FOAM SWEET FOAM
BARK AT THE BEND
An emotional reunion BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Despite an underlying somber tone, excited four legged furry friends tore through Red Deer’s river side off-leash dog park. Soaking up the sun at Three Mile Bend, the annual Bark at the Bend event took over the park Saturday morning with pancakes, photo shoots, games and strolls around the park. All in support of programming offered by the Red Deer and District SPCA. Adjacent to the registration table was a memorial for Maya, a Milk River rescue dog adopted by Kyle Wallis and Kaitlyn Ball. Maya died on June 11 after being run over by a truck at Three Mile Bend while she and Kyle were out for a walk. “It was gruesome,” said Wallis. “Having your best friend and dog die in your arms.” The couple adopted Maya when she was just eight weeks old from the Red Deer SPCA. “We saw a bunch of other dogs and Kaitlyn asked about the black one (Maya),” said Wallis. “We looked at it and all the other dogs seemed interested in everything else around us and Maya wanted to see us.” In the five months they had with Maya they traveled a bit visiting Kelowna and went to Three Mile Bend practically every day. Wallis and Maya were out for a walk when a truck tore through the park. “Next thing I know the front tire and back tire hit her,” said Wallis. “They kept driving. “I held Maya and was screaming.” Wallis said charges are pending against the driver of the truck at the time. The annual event, which has been in existence in some form for the past 15 years, is a fundraiser for programs run by the Red Deer and District SPCA. Tara Hellewell, SPCA executive director, said this year’s event is in support of their canine companion outreach program, where dogs go into long term care facilities as a form of pet therapy. It is also in support of the emergency shelter program, a place for pets to go of people facing life crises such as stays at Women’s Emergency Shelter or drug/alcohol detoxification or rehabilitation programming. About 40 teams of dog and companion, and one cat and companion team, go into various care facilities offering the therapeutic benefits of animal companionship. The program is also growing to include children going through a healing process or with developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder. The adoption reunion, a first for the SPCA, brought back many adopted dogs and not just those who were rescued from Milk River. “The Milk River ones have really bounced back from being really shy, quiet and not brave animals,” said Hellewell. “Now being in a normal environment they look better, happier and they have confidence. It’s good for them to be able to show off and share that with everyone.” A total of 40 Milk River rescue dogs were taken in by the local SPCA. Of those 34 have been adopted out. “We still have about six dogs right now waiting for adoption,” said Hellewell. “They’re the ones with more challenging behavioural issues.” Some still lack confidence with people while others have some neurological issues.

Back in the classroom, 19 years later BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF It may be a first step, but it is a big one for a Bethany CollegeSide resident who is working towards completing her degree some 19 years after she had to stop. Now 57, Lois Aarhus had been toying with the idea of finishing her psychology degree for a few years when her social worker Joanne McCready and a summer social work student looked into an option for her through Red Deer College. Just two or three classes short of her bachelors degree in psychology, Aarhus made the tough decision to put her studies. “It always really bothered me, it was something that never got finished,” said Aarhus. “There were circumstances that made it impossible for me to go on.” Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at 19 and with three children at the time it became too difficult for her to continue her studies. McCready and the student went over Aarhus’ marks and saw she had done very well in school almost two decades ago. So they suggested Aarhus audit a course at Red Deer College. While not receiving credit for the course, auditing allowed Aarhus to be a full participant in class but as a smaller step to getting back into the rhythm of

‘We can tell that people are using it’ FIRST FOUR WEEKS OF PROGRAM DIVERTS 57 TONNES OF WASTE BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF
GREEN CART PILOT PROJECT
Red Deerians diverted 57 tonnes of waste from the landfill in the first four weeks of the Green Cart Pilot. Keran Braich, a city waste diversion specialist, said the city did not know what to expect for volumes when the project was rolled out on April 27. Organic waste such as branches, coffee grounds, tables scraps and dryer lint is collected every week from 2,000 selected households across the city. “We were pretty impressed with that amount,” she said. “Even with our spot checks, we can tell that people are using it.” As they become more comfortable with the pro-
gram, more participants are expected to use the carts, said Braich. But she anticipates the volumes may go down in the winter months because there will be no yard waste. The pilot is the latest city initiative in the plans to reduce the per capita waste disposal rate to 600 kg per capita from the current 812 kg by 2020. Residential homes generate about 30 per cent of the waste ending up in the landfill. Up to 40 per cent of the household waste are organics. The city ships the organic waste to a site near Penhold to be composted for agricultural land. The city recently conducted a waste composition

Braich said once the city has completed a few more audits, they will have more concrete information to share with the public. If the program is successful, it may go citywide in 2017. The city is collecting feedback from participants in the two-year program. On average, the city landfilled 300 tonnes of waste per day in 2013 at its regional landfill. A whopping 91,313 tonnes of waste of all kinds went into the landfill in 2013, compared to 90,266 in 2012 and 86,277 in 2011. In Red Deer alone, nearly 75,000 tonnes of trash was thrown out. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Gravel pit foes holding public meeting
WALK FOR ALZHEIMER’S
BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

Hannah Audette and her brother, Michael, play giant Jenga at Sunnybrook Farm Museum as part of the annual Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer’s festivities on Saturday evening. The walk, a free barbecue for participants, and other activities were part of the event, which acts as a fundraiser for alzheimer’s support services in the region. Last year, $40,000 was raised.
Landowners opposed to a proposed Mountain View County gravel pit are hoping to rally others to their cause. The newly formed Eagle Creek Valley Landowners’ Association is holding a public meeting on June 28 at James River Community Hall from 10 a.m. to noon to talk about Border Paving’s proposal to open a new pit about 15 km northwest of Olds. Hoping there is strength in numbers, the association aims to recruit as many others to its cause as it can by explaining why the pit is such a concern, said association member Marg Funfer. “The more members we can get to commit to it, the stronger our argument will be,” said Funfer. A dozen people spoke at a public hearing last month on an application, which was approved by county council, to rezone the site for the 109-acre gravel pit from agricultural to an aggregate extraction/processing district. Funfer said they have not given up despite the setback. “Really from that public meeting we felt unheard,” she said. “It was like the decision was made at the first sentence of the hearing.” A development permit must be approved for the gravel pit before it can go ahead and residents intend to make sure their concerns are heard. Noise, traffic and dust have all been raised as issues by those opposed. There are also concerns that gravel extraction could raise already-shallow water tables in the Eagle Creek area and may disrupt aquifers that homeowners and farmers rely on for their water. Funfer said the gravel pit would be the third in a small area that is within a kilometre of her home in River Valley Estates, a small rural subdivision of more than a dozen residences. Border Paving says its application must be approved by the county and provincial regulators, who will assess environmental issues, including impact on water, before any project can proceed. The company doesn’t expect to begin the application process until this winter. The company has committed to working with area residents to address concerns. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

DOGS: Very specific people The SPCA is treading softly with these dog’s rehabilitation and looking for very specific people and circumstances for adoption. “The community really stepped up. They opened their homes,” said Hellewell. Talking about the tragedy of Maya being run over, Hellewell said the Three Mile Bend needs more fencing in some areas of the park and signage around the park to improve dog safety. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

The course she is auditing, psychology 261 at RDC, is one she took when she was working towards her degree. But over that time period many elements of the course has changed as the theories and ideas behind some of the course material has changed. “Just because I took the course way back when, doesn’t make it any easier now,” said Aarhus. RDC now offers a psychology degree through the school, but with professors from the University of Calgary coming to teach. When Aarhus started her degree many of the classes were offered at RDC, but she had to go to Calgary for some of the classes. “I feel like the dinosaur, like I’m from the ice age,” said Aarhus. “These students are so quick. “I make a point of asking questions and as far as I know they are substantial questions. I contribute to class discussions.” McCready said Aarhus has been notably brighter and happier since she returned to the classroom. “She has something to look forward to,” said Mc-

Donna Strome and her sons Jonathan, left, and Dawson Strome lead the annual 2015 Red Deer Walk for ALS on Saturday morning at Great Chief Park.

ALS is a progressive neuromuscular disease where nerve cells die and leave voluntary muscles paralyzed. Two to three Canadians die from this disease every day.
Midnight in the presidential library with Putin: An exercise in control
OTTAWA — A senator facing published allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl that ended earlier this year has hired a lawyer. Ottawa law firm Conway Baxter Wilson LLP issued a two sentence statement on Sunday saying Sen. Don Meredith has retained Ottawa lawyer Colin Baxter and that he intends to respect the Senate’s internal procedures. The statement says Meredith has been retained “with respect to proceedings” of the Senate Ethics officer and a Senate committee, but does not provide further details. Senate Speaker Leo Housakos said last week that he referred the allegations involving Meredith to the ethics officer. Meredith quit the Conservative caucus last week after the Toronto Star reported that a woman said she had a sexual relationship with him that began shortly after she turned 16. The woman told the Star that Meredith initially believed her to be 18, but she told him her true age within six weeks of their first meeting. The Star report said the woman, who is now 18, had sexually explicit online chats with Meredith and that the relationship progressed to kissing and touching before she turned 18. She said the pair had intercourse twice after she turned 18 before Meredith, 50, broke off the relationship earlier this year. The Senate is also conducting what it calls a workplace assessment. Although there is no formal complaint against him, Senate sources have confirmed that the review is looking into allegations against Meredith of verbal abuse, bullying and sexual misconduct in the workplace. Meredith is now sitting as an Independent.

Autistic teen who went missing in Manitoba found safe in Ontario, parents say

Russian President Vladimir Putin, left, meets with AFP’s Florence Biedermann, centre, and PA Chief Executive Clive Marshall at the St. Petersburg International Investment Forum in St.Petersburg, Russia, Friday the average Russian. The control was evident when officials summarily pulled the plug on the live feed of his meeting with the news agency heads after the first question, an uncomfortable one from Agence France-Presse about the seizure of Russian government assets in France and Belgium in a dispute over the defunct oil giant Yukos. The meeting was carried live on one of Russia’s 24 Hour news channels and it took several minutes for staff to replace the blank screen. Putin aides told an upset Russian and international press corps that “some of the participants wanted it to be an off-the-record meeting.” When the absurd notion of western news bosses agreeing to a closed-door meeting was challenged by international reporters, Putin’s handlers just shrugged. By 1:15 a.m., the news agencies — still eager to keep the conversation going — turned to his personal life. He spoke about having a full relationship with his daughters and “good relations with my ex-wife and plans for my future. I’m OK.” The questions were going to keep coming, but looking at the time Putin asked: “Are you mad?”
Manitoba premier promises students will learn about residential schools WINNIPEG — Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger says his government is moving forward with recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for teaching aboriginal history and culture in schools. The NDP government announced on Sunday that a new four-point plan will ensure students in Manitoba learn the legacy of residential schools as well as the 60s Scoop. The ’60s Scoop refers to the practice in the 1960s and beyond of removing aboriginal children from their families to live in non-aboriginal homes. Selinger says the plan includes introducing legislation this fall for a new First Nation, Metis and Inuit education policy for teaching the history and culture of aboriginals as well as the significance of treaties.
PM
With the euphoria of Crimea’s “return” dimming for a recession-weary public; a grinding, dirty little war on his western border; and the economic hemorrhaging of international sanctions and rock-bottom oil prices, the more subdued business-as-usual air is probably not surprising. Yet, his dexterity in playing international foil was still clear with his wooing of fiscally wayward Greece — a flirtation that at the very least fractures the facade of European Union solidarity. “If the EU wants Greece to pay its debts it should be interested in growing the Greek economy....helping it pay its debts,” he said, referring to a $2.7-billion pipeline deal announced as part of his economic forum. “The EU should be applauding us.... What’s wrong with creating jobs in Greece?” Unrepentant on Ukraine despite the economic isolation and international outlier status it has bestowed, Putin blamed President Petro Poroshenko for not delivering promised political reforms brokered at Minsk. He blamed the West for a “coup d’etat” in Kyiv. He was asked: Was there Russian corruption in the World Cup bid? “If anyone has evidence, let them present it. We won it in a fair fight and are going to host the World Cup,” he said. Putin’s beating of the patriotic drum and increasing control of the media has kept his approval rating in the stratosphere of near 80 per cent, despite growing economic hardship for
WINNIPEG — Police say an autistic teenager from a community near Winnipeg has turned up safe. Media reports quote Nicholas Read’s family as saying the 16-year-old was found far from home in Pickering, Ont. He reportedly hitched a ride with a trucker who later called police. RCMP in East St. Paul, Man., say the teen was located “safe and sound” late Saturday. They say they won’t be releasing further details out of respect for his family, but thanked the public and media for their help. The teen went missing Wednesday after his father dropped him off at school. His parents told media on Friday that he may have taken off due to mounting stress at school and in his personal life.
7: 30
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — When the heads of the world’s major news agencies sat down a year ago with Vladimir Putin at a St. Petersburg palace, they were treated to a long, sumptuous meal of Crimean flounder, a dish evidently chosen not only for its delicacy but for the political statement. This year it was tea and caviar at the stroke of midnight in a wood-panelled library. The Russian president had just completed a whirlwind of back-to-back meetings on the sidelines of his showcase economic forum, an event where he also delivered a marathon question-and-answer performance under the folksy moderation of CBS News journalist Charlie Rose. He apologized for being hours late for the meeting with news agency heads. If you talk to other world leaders or the Russian media, Putin is always late — a reflection perhaps of his punishing schedule as much as a demonstration of who is in charge. Putin’s handlers and officials from the state-run news agency kept the news bosses busy with a tour of the presidential library and archive. Even still, the dozen invited news executives, whose editors and journalists shape public opinion from Washington to Delhi, were given a photoemblazoned library card granting them 100 years of access to the place. The Canadian Press, The Associated Press, and Reuters were among the news services that took part. Putin was relaxed and good-natured throughout the hour-long bid to cultivate his image — both at home and among an increasingly suspicious, if not outright hostile international audience. But the self-assured and determined courting of news agency heads that typified the same exercise last year was replaced with a toned-down, sober air. To Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s persistent criticism over Ukraine and suggested life-time ban from the G8, he started his answer by saying: “I don’t want to offend anyone.” Yet, his overall messages were hardly conciliatory. “If the United States says Russia should be returned to the G8, the prime minister will change his opinion,” Putin continued, following up his initial response with a pointed message.

Invert economic pyramid Recently, Mike Milke of the Fraser Institute wrote warning once again against government interference in wage levels, particularly against a minimum wage. In the past, he has warned against the temptation to raise taxes on the most profitable businesses and the top income-earners. Higher wages don’t just materialize, he says. They come from a finite (but GREG very large) pool NEIMAN of capital that’s better used to keep the economy growing. Such warnings are regarded as gospel pretty well everywhere in the industrialized world. Everywhere but in the new Alberta. Meanwhile, the real wage packets of 90 per cent of workers in the U.S. have fallen for 13 years, according to a Standard and Poor index. Incomes for the 10 per cent have ... well, you know. I doubt Canada’s experience is much different. Businesses taxes are rock-bottom, everywhere. So if Milke has things right, we should be living in the best of all possible worlds right now. Just like the
INSIGHT
misinformed Dr. Pangloss was always saying in Voltaire’s Candide. But you don’t need to be an economist to know it’s not true. Rather, there’s an argument to be made that Milke and his many friends have things upside down. Big profits for big business do not grow the economy. Rather they grow off the economy. The “economy” is all of us. And if 90 per cent of us have less and less of it every year, that can’t be good. Recently, a group of experts wrote a discussion paper for the International Monetary Fund. The findings of their exhaustive study were so heretical, they could not be directly attributed to the IMF. So they were released for discussion purposes only. OK then, let’s discuss. Their basic thesis is a direct repudiation of that of the Fraser Institute, and all other right-wing think tanks. Trickle-down economics does not work, the report says. When the rich get richer, they mostly just get richer. They do not invest in ways that benefit the rest of us. Who knew? We did. Welcome to the real world. When the income gap between the powerful and monied minority and the rest of us grows too large, the economy suffers. Why are corporations sitting on mountains of cash, not investing? Because we can’t afford to buy more of their stuff. Essentially, consumers are
tapped out, so there’s less new profit to be made building more factories to produce more stuff. I remember being part of the provincial discussion years ago in Alberta about raising the AISH allowance for the severely handicapped. My argument then — and it’s still the same — is that when you give a poor person a dollar, a rich person will have that dollar soon enough. AISH rates were raised — and lo and behold — landlords raised their rents soon after, making it more profitable to invest in rental housing for everyone. What AISH allowance is left after rent is paid (often forwarded to landlords right off the top) didn’t disappear, it’s spent. Business groups worry that raising the minimum wage will hurt their members’ bottom lines and/or hurt employment. But when people have more money, what do they do with it? They spend it, every cent, as fast as it comes in. The money is taxed in every transaction, and the profits go to the businesses best able to compete for it. You say higher wages just don’t just materialize? Sure they do. They materialize into the profits of small and large businesses, when consumer traffic increases. That’s why I say trickle-down economics does work. You just need to invert your view the income pyramid. All the money in the vast base filters into the hands of the rich and powerful
at the apex. Trickle-up economics, if you need to see it that way. The rich need to be taxed a fair share, because the social contract needs to be upheld for a stable society to be able to produce a strong consumer economy. Income redistribution has become a dirty concept in today’s politics. But I say — and international studies like that in the IMF agree — that where incomes are more equitable, you have a more stable, happy society. It takes fewer resources to police and suppress unrest in these places. Upward mobility is more achievable for the smart and the industrious, because the caste system that keeps the poor in their place is weaker. That’s why, at a certain point, governments need to intervene. They need to mandate a minimum wage, so that an honest day’s work reflects the honest cost of living for the day. They need to redistribute a negotiated portion of the top wealth into the vast and complex infrastructure of society that makes it possible for wealth to be accrued. That’s what our new Alberta government seems to be attempting. Milke and all the right-wing think tankers who speak for the powerful just need to reverse their charts.

Irrational attacks diminish debate In 1962, biologist and writer Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, a book about the widespread use of agricultural pesticides, and how toxic chemicals like DDT were threatening insects, birds and other elements of our natural world. It garnered widespread critical and popular acclaim and is heralded as the catalyst for the modern environmental movement. Carson’s ability to describe in simple but passionate language the great damage caused by pesticides, and her courage to express controversial ideas that rankled powerful business and political interests, helped propel the book to massive success. Agrochemical companies DAVID responded with furor, threatSUZUKI ening the publisher with a libel lawsuit and launching well-funded public relations campaigns touting the safety and necessity of agricultural chemicals. Critics of Silent Spring also attacked Carson personally, accusing her of being radical, unpatriotic and sympathetic to communism — a serious threat during the height of the Cold War. Even though Carson was a well-educated biologist with a master’s degree in zoology, she was dismissed as an amateur and a “hysterical woman” in industry journals and the popular press. Fortunately, she remained steadfast despite the attacks, and we have all benefited. Dangerous pesticides like DDT have been restricted and laws to pro-

tect the health of the environment and communities have been enacted around the world. But sadly, harassment and intimidation of environmental advocates continues. Some would argue it has worsened with the rise of social media, which amplifies messages of hatred and intolerance, often under the cowardly cloak of anonymity. We witnessed a recent example when David Suzuki Foundation senior scientist Faisal Moola was attacked on social media for supporting a campaign — on his own time as a private citizen — asking Tim Hortons to stop running ads for controversial oilsands pipeline company Enbridge on its in-store TV channel. The company had been running the commercials in about 1,500 Tim Hortons coffee shops in an attempt to resurrect its sinking brand among Canadians. Moola was one of 28,000 Canadians who wrote or tweeted to ask Tim Hortons to pull the Enbridge campaign from its network, but he was singled out for attack by right-wing oilsands promoter and pundit Ezra Levant, who accused him on Twitter of being a “foreign-funded extremist” responsible for Tim Hortons’ decision to stop running the ads. At one point, Moola’s name was trending nationally on Twitter, largely because of the barrage of hate messages he was receiving every few minutes, including many xenophobic and racist attacks on his ethnic background and Muslim religion. He was accused of being “anti-Canadian,” an “extremist” and even a “terrorist” because of his opposition to oilsands expansion — even though 100 fellow scientists just released a public statement calling for a moratorium on new oilsands development. Moola’s experience, like that of Rachel Carson’s a half-century earlier, shows that environmental

advocacy has never been easy. As Heiltsuk community organizer and First Nations leader Jess Housty says, “Activism is hard. It pits you against forces that have a lot at stake, and who fight dirty and bite back hard.” I’ve spoken to thousands of environmental and community activists during many years of meeting with Canadians across this country. I’ve heard too many stories of people being harassed, ostracized, sued for standing up to large corporations and even fired from jobs because of their environmental advocacy. Canada is blessed to have strong laws that protect human rights and prohibit hate speech, and the courts have held accountable those who’ve defamed people with xenophobic accusations. And we rarely have to fear the levels of violence faced by environmental and social justice advocates in other parts of the world. But recent polls reveal the uncomfortable truth that many Canadians hold intolerant, even racist, beliefs. Reading comments sections of online publications and Facebook and Twitter posts, and listening to call-in radio shows can be disheartening. People often express the worst of their tribal instincts on these public forums, and discussion of difficult issues like the oilsands often degenerates into personal, irrational and sometimes hateful rhetoric. Canadians must continue to speak out for our water, land, air and wildlife, for justice for Indigenous Peoples, and for a clean energy future — without fear of harassment, intimidation and hatred.

Turning their lives around HOW A TEENAGED DRUG DEALER, THIEF AND BAD DAUGHTER GOT THEIR LIVES BACK ON TRACK
SENATE NEEDS TO DO ITS DUTY, DEFEAT ANTI-UNION BILL: TORY SENATOR
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SURREY, B.C. — When Rob Rai and the Surrey School District opened the Wrap Project in 2009, those starting the dedicated anti-gang program plainly acknowledged that groups of local teenagers were committing serious crimes. The launch was progressive action from the city southeast of Vancouver, which had been plagued for decades by drug-related gun violence, Rai said. The need for the unit is especially apparent after a spate of shootings in the last three months in Surrey and neighbouring Delta. One person has been killed and several others have been injured in about three dozen shootings. The federal government recently signed a $3.5 million contract over five years in added funding for the prevention program that will immediately wipe out a waiting list of 30 students. “I don’t want to sound arrogant or anything, but I think we are doing a good job,” said Rai. “We’re taking the farm team away. The up-andcomers who are trying to get to the big leagues, we’re trying to stop them right here.” These are the stories of three Surrey teenagers who say participating in Wrap steered them from crime to productive paths. Their names have been changed to protect their anonymity. Donald, 18: The tattooed younger brother of a notorious Surrey, B.C., gangster was dealing drugs in his early teens because of his sibling’s influence and easy connections. He never applied for a job at McDonald’s like his peers because he didn’t know how to write a resume. His family was briefly affluent when he was a child, but his abusive father eventually walked out and his brother, five years his senior, tried to resume a lavish lifestyle with drug proceeds. They no longer had much to eat. Teachers referred him to special programming starting in Grade 3 to deal with his anger issues and misbehaviour. When his mom tossed him from home in Grade 8 he moved to the corner to make cash. Things changed with a new girlfriend, his desire to reconcile with his mom and his entry in the Wrap program, which offered him people to trust when he had nobody else. “A family looks out for you and they look out for each and every one of their other kids who are in the team. That’s why they’re family,” said Donald. He’s now the first in his family to graduate from high school. Donald earned a scholarship to continue education in welding and said his passion for the culinary arts is his Plan B. Terrence, 18: The outwardly reserved teenager was arrested and jailed about twice weekly on theft and weapons allegations starting in Grade 8. He considered himself “better” than his middleclass parents and sisters, preferring to hang with friends sometimes a decade older who drove nice cars. He was signed up to Wrap and delighted when mentors bought him lunch, but continued stealing with his crew until he learned “the hard way” he was being used. Terrance credits Wrap’s staff for his graduation from high school.

A boy works out in a gym as he takes part in the Wrap Project in Surrey, B.C. Thursday, June 11, 2015. The Wrap program, launched in January 2009, steers troubled youth toward the right path by providing genuine mentors and opportunities, such as help with schoolwork and employment. “I fell down more than a few times. I went to at least six, seven high schools. Every time I’d fall, they were still there,” said Terrence, explaining how they built trust with him. “All your friends tell you that police officers are bad and teachers don’t know. You get manipulated into thinking that way. Then after you start talking to them and everything, you start realizing they’re good people.” He has since mentored troubled youth himself. He’s considering joining the military. Megan, 18: The bubbly teenager wearing hot orange pants started cooking, cleaning and taking care of her younger siblings at age 10. She moved to Canada from Ghana with her father and mother two years earlier. Both would leave for work about the same time she arrived home from school. She was beaten and insulted by her mom starting at about age 13 because she couldn’t always handle the responsibility. Megan tried to keep the abuse a secret, over fear she or her siblings would be removed from their home, but finally contacted an empathetic school counsellor. She was directed into an outreach program, gained a mentor who chauffeured her places and gave her life advice like an older sister. Without the program, Megan is pretty sure she wouldn’t be graduating, might be involved with drugs and would be living a “very messed” life. She admits to a phase where she followed bad people, doing bad things. “At that stage I was just so vulnerable. But I knew deep within that I was better than that,” said Megan. “Regardless of what my mom did, I knew I could be better, all I had to do was prove it.” Megan graduated and works as a hairdresser in Vancouver.
OTTAWA — Diane Bellemare is urging the discredited Senate to find redemption by doing its constitutional duty as the parliamentary chamber that represents the regions. The Conservative senator is waging a one-woman crusade within the Senate’s government caucus to block C-377, a private member’s bill that would force labour unions to publicly disclose how they spend their money. And she’s using the scandal over senators’ expenses to make her case. The controversial bill, sponsored by Conservative MP Russ Hiebert and backed strongly by the Prime Minister’s Office, would require unions to publicly disclose any spending of $5,000 or more and any salary of more than $100,000. It’s been widely denounced as undemocratic and an invasion of privacy and it’s opposed by at least five provinces, who’ve argued that the bill is a unconstitutional intrusion into provincial jurisdiction over labour laws. If senators want to reclaim some relevance in the midst of the current crisis, Bellemare maintains they need to represent the interests of their provinces and vote against C-377. “I would like to say that, at this difficult time when the Senate is being accused on all sides of not playing its role as a chamber of sober second thought, and of not taking the interests of the people it represents seriously, I urge you to vote in line with your constitutional obligations, the official positions of your respective governments, in other words, the provincial governments and the people they represent, and all of the emails you received that have criticized this bill as being too invasive,” she implored her colleagues last week. It’s a lonely battle for Bellemare, who has found little support for her arguments in her own caucus, although Liberal senators are behind her. She had more company two years ago, when 16 Conservative senators broke ranks, joining forces with the Liberals to send the bill back to the House of Commons with amendments that effectively eviscerated the legislation. However, Parliament was prorogued before the Commons could consider the amendments and, in accordance with the rules for reinstating legislation following prorogation, the bill wound up back in the upper chamber in its original form. The unamended bill is now before the Senate for final debate, with Bellemare and the Liberals using every procedural trick available to run out the clock until the chamber adjourns for the summer, likely this week. With Parliament set to be dissolved for the fall election before the Senate can resume, failure to pass the bill before the summer break would kill it. Ditto if the bill were to be amended again by the Senate. The Commons has already adjourned for the summer and would never get the chance to consider amendments. Bellemare tried several weeks ago to have the bill ruled out of order. That failed. She then proposed an amendment to exempt all labour unions not under federal jurisdiction, which would have exempted about 90 per cent of them. That amendment was defeated last week.
Delay on torture directive suggests internal snags BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Defence Department has spent four years drafting a directive on foreign information-sharing — an ongoing delay that points to internal difficulties fleshing out a federal policy many have condemned as condoning torture. National Defence is one of five federal agencies covered by a 2010 government framework policy that allows officials to seek and share information from foreign partners, even when it may put someone at risk of brutal treatment. The Canadian Press reported last month that Defence was refusing to release the full text of a draft ministerial directive intended to spell out how the military would put the framework policy into practice. The department now says that’s because it is still working on the directive — a process that began as early as 2011. “The draft ministerial directive has not been signed off by the minister of National Defence,” said Ashley Lemire, a Defence spokeswoman. “Work on the final draft is still ongoing and will be submitted in due course.” Efforts continue even though a memo from April
2013 — disclosed though the Access to Information Act — shows the chief of the defence staff, Tom Lawson, and then-deputy minister Robert Fonberg presented the draft directive to Peter MacKay, defence minister at the time, recommending MacKay approve it. The memo includes a section entitled Public Affairs Considerations, but it is completely censored. The records, obtained by The Canadian Press through the access law, also reveal a draft of the directive was prepared for Rob Nicholson, who succeeded MacKay as minister. Lemire refused to explain the delay in approving the directive. The federal policy on foreign information-sharing has drawn pointed criticism from human rights advocates and opposition MPs who say it effectively supports torture, contrary to international law and Canada’s United Nations commitments. The four-page 2010 framework document, previously released under the access law, says when there is a “substantial risk” that sending information to — or soliciting information from — a foreign agency would result in torture, the matter should be referred to the responsible deputy minister or agency head. In deciding what to do, the agency head will con-
sider factors including the threat to Canada’s national security and the nature and imminence of the threat; the status of Canada’s relationship with — and the human rights record of — the foreign agency; and the rationale for believing that sharing the information would lead to torture. The framework applies primarily to sharing with foreign government agencies and militaries, but also with military coalitions, alliances and international organizations. As of Sunday, Lauren Armstrong, a spokeswoman for Defence Minister Jason Kenney, could not shed additional light on why it has taken four years to draft the directive. However, she said the overarching framework still applies to National Defence. The framework also covers the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the RCMP, the Canada Border Services Agency and the Communications Security Establishment, the electronic spy service. Each of these agencies has developed specific instructions for carrying out the policy. Amnesty International remains concerned the policy takes Canada in the direction of “complicity in torture, rather than firmly and absolutely rejecting torture,” said Alex Neve, secretary general of the organization’s Canadian chapter.

Big decisions for Akwesasne Mohawks OTTAWA OFFERS $240 MILLION FOR LAND BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS
Akwesasne Mohawk Chief Larry King is shown on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 in Akwesasne. There are big decisions for the Akwesasne Mohawks to make after Ottawa offers $240 million for their land. offer have not been made public, but the general plan is to give $240 million to the council in exchange for the Mohawks giving up all claim to the 8,000 hectares that are adjacent to the east side of the reserve. The band, however, could buy back about 7,000 of those hectares — if the current owners are willing to sell — and annex the territory into Akwesasne, almost doubling its size. District Chief Larry King, who was involved in the negotiations, said “Canada has made it clear that this is a final offer.” He added that the fact citizens can only purchase land in Quebec if current owners are willing to sell is “a bitter pill to swallow for our community.” Ottawa’s offer applies to the Mohawks on the Canadian side, however,
Ebola vaccine trials fight odds of success BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — New Ebola infections in Guinea and Sierra Leone are down to a trickle. That means while there may still be time to prove if experimental Ebola vaccines protect against the dreaded disease, the chances of success are becoming slimmer. The teams trying to do that critical research know the odds are stacked against most of the trials that are underway. In fact, it could be that only one — a World Health Organization-led trial in Guinea testing a Canadian-designed vaccine — stands a real chance at coming up with an answer, if the case counts in West Africa continue at the current low level. The study involves vaccinating rings of people who are contacts of known cases to see if the vaccine prevents further spread. So far more than 70 rings out of a potential of 190 have been enrolled in the trial, testing a vaccine called rVSV-ZEBOV. Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny, who leads the WHO’s efforts on development of Ebola vaccines and drugs, says if the vaccine is highly effective, the picture could come into focus relatively soon. The trial’s independent overseers, its data and safety monitoring board, will be asked to review its status in the coming weeks. “So this is why it will be very important to let the DSMB at one point during summer ... look at the data and to tell us ’Well, you have enough’ or ’Fine but keep going’ or ’You will never demonstrate anything,”’ Kieny says. If the trial proves rVSV-ZEBOV protects — or doesn’t — and the outbreak still smoulders, the Guinea group will test a second vaccine. Kieny says work is underway to select which should be the second tested, a vaccine being developed by GSK or one being produced by Johnson and Johnson. Already a U.S. Centers for Disease Control-led trial in Sierra Leone has been adapted to ensure that it will produce useful information if, as feared, it cannot generate enough evidence to show whether the vaccine it is testing is effective. The Sierra Leone trial is also testing rVSV-ZEBOV, which was designed at Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. The vaccine is being developed by pharmaceutical giant Merck and NewLink Genetics, a biotech from Ames, Iowa. “It doesn’t look very likely — although it’s not impossible — that the trials will get at the efficacy of the vaccine,” acknowledges Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC’s Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. The Sierra Leone trial to date has vaccinated more than 3,000 health-care professionals and other front-line Ebola response workers. In the event the trial can’t reach a conclusion about the efficacy of the vaccine, the research team hopes to gather information that will help the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies consider another route to license the vaccine, called the animal rule. In exceptional circumstances when the efficacy of a drug or vaccine cannot be tested in people, regulators can substitute data from animal studies, pairing it with evidence that shows
‘WE THINK IT’S TOO SOON TO BE CERTAIN OF WHETHER (PROVING EFFICACY WILL NEVER BE POSSIBLE WITH OUR DESIGN, BUT WE’RE TRYING TO GATHER... RESULTS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CONTRIBUTE TO AN ALTERNATE PATHWAY TO AN ACCELERATED LICENSURE .’ —DR ANNE SCHUCHAT DIRECTOR OF THE CDC CENTER FOR IMMUNIZATION AND RESPIRATORY DISEASES
whether the product is safe to use. The Sierra Leone team will follow some of the people in their trial to see what happens to the levels of Ebola antibodies in their blood at various intervals post-vaccination. “So we think it’s too soon to be certain of whether (proving) efficacy will never be possible with our design,” says Schuchat. “But we’re trying to gather ... results that could potentially contribute to an alternate pathway to an accelerated licensure.” A third trial testing rVSV-ZEBOV and the GSK vaccine started in Liberia early this year. Soon after Liberia’s outbreak stopped, leaving that trial — led by the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — unable to determine whether either vaccine works. Plans are being drawn up to move the trial to Guinea. But it’s now estimated that the study will need to enrol roughly 200,000 people to prove if the vaccines work, given the low rate of new infections. The trial design is a classical one: Equal numbers of people will get one of the vaccines or a salt-water injection that will serve as a placebo. “I don’t have a time frame but I’m hoping within one to two months we’d be able to start in Guinea,” says Dr. Clifford Lane, clinical director for the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Vaccinating that many people will take months, if not longer — a fact that leads some observers to question why the study is being pursued at this point. If the WHO study concludes by over the summer that rVSV-ZEBOV works, the new trial would have to be revised or abandoned. If it has been shown that one of the Ebola vaccines works, from an ethical point of view Ebola vaccines can no longer be studied against a placebo. As well, all involved in the Ebola outbreak hope transmission of the virus will be stopped long before this new study could get an answer. Lane understands that. Still, he says his group’s approach is to push ahead until such time as it is clear the research cannot be done. “If in two months there are no cases that would be a great celebration,” Lane says. “I’m being very serious. My hope is we never have to do this study. But as long as there’s cases . . . we’re going to work as hard as we can to get this launched.”
and only people who live on land in Ontario and Quebec will vote in an eventual referendum on the offer. The date of the referendum has not been set, although Mohawks on the Canadian side of the border are scheduled to vote in band elections this coming Saturday. Marjorie Skidders, co-editor of the Akwesasne newspaper Indian Time, said she is not sure the $240-million offer will be an election issue for most people because it was made so recently that residents haven’t had time to fully digest the news. Moreover, information sessions have yet to be organized and any referendum could be six months to more than a year away. The offer will most likely be accepted, though, she said.
More urgent action needed for Great Lakes protection: report BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canada and the United States are failing to mitigate the threat chemical pollution poses to the Great Lakes despite a well-intentioned water quality agreement hammered out almost three years ago, environmentalists say. To express their concern, about twodozen environmental groups on both sides of the border are sending a letter Monday to the heads of the Great Lakes executive committee, which oversees the agreement. The letter, along with a new report from the Canadian Environmental Law Association, says a binational subcommittee tasked with tackling the pollution problem has made little headway. “The (sub-committee’s) go slow approach is completely out of sync with the scale and the urgency of the problem,” the paper concludes. “We cannot wait decades to stop
these chemicals getting into the lakes and then having to launch massive cleanup efforts — if that is even possible.” The panel, which is scheduled to meet this week in Chicago, was set up in 2012, when Canada and the U.S. renewed an agreement aimed at protecting and improving the lakes’ water quality and the basin’s ecosystem. The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement leaves it to the subcommittee to come up with so-called chemicals of mutual concern. To date, it has identified only four toxins for listing. However, environmental organizations have a list of more than 500 such chemicals. “By adding four chemicals every three years...it will take us more than a century to list all of the chemicals of concern in the Great Lakes,” they state. “However, listing is just the first step: Each listed chemical will need an action plan for virtual elimination of discharges to the lake.”

AKWESASNE, Que. — On the Mohawk reserve of Akwesasne, land — at first glance — seems plenty. About 23,000 people live on roughly 10,000 hectares of lush green fields flanked by islands and rivers that make up the territory about 150 kilometres west of Montreal. But ask around and it becomes immediately clear that while much of the land looks empty — save for the snapping turtles lazing on the roads — almost every inch on the reserve is spoken for. Some younger members of the community are forced to buy houses and rent apartments outside the territory because they can’t build a home in Akwesasne, which straddles three jurisdictions: Quebec, Ontario and New York State. That’s why Ottawa’s recent offer, which gives the Mohawks an opportunity to buy sparsely populated farmland that would almost double the size of the reserve, is so tempting. But in order for that purchase to proceed, the Mohawks must renounce their claim to a separate 8,000-hectare parcel of land in the most westerly portion of Quebec, known in the province as Dundee but recognized by natives as Tsikaristisere. Ottawa has given the Mohawks 240 million reasons to accept its offer. Opinions on the reserve are mixed. “I would vote yes — I think everyone should get a cheque,” said Kim Johnson, 45, who works part-time at the T-N-T Deli on the Quebec side of the Akwesasne territory. Loran Lazore, 42, who does odd construction-related jobs on the reserve, said he doesn’t want to give up claim over the land. “I favour the land over the money,” he said. “Even if they put another zero (in the offer).” Many details of the government’s
“I’m not hearing people being upset and any rumblings,” added Skidders, 58. “There is no amount of money that will make us say: ’Yes, this is restitution for what has happened or what has been done in the past,”’ she said. “But it’s 2015 and we’re moving ahead.” King also said he doesn’t think the offer will be an issue in the elections. “I have not heard or seen if candidates are referring to the Dundee Settlement Offer in their campaign or platform.” he said. The Mohawk council says Tsikaristisere was never surrendered. While a document was reportedly signed, the Mohawks maintain they intended to gradually reclaim the land rather than permanently hand it over to the federal government. Judie Cole, 76, said she fears by the time the money is transferred to the band council, she won’t be around to enjoy it. “We’re in dire need of senior housing,” she said, sitting with friends after an afternoon bingo game on the reserve. “When there is a grant, the government always gives homes to single people with children. “I’m 76, by the time things get settled I’ll probably be dead.” Cole’s friend, Phyllis Point, said, “Us seniors want a piece of the pie. We never get anything.” One possible source of tension may arise from people having to come to terms with the fact a monetary value has to be put on the Dundee land, even though many people don’t see their territory in that way. Skidders said a non-native remarked recently how valuable her St. Lawrence riverfront property would be. “I just don’t think any of our family ever sees it that way,” she said. “I was thinking about her comment all night after she told me that. We just don’t think of it like that.”

Canada slips past Swiss ADVANCES TO WOMEN’S WORLD CUP TO QUARTER-FINALS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada 1 Switzerland 0 VANCOUVER — Canada is on the move at the Women’s World Cup, headed to the quarter-finals thanks to a 1-0 win over Switzerland and some canny planning from coach John Herdman. And the Canadian women rose to the occasion Sunday after an uneven group stage, taking it to the 19th-ranked Swiss in the second half before 53,855 at B.C. Place — a record for a Canadian national team home game. Herdman, a master manipulator, pulled all the right strings Sunday. The winning goal came in the 52nd minute from Josee Belanger, a forward Herdman had convinced to rejoin the national program. And it came from a cross delivered by fullback Rhian Wilkinson, restored to the starting lineup by Herdman after a hamstring injury. Belanger had served as a make-shift fullback in place of the injured Wilkinson and Marie-Eve Nault in the first three games of the tournament. Captain Christine Sinclair served as a key link-up for the goal, fighting through traffic to get a foot to Wilkinson’s cross and poke it over to Belanger, who thumped a left-footed shot past Swiss ’keeper Gaelle Thalmann. It was the turning point of the game, capping an explosive Canadian start to the second half. The first

Canada coach John Herdman, right, celebrates as Josee Belanger, back, is mobbed by her teammates after scoring against Switzerland during the second half of the FIFA Women’s World Cup round of 16 soccer action in Vancouver, B.C., on Sunday. 45 minutes were fairly even but the Swiss had started to make inroads into the Canadian defence, with the elusive Ramona Bachmann probing the backline. Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod said Herdman reminded the players at halftime that there was no going back. “He just put it pretty simply. He just said ’We can’t have any regrets ... This second half we’re going for it.’ And everybody did,” she said. Canada came at the Swiss in waves to open the second half. And the young European team seemed to wither under the pressure, although it came back in the final minutes in search of the tying goal. McLeod, as she has done all tournament, made a key save in the 77th minute to deny Vanessa Bernauer from in close. She has kept three clean sheets
in four games, conceding just one goal. “I’m really proud of the way the team performed,” said McLeod. “I think in the second half especially we played like the Canada I know and that we’re going to show a lot of more at this tournament.” Next up for eighth-ranked Canada is either No. 6 England or No. 11 Norway in Saturday’s quarterfinal at B.C. Place. The two European teams face off Monday in Ottawa. Canada will go into the game having finally dispatched a European team at the tournament. Its record against European opposition at the World Cup prior to Sunday was 0-9-1.

Spieth wins second major in stunning fashion BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — Another major for Jordan Spieth. Another stunning loss for Dustin Johnson. Chambers Bay delivered heart-stopping drama Sunday in the U.S. Open when Spieth birdied his final hole to become only the sixth player to win the Masters and the U.S. Open in the same year. The real surprise was not that he won, but how he won. Johnson had a 12-foot eagle putt for the victory. Two putts would force an 18-hole playoff Monday. Less than a minute later, Spieth was shocked to be the youngest U.S. Open champion since 1923. Johnson’s eagle putt ran by the cup and stopped just over three feet away. With his future father-in-law Wayne Gretzky watching, Johnson’s short birdie putt rolled by the left edge. “I’m still amazed that I won, let alone that we weren’t playing tomorrow,” Spieth said. “So for that turnaround right there, to watch that happen, I feel for Dustin, but I haven’t been able to put anything in perspective yet.” Lost in Johnson’s blunder was the clutch play of the Masters champion. Having lost control of the tournament with a double bogey on the 17th hole, Spieth drilled his tee shot and hit a 3-wood that caught the back bank and rolled below the cup. His eagle putt was wide left, giving him a 1-under 69. He walked off the green at 5-under 275 and worried about golf’s biggest hitter playing the par-5 behind. “I didn’t think it was good enough,”
Spieth said. “But man, I couldn’t be more happy right now.” Spieth becomes the first player since Bobby Jones to make birdie on the 72nd hole to win the U.S. Open by one shot, all because of Johnson’s three-putt. The 21-year-old Texan heads to St. Andrews next month in pursuit of golf’s holy grail — the Grand Slam. Ottawa’s Brad Fristch finished in a tie for 46th at 2 over par after shooting a 72 on the final day. Tiger Woods in 2002 was the last player to get the first two legs of the slam. In 1960, Arnold Palmer went to St. Andrews for a chance at three in a row. For all the criticism of the unique course at Chambers Bay, this was the theatre at its finest. But there will be lingering questions about the condition of the greens, so bumpy that they were referred to as broccoli and Billy Horschel said he lost respect for the USGA. This championship ended with a short miss, the target of complaints all week. The final hour was so wild that four players could have won over the last two holes. Tied for the lead with Branden Grace of South Africa, Spieth looked like he wrapped this up with a 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole. He turned toward Puget Sound, pumped his fist and yelled, “YEAH!” That gave him a three-shot lead because Grace hit his tee shot onto the railroad tracks out-of-bounds and made double bogey. And then his lead was gone.

CFL teams make final cuts before season gets underway BY THE CANADIAN PRESS For the second time in just over three months, Eric Taylor finds himself looking for a job. The veteran defensive tackle was among the Calgary Stampeders final cuts Saturday as CFL teams reduced their rosters to 46 players to begin the 2015 season. Taylor, 33, signed with the defending Grey Cup champions in March after being released by the B.C. Lions. CFL teams had until 10 p.m. ET to finalize their rosters. Taylor wasn’t the only veteran let go by the Stampeders. Also released defensive lineman DeMonte Bolden and defensive back Lin-J Shell, who both were members of last year’s Grey Cupwinning squad. “It was a difficult day,” Calgary head coach/GM John Hufnagel told reporters Saturday. “We had a lot of good football players in the room and right now we don’t have as many good football players in the room. “That’s just the nature of the business we’re in. It was a very competitive training camp, I was very pleased the way everyone competed but you can only keep so many people.”
Hufnagel said releasing players like Bolden and Shell who helped Calgary win last year’s Grey Cup was especially tough. “They’re good football players,” he said. “They know they’re good football players and I would expect them to be playing football before the year is over, maybe even (in) red and white. “It’s just decisions I had to make as of (Saturday).” Running back Brandon Whitaker, defensive back Geoff Tisdale and defensive tackle Khalif Mitchell, all former CFL starters, were let go by the Montreal Alouettes. Taylor was a seventh-round pick of the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers in 2004 out of Memphis. He also spent time
with Minnesota, Seattle and Tennessee before coming north to sign with the Edmonton Eskimos in ’08. Taylor was dealt to Toronto in February 2010 and played one season for the Argos before signing with B.C. as a free agent. Over four seasons with the Lions, he amassed 107 tackles and 13 sacks in 57 regular-season games and earned a Grey Cup ring. The six-foot-five, 290-pound Bolden came back from a broken leg to play in Calgary’s 20-16 Grey Cup victory over Hamilton last November at B.C. Place Stadium. Bolden, 29, began his CFL career in 2009 with Hamilton before joining the Stampeders in 2011. Calgary’s decision obviously caught Bolden by surprise. “Speechless,” was all he said on his official Twitter account afterwards. Last season was Shell’s first in Calgary and the 33-year-old recorded 24 tackles and two sacks. The five-foot-11, 180-pound defensive back began his CFL career in Toronto in 2009 and also played for B.C. (2012-’13) before joining the Stampeders and has amassed 304 tackles, 10 sacks and eight interceptions over his tenure in Canada. Calgary opens the regular season Friday night hosting Hamilton in a Grey Cup rematch.

Mitchell, 30, signed a three-year deal with Montreal in the off-season but got himself into hot water with posts on Twitter regarding the Holocaust. That resulted in fines from both the CFL and Alouettes. Mitchell had two tackles, a sack and forced fumble in two exhibition games with Montreal. Over five seasons with B.C. and Toronto, Mitchell registered 95 tackles and 14 sacks and also won a Grey Cup in 2011 with the Lions. Whitaker, 29, spent seven seasons with Montreal and was a CFL all-star in 2011 when he ran for a league-best 1,381 yards. The former Baylor Bear was also a member of two Grey Cupwinning teams. Tisdale, 29, is also a seven-year veteran, having played for Hamilton (2008-’10, 2012) and Calgary (2011) before joining Montreal in 2013. Tidsale finished tied for third in the CFL last season with five interceptions. The Saskatchewan Roughriders released 26 players, including offensive lineman Gord Hinse and defensive back Paul Waldu, both CFL veterans. The six-foot-four, 305-pound Hinse, a 27-year-old Edmonton native, was in his first season with Saskatchewan but seventh in the CFL after playing previously with the Eskimos and Winnipeg.

Scott Copeland allowed six singles and a solo home run to Jimmy Parades as the Orioles (36-33) opened a 7-0 lead in the second inning.

Henderson wins in South Bend for first Symetra Tour title BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GOLF
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Canadian teen Brooke Henderson won the Four Winds Invitational on Sunday to become the third-youngest winner in Symetra Tour history. The 17-year-old native of Smiths Falls, Ont., closed with a 3-under 69 for a two-stroke victory, finishing at 10-under 206 at Blackthorn. “It’s amazing to win and I’m so thankful that I got the sponsor’s exemption this week,” Henderson said. “I’m very grateful for the win here and I think it will be a big confidence booster moving forward.” After the victory, LPGA Tour Commissioner Mike Whan accepted Henderson’s waiver petition for Symetra Tour membership before the age of 18. Last year, Whan denied Henderson’s LPGA Tour age petition, preventing her from playing Q-school. She will be 18 on Sept. 10. Henderson earned $22,500 for the victory, though that money and her previous earnings as a non-member will not count on the money list. Henderson tied for fifth last week in the Women’s PGA Championship, the second of the LPGA Tour’s five majors.
“I’ve been busy, but I wouldn’t change it for the world, it has been a lot of fun,” Henderson said. “People often ask me how busy it is and why I don’t take a week off, but I love being out here and I think every week I am learning a bit more about myself and my game and I think it is helping me be better.” Second-round leader Dottie Ardina of the Philippines was second. She birdied the final hole for a 74. Henderson made three straight birdies on Nos. 11-13, parred the next four holes and bogeyed the last. She opened with rounds of 72 and 65. “I was 1 under on the front nine and I knew I was near the lead, but I was kicking myself because I knew I needed to get it going,” Henderson. “Holes 11 and 12 were huge turning points, where Dottie and I kind of switched positions, and then I was able to keep it from there.” American Selanee Henderson, Jessica Wallace of Langley, B.C., and Italy’s Giulia Molinaro tied for third at 7 under. Selanee Henderson had a 65, and Wallace and Molinaro shot 70.

CUP: Proud “Proud of my girls,” said Herdman. “Proud of what we’ve been able to achieve. We’ve got more tough opposition coming.” The Canadian women showed their grit en route to the win. Teenage defender Kadeisha Buchanan played with a strained abdomen while midfielder Sophie Schmidt, who suffered a bruised hip in the last group outing against the Netherlands, had a pain-killing injection before the game. Herdman said Buchanan, who hadn’t trained for three days, almost didn’t start. “She had a few tears before going out because she’s hurt. But she played out there like a warrior today.” Belanger was out of the national team picture from early 2011 to late 2013, missing out on the 2011 World Cup and 2012 Olympics. A longterm ankle injury disrupted her career and, disillusioned with her experience with a previous national team regime, she was thinking of moving on and starting a family. So Herdman, in need of pace and goals, went looking for Belanger. “We tried everything. She was, I think, ready to settle down and we talked her back into the program,” he said. It was more difficult that it sounds. Herdman, who comes from just outside Newcastle in northern England, first called Belanger’s house and got her French-speaking mother. Then he flew to Quebec to speak at a coaching conference and, knowing Belanger was in the audience, called her out. “Look your country needs you,” he said.

mounds right of the 17th and made double bogey. Louis Oosthuizen made one last birdie — his sixth over the last seven holes — for a 67 to post at 4-under 276. Johnson, who had a two-shot lead at the turn until missing so many putts on the back nine, was forgotten until he stuffed his tee shot on the par-3 17th to 4 feet for birdie. Spieth, a wire-to-wire winner at Augusta National, showed he can be clutch with his 3-wood into the 18th. And then came Johnson in the final group, blasting his tee shot so far that he only needed a 5-iron, and he put that to 12 feet. Make it and win. Two putts and he still gets a playoff. He made par. Johnson said he might have hit it even farther past the hole if he had not seen the speed of Jason Day’s putt. “I did everything I was supposed to do,” he said. “I hit the ball really well. I’m proud of the way I handled myself and the way I played today. I just really struggled getting it in the hole today. I didn’t think I was hitting bad putts. I thought I was hitting them pretty good they just weren’t going in.” It was the fourth heartache for Johnson in the majors, and this was the worst. He didn’t shoot 82 in the final round like he did at Pebble Beach in the 2010 U.S. Open. He didn’t ground his club in a bunker that cost him a spot in the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straights. He didn’t hit a shot out-of-bounds like he did in the 2011 British Open. Twelve feet from a win. Three putts and he lost. “Just missed it left,” Johnson said. Jason Day, who collapsed on Friday with vertigo only to rally for a share of the 54-hole lead, fell back with missed putt and was never in the hunt on the back nine. He closed with a 74 to finish five shots behind. Grace never recovered from that double bogey on No. 16 and shot 71 to tie for fourth with Adam Scott (64) and Cameron Smith (68).
three-run shot to get Toronto on the board. Kevin Pillar followed up with a solo shot to pull the Jays to within three. After Ryan Goins singled, Jose Reyes reached with a double, ending Tillman’s afternoon. Jose Bautista doubled off reliever Tommy Hunter, scoring a pair. Tillman, who entered the contest with a 0-3 record and a 12.51 ERA against Toronto this season, allowed six earned runs on six hits. Toronto completed the comeback in the third as Russell Martin scored on an RBI single from Pillar, tying the
game 7-7. Bautista gave the Jays their first lead of the game with a two-run home run in the fourth. The Orioles battled back to tie it 9-9 thanks to a solo shot from Davis in the fifth and an RBI single from Hardy in the seventh. Notes: Following the game the Blue Jays optioned Copeland, LHP Phil Coke and RHP Ryan Tepera to tripleA Buffalo with a corresponding move to come. b& RHP Drew Hutchison (61) gets the ball on Monday when the Blue Jays open a three-game series in Tampa Bay.
Scherzer celebrates ‘dominating’ no-hitter

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — A day later, Max Scherzer couldn’t stop smiling. “I’m doing great,” the Nationals right-hander said the morning after he threw a no-hitter and came within a strike of a perfect game before hitting Pittsburgh’s Jose Tabata in Washington’s 6-0 victory. “I didn’t get much sleep, but that’s for a good reason, just on a high from the game.” Scherzer came within one strike of throwing the 22nd perfect game in major league history since 1900. In his past two starts, Scherzer has retired 54 of 57 batters with a combined 26 strikeouts. He is 8-5 with a 1.76 ERA for the season. Scherzer’s parents were on hand at Nationals Park on Saturday to see his accomplishment. Brad and Jan Scherzer decided to visit this weekend from Missouri instead of next month. “It was great to be able to share last night with them as well,” Scherzer said. “That’s what my dad wanted (for Father’s Day). He doesn’t want a tie. I gave him a no-hitter, so he’s pretty happy.” Scherzer said he received about 120 texts after his brilliant performance, but the ones that meant the most were from opposing players. “It’s a sign of respect,” said Scherzer, with the ball he threw for the final

out resting behind him in his locker. “I really do appreciate the support.” Clint Hurdle had offered Scherzer his lineup cards. But instead, the pitcher signed them for the Pirates manager, who plans to auction them off for charity. Nationals centre fielder Denard Span was still marveling at Scherzer. Span faced Scherzer when they were both in the American League. He said that in 2012, his Minnesota Twins preferred facing Tigers ace Justin Verlander instead of Scherzer. “He was like a sleeper,” Span said. “You overlooked him because of Verlander. Every time he would pitch against us, he would throw seven innings and (allow only) two runs.” But Span said that Scherzer is even better three years later. “I haven’t seen anything like that, not that dominating,” said Span, who has seen four major league no-hitters during his eight seasons. “He very well could have had two (straight) no-hitters. He’s nasty. He’s perfected his craft. He knows what he wants to do. He’s our horse. I’ve never seen any other pitcher work (as hard) as he does. “He’s working with a purpose. That’s why he’s so confident. That’s why when he strikes out guys, he has his little, I call it old Western, walk with his elbows up in the air. He just has that bulldog mentality. It’s hilarious when he gets in the zone and starts circling the mound.”

Orioles 13 Blue Jays 9 Toronto Blue Jays closer Brett Cecil could have gotten out of Sunday’s ninth inning unscathed. After back-to-back one-out walks in a 9-9 game, shortstop Jose Reyes misplayed what could have been an inning-ending double play ball on a J.J. Hardy single. Instead, Chris Davis score the go-ahead run from second base and the Baltimore Orioles rallied for a 13-9 victory over Toronto. “I got a little bit confused, that’s no excuse,” said Reyes. “That should be into the double play there and Cecil would be out of the inning. I saw Kawa (Munenori Kawasaki) was right there. b& I had to continue to charge the ball and try to make a play, especially in that situation there.” The Toronto Blue Jays erased an early 7-0 deficit and took a 9-7 lead in the fourth, but it all unravelled in the ninth. Ryan Flaherty followed up Hardy’s single with a two-run triple, and later scored. “The walks like today, he hasn’t been really sharp, hasn’t been able to locate his fastball,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Cecil. “Baseball gods are going to punish you for (the walks). Always have, always will.” Cecil (1-4) picked up the loss as the Blue Jays (37-34) wrapped up a fivegame home stand with a 3-2 record. “I’m battling out there right now,” the left-hander said. “(I’m) trying to throw with a different hand position, thought I might be tipping some pitches so we’ll have to go back and see if I’m still doing it. It was just a little thing and I thought I had fixed it. I don’t know if hitters are getting it or not.” Reliever Darren O’Day (4-0) retired two hitters in the eighth for the win. “It’s a day game and the ball is flying and you’re going to have a lot of runs scored,” said Orioles manager Buck Showalter. “You just want to have a chance at the end. We had a lot of guys come

Respect at top of list for local fighters BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Respect between two fighters in a mixed martial arts cage match is an ill-suited characteristic. They’re in the octagon to dominate the other, after all. Punch or be punched. But for those in the ring, that respect factor is an absolute must. For two Red Deer fighters, it was at an absolute high on Friday night at Havoc Fighting Championship 9 at the Westerner Prairie Pavilion. Promotion co-owner Jesse Fox (4-6-0) and his opponent Brent Harvie (3-1-0) were both making their returns to competition after long layoffs following devastating losses. The younger Harvie won the 145-pound fight at 2:15 of the second round with a triangle-choke submission, but there was no gloating afterwards, just an extended mutual celebration in the ring. In their minds, both won just for getting back in the ring. “I didn’t want any regrets,� said Fox. “I thought about packing it in, but my thought was I wanted to do it one or two more times so I couldn’t say at 50 years old, ‘I should have done that one more time.’� Fox, 32, was making his first appearance in a fight since getting knocked out 35 seconds into a Nov. 11, 2011 fight against Allan Munroe. The concussion he suffered afterwards just about shelved his career for good. As he stepped back into the octagon he was grinning ear to ear and was more jittery than calm, the nervous energy almost taking over. He couldn’t imagine fighting anyone other than Harvie, a long time friend of his in the close-knit MMA world. “We were hanging out until a couple of days before the fight, but it’s all good he’s a warrior and I’m happy for him,� said Fox. “It was exciting, he was in the same boat as me, he maybe didn’t want to fight again. So it was kind of perfect for both of us, we were both out of shape and hadn’t fought in a while and we just decided to do it.� Harvie, 28, was much more calm and focused, but it Fox got the early advantage with a punch to the solar plexus that knocked the wind out of him. But Fox was unable to capitalize. Both fighters made it through the closely contested first round. In the second round, Harvie took the early advantage and took Fox’s back. Fox managed to slip out of the hold but was careless in doing so as Harvie snagged his arm and locked in the triangle-choke. Fox had no choice but to tap.
HAVOC FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP 9 ‘I WANT TO GET TO THE UFC AND I WANT TO BASH A FEW GUYS. IF YOU’RE GOING TO DO THIS SPORT YOU CAN DO ONE OF TWO THINGS, TAKE A FEW FIGHTS AND HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT AND TAKE A WALK. BUT IN MY MIND THERE’S NO HALFASSING IT IN THIS GAME. IF YOU’RE GOING TO GO FOR IT, YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR IT.’ — BRENT HARVIE RED DEER MMA FIGHTER
Harvie was completely relaxed and at home in the ring. “I actually didn’t hear the crowd at all this time, maybe I did in my subconsciousness, but I was just doing what I was doing in sparring,� he said. Harvie hadn’t fought since a second round TKO to Jesse Arnett on June 7, 2013 at Havoc 2. He suffered a concussion in the fight and though he recovered, his girlfriend at the time talked him out of returning to action. The girlfriend is no longer in the picture and he jumped at the opportunity to be part of this fight with Fox. He hopes this is just the beginning. “I’m going to start fighting now like crazy, I want to get one in a month,� said Harvie, who fights out of Kensei Martial Arts in Red Deer. “I want to get to the UFC and I want to bash a few guys. If you’re going to do this sport you can do one of two things, take a few fights and have some fun with it and take a walk. But in my mind there’s no half-assing it in this game. If you’re going to go for it, you’ve got to go for it.� The fight of the night was the second last bout on the card as Red Deer’s Wolfgang Janssen (5-1) went up a weight division to fight a much more experienced and much bigger Curtis Demarce (14-13) of Brandon, Man., at 155 pounds. Janssen, 23, won the hard-contested fight by unanimous decision, though his face looked like it had met a meat tenderizer by the end of it. “It was a very important win, it was a very important fight,� he said. “I knew that there was a very good possibility that it was going to go the distance so I worked hard and I always put my self in the best possible position to win.� Janssen is hoping this fight shows what he is capable of in the ring and will set him up for a bigger fight down the line. “I want to get another big fight in the next three
months again ... and just keep pounding away,� he said. “I want to fight in the UFC and I want to fight the best guys, so I’m going to work my way up there.� The night was anti-climatic, however, as the main event between Calgary’s Noah Ali (6-2) and Detroit’s David “Bo� Harris (7-8-1) was unable to match the same intensity. Ali won by unanimous decision in a very cautious fight as Harris sat back waiting for opportunities to through power punches that rarely came due to Ali’s overly-cautious approach. “The crowd was really into it and then that final fight was really slow,� said Ryan Machan, who owns Havoc FC with Fox. “Marty Ecklund really set a tempo, then it slowed down and picked up with the girls. It was sad the main event wasn’t as wild as the first pro fight but I think the crowd was really happy with it.� Marty Ecklund of Blackfalds beat Wetaskiwin’s Ty Collier (1-1-0) at 170 pounds with a third round TKO in the second best fight of the night to kick off the pro card. The two fighters traded power punches standing up and both had their opportunities to ground and pound. Ecklund eventually overwhelmed Collier at 1:07 of the third round and the ref stepped in. In other action, Chaleur Jones (2-1-0) of Calgary beat Coralie Dixon (0-1-0) of Edmonton by unanimous decision at 125 pound; and Clay Dixon (1-0-0) of Edmonton beat Kyle Coleman (0-1-0) of Calgary by unanimous decision. On the amateur card, Anaolii Chmut of Red Deer knocked out Edmonton’s Travis Christensen at 185 pounds; Peko Sanaikhom of Edmonton submitted Terrence Ahlstom of Edmonton at 2:19 of the first round in a 155-pound bout; and Ryan Williams of Lethbridge got a first round submission at 1:35 if Daryll Gonzales at 135 pounds.

De Grasse, Theisen- Canada’s Lemieux has four knockdowns, Eaton lead Canada defeats N’Dam to win IBF middleweight title into Pan Am Games BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Rising star sprinter Andre De Grasse is one of 89 track and field athletes that will represent Canada at the 2015 Toronto Pan American Games. The 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., will run in the 100 metres and the 200 metres next month. De Grasse is having a breakout season. He broke the Canadian record in the 200, and became the first Canadian since Bruny Surin in 1999 to dip under the 10-second mark in the 100. He then blew away the field in at the NCAA championships in Eugene, Ore., in both the 100 and 200 metres. While his times of 9.75 and 19.58 were both wind-aided, being slightly over the allowable 2.0 metres-per-second tailwind, they rank as the fastest wind-aided times in the world this year. Eight athletes have set Canadian records in 2015 and are all being nominated to the Pan American Games team. Toronto’s Shawnacy Barber has set both indoor and outdoor Canadian records in the men’s pole vault this season en route to winning his third NCAA title Other recent Canadian record breakers nominated Sunday are: Vancouver’s Elizabeth Gleadle (javelin); Cameron Levins of Black Creek, B.C. (10,000 metres); Christabel Nettey of Surrey, B.C. (long jump); Rachel Seaman of Peterborough, Ont. (20-km race walk); Brianne Theisen-Eaton of Humboldt, Sask. (heptathlon); and Vancouver’s Natasha Wodak (10,000). The team includes three Pan Am medallists: Sultana Frizell, Perth, Ont., (2011, hammer throw, silver); Jessica Zelinka, London, Ont., (2007, heptathlon, gold); and Jim Steacy, Lethbridge, (2007, hammer throw, gold). Other medal threats include high jumper Derek Drouin of Corunna, Ont., who won the bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics and the 2013 world championships, and decathlete Damian Warner of London, a bronze medallist at the 2013 worlds. The Canadian athletics team won four medals at the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Athletics competition at the Pan Am Games begins July 18 with the women’s marathon and continues through July 26.
MONTREAL — David Lemieux of Montreal knocked down Frenchman Hassan N’Dam four times and won the vacant International Boxing Federation middleweight title with a unanimous decision early Sunday morning. Lemieux (34-2) dominated the bout, flooring N’Dam (31-2) once in the second round, twice in the fifth and again with a left hook in the seventh to win the title. But each time he was knocked down, N’Dam got back up and dished out punishment of his own to Lemieux, who said later that his 31-year-old opponent didn’t hurt him but certainly earned his respect. “Not only did he get up, but he got up smiling,� said Lemieux. “I was surprised. “He’s a solid boxer, the real deal. He wanted to be champion but I wanted it more.�
Two ringside judges scored it 115-109 and the other 114-110, all for 26-year-old Lemieux. Lemieux joined WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson as Canadians holding world boxing titles. After the bout, Lemieux’s promoter Oscar de la Hoya said N’Dam “deserves another opportunity to fight a world champion.� “David Lemieux is a great boxer,� said N’Dam. “After he hit me in the second round I had to finish the fight at only 60 per cent of my capacities. He was better than me tonight, but I think that other than the ones when I was knocked down, I won the rounds.� Lemieux’s impressive performance in a fight broadcast in the U.S. on the Fox network may earn him some high profile bouts. There is already talk of a clash with WBA champion Gennady Golovkin, or a bout with the winner of a proposed match in November between WBC champ Miguel Cotto and Mexican star Saul (Canelo) Alvarez.

SPEILBERG, Austria — Nico Rosberg showed his championship potential by overtaking pole sitter Lewis Hamilton on the first turn and went on to win the Austrian Grand Prix in style on Sunday. The German driver, runner-up to his Mercedes teammate in last year’s Formula One championship, took an aggressive inside line to shoot past Hamilton heading into the first turn in an eventful race featuring a heavy crash between Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso and several more retirements. Rosberg’s third win this season took his career tally to 11, and cut Hamilton’s overall lead to 10 points. “The start made the race. It was a great start and I managed to defend in the first couple of corners,� Rosberg said. “I was really happy with the car and to see the gap open up to Lewis.� Felipe Massa finished third for Williams, matching his finish from last year. In the fight for the last podium spot, Massa held off Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari by just 0.6 seconds. On another terrible day for McLaren, Jenson Button retired to join Alonso in the garage. Rosberg likes the Red Bull Ring, where he won from third on the grid last year. This time he did it starting from second. “Yeaahhh!� a jubilant Rosberg shouted on his radio after crossing the line.

Renegades get good results from weekend BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Renegades 4 Cougars 1 Renegades 1 Angels 1 The Red Deer Renegades are hoping this weekend will serve as a turning point for the organization, at least for this season. The Alberta Women’s Major Soccer League team has almost always been among the bottom of the standings. This year they were on pace to do the same with just one draw in five games heading into Saturday against the Edmonton Angels. But suddenly everything started to click for the Renegades. They tied the Angels, taking a point off them for the first time in five years, and then crushed the Calgary Cougars FC 4-1 on Sunday while playing with a short bench. It is the first time head coach Paul Morigeau can remember the Renegades getting at least four points out of a weekend. “That feeling of not wanting to be beat and wanting to win, I could sense that now for the first time this weekend,” he said. Michelle Jang scored once for Red Deer in each game while Katrina Szumlas led the way on Sunday with two goals with Kayla Blacquiere getting the other. The only downside to the weekend is that it was very nearly two wins for the Renegades. Leading 1-0 with about seven minutes to go on Saturday, the Renegades centre back came back hard to get a loose ball, however it caused a miscommunication with goalie Annie Ulliac and it deflected off her and into the net for an own goal. “That same player probably stopped two or three goals, there’s nothing you can do, she was just working hard, trying to help,” said Morigeau. In the past the outcome could very likely have sent the Renegades into a
downward spiral, instead they bounced back with their best effort of the year on Sunday while playing with only one sub who wound up getting hurt. “It was almost like they were a dog off the leash,” said Morigeau. “If the team was a dog, thy would have had their ears up and their tail up and just on the hunt all game long. “It was very good for our belief. Belief is important for our group, a very young team with different faces from different places. I see all the talent they have and their abilities, but today they believed it.” Morigeau adds it has been at least a couple of years since the Renegades had an offensive explosion like they had against the Cougars. In the previous six games, they had scored two goals total. Key to that was the play of Szumlas, an 18-year-old midfielder in her second season with the club. However, Morigeau was not even sure if he was going to have her available to play on Sunday after getting sucker punched and knocked out on Saturday. “I really didn’t think she was going to play, I was considering telling her not to because she was quite woozy at the end of the game,” said Morigeau, adding that she was cleared by doctors to play. Szumlas said there was no way she was going to miss Sunday. “(Sitting out) wasn’t a thought, I wanted to play, I love playing,” said Szumlas, who is headed to University of Lethbridge next year with Blacquiere. “I was just hoping to have a good game. “It hasn’t happened in a long time, it feels good to win ... Things are definitely shifting and going in a better direction.” Key to the big weekend was they finally had a full week of practice with the whole team out. With players from Edmonton and Calgary as well as Central Alberta making up the roster, it has been a challenge for them to de-

much. This weekend we took two big strides (Saturday) and one today.” The Renegades are off next week, but host Edmonton Northwest United on July 4 at Edgar Athletic Park. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com
Red Deer Tennis Club cleans up at host provincials BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF The Red Deer Tennis Club is proving you don’t have to be big to produce top players. The club came away with its fair share of medals as it hosted the Junior Champs and Challenger Provincials on the weekend. It all speaks to the growth of tennis in the city. “It’s amazing, we have more and more kids. The last time we had our Saturday program we had like 32 kids between four and eight years old sign up for lessons, it’s absolutely unbelievable,” said Red Deer head pro Rene Simon. “(Seeing them develop) is the most fun of everything, it’s why we do that. It’s nice to see kids go from nothing to really good.” Tereza Simonova led the way with silver in U16 and U18 girls, Oscar Yang earned silver in U18 boys and bronze in U16 while tying for third in doubles, Charvher Dael earned gold in U18 boys doubles and was fourth in U18 boys, Mantoush Polakovic earned gold in U14 boys while Michael Robinson finished fourth while also earning silver in U14 boys doubles. This means Simonova, Yang, Dael, Polakovic and Robinson will all be headed to nationals in August. Three of them will also be apart of eight-member Team Alberta for the Western Canada Games in Wood Buffalo — Simonova, Yang and Robinson. “I’m real excited, as soon as I heard about it I wanted to get picked,” said Yang, 14. “I know it happens every four years, so I’m just real happy that I am

It is to the point where young tennis players are starting to come to Red Deer to play instead of staying home in Calgary and Edmonton. Yang is one of those players, coming down from Edmonton. “The coaches give us a lot of support
Rampage lose first three games of season in same weekend BY ADVOCATE STAFF
LACROSSE
The Red Deer TBS Rampage (9-3-1) are undefeated no more. In fact, they didn’t just lose one Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League junior B tier I game, they lost all three of their contests in Winnipeg against the Manitoba Blizzard (10-4-0). In order to get in all three games plus the 16-hour bus ride each way, the two teams played twice on Saturday and once on Sunday. The Blizzard won the first game 11-4 with Ben Andrist, Ryan Beatson, Dawson Reykdal and Levi Whitney scoring for Red Deer and Darrin Banack taking the loss in net. The Rampage lost the second game 14-3 as Whitney, Reykdal and Andrist accounted for the scoring once again. This time Brendan Machan was in net. With a night’s rest the Rampage almost won Sunday’s contest, falling 1211 in overtime, but ran out of gas after taking a 7-4 lead in the third period. Beatson led Red Deer with three goals
while Andrist and Reykdal both scored twice. Mat Giele, Nate Bellanger, Jordan Waddell and Logan Elliot added one goal each while Banack was in net. The Rampage are in Sherwood Park on Friday to play the Titans at 8:30 p.m. then host the Edmonton Warriors on Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Kinex Arena. ● The Red Deer Renegades (4-8-1) dropped both of their junior B tier II road games this weekend, falling 10-6 to the Medicine Hat Sun Devils (11-1-0) on Saturday and 17-1 to the Lethbridge Cudas (10-1-0) on Sunday. Tyler Schumacher led Red Deer with two goals on Saturday while Kane Weik, Aiden Wilson, Travis Mears and Kole Weik all scored once. On Sunday, Carson Stuve had the lone goal for Red Deer. ● The Lacoka Locos (1-11-0-1) dropped their only game of the weekend, 13-9 to the Calgary Axemen (10-20-0).
and a lot of training, they work us hard and let us become better in tennis,” he said. Just to play in this provincial championship, players had to be ranked in the top eight in the province. Getting through to the medal round was a grind with most players in that position playing upwards of 10 matches over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday tournament. Some, like Simonova, just ran out of
gas on Sunday. “She was really, really tired, she had blisters all over her feet and struggled with her shoulder, but we tried not to show it,” said Simon, her coach and father, noting she lost to arch rival Ashleigh Jacobs in both finals. But the national championships do beckon. They are an opportunity to really jump in the Canadian junior standings while it is also a chance for the club to poke its head out on a national level. “I’m just trying to work hard every day on my consistency and power because most of them are very good, I’ll be practicing every day, five hours a day,” said Dael, who drives up from Innisfail to train in Red Deer. “I just want to play good and try my best and not intimidate others but try and be confident.” Most of the players heading there have been before, but without seeing much of the rest of the country during the season it is hard to know really what awaits. “I want to get into the points and play solid tennis,” said Robinson. “I’m working on my backhand and serve.” To be able to go to nationals as a group is something they will be able to build off. “We train together we work hard together,” said Dael. “It will be fun to go as a group, we’ve got excellent players and excellent coaches.” Up next for the club is an International Tennis Federation tournament in Edmonton, June 29 to July 4, and will be a rare opportunity for international competition for these players. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Rugby league forward James Ackerman dies in a hospital after being injured in a weekend match THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BRISBANE, Australia — The Queensland Rugby League says James Ackerman died in a hospital on Monday, two days after he suffered a head injury in a tackle while playing for the Sunshine Coast Falcons against Norths Devils. He was 25. In a statement released by the QRL, Ackerman’s family said “James loved the game of rugby league. He always played the game with his heart on his sleeve. We will miss you.” Ackerman, a father of two, played 54 matches in the Intrust Super Cup, a second-tier competition to the National Rugby League. The Falcons forward was injured early in the game in northern Brisbane on Saturday and was treated immediately on the field by a doctor before being taken to Royal Brisbane Hospital by ambulance.
B6 RED DEER ADVOCATE Monday, June 22, 2015
Youth the focus for this year’s triathlon ADULTS HELD OUT OF RACE BECAUSE OF UNSAFE CONDITIONS DUE TO CONSTRUCTION BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Adam Guthrie may be a six-year veteran of the Woody’s RV World Triathlon, but as a first year junior he out ran the field. The 16-year-old Red Deer native finished more than eight minutes ahead of Ben Isaac the second place finisher to win the 15th annual race. His rise to the top of the leaderboard is no fluke. He has been building to this level for a number of years now, competing twice at the Alberta Summer Games and last year was a member of the Alberta development team. “It’s nice to bring home a medal in the hometown (race), I really enjoyed doing that,” he said. “I’ve been training for the last year (for today), but my first triathlon was when I was in Grade 5 and then I started training in the summer, but the last couple of years it’s been a year round kind of deal.” Guthrie crossed the finish line in one hour, three minutes and 23 seconds. He finished the swim in 11:23, the biking portion in 32:45 and the run in 18:55. Isaac was the second runner to cross the line in 1:11:58 while Riley Stuermer was third at 1:15.03 Guthrie was just as excited to see the numbers out at the Michener Hill Curling Rink to compete in the triathlon. Race officials say 504 kids registered for the race, setting a new high for the event. “When we get this many people out, it shows that it is important and that
people care,” he said. “I’ve been to the Alberta Summer Games twice and it’s a struggle to get into the event but the more we do this the better chance we have to succeed.” Dina Iatrou, 17, was the first junior girl to finish, completing the course in 1:12:51, more than five minutes ahead of Allison Currie (1:17:34) and Mackenzie Mumford (1:18:12). She too was encouraged by the number of participants. “I think it’s a good community race, it’s nice to get everyone out and having a good time,” said Iatrou. “It’s not all about how fast you finish, it’s just that you came out and you did it.” Iatrou had competed in the Kids of Steel program for a few years growing up but had taken a few years off. She now uses the triathlon to cross-train for other sports, namely track and field and cross-country — she is headed to Lethbridge next year and will be competing for the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns teams in those two sports. “I think it’s just fun to do all three events and its a totally different sport, it’s like the ultimate sport,” said Iatrou. “Not a lot of people are able to handle all of it but it’s all mental, I like the mental aspect of it.” Iatrou was also involved in another in-competition game. Her Hunting Hills Lightning were competing against the Lindsay Thurber Raiders as the two triathlon programs at the school were using the race as a final exam. However, her fast time was not enough to boost Hunting Hills past the Raiders who had the cumulative fastest time among their top 10 runners.
It was just an added wrinkle for organizers. With a volunteer force of about 250 and more than 500 kids to keep track of, race director Shaun Richard had his hands full on Sunday. And this was without adults competing due to road construction that made it unsafe to hold their race. But organizers are dreaming of ways to get even more people involved. “We always want to make it bigger and better,” said Richard, noting the first goal is to get the adults back in the race. “We’re already discussing the idea of having more racers in there and how we can do that without being there all day.” Richard does credit the sponsors, volunteers and race committee, in particular Val Jensen, for their work in making the race a full family event. One of the committee’s biggest projects has been the race day activities that included bouncy castles, food for the competitors, a pancake breakfast, massage therapists and other booths and things geared towards creating a festival atmosphere. “The race wouldn’t happen without them,” said Richard. “The committee was the backbone for me. We’ve all been there for months beforehand and without those guys the race wouldn’t take place.” ● Marcus Brown (42:41) and Tanille Collicutt (50:06) won the boys and girls 14-15 event; Mathias Gelber (36:23) and Asia Kern (37:53) won the 12-13 division; and Ronan Gelber (24:06) and Holly Moores (24:32) took the 10-11 event. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

runs have. Runners were hard pressed not to smile as they embraced their inner child and jumped through adultsized, foam-filled bouncy castles. Mud pits, a cargo climb and slip-nslides were scattered throughout the course, but a favourite obstacle of many was the 55 foot-tall “DeathDrop”- the world’s largest inflatable waterslide. Red Deer sold out all time slots on Saturday and the majority of Sunday’s. It is the only Alberta city on the 5k Foam Fest Canada tour, which will visit a total of 12 different locations across the country.

A fluffy story ARCTIC HAMLET OPENS EIDERDOWN FACTORY TO FEATHER ITS NEST BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SANIKILUAQ, Nunavut — Inuit in a tiny Nunavut community are hoping the whirling flocks of thousands of seabirds that have filled larders for centuries will fill their wallets through one of the world’s rarest and most precious commodities — eiderdown. After being shuttered for nearly a decade, Sanikiluaq’s eider factory started buying eiderdown this month, sustainably collected by Inuit families from the tens of thousands of nests built by the birds nearby. “It will be a big deal,” said Darryl Dibblee, administrator for the hamlet on Flaherty Island in the southeast corner of Hudson Bay. “We’ve already had a fair influx of people selling us down.” While the community hopes for longterm sustainable jobs, it’s also eyeing changes to the water the birds need. Hunters are tracking the shifting ice and sea conditions as hydro projects from Quebec pour vast and increasing amounts of fresh water into the ocean. Eiderdown comes from eider ducks, large seabirds that nest in huge numbers in the Belcher Islands. The hen plucks the down from her breast to protect her nest and the eggs. Collectors take down before the eggs have hatched and take care to leave half the fluff. The down goes to the factory, where it is cleaned and sterilized and sewn into parkas and duvets. A single nest can produce about 70 grams of eiderdown, the warmest and most durable insulation in the world. That sounds like a lot, but average annual worldwide production of eiderdown — most of which now comes from Iceland — is estimated at four tonnes, or about what it would take to fill a cube van. That explains the price. Uncleaned down sells for about $330 a kilogram. Finished duvets cost up to $10,000.
Sanikiluaq plans to sell cleaned down to European manufacturers as well as parkas and duvets, sewn by local women, through the communityowned corporation Belcher Islands Designs. A feasibility study suggests the plant will break even by the second year and produce almost $200,000 in profit by the third. Dibblee said it’ll provide up to 15 jobs. “That’s a big deal in a town of 850 people.” It’s a business rooted in traditional skills and practices, said Joel Heath, a Canadian scientist who’s been studying the ducks and their importance to local culture for years. “How do they use their skills to come up with jobs that are meaningful to them? The eiderdown factory is a great example of that.” Heath has completed an award-winning documentary called People of a Feather about the relationship Sanikiluaq has with the ducks, which have long provided food and clothing. The film also traces changes to the environment the ducks depend on. Vast hydro reservoirs in Quebec are storing freshwater that used to pour into the bay in spring and releasing it instead in the winter to generate power for southern cities. Heath has found a layer of freshwater 25 metres deep all along Hudson Bay’s eastern coast. Ice forms much earlier in the fall, because freshwater freezes more quickly. Large flocks of ducks can get trapped on shrinking pools of open water. Heath has brought together people from five communities to monitor the changes in ice cover and animal use. Using technology provided by Google Maps, the monitors can share information in real time all along the coast. That’s not only useful for hunters, it’s increasingly critical for anyone who wants to travel on the sea ice. “Having long-term jobs for Inuit, working together to try and understand

With no caribou on their islands, Inuit on the Belcher Islands have relied on eider ducks for food and clothing for generations. Here, an Inuit woman wearing a traditional eider skin parka collects duck eggs in a still photo from the film People of a Feather. what’s happening in Hudson Bay ... the idea is, in the long term, (southerners) don’t need to be there,” Heath said. “The communities have enough knowledge to run the programs themselves.” For now, Dibblee just wants to get the factory through its pilot year. Buyers for the down are lining up, waiting to judge the quality.
Accord between Greece, creditors possible: EU leaders BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS’ ATHENS, Greece — A day ahead of a crucial emergency eurozone summit, European leaders renewed efforts to reach a deal between Greece and its creditors that would allow the debtridden country to avoid a default and a potentially disastrous exit from the euro. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras had separate telephone conversations Sunday with French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister’s press office said. Tsipras “presented to the three leaders Greece’s proposal for a mutually beneficial agreement, which will provide a permanent solution and not just postpone tackling the problem,” the press office statement said. Later Hollande told reporters in Milan, where he met with Italian Premier
Matteo Renzi, that everything must be done to keep financially-ailing Greece in the Eurozone. Hollande said that “if the Greeks leave the eurozone it won’t be positive for the Greeks or Europeans.” “We need stability” especially since much of Europe is beginning to rebound economically, he said. “For this reason we must reach an accord.” Renzi added that European leaders were working to have an agreement with Greece “in the next hours,” but didn’t provide any details. Tsipras has been meeting with his senior ministers all day and will leave for Brussels later Sunday. Talks between cash-strapped Greece and its creditors on the completion of an earlier bailout deal had already hit a snag before the January election of the anti-bailout, anti-austerity coalition government headed by the radical leftist Syriza party. As a result, Greece has not received any bailout funds since summer 2014 and its ailing banking system is only
kept afloat through a weekly infusion of emergency funds from the European Central Bank. The new government’s radically different approach, essentially denying the need for austerity measures which it calls “recessionary” has often stretched the talks in the past five months to the breaking point. Now the race is on to prevent the country’s default. Greece is facing a June 30 deadline to make a 1.6 billion euro ($1.8 billion) loan repayment to the International Monetary Fund, which, at present, it would be unable to make, and even bigger payments to the ECB in July. With both Greece and the creditors seemingly locked in a who-will-blinkfirst contest, the battle is on to bridge the gaps and secure a deal. Syriza and similar leftist political groups have organized “solidarity to Greece” rallies across Europe over the weekend or joined related protests such as an anti-austerity march in the United Kingdom on Saturday.
The down sterilizers and eight industrial sewing machines have been imported into the community. He’s confident that the down that insulates eider chicks will help the Inuit feather their own nests. “I wasn’t going to do this unless I knew, long term, it was going to be feasible.”

BRIEF Italian prosecutors seek to indict Bank of China and 297 people in money laundering case ROME — Italian prosecutors are seeking to indict 297 people and the Bank of China in connection with a massive money-laundering investigation. The ANSA news agency reported Saturday that suspects include four senior managers of the Chinese state bank’s branch in Milan. The AP reported earlier this month that police in Florence discovered that more than 4.5 billion euros ($5 billion) in proceeds from counterfeiting, prostitution, labour exploitation and tax evasion had been sent to China in less than four years using a money-transfer service. Nearly half that money was funneled through the Bank of China, which in turn earned a commission, according to Italian investigative documents. Investigators said they got nowhere when they tried to appeal to Chinese authorities for help. Once the money left Italy, it vanished behind China’s great legal firewall.
Canadians are locking in mortgages With the average price of residential property in Canada at more than $431,000, buying a home is a very expensive proposition these days that almost certainly, particularly for first-time buyers will require mortgage financing. Mortgage rates are at near-historic lows and a growing numTALBOT ber of CanadiBOGGS ans are taking advantage of this and choosing to lock in their payments. A recent CIBC poll found that nearly half of Canadians don’t think low rates will last forever and expect mortgage rates will be higher a year from now, resulting in many moving to fixed rate mortgages. Forty seven per cent think rates will go up in the next 12 months, and 48 per cent said they would choose a fixed rate mortgage if they had to make that
MONEYWISE
decision today compared to 31 per cent who would choose a variable rate. “Even though we’ve had a relatively stable rate environment for a number of years Canadians are being prudent when it comes to mortgage planning and are factoring in the possibility of higher rates in the near future,” says Barry Gollom, vice president of secured lending and product policy at CIBC. “With fixed rates near historic lows Canadians see an opportunity to lock in for a number of years in order to reduce the risk of expected higher interest costs.” Fixed rate mortgages are particularly appealing to younger first-time buyers who are seeking financial stability compared to more established owners who have been able to pay down their mortgages or are on their second or third home and are more comfortable with the added risk of variable rates. With a variable mortgage the rate is set at the beginning of each month. Variable mortgage rates generally are determined by commercial banks’ prime rates which are mainly influenced by the Bank of Canada’s key interest rate. Fixed mortgage rates on the other hand are primarily influenced by the
yield on Canadian government bonds of corresponding maturities. Over time, Canadians who have a variable rate mortgage usually end up paying less than those who have a fixed rate mortgage. “However, the key factor is not so much the interest rate but the homeowner’s ability to withstand the ups and downs normally associated with a variable rate mortgage.” says Ken Walus, director of mortgage credit, banking and mortgage operations with Investors Group. Some lenders today are offering variable rates below the prime rate, but finding the right mortgage is about more than just rates. There are other things to consider such as lifestyle preferences and needs and other financial obligations. There are a number of steps home owners can take to pay off their mortgages faster and thereby reduce the amount of interest they end up paying over the life of the loan. The bigger the down payment you can make the less you will have to borrow and the smaller your mortgage will be. With the high cost of a home these days, many first-time buyers can only come up with a 10 per cent down pay-
ment, which will require them to take out mortgage insurance. More secure home buyers will tend to come up with larger down payments of 20 per cent or more, Walus says. Many mortgages will allow you to pay off a portion of the total borrowed each year -- as much as 15 per cent. If you contribute to an RRSP, take your refund money and use it to pay off the mortgage and make payments every two weeks rather than one a month, which results in more payments over the course of the year and allows you to pay down the principal faster. If you get a raise, take the extra income you get and put it toward the mortgage to pay it down faster. Purchasers should take all factors into consideration consider before deciding how big a mortgage to assume. “Mortgage debt is the largest single debt that most people are carrying,” Walus says. “It’s very easy to become house rich but cash poor.” Talbot Boggs is a Toronto-based business communications professional who has worked with national news organizations, magazines and corporations in the finance, retail, manufacturing and other industrial sectors.

Coffee, an old inspiration whose buzz is only growing BY CHRISTOPHER INGRAHAM AND ROBERTO A. FERDMAN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Coffee, the bitter beginning to so many mornings, has been enjoyed since at least the 13th century when the first roasted coffee was served. Today somewhere upward of 2 billion cups each day go down. So who drinks it? And how much? The Dutch, the world’s biggest drinkers, down almost two and a half cups per day on average, according to market research firm Euromonitor. Americans are 16th, at less than a cup each day (way down from 1946, when American consumption peaked at two cups a day). The rise in coffee shops such as Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts has popularized prepared coffee drinks, like Frappuccinos and Chai Tea Lattes, particularly among America’s youth. Almost half of all young adults, aged 18 to 35 years, say that they buy such a concoction at least once a week. The fastest-growing segment of the coffee industry is the pod business, and it’s not even close, driven in the United States by Keurig. One way to measure that ascent is this statistic, from Murray Carpenter’s book Caffeinated: If you were to string all of the K-cups discarded in 2011 together, they would have encircled the globe more than six times.

Matthew Patry of Cooper Roofing in Red Deer works on the near vertical roof of the First Christian Reformed Church on McVicar Street Friday afternoon. Working from the eaves to the peak the roofing crew is stripping the old shingles off and installing new ones as they work their way up the steep roof.
In 2013, the leftover pods could have circled the globe 10 times. Much of the world drinks instant coffee, which is easy to make and perfect for people who don’t appreciate the nuanced flavors of coffee. Exhibit A: Asia Pacific, where tea drinking traditions are strong, is the world’s largest instant coffee consuming region by sales. No coffee is quite as ubiquitous as Nescafé, which 41 countries prefer. In America, coffee preferences split the nation in half: Starbucks Country and Dunkin’ Donuts Land. Overall, there are about 12,000 Starbucks locations and 7,500 Dunkin’ Donuts locations here. In fact, 80 percent of Americans live within 20 miles of a Starbucks. Brazil is overwhelmingly the world’s biggest producer, responsible for about a third of the world’s output. Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Indonesia and Ethiopia together produce over 70 percent of the world’s beans. Addiction to it is nothing new. J.S. Bach wrote a mini-opera around 1735 known as the Coffee Cantanta. It is about a woman who won’t stop drinking coffee and her father who won’t let her marry until she does. They each have a change of heart in a kind of Gift of the Magi situation, and the piece ends with everyone singing coffee’s praises.
Tesla targets an underserved market: women BY DREW HARWELL SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE In a few months, billionaire Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors will roll out its third all-electric vehicle in 12 years, an SUV-minivan mix that looks wildly different from the sportier Roadster and Model S. But the biggest difference for the Model X might not be how it looks, but for whom it was designed: women. Musk has called the Model S “a little too guy-centric” and said the new Model X would be a product of “paying more attention to the needs of women.” It’s an interesting pivot for one of America’s smallest, youngest, publicly traded carmakers — and an important one. SUVs are one of America’s best-selling vehicle types, and they are increasingly popular among female drivers, one of the country’s fastestgrowing markets. Tesla designers gathered a women’s focus group at its headquarters in Palo Alto, California, last year to survey which aspects of the Model X the group found most appealing. That attention to one of the auto world’s most underserved markets seems to be paying off: Earlier this year, Musk said more than half of the Model X’s 20,000 pre-orders have come from women. First unveiled in 2012, the crossover SUV is huge, with space for seven passengers, three rows of seats and an expansive trunk. It offers all-wheel
drive and is expected to go from 0 to 60 mph in less than five seconds, Musk has said. Because it’s heavier, it will not be able to travel as far on a single charge as the Model S: Its range is expected to be between 170 and 230 miles, depending on the size of its battery pack. Like other Teslas, the Model X will be able to charge via a power source in the driver’s garage. The SUV will also be able to tap into Tesla’s free Supercharger network, which offers about 450 stations nationwide that can fully recharge an 85 kilowatt-hour battery in just over an hour. But perhaps the sleekest and most surprising feature of the Model X is its “falcon wing” doors, which fold upward and could prove easier to open in a tight parking space. With their vertical swing, they resemble the “scissor doors” popularized on Lamborghinis, a sleek perk the automaker hopes will turn heads in the parking lot. The Model X is expected to start selling as soon as September for about $70,000. Tesla could use the help. Though revered in car and tech circles, the manufacturer’s sales have been middle-of-the-road. Tesla has delivered about 20,000 Model S sedans in the first six months of the year, less than half of the 55,000 deliveries forecast by the end of the year. The success of the Model X, whose production has been delayed several times for technical changes, could also prove critical to keeping the carmaker

Women bought about 40 percent of the more than 16 million cars and trucks sold nationwide last year, up from about 36 percent five years ago, J.D. Power data show. Women also bought about half of the compact SUVs last year, and IHS Automotive data show that many of the country’s top-selling SUVs and
crossovers, such as the Nissan Rogue, Hyundai Tucson and Buick Encore, are mostly registered to female buyers. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, an industry group, has called women “the engine of the auto economy,” citing a study that said women spend $300 billion a year on vehicles and maintenance. But Tesla has struggled to win them over: In 2013, IHS data show, men accounted for about 86 percent of Model S registrations.
Five things to watch for in Canadian business this week BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Here are five things to look for in Canadian business this week: Environment ministers: Provincial and territorial environment ministers start a two-day meeting in Winnipeg on Monday. Climate change and oil and gas regulations are sure to be on the agenda, but Manitoba’s NDP government says it also intends to raise microbeads at the meeting. Loblaw’s recently announced it was going to stop manufacturing products containing the tiny plastic beads by the end of 2018. Housing: RBC issues its quarterly housing affordability report on Mon-
day. In its last report, RBC Economics found that home ownership is becoming less affordable on average across Canada thanks to price increases in Ontario, especially Toronto, and in Vancouver. Online gambling: Amaya, owner of PokerStars, holds it annual meeting on Monday in Montreal. The company is currently under investigation by Quebec’s securities regulator for insider trading related to the acquisition of PokerStars, the largest online poker cardroom in the world with nearly 50 million registered players. Blackberry: Investors will be looking for direction from CEO John Chen on Wednesday on how he intends to improve the company’s operations, which

have barely returned to profitability. BlackBerry has struggled to sell its most recent devices and its software business is still in a transition phase that Chen is hoping will become a significant revenue driver. Shaw: The communications com-
pany is releasing its third-quarter results on Thursday morning. In addition to changes affecting the industry as a whole, the cable and media company has also been dealing with a downturn in Alberta’s economy due to low oil prices.

Actress and singer Hilary Duff poses for a portrait in New York on March 30, 2015. A tabloid fascination since before she could drive, Hilary Duff knew that releasing a break-up album months after her split from former NHLer Mike Comrie would have listeners connecting the autobiographical dots. But after an eight-year break between albums, the 27-year-old Duff felt ready to delve into it on Breathe In. Breathe Out. the record — which are “a lot more intense” these days with the proliferation of press, she notes — she’ll be heading to Canada, her “second home.” Her records have always sold more proportionally here than in the U.S., something she chalks up to the determination with which she’s toured the country. (She also points out that Comrie’s family lives here, and “we love spending time with them.”) As far as a larger-scale tour, Duff is intrigued but says that, like seemingly everything else lately, “it would be different than how I did it before.” “I love the idea,” she said. “I do have Luca and he’s in school. Every decision I make is based around him, and trying to create a sense of normalcy in his life. “But I definitely want to tour again.”
Jurassic World holds box office lead “We came into the weekend thinking we’d do something in the 60s,” said Dave Hollis, distribution head for Disney. “As we got closer to release, we hit a critical mass of really unbelievable critical response. “ In this day and age where technology allows people to see a Rotten Tomatoes score or read something and pass it along to their friends, all of a sudden, there was quite a stir about this as a thing to see.” The twin hits of Inside Out and Jurassic World are giving Hollywood’s summer a major boost. The weekend was up a staggering 64.6 per cent over the same weekend last year, according to boxoffice data firm Rentrak. In 10 days, Jurassic World has already made $981.3 million and appears poised to be among the highestgrossing releases of all time. “Part of the success of Inside Out is owed to this massive infusion of moviegoers into the marketplace,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak. “If you look at last weekend, around the world, how many people were in theatres when Jurassic World made its debut?” Inside Out and Jurassic World had the multiplexes largely to themselves over the weekend. The other wide release to open was Dope, a lowbudget teen comedy set in Los Angeles’ Inglewood neighbourhood.

NEW YORK — In a box-office bout of Tyrannosaurus-sized proportions, Jurassic World kept the No. 1 spot with one of the biggest second weeks ever, while Pixar’s Inside Out nearly matched it with a $91.1 million debut well above expectations. Universal’s Jurassic World took in $102 million in North American theatres, according to studio estimates Sunday, making it only the second release to break $100 million in its second week. The enormous holdover for Jurassic World, which last week set an opening weekend record with $208.8 million, has been bested by only 2012’s The Avengers, which made $103.1 million in second week. The unexpected sensation of the Colin Trevorrowdirected, Steven Spielberg-produced fourth entry in the franchise had turned Disney’s $175 million 3-D Inside Out into an underdog expected to merely nip at the heels of Jurassic World. But the emotional Inside Out, about the voices in the head of an 11-year-old girl, blew past its own forecasts to set records, too. Inside Out was the first Pixar release not to open in first place, following an unparalleled two-decade streak of 14 straight no. 1s. But it’s the largest opening for a wholly original movie (one not based on source material or a sequel), unseating Avatar in that distinction. Directed by Pete Docter (Up) and codirected by Ronaldo del SPECIAL Carmen, Inside Out had been expected to open in the range of previous Pixar non-sequels like WallTOPPED WITH RED ONION, E ($63.8 million opening) QUINOA, ALMONDS and Brave ($66.3 million). & RASBERRY VINAGRETTE But Inside Out was propelled by gushing reviews from critics, a flashy premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and an appetite for a movie from Pixar. The animation studio hadn’t had a release in two years after delaying The Good Dinosaur last ALL year.

TORONTO — A tabloid fascination since before she could drive, Hilary Duff knew that releasing a breakup album months after her split from former NHLer Mike Comrie would have listeners connecting the autobiographical dots. But after an eight-year break between albums, the 27-year-old Duff felt ready to both dance and disclose. “I would say the record is very personal,” she told The Canadian Press of the recently released Breathe In. Breathe Out. “The whole point of making a record is to open up and give a little piece of yourself away. “Sometimes that’s challenging to decide how much you want to share. But I’d say that most of the songs on the record, even if I didn’t write them myself, they touched me personally.” True to its name, Duff’s new collection shoots to set dancefloors gasping, with its upbeat pace standing in contrast to her reflections on a failing relationship. Much of the record features lyrics about relationships either stuck, broken or over, while several other songs stand as empowerment anthems — including the Duff co-write Brave Heart. “That was kind of a tough one to share,” she said of the song. “Obviously it’s about my relationship and deciding to move on to something that’s unknown and scary, and being brave enough to do it. “(It’s about) kind of tying a bow around the memories you made with someone and being grateful, and deciding to move forward.” Its lessons could be tidily tied not only to Duff’s personal life, but her career. With 2007’s Dignity, she wrapped a run of four albums in four and a half years (not including the needlessly thorough release of two different greatest hits collections). All those studio albums went at least gold — with 2003’s Metamorphosis boasting particularly robust triple platinum sales — but Duff decided to step away from her music career temporarily while also slowing things considerably on the acting front. During her hiatus from the studio, Duff married Comrie, gave birth to her son, Luca, co-wrote a trio of novels and limited her screen appearances mostly to cameos (including stints on Community, Raising Hope and Two and a Half Men). She and Comrie made their divorce public earlier this year. Just as she’s now restarted the engine on her music career, Duff has also found a hit onscreen with TV Land’s “Younger,” recently renewed for a second season. It’s validating, since returning to the industry after such a long layoff wasn’t necessarily easy. “I think overall it’s taken a lot of courage to attempt to get back into the music industry and make a record and to still be relevant — and to put such a big piece of yourself out there to analyze,” she said. She notes that once she wraps publicity duties for

Confused by anniversary party Dear Annie: Is it unorthodox to have a one-year anniversary party? A friend of mine was married last summer. By November, she had created a save-the-date on Facebook for a one-year anniversary party. “Leona” invited everyone who had been on the wedding list, whether they attended or not. MITCHELL So far, only a & SUGAR handful have responded. Leona has since sent out printed invitations with RSVP cards. The party has been described as a casual, potluck barbecue. To me, the whole affair is a bit unseemly. I understand wanting to have
ANNIE ANNIE
a party, but the context of it being an anniversary party to commemorate a couple that has yet to get out of the honeymoon phase seems self-centered. There is little excitement about the event, and after a few conversations with friends, I get the sense that other people feel the same way. I’m not sure how to respond, and am a bit worried about how Leona will feel if few people show up to her gala. —Confused in California Dear Confused: Having an anniversary party, no matter which anniversary, is perfectly fine as long as guests are not expected to pay for it and bring expensive presents. Leona’s mistake was giving the impression that it is a second wedding celebration, but we don’t believe that was her intent. It sounds as though she had a great time at her own wedding and thinks her anniversary is a good excuse to recreate the fun. While we agree that the guest list is larger than propriety endorses, please look at this as a party for friends, and base your reaction solely
on that. It will help. Dear Annie: Last year, our 21-yearold son took a break from college and lived at home. I am amazed by the number of people who thought this was unacceptable and said they would never allow a child to take a year off of college. Here’s my perspective: High school graduation is like taking your 18-yearold to a large transportation hub where they have to pick a train that will take them to their next destination. Say that your young adult picks an express train. About halfway through the journey, he realizes he is on the wrong train, but there are no stops. He imagines that his choices are to stay on the train or jump off while it’s going full speed. You assure him that there is an emergency brake, but everyone says the brake can’t be used, or if he does, he will have to wait a long time for a train headed in a different direction, and he’ll be left behind. We encouraged our son to pull the emergency brake and a year later, we
find we have a happy, healthy young adult headed on the right train. I know that had our son stayed on that express train, he’d have ended up dead on the side of the track. We are happy that we provided him with a safety net. Now he has a bright future. —Mom Dear Mom: No child should be left without emotional backup, and you were smart not to listen to the critics. We support the idea of a gap year before students start college where they may be living away from home for the first time. Kids can use the year to work, travel or volunteer, but it allows them to mature and be more responsible for themselves.

BRIEF Shelter’s Hero Dog award goes to a cat for the 1st time for saving kid from canine LOS ANGELES — For the first time, a Los Angeles shelter’s Hero Dog award has gone to a cat. In May 2014, Tara the cat fought off a dog that attacked her 6-year-old owner as he rode his bicycle in the driveway of the family’s Bakersfield home. Tara bodyslammed Scrappy, a chow-mix that lived next door, when the dog got out of his yard, ran for Jeremy Triantafilo, grabbed his leg and started shaking from side-to-side. Tara chased the dog toward its home. It was later euthanized. Jeremy, who is autistic and had to have eight stitches, calls Scrappy a “bad dog,” said his dad, Roger Triantafilo. About Tara, Jeremy said, “She is my hero.” “We were so impressed by Tara’s bravery and fast action that the selection committee decided that a cat this spectacular should be the National Hero Dog,” said Madeline Bernstein, president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles. The shelter’s 33rd annual award was presented to the family in downtown Los Angeles on Friday. You will usually find Tara close to Jeremy, his father said. He believes Tara would help Jeremy’s twin brothers, Carson and Conner, if they needed it.

A Grade 7 student is trying to win a trip to Ottawa for her project in the Canadian Heritage Fair. Zoie Kachor, who attends Penhold Crossing Secondary School, has seen her class project about something that changed Canada’s history rise from the classroom to national level. Her project was about Canadian Olympian Curtis Myden. Now she is one of 12 Alberta students who has a chance to win one of two trips to Ottawa to go to the History Youth Forum in the fall. A video has been made of her project and can be seen on the youngcitizens. ca website. Online voting is underway to choose the Alberta winner. This vote counts as 50 per cent of the student’s final mark. The winner will be announced in August. Each person can vote once per video by entering their email address. Voting closes on July 5. To vote for Zoie or any of the other students in the contest, go to the youngcitizens.ca website.

‘Emanuel 9’ remembered CHURCH OPENS DOORS FOR FIRST SERVICE SINCE SHOOTING; REOPENING ‘SENDS A MESSAGE’ BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLESTON, S.C. — Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church opened its tall, wooden doors to the world Sunday, embracing strangers who walked in from the street or tuned in from home for the first worship service since a white gunman was accused of killing nine black church members. It was that same hospitality that allowed the suspected gunman to be welcomed into a Bible study for about an hour before he allegedly stood up, made racially offensive remarks and opened fire in the church known as “Mother Emanuel” because it is one of the oldest black congregations in the South. “I was so pleased when authorities told us you can go back into ’Mother Emanuel’ to worship,” said the Rev. Norvel Goff, a presiding elder of the 7th District AME Church in South Carolina, before adding a note of defiance to a service sprinkled with themes of love, recovery and healing. “Some folks might need some more time in order to walk in. But for those of us who are here this morning ... because the doors of Mother Emanuel are open on this Sunday, it sends a message to every demon in hell and on earth.” The church’s air conditioning did little to fight the heat of extra bodies in the sanctuary. There was fervent singing and shouting, so much so that many congregants waved small fans in front of their faces. Despite the heaviness in the air, many stood — some holding small children — to shout their praises or raise their hands toward the church’s vaulted ceiling. For added security, police officers stood watch over worshippers. Some congregation members stood to applaud when Goff thanked law enforcement for their response to the

People pay respects outside Emanuel A.M.E. Church during a worship service, Sunday, in Charleston, S.C., four days after a mass shooting at the church claimed the lives of its pastor and eight others. shooting. Goff was appointed to lead the historic Charleston church after Emanuel’s senior pastor, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, was fatally shot during the massacre. A black sheet was draped over Pinckney’s usual chair, which sat empty. At least one parishioner kneeled down in front of it and prayed. Pinckney was also a state senator and married father of two. Goff acknowledged Father’s Day and said: “The only way evil can triumph is for good folks to sit down and do nothing.” As Emanuel’s congregation belted out a gospel hymn, church bells rang throughout the “Holy City” —nicknamed because of the numerous churches here. Later Sunday, people were expected to gather on the Arthur Ravenel Bridge to join hands in solidarity. The bridge is named after a former state lawmaker and vocal Confederate

flag supporter. The slayings have renewed calls for the flag to be removed from the South Carolina Statehouse grounds, in part because photographs of Roof in a purported manifesto showed him holding Confederate flags. The 2,500-word manifesto also contained hate-filled writings. Less than 2 miles from the church, someone vandalized a Confederate monument, spray-painting “Black Lives Matter” on the statue. City workers used a tarp to cover up the graffiti, police said. Photos on local news websites from before the tarp was put up showed the graffiti in bright red paint, along with the message “This is the problem. RACIST.” Around the country, pastors asked people to pray for Charleston. In Atlanta’s 1st Iconium Baptist Church, a predominantly black church with a tradition of speaking out for social jus-

Timothy McDonald told his congregation Sunday that he had met Pinckney last April during a visit to Columbia, South Carolina, with a group of ministers. “You talk about a promising young man,” he said, expressing shock at the manner of Pinckney’s death. “How do you sit in a Bible Study next to a pastor for almost an hour and then you just stand up and shoot to kill? That kind of hate, that kind of evil - we need God y’all. We need Jesus,” McDonald said. The tragedy resonated far beyond urban areas.

Yoga Day celebrated around the world MILLIONS BEND AND CONTORT THEIR BODIES TO CELEBRATE FIRST YOGA DAY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW DELHI — Millions of yoga enthusiasts across the world bent and twisted their bodies in complex postures Sunday to mark the first International Yoga Day. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spread his mat among rows of people, including his Cabinet members and foreign diplomats, at New Delhi’s main thoroughfare, which was transformed into a sprawling exercise ground. Thousands of people dressed in white sat on yellow mats under the Eiffel Tower, and similar events were held in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Beijing, Manila and other places. Modi had lobbied the U.N. to declare June 21 as the first International Yoga Day. “We are not only celebrating a day, but we are training the human mind to begin a new era of peace and harmony,” Modi told participants. “This is a program for the benefit of mankind, for a tension-free world and to spread the message of harmony.” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the Yoga Day participants worldwide. He recalled that he tried his first Yoga asana — the tree pose — during a visit to India earlier this year and said the once he regained his balance he “began to feel a certain peace of mind.” “My hope is that yoga will give people everywhere the sense and the oneness we need to work together to live in harmony and usher in a life of dignity for all,” Ban said. Schoolchildren, bureaucrats, homemakers, soldiers and ordinary folk took part in the exercise, held in all Indian state capitals. In Modi’s home state of Gujarat, yoga events were organized at nearly 30,000 places, state officials said. In Taipei, more than 2,000 participants rolled out mats and performed 108 rounds of the “sun salutation” — the sequence of poses often practiced at the beginning of a routine as the sun rises. “They give themselves a piece of time to observe their mind and their heart, which I think in the modern society we need a lot,” said practitioner Angela Hsi. Fazel Shah, an Indian pilot working for a Middle Eastern airline, rushed from the airport on his stopover in Taiwan to join the event. “Isn’t it awesome? I mean, just look at the number of people who are here, embracing it,” he said. He said yoga was probably born in India but be-

So, I just go down and meet up with them, that’s all.” In Dubai, a 41 year-old Indian man attempted the world’s longest headstand. Ivan Stanley, who has lived in Dubai for 15 years, held the position for 61 minutes. He registered his attempt with Guinness World Records, which has yet to announce if he broke the record. He later told reporters that he relied on his mental strength. “Up to 45 (minutes), it started getting physically a little challenging in my shoulder and neck but after that it was completely mental,” he said. “The last five minutes were really hard.” Many believe that yoga, the ancient form of exercise, is the best way to calm the mind and the best form of exercise for the body. Indian officials said more than 35,000 people participated in the New Delhi event that was also an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the largest
single yoga class at a single venue. Guinness representatives said they hired more than 1,500 members of a global accounting firm to count participants. India’s Defence Ministry said that soldiers on the Siachen Glacier, the world’s highest battleground in the Himalayas, and naval cadets on navy ships at sea also had participated in the Yoga Day events. Although Modi’s message was one of peace and harmony, many in India were concerned that the push for yoga was an attempt by Hindu groups to give a boost to Hinduism. Many Muslims objected to the government’s exhortations to join the public exercise programs. Some Muslim leaders said yoga was a Hindu practice. The government quickly dropped a plan for the “sun salutation” exercise, which Muslims found objectionable because it implied the sun was a deity. Also dropped was the Hindu “om” chant. Some Christian groups were upset that the mass yoga sessions were being held at a time when they usually attend Sunday Mass.
Manhunt for escaped killers shifts near Pennsylvania BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FRIENDSHIP, N.Y. — Investigators tracking two murder convicts who escaped from a northern New York prison scoured a rural area near the Pennsylvania border Sunday, saying an unconfirmed but credible report of a sighting had shifted the search across the state. About 300 law enforcement officers searched the neighbouring towns of Amity and Friendship, where two men who resembled the convicts were spotted Saturday near a railroad line that runs along a county road. While state police called the sighting unconfirmed, the intense hunt that had focused for two weeks around a prison near the Canadian border was quickly refocused on a rural, mountainous area 350 miles away, dotted with sheds, trailers, summer homes and other potential hideouts. “We will search under every rock, behind every tree and structure until we are confident that that area is secure,” State Police Maj. Michael J. Cerretto said at a news conference Sunday. Concentrating in the area along County Route 20 and Interstate 86, officers walked railroad tracks, checked car trunks and deployed search dogs as a helicopter flew back and forth overhead. At one point, state police outfitted in camouflage could be seen heading into some woods. David Sweat and Richard Matt broke out of the maximum-security Clinton Correctional Facility in
Dannemora on June 6 using power tools and leaving behind dummies under bedcovers in their adjoining cells. If the two escapees are still together, that’s not surprising, experts said. In the wilderness, fugitives often stick together for survival’s sake, unless they have pre-planned to split up and reunite at a camp or other hideaway, said Patrick Patten, who trains law enforcers on woodland tracking. That can be true in urban settings, too. Five of seven inmates who broke out of a Texas prison in December 2000 were staying in the same Colorado motor home when authorities caught up with them about six weeks later; the other two were captured together days later in a nearby hotel. While escapees may risk drawing more attention than they would alone, they may not separate partly out of concern that one will blunder, get caught and give up the other or others, said Terry Pelz, a former Texas prison warden who now teaches criminal justice at the University of Houston. Also, “they probably have an understanding that they’re better off together” because they can help each other, such as by trading off lookout duty, he said. Until Saturday, the search for Matt and Sweat was concentrated in a several-mile radius around the prison in the Adirondacks. After a woman called in Saturday’s possible sighting in Friendship, police interviewed the witness at length and decided she was credible and the tip bore investigating, Cerretto
New Orleans police catch man accused of killing officer; boarding bus, handcuffs on BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — After an intense 24-hour manhunt, New Orleans police Sunday arrested a man believed to have shot and killed a police officer while wearing handcuffs as he was being transported to jail. Travis Boys, 33, was still wearing his broken handcuffs when a rookie officer and his trainer spotted him trying to board a city bus Sunday morning, said Police Superintendent Michael Harrison. “To my understanding, he got on the bus after spotting the officers. And the officers saw that and then he got off the bus and then was apprehended,” Harrison told reporters, while standing in front of a memorial to the city’s fallen police officers. But questions remain about where the gun used to kill Officer Daryle Holloway, 45, came from and how Boys hid from an intense law enforcement search. Authorities took Boys to a hospital for treatment of apparent dehydration, Harrison said. Video by
Al-Jazeera journalist to remain in German custody BERLIN — A prominent Al-Jazeera journalist will remain in German custody for a second night, prosecutors said Sunday, adding they have not yet decided whether to extradite him to Egypt or set him free. As dozens of supporters protested Sunday in front of the Berlin court building where Ahmed Mansour was being held, his lawyer, Fazli Altin, called for the journalist’s immediate release, saying that Germany was getting involved in a politically tainted case. Mansour, 52, a well-known journalist with the Qatar-based broadcaster’s Arabic service, was detained
WVUE-TV showed Boys strapped onto a gurney and being put into an ambulance, his head slumped over. He will be booked on charges of first-degree murder of a police officer, aggravated escape and illegal possession of a firearm, as well as the aggravated battery charge for which he was originally arrested on Friday night, Harrison said. Harrison said authorities are investigating how he got the gun that was used to shoot the officer. The officer’s gun was in his holster and not used, Harrison said. Authorities recovered two weapons in the police vehicle — a .38-calibre revolver that had been used in the initial aggravated battery for which Boys had been arrested and a .40-calibre Smith and Wesson that was used to shoot the officer, Harrison said. Boys was frisked before being transported, so authorities are trying to figure out where the gun came from, Harrison said. “We’re going to find out how that happened to ensure that that absolutely never happens again,” Harrison said. at Berlin’s Tegel airport on Saturday on an Egyptian arrest warrant, his lawyers said. Mansour, who holds dual Egyptian-British nationality, was trying to board a Qatar Airways flight to Doha, the station reported. Martin Steltner, a spokesman for the Berlin prosecutor’s office, said Sunday that Mansour would be taken to a prison in the city and that further decisions on his future will be made next week. A government judicial official told the AP there would probably be a decision next week on whether Mansour has to remain in custody. In addition, the Berlin Court of Justice would decide — once it gets a request for extradition from Egypt — whether Mansour can be extradited or whether the case is politically motivated.
said. Authorities also said Friday that two men fitting the descriptions of Sweat and Matt had been seen a week ago in Steuben County, east of Allegany County. Two men were seen walking near a rail yard in Erwin on June 13, and then spotted the next day in Lindley, heading toward the Pennsylvania border. Investigators also have conducted interviews in both communities and sent surveillance video to Albany for further analysis. Cerretto on Sunday wouldn’t say whether there had been any further reports of sightings. Two railroads in the area, the Western New York & Pennsylvania and the Norfolk Southern, referred inquiries Sunday to the state police. Another, the Buffalo and Pittsburgh Railroad, hadn’t been contacted by authorities but had advised its employees to be extra-vigilant in looking for anything out of the ordinary, general manager J.L. Pope said.

Apps can help keep blood sugar in balance BY STEVEN PETROW SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE As anyone with diabetes knows, the daily grind of managing the disease — from watching carbs and calories to tracking blood sugar and A1C levels — can be tiresome. In an age when there’s an app for just about everything, it seems as if this is a problem just waiting to be solved by technology. This should be easy, right? When I searched my iPhone’s app store for “diabetes,” however, I was stopped cold: More than 1,200 apps came up, not to mention related links to others. This may be a great use of technology, but deciding which apps are best? Not easy for a layperson. “It’s encouraging to see so many apps that attempt to ease the self-care tasks and tracking associated with all types of diabetes,” Kelly Rawlings, editorial director of Diabetes Forecast magazine, told me. “But the sheer number and range of usability make it a tricky product area to navigate for health-care providers and the people who use the apps.” Rawlings is right — and things are likely to get even more complicated. According to the most recent National Diabetes Statistics Report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 29 million Americans have diabetes, and 95 percent of them have Type 2, the form most associated with obesity. To boot, new cases of diagnosed diabetes among people age 20 or older topped 1.7 million; the report also estimates that 86 million Americans older than 20 suffer from prediabetes, most of whom are at a high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Those numbers provide a lot of incentive for app makers to develop new products, and there is scientific support as well. A study published in the journal Clinical Diabetes concludes that “the use of mobile phones leads to improved A1C and self-management in diabetes care.” But with the app store already crowded with possible solutions and with more of them likely to come in the future, how can people figure out which app is right for them? As endocrinologist David Marrero, the director of Indiana University’s Diabetes Translational Research Center, put it: “Depending on the situation and the individual, apps can be very worth-
while, especially for [the] support” they can provide from others. He added bluntly: “Some are junk. Others are very well designed. Most of them, in my experience, are very complicated.” And for people with diabetes, choosing among them can depend on one’s needs and level of tech-savviness. Ron Gerard, 60, a former programmer who has Type 2 diabetes, echoes Marrero’s perspective. Even for someone with a tech background, Gerard said, “some apps were too complicated, while others wanted too much information,” creating privacy issues. Through trial and error he has found a handful of apps that meet his needs, including Dbees, which tracks his blood sugar and turns the numbers into a graph he can print out for his endocrinologist. Teresa Van Blade, 44, who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes four years ago, likes Diabetes Tracker, which she uses on her Kindle. “It’s a neat little app that helps me keep track of my blood glucose,” she said. “It also reminds me of doctor’s appointments and gives me recipes and food guidelines.” She admits she had to play around with several apps before deciding which one was best for her. Her advice: “Just look around. It’s . . . a personal preference as to what you want in the app.” Marrero recommends choosing apps based on individual goals. For some people with diabetes, that’s weight control; others need help tracking blood glucose or remembering to take medication, while some turn to their apps to find community support. Most people I spoke with agreed there’s no one app that does all of that well — yet. For Bennet Dunlap, 57, diagnosed five years ago, exercise is a key strategy in keeping his condition under control. He tried Strava, an all-purpose cycling and running app, after hearing about it from another person with diabetes. Since downloading the app, which features numerous group challenges (such as 10Ks and halfmarathons), Dunlap has been able “to connect to other people with diabetes who stay active.” He says he has lost 20 pounds since last summer. For Naveed Moeed, 41, the primary goal is tracking his glucose levels, for which he uses mySugr. He enters his blood sugar levels and food intake into the app, which uploads his data to his iPhone. The phone’s iHealth dashboard displays in graph form data col-

Endocrinologist David Marrero says apps can be very worthwhile for diabetics. But, he adds, some are junk.. lected from mySugr as well as workout and sleep data from other apps. “The individual apps can provide warnings and reminders,” Moeed says, “but the real next step in this evolution for me is for my primary care provider to get all of the data on my dashboard to help inform my dietary and health decisions and provide oversight and encouragement.” Moeed, who is an IT professional, calls 2015 “the year of convenience for Type 2 diabetes.” Apps may be the smartest way to manage diabetes for many people, but as Diabetes Forecast’s Rawlings says, “unused apps stored on a smartphone
do not change behavior or improve health.” In the perfect app, data entry would be automatic and would integrate seamlessly with medical devices. Until then, as Moeed says, humans are the weak link: “If I don’t have the discipline to take my blood sugar and input my food, then everything else is useless. If you take ownership of your health care, then technology really helps.” Based on the recommendations of diabetes experts and people with diabetes as well as on my test drives for ease of use, here are some of the best apps, grouped by goal.

TORONTO — A clinical trial of what was once thought to be one of the brightest hopes for an Ebola drug has been halted after an interim assessment concluded there was no sign the experimental product was offering overall benefit. Tekmira Pharmaceuticals announced Friday that the Phase 2 trial of its TKM-Ebola drug had been stopped in Sierra Leone. The announcement leaves the drug in limbo. Tekmira offered no comment on whether it plans to continue to develop the Ebola drug and a sister compound designed to fight infection with Marburg fever, a disease similar to Ebola. The Burnaby, B.C.-based company did not respond to a request for an interview. When asked by email if the drug should be shelved as an Ebola therapeutic, principal investigator Dr. Peter Horby replied: “It is too soon to say really.” A scientist who has researched the drug in non-human primates expressed concern about the development, worrying that the decision might scupper a drug he believes shows a lot of promise. “Knowing the mechanism of how the drug works, looking at all the nonhuman primate data we have, it’s hard for me to believe that the drug would not be beneficial if used under the right circumstance,” said Tom Geisbert, an Ebola virus expert at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. Geisbert does not have a financial interest in the drug. He noted that an improved version of the drug that he and others tested in primates late last year showed greater success than the version that was being used in the trial in Sierra Leone. And Geisbert said if TKM-Ebola is shelved, the hopes for Ebola treatment will rest almost entirely on one drug, ZMapp — the antibody cocktail created at Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg based on anti-
bodies created in Winnipeg and at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases in Frederick, Md. “I can tell you (from) all the monkey studies that we do, you’ve got ZMapp and this one. And there’s a gigantic gap between those two drugs in monkeys and everything else.... You’re dropping off a cliff to the next thing down,” Geisbert said. When the World Health Organization convened a meeting of experts last September to look for treatment options for the then-mushrooming Ebola outbreak, TKM-Ebola was listed as one of the leading candidates among a very small group of potential drugs. But privately, some scientists have wondered whether the drug would be well tolerated. While it’s not clear whether that became a concern during the clinical trial, the Tekmira statement quotes Horby saying “final conclusions on the efficacy and tolerability of the drug” cannot be made until the data the trial generated are fully analyzed. A study published in April described using TKM-Ebola on two Americans who contracted Ebola in West Africa and were flown to the U.S. for care. Both survived, but the doctors said they could not determine if the drug had contributed to their recovery. Both also received blood transfusions from Ebola survivors. Likewise, the doctors could not say if the drug contributed to the severity of symptoms recorded. In one of the patients, TKM-Ebola was discontinued after six days because his condition worsened. “Future studies with siRNA products should direct attention to the possibility of adverse effects by the mechanism of immune activation,” the physicians wrote in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. The acronym siRNA stands for small interfering RNA, which is the class of drugs to which TKM-Ebola belongs. They work by silencing targeted disease-causing genes. Geisbert said he has never seen tox-

Embracing embroidery BY SANAE NOKURA SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE TOKYO — On an evening in late May, 11 women worked industriously at a workshop called “Embroidery cafe,” which was held at J.S. Pancake Cafe Aoyama store in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo. Most of the women came to the 7 p.m. workshop after work. The participants received a handkerchief or other material that bore the printed outline of a teacup or other motifs. The women then intently stitched along the outline. Embroidery is becoming more popular, particularly among young women. The traditional handicraft seems fresh to them, and the ways in which to appreciate it are diversifying. In addition to workshops at cafes, accessories with distinctive motifs and colors made by embroidery artists are on sale nowadays. The J.S. Pancake Cafe Aoyama store has held about 100 embroidery workshops since its first one two years ago. Those taking part are mainly women in their 20s to 40s. It costs 3,990 yen (about $40), including food and materials, according to the store. “I’m happy I can make something original just by embroidering on a small item sold at a store,” said a 31-year-old company employee of Minato Ward, Tokyo. Another company employee, 33, who participated in the workshop with a colleague, said, “For me, embroidery looks classical and fashionable.” The workshop is organized by Junko Yazaki, who has published books and held events on embroidery. “It seems people feel calmer and less stressful by concentrating on stitching by hand,” Yazaki said. “Needles, thread and cloth are all you need. It’s popular partly because you can start work so easily.” Embroidery was considered unfashionable about 10 years ago, according to Yazaki. Recently, some embroidery artists have begun making products with unconventional designs, which look fashionable to young people. The roomsShop in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, sells products from four embroidery brands. Brooches from tamao, a female artist’s brand, are distinct because the motifs are based on main characters of children’s tales, such as Snow White and Red Riding Hood, depicted in viv-

Embroidery is becoming more popular, particularly among young women. Junko Yazaki, third from left, teaches basic stitches to beginners at an embroidery workshop in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo id colors such as red and pink. The pokefasu brand by a male artist also presents brooches that are popular due to their humorous motifs such as a bear carrying shopping bags. The prices of the brooches start at 2,000 yen, which is around $20 CAD. “They look somewhat unrefined, but their warm touches suggesting they are handmade products are popular,” shop
manager Kanae Murakami said. The Daikanyama Tsutaya bookstore in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, has about 70 embroidery-themed books. Popular among them are those featuring motifs by young artists. They are bought by men, too. Many artists today have studied at art colleges, so their works often include intriguing motifs such as insects
and skulls, according to Misako Sugawara, who is in charge of the handicraft book section at the bookstore. Some of them post their creations on their own websites and Facebook, increasing their fanbase, she said. “As motifs and colors are becoming more diversified, embroidery seems to be becoming more accessible for young people,” Sugawara said.
How millennial shoppers have made Gap’s ‘basic’ look obsolete BY LINDSEY BEVER SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE During its most successful run, Gap’s fashion catered to children of the 1980s and ‘90s — first with plain Tshirts and blue jeans, then with buttondowns and clean-cut khakis. Artists and musicians helped popularize the androgynous look, one that seemed to define Generation X, whose shoppers strove to fit the trend. It was a snapshot of pop-culture. In 1993, it was used as fodder for a Saturday Night Live skit “The Gap Girls.” In 1995 and again in 1998, Sharon Stone sported Gap shirts on the red carpet. But the idea that once made Gap so popular has become obsolete. “Historically, Gap has had a very distinct look. It was very much about creating uniforms,” said Kelly Tackett, research director and retail analyst at Planet Retail. “Millennials want to put together their own identity.” On Monday, Gap, which was once touted as the world’s largest specialty apparel retailer, said it’s closing 175 stores in North American to attempt to boost profitability. After cutbacks over the next few years, the chain in North America will include about 500 regular-price stores and 300 outlets. Stores that are being shuttered are regular-price Gap shops. In addition, the company said it’s cutting 250 positions at its San Francisco headquarters. “Customers are rapidly changing how they shop today, and these moves will help get Gap back to where we know it deserves to be in the eyes of consumers,” chief executive Art Peck said. The problem, experts say, is that Gap has failed to keep up with its target customers — the millennials — who have a dramatically different fashion sense from the generation before them.
These shoppers are less interested in name brands and more about creating their own unique style, according to market research. They’re also less willing to pump their entire paycheck into their wardrobes. That’s why stores like Forever 21, H&M and Uniqlo have been giving Gap a run for its money, experts say, because they offer customers a unique appearance at a lower cost. That’s also why Gap Inc.’s budget brand, Old Navy, has kept the parent company afloat. When shoppers want the basics, they can find them at Old Navy for a much smaller price tag. “The problem was Gap got boring,” retail analyst Candace Corlett told Racked. “After the popularity of the khaki, it was an ongoing parade. How many tan khakis and white button-down shirts does someone need? They were always the old, reliable Gap but high-energy, trendy retailers were moving into the closet.” Gap knows this. Gap opened its first store in San Francisco in 1969, selling Levi’s and LP records. It was enormously successful during Gen-X’s reign. But for more than a decade now, the brand has been on the decline. In 2007, Gap hired creative director Patrick Robinson to increase sales, but by 2009 sales were down 10 percent and he was let go. In late 2012, it hired Danish fashion designer Rebekka Bay who vowed to bring the brand’s basic style into a new generation. However, her pieces were called drab and she was let go earlier this year, according to The New York Times. Gap’s most recent attempt to revamp its brand came with a new marketing campaign, which uses taglines such as “dress normal,” “dress like no one’s watching” and “simple clothes for you to complicate.” The idea, it seems, is to

tweak Gap’s once successful image to make it more relevant, tapping into the normcore fashion trend that has popularized average-looking apparel. But despite its best efforts, Gap has been treading water. Sales fell 10 percent in the three months leading up to May 2, according to the Wall Street Journal, and its shares are down about 9 percent so far for the year. “I continue to be disappointed but not surprised by Gap’s performance,” Peck told Bloomberg Business in May. “I can promise you that the team is all over it.” Peck said the cutbacks are intended to keep the brand the right size for its market. “Many of these stores are in centers we’ve been in for a long time,” he said. Experts say many large American retailers are “overstored,” meaning they have more locations than they need during a time when regional malls are competing with online shopping. Abercrombie & Fitch, Macy’s and Sears have also said this year they will be closing some shops. “Customers are changing way they’re shopping,” Tackett said. “There’s less of a need for retailers to have expensive real estate in stores; that real estate can be better used elsewhere.” Tackett said younger shoppers add contributing factors into the mix. To-
day’s consumers are spending more time shopping online and less time browsing in stores, which has brought store productivity down exponentially. Also, consumers have more expenses competing for their paycheck such as entertainment, technology and dinners out, which are “winning a greater share of the wallet from teens and young adults,” she said. But Tackett said the bigger question is whether the Gap’s downsizing will free up the capital the company needs to address the real problem: its products. She said similar stores such as American Eagle, Aeropostale and Abercrombie & Fitch — once popular for their recognizable brands — have taken a hit as well, which only emphasizes the fact that the fashion industry is changing. Abercrombie & Fitch, for instance, announced last year that it was reducing the size of its logo and adding more variety to its women’s line to appeal to millennials who want to stand out. “They no longer want to be a walking billboard of a brand,” Abercrombie spokesman Michael Scheiner told Reuters. “Individualism is important to them, having their own sense of style.” Tackett said that’s a lesson worth learning. “You always need to stay close to the customer you’re designing for,” she said.
