Deaths shock MLA MLA MARY ANNE JABLONSKI CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE MORATORIUM ON TRANSFER OF MICHENER RESIDENTS BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

MICHENER CENTRE

Red Deer North MLA Mary Anne Jablonski is calling on her government to stop moving developmentally disabled residents out of Michener Centre after word spread last week that five former residents have died. All five died this spring and summer within two to four months of leaving Red Deer’s Michener. So far, 43 residents have been moved since the province announced in March 2013 that it would close older buildings on Michener’s north and south sides, forcing the relocation of 120 of severely developmentally disabled residents. On Sunday, Jablonski posted the following mes-

sage on the Friends of Michener Facebook page: “I am shocked with the number of deaths of my constituents since they have been moved out of Michener,” wrote Jablonski, who is on vacation. “I have asked Premier (Dave) Hancock for an immediate moratorium on the transfers of our residents and an investigation into these deaths. I am awaiting his reply and will inform you of his response.” The Facebook page also named the residents who died: ● Barry Gordon Hobbs, 64, who was moved from Michener Centre on March 20, died on July 31 in Lacombe. ● Thomas Eastman, 67, who was moved on March

13, died on July 9 in Grande Prairie. ● Merton Henry Klippert, 69, who was moved on April 24, died on July 5 in Calgary. ● Orville Culbert, 54, who was moved on March 20, died on July 15 in Lacombe. ● Freida Lafferty, 64, who was moved on April 3, died on June 4 in Yellowknife, N.W.T. Lee Kvern, whose sister has lived at Michener for 42 years, said Freida Lafferty’s death in June should have been a red flag. “They didn’t pause. They didn’t halt. They didn’t change any of the transitioning procedures. Four more deaths may have been prevented had they done something when they knew about Freida,” Kvern said on Monday.

FIRE ENGULFS HOME NEAR RIMBEY

Photo by SCOTTY AITKEN/Freelance

A home northwest of Rimbey was gutted by fire early Monday afternoon. Rimbey Fire and Rescue members responded to the fire, but were unable to save the house. No one was reported injured in the fire. Neighbours discovered a house had been burning extensively on Hwy 611 near Range Road 43, north of Rimbey, and called Rimbey firefighters on Monday afternoon. When crews arrived, they found the home fully engulfed in flames. The fire did not spread to other buildings. Rimbey RCMP and fire and rescue were able to determine that nobody had been in the residence at the time of the fire. However, Sgt. Mark Groves said it took some time to find that out. Fire investigators were on scene late Monday looking for the cause of the fire.

Red Deer County man moves to block power line BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer County’s Kurt Kure bought 140 acres of scenic land near Dickson Dam to build a home for his wife and 11 children. Kure wasn’t pleased when he found out a 500-kilovolt power line would become his new neighbour. Earlier this month, he was contacted by consultants for AltaLink, who wanted access to his land to prepare the way for the river crossing of the new power line known as the Western Alberta Transmission Line. “We had bought this property to build a house,” he said on Monday. “AltaLink has known that from the very beginning.” The family already has 26 towers on 1,600 acres it farms in the area. On Sept. 2, Kure and his lawyer Donald Bur, an Ontario lawyer well versed in Alberta’s power line politics, will seek to have a Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench justice overturn the Alberta Surface Rights Board-issued Right of Entry Order. Kure and his legal representative will argue that the board has no jurisdiction in this case because

The Kure family of Red Deer County will seek to have a Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench justice overturn the Alberta Surface Rights Board-issued Right of Entry Order. they claim the line is for interprovincial and export use, which puts it out of the board’s authority. That the line being built from Genesee, near Edmonton, to Langdon, near Calgary, is not needed and is a thinly disguised attempt to build a profit-making

export line to the U.S. has been a recurring theme among those opposed to the $1.65-billion project. The impending sale of AltaLink to U.S.-based Berkshire Hathaway Energy in a $3.2-billion deal only strengthens that prospect, said Kure. The provincial government, AltaLink, the Alberta Utilities Commission and Alberta Electric System Operator, which oversees the province’s power grid, have all denied the line is meant for export. Instead, they maintain the line is needed to upgrade an outof-date power grid in a fast-growing province. Kure is among those who say the need for the line was never proven. Kurt, his father, Colin, and grandfather Elmer all signed up as intervenors when the first hearings were held on the power line almost a decade ago. Kure is hoping the judge agrees with them and rules the surface rights board overstepped its authority. He has no doubt even a positive outcome would be followed up by an appeal from the other side. Ultimately, the issue needs to be addressed at a higher level, where the intended use of the line can be determined once and for all, he said.

Drug drama ends on top ‘BREAKING BAD’ AND ‘MODERN FAMILY’ CLEAN UP AT EMMY AWARDS, WITH ROBIN WILLIAMS MEMORIALIZED BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Modern Family won a record-tying fifth best comedy series Emmy Award and a dominant Breaking Bad captured the top drama award and a trio of acting honours in Monday’s ceremony, which took a sombre turn as Robin Williams was remembered with restraint and grace by his longtime friend, Billy Crystal. “He made us laugh. Hard. Every time you saw him,” Crystal said of Williams at the conclusion of a tribute to industry members who died last year. “Robin Williams, what a concept.” Bryan Cranston was honoured as best actor in a drama for Breaking Bad, proving that True Detective nominee Matthew McConaughey’s movie-star appeal couldn’t conquer all. “I have gratitude for everything that has happened,” Cranston said. His victory ties him with four-time best drama actor champ Dennis Franz. Cranston’s co-stars Aaron Paula and Anna Gunn were honoured in categories for best drama supporting acting, “Thank you for this wonderful farewell to our show,” said Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan said of the series about a teacher-turned-drug kingpin that ended with a bang. The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies won the Emmy for best lead actress in a drama series. “What a wonderful time for women on television,” Margulies said. McConaughey was the object of too-handsome jokes by presenter Jimmy Kimmel and adoration by winner Gail Mancuso, honoured as best director for an episode of “Modern Family.” “If you don’t mind, Matthew McConaughey, I’m gonna make eye contact with you right now,” she said from the stage, making good by holding the actor’s gaze for much of her speech. The ceremony honouring the best of TV wasn’t shy about playing the movie-star card. “Six minutes to Woody Harrelson” flashed on screen during Colin Bucksey’s acceptance speech for best miniseries direction for Fargo. Harrelson and his True Detective co-star were given time to banter before announcing that Benedict Cumberbatch of Sherlock: His Last Vow was the winner of the best miniseries actor award. “So you won Oscar, (People magazine’s) Sexiest Man Alive and now you want an Emmy, too. Isn’t that a little bit greedy?” Harrelson teased his fellow nominee. Fargo was named best miniseries, and the award for best miniseries actress went to Jessica Lange of American Horror Story: Coven.

STORIES FROM A1

MICHENER: Families of remaining residents live in fear Eleven per cent of residents who have been moved so far have died. “Isn’t it at least suitable or reasonable that you would stop the transitioning and see what’s going on, see what’s not working, what’s going wrong?” Alberta Human Services plans to move 80 more residents and a push is on the close buildings on the north side in early September, she said. The plan is to close the centre in December. Kvern, whose 56-year-old sister lives on the south side, said families of remaining residents live in absolute fear that their loved ones will also die quickly if forced to leave the place many have called home for most of their lives. She said families are sticking together and won’t

This photo released by AMC shows Bryan Cranston as Walter White in Season 5 of ‘Breaking Bad.’ A dominant ‘Breaking Bad’ captured the top drama award and a trio of acting honours at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday in Los Angeles. Buffering the miniseries awards was a parody routine about top nominees by “Weird Al” Yankovic. Musical numbers usually look out of place at the Emmys, and this one was no different. Other scripted banter fell flat, although host Seth Meyers kept soldiering on. CBS’ The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons was crowned as best comedy series actor, giving him his fourth Emmy and putting him in league with all-time sitcom winners Kelsey Grammer and Michael J. Fox. ABC’s Modern Family, which tied Frasier as the all-time sitcom champ with five statuettes, also captured a best comedy supporting actor trophy for Ty Burrell. Allison Janney was honoured as best supporting comedy actress for CBS’ Mom, adding to the trophy she’d already picked up as guest actress on Masters of Sex. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who received her third consecutive best comedy actress Emmy for the political comedy Veep, drew big laughs as she stopped

to exchange faux heated kisses with Cranston, who earlier was her co-presenter and who appeared with her on Seinfeld. Meyers kicked off the ceremony by tweaking his home network, NBC, and other broadcasters for being eclipsed in the awards by cable series and online newcomers like Orange Is the New Black. Noting that the Emmys moved to Monday night to avoid a conflict with Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, he said that MTV doesn’t really specialize in videos anymore. “That’s like network TV holding an awards show and giving all the trophies to cable and Netflix. That would be crazy,” Meyers joked. The ceremony’s traditional “in memorian” tribute to industry members who have died in the past year flashed images of stars including James Garner, Ruby Dee, Sid Caesar, Carmen Zapata and Elaine Stritch as singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles sang Smile. It concluded with the tribute to Williams.

sign anything to allow the moves. Kvern said she has emailed Human Services Minister Manmeet Bhullar requesting a meeting with him before the end of the week. “Basically I’ve told him that if I haven’t heard from his office within a couple of days, that I’m looking into legal representation for my sister. I’m not risking her life by having her evicted from her home.” Orville Culbert’s brother Cliff said his younger brother had serious health problems, but he was always able to fight his way back to health. “He died of a broken heart,” said Cliff Culbert, 74, of Hodgeville, Sask. “It would be no different than you or me sitting at home and the government coming in and saying, ‘OK, you can’t be with your family and friends anymore. You’re coming with me.’ What a shock, wouldn’t it be?” Culbert said his brother was running a high temperature for a couple of days before he died at the Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre, where he was moved. “I’m not running the facility down at all. The place is clean. The nurses were fantastic there. The people were very friendly. I honestly believe he was getting the best care he could get at a facility. It was a mistake made by the government to move some-

body out of their environment. It was just wrong.” Orville lived at Michener for about 37 years. His brother said he didn’t want Orville moved but felt pressured by Alberta Human Services. To say the move had nothing to do with his death is “stretching it,” his brother said. “Even in a roundabout way, it had something to do with it.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

POWER LINE: Line located in Alberta for Albertans AltaLink spokesman Scott Schreiner said the line is located in Alberta for Albertans. The Alberta Utilities Commission ruled conclusively on the line’s purpose as a means to bolster the province’s infrastructure during the facilities application process. “This line has been looked at often for the last five to eight years and has been determined to be built for the benefit of Albertans and is an entirely Alberta-focused facility,” said Schreiner. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Lukaszuk sorry for pricey roaming bill BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta Tory leadership candidate Thomas Lukaszuk apologized Monday for ringing up more than $20,000 in international data roaming charges on one trip. But he also questioned why the two-year-old information was leaked to the Edmonton Sun newspaper less than two weeks before Progressive Conservative party members vote for a new leader and premier. “I have nothing to hide. This bill was not hidden,” Lukaszuk told reporters after a speech to the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce. “It was in a public venue. Anybody could have accessed it. “The fact that somebody purposely highlighted it at this point in time obviously is a reputational issue.” Lukaszuk also issued a statement that said he “absolutely” made a mistake “and for that I apologize.” He said he was on a personal trip to Poland and Israel in October 2012 as a guest of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre’s “compassion to action” program. It raises awareness about hatred, tolerance, human rights and collaboration. He was deputy premier at the time and a government legal case needed his attention, he said. “There were a lot of long conversations and pro-

BRIEF Two men dead after car left mangled wreck in Edmonton highspeed crash EDMONTON — A high-speed crash has killed two men in Edmonton who died when the car they were in was nearly torn in two when it slammed into a tree. Police say both speed and alcohol were factors in the Sunday evening collision that left wreckage from a 1980s-model sedan that was carrying the victims wrapped around the tree. They say the car went through a stop sign on a west-end street and glanced off another car before rolling. It then hit the tree and a parked vehicle. The men — believed to be in their late 40s or early 50s — died at the scene. The driver of the second vehicle suffered minor injuries.

Alberta lake and landed upside down. RCMP say the Cessna 180 was trying to take off Saturday afternoon from Pasatchaw Lake, northwest of Lloydminster, when it went down after catching a wing in the water. The pilot and passenger managed to get out of the plane and swim to shore. They were checked for injuries by an ambulance crew and released. The plane was en route from Shoal Lake, Man., to

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — A man convicted for his role in the shooting deaths of four Alberta Mounties is getting more unescorted, temporary absences from prison. The Parole Board of Canada says Shawn Hennessey is doing well behind bars and will be allowed to visit his family for up to 78 hours, once every month, for six months. He was first granted visits in March to see his wife and children at their home. The board says those visits did not raise concerns, so the passes will now be expanded “to include family outings, attending grocery stores, restaurants and recreation centres.” The board writes in its decision that the visits, to be planned and pre-approved by a supervisor, “will not put the community at risk.” “Continuing your family contact for unescorted temporary absences will continue to strengthen family bonds in a community setting and allow time in your home community for a gradual reintegration back into society.” Hennessey, 35, is set to apply for day parole in September. Hennessey and his brother-in-law, Dennis Cheeseman, pleaded guilty to manslaughter for giving James Roszko a rifle and a ride to Roszko’s farm near Mayerthorpe in 2005. Constables Peter Schiemann, Anthony Gordon, Brock Myrol and Leo Johnston had been guarding a Quonset hut on Roszko’s farm as part of a marijuana grow-op and automobile chop-shop investigation. Roszko ambushed and killed the officers before he was shot and wounded, then killed himself. Sherwood Park,. Transportation Safety Board officials are investigating. Police say the plane had just refuelled and there was little wind, making it difficult for the pilot to get the plane off of the water. On the third attempt the pilot managed to lift off, but the wind died down and the plane came down at an angle, catching a wing in the lake.

ceedings with lawyers and the courts,” Lukaszuk said in the statement. “The case itself is under a court-ordered publication ban, so it is against the law for me to provide details. A letter from the legal firm confirms that it was a government case. “Suffice it to say that government faced an issue, it needed to be dealt with, and it was.” He said that once the charges were discovered, his staff and executive council staff fought with the service provider to have them reduced. But the company wouldn’t budge, he added, so the bill was grudgingly paid. “There was no choice. An assignment was given to me. ’You will be dealing with this issue’ — and I did,” Lukaszuk said after his speech. “Work was done for Albertans. Unfortunately the communication charges are ... despicable. They’re simply unacceptable.” Lukaszuk said he did not check the data plan before his trip and did not check to see if his office had done so. It was an “expensive lesson” and he subsequently changed providers, he said. “The result was that accomplishing the task cost the government more than it should have.” The New Democrats suggested it’s just more of the same from the Conservatives. Critic Deron Bilous said Lukaszuk is not immune to the sense of entitlement that led to Alison Redford’s ouster.

Engineering real change WE DON’T NEED TERM LIMITS IN ALBERTA AS MUCH AS WE NEED ACTIVE VOTERS When was the last time you heard a politician say something interesting during an internal party leadership campaign? If you’re not a keen follower of politics and policy, the most likely answer is: not ever. Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Jim Prentice said something interesting to GREG a gathering of NEIMAN party members in Edmonton last week. He said that if he became premier, he would bring in a bill imposing term limits on provincial politicians. Current MLAs would be grandfathered, of course, but a new MLA would be allowed a maximum of three terms, and two terms for a premier. He also spoke of the end of singlesource contracts and a doubling of the “cooling off” period for ministerial staff and public service employees (to one full year, from the current

INSIGHT

six months) who leave office, before they could return to a government paycheque in some other form. It’s strange that a candidate seeking to extend the world’s longest freelyelected parliamentary dynasty would talk about introducing Canada to the thought of term limits for elected officials. But that’s not the only non-traditional thought he uttered that day. Prentice is actually quoted as saying the government he intends to lead — which has been in office since 1971 with continuous landslide majorities — is “out of touch” with Albertans. A quick observation: it is more than likely the government has indeed “lost touch” with the general populace. Given human nature and the nature of power elites throughout history, that’s inevitable. But unless there’s been a seismic change recently, you could also suggest that Prentice is making a massive misreading of the Alberta psyche. For all the talk about our so-called “independent, free-thinking Alberta spirit,” the reality is that Alberta voters have never wanted a new broom in government, or a rollover of new people with fresh ideas. What Alberta has wanted from government, ever since Confederation,

was to just hand the keys to a populist leader and to walk away. If we want a change, we’ll call you. And we almost never do. The globe will experience major earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. Entire countries fall apart and disappear, with new countries springing up in their place. Entire species go into extinction and the world’s climate can change. But Albertans do not change governments. And Jim Prentice wants to bring in term limits to institutionalize change? Just who is out of touch here? Peter Lougheed led the Alberta Tories for 20 years. He was premier for 14 years and extremely popular the entire time. Before he took power, Social Credit had ruled Alberta for 36 years, all but 11 years of that under Ernest Manning. Between the Socred and the Tory eras, Alberta voters have decided only one change in government since 1935, for gosh sakes. Just one. Even party insiders will agree the last full term of Ralph Klein’s 14-year tenure as premier was less than dynamic, but that’s still a far sight longer than the eight years he would have been allowed under the proposal by Jim Prentice.

And right to the end, Klein was always popular with Alberta voters. The truth is, Albertans don’t like change. Up to today, perhaps. One Central Canadian columnist remarked a while back that whoever wins this leadership race, that person had better be able to walk on water (like Lougheed and Klein) or he will drown. Perhaps Prentice is trying to change the water’s depth. All the candidates wishing to be Alberta’s next premier are working hard to put new product into the Alberta Progressive Conservative package. Just enough change to satisfy Alberta’s small historical appetite for it. But anyone looking for a new broom to sweep the dust out of the Alberta legislature will first need to convince voters that it’s worthwhile for them to keep one hand on the keys to the building. I’m not sure Prentice can force that through legislated term limits. This is a responsibility Alberta voters need to take on themselves. If they want it. Greg Neiman is a retired Advocate editor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Paving crew’s safety practices could put public at jeopardy I live on Glendale Boulevard and was observing the work of a paving crew recently with my young son, who was fascinated by the process. As we discussed what was going on and what they were doing. I noticed some very disturbing and unsafe practices going on with the paving employees. Being employed at a ‘Responsible Care’ company such as NOVA Chemicals, it has become second nature to watch for unsafe and potentially detrimental behaviours. But even untrained, this was blatant disregard for safety in any context. I observed workers riding along the side of the “wobbly” machine, hanging off the side of it while the driver travelled at a fairly good speed. Another very disturbing observation was, I don’t think I saw the driver of the compactor not have his cellphone in his hand texting while he was driving up and down the street. I really think the police should sit there and watch them and hand out distracted driving tickets up the ying yang. Perhaps they would stop then? This particular driver was not the only one I observed on their phone while driving the equipment. Shortly after, I went to take my kids to walk to my car (parked two blocks away from my house until completion) and we were walking along the sidewalk as the before-mentioned guy drove past us. I looked up and saw he was on his cellphone still, looking up and down at his phone alternatively every few seconds as he passed us. I quickly moved my young son to the inside of the sidewalk and encouraged them to walk faster past the area. I have also sent this letter to the City of Red Deer, the paving company’s main email, and directly to their “Safety Specialist.” I really hope that they will not take my observations lightly and try to adopt a better view of safety practices. Not only to keep their own workers safe and going home every night in the same condition they left in, but other people as well. Also, little children watch these guys in fascination because what they do is really very cool, so they need to be setting a better example to our children. Amanda Renner Red Deer

Stop the exodus from Michener Centre before there is more tragedy It has now been 17 months since the government announced it would be shutting down the Michener Centre in Red Deer. The pain, anxiety and frustration it has caused the residents, many of whom who are severely disabled, is completely unacceptable. There can be no question that shuffling around of highly fragile individuals has created untold horror stories and declining health outcomes for clients. Recently, it was announced five former Michener residents had passed away after being moved. The fact these wonderful individuals had to go through the traumatic experience of being ripped from their homes in their final days is nothing short of tragic — our condolences go to all the family members involved. This is not how these individuals should have been treated. But let there be no question: family members of those remaining at Michener are left hearing these stories and staring at deadlines of impending closures and judicial reviews with no end in sight. Despite the outcries from family members, the

warnings from health professionals and the backlash from the community at large, the Progressive Conservative government just keep plowing ahead with the closure. Just imagine the stress this is causing. And the uncertainty of the PC leadership contest has created a vacuum of leadership throughout government, paralyzing our current leaders to act. Premier Dave Hancock, who was the minister responsible for announcing the closure of Michener, has the power to announce he will halt the movement of all Michener residents immediately. He owes it to families to halt the movement of residents and commit to keeping the facility open. Current Human Services Minister Manmeet Bhullar, campaign chair for Mr. Prentice’s leadership campaign, has an opportunity to show a basic sense of compassion for these residents and family members. However, neither himself nor Mr. Prentice have made any firm commitment to keeping Michener open for these fragile and vulnerable Albertans. Diane Esslinger’s brother Larry has been a resident of the Michener Centre for over five decades. She has experienced first-hand the intimidation and pressure from the government to move her brother out. A fierce advocate, she understands the chaos caused by the closure of Michener and the sense of chaos it has caused. Anyone who has met Diane, or her brother Larry, would know right away the horrendous mistake of moving these residents from their longtime homes. No more should families have to put up this horrendous treatment. I call on Mr. Hancock and Mr.

Wall backs public inquiry BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

MISSING/MURDERED WOMEN

CHARLOTTETOWN — Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall says he doesn’t know how long any level of government can ignore something like the murder of a 15-year-old aboriginal girl before looking at ways to prevent such deaths. Tina Fontaine was found wrapped in a bag and dumped in the Red River in Winnipeg. Her death has prompted renewed calls for a public inquiry into the high number of missing and murdered aboriginal women. Wall says provinces and aboriginal leaders back that call, even if the federal government isn’t on board. “I think when the provinces are united as we are, together with the national aboriginal leadership, I think there is momentum,” Wall said Monday. “I think the RCMP have agreed in principle with the importance of an inquiry and I think there is momentum picking up.

“And then you have the absolute tragedy that has been ... highlighted ... in Manitoba. I don’t know how long you ignore those kinds of things at any particular level of government before you want to ask every single question that you can possibly ask to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.” In May, the RCMP issued a detailed statistical breakdown of 1,181 cases since 1980. It 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. The force said the next phase is to have a broader conversation and make recommendations. Sgt. Greg Cox, an RCMP media relations officer in Ottawa, said Monday that it is not the place for police to weigh in on the question of a public inquiry. The Canadian Association of Chiefs

of Police said it has not been asked to endorse one into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Association president, Vancouver police Chief Const. Jim Chu, said the group has no position on the issue, but its aboriginal policing committee will reach out to organizations such as the Native Women’s Association of Canada to find out more. The Canadian Human Rights Commission said in May that it believes a national inquiry is needed. And on a visit to Canada last fall, James Anaya, the United Nations special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, also said the federal government should set up a national inquiry into murdered and missing aboriginal women in Canada. The federal government has firmly rejected an inquiry, saying it prefers aboriginal justice programs and a national DNA missing person’s index.

creased if not lost altogether, and he’d be unable to communicate with his family at the end.” Low wanted to control the way he died, Taylor said, but there wasn’t enough time to go to Switzerland where doctor-assisted suicide is legal, nor was there a way to legally obtain the necessary medications in Canada. “Little by little we realized he wasn’t going to have a peaceful death, and he was going to have to succumb to whatever was coming,” she said. Current laws, which make doctorassisted suicide illegal in Canada, are unconstitutional, said Taylor.

Beaulieu has pushed sovereignty as the main electoral theme even as polls suggest the appetite for it is waning. Beaulieu has also been critical of past Bloc leaders, accusing them of having a defeatist attitude towards sovereignty. The new Bloc leader said in a statement that Bellavance has been thinking about his political future since the leadership vote and has never responded to attempts at reconciliation.

Bloc Quebecois loses another MP

OTTAWA — In its first year of existence, the federal government’s new social security tribunal concluded just 461 hearings on appeals launched by Canadians denied Canada Pension Plan disability and old-age security benefits — and most of those appeals were dismissed. That’s compared to thousands of hearings conducted the previous year under the old regime. Employment Minister Jason Kenney’s office recently announced 22 new part-time hires for the tribunal to help

BRIEF Widow fights for ‘right to die with dignity’ TORONTO — The widow of Dr. Donald Low, an infectious disease specialist who guided Toronto through the 2003 SARS crisis, said she supports the “right to die with dignity,” particularly after watching her husband gradually lose control over his body before his death. Maureen Taylor’s comments on Monday came as the Supreme Court is set to begin hearing a case on the issue in October. Low, who died from a brain tumour in September 2013, made headlines with a video filmed eight days before his death in which he made impassioned arguments in favour of legalizing doctor-assisted suicide. Taylor said that as a doctor, Low knew what was to come. “He knew what the trajectory of his illness would be. He accepted quite readily that he was going to die,” she said. “The type of brain tumour that Don had, he knew as it grew it would leave him paralysed, unable to swallow, hearing and vision would be de-

OTTAWA — Veteran Bloc Quebecois MP Andre Bellavance announced Monday that he too is quitting the embattled sovereigntist party because he can’t work with its new leader. He becomes the second of the formerly four-member Bloc caucus to bow out in recent weeks. Bellavance said he will serve the rest of his mandate as an Independent and won’t seek re-election in 2015. Bellavance said his decision to leave the party came after a recent meeting with Bloc Leader Mario Beaulieu, the man who beat Bellavance for the party leadership in June. The Bloc has been in complete disarray since Beaulieu’s arrival over his approach to running the party.

Fewer hearings held by new social security tribunal

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said most cases such as Fontaine’s are addressed and solved by the police. He added that it was important to keep in mind that the girl’s death was a crime and not a “sociological phenomenon.” The issue will be on the agenda when premiers and aboriginal leaders hold their annual meeting this week in Prince Edward Island. “There will be a call for an inquiry and it looks like the federal government is just saying ”no,“ so I’m not sure there will be progress there, but the discussions are always helpful,” Wall said. “The aboriginal leadership of the country puts these issues on the table and immediately I think premiers, provinces and territories start to look at ... what are we doing to respond to these things. It’s (been) helpful to me in the past to come out of the meetings and talk to officials and say ’Where are we at?’ “We’re making progress on some of the issues, but you know I think more can be done.” it deal with a growing backlog of more than 10,000 cases. The tribunal, which began its work on April 1, 2013, spent its first year seriously under-staffed, with several full-time positions remaining vacant until this July. Richard Beaulne, a spokesman for the tribunal, says the new panel “managed to conclude” almost 1,600 appeals on Canada Pension Plan and old age security cases from its first day until June 30 of this year. But Beaulne says just 461 were “decisions on merits” resulting from actual hearings; the majority of those 1,592 appeals were agreements between all parties that the tribunal “reviewed and approved.” Of those 461 hearings, 158 were approved and 303 were dismissed, according to the tribunal — amounting to an approval rate of just 34 per cent for Canadians who have appealed decisions to deny them benefits. The tribunal was ostensibly created to provide a more efficient appeal process for employment insurance, Canada Pension Plan and old-age security decisions.

Not a final farewell MAJORITY OF REASSIGNED REBELS PROSPECTS LOOK TO HAVE A FUTURE WITH CLUB BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR The Red Deer Rebels bid adieu to 12 players following the Black and White intrasquad game Sunday and the vast majority will remain as prospects of the Western Hockey League club for the time being and beyond. Among the reassigned players still in the Rebels’ plans is 16-year-old netminder Colby Entz, who will rejoin the Moose Jaw Generals and play No. 1 minutes with the Saskatchewan Midget AAA League squad. “He’s a smaller sized goalie who keeps finding a way at every stage,” Rebels assistant GM/director of player personnel Shaun Sutter said Monday, in reference to the Churchbridge, Sask., native who was listed by the Rebels after being passed over in the 2013 WHL bantam draft. “He’s played well at every level. There weren’t too many 15-year-olds playing goal in midget triple A last year and he was one of them. And he had really good numbers. We expect him to be the best goalie in that league this season and he gives us really good depth at the position.” Defencemen Cale Chalifoux and Max Salpeter, both 16, will also play at the midget AAA level in 2014-15 and both are in the Rebels’ future plans. “It’s so hard for kids to play in this league at 16 and with us remaking our defensive corps and bringing in the guys we did with (Brett) Cote, (Josh) Mahura, the two Europeans (Huge Jansons and Mario Grman), (Austin) Strand and (Austin) Shmoorkoff, there wasn’t room for Cale,” said Sutter.

Raonic only Canadian to survive opening day of U.S. Open BY THE CANADIAN PRESS NEW YORK — Milos Raonic emerged as the only Canadian survivor from five starters on opening day at the U.S. Open Monday. The fifth seed reached the second round over Japan’s Taro Daniel with a 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (1) victory. Raonic had a smooth ride in the first two sets, but hit speed bumps as he tried to serve it out. “Maybe just lacked a little bit of intensity,” Raonic said after the match. “Where I needed to, I played well. “It’s really hard to gauge my level because of the way things went throughout the match. But I feel like just the way I’ve prepared for this event, I’m feeling more comfortable than any of the other ones, so that’s a good thing.” The Thornhill, Ont., product saved two break points with aces in the 10th game leading 5-4 but hit the net with a backhand to make it 5-5 in the third set. The set went to a tiebreaker where Raonic finally got the job done. Raonic took just over 90 minutes to earn victory with 20 aces and nearly 60 winners. “I’ve been playing my best tennis this year,” he said. “I put a lot of focus into this event. I’m glad to be here and start playing. “I’m hoping to stay for as long as possible.” Vasek Pospisil fell victim to a shoulder injury sustained from practise last week. The 46th-ranked Vancouver player who won the Wimbledon doubles title, lost to clay-

courter Simone Bolelli 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. Pospisil revealed that he hurt his shoulder on one serve last Tuesday but added that the problem is slowly healing. Pospisil fired 13 aces but was weighed down by 51 unforced errors and managed only 21 winners. He won his only match in New York during his 2011 debut after also going out in the first round a year ago. “I’ve not been serving much, I lost my rhythm,” said the Canadian. “I still have pain in my shoulder and that’s never a good thing. “I couldn’t serve like I usually do, that seemed like a big part of the match today. It’s only my serve that’s affected. But you’re then not as confident on serve and not as loose on return games. It changed the whole outlook on the match. “I’m not stressed about doubles, the shoulder is getting better. Four days ago I could barely serve.” Sharon Fichman of Toronto, Aleksandra Wozniak of Blainville, Que., and Montreal’s Francoise Abanda were also eliminated in the women’s draw. Fichman returned from arthroscopic knee surgery to a crushing 6-1, 6-0 loss to fourthseed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland in a match that took 47 minutes. Wozniak lost to Japan’s up-and-coming Kurumi Nara, 6-2, 6-1, in 59 minutes. The 17-year-old Abanda, playing in her first match at a Grand Slam, went down to 2013 Wimbledon finalist Sabine Lisicki 6-3, 7-5. “It was a great feeling to be playing my first Slam,” Abanda said. “I had a tough oppo-

MORE U.S. OPEN B4 nent so that was tough, but it was great for me to experience that this year at age 17.” The No. 112-ranked Fichman was playing her first match since losing in the first round of Wimbledon on June 24. She had surgery to repair torn cartilage in her knee in late July, the result of injuries suffered in World Team Tennis. “Only I know what I’ve been going through,” she said. “Considering all that I have on my plate, I definitely did the best job that I could. I’m proud of my effort. I knew that even on the best of days, Radwanska would not be the easiest match.” Fichman is still searching for her first singles victory at a Grand Slam after first-round losses in New York last year and at Roland Garros and Wimbledon in 2014. She was rusty Monday, with 24 unforced errors and 23 winners from her Radwanska. “I don’t know how long it will take me to come back,” said Fichman. “I’m doing the best that could be asked for after the surgery and the ankle and everything. I’ll do all that I can, eventually I’ll get there. All the struggles and hard work will make me better at the end.” The No. 97-ranked Wozniak suffered through 28 unforced errors as she ended her Grand Slam season without a victory at any of the three majors she played — Paris, London and New York.

Stampeders rally around receiver Joe West after murder of his brother

“But he came a long way last year in terms of his development and we expect him to do the same this season and be knocking at the door here when he’s 17. He does a bit of everything but he’s not a flashy guy. He’s one of those guys you don’t notice because he’s good positionally and has good awareness. He’s close . . . he’s right there.” Chalifoux will return to the midget AAA Edmonton Knights of Columbus. Salpeter, Sutter suggested, needs a year of midget AAA seasoning after playing at the minor midget level last winter. The St. Albert native is expected to suit up with his hometown Raiders. “It was going to be a bigger step for Max (to play in the WHL this season), so he has to get a year of midget triple A under his belt,” said Sutter. “As a big kid, his skating is still improving and that’s an area in which he has to improve to be at the WHL level. But he’s a committed kid so we know he’ll work on that.” Ethan Sakowich of Athabasca and Carson Sass of Melville, Sask., were reassigned to midget AAA teams and the 15-year-olds are both highlyregarded by the Rebels coaching and scouting staffs.

CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders are giving receiver Joe West the time and support he needs to cope with the death of his brother. Brandon Hobdy, a 23-yearold receiver at Southern Arkansas University, was shot dead off-campus early Sunday morning. Within hours of learning of the tragedy, a grieving West had 129 yards on four catches in Calgary’s 32-7 win over the Redblacks in Ottawa. The Stampeders gathered at a residential golf course Monday morning in Calgary for their annual charity tournament which raises money for high school athletics. Head coach and general manager John Hufnagel await-

ed word from West on funeral arrangements and his travel plans. “He’s doing as well as can be expected,” Hufnagel said. “His teammates were there to help him through it. He played the game. He played the game with a lot of emotion, obviously. But he was able to control it. Joe was always a respected player on our football team, but that grew leaps and bounds yesterday.” While West flew back to Calgary with the Stampeders on Sunday night, SAU held a candlelight vigil for Hobdy at Wilkins Stadium in Magnolia, Ark.

Tour director Duncan Mills says the girls division is growing in both strength and numbers. â€œWe had lots more junior girls this year, some younger players that I hadnâ€™t seen before, theyâ€™re developing and coming out,â€? said Mills. â€œClare played a lot, she played very well throughout the year.â€? Also in the girlâ€™s division, Ponokaâ€™s Shaye Leidenius finished with an 85 while her twin sister Daria shot an 89. Innisfailâ€™s Courtney Dixon finished with a 93.

Murray fights off cramps to win at U.S. Open BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Spinning in 70 mph second serves, grabbing at his hamstring during points, Andy Murray gritted his way through head-to-toe cramps to win at the U.S. Open. Murray outlasted Robin Haase 6-3, 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-5 in the first round Monday during an afternoon that was hot but not particularly humid. He was mystified that the cramps came on so early — at the start of the third set after only about an hour and a half on court. “When it starts to kind of go everywhere, you don’t know exactly where it’s going to creep up next,” he said. “When you stretch one muscle, something else then cramps, too.” It started in the back of his left shoulder, and then quickly spread to his forearm. The right-handed Murray couldn’t toss the ball high enough to get any pace on his serves. Between points, he’d twist his body to awkwardly stretch his left side. After hitting a winner, he’d reach for his quad. Murray was twice down a break in the fourth set, but the 70th-ranked Haase unraveled with a string of unforced errors. He wasted three break points in the final game, when a missed call also cost him. The eighth-seeded Murray had felt confident in his conditioning after productive training sessions in Miami, where he weathered far more heat and humidity than this. He wondered if something was amiss in his nutrition. “Cramping in my left forearm?” a bewildered Murray said. “I mean, I didn’t use my left forearm a whole lot today.” After Monday’s loss, Haase planned to complain to the ATP that he was denied treatment during the match for a sore foot. But the Dutchman insisted he wasn’t distracted by Murray’s shows of discomfort. “I was more busy with myself, and I was struggling myself,” Haase said. “I tried to play my game. It didn’t bother me what he did.” Ninth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga also needed four sets to beat Juan Monaco 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-1. Nick Kyrgios — the Australian teen who stunned Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon — came back from three code violations, just one outburst away from default, in a 7-5, 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-6 (1) upset of 21st-seeded Mikhail Youzhny. Julien Benneteau, seeded 24th, was upset in five sets by fellow Frenchman Benoit Paire. Third-seeded Stan Wawrinka also advanced in straight sets. Nick Kyrgios — the Australian teen who stunned Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon — came back from three code violations, just one outburst away from default, in a 7-5, 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-6 (1) upset of 21st-seeded Mikhail Youzhny. Fifth-seeded Maria Sharapova, who missed last year’s tournament because of an injured right shoulder, made a successful return by winning the final 10 games to beat Maria Kirilenko 6-4, 6-0 in a matchup of 27-year-old Russians and longtime friends. Earlier, Venus Williams, 34, beat 43-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. The combined age of 77 was believed to be the oldest for a women’s Grand Slam pairing, the WTA said.

Jays fall to Red Sox in 10 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Red Sox 4 Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — In a month that continues to go from bad to worse, the Toronto Blue Jays came agonizingly close to a stirring comeback win Monday night before literally falling short. Another foot or so and Edwin Encarnacion’s ninth-inning blast to centre would have been a gamewinning home run instead of a double off the wall to tie the game at 3-3. And the Jays’ joy at the threerun outburst in the ninth was short-lived when Boston’s Yoenis Cespedes singled home the winning run in the 10th inning for a 4-3 victory that ended the Red Sox’s eight-game losing streak. Shortstop Brock Holt singled off Aaron Sanchez (2-1) with one out and then stole second — surviving an instant replay review — and third before Cespedes sent the ball past a diving Munenori Kawasaki with two outs for the winning run. “We made a run at it. We needed another foot or two on Eddie’s ball,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons. “And then we couldn’t shut them down (in) that extra inning. So disappointing, definitely disappointing.” Toronto, which is 6-15 this month, has now lost nine of its last 12 games and 11 of its last 16. It failed to score more than three runs for the 13th time this month. The opposition scored first for the fifth straight game, dropping Toronto’s record to 20-39 on the season when it falls behind out of the gate.

Toronto Blue Jays’ Danny Valencia tags out Boston Red Sox Christian Vazquez out at third base trying to advance from second on a Dustin Pedroia fly ball during third inning baseball action in Toronto on Monday. The Jays (66-65) had hoped to put an end to their August swoon given their success this season against Boston. Toronto had won six straight against the Red Sox and 10 of the 13 meetings between the two prior to Monday. Left-hander Craig Breslow pitched the 10th for his first save, despite putting the tying run on via a walk. Boston (57-74) was in control going into the ninth, with starter Clay Buchholz holding the Jays to two hits over eight innings and homers by Mookie Betts and Dustin Pedroia giving the visitors a 3-0 lead. Buchholz struck out four and walked two in a near flawless outing that kept the dormant Jays

offence in check until the ninth, when he loaded the bases on backto-back Jose Reyes and Melky Cabrera singles and a Jose Bautista walk with one out. Closer Koji Uehara was unable to clean up the mess, allowing one run on an Adam Lind forceout and then two more on the Encarnacion double. Uehara (6-4) blew the save but still got the win. Boston manager John Farrell praised Cespedes’ heroics. “Cespy has been so good since coming over to us (from Oakland), getting RBIs in key moments, lateinning situations,” he said. “Once again, today, with a game-winner. Whether it’s been with a base hit or a long ball, he’s been big for us late in games.”

Tiger parts ways with swing coach Foley BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARAMUS, N.J. — Tiger Woods is leaving swing coach Sean Foley after four years and no majors. Woods said on his website Monday he will no longer work with Foley, the Canadian whom he hired when his game was at its low point following the upheaval with his marriage. The announcement came one day after another Foley pupil, Hunter Mahan, won The Barclays. “I’d like to thank Sean for

his help as my coach and for his friendship,” Woods said. “Sean is one of the outstanding coaches in golf today, and I know he will continue to be successful with the players working with him.” Woods has been coping with back problems for more than a year. He had surgery March 31 to alleviate a pinched nerve, forcing him to miss two majors during his three months of recovery. He missed two cuts, withdrew from another tournament and had his worst 72-hole finish in a major after returning.

He is taking three months off in a bid to regain his full strength, and said this would be the right time to dismiss Foley. Woods is not scheduled to play again until his World Challenge in Orlando, Florida, the first week in December. He does not have a coach and said there was no timetable to hire one. “My time spent with Tiger is one of the highlights of my career so far, and I am appreciative of the many experiences we shared together,” Foley said.

Merger could help U.S. expansion EXPERT SAYS POTENTIAL TIMS-BURGER KING DEAL COULD HELP CHAIN TAKE ON DUNKIN’ DONUTS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A deal between Tim Hortons and Burger King could finally help the coffee and doughnut chain successfully expand into the U.S. market but it shouldn’t mean customers will see any changes when they visit either fast-food chain. Ken Wong, a marketing expert with Queen’s University, said it is all about the U.S. for Tim Hortons. “They’ve had some difficulty penetrating the U.S. market with dedicated Tim Hortons franchises and part of that is, of course, that while the brand is one of Canada’s strongest, it really doesn’t have much resonance in the U.S., especially up against Dunkin’ Donuts,” Wong said. The companies confirmed Sunday that they are in talks and that the Oakville, Ont.-based Tim Hortons and the Miami-based Burger King would operate as stand-alone brands if they were to go ahead with a deal. Jim Danahy, chief executive of consultancy CustomerLab, says the deal makes sense for Tim Hortons, given that the company has made it clear that it needed a partner on the ground in the U.S. “They acquire, with this merger, access to the franchisees who own and operate more than 3,500 restaurants in the United States,” Danahy said. “It’s access to the people who understand the U.S. market, infrastructure, distribution. It’s not an insignificant benefit, and it’s one that management said they were looking for.” Despite the sense of patriotism many Canadians

may feel while drinking Tim Hortons coffee, the company has been owned by a large U.S. chain before. It was purchased by Wendy’s International Inc. in 1995 and spun-off from Wendy’s in 2006 after becoming a publicly listed company. But while Tim Hortons dominates the Canadian coffee market, it has struggled to find success in the U.S., and has faced increasing competition at home in recent years from Starbucks Corp. and McDonalds Corp. After taking over the top job last year, Tim Hortons chief executive Marc Caira launched a wideranging review of the company’s priorities and ideas that could boost its reputation with both domestic and international consumers. Tim Hortons has since added new menu items such as a crispy chicken sandwich and side dishes to boost breakfast and lunch sales. But that doesn’t mean customers should expect to get a Whopper with their double-double if the deal goes through. “There’s zero chance you’ll see Tim Hortons coffee in Burger King restaurants — Tim Hortons is not a well-known brand in the United States, it’s not like you’re putting Starbucks in there,” Danahy said. “It would have zero benefits for Burger King. It would only serve to make it more difficult for the owners of the company to sell off one or the other at some point in the future (and) that’s what private equity is there to do.” If there was a deal, Burger King would be able to shave its U.S. tax bill in what’s called a tax inversion, a move that has become increasingly popular among U.S. companies trying to cut costs. Tim Hortons actual tax rate so far this year has been about 28 per

Amazon to buy video game streaming service Twitch

cent, up from about 26 per cent last year, increased in part because of its higher long-term debt, which isn’t eligible for a full tax benefit. In an inversion, a U.S. company reorganizes in a country with a lower tax rate by acquiring or merging with a company there. Inversions allow companies to transfer money earned overseas to the parent company without paying additional U.S. taxes. Brynn Winegard, a marketing expert at Winegard and Company, notes McDonalds has made a heavy play in the beverages market, so the combination is one that makes sense. “In food service and in quick food service you need to have beverage offerings that are strong,” she said. “If they’re going to grow and cut taxes, Tim Hortons is a very strategic choice (for Burger King).” The deal would also give Tim Hortons an option to eventually grow internationally, given that Burger King had 13,667 restaurants in more than 95 countries and the U.S., including some 6,231, or 46 per cent, located outside the U.S. and Canada as of the end of last year. As of June 29, Tim Hortons operated 4,546 restaurants, including 3,630 in Canada, 866 in the United States and 50 in the Middle East. No financial details were provided, but the markets reacted positively to the possibility of a deal, with U.S.-based Burger King (NYSE:BKW) up 20.80 per cent to US$32.75 on the New York Stock Exchange. Shares in Tim Hortons (TSX:THI) jumped 20.97 per cent to C$83.20 on the Toronto stock market, up $14.42

BOSTON PIZZA CONSTRUCTION

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Amazon is hoping to become the ESPN of video games. The e-commerce giant is buying streaming platform Twitch Interactive for $970 million in cash as it seeks to take part in video gaming’s growth as an online spectator sport. Twitch is a multi-channel online network built for a generation of people who not only enjoy playing video games, but find it entertaining to watch others who might impart tricks and tips for excelling at their favourite games. Amazon’s purchase is an acknowledgment that gameplay video feeds are increasingly lucrative. Twitch had 55 million unique visitors in July, up from 20 million in 2012. Most visited the Twitch.tv website to watch other people play live or recorded games —competitions interspersed with advertising. Digital video advertising in the U.S. is expected to reach $5.96 billion this year, according to eMarketer, up 41.9 per cent from 2013. “Broadcasting and watching gameplay is a global phenomenon and Twitch has built a platform that brings together tens of millions of people who watch billions of minutes of games each month,” said Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in a statement. The deal is the latest example of Amazon expanding into new commercial arenas. It introduced its own smartphone, the Fire, this month. Earlier this summer, it added same-day delivery, a set-top video streaming device to its list of services for members of Prime, its $99 annual loyalty program. Amazon already has an in-house gaming studio that makes games, and its Fire TV set top box was designed to attract gamers. Twitch CEO Emmett Shear said Amazon is a good fit because “they believe in our community, they share our values and long-term vision.” Google had been in talks to buy Twitch, but no deal materialized. Forrester Research analyst James McQuivey believes Google might have been a better fit for Twitch. “Twitch will be a harder asset for Amazon to use,” he said. “It doesn’t have the kind of video streaming audience that Google’s YouTube does.” However, McQuivey added that Amazon is trying to own more of its own content rather than simply selling others’ and Twitch could help the company do that. “(Twitch) captures people’s attention for hours a week and it also creates a product tie-in opportunity that Amazon can capitalize on in a way that Google could not,” he said. In a letter addressed to Twitch’s users, Shear emphasized Amazon’s willingness to allow the gaming service operate independently as a key reason for the deal coming together. It’s not clear whether Twitch would have been given as much autonomy had it been bought by Google, given the leading role that YouTube already plays in online video. Google declined to comment on Twitch’s sale to Amazon. Seattle-based Amazon’s purchase of Twitch is set to close in the second half of 2014. Twitch, based in San Francisco, spun out of Justin. tv, a quirky service that revolved around a video feed tracking the daily activities of co-founder Justin Kan. The focus shifted to live video for gamers in 2011, a move that has turned Twitch into rapidly growing phenomenon. In July, users viewed more than 155 billion minutes of content produced by more than 1 million broadcasters, ranging from individual gamers, pro players, video game publishers, developers and others. The company does not release revenue figures, but in September 2013 it received a $20 million investment from investors including software company Take-Two Interactive and venture capital firms Alsop Louie Partners and Bessemer Venture Partners.

Loonie down, traders look to possible Tim Hortons/Burger King deal, growth data TORONTO — The Canadian dollar closed lower Monday as traders considered a potential merger and acquisition deal involving iconic restaurant chain Tim Hortons and looked ahead to the latest reading on economic growth. The loonie was down 0.3 of a cent to 91.07 cents US. Burger King is in merger talks with Tim Hortons in hopes of creating a new, publicly traded company with its headquarters in Canada. With a new base in Canada, Burger King, now based in Miami, could shave its U.S. tax bill. Tax inversions have become increasingly popular among U.S. companies trying to cut costs. The majority owner of Burger King, 3G Capital, would own the majority of shares of the new company. It’s not known what such a deal would be worth but, depending on the structure, it could have an impact on the dollar. Tim Hortons has a market capitalization of $9.5 billion and the loonie has been pushed higher in the past by big corporate deals. That’s because a foreign buyer acquiring a Canadian company will need Canadian currency to close the deal, boosting demand for the loonie on financial markets. Meanwhile, Statistics Canada releases the June reading on gross domestic product growth on Friday. Economists expect that Statistics Canada will report that GDP grew by 0.2 per cent in June, which would translate into annualized growth of 2.6 per cent. In the U.S., the durable goods report for July is out Tuesday and economists looked for a gain of

seven per cent, reflecting a strong pickup in aircraft orders. Excluding transportation, durable goods orders were expected to rise by 0.4 per cent. Elsewhere on currency markets, the euro traded at an 11-month low (1.3201 against the greenback) after European Central Bank president Mario Draghi said that medium-term inflation expectations had declined. Draghi told the Federal Reserve’s economic symposium on Friday that the bank is considering asset purchases to pump more money into Europe’s economy, though he gave no guidance on when that would happen.

Valeant acquires dermatology portfolio and speciality products from Valeo LAVAL, Que. — Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (TSX:VRX) said Monday that it has acquired a dermatology portfolio of drugs and several speciality products from Valeo Pharma for $25.3 million. Quebec-based Manitex Capital Inc., which owns 40 per cent of subsidiary Valeo Pharma, said $18.3 million will be paid in cash and the balance will be paid over a period of three years. Valeant said the acquisition by its Canadian subsidiary Valeant Canada is complementary to its current product offerings. Valeant Canada’s recent acquisitions include Dermik, Medicis, Obagi, Bausch & Lomb, Solta Medical and Pro-Derma. Valeant Pharmaceuticals is in the midst of a hostile takeover fight for U.S. drug maker Allergan Inc., the maker of Botox. Allergan has repeatedly rejected Valeant’s offers to buy the company, the latest for about US$53 billion in cash and stock. Manitex Capital says the deal will allow Valeo Pharma to focus on product development, acquisitions, in-licensing and commercialization efforts on other specialty therapeutic areas and rare diseases.

Burger King is in talks with Tim Hortons in hopes of creating a new, publicly traded company with its headquarters in Canada. With a new base in Canada, Burger King, now based in Miami, could shave its U.S. tax bill. Such so-called tax inversions have become increasingly popular among U.S. companies trying to cut costs. The majority owner of Burger King, 3G Capital, would own the majority of shares of the new company. It’s not known what such a deal would be worth, but both stocks surged. The prospect of Burger King (NYSE:BKW) racking up big tax savings helped send its shares up 19.51 per cent to US$32.40 in New York. And Tim Hortons (TSX:THI) jumped $13.25 or 19.26 per cent to C$82.03 in Toronto as Burger King considers linking up with a very successful quick service restaurant business. “They have an embedded base of profitability and strength that exists in the Canadian business and has been the foundation of that company and that stock for a very long time,” said Craig Fehr, Canadian markets specialist at Edward Jones in St. Louis. “It (would) create a very major player, a top three player in the quick serve space — a space obviously that McDonald’s has enjoyed the leadership in for a long time.” The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 63.19 points to 15,598.74, held back by the gold sector as bullion prices fell back.

Sentiment was helped along by top central bankers who said support for their economies would continue and additional help is possible. European Central Bank president Mario Draghi told the Federal Reserve’s economic symposium Friday that the bank is considering asset purchases to pump more money into Europe’s economy, though he gave no guidance on when that help would happen. Also at the Fed meeting, central bank chairwoman Janet Yellen offered no signal that she’s altered her view that the economy still needs support from the Fed. The TSX financials group gained 0.28 per cent ahead of earnings reports coming in this week from most of the big Canadian banks. Royal Bank (TSX:RY) posted a better than expected report and a dividend increase on Friday but the showing failed to push its stock higher. “Expectations are high and even against a very solid performance, you have to weigh the performance of the stock price against the expectations that are embedded,” Fehr said.

Taseko aims to prove in court that feds were wrong to reject B.C. mine VANCOUVER — A mining company that has filed two Federal Court applications against the federal government over the rejection of a $1.5-billion mine in B.C. now wants a full trial. Taseko Mines (TSX:TKO) spokesman Brian Battison says the company has filed an application asking that both applications be set for a single trial, which he said would give the company greater access to legal tools as it attempts to argue the federal government’s decisions were unfair.

a lake considered sacred by area First Nations in rejecting the New Prosperity mine, which is located about 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake, B.C. Taseko first filed an application challenging a report written by a review panel with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, and then filed a second application once the government turned down the project. The Tsilhqot’in (sill-KOH’-teen) nations say they’re looking forward to getting into the courtroom as Taseko fights for the largest undeveloped gold and copper deposit in Canada. In June, the Tsilhqot’in won a decades-long court case that recognized their aboriginal title over 1,750 square kilometres of territory west of Williams Lake in a case unrelated to the mine.

A forklift is partially buried in some of the hundreds of earthquake damaged wine barrels at the Kieu Hoang Winery Monday, in Napa, Calif. A powerful earthquake that struck the heart of California’s wine country toppled wine bottles in vineyards around the region.

Quake damage in California wine capital may hit $1B BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NAPA, Calif. — The earthquake that jarred California’s wine capital caused $1 billion in damage, Napa County officials estimated Monday as business owners mopped up high-end vintages that spilled from barrels and bottles and swept away broken glass in the rush to get the tourist hotspot back in shape for the summer’s final holiday weekend. With the dust still settling from Sunday’s magnitude-6.0 temblor centred near the city of Napa, government and tourism officials assessing its economic and structural impact encouraged visitors to keep flocking to the charming towns, tasting rooms, restaurants and spas that drive the Napa Valley economy. While cleanup will take time and broken water mains remained a problem, they said, the worst damage and disruption was confined to the city’s downtown, where a post office, library and a 141-room hotel were among 150 homes and buildings deemed unsafe to occupy. The strongest earthquake to hit the San Francisco Bay Area in a quarter-century also caused several injuries, triggered fires that destroyed or damaged six mobile homes, and ruptured gas lines. “Clearly, we are concerned that people are going to see that it was a catastrophe, and it certainly wasn’t good, but it wasn’t a catastrophe by any means,” Clay Gregory, president of tourism organization Visit Napa Valley, said as workers at a shuttered downtown visitor’s centre updated lists of open wineries and surveyed hotels about cancellations. “The real story is that it has impacted a very small part of the valley.” In Napa Valley, two hotels and 12 wineries were still closed Monday, as well as many of the businesses downtown, he said. Local officials have an early working estimate that Napa Valley suffered $1 billion in property damage, but they hope the long-term economic impact of the quake to businesses will be modest, Napa County Supervisor Bill Dodd said. He said 80 per cent of the valley’s 500 or so wineries were unaffected. If people “think Napa is devastated, it’s anything but devastated. We’re only 24 hours out from an earthquake, and

we’re on our way back,” Dodd said. CoreLogic Eqecat, which models economic losses from disasters, estimates that insured losses from the earthquake could range from $500 million to $1 billion. Vineyards have already started to harvest their grapes, crush them and store the juice. If the earthquake had happened before the harvest, Eqecat notes, the losses would have been lower. The wine business and associated tourist crowds represent a bulk of Napa County’s economy. Visit Napa Valley estimates that 3 million tourists spend $1.4 billion a year within the county. The Napa Valley Vintners trade association says the industry generates more than $13 billion of economic activity each year, including 46,000 local jobs. The Napa Valley Wine Train, which offers tourists a three-hour journey through 18 miles of wine country, cancelled its service Monday but planned to resume trips Tuesday. Other tour operators said they were taking it one day at a time, readjusting tours as each winery decides when to reopen. “We’ve definitely had to make some last-minute adjustments for this week as people are assessing damage,” said Sherry Laseke, whose family owns Saint Helena Wine Tours, a boutique luxury tour operator. “Everybody is dealing with broken glass.” The 19th-century stone-and-masonry Victorian buildings that form the core of Napa’s downtown, and are part of the town’s attraction to tourists, were hit the hardest by Sunday’s earthquake. That included the Andaz Hotel, which suffered water damage and was declared uninhabitable on Sunday because of falling roof debris. Front desk host Omar Hurtado stood outside with a push broom Monday, holding the door for the newly hired cleanup crews that had replaced the guests evacuated after the earthquake. The hotel is hoping city inspectors will clear it to reopen by the end of the week, he said. “This is the time of year when we are sold out every night practically,” Hurtado said, noting that the August, September and October grape harvest represents the busiest time of year for both vintners and the visitors who come from all over the world to see them work.”

Carjacking brings jail PERPETRATOR OUT ON BAIL AT TIME OF INCIDENT BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Alone on the side of a rural road, having been ripped out of her car by her hair during a carjacking, a Central Alberta woman was frightened at first when a German Shepherd approached her. But Joanne Berg was about to find some relief from the traumatic incident. She put out her hand, to let the dog smell it and in return the dog licked her, comforting her. Not long before, Berg had driven by a car crash on Aspelund Road and was flagged down by a man and woman on the side of the road. She was heading home after turning off of Hwy 2 on May 15, 2013, at 7:30 p.m. The man, identified as Garnet Colby McInnes, 23, of Red Deer approached the car and asked Berg to take them to the hospital. Berg agreed and the woman and McInnes jumped into her car. As they drove, McInnes started directing Berg towards Bentley instead of the Red Deer hospital.

Berg started getting suspicious and noticed the smell of alcohol on the people she had just let into her car. McInnes then directed Berg to pull over, which she did. McInnes then undid Berg’s seatbelt, got out of the car and pulled Berg out by her hair. He got behind the wheel, drove off and left Berg in the ditch. McInnes pleaded guilty to robbery and two counts of breaching a court order Monday in Red Deer provincial court before Judge Jim Hunter. As McInnes drove off, Berg yelled at him to throw her purse out the window, which he did. That’s when the German shepherd showed up and comforted Berg. The dog then ran with Berg as she went down the road to get her purse. She called the police and waited with the dog for them to show up. Eventually the dog’s owner arrived. As the police were interviewing Berg, the owner called for his dog to come, but the dog put its head in her lap, trying to comfort her. McInnes was scheduled for a four-day trial to start Monday but his lawyer Allan Fay, of Calgary, and Crown prosecutor Ann MacDonald reached an agreement and

McInnes pleaded guilty to three charges. McInnes sat quietly in the prisoner’s box in handcuffs and leg irons, his hair in an unkempt mohawk and with a large tattoo on the left side of his neck reading “Reaper.” He apologized for his actions. Fay said McInnes was in the throes of a drug binge at the time and was running from police. He had been arrested one day prior to the carjacking, but released with conditions that he quickly violated. McInnes has been in custody since his arrest on May 27, 2013, and faces numerous charges from other incidents that took place in May 2013. Hunter sentenced McInnes to 30 months jail time, but he was given credit for 15 months served. He has 15 more months on these charges and other trials ahead, the next one starting in September. McInnes was also given a lifetime weapons prohibition and an order for his DNA was issued. Outside court after McInnes was sentenced, Berg said she was a little upset at the short prison sentence but kind of expected it to happen. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

An expropriation dispute that arose from a road improvement project at Lacombe has been resolved. The family of the late George Paul had opposed the plan to take land for a project to upgrade 34th Street east of Lacombe to form a ring road around the city. Dr. Darrell and Sherron Paul argued the city and Lacombe County’s road upgrade plan takes more land than necessary from their farm, where they grow canola, wheat, barley and hay. Two narrow strips totalling just under four acres are required from the Pauls as part of the project to widen, pave and create larger drainage ditches on 34th Street. They also contend a proposed access to their farmland is in the wrong place and will not be safe. Negotiations between the Pauls and the city failed to reach an agreement and council voted in February to pursue expropriation. A one-day expropriation inquiry was held in Lacombe in May. At the hearing, the city denied that its road upgrade plans would increase the likelihood or severity of flooding on the Paul lands. Lacombe chief administrative officer Norma MacQuarrie confirmed by email recently that expropriation is now complete. “The city and landowners entered into a formal settlement agreement, which is bound by a confidentiality clause,” she said. The ring road to take industrial and commercial traffic out of downtown Lacombe has been in the planning stages for nearly a decade. It will take traffic from Hwy 2A through industrial areas and then connect to Hwy 12. The $5.9-million project is being funded by both the city and county. Work is expected to begin next week. The Pauls or their lawyer could not be reached for comment on Monday. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Unsatisfied with the Crown and defence’s suggestion for sentence, a Red Deer provincial court judge gave a Red Deer man who pleaded guilty to a wild crime spree fuelled by drugs a lengthier sentence. Andrew Lagrelle, 27, was sentenced to four years in jail for a June 9 spree that included an armed liquor store robbery, breaking into a house, stealing a car, crashing the car, breaking into another house where Red Deer RCMP found him and assaulting a peace officer. Lagrelle’s counsel Patty MacNaughton and Crown prosecutor John Baharustani both suggested that Lagrelle should face a three-year sentence on Monday in Red Deer provincial court. However, Judge John Holmes didn’t feel three years was enough.

“I can’t go along with the three-year submission,” Holmes said. “I don’t think the danger to the public is satisfied with a three-year sentence.” The charges Lagrelle pleaded guilty to include robbery, assaulting a peace officer, resisting arrest, possessing a stolen car, breaching his probation and break and enter. Holmes then went through the series of crimes, recounting why he thought a fouryear sentence was prudent. It started at 11:30 a.m. when Lagrelle went into a Liquor Depot and selected two 750-ml bottles of rye and went to the counter. He produced a knife, threatened the clerk and stole the alcohol. He then stole a car from a nearby residence and headed south on 47th Avenue at high speed. Just in front of the Sunnybrook Farm Museum south of 32nd Street, he collided with

another vehicle. Lagrelle fled south into the trails along Piper Creek and emerged in the Bower neighbourhood. There, he broke into a residence. Police tracked Lagrelle to the residence, where they confronted him. Lagrelle pulled his knife again and threatened an officer. The officer disarmed Lagrelle and arrested him. MacNaughton said Lagrelle was high on methamphetamine at the time, adding her client has a history of struggling with addiction. Lagrelle apologized to the people impacted by his actions and said he would use the time to try to better himself. Though sentenced to four years total, Holmes gave Lagrelle a time served credit of four months, giving him 44 months left on his sentence. He was also given a 10-year weapons prohibition and a DNA sample order. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

DRIVER INJURED

LOCAL

BRIEFS RCMP charge two men over alleged chop shop Innisfail RCMP recovered five stolen vehicles on Saturday morning during an investigation into an alleged chop shop east of Innisfail. RCMP executed a search warrant at a rural property on South Pine Lake Road, where they found three pickup trucks, one snowmobile and an eightmetre (27-foot) camper. A chop shop is where stolen vehicles are disassembled to sell the parts. Two of the trucks had engines and drivetrains removed. Police also located a .22-calibre rifle with a homemade silencer attached. In Canada, any rifle that has a silencer attached is considered a prohibited firearm. Two men on site were arrested. Andrew Montague, 30, of Pine Lake, and Kris Rowe, 37, face several charges including possession of stolen property exceeding a value of $5,000. Montague is scheduled to appear in Red Deer provincial court on Sept. 5 for a bail hearing and Rowe will appear in court in Red Deer on Sept. 15 to speak to the charges. The file is still under investigation by Innisfail RCMP. The search was conducted with the assistance of members of the RCMP Auto Theft Units and Red Deer Police Dog Service.

CALGARY — Police were questioning three people Monday in the shooting of an innocent bystander outside a Calgary bar on the weekend. Natasha Mohamed Farah, 26, of Toronto, was killed when multiple shots were fired while she was standing with friends in the Beltline district. She went out Friday night with some friends Held at Lindsay Thurber High School to “socialize, have a few drinks and head home,” said acting Staff-Sgt. Michael Cavilla with the homicide unit. When the bar closed early Saturday, she was CALM hit by a stray bullet that likely came from a vehicle with several people inside. Beginning the week of Sept. 8th “We have a young, innocent female that was gunned down in front of a club,” Cavilla said. “This was reckless and tragic.” Three men were later arrested in a hotel in the city’s northwest and taken into custody. One was wanted on a Canadawide warrant for an attempted murder in Toronto. Police were still looking for a fourth man and

the victim and the four men, he added. Investigators are still trying to determine who was the intended target, Cavilla said. Several shots were fired and there were many people standing outside at the time.

“We are extremely fortunate that there was only one person hit with a bullet,” he said. A few people on Twitter, who identified themselves as Farah’s cousins, said they were shocked and angry to learn she had been killed.

Taboo trouble Perception

Several months ago, a few girlfriends and I had a day out in the city. What did we do on this day out in the city, you ask? Well, we had an extremely enlightening day mulling around the Taboo Sex show exhibit. I know what you are thinking, not your usual ‘Mom’s day out,’ but we thought LINDSAY what the heck! BROWN Let’s go for gold today, we are ME PLUS THREE kid free! I saw things my naive self had never even dreamed of in regards to the bedroom provisions. I felt as though I learned a little something and I even got some free samples and what seemed to be an industrial size tub of ‘erotic body chocolate.’ Oh, the wondrous things I could do with all of my new extravagances, I thought to myself while giving the husband my best attempt at bedroom eyes. … Unfortunately that look came off a bit more creepy than alluring. And with all things that I intend to use but never do, it got shoved in the bedside drawer never to be seen again … or so I thought, until just recently. I am cleaning the house in preparation for some upcoming parties, so I am doing a good intense job of it. I am wholly involved in my cleaning and have placed the children in my bedroom to watch a movie. I haven’t heard them for a while, and any parent knows that when the kids get quiet it means one of two things: ● They are badly hurt. ● They have got into something. Panic becomes me as I briskly halfwalk half-run toward the boudoir. At first I see Lars, I immediately notice the look of guilt that is painted all over his face. Something gooey glimmers off his little hands. He knows they are doing something wrong and is trying his damndest to play it cool. He does a terrible job of it. My second glance moves towards Sophie. At first I see her face is covered

in some sort of brown swath, I think it may be poop and I begin to gag a little. But then, then she begins placing the brown stuff in her mouth and gobbling it up like it is. ... OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ... NO! On my third take of the situation, everything becomes disturbingly clear. There sprawled on my bed is a bouquet of individually wrapped lube packs. All of them open and smeared upon my duvet like some kind of sadistic joke. A vibrator is humming somewhere between the bedside table and the bed and Sophie has her hands embedded in the industrial sized tub of erotic body chocolate. THIS CAN’T ACTUALLY BE HAPPENING. ... “Mama we found chocy!” The smile that gleams through her chocolatey face is so upsetting that I have to turn away. “Mom, what is this stuff? ... It’s so slippery!” Lars asks me while he tries to wrangle a pack of lube, attempting to keep it within the confines of his little four-year-old hands. OK, Lindsay, you must deal with this. As much as you’d like to walk away and pretend it is not happening you, have to deal with this. This horrid chain of events. The fact that your children are consuming sex chocolate, playing with lube and more than likely have been handling a vibrator. ... That of which is still MIA aside from its droning buzz that is creating an alarming murk into the forefront of your mind. Yes, it is time to deal with it. And so that is what I do. I clean up the girl, wipe off the boy’s hands, establish the vibrator’s locale and place everything back in its new spot at the top of the closet. A place where little hands cannot explore. As well as explain to Lars that ‘No condoms are not balloons and I will not blow one up for him.’ I end our unbelievably awkward conversation with advising the children in the utmost of ‘angry mom voices’ that, “We do not look through things that aren’t ours.” I think they heard me, but on the other hand I could have never foreseen that I would walk in on a display such as I did today.

Ice bucket challenge Boundaries important may be a game changer with opposite sex friends for non-profit world NEW YORK — The ice bucket challenge’s phenomenal success is making other charitable organizations rethink how they connect with a younger generation of potential donors. Since the ALS Association began tracking the campaign’s progress on July 29, it has raised more than $53.3 million from 1.1 million new donors in what is one of the most viral philanthropic social media campaigns in history. Thousands of people, including celebrities like Taylor Swift and Oprah Winfrey, have posted videos of themselves getting buckets of ice water dumped over their heads and challenging others to do the same — or donate money to The ALS Association, which raises money for Lou Gehrig’s disease research and assistance. The ice bucket challenge has shown it’s OK to be silly for a good cause, says Brian Mittendorf, a professor at the Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, who teaches courses in non-profit finance. “Normally the model is to find people who are passionate about a cause and then ask for donations or to educate people and then seek out donations. (The ice bucket challenge is) something that’s fun that people can do ... people are taking part in it and then taking the info and donating.” The viral nature of the effort surprised even The ALS Association. “This level of unprecedented giving is (something) I don’t think this country has seen before outside of a disaster or emergency,” said ALS Association spokesperson Carrie Munk. “We had no idea it would get to this point.” Who should get credit for making this a viral sensation depends on whom you ask. Some say it began earlier this

month when friends of a 29-year-old Boston man with ALS, a neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, did a group challenge. It’s also demonstrated that the average Joe or Jane can make waves. “One of the big take-aways is the power of individuals who are so tightly connected to a cause can really make a difference,” Munk said. “I’m pretty sure that if any company or any nonprofit had all of the public relations dollars in the world to come up with a campaign, we never would’ve seen this kind of success.” Lucretia Gilbert, executive director of The Pink Agenda, which raises money for breast cancer research and awareness, believes it will encourage other nonprofits to get creative on social media. “It’s a very simple thing and that’s kind of the beauty of it. Everyone can do this challenge,” she said. The effort comes at a time when private groups are searching for new ways to raise dollars in the wake of tighter federal government spending on basic medical research, including on diseases like ALS. The National Institutes of Health is spending about $30 billion this year, money that is divided in a highly competitive process to scientists around the country, and the world, to pursue what are deemed the most promising leads to understand various diseases and find new targets to fight them. Congress cut government spending last year; in 2012, the NIH’s budget was $30.8 billion. And even before those cuts, the agency’s budget hadn’t kept pace with inflation for about a decade. As a result, the NIH is funding about 1 in 6 grant applications — down from about 1 in 3 a decade ago, Director Francis Collins said.

STORY FROM PAGE C3 help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. “It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.” Take time to ponder your perceptions and question their origins. Ask the good and hard questions and be willing to challenge every assertion — especially your own. Murray Fuhrer is a self-esteem expert and facilitator.

PERCEPTION: The turnarounds

Can you absolutely know it’s true? Who would you be without that thought? How do you react when you believe that thought? The turnarounds are opportunities to consider the opposite of what you believe to be true. Though absolutely useful for self-assessment, I still recommend having someone trained in the process take you through it. To learn more about The Work, visit www. thework.com. Of course, if I really want to shift my perspective and bring everything back down to earth, I look at The Pale Blue Dot — the photograph of the planet Earth taken in 1990 by the Voyager 1 space probe from a distance of approximately 6 billion kilometers. In the photograph, the Earth is shown as a tiny, barely discernible dot — a faint blue flicker in the great expanse of space. And I might also read the words of American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist and author, Carl Sagan. It was Sagan who had requested NASA turn the camera on the Voyager 1 space probe around and take a photograph of Earth from the nearly unimaginable distance. “Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that TELUS we have some privileged OPTIK TV position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.

through. Our Focus counselors would be happy to help you, so please give them a call. Q: My 13-year-old son has a real penchant for irresponsible and selfish behavior. I took off early from work the other day so he could audition for a local community musical production. When I arrived at the school he was nowhere in sight, but his friend told me he was goofing off with a bunch of his classmates in the band room. After trying to reach him by phone and waiting 15 minutes, I headed back to work. He missed his audition and had to wait for me after school until I finished my workday. I thought I’d done the right thing, but other parents have suggested I was a bit harsh and now I’m starting to wonder. What do you think? Dr. Greg Smalley, vice-president, Family Ministries: Personally, I’d love to give you a standing “O” and shake your hand. What you did was courageous, and a huge favor to other parents who need the benefit of your inspiring example. Sadly, we’ve witnessed an unfortunate trend in recent years that has seen moms and dads “over-functioning” for their kids. This is typically displayed in parents doing things for their children that they should be doing for themselves, or in refusing to let their children experience character-building instances of discomfort and inconvenience. Often what is considered “helping” is instead stunting, in terms of equipping their children to become responsible and independent adults. Regrettably, when parents over-function, they usually end up raising under-functioning adults. So stick to your guns! You did the loving thing by allowing your son to suffer the natural consequences of his poor choice and selfish behavior. Keep it up, and chances are he’ll thank you for it someday.

Q: Is it OK for married persons to have friends of the opposite sex? While my husband was away on a weeklong trip, I had a male friend from work come over to help me care for our 18-month-old daughter. After she fell asleep, we hung out watching movies together. I told my husband about it, and now he’s upset and feels that I’ve betrayed him. Do you think he’s overreacting? Jim: I’m afraid you won’t find my answer JIM very reassuring. DALY While your motives may have been innocent, it’s my opinion that inviting over a male co-worker while your husband is out of town oversteps appropriate boundaries. Obviously, many married people enjoy healthy, nonromantic friendships with individuals of the opposite sex. But it’s important to handle these relationships wisely and to be on guard against hidden pitfalls. If you want to preserve the health of your marriage, it’s critical to place protective “boundaries” on these relationships. The truth is that it’s far easier than you may think to cross the line from a platonic friendship into a seemingly “harmless” romance. The danger is especially high when you and the other person have a lot in common. If these shared interests and compatible temperaments lead you to entertain “innocuous” thoughts such as, “This person understands me far better than my spouse,” you’re already treading on treacherous turf. I imagine your marriage is very important to you. If so, I’d encourage you to talk things through with your husband. Acknowledge that you made a mistake and reassure him of your love. If he’s unable to let it go, it may be because there are some deeper trust issues that the two of you need to work

C5 British screen icon dies at 90

those who completely adored him.“ The son of a university principal, Attenborough was born Aug. 29, 1923, into a family with strong liberal views and a tradition of volunteer work for humanitarian concerns. One of his younger brothers is naturalist David Attenborough, whose nature documentaries have reached audiences around the world. A small, energetic man with a round face that remained boyish even in old age, he was perfectly cast at the start of his career as the young sailor or airman of British movies during and after the Second World War. In his 1942 film debut as a terrified warship’s crewman in In Which We Serve, a 19-year-old Attenborough made a small part into one of the most memorable roles in the movie. In 1947, Attenborough gave one of the best performances of his career as the teenage thug Pinkie in Brighton Rock, the film version of Graham Greene’s novel. His youthful appearance nearly cost him the lead role in the original cast of The Mousetrap, because its author, Agatha Christie, didn’t think he looked like a police detective. But he starred with his wife, actress Sheila Sim, when the hit play opened in November 1952 and stayed for 700 performances. In 1959, Attenborough joined fellow actor Bryan Forbes in film production. The Angry Silence in 1960 was their successful debut, with Attenborough playing a strike-breaking factory worker. It was one of the first of the gritty, working-class films that heralded Britain’s “new realism” of the 1960s. Together, Forbes and Attenborough produced Whistle Down the Wind in 1961 and The L-Shaped Room in 1962. Their last film, 1964’s Seance on a Wet Afternoon, won Attenborough Best Actor awards from the London Film Critics and British Film Academy. In the meantime, he had appeared as a prisoner of war in 1963’s The Great Escape — known for its classic ensemble cast, including Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Charles Bronson — and starred in Guns at Batasi, for which he won another British Film Academy award. In 1967, he won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in The Sand Pebbles.

BRIEF Rare copy of Superman comic book fetches $3.2M NEW YORK — A rare, nearly flawless copy of Superman’s comic-book debut has sold for a super-powered price: $3.2 million. New York comics dealers Stephen Fishler and Vincent Zurzolo said Monday they submitted Sunday’s recordsetting bid in the eBay auction for Action Comics No. 1, the 1938 book in which the superhero first appeared. It’s believed to be the highest price ever paid for a comic book, surpassing $2.1 million for a similarly high-quality copy of the same book in 2011. “It’s hard to believe that a kid’s 10-cent comic could be worth that much money, but it is Superman. That’s an iconic thing,” Fishler said. “It’s the first time anybody saw what a superhero was like.” EBay confirmed the price but said it

British actor and director Richard Attenborough arrives at the Galaxy British Book Awards in London on Wednesday, April 9, 2008.

He transitioned into directing beginning with 1969’s First World War musical comedy Oh! What a Lovely War. He directed 12 films altogether, including A Bridge Too Far, A Chorus Line, Cry Freedom, Chaplin and Shadowlands. Attenborough was a constant advocate for the British film industry as well as other humanitarian causes, including his extensive work as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. He was awarded the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize in 1983.

Created by Cleveland teenagers Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Action Comics No. 1 introduces the Man of Steel’s Kryptonian backstory, earthly role as reporter Clark Kent and identity as a champion of the oppressed. About 100 to 150 copies are believed to exist, only a handful of them in top condition. The book just sold got a seldom-seen 9.0 on a 10-point scale used to measure vintage comic books’ condition. It was kept for decades in a cedar chest in the West Virginia mountains by a man who had bought it off a newsstand, seller Darren Adams recently told The Washington Post. Adams, a Federal Way, Washington-based collectibles dealer, didn’t immediately return a call Monday from The Associated Press. After the original owner died, a collector bought it from his estate and built a similar cedar chest to store it, Adams told the Post. Fishler and Zurzolo own ComicConnect.com, which auctioned the 2011 record-setter and a slightly less wellpreserved Action Comics No. 1 for more than $1 million in 2010. “It was just too good of an opportunity to pass up,” he said.

Richard Attenborough was a lord, an Oscar-winning director for the much-lauded Gandhi and an unflagging pillar to British cinema. But Attenborough, who died Sunday at 90, was best known as Dickie. Baby-faced as a young actor and whitely bearded in his older age, Attenborough — warmly known as “Dickie Darling” — presided over six decades of British moviemaking as both an actor and filmmaker with a genial warmth that endeared him to his fans and fellow actors. “I have no great interest in being remembered as a great creative filmmaker,” he told The New York Times when Gandhi was released in 1982. “I want to be remembered as a storyteller.” The actor’s son, Michael Attenborough told the BBC that his father died Sunday. He had been in poor health for some time. Prime Minister David Cameron issued a statement calling Attenborough “one of the greats of cinema”: “His acting in Brighton Rock was brilliant, his directing of Gandhi was stunning,” Cameron said. Ben Kingsley, who shot to stardom for his performance as Mahatma Gandhi, recalled Attenborough’s passionate 20-year struggle to bring Gandhi’s story to the big screen. The film won eight Oscars, including best picture (over E.T.), best director for Attenborough and best actor for Kingsley. “He placed in me an absolute trust and in turn I placed an absolute trust in him and grew to love him,” said Kingsley. “I along with millions of others whom he touched through his life and work will miss him dearly.” A product of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Attenborough made his screen debut in the patriotic 1942 Second World War film In Which We Serve. He served, too, in the Royal Air Force, and afterward became one of the bestknown actors of post-War Britain. In his 60-plus years of acting, he amassed some 70 credits, including Brighton Rock, The Great Escape, Doctor Dolittle, 10 Rillington Place, Jurassic Park (as the failed theme park developer) and the 1994 remake of Miracle on 34th Street.

When my mother passed away, my father remarried in Florida. He and his second wife went to a local lawyer and had a prenuptial agreement drawn up to protect his extensive assets for his children and grandchildren should he predecease his second wife. When Dad died, the agreement allowed his second wife to remain in the house and live off of their joint assets. When my stepmother died, we discovered that she had moved everything into her name before my fatherâ€™s death and consequently willed it to her family. My sister and I retained a lawyer in New York who aggressively pursued this through the prenuptial agreement and my fatherâ€™s will. But apparently, his prenup is not considered a binding contract in Florida and is essentially meaningless. We inherited nothing from my parentsâ€™ life of scrimping and saving. It may have protected my father in the event of a divorce, but it did not protect his estate. â€” Sad but Wiser Annieâ€™s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden â€” A Swedish TV network has apologized to Costa Rica for using the Central American countryâ€™s national anthem to promote a comedy show. TV4 is using the anthem in a trailer for Parlamentet, a popular game show featuring some of Swedenâ€™s bestknown comedians. After receiving complaints from Costa Ricans living in Sweden, Costa Rica lodged a diplomatic protest, calling it a â€œgrave disrespect to our national symbol.â€? Network spokesman Anders Edholm told The Associated Press that producers have apologized to Costa Ricaâ€™s ambassador in Sweden and Norway, and assured him they wonâ€™t show the trailer after the first episode of the season aired on Sunday. Edholm said producers picked the tune from a music library because it was â€œbeautiful and grandâ€? but werenâ€™t aware it was Costa Ricaâ€™s national anthem. â€œIf any Costa Ricans were offended we of course apologize,â€? he said. Costa Rican Ambassador Manuel Antonio Barrantes Rodriguez said he was pleased by the networkâ€™s promise not to use the anthem after Sunday. â€œAt the same time we feel offended,â€? he told AP. â€œItâ€™s outrageous to use a national anthem as background music.â€?

In January 1944, Ruth joined the Canadian Women’s Army Corp, trained in Vermillion and Edmonton and was stationed in Ottawa and Calgary, where she became a Sergeant while in service. After the war ended, she worked for Calgary Power until 1956, the year she married her loving husband J. Arnold Milman. Ruth and Arnold were proud parents to Gordon and Karin. Ruth was a great athlete; she played baseball (short stop), basketball, golf, yoga, badminton, bowling, tai chi, hiking, cross-country skiing, and mountain climbing. She was an active member of the Irricana Church of the Brethern, Gaetz United Church in Red Deer, St. David’s United Church in Calgary, and KIK Seniors in Irricana. She also volunteered with the Women’s Auxiliary at the Foothills Medical Centre for many years. Ruth loved her family and friends and enjoyed the laughter and fellowship and the good times they had together. She especially enjoyed many happy moments at Pine Lake where everyone was always welcome. Ruth was kind, loving, patient, and thoughtful, always willing to pitch-in and help out anywhere she could. She is cherished by all who knew her and will be greatly missed. Ruth is survived by her loving husband of fifty-eight years, Arnold Milman; daughter Karin Milman; daughter-in-law BJ (Rob) Fritz; grandchildren, Christopher (Vanessa) Ropchan, Jennifer (Jonathon) Exner, Daniel and Kimberly Milman; and great-grandchildren, Maia Rophchan, Samantha and Denna Exner.

ings and left tens of thousands of people homeless. The death toll on the Israeli side has been much lower, largely because of Israel’s network of air raid sirens, bomb shelters and the Iron Dome missile-defence system. Yet Israel’s defences have been largely ineffective against short-range mortar fire - a deficiency underscored when a 4-year-old boy was killed Friday by a Palestinian mortar shell. “The community is very close to the border, and we have almost no warning of incoming fire,” said Elazar Ashtivkar, a 30-year-old father of four who left Nahal Oz, the scene of the deadly attack, several weeks ago with his family. He said the family is now staying in a nearby kibbutz, where he has 15 to 20 seconds to get to a shelter, which he said is an improvement. He said nearly all of Nahal Oz’s roughly 400 residents have left. Only a few workers in charge of taking care of the cows along with some security personnel remain, he said. “The agricultural fields were destroyed. There is nothing now,” he said. He said he will return as soon as it is safe. “We just want quiet. We don’t want to be scared when our kids go to school,” he said. The military says Gaza militants have fired at least 1,400

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM — Hundreds of Israelis left their homes along the border with the Gaza Strip on Monday, reflecting growing frustration over the war with Hamas and the Palestinian mortar fire raining down on their communities. Tens of thousands of Israelis have fled the area in nearly two months of fighting, which has turned the communities into virtual ghost towns. With the school year fast approaching, the government began offering assistance to residents Monday in the first large-scale voluntary evacuation in nearly eight weeks of fighting. Officials estimate that 70 per cent of the 40,000 inhabitants of the farming communities along the Gaza border have left over the course of the fighting, including hundreds on Monday. Some went to stay with relatives and friends, while others are staying at hostels or were taken in by strangers who want to help fellow Israelis. Fields that once yielded vegetables and flowers are barren and pockmarked by Palestinian mortar shells. Streets are empty and most homes eerily silent. The fighting has killed more than 2,100 Palestinians, according to Gaza officials, levelled thousands of build-

mortars on the border communities since the fighting began. It is not the first time residents have left their homes during the fighting. Several weeks ago, heavily armed Gaza militants tunneled into territory near their communities, terrifying residents and sparking an exodus. Only a few people sat down for lunch at the normally bustling dining room at Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha on Monday. The community was mostly devoid of people. Children’s swings swayed in the wind on the empty playground. Homes bore the marks of shrapnel from Palestinian mortars. Elena Glass was among the few residents who decided to stay. “We are not going to move because this is our house and we have to defend this place,” she said. “I understand all the families that moved out because of the children, but someone has to stay here. But it is not simple. I think of my children all the time because they are working outside without shelter.” The government this week offered to help anxious Israelis close to the war zone leave their homes, the first time it has sponsored a large-scale evacuation. “It is their right to leave, and we will assist them with temporary solutions,” Finance Minister Yair Lapid said.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — The centre of Tropical Storm Cristobal was slowly moving away from the Bahamas on Monday, leaving behind flooded communities across a swath of soaked Caribbean islands and resulting in at least three fatalities. Flight operations were suspended at the main airport in the drenched Turks & Caicos Islands. Government offices and banks were shuttered Monday on the low-lying islands that are highly vulnerable to flooding from heavy rains and storm surge, and authorities said many homes were flooded, especially on North and Middle Caicos islands. “It is absolutely shocking and horrifying to see people’s lives impacted in this way,” Minister of Border Control and Labor Ricardo Gardiner said in Turks and Caicos, where officials said the hovering storm bands dumped some 12 inches (30 centimetres) of rain since Friday. The storm was moving north-northeastward as it pulled away from the Bahamas archipelago, but it was forecast to curve away from the U.S. East Coast. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said strengthening is expected and Cristobal could become a hurricane on Wednesday as it moves over open waters west

of the mid-Atlantic British territory of Bermuda. In the Bahamas, government meteorologists warned that severe thunderstorms from the storm’s outer bands posed threats Monday to Mayaguana, Acklins and a few other islands and they called for boaters to return to port and residents to stay indoors. On the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, two Dominican men drowned and two Haitians went missing when they were caught up in waterways swollen by Cristobal’s driving rains. Authorities say they are still searching for the two Haitians missing since late Saturday in Saint Marc, a port town on the country’s west coast. On Monday, the Turks & Caicos governor’s office reported one storm fatality in the tiny archipelago, saying a body was recovered from floodwaters on the main island of Providenciales. About 3,600 people were evacuated from communities in the Dominican Republic, according to Jose Manuel Mendez, director of the country’s emergency operations centre. More than half returned to their homes by Monday. Some 23 rural communities were marooned over the weekend. Roughly 640 Haitian families were left temporarily homeless during the passage of the storm, according to Luckecy Mathieu, a civil protection co-ordinator.

BRIEF Liberian doctor who got experimental Ebola drug dies

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A casket containing the body of Michael Brown is wheeled out Monday at Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis. Hundreds of people gathered to say goodbye to Brown, who was shot and killed by a Ferguson, Mo., police officer on Aug. 9. school diploma while wearing a cap and gown. Two days after his death, he had been scheduled to start training to become a heating and air conditioning technician. Sharpton also took the black community to task, saying it should be as upset about black-on-black crime as it is about police violence: “We have to be outraged by our disrespect for each other.” “Blackness,” he added, “has never been about being a gangster or a thug.” Money and possessions prestige mean little, he said, “if we can’t protect a child walking down the street in Ferguson and protect him and bring justice.” Brown’s death fueled nearly two weeks of street protests in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. But his father, Michael Brown Sr., asked protesters to

observe a “day of silence” Monday to let the family grieve. The request appeared to be honoured. At the Ferguson Police Department, where a small but steady group of protesters have stood vigil for two weeks, a handmade sign announced a “break for funeral.” On Monday afternoon, the West Florissant Avenue commercial corridor was also devoid of protesters, whose ranks have typically swelled as days turned to nights. After the service, Corey Thomas, a 34-year-old St. Louis man said the large crowd at the church reflected “that people are tired of being treated like dogs. They’re tired of being taken advantage of.” The mourners came to show their support because “it could be any one of us,” Thomas said.

ber as his country continues to battle a pro-Russian insurgency in its eastern regions. In a statement on his website, President Petro Poroshenko said snap elections would be held Oct. 26. Poroshenko said the dissolution, which was prefigured by the breakup of the majority coalition last month, was in line with “the expectations of the vast majority of the citizens of Ukraine” and called it a move toward “cleansing” the parliament. Many members of parliament “are allies of the militants-separatists,” Poroshenko said, referring to the pro-Russian rebels who have battled government troops in the country’s east since April. The Party of Regions, which is backed by much of the country’s industrial, Russian-speaking east and was supported by pro-Russian ex-president Viktor Yanukovych, was the largest party in parliament before Yanukovych fled the country in the wake of massive protests in February and still has a substantial presence. Most of these members “accepted dictatorial laws that took the lives of the Heaven’s Hundred,” he said, using the common term for those killed during the protests against Yanukovych, many by sniper fire. He emphasized the need to elect new leaders from the war-torn areas of east Ukraine in order to represent the region in the new government. It wasn’t clear how it would be possible to conduct elections at such short notice in Donetsk and Luhansk, where hundreds of thousands have fled their homes and shelling between rebel and government

forces continues daily. Over the past month, Ukrainian forces have made substantial inroads against pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine, taking control of several sizeable towns and cities that had been under rebel control since April, when the clashes began. But the advances have come at a high cost — more than 2,000 civilians reportedly killed and at least 726 Ukrainian servicemen. There is no independent figure for the number of rebel dead, although Ukrainian authorities said Monday that 250 rebels were in fighting around Olenivka, 25 km south of Donetsk. Many have expressed hopes ahead of a summit Tuesday in Minsk, Belarus, that includes both Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

MONROVIA, Liberia — A Liberian doctor who received one of the last known doses of an experimental Ebola drug has died, officials said Monday. Separately, Canada said it has yet to send out an untested vaccine that the government is donating. Ebola has left more than 1,400 people dead across West Africa, underscoring the urgency for developing potential ways to stop and treat the disease. However, health experts warn these drugs and vaccines have not undergone the rigorous testing that usually takes place before they are used. The experimental vaccines are at still at a Canadian laboratory, said Patrick Gaebel, spokesman for the Public Health Agency of Canada, who declined to speculate how many weeks it could be before those are given to volunteers. “We are now working with the (World Health Organization) to address complex regulatory, logistical and ethical issues so that the vaccine can be safely and ethically deployed as rapidly as possible,” Gaebel said. Earlier this month, Canada said it would donate 800 to 1,000 doses of an Ebola vaccine that it developed. Likely candidates include health care workers treating Ebola patients. The experimental drug known as ZMapp has been tried in only six people. Health experts caution that since ZMapp was never tested in humans, it is unclear whether it works. The small supply is now said to be exhausted and it is expected to be months before more can be produced. Dr. Abraham Borbor, the deputy chief medical doctor at Liberia’s largest hospital, had • Provides a cost-effective teaching tool for local classes by received ZMapp, along placing newspapers into the hands of students and teachers with two other Liberians.

ST. LOUIS — The mourners filled an enormous church to remember Michael Brown — a “gentle giant,” aspiring rapper and recent high school graduate on his way to a technical college. But the funeral that unfolded Monday was about much more than the black 18-year-old who lay in the closed casket after being shot to death by a white police officer. The emotional service sought to consecrate Brown’s death as another in the long history of the civil rights movement and implored black Americans to change their protest chants into legislation and law. “Show up at the voting booths. Let your voices be heard, and let everyone know that we have had enough of all of this,” said Eric Davis, one of Brown’s cousins. The Rev. Al Sharpton called for a movement to clean up police forces and the communities they serve. “We’re not anti-police. We respect police. But those police that are wrong need to be dealt with just like those in our community that are wrong need to be dealt with,” Sharpton said. Two uncles recalled how Brown had once predicted that someday the whole world would know his name. “He did not know he was offering up a divine prophecy,” Bernard Ewing said. More than 4,500 mourners filled Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis for the service, which at times seemed like a cross between a gospel revival and a rock concert. It began with upbeat music punctuated by clapping. Some mourners danced in place. The crowd included the parents of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed 17-year-old African-American fatally shot by a neighbourhood watch volunteer in Florida, along with a cousin of Emmitt Till, a 14-yearold murdered by several white men while visiting Mississippi in 1955. Till’s killing galvanized the civil rights movement. Also in attendance were several White House aides, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, moviemaker Spike Lee, entertainer Sean Combs and some children of Martin Luther King. The Rev. Charles Ewing, the uncle who delivered the eulogy, said Brown “prophetically spoke his demise.” And now his blood is “crying from the ground. Crying for vengeance. Crying for justice.” Poster-size photos of Brown, wearing headphones, were on each side of the casket, which had a St. Louis Cardinals ball cap atop it. Large projection screens showed a photo of him clutching his high

Polio vaccine best used together ORAL AND INJECTABLE USED IN TANDEM THE BEST WAY TO ERADICATE POLIO BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

India, where the world’s lowest vaccine efficacy of OPV was described,” he said from Vellore, India, where he works at the Christian Medical College. The study, by scientists from India and from the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, looked at the response of children previously vaccinated with OPV who were given a booster dose of OPV, IPV or a placebo. They found the children who received IPV got the best immune response. “Our study provides strong evidence that IPV boosts intestinal immunity among children with a history of multiple OPV doses more effectively than an additional OPV dose,” the authors wrote. The World Health Organization has already changed its policy on polio vaccine and is no longer recommending an all-OPV approach for countries which until now have used only the oral vaccine.

TORONTO — For decades scientists have debated whether injectable or oral polio vaccine is the best option for trying to finish the job of eradicating polio. Now a new study offers an answer: both. The research, published Thursday in the journal Science, says using at least one dose of the more expensive injectable vaccine after children have been vaccinated with the oral serum should speed up eradication. It would also make safer the process of withdrawing the oral vaccine — which contains live but Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It now recommends that weakened virus — a critical step in the intricately plotted countries that use only OPV A displaced Syrian child receives vaccination against polio at one strategy for eliminating polio, should introduce at least one of the Syrian refugee camps in the southern port city of Sidon, known as the end game. dose of the injectable vac- Lebanon.

Gut immunity is thought to be critical because it is believed that is where the virus latches on and begins the infection process. “This was a critical new piece of knowledge and this knowledge now allows for new strategies, which in turn could lead to an accelerated eradi† cation of the remaining strains of polio virus,” lead author Dr. Hamid Jafari, the World Health ORYSIA F.

(20114 Focus S 4 Door Manual am mount show wn) The community of researchers and public health organizations working on polio eradication have argued for years over whether OPV, as the oral vaccine is called, can get the job done in the developing world.
