It wasn’t too long ago that retired Lacombe teacher Jeanette Van Hyfte struggled to draw stick figures.

As a drama teacher she was always immersed in art and culture but it was only until Van Hyfte retired that she had time to fo-cus on channelling her inner artist.Van Hyfte knew she had found her niche after wit-nessing a zentangle demonstration. She was drawn to the simplistic and meditative art.

Zentangle is a form of line art that combines patterns to form intricate, free form pictures.

Van Hyfte, 67, learned the craft through books and online programs about five years ago.

“You don’t have to be artistic,” she said.

“You learn the patterns and go from there. Anyone can do it.”

Van Hyfte showcased her creations and guided others as they tried their hands at the line art at the Alberta Culture Days 2014 celebrations on Ross

Street in Red Deer on Saturday. There was something for everyone

in Red Deer with pop-up art galleries, performance art, films, dance, heritage

displays, musical e n t e r t a i n m e n t filling various lo-cations.

Artist Marga-ret Roome said culture days is a good opportunity to showcase the talent in Red Deer and for others to

be exposed to new art and culture. “And appreciate what people are

doing,” she said. “You get to see things that you nor-

mally would not be in contact with.” Painter and chalk artist Laura Lind

said it is wonderful to see different art forms and cultures come together and showcase Alberta and Canadian life.

“Even if you are not interested in art people will come down and see the creativity and say, ‘oh I could never do that,” said Lind.

“But they can be a part of it.”

Retired Red Deer RCMP officer Pe-ter Quilty has no regrets or complaints.

He has put the bad guys away in three provinces in Canada, worked on the Musical Ride and helped indict three Indonesian officials on 37 counts of crimes against humanity in East Timor.

It’s fair to say the city’s recently-retired RCMP Operations NCO has had quite the career in his 35 plus years, of which nearly seven were spent in Red Deer.

And the most recent accolade came on Sept.9 when Quilty was awarded the Order of Merit of the Police Forces from Gov. Gen. David Johnston at Ride-au Hall in Ottawa.

The award is given out to Canadian Police Services men and women who demonstrate leadership and excep-tional service and commitment to the country.

“I was obviously surprised,” said Quilty, 57. “It’s a rather humbling ex-perience you might say because you don’t expect it. You just do your job. It was nice to have my efforts and my job performance over the years recognized and acknowledged in such a high re-gard. It was a really nice feeling.”

Quilty retired on July 24 from a ca-reer, he says, where he was fortunate to have worked with some fine people over the years. He said he is proud to have worked for the RCMP which is a Canadian institution that is recognized and respected around the world.

“Policing for me was a journey of developing strong/lasting relationships and partnerships with people and com-munity groups,” he said.

“I joined the RCMP to solve crime, hold people accountable for their ac-tions and be a positive influence in

trying to make and improve upon the

safety of the communities I served.”

Ottawa-born Quilty became inter-

ested in public service watching his

mother work for security for the RC-

MP Security Service for more than 30

years.

He also was drawn to the field

because of his cub and boy scout

master who was a RCMP officer.

After joining the RCMP in 1978, Quilty

worked in Nova Scotia and Ottawa be-

fore he left for Alberta where he would

spent the bulk of his career in 1984.

Putting the brakes on Michener Centre’s closure has not quieted calls for an inquiry into the deaths of five residents who died after moving out of the facility.

All five died this spring and sum-mer within two to four months of leav-ing Michener following the province’s decision to close the facility by the end of the year. In March 2013, the govern-ment headed by former premier Ali-son Redford announced the closure. A week ago, Premier Jim Prentice re-versed that decision, and 46 residents who have already moved out, and those who were waiting for new homes, can also return or stay.

Cliff Culbert, whose brother Orville was one of the five who died, said he is glad the closure was stopped. The residents who are still alive, and their families, are winners.

“Those five people can’t come back,” said Culbert, of Hodgeville, Sask.

Orville lived at Michener for about 37 years and was moved to Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre.

Culbert said he didn’t want his brother moved, but felt pressured by Alberta Human Services.

CULTURE: Extremely important

Annette Scheper, the city’s community and pro-gram facilitator for special events, said culture and art is extremely important in life.

“It’s one of the things that give us a reason to live,” she said. “If all we were doing was basically going to work and eating basic meals, that would be a boring life. Art enhances our lives. It gives us a form of com-munication whether it is verbal (or physical as in dance or drawing), it is a form of communication. It is essential. It is a form of communication that any-one can tap into.”

MICHENER: Were like family

“It’s all well and good that the government changed their mind (but) why did they change it? Is that like admitting it was wrong the way they did it, in such a bullying manner? I believe so.”He said Michener was his brother’s home, and the people there were like family.

“He would consider those people more his fam-ily almost than his brothers and sisters because we got to see him on weekends every once and awhile. Those people, he lived with day in and day out.”

Lee Kvern, who refused to move her sister out of Michener where she has lived for 42 years, said it was so important that the public found out about the deaths. The government sure wasn’t talking about them.

“Where’s the accountability, and where’s your responsibility to at least stop what you’re doing and investigate and see what’s going on,” Kvern said.

Bruce Uditsky, Alberta Association for Commu-nity Living CEO, who is a staunch critic of institu-tionalization and has argued in favour of the closure of Michener, even agreed there should be some sort of investigation into the deaths.

“I think there should at least be a review and a transparent explanation to reassure people. If some-

thing wasn’t done correctly, we need to be assured it is done correctly in the future and that one’s life shouldn’t be at stake because an institution is being closed,” Uditsky said.

As for Prentice’s decision to keep Michener open, Uditsky said it failed to address all the other Alber-tans living with disabilities.

“He made a decision relative to a few, and I would want assurances now that every family in this prov-ince actually is going to have whatever choice they make respected and adequately funded.”

He said the AACL will be requesting a meeting with the premier. More funding is needed for sup-port workers in the community as they are paid less than government staff. Income supports to the

disabled are not enough and forces them to live in group homes rather than living more independently.

“The AACL thinks we should be moving away from group homes and moving towards people living together in smaller numbers and in places that are much more like where the rest of us choose to live. There’s nothing about a disability that says you can’t live in a condo or townhouse or apartment or bunga-low or duplex.”

Uditsky said group living arrangements are be-coming outdated and the group homes being built for people who were moving out of Michener were more appropriate for the deinstitutionalization process.

Ten agencies in Central Alberta received funding to create 51 new spaces for the Michener transition, at a budgeted cost of about $10 million.

Parkland Community Living and Support Services was one of those agencies and CEO Phil Stephan said nine Michener residents moved into three of the group homes Parkland built. He was not aware of any who were returning to Michener.

Another three wheelchair accessible group homes are to be finished this month or next month.

“Whether it’s going to be used for folks who are leaving Michener Centre, or whether it’s used by folks who exist in the community and are moving into service, the investment on the part of the provin-cial government was very wise and prudent. There’s clearly no downside,” Stephan said.

MERIT: Strong investigation skills

He worked in Redwater before transferring to Slave Lake where he spent 10 years. In 2002, Quilty served on a nine month United Nations peacekeep-ing mission in Dili, East Timor, one of the many high-lights of his career.

Because of his strong investigation skills and experience he was assigned to the Serious Crimes Unit where he investigated crimes against humanity including murder, torture, forced deportation and destruction of property.

“I worked closely with other members of the other police agencies from Australia, England, Spain and the United States,” he said. “I had great success in that mission by having three Indonesian officials in-dicted on 37 counts of crimes against humanity.”

Other highlights include working the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, meeting the queen in June 1991 at Spruce Meadows, receiving the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2013 and working front-line polic-ing in small towns for most of his career.

OTTAWA — Police in Ottawa are mourning the death of one of their own after an officer was found dead inside the police headquarters building.

Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau issued a statement Sunday, identifying the officer as Staff Sgt. Kalid (Kal) Ghadban, 43.

Bordeleau said the 22-year veteran was a well-respected and well-loved member of the city’s police service.

The statement from Bordeleau said Ghadban “succumbed to injuries” Sunday afternoon after an “incident” at the police station.

Ontario’s police watchdog has been called in.The Special Investigations Unit is automatically

brought in when someone dies as a result of police actions.

The statement said more information would be released when it was available.

The thoughts and prayers of those at the Ottawa Police Service are with Ghadban’s family, Bordeleau said.

“Those who have worked with him know him as an excellent example of a hard-working, dedicated offi-cer who loved his job,” he said in the statement.

“The news of his death pains us all.”

MONTREAL — A researcher mon-itoring belugas in the St. Lawrence estuary is warning of a looming “catas-trophe” after another difficult calving season for the endangered whale.

The belugas have been in a slow population decline for the past de-cade, according to Robert Michaud, the scientific director of Quebec’s Ma-rine Mammals Research and Educa-tion Group.

His team has found the carcasses of at least five baby belugas so far dur-ing the calving period, which officially ends on Oct. 15. The number of dead beluga calves turning up on the shore has been unusually high since 2008, Michaud said.

“It’s a catastrophic trajectory we’re observing, and we don’t yet know ex-actly what are the causes for that,” he said.

“The only way this population can reverse its trajectory would be to in-crease the survival rate and the birth rate, and what we’ve been observing for the last years is totally the oppo-site.”

If the population is to recover, Mi-chaud said there must be a concerted effort to reduce the sources of stress on the animals, particularly in areas frequented by beluga mothers and their calves.

The latest figures on beluga calves come amid a debate over whether to allow exploratory drilling off shore of Cacouna, Que., near the breeding ground at the mouth of the St. Law-rence.

A judge suspended drilling for the

TransCanada oil terminal last Tuesday following objections from environmen-tal groups.

The marine terminal would allow the company to export oil transported from the Alberta oilsands as part of its Energy East pipeline project, which has been submitted to the National Energy Board.

TransCanada has argued it had all the proper permits and was sensitive to the belugas in the area.

Michaud is among those opposed to the oil terminal.

He said its construction, along with “all the phases that are preliminary to the construction, and then afterward the exploitation of such an activity,” could be detrimental to the whales.

Researchers don’t have an exact count on the number of belugas in the St. Lawrence estuary, but the popu-lation was estimated at 889 in 2012, according to a recent Fisheries and Oceans Canada report.

The population was stable or in-creasing at a slow rate after unregu-lated hunting closed in 1979 until the early 2000s, when it reached approxi-mately 1,000, but it has declined in the years since, the report said.

The worst year for dead calves was 2012, when 16 were found dead, said Stephane Lair, a veterinary professor at the University of Montreal who has conducted autopsies on the carcasses.

Whales were found to be dying of cancer at an unusually high rate in recent years as well, in a study con-ducted by Lair.

Lair said it’s difficult to know the exact cause of the calves’ deaths, but

the findings are troubling.“What we think is that either the

calf is too weak to follow the mother, or there is a bonding problem between the calf and mother,” Lair said.

OTTAWA — The Prime Minister’s Office is defending a decision to give a European Union delegation a free plane flight home last week at a cost that one media report estimated at more than $300,000.

Jason MacDonald says a Canadian Forces Airbus was offered as a cour-tesy to ensure “that no elements” of Friday’s Canada-EU summit were cut short.

Two top European Union leaders, Herman Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso, were in Ottawa where they signed a Canada-EU free-trade agree-ment.

The CBC is reporting that adding a Toronto reception to the visit would have made it impossible for the EU delegation to catch a commercial flight from Ottawa and make it to a Saturday meeting in Brussels.

The CBC says Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper authorized the use of the Airbus that he normally uses on for-eign trips.

Sunday’s CBC report estimated the cost of the flight to be in the neigh-bourhood of $338,055, basing its cal-culations on government figures from 2012 on the estimated hourly cost to operate the aircraft.

An initial email response from Mac-Donald did not contest the CBC’s cost estimate, instead touting the benefits of the trade deal and the summit.

“Friday’s Summit allowed busi-ness leaders to meet and discuss the opportunities the Canada-Europe Free Trade Agreement present,” the email said. “The Airbus was offered as a courtesy to our European Union guests.”

Harper has touted the trade deal as a major achievement for his gov-ernment, which faces an election next year.

Last year he flew to Brussels with great fanfare for a signing ceremony on an agreement in principle.

Concerns were raised last week that some EU members might try to scuttle the deal, but Van Rompuy, the Euro-pean Council President and Barroso, the European Commission President, both joined Harper in dismissing any suggestion the deal faced any signifi-cant difficulties.

It must still be approved by all 28 EU members and the Canadian prov-inces.

EU TRADE DEAL


The trial in one of Canada’s most publicized and shocking criminal cases is set to begin Monday with evi-dence being heard in the proceedings against alleged murderer Luka Rocco Magnotta.

Magnotta, 32, has pleaded not guilty to five charges in connection with the slaying and dismemberment of Chi-nese engineering student Jun Lin in May 2012.

The charges are first-degree mur-der; committing an indignity to a body; publishing obscene material; crimi-nally harassing Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper and other members of Parliament; and mailing obscene and indecent material.

Trial judge Guy Cournoyer ques-tioned potential jurors earlier this month about whether they could stomach evidence that could be consid-ered gruesome, graphic and pos-sibly upsetting.

The 14 bilingual jurors who will hear the case will receive instructions from Cournoyer before prosecutor Louis Bouthillier begins presenting the Crown’s arguments.

The investigation was launched after the discovery of a human torso stuffed in trash behind a Montreal apartment building in May 2012.

Body parts then began surfacing in different parts of Canada — first at a federal political office in Ottawa and, later, at two British Columbia schools.

A video that purportedly depicted a slaying was posted online around the same time and was linked by Montre-al police to the discovery of the body parts.

As the investigation progressed, Magnotta was discovered to have left the country, triggering an international police manhunt that Montreal police said was the largest in which they had taken part. Interpol became involved and Magnotta was arrested without incident at a Berlin Internet cafe on June 4, several days after Lin’s slaying.

He returned to Canada a few weeks later, escorted by several Montreal po-lice major-crimes detectives aboard a Canadian government plane.

Bouthillier has said up to 60 Crown witnesses could be heard at the tri-al, which is expected to last between six and eight weeks. Some Europeans could be called to testify.

The process of selecting the jury took eight days, with the court vetting about 1,600 people called to serve. That group was narrowed down to 16 people.

Two will be dismissed when the tri-al begins and two of the remaining 14 will be discharged before delibera-tions.

The trial will take place primarily in English, although some parts are expected to be in French.

Magnotta will be represented by Toronto-based attorney Luc Leclair. The lawyer told reporters he was seek-ing jurors who were open-minded and intelligent and willing to listen to the case.

“He’s (Magnotta) been waiting a long time, I’ve been waiting a long time, we’ve been waiting a long time,” Le-clair said on the first day of the jury selection process.

“There was a time that we never thought this day would come.”

Magnotta is a native of Scarborough, Ont., who, according to police, set up dozens of Internet user names and maintained 70 Facebook pages and 20 websites.

The trial is likely to lure plenty of curious onlookers. During the prelimi-nary hearing, the case attracted crimi-nology students, legal junkies and even a handful of people who appeared to support Magnotta.

Proceedings will be heard in a special court-room equipped with numerous screens and a large metal-and-glass enclosure behind which Magnotta will sit.

But seating is limited: five spots will be set aside for media and five others for the public. A few other seats are reserved for Lin’s family, including his father Diran, who is in Canada for the trial. The trial will otherwise be broadcast to an overflow room on a dif-ferent floor.

Diran Lin has attended several days of proceedings since the case began and has said he hopes to see justice for his son.

Jun Lin, 33, was born in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. He had only been living in Canada since 2011, real-izing a long-standing dream by coming to Montreal.

His family said in April 2013 that Lin had a comfortable life working in IT at Microsoft’s Beijing office, but had sought a move to Canada to study and to improve his life.

At the time of his death, Lin was enrolled as a computer engineering student at Concordia University and worked as a part-time convenience store clerk in south-central Montreal.

The 16 people selected as jurors and alternate jurors are:

1: Woman, auto parts analyst2: Woman, assistant manager in a

telecommunications firm3: Man, works for a cleaning com-

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. Nooooo, it’s Super Social Media! — the crime-fighting hero cracking down on sto-len vehicles in Red Deer. And fighting crime a r o u n d t h e world.

A new Face-book page, Red Deer Stolen Vehicles, has joined the In-ternet detective forces spring-ing up across North America to catch the bad guys. And it’s getting results, according to a recent account in the Advocate.

Take resident Lana Bridges for example. Her husband’s Ford F-350 pickup went missing from behind their Deer Park home.

The theft and photo of the vehicle were posted on the Facebook page. A week later, Bridges gets a phone call from a Blackfalds resident who twigged onto the crime-fighting page and said “she was sure that truck was sitting in front of her Blackfalds

house,” the Advocate reported.Case solved — it was the stolen

truck. “It was social media that found our vehicle,” said Bridges. Her niece had earlier suggested she post the theft on the Facebook page.

On Sept. 5, a Mountview resident posted the theft of two vehicles. Case solved again, according to a Sept. 11 posting over the site.

Started in March, the page has evolved into the place to go for vic-tims of vehicle thefts — a crime rank-ing high in statistics, according to Red Deer RCMP. Police reported a whop-ping 600 thefts or attempted thefts of trucks, cars, SUVs and minivans dur-ing the first eight months of this year in the city.

While Superman can fly faster than a speeding bullet, criminal activity posted on the Internet is instant. This high-tech super-sleuth is increasingly being used around the globe to crack cases of all proportions — from vehicle thefts, to murders, to sophisticated ter-rorist activities.

CNN reports that Facebook is the most fruitful social network for law en-forcement, followed by YouTube.

“Leveraging Facebook is just one of many ways law enforcement officials are gleaning evidence from social me-dia to help them solve crimes,” says

CNN in a special report.In the United States, for example,

these techniques are slowly catching on, according to a survey by LexisN-exis Risk Solutions, an arm of the U.S. LexisNexis Group, which provides computer-assisted legal research.

The recent survey of 1,221 federal, state and local law enforcement who use social media “four out of five of-ficials used social media to gather in-telligence during investigations. Half said they checked social media at least once a week, and the majority said social media helps them solve crimes faster.”

While it doesn’t take much brain power to access the Internet, the down-fall of many not-so-bright crooks is that they love to boast about their crimes online.

They don’t seem to realize this tech-nology is plugged into the entire world, for all to see. Prime candidates for a sequel to the 1994 comedy Dumb & Dumber, these egotistical, unsophis-ticated idiots are “a boon” to police, CNN reports.

Cincinnati police, among the pio-neers in the U.S. to tap into the In-ternet as an investigative tool, “soon discovered criminals were using social networks to blab about crimes they were plotting, set up drug deals, brag

about wrongdoings and even upload incriminating videos.”

In one 2008 case, CNN reported, “Ronnie Tienda Jr. was convicted of a gang-related murder in Texas based largely on incriminating words and photos he had posted publicly on his MySpace pages.”

Facebook is also used by police working undercover in Canada and the U.S. to flush out sex offenders and pe-dophiles. Setting up a fake site posing as a young girl or boy, the cops arrange covert meetings with unsuspecting sus-pects.

Facebook, where almost nine per cent of accounts are believed to be fakes, is not pleased with these sting operations.

“It just undermines the integrity of our whole service if we allow people to use false accounts,” said Joe Sulli-van, Facebook’s chief security officer, adding that creating a fake profile is against Facebook’s terms of service — even for police.

But the practice is not illegal and evidence obtained will hold up in court. And these fake Facebook ac-counts are being used by real sex of-fenders, lurking in the popular social media venues looking for victims.

Social media busts crime

As an elder, I’ve watched Canada and the world change in many ways, for better and worse. Thanks in part to cheap energy and technological growth, the hu-man population has more than tripled, from 2.2 billion in 1936 when I was born to about seven billion today. As a boy, I could drink from streams and lakes without worrying about getting sick. My father took me fishing for halibut, sturgeon and salmon on the Vancouver waterfront. Pretty much all food was organic.

Although my parents were born and raised in Canada, our family was incarcerated in the B.C. Interior during the Second World War. Like other people of colour, my parents didn’t have the right to vote until 1948. First Nations people living on reserves didn’t have voting rights until 1960. And, until 1969, homosexuality was a criminal offence, often lead-ing to prison — now same-sex couples in Canada can marry. Without a health-care system, my parents had to worry far more about illness than Canadians today.

Although we’ve degraded our natural environ-ment since my childhood, we’ve made great strides in human rights and social programs. But those ad-vances didn’t come without struggle. It’s important to protect and improve the hard-won rights and social safety net that make Canada one of the best coun-

tries for citizens and visitors alike — but it’s crucial to protect the natural systems that make it all pos-sible.

We’re too often asked to choose between a healthy environment and a healthy economy, between health care and environmental protection. But these are false choices.

Long-term prosperity and good health absolutely depend on conserving and using our resources wise-ly and on ensuring our air is pure enough to breathe, our water clean enough to drink and our food nutri-tious and plentiful enough to keep us healthy and alive. Protecting the environment is good for human and economic health!

Consider water. We can’t survive without it. Most Canadians take our abundant fresh water for grant-ed. But according to the recent Ecojustice report Wa-terproof: Standards, “Canada’s drinking water stan-dards continue to lag behind international bench-marks and are at risk of falling even farther behind.” At any time, more than 1,000 drinking water adviso-ries are in effect across the country, many in First Nations communities.

Canada doesn’t even have a national water policy. Nor do we have legally binding national air quality standards.

People died in Walkerton, Ont., because of E. coli in the water. Grassy Narrows residents are being poisoned by waterborne mercury. Toxins in the air and water are affecting people’s health in Sarnia’s Chemical Valley, as are a deadly mix of oilsands chemicals in Fort Chipewyan.

This is clearly unacceptable in prosperous, re-source-rich Canada. So how do we ensure that all Ca-nadians have the right to enjoy clean air and water

and healthy food?We could follow the lead of more than half the

world’s nations and enshrine the right to a healthy environment in our Constitution’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

That’s one of the goals of the Blue Dot Tour I’ve embarked on with the David Suzuki Foundation and friends, supporters and, I hope, you. It’s a testament to the importance of this tour and the movement it intends to spark that so many musicians, artists and thinkers have volunteered their time to get the word out, including Shane Koyczan, Neil Young, Tanya Tagaq, Feist, Blue Rodeo members, Margaret Atwood, Hey Ocean, Bruce Cockburn, Joel Plaskett, Roy Henry Vickers, Whitehorse, Barenaked Ladies, Danny Michel, Kinnie Starr, Stephen Lewis, Ovide Mercredi and many more.

The events, in 20 cities across Canada, promise to be fun and entertaining, but there’s a serious pur-pose: To start a national conversation and movement to make sure we all look after this land that gives us so much.

History shows that informed individuals who come together to build a groundswell of opinion and pressure are a powerful force for positive change. We hope this tour will inspire Canadians to take ac-tion in their communities, that those communities will in turn inspire provinces to get on board and that ultimately, our right to a healthy environment will be recognized at the national level.

It’s a long road, but together, we can get there. Are you in?

Blue Dot Movement rolls across Canada

Five injured after possible explosion in Montreal

apartment buildingMONTREAL — Authorities say five

people are injured, two of them criti-cally, after a possible explosion in an apartment building in Montreal Sun-day.

Paramedics say the two severely in-jured people had burns on roughly 80 per cent of their bodies but no impact wounds, which are typical in explo-sions. A firefighter suffered minor in-juries.

Roughly 100 firefighters were on scene, as well as police and paramed-ics.

Firefighters say a preliminary in-vestigation indicates there was an ex-plosion near a ground-floor staircase.

Police have cordoned off the area and experts are examining the build-ing — which holds about 50 units — to determine whether it’s stable.

Police say there’s no evidence at this time of any foul play.

Six people taken to hospital with injuries after deck

collapses in HalifaxHALIFAX — A third-storey deck

collapsed in Halifax’s south end early Saturday during a party, leaving five people seriously injured, police said.

Officers were called to a house with three apartments on Brussels Street around 1:45 a.m. after a wooden third-storey deck suddenly collapsed onto a second-storey deck, Sgt. Nancy Rud-back said.

Rudback said several people were on the top deck at the time and there were also several people on the bot-tom deck.

“There was a social event at the res-idence, a party, and there were people on both decks,” she said.

Investigators said six people — four women and two men in their early 20s — were taken to hospital.

Five were taken from the scene by ambulance with serious injuries and one went to hospital a few hours later, said Rudback.

Rudback said most of the injured people were on the bottom deck at the time of the collapse.

On Saturday after-noon, the third-story deck stood upright on its side in the driveway next to the home. It appeared the deck was only attached to the home at one side.

The fencing on the lower deck was damaged, but otherwise appeared intact.

There were remnants of a party strewn around the yard. A keg sat on its side on the driveway, sur-rounded by red plastic cups.

A few young men who said they lived in the res-idence declined to com-ment, but said they were shaken up.

Rudback said the home’s owner is being interviewed and a city building inspector will investigate.

“We would be dealing with criminal negligence if that’s what the (inspec-tor) found, but we’re so early in looking at it that it would be hard to say which course it will take at this point,” she said.

National memorial pays tribute to

five peace officers killed while on

dutyOTTAWA — Three

Mounties killed in a shooting rampage in New Brunswick were remem-bered today in Ottawa, along with a Toronto po-lice constable and a Sas-katchewan conservation officer who also died in the line of duty.

Hundreds of police and peace officers from across Canada and as far away the U.K. honoured the five slain officers at a memorial held annual-ly for those killed while keeping the country and Canadians safe.

Constables Douglas Larche, Dave Ross and Fabrice Gevaudan were killed and two other RC-MP officers were injured on June 4 in Moncton.

Justin Bourque, 24, has since been found guilty of three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted mur-der in connection with the shootings although he has yet to be sentenced.

Toronto police Const. John Zivicic died last No-vember after his cruiser was involved in a colli-sion.

Saskatchewan con-servation officer Justin

Knackstedt was killed after being hit by an SUV while he was directing traf-fic at the scene of a crash in May 2013 near Saskatoon.

Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney told the memorial the officers represented all of those who protect citizens and communities from people who threaten their safety and security.

Fifteen-year prison sentence for Canadian held in Cuba is

’outrageous’: MPA Toronto-area MP says a local

businessman sentenced in Cuba to 15 years in prison should be sent back to Canada. Peter Kent says Cy Tok-makjian could be expelled from the Caribbean country or transferred to a Canadian facility instead of serving out his sentence there. Tokmakjian, 74, was convicted Friday on corruption-related charges that Cuban officials call part of a widespread campaign against graft. The owner of the Ontario-based automotive company Tokmakji-an Group was held for more than two years before being tried in June.

Kent, whose Thornhill riding in-cludes the company’s headquarters, says the sentence is “outrageous,” but not entirely unexpected.

He says Tokmakjian’s case is “a very strong reminder that international in-vestors should beware” when dealing with Cuba.

Spy watchdog’s past oil ties spark concerns in civil

liberties complaint caseOTTAWA — A civil liberties group

is objecting to the national spy watch-dog assigning Yves Fortier to investi-gate alleged spying on environmental activists, citing a conflict due to his former petroleum industry ties.

The British Columbia Civil Liber-ties Association’s lawyer has written to the Security Intelligence Review Committee asking that Fortier recuse himself from the matter.

The association says Fortier once sat on the board of TransCanada Pipe-lines — the company behind the Key-stone XL project. Fortier, one of three review committee members, was re-cently appointed to lead an investiga-

tion into the association’s complaint that the Canadian Security Intelli-gence Service gathered and shared information about activists opposed to Canada’s energy policies.

The association filed the complaint

with the review committee in Febru-ary after media reports suggested that CSIS and other government agencies consider protests and opposition to the petroleum industry as possible threats to national security.

TORONTO — More than three years after the crash of a military helicopter forced a halt to one of Canada’s final combat missions in Afghanistan, inves-tigators say they are nearing the end of their probe into what went wrong but still can’t say when they will reveal the results.

A report on the crash of the Chinook in May 2011 remains conspicuous by its absence given that information is readily available on 20 more recent incidents involving Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft. About half of those investigations are complete.

The lack of any word on the Chinook incident has not gone unnoticed by some who were aboard.

“It will be very helpful for under-standing what happened,” one soldier said.

“I still question myself about it.”The soldier, one of about two doz-

en Canadian Forces personnel on the flight to a remote area of Panjwaii dis-trict in southern Kandahar province, requested anonymity given his posi-tion in the military.

The chief investigator for the De-partment of National Defence flight safety directorate said this past week the investigation was “ongoing” but “near the end,” although he could not

say when it would conclude.A draft report had been sent to “per-

sons with direct interest” to comment on the accuracy and completeness of the investigation, Lt.-Col. Martin Leb-lanc said in an email.

“After which, we’ll be working the final copy of the investigation report considering all the...comments we’ll have received,” Leblanc said.

The incident occurred as the pilot attempted to land the packed helicop-ter by moonlight in a dusty area. The chopper — one of two ferrying troops to the mission — hit the ground hard, made a “horrifying” sound as it rolled onto its side, and pitched soldiers and equipment around the interior.

Some soldiers and a reporter were initially trapped as the smell of fuel filled the cabin, but there was no fire and everyone was able to get out safe-ly.

The Chinook, which cost about $45 million, was essentially destroyed.

An unpublicized occurrence report obtained by The Canadian Press last year said there were no injuries. How-ever, one man’s piercing screams filled the air the night of the crash, and a few soldiers were flown to a military hos-pital in Germany, a Canadian Forces spokeswoman told the news agency.

Still no report 3 years after military chopper crash

AFGHANISTAN


OTTAWA — A Russian-flagged ves-sel played a key role in Canada’s re-cent discovery of a sunken ship from the missing Franklin expedition, a sce-nario that faced a regulatory challenge and gave senior Conservative officials pause. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has billed the Franklin search as an expression of Canadian sovereignty in the North — particularly in light of the “imperial ambitions” of Russian Presi-dent Vladimir Putin. The mapping and surveying activities that are part of the search are also considered a sign of domestic prowess in the Arctic.

A Russian-owned ship became part of the multi-partner Victoria Strait Expedition after it became apparent that the Canadian alternative, a for-mer coast guard icebreaker, couldn’t carry the private financial donors un-derwriting part of the search.

The Akademik Sergey Vavilov, crewed by the Russian Academy of Sciences, was chartered and operated by British Columbia-based One Ocean Expeditions. The firm regularly uses Russian-flagged ships to run its tours into the Arctic.

The Royal Canadian Geographical Society helped put together a team that included One Ocean and other corporate sponsors to partner with the federal government in its search for the Franklin ships, lost in the Arctic around 1845. The Akademik Sergey Vavilov was to serve as a platform for the federal government’s state-of-the-art underwater survey vehicle.

By offering donors a chance to ride along, the non-profit geographical soci-ety was able to help pay for the expen-sive charter and also fund a range of educational work across the country.

But when the details of the search partnership emerged, not everyone celebrated the arrangement.

Calgary-based GX Technology, which owns the ship Polar Prince, ob-jected to the use of the Russian-flagged vessel with the Canadian Transporta-tion Agency. The agency was certifying the temporary importation of the for-eign ship. Ray Pierce, an arctic opera-tions expert with GX and formerly of the Canadian Coast Guard, was critical of how the expedition itself was put together.

In the context of a multi-million search for the sunken Franklin ships, using the Polar Prince would not have made a significant budgetary differ-ence, he argued. The Polar Prince is not certified to bring tourist-type pas-sengers.

“We would have appreciated if there had been more openness in the early planning stages to permit that kind of dialogue and possible partici-pation,” said Pierce, also former com-manding officer of the Polar Prince.

“At the end of the day, even though we weren’t taking part in it, we were very glad that such research projects are taking place and that work is being done in the Canadian North.”

At the time, Harper was amping up his rhetoric and sanctions against Pu-tin and his government, specifically with regard to Russia’s annexation of the Crimean region of Ukraine.

Part of entrance path to McKenzie trail closed

About 300 metres of the entrance path of McKen-zie Trail will close for work starting today.

Users of the popular Red Deer park will still be able to use the trail systems via the McKenzie Trails Recreation Area access road (off of 45th Street).

The berm reconstruction in the McKenzie Trails Recreation Area is expected to last until the end of October. The work is designed to extend and height-en the existing berm.

There will be no road closures or detours because of this work, however residents along 45th Avenue will notice an increase in construction vehicles.

Notre Dame grad earns major scholarship

Bennett Bolen, a graduate of Ecole Secondaire Notre Dame High School in Red Deer has received a major scholarship from the University of Alberta.

He was recognized recently at a university cer-emony, where he received a Chancellor’s Entrance Citation Scholarship, worth $15,000 over four years. He will use it to study in the U of A’s Faculty of Engi-

neering.The scholarship is of-

fered to outstanding stu-dents who have an average of 95 per cent throughout high school and are begin-ning their first undergrad-uate degrees at the univer-sity.

Senior administrators at high schools and post-sec-ondary institutions across Canada nominate students for the award.

As part of the applica-tion process, students must also write a personal essay and provide an academic reference.

Sentence passed on former RCMP member

Sentence has been passed on a former member of the Mascwacis RCMP, convicted earlier this year of assaulting a suspect while he was serving there.

Ronald Craig Lavallee, 35, was found guilty of as-sault causing bodily harm in Wetaskiwin Court of Queen’s Bench during a trial in March.

Charges were laid in 2012 by Maskwacis RCMP in-vestigating a complaint by a person who alleged that excessive force had been used during an arrest.

Justice Monica Bast announced on May 7 that she had found Lavallee guilty of the charge and returned with her sentence on Thursday, ordering that he serve 60 days in prison followed by two years on pro-

bation.Lavallee still faces a second trial from an unrelat-

ed incident, scheduled to open in Wetaskiwin Court of Queen’s Bench on Oct. 27.

Trail for suspect in hostage taking, vehicle rampage set for next spring

The suspect in a violent hostage taking and vehic-ular rampage in Red Deer more than a year ago will stand trial next spring.

Ponoka resident Joseph Paul Donovan, 35, plead-ed not guilty earlier this month on numerous charges laid in connection with a series of incidents on July 31, 2013.

Red Deer City RCMP alleged at the time that a suspect had taken a hostage into a vehicle, and then struck two pedestrians, three vehicles and a fence during a span of about 20 minutes.

Crown prosecutors and defence counsel Michael Scrase have made numerous applications since that time concerning Donovan’s mental status at the time of the offences. Scrase and his client entered a plea of not guilty in Red Deer provincial court on Sept. 10.

Released from custody about two weeks after his arrest, Donovan is to stand trial on May 20.

Correction

A total of 14,000 tickets will be up for grabs for the 2014 Kinsmen Dream Home in the Laredo sub-division. An incorrect figure appeared in Friday’s Advocate.

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

Downtown Red Deer became a little more colour-ful on Saturday for Alberta Culture Days.

Despite the somewhat cool, dreary weather, a handful of local artists took to the sidewalks along Little Gaetz Avenue and Ross Street and created a variety of chalk art pieces representing the city and celebrating the many cultures it encompasses.

Deer, the very same the city was named for, por-traits of Red Deerians from a multitude of back-grounds, as well as First Nations were all featured. Children of all ages were also invited to decorate the Ross Street Patio with chalk artwork of their own, adding rainbows, flowers and landscapes to the con-crete.

In the afternoon, musical buskers joined their fellow artists in livening up the streets with acoustic guitar melodies and pop covers. Those looking to warm up their hands after viewing the outdoor art-work then took in Bull Skit Comedy’s Calf Skit at the Scott Block, as well as Weaving in Time on Ross - an event showcasing traditional Ukrainian and El Sal-vadorian dances, as well as Country pride dancers at the Hub on Ross. Michael Huyzer helped families create their own dreamcatchers while they watched.

In the evening, the second annual Nuit Blanche Festival kicked off in the park behind the Recreation Centre, continuing arts-oriented activities- from live music to art demonstrations and installations- through the night.

Maybe you’re one of the thousands of seasonal workers in Canada. Maybe you’re an independent consultant who lives from assignment to assignment, or you’re working part time, or you’ve just lost your job, or you’re looking for work and wondering how you’re going to pay the bills. If you’re one of the many Canadians who don’t have a steady income stream, creating a system to ensure you have enough money to see you through the down times is crucial to the financial well-being of you and your household.

The first thing to do is to build an emer-gency fund that is large enough to take care of at least six months of expenses and make sure you have suitable insurance, such as critical illness and long-term dis-ability in place.

“This is priority number 1,” said Orville Acton, a financial adviser with Edward Jones. “The emergency fund can help cov-er expenses during down times and there is no income test for insurance, so you just have to make sure that the premiums are affordable and you can cover them.”

Until you are able to build that emergency fund, Acton recommends you keep fixed expenses to a minimum and avoid building up debt, particularly

high-interest credit card debt. If you do use your credit cards, be sure to pay them off immediately.

Getting a personal line of credit is an-other option to access money, but Acton recommends against it.

“Although they usually have lower rates, a personal line of credit is the same old debt trap but only with lower rates,” Acton said. “It’s an option, but only if you absolutely have to.”

If you are self-employed, work at home rather than rent an office until you have built up your cash reserves. Once you’ve created a financial cushion, then you can start to do some long-term planning, such as your retirement fund.

“It’s important to be realistic about what you can or should put aside for re-tirement,” Acton said. “We suggest you start with 10 per cent of your income. Make this a part of your financial disci-pline by putting it away in an RRSP or

tax free savings account, and invest in conservative, good quality, balanced and long-term investments.

You probably also should consult a financial professional to determine which of those savings ve-hicles is best for your situation.

Acton recommends you put away enough to cover

all your expenses, including the 10 per cent for your retirement fund for the worst month that you could expect during the year.

“If you do that you should be fine,” he said.The self-employed might consider taking out an

annuity. Annuity payments never run out, and al-though the rate you receive might not be as high as some other investments, the annuity company takes all the market risk and you are assured of a constant income.

“Some people will want more guarantee than oth-ers will,” Acton said. “The balance between guar-antee and risk depends on the individual, but it’s a good idea to sit down with an adviser who can give you the options and help you decide what is right for you.”

No matter what you decide to do, Acton recom-mends taking the conservative approach to finances and investments.

“It’s prudent to be conservative about your ex-penses, how much you need to live on and in your investments by being balanced and diversified,” he said.

How to budget for a variable income stream

TALBOTBOGGS

MONEYWISE


REGINA — Saskatchewan’s government-owned power utility is set to launch its flagship carbon-capture-and-storage project this week when it cuts the ribbon on a $1.4-billion addition to its Boundary Dam power plant near Estevan.

Billed by SaskPower as the world’s first and larg-est commercial-scale, carbon-capture operation of its kind, the project outfits part of the coal-fired power station with a mechanism to capture carbon dioxide emissions and transport the gas through a steel pipeline into storage deep underground.

While its proponents say the project represents a way to burn fossil fuels — such as coal — more efficiently with less greenhouse gas, critics argue carbon capture simply enables the status quo and does little to mitigate the damage caused by carbon emissions.

“It’s a waste of vital capital that should be invest-ed in conservation, efficiency and renewable (ener-gy),” says Sierra Club Canada director John Bennett. “It doesn’t get us off fossil fuels.

“We can no longer talk in terms of using less of them, we have to be working towards eliminating them.”

The project aims to reduce carbon dioxide emis-sions by one million tonnes annually, which amounts to about 90 per cent of the emissions from the plant.

“We sincerely expect this to become a model for

plants around the world,” says SaskPower CEO Rob-ert Watson. “This is what we think is a long-term, fis-cally responsible way of getting less emissions into the air.”

Some of the carbon dioxide will be liquefied and sold to oil companies to help extract more crude from the ground. The utility has a 10-year contract with Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX:CVE), a Calgary-based oil company, to buy the captured carbon.

The power station will also capture sulphur diox-ide, which can be converted to sulphuric acid and sold for industrial use. A byproduct of coal combus-tion called fly ash will be captured and sold for use in concrete products.

The carbon dioxide that isn’t used for oil recovery will be stored permanently through a process that injects the gas more than three kilometres under-ground.

The plant has been touted as a solution to climate change since 2008, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited the site and announced $240 million in federal funding.

While the final costs are still being calculated, Watson acknowledged the project is over budget. Last fall, that overage was pegged at $115 million, or nine per cent.

He said while the carbon-capture facility was “es-sentially on budget,” there were unforeseen issues with the power facility, including rebuilding the boiler and costs arising from an asbestos scare.

“Things that were beyond our control caused

those issues,” he says.Those issues led to delays. The plant was sup-

posed to start storing some carbon in April.Bennett says the investment in Boundary Dam

could have been put toward renewable-energy proj-ects, such as outfitting homes with solar panels.

“I don’t see this as having much of a long-term fu-ture,” he says.

Arvind Rajendran, a professor in engineering at the University of Alberta who studies carbon cap-ture and storage, says the technology has been used in other industries, including the fertilizer industry, but not on the scale of the Boundary Dam.

“From that perspective, the data that is going to come out of Boundary Dam is very important. It will tell scientists and policy-makers the costs that are involved,” he says. “You have to supply extra energy to capture the (carbon dioxide) and that energy has to come from somewhere.”

One of the advantages of carbon-capture technol-ogy is that it doesn’t require all new infrastructure, unlike such renewable technologies as solar and wind farms, Rajendran says.

“Across the world, carbon capture is still consid-ered as a potential option,” he says, adding that the major challenge is to bring down costs.

“If you consider that the bulk of the world is now powered with coal — countries like China are build-ing a lot of coal plants — we need to have a technol-ogy that will still allow us to use a cheap source of energy such as coal but also reduce emissions.”


Toronto will be the centre of the universe next week.

The city will host the 65th International Astronau-tical Congress, a conference aimed at helping com-panies in the space business.

As well as looking at where man has gone and may go in the future, the meeting will examine how the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence could affect society.

The Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute is hosting the week-long event, which begins Monday with 3,000 participants from about 70 countries.

“It’s a great convening of the global space com-munity,” Geoff Languedoc, the institute’s executive-director, said in an interview. “We have brought the world of space to Canada.”

Besides industry, the congress brings together academia and government representatives from countries that include Russia, China, the United States and Europe.

The Americans are sending almost 600 delegates while Germany and China will also have large con-tingents.

Languedoc says the gathering will try to devel-op relationships with other space organizations throughout the world “that will propel Canadian in-dustries forward.”

“We don’t have a big enough domestic govern-ment-run space program,” he added.

Space-related industries are now being chal-lenged by tight government budgets and more than 150 companies and organizations will be visible at the Toronto convention.

One highlight will be a plenary session Monday afternoon where leaders of the world’s major space agencies will outline the latest developments in their countries.

The session could also provide some insight into the future of the International Space Station and its Canadarm.

The United States will continue to support the gi-ant orbiting space lab until at least 2024, but Canada so far is only committed to 2020.

Pierre Jean, who manages the Canadian Space Agency’s involvement, says the space station should be able to operate until 2028.

“When we did the initial structural analysis of the system, we planned it for 30 years,” he said in an interview. “We wanted to make sure the design was robust (and) if anything, it was over-designed.”

Jean said the Canadian government would need to decide “within the next two or three years” whether to extend its support.

“The latest it could be would probably be in 2018,” he said, adding that the space station’s other part-ners need enough lead time to know whether Canada is in or out.

Jean also pointed out that the Canadarm2 on the space station is being used extensively to grab the commercial spacecraft that deliver supplies to the

astronauts.“If you look ahead a year, we roughly have any-

where from four to six vehicles we’re going to cap-ture every year,” he added.

The robotic arm has been “up there” since 2001 and, even though light bulbs have blown out, its cam-eras are still functional and operations are carried out during daytime.

“Basically, there’s nothing that precludes Cana-darm2 from operating indefinitely on orbit,” he added.

But grabbing visiting spacecraft isn’t Canada’s only involvement on the space station.

Canadian activities during 2013 will be the focus of a presentation by Nicole Buckley, the CSA’s chief scientist in charge of life sciences.

She says Canadian scientists have been doing a lot of work on how the bones and hearts of astronauts have been affected by extended visits.

“One of our scientists has commented that, after six months in space, the cardiovascular system can age something like 10 to 20 years,” Buckley said in a recent interview.

“There are many parallels between some of the changes that occur in space and what occurs with an

aging population.”Bone loss in space is being closely studied.“Based on six months, we know that you’re losing

bone at 10 times the rate of a woman with osteoporo-sis,” she said.

Buckley said combining age research in space with what’s being done on Earth may lead to some real advances.

She was optimistic when asked if that research could be used to slow down aging.

“I’m a scientist,”’ she said. “I think anything is possible”

“One day, that bone research is going to help my mom, who’s 90, if we can do it fast enough.”

Canada’s presence on the International Space Station is well known when compared with other countries like Israel, which is hosting next year’s In-ternational Astronautical Congress.

Prof. Isaac Ben-Israel, the head of the Israel Space Agency, says there’s an explanation for that.

“There is no big difference in the capabilities, the number of satellites, etc.,” he said in an interview. “If you ask me, the main reason for this is the Cana-dian arm on the space station and the Canadian flag” which is visible on the arm.

TORONTO — Investors should pre-pare themselves for more volatility as markets look to a number of important economic releases in hopes of greater clarity on how North American and European economies are faring.

In Canada, the key data for the week will come on Tuesday when the month-ly GDP report for July is released. Economists are expecting gross domes-tic product to remain unchanged at 0.3 per cent, an indication that the Cana-dian economy has slowed somewhat since the first half of the year.

“We lost some of the momentum we saw in the late spring,” said Peter Bu-chanan, a senior economist with CIBC World Markets.

Analysts expect the gains to come from strong car sales that have boosted manufacturing and increased export demand, while wholesale volumes and retail spending will prove a weight.

If predictions on GDP are correct, the numbers are expected to have a negative effect on the loonie, which has been brought down to the 90-cent range in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, traders are expecting Canada’s merchandise trade surplus for August to narrow to $1.8 billion from $2.6 billion in July when Statistics Canada reports on Friday. Strength is expected in crude oil exports and do-mestic car sales.

In the United States, markets will look for reassurances from the latest payrolls figures, also out on Friday. Analysts expect to see a gain in Sep-tember, believing that the disappoint-ingly low August figure was just an anomaly. Expectations are that there was a gain of 213,000 jobs in Septem-ber, compared with 142,000 in August.

“Most of the advance indicators we look at are pretty positive,” said Der-ek Holt, vice-president of Scotiabank Economics. “The initial jobless claims have been quite low and the job vacan-cies remains very elevated so that’s a sign of business confidence when it comes to hiring — the fact they have so many jobs they’ve been unable to fill so far.”

“So there’s all this type of pipeline momentum in the U.S. jobs market that leads me to think that the August dis-

appointment was a bit of an aberra-tion against a still positive trend,” Holt said.

If the figures meet expectations, it will quell some concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve may have about the state of the overall labour market, which it has cited as a key factor in its rate decisions.

Since the Great Recession of 2008-2009, the Fed has pumped trillions of dollars of stimulus into the economy through its bond-buying program, which has kept short-term interest rates low. That, in turn, has helped buoyed stock markets and allowed businesses to refinance their debt at lower rates and increase spending.

The U.S. central bank has signalled that it will completely wind up its bond purchases by the end of October and most economists expect a rate hike by mid-2015. As this occurs over the next few months, investors will have try to remain steadfast through the volatility, said Holt.

“There will be a lot of volatility go-ing around because it’s the exit phase for Fed policy,” he said. “I think if we see some nervousness in the equities market, it will be relatively short term against a long-term positive trend.”

That may come as relief to inves-tors, who endured a large number of ups and downs over the last few weeks, including a big drop on Thursday that saw TSX drop more than 200 points. Even Wall Street wasn’t spared from the turbulence. All three indexes — the Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S&P 500 suffered through their steepest de-clines in two months on Thursday.

Some of that was recouped on Fri-day, with big triple-digit gains on both the Dow and the TSX, although both also ended the week lower —the TSX down 1.56 per cent and the Dow off al-most one per cent.

Meanwhile, the focus will be over-seas on Thursday when the European Central Bank holds its latest meeting. ECB president Mario Draghi is expect-ed to provide more detail on whether the bank will implement quantitative easing to help some of the Continent’s slumping economies.

Investors braced for

more volatility MARKET LOOK AHEAD

PARIS — Air France’s leading pi-lots union on Sunday announced an end to a 14-day strike that grounded roughly half of the airline’s flights, stranded passengers worldwide and led to stern shows of frustration by the French prime minister.

After a late-night, 15-hour negotiat-ing session with management, leaders of the SNPL pilot union walked away with no accord, but with the realiza-tion that the strike “is not an end in itself,” said union spokesman Antoine Amar. The union was “taking up its re-sponsibilities” and ending the walkout so that service can now resume and negotiations can continue peaceably, he said.

Air France, in a statement, said that service would “progressively” start re-turning to normal on Tuesday — mean-ing that flights already cancelled be-tween now and then won’t be reinstat-ed. The company hailed the end of the strike, saying it “will have been costly and damaging. It has only lasted too long.”

Alexandre de Juniac, chairman and CEO of parent company Air France-KLM, said management team members “are aware of the trauma that our cus-tomers, employees and partners just lived through,” according to the state-ment.

At the centre of the standoff are Air France’s ambitions to develop a low-cost affiliate, Transavia, to tap into new markets in both France and else-where in Europe and better compete at a time when budget airlines have cut into the market share once domi-nated by giant European carriers like Air France.

The pilots union said it didn’t op-pose those plans to build the new busi-ness, but rejected the labour condi-

tions that management had planned. They started the strike two weeks ago out of concerns that management was looking for a way to outsource their jobs to countries with lower taxes and labour costs.

In a tactical retreat, the carrier’s management offered Wednesday to scrap a central part of the plan to shift most of its European operations to Transavia. But the pilots remained un-satisfied, saying the contracts sought for the low-cost carrier’s operations in France alone were insufficient.

Air France, in its statement, “con-firmed its decision to continue its ac-celerated development of Transavia in France, without delay” — which sug-gested that issues remain unresolved. The carrier said it is sticking to plans to create 1,000 jobs in France through Transavia carrier, including 250 pilot positions.

Several would-be passengers inter-viewed by The Associated Press ex-pressed frustration and anger during the strike; some grumbled about the tendency of many French workers to strike — and snarl services in the pro-cess.

Speaking to reporters Sunday, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said: “This strike was misunderstood, it was corporatist. It was selfish.”

“It inconvenienced hundreds of thousands — millions — of consumers. It inconvenienced other Air France staffers who made a number of sacri-fices over the years. This strike costs a lot in terms of the company’s image,” he said. “And it has left a trail of divi-sion, fracture within its ranks.”

Air France-KLM said previously that the walkout was costing up to 20 million euros ($25 million) a day.

The French state holds a 16-per cent share of the company, and appoints three board members, a spokeswoman said.

TODAY IN HISTORY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Flexing his star pow-er, Denzel Washington led the thriller The Equalizer to a $35 million debut, ac-cording to studio estimates Sunday.

The Sony-Columbia Pictures release dominated the weekend box office, sur-passing some expectations for the film. Washington plays a former commando living a quiet life in Boston when the disappearance of a prostitute acquain-tance (Chloe Grace Moretz) lures him into a battle with the Russian mafia.

The strong opening marks the third-best debut in Washington’s career, trailing only 2012’s Safe House ($40.1 million) and 2007’s American Gangster ($43.6 million). Washington, who will turn 60 in December, has been one of Hollywood’s most reliable draws without the benefit of anything like a superhero franchise.

“He’s the very model of box-office consistency,” said Paul Dergarabedi-an, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak.

“I can’t think of another star that’s this consistent, that remains this rock solid over the course of three de-cades.”

The Equalizer reteams Washington with director Antoine Fuqua,“ who helmed 2001’s Training Day. That film memorably earned Washington an Oscar for best actor. A sequel to The Equalizer, which is loosely based on the ’80s CBS series, is already in devel-opment.

“We feel like we have a real oppor-tunity with a sequel and a possible franchise with this film,” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony.

Last weekend’s top performer, the young-adult novel adaptation The Maze Runner, starring Dylan O’Brien, slid to second with $17.5 million in its second week. The 20th Century Fox release also has a sequel in the works, due out next September

The stop-motion animated release The Boxtrolls opened in third place with $17.3 million.

It’s the best opening yet for Laika, the Oregon-based animation studio whose previous films are the Oscar-nominated Coraline and ParaNorman.

Critics have been less enthusiastic about The Boxtrolls, about a boy who’s raised by nocturnal, box-wearing crit-ters beneath the British village of Cheesebridge.

But the Focus Features release cap-italized on the relative dearth of fam-ily-friendly options in theatres over recent months.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international num-bers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

1. The Equalizer, $35 million ($17.8 million international).

2. The Maze Runner, $17.5 million ($27.5 million international).

3. The Boxtrolls, $17.2 million ($5.1 million international).

4. This Is Where I Leave You, $7 mil-lion.

5. Dolphin Tale 2, $4.8 million.6. No Good Deed, $4.6 million.7. A Walk Among the Tombstones, $4.2

million ($2.1 million international).8. Guardians of the Galaxy, $3.8 mil-

lion ($4 million international).

9. Let’s Be Cops, $1.5 million ($1 mil-lion international).

10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, $1.5 million ($3.9 million international).

‘The Equalizer’ debuts with $35MDENZEL WASHINGTON FLICK TAKES TOP SPOT AT THE BOX OFFICE

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In this image released by Columbia Pictures, Denzel Washington and Nash Edgerton, foreground, appear in a scene from The Equalizer.

Dear Annie: I recently married a man who has never been married before, although he lived with a woman for 15 years. They never had children, and “Vic” cheated on her for years. He paid for everything, and she had a free ride. He essentially paid her off to leave.

I have three grown children from a previous marriage. After our wedding two months ago, we planned on moving into my house until I can sell it. (Part of my divorce agreement is to split the proceeds of a sale when our youngest child turns 18.) Vic’s house is in a rather scary neigh-borhood. It has a structural defect and won’t sell for what he owes the bank. I arranged for reliable renters, but four days before they were to move in, Vic backed out of the deal. He said he need-ed more time and didn’t want to resent me for making him move and then move again once my house sells. Vic promised to move out of his place on August 1, but didn’t, so I’ve been living there in order to be with him. We both agreed to get a new place when my house sells, and he promised this arrangement would be temporary. I really hate his rundown neighborhood, and worse, his ex lives two blocks away.

When we are together, he treats me very well, but I worry that he’ll never move out of his place. Could he have terminal bachelor dis-ease? I am fantasizing about selling my place,

taking the check and driving to Vegas to open my own business. I love Vic, but I didn’t bargain to live the rest of my life in this lousy neighbor-hood. – Unhappy in Rhode Island

Dear Unhappy: Set a time limit on staying at Vic’s place – perhaps three months after your house is sold. But don’t wait until the sale to start looking at other neighborhoods – that way

Vic can see the benefits of a nicer home in a better area. Help him pack up his stuff so that his house appears less comforting and more transitional. A new marriage and a new home can be traumatizing for some people, and you have to give Vic time to adjust.

Dear Annie: I am the woman who wrote the letter signed “Fluffy’s Competi-tion,” about my husband’s fondness for his cat. You printed several responses from readers, one of whom said the cat was there first and another who thought it was perfectly OK for my husband to drop me at the hospital for a seven-hour surgery while he spent the day with Fluffy at the vet. I didn’t mention that the day I had my surgery, there were complications and I ended up in intensive care. My daughter couldn’t reach my husband because he wouldn’t return her phone calls. He didn’t show up at the hospital for two days.

Aside from my severe allergies (for which I take medication), Fluffy currently has body

mites, and my husband refuses to get her treat-ed because vets are “too expensive.” I agree with you that his priorities are screwed up. – Still Fluffy’s Competition

Dear Still: Whatever reservations we had about your husband are gone now that we know he didn’t turn up at the hospital until two days after your surgery. Is there a reason you cannot pay for Fluffy’s mite treatment yourself? It seems worth it. But only you can decide whether you love your husband enough to play second fiddle.

Dear Annie: This is for “Cornered in New York,” whose boss makes them eat lunch to-gether.

The New York State Department of Labor has clear guidelines about work hours, including breaks for meals. If the employees must partici-pate in a joint lunch as a team-building exercise, then they are not being given the required break for lunch that the law requires. She should con-tact the state Department of Labor (anonymous-ly) and request that they investigate. – A.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might feel like you are in limbo throughout the daily, things just don’t seem to be moving at the speed you want them to. This is because your ruling plan-et, mercury, is stationing. All that aside, you will feel more peace and harmony with being your true self, enjoy this!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Today will be the start of more harmony and peace entering your life. There is a sense that you will be able to create your dreams from home now. You will actively seek out those dreams, and you will know they will pay off financially for you now!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): After some time of not truly knowing how to express your true self with others, and really this is be-ing a setback for you, today will be a new start to express just how you feel with others in your life. You’ll want peace, but won’t back down from a fight starting now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today will mark the start of your finances increasing.

Your personal worth will depend on being able to share your perspective with others. Ex-press yourself now!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your ruling planet will move into your own sign today. You will start to feel like yourself again, and will want to pamper your-self a little more. This is great, you have truly been through it all this year and will need some rest time and comfort. Discuss future opportunities now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Peace of mind will start to filter in for you starting now. I would say, as this is a general chart, whatever has been troubling you in reference to your own life, will start to be smoothed out and you will feel more at peace with your current situation and life now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you own a business, then this is the start of more fi-nances coming in for you now. Generally, it would indicate that there will be more harmony with friends and within groups. Trust your aspirations, you will review all lessons and start to imple-ment them now!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Later today, when Venus moves into Libra, you will bet-ter able to start to smooth over any issues you’ve been having professionally. You will feel this urge to get moving forward, and this will be helped by Venus cre-ating more of a pleasant atmo-sphere at work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have learnt many les-

sons this last year, now is the time to attract that energy back to you. To fully live in that under-standing and perspective going forward, it is time to make your future harmonious with your past and move toward more peace and clarity for yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you pre-pared for what is about to happen? Well, I hope you are! There is such a strong pull to cre-ate very penetrating and deep harmony and peace for you now. Past fears will be balanced out through discussion and you will be able to breathe a sign of relief finally!

Rebels 7 Ice 1The Red Deer Rebels

looked like the total package Saturday night at the Enmax Centrium, a package complete with fancy wrap and tied with bows.

All facets of the Rebels game were clicking as the host club romped to a 7-1 victory over the Kootenay Ice before a recorded gathering of 5,056. The home club dominated all but the first 10 minutes of the middle frame while improving to 2-1-0-0 just over a week into the Western Hockey League season.

Red Deer was up 2-0 just four minutes into the contest as Grayson Pawlenchuk beat Ice netminder Wyatt Hoflin with a backhand through the five-hole and Meyer Nell gathered a bounce off the end boards and one-timed the puck into a gaping cage.

“We certainly had a real good start, that was huge,” said Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter. “We played the same opponent last Friday (in a 5-3 loss) and never had the out-come we wanted even though we played well.

“Tonight we just did a lot of good things, our details were very good. It’s early in the year but there’s a certain way we want to play. We have to be a four-line team and we want to use our defencemen. When you get everyone engaged, ev-

eryone involved, its a lot easi-er to use your bench that way because you can rely on every-body.”

The Rebels added another goal very late in the opening period, as Evan Polei cleanly won a faceoff in the Kootenay end with eight seconds re-maining. The puck came back to Conner Bleackley in the low slot and the Red Deer captain beat Hoflin with a quick shot low to the corner.

The Rebels held an 18-3 ad-vantage in shots through the first 20 minutes and while it appeared to be — and ulti-mately was — game, set and match at that point, Sutter re-minded his troops at the in-termission that the visitors would be a tougher opponent in the second period, and they were during the first half of the frame.

“The message to our guys was ‘let’s not get off our game’,” said Sutter. “I knew they (Ice) were going to come out and play different in the second period, which they did.

“I thought at times in the second we got maybe a little careless with the puck, where we had some turnovers when we weren’t strong on pucks and allowed them to keep pucks in the zone. After the timeout we regrouped and played better in the last 10 minutes of the period. We got back more to how we played in the first period.”

Following a scoreless mid-dle stanza, the Rebels struck four times in the final 20 min-

utes, Presten Kopeck igniting the spark with the club’s first power-play marker of the sea-son 1:20 into the period.

Wyatt Johnson connected just over two minutes later — converting a perfect goal-mouth feed from Bleackley — and Scott Feser made it a 6-0 game at 7:22 after stepping out of the penalty box, taking a stretch pass from Cole Chor-ney and breaking in alone on Ice back-up goalie Keelan Wil-liams, who replaced Hoflin following Johnson’s goal.

Hoflin stopped 26 of the 31

shots he faced and Williams finished with seven saves. At the other end, Rebels rookie Rylan Toth faced only 18 shots and had his shutout bid ruined when third-year Ice forward Kyle O’Connor snapped home a centering pass from Ryan Chynoweth at 7:37.

“The important thing in a game like this is that your goalie keep his focus,” said Sutter. “We did a good job of keeping things out of the mid-dle of the ice in our zone. We only gave up three shots in the first period but there was one

he (Toth) had to be sharp on, and then he kept his focus.

“That was something that Taylor (Rebels goalie coach Dakers) talked to him about between periods, making sure that he didn’t get distracted because he hadn’t had a lot of work. That’s part of devel-oping yourself as a goalie on the mental side of the game. You know your team doesn’t want to be giving up a ton of shots, so you have to be men-tally tough.”

Europe retains Ryder Cup behind a star and a rookieBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENEAGLES — The tone was set by Rory McIlroy, the best player in the world. The winning shot came from Ja-mie Donaldson, a Ryder Cup rookie.

Europe added another lay-er to its Ryder Cup dominance on Sunday by leaving no doubt who had the best team, if not the best players. Behind two early comebacks that showed its resolve, Europe clinched the cup with four matches still on the course.

With a 16 ½ -11 ½ victory, Europe kept that gold trophy for the eighth time in the last 10 tries.

McIlroy played some of his best golf this year — even for a guy who won the last two majors — by trouncing Rickie Fowler to put the first point on the board. Donaldson fin-ished off the Americans with a 9-iron that settled 18 inches from the cup on the 15th hole at Gleneagles and set off the celebration.

“It came down to me to close it out,” Donaldson said. “But it’s all about the team.”

That concept appeared lost on the Americans.

Not long after the closing ceremony, Phil Mickelson said the Americans have strayed from the winning formula at Valhalla in 2008 under Paul Azinger — their only victory in these matches dating to 1999. Even with U.S. captain Tom Watson sitting six seats away, Mickelson said that American team was invested in each oth-er, which was different from Watson’s style of doing it his way.

It was an awkward way to

end another bad week for the Americans in the Ryder Cup.

Watson defended his phi-losophy, though he conceded he might have erred in using some players who were too tired, leading to a 10-6 deficit going into Sunday singles.

“The bottom line is they kicked our butts,” Watson said. “They were better players this week.”

Watson said he had a pit in his stomach watching the Americans blow a 10-6 lead two years ago at Medinah. The PGA of America brought him back as captain — at age 65, the oldest in Ryder Cup histo-ry — hopeful he could repeat some history. Watson was the last captain in 1993 to win on European soil.

It might not have mattered where this was played.

Graeme McDowell rallied from 3 down after five holes to close out his match against Jordan Spieth on the 17th hole. Justin Rose was 4 down after six holes when he won four straight holes with bird-ies against Hunter Mahan, and got up-and-down for birdie on the 18th to give Europe a half-point.

Rose went unbeaten for the week at 3-0-2.

That set the stage for Don-aldson, a 38-year-old from Wales playing in his first Ryder Cup. He seized control over Keegan Bradley at the turn, and then it was a matter of when Europe could pop the champagne. Donaldson was so locked in on his task that he was unaware that he had retained the cup for Europe when he was 4 up with four holes to play.

Chiefs split games on opening weekend for regular season

BY JOSH ALDRICHADVOCATE STAFF

Tigers 4 Chiefs 1Chiefs 4, Bisons 2

Twenty minutes is all that separated Brandin Cote from a perfect regular season debut as head coach of the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs.

It’s just those 20 minutes were pretty bad and sent the club to a 4-1 loss in their home opener on Saturday to the Medicine Hat Tigers at the Arena. However, they rebounded to beat the UFA Bisons 4-2 in Strathmore on Sunday.

“(Saturday) I thought after we woke up we deserved a better fate,” he said. “I think we outplayed Medicine Hat quite handily in the second and third period but it was a little too late after we got be-hind the eight ball.

“We just wanted the guys to respond well today and play a solid game ... a team game, and we were really happy with the response today.”

In Saturday’s loss, Cayden Terlson, Josef Holubowich, Quinten Karg and Slater Dyke-ma all scored for the Tigers while Xavier Burghardt made 46 saves, including 37 in the final two periods, for the win.

Ryley Smith got the Chiefs lone goal while Cole Sears made 23 saves.

On Sunday, the Chiefs flipped the script, as Ryan Vandervlis had a goal and two assists to lead the Red Deer attack. Brad Makofka, Luke Coleman and Chase Olsen al-so scored for the Chiefs while

Branden Bilodeau made 35 saves for the win.

Jordan McConnell scored both of the Bisons goals and Cody Campbell stopped 23 shots in the loss.

The depth in scoring was important on opening week as they were down Reagan Doig, whop was suspended for one game due to a hit-from-behind on Saturday, and Tyrees Good-running who is already banged up.

Goodrunning was one of their top forwards through their preseason.

“We were down to nine for-wards and guys just battled hard,” said Cote.

“We just wanted to have a solid road game and play to-gether and compete and we got that out of most of the guys today.”

The Chiefs at the Red Deer Arena for both of their games this coming weekend, hosting the Fort Saskatchewan Rang-ers on Saturday at 4:45 p.m. and Edmonton’s South Side Athletic Club Athletics on Sunday at 3 p.m.

“We just want the kids to get better every day when they come to practice,” said Cote. “We’ve told them its going to be a process throughout the year, there’s going to be some ups and downs ... and we’re going to have to battle through some adversity and we did that this weekend and we came out unscathed.

“We really want to establish our home rink as somewhere it’s going to be tough to come in and get points.”

SILVERTIPS 6 WINTERHAWKS 4PORTLAND, Ore. — Graham Millar

had a pair of goals and Carson Stadnyk scored once and set up three more as the Everett Silvertips downed the host Portland Winterhawks 6-4 on Sunday in Western Hockey League action.

Noah Juulsen had a goal and two as-sists for the Silvertips (3-0-0), who used a five-goal second period to beat Port-land for the second time in as many nights, while Patrick Bajkov and Kevin David added single goals.

Evan Weinger scored twice for the Winterhawks (0-5-0), who are the only team in the Western Conference with-out a victory.

HITMEN 9 HURRICANES 2CALGARY — Pavel Karnaukhov

and Travis Sanheim each scored twice and Terrell Draude had a goal and three assists as the Hitmen crushed Lethbridge. Taylor Sanheim, Adam Tambellini, Chase Lang and Carsen Twarynski also scored for Calgary (1-2-0) while Mack Shields made 18 saves for the win. Zane Jones scored both goals for the Hurricanes (0-3-0).

GIANTS 5 ROYALS 3VANCOUVER — The Giants scored

three unanswered goals in the third period to come from behind and de-feat Victoria. Carter Popoff, Alex Baer, Tyler Benson and Thomas Foster each had a goal and an assist for Vancouver (3-0-0) while Vladimir Bobylev added a single goal. Payton Lee kicked out 24 shots for the win.


TORONTO — Frustrating. Enter-taining. Disappointing.

The Toronto Blue Jays wrapped up yet another roller-coaster season Sun-day rife with emotion.

“We were an entertaining team,” manager John Gibbons said before the season-ending 1-0 loss to Baltimore. “A frustrating team but very entertaining. I think we gave our fans some pretty good entertainment along the way. But in saying that too we’re all disappoint-ed.”

Toronto finished the season at 83-79 record, falling into third in the Ameri-can League East on the last day as the Yankees (84-78) moved ahead with a win. The Jays finished 13 game behind the Orioles.

The Jays were 38-24, six games atop the division, on June 6 — fuelled in large part by a 21-9 May (a .700 record for the month).

If May was the peak, August was the valley. The team slumped to a 9-17 record (.346) with Adam Lind, Edwin Encarnacion and Brett Lawrie missing chunks of action through injury.

Pitcher R.A. Dickey talked of the need for consistency.

“We need to figure out how we can consistently be better,” he said. “How can we have the May that we did in multiple months and how do we elimi-nate the August that we had?”

General manager Alex Anthopoulos also said the team fell short.

“We didn’t achieve our goals. That goes without saying,” he said.

“It’s more disheartening this season, I felt like we were close. Obviously we were there the bulk of the year,” he added.

But he repeated his confidence in Gibbons, who has a rolling contract that kicks in every Jan. 1.

Anthopoulos said he was excited about the off-season, given the team has some roster flexibility in terms of

options and expiring contracts.But he said it was too early to talk

about the 2015 payroll. It was reported-ly around US$137 million this season.

The GM did repeat Toronto’s stance that it won’t offer contacts longer than five years.

The team will have to dig deep into its pocket to re-sign left-fielder Melky Cabrera and needs to solve question marks in centre-field, second base and the bullpen. The bench and defence also need upgrades.

Anthopoulos said he did not ex-pect the team’s limit on contact length would hinder attempts to retain Ca-brera.

“I think Melky and his agent know the policies of the organization, and that doesn’t seem to be a stumbling block,” he said. “We’ve been consistent with those things. If something like our five-year policy was a problem, I’m pretty sure I would have been told that already, and it doesn’t look to be the case. It’s probably as much as I can say on that.”

The starting rotation of Dickey, Mark Buehrle, Drew Hutchinson, Mar-cus Stroman and J.A. Happ was better than expected once it came together. Aaron Sanchez, used in the bullpen, is also likely to see action as a starter in spring training.

“You can never have enough depth,” Anthopoulos said when asked whether the team can afford to trade any of its starting talent.

Anthopoulos said the team is re-viewing what it can do to keep oft-in-jured third baseman Lawrie on the field. As to the August slump, he called it a “bad month.” But he said it showed the need for better depth, among other things

“And that’s not to make excuses for it. It was bad,” he said. “We’re all ac-countable for it ... As a front office, we need to do a better job of either getting players that are a little more durable or having players that can come in and fill in and keep the ship afloat.”

VANCOUVER — The Red Deer Col-lege Kings split a pair of matches in the ACAC/PacWest Challenge men’s volleyball tournament Sunday at Capi-lano University.

The Kings rested some of their key players and fell 3-0 (20-25, 25-27, 25-27) to Douglas College of New Westmin-ster, then rallied for a 3-0 (25-18, 25-21, 25-19) victory over Columbia Bible Col-

lege of Abbotsford.The Kings were 2-0 in Saturday’s ac-

tion, defeating Vancouver Island Uni-versity of Nanaimo 3-0 (25-15, 32-30, 25-23) and downing Capilano 3-1 (25-19, 25-20, 22-25, 25-23). Tim Finnigan paced the RDC squad with 14 kills, three blocks and two aces against VIU and 17 kills, one block, four digs and four aces against Capilano.

REBELS: Stepping stoneKopeck potted his second of the night — a

short-handed tally — a mere 46 seconds fol-lowing the lone Kootenay marker, scoring on a wrap-around when Williams misplayed the puck.

“This was a big stepping stone for us,” said Kopeck.

“We played a full team game and beat one of the best teams in the league last week (4-1 win over the host Calgary Hitmen Sept. 20) and we knew we had to build off of that.

“We knew we had to come into this game ready to go and we got a big two points.”

Kopeck was selected as the Advocate’s first star of the game, based partly on his two-goal performance but more for his hustle and in-spired play.

“I want to be that physical guy playing with energy, a guy who can set an example for our younger players and our older guys too,” he said.

“With me, I’m always going to come and com-pete 110 per cent every game. I did that tonight and we got rewarded as a team.”

Bleackley made his Rebels season debut after returning from the Colorado Avalanche camp and was impressive in the process. He finished with a goal and two helpers and was a plus-1.

“Bleacks comes back and creates some of-fence for us. He scores a big goal and makes a couple of really nice plays,” said Sutter. “It’s an adjustment for him, to be quite honest. That’s his first game he’s had at this level this fall,

he never played any of our exhibition games. There’s going to a bit of a timing factor from being at an NHL camp and playing in an NHL preseason game and then coming back and playing here tonight. I thought he handled it quite well.”

Bleackley, who received a few stitches after being cut during the game, was selected as the Advocate’s second star and Polei, who picked up two assists, was the third star.

CUP: Close to perfectFrom 146 yards in fairway, he fired a 9-iron

at the flag and let the club twirl through his hands.

It was close to perfect.Watson walked over and shook his hand,

and then put his arm around McGinley as they headed to the green. Bradley got onto the put-ting surface, and as soon as he saw Donaldson’s ball next to the cup, he removed his cap and shook hands.

McGinley talked all week about a template of European success. The message was to em-brace their role as the favourites, and to be proud that they had earned it. And the final instruction was to avoid complacency. Europe won the Sunday singles session for the second straight Ryder Cup.

STORIES FROM PAGE B1


Cowboys 38 Saints 17ARLINGTON, Texas — Tony Romo

wasn’t trying to look like DeMarco Murray.

The 34-year-old Dallas quarterback instead showed everyone that his sur-gically repaired back is coming along just fine.

Romo threw three touchdown passes and Murray ran for a pair of scores in another 100-yard game — one of them after the longest scramble of Romo’s career — in the Cowboys’ 38-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night.

The Cowboys went up 31-3 when Ro-mo broke free on third down and slid for the first down a play before Mur-ray ran loose in the secondary, juked Jairus Byrd at the 10 and was pushed across the goal line by Corey White.

“It makes me feel old and the fact that I haven’t gotten more than 21 yards is pretty pathetic,” said Romo, whose previous long run was 17 yards despite a career known for scrambles that keep plays alive. “But other than that, it feels pretty great.”

The Cowboys kept Drew Brees and the Saints scoreless in the first half after giving up an NFL-record 40 first downs in a 49-17 blowout loss in New Orleans last year.

Brees had touchdown passes to Josh Hill and Jimmy Graham early in the fourth quarter to get the Saints to 31-17 before the Cowboys regained control.

The former Texas high school star threw for 340 yards, but had just 84 yards with an interception while Dal-las was building a 24-0 halftime lead af-ter he had 838 yards with seven touch-downs and no picks in his previous two games against Dallas, both wins.

“I think we’re a different team than we were last year,” Romo said. “What you find is you forget it’s the Saints and Drew Brees and just go play.”

Dallas reached 3-1 for the first time under coach Jason Garrett after also starting 2-1 the three previous seasons. The Cowboys are tied with Philadel-phia for the NFC East lead.

The Saints (1-3) couldn’t sustain the momentum from their win over Minne-

sota and lost to the Cowboys in Texas for the first time since 1991.

“There’s not going to be too much good to see in this film,” New Orleans coach Sean Payton said. “We’re 1-3 right now, and that’s about how we’re playing.”

The Cowboys had 445 yards against former Cowboys defensive co-ordina-tor Rob Ryan, who directed the scheme that led to one of the franchise’s worst

offensive performances in years last season, about 10 months after they fired him.

Romo was 22 of 29 for 262 yards without an interception. He finished an 80-yard drive to open the game with a 6-yard pass to a leaping Terrance Williams in the end zone and found him again for 23 yards to put Dallas up 24-0 with 19 seconds left in the first half.

Williams led Dallas with 77 yards receiving, and Bryant had an 18-yard scoring catch late in the fourth quarter to secure the second win for Dallas in the past 10 games against New Orleans.

Murray’s first touchdown, a 15-yard run virtually untouched around right end, was set up when Bruce Carter tipped Brees’ pass and Justin Durant intercepted it at the New Orleans 39.

The NFL’s leading rusher joined Emmitt Smith as the only Dallas run-ning backs with 100 yards in the first four games of a season, and he didn’t fumble in the first quarter for the first time this season. He had 149 yards to push his season total to 534.

“DeMarco is inspirational,” own-er Jerry Jones said. “Glad to see him have a game that he didn’t turn the ball over. About the time New Orleans was thinking about getting some life, he’d go out and make those yards.”

Brees had 256 yards passing after halftime.

After pulling to 31-17 early in the fourth quarter, the Saints had a chance to get closer, but a drive stalled and punter Thomas Morstead was tackled for a 2-yard loss while trying to throw a pass on a fake punt. That set up Bry-ant’s clinching touchdown.

“Hindsight’s probably 20-20,” Pay-ton said. “It was on the hash mark that we wanted, and they covered it pretty well.”


49ers 26 Eagles 21SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Frank

Gore caught a career-best 55-yard touchdown and ran for 119 yards in his first 100-yard game this year, leading the San Francisco 49ers past Phila-delphia 26-21 on Sunday to hand the Eagles their first loss.

The 49ers delivered a late goal-line stand as they avoided their first three-game losing streak under fourth-year coach Jim Harbaugh, containing the league’s top passer in Nick Foles. He threw two incomplete passes from the 1 in the waning moments.

On a day the 49ers (2-2) gave up big plays on special teams, Gore came through. Colin Kaepernick also threw a touchdown pass to Stevie Johnson and Phil Dawson kicked four field goals.

Darren Sproles had a career-best 82-yard punt return for a touchdown, Malcom Jenkins ran an interception 53 yards for a score for the Eagles (3-1). Brad Smith recovered a blocked punt for a TD.

Buccaneers 27, Steelers 24PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Glen-

non hit a diving Vincent Jackson for a 5-yard touchdown with 7 seconds re-maining to lift Tampa Bay to a stun-ning win.

The Buccaneers (1-3) lost to Atlan-ta by six touchdowns a week ago but bounced back. Glennon passed for 302 yards in his first start of the season, including a 41-yard catch-and-run by Louis Murphy that set up Jackson’s score.

Ben Roethlisberger passed for 314 yards and three touchdowns, but Pitts-burgh (2-2) couldn’t protect a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter. Anto-nio Brown caught seven passes for 131 yards and two scores, and Heath Miller added a career-high nine grabs.

The Steelers committed 13 penalties for 125 yards.

Ravens 38, Panthers 10BALTIMORE (AP) — Steve Smith

punished his former team with seven catches for 139 yards and two touch-downs. Smith spent 13 seasons with Carolina before he was released in a cost-cutting move during the off-sea-son. The 35-year-old receiver showed the Panthers he can still make the big play, scoring twice in the second quar-ter to help put Baltimore (3-1) in front 21-7 at halftime.

The first touchdown came when Smith grabbed a pass that deflected off the right hand of teammate Owen Dan-iels. He caught the ball in stride and took it into the end zone to complete a 61-yard play.

Smith also scored from 21 yards with a diving reception.

Joe Flacco went 22 of 31 for 327 yards and three touchdowns, the other a 24-yarder to Torrey Smith.

Carolina (2-2) has lost two straight, both in lopsided fashion against AFC North foes.

Packers 38, Bears 17CHICAGO (AP) — Aaron Rodgers

threw for 302 yards and four touch-downs, and the Packers shook off one of their worst offensive performances in years.

The Packers (2-2) scored on their first six possessions to build a 38-17 lead. They racked up 358 yards after being held to 223, their lowest total since 2008, a week earlier in a 19-7 loss at Detroit.

They intercepted Jay Cutler twice in the third quarter to pull away from the Bears (2-2). That gave Green Bay five straight wins at Soldier Field, includ-ing the NFC title game four years ago and a playoffs-or-bust finale for both teams last season.

Chargers 33, Jaguars 14SAN DIEGO (AP) — Philip Rivers

threw for 377 yards and three touch-downs, two to Eddie Royal.

Royal had scoring catches of 47 and 43 yards, his second straight two-touch-down game. The Chargers (3-1) extend-ed their winning streak to three.

Passing because the Chargers’ run-ning game is nonexistent due to in-juries to Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead, Rivers had his second three-touchdown game of the season. He went 29 of 39.

Royal had five catches for 105 yards. Keenan Allen had 10 for 135, both ca-reer highs, and Malcom Floyd had a 24-yard touchdown catch.

Rookie Blake Bortles made his first start for the Jaguars (0-4), threw one touchdown pass, was intercepted twice and twice had Jacksonville in the lead in the first half.

Vikings 41, Falcons 28MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Teddy

Bridgewater passed for 317 yards and a key 2-point conversion before leav-ing with an ankle injury. The rookie was 19 for 30 with no turnovers and ran five times for 27 yards and a score in his first career start, but his last carry was costly. His left foot rolled under-neath him as he was sandwiched by two tacklers at the 1-yard line.

Matt Asiata powered his way in on the next play for his third touchdown, and Bridgewater stayed in to zip a crisp pass to Rhett Ellison to push the lead to 35-28.

As Bridgewater was taken away on a cart for X-rays, Christian Ponder took over at quarterback for the Vikings (2-1).

The Falcons (2-2) lost three start-ing offensive linemen to injuries and wound up sticking tight end Levine Toilolo at right tackle in the fourth quarter.

Texans 23, Bills 17HOUSTON (AP) — J.J. Watt had an-

other highlight-reel play to help the Texans overcome a tough day offen-sively. Houston (3-1) was down by three in the third quarter and Ryan Fitzpat-rick had just thrown a second inter-ception when the 6-foot-5, 289-pound Watt returned an interception 80 yards to put the Texans up 14-10.

The defensive end caught a touch-down pass in Week 2, giving him more TDs this year than Arian Foster and Andre Johnson combined.

Under heavy pressure all afternoon, EJ Manuel finished with 225 yards passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Bills (2-2). Buffalo was driving late when Darryl Morris picked him off at the Houston 15 to se-cure the victory.

Lions 24, Jets 17EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) —

Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Lions overcame Calvin Johnson being limited by an ankle injury.

Jeremy Ross and Eric Ebron caught scoring passes for the Lions, who are 3-1 for the second straight season. Stafford finished 24 of 34 for 293 yards.

Johnson, who was in and out of the game, was clearly impeded by his in-jured ankle. He had just two catches for 12 yards. Golden Tate had a big game, catching eight passes for 116 yards.

A struggling Geno Smith had two more turnovers as chants of “We Want Vick!” echoed throughout MetLife Sta-dium at times. The Jets, who made it close on Chris Johnson’s 35-yard run with 6:58 left, fell to 1-3 for the first time in Rex Ryan’s six seasons as coach.

Dolphins 38, Raiders 14LONDON (AP) — Ryan Tannehill

threw for 278 yards and two touch-

downs in the latest international game. Tannehill, in the middle of a storm all week because his coach declined to confirm him as the starter, took advan-tage of a depleted Oakland defence to snap a two-game losing streak for the Dolphins (2-2).

The Raiders (0-4) scored on their opening drive but struggled after that. And starting quarterback Derek Carr was injured in the third quarter, re-placed by third-stringer Matt McGloin.

Tannehill threw a 13-yard touch-down pass to Mike Wallace and an 18-yarder to Dion Sims. Lamar Miller rushed for two more TDs, and corner-back Cortland Finnegan ran back a

fumble 50 yards for another.

Colts 41, Titans 17INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew

Luck threw four touchdown passes and Reggie Wayne scored for the first time this season. Indy (2-2) extended its league-leading streak of consecutive wins over division foes to nine.

Luck was 29 of 41 for a season-best 393 yards. Wayne had seven catches for a season-best 119 yards and scored on a spectacular spinning 28-yard catch.

Tennessee (1-3) has lost three straight since an impressive season-opening win over Kansas City, and this one wasn’t even close.

Vipers split opening weekend games


Kings 11, Broncos 0The Red Deer College

Kings cracked open the record book as they took over second place in the south division of the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference men’s soccer.

With a little help from the Lakeland Rustlers (6-0-1), the Kings (3-1-3) jumped over the SAIT Trojans (3-2-1) and the Medicine Hat Rattlers (3-2-2) with an 11-0 win over the Olds College Broncos (0-6-0) in Red Deer.

The win was the largest for RDC since 1990 (online ACAC records do not go back further) and the fourth largest in the league over that span.

The Kings’ previous mark was a 9-1 win over the Leth-bridge College Kodiaks on Sept. 29, 2012.

“Our biggest thing at half time was not to get compla-cent,” said Kings head coach Steve Fullarton. “You would think with the score the way it was (5-0) it would be a nice and easy halftime, but instead we gave them a bit of a roast-ing to make sure they stayed focused and didn’t get into any bad habits.”

RDC got two goals from each from Andrew Jevne, Chase Grenier and Mark Ib-botson while Eric Gopel, Alex Ingraham, William Vasquez and Bruno Damian also scored once. Luke Owen out up the clean sheet but was hardly tested. Josh Riddley gave up

all 11 goals for Olds.The Kings also picked up

a single point in Saturday’s 4-4 tie with SAIT, who lost 2-0 to Lakeland on Sunday, to go from fourth to second with three games to go in the regular season. The top three teams from each division ad-vance to the championship tournament.

The biggest margins of vic-tory in the ACAC since 1990 has been a trio of 12-0 games, Mount Royal over RDC on Sept. 24, 1994, Mount Royal over Keyano on Sept. 12, 2004,

and NAIT over Grand Prairie on Sept. 24, 2005.

The Kings built a 5-0 lead at half time and did their best to remain focused in the sec-ond half while getting in their bench.

“It was a good opportuni-ty to keep everyone on their toes,” said Fullarton. “It’s al-ways good to get everyone on the field and get them a bit of playing time because you never know when you’re going to need them.”

Grenier was named the Kings player of the game while

Dallas Hayes took the honour for Olds.

In Saturday’s match, Ib-botson scored twice for RDC while Kirk Moody and Alim Hirji added single goals.

Queens 1, Broncos 0The RDC Queens earned six

points out of their two week-end games, but they were far from perfect.

In a pair of 1-0 home games, they swept SAIT (3-2-1) and Olds (0-5-1), but the scores should have been a lot higher for the Queens (4-2-1).

Kaitlin D’Arcy got the lone goal for Red Deer in Satur-day’s win over the Trojans and Celine Jensen scored in a win over the Broncos on Sunday.

After a sloppy first half on Sunday, RDC took over against Olds and quite likely should have put a six up on the score-board, but hit posts or narrow-ly missed open nets. It took un-til the 82nd minute for Jensen to break the deadlock.

“The first half was awful, we couldn’t put two passes to-gether ... everything was bad,” said Queens head coach Dave Colley. “We had a little chat at half time ... we came out and the play changed completely. We came out and everything was so much better.”

It was a game that could have gone sideways if Olds caught a break.

“You do have games like that, but the one thing I know about this team is they do nev-er give up,” said Colley. “They might not play as well as they can but they go right to the 90th minute.”

RDC also suffered a ma-jor loss in their win over the Broncos as star goalie Lauren Good was ejected after getting into a fight with Broncos strik-er Jessica Small with about a minute to go in the game.

Good lost her cool after get-ting run by Small for the sec-ond time in the half, this time Small appeared to have kicked Good while both were on the ground and to have thrown a punch. Good then retaliated by throwing several punches of her own.

The red card for a violent act carries with it an auto-matic four-game ban, and with three games to go until play-offs it is a major blow to the Queens back end. Second year goalie Vanessa Lee now takes over as starter.

“I can’t condone it, but I’ve been there myself, and if someone punches you — es-pecially if they’ve just slid in with their cleats and got you — it’s real hard not to respond,” said Colley. “We had a little chat in there about a team that has nothing to lose and a team that hopefully is going to the playoffs and we have to be smart. We need to real-ly bite our tongue and lay on the ground. I know it’s a soc-cer thing to lay on the ground, but in that situation, laying on the ground and waiting for the ref to sort it out would be the thing to do.”

RDC is in Calgary on Satur-day this weekend and Olds on Sunday.

Vipers 6, Thunder 5, OTPrior to the start of the 2014-

15 Heritage Junior B Hockey League season, new Red Deer Vipers head coach JD Morri-cal called out the leadership on his team.

He wanted them to take on the role full-heartedly.

At least for one weekend, they did just that.

It was far from pretty, but the Red Deer Vipers found a way to get a split out of the opening weekend.

After losing 4-0 to the de-fending four time league champion Okotoks Bisons in Okotoks on Friday, they rallied to beat the Airdrie Thunder 6-5 in overtime on Saturday at the Red Deer Arena, thanks to a five-point night from captain Justin Corbett.

“When he plays like that, there’s not many players that can beat him,” said Cote of Corbett. “If he plays like that every night we won’t lose many hockey games, it’s nice to see because the boys follow him.”

It was a challenge heard and accepted by those wear-ing letters.

“We’re just trying to stay positive on the bench,” said assistant captain Colton We-seen. “If it’s a big moment out there, you need to win a big draw, you need to make a big hit, you just go out and do it, do whatever you can to get the win.”

Corbett scored two goals and added three assists on

Saturday while line mate Cole deGraaf scored twice, including the OT winner, and added an assist to pace the Vi-pers. Nick Glackin and Justin Spearing also scored for Red Deer while 16-year-old Lane Congdon made 29 saves in his first career start and win.

Airdrie responded with two goals from Aidan Crowther and single markers from Liam Wise, Ryan Zeniuk and Tyler Perkins. Kade Taplin stopped 36 of 42 shots in the loss.

The two teams traded goals all night, and all but three of them were scored on the pow-er play. They went into the third period tied at 3-3, and that’s when it really got crazy.

DeGraaf and Corbett scored on the power play at 7:17 and 9:05, respectively, and the Vi-pers continued to lean on the Thunder. The game was in their control Justin Van Teter-ing — one of Red Deer’s top penalty killers — was whistled for roughing at 15:27. Then at 17:02, Vipers rookie Mathew Thiessen was called for charg-ing, giving the Thunder a two-man advantage.

The took full advantage as Wiese snapped home a shot through a crowd to make the score 5-4, and 21 seconds later, Crowther tied it up and the game went to overtime.

Red Deer killed off a pen-alty to start the extra four-on-four period, but was then given their own power play at 3:04 with Mark Kunitz off for hooking. At 3:22 deGraaf fired

a rebound into the open net.“We’d been playing really

good the whole third period, so we weren’t really worried about it, we knew we could get it done,” said deGraaf. “We didn’t want to start the season 0-2, this is a team we’re going to be playing a lot this year, so we wanted to send them a mes-sage and let them know that we’re going to come to play ev-ery time and they’re not going to beat us.”

The head coach was im-pressed with his team’s resil-iency in both games, but he’d prefer them to be front-run-ners.

“The thing I love and hate about this team is they battle back like crazy as soon as they’re down, but I say it that way because I don’t think they should ever be down,” said Cote. “They’re too good to be losing to certain teams in this league.”

The Vipers now head out on the road for the next two weeks, including in Medicine Hat on Saturday against the Cubs at 7:45 p.m.

● Red Deer was 5-for6 on the power play, Airdrie was 3-for10 ... Brooker Pret-ty Youngman, Connor Tu-dor, Bryce Honish and Mark McLeod scored for the Bisons in their 4-0 win on Friday as goalie Alex Bilton stopped all 49 shots he faced. Klay Munro stopped 33 of the 36 shots he faced in the Vipers’ net.

Celtics 25, Lightning 21The Hunting Hills Lightning

cannot wait for another crack at the St. Joesph’s Celtics.

The No. 5 ranked Lightning came within one penalty of upsetting the top-ranked tier II high school football team in the province out of Grande Prairie on Saturday night at Great Chief Park before losing 25-21.

With four minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Hunting Hills quarterback Brett Bar-rett hit receiver Tanner Ol-stead in the end zone for what appeared to the go-ahead score, but it was called back on one of the few holding pen-alties called all night. On the next play, Barrett threw again to the end zone, but this time was intercepted by St. Joe’s defensive back Carter Gordon.

Though it was just an ex-hibition game and does not count towards the standings, it felt like a lot more.

“This was the real deal here

tonight, that’s the No. 1-ranked team for a reason, and that’s the emotion every football game should have,” said Light-ning head coach Kyle Sedg-wick. “We can’t hang our hat on that one penalty, we had lots of chances.”

Barrett did finish with one passing and one rushing touch-down while running Brandt Burzuk had the other major on the ground to open the second half. Linden Petersen caught Barrett’s touchdown pass.

The two teams traded scores all game while dishing out some big hits. It is the kind of game that has Sedgwick looking forward to a rematch.

“If we ever see them again, it’s the provincial final,” he said. “We needed that, now we have to reset our focus and make sure we get there by fin-ishing our league play strong.”

The Lightning return to league play this Friday when they host the Lindsay Thurb-er Raiders at 7 p.m. at Great Chief Park.

● The H.J. Cody Lakers rolled to a 42-12 win over the Ponoka Broncs in Sylvan Lake on Friday.

Running back Landon Rosene had three touchdowns — two running and on receiv-ing — for the Lakers while Michael Smyth, Chase Elwood and Kyle Eckenweller had a touchdown catch each.

Devon Fischer had a 52-yard interception return for a touchdown for the Broncs and Kellyn Pritchard added one on the ground.

Rosene finished with 153 yards on seven carries, in-cluding a 96-yard score, and one catch for 66 yards. Lakers quarterback Skylar Selk was six-for-10 for 150 yards four touchdowns and an intercep-tion.

The Lakers host the Stettler Wildcats on Friday at 4 p.m. while the Broncs host the Camrose Trojans on Thursday at 4 p.m.

Stampeders win defensive battle over LionsBY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — The return of running back Jon Cornish and the resurgence of the Calgary Stampeders defence af-ter a couple of porous performances were the difference in a 14-7 win over the B.C. Lions on Saturday.

The highest-scoring team in the CFL couldn’t muster a touchdown, but Stampeders kicker Rene Paredes made four of his six field-goal attempts and Cornish rushed for 156 yards to get the team into scoring position.

Calgary’s defence didn’t give up touchdown after the opening drive of the game.

With the Lions marching downfield late in the fourth, linebacker Keon Raymond intercepted quarterback Kevin Glenn to eliminate the chance this defensive battle would go to over-time.

Cornish sat out last week’s loss to the Montreal Alouettes to rest a sore neck. Calgary quarterback Drew Tate used him early and often as the CFL’s star running back carried the ball 20 times.

“He’s a hero I guess is what he is,” Tate said. “He really is just unbeliev-able.”

Calgary remained atop the CFL and West Division standings at 11-2, while the Lions dropped to 7-6 in fourth spot in the division.

B.C. edged Calgary 25-24 at McMa-hon Stadium on Aug. 1, so the season series between the two clubs will be decided Nov. 7.

Tate was 12-for-23 in passing for 162 yards in his second straight start for Calgary this season.

Needing more time to recover from a sprained ankle and stretched knee ligament he sustained Sept. 13, Bo Levi Mitchell dressed as the Calgary’s No. 3, but did not play.

Lions backup quarterback John Beck scored B.C.’s lone touchdown on the first drive of the game on a two-yard plunge. Glenn completed 14 of 25 passes for 127 yards. He was inter-cepted in the first half by Calgary’s Brandon Smith.

Beck was inserted late in the third quarter for two series when Glenn went to the sidelines to put an ice bag on his arm. Beck completed two of four passes for 11 yards before Glenn re-turned to finish out the game.

B.C. also conceded a two-point safe-ty in the third quarter.

Tate combined moments of bril-liance, which included a 60-yard com-pletion to Maurice Price in the first half, with a few duds. He overthrew Price and fellow receivers Joe West and Brad Sinopoli when they were open.

“I was seeing the field a lot better than I was last week. I missed some throws,” Tate said. “I can’t keep miss-ing throws and giving the other team an opportunity to capitalize on that.

“That was a fight. Those guys are good over there. They’re tough. We’re just excited to get the win. That’s what it’s all about. That’s why we play. That’s why we showed up. That’s why you all showed up.”

Cornish said it felt like an odd game because his contributions didn’t turn into touchdowns.

“I don’t really care if I score touch-downs, but I want someone to score touchdowns,” Cornish said. “As an of-fence, we like putting up points and that gives you something to celebrate.

“Without being on the field for any points that were scored — I’m not on the field-goal team — it was a little weird as a game.”

Averaging just 15 points against in the first 10 games of this season, the Stampeders allowed 33 and 31 points in their last two games respectively.

Calgary defensive co-ordinator Rich Stubler said earlier this week he want-ed his players to “get their mojo back.”

“It was just little things we weren’t doing on that first drive,” Raymond said. “We came to the sideline and started correcting those little things. We turned it up another notch after that drive.

“The thing was to make sure we lined up in gaps because they’re a big, heavy-running team. When they throw Rolly (Lumbala) in and they have a good running back in Andrew Har-

ris, we had to make sure we solidified those gaps and we just weren’t doing that on the first drive.”

Harris ran for 76 yards on 12 car-ries, but injured his ankle in the fourth quarter. Lions head coach Mike Benev-ides said Harris would require an MRI to determine the severity of his injury.

“It started exactly as we wanted it to,” the Lions coach said of the game. “You keep that team to field goals, you should have a chance, but it wasn’t to be tonight.”

With Calgary trailing 7-3 at halftime, Paredes missed from 45 yards early in the second half.

But the CFL’s special teams player of the year in 2013 then sandwiched field goals from 35 and 43 yards around the two-point safety conceded by the Lions to Calgary an 11-7 lead after the third quarter.

His 51-yard attempt in the first half

was blocked by B.C.’s Eric Taylor, but Paredes was good from 24 yards in the first quarter and 34 in the fourth.

The Stampeders face only West Di-vision opponents in their final five games of the regular season. They’re in Saskatchewan to face the Roughriders (9-4) on Friday before entering their second bye week of the season.

“We have to play B.C. again, Sas-katchewan twice and Winnipeg twice,” Cornish pointed out. “B.C.’s going to be ready to play us. They know what we can do.

“Saskatchewan and Winnipeg are going to be in position to know what we can do because we’re playing them back-to-back. We have some tough slug-ging in the next few weeks.”

The Lions take on the host Hamilton Tiger-Cats (5-7) on Saturday and are at home to the Ottawa Redblacks a week later.

JUNIOR B HOCKEY ROUNDUP


SASKATOON — Kale Kessy hopes to one day provide the grit the Edmon-ton Oilers have been missing from their lineup in recent years.

Kessy tried to show what he can do playing left wing for the Oilers in 5-0 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Sun-day in pre-season action.

He rocked Blackhawks defenceman David Rundblad to the ice in the sec-ond period, which drew a lot of cheers from the 10,303 onlookers in atten-dance at Saskatoon’s Credit Union Cen-tre, and a couple more crowd-pleasing hits followed from the second-year pro.

“I just have to play my role,” said Kessy. “I just have to keep it simple and finish my checks.”

“Kale has had a good train-ing camp,” said Oilers coach Dal-las Eakins. “He is a kid that worked extremely hard this summer on his strength, his conditioning, his speed...He has worked a ton on his skating, and he has come a long, long way, and he has moved himself up the depth chart. We like the way he fights for every shift, and he is just trying to stay another day right now.”

Scott Darling made 26 saves to earn the shutout in goal for the Blackhawks.

Garrett Ross and Teuvo Teravainen

scored 54 seconds apart in the second period to give Chicago (2-2) a 3-0 lead. Bryan Bickel scored in the first period, while Andrew Shaw and Kris Versteeg rounded out the scoring for the Black-hawks in the third.

Richard Backman made 17 stops in goal for the Oilers (2-2).

Kessy knows the Oilers aren’t look-ing at him for his offensive ability. Last season, he collected two goals, four as-sists and 88 penalty minutes playing 54 games with the Oklahoma City Barons in the American Hockey League.

The six-foot-three, 212-pound grind-er spent most of his four seasons in the Western Hockey League with the Medicine Hat Tigers and often found himself watching because of league discipline. The Tigers traded him to the Vancouver Giants early in the 2012-13 season after he received a 12-game suspension for a head hit he delivered to Lethbridge Hurricanes defenceman Ryan Pilon.

For the moment, Kessy is trying to extend his stay as long as possible with Edmonton. He knows he has to focus on what he can control to convince the team’s management to keep him on their NHL roster.

“It is up to the brass to decide,” said Kessy. “I just have to go out every day and work hard every day like I can. Ev-erything else will take care of itself.”


Sonny Gray pitched Oakland into baseball’s last playoff spot, shutting out King Felix this October.

David Price delivered the AL Central crown to Detroit, St. Louis scratched ace Adam Wainwright after wrapping up the NL Central.

And on a final day that featured Derek Jeter’s farewell, Jordan Zim-mermann injected even more drama by throwing a no-hitter preserved when Washington rookie Steven Souza Jr. made a catch for the ages.

“Just an epic day for an epic sea-son,” Nationals outfielder Denard Span said.

Going into Sunday’s first pitch, not a single post-season matchup was set — plus the possibility of three tiebreak-ers loomed. Hours later, the brackets were all settled in Game 162.

Gray blanked Texas 4-0, helping the shaky Athletics hold off Felix Hernan-dez and the Seattle Mariners for the second AL wild-card slot. The A’s will open this year’s post-season at Kansas City on Tuesday night, with Jon Lester facing the Royals’ James Shields.

The Royals went 5-2 against the A’s this season — both losses were to Les-ter. For Oakland slugger Adam Dunn, it will be his first playoff appearance. He’s been in 2,001 games, the most by any active major leaguer without reaching the post-season.

“I played scenarios of this day out in my head probably a thousand times,” Dunn said.

On Wednesday night, Madison Bum-garner and San Francisco visit Edin-son Volquez and Pittsburgh in the NL wild-card game.

The Pirates lost their chance to catch the Cardinals with a 4-1 loss to Cincinnati. No matter, they’ll be back home at PNC Park, where they won the

wild-card game last season.

“ I e x -pect it to

be like last year: So loud you can’t hear the ball off the bat,” said Josh Har-rison, who almost won the NL batting title.

Both of the best-of-five AL division series begin Thursday. It’ll be the wild-card winner at the Los Angeles Angels and the Tigers at Baltimore.

In NL openers Friday, the wild card plays at Washington and the Cardinals are at the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Price, acquired by Detroit in late July to win big games, stopped Minne-sota 3-0. The Tigers needed a victory to close out the Royals for the division.

“On a day where we needed an enor-mous outing after giving up 20-some-thing runs over the previous two, he stepped right up. He showed why he’s a true No. 1,” first-year Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said.

At Fenway Park, the World Series champion Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees were long gone from the playoff race. But the place was packed for Jeter’s goodbye.

On his final swing, Jeter chopped an RBI single. He left to a rousing ovation, stopping to embrace Boston pitcher Clay Buchholz on the mound.

The 40-year-old Jeter left after 20 years with 3,465 hits, five World Series rings and no regrets.

“I felt like the time was right,” he said. “My emotions were so all over the place on Thursday in New York, and when I got here I was ready; I was ready for my career to be over with.”

The Nationals punctuated a season in which they had the NL’s best record with an exclamation point — the first no-hitter in team history.

Zimmermann was in total control until two outs in the ninth, when Chris-tian Yelich hit a deep drive. Souza, in left field as a defensive replacement, raced back into the gap and made a sensational diving grab.

Zimmermann winced when the ball was hit, figuring it was bound to be a “no-doubt double.”

“And then he comes out of nowhere and makes that catch,” Zimmermann said.

The visi t ing Red Deer Rebels White were thumped 8-1 by the Rocky Mountain Raiders in Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League play Sun-day.

Elijah Funkhouser potted the lone Red Deer goal. Justin Verveda and Duncan Hughes com-bined to make 38 saves for the Rebels White, outshot 46-21.

The Red Deer Rebels Black also had no luck against the Raiders, who were 10-3 winners Saturday at the Arena. Deegan Moffard, Quaid Hartley and Caden Dep-ta notched the Red Deer goals.

The Rebels Black goaltending duo of Wy-att Argent and Steven Arthur turned aside 36 shots in a losing cause.

Gordon punches ticket to next round in Chase


DOVER, Del. — Jeff Gordon won the third race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship for an automatic spot in the 12-driver field that ad-vanced to the next round.

Gordon was in control in the closing laps Sunday at Dover International Speedway and joined Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano as the three drivers who were guaranteed a berth in the next Chase round with victories.

“It wasn’t about the points. It wasn’t about just squeezing by to get to the next round,” Gordon said after his fourth win of the season and 92nd over-

all. “It was about making a statement. I don’t know how you make a bigger statement than what this team just did right there.”

Kurt Busch, AJ Allmendinger, Greg Biffle and Aric Almirola were elimi-nated from championship contention. Four more drivers will be eliminated in the next three-race segment that starts next week at Kansas Speedway.

Kasey Kahne was the last driver to make the Chase cut. Kevin Harvick al-so advanced, along with Jimmie John-son, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman.

Hamlin was the lone driver of the bottom four entering Dover to race his way into the top 12. The points will reset for the Kansas, Charlotte and Talladega.

“The tracks just keep getting better for us as the Chase goes on,” Hamlin

said. “This is going to be a great come-back story.”

Kahne survived after falling multi-ple laps down and needed every point he could muster to crack the top 12.

Gordon won for the fifth time at Do-ver and first since 2001, leading four Hendrick Motorsports drivers into the next round.

“I don’t know what I’ve found, but I think a lot of it has to do with (crew chief) Alan Gustafson and all the guys on this No. 24 team,” Gordon said. “They’ve just giving me such an awe-some race car team this year. I’m hav-ing so much fun.”

Team Penske was rolling, winning four of the last five races dating to Bristol, including the first two Chase races. Keselowski was second at Do-ver to continue his strong Chase effort through three races.

Johnson, Logano and Kenseth com-pleted the top five at Dover. Chase drivers took 11 of the top 13 spots.

Harvick led a whopping 223 laps from his seventh pole of the season un-til he suffered tire woes and finished 13th.

“We can beat every car on the race track. We just need some good luck,” Harvick said. “If we get some luck, we’ll win races and have a shot at the championship.”

Kurt Busch, the 2004 Cup champi-on, failed to advance in his milestone 500th career start.

“It just was tight the last 100 miles,” he said. “You can’t expect to advance running 15th. You have to be more competitive.”

Allmendinger fell two points shy of the cutoff. Busch was six off, Biffle seven and Almirola 18.

Kenneth was born in Heywood, Rochdale, Lancashire England to Arthur and Violet May Hickford, and immigrated to Canada at the age of 15. He was married to Rosina (McIlwaine) in 1961, and following Rosina’s death in 1992, found love again and married Mavis (Durstling) in 1995. Kenneth embraced the love of both combined families, and enjoyed the active life brought by all of their children and their families. Kenneth was a family and career man, community volunteer, musician and a lifelong learner.

He also served with 749 Communication Troop in Red Deer (Communication Reserve) as their commanding offi cer. Upon retirement from the regular forces in 1979, Kenneth began his second career, working until the time of his death at the Bowden Penitentiary as Chief of Institutional Services. Outside work and family, Kenneth had many volunteer interests and passions. Kenneth loved to travel, particularly to his native England and with Mavis in their motorhome. As a boy, he was a King’s Scout, and later a Scout leader. He served the Army Cadet League of Canada as president and treasurer, sang with the Innisfail “Senior Serenaders”, served many churches as organist and choir director, was a member of the Friends of Innisfail Library Society and a member of Royal Canadian Legion.

Johnson retains flyweight title

at UFC 178BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — Demetri-ous Johnson retained his flyweight title Saturday night at UFC 178, submit-ting Chris Cariaso in the second round.

Johnson easily scored a takedown in the first round and stunned Cariaso with a looping right hook, followed by a knee to the jaw as the horn sounded to end the round.

Johnson kept the pres-sure on in the second and gained top control after Car-iaso’s slip. Johnson swiftly manoeuvred into side con-trol, landed a few elbows and secured a Kimura, forc-ing Cariaso to tap out at 2:29 of the second.

“I felt good. It was a great fight,” Johnson said. “I’m just trying to get better at my ground game.”

Johnson improved to 21-2-1 with his fifth straight title defence. Cariaso dropped to 17-6.

In the co-main event, lightweight Donald Cer-rone moved closer to a title shot with a unanimous de-cision over Eddie Alvarez. Cerrone used powerful leg kicks to wear down Alvarez, winning 29-28 on all three

scorecards.“There’s no quit in this

dog,” Cerrone said. “If you’re going to beat me, you better do it in the first.”

In a battle of rising feath-erweights, Conor McGregor made short work of Dustin Poirier, earning a TKO victory in the first round. McGregor improved to 16-2, and Poirier fell to 16-4.

“I don’t just knock them out, I pick the round,” McGregor said. “When featherweights get hit by me it’s a whole new ballgame.”

Yoel Romero survived a back and forth brawl to beat Tim Kennedy by TKO, and No. 1 women’s bantam-weight contender Cat Zinga-no moved into position for a title shot with a third-round TKO over Amanda Nunes.

Former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz highlighted the undercard with a first-round TKO over Takeya Mizugaki. Jorge Masvidal, Stephen Thomp-son, Brian Ebersole, Kevin Lee and Manvel Gamburyan also won.

On the preliminary card, Stephen Thompson defeat-ed Patrick Cote of Rimous-ki, Que., by unanimous de-cision. Judges scored the bout 29-28, 29-28, 30-27 in fa-vour of Thompson.

Jeter goes out with a hit, raises career

average to .310BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — On the last day of his remarkable ca-reer, Derek Jeter performed one final amazing feat.

He brought Yankees and Red Sox fans together.

The rich and often an-tagonistic rivalry showed its softer side Sunday: A pre-game ceremony honouring New York’s retiring captain produced numerous stand-ing ovations from a crowd filled with shirts from both teams. Jeter tipped his hel-met to fans when he left the game for a pinch runner in the third inning.

He had no idea that past captains of local pro teams would come out of the Red Sox dugout to embrace him as he stood on the outfield grass just behind shortstop during the ceremony.

“It was hard to envision what would happen because this is a place where we’ve been an enemy for a long, long time,” Jeter said, “and for them to flip the switch this last time coming here made me feel extremely proud.”

One by one, the captains came, starting with Carl Yastrzemski. He was Bos-ton’s left fielder on Oct. 2, 1978 in one of the rivalries’ most memorable games. Captain Carl could only look up as a much-less accom-plished Yankees shortstop, light-hitting Bucky Dent, lofted a three-run homer that lifted the Yankees to a 5-4 win in a one-game AL East playoff.

“I started thinking about how great this rivalry has been over the years and all the things that have hap-pened — the playoff games, everything,” Yankees man-ager Joe Girardi said.

“And I don’t know how people could really unite a crowd like he did today. Such big rivals, so much his-tory between the teams, but you would have thought that it was one team in a sense today.”

The other former cap-tains who embraced Jeter during the half-hour cere-mony were Jason Varitek of the Red Sox, Bobby Orr of the Bruins, Troy Brown of the New England Patriots and Paul Pierce of the Celt-ics.

At the start of the cere-mony, the date “SEPTEM-BER 28 2014” was removed, one character at a time, from the hand-operated scoreboard on the left-field wall and replaced by “WITH RESPECT 2 DEREK JETER.” Then the “S” in “RESPECT” was replaced by the No. 2.

Jeter, the designated hitter, waved his cap to a crowd as he left the dugout for his 153rd game at Fen-way, including the playoffs, breaking a tie with Lou Gehrig and Mantle for most among Yankees.

Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia presented a base with a No. 2 and blue pinstripes on it to Jeter. He also received a green sign with white characters like those on the Green Mon-ster scoreboard saying “RE2PECT.”

A video was shown of Jeter being doused in the Yankees clubhouse as part of the “Ice Bucket Chal-lenge” inspired by former Boston College baseball captain Pete Frates to raise awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease, a condi-tion Frates is afflicted with. Then Frates rode onto the infield grass in his wheel-chair and Jeter came in to greet him.

“I’ve been a part of some chants here at Fen-way Park,” Jeter said with a laugh,

“but I don’t know if any of them were good.”

After his chop single to third baseman Garin Cec-chini — his 3,465th hit and 1,311th RBI — Jeter got a standing ovation as Brian McCann came out to pinch run and he slowly ran off the field to complete his 20th big league season, pointed to the Boston dug-out and embraced pitcher Clay Buchholz.

He said he told Buchholz, “I know this is kind of odd but I just want to say I’ve enjoyed competing against you over the years and good luck.”

Approaching the Yan-kees dugout after the team’s last at-bat by a player with single-digit uniform num-ber, the 40-year-old who has worn No. 2 since his rookie season lifted his helmet to recognize the cheers.

Canada’s Morneau wins NL batting title, sits last two games

of the seasonCanadian Justin Morneau

won the National League batting title, though he wasn’t included in the Colo-rado Rockies’ lineup for the last two games of the sea-son.

Morneau, from New Westminster, B.C., finished

with a .319 average after go-ing 2 for 3 with a two-run homer Friday in Colorado’s 7-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Pittsburgh’s Josh Harri-son finished second at .315. Harrison entered Sunday’s games at .318 but he went 0 for 4 in the Pirates’ 4-1 loss to Cincinnati.

Morneau is the first Ca-nadian to win a batting title since Larry Walker won the last of his three titles with the Rockies in 2001.

At least 31 people believed dead in eruption at Mount Ontake volcano in JapanTOKYO — Finally reaching the ash-

covered summit of a still-erupting vol-cano in central Japan, rescue workers made a grim discovery Sunday: 31 ap-parently dead people, some reportedly buried in knee-deep ash.

Four victims were brought down and confirmed dead, one day after Mount Ontake’s big initial eruption, said Takehiko Furukoshi, a Nagano prefecture crisis-management official. The 27 others were listed as having heart and lung failure, the customary way for Japanese authorities to de-scribe a body until police doctors can examine it.

Officials provided no details on how

they may have died.It was the first fatal eruption in mod-

ern times at 3,067-meter (10,062-foot) Mount Ontake, a popular climbing destination about 210 kilometres (130 miles) west of Tokyo on the main Japa-nese island of Honshu.

A similar eruption occurred in 1979, but no one died.

Rescue helicopters hovered over ash-covered mountain lodges and vast landscapes that looked a ghostly grey, like the surface of the moon, devoid of nearly all colour but the bright orange of rescue workers’ jumpsuits.

Japanese media reported that some of the bodies were found in a lodge near the summit and that others were buried in ash up to 50 centimetres (20 inches) deep. Police said only two of the four confirmed dead had been identified. Both were men, ages 23 and 45.


The driver of an 18-wheel tractor-trailer that collided with a bus and killed four members of a Texas com-munity college softball team told in-vestigators he had been distracted by something in his cabin before the ac-cident, authorities said Sunday.

Other Investigators at the site said Sunday that there were no signs of the driver braking or taking evasive ac-tion as the truck veered through the median for 820 feet (250 metres) before smashing into the oncoming bus.

The truck was northbound on Inter-state 35 near Davis, Oklahoma Friday night when it swerved across the me-dian and smashed into the bus carry-ing 15 members of the North Central Texas College women’s softball team and driven by their coach.

The truck, driven by Russell Staley, 53, of Saginaw, Texas, continued off the interstate. Staley was treated for injuries and released. There were no charges pending against him.

“He (Staley) said he was distracted by something in the cabin,” said Okla-homa Highway Patrol Capt. Ronnie Hampton, who declined to say what the distraction was. He said that inves-

tigators do not necessarily agree with Staley’s explanation.

The Highway Patrol will eventually turn over the results of its investiga-tion to the local district attorney, who will decide whether to pursue criminal charges.

Hampton also said investigators had obtained search warrants to collect evidence from both the truck and the bus. Besides the deaths, a dozen peo-ple were injured in the crash, one of them critically. Oklahoma University Medical Center said the critically-in-jured player, Bailey Buchanan, 18, was upgraded to stable condition Sunday. Rachel Hitt, 19, remained in fair condi-tion at Norman Regional Hospital, a spokeswoman said.

The team was returning from a scrimmage against Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma. The Texas college is located just south of the Oklahoma border in Gainesville.

Three of the players died at the scene and a fourth died at a hospital in nearby Sulphur, Oklahoma. The four players killed were identified by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol as Meagan Richardson, 19, Brooke Deckard, 20, Katelynn Woodlee, 18, and Jaiden Pel-ton 20. All were from towns in North Texas.

Syria’s al-Qaida affiliate warns that war will reach West if airstrikes continue

Truck driver said he was distracted before crash

that killed college students


BEIRUT — The leader of al-Qaida’s Syria affiliate vowed Sunday that his group would “use all possible means” to fight back against airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition and warned that the conflict would reach Western coun-tries joining the alliance.

The U.S. views the affiliate, known as the Nusra Front, as a terrorist group, but Syrian rebels have long seen it as a potent ally against both the Islamic State extremist group -- which is the main target of the coalition -- and Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces.

Syrian rebels, activists and analysts have warned that targeting the Nusra Front will inject more chaos into the Syrian conflict and indirectly help As-sad by striking one of his main adver-saries. The U.S. insists it wants Assad to step down, but is not targeting his forces, which are best placed to ben-efit from the airstrikes.

In a 25-minute audio recording, Nus-ra Front leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani portrayed the U.S.-led coalition as a “Crusader alliance” against Sunni Muslims and vowed to fight back.

“We will use all that we have to defend the people of Syria...from the Crusader alliance,” al-Golani said. “And we will use all possible means to achieve this end,” he said, without of-fering more details.

He went on to warn Western coun-tries against taking part in the alliance in words that echoed those of the late founder of al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden.

“This is what will cause the battle

to be transported to the hearts of your own homes; because Muslims will not stand idly by and watch Muslims be bombed and killed in their countries, while you are safe on your countries. The price of war will not be paid by your leaders alone. You will pay the biggest price,” he said.

The recording appeared genuine and corresponded with Associated Press reporting.

The United States and five Arab al-lies launched an air campaign against Islamic State fighters in Syria on Tues-day with the aim of ultimately crushing the extremist group, which has created a proto-state spanning the Syria-Iraq border. The U.S. has been carrying out airstrikes against the group in neigh-bouring Iraq since August.

Some of the initial strikes target-ed the Nusra Front, hitting several of its facilities and killing dozens of its fighters. Washington said it was trying to take out an al-Qaida cell known as the Khorasan Group that was actively plotting attacks against Americans and Western interests.

Syrian rebels have expressed an-ger at the coalition airstrikes, both be-cause they have targeted the Nusra Front -- which they see as an ally -- and because they are not hitting pro-government forces, which are the best placed to benefit from any rolling back of the Islamic State group. The Nusra Front’s ultimate goal is to impose Is-lamic law in Syria. But unlike the Is-lamic State group, it has fought along-side other rebel groups, seeing the overthrow of Assad as its first priority.

Al-Golani warned the airstrikes would weaken the rebels.
