Deaths draw concerns REPORTS SAY FIVE FORMER MICHENER CENTRE RESIDENTS DIED SOON AFTER MOVING OUT OF FACILITY BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Calls to stop the closure of Michener Centre are ricocheting around Alberta after reports that five former Michener Centre residents died soon after moving out of the Red Deer facility. So far 43 residents have moved since the province announced its controversial decision in March 2013 to close older buildings on Michener’s north and

south sides, forcing the relocation of 120 of Michener’s severely developmentally disabled residents. The decision came as a shock to families who had long been promised that residents could live out their lives at Michener. According to the Society of Parents and Friends of Michener Centre, the five deaths occurred this year within two to four months of the residents leaving Michener. “There can be no question that shuffling around highly fragile individuals has created untold horror stories and declining health outcomes for residents,�

said Wildrose human services critic Kerry Towle, at a press conference at the Legislature on Thursday. “To be very clear, we are not saying the province caused these deaths at all. What we’re saying is that they didn’t need to be moved and the move itself was cruel, and cruel to the families.� Towle said Premier Dave Hancock has the power today to put an immediate end to moving Michener residents and to commit to keeping the facility open.

DECEASED ARTIST BRONSON WILSON’S WORK IS ALL OVER RED DEER, BUT WHAT SOME CONSIDER ART OTHERS CONSIDER VANDALISM BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Bronson Wilson’s supporters say he provided beautiful, thought-provoking street art free-of-charge to anyone passing through the streets and alleys of Red Deer. But what was considered intriguing art by some people was obviously unwanted graffiti to others. Most stencilled images that Wilson spray-painted onto public and private property in Red Deer were painted over or wiped out over the last few years. Now nearly all of his street art is gone, and so, sadly, is the young artist. Wilson died of cancer at the age of 27 on May 31, leaving friends and family members lobbying to save his few remaining works from being removed by graffiti removal volunteers from the Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre. Considering the huge public reaction to preserving the artist’s works (some 866 likes were added to a Facebook page as of Thursday), Sydney Schur, a friend of the late Wilson, said centre staff have been co-operative. The non-profit centre’s executive-director TerryLee Ropchan pledged to leave his few remaining street artworks out of Thursday’s graffiti abatement campaign. She said this will give supporters time to figure out how to purchase images Wilson created on

the covers of public utility boxes and garbage dumpsters — which is the only way to ensure their survival for posterity. For the two years that Ropchan’s group has been targeting graffiti that crops up on buildings, bridges, etc, she said Wilson’s detailed work was always recognized as something special and not removed. This week, centre volunteers were even given photos of Wilson’s stencilled images to ensure they weren’t touched because of sensitivity surrounding the artist’s death. “This has never been about removing art,� said Ropchan. But the fact is, most of Wilson’s street art has been obliterated. Either private property owners, city public works staffers, or other city residents fed up with graffiti must have viewed it as just another act of vandalism. All art, of course, is subjective. But this situation begs the question: Where does the boundary lie between street art and graffiti? Now that guerilla artists such as the U.K.’s famed Banksy are seeing their satirical stencil works sell for thousands of dollars, is it time Red Deer recognized the value of its own street art? Or is any image, no matter how artistic, fair game for removal if it just pops up on private or public property?

A2 RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Aug. 22, 2014

STORY FROM PAGE A1 “It’s sad that a lot of people don’t differentiate (street art) from tagging,” said Drew Vanson, who believes Wilson’s work “is definitely art. I think people should leave it alone and not kill it.” Jesse Gleeson, was a good friend of the late artist, who was also a talented musician and athlete, and sees an obvious difference between somebody scrawling random tags or obscenities on public property and someone like Wilson. He spent days composing an image, picking colours and creating intricate templates. Gleeson recalled his buddy taking great pains to cut out the fine shapes of his stencils. Wilson would sometimes add messages to his images, such as “Preserve Arts and Culture” or “The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance” — a quote from Aristotle. “Bronson didn’t just show up and do some graffiti, his stuff was pre-planned. He picked a spot for his faces and people,” said Schur, who works at Dose Coffee, which commissioned Wilson to decorate a side door of the downtown Red Deer business. While the young artist did create some of these art-on-demand on canvases or boards, he loved street art best, with its controversial guerilla aspect. Like Banksy, he purposely did not seek anyone’s permission before showing up at night to paint on something that was not his property. Some of the last vestiges of Wilson’s street art decorate a garbage dumpster behind The Source Skate and Snowboard shop that Vanson manages in Gasoline Alley. Vanson just arrived for work one morning and noticed the stencilled image of a young woman exhaling her breath on the metal garbage bin outside the shop. “He just did it one night and I really liked it,” said Vanson, who noticed Wilson later returned to spraypaint other portraits on the same dumpster. Like most of his images, they show humanity in people of different ethnicities, ages and genders. His mother, Cori Wilson, believes her late son was mindful of not defacing buildings. She said he preferred to decorate ugly things, such utility boxes and garbage receptacles. “He provided art for free, without seeking recognition . . . It blows my mind that this wasn’t seen as a gift,” said Cori, who added “where else can someone give you public art — no strings attached?” Gleeson believes Wilson made art wherever he felt like it — often in places where people least expected to see it. “His art made people stop and look,” often doing a double-take in alleyways and backstreet crannies. Perhaps, this was Wilson’s way of pushing the envelope in the manner artists throughout the centuries have made society see things from a different perspective, suggested Gleeson. Wilson, who studied cultural anthropology and had worked in the oilfield service industry, is mostly remembered as someone who liked being part of the underground street art scene. “He just enjoyed it. He never did it for any other reason,” added Gleeson, who believes Wilson’s art holds universal appeal. “People can appreciate it for different reasons.” Of course, some people didn’t appreciate it — or at least, they didn’t appreciate where the art was

done. Desirée Marshall, a former classmate of the artist’s at Lindsay Thurber high school, loved Wilson’s work (she commissioned him to paint a large mural in the Slumland Theatre concert venue she runs on Ross Street in 2012), but she also understands the grey area that exists between street art and graffiti. As a business owner, Marshall said she can’t condone putting any art on private property without the owner’s permission because she knows that many people will perceive it as vandalism. In her opinion, the acceptability of street art comes down to tastefulness and skill. “You don’t want something that can be perceived as trashy,” said Marshall, who believes Wilson’s images were the opposite of that. His intricate portraits went well beyond the level of most street art, said Pat Matheson, the City of Red Deer’s public art co-ordinator, who believes Wilson considerably “raised the bar.” For this reason, Matheson hopes his remaining works can be preserved or even donated to the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery. “I told (supporters) if they will have to negotiate with the individual property owners,” or businesses such as Telus, which owns the electrical boxes, said Matheson. But as for the larger conundrum surrounding street art and graffiti, Matheson remains as perplexed as anybody about what the answer is. Some cities have tried sanctioning spaces where graffiti can legally be spray-painted. But not only does this run contrary to the surprise agenda of street artists, he said some municipalities found vandalism and property defacement spread from these approved areas onto neighbouring properties. “If you provide a sanctioned area, it can still get out of control. . . so it’s a tough one . . . ” Meanwhile, Wilson, who sought no fame or recognition during his lifetime, has been memorialized in a mural painted by another local artist behind the

John Howard Society building on Ross Street. And his fan base continues to grow. One of the late artist’s admirers is Tiffany Blood. Although she never knew Wilson personally, the server at Fratters Speakeasy is protective of an enigmatic image Wilson created on an electrical panel outside the club. It resembles a woman in a burka, who speaks not with her mouth, but her eyes. “I’ve taken pictures of his art whenever I’ve seen it around the city,” said Blood. “I think it’s beautiful.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Jim Prentice promises political term limits

FLOWER SHOW

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Golden Circle played host again this year to the Red Deer and District Garden Club annual flower and garden show. Here Ruth Grande of Red Deer looks over the Dahlias entered in the show Thursday afternoon. ‚I’m just overwhelmed, said Grande, It makes me want to be a better gardeners she said.

MICHENER: Regular check-ins In a statement released on Thursday, Associate Minister for Persons with Disabilities Naresh Bhardwaj expressed condolences to families who are grieving and said if anyone has any evidence to suggest the needs of a former Michener resident are not being met, or that a death was caused by a transition to another care setting, they are asked to speak with the appropriate authorities. “We have every confidence in the care providers and medical professionals who ensure individuals receive equal or better care than what they had while at Michener. We do regular follow-ups and check-ins with every individual who has moved into the community to ensure their needs are being met and that any concerns are addressed immediately,” Bhardwaj said. In Calgary, Alberta Liberal Human Services critic David Swann also demanded suspension of further transfers of Michener residents until the conclusion of a proper investigation into the five deaths. In a released statement, Swann said the Progressive Conservative government has never presented a solid case for closing Michener. “They have presented no facts or evidence to demonstrate that transferring residents from Michener into

care homes is in the best interests of these vulnerable Albertans. These five deaths suggest very powerfully that this government may be very tragically wrong in its decision,” Swann said. “It is time to halt all further transfers of Michener residents so that a thorough investigation into these five deaths can be conducted. It would be deeply irresponsible for this PC government to continue with these transfers until we have the full facts,” Swann said. NDP health critic David Eggen, who spoke out from Edmonton, said the moves appear to be too much for residents. “It seems like (five deaths) is an unacceptably high number. We consider it very important to pause the transfers and investigate the affect of them on patients’ health. I think that’s an imminently reasonable, responsible thing to do,” Eggen said. Moving fragile individuals can worsen conditions, he said. “It’s just putting two and two together here.” Towle said the uncertainty of the PC leadership contest has created a vacuum in leadership throughout the government “paralyzing our current leaders to act.” “The current Human Services Minister Manmeet Bhullar, who is also the campaign chair for (Jim) Prentice’s leadership campaign, has an opportunity to show a basic sense of compassion for Michener residents and their families. But both himself and Mr. Prentice, refuse to take action and do the right thing,” Towle said. Bill Lough. president of the Society

of Parents and Friends of Michener Centre, said the society to meet with Bhullar about the five deaths. “He is ultimately responsible for what happens under his watch,” Lough said. He said if the society had not spoken up about the deaths, Albertans would be in the dark. “I don’t think you have to be a rocket scientist to connect the dots here. “Yes they do die (at Michener) but at least they die in a home that they know and have been familiar with for decades and surrounded by people who understand them and give them support and dignity in their last days.” He said the society is also growing impatient waiting for Prentice to meet with them. “We are having as much trouble to communicate with this man as we did with Redford. To date, he has managed to match the Redford record of not visiting Michener.” And they aren’t going to just accept his promise to review the closure if he becomes premier, he said. “We want a position in respect to Michener.” Diane Esslinger, who is the guardian of her brother Larry who still lives at Michener, said she is appalled by the five deaths. “I have a sinking feeling in my stom-

ach. I don’t know how much longer my brother will be alive,” Esslinger said. Larry is 52 and has lived at Michener for 50 years. “Larry is very fragile. He has quite a host of medical problems. In the last couple of years his health has declined. I truly believe that the only reason he is alive and with us today is because of the exemplary care and the love and the kindness of the people who care for him now at Michener,” said Esslinger who spoke at the Wildrose press conference. Larry was born with cerebral palsy and micro-cephalis. He doesn’t talk, has profound cognitive impairment, is severely spastic in all four limbs, and has a seizure disorder that requires him to be fed by a tube. “There is no date scheduled for Larry to move out at this point because I’m refusing to engage in that conversation. Larry’s home is at Michener and he needs to remain at Michener. “Michener Centre needs to remain open for the people who currently live there and those who have left and who wish to return need to be able to have the option to return,” Esslinger said. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

STORY FROM PAGE A1

EDMONTON — Term limits on politicians are a needed part of an overall package of reforms to improve transparency and accountability in government, says Alberta Tory leadership hopeful Jim Prentice. “It should involve turnover in our political system, bringing new people, renewal into our political system. Things like term limits, these will all form part of an accountability act,” Prentice said at one of the last all-candidate debates in the campaign Thursday night. Speaking to reporters after the debate, Prentice said two terms for premiers and three for legislature members — limits that would be a first in Canada — would ensure a steady stream of fresh faces in government. We want see more new young faces brought into politics. I hear a great deal of support for it.” Prentice pointed out that appointees to provincial boards are currently limited to six years. “If six years is the appropriate time for people to take on positions of public responsibility, why is it not appropriate for people that elect them to have term limits?”

Undecided on Michener IT MAKES SENSE TO WAIT BEFORE DECIDING ON CENTRE’S FUTURE – BUT NOT FOR LONG Of the candidates campaigning to become leader of the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party and our next premier, Jim Prentice happens to be the only one who makes sense on the issue of what’s to become of Michener Centre. He says he’s undecided. When you think about GREG it, until a juNEIMAN dicial review is completed in November, any position on the government’s earlier decision to close the place is moot. But as the months have passed since last year’s announcement that the remaining severely handicapped residents (at first reported to be 125) would be moved to new homes, the situation becomes more of a fait accompli than a policy point. Since then, in consultation with families and guardians, some residents have been moved to new homes. This week, at least one more resident was scheduled to move to a group home

INSIGHT

outside of Red Deer, to live closer to relatives. Prentice says he wants to make a private tour of the remaining residences and talk to families affected by potential moves, and then determine what he’d do going forward, if he’s elected premier. A good choice, even if not deciding is a sort of decision. Let’s look at what happens when an unsupportable decision gets made. Fellow leadership candidate Ric McIver said last week that he would cancel the plan to close Michener. More, he would give those who have already moved out the opportunity to return. This, he says, fulfils a government promise made years ago that all residents whose families and guardians wished them to stay in their known and comfortable environments, could stay. In every discussion we must note the people we are talking about are aging, frail and at risk of some level of personal trauma when big changes are made in their lives. The second part of his promise makes no sense. The moves made so far were negotiated, planned and made at no small cost. They were agreed moves. What is gained by going through that process twice? The first part is not supportable for the long term, either. No government

can keep a 300-acre twin campus facility open indefinitely in the centre of a city, for 125 people. The buildings are generations old and must cost hundreds of thousands a year just to sit there. It’s not good stewardship of that land. That sounds cruel. Perhaps it would be kinder to spend $10 million or $20 million to build new, proper housing consolidating these residents elsewhere, so the white elephant of the vast majority of the centre could be shut down. If that’s so, is it really different than moving people to existing care spaces, probably closer to families? Candidate Thomas Lukaszuk would keep Michener as it is for current residents, and possibly even expand its scope as housing for people with disabilities, mental health issues and others. Has this idea been considered and costed out? Yes, it has. That’s why the decision to close Michener was made in the first place. We don’t institutionalize people anymore. And if we did, it would be in better facilities than exist now at Michener Centre. If Michener must close, Lukaszuk says current residents could stay, up to a reasonable point. Managers who Albertans pay six-figure salaries to decide that “reasonable point” have already done so.

That doesn’t mean the managers are automatically right. But someone has to study things and make recommendations. The work of these professionals should not be summarily dropped as part of an election campaign. So, not deciding a policy point on Michener Centre’s future right now looks like a pretty good idea. I don’t want to suggest the “reasonable point” at which housing these frail people in our care, on 300 acres of land in the city, is no longer reasonable. Is it 50? Or 20? Just one? That’s why governments pay big dollars for professional managers. In November, the courts will decide if the government was out of line in breaking a solemn promise to families of severely disabled people that their loved ones would be cared for at Michener for the rest of their lives. Meanwhile, one at a time, some people are being moved to new quarters, with the agreement of their families and guardians. However cold and uncaring things may seem to be now, sitting back and waiting for the passage of time to decide for us — is that really the best plan we’ve got?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

City taxes simply wasted I don’t share the opinion that the City of Red Deer puts taxes to good use (City taxes put to good use, letter to the editor by Terry and Maria Boase). The city hasn’t even figured out that snow has to be cleared and there is talk of a $90-million pool being added to the city on top of the three existing aquatic centres. Snow is left to fall, settle, freeze into an uneven icy terrain that Red Deerians are then stuck driving on — or just plain stuck. Since I have lived here the city took out an entire lane and parking zone downtown to add a grassy knoll and pretty boulevard. Apparently its all about appearances. The piano in the Ross Street downtown patio — formerly a street beside parking spaces — is painted with a graffiti design and horribly out of tune. Pianos were not meant to be moved incessantly nor to be exposed to the elements. Go Red Deer! Any instrument exposed to moisture, dust, heat, and cold (extreme temperatures) will suffer damage as a result. Any musician knows that. Now the city wants to keep the Ross Street Patio open in -40C weather on streets they don’t maintain. How would anybody dumb enough to attend navigate the freshly fallen snow still on the ground from last week? (Sorry I can’t make it.) The city cannot combat nature’s basics — and refuses to pay damages to someone’s vehicle when it is a direct result of their negligence — but lets put the funds into a pool we don’t need and a patio full of weathered instruments. And what about chickens in town — their feces leeching into our soil and possibly water system? Do they think of that? Or the extra wear and tear (literally) on overtaxed properties? I wish they had given licences to raise donkeys in our backyards instead of chickens ... that way the jackasses in City Hall would have the support they need. They certainly don’t have mine!

A solution for Gaza Re: Gaza dispute will linger, Red Deer Advocate, Aug. 1 There is, sadly, a lack of condemnation from most of our elected politicians regarding the slaughter of over 2,000 people in Gaza, including 400 children and 50 Israeli soldiers. Gwynne Dyer explains that the reasons for the present invasion by Israel are more complex than just the firing of rockets by Hamas, which should be totally condemned because it kills innocent Israeli citizens. The firing of rockets out of frustration is counterproductive for the population of Gaza because it alienates the Israeli people and gives the rulers of Israel an excuse to launch cruel and collective punishment. The government of Israel, caught up in the world financial crisis, has been busily dishing out austerity measures and Israeli workers, who make up the bulk of the population, have met these measures with huge opposition. The Netanyahu government is attempting to divert attention from the immense economic and social conditions that are building up in Israel, toward conflict with the Palestinians. The people of Israel are not, however, homoge-

neous in their support for punitive action against the Palestinians. This is demonstrated by the growing support in recent polls for two political parties that are on the left, the Labour Party and the Meretz Party. The polls also indicate that a majority in Israel is in favour of dismantling the settlements and bringing an end to the occupation of Palestinian land. It is plain for all to see that the continuation of the present right-wing Israeli regime will result in an ever-expanding occupation that will not cease. Without profound change the plight of the Palestinians can only get worse. The Arab Spring revolutions in North Africa resulted in much dissatisfaction among the Palestinian population toward the Hamas and Fatah leaderships. This is because there is no sign that the living nightmare will ever end. Peace and stability can only be achieved on the basis of unity of the oppressed on both sides. The overwhelming majority in Palestine are the poor and impoverished. They should seek an alliance with the workers of Israel in order to fight for democratic rights and decent living conditions. The only way forward is a federation of an independent, democratic, socialist Israel and an independent, democratic, socialist, Palestine. Keith Norman Wyatt Innisfail

in your own garbage (for free) because unless there is paint in them there cans, it’s all considered household garbage!” Believing I had made a mistake, upon returning from my fruitless 15-km round trip to the dump, I reread the website. “Keep household hazardous products out of the waste stream by taking them to the landfill’s FREE year round dropoff depot. Household hazardous waste collected is recycled or safely disposed of.” Alas, I didn’t read it wrong and the list of household hazardous products clearly included paints, thinners and aerosol cans. Since moving to Red Deer two years ago, I’ve struggled with the pathetic plastic recycling program that only includes No. 2 plastics, as No. 2s make up such a paltry amount of total plastic waste. But I kept reminding myself that you’ve been spoiled coming from Edmonton, the No. 1 municipality in North America for recycle and reuse. You should be happy that there is some recycling happening and that there is proper disposal of hazardous household wastes. I tempered my disappointment further with the fact that if I’d moved to Calgary, it would be even worse. But to have my paint products, including empty aerosol paint cans, deemed household garbage led me to conclude: Red Deer’s waste management site (aka the dump), doesn’t give a rip about household hazardous wastes being safety disposed of. Bagging these items to throw out on the curb on garbage day is quite repulsive. Obviously runny paint left in cans can be recycled for money. But to dispose of dried up paint cans in an environmentally-friendly fashion, well, that just costs too much darn money. And yes, I would like to have used a more colourful word! B.P.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WHITEHORSE — Stephen Harper is drawing parallels between the Islamist militants who have seized a swath of territory across Iraq and Syria and the Taliban insurgents who controlled much of Afghanistan before the U.S.led invasion. The prime minister said Thursday he’s been appalled by the recent violence, notably the beheading of American journalist James Foley by the alQaida splinter group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. “This is not unlike the situation that we had in Afghanistan prior to 2002,” Harper said during a stop in Whitehorse, Yukon, on the first full day of his annual northern tour. “Essentially you had a terrorist group establishing control of a large territory, essentially establishing a form of governance, and potentially using that to become a haven and a training ground for terrorism not just in the region, but across the world. “And that, obviously, is a very big concern for all of us.” Harper said he agrees with U.S.

President Barack Obama and others that the actions of ISIL cannot go unchecked. “The violence — really, just unspeakable barbarism — that is occurring now across a vast territory, the desire to essentially commit genocide against any group of people in the region who are different, these are shocking developments.” Two of Canada’s military cargo planes will be shuttling weapons to Kurdish forces in northern Iraq as part of a multinational effort to fight the militants. Earlier in the day, Harper revealed plans for a multimillion-dollar Arcticfocused National Research Council program to explore resource development, transportation and shipping, marine safety technologies and community infrastructure. The federal government is spending $17 million on the program over eight years, and will be seeking another $65 million in co-investments from industry over that same time period. Harper, who made the announcement after a tour of Yukon College, said the program will help bridge the gap between laboratory research and the marketplace.

MIDDLE EAST RESPIRATORY SYNDROME

TORONTO — Scientists working to solve the mysteries of the MERS coronavirus have finally filled a gaping hole — with a very tiny animal. U.S. researchers have reported that marmosets are a good animal model for the infection, suffering from the same symptoms humans do when they contract the Middle East respiratory syndrome virus. The researchers reported their work Thursday in the journal PLoS Pathogens. (PLoS is short for Public Library of Science.) “At the moment it’s the best disease model that we have for MERS,” one of the senior authors, Dr. Heinz Feldmann, said in an interview. Animal models are crucial in research, helping scientists tease out how diseases attack the body and chart the damage they do. They are also critical in efforts to develop drugs or treatments for disease, which must be tried on animals before they are tested in people. But in order for an animal model to work, the animal in question must experience the same type of illness as humans do. And that has been a problem with the MERS virus. Though it is known the virus infects camels — and they probably infect people — the dromedaries don’t get noticeably sick when they are infected. Even if they did, the animals are too large to work with easily in high containment laboratories. Rhesus macaques can be infected with the virus, but they don’t experience the severe disease people get. Hamsters and ferrets, which are commonly used in animal studies, also don’t work for MERS. Researchers at the University of Iowa and elsewhere have been working on developing a mouse model for the disease. But work reported earlier this year suggested the first effort also experienced a similar problem; the mice didn’t become sick or lose weight. Now scientists from the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’s facility in Hamil-

ton, Mont., say their work with marmosets show the tiny primates do develop illness that mirrors what is seen in humans infected with MERS. Still, Feldmann — who runs a virology lab at the Hamilton facility — acknowledged there are things about marmosets that make them less than ideal as an animal model. For one thing, the animals are hard to come by. During the time the lab was doing this research, the price per animal doubled to $5,000. And the primates — which weigh between 250 and 500 grams, on average — are so small the techniques normally used to anesthetize animals before inoculating them don’t work. “They’re a little bit ... I wouldn’t say dangerous, but they’re a little bit tricky to handle in high containment because you ... basically have to catch them unanesthetized. But that’s all workable,” Feldmann said. Their small size means as well that it’s not feasible to take multiple blood samples, which can be done with a larger animal. As a result, the research team is suggesting that scientists trying to develop MERS vaccines — work which requires repeated blood analyses — continue to use the rhesus monkeys. “We’re proposing this model for antivirals and drug treatment studies, but the vaccine studies we think are better in the rhesus macaque model because you don’t have the issue with the multiple blood samples, which you need,” Feldmann said. Meanwhile, work continues on other options. Next up are pigs, which the group believes will be both a good model for human disease and much cheaper than marmosets. Since the MERS virus was first discovered in 2012 there have been about 850 cases diagnosed and more than 300 people have died from the disease. All cases have either occurred in or had links to several Middle Eastern countries.

the best way to deal with crimes involving missing and murdered aboriginal women. The death of a 15-year-old aboriginal girl found wrapped in a bag and dumped in the Red River has prompted renewed calls for a national inquiry. Tina Fontaine had been in Winnipeg less than a month when she ran away from foster care. Her body was discovered Sunday in the river and police are treating her death as a homicide. But Harper, who is in Whitehorse as part of his yearly trek to the North, says most such cases are addressed — and solved — by the police. He says it’s important to keep in mind that these are crimes. “We should not view this as sociological phenomenon,” the prime minister told a news conference Thursday. “We should view it as crime. It is crime against innocent people, and it needs to be addressed as such.” The Conservative government has rejected all calls for a national inquiry into murdered and missing aboriginal women, saying it prefers to address the issue in other ways, such as through aboriginal justice programs and a national DNA missing person’s index. In May, the RCMP issued a detailed statistical breakdown of 1,181 cases since 1980. The report said aboriginal women make up 4.3 per cent of the Canadian population, but account for 16 per cent of female homicides and 11.3 per cent of missing women. “As the RCMP has said itself in its own study, the vast majority of these cases are addressed and are solved through police investigations, and we’ll leave it in their hands,” Harper said.

Man charged with murder after father, adult son found slain in P.E.I. MONTAGUE, P.E.I. — A 46-year-old man has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of a man and his adult son at a home in rural Prince Edward Island. An RCMP news release said Alfred Guy Vuozzo was brought before a justice of the peace in Georgetown provincial court on Thursday evening, after being arrested earlier in the day without incident. He has been remanded into custody until a court appearance scheduled for next week. The Mounties say the father and his adult son were found dead Wednesday around 9:15 p.m. inside a residence on St. Mary’s Road south of Montague in Kings County.

RCMP, military spend millions on weeding out illicit marijuana harvest BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The RCMP and Canadian military have spent nearly $11.5 million in the last eight years on a national search-and-destroy mission for illicit marijuana crops. Federal figures show the annual Mountie-led effort, known as Operation Sabot, has led to tens of thousands of pot plants being weeded out each year. Liberal defence critic Joyce Murray, who uncovered the data, said she was “stunned” to see the amount spent on the project — especially when many are calling the war on drugs a failure. The RCMP says the goal is to target outdoor marijuana growers and reduce the supply of pot available in Canadian communities. “The success of Operation Sabot means that less marijuana is available for sale in our communities,” said RCMP Sgt. Greg Cox, a spokesman for the national police force. “These drugs could ultimately have been sold to youth and adults alike, and the profits used to finance organized crime.” Last year the military spent more than $361,000 on helicopter support for the operation, which resulted in eradication of over 40,600 plants. The military put more than $2.5 million toward the project in 2009 — the highest annual tally among the figures disclosed to Murray through a parliamentary order paper question. That year 145,480 plants were destroyed. Operation Sabot has taken place annually since 1989, according to information on the Defence Department website. However, the numbers tabled in Parliament date only from 2006. Over the years, as many as seven Armed Forces helicopters, three ground vehicles and 60 military personnel have helped with the operation. The total cost of well over $11.4 million for 2006 through 2013 includes only military air support. Other military and RCMP expenditures could not be easily calculated. The Defence Department indicates that efforts focused on Ontario and Quebec last year. Cox declined to say when — or in which provinces — this year’s operation would take place. But he said the Mounties remain committed to working with the military on the anti-pot mission. Murray questioned the exercise’s value, arguing the best way to tame the criminal marijuana trade is government regulation of the drug, as two American states — Colorado and Washington — have done. “I think it’s inevitable we’ll go that direction,” she said in an interview. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has advocated legalizing marijuana, placing it under government regulation, as a means of safely controlling access to the drug. The Conservative government says it has no intention of decriminalizing marijuana. However, Justice Minister Peter MacKay said this week the government is still assessing whether to allow police to ticket people caught with small amounts of pot instead of pursuing charges. The fact the Tories are pondering the option is telling, Murray said. “I think that they’re also recognizing that prohibition just hasn’t worked.”

Israel steps up campaign against Hamas

Netanyahu praised the Shin Bet security service and its “superior intelligence” for the strike. The killing of the Hamas leaders was bound to buy him some time as Israel’s public grows impatient with the government’s inability to halt rocket fire from Gaza. Israeli media said Netanyahu and Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon authorized the strike on the Hamas commanders in the four-story building in the Tel Sultan neighbourhood of Rafah.

KIEV, Ukraine — Fierce fighting raged in eastern Ukraine on Thursday in what appeared to be a lastgasp attempt by government troops to snatch back territory from pro-Russian separatists before the arrival of a Russian aid convoy overseen by the Red Cross. Trucks loaded with water, generators and sleeping bags for desperate civilians in the besieged city of Luhansk began moving through Ukrainian customs after being held up at the border for a week, in part because of safety concerns and Ukrainian fears that the convoy’s arrival could halt the military’s advance. The trucks in the 200-vehicle convoy were expected to cross into Ukraine on Friday morning on their way to Luhansk, a city with a war-reduced population of a quarter-million people, 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the Russian border. At Russia’s urging, UN Secretary-General Ban Kimoon called for a cease-fire during the humanitarian mission. The Red Cross has said it needs assurances of safe passage from all sides to bring in the supplies and set up distribution points, so even without a formal cease-fire, Ukrainian government forces could be severely constrained in their movements once the trucks begin arriving. Ukrainian troops have made significant advances into rebel-held territory this week in a conflict that has claimed more than 2,000 lives and forced over 340,000 people to flee their homes. Ukraine celebrates Independence Day on Sunday, and there are widespread suspicions the government is anxious for a breakthrough by then. Looking for a diplomatic solution to the crisis, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko will meet on Saturday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has acted as a mediator, and will sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Minsk, Belarus, early next week. “We are going to Minsk to talk about peace,” Poroshenko said in a statement. “The whole world is tired of war.” Poroshenko stopped short of saying whether he still insists on the rebels’ unconditional surrender. Ukraine has accused Russia of arming and supporting the separatists since the fighting began in mid-April, a charge Russia denies. Meanwhile, five troops were killed and two civilians died over a 24-hour period in rebel-held areas, authorities said. That followed over 50 deaths on Wednesday. Troops fought separatists in and around Ilovaysk near the rebel-held city of Donetsk, and at least two people were killed and an unspecified number wounded in an artillery strike on a Donetsk suburb, authorities said. Once home to 1 million, Donetsk, the largest city still held by the rebels, has seen one-third of its population flee since the spring.

GAZA, Gaza Strip — Israel stepped up its campaign against Gaza’s ruling Hamas on Thursday, killing three of the group’s senior military commanders in an airstrike that pulverized a four-story home, the second such attack targeting top leaders in two days. The pinpoint pre-dawn attack on Hamas’ inner sanctum was launched minutes after the men emerged from tunnel hideouts, a security official said — displaying the long reach of Israel’s intelligence services. The killing of the commanders, who played a key role in expanding Hamas’ military capabilities in recent years, was bound to lower morale in the secretive group, but might not necessarily diminish its ability to fire rockets at Israel. Thursday’s strike in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, coupled with a Cabinet decision to call up 10,000 more reserve soldiers, signalled an escalation in the Israel-Hamas war after Egyptian cease-fire efforts collapsed this week. Since July 8, fighting has claimed more than 2,000 Palestinian lives, most of them civilians, according to Palestinian officials and the U.N., and entire neighbourhoods of Gaza have been destroyed. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers, two Israeli civilians and a guest worker also have been killed. Meanwhile, a senior Hamas leader in exile admitted that Hamas was behind the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli teens in the West Bank — the group’s first claim of responsibility for the June attack that triggered an Israeli crackdown and eventually led to the Gaza war. Saleh Arouri told an international conference of Islamic scholars in Turkey on Wednesday that Hamas grabbed the teens in hopes of sparking a Palestinian uprising in the West Bank. This week’s resumption of Gaza fighting came after several failed rounds of indirect talks of Israel and Hamas in Cairo. Egyptian mediators had proposed that in exchange for quiet on the Israel-Gaza border, Israel gradually ease a border blockade it had imposed on Gaza, alongside Egypt, after Hamas seized the territory in 2007. Hamas rejected the proposal, saying Israel didn’t offer anything specific. In an apparent attempt to revive diplomacy, Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas held talks in Qatar on Thursday with his main Palestinian rival Khaled Mashaal, the top Hamas leader in exile. Abbas lost control of Gaza in the Hamas takeover seven years ago, but several months ago signed a reconciliation deal with Hamas that was to give

him a new foothold in the territory. During the Cairo talks, Abbas confidants in a joint delegation with Hamas had urged the Islamic militants to accept the Egyptian offer, without success. Some in the Abbas camp had pointed fingers at Mashaal and his host and backer, Qatar. Abbas was to head to Cairo for toplevel meetings Friday. At the United Nations, three European countries — Britain, Germany and France — were working on a Security Council resolution calling for a Gaza cease-fire and international monitoring to ensure implantation, said a U.N. diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss sensitive deliberations. The European resolution would also include a European offer to take charge of Gaza’s border crossings, along with a deployment there of security forces loyal to Abbas. Since the breakdown of the Cairo talks late Tuesday, accompanied by the violation of a temporary cease-fire by Gaza militants, cross-border violence has continued at a steady pace. On Thursday, more than 100 rockets were fired from Gaza, while Israel carried out some 50 airstrikes, the Israeli military said. In all, at least 26 Palestinians were killed Thursday, among them six children, bringing the death toll since July 8 to 2,086, according to Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra. Nearly a quarter of the dead — 469— are children, according to the top UNICEF field officer in Gaza, Pernilla Ironside. Of the more than 10,400 Palestinians wounded, nearly a third were children, according to UNICEF figures, while some 100,000 Gazans have been left homeless. In southern Israel, a man was seriously hurt Thursday, when a mortar shell fired from Gaza exploded outside a kindergarten and shrapnel flew through a window as he celebrated his son’s third birthday. In Gaza, one of those pulled from the rubble Thursday was Sara Deif, the 5-year-old daughter of Mohammed Deif, the top Hamas military leader who was apparently the target of an airstrike on a three-story home in Gaza City late Tuesday. Deif’s wife and infant son were also killed in the attack. Hamas said Deif, who has survived four previous attempts on his life, some with serious injuries, was not in the area at the time of the strike. Israel has declined comment on Deif’s possible fate. After Thursday’s airstrike in Rafah, the Hamas military wing, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, announced that three senior commanders, Mohammed Abu Shamaleh, Raed Attar and Mohammed Barhoum had been killed. Several hours later, thousands

Looking forward to being a leader BRETT COTE IS HOPING TO HAVE A SOLID SEASON WITH THE REBELS IN LAST WHL CAMPAIGN BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR If Brett Cote is saving his best for last, the Red Deer Rebels could still win the May trade that brought the 20-yearold defenceman to the WHL’s Eastern Conference club. “Last season our team did really well. We had a really good team in Victoria but I thought I kind of didn’t have my best year,” the former Victoria Royals rearguard said Thursday, following a main camp practice during the opening sessions of the Rebels training camp at the Enmax Centrium. “But I get another crack at it and hopefully I can help this team.” Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter, fully aware that he had to upgrade his back end particularly in regards to mobility and puck movement, coughed up a second-round pick in this year’s bantam draft for Cote, a Royals veteran.

“I was a little shocked. I spent three years in Victoria and it was tough to leave such a good situation,” said the six-foot, 207-pound Brett Cote native of Oakbank, Man. “But I’m glad to be here in another great situation. It’s nice to feel wanted. There’s not many 20-year-olds here and I’m just glad to be one of them.” Cote, who joins fellow blueliner Devan Fafard and forward Brooks Maxwell as the three overage players in camp, clearly has some offensive abilities as evidenced by the six goals and 28 points he garnered last season. His numbers — eight goals and 41 points — were even better in the 2012-13 season. “I’d say I’m a two-way defenceman. I’m not completely

offensive, but I’m (also) not a liability defensively,” he said. Cote will use his final WHL season to hopefully advance his game to the point that he can land a pro contract next year. He’ll certainly get every chance to showcase his skills with the Rebels. “I’m looking forward to being one of the older guys and a leader here. I’ll try and play in every situation and be the best I can,” he said. Sutter is confident Cote can be a top-four and even a toppairing defenceman with the Rebels. “He’s excited about being here. He’s been through some good playoff series and as a 20-year-old we expect leadership from him both off and on the ice,” said the Rebels boss. “He’s a good player, a real solid guy who’s good on the power play . . . he moves the puck well. He doesn’t go out of his way to make hits, but he’s not a shy guy. He’s just a real solid player and that’s going to be huge for us.” While Cote has no qualms

about delivering a thump here and there, he racked up only 42 penalty minutes last winter and 35 the season before. “He’s a disciplined player. He knows how to play the game,” said Sutter. Perhaps most importantly, Cote is capable of head-manning the puck to his forwards. “That’s what we wanted. That was something we wanted to improve on,” said Sutter. “We also want guys who are going to be real solid for us, who won’t shy away when things get tough or throw pucks away when they’re under pressure.” • Defenceman Josh Mahura was nothing short of dominant during the first two rookie camp sessions, rushing the puck with aplomb and getting back in time to take care of his defensive duties. Other players who were front and centre included forwards Austin Pratt of Lakeville, Minn., and Jake Leschyshyn of Grasswood, Sask., both 15. “Those are top players. You

expect them to stand out,” said Sutter, who admitted he was particularly impressed with 16-year-old Mahura, the club’s second-round pick in the 2013 bantam draft and a virtual lock to play full time with the Rebels this season. “No question, Josh is just a really, really good player and he’s got some bite to his game.” Mahura, a St. Albert native who last winter played at the Okanagan Hockey Academy, appears to be a star in the making. He scored the winning goal for Team Burgundy in a 2-1 defeat of Team Grey in the morning session and was again the best player on the ice during the afternoon scrimmage. Drayson Skulmoski of Moosomin, Sask., a camp invitee, scored the other Team Burgundy goal Thursday morning. Bronson Littlechilds of Edmonton, another invited player, notched the lone Team Grey.

Koreans start strong at CP Women’s Open BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON, Ont. — On the eve of the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open, So Yeon Ryu, Na Yeon Choi and Inbee Park got together for dinner with some fellow South Korean golfers. While Park picked up the tab after winning the LPGA Championship, all three benefited from the fellowship. Ryu set a new course record with a 9-under 63, Choi was one shot behind her and Park three off the lead after the first round of the US$2.25million tournament at the London Hunt and Country Club. Traditional Korean food was on the menu, but Ryu credited the company, rather than the cuisine, for her strong start. “We had a talk together to help us relax,” Ryu said. “Sometimes when you’re hanging out with really good friends, it can make you more relaxed and enjoy the golf. Today, I really enjoyed my golf. That comes from great friendship.” Ryu’s 63 was one shy of the tournament record, and

her 9-under-par tied the best mark, set in 2009 by Song-Hee Kim. The 24-year-old hit nine birdies and played a bogeyfree round. Choi chipped in three times during her morning round, and her 8 under looked like it would stand up until Ryu got hot on the back nine. Choi knew she chipped in twice from inside of 10 yards and once from a bunker 25 yards away but had to check her scorecard to figure out how many birdies she hit. “I felt good about my game, but I didn’t really realize I had five birdies in a row,” Choi said. “I didn’t really think about I want to birdie every hole.” Choi credits Canadian manager Greg Morrison for her love of and strong play in Canada. Her career-best round of 62 came in last year’s Manulife Financial LPGA at the Grey Silo Golf Course in Waterloo, Ont. When Ryu saw Choi’s score before she teed off, she thought 3 under would be a realistic goal for her. “But I shot 9 under, so I’m

Swede Anna Nordqvist, who was playing with and pushed along by Ryu, was alone in third at 7 under. “She made nine birdies today and I made seven,” Nordqvist said. “It gives you a lot of momentum or a lot of posi-

tive energy just seeing a lot of birdies.” Park, who lamented missing a few five- or six-foot putts, was part of a group at 6 under along with Azahara Munoz, Danielle Kang and Xi Yu Lin. Other than that, she called it a “perfect round.” “Ball-striking was almost

perfect,” Park said. “Everything as pretty much right on line. These greens, they didn’t have much breaks in them, but I misread them, a couple of them. Hopefully I’ll play a little bit better tomorrow and hole some more putts.”

Riggers get rocked in opening game at nationals New Brunswick 14 Riggers 2 Red Deer Riggers playing manager Curtis Bailey still harboured a sense of humour following his team’s ugly 14-2 loss to New Brunswick in the Canadian senior men’s baseball championship Thursday at St. John’s, N.L. “I haven’t been beat that bad in . . . I can’t remember,” Bailey chuckled. Really, there was no other way to approach the setback than in a comical fashion,

considering the way the game unfolded. Red Deer pitchers Drew Boyer, Sean Maguire and Mark Fay surrendered a total of 12 hits while their teammates managed just four in the contest called after five innings. “Our pitchers didn’t start off too well. We allowed a few walks and a few hits and we couldn’t get anything going offensively,” said Bailey. Boyer started on the Red Deer mound and allowed seven runs on four hits and five walks over two and one-third innings. Maguire lasted one inning

— giving up four runs on three hits and two walks — and Fay worked the final one and twothirds frames, surrendering three runs on five hits. Boyer and Fay each fanned one batter, while winning pitcher Jake Waugh recorded just one strikeout despite giving up only four hits and no walks. “He (Waugh) wasn’t throwing overly hard . . . a lot of curveballs and change-ups,” said Bailey. “We were swinging a lot on the first pitch and just kind of getting ourselves out.” Red Deer trailed 14-0 be-

fore scoring twice in the fifth frame on catcher Jaret Chatwood’s double. Jason Chatwood also stroked a double and added a single. Mike Washburn and Jody Peterson cracked home runs for New Brunswick and Washburn, Kris Keating and Kris McKay each cracked a double.

day. As Bailey noted, there’s still plenty of time for the Riggers to right their fortunes. “If you’re going to lose one it might as well be the first one,” he said. “We’ll be better tomorrow and move on from there.” In other games Thursday, Ontario blanked New Brunswick 2-0 and fell 7-2 to British Columbia, Nova Scotia rolled over Manitoba 7-1 and thumped Newfoundland and Labrador 11-3, and Saskatchewan knocked off St. John’s 8-3. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate. com

Rory McIlroy hits from a bunker on the 13th hole during the first round of play at The Barclays golf tournament Thursday, in Paramus, N.J. 16th and the eagle on the par-5 17th hole that put him in the lead. “As poorly as I played at the start of the year, I’m just kind of glad to be here,” Van Pelt said. “Things have been trending in a lot better direction. So I felt fortunate to be here with the position I was in three months ago. I just felt like if I kept doing what I was doing, hopefully I would at least get to next week and then kind of cross that bridge when I got there.” Jim Furyk, Charles Howell III, Brendon de Jonge, Ben Martin and Cameron Tringale also were in the group one shot behind. Mahan is the only player to compete in every playoff event since the FedEx Cup began. The top 70 advance to the third week, and the top 30 get to East Lake for the finale. Plus, he hopes to audition for one of the captain’s picks for the Ryder Cup.

should have over the past week. And I think I allowed myself that and deserved that. But this is the consequence of it and I need to work hard this afternoon and go out tomorrow and shoot a good number.” McIlroy established himself anew as golf’s No. 1 player with a wire-to-wire win at the British Open, a come-from-behind win at a World Golf Championship and a late charge at Valhalla to win the PGA Championship and become the third-youngest player with four majors. Van Pelt doesn’t have that luxury. He started his year missing seven cuts in nine tournaments before it slowly started to come around over the last month. He felt he was heading in the right direction and received more confirmation Thursday. Van Pelt didn’t make a bogey, and finished strong with a 10-foot birdie putt on the

GOLF: Scoreable Park predicted that, given the conditions of the course, she would have to be more than 20-under par to win this tournament. Choi didn’t think that was realistic until she wrapped up. “Actually I was thinking like under 15,” Choi said. “But after my score today, which means — if I shoot like 8

under, I think everyone could shoot like 8-under, so we will see.” Jennifer Kirby (Paris, Ont.) finished at 5 under as the low Canadian. Her playing partners, Brooke Henderson (Smiths Falls, Ont.) and Rebecca LeeBentham (Toronto) were each 2 under, along with amateur Elizabeth Tong (Thornhill, Ont.) and Sara-Maude Juneau (Fossambault, Que.). “I think this course is very scoreable, so I think that it was a good round today, but I still left a few out there,” Kirby said. Choi left at least one shot on the course, too, as her birdie putt on No. 9 — her final hole of the day — lipped out. A tie for the lead might’ve done wonders for a player who hasn’t won a tournament since the 2012 U.S. Open. Similarly, Ryu hasn’t won in two years, so the two friends can try to help each other through. “We kind of talk about how can we get through this one, how do we think about this situation,” Ryu said. “I realize I’m not the only (one going) through the hard time. That kind of conversation makes me more relieved.” If Ryu and Choi manage to keep up this play through the weekend, one of them might pick up the tab at the next team dinner. “I’m glad to buy a dinner for them,” Ryu said. “I haven’t won any tournaments the last two years so I’ve been waiting. I wish I can win this week.”

Rebels 15 Rampage 5 The Red Deer TBS Rampage took on the threetime defending Canadian junior B tier 1 lacrosse champion Six Nations Rebels Thursday and the end result wasn’t pretty. “There’s a reason why they’ve lost I believe only one game this year,” Rampage coach Ron Just said of the Rebels, following his club’s 15-5 loss to the Ontario squad in the national championship tournament at Halifax. “Their offence is very solid, their defence is very strong and their goaltending was excellent today. They’re a tough team.” Just knew the Rebels would be a tough nut to crack. “Certainly everyone in the tournament is gunning to try and beat Six Nations,” he said. “They’ve won the last three years in a row so they are the team to beat.” The Rebels ran out to a 5-1 lead after one period and were up 9-1 heading into the third stanza. Reid Swier notched Red Deer’s first-period goal and Davis Reykdal tallied three times and Mitch Vellner scored once in the final frame. Mitch Green fired five goals for the Rebels, who were assessed 17 of 26 penalties while improving to 3-0-0. Jon McMillan was in net for the Rampage. “I don’t think the score did us justice. We battled them as well as anyone has battled them in the tournament so far this year,” said Just, whose squad slipped to 1-2-1. Trailing five teams in the standings, Just doesn’t see his club making an appearance in Sunday’s championship final. “I think too many things have to happen for us to have a shot at the gold-medal game,” he said. “It’s most likely that we’re playing for bronze now.” The Rampage might have to beat the Manitoba Blizzard and Quebec in their final two round-robin games — today and Saturday — to get a shot at bronze. Winning a bronze medal would be a nifty accomplishment for a team making its first appearance in the nationals. “It’s disappointing because I think we felt we could do better than that,” said Just. “But with it being our first time in the Canadian championship I think bringing home a bronze medal would be something that Red Deer Lacrosse could be proud of.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

PARAMUS, N.J. — Rory McIlroy took a week to celebrate his blockbuster summer and paid for it in The Barclays with his worst start in two months. He could afford a day off. That wasn’t the case for players like Bo Van Pelt and Paul Casey, and they picked a good time to produce good scores. With no guarantee of playing beyond this week, Van Pelt opened with three straight birdies Thursday and chipped in for eagle late in his round for a 6-under 65 that gave him a one-shot lead in the opener of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Van Pelt is No. 104 in the FedEx Cup. Only the top 100 advance to the next tournament. Casey is No. 118 with a lot on his mind — specifically the birth of his first child in two weeks — and played bogey-free at Ridgewood to join seven other players at 66. That group included Brendon Todd, who is trying to get Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson’s attention as a possible wild-card pick; and Hunter Mahan, who at No. 62 is in danger of missing the Tour Championship for the first time since the FedEx Cup began in 2007. Ridgewood featured some of the deepest rough of the year, though the greens were soft enough to allow for birdies if players could keep it in the fairway. The average score was 70.8, with 44 rounds in the 60s. McIlroy was not among them. The British Open and PGA champion went 13 holes before he made his first birdie and finished with a 74. That ended a streak of 14 straight rounds under par, and it was his highest score in the opening round since a 74 in the Irish Open in June. “Fatigue isn’t playing a part,” he said. “It’s I think just not putting the time in that I probably

Eagles’ offence soars over Steelers NFL PRESEASON BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Eagles 31 Steelers 21 PHILADELPHIA — This was more like last year’s Eagles. Nick Foles threw one touchdown pass and led Philadelphia’s starting offence to three first-half scores in a 31-21 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. “I feel we’re improving every week,” Foles said. “We have to keep moving forward.” Steelers running backs Le’Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount both played one day after they were arrested for marijuana possession shortly before Pittsburgh (1-2) travelled to Philadelphia (1-2). “I’m sorry to be a distraction to the team but I’m only going to answer football questions now,” Bell said. Blount also would only answer football questions. “I just want to apologize to my team, to the coach and the organization for causing that distraction,” he said. Eagles All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy left the game with a right thumb injury after a 22-yard TD catch gave Philadelphia a 7-0 lead. X-rays on McCoy’s thumb were negative, but he didn’t return. McCoy showed no effects of a toe injury that forced him to miss one practice earlier in the week. “It’s no big deal,” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. The Eagles’ first-team offence had only one touchdown on six drives in road losses to Chicago and New England. But they looked more like the unit that set several franchise records in 2013. “We have a lot we can improve on,” Foles said. “It’s important not to get complacent.” Foles was 19 of 29 for 179 yards and threw one interception. He led the offence to 17 points and 251 total yards

Starting wide receivers Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper played their first game together, combining for nine catches for 68 yards. The Steelers couldn’t get going against Philadelphia’s first-team defence. Ben Roethlisberger tossed a 27-yard TD pass to Heath Miller in the third quarter against the backups. “We’re not worried about it. It’s preseason,” Blount said. Roethlisberger finished 15 of 24 for 157 yards, one TD and one interception. Bell had nine carries for 23 yards and

Blount ran seven times for 32 yards. Rookie linebacker Ryan Shazier had six tackles after an impressive debut last week against the Bills. The Steelers weren’t happy with their defensive effort. “I’m just ticked,” end Cameron Heyward said. “We all have to look at each other in the mirror. We’re not going to settle for anything less. We know when we put on this jersey, it represents a lot. We might not be the same players but we have to step up, make plays and focus.” Foles got the offence rolling on the second possession. He connected with Maclin for 7

yards on third-and-5 and then hit Brent Celek for a 23-yard catch-and-run. A holding call on William Gay kept the drive alive when Foles threw incomplete on third down. Foles then tossed a screen pass to McCoy on third-and-10 from the Steelers 22. McCoy did the rest, following a takeout block by Todd Herremans into the end zone. Foles completed seven straight passes after misfiring on six of his first 10 throws. He was 6 for 6 for 56 yards on the third drive, which ended with Darren Sproles running in from the 1 for a 14-0 lead. Foles threw his third inter-

weaknesses in a team that surprisingly jumped out to a 5-1 start. Toronto threw four touchdown passes and racked up 174 rushing yards in a 38-21 home victory on Aug. 12 that included plenty of missed tackles by Bomber defenders. Winnipeg’s last home game on Aug. 7 was a 23-17 loss to Saskatchewan, featuring six Bomber turnovers the Roughriders used to score 20 points in front of the first sellout crowd of the season. “We had this long week to focus on technique, basically getting the things we’ve done wrong over the last few games back to the right way,’’ Winnipeg defensive tackle Bryant Turner said. In all three of Winnipeg’s losses this season, they failed to stop the opposition’s ground game. While Toronto rushed for 174 yards, Saskatchewan racked up 186 yards and Edmonton tallied 192 in its 26-3 victory against Winnipeg on July 17. Montreal running back Brandon Whitaker isn’t a big, bruising back, but he’s been eating up the yards and sits third in the CFL in rushing yards with 406 yards on 87 carries. Winnipeg’s Nic Grigsby is first after rushing 97 times

for 416 yards. “(Whitaker is) a good back and I think they’re going to use him, especially with a new quarterback in there,’’ Bombers middle linebacker Ian Wild said. Former Bomber pivot Alex Brink is making his second straight start for the Als in place of injured Troy Smith. Brink, who played for Winnipeg from 2010-12 and went 3-4, is excited to go up against the Bombers, but noted there aren’t many familiar faces left. “Outside of a handful of players, there’s not a lot of folks left in this organization that I’ve dealt with,’’ Brink said. “So there’s no animosity or anything like that. It’s not a revenge game or anything. I’m excited to go out and play and we desperately need a W and so that’s really all that matters to me.’’ Brink completed 19-of-31 passes for 187 yards with an interception against Saskatchewan, and was sacked three times by CFL leader John Chick. Higgins said backup quarterbacks Jonathan Crompton and Tanner Marsh will get some playing time as the Alouettes continue to search for a long-term answer at that position.

ception of the preseason when Troy Polamalu picked off a pass in the second quarter. The Pro Bowl MVP quarterback threw only two interceptions on 350 pass attempts last year, including the playoffs. He had 27 TD passes in the regular season, setting an NFL record for best TD/interception ratio. Matthew Tucker had a pair of 1-yard TD runs for the Eagles in the second half. Pittsburgh’s Bruce Gradkowski threw a 33-yard TD pass to Darrius HeywardBey and a 3-yard TD pass to Martavis Bryant in the fourth quarter.

Lions guarantee victory over rival Riders, or BC Place fans get free tickets VANCOUVER — The B.C Lions are guaranteeing a win at home against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday, and they’re backing up their boast with free tickets if they don’t come through. If the Lions fail to beat the Roughriders, all fans in attendance can redeem their game ticket for a ticket of equal value to one of the club’s four remaining regular season home games. “The Saskatchewan Roughriders have challenged this community,” team president and CEO Dennis Skulsky said in a statement. “They have purchased billboards promoting their team and they’re hosting a ’Rider fan party and rally in our backyard. “We’re a very good football team and we’re here to proudly represent this city and this province. The best way to do that is to win on Sunday and we guarantee that will happen.” The Lions say it’s the first time that the club has publicly announced a guaranteed win in its 61-season history. B.C. (5-3) and Saskatchewan (5-2) enter Sunday’s game two points behind CFL West leaders Calgary and Edmonton.

WINNIPEG _ The Montreal Alouettes may be on a five-game losing skid, but quarterback Drew Willy isn’t viewing Friday’s game as a slam dunk for the Blue Bombers. Winnipeg (5-3) has had troubles of its own lately, losing two straight heading into the home game against Montreal (1-6). And as much as the Alouettes are struggling, some of their losses have been in close games against good teams. “We saw even last week, they played Saskatchewan very tough, to the wire there,’’ Willy said Thursday of Montreal’s 16-11 loss to the Roughriders. “They’re not far off from winning games so we need to take them very seriously and that’s what we have been doing.’’ The Alouettes stayed in Regina and arrived in Winnipeg Thursday afternoon. “We very much intend to hopefully pick up where we left off,’’ Montreal head coach Tom Higgins said of the loss to the Riders. * “We thought that was one of our better outings of the football season.’’ Toronto leads the CFL ENTER AND East Division with a 3-5 reYOU COULD cord, followed by Hamilton, Ottawa and Montreal in a log jam at 1-6. Higgins pointed to those pitiful standings Montreal has never been 1-6 since rejoining the league in 1996 - as a saving grace. “We’d like to get on a roll,’’ he said. “We’re very lucky that we’re in the East because no matter how it looks, we’re still sitting in second, as ugly as it might be. “You get two wins, then all of a sudden you’re feeling pretty good about yourself.’’ The Alouettes have averaged 21.3 points per game at home this season and only 8.0 on the road. Calgary and Edmonton top the West Division with 6-1 records, while Saskatchewan is 5-2 and Winnipeg and B.C. are tied at 5-3. In their first game against each other in Montreal, Winnipeg rallied for a 34-33 come-from-behind win, one of three lategame victories the Bombers have pulled out this season. *NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.

New helmet tech looks to curb concussions U.S. COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAMS TEST NEW HELMET, BUT DOES IT WORK? BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In this Aug. 16 photo, Arkansas guard Brey Cook wears a Riddell SpeedFlex helmet during a preseason NCAA college football practice in Fayetteville, Ark. With lawsuits and concern regarding concussions hanging over every level of football, the race to develop safer helmets and other equipment has never been more intense. difficult.” Riddell spokeswoman Erin Griffin said more than half of NCAA Division I programs are using the SpeedFlex. She said some programs — like Arkansas — have taken an aggressive approach to using the helmets while others have more of a wait-and-see attitude. Mississippi State equipment manager Phil Silva, who is in his 31st year at the school, said he had the opportunity to order the SpeedFlex but declined. He said the technology looked fine, but he wanted to make sure there was demand among players. “Most of our players like to use the brand of helmet they used in high school,” Silva said. “We want to make sure guys are going to use them before we order.” Dr. Stefan Duma, the department head of the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest School of Biomedical Engineering and

Sciences, has been a pioneer in releasing independent ratings for the safety football helmets provide. He says Riddell’s newest modifications for the SpeedFlex are “promising,” though he has not tested the helmet because it’s not yet available to the public. His team tests helmets by purchasing three and then performing 40 tests on each helmet that measure front, top, side and back impacts. They then aggregate the scores from all impacts and assign each helmet a 1-5 star rating, with a 5-star label being the highest. “It’s one of the first really new concepts in helmet technology — having the flexible outer shell,” Duma said of the SpeedFlex. Riddell provides helmets to every level of football — all the way from the pros to Pop Warner. Designing a helmet that successfully tests as a ’saf-

er’ model would be a boon for the manufacturer. The company was previously the official helmet of the NFL, but that partnership ended after last season. A league spokesman said that in 2013, about 60 per cent of the league’s players used Riddell helmets. For now, experts say the best way to make football safer is through rule changes. Dr. Julian Bailes, who has advised the NFLPA and NCAA about concussions and is the medical director for Pop Warner, says rules that outlaw targeting the head and limits on how often teams can have fullcontact practices are vital advancements. “Every level of play is addressing this issue,” Bailes said. “Do you really need to be exposed to that many blows to the head?” Online: www.Riddell.com/ SpeedFlex

Arkansas coach Bret Bielema proudly posted a message on Twitter last spring that featured the Razorbacks’ new helmets — a futuristic design by Riddell called the SpeedFlex that is supposed to be the latest in head protection. A vocal proponent of player safety, Bielema is happy to be a part of the cutting edge. But it’s a bit of a leap of faith. He has no proof that the SpeedFlex — or any other helmet — can reduce the risk of a devastating head injury. “It’s just like everything else — everything advances and you get better at it,” Bielema said at a recent Arkansas practice. “I think our kids really like the way (the helmets) feel. They feel snug. They feel fit. So I think that’s a step in the right direction.” With lawsuits and concern regarding concussions hanging over every level of football, the race to develop safer helmets and other equipment has never been more intense. Even so, experts say it remains to be seen if new technology has made a dent in reducing concussions on the football field. “It’s very admirable that they’re trying to get better,” said Dr. Robert Cantu, a Boston-based neurosurgeon who specializes in sports concussions. “But with regards to concussions, it’s a very complex issue ... There really isn’t any helmet that has clearly been shown on the football field to be superior to other helmets.” The NCAA recently reached a proposed settlement of a class-action lawsuit by agreeing to toughen return-to-play rules for players who receive head blows and create a $70 million fund to pay for thousands of current and former athletes to undergo testing to determine whether they suffered brain trauma while playing football and other contact sports. Concussions occur when the brain moves inside the skull from an impact or a whiplash effect, but it’s still an injury that doctors are learning about. There’s also debate about the best way to test for con-

cussion factors or how to even identify when concussions occur. The SpeedFlex’s new design features a five-sided indentation on the crown of the helmet and a faceguard that both have some flexibility, which is supposed to allow some force to be absorbed and dispersed instead of going directly to the head. There’s also a revamped ratchet chinstrap system for faster adjustments and a quick release for the faceguard that could benefit medical staff seeking access to the face in the event of an emergency. Thad Ide, Riddell’s senior vice-president for research and product development, said his company isn’t claiming that the SpeedFlex can help reduce concussions. But like Bielema, he believes progress is being made in regards to lessening head impacts. “We’ll let the medical researchers weigh in on the medical data around concussions, because that’s kind of a moving target right now because of all the things that are being learned,” Ide said. “But what we can do is try to reduce the forces of impact to the player’s head. I think reducing those forces is unequivocally a good thing.” Cantu said current football helmet certification tests by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) measure only linear impacts, which are direct blows. But new standards proposed over the summer would also mandate tests for rotational forces — or non-direct blows that could better reflect what actually happens on a football field. NOCSAE’s new standards are expected to go into effect sometime next year. Mike Oliver, the executive director of NOCSAE, said helmet technology is improving but there are no simple answers. “I think the helmet manufactures are doing everything they can do to address these issues,” Oliver said. “But they labour under the same restrictions that we do, which is until we understand more about the specifics of what causes a particular concussion, it’s a little

Canada faces challenge in building off women’s rugby World Cup success BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NFL

Bills coach Marrone upset by fights, shoving matches at practice BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Bills coach Doug Marrone blew up at his players on Thursday, sending a message that he’s fed up with too many fights and postwhistle shoving matches during practice. Marrone cleared the field during the middle of a team drill and ordered players to run sprints after several of them exchanged shoves. That included receiver Marquise Goodwin pushing down rookie cornerback Sam Miller from behind. Marrone then directed his anger at starting defensive end Jerry Hughes on the sideline. Looking directly at Hughes, Marrone used several profanities in telling the player to stop complaining. “Why can’t you handle it as players?” Marrone yelled. He then motioned toward the locker room and said: “Do you want to play on this team?” Once again looking at Hughes, Marrone said: “If you’ve got a problem with me, you need to come and tell me.” Marrone spent a few minutes meeting with Hughes following practice. Walking off the field, Hughes referred questions about what happened to Marrone, and added: “the head coach took care of it.” Afterward, Marrone said his comments were directed at the team and not Hughes. “That’s directed at anyone who doesn’t want to be part of the team,” Marrone said. “I told Jerry that I love the way he practices and I love the way he plays special teams and how he goes about it. And we’ve got to get some other guys who are starters to do that.” Marrone’s blowup occurred on the final day of practice at the Bills’ training camp facility in suburban Rochester. The Bills will have two more walk-throughs at camp — both closed to the public and media — before travelling to Orchard Park on Saturday for their preseason game against Tampa Bay. Several fights have broken out during camp, which opened July 20. The most intense fight occurred Wednesday when rookie defensive end Bryan Johnson ripped off the helmet of centre Eric Wood and then connected with several punches. Numerous veterans stepped in to defend Wood, who sustained a cut on his nose. Johnson was wrestled to the ground by guard Erik Pears and tight end Scott Chandler. Hughes wasn’t involved in the fight, but yelled a few things from the sideline, including: “Twentyone days in pads and counting. I love it!” Marrone, a former NFL offensive lineman, said there’s no place in the game for fighting, that it shows a lack of respect for players, coaches and the game.

Canadian players celebrate after winning the semi-final match of the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2014 between France and Canada, at the Jean Bouin stadium, in Paris, Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014. Canada won 18-16 and went on to lose the gold medal game against England. Maintaining the same success for the national women’s rugby program could be a big challenge. replace her with a (quality player),” Ratier said. “It’s identifying more talent and developing more players in the key positions. This is the key for the next three years.” And those players will likely have to incur a substantial cost to participate in the next World Cup. Ratier estimated that Canadian players spent around $10,000 out of their own pockets to attend the World Cup and the preparation tournaments leading up to it. Ratier said it’s a big commitment “considering we are playing teams that are funded, like New Zealand, England and France. “When you see the French who are paid 120 euros a week when they are away, it’s not big but at least they can survive,” he said. “For us, some of the girls had to resign from their job to go to this World Cup.” Money doesn’t appear to be an issue for Harvey, who said she doesn’t think about the big contracts athletes of her calibre get in mainstream profes-

sional sports. “I do it for the love, I do it for the passion, and I do it because I love representing Canada,” she said. But representing Canada is not always easy, especially in the three years that follow a World Cup. Ratier after Sunday’s final that Canada has trouble lining up quality opponents at the same time that France and England are playing in the prestigious Women’s Six Nations Championship. There are also some lingering infrastructure issues compared to countries where rugby is considered a top-tier sport for women. Harvey said she was offered little guidance when she first got into rugby in high school, though she added the level of coaching in Canada is improving. “It was pretty scary because there were no coaches who knew how to play rugby so they would just put you on the field and tell you to play,” she said. “Now its getting better. Coaches are more informed and teach you more.”

With a second-place finish at the women’s rugby World Cup, Canada showed it deserved a place among the sport’s elite teams. Figuring out how to stay there is the next challenge, and it could be a big one. The Canadian women’s team received unprecedented exposure during its run to the final of the World Cup, which ended in a tough 21-9 loss to England on Sunday. Canada’s games were televised live, and winger Magali Harvey’s brilliant 100-metre try against France in Canada’s semifinal win made highlight reels across the country. But even after such a successful tournament, head coach Francois Ratier said in an interview after the final that it’s possible the team might be forgotten after what he called its “15 minutes.” It remains to be seen how Rugby Canada builds on the historic World Cup performance, the precedent set by the sustained interest in women’s soccer after Canada’s bronze-medal performance at the London Olympics could serve as a possible model. “I think the fact that it was shown on TV is going to make a huge difference, because women around the world and especially in Canada got to see what we were doing on the field and see what it was all about,” Harvey said on a conference call Wednesday. “So I’m hoping that it’s going to promote the sport and push females around Canada to try that sport or any other sport.” But as helpful as the exposure is, there are hurdles. Ratier said fundraising for the team was a considerable obstacle and getting fixtures against quality teams is a challenge for Canada, but not European teams. Ratier said Wednesday one of the key challenges facing Canada over the next three years is developing depth. While Canada’s roster has star power — Harvey won the IRB women’s rugby player of the year award, while captain Kelly Russell, who Ratier calls Canada’s best player, was a finalist — heavyweights like New Zealand, England and France have more overall depth and can overcome injuries and fatigue easier. “It’s increasing the depth in certain positions, and making sure that when we have an injury we can

Armstrong now an Olympic bronze medallist, will receive Beijing medal in future

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Dylan Armstrong of Canada throws in the finals of Shot Put competition at the Olympic Games in London on Friday August 3, 2012. BY THE CANADIAN PRESS It has been six years since Canadian shot putter Dylan Armstrong just missed the Olympic podium and over a year since the Belarusian who beat him for the bronze medal was banned from the sport for life. Armstrong’s long wait for Olympic glory is about to end. The official record from the men’s shot put competition at the 2008 Beijing Games will now show that Armstrong finished in third place instead of fourth. The change was made this week after the International Olympic Committee recognized the IAAF sanction given to Andrei Mikhnevich, who tested positive in retests of his doping sample from the 2005 world championships. Armstrong may have been denied his podium appearance at the Bird’s Nest Stadium, but he’s thrilled that he’ll eventually be presented with the medal in his home country. “Just getting a medal and receiving it at home is truly amazing,” Armstrong said Thursday from Vancouver. “Even though the moment in Beijing would have been an absolutely amazing moment, it’s still very satisfying to know that I’m going to get it and receive it on home soil.” Armstrong will receive the medal at a later date. Plans have not been finalized but he hopes the ceremony will be held in his hometown of Kamloops, B.C. Tomasz Majewski of Poland won gold in Beijing with a throw of 21.51 metres and American Christian

Cantwell took silver with a throw of 21.09 metres. Armstrong initially finished fourth with a throw of 21.04 metres, just one centimetre behind Mikhnevich. “It’s definitely the most important medal that I’ve achieved,” Armstrong said on a conference call. “That being said, it’s kind of like the big ticket. I can use this now to inspire younger athletes, keep kids out of trouble and help them achieve their goals, especially in my community. “Really give kids hope, that’s what I’m about. I’ve always been a big supporter of athletics in Canada.” Mikhnevich had already served a two-year suspension for a doping offence so the positive test from 2005 resulted in a lifetime ban. Last year’s sanction from the IAAF — the world governing body for track and field — annulled his results dating back to August 2005. The placings from several events had to be adjusted. Armstrong was also retroactively awarded the bronze medal from the 2010 world indoor championships after Mikhnevich was stripped of his silver medal from that competition. He received the world indoor medal first as it only needed rubber stamping from the IAAF. The Olympic bronze was a longer process as it needed to go through both the IAAF and the IOC. “Justice has been made,” said COC president Marcel Aubut. The 33-year-old Armstrong said he’s proud that he was able to stay positive during the long process. He added that he has always been determined to set a good example for others.

Longtime goaltender Giguere retires after 16 NHL seasons BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — The goaltender known as “Jiggy” is stepping away from the net. Jean-Sebastien Giguere announced his retirement Thursday after 16 NHL seasons in which he won 262 games, a Conn Smythe Trophy and a Stanley Cup championship. The Colorado Avalanche say Giguere made his decision in Quebec while with the BlainvilleBoisbriand Armada hockey team. He’s part owner of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League squad. “His achievements speak for themselves, from winning the Stanley Cup to winning the Conn Smythe, Jiggy was always a top-notch goaltender,” team executive Joe Sakic said in a statement. “He was also a very important

part of our team during the past three seasons, providing veteran leadership and stability in net. We wish him and his family the best of luck.” Giguere served as Semyon Varlamov’s backup last season in Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roy’s first season behind the bench. The team made it back to the post-season for the first time since 2010. What’s more, Giguere took rookie Nathan MacKinnon under his wing and allowed the talented teenager to live in the family’s basement all season. The two even car-pooled to games and practices. The 37-year-old Giguere is best known for his time with the Anaheim Ducks. He led the team to two appearances in the Stanley Cup finals, capturing the Conn Smythe Trophy in defeat in 2003 and hoisting the Cup in 2007.

Exit plan unveiled for MLSE CEO Leiweke STAY ON UNTIL JUNE 30 2015, OR UNTIL REPLACEMENT FOUND BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment has cleared up the uncertainty surrounding president and chief executive officer Tim Leiweke’s long-term future with the company. He will stay in the position until June 30, 2015 or until a new CEO is found, MLSE said Thursday in a statement. “Under Tim’s leadership, MLSE has made a number of key moves to strengthen our organization on the path to championship success,” said MLSE chairman Larry Tanenbaum. “We look forward to working closely with Tim to build on this foundation and further accelerate our momentum as we seek a new leader for MLSE.” The Toronto-based sports organization counts the NHL’s Maple Leafs, NBA’s Raptors, AHL’s Marlies and Toronto FC

of Major League Soccer among its properties. The search for Leiweke’s successor is underway, MLSE said in the statement. Leiweke’s future with MLSE has been a hot topic this week after a report indicated he would “soon” be leaving the company. He denied the report, called the rumours a distraction and said he was focused on the teams’ current and upcoming seasons. However, Leiweke, who joined MLSE in April 2013 and is reportedly under contract for five years, did not reveal his long-term plans. He also did not say how long he wanted to stay in the position. That became much more clear Thursday morning when MLSE issued a five-paragraph statement. Once he leaves, the longtime sports executive plans to pursue his goal of owning and operating his own business.

“It’s an honour to lead MLSE, a world-class organization in a city and a country so passionate about sports,” he said. “But with new opportunities on the horizon, it’s time for me to begin the transition from sports and entertainment executive to entrepreneur. “Right now, my total focus is here at MLSE and I look forward to working with the Board and MLSE team to continue strengthening our franchises while ensuring a smooth transition to a new leader.” Until his successor is found, the company will continue to operate with its current executive management structure. The statement did not say whether Leiweke’s successor would also assume his title of president. A decision on that would be made at a later date, an MLSE spokesperson said in an email. “I’ve always told everyone I’m not here forever,” Leiweke said Wednesday during a brief media availability at the Air Canada Centre galleria. “My job is to change the culture

and get it headed in the right direction.” Leiweke has helped guide dramatic change at all levels during his 16 months at the helm. In May of last year, he lured NBA executive of the year Masai Ujiri away from the Denver Nuggets. Two months later, he restructured the senior management team at MLSE. Leiweke then turned his attention to Toronto FC, firing president and general manager Kevin Payne and later hiring Tim Bezbatchenko as GM. On the NBA front, the Raptors announced plans for a two-year rebranding effort last fall, named local rapper Drake as their global ambassador and Toronto landed the 2016 NBA all-star game. Toronto FC underwent a roster makeover over the winter, landing Jermain Defoe, Gilberto and Michael Bradley while bringing back former league MVP Dwayne De Rosario. In April, the Maple Leafs brought in former star player Brendan Shanahan to

oversee all team operations as club president and alternate governor. The teams have had mixed results under Leiweke’s watch. The Maple Leafs missed the playoffs last spring but the Raptors claimed the Atlantic Division title and returned to the post-season for the first time in six years. Toronto FC, meanwhile, is in third place in the Eastern Conference standings and could make the playoffs. Leiweke’s pro sports business career has spanned over 30 years. He previously worked as president and CEO of AEG, which owns the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, NBA’s Lakers and the Galaxy of MLS. He joined the Kings as president in 1996 and became president and CEO of AEG Worldwide in 2001. Leiweke also previously served as president and CEO of U.S. Skiing and has worked for the NBA’s Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves as well as the St. Louis Steamers of the Major Indoor Soccer League.

SNOQUALMIE, Wash. — It will remain a sore spot with Fred Couples until he’s finally able to add the accomplishment to his resume. For all the tournament’s won during his career, Couples has still never won in the Seattle area, where he grew up. Not that he’s had many chances. With Seattle lacking a regular PGA Tour stop the most marquee events that Couples has participated were the 1998 PGA Championship and 2010 U.S. Senior Open, along with being a regular participant in the Boeing Classic since joining the Champions Tour in 2010. Couples is back at the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge this week trying to win that elusive hometown title in the 10th edition of the popular tournament. “It’s really one of my favourite courses and not just because I’m from here, but it’s for a longer hitter,” Couples said. “It’s always in immaculate condition. The greens are perfect, the fairways are perfect. You get a good amount of people out there to watch.” He’s come close to breaking through in his hometown in the past. Three times Couples has finished in the top three of events around Seattle. That included his runner-up finish to Bernhard Langer at the 2010 Senior Open played at nearby Sahalee Country Club. Last year Couples closed with a 66 on the final day of the Boeing Classic but was unable to catch John Riegger and finished third. “For me personally, my first senior tour event was at Sahalee and I lost to Langer. It wasn’t the end of all ends, but I was trying to win hard and this is a tournament that I really would love to win,” Couples said. “I probably don’t have that many more chances, maybe another two or three years before I get too old to totally compete, but that is my goal.” Although unlikely, Couples is hoping to give himself two chances to win in his home state in 2015. Couples said he plans on trying to qualify for the U.S. Open being played at Chambers Bay if he does not receive an exemption for the tournament. Couples and Langer will be paired together for the first round on Friday. It will be just the second Champions Tour start for Couples since May, slowed by continued back problems.

The committee in charge of the redevelopment has sent a giant thank you to National Hockey League player Colin Fraser who brought the NHL’s prize trophy to Sylvan Lake recently. Fraser, former captain of the Red Deer Rebels, was a member of the Los Angeles Kings last season. His team won the Stanley Cup in June. Fraser was asked for a minimum donation of $5 for those who wanted to take photos with the Stanley Cup. The money will be used to assist the NexSource Centre multiplex.

Arena roof nears end ELECTRONIC MONITORING SYSTEM ADDED; RENOVATION CONSIDERED BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A close eye will be kept on the Red Deer Arena’s roof to avoid a disaster like the one in Sylvan Lake last winter. In January, the old Sylvan Lake Arena’s roof partially collapsed under a heavy snow load. It was early in the morning and no one was injured but an ice-machine driver had a near miss. This week, City of Red Deer officials revealed that the roof on the city’s oldest arena has only one to three years left in its lifespan. Sarah Cockerill, Community Services Department director, said there is no risk to the public but the issue is critical. A spring study that looked at the wood beams, columns and trusses, and the connections in the roof structure revealed sig-

nificant cracking, twisted braces and rusted crossbars. An electronic system has been recently installed to monitor the roof. “We are implementing some fall arrest equipment so that we can go in and clear off the roof this winter in case there is a big snowfall like last winter,” said Cockerill. The study recommends a roof replacement in one to three years. It also recommends other life cycle replacements over the next three to five years in the entire building. Council could decide the fate of the rink and its roof during its budget talks in November. Cockerill said she did not have a clear number on the potential cost of renovations or building replacement because more studies need to be conducted. The fall arrest equipment and monitoring system rang in at about $50,000. The rink is pegged as one of the poten-

tial facilities for the 2019 Canada Winter Games. It was built in 1952, with renovations in 1978 and in 1995. “While the truss system and columns are over 62-years-old, the 1995 renovations were intended to extend the life an additional 10 to 20 years,” said Cockerill. “In 2015, it will mark that 20-year mark.” Since 2010, the Alberta building code requirements have higher standards for construction and snow loads than those in effect during the past renovations. Cockerill said there were no problems last winter, during heavy snowfall, although staff monitored the snow levels. This winter they will also have the help of the monitoring system. The rink has a seating capacity of about 1,400 and is the largest city-owned spectator arena. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Lost for almost a year Linda Stark of Red Deer has been reunited with her Pit Bull named Red Bull. The Dog was found in Grande Prairie and identified by Animal Services there by using an implanted chip.

Local dog shows up in Grande Prairie BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Linda Stark was ready to give up hope that her beloved pooch would ever come home. Stark reported him stolen from her yard last October. And over the last 10 months, she worked tirelessly putting up posters and scouring the Internet for leads on the whereabouts of Red Bull, her 10-month-old pit bull.

But it was a embedded microchip in Red Bull that brought her “friendly giant” home. Stark said the only hope she had left was that one day the microchip company would locate him. When the call finally came on Aug. 12, she was overjoyed. The company told her to call the Grande Prairie SPCA because Red Bull’s chip had matched a dog that was brought to the clinic. Bylaw officers had found him running

around a neighbourhood in the city and brought him to the clinic. After forwarding information to verify that she was the owner, she drove to Grande Prairie the next day to pick up Red Bull. “He remembered me right away,” said Stark. “He came out, jumped up and licked my face. All the way home he sat in the seat beside me and he kept putting his paws on me.”

Suspected gang case moved to Edmonton Two men with suspected gang ties who were among four people arrested in a major drug bust last month will be prosecuted in Edmonton. The prosecutions of all four of those arrested in the July 23 raids on three locations in Red Deer County, Airdrie and Calgary will be turned over to prosecutors who deal with gang cases. Cory James Lesperance, 29, originally from B.C., appeared in Red Deer provincial court by closed-circuit TV from the Red Deer Remand Centre on Thursday morning. RCMP allege that Lesperance is a member of the notorious and violent Vancouverbased Red Scorpions gang. Lesperance is facing 15 drugs and weapons charges and police allege is a key person in an Alberta-wide drug network.

Three other accused are considered by police to be associates of the Red Scorpions. Robin Joseph Stewart, 52, was arrested at a Balmoral Heights home just east of Red Deer in the same bust. He is facing eight weapons and drug charges and is out on bail. Stewart also made a brief appearance in court on Thursday. Both men return to court on Sept. 11, along with the two others arrested as part of the two-month RCMP investigation. Nicholas David James White, 21, who is facing a number of drug charges, appeared in court last week and had his case put over to Sept. 11. So did the fourth person charged, Amber McLeod, 23. Federal Crown prosecutor Dave Inglis

said an Edmonton prosecutor has yet to be assigned to the case. The investigation was started by Red Deer’s RCMP Street Team and expanded to include police from Calgary and Airdrie, as well as the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT). Among the items that police found at the three residences were 512 grams of methamphetamine, 517 grams of cocaine, 52 grams of heroin, 264 grams of marijuana, 80 grams of psilocybin (magic mushrooms), 130 ml of anabolic steroids, a cocaine conversion lab, scales, packaging, drug paraphernalia, a loaded semi-automatic handgun, a stolen shotgun with ammunition, three replica handguns, $8,955 in cash and two vehicles.

On June 19 and June 22, the suspect stole several cases of liquor from the Co-op Liquor Store in Deer Park. The same suspect is believed to be responsible for similar thefts in surrounding communities. The man is described as Caucasian male with tattoos on his forearms and dark hair. He usually wears a ball cap and sometimes has facial hair. The vehicle he was driving is a grey extended cab truck.

Man guilty of fraud in Olds Jail time, probation and a fine have been levied against a man convicted in Didsbury earlier this week for credit card fraud in Olds. Morgan Stephen Winter, 40, was arrested on Dec. 3, 2013, on 21 offences, including possession of a stolen credit card, using a forged document and fraud. He was sentenced in Didsbury provincial court on Monday to 22 months in jail, followed by 12 months on probation. He was also fined $500.

Youth remains in adult jail A lawyer for a teen accused of a gangland-style murder wants him moved out of an adult prison. The teen, who can’t be named because he was 17 at the time of the offence, has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Lloyd Robert Sarson, 25. Sarson was found shot to death in a parked car in an alley in the Eastview subdivision on New Year’s Day 2013. RCMP believe the killing was gang-related. The teen appeared in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday morning by closed-circuit TV from Red Deer Remand Centre. Red Deer lawyer Greg Gordon, who was acting on behalf of Bird’s lawyer Karen Molle, of Calgary, told the court that Molle was trying to get the teen, now 18, moved to a youth detention facility. That may require a hearing in court. The accused was arrested by police acting on a tip at a Vancouver apartment in March this year. A Red Deer Crown prosecutor has said previously if the accused is convicted she will seek to have him sentenced as an adult. The accused is back in court on Sept. 18.

He will replace Jack MacDonald, who retired earlier this year. Makey comes to Red Deer from the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo in Fort McMurray, where he has spent his 29-year career with the Fort McMurray Fire Department. He began his career as a firefighter and moved up the ranks as a fire lieutenant, deputy chief and chief. Makey was executive director of Protective and Public Services for the Regional Municipality of Wood BufBrian Makey falo. He later moved to his current position as chief operating officer. Makey will start on Oct. 6 in Red Deer. He was not available for comment. But in a news release he said he is looking forward to living and working in Red Deer. “My career with the municipality has been rewarding and meaningful, and it’s something I’m very proud of,” he said. “I’ve always been passionate about public safety and emergency services, and I’m looking forward to this new opportunity.” Elaine Vincent, city Development Services Department director, said the city is excited to have Makey join the team. “We want to thank all the staff who took on additional duties and responsibilities to ensure operations and service delivery was not affected while we worked to recruit a new fire chief,” she said.

Preliminary hearing for woman charged in connection with grocery store theft A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for May for a Red Deer woman facing several charges in connection with a grocery store theft. It is alleged that a woman attempted to walk out of the Parkland Mall Safeway with a cart full of groceries on March 9. When confronted by a manager, the woman allegedly resisted and was wrestled to the ground. Later, while being walked back to the store police allege she pulled out a syringe and threatened store employees, saying it was infected with HIV. Police later arrested her without incident.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Karla Lynn Pittman, 30, on May 6 in Red Deer provincial court. A hearing is held to determine if there is enough evidence to send the case to trial. She has been charged with robbery, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and possession of a controlled substance.

Man who had 77 kg of pot will go to trial A Rocky House Mountain man will go to trial in connection with the discovery of 77 kg of marijuana found concealed in a pickup. Michael Stephen Jackson, 51, was ordered to stand trial after a preliminary hearing in Rocky Mountain House provincial court on Tuesday. He faces a single count of possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. A trial date has yet to be set. Jackson has elected to be tried by a judge alone in Court of Queen’s Bench. He was arrested days after police began investigating the death of a 14-year-old girl, who they say was hit by a vehicle driven by Jackson while she was walking or standing on Hwy 11 about 40 km west of Rocky. She was hit near an SUV that had been parked on the shoulder about 9:45 p.m. on Nov. 22, 2013. Police alleged at the time that there was a fight between Jackson and the people in the SUV when he stopped to help, so he got back into his truck and drove away. RCMP say that the injured girl was then placed in the SUV, which hit the ditch on the way to Rocky. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Jackson was not charged in connection with the collision. However, drug charges were laid five days later by Rocky RCMP, after marijuana was found hidden in the box of the truck, which had been seized as part of the collision investigation.

DOG : Reunited with her two other pit bulls. Stark said it is such an amazing feeling to have her “baby” reunited with her two other pit bulls. He jumped up on Stark’s bed where she kept his blankets and toys in anticipation of his return. “There’s no way I would have found him again had he not had that microchip,” said Stark. Sushma Arya, a veterinarian at the Taylor Veterinary Clinic, said more pet owners are seeing the benefits of having their pets microchipped. She said the chip information, including the owner’s name and address and breed of animal, is stored with a microchip company. Arya said if the pet is lost or stolen, the permanent chip can be scanned and the numbers will help them track down the owner. Most veterinary clinics offer microchipping services. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

CRTC proposes pick-and-pay TV BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s broadcast regulator has issued broad new proposals that could, if adopted, dramatically alter how Canadians receive and pay for their television. The proposals issued Thursday by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission include requiring cable and satellite providers to offer a basic service made up primarily of local Canadian channels — something CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais calls “skinny basic.” The CRTC is also proposing a socalled pick-and-pay structure that would allow Canadians to choose individual channels, on top of a basic service. And it suggests the price of that basic service could be capped at between $20 and $30 per month. The proposals, which have evolved through consultations with the public

and industry over the past year, will likely result in a major departure from the current TV content delivery model, Blais said Thursday in an interview. “How Canadians consume television content, what is television content, how technology is influencing that, is so significant that I expect out of this there’ll be considerable change,” he said. But at least one consumer group says the CRTC hasn’t gone far enough and should allow Canadians a “pure choice.” “What store do you walk into, or anywhere else, where you’re told you’ve got to buy certain things before you can buy what you want?” said Bruce Cran, president of the Consumers’ Association of Canada. Consumers should be allowed to buy TV channels one at a time, without having to pay for a basic service, no matter how pared down, he said. “It makes absolutely no sense as far as the consumers’ point of view.”

StatsCan says crops at normal levels

Still, Cran said he understands the CRTC has a mandate under the Broadcasting Act to ensure a certain amount of Canadian content, and that programming is delivered that reflects “Canadians to Canadians.” Industry Minister James Moore first indicated last October that he’d like to see more choice for Canadian television consumers. The government then laid out its plans to overhaul the country’s TV distribution system in its speech from the throne, which included a proposed “pick-and-pay” service structure. Other proposals unveiled Thursday include requiring service providers to offer build-your-own channel packages or allowing them to continue offering the same packages that are currently on the market. “(Service providers) would be required to allow subscribers to build their own custom packages of discretionary programming services,” the CRTC said in a table incorporated in a

new notice of hearing. “(Service providers) could still offer pre-assembled packages.” At the same time, the regulator proposes allowing local TV stations to shut down their transmitters — a move that might not sit well with consumers who prefer to get their TV programming over the air. “It’s an idea that we want to explore,” said Blais, who stressed that the proposal is open for debate. Roughly eight per cent of Canadian TV viewers get their content using antennas, without paying a service provider to deliver programming. The CRTC also proposes allowing television stations and networks to count revenues from online or other delivery platforms toward their overall revenue base. The regulators says it has not yet decided which options it will enforce, and is giving the public until Sept. 19 to offer comments on the proposals online.

WENDY’S CONSTRUCTION

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says it doesn’t look like Canadian farmers will be reaping another record crop this year. The agency’s July farm survey says farmers can expect production to return to more normal levels for wheat, canola and corn for grain after records last year. Total wheat production nationally is expected to drop 26.2 per cent from 2013 to 27.7 million tonnes, while the canola crop is expected to be down 22.6 per cent to 13.9 million tonnes. Barley production is anticipated to drop 30 per cent to 7.2 million tonnes and oat production is expected to fall 32.1 per cent to 2.6 million tonnes. Statistics Canada says that, at the time of the survey, farmers on the Prairies reported that excessive rain in late June was likely to affect what could be harvested. One exception is soybean production which is anticipated to reach 5.9 million tonnes — surpassing the record 5.2 million tonnes of last year.

Day joins company planning B.C. refinery PACIFIC FUTURE ENERGY WANTS TO REFINE BITUMEN TO SHIP TO ASIA BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Stockwell Day has joined the leadership team of a Vancouver company that’s planning to build a $10-billion oilsands refinery on the West Coast. The former politician, who has held high-profile cabinet posts in the federal and Alberta governStockwell Day ments, has been hired as a special adviser at Pacific Future Energy Corp. and will sit on its board of directors. He’ll also head an arms length advisory council that’s expected to be formed over the next few months. “I’ve been very gratified that I’ve been involved in a number of projects since leaving politics, but this has to be right up there in terms of something that’s exciting for me,” Day said in an interview from Vancouver. He said the proposed refinery, which bills itself as the world’s greenest, could be a “legacy project for Canada.” Oilsands producers have been keen to access lucrative Asian markets, but stiff opposition to proposals such as Enbridge Inc.’s (TSX:ENB) Northern Gateway pipeline has put a damper on those ambitions. One of the biggest environmental concerns has been

the prospect of bitumen-laden tankers navigating coastal waters. The Pacific Future proposal — along with others being floated by B.C. newspaper magnate David Black and aboriginal businessman Calvin Helin — would mean refined products, rather than heavy oil, would be shipped on tankers to Asia, making a potential spill less damaging. Day’s political experience spans the two provinces with the most at stake when it comes to West Coast energy exports. After his time in Alberta’s Progressive Conservative government, Day was the MP for the British Columbia riding of Okanagan-Coquihalla, first for the now-defunct Canadian Alliance and then for the Conservatives. He also has insight into the thinking of potential buyers of Canadian resources on the other side of the Pacific, having served as the federal trade minister and minister for the Asia-Pacific gateway. The Pacific Future proposal would mean “high-tech, long-term jobs” for Canada, said Day, who left government in 2011. “We’re talking about refining product here rather than shipping what really is raw product to other countries and seeing the jobs produced there.” The environmental aspect is also key, said Day. “I’ve talked with enough people all over British Columbia to realize that this is a genuine concern and a real impediment in the minds of many people.” Day said he’s confident there will be interest in the project from both sides of the Pacific.

And there’s interest from Alberta, too, he added. “I can honestly say I’ve never ceased talking with people from Alberta — investors and CEOs — since the days I was in Alberta about the challenges of

a unique product, but a product that in my view needs to be refined and needs to be refined here,” he said. “Of course, you have to make the economic case as well as the environmental case and this project does that.” Day said he hasn’t talked to his former colleagues in Ottawa about Pacific Future, but “I have to think this would align with many of the aspirations of the federal government vis-a-vis Canadian trade and Canadian jobs.” The Pacific Future leadership team includes venture capitalists and former provincial and federal government advisers. Its executive chairman, Samer Salameh, has experience financing and building telecommunications infrastructure for Mexican conglomerate Groupo Salinas. Pacific Future has also made First Nations engagement a priority. One of Salameh’s first hires for the management team was Jeffrey Copenace, who was deputy chief of staff to former Assembly of First Nations chief Shawn Atleo and has worked with the Ontario and federal government on aboriginal issues. Pacific Future says the refinery will be built in 200,000-barrel-per-day modules, with the ability to expand to a total of one million barrels per day. It aims to pick a location later this year for the plant and begin the regulatory process next year.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed with a small loss Thursday as traders weighed data showing an improving climate for U.S. manufacturers but worsening conditions in China and the eurozone. They also looked to a key speech by Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen on Friday for her thoughts on hiking interest rates. The S&P/TSX composite index declined 6.69 points to 15,555.26, weighed down in particular by gold stocks as bullion prices continued to retreat. The Canadian dollar was up 0.22 of a cent to 91.37 cents US. U.S. markets advanced amid growing expansion in American manufacturing. The preliminary Markit manufacturing purchasing managers index jumped to a reading of 58 in August from 55.8 in July, its highest level since April 2010. The Dow Jones industrials rose 60.36 points to 17,039.40. The Nasdaq added 5.62 points to 4,532.1 and the S&P 500 index was ahead 5.88 points to 1,992.37 as other data showed U.S. new home sales rose for a fourth straight month to the highest level in nearly a year. “The U.S. is in great shape, Canada less so than the U.S.,” said Wes Mills, chief investment officer, Scotia Private Client Group. “It shows that if we can continue on the earnings front, which it looks very much like we’re going to, then these markets are primed to go higher.” Elsewhere, the news was glum as the preliminary version of HSBC’s manufacturing index for China fell to a threemonth low of 50.3 from 51.7 in July, indicating that manufacturing businesses are barely growing. Also, the purchasing managers index for the eurozone published by Markit Economics fell to 52.8 from 53.8 in July. The report followed other data earlier this month that showed the 18-country eurozone grew at only a slow pace in August, a sign it remains sluggish after a disappointing second quarter in which it did not expand at all. Meanwhile, the minutes from the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting released Wednesday indicated that the U.S. central bank is in no rush to hike rates. However, the minutes also showed greater dissension among Fed members on how fast the labour market is improving, a key element in determining when the Fed will raise rates from near zero where they’ve been since the financial crisis. Slack in the labour market has been a particular concern, a topic that Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen is expected to address in her speech to the central bank’s economic symposium at the end of the week. The gold sector led decliners, down about 2.6 per cent per cent, as concerns that the Fed could move sooner than expected to hike interest rates and a lessening of tensions in the Ukraine/Russia crisis continued to pummel bullion prices. The December gold contract in New York fell $19.80 to US$1,275.40 an ounce. “We could test the $1,200 to the downside here,” Mills said. “That seems to be in the works and you don’t want to hold gold as rates are going up because it doesn’t pay anything.” The metals and mining segment fell 1.5 per cent with September copper unchanged at US$3.18 a pound. Financials led advancers, up 0.6 per cent a day before Royal Bank (TSX:RY) kicks off a string of earnings reports from the big Canadian banks. The energy sector edged

BRIEFS

Penn West receives noteholder waivers in wake of review of statements CALGARY — Penn West Petroleum Ltd. (TSX:PWT) says holders of its unsecured notes have provided waivers that give the company until at least Oct. 14 to fix defaults arising from the previously announced restatement of its historial financial results. The Calgary-based company announced on July 29 that an internal review going back more than four years had revealed hundreds of millions in expenses had been classified incorrectly. It also said the review would result in a restatement of previous financial reports for at least 2012 and 2013, as well as for the first quarter of 2014. It also has delayed completion of Penn West’s full second-quarter report, which was due Aug. 14. Penn West said Thursday the waiver from unsecured noteholders will extend the cure period for the defaults until Oct. 14, giving the company time to deliver its restated historical and 2014 financial statements. It said the defaults to its unsecured notes don’t relate to financial tests under its agreements. Penn West had previously received waivers from the defaults under its bank lending agreements. It announced on Ayg. 12 that it had access to up to $660 million under the bank facility, of which $250 million had been drawn.

Vancouver to take Trans Mountain pipeline challenge to Federal Court VANCOUVER — The city of Vancouver says it will go to the Federal Court of Appeal on Friday over Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline. The city want a judicial review of whether the National Energy Board should consider climate change in its assessment of the project. Vancouver officials have already asked the board, which said it could not take the global issue into account. The city says it’s not right that the board will consider the broader eco-

nomic benefits of the pipeline expansion but won’t take into account the broader environmental effects. The $5.4-billion expansion project would almost triple the capacity of the current pipeline, from 300,000 barrels of oil a day to almost 900,000 from Alberta to Port Metro Vancouver. The city of Burnaby is also opposed to the proposal and is embroiled in its own dispute with Kinder Morgan over access to city land.

Loonie rises, greenback weakens as strong data raises rate hike expectations TORONTO — The Canadian dollar closed higher Thursday as the greenback weakened somewhat after minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting supported expectations that the central bank could move to hike rates earlier than expected next year. The loonie gained 0.22 of a cent to 91.37 cents US. The American currency lost momentum during the morning amid positive American economic data. The preliminary Markit manufacturing purchasing managers index for the manufacturing sector jumped to a reading of 58 in August from 55.8 in July, its highest level since April 2010. Other data showed U.S. new home sales rose for a fourth straight month to the highest level in nearly a year. The news from Japan was also positive. There was a firm increase in Japan’s manufacturing PMI to 52.4 from 50.5 in the prior month, ahead of expectations and the best level since March. Elsewhere, the news was glum as the preliminary version of HSBC’s manufacturing index for China fell to a three-month low of 50.3 from 51.7 in July, indicating that manufacturing businesses are barely growing. Also, the purchasing managers index for the eurozone published by Markit Economics fell to 52.8 from 53.8 in July.

purpose of said undertaking is to keep the electrical user/generator and their families safe. Issues of safety aside, the suitable system designed for what the homeowner’s current needs and anticipated future requirements will be is a matter of cost control and maximum energy return for dollar spent. If one or all of the system components is too small, then the system will not perform as desired and can possibly present serious hazards that the untrained may fail to recognize.

When installing a photovoltaic array, wind turbine, or any combination of the two, the most important consideration is: do it right, do it once and it will provide a lifetime of low-cost electrical energy.

PULLMAN, Wash. — It may no longer be good enough to hang your food in a tree to keep it away from bears when you go camping, according to a first-of-its-kind study at the Washington State University Bear Research Education and Conservation Center. Some — but not all — grizzlies can use primitive tools to thwart your efforts, veterinary student Alex Waroff found this summer in an experiment assisted by Charlie Robbins, WSU bear centre director, and O. Lynne Nelson, assistant director and professor of cardiology at WSU’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Nelson said the idea for the study came from a report in a peer-reviewed journal of “first tool use” by a brown bear in Alaska. “The bear was observed to pick up a rock or shell and use it to scratch his face,” Nelson said. “Those of us who work with bears read the report and essentially said, ’Really? Is that the best you have?’ ” Nelson said she, and others who work with bears, see evidence of bears manipulating objects for a specific goal all the time — the definition of tool use. “Of course, all of these observations are anecdote,” she said. “So we decided to put this problem-solving skill to standardized research protocol.” The study’s participants are eight grizzly bears — five males and three females — who are challenged to get their paws on a glazed doughnut hung out of reach in their play area on the WSU campus. Researchers place a sawed-off tree stump below the hanging treat to see if the animals will stand on it to reach the object of their desire. Once they do, the stump is turned on its side and moved away from the treat. Researchers observe whether the bears will move it back under the doughnut. So far, researchers have identified one bear — a 9-year-old female — who has become the star of the show. Kio, who was born in the centre in 2005, has sailed through the tasks, while others are still discovering the basics. “She manipulates an inanimate object in several steps to help her achieve a goal, which in this case is to obtain food. This fits the definition of tool use,” Nelson said. She said the value in

A technology that can save lives OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WANTS VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH COLLISION COMMUNICATION can rely on messages sent from other vehicles,” the agency said. Adding the technology to new vehicles or retrofitting existing ones is expected to cost about $100 to $200 per vehicle. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and the Association of Global Automakers praised the technology, but avoided commenting directly on the government’s intention to require the technology in new cars. Instead, both groups urged the Federal Communications Commission to preserve the 5.9 GHz radio frequency for vehicle-to-vehicle communications. The frequency was initially expected to be dedicated to transportation technologies, but the commission has said it is exploring whether that frequency can be used for other wireless demands as well. “We understand the pressing need for additional spectrum and are open to sharing this spectrum if it can be done safely,” said Gloria Bergquist, vice-president for the alliance. “We continue to urge the FCC not to compromise the use of the spectrum until it is definitively established that sharing will not interfere with the safety of the driving public.”

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Monday it is taking a first step toward requiring that future cars and light trucks be equipped with technology that enables them to warn each other of potential danger in time to avoid collisions. A research report released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that the technology could eventually prevent 592,000 left-turn and intersection crashes a year, saving 1,083 lives. The agency said it will begin drafting rules to require the technology in new vehicles. The technology uses a radio signal to continually transmit a vehicle’s position, heading, speed and other information. Similarly equipped cars and trucks Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS would receive the same information, U.S. President Barack Obama tours the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center and their computers would alert drivwith Taylor Lochrane, in McLean, Va.

BEAR: Helps understand the way bears think “This study helps us understand something about the evolution of problem solving in bears and how it compares to other species, including humans. It helps us to understand the way bears think and perhaps how we might anticipate and alter our practices in backcountry places and campgrounds,” Nelson said. She said it also shows how a species may adapt to a changing environment. “Being able to problem solve allows for a species to ’think outside the box’ so to speak. This may be important if habitat and food resources change.” Nelson said she and the other researchers have plans to continue with other bear-related studies after this one is completed in the fall. “People often don’t like to see us feeding the bears sweets such as doughnuts,” she said. “I really appreciate that and I am glad that people care. We do give sweets as special treats, but not as a major part of their diet.”

A story about dementia and much more Elizabeth is Missing By Emma Healey $29.95 Knoff Canada The mind and events that beset it are endlessly interesting and this first novel by Emma Healey adds to the list of recent books on dementia. It is the story of Maud Horsham, an 84-year-old widow whose memory is slipping and sliding away. The story is placed in England and is really two stories in one. Maud lives alone PEGGY in her home, with the daily FREEMAN care of her daughter Helen and other â&#x20AC;&#x153;carersâ&#x20AC;? who come by through the day to see that Maud has not been cooking (leaving the gas on) or shopping (for more canned peaches). In order to keep some control, a system of notes has been developed. Maud carries lots of coloured notes that say such things as â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make teaâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make toastâ&#x20AC;? and, of course, â&#x20AC;&#x153;no more canned peaches.â&#x20AC;? She also writes her own notes and stuffs them in pocket and purse. Maud had a friend named Elizabeth, maybe even her last friend, another senior like herself who, like Elizabeth volunteered at Oxfam until they were both invited to stay home. The two continued their friendship over tea, visiting and watching the birds. But now Elizabeth is missing and Maud has been looking for her. She has looked everywhere and asked every-

one, and now Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house is empty. Maud decides to go to the police. She writes a note to herself. At the police station, she is greeted by name as she has been in every week for some weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh yes,â&#x20AC;? says the constable,â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got every man on the force out, sniffer dogs, forensics, flying squad ... all looking for your friend Elizabeth.â&#x20AC;? He grins. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe her. No one will help. It is not the first time someone in Maudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life has gone missing. When she was 14, her wonderful sister â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sukeyâ&#x20AC;? disappeared. It was the war years. Sukeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband went to London but Sukey was never seen again. Sometimes Maud gets these two disappearances mixed up. The reader is party to Maudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scattered thoughts, the things she sees and the things she thinks she sees. Helen is patient even when Maud does not know her, even when Maud tells her the same thing over and over, even when she shops and brings home more peaches. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough. There is humour here, at least the kind those of us not yet afflicted find amusing. There is the lady at the bus stop with her bottle of gin who has â&#x20AC;&#x153;escapedâ&#x20AC;? from the care-home where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called Peggy, a name she detests. There is already a Margaret in residence. Maud has been strong in the past and steadfast. At the bottom of her scrambled thinking lies a clue. It is the nasty brother of Elizabeth and the loyalty of Maudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search that moves Helen to solve the mystery. This is not just a story of dementia, but an original and fine picture of a woman overcome by sad memories. It is a good book. Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

Novel for readers who love to put together a puzzle An Unwilling Accomplice By Charles Todd HarperCollins In the autumn of 1918, Sister Bess Crawford has just finished returning a convoy of wounded men from the trenches of the First World War safely back to London. With the men dropped off at the hospital, Bess looks forward to having some time to rest and leaving the war behind her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just for only KIRSTEN three days. LOWE But, of course, duty always calls. Before Bess has a single moment to rest she receives orders that she is to attend a wounded man who is to receive a medal from King George at Buckingham Palace early next week. Although this means losing time to relax and rest, Bess looks forward to the honour and is excited to meet the soldier. Sgt. Wilkins was in battle and an enemyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s machine-gun nest has left him with his left leg â&#x20AC;&#x153;a paddled long hump,â&#x20AC;? his right arm in a sling, a bandage encircling his head and having to use an invalid chair. Wilkins gives Bess no troubleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; for he appears to be a kind and respectful man making the day of the audience with the King go by smoothly. The problem arises the next morning when Bess goes into the sergeantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hotel room to find him gone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with no note or signs of a struggle. After sometime searching around the hotel and area, the sergeant is still nowhere to be found. Bess is forced to report the incident to her superiors, who do not take kindly to her â&#x20AC;&#x153;lack of duty.â&#x20AC;? She is then

placed on a two-week suspension, her blood boiling because oh how the sergeant tricked her and damaged her reputation with the War Office, the army and the Queen Alexandraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Imperial Military Nursing Service. Things become uneasy when Insp. Stephens of

Scotland Yard approaches Bess with questions regarding the MIA sergeant. Due to information from another inspector and an eyewitness in the town of Ironbridge, it is suspect that Sgt. Wilkins has committed the murder of Sgt. Henry Lessup. Driven by the need to understand what happened and why, along with restoring her name, Bess takes it upon herself to track down the missing Wilkins with her close friend Sgt.-Maj. Simon Brandon by her side. The journey takes them all over the country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Shrewsbury, Somerset, Derbyshire and Upper Dysoe, to Lower Dysoe. Author Charles Todd has done an excellent job describing the countryside, the towns and the small of clusters of hamlets; from its beauty to the descriptions of the run-down and destroyed ruins. Through their search, Bess and Simon meet a handful of people, all of whom may have a connection to Wilkins. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sister Hammond, a young, naĂŻve woman hopeless for romance. A quarrelling stepmother and stepdaughter, Mrs. Neville and Barbara. Maddie, a doctor who appears to be hiding something, and Maj. Findley, a man with similar injuries and appearance to Wilkins. With time as their enemy and surrounded by people who appear to be keeping a secret, will Bess be able to clear her reputation as â&#x20AC;&#x153;an unwilling accompliceâ&#x20AC;? who helped the sergeant escape? Or is Wilkins a smart and cunning man who out smarted the army, committed murder and got away? Readers who love putting together a puzzle will enjoy this novel. It is full of questions, characters you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust, and it touches on the matter of brave, smart and respectable men who went into the war and came back screaming in the middle of the night with nightmares and injuries that left them forever changed.

The End of Absence, a thoughtful assessment of what is lost in a cluttered digital age THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The End of Absence: Reclaiming What Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Lost in a World of Constant Connection by Michael Harris I fall asleep to the glow of Netflix and, when I awake, begin the digital litany of my day: the relentless email and news, the Facebook and Twitter feeds, the blogs and mindless videos, and on and on. I remember somewhat vaguely when I used pay phones to dictate the story of the day, when an online life was limited to the screeching dial-up of AOL and, as a child, when even that was a foreign idea. Michael Harris offers in his book The End of Absence a fascinating assessment of this moment we inhabit and, for those old enough to remember, highlights the rare opportunity we have to recall what it was like before we filled our day with unstoppable status updates, conversations interrupted by Wikipedia fact checks and the suffocating weight of thousands of emails. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all become so normal that it feels as if we knew all of Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; observations before we read them, though they remain insightful and stunning and frightening. Chances are, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll recognize yourself in Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; writing and note that you, too, enjoyed a life without so much static. Toward the end of his concise work, he takes a monthlong sabbatical leave from the Internet and his cellphone and all their related trappings. He gains no epiphany, though, and offers no sweeping advice for readers. It is, he acknowledges, more meditation than prescription, but it is an illuminating, worthy reckoning of our disjointed, digital life.

The kale craze now creeping into beauty products

51121H22

NEW YORK — Kale has crept out of salads and juicers into beauty products from niche and mainstream sellers. The leafy superfood that many love and others love to hate can now be had in face masks, skin-brightening serums, creams and nail polish, pushed along by the march to healthier living and the frenzy to fend off aging. Kale hasn’t displaced other botanicals, which remain a small segment of the multibillion-dollar beauty industry. There’s a wide range of plant life and consumables in beauty products, but where else would the new darling in greens land if not beauty aisles, spas and websites? A look at kale on the beauty side: NAILKALE Sprawled in ads on a bed of kale, British fashion darling Alexa Chung is the face of Nailkale, a new line of 12 nail shades from London-based Nails Inc. They just launched in the U.K. and will hit U.S. shelves in late August. Nails Inc. founder Thea Green was inspired by a couple of trips to New York City last year. “On one trip we saw a group of very lovely girls walking down the street all drinking their green juices, and no one in London was drinking green juice then,” she said in a recent interview. “Then I heard a woman in a restaurant, a very proper Upper East Side New Yorker, reject her salad because it was rocket (arugula) and not kale. I thought the whole thing was fascinating,” Green said. Green took kale for nails and its vitamins A, C and K to a laboratory and Nailkale was born. “I think they thought I was a bit nutty.” Nutty like a fox. She’s the first to offer kale for nails. SPA SALES Eminence Organic Skin Care sells luxury products to more than 3,000 spas worldwide. With roots in Hungary, that’s where the company headed when it decided to work with kale farmers for two new products. Stephanie Baresh, the brand and product creative director in Vancouver, Canada, said a cold processing method is used on raw kale for the Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Masque.

The Good & Healthy line from the brand owned by The Hain Celestial Group in Lake Success, New York, launched last spring and includes a tinted perfector for combination skin and a daily moisturizer with SPF 15. The suggested retail price is on the low end at $9.99 each, available at Target, Walmart, Whole Foods Markets and drug stores. “History has shown that it’s very common for food trends to trickle into beauty care products,” said Sarah Galusha, director of marketing for Hain. “As consumers learn about the amazing benefits of eating certain superfoods, they start to look for them in their personal care products as well. And the truth is that many superfoods are loaded with phytonutrients, antioxidant vitamins and minerals that happen to be great for replenishing skin.” THE KALE THAT WASN’T Dana Kale in Dallas is co-owner of the small Kale Naturals. Kale and her business partner, Tia Pettijohn, incorporated in 2008. They launched botanical grooming products for men in 2010, ahead of kale mania. There’s no actual kale in Kale Naturals, but the packaging is a nice kale green. The two, with just eight products, hope to add some kale going forward, possibly by next year. The company is still benefiting from the buzz due to its name, which pops up in Internet searches for the kaleinclined. “When we started formulating our products, the naturals market was still a little bit new and so we didn’t even think to put it in there,” Kale said. “I wish that we had. I always tell people, ’Well my blood, sweat and tears are in there, if that helps.”’

Marburg drug works after symptoms start BODES WELL FOR EBOLA DRUG BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

something that works still at the time you have clinical symptoms. And if you translate that back into human disease, normally you don’t get a human into the public health system before they show clinical symptoms,” said Feldmann, who heads the virology lab at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Mont. Feldmann developed an experimental Ebola vaccine while at the Public Health Agency of Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg; this is the vaccine that Canada is donating to the containment effort in West Africa. The vaccine has been shown to save Ebola-infected primates if given shortly after infection. But it has never been shown to save a primate when given as late as Geisbert gave the Marburg drug in this study, said Feldmann in an interview from Monrovia, Liberia, where he is working on the Ebola outbreak response. The Marburg drug targets a strain of that virus called Angola; it was responsible for a 2005 Marburg outbreak in Angola that killed roughly 90 per cent of known cases. But Geisbert said the drug appears to work against other strains of Marburg as well. “It’s cross protective against all the Marburgs that we know of at this time.” Geisbert said the very high doses of virus used in this study speed up the disease course in the primates. So Day 3 post infection might actually be more like Day 6 or 7 for a person. He said work will be done to see if the drug remains effective if given later still.

TORONTO — An experimental drug for the Marburg virus appears to be able to beat back the often fatal infection even when given several days after exposure, a new study in primates suggests. The drug, called TKM-Marburg, is made by Tekmira Pharmaceuticals of Burnaby, B.C., and uses the same mode of action as the company’s experimental Ebola therapeutic, TKM-Ebola. Marburg and Ebola are different — though related — members of the filovirus family. The fact that the Marburg drug appears to work when given late provides additional hope the same may be true about TKM-Ebola, some experts suggest. But the company itself was cautious on that front.

Not just a flight of fancy RED DEER ARTISTS USE FRIEZES, SCULPTURES TO FOSTER AN APPRECIATION OF BIRDS BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF In this hyper-kinetic age, two Red Deer artists are using stillness to try to capture children’s attention and help foster an appreciation of nature. Dawn Detarando and Brian McArthur have created a series of bird friezes and sculptures in white porcelain as a travelling art/education exhibit commissioned by the Alberta Foundation for the Arts TREX program. The crisp details and simplicity of the artworks capture various aspects of birds and their habitats. The display, which is only showing until Wednesday at Marjorie Wood Gallery in the Kerry Wood Nature Centre, sometimes offers viewers a whimsical look at avian life. But it also offers an underlying message about preservation. The cameo-like works are reminiscent of the ancient marble art of Greece or Rome. But, unlike classical sculptures that were initially painted before they faded to white, Detarando and McArthur had no intention of using glazes or paints to capture colourful bird plumage. “It would have obliterated the details,” said Detarando, who lives and works with McArthur in the Voyager Art and Tile Studio, just south of Red Deer. “We think the (unpainted porcelain) brings a different aspect to it.” McArthur likes the way light hits the whiteness, casting interesting shadows. “It really captures the detail of the carved feathers and eyes.” The artists chose the hard medium because it allows them to carve in sharp relief, and also provides an interesting contrast. While birds are warm, soft and natural, the porcelain is cold and unyielding. The artists describe it as a “manufactured emblem of civilization.” Viewers are led to observe shape, form and texture in dimensional detail in Bird Frieze: New Works in Porcelain — from the multitude of mountain ash berries depicted around cedar waxwings, to the protruding beaks and open mouths of a nest full of barn swallows. Nearly all of the subjects depicted, including woodpeckers, nuthatches, ducks, chickadees, ravens, shrikes and a kingfisher, are regularly seen in the forest around the artists’ studio. “We have a great backyard and we often watch the birds,” said Detarando. “They are something we have a great appreciation for.” The artist sees the feathered fliers as survivors that are constantly having to overcome challenges. “They have made so many adaptations and live in so many different types of environments,” said Detarando. One of three sculptures in the dis-

It shows an adult bird perched on the blade of a chainsaw, while its chicks are in a nest on top of the chainsaw motor. McArthur, who once saw eastern king birds nesting on top of a drill pipe, said he intended this sculpture is a metaphor for habitat loss. A frieze, Kitty a Serious Threat, alludes to millions of songbirds that die every year in the clutches of wandering cats. Other works include a sculpture of the late local author and naturalist Kerry Wood, with a chickadee perching on his binoculars. In White-Breasted Nuthatch and Birch Trees, a bird and tree trunks extend out of the frieze and onto the wooden frame. An educational component of the exhibit, which will travel around the province for the next two years (next stop is the Medicine Hat College campus in Brooks), asks viewers to match

various adaptations of bills and bird feet. There are also booklets and lesson plans for teachers who choose to use the display as a jumping off point for classroom projects and discussions. Detarando believes children, as well as many adults, have been getting

further removed from nature. And she feels this is a shame, since birds are our close neighbours. “We don’t get to speak with each other, but we get to observe each other ... birds are captivating, maybe because they seem so free.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR

An acquired taste At the BY STEPHANIE MERRY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For Two stars (out of four) Rated: R Last month, director James Gunn turned a comic book story into the movie hit of the summer. Guardians of the Galaxy has raked in hundreds of millions of dollars, making fans out of people who had never heard of the Marvel series. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is not that kind of comic book adaptation. Director Robert Rodriguez first brought Sin City to the screen nine years ago, and here, he has turned more of Frank Miller’s brutally violent stories into a stylishly constructed neo-noir nightmare. Both Sin City films are for a niche audience that can handle copious amounts of eye-gouging, dismemberment, finger-breaking, decapitation and self-inflicted slicing. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is as visually imaginative as its predecessor. It’s almost entirely in black and white, with the exception of periodic pops of

In Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, director Robert Rodriguez has turned more of Frank Miller’s violent stories into a stylishly constructed neo-noir nightmare. Among the returning characters is Dwight (Josh Brolin, taking over for Clive Owen), a private investigator with a moral code. color — a halo of orange curls, a blue coat, a river of blood — and most of the action was shot against a green screen, so the finished product is a slick hybrid of live action and animation. Part sequel, part prequel, the movie doesn’t exactly pick up where the last one left off. The chronology is as hazy as the smoke-filled Kadie’s, a seedy strip club where the characters hang out. A man who died in the last movie reappears, very much alive, while others remain dead. One even shows up as a ghost. Among the returning characters: Dwight (Josh Brolin, taking over for Clive Owen), a private investigator with a moral code; Marv (Mickey Rourke), a pill-popping bouncer with Hulk-like tendencies; the good-natured stripper Nancy (Jessica Alba); and the grotesquely villainous Sen. Roark (Powers Boothe, oozing evil). Like the first movie, Dame is a se-

ries of vignettes, and the name of the game in these stories is revenge. Slick operator Johnny (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) has it out for Roark, as does Nancy, but for very different reasons. Dwight, meanwhile, has a score to settle with the one who got away, Ava (Eva Green). Marv doesn’t really have any revenge plots to speak of, though he’s always happy to lend a hand when violence is involved. And there’s plenty of violence. It’s all very stylized, with a gunshot producing a waterfall of white spouting from a character’s back, or a samurai sword sending heads flying. But the audience still groaned during a recent screening when one character relieved another of an eyeball. The sound effects are sickeningly visceral and far more realistic. Where Sin City was equally vicious, it also was quite funny at times. A Dame to Kill For feels less incisive and

sillier. Maybe the novelty of hearing characters use 1940s-style verbiage has worn thin, or maybe the inner monologues, filled with some really lame lines, is to blame. (“An atom bomb goes off between my legs,” Dwight says after being kicked in the groin.) And the sequel isn’t nearly as exciting or visionary. The aesthetic quality is still there, even if there haven’t been too many great leaps since Rodriguez unveiled Sin City in 2005. But the stories aren’t nearly as engrossing. Fans of Miller’s work will, of course, see the movie, and they won’t care about curious leaps in time or dialogue that might look better on the page than it sounds out loud. This isn’t going to reach a Guardians-size audience. Then again, Rodriguez, who’s a huge fan of Miller’s work, probably didn’t intend for it to. Stephanie Merry is a Washington Post movie critic.

One tough detective, hardly any guns BY WILLA PASKIN BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Crime shows, by and large, can be split into two categories: the whodunits and the look-at-this-horrible-tragicmesses. In the first category, which contains everything from Law & Order and CSI to Twin Peaks and True Detective, the propulsive engine of the plot is: Who is the killer? Drawing on the genre thrills of the mystery, these series turn the audience into clue-hunting detectives. The best whodunits, of which True Detective and Twin Peaks are examples, leave us with more gutpunching takeaways than just the identity of a murderer, but those unsettling lessons come packaged in a compulsively watchable story structure. The look-at-this-horrible-tragicmesses are series in which the killer or criminal is known — if not to the hero or heroine, at least to the audiencefrom the very start of the show. These include Fargo, The Fall and Netflix’s new gritty and entrancing British import Happy Valley, a six-episode miniseries available in its entirety starting Wednesday. These series get a jolt of frisson out of the cat-and-mouse of it all: Will the hero be able to catch the bad guy, and in time? But they are, generally speaking, much more leisurely (and less highly rated) than whodunits. Knowing who the killer is, we, the audience, can stop clue-hunting and take a look around — typically at very bleak surroundings. Happy Valley is set in one of the Yorkshire valleys in Northern England, and the title is meant extremely ironically. The series was written by Sally Wainwright and stars Sarah Lancashire as Catherine Cawood, a police sergeant with a complex past that she cheekily exposits in the first scene while dealing with one of the area’s many, many drug addicts. The proliferation of drugs — dispensed, in one memorable scene, from an ice cream truck — is not the subject of the show so much as its unyielding backdrop.

Cawood explains that beat cops like herself are kept uninformed by higherups about where and how the drugs are coming into the city, but are still expected to deal with the day-to-day ramifications of endemic addiction and poverty. Her complaints are not, as they might be in an American series (or perhaps will be in the recently ordered second season of “Happy Valley”), signs that she is about to start cracking a vast drug conspiracy. It’s just another grim indication of the vast and unmanageable problems that she faces every day. The violence gets personal and exacting and it lasts a long time. There are no swift, distancing bullets. Cawood, additionally, has a very dark past of her own. Her teenage daughter was impregnated by a rapist and, after having the child, killed herself. Cawood decided to raise her grandson, now an elementary schoolage boy named Ryan with temper problems, even though doing so cost her both her marriage and her relationship with her own son. The young man who raped Cawood’s daughter, Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton, another very handsome sociopath), was never charged or convicted for it; he went to prison on drug charges instead. As the series begins, he’s just been paroled. Cawood immediately becomes fixated on keeping track of him, an obsession that begins to pay dividends as Royce, barely out of prison, gets caught up in the series’ major storyline, a kidnapping gone very, very wrong. If this all sounds much too bleak, well, I’m not sure there is one shot in full sunshine in the entire show. But Lancashire’s Cawood is not a dreary character: She’s funny, caring, flawed, full of moxie, and a little unhinged. She is the kind of woman who feels compelled to help in situations where helping may be both pushy and dangerous. She is self-aware and acerbic even as she is occasionally out of control. After Royce’s release, Cawood’s sister, a recovering heroin addict (Downton Abbey’s Siobhan Finneran, aka

Photo by ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

Sarah Lancashire plays Catherine Cawood in Happy Valley. O’Brien, but totally unrecognizable), cautions Cawood that she doesn’t seem to be dealing with the situation rationally. Cawood scoffs. How could she possibly be rational? She’s just trying to be “effective.” Over the course of the case, she puts herself into physical danger again and again. And she never got the memo about the superior strength of men: Cawood is the sort of woman who will try and lift a strapping young man up by his lapel and takes pride in the occasional black eye. But as the show goes on, the violence mounts, and it can be remarkably bracing-in a way distinct from many American shows: There are almost no guns. The police officers appear to carry none. The criminals don’t either. The violence gets personal and exacting and it lasts a long time. There are no swift, distancing bullets. Happy Valley, like Broadchurch and The Fall (also from the U.K.) as well as

The Killing and The Bridge (two Scandinavian shows) — not to mention the mother of them all, Prime Suspect — suggests just how much story can still be found in the life of a middle-aged, female law enforcement official, a less played-out counterpart to the grizzled, seen-it-all-detective. Motherhood is, unshowily, one of the recurring motifs of Happy Valley. Tommy Royce, whose drug-addicted mother we see a number of times, is the product of absent and terrible parenting. And Cawood is raising a small boy whom she worries may have some of his father in him — how else to explain all those tantrums? Her decision to keep caring for Ryan is not unlike her decision to keep doing her job every day, a knowing act of vulnerability. If everything’s already a horrible-tragic-mess, she can only improve the situation. Paskin is Slate’s TV critic. This column is provided by the Washington Post.

Barnes & Noble, Samsung Drama hits South Africa’s introduce new blockbuster soap opera reading-focused tablet after cast goes on strike, then is fired BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Barnes & Noble and Samsung unveiled a new reading-focused tablet that will replace the bookseller’s own Nook tablets. The 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook will sell for $179, the same entry price of the non-branded Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. The move had been expected since Barnes & Noble said in June it would team up with Samsung to release cobranded Nook tablets in August. For the first time, the Nook will have a camera. The 1.3 megapixel camera on the front is on par with what’s on other tablets, but the 3.0 megapixel rear one isn’t as sharp. The Nook offers access to both the Nook app store and Google’s Play store for Android apps — the latter unavailable in previous Nook tablets. The New York company spent years investing in its Nook e-book reader and e-book library, but they struggled to be profitable. And in December the chain said it was evaluating the future of its tablets. Still it offered a new non-tablet ebook reader during the holiday season. In an interview, Barnes & Noble CEO Mike Huseby said Nook tablets hadn’t done well in the past because they weren’t full-featured. his one, he said, has a camera and other features expected in Android

tablets, while offering additional ones targeted at readers. While it’s possible to install a Nook app on most Android tablets, the Nook tablet goes further in offering a home screen with quick links to favourites and recently read books. You can pause reading to check email or Facebook, then hit a book icon on the corner of the home screen to instantly resume your book. Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablets also emphasize reading, alongside shopping, movies and other Amazon services. They have had more success than Nooks. Huseby said Barnes & Noble has the advantage of having more than 600 stores where customers can come in to check out the products before buying and return for tutorials and other help. “Amazon doesn’t have them,” he said. “You can call them on the phone or chat online, but they don’t have a store in which you can get a human contact and expert bookseller.” B&N has been trying to turn itself around as competition from discount stores and online retailers toughens, and as consumers shift away from traditional books to digital formats. Barnes & Noble says it will continue to make and sell its $99 Nook GlowLight e-readers. In July, Barnes & Noble said it would separate the Nook and retail businesses.

Come in

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Generations, a hugely popular soap opera in South Africa, first aired in 1993, a year before the nation’s first all-race elections ended apartheid. Now the future of this television staple followed by millions is up in the air. The producers fired the star-studded cast this week after they went on strike for more pay. Sixteen actors had complained they were “struggling actors” while the production house and state broadcaster SABC raked in big profits from a show that has been compared to the American soaps, The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of our Lives. A generation of South Africans is hooked on the intrigue, romance and clashing ambition that spice “Generations,” whose characters from the black South African middle class conspire and manoeuvre in the advertising world. So the off-screen drama delivered a national jolt. Even South Africa’s ruling party, which took power the year after “Generations” started, expressed alarm. In a statement, the party urged the labour and communications ministers to find an amicable solution to the dispute at the country’s “longest-running and much-loved soapie.” Nathi Mthethwa, the arts and culture minister, issued a similar appeal on Wednesday, saying the show had “contributed to the development and growth of South African talent and the film industry.” The characters in Generations reflect an upwardly mobile slice of life in democratic South Africa, even if many viewers can only aspire to it because of the hard reality of high un-

employment and economic inequality. The dispute over actors’ pay also has parallels beyond the studio; labour relations have been fraught in mining, where conditions are a lot tougher, and other industries. Despite the firings, the show will continue because “there were other actors before, there will be other actors in the future,” executive producer Mfundi Vundla said in an interview with Radio 702, a South African news outlet. Pre-recorded episodes will run to October, Vundla said. Asked about the actors’ grievances, he said that 12 cast members at “Generations” had been among the 20 highest-paid actors in South Africa. Without providing details, the actors said they were actually paid below industry standards. The cast’s demands had included extended contracts and royalties for episodes that were shown again, according to South African media. “We live in a country that is notorious for artists living and dying in a state of poverty, tragically, never managing to earn what is their due, despite being associated with a number of successful projects,” the actors said in a statement before they were fired. The dismissed actors include Sophie Ndaba, who played the lively Queen Moroka character and had been with the show from the beginning, and Menzi Ngubane, who acted as Sibusiso Dlomo, a mogul with a villainous streak. SABC, which airs “Generations,” was under scrutiny before the cast was fired. The state ombudsman released a report this year that cited alleged mismanagement by Hlaudi Motsoeneng, who is currently chief operating officer; the SABC board, however, said there was no reason to discipline him.

BY ANN HORNADAY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Buddy MacMaster, the beloved fiddler who sparked a renewed appreciation for traditional Cape Breton music and inspired a new generation of talent, died Thursday. He was 89. Celebrated internationally, he was perhaps nowhere more revered than in his home region of Cape Breton, where he was considered a generous mentor remembered for his distinct playing style. “He’s been the most famous of the Cape Breton fiddlers,’’ said his niece and renowned fiddler Natalie MacMaster. “When I travel around and announce off the stage that Buddy MacMaster is my uncle, everybody cheers.’’ Born in Timmins, Ont., Hugh Allan MacMaster moved to Cape Breton, where he took up the fiddle when he was 11 years old. He became a sought-after musician, renowned for his flair for playing traditional folk dance music. MacMaster was made a member of the Order of Canada in 2001 when he was formally recognized with helping lead a Gaelic renaissance, both in Canada and abroad. His citation for the honour says he began playing the fiddle as a child after finding his father’s instrument in a trunk. Earlier this year, MacMaster joined the ranks of music giants Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and fellow Canadian Stan Rogers when he was awarded the prestigious International Folk Alliance Lifetime Achievement Award for his legacy and impact as a traditional musician. “He was able to illustrate through performances and through his character that this music is a wonderful gift that we have to celebrate,’’ said Sheldon MacInnes, a retired teacher and Celtic music researcher at Cape Breton University. “Preserving the music and sharing it and performing it will be another part of his legacy.’’ MacInnes credited MacMaster, who lived in Judique, N.S., on Cape Breton’s west coast, for setting a new standard in Cape Breton fiddle music. “He would want to play well, he would want to play correctly and he would want to share that with the fiddler community,’’ said MacInnes, who wrote the 2007 biography, Buddy MacMaster: The Judique Fiddler. Politicians in Nova Scotia expressed their sympathies after hearing of MacMaster’s death. “He’s been an extraordinary ambassador for this province, for our culture,’’ said Premier Stephen McNeil. “It’s a sad day for the province.’’ Cape Breton NDP member Frank Corbett described MacMaster as the face of Celtic music. “He helped make the genre popular,’’ Corbett said in a statement. “It’s really no stretch to say that Buddy MacMaster did for fiddle playing what Eric Clapton did for the electric guitar.’’ MacMaster’s son Allan is the Tory member of the legislature for Inverness. Natalie MacMaster said she studied her uncle’s musical techniques or “Buddy-isms’’ while growing up, saying they had an incredible impact on how she developed as a musician. “His legacy is the gift, the eternal imprint he’s left on the Cape Breton fiddle style, the gift that he’s given the world by his generosity with his music and the incredible human being that he was,’’ she said. “If heaven is for anyone, it’s for Buddy MacMaster.’’

If I Stay 2.5 stars (out of four) Rated PG Viewers who luxuriated in a good cry after The Fault in Our Stars may be gratified to know that it’s not time to stop sobbing. The perfect bookend to a tear-stained summer, If I Stay has arrived in theatres with the same good taste, modest cool factor and shameless tear-jerking that made its predecessor such a multi-hankie hit. If I Stay, which was adapted by R.J. Cutler (A Perfect Candidate,The September Issue) from Gayle Forman’s novel, hews largely to the same formula as The Fault in Our Stars: An attractive young couple grapples with first love and looming mortality against a scenic backdrop, the mechanics of sexual awakenings safely couched in softfocus ellipses (“Adam, I’ve never ...”). As in The Fault in Our Stars, this story is told from the point of view of an exceptionally self-aware young woman staring down impending death. Here, though, she’s anxiously watching over herself as she lies in a coma, trying to decide whether life is still worth living after nearly losing it and everything else in a horrifying car crash. It’s a maudlin, potentially mawkish setup, but first-time feature director Cutler and his screenwriter, Shauna Cross, put an amber glow on even the toughest aspects of a story in which everything is just about perfect (until it most decidedly isn’t). Chloe Grace Moretz plays Mia Hall, a 17-year-old cello prodigy whose happy, laidback life with her former punk-rocker parents is upended when she meets a handsome guitarist named Adam (Jamie Blackley). Their mildly piquant romance — she idolizes Yo-Yo Ma, he’s more of a Ramones guy — is of the classic opposites-attract variety, spiced by dashes of O. Henry’s lyrical irony. At a Halloween party, eager to please each other, she dons a platinum wig as Debbie Harry and he comes dressed as Beethoven. It’s all played for minimum dramatic tension and maximum aestheticized wish fulfilment, heightened by Cutler’s tendency to film everything slightly out of focus and Cross’s to write fuzzy-wuzzy dialogue like “Adam, that song was great.”

THE DIRTIEST WORD IN ROMANCE – FRIENDS

DANIEL RADCLIFFE

A FILM BY

ZOE KAZAN MEGAN PARK ADAM DRIVER MICHAEL DOWSE Director of “Goon”

51252H22

INSPIRED A GENERATION OF CAPE BRETON MUSICIANS

Even more idealized is Mia’s family, headed by a mom and dad who clearly trained at the Pitchfork School for Cool Hipster Parenting. Played with warmth and easy understatement by Mireille Enos and Joshua Leonard, Mia’s ’rents casually namecheck Iggy Pop and Kim Gordon as they roam around their brightly painted Portland bungalow, bedecked with the requisite number of cred-signifying posters and musical detritus. It’s all too flawless to be believed — we never see Mia argue with her parents, much less with her Alice Cooper-quoting little brother — but the colourful, cozy domestic portrait makes it that much more unsettling when, on a snowy road one day, it all comes to a shatteringly violent end. If I Stay toggles between two worlds: Mia’s desperate, barefooted sojourn at the hospital and flashbacks to the life she may or may not decide to leave behind. Although the emotionalism begins to drag the narrative down as her anguished vigil goes on and on and on, Cutler smoothly navigates Mia’s double-sided experience, albeit in a way that recalls the Nashville episodes he has directed more than the ethereal otherworldliness of, say, The Lovely Bones. Moretz, best known for her spiky, moodily effective turns in such tough films as Kick-Ass and Let Me In, submerges her most interesting contours in service to a blandly edge-free character. Blackley is slightly more convincing as the sweaty, discreetly pierced frontman of an on-the-rise, safely pseudo hard-rockin’ band. Granted, the group isn’t channeling Joey Ramone as much as the pop heartthrob du jour. But the musical sequences — including an impromptu Smashing Pumpkins jam in Mia’s back yard — bring some welcome verve to talky scenes of soulful heart-to-hearts and teary hand-wringing. Rest assured, there’s plenty of that, too, in If I Stay. But even at its most wrenchingly painful, the film readily delivers generous dollops of pleasure. Ann Hornaday is a syndicated Washington Post film critic.

KORPINISKI Victoria In loving memory of Victoria “Vicki” Korpiniski who passed away peacefully with family by her side on August 20, 2014 from the Rimbey Long Term Care Centre at the age of 84. Vicki was born in Cochrane, Alberta to Marie and Kost Block. She lived in Nordegg, Nisku and Rocky Mountain House. Vicki had waitressed on and off for many years and had worked at the Waterton Lakes Chateau Hotel, then moved to Red Deer where she met and married Paul Korpiniski on August 8, 1951. She also joined the Moose Hall and was a dedicated member for 35 years. Mom’s passion was Bingo and gardening, but she also loved to go to dances. Mom thoroughly enjoyed attending functions for the Guide and Outfitter’s Association and the Fish and Game Association. Mom was also an active member of the Gun Club in Red Deer where she enjoyed going to the gun range to shoot her pistols. She was feisty both on and off the range. She lived on the north hill when she raised her 4 children and later on in lower Fairview. Vicki loved cats and always had pets. She enjoyed spending time at Teddy and Wendy’s acreage in Rimbey. In Vicki’s later years, her home was Parkland Manor in Rimbey, Alberta. Vicki was predeceased by her husband Paul (Dec 23, 1996). Vicki will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her 4 children, Teddy (Wendy) Korpiniski of Rimbey, AB, Virginia Korpiniski of Chilliwack, BC, Kelly Korpiniski of Edmonton, AB and Sam Korpiniski of Lethbridge, AB; as well as 8 cherished grandchildren, Kelsey (Carrie) and Jessie, Brandy (Mark) and Kady (Dustin), Robert (Lindsey) and Jantzen, Gina and Travis; 2 great grandchildren, Marley and Mailkai; her brother, Walter (Millie) Block of Jasper, AB; as well as nieces, nephews, other relatives and a host of long time friends.

EPP Luella Gertrude Luella slipped peacefully into the presence of the Lord on August 17, 2014 in Three Hills, AB, following a brief illness. Luella was born to Isaac and Gertrude Schroeder on November 21, 1923 at their farm near Main Centre, Sask the 14th of 16 children. She Graduated from High School in Herbert Saskatchewan and then took teacher’s training in Regina. After teaching for one year at Ebenezer, Sask, she spent three years in religious studies, graduating from Canadian Bible College (Regina) in 1947. Later that same year she married the love of her life, H. Theodore (Ted) Epp. They were each other’s “best friend” for over 67 years. During the 1950’s, two daughters, Beverley and Brenda were born. Luella moved with her husband as his job demanded, living in Winnipeg, Regina, Swift Current, Calgary and back to Regina. Luella loved singing, sewing, and working in her kitchen, and family was a high priority for her. She blessed many with the work of her hands. In her mid-30’s she went thru two surgeries for breast cancer. That she survived, is a miracle of God and a testimony to her courage. In 1972 a move to Kelowna was made to begin what became a successful business - Dorella Sewing Centre. Retirement brought a move to Abbotsford in 1988 and then to Red Deer in 1995 to be close to both daughters and their families. May 26th this year they moved to Golden Hills Lodge in Three Hills. She left us unexpectedly and we will miss her. She was predeceased by all of her siblings. Luella will be lovingly remembered by her husband Ted, her two daughters, Beverley (Roger) McIver and Brenda (Don) Pearsall-Jansen, 7 Grandchildren, Paul (Chantelle) McIver, Bryan (Lisa) McIver, Leanne (Colin) Axelsen, Chad (Chantrelle) Pearsall, Amy McIver, Branden (Tiffany) Pearsall and Tyson (Janessa) Pearsall, as well as 10 Great-Grandchildren, and numerous extended family. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:30pm on Monday, August 25th, 2014 at Deerpark Alliance Church in Red Deer, AB. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Gideon’s Bible Society. Internment will be in Three Hills. Condolences may be sent to the family at condolences@sunsetltd.ca

Liberian slum sealed off TO STOP SPREAD OF EBOLA AS HUNDREDS LINE UP FOR RICE, WATER

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONROVIA, Liberia — Government officials handed out bags of rice and sachets of drinking water Thursday to residents of an impoverished slum in Liberia’s capital where tens of thousands of people have been barricaded in an effort to stop the spread of Ebola. International aid workers warned that more help was needed as the country battles not only the virulent disease but also hunger as travel restrictions have blocked food from getting to parts of the seaside capital. In the tense township of West Point, hundreds of residents lined up to receive government provisions a day after authorities put up barbed wire barricades and enforced a blockade of the area that kept market traders from entering or leaving. Prices were skyrocketing inside the community on a peninsula, with the price of water quadrupling in a matter of days in the slums where there is no clean running water amid steamy temperatures. “At the moment West Point is stuck at a standstill and is in an anarchy situation,” said Moses Browne, who works for aid group Plan International in Liberia. “We need food, we need water,” he said, appealing for international support. “We’re not just fighting Ebola here, we are fighting hunger too.” On Wednesday, residents of West Point clashed with police and soldiers hours after the neighbourhood was sealed off, furious that they were being blamed and cut off from markets and jobs. The situation calmed down on Thursday, though fears remain

about how much food and water will be brought into the half-mile-long (kilometre-long) peninsula. By afternoon, hundreds of anxious residents lined up at the food distribution point to await their rations. The World Food Program said it would also begin distributing food in the area in the coming days. Liberia is being hit especially hard by the dreaded virus that has killed 1,350 people in West Africa, accounting for 576 of the deaths. Several counties and districts in Sierra Leone and Liberia have been cordoned off, and there are concerns this is slowing the supply of food and other goods to these areas. The World Food Program is preparing to feed 1 million people affected by such travel restrictions. In the United States, two aid workers who were infected in Liberia have recovered and were discharged from a hospital. Both Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol had received ZMapp, an experimental and unproven treatment for Ebola. Three health workers are currently receiving the same treatment in Liberia — the first and so far only Africans to get the drug. They were showing “very positive signs of recovery,” Liberia’s information ministry said earlier this week. A Spaniard who had contracted Ebola and also received the treatment died. The drug supply is now exhausted, the U.S. manufacturer has said. Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone who is sick and showing symptoms. To stop its spread, experts say, the sick should be isolated and not have any contact with the healthy. Overcrowded

U.S. National Park Service considers moving grizzly bears into Washington’s North Cascades BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — The National Park Service said Thursday it will consider moving grizzly bears into the North Cascade Mountains of Washington state to aid their recovery. The agency is launching a threeyear process to study a variety of options for helping their population. Director Jonathan B. Jarvis stressed that the process is required under federal law but no decision had been made. Native American tribes and conservation groups have pressed for years for the federal government to do more to bring back the bears. “It marks the potential turning point in the decades-long decline of the last grizzly bears remaining on the U.S. West Coast,” Joe Scott, international conservation director of Conservation Northwest, said in a written statement. “Without recovery efforts, these bears may soon be gone forever.” Numerous grizzly bears roamed north-central Washington state in the past, but early settlers and trappers killed thousands for fur in the mid-19th century. The region’s booming population has also encroached on their habitat. The tribes have cited their cultural connection to the bears in urging their preservation. Federal authorities listed the griz-

zly bear as threatened in the lower 48 states in 1975 and ultimately designated five areas in Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming to focus on boosting the population. A small population of grizzlies exists in Washington’s Selkirk Mountains, and the park service says the animals have been seen recently in the Cascades north of the Canadian border. But they haven’t been seen in the Washington Cascades in years. Officials have been looking hard, too. In the past three years, they’ve set up “hair-snare” traps — basically bait surrounded by stretches of barbed wire that snag samples of a bear’s hair — in about one-third of the North Cascades region. The traps have produced many samples of black bear hair, as confirmed by DNA tests, but no grizzly hair, said Bob Everitt, northwest Washington regional director of the state Fish and Wildlife Department. “It doesn’t mean there aren’t grizzly bears, but it sure suggests they’re pretty rare,” Everitt said. In 1997, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service added a chapter on the North Cascades to its grizzly bear recovery plan. The document said that within five years, authorities should evaluate options for recovering bears in the region, which covers a 9,800-squaremile swath of north-central Washington state.

Residents from an area close to the West Point Ebola center, protest as they are not allowed to enter the area leading to their homes, after Liberia security forces blocked roads, as the government clamps down on the movement of people to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus in the city of Monrovia, Liberia, Wednesday. Security forces deployed Wednesday to enforce a quarantine around a slum in the Liberian capital, stepping up the government’s fight to stop the spread of Ebola and unnerving residents. treatment centres, reluctance on the part of sick people to seek medical care, and burial practices that involve touching the dead have helped fuel the disease’s spread. A number of airlines have suspended flights to the affected countries, despite the World Health Organization’s

advice that Ebola is unlikely to spread through air travel. Guinea’s president, Alpha Conde, met airline representatives and foreign diplomats on Wednesday to reassure them that Guinea is screening passengers leaving the country for fever and other symptoms, in line with WHO recommendations.

U.S. ebola survivor thanks drug, doctors for saving his life BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — Calling it a “miraculous day,” an American doctor infected with Ebola left his isolation unit and warmly hugged his doctors and nurses on Thursday, showing the world that he poses no public health threat one month after getting sick with the virus. Dr. Kent Brantly and his fellow medical missionary, Nancy Writebol, who was quietly discharged two days earlier, are still weak but should recover completely, and no one need fear being in contact with them, said Dr. Bruce Ribner, who runs the infectious disease unit at Emory University Hospital. Brantly’s reappearance was festive and celebratory, a stark contrast to his arrival in an ambulance under police escort three weeks earlier, when he shuffled into the hospital wearing a bulky white hazardous materials suit. “I am thrilled to be alive, to be well, and to be reunited with my family,” Brantly said, choking up as he read a written statement. Then he and his wife turned and hugged a parade of doctors and nurses, hugging or shaking hands with each one. For some, it was their first direct contact without protective gear. After Brantly, 33, and Writebol, 59, were infected while working with Ebola victims in Liberia, their charity organizations, Samaritan’s Purse and SIM, reached out to top infectious disease experts for help. Working connections, they obtained one of only five courses available worldwide of an experimental drug known as Zmapp, and Brantly and Writebol split the doses before being evacuated to Atlanta. The other four were later given to a Spanish priest, who died, and three doctors in Africa, who have been improving. Writebol’s son, Jeremy Writebol, spent two weeks at the hospital with her but left Tuesday morning. “I haven’t given her a hug yet, I am anxious to do that, but we are waiting for the right time and for her to be able to be with us,” he said in a telephone interview. He said his mother is able to move around, eat and drink normally. Brantly didn’t take questions at Thursday’s news conference, but he did briefly describe how they confronted Ebola back in Liberia. He said aid workers had begun “preparing for the worst” after learning of the outbreak in March, and saw their first patient in June. Soon, many more arrived. He said his team took all the precautions they could. After his wife and children returned to the U.S. for a family wedding, he focused on work, moving patients to a bigger isolation unit. Three days later, he woke up feeling sick, and was diagnosed with the disease. “As I lay in my bed in Liberia for the following nine days, getting sicker and weaker each day, I prayed that God would help me to be faithful even in my illness,” Brantly said. “Through the care of the Samaritan’s Purse and SIM missionary team in Liberia, the use of an experimental drug, and the expertise and resources of the health care team at Emory University Hospital, God saved my life.” His doctors cautioned that it’s unclear whether the drug or a blood transfusion Brantly got from a young Ebola survivor in Africa was helpful

Ebola victim Dr. Kent Brantly looks on during a news conference after being released from Emory University Hospital, Thursday, in Atlanta. Another American aid worker, Nancy Writebol, who was also infected with the Ebola virus, was released from the hospital Tuesday. or hurtful. The drug is so novel that it hasn’t been tested in people, and might not have made any difference at all. “Experimental means exactly that. They are the very first individuals to have received this treatment and frankly we do not know,” Ribner said. Both patients were discharged after their medical team made sure they won’t infect others. Their blood tested clean of the virus, which is spread only through direct contact with the bodily fluids of sick people experiencing symptoms. Ebola survivors generally are not contagious once they’ve recovered. Neither survivor is saying what they’ll do next. Ribner said there’s no concern of a relapse, “and in fact we would anticipate immunity from this virus if they were treating patients during this outbreak.” There is a huge gap between the top-flight care these Americans got at Emory, where a crew of five infectious disease experts and 21 nurses provided rigorous care, and West Africa, where the virus has killed more than 1,300 people and counting, and even such basics as sterile fluids can be in short supply. Treating these two patients has already given doctors insights into how to better care for Ebola patients anywhere. For example, they now believe common fluid-replacement measures may not have enough of certain nutrients patients need to recover. Emory physicians say they have begun sharing their findings to other doctors, and hope to publish in a medical journal. At least 2,473 people have been sickened in this outbreak — more than the caseloads of all the previous two-dozen Ebola outbreaks combined, according to the World Health Organization. Though health officials repeatedly have said the chance of a large Ebola outbreak is very low in the U.S., a Harvard telephone survey released Thursday suggests people are worried. About 40 per cent said they are very or somewhat concerned a large U.S. outbreak will occur within the next year.

Frustrated with noisy neighbour Dear Annie: Here’s my problem: 400-pound barbells dropped in my neighbour’s garage.

Each drop of the barbells is MITCHELL deafening and & SUGAR jolts our home. I have talked to “the athletes,” and they don’t care.

We have asked the police to stop the barbell noise, but they tell us people in our subdivision can make noise until 8 p.m. Waiting for this agonizing racket ev-

ANNIE ANNIE

ery night, day after day, is enough to make me sick. My nerves are in shreds. When a homeowner receives no help from the police, what can I do? I am an 82-year-old woman, and I have tinnitus, which causes loud ringing in my head. Since my neighbours started their weight-dropping routine, it has become worse. Do you have any suggestions other than suing them?— Going Deaf in Michigan Dear Michigan: If the noise ordinance says they can drop weights until 8 p.m., you have no cause to sue them over that. However, if your doctor can document that your tinnitus is worse because of the noise emanating from their garage, you may have a case. In the meantime, please do what you can to muffle these sounds. Put a fan in your room. Turn on the television or radio. Wear earplugs. Even better, get out of the house until 8 p.m. Even though it’s late, you aren’t going to be able to relax anyway. So go for a walk with your husband, a friend, a relative or another neighbour.

Staying home and fuming helps no one. Dear Annie: I’ve dealt with a family member who has been a sex addict for years. I’ve hinted to this person that a “sex addict” is pretty much the same as a drug addict. If it’s something you hide from loved ones, it can’t be a positive way of life. I’ve noticed the times when this family member seems to be “holding it together” or “keeping it under control.” I don’t think you can be “in control” of an addiction. It shows in the face of the person, attitude, weight loss or gain, social life and daily living. It pains me that I can’t help. I’ve been told by several family members that “you can’t save everybody.” Well, I want to try. What can I do? — Caring Relative Dear Caring: You can stop making assumptions about addicts and what it means for them to keep things under control. We know you mean well and want to help. Please suggest that your relative contact Sex Addicts Anonymous at saarecovery.org. You also can look up sex addiction

and see how you can be a source of support. Dear Annie: Please tell “Ashamed” that people always look at our faces. If I have a red nose, a black eye, missing front tooth, a facial tattoo or even freckles, that is naturally going to attract their attention. How could anyone miss such things? But once that initial glance is done, people will look at and speak to the person. If they see a smile or hear a friendly greeting, it is the person they see and address. My sister had terrible acne as a teen. Her face is a mass of scars and discolorations. She is so outgoing and friendly that she is always the one who greets people and initiates conversation. Guess what? People get beyond the scars within seconds. They know they are dealing with a person. — Sheboygan, Wis.

Tooth fairy pays a premium for baby teeth in the Maritimes TORONTO — If you’re a kid in Atlantic Canada, here’s a reason to smile. According to a new survey, the tooth fairy is paying a premium for baby teeth in the Maritimes and Newfoundland. At $3.46 a tooth, it’s 19 per cent higher than the national average of $2.80. Even better, 35 per cent of respondents in Atlantic Canada said their children found $5

or more per tooth under their pillows in 2014. Quebec children were the least likely to get a visit from the tooth fairy — 13 per cent received no money for their lost teeth. For those who did, $2.06 was the average rate. The findings are from a telephone survey of approximately 1,000 households with children under age 13 conducted for Visa Canada. The company is promoting the launch of an online financial calculator that allows children and parents to compare their earnings with other children from similar households in Canada.
