Hive raid BY S SUS USAN AN ZIE Z IELI LINS NSKI KI ADVOCATE STAFF Talk about sticky fingers. About 600,000 honey bees belonging to Nixon Honey Farm were stolen, along with the bees’ 12 hives, from a farmer’s field south of Red Deer near Hwy 2. The theft was discovered on Wednesday morning when Nixon Honey Farm staff when out to service the hives. Three pallets, with fo our hives per pallet, were stolen from the locattiion that had 12 pallets. Kevin Nixon said the theft is a first for the Innisfail-area farm. “We’ve had bees here since 1998. We’ve had the odd case of vandalism, but we’ve never had hive v theft,” said Nixon, one of the owners of the ffa ami m ly hon honey ey ffar arm, m, o on n Th Thur ursd sday ay..

Anger, addictions issues sweated out at boot camp BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Bringing military-style structure, discipline and confidence to prisoners has been the aim of a boot camp program at the Edmonton Remand Centre for the past two years. And for one Red Deer resident, it has had a lasting impact. Matthew John Ridsdale has struggled with addiction and anger issues all his life and has had his runins with the law. Earlier this year, he was serving time at the Edmonton Remand Centre when he got into the boot camp program. In a letter to the Advocate, Ridsdale writes: “It has helped me with the anger problem that I’ve had for most of my life. It has also helped me by building my self-esteem and confidence in my self, my overall health and the way I act and treat others.” Correctional Peace Officer Glenn Vey, a 33-year Canadian military veteran who now works at the Edmonton Remand Centre, has been with the program since Day 1. Employing some techniques from basic training, the boot camp program has a cornerstone in communication, with other important factors being structure, guidance and leadership. “We try to educate, coach and support the inmates and lead them by motivation,” said Vey. “It’s a military style. They do drill, they do physical fitness, they do more courses like anger management, parenting, they get education such as their GED.” There are rewards to motivate inmates ranging from popcorn night to movie night. “I spend a lot of time sitting with the inmates,” said Vey. “In the old days, you’d never see that.” Structure plays a big role. Monday to Friday, the days are always the same: the inmates wake up at 7 a.m. for breakfast and then they will clean their “houses” — their cells are referred to as houses. The “houses” are inspected and the inmates stand at attention until they are counted,

Everyone who was a gang member before they came onto the unit was asked to leave their gang colours outside. And they do. “Whenever someone has an issue with another inmate, instead of going into a cell and fighting it out, they get put into a room to talk about it like adults. “I watched two big men who were almost ready to kill each other talk about their issues, say sorry to each other and give each other a hug. If it wasn’t for the program, those two men would have beat each other to a bloody pulp.” Both Vey and Ridsdale point to the Positive Energy Action Knowledge program, which the inmates in the boot camp program started themselves.

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Innisfail’s latest census shows little growth in the community — if the numbers are to be believed. The town’s recent head count puts the population at 7,953 — only 31 more people than were tallied three years ago. However, that number has been questioned by officials, considering that a large percentage — 13 per cent — of households did not participate in the census online and could not be reached by enumerators. “Some of us on council are questioning it, that’s for sure,” said Coun. Doug Bos. “There were a lot of new houses built.” “It’s hard to believe. Even if nobody moved into town, we should have had more babies born than that. “I know there were more babies born than that because my son had one of them,” quipped Bos. “To me, (the count) doesn’t seem right. There’s got to be something wrong.” Short counts are bad news for municipalities because many provincial and federal grants are based on per capita calculations. Innisfail’s supposedly limp growth is also at odds with other communities in Central Alberta. Blackfalds’ recent count showed a stunning 12-per-cent population surge in one year, to 8,793. Sylvan Lake showed strong growth. The town’s latest census counted 14,310 residents, up just under 10 per cent and 1,295 from the last count in 2013. The City of Red Deer’s latest census showed the population hit 100,807 — up 2.2 per cent from last year, and following 1.5 per cent and 5.7 per cent increases.

RED DEER CITY COUNCIL

Tour of Alberta cycles back to top of agenda BY ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer city council will hear why it should pass on hosting part of the 2016 Tour of Alberta if asked to have world-class race return to the city. A formal request to the city has not been made for the race to return in 2016, but there is the opportunity to host the first stage of the six-stage race focused primarily in Southern Alberta. At Monday’s city council meeting, city administration will recommend that the benefits derived from the tour do not justify the costs and risks. In both 2013 and 2014, Red Deer hosted a leg of the race. In the council agenda, administration reports that the cost to the city to host the race would be at least $340,000 and both the 2013 and 2014 tours failed to meet expectations when it came to economic benefits, job creation and volunteer opportunities. Also, Red Deer is already hosting both the 2016 Memorial Cup and the Canada Winter Games in 2019. Other issues on council’s agenda include: ● The Greater Downtown Action Plan Steering Committee wants city council to once again consider a year-round patio for Ross Street. ● Council will receive the 2014 annual report of the City of Red Deer Environmental Advisory Committee. ● A traffic bylaw amendment looking at speed limits and truck routes returns to council for second and third readings. The amendment will make the bylaw consistent with changes that have already been made to roadways, as well as address growth areas. ● A notice of motion submitted by Coun. Paul Harris to support Red Deer College in obtaining polytechnic university status returns for council’s consideration. ● A notice of motion submitted by Coun. Lynne Mulder returns that urges federal parties and candidates to make known their platforms on meeting Canada’s public transit needs of the future.

THEFT: Needless, disappointing Nixon, who is chair of the Canadian Honey Council, recalled some hive thefts a few years ago in the Grande Prairie and Leduc areas, but not in Central Alberta. He said the really sad part about it is could be another beekeeper. It’s a small industry with about 120 commercial beekeepers in Alberta, although urban and hobby beekeeping is taking off. “It’s just needless and disappointing. You lose trust in your community, whether it’s the community you live in or the beekeeping community.” Each stolen hive would stand about 1.2 metres (four feet) high, each made of four wooden boxes painted bright colours. Nixon estimated the hives, bees and honey were worth a total of $6,000. He is offering a $1,000 reward for their return. “Over the past few years, the value of hives has gone up. For us to purchase bees, it’s expensive. People don’t realize.” Nixon Honey Farm has honey bees pollinating

Dr. Rebecca Jackson, right, and registered veterinary technician Taylor Bachynski perform a neutering procedure on a dog named Rocky at the Lomsnes Veterinary Hospital in Red Deer on Thursday. Seven dogs and nine cats from Klassic Kennels were spayed or neutered Thursday as part of a donation from the clinic to the community. Through September, veterinarians and staff from the clinic will spay and neuter more animals from the SPCA, Alberta Animal Services, Hope Lives Here and, possibly, AARCS and Whisker Rescue. The campaign has been funded through the Lomsnes Veterinary Hospital’s Rose Fund, which is funded through generous donations from clients to the hospital. The Rose Fund has been helping rescue groups and people with financial concerns that request medical needs for their pets for the past 10 years. Anyone wishing to donate to the Rose Fund can help make a difference by contributing to the fund at the Lomsnes Veterinary Hospital in Red Deer. — which is a restricted weapon — and the careless storage of the assault rifle, as well as other offences. Hudson appeared in a Sherwood Park court Wednesday and pleaded guilty to five of 10 charges, including unsafe storage of a firearm, possession of an unlicensed weapon and possession of an unlawful device. He received a conditional sentence including nine months house arrest and nine months of living

under a curfew. Hudson, who is 49, says that he has tendered his resignation from the RCMP after nine years of service. During the hearing Hudson told court that the day he was accepted to be a police officer was the best of his life. “Because of what I’ve done, I’ve ruined all that,” he said.

crops in about 200 locations in the Red Deer area. Nixon is now looking at using a GPS tracking system to protect his hives. He said 2015 honey bee year has been good across Canada, even in Alberta after crops faced dry conditions in June and July. “Things did actually turn out decent for most beekeepers in Alberta. There are pockets where conditions were worse. Right now, I think we’re looking at an average crop. With all things considered we’re happy with that. It’s better than below average.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

BOOT CAMP: Drill team run by inmates “This is a program they built with the John Howard Society,” said Vey. Sometimes a worker from the John Howard Society comes in to help with the program but for the most part the inmates facilitate it themselves. “They have meetings at night and they share positive and negative feedback, they’ll feed off each other’s energy and they’ll come up with an action plan on how to help somebody.” There is also an inmate drill team. It is run by the inmates and practices regularly. The program started with one pod at the Edmon-

Numbers are unofficial.

CENSUS: Federal count next year Innisfail isn’t the only community to run into trouble trying to get an accurate fix on resident numbers. Three years ago, Lacombe chose to scrap its census after the numbers came in unlikely low. Only 11,002 Lacombe residents were counted — down from the last federal census in 2011 when 11,710 people were listed. City officials estimated that up to 1,200 households — possibly as high as 2,400 people — went uncounted. A 2015 Lacombe census was undertaken following a public information campaign and the numbers were a more accurate 12,728. Innisfail, and all other Canadian municipalities, will get a federal count next year as part of the national census conducted every five years. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Disciplinary action taken SENIOR GOVERNMENT MANAGERS WHO INTERFERED IN CONTRACTS PUNISHED EDMONTON — Alberta’s municipal affairs minister says three senior government managers who interfered in the awarding of contracts are facing disciplinary action. But Deron Bilous wouldn’t say Thursday if the three have been fired. “Disciplinary action is taking place. I’m unable to provide specifics on that,” Bilous said at a news conference at the Alberta legislature. “We do take this very, very seriously and ... I apologize for not being able to get into specifics.” Bilous also refused to say if the matter warrants bringing in police to conduct an investigation. The province’s public interest commissioner received several allegations late last year that staff in two departments ensured eight preferred individuals were top candidates for contracts. “We were able to confirm the frequency, dura-

tion and nature of the manipulations were a clear departure from the approved process and objective of open procurement,” Peter Hourihan said in a release. “These acts undermine confidence and trust in government generally, and in procurement specifically.” The contracts had potential or real values exceeding $100,000 each. Hourihan said none of the employees acted out of personal gain. He said they were attempting to simplify hiring and ensure their preferred candidates were successful. The commissioner’s investigation also found the managers knowingly directed or counselled others to commit wrongdoing under the Public Interest Disclosure Act. Two managers from the Department of Innovation and Advanced Education and one with Alberta Innovates were identified. “Our expectation is the department and Alberta Innovates implement appropriate changes to ad-

BRIEF Farmers denounce closure of agricultural archive LETHBRIDGE — The National Farmers Union says the federal government is “destroying history” by closing a southern Alberta agricultural archive. The union says years of studies by the Lethbridge Agriculture Canada research station are being thrown out under orders from Ottawa. A media relations officer for Agriculture Department has said the government is making digital copies of what it considers important. The farmers union says the research station’s reports are just the latest material in government libraries to be tossed, burned or sent to landfills. The farm group says any money saved by closing libraries pales when compared to the value of research that will be lost to future generations. Ian Robson, a Manitoba board member, questions how much material is being preserved digitally. “How much — if any — of the information was saved in an electronic format as the government claims?” Robson asked Thursday in a news release. “When these libraries are closed, facts and knowledge are destroyed,” added farmers union president Jan Slomp.

CANMORE — Two people “scrambling” on a mountain west of Calgary were seriously injured when they fell. Emergency crews were called to the Three Sisters mountains near Canmore around 2 p.m. Wednesday. Kananaskis Emergency Services and Canmore Fire got the two off the mountain and brought them to a nearby area, where they were met by EMS and Stars air ambulance. One was airlifted to Foothills Hospital in Calgary, while the other was taken to Canmore hospital by ground ambulance. A third person with the two was not hurt. Scrambling is climbing a rock face or mountain without a rope or other technical equipment.

Environment Minister, U.S. lawmakers, tour oilsands EDMONTON — Alberta’s environment minister is refuting opposition allegations that she wouldn’t meet with a delegation of U.S. lawmakers who toured the oilsands. Shannon Phillips says she met with the delegation, including Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who wants to become the party’s presidential candidate in the 2016 U.S. election. Phillips says it was a productive tour and they all agreed that Canadian energy and the oilsands are part of a strong relationship between the two coun-

dress these issues, including efforts to remedy a culture of acceptance surrounding these practices. Both authorities should also consider appropriate disciplinary action,” Hourihan said. Wildrose MLA Jason Nixon, the party’s democracy and accountability critic, was disappointed that there wasn’t more detail about what the managers did wrong. He was clear on what action the government should be taking. “We should be calling for the employees to be dismissed under Section 4 of the Public Interest Disclosure. Clearly to try and cover up something like this, the consequences should be pretty serious.” Bilous said the government will bring in a plan in all departments to make sure such problems don’t happen again. “We want to ensure that ... contracts go through a proper process and that we’re awarding and appointing folks based on merit, not based on who they know or if they have a membership card,” he said. tries. The Wildrose opposition accused the NDP of blowing off the delegation. Phillips says the final details of the meeting weren’t confirmed until Wednesday after the delegation had toured a carbon capture facility in Saskatchewan. Wildrose member Tany Yao says the NDP didn’t agree to meet with the delegation until after he offered to play host on behalf of the Alberta government.

Woman charged in what police call hate-motivated threats against cabbie CALGARY — A 24-year-old Calgary woman is accused of uttering threats against a taxi driver, an alleged crime police say was motivated by hate. A camera mounted inside the cab in July 2014 captured a woman verbally attacking the driver, including a comment that the employee should “not be allowed in her country.” Following a police investigation, the passenger was identified, arrested and charged. Det. Matt Baker says the taxi regulator gave police a USB stick with different instances of taxi assaults and property damage to taxis. Brittany Bachinsky of Calgary is charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. Police continue to investigate and are trying to identify Bachinsky’s fellow passengers. “We’re still looking for the male, front-seat passenger of that taxi who is facing potential charges of property damage and assault,” Baker said.

Can voters trust Tories? By the time Mike Duffy’s trial wraps up later this year, voters will already have rendered their election verdict on Stephen Harper. But regardless of whether the disgraced senator turns out to be guilty in the eye of the law, in the court of public opinion the tenuous case designed to insulate the Conservative leader from a scandal involvCHANTAL ing his closHÉBERT est aides has already been blown out of the water. From the outset, accepting Harper’s contention that he was unaware of the extraordinary decision of then-PMO chief of staff Nigel Wright to secretly reimburse Duffy’s unallowable expenses involved a significant leap of faith. And yet, until the latest court developments, more than a few parliamentary insiders — including veteran political journalists such as myself and,

INSIGHT

more importantly, CTV bureau chief Robert Fife, who broke the story — were willing to at least entertain the notion that Harper’s version of events could be true. For one, despite the talk of an allknowing omnipotent Prime Minister’s Office, files have been known to fall through the cracks. The fact that the PMO has its finger in virtually every government pie actually tends to make such occurrences more frequent. An octopus does not have eyes to match its many tentacles. As the PMO was dealing with Duffy, Wright and Harper had many other irons in the fire, including a major trade agreement with the European Union and the planning of a mid-mandate cabinet shuffle. And then, it was initially suggested that the loop within which Wright had operated was so small that the stratagem could have been engineered without Harper getting wind of it. That thesis fell apart when hundreds of email exchanges between Wright, various PMO staffers and the Conservative leadership in the Senate where brought to light by the RCMP investigation. As of that point, only a bit of chicken wire still held Harper’s story together

and it centred on the notion that Ray Novak, the aide most likely to have his back, was not in on the Duffy fix. In the words of campaign spokesperson Kory Teneycke, it would have been “unfathomable” in light of the close relationship between the two that Novak would not have shared the information with Harper. Teneycke made that categorical statement just before the Duffy trial heard compelling testimony that pointed to Novak being in the loop of Wright’s initiative. As a result, the last thread of Harper’s version is now so frayed that it speaks to his lack of an alternative explanation that he is still hanging on to it for dear life. For to continue to accept that version is also to accept two dubious propositions. One: that Novak — Harper’s handpicked replacement for Wright — never read one of the most politically sensitive admissions a PMO chief of staff has ever put in an email or, alternatively, that he did not hear about it from those who read their mail. Two: that his reported attendance at a meeting where the Duffy operation was discussed is a figment of the imagination of Ben Perrin, the former legal counsel to the PMO who testified

to it under oath. It has been argued that the reimbursement of Duffy’s expenses and the behind-the-scenes manoeuvring that attended it barely qualify as a scandal. On the scale of the fabricated evidence pertaining to the existence of weapons of mass destructions in Iraq offered as a rationale for the 2003 U.S.led offensive on that country, the Duffy affair would not necessarily register. But that still leaves voters with two questions to ponder between now and the Oct. 19 election. If Harper’s most trusted aides — many of whom are still in place — were willing to use every lever at their disposal to lie their way out of an embarrassment to the Conservative party, how far would they go to sway public opinion on a matter of central importance to the government and the country? And if voters — upon being presented with undeniable evidence of a high-level cover-up designed to mislead them — are content to look the other way, how can they expect future governments to think twice about the risks of fooling Canadians into believing whatever best serves their partisan purpose? Chantal Hebert is a syndicated Toronto Star national affairs columnist.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Justice was not served in case of Jessica Masyk It was with mixed feelings that I read the admittance of guilt by Jessica Masyk in the death of 18-year-old Trystan Sorensen on May 20 of last year. While her guilty plea to three lesser counts was welcome, it pales in comparison to admitting responsibility in the death of Sorensen. The 10,000-foot-view of the situation gives her admission a ‘see what I can get away with’ appearance. Her guilty plea to failing to stop at a collision begs the question: She admits being present, but what happened? Filing a false police report belies a character issue. A driving while disqualified admission insinuates knowledge of wrongdoing, but no remorse. Masyk has had numerous charges dismissed for various reasons, and of the dozens of violations, three remain with many other charges waiting to come to trial. Again, the 10,000-foot view casts a ‘consolation prize’ aspect to the sentencing of Masyk. A look back into her trial history and interactions with law enforcement reveals an out-of-control young lady. As Sorensen states in the front page article, the whole “thing has been a travesty of justice,” and despite the best efforts of the Crown and law enforcement officials, the destructive behaviours of Masyk have yet to be met with consequences for her actions. What, then is the solution? More resources for law enforcement? Stricter laws? A supreme court that meets organized crime head on with tangible sentences? These solutions are at best plausible for reasonable, responsible citizens. Extraordinary circumstances demand extraordinary measures. Perhaps it is time for society to force those making laws to pay attention to those who have empowered them. Make hit-and-run driving a minimum five or 10 year sentence — no question. Put those who willingly cross the line and drive while under the influence under stricter penalties. This is a sad day for justice in Central Alberta. Tim Lasiuta Red Deer

We need a new perspective on the homeless puzzle I was upset when I read Red Deer City Coun. Ken Johnston’s justification for not supporting the warming centre at the proposed location in the Riverland’s district. He said that the businesses are feeling very marginalized and that we are at a tipping point in regards to the relationships between our homeless population and the business community. While I agree that we are at a tipping point, I would argue a different definition of the word marginalized. I had a two-minute conversation with a gentleman warming up in a bank lobby one night. I asked him his name and if he knew where the shelters were. He replied that he was just waiting for them to open. I shook his hand and wished him a safe night. His response startled me. He said “Thanks for noticing me.” This is the definition of marginalized. Taxpaying business owners have no problem coming to city council with their concerns: homeless people don’t necessarily consider their viewpoints to have weight in a society that in many subtle and not so subtle ways says that they don’t matter. Until we as a society stop regarding homeless people as the problem, and consider that maybe they

are the symptom of the problem, we will continue to have this same circular argument every time we need to address this in our city. The real problem is a lack of connectivity in society, perceived and otherwise, that drives our most vulnerable population to the street and all the behaviours that come with that. Another point that I felt was not considered is that the facility would be staffed by people who are experienced and have a great relationship with our homeless population. I would argue that undesirable behaviour such as panhandling and drug activity would actually decrease because the staff and many of its clients are very aware of the importance of maintaining good relations with their business neighbours. Different interventions and strategies would be used to make sure incidents would be minimized or reduced altogether. I look forward to the day when these issues can finally be resolved. Until then we are doomed to this repetitive cycle of “not in my backyard.” Anna Brandon Red Deer

Does corruption run rampant in the halls of power? Should a prime minister face charges involving corruption? If a politician of some power was to appoint a person to the Senate who is widely believed ineligible, for political purposes like fundraising and not for the sole purpose the Senate was created for (the issuance of sober second thought), would that politician be deemed corrupt? Would the giving of, or approving of cash whether it be $30,000 or $90,000 to cover a senator’s bill for the sake of preventing the exposure of political scandals be deemed corrupt? If a politician or his direct subordinates were to strive to amend an independent audit of an independent body like the Senate, would that not be deemed

corrupt? If a politician thwarts or directs the outcome of independent committees and the Senate, would that not be deemed corrupt? The Senate was set up to ensure sober second thought on legislation passed by Parliament, but has become mainly a patronage trough for political loyalists and fundraisers. Would this mean systemic corruption? The Mike Duffy trial is exposing the travesty called the Senate and how far it denigrated since Confederation. It exposes the distance the Senate has strayed from its intended purposes and independence. It also exposed the expensive actions for political damage control in Canada’s highest office. Should a prime minister be charged with corruption or should there have been safety measures to prevent these actions from occurring? The prime minister should not have appointed Duffy to the Senate representing P.E.I. because it was general knowledge that Duffy lived in Ottawa, and has so quite openly for decades. He has a cottage in P.E.I. but he was clearly not a resident of P.E.I. That aside, Duffy was spending the majority of time doing political fundraising and promoting, while being paid by taxpayers to offer sober second thought. We may see similar scenarios with other senators in the near future. Should a prime minister be investigated for corruption? Should his staff and advisors? Is plausible deniability a strong defence, or should the prime minister be held accountable for creating a culture that would even allow an occurrence of such a defence? We could look at investigating senators for allowing the Senate to be corrupted. We could look at opposition members who did not protest such actions but merely accepted them as part and parcel of politics. The courts would be busy, parliament would be stymied, the Senate would struggle to be relevant and government would come to a halt. Good people must not remain mute, while bad people do anything deemed corrupt. Garfield Marks Red Deer

Harper swings hammer at Liberal building plan OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau is out to build some campaign momentum with a big-ticket, multibillion-dollar infrastructure plan — and Stephen Harper is wasting no time in trying to tear him down. Trudeau’s campaign event Thursday in Oakville, Ont., complete with a crane and supporters wearing red hard hats, was framed as a major plank in the Liberal platform — one aimed at both stimulating a faltering economy and shoring up the country’s crumbling roads, bridges and public facilities. He billed it as a necessary investment in future generations — one that would require a Liberal government to run modest, short-term deficits until 2019 in order to kickstart the economy. That willingness to leave the budget out of balance has separated Trudeau from Harper and — in a surprising role-reversal — NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, who both say they would bring in balanced budgets immediately. “I will be open and transparent and tell the truth about our plans and I certainly hope Mr. Harper and Mr. Mulcair will begin to be open and transparent about their plans,” Trudeau said. While doubling current federal in-

frastructure funding, any shortfalls in the federal treasury over the next two years would be capped at $10 billion per year, he added. The prospect of a deficit-friendly Liberal government was a sledgehammer Harper needed no invitation to pick up and swing. “Mr. Trudeau has made tens of billions of dollars of spending promises ... he has no idea what he’s talking about when it comes to these things,” the Conservative leader said. “That’s why you could be sure that his small deficits will become large deficits and would get Canada into the same pickle of high taxes and program cuts that we had under the last Liberal government.” The Conservative government’s own infrastructure program was three times higher than that of its Liberal predecessor, he added. Harper promised some modest new spending of his own, pledging $40 million to a loan program to help new Canadians while they complete the foreign credential recognition process. The funding would be over five years, on top of the $35 million already allotted for it in this year’s budget. Mulcair was campaigning in Toronto with former Saskatchewan finance minister Andrew Thompson. The New Democrats are touting

Thompson’s record of balancing his province’s budget in 2006 and 2007 after Mulcair said unequivocally this week that an NDP government would balance its first budget. It’s all made for a dizzying U-turn on the Canadian political spectrum: the Liberals openly acknowledging a plan to spend billions and run deficits, and the NDP insisting they have found religion when it comes to the merits of balanced books. A pivot of a different sort also appeared to be taking shape on the New Democrat campaign Thursday. Mulcair said an NDP government would still seek to reverse cuts to provincial health transfers — one of the party’s long-standing promises — but he suggested it wouldn’t happen soon, because it appears the Conservatives wouldn’t be leaving much of a budget surplus behind. Last summer, Mulcair said it would be a top priority to put any surplus towards countering Harper’s plan to begin slowing the rate of increases in federal health care transfers two years from now. Over the next 10 years, the current plan means the provinces would receive $36 billion less in health transfers.

Man accused of sending letter bomb to lawyer seeking bail BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — A man accused of sending a letter bomb that severely injured a lawyer and attempting to kill two other people with explosive devices was in court Thursday seeking bail. Lawyer Maria Mitousis lost a hand and suffered other serious injuries in the July 3 blast. Guido Amsel is facing more than a dozen criminal charges in the explosion, as well as charges related to other explosive devices disposed of by police at two other Winnipeg law firms. The charges include three counts of attempted murder. Amsel wore a dark suit and sat passively during the bail hearing. Details are covered by a publication ban.

BRIEF Judge reserves decision as legal battle in cyberbullying case wraps up HALIFAX — An anti-cyberbullying law drafted in response to the Rehtaeh Parsons case was defended Thursday as necessary to fill in significant gaps in the criminal law. Nova Scotia’s Cyber-safety Act is the subject of a Charter challenge by Halifax lawyer David Fraser as part of a case involving client Robert Snell, who was placed under a cyber safety protection order sought by his former business partner Giles Crouch last December. Fraser says the law is too broad and is an “unreasonable and unjustified” infringement of freedom of expression rights. The Crown wrapped up its arguments Thursday in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia after Judge Glen Mac-

His current wife wept and was comforted by supporters in the front row as Amsel was brought into the courtroom. The Crown said it would oppose Amsel’s release. The 49-year-old has been in custody since July 5. Martin Glazer, Amsel’s lawyer, has said previously that his client denies all the accusations against him and that the case is based on “circumstantial evidence that has an innocent explanation.” Police allege Amsel was targeting his former wife and the lawyers who were involved in a lengthy legal dispute between the couple. Mitousis underwent 12 hours of surgery for injuries to her upper body and thighs. She is no longer in hospital but faces a long recovery. She has said she plans to return to work. Another bomb was sent to an au-

to repair shop where Amsel’s ex-wife works. A third went to a law firm Amsel had hired in a legal battle with his former wife over money from a business the couple owned. Court documents detail a bitter divorce between Amsel and his ex-wife, Iris, including a lawsuit over money from the company they used to jointly run. Records show Amsel appeared to drop his legal battle earlier this year. He withdrew accusations that his former wife had stolen money from the company and agreed, after years of denial, that he owed her $40,000. Amsel agreed to auction off vehicles and equipment to pay her. The auction was scheduled for eight days after the first letter-bomb exploded, but was postponed.

Dougall ruled earlier that the protection order should be maintained. MacDougall reserved his decision on the Charter argument. Following the Crown’s submission, Crouch’s lawyer Laura Veniot told the court that most clients affected by cyberbullying aren’t looking to sue for defamation and simply want the online content removed and the offender to stop.

OTTAWA — Emails sent to Prime Minister Stephen Harper in June suggested that some Canadians didn’t trust politicians to police their own spending and wanted the auditor general to look at their books. The emails to the Prime Minister’s Office in early June offer a window into the reaction of Canadians as details of a troubling Senate expense audit were released. The report named nine senators whose files were sent to the RCMP for review and 21 others were ordered to repay thousands of dollars in questionable expenses. “Our auditor general, who is beholding (sic) only to Canadian taxpayers, must have access to audit all government expenses in order to restore integrity to our federal government and House of Commons,” said an email from Nova Scotia. “The political party who pushes for open and honest government will have the courage to invite the auditor general to inspect the expenses of all members of Parliament.” Another writer sent in a link to a media report about the 30 senators singled out in the audit: “Would it not be nice? Appropriate? Only fair? To see a comparable list for our federal MPs? Including the PM & his cabinet?” The messages were sent to Harper’s office the day before and the day of the release of the Senate audit. They were released to The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. Names and addresses of the writers were redacted. In the wake of auditor general Michael Ferguson’s report, the Conservatives, NDP and Liberals all threw their support behind the idea of giving him access to MP spending. Some of the emails said this should be an election issue, but it has been overshadowed on the campaign by a focus on the Mike Duffy trial. Questions about Duffy have dogged Harper through the campaign, much to the chagrin of Conservative faithful. One of those party members wrote to the PMO office in June. “Harper led Canada through one the devastating economic downturns in the economy — and we successfully emerged with one of the leading economies in the world,” the email reads. “Why is determining the future of the Senate suddenly such a high priority?” Harper has vowed not to appoint new senators, although he is being challenged in court for allowing vacancies to pile up. The Liberals want to overhaul the Senate selection process. The NDP proposes abolition of the upper chamber, even though that would require a provincial agreement. One letter writer said Canadians were ready for “some long, drawn-out debates to eliminate the Senate.” Other writers, however, were looking for an appointment to one of the 22 vacancies.

Fahmy braces for verdict in Cairo BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Mohamed Fahmy hopes this weekend will mark an end to his drawn-out legal nightmare. A Cairo court is expected — once again — to deliver a verdict Saturday for the Canadian journalist on trial for widely denounced terror charges and Fahmy is cautiously optimistic. “We feel like Mohamed Fahmy this is the finale,” he told The Canadian Press. “We have suffered immensely for the past 20 months, financially, emotionally, physically, we just want this nightmare to be over.” Fahmy and two of his colleagues were working for satellite news broadcaster Al Jazeera English when they were arrested at the end of 2013. They were accused by the Egyptian government of supporting a rival political organization and undermining national security through their media coverage. The trio spent more than a year in prison before an appeal of their convictions resulted in a second trial, although one of them, Australian Peter Greste, was abruptly deported. Fahmy and his other colleague, Egyptian Baher Mohamed, were granted bail after the start of their retrial, which is set to culminate in a final ruling this weekend. Fahmy’s verdict has already been postponed twice this summer after the judge presiding over his case was reportedly taken ill. This time, however, Fahmy’s lawyers and others close to the case have indicated a ruling is highly likely, he said. There are a number of possible outcomes, including an acquittal, credit for the 14 months Fahmy already spent in prison, a suspended sentence or even a return back to a cell.

If he is sent back behind bars, his high-profile lawyer Amal Clooney, who will be in court with him, will immediately push for a presidential pardon and for Fahmy to leave the country under a law that allows for the deportation of foreigners convicted of crimes, he said. “My worst nightmare is going back to that prison cell and having to go through this whole tormenting emotional process again,” he said. Since his last court date, at the beginning of August, Fahmy has been busy advocating for the release of other imprisoned journalists and appearing on Egyptian talk shows to discuss his own case. His efforts come at a time when Egypt has passed new laws that make it more likely for other journalists to end up behind bars. The new rules, which the country’s president signed off on earlier this month, define terrorism very broadly as “any act that disturbs public order with force.” Journalists are explicitly banned from reporting news that contradicts official government statements, and people found breaching the sweeping laws can face penalties ranging from hefty fines to lengthy prison sentences. The new laws already appeared to be taking effect — on Wednesday, there were reports that Egyptian newspapers were prevented from being printed or circulated because they had content critical of the country’s president. Fahmy said the laws will make it very likely that other journalists will find themselves in situations like his, which is why he has been speaking publicly about freedom of the press. “I have no interest in the politics of Egypt,” he said. “My interest is focused on freeing myself and championing freedom of expression.” He also noted that while he had no political ambitions, his case was fraught with political undertones because Al Jazeera is owned by Qatar, which has had a tense relationship with Egypt ever since the Egyptian military ousted the country’s former president Mohamed Morsi amid massive protests.

B.C. court hears Pickton sex assault victim deserves costs Boy catches 220-kg bluefin tuna

Koen Norton, a 10-year-old boy from Prince Edward Island, poses with a 220-kilogram bluefin tuna he landed off the province’s northeastern shore.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Whatever happened to a woman inside a trailer amounts to sexual assault, says a judge who must decide whether serial killer Robert Pickton’s brother should pay costs. B.C. Supreme Court Justice George Macintosh said a jury decided that David Pickton’s actions were at the “modest end.” He either “slapped her on the ass” or allegedly felt her genitals through her jeans and threatened to rape and kill her, Macintosh said. “He’s an unorthodox man, there’s absolutely no doubt about that. He’s rough and he’s tough and he certainly behaves in ways that probably most of us are not enamoured of,” Macintosh said. “But there is such a spectrum of dispute as to what happened in the trailer.” David Pickton was convicted more than two decades ago for the 1991 attack on a woman at a construction site in Burnaby, B.C. Lawyers for Pickton and the woman were in court Thursday seeking a decision on costs after the civil trial over the matter concluded in June. Jurors awarded the woman $45,000, including $20,000 in punitive damages, in part for finding that Pickton had inflicted lasting psychological trauma.

She had been seeking upwards of $1 million, court heard. Pickton was fined $1,000 when he was convicted and handed one year’s probation. The Canadian Press does not name victims of sexual assault. On Thursday, the woman’s lawyer said she refused to settle the civil claim for $50,000 because Pickton called her a thief and a liar. Jason Gratl said Pickton made the offer about six weeks before trial, but she went to court because he denied the attack was a sexual assault. Gratl said Pickton’s response to her lawsuit was that the woman was caught trespassing in his trailer. He believed she was going to steal property so he applied the “minimal amount of force” to make her leave — which he admitted involved him hitting her on the buttocks with an open hand, court heard. “It’s not just that she wanted to have her day in court,” Gratl said about his client’s decision not to take the settlement. “He has attacked her character in the response to civil claim. It would be a defamation if not for the privilege associated with lawsuits.” The woman is seeking $50,000 to $60,000 in addition to the damages she won in the trial, Gratl said outside court.

off P.E.I.’s north shore BY THE CANADIAN PRESS NAUFRAGE, P.E.I. — A 10-year-old boy from Prince Edward Island who recently reeled in a mammoth 220-kilogram bluefin tuna off the province’s northeastern shore says he’s not quite satisfied with his potentially recordbreaking catch. Koen Norton set out on his family’s charter boat on Sunday in Naufrage Harbour hoping to break the International Game Fish Association’s record for the biggest tuna ever caught by a boy aged 10 and under using the standup fishing technique. Norton said it was a thrilling experience landing the monster fish, which weighs more than four times as much as he does. “Around 1:25 p.m., we hooked up and I fought him for about an hour and then he got tired and I got him up to the boat,” Norton, who has been fishing for half his life, said in a phone interview from his family’s boat in Naufrage, P.E.I. “I pulled the rod up and I felt him and I could feel that he was big... and I was thinking that I was going to have the record.”

His father Greg Norton said the previous record was set earlier this month by two brothers from Tasmania, who landed two tunas weighing in at 112 kilograms and 122 kilograms. He said before that, the record was only 27 kilograms. Although his son’s potential record blows the previous ones out of the water, Norton said the family is not sending in the application papers just yet. He said Koen was back out on the water Thursday trying to land an even bigger tuna. “He did really well fighting that fish,” said Greg Norton, adding that a handful of family members were on the boat cheering him on. “That’s why he wants to try for an even bigger one.” Norton said his son reeled in the fish without any help, one of the requirements of the association’s record. Koen said the stand-up fishing technique involves squatting and reeling in when standing up from the squat. He said when the tuna tries to rest, he keeps reeling. His father said catching large tuna of up to 400 kilograms is not uncommon in the Maritimes, but a 45 kilogram 10-year-old boy catching one of this size is unusual.

Sutter content with Rebels roster BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Red Deer Rebels boss Brent Sutter isn’t losing any sleep these days regarding roster concerns. The Rebels GM/head coach is content with a contingent of roughly 20 players participating in the opening practices of training camp today at the Centrium. The group includes returning goalies Rylan Toth and Trevor Martin, 14 returning skaters and four to five mostly-proven newcomers. The strength of the club appears, once again, to be the blueline, although Sutter added three forwards during the off-season, two of which — Ivan Nikolishin, acquired from Everett, and Michael Spacek, selected in the import draft — figure to play on the club’s top two lines this season. Regarding the defence, Sutter, while looking ahead to this season and the Memorial Cup tournament next May at the Centrium, last year brought in — via the trade route — Nelson Nogier and Colton Bobyk, preferring to make the moves well ahead of time as a means of getting the players well settled and versed in the team’s systems and philosophies. “We made some key acquisitions last season and improved our back end,” Sutter said Thursday. “And when we were able to get the two Europeans in Nikolishin and Spacek and Lane Pederson in the trade (with Seattle) for Taz Burman, we added three pretty skilled players to our front end. “I like our team. I like our size and I like our skill sets. If the season started today, I’d be very comfortable with our roster, and yet we’ll see how it goes and where this group is going to take us. “If we have to add something here or there, we will. But I do like the group we have right now.” All of the returning forwards and rearguards are basically pencilled into the 2015-16 lineup, as well as the three off-season acquisitions and goalies Toth and Martin. There’s room for perhaps four to six more players on the 2016 Memorial Cup hosting Rebels, including two defencemen. “We have 21 players here we’re very comfortable with, but I’d like to start the season with 25,” said Sutter. “We probably need to add one or two defencemen through camp, and as for the forwards, we’ll let that sort itself out.” With the Rebels probable roster featuring an abundance of experience, American forward Austin Pratt stands to be the lone 16-year-old on the team this season. “With us hosting (the Memorial Cup) it’s going

The Red Deer Rebels traded for Colton Bobyk last season so the player could get settled and versed in the team’s systems and philosophies well ahead of the Memorial Cup. to be a difficult year for 16-year-olds (to make the club),” said Sutter. “That being said, I don’t want to be just a team where we’re building for one year and then the next year we’ve fallen right off again. We have to make sure that we do this the right way so that we continue to grow with our team.” The main candidates for the two available blueline berths are likely Ryan Pouliot, Austin Shmoorkoff, Cale Chalifoux and Boedy Donald, while Jack McClelland is in the running to snare one of perhaps two open forward spots. McClelland,

who calls Wichita Kan., home, is the son of former Edmonton Oilers tough guy Kevin McClelland and played five games with the Vancouver Giants last season. The Rebels entered the 2014-15 season with inexperienced major junior goaltending, and while Burman struggled before settling down for the second half of the campaign, Toth steadily improved as the club’s No. 1 stopper.

Alouettes take down Ticats to end home win streak

Walker, Franklin to start for Eskimos against Argos

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Alouettes 26 Tiger-Cats 23 HAMILTON — The Montreal Alouettes defence has sent a message. “I think we’re the best defence in the league,” said cornerback Jonathan Hefney after Montreal beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 26-23 Thursday night — handing them their first-ever loss at Tim Hortons Field. The Alouettes defence recorded six sacks, one interception and two fumble recoveries while holding the league’s hottest offence to just 23 points. It snapped Hamilton’s win streak at five games — a streak in which the Ticats had scored at least 30 points in each of those games. It was their first home loss in 11 games since the new stadium opened last year. Montreal’s Kyries Hebert intercepted Zach Collaros at the Als’ 30-yard line with 30 seconds left to seal the victory. “We’re going to go out there and perform that way every week,” said Hefney, who had two tackles. “We’re going out there to try and make plays and it just happened that we made enough plays today to go out there and get a win. I don’t take anything from that team. They’re a great team... We know it’s a challenge but we want to win that challenge every week.” Backup quarterback Tanner Marsh led the Alouettes after Rakeem Cato went down in the second quarter with a hip pointer. Cato was injured on a sack by Eric Norwood and finished the game 4-of-7 passing for 115 yards and one touchdown. Marsh completed 11-of-18 pass attempts for 99 yards and one interception, while adding a rushing TD. “It felt amazing being out there,” said Marsh. “Just helping this team whenever I can. I’m too excited to even express my feelings right now. It was an awesome win, a huge team win. The defence came up huge right there. The team stuck with me. It was awesome.” Montreal (4-5) spoiled the party on a night where the crowd celebrated the career of legendary Tiger-Cats defensive lineman Angelo Mosca, who had his No. 68 retired. The win is also the Als’ second over Hamilton (6-3) — guaranteeing them the season series. Luke Tasker and Jeff Mathews scored touchdowns for the TigerCats. Brandon Rutley also scored for Montreal. Collaros completed 20-of-27 pass attempts for 293 yards, one TD and one interception.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ Zach Collaros, right, avoids getting sacked by Montreal Alouettes’ Winston Venable during the first-half of CFL action in Hamilton, Ont., on Thursday. “If you don’t come ready to play, you’re going to get beat,” said Collaros. “We didn’t play well in all three phases of the game.” Montreal kicker Boris Bede was good on three of four fieldgoal attempts, hitting from 31, 23 and 28 yards and missing from 45. His 28-yarder gave the Alouettes the lead with 1:10 left. Hamilton kicker Justin Medlock hit all three field-goal attempts, from 37, 49 and 48 yards. It was Montreal’s first game with Jim Popp as head coach after firing Tom Higgins following a win last week against B.C. He said they stuck with the game plan, even after Cato went down. “We did what we had to do,” he said. “We finished strong and made plays down the stretch.” The last team to beat the Ticats was Montreal on July 16. Hamilton looked unsteady on

both sides of the ball all game. They finally put a scoring drive together with 10 minutes left to tie the game 23-23, finishing a 72-yard eight-play drive with a two-yard TD rush by backup quarterback Jeff Mathews. Montreal marched back downfield eating up 5:52 on the clock with a 72-yard 12-play drive, including converting a third-andone on the Hamilton 39. NOTES: Mosca’s number is only the second to be retired in Hamilton. Quarterback Bernie Faloney’s No. 10 was retired in 1999. Mosca, 78, played for Hamilton in 195859 and from 1963 to 1972, retiring after the Ticats’ 13-10 Grey Cup victory over Saskatchewan at Ivor Wynne Stadium. The five-time CFL all-star appeared in nine Grey Cup championship games, winning five. The game was a sellout of 24,212.

EDMONTON — Derel Walker and James Franklin’s instant chemistry has propelled them into starting roles with the Edmonton Eskimos. Franklin will be the quarterback for Edmonton on Friday against the Toronto Argonauts after impressing Eskimos coaching staff enough in his relief roles through the first eight games. Walker will be one of his favourite targets after being so effective the past few weeks. The CFL rookies, fresh out of the NCAA’s Southeastern Conference, connected over their college roots in the pre-season. “It’s the SEC, he’s Texas A&M and I’m University of Missouri,” Franklin said when asked where the rapport between the two came from. “I don’t know, I just like throwing to him. He’s a good receiver. He can get a jump ball, back shoulder, down field, ground ball, he can catch all of them. And he can get open. It’s nothing we do extra,” he added. “It’s not like we meet extra or go over things extra. It’s just one of those things.” It’s at least partly because the two, both 24 years olds who went to the Eskimos mini camp in Florida hoping to get a tryout with the team, have been playing so much pitch and catch while waiting to get playing time. “We took a lot of reps with each other, starting from the mini camp in Vero Beach,” said Walker. “He was throwing me the ball then, we have a good connection, something that develops over time and reps. I guess he trusts me.” Walker, a six-foot-two, 185-pound wide receiver out of Texas A&M, didn’t get on the roster until two games back but head coach Chris Jones had to keep him in the lineup for last week’s game. “I come every day ready to work, so I figure something good would come from it eventually,” Walker said. “I guess I was in the right spot at the right time.” He got on the roster when No. 1 receiver Adarius Bowman was injured. In two games he has 24 catches for 308 yards, most of those coming on passes from Franklin after he came on in relief of Matt Nichols. Franklin has completed 42 of 67 passes, a 62.7 per cent completion rate, for 533 yards, five touchdowns and just one interception. Franklin didn’t play quarterback until his junior year in high school, largely because he was too big. School rules had weight limits and in Grade 5 Franklin weighed 185 pounds “so I had to play lineman, defensive backb& I couldn’t touch the ball. “I was big boned, big stomach, big eyes,” the softspoken, ever polite Franklin said of his early years. “In sixth grade I went to a church camp and they had this pizza contest. They were pretty big slices. I had 23 and I had six milk shakes.” But he picked up the quarterbacking skills in a hurry. As a college sophomore in 2011, Franklin was named MVP of the Independence Bowl after leading Missouri to a 41-24 victory over North Carolina, accounting for 274 total yards of offence and three touchdowns. He had surgery on his throwing shoulder in 2012, missing half that season, but as a senior in 2013 he led Missouri to victory in the Cotton Bowl. So being the starting quarterback is nothing new, although it’s now in the pro ranks. “It’s a different mindset b& coming off the bench versus starting,” he agreed. “I have to be smarter, can’t always throw deep and things like that. Have to be able to keep the offence on the field, get first downs and move the ball. That’s real important and the biggest things is focusing on being a starter and having that mindset.”

Blue Jays’ streak snapped after Bautista blunder Rangers 4 Blue Jays 1 ARLINGTON, Texas — Jose Bautista charged hard and reached down. Toronto’s right fielder quickly realized that the ball went under his glove and was rolling toward the warning track. Bautista’s error in the seventh inning led to three Texas runs, as Delino DeShields kept running all the way home, and the AL East-leading Blue Jays closed an otherwise-impressive trip with a 4-1 loss Thursday. It ended their five-game winning streak. “Obviously, the road trip was a successful one. It would have been a superb one if we’d been able to pull that one out,” Bautista said. “I opened up the score for them. But mistakes happen. I don’t think this loss is going to affect us in any way.” Toronto went 6-2 on the trip, taking sole possession of the AL East lead from the New York Yankees by winning the first two games at the wild card-chasing Rangers. “I’m very pleased with the way the guys played,” manager John Gibbons said, referring to the trip. Yovanni Gallardo (11-9) threw 5 1-3 scoreless innings for his 100th career victory. The right-hander gave up three hits while striking out two and walking three on 101 pitches. The Blue Jays lead the majors with 5.4 runs per game, and had outscored opponents 54-19 during their recent winning streak. Gallardo has thrown 13 2-3 scoreless innings in two starts against them this season. Gallardo became the fourth native of Mexico to win 100 games, joining Fernando Valenzuela (173), Esteban Loaiza (126) and Ismael Valdez (104). “It just shows a lot of hard work, throughout the years, and it’s definitely exciting,” said Gallardo, the righthander who improved to 100-73 in 241 career games with Milwaukee (2007-14) and Texas. DeShields had a part in every run even without an RBI. On the ball he hit in the seventh, slow-running catcher Bobby Wilson was going to be held up at third until the ball got past Bautista. Rather than bases loaded, Wilson and Hanser Alberto scored with the speedy DeShields following close behind. “I just attacked the ball too hard. The outfield grass is cut kind of funky. You get a lot of balls that kind of snake around,” Bautista said. “I knew who was running at second. I knew they were going to stop him.”

Texas never trailed after DeShields drew a walk from Marco Estrada (11-8) in the first and scored on Mitch Moreland’s single. DeShields finished 2 for 2 with three walks. Estrada struck out six in six innings, and has allowed only nine runs in his last six starts. Edwin Encarnacion stretched his hitting streak to 22 games, the longest in the majors this season, with an RBI double in the Toronto eighth. He hit a scorching liner that got past DeShields in right-centre as Bautista scored from first. Shawn Tolleson worked the ninth for his 26th save in 28 chances. He had converted 12 straight before Tuesday night’s series opener, when he gave up two runs in the ninth inning of a 6-5 loss. TULO THE DH Troy Tulowitzki was the DH for the first time in his 10 major league seasons. Gibbons had planned to give him a day off, but Tulowitzki entered a .458 career hitter (11 for 24) against Gallardo. Tulowitzki was 0 for 5 in the series finale. His first three at-bats came against Gallardo before grounding into an inning-ending double play against Sam Dyson with the bases loaded in the seventh. LEFT PLAYS Ben Revere of the Blue Jays made a back-handed catch with his arm fully extended and running into the leftfield corner to rob Alberto of a hit in the fifth. That was the second-best play by a left fielder in the game. Recently acquired Texas outfielder Will Venable made a long run, then leaped in the air to make a backhanded catch before falling flat to the ground in the left-centre gap to end the second and strand a runner. “Really, if he doesn’t make that catch there, it’s a different story in this ballgame,” manager Jeff Banister said. TRAINER’S ROOM Rangers: 2B Rougned Odor missed his second straight game since splitting the nail on the middle finger of his right hand Tuesday night. Banister had said Odor could possibly pinch-hit or pinch-run, but wasn’t used Thursday. UP NEXT Blue Jays: After an eight-game trip, Toronto opens a nine-game homestand Friday night against Detroit. Rangers: Cole Hamels starts for the Rangers in the opener of a three-game series Friday night against fellow wildcard contender Baltimore, which has won five of its last six games in Texas.

REBELS: Comfortable Sutter is confident the 19-year-old can successfully shoulder the majority of the goaltending duties this season. “We wouldn’t have moved Burman if we weren’t comfortable with (Toth) and we weren’t comfortable with Martin as a second guy,” said Sutter. “Martin had an outstanding year in the SJHL and although he played in just one game with us last season, he was stellar.” Red Deer native Dawson Weatherill and Solomon Burk of Castlegar, B.C., are the other goalies in main camp. If Weatherill, 16, suits up with the midget AAA Red Deer Optimist Chiefs this winter, as expected, he’ll possibly be available to the WHL Rebels in the event of an injury. “We’re very comfortable with our goaltending,” said Sutter. “I know that’s the one question that’s always asked — how’s your goaltending? “Look around the league, we’re as comfortable with our goaltending as any team in the league. That’s where goaltending is in the WHL. You have to develop your own goalies and that’s why we’ve focused in on drafting a goaltender every couple of years.” Returning players, in particular, are always enthused about registering for training camp. With the Memorial Cup tournament on the horizon, Sutter has noticed a little extra enthusiasm among the veterans. “I think it’s just natural, it’s a natural thing,” he said. “But for us it’s really important to focus on the process of playing a good team game night in and night out. “We’re going to go through some peaks and valleys through the year which all teams do. It’s just a matter of handling it the right way and making sure we’re a real good regular season team and a very good playoff team. It’s not about thinking about May right now, but about all the steps to get there.” Rebels training camp — with the rookie sessions starting Sunday — concludes Wednesday with the Black and White intrasquad game at 7 p.m. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Bolt blows by field for another gold BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING — Only when the running stopped and the picture-taking began did Usain Bolt finally meet his match. Bolt blew past Justin Gatlin and everyone else Thursday night in the 200 metres to win his 10th career gold medal at the world championships. What finally upended the 6-foot-5 Jamaican was a multitasking cameraman riding a two-wheeled scooter while videotaping Bolt’s victory lap. The scooter ran over the outcropping of a metal railing bolted to the edge of the track and bobbled off course — then slammed into the back of the fastest two legs on the planet. Bolt’s legs came out from under him and he went down hard and landed on his backside. Then, smooth as silk, he somersaulted backward onto his feet, jogged a few steps, and reached down to make sure his left leg was OK. He was no worse for wear — reporting just a few scrapes — but figured he’d try to make the evening at least a little more interesting. “The rumour I’m trying to start right now is that Justin Gatlin paid him off,” Bolt said, while sitting next to Gatlin in the medallists ’ news conference. Gatlin’s response: “I want my money back. He didn’t complete the job.” Indeed, it may take more than just a motivated opponent to finish off Bolt, who now has five gold medals at the Bird’s Nest, including the three he took at the 2008 Beijing Olympics when he set world records in the 100, 200 and the 400 relay. The split-second scare with the scooter provided what Bolt’s season-best 19.55 seconds on the track did not.

Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, left, celebrates after winning the men’s 200m final at the World Athletics Championships at the Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing, Thursday. United States’ Justin Gatlin, second from right, was second. Namely, drama. This was billed as the second round of the Bolt vs. Gatlin series that produced the champion’s grittiest win four nights earlier. Bolt’s 0.01-second victory in the 100 came despite a year’s worth of injuries and off-form running that continued all the way through the semifinals. Like most sequels, Part II didn’t live up to the original. Running out of Lane 6, Bolt got off to a good start and worked smoothly into the curve, making up the lag to the runners to his outside and gathering steam as he head-

Melissa Bishop sets Canadian record in 800 to book spot in world final BEIJING — Melissa Bishop glanced over her shoulder at the scoreboard one final time Thursday night, as if to make sure she’d read it correctly. Then moments after making history in the women’s 800 metres, she switched her focus fully to Saturday night, and the final at the world track and field championships. The 27-year-old from Eganville, Ont., shattered Diane Cummins’ 14-year-old Canadian record, racing to a blistering time of one minute 57.52 seconds in a tactically-perfect race. It was the fastest time of the night out of three semifinals. “I need to call Diane. I’m very excited,” she said, of her friend and longtime Canadian middle-distance star. Bishop didn’t have long to soak in the excitement. She spoke to reporters for 90 seconds before being whisked away by Athletics Canada staff to cool down. “I need to prepare, it’s coming up quick, not a whole lot of time, so its all exciting and really fun, but I need to look forward to the next two days,” she said hastily. Cummins’ mark was 1:58.39 she set in Rieti, Italy in 2001.

Mike Richards charged by RCMP in Manitoba with possession of controlled substance BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EMERSON, Man. — Police in Manitoba have charged NHL player Mike Richards with possession of a controlled substance. The RCMP say he is due to appear in provincial court in Emerson, Man., on Sept. 10. Police say a 30-year-old male was arrested and released on

ed into the turn. Leading at the halfway point, he opened a three-body-length lead over Gatlin early in the stretch, and the last 50 metres were simply for showing off. Bolt coasted in and still won by 0.19 seconds. The winner used his thumbs to point at himself as he crossed the finish line and flashed his index finger: He’s No. 1 — just in case anyone had any doubts. “What I really celebrated was, Justin Gatlin said earlier in the week that he was going to bring out something special for the 200 metres,” Bolt said. “I was like, ’You don’t

talk about my 200 metres like that.”’ Gatlin came into world championships dominating the sprints while Bolt was stuck on the sideline. The American was a favourite in the 100 metres, and Bolt took umbrage to the idea that Gatlin’s stumble over the last 15 metres gave that race away. “Disrespectful,” Bolt called that notion. “I came out here and got it done.” Once the 200-meter heats began, Bolt started getting stronger and Gatlin, by his own admission, started feeling tired.

“I’ve beaten him once before, and I hope to do it again,” Gatlin said about a 0.01-second victory at a meet in Rome in 2013. “He’s such a showman. You’ve got to give it to the guy for staying at the level he stays at. That’s hard to do.” Gatlin’s silver added to gold medals won by two Americans — Christian Taylor in the triple jump and Allyson Felix in the 400. Anita Wlodarczyk of Poland won the women’s hammer throw with a championship-record toss of 80.85 metres (265 feet, 3 inches). When Felix crossed the line, she tied Bolt for the most gold medals at the world championships with nine. That lasted all of about 10 minutes — until Bolt took No. 10 in the night’s final race. Both sprinters are pointing toward Rio de Janeiro, where the Olympics are only 343 days away. Something to think about: Bolt guessed if he’d pushed hard through the line Thursday night, he could have finished in the low 19.3s. He first got there at the 2008 Olympics, where he ran 19.30 to break Michael Johnson’s 12-year-old world record. Bolt has since improved that to 19.19. “But one of my goals is to run under 19 seconds,” he said. “So if I want to run that, I have to really push myself next season.” For the short term, his goal is to grab another gold in the 400 relay on Saturday — then get out of Beijing unscathed. Not always as easy as it may seem. After Bolt leaped up from his scary fall, he jogged back to the scooter driver to make sure he, too, was OK. “I think he got the worst of it,” Bolt said. When on the track with Bolt, most people do.

Bishop is peaking at just the right time after a rocky start to her season. She had a torn abdominal muscle in the fall that wiped out her indoor season, then suffered an ankle injury in May that sidelined her for nearly a month. She rebounded in spectacular fashion to win last month’s Pan American Games last month in Toronto. The picture of her crossing the finish line with arms outstretched, and massive grin will be one of the most enduring images of those Games. Bishop was in second spot with about 200 metres to go and appeared like she might get boxed in. But a path opened up down the homestretch, and she sailed through to a victory in her semi. “I didn’t see (the time) until it came up on the screen, but obviously I was more than impressed and excited,” she said. “We’ve been sitting on this for so long, it was about getting in the right race.” Cummins cheered on Bishop from her home in Missoula, Mont. “I am so happy for Melissa,” she told The Canadian Press. “We became friends towards the end of my career and I know Melissa to be a sweet caring honest person who works her butt off. She is keeping the women’s 800 metres alive. “I love her to bits and am so happy she is achieving these great results that she and her coach Dennis

(Fairall) thoroughly deserve.” Cummins, who was fifth at the 2001 world championships, dominated the distance in Canada for the better part of a decade and then retired last year at the age of 40. “Honestly, yes it sucks my record has been broken,” Cummins said. “But the fact that it’s Melissa doing the breaking trumps that 10-fold. So proud and excited for her.” Fiona Benson of Dawson Creek, B.C., finished fifth in her heat Thursday and didn’t advance. But her time of 1:59.59 was a personal best, capping a remarkable season for the 23-yearold that has seen her time plummet by a whopping nine seconds. “With how fast everything has changed, I’ve just been taking it one race at a time,” she said. I didn’t really have any longterm plans coming in, then I ran that 2:02 (she opened the season with a seven-second personal best of 2:01.58), and it’s been go out and have fun at the track and see what I can do.“ She can’t say for sure what has made the difference. She graduated recently from Trinity Western University where she said she was a “middleof-the-road decent university athlete but that was it. “And then, I don’t know, I graduated and started working and running, and that’s pretty much all I did. So, I don’t know if it was just that extra time to concentrate.”

Canada collected four medals in the opening two days of the world championships, and after three relatively quiet days, the battle for medals is about to heat up. One of the team’s top hopes is Christabel Nettey, ranked No. 2 in the world in long jump. The 24-year-old from Surrey, B.C., qualified for the final, jumping 6.79 metres on her third of three jumps in Thursday morning’s preliminary round. It was the fourthbest jump in qualifying. Ivana Spanovic was the top qualifier with 6.91. Quebec City’s Charles PhilibertThiboutot advanced to the semifinals in the men’s 1,500. The 24-year-old from Quebec City was seventh in his heat in 3:39.72. “I felt like I had a great race strategically, stayed top-five, top-six the whole way,” Philibert-Thiboutot said. “With 300 to go I kind of got boxed in and the French guy stumbled in front of me, kind of cut my stride when I was started to sprint. “But I was able to overcome that . . . thankfully it was enough to go through.” Two Canadians advanced in the women’s 100-metre hurdles. Nikkita Holder of Pickering, Ont., placed second in her heat to qualify for the semifinals with a time of 12.86. Phylicia George of Markham, Ont., was fifth in her heat with a 13.03 time, advancing to the semis on time.

June 17 after the Emerson RCMP detachment was notified that a controlled substance had been intercepted by Canada Border Services Agency officers at the Emerson port of entry. Emerson is about 100 kilometres south of Winnipeg, on the North Dakota border. Richards was formally charged on Tuesday, according to a news release from the RCMP. The native of Kenora, Ont., is currently a free agent after the Los Angeles Kings terminated his contract earlier this summer, citing a “material breach” of that contract. The NHL Players’ Association has filed a grievance on behalf of Richards against the Kings contesting that termination. The NHLPA says a date to hear

his grievance has not been set. Richards had five years and US$22 million left on his contract with the Kings before they terminated it after speculation that they would buy it out. Richards has played 10 NHL sea-

sons with the Kings and Philadelphia Flyers, recording 179 goals and 303 assists in 710 regular-season games. Richards won gold at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and two Stanley Cups with Los Angeles.

Arbitrator rules against Bonds collusion case An arbitrator has ruled against Barry Bonds in a collusion case stemming from his final season in the majors. Major League Baseball was informed this week that arbitrator Fredric Horowitz had ruled in its favour. Bonds had sought compensation after no teams would take him following his final season with San Francisco. Bonds hit .276 with a .480 on-base average and 28 home runs in 340 at-bats for the Giants in 2007. The career home runs leader with 762, Bonds turned 43 during his last season. He later offered to play for the minimum major league salary but got no offers. Bonds has worked as a guest instructor for the Giants in spring training since his playing days ended.

Hutchinson, Johnson back for WC qualifiers LOOK TO LEAD CANADA PAST BELIZE IN SECOND ROUND BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Veteran midfielders Atiba Hutchinson and Will Johnson are back in the Canadian fold for a World Cup qualifying series against Belize. Hutchinson, arguably Canada’s best player, missed out on the Gold Cup in July through injury. Johnson, returning to action after a longterm absence due to a badly broken leg, elected not to take part in the CONCACAF championship because of the travel and congested schedule. Hutchinson plays for Besiktas in Turkey while Johnson captains the MLS Portland Timbers. Goalkeeper Milan Borjan is also back after missing the Gold Cup because of commitments with his Bulgarian club Ludogorets, which had Champions League qualifying games in July. Julian de Guzman is missing from coach Benito Floro’s 22-man roster but that could change if the veteran midfielder recovers from injury in time. Canada, ranked No. 101 in the world, hosts No. 123 Belize on Sept. 4 at Toronto’s BMO Field before heading

Sinclair injury may be less serious than originally thought

south for the Sept. 8 return match in Belpoman, Belize’s capital. “We need to maintain our concentration against Belize,” Floro said in a statement. “It is very important to score goals and continue our strong play at the back. We consider that this is a good team and we must treat them with respect because in eliminatory games like this there are no small teams.” Canada is 2-0 against Belize, winning a World Cup qualifying series 8-0 on aggregate in 2004. Both games were held in Kingston, Ont., because Belize did not have a suitable stadium at the time. The Canadian men, who had a bye in the first round of CONCACAF qualifying, advanced to the third round via a 6-0 aggregate victory over No. 173 Dominica. Belize beat the No. 189 Cayman Islands on the away goals rule after their first-round series ended tied 1-1 before dispatching the No. 129 Dominican Republic 5-1 on aggregate. The Canada-Belize winner will become part of CONCACAF Group A in the fourth round. That pool will feature No. 26 Mex-

ico, No. 81 Honduras and either No. 110 El Salvador or No. 148 Curacao with only the top two advancing after round-robin play. The top two teams in each of the three fourth-round groups advance to the final hexagonal competition, to be played from November 2016 to October 2017. The top three will qualify for the 2018 World Cup while the fourth-place team will meet the fifth-place Asian squad in a playoff to decide who joins them. Floro’s roster features nine MLS players but none from Toronto FC. The Montreal Impact are represented by goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau and midfielder Kyle Bekker while defender Samuel Adekugbe and midfielder Russell Teibert carry the Vancouver Whitecaps colours. Former Toronto FC and Montreal midfielder Issey Nakajima-Farran, now playing in Malaysia, is recalled to the team. Perhaps with an eye to the upcoming CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament, Floro’s squad includes seven under-23 players.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The prognosis on Canadian captain Christine Sinclair, who had to be helped off the field last weekend in a NWSL game, may be better than initial reports suggested. Sinclair’s left leg was hurt in a collision with Sky Blue goalkeeper Brittany Cameron in the Portland Thorns’ 1-0 loss in New Jersey on Saturday. “Fingers crossed,” Thorns coach Paul Riley said earlier this week, according to the Oregonian. “It looks pretty bad. She said she heard a pop when she came off the field.” The Oregonian reported that Sinclair watched the Thorns’ practice Wednesday with ice on her ankle. While Sinclair was slated to undergo an MRI this week, a Thorns spokeswoman said Thursday there was no update available. But Canadian national team coach John Herdman said his understanding was the injury is not that serious. The Canadian team medical staff is scheduled to be in Portland this weekend to see for themselves. There may be more definite word on the injury when the National Women’s Soccer League weekly injury report comes out Friday. The 32-year-old Sinclair is Canada’s all-time leading scorer with 155 goals in 227 international appearances. The next major challenge for the Canadian women is the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament, set for February in Texas.

Eugenie Bouchard is getting a little help from Jimmy Connors ahead of the U.S. Open. A statement issued by Bouchard’s management company Thursday said the Canadian and Connors have “no long-term plans at this time” for a coaching arrangement. The statement said Bouchard, the 2014 runner-up at Wimbledon, and Connors, an eighttime major champion, “have been friends for a few years” and that the two are working together this week while Connors is in New York. Connors coached Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova in the past. The U.S. Open starts Monday.

Four tied for early lead at Barclays FEDEX CUP PLAYOFFS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

David Lingmerth, of Sweden, hits out of a sand trap on the 11th hole during the first round of play at The Barclays golf tournament Thursday, in Edison, N.J. 6-over 76. Spieth has nothing to lose except the No. 1 ranking he has held for all of two weeks. With two majors among his four wins, and nine top-three finishes this year, he is No. 1 in the FedEx Cup and virtually assured of getting to the finale at East Lake with a clear shot at the $10 million bonus. He can afford an off week or three. He just didn’t like it. Playing alongside Watson and Jason Day — the top three in the FedEx Cup — Spieth didn’t miss a fairway on the back nine and was 2 under at the turn, three shots behind Watson. From the fairway on No. 1 to a back pin, he got too aggressive and went over the green, leading to bogey. Facing a 20-foot birdie putt on the next hole, he left in woefully short and backed off the par putt twice before missing it. And then he put his next shot in the water.

Brittany Lang shoots 65 to take lead in Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PRATTVILLE, Ala. — Brittany Lang birdied five of the first seven holes in windy conditions and shot a 7-under 65 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic. Added to the U.S. Solheim Cup team Monday as one of Juli Inkster’s two captain’s picks, Lang had a two-stroke lead over Tiffany Joh, Sydnee Michaels and Ryann O’Toole. “It was just one of those days. It was so enjoyable,” Lang said. “I wasn’t thinking about a whole lot. I was just super committed to seeing my shots. It was so much fun.” The 30-year-old Texan won the 2012 Manulife Financial LPGA Classic in Canada for her lone LPGA Tour title. She was second this year in the Ontario event and has three other top-10 finishes. “I’m in a really nice place right now,” Lang said. “I had one of my better years ... and the Solheim pick’s over with. I’m just in a really comfortable place, so I just felt really relaxed out there.” Lang birdied Nos. 1, 3-5 and 7 in her morning round on the Senator Course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Capitol Hill complex. She birdied Nos. 11-12, dropped strokes on Nos. 13-14 and rebounded with birdies on Nos. 16-17. “The birdies on 16 and 17 were pretty big after the bogeys on 13 and 14,” Lang said. “Not stupid bogeys, small misses, but I stayed aggressive, so I was excited with that. Stayed aggressive and made two bogeys, but it was really good to birdie 16 and 17.” O’Toole had five birdies in a seven-

ST. LOUIS BLUES

Blues invite veteran Gomez, 4 others to training camp as tryouts The St. Louis Blues invited veteran forward Scott Gomez to training camp for a tryout. The 35-year-old Gomez is a 15-year veteran for New Jersey, the New York Rangers, Montreal, San Jose and Florida. Last season, he had 34 points, seven goals and 27 assists, in 58 games with New Jersey. Gomez had 59 points in 2009-10 with Montreal, but his production has declined since then. The Blues also invited

hole stretch in the middle of her morning round. “It’s been windy all week, so I was expecting that,” O’Toole said. “What I noticed was the greens were even faster than yesterday or Tuesday. ... It took me five holes to get really thinking that if you’re above the hole, you just had to tap it. Breaks were breaking double of what you saw because of the speed change. So, it took me a little bit to get used to that.” Julieta Granada, Hyo Joo Kim, Ariya Jutanugarn, Therese Koelbaek and Simin Feng were three strokes back at 68. Stacy Lewis, the 2012 winner, had a 70. Second last year in Prattville, she’s coming off a playoff loss to Lydia Ko last week in the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open. “The golf course was playing really hard early this morning and I didn’t really get anything going, then couldn’t get any putts to fall there on the back nine, so kind of a frustrating day,” Lewis said. The third-ranked Lewis bogeyed the par-4 third hole and rallied with birdies on Nos. 8-9 and 11. “The wind was blowing early this morning,” Lewis said. “I don’t think I ever hit 4-iron into the third hole before, so I was just hitting clubs into holes that I’ve never hit.” Lexi Thompson, the 2011 winner at age 16, opened with a 69. Canadian teen Brooke Henderson, of Smiths Falls, Ont., had a 71 and tied with Hamilton’s Alena Sharp for 26th at 1 under. The 17-year-old Henderson won her first LPGA Tour title two weeks ago in Portland, Oregon. Mi Jung Hur, the winner last year at a tournament-record 21-under 267, shot a 74. Spencer Asuchak, Eriah Hayes, Zach O’Brien and Evan Trupp to training camp. The 27-year-old Hayes was the only player of those four to play in the NHL last season and had two penalty minutes in four games with San Jose.

The round ended with another three-putt bogey. Spieth could lose the No. 1 ranking to Rory McIlroy, who is not playing this week as a precaution coming off an ankle injury. The next step for Spieth? “Do what I’ve done best — bounce back,” he said. “I come back strong tomorrow. I’m not a big fan of the course. It doesn’t fit me very well particularly, but I’ve also won on courses that I didn’t think fit me very well. So I know I can still shoot a low round if I hit the shots that I need to hit, that I’m trying to hit. “Typically when I hit the fairways, I’m not over par. And that’s what was weird about the round.” Watson wasn’t hitting all the fairways, but at times that was to his advantage. The greens are pitched in such a way that some shots have to carry to the hole, allowing for spin

to make sure it stays below the hole. That’s what caused Spieth problems. From the rough, Watson was able to land short of the flag and have it roll up toward the hole. That set up ample birdies. Ditto for Finau, the power Utah rookie. “So No. 9 today with that pin just on top of the ridge, if you draw a decent lie in the rough, it’s almost easier to just run something up instead of worrying about the spin if you’re hitting from the fairway,” Finau said. He had the wildest round. Finau opened with three straight birdies, followed with three straight bogeys, made one par and then ran off three more birdies. Paul Casey and Jason Dufner were in the large group at 66. Day joined Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler in the group at 68.

Langer ready to defend his Dick’s Sporting Goods Open title CHAMPIONS TOUR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Since it became a stop on the Champions Tour eight years ago, the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open has not had a repeat champion. Bernhard Langer is ready to change that, even without daughter Christina helping call the shots. “It’s possible. Anything is possible,” Langer said as he prepared to begin defence of his title on Friday, a day after his 58th birthday. “But it’s not that easy of a golf course. You’ve got to drive it extremely straight and hit some great shots to stay out of trouble.” Langer rallied to the victory last August at En-Joie Golf Club, playing all 54 holes without a bogey and closing with a 6-under 66 for a one-stroke victory over Woody Austin and Mark O’Meara. Langer finished at 16-under 200. “It was a phenomenal week,” said Langer, third in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. “It was even more special because my daughter was on the bag — her first win with me on the professional circuit and grabbing the flag a little bit prematurely on 18. That was all my fault. I had a little senior moment, told her she could do it, forgot

there was another group behind me that was still playing.” Langer’s daughter had two back surgeries in February and isn’t strong enough yet to be on the bag again. She’ll be replaced by her brother Stefan. Langer’s 23rd career victory last August on the 50-and-over tour came a day after Kevin Sutherland stunned the field with a 59, becoming the first player in Champions Tour history to break 60. It could have been even better, if not for a three-putt bogey from about 40 feet just off the 18th green. “That was a pretty unusual round,” said Langer, who is coming off a runner-up finish on Sunday in the Boeing Classic at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. “To beat the course record by four shots, that’s a pretty amazing feat. The players are getting better, stronger and hit the ball further.” The 59 gave Sutherland a one-shot lead over Steve Lowery heading to the final round, but he had a closing 74 to fade to a tie for seventh at 12 under. Langer, who won the Senior Players Championship in June and finished just one shot behind Billy Andrade at the Boeing Classic last weekend, continues to excel as he inches closer to age 60. His Dick’s Sporting Goods Open victory last year was his third triumph in five starts, and this year he leads the Champions Tour in scoring (68.91).

EDISON, N.J. — The start of the FedEx Cup playoffs brought out the worst score from Jordan Spieth in three months. In his first tournament as No. 1 in the world, Spieth had a pair of threeputt bogeys, hit a tee shot in the water, shot 40 on his back nine and wound up with a 4-over 74 in the opening round of The Barclays. It was his highest score since a 75 in The Players Championship, the last time he missed a cut. “Just lost a little bit of focus,” Spieth said. “All in all, I’m just going to take today as a fluke round. I still believe I’m playing well. It just happened to be an off day on a day where it counted.” Bubba Watson and Tony Finau powered their way around Plainfield Country Club and each had a 5-under 65. They were in a four-way tie for the lead that included Spencer Levin and Camilo Villegas, players who are in dire need of a good week. Villegas only got into the top 125 to qualify for the playoffs last week at the Wyndham Championship, with two shots to spare. That was pressure. Now he feels as though he has nothing to lose as he tries to get into the top 100 who advance to the second event next week at the TPC Boston. “Last week was an important week,” said Villegas, who is No. 123. “It hasn’t been the best of years, and just to be able to sneak in here and give myself a chance ... I get off to a good start, and three more rounds to go and keep it going.” Levin secured his spot in the playoffs with a 63 in the final round at the Wyndham, moving up seven spots to No. 115. Much like Villegas, he felt relieved to have made it to The Barclays, and everything else is gravy. He rolled in three early birdies and dropped only one shot on a mild, blustery day. “This is a nice stress to have,” he said. “I’m happy with where I am right now and who knows? Maybe I can keep it going.” Nick Taylor is the top Canadian after 18 holes. The Abbotsford, B.C., native shot a 3-under 67 and is tied for 11th. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., shot an even-par 70, Abbotsford’s Adam Hadwin is 3 over while Graham DeLaet, from Weyburn Sask., shot a

Former NBA star Dawkins dies BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Darryl Dawkins, whose board-shattering dunks earned him the moniker “Chocolate Thunder” and helped pave the way for breakaway rims, has died. He was 58. The Lehigh County, Pennsylvania coroner’s office said Dawkins died Thursday morning at a hospital. Later Thursday, Dawkins’ family said a heart attack was the cause of death. Officials said an autopsy was scheduled for Friday. “Darryl touched the hearts and spirits of so many with his big smile and personality, ferocious dunks, but more than anything, his huge, loving heart,” his family said in a statement. “His family, wife Janice, children Dara, Tabitha, Nicholas and Alexis, along with countless family, friends, and fans, all mourn his loss. More than anything Darryl accomplished in his basketball career as the inimitable ’Chocolate Thunder,’ he was most proud of his role and responsibility as a husband and father.” Dawkins spent parts of 14 seasons in the NBA with Philadelphia, New Jersey, Utah and Detroit. He averaged 12 points and 6.1 rebounds in 726 career regular-season games. “A great man, entertainer, athlete and ferocious dunker,” former NBA guard Kevin Johnson wrote on Twitter. “He will be missed but not forgotten.” He was selected No. 5 in the 1975 NBA draft by the 76ers. His “Chocolate Thunder” nickname, he often said, was given to him by legendary singer Stevie

Wonder — who is blind. “People don’t want to believe it. ... A guy who never saw me gave me the name Chocolate Thunder,” Dawkins said in a 2012 interview. Tributes poured in quickly from across the league, including from the 76ers. “Simply put, Darryl Dawkins was beloved-by his family, friends, former teammates and his fans all over the globe,” 76ers CEO Scott O’Neil said. “His endearing charm, infectious smile and unparalleled sense of humour will be sorely missed. ’Chocolate Thunder’ will always have a special place in our hearts. His family is in our thoughts and prayers.” Dawkins was as revered off the court as he was on it. He remained enormously popular after his playing days were done, even during his stint as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters. He would name his dunks — the “look out below,” the “yo-mama” and the “rim wrecker” among them — and often boasted that he hailed from the “Planet Lovetron.” Injuries plagued him late in his NBA career, and he went overseas for several more years to play primarily in the Italian league. “You were one of my favourite players of all time,” Houston centre Dwight Howard posted Thursday on Instagram under a photo of Dawkins dunking in a game for the 76ers. “You were very inspirational to a lot of young players. Thank u for the long talks and great memories. I can’t believe that you’re gone. But you are in a better place. You were the originator of the dunk.”

Heavyweight Justin Wren Chelsea, without suspended Terry, try to the right ship returns from Africa to launch a new quest PREMIER LEAGUE MMA BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Justin Wren reevaluated his life less than two years ago from a Ugandan hospital bed, where he clung to life with severe cases of malaria and blackwater fever. With his body temperature fluctuating wildly, he had lost 33 pounds in five days, draining the strength from a burly, blond-bearded mixed martial artist who left his sport in search of something bigger. Wren realizes most people with any self-preservation instinct would have left Africa to recover. But he says he first travelled to the Congo after it appeared to him in a vision, providing a destination and a focus to a life consumed by drug abuse and self-loathing. The heavyweight wrestler couldn’t abandon the pygmy tribes that became his adopted family. After a month of recovery, he bought a truck and drove it back. “You’re going to have to take me out, because that’s the fighter I am,” Wren said. “That’s what this mission is about. That’s why I went to the Congo. When I say that’s my family, I literally mean it. It’s not a shallow thing to me. It’s not to tug on anyone’s heart. That’s my heart. That’s my family.” Wren returns to MMA after a fiveyear absence Friday night, taking on Josh Burns in Temecula, California. The Bellator 141 cage at the Pechanga Resort and Casino is a long way from eastern Congo, which has been Wren’s home for long stretches of the past half-decade. A humanitarian mission to the Mbuti pygmy groups turned into an urgent cause for Wren, who will donate his MMA win bonuses and other income to the charitable organization with which he is digging water wells, starting farms and buying land. He wants to resurrect his fighting career, but a championship belt is no longer his ultimate goal. “I’m in it for a lot more than me now,” Wren said. “I put a world of pressure on myself even when it was just for me, and now it’s for them.”

After getting into MMA as a teenage wrestler in his native Texas, Wren fought on “The Ultimate Fighter,” competing alongside current UFC regulars Roy Nelson and Matt Mitrione on the long-running reality show. He was 102 in a solid MMA career, but injuries and depression led him to dependence on oxycodone, marijuana, cocaine and partying. “I would say that I’ve always loved the sport, like passionately loved the sport,” Wren said. “But I would say that I hated who I had become in the sport.” After getting sober, Wren accepted an offer to travel with a religious group. He was stunned when he immediately felt at home in eastern Congo — even though he contracted several illnesses in addition to that malaria bout in November 2013, when he needed an emergency flight to medical care in Uganda on Thanksgiving Day. Wren was ready to quit MMA while he spent a full year in the Congo. He made initial plans to move permanently with his then-girlfriend, Emily, who had never been on a camping trip before Wren plunked her down in Africa. But as his return to the U.S. grew closer last year, the fighting itch returned. He also acknowledged the enormous opportunity he held in his powerful hands: MMA is a platform to reach untold millions with the pygmies’ story. “I couldn’t promise them clean water or a farm or a farming project,” Wren said. “But I knew that the fighting community would listen to me, or at least I could talk. This story is worth being told, and these people are worth fighting for.” After getting married last November, Wren returned to MMA training and finished writing a book, “Fight for the Forgotten,” due out next month. But he couldn’t stay away from the Congo: He returned from his most recent trip less than three months ago. During the three-week stop, he celebrated the drilling of his team’s 20th water well, observed a nascent farming project in three villages and checked in with his group’s 17 employees. He has merged his non-profit organization into a larger organization, water4.org.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MANCHESTER, England — John Terry ended last season as still the best centre back in the English Premier League. Three games into the new campaign, the Chelsea captain’s stock has fallen to such an extent that critics are questioning how much longer he can cut it at this level. The 34-year-old Terry has endured a miserable start to Chelsea’s title defence: Substituted at halftime against Manchester City. Sent off against West Bromwich Albion. Now suspended for the visit of Crystal Palace on Saturday. It will be the first time in 17 months that Terry has missed a meaningful Premier League game — he played every minute last season — and leaves Chelsea without any of the so-called “old guard” that has been the backbone of the club’s success for the past decade. Central midfielder Frank Lampard left at the end of the 2012-13 season, centre forward Didier Drogba’s second spell at Chelsea ended in May, and Petr Cech was sold to Arsenal in the off-season. Terry is the last remaining link to the past in a new-look Chelsea team under Jose Mourinho, but his days could be numbered. It’s not just Terry’s form that is putting his place under scrutiny. He is 35 in December so age is not on his side, and Chelsea’s pursuit of Everton centre back John Stones signals that Mourinho is looking to the future. Chelsea has reportedly had three offers for Stones rejected, and is weighing up a fourth potentially worth 40 million pounds ($62 million). Terry still has much to offer Chelsea and could have two or three more years at Stamford Bridge. But his role could be changing, and good performances by Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma — the likely centre-back pairing against Palace — will give Mourinho some thinking to do over the international break. By then, Stones may be a Chelsea player, too. He has already put in a transfer request, which was rejected by Everton on Thursday. Chelsea has had as uncomfortable

a start to the season as Terry, with four points from a possible nine leaving the team already five behind Man City. Palace has won two of its opening three games and is a dangerous team away from home with its pace on the counterattack. Here are more things to know about the fourth round in the Premier League:

ROONEY REVIVAL Wayne Rooney’s 10-game scoring drought for Manchester United ended with a hat trick against Bruges in a Champions League qualifying match on Wednesday, but he’ll need to start netting in the Premier League to get the critics completely off his back. Rooney has been part of an underperforming United attack that has struggled to create chances, let alone score goals in the league this season. The team has scored two goals in three games, one of them being an own goal. United visits Swansea on Sunday for a match between two unbeaten teams. Swansea took six points off United last season.

RECORD IN SIGHT Manchester City will break its century-long record for successive topflight wins if it beats Watford at Etihad Stadium. City is the only team with a 100 per cent start to the season after beating Everton 2-0 on Sunday. That was City’s ninth straight win, matching the club record that has lasted since 1912.

BALOTELLI GONE Mario Balotelli completed his season-long loan move to AC Milan from Liverpool on Thursday. It’s unlikely he’ll be missed at Anfield. In summer signing Christian Benteke, Liverpool has a much more physical and threatening striker than it had last season when Balotelli and Rickie Lambert failed to shine and Daniel Sturridge was mostly injured. Liverpool, which hosts West Ham on Saturday, has started the season with two wins and an impressive display in a 0-0 draw at Arsenal on Monday.

Williams goes for history at U.S. Open SERENA FIGURES ONLY SHE CAN STOP HERSELF IN BID FOR FIRST TRUE GRAND SLAM IN MORE THAN QUARTER-CENTURY tennis player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win the sport’s four most prestigious tournaments in a single season. Only five players have pulled off a calendar-year Grand Slam; the last man to do it was Rod Laver in 1969. “Just the fact that she’s gotten herself into that position is an achievement on its own,” said Maria Sharapova, who is seeded No. 3 and could face Williams in the semifinals in New York. “Her consistency and her level of play throughout this year, and in previous years and her career, have spoken for itself.” Just to add to the stakes, there’s also this on the line at the U.S. Open, where Williams has won the past three championships and a half-dozen in all: She can equal Graf’s professional-era record of 22 Grand Slam singles titles (13 of Margaret Court’s 24 came against amateur competition). “What Serena’s doing just now is incredible,” said two-time major champion Andy Murray, who joins No. 1 Novak Dkokovic and No. 2 Roger Federer as the favourites for the men’s title. Williams’ pursuit figures to garner the greatest attention at Flushing Meadows. There is, after all, history in the offing. She can become the first player in the Open era with seven U.S. Open trophies, and the first woman since Chris Evert nearly 40 years ago with four in a row. Mostly, there is the Grand Slam to chase. “When I was younger, that was defi-

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Ask Serena Williams what could prevent her from completing tennis’ first true Grand Slam in more than a quarter-century at the U.S. Open, and the response will not include the name of a single possible opponent. “Well,” she began when that question was posed, “I’m always one of my biggest competitors. I can always stop myself. So that’s why I kind of just try to stay positive on the court and stay really focused and stay as calm as I can.” What else? “I have to make sure I’m good physically,” Williams said. Anything more to worry about? “Fear and doubt can stop me, too,” she continued. “If I step out on the court and I’m a little nervous or I’m fearful, then that’s never a really good sign.” Really? That happens? “It does happen. But I just embrace it and I bottle it up and I throw that bottle away,” Williams said. “And I just go for it.” Already considered by many the greatest women’s tennis player and among the greatest athletes ever — no matter the gender, sport or era — the 33-year-old American has become quite adept at discarding that fear and doubt. When the U.S. Open begins Monday, the No. 1-seeded Williams will embark on a bid to become the first

Williams is in position to win the Grand Slam this year if she wins the U.S. Open tennis tournament. nitely a goal of mine, to win a Grand Slam,” Williams said. “It’s become more of, like, a distant dream, fable, kind of thing. ... I’ve never been this close, so we’ll see.” At Wimbledon, she capped a second self-styled “Serena Slam” of four major titles in a row, dating to last year’s U.S. Open; she also won four straight in 2002-03. But there is a difference between that and what Williams now will try to achieve: claiming the championship at the Australian Open on hard courts in January, the French Open on clay courts in June, Wimbledon on grass courts in July, and the U.S. Open on hard courts in September, all within the same year. “There’s no doubt winning four in a row almost never happens. It’s arguably as impressive, but not quite, because of the pressure factor of what’s

building now towards the U.S. Open. There’s no doubt that Serena’s feeling that,” said former U.S. Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe, an ESPN tennis analyst. “And there’s also no doubt in my mind that she can certainly handle it.” Williams is 48-2 with a tour-leading five titles in 2015. What might be most remarkable is the way she can seem down and out yet turn things around, no matter the foe or deficit. In 11 matches this season, Williams won despite dropping the first set. At the French Open, she had four such reversals. At Wimbledon, she was two points from losing in the third round before getting past three consecutive former No. 1s — older sister Venus, Victoria Azarenka and Sharapova — to reach the final.

CLEAN TEAM

Downtown cleanup also helps break down barriers BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

BRIEF Young robber’s fate awaits pre-sentence report More time is needed to complete a pre-sentence report for one of four youths accused of a string of robberies in Red Deer and Blackfalds. A pre-sentence report gathers information on a convicted criminal to aid the judge in determining a suitable sentence. The report on the 16-year-old from Red Deer is expected to be ready by the next court date on Oct. 8. His name cannot be released under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Police arrested the youths in March. They were charged in connection with three robberies within minutes of each other in Blackfalds in November 2014. They were also connected to four other armed robberies in Blackfalds and Red Deer in February. Earlier this month, a 17-year-old member of the robbery ring was sentenced to 18 months in custody, followed by 12 months of probation. The boy, who also can’t be named, pleaded guilty to five robberies in Central Alberta between October 2014 and February 2015, as well as three charges of disguising his face with the intent to commit an indictable offence and two counts of using an imitation firearm.

Free infant nutrition classes offered by AHS in region Parents with questions about feeding their growing baby can attend a free infant nutrition class offered by Alberta Health Services. Led by a registered dietitian, the two-hour workshop highlights why babies need to start on high-iron foods at six months, and why introducing different food textures is important.

Members of the Red Deer Downtown Business Association Clean Team, from the left, Wayne Tucker, Henry Roasting and Jason Kuefler work together to pick up refuse at the corner of 51st Avenue and Ross Street. The DBA has won an international award, thanks to the Clean Team. downtown Red Deer. She said it was exciting to receive the award by implementing what seemed like a natural solution that provides people with mental illness meaningful activity. “Right now we’re looking to expand it even further to include both the Gathering Place and the homeless population as well.” She said Red Deer DBA is looking to partner with community organiza-

tions that work with the homeless. Red Deer DBA is contracted by the city to provide cleanup services on city property in the area stretching from west to Taylor Drive, east to 48th Avenue, north to 55th Street and south to the Greyhound bus depot. A total of 490 businesses are located in that downtown zone. International Downtown Association (IDA), based in Washington, D.C., has 500 member organizations and pro-

motes creating healthy, dynamic urban centres that anchor the well-being of towns, cities and regions. “Each year the IDA Awards Jury recognizes organizations that utilize best practices in our industry. The Community Clean Team is a shining example of excellent downtown management delivering real value to the city,” said David Downey, IDA president and CEO. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Parents are encouraged to bring babies to the class, which focuses on creating a positive feeding relationship. Offered in Red Deer since 2003, the infant nutrition classes are now offered in 29 communities across the Central Zone. AHS dietitians answer questions and show parents how to make their own baby food using a variety of kitchen tools they may already have at home. Parents learn how to prepare vegetables, fruit, meat and meat alternatives, and infant cereal using a number of different tools, including hand mixers, food mills and food processors. The class ends with a taste test to compare store-bought baby foods and homemade baby foods for taste and texture. To register fort he classes, contact your local Community Health Centre.

tions and to always be alert for danger. If you’re walking to school, walk on the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the street facing traffic, staying as far away from the vehicles as possible. If you take the bus, wait for it at a safe place at least 10 steps away from the road. Never run after the school bus to try to catch it. And if you can’t see the driver, the driver can’t see you either. If you bike, roller blade or skateboard to school, don’t forget your safety gear. Youth under 18 are required by Alberta law to wear a helmet when riding a bike.

she said. Oliver-McCurdie began her new role on Aug. 17. Departing executive director Karen Oatway was praised by Blair. “Karen has been absolutely integral to Volunteer Central’s success over the past year, and we’re grateful for all the work she’s done to build a stronger volunteer sector in Central Alberta.” Volunteer Central promotes and encourages volunteerism in Red Deer and beyond, by connecting volunteers, non-profit organizations, and businesses to create successful volunteer relationships across central Alberta.

Traffic safety being urged as kids return to school Red Deer RCMP are reminding drivers, parents and students to be safe as school resumes. While a few of Red Deer’s yearround schools are already in session, the rest of the city’s schools start classes again on Tuesday, Sept. 1 or Thursday, Sept. 3. In a press release, Red Deer RCMP said they would like to remind drivers, parents and students of a few important safety tips. Starting on Tuesday, all school zones in Red Deer are in effect. The speed limit in Red Deer school zones is 30 km/h from 8 to 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3 to 4:30 p.m. on school days. RCMP say they will be patrolling school zones. The fine for going 50 km/h in a school zone is $167 and that increases as the speed increases. While school buses within the city do not use a flashing light system, RCMP urge all drivers to slow down and use caution when passing a stopped school bus. Students making their way to school are reminded to only cross the street at marked crosswalks and intersec-

Oliver-McCurdie comes to Volunteer Central from Innisfail FCSS, where she has been the manager for the past two years, according to a press release. Prior to that, she was an area manager for the Heart and Stroke Tammy OliverFoundation and exMcCurdie ecutive director for the Tofield/Ryley/Beaver County FCSS. Along with nearly 10 years of experience in the not-for-profit sector, she has experience in fund development, strategic planning, human resources and financial management. Those skills are critical to ensuring Volunteer Central remains a sustainable organization, said Jennifer Blair, board chair for Volunteer Central. “Her wealth of knowledge and proven leadership will be instrumental in helping Volunteer Central fulfil its mandate to promote and encourage volunteerism across central Alberta,” said Blair. “Volunteerism is an important part of any community, and with Tammy’s help, Volunteer Central will be able to continue its work bolstering the volunteer sector in Red Deer and beyond,”

Assault, vehicle theft bring conditional sentence A Red Deer man was given an 18-month conditional sentence order after pleading guilty to stealing a vehicle and assaulting the driver. Craig Abendroth, 39, was sentenced in Didsbury provincial court on Monday. A conditional sentence order means he does not have to serve jail time but faces other restrictions. He was also fined about $1,200 for the June 5, 2014, incident at a Hwy 2 rest stop near Olds. Police said at the time that a 60-year-old motorist was sitting in his car at the rest stop near Hwy 27 when a man approached. The man grabbed the partially open driver’s window, shattering it. He pulled the driver out and drove off with his vehicle, heading north on Hwy 2. The driver was unhurt and called police, who soon spotted the stolen vehicle in Gasoline Alley and pulled it over. Abendroth was arrested at the scene.

Correction: Summer Village of Birchcliff mayor A front page story in last Monday’s Advocate incorrectly identified Thom Jewell as the mayor of the Summer Village of Birchcliff. He is a council member and deputy mayor. Joyce Megson is mayor.

Red Deer’s Clean Team is keeping the downtown clean with award-winning style. Earlier this month, Red Deer Downtown Business Association (DBA) received a Downtown Merit Award for its Community Clean Team at the 61st annual International Downtown Association conference and tradeshow. Community Clean Team employs members of the Gathering Place, a downtown clubhouse for adults with mental illness. A year ago, clubhouse members started working with Clean Team staff to help the business association keep the downtown streets free from litter and assist in snow clearing. Out of 10 qualified entries, Red Deer DBA won in the downtown leadership and management category that recognizes comprehensive and unique organizational approaches that improve the effectiveness of downtown management organizations. Amanda Gould, executive director of Red Deer DBA, said reaching out to the Gathering Place has been a win-win for downtown businesses and those with mental illness. “It fit really well with what their clients needed. “It’s also building a sense of community and pride and breaking down those barriers. People can often be intimidated by someone who is mentally ill,” Gould said. Red Deer DBA is the advocacy and management organization representing the interests of business owners in

Local author offers strong first novel Chinkstar By Jon Chan Simpson Coach House Books Chinksta (or Chinese-Canadian rap) is the new rage sweeping through a fictionalized version of Red Deer, in Jon Chan Simpson’s novel Chinkstar. The face of this new genre of music is King Kwong — aka the Great Ape, or Emperor Yellow. But the superstar KIRSTEN King is a no-show at one of his LOWE last bush parties in Red Deer. Amongst the drunken teenagers is Kwong’s little brother, Run. He does not care for his brother, often referring to him as a**hole. In this version of Red Deer, the city is beset by a turf war between two rival gangs, the Apes and the Necks. Kwong is affiliated with the Apes. But now he has been kidnapped, and Run had no intention of venturing out to find him until their mother takes a bullet to a shoulder in a drive-by shooting. The first person Run talks with is Ape “kru” member Linh. At first it is complicated to talk to Linh about Kwong, because Run sees one side of his brother, while his “kru” sees another. Yet in the end two things are evident: Kwong was most likely taken by the Necks, and Run is a part of the Apes. Linh suggests that to make for smooth negotiations with their rival gang, Run should ap-

proach his crush, Ros, who is the little sister of Grey — leader of the Necks. Along with his best friend, Ali, and Ros, Run embarks on the deadly task of finding his brother while being caught in the middle of a gang war — not to mention that if Grey finds out Run is with his little sister, Grey will personally destroy him. First of all, it is so weird to actually read a novel set in the town you were born and raised in. I found myself reading the story and forgetting that this was all based in Red Deer until Simpson mentions a neighbourhood, street name or nicknames that high school kids use referring to a certain areas or events (example, bush parties and Dope Road). I applaud him for the out-of-the-ordinary settings he gives Red Deer — one that many of us could hardly comprehend or even envision. I did have trouble with the excessive, constant and ongoing slang and miss-used grammar. I understand it’s part of making the story what it is, but I feel Simpson could’ve lightened up on that area, because some chapters were just all over that place. I couldn’t understand exactly what was going on without rereading it and at the end it left me feeling disoriented. High school students would get a real kick out of this novel because the references to Red Deer would connect with them. It is inspirational and noteworthy that Red Deer produced Simpson, and that he turned to his hometown for the setting of his first novel. Chinkstar is a strong first novel that shows Simpson’s imagination and talent. I look forward to reading his future work.

What can Ove do except help them out of their stupid blunders. Anyway, he reasons, he’ll soon be dead and out of it. Rune and Anita also live in the complex; they are old and Rune is not well. People from the social agencies, referred to by Ove as “white shirts,” want Rune in care. One more stupidity for Ove to fight. A young man who wants to impress a young girl doesn’t know how to repair her bike, which would surely make her like him. Could Ove ...? You can see that Ove has another side. He feels like a lone voice crying against change and non-compliance with rules. He is deeply unhappy and lonely but circumstances conspire to put him in places where he must save people from their inadequacies. Can the neighbours, especially the little children, save Ove? Parvanah will not give up and how can you argue with a pregnant lady? There are many ways to end your life, but it seems to be the one thing that Ove can’t manage in spite of all his talents.

Three finalists for Thurber Prize for American Humor are women NEW YORK — Thurber Prize judges have made it official: Women are funny, too. Nearly 20 years after its founding, the all-male winners’ circle for the Thurber Prize for American Humor is finally changing. New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast, actress-writer Annabelle Gurwitch and novelist Julie Schumacher were the finalists announced Monday by organizers of the $5,000 prize. Chast was cited for her graphic memoir about her parents, Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant? Gurwitch was included for her essay collection I See You Made An Effort. Schumacher was nominated for the academic satire, told in letters, called Dear Committee Members. “The finalists share more than their

Sandra Brown’s Friction is gripping page-turner What starts as a custody battle soon dissolves into a conspiracy in Sandra Brown’s latest romantic thriller, Friction. Texas Ranger Crawford Hunt hit the skids after his wife’s death. He began to drink, and even started to slide on his job duties. He turned himself around and is now sober. Hunt also met every court-appointed session and appointment he was required to attend. Now he’s ready to take back custody of his young daughter from her grandparents. But they don’t want to give her up, especially her grandfather, who blames Hunt for his daughter’s death. Judge Holly Spencer presides over the custody battle, and when Hunt takes the stand, a gunman walks into the courtroom and opens

gender in common — they are also all above the age of 50,” said awards judge Sloane Crosley, whose book of essays I Was Told There’d Be Cake was a finalist in 2009. “Can we therefore extract from this shortlist, the idea that not only are women funny, but that they get funnier as time passes,” Crosley asked. The award was established in 1996 and was named for late humorist James Thurber. Until this year, it had only been won by men, including Jon Stewart and David Sedaris. Crosley said she and fellow judges Liza Donnelly and David Giffels had no other goal than to honour the year’s funniest books. “Selecting these books was more like blissfully driving over the gap,” Crosley said, “turning around once on the other side and thinking, ’Well, would you look at that? Isn’t that something?”’

fire. Acting on instinct, Hunt saves Spencer’s life and also chases the shooter and assists with his takedown. Spencer is thankful for Hunt’s rescue, but Hunt realizes that his actions jeopardize his chances of getting custody of his daughter. The battle between Spencer and Hunt heats up as he tries to convince her to rule in his favour. She feels that she cannot be fair in her judgment after the incident. Both soon start to question what really happened during the shooting and why someone would target Spencer for execution. Hunt and Spencer are perfect characters for a story diving into romantic suspense. The secondary characters seem a bit stereotypical, with some designed as nothing more than foils to create conflict. That nitpick aside, Brown has written another gripping page-turner with a few surprises that will enthrall both her fans and anyone who enjoys their

tales mixed with a romantic flair.

A social conscious salon DISCARDED HAIR FROM COPPER LANE HAIR STUDIOS BEING USED IN OIL SPILL CLEANUPS BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Discarded hair from Copper Lane Hair Studios in Red Deer and Lacombe is being used in oil spill cleanups. Lane Tomalty, owner of both locations, said the hair is collected and sent to a women’s prison in B.C., where it is put into booms used to help clean up oil spills in the water. “We recycle everything from the hair that’s cut to product wastage, foils, tea bags and ground coffee,” said Tomalty. “They stuff nylons with the hair and because hair is extremely absorbent and oil sits on the surface ... these hair booms are used to mop up oil.” It is just one of the many ways the business tries to be environmentally friendly. Tomalty said they are 95 per cent waste free and as a result are a Green Circle Salon. There are four Green Circle Salons in Central Alberta, Tomalty’s two locations at 3301 Gaetz Ave. in Red Deer and at 4908 50th Ave. in Lacombe, as well as Fifth Element Salon and Spa in Blackfalds, at 5013 Parkwood Rd., and Rainy Daze Medi Spa in Sylvan Lake, at 5220 Lakeshore Dr. Green Circle Salons helps salons in Canada and the U.S. move towards becoming fully sustainable. Tomalty said she is motivated by personal beliefs of leaving the planet a better place than it was before. “We’re definitely a social conscious salon,” said Tomalty. “Our industry is definitely frowned upon because we can be very wasteful — traditionally. So we do what we can to minimize our own waste.” But she admits the added environmental measures come at a cost. “We do pay for the removal of all our recyclables,” said Tomalty. Grey water is collected and sent for storage, keeping it out of the water system; recyclables end up all over the world, but put to re-use. “It is a little more expensive for the owner to run it this way,” said Tomalty. “But I see the value.” mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Both her Red Deer salon and her Lacombe location are taking part in the Green Circle Salons program that works to keep the salons 95% waste free. From customers hair to waste product, and packaging, tea bags and coffee grounds virtually everything is recycled says Tomalty.

Cross border beer runs popular: investigator BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BRIEF Oil posts biggest one-day gain since 2009 NEW YORK — Oil soared more than 10 per cent Thursday, its biggest one-day gain since March 2009, lifted by resurgent global stock markets and a report showing the U.S. economy grew faster than previously reported in the second quarter. U.S. oil rose $3.96, or 10.3 per cent, to $42.56 in New York. That is the biggest gain since March 12, 2009, when oil gained 11 per cent. Brent crude rose 10.3 per cent to $47.56 a barrel in London. Oil had fallen to a 6 ½ year low because of a global supply glut and worries about the health of China’s economy. Analysts viewed Thursday’s gain as a reaction to the rebound in China’s main stock index, which rose the most in eight weeks, and don’t see anything pointing to a long-term rally in oil prices. “One up day in a sea of consistent summer selling does not make for an imminent recovery in crude oil, or in gasoline,” said Tom Kloza, global head of en-

government to use for such things as the delivery of health care. Comeau was stopped by police in Campbellton in October 2012 with 14 cases of beer and three bottles of liquor that he had bought in Quebec. He said the beer was for himself and members of this family. The beer and liquor was confiscated and Comeau was given a fine of $292.50. Section 134 of the New Brunswick Liquor Control Act limits anyone from having more than 12 pints of beer not sold by a provincially licensed liquor outlet. Comeau’s defence calls that unconstitutional because Section 121 of the Constitution Act says all goods from a province are to be admitted free into each of the other provinces. But a Crown witness argued Thursday that Section 121 and other sections of the Canadian Constitution being cited by the defence have gone dormant. Tom Bateman, a political science professor at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, said no province would consider imposing duties at provincial borders, so Section 121 has fallen into disuse. Outside the court, Karen Selick of the Canadian Constitution Foundation fired back, saying it’s Section 134 of the provincial act that has gone dormant, and was only used during the two days of the police sting operation when Comeau and 16 others were charged. “If any law has fallen into disuse, surely it is that one and not the Constitution,” she said. New Brunswick Energy Minister Donald Arseneault, who is the member of the legislature for the Campbellton area, said he is glad the issue is before the courts, and the provincial government will review the court decision in due course. Patrick Oland, the chief financial officer for Moosehead Breweries is scheduled to testify for the Crown Friday morning before the lawyers present their closing arguments to Judge Ronald LeBlanc. ergy analysis at Oil Price Information Service. U.S. consumers can still expect to see sharply lower gasoline prices in the fall. Kloza said OPIS sees pump prices falling 12 cents to 17 cents a month from September through December. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline Thursday was $2.53, down 90 cents from a year ago, according to OPIS and AAA. Oil was also boosted by positive U.S. economic news. .

BEER BATTLE

CAMPBELLTON, N.B. — A New Brunswick man charged with illegally importing alcohol from a Quebec border town isn’t alone in making beer runs — in fact, a private investigator says at least two-thirds of the people he observed buying beer in Pointe-ala-Croix are from New Brunswick and “it’s an everyday occurrence.” John Beckingham was hired by the defence for Gerard Comeau, 62, of Tracadie who is fighting the charge on constitutional grounds. Beckingham says he made six trips across the J.C. Van Horne bridge into Pointe-a-la-Croix over a two-week period earlier this month, and every time the parking lots were full of New Brunswick Gerard Comeau vehicles. “Everyday I went it was the same thing. Business as usual,” he told the court Thursday. He said the Quebec stores were almost completely dedicated to beer sales. “Ninety per cent of the floor space was for beer. The other 10 per cent was for snacks you’d have while drinking beer,” Beckingham said. He said the beer is sold at about half the price charged in New Brunswick. Earlier this week, Richard Smith, senior vicepresident of the New Brunswick Liquor Corp., said Quebec prices are cheaper because the producers deal directly with the retailers and the government doesn’t add a mark-up. He said in New Brunswick where the sale of liquor must be through NB Liquor outlets, the corporation adds a mark-up of as much as 89.8 per cent to the price it pays the breweries. “Our mark-ups are consistent with other jurisdictions where governments have mark-ups,” he said. Smith said the Crown corporation makes about $165 million in profits each year for the provincial

Quebec’s securities regulator investigating ex-Bell employee in insider trading case MONTREAL — Quebec’s securities regulator is investigating a former Bell employee for alleged insider trading related to several acquisitions the company made between 2012 and 2015. The watchdog said in a statement that it executed search warrants and obtained freeze and cease trade orders “to stop an illegal insider trading scheme” it says involves Renee Morier, who was the executive assistant to a senior official of BCE Inc., the parent company of Bell Media. AMF spokesman Sylvain Theberge says no one has been arrested and no charges have been laid as the investigation is ongoing.

LONG-DORMANT NATURAL GAS PROJECT MAY COME TO FRUITION BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Imperial Oil is hanging on to hope that its long-dormant plan to tap into natural gas fields in the Far North may eventually come to fruition. The lead partner in the Mackenzie Gas Project has written to the National Energy Board seeking a seven-year extension to a sunset clause attached to federal regulatory approval granted in 2011. The clause requires Imperial and its partners to break ground on the project by the end of this year. But that’s not feasible in today’s market environment, with natural gas prices about half what they were when the regulatory application was first filed in 2004. The request was made in a letter to the NEB penned by Imperial (TSX:IMO) senior vice-president Bart Cahir. Attached is an updated project schedule that would see production begin in 2022 and wrap up in 2026. Other than timing, Cahir said Imperial doesn’t “envision any material changes” to the multibilliondollar project, which would carry natural gas from three fields near the coast of the Beaufort Sea down the Mackenzie Valley through a 1,200-kilometre pipeline. However, the possibility has been raised of converting the Mackenzie gas into a liquid state, enabling it to be exported by sea as liquefied natural gas, or LNG. Imperial and its U.S. parent, ExxonMobil Corp., are considering an LNG project near Prince Rupert, B.C. Imperial’s filing to the NEB includes letters of support from the Northwest Territories government and aboriginal groups that back the project. “It is a precedent-setting project as it is the first in Canada (perhaps globally) where aboriginal people have significant ownership and meaningful participation in a venture of this kind,” wrote Nellie Cournoyea, chair and CEO of the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation. Imperial told the NEB “significant monetary and human resources” have been invested in the project. “With an extension of the Sunset Clause, this effort will be retained and not be lost. The cost and time required to start over would be a significant deterrent to future development of resources in the Mackenzie Delta and in the Mackenzie Valley,” it said. “In conclusion, the MGP proponents continue to believe that, despite current natural gas marketdriven delays, the approved basin-opening project remains in the interest of Northerners and Canadians.” As of late 2013, the entire project was projected to cost at least $20 billion. In June, Imperial and its partners deferred plans to explore for oil in the Beaufort Sea, saying they needed more time to study how to safely drill offshore wells in the harsh Arctic environment. They asked the federal government for a seven-year extension to their licence, which expires in 2020.

In Toronto, the S&P/TSX composite index — up more than 460 points early in the afternoon — closed 385.08 points or 2.88 per cent higher at 13,766.67. The resource-heavy Toronto index got a boost from a big bump in commodity prices that included a 10 per cent increase in the price of benchmark oil as the October contract shot up $3.96 to US$42.56 a barrel. That marked the biggest one-day gain for oil since March 2009. The day got off to a strong start with a solid rebound on China’s main market and a report showing the U.S. economy expanded at a much faster pace in the second quarter than previously estimated. Beyond that, there was simply the lower prices of stocks themselves. “We’ve had this wholesale sell-off in the markets and it effectively went into oversold conditions and this is just buying from that oversold bottom,” said Benjamin Jang, portfolio manager, Nicola Wealth Management in Vancouver. “So, is this a dead cat bounce or a buying opportunity. I’m not entirely sure. But overall, the reason for the sell-off, there was not a single catalyst,” said Jang, who cited concerns over China, oil prices, inflation and the possible effect of an expected increase in interest rates by U.S. Federal Reserve. The Canadian dollar, which also shares a strong correlation with the price of oil, was up 0.59 of a cent at 75.65 cents U.S. It also benefited from a weakening of the greenback after comments Wednesday by William Dudley, president of

In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 369.26 points at 16,654.77 after a more than 600-point jump Wednesday, its third-biggest point gain of all time and largest since October 2008. The broader S&P 500 index rose 47.15 points to 1,987.66 while the Nasdaq jumped 115.17 points to 4,812.71. Elsewhere in commodities, October natural gas lost four cents to US$2.66 per thousand cubic feet, while copper reversed its slide as the December contract shot up nine cents to US$2.33 a pound. December gold retreated $2 to US$1,122.60 an ounce. Thursday’s good news began in China, where the Shanghai index posted its biggest gain in eight weeks, rising more than two per cent. Also cheering markets was a U.S. Commerce Department report that showed gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 3.7 per cent in the AprilJune quarter. That was much higher than the initial estimate of 2.3 per cent and a big improvement over the 0.6 per cent advance in the first quarter and an indication that the world’s largest economy was on solid footing heading into the second half of the year.

BRIEFS

CALGARY — New figures compiled by the National Energy Board show a sharp decline in the amount of crude exported by rail so far this year. Nearly 84,000 barrels a day moved south of the border on trains in the second quarter. But that’s about 30 per cent less than the nearly 120,000 barrels a day that were exported by rail in the first quarter. It’s an even sharper drop from the roughly 159,000 barrels a day in the last three months of 2014. The plunge in crudeby-rail exports comes amid a severe weakening in crude prices — from above US$107 a barrel around the middle of last year to roughly US$40 now. Rail is a more expensive mode of transport than pipelines.

Goldcorp. Teck to combine 2 mine projects in Chile VANCOUVER — Two of Canada’s largest mining companies, Goldcorp and Teck Resources, say they’re going to form a new joint venture to produce gold, copper and molybdenum from two mega projects in Chile. Goldcorp (TSX:G) will contribute its El

The companies expect significant savings and environmental advantages by having the two projects, which are 40 kilometres apart in the Atacama region of Chile’s Huasco province, share some of the necessary infrastructure. Previous studies had estimated the cost of the standalone El Morrow project at US$3.9 billion in 2011 dollars and the standalone Relincho project at US$4.5 billion in 2013 dollars.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Quebec telecom provider Videotron is offering cost relief to its customers worried about music streaming draining their mobile data. The carrier says it will no longer count several popular streaming music services towards its subscribers’ monthly data packages if they’re signed up for its new Unlimited Music service. That means Videotron subscribers listening to music through Stingray, Rdio, Google Play, Deezer and Spotify can now stream as much music as they like without facing extra charges. It’s the first time a Canadian wireless carrier has eliminated one of the most common complaints of streaming music fans — that playing too many songs can drive their data usage through the roof, costing them extra money. Streaming music services have been rising in popularity over the past year, offering instant access to huge libraries of music for a monthly subscription charge or for free with advertisements inserted between the songs. “More and more consumers are

TD, CIBC post strong earnings growth in Q3 BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A sustained drop in energy prices since last year and rockbottom interest rates have created a challenging operating environment for the banks, but most of Canada’s biggest lenders have managed to weather the storm and beat expectations. Both TD Bank and CIBC reported strong earnings growth on Thursday, following similarly positive reports from Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank and National Bank earlier this week. Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) reports its results on Friday. Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX:TD) grew its third-quarter net profit by 7.5 per cent to $2.266 billion, or $1.19 per share. On an adjusted basis, earnings were $1.20 per share, up from $1.15 a year ago and three cents above analyst estimates. TD’s chief financial officer says the benefits from low energy prices — such as more money in consumers’ pockets when they save at the pump and a boost in manufacturing and exports — will make up for potentially higher loan losses in oil-dependent provinces. “Lower energy prices actually are positive if you look to Central Canada and the northeastern U.S.,” Colleen Johnston said in an interview Thursday. “So there are some potential offsets.” Despite concerns about how low

crude prices will affect the banks, so far the uptick in impaired loans to the energy sector have been manageable for the banks. Meanwhile, consumer loans — which could be a bigger problem given that they constitute a more significant portion of the banks’ loan books — have not shown any signs of stress. Mark Chauvin, TD’s chief risk officer, said that’s likely to change. He anticipates that consumer delinquencies in Western Canada could start to move higher over the next quarter or two. “We still feel that it’s probably early and it’s probably still to come,” Chauvin said during the bank’s conference call. “You can certainly see in those markets that unemployment is going up. We’re just not seeing it translated to our delinquencies yet.” CIBC’s (TSX:CM) chief executive Victor Dodig said that, although oildependent provinces are likely to face further difficulties in the quarters ahead, there are signs that manufacturing is rebounding thanks to the low loonie and growing U.S. demand. “These macro trends, combined with the benefits we’re seeing from our client-focused strategy, are expected to mitigate the negative returns impact from a prolonged downturn in energy prices,” Dodig told analysts during a conference call Thursday. CIBC boosted its quarterly dividend as it reported that its third-quarter net income grew to $978 million, up 6.2 per cent from the same time last year.

Not every streaming music service available in Canada qualifies for the Videotron data reprieve, however. Apple Music isn’t included on the company’s list of eligible services, and neither is Songza, though Videotron said the latter will be added in the coming weeks. Fellow wireless carrier Fido, which is owned by Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI), has a partnership with Spotify which bundles a commercial-free version of the service with its monthly plans. Unlike Videotron, Fido still counts streaming music as part of its customer’s data package.

New study suggests the universe is dying BY RACHEL FELTMAN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Like all good things, our universe will one day come to an end. Just how that end will look is still something of a mystery. But one new study suggests that our universe won’t go out with a bang, but with a whimper: According to these scientists, stars are growing dim. Researchers presented their findings on Monday at the International Astronomical Union XXIX General Assembly. The survey, which is part of the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) project, used several powerful telescopes to measure the energy output of some 200,000 galaxies, some far enough away to give us a glimpse into the past -- because of how long it takes the light from those stars to reach our telescopes. Based on observations of the galaxies over 21 different wavelengths of light, which allowed researchers to calculate their energy output, their rate of star formation and the rate at which they merged with one another, astronomers have concluded that the universe is dimming. Just 2 billion years ago, they report, the energy being produced in the section of the universe they studied was twice what it is today. “The universe is curling up on the sofa and becoming a couch potato,” study author Joe Liske of the European Southern Observatory told the Guardian. Scientists already knew that the stars of the universe were getting less bright in terms of ultraviolet light. However, this is the first study to look across all wavelengths of light, showing the general trend toward darkness and nothingness. Here’s what’s happening, in a nutshell: The universe reached its peak period of star formation a long, long time ago. There just isn’t as much raw material to work with as there used to be. The laws of physics are such that usable energy will increasingly waste away into forms that stars can’t use, like heat. It’s not as if a “dead” universe would disappear. But with fewer and fewer bright stars, there would be fewer and fewer opportunities for life to evolve and thrive. One day our universe will host only dimly-lit stars, and those will dwindle over time, as well. But don’t be too depressed: The sun is going to burn out way before we have to worry about the universe itself running out of energy. “It’s going to be a long process; I guess we’ve got worse things to worry about at some level,” lead researcher Simon Driver of the University of Western Australia told the Los Angeles Times. “In about 5 billion years the sun is going to swell up and swallow the Earth; in about 10 billion years it’s going to collide with the nearest [major] galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy; and in about 100 billion years the universe will be so expanded and producing so little light that we basically won’t see anything.” So that’s comforting.

Japan delivers whiskey to space station BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spirits arrived at the International Space Station on Monday. Not the ghostly ones, but the kind you drink — distilled spirits. The six astronauts won’t be sneaking a sip. It’s all for science. A Japanese company known for its whiskey and other alcoholic beverages included five types of distilled spirits in a space station cargo ship. The station’s big robotic arm — operated by Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui — grabbed onto the supply craft launched Wednesday by his homeland. Flight controllers helped anchor it down. The supply ship contains nearly 10,000 pounds of cargo, including the six liquor samples. Suntory Global Innovation Center in Tokyo wants to see if alcoholic beverages mellow the same in space as they do on Earth. The samples will be used for experiments and will spend at least a year in orbit before being returned to Earth. An identical set of samples will be stored on the ground in Japan. The experiment has NASA’s blessing. Spokesman Dan Huot said all research flown to the space station is agreed upon by everyone involved. It’s not the first liquor-related space study. Japan also sent up 12 mice aboard the Kounotori vessel, Japanese for white stork, as part of an aging study. NASA has considerable equipment aboard the supply capsule. Many are replacements for items lost in the failed SpaceX supply run at the end of June. The Florida launch accident destroyed everything on board. The replacements include spacewalking equipment, an emergency breathing kit, toilet wiring and parts for the water recycling system. The 250-mile-high outpost was in need of fresh supplies, after losing three shipments in eight months. SpaceX remains grounded, as does another U.S. supplier, Orbital Sciences Corp., which suffered a launch explosion last October in Virginia. A Russian cargo ship went out of control in April and was destroyed on re-entry, but the country has since corrected the problem and resumed deliveries. U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly — who last week said the delivery was “very important” given the circumstances — welcomed the stork. “Great job by my crewmates,” Kelly said via Twitter.

The absurdity of women’s clothing sizes BY CHRISTOPHER INGRAHAM ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Here are some numbers that illustrate the insanity of women’s clothing sizes: A size 8 dress today is nearly the equivalent of a size 16 dress in 1958. And a size 8 dress of 1958 doesn’t even have a modern-day equivalent — the waist and bust measurements of a Mad Men-era 8 come in smaller than today’s size 00. These measurements come from official sizing standards once maintained by the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology), and taken over in recent years by the American Society of Testing and Materials. Data visualizer Max Galka recently unearthed them for a blog post on America’s obesity epidemic. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show that the average American woman today weighs about as much as the average 1960s man. And while the weight story is pretty straightforward — Americans got heavier — the story behind the dress sizes is a little more complicated, as any woman who’s ever shopped for clothes could probably tell you. As Julia Felsenthal detailed over at Slate, today’s women’s clothing sizes have their roots in a depression-era government project to define the Average American Woman by sending a pair of statisticians to survey and measure nearly 15,000 women. They “hoped to determine whether any proportional relationships existed among measurements that could be broadly applied to create a simple, standardized system of sizing,” Felsenthal writes. Sadly, they failed. Not surprisingly, women’s bodies defied standardization. The project did yield one lasting contribution to women’s clothing: the statisticians were the first to propose the notion of arbitrary numerical sizes that weren’t based on any specific measurement — similar to shoe sizes. The government didn’t return to the project until the late 1950s, when the National Bureau of Standards published “Body Measurements for the Sizing of Women’s Patterns and Apparel” in 1958. The standard was based on the 15,000 women interviewed previously, with the addition of a group of women who had been in the Army during World War II. The document’s purpose? “To provide the consumer with a means of identifying her body type and size from the wide range of body types covered, and enable her to be fitted properly by the same size regardless of price, type of apparel, or manufacturer of the garment.” The standard included the first modern women’s clothing size charts, and it provides the first datapoints. Women’s sizes BAILEY P. ranged from 8 to 42. A size FORD EMPLOYEE 8 woman had a bust of 31 inches, a 23.5 inch waist, and a weight of 98 pounds. The government updated these standards again in 1970. But already, manufacturers were getting

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A Toronto-based womenswear designer has a second chance at success in a contest for up-and-coming Canadian designers. Laura Siegel has been named as a wild card entry in the Mercedes-Benz Start Up program. She recently participated in the semifinal runway show in Thornhill, Ont., but didn’t initially make the final cut. Siegel was also a finalist in last year’s competition. Toronto-based womenswear line Narces, designed by Nikki Worthensohn, and Montreal’s Leinad Beaudet were also selected as wild-card entrants. They join a trio of previously announced finalists, including Calgary unisex brand S.P. Badu by Spencer Badu and Montreal-based UNTTLD designed by Jose Manuel St-Jacques and Simon Belanger. Sisters Chloe and Parris Gordon of Torontobased womenswear and accessory brand Beaufille round out the list of finalists. The six labels will participate in the national finale at Toronto’s World MasterCard Fashion Week.

Siegel among wild cards in start up designer contest

restless, Slate’s Felsenthal writes. It became apparent that the “representative” women measured for the standard weren’t representative at all. Non-white women were excluded. The group of women from the Army were almost certainly fitter than the average American woman. By 1983, the government ditched the standard completely. Manufacturers were left to define sizes as they saw fit. Enter the era of vanity sizing. Clothing manufacturers realized that they could flatter consumers by revising sizes downward. The measurements that added up to a size 12 in 1958 would get redefined to a size 6 by 2011. And different manufacturers defined sizes differently too — a fascinating New York Times graphic from 2011 shows how a size 8 waist measurement could differ by as much as 5 inches of cloth between different designers. The American Society of Testing and Materials, a non-governmental international standards organization, began trying to restandardize women’s sizes in the 1990s. But by then, the sizing genie was well out of the bottle. But if you’ve dealt with the frustration of buying or trying on women’s clothes recently — particularly if you’re short, tall, or in any way idiosyncratically shaped — you know that most manufacturers ignore these standards. It doesn’t help that the testing society charges for access to its sizing tables. What good’s a standard if you keep it under lock and key? So women are left to navigate the chaos of arbitrary sizing on their own. So much for enabling women “to be fitted properly by the same size regardless of price, type of apparel, or manufacturer of the garment,” as the government’s 1958 standard loftily envisioned.

Woman irked at being left out of will Dear Annie: My parents own a good amount of land in their native country. When I was growing up, they paid for my tuition but were not very supportive emotionally. I sponsored them to come to the U.S., and because they didn’t speak English (and MITCHELL still don’t), I & SUGAR helped them find jobs. The problem is, my parents are giving everything they own and whatever they made during their lifetimes to my brothers as an inheritance. They are leaving nothing to me. I’ve decided to encourage them to move back home and live with their

ANNIE ANNIE

sons. Why should I be handling their bills, buying their groceries, picking up their prescriptions, taking them to the doctor and acting as their interpreter? I’ve paid back every penny they spent on me, including my tuition. I’m angry that I am obligated to take care of them when they are leaving everything to my brothers. Please help. — Foolish Daughter in the Midwest Dear Daughter: We assume your parents come from a culture that values sons more than daughters, and that daughters are expected to care for the parents while sons inherit property. While this is hardly fair, you cannot expect your parents to overcome their own cultural upbringing so easily. You need to think of this differently: Your parents do not owe you an inheritance. They raised you and helped you get into college by loaning you tuition. Anything you do now is out of gratitude, love, compassion or obligation.

And your brothers should welcome the opportunity to do the same. Dear Annie: I am a cross-dresser and like your good advice to “No Life Without Wife.” I married in the early ‘80s and did not tell my wife about my cross-dressing. Nine years later, I wanted her to be part of my complete life. I told her by leaving women’s clothing in the closet and telling her they were mine. She said she needed time to think about it. Nine months later, she still wouldn’t talk about it or see a therapist and said I needed professional help. That led to a divorce. In time, I realized that if I wanted to enjoy my cross-dressing and be able to share my pleasure with someone, I have to tell that person early on. When I told my current wife about my cross-dressing, she asked whether I was gay. I told her no. She asked a lot of other questions and I answered them as truthfully as I could. She was willing

to compromise, and now the two of us enjoy both of my worlds. I would strongly advise “No Life” to tell his wife in person, privately and as soon as possible. Turn off all phones, and let her know you have something important to say. Stay calm, and let her absorb the news at her own pace. He also should have the name of a therapist ready in case he or his wife wish to speak to a professional. — Glad I Did Dear Glad: It is important not to keep such important parts of your life hidden from your spouse. Aside from the surprise, it also feels like a betrayal not to have known. Thank you for your testimonial.

BRIEF Texas couple whips up wedding at hospital before bride gives birth to baby girl It could have been the plot of a movie: A Houston couple improvises a hospital wedding in less than an hour after the bride goes into labour early. Stephanie Tallent was eight months pregnant and having an ultrasound Friday when she went into labour at Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women in Houston. Fortunately she and fiance Jason Nese had gotten their marriage license the day before. Nese fetched the license from his car, along with a white sun dress Tallent meant to send to the cleaners. A chaplain was called and a party of doctors, nurses and staff rounded up for the wedding.

Pediatricians group calls for early exposure to peanuts A pediatricians’ group is recommending that infants at high risk of peanut allergies be given foods containing peanuts before they turn 1. The guidance is in response to a major allergy study published earlier this year that found that exposure to peanuts in infancy seemed to help build tolerance — contrary to conventional thinking. Allergy tests are recommended first for at-risk infants. These are youngsters who’ve had skin reactions to eating eggs or a severe eczema skin rash.

INDIE BAND HAS A SENTIMENTAL YEARNING FOR THE HAPPINESS OF THE ’90S BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

Nostalgia is a reoccurring theme for Vancouver indie band Derrival, which makes music with 1980s synth-pop influences and ’90s pop culture references. But with all five group members under the age of 23, it’s a rather recent theme. “I think when you hit 18, you start to get nostalgic about things,” said 20-year-old singer/guitarist Adam Mah, who performs with the rest of his award-winning band on Tuesday, Sept. 1, at Fratters Speakeasy in Red

Deer. People born in the 1990s will reminisce sentimentally about Power Rangers, Pokémon “and the things we used to do,” said Mah. While “most kids today are on their smart phones, playing Angry Birds,” he feels he grew up at a time of tech-lite — the era of “Windows ’95 and dial-up Internet, when technology wasn’t as huge as it is now.” Mah recalled playing in a forest behind his house near Fort Langley, B.C., when he was a kid in the late 1990s, “making up games with my friends. ...” Please see DERRIVAL on Page D2

Pass the popcorn, hold the morality NO ESCAPE SETS OUT TO PROVOKE A REACTION WITH NO THOUGHT TO THE COMPLEX MORAL QUESTIONS AT STAKE No Escape 2.5 stars (out of four) Rated: 14A No Escape is a real button pusher, a movie that sets out to provoke a reaction with no thought to the complex moral questions at stake. And it succeeds, almost too well. Viewers are caught up in the heartstopping efforts of a Texas family — led by parents played by Owen Wilson and Lake Bell — to flee murderous hordes after a coup topples PETER the government HOWELL in an unnamed Southeast Asian nation. Little thought is given to the truthfulness or fairness of the not-so-subliminal message being peddled along with the action: Westerners abroad are at risk from godless foreigners, who constantly plot to kill, rape or rob them. It would be unfair to damn No Escape (previously titled The Coup) for Hollywood stereotyping that goes back to the dawn of cinema. Still, this is a particularly ripe example of the medium’s worst xenophobic tendencies. It would be easy to image a bootleg copy of this film being played on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign tour bus. In terms of pure popcorn escapism, No Escape delivers from the get-go, cutting to the chase without belabouring the character details. Genial businessman Jack Dwyer (Wilson), his dutiful wife Annie (Bell) and their two daughters (Sterling Jerins and Claire Geare) are moving to a country adjoining Vietnam that

Jack’s once-skyrocketing career as an inventor (“We came up with this valve that was almost a big deal”) has sputtered, but he’s found new work with an American-led multinational firm that promises clean water to Third World nations, for a price. On the flight over, they meet a grizzled British traveller (Pierce Brosnan), who knows the region well and who promises, “You’ll get to love it here.” The words have barely left his lips when the opposite occurs. Jack, Annie and their daughters are caught in a massive street revolution that follows a political assassination. It soon becomes bloodily apparent

that there’s a bullet waiting for every Westerner who shows his or her face. Little attempt is made to explain why the locals are so hostile, apart from their chant of “Blood for water,” indicating their resentment over resources being exploited by offshore capitalists. “I thought that we were here to help,” Jack vainly counters, on the run. All that matters is that the Dwyers escape. They display ingenuity and ferocity in their increasingly violent efforts, as the odds rise against them. What small assistance they get is generally from other Westerners, not from kind-hearted locals, who appear to be in extremely short supply.

Director John Erick Dowdle (Devil) and his co-writer sibling Drew Dowdle know exactly what they’re about, for better and for worse. They’ve made a highly engaging thriller with fleet camera work and editing that pulls us into the orbit of a family in crisis. They’ve done so with two leads, Wilson and Bell, who are better known for comic turns than dramatic ones. Too bad the Dowdle Bros. couldn’t have shown similar flair in their cultural portraits. No Escape is great entertainment. It’s just not a very moral movie. Peter Howell is a syndicated Toronto Star movie critic.

Let’s go to the circus! FIRST FRIDAY BY ADVOCATE STAFF Circus acrobat paintings and “contradictory” wood engravings can be seen during Red Deer’s First Friday gallery openings for September. In the spirit of Toulouse-Lautrec, artist Dawn Saunders Dahl is tackling circus subject matter in her Prairie Circus Series: Figurative Works exhibit. Her oil paintings of circus people can be seen at the Kiwanis Gallery, operated by the Red Deer Arts Council. The opening reception for Dahl’s display, downstairs at the Red Deer Public Library, is on First Friday, Sept. 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibit continues to Oct. 18. Wood engravings by Jim Westergard are featured in the Distorted Contradictions show, on from Sept. 4 to Oct. 30 at the white gallery, which is accessed from the main floor of Sunworks on Ross Street.

From VMAs punchline to social activist pop star

STORY FROM PAGE D1

DERRIVAL: Power Rangers in video He would also put in serious time practising the guitar. Mah recalled making a definite choice when he was about 14 to leave minor hockey and his dreams of playing in the NHL behind to team up with his musician friends Deven Azevedo, on bass, and Daniel Kozlowski, on drums. When the three were set to record their original music, it occurred to Azevedo that his former kindergarten classmate who still lived down the street had some equipment that could come in handy. “He hadn’t talked to him in 10 years, but Deven went to Glen’s house to see if we could use his stuff,” recalled Mah, with a chuckle.

But because of who I came out with, people got upset.”

“I know what I’m doing. I know I’m shocking you,” she told Rolling Stone. She explained the same thing to MTV News, which said her performance was called everything from “hypersexualized” to “the nadir of American Civilization.” She and Thicke wanted to make history, she explained, and viewers were really over-thinking it. Cyrus also responded to the criticisms that her performance was appropriating from black culture, from the twerking to her back-up dancers. “It’s a double-standard. I didn’t really realize it, but people are still racist. It’s kind of insane,” she said. “Like if I had come out (at the VMAs) with all whitegirl dancers, and done the (expletive) ‘Cha Cha Slide’ — same outfit, same everything — it wouldn’t have been bad.

Confident she had everyone’s attention, Cyrus used this time period to officially shed her Hannah Montana and Nicholas Sparks-actress persona. And her fans and devotees (or at least her 21 million Twitter followers and 27 million Instagram followers) loved it. She changed her clothing style and hair, sticking out her tongue in nearly every photo. She smoked a joint on stage at the MTV European Music Awards. During her 2014 concert tour, Washington Post pop critic Chris Richards described the scene: “Cyrus rode a giant fiberglass hot dog through the air and pantomimed a sex act with a dude dressed up like Abraham Lincoln. It was a sexed-up episode of Teletubbies.”

That’s how lead guitarist Glen Jackson joined up with the former trio six years ago. He also brought his keyboardist pal Shane Stephenson on board. Soon the five members of Derrival (named as a mash-up of ‘departure’ and ‘arrival,’ and pronounced to rhyme with arrival) “developed a bond like brothers,” said Mah — as well as a shared musical sensibility. The band’s synth-pop sound borrows from the ’80s records the musicians’ parents listened to. This is combined with guitar-rock, in the vein of French band Phoenix or Scottish group Chvrches. Derrival’s nostalgic tone has been striking a chord with music fans in B.C.’s lower mainland. It’s also reaping acclaim, since the band nabbed the second-place prize of $75,000 from the radio-station and business sponsored 2014 Peak Performance Project. (The first-place award of $102,700 went to Good For Grapes.) The musicians were thrilled to do so well in the B.C. contest, and plan to

use the prize money to record a fulllength 2016 album. It will follow the band’s latest five-song EP, Departure and Arrival, which was released last week. The first single, Canvas, comes with an amusingly low-tech video featuring — what else? — Power Rangers, or at least the Derrival version of them. The Youtube music video purposely looks like it was made in somebody’s backyard, said Mah, who handed the $1,500 budget to his actor friend, Sean Depner, to produce as an amateur side project. The plot features the five Derrival Rangers combatting a giant Asian business man who’s terrorizing a city inhabited by tiny Godzillas that act

like humans. Mah wears a princesspink suit, emblazoned with a heart. “The outfits were mom-made. My mom makes costumes for films,” he said, with a chuckle. Mah admitted the cheesy story line has absolutely nothing to do with the broken-relationship theme of the song, Canvas — unless you equate a monstrous businessman wreaking havoc with an emotional breakup. “But it was an absolute riot to make. It was awesome!” Derrival performs at 8 p.m. with special guests, Red Deer’s Underside Pattern and St. Groove. There’s a $10 cover charge.

The beginning of the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. A giant teddy bear’s stomach opens on stage to reveal Miley Cyrus, sticking out her tongue. Miley starts twerking. There’s Robin Thicke. There’s Miley twerking on Robin Thicke. A foam finger is involved. No one will remember the rest of the show, but they won’t forget the opener. It’s been two years since that VMAs incident, which spawned a thousand memes and culminated in a frenzy over the former Disney actress. Rolling

Six things that took Cyrus from pop culture punchline to inescapable pop star and social rights advocate. 1. She was unapologetic about the VMAs performance.

Stone called her “a tongue-wagging, hard-twerking, all-grown-up pop star,” adding that 161 people complained to the FCC after her “pornographic” performance. Cyrus, of public fascination since she was a tween on hit series Hannah Montana, was suddenly elevated to a ubiquitous celebrity who simultaneously entertained and horrified people. However, since that show in 2013, Cyrus has managed to do the unthinkable: Keep people talking about her, but not only about that one performance. If anything, she’s made a true effort to advance beyond the label of “quirky pop star” by advocating for serious social issues. “All these things that I do get all this attention,” she told Out magazine. “But then what do I do once I have everyone’s attention?” As it turns out, Cyrus had a lot more in store than just her infamous twerking — and things have come full circle, as on Sunday, she’s actually hosting the 2015 VMAs. Here’s how she got there:

SIX WAYS MILEY CYRUS HAS MANAGED TO DO THE UNTHINKABLE

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Aug. 28, 2015 D3

Adios to the sounds of old Cuba BY GEOFFREY HIMES ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES When American guitarist Ry Cooder and British producer Nick Gold rendezvoused in Cuba in April 1996 to record some of the aging masters of the island’s “son” music, they turned to Juan de Marcos Gonzalez, the bandleader of the Havana band Sierra Maestra. The foreigners told him they wanted at least one woman for the sessions. For Gonzalez, the choice was easy: Omara Portuondo, sometimes called “the Billie Holiday of Cuba.” Legend has it that the members of the soon-tobe-dubbed Buena Vista Social Club were forgotten and down on their luck when Cooder and Gold found them. But Portuondo was still well-known and busy. At the time, this was just one more gig for her before an Asian tour. “It wasn’t a surprise to me that we became famous,” the 84-year-old singer said by phone from Chicago, where she was performing as part of Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club’s “Adios Tour.” “We were famous before we joined this group. Ibrahim Ferrer, Eliades Ochoa, Compay Segundo and I were all popular singers, both with bands and as solos,” she said. “We all knew each other, and we all loved each other.” The group’s 1997 Grammy Award-winning album, Buena Vista Social Club, ending up going platinum in the United States and selling more than eight million copies worldwide, and it’s widely credited for sparking renewed international interest in Cuban music and tourism. This year, 14 unreleased tracks — four from the 1996 sessions, six from subsequent studio sessions for solo albums by the band’s members, and four live performances — have been released as the album Lost and Found. Portuondo, Ochoa and Barbarito Torres have reunited for the Adios Tour. Another alumnus from the 1996 sessions, trumpet soloist Manuel “Guajiro” Mirabal, also is on the tour, as are music director Jesus “Aguaje” Ramos and nine younger Cuban musicians steeped in the traditional sound. The original cast on the 1997 album played only three concerts: two in Amsterdam and one at New York’s Carnegie Hall, which was filmed by director Wim Wenders for the Academy Award-winning documentary Buena Vista Social Club. After those three concerts, the band members made solo albums and toured as solo acts or as subgroups of the famous first lineup. Over the years, many of the other key 1996 participants died: Segundo and pianist Ruben Gonzalez in 2003, Ferrer in 2005, conguero Anga Diaz in 2006, bassist Orlando “Cachaito” Lopez in 2009 and guitarist Manuel Galban in 2011. Maybe this really is “adios.” But the chain of inheritance is hard to break. Lisa-Kainde Diaz and Naomi Diaz, the twin daughters of Anga Diaz, earlier this year released their impressive debut album, Ibeyi, also their duo’s name, taken from the Yoruban word for “twins.” Blending Cuban rhythms, electronic keyboards and samplers and close-harmony vocals, they carry “son” into the 21st century.

TIFF stars set to relive Princess Bride in Jason Reitman’s live read event STORY FROM PAGE D2

CYRUS: Gender identification — fluid 3. She changed her music. No more squeaky-clean pop songs like G.N.O. (Girls Night Out). Cyrus dropped her agent and manager and collaborated with Pharrell Williams on her hip-hop-tinged Bangerz album, which featured hits like We Can’t Stop and Wrecking Ball. Then came her famous video, where she sat naked — on a wrecking ball, naturally. She was still criticized for cultural appropriation and Pharrell defended her. “You have to remember this is a 20-year-old evolving. Her dad is Billy Ray Cyrus, her godmother is Dolly Parton and she’s raised in an era where hip-hop was king,” he said in an MTV documentary. “So when people look and (go) ‘Why is she twerking? Why is she doing this?’ Because she’s a byproduct of America.” 4. She became an LGBT rights activist. Pre-VMAs, Cyrus penned an essay for Glamour about why she got a tattoo in support of gay marriage. “When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘All LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me — they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’” she wrote.

The lineup for the Buena Vista Social Club’s Adios Tour, from left: Eliades Ochoa, Omara Portuondo, Barbarito Torres, Manuel ‘Guajiro’ Mirabal and Jesus ‘Aguaje’ Ramos. One inescapable model for their female harmonies was the quartet Cuarteto d’Aida, which featured Portuondo from 1953 through 1967. The group was part of the “feeling” music movement that swept through Cuba at the beginning of the 1950s. This musical new wave emphasized the free interpretation of Afro-Cuban singing over the notated precision of the Spanish conservatories, and Portuondo emerged as perhaps its most gifted role model. “I did ‘feeling’ music because all the younger people were doing this new kind of music that relied more on emotion and interpretation than on composition,” she said. “I was singing like that for a long time before the Buena Vista Social Club, and for a long time after.” Cuarteto d’Aida often performed at Havana’s Tropicana, the most famous nightclub in the Caribbean in the ’50s. Trees grew between tables within the giant, arched windows, and scantily clad, multifeathered chorus girls danced in the aisles and on the catwalks overhead. When Nat King Cole came to Cuba in 1958 to record his first Spanish-language album, Cole Espanol, he played the Tropicana. “I was singing with the Aida Quartet,” Portuondo recalled, “and we sang with him at the Tropicana. He was a wonderful musician and a wonderful gentleman. He wanted to sing the real Cuban music, and we helped him do that.”

Early in 1959, however, the Cuban Revolution toppled the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship and seized control of Havana’s nightclubs from such American mobsters as Meyer Lansky and Santo Trafficante. President Dwight Eisenhower imposed an American embargo on travel and trade with Cuba in 1961, and it wasn’t until this past December that President Obama announced plans to reestablish diplomatic ties with Cuba. There’s no question that the international success of the Buena Vista Social Club has made a small contribution to the easing of tensions between Cuba and the rest of the world. “Music is the language of all the people in the world, not just in Cuba, but also in the United States and Europe,” Portuondo said. “It helps people to understand each other better. When you do music, people enjoy it so much that it doesn’t matter what countries they’re from. If I sing a love song in Spanish, I don’t know how, but everyone understands the song and feels romantic. If I do a song with rhythm, everyone understands the beat and dances along.” For many listeners, their warm feelings for Cuban music and the Cuban people began with that 1997 Buena Vista Social Club album. The “Adios Tour” offers perhaps the last chance to share an evening with some of the club’s original members.

TORONTO — Princess Bride fans, prepare to laugh. This year’s live read at the Toronto International Film Festival will be the beloved Rob Reiner fairy tale. Jason Reitman announced the pick on Twitter, noting that the family favourite won the people’s choice award at the festival back in 1987. Reitman’s popular stage event features celebrities and comedians who are invited to read a screenplay aloud in its entirety. The Montreal-born director recently staged a star-

studded edition in Montreal that featured Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender reading Joel and Ethan Coen’s The Big Lebowski. Expected celebrity guests at this year’s TIFF include The Princess Bride director Reiner and star Cary Elwes. The Toronto International Film Festival runs Sept. 10 to 20. “In 1987, Princess Bride won Toronto Film Festival,” Reitman tweeted. “On Sept. 12th, we’re going to pay tribute to that perfect script.”

“And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’” Post-VMAs, Cyrus continued to speak out in support for same-sex marriage. In a profile of Cyrus this year, Paper magazine wrote that “she says she has come to consider her own sexuality — even her own gender identification — fluid.” Cyrus talked for the first time about how she’s also had serious relationships with women, but the media only focuses on things like her engagement to Liam Hemsworth.

Cyrus posted YouTube videos of her singing songs with celebrities from Ariana Grande to Joan Jett. Cyrus told the AP that the money raised will create support groups to help the teens, and also go to My Friend’s Place, which helps homeless kids in Los Angeles.

5. She brought a homeless teenager on stage to accept her VMA Award. Cyrus won the coveted Video of the Year at the 2014 VMAs for Wrecking Ball. But instead of taking the stage, she sent a boy named Jesse in her place, who said he represented the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the country. “The music industry will make over $7 billion this year, and outside these doors are 54,000 human beings who have no physical home,” he said, as the cameras showed Cyrus in the audience with tears streaming down her face. “If you want to make a powerful change in the world right now, please join us and go to Miley’s Facebook page.” 6. She started the Happy Hippie Foundation. Shaken by the suicide of transgender teenager Leelah Alcorn in December 2014, Cyrus said that was one of the reasons she started the Happy Hippie Foundation, a non-profit that fights “injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable populations.” To promote the initiative this spring,

Erika thrashes Dominica, takes aim at Puerto Rico TROPICAL STORM BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRIEF Man taking photos of bison on Catalina Island gored by animal AVALON, Calif. — The head of a conservation group has been gored by a bison on Santa Catalina Island, off the California coast. Forty-three-year-old Chris Baker was airlifted to a hospital Wednesday after the attack near the Two Harbors area. Baker is president and CEO of the American Conservation Experience. The Flagstaff, Arizona-based group says Baker was doing field work for a new trail system when he turned a corner and found the bison in front of him. The group says the animal charged Baker. He then walked a quarter-mile on a hiking path until he saw three off-duty firefighters. The group says Baker is recovering from moderate injuries. About 300 bison live on Catalina. The animals are descendants of 14 animals that were shipped over in 1924 for a Western film.

Brazilian police raid synthetic drug trafficking gang in nationwide sting

Trees and light poles were strewn across streets as water rushed over parked cars and ripped the scaffolding off some buildings. The main airport was closed due to flooding, with water rushing over at least one small plane. The main river that cuts through the capital overflowed its banks and surging water crashed into the principal bridge that leads into Roseau. “The capital city is a wreck,” policewoman Teesha Alfred said. “It is a sight to behold. It’s a disaster.” Erika was likely to hit the island of Hispaniola, which is shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic, said chief forecaster James Franklin at the National Hurricane Center. “That would certainly not be good news for Hispaniola,” he said. “They’re very vulnerable to flooding. And even if Erika is a weak system that could be very bad there.” Officials shuttered schools, government offices and businesses across the region and warned of flash flooding because of dry conditions caused by the worst drought to hit the Caribbean in recent years. An abandoned truck was found with at least 20 — and possibly up to 50 — decomposing bodies of migrants piled inside. It was the latest tragedy in a year that has seen tens of thousands of people risking all to seek a better life or refuge in wealthy European countries. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said at the Vienna conference she was “shaken by the awful news,” and summit participants held a minute of silence. “This reminds us that we in Europe need to tackle the problem quickly and find solutions in the spirit of solidarity,” Merkel said. Migrants fearful of death at sea in overcrowded and flimsy boats as they flee turmoil and war in the Middle East have increasingly turned to using a land route to Europe through the Western Balkans. Thousands cross from Greece daily with the help of smugglers, aiming to reach European Union countries like Germany, Austria or Sweden and apply for asylum. The human traffickers may charge thousands of dollars per person, only to stuff them into trucks and vans so tightly that they often cannot move.

U.S. man dies from plague in country’s fourth fatal case this year SALT LAKE CITY — A man in his 70s has died after contracting the plague, bringing to four the number of deaths from the disease reported in the United States this year, health officials said Thursday. Officials are still trying to determine how the Utah person contracted the disease, but believe it might have been spread by a flea or contact with a dead animal, according to the state Department of Health. Plague is a rare disease that is carried by rodents and spread by fleas. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 11 other cases have been reported in six states since April 1. The other three people who died were ages 16, 52 and 79.

Authorities warned power and water service might be temporarily cut off. Puerto Rico Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla said the storm could bring badly needed rains to the parched U.S. territory. “We’re happy given the dry conditions, but it does highlight the need to be on alert,” he said, adding that heavy downpours could lead to flash floods. He activated the National Guard as a precaution. The storm is expected to hit Puerto Rico’s southern region overnight and exit through the island’s northwest. The storm’s outer bands have already downed several trees and power lines across the island, and small landslides were reported. Garcia said schools and government offices would remain closed on Friday. Erika is expected to dump between 10 to 20 centimetres of rain across the region, with up to 31 centimetres in some areas. Dozens of flights were cancelled in the region, and the U.S. Coast Guard closed all ports in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

ROSEAU, Dominica — Rescue crews fanned across Dominica late Thursday to search for missing and injured people after Tropical Storm Erika pummeled the eastern Caribbean island, unleashing landslides and killing at least four people. The storm, which forecasters said could reach Florida as a hurricane on Monday, dumped 15 inches (38 centimetres) of rain on the small island as it spun west toward Puerto Rico. An elderly blind man and two children were killed when a mudslide crashed into their home in the southeast of the island, said Police Chief Daniel Carbon. Another man was found dead near his home in the capital of Roseau after a mudslide, but the cause of death could not be immediately determined, Carbon said. Police said another 20 people have been reported missing. “Erika has really, really visited us with a vengeance,” Assistance Police Superintendent Claude Weekes said in a phone interview. “There are many fallen rocks and trees, and water. It’s really chaotic.” He said crews are trying to reach isolated communities via the ocean because many roads and bridges are impassable. “We’re going to work throughout the night to see if we can get to the areas,” he said. “There are people missing in different parts of the island.” Erika was centred about 235 kilometres)southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and was moving west at 19 kph with maximum sustained winds of to 75 kph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. Erika was expected to move near Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on Thursday and be near or just north of the Dominican Republic on Friday as it heads toward Florida early next week, possibly as a hurricane. Chris Landsea, a meteorologist at the hurricane centre, said the storm could dissipate if it passed over Hispaniola or Puerto Rico or it could strengthen and pose a potential threat to Florida next week. “The uncertainties are very high,” he said. As the storm entered the Caribbean, it did the heaviest damage to Dominica, an island of about 72,000 people of lush forests and steep terrain. Authorities were still conducting a full damage assessment after rivers surged over their banks and walls of mud surged into homes. About 80 per cent of the island was without electricity, and water supply was cut off, authorities said.
