OLDS — Efforts to solve the emergency care crisis in Consort helped spur Premier Jim Prentice to call for a comprehensive rural health care review on Tuesday.

Prentice announced a panel led by MLA Richard Starke will review the delivery of health care in under-serviced rural and remote areas. The pan-el’s first recommendations are to be on the desk of Health Minister Stephen Mandel in 90 days.

“The timeline clearly is short. We recognize that. That’s intentional. We need to see practical and tangible solutions that can be implemented without delay,” Prentice said.

He made the announcement at a press conference at Olds Hospital and Care Centre on Tuesday morn-ing along side Mandel.

Prentice said many rural communities face daunt-ing health care challenges, including recruiting and retaining health professionals and staff; caring for patients, having to travel long distances, and the need to co-ordinate services with neighbouring com-munities. In 2011, Consort Community Health Centre lost its five acute care beds due to a lack of doctors. Since then, the community found the doctors needed but negotiations are still underway with Alberta Health Services to reinstate the beds.

Prentice said the commitment of the people of Consort to find solutions was really a catalyst for the review.

“I want to stress this is not about closing rural hospitals,” the premier said.

Panel member Bonnie Sansregret, who chairs the Consort and District Medical Centre Society, called the review an exciting opportunity.

“Sometimes we have patients who have to travel an hour, an hour and half, and it’s a worry when you have a child who has a fever, you have a husband or grandfather that’s having a heart attack or a stroke. Those golden hours are very crucial,” Sansregret said.

She was undeterred by the 90-day deadline, de-spite a three-year wait for Consort to get its acute care beds reopened.

“It’s a new day isn’t it. New premier. New health minister,” Sansregret said.

Recommendations for rural communities with a population of 1,250 or less, like Consort, will be sub-mitted in 90 days. The next phase of the review will look at populations between 1,250 and 2,500, followed by the final stage for populations over 2,500.

Prentice said Sansregret will bring community perspective to the table. The panel has three mem-bers in addition to its chair.

Corb Lund could write a song about this one, but who would believe it?

A lifetime resident of Red Deer pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a series of thefts that could likely only happen in a place like Canada, where the snow was still knee deep in early April.

In fact, deep snow and layers of winter clothes played significant roles in a low-speed pursuit in-volving a stolen snowmobile, a stolen quad, some stolen rifles, a stolen tractor and a Mountie hitching a ride on yet another snowmobile.

“These are a rather unusual set of circumstances,” Crown prosecutor Maurice Collard said in describ-ing the arrest of Jesse Cecka, 29, on the afternoon of April 2 in a field east of Red Deer.

It started inside a rural residence near the inter-section of Hwys 595 and 816, Collard advised judge Bart Rosborough in Red Deer provincial court.

Cecka took some jewelry from inside the house, and then went into an outbuilding where he found a

snowmobile and a locked gun case. He broke into the gun case and found seven firearms, loaded them onto the snowmobile and took off.

Then he got stuck.He stashed the

guns in some hay bales and went to another residence, where he broke into an outbuilding and found a side-by-side quad inside.

He was heading back to retrieve the firearms when the quad got stuck, said Collard.

He went back to the farm and got a tractor with a front-end loader, drove it back to retrieve the firearms and then headed across country, narrowly avoiding a Quonset and breaking through several fence lines before the tractor stalled.

By this time, RCMP had been notified of strange goings on in the fields and two members were dis-patched to the scene.

One officer said he was flagged down by a farmer on a snowmobile, who offered him a ride after the

fleeing tractor, following its tracks.Another officer located the tractor where it had

stalled and he approached, using his baton to break open the driver’s window. Cecka looked at a him and

continued to work on starting the machine. The officer launched a Taser into the cab of the tractor, but it had no effect.

RCMP officers typically use a longer dart on their Tasers

because Canadians tend to wear thicker clothes, said Collard. Cecka had a jacket on underneath an oilskin coat. The barbed dart stuck in his clothes, but did not have any effect on the suspect, who was able to get the tractor running again.

Fearing death or personal injury, the officer got off the tractor’s back wheel, unholstered his pistol and pointed it at Cecka, who looked at him again and drove off.

A proposed gravel pit near Markerville has been rejected a fourth time.

Red Deer County’s subdivision and development appeal board rejected an appeal launched by Wen-dell Miller of 6M Holdings Ltd., who wants to build a gravel pit on 28 acres next to the Medicine River south of Markerville.

His application was turned down in June by the county’s municipal planning commission. A previous application — much larger in scope — was turned down in 2010, and an appeal also failed.

A group of nearby landowners has been fighting against the project, arguing it is on a floodway, could damage an aquifer and fish habitat and would create noise, dust and traffic problems.

Submissions were made to the board by both sides during a two-day appeal hearing earlier this month.

In its decision dated Monday, the appeal board says it is “not satisfied that the proposed develop-ment would be an appropriate development with the ESA (Environmentally Significant Areas),” a county designation that protects certain areas from “inap-propriate development.”

The board says it had concerns with the impact of the development on groundwater and the Medicine River and a report from 6M’s consultants was not a “quantified assessment of the proposed gravel pit on ground water resources.”

Potential flooding was also highlighted as a con-cern. The board notes a berm proposed in the ear-lier application was not included in the scaled-down

project. Eliminating the berm left “insufficient evi-dence” that conclusions reached in previous envi-ronmental studies that the project would not pose flooding problems remained valid.

“Additionally, the board was concerned about the noise generated by the proposed development and its impact on adjacent landowners,” says the deci-sion, adding that the river valley carries and ampli-fies noise.

Traffic was also pointed out as a concern by the board, which says there wasn’t enough evidence on truck load numbers to conclude there would be no detrimental impact on surrounding landowners.

The Council of Canadians Red Chapter, which supported the landowners and submitted a letter in opposition to the gravel pit, applauded the appeal board’s decision.

“In spite of the ongoing strategy of firms wishing to quarry gravel almost everywhere, repeatedly pro-posing mines and appealing denials in the hope they will grind down the finances and resolve of the local citizens, a proposed gravel mine in a shallow aquifer west of Innisfail, Alberta, has again been denied,” says treasurer Ken Collier in a statement.

The council opposed the project because of its potential impact on an aquifer that runs through the pit area.

Proponent Miller was reached on Tuesday but said he preferred not to comment until he had a chance to read the decision.

HEALTH: Not hold public hearings

Other members are past Alberta Medical Associa-tion president and rural physician Dr. Allan Garbutt, and president of the College and Association of Reg-istered Nurses of Alberta Dr. Shannon Spenceley.

The panel will not hold public hearings but more members can be added to the panel.

The review will be carried out in consultation with Health Advisory Councils and other stakehold-ers and health care experts to ensure local input.

The review is to focus on:● Timely access to appropriate health care.● Evaluation of specialist services in rural areas.● Optimizing the use of existing rural health fa-

cilities, ensuring patient safety and quality services.● Ensuring communities are engaged in health

service planning and policy development.● Recruitment and retention of health personnel

in rural areas, consistent with appropriate levels of care.

● The link between rural economic development and the provision of health services within commu-nities.

“It’s a very, very short time frame to fix a very,

very big problem,” said Bruce Rowe, Wildrose MLA for Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills.

Kerry Towles, Wildrose MLA for Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, said Albertans need action, not another re-view.

“If (Prentice) actually listened to the frontline workers, and if he was out all summer listening to concerns — we don’t need a review. It’s pretty clear what Alberta needs. It’s more rural physicians, more primary care investment and more resources go-ing to our frontline services and our communities,” Towles said.

She said Wildrose has been after the Progressive Conservative government for a long time to give Con-sort back its acute care beds and reviews into rural health care have already been done.

In 2010, Alberta Health Services developed the Community and Rural Health Planning Framework, which was updated again in October 2012. A Rural Physician Action Plan already exists funded under the Department of Health.

Wildrose says Albertans don’t need another gov-ernment study to sit on a shelf.

“We’re not the kind of people that accumulate studies on shelves,” Prentice said.“I just think it’s a waste of time, of people’s time, to develop stud-ies and throw on the shelf. We will take steps to get things done,” Mandel said.

CHASE: Overbalanced

The chase came to a close as Cecka drove up a hill with the tractor’s bucket at his fullest height. Cecka was attempting to back up when the overbalanced tractor rolled. The two officers were able to arrest him without further difficulty.

Represented by defence counsel George Lebessis of Edmonton, Cecka pleaded guilty to five of seven charges against him, including break and enter of a dwelling house and multiple counts of theft.

He also admitted to possession of stolen property in connection with a later incident, when he was ar-rested in a wooded area of Gasoline Alley, immedi-ately south of Red Deer, while working on the engine of a stolen pickup truck.

Cecka apologized to the court for his crimes on Tuesday, saying he was sorry for the grief he caused to the farmer whose tractor he damaged and for the embarrassment caused to his family.

Cecka acknowledged that he has a drug problem and hopes to be admitted to the Fresh Start program in Calgary.

Collard asked for a global sentence of two and a half years on the April 2 incident, to be served con-secutively to a 120-day sentence on the Gasoline Al-ley arrest.

Lebessis asked for a shorter jail term with a pe-riod of probation to follow.

Rosborough adjourned sentencing to Thursday afternoon to review similar cases before pronounc-ing sentence.

Those lobbying for better health care in Sylvan Lake reacted with relief to news that proposed fam-ily care clinics will not be abandoned.

New Health Minister Stephen Mandel confirmed on Tuesday that nine family care clinics working their way through the approval process will not be scrapped.

“There’s nine of them in the queue, and we’re go-ing to look at those and see how to make them work,” said Mandel, who was in Olds to unveil the prov-ince’s new review of health care in rural and under-serviced areas.

Concerns were raised that the clinics — up to 140 in all — proposed by former premier Alison Redford would be abandoned as the province seeks to mod-ernize health care.

Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre was encour-aged that the province will honour its commitment to the nine proposed clinics. Three others already operating will also continue.

“That’s really what’s got us encouraged right now,” said McIntyre, who watched Mandel’s news confer-ence and a question-and-answer session online.

“Our global approach to developing and improv-ing health-care services to Sylvan Lake and area appears to be right in line with what Premier (Jim) Prentice and his government are proposing.”

Sylvan Lake hopes to take advantage of the family care clinic initiative to create a new health care cen-tre offering seven-day-a-week treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and ailments, with extended hours from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. It would include lab and diagnostic imaging (X-ray) services, observation beds and access to preventive treatment such as mental health services.

McIntyre said the area including Sylvan Lake, Bentley, Eckville, five summer villages and sur-rounding rural areas is 20,000 strong and needs bet-ter health care access.

“Despite the change in government, that need hasn’t changed.”

An 18-person volunteer committee has been work-ing for years on the local care clinic project.

The theme of Red Deer playwright Elena Rous-seau’s one-act play — immigrants transitioning from one culture into another — is about as topical as any-thing in the country today.

Rousseau’s one-act play Baba’s Perogies will be performed twice on Friday, free of charge, as part of Alberta Culture Days.

Rousseau, 48, came to Red Deer in 2002 from Ro-mania, where she was born and raised, growing up as Elena Mendeleac. She worked there in an Arabic embassy, translating Arabic into Romanian.

It was love that eventually brought her to Red Deer. She met her Canadian husband Brian Rous-seau in Romania, where they married. Then she and her two children from a previous marriage immigrat-

ed here. She is a permanent resident.Now, she’s also a student, artist, playwright and

poet.When Rousseau came to Red Deer, she realized

she didn’t know what to do here. Translating wasn’t in the picture.

She had always had an interest in the arts, and so she decided to go into visual arts because her Eng-lish wasn’t very good. Today, she is in her third year of working towards her master’s degree in English, via the Red Deer College/University of Calgary Col-laborative Program.

“I discovered here everything was fine but I was missing the traditions of my country, and when I came here I didn’t know about CARE (Central Al-berta Refugee Effort) and how it helps people get integrated into the new society.

Play about immigrants transitioning into new cultures opens Friday

ALBERTA A3WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 24, 2014

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BOWDEN, Alta. — A man convicted for his role in the shooting deaths of four Alberta Mounties has been grant-ed day parole and is pledging to hon-our the officer’s memories by proving he’s turned his life around.

Shawn Hennessey dabbed his eyes as the parole board ruled he will only have to stay at a halfway house in the evenings.

The board said the 36-year-old has taken responsibility for his actions and shown empathy for his victims.

“It will bother me for the rest of my life. The hurt I have caused for so many people will never go away,” Hen-nessey told the board Tuesday.

“I think four lives were torn apart that day. Their loved ones will never get their lives back. I am grateful to be able to return back to my family.”

Hennessey and his brother-in-law, Dennis Cheeseman, pleaded guilty to manslaughter for giving James Roszko a rifle and a ride to Roszko’s farm near Mayerthorpe in 2005.

Constables Peter Schiemann, An-thony Gordon, Brock Myrol and Leo Johnston had been guarding a Quonset hut on Roszko’s farm as part of a mari-juana grow-op and automobile chop-shop investigation.

Roszko ambushed and killed the four officers before he killed himself.

Hennessey was sentenced in 2009 to 10 years and four months for his role in the crime. Cheeseman was handed seven years and two months.

Cheeseman was granted statutory release late last year after serving two-thirds of his sentence, but was arrest-ed last month for having prescription drugs that were not in his name. He pleaded guilty to possession of a con-trolled substance and was fined $1,000.

Hennessey had already been grant-ed more unescorted, temporary ab-sences following a hearing a year ago. He has been allowed to visit his family for up to 78 hours, once every month, for six months. The board ruled Tues-day that those unescorted visits can continue.

His parole officer recommended that Hennessey be granted day parole, saying he has continued to take coun-selling and has been allowed out of the Bowden prison daily to work in the area.

Hennessey said he intends to seek marriage counselling once released to help with his transition. His wife Christine sat next to him during the two-hour hearing.

One of the board members noted that during the investigation, Hen-nessey admitted to an undercover offi-cer that he was having affairs with two other women and a 15-year-old girl.

Perhaps that is what the counselling should focus on, the board member wondered.

But Christine Hennessey said their marriage is fine.

“I am where I need to be with that. It’s going to hurt my feelings forever. It’s not going to go away,” she said.

“I personally don’t think we need it. I think we’re very strong.”

She said her husband has managed to keep in touch with his two daughters and doesn’t focus on what he has been going through in prison.

“Not the fact his heart is breaking because he can’t be there. He walks with his eyes open. He has become someone I rely on ... someone who owns up to his mistakes,” she said.

“He wants to come home. He’s ready to come home. We want him home.”

Hennessey does not have a job yet, but has an offer to work construction in the Barrhead, Alta., area, where his family lives.

None of the members of the officers’ families was on hand for Tuesday’s hearing.

The board noted that, but said there were many “heartbreaking” letters on file expressing their grief.

“I will prove I am a different per-son, that these things will never come from Shawn Hennessey again,” Hen-nessey said.

“I want to honour the victims and prove I have changed.”

His statutory release date is Dec. 29, 2015.

He is eligible to apply for full pa-role in six months.

Man convicted for role in Mayerthorpe shootings granted day parole

PLAY: Love of traditions

“I sort of had to do it on my own.”At some point, she realized she

could combine her love of traditions with her love of art and later writing.

The artist was always somewhere underneath. “It was only later, when I was forced to do something else, that I started to dig inside and see what were my passions.”

She discovered CARE and saw the “wonderful things they were doing for immigrants who arrived here alone.

“So I wrote this play, thinking of all these things.”

The director of Baba’s Perogies is Jan Underwood, public awareness co-ordinator and community educator for CARE.

“Jan asked to read it and she fell in love with the under messages,” said

Rousseau.“It’s very pertinent to the job that

I’m doing working with immigrants,” said Underwood.

The play, said Rousseau, is “about integration and the way to do it and about tradition and what to keep, what to let go, how much is too much to keep ... how much you can expect to carry with you without actually hurting the new life.”

The granddaughter of grandparents Baba and Dido wants to marry an Al-bertan.

The granddaughter knows grand-mother Baba is deep into tradition so she’s afraid to tell them about the young man in her life. Meanwhile, Ba-ba, who actually has no problem with the boyfriend, first thinks he’s a spy trying to steal her perogy recipe.

“I see in Baba my longing for the tradition that I left behind,” said Rous-seau.

“All my friends were left behind, it was very hard to make new friends because people didn’t know I had no friends.” And she was very shy. “Later on I started getting involved and you

do make friends.“Now, I don’t feel any sorrows for

moving here.“I think immigration appears more

and more in whatever it is I am doing. ... I am in love with all traditions, not just mine. I like to go to CARE and see other cultures. ... I see the theme re-curring in (my) art and in writing.

“Canada, she welcomes showing what you brought with you. It’s such as nice way to integrate into the new big-ger culture that Canada has.

“I couldn’t have come to a better place if I were to consider my love of all traditions.”

Baba’s Perogies will be performed at 2:15 p.m. on Friday on the Centennial Stage (enter through the alley behind the Scott Block). And later Friday, it can be seen at 6:30 p.m. at City Centre Stage in downtown Red Deer.

The evening performance also fea-tures the Mahana Polynesian Dancers, led by Teen Skeels, and singing by the newly formed multicultural Samasana Choir.

CARE: Business plan

A business plan is nearing comple-tion and is expected to be submitted to Alberta Health soon.

McIntyre said his council wants a face-to-face meeting with the premier and health minister to bring them up to speed on local health care efforts.

Wildrose Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Kerry Towle said the nine groups seek-ing family care clinics have put a lot of time and money into their proposals and business plans.

Those initiatives are an example of local decision making, she said.

“They came up with the solutions. The doctors have managed their own time to provide a solution and they’re being virtually ignored,” she said.

“We hope that Mr. Mandel will see that with those nine (family care clin-ics), he’ll continue to go forward and give them an answer very, very soon.”

Three seniors were bilked out of thousands each by scammers posing as bank investigators.

Red Deer RCMP said on Tuesday they have received three reports of se-niors victimized by someone phoning them posing as a “bank investigator.”

In each case, the victims were told the bank was investigating internal theft. The scammer asked targets to withdraw money from their account and bring it to a meeting place away from the bank. All three victims were defrauded of several thousands dol-lars each in the scam, which is com-mon across the country.

Police remind the public banks would never approach clients in this way. Families are urged to protect themselves by learning how to rec-ognize fraud. People can also help vulnerable family members by telling them about common frauds, or encour-aging them to lower daily withdrawal limits. Anyone with information on this scam is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at tipsubmit.com.

Red Deer city council got it right with their extraordinary resolution calling to place foreign worker issues onto the agenda of the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association annual con-vention.

The federal g o v e r n m e n t passed quick-fix legislation on its Temporary Foreign Worker program, and our new premier promises to con-sult earnestly with the feds on how those quick fixes are creating new problems. But the brunt of the decisions made by higher-ups is borne locally.

Therefore, it is entirely right for cit-ies to intervene, and get themselves at the table where national decisions are made on who can get a job here and who can’t.

I happen to do some part-time work for a local company whose job it is to bring skilled foreign workers and em-ployers together. This company helps workers certify their skills, meet certi-fied Canadian safety standards, and assist with the paperwork needed to get a new arrival into becoming part of

the local economy.That means getting them through

the process of registration for a social insurance number, a bank account, health care, a driver’s licence transfer, housing and local contacts for social support.

The hardest part? From my limited involvement, it’s finding affordable housing.

A group of welders and carpenters has just arrived in Red Deer, and most are expected to be out and on the job by the end of the week, on job sites across the province and into Saskatch-ewan.

Company representatives are cur-rently abroad with about a dozen em-ployers setting up a job fair where workers and employers can meet face-to-face. So we expect the next group of workers to arrive soon.

From my feedback, the employers involved can’t get their guys onto their worksites fast enough. The pay incen-tives for good results are pretty im-pressive (starting out at a much bet-ter annual salary than the best I ever earned in almost 40 years the news business).

My involvement in all this — help-ing to fill out forms, find housing and locate supports for new arrivals in the communities where these workers are going — leads me to agree with Red Deer city council’s concern with the human equation of the temporary for-eign worker program.

The biggest problem with the TFW program is not that foreigners are tak-ing jobs away from Canadians.

Do you want to work in heavy con-struction in Neilburg, Sask.? Find it on a map, drive out and if you’re qualified to work, you’re in. The pay is great and the people there are likewise.

Good luck finding a place to live in a Northern Saskatchewan town, popula-tion 500, far away from city amenities.

Not that interested? Didn’t think so.That’s only one example of the chal-

lenges many Alberta and Saskatche-wan companies are facing while trying to sustain our employment boom.

Rather, the biggest problem with the TFW program is the constant boom-and-bust cycle of our resource-based economy. I can only surmise, but I be-lieve the people higher up don’t really believe in immigration and don’t want outsiders to share in our prosperity, long-term.

My perspective tells me that when this boom is over, the government wants most of these skilled workers to be gone. Either that or they can join the army of foreign-trained doctors and surgeons driving cab or serving pizza in our major cities.

In all my contacts with these work-ers, the overwhelming consensus is that they want to become Canadians. They want to come to stay and to bring their families with them.

The talk around the table when they gather to talk among themselves and

with us often drifts toward entrepre-neurship. These are trained, motivated people who want to learn the rules and be able to use their skills to build a good life for their families.

These are the kind of positive, for-ward-thinking people we want in Can-ada.

No matter how much politicians cry about the current labour shortage in Alberta or Canada, I don’t see much goodwill or desire to get these new ar-rivals onto the citizenship stream. That makes the TFW program cynically du-plicitous.

There is an avenue whereby work-ers with the most-prized skills can achieve landed immigrant status and bring their families in. In fact, I find that to be the prime motivator among the groups I have met.

Sure, the money is great — far bet-ter than anything they could earn at home. But good money isn’t motivating enough Canadians into the jobs we’re talking about here, either.

The motivator is the opportunity to build a good life. Opportunity is Can-ada’s greatest selling point to people abroad.

I don’t see a lot of eagerness in Ot-tawa for Canada to actually sell that. Hence the “temporary” part of this flawed program.

Gap in the TFW logic

Compliments to cityfor great service;

and to thosewho make life betterI am an avid reader of all

things “newspaper-ish” and an inveterate clipper/sharer.

I would use this letter to give some compliments to a va-riety of city and community de-velopers and workers.

My compliments to:● The city for a smooth, al-

beit slow, traffic flow on Tay-lor Drive, either direction. Almost everyone curbs their impatience with the 30 km/h limit. It’s a well designed con-struction tool. I drive this twice daily.

● The Little Gaetz develop-ment, patio, Veterans Park, shop owners, gardeners, artists, musicians, and all who have refurbished the city centre and downtown. It’s wonderful and exciting.

● A super thanks for the se-niors services — Golden Circle Senior Resource Centre, Se-nior Citizens Downtown House, lending services, transit needs awareness.

● Another thanks for the family areas — water parks on 52nd Avenue and 47th Av-enue. It is such a delight to see groups, towels and food in hand, enjoying these venues. Sometimes we forget that not everyone has means or trans-port to leave the city.

● To the city churches and charities that make life more tolerable for folks and critters of our community.

● A tip of the hat to the Ad-vocate for printing the words of Gwynne Dyer, Greg Neiman, Chris Salomons and Harley Hay to encourage my clippings and sharing.

As a senior with mobility is-sues, I love the efficiency of downtown.

I recently invited my friends to share coffee on Ross Street while I waited for service on my car’s transmission.

What an awesome opportu-nity for us to enjoy a sense of community.

We even took a slow walk to enjoy the history markers.

Thank you, Red Deer.Betty Allen

INSIGHT

CANADA ISN’T INTERESTED IN MAKING TEMPORARY SKILLED WORKERS PERMANENT

BY STEFANIE KLETKESPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Alberta relies on water like no other province in the country.

In fact, Alberta’s water use accounts for two-thirds of Canada’s entire use, and our agricultural products — which ac-count for 60 to 70 per cent of Alberta’s water use — make up one-third of the country’s agricultural exports. Fully half of the province’s gross domestic product (GDP) is predicated on water availability.

To minimize the risk attached to such water dependency, important work is qui-etly underway to help Alberta plan for fu-ture uncertainties.

Tucked away in a small cubicle in the University of Alberta Biological Sciences building, down a hallway guarded by a tank of exotic fish, is an unassuming su-percomputer running a program called SWAT (soil and water assessment tool). Protected by its handwritten “Please do not turn off” sign, the supercomputer is creating hundreds of millions of simula-tions of Alberta’s river basins, attempting to create a computer model that mirrors exactly where and how much water we have had in the past 30 years, before mov-ing on to predict our water future. These simulations require constant tweaking, amounting to a year-long process and the first step in a three-year, $1-million proj-

ect begun in January of this year.The project, entitled Predicting Alber-

ta’s Water Future (PAWF), is supported by Alberta Innovates — Energy and En-vironment Solutions. The team’s work will help Albertans to effectively manage their most precious resource by provid-ing reliable predictions of both the sup-ply and demand over the next 50 years. It does so by taking into account not only the normal regional differences and sea-sonal fluctuation of our water resources, but also the ever-looming forces of cli-mate change and global warming.

But first, the team must wait for the supercomputer to compute and visualize vast amounts of data that address not only Alberta’s past water levels and weather reports, but also anything else that may have affected either of those things, such as glacier melt, the type of soil close to a river, or when and how much water was used for crop irrigation. Once the result-ing simulations can make ‘predictions’ for the past that match the historical da-ta, the computer model can be trusted to reliably predict for the future.

Then, the team can use the computer model to see just how much water will both be available and used in the next 50 years. This picture of Alberta’s water fu-ture will be further enhanced by combin-ing it with the team’s findings on the ex-pected future water demand in Alberta’s five major sectors: energy, environment,

industry, municipal and agriculture.By weaving together these pieces of

the puzzle, the PAWF team will be able to identify regions and sectors in Alberta that are most at risk in their water needs, based on any mismatches between the predictions on water supply and the ex-pected water demand according to the five major sectors’ plans.

The team hopes to translate those re-sults into tools such as an interactive on-line map that will both inform and help the province produce a set of scientifi-cally-based water management options for Alberta to maintain a safe and secure drinking water supply, healthy aquatic ecosystems, and reliable quality water supplies for a sustainable economy — re-gardless of whether the province is in a water surplus or scarcity. In other words, PAWF’s predictive models will help Al-berta’s water resource managers, policy makers and the public prepare for any situation that may come our way.

Regions of Alberta have already ex-perienced times of water scarcity. As the province, country and world plan for in-creased pressure on our water resources as a result of population growth, econom-ic development and climate change, such tools are needed now.

Canada backs U.S.-led air

attacks on Islamic State militants in

SyriaOTTAWA — Canada is

adding its support to the American and Arab air-strikes on militant tar-gets inside Syria.

A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, says Canada is not involved militar-ily in the air offensive, which is also continuing inside Iraq to target the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL.

However, a spokes-man for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird says Canada supports the U.S. efforts. Baird attended a ministerial meeting of the United Nations Se-curity Council last week where he added Cana-da’s support for a broad-er international effort to topple ISIL, which has seized land in Iraq and Syria. At the time, Baird stopped short of endors-ing military action in-side Syria to target ISIL, saying Canada was still considering its position.

Russia and Iran op-pose the airstrikes, say-ing they are a violation of Syrian sovereignty.

Bored B.C. man seeks mayor’s

job as he vows to make politics not

so boringKAMLOOPS, B.C. —

Being bored and unem-ployed has led a Kam-loops, B.C., man to seek the mayor’s job in the upcoming civic election as he plans to stomp out boredom in politics.

“I’m bored,” said 30-year-old Ben James, who is known for picking up dirty syringes around a park.

“I’ve got nothing else to do and Kamloops needs a new mayor. We need some fresh blood in this town.”

James, who made an unsuccessful bid as city councillor in 2008, said he thinks his campaign could capture the inter-est of 70 per cent of eli-gible voters who didn’t cast a ballot in the last election.

“There’s a reason why people don’t vote for these elections,” he said. “They’re terribly boring, right? It’s the exact same people running for the exact same positions. If you look at the council, it’s hardly changed at all over the years.”

James said he be-lieves people who don’t vote are turned off by the city’s political culture.

While he didn’t have a specific platform yet, James said he hopes to shake up the city, where voters will be heading to the polls in November.

“Kamloops is a great place to live but it’s plagued by convention,” James said.

His two opponents are Mayor Peter Milo-bar and a candidate who calls herself Mr. Open Pitbelly and straps a model of an open-pit mine to her stomach to illustrate job creation through environmental disaster. James became known last year for col-lecting and disposing of discarded needles that his neighbours were too scared to pick up.

“If you look at the town, we have a very a beautiful town but we’re a very ho-hum town,” he said.

James said he would be a good mayor because he’s got a thick skin and isn’t worried about criti-cism in his crusade to shake up Kamloops.

“I’m unemployed, so I have nothing but time to devote to it,” he said.

“I’m strongly opinion-ated, so I can’t be bought off by, say, Ajax, he said, referring to a controver-sial mine proposed for the area.

INBRIEF


OTTAWA — Age, not gender, is increas-ingly at the heart of income inequality in Canada, says a new study that warns eco-nomic growth and social stability will be at risk if companies don’t start paying better wages.

The Conference Board of Canada find-ings suggest younger workers in Canada are making less money relative to their elders regardless of whether they’re male or female, individuals or couples, and both before and after tax.

The average disposable income of Ca-nadians between the ages of 50 and 54 is now 64 per cent higher than that of 25- to 29-year-olds, the report found. That’s up from 47 per cent in the mid-1980s.

Conference Board vice-president David Stewart-Patterson, one of the study’s co-authors, said the economic think-tank was motivated to undertake the study due to a wealth of “anecdotal evidence” that sug-gests Canadian youth are falling behind economically.

“We all know the stories — all our kids getting really good educations but too many of them are still stuck living in their par-ents’ basements, still in low-end service jobs that don’t really take advantage of all

the education that we’ve paid for,” Stewart-Patterson said in an interview.

“Our report provides some pretty persua-sive, quantitative evidence that yeah, there really is a systemic pattern here. These aren’t just stories of individuals — there re-ally is a pattern that’s unfolded over a pro-longed period, a pattern which has some disturbing implications going forward.”

He pointed out that top Canadian earn-ers fought for principles of equal work for equal value, yet their children now face lower wages and reduced pension benefits even if they’re doing the same work at the same employer.

The trend is particularly troubling, he added, because as the baby-boom genera-tion moves into retirement, Canadians will be relying on a smaller share of the popula-tion to drive economic growth and sustain the tax base that supports public services.

Canada therefore needs average employ-ment incomes to rise, not fall behind, in order to pay for the increasing health-care costs of the baby-boomer generation, among a host of other expenses, Stewart-Patterson said.

“We are moving into an era where peo-ple of working age are going to be increas-ingly scarce; that should put upward pres-sure on wages going forward,” he said.

“And yet, if we look at the past 30 years

... the real incomes that are being earned in the workplace by younger workers have barely budged after inflation. That creates an issue in how much governments can raise in tax revenues, how much can our economy grow?”

He also warned that before long, the younger generation is going to “get fed up.”

Andrew Langille, a Toronto-based la-bour lawyer and youth employment ad-vocate, said the Conference Board study confirms what’s already known: Canada’s young people are falling behind.

“Increasingly it’s clear that Canada doesn’t have a problem with a declining middle-class; rather it’s a problem of in-come and wealth inequality for younger generations,” he said.

“From skyrocketing tuition to the in-creasing cost of home ownership to the prospect of stagnating wages and precari-ous work — young Canadians are increas-ingly on shaky financial footing and not able to get ahead.”

Few politicians seem ready to tackle the problem, he added.

“Unless politicians get serious about intergenerational equity, this issue has the potential to cause damaging social and eco-nomic consequences,” he said. “I really wonder who the boomers expect are going to buy their pretty houses.”

FREDERICTON — David Alward walked away from the leadership of New Brunswick’s Progressive Conser-vatives on Tuesday, about 12 hours af-ter his party was defeated by the Lib-erals in an election marred by prob-lems counting the votes.

Alward said while he was disap-pointed with the results of the elec-tion, he also would like to see a review of the problems Elections New Bruns-wick had counting the ballots on Mon-day night.

“I believe Elections New Brunswick has an obligation to New Brunswickers to ensure that every ballot is counted properly and that there is a thorough review,” Alward told a news confer-ence in Fredericton, adding he will continue to represent the riding of Car-leton in the legislature.

With a number of close races across the province, Alward said it was impor-tant to get the vote count right because the election was decided by about 420 voters in six ridings.

“At the very least there certainly should be a review to determine what happened.”

In the middle of the confusion sur-rounding the results the night before, the president of the Tory party said a recount needed to be done by hand.

However on Tuesday, Alward tem-pered the party’s response, saying

E l e c t i o n s New Bruns-wick is go-ing through its regular p o s t - e l e c -tion review of all the results. That re-view to look for any irregularities takes four days before producing the official results.

“Before we take any further direc-tion, that’s the process that we need to follow,” Alward said.

Alward, 54, becomes only the second premier to fail in his bid for a second term in the province’s history.

He won a majority government in September 2010, unseating the one-term administration of Liberal Shawn Graham.

In this election, Liberal Leader Bri-an Gallant’s party won 27 seats, the To-ries were left with 21 and the Greens took one riding.

At 32, Gallant will become the coun-try’s youngest premier.

He declined interview requests Tuesday but in a statement said he will meet with Alward on Wednesday to discuss the transition process.

“We haven’t always agreed on the proper path forward, but never have I doubted his deep commitment to our collective well-being,” Gallant said.

“We are at a critical juncture in our

collective future. Some difficult deci-sions lie ahead. But I promise all New Brunswickers that I will work incred-ibly hard to ensure our province moves in the right direction.”

Chief electoral officer Michael Quinn said Tuesday there was a dis-crepancy found between election re-sults that were manually entered and those from the tabulation machines on Monday at about 10:15 p.m., so they stopped posting the results to their website.

About 30 minutes later, Elections New Brunswick suspended vote count-ing for almost two hours.

Quinn said the problem was traced to a program provided to Elections New Brunswick by Dominion Voting.

“The problem is not with the tabu-lation machines. They know how to count, they do a good job,” he told a news conference.

“The problem was in one particular program or process ... which didn’t, for some reason, work properly. We identi-fied it.

“We found out how to correct it, so the results on the web are correct.”

A spokesman for Dominion Voting said it remained unclear what caused the problem.

“We haven’t looked into our pro-cesses to determine why it didn’t show up in any of the early testing,” James

Hoover said at the same news confer-ence. “Our focus is just to get the re-sults done now. That’s a topic of dis-cussion later.”

Green Leader David Coon, who won the riding of Fredericton South, said he hasn’t seen all the details of what happened but public confidence needs to be maintained in the election ma-chinery.

Coon said a review is needed to make recommendations on how to avoid problems in the future after what he called an “unprecedented” series of problems for a Canadian election.

“The bottom line is that New Bruns-wickers have to feel confident in the election results,” he said before Quinn’s news conference.

“Obviously there is going to have to be a review of this whole thing to take a look at what happened and why. ... Elections New Brunswick is not look-ing very good this morning in most peo-ple’s eyes as a result of this, despite their best efforts, and they did seem to pull it out at the end very late there and get the final results in.”

When asked if a review is needed, Quinn replied: “No, we know exactly what happened.”

Kris Austin, leader of the People’s Alliance of New Brunswick, ques-tioned the results in his riding, saying the numbers his party got from scru-tineers at the returning office don’t match the numbers they received later on.

N.B. Tory leader resigns after defeatNEW BRUNSWICK ELECTION


MONTREAL — The Atikamekw First Nation says it will not allow any forestry work on its territory in Quebec unless it has given prior approval.

The band says Tuesday’s announce-ment is a logical move just two weeks after it declared its sovereignty over 80,000 square kilometres of territory in the heart of the province.

An Atikamekw chief, Christian Awashish, said his people have nev-er given their approval to forestry re-sources being appropriated on their ancestral land.

“We have never given our consent or agreed to the massive exploitation of forestry resources that are found on our territory,” Awashish said in a statement.

The group is taking advantage of a re-accreditation period for forestry businesses to make its wishes clear.

Many of the companies that work in the region are currently in the process of getting re-certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

One of the criteria for obtaining and maintaining certification is getting the consent of indigenous nations. Another involves the protection of territory and maintaining or enhancing the benefits gained from the forests.

That criteria has routinely been ig-nored, Awashish suggested

“The Atikamekw Opitciwan terri-tory has suffered for decades from the colossal footprint of the forestry in-dustry without an adequate sector of protected land or a conservation plan in place,” he said.

Awashish is calling on the suspen-sion of forest council certification for companies that don’t respect terms and adequately protect the environ-ment.

While certification is not obligatory, many forestry companies like Resolute Forest Products, Kruger and Tembec (TSX:TMB) opt for it. A loss of the cer-tification could mean financial and client losses.

A spokesman for Montreal-based Resolute (TSX:RFP) said they are pre-occupied by the current situation. He notes that all territories in Quebec are subject to a strict and rigorous process put in place by the provincial govern-ment.

“And it’s the government that is responsible for consulting the native groups,” said Karl Blackburn, public and government relations manager for Resolute.

The Atikamekw announced on Sept.

ATIKAMEKW BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The stabbing death of a 19-year-old student described as a “very kind young man” left a Toronto high school “heartbroken” Tuesday as police continued to search for a teen-age boy considered a suspect in the incident.

Hamid Aminzada, whose family had only arrived in Canada some two years ago, died in hospital after be-ing stabbed multiple times at North Albion Collegiate Institute in the city’s northwest end.

The students and staff were strug-gling to process the day’s events.

“This is a very nice and kind young man. It’s heartbreaking for us be-cause all we’ve seen from him is just being respectful,” Naeem Siddiq, the school’s principal, told reporters just hours after the incident.

“It’s a very sad story for us as he was quite focused on his family and his future. There’s no indication of this young man in any way being involved in anything negative and it’s just a tragic loss for us.”

Authorities were called to the school around 12:45 p.m. and found

Aminzada with no vital signs.“Police, EMS and Fire arrived on

scene, they were able to bring him back,” Const. Jenniferjit Sidhu. “CPR was commenced and a pulse had been restored and there was an emergency run to hospital.”

Aminzada later died in hospital as police searched for a 17-year-old boy wanted in connection with the stab-bing.

The school’s principal said Aminza-da had been a “very active student” in the school’s English as a Second Lan-guage program and was well known to teachers and students.

“He’s been doing quite well,” Sid-diq said outside the school.

“Our priority right now is to do our best to take care of all the students, to be supportive of the family and try to provide some sense to the kids in the building.”

Siddiq added that the stabbing was “an isolated incident.”

“I’ve always felt that this is a true community school where the kids look out for each other,” he said.

“We’re going to do our best to keep all the kids safe, make sure that the kids come here by choice and they’re very comfortable here.”

WORLD A7WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 24, 2014

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The U.S. and Ar-ab allies launched what leaders de-clared would be a long and sustained military assault against Islamic State strongholds in Syria and Iraq, and the U.S. simultaneously targeted an al-Qai-da cell said to be plotting imminent at-tacks on American and other Western interests, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

Hours after the barrage of airstrikes began, Lt. Gen. William Mayville said the attacks took out key Islamic State training camps and facilities.

But he said it was too early to tell if they were able to disrupt a terrorist attack being planned by al-Qaida mili-tants, known as the Khorasan Group. He said the group was “nearing the execution phase” of an attack against Europe or the U.S.

President Barack Obama said that Arab support for the airstrikes “makes it clear to the world this is not Ameri-ca’s fight alone.”

“We’re going to do what’s necessary to take the fight to this terrorist group, for the security of the country and the region and for the entire world,” Obama said as he left Washington for meetings of the U.N. General Assem-bly in New York.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the top American military official, said the U.S. and its Arab allies achieved their aim of showing the extremists that their attacks will not go unanswered.

The U.S. and five Arab nations at-tacked the Islamic State group’s head-quarters in eastern Syria in nighttime raids Monday using land- and sea-based U.S. aircraft as well as Toma-hawk cruise missiles launched from two Navy ships in the Red Sea and the northern Persian Gulf.

Gen. Mayville, director of opera-tions for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at the Pentagon that the U.S. carried out the vast majority of the strikes in an operation against the Islamic State group that he said would continue and likely last “in terms of years.”

But he declined to provide details on what the Arab nations did. He said the strikes included Islamic State mili-tants’ financial centres in order to dis-rupt the well-funded group’s activities.

In Syria, activists said the trikes hit targets in and around the city of Raqqa and the province with the same name. Raqqa is the Islamic State group’s self-declared capital in Syria.

Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told The Associated Press, “There is confirmed informa-tion that there are casualties among Islamic State group members.”

In all, America and its Arab allies launched more than 200 airstrikes against roughly a dozen militant tar-gets in Syria during the assault that be-gan Monday night, a U.S. official said.

A majority of the missiles fired from Navy ships targeted the Khorasan Group, said the official, who was not

authorized to provide mission details so spoke on only condition of anonym-ity The strikes weren’t co-ordinated with the government of Syrian Presi-dent Bashar Assad, Mayville said, but Syrian and U.S. officials said that the U.S. informed Syria’s envoy to the U.N. ahead of time.

Mayville said the Syrian government

did not interfere with the operation. He said the strikes did not specifically target Islamic State group leaders, and that he was unaware of any civilian casualties. Apparently trying to po-sition his government on the side of the airstrikes, Assad said Tuesday that he supported any international effort against terrorism.

World leaders told at UN climate summit to act now

on warming

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon is challenging more than

100 world leaders at a climate sum-mit to set a new course for a warm-ing world and reverse the rise of heat-trapping gases.

Tuesday’s one-day summit at the an-nual UN General Assembly gathering of world leaders is a forum for non-binding pledges.

It was designed to lay the ground-work for a new global treaty to tackle climate change due at the end of next year.

“Today we must set the world on a new course,” Ban said in opening remarks. “Climate change is the defin-

ing issue of our age. It is defining our present. Our response will define our future.”

And world leaders took over with the first of many of the non-binding pledges.

The European Union offered a rare proposal — specific targets be-yond 2020 — saying its member nations would cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, use renewable energy for 27 per cent of the bloc’s power and boost en-ergy efficiency by 30 per cent.

Jose Manuel Barroso, president of

the European Commission, stressed it could be done without harming the economy in his four-minute speech Tuesday.

He said over the next seven years, the European Union would provide $3 billion euros (nearly $3.9 billion) to help developing countries become more sustainable.

“The European Union is on track to meet our targets and at same time we have seen our economy grow,” Bar-roso.

“We prove climate protection and a strong economy must go hand in hand.”

Red Deer’s street population might seem a world removed from other peo-ple in the city’s downtown. But Aman-da Gould thinks a gift of coffee can narrow that gap.

The executive director of the Red Deer Downtown Business Association is helping to bring Suspended Coffee to the city. Already common across Canada and elsewhere in the world, Suspended Coffee refers to the prac-tice of buying a hot beverage — usually anonymously — for someone else to enjoy.

“You can go to the coffee shop, buy your normal coffee, and then you can buy another one,” said Gould, explain-

ing that the purchaser is issued a to-ken for the second, unconsumed coffee that they can leave in a collection box or give to someone else.

Quenched International Coffee House, Café Millennium and City Roast Coffee all plan to participate, she said.

Cafe Pichilingue — which has been sold and is scheduled to close today — is already operating its own Suspend-ed Coffee program. Owner Penny El-liott discussed the initiative with The Leadership Centre of Central Alberta, which in turn shared the idea with sev-eral of its alumni — including Gould.

“We just decided to take advantage of that and expand on it,” said Gould. “It’s been really easy to do.”

Tokens and cash left at participat-ing coffee shops will be given to Red Deer’s Safe Harbour Society, which

will pass them along to clients and oth-ers in need.

“It’s not just the homeless who are going to benefit from it,” said Gould. “It’s people who are just managing to get their foot back on the first rung of the ladder: it could be young moms or people in subsidized housing.”

She also likes the idea of creating something that people can hand to members of the street-involved popu-lation without worries that it will be used to buy drugs or alcohol.

“They’ve now got the option to give them something.”

Gould thinks the Suspended Coffee program will reduce the apprehension of those who are approached for hand-outs, and generate business for the cof-fee shops.

“Anybody from Red Deer could now

end up with one of these tokens, which brings more people downtown.”

The city’s expanded Suspended Cof-fee program should begin shortly, she said.

“We’re just waiting for the tokens to come in, so hopefully it’s all going to be up and running in the next week to 10 days.”

The program received a boost this week, when more than $1,100 was raised for it at The Leadership Cen-tre’s 2014 Leadership Conference.

Linda Wilson, the centre’s execu-tive director, praised the initiative as a positive way to help street people and others in need.

“It’s a way to still have dignity, for those people,” said Wilson, adding that the donors benefit as well.

The Leadership Centre of Central Alberta is partnering with City Univer-sity of Seattle in a move that will allow it to expand and enhance its program-ming.

Established in 2000, The Leadership Centre helps develop leaders in the business, government, not-for profit and community sectors. It currently of-fers two levels of training: Leadership 101 for front-line staff who are inter-ested in or show potential for leader-ship; and Leadership 201 for supervi-sors and managers.

Linda Wilson, the centre’s executive director, said Leadership 301 — which is designed for CEOs, executive direc-tors, business owners and executive-level staff — can now be added. City University will help with the training, and those who complete the 14-month program will earn a joint certificate from the university and The Leader-ship Centre.

“We’ve been looking for an educa-tional institution which aligns with the centre’s values, who not only recog-nizes the quality of our programs, but who is willing to work with us to offer a joint certification with the centre,” said Wilson.

City University is a private, non-profit university that’s headquartered in Seattle, Wash. It operates out of 28 sites around the world, including cam-puses in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancou-ver and Victoria.

Faculty from City University will help with The Leadership Centre’s first Leadership 301 course, which is scheduled to begin in January.

“We’ve also engaged leaders from our community to do coaching,” said Wilson.

Leadership 301 students could even-tually earn credit towards a master’s degree at City University, she added.

“We’re not at that point yet because we’re just starting the relationship.”

The City University partnership was announced at The Leadership Centre’s 2014 Leadership Conference this week in Red Deer. A half-dozen City Univer-sity officials attended the conference.

In addition to teleconferenced pre-sentations from the likes of Archbish-op Desmond Tutu, Malcolm Gladwell and Laura Bush, the two-day confer-ence featured live presentations from a variety of other leadership experts.

An evening gala on Monday raised more than $8,000 for the Alzheimer Society and $5,300 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. And a si-lent auction, in which bidders pledged volunteer hours for a number of pack-ages, generated more than 600 hours in donated time.

PARTNERING WITH CITY UNIVERSITY FOR EXPANDED PROGRAMMING


TORONTO — The US$11-billion takeover of Tim Hortons (TSX:THI) by fast-food chain Burger King will go ahead despite rule changes by the U.S. government to curb mergers that lower tax payments in that country, a senior executive of the Canadian company said Tuesday.

The U.S. Treasury Department un-veiled regulations on Monday that fo-cused on lowering the financial bene-fits of international “inversion deals,” which often involve American compa-nies buying a corporation in another country with a lower tax rate, and then shifting its headquarters to that loca-tion.

But one of the coffee and doughnut chain’s executives says its agreement won’t be affected by the change.

“We are moving forward as planned,” Scott Bonikowsky, Tim Hor-tons’ senior vice-president of corpo-rate, public and government affairs, said in an emailed statement Tuesday.

“As we’ve said previously, this deal has always been driven by long-term growth and not by tax benefits.”

Canada has a lower corporate tax rate than the United States.

Among the rule changes are re-quirements that shareholders of the U.S. company own less than 80 per cent of the new merged entity, and a new shift that tries to stop companies from turning their international earnings into U.S. loans, known as “hopscotch” loans.

About 50 U.S. companies have car-ried out inversions over the past de-cade, according to the non-partisan Congressional Research Service. Many more had been considering it.

While the rule changes aren’t ret-roactive, the Tim Hortons and Burger King transaction hasn’t closed, which has raised uncertainties about what impact it may have on the combined operation.

Under the proposal, Burger King’s majority owner, 3G Capital, will hold 51 per cent of the new company. Burg-er King and Tim Hortons shareholders

will keep 27 per cent and 22 per cent of the combined entity respectively, which will pass the new ownership re-quirements from the U.S. government.

“Cash flow from Tim Hortons op-erations should be able to sufficiently service the $9 billion of dollar-denom-inated debt being issued to partially fund the transaction, potentially cir-cumventing new rules on hopscotch loans between Burger King and its new

Canadian parent,” said Carla Taylor, an analyst at Fitch Ratings.

“We believe new rules won’t likely deter the Burger King/Tim Hortons transaction.”

Tim Hortons shares closed nine cents lower at $88.04 on the Toronto Stock Exchange while Burger King (NYSE:BKW) shares were off 2.7 per cent at US$30.23 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Tim Hortons says new U.S. rules won’t halt merger with Burger King

TO ADVERTISETO ADVERTISE

“Alberta has led all provinces in economic growth over the past 20 years, with an average annual GDP growth of 3.5 per cent per year. Private sector forecasts suggest that Alberta is poised to lead the country in both 2014 and 2015.” (1.)

The entrepreneurial spir-it continues to thrive and drive the economic corridor in Central Alberta. Small to medium-sized business activity in several sectors will be responsible for this growth.

In my last column I intro-duced the first of the five levels of development on the entrepreneur scale.

Similar to any growth curve, each level exhibits a specific mindset and a basic belief system. Individuals that progress up the scale are highly motivated, will-ing to learn and embrace change.

Level 1 describes individuals who possess the “self-employed” mindset.

Often, new business owners work incredibility hard at replicating a job they know how to do. Most of their time is spent working in the business, not on the business. Eventually, a significant number of these owners burn them-selves out and the business fails.

Level 2 on the scale describes indi-viduals with the “managerial” mind-set.

Those who have worked in a mana-gerial role should be in a better posi-tion to succeed as entrepreneurs. They usually possess a general knowledge of the business and have some experi-ence working as a senior team mem-ber.

However, two issues can lead to massive problems.

Inventory control, margins, pricing, receivables, etc., are all areas that di-rectly impact profitability. If the busi-ness struggles, the owner/manager only looks to growth in sales to solve the problems.

The managerial mindset leads to another common problem; that the owner micro-manages every aspect of the business. “If I don’t do it, it doesn’t get done,” means they believe that they must do everything themselves.

In this example, the organization is entrepreneurially challenged, mean-ing the owner is not open to new ideas or new ways of doing things. These fac-tors are primary causes of staff turn-over. The mindset of an “owner/lead-er” describes Level 3. The business operates as a profit centre without the owner’s constant hands-on participa-tion. Managers who develop into solid leaders recognize that their role is to endeavour to build trust first. They accept the responsibility, and the chal-lenge, to ensure their employees have every opportunity to succeed.

Effective leaders set the bar, then delegate most aspects of the business to others. They devote a significant amount of time to planning and re-

viewing operations, while the day-to-day business runs smoothly.

Business systems are incorporated to simplify processes and procedures for marketing, operations and service delivery. Established systems reduce

staff turnover; employees know where they fit in the business and with the rest of the team. They have cre-ated an organization that is self-sufficient and self-sus-taining, and therefore have created more wealth and personal freedom.

The individual who reaches Level 4 on the scale possesses the “investor” mindset.

With a fundamentally sound and profitable busi-ness, the entrepreneur who has succeeded this far be-gins to look at other busi-ness opportunities.

At this point, an entre-preneurial investor may le-

verage the success of the first business to create a second or third company based on the same model or system. Some may franchise the original ven-ture or buy other healthy businesses.

Many individuals with the investor mindset make a career of buying and selling entire businesses. They are al-ways looking for valuable equity and potential, with the intention of selling and turning a profit.

The focus becomes finding, buying (and perhaps refurbishing) businesses, in the same way that a real estate in-vestor locates homes and then flips them for a profit.

At Level 5, the true entrepreneur sees a transformation in their “funda-mental thinking.” This level of entre-preneurship is rare.

A true entrepreneur is innovative, employs strategic management prac-tices, and manages a business solely for the purpose of growth and profit. At this level, the entrepreneur has usual-ly designed broad and comprehensive strategies that work across all sorts of products, services and economic cy-cles.

Profitable ventures feed success. The true entrepreneur experiences a paradigm shift in their everyday think-ing. They believe their goals are pos-sible. In their ideal world, they can picture the details and can easily put into words what they need to make their vision a reality.

Having learned new things every step of the way and evolved through various stages of entrepreneurial success, the true entrepreneur has reached their goals and realized their dreams in a life-changing way.

A barbecue restaurant chain that originated in Jacksonville, Fla. nearly 35 years ago is coming to Red Deer.

Woody’s Bar-B-Q is scheduled to open in Quality Inn North Hill, at 7150 Gaetz Ave., on Oct. 6. It will occupy the premises currently used by Ashley’s Grill.

Jeannot Lamarre, director of mar-keting with Woody’s Bar-B-Q Canada Corp., said Red Deer will be the com-pany’s fifth location in Alberta. It also has two restaurants in Nova Scotia and one in Saskatchewan.

The owner of the Red Deer fran-chise will be C.V. Sastry, who has worked in the hospitality industry for a number of years, including as general manager at a national restaurant in Red Deer and assistant general man-ager at a major hotel in the city.

Woody’s Bar-B-Q was founded in 1980 by Woody and Yolanda Mills. Dan Masters, president of Woody’s Bar-B-Q Canada Corp., brought the restaurant

to this country in 2007.“Woody’s is the only national south-

ern barbecue chain in Canada,” he said. “This is real southern barbecue slowly smoked using traditional meth-ods.”

Lamarre said the company plans to “ramp up” its expansion campaign in Canada.

Sastry thinks the restaurant will do well in Red Deer.

He also thinks the north end of the city is a good location, noting that there is a great deal of new residential development there but fewer restau-rants than in South Red Deer.

“I think this is going to be one of the better places to be.”

Woody’s Bar-B-Q will serve break-fast, lunch and dinner items, with dine-in and take-out service.

Sastry said it will also cater ban-quets at Quality Inn North Hill, and provide food for the hotel’s bar and lounge.

Ashley’s will close on Sept. 28, with renovations to take place thereafter, he said.

MARKETS CLOSETORONTO — The To-

ronto stock market was barely changed at the close Tuesday amid a mixed outlook on global manufacturing from some of the world’s largest economies.

The S&P/TSX compos-ite index dipped 3.33 points to 15,125.67, while the loonie lost 0.31 of a cent to 90.34 cents US following disappointing economic news in Canada.

Statistics Canada reported retail sales slipped 0.1 per cent in July to $42.5 billion, well short of the 0.5 per cent gain that econo-mists had expected, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters.

Meanwhile, U.S. markets were down sharply after the American military launched over-night airstrikes against Islamic State military strongholds in Syria and Iraq. The Dow Jones industrials plunged 116.81 points to 17,055.87, while the Nasdaq dropped 19 points to 4,508.69 and the S&P 500 index lost 11.52 points to 1,982.77.

In economic news, the latest reading on Chinese manufactur-ing came in better than expected and eased some concerns that growth has stalled in the world’s second-largest economy.

The HSBC manufacturing survey for September came in at 50.5, up from 50.2 in August. Anything above 50 indicates an expansion. Analysts had expect-ed it to fall for a second month.

The Chinese data helped boost commodity markets. De-cember gold, considered a safe haven during volatile times, was up $4.10 to US$1,222 an ounce as the gold sector on the TSX led advancers, up 2.76 per cent after two days of losses. The No-vember crude contract rose 69 cents to US$91.56 a barrel. De-cember copper was unchanged at US$3.04 a pound.

There wasn’t the same kind of relief in Europe, where more signs indicated that the 18-coun-try eurozone economy hasn’t found renewed momentum de-spite stimulus measures from the

European Central Bank.In its monthly survey, finan-

cial information company Markit said its purchasing managers’ in-dex for the eurozone — a closely watched gauge of business ac-tivity — fell to a nine-month low of 52.3 in September from the previous month’s 52.5. The cri-sis in Ukraine and the sanctions between the West and Russia as well as a general sense of pessimism about the eurozone economy were cited as reasons.

“The recovery in Europe is on weak footing,” said Ben Jang, a portfolio manager at Nicola Wealth Management in Vancou-ver.

“Any news like this will cause more volatility in the market. It’s also scaling back market sen-timent in terms of how strong growth will be. We’re looking at a slower growth environment across the board.”

Jang said new measures by the Obama administration also weighed on markets, with inves-tors unsure of what the regula-

tions will spell for American and European companies in the fu-ture.

Washington announced a “tax inversion” regulation as part of its effort to crack down on American companies that seek to reincorporate overseas to avoid paying U.S. taxes. The new regulations, which are now in effect, bars some techniques used by companies reduce their taxes.

“The action of the Treasury was more aggressive and more sweeping than most people had though,” he said. “(But) It didn’t address everything and it’s not comprehensive reform.

HALIFAX — The head of the com-pany at the centre of New Brunswick’s vote-count bungle says a glitch with software and intense pressure from media outlets are to blame for the late-night glitch that halted the flow of elec-tion results for more than two hours.

John Poulos, president of Toronto-based Dominion Voting, says the off-the-shelf program — first used by the company in an election on Monday — failed to properly transfer polling data from a computer server in Fredericton to a website where media outlets were gathering the results.

“Everything was flawless until this happened,” Poulos said in an inter-view Tuesday. “It was really quite a shame.”

The delay, during which some votes disappeared from the media website, prompted speculation about the valid-ity of the election.

The governing Progressive Conser-vative party, which was defeated by the Opposition Liberals, at one point called for a manual recount, a demand they later dropped.

Poulos, whose company has exten-sive experience with the U.S. electoral system and New Brunswick’s munici-pal elections, said the software was used to get the results to the media as quickly as possible.

“This all started because of pres-sure to report within a quick timeline,” he said. “To be clear, I’m referring to a general trend that you see in Canadian election commentary. That’s one of the

themes. ... We hear it all the time.”In the New Brunswick case, Pou-

los’s company had distributed 713 opti-cal ballot scanners to polling stations across the province, marking the first time the province had used electronic tabulation in a provincial general elec-tion.

On election day and in advance polls, voters filled out paper ballots as they normally would, but instead of placing them in a ballot box, they put them in the secure scanners, which recorded the results on a piece of ther-mal paper and on a memory stick.

When the polls closed, the paper re-cords were used to immediately relay the results by phone to Elections New Brunswick in Fredericton, where they were recorded on a computer server and instantly transferred via an FTP program to the website for the media.

Later in the evening, all of the scanners were taken to regional sites, where the memory sticks were used to transfer the data via a secure network to Elections New Brunswick.

Poulos said the two-step process is aimed at eliminating the errors that can happen during the phone calls.

Things went off the rails when the second set of results — from the mem-ory sticks — were transferred to the media site, he said. For some reason, some of the polling data was inexplica-bly dropped from that website around 10:15 p.m.

“We didn’t know that until we were looking at the results,” Poulos said.

At that point, the decision was made to stop the flow of results and deter-mine how to fix the problem.

TORONTO — It’s a fallacy to think of Nortel Networks as just a Canadi-an company and that its intellectual property was created solely in Canada, a lawyer for its U.S. subsidiary said Tuesday at a cross-border bankrupt-cy trial that will decide how remain-ing assets are shared among creditors.

“I think we can all agree now that Nortel was actually a multi-national enterprise, global in nature, with separate corporate en-tities, separate groups of creditors spread around the world,” said James Bromley from Wilmington, Del., by videolink.

While Canada cer-tainly had a large role in research and devel-opment, Nortel’s R&D took place all over the world, Bromley added in the second day of fi-nal summations for a trial that began in May.

“The U.S. role was incredibly important, particularly during the glory days . . . from the mid ’90s to the 2000s, at which time U.S. R&D was just short of the same amount of R&D that was being conducted in Canada.”

Bromley also said it’s a fallacy to say Nortel’s business was run from Canada, as lawyers for the Canadian parent and the court-appointed moni-tor argue.

While the board of directors and many of Nortel’s senior executives were in Canada, the “largest and most profitable business units were oper-ated out of the United States. That is undisputed.”

He added that the United States had “more Nortel employees, there-fore more Nortel retirees, more Nortel disabled, than anywhere else.”

“When we talk about NNI (Nortel Networks Inc.), it had an incredibly large and vibrant organization here in the United States — made up of hu-mans and individuals, just as much as anywhere else.”

Competing groups of creditors have been focusing on the legal interpreta-tion of a 10-year-old agreement to de-termine how to divvy up about $4.5 bil-lion from the sale of Nortel’s patents

In total, the trial is expected to de-termine how $7.3 billion of remaining Nortel assets are allocated among the various legal entities that are undergo-ing court-supervised windups in sev-eral jurisdictions. Bromley said that every one of the Nortel business units that went into court protection had its own liabilities and creditors.

He argued that creditors of a parent company aren’t entitled to the assets of its subsidiary until the subsidiary’s creditors are “paid in full.”

“That is the cornerstone of the in-solvency regimes in each of the three major jurisdictions (represented in the trial),” Bromley said.

He added that the Canadian parent, Nortel Networks Ltd. or NNL, would

have run out of cash within months of the restructuring in 2009 if it weren’t for funds transferred from the U.S. arm to the Cana-dian arm.

“It did that to help facilitate the sales pro-cess,” Bromley said.

“We find it diffi-cult to accept that, not withstanding providing nearly a half-billion dollars of post-petition financing to NNL, that the monitor’s decision is that we should get next to nothing out of the IP sale.”

Bromley said that the court-appointed monitor is correct to say that the Canadian company owned all the

rights to the intellectual property but only because it owned 100 per cent of Nortel US.

He added that the each of the sub-sidiaries in a 2004 agreement between various Nortel subsidiaries had exclu-sive “beneficial ownership” to the in-tellectual property within its territory while the Canadian parent only had “legal title.”

Earlier, a lawyer for Nortel’s U.K. pensioners said all the patents and in-tellectual property at the centre of the months-long trial were jointly owned by all the Nortel entities because they were the product of the entire organi-zation’s work and investments.

The U.K. pensioners argue for a pro rata approach that would divide up money from the sale of the patents among the various insolvent remnants of Nortel, which would then pay their creditors.

That position is partially support-ed by the Canadian pensioners and former Nortel employees but it also supports the position of the court-ap-pointed monitor, which argues that the parent had sole ownership of the intel-lectual property under the terms of a 2004 agreement.

The decision about how to divide the money rests with two judges who are presiding over the closing argu-ments by video link in Toronto and Delaware. Monday and Tuesday had been set aside for closing summaries but the judges decided to add a third day on Wednesday to give more time for arguments.

Rebels ready Mem Cup bidBY GREG MEACHEM

ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Red Deer Rebels will know in two weeks what their calendar will entail a little over 19 months down the road.

In May of 2016, the Rebels will ei-ther be on the golf course, chasing a Western Hockey League title and/or preparing to host the Memorial Cup tournament.

The Western Hockey League board of governors will decide Oct. 8 at the Calgary Delta Bow Valley Hotel if it’s the Rebels or the Vancouver Giants who will stage major junior hockey’s championship event in roughly a year and a half.

Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sut-ter confirmed Tuesday that the club is putting the final touches on its Memo-rial Cup bid, which will be submitted to the WHL head office next week.

The business side of the bid in-cludes a financial guarantee, while hotel availability, access to Westerner facilities — which will host secondary events tied to the tournament — and a virtual promise that the team will be a force in the 2015-16 season are also

part of the presentation.“It’s a total package,” said Sutter.

“It will be presented to the league, evaluated and then discussed with the governors. If they have any questions, they will be answered on Oct. 8.”

The bid competition was officially reduced from three to two teams last week when the Victoria Royals pulled out of the race. The Royals front office has never explained the decision.

“We knew a few weeks ago that they were leaning that way,” Sutter said of the Royals’ decision to pull their bid. “I did have some communication with

their GM, Cam Hope. They’re a first-class organization and they’re like our-selves, a middle-market team.

“I certainly have a lot of respect for their organization. Victoria is a great city and they will have the opportunity to host the Memorial Cup in the near future.”

● As he discussed his club’s Memo-rial Cup bid, Sutter was en route to Calgary to pick up Rebels forward and captain Conner Bleackley, who was reassigned by the Colorado Avalanche earlier in the day and will be in the Red Deer lineup Saturday when the Kootenay Ice visit the Centrium.

Defenceman Haydn Fleury, who like Bleackley was selected in the first round of June’s NHL entry draft, re-mains with the Carolina Hurricanes. Fleury will likely be reassigned to the Rebels within the next two to three weeks, if not sooner.

● Four Rebels are among 42 WHL players identified by Central Scout-ing as likely-to-potential picks in next year’s NHL entry draft. Forward Adam Musil is a ‘B’ prospect, a second/third round candidate, while forward Gray-son Pawlenchuk, defenceman Mario Grman and goaltender Taz Burman are ‘C’ prospects, projected as fourth/

fifth/sixth round picks.● Trochu native Mike Winther, 20,

was dealt by the Calgary Hitmen to the Kamloops Blazers Tuesday in return for a fourth-round bantam draft pick in 2015 and a sixth-round selection in 2017.

After scoring 32 goals with the Prince Albert Raiders during the 2011-12 season, Winther was selected by the Dallas Stars in the second round of the NHL entry draft.

His production fell off the following season and he was traded to the Hit-men last winter. Winther played only 31 games in 2013-14 due to injury and was not offered a contract by the Stars, thus becoming a free agent.

The trade occurred one day after the Saskatoon Blades sent high-pow-ered Russian winger Nikita Scherbak to the Everett Silvertips in return for 17-year-old netminder Nik Amundrud as well as a first-round pick in the 2015 bantam draft and a second-rounder the following year.

Scherbak, who was selected 26th overall in this year’s NHL draft by the Montreal Canadiens, is currently at training camp with Montreal and will not join the Tips immediately.

BLUE JAYS HAMMER KING FELIX AND THE MARINERSBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — There were several bright spots in Toronto’s 10-2 rout of the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night at Rogers Centre.

Canadian Dalton Pompey hit his first career home run. Edwin Encarna-cion belted his 34th homer of the sea-son. Jose Bautista scored three times and R.A. Dickey had his sixth straight quality start.

The smiles faded shortly after the game when Kansas City completed a 7-1 win over Cleveland, a result that of-ficially eliminated Toronto from post-season contention.

The Blue Jays had been clinging to faint playoff hopes for the last two weeks. A second straight blowout win was nice for the 16,272 fans in atten-dance, but it meant little for a team that remains stuck in a long playoff drought.

“Having not gotten to the post-sea-son again with a team that I felt was very capable, of course we’re all dis-appointed and we should be,” Dick-ey said. “Everyone in here should be disappointed. So you’ve got to learn, you’ve got to grow, you’ve got to look for opportunities to see how you can improve and get better or the season is lost.”

Pompey, from Mississauga, Ont.,

belted a no-doubt shot to deep right field off Felix Hernandez to kick off a seven-run fifth inning. Encarnacion added a two-run shot in the sixth for Toronto (80-77).

It was a rare off-night for Hernan-dez (14-6), a leading contender in the American League Cy Young Award race. He tied a career high by allowing eight earned runs over 4 2/3 innings.

Hernandez’s earned-run average jumped from 2.07 to 2.34 in his shortest start of the season.

“As an ace, I take responsibility,” he said. “I let my team down. That’s my fault.”

The loss dealt a blow to Seattle’s playoff hopes. The Mariners (83-74) fell three games behind Kansas City in the race for the second American League wild-card spot.

“We’re not playing well right now,” said Seattle manager Lloyd McClen-don. “A lot of things are going wrong, but we’re still alive.”

Dickey (14-12) breezed through the first two innings before getting into trouble in the third. Victoria native Michael Saunders led off with a double and moved to third on Brad Miller’s one-out single.

Austin Jackson walked to load the bases and Robinson Cano drove in two runs with a single that eluded a diving Ryan Goins at second base.

The Blue Jays batted around in the

fifth inning. Pompey got things started by launching a 3-1 pitch into the sec-ond deck in right field.

“It was kind of a shock for a mo-ment,” he said. “Like who was pitch-ing, the ball I hit. I played with that guy in video games you know.

“To think I just hit a home run off him was pretty crazy.”

Hernandez was pulled after walk-ing Pompey later in the inning. The seven earned runs allowed in one in-ning were a career high for the veteran right-hander.

Dickey, meanwhile, allowed two earned runs, walked a pair and had six strikeouts over seven innings. Brett Ce-cil and Casey Janssen each pitched an inning of scoreless relief.

The Blue Jays will close out the sea-son with two more games against Se-attle before a weekend series against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Toronto hasn’t reached the post-season since winning a second straight World Series title in 1993.

“I won’t reflect one bit, I’ve been doing it for six months,” said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “What sticks out? I don’t know — a lot of good times, a lot of tough times.

“Like I’ve said, in the end teams that get there, earn it. The best teams go. The ones that aren’t, they don’t go. That’s just the way it is when you play that many games.”

Stamps to get

Cornish back

against Lions


CALGARY — With their momentum suddenly halted, the Calgary Stamped-ers are collecting themselves for what will be a tough fight for the West Divi-sion over the final third of the regular season.

At 10-2, Calgary still tops the CFL and West Division standings. But a 31-15 loss Sunday to the Alouettes in Mon-treal was a dash of cold water in the face of league’s top team.

A week earlier, Calgary had to over-come a 19-point deficit at halftime to beat the Toronto Argonauts.

The Stampeders have six games remaining against three division op-ponents, starting Saturday at home against the B.C. Lions (7-5). The Lions downed the host Stamps 25-24 on Aug. 1 for Calgary’s only other loss this sea-son.

The Stampeders twice face the Sas-katchewan Roughriders (9-3) and Win-nipeg Blue Bombers (6-6) before the season finale against the Lions.

Calgary is two points up on the Roughriders, four on the Edmonton Es-kimos and six on the Lions. The Stam-peders swept the season series against the Eskimos.

This home stretch will determine who gets what in terms of a playoff berth, home playoff games and the bye to the West Division final.

“This is the best part of the season,” running back Jon Cornish said. “Over the last few years, I’ve sort of realized that nothing really matters except for these last six games. With that in mind, I think this team is really going to pre-pare for that. We’re going to be ready to take on all these opponents because we’re playing great teams.”

Cornish, the CFL’s most outstanding player in 2013 and leading rusher the last two seasons, will play Saturday af-ter sitting out the game in Montreal.

Cornish didn’t travel with the team in order to heal undisclosed aches and pains. The 29-year-old from New West-minster, B.C., missed six games in July and August with concussion symptoms.

“I don’t think I’ll have to miss any more games,” Cornish said. “That’s why I took this time, so I would be ready. These teams are going to be ready to play us, so I want to be ready for them.”

Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell isn’t ready to return, which means Drew Tate gets his second straight start of the season. Mitchell sprained his ankle and stretched a ligament in his left leg late in the game versus the Argos.

Tate took first-team reps Tuesday, while Mitchell practised lightly wear-ing a brace on his left leg.

WUHAN, China — Canadian Euge-nie Bouchard overcame a break in the third set to beat Mona Barthel of Ger-many 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, at the Wuhan Open on Tuesday.

It’s Bouchard’s first tournament since her dramatic exit from the fourth round of the U.S. Open. The West-mount, Que., native, who is seeded sixth in China, lost in straight sets to Ekaterina Makarova of Russia after struggling with the heat at Flushing

Meadows.She was supposed to play in Hong

Kong earlier this month but withdrew citing fatigue.

Meanwhile, top-ranked Serena Wil-liams retired from her second-round match due to a viral illness, dropping a third match to Alize Cornet this year.

Williams, playing her first match since winning the U.S. Open, had just converted a break point for a 6-5 lead and was clearly hot and bothered when she asked for treatment beside the court. She withdrew moments later and was helped from the court by a trainer.

Cornet beat Williams at Dubai in February and had a third-round win at Wimbledon. The Frenchwoman is the first player since Justine Henin in 2007 to beat Williams three times in year, the WTA said, and has improved to 3-3 in career meetings with the most domi-nant woman in tennis.

“I felt dizzy and nauseous in the first set and unfortunately couldn’t continue,” Williams said.

The tournament’s top two players were eliminated within hours of each other as Garbine Muguruza of Spain beat No. 2-ranked Simona Halep of Ro-mania 2-6, 6-2, 6-3.

EUGENIE BOUCHARD

The RDC Kings volleyball team got a lesson in experience as some former players proved that skill stays with players once they leave the program.

The Kings Alumni team downed the the Kings 21-25, 25-23, 25-19, 25-21 on Tuesday at RDC.

Former national team member Nicholas Cundy led the way for the Alumni team with 23 kills while Mitch Irvine also added 18 kills.

The Kings got solid play from a pair of veterans as Tim Finnigan and Chris Osborn had 10 kills each.

OLDS — Landon Kletke scored twice Tuesday to lead the Olds Grizzlys to a come-from-behind 5-4 Alberta Junior Hockey League win over the Brooks Bandits.

Alex Roberts fired two goals and Kyler Nachtigall also tallied to give the visiting Bandits a 3-0 lead be-fore 497 fans at the Sportplex, but Chris Gerrie and Kletke replied to cut the deficit to one in the second period.

Austin Plevy made it 4-2 for the Bandits late in the middle frame before Kletke notched his second of the night just 34 seconds later. Alex Brewer pulled the home side even with a power-play goal 2:02 into the third period and Kyle Moore scored the winner 10 minutes later with Plevy serving a high-sticking minor.

Jordan Piccolino turned aside 32 shots in the Olds net. Michael Frederick made 21 saves for Brooks.

The Grizzlys, who improved to 4-3-1 and sit third in the South Division, return to action Thursday at 3:30 p.m. against the Drayton Valley Thunder in the AJHL Showcase tournament at Spruce Grove.

OLDS GRIZZLYS

Alouettes to retire Calvillo’s jerseyMONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes will re-

tire quarterback Anthony Calvillo’s No. 13 on Oct. 13 when the club faces the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Calvillo, 42, retired Jan. 21 following an illustri-ous 20-year career. The five-time CFL all-star and three-time winner of the league’s outstanding player award left as pro football’s all-time leading passer with 79,816 passing yards and holds the league’s all-time marks for touchdowns (455), completions (5,892) and attempts (9,437).

“Having my No. 13 retired alongside the team’s greatest legends like Sam Etchevery, Peter Dalla Riva and my former teammate Mike Pringle at Per-cival Molson Memorial Stadium is an incredible privilege,” Calvillo said. “Without the contributions from (GM) Jim Popp, those exceptional coaches and my great teammates, none of this would have been possible.”

Calvillo began his CFL career in ’94 with the ex-pansion Las Vegas Posse and joined the Alouettes in ’98 following three seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Calvillo became the Alouettes’ starter in 2000 and led the franchise to Grey Cup wins in 2002, ’09, and ’10. He was also named the MVP of the ’02 Grey Cup game. In 2012, Calvillo became the first quarter-back in CFL history to pass for over 5,000 yards in a season seven times.

Calvillo’s jersey will be the 10th retired by the Alouettes. The others include Herb Trawick (No. 56), Virgil Wagner (No. 78), Etchevery (No. 72), Hal Pat-terson (No. 75), George Dixon (No. 28), Pierre Desjar-dins (No. 63), Dalla Riva (No. 74), Junior Ah You (No. 77) and Pringle (No. 27).


TORONTO — If the NHL ever chooses to add a second team in Toronto, that expansion franchise has to hope the Maple Leafs’ Stanley Cup drought continues.

Speaking in a hypothetical sense on the topic of a second team in the hockey-mad market, commis-sioner Gary Bettman said it’s one thing to consider.

“If we decided that we were putting a second team in Ontario, and the year the team was supposed to start, the Leafs won the Cup, that second team wouldn’t exist,” Bettman said in a conversation with George Stroumboulopoulos at a Canadian Club lun-cheon.

Stroumboulopoulos, the new host of Hockey Night In Canada and a self-professed Montreal Canadiens fan, interrupted Bettman to say, “That’s a big hypo-thetical.”

Bettman continued: “That’s part of the dynamic because the attention gets diluted, either two ways or three ways, and when you have historically estab-lished teams with great histories and traditions, the second team — even if the first team isn’t having tre-mendous success at the time — the second team will never quite get the premier coverage.”

A recent Twitter report by Howard Bloom of Sports Business News said the NHL would expand by four teams, one each in Quebec City, Seattle, Las Vegas and Toronto, by 2017. Bettman took issue with that report, which noted the expansion fees would add up to $1.4 billion, because it “under-priced” what that would be worth.

Bettman on Monday reiterated that the NHL has no current plans to undergo a formal expansion pro-cess. But expansion was a hot topic, given the finan-cial success and unbalanced alignment.

“What most people say to me is well, there’s 16 teams in the East, 14 in the West. What’s wrong with you? Can’t you count?” Bettman said. “And I say yes I can count but I also can tell time and we finally have all 16 teams in the Eastern Time Zone in the right place. But you don’t expand just to fulfil somebody’s notion of symmetry. It’s a very important business decision to make, and you do it for the right reasons at the right time.”

A second team in Toronto, even in the Eastern Time Zone, could theoretically play in the Western Conference for the sake of balance. The Leafs played in the West until the 1998-99 season.

But that wouldn’t solve every problem.“When you see markets with two teams or three

teams, the first team can do pretty well and the sec-ond team not as much, even if it has on-ice success, and the third team about the same,” Bettman said.

One team is always going to be more popular, like the New York Rangers despite trailing the Islanders and New Jersey Devils in Stanley Cups over the past 30-plus years.

Asked about territorial exclusivity on the part of the Leafs, Bettman said all it would take to approve any expansion franchise is a three-quarters vote, or 23 of the 30 teams.

“Nobody has a veto,” Bettman said.Of course the NHL is several steps away from

even getting to that point. The league continues to listen to expressions of interest from several mar-kets, but Bettman reiterated there are no current plans to expand.

“I know people think I have this list tucked away in a vault with cities lined up,” Bettman said. “We don’t. This is an important business decision if you’re going to expand. In addition to being one involving a lot of money, it’s a fundamentally important decision if you’re going to do that.”

CFL: Progressing“He’s progressing at a good tempo,” Stampeder

coach John Hufnagel said of Mitchell. “Probably will not make this game, maybe as a No. 3 guy. Hopefully he’ll be full-go for the next game.”

Calgary has built a reputation for winning despite injuries. They were 14-4 last season despite using three different starting quarterbacks.

But the Stampeders may have neared the limit of their depth Sunday in Montreal.

Not only were the starting quarterback and star running back absent, but leading receiver Marquay McDaniel was on the six-game injured list with a broken bone in his hand from the Toronto game.

The Stampeders managed two touchdowns on the ground and less than 300 yards on offence, but it was on the other side of the ball where Calgary was un-characteristically porous.

A team allowing an average of 18 points per game gave up 31. Montreal’s offence had the ball for al-most 38 minutes, while Calgary’s time of possession was just over 23.

Team sack leader Charleston Hughes (foot), de-fensive tackle Demonte Bolden (leg) and Hughes’s backup Ben D’Aguilar (knee) were also injured in the Toronto game.

That trio didn’t play in Montreal and they won’t Saturday against the Lions. Bolden is on the six-game injured list. It’s further decimated a defensive line that was already without starters Micah Johnson (knee) and Corey Mace (foot).

“That’s no excuse for the way we played,” defen-sive end Shawn Lemon said. “It doesn’t matter who is out. If you’re on this team we believe we can step up. I take it upon myself as well. I didn’t play up to my expectations and I wasn’t an impact in the last game.

“Just got to gain momentum back. We took a step back last week so just come out and get back to what we were doing the first 11 weeks of the season.”

The Stampeders added defensive lineman Caesar Rayford to the practice roster Tuesday. He played seven games and recorded five tackles for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys last season. The six-foot-seven Uni-versity of Washington product also spent time on the Lions practice roster in 2008.

Another team in Toronto could cause problems

NHL COMMISSIONER BETTMAN SAYS OLDER TEAM ALWAYS GOING TO BE MORE POPULAR

CFL

Rookie forward Drouin out 3 to 4 weeks due to right

thumb injuryTAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay Light-

ning rookie forward Jonathan Drouin will miss three to four weeks due to a right thumb injury.

The team announced Tuesday that the third overall pick in the 2013 draft

has a slight fracture of the thumb, which Drouin says occurred when he fell to the ice during practice Thurs-day.

Drouin, who was expected to make the Lightning opening day roster, add-ed that that injury is disappointing and unfortunate. He will skate on his own until cleared to resume practicing with the team.

Drouin was one of junior hockey’s top players the past two years, finish-ing with 29 goals and 108 points in 46 games last season for Halifax of the QMJHL.


BROSSARD, Que. — Tomas Pleka-nec has jumped right into his new role as one of the four alternate captains on the Montreal Canadiens.

The 31-year-old centre was sur-rounded by youngsters on the ice Tues-day for a skate ahead of the team’s pre-season opener against the Boston Bruins.

He was put on a line with fellow Czech Jiri Sekac and Swedish prospect Jacob de la Rose, who are in the mix for a job on right wing, even though both are left-hand shots.

“They give you energy,” said Pleka-nec. “Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with them.

“They’re flying everywhere and you’ve got to catch up to the tempo.”

Plekanec was a candidate to take over as captain when Brian Gionta left for Buffalo as a free agent in the sum-mer, but management opted not to give one player the C. Instead, Plekanec and defenceman Andrei Markov were named alternate captains, while P.K. Subban and Max Pacioretty will share the third A.

In training camp, it seems that part of the deal is for Plekanec to be a men-tor to young players.

The 22-year-old Sekac, who signed as a free agent, and 19-year-old de la Rose, a 2013 draft pick, were put in a ideal spot for their first NHL pre-season action by playing with Mon-treal’s best two-way centre and leading faceoff-taker.

“As big as they are, they skate really well,” Plekanec said of six-foot-two Sekac and six-foot-three de la Rose. “They’re fast and they’ve got all the skill in the world.”

The youngsters could not ask for a better role model. Plekanec got to the NHL the hard way, spending three seasons with AHL Hamilton before joining the Canadiens for good for the 2005-06 season.

There is a chance that one or the other, probably Sekac because he’s

older, will start the season in Montreal to fill a spot on right wing that opened with the departures of Gionta and Thomas Vanek. The other will head to Hamilton.

Montreal also acquired right-winger P.A. Parenteau, who so far has played on the right side of the first line with David Desharnais and Pacioretty.

Plekanec said he’ll help the young-sters any way he can.

“I went through a lot of ups and downs,” he said. “When I was as young as they are in camp and things didn’t go so well for me, I got down on myself.

“With them, it’s the same. Some-times they’ll get down for a couple of days when things don’t work out, and the other way around, they feel good about themselves and get a little too high and think they know everything. If I see something or if they need to ask me something, I’m there to help and try to put them on the right track.”

Sekac sifted through at least a dozen offers from NHL teams after impress-ing scouts while playing for Lev Prague in the KHL. He opted for Montreal be-cause it gave him a chance to play in the NHL right away. He signed a two-year entry level contract on July 1.

It may help that he comes from the same hometown, Kladno, as Plekanec. They have played roller hockey togeth-er in the summer, although they didn’t get to know each other until Sekac signed with Montreal.

“We want to give him an opportu-nity to feel comfortable as quick as he can and putting him with Plekanec, we think, is the best thing for him,” coach Michel Therrien said this week.

At first, they had Sven Andrighet-to as their right-winger, but Therrien opted to move de la Rose to left wing against Boston.

“I really don’t care what side I’m on,” said de la Rose. “The only thing I can control is to play the best I can, and that’s the only thing I’m thinking about.”

Plekanec spent time after the skate giving youngster Charles Hudon tips on faceoffs.

Capitals unveil Winter Classic jerseysBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Washington Capi-tals owner Ted Leonsis’ lobbying for a Winter Classic in his NHL team’s home city began with an email sent to Com-missioner Gary Bettman the moment the league’s first New Year’s Day game was played in 2008.

“The first emails I see any morn-ing, on any typical day, are from Ted on any of a variety of subjects but he has been both persistent and passion-ate in pursuit of this event,” Bettman said at Nationals Park on Tuesday, when the Capitals unveiled the uni-forms they’ll wear when they host the Chicago Blackhawks on Jan. 1. “We’re thrilled to be fulfilling his wish.”

On a sunny, start-of-autumn day with the temperature at about 70, Alex Ovechkin wore flip-flops and a bor-rowed pair of baseball pants, Nicklas Backstrom donned shorts, and Braden Holtby sported sunglasses while mod-eling the deep red jerseys with a blue “W,” three white stars and the word “Capitals” across the chest.

Hockey nets and boards showing the outline of a rink were set up across the back of the dirt diamond and the shallow outfield grass at the baseball stadium where the NL East champion Nationals play their home games.

“One of the things I did for Commis-sioner Bettman a few years back (was)

I had a rendering done of what the Winter Classic would look like here. So this is pretty cool to see,” said Mark Lerner, son of the Nationals’ principal

owner and a part-owner of the Capi-tals, as he looked at the setup. “Every time I saw him, I said, ’What about it?’ Ted and I were both on a mission since

Jan. 1, 2008, that we wanted to have it in D.C.”

Leonsis called landing the game “a big moment” for hockey in Washing-ton.

“Our city deserves it, so it feels good to finally know that we’re going to drop the puck New Year’s Day,” Leonsis said, “and I’m just hoping for snow.”

He was asked how much snow.“Enough,” Leonsis replied. “Just no

rain.”Tuesday’s news conference came

100 days before the Winter Classic, which Bettman said “will be sold out, if it’s not already.”

“New Year’s Day used to be about college football,” Leonsis said, “and now New Year’s Day is about hockey.”

The boards set up on the baseball field included logos of the Capitals and the Blackhawks.

With the backdrop of the much-dis-cussed appropriateness of the nick-name of Washington’s NFL team, the Redskins, Bettman was asked Tuesday about “Blackhawks.”

“I don’t think the two are analogous or comparable. The Blackhawks are accorded great respect, not just by the team that plays in Chicago but by the gentleman that first founded and owned them, naming them after his battalion that fought gallantly in World War I,” Bettman said. “I don’t think there’s any comparison between the two names.”

Penguins goalie Fleury staying focused despite contract uncertainty

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING


PITTSBURGH — Of all the things that happened during a tumultuous off-season for the Pittsburgh Penguins, shoring up goaltender Marc-Andre Fl-eury for the long term was not one of them.

Fleury is entering the final season of a seven-year, $35 million contract. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency next summer if he is not re-signed.

The first overall pick in the 2003 NHL draft helped the Penguins reach the 2008 Stanley Cup final and win the trophy in 2009. If entering a contract year or the possibility of a trade is weighing on him, Fleury is not letting on.

“I just want to go play, go win,” Fl-eury said Monday before giving up two power-play goals on 20 shots over two periods of work in Pittsburgh’s exhibi-tion loss to Detroit. “What’s going to happen is what’s going to happen. I’m not worried too much about it.”

For Fleury, the memory of the nego-tiations that went into his current deal has given him some perspective and eased the uncertainty. He was 23 when he signed that lucrative offer.

“I thought, ’I won’t have to worry about it for a long time,”’ Fleury said.

“And now I’m already entering my last year. It’s crazy how time flies. I was very fortunate to have that contract, to be in Pittsburgh for that long, to have that security, a chance to play with great players, win the Cup.”

Fleury also set franchise records for wins (288), shutouts (28) and playoff shutouts (eight). He’s had at least 35 wins every season except for lockout-shortened 2012-13.

But Fleury became a target as Pitts-burgh’s post-season failures piled up. Since winning the Cup, the team has reached the Eastern Conference final just once, getting swept by Boston in 2013, and lost in the first round twice. In 2013, Fleury lost his No. 1 role to Tomas Vokoun during the first round.

Fleury finally escaped harsh criti-cism last spring when the Penguins’ offence withered and the team blew a 3-1 series lead against the New York Rangers in the second round — a post-season disappointment that led to an overhaul of the Penguins’ staff and ros-ter.

There doesn’t seem to be much of a push, if any, to get a new contract in place for Fleury. How he performs this season and in the 2015 playoffs could heavily influence what approach the Penguins take under will new coach Mike Johnston and new general man-ager Jim Rutherford.


GLENEAGLES — Paul McGinley is not trying to re-invent the wheel at the Ryder Cup. He just wants to keep Eu-rope rolling.

The European captain spoke in mysterious terms Tuesday about a “template” his team has followed toward dominance in these matches. He didn’t offer many details, though the recent record should be all the evidence he needs.

Even though the teams are evenly matched, the power-ful Americans have won only twice in the last 21 years.

“I don’t see myself as a mav-erick,” McGinley said.

“I see myself as a guy who has been very lucky to ride shotgun on a lot of success, both as a player and vice cap-tain. I’ve learned a lot from the captains. This is not a time for me or Europe to have a maverick captain. It’s a time for me to go in, identify the template, enhance it and try to make it better, roll it out again and hopefully you hand it over to the next captain.”

McGinley speaks from ex-perience.

The Irishman has played a part in five of the last six Ryder Cup matches, all of them European victories dat-ing to 2002 when McGinley made his debut by holing the winning putt at The Belfry.

So what’s the secret?Matt Kuchar, one of nine

American players who have only posed with the prized trophy during team photos, doesn’t think there is one. Asked whether too much is made of European dominance because all but two of those victories came down to the wire, Kuchar suggested it was a coincidence.

“I can’t put my finger on anything, so that would be ran-dom,” Kuchar said.

Even more aggravating for the Americans is that they have won the majority of the five sessions the last two times.

“Why do they keep win-ning? I don’t know yet,” Zach Johnson said. “Other than the

fact that they’ve played well and won the tournament, I can’t answer.”

Players from both teams got in a full round of practice at Gleneagles in the long week leading to the opening tee shot Friday, which sets off three days of relentless action. U.S. captain Tom Watson began to tip his hand with some of the groupings, such as Kuchar playing with 21-year-old Jor-dan Spieth, and Jim Furyk with Ryder Cup rookie Patrick Reed.

McGinley sent his players out in threesomes, a sign that he has plenty of options to mix and match.

Watson has not been at any Ryder Cup since 1993, when he was captain of the last U.S. team to win on European soil, though he was quick to point out that I’ve been there every time watching intently on TV.“

It has looked like a horror show at times, especially two years ago Medinah when the Americans squandered a 10-6 lead on the last day. Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose and Ian Poulter won the last two holes for 1-up victories in three piv-otal matches.

From Watson’s viewpoint in front of a television screen, that’s why Europe keeps win-ning.

“They have been able to

pull it out a little better at the end than we have. That’s what I’ve seen,” Watson said. “They have pulled it out. I can’t ex-plain why. I have to give credit to the Europeans. They have played better at the end.”

Told about McGinley’s se-cret template, Watson smiled and said, “Can you tell me what his template is?”

The Europeans always have been able to rally around some cause. They were regarded as underdogs even when they were winning regularly.

The Ryder Cup was a chance for them to show their tour should not be portrayed as a second-class citizen in the world of golf, even though most players are joint mem-bers of the PGA Tour.

One year, the Europeans were put off by promotional chatter that the Nationwide Tour (now the Web.com Tour) was the second-best tour in golf.

Now they go into this Ryder Cup as favourites, and that has emboldened the Europeans.

“We believe in each other. Twelve becomes one,” said Thomas Bjorn, on the Euro-pean team for the first time in 12 years after three stints as a vice captain. “And I think that’s the importance of the European team, that we have a strong belief in each other.”


CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NA-SCAR announced a new rules package Tuesday that will ban all private testing in 2015, in-cluding the annual Daytona 500 test, and levy the stiffest penalty possible on any team caught conducting its own ses-sions.

The only testing allowed next season will be sessions conducted by NASCAR or Goodyear. Any team caught testing on its own will receive a P6 penalty, the highest on NASCAR’s new punishment scale. It carries a loss of 150 points, a minimum $150,000 fine and a six-week suspen-sion for the crew chief and other crew members.

“It will be a huge penalty if anyone is caught,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR’s execu-tive vice-president and chief racing development officer.

O’Donnell said NASCAR believes teams will police the testing themselves and report any organization that breaks the ban.

The three-day annual Day-tona 500 test each January was as much about promoting the season-opening race as it was for teams to shake off any cobwebs from the off-season. O’Donnell said that time will now be used to send drivers on a cross-country promotion-al tour similar to the “Chase Across North America” that NASCAR held this month with its 16 Chase championship drivers assigned to visit vari-ous race markets.

Scrapping the Daytona test was initiated by NASCAR, O’Donnell said, and not a con-cession to the newly-formed Race Team Alliance, the group of team owners that is pushing for better efficiencies and reduced costs for competi-tion. The RTA maintained the on-track portion of Daytona testing was a waste of money and promoting the Daytona 500 was the priority.

“It’s with collaboration,” O’Donnell said. “It’s working with the entire industry.”

There didn’t seem to be many objections to the testing ban throughout the industry.

“It’s good financially for ev-eryone, most importantly the

lower funded teams who may-be don’t have the funds to go test,” said Brian Pattie, crew chief for Clint Bowyer. “Sav-ing money across the board is beneficial for every team.”

Among other changes to the rules package are updated qualifying formats, including at the Daytona 500. The front row will now be set through group qualifying instead of the traditional single-car runs. The rest of the field will be set by a pair of qualifying races later in Speedweeks.

NASCAR is also reducing engine horsepower through a tapered spacer from 850 to 725, and cutting the rear spoiler from 8 inches high to 6 inches. Changes will take about 300 pounds of downforce off of the car.

The horsepower reduction should slow cars from 5-7 mph, O’Donnell said, and is aimed to create more passing through the field over the course of a long green-flag run.

“I think where you will really see it is in the turns, where drivers need to come off the throttle more, and we believe that will be where we see more passing,” O’Donnell said.

He said the goal is more green-flag passes for the lead and “we believe that will hap-pen with drivers potentially making errors in the corner, and that’s not just for the lead, but the entire field.”

Pattie felt it was a step in the right direction.

“If the racing is better, that means it’s better for the fans which in turn makes it better for all of us,” he said.

Six-time and defending NA-SCAR champion Jimmie John-son said Tuesday the drivers would have preferred a larger amount of downforce being taken away, but that drivers don’t mind if the cars are more difficult to drive.

“In time, we’re going to re-ally make these cars hard to drive. I think that is the goal where things are going to go,” Johnson said. “And hopefully (we’ll) get a tire on the cars that wears out.”

Other changes announced Tuesday are that NASCAR will also now use rain tires in the Sprint Cup Series at Sono-ma and Watkins Glen.

THE LAST OF THE SNOW


The last of last winter’s snow is almost gone from the snow dump on the south side of the city. A dozer operator spreads out the remainder of a giant pile of snow that has persisted through the summer. Located at the City of Red Deer landfill, the snow dump is being worked by machinery to make sure it is totally gone and can be cleaned up before the city has to begin adding more snow this winter.

Sylvan multiplex cost risesCOUNCIL APPROVES $30.6-MILLION PROJECT BUT WON’T INCREASE DEBT LOAD

BY PAUL COWLEYADVOCATE STAFF

Sylvan Lake will juggle its long-term capital plan to free up an extra $1.6 million for a new multiplex.

Town council voted on Monday to increase the budget for the recreation facility to $30.6 million after construc-tion costs came in higher than antici-pated because of a hot construction market.

Mayor Sean McIntyre said council decided it was important to retain the “original scope” of the project, which

will be known as the NexSource Cen-tre. It includes an arena, curling rink, seniors centre, children’s play area and other civic spaces.

“We want to make sure that years down the road the facility still makes sense, that the user groups are satis-fied, and the people who signed on to sponsor are also still satisfied.”

Council does not intend to borrow more than the $13 million already planned.

“We need to respect our debt limit,” he said.

“So what we will be doing is scru-tinizing our 10-year capital plan and

moving projects where needed to make sure our financial capacity can both achieve what we need to accomplish in the community as well as seeing the NexSource Centre through to comple-tion.”

New financial options were pursued after the most recent cost estimate for the 91,000-square-foot facility came in at $32 million, up from an earlier $29-million estimate.

Four alternatives, ranging from $29 million to $30.6 million, were pre-sented to council for consideration on Monday.

All alternatives reduced the facil-

ity’s square footage by cutting back lobby space and other tweaks.

The lowest price option would have also chopped some multi-purpose spaces and reduced the size of the pro-posed five-sheet curling rink. The rink is designed with a pad large enough to convert it to a full-sized arena in the future.

Detailed design work will now be undertaken for the project, which will go back to council for review early next year.

If all goes to plan, it is expected that shovels will go into the ground in 2016.

A former Red Deer teacher who pleaded guilty to raping a student almost 40 years ago has lost the appeal of his sentence.

Warren Fertig, who is 73, pleaded guilty in November to one count of rape involving a girl during the 1970s.

He was sentenced in March to five years.The Alberta Court of Appeal in Calgary dis-

missed his case on Tuesday, but the reasons for the ruling were not immediately available.

His former student said she had sex with Fertig for three years starting when she was 12 years old.

Fertig was a teacher and vice-principal of the school in Red Deer at the time.

After the sentencing in Red Deer in March, the woman who was raped said she found clo-sure after his sentencing.

“The power is not with him anymore. That chapter in my life is now closed,” she said.

The assault occurred when the victim was 12 to 15 years old and Fertig was 35 to 37.

In March, Judge Norman Mackie told the court that Fertig’s behaviour was “morally de-spicable” when announcing the five-year sen-tence, which went beyond the two-to-four-year prison sentence recommended by Crown pros-ecutor Jason Snider. Defence lawyer Alain Hepner argued for a conditional sentence of two years less a day to be served in the com-munity under strict conditions.

Mackie said at times in the case Fertig re-ferred to his own actions as “bad judgment.” The judge said it was more like a “string of self-indulgences.”

According to the agreed statement of facts, Fertig had sexual intercourse with the victim

10 to 15 times.Instead of sexual assault, he was charged

with rape, which was what the crime was called in the Criminal Code at the time of the offences.

Fertig was friendly towards the victim as soon as she began attending junior high class-es at River Glen School.

The majority of the incidents occurred after she babysat his children while he was driving her home.

Fertig threatened that if she told anyone, her family would not be allowed to attend the school.

As both a school administrator and her em-ployer, the judge said Fertig was in a double position of trust and not only did he breach the victim’s trust, but the trust of the teaching profession.

An undercover police investigation into the offences began in 2011 after the victim con-tacted police. She met Fertig to assist police in gathering evidence.

Mackie said Fertig was almost revelling in his past sexual acts with the victim and as a re-sult Fertig was caught by the victim and smart police assistance.

The charge of rape was laid in September 2011.

The judge said the victim has turned out to be more powerful than her abuser.

Following the sentencing, the victim told local media that she got her strength back by reading her impact statement in court in Janu-ary and the sentencing has given her closure.

She said she was satisfied with the five-year prison sentence and thinks it’s fair.

It’s not certain if Annie L. Gaetz Elementary School stu-dents will move or stay put during renovations.

In January, the province announced $5.2 million to up-grade the Red Deer Public School District school’s me-chanical, electrical, interior and exterior infrastructure. The renovations could take up to a year to complete.

Parents will find out on Thursday whether the en-tire 305 student body will re-locate to the former Gateway Christian School site down-town or six classes will relo-cate to the Church of Naza-rene and the remaining eight classes will stay in the school.The meeting takes place at 7 p.m. at the school.

Last week, a parent meeting discussed the options. About 75 or 80 people attended the meeting and newsletters were sent out to families. Parents

also shared their thoughts through an online engagement tool on the school district’s website.

The district will now con-sider all the feedback before making a decision.

The changes will likely oc-cur over the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Bruce Buruma, director of community relations for the district, said the parents were very supportive during last week’s meeting. He said most parents supported a relocation scenario. Buruma said nothing is set in stone but their hope is that the school would be fin-ished by next August.

“The reality is we are nev-er 100 per cent with construc-tion,” he said. “That would be the aim.”

If the district chooses to re-locate the students to a new site, it would be the first time. During other school modern-ization projects, the students were simply moved to another location in the school.

Two Innisfail men chargedin assault on cabbie

Red Deer Mounties have arrested two Innisfail men and charged them with assaulting a taxi driver in April.

A 22-year-old and 21-year-old face charges including assault, assault causing bodily harm, fraud and failing to attend court. They will appear in Red Deer provincial court later in Sep-tember and in October respectively.

The charges stem from an April 10 incident where a taxi driver was as-saulted.

Red Deer RCMP said the accused refused to pay the driver once they had reached their destination in Norman-deau. The driver attempted to stop the two individuals, but it is alleged that they kicked and punched him.

The driver was taken to hospital and later released.

Red Deer RCMP would like to thank the public’s widespread sharing of the photos of the two suspects, which led to their arrest.

Seven people injuredin Hwy 2 rollover

Seven people were injured and two had to be airlifted after the vehicle they were in rolled near Ponoka.

The Ponoka Integrated Traffic Unit was called to the crash at about 4:30 p.m. Monday afternoon about five km north of Hwy 53 on Hwy 2.

Police said the vehicle was south-bound on Hwy 2 with seven people on board when it left the road and rolled into the ditch.

All seven people were hurt in the crash. Five were taken by ambulance to Ponoka Hospital and two were air-lifted by STARS Air Ambulance to Ed-monton with critical injuries.

The crash closed both northbound lanes and one southbound lane as an RCMP traffic reconstructionist as-sessed the incident.

The investigation continues.

Prentice here Oct. 16for annual premier’s dinner

Jim Prentice, who was elected Pro-gressive Conservative Party of Alberta leader in early September, will be coming to the leader’s dinner in Red Deer on Oct. 16.

Prentice became premier of Alberta once he was elected PC leader.

The party holds the dinners annu-ally, and this year it will be held at the Sheraton Red Deer, with the reception at 6 p.m. and dinner at 7.

Tickets are $275 or a $2,750 for a table.

It will be the first chance for local party members to officially meet Pren-tice.

Wild Rose superintendent announces retirement

The superintendent of the Wild Rose School Division has announced he will be retiring at the end of the current school year.

Brian Celli, who has held the posi-tion for the past five years, announced his plans to retire at a recent meeting of the school board.

The school board will now begin the process of hiring a replacement with the intent of having the new superin-tendent known by next spring.

“On behalf of the board of trustees, I would like to thank Brian for the ded-ication, hard work and passion that he invested in our schools,” board chair Nancy McClure said.

Evergreen neighbourhood plan responses sought

Red Deer city council wants to hear from any person claiming to be affect-ed by the new Evergreen Neighbour-hood Area Structure Plan on Monday.

A public hearing on the proposed bylaw paving the way for the new com-munity is slated for 6 p.m. in council chambers.

The proposed neighbourhood is lo-cated in the northwest quarter of Sec-

tion 26 and is bounded by the 30th Av-enue and Northland Drive extension.

For more information, call Legisla-tive Services at 403-342-8132.

Shooting casemoved ahead in court

Criminal proceedings against a Pine Lake man accused in a non-fatal shoot-ing have been pushed forward by a judge in Red Deer provincial court.

Cory Lavallee, 29, was arrested near Bashaw on June 21 by RCMP members investigating a shooting incident in the Pine Lake area on June 2. The un-named victim, alleged to be acquaint-ed with the suspect, was hospitalized for treatment. Police said at the time that his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

Lavallee was charged with attempt-ed murder, using a firearm to commit an offence and unauthorized posses-sion of a firearm.

Represented by Edmonton-based defence counsel George Lebessis, Lavallee had already made 13 court appearances on Tuesday when Judge Bart Rosborough ordered that he be tried by judge and jury in the Court of Queen’s Bench, with a preliminary hearing beforehand.

Lebessis advised the judge that he was not in a position to make an elec-tion or plea for his client, because por-tions of the disclosure package have not yet been provided to him and his client, who is still in remand and has not yet had a bail hearing.

Noting that Lavallee has made a number of appearances without enter-ing his election or plea, Rosborough said setting a date for a preliminary hearing would move the process for-ward. If needed, the Crown prosecu-tor’s office could be ordered to pro-duce any disclosure that has not been turned over within a reasonable time frame.

Proceedings against Lavallee are being handled by a specialized Crown prosecutor based in Edmonton.

Penhold Telus line down,residents asked to use cells

A fibre optic line went down in Pen-hold, knocking out landline phones in the area after an accident on Monday evening.

Penhold fire crews were called to the downed line at 5:47 p.m. near the intersection of Robinson Avenue and

Lucina Street in Penhold.Fire Chief Jim Pendergast reported

a vehicle being transported on a trac-tor trailer came into contact with the line. The line was torn down and was strewn across the road.

Fire crews had to close off Lucina Street for about three hours.

Fortis was called to make sure it was not a power line, which it was not. Then homeowners in the area report-ed their house phones were not work-ing, which led to the determination that it was a Telus line.

Telus was unable to get crews to the area until Tuesday morning. A Telus spokesperson said the damage was quite extensive. The spokesperson was unable to provide an estimate on when the work would be completed.

In the meantime, Pendergast asks people affected to use their cellphones or go to their neighbours to call 911 if they have an emergency.

There were no injuries during this incident.

Avoid being scammed:session on Oct. 3

A half-hour session early next month in Red Deer is designed to help and empower people to recognize fraud.

The session will look at some of the current scams out there, and ways to avoid being scammed.

The program is open to the general public, and is being offered by the Alberta Council of Aging and enactus SAIT, a group of student, academic, and business leaders “committed to using the power of entrepreneurial ac-tion to transform lives and shape a bet-ter, more sustainable world.”

The session is on Oct. 3, from 11 to 11:30 a.m. at The Hub on Ross, located at 4936 50th St.

Writing competitionfor local youth

Young writers in Central Alberta have a chance to win an iPad, a pizza

party and choose where a $60,000 grant goes to help Habitat for Humanity.

Genworth Canada is putting on a national writing contest asking for sub-missions from students in Grades 4, 5 and 6.

In the contest, students are asked to produce and submit an original piece of work. It can be a composition, essay or poem.

For every entry, Genworth will do-nate $5 to the local Habitat for Human-ity chapter.

The winner gets to direct a $60,000 grant from Genworth to a Habitat build of their choice and students can win tablets and even a pizza party for their whole school.

Kenyan orphanage funds exceed expectations

A yard and bake sale put on by the Sylvan Lake Apostolic Lutheran Church raised more than $3,000 for a Kenyan orphanage.

The day-long fundraiser ran on Sat-urday.

It aimed to raise money for the Saint John’s Champion Children’s Home in the African nation.

Going into the event, organizers hoped to raise $1,500, which would cover the cost of completing the or-phanage.

Instead, a total of $3,628 was raised, more than doubling the group’s origi-nal goal.

For more information on the or-phanage, visit www.themissionsite.com/kenya.html.

PORTRAIT OF A REBORN PROGRAMLOCALBRIEFS

Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff-RDC

Under the direction of Red Deer photographer Andy Anderson, the Red Deer College Kings hockey team pose for a team portrait on ice at the Penhold Arena. The Kings kick off their 2014-2015 season at home against the visiting Augustana Vikings on Friday, Sept. 26, at 7 p.m. at the Penhold Arena. The Kings returned to the Alberta Colleges Men’s Hockey League last year.


LONDON — New estimates from the World Health Organization warn the number of Ebola cases could hit 21,000 in six weeks unless efforts to curb the out-break are ramped up.

Since the first cases were reported six months ago, the tally of cases in West Africa has reached an estimated 5,800 illnesses. WHO officials say cases are continuing to increase exponentially and Ebola could sicken people for years to come without better control measures.

In recent weeks, health officials worldwide have stepped up efforts to provide aid but the virus is still spreading. There aren’t enough hospital beds, health workers or even soap and water in the hardest-hit West African countries: Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Last week, the U.S. announced it would build more than a dozen medical centres in Liberia and send 3,000 troops to help. Britain and France have also pledged to build treatment centres in Sierra Leone and Guinea and the World Bank and UNICEF have sent more than $1 million worth of supplies to the region.

“We’re beginning to see some signs in the re-sponse that gives us hope this increase in cases won’t happen,” said Christopher Dye, WHO’s director of strategy and study co-author, who acknowledged the predictions come with a lot of uncertainties.

“This is a bit like weather forecasting. We can do it a few days in advance, but looking a few weeks or months ahead is very difficult.”

They also calculated the death rate to be about 70 per cent among hospitalized patients but noted many Ebola cases were only identified after they died. So far, about 2,800 deaths have been attributed to Ebola. Dye said there was no proof Ebola was more infectious or deadly than in previous outbreaks.

The new analysis was published online Tues-day by the New England Journal of Medicine — six months after the first infections were reported on March 23.

WHO is just one of the groups that have attempted to calculate the epidemic’s future toll.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to release its own pre-dictions for only Liberia and Sierra Leone — the two West African countries that recently have shown the steadiest and most alarming spread of cases.

The CDC calculations are based, in part, on as-sumptions that cases have been dramatically under-reported. Other projections haven’t made the same kind of attempt to quantify illnesses that may have been missed in official counts.

CDC scientists conclude there may be as many as 21,000 reported and unreported cases in just those two countries as soon as the end of this month, ac-cording to a draft version of the report obtained by The Associated Press. They also predict that the two countries could have a staggering 550,000 to 1.4 mil-lion cases by late January.

The agency’s numbers seem “somewhat pessi-mistic” and do not account for infection control ef-forts already underway, said Dr. Richard Wenzel, a Virginia Commonwealth University scientist who formerly led the International Society for Infectious Diseases. Other outside experts questioned WHO’s projections and said Ebola’s spread would ultimate-ly be slowed not only by containment measures but by changes in people’s behaviour.

“It’s a big assumption that nothing will change in the current outbreak response,” said Dr. Ar-mand Sprecher, an infec-tious diseases specialist at Doctors Without Bor-ders.

“Ebola outbreaks usu-ally end when people stop touching the sick,” he said. “The outbreak is not going to end tomor-row but there are things we can do to reduce the case count.”

Local health officials have launched campaigns to educate people about the symptoms of Ebola and not to touch the sick or the dead. Previous Eb-ola outbreaks have been in other areas of Africa; this is the first to hit West Africa.

Sprecher was also unconvinced Ebola could con-tinue causing cases for years and said diseases that persist in the environment usually undergo signifi-cant changes to become less deadly or transmissible.

Dye and colleagues wrote they expected the num-bers of cases and deaths from Ebola to continue ris-ing from hundreds to thousands of cases per week in the coming months — and reach 21,000 by early November. He said it was worrisome that new cases were popping up in areas that hadn’t previously reported Ebola, like in parts of Guinea.

“The picture is too un-clear at the moment,” he said, noting the outbreak is continuing to double in

size about every three weeks.Scientists said the response to Ebola in the next

few months would be crucial.“The window for controlling this outbreak is clos-

ing,” said Adam Kucharski, a research fellow in in-fectious disease epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

TODAY IN HISTORY

When he isn’t singing, Big Wreck’s Ian Thornley is a man of few words.

Perhaps wisely, he let his guitars do most of the talking at Mon-day night’s near sellout rock concert at Red Deer’s Memo-rial Centre.

And it turned out the six-stringers the frontman regularly traded off (one per song, in every colour, as if guitar-making elves were busy backstage) had a lot of fascinating things to say.

Thornley and fellow Big Wreck guitarists Paolo Neta and Brian Doherty coaxed indelible sounds from their endless parade of different instruments.

From the Celtic-flavoured melody for Albatross, created with a double-necked electric number, to the echoey, atmospherics on Blown Wide Open, achieved with more stan-dard guitar, the concert was a very cool, visceral listening experience.

Certainly the 600-plus Central Al-berta fans who attended thought so. Many were up on their feet by the sec-ond tune, That Song, waving their arms and rock fingers in the air.

Meanwhile, purple and blue stage lights swept the band as Thornley re-peated the familiar refrain: “I real-ly love that tune, Man, I loooove that song, I really loooove that song. ...”

Despite some sound-system distor-tion, the performance underlined that Thornley’s other most powerful instru-ment is his distinctive, acrobatic tenor voice.

He used it almost operatically on songs like I Digress, about jealous in-security, which involves a painfully howled “ooooh” preceding “I’m the one for you.”

On Wolves, Thornley sang “bleeeed out your heart (if it’s still beating for someone else)” as if the words are ac-tually being drained out of him.

His big voice was cast like a net over the audience during the tunes My Life and Ghosts, roping us in with such lines as “If these ghosts let me go, I would

set fire to them all. ...” The latter song also included that rarest of beasts, an innovative guitar/bass duel between

Thornley and McMillan,It became very evident

that Big Wreck is made up of five immensely talent-ed musicians — including drummer Chuck Keeping, who helped create a darkly hypnotic and building beat, starting with a throw to Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall and finishing with an intense version of Big Wreck’s Ladylike.

For the record, Thorn-ley did do some talking: He threw out a “How’re ya do-ing?” to the crowd, apolo-gized for forgetting the sec-ond verse of a song (he said

he should just write two first verses in future and be done with it), and admit-ted he can’t stand to be around smok-ers since quitting a couple of months ago.

But let’s face it, his music spoke louder.

By the encore, a quarter of audience members had left their seats and were crowding around the stage as musical chameleon Neta sang Highway to Hell (doing an amazing job of channelling AC/DC, by the way).

Thornley later took back the mike to close the show with Big Wreck’s early hit, The Oaf.

As he finished singing “My luck is wasted,” Thornley launched into an otherworldly guitar solo that was haunting, strange and indescribable — a fantastic way to end an unforgettable concert.

The night opened with another tal-ented band, “rock ’n’ roll mammoth” Royal Tusk.

Edmonton’s bearded rockers have good sense of a catchy riff, as shown in such songs as The Letter and anoth-er that curses the weather, ‘‘cause we hate it when it rains.” Singer Daniel Carriere can also play a mean har-monica.

Jerry then took his Fourth Class Power Engineering, and worked for Prime Boiler until he opened his own company High Fire Boiler Service Ltd. Jerry worked hard and long, and died as he wanted “with his boots on”. He was in Grande Prairie doing an annual inspection. Everyone is welcome to come to a viewing on Thursday, September 25th at 7:00 pm, and the funeral service on Friday, September 26th at 11:00 am at The First Church of The Nazarene, 2 McVicar St., Red Deer. For those who wish donations in Jerry’s honor may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or the Red Deer Minor Hockey Association. Expressions of sympathy may be made by visiting www.wilsons’funeralchapel.ca

KUEFLERAudric B. (Dick)Jan. 3, 1933 - Sept. 21, 2014It is with sadness that we mark the passing of husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, Dick Kuefl er. Dick was born to Barthel and Rose Kuefl er at Radway AB, the youngest of three sons behind Roland (Bart) and Merton (Chick) and was followed by sisters Charmaine (Barrie) and Colaine (Gordon). Together with his wife, hard work and business choices saw the family grow to become prominent hoteliers across Alberta. Dick married Anne in 1954. Together they raised a brood of fi ve children; who in turn added eleven grandchildren; who in turn have added two great-grandchildren (so far) to the legacy of their loving family. Dick left us on the last full day of summer just a few weeks short of sixty years of marriage. Surrounded by Anne and all of his children, Dick left this world in peace and grace and leaves to remember him his loving wife Anne; son Quinn (Patti) and children, Blaine (Sara) and baby Adela, Evan (Shannon) and Kaylee, all of Calgary; daughter Lynn (Bob) Pearsall of Cabo San Lucas Mexico and Lynn’s daughters Sheena (Jared) Wildman and Lauren (Spencer) Wildman of Sacramento and Napa California respectively; daughter Heather (Robin) Fischer and children Danielle and Jake all of Lacombe; daughter Janice (John) Boreni of Memphis TN; and daughter Darcie (Greg) Holteen, of Kingston NB and their children Kurt and Kale of Red Deer; Danna-Leigh (Adam) Barry and their baby boy Audric, soon to be of Miramachi NB; and son Clayton as well of Kingston NB. Dick’s family and friends will gather in Lacombe to celebrate his life and legacy with prayers and a visitation on Thursday September 25, 2014, at 7:00 o’clock p.m. and with a celebration of his life to follow on Friday, September 26, at 3:00 o’clock p.m. both at Wilson’s Funeral Chapel, 6120- Highway 2A, Lacombe, AB. In lieu of fl owers the family would ask that donations be made to the Red Deer Regional Hospital Foundation for specifi c dedication to the hemo-dialysis unit. Expressions of sympathy may be made by visiting www.wilsonsfuneralchapel.ca.

Syrian president vows to keep fighting

Life sentence for moderate

Chinese scholar likely to chill dialogue on

ethnic tensionsBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — A life sentence given to a moderate Chinese scholar on Tuesday shows the ruling Com-munist Party is cutting off dialogue on ethnic ten-sions and could backfire by radicalizing minorities, scholars and analysts said.

A court found economics professor Ilham Tohti, an ethnic Uighur Muslim, guilty of separatism and sentenced him to life in prison. It was the most se-vere penalty in a decade for illegal political speech in China and eclipsed the 11-year jail sentence given Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo on subver-sion charges.

“Ilham Tohti’s situation gives scholars like me who ... work on the issue great concern about our safety and academic freedom,” a scholar said after Tuesday’s sentencing, requesting anonymity because of fear of punishment from authorities.

Ilham Tohti is seen as a moderate voice with ties to both ethnic Uighurs and the Han Chinese ma-jority. A Communist Party member and professor at Beijing’s Minzu University, he ran the website Uighur Online that highlighted issues affecting the ethnic group.

The sentence of life imprisonment “is a very dis-turbing message, as the door to dialogue is closed because this scholar promoted dialogue between the Uighurs and the Chinese intellectuals,” said Willy Lam, a political analyst at the City University of Hong Kong. “Beijing’s message is that they do not look to dialogue with the Uighurs but suppression.”

China says it faces grave terror threats, particu-larly in Xinjiang, the ancestral home of Uighurs. Riots in 2009 in the regional capital of Urumqi killed nearly 200 people, according to the government, and violence over the past year and a half has left more than 300 people dead, nearly half shot by police in a strike-hard campaign by the government to fight what it calls terrorist cells.

Beijing has blamed the unrest on foreign-influ-enced terrorists seeking a separate state. But many Muslim Uighurs bristle under Beijing’s heavy-hand-ed restrictions on their religious life and resent the influx of the Han majority into their homeland.

For years, Ilham Tohti has been speaking openly about the problems in his home region. “At pres-ent in Xinjiang, the exclusion of and discrimination against Uighurs is quite systematic, with the govern-ment leading the way,” he said in an interview with Voice of America last year, following a deadly attack involving Uighurs in the heart of Beijing.

Prosecutors said Ilham Tohti was the ringleader of “a criminal gang seeking to split the country” and “caused severe harm to national security and social stability.” His lawyers said the scholar’s remarks — on the Internet, in his classrooms or with foreign media — did not advocate separatism and instead sought to resolve the region’s ethnic tensions.

James Leibold, a scholar of ethnic policies at La Trobe University of Melbourne, said Ilham Tohti “made a positive, moderate, and courageous contri-bution to the ongoing discussion on China’s ethnic policy” and his life sentence is a “real tragedy.”


DAMASCUS, Syria — President Bashar Assad said Tuesday he supports any international effort against terrorism, apparently trying to position his govern-ment on the side of the U.S.-led coalition conducting airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria.

Assad’s remarks came hours after the opening salvo in what the United States has warned will be a lengthy campaign to defeat the extremists who have seized control of a huge swath of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq border. Damascus said the U.S. in-formed it beforehand that the strikes were coming.

One Syrian activist group reported that dozens of Islamic State fighters were killed in the pre-dawn strikes, but the numbers could not be independently confirmed. Several activists also reported at least 10 civilians killed.

Some Syrian rebels fighting to oust Assad wel-comed the American-led strikes, but others ex-pressed frustration that the coalition was only tar-geting the Islamic State group and not the Syrian government.

One rebel faction that has received U.S.-made advanced weapons, Harakat Hazm, criticized the airstrikes, saying they violate Syria’s sovereignty and undermine the anti-Assad revolution.

“The only party benefiting from the foreign inter-vention in Syria is the Assad regime, especially in the absence of a real strategy to bring it down,” the group said in a statement posted on its Twitter feed.

The air campaign expanded to also hit al-Qaida’s branch in Syria, known as the Nusra Front, which has fought against the Islamic State group. Wash-ington considers it a terrorist group threatening the U.S., although Western-backed Syrian rebel groups frequently co-operate with Nusra Front fighters on the battlefield.

In a meeting Tuesday with an Iraqi envoy, Assad voiced his support for “any international anti-terror-ism effort,” according to the state news agency SA-NA. Assad did not specifically mention the coalition airstrikes, but said Syria is “decisively continuing in the war it has waged for years against extremist ter-rorism in all its forms.”

He also stressed that all nations must commit to stop support for terrorism — an apparent reference to countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar who are strong backers of Syrian rebels, whom the Syrian government calls terrorists.

In recent weeks, Syrian officials insisted that any international strikes on its soil must be co-ordinated with Damascus or else they would be considered an act of aggression and a breach of Syria’s sovereignty. The United States has ruled out any co-ordination with Assad’s government.

Still, Damascus appeared to want to show it was not being left out, vowing in a statement to fight ex-tremist faction across Syria and pledging to co-ordi-nate “with countries that were harmed by the group, first and foremost Iraq.”

Syria “stands with any international effort to fight

terrorism, no matter what a group is called — wheth-er Daesh or Nusra Front or something else,” it said, using an Arabic name for the Islamic State group.

Syria’s Foreign Ministry said Washington told Damascus’ U.N. envoy of the impending raids shortly before they began. It also said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry passed a message through Iraq’s foreign minister to Syria’s top diplomat to inform Damascus of the plans.

In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the United States informed Syria through the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. of its intent to take action, but did not request the Assad govern-ment’s permission or co-ordinate with Damascus.

Syria’s two key allies, Iran and Russia, condemned the strikes. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in New York that the U.S.-led coalition’s airstrikes are illegal because they were not approved by or co-ordinated with Syria’s government.

Russia warned that the “unilateral” U.S. air-strikes are destabilizing the region and urged Wash-ington to secure either Damascus’ consent or U.N. Security Council support.

The Lebanese Shiite militant Hezbollah group, which has dispatched fighters to Syria to bolster As-sad’s forces, also condemned the strikes.

“We are against an international coalition, wheth-er it is against the regime ... or whether it is against Daesh,” Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech.

“This is an opportunity, pretext, for America to dominate the region again.”

The strikes, conducted by the U.S., Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, hit Islamic State training compounds and command centres, storage facilities and vehicles in the group’s de facto capital, Raqqa, in northeastern Syria, and the surrounding province, U.S. officials said. They also struck territory controlled by the group in east-ern Syria leading to the Iraqi border.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that at least 70 Islamic State group fighters were killed and more than 300 wounded. Ra-mi Abdurrahman, the Observatory head, said about 22 airstrikes hit Raqqa province in addition to 30 in Deir el-Zour province.

Man charged with abduction with intent to defile in case of missing Virginia student


CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A suspect has been charged in the disappearance of a British-born Uni-versity of Virginia student, but the man has not been apprehended, police said Tuesday night.

Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said at a news conference that officers obtained an arrest warrant charging Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., 32, with abduction with intent to defile.

Police have said they believe Matthew was the last person seen with 18-year-old Hannah Graham, who disappeared early the morning of Sept. 13.

Matthew was last seen Saturday when he stopped by the police station to ask for a lawyer. Police say he sped away afterward, losing officers who had him under surveillance and prompting authorities to is-sue two arrest warrants for reckless driving.

Longo said police, who have searched Matthew’s car once and his apartment twice, decided they had probable cause to charge him in Graham’s disap-pearance. He declined to say what new information police had, and he did not take questions.

Officials said earlier that they took clothing dur-ing their second search of Matthew’s apartment Mon-day, but they would not elaborate on the importance of the items.

Police first searched the apartment Monday, and police Capt. Gary Pleasants said information that came up during the investigation led to a second search. He would not give details about the clothing or elaborate on the search.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the state lab was still analyzing evidence it has received from the Charlot-tesville Police Department, which included nearly two dozen items and eight “known samples that we would use for comparison purposes,” said Jeffrey Ban, director of the Department of Forensic Sci-ence’s Central Laboratory in Richmond.

Ban said that the department has expedited the case and hoped to provide authorities with results

in the “very near future.” But he noted the lab could spend hours or even a whole day on a single piece of evidence that may have multiple stains or hairs on it. He also said it is standard procedure to test any samples against those in their database, including those from other missing persons cases in the central Virginia area.

Matthew has been employed at the University of Virginia Medical Center since Aug. 12, 2012, as a patient technician in the operating room, university spokesman McGregor McCance said.

Online court records show Matthew was convicted of trespassing in 2010 but provide no details about the incident. Details also were unavailable for two other charges of assault and attempted grand lar-ceny relating to a 2009 incident that were not pros-ecuted. Matthew also has several traffic infractions, records show.

Matthew had a taxi permit from 2007 through 2010, according to Pam Goheen with Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles.

Police have not offered any details about how he and Graham, a sophomore from northern Virginia, may be connected.

Authorities on Tuesday released an updated want-ed poster reflecting the new charge against Matthew. It says Matthew was last reported driving his sister’s 1997 light blue Nissan Sentra, and notes that he is said to have contacts in Virginia, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.

According to police, Graham met friends at a res-taurant for dinner on Sept. 12 before stopping by two parties at off-campus housing units. The sophomore from northern Virginia left the second party alone, police have said, and sent a text message to a friend saying she was lost.

Surveillance videos showed her walking, and at some points running, past a pub and a service sta-tion and then onto the Downtown Mall, a seven-block pedestrian strip lined with shops and restaurants where police believe she entered a bar with Mat-thew.

Police deliver the pie after Pizza Hut driver injured in Portland crash

PORTLAND, Ore. — After a pizza delivery driver was injured in a crash in Portland, Oregon, two po-lice officers completed the delivery for him.

Steve Huckins tells KOIN that he and his wife were concerned Sept. 1 when the officers showed up at their home, but they started laughing when they received the pizza.

They’re thanking Officers Michael Filbert and Royce Curtiss for going out of their way.The Pizza Hut driver hurt his neck and back in the collision at an intersection.

Two wounded in central Florida mall shooting; two men found dead in

fleeing vehicle after crash

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Authorities say two people have been wounded in a shooting at a central Flor-ida mall, and police are trying to determine if two men found dead a short time later in a crashed ve-hicle are connected.

Kissimmee police said in a news release that of-ficers responded to shots being fired at the Osceola Square Mall’s Ross Dress For Less store around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday. Police say the injuries of the two vic-tims didn’t appear to be life-threatening.

As officers were heading to the store, they saw a vehicle matching the suspect vehicle heading toward them. The news release says they turned around to follow and eventually found it crashed with two men dead inside. Officials say it isn’t immediately clear if the men were the shooting suspects.

Charges dropped against homeless man found in Pennsylvania hotel

PITTSBURGH — Prosecutors in western Pennsyl-vania have dropped charges against a homeless man found squatting inside the presidential suite of a Pittsburgh hotel last fall.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that Al-legheny County prosecutors on Monday withdrew criminal trespass and theft of services charges against 48-year-old Jeffrey Watson.

Watson was arrested in November after guests checking into the $2,500-a-night suite at the Omni William Penn Hotel saw him sleeping on a couch and notified hotel staff. Police said Watson told them that he had been in the city for more than a month and slept wherever he could find “somewhere com-fortable.”

Mike Manko, spokesman for the Allegheny County district attorney’s office, said he did not know why the charges had been withdrawn. Hotel officials did not return a call seeking comment.

WORLDBRIEFS

Wednesday, Sept. 24CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS

DATE: Kevin Sorbo, 55; Robert Irvine, 49; Ross Matthews, 34

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There seems to have been a conflict between your career and having fun. Today will highlight a proper balance and healing can begin to be resolved. Your dialogue with others should be positive, if not, re-check your current situation. You should be extremely grateful now.

You will welcome in new ways of self-expression, and this will trigger deep heal-ing to manifest for you. Through under-

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today will mark a time when your personal ex-pression will be geared towards actively explaining your value — either in financial terms or your personal worth. You will not mind doing the explaining, but if oth-

You will finally start to feel grounded within your own skin and will joyfully take ac-tion towards the desired out-come you want with family and within your local environ-ment now. Daily life will start to be in harmony.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The start will happen for you on a deeper level than most. You will find a need to understand where you

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There will be a new start with friends, anything that has troubled you on a soul level will start to heal and you will find harmony. Your career and aspirations will take a turn for the better as well. Expect the ultimate truth to come out about your personal value now!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): After a long period of time working away at building your career as you want it, there will be some recognition and it is paying off starting now. Take the time to fully un-derstand your goals and objectives, and keep up the extra work you are putting in behind the scenes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As you have been going through each fear that has been on your mind, one at a time, this powerful new start will have you eliminat-ing most of them. Healing will begin as you place a tremendous amount of value on yourself for getting through all the trials you have.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are very happy to put in a lot of energy towards your career, but now there will be an amazing start working with oth-ers. Your dreams and aspirations for this world are one step away from actualizing. You will be able to see and feel this with the New Moon.

Counselling helps people determine what they

want and how to get thereDear Annie: I notice that often the ad-

vice you offer is to “get counselling.”But what happens in counselling? Can you explain how it helps? — L.Dear L.: The point of coun-

selling or therapy is to help you determine what it is you want to accomplish and how to get there.

This could be a career goal, a marital dispute, a problem with family members or any-thing that is causing difficulty for you and that you cannot re-solve on your own.

A good counsellor/therapist will help you set appropriate goals and work with you to achieve them.

Counselors (e.g. psycholo-gists, licensed social workers) are generally well trained and licensed.

Therapists (e.g. psychiatrists and psychoanalysts) usually have addi-tional training and can prescribe medica-tion.

When choosing someone to see, we rec-ommend getting a referral through your physician, a friend or relative, or an ac-credited licensing association. There are a number of professional organizations that can help you.

It may help to find one who specializes in your particular problem.

Not all counsellors will be a good match, and it may require a session or two before you decide whether you are com-fortable with this person or need to find someone else.

When you first see the counsellor/ther-apist, you may be asked what you wish to accomplish or what you want to work on. Some problems can be resolved in a few sessions, but more complicated ones can take longer.

It is important that you be totally hon-est with the counsellor, as anything else is a waste of your time and money.

And if the counsellor makes sugges-tions, do the work.

Nothing will change if you don’t make the effort.

Dear Annie: Our daughter is getting married soon.

We have paid for all the usual servic-es at a wedding, but we have a question about the photographer and the disc jock-ey.

Both of these people own their busi-

nesses. These owners will be the ones provid-

ing the services at the wedding, with no other employees present.

Some people say we should tip them for their time and ser-vices.

We feel that since they own their businesses, their profit includes their tip.

Right or wrong? — To Tip or Not To Tip

Dear Tip: You do not need to tip the owners of the photog-raphy studio or the disc jockey who is self-employed.

They don’t expect to be tipped.

However, should they go above and beyond what you hired them for, you may wish to add a gratuity as a way of saying “thanks.”

Dear Annie: The letter from “Very Blessed, But Hurt” expressed be-wilderment that she was not named in her mother-in-law’s will, despite she and her mother-in-law having a close and wonder-ful relationship.

I’m a retired lawyer who wrote many wills over the years.

I hope this dear lady listens to your ad-vice that she should not feel slighted.

Her mother-in-law’s will sounds pretty standard to me.

The testatrix leaves her estate to her son and, should her son not survive her, then to the son’s children.

Most wills that I wrote went along those same lines.

Perhaps “Blessed” herself comes from a family in which testators name everyone they love, but my own experience is that such a tradition would be far from the norm.

Many people, when planning the dis-posal of their estates, work hard not to let emotions impinge on what they view as a simple business transaction, and they bequeath scrupulously equal amounts to both the faithful, favourite child and the black sheep who disowned the family de-cades ago. — Voice of Experience

TV reporter quits on air

ANCHORAGE, Alas-ka — A reporter for an Alaska TV station re-vealed on the air that she owns a medical mar-ijuana business and was quitting her job to advo-cate for the drug. After reporting on the Alaska Cannabis Club on Sun-day night’s broadcast, KTVA’s Charlo Greene identified herself as the business’s owner and said she would be devoting all her energy to fighting for “freedom and fairness.” She then used an expletive to quit her job, and walked off-camera. Alaska voters decide Nov. 4 whether to legalize recreational pot.
