye through a tiny video camera on the bridge of a special pair of glasses, which are wired to a small battery-operated computer modulator that’s worn outside the body.
“Bionic eye is a good word,” said ophthalmologist-in-chief Dr. Robert Devenyi, who is part of the surgical re-search team.
“It’s an artificial device that stimu-lates electronically what normally the body would do ... It stimulates the eye directly,” Devenyi said Tuesday of the device, explaining that it bypasses the layer of the eye where receptors called rods and cones normally convert light energy into neuronal signals.
Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels, while cones are reac-tive at higher light levels, are capable of colour vision and provide high spa-tial acuity. In patients with retinitis pigmentosa and other degenerative retinal diseases, the rods and cones are missing.
Although vision achieved with the retinal implant is not like regular sight, it does allow the person to per-ceive patterns of light that the brain can be trained to recognize.
Orly Shamir, who was born with Leber Congenital Amaurosis, received the first implant June 5, and she has al-ready seen improvement in her ability to discern light from dark — something she has not been able to do for the last 10 years.
Shamir, 46, said she had limited vi-sion as a child but was able to read large print and get around unaided. In her mid-20s her vision started to de-cline gradually, and by her mid-30s she suddenly couldn’t make out sights most of us take for granted — the denomina-tion on paper money, the details of her face in a mirror. Eight years ago she got a guide dog.
“For the last 10 years now, I’ve had only a bit of light perception. There’s no definition, there’s nothing that I can use in order to get by,” Shamir told a media briefing announcing the first two surgeries.
But just three months after the op-eration, Shamir said she is able to make out white squares that move from place to place on a black com-puter screen, an exercise that is part of her visual rehabilitation program at Toronto Western.
“I’m still in the beginning stages. Before the surgery I couldn’t find im-ages or movement on the computer screen. There was nothing that I could detect,” she said. “Now I’m able to see movement. I can’t tell the direction, but I can see movement.”
The rehab is meant to retrain her brain to decipher the images she re-ceives through the implant. Part of that process is having a rehab profes-sional come to her Toronto home to help adapt the system for day-to-day activities, such as walking outside and being able to see where grass turns to sidewalk, for instance.
“Or in my kitchen, I’ll be able to see on the counter where there’s a plate or whatever that I’m looking for.”
Shamir said the more she practises, the more she’s able to recognize ob-jects and features around her, even if it is only by identifying certain shapes and textures.
“It’s like starting all over again and one day I might see something I never saw before,” said the married moth-er of three boys who works as a bank credit analyst. “And it’s like, ’Oh, wow. I could see this or I could at least know it’s there.”’
One of her most exciting moments came when a rehab specialist showed her a board covered in black and white stripes, and she was able to see them as bands in contrasting shades.
“My next step is to go to the Toronto zoo and find some zebras,” she said, laughing.
Devenyi said Shamir’s ability to see even that “is remarkable,” and he called the eye implant a medical ad-vance he hadn’t expected to see in his lifetime.
Because the computer modulator is external, any software updates or bat-tery recharging can be done without another invasive surgery, he said.
But giving a patient the so-called bi-onic eye isn’t cheap: the implant alone runs US$144,000, and then there are the costs of the fairly complicated sur-gery and the visual rehabilitation, he said.
The Argus implant, developed by California-based company Second Sight, is not yet approved for wide-spread use in Canada, although it has been given the green light by the U.S. FDA. Devenyi expects that Health Canada will soon approve the device, however, and the Toronto Western team plans to approach the Ontario government about funding the implant surgery.
About 35 or 40 implants have been performed in the U.S., he said, noting that most patients have since learned to walk around on their own and are able to identify and reach for objects on a table, for example, without help.
“Some people have even been able to read quite large letters. So it’s petty remarkable.”
Ian Nichols, 76, slowly lost his vi-sion over the years due to retinitis pig-mentosa, to the point where he was declared legally blind and had to start using a white cane to get around. For more than 20 years, the now-retired Anglican priest has lived with little light perception and no useful vision.
But what happened two weeks after his Sept. 4 implant surgery has given him a big ray of hope.
When asked to find the white block on the black computer screen dur-ing visual rehab, “I scanned (with the video camera) and I reached out and landed right on the square,” said the Toronto resident.
“When I first put my finger on that square, and (the technicians) said
’Right on!’ that was really exciting and emotional,” he said. “I got a bit choked up about that.”
Devenyi said the Foundation for Fighting Blindness, which helped fund the implants, estimates that 1,000 to 1,500 patients would be candidates for the surgery based on current criteria.

Traffic court

hits bumps
Surveillance catches flagrant idling in city
BY CRYSTAL RHYNO
ADVOCATE STAFF
In just about any communi-
ty, drive-through restaurants
are the biggest source of ve-
hicle idling.
Red Deer is no different.
Last July, 26 out of 30 ve-
hicles in the McDonald’s Res-
taurant (3020 22nd St.) drive-
through lineup kept their ve-
hicles running for a total of
182 minutes, over the course
of one hour.
But the worst offenders
aren’t necessarily just at drive-
throughs
A driver of an SUV in the
Sobeys South parking lot kept
his motor running for 26 min-
utes that same summer.
Another driver of an SUV
idled his vehicle for 27 min-
utes at St. Teresa of Avila
School while presumably wait-
ing for his children.
“For me it was a little bit
surprising to see the length
of time that people idle,” said
Nancy Hackett, the city’s Envi-
ronmental Initiatives supervi-
sor. “Some vehicles were idling
for 19 or 26 minutes. That is re-
ally a long time to leave your
vehicle running while you are
in a grocery store or in a pub-
lic building.”
Hackett referred to some of
the findings of the city’s first
informal idling monitoring
campaign conducted last sum-
mer. The city is now in the fifth
year of its idle-free awareness
campaign designed to encour-
age residents to turn off the
key. There are nine businesses
or institutions and 28 schools
in the coalition.
Signs are up at the sites en-
couraging motorists to turn the
key off.
Six locations around the
city were under surveillance
by a summer student paid
through a Volunteer Alberta
program.
The student was tasked
with recording several obser-
vations, including the num-
ber of vehicles idling, the
time spent idling and time
of day.
Hackett said this is part
of the community-based ap-
proach in which they want to
understand what is happening
in the community.
A sample of locations
were monitored — the Col-
licutt Centre, downtown Red
Deer, McDonald’s, Sobeys
(2110 50th Ave.), Normandeau
School and St. Teresa of Avila
School, at different times of
the day.

ADVOCATE STAFF
Efforts to free up courtroom
space in Red Deer are getting
a thumbs down from people
involved in traffic court.
Effective April 1, a variety
of non-criminal matters that
had been heard in the Red
Deer Courthouse were moved
to a meeting room in the Red
Deer Lodge Hotel, about four
blocks away.
The idea behind the move
was to create more space for
criminal and family court
in Red Deer’s 30-year-old
courthouse, which now cov-
ers a wider area and serves
a much larger population
than it did in 1982 when it
was built.
With prospects for a larger
building still in the discussion
stages, Alberta Justice has
made a number of moves to
increase efficiencies in Red
Deer, including moving traffic
court out altogether.
Red Deer Lodge Hotel man-
ager Kevin Ritchie said ear-
lier this week that the move
has been “fabulous” for his
facility, which has an ongoing
booking for traffic court on
Mondays and Tuesdays, when
there is less demand for meet-
ing rooms than later in the
week.
There’s plenty of parking,
it’s free, and access to the
room used for court is right in-
side the front entry so the doz-
ens of people coming to deal
with their tickets do not get in
the way of the hotel’s custom-
ers, said Ritchie.
Hosting traffic court has not
brought much extra business
into the hotel, but that’s not an
issue, said Ritchie.
But people at the sharp end
of the justice systems have
identified a number of “incon-
veniences” involved with the
move, including a reduction in
the level of security available
in the courthouse.
“We anticipated there
were going to be some diffi-
culties, and certainly, there
are,” said Crown prosecutor
Rob Gregory, a paralegal who
has been looking after traffic
court in Red Deer since last
year.The commissioner presid-
ing over traffic court deals
with offences under a variety
of provincial statutes and mu-
nicipal bylaws, including traf-
fic, wildlife, gaming and liquor
and occupational health and
safety infractions.
Sentences may include jail
time.That can be a problem,
because the hotel room is
covered by private security
guards who do not have the
authority to arrest or detain
people, said Gregory.
Sheriffs must be called to
the hotel whenever someone
is to be taken into custody and
Sheriffs must also be called
anytime there is someone in
the court who is known to be
violent or non-compliant, he
said.Lack of screening at the
front door is less of an issue,
said Gregory.
There is no screening in cir-
cuit court, either, but security
is provided by Alberta Sher-
iffs, he said.
Additionally, Alberta Jus-
tice court services did not
make allowances for a private
interview room, so there is
always an issue of finding a
private place to interview wit-
nesses, said Gregory.

Two is better than one, although one is ex-
ceptional all on its own.
The first Stantec BFF (Best Friends For-
ever) Ladies Golf Tournament on Monday at
River Bend Golf Course featured two holes in
one.Golfers Paulette Hanson of Rocky Mountain
House and Kim Lee of Red Deer won $25,000
each to go towards a new vehicle at Ponoka
Dodge Chrysler, pending insurance verifica-
tion of their holes in one.
The aces occurred at the eighth and 16th
holes (par threes).
“It was crazy. Gord Bamford’s annual golf
classic has never even seen holes in one for the
big prizes,” said Tera Lee Flaman, one of the
main organizers behind the event.
“It’s very, very rare. Most golf tournaments
never see a hole in one. ... We were very excit-
ed. At one of our early meetings, Lyn Radford
said, ‘I’d sure love if someone won one of these
hole in ones,’ and we had two!”
Radford, a longtime well-known volunteer in
the community, was also one of the organizers.
Flaman added that hole in one winner Lee
hadn’t played golf in over eight years.
The tournament was held in support of wom-
en’s athletics through Red Deer College and
the Red Deer Games Foundation.
A number of well-known female athletes
from Central Alberta participated, including
Olympian Mellisa Hollingsworth.
The final fundraising total was not available
at press time on Tuesday but organizers are
calling it a success and already planning for
next year.

Lee Adamson may have been nipped out at the line in the dash for cash, but the blow was softened by wrapping up his second North American Pony Chuckwagon Champion-ship — 20 years after the first — at the Westerner Days on Sunday.
The Camrose driver’s over-all time of six minutes, 32.43 seconds was 3.06 seconds fast-er than Neil Salmond of Week-es, Sask. in the Uncle Ben’s RV outfit, who did win the final race and $4,500 cheque with a time of 1:16.91.
“It’s always special to win a big show like this,” said Ad-amson who was driving the A-1 Rentals rig. “The best of the best are here in Red Deer and you always want to show well in a show like this.”
Adamson held a lead of 3.36 seconds after four heats, an almost insurmountable lead as long as he ran a clean final race but the competitor in him did not want to play safe.
“You know when you’re in a heat like that, you want to win the show, but you throw it balls out, type thing. You want to make sure you’re right there with the boys and make it a good show,” he said.
Even bigger for Adamson, 46, was the chance to watch his son develop over the week.
Cole Adamson, 18, was driv-ing his grandfather’s — Ray Adamson — Pidherny’s wagon in Red Deer, the third event this year he’s had the chance to do so.
After a couple of tough penalties knocked him out of contention the first couple of days, he was one of the fast-est drivers over the last three heats.
The proud papa says he will be the new full-time driver of that wagon going forward.
“He’s come a long ways,” said Adamson of his son.
“It’s his first year wagon driving, but he’s going to be a good driver, there’s no ques-tion there. We figure if we can get him the good horses he’ll do the rest.”
Adamson was the sixth ranked driver in the All-pro Canadian Chuckwagon and Chariot Association stand-ings heading into this past week with strong showings in Grande Prairie, Saddle Lake and Ponoka. With his win at the North American Pony Chuckwagon Championships, he should jump up a few more places.
In third place was defend-ing champion and eight-time champ Keith Wood out of Saddle Lake in the Westock Frame & Wheel Alignment Ltd. rig in Red Deer at 6:36.22, while Sedgewick’s Curtis Hogg was fourth at 6:36.23 in the Kel-lough Enterprises Inc. wagon.
Rounding out the top 10 were Louis Johner of May-erthorpe (Paradise RV in Red Deer, 1:17.43 on Sunday, 6:31.13 total), Gary Thiel of Sherwood Park (Pumps & Pressure Inc. in Red Deer, 1.18.07 Sunday, 6.37.42 total), Kevin Desjarlais

Bionic eye gives some vision, promise
Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS
Orly Shamir, a credit analyst, wears the Argus Retinal Prosthesis System (Argus II) while posing with her guide dog Francie in Toronto. Shamir, who was born with an eye disorder affecting the retina, had a retinal prosthesis surgically implanted to stimulate the eye and functionally restore her vision.
