The call of the wild in Cranbrook

AnnAlee Gr AntTownsman Staff

There are few words that accurately describe the quickness of Dr. Jane Goodall’s trip to the Kootenays. Whirl-wind is one that comes to mind. But the legacy she left and the knowl-edge and ideas implant-ed into the minds of youth and adults alike is even harder to describe.

Goodall, affection-ately known as Dr. Jane to the young people in-volved in her Roots and Shoots program, was the keynote speaker at a variety of events on September 30 and Oc-tober 1. She met with educators, business owners, children and more. Not only did she promote Roots and Shoots, but she talked of her illustrious career as a primatologist through engaging storytelling that had audiences of 600 people hanging off her every word.

To the thrill of all au-diences, Goodall began each lecture with the

pantoot, the call of the chimpanzee. It was re-turned enthusiastically by both adults and chil-dren.

Goodall said her story began as a child who loved animals. She told the Key City The-atre crowd Sunday eve-ning of her mother’s support. She once went to bed with a handful of earthworms, and her mother turned that funny experience into a chance to teach a young Jane Goodall where the worms really belong – in the garden – and al-though she thought they would enjoy a snooze in her human bed, they would die if kept away from their home.

“I was just lucky I had an extraordinary

mother,” she said. When Jane was 11 to

12 years old, she first read Tarzan perched in a beech tree at home. It was that story that in-spired her to go to Afri-ca later on in life.

“I fell passionately in love with Tarzan, and what did he do? He flip-pin’ married the wrong Jane,” she said to much laughter.

Goodall’s journey to Africa wasn’t a clear path. She was, after all, a girl in the 1960s and in-ternational travel was not common for women of her age. But again, her mother’s influence prevailed. She told her daughter to find a way, and Goodall did just that. She became a sec-retary and eventually got invited to holiday in Kenya by a friend. She worked as a waitress to save up money, in a story that is probably being reflected by hun-dreds of East Kootenay youth this very second.

Jane Goodall was in Cranbrook this past weekend. She shared her story, some words

of encouragement and reasons for hope.

It’s been a 12-year tradition for the local Home Hardware Build-ing Centre to host an an-nual golf recognition day for its vendors and suppliers.

This year owner Mar-tin Torgerson decided to add an additional “rec-ognition” event to the popular golf tourna-ment by asking golfers to make a donation on a dedicated hole that rec-ognized the A Clear View digital mammog-raphy campaign and its support of individuals facing a breast cancer diagnosis.

TORONTO — A new report says the arrival of U.S. retailer Target in Canada next year will take a bite out of the sales of several key ri-vals.

But Barclays Capital says other retailers that don’t overlap in their offerings may benefit from the increased traf-fic generated by the new stores.

In a report assessing the impact of Target’s arrival, the investment firm says Wal-Mart, Sears Canada, Old Navy, Loblaw’s Joe Fresh brand and Cana-dian Tire are the retail-ers most at risk.

Barclays says Sears is the most at risk of the general retailers with significant overlap in its offerings and 37 per cent of its locations less than a kilometre away from a Target location.

The report calls dis-count retailer Dollara-ma Inc. a special case

among retailers as they offer something differ-ent from Target.

Barclays says it be-lieves Dollarama will “benefit when a Target opens nearby.’’

Canadian Tire is ex-pected to take a hit, but Barclays analyst Jim Durran notes that when Wal-Mart first launched in Canada, Canadian Tire was able to recover by the following year.

“There is not doubt that Canadian Tire will suffer some sales ero-sion to Target, particu-larly in Target’s per-ceived ‘go to’ categories such as housewares, apparel and seasonal merchandise,’’ the re-port said.

However Barclays noted that Canadian Tire’s most loyal cus-tomers generate a ma-jority of its sales and just 30 per cent of the Canadian retailer’s stores will be within five kilometres of a Tar-get.

Target will bring the competition to other retailers, Barclays says

When she got to Kenya, Goodall did not overstay her welcome, instead taking the op-portunity of a job in Nairobi. It was there she met famed archeologist Louis Leakey, whom she impressed with her knowledge of animals despite never setting foot in a university.

“Nothing can com-pare to that experience of moving away from England,” she said. “It was there that Louis Leakey decided I was the one that he was looking for for years.”

Leakey gave Goodall a job as a secretary, and started looking for funding to send young Goodall to Gombe Stream National Park to study chimpanzee be-haviour. It was a chal-lenge, as Goodall was a young woman. For the first four months of her time in Gombe, Goodall was joined by her moth-er.

Goodall struggled in those first months, un-able to find the break-through she was hoping for. She felt pressure to observe something truly remarkable.

“I knew that if I didn’t see anything ex-citing before the money ran out, that I would have let Louis Leakey down,” she said. Her mother jumped in, pointing out little curi-osities displayed by the chimps – the way they interacted, their family patterns. “She boosted my morale.”

After her mother left, Goodall finally saw the breakthrough. Peering through binoculars one day, she spotted a chimp poke a twig into a termite mound, wait a few moments and then remove it, sucking off the termites one by one with his lips. He then picked a branch, stripped it of its leaves, and used that to poke into the mound, fishing for termites. She had just shattered the illu-sion of man the tool-maker.

The finding was so remarkable that Leakey was able to secure more funding. He even sent a film crew to document Goodall, which was im-portant because Good-

all lacked a university education.

Upon return, Leakey decided Goodall had to get that piece of paper – but there was no time for a Bachelor of Educa-tion. She went straight to a doctorate in ethol-ogy at Cambridge Uni-versity.

During her time at Gombe, Goodall also noticed aggression in chimpanzees that had never been reported be-fore. She was shocked when other scientists told her not to report her findings.

“Some of these pos-tures are identical to ours,” she said. “There were scientists who told me, ‘Jane, you should play that down.’”

Goodall didn’t. In-stead, she thought about the connection between violence amongst chimps and warfare amongst man, and the potential for good and evil in a human being.

“It’s up to us to grow one and suppress the other,” she said. “There isn’t a sharp line be-tween us and the ani-mal kingdom.”

Goodall’s studies also saw her be accused of what she calls the greatest sin — anthro-pomorphism, the giving of human traits to ani-mals. This because she opted to give the chimps she studied names rath-er than numbers, as was common practice at the time.

“Animals indeed are much more like us than scientists would let us believe,” Goodall said. She remembers as a child studying her dog named Rusty. She cred-its the dog with teach-ing her that animals do have personalities.

When Goodall began researching chimpan-zees at Gombe in 1960, she said there were about three million of the animals in 21 differ-ent countries. That number dwindled to 300,000 due to the bushmeat trade, forest destruction and more. There are only about 100 chimps in Gombe now.

Buck kills dog in KimberleyC A R o LYn G R A n t

Daily Bulletin

A Townsite woman, Tage Young, is warning pet owners about tak-ing their animals out at night after her one-year-old Airedale Terri-er was killed by a deer early Monday morning.

“It was my pup,” Young said. “She has colitis and has to go out on a regular basis. I’ve been working evenings so she is on a schedule to go out quite late. At about 1:30, she whined to go out.

“I got the flashlight and followed her out.”

Young says that she

always takes her flash-light out to shine the way to the dog pen where her dog was trained to go. Her pup was not on a leash but was very well trained to come when called and go only the short dis-tance to the pen. Un-fortunately, Young didn’t get an opportu-nity to call out to her terrier.

“She went right up the four stairs, her two front paws hit the grass and a buck came out of nowhere and gutted her like a fish,” said an emotional Young.

She took the Aire-

dale to the vet but the dog died on the way.

“She didn’t charge the deer or bark at it. She just took a step for-ward to go to the dog pen.”

Young says she wor-ries about what would have happened if her mother, who is elderly

with limited vision, had taken the dog out.

“I guess I should have had my girl on a leash to go that short distance, but she was well trained to come when called and we were going straight to the dog pen. I had a flashlight. My dogs are never outside loose. I am always with them when they go out to the pen. They are always leashed when I walk them until I get onto the Lois Creek Trails.

“I thought she would be safe if I was with her. I’m just concerned that a person might go out-

side, maybe an elderly person, and get jumped without even seeing the deer. These animals are in rut and fully aggres-sive, protecting their territory. I was eight feet from the dog, six feet from the deer, but I didn’t see it in time.”

Young says that up to now she has been very opposed to the deer cull, and still doesn’t think most deer are a danger, but she does worry about bucks in the rut.

“I was totally against the cull. Now I don’t know how I feel about it,” she said.

Cranbrook fire-fighters will now offer fire protection and emergency services to all homes within 13 ki-lometres of the fire hall.

City council made the decision at its Mon-day, October 1 meet-ing.

The properties brought into Cran-brook’s fire protection area are in Booth Creek, Westview Estates, Stan-

dard Hill and Gold Creek.

The change was made to ease individu-al requests from prop-erty owners seeking re-ductions to their insur-ance premiums.

In the past, the in-

Submit tedOn Saturday, Sept. 22, Evolu-

tion Martial Arts held their first annual Fisher Peak Challenge Spar-athon at Selkirk Secondary School gymnasium in Kimberley.

The event was a gruelling 2,880 seconds — or 48 one-minute rounds — of sparring in a friendly atmosphere, which equals the same height as Fisher Peak in me-tres.

The event was held to raise money to help 14-year-old Jenna Homeniuk, who is currently in Al-berta Children’s Hospital receiving treatment for leukemia.

There were 20 participants who took part in the Spar-athon, with members not only from Evo-lution Martial Arts, but with a number from the Rocky Mountain Academy of Martial Arts, includ-ing Guru Joel Huncar, who gra-ciously offered the support of some of his members to spar in the event.

The event was a great success not only for Jenna, but for the spir-

it of friendship, co-operation and perseverance shown during the sparring.

Event organisers Simon Wa-chon and Robyn Cockell would like to give special thanks to every-one who took part, but especially to Bella (who at just four years old completed the whole spar-athon and raised over $400), to Joel from RMAMA, and to Mike Honeyman of Arrow Installations, who also took part and generously matched the amount of $2027.11 raised on the day, to send Jenna $4,054.22 in total for the event.

All the event participants hope the extra money will come in handy for Jenna and her family while they are living with treat-ment and the hardships that go with it. They know Jenna is a very positive young lady, and they all want Jenna to keep her chin and her trademark thumb up.

Les Misérables has been in the news this year, with a new major motion picture in the works. It’s also going to hit the stage in Kim-berley, when Selkirk Secondary raises the curtains on February 13, 2013.

Directed by Bob McCue and Sven Heyde, the team that brought The Sound of Music to the McKim stage in 2011, Les Mis finished auditions in the middle of Sep-tember and is already into the second week of rehearsals.

“We have a tremendous cast,” said McCue of the more than 40 students involved in this produc-tion.

“This is the largest cast in a Selkirk production that we’ve seen, and it also includes many younger actors. We’re also excited that we were able to fill every role with SD6 students. This is proof that the musical theatre programs in Kimberley are thriving and growing.”

Heyde, in charge of music again, is thrilled to be working with such a great group of sing-ers.

The orchestra will also be very strong, with a few exceptional stu-dents and over 15 local semi- and professional musicians volunteer-ing their time.

“The music for this show is in-credibly beautiful, and much of it is very difficult,” Heyde said. “So far we’ve seen a phenomenal work ethic from the actors. It’s going to be a great show.”

Set in the early 1800s in France, Les Misérables follows the hero, Jean Valjean, as he goes from a life of crime to become a noble, hon-est man. He is doggedly pursued

throughout the show by police inspector Javert.

Along the way he adopts the young girl Cosette from her dying mother Fantine, a former employee at his factory, and raises her as his daughter.

Upon reaching adult-hood, Cosette falls in love with Marius, a student in Paris. Marius, however, is about to follow Enjolras,

the leader of the students, into a revolution.

All of these stories and more intertwine, and are propelled forward by Claude-Michel Schoen-berg’s incredible score.

Gustaf Hagland will play the role of Jean Valjean, with Gaetan Boué playing opposite him as In-spector Javert. Aria Siega will play Cosette, with

Emery Hoko playing as Young Cosette. Enjolras will be played by Clara Ma-cLeod, with Connor Klas-sen playing Marius. Eponine will be played by Devin Fikis, and Gemma Remple-Hockey will play Fantine. Gavroche will be played by Declan Arm-strong. The Thenardiers, whom audiences love to hate, will be played by

Blake Sharpe and Jordan Anderson.

No production could come off without an in-credibly strong team, and Les Mis is certainly no ex-ception.

Sioban Staplin will re-turn to do costumes, Penny Flegel will be in charge of props, Ryan Treber and his woodshop students at Sel-kirk will be building sets,

Tessa Rokosh will be cho-reographing the show, and Frida Viklund will be the photographer.

Les Misérables will play at McKim Theatre Febru-ary 13-16, 2013. Tickets will go on sale in the new year.

Please come join us for what we are confident will be an outstanding produc-tion.

Nicola Valley rancher Judith Guichon has been named B.C. Lieu-tenant Governor, as Sto:lo Grand Chief Ste-ven Point’s five-year term comes to an end.

Guichon runs the family cattle ranch in the Nicola Valley. She has served as president of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, a director of the Grassland Con-servation Council of B.C., and on provincial government task forces on ranching and species at risk.

“Mrs. Guichon has dedicated herself to her community, province and country,” Prime Minister Stephen Harp-er said in a statement Monday. “She is a leader in keeping British Co-lumbia’s agriculture and cattle industries envi-ronmentally sound and she has worked hard to promote and protect the ranchers of British Co-lumbia.”

Premier Christy Clark thanked Point for his work and congratu-lated Guichon.

“She has a deep ap-preciation for the histo-ry and traditions of Brit-

ish Columbia and has spent a lifetime ensur-ing that we all stay con-nected to our roots – particularly through her work with the B.C. Cat-tlemen’s Association,”  Clark said.

A while ago my son loaned me a book to read. It was one of those old-fash-ioned ones with pages made out of

paper and bound with card-boardy stuff. It felt good in my hands as I flicked through it; it even had illustrations. I placed it in the bathroom ready to be en-joyed. Our bathroom is probably the only fully tiled, air-conditioned library in town; I get things done in there.

That book is another one of those theoretic mas-terpieces by Gavin Men-zies, the retired British submarine captain who reckons that the Chinese were cir-cumnavigating the whole world before Christopher Columbus was even a gleam in his daddy’s eye. This time, Mr. Menzies is on about the Minoans of what is now Crete and the mysterious disappearance of Atlantis.

The trouble with real books is that they are awkward to pack around and so, after a pleasant 20 minutes or so reading one, I found the need to look up a word. I went in search of a dictionary: there are several in our house; I couldn’t find one of them, not even the whacking great beast that can give a grown man a hernia.

Anyway, after wasting an immense

amount of reading time, I headed for the computer and searched on Google. The word I needed was hubris: why Gavin threw that one at his readership, I have no idea – showing off, probably. I’ve already forgotten what it means.

Another word that caused me no end of trouble was ‘inchoate’. Now, I have had a fairly good, albeit lengthy, education and I did think that it did have something to do

with ‘early form’ or ‘rudi-mentary stage’ but that wasn’t what made me drop the loaned book and go looking for the newspaper.

I’d been having fairly good success with the Sun-day Times crossword puz-zle in the weekend Vancou-

ver Sun but had been brought to a halt in the top right-hand corner. I’d been stuck; but I now knew what was missing: incho-ate.

Of course, I couldn’t find the newspa-per. Had I put it downstairs with the other old papers? Had I ripped it up in a fit of pique? I spent a lot a time looking for the paper and, when I did find it at last and scrabbled through the wrinkled pages and discovered the crossword, I couldn’t find the spot where ‘inchoate’ should fit. How much time I spent on that fruitless chore I have no idea but Mr. Menzies’ book was forgotten for days.

I did however recall that the Greek Plato wrote about the destruction of Atlantis. He

claimed that he didn’t make up the story; he was merely reiterating old Greek leg-ends. Anyway, I had to show off to the guys when they came around last week. I told them all I knew of Gavin Menzies’ theories about the Minoans crossing the Atlantic and mining copper near Lake Superior but, like me, the guys had their doubts.

“Bet they had fun sailing up Niagara Falls,” commented Fred, then added, “or how did they find their way through the Mississippi delta?” He helped himself to some peanuts and maundered on. “Won-der if they founded New Orleans.”

“Nah!” argued Bill. He’s not the bright-est light on the Christmas tree. He said, “They couldn’t’ve founded it if it wasn’t there yet.”

It was about that time that I decided to give up on Gavin Menzies for a while. I’d grunted in agreement with him when I read his theories about the Chinese sailing all over hell’s half acre. I’d even accepted his suggestion that the Chinese got to Ven-ice and gave a boost to the Renaissance, but his statements that the Minoans not only crossed the Atlantic thousands of years ago but stole all the copper ore from Lake Superior were too much of a stretch. I decided that I was going to give up on him. There was to be a film about the Minoans on Knowledge the very next week; I think I’ll skip real books for the nonce.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

The Union of B.C. Municipalities convention is the political event of the year for B.C. party leaders, espe-

cially heading into a provincial election.Up first was NDP leader Adrian Dix,

who drew a large crowd of local politi-cians last week for the traditional early-morning spot that follows a long evening of receptions.

In contrast to his debut last year, a typical litany of political at-tacks on the B.C. Liberals, Dix declared he would take the high road. And perhaps mindful of Carole James’ downfall after her content-free speech to the 2010 UBCM convention, Dix set out policies.

He told delegates an NDP government would restore local authority over Metro Vancouver transit (no more toothless “mayor’s council”) and mountain resorts (no more Jumbo ski resort permits issued over local objections).

Dix would also let communities de-cide if they want public-private partner-ships for large construction projects. (Federal Heritage Minister James Moore later noted that if communities or prov-inces wish to decline federal funds due to this ideology, they are free to do so.)

Then Dix accused the B.C. Liberals of cutting forest inventory spending by 77 per cent over the last decade, meaning decisions like rebuilding the Burns Lake

mill are being made “in the dark” for the first time in a century.

That’s a damning charge, so I checked it against forest ministry budget records. As with all government programs, ac-counting changes can give a misleading appearance of large cuts or increases from year to year. And indeed forest in-ventory spending has bounced around during the B.C. Liberal term.

The budget for forest in-ventory staffing and opera-tion was about $8 million in 2001-02, rising as high as $15 million and falling to a low of $5.1 million in reces-sion-hit 2009-10. The esti-mate for the current fiscal year is $9.7 million, an in-

crease to try to catch up with the pine beetle disaster.

Crown forest inventory has indeed fallen behind  due to  rapid shifts caused by unprecedented insect and fire dam-age. But has spending been slashed as Dix claims? No. It has increased.

Next up was Premier Christy Clark, in full campaign mode. In the Gordon Campbell tradition, she brought the goodies out in her speech to close the convention. More than $200 million has been scraped together to “accelerate” capital projects at schools, hospitals and other facilities across the province.

These projects were already on the books, but they’ve been moved up for

obvious political purposes. Or at least the announcements will be moved up.

Four-laning of the last narrow stretch-es of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Kamloops will continue over 10 years. This is a federal-provincial project that will eventually be finished regardless of who is governing in Victoria or Ottawa. It includes some of the most staggeringly expensive road building in Canada, in the Kicking Horse Pass, a short section that could require two tunnels and up to 12 more bridges.

Clark also announced a long-range plan to replace the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River. It will likely be a bridge, because the tunnel is a bottleneck not only for Highway 99, but also for large ships going up-river. This is another proj-ect that will proceed eventually, and there is no specific financial commit-ment yet.

I haven’t found any outright false claims in Clark’s presentation, just the kind of creative accounting and blacktop politics familiar to B.C. voters. As always, I’m pleased to hear from people with specific corrections.

For now, call it a tie. Neither speech represents a proud moment for our pro-vincial leadership.

It is imaginable — not certain, but cer-tainly possible — that Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s strongman ruler since

1998, will lose the presidential election on 7 October. The most recent opinion polls showed that his challenger, Henrique Capriles, has closed the gap between them to only 5 per cent or less of the popular vote. If Chavez loses, would he actually hand over power peacefully?

He says he would, of course — but he also says that it’s an irrelevant ques-tion, since he will surely win. “It is written,” he tells his supporters reassuring-ly. But it is not. Chavez re-ally could lose this time, for 30 different opposition parties, ranging from the centre-left to the far right, have finally got together and chosen a single candidate for the presidency. Moreover, Capriles is no Mitt Romney: he knows that the votes of the poor matter.

In previous elections, the Venezuelan opposition railed against Chavez’s “social-ism” and Marxism, and lost. Capriles, by contrast, promises to retain most of Chavez’s social welfare policies, which have poured almost $300 billion over the last dozen years into programmes to im-prove literacy, extend high school educa-tion, improve health care, build housing for the homeless, and subsidise household purchases from groceries to appliances.

Capriles can make those promises be-cause, like Chavez, he can pay for them out of the country’s huge oil revenues. He HAS to make them, because poorer Vene-zuelans — and most Venezuelans are poor —won’t vote for a candidate who would end all that. But Capriles says he will spend that money more effectively, with less corruption, and a lot of people believe

him. It would not be hard to be more effi-cient than Chavez’s ramshackle adminis-tration.

Moreover, though Chavez’s rule has benefited the poor in many ways, they are still poor. Venezuela’s economy has grown far more slowly than those of its big neigh-bours, Brazil and Colombia, even though it has enjoyed the advantages of big oil

exports and a tenfold rise in the world oil price.

Indeed, almost all the growth in Venezuela’s economy since Chavez took power is due to higher oil prices; most other parts of the economy have shrunk. And while the oil

revenues have been big enough —$980 billion during Chavez’s presidency — to sustain the subsidies at their current level, they will never be enough to transform the entire economy.

You can work it out on the back of an envelope. There are almost 30 million Venezuelans. Even if all of that $980 billion had been shared out among them during Chavez’s 12 years in power, they would only have got about $3,000 per person per year. Since the oil revenue also had to pay for everything from defence to road con-struction, the real number was more like $1,000 per person per year.

That’s nice to have, but it’s not going to transform lives. In fact, many people now feel that they are sliding backward again, for inflation has been about 1,000 per cent since 1998, ten times worse than in Vene-zuela’s neighbours. And the shelves in the government-subsidised food shops are bare most of the time.

It’s like the old Soviet Union: when a shipment of some basic commodity finally arrives, it is all snapped up instantly, and

then there is nothing until the next deliv-ery. Nationalisation and central planning didn’t do the old Communist states of Eu-rope any good, and they haven’t worked in Venezuela either. Something radical must be done to get the real, non-oil economy growing at a decent rate.

So even Chavez loyalists can be tempt-ed by a politician who promises to keep the subsidies, but to scrap the antique Marxist dogmatism that cripples the econ-omy. Henrique Capriles is exactly that politician, and therefore he really might win the election. What then?

What would probably happen is a grudging but peaceful hand-over of power to the newly elected President Capriles. Chavez has not been reluctant to exploit the government’s near-monopoly of the broadcast media and his rhetoric is often vicious — he has called Capriles a “pig” and a “fascist” — but unlike the former Communist states of Europe, he has al-ways held real elections that he could ac-tually lose.

If he loses this one, he still knows that the welfare state he began to build will survive his departure: it is now part of the country’s political furniture. He will be conscious that his health might not be good enough to sustain him through a long post-election crisis. And for all his bluff and bluster about defending the “Bolivarian revolution”, he may actually respect a democratic vote that goes against him.

Whether his colleagues and cronies would feel the same way is another ques-tion, but they could hardly reject an out-come that Chavez himself accepted. This thing could still end well.

The Rumble in the Rockies volleyball tour-nament concluded with a whimper for some and a bang for others.

The College of the Rockies women’s ava-lanche team had a suc-cessful weekend, win-ning three of four scheduled matches, while the men’s team were blanked by two CIS teams and dropped two decisions against Red Deer College.

The women downed Augustana in straight sets on Thursday, and powered to a 3-1 win over Lethbridge College Friday morning. The la-dies engineered a c o m e - f r o m - b e h i n d rally in a tiebreak set to edge King’s University-College out of Edmon-ton, but fell 3-0 in a re-match on the final day of the tournament.

The ladies team is building on their exhi-bition experience, as they returned from a preseason tournament in Red Deer two week-ends ago, where they earned a win and four losses.

It was the first exhi-bition for the men,

against a few CIS-level teams to boot, but head coach Steve Kamps said he isn’t too concerned with the scores because he’s still evaluating players and team strengths and weak-nesses.

Agata Benkowska, who coaches the wom-en’s team, said her squad has grown leaps and bounds from last year and looked sharper than their outing to Red Deer two weeks prior.

“After Red Deer, we worked on passing, serving, communica-tion and teamwork—stuff like that is what we worked on all last week before this tourna-ment,” said Benkowska.

That work translated into an emphatic win over Augustana in the opening match of the event on Thursday night.

“We passed well, we served really tough, hit-ters hit well, everybody was playing unbeliev-ably,” Bendkowska added.

Bendkowska hopes the three consecutive wins adds some confi-dence to her team as they begin to shift into regular-season play in

three weeks.“I’m very happy, I’m

satisfied with how they played,” Bendkowska said. “I believe the play-ers are happy, they have motivation right now, they know what it’s like to win, because we haven’t won a lot of games in past years.”

Kamps took a stoic approach regarding the men’s performance, noting that the tourna-ment was their first ex-hibition action that fea-tured two games against CIS-level teams.

The University of Calgary Dinos even fea-tured two former Avs in Jeremias Guenter and Brendan Visser, who wore the red and black instead of the blue and white.

Red Deer College is traditionally one of the top five teams in the country as well, which was just another way for the Avs to gauge how they stack up.

“It was a good mea-suring stick to see where we are at,” said Kamps. “I think we learned a lot from our guys and learned how to play to-gether as a team and got everybody in so it was a very worthwhile experi-

Kootenay Ice pros-pects can breathe a sigh of relief.

The roster has been set.

The Kootenay Ice made their final releases on Monday, jettisoning defenceman Kyle Krab-ben to a team yet to be determined, while Czech import Petr Vese-ly will head back to Eu-rope.

The roster is now complete, with three 20-year-olds, three 19-year-olds, six 18-year-olds, eight 17-year-olds and two 16-year-olds.

The club has 12 for-wards, eight defence-men and two goalten-ders, which include 15 returning veterans, six new rookies and one im-port.

“It’s been competitive with a competitive train-ing camp and continued right into the exhibition season and the regular season and there were a lot of tough decisions,” said Ice general manag-er Jeff Chynoweth. “You want that, you don’t want easy decisions and now we’re down to the 22 that we’re going to carry, barring any trades, injuries or suspensions, but we’re excited to see how this group grows.”

Newcomers include goaltender Wyatt Hoflin,

defencemen Matthew Thomas and Tanner Faith, while Collin Shir-ley, Kyle O’Connor and Luke Philp complement the forward ranks along with import Jakub Pro-chazka.

Philp was a late cut from the team last year, but got in 17 games to cover injuries, while Thomas, an undrafted and unlisted player who came to camp on invite, cracked the roster.

Vesely, who was se-lected 29th overall in the CHL Import Draft last June, was released and will return to the Czech Republic.

Chynoweth relies on word-of-mouth from scouts when making se-lections in the import draft and said Vesely didn’t quite fit into the WHL level of play.

“[When] you partici-pate in the CHL Import Draft, you’re relying on other people, you haven’t seen the player yourself play—that’s the chance you take and un-fortunately, Petr just wasn’t the player we ex-pected to get,” Chyn-oweth said.

Prochazka, who Chynoweth selected 59th overall after trading for Tri-City’s first-round import pick, made the cut and will add some European flavour to the roster.

ence.”Kamps was im-

pressed with the show-ing against the Univer-sity of Calgary Dinos despite the 3-0 loss, be-cause the first two sets were out of reach by only a few points.

“The first two, we had chances to actually take some sets off them and that was four of their starters for CIS, so our guys were jacked to play and prepared to

play and came out and gave everything they had,” said Kamps.

“We were digging absolutely everything and our blocking looked very good as well.”

Serving is one area the team needs to im-prove on, as Kamps noted that the consis-tency was atrocious, while adding that the team needs to play with the right emotions on the court.

Australian Open prize money increases by A$4 million to a record A$30 million for 2013

MELBOURNE, Australia - Australian Open orga-nizers have increased prize money to a record Aus-tralian dollars 30 million for the first tennis major of 2013 in response to player concerns about com-pensation at Grand Slam tournaments.

Tournament director Craig Tiley said the A$4 million increase, announced Tuesday, was the largest from one year to the next in the tourna-ment’s history.

The move followed reports that some players were considering bypassing the tournament if prize money was not increased, particularly for losers in the early rounds.

“We’re proud of the fact we’ve gone to record prize money,” he said. “We are supporting the low-er-ranked players in their quest for compensation.”

Tennis Australia chief executive Steve Wood said the prize money boost would make the Janu-ary tournament the richest in tennis history.

“We are proud to announce this major increase in prize money,” Wood said. “We have led the world in prize money for these incredible athletes and we want to ensure that the Australian Open continues to make a major contribution to the financial well-being of professional tennis players.”

NHL labour talks are set to resume Tuesday morning, with discus-sions focusing on hock-ey-related revenue and not the core economic issues that continue to divide the two sides in a league-imposed lockout entering its third week.

A person familiar with negotiations, on Monday, provided the details of what was ex-pected to be discussed at the meeting that will be held in New York. The person spoke on the condition of ano-nymity because the NHL and the NHL Play-ers’ Association have not issued an update on talks.

The person added there are currently no other meetings planned beyond Tuesday.

Negotiators for the league and players will pick up where they left off after Sunday, when they completed three straight days of discus-sions. The talks focused on secondary issues, such as what should de-fine hockey-related rev-enue, as well as player health and safety.

Though both sides have made progress in discussing secondary is-sues, they’ve failed to make much of a dent into determining how to split up more than US$3 billion in league reve-nues between owners and players.

The NHL locked out the players after the col-lective bargaining

agreement expired on Sept. 15, and has since cancelled its entire pre-season schedule. The next step is expected to come this week, when the NHL is anticipated to announce the post-ponement of the start of the regular season, which was scheduled to open on Oct. 11.

The NHL dispute is now attracting the at-tention of two New Jer-sey senators, who are urging both sides to set-tle.

Senators Frank Laut-enberg and Robert Menendez sent a letter Monday to NHL Com-missioner Gary Bett-man and NHLPA execu-tive director Don Fehr urging them to consider the economic impact on their state if the dispute is not resolved.

The Democrats wrote that Congress has jurisdiction over inter-state commerce, which includes professional sports, and will be keep-ing a “close eye” on ne-gotiations.

The letter warned that the absence of New Jersey Devils’ games in Newark could mean millions of dollars in lost economic activity and jobs in especially tough economic times. The Devils advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals last season, creating a financial boost to the city just five months ago.

The lockout comes on the heels of the NBA’s Nets moving from New-ark to Brooklyn, N.Y.

INDIANAPOLIS - Colts coach Chuck Pa-gano has been diag-nosed with leukemia and is expected to be hospitalized six to eight weeks as he undergoes treatment.

He will be replaced on an interim basis by offensive co-ordinator Bruce Arians.

Team owner Jim Irsay made the announce-ment Monday during a sombre and sometimes emotional news confer-ence at the team com-

plex.“I think it’s unlikely

he’ll be all in as the head coach the rest of this season,” Irsay said. “He may be able to come back and be in the press box or something.”

The 51-year-old Pa-gano is in his first season with the Colts (1-2). He was hired in January after serving as the Balti-more Ravens’ defensive co-ordinator.

Dr. Larry Cripe, the physician treating the coach at Indiana Uni-versity’s Simon Cancer Center, said Pagano has

acute myeloid leukemia, where the bone marrow is producing abnormal white blood cells that in-terfere with healthy blood cells. Symptoms can include weakness, weight loss and easy bruising or bleeding. Treatments can include chemotherapy, drugs and radiation therapy.

Irsay said Pagano’s wife pushed him to see the doctor after noticing unusual bruising on the coach’s body.

The initial phase of treatment usually re-quires a hospital stay of

four to five weeks, though Irsay later ac-knowledged he expect-ed Pagano to be in the hospital at least six weeks.

Cripe said Pagano began the “arduous” treatment last week and that many adults do re-cover from the disease. For now, Pagano is being kept in a “protected” hospital environment where air is filtered and hand-washing is essen-tial.

Pagano was admitted last Wednesday evening; the team had a bye this

weekend and players and the assistants, other than Arians, were not told Pagano was ill until Monday morning.

“This is not an easy day for any of us,” Arians said. “It was not the way I ever dreamed about addressing a group like this. But I know he’ll get through it.”

General manager Ryan Grigson said he was not yet certain how the rest of the coaching duties would be split up, though he expected all of the assistants to pitch in.

Romo struggles as Bears defence mauls Cowboys Stephen haWkinS

Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas - Those 30-something de-fenders for the Chicago Bears showed Tony Romo how much they can still play.

Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman, two of the five defensive start-ers for Chicago in their 30s, returned intercep-tions for touchdowns, and the Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys 34-18 on Monday night.

Though Romo was only sacked once, on the Cowboys’ opening se-ries, he was pressured

relentlessly and threw five interceptions. That matched his career high, set five years ago in his first full season as a start-er.

Briggs’ interception came in a wild two-play exchange of turnovers midway through the third quarter.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was nearly flaw-less after halftime, when he completed 11 of 12 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns. That included a 34-yard score to Devin Hester to start the half and a 31-yarder to Brandon Marshall

with 6 1/2 minutes left.Cutler was 18 of 24

overall for 275 yards.Major Wright, who

returned an interception for a touchdown in Chi-cago’s last game, had two of the five interceptions. D.J. Moore has nine ca-reer interceptions, three of them against Romo after getting another one Monday night.

Chicago’s first fumble of the season came when Cutler was sacked by DeMarcus Ware and Victor Butler recovered at the Bears 27.

On the very next play, Romo was trying to es-

cape pressure when he was hit from behind by Henry Melton. The ball popped forward into the air and Briggs grabbed it and rumbled for his first interception return for a score since 2005 to put the Bears (3-1) ahead 24-7.

Once again, the Cow-boys (2-2) are a .500 team. They are also one of the lowest-scoring team in the NFL with only 65 points.

Since the start of the 1997 season, Dallas is 122-122 in regular-sea-son games. They have won only one playoff

game in that span after three Super Bowl titles in a four-year span in the first half of the 1990s.

Romo finished 31 of 43 for 307 yards and a touchdown. When the Cowboys got the ball back in the final 3 min-utes, Kyle Orton got his first action since the vet-eran quarterback signed a free agent deal during the off-season to be Ro-mo’s backup.

Orton threw a 5-yard TD pass to Jason Witten with 34 seconds left, capping a 10-play, 89-yard drive.

Blue Jays rally past Twins 6-5 in 10 innings

TORONTO - Yan Gomes tied the game with a two-out homer in the ninth inning and Anthony Gose won it with a two-out single in the 10th as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Minnesota Twins 6-5.

Adeiny Hechavarria singled with one out in the 10th against left-hander Brian Duensing (4-12) on Monday.

Hechavarria took second on a wild pitch with pinch-hitter J.P. Arencibia at the plate. Arencibia struck out on a ball that got away from catcher Drew Butera.

The catcher’s throw hit Arencibia, who was run-ning to first, but it was ruled that he was not running in the proper lane and Arencibia was called out for interference. That prompted an argument by man-ager John Farrell and his ejection.

But Gose came through with the winning single up the middle on the next at-bat while Adam Lind had four hits and two runs batted in for the Blue Jays.

Trevor Plouffe drove in three runs for the Twins with a homer and a double.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Conversation revitalizes you and encourages a different perspective. A partner might be too intimidated to be as proactive as you are. A dis-cussion with someone close results in support and nurturing. Curb a tendency to push your limits in a money matter ... you will get your share. Tonight: Roll with the mo-ment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You gain new perspectives quickly and see a situation in a different vein, as a result. You demonstrate unusual flexibility. You have a way about you that appeals to associ-ates, friends and family members -- as long as you are just yourself. Be willing to manifest greater secu-rity and ease for yourself and oth-ers. Tonight: Go for what you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be more visual in your thinking. A conversation with a respected friend helps you grasp more possi-bilities. Your creativity might not be so strong if you try to force yourself through a problem. Verbalize more of what you are thinking in order

to get feedback. Tonight: Not to be found. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to a partner’s or loved one’s suggestion. This person tends to put an interesting spin on situa-tions, which helps you identify with others and better understand what is happening. His or her delight-ful words encourage your mind to wander. Tonight: Where the crowds are. LEO (July 23- Aug. 22) Others look to you to take the lead. You naturally enjoy yourself with even the most intense or negative people in your life. It appears that your mood is contagious. A conver-sation, though serious, has much compassion behind it. A partner or loved one has a vision that affects you. Tonight: A must appearance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out for new information and different ways of seeing a situation. If you can come up with several different approaches, it could turn out far better than you’d originally thought possible. Use your unusual appeal later today. Tonight: Be will-ing to dream. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Deal with a change in a partner directly. This person has become unusually verbose or relaxed. This could be a good sign; however, it demands that you make an adjust-ment. Weigh the pros and cons, if you would like. Ultimately, you’ll know which way to go. Tonight: Dinner with a favorite person. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others might be unusually difficult and touchy, but your persistence wins the day. Try not to challenge someone or get into a power play. Ultimately, it will not be worth it. Test out an idea on those who could be affected. Tonight: All smiles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Stay level. Understand what has to be accomplished. You might find it difficult to home in on what is hap-pening, as you are deep in thought. Be careful when using mechanical objects and driving cars. An author-ity figure admires the way you handle yourself. Tonight: Stop what you’re doing and take a break. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creativity and determination prove to be unfamiliar benefits. Be willing to walk away from your comfort zone and look past restric-

tions. A more neutral environ-ment with fewer judgments will enhance your relationships on all fronts. Tonight: Don’t forget to call a loved one at a distance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you have a hankering to stay home, do. If you work, consider working from home if possible. In the long run, it might be a good idea to consider having a home-based business. Express your caring to a loved one -- it always is nice to get a hug. Tonight: The homeward-bound theme continues. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You tend to find the right words at the right time; meanwhile, others seem to be grasping when it comes to their own self-expression. Touch base with a neighbor or relative. This tie easily can be neglected, but ultimately it is instrumental to your life. Tonight: Find a pal to hang with. BORN TODAY Talk-show host Kelly Ripa (1970), musician Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner aka Sting (1951), actor Av-ery Brooks (1948) ***

Dear Annie: I am an 88-year-old father with three grown daughters. I have a substantial amount listed in my will, which originally was to be equally divided. A year ago, my youngest daughter and I had a falling out. I said something that irri-tated her, and she said I am not allowed to bring up that subject again. I replied, “Don’t tell me what I can talk about. If you don’t like what I say, don’t call,” and I hung up. She took that literally, and even though I made numerous attempts to reinstate myself into her life, I was rebuffed. I recently had major surgery. My daughter neither called nor visited. But her husband sent several emails blaming me for the es-trangement, saying I should have apolo-gized and what he really thought of me. Frankly, if my daughter had simply acted like nothing happened, it would have been over. Considering how I’ve always helped her financially, you’d think she would have cut me some slack. When my daughter made no attempt to end this hostility after six months, I had my attorney remove her as an heir to my estate. I have since learned that my son-in-law is quite upset about this. I think he’s been very instrumental in influencing my daughter’s behavior. I also believe the only reason he was ever pleasant to me was to ensure my daughter’s inheritance. Wills can always be changed, and if my daughter behaves better, I’m happy to rein-state her. But right now, I’m still angry and hurt by her intolerable treatment. Even if this gets resolved, I doubt I will ever feel the same toward either of them, and time is run-ning out. -- S.W. in California Dear S.W.: Somehow, this altercation has developed into an argument about money. We agree that your daughter and her hus-band are behaving terribly. However, your age doesn’t absolve you of everything. A good first step toward reconciliation is to apologize for hanging up on her instead of thinking she should treat it as if “nothing happened.” We hope she will accept this and allow the relationship to mend. We suggest asking one of her sisters to act as an interme-diary. If she refuses to budge, however, there is nothing more you can do. Dear Annie: My entire family attended my cousin’s wedding in another state. One of my children flew in with his wife and two kids, and the others drove a long distance to attend. The wedding was quite elegant, and we had a nice time. We each sent lovely gifts that we spent a great deal of time selecting. After two months, we each received a ge-neric preprinted thank-you note that didn’t mention the gifts specifically or say anything about using them. The notes weren’t even signed. What do you think of this “new” way of writ-ing thank-you notes? I am so disappointed in my cousin. I hope the bridal couple sees this. -- Disheartened Michigander Dear Michigander: We hope the preprint-ed note was not the actual thank-you note, but just a placeholder letting you know the gift arrived and they will thank you properly later. Dear Annie: After reading numerous sto-ries of married couples saying the passion has left their marriages, I had to put in my two cents’ worth. My husband and I have been married for 28 years. I, too, felt that we were in a rut. A couple of months ago, I texted a topless photo of myself to my husband while he was at work. That night, we had the most “fun” we’ve had in years. Now I keep the pictures coming on a random basis, gradually in-creasing the raciness. This one little step has been a lifesaver for our marriage. -- Some-where in Virginia Dear Virginia: As long as no one else uses that phone and those photos don’t go viral, we’re all in favor of using whatever spice helps.

MP apologizes over Layton gaff

THE CANADIAN PRESS/AARoN VINCENT ElkAIm

Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair speaks at the Canadian Club of Toronto luncheon about building a balanced 21st century economy in Toronto on Friday, September 28, 2012.

C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A mav-erick Conservative MP has apologized for sug-gesting that NDP Leader Tom Mulcair helped to hasten the death of pre-decessor Jack Layton.

Calgary MP Rob An-ders told the political news website iPolitics that Mulcair essentially goaded his predecessor into risking his health during the 2011 election campaign.

Anders says Mulcair argued before the cam-paign that Layton should step aside be-cause of his health.

He says this “arm-twisting’’ compelled Layton to “put his life at risk’’ in a hard-fought election campaign, when otherwise he might have been more heedful of his health.

Anders issued a statement apologizing to both Mulcair and Layton’s family, and de-scribing the remarks as “insensitive and incon-siderate.’’

The PMO was quick to distance itself from

the remarks, saying they in no way represent the views of Stephen Harper or the government.

“I actually think one of the great stories that was missed by journal-ists was that Mr. Mul-cair, with his arm twist-ed behind the scenes, helped to hasten Jack Layton’s death,’’ Anders is quoted by iPolitics as saying.

“It was very clear to me watching the two of those gentlemen in the front benches, that Jack Layton was ill and that Mr. Mulcair was making it quite obvious that if Jack wasn’t well enough to fight the campaign and fight the election that he should step aside, and that because of that, Mr. Layton put his life at risk to go into the national election, and fight it, and did ob-viously an amazing job considering his state of health, and that he did that partly because of the arm-twisting behind the scenes by Mulcair and then subsequently died.’’

Anders was first elected in 1997 and has been re-elected five times, winning with huge margins each time.

He has also been a

source of controversy. He opposed honorary Canadian citizenship for Nelson Mandela, la-belling him a commu-nity and a terrorist.

He is vitriolic in his dislike of China. He once compared the 2008 Beijing Olympics to the 1936 Berlin Games.

Chinese firm pleads guilty to worker death

C ANADIAN PRESSST. ALBERT, Alta. —

A Chinese engineering firm has pleaded guilty to three workplace safe-ty charges related to a fatal accident in the oil-sands five years ago.

Two workers were killed and another four injured when the roof on a large tank col-lapsed at Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.’s Horizon project site.

Twenty-one other charges against Chinese

contractors on the Hori-zon project were with-drawn.

Another 29 charges against the Calgary-based company have been stayed, meaning the government has a year to revive them.

Sinopec Shanghai Engineering Canada is to be sentenced on Jan. 24.

The pleas, which were entered Sept. 5, came to light this morn-ing when a trial was to have begun.

Man charged with counselling suicide

C ANADIAN PRESSABBOTSFORD, B.C.

— A 53-year-old B.C. man has been charged with counselling a de-pressed woman to com-mit suicide, and police say he may have done it before.

The latest incident came to light when fam-ily members brought a woman in her 40s to see police in Abbotsford.

Police say the woman, who was known to suffer

from depression, had ap-parent strangulation marks on her neck.

The probe led police to recommend a charge of counselling to commit suicide against Kenneth William Carr.

Investigators say Carr may have been involved in other, similar inci-dents, and they want to hear from anyone else who may have been counselled to kill them-selves.

Remains of missing Canadian man foundC ANADIAN PRESSELKO, Nev. — The

remains of a missing Canadian man whose wife survived for seven weeks in the Nevada wilderness after the couple got lost have been found a year and a half after he disap-peared.

Albert Chretien’s whereabouts have been a mystery since the cou-ple’s van got stuck in the mud in March 2011.

Det. Dennis Journi-gan of the Elko County Sheriff ’s Office said Chretien’s remains were discovered Saturday by two elk hunters in a se-cluded area of Merritt Mountain, about 11 ki-lometres west from where he set off.

Journigan said the remains were intact and hadn’t been scattered by animals. Chretien was identified by items found in his pockets, in-cluding business cards and an address book, police said.

Rita Chretien stayed with the couple’s van and was found on the verge of starvation 49 days after her husband went for help. She sur-

vived on trail mix, hard candy and melted snow, and has said her Chris-tian faith kept her going.

The couple got lost when they decided to take a shortcut to a Las Vegas trade show from their home in Pentic-ton, B.C.

Det. Jim Carpenter said the hunters in their 40s found a backpack that Chretien carried when he left the van. It contained a spiral note-book and sunflower seeds.

The hunters then went up the mountain

and found his body, Carpenter said.

“They know of the story, of what took place and they were in the general area,’’ he said Monday.

“They put two and two together and called us and said, ‘Hey, we

think we found your missing Canadian guy.’’’

The hunters led po-lice to the wooded area, about a four-hour drive from the sheriff’s office, early Sunday morning, Carpenter said.

“It’s big news around here, and everybody

who lives here knows the whole story.’’

Rita Chretien was re-lieved to hear her hus-band’s body had been found after so long, Car-

penter said.“She’s obviously

upset but she’s also re-lieved that we recov-ered Albert’s remains,’’ he said.

“This wasn’t any-thing that we gave up on. We were continuing searches up in that area and always trying to cover more ground and the thing that people don’t know is this ground is steep, rocky, (with) trees. There’s roads there but they’re really tough.’’

In the last 18 months, a search and rescue crew from Car-penter’s department has made countless trips to the area in hopes of finding Chre-tien’s body, and the last search happened two weeks ago, he said.

“From where their vehicle was, it’s miles and miles and miles of ground to cover up there. When you have 15 to 20 people up there at a time on a search, you can only cover so much ground.’’

AssociAted Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Ikea is being criticized for deleting images of women from the Saudi version of its furniture catalogue, a move the company says it regrets.

Comparing the Swedish and Saudi versions of the catalogue, free newspaper Metro on Monday showed that women had been air-brushed out of otherwise identical pictures showcas-ing the company’s home fur-nishings.

The report raised ques-tions in Sweden about Ikea’s commitment to gender equality, and the company released a statement ex-pressing “regret’’ over the issue.

“We should have reacted and realized that excluding women from the Saudi Ara-

bian version of the catalogue is in conflict with the IKEA Group values,’’ the company said.

Women appear only in-frequently in Saudi-run ad-vertising, mostly on Saudi-owned TV channels that show women in long dresses, scarves covering their hair and long sleeves. In import-ed magazines, censors black out many parts of a woman’s body including arms, legs and chest.

When Starbucks opened its coffee shops in the con-servative, Muslim kingdom, it removed the alluring, long-haired woman from its logo, keeping only her crown.

Ikea’s Saudi catalogue, which is also available on-line, looks the same as other editions of the publication, except for the absence of

women.One picture shows a fam-

ily apparently getting ready for bed, with a young boy brushing his teeth in the bathroom. However, a paja-ma-clad woman standing next to the boy is missing from the Saudi version.

Another picture of a five women dining has been re-moved altogether in the Saudi edition.

Swedish equality minister Nyamko Sabuni noted that Ikea is a private company that makes its own decisions, but added that it also proj-ects an image of Sweden around the world.

“For Ikea to remove an important part of Sweden’s image and an important part of its values in a country that more than any other needs to know about about Ikea’s

AssociAted PressVIENNA, Austria — A mass collision be-

tween a flock of starlings and a car on a stretch of Austrian expressway has left up to 100 of the birds dead and the driver shaken but unhurt.

The Austria Press Agency says the birds suddenly flew from power lines above the multi-lane highway in western Austria down-ward and directly into the path of the car.

The report did not say how fast the car was travelling Monday, but the speed limit on Austria’s autobahns is usually 130 kph — close to 80 mph.

The car sustained numerous dents. Clean-up crews quickly removed the dead birds.

BRISTOL — British police say the mysteri-ous death of a Canadian student in Bristol is not being treated as suspicious.

The Avon and Somerset Constabularly, based in the English town, today formally identified the victim as 22-year-old Garrett Elsey.

The Edmonton-area man was found dead at a recycling facility in Avonmouth last Thursday.

Police spokesman Wayne Baker says the investigation is continuing with the help of the coroner.

He says a post-mortem has already been conducted.

But he says police have yet to determine how Elsey’s body ended up in the facility, adding that will be part of the investigation.

“We have provisional findings but further investigations are taking place in conjunction with the coroner,’’ Baker said.

“These are likely to take some time. But we can confirm that the death is not being treat-ed as suspicious.’’

The family has requested privacy during the investigation. A family member earlier said that Elsey went to Bristol to study for a master’s degree in international security.

HONG KONG — A boat packed with revelers dur-ing a holiday weekend col-lided with a ferry and sank Monday night off Hong Kong, killing at least eight people and injuring doz-ens more, authorities said.

The boat was carrying about 120 people when the accident happened near Lamma Island, off the southwestern coast of Hong Kong Island, a gov-ernment statement said.

The vessel was carrying staff members of a utility company and their family members to Hong Kong’s famed Victoria Harbour to watch a fireworks display on a long holiday weekend to celebrate China’s Na-tional Day and mid-au-tumn festival.

The government said 101 people were rescued and the Hospital Authority said 53 people, including the eight dead, were taken to four hospitals.

“There was a boat that came in close and crashed,’’ said Yuen Sui-see, director of operations at Power As-sets Holdings Ltd., which was using the vessel to take staff on the outing. “After the crash, the other boat continued away, it didn’t stop.’’ He denied the vessel was overloaded, saying it was carrying 121 passen-gers and three crew but had capacity for more than 200 passengers.

Television channels showed the boat half sub-merged with the bow

pointing straight up. Heli-copters circled overhead with searchlights as gov-ernment vessels surround-ed the boat and divers pre-pared to enter the water. Broadcaster RTHK said 23 people were still missing.

Local news reports said the chartered boat was hit by another boat operated by the Hong Kong and Kowloon Ferry company on a regularly scheduled service. RTHK said the captain of the other ship, which was slightly dam-aged but able to return to port, was afraid to stop in case it sank.

“All of Hong Kong’s emergency forces are fo-cused here,’’ said Hong Kong’s leader, Chief Exec-utive Leung Chun-ying. “Wide-ranging rescue work is being carried out on in the sea, land and in the air.’’ Leung said he didn’t know what caused the collision but promised a thorough investigation.

Survivors said the boat started sinking rapidly after the collision. One woman told local televi-sion that she swallowed a lot of water as she swam back to shore. Another man said he didn’t know where his children were. Neither gave their names.

Lamma is the third-big-gest island in Hong Kong and near one of the coastal Chinese city’s busiest ship-ping lanes. The island is home to about 6,000 peo-ple, including many of the former British colony’s ex-patriate workers.
