Son, friend arrested in murder of family
VIKING DAYS
TIPS FROM PUBLIC HELPED FUEL INVESTIGATION STACEY LAVALLIE STETTLER INDEPENDENT
CASTOR
Relatives and friends of a family murdered in a Castorarea farm house in December 2013 have been left reeling after RCMP revealed that one of the two men charged in the deaths is the son of two of the victims and brother to the third. Jason Klaus, 38, was charged on Friday, Aug. 15, with three counts of first degree murder and one count of arson in the Dec. 8 deaths of his parents, Gordon, 61, Sandra, 62 and his sister Monica, 40. Also facing the same charges is Klaus’ “friend and associate,” Joshua Frank, 29. In addition to the four charges, Frank also faces a charge of injuring or endangering an animal for shooting and killing the family’s dog, Keela, which was found outside the burning building. RCMP Insp. Tony Hamori held a press conference in Calgary on Sat., Aug. 16 to announce the charges, and though he didn’t disclose much, the details he did reveal indicated the family was targeted by the two accused, and that the murders and fire were planned in advance. The nine-month investigation was kept going, in part, due to the plethora of tips that came in from the surrounding
community, Hamori indicated as he took a moment to thank the public for their support. Though the police have remained silent since a February appeal for people to come forward with information, Hamori revealed that the surviving member of the Klaus family and Frank both ended up on the investigators’ radar fairly early into the investigation. “The investigative process led us to them,” Hamori said. “Both of them surfaced quite early in the investigation. Jason Klaus was deemed to be a suspect quite early in the investigation. Joshua Frank became a suspect a little bit later on in the timeline.” Hamori said there was no reason for police to believe that organized crime was involved in the arson and murders, and noted that Frank had no past criminal record. He was unable to say if Klaus had a previous record as he did not have the information available. “We are confident we have the two people who are responsible for this crime, and we’re not looking for any other suspects,” Hamori said. As for Klaus and Frank, Hamori said that, “All I’m prepared to say at this time is that they’re friends and associates, and that they’ve known each other
for a while.” On July 26-27, a dive team from B.C. came in at the RCMP’s request and searched the Red Deer River near Big Knife Provincial Park in search of evidence. The dive team scanned the area for two days before successfully recovering a “key” piece of evidence, though Hamori could not reveal what police divers found on the river bottom. “I would say it’s very significant,” Hamori conceded. “It was a key piece of evidence in the crime.” The news has been especially difficult for the grandparents of Klaus, who lost their daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter in the fire, according to a friend close to the family. Lowell and Janette Berry, from Halkirk, declined to make a comment at this time, as did family of Joshua Frank. Klaus was arrested at the Stettler residence of his deceased sister, Monica, in the afternoon, police said. She lived in one of Stettler’s trailer parks. Frank was arrested at his brother’s Castor residence, Hamori said, later that day. Though police have previously stated it was believed Sandra’s body had been lost in the fire and that she was, too, a victim of homicide, Hamori’s words eliminated hope that she would be found alive.

‘A place where all persons are treated with dignity and respect’ CENTRAL ALBERTA PRIDE WEEKEND CELEBRATES INCLUSION BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Storm predictions cancelled Saturday’s family-friendly Fruit Float on the Red Deer River, but it couldn’t sink Red Deer’s enthusiasm for the 2014 Central Alberta Pride weekend. The celebration kicked off at City Hall Park on Friday where more than 60 people came out to hear Red Deer Deputy Mayor Dianne Wyntjes officially proclaim the city “a place where all persons are treated with dignity and respect.” She listed many steps taken in Canada towards the elimination of discrimination based on sexual orientation including amendments to the Criminal Code of Canada to decriminalizing homosexuality in 1969 and the right of same sex couples to marry in 2005. Wyntjes also recalled how a lab instructor at a private Christian college in Edmonton who lost his job because he was gay ultimately won his case in 1998 before the Su-

Additional $9M needed for northeast sewer project BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF City council will be asked to put nearly $9 million more into a water and sewer project to serve Red Deer’s northeast, boosting the project’s cost by almost 40 per cent. The new numbers appear in a report going to council for its mid-year budget review on Tuesday. Early estimates, compiled before detailed engineering work was completed, estimated the cost of a storm water trunk extension at $10.1 million. That bill rose to $16.6 million because a longer main was needed because of the change in a school site orientation, said Paul Goranson, the city’s director of development services. The pipe depth also had to be increased. Poor soil conditions, and the need to move up by a year additional trunk lines and a storm water pond all contributed to the cost increase. Similar challenges boosted the sewer line costs to $6.8 million from $4.4 million. The lines will run from the future Northlands Drive river crossing to the future high school site where 30th Avenue and
67th Street meet. Council will vote on a borrowing bylaw to cover the additional $9 million to up-front the servicing costs. Those costs will be later recovered through offsite levies charged to developers as neighbourhoods are built out, said Goranson. Grading of the Laebon Developments-owned land to the north is expected to start this fall with servicing planned for next year. Red Deer’s steady growth will also require some spending on the fire response front. Council will debate a request for $420,000 to undertake design work for the future relocation of two city fire halls. The moves are required to ensure adequate response times as the city grows. Trucks and ambulances based at Station 3 on 32nd Avenue would move near 22nd Street and 30th Avenue and Station 4 would move north from Deer Park to north of 67th Street to serve new development in the northeast. Station 3 would remain as an Emergency Services headquarters station with the dispatch centre and fire prevention officers based there.

Young dancers learn from pros RDC SUMMER DANCE INTENSIVE BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Young dancers enrolled in RDC’s Summer Dance Intensive program this week will be learning moves from dancers who have made it big in New York, including a Radio City Rockette who grew up in Lacombe. Dance instructor Lisa Jantzie, 29, will start her fifth season with Rockettes this winter. She dances in 17 shows per week with the highkicking cast of 80 dancers in Radio City’s Christmas Spectacular that runs in November and December before audiences of 6,000 people. Jantzie said for much of the audience, seeing the Rockettes is a holiday tradition. “It does help me keep my energy up to know they really, really appreciate what you’re doing. It’s something very special to them. The house is always very full,” said Jantzie who is a Rockette with her identical twin sister Kristin. Their younger sister Alison is
also a dancer. Lisa Jantize is an instructor with ID Inspire Dance that has teamed up with Red Deer College to run Summer Dance Intensive. When she is not on stage at Radio City Music Hall, the rush is on to change into eight different costumes, shoes, hair pieces and earrings. “We have as much choreography backstage as we do on stage with our costumes changes. We have about 25 wardrobe staff helping us back stage. It’s definitely a science how they get everything done and consistently.” Between seasons, Rockettes will do special performances. Jantzie was among the dancers who performed live for American’s Got Talent in July and last Thursday kicked off the upcoming season with a routine on 6th Avenue in front of Radio City Music Hall. Jantzie started dancing at about age five. “Growing up every year, we started trying more and more different kinds of dance and doing more hours.” When she graduated high school she got hired after her first ever audition, along with twin, to dance at Toyko Disney. After seven months she returned to
Alberta where she continued her ballet, performing with the Alberta Ballet and the Banff Centre’s Festival Dance Company. To mix things up, she danced for Royal Caribbean Cruises before she got the call from the Rockettes. When she’s not rehearsing or performing at Radio City Music Hall, Jantzie teaches Pilates and for the last four years has taught dance in Central Alberta for a few weeks each summer. It’s the first time Jantzie and ID Inspire Dance have partnered with RDC to teach students age 11 and up. Classes run until Friday when students will perform on the RDC Arts Centre Main Stage at 8 p.m. Admission to the performance is free and the public is welcome to attend. Jantzie is teaching along side ID Inspire Dance instructors Eric Coles whose career highlights include Broadway’s Rock of Ages, Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Man of La Mancha. He recently premiered in Radio City’s Heart and Lights. Instructor Lauren Gibbs debuted on Broadway in WICKED and has danced for recording artists including Beyonce, Jay-Z, Firehorse and Joss Stone.

MURDER: Remains never found “(Sandra’s) remains were never found,” Hamori confirmed. “It’s our belief that her remains were consumed in the fire. The fire was quite intense at the time it happened.” The farmhouse where the fire was set had a quantity of coal in the basement, as the home was heated by a coal furnace. The fire burned extremely hot, hot enough to cremate a body. It also made it difficult for fire crews and police to access the ruined building after the fire was extinguished, because it remained hot and unstable for several days. The water used to put out the fire later led to a thick layer of ice being present on much of the crime scene. Both Klaus and Frank are scheduled to appear in the provincial court in Red Deer on Monday, Aug. 18. “In that fire, three victims lost their lives,” Hamori said. “On behalf of the RCMP, myself and the investigative team, we express our condolences to the extended family and friends of the victims in this fire.”
PRIDE: Gave with one hand She said when the province reluctantly amended the Individual Rights Protection Act (now called Human Rights, Citizenship and Multiculturalism Act) to protect gays and lesbians in 2010, it also gave parents the right to complain if teachers talk about how human rights include sexual orientation. “A parent can now file a complaint against the teacher for having that conversation — that’s only in Alberta. Even though we added the specific protection in the (Human Rights, Citizenship and Multiculturalism Act), we did it at the same time that we provided that provision so it’s quite offensive,” said Notley who attended Red Deer’s proclamation. “We gave with one hand and we took away with the other in Alberta.” She said anyone running for premier needs to make a commitment to remove that provision upon becoming premier. “We need to do everything we can in Alberta to promote inclusion and to celebrate diversity as enthusiastically as we can,” said Notley, MLA for Edmonton-Strathcona. Last year, former mayor Morris Flewwelling proclaimed Pride weekend in Red Deer for the first time in the city’s history. “It was important for me to come out this afternoon to support what we started last year,” said Flewwelling who attended Friday’s proclamation ceremony. “I come less as former mayor Morris Flewwelling and more as Morris Flewwelling who believes that
SATURDAY 6\49: 9,18, 41, 42, 48, 49 B: 10
our community should be open and equal to everybody and welcoming to everybody.” He said diversity has enormously enriched the community. Tony Jeglum, co-chair of Central Alberta Pride Society, said he looks forward to the day when pride events are unnecessary because “gay people are treated as equally as left-handed people.” He said until that time, Central Alberta Pride Society will work to include events in more communities in the region. This year Sunday’s church service was held in Lacombe. “We are trying to be Central Alberta Pride, not just Red Deer Pride,” Jeglum said. And hosting family-friendly recognizes gays of all ages and gay families, he said. Organizing Central Alberta Pride 2015 will start at the annual general meeting at the Golden Circle, 4620 47th Ave., on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. Board elections will be held.

Liberals, NDP plot to storm Tories’ Fortress Alberta in next federal election

STORY FROM PAGE A2
OTTAWA — Invading hordes of Liberal and New Democrat MPs will be doing some reconnaissance in Alberta over the next few weeks as their parties prepare plans to storm the Conservative bastion in the next federal election. Justin Trudeau and his three dozen Liberal MPs will be first off the mark, gathering Monday for a three-day caucus retreat in Edmonton. They’ll be followed by NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and his 97 MPs, who are, coincidentally, holding their annual summer caucus retreat in the same city Sept. 9-11. It’s an unusual convergence of politicians from parties whose overtures have been steadfastly spurned by Albertans. And it’s a sign that the political tides in the stolidly Conservative province may finally be shifting, propelled by the creation of six new primarily urban ridings, redrawn boundaries for existing ridings and the retirement of a number of Tory incumbents. “People fundamentally misunderstand Alberta politics,” says Stephen Carter, who masterminded the winning come-from-behind campaigns of Calgary’s superstar mayor, Naheed Nenshi, and former Progressive Conservative premier Alison Redford by playing up their moderate, progressive credentials. “They assume that we are redneck, right-wing, crazy-assed voters ... The reality is that 60 per cent of Albertans feel they are on the progressive side, not the Conservative side.” Carter contends that Albertans wind up voting Conservative en masse not for ideological reasons but because the Liberal party invariably “throws us under the bus,” pandering to voters in central Canada, which accounts for 60 per cent of the seats in the House of Commons, at the expense of Alberta, which accounts for a measly 10 per cent. On that score, Trudeau’s father, Pierre, is often fingered as the worst offender, having turned the province into a wasteland for the Grits after introducing the reviled national energy program in 1980. In reality, the province has been pretty much a Liberal
desert almost from the moment it entered Confederation in 1905. Not since 1911 have Liberals managed to capture a majority of the province’s seats. Since then, the best they could muster was seven of 17 seats — and that was way back in 1940. In the past 60 years, they’ve won no more than four Alberta seats and frequently wound up with none, as they did in 2011. The NDP’s record is even more dismal. It has been entirely shut out in every election but three and has never won more than one seat in the province. But with 34 seats in play for the next election in 2015 and Stephen Harper’s Conservative government nearing the 10-year mark — typically the best-before date for governments in Canada — both opposition parties sense an opportunity to finally break the Tory stranglehold on Alberta. The Liberals believe they can win as many as six inner city ridings in Calgary and Edmonton, with an outside chance at snagging Fort McMurray, the oilsands heartland where the party came a strong second in a June 30 byelection, running under boundaries that will no longer exist in 2015. In an interview, Trudeau said it’s “really important” to him that the Liberals win “a large handful” of seats in Alberta. “Alberta’s important, the West is important in this country,” he told The Canadian Press. “If you want to be a credible government running this country, you have to be able to draw on great, strong, credible voices from every corner of the country and that’s exactly what we’re focused on.” An indication of the party’s improved fortunes can be gleaned from the high-profile candidates who have stepped forward to carry the federal Liberal banner in the province, such as popular former MLAs Kent Hehr and Darshan Kang in Calgary. Anne McLellan, a former Liberal cabinet minister who held down the riding of Edmonton Centre from 1993 to 2006, notes that her old riding now boasts more than 800 members, almost 500 of whom turned out recently for a hotly contested nomination, won by franco-Albertan entrepreneur Randy Boissonnault.

Classes for Red Deer College’s Summer Dance Intensive began on Sunday with professional dancer Lisa Jantzie. Instructors are teaching children and teens ballet, tap, jazz, and hip hop along with musical theatre and vocal lessons.
She has also appeared in commercials, music videos, short films and television shows. Jantzie said dancing was her love, but she didn’t know if it could be her career. “I think setting a goal and making some sort of plan for yourself, that’s the best way to go about pursuing your career. If you’re not very specific with
yourself about how you’re going to get there, it’s hard. You definitely have to be willing to take a lot of risks, that’s for sure,” Jantzie said. ID Inspire Dance is running a threeday Dance Intensive program for ages seven to 10 at Strive Dance Academy in Red Deer from Aug. 25 to 28.

Nanoparticle conundrum Nanoparticles can be used to deliver vaccines, treat tumours, clean up oil spills, preserve food, protect skin from sun and kill bacteria. They’re so useful for purifying, thickening, colouring and keeping food fresh that they’re added to more products every year, DAVID with the nanoSUZUKI foods market projected to reach US$20.4 billion by 2020. Nanoparticles are the new scientific miracle that will make our lives better! Some people say they’ll usher in the next industrial revolution. Hold on … haven’t we heard that refrain before? Nanotechnology commonly refers to materials, systems and processes that exist or operate at a scale of 100 nanometres or less, according to U.S.–based Friends of the Earth. A nanometer is a billionth of a metre — about 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. An FoE report finds use of unlabelled, unregulated nano-ingredients in food has grown substantially
SCIENCE
since 2008. Because labelling and disclosure are not required for food and beverage products containing them, it’s difficult to determine how widespread their use is. Nanoparticles are also used in everything from cutting boards to baby bottles and toys to toothpaste. “Major food companies have rapidly introduced nanomaterials into our food with no labels and scant evidence of their safety, within a regulatory vacuum,” says report author Ian Illuminato, FoE health and environment campaigner. “Unfortunately, despite a growing body of science calling their safety into question, our government has made little progress in protecting the public, workers and the environment from the big risks posed by these tiny ingredients.” Studies show nanoparticles can harm human health and the environment. They can damage lungs and cause symptoms such as rashes and nasal congestion, and we don’t yet know about long-term effects. Their minute size means they’re “more likely than larger particles to enter cells, tissues and organs” and “can be more chemically reactive and more bioactive than larger particles of the same chemicals,” FoE says. A Cornell University study found nanoparticle exposure changed the structure of intestinalwall lining in chickens. Like pesticides, they also bioaccumulate. Those that end up in water
— from cosmetics, toothpaste, clothing and more — concentrate and become magnified as they move up the food chain. And in one experiment, silver nanoparticles in wastewater runoff killed a third of exposed plants and microbes, according to a CBC online article. Their use as antibacterial agents also raises concerns about bacterial resistance and the spread of superbugs, which already kill tens of thousands of people every year. The Wilson Center, an independent research institution in Washington, D.C., recently created a database of “manufacturer-identified” nanoparticle-containing consumer products. It lists 1,628, of which 383 use silver particles. The second most common is titanium, found in 179 products. While acknowledging that “nanotechnologies offer tremendous potential benefits” the Center set up its Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies to “ensure that as these technologies are developed, potential human health and environmental risks are anticipated, properly understood, and effectively managed.” As is often the case with such discoveries, widespread application could lead to unintended consequences. Scientists argue we should follow the precautionary principle, which states proponents must prove products or materials are safe before they’re put
into common use. Before letting loose such technology, we should also ask who benefits, whether it’s necessary and what environmental consequences are possible. Friends of the Earth has called on the U.S. government to impose a moratorium on “further commercial release of food products, food packaging, food contact materials and agrochemicals that contain manufactured nanomaterials until nanotechnology-specific safety laws are established and the public is involved in decision-making.” The group says we can protect ourselves by choosing fresh, organic and local foods instead of processed and packaged foods and by holding governments accountable for regulating and labelling products with nanoparticles. Nanomaterials may well turn out to be a boon to humans, but we don’t know enough about their long-term effects to be adding them so indiscriminately to our food systems and other products. If we’ve learned anything from past experience, it’s that although we can speculate about the benefits of new technologies, reality doesn’t always match speculation, and a lack of knowledge can lead to nasty surprises down the road.

Anti-government violence on rise in China It’s not really “China’s Chechnya” yet, but the insurgency in Xinjiang is growing fast. Incidents of anti-Chinese violence are getting bigger and much more frequent. Since March, 176 people have been killed in six separate attacks on Chinese police and government officials, local collaborators and ordinary Chinese residents of Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region in northwestern China, and the authorities don’t seem to have a clue what to do about it. The Uighur attackers have mostly used knives or explosives in their attacks (guns are hard to get in China), but noGWYNNE body has suggested that they are so technologically backDYER ward that their bombs come with long, trailing fuses that have to be lit by hand. Yet Chinese police in Xinjiang last month seized tens of thousands of boxes of matches. The rebels, on the other hand, are very serious people. Like most independence movements of the colonial era, they believe that you have to take the war to the homeland of the “oppressor” if you can. One of those recent attacks was not in Xinkiang but in Kunming in southwestern China, where a band of eight knife-wielding Uighurs killed 29 ordinary Chinese citizens and wounded 143 in the main railway station. Another standard tactic in this sort of war is the use of violence to deter one’s own people from collaborating with the colonial power. On July 30, Jume Tahir, the imam of China’s largest mosque, in the

city of Kashgar in Xinjiang, was stabbed to death just after leading early morning prayers. His crime? Praising Communist Party policies and blaming the rising tide of violence on Uighur separatists and extremists. The Uighurs are overwhelmingly Sunni Muslims, and the official Chinese line blames the separatist violence on foreign Islamists who are stirring up the local people. The separatists themselves say that it is a legitimate response to Chinese oppression, and in particular to the Chinese government’s policy of flooding Xinjiang with Han Chinese immigrants in an attempt to change the territory’s demographic balance. The truth, as usual, is more complicated. Xinjiang (literally “New Territory) was conquered by Chinese troops in the 1750s, but the population mix did not change. In the early 19th century a census reported the population as 30 percent Han Chinese (almost all living north of the Tian Shan mountains) and 60 per cent Uighurs, Turkic-speaking Muslim farmers who accounted for almost the entire population south of the mountains. The rest were Kazakhs, Huis, Mongols and others. The Uighurs had grown to 75 per cent of the total population by the 1953 census, with many by then living north of the mountains. The Han Chinese had fallen to only six per cent. But now, thanks to largescale immigration, the Chinese are back up to fully 40 per cent of Xinkiang’s population, while the 10 million Uighurs are down to 45 per cent. In other words, the numbers will support almost any argument you want to make, if you choose your census dates carefully.

ing to develop the Xinjiang economy and raise local living standards, with the (unstated) goal of making people so prosperous and content that they will not even think of “betraying the motherland” by seeking independence. It’s just that a developed economy requires job skills that are not plentiful among the Uighurs, so large numbers of Han Chinese are drawn in to do those jobs. Beijing’s officials make the same argument about Tibet, and they are probably being sincere about their intentions there too. They just have a huge cultural blind spot that makes it almost impossible for them to imagine how all this feels to the average Uighur who sees more and more Chinese coming in and getting all the good jobs. Add in all the resentment about the brutal assaults on the Uighurs’ culture and religion that happened during the Cultural Revolution – and continue in a minor key even today, thanks mainly to ignorant government officials who have never before lived outside an exclusively Chinese cultural context. And now there is also a radical Islamist ideology available, for those who are thinking about rebellion. So now it’s getting really serious in Xinkiang: the last big incident, on July 28, saw hundreds of Uighurs storm a police station and government offices armed with knives and axes. 59 of the attackers were killed and 215 arrested, while 37 (presumably Chinese) civilians were murdered. When you have organized groups doing violence on this scale, you are already in a low-level war. It will probably never be as bad as Chechnya, and it is very unlikely that Xinkiang will ever be independent, but it may be a long and ugly counter-insurgency war, with many deaths.

Questions remain about polygamy law CHARGES LAID AGAINST MEN FROM B.C. SECT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS
Marijuana Activist Marc Emery greets the crowd during his ‘welcome home party’ in downtown Vancouver, B.C., on Sunday.
‘Prince of Pot’ returns HUNDREDS GATHERED IN VANCOUVER TO WELCOME MARC EMERY VANCOUVER — Hundreds gathered in Vancouver to welcome the return of Marc Emery, Canada’s selfstyled “Prince of Pot,� after he spent more than four years serving a prison sentence in the U.S. The welcoming ceremony took place Sunday at Victory Square, not far from the Cannabis Culture store in the Downtown Eastside that bears his name. Raucous cheers and clouds of pot smoke greeted Emery as he arrived at the park. Emery did not waste any time getting into campaign mode. The 56-year-old immediately started talking about the upcoming 2015 election, and threw his support behind Justin Trudeau’s federal Liberals. “Oct. 19 is legalization day,� said Emery. “We just all have to show up.� “This is the most historic election for our culture because never before has legalization been on the ballot,� he said. “We’ve got 14 months to turn this country into a non-stop discussion about why we ought to legalize marijuana.� Emery has been a supporter of the Liberals since Trudeau voiced his sup-
port for the legalization of marijuana, and Emery’s wife, Jodie Emery, has said she wants to run for the party in the election expected next year. Emery’s support for the Liberals has prompted an aggressive response from the Conservative government. Steven Blaney, federal Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, has been critical of the promarijuana movement. “While the Liberals would try to make it easier for our children to access marijuana, Canadians can count on our government to put forward policies that keep drugs off our streets and keep our families safe,� he said in a statement. Trudeau has said he is not advocating making pot available for young people but rather opening up discussion on how to make the current laws more effective, arguing they are not protecting teens from the dangers of the drug. For many gathered for Emery’s return, it was a landmark event. Brandon McCreath, 32, said it would add much-needed momentum to the pro-legalization movement. “I think it’s great, I think it’s galvanizing the community,� he said. “I think having Marc back, it’s kind of bringing people back out of the woodwork.�

VANCOUVER _ The criminal case against two men from a polygamous sect in British Columbia is likely to re-examine whether the ban on multiple marriages violates the right to religious freedom, experts say, despite a court decision three years ago that declared the law constitutional. Winston Blackmore and James Oler were each charged last week with practising polygamy in a religious commune in southeastern B.C. Bnown as Bountiful. Blackmore is accused of 24 marriages, while Oler is accused of four. Bountiful, whose residents follow a fundamentalist form of Mormonism that still permits polygamy, has been investigated numerous times since the early 1990s. But concerns about whether the polygamy law would withstand a constitutional challenge repeatedly scared off prosecutors. Many of those questions appeared to be answered in 2011, when a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled the law did not violate the charter after hearing a constitutional reference case. But the 2011 decision won’t prevent Blackmore and Oler from raising charter issues at trial, says Nicholas Bala, a law professor at Queen’s University. “That was a reference case, which means it was an advisory opinion and not necessarily binding on a trial court,’’ said Bala. “And it certainly wouldn’t be binding on the (B.C.) Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada. ... It is likely that the issue of the constitutionality will be litigated again.’’ Blackmore and Oler were charged for the first time in 2009, but the case was thrown out over the government’s
use of a special prosecutor. The collapse of the case was unrelated to questions about the constitutionality of the polygamy law but the B.C. government nevertheless took the opportunity to launch the reference case. The result was an exhaustive trial that heard from academics, former polygamous wives, and several women from Bountiful, who testified anonymously. The judge hearing the case concluded the harms that polygamy poses to society outweighed claims to religious freedom. Bala, who agrees with the 2011 decision and believes the law is constitutional, said he expects the criminal case to be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, whatever the outcome. While the reference case featured a broad examination of polygamy across North America and around the world, Vancouver-based constitutional lawyer Craig Ferris said Blackmore and Oler’s prosecution would be restricted to what they are alleged to have done. For example, the judge who heard the reference case concluded the law would be unconstitutional if it were used to prosecute a child bride, but that wouldn’t apply to Blackmore and Oler. “There are a number of issues that were raised in the reference case that are unlikely to be raised in this case,’’ said Ferris. “You’ll get a more specific constitutional argument, which again may not answer the question on this law forever, because you will be focusing on the charges that were laid.’’ Beverley Baines, another Queen’s University law professor, said a legal challenge could succeed without arguing about religious freedom.

Break-in gives Trudeau pause BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau is re-evaluating the amount of time he spends on the road after his Ottawa home was burglarized while his wife and three young children were sleeping. The Liberal leader was in Winnipeg at the time of the break-in early Saturday. Trudeau says he and his wife, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, have had some “very serious discussions� over the past 24 hours about the extensive travel his role as leader of the third party demands and the exposure it places on his young family. Travelling the country is an integral part of the job of rebuilding the once-mighty party and he says he can only do that if he feels confident that Sophie, Xavier, Ella-Grace and infant Hadrien are safe. Trudeau says the break-in gives him pause about his ability to be away from his family so much of the time. Of all the sacrifices political families must make, he says security shouldn’t be one of them. “Honestly, we’re a little bit shaken,�
Trudeau said in an interview Sunday. “There’s no question that Sophie and I have had some very serious conversations over the past 24 hours ... about this path we’re undertaking together and the amount of, I don’t know, I guess exposure that comes with it. “We’re in a good head space but it certainly is serving as a bit of a wakeup call for us or at least a highlighting of some of the real challenges that we face.� In order to maximize the amount of time he can spend at home, Trudeau moved his family to a house in Ottawa’s tony Rockcliffe neighbourhood from Montreal shortly after taking the helm of the Liberal party 16 months ago. Still, he is out of nation’s capital much of the time. “It’s basically a tenet of me being able to do the job that I do that I think my family is safe and OK and it’s not a dangerous thing that I’m not there for them,� Trudeau said. “And when my wife and kids, with the nanny, are at home on their own and someone breaks in and engages in some fairly disturbing behaviour, I think it’s certainly something that gives me pause in my ability to do the travelling and the job that I’m doing
that takes me away from them so much. “For all the sacrifices that we put through in our line of work, the one thing that we don’t feel that we should have to sacrifice is personal security.� Trudeau would not go into details about the break-in or whether there was some political dimension to it, saying he doesn’t want to “short-circuit� the police investigation. CBC News reported Sunday that a menacing message was left outside Trudeau’s back door, set atop a pile of items taken from the house, including kitchen knives. According to a police source, CBC said the message stated that the items could have been stolen but weren’t, so the family should lock its doors in the future. Trudeau told The Canadian Press he’s been heartened by the supportive response of other politicians, from all parties. “Every single elected official, all parties together, have been extraordinarily both supportive and touched by this — in the wrong way because you can see that there but for the grace of God go any one of us. “I really have to say this is one of those things that there is no partisanship on it.�
Asked if they’ve considered moving house again after the traumatizing break-in, Trudeau joked: “Hopefully, there’ll be a move next year into a more secure place� — referring to his hope of winning the 2015 election and moving into the prime minister’s official residence. However, 24 Sussex has proven it’s not immune to break-ins, despite the constant presence of security cameras and an RCMP security detail. In late 1995, a disturbed Andre Dallaire wandered the grounds and residence for almost an hour, on an ostensible mission to kill then-prime minister Jean Chretien to avenge the loss of sovereigntist forces in the recent referendum on Quebec independence. The diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic was discovered by Chretien’s wife, Aline, outside the couple’s bedroom, holding a knife. She slammed the door, alerted the RCMP and woke her husband, who armed himself with an Inuit carving with which to bash the intruder, which did not ultimately prove necessary. Chretien later revealed his wife was so traumatized by the incident that she refused to sleep at 24 Sussex for weeks afterward.
Feds stressed fatigue concerns just before disaster BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
LAC-MEGANTIC
OTTAWA _ A train operator’s level of fatigue, sleep patterns and ability to ``make effective, safe decisions’’ were among the risk factors singled out in Transport Canada guidelines for single-person train operations — advice that was finalized just months before the Lac-Megantic rail disaster. More than a dozen “`human factors’’ such as amount of sleep, health, age, lifestyle and workload demands —and the best way to deal with them — were flagged for departmental rail safety reviewers, records obtained under the Access to Information Act show. The Transport Canada guidelines, finalized May 13, 2013, were intended to help Transport Canada staff evaluate risk assessments filed by railways operating trains with just a single employee. On July 6 last year, a 72-car train parked for the night came loose and rolled into the town of Lac-Megantic, Que., creating a fireball that killed 47 people, destroyed buildings and contaminated waterways. The now-defunct Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway Ltd. and three employees of the company — including the train’s sole operator — face charges of criminal negligence causing death. The federal Transportation Safety Board is set to release its final report Tuesday on the devastating accident, including the railway’s use of a one-man crew on the route. A preface to a March 2013 draft of the guidelines says they were aimed at promoting “uniformity and industry best practices’’ with respect to the safe management of single-person train operations. “Ultimately it is the railway compa-
ny’s responsibility to ensure the safety of its operation,’’ the document says. With regard to human factors, the guidelines recommended a railway running a one-person operation review its existing ``fatigue management plan’’ to ensure it included advance notification of work schedules, the opportunity to nap as required and proper shift rotations, breaks and work/rest cycles. The guidelines also called for procedures to: — Deal with situations when an employee judges himself unfit for work if called unexpectedly — Ensure the train operator has taken health and fitness training and a recent medical exam — Provide such lone operators with “specific training’’ and furnish proof of successful completion to Transport Canada upon request The guidelines address several other areas such as speed restrictions, performing en-route inspections, communication protocols, accuracy of reports and handling emergencies. The guidelines flowed from a national rail safety working group that relied in part on a March 2012 study carried out for Transport by the National Research Council of Canada. The study looked at the single-person train operations of Montreal, Maine and Atlantic and the Quebec North Shore and Labrador railways, relevant safety board accident investigations, and similar one-person rail operations around the world. “It is recognized that reducing the train crew to one person without appropriate operational changes and technological intervention diminishes

tional programs and specially designed operational procedures — should be done in “a comprehensive and systemic manner,’’ the study adds.

He has helped put away armed robbers, kidnappers and rapists with the stroke of his pencil. Innisfail Const. Chris Lavery is one of four Alberta RCMP composite sketch artists who is called in to help when there are no suspects or no leads in an investigation. Often it is for the high-risk cases or serious person crimes such as sexual assault, homicide or abductions. “The idea behind the sketch is to generate suspects,” said Lavery, who has worked as a certified police sketch artist for five years alongside his general constable duties. “It’s not to prove who did it because you can’t prove who did it based on a sketch.” A sketch artist can be called right away and sometimes by the time he is finished with a sketch, the person has been located. Lavery, 37, shares sketching duties in the southern half the province with a Cochranebased RCMP officer. But he has also been called to Fort McMurray and Yellowknife. There are only two full-time RCMP sketch artists in the country, in Lower Mainland British Columbia and in Nova Scotia. Just last week, Lavery was in Red Deer to help with an attempted robbery and assault investigation in Deer Park. “We don’t get 90 to 95 per cent hits on these things,” said Lavery. “It happens and it can be very helpful but if I am called in, that means we do not have anything at all. We don’t have a lead to go on at that point.” But Lavery was quick to point out the sketch is just one of many investigative tools that police officers use in their investigations. RCMP Cpl. Leanne Molzahn said they do not call sketch artists in on every police file, but definitely for serious person crimes where there is potentially a witness or a victim who may be able to provide an accurate description of the suspect. “It is certainly benefit to any investigation where we can put a face out there,” she said. “There is generally somebody who is able to identify someone from the sketch or video surveillance footage.” A sketch can also help eliminate suspects and let the public know that police are working on the case. Since he started penning sketches in 2009, Lavery has drawn sketches that have identified suspects in a variety of crimes and eventually led to charges. He has probably sketched between 60 and 70 suspects over the years. “It’s an investigative tool and if it is not
used for serious matters, then we are not doing everything we can,” said Lavery. “That’s why it’s one of those things that we use a lot. Red Deer RCMP call me quite a bit.” Like the other RCMP sketch artists in Alberta, Lavery is trained through the Stuart Parks Forensic Associate organization. It is owned and operated by the Montana-based husband and wife team of Rick Parks and Carrie Stuart Parks. Both have worked in crime labs and with the FBI. Lavery has also taken two-week courses on forensic facial imaging with the Canadian Police College in Ottawa. A sketch artist will work with a victim or witness after the investigating officer is finished with the initial questioning. The artist will conduct a different type of interview to get the victim or witness’s memory going. Once the artist has descriptors to work with, he will have the person flip through a facial feature photo book before he begins drawing. “It’s their sketch,” said Lavery. “I am done drawing when they tell me I am done drawing. If they are happy with it, it means something about that is right. I could look at it after and say I hate that drawing. But as I tell them, it is not a piece of art. I am not putting it on my wall at home. This is to identify the suspect.” The process takes about three hours. The goal is not to draw a perfect portrait of the suspect but to draw the facial features well enough so someone will recognize the criminal, says Lavery. “Sometimes witnesses will tell you to do things that probably isn’t correct when it comes to facial features,” he said. “But when something about it is maybe exaggerated, something about that reminds them about the person.” Every forensic artist has a different system to ensure the anatomy and facial structure is right. “Because what we are doing is combining different facial features from different places,” said Lavery. “And if we put them together and they don’t fit together properly, then people won’t recognize the person. They will think there is something weird about that. That’s all they will remember: the weirdness. They won’t remember what we are trying to do.” The eight-year police veteran lives in Red Deer and has worked in Innisfail for two years. Lavery answered about five years ago when a division-wide call went out for officers with some artistic skills. In the United States, many law enforcement agencies are using computer-based systems. Lavery said there are some good systems

If you don’t have the training or the artistic ability to make things look human, you aren’t going to have as good a result with generated suspects.” Lavery was the kid in class who could draw but he had no formal training until he became a sketch artist. He remembers his first time in a bank robbery investigation in High River. He wasn’t happy with the drawing but he says it was a good example of “the witness is always right.” “I wanted to add more detail but the witness was like, no that’s perfect, stop,” said Lavery. “So I stopped.” Lavery says he is not sure the suspect was nabbed. “Not that I know,” he laughed. “That would have been too good of a story.” crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com
Pushing the limits of ceramics MAG’S ONCE + FUTURE EXHIBIT SHOWCASES FIVE POST-EMERGING ARTISTS BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Artists featured in the MAG’s Once + Future exhibit skillfully succeeds in bursting any preconceived notions about ceramics.

Buzz or a bubble? VANCOUVER TECH VETERANS ENCOURAGE VISION AMONG STARTUPS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER _ The Canadian founders of mobile gaming company A Thinking Ape embarked on a makeit-or-break-it quest to source first-rate tech wizards when they left Silicon Valley in 2010 to put down roots in Vancouver. The three-man startup was striving for billion-dollar valuation after a windfall of cash developing chart-topping apps, and a global scan signalled that heading north was the likeliest route. “As soon as we landed in Vancouver we started a recruiting pipeline,’’ said co-founder Kenshi Arasaki, explaining they’d identified the problem of finding the best and brightest as one of their biggest issues. “We spent a lot of time thinking about it.’’ That careful planning gained A Thinking Ape its foothold, and the attention of its peers, in a city where veterans caution that high-tech growth must be rigorously cultivated to ensure staying power. The rising costs of living in Vancouver, a fickle investor market, the ongoing global scarcity of talent and struggle for startups to match salaries offered by heavyweights are all threatened snags to success. As the arrival of tech giants like Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon generates buzz of a budding Silicon Val-
ley North, startup and mid-sized tech companies are balancing enthusiasm against the challenges. Some in the industry warn that if players fail to think strategically, confront obstacles or build a cohesive vision as the sector blooms, Vancouver could amount to a “tech bubble’’ burst. “I am afraid,’’ said Joseph Nakhla, CEO of bazinga!, a social networking company of 40 employees he founded in January 2012.”At the end of the day, Vancouver is an amazing place. We pray that we stay here for as long as we can. “But the problem we have is, if we don’t fix the funding problems, if there isn’t more capital available for these startups here — where they can actually not only attract but retain this talent — they will eventually go.’’ That’s why industry newcomers must think long-term and thriving ventures should endeavor to become anchors, said Nakhla, a 15-year veteran of the city’s tech scene. “A lot of little startups are popping up here. I’m wary of young entrepreneurs just completely being focused on the geographical presence.’’ Another concern is the admission that Facebook eventually plans to pack up its temporary Vancouver office of about 150 computer engineers, many who were blocked from getting U.S. green cards. Other companies, such as Social Chorus, have similarly sprouted offices as a consequence of the ham-

U.S. closes probe of 2010 refinery blast BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — The U.S. Justice Department said Friday it will file no criminal charges following a four-year investigation into the April 2010 explosion that killed seven workers at the Tesoro Corp. refinery in Anacortes. The decision was shared with victims’ relatives earlier in the day, said Jenny Durkan, the U.S. attorney in Seattle. Prosecutors examined whether criminal environmental and worker safety laws and regulations had been violated, but there was no evidence that reached the “exacting bar for criminal prosecution,” Durkan said in a news release. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board released its final report on the blast in May. It blamed the facility’s safety culture, industry standards, and state and federal oversight for the catastrophic rupture of a heat exchanger at the refinery. The board called for more conservative standards for the use of carbon steel and called on the state of Washington to adopt more rigorous safety management standards. “I believe this investigation, as well as those conducted by other agencies, have prompted changes in how the industry conducts itself,” Durkan said. The Justice Department investigation included interviewing current and former workers, reviewing thousands of documents, and consulting with industry experts, she said. Investigators and prosecutors also reviewed investigative reports prepared by other investigative authorities, including the Chemical Sfe-
ty Board. The April 2, 2010, blast about 70 miles north of Seattle was the deadliest refinery incident in the U.S. since a 2005 explosion killed 15 people and injured 180 at a BP PLC refinery in Texas City, Texas. A Tesoro spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment Friday afternoon. Tesoro and the refinery’s previous owner, Shell Oil Co., agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by the families of six victims for $39 million, and the families are also suing an outside firm that they say gave Tesoro bad advice on the mechanism that failed in the blast. Tesoro is appealing a $2.4 million fine from the state Department of Labor and Industries. David Beninger, a lawyer who represents the families, said his clients were OK with the decision not to file criminal charges. “They knew the feds all along were not looking at, or able to prosecute for, the homicide or deaths of their loved ones,” he said. “It was always about environmental issues and worker safety. The families used the civil system for what it’s intended to do: uncover the truth and deter wrongdoing.” Beninger also credited Tesoro for trying to find and rectify the problems that led to the explosion. But Hershel Janz, the father of 41-year-old victim Lew Janz, said he would have liked to see a criminal prosecution. “This doesn’t surprise me. Nobody’s taken responsibility for the deaths of seven people, including my boy, and I don’t expect anybody to,” he said. “They die at these refineries, and they’ll continue to die.”
port says. “Willingness, at least in part, can be attributed to what is sometimes referred to as the HGTV effect. With HGTV Canada launching in late 1997 and starting the home improvement television programming craze, many homeowners did not know how badly they really wanted new designer kitchens and bathrooms then. The increasing willingness/desire was reinforced by improved ability/affordability to undertake renovations.” Low interest and mortgage rates have made borrowing for home renovations and lot easier and more affordable. Lower mortgage rates at renewal time have improved the discretionary income for many homeowners, and some of that income is being put toward renovations. Rising home values across the country is another factor. As prices rise so does equity and many home owners are tapping this equity for lower cost borrowing by refinancing their mortgages or through home equity lines of credit. “Essentially, home owners pulled money out of their homes only to put it right back in,” the report states. “Secured lines of credit – primarily home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) – and mortgage refinancing are the most common methods used to finance reno-
vations.” Rising home prices are likely to continue across the country. The Toronto Dominion Bank recently upgraded its expectation for home sales and prices due to continued low interest rates and increased demand for housing. The bank says it now expects home prices to rise an average of five to six per cent for the remainder of 2014. And new housing starts in April also were on the increase in many parts of the country including Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The prospect for housing prices, equity, continuing low interest rates, renovation spending and the sector as a whole remain positive. “There’s no correction yet – growth of about three per cent in real terms is expected for 2014 and 2015,” the Altus report concludes. “The good news for firms in the renovation sector is that we don’t foresee an end to the expansion trend in the near term.” 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.

Kentucky bourbon makers riding good times, but high production comes with risks LOUISVILLE, Ky. _ Kentucky bourbon companies are making more booze than they have since the 1970s, but the high production also holds an inherent risk. To put it in bartenders’ lingo: Distillers are putting up the tab for millions of rounds of bourbon years before it’s even ordered. Hitting the right moment —a big supply meshing with big demand —could mean a serious payday for one of Kentucky’s landmark traditions. Missing the target would leave bourbon makers awash with supply and leave future production in question, particularly for the craft distilleries that have seen a recent boom in popularity.

Biogen receives approval of treatment for multiple sclerosis patients CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Biogen Idec says that federal regulators have approved the specialty drugmaker’s new treatment for people with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. The company said Friday that the Food and Drug Administration cleared the injectable drug, dubbed Plegridy, after reviewing results from a study that involved more than 1,500 people with the disease. Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the immune system in which the body attacks the brain and spinal cord. Its symptoms can come and go, often reappearing months later. The European Commission recently approved Plegridy. Biogen also markets the multiple sclerosis drugs Avonex and Tysabri. Shares of Biogen Idec Inc. ended regular trading up $5.46, or 1.6 per cent, to $342.47 on Friday. The stock is up 22 per cent this year.

Charlyne Fothergill, program director with startup accelerator GrowLab, said that in the ``war for talent worldwide,’’ the sentiment isn’t about ``hoarding talent or companies up here,’’ but about promoting expansion. “Business has to grow. Whether you grow that business from Vancouver and then grow that into the States, you’re still in Vancouver setting up roots,’’ she said. “What we’re likely to see is absolutely companies expand across Canada and across North America.’’ Departures shouldn’t be interpreted as a brain drain, said a professor at the University of California Berkeley. “Trying to keep everyone in your borders is nice, but that doesn’t actually reflect how business is being done — especially not in the high-tech sector,’’ said Canadian Studies chair Irene Bloemraad, originally from Saskatoon. She said Canada benefits even if the tech wizards only reside in Vancouver for a spell. “(They) build relationships in Canada they might never have had if they moved directly to the United States.’’
The government doesn’t “underestimate the power of attraction of Silicon Valley,’’ said Immigration Minister Chris Alexander while promoting a visa stream in Vancouver last month targeting young entrepreneurs. “That’s why we need to be nimble and agile.

Delays for South Carolina nuclear plant further pressure industry THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA - Expensive delays are piling up for the companies building new nuclear power plants, raising fresh questions about whether they can control the construction costs that crippled the industry years ago. The latest announcement came this week from executives at SCANA Corp., which has been warned by its builders the startup of the first of two new reactors in South Carolina could be delayed two years or more. SCANA Corp. and plant co-owner Santee Cooper have not accepted that timeline from the companies designing and building the reactors, nor have they accepted responsibility for additional costs. That announcement may well foreshadow more delays for a sister project in eastern Georgia, and they have caught the attention of regulators and Wall Street. “Delays generally cause cost increases, and the question becomes who’s going to bear the costs?’’ said C. Dukes Scott, executive director of the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff, a watchdog agency that monitors SCANA Corp.’s spending. None of this is helpful for the nuclear power industry, which had hoped its newest generation of plants in Georgia and South Carolina would prove it could build without the delays and cost overruns so endemic years ago. When construction slows down, it costs more money to employ the thousands of workers needed to build a nuclear plant. Meanwhile, interest charges add up on the money borrowed to finance construction. A single day of delay in Georgia could cost $2 million, according to an analysis by utility regulators. Utility consumers often end up paying for these extra charges in the form of pricier electricity bills, unless the government intervenes and forces shareholders to absorb all or some of the losses. Despite previous delays and problems, regulators in both states have previously said finishing the nuclear plants is cheaper than stopping and building gas-fired power plants. “People take it seriously because really the operative word is uncertainty,’’ said Paul Patterson, an analyst for Glenrock Associates. “This is a large
and complicated project and any significant delay has the potential to raise expenses.’’ Originally, the first of SCANA Corp.’s two new reactors was supposed to start commercial operation in April 2016. The company later moved that target startup date to early 2017. SCANA Corp. senior vice-president Stephen Byrne said contractors now say that date could stretch to late 2018, if steps are taken to speed up construction. Without speeding up work, the first plant would be finished during the first half of 2019. The second of its new reactors would come online one year later. So far, the consortium building and designing the plant _ Westinghouse Electric Co. and Chicago Bridge & Iron _ have not told SCANA Corp. how much the schedule change might cost. ``My general experience with contractors though is the first number they hit you with has a lot of shock value in it, and you end up negotiating something more reasonable from there,’’ Byrne said. Meanwhile, Southern Co. subsidiary Georgia Power and its co-owners are building two of the same reactors at Plant Vogtle. Historically, construction schedules in Georgia and South Carolina move roughly in tandem because they are building the same reactors, rely on the same contractors and get their parts from the same suppliers. Georgia Power has not been notified of any additional delays, company spokesman Brian Green said. Its first new reactor was supposed to start operating in April 2016, with the second starting a year later. Delays have already pushed those dates to late 2017 and late 2018. Additional delays could prove unwelcome news for two pro-nuclear Republicans seeking re-election in November to Georgia’s Public Service Commission, H. Doug Everett and Lauren “Bubba’’ McDonald. Georgia Power is scheduled to update regulators on its progress later this month. The company was still waiting for an updated construction schedule from its contractors since the current version has little detail about important activities past December 2015.

Anything Goes COUNTRY PARTY BOYS FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE PREPARE TO RELEASE SECOND ALBUM BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE — Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of country dude duo Florida Georgia Line know all eyes on Music Row are on them as they prepare to release their second album, Anything Goes, on Oct. 14. Everybody wants to see if country’s favourite party boys can keep the festivities rolling, and Kelley and Hubbard don’t really mind. “A little bit of that pressure creates some pretty good creativity,” Kelley said. “We just pushed really hard — little melody changes, adding little things here, an 808 drop there, a breakdown here, a different guitar lick there, whatever it may be, we really spent a lot of time on the little details. “Better is better, and that’s our motto.” For the most part, the 12 tracks on the Joey Moi-produced album mine the same high-spirited territory as debut Here’s to the Good Times — upbeat rockers meant to evoke midnight bonfire parties at the lake. Lead single Dirt is another No. 1 hit on the country charts, and has already peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100. The group’s music is part of a trend that some within the community say has pushed country’s sound too far toward the pop music middle.

and continued to push the boundaries of the genre. They completely ditch the metaphor and sing openly about smoking marijuana on Sun Daze, perhaps setting up a difficult choice for radio program directors. And then there are the 808 bass drops on a handful of songs that will no doubt drive country purists crazy, but add an interesting counterpoint to the sunshine bright rock guitar tones on the album. “We took all that good energy and the success that (the fans) have given us and put it into making this next record, and I think it shows,” Kelley said. “There’s a couple sad songs, there’s a couple that make you think, but at the same time it’s a party album. It’s a feelgood album. Right when you get to the last song you’re going to want to start it
all over again. It’s right exactly 100 per cent where we are in our lives.” And that’s a pretty good place with the line between work and play completely blurred. When they’re not on the road partying with fans, their crossover success has allowed them to up the fun while home. Hubbard built an air-lover’s dirt bike track in his backyard. And Kelley’s about to reveal his awesome new treehouse Friday night on the Animal Planet reality show Treehouse Masters. He calls it breathtaking. “The treehouse is two stories of adult childlike fun, man,” Kelley said. “It’s hard to put in words what this treehouse is. It’s a studio, it’s a living space, it’s a creative space. It’s spiritual. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Puppies imported into U.S. to be at least 6 months old LOS ANGELES — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved a regulation that will require all imported puppies to be at least 6 months old, healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. The department said Friday that Census Bureau data show about 8,400 puppies a year were imported without regulation between 2009 and 2013. The Humane Society of the United States believes the numbers are actually higher, like tens of thousands a year. Deborah Press of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says most of the puppies are flown in from puppy mills in China and Eastern Europe. Both agencies get calls every year from people who buy the puppies only to have them die of illness. Under the new regulation, violators can be fined $10,000.

Los Angeles considers cold hard cash to reverse tepid turnout in local elections LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles is considering turning voting ballots into lottery tickets. With fewer than a fourth of voters showing up for recent local elections, the city’s Ethics Commission voted to recommend that the City Council consider a cashprize drawing as an incentive to vote. Commission President Nathan Hochman said a pilot program should be used first to find out the number and size of prizes that would bump up turnout. “Maybe it’s $25,000 maybe it’s $50,000,” Hochman said, according to the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/1uV1Ekw ). “That’s where the pilot program comes in.” The Thursday vote was unanimous.

This was money we could ill-afford. We recently found another house and used a local mortgage lender. Everything went smoothly, and we’ll be moving soon. Here’s the problem: Last month, Mary called to chew me out because we didn’t use her mortgage person. I told Mary that we lost a lot of money due to that person’s inability to help us, and we’ve moved on. Mary was mean and nasty and hung up on me. I haven’t heard from her since. Mary and I have known each other for 30 years, and we’ve been through a great many of life’s ups and downs. She’s like a sister to me, and our husbands get along well, too. I was astonished that she would be so obtuse about what we’d been through. Mary often reacts like this when she’s angry, but I wonder why it’s up to me to make the effort to fix things. Should I reach out to her? It saddens me that such a longtime friendship would end this way, but I’m ready to let it go. — Arizona Dear Arizona: Mary is what we call

Fraser brings Cup back to Sylvan Lake BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF
Photo by JOSH ALDRICH/Advocate staff
Former Red Deer Rebels forward Colin Fraser brought the Stanley Cup to Sylvan Lake on Sunday afternoon after winning his second Cup in three years with the L.A. Kings and his third overall.
Former Red Deer Rebels captain Colin Fraser battled through one of the more frustrating seasons of his career in 2013-14, but the silver lining was he was still able to lift Lord Stanley’s silver chalice at the end of it. He shared this glory with Sylvan Lake on Sunday while raising money for the city’s new multiplex. “It was pretty remarkable, it was one of those crazy storylines with how we won it,” said Fraser, 29. “To be there every step of the way, everyone has their role, and I had my role, I wish I could have played a bigger role, but I’ll take it anyway I can get it.” Fraser struggled to stay in the lineup with the Los Angeles Kings this season and was sent down to the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League in February. He was recalled during the team’s first round playoff series with the San Jose Sharks, but never did get into a game. Still as a member of the Kings, he got his name on the Stanley Cup for the third time, previously winning it in his first year with the Kings in 2012 and in 2010 with the Chicago Blackhawks. In both of those runs he played a bigger part of the championship. In 33 games with a loaded Kings’ team this season he had three assists and 30 penalty
minutes and was a minus-4. In 10 games in Manchester he had six points (three goals, three assists), four penalty minutes and was a plus-3. Now he is an unrestricted free agent after his two-year, $1.85 million deal expired at the end of the season. With NHL training camps starting up in a few weeks, the phone probably will not ring until then, once teams have a chance to really see what they have and what they need. If that opportunity does not come in North America, he will look overseas. In the meantime, he’s making sure he is ready when the call does come. “I’m working out and skating just how I would if I had a contract, nothing changes with that,” he said. “I’m staying motivated in hopes something falls in place. Something will, it’s just a matter of when and where.” His time in L.A. was eventful. It started with controversy, however, when the Edmonton Oilers dealt him along with a seventh round pick in exchange for Ryan Smyth in 2011. However, he was still recovering from an injury that ended up needing surgery. The extent of the injury was not discovered until after the deal was completed and Kings general manager Dean Lombardi filed a grievance against the Oilers.

England’s team celebrate from left wearing white, Rachael Burford, Rochelle Clark, Margaret Alphosi and Sarah Hunter after defeating Canada 21-9, during the final match of the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2014, at Jean Bouin stadium, in Paris, Sunday. BY THE CANADIAN PRESS PARIS _ You could almost hear the sigh of relief from her English teammates as Emily Scarratt broke through one tackle, evaded another and touched down in the corner of Canada’s end zone. After having to fight for every inch against a resilient Canadian team, England needed a stellar solo effort from its star centre to cement a 21-9 win over Canada in the women’s rugby World Cup final. Scarratt scored 16 points on Sunday, including 10 straight to close the gold-medal game, as England won its second World Cup and its first in 20 years. After England dominated in the first half, Canada closed to within two points on a Magali Harvey penalty halfway through the second. But Scarratt kicked a penalty of her own a minute later, then capped the scoring with a try six minutes from the end of regulation. “We had a couple of opportunities to score tries that

could have made a difference, but because we didn’t then they were full of confidence and more physical and fresher than us,” Canada coach Francois Ratier said. “When you have two opportunities and you don’t score, then it’s almost impossible. It’s not a question of passion or heart. It’s just a question of in the final of any sport, if you don’t score when you have the opportunities, then the other team will take them.” Scarratt received the ball from a lineout and ran past Mandy Marchak, fended off fullback Julianne Zussman and ran the ball in to give England some much needed breathing room. She kicked a conversion to cap a spectacular tournament for the England centre. “It’s just a missed tackle,” Ratier said. “We tried to tackle high but (Scarratt) has a really strong upper body. We should have gone lower but that’s the way it is.” Harvey had all of Canada’s points on three penalties and finished the tournament with 61 points, second only to Scar-

ratt’s 70. It was Canada’s first appearance in the World Cup final. Its previous best finish was fourth, which it did in three consecutive tournaments from 1998 to 2006. England, meanwhile, ended 16 years of heartache by finally winning it after finishing as runner-up to New Zealand in the last three tournaments. Harvey was named the IRB women’s player of the year after the game. Canadian captain Kelly Russell was also a finalist for the award. Harvey and Russell were two of the five Canadian players on the World Cup roster who were on the team that lost to New Zealand in the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens final. Canada fought to a 13-13 draw with England during the group stage, but it looked like a different English side in the first half on Sunday. They keyed in on Harvey and prevented her from making a game-breaking run as she did in Canada’s semifinal win over host France.

Arceneaux’s TD grab leads Lions to win BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Lions 33 Argonauts 17 TORONTO — Emmanuel Arceneaux had just one catch in the second half but made it count. Arceneaux’s 53-yard TD grab with just over seven minutes remaining earned the B.C. Lions a 33-17 milestone win over the Toronto Argonauts on Sunday night. Arceneaux broke two tackles en route to the end zone at 8:33 of the fourth quarter to anchor the Lions’ 500th all-time victory. B.C. (5-3) outscored Toronto (3-5) 20-7 in the final frame for its third straight victory. “Manny was behind the linebackers underneath the free safety and I put it in a spot where only he could get it,” said Lions quarterback Kevin Glenn. “(Argos linebacker Shane) Horton kind of stuck his hand out at the last minute and it was just over his hand, which was a perfect pass, I guess, and Manny actually caught it. “That’s the type of stuff we look for in his play. He’s a big receiver, a big target to go across the middle like that, catch balls, bounce off guys and still score. It was a very big play at that time, one of those momentum shifters.” Ronnie Yell’s 31-yard interception return TD with 1:56 remaining cemented B.C.’s 17th win in its last 19 meetings with Toronto, to the dismay of an announced season-high Rogers Cen-
tre gathering of 18,283. That boosted the Argos average attendance to 17,562 through four home dates. B.C. pulled into a third-place tie with Winnipeg (5-3) and Saskatchewan (5-2) in the West Division standings. Edmonton and Saskatchewan (both 6-1) are tied for first and with both the Eskimos and Riders having won earlier this weekend, the Lions had to beat Toronto to keep pace. “Shoot, we’ve got to keep winning,” Glenn said. “You want to stay in the race, you’ve got to keep winning. “This is a pretty good race in the West.” And it’s going to get even better Sunday when B.C. hosts Saskatchewan. Toronto played its second game in five nights after a 38-21 home win over Winnipeg on Tuesday night. B.C. did little offensively after going ahead 100 in the first and Ricky Ray’s 18-yard TD strike to Terrell Sinkfield just 16 seconds into the fourth put the Argos ahead 17-13. B.C. countered with Paul McCallum’s 32-yard field goal at 2:51 before going ahead 19-17 on his 27-yard boot at 5:30, set up by Tim Brown’s second 70-yard punt return. Arceneaux and Yell then clinched the win with their touchdowns. However, it was solid special-teams play by Brown (10 punt returns, 168 yards) and punter Ricky Schmitt (10 punts, 45.2-yard average) as well as stout defence — Toronto mustered just

245 net offensive yards — that gave Glenn and Co. the chance to come up big late in the game. “It was a team victory because those two aspects held us in the game, then we made some plays,” said Lions head coach Mike Benevides. A fact not lost upon Toronto head coach Scott Milanovich.
“I thought we got beat on special teams and on offence,” he said. “We made too many mistakes, a fumble early and then getting stopped three times on short drives, our defence just got worn down.” Toronto remains atop the East Division, four points ahead of Ottawa, Hamilton and Montreal (all 1-6 records).
Buccaneers bounced Mitchell throws, runs Stampeders past TiCats from AFL playoffs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Drillers 23, Buccaneers 8 The promise and youth that is the Central Alberta Buccaneers cost them in the end. The Bucs were eliminated in the Alberta Football League playoffs with a 23-8 loss to the Grande Prairie Drillers on Saturday in Grande Prairie. It was a game the Buccaneers dominated in most aspects except finishing drives, settling for field goals, in which they were only good on one of three attempts. The Bucs also had a safety and two singles off of their missed field goals. “We weren’t able to punch it in the end zone and that was basically the difference in the game,” said head coach Duane Brown. “Yardage wise and time of possession, we dominated the game and to do that and not win is very frustrating.” The coach’s disappointment was evident. This was not the way the season was supposed to go after finishing 2013 5-1 before being upset in the first round by the St. Albert Stars. They were supposed to build off that season and take a step closer to the region’s first league title since the Red Deer Sooners won in 1998. As the injuries mounted, however, they had to lean on more youth and suffered several close losses to finish the season 3-4 and in sixth spot. This put them on the road for a tough playoff game and they were unable to overcome a veteran Drillers squad. But what did shine through is the future of the club. Rookie quarterback Cole Stewart threw for nearly 200 yards and no interceptions, but was let down by several critical drops.
Meanwhile, rookie running back Junior Rivera ran for 150 yards and added another 75 yards receiving. He had already locked up the league’s rushing title with 660 yards on 96 rushes, 305 yards better than second on the list — Lloydminster Vandals quarterback Mike Holman. He was also named to the league’s all-star team. “If he’s not the rookie of the year in this league then there is something seriously wrong with the voting process,” said Brown. Defensively, the Buccaneers were dominant. They had three bad plays all game and it cost them. The rest of the game, they teed off on their hosts. They sacked the Drillers’ quarterback six times, led by defensive Ian Keetch with three. Josh Achtemichuk and Jordan Willie also had one each. Willie also had an interception, as did Keegan Poelzer. “It was a phenomenal day for Willie, he’s a great player,” said Brown. Their defence was well represented on the all-star team with Willie, Keetch, Tylor Johnson and Kenton Poelzer all getting the nod. Poelzer and Keetch finished two-three in total sacks in the regular season with 7.5 and 6.5 respectively. Dave Bosch of the Fort McMurray Monarchs led the AFL with 8.5. Wide receiver Matt Merkley joined Rivera as an offensive all-star. All that’s left for the Bucs is their year end wrap up at the end of September, then it’s hitting the gym and recruiting trail knowing better days are ahead. “It was great learning for those guys and great practical experience for those guys who will be the heart and soul of this team for years to come,” said Brown. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com
Stampeders 30 Tiger-Cats 20 HAMILTON - Bo Levi Mitchell and the Calgary Stampeders continued their winning ways against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Mitchell had a TD pass and ran for another as Calgary defeated Hamilton 30-20 on Saturday afternoon for its sixth straight win and 10th in 11 games versus the Ticats. But a timely injury and boost from the defence helped the Stamps regain a share of top spot in the West Division. Drew Tate’s three-yard TD run with 33 seconds remaining cemented the Calgary win, to the dismay of the Ron Joyce Stadium gathering of 6,500 that was energized by a spirited Hamilton comeback. Tate’s touchdown was set by a Jamar Wall interception of Ticats’ quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, who had replaced injured starter Dan LeFevour. “That’s the kind of defence they are, bend but don’t break,” Mitchell said. “They give us the ball in good field position all the time.” But LeFevour’s departure was as big as Wall’s interception. LeFevour pulled Hamilton to within 20-17 just 16 seconds into the fourth with a 21-yard TD strike to Bakari Grant. But he suffered a suspected left knee injury
while scrambling and it was Masoli who came on after Rene Paredes’ 38-yard field goal at 5:11 boosted Calgary’s lead to 23-17. Justin Medlock’s 32-yard field goal at 9:11 made it a three-point game. LeFevour finished 21-of-30 passing for 282 yards and two TDs while adding 42 yards rushing. Masoli completed 7-of-10 attempts for 68 yards with the costly interception. “Obviously the game shifted when they had to make a quarterback change,” Calgary head coach/GM John Hufnagel said. Mitchell was a workmanlike 19-of-27 passing for 271 yards while adding 33 yards rushing on four carries. But the unit’s workhorse was Hugh Charles, who ran for 102 yards on 14 carries in his first start with Calgary. Charles is the Stamps’ fifth different tailback this season after injuries to Canadians Jon Cornish and Matt Walter and internationals Jock Sanders and Martell Mallett. “Man, I love watching him play,” Mitchell said of Charles. “Hugh’s one of those guys when he sees it he hits it running and he’s fast. He was a huge factor in the win.” Calgary (6-1) moved into a tie with the Edmonton Eskimos (6-1) atop the West Division on a wet, blustery afternoon. Hamilton (1-6) suffered its third straight loss.

Bad first inning does in Blue Jays BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Drew Hutchinson wanted to return to the mound after he pitched an ugly first inning. After the Toronto Blue Jays righthander recorded two outs, he allowed six runs on a Conor Gillaspie grand slam and a Jordan Danks’ two-run home run. The Blue Jays warmed up a reliever but wound up keeping Hutchinson in the game. He saved the bullpen by limiting the Chicago White Sox to one run in the next six innings, but Toronto still lost 7-5 on Sunday. “He settled in and did a heck of a job, kind of a glimpse of what the kid can become and what he’s done,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said about Hutchinson. “He gutted it out and gave us a chance to win. “We had many opportunities. We just couldn’t get that big hit.” Hutchinson (8-11) held the White Sox to four hits in his final six innings. Chicago scored its seventh run on a Danks sacrifice fly. Hutchinson has given up six or more runs in four of his last seven starts. “I just didn’t make good pitches. That’s the bottom line,” Hutchinson said. “I was a little up in the zone. I had two outs, and I had two strikes. I had a good chance to get through the (first) inning with no runs and I gave up six and put us in a big hole.” After the rocky first inning, Hutchinson said he did a better job of driving the ball down, throwing his sinker and getting groundballs. Toronto’s Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer, his 27th this season and first since returning from the disabled list on Friday. The Blue Jays have lost five of six and 11 of 15 to fall

CUP: Opportunity It was widely reported at the time that the Kings had intended to buyout or waive the former Rebel in a capsaving move, but could not do so with Fraser on the injured list. What this did do, however, was buy him time and a chance with the Kings. “When I was traded there with a broken foot, I didn’t even know if I was going to be there, and I told my wife to be prepared to go to Manchester three years ago,” he said. “They gave me an opportunity to show myself and to play coming out of my injury. Three years later I was still there. “It was a fast three years, a whirlwind, but to be on such a good team ... good teams have a good group of guys and it really was the best group of guys.” His efforts earned him a two-year contract extension in 2012 and two Stanley Cups in three years. Fraser also brought the Cup to Sylvan Lake in 2012, despite being a Surrey, B.C., native. “This is home now, we have our own children and this is where we are going to raise our kids,” he said. “I have B.C. blood in me, but at the same time I’m an Albertan now and will be in the future. Living here in town, it’s important for me to bring (the Cup) here.” On Sunday he was also raising money for the NexSource Multiplex, charging $5 donation for people to have their photo taken with the Cup. “This is just one more reason why Sylvan Lake is Hockeyville. You can see everyone get excited about it,” said Sylvan Lake mayor Shawn McIntyre. “Not only is he sharing (the Cup) with us, he also has some vision to help us rebuild our community. To see him join up with that effort is great and we’re so happy to have it.” Sylvan Lake won the Kraft Hockeyville contest this spring, earning $100,000 towards the project and the opportunity to host an NHL exhibition game on Sept. 24 between the Calgary Flames and the Phoenix Coyotes. McIntyre says they will have the game playing on big screens outside of the 1,000-seat arena so everyone can watch the game and make for more of a festival atmosphere.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Munenori Kawasaki, right, tags out Chicago White Sox’s Gordon Beckham during the sixth inning of a baseball game on Sunday, in Chicago, Ill. 7 1-2 games behind Baltimore in the AL East and four behind Seattle in the AL wild card race. Scott Carroll (5-7) allowed five runs in 5 2-3 innings. Jake Petricka earned his ninth save in 12 chances after loading the bases in the ninth. “I’m really proud of our guys giving me a six-run, five-run cushion,” Carroll said. “On a lot of days, pitchers wouldn’t get wins the way I pitched.” Toronto grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first when Jose Reyes scored on a play that was overturned by video review.
He originally had been called out at the plate on a throw from first baseman Jose Abreu. Encarnacion golfed his homer just into the left field bullpen in the fifth as Toronto cut it to 6-4. Pinch-hitter Dioner Navarro singled in a run in the sixth to make it 6-5. TRAINER’S ROOM Toronto: 1B Dan Johnson began a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Saturday, going 0 for 3 with an RBI. He’s played 13 games with the Blues Jays and went on the DL with a strained left hamstring.
“We had over five million votes to make Sylvan Lake Hockeyville and that means people all across Alberta and all across Canada were supporting us,” he said. “I hope that everyone of them can come out and have that party with us, celebrate what they worked towards and have a good time.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com
They they lost three out of five games and finished out of the medal standings. One of those losses was 1-0 to the tournament’s eventual champ and one of the best senior AAA teams in the U.S., and they beat the tournament’s second place team. “The teams out there are every bit as good, if not better, than the teams we will see at nationals,” said Gulbransen, who has no plans yet to hang up the cleats. “If I was to tell (the younger players) something it would be, ‘It’s nothing we haven’t seen before. Don’t be intimidated. These guys have 9-5 jobs just like we do, they’re no different. It’s who’s going to compete and who wants it more.” They open on Thursday against New Brunswick at noon. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com
BALL: Smell blood “It was about the sixth or seventh inning I could smell blood in the water, not just from a personal stand point, but a team stand point,” he said. “We were making defensive plays, I was able to locate some pitches and I just had a feeling it was going to be our night to clinch.” That win also clinched a spot in the 2015 national championship. While a pitching rotation is not set yet for St. John’s, Gulbransen getting at least one start is a safe bet. The Riggers have several solid options for starting pitchers including Matt Davis, Josh Edwards and Dustin Northcott. With potentially seven games in five days, they will lean on all of them. Offensively they are loaded with guys like Jason and Jaret Chatwood, Jason Louis and Kevin Curran. Adding outfielder Aaron Dunsmore from the Parkland White Sox only adds to that offence. This will be Louis’ first time at a national championship tournament since the 31-year-old was playing bantam and midget ball. He has shown plenty of pop in his first year with the Riggers and will be counted on to come through in St. John’s. “You’ve got to try and not do too much. It’s a natural instinct to want to swing harder,” said Louis, adding the quality of the Riggers is a big reason he chose to play with them this year. “Guys are throwing harder so you want to swing the bat harder and that’s not always the secret to being successful. But go in, be aggressive and hopefully we can win some ball games.” Containing nerves and managing the unknown will be key to succeeding in St. John’s. For inspiration, all they have to do is look back on their one rough patch of the season to know they can handle adversity, the Kamloops International Tournament.
RUGBY: Dominant On offence, England used its size to exert all sorts of pressure, making several dangerous advances into Canadian territory. Scarratt opened the scoring 11 minutes into the match. England drew a penalty after an impressive break from Natasha Hunt, who used her speed to run down the middle deep into the Canadian zone. England could have come away with more early on, but Canada’s defence held firm with some solid tackling. Canada was spared a try when Hunt was tackled near the touch-line. An official review declared Hunt had not moved the ball into touch when she was brought down by Andrea Burk. England kept coming, and Scarratt kicked her second penalty of the game at the 25-minute mark to put England up 6-0. Canada had trouble getting into England’s zone and it proved costly when Danielle Waterman capped a series of crisp passes and scored the game’s first try at the 33 minute mark. Scarratt missed the convert as England went up 11-0. “We were not able to match physically. At times we were dominant but they were more consistent,” Ratier said. “They won some balls and we were not able to attack on the outside. We tried, but they were just better at defence.”
LACK OF TIMELY HITS The Blue Jays went 4 for 11 with runners in scoring position and left the bases loaded in the ninth Sunday. Toronto has scored an average 2.7 runs in its last nine road games. “We’ve been beat up a little bit in the staff and certain starts, but we’ve had some of the right guys at the right time,” Gibbons said. “We just couldn’t get to cash in that big one.” ON A ROLL Reyes is hitting .405 during his ninegame hitting streak. He went 3 for 5 with a double Sunday.

Riders win fourth straight with victory over Als BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Roughriders 16 Alouettes 11 REGINA - Quarterback Darian Durant doesn’t care how his team wins football games — as long as they keep winning. Debuting their signature alternate neon green jerseys on Saturday, Durant’s Saskatchewan Roughriders posted a fourth straight victory with a 16-11 win over the Montreal Alouettes in a game that proved to be an offensive struggle for both teams. While the Riders’ last two wins haven’t exactly been pretty, Durant said he is happy to take the points. “We’re winning and we’re beating some pretty good teams,” said the 31-year-old QB, who completed 19 of 30 pass attempts for 221 yards. “As long as we win games, it doesn’t matter how you win it. I think our day will come where we fill up the stat sheet.” Durant hooked up with Rob Bagg on a 30-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the fourth quarter to give the home team a 12-4 lead that proved to be the difference in the game. Montreal’s Duron Carter kept the sellout crowd of 33,427 in their seats rather than heading for the exits late in the fourth quarter. Carter returned a missed field goal attempt 123 yards for a touchdown with 3:14 remaining and brought the Als to within two. With his offence scuffling, Montreal head coach Tom Higgins elected to kick the single point rather than attempt a two-point convert that could have tied the score. “There was way too much football left to be played,” Higgins explained. “A two-point convert, you’re looking at a 50-50 or 60-40 (percentage of success). I chose to take the 99.9 per cent chance in that we were going to score the single and that we were going to get the football back. We weren’t going for the tie. We wanted to win this game.” Instead, the Als dropped their fifth consecutive contest and now sport a 1-6 record. The Riders (5-2) have moved into a tie for third place in the CFL’s West Division standings.

Federer finds his form in Cincinnati WINS SIXTH WESTERN AND SOUTHERN OPEN TITLE, POSPISIL FALLS IN DOUBLES FINAL BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MASON, Ohio — Roger Federer won an unprecedented sixth championship in Cincinnati, overcoming one bad set. Serena Williams dominated for her first title. Federer extended his record of finals perfection in Cincinnati, beating David Ferrer 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 in the Western & Southern Open on Sunday. He’s won all six times he’s reached the tournament’s title match. The latest came against an opponent he has dominated throughout his career. Federer improved to 16-0 against Ferrer, who has won only five sets off him overall. It ended a bit of a slump for Federer, who finally got the large winner’s trophy after losing his last four Masters title matches. He was the runnerup to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Toronto a week earlier. “I’ve been bringing home some smaller ones,” Federer said. “I’m happy to get the big one.” Earlier on Sunday, Williams finally got the one that had always slipped away. And she did it so convincingly that she came away thinking another title could be coming soon. Williams needed only 62 minutes to beat Ana Ivanovic 6-4, 6-1 for a personal breakthrough. She’d never even reached the finals in Cincinnati until last year, when she fell apart and lost to Victoria Azarenka on a third-set tiebreaker. No wobbles this time. After getting broken in the first game, she took control with

I still have a lot of work to do. It’s definitely a better level than I’ve played all year, to be honest.” Ivanovic was treated for a stomach ailment during her nearly 3-hour win over Maria Sharapova in the semifinals Saturday night. She didn’t have much left against Williams, who dominated with

her serve. Williams had 12 aces. “Only?” Ivanovic said. “It felt like way more.” The only other event that Williams has played six times without a title is Sydney. She finally got her win in Cincinnati with the help of a good matchup. Williams is 7-1 in her career against Ivanovic, with the only loss coming at the Australian Open this year. The doubles win streak of Canadian Vasek Pospisil and Jack Sock came to an end on Sunday as the pair lost 6-3, 6-2 to Bob and Mike Bryan in the Western & Southern Open final.
Now, the hottest team on the ATP are pointing their sights on qualifying for the eight-team season finals in London next November. Pospisil has now established the year-end World Tour Finals as the benchmark for a breakthrough season, with Pospisil and Sock provisionally standing ninth. “It was a great week for us. We have to continue with the solid results if we want to make the finals,’’ Pospisil said. ``This was a great step towards that. Hopefully we can keep working and make it.” Pospisil, from Vancouver, and Sock had won 14 consecu-
tive matches since getting together on the eve of Wimbledon and starting their collaboration with the Grand Slam title at the All England Club, where they beat the Bryans in the final. They followed up last month by winning in Atlanta in their second-ever outing. The partners set a record in modern tennis, surpassing the previous best start by a new doubles team of 12-0 set in 1984-85 by Paul Annacone and Cristo Van Rensburg. “We had a great run but you just can’t feel incredible in every match,” said Pospisil. “We’ve played a lot of good matches this summer. “Today we struggled with timing. But the Bryans were playing great and they jumped on us. Our first serves let us down a bit, but that’s normal considering how well we’ve ben doing for.” The Bryans, ranked No. 1 in the world, dumped Pospisil and Sock team in just 53 minutes, breaking three times and saving the only break point they faced. Pospisil and Sock are now headed for the US Open where they will try to duplicate their rookie Grand Slam success. “It was obviously fun to play those guys again,” said Mike Bryan. “Wimbledon was such a great match going down to the wire 7-5 in the fifth. “We weren’t look at it as a revenge thing. Just another shot to win a title here in Cincinnati against a great team, against a really hot team. That’s the first match they’ve lost, so it’s a very impressive run by them.”

EDMONTON - Pauline Bremer’s goal in the 23rd minute stood up as the winner as Germany eliminated the host Canadian team with a 2-0 victory in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup quarter-final game between the two nations on Saturday. Germany will now await the winner of Sunday’s match between France and South Korea to determine its semifinal opponent for next week’s game in Montreal. The underdog Canadians were playing in the knockout stage of the tournament for the first time since 2004. The attendance at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton was 22,421, easily shattering the previous best showing of 16,503 for the 2014 event in Toronto. It was, however, the final game of the U-20 World Cup being played in Western Canada. Canada came out with a very strong start, putting the German side on its heels early. The Canadians came close to scoring in the ninth minute as Emma Fletcher sent a long shot past German goalkeeper Meike Kaemper and off the crossbar. Germany started to match the pace from there and had a strong opportunity of its own in the 17th minute as Rebecca Knaak got a shot off from in tight, but Canadian ‘keeper Kailen Sheridan was perfectly positioned to haul it in. Germany got on the board in dramatic fashion in the 24th minute as a long goal kick was flicked on to Bremer for a clear breakaway. Sheridan came way out of her net to try and get to the ball and looked to have blocked Bremer out, but she was able to side-step at the last minute and take a shot on net that deflected off of Canadian defender Kadeisha Buchanan and in for a 1-0 lead. It was Bremer’s fourth

SKorea’s Gunn Yang beats Canada’s Corey Conners in U.S. Amateur championship BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — South Korea’s Gunn Yang has completed his improbable run to the U.S. Amateur title with a 2-and-1 victory over Canada’s Corey Conners. At No. 776, Yang became
goal of the tournament. The favoured Germans kept up the attack for the remainder of the first half and almost added to their lead in the 34th minute before Canadian defender Rebecca Quinn made a saving tackle in the crease. Germany came close to making it 2-0 once again in the 51st minute as a giveaway ended up giving Bremer a shot from inside the crease, but Sheridan came up with a big stop. Canada had its best opportunity in a while at the 61st minute mark, but Janine Beckie’s perfect pass in front was whiffed on by Valerie Sanderson. Then, in the 67th minute, Fletcher barely lost a race to a loose ball sitting in the crease to a diving Kaemper. The Germans made it 2-0 in the 82nd minute, as a corner kick by Sara Daebritz was headed in by Knaak. Canada came flying back seconds later and Amandine Pierrre-Louis had Kaemper beat, but shot the ball just wide of the far post. The Canadian squad furiously pushed forward in the final minutes, but was unable to get on the board despite a couple of very good chances. Earlier Saturday, North Korea knocked the United States out of the tournament with a 3-1 quarter-final win on penalties in Toronto. Jon So Yon, Ri Kyong Hyang, and Rim Se Ok each scored after drawing 1-1 through full-time. Goalkeeper Kim Chol Ok stopped three American penalty shots to earn player of the match honours. So Yon also scored in regulation, tying the game at a goal apiece with a penalty kick in the 54th minute. Makenzy Doniak had the lone U.S. goal in regulation, sending the ball into the net in the sixth minute, while Stephanie Amack scored on penalties. the lowest-ranked player in the world amateur standings to win the country’s biggest title for non-professional golfers. Along the way, he beat five players inside the top 100, including the 44th-ranked Conners, who is from Kitchener, Ont. The 20-year-old Yang, a San Diego State player, never trailed in the 36-hole final at Atlanta Athletic Club, pushing his lead to 2 up with four to play by rolling in an 18-foot birdie putt at No. 14. He closed out the match with a tap-in par at No. 17, the 35th hole. The South Korean was 1 up after the morning round. Afternoon play was halted by a rain delay of 1 hour, 37 minutes.
TORONTO — Ami’s Holiday couldn’t find a clear path to the winner’s circle in the Queen’s Plate or the Prince of Wales Stakes, so he got another chance in the Breeders’ Stakes. Under a clean ride from jockey Luis Contreras on Sunday afternoon, Ami’s Holiday cruised by horses on the outside to win the $500,000 final jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown. Second to Lexie Lou in the Queen’s Plate on polytrack and third to Coltimus Prime in the Prince of Wales on dirt, Ami’s Holiday validated trainer Josie Carroll’s confidence by winning on the turf course at Woodbine Race Track. “I think it says a lot about this horse,” Carroll said. “Not many horses can do all three and do them well, so I just think we have an exceptional horse.” Ami’s Holiday, who beat long shot Interpol by threequarters of a length, was the only horse to run all three legs of the Canadian Triple Crown. The morning-line favourite who went off as the second choice at odds of 2-to-1 showed no fatigue from his third race in seven weeks and looked to be on top of his game at 1 ½-mile. After the Prince of Wales last month, Carroll had some reservations about bringing Ami’s Holiday back for the 124th running of the Breeders’ Stakes. He had never run on turf before, but she told owner Ivan Dalos it was worth seeing what Ami’s Holiday had to offer. “When I put him on the course he just lit it up. I said, ’Boy, we’ve got to take a serious look,”’ Carroll said. “The last three days he’s been wanting to eat meat. He’s been really serious. Here we are and he got it done.” Ami’s Holiday got it done in 2:30.12, paying 6.70 to win, 3.80 to place and 2.80 to show. He impressed Carroll by saving some acceleration for the finish and galloping out strong. With Big Red Bugsy setting the pace as the early leader, Contreras kept Ami’s Holiday in stalking position “sitting behind the speed” but not too far back in the pack. “I wanted to keep him with the other horses, keep him busy,” Contreras said. “I know my horse is very brave, he’s been in trouble before. He was going great.” Carroll told Contreras that “trouble always seems to find this horse and instructed him to use the big, wide turf course at Woodbine. The 28-year-old who won the 2011 Breeders’ Stakes aboard Pender Harbour did just that.

Jockey Luis Contreras guides Ami’s Holiday (8) to victory in the 124th running of the Breeders’ Stakes at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto on Sunday. Ami’s Holiday, owned by Ivan Dalos and trained by Josie Carroll, was the only horse to run all three legs of the Canadian Triple Crown. He finished second behind Lexie Lou in the Queen’s Plate at Woodbine and third behind Coltimus Prime in the Prince of Wales at Fort Erie. “It was really well done on Luis’s part,” Carroll said. “I think because we run so few mile and a half races in North America, the jockeys don’t ride as many and sometimes they think they have to take back, have to take back and when everybody’s taking back you’ve got no pace in front and you can’t close. “And I think he just really read this race well at every stage.” Rolling along the outside down the stretch, Ami’s Holiday passed final-turn leader Squeeze the King and Interpol to hit the wire first. It was the horse’s “tremendous kick at the end” that Contreras said made it happen. Eurico Rosa da Silva, who rode Up With the Birds to last year’s Breeders’ Stakes title, thought he had a winning trip with Squeeze the King, who finished third. “When we got to the stretch, the pace was very slow, so I thought I’m going to kick it in here because I had so much horse and I thought I was going to get the money,” da Sil-
va said. “But he ran a great race.” Bangkok was fourth. Unikat, the post-time favourite at 2-to1, finished last in the 12-horse field. Interpol’s jockey, Jesse Campbell, was thrilled the 18to-1 shot made such a huge run to get up for second. “He was getting tired in the end, but he kept hanging in there,” Campbell said. “He ran so hard. You have to be proud of him. The best horse won the race. I’m tickled to run second.” Carroll was glad to run second to Lexie Lou in the Queen’s Plate on July 6, even if a better trip might’ve landed Ami’s Holiday in first with a legitimate shot at the first Canadian Triple Crown since Wando in 2003. “It’s really tough to second guess a trip in the Queen’s Plate,” Carroll said. “You can’t take anything away from the filly that won that race. At the end of the day, she ran her race, she won it, she gets all the credit and we did it today.”

Villegas victorious at Wyndham Championship GETS FIRST PGA WIN SINCE 2010, BOOKS TICKET INTO FEDEX CUP PLAYOFFS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GREENSBORO, N.C. — When Camilo Villegas finished his final round in the Wyndham Championship, he was hoping to get into a playoff. Instead, every other contender stumbled, and the Colombian didn’t have to hit another shot to win his first PGA Tour title since 2010. Villegas shot a 7-under 63 and finished at 17-under 263. He earned $954,000 and 500 FedEx Cup points in the final regular-season event. Villegas had four birdies and an eagle on the front nine, added a birdie on the par-5 15th and watched the rest of the tournament from the air-conditioned scorer’s tent with his caddie. “I was hoping for a playoff,” Villegas said. “I thought I needed one more (stroke).” Turns out, he didn’t. When the rest of the field struggled late, he wound up with his fourth PGA Tour title and first since the 2010 Honda Classic. He also became the second firstround leader to win the tournament since its 2008 move back to Sedgefield Country Club and first since Arjun Atwal in 2010. Bill Haas and Freddie Jacobson tied for second. Haas had a 64, and Jacobson shot 66. Jacobson needed a par on the final hole to force a playoff, but he rolled his 11-foot putt inches past the hole. Heath Slocum was two strokes back after his 67. Brandt Snedeker, Webb Simpson and third-round leader Nick Watney were at 14 under. Ottawa’s Brad Fritsch finished tied for eighth at 13 under. Villegas had to wait about 40 minutes after his round ended before his victory was secure. He closed his round with three straight pars, tapping in from about 2 feet on 18 and hoping it was good enough. It was — once the crowd thinned itself out. “When the boys got closer to the last
hole, you can get a little anxious,” Villegas said. “You don’t have a golf club in your hand. You can’t really control it.” Watney was at 17 under and appeared headed for his sixth PGA Tour victory before he ran into trouble on 14 and picked up his third bogey of the tournament and second of the day. He followed with three straight pars, leaving him needing a birdie on the final hole to tie Villegas. He had one on Saturday — but couldn’t do it again. He wound up with a double bogey after his tee shot bounced past a cart path and out of bounds. “I knew what was at stake, and I pushed it a little bit,” Watley said. “Extremely disappointed. If you said at any point, you birdie (the) last hole, you’re in a playoff, you would take it. ... That was really a bad shot at a really bad time.” That came after Jacobson also couldn’t catch Villegas. The Swede’s second shot on 18 fell short of the green and his 70-foot birdie putt from the front edge rolled well past the hole before he was wide with his par putt. “It really sucks when you play solid all day and, you know, I really thought it was my day coming in,” Jacobson said. “All I needed was a solid strike to get up there and good feed in and have a good chance of winning.” Congestion atop the leaderboard was expected after 12 players entered their last trip around Sedgefield within three strokes of third-round leader Watney, who was at 14 under through three rounds. And Villegas wasn’t one of them. He began five strokes back but made a quick trip up the leaderboard, with three birdies and an eagle among his first five holes to move to 15 under and put himself within striking distance. The other main subplot here this week was the last-gasp push for spots in the PGA Tour’s playoffs, which begin next week at The Barclays in New

Jersey. Slocum, who arrived at No. 158 on the points list, was briefly at 17 under but slipped off the pace by closing with two bogeys that also helped keep him out of The Barclays field. He finished at No. 129. Martin Laird, who was at No. 136, was near the lead all weekend but his tie for 14th could only propel him to No. 127.
Paul Casey, 125th at the start of the week, tied for 18th to put himself safely in the field. Sang-Moon Bae played his way into the playoffs with a tie for 14th that moved him to No. 120. Jhonattan Vegas was at No. 124 but kept himself securely in the field with his tie for eighth. “The goal was definitely to move on to next week,” Vegas said. “Mission accomplished.”
Park wins LPGA Championship, Langer wins 5th Champions beating Lincicome in playoff Tour title of year BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Calm under the intense pressure of a playoff at a major, Inbee Park added another title to her impressive LPGA Tour resume. Park successfully defended her title in the LPGA Championship, beating Brittany Lincicome with a par on the first hole of a playoff Sunday to end the United States’ major streak at three. “I didn’t feel that nervous at all today,” said Park, also a playoff winner last year. “But once I got to the tee on the playoff hole, I just felt the nerves right away. It was like a replay of last year and experience definitely helped me out. I think I was able to stay calm.” The victory came on a bittersweet day when the LPGA Tour bade farewell to Rochester after 38 years. Next year, the tour will team with the PGA of America to run the Women’s PGA Championship. The 2015 event will be played at Westchester Country Club near New York City. Park, Nancy Lopez and Patty Sheehan are only players to win twice in a row in Rochester. “Just very happy to be part of history,” Park said. Poised to win her second major and keep that American streak alive, Lincicome’s nerves got the best of her at the end after leading all day. “Not being in this position for a while, I think it all caught up with me,” Lincicome said. “Being second at a major is always a good thing. I feel like I played really, really well this week. If
I keep playing the way I did, my time’s coming soon. It was nice to be in contention again.” On the playoff hole on Monroe Golf Club’s par-4 18th, Park hit her second shot into the rough behind the hole. Lincicome hit her approach to the left fringe, nearly identical to her position on the final hole of regulation when she made a bogey to fall into the playoff. Lincicome chipped 6 feet past the hole and failed to convert for bogey. Park, the winner last year at Locust Hill on the third extra hole with Catriona Matthew, chipped to 3 feet and calmly sank her par putt for her fifth major title and fourth in the last two seasons. “Inbee is so darn good. It was so close,” Lincicome said. “I need to learn how to control the nerves a little bit more.” Park finished with a 2-under 70 to match Lincicome at 11-under 276. Lincicome had a 71. Americans had won the first three majors of the LPGA Tour season for the first time since 1999. Lexi Thompson began the run at Kraft Nabisco, Michelle Wie won the U.S. Women’s Open and Mo Martin the Women’s British Open. The 26-year-old Park, from South Korea, was coming off a playoff loss to Mirim Lee last week in Michigan. Park also won this season in Canada and has 11 LPGA Tour victories. Park is projected to jump from third to second in the world, passing 17-yearold Lydia Ko of New Zealand.
KEVIN SUTHERLAND FALTERS AFTER 59 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Bernhard Langer rallied to win the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open on Sunday for his fifth Champions Tour victory of the year, while Kevin Sutherland followed his tour-record 59 with a 74 to drop into a tie for seventh. The 56-year-old Langer played all 54 holes without a bogey, closing with a 6-under 66 for a one-stroke victory over Woody Austin and Mark O’Meara. Langer finished at 16-under 200 at EnJoie for his 23rd career victory on the 50-and-over tour. “It doesn’t happen very often you go through a tournament without a bogey,” Langer said. Sutherland, the second-round leader, had five bogeys — four on the first 10 holes — and three birdies in the final round. Playing his third Champions Tour event since turning 50 in June, he finished at 12 under. Sutherland said he was pressing too much early. “So, I made some dumb bogeys,”
Sutherland said. “Just got myself behind early. I was surprised I didn’t play better today. A lot of energy was expended (Saturday) and I think I had a hard time just getting into the round.” Langer said he really wasn’t watching the leaderboard. “I knew I was close,” Langer said. “I just tried to keep my head down and make quality shots. When I looked at 16, I saw I was one up on someone who had already finished the round and figured I would be OK if I just parred out.” That he did, and won for the first time with his daughter, Christina, serving as his caddie. “I was more nervous for her than for me,” Langer said. “We hadn’t won a tournament with her caddying, though I’ve won a couple with my son. It’s always special when your kids are caddying.” Austin had a 65, and O’Meara shot 66. Langer, tied for fifth with Bob Charles on the tour victory list, earned $277,500 to increase his tour-leading total to $2,652,520.

Gordon gets another Sprint Cup win NASCAR
WINS THIRD OF THE YEAR, FIRST AT MICHIGAN SINCE 2001 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BROOKLYN, Mich. — It had been 13 years since Jeff Gordon’s last victory at Michigan — which came during the same season as his most recent championship on NASCAR’s top series. One of those droughts is finally over. Can the 43-year-old driver end the other as well? “Certainly things are going well — there’s no doubt about that,” Gordon said. “I’m as shocked as anybody else.” Gordon raced to his third Sprint Cup victory of the year, holding off Kevin Harvick on Sunday for his first win at Michigan International Speedway since 2001. Gordon broke the track qualifying record Friday when he took the pole at 206.558 mph. He followed that up with his third Cup victory at MIS — and took over the points lead from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. After a series of cautions, Gordon came off the final restart well and led with 16 laps remaining. He fought off a challenge from Joey Logano and maintained a comfortable margin over Harvick, winning the 400-mile race by 1.412 seconds in his No. 24 Chevrolet. “Joey, as we rolled up to some of the restarts — not that last one, but some of the other ones — as guys were starting to sort of anticipate it, he was slowing down, and when he slowed down, everybody got bottled up, and then he’d take off,” Gordon said. “That last one, I thought he had a good start, but I had a good one, too.” Harvick was second, followed by Logano, Paul Menard and Earnhardt. Gordon completed a sweep at MIS for Hendrick. Jimmie Johnson won the June race on the two-mile oval. “I think all of our teams are running well, but this is a big, big win,” owner Rick Hendrick said. “It’s great to see Jeff so happy. He’s like a little

He led 86 laps and Gordon was in front for 68. “We can win a championship. I really feel we can do that. That’s the message I want to put out there,” Logano said. “We’ve got to find a little bit more speed to keep up with one car today — 24 car was the best, only because he was good on the long run. We weren’t as good on the long run. There were eight cautions, including a fairly early one when Danica Patrick’s car spun and Justin Allgaier crashed into her. Nine cars were caught up in that incident, including Matt Kenseth’s No. 20 Toyota. Kenseth never really recovered, finishing 38th. Brad Keselowski rubbed against the wall with about 32 laps remaining and finished eighth, remaining winless at this track in his home state. Johnson
overcame some problems of his own to finish ninth, his first top-10 showing in six races. Jeff Burton was 37th after replacing Tony Stewart in the No. 14 car. Stewart skipped his second straight Cup race after he struck and killed a driver at a dirt-track race in New York last weekend. Hendrick and Stewart-Haas Racing are alliance teams. Hendrick said he hasn’t talked to Stewart, but he’s been in touch with Eddie Jarvis, Stewart’s longtime business manager. “I think they’re making the best of the situation that they’re in,” Hendrick said. “Tony’s got a lot of good folks around him.” Gordon won for the 91st time on the Cup circuit, and this is his first threewin season since 2011. He took over the lead in the standings by three points over Earnhardt. Gordon also won this season at Kansas and Indianapolis. “As a driver, especially somebody that’s been getting beat up over the years about restarts, it’s pretty nice to
have the last two wins come down to restarts.” Assuming they attempt to qualify for the final three races of the regularseason, the 12 drivers with victories this season have all wrapped up spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Kenseth remains the top driver without a victory in the standings, but he dropped to fifth place. If the regular season ended now, the last four drivers in the Chase would be Kenseth, Ryan Newman, Clint Bowyer and Greg Biffle. Bowyer and Biffle both moved ahead of rookie Kyle Larson, whose car caught fire against the wall just before the halfway point. Larson ended up 43rd. Bowyer finished sixth but sounded concerned about his situation. “We’re behind, there’s no question. We just did what we needed to do today,” he said. “Right now, everything has to be perfect to get a decent finish and today everything was perfect. This is a tricky part of the season. Everybody is pushing hard.”
Power wins at Milwaukee Mile, builds points lead for Penske BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WEST ALLIS, Wis. — With traffic ahead and teammate Juan Pablo Montoya closing in from behind, Will Power stepped on the accelerator. The IndyCar points leader manoeuvred through the high-speed gridlock to claim a crucial victory Sunday at the Milwaukee Mile. Power added a little breathing room in the standings over second-place Helio Castroneves and boosted Team Penske’s hopes for a season title with two races to go. “We’re a well-oiled machine right now with all three cars,” Power said about the team that also includes Castroneves. “If we have a couple more days like this, of course, it’s going to be a great finish.” A Penske driver has finished second each of the previous four seasons and five of the last six. Power raced to his third victory this season, and his first on an oval. Montoya finished second, while Tony Kanaan was third. After coming into Milwaukee with a four-point lead, Power heads to the road course at Sonoma next week with 602 points, 39 more than Castroneves. Plus, Power proved doubters wrong who said he couldn’t win on ovals. It was Power’s third career oval victory, following Texas in 2011 and Fontana last year. “Yes! I love winning on ovals! I love winning on ovals!” he yelled on his radio after taking the checkered flag. The season could be decided on an oval with the final in two weeks at Fontana. Now brimming with confidence, Power said he especially wanted to win at Milwaukee. “This is the first year that I can say to myself that I am ... a better allaround driver,” the 33-year-old Australian said. “I guess, it just comes with age, you know.” Power’s victory ended Ryan HunterReay’s two-year winning streak at the Mile. Hunter-Reay won the Indianapolis 500, but his championship hopes
WEST ALLIS, Wis. _ Ryan Hunter-Reay never seemed too worried about his future with Andretti Autosport. The Indianapolis 500 winner can focus on more pressing matters now that he has a three-year contract extension. There are just three weeks left on the IndyCar schedule for HunterReay to pass Will Power and Helio Castroneves and claim a second series championship in three seasons. HunterReay holds 14 wins in 166 IndyCar starts including 81 top-10 finishes.
took a hit after exiting following 168 laps with mechanical problems. Hunter-Reay was third in the standings entering the race. His day had started on a high note after signing a three-year extension with Andretti Autosport to stay in the No. 28 car. The day belonged to Power, who led for 229 laps. He is in familiar territory in contention late in the season after also having led the standings with three races to go in 2012 and 2010. Power crashed in the finale both years. Once again, he’s in control going into this season’s final two races in California. “I’ve been in this situation before — the difference is, I don’t have a weakness anymore,” Power said. “It’s just a matter of executing on a weekend.” Power led by 2 seconds late Sunday before Montoya was able to shave about a half-second from the lead around lap 238. Soon, Power and Montoya were the only two cars on the lead lap, with traffic ahead. It could have provided Montoya with a prime opportunity to get by.
Instead, Power started pulling away and won by 2.7 seconds. While each praising Power, Mon-

Winner Will Power is flanked by second place finisher Juan Pablo Montoya, left, and third place finisher Tony Kanaan after the Milwaukee Mile IndyCar auto race Sunday, in West Allis, Wis.
toya and Kanaan also groused about the traffic late with less room to pass at Milwaukee. Power said he got by from saving gas, then flooring it after hearing on the radio that Montoya was closing. “We asked him today to drive on an oval like he would on a road course,” team president Tim Cindric said about the fuel strategy Power used. Montoya’s momentum slowed just as he was gaining. “I really killed my tires, trying to pass traffic,” Montoya said. “If you asked me at the beginning of the year if I would be mad (finishing second), I would have said you were crazy,” he added. “But here I am.” Castroneves finished 11th in the race. Simon Pagenaud, finished seventh, allowing him to move up to third in the driver standings, 92 behind Power. Hunter-Reay fell to fourth place, while Montoya is fifth. Sixth-place Scott Dixon is the only other driver who remains eligible for the season title. The odds look good for Team Penske with three drivers still in contention, led by Power and Castroneves at the top.

Canada beats Czech Rep. to win gold at Hlinka tournament BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada 6 Czech Republic 2 BRECLAV, Czech Republic _ Canada defeated the Czech Republic 6-2 on Saturday to win gold at the under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup for the seventh consecutive year. Lawson Crouse scored two goals for the Canadians, who won all five games at the tournament and outscored the opposition 32-10. Dylan Strome opened the scoring at 3:34 and Crouse made it a 2-0 game a few minutes later. Mitchell Marner and Travis Konecny added goals later in the first period to silence the crowd at Alcaplast Arena. “We knew we had to have a really good start against (the Czechs) because they were playing really well,” said head coach Jody Hull. “Our guys just bought into the process. It’s an amazing group.” The Czechs got on the board early in the second period when Radek Koblizek beat netminder Zach Sawchenko. Nicolas Roy restored Canada’s four-goal cushion before Lukas Jasek
scored for the Czechs late in the frame. Crouse added an insurance goal in the third period. “After our first goal, we just kept rolling,” Marner said. “We’re a hard team to stop when we play as one and I think we did that very well in this tournament and in the gold medal game.” Canada finished first in Group B in preliminary round play with a 3-0 record and dumped the United States 11-5 in the semifinal on Friday. The Czechs were tops in Group A at 3-0 and defeated Sweden 4-3 to reach the final. “We tried to keep things simple yet hard enough for other teams to play against us,” Hull said. “I’m just proud that every guy bought in to what we were doing as a hockey club.’’ Sawchenko made 17 saves for the victory. Alex Stezka and Daniel Vladar split goaltending duties for the Czechs, stopping 18 of 24 shots. The Americans beat Sweden 5-4 to take the bronze medal. Dennis Yan scored the winning goal in the final minute of overtime. Canada has won the tournament on 19 of 24 occasions since it began in 1991.
New season, same position: Man City tops fledgling Premier League after win at Newcastle BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LIVERPOOL, England _ Two days into the English Premier League season and there is a familiar sight at the top of the standings. Manchester City began the defence of its title with a 2-0 away victory over Newcastle on Sunday, with star forwards David Silva and Sergio Aguero scoring at St. James’ Park. Liverpool — the runner-up last season — was less convincing against Southampton at Anfield but still took the three points, with Daniel Sturridge’s 79th-minute goal clinching a 2-1 win in the team’s first match of the post-Luis Suarez era. Raheem Sterling put Liverpool ahead in the 23rd, but Brendan Rodgers’ side struggled for fluency and Nathaniel Clyne deservedly equalized for Southampton in the 56th. With Burnley-Chelsea wrapping up the first round of fixtures Monday, City is the only team to have won by more than a one-goal margin. “We have talked to the squad about the two ‘H’s — hungry and humble,” City manager Manuel Pellegrini said. “We need both if want to continue winning titles and improve on what we did last season.” Bidding for a third English league title in four years, City began the season in ominous fashion with a clean sheet and a professional performance, sprinkled with opportunistic goals. Spain playmaker Silva raced on to an impudent back-heel from Edin Dzeko to open the scoring with a low finish in the 38th minute. Newcastle applied pressure in the final 15 minutes, only for Aguero to add a second on a counter-attack in

stoppage time, the Argentina striker slotting into the far corner after his first shot was parried out to him by goalkeeper Tim Krul. Aguero came on as a late substitute along with Brazil midfielder Fernandinho, showing the strength in depth in the champions’ squad after a lowkey summer when Pellegrini has focused on bolstering his defence and midfield. Chelsea is the favourite with British bookmakers after improving its attack by signing Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas, but City still could be the team to beat. “We were brave and we went for it,” Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said. “In the end, the quality won.” With Suarez departed to Barcelona for $130 million, a new “SAS” partnership could be emerging at Anfield. Sterling and Sturridge rescued Liverpool in a flat display that saw a newlook Southampton seize the initiative at the start of the second half. Clyne’s goal — a fierce strike into the top corner after a neat flick from Dusan Tadic — came at a time when Liverpool lost its way and Southampton wasted some great openings before Sturridge pounced for the winner. Sterling, who slipped home a low finish after Jordan Henderson’s curling pass to give Liverpool the lead, turned provider when he headed the ball into the six-yard box where Sturridge reacted quickest to turn in a shot. The victory was only just preserved as Morgan Schneiderlin struck the bar for Southampton in the 88th minute and substitute Shane Long headed the rebound just wide. Without Suarez, the Premier League’s top scorer last season, Liverpool is set to find life much tougher.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Bruce Ellington (3) is tackled by Denver Broncos strong safety David Bruton (30) and cornerback Omar Bolden (31) during an NFL preseason football game in Santa Clara, Calif., Sunday.
Broncos spoil Levi’s Stadium debut with win over 49ers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NFL EXHIBITION
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Even Peyton Manning realizes he’s ready for the regular season. Or at least darn close. Manning threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Julius Thomas and dominated in his two series, leading the Denver Broncos past the San Francisco 49ers 34-0 on Sunday to spoil the NFL debut at sparkling $1.2 billion Levi’s Stadium. “It’s been a good start. That’s all it is, though,” Manning said. “We’ve still got some things we have to improve on.” The 38-year-old Manning, beginning his 17th season after throwing for an NFL-record 55 touchdowns last year, completed 12 of 14 passes for 102 yards and a 120.8 rating. He was 8 for 8 on Denver’s second drive, then backup Brock Osweiler took over and threw for a score and led another touchdown drive in a preseason matchup of the past two Super Bowl losers. Colin Kaepernick went 5 for 9 for 39 yards in his two series before a sellout crowd at the team’s flashy new digs in the heart of Silicon Valley. Major League Soccer’s San Jose Earthquakes beat the Seattle Sounders in the stadium’s first sporting event Aug. 2. Demaryius Thomas had three catches on Denver’s opening drive, including a 20-yard gain. That gives Thomas 10 receptions for 89 yards in Denver’s two victories against the NFC West’s powerhouses, the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco. “Coming off last year, losing the Super Bowl like we did, coming into OTAs I think everybody had a different mindset,” Demaryius Thomas said. “You can see it with older guys, new guys. Our main thing was going out and being able to convert, and as a defence
stop guys. If we’re going to be stopped, we’re going to stop ourselves.” C.J. Anderson ran for a 1-yard TD, while Matt Prater kicked a 26-yard field goal and Mitch Ewald added a late 22-yarder. San Francisco’s typically spot-on Phil Dawson sailed two long kicks wide right. Denver did it on defence, too, getting two interceptions and a fumble recovery and a goal-line stand to end the game. The Broncos recovered another fumble on special teams. “It was a great moment for our defence,” defensive lineman Marvin Austin said. “It’s real hard to put up a goose egg in a preseason game.” The 49ers lost safety Antoine Bethea to a concussion early in the second quarter. He was able to walk off on his own, but later left for the locker room. Denver linebacker Lamin Barrow limped off early in the second half with a lower leg injury, then the Broncos lost tight end Gerrell Robinson to a knee injury. Linebacker Jamar Chaney injured a hamstring, coach John Fox said. As San Francisco struggled in all phases, tens of thousands of fans made their way out midway through the third quarter — certainly helping to alleviate traffic concerns. The 49ers ended a four-decade run at Candlestick Park last season. “We have to tighten this down fast,” coach Jim Harbaugh said. “We have work to do, there’s no doubt about it.” Two key members of San Francisco’s offence made their first appearances of the preseason, with Frank Gore running for 9 yards on the first of his two carries. Wide receiver Michael Crabtree also appeared as defensive stars Patrick Willis and Justin Smith got the day off.

Breakthrough in Ukraine conflict GOVERNMENT TROOPS HAVE ENTERED REBEL-HELD CITY, CAPTURED POLICE STATION BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KIEV, Ukraine — Army troops have penetrated deep inside a rebel-controlled city in eastern Ukraine in what could prove a breakthrough development in the four-month-long conflict, the Ukrainian government said Sunday. However, the military acknowledged that another one of its fighter planes was shot down by the separatists, who have been bullish about their ability to continue the battle and have bragged about receiving support from Russia. An Associated Press reporter spotted a column of several dozen heavy vehicles, including tanks and at least one rocket launcher, rolling through rebelheld territory on Sunday. Talks in Berlin between the foreign ministers of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France aimed at finding a political solution to the conflict ended without any substantial result. Ukraine’s national security council said government forces captured a district police station in Luhansk on Saturday after bitter clashes in the Velika Vergunka neighbourhood. Weeks of fighting have taken their toll on Luhansk, which city authorities say has reached the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. The siege mounted by government forces has ground delivery of basic provisions to a halt and cut off power and running water. Although rebel forces have regularly yielded territory in recent weeks, they have continued to show formidable fighting capabilities. Ukrainian military spokesman Oleksiy Dmitrashkovsky said Sunday that the separatists shot down a Ukrainian fighter plane over the Luhansk region after it launched an attack on rebels. The pilot ejected and was taken to a secure place, he said. Another military spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, later said that the status of the pilot was still being clarified. The column of armoured vehicles was spotted southeast of Luhansk out-

It was unclear whether the column had come from Russia. Among the armoured vehicles was a Strela-10, a short-range surface-to-air missile system capable of hitting targets up to 3,500 metres (11,500 feet.) The area is just across the border from where a large Russian aid convoy is poised to cross with supplies intended for Luhansk and other afflicted zones. Part of the aid convoy headed to the frontier crossing on Sunday, but the 16 white trucks then stopped. The convoy of nearly 270 vehicles has been marooned for days in a town near the
Federal autopsy ordered in Missouri shooting case BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FERGUSON, Mo. — Attorney General Eric Holder on Sunday ordered a federal medical examiner to perform another autopsy on a black teenager whose fatal shooting by a white police officer has spurred a week of rancorous and sometimes-violent protests in suburban St. Louis. The “extraordinary circumstances” surrounding the death of 18-yearold Michael Brown and a request by Brown’s family members prompted the order, Department of Justice spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement. “This independent examination will take place as soon as possible,” Fallon said. “Even after it is complete, Justice Department officials still plan to take the state-performed autopsy into account in the course of their investigation.” The Justice Department already had deepened its civil rights investigation into the shooting. Officials said a day earlier that 40 FBI agents were going door-to-door gathering information in the Ferguson, Missouri, neighbourhood where Brown, who was unarmed, was shot to death Aug. 9 in the street. David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor who supervised the criminal civil rights section of Miami’s U.S. Attorney’s office, said a federally conducted autopsy “more closely focused on entry point of projectiles, defensive wounds and bruises” might help that investigation, and that the move is “not that unusual.” He also said federal authorities also want to calm any public fears that no action will be taken on the case. President Barack Obama, who has been getting regular updates on the situation in Ferguson while on vacation, was to be briefed by Holder upon returning Monday to the White House. The Justice Department’s announcement followed the first night of a stateimposed curfew in Ferguson, which ended with tear gas and seven arrests after police dressed in riot gear used armoured vehicles to disperse defiant protesters. Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said protesters were not the reason for the escalated police reaction early Sunday after the midnight curfew took effect. He cited a report of people who had broken into a barbecue restaurant and taken to the roof, and a man who flashed a handgun in the street as armoured vehicles approached the crowd of protesters. At a Sunday afternoon rally, Johnson said he had met members of Brown’s family and the experience “brought tears to my eyes and shame to my heart.” “When this is over,” he told the crowd, “I’m going to go in my son’s room. My black son, who wears his pants sagging, who wears his hat cocked to the
side, got tattoos on his arms, but that’s my baby.” Johnson added: “We all need to thank the Browns for Michael. Because Michael’s going to make it better for our sons to be better black men.” The Rev. Al Sharpton told the rally Brown’s death was a “defining moment for this country.” Sharpton said he wants Congress to stop programs that provide militarystyle weaponry to police departments. He said he expects police to “smear” the slain teenager, his family and his attorneys. He also condemned the recent spate of violence and looting in Ferguson. As the sun began to set Sunday, the protests had a party-like atmosphere, with crowds lining the street in front of buildings that had been looted. Some people were barbequing outside the burned-out QuikTrip convenience store that was destroyed earlier in the week. The protests have been going on since Brown’s death heightened racial tensions between the predominantly black community and mostly white Ferguson Police Department, leading to several run-ins between police and protesters and prompting Missouri’s governor to put the state highway patrol in charge of security. Ferguson Police waited six days to publicly reveal the name of the officer and documents alleging Brown robbed a convenience store before he was killed. Police Chief Thomas Jackson said the officer did not know Brown was a suspect when he encountered him walking in the street with a friend. Gov. Jay Nixon, who imposed the curfew after declaring a state of emergency, said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he was not aware the police were going to release surveillance video from the store where Brown is alleged to have stolen a $49 box of cigars. “It’s appeared to cast aspersions on a young man that was gunned down in the street. It made emotions raw,” Nixon said. Police have said little about the encounter between Brown and the officer, except to say that it involved a scuffle in which the officer was injured and Brown was shot. Witnesses say the teenager had his hands in the air as the officer fired multiple rounds. “When you’re exhausted, when you’re out of resources, when you’re out of ammunition, you surrender,” Brown’s uncle, pastor Charles Ewing, told worshippers during a Sunday sermon at Jennings Mason Temple in Ferguson. “He surrendered, and yet he died.” The officer who shot Brown was identified as Darren Wilson, a six-year police veteran who had no previous complaints against him. Wilson has been on paid administrative leave since the shooting and the department has refused to say anything about his whereabouts.
border amid objections from Ukraine, which initially complained that the mission was not authorized by the International Committee for the Red Cross. The Red Cross, which would have responsibility for distributing the aid, on Saturday said the main holdup was a lack of security guarantees from all sides in the conflict. A large X-ray machine was brought to the Russian crossing point in the afternoon, and Paul Picard, the head of a border-monitoring mission from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said it would be used to inspect the cargo. The fate of the Russian aid convoy was one of the topics discussed by the

BRIEF Latest round of airstrikes against militants aimed at helping Iraqis reclaim Mosul dam EDGARTOWN, Mass. — The U.S. has expanded its air campaign in Iraq with attacks aimed at helping Iraqi forces regain control of the strategic Mosul dam. The White House said President Barack Obama notified Congress on Sunday that the widened mission would be limited in duration and scope. The administration’s letter to Congress said “the mission is consistent with the president’s directive that the U.S. military protect U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq, since the failure of the Mosul Dam could threaten the lives of large numbers of civilians and threaten U.S. personnel and facilities — including the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.” It also noted that the failure of the dam could “prevent the Iraqi government from providing critical services” to the Iraqi people. The letter said: “I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution.” White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the operations are being undertaken in co-ordination with and at the request of the government of Iraq. The latest round of U.S. airstrikes in Iraq against the Islamic State extremist group includes the first reported use of land-based bombers in the military campaign. Kurdish security officials say Kurdish forces, aided by U.S. and Iraqi airstrikes, have now taken over parts of the dam. Militants had captured control of the dam two weeks ago. The U.S. military says U.S. forces conducted nine strikes Saturday and another 16 on Sunday. The second round of strikes damaged or destroyed 10 armed vehicles, seven Humvees, two armoured personnel carriers and one checkpoint, the U.S. said.
Pope greets, consoles Korean ’comfort women’ used as sex slaves in WWII at end of Korea trip SEOUL, South Korea — Pope Francis has blessed and consoled a group of women who were used as sex slaves for the Japanese military during World War II. Francis greeted each of the seven women, most in wheelchairs, at the front of Seoul’s main cathedral Monday at the start of his final Mass for peace and reconciliation on the Korean peninsula. He was given a pin from one of them which he immediately pinned to his vestments and wore throughout the
foreign ministers of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France who met in Berlin late Sunday. German Foreign Minister FrankWalter-Steinmeier said after the fivehour meeting that “frank words” had been exchanged and he believed there had been progress “on some issues,” without elaborating. Before the talks he had expressed hope that the four countries’ top diplomats might find a way to revive the political process aimed at brokering a lasting ceasefire and credible controls at Ukraine’s eastern border with Russia. Fighting, including frequent shelling, is also affecting Donetsk, Ukraine’s main rebel-held city. Ten civilians have been killed and eight wounded in the past 24 hours, city authorities reported Sunday. The leader of the self-proclaimed separatist government in the Donetsk region, Alexander Zakharchenko, has boasted that his forces have been bolstered by 1,200 fighters who underwent training in Russia and were brought in at a “crucial moment.” In a video of his speech that was posted online over the weekend, he said the fighters have 150 armoured vehicles, including 30 tanks, and have gathered near a “corridor” along the Russian border. Zakharchenko did not specify whether the armoured vehicles had also come from Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, on Sunday denied that Russia had supplied any armoured vehicles to the separatists. Lysenko, the military spokesman, said the government had information that separatists had received reinforcement from Russia, but added that there is evidence rebels are complaining about not receiving some of the equipment they have been promised. Russia has consistently denied allegations that it is supporting the rebels with equipment or training. But Ukraine’s president on Friday said that Ukraine had destroyed a large number of military vehicles that had recently crossed from Russia. Mass. In an interview with The Associated Press ahead of the encounter, Lee Yong-soo, 86, said she hoped the meeting would provide some solace for the pain she and the other “comfort women” still feel more than seven decades after they were forced into sexual slavery.
88 schools in northern Mexico being kept closed because of mine’s acid spill into two rivers MEXICO CITY — Eighty-eight schools in a northern Mexico state will not open Monday along with the rest of the country because of the danger of water contaminated by the spill of 10 million gallons (40,000 cubic meters) of acids from a copper mine into two rivers this month. Sonora state civil protection director Carlos Arias said Sunday that the schools in the seven municipalities most affected by the Aug. 6 spill may be able to open in a week, once officials ensure safe drinking water for students. Officials have distributed more than 1 million gallons (4 million litres) of drinking water over the past week using tanker trucks, reaching 80 per cent to 90 per cent of people in the area. Arias said they had not yet reached people who live in isolated communities.
Three days of flooding in western Nepal leaves 54 people dead, 142 missing KATMANDU, Nepal — Flooding and landslides in western Nepal have killed at least 54 people and left 142 missing amid continuous rainfall over the past three days, officials said Saturday. Ten districts in the area have been flooded, with rescuers recovering 54 bodies, police official Kesh Bahadur Shahi said, adding that the death toll is expected to rise. It has been raining since Thursday in the region, about 400 kilometres (250 miles) west of the capital, Kathmandu. Highways and roads were either flooded or blocked by landslides in the districts, stopping rescuers from reaching remote villages. Power lines were snapped and communication towers were knocked down by the flooding, stranding thousands of people in the area. Shahi, who is co-ordinating the rescue efforts, said there were tens of thousands of people in the villages who could not be reached. Farmlands were washed away and houses were flooded, forcing people to flee to higher ground. The poor weather conditions were also making it difficult for rescue helicopters to reach the area. Trucks loaded with emergency supplies, food, tents and plastic sheets were being sent to the flooded area, but their reach was limited by the blocked roads, Shahi said.
