Super Dave Mathieson flies over Rocky Mountain House.

His call sign needs little explanation. Captain Denis “Cheech” Beaulieu likes to fly high. Beaulieu will do just that as he thrills audiences in a CF-18 jet at today’s Rocky Mountain House Airshow. Beaulieu, the Hornet demo pilot, is part of the 425 Tactical Fighter Squadron at Bagotville, Quebec. The 34-year-old says he likes the change of scene in the fighter pilot life and travelling across North America. His gig with the demo team is for one year. “It’s only 20 minutes and I have to land after 20 minutes because I use so much power,” he said. “I use full power through the demo routine that I burn all my gas very quick. It’s a very aggressive flight and it’s pretty intense.” The five-month demo season at airshows starts in May and wraps up in September for the Canadian

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE AIRSHOW C1 Forces F-18 demo team. There are seven members on the team. “So far, so good,” said Beaulieu. “We always err on the side of safety. That’s why we have an arresting cable in Rocky Mountain because of the high altitude and short run way.” He said there have been some close calls with birds but that’s expected when you are flying in their territory. The jet’s design commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. British, Canada and allied fighter pilots pushed back the Germans in the battle. The aviation show will also feature the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, Super Dave Mathieson, one of stars on the hit Airshow on the Discovery Channel, the Granley Family Airshows, Stefan Trischuk and much more.

Groups calling for reforms in mining waste regulations following report ENERGY AND MINES MINISTERS’ CONFERENCE

HALIFAX — More than 50 organizations called on governments Tuesday to implement the recommendations of an independent report to prevent mine waste leaks similar to the Mount Polley disaster in British Columbia as provincial and territorial ministers gathered in Halifax for a meeting. In a letter to 13 ministers, the groups ask that governments implement the recommendations released in January by an independent expert panel, which reviewed the massive tailings leak. Twenty-four million cubic metres of mine waste flowed into area lakes and waterways last August after a breach of the tailings dam at the central B.C. mine. The report found the dam was built on a glacial lake deposit, which caused the weakened structure to burst. At the Energy and Mines Ministers’ Conference in Halifax on Tuesday, B.C. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the incident at Mount Polley was discussed at the meeting and other provinces are taking a look at the report. “I think there is concurrence across the country that we need to learn from what happened,” said Bennett at the meeting’s closing news conference, adding that his province has already committed to

adopting all of the report’s recommendations. “I believe that all of the provinces are having a look at it. Some provinces are already doing some of the things that are noted in the report.” Ugo Lapointe of MiningWatch Canada, one of the groups who signed the letter, said it’s encouraging to know the Mount Polley incident was part of the meeting’s agenda. But Lapointe added that the meetings were behind closed doors, so any outcomes of those discussions are not publicly known. He said that leaves him with many questions. “What we heard today... is at least now all Canadians ministers are aware of that disaster and they are aware of the independent expert panel report recommendations,” said Lapointe just after the two-day meeting closed. “Now we’ll have to be careful in the following weeks and months to see if other provinces and territories across Canada are implementing those recommendations.” Bennett recently appointed a committee to determine how to best enact the report’s seven recommendations in his province, which include improving engineering practices and strengthening regulatory operations. Some of the report’s other recommendations include creating an independent tailings review board and maintaining a detailed tailing dams and facilities inventory database, the group’s letter said. That includes controlled collisions in the air with some leg locks, parachute flipping and much more. A B-17G Sentimental Journey and the B-25 Maid in the Shade from the Arizona Commemorative Air Force will be grounded on show day with paid rides the next day. But you do not have to be an aviation enthusiast to have a good time at the show. “Some people go to a hockey game and they don’t know what an offside is,” laughed Ken Fowler, airport manager and pilot. “This show has the largest line up in Alberta.

Towle says Alberta should have new political party EDMONTON — A former member of the Alberta legislature who lost her riding in the May election says a new political party is needed in the province. Kerry Towle, who represented Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, crossed the floor from the Wildrose to the Conservatives six months before the election. She tells radio station CHED she doesn’t regret that move, but agrees both she and the Tories deserved to lose. She says she still believes the Wildrose has some great policies but adds there are “some issues with their social progressiveness.” She says she’d like to see a new party form that addresses grassroots interests.

Ski development a concern: report JASPER NATIONAL PARK BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Parks Canada has opened the door to ski hill expansion at one of its Rocky Mountain national parks despite its own research suggesting that further development would threaten a nearby caribou herd. A report on the Marmot Basin ski area in Jasper National Park was completed more than a year ago, but was never made public. Lead author Fiona Schmiegelow decided this month she would release the report herself to anyone who asked. “I didn’t want to say to people, ’No, I can’t discuss this work,”’ said Schmiegelow, a University of Alberta biologist. “I felt it was time for the work to be made public.” Schmiegelow was contracted by former Jasper conservation manager John Wilmshurst and the ski hill’s operators to study possible effects of expansion on the Tonquin caribou. The herd, under federal protection as a threatened species, lives in the park next to the resort and has seen its numbers drop to fewer than 50 animals from 111 in 2006. Parks Canada is updating guidelines for ski hills in national parks. In an effort to cap commercial growth, resort operators have been asked to list projects they may at some point propose. Marmot Basin has suggested returning some land to the park, while increasing ski runs and trails on unused areas. Parks Canada agreed in June 2014 that the ideas would be considered. The ski hill has not yet tabled any formal proposal. Three months before the resort and the federal agency reached their agreement, Schmiegelow had concluded that not only would Marmot’s plans damage important caribou calving

BRIEF This little piggy leaves home: animal bylaw forces porker to hoof it SHERWOOD PARK, — Eli the potbellied pig is hitting the road after losing his right to live with his Edmontonarea owners. Michelle Kropp and her family kept Eli as a pet in their Sherwood Park house for more than 4 ½ years. But the porker is considered livestock under a county bylaw and the family was told Eli would have to hoof it after a neighbour complained. The family took the matter to court, but a judge sided with the county last fall.

habitat, some of Parks Canada’s own planned trails and roads would be part of the problem. “These are additional pressures on a population that already seems to be struggling,” Schmiegelow said. “If the primary mandate of the park is maintenance of ecological integrity, if conservation takes priority, we don’t want to be doing anything that exacerbates the present condition.” Schmiegelow said she was warned the release of her report could be delayed as Parks Canada developed a response. Six months turned to eight, then a year. Finally, when Wilmshurt was abruptly fired last June, Schmiegelow decided to act. “That was the catalyst. I felt (the firing) might precipitate requests for information about the work and I was not prepared to not release it any further.” Jasper’s acting conservation manager said the report is likely to be included in an overall package of information on plans for the area to be released this fall. Shawn Cardiff said the report contained “no surprises” for either Parks Canada or Marmot Basin. Cardiff said no decisions have been made. “That is the purpose of the report, to help us better understand what the potential implications are of some of the activities in the site guidelines. The ideas in the guidelines around lift development are subject to future decision-making.” Any formal proposals from Marmot Basin would have to undergo an environmental assessment. There are growing concerns about commercialization in national parks. But Cardiff said guidelines agreed to by Parks Canada and the resort are simply possibilities. Stephen Woodley, a former Parks Canada chief scientist, said Schmiegelow’s research should be The county then enforced its bylaw and said Eli had to be gone by August. Kropp says Eli is going to share a good home with a fellow pig named Sparky, who at one time was featured on Telus television ads. “Eli and Sparky get to live in the house,” Kropp said. “The family has their granddaughter living with them, so the children element is still there for Eli. “This family’s had pot-bellied pigs for at least 10 years, so they have plenty of experience.” She says Eli’s new owners also understand that the Kropps would like to have their pet back if Strathcona County changes its animal control bylaw. It’s up for review this fall.

Woodley was also critical of a similar agreement between Parks Canada and the Lake Louise ski area in Banff National Park.

“Caribou are in free fall throughout the mountain parks,” he said. “We can’t just keep chipping away. “You have to take a big picture and Fiona’s study does that.”

University of Alberta’s board of governors says he is stepping down at the end of August. Doug Goss says he has fulfilled one of his job’s most important roles by finding David Turpin, who recently became the university’s new president. Goss made headlines during the spring provincial election campaign

when he and four other business leaders held a news conference urging voters not to cast their ballots for the NDP. They argued the NDP’s plan to raise corporate taxes, which Premier Rachel Notley implemented not long after her party took power and ended a 43-year Tory dynasty, would result in people losing jobs.

The Rachel Notley effect BY ROBERT MCGARVEY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE It’s not only Alberta that’s been knocked off stride by Rachel Notley’s electoral victory. The federal election is suddenly trending in new directions. The federal NDP was trailing Justin Trudeau’s Liberals until that fateful day in May, and its change in fortunes is almost entirely due to the earthquake in Alberta. There is a mysterious force that surrounds political leadership, an indefinable quality of charisma that separates great politicians from the also-rans. Often called ‘Royal Jelly,’ it’s practically invisible beforehand, but once the lights begin to shine on it, a wavelike magnifying effect takes place. Pierre Trudeau had it; so did Peter Lougheed. Michael Ignatieff — who has been described as the best prime minster we never had — certainly did not. Rachel Notley has it, even though she leads a rookie government with the shortest bench in the history of Alberta politics. Her caucus resembles a university glee club more than a political machine and yet she seems to be walking on air, hardly putting a foot

wrong. When this dynamic woman walks into a room, it brightens and conversations stop. Truth is, political power has transformed this former radical into a statesperson of rare quality. She embodies a political magnetism that has already changed Alberta and could (likely will) alter the outcome of the next federal election. With Notley in the picture, the youthful New Democratic Party all of a sudden looks like the wave of the future. The very fact of Notley’s energetic maturity makes an older generation of male politicians tremble. Just ask Jim Prentice. He had solid momentum going into the Alberta provincial election. He was popular and like many of his generation, he was proud of his decades of experience. But frankly, Notley easily made him look out of touch and condescending. And as Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall discovered last week, Notley is not only unimpressed with traditional ‘experience’ but is able to challenge older priorities and assumptions with ease. In a Notley flash, the Alberta cliché is history. This province, which was disdainful of the rest of Canada and for decades attempted to protect

itself from the dull, socialistic rest-ofCanada, has done a 180. Unbelievably, Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard congratulated Notley for her “wisdom and leadership” while British Columbia Premier Christy Clark praised her “vigorous discussion,” during unprecedented meetings to hammer out a National Energy Strategy. The contrast could not be greater; for an older generation of Alberta politicians the idea of ‘national’ and ‘energy strategy’ appearing in the same sentence was anathema. Notley is challenging these traditional assumptions and putting Alberta back at the centre of Canadian life; her political style is a welcome breath of fresh air. Notley is proving it’s no longer political suicide to advance an environmental agenda in this country. And, despite the fact she’s raising corporate taxes, the public and — ironically — the oil and gas industry look forward to working with her. They say a week is a long time in politics. Well, three months can change the political landscape profoundly. But Prime Minister Stephen Harper should not underestimate the Notley effect and would be wise to change tack as he launches his campaign for the October federal election because his agenda is

old school. It’s Canada as an oilsandsdominated ‘energy powerhouse’ with pipelines at the heart of its economic development strategy. But this strategy reduces Canada to a dig-and-deliver primary producer and, as popular as it was before, it clearly does not suit the temperament of Canada’s youth, who want much more. The Notley effect may, at this point, play mostly behind the scenes, but it will elevate the debate over policy direction. Those thorny issues of economic diversification, environmental stewardship and corporate social responsibility are now out of the political closet. The Conservative Party slogan for re-election is “We’re better off with Harper.” But with a new political wind blowing in from the West, the winning slogan could well turn out to be “We’re better — off with Harper.” Robert McGarvey is an economic historian and co-founder of the Genuine Wealth Institute, an Alberta-based think tank dedicated to helping businesses, communities and nations build communities of wellbeing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We must find political middle ground The pendulum may have swung too far to the right and now appears preparing to reverse course. Will it swing too far to the left and, if so, how far and for how long? In Alberta, the pendulum swung right and held there for 44 years, before swinging centre-left and electing an NDP government. In Newfoundland Labrador, the pendulum is right but by all indications will be swinging towards centre and left this November . If that is the case, there will then be no provincial pendulums swinging to the right. The federal pendulum has been on the right for nine years, and by all indications is swinging back to centre, left, and possibly extreme left. It is understandable. Nine years ago the right told us as they are doing today, that we are not in recession, while every indicator, economist and businessman, knew we were and knows we are in a recession. Balanced budgets were promised, as they are emphatically promising now, but record deficits were delivered, before delivering a highly questionable balanced budget. Small government was promised and yet one of the largest governments in Canadian history was created. Another 6,000 jobs were lost in May, interest rates are expected to be cut to save an ailing economy, trade deficits are up, unemployment is up, bankruptcies are up even among seniors, and our sense of identity is being downgraded. The lustre of the right has somewhat diminished. The Supreme Court does not trust this government as the request for files on the long-gun registry showed. The United Nations does not think highly of this government on environmental issues like tailings ponds. The president of the United States has derided this government over its lack of environmental stewardship. The light on the right has dimmed in a very pronounced manner. In the minds of many, ‘the right’ has connotations of all the negative aspects of politics and life. Anger, fear, greed, power, hatred, narcissism, loss of freedom, loss of privacy, and voter suppression, are just some of words associated with the right. ‘The left’ has connotations of negative aspects like socialism, tree-hugger, economy destroying hippie, but they seem rather timid after nine years on the right. Experience continue to show that extreme rightwing policies are fatal to our economy and it appears that Canadians want to distance themselves from that much-disdained right as soon as and as far as possible. Going too far, too fast could also be of poor judgment. Promises made and what is actually delivered is often never the same thing, especially when it involves politicians. The right-swinging pendulum made promises of transparencies, accountability, decentralizing of power, balanced budgets, Senate reform, elimination of the sense of entitlement. All were quickly abandoned as bunker mentality and protectionism became the strategy. The left-swinging pendulum will promise the much of the same and more. But what guarantees do we have of any change? Will the bunker mentality just move over to the extreme left or will it be blocked? The status quo is very much unacceptable. Not too long ago, the right may have been accepted with a new face on it, but that time is long gone, so change is inevitable and it is only the extent of change that remains to be seen. How can we moderate the swinging of the pendulum, how do we moderate the actions of politicians?

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Mary Kemmis Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Wendy Moore Advertising sales manager

We need to believe in something, and since we have lost faith in the right, we will instinctively look to the centre and left. I predict that after the elections, federally in October and in Newfoundland Labrador in November, that all governments in Canada will be centre, centre-left and possibly left swinging. If we can keep the governments from going to the extreme left, and have them moderate their actions then perhaps we can keep the pendulum from swinging to extremes. We must stop the pendulum from swinging too far. Garfield Marks Red Deer

Conservatives create, NDP destroy In contravention to the protestation of our prolific local political letter writer Garfield Marks, who campaigns so very well for the future of mini-Pierre, I would be in fear of the success of those consequences. It is my contention that this fall our choice lies with only two options, with ‘mini’ qualifying to protect only the rear. In Alberta, we made a choice. In our quest to distance our entitled leadership, we placed our trust in an unknown entity. Perhaps the NDP is merely untested. To this point, world events affecting our economy have not shown favour to this leadership’s social agenda. Should this government succeed in their policies, the left element will have a well-deserved parade. If their projection does not produce the expected harvest, the right in our society will remain to sweep up the embers. We linger with few choices, but to support our leadership and make our objections heard when those policies differ from good governance. I know a bit about leadership, but not as much about government. Perhaps these two terms need no association in our race to the bottom. Big business and big government stand so firmly rooted together that separating the two may not be possible. Most of us lean left or right with an opposite view of our position regarding personal responsibility. I was born penniless but lean right with the belief that I was the only person responsible for my life and my future. As such, I offer a satirical analysis of the development of leadership left and right. For us who don’t know much about Canada’s political history here is an abbreviated account: Early humanoids existed as allies in small groups of nomadic itinerants. They have only managed to

survive on the wild animals or go fishing in the ocean. There were two most significant events in all of history that determined their future. These were the discovery of alcohol and the invention of wheeled transportation. The wheel was invented to enable man to get access to his beverage. This formed the foundation of contemporary evolution and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups. When beer became a favourite, it required barley, and that was the beginning of agronomy. Neither the bottle nor can had been invented, so while our early Canadians sat around waiting until these containers became conceived, they just stayed close to the fire. That is how settlements grew. Men would spend their days stalking and harvesting animals. After sundown, they would barbecue their catch while they were drinking beer. Thus the foundation of what became recognized as the Conservative relationship, with each person responsible to bring something to cook. However, not all men liked hunting, and those who were more frail and not as skilled at hunting learned to live off what the Conservatives produced. They were showing up nightly at the barbecues and felt entitled to share a meal without the responsibility of providing much. The NDP movement came into being by this method. Some of these NDP members eventually evolved into economy wreckers. The rest liked being addressed as tree huggers. Some noteworthy NDP became occupied with the concept of socialist voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that Conservatives provided. Conservatives invest in businesses that hired other progressives who want to work for a living. They provide for their families, work and pay their taxes. This group converted the wild country into the pleasant atmosphere we enjoy today. The NDP is not much interested in producing anything; they like to oversee the producers and decide what to do with they contribute. The NDP rested in Europe while the Conservatives laboured in Canada. They crept in after this country was tamed and prepared a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Rights groups launch constitutional challenge BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BILL C-51

OTTAWA — New powers for Canada’s spy agency are unconstitutional and represent an extraordinary reversal of the traditional role of the judiciary, two national groups say in a newly filed legal challenge of the Conservative government’s omnibus security bill. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Canadian Journalists for Free Expression are asking Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice to hear their constitutional case against the federal anti-terrorism measures, commonly known as Bill C-51. The legislation, which recently received royal assent, gives the Canadian Security Intelligence Service more power to thwart suspected terrorist plots — going well beyond its long-standing informationgathering role. The legislation also creates a new offence of promoting the commission of terrorist offences and broadens the government’s no-fly list powers. In addition, it greatly expands the sharing of federally held information about activity that “undermines the security of Canada.” In a joint statement, the two organizations challenging the law said Tuesday that key elements violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

“in a manner that is not justified in a free and democratic society.” The Conservatives brought in the bill to fight homegrown extremism after two Canadian soldiers were murdered last October just days apart by lone, jihad-inspired killers. The government and its senior officials have consistently defended the legislation as constitutional. “This bill is crafted with very reasonable measures,” Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said Tuesday in Vancouver. “I leave it to the court to make their own view and analysis of the bill. We’re pretty confident that this bill is there for the right reason, to protect Canadians, and that it will stand any challenge that it could face.” Civil libertarians and privacy advocates have strongly opposed giving CSIS the power to derail suspected plots — for instance, by meddling with computers, cancelling airline reservations or carrying out even riskier operations. With its new mandate, CSIS needs “reasonable grounds to believe” there is a security threat before taking measures to disrupt it. The spy agency would require a court warrant

whenever proposed disruption measures violate the Charter of Rights or otherwise breach Canadian law. The notice of application in the court challenge says the measures amount to “an extraordinary inversion” of the time-honoured role of the courts and the principles of fundamental justice by asking the judiciary, and not Parliament, to authorize limits on charter rights “as opposed to protecting such rights and preventing their violation.” The legal challenge objects to someone being added to the no-fly list “on mere suspicion” he or she might commit an act that threatens an airplane. “Once placed on the no-fly list, it is very difficult for the individual to remove their name from the list,” the court filing says. “There is no due process, no fundamental justice, and no natural justice under the scheme.” The application also says the concept of activity that “undermines the security of Canada” is unconstitutionally vague and leaves a person in the dark as to whether information about — or related to them — has even been shared. In addition, the provision outlawing promotion of terrorist offences has “a chilling effect on freedom of expression and association” and encourages people to remain silent “rather than risk the perils of prosecution,” the application charges.

Canadian spies might blow our efforts abroad: RCMP BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The RCMP is concerned new antiterrorism legislation might hurt — not help — its security efforts overseas, internal notes say. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s new powers to disrupt threats “could inadvertently jeopardize existing relationships” the Mounties have fostered if authorities discover what CSIS is doing, RCMP briefing notes warn. There will be additional pressure on the Mounties to co-ordinate with the spy service so that criminal investigations are not “negatively affected,” add the notes, prepared for RCMP deputy commissioner Mike Cabana’s appearance at a Senate committee. The Canadian Press used the Access to Information Act to obtain the detailed documents, drafted in advance of Cabana’s April 20 testimony on the government’s sweeping security bill, known as C-51. The bill, which has since become law, explicitly empowers CSIS to thwart security threats — going well beyond its traditional information-gathering role — by meddling with extremist websites, diverting illicit shipments or engaging in myriad other schemes. The newly disclosed notes underscore the need for a federal security czar to oversee and direct the anti-terrorism activities of Canadian agencies that might otherwise trip over one another, said University of Ottawa law professor Craig Forcese. “What we’ve done with C-51 is we’ve enhanced the prospect of traffic collisions and road carnage without putting in place the traffic-light system.”

‘WHAT WE’VE DONE WITH C-51 IS WE’VE ENHANCED THE PROSPECT OF TRAFFIC COLLISIONS AND ROAD CARNAGE WITHOUT PUTTING IN PLACE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEMS’ — CRAIG FORCESE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA LAW PROFESSOR

National security investigations, especially ones with international dimensions, are complex and challenging for all parties, said CSIS spokeswoman Tahera Mufti. “The Service has always understood, respected and supported the distinct but complementary mandates of our various partners, and is working closely with the RCMP on this aspect of our relationship.” The Mounties have liaison officers in Turkey, Kenya and Pakistan — among other places — pursuing criminal investigations of Canadians who have travelled to take part in terrorist activities in Afghanistan, Somalia and Syria, the internal notes point out. “The RCMP, with significant relationships with international law enforcement agencies abroad, is concerned that CSIS threat-diminishment activities in a foreign country, if detected by the authorities, could inadvertently jeopardize existing relationships on particular investigations.” CSIS and the RCMP have a history of turf wars and limited communication, given their common interests — but different mandates — and the spy service’s long-standing concerns about secret intel-

BRIEF Housakos fires public salvo at Public Works over relocation battle OTTAWA — The Senate’s Speaker is firing back at reports painting the upper chamber as wild spenders in the hunt for office space and in work on their temporary home. Leo Housakos says in an open letter that the Senate hasn’t declined any option for office space because it is still waiting for Public Works to come up with revamped proposals. Housakos also says that moving the Senate chamber to the government conference centre remains the right decision, even though its crumbling infrastructure has led to cost overruns. He says that any decisions the Senate makes will try to minimize the effects on the public purse.

Man suspected of ramming police cars charged Police have laid a dozen charges against a 24-year-old man in the ramming of police cars in front of Winnipeg headquarters. The charges against Wayne Daniel Rennie include dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, mischief and two counts of assaulting a police officer with a weapon. Police allege Rennie was displeased with a cellphone ticket he’d been given on Monday morning and deliberately drove into the cars with his moving truck before fleeing. They say he swerved into oncoming traffic on a highway outside city limits and drove towards a car with two Winnipeg police officers inside.

ligence being introduced in open court proceedings. In recent years the agencies have worked under what they call “de-confliction protocols” that allow them to conduct separate investigations of the same target. Sgt. Harold Pfleiderer, an RCMP spokesman, said the national police force is confident its “strong and co-operative” relationship with CSIS will allow the spy service to investigate threats outside Canada without “negatively impacting” RCMP efforts. “The RCMP and CSIS are in the process of strengthening protocols to ensure the continuing ability to maintain separate and distinct investigations and intelligence collection on parallel tracks.” CSIS and the RCMP work together while maintaining “an appropriate degree of separation between the two agencies,” said Jeremy Laurin, a spokesman for Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney. The internal RCMP notes say CSIS’s new mandate will mean revising the Mounties’ national securityrelated training courses. “For certain, there will be additional pressure on the RCMP to de-conflict with CSIS in a timely manner to ensure that criminal investigations are not negatively affected — for instance through inadvertent interference with the chain of evidence or preventing the ability to lay criminal charges.” The notes suggest that, in the end, the Mounties will chart their own course regardless of what the spies do. The RCMP has a “robust range of disruption tools” and continues to develop its own ability to diminish threats in light of rapidly evolving changes, the notes say.

Hard times for Canada’s railways CANADA’S TWO LARGEST RAILWAYS REPORT JOB CUTS AS FALLING SHIPMENTS TAKE TOLL BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Canada’s two largest railways are reporting job cuts of up to 900 people as falling shipments of oil, grain and coal take a toll on their industry. Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. (TSX:CP) said Tuesday it plans to slash 200 to 300 jobs later this year as the sector faces lower than expected freight volumes. “If business goes down and demand reduces, then obviously head count is going to go down in lockstep with it,” president and chief operating officer Keith Creel told investors in a conference call. CP’s planned job cuts come a day after Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) announced it had cut 600 jobs so far this year and has implemented a hiring freeze. CN, which had about 25,000 employees at the end of last month, says it expects to recall many of those laid off by the middle of next year. CP’s latest cuts would be on top of the roughly 700 jobs it has eliminated in the past year, leaving the company with 14,100 employees. The job losses were announced as the railway reported second-quarter results that saw its revenue tick lower to $1.65 billion compared with $1.68 billion in the same period last year. CEO Hunter Harrison didn’t participate in Tuesday’s conference call with investors because he was recovering from a medical procedure, but in a statement he said CP is efficient and can respond to an

Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. is planning more job cuts as the company faces lower than expected freight volumes and earnings. evolving economy. “Even in the face of this economic slowdown, CP’s commitment to providing the best service at the lowest cost will continue to serve us well moving forward,” Harrison said. In its outlook, CP said it expects to see two to three per cent revenue growth this year, down from

April expectations of seven to eight per cent. It also revised its annual adjusted diluted earnings per share to total $10 to $10.40, down from an expected $10.63 or more at the end of the last quarter. The railway said it earned $390 million or $2.36 per diluted share in the quarter that ended June 30, up from $371 million or $2.11 per diluted share a year ago. On an adjusted basis, the railway says its earnings per share were up 16 per cent at $2.45, while its operating ratio — which tracks operating costs as a percentage of revenue — improved to 60.9 per cent. CP maintained its expectation that its operating ratio would be below 62 per cent. Creel also said Tuesday that chairman Gary Colter and director Krystyna Hoeg resigned from the board over “disagreements relating to corporate governance matters,” but declined to provide further details. Andrew Reardon was unanimously elected chairman of CP’s board of directors. In May, the Superior Court of Quebec approved a class-action lawsuit against CP by residents of LacMegantic over the train disaster that killed 47 people in July 2013. CP said Tuesday it was too early to determine any potential liability or losses and reiterated that it is not liable for the tragedy. CP also lost a court challenge last week of a $430-million settlement fund proposal for more than 4,000 victims and creditors in connection with the derailment and explosion. The company wanted the settlement ruled unfair because it would limit CP’s ability to sue other firms involved. It has said it would review the ruling.

ECONOMY

Quantitative easing ‘not on the table’ says Oliver BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Finance Minister Joe Oliver says he doesn’t see any need for quantitative easing, despite concerns that the country may have fallen into a recession. “We don’t see any need for quantitative easing in this environment,” Oliver said Tuesday at Ryerson University in Toronto, where he was promoting an expanded free trade agreement with Israel. “I mean, after all, we’ve seen 90,000 jobs created this year, and we look forward to a positive year of growth. Quantitative easing is not on the table.” Some experts have wondered about the possibility of quantitative easing after the Bank of Canada cut its key interest rate last Wednesday by a quarter of a percentage point to 0.5 per cent. Quantitative easing is a monetary policy that would see the Bank of Canada purchase government securities or other securities in an effort to increase the supply of money and stimulate the economy. Other areas of the world have used the measure when they have fallen on hard times. The European Central Bank has been buying 60 billion euros a month in government and corporate bonds, and the U.S. Federal Reserve implemented a $85 billion a month bond-buying program to kick-start its economy before ending the program late last year. The debate over quantitative easing has sparked controversy in the past. Oliver’s predecessor drew criticism in October 2013, when former finance minister Jim Flaherty described the American policy as “the printing of money” and said he never supported it. That was despite appearing to back the Federal Reserve’s decision in 2010. Flaherty also signed off on a similar policy in 2009 during the height of the financial crisis, although it was never implemented. In reducing its overnight rate last week, the central bank also predicted a contraction in the second quarter due to lower oil prices and slumping exports — which, if true, would mean that the country fell into a technical recession, though Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz hasn’t used the r-word.

BlackBerry cuts jobs, shifts employees as part of turnaround plan

PROBLEMS FOUND AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS

TORONTO — Another round of jobs cuts has been levelled on staff at BlackBerry Ltd. as it deals with weak smartphone sales and pushes ahead with a turnaround plan. The Waterloo, Ont.-based company declined on Tuesday to disclose how many employees were affected in the latest changes, but said that some were shifted to different roles while others were laid off. It said the move is part of a plan to reallocate certain resources to help grow its operations. BlackBerry has shed thousands of jobs since it began restructuring operations under chief executive John Chen, who has focused on shifting the company’s priorities since he joined in November 2013. At the peak of success, BlackBerry had about 20,000 employees across the world, but its failure to innovate against some formidable competitors, including Apple and Samsung, left the company slashing its operations in an effort to contain costs. In its most recent annual filings, BlackBerry (TSX:BB) said it had 6,225 full-time global employees as of Feb. 28.

On July 10, the Red Deer team visited 10 drinking establishments to ensure licensing and safety standards were being met. The team focuses on over-serving of alcohol, serving of underage patrons, fire code violations and occupancy limits. However, during the recent visit licences and safety concerns were at the forefront. According to a news release from the Red Deer RCMP, the team found one business licence was expired, one business was warned about a licensing issue, several establishments received warnings for Gaming and Liquor Act offences, one food truck was temporarily closed and Alberta Health Services is-

Red Deer Emergency Services personnel were especially concerned with safety concerns relating to kitchens where a required exit was obstructed. Charges are pending against one business. Business owners are reminded to ensure all required exits are kept clear of obstructions and clearly visible at all times. As well, fire suppression systems over cooking appliances should be maintained on a semi-annual basis, and ducts should be cleaned by a qualified person. The Public Safety Compliance Team was formed in 2013 to address concerns related to drinking establishments in Red Deer. It is a partnership between the Red Deer RCMP, Red Deer Emergency Services, Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission Red Deer Branch, City of Red Deer Inspections and Licensing and Alberta Health Services.

The value of business culture tant, 50 per cent very important). At the same time, 60 per cent indicated that they were not ready and capable of changing at this time. It’s clear that many companies recognize that in order to become more competitive, they must adopt more innovative methods of energizing and engaging employees. Growth plans and business strategies are not sustainable without a strong framework of cultural values and the “rules of the game”. Culture guides discretionary behavior, picking up where the employee handbook leaves off. It incorporates every individual’s personal values and beliefs plus shared experiences. If there is no stated culture, everyone brings their own. An internal culture of compromised values and lack of accountability always over-shadows progressive business planning. Business owners and managers that overlook or ignore this fact will be frustrated when staff resist change and hesitate to implement new ideas. There is a lot of lip service regarding organizational culture, but often a discrepancy between how culture is expressed and the way it is managed. Nothing discourages a team more than an attitude of “do as I say, not as I do”. Improving the culture in a business means changing the collective habits of all employees. Not an easy thing to do. It requires credible goodwill and persistence on the part of the owners, managers and employees.

The workplace culture in small to medium-sized enterprises often reflect the values and management style of the business owner. Owners/managers are accountable and must role model the culture they envision. To improve or change the culture takes conscious effort and patience. A formal culture statement should be developed by you and your team, which takes time and resources to develop and implement. Additional resources are necessary to train employees to the desired standards to ensure changes are made. Nothing can be left to interpretation. There are three main areas to consider: core values that the business owner believe are most important; the areas that employees feel affect them personally; the critical points that directly relate to clients and the success of the business. Points of culture only go as far as employees are willing to invest in it. Organizational “norms” must be standards that define acceptable behaviours, dictate how things get done and state how problems are to be uniformly dealt with. If your company has an expressed culture statement, be prepared to live up to the declared values. A business that aligns their goals with a company’s culture will achieve superior performance over the long run. A culture statement is a living document. Knowing how and when to bring your team together predicts how they will offer and support new strategies. As the economy improves, it may

Derek Jouppi of Suncayr, left, and his teammates Andrew Martinko, Peter Mucha, Chad Sweeting, and Rachel Pautler show off their product in Waterloo on Thursday, March 26, 2015. Suncayr develops UV-responsive marker ink that tells you when to reapply sunscreen. They drafted several ideas including a skin patch that changed colour in the sun. Quickly they decided wearing a sticker that looked similar to a nicotine patch wasn’t ideal. “A skin patch is kind of gross, so (we decided), ’Let’s make something you would actually like to use,”’ Pautler said. The team, which includes fellow founders Chad Sweeting, Andrew Martinko, Hayden Soboleski, Rachel Pautler and Derek Jouppi, narrowed the application down to ink. The appeal, they say, is that drawing on your skin can be fun. Parents can make it a game with their children, rather than just another step in preparation for the beach, they thought. Early tests have shown the creators that parents generally agree, they said. Last year, the group began pitching Suncayr on the beaches of southern Ontario by asking families about their experiences with the sun and handing out freezies to their kids in return. Throughout the winter they put their findings to work in university labs and submitted the chemical components to Canadian regulators. They’re now waiting for the green light from Health Canada before they can launch Sun-

cayr online. Pautler says the money raised through presales will go towards the first manufacturing run with plans to send the product to customers early next year. By summer 2016, Pautler expects Suncayr will be on shelves in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Several local stores have already signed on, she says, which bodes well for a broader expansion across Ontario throughout next year. Suncayr will focus mainly on selling to parents with children between the ages of three and 10, but the founders expect to take the idea to a broader customer base, particularly in sunny areas of the United States.

TORONTO — Cheating spouses who fear their secret online liaisons could be revealed in the Ashley Madison data breach faced a tough lesson this week about flirting with danger on the Internet. But experts say getting people to change their wicked ways won’t necessarily be as simple as threatening to divulge past indiscretions. Whether it’s a steamy conversation on Facebook with a high-school flame or a random encounter at the bar, adultery is hardly a new phenomenon. “People have been having extramarital affairs for long before the Internet facilitated those liaisons,” said Matthew Johnson, a relationship specialist in human ecology at the University of Alberta. “Infidelity is not going to stop because people are all of the sudden scared their personal information is going to leak on a website.” Still, questions about the fallout of the breach linger as Toronto-based website AshleyMadison.com reels from a cyberattack where hackers stole confidential details about its cheating customers and threatened to post them online. A small amount of that information was briefly released by hackers before Ashley Madison executives had it pulled off search engines using the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the company said. This certainly isn’t the first time data has been stolen in recent years. Government websites have temporarily shut down to prevent hackers from stealing information, while companies like Sony and Target Corp. have taken major financial hits from massive customer and employee data breaches.

WATERLOO, Ont. — Even when Rachel Pautler slathered on handfuls of sunscreen she still got burnt at the beach. Being fair-skinned certainly has its setbacks in the summertime but Pautler wasn’t going to settle for the shade. “I’m really vigilant about sunscreen, but I still find myself being sunburnt,” said the co-founder and CEO of Suncayr, based in Waterloo, Ont. “It’s a real pain point.” So Pautler and her team created a UV-sensitive marker you apply before your sunscreen. The ink goes on your skin clear but when the marking changes to purple, that means it’s time to reapply protection. As they see it, Suncayr is useful for anyone who loves the sun, but especially for parents trying to keep tabs on the sensitive skin of their children. Burns are one of the seemingly inevitable dangers of summer and maintaining the right amount of sunscreen is a guessing game. While several companies have launched products to monitor UV exposure, generally the results have been mixed. French company Netatmo is selling a bracelet called June that measures UV rays through a faux jewel, which sends the data to a phone app. It sells for US$130 online. Others have tried simpler versions of a UV wristband that leave a tan line and don’t necessarily provide an accurate measurement of your skin’s protection. Some parents have settled for a more basic UV sticker applied directly to skin, but when their kids wade into water, it can fall off. Suncayr thinks their marker has the potential to appeal to a broader market than any of these other ideas. After nearly two years of work, the company says it is in the process of taking the idea to the masses, applying for the necessary approvals from Health Canada and preparing for a presale launch online in September. It would be a fast rise for a startup that began in a classroom at the University of Waterloo in 2013. Pautler and several engineering classmates were assigned to invent a technology that solved a problem in their daily lives, part of a major class project for their final year. After much brainstorming, the group decided to tackle the frustration of accidentally taking their tan too far.

become more challenging to find good people. An organization’s culture plays an important role in attracting and keeping top talent. Statistics prove that an inclusive workplace culture boosts morale, and achieves higher productivity and performance. Introduce team rituals and traditions that celebrate successes. Reward results and performance for those that comply with the newly defined culture. Remember, the people you hire represent your company even outside of work. It’s critical to recognize that mismatched team members will cost your business dearly. Job performance and chronic absenteeism are strong indicators that you must take action. It could be just a matter of additional training or coaching. Ignoring the problem only means lost time and money. Compliance with company culture must be the basis for promotion and dismissal of employees. Keeping low performing, mismatched employees will cost your business more than replacing them.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto Stock Exchange closed lower for the third straight session on Tuesday as investors direct their attention back to the fundamentals of the Canadian market. The S&P/TSX composite index lost 49.31 points to close at 14,376.24 after starting the day in the black. Allan Small, senior investment adviser at Holliswealth, said the markets had been positive following the resolution of the latest outbreak in the Greek debt crisis as well as last week’s rate cut from the Bank of Canada. With those headline-grabbing developments out of the way, he said, investors are turning back to look at the realities of the market and aren’t liking what they see. “We had our rally, and now we’re concentrating on other areas of the market,” he said. “And right now in Canada those other areas are struggling.” In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 181.12 points to 17,919.29, while the Nasdaq fell 10.74 points to 5,208.12. The S&P 500 lost 9.07 points to close at 2,119.21. The Canadian dollar was up 0.29 of a cent to 77.23 cents US. Small said the increase was the result of day-to-day volatility rather than any sign that the sliding loonie had reached bottom. “The direction of our dollar is definitely down,” he said. “I’d be surprised if we see a big run-up in the dollar now.” The Canadian dollar could fall even further against the greenback, Small said, and will remain weak for the near future as Canada looks to grow. “How long it will stay that way remains to be seen,” he said. “I think it’s dependent on how long it takes our economy

to bounce back from a negative first half.” Economists and analysts have suggested that Canada is in a technical recession, defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth, although final second-quarter numbers have not been released. Small said the prospect of an interest-rate hike from the American central bank this fall is the biggest driver for the Canadian dollar’s value. “Our dollar is going to trade more on what the U.S. does than what we do here in our country,” he said. On the commodities markets, the September contract for crude oil closed up 42 cents to US$50.86, while the August contract for natural gas climbed 5.9 cents to US$2.882. The August contract for gold ended the day down US$3.50 to US$1,103.50 per ounce. Small noted that gold has become much less important as a safe-haven commodity as global markets have equalized following the volatility of the 2008 downturn, when gold’s value spiked. “I really don’t see a catalyst for gold to go any higher,” Small said. The September contract for copper closed at US$2.47, down 0.7 of a US cent. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Highlights at the close on Tuesday at world financial market trading.

Saskatchewan cattlemen want drought help BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Saskatchewan cattle producers are the latest group to call for government help to deal with a drought that has withered crops in parts of the Prairies. The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association has asked Ottawa for tax deferrals for those forced to sell cattle due to dry conditions. President Doug Gillespie says hay yields in some parts of Saskatchewan are as much as 70 per cent below normal. Producers may be forced to sell part of their breeding herds because they don’t have enough to feed them. Gillespie said the Saskatchewan government has helped by opening up more Crown land for grazing and by changing some crop insurance rules. The federal government could help as well, he suggested. “We believe that implementing the livestock tax deferral provision will help ease the financial pain for producers that are selling into a depressed market for bred cows.” Things are also bad in Alberta, where counties have been declaring a state of agricultural disaster. On Tuesday, Leduc and Cypress joined Sturgeon, McKenzie and Parkland counties in seeking government help for ruined crops. The drought in Alberta is affecting cereal and oilseeds crops and hay for livestock. Leduc Mayor John Whaley said producers are dealing with extremely low soil moisture and in some cases with grasshopper infestations. “By making this declaration, we are focusing attention on this issue and are encouraging other levels of government to provide support where possible,” he said in a release.

Government help could include reduced rental rates for dugout water pumping, drought disaster loan programs and federal livestock tax deferrals, he suggested. Alberta Agriculture Minister Oneil Carlier said much of any financial help would come through insurance, so farmers and ranchers should consult their coverage providers. He said he has instructed the province’s Agriculture Financial Services Corp. to be ready with extra staff to deal with an expected spike in claims. “It’s still too early to tell if anything else needs to be done. There has been some scattered moisture throughout the province,” Carlier said. “The programs in place with AFSC and with the federal government are there and available when needed.” Recent rain could actually serve to complicate the harvest. Harry Brook, a crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture, told the Red Deer Advocate that the precipitation will spur fresh growth in fields from seeds that have been dormant in dry soil. “You’re going to have crop that’s mature and ripe. Then you’re going to have this stuff that’s as green as grass,” Brook said. “Trying to harvest it is going to make it difficult because it invites a storage problem. You have quality issues as well.” Carlier said he doesn’t foresee a need to declare a provincewide state of agricultural emergency yet. “It’s hard to believe, talking to the ones that are hardest hit, that there are counties and districts that are doing OK — at least close to normal, maybe a little below normal, but are doing all right. They’ve had the moisture. It’s a little bit spotty.” — With files from CHQR, Red Deer Advocate

Microsoft books $8.4 billion write-down on phones BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Microsoft booked an $8.4 billion charge in the fourth quarter, swallowing a bitter pill by writing off the Nokia phone business it bought just over a year ago. It narrowly beat analysts’ depressed expectations for a quarter that also saw a steep decline in personal computer sales even as it prepares to launch its latest operating system, Windows 10. The Redmond, Washingtonbased software giant posted a net loss of $3.20 billion, or 40 cents per share, reversing a profit of $4.61 billion, or 55 cents per share, a year ago. Adjusted to exclude the charges, the company posted a quarterly profit of 62 cents per share, beating the average estimate of 15 analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research of 31 cents per

share. The write-down was expected after CEO Satya Nadella announced 7,800 job cuts two weeks ago. The company will continue to make phones on a smaller scale, paring down its lowercost offerings. Nadella told analysts on a conference call he’d like Windows phones to be more targeted at highend businesses and their employees, much like its Surface tablet, which saw upbeat sales. “We have a formula there that I would like to apply more broadly,” Nadella said. The difficult quarter comes ahead of the launch of Windows 10 on July 29, a free upgrade for users of Windows 7 or 8 for the next year. The company hopes that better integrating its store into the revamped Start button and powering more Internet searches through Bing will compensate for the temporary dip.

Canada has solid day on the track PAN AM GAMES BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A threadbare Canadian track and field team came home with just four medals at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Canada’s athletes have already more than doubled that modest total after just one full day at the track in Toronto. The host nation picked up eight medals in athletics, including four gold, in Tuesday’s competition at the 2015 Pan Am Games. With gold and silver from Sunday’s 20-kilometre race walk, Canada leads all nations in athletics with five gold medals and is tied with the United States at 10 medals overall. Toronto’s Shawnacy Barber and Vancouver’s Elizabeth Gleadle set the tone early with a gold medal each. Barber equalled a Pan Am record, clearing 5.80 metres to win gold in men’s pole vault and Gleadle won gold in women’s javelin with a throw of 62.83 metres on her sixth and final attempt. “I’m having a really phenomenal year for me, I’m hitting the marks that I dreamed of,” Barber said. Gleadle was trailing American Kara Winger when she stepped up to take her final javelin throw, clapping her hands to get the crowd going. “I was thinking ’Oh no, I’d better get it together,”’ Gleadle said. “I was standing there and I thought to myself ’I bet the Canadian anthem would sound a whole lot better from the podium if I was on it,’ so that inspired me to throw better.” Canada earned more medals in evening competition, with Matt Hughes winning gold and Alex Genest taking silver in the men’s 3,000-metre steeplechase and Mohammed Ahmed wining the men’s 10,000 metres. Hughes, form Oshawa, Ont., finished the steeplechase in eight minutes 32.18 seconds with Genest, from Shawinigan, Que., right behind in 8:33.83. Cory Leslie of the U.S. won bronze. “It was about competing for the fans that paid good money to come watch us race, and family and friends, and you don’t get many opportunities to compete on a stage like this,” Hughes said. “Toronto is like home for me as well, so winning in front of your family and friends is something you don’t get to do very often. “I probably will never run a major

Dodd finished in first place. championships in Canada ever again, because there will probably never be one in my career.” Hughes pulled away from the pack with three laps to go. “I made a similar move in the national championships a few weeks ago, so I was confident in that move,” he said. “I was hoping that Alex knew when I was going to go.” Ahmed, from St. Catharines, Ont., won the 10,000 in 29:49.96, ahead of American Aron Rono (28:50.83) and Mexico’s Juan Luis Barrios (28:51.57). Tim Nedow from Brockville, Ont., earned silver in the men’s shot put with a throw of 20.53 metres. Jamaica’s O’Dayne Richards won gold with a throw of 21.69 metres, breaking the Pan Am record previously held by Canada’s Dylan Armstrong. “I’ve been throwing 20.50 all year, so there was no excuse not to throw it here, so I am glad I did that,” Nedow said. Sultana Frizell of Perth, Ont., took bronze in the women’s hammer throw

with a toss of 69.51 metres, while Toronto’s Nikkita Holder won bronze in the women’s 100 hurdles in 12.85 seconds. Canada ended Tuesday with 59 gold, 53 silver and 48 bronze. The host nation has won at least one gold in each day of medal competition. The United States leads with 69 gold and 183 total medals. Brazil is third with 32 gold and 110 medals. Sprinter Andre De Grasse will be looking to add to Canada’s medal haul. He ran 10.06 seconds in winning in his 100-metre heat to qualify for Wednesday’s semifinals. Elsewhere, Canada’s women’s and men’s table tennis teams each came away with a bronze medal. The men lost their semifinal match 3-0 to Brazil while the women fell 3-0 to the United States. Fencer Hugues Boisvert-Simard of Quebec City added bronze in the men’s epee. The men’s basketball team opened with a comfortable 105-88 win over the

Dominican Republic. Brady Heslip of Burlington, Ont., led Canada with 24 points. “He’s kind of becoming a guy that you can’t leave off of the team,” Canadian GM Steve Nash said of Heslip. “He just brings something to the table that is so valuable. Every time the level is raised, he finds a way to raise his game to that level. As you saw tonight, he was a special player. You don’t want to bet against a guy like Brady. He figures it out.” Montreal boxer Caroline Veyre advanced to the women’s lightweight final with a split decision win over Mirquin Sena of the Dominican Republic. Veyre will face Argentina’s Dayana Sanchez in the final on Saturday. Mandy Bujold will also get no less than a silver medal after she earned a split decision over Colombia’s Victoria Valencia in the semifinals of the women’s flyweight tournament. The defending Pan Am champion from Kitchener, Ont., will face American Marlen Esparza on Saturday.

Riggers use offence to take down White Sox BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Riggers 9 White Sox 2 Compared to their previous contest, the Red Deer Riggers were offensive juggernauts Tuesday evening at Great Chief Park. Two days after suffering a 4-0 semifinal loss in their own tournament, the Riggers rocked a trio of Parkland White Sox pitchers for 16 hits in a 9-2 Sunburst Baseball League win. The Riggers’ plate performance was in sharp contrast to their tournament semifinal loss Sunday, when they were limited to two hits by Edmonton Confederation Cubs pitcher Riley Moskaluk. “That guy (Moskaluk) threw well, he threw strikes,” said Riggers playing manager Curtis Bailey. “Tonight we were much more aggressive, with much better focus. The guys went up there with the idea they were going to hit the ball hard, and they did.” A handful of Riggers had a big night at the dish, with Jason Louis going four-for-five with a double and two RBI, Jason Chatwood stroking a triple and a single and driving in three runs, Kevin Curran collecting three hits in five trips and knocking in a pair of runs and Jason Chatwood going fourfor-five with a homer. Brad Michalski accounted for both Parkland scores with a fourth-inning,

two-run homer off Davin Gulbransen, who threw less than 100 pitches in a complete-game outing. “We had some very disciplined atbats, and probably the key for us was the pace of the game,” said Bailey, speaking less than two hours following the opening pitch. “Davin was very efficient and Josh Turner, a quick pitcher, started off well for them. That helped get us into the flow.” Turner suffered a groin injury and was replaced by Nathan Wedgewood, who was rocked for five runs in the fifth. Jarvis Greiner worked the final two innings on the Parkland mound. The Riggers are hopeful that Tuesday’s triumph can be a springboard to a strong finish to the Sunburst regularseason season and the ensuing playoffs. “There’s a big push ahead,” said Bailey. “We have three more league games left. It’s real important for us to get home-field advantage going into the playoffs with some momentum. “We can build on this game.” The Riggers face the first-place Athletics tonight at Sherwood Park, then travel to Spruce Grove Sunday to face the White Sox. “The game in Sherwood Park could go a long way toward deciding first place,” said Bailey, whose club will close out the regular season with a Tuesday meeting with the Cubs at Great Chief Park. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Blue Jays power hitters pace team to big win over Athletics BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blue Jays 7 Athletics 1 OAKLAND, Calif. — Russell Martin, Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion homered to power the Toronto Blue Jays past the Oakland Athletics 7-1 on Tuesday night. Martin hit a three-run shot to chase former Blue Jays right-hander Kendall Graveman (6-6) in the sixth. Bautista and Encarnacion each connected for a solo shot. Mark Buehrle (11-5) allowed one run and eight hits in seven innings. The left-hander struck out three and walked none as the Blue Jays improved to 3-1 since the All-Star break. Graveman came to the A’s in the off-season trade that brought All-Star third baseman Josh Donaldson to To-

ronto. Donaldson doubled twice and drove in a run in his first game back in Oakland. But Donaldson’s new teammates might have upstaged his return with their own power at the plate. Encarnacion hit his 19th homer leading off the second, and Bautista connected on the first pitch he saw in the sixth. Graveman then walked the next two batters before Martin hit a drive to left for his 13th homer. Bautista became the third player in franchise history to hit 20 home runs in at least six straight seasons, joining Joe Carter (seven) and Carlos Delgado (nine). Graveman, who made five relief appearances with Toronto last September, gave up six hits and walked three in 5 1/3 innings.

The A’s did little with their few chances against Buehrle. Jake Smolinski hit an RBI triple in the sixth, but Brett Lawrie and Josh Phegley failed to drive him home. Josh Reddick and Marcus Semien singled leading off the fifth before Billy Burns lined out to right and Stephen Vogt lined out to shortstop Jose Reyes, who stepped on second for an easy double play. TRAINER’S ROOM Blue Jays: RHP Aaron Sanchez allowed two runs and recorded two outs in a rehab assignment for Triple-A Buffalo. Manager John Gibbons had said if Sanchez pitched well he could join the Blue Jays bullpen Thursday. Athletics: OF Coco Crisp (strained neck) participated in batting practice and could begin a minor league rehab assignment soon. ... Switch-pitcher

Lefty reliever Sean Doolittle (strained left shoulder) played catch out to 105 feet and is expected to throw a bullpen session by the end of the month. UP NEXT Blue Jays: LHP Felix Doubront (10, 4.50 ERA) will make just his fourth start this season Wednesday night against Oakland. He’ll try to secure his spot in the rotation after a rough outing in Kansas City before the All-Star break, when he allowed five earned runs — and seven total — in five innings. Athletics: RHP Sonny Gray (10-4, 2.29 ERA) will try to rebound from one of his worst starts of the season. He allowed five runs in six innings in a 5-0 loss to the Twins on Friday.

Quebec City and Las Vegas take lead in NHL’s formal expansion process NEW YORK — Quebec City and Las Vegas are now at the forefront of the NHL expansion movement. Owners in those two cities were the only ones to submit expansion applications before Monday’s deadline, the league has confirmed. The NHL said it received requests from and sent applications to 16 different groups or individuals. Quebecor submitted a bid to bring the Nordiques back to Quebec City, while Bill Foley applied for a Las Vegas franchise. Ownership groups in the Toronto and Seattle areas considered applying but ultimately did not. The NHL said the intent of the expansion process was to “set realistic guideposts to distinguish between bona fide expressions of interest ... from those indications of potential interest which were, at best, merely hopes or aspirations.” “Apparently, only Mr. Foley and Quebecor have the confidence in their ability to secure an arena and suitable ownership capability to move forward with this process,” the league said. Quebecor manages the Videotron Centre, which will host a pre-season game between the Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins in September. A new arena is under construction on the Las Vegas strip and is set to open in the spring of 2016. Foley’s Hockey Vision Las Vegas ticket drive collected almost 14,000 deposits, which helped pave the way for the city to be a strong candidate.

Team releases Froome’s Tour data RACE LEADER UNDER PRESSURE BOTH ON AND OFF TOUR DE FRANCE ROADS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SISTERON, France — The team of Tour de France leader Chris Froome bowed to pressure Tuesday and released data about his riding power, heart rate and pedaling rhythm, hoping to quell speculation about doping ahead of an increasingly likely victory in Paris. On the Tour’s second rest day, Team Sky presented the figures after comments on French TV raised questions about Froome’s performance and incidents in which spectators have booed, spat upon and thrown urine on the rider and his teammates — behaviour attributed in part to the unfounded speculation about his speed on the way to victory in Stage 10. With a 3 minute, 10 second lead on his closest rival, and his mountainclimbing nearly unparalleled, Froome said he’s in “a great place” as the three-week race resumes Wednesday with Stage 17’s 161-kilometre (100-mile) jaunt over four climbs from Digne-lesBains to an uphill finish at Pra Loup mountain resort. It’s the start of four grueling days in the Alps. The climax comes Saturday with an uphill finish at Alpe d’Huez, a day before a largely ceremonial ride for the race winner on the ChampsElysees in Paris. “The third week of the Tour is always unpredictable. You never know how anyone is going to respond,” said American rider Tejay van Garderen, the BMC team leader who is third overall, 3:32 behind of Froome. Van Garderen said the British race leader, who won the Tour in 2013 and has never tested positive for doping, has had to deal with “the aftermath” of doping cheats of the past. “It was clear that he dealt with the heat and dealt with the (first) rest day better than other people did,” Van Garderen said of Froome’s Stage 10 victory. “I think it’s very unfair for him

Britain’s Chris Froome, front left, rides with his teammates during a training on the second rest day of the Tour de France cycling race in Sisteron, Tuesday. to have to deal with all the scrutiny.” Froome, a Kenya-born Briton, said his team wants to address doubts about Sky’s performances with the release of his rider data. “I’m not sure if numbers are going to fix everything, but certainly I feel as a team and myself, we’re definitely trying to be as open and transparent as possible,” he said. Sky performance analyst Tim Kerrison presented figures including Froome’s power output, cadence and

heart rate on the climb to the Stage 10 finish. The figures showed the rider’s ability to generate vast amounts of power, hitting a top speed of 27.7 kph going uphill. Kerrison said Froome produced 414 watts and a pedal cadence of 97 revolutions per minute on average on the climb. Froome’s heart rate hit 174 beats per minute the highest rate that the team has tallied from him in any recent Grand Tour race and Kerrison called that a sign that Froome had ar-

rived “very fresh” at the foot of that ascent. Last week, France-2 ran a report quoting a doctor, Pierre Sallet, who it said works with statisticians for race organizer ASO, analyzing Tour riders’ performances. ASO says that is only partly true: It says Sallet’s team does give them data about the race itself, providing such details as where riders are on the road in relation to each other. But ASO says Sallet doesn’t analyze rider’s physiological data.

Organizers looking to make the Canadian Open more ‘Canadian’

BRIEFS Wolf Creek’s Locke holds lead at PGA Assistants Championship EDMONTON — Eric Locke of Wolf Creek shot an opening-round 68 Tuesday to take a three-shot lead into today’s second and final round of the Cobra Puma Golf PGA of Alberta Assistants Championship at Jagare Ridge. Locke, who carded birdies on the first, third and ninth holes, was followed by Scott Borsa of the Red Deer Golf and Country Club, Walter Murray of Calgary Redwood Meadows, Thomas Schupp of Calgary Eaglequest Golf Dome and Jacques Plouffe of Edmonton Blackhawk, all of whom fired a 71. Jordan Krulicki of the Red Deer Golf and Country Club checked in with a 75, while Ryan Moore of Ponoka shot a 78.

Red Deer’s McAdam in eighth after two rounds at Alberta Men’s Amateur Championship EDMONTON — Brett Hogan of Calgary Willow Park turned in a secondround 69 Tuesday to retain his lead in the Alberta Men’s Amateur Championship at the Petroleum Golf and Country Club. Hogan, with a 36-hole total of 136, opened up a five-shot cushion atop the leaderboard. Sitting in second place heading into today’s third round was Andrew Harrison of Camrose, who had the best score of the day — a 68 — and possessed a 141 total.

MARKHAM, Ont. — Canadian Open organizers are adding a lot more red and white to the expanse of green at Glen Abbey Golf Club. First-year tournament director Brent McLaughlin heard from players that there’s not enough “Canadiana” at the RBC Canadian Open. They’ll get their wish on the course this week with the addition of many Canadian flags, including a 30-by-15-feet one behind the 18th green. It’s all an effort to make the Canadian Open more Canadian. “I think we’ve struck a balance of the Canadiana,” McLaughlin said in a phone interview last week. “We’ve lost touch with kind of the stuff that makes us uniquely Canadian: the Mounties and kind of those stereotypes that you always hear. “I know we don’t like it when it’s talked about about us, but it’s nice when we can sort of say, ’Yeah, you’re in Canada. It’s a little bit different here.”’ Sixteen Canadian players are expected to be in the field for Canada’s national open. That group features Graham DeLaet, David Hearn, Adam Hadwin and recent PGA Tour winner Nick Taylor. No Canadian has won this event since Pat Fletcher in 1954. Mike Weir, the 2003 Masters winner who withdrew for personal reasons to take a leave of absence from golf, came the closest when he was a playoff runner-up to Vijay Singh in 2004. Golf Canada CEO Scott Simmons said the organization had to close the gates and stop selling tickets at Glen Abbey twice: when Tiger Woods was at his peak and won in 2000 and then when Weir had the Sunday lead in 2004. “It just shows you what can happen when a homegrown does well on Canadian soil, and I hope we see that (this week), come Sunday we’ve got some Canadian flags at the top of the leaderboard,” Simmons said Sunday after the inaugural Pan Am Games golf tournament. Of course the event will be a smashing success and keep up the Pan Am nationalism in the Toronto area if a Canadian is close to the lead this weekend. But there’s no safe bet on that, what with a field that includes world No. 3 Bubba Watson, No. 7 Jim Furyk and No. 9 Jason Day, who tied Tyler Saunders of Edmonton Glendale (72-70—142) and Alexander Smith of Calgary Pinebrook (71-71—142) were tied for third. Michael McAdam of the Red Deer Golf and Country Club (RDG&CC) was the low Central Alberta competitor. He opened with a 76 and carded a 71 Tuesday, good for a 147 total and a tie of eighth place. Other Central Alberta results: Matt Codd, RDG&CC (83-70— 153, tied for 32nd); Grant Numrich, RDG&CC (78-75—153, tied for 32nd); Brett Pasula, RDG&CC (74-79—153, tied for 32nd); Kyle Morrison, RDG&CC (7678—154, tied for 40th); Jared Nicolls, Wolf Creek (80-75—155, tied for 42nd); Kolby Vold, Wolf Creek (81-80—161, missed cut).

Fans are silhouetted as they watch the ninth green as the Canadian Flag blows in the wind during the first round at the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ont., on July 25, 2013. Canadian Open organizers are adding a lot more red and white to the expanse of green at Glen Abbey Golf Club. Firstyear tournament director Brent McLaughlin heard from players that there’s not enough “Canadiana” at the RBC Canadian Open. vice from the Oakville and Bronte GO stations Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and trips home on those days are free with a Canadian Open ticket. Kids under 17 are also free, part of the reason McLaughlin thinks the HOV lanes won’t stunt any crowds. “Our statistics have shown that most people that attend sporting events and other functions travel in larger groups,” he said. “So I think it actually helps us. It’s almost like a true event feel having the 3-plus. I don’t think it’s going to affect us.” If anything, the timing of the Pan Am Games, where Canada is enjoying substantial success on home soil, could benefit the Canadian Open. Simmons hopes the 2010 Olympics and “Own the podium” movements stir up more nationalism at Glen Abbey. “We’ve always known to be a very respectful bunch,” Simmons said. “But it’s time to kind of puff our chests out and be proud of who we are: our country, our players.”

for fourth at the British Open. Even though Brandt Snedeker pulled out with a hip injury, Simmons considers this one of the deeper fields the Canadian Open has had in a while. That’s certainly a selling point, but McLaughlin also instituted “Red And White Day” on Friday to encourage fans and golfers to show off national spirit and added food trucks serving things like poutine and Beavertails. “This is a festival,” he said. “It’s just a fun atmosphere to get involved with. More so than just focusing on the talent and the Canadian players and anybody in the field in general, it needs to be an event. People love events.” People don’t love traffic, a Toronto hallmark that’s worse given that the Pan Am Games are going on throughout the region. With high-occupancy lanes set up for three or more people for the duration of the Games, McLaughlin said the Canadian Open has done everything possible to warn people what to expect.

SAN FRANCISCO — After a nearly decade-long steroids prosecution, Barry Bonds emerged victorious Tuesday when federal prosecutors dropped what was left of their criminal case against the career home runs leader. The government’s pursuit of Bonds ended quietly with a one-paragraph motion by the U.S. Department of Justice announcing Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr. will not ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the appellate decision that overturned Bonds’ obstruction of justice conviction. A jury found the former San Francisco Giants star guilty in 2011 for giving a meandering answer to a federal grand jury in 2003 when asked whether his personal trainer gave him anything that required a syringe for self-injection. An 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that conviction in April, and the government had until Wednesday to file for a Supreme Court review. “The finality of today’s decision gives me great peace,” Bonds, said. “This outcome is something I have long wished for. I am relieved, humbled and thankful for what this means for me and my family moving forward.”

Pair plead guilty in court after being stuck in snow

BRIEFS

Two Central Alberta men were sentenced to time served after they attempted to flee from Sylvan Lake RCMP only to end up stuck in a snow bank. Ryan William Litwyn, 28, of Red Deer and Andrew William Rogers, 34, of Penhold were arrested on Feb. 3. The vehicle they drove evaded a police spike belt but in doing so became stuck in a snowdrift near Rimbey. At the time, they were charged with 62 offences. Appearing in Red Deer provincial court this week, Rogers pleaded guilty to failing to stop and evading police. He was sentenced to time served and a one-year driving prohibition. Litwyn pleaded guilty to obstructing a peace officer and was sentenced to time served.

Credit card, ID theft investigated by city police Red Deer RCMP are asking for the public’s help in finding a woman suspected of credit card and identity fraud. A police press release says the woman made a number of purchases on a stolen credit card, then attempted to access her victim’s bank accounts using the victim’s stolen identification. The suspect used a credit card and personal identification from a purse that went missing on Friday and may have been stolen from Holy Family Elementary School that morning. The woman went to the victim’s bank, produced the victim’s identification and requested access to her bank account. The bank did not comply and alerted the victim, who discovered a number of purchases had also been made on her credit card at various Red Deer businesses. RCMP obtained surveillance footage of the suspect. She is described as 40-to-45-years-old with long blond hair, wearing sunglasses and a white jacket. She was seen driving away from the bank in a white SUV. If you suspect or know that you are a victim of identity theft or fraud, or if you unwittingly provided personal information or financial information: ● Contact your local police force and file a report. ● Contact your bank and credit card company. ● Contact the two national credit bureaus and place a fraud alert on your credit reports.

The War Amps float passed on the vital Playsafe/Drivesafe message at the recent Westerner Days parade. This year’s theme, Mean Machines, was depicted on the colourful animated float, which had a special focus on lawn mowers, and warned kids about the dangers around them. Landon Haigh, 22, of Red Deer, joined the float as a safety ambassador. As a member of the War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, Landon is well qualified to pass on the Playsafe message as he has met children who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented. Landon now works at spreading the message of “playing safely” to as many children as possible. CPR was provided and she was taken to hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The woman’s family was notified and provided victim services. RCMP Major Crimes Unit will conduct an in-custody death investigation. ASIRT will conduct a review of the RCMP investigation. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has jurisdiction over all police officers in Alberta. Their mandate is to investigate incidents or complaints involving serious injury or death of any person, and matters of a serious or sensitive nature, that may have resulted from the actions of a police officer.

A Red Deer man stopped by Mounties for failing to use his turn signal while changing lanes pleaded not guilty to a series of firearm offences. Gerred Leslie Badham was not in Red Deer provincial court on Tuesday. However, defence counsel Jason Snider acted as agent for Badham’s counsel Akrim Attia of Edmonton. Badham pleaded not guilty to 12 charges, including two counts of possession of firearms contrary to an order, two counts of careless transportation of a firearm, two counts of possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm and one count each of unauthorized possession of a firearm, tampering with a firearm’s serial number, possession of methamphetamine, driving while unauthorized, not having insurance and not signalling properly. Snider entered the pleas on behalf of Attia before Judge David Plosz. Red Deer RCMP found a .22-calibre handgun, a sawed-off shotgun and brass knuckles. Snider reserved plea on a charge of failing to appear in court. That charge was moved to the trial date with the likelihood of resolution discussions between defence and the Crown. Badham was arrested on April 16 in Red Deer after he was pulled over by RCMP officers who saw him fail to use his turn signal while changing lanes.

Trudeau says child care benefit should not go to rich families like his

BRIEFS

Sex case of ex-Alpine Canada coach Charest put off until September

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau is putting his money where his mouth is when it comes to the Conservative government’s newly enhanced universal child care benefit. The Liberal leader maintains it’s wrong to give the benefit to wealthy families that don’t need help raising their kids. And to underscore that point, he’s going to give his own family’s windfall to charity. With three young children, one under the age of six, Trudeau is entitled to collect annual UCCB payments of about $3,400. In an interview Tuesday, he said he’ll give that money to La Maison Bleue, a charitable group in his Montreal riding devoted to helping vulnerable women during pregnancy and the early days of motherhood. Child care benefits should go to families who need the help, “not families like mine or Mr. (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper’s,” Trudeau told The Canadian Press. “When it comes to child benefits, fair doesn’t mean giving everyone the same thing, it means giving people what they need.” On the same principle, Trudeau has previously promised that he and his wife won’t take advantage of the Conservatives’ newly introduced parental income splitting scheme — forgoing some $2,000 in potential savings on his family’s annual income taxes. Should the Liberals win this fall’s election, Trudeau is vowing to scrap income splitting for couples with children, a measure worth more than $2 billion which many experts have said would benefit primarily the top 15 per cent of income earners. He’s promising to plow that money, and more, into a single, new, tax-free child benefit. It would replace the UCCB and two other existing child benefits with what Liberals say would be more generous payments for most par-

Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau looks at a model of a planet during a visit to the Cosmodome in Laval, Tuesday. ents than what they currently receive from the Conservative government. Trudeau said he actually agrees with the Conservatives that boosting child benefits will help stimulate the sluggish economy but he fundamentally disagrees with their insistence that all families, regardless of income, should get the same amount. Under the Liberal proposal, benefits would be gradually reduced for families with incomes of more than $150,000, and cut off entirely for those with incomes over $200,000. “We’re choosing to do more for the people who need it by doing less for the people who don’t,” Trudeau said. “Our plan is progressive.” He stressed that the Liberal benefit would also be tax-free, not clawed back through income taxes like the UCCB. The government is delivering the

enhanced UCCB payments, retroactive to January, in lump sum payments to parents this week. Employment Minister Pierre Poilievre sported a shirt emblazoned with the Conservative party logo at a government event Monday to tout the payments — calling them “Christmas in July.” “Everybody knows that Christmas is followed by a month or two in which you’re going to get the credit card bills,” Trudeau said, accusing the Conservatives of shamelessly trying to buy the votes of parents. “Come tax time, an awful lot of families are going to have to be paying back a chunk of that child care money that’s just announced.” Trudeau also had tough words for NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, who has promised to keep the current UCCB and introduce a program to create one

SAINT-JEROME, Que. — The case of a former national ski coach who faces a host of sex-related charges involving girls and young women between the ages of 12 and 19 has been put off until September. Bertrand Charest faces 57 charges, including sexual assault and breach of trust. Charest was again denied bail in late June. The date of Sept. 10 for the resumption of the case was set in a courtroom today in Saint-Jerome, north of Montreal. Charest’s latest alleged victim came forward recently and said she was sexually assaulted in Whistler, B.C., in the late 1990s. The initial incidents allegedly took place in the ’90s in Mont-Tremblant, north of Montreal, and in France, Austria, New Zealand and the United States. Charest worked with Alpine Canada’s women’s development team between 1996 and 1998.

Vancouver’s Mayor Robertson energized by Vatican climate conference VATICAN CITY — Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson says he’ll return from a two-day climate conference at the Vatican ready to push the federal government to adopt bold targets for carbon reduction. Robertson is the only Canadian among 60 global mayors gathered in Rome to promote Pope Francis’ environmental encyclical, which denounced the fossil fuel-based world economy that exploits the poor and destroys the Earth. Robertson says he has met with delegates, listened to a talk from the pope and signed a declaration that calls for financial incentives to shift to renewable energies.

Judge uneasy with RCMP bid for U.S. help in extradition BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

SU BIN

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia judge is concerned that assistance from the United States in extraditing an accused Chinese spy has more to do with inadequate RCMP resources than Canada’s international obligations. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Terence Schultes said on Tuesday he wouldn’t accept that the Mounties don’t have the ability to translate the equivalent of more than 300,000 pages of seized information from Canadian permanent resident Su Bin. The United States wants to extradite Su to face trial over accusations he masterminded a plot to steal military trade secrets from several American defence contractors. The Canadian government has asked the court to OK a team of U.S. investigators to help the RCMP extract and translate reams of data found on Su’s seized electronics, written predominately in Chinese characters. That information would then be used

by the courts to decide whether to extradite him. The RCMP’s inability to investigate the matter on its own suggests it has a resource-allocation issue, said Schultes. He said the proposed assistance could be interpreted as “administrative convenience.” “I presume they either don’t want to spend the money or whoever’s in charge here can’t authorize to spend the money,” the judge said. “That’s really the elephant in the room for me.” Stacey Repas, counsel for the federal attorney general, told the court Canada has an international obligation to co-operate with its neighbour on issues of national security. It would take the one Canadian Mountie available working full time more than 35 years to translate the documents, and outside help is the only immediate option to expedite processing the U.S.’s extradition applica-

tion, he said. “It is a reasonable and measured way of dealing with information that relates to serious offences that have an impact on U.S. national security,” said Repas. Su’s defence lawyer Greg DelBigio echoed the judge’s unease, describing the application as purely a resource issue. “I say that Canadian law has not yet reached the point where we outsource criminal investigations simply because of inadequate resources,” said DelBigio. He also said American translators may not comply with Canadian requirements that they not submit any information to the U.S. before a Canadian court order permits them to do so. There would be little recourse available in the event of a breach, he added. “There would be nothing that a Canadian court could do,” said DelBi-

gio. “You can’t bring the information back.” Repas countered, saying American translators would be required to sign a non-disclosure form that would guarantee repercussions if they failed to follow the rules. DelBigio said if the court rules in favour of the application, he’d like to see the RCMP sign a contract making them liable for any possible breach of information by the U.S. agents. “This is, I submit, a perfectly reasonable, lawful and appropriate balancing of interests,” he said. “It would offer my client some protection.” A Los Angeles grand jury indicted Su last August on five offences, including conspiracy to steal trade secrets, conspiracy to export defence information and unauthorized computer access. The Canadian government is attempting to revoke Su’s permanent residency status but he is appealing the decision.

Posey got weepy over role in Woody Allen flick IRRATIONAL MAN BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Actress Parker Posey earned the nickname Queen of the Indies with a slew of eccentric roles in smaller offbeat comedies, including Waiting for Guffman, Dazed and Confused and Best in Show. But these days she’s feeling “like a gambler” in an industry that isn’t giving much financing to the types of films she usually does, she says. So when she got a role as an unhappily married professor in writer-director Woody Allen’s new film Irrational Man, she cried. “The career path of an actress, you have to be lucky and that’s why, kind of, I burst into tears over it,” Posey says in a phone interview from New York. “I felt like I was in Vegas all of a sudden, you know? I’ve seen movies change over my career and fewer and fewer auteurs that can still get their movies financed. “I have thought of other career options and have seen something go out of style and it’s something that I thought would last a long time. “I’ve relied on my luck and so I felt really lucky, because then I knew that it would help my career.”

BRIEF Miley Cyrus to host MTV Video Music Awards at Microsoft Theater on Aug. 30 LOS ANGELES — Miley Cyrus is twerking back to the MTV Video Music Awards as the show’s host. The 25-year-old singer-actress revealed on her social media accounts Monday that she’s helming the Aug. 30 ceremony. Cyrus announced the gig by posting a photo of herself in an alien costume with sandwich boards that read “MTV won’t let me perform” and “so I’m hosting this year’s VMAs.” A scantily clad Cyrus shocked audiences with a rump-shaking performance alongside Robin Thicke at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Cyrus won the video of the year trophy at last year’s show and invited a young homeless man named Jesse Helt on stage to accept the trophy on her behalf. The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards will air live on MTV from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

Out Friday in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, Irrational Man stars Joaquin Phoenix as a brooding philosophy professor who has everyone talking when he arrives at a small college on the East Coast. Emma Stone plays a student who is enamoured with him while Posey plays a married colleague who yearns for his attention. The three are caught up in a love triangle that comes to a head when Phoenix’s character commits an existential act that gives him a renewed vigour. Posey says she got the role just after starring in the play The Realistic Joneses at Yale Repertory Theater in New Haven, Conn. “I wasn’t a big enough name to be cast in the Broadway production and that was indicative of these times in our culture that would naturally have me worried, especially a little play,” she says. “So it was a relief and it was an awareness that kind of overcame me” when the part in Irrational Man came about, she adds. “We’re at the mercy of the culture and the culture now is a lot about selfcreating your own material, because agencies and studios are making bigger franchise genre films,” says Posey. “So I’ve been looking at other ways to change and evolve with the changing culture and coming up with other options. So you just have to stay creways On My Mind, and The Box Tops’ The Letter, has died. He was 72. Carson died on Monday in Nashville, Tennessee, in hospice care after a lengthy illness, according to family friend Shirley Hutchins. He got his first No. 1 hit in 1966 on Somebody Like Me, performed by Eddy Arnold, and his songs have been covered by artists across genres, from Elvis Presley to Al Green. Always On My Mind, co-written with Johnny Christopher and Mark James, won two Grammy Awards in 1982. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1997.

Son and grandson of Ernest Hemingway urge fresh look at Green Hills of Africa BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Eighty years after the release of Green Hills of Africa, the son and grandson of Ernest Hemingway are urging a fresh look at a work critics have often set aside. Published in 1935, Green Hills of Africa was Hemingway’s account of a hunting safari on the Serengeti Plains, a chronicle of adventure and a literary challenge Hemingway set up for himself. Anticipating by decades Truman Capote’s “nonfiction novel,” the classic In Cold Blood, Hemingway wanted to prove that “an absolutely true book” can “compete with a work of the imagination.” The new edition is part of a series authorized by the Hemingway estate that already includes reissues of A Moveable Feast, The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms. Grandson Sean Hemingway contributes an introduction, while son Patrick Hemingway, a boy at the time his parents were in Africa, shares personal memories. The book also includes photographs, early drafts of the finished narrative and a diary kept by the author’s then wife, Pauline Pfeiffer. “She’s not a person who’s well known, so it’s wonderful to have a sus-

tained piece of writing by her,” Sean Hemingway said recently of his grandmother, the second of Ernest Hemingway’s four wives. “It’s also a wonderful complement to my grandfather’s work.” As Pfeiffer’s diaries reveal, Green Hills of Africa was not entirely factual. The author rearranged some chronology and minimized a bout of dysentery so severe that he had to be flown out of the area. Pfeiffer’s journal also describes a near-tragedy — the author’s rifle fell off a car and fired — that inspired Hemingway’s classic short story The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, in which the title character is killed by a sudden blast from his wife’s gun. In the decade before Green Hills of Africa, the story collection “In Our Time” and the novels The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms had made Hemingway one of the world’s most famous authors. Critics have viewed Green Hills of Africa, written while he was in his mid30s, as an early sign of his legend overtaking his work. Edmund Wilson, who had been a leading champion of Hemingway, despaired that the author in his nonfiction persona had become a bloated parody, Ernest Hemingway, the Old Master of Key West.

Spanish journalists go missing in Syria DISAPPEARED WHILE WORKING IN ALEPPO, WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MADRID — Three Spanish freelance journalists who travelled to Syria to report amid the country’s longrunning civil war have gone missing around the embattled northern city of Aleppo, a Spanish journalism association said Tuesday, the latest ensnared in the world’s most dangerous assignment for reporters. The disappearance of Antonio Pampliega, Jose Manuel Lopez and Angel Sastre, presumed to be working together, comes as most media organizations have pulled out of Syria, especially with the rise of the extremist Islamic State group. At least 84 journalists have been killed since 2011 in Syria, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, while others remain missing or have been released for ransom. Elsa Gonzalez, the president of the Spanish journalism association, told Spanish National Television that the three disappeared while working in the Aleppo area. She said they entered Syria from Turkey on July 10. A statement from their families said the men had been missing since July

kidnapped Western journalists in Syria and later killed them, is outside the city and controls parts of the northern and eastern Aleppo countryside. The extremists are responsible for most kidnappings in Syria since the summer of 2013, but government-backed militias, criminal gangs and rebels affiliated with the Western-backed Free Syrian Army also have been involved with various motives. An unprecedented spate of kidnappings by Islamic State militants starting in summer 2013 has kept most journalists away, particularly since the group began killing foreign journalists and aid workers it holds, starting with American journalist James Foley in August last year. Foley’s taped beheading was followed by the killing of American-Israeli journalist Steven Sotloff, British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, American aid worker Peter Kassig, as well as Japanese nationals Haruna Yukawa and Kenji Goto. The group also has generated cash from ransoming European journalists. Often media don’t report abduction cases at the request of the families or employers. It’s not clear how many foreign and local journalists remain held

A Spanish Foreign Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with policy regulations said the ministry is aware of the situation and is working on it, declining to elaborate. Gonzalez did not say whether the journalists were on assignment for specific media organizations. Aleppo is the scene of daily fighting. Government helicopters also regularly drop explosive barrels on rebel-held parts of the city. A missile attack on a rebel-held neighbourhood in Aleppo killed at least 10 people and wounded many others Tuesday, two activist groups said. The Local Coordination Committees said the attack on the Maghayer neighbourhood killed 10 people, including women and children. The Observatory for Human Rights said the attack killed 18 people and wounded more than 50. It said the surface-to-surface missile destroyed several houses in the area. It is not uncommon to have different death tolls in the aftermath of attacks in Syria, where the four-year conflict has killed more than 220,000 people.

California serious about water cuts CRACKING DOWN ON WATER WASTE BY PROPOSING $1.5 MILLION FINE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California drought regulators sent the strongest signal yet that they’re serious about cracking down on water waste by proposing a first-of-its kind, $1.5 million fine against a group of farmers they say illegally took water. The fine announced Monday by the State Water Resources Control Board is the first ever levied against an individual or district with senior rights that are more than a century old and have long provided immunity from mandatory conservation. The fine follows months of unprecedented cutback orders to communities, businesses and the powerful agriculture industry during the fourth year of the devastating dry spell in California. The state is fighting off court challenges to its authority to control water use and doubts over whether it has the resources to enforce its orders. The water board levied the historic fine against the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District, which serves 160 farming families and a suburban planned community of 12,000 people in the Central Valley. Andrew Tauriainen, a water board prosecutor, said the district was outspoken over continuing to illegally take water, and the fine should show others such brazenness will draw the attention of investigators. Byron-Bethany Board President Russell Kagehiro said the state was making an arbitrary example of his district at the expense of its customers and farmers, which stand to lose $65 million in crops under the cuts demanded by the state. The district has previously filed a lawsuit seeking to preserve its water access. “Farmers have to sort of weigh the cost of losing that crop, I guess, against potential fines,” said Jeffrey Michael, an economist at the University of the Pacific in Stockton. The equation is particularly challenging for those who contend the state has no authority to order them to conserve because their rights predate the modern water permitting system in 1914. Courts have yet to rule on the

matter. These senior water rights holders have strong incentives to fight any state-ordered curtailments because they will likely see similar cuts in future dry years if they yield in this drought, Michael said. Water board officials say they plan to issue more penalties and orders later this summer to stop taking water. The board has sent out more than 9,000 notices across the parched Central Valley warning of short water supplies. Some continue to draw anyway, including the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. The agency intends to divert water for the city-operated Camp Mather near Yosemite National Park until it receives a cease-and-desist order, spokesman Tyrone Jue said.

Ukrainian right-wingers hold anti-government rally

The water board would not confirm if San Francisco was under investigation as a result. State inspectors have conducted about 1,200 investigations in the past year but only took action on two, including Byron-Bethany. Officials say some cases from last year are still dragging because the state doesn’t have enough people to handle all the work. “Our resources are somewhat limited here, and we are taking our cases as we can get them and as we can develop them,” Tauriainen, the water board lawyer. In the case of Byron-Bethany, the water board says state data shows illegal diversions of water from a pumping plant in June after the district received a warning that the watershed

Obama hears echoes of “chest-beating” Iraq war mindset in critics of Iran deal BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KIEV, Ukraine — Hundreds of Ukrainian right-wingers were rallying in Kyiv on Tuesday to protest against government policies in the wake of a deadly stand-off between radical nationalists and police in the country’s west. The radical Right Sector group was one of the most militant factions in the massive protests in Ukraine’s capital that prompted pro-Russia President Viktor Yanukovych to flee the country in February 2014. Since the war broke out in eastern Ukraine between government forces and pro-Russia separatists several months later, the Right Sector has fought on the government side. However, Right Sector militants keep running into disputes with local Ukrainian authorities and Amnesty International has accused the group of holding civilians as prisoners and torturing them. The activists claim they are trying to clamp down on corruption and nepotism but Ukrainian authorities accuse Right Sector of using violence to reach its goals. Speaking Tuesday at the national Right Sector congress, group leader Dmytro Yarosh called for a referendum to impeach President Petro Poroshenko and his government. Yarosh also called for the recognition of volunteer battalions and their right to carry arms as well as introducing martial law, which he said, will

help defeat the rebels in the east. Right Sector supporters gathered on Tuesday evening on Kyiv’s main square to support Yarosh’s motion. Most of them were civilians and appeared to be unarmed, although some young men wore camouflage. Yarosh told the supporters at the square that the new government that replaced Yanukovych’s regime was only about “changing names” but not the political system. “We are an organized revolutionary force that is opening the new phase of the Ukrainian revolution,” he said. The Right Sector leader garnered about 1 per cent of the vote in the May 2014 presidential election. His radical anti-Russian stance prompted the Kremlin to dismiss the uprising in Kyiv as a neo-Nazi coup. The Ukrainian government has attempted to rein in the volunteer battalions who often took frontline positions in eastern Ukraine where soldiers were reluctant to go by encouraging them to join the National Guard and police forces. In reality, hundreds of men in government-controlled eastern Ukraine still carry arms without any authorization. Two Right Sector members were killed earlier this month after the group attacked police in the western city of Mukacheve with gunfire and grenades. Police responded and then surrounded some gunmen in a wooded area of Mukacheve and have been trying to negotiate their surrender since then.

was too dry to meet demand. District general manager Rick Gilmore said he did not know a penalty was coming and wasn’t aware of the details. The water that the state believes was taken might have been supplemental supplies purchased by the district, he said. Tauriainen said there was no indication the district had been taking such supplemental water from other sources before the alleged diversions began. Byron-Bethany has 20 days to request a hearing before the water board to contest the fine, although it’s unclear how long it could take to resolve the case. The maximum penalty the five-member board could assess is $5 million, depending on how the water was used.

PITTSBURGH — President Barack Obama denounced “chest-beating” critics and told a veterans group Tuesday that those who oppose the diplomatic agreement to rein in Iran’s nuclear program are some of the same people who were quick to want to go to war in Iraq and thought military action there would take a matter of months. “We’re hearing the echoes of some of the same policies and mindsets that failed us in the past,” Obama told the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention in Pittsburgh. He argued that the Iran deal offers “a smarter, more responsible way to protect our national security.” Obama spoke one day after the U.N. Security Council unanimously endorsed the nuclear deal with Iran. The White House is mounting a massive outreach campaign to try to win over skeptics and avert a congressional attempt to scuttle the deal, dispatching top officials daily to television shows and Capitol Hill. Presidential press secretary Josh Earnest revealed that a major Internet-driven campaign for the Iranian agreement will soon get underway as well. Obama told his audience there was “a lot of shaky information out there” about the deal, and he seemed eager to push back. “The same politicians and pundits that are so quick to reject the possibility of a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear program are the same folks who

were so quick to go to war in Iraq and said it would only take a few months,” Obama said. Obama’s 2008 campaign for president centred largely around his opposition to the Iraq War, as he railed against the policies of President George W. Bush. By invoking the Iraq war in the context of the Iran deal, Obama offered a window into the parallels he sees in his efforts to use diplomacy with Iran to avoid getting the U.S. further embroiled in Mideast conflicts. Yet even Obama has found that keeping the U.S. military out of conflict in Iraq and the violence-prone Mideast is easier said than done. Even as he seeks better relations with Iran, Obama is leading a coalition of countries engaged in a major campaign to rout the Islamic State group, which has exploited a vacuum of power in Iraq and Syria in the wake of the Iraq War and the ouster of Saddam Hussein. Last month, Obama ordered another 450 U.S. troops to Iraq to train Iraqi security forces, in another effort to reverse major advances by IS. Obama said his administration had “done the hard and patient work of uniting the international community to meet a common threat. Instead of chest-beating that rejects the idea of talking to our adversaries, which sometimes sounds good in sound bites but accomplishes nothing, we’re seeing that strong, principled diplomacy can give hope of actually resolving a problem peacefully, instead of rushing into another conflict.”

Poor sleep may be linked to Alzheimer’s BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This photo provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows a scanning electron micrograph of multiple round bumps of the HIV-1 virus on a cell surface. An 18-year-old French woman born with the AIDS virus has had her infection under control and nearly undetectable despite stopping treatment 12 years ago, an unprecedented remission, doctors are reporting.

Teen’s HIV has been controlled for 12 years despite stopping AIDS drugs BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS An 18-year-old French teen born with the AIDS virus has had her infection under control and nearly undetectable despite stopping treatment 12 years ago — an unprecedented remission, doctors are reporting. The teen might have some form of natural resistance to HIV that hasn’t yet been discovered. But her case revives hope that early, aggressive treatment can limit how strongly the virus takes hold, and perhaps in rare cases, let people control it without lifelong drugs. A few years ago, doctors reported a similar case: a Mississippi girl who kept HIV in check for 27 months without treatment. But then her virus rebounded, dashing hopes that early treatment might have cured her. At least a dozen adults have had remissions for a median of 10 years after stopping HIV medicines, but the new French case is said to be the first long-lasting one that started in childhood. The case was described Monday at an International AIDS Society conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, by Dr. Asier SaezCirion of the Pasteur Institute in Paris. The teen lives in the Paris area and her identity was not revealed. “This is an exciting story,” but it is unknown if the remission will last, said Francoise Barre-Sinoussi, a scientist at the Pasteur Institute and a co-discoverer of HIV. “This case is clearly additional evidence of the powerful benefit of starting treatment as soon as possible,” she said. Most HIV-infected moms in the U.S. get AIDS medicines during pregnancy, which greatly cuts the chances they will pass the virus to their babies. The French

teen’s mother did not have her HIV under control in pregnancy, and doctors think her daughter was infected before or during birth. Doctors gave the baby an HIV drug — zidovudine, or AZT — for six weeks, which was the standard of care at that time. Tests then showed she still had high levels of HIV in her blood, so she was given a more powerful four-drug combination. She stayed on treatment until she was nearly 6, then doctors lost contact with her. When she came back a year later, her mother said she had stopped giving the girl HIV drugs. Yet doctors could not find HIV in her blood so they decided not to resume treatment. Except for one brief rise when she was 11 that resolved on its own, her virus has remained below a detection threshold ever since, although doctors can still find some at extremely low levels when they look with very sensitive tests. “This girl is in remission of infection but she is infected” and not cured, Saez-Cirion said. She doesn’t have any of the gene variants or other biomarkers that are known to give natural control or protection from HIV infection, and she was not able to suppress the virus on her own before getting the powerful drug combo. Those things suggest that early treatment is responsible for the remission, he said. Sharon Lewin, an AIDS scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, said “it’s always hard to know, when you have a single case report, is there something about this particular individual that’s unique? What’s in the back of people’s minds is, would this have happened anyway,” independent of her treatment, she said.

WASHINGTON — To sleep, perchance to ... ward off Alzheimer’s? New research suggests poor sleep may increase people’s risk of Alzheimer’s disease, by spurring a brain-clogging gunk that in turn further interrupts shut-eye. Disrupted sleep may be one of the missing pieces in explaining how a hallmark of Alzheimer’s, a sticky protein called beta-amyloid, starts its damage long before people have trouble with memory, researchers reported Monday at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference. “It’s very clear that sleep disruption is an underappreciated factor,” said Dr. Matthew Walker of the University of California, Berkeley, who presented data linking amyloid levels with people’s sleep and memory performance. “It’s a new player on the scene that increases risk of Alzheimer’s disease.” Sleep problems are treatable — and a key next question is whether improving sleep can make a difference in protecting seniors’ brains. “Sleep is a modifiable factor. It’s a new treatment target,” Walker said. Enough sleep is important for good health generally — seven to eight hours a night are recommended for adults. When it comes to the brain, scientists have long known that people who don’t get enough have trouble learning and focusing. And anyone who’s cared for someone with dementia knows the nightly wandering and other sleep disturbances that patients often suffer, long thought to be a consequence of the dying brain cells. The new research suggests that sleep problems actually interact with some of the disease processes involved in Alzheimer’s, and that those toxic proteins in turn affect the deep sleep that’s so important for memory formation. “It may be a vicious cycle,” said Dr. Miroslaw Mackiewicz of the National Institute on Aging, who wasn’t part of the new work. Walker’s team gave PET scans to 26 cognitively healthy volunteers in their 70s to measure build-up of that gunky amyloid. They were given words to memorize, and their brain waves were measured as they slept overnight. The more amyloid people harboured in a particular brain region, the less deep sleep they got — and the more they forgot overnight, Walker said. Their memories weren’t transferred properly from the brain’s short-term memory bank into longer-term storage. What’s the risk over time? Two sleep studies tracked nearly 6,000 people over five years, and found those who had poor sleep quality — they tossed and turned and had a hard time falling asleep — were more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment, early memory problems that sometimes lead to Alzheimer’s, said Dr. Kristine Yaffe of the University of California, San Francisco. Sleep apnea — brief interruptions of breathing that repeatedly awaken people without them realizing — caused a nearly two-fold increase in that risk, Yaffe said. She recommended that people at risk of Alzheimer’s be screened for sleep disorders, especially apnea, which has effective treatment.

Man feels misled by lady friend

ANNIE ANNIE

I recently learned that, for the entire time I have known her, my lady friend had been having a sexual affair with another guy who already has a live-in girlfriend. When I confronted her, she neither admitted it nor denied it. Instead, she said her sex life was none of my business. I think I’ve been used for two years. I enjoyed our time together, but I never would have spent so much of it with this woman if I’d known she had a sexual partner. We are no longer seeing each other, and although that is probably for the best, it is awkward since we have mutual friends. What do you think? — Feeling Used Dear Feeling: We think this woman definitely took advantage of you, but we also believe you went into this with different expectations. The woman needed someone to squire her around for dinner and such, and could not do so with her already-attached boyfriend. You were a convenience and she misled you. You, however, assumed there would be an eventual sexual relationship with a woman who told you upfront that she wasn’t interested (the reason is irrelevant). If you had instead considered her to be simply a

BRIEF Boston bus driver makes quick stop at child’s lemonade stand, treats passengers to a cup BOSTON — A Boston bus driver made a new group of friends by surprising passengers with a treat to help brave the sweltering heat: He made a stop at a child’s lemonade stand. Boston.com reports 49-year-old John Lohan first asked riders if they would mind. With no one in a hurry, the passengers agreed and Lohan treated each to one 50-cent cup of lemonade from the West Roxbury stand on Thursday. The Jamaica Plain resident says he noticed the lemonade stand a little over an hour before and decided he would ask passengers about stopping on his next trip. Lohan says the timing was right, because there were only a half-dozen passengers and he was near the end of his route. He says it’s likely the last time he does it.

You made a mistake getting involved with her, but it shouldn’t shame you into avoiding your mutual friends. Hold your head up, be civil around her, and look for romantic companionship elsewhere. Dear Annie: I thought I was being respectful by addressing ladies using the title “Ma’am.” Recently, I said that to a woman and she responded, “My name is Mrs. X. I am not a ‘Ma’am!’” What do you think? —Lafayette, La. Dear Lafayette: We think some people are too easily offended. We all have a preferred term of address, but we cannot expect others, especially strangers, to know what that is. One doesn’t chastise a person for being polite. For those of you who have been unintentionally insulted and feel the need to respond, simply correct the person in a gentle manner so they will know for next time.

Dear Annie: I am a divorced male in my mid-50s. A couple of years ago, I met a divorced woman through a mutual friend. We share a common hobby, which led to us spending hours of time together, often just the two of us. I asked my lady friend early on if she was interested in dating. She told me she had recently been through a bad breakup with her live-in boyfriend. She thought it would be nice to have someone with MITCHELL whom to go out for dinner, but & SUGAR she wasn’t interested in a sexual relationship with anyone. I accepted that. As time went on, however, we became closer. Although there was never anything physical between us, we had what I considered “dates,” where I would pick her up and we’d have dinner. I thought it was only a matter of time before our relationship became romantic and intimate.
