Smiles in the streets PERFORMERS OFFER UP FUN AT CENTREFEST BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Years of training, perfecting and experimenting go in to the 30-minute performances that delighted crowds and put smiles on the faces of onlookers at this year’s CentreFest. Six stationary street performers and four roving performers highlighted a fun-filled weekend in downtown Red Deer for the annual CentreFest. CentreFest Artistic Director Bob Palmer has worked the street performer circuit for years as Flying Bob and has established many relationships in the industry, which helps attract performers to the annual Red Deer show. “I check out other festivals, I go online and I know all these people so I have connections all over the world,” said Palmer. “I try to get together with other festivals so we can bring in the same artists to Canada and share the costs to make it a tour for the performers.”

Model aircraft show really gets off the ground PLENTY OF PILOTS, SPECTATORS AT AIRSHOW BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF In preparation for the anticipated 500-person crowd, pilots were hard at work prepping their aircraft to show off what they could do. But the pilots were safe and secure on the ground, controlling their planes, helicopters, gliders and even a flying witch on a broomstick through a remote control. Event organizer and Central Alberta Radio Fun Flyers group member Jon From called it a normal sized airshow with miniature sized airplanes. The number and the wide range of acts would be comparable to the old Red Deer Airshow, which last took flight more than a decade ago. “It covers basically aviation from the First World War, up through the Second World War, jets, airliners, modern aircraft, scale aircraft, combat, vintage and novelty things like the witch and the skydiver,” said From. “We’ll wrap up the show with the candy bomber.” Photo by MURRAY CRAWFORD/Advocate staff Remote-control plane Dan Hollington, of Carstairs, holds up his B-25 Second World War era bomber at pilots came from all over Western Canada, the Central Alberta Radio Fun Flyers airshow east of Red Deer Sunday afternoon. including Victoria, Sasparticipants in the airshow, has a War, but was hard at work getting katchewan and all over passion for First World War era his Second World War era B-25 Alberta. bomber prepped.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
Dog goes missing from SPCA BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN STOLEN BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Staff at the Red Deer and District SPCA are distraught and concerned after a dog in their care mysteriously vanished and may have even been stolen from the facility Thursday. “We’re pretty upset about it,” said Amy Corpe, Red Deer and District SPCA Animal Care Manager. Though they are closed on Thursday and Friday every week, there were staff in the building when the alleged theft took place. They were performing surgery on animals in their care and when they went to look for Syra to do a checkup on her, as she had recently had a surgery, when they noticed she was not in her kennel. “We assumed maybe someone had taken her out for a walk, even though she has a do not — AMY CORPE, RED walk sign on her kennel DEER AND DISTRICT because of the recent surSPCA ANIMAL CARE gery,” said Corpe. MANAGER “It is extremely difficult for a dog to just get up and let themselves out, it’s pretty much impossible. There’s no way she left without a human helping her.” Syra had been at the Red Deer and District SPCA for one month.

Plucky snack turns heads, stomach WOMAN CLAIMING SHE PLUCKED BIRD ON MONTREAL SUBWAY DEFENDS HERSELF BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — A Facebook posting says a woman caught on video in a Montreal subway train apparently plucking and eating a bird was only preparing “country food” for a meal at home. A woman, who identifies herself on Facebook as Christina David and an Inuk, says she’s not “crazy” and wasn’t eating the bird raw, as has been reported. A YouTube video posted earlier this month appears to show a woman sitting down, bent over, pulling the feathers off what looks like a bird and then eating it. Montreal police spokesman Manuel Couture said investigators haven’t been in contact with David and haven’t confirmed the identity of the woman in the video. The man filming the video says he’s about to vomit, while other passengers are seen moving to the other end of the subway car, but David says she is surprised at the uproar the video has caused. In a lengthy message thread on Facebook, she accuses other passengers and the media of over reacting about the bird. “It’s their own fault they were watching and disgusted... I couldn’t wait to go home so I can put it on the big pan with onions and mushrooms. Some of the friends on the thread posted that David, who also used the name Christina Qualli Poasie on Facebook, was being a “true Inuk.” David also posted that she “wasn’t even making any mess.” “I was so happy that I didn’t care where I was at the moment but all I have to say is that I ain’t crazy,” she said. “I will always be an Inuk no matter where I am.” The Canadian Press attempted to contact David on Sunday to ask her about the Facebook postings in which she suggests she was the woman on the video, but the news service was unable to talk to her. Couture said the woman in the video could still be charged with disturbing the peace. “An investigator has to meet her and find out what happened,” Couture said.

Vancouver high-school students place second
Syra, a five-year-old staffordshire terrier, had been at the Red Deer and District SPCA for one month until she went missing last Thursday. Staff believe she may have been stolen.

DOG: Friendly with people
VANCOUVER — A team of Vancouver high-school students came in second place at an international robotic soccer competition held in Brazil. Allen Chak, Bryan Ge (GUH), Felix Huang (HWONG), Jeff Ma (MAH) and Robert Mo (MOH) built soccer-playing robots that competed in the 2014 RoboCup competition. Sixteen-year-old Chak says getting second place was a great surprise and says he is thinking of programming robots when he grows up. Team SagerSoccer competed under the category of two-on-two robot teams built by people aged 14 to 19 that must use artificial intelligence to operate. SagerSoccer’s robots are about the size of two phone books stacked together and raced around on wheels to manoeuvre the ball. Once the robots were had the net in sight, they would use compressed air to extend a small pipe that kicked the ball into the net.
The staffordshire terrier, spayed female is primarily white and has grey markings on her. “She is extremely friendly with all humans, not so friendly with other critters,” said Corpe. “She has a pretty high prey drive.” They have notified the Red Deer RCMP, Alberta Animal Services and the microchip company she is registered with. Because she is now registered as a stolen animal it should become easier to track her through the microchip. Red Deer RCMP confirmed they have been notified of the investigation and responded to the scene of the incident. However, they were unable to determine if Syra was stolen or if she escaped of her own accord. “To be honest, whoever took her I don’t care,” said Corpe. “I just want to know the dog is OK. All of our staff are so upset. I didn’t sleep Thursday night. “We just want to know where she is and if she is OK. That’s all we care about.”

TUESDAY
Youtube and word of mouth are powerful tools to promote acts and determine who would be entertaining for the festival. One of the younger faces in the performer lineup is Schuyler Snowdon, a stilt-walker who went with a butterfly catcher look. The 26-year-old started as a juggler, but he volunteered at Palmer’s circus camps in Red Deer and started learning how to stilt-walk. “At all these festivals there are face-painters and I noticed all these kids with butterflies on their cheeks,” said Snowdon. “I was walking around thinking it would be a lot of fun if I had a net and went catching kids with butterflies on their faces. That’s how I developed the character.” The butterfly catcher look is just one of several Snowdon uses, as he was also seen using a bank robber on stilts character Saturday. On top of being a roving performer he helped out at the circus workshop tent, a place where people can learn some of the skills such as juggling or stiltwalking that circus acts use. “I rove, I do street performing and I do stage and I like all of it for very different reasons,” said Snowdon. “Street is wonderful because it is incredibly honest. Your audience can just leave at any time, so it’s very imperative you be very good. There is stuff you can get away with on stage that you can’t get away with on the street.” Geoff Cobb, or Thom Sellectomy — his stage name — used to be a circus clown. He went to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College out of high school and worked for two years on the circus. But now he has taken to swallowing swords and hammering nails up his nose. “I was dumb enough to do it,” said Cobb. “What else am I going to do at this point. I’m 42, this is all I’ve ever done.” It took Cobb about six months to learn how to swallow a sword. “You kind of throw up over and over,” said Cobb. “Sword swallowing is really anatomy and the abuse thereof. Once your head is tipped back its a straight shot down your esophagus.” For John Park, who performed his funny waiter routine at CentreFest, he started as a comedy juggler and still incorporates some of that to his routine. But he noticed that some of his audience participation bits had a food and drink theme to them, so he took on the persona of a waiter. It happened organically and now he runs with it. “The neat thing about street performing is we show up some place and there’s nothing happening,” said Cobb. “All of a sudden you get people around you and out of nothing we’ve created a big thing.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

PLANES: All kids out here He tested both of the propellers to ensure they were operating and worked hard to get them working at the same speed so his plane would fly straight and true. Don Forness, the announcer for the air show, said it can take about 10 to 20 hours of “dual instruction time” from someone to start the hobby, dual instruction time is a flight term for learning with an experienced flier.
There was an entrance fee to the show, but half of the proceeds from the gate went to the Red Deer Youth and Volunteer Centre. “We’re all kids out here, some of us have gray hair or no hair, but we’re all kids,” said From. CARFF has about 55 to 60 members and they own a small tract of land east of Red Deer on McKenzie Road. Forness said people come out often to fly their planes, and at all hours of the day.

About 15 boats on Sylvan Lake were washed ashore by high winds from Friday’s storm and now Sylvan Lake RCMP want people to claim them, or ensure their own boats are secure. The storm washed the boats ashore on the south shore of the lake, many were strewn on the shoreline along Lakeshore Drive from 40 Street to Petro Beach Saturday. While some have been tied off, police have made efforts to contact owners with varying success. Several of the boats have taken on a lot of water. If the wind changes direction some of the unsecured vessels will be washed back out into the lake and become dangerous hazards for other users of the lake and property owners as well. Police would like to remind people that the owner of a boat that damages other people’s property or the environment may be held liable for damages. Under the Canada Shipping Act and Small Vessel Regulations it is law to register boats with Transport Canada. The licence number should appear on either side of the bow of the boat and this number is how police or other enforcement agencies are able track down boat owners.

BRIEFS
In the midst of their own leadership race, NDP MLA and leader hopeful David Eggen rolled into Red Deer looking for memberships, support and listening to residents concerns. It has been about a month since his last trip when he was in town on the pension tour, talking about planned changes to both public and private sector pensions. Now the Edmonton-Calder MLA was in town touting his candidacy for leader. While talking about many social issues, such as better access to public health care, the Michener Centre and utility rates and sale of Alta-Link. One thing that came up in particular was eschewing pipelines for upgrading and refining bitumen in Alberta, creating a finished product for sale. “The idea of diversifying is very important to get full value added dollar off of our energy resources,” said Eggen. “With Joffre plant and upgrading, those are the kind of jobs that stay for generations and allow people to live close to home and have a family. “Upgrading bitumen should be a big part of our future as opposed to raw material pipelines.” Current NDP leader Brian Mason announced his resignation, effective Oct. 19, back in April. A leadership convention for the party will be held on Oct. 19 and 20. So far Eggen and Rachel Notley, EdmontonStratchona MLA, are the two announced candidates.

Expect things to sound a little more clearer at the Centrium at Westerner Park. The board of directors approved a capital expense to upgrade the sound system in the building during its June meeting. Fifty-eight speakers that use JBL Vortex loudspeaker technology will be strung equally around the Centrium as well as four subwoofers and 13 amplifiers. “This upgrade will further enhance our commitment to providing a professional hockey game experience for Central Albertans. Combined with our video scoreboard and LED system, the audio/visual experience has never been greater,” said Merrick Sutter, senior vice president of the Red Deer Rebels. All Star Show Industries will be installing the new speaker system and it will be unveiled at the beginning of the 2014/2015 Western Hockey League.

Cities lead on green action Amid the dire warnings about global warming’s impacts, what’s often overlooked is that actions to reduce or prevent them will lead to livable communities, improved air quality, protection of natural spaces and greater economic efficiency, to name just a few benefits. So it’s not surprising that tangible positive action on climate change is happening in Canada’s cities. Plenty of examples can be DAVID found in the SUZUKI National Measures Report, released in mid-July by the Partners for Climate Protection, which includes the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and ICLEI-Canada, a local government organization dedicated to sustainability. The report shows that, although Calgary is best known as the epicentre of Canada’s oil and gas sector, its government is investing in greater energy efficiency and tackling greenhouse gas pollution. In just seven years, it has cut emissions from operations by almost

50 per cent through an innovative partnership with energy companies. Cost savings from reduced energy use pay for the city’s investments. Edmonton was an early innovator in waste management, establishing one of the first municipal composting programs in 2000. Its facility is the largest of its kind in North America. Not only does it take in organic waste from households, it also processes sewage sludge from the wastewater treatment plant. Along with its recycling program, the city now keeps up to 60 per cent of its municipal waste out of landfills, and is aiming to increase that to 90 per cent. How does this help with climate change? Diverting waste away from landfills reduces emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas many times more potent than carbon dioxide. In Ontario, Guelph is enjoying an economic revival and reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions at the same time. Supported by Ontario’s Green Energy Act, the city aims to meet 25 per cent of its total energy needs with locally sourced renewable energy. The policy turned out to be a boon for the manufacturing sector, attracting solar industry plants to Guelph and across the region. My hometown, Vancouver, is the real leader on Canadian urban climate initiatives. It has the lowest
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An alternate proposal to upgrade city swimming pools The Collicutt Centre pool is open 112.5 hours per week, with 74 hours designated as public swimming and 16.5 hours designated as lane swimming. The G.H. Dawe Centre pool is only open 102.5 hours; it has 67 hours designated as public swimming and 12.5 hours as lane swimming. The interesting part is that the Michener Centre pool has only 12 hours per week designated as public swimming and 20 hours as lane swimming, and the Recreation Centre pool has 13 hours designated as public swimming and 39 hours designated as lane swimming. The Michener pool is only open for 65 hours per week and the largest portion of time is set aside for groups. The Rec Centre is open slightly longer at 98 hours per week but the largest portion seems to be lane swimming. Public swimming appears to be almost unimportant. The Collicutt is open the longest with more time designated to public swimming and used by more than 50 per cent of the swimming public, followed by the Dawe pool, with Michener pool at the opposite end of the spectrum, followed by the Rec Centre. The Collicutt and Dawe pools appear to be public pools used by the vast majority of Red Deer residents while the Rec Centre and Michener pools appear to be used by hard-core swimmers and the minority of the swimming public. So it could be argued there is merit and savings in merging the two pools, allotting the same time for the swim clubs and their 400 members, extending the hours and still offer the minimal hours currently offered for public swimming to at least appear to be

greenhouse gas emissions of any major North American city — and they’re continuing to drop. B.C. is lucky to be powered by low-carbon hydroelectric power; Vancouver leverages this advantage by making smart urban-planning decisions and encouraging active transportation such as walking, biking and public transit. Almost half of city trips are now made without a car. Battling sprawl and encouraging sustainable transportation has its advantages beyond reducing the carbon footprint. Good transit and improved livability have attracted people to Vancouver’s increasingly vibrant downtown core, lush green spaces and seaside pathways. Local progress can spur even greater momentum as cities collaborate with each other and other levels of government. The C40 Climate Leadership Group, started in 2005, has grown from 18 to 69 megacities around the world, including Toronto and Vancouver — representing one in 12 people on the planet. C40 and related initiatives have allowed cities to set goals together, measure and verify progress and share success stories on how to tackle global warming, while reaching out to smaller centres and co-operating with national governments. The influence and importance of tackling global warming at the municipal level has become so great that
a public pool. It is widely noted that there is a pool deficit in Red Deer, and there is a desire for a 50-meetre pool, which Red Deer does not have. A study was done and a recommendation was made that we build a 54-metre pool at the Rec Centre in 2013 at a cost of $74.65 million or $84 million in 2015, plus or minus 20 per cent; $84 million plus 20 per cent equals $100 million. As we know, political projects almost always go over budget and this budget does not include LEED principles and finishing touches. A Major Area Structure Plan is being done for north of Hwy 11A, potentially adding 20,000 residents to Red Deer, with a third reading set for March 2015. History shows that the majority of Red Deer residents prefer a Collicutt pool model, and history shows that a pool gets built every 20 years. In that light, does the recommendation still make sense? The original study showed that we need to close Michener pool to reduce costs. But it still showed a merged operational deficit of $3 million annually, to be covered by taxpayers. The latest recommendation is to keep Michener pool open, with an estimated cost of $16 million, which includes removing it from the Michener Centre power, heat and phone grid and bringing it up to code. This still does not address the pool deficit n Red Deer, which will get more dire as the development in the north proceeds and the Rec Centre pool gets taken off line for years for expansion and the Michener pool gets taken off line for upgrading. Why not just build a 50-metre pool north of Hwy 11A, in a Collicutt model pool, not close Rec Centre for years and continue leasing the Michener pool as long as possible? It may cost a $100 million but as it stands now, it could cost us a quarter of a billion dollars to renovate the Rec, upgrade the Michener and then build a pool in the north. Building in the northwest could be used as an eco-

the UN now formally recognizes city governments in negotiations on climate change. It makes sense. The UN notes that although cities cover just two per cent of the world’s surface, they produce more than 60 per cent of CO2 emissions. How can federal and provincial governments get on board? First, they can establish policies that offer financial and program support to urban global warming action, such as investing in public transportation. The B.C. government has helped cities develop climate change plans and become carbon neutral, and Nova Scotia has established a Climate Change Adaptation Clearinghouse to assist cities. Other provinces could take similar action. And all provinces and the federal government need to get serious about the greenhouse gas emissions they control. Our future will be determined by the choices we make now to prioritize clean energy, better transit and smarter urban design. Canadian citizens and governments should recognize the benefits of acting and co-operating on global warming. There’s still a long way to go, but cities are showing the way.

Prison service to test electronic monitoring devices HIGH-RISK OFFENDERS TO TAKE PART IN PILOT PROJECT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS High-risk offenders in Ontario and Quebec are among the inmates slated to take part in a federal prison service pilot project to test the effectiveness of electronic monitoring devices. Research data will be collected for at least two years before a decision is taken on further use of the devices, to be worn by offenders completing sentences in the community. The Canadian Press obtained internal memos about the planned pilot project — which is months behind schedule — under the Access to Information Act. The government announced plans for the pilot early last year despite opposition from the NDP, which questioned the cost. In a September 2012 report, a majority of the Commons public safety committee recommended that the Correctional Service look into broader use of monitoring, which usually involves an ankle bracelet that can be electronically tracked from a central facility. However, the NDP disagreed, saying the government’s own witnesses made it clear that the devices are not effective for low-risk offenders.
Only medium- or high-risk male offenders out on statutory release — the final one-third of their sentence — or subject to a long-term supervision order will be eligible to take part in the pilot, says a September 2013 Correctional Service memo to regional deputy commissioners. The Ontario and Quebec regions were selected because they have the largest number of highrisk offenders with special conditions imposed on their release, adds the memo. Offenders who agree to participate in the research will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: those fitted with a device, or those without one. The prison service tested monitoring devices from 2008-11, but did not gauge their “effectiveness and efficiency,� the memo says. Legislation passed by the Conservatives gives the prison service authority to demand that an offender who leaves prison on temporary absence, work release, parole, statutory release or long-term supervision wear a moni-
toring device. The bracelets can be programmed to send an alert if the offender violates a release condition prohibiting them from being in certain places. Officials see the tool as a means of overcoming the challenges of monitoring offenders who have been ordered to abide by a curfew, or to
additional “intended and unintended� consequences. Prison service spokeswoman Veronique Rioux refused to make anyone available to discuss the pilot. It was supposed to begin last spring, but no bids from potential equipment vendors met the government’s requirements. A number of provincial correctional systems use electronic monitoring to keep track of suspects out on bail or offenders permitted to be in the community under court-ordered conditions. Still, the November notes say, a key challenge is managing expectations of partners involved in electronic monitoring, or EM. “Many of them have — CORRECTIONAL SERVICE very limited experience with EM, and their knowledge is often based on avoid schools, parks, bars or known what they’ve seen on TV, in Hollywood gang areas. movies and from seeing some AmeriCorrectional Service notes on the can celebrities who have worn an EM current project, prepared last Novem- device,� a prison service official wrote. ber, say it will examine the cost-ef“It is important for them to underfectiveness of electronic monitoring, stand that EM is not a silver bullet and changes in offender behaviour, staff as with all technology some limitations experiences with the devices, and any do exist.�

Feminist Therese Casgrain disappears from public history under Harper government BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Harper government has spent millions to commemorate the War of 1812 and other episodes from Canadian history, but has also erased at least one inspiring piece of the past. Therese Casgrain, a feminist icon and Quebec heroine who died in 1981, has been quietly removed from a national honour, to be replaced by a volunteer award bearing the prime minister’s banner. The Therese Casgrain Volunteer Award, was started in 1982 by the Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau. It honoured Canadian activists such as June Callwood until it was eliminated — unannounced —by the Harper government in 2010. An image of Casgrain and her namesake volunteer-award medal also disappeared from Canada’s $50 bank note in 2012, replaced by the image of an icebreaker on a new currency series. An image of the so-called Famous Five women was removed from the same bank note. “It was a very difficult thing for the family to see the award disappear all
of a sudden,� Michele Nadeau, Casgrain’s granddaughter, said in an interview. “It was a great disappointment.� Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, which had administered the Casgrain award, was instructed in 2010 to create a Prime Minister’s Volunteer Award in its place, to be handed out in a ceremony each year presided over by Stephen Harper. Casgrain fought for the right of Quebec women to vote, which they finally won in 1940. She also became the first female leader of a political party in Canada, heading the CCF in Quebec, and was appointed to the Senate in 1970 by Trudeau. A spokesman for Employment and Social Development Canada, the successor department to Human Resources, says the Casgrain award was reviewed in 2010 following the fall speech from the throne, which announced plans for a new volunteer award. “Discussions took place with the Casgrain Foundation and it was decided that Human Resources and Skills Development Canada end the ... program, rather than re-orient and
re-launch it,� Pierre Nolet said in an email. “There was no public announcement of its end. The spirit and objectives of the Therese Casgrain Volunteer Award were retained in two national categories of the PMVA (Prime Minister’s Volunteer Award).� Nadeau, however, says her family and the Montreal-based Therese Casgrain Foundation, which she heads, were not consulted about whether the award should be eliminated. “We were informed of a sort of internal review that was done by the Human Resources Department, and they decided to discontinue. But we were never consulted.� The Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards, launched in 2011, honour 17 Canadians from across the country each year. The awards ceremony was held Feb. 27 this year in Toronto, with Harper personally presenting a medal and certificate to each winner, and having his picture taken with them. The Casgrain Award was killed once before by the Progressive Conservative government of Brian Mulroney in 1990, but was revived in 2001 by the Chretien Liberals.

Police, fire and ambulance personnel face high PTSD rates SEEK NEW AID BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — Alex Forrest clearly remembers what happened to a fellow firefighter who was traumatized by the deaths of two captains in a house fire. It was two months after the Winnipeg blaze in 2007 that killed Tom Nichols and Harold Lessard, and Forrest knew his colleague was having a hard time coping. “I checked up on him and he had killed himself in a garage, and he was holding the pamphlet from the memorial,” Forrest, head of the Winnipeg firefighters union, recalled last week. “Many of the firefighters are still suffering the effects of that fire.” Forrest is one of many emergency responders across the country, including police officers and ambulance crews, who are fighting for better treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. He says the condition has been around a long time — he remembers early in his career 25 years ago when one firefighter committed suicide — but people are more willing to talk about the issue now. There have been high-profile cases in recent weeks, including that of Ken Barker, a retired RCMP corporal and dog handler who took his own life. His family told the Winnipeg Free Press that Barker had struggled with PTSD after seeing many horrific crimes over the years, including the 2008 beheading of Tim McLean on a Greyhound bus. Vince Savoia is a former paramedic and advocate
who set up the Tema Conter Memorial Trust Fund in honour of a young woman killed in Toronto in 1988. He said there have been at least 15 suicides by first responders across Canada since April 28. The total is based on media reports and information given directly to his organization, which embarked on a cross-country tour this year to raise awareness of PTSD. The number surprised even him. “I’m really hoping this is just a blip .... because I just can’t see this continuing,” Savoia said from his organization’s Toronto headquarters. While suicide is the most extreme outcome of PTSD, both Savoia and Forrest say the condition can manifest itself in many different ways — depression, substance abuse, divorce or an inability to work. A 2012 study by psychiatric researchers in Brazil estimated that, worldwide, 10 per cent of emergency responders suffer from PTSD. That number was comparable to the rate among United States military personnel who had served in Iraq. It was much higher than rates among the general population of the countries that were studied — those rates varied between one per cent and 3.5 per cent. In Canada, there is a growing movement to try to treat PTSD in emergency responders. British Columbia and Alberta have recently changed worker compensation laws to make PTSD a presumptive condition. That means emergency responders suffering from the disorder will be presumed to have it as a direct result of their jobs, making it easier to qualify for compensation and treatment. The Ontario government has reintroduced a similar bill in the legislature and Manitoba appears ready to follow suit.
Nunavut government to consider funding for plan to put out Iqaluit’s ‘dumpcano’ expert from British Columbia to help. Anthony Sperling has proposed building a large pond walled by dirt and garbage and filled with seawater. High-extension excavators would take load after load of burning waste and dunk it in the pool to extinguish it. The waste would then be drained, flattened and stored in a new area. Water from the quenching pond would be pumped onto the burning section of the dump to quell the flames expected to leap up as shovels bit in. The work would continue for weeks until the garbage pile was no more than five metres high. Specialized industrial firefighting crews would have to wear respirators and splash suits to protect themselves from contaminated water. Sperling said the problem is that the Iqaluit dump, commissioned in 1995, was supposed to be open for five years. It’s still in use, nearly 20 years later. “It’s been stacked higher into very steep slopes to make it last,” said Sperling. “That’s created conditions that make it very difficult now to extinguish it.” It’s the dump’s fourth fire since mid-December. In 2010, a blaze took six weeks to put out.
IQALUIT, Nunavut — Government officials are to meet this week to consider a plan for putting out a dump fire that has been fouling the air in Nunavut’s capital for more than two months. The city of Iqaluit just doesn’t have the $2.2 million it would take to quench the blaze and its nostrilsearing smoke, said fire chief Luc Grandmaison. “We’re asking them (the territory) to help us with resources.” The fire began May 20 and has been dubbed the “dumpcano” — a term Grandmaison regrets having coined, because he feels it belittles the seriousness of the situation. The combustion is centred somewhere deep within the massive pile of trash that is the Iqaluit city dump. The burning section — about the size of a football field and up to four storeys deep — is a smoky cauldron of untold numbers of household garbage bags. There are no flames. But Grandmaison said the subsurface heat reaches up to 2,000 C. The heart of the blaze is too deep for firehoses to reach. The pile of garbage is too unstable to attack with backhoes or other equipment. The best crews have been able to do is cut trenches through the garbage and isolate the burning section from the rest of the dump.

PM’s wife gets stinging reception BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s wife probably would have preferred a taste of honey but ended up on the business end of a bee sting. Laureen Harper was taking a look at a bee hive on the rooftop of Toronto’s Royal York hotel Sunday, but she and the hotel chef got a bit close and were stung. The beehive is part of the hotel’s effort to provide in-house honey for its restaurant and to help the environment by providing bees to pollinate area gardens and parks. Video footage on Toronto television station CP 24 appeared to show the chef getting the most attention from the bees — Harper apparently escaped with one sting. Laureen Harper didn’t appear at all fazed by the stinging rebuke handed out by the bees, and for good reason. The Prime Minister’s Office says she is very comfortable around bees as her father raised bees on the family farm.
Two killed in crash of small amphibious plane near Nanaimo Two people have been killed in a small plane crash near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Transportation Safety Board spokesman Bill Yearwood says the plane, an “amateur built” Avid amphibious aircraft, crashed on takeoff from the Nanaimo Airport in Cassidy Saturday evening. Cassidy is located about 20 kilometres southeast of Nanaimo. Yearwood said the single-engine two-seater went down on the Cottonwood Golf Course, which is adjacent to the airport, and that the two people on board died of their injuries. There are no reports of anyone else being injured. No details have been released at this point concerning the victims. Weather conditions were sunny and clear at the time of the fatal accident.
Six-year-old dead after car rams Costco in London LONDON, Ont. — A six-year-old child who was injured after being hit by a car that crashed through the front doors of a London, Ont., Costco has died. On Friday, the collision caused panic among those shopping in the busy store (on Wellington Road South). Police have identified the six-year-old child as Addison Hall. Addison’s three-year-old sister Miah Bozek and mother Danah McKinnon-Bozek were also injured and remain in hospital. McKinnon-Bozek was eight months pregnant when the collision happened and underwent an emergency caesarean-section on Friday. Both Miah Bozek and the newborn are in critical condition, while their mother is in fair condition.

Aren’t Dental Implants Just A Glorified Stainless Steel Screw? Dear Dr. D:
52857G5-31
A cousin of mine returned from a Mexican vacation with 6 dental implants. As he put it – they were cheap and looked great. Three months later, 2 went bad and the crowns were removed. To everyone's surprise, the actual implants were nothing but screws – and Canadian at that (they were stainless steel Robertson heads). The other 4 are still good. Should he just leave them be?

We choose to avoid this in numerous ways. First, we use only recognized mainstream dental implants. They cost more than a screw but are worth it. In the event that any of our patients ever need dental work anywhere in the world – our implants parts are universal and available. Secondly, we have invested heavily in the best sterilization equipment available. You don't need infection grief, and neither do we! Finally – nothing is as predictable as lack of preparation. Team training – doctor training – and patient education are critical. We won't pop an implant into a patient just because he wants one. Their overall health (i.e. medications they currently take for other conditions) is important. Their lifestyle and personal habits are critical. Oral hygiene is mandatory, and tobacco usage is not encouraged. One patient who smokes 3 packs a day wanted implants and he can easily afford them. I won't place them, because his prognosis for success is limited. I told him he can have teeth or he can have his smokes. He chose smokes. As for your cousin with the 'Robbies' in his jaw – my choice would be to get them out of there.

A: I wouldn't, but that is just me. Implants are made of titanium. They are designed that way to integrate with a patient's bone structure – and in fact bond with that bone the same way medical hip joints do. If a foreign substance is inserted into your body there is no guarantee of anything, including sterility. Rejection is guaranteed – the only variable is how long until that happens. There are places where the word 'liability' is just another word. Clearly in the clinic where your cousin had his work done – that was the case. Just because dental implants are much more commonplace and are recognized as the Standard of Care for tooth replacement – it doesn't mean it isn't a significant surgical procedure. Rejection can cause infection. Infection can jeopardize not only that dental implant, but the tissue around it. This can cause irreparable damage to the implant, other implants, and other healthy natural tooth roots. We live in a world where new diseases are found every day (and fortunately new treatments for existing ailments as well). There are previously undiscovered bacteria in the field of dental implants and using metal working screws instead of factory implants invites trouble (although the home mechanic in me appreciates the use of the Canadian Robertson screw – the best one in the world!). They even have a word for this condition – peri-implantitis. It is an infectious disease causing inflammation in the soft and hard tissues around an implant. It results in loss of bone structure, which is the polar opposite of what dental implants are designed to encourage. It can be measured in sequential X-Rays and noticeable loss of bone will be recorded.

Looking for that big fish ANGLERS CAN TRY LUCK RIGHT IN RED DEER BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Armed with a fishing rod and a few chunks of cheddar cheese, Nathan Joch can be found casting a line at the Waskasoo Park Pond. Joch said he enjoys the quiet in lower Heritage Ranch, which doesn’t have as much foot traffic as Bower Ponds. Joch says putting cheese at the end of the hook draws the rainbow trout. He learned the trick from a Nova Scotian who used to wrap up cheese or fish in pantyhose and tie it to the end of the hook.
Twice a year, the Alberta Conservation Association stocks the pond with 1,000 rainbow trout. It’s one of a handful of fishing spots available in the city for recreational fisherman. Bower Ponds was stocked up until 2005. That stopped because the rainbow trout were being eaten by the large northern pike population. Anglers looking to catch a big one can also try their luck at the ponds at Three Mile Bend and along the Red Deer River. Mandatory fishing licences are sold by private licence issuers throughout the province. In the Red Deer River, anglers can enjoy catching rocky mountain whitefish, goldeye, brown trout, pike and walleye. Ken Lehman, the City of Red Deer Parks planning and ecological specialist, said the populations have declined in recent years because of the floods in 2008 and 2013. He said the 2013 flooding knocked the fish populations back physically because of the water and debris. Lehman said trout is the most sensitive species but all the species have taken a hit. Bug populations have also plummeted on the river. “We were just trying to rebound from 2008,” said Lehman. “Then 2013 hit and knocked them back down. It’s a fragile system. High water can impact fish populations.” The province sent out a request earlier this year cautioning anglers to take it easy on fish populations. It will take a few years before they rebound. In the meantime, Lehman is promoting respectful angling practices to protect fish populations, which includes proper fish handling, keeping the fish in the water as long as possible, catch and release on the river and taking trash with you when you leave the fishing areas. “We have seen (discarded fishing line) in the ponds that has affected wildlife directly, both fish and waterfowl,” said Lehman. “Last year, we had to take a goose out of Waskasoo Pond because both legs were coming off. The fishing line had restricted it so she struggled. We had to put the goose down. Medicine River Wildlife Centre came out. It was a bad scene.” Lehman said dropping oil down drains or using heavy chemicals on the lawn works its way down to the river and affects the watershed.

Power line hearings planned Residents and stakeholders in the corridors from Red Deer to Vermilion to Edgerton to Provost are invited to a series of open houses next month to hear more about transmission line development in their region. As the demand for power rises, a new 240 kV transmission system is needed, according to the Alberta Electric System Operator. AESO plans the provincial transmission system but doesn’t propose routes for new transmission lines or locations for new substations. These will be proposed by AltaLink and ATCO Electric later in the process and must be approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission. The com-
mission regulates transmission development across the province. The first open house is in Red Deer on Aug. 5, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Black Knight Inn. An open house in Halkirk runs on Aug. 25, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Halkirk Community Hall. A second Red Deer open house is the following day, Aug. 26, at the same time, again at the Black Knight Inn. Stettler’s open house is scheduled for Aug. 27, also the same time, at the Stettler Community Hall.

Mike Piebiak tinkers away on one of his many model cranes. After four years of pursuing the hobby he has elaborate displays and cranes built.
Just crazy about cranes RED DEER MAN IS PASSIONATE ABOUT MODEL BUILDING BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A long-time passion for model building and scene creation has, for the past four years, been focused on building model cranes and scenes utilizing cranes for one Red Deer man. Mike Piebiak has an elaborate set of model cranes he works away at in his free time. He started with the more conventional planes and trains, and still does a little work with trains, but cranes became his passion. He now builds some kits or scenes and sells them or donates them to charity silent auctions, but he also builds them for himself. “It’s only been about three or four years that I really got crazy into it,” said Piebiak. The hard part of assembling the cranes is the cross reeving, running the cables for the cranes which is done by hand. Cross reeving puts cables through pulleys as support for both the boom and other parts of
the crane, it also helps the crane move. “You have to know cross reeving. If you just run it in and out it would physically tighten itself up or unravel, by cross reeving it. “It allows the crane to be exerted so the cable stays constant by itself.”

Canada says talks on track DESPITE REPORT GERMANY TO REJECT EU-CANADA DEAL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The Canadian government isn’t commenting directly on a report Germany is poised to reject a proposed trade deal between Canada and the European Union, instead insisting that work to finalize the agreement remains on track. The German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung cited diplomats in Brussels as saying Berlin won’t sign the deal in its current form. The sticking point is the legal protections granted to for-
eign investors, the newspaper said Saturday. Critics say such provisions give companies too much power by allowing them to sue governments for unfair treatment. A senior European Commission official told the German newspaper the trade deal is seen as a test on the issue for a far larger deal in the works with the United States, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. Shannon Gutoskie, a spokeswoman for International Minister Ed Fast, did not speak to the German newspaper re-
port and would only say negotiations to put the finishing touches on the deal continue. “Excellent progress is being made,” she said in a statement. Canada and the EU reached an agreement in principle on the deal last October after four years of negotiations. The Harper government trumpets the deal, known as the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, as one of the biggest ever — one it says could benefit Canadian business more than NAFTA. A longterm setback has the
potential to be politically damaging to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has staked his government’s reputation on the potentially lucrative agreement. Karel de Gucht, the EU’s trade commissioner, said this week a finalized agreement was still within reach, though he acknowledged negotiations have been difficult and complex. “It has been very, very arduous to do this,” he told the European Parliament’s international trade committee on Tuesday. The Council of Canadians
cheered the possibility that Germany could reject the proposal. Maude Barlow, the organization’s national chairwoman, said her group has been warning the legal protections granted to investors give foreign corporations the right to dictate domestic policy. “We call it corporate rule. What these investor-state deals do is they give corporations the right to challenge domestic law, and we feel that is profoundly undemocratic,” Barlow said.
ONTARIO UTILITIES
Growth of electric car use hindered BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Ontario’s overabundance of utility firms may pose a major roadblock to the province’s plan to boost electric car ownership, some experts say. The experts say Ontario’s 75 independently operated utilities often overlap their efforts and breed inefficiency, holding back upgrades needed so the grid can support what the province expects will be an influx of electric cars in the next few years. “A lot of work needs to be done if Ontario is going to move toward infrastructure to support electrification of vehicles,” said Hossam Gaber, an energy professor at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. “Having co-ordination is important to avoid waste of time, waste of resources and also, making sure we are not lacking or losing something important.” Plug’n Drive, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the move to electric cars, said about 2,500 of the province’s approximately seven million cars are electric — less than half a per cent. The province said in 2009 it aims for one in 20 cars to be electric by 2020 — at least 380,000, based on current figures. Thomas Timmins, head of the global renewable energy practice at the law firm Gowlings, said grid upgrades are needed as demand for power grows exponentially with charging speed. Fast charging — under an hour — uses up to 10 times the power a household usually consumes. “Everyone’s going to be like, ‘I need to charge in an hour. 'I need to charge in 15 minutes. No, no, I need to charge in five minutes,”’ he said. Some small-scale utilities have as few as three employees and are unequipped to handle the necessary changes, he said. Horizon Utilities’ vice-president of business development, Neil Freeman, said one way to better integrate electric cars would be to merge some of the utilities. “It would be easier to implement those innovations and it would be of lower cost,” he said. “There would be less administrative cost for larger utilities than 70 different implementations.” Provincial boards proposed some forms of merger in 1996 and again in 2012, but officials never acted on those recommendations. Some firms, however, did merge of their own volition after 1996, dropping the number of utilities — 393 at its peak in 1932 — to close to current levels.

Boeing Co. CEO apologizes for cowering remark UNIONS DECRY COMMENT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — Boeing Co. CEO Jim McNerney apologized Friday for saying the aerospace giant’s employees were “cowering” during his tenure, a comment one union official called “a new low” in the company’s relationship with workers. McNerney made the remark during a Wednesday call with analysts when he was asked if he is thinking about retiring after he turns 65 next month. McNerney said he won’t retire because “the heart will still be beating, the employees will still be cowering,” The Seattle Times reported. In an apology sent companywide, McNerney said the comment made during a call about the company’s quarterly results was a “joke gone bad.”
Boeing employees and union leaders didn’t find it funny. Machinists union international President Tom Buffenbarger issued a statement Friday saying the “unfunny and unnecessary remarks” serve as a “reminder that the Jack Welch style of anti-personnel management is still alive and well at Boeing.”
The union that represents engineers, the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, posted a printable, foldable poster on their website saying, “If I’m away from my desk, then I must be cowering somewhere. Please leave a note.” Boeing spokesman John Dern said McNerney apologized before the unions called for an apology. The CEO’s message said in part: “I was simply trying to make light of my age and tenure at the company on a question that I have been asked at least a dozen times over — BOEING CO.

However, political and economic factors can have a big impact on investor sentiment and how those markets perform, and investors should consider investment options best suited to specific markets. “Investing in global markets is an excellent way to provide return opportunities over the long term and complement Canadian investments,” said Rajiv Silgardo, co-CEO of BMO Global Asset Management. “Additionally, given the wide spectrum of economic, TALBOT social and political factors that affect global markets, BOGGS and how those markets react to changing conditions, investors should consider both active and passive investments through mutual funds and ETFs depending on their views on specific markets.” During a recent panel discussion on global investments, BMO investment specialists shared their thoughts on the prospects for some of the world’s foreign markets.
MONEYWISE
The outlook for North America for the rest of the year is reasonably good. North America is driven by the U.S. economy, which is expected to pick up in the second half of the year due to stronger business, consumer and government spending, and job creation. This will result in modest growth or flat returns in bonds, as the Federal Reserve modestly increases interest rates and modest growth in equities. “It’s a pretty decent backdrop for the economy and capital markets but it certainly will be a struggle on the equity front to deliver better than single-digit returns,” said Paul Taylor, BMO chief investment officer in Toronto. The outlook for Europe is anything but rosy. “There’s very little to get excited about, particularly in continental Europe,” said Tony Cousins, CEO of Pyrford International in London. “The good news is that the recessions, in terms of negative growth, have more or less come to an end. But we haven’t seen positive growth return to continental European economies and there’s not a lot of ground to expect a strong rebound in growth. There’s very little in the way of new fiscal or monetary stimulus.” The Euro has gone up 12 per cent against the U.S. dollar over the last two years, making exporting more challenging. Many European nations are experiencing high unemployment and are saddled with high debt, the worst being Greece, which is approaching debt of

190 per cent of gross domestic product, but also Italy, Portugal, Ireland and Spain. Tension between Russia and Ukraine is a major concern for investors that is affecting markets. “It’s a pretty downbeat assessment of the prospect for equities,” Cousins said. “Europe is in no way finished, however. It’s still possible to find very high quality, wellmanaged companies that are world leaders in intellectual property-based industries. Some good stock picking can still find some excellent opportunities.” On a more positive note, Serge Pepin of LGM Investments in London is relatively optimistic about emerging markets, such as India, Brazil, Thailand and Turkey. There are numerous vulnerabilities in these regions in terms of social tension and slowdowns in economic growth, as well as economic concerns in China, but investors seem to be putting these behind them and actively investing in these regions. Recent data out of the U.S. shows that investment flows in mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) of emerging market securities, both stocks and bonds, have been net positive for the past couple of months. “Two months don’t necessarily make a trend, but after 10 straight months of net selling it definitely is encouraging to see,” Pepin said.

INVESTORS: Bargains in emerging markets Investors currently are seeing bargains in emerging markets, which have underperformed developed markets over the past 18 months, creating great value. “We see tremendous opportunities in sectors such as consumer, health care, telecommunications and information technology,” Pepin said. “Since individual emerging markets have different factors at play; it’s more difficult to consider them as one big homogenous block, and investors may want to consider actively-managed market funds rather than a passive option.” The big winner in Asia has been India, where a new centre-right government recently won a majority for the first time in more than 30 years. “Market players have clearly been quite enthusiastic about this,” said Amit Prakash, manager of BMO Asset Management in Asia. “The Indian equity markets are one of the best performing in the region, going up 15 per cent this year, and the Indian rupee, which was one of the weakest last year, is up over five per cent, providing a very attractive return to international investors.” Investors serious about global markets should seek the advice of a global investing specialist. “A global asset manager who offers a comprehensive range of solutions powered by global insights and expertise can help identify opportunities in various types of market cycles,” Silgardo said. Talbot Boggs is a Toronto-based business communications professional who has worked with national news organizations, magazines and corporations in the finance, retail, manufacturing and other industrial sectors.
MERGERS: Not forced Ministry of Energy spokeswoman Andrea Arbuthnot said the province will not force mergers, but expects firms themselves to form “innovative partnerships.” She said the government has pumped $50 million into research on smart grids — systems that provide feedback so utilities can identify high-demand areas — which should help ensure electric car owners get the power they need without overwhelming the grid. About $14 million of the funds have been doled out so far but Arbuthnot said the province will announce where the rest will go in the “near future.” Meanwhile, some are taking steps to ensure the existing electric cars are integrating well into the grid in certain areas. Plug’n Drive is providing lists of those who buy home chargers to 14 major utilities in the province to monitor usage, said outreach manager Ron Groves. “The idea there is that if they see a cluster happening — of five, six, 10 electric vehicles in a neighbourhood — they can make a decision as to whether the infrastructure there can handle the load.”
Canada’s trucking sector finally looking at upswing BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — High personal debt levels and rising taxes in Ontario and Quebec are constraining Canadian economic growth needed to support a recovery of the trucking sector, says the chief executive officer of TransForce, the country’s largest trucking company. Alain Bedard also said the industry was hit by plant closures in the manufacturing heartland of Ontario and Quebec, but he is hopeful that a recovery will begin next year. “At best, we will probably see some improvement in 2015, slowly, very slowly in Canada,” he said in an interview. It’s a viewpoint shared by David Bradley, president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance, which represents carriers, owner-operators and industry suppliers. “I think it’s approaching our time,” said Bradley who estimates the industry is “probably 90 to 95 per cent” back from its low point, with some parts of the country and customers doing better than others. The sector has been under pressure since 2006 when a rise in the Canadian dollar choked off southbound demand that had been growing for 20 years. The industry then moved into “unchartered waters” in 2008 when the financial collapse caused a 30 per cent reduction in volumes, forcing many drivers to flee their rigs. The Canadian industry generally tracks the economy, so the outlook this year is for “modest choppy growth,” said Bradley. “Increases in volumes have been modest but sustainable and I think that people are generally optimistic,” he said in an interview from Ottawa. “People have long memories and it wasn’t too long ago that we were in a multi-year great recession.” Analyst Walter Spracklin of RBC Capital Markets recently raised his estimates for Canadian trucking companies on evidence pointing to improved industry fundamentals. “We believe the industry is approaching an inflection point where demand (via higher volumes) is beginning to overtake supply, affording carriers greater pricing power that should translate into im-
proved financial results going forward,” he wrote in a report. Spracklin said private trucking companies have a more positive assessment of current freight activity than public carriers. “We see the positive commentary from the private carriers as a precursor to what we believe will be a formal shift in guidance by public company executives, possibly as early as this quarter.” He said TransForce and Ontario-based Contrans (TSX:CSS), the largest specialty trucker in Ontario, are best-positioned to profit from the improving outlook. The two companies agreed on a friendly deal Thursday that would see TransForce (TSX:TFI) become a dominant player in the country’s specialized trucking sector. Bedard said TransForce’s goal is to increase its pre-tax operating income (EBIT) by one percentage point annually through internal cost cutting. The Canadian dollar hovering around 94 cents US may also provide a little boost to exports, he added. Edward Malysa, president and chief operating officer of Trimac Corp. (TSX:TMA) has another concern. He says a shortage of drivers is the biggest challenge facing trucking industry during the next decade. “We can see some pricing increases (but) I don’t think that we’re overly optimistic that tomorrow the prices are going to go up 10 per cent, because we can’t get drivers,” he said in an interview. The Conference Board of Canada says the country is headed for a severe truck driver shortage because many drivers are set to retire and few candidates waiting in the wings. Its study released last March said Canada could experience a shortage of about 30,000 truck drivers by 2020. It said a change in policy to recognize trucking as a skilled trade could attract more domestic and immigrant entrants into the industry. Malysa also said salaries will need to increase, perhaps by 10 per cent, to help offset the lifestyle hardship facing long-haul drivers who spend long periods of time away from their families. Trimac is short about 100 drivers, or a little less than 10 per cent of its workforce of 1,200. Malysa said the improving U.S. economy has exposed challenges because so many drivers left the field during the downturn.
25 years on, Loblaw still pushes going green When Loblaw (TSX:L) decided to start selling environment-friendly products 25 years ago, the word green had barely evolved from being a colour description. The grocery giant was the first major Canadian retailer to showcase a line of green-branded products and wasn’t completely confident customers would be willing to pay more to save the planet. Even the man spearheading the initiative, folksy pitchman Dave Nichol, wouldn’t have considered himself a bona-fide tree-hugger. “Dave used to ask me why I was wasting my bloody time... trying to save the bloody planet,” said Paul Uys, who worked with Nichol — who died last year at age 73 — to launch President’s Choice G.R.E.E.N in June 1989. “But right from the get-go, he had believed that the market, therefore the consumer, was ready for a game change in terms of having the ability to make a difference.” Nathalie St-Pierre, with the Retail Council of Canada, said the appetite for eco-friendly products has grown in the last few decades, with consumers now demanding choices that can lessen their impact on the earth. “Consumers are concerned,” said St-Pierre, the group’s vice-president for sustainability in Quebec. “They want to buy green.” Consumers are also taking on a more holistic view about what it means to be green. For instance, some consumers see buying local or organic food and items with less packaging as another way to help the planet. “There’s a large variety of perspectives on what is environmental or green or sustainable, and what it means,” St-Pierre said. “It’s more embedded with our thinking.” Even though consumers may still want to shop green, they also expect retailers to be able to provide products at comparable prices to competing non-green brands. “They’re being cau-
tious and, so, when they decided to make the purchases, they will look at the price,” said St-Pierre. “It’s certainly a key factor. It’s not because they don’t care about the environment. They just have to make choices.” According to Statistics Canada, the proportion of households who say they purchased environmentally friendly cleaning products has been steadily increasing since 2007. The latest available statistics showed that 85 per cent of respondents said they purchased these goods, an eight per cent increase from four years earlier. Eleven per cent say they always buy green products, compared with nine per cent in 2007. Statistics Canada conducted the surveys with 15,000 to 21,000 respondents in 2007, 2009 and 2011. Another study re-
leased last month by Nielsen, a global information and measurement company, found that 41 per cent of Canadians recently surveyed said they were willing to pay more for goods or services with a positive social or environmental impact. Forty-four per cent say they have made such a purchase in the past. The Nielsen study involved about 500 Canadian consumers between Feb. 17 to March 7. Loblaw’s pitchman Nichol, who died in September, may not have been a true environmentalist but he had an intuitive business sense, said Uys, who has since retired from the supermarket chain. “History will say it was possibly en vogue rather than real intention, but there was a growing consumerism around reuse, reduce and recycle,” Uys said. Loblaw’s eco-friendly product line of house-
hold products and foods started with about 100 items — ranging from non-bleached coffee filters to low-fat popcorn. The products, now branded as PC Green, PC Organics and PC Blue Menu items, still remain a large part of the grocer’s offering today. But ad agency executive Jack Bensimon believes that environmentalism for the sake of saving the planet may in fact be waning with consumers. Instead, he thinks consumers are more likely now to make purchases that benefit themselves first and, if they also
help the environment, then it’s considered an added bonus. “There is a slight retrenchment in altruism, solely for the sake of the planet,” said Bensimon, the co-founder of Bensimon and Byrne, a Toronto agency that has commissioned previous reports on green consumerism. “Perhaps an offsetting trend is doing the right thing for yourself, which can help the planet in some instances.” In the end, consumers are making these choices based on money. “The sense people have is that things are
more expensive and they can afford less,” said Bensimon. “In an environment where consumers are feeling tapped out, it’s harder for them to make altruistic decisions on the basis of I’ll pay extra to do the right thing for the planet.” Mary MacIsaac, Loblaw’s senior director of brands, said consumers want to be able to go green without sacrificing quality or price. “In the past, consumers were willing to trade off a little bit of performance for the environmentally agenda, but now, performance has to be there,” she said.

Seth Rogen surprised that North Korea is angry at his new film BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Paul Rudd, left, and Michael Douglas, cast members in the upcoming Marvel film Ant-Man, take part in the Marvel panel at Comic-Con International on Saturday, in San Diego, Calif.
Meet the Ant-Man people MICHAEL DOUGLAS, PAUL RUDD, EVANGELINE LILLY, COREY STOLL REVEAL THEMSELVES SAN DIEGO — The Ant-Man cast is set. Paul Rudd was previously revealed as the tiny title superhero. But at Marvel’s Comic-Con panel Saturday, Evangeline Lilly confirmed she’ll play Hope Pym. Michael Douglas plays her dad, Dr. Hank Pym. And Corey Stoll is set to play the villain Darren Cross, also known as Yellowjacket. Rudd called the role “a mindbender.” Douglas said he’d long looked at Marvel films “from afar with tremendous envy” and was excited to join the comic-based world. Director Peyton Reed, who took over for Edgar Wright after he exited over creative issues, has been coming to Comic-Con for 20 years and been an Ant-Man fan for even longer. Rudd confessed in an interview after the panel that Wright’s departure was “a bit intense” for the cast. “It undoubtedly hit some speed bumps,” Rudd said. “I’m just thrilled that we’re at where we’re at now. . And I know
it will continue to evolve.” L i l l y , who’d been keeping her casting a secret and denying it in Comic-Con interviews, said Wright “had been the guy to really rope us in. And his vision and his excitement and his passion and his ability as a filmmaker was part of the appeal, originally.” The cast still wants to honour his vision, she said. “He really constructed the foundation and the backbone of what we are going to work from,” she said.
“And we just want to do right by him and make him proud.” Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige said production on the film, due in theatres next summer, is set to begin in two weeks. Even though shooting hasn’t begun, filmmakers offered a peek at the film’s look. A brief clip showed Dr. Pym’s laboratory and a diminutive superhero piloting a fly.

MONTREAL — Seth Rogen breaks into his trademark laugh when he’s asked if he’s sought Dennis Rodman’s help in smoothing things over with North Korea because of his latest film. “No, I’ve stayed away from him,” he said during a red carpet ceremony at the Just for Laughs Awards on Friday where he was the co-winner of the comedy directors of the year prize. Earlier this year, Rodman and other retired NBA players visited North Korea for an exhibition game. Rodman appeared friendly with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and was widely mocked in North America after he sang Happy Birthday to him. The basketball player later apologized and said he wouldn’t go back to the North. The North Koreans have gone so far as to lodge a complaint with the United Nations over Rogen’s upcoming film The Interview. In the film, which is set for release in October, Rogen and James Franco portray television journalists who get an interview with Kim Jong Un and are enlisted by the Central Intelligence Agency to assassinate him. The North Koreans, in a letter to the UN dated June 27 and quoted by the Los Angeles Times, accused the United States of “sponsoring terrorism as well as an act of war” in allowing the movie to be made and distributed. The Canadian-born Rogen, who is known for such fare as the comedies This Is the End, Pineapple Express, Superbad and Freaks and Geeks is baffled by the country’s reaction. “It’s kind of shocking,” he said. “I can’t even believe that they even know it exists at this point. We thought it would happen once it came out. I wonder what they’ll say when they see it.” However, being threatened with war by a state with nuclear weapons does have its advantages, it seems. “I think as far as getting the movie out there, it’s been helpful,” the bearded TV and film star said laughing. “It lends itself to the whole premise of the movie which is that it’s a kind of a ridiculous situation going on over there and as bad as it is, it’s bizarre at the same time and I think is worthy of mockery.” Rogen shared the comedy directing award with his frequent collaborator and fellow Vancouverite Evan Goldberg. “They talk big over there,” Goldberg said of the North Koreans with a smile. “They say crazy stuff all the time.” Rogen had a few reasons to attend the comedy festival. He also hosted a gala show on Saturday evening to benefit the “Hilarity for Charity” fund started by him and his wife Lauren Miller. The fund, which is part of the National Alzheimer’s Association, raises money for families struggling with Alzheimer’s care. It also benefits support groups and research into the disease. “Mostly it’s trying to raise awareness among young people, that it’s something that needs a lot more attention,” Rogen said. The actor explained he had a personal reason for taking up the cause. “My mother-in-law was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s.” He appreciated the help of the comedy festival, which will donate part of the proceeds from the show to the fund.

Clark overtakes Furyk in final round to win Canadian Open BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — When Jim Furyk’s charge to a third RBC Canadian Open title stalled in the final round, Tim Clark decided to go for it. The 38-year-old South African, whose wife is Canadian, fired five birdies on the back nine to overtake Furyk on the 15th hole and hold on to win the US$5.7 million tournament at Royal Montreal on Sunday. Recovering from a firsthole bogey that put him four shots off the lead, Clark shot a five-under-par 65 to finish at 17-under-par 263 and claim his second career PGA Tour victory and the $1,026-million winner’s prize. “It looked like Jim wasn’t going to make any mistakes,” said Clark, who had moved into contention with a 64 on Saturday. “He was pretty solid, so I knew I had to make birdies. “At that point, there was nothing to lose. Suddenly I got hot and I went with it.”
It was another frustrating defeat for Furyk, who has now lost seven tournaments in a row in which he led after 54 holes. He went into the final round with a three-stroke cushion but never found traction. He shot 69 to come second at 16-under 264. “I kind of controlled my own destiny,” said Furyk. “I’ve got to shoot three or four (under par) and it would have been impossible to catch me, or darn near it. “I left the door open with even par on the front nine and Tim took advantage and shot 30 on the back.” Furyk has not won since a victory at the 2010 Players Championship that gave him the FedEx Cup title and PGA player of the year honours. He fell short in a bid to join elite company in Tommy Armour, Sam Snead and Lee Trevino by becoming the fourth player to win the Canadian Open three times after his victories in 2006 and 2007. Instead, it went to the
stocky Clark, the long putter user who needed a win after battling elbow trouble in recent years. The win moved him from 85th to 27th in FedEX Cup standings and gave him entry into next week’s World Golf Championship event in Akron, Ohio and into the PGA championship. He also gets fully exempt status on the PGA Tour through the 2015-16 season. While Graham DeLaet’s bid to became the first Canadian to win his national open in 60 years fell short, the trophy went to a player with connections, and a history, in Canada. Clark’s wife Candice is from Toronto and has family in Montreal. He won his first professional tournament at the New Brunswick Open on the Canadian Tour in 1998 and followed a week later with a win at the CPGA Championship.

Blue Jays 5 Yankees 4 NEW YORK — Jose Bautista decided it was time to take charge, not with his bat but with his feet. The Toronto slugger stole second base without a throw with two outs in the ninth inning and scored when Dioner Navarro hit a go-ahead single, lifting the Blue Jays over the New York Yankees 5-4 Sunday for their first series win in the Bronx in nearly two years. “I just took a chance and said I’m going to try and take a hop step when he comes set, and if he doesn’t fake, I’m going to run,” said Bautista, who chose to run on his own against David Robertson. “He went to the plate, and I had the easiest stolen base. I got in scoring position early in the at-bat for Dioner.” Robertson (1-3) blamed himself for letting Bautista run just ahead of Navarro’s liner to centre field. “I just let him slip. I didn’t think he’d be going, Robertson said. ”I just didn’t have my sharp stuff.“ After snapping a 17-game skid at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, Toronto did not relent in the humidity even when it wasted three leads. The Blue Jays won for the seventh time in 10 games following the All-Star break — the same record as the Yankees. But their first series win in New York against the AL East rival since Aug. 27-29, 2012, sent Toronto to Boston with a one-game lead over the Yankees for the second AL wild card. “Within our team, it’s more of a statement that we won’t accept losing to anybody, because we are known as a team that doesn’t give up and always battles and tries to come back from any game that we’re in,” Bautista said. Aaron Sanchez (1-0) gave up Carlos Beltran’s tying RBI hit in the eighth. Munenori
Kawasaki had put Toronto ahead with a sacrifice fly that followed Dellin Betances’ two-base error on a pickoff attempt. “My cleat got stuck,” Betances said. “As soon as that happened I had a feeling I was going to throw it away.” Juan Francisco homered off Shane Greene leading off the fifth to put Toronto up 2-0. But Chase Headley hit his first homer with the Yankees, a drive off J.A. Happ, and two pitches later Francisco Cervelli hit his first homer in 15 months to tie it in the sixth. Casey Janssen pitched the ninth for his 16th save. Derek Jeter made two nice stops at shortstop and Brendan Ryan, a shortstop playing second base, also flashed some impressive leather while playing in Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. The injured star was on the East Coast for a second opinion on his hip flexor from a doctor in Philadelphia. Bautista had a run-scoring grounder to first base after Jose Reyes led off the game with a single and Melky Cabrera doubled. Francisco led off the fifth with a drive into the second deck in right field for a 2-0 lead. But Happ gave it all back in a three-pitch span in the bottom half. First, Headley hit a drive deep to left. With a 1-0 count, Cervelli sent a shot to right-centre that glanced off a leaping Cabrera’s glove and hit the top of the right-field wall. Cervelli hadn’t homered since April 25, 2013, a span of 65 at-bats. Rausmus put Toronto back up with a double to left-centre in the sixth, chasing Greene after 5 1-3 innings. “I got to have a short memory, but that one hurt,” Greene said of the pitch to Rasmus. Greene allowed eight hits and three runs in his second straight difficult outing after beginning his career as a starter with two outstanding outings.
Crowning of an ‘emperor’ at Tour de France NIBALI GIVES ITALY ITS FIRST TOUR DE FRANCE WINNER SINCE 1998 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — Vincenzo Nibali put his lungs and legs to work one last time, marching up to the winner’s podium of the Tour de France and sighing deeply before the Italian anthem echoed over the ChampsElysees. Chants of “Vin-cen-zo!” rang across the famed avenue for the Sicilian, who dominated the race nearly from the start three weeks ago and on Sunday became the first Italian to win cycling’s greatest race since Marco Pantani in 1998. Marcel Kittel of Germany won Stage 21 in a sprint, his fourth victory this year. Nibali cruised in 24 seconds later, easily retaining a lead of more than seven minutes on his closest rival. He received pats on the back, kissed his wife and infant daughter and was mobbed by cameras. “Now that I find myself on the highest step on the Champs-Elysees podium, it’s more beautiful than I ever imagined,” Nibali, the Arc de Triomphe behind him, told the crowd. “I’ve never been this moved in all my life.” Nibali, likened by some
as the emperor of the pack, conquered where others did not: notably Chris Froome of Britain, the 2013 Tour winner, and two-time champion Alberto Contador of Spain. Both crashed out with injuries before the halfway mark. As if mountain climbs, bone-jarring cobblestones, crashes and rain-splattered rides weren’t enough, Nibali faced the scrutiny that comes with the yellow jersey in a sport long damaged by drugs. Nibali, who calls himself “a flag-bearer of anti-doping,” noted that his success came through pinpoint focus on this race as the season began and opportunistic attacks in which he was able to nibble seconds on his rivals. There were no eye-popping performances, as was the case when doping was so prevalent. The Astana team leader is only the sixth rider to win all three Grand Tours — France, Italy and Spain. His win comes 16 years after Pantani, a flamboyant rider, died from a drug overdose. Nibali won four stages — a feat not equalled by a Tour winner since Lance Armstrong won five a decade ago. The Italian wore the yellow jersey for all but two stages since Stage 1. His seven-min-
ute, 37-second margin over runner-up Jean-Christophe Peraud equals that of Armstrong over Swiss rider Alex Zulle in 1999 — a result nullified because of doping. Before that, the biggest margin was that of Germany’s Jan Ullrich: He beat Richard Virenque by just more than nine minutes in 1997. Christian Meier of Sussex, N.B., finished 121st, 4:05.13 off Nibali, while Svein Tuft of Langley, B.C., was 131st, 4:22.52 behind. In one of the subplots of this race, Peraud and third-placed Thibaut Pinot became the first Frenchmen to reach the Tour podium since Virenque in that year — a fact not lost on many homegrown fans. Pinot was 8:15 behind. Armstrong, Ullrich and Virenque were caught in nearly a generation of doping scandals. Armstrong, in cycling’s biggest scandal, admitted to doping and was stripped of his record seven Tour titles. Nibali and many others in the peloton say that era is past. But his own victories in the 2010 Vuelta and the Italian Giro last year were tarnished by doping involving other riders.

Ford leads Riders to rout of Argos CFL SATURDAY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Roughriders 37 Argonauts 9 REGINA — Will Ford wasn’t sure if he’d be the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ starting running back when he signed with the CFL club earlier in the week. But after a three-touchdown performance Saturday night to lead the Riders over the visiting Toronto Argonauts 37-9 at Mosaic Stadium, Ford made a strong case for himself. An East Division All-Star with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2013, Ford says he came to Regina ready for any chance he’d get. “Opportunities are limited, so you’ve got to take advantage of them no matter what,” he said. “I came here to work and put the team in a position to win.” The newly signed running back scored first-half touchdowns of 20, three and two yards in his debut for Saskatchewan (2-2), while running for a total of 113 yards. He also had 24 receiving yards. Ford’s three touchdowns on the ground were one shy of the single-game franchise record held by Ferd Burket, Milson Jones and George Reed. The injury-depleted Argonauts (1-4) meanwhile, dropped their third straight game. Toronto’s lone victory came against the Riders at Rogers Centre in Week 2. As good as Ford was in his debut, Saskatchewan quarterback Darian Durant held off on referring to him as the team’s “answer at running back.” “Man, you can never crown anyone off of one game — it’s a long way to go,” said Durant, who connected on nine of 17 pass attempts for 155 yards and an interception. “I think Will still has some improving to do ... He did a great job of running the ball in key situations. “But we all have to pick our game up.” Ford echoed his quarterback’s words. “It’s going to take time,” he said. “I’ve got a few mistakes that I’ve got to work on. I stay down on myself when I make mistakes. I’m going to watch film, correct those mistakes and see what happens.” Roughriders coach Corey Chamblin said he wasn’t expecting a perfect game from Ford.

Toronto Argonauts quarterback Ricky Ray tries to recover a fumbled ball under pressure from Saskatchewan Roughriders safety Tyron Brackenridge during the second half of CFL football action in Regina, Sask., Saturday, July 26, 2014. The Saskatchewan Roughriders defeated the Toronto Argonauts 37-9. “He hadn’t even been close to a training camp for us,” Chamblin said of his new running back. “Just throwing him in there, we expected some mistakes. ... But we just wanted to play fast in spite of it, and I thought the guys did that.” Durant surpassed the 2,500 career rushing yards mark, picking up 28 yards on the ground and running in a touchdown during the game. Argos quarterback Ricky Ray, meanwhile, was 23-of-35 passing for 221 yards and two interceptions. Toronto backup Trevor Harris completed 8-of12 passes for 80 yards. While Durant and Ford took care of the offence, Saskatchewan’s defence also played its part, stifling Ray and the Argos throughout the game. Toronto running back Curtis Steele was held to just 32 yards on the ground on seven carries. Maurice Mann led Argos receivers with 62 yards. Tiger-Cats 33 Redblacks 23 HAMILTON, Ont. — Dan LeFevour stole the spotlight from Henry Burris on Saturday night. LeFevour threw for 361 yards and a touchdown and rushed for a game-high 109 yards and a TD in his first CFL start, leading the Hamilton Ti-
ger-Cats past the Ottawa Redblacks 33-23. Burris was making his first appearance in Hamilton since being released by the club in January after it signed Zach Collaros as a free agent. Burris served as the Ticats starter for two seasons and led the squad to a Grey Cup appearance last year while also tutoring LeFevour. Although LeFevour spoiled Burris’s return, LeFevour downplayed any suggestion the game was about the quarterbacks. “It had nothing to do with him,” LeFevour said. “It was just good to see him. “I talked to him during the week and after the game . . . he was encouraging me. He’s a great guy, he really is.” LeFevour, 27, was an impressive dual threat for Hamilton (1-3). He completed 21of-30 passes while also running 13 times, his one-yard TD at 9:44 of the fourth snapping a 23-23 tie. The big play was LeFevour hitting C.J. Gable on an 83-yard screen pass that, with a horse-tackle penalty, put the Ticats at the Ottawa one-yard line to the delight of the Ron Joyce Stadium sellout of 6,500. “You saw what a com-

Kayla Blacquiere scored two goals in the final five minutes of the first half Saturday and the Red Deer Renegades held on for their first win of the Alberta Major Women’s Soccer League season, 2-1 over the host Calgary Alliance. “We really played well and really moved the ball well, we could have had two or three more,” said head coach Paul Morigeau. “It’s something to build on.” Micaela Stone was stellar in the Red Deer net, making three outstanding saves late in the contest. Amber Regnier, Megan Jevne, Savanna Pratt and Chantal Park was solid at the back end and Blacquiere, Kayla Keenan and Celine Jensen were constantly on the attack. On Sunday, the Renegades, with a shorthanded lineup, lost 8-0 to the second place Calgary Callies. Stone was in net again and under fire all game. They finish their season in Edmonton with a game against the Edmonton Angels.

Campbell said LeFevour’s legs were key to Hamilton’s victory. “He’s a runner, if you give him escape lanes he makes you pay,” Campbell said. “We were trying to get him to hold the ball, which he did a couple of times, but he made some plays with his feet . . . then we gave up some huge plays. “Him and Gable, they’re good athletes and you’ve got to be right on those guys because they make big plays.” The Redblacks were coming off their first-ever win, an 18-17 home decision against Toronto last week, and Marcus Henry certainly did his part with 10 catches for 138 yards and a TD. But Burris said his club hurt itself against the Ticats. “We found ways to hurt ourselves,” he said. “We had more opportunities to put more points on the board. “This was one of those matches where the last offence that had the ball was going to win the game. Hamilton did a good job of making big plays, we didn’t make enough big plays. We can’t be shooting ourselves in the foot in those key situations.”
petitor he is,” Hamilton coach/ GM Kent Austin said. “Real strong will to win, threw the ball well. “Early on he pulled the ball down a little too soon but finally settled in and let the game come to him some more. He just really had a command of the offence.” For the first time this season, Gable was a key figure in Hamilton’s offence. The speedy running back ran six times for 62 yards and a TD while adding three catches for a team-high 105 yards as the Ticats rolled up 558 total offensive yards. Burris, 39, finished 27-of-44 passing for 290 yards and two TDs and an interception while throwing his first interception of the season. Ottawa (1-3) pulled into a 23-23 tie on Brett Maher’s 23-yard field goal at 4:41 of the fourth. “He did a good job,” Burris said of LeFevour. “He ran the offence, got the ball to his playmakers and made some plays. “I’m proud of him. I just wish he would’ve saved that for another night but kudos to him.” Ottawa head coach Rick

OPEN: Short “The irony of it is Canada could be the location of my first win and my last one,” he said. “To come back here, it’s full circle. That was 16 years ago when I was just cutting my teeth as a professional golfer and I was fortunate enough to be given some starts up here, so I have fond memories. “It’s certainly one I’ve wanted to win for a long time. Any national championship to me is special. particularly to the people from that country. It’s an honour for me to be the open champion.” Delaet was in contention after he and Furyk tied the course record with 63s in the second round on Friday, but he went 70-68 in the last two rounds to finished at 10-under 270. He took the low Canadian honour by one stroke over Brad Fritsch of Ottawa, who closed with a 64 to end up at 9-under, tied for ninth with Kevin Kisner and Graeme McDowell. “I fell a little short, but it was fun,” said DeLaet, Canada’s top-ranked player. “So many people were cheering for me. Now I know how Tiger and Phil and those guys feel all the time because it was pretty neat. Coming down 18 was a special moment. Justin Hicks shot 64 to leap into third place alone at 13-under 267 in his best performance of the season. Matt Kuchar (65), Michael Putnam (66) and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (66) finished tied for fourth at 11-under 269. DeLaet, from Weyburn, Sask., tied for seventh with Dicky Pride, who matched the

But the 36-year-old in the Ottawa Senators golf shirt used his 64 to finish the event at 9-under. His bogey free round included three birdies and an eagle on the back nine.

TOUR: Doping Cycling’s governing body has made great efforts to halt drug use, but few cycling experts believe the pack is fully clean. Authorities in Italy and France have been among the most aggressive in cracking down on doping, and the victory of an Italian, followed by two Frenchmen, could be a sign the peloton is getting cleaner. Some suggested that Nibali was just the best among the riders still in this Tour. Colombia’s Nairo Quintana, who won the Giro d’Italia in May, didn’t ride. Bradley Wiggins, the 2012 Tour winner, was passed over so his Sky Team could focus on Froome. Then Froome and Contador pulled out.

Caldwell wins bronze in the pool COMMONWEALTH GAMES BY THE CANADIAN PRESS GLASGOW — Hilary Caldwell was a fraction of a second from climbing one step higher on the podium at the Commonwealth Games. The Victoria swimmer had the lead halfway through Sunday’s final of the women’s 200-metre backstroke, only to be passed by two Australian competitors — including one right at the wall — in having to settle for bronze. Caldwell finished 1.27 seconds back of Belinda Hocking for first place, but was just 0.04 seconds off Emily Seebohm’s silver-medal time of two minutes 08.51 seconds. “I knew it was going to be pretty quick. Those Aussie girls are always fast,” said Caldwell, who finished in 2:08.55. “It’s never great to be out-touched (at the wall) for any medal. I was just off the silver and a little bit off the gold today. Caldwell was fastest in qualifying, and swam even faster in the final, but wasn’t able to hold off either Hocking or Seebohm over the final 100 metres in a race that saw Genevieve Cantin of Lac Beauport, Que., finish seventh and Sinead Russell of Burlington, Ont., wind up eighth. “Belinda is always a backhalfer. She’s negative split them before,” said Caldwell. “That’s definitely her strong suit, the back end of the race. I struggled a bit with being sick a bit on and off this year so maybe my fitness isn’t quite where it needs to be.” Still, the 23-year-old collected Canada’s fifth medal at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre through four days of competition. Meanwhile, Remi PelletierRoy of Longueuil, Que., added another bronze for Canada in the men’s 20-kilometre scratch race — the country’s first of the Games in cycling — after the 24-year-old finished third behind New Zealand’s Shane Archbold and Australia’s Glenn O’Shea at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome. “The track program came here with big goals and I think
getting a medal was the very least we were hoping for,” said Pelletier-Roy. “Getting to the last race, it was our last chance to do it so I’m pretty happy to put that on the board for us as a program and for myself.” After four days of competition in Scotland, Canada sits tied for sixth in the overall medal standings with 18 — seven gold, three silver and eight bronze. Katerine Savard of PontRouge, Que., wasn’t able to add to the tally or match her goldmedal winning performance from the women’s 100-metre butterfly in the 50-metre fly, finishing sixth with a time of 26.27 seconds. “To be honest I’m a little bit disappointed,” said the 21-year-old. “I was expecting faster, but I have the 200-metre butterfly (on Monday) so I’m going to focus on that.” England’s Francesca Halshall was first in 25.20 seconds, followed by Arianna Vanderpool Wallace (25.53) of the Bahamas and Australia’s Brittany Elmslie (25.91). Montreal’s Sandrine Mainville was eighth. “The other girls were just faster than me today,” added Savard. “It’s not a really good time for me. A small thing can make a big difference.” Staying in the pool, Calgary’s Yuri Kisil grabbed a surprising fourth-place finish in the men’s 100-metre freestyle behind a trio of Aussies. Kisil qualified for the final with the seventh fastest time, but touched in a personal best 49.27 seconds. Aurelie Rivard of HautRichelieu, Que., finished fourth in the women’s paraswimming 100-metre breaststroke, followed by Katarina Roxon of St. John’s, N.L., in fifth. Ottawa’s Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson was fifth in the women’s 200-metre individual medley, with 17-year-old Sydney Pickrem, who swims out of St-Jerome, Que., finishing eighth. In the only other final involving Canadians, Calgary’s Russell Wood finished seventh in the men’s 50-metre back-

Meanwhile, Toronto’s Brittany MacLean advanced to the women’s 800-metre freestyle final, while Mainville moved onto to the women’s 100-metre freestyle final where she will be joined by fellow Montrealers Victoria Poon and Alyson Ackman. Tera van Beilen of Oakville, Ont., and Kierra Smith of Kelowna, B.C., will swim in final of the women’s 100-metre breaststroke, while Toronto’s Martha McCabe failed to advance. Edmonton’s Richard Funk qualified for the men’s 50-metre breaststroke final, but Vancouver’s Coleman Allen, as well as Evan White and Gamal Assaad, both of Oakville, failed to advance in the men’s 100-metre butterfly. Elsewhere at the Games,
Lanni Marchant, from London, Ont., finished fourth in the women’s marathon, completing the two-loop course that wound around Glasgow in two hours 31 minutes 14 seconds. Mohammed Ahmed raced to fifth in the men’s 5,000 metres on the first day of track and field. The 23-year-old from St. Catharines, Ont., ran 13 minutes 18.88 seconds — a personal best and the third fastest time ever by a Canadian. “Fifth, you know, I was really close but I gave everything I had, I just made tactical errors,” said Ahmed. “I am a bit disappointed, I really wanted to go out there and be right there with those guys. “But I am a bit closer than I was last year and I have another race coming up on Friday (the 10,000 metres) and another Canadian there with me
(Cam Levins) which will make it a little bit easier. So I am just going to go out there and have fun.” Notes: Sultana Frizell of Perth, Ont., threw a Commonwealth Games record in qualifying for Monday night’s women’s hammer throw final.

Magnussen overwhelms rival to claim Games title in pool BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
chael Shelley upgraded his Commonwealth silver medal from 2010 for gold in the marathon, running 2 hours, 11 minutes, 15 seconds through rainy Glasgow. Shelley passed the leading group of runners with four kilometres (2.5 miles) to go, leaving Stephen Chemlany of Kenya to finish second and Abraham Kiplimo of Uganda to earn the bronze. There was a Kenyan one-two in the women’s marathon, with Flomena Daniel winning in 2:26:45 and Caroline Kilel 25 seconds behind. HAMPDEN HERO: One of the most memorable moments at Hampden Park on the first day of athletics competition came from a runner far from the podium. Caleb Mwangangi Ndiku of Kenya won a 5,000 metre-race missing injured Olympic champion Mo Farah in 13 minutes, 12.07 seconds. But Britons like a plucky loser, and it was Rosefelo Siosi, who finished almost four minutes adrift, the crowd cheered loudest for. The 17-year-old Solomon Islands athlete was lapped three times before crossing the line in 16:55.33. The highlight of Sunday should have been Usain Bolt in the 100 heats, but the Jamaican is only taking part in the relay at the end of the week following injury. Instead, Adam Gemili advanced to the semifinals as the fastest qualifier, with the Englishman clocking 10.15.
GLASGOW — Renowned for his bravado, world 100-meter freestyle champion James Magnussen didn’t try to conceal his glee at reasserting his supremacy against a great rival in the pool on Sunday. “I feel loved again,” Magnussen said after leading home an Australia 1-23 to win the Commonwealth title, a podium sweep that strengthened the country’s hold on top spot in the Glasgow Games medals’ standings. Back in April, Magnussen was mortified to be beaten by Cameron McEvoy to the Australian title at the Commonwealth trials — especially having boasted he would break the world record that day. “The trials hurt a bit,” Magnussen said. “It was probably that initial embarrassment of losing.” But “The Missile” is firing again, giving McEvoy the early edge to save himself for the final 25 metres and clock 48.11 seconds to beat his rival by 0.23. Tommaso D’Orsogna was third. Magnussen’s next target is the Pan Pacific Championships in August on Australia’s Gold Coast. “It takes a weight off the shoulders, having lost at trials,” Magnussen said. “I just wanted to get the win tonight to reaffirm to myself I have still got it. I am still going good. Now I can focus on getting my quickest race I can against the Americans in the Pan Pacs.” Away from the Tollcross Swimming Centre in Glasgow, the athletics competitions began. Here are the highlights from the fourth day of the games. STREAK OVER: New Zealand’s 30-game unbeaten Commonwealth Games run in rugby sevens is over.

The U18 squad went on to win gold with a round-robin record of 2-0-1. The Red Deer U16 boys also captured gold with a 6-1 win over Edmonton Victoria, while the U16 girls settled for silver with a 3-0-1 record and the U12 and U14 boys won bronze in their respective divisions. “We went from 34 teams last year to 48 this year and the tournament was an overall success. We got positive feedback and everyone was impressed,” said Red Deer City Soccer Association soccer operations manager Ado Sarcevic.
Catalina swimmer snags nine golds at Canadian Championships WINNIPEG — Red Deer Catalina swimmer Joshua Young made some major waves in the Canadian Age Group Championships at the Pan Am pool. Young, 13, snared nine gold medals and admitted later that he was inspired by U.S. swim legend Michael Phelps. ‘’During the 2012 Olympics I would watch Michael Phelps swim every night before going to bed and that has really motivated me to one day compete at the Games,’’ said Young, who started swimming at the age of nine and was initially afraid of putting his face in the water. ‘’I’ve worked really hard for my success so I feel I’ve earned it,” he added. “The big key for me has been the endurance training.’’ Young won gold in the boys 13 and under 50-metre breaststroke with a time of 30.50 seconds, and the 50m freestyle (25.22) and 100m free (55.41). He also took top honours in the 200m free (2:00.57), 200m breast (2:24.80), 100m breast (1:07.08), 200m individual medley (2:13.64), 400m free (4:15.71) and 1,500m free (16:59.80).
Kyla Leibel of the Catalinas won gold in the 12 and under girls 100m butterfly in a time of 1:05.15, as well as the 50m free in 27.66 seconds and the 50m butterfly in 28.86 seconds. In addition, she earned a silver in the 100m free (1:00.83) and placed seventh in the 200m free (2:17.02) Catalina teammate Rebecca Smith picked up a gold medal in the 14 girls 200m individual medley with a time of 2:20.22, and won silver in the 50m butterfly (28.07) and bronze in each of the 100m free (57.32) and 100m backstroke (1:04.42). She also placed fourth in the 50m free (26.52) and 200m free (2:05.61). Catalina member Kristan Trepanier finished fifth in the 15 girls 200m ‘fly (2:21.71) and 200m free (2:08.07), sixth in the 400m free (4:31.73) and ninth in the 100m ‘fly (1:06.04). Another Red Deer swimmer, Daniel Stayer, finished ninth in the 15 boys 50m free with a time of 24.63 seconds. The Catalinas finished 14th in the national team standings with 458 points. The Sylvan Lake Swim Club placed 103rd with 34 points.
The Red Deer Braves fell short of qualifying for then Baseball Alberta Midget AAA Tier I Provincial Championships on Sunday at Great Chief Park. They fell 8-3 to the Fort McMurray Oil Giants in the qualifying tournament hosted by the Braves, after splitting their round robin games on Saturday. “You could have picked just about any two teams out of the six (to advance) and I wouldn’t have been shocked,” said Braves head coach Cam Moon. “It was unbelievably close.” Ty Wagar started for the Braves and lasted five innings before giving way to Parker Booth. Kane LeBlanc and Jesse Muirhead each had RBI singles in the loss. The Braves opened the tournament with a 10-1 win over the Edmonton Cardinals as Dylan Boreman pitch 6 2/3 innings for the win while also cashing in an RBI single. Levi Moon hit a home run in the seventh inning to break the game open while Jesse Muirhead also had three RBI. The Braves dropped their second game on Saturday 7-4 to the Calgary Red Birds, despite leading 4-2 after two innings. Boreman had two RBI while Ty Elliott and Triston Hill both had RBI singles. Fort McMurray and the Calgary Rockies advanced to the tier I provincials in St. Albert. The Braves now move on to the tier II provincials next weekend, likely in Edmonton. Despite not being the provincial tournament the Braves wanted to be going to this weekend, Moon said they will be ready to go. “It’s an opportunity to play baseball, and when you get to the park and the weather’s good, hopefully, everybody will be fired up to play,” he said. “If we’re playing a provincial tournament or a weekend double header of exhibition games, it doesn’t matter with our group, they will come to play, we’ll have fun.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com
MARLINS Three Red Deer Marlins swimmers brought back 15 medals from the 2014 Alberta Summer Games in Airdrie this past weekend. Lauren Bettenson led the way with three golds (200-metre backstroke, 50-metre freestyle, 50-metre backstroke), one silver (100-metre backstroke) and two bronze (100-metre backstroke, 100-metre freestyle). Cale Kooyman brought back two silver (200-metre breaststroke, 50-metre breastroke) and three bronze medals (100-metre breaststroke, 100-metre individual medley). Claire Halford earned one gold (100-metre freestyle), one silver (200-metre freestyle) and two bronze medals (100-metre IM, 50-metre freestyle). Red Deer Marlins swim-
mers also captured 12 medals, including six gold, and led their club to the team title in the Killam Cyclones meet during the weekend. Winning gold were Hanna Mateika, eight, Jack Walton (11), Erik Sveinson (13), Jane Gosling (14), Amy Cookson (15) and Aidan Johns (15). Rhett Becker, six, earned a silver medal, as did Erika Driesen (12), Liam Stalwick (14) and 15-year-old Tyler Driesen. Sara Mateika, 10, and 14-year-old Carson Schiller won bronze medals. The Forestburg Aquanauts were third in the team standings, followed — in order — by the host Cyclones, Lacombe Dolphins, Ponoka Gators, Hanna Seals, Oyen Otters and Castor Tritons (tie for seventh). Lacombe will host the regionals Aug. 9-10 and swimmers who qualify will move on to the provincials Aug. 16-17 in Edmonton.
Rampage advance to provincial finals for first time since 2007 BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Rampage 10, Warriors 6 The Red Deer TBS Rampage will be looking to make history next weekend with their first ever provincial championship. The Rampage advanced to the provincial tournament with a 3-1 semifinal series win over the Edmonton Warriors on Saturday at the Kinex Arena in Red Deer, winning Game 4 10-6. The Rampage had made it to threestraight North Division championships, but had not advanced to the provincial final since 2007. This year a new format was introduced with the top two teams from both divisions advancing to a tournament in Calgary. The Rampage will be joined by the St. Albert Crude, the No. 1 seed in the North, and the Calgary Jr. Mountaineers and Calgary Chill out of the South. “There was a lot of celebrating because of how tough and physical the series was but we haven’t accomplished anything,” said head coach Ron Just. “We’re definitely happy to be going but the work is just beginning.” Davis Reykdal had three goals and two assists to pace the Rampage’s offence, while Spencer Lee had two goals and three assists. Pearce Just also had two goals with singles coming from Dawson Reykdal, Connor Hartley and Reid Swier. Ryan Beatson had three assists. Darrian Banack picked up the win in net for Red Deer, though he was lifted in the third period for Rhett Baldwin. Tyler Sonnichsen had two goals and an assist for Edmonton while Drew Gingras scored twice. Ryan Ewashko and Andre Stobbe chipped in with one goal each while John McMillan took the loss in net. Game 4, like the previous three, was
closely contested. Though Red Deer opened up an 8-3 lead in the third period, the Warriors got the game to within two goals with 6:58 remaining. But Red Deer stopped the rally with Lee’s first goal of the game, just eight second later. Lee then put the game away at 17:13 of the third period. Just was impressed with the way his team responded after giving up three power-play goals in 1:32, and four goals in 2:57. “It’s an emotional game, you want to stay level headed but still play with intensity — we played undisciplined,” said Just. “We got a bunch of penalties, we deserved everyone we got, but they were dumb penalties ... it was just the emotion caught up with some of the guys. “We’ve probably had more tight games than anyone in the league this year. When we get down tot he end and it’s a two-goal game, I feel pretty good with how our team is going to respond.” Until that point in the third period, the Rampage’s penalty kill was suffocating. They scored three short-handed markers while killing seven other Edmonton power plays. It was a big turnaround from the regular season when the Warriors scorched the Rampage with the man advantage. “Our PK guys really listened to what we wanted to do and really focused on taking away their great shooters,” said Just. “In lacrosse, you should score on three quarters of your power plays, that was the game right there.” The Rampage’s biggest offensive threat during the regular season, Reykdal (33 goals, 42 assists, 75 points in 14 games) backed up his gaudy stats on Saturday night. He posted five points, including a flashy behind-theback goal at 17:54 of the second period to give Red Deer a 6-2 lead into the

Red Deer won 10-6 to advance to the provincial tournament. second intermission. He also assisted on both of Lee’s back-breaking goals in the third frame. “In the third period especially when we started getting into penalty trouble, it was important for us to bear down and get focused, and we scored those two goals and shut them out for the rest of the game,” said Reykdal, 20. “Just mentally sticking to our own game and staying out of the box was the most important thing.” The five-foot-10, 160-pound Reykdal is part of the veteran core of players on
the Rampage. He is in his fourth year of eligibility while they have six players in their final season. But this will not be a case of one final kick at the can before a massive rebuilding program with six first year players gaining valuable experience this season and playing big roles. “I think we’re deeper than every team in the league, so you might have to play four or five games in three days ... so if we play smart it should favour us,” said Just. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Baseball immortality for some of the best THE BIG HURT, GLAVINE, MADDUX, AND MANAGERS TORRE, LA RUSSA AND COX INDUCTED INTO COOPERSTOWN BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Frank Thomas choked back tears, Joe Torre apologized for leaving people out of his speech and Tony La Russa said he felt uneasy. Being enshrined in the Hall of Fame can have those effects, even on the greats. Thomas, pitchers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux, and managers Bobby Cox, Torre and La Russa were inducted into the baseball shrine Sunday, and all paid special tribute to their families before an adoring crowd of nearly 50,000. “I’m speechless. Thanks for having me in your club,” Thomas said, getting emotional as he remembered his late father. “Frank Sr., I know you’re watching. Without you, I know 100 per cent I wouldn’t be here in Cooperstown today. You always preached to me, ’You can be someone special if you really work at it.’ I took that to heart, Pop.” “Mom, I thank you for all the motherly love and support. I know it wasn’t easy.” The 46-year old Thomas, the first player elected to the Hall who spent more than half of his time as a designated hitter, batted .301 with 521 home runs and 1,704 RBIs in a 19-year career mostly with the Chicago White Sox. He’s the only player in major league history to log seven straight seasons with a .300 average, 20 homers, 100 RBIs and 100 walks. Ever the diplomat as a manager, Torre somehow managed to assuage the most demanding of owners in

George Steinbrenner, maintaining his coolness amid all the Bronx craziness while keeping all those egos in check after taking over in 1996. The result: 10 division titles, six AL pennants and four World Series triumphs in 12 years as he helped restore the lustre to baseball’s most successful franchise and resurrected his own career after three firings. Torre, the only man to amass more than 2,000 hits (2,342) and win more than 2,000 games as a manager, was last to speak, and in closing delivered a familiar message. “Baseball is a game of life. It’s not perfect, but it feels like it is,” said the 74-year-old Torre, who apologized afterward for forgetting to include the Steinbrenner family in his speech. “That’s the magic of it.

ALBERTA SUMMER GAMES BASEBALL Zone 4, loaded with Red Deer athletes, finished fourth in baseball at the 2014 Alberta Summer Games in Airdrie on the weekend, losing 10-0 to Zone 2 in Sunday’s bronze medal game. Red Deer Bantam AAA Brave Zach Olson started the game and lasted three innings, giving up five runs on four hits four walks and three strikeouts before leaving with an elbow injury. Rylan Zens from Lacombe finished the game. Zone 4 opened the tournament on Friday with a pair of wins. In the first game they beat Zone 2 8-2 with a host of bantam AAA Braves leading the way: Olson had a double, a single and three tuns batted in; Darin Fodor had two RBI singles and a walk; Ben LeBlanc an RBI single; and Andrew MacCuaig went 5 1/3 innings for the winning, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk with seven strike-
outs. In the second game, they routed Zone 7 7-1, led by Olson with a double and two RBIs, MacCuaig with three singles and bantam AA standout Zach Baker with an RBI single and a walk. Saturday was a different story, losing 7-6 to Zone 6 in their early game, despite two singles, two runs and an RBI from MacCuaig; two singles from Ty Moline (AAA) and an RBI single from Olson. Baker started the game on the mound, going three innings and allowing four runs, three earned, on four hits, one walk and two strike outs. The loss left them in second place in Pool B and in a showdown with Zone 5, the first place team in Pool A, and they lost 10-6 as Olson had a single, a double, a walk and scored twice and Baker and Hunter Leslie (AAA) each added a single.

Glavine was on the mound when the Braves won Game 6 to clinch the 1995 World Series, pitching one-hit ball over eight innings in a 1-0 victory over Cleveland. And the slender lefty was one of those rare athletes, drafted by the Braves and the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League. The 48-year-old Maddux went 355227 with a career ERA of 3.16 in 23 seasons with the Braves, Cubs, Padres and Dodgers and ranks eighth on the career wins list.
Defending Olympic champion Rosie MacLennan takes gold medal at Canada Cup; Red Deer’s Sohn wins silver
TRAMPOLINE
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS NEWMARKET, Ont. — Reigning Olympic champion Rosie MacLennan closed out the Canada Cup by winning gold in individual trampoline on Sunday. MacLennan topped the field with a total of 159.505 points, while Olympian Karen Cockburn, who won bronze at the 2000 Games and silver in 2004 and 2008, finished second with 153.225 points. Fellow national team member Samantha Sendel of Aurora, Ont., was third with 152.780. “I maintained the height and technique I wanted, even though yesterday’s prelim routine was stronger,” said MacLennan, of King City, Ont. Cockburn, 33, returned to national competition in May after taking a 14-month hiatus from the sport to start
a family. “I’m happy I got to come in and get the results I wanted,” she said. “I’ve lost muscle mass in my legs so jumping high is a challenge, but I’ve got my style and form back.” In the men’s individual trampoline, Keegan Soehn of Red Deer, won silver with 159.925 points. Japan’s Tetsuya Sotomura took the gold with 164.685 points, and Daniel Schmidt of Germany won bronze with 153.920. “Today I worked on keeping calm and tried to think of it as just another practice, which seems to have paid off,” said Soehn. Double mini trampoline gold went to Denis Vachon of Burlington, Ont., who scored 147.900 points. Soehn picked up another silver with 145.400, and Dennis Oppenlander of Regina earned bronze with 144.200. Tamara O’Brien of Coquitlam, B.C. won the women’s title. In tumbling, Canadian men’s champion Jon Schwaiger of Burlington won the men’s title and Rachael Letsche of Great Britain took home the women’s gold.
LACROSSE Their continued success also opens the door for a possibility to returning to the senior B level. But, as Flett points out, they are a few years away from that happening. “Maybe a couple of years down the road,” he said. “We really need to graduate some more juniors, you really need a lot of guys for a senior B roster. Just with the travel and the toll on the body is a lot more. It’s better athletes and a better calibre of game and it’s a grind, the senior B season. My wish would be to have a senior B and a senior C team then we could feed the senior B team with senior C players.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

away those two guys, then you have a guy like Ray Williams who gets four goals and Scott Ebbert gets four goals.” Expect the Silverbacks to be back in a similar position next year as they are returning the bulk of their roster. This year they integrated a number of young junior B program graduates into their lineup and they expect to add a few more next year. “We wish them the best if they want to play senior C lacrosse in Calgary or Edmonton, but if they stick around we’d welcome them with open arms,” said Flett. “If we could add a couple of juniors, that really helps having those young legs running up and down the floor.”

Silverbacks 10, Erratic 5 The Blackfalds Silverbacks are provincial champions again. The senior C lacrosse team has been around for three years and have now won their third Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League title by beating the Okotoks Erratic in two games in the best-of-three championship — 9-7 on Friday and 11-5 on Saturday in Blackfalds. “It’s always an honour, it’s our goal at the start of the year in January when we do winter conditioning and throughout the year,” said head coach and player Geordin Flett. “It makes all those practices and bruises and sweat worth it.” Tyler McRobbie and Scott Ebbert both scored twice for the Silverbacks while Adam Reynolds, junior call up Logan Sinclair, Luke Flett, Geordin Flett and Ray Williams all scored for the Silverbacks while Adam Mooney picked up the win in net. Flett said Mooney was named the team’s unofficial provincial MVP for his work in the two games. The spread in goal scoring was indicative of the way Blackfalds approached the final. “The key was loose balls and really spreading the offence around,” said Flett. “We have a couple of guys, my brother Luke and Tyler, that they really keyed on because they led our team in scoring, but you take
sible for giving it the respect it deserves. Our sport is part of the American soul, and it’s ours to borrow — just for a while. If all of us who love baseball and are doing our jobs, then those who get the game from us will be as proud to be a part of it as we were. And we are. This game is a gift, and I am humbled, very humbled, to accept its greatest honour.” The day was a reunion of sorts for the city of Atlanta. Glavine, Maddux and Cox were part of a remarkable run of success by the Braves. They won an unprecedented 14 straight division titles and made 15 playoff appearances, winning the city’s lone major professional sports title. “I’m truly humbled to stand here before you,” Cox said. “To Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux, and I have to men-

Gordon celebrates another Brickyard win WINS FIFTH TITLE ON 20 ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST WIN AT INDIANAPOLIS NASCAR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — With a tinge of grey hair at his temples, his hat on backward and his two young children by his side, Jeff Gordon celebrated as if he was 23 years old again. Gordon won a NASCAR-record fifth Brickyard 400 on Sunday, eight days before his 43rd birthday and on the weekend Indianapolis Motor Speedway celebrated the 20th anniversary of his first Brickyard victory. Gordon’s first win came before the celebratory kissing of the Yard of Bricks was en vogue, before he became a household name, while Sprint Cup Series rookies Kyle Larson and Austin Dillon were still in diapers. Now a family man with an aching back, Gordon used Sunday to show he’s still at the top of his game. “If you can do it here, you can do it anywhere,” said Gordon, who has led the Sprint Cup Series standings for 13 of the last 14 weeks. “It’s certainly going to be a huge confidence boost for this team. We recognize the significance of this. “We saw we were points leaders, we won at Kansas, but I don’t know if we believed we were capable of winning this championship this year. We do now.” To prove it to himself, to his Hendrick Motorsports team and to his ardent fan base, Gordon needed a vintage close to Sunday’s race. Hendrick teammate Kasey Kahne led a race-high 70 laps and seemed only to be racing against his gas tank when a late caution put the race back into Gordon’s hands. He’d have one shot at passing Kahne, on a dreaded restart, and nobody was sure if ol’ “Four-Time” had it in him. Restarts are his Achilles heel, and he’s struggled with them for several years. And Kahne, who is winless on

Jeff Gordon celebrates by slapping the yard of bricks after winning the NASCAR Brickyard 400 auto race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Sunday. the season, desperately needed the victory to grab a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. “The restart is going to be the race, really,” Gordon’s crew chief, Alan Gustafson, conceded in a television interview moments before the field went green with 17 laps remaining. Kahne picked the lower, inside lane for the restart, and Gordon found himself on the outside and exactly where he wanted to be. Gordon tried to set a quick pace as they headed to the flag, and Kahne tried to slow it down in the restart zone. Gordon shifted into fourth gear and surged past Kahne on the outside, and Gordon kicked it into cruise control as he sailed away for the win.
“I think we both knew that was for the win,” Gordon said of Kahne. “Out of nowhere, I have the restart of my life at the most important moment that you could ask for in a race, in a season, at a race like this. That was just awesome.” The win came on the 20th anniversary celebration of Gordon’s win in the inaugural Brickyard 400, and on “Jeff Gordon Day” as declared by the Mayor of Indianapolis. The win moved Gordon into a tie with Michael Schumacher, whose five Formula One victories at Indy had been the gold standard. “I told him this morning that this was his day,” said team owner Rick Hendrick. Kahne plummeted to fifth after the restart, then ran out of gas on the final
lap and had to nurse his car home to a sixth-place finish. He said he erred in picking the inside line for the restart. “I should have chosen the top (lane), obviously,” he said. “I pretty much let Jeff control that last restart. I thought I made the right decision.” Hendrick said he had no favourite in that situation, and hoped only that Gordon and Kahne did not wreck each other. “I know Kasey, he needed a win, and he ran awful good today,” Hendrick said. “But Jeff had the dominant car, so it all worked out.” Kyle Busch finished second, 2.325 seconds behind Gordon, and was followed by Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth. After the race, NASCAR said Hamlin’s car had failed post-race inspection and the parts in question would be taken to North Carolina for another look. Joey Logano was fifth in the highestfinishing car from Team Penske, which brought Juan Pablo Montoya to the race in an effort to get the win. Roger Penske has won a record 15 Indianapolis 500s, but is winless in the Brickyard. Montoya was never a factor and finished 23rd. Larson, who grew up a Gordon fan, finished seventh and likened Gordon’s win on Sunday to Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s season-opening win in the Daytona 500. “To see Jeff Gordon win is pretty special — it’s kind of like Junior winning the 500 this year,” Larson said. Kevin Harvick, the polesitter and the driver with the car most everyone thought would be tough to beat, was eighth and followed by Earnhardt and rookie Austin Dillon. Carl Edwards finished 15th hours after Roush-Fenway Racing finally confirmed he was leaving the team at the end of the season. In addition to his 1994 victory, Gordon also won at the track in 1998, 2001 and 2004. He has 90 Cup wins, third on the career list.
Ricciardo overtakes Alonso to win Hungarian Grand Prix

Williams driver Valtteri Bottas of Finland leads the field after the start during the Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix in Budapest, Hungary, Sunday. to a “massively disappointing” day. “At the end there was one chance to overtake Lewis in the last lap, but it didn’t work out,” Rosberg said. “We need to sit down and analyze internally what went wrong today.” Alonso, the only driver to score
points at every race so far this season, was pleased to get back on the podium. He was third at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai in April. A rain shower just before the start made conditions difficult at the beginning of the race.

BUDAPEST, Hungary — Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull overtook Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso near the end of the race to win a thrilling Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday for his second Formula One victory of the season and his career. Lewis Hamilton, who started from the pit lane after his engine caught on fire during qualifying, was third, holding off Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg, who started from pole position. Ricciardo finished the race 5.225 seconds ahead of Alonso. Hamilton was just 0.632 seconds further back and 0.504 seconds ahead of Rosberg. Ricciardo, an Australian competing in his fourth Formula One season, made three pit stops — compared to just two for Alonso and Hamilton — and his newer set of tires paid off in the end as he surged past the leaders with three laps to go. “We had the fresher tires but I knew it was going to be an exciting finish,” Ricciardo said. “That was a lot of fun, the last few laps. “I am definitely going to celebrate tonight, party for a few days and enjoy a few days off,” he added. Ricciardo won his first F1 race at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal in June and is the only non-Mercedes driver to win this year. Rosberg still leads the championship with 202 points, followed by Hamilton with 191 and Ricciardo with 131. In the constructors’ standings, Mercedes has 393 points, Red Bull 219 and Ferrari has overtaken Williams for
third place, 142 points to 135. Mercedes told Hamilton to let Rosberg pass him as the race was winding down, but Hamilton said he saw no reason to obey team orders considering his good position at the time. “I was very, very shocked that the team would ask me to do that,” Hamilton said. Rosberg “did get close enough to overtake but I was never going to lift off and lose ground to Fernando or Daniel to enable him to have a good race.” “That was a bit strange,” Hamilton added. Hamilton also started from the pit lane at last week’s German Grand Prix and moved up to finish third. He had won the last two races in Hungary and was looking for his fifth win on the twisting, relatively slow Hungaroring. The British driver said his last two performances were “definitely much more satisfying” than even a win achieved from pole position. He said that starting from the pit lane, without a warm-up lap and with a wet track, made the start of the race even more difficult than the final laps when he managed to hold off Rosberg. “It was an interesting beginning of the race and I’m very grateful I got through,” Hamilton said. For Rosberg, fourth place on the Hungaroring was his worst result of the season in a race he finished, though it equaled his best effort on this track. Except for dropping out of the British Grand Prix in Silverstone with gearbox problems, he had finished either first or second in every other race. Rosberg, who has four victories in 2014, one less than Hamilton, admitted

out of his defensive linemen. And the offence has the opportunity to improve with the additions of several new weapons — including receiver Sammy Watkins, a rookie first-round pick. “I’m as confident as we’re sitting right here talking,” Williams said. “I mean, anything’s possible if we come out and we all perform together and we all play together as a team.” Williams’ presence helped play havoc with opposing offences by creating blocking mismatches for his teammates. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams finished with 10 ½ sacks, matching the combined total from his previous three seasons. Linebacker Jerry Hughes had 10 sacks after managing just five in his first three seasons in Indianapolis. “It really is the sum of all parts, but he’s a big part of it,” Kyle Williams said of Mario. “We’d rather have him than most anybody else out there. And we’re glad to have him.” Schwartz might not have as much of a blitzhappy philosophy as Pettine did, but he understands the value of having someone like Mario Williams. He compared the threat Williams poses on defence to what Lions star receiver Calvin Johnson does on offence. “Mario’s got a lot of the same in him. He’s so damn big, and he’s such an explosive player. Even if you move him around, they’re still going to account for him,” Schwartz said. “We can use that to our advantage. I don’t want to stretch it into saying we’ll use him as a decoy. But a great player that gets a lot of attention can create some other things for his teammates.” Williams has always insisted it’s never been about numbers for him. His objective? “Win football games,” Williams said. “It’s that simple.” Being a member of winning teams has mostly eluded Williams since being drafted No. 1 by Houston in 2006. The only time the Texans made the playoffs with Williams was in 2011, when he was sidelined by a torn chest muscle. The itch to be part of a winner has not changed. “I feel the same way,” Williams said. “It should never been different.”
Media star Michael Strahan to carry new title as Hall of Famer BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Michael Strahan had one objective in mind when he came to the New York Giants as a second-round draft pick in 1993 out of Texas Southern. “My goal when I first started was just to make a little money so I didn’t have to move back to my parents’ house,” he says. “I didn’t want to disappoint my parents. So that was my goal, to kind of just make my parents proud, make them happy, play as hard and just do the best I could do.” The best he could do was pretty good: Strahan will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night. Strahan was the leader of a defence that stunned the undefeated Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl. He holds the single-season mark for sacks with 22 1-2 in 2001 — yeah, we know all about Brett Favre’s “dive” for the record-setting sack. He retired with 141 1-2 sacks, seven Pro Bowl appearances and four All-Pro team selections. And while he was a game-changer on the field, he was making his mark elsewhere with his gregarious personality, gap-toothed smile and willingness to step out of his comfort zone. He became a regular in commercials, most notably for Subway. Strahan easily moved from the field to the television studio after retirement, and now is cohost of the “Live! With Kelly and Michael” morning show. But he’s going into the Canton shrine because of his on-field achievements in 15 seasons, all with the Giants. Playing for one team, joining former teammates Harry Carson and Lawrence Taylor in the hall, means plenty to the 42-year-old Strahan. “Just so much history on the side of the Giants,” Strahan says, “and the fact that you can see we all spent our career all in one place,
which just goes to show that it’s a family.” Not that a spot in Canton was on Strahan’s mind when he wore No. 92 for the Giants. “I think, when you once start thinking like that, you’re setting yourself for failure,” he says. “So I just went out and played every year for 15 as hard as I could and just — at the end of it all, it took me years before I looked back on my career and said, ’Man, I did have a pretty good career.’ Other than that, I just look at myself as a football player who happens to play as hard as I could and ended up by going out on the right note on a team that got hot at the right time and won a Super Bowl, and one of the most memorable ones going against an undefeated team.” Strahan had a sack in that game, the final one of his career. He became eligible for the hall in 2013 and was elected this year. Seeing his former teammate and mentor selected for the hall reminds current Giants defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka of Strahan’s refusal to come off the field. Strahan started 205 of his 216 career games, and was no situational player. “I remember him specifically saying, That’s just a chance for somebody to take your spot,’ ” Kiwanuka says. “He’d say, ’I’m never going to come off the field, they’re going to have to drag me off the field.’ You have to have that mentality of a warrior, somebody who’s going to be out there and be accountable every single play.” It takes more than determination, good health and some good fortune to achieve that. Giants general manager Jerry Reese recognizes that. “Michael would get recognized most of the time as a pass rusher, and he was a great one,” Reese says. “But he could also play the run as well as anybody at that position. He was great against the run.” He also was a teacher. Jason Pierre-Paul, the Giants’ main sacks threat these days, notes that Strahan taught Osi Umenyiora the tricks of the trade. Umenyiora passed them along to Kiwanuka, who did the same for Pierre-Paul.
Kearse has gone from undrafted long shot to near lock in making Seattle’s roster BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RENTON, Wash. — Jermaine Kearse sat quietly at the podium for 15 minutes while to his left sat Kobe Bryant and Richard Sherman, and on his right was Grammy winning hip-hop artist Macklemore, all answering questions. Not once was Kearse asked a question during his appearance at the recent charity event, even if the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver was the only one to have scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl. “They kept naming everyone and they skipped me. That was messed up,” Kearse joked. Once an undrafted free agent and seeming longshot to make the Seahawks roster, Kearse might now fall into the category of being a lock when the final 53-man roster is submitted at the end of the preseason. It’s a rise from being overlooked coming out of college to becoming established in the NFL that has become a familiar story for the Seahawks. Kearse’s numbers do not scream of being a lock. He has 25 career catches in two seasons. But his knack for making important plays and contributing on special teams has his spot seeming secure. “I just try and take every year as a new year in
just trying to make the team again,” Kearse said. “I don’t like getting complacent.” Looking back on last season, Kearse made two of the biggest catches — bookends — during Seattle’s Super Bowl run. The first came in the season opener at Carolina, when he hauled in a leaping 43-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson that gave Seattle the lead in the fourth quarter of the 12-7 victory. Then came his 35-yard touchdown catch in the NFC championship game against San Francisco on a fourth-quarter, fourth-down play that gave Seattle the lead for good. The Super Bowl was just the capper. Kearse had a season-high four receptions and a spinning, tackle-breaking 23-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the blowout victory over Denver. Kearse was already receiving an expanded role last season, but when Sidney Rice went down midseason with a torn ACL, the amount he needed to contribute increased. “Sid even came up to me after that, he came up to me and said, ’This is your opportunity. Go out there and do the best that you can, make your plays when they come to you,’ and that shows you the type of group that we have. Especially with Sid, he was one of my really good friends, not just a teammate. Just to have that conversation with him and for him to tell me to go out there and ball. I took that and tried to do the best I could.”

Spain bests Sweden at International Crown BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Their bond goes far beyond their designation as teammates, and as a whole they are far more than merely a quartet of players thrown together to represent Spain. The foursome that won the inaugural International Crown on Sunday have been friends on and off the golf course for years, which goes a long way toward explaining why Spain played so well as the fifth seed against many of the finest women golfers in the world. Carlota Ciganda breezed to an early victory to set the tone, and Spain won all four of its singles matches in the final round to win the coveted trophy. “Even though we were maybe the underdogs because of the seedings, I knew deep inside that what you need in a team championship is what we have,” said Belen Mozo, who clinched the title with a 3-and2 win over Moriya Jutanugarn of Thailand. “We have always played together, we have always won together. Coming in, we knew we had that advantage over the other teams.” Sweden finished second in the tournament that began Thursday with 32 players from eight countries. The top-seeded United States was among three teams eliminated Saturday, leaving five countries and 20 players to compete for the trophy. Spain began the final round

tied for second behind Japan, but Ciganda immediately gave the Spaniards a boost by beating Na Yeon Choi of South Korea 8 and 6. Beatriz Recari followed with a 3-and-2 victory over Mikaela Parmlid of Sweden, and Mozo’s clinching victory set off an impromptu celebration on the 16th hole that began with a jubilant Recari jumping into Mozo’s arms. Azahara Munoz completed the sweep by beating Ai Miyazato of Japan 2 and 1. Munoz and Ciganda played at this same Caves Valley course in helping Arizona State win the 2009 NCAA women’s championship. Munoz, Ciganda and Recari participated on the last two Solheim Cup champions for Europe. “We’re so good as a team because we’re used to, since we were younger, playing together,” Munoz said. “I always played with Belen and Carlota. They were always my foursome partners. It just is so special to be on a team with them.” Points accumulated through Saturday were added to those amassed Sunday. Using the scoring system of two points for a win and one for a tie, the final order was: Spain (15 points), Sweden (11), South Korea (10), Japan (10), Thailand (9), United States (6), Taiwan (4) and Australia (3). “We are all superstars, we all did our roles and we are all No. 1,” Mozo declared. Japan entered the final round with a one-point lead but lost three of four match-
es, its lone win coming when Mika Miyazato beat Onnarin Sattayabanphot of Thailand 3 and 1. “We all like to play under pressure and we know we can do it. It just didn’t happen,” Ai Miyazato said. “It wasn’t our week, but it was an amazing experience.” Sweden’s Pernilla Lindberg topped Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand 6 and 5, taking the lead for good at No. 1 and winning at 10, 11 and 12 to pull away. But the Swedes’ bid to win the tournament fizzled when Caroline Hedwall lost to South Korea’s Inbee Park, 4 and 2. Although Sweden didn’t come home with the trophy, at least one team member left with a fond memory. “I’ve gotten to show myself on the biggest stage that I’ve been on so far and it feels like I’ve really take advantage of that,” said Lindberg, 28, who was playing in her first matchplay event. “It’s been so much fun, just over expectations for everyone.” Park, meanwhile, rode the momentum generated by Saturday’s wild-card playoff win over the U.S. to breeze past Hedwall. That left South Korea with at least an outside shot of capturing the event. “It was important to win the first match. It kind of gives everyone hope and some energy to play well,” Park said. That’s how it worked for Spain. Alas, South Korea could not sustain the momentum.
Langer wins second Senior British Open in record fashion the fourth when his approach only reached the front edge and he putted up to three feet and missed. He left his eagle putt at the long sixth on the lip, then bagged his fourth birdie at the seventh. He moved 14 clear when Gibson had a bogey
at the 10th, but then Langer missed his par putt at 11, in what was only his fifth bogey of the week. Langer claimed his fifth birdie of the day at the short No. 12, then posted five straight pars before finding the final green in two and twoputting for a closing birdie, his 23rd of
the tournament. Montgomerie’s closing 69 saw him win what he called “the other competition.” He dropped two strokes early but then birdied the sixth and eighth to be level at the turn. He parred seven holes on the run before birdies at the last two to move clear of the rest of the chasers.

BRIDGEND — Bernhard Langer won his second Senior British Open championship on Sunday, finishing a record 13 strokes clear of Colin Montgomerie of Scotland for his third senior major title. The German added a closing 4-under 67 Sunday at sunny Royal Porthcawl to his earlier rounds of 6566-68 for an 18-under 266. Langer’s 13-stroke win is the largest margin of victory in a senior major, beating Hale Irwin’s 12-stroke win in the Senior PGA Championship in 1997, while he almost doubled Bob Charles’ record of seven strokes in the British event, set at Turnberry back in 1989. Langer won the 2010 Senior British Open at Carnoustie and lost in a playoff last year at Royal Birkdale. He also won the Senior Players Championship last month. Montgomerie shot 2-under 69 to finish at 5-under 279 after starting with a share of seventh place. Tom Pernice Jr. of the United States, Barry Lane of England and Rick Gibson of Canada were three further shots back, tied for third on 2-under 282. “The golf course is unbelievably tough,” Langer said. “To have this weather for four days is unreal, it’s like playing in Florida with a bit of wind. “The secret was I didn’t make too many mistakes and my driver was very good and my long putting was excellent, although not quite today as I was lacking a little. Perhaps my lead was too big.” While the stiff breeze sent many scores soaring, Langer displayed the same immaculate control that saw him lead throughout, going into the final
day eight strokes ahead of Gibson. At the turn Langer had stretched his lead to 13, going out in 3-under 32 to Gibson’s 2-over 37. Langer birdied both the second, when he holed from eight feet, and the third from five feet. He dropped a shot at

Gaza war rages on despite truce talks BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GAZA, Gaza Strip — Israel and Hamas launched new attacks Sunday in the raging Gaza war, despite going back and forth over proposals for a temporary halt to nearly three weeks of fighting ahead of a major Muslim holiday. The failure to reach even a brief humanitarian lull in the fighting illustrated the difficulties in securing a more permanent truce as the sides remain far apart on their terms. After initially rejecting an Israeli offer Saturday for a 24-hour truce, Hamas said Sunday that it had agreed to hold fire ahead of the Eid alFitr holiday marking the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. But as Israel’s Cabinet met to discuss the offer and the ongoing war, rockets rained down on southern Israel and Israeli strikes could be heard in Gaza. Each side blamed the other for scuttling the efforts. Hamas said that “due to the lack of commitment” by Israel, it resumed its fire. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hamas showed it could not be trusted after it violated other ceasefire efforts. “Israel is not obliged and is not going to let a terrorist organization decide when it’s convenient to fire at our cities, at our people, and when it’s not,” Netanyahu said in satellite interviews from Israel carried on U.S. network Sunday news programs. In a phone call later Sunday, President Barack Obama told Netanyahu the United States is growing more concerned about the rising Palestinian death toll and the worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza. The White House said Obama reiterated that Israel has a right to defend itself and condemned Hamas rocket attacks that have killed Israelis, but pushed for an immediate cease-fire. International diplomats had hoped a temporary lull

Smoke from Israeli strikes rises over Gaza City, in the northern Gaza Strip, Sunday. Israel resumed its Gaza offensive on Sunday, calling off a unilateral extension of a humanitarian cease-fire after Palestinian militants fired several rockets at southern Israel. The rocket fire began late Saturday after Gaza’s Hamas rulers, who have demanded the lifting of an Israeli and Egyptian blockade on the territory and the release of prisoners, refused to extend the truce. could be expanded into a more sustainable truce to end the bloodshed and U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon urged the sides on Sunday to accept a 24-hour break in fighting. However, both sides were holding out for bigger gains in the Gaza war. Hamas wants to break the seven-year blockade of Gaza and believes the only way to force serious negotiations on ending the closure is to keep fighting. Israel, which launched the war on July 8 to halt relentless Hamas rocket fire on its cities, wants more time to destroy Hamas’ rocket arsenal and the military tunnels the Islamic militants use
to infiltrate into Israel and smuggle weapons. The 20-day war has killed more than 1,030 Palestinians, mainly civilians, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Israel has lost 43 soldiers, as well as two Israeli civilians and a Thai worker killed by rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza, the Israeli military said. Following Hamas’ call for a break in fighting, an Israeli airstrike killed one person in Gaza when it hit a vehicle carrying municipal workers on their way to fix water pipes, the Palestinian Red Crescent said. Police said Israeli tanks
fired shells on densely populated areas south of Gaza City. One shell hit an apartment building and several shells struck a building. Navy boats also resumed firing on Gaza’s coast, police said. The Israeli military said it hit some 40 sites throughout Sunday. In southern Israel, one person was injured and a house was damaged by a rocket launched from Gaza, Israeli police said. The Israeli military said more than 50 rockets were fired Sunday. Ahead of the three-day Eid al-Fitr holiday, which begins Monday, families in Gaza ordinarily would be busy with
preparations, with children getting new clothes, shoes and haircuts, and families visiting each other. But business was slow in the outdoor market of the Jebaliya refugee camp, where vendors set up stands with clothes and shoes. Hamed Abul Atta, 22, a shoe salesman, said he hadn’t made a single sale in the first three hours after opening. Abul Atta said he and his family were staying with relatives after fleeing the Shijaiyah district of Gaza City, which has seen heavy fighting. He said a cousin and three other relatives were among dozens of people killed there last week.
Ebola kills senior doctor at Liberia’s largest hospital BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONROVIA, Liberia — One of Liberia’s most high-profile doctors has died of Ebola, officials said Sunday, and an American physician was being treated for the deadly virus, highlighting the risks facing health workers trying to combat an outbreak that has killed more than 670 people in West Africa — the largest ever recorded. Dr. Samuel Brisbane was treating Ebola patients at the country’s largest hospital, the John F. Kennedy Memorial Medical Center in Monrovia, when he fell ill. He died Saturday, said Tolbert Nyenswah, an assistant health minister. A Ugandan doctor died earlier this month. The American, 33-year-old Dr. Kent Brantly, was in Liberia helping to re-
spond to the outbreak that has killed 129 people nationwide when he fell ill, according to the North Carolina-based medical charity, Samantha’s Purse. He was receiving intensive medical care in a Monrovia hospital and was in stable condition, according to a spokeswoman for the aid group, Melissa Strickland. “We are hopeful, but he is certainly not out of the woods yet,” she said. Early treatment improves a patient’s chances of survival, and Strickland said Brantly recognized his own symptoms and began receiving care immediately. There is no known cure for the highly contagious virus, which is one of the world’s deadliest. At least 1,201 people have been infected in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, according to the World Health Organization, and 672 have died.
