All aboard the vote train SOME CANDIDATES MORE PREPARED THAN OTHERS AHEAD OF ELECTION CALL The train wants to go apparently. Some Central Alberta federal election candidates are already on it, some have their tickets in hand, but some haven’t quite got to the wicket yet. This would be the train to Canada’s 42nd federal election, tracked so far for Oct. 19. When precisely the election call will come is Stephen Harper’s secret, although there are reports he will do so on Sunday — in the middle of the long weekend. If the Oct. 19 date is the day, it would mean an 11-week campaign that would be one of the lengthiest campaigns in MARY-ANN recent history.

Teen held in custody for role in violent robbery BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A convenience store clerk, blinded after being sprayed with bear spray, had a saw held against his throat as a teen demanded cash. The teen was sentenced to nine months in custody followed by 12 months of probation. Judge Bert Skinner handed down the sentence Thursday in Red Deer youth court. The then 17-year-old, pleaded guilty on June 11 to counts of robbery, disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence, possession of a prohibited weapon and two counts of breaching a youth court order. He can’t be named because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act. Crown Prosecutor Carolyn Ayre read in the facts of the case. On April 27, the youth and Erin Bull, 18, entered the Express 24 Food Mart on Erickson Drive at 4:30
a.m. with their faces masked by bandanas. Bull was armed with a saw and the youth was armed with a saw and some bear spray. Bull hit the clerk with the saw, while the youth sprayed the clerk with bear spray. The two demanded cash. The clerk said he couldn’t open the till because he was blinded by the bear spray. At this point the youth held his saw to the clerk’s throat and threatened to harm the clerk. A second employee was in the back while this was occurring and contacted the police. The clerk was able to get one of the two cash drawers open and was attempting to open the other one when Red Deer RCMP arrived. The two people were arrested and charged. Bull pleaded guilty to his role on June 17 in Red Deer provincial court and is scheduled for sentencing on Aug. 26.

Abortion pill approval panned, praised BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
An open drawer of a telemedicine terminal in Des Moines, Iowa, from which Planned Parenthood of the Heartland clinic doctors can remotely prescribe the abortion-inducing drug RU-486, is shown on Sept. 22, 2010. A quarter century after women in France were first given access to it, the abortion drug known as RU-486 is finally going to be available in Canada.

Conservative cabinet ministers shied away Thursday from questions about Health Canada’s decision to approve the abortion drug known as RU-486. Justice Minister Peter MacKay declined to comment on the decision during a stop in Calgary to make an unrelated announcement. “Oh gosh. I think that would best be directed to (Health) Minister (Rona) Ambrose,” he said. “It is an issue of course for women, families, Canadians everywhere, but I think your question would best be directed to Health Canada. “Personal opinions are best kept personal.” Health Canada confirmed late Wednesday that it has approved the drug for use here, a decision that comes 2 ½ years after the manufacturer’s application was submitted. Women will need to obtain a prescription from a doctor to purchase the pill. Defence Minister Jason Kenney and Michelle Rempel, minister of state for western economic diversification, were also in Calgary on Thursday and declined to comment. Ambrose told reporters in St. Albert, Alta., that
the decision did not rest with her. “It’s out of my hands and the decision is final,” she said. “Any of those details you would have to speak to the officials at Health Canada and the scientists that actually manage the regulatory approval process. I’m not involved in it.” Ambrose cancelled two events scheduled for Thursday afternoon and Friday in Edmonton and area. No reason was given. A Conservative MP from Saskatchewan strongly condemned the government for approving the drug. “It is a dangerous combination of drugs that destroys a woman’s tissues in the womb in order to kill her preborn child,” David Anderson, the member for Cypress Hills-Grasslands, said in a release. “I am extremely disappointed that Health Canada would see this as acceptable to Canadians.” Anderson declined an interview request. The RU-486 drug has been available since 1988 in France. It was approved for use in the U.S. in 2000. Prof. Ashley Waddington, a family planning expert at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., praised Health Canada’s decision to approve the abortion pill.

Youth sentenced to probation on theft, mischief charges
GARAGE SALE FOR WHISKERS
BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Staring down the “business end” of what he believed to be a nine-millimetre hand gun, a Red Deer man backed away from his friend’s truck and called 911. Almost two hours later, a 17-year-old was arrested ending what Blackfalds and Red Deer RCMP believed to be an armed and barricaded situation in January in the Schlumberger parking lot south of Red Deer. On Thursday, in Red Deer youth court the now 18-year-old was sentenced to 12-months probation on charged of attempted theft over $5,000 and mischief for causing significant damage to a truck. A firearm or imitation firearm charge was dismissed by judge Bert Skinner when the serial number on the item did not match the serial number in an affidavit signed by a Crown witness. A youth at the time of the offence, he can’t be named because of provisions in the Canada youth Justice Act. The youth had a trial Thursday in Red Deer youth court, but he pleaded guilty to two charges after the Crown closed its case. Jesse Farina, who worked at Schlumberger at the time, was in the payroll office around noon on Jan. 26 when he noticed the flashing tail lights of the truck belonging to his roommate and coworker. Knowing his coworker was working up north at the time, he suspected someone was trying to steal it. Farina went to his home, retrieved the keys and came back to Schlumberger to investigate.

ELECTION: Long campaign a real challenge Red Deer MP Conservative Earl Dreeshen, 62, will be running in the new Red Deer-Mountain View riding. Running for his third term, Dreeshen was in his riding on Thursday. He said he wouldn’t speculate about when the election will be called, but he has been out in the new riding meeting people and doing some door knocking. “We do have a campaign team struck and they are preparing all aspects of what we anticipate we would have to do once the writ is dropped.” Dreeshen, who has made a number of federal funding announcements in the past week, said the government has provided $60 million in funding during the current term. “When it gets closer to an election, of course people are going to look differently at it, but the reality is that our government has been supporting our communities constantly throughout the entire time. I can’t really say much more than that.” Dreeshen doesn’t see a long campaign as a problem. “In the summer we get out and speak with people ... it’s always part of what you do in the summer. We will continue along that same vein.” He said he’s always been busy in the summer so an election campaign won’t be a problem. “We’ve had people saying there’s going to be an election call six months ago too, so if you listen to everything you hear, it drives you crazy.” On Sunday, Dreeshen will be at a family reunion in Saskatchewan. Jeff Rock, 31, who will be the Liberal candidate in the new Red Deer-Lacombe riding, was in British Columbia on Thursday enjoying a brief holiday before an anticipated election call and an intense couple of months. “We’ve had some warning calls. ... We knew it would be a very early and long election period,” said Rock. An early election call is “completely intentional. To create as little media splash as possible. ... If you

were to think of the entire year, what is the day that is going to get the least media attention, ever? The middle of summer. The long weekend. It’s pretty ridiculous. But it is what it is.” A full-time United Church minister in Red Deer, Rock said a campaign of more than a month is a real challenge. “No one can afford to take a 75-day leave of absence unless you’re a sitting MP or someone who is independently wealthy. ... They are doing everything they can do to stack the cards in their favour. I don’t necessarily blame them but I don’t think it’s very gentlemanly.” “I think they’re banking everything on the national campaign and not the local campaigns, and we’re banking everything on the local campaign in Red Deer-Lacombe.” Rock was nominated on Jan. 11, and a lot of preparation work has been done, he said. “We’re ready to go anytime.” He said he has found a lot of undecided voters during recent door knocking. Stephen Merredew, reached in Waterton on vacation, is president of the Red Deer — Mountain View NDP constituency. The nomination date for a candidate has not been set yet. All an early call does is move up the official start of the campaign period, he said. Strategically a long campaign period means more work for the candidates and volunteers. “We’re not too concerned about not having a candidate on Day 1, especially if we have over two months.” They could call the nomination date within 14 days if there is an imminent election call, but normally it would be a 30-day period, Merredew said. At this point they could be setting it by early next week, although he is inclined to lean toward the 30 days, he said. “We have a lot off stuff locked and loaded. We wouldn’t be flying with nothing for very long. ... August will be a good month for us to build steam.” Merredew, who was also actively involved in the recent provincial election, said people are happy with the way things turned out provincially and he believes voters are looking for change at the federal level. Attempts to contact several other Central Alberta candidates in time for this article were not successful. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

APPROVAL: A step in the right direction She called it a step in the right direction for the government and Canadian women. Waddington noted the move comes 10 years after the World Health Organization endorsed the drug on its list of essential medicines that all countries should have available. “To be clear, medical abortion has been available in Canada for decades. However, Canadian women have had to rely on less effective, less safe medications for this purpose,” she said. “This is a step in the right direction towards ensuring Canadian women have access to legal first trimester abortion care that is as safe and accessible as it is in other parts of the world.” Vicki Saporta, CEO of the National Abortion Federation and its Canadian offshoot, NAF Canada, has said the drug probably won’t be available in Canada until early next year. The federal election campaign is expected to begin as early as this weekend.

Ayre wanted a custodial sentence of 12 to 15 months imposed on the youth for this crime, citing the violence used against the clerk. Defence counsel Walter Kubanek said a lengthy custodial sentence would not meet the rehabilitative aims of the Canada Youth Justice Act. While he did see the need for some custodial sentence, but suggested it be open or under community supervision. Skinner ordered a nine month custodial sentence, split three ways in secure custody, open custody and concluding with community supervision. Following the custodial sentence, a 12-month probation period was ordered. Skinner also included a weapons prohibition and that the youth provide a sample of his DNA. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

ALBERTA BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta Finance Minister Joe Ceci is casting a wide net for input into the NDP government’s first budget. He says Albertans can visit the province’s budget website (budget.alberta.ca) for the next six weeks to provide ideas and comments. He also says that he plans to meet with businesses and organizations over the next two months to discuss how to diversify the economy and protect public services. Cabinet ministers are to meet with stakeholders such as the agriculture, forestry and energy industries, the non-profit sector and aboriginal leaders. Ceci says feedback is necessary to help him craft a budget for this year and next that will reflect the priorities of all Albertans. Premier Rachel Notley has said the budget is to be delivered in October. “I want to hear Albertans’ thoughts and ideas on how the government can improve their quality of life and build our economy,� Ceci said in a release Thursday. The finance minister will be working with more than $1 billion in surplus cash from the 2014-15 budget year when the Progressive Conservatives were still in government. But he has indicated that challenges lie ahead as the current fiscal year will be the first full reporting period with oil selling at drastically lower prices. The Tories introduced a budget March 26, but lost to the NDP in the May 5 election before it passed. The Notley government has since passed a bill to keep $18.5 billion in government money flowing. It has also announced hundreds of millions in new spending to cover higher class size enrolment and more money for health care and social programs. Notley has said that she expects the October budget will include a $5.4-billion deficit projected by the NDP during the election.
STORY FROM PAGE A2
THEFT: Crisis negotiator resolved situation He opened the driver side door of the truck and noticed a youth lying on the ground by the second row of seats with what he believed to be a firearm. Farina said the youth pointed the barrel at him, but didn’t stick it in his face. Farina backed away and called the police. Police arrived on scene and Const. Jeremy Bowler, Red Deer RCMP, acted as the communication with the youth. A trained crisis negotiator, Bowler worked to resolve the situation and after an hourand-a-half the youth exited the truck and surrendered to police. Const. John Szerve, Blackfalds RCMP, was one of the officers conducting a search of the area. He located an airsoft handgun, that at first glance he said looked like a nine-millimetre hand gun. The airsoft handgun was located in a snow bank by the driver’s door. By the passenger door on the ground he found a carbon dioxide cartridge. However, at trial defence counsel Kevin Schollie noted that the serial number in the written affidavit submitted as evidence did not match the serial number on the airsoft handgun based on evidence photos. The airsoft handgun was not brought to Red Deer youth court. Two other charges of assault with a weapon and obstruction of police were withdrawn by the Crown. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEF Police say man turned himself in after crosswalk collision injures woman CALGARY — A woman has serious injuries after a second hit-and-run collision in Calgary this week involving a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk. Police say the 38-year-old woman was with a twoyear-old boy and a four-year-old girl when she was struck by a vehicle Wednesday evening in a northeast neighbourhood. The woman is in serious but stable condition, while the children were taken to hospital for observation and released. The driver failed to remain at the scene and investigators are looking for a white Honda that’s believed to have damage to the grill, hood and possibly the windshield. Police say a man turned himself in this morning. On Monday evening, a 33-year-old woman was fatally injured at a crosswalk on the city’s north side. Robert Mark Varley, who is 58, has been charged with hit and run causing death.

Calgary mayor angry at government for rejecting compensation Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi is blasting the NDP government for rejecting the city’s request for disaster recovery program funding for last September’s snowstorm. Nenshi held a news conference on Wednesday where he read out the letter sent to him by Municipal Affairs Minister Deron Bilous rejecting the city’s $27 million request. He mocked Bilous for his comments in the letter, such as saying changing weather patterns have “tested many communities� and adding Calgary should take pride in its “timely and highly effective response.� Bilous issued a statement saying he understood Nenshi’s disappointment but municipalities are responsible for operational requirements related to weather. Nenshi said the storm was the biggest snowfall seen in Calgary in 131 years and resulted in the largest single-day volume of 911 phone calls.

He didn’t do that. We will still vote Oct. 19, but after that frenzy of speculation over the election date, the guessing over the length of the campaign began. The fixed election date gave us U.S.style never-ending campaigns. Now we are getting more expensive campaigns. According to The Canadian Press, Elections Canada had estimated a 37day campaign would cost taxpayers an estimated $375 million to administer. A longer campaign means longer office leases, more ancillary expenses and publicity costs. This election call curbs third party advertising, most notably anti-Harper ads. It also ends the onslaught of government ads, whether warning of the evils of marijuana or singing the praises of those enhanced baby bonus cheques. If you think that is good news, keep in mind that key to this Harper strategy is more partisan ads over a longer period. But there are risks. Harper clearly feels an early call will catch Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau in a trough and will put NDP Leader Tom Mulcair under greater, longer scrutiny. However, if you want a 78-day campaign, you should get out there and tell Canadians for 78 days why you deserve to keep your job. Harper is expected to campaign flat out — an air war with a sporadic ground game would only further cyni-
cism — but that exposes Harper to almost six more weeks of daily scrutiny as well, reminding voters how long he has been in power and how tired many Canadians are of him. The campaign will be underway while Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, is testifying at Mike Duffy’s fraud and breach of trust trial. It may have been smart politics to let that testimony evaporate in the late summer ether but questions about Wright will be a staple on the trail. Harper doesn’t have to answer, but Trudeau and Mulcair surely will and their critiques will be amplified during a campaign. He will be campaigning through concerns of a recession, a potential announcement by Barack Obama killing Harper’s Keystone pipeline, a messy set of trade negotiations that could cost him support in rural dairy-producing constituencies and reduced anxiety over security in this country. He is banking on the fact this marathon will favour him, the veteran campaigner, against the two rookies, beginning with the first debate next week. He’s doing it because he sees this as his best route to re-election and he will lay down his ace-in-the-hole. If this one doesn’t work, there will be more aces played. We’ve got 11 weeks.

Election will decide what type of country we want BY DOUG FIRBY SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE And here we go. If rampant rumours hold true, Canada is about to be thrown into the longest and potentially most vicious federal election in its history. Leaks reported in the media say that Prime Minister Stephen Harper will visit Governor-General David Johnston as soon as this weekend and dissolve Parliament. By legislation, the vote is scheduled to occur Oct. 19. That means voters could be looking at 11 weeks of campaign ads, door knocking, all-candidates meetings and leaders’ debates. There’s a lot on the line with every federal election, but this vote in particular could be a watershed. Here are a few reasons why: ● The swoon of the Liberal Party. After spending close to a decade in the wilderness, the former “natural governing party” expected that it would be able to regain power as voters tired of the scandal-plagued and seemingly aloof Conservatives. That no longer seems likely. After an initial honeymoon, leader Justin Trudeau has seen his trust and approval levels drop like a burned-out doobie, and the party’s fortunes decline with it. In short, the Liberals bear little resemblance to a party that is ready, and fit, to assume power. ● The atrophy of the Conservatives.
The governing party had to scratch and crawl its way into power, fighting to overcome suspicions of a “hidden agenda” and a perception of social conservatism. Harper’s calm — arguably bland — demeanour and steady hand helped assuage those concerns to the point that the party was able to climb from a minority into back-to-back majority governments. Now, a number of Conservative stalwarts have announced they are not standing for re-election and Harper appears at times to be wearying of his ringmaster role. The impression is that this government is getting tired. ● The surprising rise of the NDP. Thomas Mulcair has never gotten much of a break as successor to the charismatic, and late, Jack Layton. Labelled “Angry Tom,” Mulcair has had to fight the perception that he was just another leftie with a chip on his shoulder. This year, things changed dramatically as the NDP picked up the progressive vote the Liberals were unable to hold onto. The astonishing upset victory of the provincial NDP in Alberta signalled a shift in the country’s zeitgeist — suddenly, inconceivable political change is not only possible but perhaps even destined. So, we are going into this campaign with the Conservatives as underdogs, in spite of having several strategic advantages. It is the best-funded of the three leading parties, and best prepared to spend to the end. But, as Alberta’s PCs learned, a big budget buys you attention, not necessarily votes.

For example, one might ask why did the Tories decide to burn off such a large budget with attack ads on Trudeau when it appears he’s is no longer the biggest threat? That is a costly miscalculation, although one that can be corrected over a long campaign. In fact, the NDP have managed to seize the early initiative with Mulcair already in full campaign mode. The Conservatives and Liberals both have some catching up to do. Although it is profoundly difficult to engage the majority of Canadians in meaningful debate at election time, a long election campaign can be healthy for democracy. This election is already shaping up to be one where we will debate what kind of country the emerging generation of voters wants us to be. Will we be insular, as we have become under the Conservatives, or return to more outward-looking on the world stage, as we were in the 1960s under Lester Pearson? Will we remain environmental delinquents with no national carbon plan, or will we once again lead by example? Will we continue our shift to small government that believes laissez-faire economics is the best road to prosperity or reaffirm our commitment to the social programs that have made us an envy of the world? It’s decision time. Let the debates begin. Doug Firby is Editor-in-Chief of Troy Media and National Affairs columnist.

Political parties prepare for Dairy hardball lengthy election campaign TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — In past election campaigns, the federal Conservatives were fond of scheduling their events early in the day, hoping to set the agenda and force everyone else to talk about their policy pronouncements. On Sunday, Stephen Harper is widely expected to take that tactic to a whole new level. By all indications, the prime minister is poised pay a visit to Governor General David Johnston to ask that Parliament be dissolved, kicking off what promises to be a long, hot lead-up to the Oct. 19 federal election. Harper is scheduled to attend a rally with Conservative faithful later that day in Montreal, kicking off a gruelling 11-week campaign that promises to be one of the longest and most expensive in Canadian political history. “He’s playing agenda-setting,” Conservative strategist Tim Powers said Thursday. “(He’s) trying to use his experience and also trying to use what resources the Conservatives have — which appear to be more than the other guys — to his advantage.” Former NDP leader Ed Broadbent said he believes Harper’s early-call strategy is more about trying to steer clear of some serious campaign-trail potholes, notably the Mike Duffy trial and the state of Canadian pocketbooks. “I think ... he would think the longer campaign will enable him to get out from under some of the flak that is yet to come, likely on the Duffy trial and also on the downturn of the Canadian economy,” Broadbent said in an interview. Duffy’s trial resumes Aug. 12 with the star witness: Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, the man who provided the embattled senator with $90,000 in order to pay back dubious housing and travel ex-
OTTAWA — Other parties around the bargaining table are growing exasperated with Canada for stonewalling their demands to pry open its dairy market as part of a major global free-trade deal. But cracks in the Canadian government’s position have begun to show as an agreement on the TransPacific Partnership appears within reach, says a trade envoy for the New Zealand government at the talks in Hawaii. Even so, protectionist stances by Canada and Japan on dairy-market access remain rigid and could even prevent the pact from being signed this week, Mike Petersen told The Canadian Press in an interview Thursday. “It is so small that it’s hard to take it seriously at this point,” Petersen said of an offer by Canada to unlock the door to its dairy market. “Frankly, the discussion’s at such a level that it’s become incredibly frustrating if we really want to get a decent deal out of here.” The 12-country negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which includes Canada, the U.S., and Japan, are aimed at creating nothing less than the largest global trade deal in history. Supporters of the agreement say it would give Canada access to enticing markets in Asia and, in particular, Japan — the planet’s third-largest economy. They argue many sectors would stand to benefit, including the services industry as well as beef and pork producers. But as with any trade deal, Canada would have to give something up to collect the bounty. One of the main concessions targeted by other countries at the table: reducing Canadian protectionism on dairy imports. Domestically, a government decision to loosen supply management of the dairy sector would be politically delicate, particularly ahead of the October election. The prospect of opening up access to the market has been met by strong opposition from DR. ALLISON FOX (R.AUD.) DR. SUSAN HOPF (R.AUD.) dairy farmers and has even stirred protests. www.strategichearingsolutions.com
pense claims. The other oft-mentioned advantage to the Tories of a longer campaign is the fundraising angle: the longer the campaign, the more money the parties are forced to spend. The cash-rich Conservatives have been able to raise more fundraising dollars than the NDP and Liberals combined, but Broadbent said he is confident more money will pour in for the New Democrats once the official campaign is underway. “The popularity of the NDP, everybody in the country knows, has been going up not just in recent weeks but in most recent months and that is generating ... increased donations to the party,” Broadbent said. “I am absolutely certain, given my own experience as leader, once the campaign is officially launched, many people committed to the party will start donating.” Indeed, that appears to have already started. The party announced Thursday it raised nearly $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2015 — more than any quarter in its history. The pre-campaign period, of course, is about more than just party coffers. Observers point to a recent barrage of government spending across the country and a rush of government announcements on Twitter as signs a campaign is nigh. New Democrat officials weren’t saying much Thursday about their Sunday plans, but Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is expected to hold an event in Vancouver prior to the city’s Pride parade if the campaign does indeed get underway. Trudeau will then travel to the Toronto area ahead of the first leader’s debate, scheduled to take place Thursday. Federal law requires campaigns to be at least 37 days long, but says nothing about a maximum length.

Canadians have called it KD and Kraft Dinner is now adopting that name TORONTO — Canadians have been calling Kraft’s macaroni and cheese dinner KD for years and now the company is marketing Kraft Dinner under that name. In a campaign launched on Thursday on Twitter the company tweeted “You may recognize our new name from what you’ve always called us. KDisnowKD” And a posting on the KD Facebook page said “we’re embracing our nickname in a very permanent way” above a new product logo that prominently features the letters KD. The campaign also took to the streets of Toronto with displays of the new KD logo and free boxes of KD. And the name isn’t the only thing that’s changing. KD won’t be the same glowing orange colour as Kraft promised in April to remove artificial preservatives and synthetic colouring from its Kraft Dinner Original by the end of 2016.
Wife of dead officer says RCMP made her husband ‘scapegoat’ in death VANCOUVER — The wife of an RCMP officer who killed himself two years ago claims that her husband was used by the Mounties a scapegoat in the death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver’s airport in October 2007. In a statement of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court, Sheila Lemaitre said her husband, Pierre, was told he would lose his job if he tried to correct misinformation given to the media about the night Dziekanski died. The sergeant was the media relations officer who released information about the incident where the Polish immigrant was jolted with a police Taser and died on the floor of the arrivals area. The lawsuit claimed Lemaitre wanted to correct the information, but was ordered not to say anything. “As a result of this incorrect information, his immediate removal as RCMP spokesman, the subsequent public release of the private video ... he was brought into public contempt where he was accused in the public of being the ’RCMP liar’ and/or the RCMP spin doctor,” the statement said.
Stars of reality show Grand Benders face charges GRAND BEND, Ont. — Two stars of a former Canadian reality television show face charges in connection with a dispute in the southern Ontario community of Grand Bend. Police say 65-year-old Mickey Rapaport faces a charge of assault with a weapon while 28-year-old Justin Rapaport is charged with obstructing a peace officer. The father and son were stars of the show Grand Benders which aired on MTV Canada from 2012 to 2015, but is no longer in production. The two suspects are due to appear in court Aug. 31 to face the allegations against them.
Cairo court postpones verdict for Canadian journalist BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Mohamed Fahmy’s legal saga was drawn out further on Thursday as an Egyptian court abruptly postponed a much-anticipated verdict in his widely denounced terror trial. The Canadian journalist — who was first arrested 19 months ago — expressed frustration at the delay, which will now see him return to a Cairo court on Aug. 2. “It’s just mind boggling the way they continue to play with our emotions here,” Fahmy told The Canadian Press. “It’s very hard on everyone.” Fahmy said it took hours to get official word on the postponement. The first indication something was amiss came when the doors to the court remained closed even as he and members of the media waited to attend the proceedings. Officers then told the group to move to the other side of the street. “Suddenly we were just escorted away from the vicinity of the area and we were left there with no information at all,” he said. “We had no idea.” Fahmy said his lawyers have since confirmed that the case is expected to be back in court on Sunday, but there was speculation even that date could be pushed back as two judicial officials speaking on the condition of anonymity said the judge in the case was seriously ill. The delay means more anxious anticipation for Fahmy, who admitted a postponement of a verdict was not one of the outcomes he had prepared for. “I took a bag to court today with towels, a toothbrush, slippers...just in case I was sentenced,” he said. “This is how our life is so controlled by this ordeal... it’s just really, really stressful.” Canada’s minister of state for consular affairs said the government was calling on Egypt to use “all the tools at its disposal” to resolve Fahmy’s case.

Canadian Al-Jazeera English journalist Mohammed Fahmy, left, and his Egyptian colleague Baher Mohammed listen in a courtroom in Tora prison in Cairo, Egypt, on June 4, 2015. Egyptian judicial officials say a Cairo court has postponed the verdict in the retrial of three Al-Jazeera English reporters until Aug. 2. “We are deeply concerned over Mr. Fahmy’s current situation and disappointed by the continued delay in his trial,” Lynne Yelich said in a statement. “We ask that all branches of the Egyptian government work together in a concerted manner to address the situation of Mr. Fahmy.” The 41-year-old Fahmy’s troubles began in December 2013 when he was working as the Cairo bureau chief for Qatar-based satellite news broadcaster Al Jazeera English. He and two colleagues were abruptly arrested and charged with a slew of offences, including supporting the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, a banned organization affiliated with ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, and with fabricating footage to under-
mine the country’s national security. The trio maintained their innocence throughout, but after a trial which was internationally decried as a sham, they were found guilty and sentenced to prison terms. A successful appeal, however, led to a new trial being ordered. One of the three men — Australian Peter Greste — was suddenly allowed to leave Egypt before the fresh trial began, under a law which allows for the deportation of foreign nationals convicted of crimes. Fahmy gave up his dual Egyptian citizenship while behind bars in the hopes that he could follow the same path, but that didn’t happen. He was, however, granted bail in February shortly after his second trial got underway.
Detained pastor admits to ‘subversive plots’ BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — A South Korean news agency is reporting that an Ontario pastor detained in North Korea has confessed to “subversive plots” against the Communist state during a televised news conference. Yonhap says Rev. Hyeon Soo Lim of the Light Korean Presbyterian Church in Mississauga, Ont., is quoted by the Korean Central News Agency as saying he was “a servant of the U.S. imperialists and South Korean puppet group.” A church spokeswoman says Lim was on a humanitarian mission to North Korea when he was detained in early February. Lisa Pak says the 60-year-old Christian missionary left Canada on Jan. 27 with stops in South Korea and China before crossing into North Korea on Jan. 31. She says Lim’s family remains hopeful he will be released at some point, but didn’t want to comment on the reports of his alleged confessions. A Foreign Affairs spokeswoman says the government is “deeply con-
cerned” and continues to try to arrange consular access and a find resolution to his case. Assistance is difficult, however, because Canada has no diplomatic office in the Communist nation. At Thursday’s news conference, Lim reportedly said that he travelled to several parts of the country pretending to deliver aid, but his real purpose was “to build a base to overthrow the system of the country and create a religious state.” He then went on to apologize for his “indescribable treason.” Pak says the pastor has a deep love for the North Korean people, which is
the reason he has visited the country more than 100 times. Lim’s family has previously said that much of his work has focused on the impoverished country’s northeastern region of Rason. Pak said he has also helped out schools, an orphanage and a nursing home. Lim started the church nearly three decades ago, shortly after he immigrated from South Korea. He grew the congregation from about a dozen people in 1986 to more than 3,000 members today, Pak said. He also runs a smaller church in downtown Toronto that caters to young people, she said.

Debris offer clue to fate of Flight 370 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAINT-ANDRE, Reunion — A seacrusted wing part washed up on an island in the western Indian Ocean may be the first trace of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 since it vanished nearly a year and a half ago, and a tragic but finally solid clue to one of aviation’s most perplexing and expensive mysteries. Malaysia’s prime minister said Thursday the debris found on the French island of Reunion will be sent for investigation to the French city of Toulouse, hub of the European aviation industry. “We have had many false alarms before, but for the sake of the families who have lost loved ones, and suffered such heartbreaking uncertainty, I pray that we will find out the truth so that they may have closure and peace,” Najib Razak said on his personal blog. Najib promised to make any new information public quickly. Air safety investigators — one of them a Boeing investigator — have identified the component as a “flaperon” from the trailing edge of a Boeing 777 wing, a U.S. official said. Flight 370, which disappeared March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, is the only 777 known to be missing. The piece could help investigators figure out how the plane crashed, but whether it will help search crews pinpoint the rest of the wreckage is unclear, given the complexity of the currents in the southern Indian Ocean and the time that has elapsed since the plane disappeared.

French police officers carry a piece of debris from a plane in Saint-Andre, Reunion Island. Air safety investigators, one of them a Boeing investigator, have identified the component as a “flaperon” from the trailing edge of a Boeing 777 wing, a U.S. official said. Flight 370, which disappeared March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, is the only 777 known to be missing. “It’s the first real evidence that there is a possibility that a part of the aircraft may have been found,” said Australian Transport Minister Warren Truss, whose country is leading the search for the plane in a remote patch of ocean far off Australia’s west coast. “It’s too early to make that judgment,
but clearly we are treating this as a major lead.” Flight 370 had been travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, but investigators believe based on satellite data that the plane turned south into the Indian Ocean after vanishing from radar. If the wing part is from the Malay-

52-year-old and has bitten him on the left-hand side,” Lindsay told reporters at the tourist town of Ballina, 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of Evans Head. “He actually fought off the shark, we’re told, and has made it to shore with the help of that other surfer and passers-by,” he said. Beach walkers saved Ison’s life by using surfboard leg ropes as tourniquets to slow the bleeding before paramedics arrived, Lindsay said.
SYDNEY, Australia — A surfer was seriously injured as he repeatedly punched a shark that mauled him off the Australian east coast on Friday, less than a week after a fatal attack, police and a witness said. Craig Ison, 52, sustained significant wounds to his left leg and hand in the dawn attack at Evans Head, 550 kilometres (340 miles) north of Sydney, Detective Inspector Cameron Lindsay said. Ison was taken by ambulance to Lismore Base Hospital in serious but stable condition, police said. The attack comes after a similar one Saturday off the island state of Tasmania when recreational diver Damian Johnson, 46, became the second victim of a fatal shark attack in Australia this year when he was mauled by a suspected great white. In the latest attack, Ison saw the shark and raised the alarm while surfing with friend Geoff Hill, Lindsay said. “They then proceeded to try to paddle in from the ocean and ... it appears the shark has then attacked the
U.S. police pleads not guilty to murder in shooting of motorist during traffic stop CINCINNATI — A white U.S. police officer who shot a black motorist after stopping him over a missing license plate pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter. The July 19 death of 43-year-old Samuel DuBose in Cincinnati, Ohio,
comes amid months of national scrutiny of police dealings with AfricanAmericans, especially those killed by officers. Officer Ray Tensing, 25, appeared at his arraignment Thursday wearing a striped jail suit, with his hands cuffed behind him. When Judge Megan Shanahan set bond at $1 million, people in the courtroom audience cheered and the judge rebuked them. The judge rejected the defence attorney’s contention that Tensing wasn’t a flight risk. Tensing’s attorney Stewart Mathews said that there are two sides to the case and that the much-viewed body camera video of the stop can be interpreted differently from the prosecutor’s version. Mathews described Tensing, who is due back in court in August, as “very depressed” and “in shock at this point,” adding that Tensing has felt “like he’s been run over by a train from the state of the case and it continues.”

KABUL — The Taliban confirmed the death of longtime leader Mullah Mohammad Omar and appointed his successor Thursday, as a new round of peace talks was indefinitely postponed amid concerns over how committed the new leadership is to ending the militant group’s 14-year insurgency. The Afghan Taliban Shura, or Supreme Council, chose Mullah Omar’s deputy, Mullah Akhtar Mansoor, as its new leader, two Taliban figures told The Associated Press, saying the seven-member council had met in the Pakistani city of Quetta. Mansoor is considered close to Pakistani authorities who hosted peace talks earlier this month, and his election could widen an internal split between fighters who favour negotiations with the Afghan government and those who want to continue an insurgency that has gained speed following the end of the international combat mission last year. Mansoor has effectively commanded the movement for the three years since Mullah Omar’s previous deputy and co-founder of the movement, Mullah Abdul Baradar, was arrested by Pakistani authorities. Observers say he has

sian plane, it would bolster that theory and put to rest others that it travelled north, or landed somewhere after being hijacked. The wing piece is about 2 metres (6 feet) long. Investigators have found a number on the part, but it is not a serial or registration number, Truss said. It could be a maintenance number, which may help investigators figure out what plane it belongs to, he said. Flaperons are located on the rear edge of both wings, about midway between the fuselage and the tips. When the plane is banking, the flaperon on one wing tilts up and the other tilts down, which makes the plane roll to the left or right as it turns. French law enforcement authorities are on Reunion island to examine the piece, according to an official close to an investigation of the debris. A French law enforcement helicopter is scouring the waters around the island in hopes of spotting more debris, and U.S. investigators are examining a photo of the debris. The wing part was found on a desolate, rocky beach in the small town of Saint-Andre and was transferred to the civil aviation authority’s offices in the island’s main airport, a local police official said. The French and U.S. officials spoke on condition that they not be named because they aren’t authorized to speak publicly. France’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement Thursday that the piece is currently under the authority of French judicial officials who will cooperate with international authorities investigating the disappearance of MH370.

Kilgore wins senior championship BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Floyd Kilgore went into the final round of the Guardian Capital Senior Men’s Golf Championship at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club Thursday sitting in the shadows. After a disappointing six-over par 78 Wednesday the 2013 champion found himself five strokes out of the lead and playing in the third last threesome. But that didn’t bother the 60-year-old from Grimshaw. “We talked about it last night and it was a matter of just going out to play golf and try to put up a decent number and see what happens,” he said. All he did was shoot a four-under 68 and when the dust cleared he finished the 54-hole event at even par and three strokes ahead of the rest of the field. Howard Broun of Calgary’s Earl Grey layout, had an even-par 72 and moved into a tie for second with second-round co-leader David Schultz of Calgary’s Country Hills, who fired a 76 Thursday. The trio will represent Alberta in the team competition at the Canadian Senior Championship, Sept. 1-4 at Desert Blume in Medicine Hat. Jim Russell, who won the Alberta title in 2011, went into the final round tied for first, but a six-over 78 left him fourth at 222. Kilgore, who tied for fourth last year, shot a bogey free final round, with birdies on the par-4 eighth and ninth holes as well as the par-4 11th and par-5 16th. “I was able to keep it in play and I putted very well,” he said. “I had a few shots that came up a bit short, but I made the comebackers. That’s the key to scoring well.” Putting is usually a strength for Kilgore, which helped considering how pure the RDGCC greens played this week. “They were pure and if you had the line you could roll in a few,” said Kilgore, who didn’t mind not being in the final group. “There’s some pressure on the guys in that last group. Being in front of them it was a matter of putting up the best score and seeing what happens.” The only small disappointment for Kilgore was the fact defending champion Frank Van Dornick of Camrose wasn’t able to attend because of a few

Eskimos defence wary of Brett Smith EDMONTON TAKES NOTHING FOR GRANTED AGAINST 0-5 RIDERS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

B.C. Lions’ A.C.Leonard (88) can’t haul in the touchdown pass with Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ Demond Washington (7) in tight pursuit during the first half of CFL action in Winnipeg Thursday.
Drew Willy leads Blue Bombers past Lions BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Bombers 23 Lions 13 WINNIPEG — Drew Willy passed for 269 yards and two touchdowns on an injured knee as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers snapped a two-game losing skid with a 23-13 victory over the B.C. Lions on Thursday night. Willy, who injured his right knee in a loss to Edmonton last Saturday, ran five times for ran 72 yards and completed 17 of 25 pass attempts with no interceptions. Bombers kicker Lirim Hajrullahu was good on field goals from 19, 20 and 26 yards and both his convert attempts to help Winnipeg even its record to 3-3. Travis Lulay was 22-of-33 for 254 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions as the Lions (2-3) lost their second straight game. Bombers rookie receiver Justin Veltung, replacing injured Nick Moore, scored his first CFL touchdown with an eight-yard catch. Winnipeg also got a 56-yard touchdown reception from Darvin Adams. He finished with four catches for 127 yards. Courtney Taylor caught a 17-yard throw for B.C.’s lone TD. Lions rookie Richie Leone kicked field goals from 23 and 22 yards, keeping him perfect on all 12 field goals he’s attempted this season. He was also good on his convert. B.C. led 7-0 after the first quarter and 10-7 at halftime. The Lions opening drive took up more than half the first quarter, with Taylor capping off a 14-play, 95-yard march. Willy was part of a seven-play, 78-yard drive that led to Veltung’s second quarter touchdown at 4:13. With the convert, it was 7-7.
Blue Bombers linebacker Sam Hurl had his first CFL interception off a tipped ball, but Winnipeg’s offence couldn’t capitalize — despite an 11-yard run by Willy where he was stopped head-on instead of sliding. B.C. settled for Leone’s 23-yard field goal with 1:44 left in the first half after they were called for offensive pass interference and facing third down and five. Willy ran three times for 54 yards in the first half, more than his running backs Paris Cotton (11 yards) and Cameron Marshall (seven yards). Andrew Harris had 16 carries for 83 yards in B.C.’s first half of production. He finished with a career-high 24 carries for 117 yards. Troy Stoudermire helped set up Adams’ touchdown 36 seconds into the third quarter after he took a kickoff 44 yards. On the next play, Willy sailed the ball to Adams, who eluded two defenders for his 56-yard catch-andrun score and 14-10 lead. Winnipeg made it 17-10 at 11:01 of the third and got the ball right back when cornerback Johnny Adams stretched out in front of receiver Manny Arceneneaux to intercept a throw. The Bombers ended up turning the ball over on downs and B.C. copied on its next series. Hajrullahu’s 20-yarder at 3:26 of the fourth doubled Winnipeg’s lead to 20-10 and Leone kicked his 22-yarder with just under six minutes left in the game. Hajrullahu made it 23-13 with his 26-yarder and defensive back Demond Washington intercepted Lulay with 1:55 to help seal the victory.

EDMONTON — Eskimos head coach Chris Jones said third-string Saskatchewan quarterback Brett Smith made Edmonton “look pretty silly” in the CFL pre-season. So when Smith leads the FRANKLIN SHINING 0-5 Roughriders into CommonAFTER FIGURING HE wealth Stadium on Friday, the Eskimos and their top-ranked WAS FINISHED B5 defence will take nothing for granted. “That’s a really dangerous scenario with him because he’s going to come in with nothing to lose,” said Edmonton linebacker JC Sherritt. “And athletically, what he can do, makes him a very dangerous player.” Edmonton defence will have to play physical against Saskatchewan’s No. 1 ranked running game anchored by Jerome Messam, who leads the CFL with 566 rushing yards. “They have two great big backs we have to tackle, probably the best offensive line we’ve seen thus far,” said Jones. “They’ve got a young quarterback but they also have a lot of people around him who are very good. We have to do a good job of stopping the run and putting them in a second-and-long situations.” On the other side of the ball an Eskimos defence that ranks in the top three in most of the categories. Defensive lineman Eddie Steele said it’s a unit which can be intimidating to opposing offences. “Yeah, I would like to think so. The stats don’t lie,” he said. “We’re up there in almost all the (defensive) categories so it’s a pretty fierce defence to go against.” After losing their opening game 26-11 to Toronto Argonauts, the Eskimos have won three straight, outscoring their opponents 101-32. Their defence has surrendered just one touchdown over those games. “We don’t talk about that stuff so much,” said Steele. “We’re just lining up and doing our job and our philosophy is we’re not going got let them score a point on us and that’s what we’re trying to accomplish every time.” The Edmonton defence has done an excellent job of that so far, giving up 20 points in their two home game this season. In their last four regular-season home games dating back to last season, they have won by a combined score of 156-32. It is only the second time any CFL team has won four in a row at home by a margin of at least 29 points in each game. Still, even going against a third-string quarterback, Steele said the defence won’t go all-out to pressure Smith and make him uncomfortable. “Absolutely not. They’re a much better football team than that,” he said. “If you look at all the stats, they’re the best offence in the CFL hands down, the best running team, the best net yardage team, they have the most touchdowns so we have our work cut out for us.” Sherritt said the Eskimos are fully aware of the Riders potential, calling them the “best 0-5 team I’ve seen up here.” “As a defence you want to play against the best and offensively they are the best,” he said. “I don’t care what their record is. You couldn’t ask for a better matchup.”

Three homers help Jays best Royals BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 5 Royals 2 TORONTO — Marco Estrada wasn’t at all distracted by the Blue Jays’ acquisition of David Price when he took the mound on Thursday night. He didn’t even know about it until he got to the park that afternoon. “I don’t really read anything the day I pitch, I just kind of relax at home so I had no idea until I got here,� Estrada said after pitching 5 2/3 effective innings to help Toronto to a 5-2 victory over the American League best Kansas City Royals. “They had the TV on and it showed that we picked up David Price and it’s a big boost. I didn’t really think about it. ... but I’m extremely excited to have a guy like that on this team.� Josh Donaldson, Russell Martin and Dioner Navarro each hit home runs and Jose Bautista hit a sacrifice fly for the Blue Jays (52-51), hours after the team drastically improved its starting rotation by acquiring Price from Detroit in exchange for a trio of pitching prospects. The move, which came at the expense of losing top prospect Daniel Norris, took place two days after GM Alex Anthopoulos added shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and 42-year-old reliever LaTroy Hawkins from Colorado. “It’s exciting, man,� Navarro said of the mood in the clubhouse. “You get all-stars in Tulowitzki and Price and it doesn’t get any better than that. “They’ve been doing a great job in the front office and we’re excited with what we’ve got.� Estrada (8-6), who gave up two runs on three hits while fanning three, enjoyed a radically different outing from

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marco Estrada works against the Kansas City Royals during first inning AL baseball action in Toronto on Thursday. his last start, in which he lasted just four innings in a loss to Seattle. The right-hander said he slowed down his delivery “just a tad� against the Royals. His only real blemish came in the first inning, when he gave up two runs on a double to Kendrys Morales. “Even in the first I thought I made some decent pitches,� Estrada said. “With the double to Morales, I threw him a pretty good change-up. I thought it was down, it almost hit the ground and he smoked it for a double. He’s a
good hitter. ... “After that I just kept doing the same thing over and over and it started going my way but I don’t think much changed from the first inning on.� Estrada had retired 15 straight batters following Morales’ double in the first and left the game after giving up a two-out single in the sixth. Brett Cecil finished the inning with a ground out. Hawkins, in his second appearance for Toronto, gave up back-to-back twoout singles in the seventh before strik-
ing out Jarrod Dyson. Aaron Sanchez worked a scoreless eighth and Roberto Osuna pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his sixth save of the season. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said he’s glad to have his bullpen shaping up the way he envisioned it. “It makes it easier on the manager, that’s for sure,� he said with a chuckle. Lefty Danny Duffy (4-5) gave up five runs over six innings for the Royals (61-40). “I just didn’t make pitches when I needed to,� Duffy said. “They capitalized excellently on every single one of my mistakes.� Kansas City tried to squash the euphoria of the Price trade early, scoring twice in the first inning. But Bautista got one back for the Blue Jays in the bottom of the frame with a sac fly, plating Tulowitzki from third base. Navarro’s home run made it 3-2 for Toronto in the second inning. Kevin Pillar led off with a bloop single to right before Navarro crushed a 2-1 offering from Duffy into the left-field seats. “I knew I needed to be aggressive,� Navarro said. “I’m just trying to take advantage of every opportunity that I get. I think it was a big part of the game but solid work by Estrada was the No. 1 thing.� Martin extended the lead to 4-2 with a solo homer in the third and Donaldson added another run in the fourth with a monster shot to the second-deck seats in left field. NOTES: Toronto continues its fourgame series against Kansas City on Friday night. RHP Drew Hutchison (9-2, 5.42 earned-run average) will start for the Blue Jays while RHP Johnny Cueto (7-6, 2.62 ERA) is expected to make his Royals debut.
Jays acquire former Cy Young winner Price TORONTO — Josh Donaldson can hardly believe the moves the Toronto Blue Jays were able to pull off this week. After trading for all-star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki on Tuesday, Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos was at it again Thursday, adding former Cy Young winner David Price from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for a trio of prospects. Speaking to media before Thursday’s game against the Kansas City Royals, Donaldson gushed about the new-look roster. “It feels like you’re almost playing fantasy baseball, you know what I mean?� the Blue Jays third baseman said with a smile before reverting back to his typically more serious tone. “With that being said, you have to go out there and you still have to win games.� The Blue Jays were two games back of Minnesota for the second American League wild-card spot when they secured Price, the 2012 AL Cy Young

GOLF: Made the cut Kilgore hasn’t won the nationals, but has made the cut when he did attend. “It’s always great and something I’m looking forward to. The Desert Blume course is a great test of golf and it will be interesting.� Dave Crowshaw of Calgary Glencoe had a 77 and was fifth at 223, one stroke up on Frank Mackenzie of Edmonton Glendale, who had a 75. Tom Skinner of the host RDGCC led the local contingent, finishing seventh
winner, in Thursday’s deal that sent left-handed pitching prospects Daniel Norris, Matt Boyd and Jairo Labourt to Detroit. While rumours had circulated for days that Price could be available ahead of the July 31 non-waiver deadline, the move still shocked the Toronto clubhouse. “I had seen on social media that they were getting close and I was like, ’I’m not going to believe it just yet,�’ Donaldson said. “Then when I saw it was confirmed I was very happy because you know what a guy like that brings to the table. “He’s one of those guys who’s a front-of-the-line starter who’s going to help the ball club in more ways than one.� Toronto manager John Gibbons had a similar reaction. “The rumours were out there and Alex mentioned to me (Wednesday) night, ’hey we’ve got a shot at this guy and I’m going for it,’ but when he told me it happened I thought ’you’re screwing with me,’ Gibbons said. �He’s that type of player, there’s not many of them out there, so you really never ex-
pect it to happen.“ Price, who is set to become a free agent at the end of this season, is 9-4 this season with a 2.53 earned-run average. In his career, the left-hander is 95-55 with a 3.13 ERA and 1,285 strikeouts in 1,367 1/3 innings. Anthopoulos, who said Thursday that the Blue Jays hadn’t had a clear No. 1 starter like Price since Roy Halladay, also spoke about his club’s enthusiasm for the move. The Blue Jays’ general manager said slugger Jose Bautista was among those who reached out to him to ask if the rumours were true. “I said yes, and he just wrote ’yes’ with about a million exclamation marks,� Anthopoulos said. The week’s moves provided a stark contrast to the Blue Jays’ lack of action at last year’s deadline, which led to Bautista and then closer Casey Janssen voicing their concerns publicly. Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey admitted that that lack of action had a negative impact on last year’s team. This time, the 40-year-old expects the acquisitions of Tulowitzki and Price will have a positive psychological effect.
at 225 following a final round 75. Eric Brodie of the RDGCC and John Russell of the Elks Club of Calgary both shot a final round 74 and tied for eighth at 226. The RDGCC’s Merv Dusyk (78) and Kelly Risling of Desert Blume (77) tied for 10th at 227 while Pete Duncan (77) and Ken Evanecz (80), both of the RDGCC, were in a four-way tie for 12th at 228. Keith Newton of Olds (75) tied for 16th at 229 while Dale Bingham of the RDGCC (77) was tied for 26th at 232. Bob Mullen of Red Deer had a final round 77 and tied for 29th at 233 while Les Swelin of Sundre had an 84 and finished in a tie for 59th at 244. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

“Just like I’m a believer that the opposite can happen when you don’t make a move, you can often see teams kind of tank — I think we were victim of that last year as a matter of fact,� Dickey said. “I don’t know how you quantify it but I certainly think it gives us a big boost in morale.� “It’s a huge add,� Dickey added. “You’re getting the total package with this guy.� Price will slot into the rotation ahead of Dickey, Drew Hutchison, Mark Buehrle and Marco Estrada. His next scheduled start is Sunday, which would coincide with the last game of the four-game series against the AL-best Royals, but Gibbons said he could start him Monday, the first day of a crucial four-game set against the Twins. Regardless of when Price makes his Toronto debut, his new teammates are looking forward to seeing him in a Blue Jays uniform — and the significance of what that represents. “I’ll say this: it’s not deflating when they don’t make a move, but it gives you that much more energy when they do,� said Tulowitzki.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, July 31, 2015 B5
Rousey eager to embarrass Franklin shining after Brazil’s Correia in Rio figuring he was finished ing his bat at the fence, Rousey is confident she could call her shot. The only problem is that Rousey’s mother disapproves. “She chewed me out,” Rousey said. “She wants me to end it as quick as possible still. I promised her that I’m going to be fine. I’m not going to take any damage.” So Rousey hasn’t decided exactly what she’ll do when the cage door closes, but there aren’t many people left who doubt she can do whatever she wants. Rousey is an overwhelming favourite against Correia, whose best chance seems to be one big punch and a prayer. Rousey doesn’t shy away from the role of favourite. With an upcoming role in a Mark Wahlberg film and a soaring international popularity, she welcomes the spotlight with confidence. “Here’s pretty much the plan: I’m going to beat up Bethe,” Rousey said. “Then I’m going to take a couple of weeks to rest. And then I’m going to go beat up Miesha (Tate, her likely next opponent). And then I’m going to go to Thailand, or wherever we decide to film. I’m going to prep for a month and start filming for eight to 10 weeks, and then go beat up the next chick. That’s pretty much my plan.” Correia has kept up her tough talk in recent weeks, although the words sometimes feel like a negotiation. She has publicly asked Rousey to stick to a stand-up fight instead of using her peerless judo skills, insisting Rousey should “really fight a straight MMA fight.”
UFC 190 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Calif. — Ronda Rousey is in charge now. The unbeaten bantamweight champion is the biggest star in the UFC, and she could have staged her next title defence anywhere in the world before she moves on to her next acting job or book tour stop or redcarpet appearance. Rousey decided to fight Brazilian challenger Bethe Correia in a raucous arena at UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night. Challenges don’t scare Rousey. They’re what keep her rocketing along this wild path. “When I don’t have the home-court advantage, that’s another thing that really keeps me motivated,” said Rousey, who hasn’t fought outside Las Vegas or her native Southern California in three years. “I want the fans to know that even though I’m doing a lot of things, I want to be the most active champion out there as well.” Rousey’s journey to Rio is a multifaceted decision designed to reach her goals — just like nearly everything she does. After travelling the world during her Olympic judo career, she was eager to fight in front of Brazil’s famously intense fans. And after the trash-talking Correia infuriated her with a flippant comment apparently referencing Rousey’s father’s suicide, Rousey decided to beat Correia in the most painful, humiliating way possible, which meant fighting in Correia’s home. TRAVEL WITH “I think everything up until the suicide comment could have been “because we care” understandable from a marketing point of view,” PAY FOR 5 Rousey said. “But when CASINO DAY TRIPS she said that is when it TH - 6 DAY TRIP IS FREE really crossed the line and became truly personYELLOWHEAD CASINO al for me.” EDMONTON So Rousey (11-0) spent Tues.

Like Babe Ruth point-
reer in the NFL with the Baltimore Colts. “My faith is the thing that kept me from being bitter,” said Willie in an interview from Texas. Willie, an evangelical minister, said for him sports was never the end goal, but a means to help his mom and siblings get off welfare, avoid crushing poverty in San Diego, and try to heal a family tree riven by alcoholism. Willie cleaned restaurants in junior college, subsisting on Snickers and the leavings off customers’ plates. He went out for wrestling because he was told they’d feed him on the road. Try out for track? Will they feed me? Yes. He set an OU record for javelin that still stands, and was All-American in track and football. James grew up the youngest sibling to three athletic sisters in Missouri. He was five-foot-seven and 185 pounds in Grade 4 and 200 pounds by Grade 6, said Willie. James started out playing baseball. He had a wicked fastball, hitting 87 mph on the gun in middle school. James excelled at many sports but said by Grade 4 he was drawn to football and the “the physicality of it.” The family moved to Texas. Willie pushed his son to excel. They would do pushups while watching football on TV. By high school, father and son did 5,000 jump ropes a day, 2,000 push ups every night. James was a beast on the field. On one running play he knocked off a couple of defenders’ helmets, earning him the nickname “Tank.”
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — James Franklin, fresh off wowing the CFL with three TD passes in under 20 minutes last week, won’t start at quarterback Friday against the Saskatchewan Roughriders. That’s fine with him. He’s just surprised he’s an Edmonton Eskimo at all — especially after head coach Chris Jones delivered to him football’s version of the kiss of death. It was a few months ago, said Franklin in an interview, after an Eskimos tryout camp in Nebraska. “He (Jones) talked about (me) possibly pursuing indoor football to develop my skills, things like that,” said Franklin in an interview. “I just kind of got a feel like, ’OK there’s no way I’m on this team.’ “Then I get a call a week or two later.” That call was an escape ramp off the end of road for the 24-year-old who, like his father Willie, had been tossed on football’s scrap heap for not going along. Willie Franklin, now 65, was a rising talent at Oklahoma University until coaches found out in 1971 he was also going out for track and field. Willie wasn’t serious about OU Football, they said, so they dumped him on the scout team, tried to run him off the squad. Only a four-touchdown performance in the alumni game caught the eye of pro scout and a led to a four-game ca-

Oilpatch pains persists CENOVUS TO CUT 300 TO 400 MORE JOBS THIS YEAR BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Cenovus Energy says 300 to 400 workers will be let go from its Calgary office by year end as hopes for a quick recovery in oil prices evaporate. The cuts announced Thursday are on top of 800 positions Cenovus eliminated in February. “It is always difficult when we have to let good staff members go. We take these decisions very seriously,” CEO Brian Ferguson told analysts on a conference call. “These workforce reductions are directly related to a more focused pace of work in response to the continued low price environment.” A rebound in crude prices to around the US$60 a barrel mark in May and June proved to be short lived. U.S. benchmark crude prices have been below US$50 a barrel in recent weeks, about half of what it fetched a year earlier. In addition to the head office jobs, the oil producer is also looking to trim its workforce in the field in early 2016.
The reduction is expected to save Cenovus about $100 million annually, on top of the $280 million in cost savings it is already targeting for this year. Cenovus (TSX:CVE) is also reducing its quarterly dividend by 40 per cent to 16 cents a share. The company has “stress tested” its financial strength at US$50 oil prices through 2017 and believes it can fund its new dividend and invest in its operations without harming its balance sheet. The company posted an 80 per cent reduction in net earnings for the second quarter to $126 million from $615 million a year earlier. Meanwhile, global energy giant Royal Dutch Shell PLC said it expects to have cut 6,500 positions by the end of this year. Some 700 of those cuts have been in Shell’s Canadian heavy oil business, affecting both staff and contractors, said Shell Canada spokesman Cameron Yost. The roughly 300 positions eliminated at Shell’s oilsands mining operations earlier this year are included in that figure. Oilsands giant Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) says it has reduced its headcount by about 1,300 this year. Late Wednesday, Suncor announced it would be
paring a further $400 million from this year’s budget to between $5.8 billion and $6.4 billion. It’s the second time this year Suncor has slashed its budget. In January it announced it would reduce its budget by $1 billion to between $6.2 billion and $6.8 billion. CEO Steve Williams told a conference call there’s not much room for more cuts this year. “This is not slashing and burning. One of the issues with slashing and burning capital budgets is it comes with a price later. So it’s been a very measured reduction where we’re still getting the maintenance on the plants we want, where we’re still getting the growth projects we want fully funded,” he said. “So it’s a grinding process of working these costs out through individual contract-type negotiations. So you’ve seen the majority of it. It’s possible you could see even more deflation as the year goes on, but our work program is largely fixed, contracted and in place now.” Suncor netted $729 million during the second quarter, compared to $211 million a year earlier, which it booked impairment charges.

NATIONAL ENERGY BOARD
NEB review of Trans Mountain expansion faces challenges BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The National Energy Board is facing a fresh round of resistance to its embattled review of the proposed Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Three separate parties — British Columbia’s Opposition New Democrats, the City of Burnaby and the Sierra Club — all issued renewed challenges to the process on Thursday. The NDP submitted its letter of comment to the board to outline concerns with the risks of the project and flaws in the review, concluding the expansion should not proceed. “Having watched this process unfold for many months now, we can only conclude that the NEB assessment process of this particular project is fundamentally flawed and broken,” reads the letter, signed by leader John Horgan and environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert. Kinder Morgan hopes to triple the bitumen-carrying capacity of the Trans Mountain line by laying almost 1,000 kilometres of new pipe between Edmonton and Metro Vancouver, increasing the number of tankers in Burrard Inlet to 34 from the current five per month. The strongly-worded letter from B.C.’s opposition party details four major concerns with the NEB process, including that it lacks the public’s confidence, doesn’t consider climate change, hasn’t required Kinder Morgan to disclose its emergency response plans and failed to ensure First Nations were on board. Meantime, the City of Burnaby sent a letter to the NEB refusing to provide extra policing services for the upcoming Trans Mountain hearings in September. The board had asked for seven officers and one supervisor. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the city has limited police resources to serve its own needs, and has asked the NEB to make other arrangements with the RCMP’s head office in B.C. “We are also extremely concerned that the NEB has come into Burnaby and is doing things that we know are going to be provocative,” he said. “They’re not allowing people to come to their hearing. They’re only going to allow the interveners in two at a time. You can imagine how that’s going to affect the public who want to see and hear what’s going on.” NEB spokeswoman Tara O’Donovan said the hearing is not meant to be an open forum for the public, but rather an opportunity for interveners to present their oral summary arguments. “The hearing panel recognizes that there is significant public interest in the proceedings and has decided to live webcast oral summary arguments in both official languages,” she said. O’Donovan added the NEB would have paid for Burnaby RCMP officers to assist at the hearing. She said the board respects Burnaby’s decision and is now considering other options. The NEB is due to release draft conditions for the pipeline on Aug. 12. The board is also under fire for changing a deadline for letters of comment on these conditions. It initially changed the deadline from July 23 to Sept. 3, but this week it issued a new deadline of Aug. 18, giving opponents just six days to respond. Sierra Club spokeswoman Larissa Stendie called the NEB handling of the pipeline review process “chaotic,” “deeply flawed,” and “unfair.” O’Donovan said the date was initially changed in response to an extension request from the City of Chilliwack. Previously, commenters were expected to file their letters before the draft conditions were released, she said. She said the deadline was changed to give time for interveners and Trans Mountain to respond to letters in their written submissions. Trans Mountain must file its argument by Aug. 20, and interveners must file by Sept. 3. O’Donovan said letter writers can request an extension and apologized for any inconvenience.

Uranium miner Cameco reports second-quarter profit down from year ago BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SASKATOON — The head of Cameco Corp. (TSX:CCO) says the uranium market is set to improve as the company reported a 31 per cent drop in quarterly earnings. Cameco chief executive Tim Gitzel said uranium prices were flat in the first half of the year, but he expects continued low prices will mean a better uranium market in the future. “In the current low price environment it’s difficult to justify the economics of projects, which is leading to deferrals or even cancellations,” said Gitzel in a conference call with analysts and investors. “Each of these new challenges to supply means a widening of the gap between supply and demand which we know is coming.” He said while mines are being deferred, demand is set to improve, with 64 reactors under construction globally and 25 nuclear plants in Japan having applied to restart. “That tells us it’s still game on for nuclear in Japan, even if the process is taking longer than everyone thought,” said Gitzel.

He said of those Japanese reactors, five have made it through regulatory safety reviews and two are expected to start later this year. Cameco reported its earnings dropped to $88 million in the latest quarter, down from $127 million a year ago. The uranium miner says profit amounted to 22 cents per share in the quarter ended June 30, compared with a profit of 32 cents per share a year ago. Revenue improved to $565 million, up from $502 million. On an adjusted basis, the company said it earned $46 million or 12 cents per share, down from $79 million or 20 cents per share a year ago. Cameco said the drop was due to higher administrative costs and a $28-million boost last year from a favourable settlement related to a dispute regarding a long-term supply contract with a utility. Those changes were partially offset by higher gross profit from its uranium and fuel services segments and settlement costs last year related to the early redemption of some of its debentures. During the quarter, Cameco suspended uranium shipments from its northern Saskatchewan operations as wildfires made road conditions dangerous, but Gitzel said those shipments have resumed and operations were not affected by the fires.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto Stock Exchange ended the day higher on Thursday, helped by strength in the energy stocks as some big names in the sector announced plans to cut costs in releasing their quarterly results. The S&P/TSX composite index gained 80.98 points to 14,382.78 as Suncor Energy said it plans to cut its capital spending and Cenovus Energy slashed its dividend and announced job cuts. Roland Chalupka, chief investment officer of Fiduciary Trust Canada, a unit of Franklin Templeton Investments, said investors are looking for oil company earnings to improve in the third quarter as the year-overyear comparison begins to reflect the slide in oil prices that began in July 2014. “Oil investors have been punished in recent months and I think this is a little bit of some-
what unexpected good news that the worst is over,” he said. Cenovus said in its earnings report on Thursday that it will cut 300 to 400 workers from its Calgary office, on top of 800 positions it eliminated in February, as well as reduce its dividend by 40 per cent. Suncor said it will trim capital spending by $400 million for the year as it announced its quarterly results on Thursday. The energy sector of the TSX gained 0.94 per cent on the day. The price of oil has fallen by more than half since this time last year. In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average fell 5.41 points to 17,745.98, while the Nasdaq climbed 17.05 points to 5,128.78 and the S&P 500 slipped 0.06 points to 2,108.63. The loonie fell 0.4 of a cent to 76.86 cents U.S. as the greenback gained strength from positive economic data.

The Canadian dollar could hold steady at this rate as long as economic growth stays relatively in line with American results, he said, but the spread could widen as the U.S. central bank looks to raise interest rates in the fall.

Canadian gold miners trim costs, prices could drop BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
U.S. RATE HIKE
TORONTO — Canadian gold miners say they’re taking a careful look at their expenses and streamlining their operations as a looming interest rate hike from the U.S. Federal Reserve threatens to send the price of the precious metal lower. “Our job and our strategy is to manage the company to thrive regardless of what price environment we find ourselves in,” Charles Jeannes, president and CEO of Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G), said during a conference call with investors Thursday. “Our focus continues to be on what we can control: our costs. And at a time of flat or declining metals prices, that’s how we must protect our margins.” The price of gold has lost roughly 40 per cent of its value since 2011, leaving miners scrambling to reduce how much they spend to produce each ounce. On Thursday, December gold futures closed at US$1,088.70, down $4.60 from the previous close. The decline is likely to get even steeper as the Fed begins to raise interest rates, increasing confidence in the U.S. economy and spurring investors to ditch safe havens like precious metals in favour of U.S. dollars. The central bank is expected to announce a rate hike this fall, although BMO Capital Markets analyst
Andrew Kaip says it’s possible the rate hike is already baked into the price of the precious metal. “We’re going to see what the market’s response is on the day that the Fed announces that they’re increasing the rate,” Kaip said. Goldcorp slashed its monthly dividend to two cents per share, from five cents earlier, as it reported its second-quarter profit more than doubled compared with a year ago, boosted by the sale of its stake in Tahoe Resources. The Vancouver-based company said it earned US$392 million or 47 cents per share in the second quarter, up from $181 million or 22 cents per share during the same period last year. Revenue grew to $1.19 billion, up from $884 million a year ago. But excluding the sale of its Tahoe Resources shares and its Arturo mine project as well as other one-time items, Goldcorp said it earned an adjusted profit of $65 million or eight cents per share, compared with $164 million or 20 cents per share a year ago. The company attributed the drop to a number of factors including lower prices for gold and byproduct metals and higher production costs due to a slower ramp-up at its Eleonore mine in Quebec.

Home Capital suspends 45 mortgage brokers
ed details about the suspensions and its investigation in a news release after markets closed Wednesday. The Ontario Securities Commission had requested the information be released. The company says it is actively monitoring the mortgages in question and that it is unlikely the loans will result in credit losses. Home Capital says it launched the investigation after it received a tip from an external source. The suspensions occurred between September 2014 and March 2015. The company says it has also conducted a broader investigation and determined that income falsification is not a widespread issue across its portfolio of mortgage loans.
after markets closed on Wednesday, swung to a loss of US$83.2 million or seven cents per share during the second quarter, from a profit of $46 million or four cents per share a year ago. However, the company said it’s ready to weather the storm of the declining gold price, with a number of initiatives underway to prune its expenses. The cost-cutting theme was echoed by Agnico Eagle (TSX:AEM), which reported second-quarter net income of US$10.1 million or five cents per share after markets closed on Wednesday. That’s down from $22.2 million or 12 cents per share a year ago. Kaip says that although things may look bleak for the gold miners, many of them still have room to whittle down their expenses. “Sure, earnings are down year-over-year, and you would expect that,” said Kaip. “But these businesses are still doing a reasonably good job, from an operating perspective, in generating cash flow.” Looking ahead, Kaip says the U.S. dollar will eventually weaken, which will provide some reprieve for the gold price and miners. Meanwhile, Jeannes says long-term trends, such as economic growth in Asia, support the price of the commodity will rise. “The bottom line is that we’re confident we can successfully weather any conceivable gold price environment,” said Jeannes.

El Nino’s multi-billion-dollar fluctuation GODSEND FOR CALIFORNIA, DISASTER FOR PERU, INDONESIA BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mohaddes, an economist at the University of Cambridge in London. The expected El Nino drought in parts of Australia has started and may trim as much as 1 per cent off of the country’s GDP, said Andrew Watkins, supervisor of climate prediction services at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Tony Barnston, lead El Nino forecaster at the International Research Institute for Climate and Society at Columbia University, cautioned that while El Nino has predictable effects and this one is strong, what happens next is not exactly certain. But Peruvians are worried. Abraham Levy, director of Ambiental Andina, which advises businesses on meteorology- and hydrology-related issues, believes this El Nino could lead Peru into recession. Important export crops such as mangos and asparagus that grow in coastal valleys are already being adversely affected by the high temperatures, said
Levy. And then there’s the flooding. Peru declared a pre-emptive state of emergency this month for 14 of its 25 states, appropriating some $70 million to prepare. Hipolito Cruchaga, the civil defence director in Peru’s northern region of Piura, said authorities are clearing river beds of debris, reinforcing river banks with rock and fortifying reservoir walls. Sandbags and rocks are also being piled on some river banks. “If the sea stays this hot at the end of August I’m afraid we’re doomed,” he said.

WASHINGTON — In California, they’re counting on it to end an historic drought; in Peru, they’ve already declared a pre-emptive emergency to prepare for devastating flooding. It’s both an economic stimulus and a recession-maker. And it’s likely to increase the price of coffee, chocolate and sugar. It’s El Nino — most likely, the largest in well over a decade, forecasters say. A lot more than mere weather, it affects lives and pocketbooks in different ways in different places. Every few years, the winds shift and the water in the Pacific Ocean gets warmer than usual. That water sloshes back and forth around the equator in the Pacific, interacts with the winds above and then changes weather worldwide. This is El Nino. Droughts are triggered in places like Australia and India, but elsewhere, droughts are quenched and floods replace them. The Pacific gets more hurricanes; the Atlantic fewer. Winter gets milder and wetter in much of the United States. The world warms, goosing Earth’s already rising thermometer from man-made climate change.

Museum summer students recognized YOUNG CANADA WORKS AND CANADA SUMMER JOBS PROGRAM BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

BRIEFS Rocky RCMP warn public about thefts from vehicles Over a four-month period, the Rocky Mountain House RCMP detachment has received more than 150 reports of vehicle related thefts. In a Thursday release, Mounties said between April and July this year they have received reports of incidents of either vehicle thefts or thefts of the valuables inside vehicles. Of those thefts about eight per cent left their keys in their vehicles and nearly all the vehicles were not locked when the thefts occurred. Most of the incidents were reported in the early morning hours and typically involved the theft of cash, electronics, vehicle documents or other valuables. Police would like to remind residents to lock their vehicles. Over the next month, Rocky Mountain House RCMP and Rocky Community Peace Officers will randomly examine vehicles to see if they are secure. Vehicle owners will be notified of the officer’s findings by way of a check list left with their vehicle. Police also recommend the following tips to maintain a secure vehicle: ● Never leave your vehicle running and unattended. ● Always roll up windows and lock doors. ● Do not leave valuables in your vehicle and/or in plain view. ● Keep a copy of registration and proof of insurance with you — not in your vehicle. ● Always park in a well-lit area. ● Report any damage/suspicious activity to police.

Pair accused of armed robbery plead not guilty Two youths accused of an armed robbery in Blackfalds last February have pleaded not guilty, setting a trial for early next year. The two, aged 15 and 17, can’t be named because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act. Crown Prosecutor Carolyn Ayre told judge Bert Skinner Thursday in Red Deer youth court, that the trial for both of them on charges of armed robbery would take roughly one day. Defence counsel Paul Morigeau, for the 15-yearold, and Michael Scrase, for the 17-year-old, entered the pleas and agreed to the Jan. 26, 2016 trial date. The charges stem from a Feb. 22 armed robbery at Mia’s Pizzeria and were arrested in March after an investigation by the Blackfalds and Red Deer RCMP Priority Crime Task Force.
Decision on where armed robber will serve sentence delayed A disagreement on whether a youth convicted of eight armed robberies should serve his sentence in jail or in the community postponed a decision for two weeks. The Blackfalds teen, aged 17, pleaded guilty to the armed robberies earlier this year. He can’t be named because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act. Represented by defence counsel Walter Kubanek, the teen was scheduled for sentencing Thursday in Red Deer youth court. However, reports developed to help guide sentencing were only given to the defence Thursday morning. The result of a pre-sentence report and a psychiatric evaluation are at the centre of the contested sentencing. Kubanek cited a recommendation of open custody, allowing the youth to serve his sentence in the community, in one of the report. However, Crown Prosecutor Carolyn Ayre said she will seek a two-year in-custody sentence. He pleaded guilty to eight robberies in Blackfalds and Red Deer between October 2014 and February 2015 on April 30 in Red Deer youth court. He admitted to robbing the 2A Liquor Store, the

Tea cups were raised in a toast on Wednesday to recognize 18 students working at Central Alberta museums this summer. Wetaskiwin MP Blaine Calkins hosted the second annual Summer Student Tea held at Morrison House Café in Lacombe for the students in Lacombe, Alix, Ponoka, Millet and Wetaskiwin hired with the help of funding from the federal government’s Young Canada Works and Canada Summer Jobs Program. University students Harriet Evans, 19, and Kiana Bugarin, 20, employed at Ponoka’s Fort Ostell Museum, said they enjoyed soaking up the local history while they worked. “We just did a display where we looked at all the old buildings. Now we go to a store, say a florist, and we know what it used to be,” said Evans about the diverse uses of some Ponoka buildings through the years. They said a variety of people visit the museum. Some are searching out their family’s history. Some used to work at the mental hospital, now called Centennial Centre for Mental Health and Brain Injury. Curious tourists also drop in. “We just had a couple in, their grandpa was one of the first mayors, and they wanted to know more about his life,” Evans said. And meeting tourists visiting from as far away as New Zealand or Los Angeles “just blows our minds,” Bugarin said. The students said many museum visitors who know the area also like to share their memories. “We get a lot of elderly people in and they tell us such neat stories about everything. Lots of gossip,” Evans said with a laugh. In the fall Evans will be studying education at the University of Calgary and Bugarin will head back to the University of Saskatchewan where she is earning a business degree. “I always found history interesting and I was lucky enough to get a job here. It’s a perfect summer job,” Bugarin said. Sandy Allsopp, Fort Ostell Museum manager, said the federal grants to hire students are very important to small museums. “If we don’t have that funding, then museums have to do their own fundraising to make sure they have enough funding to pay the students. Some of us get assistance from our city, town or county. But this makes it so much easier because (the grants) pay up to 75 per cent of the salary,” Allsopp said. Calkins said it would be difficult to honour Central Alberta’s pioneers if it wasn’t for the work of

All the science that goes into a single tattoo BY RACHEL FELTMAN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE I’m thrilled to have finally been given an opportunity to show off my unique talent for reciting scientific information from memory while getting stabbed with tiny needles over and over again. If you’re hungry for more tattoo science — or just on the fence about getting inked— here are some good factoids to know: Tattoos might make you feel good Really! There are the obvious chemical responses, for starters: You’re going to have a rush of adrenaline, because someone is coming at you with a needle. And you’re going to get some pretty nice endorphins too -- your body’s chemical response to pain -- which can make you sort of high. But there’s more too it than that. According to one (admittedly small) study, a new tattoo might improve your selfimage for weeks after the fact. And why not? You’ve got art on you! The effect might even be long-term for men, though most women in the study got anxious a few weeks in -- possibly because they started worrying about how other people saw their tattoos. Some tattoos might even be medicinal There’s evidence that tattoos found on ancient humans may have been deliberately placed over acupuncture points to provide a more permanent therapeutic effect. Even today, some cultures practice medicinal tattooing to cure certain ailments, with the most convincing effects seen in arthritic joints. Tattoo needles don’t work the way you think they do Lots of people seem to think that tattoo needles shoot ink into your skin. That’s an understandable misconception, because most “needles” we’re exposed to are used to inject things. But that’s not how tattooing works. It’s actually all about capillary action. The ink is held between separate itty bitty needles -- the same way ink is held between strands of hair on a paintbrush — and when those needles puncture the skin, the ink is sucked down into your skin. Physics! Tattoos become permanent by hijacking your immune system Tattoos: Not just a rebellion against mom and dad. You’re pretty much duping your en-

An Israeli man gets his body tattooed ay the 3rd Israeli Tattoo Convention, Tel Aviv, Israel. tire body when you get inked. Here’s how it goes. When a tattoo needle punctures your skin, your body does what it does whenever anything punctures your skin (duh) and tries to close the holes up. The cells that rush to the rescue arrive to find not just a wound, but also a foreign invader —the ink. The indignity! Those cells gobble up the ink, but some of them get stuck in the dermis layer of your skin. When you look at a tattoo, you’re not just seeing little bits of ink trapped under your skin. You’re actually seeing ink trapped inside cells that had hoped to destroy that ink. Those odd bedfellows stay visible pretty much forever, fading and laser removal notwithstanding. Tattoo ink is a cornucopia of different chemicals Every tattoo ink is different -- if you get two tattoos in the exact same shade, but get them at different times and from different artists, the chemical compositions prob-
ably won’t match. And a lot of artists don’t mix their own inks, but buy them from companies that hold on tight to their formulas, meaning that the person putting ink in you might not know what’s in it. So if you have allergies -- especially to heavy metals, which provide the color for a lot of known ink formulas -take extra precautions. One survey of New Yorkers found that 10 percent had skin problems after getting tattoos. When you consider that tattoo ink is basically a mystery, those odds don’t seem so bad. And some of those incidents were no doubt due to improper aftercare. It’s important to remember that your tattoo is an open wound just like any other so follow your artist’s instructions! Some have even suggested that tattoo inks might be carcinogenic. Because they’re unregulated and vary so much, it’s hard to gauge how much of a real risk this might be. Tattoos hurt, but...
As someone with several tattoos, including one in a notoriously painful spot — I get a lot of people asking me where they can get tattooed and have it hurt the least. Bad news, guys: No scientific study to back this one up, but just take my word for it — everyone is different. But the pain of tattooing is just like any other pain — it’s highly subjective. I and many others will say that it’s the bony areas that hurt the most, but some folks will swear it’s the fleshier parts of their body where they were really unbearable. Sometimes a tattoo gun will go right over a particularly sensitive nerve. Some people have a better experience when they can see the needle in action (and freak out if they can’t) and others prefer blissful ignorance of its machinations. You won’t know until you try. And then you’ll get your second tattoo somewhere else and cry like a baby because you weren’t expecting it to hurt so much more than the
first one did. It’s all good. There are some downsides There are things you can’t do with a tattoo. Laser hair removal, for one. Because the process works by targeting dark pigment, tattoos will end up drawing the laser’s ire and get blistered and burned. If you’ve got a colored tattoo, chances are pretty good that the metal content of the ink will be enough to make MRIs ... interesting. The effect of metal inside a tattoo can range from a weird tingling feeling to a painful burn, but neither are any reason to avoid necessary diagnostic imaging -- just be prepared. And tattoos can even interfere with your ability to adopt new technologies. Apple recently admitted that some users of the brand’s smartwatch wound up disappointed when their wrist tattoos interfered with the device’s sensors. So if you’re considering some body art, keep in mind that there’s more to a tattoo than just the look of it.

‘I want hookah’: How Twitter feedback influences use
7TH ANNIVERSARY
TWEETS CAN CHANGE PERCEPTION the pro-hookah tweets mentioned using other substances. A sample tweet: “I want hookah. Smokin da hookah with good homies. Hookah sounds like a great idea tonight.” Only 7 percent of the tweets were against hookah. Public health officials should push for hookah bars and clubs to be included in bans on indoor smoking, Krauss said. And get more creative online. “They need to use Twitter in a more strategic way to get these prevention messages out there,” she said.

As hookah smoking becomes more popular among young adults, especially college-age students, researchers are finding that positive mentions about hookah use on Twitter — more than 12,000 a day — may be adding to the misperception that it is somehow less harmful than cigarette smoking. It’s not. While cigarette smoking has gone down over the past decades, hookah is “definitely something that’s becoming more popular, especially among college students,” said Melissa Krauss, a research statistician at Washington University School of Medicine and lead author of a study published Thursday in Preventing Chronic Disease, a journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “It’s a very social and trendy behavior. There are a lot hookah bars popping up near college campuses.” Hookahs are water pipes that are used to smoke specially-made tobacco that is usually flavored. Other names are waterpipe, sheesha or shisha. Hookah smoking typically takes place in groups, with the same mouthpiece passed from person to person. What people don’t realize, researchers said, is that hookah smoke contains many of the same harmful toxins as cigarette smoke and has been associated with lung cancer, respiratory illness, low birth weight and gum disease. And
because of the method of smoking — more puffs, deeper inhalation over longer smoking sessions — hookah smokers may absorb higher concentrations of the same toxins found in cigarette smoke. The study is the first to rely exclusively on tweets about hookah use. Researchers say they are increasingly turning to social media to study newer trends in substance use because the data is more readily available than results from traditional health surveys. The researchers have done similar analyses using tweets about alcohol and marijuana. There are more tweets about marijuana (more than 250,000 a day) and alcohol (at least 400,000 a day) than about hookah, but more tweets about hookah than smoking ecigarettes (1,200 a day). Researchers collected all tweets containing the terms “hookah” and “shisha” (and alternative spellings) from April to May 2014. Of more than 350,000 such tweets, researchers then analyzed the contents of nearly 40,000 tweets from people they considered the most influential. From that pool, they analyzed a random sample of about 5,000 tweets. Of those, a majority, or 87 percent, were prohookah and included tweets from users and from songs or music. Nearly a quarter were commercial promotions from bars or clubs. Hookah bars are often exempt from indoorsmoking bans enforced in many states and localities, researchers said. About 15 percent of

An exceptional story of living with war All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr $19.95 Simon and Schuster Pub This is a story of the war in France and Normandy in 1944. A young girl named Marie-Laure is born to a Locksmith and his wife. The mother dies in childbirth and when the child turns six she is found to have, “congenital cataracts.” She is blind. They live in Paris where the father is employed at the Museum of Natural History. He is an ingenious craftsman and a kindly parent using all his wits in raising the girl, teaching her as she grows up, to navigate the streets in which they live. A young boy, Werner Pfennig is born in Germany, but PEGGY is raised along with his sisFREEMAN ter and other children, by a kindly Nun, in an orphanage called The Children’s House. Both Marie-Laure and Werner are caught up in the machinations of War, but on opposing sides. The lives of these two are brought together by history but also by the fact that they were kindly treated as children. Decisions they make reflect an integrity that is part of them. There is plenty of brutality in this story, Werner proves to be, “smart beyond his years,” and is sent to General Heismeyer’s School, which teaches the sciences and maths and electronics along with savagery. This is Hitler’s Youth and only the strongest young men survive. When the Nazi’s arrive in Paris, the Museum staff work feverishly to remove to safety, certain treasures, among them a valuable diamond. Marie-Laure and her father escape Paris traveling to Saint-Malo, on the coast of Brittany, to the home of her great Uncle Etienne. Marie’s father knows that Uncle Etienne is a victim of the last War, but assures Marie, that he is “only 76% crazy.”
The author takes us back through the rise of the formidable Nazi armies, the use of the radio in warfare, the codes and the power in the Air. There are many characters, from the brutal Bastian at the School, to resourceful Madame Manec who cares for everyone in the home of Uncle Etienne. There is the ill and desperate Sergeant Major von Rumpel searching for treasure to Madame Ruelle the baker who bakes numeric codes into her bread. But saddest of all is Werners fellow student, Frederick, a bird lover, kind and gentle who cannot survive. This book is beautifully written, describing the

What came after One Fish Two Fish? POSTHUMOUS SEUSS BOOK SURE TO DELIGHT FANS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HANOVER, N.H. — Move over mockingbirds and watchmen. There’s a new Yent in a tent in town. Dr. Seuss’ new book, What Pet Should I Get?, features the same siblings seen in his 1960 classic One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. The book went on sale Tuesday, two weeks after the release of Harper Lee’s long-awaited second novel, Go Set a Watchman. But unlike some fans of Lee’s 1960 book, To Kill a Mockingbird, those who love Dr. Seuss are unlikely to be disappointed, says Donald Pease, author of two books about Seuss and an English professor at the author’s alma mater, Dartmouth College. “It’s a classic Dr. Seuss treatment,” he said. “What it does is it brings a child, actually a brother and sister, into relationship by way of a problem almost every child addresses in her or his life: What pet should I get?” As the siblings ponder which animal to acquire — Dog? Cat? Fish? — they start to imagine more fanciful creatures: the aforementioned Yent, or a “thing on a string.” All the while, they face the constraints of what their parents would allow. The final illustration, which shows two eyes poking out of a basket, leaves readers guessing about their choice. Pease suggests Seuss didn’t publish the book because he used it as a jumping-off point for One Fish Two Fish instead. “In a sense, the pet shop is giving the children access to the difference between the world of pets they can encounter in a pet shop, and the world of creatures they can only enter encounter by opening the book equivalent of a pet shop: the archive of Dr. Seuss’s children’s books,” he said. For example, in One Fish Two Fish, the children have a Gox, a Gack, and a Wump with one hump. Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Geisel, grew up in Massachusetts, but it was at Dartmouth that he found his passion for writing and drawing. “I began to get it through my skull that words and pictures were Yin and Yang. I began thinking that words and pictures, married, might possibly produce a progeny more interesting than either parent,” he told the Dartmouth alumni magazine in 1975. “It took me almost a quarter of a century to find the proper way to get my words and pictures married. At Dartmouth I couldn’t even get them engaged.” The Ivy League school is also where the Seuss pseudonym was born. When Seuss was a senior, he and his friends were caught drinking alcohol in his room during Prohibition. (“We had a pint of gin for 10 people, so that proves nobody was really drinking,” he recalled.) Part of his punishment included being booted off the staff of the campus humour magazine, but he got around the sanction by signing his cartoons with his mother’s maiden name and his own middle name: Seuss. Unlike Lee’s Go Set a Watchman, in which the heroic Atticus Finch disparages blacks and condemns the Supreme Court’s decision to outlaw segregation in public school, the new Seuss book joins other Seuss classics such as The Sneetches and Other Stories and Green Eggs and Ham in affirming equality, Pease said. In general, Pease said, the world that Seuss created didn’t have race or class distinctions but instead celebrated differences.

thrill little undersized Werner finds in the mathematics and radio, and the soft gentle voice of Uncle Ettiene as he reads, The Voyage of The Beagle to Marie in his fifth floor study. The war comes to Saint-Malo as it must, the people are warned to flee in a note, which a young blind girl cannot read. The saving grace is, as it always is, the unexpected kindness and support that people of good will display, in spite of the evil that is extant. Anthony Doerr won the Pulitzer Prize for this book in 2015. Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

WHAT’S HAPPENING 50-70
BOYCE Harold Osborne Feb. 19, 1929-July 24, 2015 “ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing”. II Timothy 4:7-8 The family of Harold Boyce announce his passing on to Heaven on July 24, 2015. Harold was born on February 19, 1929, on the family farm south of Erskine. On September 7, 1951, he married Dorothy Rachar and they lived in the Erskine area until 1972. Harold’s life was very full with raising his family and farming. Harold was a charter member of the Erskine Evangelical Free Church and was very active in community organizations. They then moved to Lacombe in 1972 where Harold farmed and then worked at Weidner’s Esso. Harold had a passion for Camp ministry and served in various capacities with Camp Silversides. In 1979 they moved to Red Deer where Harold worked for the Red Deer Advocate, delivering bundles of newspapers to the towns and villages between Red Deer and Stettler, for over 30 years. Harold’s strong faith in God sustained him all his life and it was his desire that his children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Reasons to throw yourself into judo BY DES BIELER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
Photo by ADVOCATE news services
Author Des Bieler, top, tries to contain Nicholas Dudek as Bieler tries out judo for the first time at the Kennedy Recreation Center in Washington. “There is no other martial art that will teach you throws, and how to prevent against throws,� he said. “So if I want to stay on my feet, that’s a great way of doing it.� Dudek, who admitted that he watches “way too much MMA,� wasn’t sure whether he would actually end up competing in that sport, partly because “the ground-and-pound scares me.� But the slender young man, who is more used to sparring at a relative distance from his opponents, was eager to soak up judo techniques, if only because, as he put it, “you need to learn how to defend yourself off your back.�
More certain that she would not be trying her hand at MMA, at least not anytime soon, was Malloy, who, as something of a successor to Rousey, gets asked that question a lot. Having won a silver medal at the 2013 World Judo Championships, Malloy is focused on achieving her “dream� and taking gold at the 2016 Olympics. But Rousey’s success is “something that I appreciate,� Malloy said, “because when I talk to people now and I explain judo, they have seen Ronda do her judo in her fights, and so they know what I’m talking about, and that’s gratifying for me.�

On August 1, Ronda Rousey will defend her UFC crown for the first time since being named “the world’s most dominant athlete� by Sports Illustrated. If recent history is any indication, it won’t take long — her past two title fights lasted a total of 30 seconds — for Rousey to demonstrate her superiority in mixed martial arts, not to mention the discipline in which she once specialized: judo. The biggest star in MMA, Rousey has brought new attention, at least in the United States, to judo, and I decided to acquaint myself with it. Or re-acquaint myself, I should say, because I tried it when I was a first-grader; that was way back in the 1970s, and pretty much all I remembered was a throw called osoto gari. We didn’t do osoto gari on the evening I stopped by a recreation center in Washington to join a class taught by the folks at DC Judo. But we did enough other stuff to give me firsthand evidence that the martial art and Olympic sport could serve pretty darn well as not just a form of competition and/or self-defense, but as a great workout. Naturally, Marti Malloy agrees. When I talked to her, she had just won a gold medal in judo at the Pan Am Games, and in 2012, she became only the second U.S. woman to reach the podium in the Olympics (Kayla Harrison subsequently won gold for the United States at those Games), following Rousey, with whom Malloy had countless bouts when they were both youngsters. “Judo is one of the sports that is all-encompassing,� Malloy said. “So it requires you to be strong, it requires you to be fast, requires you to have agility, good dexterity, hand-eye coordination, speed. Obviously, when you first start judo, you don’t need to have all those things, but just from doing what the sport requires, you develop them.� If my experience was any indication, starting judo is the roughest part, at least in terms of the warm-up exercises involved. The 30 or so of us in attendance went from one side of the padded floor to the other in a variety of difficult ways — somersaults, backward somersaults, handstands, bunny hops, a bodydrag and an assortment of tumbles — designed to get participants breaking a sweat while mimicking movements demanded by the sport. While I, as a newcomer, sat out some of the tumbling exercises (OK, I also skipped some of the other stuff), I learned that becoming good at falling to the mat is a critical initial skill. “That’s probably the No. 1 most important thing that you need to learn, especially for kids,� Malloy said, “because when judo is done correctly, in my opinion, it’s perfectly harmless. . . . You need to learn how to absorb that shock of hitting the mat with your body.� My DC Judo instructor, Terence McPartland, decided that I and the other novices should start “from the ground and sort of work up.� He had students pair off, with one lying on the mat while the other practiced a holding technique. We built from there, learning how to escape from that hold, then how to get an opponent to the mat using a particular throw (osoto otoshi), then how to counter someone attempting that throw, setting him up to go down. A lot of it was wonderfully counterintuitive; the natural instinct in the face of an attack is to move away from it, but judo teaches moving into the attack, then often pivoting quickly and catching the opponent off-balance. “We’re demonstrating, hey, everyone’s the attacker and everyone’s the defender at all times,� McPartland told me afterward. “You know, you can sort of switch roles at any moment.� That skill is what makes judo an effective form of self-defense. “Usually, when someone is attacking you,� Malloy said, “it’s a bigger person who thinks that their size and power and strength is going to be able to take whatever it is they’re trying to take from you. But with judo, what you learn is a manipulation of balance,� using their momentum against them. Michael Landstreet, head instructor at the Arlington Judo Club in Virginia, said, “If you throw the person correctly, they should feel like they only weigh 30 pounds.� He mentioned a pair of occasions when he was threatened with a weapon (a gun and a knife) and he chose judo instead of taekwondo, in which he also holds a black belt, to successfully subdue his assailants. Both Landstreet and Malloy cited the mantra “maximum efficiency with minimum effort,� which is credited to Jigoro Kano, who created judo in late19th century Japan. Of course, while that is certainly the goal, it still takes plenty of effort to get to that point. My training partner at the DC Judo class was less interested in getting into shape (he was pretty much already there) than in learning what have become essential skills for MMA. Nicholas Dudek, a 21-year-old student at American University, came to the program several months ago with an extensive background in various disciplines, such as Shotokan-style karate and taekwondo, that emphasize striking opponents.

BEHIND HIP-HOP BEATS THE
SYLVAN LAKE-BASED PRODUCER YOUNG ASPECT IS MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF ONE BEAT AT TIME BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF
C
oming across a vinyl recording of obscure Asian flute music is like striking gold for Sylvan Lake-based hip-hop producer Young Aspect. The 25-year-old, also known as Reece Zazulak, can find an interesting hook in virtually any kind of music — from ethnic folk tunes, to a Beethoven concerto, or old movie soundtrack. He creates new beats by electronically remixing samples of old music into something fresh and unrecognizable. His hip-hop arrangements are so good they’ve ended up on two Swollen Members albums, as well five solo recordings by the group’s MC, Madchild. Young Aspect has also produced music for Moka Only, Snak the Ripper, Merkules and other rappers. Through YouTube, his beats have been heard around the world; Five songs he created for Swollen Members and Merkules have each had over a million views. “It’s a pretty cool feeling,” admitted Zazulak from a home studio in Sylvan Lake, to know that “something that fires me up” is also appreciated by hip-hop fans in Holland or Bulgaria. Advocate reporter Lana Mi-
chelin asked him about his music: How does a young man living in Sylvan Lake become a soughtafter producer for veteran Vancouver rap group Swollen Members? Zazulak: Well, technically, I’ve been doing this eight years prior to living in Sylvan. I was born and raised in Medicine Hat.
fire” Dexter got me into music. He was so talented, he just passed away on May 5th. Rest In Paradise bro. I started out as a hip-hop emcee (rapper). When I first started, I would download instrumentals to songs I was listening to at the time. I got tired of using beats that were already popular, and became really interested in how the instrumentals were being made. I ended up spending more time
When I collaborate with someone,
we inspire each other. Every song is different though.
What are some of the other artists you have worked with? Other than Swollen Members (as a group), I do a lot of Madchild’s solo music. Other artists I’ve worked with include Moka Only, Snak The Ripper, Merkules, Caspian, Spesh K, Doom Squad, and a few more I might have missed (sorry). How did you get your start in music? How did you get into record production? My older brother Jamie “Six-
on the production side of things. In rap/hip hop music, the producer is the person making the beat/instrumental that the emcee is rapping on. I still do both, produce and rap. I enjoy them equally but my beats have got me more noticed than anything. In 2006, I started talking to Rob The Viking online. That’s the producer of Swollen Members. I had no idea who he was at that time, it was just cool to talk beats with someone. He asked how old I was, I was 16 at the
time. He said, “Wow that’s good for being so young” and we kept in contact. I ended up going on tour with them in 2008 and meeting them finally. Madchild and I started building a working relationship and I ended up moving to his place in Vancouver in 2012 to get his solo career started. I have done probably over 30 songs for him to date. I also work closely with Merkules. He is super talented and I believe in him more than anyone right now because he’s young and he’s hungry. You will see him put a dent in the industry without a doubt. What is your approach to working with various artists? Do you consider yourself a collaborator, since they bring their own ideas to the table, or a leader who can take them in a new direction? Great question. A bit of both. When I collaborate with someone, we inspire each other. Every song is different though. I like to think I have a formula (which I do) but sometimes you pull inspiration from thin air, or from something that happened that day. Making a beat is the first step. The beat sets the mood or feeling of the whole song. As soon as a rapper hears the beat, they write lyrics that suit the mood of the beat. Please see YOUNG ASPECT on Page D2

Going out on top “ AFTER 16 YEARS AS PHONEY ANCHOR, JON STEWART IS SIGNING OFF FOR REAL
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
★★★ A famous definition of news: “What those in power don’t want you to know.”
STORY FROM PAGE D1
YOUNG ASPECT: A blessing in disguise I consider myself a leader, but when it comes to my crew, we are all leaders. That’s the magic of it all. I have had experiences with certain artists where I feel like I’m just working for them, not with them. The real magic comes from seeing eye to eye with the people you create with. What do you consider your greatest strength or contribution? Right now, production. I have made a bit of a name making beats, but that’s the thing about my music is that I am constantly trying to “one up” myself. I am my only competition. As long as I always look at it that way, then I am always winning if I work hard. People tell me I should either focus on production, or focus on rapping. For me music is therapy, so I need to do both.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton reacts to host Jon Stewart during a taping of ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,’ in New York on July 15, 2014. After more than 16 years and nearly 2,600 telecasts, Stewart will end his show on Aug. 6. Meanwhile, the illuminative mockery of Stewart’s “fake news” might be defined as “What those in power don’t want you to think.” Always questioning authority — whether politicians, corporate titans, media barons or, of course, puffedup journalists — Stewart did what satirists have done for centuries: He seized on the absurdity embedded in accepted truth. But as The Daily Show aped the bombast and blizzard of graphics em-
ployed, without irony, by “legitimate” newscasts, Stewart never copped to grandiose claims for what he was up to. “Our meeting every morning is an explicit discussion of what’s going on in the world,” he declared in a 2004 interview with The Associated Press. “But then the rest of the day is spent trying to hide that under layers of fart jokes.” While Stewart is undeniably leftleaning, his show, he said, “doesn’t
connected. (Hip-hop artist) Classified is someone I look up to. He makes a living making beats and rapping and he lives in Enfield, Nova Scotia. There are 5,000 people living in that town. It’s still important to go to the city still though for the big events, etc., because you never know who you are going to meet. The Internet is only a tool.
look at you and say, “Do you think your from the ghetto or something?” Choosing to become a hip hop artist you have to deal with the closed-minded people. These days there are more styles of hip hop and people started realizing it’s an art form, a way to express yourself. Not a stereotype. You don’t have to be from the ghetto’s of L.A. or N.Y. to express yourself in this art form. So no, at first they were skeptical and not really sure how to support me, they just let me do my thing. Now that they see the accomplishments I’ve made they are way more supportive and think it’s pretty cool.
Was music always playing in your house as you were growing up? Who were your influences? Yeah, I remember my Dad playing Johnny Cash at home as a young child. I always loved Ring of Fire and A Boy Named Sue. My Mom would play her cassette tapes in the car. From 90’s dance music (maybe that’s why I love beats) to Cher, and Melissa Etheridge. My parents divorced in 2000, I was 10 years old, so I became an angry teenager listening to more and more hip hop. I liked the really gangster stuff. The really angry stuff. It made me forget about all my problems. My influences included Wu Tang Clan, The Beastie Boys, Eminem and Tupac. What did your parents think of your career choice? Ha ha. I could only imagine what they were thinking. “Wow, my son wants to be a rapper ...” It took me a long time to tell them I was even creating hip hop music. I was embarrassed because you never heard of anyone doing it where I’m from. People would

Is there any advice you would give other young Central Albertans who want to do what you do? Did some advice you received helped you in life? Be you. As a fan of rap/hip hop it’s easy to rap about something you haven’t actually done. Once you find yourself in the music and talk about real things, it’s much more rewarding. Stay focused, stay healthy, keep a positive mind state, and always be professional. Also, don’t try to rely on music as a career, it’s very hard to make it in the music industry. If you got it, you got it, but even Eminem had to flip
honour the distinction between left wing and right wing, or liberal and conservative, or in some respects between Democrat and Republican. “We only honour the distinction between real and absurdly fake,” he said, then grinned. “And WE are absurdly fake.” “The Daily Show” under Stewart thus made a credible argument that, for both journalism and public affairs, bogus is the new real, leaving fact and fantasy interchangeable. “The Daily Show” prevailed as a bit of daylight in between, a privileged space that granted Stewart almost limitless freedom to make fun of things, even as he exercised due diligence in making sense of them in the process.
Please see STEWART on Page D3 burgers till he was financially free. All dreams require hard work, patience and significance to you. I read as much as I can, you can never stop learning. And anything else you want to add or talk about …. I want to dedicate this article to my older brother Jamie Dexter. He was also a music producer. He was VERY talented, as he was the one who got me into music in general. He did a couple beats for Snak The Ripper called Final Step and The Mirror. Check it out on YouTube.

NEW YORK — After more than 16 years and nearly 2,600 telecasts, Jon Stewart can feel proud of his scads of Emmys and his pair of Peabody Awards, his cultural gravitas (he hung with the Prez, both on and off the air!), even his reprobate status at Fox News. Who could blame him for wanting to depart The Daily Show on this high note? Besides, maybe it had gotten too easy. By June, when Donald Trump jumped into the presidential race, a giddy Stewart framed this jest-alluring candidacy as Trump’s going-away gift to him, “putting me in some sort of comedy hospice where all I’m getting is straight morphine.” Or maybe it had gotten too hard. When he took over The Daily Show in January 1999, Stewart’s simple mission was to host a program that would lampoon “real” newscasts and newsmakers they enabled. “I like keeping up with the news,” he told The Associated Press at the time, “even though I think it’s gotten so out of control. But that’s what I like about The Daily Show: It’s like checks and balances.” But in an interview a few months ago, Stewart put a bit more dismally the task of finding the funny in the news. “I think of us as turd miners,” he said. “I put on my helmet, I go and mine turds. Hopefully I don’t get turd lung disease.”

Mission: Accomplished ‘ROGUE NATION’ INJECTS NEW WIT, ENERGY INTO FRANCHISE Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation Three stars (out of four) Rated: PG-13 BY ANN HORNADAY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Preposterous, playful and shamelessly entertaining, Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation obeys the first rule of action thrillers-cum-star vehicles: Take this all too seriously and you’re dead meat. Tom Cruise, who delivers a Dorian Gray-like performance in his fifth outing as the Impossible Mission Force’s Ethan Hunt, knows this in his preternaturally uncreaky bones. Starting things off with an impressively realistic stunt, hanging off the side of an ascending airplane — which he performed himself, according to pre-opening publicity — Cruise strides through Rogue Nation with the combination of swagger and winking selfdeprecation that have helped make him one of Hollywood’s most enduring and, dang it, lovable screen products. Just when viewers are about to give into full eye roll — when he displays the perfectly sculpted chest that his contract apparently stipulates he bare in every movie, say, or lays one of his penetrating Blue Steel looks on the baddie du jour — he delivers a perfectly timed pratfall or handsomely dim retort. Writer-director Christopher McQuarrie, who worked with Cruise on the far grittier Jack Reacher, is just as canny as Cruise himself when it comes to deploying his lead actor. Rogue Nation turns out to be a fleet, wellcrafted, effortlessly stylish addition to the Mission: Impossible canon in which outlandish derring-do, risibly arcane stakes and a woefully overlong running time are leavened by an endearing sense of humor that at times approaches high camp. The joshing tone of the most recent installments was securely established when Simon Pegg joined the force back in 2006. With Alec Baldwin in the mix — as a peevish CIA director eager to strip the IMF of its unchecked pow-

STEWART: Little sign of sanity restored Some (even Stewart) would say The Daily Show is a half-hour of silliness meant to call out politicians and other power brokers with no higher purpose than amusing its audience. Still, he was sharply attuned to America’s many wrong turns, how its leadership and media routinely let the country down. In 2010, he and fellow Comedy Central fake-news host Stephen Colbert even organized a rollicking “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear” that drew tens of thousands to Washington’s National Mall. Americans, said Stewart in one of the telecast’s more serious moments, do “impossible things every day that are only made possible through the little, reasonable compromises we all make.” But reasonable compromises are what elected officials are loath to

(L-r) Alec Baldwin plays Hunley and Simon Pegg plays Benji in ‘Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation. ers — Rogue Nation goes deep meta. When Baldwin utters “Hunt” in a pivotal scene near the end of the film, what might have been a moment where the wheels come off instead attains deadpan silkiness of Donaghy-esque proportions.
The great strength of McQuarrie is that, even when he’s leaning into the laughs, he plays it straight — he doesn’t sacrifice inviolable core values in the name of escapism, whether in the form of smart writing or superb production aesthetics. Handsomely

make in the present day; what news media dismiss in favour of spotlighting the more watchable bad behaviour and conflict. Americans do work together to get things done, insisted Stewart. “The only place we don’t is here,” he said, pointing behind him at the Capitol, “or on cable TV.” ★★★
Africa, to manage this nightly reality check as the nation dives headlong into the 2016 presidential election cycle. Maybe Stewart has concluded things are crazier than ever. And, after all, how much crazy can one man comb through night after night, searching for laughs, and retain his own sanity? In June, as he reflected on the mass shootings in a black church in Charles-
photographed by Robert Elswit, Rogue Nation possesses the sleek, globe-trotting feel we’ve come to expect from the James Bonds and Jason Bournes of the world. What distinguishes this iteration is a classical sensibility that feels almost like a throwback, like 007 before he went techno-ballistic. The spine of the plot touches on such topical tropes as computer hacks, government transparency and global terrorism. But the set pieces are pure old school, from the film’s eyeball-grabbing opening number and a Hitchcockian fight staged during Turandot on a backstage catwalk, to a beautifully executed underwater bit and a motorcycle-car chase that must have struck co-star Jeremy Renner as dimly familiar from his own stint in the Bourne universe. Through it all, Cruise maintains the signature focus and physical cool that we’ve come to expect, even if Ethan has by now become a little unhinged in his righteous lone-wolf fury (“unhinged” being yet another beat Cruise can pluck easily from his emotional tool box). What’s more, as he did in the criminally under-seen Edge of Tomorrow, Cruise once again chooses for Ethan to work with a female counterpart who, rather than a stock lady-injeopardy or erotic love interest, is just as competent and physically courageous as he is. (In a clever twist, it’s Pegg’s dweeby character, Benji, who emerges as Rogue Nation’s damsel in distress.) Indeed, as much as Cruise dominates Rogue Nation, it’s his co-star, Rebecca Ferguson, who emerges as the film’s true and most memorable revelation. A dazzling, auburn-haired Swedish beauty, she embodies the glamour and élan of a modern-day Diana Rigg, or Edge of Tomorrow’s Emily Blunt. Like Blunt, Ferguson manages to be sexy, strong, complicated and enigmatic in a performance that Cruise highlights by way of his own reflected persona. It may not entail hanging off the side of a moving airplane, but it’s a pretty gutsy and admirable stunt nonetheless, free of vanity and brimming with the secure, unfussy confidence of a true star. ton, South Carolina, there were no laughs to be had. “I honestly have nothing, other than sadness,” he said before sadly predicting that, even now, after yet another American atrocity, “we still won’t do jack----” to join together for a solution. Are things crazier than ever? Or maybe do we recognize the crazy more? Are we more painfully aware? If that’s the case, his fans can thank Stewart for his abiding and soon-tobe-missed role in bringing us the crazy with insight, clarity and, of course, loads of laughs. Whatever he’s been mining for his more than 16 years, he made the most of it.
There has been little sign of sanity restored. “Wouldn’t it be nice if people who jumped to conclusions and peddled a false, divisive, anger-stoking narrative had to apologize for misleading America?” mused Stewart last March in reference to a certain cable-news network. On Aug. 6, Stewart, now 52, will step aside, making way for Trevor Noah, a 31-year-old stand-up comic from South

Groom’s mother trying to control wedding Dear Annie: Our daughter recently became engaged and we couldn’t be happier. She is our only child and is marrying a great guy. While we are excited about all of the planning for the big event, it appears that the groom’s mother, “Dolores,” is trying to take control. MITCHELL For nearly & SUGAR every detail that my daughter and I agree upon, Dolores steps in and wants to make changes. While I appreciate her enthusiasm, is this the way that things are supposed to be? She is putting my daughter in the middle and making the situation terribly uncomfortable, especially since the groom is in the military and the
ANNIE ANNIE
wedding won’t take place for another 18 months. I’m not sure how long this can go on before we have words. My husband and I have given the bridal couple what we considered to be a generous budget, but Dolores keeps offering to pay for any additional expenses so she can make it be the day she wants. While we can afford to give our daughter more money for the wedding, we would like them to spend wisely for this one-day celebration. Dolores has already married off a daughter. I’m only going to be the mother of the bride once in my life. Is it too much to ask that this day belong to me? How do I keep peace with my daughter and make this the day that we have dreamed of without constant conflict with her mother-in-law? —Once in My Life Dear Once: These days, the bride’s family doesn’t get to control every aspect of the wedding. Grooms also get a say. And many families split the costs
SUN SIGNS
(and vice versa). Then I extended an olive branch, and we both put away our resentful and angry feelings and found out we had a lot in common, in addition to the man we both had married. We “grew up,” and our relationship flourished over the next 15 years as we shared birthdays, graduations, marriage, a grandchild, holidays at each other’s homes, even family vacations. We recognized that jealousy and hate only destroy one’s self, and that harmony brings peace and contentment to the soul. It’s a wonderful feeling to have such a treasured friend. — Truly Grateful Friend Dear Grateful: We love this. Please make a copy to show your husband’s ex-wife. It will make her day.

LION AROUND
HOROSCOPES Friday, July 31 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: JK Rowling, 49; Wesley Snipes, 52; Geraldine Chaplin, 71 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The Full Moon’s in Aquarius, so do something daringly different. H A P P Y BIRTHDAY: Make sure you utilise your creative talents in the coming year. JOANNE November and MADELEINE December are the MOORE best months to fall in love, propose, get married or renew your wedding vows. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Rams are social creatures, and your current friendships are in a state of flux ATM. Some close relationships will end suddenly, while others develop in wonderfully unexpected ways. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Full Moon shines on your career zone. Are you making the most of the professional opportunities that are around you? Strive to show others what you are really capable of. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re keen to connect with a wide range of people, as the Full Moon activates your communication zone. Plus strive to make your aspirations and ambitions as adventurous as possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may feel physically and emotionally unsettled. A financial situation or business matter could veer off in a totally unexpected direction, so keep your adaptability muscles well flexed! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Attached Cats — is there a tug-of-war between you and your
right down the middle, giving each an equal voice in the planning. This day does not belong to you. Your daughter is the one who decides how to handle her future mother-inlaw and what compromises she is willing to make. For your sake, as well as hers, please take one step back and be as gracious and accommodating as possible. It’s a good lesson to teach your daughter. It may not be the wedding you dreamed of, but it could ease the way for your daughter to have the marriage she wants and a better relationship with her in-laws. Isn’t that what counts? Dear Annie: Recently a reader complained that you never write about the good stories. Here’s one I hope you will share. I want to publicly thank my husband’s ex-wife for being a dear and special person. For the first 10 years of my marriage, I experienced the animosity that many ex-wives inflict on the new wife
partner? Do you want more freedom, while they yearn for more commitment? The only solution is to meet them half-way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re searching for stability but that’s the last thing you’ll get from loved ones at the moment. A hope, dream or wish is also uncertain as you adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Children or teenagers will blur the boundaries and test your patience today. If you are firm and flexible — a tricky balance — then you can guide them through the constantly changing landscape. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Expect the unexpected today, especially involving personal projects, family members or domestic matters. The more you try to rush the situation Scorpio, the more chaotic the day will be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be careful your spontaneous Sagittarian spirit doesn’t land you in heaps of unexpected trouble! When it comes to a rebellious child or teenager, try a completely different approach. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There’s no escaping financial pressures at the moment. Others may encourage you to take risks with your cash, but a cautious and conservative Capricorn approach is the safest way to go. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Aquarian Full Moon amplifies your reckless nature — but too much haste could lead to an argument or accident, so pace yourself. The stars favour talking about joint finances and shared resources. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t assume you know what others are thinking and feeling on this crazy Full Moon day - you may be way off the mark. If you’re unsure of their intentions, don’t hesitate to ask for some clarification.
