Stan Swiatek opens the door to the $160,000 vault located beneath his covered greenhouse on a plot of land northwest of Airdrie. Here he hopes to store commercially produced medicinal marijuana for 1,200 patients. He claims he’s on the cutting edge of a soon-to-be massive market in Canada, but his neighbours claim he’s putting them at risk and hurting their property values.

Thirty residents of Varsity have launched a lawsuit against the Calgary Board of Education in a bid to prevent a new school for special-needs students from being built on a green space near their homes. The lawsuit, filed last week, seeks an immediate injunction that would halt the development of the new Christine Meikle school and asserts that, by law, the CBE should have already turned the site over to the city to be designated as municipal reserve land, thereby terminating the $24-million project in

that location. The residents are also seeking compensation for “diminution” of their property values as well as exemplary damages for “the high-handed conduct” of the CBE. None of the allegations have been proven in court. Metro contacted several plaintiffs Thursday but was hung up on by two and had not heard back from others at press time. A lawyer connected to the suit also declined comment this week. “I’m sorry, but our lawyer has said not to speak to the press,” said Julie Jmaeff, one of the plaintiffs. Shaila Khan, parent council chair at the current Christine Meikle School, was shocked to learn residents had gone to court to block a facility she and others believe

is greatly needed. “That’s insane,” she said Thursday, when informed of the lawsuit. The current school, located in Bridgeland, accommodated 75 special-needs students this past school year, but CBE officials said in June its design is outdated for the students it serves, many of whom are in wheelchairs. The hope had been to open the new school at 3525–50th St. NW no later than September 2016. JEREMY NOLAIS AND ROBSON FLETCHER/METRO

Suspect in trio’s disappearance appears in court

Police ask for help to find U of C groping suspect Calgary police are asking the public for help in tracking a man they say accosted a young woman at the University of Calgary on Wednesday. The incident occurred at about 6:45 p.m. on the east side of the university’s campus when an 18-year-old woman was approached by a man. “The stranger grabbed the victim’s wrists and shoulders, forcibly hugging her several times and refusing to loosen his grip,” police said in a release Thursday. The victim managed to break free and flee. The assailant is described as an Asian man, 22 to 25 years of age, standing five-foot-five to five-foot-six in height. At the time of the offence, he was wearing a bright green T-shirt and dark-coloured cargo shorts. METRO

Big drop in jaywalking after flaggers posted Downtown. Metro observes decline in law-breaking days after police targeted site of sidewalk closure ROBSON FLETCHER

Two days after police ticketed or warned 130 pedestrians for ignoring a downtown sidewalk closure, Metro observed just 18 scofflaws doing the same thing in roughly the

same period of time. The observation was made from 7:04 to 9:04 a.m. Thursday in the block of 5 Street SW just south of 7 Avenue, where the west sidewalk is closed due to the demolition of an adjacent building. Police targeted the area for a two-hour period Tuesday morning, handing out 90 tickets worth $115 each and issuing another 40 warnings, saying they simply couldn’t write tickets fast enough for all the people breaking the law. Signs were in place Tuesday directing pedestrians to use the east sidewalk.

After the police blitz, two flaggers were also posted at each end of the closed sidewalk to remind people not to walk along the road. The flaggers were paid for by the developer of the adjacent site but posted at the city’s request, Calgary transportation spokesperson Jessica Bell said Thursday. They will be on duty from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, she added. With words or a simple glance, the flaggers were seen actively discouraging dozens of pedestrians from jaywalking Thursday morning. A handful of people ig-

Gas Plus owner files to rebuild station on site of massive leak ‘Best site on the planet.’ Owner says homes in Bowness Road area protected from future issues Jeremy nolais

jeremy.nolais@metronews.ca

Cars could fuel up again at the site of a major 2010 leak as early as next year if the owner of a Calgary-based chain of gas stations has his way. Gas Plus owner Sal Handel confirmed Thursday he filed a development permit with the City of Calgary last month to rebuild and reopen for business on a plot his company owns at 6336 Bowness Rd. NW. It was that very site where 9,000 litres of fuel leaked into the soil four years ago, prompting at least

three homes along nearby Bow Crescent to be declared by a provincial health body as uninhabitable. Residents have feared that high levels of benzene in the soil could have long-term impacts on their health. The massive cleanup effort forced Handel to tear the station down and he said Thursday work is ongoing to fully remediate the site. “We are contained there,” he said, later adding, “We have the best site on the planet because we now have a sea-can wall (in the soil) surrounding the land, which will not allow anything to leave that property ever again.” Jamie Hanlon, a spokesperson for Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, said his department is now waiting on a related court matter to be sorted before remedi-

ation work can proceed. “It’s going to be our intent to start cleanup (in) this area as soon as possible,” Hanlon said. He cautioned that Handel is merely at the application stage and would still need approval from the City of Calgary before proceeding with a rebuild. He added that city officials confirmed with him Thursday that his department would have some input on Handel’s application. Word of Handel’s redevelopment plans, meanwhile, wasn’t exactly welcomed by area residents. “I’m a little apprehensive to have him (Handel) back in the neighbourhood because he is evidently not the most responsible steward,” said Carson Smith, who lives across the street from the former station site. with files from Ken Van De Walle/ for metro

Ex-Calgary teacher jailed in Indonesia turns to Harper

Neil Bantleman contributed/metro file

After 32 days behind bars in Indonesia, a former Calgary teacher has appealed directly to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to aid with his release. Neil Bantleman wrote his letter from the confines of his group holding cell in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta. He and a fellow staff member were arrested July 14 in connection with a sexualabuse investigation at the Jakarta International School,

where the two worked. Bantleman previously taught at Calgary’s Webber Academy for a decade. He — along with supporters, legal representatives and diplomats from a handful of nations — have said no evidence has been presented to suggest he’s guilty. On Thursday, Bantleman wrote directly to Harper, stating the ongoing investigation “has been marred by incompetence, the inability

to follow the rule of law or provide due process.” “The original detention was to be for a 24-hour period.... The lack of integrity, inability to follow legal procedures, and a denial of basic human rights by these investigators causes me grave concerns for our safety and that of our families in Jakarta. “I fear that justice cannot be carried out in this case without intensive international pressure. I hereby

formally request your immediate assistance with this matter, as it has reached a severely critical stage.” Supporters have said they fear “hysteria” is behind the accusations against Bantleman after a previous sexual abuse claim at the international school against outsourced cleaners who are alleged to have raped a sixyear-old student in a washroom earlier this year.

Help from Canada

Friends and former peers back in Canada have spearheaded a letter-writing campaign to Canadian embassy officials, and federal Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird did raise the matter during recent meetings with senior Indonesian government leaders.

Rally. Nigerian-Canadians in Calgary call for the return of kidnapped girls Members of Calgary’s Nigerian community rallied in support of 276 kidnapped Nigerian girls Thursday in front of city hall. “We are Nigerians in Calgary, concerned because they could be any of our daughters, any of our children,” said Temitope Esan, president of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organization’s Calgary chapter. Two months ago, Boko Haram extremists stormed a school in Borno state, kidnapping 276 Chibok girls. The group, whose name means “Western education is forbidden,” has caused destruction in northern Nigeria since launching their insurgency in 2009. More than 125 days have passed since the Islamist group kidnapped the girls. Dr. Duke Okoro, who has daughters of his own, said it

Redford’s ‘travel scout’ yet another added cost Then-premier Alison Redford arrives for meetings on Capitol Hill in Washington, April 10, 2013. Manuel Balce Ceneta/the associated press

Researching souvenirs, patios and steak and eggs. Former premier added globe-trotting position to aid her travel plans Alison Redford travelled the globe when she was Alberta’s premier — and so did her travel scout, forwarding photos of hotels and suites, sussing out suitable patios and restaurants and at least once advising on public toilets. Michelle Tetreault went to such locales as China, India, Switzerland, London and

Washington in the 20 months she held the position that International Relations Minister Cal Dallas said didn’t exist before Redford came to power. The Canadian Press obtained nearly 1,600 pages of Tetreault’s emails through the Freedom of Information Act. Although many portions were blanked out, the documents provide a glimpse into the mysterious job. Tetreault travelled to most locations months before the former premier, often flying business class. Government staff are allowed to fly business class on international trips longer than four hours as long as it is pre-approved. Tetreault travelled to China

in June 2012 before Redford’s trade mission the following September. She compiled photos, including one of a “traditional Chinese restaurant” and another location where Redford and her staff could have steak and eggs for breakfast because “the owner sells Alberta beef.” Tetreault also set out a list of China travel tips for staff: it’s customary not to place a purse or briefcase on the floor, and remember “public toilets are all crouch only.” She went to India at the end of 2013 in advance of Redford’s trade and networking mission last January. In tips Tetreault later sent to staff, some of it referenced

from travel books, she included advice on shopping for souvenirs, when women should wear head scarves and historical background on the Taj Mahal. Weather was also noted. In New Delhi, she reported, “mornings will likely consist of heavy fog until 9:30 a.m. A light jacket may be required.” Tetreault got the job shortly after Redford and the Progressive Conservatives won the 2012 election. A provincial directory lists her salary as $127,827 the following year. Documents released in June show Tetreault’s expenses totalled almost $330,000 from spring 2012 to January 2014. the canadian press

‘Waste’ is in the eye of the expense-account holder in defence of

Mike Morrison calgary@metronews.ca

What do you consider a waste of money? A tattoo? A fancy dinner? An architectural wonder? It really depends on who you ask, especially if they are city councillors. Last week, Ward 2 Coun. Joe Magliocca came under fire for curious charges on his expense report for the first half of 2014. In it were things like a $300 Nespresso machine and a handful of expensive lunches and dinners, most notably at Osteria De Medici, one of the city’s most expensive restaurants. The report was surprising to some because Magliocca’s campaign and tenure as a councillor have pretty much been all about not wasting taxpayer dollars. His election campaign site still states that he’ll “bring more transparency to the council table.” There

was no mention, though, that expensive espressos would be on said table. Sadly, Magliocca has quickly joined a long line of politicians who’ve made a career out of railing against things they deem a waste of taxpayer money — but are selfishly unable to apply the same rules to themselves. He, along with councillors Sean Chu and Ward Sutherland, have lashed out against investments in infrastructure, no matter how small, especially if it involves any sort of spending in Calgary’s inner city. Yet, Magliocca was willing to drop $400 on a lunch for five people on the city’s expense account, and $300 for a fancy espresso machine. He’s since offered to pay back the coffee machine expense ... once he returns from vacation. Of course, $400 barely makes a dent in the city’s enormous annual budget, but it’s the hypocrisy of it all that makes this worth paying attention to.

Magliocca’s expense report also raises lots of questions: why is the first-term councillor taking a Calgary Sun columnist out for lunch and charging taxpayers for it? Why is Joey Maggs (his nickname among friends) meeting with an executive from Shane Homes and charging taxpayers for it? In theory, councillors can do whatever they want, but why does Magliocca insist that we should pay for his lavish demands? Doesn’t that go against the key messaging on which he’s based his whole political career? You could dismiss them as rookie mistakes, but then you’d be ignoring the fact that Magliocca is a very successful businessman. Before becoming a councillor, he was a charter sales executive for Sky Service Business Aviation’s western region. You don’t think he knew that there were about 200 different types of coffee makers cheaper than the one he ended up buying? It’s that same arrogance

that caused former premier Allison Redford to make mistake after mistake. So, why are some politicians so bad at spending other people’s money? That’s exactly what I asked financial expert Gail Vaz-Oxlade (of shows like Til Debt Do Us Part, Princess and Money Moron). “No one on the public payroll should ever think of the money they are spending as anything other than the hardearned efforts of their constituents,” she said. “When the people you are representing are busting butt and sometimes just making do, spending even a dollar irresponsibly is a sign that you can’t be trusted because you are more important than them that put you there.” Less than a year into his term, it looks like Magliocca has bitten off more than he can chew.

Aggressive dogs. Three charged in two separate incidents in Calgary Three people face animalrelated charges after a pair of unrelated incidents in which one cat was killed and a woman and her dog were seriously injured. The cat was killed Tuesday night in an alley in Rosedale after being attacked by a pair of large dogs, according to Animal and Bylaw Services (ABS). “The dogs, a Husky and a Bouvier, had been running at large at the time of the incident,” said Abdul Rafih, acting manager of ABS north operations, in a release. “We later determined the owner of the dogs was out of town and had left the pets in the care of someone else.” That person was charged with two counts of having a dog at large and two counts of allowing an animal to cause death to another animal.

The ins and outs of guarding a marijuana grow-op Cameras are positioned around the exterior of the greenhouse alongside signs warning any would-be thieves that they’re being watched. Inside the facility will be a security guard that can man all the cameras.

Sensors on the greenhouse will also set off an alarm on Swiatek’s cellphone if someone successfully breaks inside. He lives in a detached home just metres away, allowing him to keep close watch over the property. “If there’s a problem, I’ll phone the police, just like you would,” he said.

The reinforced metal door on the front of the greenhouse is designed to prevent anyone from cutting or smashing it open. Swiatek said it’s not unlike those used by retail stores to protect merchandise.

They may look like some pricey design elements to spruce up his joint, but the rock Stan Swiatek is seen sitting on and those around it are actually in place to serve as impact barriers, preventing any vehicle from smashing into his site and stealing his marijuana. The planter box seen off to the right and others around his covered greenhouse serve the same purpose.

Stan Swiatek, with Sundial Growers, sits out front of the entrance to his Airdrie-area covered greenhouse, home to 30,000 square feet of growing space. He hopes to grow enough marijuana inside to meet the needs of 1,200 licensed users. Behind the buffered exterior of the site is a layered security system that Swiatek says would rival — possibly even exceed — that of any casino or bank.

Smile ...

There is a security guard stationed at the front entrance to the greenhouse and anyone entering or exiting must sign in and out. That guard is also tasked with monitoring dozens of cameras positioned inside and around the greenhouse’s exterior. Security equipment alone — cameras and monitoring devices — cost Swiatek $175,000.

Here we grow!

What’s the password?

Watch out, moles

If you made it here ...

Swiatek is seen in what is to become the main marijuana growing area. Soon, the spot will be segregated into six rooms to ensure better control over the product and reduce cross-contamination.

A quarter-inch steel-plated door is the last line of defence between Stan Swiatek and the marijuana that will be stored in his vault. “This is not Home Depot quality,” he said, while knocking on the hefty divide. The door alone cost $8,000 and the entire vault cost $160,000.

There is a space between the exterior wall and Swiatek’s weedstorage vault, allowing his team to walk around to ensure no one is attempting to tunnel inside. There are also seismic sensors that detect vibrations in the event that someone was trying to hammer their way inside.

Inside the vault, the marijuana will be stored in bags on shelves. “At this juncture, if they’ve made it this far, have at ‘er,” Swiatek says to potential drug thieves. All photos: Jeremy Nolais/metro

Sundial Growers. Neighbours say they fear operation will attract unsavoury ‘segment’ of population Jeremy nolais

jeremy.nolais@metronews.ca

Stealing from Stan Swiatek’s marijuana stash is probably a task best left to Tom Cruise. “It’s Mission Impossible, pretty much,” remarked the founder and president of Sundial Growers on the tail end of a 90-minute tour provided to Metro of his 30,000-squarefoot covered greenhouse, located just northwest of Airdrie. It’s on this land where he hopes to “set the stage” for what some believe will be a lucrative commercial marijuana market. Health Canada has moved away from personal, home-based grow-operations, but believes the need for medicinal marijuana will only bloom like a well-caredfor pot plant in the years to come. The federal agency has approved 13 sites to date, including Swiatek’s, to grow pot plants commercially. But Sundial has faced stiff pushback from neighbours and Rocky View county officials. Safety is a primary concern. “What’s to stop people

from all of the sudden showing up and breaking into my property because they think I’m the grower?” questioned Naomi Kerr, who can see Swiatek’s greenhouse from the horse arena on her adjacent property. “He has no perimeter fencing.… The problem is, it’s going to attract a segment of society, I think, that I’m really not thrilled about.” Sundial’s steadfast entrepreneur, however, said his customers won’t be venturing to his property, as his product will be entirely delivered by mail or courier. He’s also dumped hundreds of thousands into a “state-of-the-art” security system, which includes seismic sensors, safe rooms, an underground vault, electronic door locks, metal access doors and dozens of cameras that hang over marijuana handlers as if they were gamblers seated at casino blackjack tables. Swiatek said his motivation stems from fear of becoming another down-onhis-luck farmer. The Sundial site previously produced up to 10,000 cucumbers a week. But Swiatek believes there’s more money in marijuana and hopes criticism will subside in due time. He said the shift in mentality is similar to one in B.C., which used to be a land of orchards, not vineyards. “I could say you took away a nice, healthy peach and you replaced it with booze? You’re fuelling alcoholism,” he said, later adding: “I’m

Alberta’s long, cool winters are perfect for growing pot, says Stan Swiatek, founder of Sundial Growers, which appears destined to enter the commercial marijuana industry.

The first round of students, six of them, came from Konrad’s welding and fabrication class at Bishop O’Byrne High School. Once they complete aptitude tests and hands-on training, each student will become a “probationary member” with the union and be able to bid on jobs in Fort McMurray,

Konrad said. He said the hope is that many will still consider upgrading their skills by enrolling at a post-secondary institution in the future. “Instead of taking out student loans and doing all that to pay for university, now they’re able to make money and pay for it themselves and not be burdened with that,” Konrad said. Thomas Breitwieser graduated in June from O’Byrne. He chose the boilermakers program because it’s different from the academic stream and is more hands-on. “I was thinking of going to university, but I’d have to put myself into debt to go,” he said. “I could just do this and get my journeyman’s ticket and if I don’t like it after that, I can always go to university. And then I always have something to fall back on.” The appeals of the program were similar for peer Andy Weir. “High school is stressful,” he said. “People order you to do work, and I like this because I get to work with my hands and I don’t have to sit in a classroom all day.” Jeremy Nolais & Jessica Patterson/ metro

Medical pot OK by B.C. in many forms Marijuana. B.C. Appeal Court rules medical pot can be used in oils, cookies and teas following constitution ruling British Columbia’s highest court is green-lighting medical marijuana in everything from oils and cookies to teas in a ruling that finds federal health laws limiting weed consumption to the dried variety is unconstitutional. The B.C. Appeal Court released its 2-1 decision on Thursday stating that medical marijuana access regulations infringe on the charter rights of people requiring other forms of cannabis to treat illnesses. The ruling upheld a decision by a lower court judge over the case of Owen Smith, a Victoria man who was charged in 2009 with possession for trafficking of THC — marijuana’s active compound — while working as head baker for the Cannabis Buyers Club of Canada. Smith challenged the law by arguing some patients want to consume their ma-

Dutch Santa sidekick to have makeover Amsterdam’s mayor and the organizers of a large children’s winter festival have unveiled plans to overhaul the image of “Black Pete” — the sidekick to the Dutch Santa Claus — after protests that the character exhibited racist elements. Mayor Eberhard van der Laan said Thursday that Pete’s appearance will be changed over several years from his current blackface to make him look like he has been merely covered with soot from going down chimneys to deliver presents. Black Pete has become the subject of protests in the Netherlands. Opponents say he is a caricature of an African slave carried over from colonial times — he is usually portrayed by white people wearing blackface makeup, bold red lipstick and frizzy Afro wigs. But a large majority of the Netherlands’ mostly white population says that Pete is a positive figure and denies any

His lawyer Kirk Tousaw, who also represents other medical marijuana-related litigants, said his client is pleased the court will allow patients to decide what mode of ingestion works best for their particular symptoms and conditions. “How many people out there really think that a critically and chronically ill member of their family shouldn’t be entitled to eat a medical marijuana cookie if that relieves their pain?” Tousaw said in an interview. “We’re talking about the right of patients to find some relief from their very serious symptoms and conditions.

Pam Evenhuis, spokesman for the Amsterdam committee that organizes the arrival of Santa Claus, or “Sinterklaas” in Dutch, says change is necessary to make sure the children’s festival is fun and not controversial. Details were still being debated. “The Pete photoshoot for 2014 isn’t ready yet,” he said. In the Dutch tradition, Sinterklaas arrives on a steamboat laden with gifts, accompanied by numerous Black Petes. More than 250,000 people attend the celebration in Amsterdam alone. Although Amsterdam is influential, other towns, businesses and individuals across the country may not want to change his look, the mayor added.

Williams was in early stages of Parkinson’s, his wife says Incurable disease. ‘Robin’s sobriety was intact, and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles,’ said his wife, Susan Schneider Robin Williams was in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease at the time of his death, his wife said Thursday. In a statement, Susan Schneider said that Williams, 63, was struggling with depression, anxiety and the Parkinson’s diagnosis when he died Monday in his Northern California home. Authorities said he committed suicide. “Robin’s sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of Parkinson’s disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly,” Schneider said. The Marin County Sheriff’s Department, which said Williams hanged himself, is conducting toxicology tests and interviews before issuing a final ruling. Lt. Keith Boyd of the Marin County Sheriff’s Department did not return phone calls and email messages from The Associated Press seeking

comment on Schneider’s statement. Williams’ death shocked fans and friends alike, despite his candour about decades of struggle with substance abuse and mental health. With Parkinson’s, Williams faced shouldering yet another challenge. Parkinson’s disease is an incurable nervous system disorder that involves a loss of brain cells controlling movement. Tremors, sometimes starting out in just one hand, are among the early symptoms. It can also cause rigid, halting walking, slowed speech and sometimes dementia. Symptoms worsen over time and can often be treated with drugs. Actor Michael J. Fox, who has long had the disease and is known for his efforts to fund research into it, tweeted that he was stunned to learn Williams had early symptoms. Parkinson’s affects about 1 million people across the U.S., 6 million globally. The cause isn’t known but genes are thought to play a role. Schneider said that those who loved Williams are taking solace in the outpouring of affection and admiration for him. The Associated Press

Sexual assault in the military StatsCan survey. Study reveals 1 in 13 women in the Canadian Forces has experienced some sort of sexual assault jessica smith cross

Out of 8,900 full-time female CF members (in 2013), 1,400 are estimated to have been sexually assaulted or sexually touched against their will while on base, on an operation or by military or non-military DND personnel, according to the survey.

Out of 55,500 full-time male CF members (in 2013), 500 are estimated to have been sexually assaulted or sexually touched against their will while on base, on an operation or by military or non-military DND personnel, according to the survey.

The average annual number of sexual assault complaints since 2000, from full-time and reserve members, to the military police, according to a Maclean’s/ L’actualité investigation

Metro in Toronto

One in 13 female full-time members of the Canadian Forces has been sexually assaulted during military service, Statistics Canada has found. The statistics agency surveyed 6,700 full-time regular members of the Forces, with a proportional percentage of women and men to the military enrolment figures, from April to August 2013. Of the women surveyed, 7.6 per cent said they had been sexually assaulted “while either deployed on Canadian Forces operation, at a Canadian Forces Workplace or by a Canadian Forces member or civilian Department of National Defence employee.” The figure jumped to 15.6 per cent when including women who reported they’d been touched sexually against their will — also in

the course of their service in the military. Respondents were instructed that “sexual assault” was defined for the survey as “someone forcing you or attempting to force you into any unwanted sexual activity, by threatening you, holding you down or hurting you in some way.” The other category, “unwanted sexual touching,” was defined as “unwanted touching or grabbing, kissing or fondling.” Of the men surveyed, about 0.2 per cent said they’d been sexually assaulted in connection with their work in the military. However, Statistics Canada cautions that that number is low enough to be at risk of sampling error. When including the number of men who said they’d experienced unwanted sexual touching, the number rises to 0.8 per cent — which

University of Ottawa PhD candidate Ashley Bickerton is studying military sexual assaults. Bickerton said the sexual trauma data was welcome, but criticized the definition of sexual assault used in the survey because most people — and the law — consider “unwanted touching or grabbing, kissing or fondling” to be sexual assault. According to Statistics Canada, that definition was used because it was consistent with surveys done in the past and would produce comparable results. Retired justice Marie Deschamps is conducting an external review into sexual assault policy and procedures, training and culture in the Canadian Forces. The results of that review are expected next spring. It was launched after a Maclean’s/ L’actualité investigation that included multiple interviews

would translate to about 500 of the forces’ 55,500 male soldiers. That number is statistically valid, according to the statistics agency. The Canadian Forces Mental Health Survey 2013 was conducted by Statistics Canada in conjunction with the Department of National Defence. It surveyed currently serving members only, and would not have included anyone who was sexually assaulted and left the military before the survey was conducted. The survey covered many aspects of mental health and trauma. Some results concerning mental health and alcohol use were publicly released this week. A section on military sexual trauma was also included in the questionnaire. Metro requested and received a breakdown of the sexual trauma results.

Response

Sexual assault was investigated and tried by civilian police and courts until 1998, and some would like to see it back in the civilian system. • “Civilian police are able to investigate regardless of the rank that applies,” said Michel Drapeau, a former Canadian Forces member who is now a lawyer who represents soldiers who’ve been sexually assaulted. Drapeau is critical of the ongoing external review, because it excludes any review of the military police and justice system. • “With somebody like Russell Williams on the base, military police may be very intimidated to knock on the door of a colonel. And a victim may be very intimated to report to the police or the prosecutor an action by a senior officer.”

The Department of National Defence made psychiatrist and mental health adviser to the Canadian Forces command Col. Rakesh Jetly available for an interview with Metro. Rakesh said statistics were gathered as part of a large survey on mental health meant to help the military better understand the “burden and the impact of mental illness” and trauma for its members. DND has not yet analyzed the sexual trauma data and had not yet seen it until asked about it by Metro. Some analysis of the data will be presented in November, he said. “We’ve asked about different kinds of trauma, sexual trauma is one type of trauma — because we want to see, first of all, how often does it occur and we want to see its relationship to the illnesses,” he said. “As a senior officer in the Canadian Forces, it’s concerning to see numbers — it almost doesn’t matter what the numbers are — it’s disturbing … that sexual trauma within our workplace does occur.” Rakesh couldn’t speculate on why the numbers are as high as they are, what they say about the military’s culture, the use of military over civilian police to investigate, or whether new female recruits would be informed of the new statistics.

Ex-Tory staffer Sona found guilty of fraud; judge feels he ‘likely’ had help in robocalls Robocalls scandal. Michael Sona’s ‘apparent arrogance and selfimportance’ were his downfall, judge says Michael Sona fell victim to his own “apparent arrogance and self-importance,” a judge said Thursday as he convicted the former Conservative staffer of using automated phone calls to misdirect voters in the 2011 federal election. But in passing judgment, Superior Court Justice Gary Hearn added his voice to a growing chorus of those who believe the so-called robocalls affair was not the work of a single rogue operator acting alone. Sona, 25, the only one ever to be charged in the case, hung his head in the Guelph, Ont., courtroom. The judge rejected the inconsistent and “largely selfserving” testimony of the

Misleading voters

By now, the saga of the Guelph robocalls is well known. On the morning of May 2, 2011, automated phone calls were set up to target voters in Guelph — most of them Liberal supporters — with misleading instructions on where to vote. • The company that made the calls, Edmontonbased tech firm RackNine, was hired by a customer who used fake names, including the infamous “Pierre Poutine,” a disposable pay-as-you-go cellphone and prepaid credit cards.

long pervaded the robocalls narrative. “Although the evidence indicates he did not likely act alone, (Sona) was a party to the offence,” he said. “I’m also fully

satisfied that he did so with clear intention to prevent and endeavour to prevent the electorate from voting.” “The balance of the evidence which I do accept is sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Sona is guilty,” Hearn said. Sona’s “apparent arrogance and selfimportance” were his downfall, he added. Sona, who faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine, returns to court for a sentencing hearing on Oct. 17, at which point “we’ll be making very forceful submissions on sentencing,” said Crown attorney Croft Michaelson — a warning, perhaps, to political operatives of all stripes watching in Ottawa. Conservative party spokesman Cory Hann was quick to react to the verdict, issuing a statement within minutes of the decision. “As we’ve said all along, the Conservative party ran a clean and ethical campaign,” he said.

Subtle dissent in Gaza

Liberia. Which patients get untested Ebola drug? Liberian officials faced a difficult choice Thursday: deciding which handful of Ebola patients will receive an experimental drug that could prove life-saving, ineffective or even harmful. ZMapp, the untested Ebola drug, arrived in the West African country late Wednesday. A day later, no one had yet received the treatment, which officials said would go to three people. With more than 1,060 deaths and 1,975 sickened, the Ebola outbreak is already the deadliest ever. And the World Health Organization said Thursday that there is evidence those figures may “vastly underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak.” The UN health agency said it was prepared for the crisis to continue for months. The outbreak has overwhelmed the already strained health systems in West Africa and raised questions about whether authorities are doing enough to respond. New Jersey

There is no licensed treatment for Ebola, a virus transmitted by contact with bodily fluids, so doctors have turned to the limited supply of untested drugs to treat some cases. The Liberian government had previously said two doctors would receive ZMapp, but it was unclear who else would. Information Minister Lewis Brown said Thursday it would probably be another healthcare worker. These are the last known doses of ZMapp left. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

says: “There is only one God. It is Allah. And the Prophet Muhammad is his messenger.” Dunaway said the Twitter comments were the first time he had ever heard complaints about the flag. He said his flag has nothing to do with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group, which has adopted the banner as it fights in Iraq. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The group of neighbours surveyed the destruction wreaked on their residential complex by Israeli bombardment, with building after building flattened or punctured by shells. The men then began to voice something almost never heard out loud in Gaza: criticism of its Hamas rulers. Exhausted by a month of pounding by Israel’s military — on top of seven years of stifling closure of the tiny Mediterranean coastal strip — they questioned Hamas’s handling of the crisis and the wisdom of repeatedly going to war with Israel. “We do not want to be bombarded every two or three years. We want to lead a good life: Sleep well, drink well and eat well,” said Ziad Rizk, a 37-year-old father of two, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. It is impossible to say how widespread such discontent is among Gaza’s 1.8 million residents. Under Hamas rule, it’s rare and dangerous to share even as much as a hint of criticism of the government with outsiders. Still, the men’s boldness in voicing their opinions could be a telling sign that some Gazans see Hamas as weakened. It points to how desperate many Gazans have become after the most ruinous of three bouts of major Hamas-Israel violence

since the militant group overran the territory in 2007. More than 1,900 Palestinians have been killed, mostly civilians, nearly 10,000 wounded and some 250,000 displaced since fighting started July 8. Hamas has ruled with an iron fist since it took over Gaza, expelling the Western-backed Palestinian Authority. It does

not tolerate dissent, detains critics and carries out extrajudicial executions of alleged spies for Israel. It is particularly intolerant of any criticism of its handling of the conflict with Israel. It seeks to block unauthorized media coverage of its military wing. The men who spoke with The Associated Press were all friends and neighbours who live in the Abraj al-Nada, or AlNada Towers, a collection of apartment buildings that was hit hard by Israeli airstrikes and tank shelling on July 17 in the Gaza district of Beit Lahiya. Their grumbling is in part born from Gaza’s increasing

economic hardship. Unemployment runs at around 50 per cent. The Hamas government owes workers several months’ back pay. The seven-year blockade by Israel and Egypt has choked businesses and jobs. “We have put up with a great deal. They take us to war, fire rockets on Israel from outside our homes and invite destruction to our homes. Fine, but now what?” said a teacher in his late 20s, who did not want to be named for fear of retaliation. “Does anyone in the government know what happened to us? Shouldn’t they come offer us help?” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

There may be itsy-bitsy aliens among us. Scientists say seven microscopic particles collected by NASA’s comet-chasing spacecraft, Stardust, appear to have originated outside our solar system. If confirmed, this would be the world’s first sampling of contemporary interstellar dust. “They are very precious particles,” the team leader, physicist Andrew Westphal of the University of California, Berkeley, said Thursday. The dust collectors were exposed to what is believed to be the interstellar dust stream in the early 2000s and returned to Earth in 2006. Since then, dozens of scientists worldwide led by Westphal have examined scans of the collection panels to zero in on the particles. The team was assisted by 30,000 cit-

Roughly half the dustcollection panels have yet to be scanned. The physicist expects to find no more than a dozen interstellar dust specks in all, however — a tiny fraction of the amount of comet matter gathered by Stardust. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Humans main cause of melting glaciers: Study Warming. Research is the first to calculate just how much of the glacial melting can be attributed to people More than two-thirds of the recent rapid melting of the world’s glaciers can be blamed on humans, a new study finds. Scientists looking at glacier melt since 1851 didn’t see a human fingerprint until about the middle of the 20th century. Even then only one-quarter of the warming wasn’t from natural causes. But since 1991, about 69 per cent of the rapidly increasing melt was man-made, said Ben Marzeion, a climate scientist at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. Scientists fault global warming from the burning of coal, oil and gas, as well as changes in land use near glaciers and soot pollution. Glaciers in Alaska and the Alps in general have more human-caused melting than the global average, Marzeion said. “The jump from about a quarter to roughly 70 per cent of total glacier mass loss is significant and concerning,” said University of Alaska Fairbanks geophysicist Regine Hock. Hock wasn’t part of the study, published Thursday in the journal Science.

Shrinking rapidly

“Glaciers are really shrinking rapidly now. I think it’s fair to say most of it is man-made.” Ben Marzeion, a climate scientist at the University of Innsbruck in Austria.

Over the past two decades, about 270 billion tonnes of ice is melting each year on average due to human causes and about 120 million tonnes a year are melting because of natural causes, Marzeion calculated. Scientists aren’t quite cer-

warming from the burning of fossil fuels, but climate change is the biggest factor, said Ted Scambos, a scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The study showed that it took time for global warming and other factors to build up and cause melting. That lag effect means the world is already locked into more rapid melting from the warming that has already occurred, Marzeion and Alley said.

Pentagon program

City streets not for ‘tanks and M16s’

A Democratic congressman plans to introduce a bill to restrict a Defence Department program that provides machine-guns and other surplus military equipment for free to local law enforcement agencies across the U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson said the legislation is in response to the death of an unarmed teenager who was shot by a police officer in a St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo. The bill comes as members of Congress have called for the Justice Department to investigate the shooting. Johnson said city streets should be a place for businesses and families, “not tanks and M16s.” He said a Pentagon program that transfers surplus military equipment to state and local law enforcement has led to police agencies resembling paramilitary forces.

Police used tear gas and smoke bombs to repel crowds who threw Molotov cocktails during another violent night on the streets of a St. Louis suburb in the wake of the fatal shooting Saturday of unarmed 18-year old Michael Brown. Hours earlier, the police chief had said race relations were the top priority in the town, where a white police officer fatally shot the black teen. Authorities have vowed to reach across the racial, economic and generational divide in a community in search of answers. In the streets of Ferguson,

Man dies after shooting outside concert for peace

Worker put toxic chemical in tea: Attorney

Authorities say a man was shot and killed outside a Philadelphia concert being held to promote peace and stem violence in the city. Police said the gunfire happened at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday outside the Dell Music Center in the city’s Fairmount Park. Officials said the 20-yearold man was arriving at the ``Philly Support Philly: Peace on the Streets’’ concert when he got into an argument with someone in the parking lot. Police said the shooter opened fire, striking the victim twice. He was rushed to Temple University Hospital, where authorities said he was pronounced dead at about 2:15 a.m. Thursday. No arrests have been made. Police say they are checking surveillance video. The concert featuring rap music was attended by about 600 people. No other injuries were reported.

An attorney for a 67-yearold woman who drank sweet tea laced with an industrial cleaning chemical at a Utah restaurant says it was mixed into the tea by an employee who mistook it for sugar. Lawyer Paxton Guymon says the restaurant manager told Jan Harding’s family that the worker accidentally put large quantities of a product containing lye into the iced tea dispenser Sunday at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in South Jordan. The chemical, used to degrease deep fryers, is highly toxic. Harding is in critical condition at a Salt Lake City hospital’s burn unit. South Jordan Police Cpl. Sam Winkler says incident appears to be accidental. The owner of the Dickey’s Barbecue franchise says he’s praying for Harding and co-operating with investigators.

Khin Maung Win/the associated press

Divers attached to safety ropes plunged into waters south of Myanmar’s old capital, Yangon, as part of renewed efforts to retrieve a bronze bell that has been lying for centuries at the confluence of three rivers. The 270-ton bell, believed one of the largest ever cast, was made on the order of King Dhammazedi in 1476 and donated to Shwedagon pagoda. In the early 1600s, it was stolen by Portuguese despot Philip de Brito, but his rickety vessel sank where the Yangon and Bago rivers meet

the Pazundaung creek. Private and foreign groups have for years tried to retrieve the historic treasure, believed to be buried deep beneath heavy silt. They have been deterred in part by murky waters and torrential currents. The salvage team consists of about 70 people, including 10 divers from the country’s Myeik archipelago, famous for their ability to dive without external breathing equipment. The project will last up to 45 days and cost up to $200,000. The Associated Press

Doublespeak? Orwell literary estate latest to take Amazon.com to task The literary executor of George Orwell’s estate is accusing Amazon.com of committing an Orwellian crime: doublespeak. In a letter published this week in The New York Times, Bill Hamilton criticized the online retailer for “turning the facts inside out” by alleging that the British author known for the novels 1984 and Animal Farm had urged publishers in the 1930s to join together and stop the rise of paperbacks.

“I’m both appalled and wryly amused that Amazon’s tactics should come straight out of Orwell’s own nightmare dystopia, 1984,” Hamilton wrote. Amazon and Hachette Book Group have been locked in a nasty standoff over terms for e-book sales, with Amazon removing pre-order buttons, reducing discounts and slowing deliveries for many Hachette releases.

Anonymous patient data is aggregated and analyzed for new insight into Parkinson’s disease. intel

The statement added that by collecting and analyzing data from thousands of individuals, such as slowness of movement, tremor and sleep quality, researchers can get a better picture of the progression of the disease. The research will use wearables that “can unobtrusively gather and transmit objective, experiential data in real time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” according to the statement. “Nearly 200 years after Parkinson’s disease was first described by Dr. James Parkinson in 1817, we are still subjectively measuring

Parkinson’s disease largely the same way doctors did then,” said Todd Sherer, the foundation’s chief executive. “Data science and wearable computing hold the potential to transform our ability to capture and objectively measure patients’ actual experience of disease, with unprecedented implications for Parkinson’s drug development, diagnosis and treatment.” Robin Williams’ wife recently said that her husband was battling with the early stages of Parkinson’s at the time of his suicide.

U.S. computing giant Intel recently announced it was joining an effort to battle Parkinson’s disease with new big data and wearable technologies to improve research and treatment. Intel said it would work with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research — created by the Back to the Future Canadian-American actor — on the effort to fight the neurodegenerative brain disease second only to Alzheimer’s in worldwide prevalence. The research will use “a new big data analytics platform that detects patterns in participant data collected from wearable technologies used to monitor symptoms,” an Intel statement said. “This effort is an important step in enabling researchers and physicians to measure progression of the disease and to speed progress toward breakthroughs in drug development.”

Ebola. First human tests of vaccines developed by U.S., Canada could start this fall Scientists are racing to begin the first human safety tests of two experimental Ebola vaccines, but it won’t be easy to prove that the shots and other potential treatments in the pipeline really work. There are no proven drugs or vaccines for Ebola, a disease so rare that it’s been hard to attract investments in countermeasures. But the current outbreak in West Africa — the largest in history — is fuelling

new efforts to speed Ebola vaccine and drug development. The handful in the pipeline have largely been funded by government, including the two vaccine candidates that are closest to human study: one developed by the U.S. government that is gearing up for early-stage tests in healthy volunteers this fall, with a second developed by the Canadian government thought to be not far behind.

NOTICE OF HEARING FOR INITIAL CUSTODY ORDER AND TEMPORARY GUARDIANSHIP ORDER TO: CLARISSA STEPHENS

metronews.ca WEEKEND, August 15-17, 2014

Raw-milk crusader vows to keep fighting Michael Schmidt. While top court will not hear his appeal, the Ontario farmer says he’s not giving up The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear an appeal from an Ontario farmer who has long championed the right to sell and drink unpasteurized milk, but he says “it’s not the end of the road.” The top court’s refusal to hear Michael Schmidt’s case — as is usual it did not provide reasons — means his 2011 convictions of 13 charges under the Health Protection and Promotion Act and the Milk Act that saw him fined $9,150 stand. He will, however, continue his crusade to provide people who wish to buy raw milk with the unpasteurized product. The Ontario government maintains the unprocessed milk poses a significant risk to public health, but Schmidt insists there’s no evidence anyone has ever fallen ill from his milk, and he and his supporters argue raw milk offers health benefits. “I don’t think it’s the end of the road at all,” he said from his farm in Durham, Ont., south of Owen Sound. “I think it was a ruling on

by their own cows. Earlier court decisions have found that Schmidt’s method of allowing consumers to buy an ownership interest in a dairy cow was little more than a way to circumvent the rules. Schmidt has since changed the structure of

his business, getting his approximately 150 customers to buy part ownership in the farm, rather than just the cows. The government has — so far — not prosecuted him in regards to his new operation, he said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

• The woman in the shot, Greta Zimmer, did not know the sailor who kissed her and has said of the moment: “That man was very strong. I wasn’t kissing him. He was kissing me.” • Some people view the photo as a very public documentation of a sexual assault, and not something to be celebrated.

Rs the last two Expendables enjoyed, but removing most of the over-the-top violence leaves an absence of the over-the-top fun of the originals. Why arm Stallone and Company up the wazoo and then skimp on the fake blood and faux carnage?

Richard: Mark, more people die in the first five minutes of this movie than in any other two war movies combined. There is death by bullet, bazooka and bomb. It’s a wild but oddly bloodless beginning to the movie. Perhaps it’s because they have scaled back the rating to PG13 from the hard

I thought that most of the performances weren’t so much performances as they were action-star posturing.

Radcliffe’s reboot is working out well The F Word. When you’ve grown up as Harry Potter, you’re bound to be itching to stretch your acting chops in other roles richard crouse

scene@metronews.ca

There are things about Daniel Radcliffe that you probably already know. Thanks to the Harry Potter series he’s one of the most recognizable actors on earth. He is 5’5” tall, a published poet and is the youngest person, other than royalty, to be honoured with a portrait in the National Portrait Gallery. Here’s what you don’t know. He’s also remarkably reliable. In 10 years of shooting the Potter pictures, he only missed two days — and he’s polite. For this interview he turned up early (when was the last time an international superstar

was on time?) and greets your reporter with a hearty, “What a lovely surprise.” He offers to help with my crossword — “I’m one of those people in life who probably really annoys serious crossword doers. I’m one of those people who comes up behind and goes, ‘That one you’re about to get? I’ve got it’” — and apologizes when he almost lets a curse slip. He is not your typical superstar and his new romance, The F Word, is not a typical romcom. The 25-year-old actor says the story of a young man hopelessly in love with his best friend (Zoe Kazan) “has things a lot of films want, that combination of being sarcastic and quick and funny without being negative or cynical.” “Zoe says a great thing,” he says of co-star Kazan. “She talks about how in most romantic comedies the people meet and then there’s a getting-to-know-you montage, then they do whatever they’re going to do for the rest of the film. Our movie is basically

that montage expanded to feature length, and that is what is so joyous about it. Those moments when you are getting

to know someone and flirting with them, making them laugh, are so intimate and so exciting and so charged that as

an audience it is wonderful to be allowed in to watch that and live through it again.” Playing the lovesick roman-

tic lead is something different for Radcliffe, who says he wants “to try my hand at as many things as possible.” Since the final Potter film in 2011, he has appeared in everything from the beatnik drama Kill Your Darlings to the fantasy film Horns and will soon be seen as Igor in a new version of Frankenstein. “Having played one character for a very long time,” he says, “that builds up in you a desire to play a number of different characters and do as much different work as you can. I want to show as many different sides of my ability as I can. Also I like that you can’t predict what my next thing is going to be.” Unpredictable, yes, but still polite.

Moretz seeks and channels strength in all her characters If I Stay. Star of Carrie and Kick Ass tackles a role that prompts big questions about life, death and happiness richard crouse

scene@metronews.ca

Seventeen-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz has played a young vampire in Let Me In, a would-be superhero in Kick Ass and cinema’s most famous telekinetic, Carrie. It’s a diverse group of roles, but Moretz says she can draw a straight line from character to character. “They’re linear,” she says, “in the sense that they’re all strong characters. A lot of them are like me, the basis of them. They all have a big mountain in

front of them but they are going to climb it and fight as hard as they can. The weakest character, but also the strongest character, I’ve played is Carrie. She is two different characters in one, so diverse and so dark. There is so much to learn from her.” In her new film If I Stay, she plays Mia, a gifted teenage cellist from a family of musicians. When a catastrophic accident throws her into a coma, she has an outof-body experience. The rest of the story is told from the perspective of her memories before the accident and in the present, as she observes, ghostlike, the aftermath of the car crash. The character appealed to her because she saw some of herself in Mia. “She’s an introvert until she plays the cello and the cello brings her alive. It’s how I am. I’m pretty shy, unless I’m speaking

about my job. I’m really shy around teenagers my age. Sometimes it’s because they judge me and it kind of scares me. Crowds scare me, teenagers scare me, new people. I get really quiet and awkward.” With that insight, she hoped to make Mia true to the character created by author Gayle Forman in the bestselling book that inspired the movie.

“My biggest thing was making her honest to the book,” she says. “I have been a fan of book series, and then I’ll see the movie and think, ‘That was such a let-down.’ I hate that feeling because for me, I want to be able to be a fan of my own work.” The movie is a tear jerker, but Moretz says she doesn’t like it “when people chalk up a movie to being all about crying. I like to walk out of a movie feeling like I have learned something, that something’s changed.” After seeing If I Stay, she hopes audiences “leave feeling they felt something. It is a really beautiful movie about life and death and happiness and sadness and music. “It is a beautiful story — a moment in time that doesn’t really have any boundaries.”

FUNNY, CHARMING, SHARP AND SWEET.

The haunting story of The Giver centres on Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), a young man who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colourless, world of conformity and contentment. Yet as he begins to spend time with The Giver (Jeff Bridges), who is the sole keeper of all the community’s memories, Jonas quickly begins to discover the dark and deadly truths of his community’s secret past.

It’s the ultimate buddy cop movie except for one thing: They’re not cops. When two struggling pals dress as police officers for a costume party, they become neighbourhood sensations. But when these newly minted “heroes” get tangled in a real-life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line.

Hercules, starring Dwayne Johnson, is based on Radical Comics’ Hercules by Steve Moore. This ensembleaction film is a revisionist take on the classic myth, Hercules. The epic action film also stars Golden Globe winner Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes, Peter Mullan and Academy Award-nominee John Hurt.

Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater’s Boyhood is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason’s parents, Boyhood charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before.

Shirinian takes the long view It Was You Charlie. Short filmmaker’s feature-length debut is a meditative tale of unrequited love and psychological misery chris alexander

scene@metronews.ca

It’s hard to love a character like Abner, the flawed protagonist in writer/director Emmanuel Shirinian’s feature debut It Was You Charlie. The Telefilm-funded picture stars Michael D. Cohen as the downtrodden Abner, a night-shift doorman who once had a rather beautiful life as a professor and artist but who now wallows in misery following an accident in which a girl was killed. Spiralling into depression, self-pity and endless suicidal thoughts, Abner is a miserable creature and yet, under Shirinian’s sure hand, we end

up caring very deeply about his strange, surreal plight and want nothing more than to see him climb out of his self-made quagmire. “He wasn’t based on anybody, really — he’s an outsider,” the award-winning short filmmaker Shirinian says of his magnetic main character. “He’s the black sheep of the story and there was something appealing to me about a guy that had it all, and yet lost everything when something destructive happened, leaving him unable to surface. There was something heartbreaking about that. People ask me what kind of film this is and I say it’s both an unrequited love story and an existential psychological thriller.” It Was You Charlie sees Shirinian adapting his craft for a larger canvas, with a denser narrative and obviously larger stakes, and commercial expectations figuring into his art for the first time. Still, the process remained the same. “I made a bunch of short films, true,” notes the director. “But this was no differ-

my own terms. Everything fell into place. This wasn’t about a paycheque for myself and my cast and crew, rather it was about passion and just doing whatever we could do to make my vision a reality.”

The beauty of the film is that Abner seems to drift in an uncanny environment, one that is like our own yet steeped in dream. With the benefit of Luc Montpellier’s (Take This Waltz, Away From Her) gor-

geous cinematography, we float with Abner in this uncomfortable, sometimes hostile, often beautiful ghost world, an honest attempt by its creator to sculpt a film that functions as an impression, rather than a clearly defined narrative movie. “It’s that between what is real and what is not that appeals to me. We didn’t want clear defined edges about the timeline, about what is present and what is flashback. It’s meditative almost and even a bit ambiguous. I like that about the film, very much.”

Mel Gibson. Reluctant villain had a ball putting his own touch on script

Bad can still bring big box office bucks IN FOCUS

Richard Crouse scene@metronews.ca

For the most part, The Expendables movies have been met with critical disdain. The New Yorker’s Anthony Lane christened the first film “breathtakingly sleazy in its lack of imagination,” while reviewer James Kendrick said the second instalment, was “a better concept than it is a movie.” Both films star a who’s who of 1980s action movie stars — Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, JeanClaude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger and more — and have exterminated the competition, collecting an average of $289.9 million at the worldwide box office. The new movie, inventively titled The Expendables 3, adds vintage action stars Wes-

ley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford to the mix and doubtless will add big bucks to the franchise’s overall gross, whether the critics embrace it or not. The Expendables movies appear to be bulletproof to critical missiles but they aren’t the first films to be lambasted by reviewers and then clean up at the box office.

Mel Gibson is the bad guy in Expendables 3, taking on Sylvester Stallone’s crew of aging action heroes, but that piece of info is news to Gibson. “I didn’t read it thinking I was the bad guy, you know? In fact, I didn’t know I was the bad guy until I saw it,” he insists. “I thought Dolph Lundgren was the bad guy, so it’s a surprise to me and I’m kind of shocked and a little offended. I wanted to be the love interest, but there was no one to love, really.” Joking aside, Gibson was eager to put his own spin on the character of Conrad Stonebanks, a former Expendable-turned-arms dealer with a Stallone-sized chip on his shoulder. “I kind of worked on the script a little bit

and I came in and hammered it out,” he says. “I handed out the pages to Sly and (director) Patrick (Hughes) and they looked at it and went, ‘Yeah, it’s cool.’ It was just a theme of somebody who was subcontracted by his government and then thrown under the bus — a real person.” While Gibson clearly had a ball with the Expendables franchise, he’s got other work on his mind, primarily directing. “I think the most fun you can have standing up is directing a film. It’s like my primary want. That’s my gift, I think, direction. I’m going to pursue that,” says Gibson, who won a directing Oscar for Braveheart in 1996. ned ehrbar/mwn

Duran Duran hit stage, studio and screen DD Unstaged. Film by David Lynch enhances footage from the band’s livestream performance in 2011 Nick Rhodes is on the phone to talk about Duran Duran’s concert film collaboration with director David Lynch that’s slated for a one-night-only theatrical engagement next month. As he talks of being inspired by Lynch’s The Elephant Man as a teenager, he can hear another one of his inspirations nearby: Nile Rodgers on guitar. “I can actually hear him playing the guitar just down the corridor from where I am right now,” Rhodes says gleefully. Next month will mark a period of high activity for Duran Duran. Along with work to finish a new album, the British rock band will appear at the Fashion Rocks concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., on

Concert revisited

“It literally was live live. It was one of those moments where we all looked at each other and said, ‘Good luck, let’s see what happens.’ ” Nick Rhodes, Duran Duran About the band’s 2011 livestreamed concert that is being released as a film on Sept. 10

From left, Duran Duran members John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Simon Le Bon.

Sept. 9 before releasing Duran Duran: Unstaged in more than 300 North American theatres on Sept. 10. The film is an enhanced version of Lynch’s original livestream presentation, with tweaks and enhancements to improve on the 2011 original. The American Express Un-

staged series pairs musicians with directors who design a one-off live show that even a band as seasoned as Duran Duran was nervous about. “It literally was live live,” Rhodes said. “It was one of those moments where we all looked at each other and said, ‘Good luck, let’s see what hap-

the associated press

pens.’ “It went out on the Internet just exactly as we played it, and, of course, there were some things that didn’t work quite as well as others, and footage that didn’t sync up in the most beautiful place that it could have done ... so it’s had a proper polish. It’s been refined

for cinema, and it looks beautiful, too. The print is fantastic.” When the group approached Lynch to oversee the initial livestream, he said he’d only consider it if it was “radically different” than the staid concert-film formula. Lynch chose to shoot the piece in black and white — like The Elephant Man, which Rhodes and John Taylor saw together in a Birmingham, England, theatre as teenagers — and created a series of images to run over the top of the band’s performance. “There was a room filled with smoke all the time,” Rhodes said. “There was another room where there were a lot of actors doing strange things. “Then he pre-prepared some other footage, which

varied between sort of hand puppets and airplanes and clocks and machinery, and this footage just sort of literally was superimposed over us playing ... and I think the results are really pretty unusual.” The band is shooting for less radically different results in the recording studio, where it has been cutting songs with Nile Rodgers, who co-produced the group’s 1986 album, Notorious. Mark Ronson and Hudson are also producing tracks. The album will be mixed next month, and Rhodes said it will be out in the first half of 2015. “I think we know where we want to be and it’s right in the centre of the dance floor,” Rhodes said. “That’s what we’re aiming for together.” the Associated Press

Play it Again, Dick. Bell back as Veronica Mars WITH THE METRO NEWS APP 2.0, THE NEWS OFTEN SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. So do movie features, sports highlights, celebrity gossip...

Kristen Bell, the star of the original Veronica Mars series, will be joined by all of the other primary cast members on Play It Again, Dick, the new online series coming to The CW’s website. This is shaping up to be a big year for Veronica Mars, which was cancelled in 2007 after three seasons. After making a momentous comeback via the silver screen in March, the series is now being resurrected by creator Rob Thomas through a new online spinoff.

Titled Play It Again, Dick, the series involves a selfreferential premise in which Ryan Hansen, the actor who played Dick Casablancas on the original show, attempts to ride the wave of Veronica Mars’ success by starring in his own spinoff. In keeping with this logic, Kristen Bell will appear as both Veronica Mars and as herself. Also playing themselves and their respective characters are Jason Dohring (Logan Echolls), Enrico Colantoni

Oh My Love/ Louise Gold

This British power/ speed metal band took on the Johnny Cash classic for their new album, Maximum Overload, which will be out Tuesday. It makes the Social Distortion version sound like a ballad.

Another cover, this time of a John and Yoko song. The sounds come from an audio representation of Venus’ elliptical orbit and the Sun, and Neil Armstrong’s heartbeat telemetry from Apollo 11.

This amusing movie tie-in wants you to keep Forrest Gump running, jumping, and hang-gliding across Alabama to reach the big football game. Beware of costly upgrades and annoying ads.

Gamma-Ray Bursts/ Sylvia Zhu Gamma-ray bursts are among the most powerful emissions in the universe. A University of Maryland student wondered if they could be turned into music. Yes, they can.

You are a god again. This follow-up to Peter Molyneux’s Populous has you sculpting the land and bestowing nature’s gifts to villagers in exchange for their prayers. It’s your job to protect them from hooligan tribes and giants while upgrading their civilization through the ages. I like the puzzle voyages you can send them on and the light touches of comedy and music, but there are few dramatic choices and so I suspect your village will be no different from mine. You can be a god, but a very predictable one. Kris Abel

Trainor gives the skinny on Bass song Booty beauty. Singer ecstatic that young girls have gravitated to her pop hit about body image and acceptance Not everyone was initially All About That Bass. Meghan Trainor, the 20-year-old who is having a pop-culture moment with the song about body acceptance, said she initially wrote the track and pitched it to other artists, but was turned away. “Labels were like, ‘We love it, but you have to reproduce it. You got to get it more synth-y, pop-y,’” said Trainor, who worked with producer Kevin Kadish on Bass. “We looked at each other like, ‘Man, I thought this was a hit, but I guess not.’” Things changed when record executive L.A. Reid heard the doo-wop pop song and told Trainor she should be the voice behind it. He signed the budding songwriter to Epic Records after hearing her sing Bass

Bass features such standout lines as “it’s pretty clear, I ain’t no Size 2,” “I’m bringing booty back,” and “yeah, my momma, she told me don’t worry about your size.” Trainor said Grammynominated Kadish, who has worked with Jason Mraz, had the song title but didn’t know where to go from there. “I immediately thought, ‘Booty. Bass. Thickness,’” she said. Trainor, who grew up in Nantucket, Mass., recently moved to Nashville, Tenn. She was signed to a publishing house in Music City, and wrote songs for Rascal Flatts and others. Now, she’s working on an EP and album to capitalize on the breakthrough that Bass

Did you read that one?’ because some girls are like, ‘I’ve hated myself. I hated life. I didn’t want to go to school. I get bullied. And then I heard your song and I cried,’” she said. “They say they cried because they’re happy and they dance around the room. And I was just like, ‘What?’ It’s crazy.” Bass has given Trainor a boost as well. “I wish there was a song like this when I was 13,” she said, adding she’s not always confident. “It’s all mostly in my head,” she explained. “I would sit there in class like, ‘I know they are judging me right now. I know they’re picking on me.’ ... So it helped me a lot, watching this video and seeing the comments that were positive. It’s helped me go up a little bit.” The Associated Press

Gwyneth Paltrow

Paltrow in tune with Glee creator So Gwyneth Paltrow was serious about all that conscious uncoupling stuff after all. She’s reportedly dating Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk, according to Star magazine. The two spent some quality time together at a resort in Utah in late July. Because nothing says romance like Utah. In late July. “I saw Gwyneth and Brad one afternoon sitting in the dining room,” a fellow vacationer tells the tabloid. “She had her hair down and wasn’t wearing any makeup. They were chatting and smiling and looked totally at ease.” I’m sure there’s a new Goop post coming about how an $8,000-a-night private villa at a resort in Utah is a great place for a little “me time.”

Tornado Miley hits NY hotel, tells manager to thank her Ned Ehrbar

Metro in Hollywood

Miley Cyrus and company are the last thing you want staying at your hotel, the folks at NYC’s fancyschmancy Greenwich Hotel learned recently when her entourage checked in. “It was like a tornado hit the lobby. Miley and her posse took over, screaming

and carrying on so much that management received a number of complaints,” a source tells Life & Style. “Someone in the group was smoking pot, and they were swearing loudly and throwing themselves all over the expensive furniture.” I hear another guest, possibly a Vanderbilt, was treated for a sprained wrist after too much pearlclutching. Hotel management tried to give Miley a talking to, but she was having none of it, responding that “she’s spent so much money there that they should be glad to have her,” the source says. Well, she just sounds like a peach.

RICARDO COOKS Chef Ricardo Ricardo Magazine

Dining outdoors is hands down one of the best things about summer. Few things are more enjoyable than lazily lingering in the shade of a tree with great food and even better company. The cherry on top? A decadent dessert, of course. These Pecan Pie Squares are sure to satisfy a sweet tooth — including mine!

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan with parchment paper, letting it hang over

onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring the syrup, cream and pecans to a boil with the remaining butter and sugar and stir. Simmer for 2 minutes. Pour over the warm crust in the pan and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool.

4. Run a thin blade around

the edge of the pie and let cool completely. Remove from the pan and cut into 36 squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze.

Match made in Chianti LIQUID ASSETS

Peter Rockwell @therealwineguy liquidassets@eastlink.ca

My brief mention of Chianti last week inspired a flood of questions asking for more details. Chianti is an area in Tuscany between the cities of Sienna and Florence. Famous for rolling hills and statuesque cypress trees, it was one of the first Italian regions to export to Canada. That made its juice a household name. The fact its original bottles (called a fiasco) came wrapped in a straw basket made them the toast of the 1970s when all the groovy people, and their grandmothers, started drinking the stuff. It pumps out more red than white, and is home to the sangiovese grape. While the Classico sub-zone is where the oldest (and arguably best) vines grow, it’s one of eight areas that can slap Chianti on its labels. The Rúfina sub-zone is an undiscovered gem and Frescobaldi’s 2009 Nipozzano Chianti Riserva ($19.99 - $26.98) serves up the savoury finesse and lingering layers of cherry fruit that typify Rúfina wines. Cellar- worthy, it hits a home run with lasagna and pizza. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SOME PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ALL PROVINCES.

Calgary Secret Cinema

Bonterra Patio

Movie buff or not, take a chance on an evening in a starlit courtyard with the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers. There are two more events (Aug. 19 and Sept. 9) left where you’ll have the chance to be entertained by a member-chosen screening of a secret film and often (more surprises!) an unannounced local musical guest. Further selling features: The events are completely free and take place on Tuesdays ... and really, what else are you doing on a Tuesday? For more information, visit csif.org

This downtown Italian spot has been on Notable’s list for years, so plan to snag a table on one of the city’s best patios next time you’re heading out for a meal. The magical backyard garden is perfect for impressing a romantic interest, your visiting parents or a few clients, and so is the wine list. And unlike many outdoor spots, the food actually measures up, with a delicious menu of Italian classics and fresh features. We recommend the summer risotto and the Salmerino Alpino. Whatever you do, don’t skip the olives. For reservations, visit bonterra.ca

Glenbow Bee Exhibit

Pop-Up Picnic: Beach Party

It’s not often that The Glenbow features local artists — especially not when their subject matter is bees. We’re glad they’ve made an exception because this exhibit puts a fresh spin on going to the museum with colourful, provocative glassworks all created by a collective of ACAD grads called Bee Kingdom. Their exhibit runs until Sept. 28, but if you make it in before Aug. 24 you can also check out The Vaults at Glenbow, which will give you a glimpse into the evolution of glass art in Canada. For more information, visit glenbow.org

If you’ve ever complained that there isn’t enough going on downtown on your lunch break, here’s a remedy: pop-up picnics. Further complaints about Calgary might include its lack of beaches, but once again the Downtown Calgary Association has thought of everything. The next event is a beach party theme, which may or may not require a slight costume change in the office bathroom. Head over to 9th Ave. SW between noon and 1 p.m. on Aug. 27 to get in on the free event. For details, visit calgarydowntown.com

Beakerhead

X-Fest Grows Up

It can sometimes feel like every other YP you meet in Calgary is an engineer, and for those who aren’t, there can be a bit of a disconnect. Enter Beakerhead to save the day, intersecting science, art and good times over the course of four full days of events and activities. If you work downtown, you won’t be able to miss Four-to-Six on Sept. 10 where street experiments and performances will take over Stephen Avenue. Take the long way home via the East Village and climb into the world’s first self-supporting blow-up social structure. Visit beakerhead.org

In recent years, this signature summer event presented by X92.9 might have been left off this list. This year, organizers have taken a turn, encouraging festgoers to leave their skate shoes at home by bringing in Tegan and Sara, Foster the People, Serena Ryder and a long list of YP-friendly characters. Relive your early 2000s with Death Cab for Cutie and STARS and then discover your new favourite whistling tune, The Walker, with Fitz and The Tantrums. And if none of those bands means anything to you, fear not: There will be beer gardens. Visit festcalgary.com

Elite teams given a helping broom Curling. 12 rinks qualify for CCA’s National Team Program, which comes with funding for competitions, training

The Canadian Curling Association has unveiled the 12 rinks that will be part of the organization’s National Team Program for the 2014-15 season. The six men’s teams are skipped by Olympic champion Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Mike McEwen of Winnipeg, John Morris of Calgary, Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L., Kevin Koe of Calgary and Glenn Howard of Penetanguishene, Ont. The six women’s teams are skipped by Olympic champion Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, Rachel Homan of Ottawa, Stefanie Lawton of Saskatoon, Val Sweeting of Edmonton, Sherry Middaugh of Coldwater, Ont., and Heather Nedohin of Sherwood Park, Alta. The teams qualified for the National Team Program (NTP) based on their standings on the Order of Merit following last season. “The depth of curling talent in our country is amazing, and the international results continue to prove that,” CCA chief executive officer Greg Stremlaw said Thursday in a release. “We were the only country in the world to have no team finish outside of the top six in traditional four-player world and Olympic championship events last season, and the

‘Milos problem.’ Heavy serve narrowly carries Raonic past qualifier

Friends and family embrace outside Kevin Ward Jr.’s funeral service at South Lewis Central School in Turin, N.Y., Thursday. Ward, a dirt-track racer, was killed by NASCAR driver Tony Stewart during a race last weekend. TINA RUSSELL/OBSERVER-DISPATCH/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Family and friends grieve for young racer Kevin Ward Jr. Quoted Dirt-track racer killed on “He was an amazing sprint car driver and had a Saturday remembered like no other.” by close-knit community family Amanda Ward, cousin of Kevin Ward Jr. Kevin Ward Jr.’s friends, family and fellow racing enthusiasts overflowed a high school auditorium Thursday to grieve and share stories about the 20-yearold dirt-track racer whose car was hit by one driven by NASCAR champion Tony Stewart. With Ward lying in an open casket decorated with racing flags and piled with orange flowers, his family’s team colours, mourners shed tears and laughed at favourite stories about the boy who began racing when he was barely more than a toddler. The 90-minute service was held at the South

Lewis Senior High School auditorium to accommodate crowds of people from the close-knit central New York racing community. “Even if he had rough day, he always had a smile,” a tearful Dylan Swiernick said of his best friend and car-obsessed buddy. “We were just two small-town boys trying to make it in the big world. He was always working on something. It was unbelievable how smart he was.” Ward, a 2012 South Lewis graduate, was buried in his nearby hometown of Port Leyden, 88 kilometres from Syracuse. “We used to tell him before

every race, ‘Drive it like you stole it.’ He never let us down,” his cousin, Amanda Ward, said in a eulogy. His sister, Kayla Herring, said the orange and white lapel ribbons worn by family and friends were to signify that the team colours would remain bright, even in the darkest times. After the service, as Ward’s casket was taken to the hearse for the short trip to the cemetery, mourners let loose helium balloons in orange, white and black. Ward died Saturday night at a track 225 kilometres away in Canandaigua, where Stewart was riding a day before the

Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen. The accident touched off debates as a video of the crash circulated online, with fans questioning whether Stewart, known for his hot temper, tried to send his own message by buzzing Ward, or whether Ward recklessly stepped onto a dark track clad in black. Stewart was racing a day before the Sprint Cup event at Watkins Glen. After a bump from Stewart sent Ward’s winged car spinning into the wall, the young driver climbed out and walked onto the track, gesturing angrily. Stewart’s car seemed to fishtail, and Ward was thrown through the air as his parents and fans watched in horror. No charges have been filed, but Ontario County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Milos Raonic says he came to the court with a poor attitude, and it almost cost him. Fortunately for the fifth-seeded Canadian, his booming serve rescued him from a big upset. Raonic saved a win with his 30th ace in a tense 6-7 (7), 6-3, 7-6 (4) victory over American qualifier Steve Johnson on Thursday to advance to the quarter-finals of the Western & Southern Open tennis tournament. While his serve was potent, Raonic said his poor play made the contest “complicated.” Raonic had to win it all in a tiebreaker after striking three double-faults as he served for victory leading 5-4 in the final set. In the end, the 23-year-old won the last four points of the tiebreaker, capping the victory with another ace. “My attitude was not great when I was first serving for the match,” said Raonic. “It added up and made life a lot tougher, it put a lot of weight on my shoulders. I was playing too negatively. “Johnson was getting ahead a few times, but not by

any great distance. I just complicated things in a lot of moments. I certainly would have rather had that final ace at 5-4 in the third.” Raonic plays on Friday against 15th seed Fabio Fognini, who beat Lu YenHsun 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. He said that his downbeat demeanour that plagued his play Thursday is a temporary problem. “It’s a Milos problem, we’ve spoken of it many times,” he said. “But the beauty of tennis is when you win, you can always play much better the next day.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

HOF induction ‘not why I played the game’: Clemens

Roger Clemens took advantage of his induction into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame to throw batting practice to two of his sons on the field at Fenway Park. Then it was off to Chicago to see another son play in a high school All-America game at Wrigley Field. But at no point in his busy schedule, the seventime Cy Young winner said, does he spend any time worrying about whether he will eventually gain election

to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. “If it happens, it happens. It’s not going to change me as a person,” Clemens said at Fenway on Thursday morning. “It’s not why I played the game. When I was out there and I was doing it, I did it to the best of my ability, and I worked my tail off.” Clemens was inducted into the Red Sox hall during a lunchtime ceremony along

with Pedro Martinez, Nomar Garciaparra and longtime broadcaster Joe Castiglione. They were recognized on the field during a 20-minute ceremony that included highlights and prerecorded speeches played on the centre-field scoreboard before Thursday night’s game against the Houston Astros. Clemens received polite applause from the crowd, while Garciaparra and Martinez were given rousing ovations. The four received

plaques and stood at the edge of the mound before throwing out ceremonial first pitches. Clemens’ reputation across baseball suffered when he was featured in the Mitchell Report on performance-enhancing drug use in baseball. Although he has been eligible for the past two Cooperstown elections, Clemens has received about one-third of the votes (with three-fourths needed for election). THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NFL searches for marijuana answers Thoughts on pot. Attitudes around weed are changing, science shifting

The NFL drug policy has come under even more scrutiny this summer, after the NFL handed down a season-long suspension of Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon for multiple violations of the NFL substance-abuse policy. getty images

Marijuana is casting an everthickening haze across NFL locker-rooms, and it’s not simply because more players are using it. As attitudes toward the drug soften, and science slowly teases out marijuana’s possible benefits for concussions and other injuries, the NFL is reaching a critical point in navigating its tenuous relationship with what is recognized as the analgesic of choice for many of its players. “It’s not, ‘Let’s go smoke a joint,’” retired NFL defensive lineman Marvin Washington said. “It’s, what if you could take something that helps

you heal faster from a concussion, that prevents your equilibrium from being off for two weeks and your eyesight for being off for four weeks?” One challenge the NFL faces is how to bring marijuana into the game as a pain reliever without condoning its use as a recreational drug. And facing a lawsuit filed on behalf of hundreds of former players complaining about the effects of prescription painkillers they say were pushed on them by team trainers and doctors, the NFL is looking for other ways to help players deal with the pain from a violent game. A Gallup poll last year found 58 per cent of Americans believe marijuana should be legalized. That’s already happened in Colorado and Washington — the states that are home to last season’s Super Bowl teams. The associated press

World Cup fallout

Luis Suarez’s 4-month playing ban, for biting incident, upheld The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld Luis Suarez’s four-month ban for biting an opponent at the World Cup, but cleared him Thursday to train with Barcelona. CAS said FIFA’s sanctions against Suarez are “generally proportionate to the offence committed.” Suarez can next play for Barcelona on Oct. 26, which could be the day the team faces Real Madrid in the Spanish league. He remains banned for Uruguay’s next eight competitive matches and will miss next year’s Copa América and some World Cup qualifying matches. Suarez bit Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini’s shoulder during Uruguay’s 1-0 win at the World Cup on June 24. He denied it at first, but later admitted it and apologized within days.

Two-year contract

Antonio Conte new coach of Italy Former Juventus manager Antonio Conte was confirmed as the new coach of Italy after signing a twoyear contract on Thursday. The Italian football federation announced the appointment, three days after new president Carlo Tavecchio was elected. Tavecchio and Conte spoke on the phone early Thursday. Conte will be presented at a news conference in Rome on Tuesday. The 45-year-old Conte replaces Cesare Prandelli, who resigned — along with former FIGC president Giancarlo Abete — immediately after Italy’s early elimination from the World Cup in Brazil.

Seattle stocked with stellar arms. Cy Young candidate Hernandez at the head of staff with combined 2.95 ERA

This is how good Felix Hernandez has pitched in making himself the clear leader for a second Cy Young award. The ace of the Seattle Mariners has set the pace for a pitching staff that’s on a record pace not seen from an American League team in 40 years and is the reason that Seattle is playing meaningful baseball in August for the

first time in seven years. Seattle is in the mix for the second wild card in the American League after winning eight of nine and it’s because of a pitching staff that has a combined 2.95 ERA, led by the brilliance of Hernandez. “I think we’re all just worried about doing our jobs and if we go out and do our jobs

one pitch at a time that stuff all takes care of itself,” said starter Chris Young, signed by Seattle at the end of spring training and now with 11 victories. Since the introduction of the designated hitter in 1973, no American League team has posted a lower ERA in a non-strike season than the Mariners have currently. The 1974 Oakland Athletics, with a pitching staff that included Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue and Rollie Fingers, finished the year with a 2.95 ERA. The Los Angeles Dodgers in 1989 were the last team in either league to finish the season with a sub-3.00 ERA. The Associated PRess

Baseball. Manfred new commissioner Rob Manfred was elected baseball’s 10th commissioner Thursday and will succeed Bud Selig in January. A labour lawyer who has worked for Major League Baseball since 1998, Manfred beat out Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner in the first contested vote for a new commissioner in 46 years. The third candidate, MLB executive vice-president of business Tim Brosnan, dropped out just before the start of voting. “I am tremendously honoured by the confidence owners showed in me today,”

Manfred said. “I have very big shoes to fill.” The 55-year-old Manfred, who grew up in Rome, N.Y., — about an hour’s drive from the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown — must address issues that include decreased interest in baseball among younger people and longer games. He has served as MLB’s chief operating officer for the past year. “There is no doubt in my mind he has the temperament, the training, the experience,” Selig said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
