Sometimes you have to spend money to

MAKE MONEY

Brent Butt, Wayne Gretzky and Rick Mercer are among the big-ticket celebrities Central Alberta charities have used in fundraising efforts.

But did the investments pay off?

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The old adage “You have to spend money to make money” now applies to local charities.

In this celebrity-mad age, more non-profit groups are counting on famous faces to draw the public to fundraising events.

The cash-strapped New Brunswick charity that gained national notoriety for asking Justin Trudeau to return his $20,000 speaker’s fee is hardly the only one going the celebrity-speakers’ route.

A lot of local charities are hiring notable personalities to ensure good turnouts for benefits and charity galas — whether it’s Red Deer College bringing in Wayne Gretzky, who routinely charges $100,000-plus for speaking engagements, or the Medicine River Wildlife Centre paying $25,000 for a Rick Mercer appearance.

Notwithstanding the money-losing New Brunswick debacle (caused by too few ticket sales), celebrities usually provide big bang for your buck, said John Donald, who chairs the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. And anything that makes a charity money at the end of the day is worth it, he added.

Donald, who has also worked on fundraising committees for the women’s shelter and SPCA, believes that in this competitive, fiscally-tight era of too many charities vying for the same dollars, it’s not enough to simply approach potential donors with your hand out.

“You have to make people passionate about giving.”

That’s certainly the idea behind the popular Festival of Trees, which makes $900,000 annually for health services in the region and has become something of a Christmastime tradition for many families.

Among the festival’s many attractions is a benefit business luncheon, featuring a famous entrepreneur.

Canadian Pacific sorry for broken bridge, derailed cars

BY BILL GRAVELAND AND LAUREN KRUGEL THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Calgary’s mayor says Canadian Pacific Railway has apologized for the chaos caused by a train that derailed after a bridge over the swollen Bow River failed Thursday.

Emergency crews were working to pump all of the oil products off six tanker cars that were teetering on the broken bridge, a process that was expected to take until Friday.

Naheed Nenshi initially lashed out at the railway, saying he had concerns about the timing of the bridge inspection in relation to flooding that swamped the city. He also wondered why railways are exempt from municipal regulations.

Railways are under federal jurisdiction and are responsible for their own inspections.

“How is it we don’t have regulatory authority over this, but it’s my guys down there risking their lives to fix it?” Nenshi asked.

“Certainly once this crisis is over, I’ll be looking for a lot of answers from a lot of people.”

“He extended an apology to the citizens of Calgary for what has happened here,” Nenshi said. “We both agreed, No. 1, our primary responsibility is to get this thing cleaned up and, No. 2, that we will work together much more and he reiterated safety in every community CP Rail runs through is a primary responsibility.

Boy struck by truck while riding his bicycle in Penhold A 10-year-old boy riding his bicycle was hit by a truck in a marked crosswalk in Penhold on Thursday afternoon.

Innisfail RCMP say at about 2 p.m. the boy was struck on Hwy 2A near Lucina Street while attempting to cross the highway. The boy was westbound when he was hit by the left front corner of the southbound truck.

The driver of the truck, a 61-year-old Innisfail man, immediately stopped and offered assistance while a witness called 911.

The boy, who was wearing a helmet, was taken to hospital by ambulance with unknown injuries.

Innisfail RCMP are investigating the collision.

Cruising into a parking spot, Tom Leech of Red Deer manoeuvres his 1957 Metropolitan convertible at the Parkland Mall. Leech joined hundreds of other car and motorcycle enthusiasts for the weekly Cruise Night at the shopping centre on Thursday. A wide variety of vehicles are on display each week from classic roadsters to vintage automobiles to custom motorcycles and late model vehicles. For Leech this Metropolitan is number 13 of 14 he has restored over the years.

“And its my last,” said Leech who now has a 1934 Studebaker which will keep him busy in his garage next winter.

STORIES FROM A1

CASH: Gretzky brought in tons of fans Passion was also plenty evident at the packed RDC Gretzky breakfast in March. It attracted 1,400 people who heard The Great One reminisce about his glory days in the NHL. The event raised $75,000 for student scholarships — far less than the cash lay-out needed to pay for Gretzky’s whopping speaker’s fee, as well as the breakfast, advertising and facility rental.

But while some people in the community suggested there must be more efficient ways of raising money, in which the up-front investment does not outstrip the profit, Donald is not one of these critics.

“I think it was an awesome, super successful event,” he said. It garnered more money for student scholarships than any previous RDC fundraising breakfast. Donald questioned how many people would have shown up if Gretzky was not the main draw?

“Wayne Gretzky brought in tons of (fans), people that I hadn’t seen at any other fundraiser,” he said, adding that one advantage is a celebrity-oriented event will attract a wider circle of people than the altruistic group that regularly supports charities.

Certainly Keith Hansen, athletics director of Red Deer College, was pleased with the result. He called the Gretzky fundraiser “a very, very big success,” noting it out-performed previous benefits featuring Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock, Canadian national women’s hockey team coach Mel Davidson and The Brick founder Bill Comrie.

But then, as far as celebrities go, Hansen said, “You can’t get any bigger than Wayne Gretzky — at least not in Central Alberta.”

Other famous personalities who have made Red Deer-area appearances include Corner Gas actor and comedian Brent Butt (for the Medicine River Wildlife Centre and the Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools Education Foundation), former Toronto

Maple Leafs hockey player Darryl Sittler (the Catholic schools foundation), Olympic athletes Mellisa Hollingsworth and Deidra Dionne (for a fundraiser for the local 2010 Olympic torch relay celebration), sportscaster Ron MacLean (for a local golf tournament), and champion curlers Kevin Martin and Ben Hebert (for Ronald McDonald House).

Organizers of these various events largely had positive experiences with the celebrities, and in each case, made a tidy return for their charitable investment.

Kurt Schultz, chair of the Red Deer Regional Catholic Schools Education Foundation, said members of his board always “sit down and make sure the numbers make sense, so we make the maximum profits, even if the attendance falls below expectations.”

So far, his foundation, which tries to negotiate lower speakers’ fees whenever possible, has not been disappointed. Schultz said, “By bringing in a ‘name’ person, you get a wider audience.”

About 700 people recently attended a Mac and Cheese fundraiser featuring a celebrity guest that netted about $85,000 for the Red Deer Royals. Every penny went to the band, said co-organizer Ray McBeth, who got corporate sponsors to cover all expenses.

This included the $20,000 speaker’s fee paid to New York City fire chief and 9/11 survivor Richard Picciotto.

“To me, that’s what it should be,” said McBeth.

Local multi-cause Red Deer fundraiser Lyn Radford believes it’s possible to get a good profit for a modest investment if you know your prospective audience.

For instance, she paid a speaker’s fee of about $7,500 in total for both celebrity curlers Martin and Hebert and made a net profit of $60,000 for the Ronald McDonald House. A year later, a charity bonspiel she organized that once again featured Martin, as well as curler John Morris, raised an impressive $100,000 for the same charity.

Radford said she knows Red Deer is curling-mad, so bringing in these popular athletes was a sure hit.

“Curlers have big fans, but reasonable fees. You get a high-profile speaker for a lot less money.”

But she cautions that “it’s a balancing act” be-

VANCOUVER — A B.C. Supreme Court jury has convicted a Vancouver man of human trafficking in the case of a Filipino nanny.

Franco Yiu Kwan Orr and Oi Ling Nicole Huen were each charged after Leticia Sarmiento called police following an altercation at the couple’s home in 2010.

Sarmiento had looked after the couple’s children as a live-in nanny since 2008.

The jury has acquitted Huen of the charge.

Orr is expected to return to court July 10 to set a sentencing hearing.

During trial, Sarmiento described the day she called police after one of her employers pushed her and doused her with a jug of water before she escaped from the home.

Sarmiento, who now works as a cleaner, arrived in Canada in 2008 with Huen and Orr and their children after working for them in Hong Kong as a livein caregiver.

It was only after police took her to a women’s shelter that she discovered she’d been living in Canada illegally with a long-expired six-month visitor’s visa. tween attracting fans of celebrities who can only afford the entry fee for an event and attracting those who can also open their pockets for “additions,” such as live and silent auctions.

If fundraisers only attract people who are maxedout after spending $150 for a ticket, the potential to raise more donations will evaporate, said Radford.

“Usually these additions is where you make a lot of your money.”

Because Radford’s own background is in sports, she said she primarily brings in sporting celebrities, and many, including local athletes Dionne and speedskater Jeremy Wotherspoon, have been willing to speak locally for only their expenses getting covered.

“They believe in giving back to the community and that’s what really helps a charity,” said Radford.

At the same time, she added that there’s nothing like attaching a charity’s name to a really big celebrity to create local buzz.

“You get people talking about a charity and sometimes that’s what you really need.”

People are still talking about Medicine River Wildlife Centre fundraisers, which brought TV comedian Mercer, Butt and his Corner Gas co-star Eric Peterson, and CBC news host Peter Mansbridge to the city, said the group’s executive-director, Carol Kelly. “They raised the centre’s profile.”

Kelly did particularly well with the first Mercer fundraiser, which garnered the centre $30,000, after paying off costs, including his speaker’s fee.

But then the recession hit, and the following benefits made net profits of only about $10,000 to $15,000 each.

“We didn’t make a fortune in the last couple of years,” said Kelly, who admitted the events were a lot of work to pull together, so the centre decided to take a break from staging them.

“We might bring them back in future,” added Kelly, who still hears requests for the community.

“Several people have said, ‘You brought in those speakers, you must be a big deal. ...’ ” Despite less than stellar returns, Kelly maintained she would never have asked the speakers to return part of their fees. “I wouldn’t consider that. A deal’s a deal!” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Tensions rise in High River THREE PEOPLE ARRESTED ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT TRYING TO GET INTO THE TOWN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HIGH RIVER — Frustration continues to mount for people in High River, who have still not been allowed back into their homes a week after flood waters ravaged the region.

The RCMP has stepped up its presence around the perimeter of the community, posting officers at various checkpoints and on roving patrol throughout the evacuated areas.

Mounties say three people were arrested on Wednesday night trying to get into the town but were caught by officers on patrol. The RCMP says it will discuss with the Crown whether charges should be laid.

Global News reported that tensions were running so high that at one point officers faced off with residents trying to get in and laid down a spike belt so vehicles couldn’t proceed.

Global also reported officers had gone into homes to seize unsecured firearms, which will be released back to their owners at a later date.

There are indications that some residents are starting to organize.

Maureen Hefferton told CHQR News that hundreds are planning to meet Friday at Coal Trail with the aim of pushing for more information than officials have so far provided.

She said many of their homes suffered only minimal damage, but they’re concerned that the longer their homes sit with water in them, the worse the final bill will be.

“You could have saved it in three or four days with a pump but now that mould is growing and it’s getting worse,” she said. “People who would have had a certain amount of damage are now going to have twice that much or have their homes uninhabitable.”

Mayor Emile Blokland said the finishing touches are being put on the town’s comprehensive, staged

DERAILMENT: ‘Clearly’ a failure of the piers “I was happy to hear that commitment and now we’ll see how well we’re able to fix this problem.”

CP (TSX:CP) issued a statement Thursday morning that said the bridge had been inspected on Saturday and the tracks on Monday. However, Harrison later told reporters the bridge was inspected five times after floodwaters rose. And CP engineers at the scene said the bridge had actually been inspected 18 times since flooding began.

Harrison said it was “clearly” a failure of piers at the bottom of the river. The engineers blamed it on fast water scouring away gravel under the support.

“We couldn’t have seen anything from an inspection on top unless there was severe movement as a result of the failure down below,” Harrison said.

“We would normally have probably put divers in to inspect, but the current was too fast. Somebody would have drowned if they had tried to go in there, plus the current was so fast, and it’s so murky, you couldn’t do an appropriate inspection.”

The rail company didn’t anticipate “a problem like this occurring at all,” said Harrison, who said it would have been “jeopardizing commerce” to hold back trains until divers could get in.

He also said the bridge’s failure was as “extraordinary” as the heavy rains and flooding in southern Alberta. The bridge was built in 1912 and hasn’t had a failure like this since 1944, he noted.

Nenshi wondered if recent layoffs at CP had anything to do with the situation.

“I’ll be very blunt. I’ll probably get in trouble for saying this,” Nenshi said. “We’ve seen a lot of people lose their jobs at CP over the last year. How many bridge inspectors did they fire?”

The company, however, said the number of bridge inspectors remained the same.

Alberta Premier Alison Redford speaks with media at the Cargill meat processing plant north of High River, Alberta on Thursday. Cargill, whose operations have been affected by the flooded Highwood River, is a major employer and customer to ranchers in the High River area. re-entry plan, adding it will be announced Friday at 12:30 p.m.

“The last thing we want is to put people in homes and then say we have to evacuate because this lake decided to drain or because we haven’t had a drain

and there’s a saturation of water and all of a sudden there’s a large rainfall and we’re evacuating people again and perhaps we can’t get them to leave this time, which would result in death,” said Rick Fraser, who was recently appointed minister of regional recovery to handle the flooding.

RCMP say so far there is just one person unaccounted for.

Meanwhile, hundreds of High River residents encountered another frustration when they lined up for hours in the hot sun in nearby Nanton to be issued pre-loaded debit cards to help pay for their immediate housing and day to day expenses.

Later in the day, Opposition Leader Danielle Smith tweeted there was a four-hour wait in Vulcan, where officials were handing out both the debit cards and personal cheques in an effort to speed things up.

Blokland also announced Thursday that those staying at evacuation centres in outlying communities now will have the option of taking up temporary housing in suites at the University of Lethbridge.

“These folks have been sleeping on cots for the past week, three feet apart in a hockey arena,” he said. “This is a voluntary relocation for all those that would like to get into more comfortable housing.”

In Calgary, people continued the long process of cleaning up flood-damaged homes as they tried to get their lives back to normal.

Engineers at the Calgary Zoo determined it was safe to start returning animals to their enclosures, including snow leopards, red pandas and an emu.

Lions and tigers could be back in their pens by the weekend.

Giraffes which had been found shivering in bellydeep water on the weekend were on the mend, the zoo said.

The Alberta government reduced the number of communities with states of local emergency to 12, down from almost 30 a week ago.

Nine highways remained closed. Two highways have restricted access, including the Trans-Canada Highway west of Calgary.

In Medicine Hat, 75 per cent of evacuated homes and businesses have been inspected and 90 per cent of those have been deemed safe for people.

Jeff Gaulin of Tervita Corp., the derailment emergency response experts brought into handle the situation, said late Thursday that four cars still needed to be pumped out, one had been cleared and one was empty from the get-go.

“Once that’s done, we’ll have a crane on site . . . when we will actually be lifting off the trains by crane off the tracks, putting them on land and putting them on transport to move them offsite.”

Gaulin estimated the cars would be drained by Friday morning and that removal of the wreckage would take a couple of days.

“We’re very confident they can be taken care of without leakage and they can be removed safely,” he said. “We’ve been quite fortunate that ... the situation was stabilized quite quickly. There was minimal risk either of leakage or of collapse, but we’ve been on site prepared for just about anything.”

Acting Calgary fire chief Ken Uzeloc said crews had strung a cable through the railcars and secured it to another train carrying rocks so that if the bridge gave way, the cars wouldn’t be carried away.

Bruce Burrell, Calgary’s emergency management director, said booms were placed down river.

The primarily industrial area around the derailment was evacuated, including the city’s sewage treatment plant. Nenshi said staff had to leave because of the evacuation and there was no one left to treat the raw waste water now flowing through the plant. He said the city’s water supply was safe, though. A major highway, Deerfoot trail, was also shut down for much of the day.

Federal NDP transport critic Olivia Chow said the federal government has to stop allowing rail companies to conduct their own inspections.

“They can do their own inspections, but the federal government — or some level of government — need to inspect bridges,” she said.

“Mayor Nenshi is absolutely correct. He was being very polite, but it’s the municipal government’s personnel whose lives are on the line and yet they have absolutely no say whether these bridges are safe or not.”

Trekkers Walking Club of St. Albert is inviting Central Albertans to join them this weekend on their walks in Red Deer on Sunday and Sylvan Lake on Monday. Walkers have the choice of five or 10-km routes.

The Red Deer walk starts at 9:15 a.m. from the Black Knight Inn parking lot.

The Sylvan Lake walk starts at 3 p.m. from the Sylvan Lake Visitor Centre.

Central Alberta residents are asked to pitch in to fill a trailer headed to aid with flood relief in Southern Alberta.

From noon to 9 p.m. on July 12, a semi-trailer will be in the Red Deer Peavey Mart parking lot, at 2410 50th Ave. It will be loaded with donated items.

High River, Siksika Nation and other areas affected by the flooding are in desperate need of bleach, cleaning supplies, pillows, sheets, blankets, baby formula, non-perishable food, baby food, diapers, bottles of water, buckets, mops, garbage bags, fans, shovels, rakes, rubber boots and numerous other At Your items.

People are asked to bring their items boxed as it will make shipping easier. Items such as artistryingold.ca shovels, fans, rakes and mops do not need to be THE FINE DIAMOND PEOPLE boxed.

Clothing is not needed for this flood relief shipment.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HIGH RIVER — It’s not just people who want to go back to their homes in flood-ravaged High River in southern Alberta — hundreds of four-legged evacuees are waiting to be reunited with their owners and to return to more familiar surroundings.

When the 13,000 residents of the town south of Calgary were forced from their homes a week ago, up to 2,000 dogs, cats, birds and even lizards were left behind. A mandatory evacuation and the swiftness with which waters rose meant that many people weren’t able to retrieve their furry or feathered friends.

Police and military officials rescued many of the critters. Organizations such as the Heaven Can Wait Animal Rescue Foundation, located just a few kilometres southwest of High River, have helped with rescues and given the animals a temporary home.

The rural facility is anything but peaceful right now. There’s a cacophony of barking, yelping, yowling and meowing. It’s been a stressful time for shelter founder Kim Hessel.

“You just do what you need to do. You keep things organized. I’m trying to get as much information (as possible) to people about the status of their animals,” she said as she gave The Canadian Press a tour of the shelter she founded in 1999.

“People need to have a better idea of what’s going on so that the panic goes away and they feel they have a chance of getting their animals back.”

High River’s bylaw service has reported that more than 400 pets have been rescued so far and removed from water-soaked homes. Unfortunately rescuers also have found that hundreds have died.

“That’s a sad reality of course in any natural disaster,” said an emotional Hessel. “I know it couldn’t be avoided and I’m sure a lot of those are a result of rushing water . . . but nobody wants to think that their animal has died a tragic death.”

Will Canada keep pace?

OBAMA’S CLIMATECHANGE STRATEGY PUTS PRESSURE ON CANADA

BY THOMAS WALKOM SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE When U.S. President Barack Obama spelled out his plans to fight climate change this week, most Canadian attention focused on a proposed Albertato-Texas pipeline.

Certainly, the Keystone XL heavy oil pipeline is important. Both proponents and opponents of the Alberta oilsands have much riding on whether it goes ahead. Obama’s deliberately opaque references on Tuesday gave few real clues.

But Canadians also have a broader interest in how America handles climate change. For the sad truth is that no Canadian government of any political stripe will do much on this front unless the U.S. acts.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government has made it clear that it won’t introduce any taxes or regulations that might put Canadian

industry at a competitive disadvantage.

Jean Chrétien’s Liberals didn’t use this language when they were in power. But their remarkable inactivity on climate change also reflected an unwillingness to act more boldly than Canada’s main trading partner.

Should Tom Mulcair’s New Democrats ever take office, they, too, would be faced with the same constraint: to move farther or faster than America on climate change puts Canadian jobs — and corporate profits — at risk.

So how fast is America moving? And what exactly is Obama proposing?

The answer to the first question is that Obama is doing more to fight climate change than many, perhaps including the president himself, ever expected.

He has been helped by a devastating economic recession that reduced the demand for coal-fired electricity.

He has also been helped by the exploitation of relatively inexpensive shale oil and gas, which has reduced the need for dirtier coal. (Problem: shale gas production threatens groundwater supplies.)

However, the Obama administration

also did its bit.

It required new coal-fired generators to reduce the amount of carbon put into the atmosphere. It demanded stricter controls on auto exhaust emissions.

Both the U.S. and Canada have promised that their carbon emissions in 2020 will be 17 per cent below 2005 levels. But thanks to Obama, the U.S. is on track to meeting its goal.

Canada, according to the Harper government’s own figures, is not.

Obama’s speech in Washington on Tuesday suggests more of the same.

He’s not going to try for a carbon tax, like that levied by British Columbia, 10 American states, the European Union and Australia.

That’s because he has no hope of getting such a tax, or any kind of carbon pricing, past Republicans in Congress.

Instead, he’ll push ahead with federal decrees issued under the authority of existing environmental protection laws. One study done by Resources for the Future, a non-partisan research organization, calculates that this strategy has reduced emissions faster than the kind of carbon taxes Obama initially

supported.

Let’s be clear. None of what Obama is proposing will solve the global climate-change problem. The targets that the U.S. and Canada have set themselves are embarrassingly inadequate.

But some countries, including China, have no targets at all.

Clamping down further on coal-fired electrical generating will have a discernible effect, particularly for those Ontarians who must suffer the smog that wafts across the Great Lakes each summer from the United States.

As York University professor Mark Winfield points out, the fact that America is doing anything at all to battle climate change will also highlight the Harper’s government’s failings on this file.

Does that matter politically? Harper clearly doesn’t think so, which is why he and his ministers are so dismissive of environmental critics.

But Canadians pay attention to what goes on in the United States. If the Americans tackle global warming while we do not, voters might just ask: How come?

Why not just sleep in a lawn chair?

FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNEW ABOUT CAMPING AS A PARTYING TEENAGER — CHILDREN CHANGE IT ALL When I was younger, camping essentials included beer and hot dogs — that was it.

Someone would suggest heading to the lake on Friday afternoon and less than two hours later, we’d be camping.

Tents, trailers or any kind of shelter were considered an extravagance. If we slept at all, it was usually in lawn chairs or in the back of a truck.

As a husband and parent of two boys, the camping experience has become a bit more complicated.

My wife and I both had fond childhood memories of family camping, so last summer we went out and found LEO ourselves a good used holiday PARÉ trailer.

“Camping with kids is great, but it’s a lot of work,” friends warned us.

Oh, how right they were.

One of our early lessons came as we tried to stock the trailer for the maiden voyage. In true rookiecamper form, we bought way too much food and forgot to bring several essential items (i.e. flashlight, ketchup, utensils).

During our first lake trip of the 2013 season, we set up camp on a cold, rainy Thursday afternoon, only to discover our furnace and hot-water heater weren’t working.

The weather remained consistently cold and miserable for the entire weekend, keeping us inside watching animated children’s movies all day — which we could have easily done at home.

Camping with young children is an adventure in itself, as meal time, bath time and bed time become exponentially more challenging.

The financial reality of camping also caught me off guard. We estimate that a standard weekend trip costs somewhere between $350 and $500 by the time groceries, gasoline, site fees and other incidental costs are factored in.

During one of our weekend outings in early June, I awoke around 6:30 a.m. Sunday for no good reason.

Unable to go back to sleep, I crept out of the trailer and walked over to the shower house. It had rained the night before, but that morning the sun was up and the chatter of birds was echoing in the trees.

After a refreshing shower, I returned to the trailer, woke up my two-year-old, put on his boots and jacket and carried him down to the lakeshore. The sun was warm on the shoreline, so I sat on a log and watched Grayson throw rocks into the calm, clear water.

It was one of those profoundly strange, beautiful and frightening moments we sometimes experience when reflecting on the rapid progression of our lives.

Not all that long ago, I was a wild-eyed, care-free, self-absorbed teenager — the concept of kids, a wife and weekend camping trips seemed a lifetime away.

But here I was, watching my boy throw rocks in the lake while my wife and infant son slept in our very own holiday trailer a few yards away.

It made me think of my own parents and how they too must have experienced a few of these surreal moments of self-reflection.

Wanting to capture the magic in some way, I pulled out my phone and snapped a photo of Grayson — am image I will treasure until the end of my days.

That’s why we go camping.

That’s why we tolerate all the work, the mess, the expense and the frustration.

That’s why — despite all my grumbling — I still get excited about getting out to the lake every summer.

HELLO

Garry Skakun

n o s i l l A n i v Ke After attending college here years ago, I’m very excited to return to Red Deer. I’ve been fortunate to work with great people in both small and large dealerships, and seizing the opportunity to work with the teams at MGM Ford Lincoln, Go Auto Direct, and Go RV and Marine was an easy decision. We offer a diverse range of quality products and have access to a huge selection as part of the Go Auto family, but what really sets us apart is our commitment to customer service. Flat commission sales, free service loaners, 24/7 customer support, and Go Card savings and rewards are just a few things we’ve done to give you a better car buying and service experience. Stop by the dealership to say hi and find out how we’re happy to help!

After 18 years with Honda Red Deer and five years after organizing the acquisition and construction of the Acura dealership, we’re very excited to bring our customers even more value as part of the Go Auto family. I believe that long term customer relationships are built upon a foundation of trust and communication and I have centered my entire career upon that basic belief. Successful sales are based upon an ability to listen to people in order to fully understand what is important to them. On behalf of the staff at Honda and Acura, we look forward to delivering the high standards our customers expect and deserve.

Come down, say hello, and enjoy a whole new car buying experience.

Als’ late rally downs Bombers

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

VINCENT LECAVALIER

LECAVALIER CASUALTY OF A BUYOUT Vincent Lecavalier has been the face of the Tampa Bay Lightning for much of his career.

Now he’s a symbol of the team’s retooling effort as it will buy out the final seven years of the captain’s contract. Lecavalier, a constant for the Lightning from when he was the No. 1 pick in 1998 and through the 2004 Stanley Cup victory and subsequent changes, will become an unrestricted free agent July 5, assuming he clears buyout waivers. The 33-yearold had US$45 million left on his contract and will be paid two-thirds of that over the next 14 years. The Lightning will get relief from the centre’s $7.727-million salary cap hit. Bought out more because of his high cap hit and lengthy contract, Lecavalier instantly becomes the most attractive unrestricted free agent on the market. He had 383 goals and 491 assists in 1,037 NHL games, all with Tampa Bay. He was a key piece to the Lightning’s only championship and stayed with the team along with Martin St. Louis as it went through massive turnover after the 2004-’05 lockout and beyond.

“Vinny has been a significant reason for many of our past successes, including the 2004 Stanley Cup, and his contributions to the community are immeasurable,” Yzerman said. “The Lightning organization is indebted to Vinny; we thank him for all he has done here and we wish him well.”

Montreal Alouettes’ Noel Devine stiff-arms Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ Alex Suber during the first half of their CFL game at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg Thursday. The Alouettes rallied from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Blue Bombers 38-33.

Alouettes 38 Blue Bombers 33 WINNIPEG — The Montreal Alouettes were impolite guests at the official opening of Investors Group Field on Thursday, defeating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 38-33 to open the CFL season.

The Alouettes rallied after surrendering a 14-0 lead they built early in the first quarter and had to come back in the fourth from a nine-point deficit.

Demond Washington’s 80-yard punt return for a touchdown helped the Winnipeg Blue Bombers grab the lead in the third quarter and electrify the sellout crowd of 33,500.

Oft-injured Winnipeg quarterback Buck Pierce, who didn’t see much pre-season action, was intercepted twice and sacked three times but moved the ball better in the second half.

Montreal quarterback Anthony Calvillo was sacked four times but kept his offence moving, although he had trouble getting past the Bomber goalline after the opening quarter.

It didn’t start well for Pierce.

On his first throw of the game he was intercepted by Geoff Tisdale and Chris Jennings ran the ball three yards for Montreal’s first touchdown.

Tyrone Carrier then returned Mike Renaud’s 39-yard punt 77 yards for Montreal’s second touchdown at 4:50.

Stampeders want to win for flood victims

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders have extra motivation to win their home opener against the B.C. Lions tonight.

Not only do the Stamps want to start the 2013 CFL season with a strong showing, they also want to win for their fans who have been affected by the devastating floods in southern Alberta.

“I’m ready to go out there and just give the stadium and the community something to be cheerful and happy about due to the flooding and everything with what’s been going on,” said Calgary kick returner/receiver Larry Taylor. “A lot of families are dealing with a lot of emotional things, being evacuated out of their places.

“Hopefully we can come out here and put on a good performance on Friday night and give the fans something to take their minds away from what they’re dealing with personally.”

Representatives from the Canadian Red Cross will be on hand at McMahon Stadium on Friday night to collect donations for the flood relief effort.

“It has been an extremely difficult week for the city of Calgary and our hearts truly go out to all the people who have been displaced and affected by the flood,” said Calgary coach and general manager John Huf-

nagel. “This is an incredibly challenging time for so many Calgarians. This football team is looking forward to providing a little boost to our city for a few hours Friday night at McMahon Stadium.

“I know the Stampeder fans are very avid fans that have been waiting for this all off-season.”

B.C. coach Mike Benevides offered up his condolences to those who were affected by the flooding.

“I obviously want to let everybody in Calgary know that we’re certainly thinking about them and our thoughts and prayers are with them,” Benevides said. “My hope is (Friday) night we give them three hours of distraction and an exciting game.”

Running back Jon Cornish said that he expects the atmosphere at McMahon to be extremely emotional leading up to the opening kickoff.

“What happened here in Calgary has hurt so many people’s lives a killed people,” Cornish said. “If there’s one thing we can do tomorrow to help this city, it’s win.”

Cornish added that it won’t be an easy task for Calgary against a tough B.C. defence, but that the Stampeders are up for the challenge.

“They have a huge amount of experience back there and their defensive line is quite impressive,” Cornish said. “It’s always really fun for me to play against them because

it’s a great opportunity to see where we are and how well we can deal with the best.”

Via his twitter account ((at)jonnycornish), Cornish stated: “So it’s decided, for this game I will be donating $10 a yard to the Red Cross. Let’s hope BC’s defense doesn’t have a problem with that!”

While impressed with Cornish’s generous offer, Lions linebacker Adam Bighill said he and the rest of the B.C. defence will do their utmost to contain Cornish.

“In a way that sucks, but in a way, we’ve got to get our job done too,” Bighill said.

“He’s a good player and a feature player for them. You’ve always got to know where their weapons are and he’s definitely one of them and he touches the ball a lot.”

Veteran receiver Nik Lewis also said that he’s looking forward to seeing how the Stamps match up against B.C. “It’s a great way to start the season off,” Lewis said.

“It’s a Western Division opponent, one of the top teams since I’ve been here. It’s a great way for us to focus in and see what we’ve got early.”

Calgary quarterback Drew Tate, who’s looking to rebound from an injury-plagued 2012 season, said he can’t wait to take to the field on Friday night to play in front of a packed house.

Innisfail’s Groenevelde awarded AAF bursary OTTAWA — AthletesCAN and Investors Group are pleased to announce that kayak slalom national team member Jessica Groeneveld has been awarded a $5,000 Team Investors Group Amateur Athletes Fund bursary.

In keeping with their commitment to amateur sport in Canada, Investors Group established a bursary fund for Canada’s top high performance athletes. A national leader in delivering personalized financial solutions to Canadians, Investors Group annually awards twenty $5,000 bursaries to assist Canada’s elite amateur athletes with the costs of training and competition. Selection criteria includes: athletic achievement, financial need and community involvement. Since its inception in 2000, the Team Investors Group Amateur Athletes

Fund has provided more than $1,300,000 to Canadian athletes.

AthletesCAN administers the bursary on behalf of Investors Group.

“Investors Group considers it an honour to help support our nation’s elite athletes with these bursaries,” said Richard Irish, vice-president, Community Affairs and Marketing Support for Investors Group. “Athletes at this level are constantly juggling the demands of work and school with training and competition. For 13 years now, we have been pleased to provide Canada’s athletes with bursaries totaling over $1 million to make those demands easier to manage.”

“The Team Investors Group Amateur Athletes Fund will allow me to focus on competing at my best in 2013 and allow me to spend more time working on local events I am organizing rath-

er than working a paid job to make ends meet,” she added.

RODEO

CFL: Season opener Justin Palardy kicked the first of his three field goals and Winnipeg finally scored its first touchdown after Washington picked off a bouncing overthrow from Calvillo and ran it back 49 yards.

Pierce connected with Chris Matthews to make it 14-10. Matthews, the CFL’s outstanding rookie last season, was confirmed as a starter only Thursday morning.

Winnipeg picked up a single on a Renaud punt into the end zone to start the second quarter but Pierce was intercepted again.

Calvillo was sacked on the following drive and had to settle for a 36-yard field goal from Sean Whyte to make it 17-11.

A fumble on Winnipeg’s next play handed the ball back inside the Bombers’ 40 but again their defence held Montreal to a field goal.

Whyte conceded a safety at 10:58 to bring the Bombers within a touchdown again but his short field goal made it 23-13 as the first half ended, with the Alouettes stalled again at the goal-line.

Pierce brought the Bombers within three at the start of the second half, thanks to a 65-yard reception from Jade Etienne and an eight-yard touchdown pass to Clarence Denmark.

Then Washington brought the crowd to their feet with his 80-yard run and goal-line dive to put the Bombers ahead 27-23 near the four-minute mark.

Palardy added a field goal a few minutes later to make it 30-23, Montreal picked up a single, and then Palardy kicked a 48-yarder before the end of the third quarter to make it 33-24.

But Calvillo wasn’t done, throwing a 42-yard pass to S.J. Green in the end zone just over four minutes into the final quarter to bring the Alouettes within two.

A penalty brought the Alouettes into Winnipeg territory and Whyte kicked a 35-yard field goal to make it 34-33. He made another at 13:19 and capped the scoring on a punt single for a 38-33 lead.

This was the second game but also the official opening for the new $200-million stadium on the campus of the University of Manitoba. The Bombers played their first exhibition game there June 12.

STAMPS: Excited “I think we’re all really excited about this opportunity not only just for ourselves and our team but for the city also,” Tate said.

Meanwhile, the Lions will be out to avenge a 3429 setback at home to Calgary last November in the West Final.

“You do remember the last game you played and it was a bittersweet one,” said B.C. quarterback Travis Lulay.

“Calgary came into our place and earned that one.

It just teaches you if you haven’t been humbled yet in sports that you earn every single win.

“We found that out in playoffs the hard way.

That’s sports. You’ve got to come back. You’ve got to have a short memory.”

Lulay added that the Lions will definitely have their work cut out for them against the Stamps.

“We have a ton of respect in our locker room for this Calgary football team and rightfully so,” Lulay said.

“This is a great test for us. We just want to go out and see if all the hard work we put in at camp can be used on game day.”

cross our fingers and go to all the other rodeos, and hopefully they phone me to come back.”

“I’ve had some trouble here staying on at this rodeo, and it’s really good to break that streak, because you’ve got to do good here at Ponoka.”

Bullfighter Scott Byrne took a hit from a bull called Indian Turtle while protecting a cowboy Thursday afternoon and was off to the hospital to get checked. Canadian Pro Rodeo Sports Medicine Team officials called it a facial injury, but Lambert admits to see that happen to their protector is unnerving.

“He’s saved our butts so many times throughout the years. It’s terrible to see him get run over like that and take a hit. He’s always there for us every time. We wish we could be there for him when he gets stuck in a tight spot.

Hopefully, he’s OK.” The best bareback ride of the day was an 84.25 from Oregon’s Austin Foss on Rock N Roll, leaving Jared Smith on top of the leaderboard with an 86.50.

The numbers are tight at the top of the saddle bronc riding standings, still led by 83.75 from Curtis Garton and Troy Crowser.

But Cody Taton of New Mexico and Tyrel Larsen of Manitoba slid in close behind with 83.50 marks. Rocky’s Jim Berry is in next with an 83 he earned Thursday on Veronica.

Ponoka chuckwagon race fans were again treated to exceptional chuckwagon races, and 3-time Ponoka Stampede finalist Rae Croteau Jr. posted the fast time on the night with a penalty free run of 1:15.78.

Coming off barrel number 4 in heat number 4, Croteau won the day money by just 77 one-hundredths of a second over 3-time Ponoka Stampede Champion Reg Johnstone who placed second overall even with a one-second late outrider penalty.

Sophomore driver Chanse Vigen had his second consecutive top five run placing third overall on the night with last year’s finalist John Walters and defending Ponoka Stampede Champion Troy Dorchester rounding out the top five on the night.

After 2 runs, 2-time Ponoka Stampede Champion Jerry Bremner leads the overall standings with a 2-day combined time of 2:33.34.

That’s just 1 one-hundredth of a second better than Reg Johnstone, with Chanse Vigen, Jason Glass, Darcy Flad, Luke Tournier, Kelly Sutherland and Rae Croteau Jr. making out the top eight trying to make Sunday’s semifinal round. Ross Knight is in 9th place overall, 19 one-hundredths of a second out of eighth spot.

There is more Ponoka Stampede rodeo action this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. with the wagons rolling at 6:30 p.m.

Red Sox hang on for win over Blue Jays JAYS GIVE UP SEVEN RUNS IN SECOND INNING, LESTER HOLDS JAYS UNTIL LEAVING IN EIGHTH WITH INJURY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Boston 7 Toronto 4 BOSTON — With one ace already on the disabled list, the Boston Red Sox weren’t taking any chances when their other star pitcher landed awkwardly after a pitch late in the game.

By that point, though, Jon Lester had more than done his job.

Lester pitched into the eighth inning before jamming his right hip and leaving the game, and Dustin Pedroia homered during a seven-run second to help the Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-4 in the opener of a four-game series Thursday night.

“I slipped a little bit.

I guess the doctors were kind of calling it a little jammed hip, a type of zinging sensation down my leg.” Lester said. “It just didn’t feel normal and like I said, at that point in the game, especially with that offence — they can score some runs in a hurry — so there’s no point in trying to be a hero. We’ve got a long way to go the rest of the season.”

Toronto, which reeled off 11 straight wins this month, had won 12 of its past 14 games and 15 of 19 to close within 6 ½ games of the AL Eastleading Red Sox. Then the Blue Jays ran into Lester.

The left-hander retired 10 straight to begin the game and didn’t allow a hit until the fifth.

But he exited the game with a 7-2 lead after giving up consecutive singles to start the eighth and running the count to 3-0 on Emilio Bonifacio.

Farrell came darting out of the dugout as the infielders crowded around Lester. Moments later, Lester walked off the field and Junichi Tazawa came on in relief.

“The final pitch that he threw, his landing

foot kind of gave way and he jammed his hip,” Farrell said.

“Given where we were in the ballgame and the number of pitches he had thrown, he clearly had done his job and we weren’t going to take any chances.”

It was quite a scare for Red Sox Nation.

Clay Buchholz, who is 9-0 with a 1.71 ERA, hasn’t pitched since June 8 because of neck stiffness and a sore shoulder.

Lester, however, isn’t concerned about his leg.

He has experienced this before and doesn’t think he will miss any starts.

“I’m not too worried about it. The doctors didn’t seem worried about it,” he said.

“I actually feel fine now.

Walking off the field, it just kind of stays with you for a little while, and then after the docs looked at me, I feel normal. Hopefully that will carry over to tomorrow and we won’t have to worry about it.”

The Blue Jays capitalized when Lester left the game, cutting the deficit to 7-4 on a sacrifice fly by Jose Reyes and a groundout by Jose Bautista.

Koji Uehara pre-

served the lead with a perfect ninth for his third save.

Lester (8-4) was charged with four runs on five hits with five strikeouts and three walks in winning for just the second time in his last eight starts.

“I feel that responsibility to go out there and save the bullpen and that’s what we tried to do tonight,” Lester said.

“Obviously would have liked to give (Tazawa) a little better situation than what he came into, but he kept us with the lead and that’s the main thing.”

After starting the season 6-0 with a 2.72 ERA through his first nine starts, Lester struggled over his past seven, going 1-4 with a 7.30 ERA. He returned to form just in time to face baseball’s best team in June — and Boston’s bats provided him all the support he needed.

The Red Sox jumped all over Chien-Ming Wang, tagging the righthander for seven runs while batting around in the second. Wang (1-1) lasted just 1 2-3 innings, allowing all seven runs on six hits with two walks and no strikeouts.

“They dropped seven on us,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said.

“Against a good pitcher, you are never going to catch that. Too much to overcome.”

Lester needed only 30 pitches to get through three innings and didn’t allow a baserunner until Bautista walked with one out in the fourth.

Melky Cabrera singled for Toronto’s first hit with one out in the fifth and moved to second on a base hit by Rajai Davis. Maicer Izturis drove them both home with a double to left-centre.

Yet it wasn’t enough to make up for Boston’s blistering start.

Wang allowed the first seven batters to reach base during the drawnout second.

David Ortiz and Mike Carp walked, Daniel Nava delivered an RBI single off the Green Monster in left field and Jarrod Saltalamacchia followed with an RBI single up the middle to make it 2-0. Stephen Drew’s double to right scored Nava, and consecutive base hits by Jose Iglesias and Jacoby Ellsbury stretched the lead to 5-0 before Wang even managed an out.

Kings add three Alberta recruits for basketball INCLUDES HUNTING HILLS STAR AND SYLVAN LAKE RESIDENT DALLAS HANCOX

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF

RDC ATHLETICS

RDC Kings basketball head coach Clayton Pottinger has a couple of decisions to make before he can put together his final roster for next season.

But he took a step in that direction Thursday with the announcement of three recruits from Alberta, including six-foot-seven Hunting Hills star Dallas Hancox.

He also added six-foot guard JP Leblanc from Sturgeon and six-foot-seven forward Jordan Britton of Drumheller.

Hancox is a native of Sylvan Lake but played high school ball with the Lightning and was highly recruited.

“We’re certainly excited about getting Dallas,” said Pottinger. “He was recruited by a number of schools and has a huge upside. We also feel it was important to get the top players out of this area.

“He can play facing the basket and in the post. He can also block shots and a strong rebounder on the defensive end.”

Leblanc is considered one of the top players out

of the Edmonton area this season.

“I talked with the University of Alberta coach and when I told him we got JP he said he felt he was the best high school player out of that area,” said Pottinger. “I know he’s been down to a half dozen open workouts and he will definitely challenge for a spot.

He’s super athletic and flat-out good.”

Leblanc will give the defending ACAC champions another strong player at guard, joining returnees Lloyd Strickland, Matt Johnson, Jacob Cusumano and Ashaunti Hogan.

“From what I saw he fits right in with those guys.”

Leblanc was named to the 2012 provincial team, but didn’t play because of an injury.

Brian Prenoslo and outstanding forward Rob Pierce, who was the Red Deer male athlete of the year for 2012, are returning up front.

Britton grew up in Calgary, but played in Drumheller. He’s been out of school for a year, but impressed Pottinger.

“He has the ability to play right away and gives us more depth inside,” said Pottinger. “It nice to get tal-

ent out of Alberta and guys who are athletic and tall.

“All three of these guys are the future of the program.”

Pottinger still has a couple of spots open and will fill two of them with international players.

He’s talked with a six-foot-seven player from Texas, six-foot-eight players from Washington, DC and California and a six-foot-10 player from Germany.

“All four players want to come,” he said. “Now it’s up to me to make sure I do my homework and get the best guys. Not just the best players, but guys who are good citizens and fit in with the school and the team.”

“All four players have post-secondary experience and will come in and there won’t be a learning period,” said Pottinger.

One of the few negatives is forward Joel Carroll, who is expected to miss the season with an ACL injury.

“That’s tough as he’s an excellent player and a great leader,” said Pottinger. “Once we get the MRI back we’ll know more, but indications are it’s a torn ACL and will need surgery. If so, he’ll be out, but we’ll have him on the bench as a coach.” drode@reddeeradvocate.com

Midget AAA Braves improving Flames deal Tanguay

BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF

BASEBALL

The Red Deer Carstar Braves still have a lot of work to do to close in on the .500 mark in the NorWest Midget AAA Baseball League standings, but head coach Cam Moon feels they’re headed in the right direction.

“We got off to a slow start, which was expected, but once we got all our players back, we’ve been playing a lot better,” he said prior to leaving for the Kamloops tournament Thursday morning.

The Braves are riding a two-game win streak and sit with a 4-11 record in league play.

“Early on we didn’t have the guys who were away at the baseball academies, so we were lacking a bit of depth and we were facing several of the top teams who were already in mid-season form,” explained Moon.

“With everyone back we have the depth, especially on the mound. Early on we’d run short of pitching, especially when we played a four-game weekend.”

But even during the early portion of the season, Moon was pleased with what he saw from the team.

‘The effort was always there,” he said.

The addition of the players from the Oyen academy, hasn’t changed the team’s chemistry.

“Not at all,” stressed Moon. “The guys have fit in perfectly.”

The Braves have won six of their last eight games, although only four of them (2-2) have been league contests.

“We’ve played a number of exhibition games to fill in the schedule,” said Moon, who knows the team has to continue to improve if they want to move up in the standings.

“The top three teams are extremely deep and if you don’t play your best they can embarrass you. And you need to be at your best for the bottom teams or they will beat you. But then that’s good.

“It forces you to continue to improve.”

All 13 league teams will compete in provincial play in late July.

“There will be a pre-provincial tournament from which the top eight teams qualify for the A-side provincials and the bottom five teams drop into a Bside tournament,” explained Moon.

“We definitely want to be in the top eight. Once there you never know what can happen.

“One big win here or there can change everything.”

The Braves play four games in Kamloops, beginning today, and return to league play at home July 6-7.

They host the Sherwood Park Athletics July 6 at noon and 3 p.m. and the Sherwood Park Dukes July 7 at noon and 3 p.m. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

and Sarich to Avs THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — The Calgary Flames have sent leftwing Alex Tanguay and defenceman Cory Sarich to Colorado in exchange for right-wing David Jones and defenceman Shane O’Brien.

The 33-year-old Tanguay returns to the team that drafted him 12th overall in 1998. He scored a careerhigh 29 goals for the Avalance in the 2005-06 season.

In 13 seasons with Colorado, Calgary, Montreal and Tampa Bay, the native of Ste-Justine, Que., has 249 goals and 513 assists in 922 games.

Sarich signed as a free agent with Calgary before the 2007-08 season. The Saskatoon native has 148 points (20 goals, 128 assists) and 1,051 penalty minutes in 915 games with Buffalo, Tampa Bay and Calgary.

Jones has spent the past six seasons with the Avalanche.

The native of Guelph, Ont., has accumulated 70 goals and 56 assists in 272 games.

O’Brien, a six-foot-three, 230-pound defenceman from Port Hope, Ont., has 88 points (13 goals, 75 assists) and 853 penalty minutes in 483 games with Anaheim, Tampa Bay, Vancouver, Nashville and Colorado.

“This trade adds needed size up front and grit on the back end while also allowing us to get younger,” Flames general manager Jay Feaster said in a statement.

“We like the fact that Jones plays a north-south game, drives hard to the net, kills penalties and is a right hand shot.

“O’Brien is a hard guy to play against, knows how to get under the skin of the opposition and stands up for his teammates. We are pleased to add both of these players to our organization.”

ALBERTA OPEN GOLF NISKU — Central Albertans sit well back after the second day of the Alberta Open championship at RedTail Landing Thursday.

Jared Nicholls of Ponoka, who plays out of Wolf Creek Golf Resort, leads five local competitors with a 158 total, following a nine-over par 81.

He’s tied for 46th.

The other four are all from the Red Deer Golf and Country Club.

Brett Pasula had a sixover 78 Thursday and is tied for 64th at 158 while Nolan Bruin is tied for 70th at 160 after a second consecutive 80.

Jesse Teron had his second 83 and is tied for 82nd at 166 with Carson Kallis sitting in a tie for 84th at 167 following an 85.

Amateur Riley Fleming of Collicutt Siding in Crossfield shot a fourunder par 68 and moved into first place with a 138 total, three strokes ahead of professional Darryl James of Shaganappi of Calgary, who came in with a 69.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canadian basketball history happened a year earlier than expected Thursday, in a stunning turn of events that surprised even Anthony Bennett.

The freshman forward from UNLV became the first Canadian selected No. 1 overall in the NBA draft, taken by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

“I’m just as surprised as everybody else,” Bennett said moments after he strode across the Barclays Center stage in his scarlet and grey suit — UNLV colours. “I didn’t really have any idea who’s going No. 1 or who was going No. 2. I heard everything was up for grabs.

But I’m just really happy, glad that I have this opportunity, and I’ve just got to thank God for everything.”

The 20-year-old from Brampton, Ont., has starred for Canada’s junior national team and was the Mountain West Conference player of the year, but was rarely mentioned as a top-pick possibility in the lead up to the draft.

He’s also been sidelined since he had rotator cuff surgery in May, but said on the eve of draft day that he wasn’t concerned his injury would affect his draft stock. Turns out, he was bang on.

Tristan Thompson of Brampton was selected No. 4 by the Cavaliers in the 2011 draft, making him the highest Canadian draft pick before Thursday.

The historical selection comes amid heady days for Canadian basketball, and a year ahead of when many projected it would happen. Teen phenom Andrew Wiggins of Vaughan, Ont., who’ll play for the Kansas Jayhawks next season, is touted as the probable first overall pick in the 2014 draft.

“Yeah. It’s just crazy. Made history.

I can’t really complain about that,” said Bennett, who had between 25 and 30 family members with him in New York — he lost count. “It’s just like a long time dream that I had since I first started playing basketball, even though it was six or seven years ago.

It’s just crazy. Next year with Wiggins, hopefully he does well at Kansas. I’m rooting for him. I’m pretty sure he’ll get that No. 1 spot.”

Steve Nash of Victoria held the Canadian record before Thompson, going 15th overall to the Phoenix Suns in 1996. The Los Angeles Lakers star, who’s also the general manager of Canada’s men’s team, retweeted the NBA’s announcement adding: “Proud on Proud!”

Prime Minister Stephen Harper also took to Twitter, writing “Congrats to (at)AnthonyBennett for being the first Cdn ever drafted 1 overall in the NBA draft. Good luck in Cleveland, we’re all behind you.”

Kelly Olynyk of Kamloops, B.C., a forward from Gonzaga, was taken No.

13 by the Boston Celtics via a trade of picks with the Dallas Mavericks.

There was suspense right up to the moment the No. 1 pick was announced, either because the Cavs were unsure who they wanted or were trying to trade the pick. Most predictions had them taking one of the big men Nerlens Noel and Alex Len. Orlando passed on both of them, too, going with Indiana swingman Victor Oladipo with the No. 2 pick. Washington took Otto Porter Jr. of Georgetown with the third pick.

The six-foot-seven Bennett, who played high school basketball at Findlay Prep in Las Vegas, didn’t participate in the draft combine or any pre-draft workouts, and will have to skip summer league. But he clearly impressed in his interviews — he interviewed for the top five teams — and his play in college last season.

Bennett had surgery a few weeks after the Runnin’ Rebels were upset in the second round of March Madness in a 64-61 loss to California.

The Canadian was asked if it would only be appropriate if American Seth Jones — son of former Toronto Raptor Popeye Jones — goes first overall in Sunday’s NHL draft.

“I’m not a big fan of hockey, but I support the Maple Leafs,” Bennett said. “Hopefully he does get picked No. 1. It’s crazy. Great feeling, man.”

The Cavaliers are determined to return to the playoffs after losing 58 games last season and firing coach Byron Scott. Bennett said he believes he’s pro-ready, but “at the same time there’s a lot of things I need to work on.

I made it, but I just need to keep working, trying to get a second contract, trying to do well for myself and the team.

Just got to keep grinding from here.”

Olynyk, meanwhile, wound up with Boston, after the Celtics sent the No. 16 pick and two future second-rounders to the Mavs to get the seven-footer who was fifth in voting for the Wooden Award.

Olynyk averaged 17.8 points and 7.3 rebounds while shooting 63 per cent from the field while leading Gonzaga to a 32-3 season.

Olynyk posted on his Twitter feed: “Today is the day Ive been working for my whole life. Just wanna thank everyone who’s helped me get where I am, so blessed! thanks nbadraft.”

Ten years after the Cavaliers selected LeBron James to start a draft that would include his future NBA championship teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in the top five — Bosh went fourth to Toronto — this one lacked the star power and perhaps the promise of stardom.

Noel and Len are also coming off injuries and couldn’t work out for teams either.

Jones, MacKinnon top prospects going into draft

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS NEW YORK — Here’s a look at the top 10 prospects available in Sunday’s NHL draft: 1. Seth Jones, defenceman, Portland (WHL) The son of former NBA star Popeye Jones topped the final NHL Central Scouting rankings because he didn’t look out of place in his first season in the Western Hockey League. Jones had 15 points in the WHL playoffs and got the Winterhawks to the MasterCard Memorial Cup final. The six-foot-four defenceman won gold with Team USA at the world junior championship and is hard to stop when going up ice.

“Seth has always risen to any challenge that’s been put in front of him,” said NHL Central Scouting director Dan Marr said. “He makes his mistakes, but we can see how he learns from the mistakes. And whenever he’s challenged in big games, he rises to the occasion.”

2. Nathan MacKinnon, centre, Halifax (QMJHL) MacKinnon raised his already sky-high stock with a standout performance in the Memorial Cup. He led all scorers with 13 points and recorded a hat trick in the championship game. MacKinnon is from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia — the same hometown as Sidney Crosby — and possesses vision and skills similar to those of the Penguins captain. Marr thinks MacKinnon’s competitive streak and separation speed set him apart.

“The one thing that stood out was just the explosiveness with his skating,” Marr said. “I can’t recall a player that can pull away that quickly with that much power.

3. Jonathan Drouin, left-winger, Halifax (QMJHL) Drouin is a top prospect because of his ability to read plays and react quickly. Add speed and a fast first step, and Drouin had 105 points en route to being named MVP of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Marr described Drouin’s hockey sense as “par excellence.”

“Any time he’s on the ice, he’s capable of being a game-changer,” Marr said. “That’s why he fits into that category where if somebody went and took him at No. 1 overall, nobody could say they were off the

wall doing that.”

4. Aleksander Barkov, centre, Tappara (Finland) More NHL ready than some other Europeans in the draft, Barkov is a strong two-way centre because he has already played against grown men. Hockey sense and offensive skill are just a couple of ingredients for the six-foot-two, 205-pound Finn. He dealt with a shoulder injury that ended his season, but it’s believed that won’t hurt his stock.

“These are guys that are hard to come by and they’re always in demand,” Marr said. “He’s a big, strong centreman that every team needs to build around and to complement a roster.”

5. Valeri Nichushkin, right-winger, Chelyabinsk 2 (Russia) Nichushkin caused a stir by saying he’d only come to North America next season if he’s playing in the NHL. Given his skill set, the power forward should be able to make that happen. Marr called Nichushkin a bit of a wild card in this draft, given the unknowns about him.

“This is a guy that he’s very hard to check when he’s driving to the net and he’s got speed, quickness and skills to be a top scorer in the National Hockey League,” Marr said. “Some people say when all is said and done, he may be one of the top forwards to come out of this draft.”

6. Darnell Nurse, defenceman, Sault Ste. Marie (OHL) His father was a CFL receiver, his uncle an NFL quarterback and his mother and two sisters basketball players, so it’s fair to say athleticism isn’t an issue for Nurse. Academics aren’t either, as he was named OHL scholastic player of the year. He uses his six-foot-four frame to his advantage on the blue-line.

Nurse has some offence to his game but is an imposing force in the defensive end.

“He’s the kind of guy who is not going to make a lot of mistakes,” said Chris Edwards of NHL Central Scouting. “He’s steady and solid, and you can trust him out there.”

7. Elias Lindholm, centre, Brynas (Sweden) Every Swedish centre seemingly gets compared to Peter Forsberg or Mats Sundin. Lindholm’s game is closer to Forsberg’s because he can make plays with

finesse while also possessing strength to get to the net. Lindholm was the youngest player on his team and was a finalist for rookie of the year. He had 11 goals and 19 assists, third on Brynas.

“He’s a complete package,” NHL director of European scouting Goran Stubb said. “He’s an excellent skater and great competitor who gives it 110 per cent on every shift.”

8. Sean Monahan, centre, Ottawa (OHL) An offensively gifted playmaker with plenty of size, Monahan learned tough lessons playing on an Ottawa 67’s team that went 16-46-6 this past season.

He was their leading scorer with 31 goals and stood out as a top-three vote-getter among OHL Eastern Conference coaches for smartest player, best playmaker, best stickhandler and best on faceoffs honours.

“Sean has high-end puck skills and playmaking ability,” Edwards said. “He has very good offensive instincts and creates offence every shift.”

9. Hunter Shinkaruk, left-winger/centre, Medicine Hat (WHL) What Shinkaruk doesn’t possess in size at fivefoot-10 and 181 pounds, the 18-year-old makes up for in excitement. The captain of the Medicine Hat Tigers had 37 goals and 49 assists this past season and was considered the second-best skater in the WHL behind only Jones. The Calgary native grew up idolizing Mike Modano.

“This kid is really exciting to watch,” said Peter Sullivan of NHL Central Scouting. “As soon as he touches the puck you go, ‘Wow, this is great.’ ” 10. Zachary Fucale, goaltender, Halifax (QMJHL) The Memorial Cup-winning goaltender went 16-1 in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoffs and led the league with 45 regular-season victories.

Tactically, he’s a goaltender who plays big in his net and has good body control. Mentally, though, he’s something special, according to Marr.

“I’ve never seen a goalie that I can remember that is so ultra-composed,” Marr said. “I don’t think you can fluster this guy. I was curious as to what his resting heart rate is when he’s standing in the net there. It looked like his pulse might be like 40 beats a minute.”

Top bargains and busts from previous NHL drafts When head of NHL central scouting Dan Marr worked for the Atlanta Thrashers, they drafted Boris Valabik 10th overall in 2004. The next player on their list was Travis Zajac.

Valabik has spent most of his career in the American Hockey League and Europe while Zajac has played seven seasons with the New Jersey Devils, who drafted him 20th overall that year.

“This is how things happen,” Marr said. “And drafting, in hindsight, is easy.”

Looking back makes some picks seem more foolish or genius than others. With the full benefit of hindsight, here’s a look at the five biggest bargains and busts in the last 20 years of the NHL draft:

Bargains ● Jonathan Quick, third round (No. 72) in 2005 to Kings Who are Pier-Olivier Pelletier and Kristofer Westblom? They were the goalies taken just ahead of Quick, who has a career 2.30 goals-against average and .929 save percentage in the playoffs and won the Conn Smythe Trophy last year for Los Angeles. It was a strong goalie draft that included Carey Price going fifth to the Canadiens and Tuukka Rask 21st to the Maple Leafs, but it’s impossible to find a better bargain than Quick. ● Daniel Alfredsson, sixth round (No. 133) in 1994 to Senators A captain for 13 of his 17 NHL seasons, Alfredsson became the symbol of the Ottawa Senators and led them to the Stanley Cup final in 2007. In a career that will probably lead him to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Alfredsson has put up 426 goals and 682 assists. He’s a veteran of 1,178 games and could clear 1,200 if he decides to return in 2013-14. ● Henrik Zetterberg, seventh round (No. 210) in 1999 to Red Wings Detroit general manager Ken Holland was able to bridge the gap from the Red Wings’ late-1990s Cup teams to the group that won in 2008 with draft picks like Zetterberg. In 2002, Holland took Valtteri Filppula in the third round and Jonathan Ericsson in the ninth round, and he picked Darren Helm in the fifth round three years later. But Zetterberg was even more important to the retooling. Zetterberg

won the Conn Smythe in 2008 and has 263 goals and 409 assists in 714 regularseason games, all with the Red Wings. ● Henrik Lundqvist, seventh round (No. 205) in 2000 to Rangers Picking goalies is even more of an imperfect science than skaters, especially those playing in Europe against different levels of competition. New York has had its fair share of misses, especially early in drafts, but it hit on Lundqvist in 2000. The Rangers had to wait until 2005 for the Swede to crack the NHL, but since then he has been one of the best goaltenders around.

Lundqvist won the Vezina Trophy in 2012 and was a finalist in 2013. ● Pavel Datsyuk, sixth round (No. 171) in 1998 to Red Wings Another Holland special, Datsyuk is regarded by some players as the best in a league that has Sidney Crosby, Steven Stamkos, Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin. A rookie when the Red Wings won in 2001-02, Datsyuk was more than a point-a-game player on the 2008 Cup team. In 11 seasons, he has 255 goals, 512 assists, three Selke Trophies, four Lady Byng Trophies and three all-star appearances.

CHICAGO — Bryan Bickell looks around and sees Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and the rest of a good young nucleus. He likes Chicago, and the Blackhawks are the only NHL team he has ever known.

He is looking forward to the celebration Friday for the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup title, and he wants more.

Bickell is eligible for unrestricted free agency and could cash in after coming up with a big post-season despite playing the last series against Boston with a sprained right knee that raised questions about if he would be able to play at all against the Bruins.

But the 27-year-old Bickell, drafted by Chi-

Hockey League. As the likes of Alec Martinez and Slava Voynov passed him on the organizational depth chart, Hickey never made it to the Kings. The Islanders claimed him off waivers in 2013, and only then did he make his NHL debut. ● Alexander Daigle, first round (No. 1) in 1993 to Senators After Ottawa took him, Daigle said, “I’m glad I got drafted first, because no one remembers No. 2.” Except this time. Defenceman Chris Pronger went on to win a Norris Trophy, a Hart Trophy and a Stanley Cup, while Daigle played just 616 games with 129 goals and 198 assists. Daigle’s regular-season production was respectable, though he had just two assists in 12 playoff games. Daigle will be remembered for being drafted first, but for all the wrong reasons.

Busts ● Al Montoya, first round (No. 6) in 2004 to Rangers It’s hard to blame GM Glen Sather for drafting a goalie so high in the 2004 draft after Mike Dunham and Jussi Markkanen split the starts the previous season with unspectacular results.

Montoya was highly touted for his play with the U.S. national team development program and then at the University of Michigan, but he couldn’t crack the Rangers’ roster. Mired in the minor leagues until making his NHL debut with the Coyotes in 2008, Montoya has most recently served as the Jets’ backup. ● Nikita Filatov, first round (No. 6) in 2008 to Blue Jackets Taken just after Alex Pietrangelo and Luke Schenn and just before Colin Wilson and Mikkel Boedker, Filatov stands out as the biggest bust in 2008 because he was considered a scorer and a strong two-way player. One scouting service called him “the next best thing to Steven Stamkos.” Stamkos won a scoring race, while Filatov finished his NHL career with six goals and eight assists in just 53 games.

Pending free agent Bickell says he wants to stay with Blackhawks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

● Patrik Stefan, first round (No. 1) in 1999 to Thrashers The indelible image of Stefan’s career came years after being drafted when playing for the Dallas Stars. All alone near an empty net, he missed it and turned the puck over. Seconds later, the Oilers scored to tie it. Stefan didn’t have a bad career: 455 games, 64 goals and 124 assists, but Atlanta did take him ahead of Daniel and Henrik Sedin. ● Thomas Hickey, first round (No. 4) in 2007 to Kings Los Angeles went off the board to take Hickey after a no-brainer top three of Patrick Kane, James van Riemsdyk and Kyle Turris. The Kings passed on Karl Alzner, Sam Gagner and Jakub Voracek to take a defenceman who was an offensive star for the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western

cago in 2004, wants to remain with the Blackhawks and says he is open to giving the team a discount in order to stay.

“That hometown discount, I think a lot of players that would (take) and there’s a lot of players have took it on our team to play for this team because it’s a great team,” Bickell said Thursday. “We have a great core of guys and we won two Cups in four years and there’s going to be many more to come, and I’m willing to do it because it’s fun and winning is fun.”

With the salary cap dropping to $64.3 million next season, it looked as if Bickell might have priced himself out of the Blackhawks’ reach after he had nine goals and eight assists in the postseason. The nine goals

matched Patrick Kane for second on the team and his 17 points were second only to 19 for Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy awarded to the MVP of the NHL playoffs.

Bickell provided a physical presence in front of the net that proved crucial in the march to the Stanley Cup, especially in the last two rounds against the Kings and Bruins.

He had the tying goal with 1:16 left in the third period of Chicago’s 3-2 win in Boston on Monday night that clinched the title.

“We’re going to do whatever it takes to keep me here,” said Bickell, from Bowmanville, Ontario.

“I enjoy this city. I think this is a second home to me.”

Hernandez denied bail on murder charge PROSECUTORS SAY EVIDENCE â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OVERWHELMINGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, DEFENSE SAYS CIRCUMSTANTIAL

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FALL RIVER, Mass. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A judge on Thursday denied bail for former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a friend.

Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer argued that Hernandez is not a risk to flee and the case against him is circumstantial.

But a prosecutor said the evidence is â&#x20AC;&#x153;overwhelming.â&#x20AC;? A search of a Hummer belonging to Hernandez turned up an ammunition clip matching the calibre of casings found at the scene of the killing of Odin Lloyd, the prosecutor said.

Lloydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was discovered by a jogger in a remote area of an industrial park not far from Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home 10 days ago. He has pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors called Lloydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killing an executionstyle shooting orchestrated by Hernandez because his friend talked to the wrong people at a nightclub.

Hernandez could face life in prison, if convicted.

Hernandez was cut from the NFL team less than two hours after he was arrested and led from his North Attleborough home in handcuffs, and nine days after Lloydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was discovered. The 2011 Pro Bowl selection had signed a five-year contract last summer with the Patriots worth $40 million.

Another man, Carlos Ortiz, 27, was arrested Wednesday in Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown of Bristol, Conn., as part of the murder investigation, New Britain Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Brian Preleski said Thursday. Ortiz was charged as a fugitive from justice and waived extradition to Massachusetts. Prison records show he is being held on $1.5 million bail at a Hartford jail.

Ortizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public defender, Alfonzo Sirica, declined to comment about the case.

In the meantime, police have been searching a third-floor unit in a condo complex in Franklin, Mass., that Hernandez had visited in recent weeks, according to the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next-door neighbour.

Condo resident Carol Bailey said that starting

Wednesday and continuing Thursday, police removed items from the modest, two-bedroom rental unit and asked her questions about its occupants.

She said a new tenant told her in May that he was moving in with his cousin, and she realized later that the second man he had referred to that way was the Patriots player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;This is Aaron Hernandez. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renting a place here so he can have some peace and quiet,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the retiree said Thursday.

The Ledgewood Condominiums resident said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the two men often, but Hernandez always had a hoodie pulled up when she saw him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all of us who recognized who it was didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to invade his privacy,â&#x20AC;? she said of neighbours.

Bailey said she believed a black Hummer with expired, temporary Ohio tags that was parked at the complex was driven by someone in the condo. She said police towed away the Hummer on Wednesday.

Lloyd, 27, a semi-pro football player with the Boston Bandits, had known Hernandez for about a year and was dating the sister of Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancee, the mother of Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8-month-old baby, Bristol County Assistant District Attorney Bill McCauley said.

On June 14, Lloyd went with Hernandez to the Boston nightclub Rumor. McCauley said Hernandez was upset Lloyd had talked to people there with whom Hernandez had trouble. He did not elaborate.

Two days later, McCauley said, Hernandez texted two unidentified friends and asked them to hurry to Massachusetts from Connecticut. At 9:05 p.m., a few minutes after the first message to his friends, Hernandez texted Lloyd to tell him he wanted to get together, McCauley said.

Later, surveillance footage from Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home showed his friends arrive and go inside. Hernandez, holding a gun, then told someone in the house he was upset and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust anyone anymore, the prosecutor said.

At 1:12 a.m. June 17, the three left in Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rented silver Nissan Altima, McCauley said. Cell towers tracked their movements to a gas station off

the highway. There, he said, Hernandez bought blue Bubblicious gum.

At 2:32 a.m., they arrived outside Lloydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Boston and texted him that they were there. McCauley said Lloydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister saw him get into Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car.

From there, surveillance cameras captured images of what the prosecutor said was Hernandez driving the silver Altima through Boston. As they drove back toward North Attleborough, Hernandez told Lloyd he was upset about what happened at the club and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust him, McCauley said. That was when Lloyd began sending texts to his sister.

Surveillance video showed the car entering the industrial park and at 3:23 a.m. driving down a gravel road near where Lloydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was found. Four minutes later, McCauley said, the car emerged. During that period, employees working an overnight shift nearby heard several gunshots, McCauley said.

McCauley said Lloyd was shot multiple times, including twice from above as he was lying on the ground. He said five .45-calibre casings were found at the scene.

Authorities did not say who fired the shots or identify the two others with Hernandez.

At 3:29 a.m., surveillance at Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house showed him arriving and walking through the house with a gun in his hand, McCauley said.

His friend is also seen holding a gun, and neither weapon has been found, McCauley said.

Then, the surveillance system stopped recording, and footage was missing from the six to eight hours after the slaying, he said.

The afternoon of June 17, the prosecutor said, Hernandez returned the rental car, offering the attendant a piece of blue Bubblicious gum when he dropped it off.

While cleaning the car, the attendant found a piece of blue Bubblicious gum and a shell casing, which he threw away. Police later searched the trash bin and found the gum and the casing. The prosecutor said it was tested and matched the casings found where Lloyd was killed.

Congressional playing like U.S. Open at AT&T National CASTRO LEADS AFTER FIRST ROUND, CANADIAN DELAET IS TWO-STROKES BACK IN THIRD

BETHESDA, Md. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roberto Castro missed the U.S. Open at Merion. It felt as if he was playing one Thursday in the AT&T National at Congressional.

The course that has hosted three U.S. Opens looked as though it could hold another in a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice. Only a dozen players shot in the 60s, with Castro leading the way at a 5-under 66 that required some of his best golf. He made three straight birdies late in his round with a 20-foot putt, a perfect 3-wood into a par 5 and a chip-in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very similar in that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of birdies out there,â&#x20AC;? Castro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not many good breaks or bad breaks to be had out there. If you drive it in the rough, you drove it in the rough. If you hit it in the fairway, you can go from there.â&#x20AC;?

The average score was just over 73, despite cloud cover for most of the day leading to soft conditions and only a light wind.

Billy Horschel, who tied for fourth in the real U.S. Open two weeks ago, began his day with a 50-foot birdie putt, added a pair of birdies over the

next three holes and then hung on for a 68. That was the best score among the early starters.

Bud Cauley and Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., each had a 68 in the afternoon.

DeLaet finished third at the Travelers Championship on Sunday. He was well ahead of his fellow Canadians after the first round at Bethesda.

Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brad Fritsch finished with a 1-over 72, just ahead of David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., and Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stephen Ames, who each finished with a 72. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like another U.S. Open,â&#x20AC;? Horschel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Off the fairways, the rough is thick.

Fortunately, the greens are soft so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really receptive.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a tough golf course.â&#x20AC;?

The eight players at 69 included Jim Furyk, 19-year-old Jordan Spieth and Brandt Snedeker, whose round included a birdie on the par-5 ninth hole in which he covered more than the 635 yards it was playing.

Snedeker snap-hooked his drive into the rough and was blocked by trees, leaving him no choice but to chip backward or play down the adjacent fourth hole. He hit hybrid down the fourth, and just his luck, wound up on the memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tee. From about

180 yards, he hammered a 6-iron through more trees, and the big roar told him he had reached the green. From there, he made a 55-foot birdie putt. Simple as that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kind of stealing a couple there is what it feels like,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Davis Love III had an 83 with a sore hip and then withdrew, not wanting to risk further injury. Rory Sabbatini withdrew with a sore back after he was 8 over in 12 holes.

Charlie Beljan had an 84.

Lucas Glover, a former U.S. Open champion, called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most boring round of PGA Tour golf Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard.â&#x20AC;?

Heard? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard two cheers across the whole golf course all morning,â&#x20AC;? Glover said after a hardearned 71. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They definitely werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for my group.â&#x20AC;?

There were no tricks at Congressional, and there certainly was no faking it. Masters champion Adam Scott hurt himself with an ordinary day by his standards off the tee and wound up with a 73. Hunter Mahan hit only six fairways â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the best drivers in golf â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and shot a 75.

Officials cut the rough Wednesday, though its thickness presented the bigger problem than the height of the

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tougher than Congressional was for the U.S. Open two years ago, when the course was relatively soft throughout the week. Rory McIlroy played better than anyone that week and won by eight shot at a record 16-under 268.

This was more of a grind.

Djokovic and Williams advance to third round WIMBLEDON

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Novak Djokovic of Serbia plays a return to Bobby Reynolds of the United States during their Men’s second round singles match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon, London, Thursday.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams restored a semblance of order to this wildest of Wimbledons.

A day after Roger Federer led a mass exodus of high-seeded players and favourites, the top-ranked man and woman sailed into the third round with straight-sets victories.

Djokovic defeated American qualifier Bobby Reynolds 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-1 under the retractable roof on Centre Court, a few hours after Williams beat French 19-year-old Caroline Garcia 6-3, 6-2.

In fact, after Wednesday’s series of shock upsets, there wasn’t a surprise to be had at the All England Club. The highest-seeded player to lose was No. 17 Milos Raonic of Canada, and there were just two injury retirements — compared to seven on Wednesday.

Instead, there was the familiar sight of covers being pulled over the courts as the rain arrived for the first time this week, forcing the closure of the roof and the suspension of a number of afternoon matches until Friday.

Having seen both Federer and Rafael Nadal knocked out in the first three days, Djokovic also faced surprisingly stiff resistance from Reynolds in the first set. However, he dominated the tiebreaker and had little trouble from there, breaking Reynolds twice in the second and third sets.

“I think the fact that the top players lost in the last few days gives enough reason for all of us to not underestimate any opponent,” Djokovic said.

“Everybody, especially lower ranked players in the opening rounds, have nothing to lose really when they go on the centre stage and they come up with their best game.”

In the process, Djokovic made this the worst Wimbledon for American men in more than a century.

Reynolds’ loss means none of the 11 in the tournament advanced past the second round, the first time that’s happened since 1912. There were no American men in the tournament that

year, although none reached the third round in 1911 either.

Reynolds said he hadn’t realized he was playing to avoid a historic slump.

“I don’t feel like I’m carrying the U.S. flag, I’m the lone guy left,” Reynolds said. “I just happened to play the last match on today, so... I actually wasn’t aware of it at all.”

Williams is still the favourite in the women’s draw, however, and will now go from playing an opponent 12 years her junior to facing one 11 years her senior.

Next up for the 31-year-old American is Japan’s Kimiko Date-Krumm, who at 42 became the oldest woman to reach the third round at Wimbledon in the Open era.

Date-Krumm beat Alexandra Cadantu of Romania 6-4, 7-5 to advance this far at Wimbledon for the first time since 1996, when she went to the semi-

42.”

Age certainly doesn’t seem to be slowing her down.

Williams broke twice in each set to extend her career-best winning streak to 33 matches as she aims for a sixth Wimbledon title. Her two main rivals, Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka, were among those eliminated on Wednesday.

Last year’s runner-up, Agnieszka Radwanska, also breezed into the next round with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Mathilde Johansson of France which had to be completed under the roof.

In the men’s draw, seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych and No. 8 Juan-Martin Del Potro advanced in straight sets.

Berdych, the 2010 runner-up, beat Daniel Brands of Germany 7-6 (6), 6-4, 6-2.

Del Potro rallied from a break down in the second set to oust Jesse Levine of Canada 6-3, 7-6 (7), 6-3.

finals.

“I have so much respect for her,” said Williams, who herself became the third-oldest woman in the Open era to win a Grand Slam tournament when she captured this year’s French Open.

“I think she’s so inspiring to be playing such high level tennis at her age. And she’s a real danger on the grass court, I know that. I definitely will have to be ready.”

Date-Krumm is the second-oldest woman to have won a match at Wimbledon after Martina Navratilova, who was 47 when she reached the second round in 2004. She took a 12-year break from tennis before returning in 2008.

“I don’t know how she’s able to do so well,” said Williams, adding she doesn’t expect to be around for another 10 years.

“I didn’t see myself playing at 31. I definitely do not see myself playing at

LONDON — Milos Raonic didn’t mince words when describing his latest early exit from the All England club.

Raonic was eliminated in the second round at Wimbledon on Thursday as he dropped a 7-5, 6-4, 7-6 (4) decision to Igor Sijsling of the Netherlands.

The loss left Montreal’s Eugenie Bouchard as the last remaining Canadian player in singles competition. She beat Ana Ivanovic on Wednesday to advance to the third round.

Sijsling needed just over two hours to complete the straight-sets victory over Raonic.

“At one stage I lost 12 points in a row — pathetic,” Raonic said.

“When I did have chances he played well and I couldn’t do what I wanted to do. Wimbledon’s still my favourite tournament. It’s me that’s the problem, not the court.”

Raonic had opportunities to break Sijsling in the second set and get back into the match, but the hard-serving Dutch native had an answer every time. The No. 17 seed from Thornhill, Ont., has now lost in the second round here in all three career appearances at the Grand Slam event. After winning just a single match over the short grass-court season, Raonic will look ahead to the summer hardcourt campaign most suited to his big-hitting game.

He said he’s looking forward to a short break before getting in his first long-term training with new coach Ivan Ljubicic.

“It will be three weeks of hard work, I’m looking forward to it, he said. ”I know I can gain confidence from working on my game. I want to get things right.“ Earlier in the day, Ottawa’s Jesse Levine dropped a 6-2, 7-6 (7), 6-3 decision to eighth-seeded Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina.

The loss prevented Levine from equalling his best career Grand Slam result. He reached the third round in 2009.

‘Terrible’ Scout became a singer ARROGANT WORMS BAND MEMBER, BANDMATES PART OF PERFORMERS FOR JAMBOREE

PIPES AND DRUM BAND The Royal Canadian Artillery Pipes and Drums Band will perform at the Red Deer Legion Branch No. 35 on Tuesday. Pipes, drums, vocals and Celtic music will be part of the performance.

The event starts at 7:30 p.m. The band provides music for parades and ceremonial occasions, formal concerts, government concerts and special events. For more details, call 3420035. The Red Deer Legion is located at 2810 Bremner Ave.

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF In the pages of the six planned editions of the Scouts Canada Jamboree newspaper, there may be some highlights from the performances by the Arrogant Worms.

During his short tenure as a Scout, Arrogant Worms band member Trevor Strong was “pretty terrible at it.”

“I think I got three badges in two years or something,” said Strong, adding he couldn’t remember which badges he earned.

“I just didn’t have the badge fever.”

But he and his bandmates are set to perform the Scouts Jamboree at Camp Woods near Sylvan Lake this July with the Abrams Brothers.

Known for comedy and Canadiana, the Arrogant Worms sing about everything from Mounties to Saskatchewan pirates to the vastness of their home and native land.

Strong, who is one of the band’s singers

and songwriters, said they have done a couple of shows for Scouts over the years, including a performance for a Windsor troop and once at the British Columbia provincial Jamboree.

“I guess we’ve been working our way up the ranks,” said Strong.

“Apparently some of our songs are popular at campfires. I think the simplicity of our songs and our lack of ability to write more than three chords has paid off around the campfire.”

The Ottawa native said the show would be one to remember because it would be different, having a sea of Scouts to perform for.

“They all kind of know the songs, but I’m ever sure which songs they know,” said Strong. “Sometimes they sing along all of a sudden and you’re not expecting it.”

Throughout the Jamboree week, Scouts and a few adults will become newspeople as they produce six editions of a newspaper.

Sheila Carruthers-Forget, public relations team lead for the Jamboree, said the editions will range from eight to 12 pages and will be published every weekday the Scouts are at the Jamboree.

“It’s called the News-asaurus and we have lots of great young writers who are writing lots of stories and I have photographers taking pictures every day,” said Carruthers-Forget.

There will be a paper published the Friday before everyone arrives, July 5, then editions published July 8 to 12.

“On the Friday (July 12) we do the last edition,” said Carruthers-Forget. “It will be a sort of commemorative edition, pulling together the great things that have been going on all week at camp.”

These newspapers will be printed by the Red Deer Advocate.

The Scouts Canada Jamboree runs July 6 to 13. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

READ AROUND THE WORLD Teens and some tweens can bring their tackiest tourist garb to create a terrifying tacky outfit on Wednesday.

The event will kick off the Read Around the World summer reading program at Red Deer Public Library. The event runs from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in the Snell Gallery. It is open to 12-to-18-year-olds.

Participants can bring brightly coloured clothing, awesomely ugly Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts and huge sunglasses, fanny packs and knee socks to create the tackiest look for a summer poster shoot for the reading program. International munchies and Wii dance classics will round out the event.

The library is located at 4818 49th St. For more details, call 403-3467470.

The Culture section of Report on Central Alberta should have stated with contributions from Diana Anderson of the Red Deer Arts Council.

Also, a photo caption mistakenly connected the Kiwanis Gallery in the Red Deer Public Library, which is operated by the Red Deer Arts Council, with the Kiwanis Club, which does not actually fund the gallery.

New CEO to take charge at Red Deer Public Library

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Information may be everywhere but libraries are in no way obsolete, says Red Deer Public Library’s new CEO. Christina Wilson said some people are shocked when they hear she works at a library.

They wonder how such facilities can continue to exist when the Internet is such a handy tool.

“It’s true everything is online, but frankly, information is very siloized. If ever there was a time and need for people to know how to navigate and to help people connect, this is the time.

Christina Wilson “The fact that there’s more stuff out there doesn’t mean anyone can access it. Knowing how to access information is still a core skill here and the staff here are well skilled in that area,” said Wilson, who sat down for an interview at Red Deer’s downtown library branch on Thursday.

Wilson starts her new position in August. She replaces Dean Frey, who is retiring at the end of this month after 24 years in the job.

Wilson comes to Red Deer after working as the manager of information technology for Cambridge Libraries and Galleries, a large urban public library

We saved you a seat.

system in Ontario, and as a past president of the Ontario Public Library Association.

She was the associate director of public services for Lethbridge Public Library before working as interim director at Beaumont Library.

She said libraries were very early to adopt technology, including the Internet, and will continue do so.

“The Internet is what every librarian has ever wanted. We know how valuable it can be, how efficient it can be, and basically we want to deliver the right answers as quickly as possible to save people time.

“And it doesn’t have to be an important topic. It can just be your whim. That niche piece of information.”

Libraries have not left books behind, nor the many other resource materials on its shelves.

But there is a push towards updating and taking full advantage of appropriate technology, she said.

“It’s got to be what the community actually wants and needs.

“Public libraries are about people.”

She said it’s not so important to bring people into a library building nowadays because many of its resources can be accessed online at work, at school and at home.

Wilson said there’s no doubt that people lead busy lives.

“Who has time for a refreshment of their own spirit?

“That’s what the library, I think, can deliver.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Lacombe County will boots its participation in a river weed control program despite a move by Ponoka County to back out of the initiative.

Ponoka County withdrew its support as a protest against the province’s gradual funding reductions for the $19,400 program, which is also funded by Red Deer County.

In 2012, the province contributed $2,500 to control weeds, such as scentless chamomile, in the Blindman and Red Deer Rivers.

However, municipalities have long argued that most of the weed control takes place on Crown lands, yet the province pays the second smallest share.

Ponoka County’s agricultural services board voted in April to pull out of the partnership to send a message to the province.

Rather than cut back or drop this year’s program, Lacombe and Red Deer County staff recommended they share the $6,500 shortfall left in the budget

by Ponoka County’s departure.

The 10 days of weed control planned in Ponoka County would be dropped.

Last year, Ponoka County contributed $6,450, Lacombe County $8,292 and Red Deer County $1,843.

Council voted unanimously to split the cost and to send a letter to the province asking why it is “not willing to provide adequate noxious weed control along provincial waterways.”

Coun. Rod McDermand questioned whether it was a good idea to abandon weed control in Ponoka County because that is where a lot of weeds go to seed.

BRIEFS Lacombe County donates money for Joffre rink Outdoor hockey in Joffre is about to get a lot better.

Lacombe County council agreed on Thursday to a $125,000 donation, that together with $302,000 from Nova Chemicals, will be enough to go ahead with plans to build a new outdoor rink and multi-use facility.

Joffre Community Society, an organization around since the 1930s, recently approached the county for funding help when a hoped-for provincial grant didn’t come through.

Tim Timmons, the county’s manager of corporate services, said the project falls within the kinds of initiatives the county has supported in the past and recommended approval.

The money will come from a $4.27-million recreation capital assistance reserve fund.

Coun. Paula Law voted against the project.

Numerous people from the area are skeptical of the need for a full-sized rink and doubted it would be well used, she said.

Coun. Brenda Knight said the society has worked hard on the project and it should be supported.

“And you know I hope the naysayers are proved wrong.”

Coun. Cliff Soper said the existing rink is under-

sized and is in a dangerous location. Rink lights interfere with traffic on nearby Secondary Hwy 815, he said.

The rink will also have courts for summer sports and can be used for in-line skating.

Supporting initiatives in smaller communities makes a statement to county residents, said Coun.

Rod McDermand.

“I think it’s important that we make the statement that we’re not just here for the larger communities.”

The county previous agreed to contribute $58,000 in in-kind donations. Construction is expected to start this year.

Innisfail man charged after fight outside bar An Innisfail man faces several charges after another man was injured outside a bar in the town.

Innisfail RCMP say that on Saturday at about 2 a.m., answered a complaint of a hit-and-run with a pedestrian.

Police say that a verbal altercation between a group of pedestrians and the occupants of a sport utility vehicle, in a parking lot near drinking establishments in Innisfail, escalated.

The driver of a parked SUV allegedly accelerated, completed a circle around the pedestrians and struck one of the males.

The vehicle then sped from the scene.

An injured male was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Police later found the suspect vehicle behind a residence in Innisfail. The vehicle was seized and the suspected driver was later located and arrested.

The accused, James Allen Duchesne, 22, of Innisfail, faces charges of aggravated assault, dangerous

driving causing bodily harm and failure to stop at the scene of a collision.

He has been released and is to scheduled to attend Red Deer provincial court.

Calgary prosecutors take over shooting case Crown prosecutors from the Calgary special prosecutions team have taken over the case of two men charged with attempted murder.

Cameron Monkman, 28, and Daniel Huddlestone, 34, both face attempted murder charges and police believe the two are a part of a motorcycle gang known as the Malicious Crew Motorcycle Club.

RCMP said on June 3 that a man suffering gunshot wounds was found walking near Sylvan Lake. Sylvan Lake RCMP, with the assistance of the RCMP serious crime branch and forensic identification and dog units, investigated arrested Huddlestone and Monkman in relation to the incident.

Both were in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday.

Although Monkman was released on June 12 on a $2,000 cash bail, Huddlestone remains in police custody and appeared by closed circuit television from the Red Deer Remand Centre.

Because Calgary special prosecutions is taking over the file, Huddestone’s bail hearing was rescheduled to Friday in Calgary at 12:30 p.m.

Judge W. Albert Skinner set the matter to return to Red Deer provincial court on July 9 at 9:30 a.m. after Huddlestone’s bail had been spoken to.

LUNCH AT THE FARM

LACOMBE COUNTY

County officials oppose closure of bridges would only be a last resort and would not happen without public consultation. By including it in the plan, a process for closing bridges is clearly laid out.

As it stands now, council has the authority to close a bridge without going to the public for comment.

“I think people have more protection by having that there than by removing it,” Hager said.

The policy is being developed to provide direction on how to oversee the county’s aging inventory of 148 major bridges, standard bridges and nearly culverts.

About half the inventory is at least 50 years old.

The province recently announced it was eliminating a program to provide funding help for bridge replacement, leaving municipalities to carry the load.

Council voted to adopt the bridge plan. Stephenson and Kreil voted against.

A Lacombe County bridge policy that says closing some crossings may be considered as a last resort, didn’t sit well with some councillors.

Dana Kreil said closing bridges should never be an option and wanted it pulled out of the proposed Bridge Management Plan.

She questioned how closing bridges could ever be justified in a municipality with healthy multimillion-dollar reserve funds.

“I’m totally against having the word ‘closure’ there,” said Kreil during debate at a county council meeting on Thursday.

There are other options that could be pursued rather than closing down bridges, she added.

Coun. Keith Stephenson was also opposed any suggestion that closure was an option.

“If we start closing bridges, I think we are getting away from our strategic plan and vision,” he said.

Rona closing stores Rona plans to close 11 of its moneylosing stores in two provinces, as well as cut more administrative jobs and trim its marketing budget in an effort to boost its financial results. After years of efforts to address eroding profits, newly-installed CEO Robert Sawyer said his restructuring plan creates a simplified business structure and a more agile company.

Investors welcomed Rona’s latest move, sending the company’s shares up nearly eight per cent to $10.47 in Thursday trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Of the store closures, eight are in Ontario and three are in British Columbia. The three B.C. stores — in Duncan, Kamloops and Abbotsford — will shut down in October.

Samsung puts curve in OLED televisions After delays, Samsung Electronics Co. rolled out Thursday a curved TV that uses an advanced display called OLED. The 55-inch TV will sell for 15 million won ($13,000) in South Korea, more than five times the cost of LCD televisions of the same size. But Kim Hyunsuk, the executive vicepresident of Samsung’s TV division, said the company is optimistic about demand for the high-end TV. “OLED is about picture quality,” Kim said. “We are sure that we realized the perfect picture quality.” It remains to be seen if consumers will be willing to pay a premium for enhanced imagery. The TV industry has been struggling to excite interest with its latest technologies. Samsung is not the first to introduce a curved TV using OLED. In May, its rival LG Electronics Inc., the second-biggest TV maker, launched a 55-inch curved TV in South Korea.

LG’s model, which also sells for 15 million won, is not sold outside South Korea.

Flooded vehicles collected BUT AMA CAUTIONS BUYERS TO BE VIGILANT WHEN BUYING USED VEHICLES

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy last year, there were reports of water-damaged vehicles being sold to unsuspecting buyers.

Thousands of cars and trucks were swallowed by Southern Alberta flood waters last week, but Randy Loyk, manager of technical services with the Alberta Motor Association, doesn’t expect any of these to be sold fraudulently.

“I would be really shocked if they are,” he said. “From what I hear, they’re just pulling them all into a staging area right now.”

From there, Loyk expects them to be written off and hauled to auto wreckers and scrap yards.

“These vehicles are damaged so badly that it’s going to take too much to get them back into shape.

“They’re not just waterlogged, but there’s silt and everything else.”

Steve Kee, director of media relations with the Insurance Bureau of Canada, estimates that 80 per cent of Alberta vehicles have comprehensive insurance that would cover flood damage.

Many of those damaged by the recent weather event will be written off and removed permanently from the road, he said.

“There may be some parts that can be reused but they’re not going to re-purpose a vehicle.”

Still, both Loyk and Kee urge consumers to be vigilant when buying a used car or truck.

That starts with a VIN (vehicle identification number) check that will indicate if the vehicle has been written off. The

Loyk also recommends an inspection by a qualified professional, who should spot signs of water damage.

For those who want to perform their own checks, Kee offers some tips.

“If you look for water stains, or sand or silt under the carpets or floor mats, that

might be an indication it’s been flooded.

Look for fading on the upholstery; look for rust on some of the screws around the consoles; look for mud and grit, especially around the spare tire. Those are areas where people don’t think of necessarily cleaning them.”

Stitches, snacks at Sew Savvy

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR There are cafés where you can surf the Internet, and cafés where you can read books. But Carrie White isn’t aware of any where you can hem a skirt or sew a pillowcase — except for hers.

White operates Sew Savvy Café at No. 103, 4916 Ross St. There, visitors will find a coffee bar with a variety of snacks, but also sewing machines, an ironing board, and a cutting and measuring table.

Open since April, Sew Savvy Café offers private and group sewing classes.

Sewing machines are also available for rent by the hour or day, with White or another skilled seamstress available to provide support as needed.

The café also sells fabrics, with a focus on natural and organic materials like merino wool, hemp and bamboo. White said she hopes to develop the largest selection of exotic fibres in the province.

The food offerings at the café are also different, she pointed out.

Lacombe County approves new industrial park Lacombe County has approved rezoning to make way for a new industrial park west of Blackfalds.

Zoning was changed to industrial from agricultural on 130 acres of pasture land for the new 15-lot industrial park.

It will be located next to what is known as McLevin’s Industrial Park.

Council also approved subdivision of the property, subject to 27 conditions being met.

“What makes it a little unique is I offer a large quantity of gluten-free.”

The origins of Sew Savvy Café date back nearly two years, when White started dropping into the Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter with a sewing machine. She thought she could help residents there learn a new skill and build their self-esteem.

“It went amazing. There were women and children of all ages.”

Before long, she was visiting the shelter weekly with three sewing machines. And the idea of a sewing-themed café came to her.

White was able to develop the concept when she entered the 2012 RED Challenge, an entrepreneurial competition organized by Red Deer College, Red Deer Regional Economic Development, the City of Red Deer, Alberta Innovations, and Community Futures Central Alberta. She was named a finalist.

After operating in nearby space belonging to the Women’s Emergency Shelter, White decided to set up Sew Savvy Café at its current location — which was previously occupied by One Island Caribbean & African Restaurant.

Please see CAFÉ on Page C4

Lots will range in size from 2.8 acres to just under 18 acres.

It will be developed in one phase beginning this summer.

The site is about eight km west of Blackfalds off Aspelund Road.

The property is located within the county’s Hwy 2 West Area Structure Plan, which identifies the area as suitable for industrial and commercial development.

The working name of the industrial park is South Aspelund Industrial Park.

However, Keegan McLevin, who owns the neighbouring park, has raised concerns that giving the adjacent parks different names could create confusion.

Coun. Rod McDermand also foresees problems if each quarter section is given a different name as it is developed.

County manager of planning services Dale Freitag said staff were aware of the issue and expect to come back to council with naming options.

Alberta business owners swam against a national wave of pessimism last month, according to a survey conducted by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

The CFIB, which represents 109,000 small business owners across Canada, calculated Alberta’s confidence index in June at 68.6 out of 100. That was down just 0.2 percentage points from the previous survey in May. In April, the provincial figure was 65.3.

Canada-wide, the average business confidence rating fell to 59.4, down from 62.1 in May. That marked the fourth consecutive monthly decline, and pushed the national index to its lowest level since July 2009.

“The good news is the confidence level among entrepreneurs in our province is holding steady,” said Richard Truscott, the CFIB’s Alberta director.

“The bad news, obviously, is the large drop in the national confidence numbers that appears to be driven by weakening domestic demand.”

Alberta continues to have the most optimistic small business owners in the country, with Saskatchewan next at 67.3, followed

by Newfoundland and Labrador at 66.3, British Columbia at 65.6, New Brunswick at 59.2, Ontario at 56.8, Quebec at 55.3, Nova Scotia at 53.6 and Prince Edward Island at 53.3.

“We’ll have to wait for next month’s results to see the impact the floods in Southern Alberta will have on the optimism of our province’s business owners,” said Truscott.

The CFIB said a confidence index between 65 and 75 means the economy is growing at its potential.

High Arctic contracts extended High Arctic Energy Services Inc. (TSX: HWO) has had the contracts for two of its drilling rigs and related services in Papua New Guinea extended for three years.

The new contracts, with Oil Search Ltd., are expected to be signed in early July.

High Arctic said in a release that a liquefied natural gas facility in Papua New Guinea is expected to come on stream next year, and that this will provide a boost to the industry.

The contract extensions should position the company to participate in this activity, it said.

High Arctic operates three rigs in Papua New Guinea, plus support equipment, including camps. The third rig is under contract until May 2014.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market racked up a modest gain Thursday as commodity prices moved mainly higher and consumer, housing and employment data pointed to a stronger U.S. economy.

The S&P/TSX composite index gained 53.88 points to 12,005.78.

After markets closed, regulators announced the approval of a revised bid by Bell (TSX:BCE) to acquire Astral Media (TSX:ACM.A) and its suite of TV speciality channels and radio stations in a deal worth $3.4 billion.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission said the revised bid — in which Bell agreed to sell some of Astral’s specialty TV channels and radio stations — satisfied its concerns that the company would be too dominant in the market.

BCE shares closed up about one per cent prior to the announcement, while Astral shares gained 13 cents to $48.24.

The Canadian dollar edged up 0.04 of a cent to 95.47 cents US. New York indexes also advanced as the Dow Jones industrials gained 114.35 points to 15,024.49, the Nasdaq ran ahead 25.64 points to 3,401.86 and the S&P 500 index climbed 9.94 points to 1,613.2.

The U.S. Commerce Department said American consumer spending rose 0.3 per cent last month while incomes rose 0.5 per cent in May, the biggest gain since February.

The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs — fell 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 346,000. The four-week average, a less volatile figure, declined to a near five-year low of 345,750.

Also, the number of people who signed contracts to buy U.S. homes jumped in May to the highest level in more than six years.

Buying sentiment also improved after data released Wednesday showed weaker-than-expected U.S. growth in the first quarter, which raised hopes the Fed would be in no hurry to cut back on its US$85 billion of bond purchases each month. Figures showed the U.S. economy grew at a 1.8 per cent annualized rate in the first quarter, instead of the previous estimate of 2.4 per cent.

On the TSX, the base metals component was ahead 2.4 per cent as July copper rose two cents to US$3.06 a pound. Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) climbed 48 cents to C$22.24 while First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM) advanced 60 cents to

$15.25.

The gold sector gained about two per cent as bullion prices continued to falter with the August contract down $18.20 to a three-year low of US$1,211.60 an ounce amid continued speculation about when the Federal Reserve may ease up on its monthly bond purchases. Gold prices have deteriorated steadily this year as the precious metal loses its appeal as a hedge against inflation and deteriorating currencies. Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) advanced 45 cents to C$23.85.

The consumer discretionary sector pushed up 1.6 per cent. Aimia (TSX:AIM), the company that runs the Aeroplan customer loyalty program, says it’s prepared to replace CIBC (TSX:CM) as its bank credit card partner at the end of this year unless it matches contractual terms offered

by TD Bank (TSX:TD). CIBC says it’s reviewing the proposed terms to see if it will exercise its right of first refusal and that it will continue the Aeroplan business as usual in the meantime.

CIBC rose 28 cents to $75.31 while Aimia gained $1.48 or 10.63 per cent to $15.40.

The energy sector was ahead 0.3 per cent as the strong American data improved demand prospects and sent the August crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange up $1.55 to US$97.05 a barrel. Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) improved by 40 cents to C$30.84.

The tech sector was also supportive with MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates rising $1.87 to $70.34. But BlackBerry (TSX:BB) shed 58 cents or 3.7 per cent to $15.05, a day before the smartphone maker releases its quarterly earnings.

The telecom sector continued to lose ground in the wake of a report that American telecom giant Verizon Communications could be set to compete with the established Canadian players in the wireless business.

The sector fell heavily Wednesday after the Globe and Mail reported that Verizon is looking at two of Canada’s smaller wireless network operators. It has reportedly made an initial offer of $700 million for Wind Mobile and is starting talks with Mobilicity.

Rogers Communications fell a further $1.32 or 3.17 per cent to $40.35 after tumbling nine per cent Wednesday.

The mood on markets was further improved as interbank lending rates in China continued to ease after a pledge earlier in the week by authorities to shore up banks facing cash shortfalls.

STORY FROM PG C3

CAFÉ: Socialization, skills training In addition to continuing her relationship with the shelter, she has made arrangements to work with other social agencies. White wants her café to provide important socialization opportunities, as well as skills training.

Members of the public are an important part of her clientele, she said, especially young mothers. Sew Savvy Café even has a children’s play area.

“No sewing experience required,” she said of her students. “You don’t have to know how to sew to make something.”

White, who also does alterations and custom work, hopes to tap into the vast sewing knowledge of local seniors.

“There are lots of seniors and there are lots of young mothers who are out there on their own. We sincerely need to benefit from each other’s experiences.”

She pointed out that many young people have no training in what was once a right of passage for every girl.

And she thinks that’s unfortunate.

“They’re losing the concept of where things come from, which is what I also want to bring back to the people who come in here.”

Sewing since she was 16, White moved to Red Deer from her native Oklahoma six years ago to be with her now-husband.

“I come from a family of seamstresses,” she said. “My great-grandmother survived the depression with her sewing skills, along with her midwife skills.”

Sew Savvy Café is open Tuesday to

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Incentives from automakers have boosted Canadian sales of light vehicles and put the country on track to hit an annual sales record this year, according to a Scotiabank report issued Thursday.

Canadian passenger vehicle sales averaged a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.75 million units in April and May, well above the bank’s previous full-year forecast, it said.

“As a result, we are increasing our 2013 Canadian passenger vehicle sales forecast to a record 1.72 million units from 1.69 million,” Scotiabank said in its monthly report on the global auto industry.

The estimate assumes that automakers will maintain current incentives through the end of 2013, it added.

Globally, Scotiabank says auto sales grew at a 3.5 per cent pace year-year in May, down from an average growth rate of five per cent in the previous four months.

The slower sales gains reflected a recent softening in Eastern Europe, especially Russia, as well as in India,

along with ongoing declines in the countries that use the euro currency.

Outside of these regions, activity remained strong, led by double-digit gains in South America, particularly Brazil, and in China.

However, the bank says the pace of growth in Brazil is likely to moderate in coming months as a result of 75-basis-point increase in interest rates since late last year and high inflation.

Auto loan rates in Brazil have climbed by more than a percentage point since March and now exceed 20 per cent, it said.

Meanwhile, despite a weakening in China’s economic momentum, Scotiabank said its continues to expect a 10 per cent increase in vehicle sales in China this year as employment growth and urban income growth show no sign of abating.

Of particular interest is data from IHS Automotive showing crossover utility vehicle sales have been posting explosive growth in China in recent years, including a 20 per cent surge in 2012 — triple the increase in China in car sales — to 2.5 million units.

Banking union deal gives EU leaders a boost THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BRUSSELS, Belgium — A hard-fought deal on how to pay for future bank bailouts gave European Union leaders a boost going into a summit Thursday, injecting credibility into their efforts to end the spiral of financial and economic troubles.

But other challenges await the 27 EU leaders, who will hold talks in Brussels through Friday.

Unemployment is at a record high across the bloc, particularly for the young, who have been disproportionately punished by years of crisis and recession. Germany has dashed hopes of investing any new money to ease the problem.

Meanwhile, a growing dispute between France and the EU leadership in Brussels is highlight-

ing divisions between Europeans and their decision-makers.

The EU leaders will take stock of progress on the bloc’s financial and economic policies just hours after their finance ministers reached a breakthrough, middleof-the-night deal determining who will pay for future bank bailouts, so that taxpayers don’t have to.

This is a key step toward establishing a socalled banking union for Europe, aimed at restoring stability after a tumultuous few years that have dragged down the global economy.

The set of rules determines the order in which investors and creditors will have to take losses when a bank is restructured or shut down, with a taxpayer-funded bailout being only a limited last resort.

“That’s a major shift from the public means, from the taxpayer if you will, back to the financial sector itself which will now become for a very, very large extent responsible for dealing with its own problems,” said Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem.

A year ago, EU leaders pledged to tackle the eurozone’s financial crisis by introducing a banking union. That would hand the supervision and rescue of banks to European institutions rather than leaving weaker member states to fend for themselves.

The project has stalled on many fronts, notably because richer countries fear they might have to pay for the banking woes of weaker countries. But Thursday’s breakthrough offered new hope by establishing clear rules.

Glendale Skate Park

Ollies We are totally stoked for the skate park to open, and we are throwing a sick party to get things rolling.

SILT: Where to look Loyk agreed that silt is probably the best thing to look for, especially inside cracks and crevices.

“It’s going to be impossible to clean the silt, absolutely impossible.”

Anyone who neglects to perform their due diligence and ends up with a water-damaged vehicle in their garage faces a variety of potential problems, especially with the vehicle’s electrical system and driveline components, said Loyk.

“They’ll show up eventually.”

He added that there’s also the potential for trouble if you buy parts salvaged from flood write-offs, although most auto wreckers are careful and provide limited warranties.

“Hopefully it shouldn’t be a big concern.”

In his experiences, said Loyk, it’s rare for flooded vehicles to hit the market.

“There are very few that we see that show up.”

Rich Anderson of Red Deer Motors tells a similar story.

“I’ve never had a problem in the past,” he said, adding, however, that the occasional unscrupulous seller will try to try to sell a vehicle with hidden damage.

“With today’s technology, I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to be able to slip through the cracks.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Strong policy no guarantee of pipeline approval CONSERVATIVE POLICIES COULD IMPACT ‘NET EFFECTS’ IN KEYSTONE PIPELINE DEBATE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Harper government’s long-delayed environmental regulations for the oil and gas sector could be a key card in the high-stakes poker game surrounding President Barack Obama’s decision on the Keystone XL pipeline.

Or not.

Like everything else surrounding the pipeline approval, Obama’s latest public pronouncement is shrouded in ambiguity and is being read different ways, depending who you ask.

Analysts on both side of the border appear to agree on one thing: Strong Canadian government policy may not be able to guarantee U.S. approval of the pipeline, but a lacklustre environmental approach doesn’t help.

Obama framed the debate over Keystone XL, a pipeline that would carry Alberta’s oilsands bitumen to refineries on the Gulf Coast, as a matter of U.S. “national interest” defined by cli-

mate change.

“And our national interest will be served only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution,” the president said.

“The net effects of the pipeline’s impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward.”

Obama didn’t define whether those “net effects” were national, continental or global.

But coupled with comments in February by David Jacobson — the departing U.S. ambassador to Canada — that Obama’s environmental challenge extends to policy-makers north of the 49th parallel, the speech could be seen as another prod for Canada to get its ducks in a row.

Fen Hampson, director of the global security program at the Centre for International Governance Innovation in Waterloo, Ont., said Keystone approval will require “more than one move and a lot of political precision in this in-

MacKay wants to stay on as defence minister

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Defence Minister Peter MacKay says rumours of his political demise are greatly exaggerated.

With a cabinet shuffle expected in the coming weeks, Ottawa has been alive with speculation that MacKay is about to be shuffled out of cabinet or is planning a jump to a private-sector job. Not so, the minister said.

“I’ve been hearing that almost since the day I entered public life — that I was leaving. My focus is very much on my family but also on my broader responsibilities as an MP and a minister,” MacKay said in an interview.

MacKay said he knows he serves in cabinet at the pleasure of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and added he has had no discussions about a portfolio shift.

MacKay said the recent birth of his first child, a son, has changed his view of the world, but not his commitment to public service.

“There’s no question that anyone who’s had a newborn enter their life recognizes that your priorities inevitably shift towards care and love for that child. So you see the world almost through a new set of eyes,” he said.

“With that in mind, I’m also cognizant of the fact that I got into politics to try to serve my community, my province, my country. And that includes my son.”

MacKay said that not only does he

want to stay in politics, he’d like to stay on as defence minister, a role he described as the best job he’s ever had.

“I love it, interacting with the best Canadians I’ve ever met — the Canadian Forces,” he said. “It’s the thrill of a lifetime. The single greatest honour I’ve had in public life is working with the Canadian Forces.”

MacKay was speaking after an event at the Ottawa airport to announce the start of the delivery of a new fleet of Chinook helicopters.

Military procurements have offered their share of political headaches to many a defence minister, and MacKay has been no exception.

The auditor general offered a scathing indictment of the long-running F-35 stealth fighter saga that ultimately led to the Defence Department losing control over procurement to the Department of Public Works.

The current delays in replacing the navy’s fleet of maritime helicopters pre-date the Conservatives’ rise to power in 2006 by more than a decade.

MacKay was a key player in the founding of the current Conservative party, which represents a merger of the old Progressive Conservatives, which he led, and the Canadian Alliance, which Harper led.

MacKay became Harper’s first foreign minister, serving for a year, until he was moved to defence in 2007, where he has become one of the longest serving ministers in one of the toughest portfolios.

creasingly complicated game.”

“I think it fair to say Canada may to have to move on its long-promised oil and gas regulations, which has been long on promise and short on delivery, to help seal the deal and give the president some cover should he decide to approve it,” Hampson said in an email.

Paul Frazer, a former Canadian diplomat who was seconded briefly to the office of Conservative prime minister Kim Campbell and now is a consultant on energy and resource policy in Washington, framed Canadian policy in a more defensive posture.

“The administration didn’t want the president to be in a situation where he had to defend Canada or things Canadian in any way,” Frazer said in an interview.

Ottawa got the message and has responded with a series of policy announcements, said Frazer, including this week’s new rules on increased pipeline liability and stiffer penalties for infractions.

He says the oil and gas regulations won’t be a deal-maker or breaker.

“Certainly I’m confident that any conclusions reached by the State Department don’t hinge on that particular aspect of what’s going on in Canada,” said Frazer, who puts American public opinion and debate atop the critical criteria.

Chris Sands, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington, has a similar take.

“I agree that President Obama has been looking for a formula that would allow him to approve the Keystone pipeline and placate his environmentalist supporters,” said Sands.

“That said, I think that at the moment this is a trial balloon, and the White House is looking to see how its key environmental allies react. If they object strongly, Keystone approval will be delayed indefinitely (perhaps for the rest of this presidency); if they complain more or less perfunctorily, approval will be forthcoming.”

Baird roasted over diplomatic strike, treaty relations with UN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The NDP accused Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird on Thursday of botching relations with his own diplomats and isolating Canada on the international stage.

Foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar levelled the widespread criticism at Baird during a news conference in Ottawa.

Dewar said an unprecedented strike by foreign service officers reflects badly on Baird.

“The Conservative government’s refusal to bargain with Canada’s own diplomats is a shameful injustice, not just for diplomats and their families but all Canadians and for Canada’s reputation abroad,” said Dewar.

Hundreds of foreign service officers have been without a contact for more than a year and a half. They have shut down some services at Foreign Affairs headquarters in Ottawa and at about a dozen missions abroad.

Dewar also blamed Baird for em-

barrassing Canada and souring relations with the United Nations by pulling out of various treaties or failing to honour others.

Baird’s spokesman Rick Roth did not comment directly but took to Twitter to defend his boss.

“As with all public pronouncements that Paul Dewar makes, we’ll have to wait a few days to see if his leader Thomas Mulcair smacks him down,” Roth wrote, without explaining further.

Tory MP Andrew Saxton, the parliamentary secretary to Treasury Board Secretary Tony Clement, whose department is responsible for the foreign service negotiations, said the government has made a fair offer and it won’t be tabling a new one.

“These are very well paid positions.

They come with great benefits, benefits that most Canadians could never even dream of. Private schools for their kids. Paid vacations to locations of their choice. They get cars shipped to them. They get their dry cleaning paid for.”

CANADA Ottawa closer to deleting last of gun registry Guilty plea in killing of man who appeared in photo with Rob Ford TORONTO — A man admitted in court Thursday to shooting and killing Anthony Smith, who gained notoriety in death after a photo emerged that appeared to show him with Toronto’s mayor, but his lawyer suggested there may be “further developments.”

Nisar Hashimi, 23, entered an early guilty plea to manslaughter and aggravated assault just three months after Smith, 21, was shot dead outside a downtown Toronto nightclub and Muhammad Khattak, 19, was wounded.

Hashimi had been charged with firstdegree murder. Smith’s sister and mother said outside court that though the plea to lesser charges wasn’t the outcome they had expected, they can now move on.

Smith’s sister, Kamelia Taylor, lashed out at a throng of reporters, saying it was “disgusting” that no one cared about her brother’s death until a picture emerged appearing to show him with the mayor.

“If it wasn’t for the picture that had surfaced no one of you guys would have known who Anthony Smith was,” she said. “You guys just cared about the Rob Ford story — the allegations, the accusations — without knowing what was what...You guys dragged the dead through the gutter.”

The Toronto Star has reported that the same person who showed its reporters an alleged video of the mayor smoking what appears to be crack cocaine provided them with the picture.

That newspaper, as well as the Globe and Mail, reported that Khattak is one of the other men in the photo.

Khattak was arrested earlier this month in a series of raids targeting suspected drug and gun traffickers.

Ford has denied the picture indicates he has ties to drug dealers, saying he takes pictures with a lot of people.

Parents to receive review, records from hospital where Rehtaeh Parsons treated HALIFAX — A Halifax children’s hospital says it will provide Rehtaeh Parsons’ parents with recommendations from a peer review into how she was cared for last year after they voiced concerns about her treatment.

The internal medical report focuses on Parsons’ specific treatments and medical record. It is distinct from an external review announced earlier this week that will examine policies and procedures generally.

Parsons was admitted to the IWK Health Centre in March 2012, about five months after she was allegedly sexually assaulted and became suicidal. Her family alleges she was sexually assaulted by four boys and a photograph of the incident was passed around her school.

The 17-year-old girl hanged herself in April and was taken off lifesupport three days later.

Glen Canning said he has a number of concerns about his daughter’s mental health treatment, including a lack of focus on her depression and trauma from the alleged sexual assault.

Anne McGuire, president and CEO of the IWK, said she is hopeful that after the parents meet with hospital staff, and receive medical records and see the medical review’s recommendations, their concerns about their daughter’s treatment can be addressed.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The Harper government has won the latest round in its battle to delete, once and for all, the last remaining portion of the federal long-gun registry.

Quebec’s highest court has ruled against the provincial government there, as it fights to keep data for the province from being destroyed as it has elsewhere in Canada.

In its judgment, the Quebec Court of Appeal said the province has no right to the registry data. It also ordered the provincial government to pay the court costs for the case.

“Quebec has no property right in the data,” said the 14-page ruling, released Thursday.

“The data does not belong to Quebec, and the provinces have no control over it...

The Parliament of Canada, which considers the data at issue to be pointless and inefficient and believes that its existence in a registry infringes the right to privacy, can certainly decide to stop compiling and preserving that information.”

The long-controversial registry could, in theory, be completely destroyed in two weeks. The ruling said the federal government must wait that long before deleting the Quebec data.

But the provincial government quickly announced that it intends to ask the Supreme Court of Canada to consider the case. It has also filed a motion to keep an injunction in place in that maintains the registry in the meantime.

The federal government expressed its satisfaction at Thursday’s news.

In a three-sentence statement reacting to the ruling, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said his Conservative government was proud to stand up for farmers and hunters “unlike Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and Thomas Mulcair’s NDP.” The judgment was the latest round in a legal battle over an emotional topic in Quebec, where the fight for gun control intensified in the wake of the 1989 Polytechnique massacre.

The bill to scrap the federal registry received royal assent in April 2012, fulfilling a longstanding pledge by the Harper

government.

Opponents of the registry called it wasteful and irrelevant in stopping crime. Its supporters, however, including some police organizations, described the registry as a valuable tool in law-enforcement’s arsenal.

Quebec has argued that it needs the data to support its own gun registry — making it the only province to announce its intention to do so.

The province has argued it would cost too much to start the registry anew.

Lawyers for the federal government have argued that if Quebec wants a registry of its own, it should start from scratch.

Thursday’s decision said it was “clearly inappropriate” for a lower court, in a ruling last year, to compel the federal government to maintain the Quebec share of the registry.

It quoted a recent Supreme Court ruling that said that as popular as “flexible federalism” might be, the goal of accommodating another level of government “cannot sweep designated powers out to sea, nor erode the constitutional balance inherent in the Canadian federal state.”

Mandela in critical but stable condition

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Nelson Mandela’s health improved overnight and although his condition remains critical it is now stable, the South African government said Thursday. One of the former president’s daughters said he is still opening his eyes and reacting to the touch of his family even though his situation is precarious.

The report that the health of the 94-year-old antiapartheid leader had taken a turn for the better came amid a growing sense in South Africa that Mandela was approaching the end of his life. Well-wishers have delivered flowers and messages of support to the Pretoria hospital where he is being treated, and prayer sessions were held around the country on Thursday.

President Jacob Zuma’s office said in a statement that he received the encouraging update from the medical team that is treating Mandela. Zuma had cancelled an international trip on Thursday, instead visiting Mandela for the second time in two days.

“I cancelled my visit to Mozambique today so that I can see him and confer with the doctors,” Zuma said in the statement.

“He is much better today than he was when I saw him last night.”

In April, Zuma gave an overly upbeat assessment about Mandela’s condition. At that time, state television broadcast footage of a visit by Zuma and other political leaders to Mandela’s home. Zuma said at the time that Mandela was in good shape, but the footage showed him silent and unresponsive, even when Zuma tried to hold his hand.

Mandela, who was imprisoned for 27 years during white racist rule and became president in all-race elections in 1994, was taken to a hospital on June 8 for what the government said was a recurring lung infection.

Zuma urged people to pray for Mandela, and continue with their work and daily activities even while he is hospitalized.

Trayvon Martin’s friend testifies at trial THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANFORD, Fla. — A friend of Trayvon Martin’s who was on the phone with him shortly before his fatal fight with George Zimmerman testified Thursday that she thought the encounter was racially charged.

Rachel Jeantel testified for the second day in a row, saying she thought race was an issue because Martin told her he was being followed by a white man.

“He was being followed,” Jeantel said.

Her answer came in response to questioning from defence attorney Don West about why she had given differing accounts about what she had heard over the phone when Martin first encountered Zimmerman on a rainy night on Feb. 26, 2012, at the Retreat at Twin Lakes townhome complex.

West suggested in his cross-examination that 19-year-old Jeantel had raised the racial issue in some accounts but not others. In some accounts, West implied, Jeantel said Zimmerman responded one way when he first encountered Martin, but in other accounts she said he responded another way. Jeantel gave her version of events in a deposition, in a letter to Martin’s mother and in a recorded interview with an attorney for the Martin family.

Jeantel is one of the prosecution’s most important witnesses because she bolsters the contention that Zimmerman was the aggressor.

She was on the phone with Martin moments before he was fatally shot.

Jeantel testified Wednesday that her friend’s last words were “Get off! Get off!” before the phone went silent.

But on Thursday, under cross-examination, she conceded that she hadn’t mentioned that in her account of what happened to Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton.

She had left out some details to spare Fulton’s feelings, and also because neither Fulton nor the Martin family attorney asked her directly about them, Jeantel said.

Boston Marathon suspect facing 30-count indictment Russian regions of Dagestan and Chechnya, which have become recruiting grounds for Muslim extremists.

They had been living in the U.S. about a decade.

But the indictment made no mention of any larger conspiracy beyond the brothers, and no reference to any direct overseas contacts with extremists. Instead, the indictment suggests the Internet played an important role in the suspects’ radicalization.

Before the attack, according to the indictment, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev downloaded onto his computer the summer 2010 issue of Inspire, an online Englishlanguage magazine published by al-Qaida. The issue detailed how to make bombs from pressure cookers, explosive powder extracted from fireworks, and lethal shrapnel.

He also downloaded extremist Muslim literature, including “Defence of the Muslim Lands, the First Obligation After Imam,” which advocates “violence designed to terrorize the perceived enemies of Islam,” the indictment said.

Another tract downloaded included a foreword by Anwar al-Awlaki, an American propagandist for alQaida who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011.

U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz of Massachusetts said Attorney General Eric Holder will decide whether to pursue the death penalty against Tsarnaev, who will be arraigned on July 10.

The indictment assembled and confirmed details of the case that have been widely reported over the past two months, and added new pieces of information.

For example, it corroborated reports that Tamerlan Tsarnaev bought 48 mortar shells from a Seabrook, New Hampshire, fireworks store. It also disclosed that he used the Internet to order electronic components that could be used in making bombs.

The papers detail how the brothers then allegedly placed knapsacks containing shrapnel-packed bombs near the finish line of the 26.2-mile race.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Boston Marathon suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev downloaded bomb-making instructions from an al-Qaida magazine, gathered online material on Islamic jihad and martyrdom, and later scrawled anti-American messages inside the boat where he lay wounded, a federal indictment charged Thursday.

The 30-count indictment contains the bombing charges, punishable by the death penalty, that were brought in April against the 19-year-old Tsarnaev, including use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill.

It also contains many new charges covering the slaying of an MIT police officer and the carjacking of a motorist during the getaway attempt that left Tsarnaev’s older brother, Tamerlan, dead.

“Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s justice will be in the next world, but for his brother, accountability will begin right here in the district of Massachusetts,” District Attorney Daniel Conley, whose jurisdiction includes Boston, said at a news conference with federal prosecutors.

The indictment provides one of the most detailed public explanations to date of the brothers’ alleged motive — Islamic extremism — and the role the Internet may have played in influencing them.

Three people were killed and more than 260 wounded by the two pressure-cooker bombs that went off near the finish line of the marathon on April 15.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured four days later, hiding in a boat parked in a backyard.

According to the indictment, he scrawled messages on the inside of the vessel that said, among other things, “The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians,” ”I can’t stand to see such evil go unpunished,“ and ”We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all.“ The Tsarnaev brothers had roots in the turbulent

Olivia’s got talent OLIVIA SMITH CAME TO NATIONAL ATTENTION DURING THE 2011-12 SEASON OF TV’S CANADA’S GOT TALENT. AT THAT MOMENT, SMITH LOOKED AS IF SHE WOULD BE CANADA’S UN NLIKELY DISCOVERY. IN THE END, SHE FAILED TO CRACK THE TOP 30 FINALIS STS. BUT SMITH DIDN’T WALLOW IN DISAPPOINTMENT. NOW THE RED DEER SINGER IS USING HER CONSIDERABLE TALENT TO MAKE GROWN MEN (AND WOMEN) CRY

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

She once received a standing ovation from actor Martin Short and glowing praise from Canadian operatic diva Measha Brueggergosman.

Now Red Deer singer Olivia Smith is using her considerable talent to make grown men (and women) cry.

It happened again a week ago. When the 14-yearold finished singing the duet All I Ask of You (with Konstantin Vorosmarty) from the musical Phantom of the Opera, the red-eyed MC at the Nickle Studio had to pause, momentarily, to collect himself.

And he wasn’t the only one struggling last Friday with his emotions.

By the time Olivia finished singing Mio Babbino Caro from the Puccini opera Gianni Schicchi, she got the biggest applause of the evening — even though she was only entertaining between acts at Central Alberta Theatre’s one-act play festival.

Male and female listeners were visibly moved, not just by her spectacular singing, but also by her subtle, emotive performance. But that’s nothing new for Olivia. She admitted she often sees glistening eyes when she looks out at an audience.

“I think it’s good, because it means, for me, that I’m interpreting the song well,” said the St. Patrick’s Community School student, who came to national attention during the 2011-12 season of the TV show Canada’s Got Talent.

Television viewers across the country got their first look at the then 12-year-old standing on stage in an enormous pink gown. No one knew what to expect from the diminutive contestant until she began singing fluidly in operatic Italian — and her rich, resonant vocals filled the concert hall.

At that moment, Olivia looked as if she would be Canada’s unlikely discovery — comparable to the U.S.’s Jackie Evancho or Britain’s Susan Boyle.

The show’s judges, including Short and Brueggergosman, appeared overwhelmed by her performance. Short leapt up and applauded her. Brueggergosman likened Olivia to a younger version of herself.

In the end, of course, it all came to naught — a dog act made the top 30 finalists, but not Olivia.

After getting heaped with so much praise, “I was confused,” she admitted.

“Her feelings were hurt,” added her mom, Julianne Smith. “They told us, all along, that she would be going through, then a week before the live show was to start, it was ‘OK, you’re not going to make it.’”

It was a harsh lesson to learn about what supposedly makes for good television. But Olivia didn’t wallow for too long in disappointment.

She’s kept busy for the last year and a half with performances at church, school and at The Hub in downtown Red Deer.

Olivia sang the national anthem at a Canada Day celebration and at various sporting championships.

She regularly busks on Saturday mornings at the Red Deer Public Market, and has continued her

When she tries to envision her own future after high school, Olivia Smith, 14, sees herself singing on stage somewhere, amid sets and props and footlights. music education, while maintaining honours status at school and working toward her black belt in Tae Kwon Do. (She also takes evening singing, music theory, as well as guitar and piano classes.)

Red Deer voice instructor Cheryl Valentine has given Olivia lessons since the precocious, would-be country singer started coming to her at the age of seven. While the teacher has had many gifted students over the years, she considers Olivia “exceptional” for her vocal abilities and work ethic.

The teenager attained the top mark in Canada for Grade 6 vocals at the Canada Conservatory of Music exams in London, Ont., last fall. And this spring she scored “an almost unheard of” 92 per cent at the Royal Conservatory Grade 7 voice exams in Toronto.

“She has a phenomenal voice and exceptional talent, and she works very, very hard,” said Valentine, who herself sang opera in the U.S. after getting a scholarship to study in Texas.

It’s telling that Olivia labours over music theory as much as her singing — and clearly, she is “very, very interested in singing,” whether pop, country or opera, added Valentine.

But the student long ago abandoned her ambition to become the next Martina McBride, and began focusing on a classical repertoire.

While she can sing in French and German, she particularly loves Italian opera, for the romance

of the language, as well as the stories behind the music.

In Giacomo Puccini’s opera Gianni Schicchi, for example, a daughter begs her father to let her marry the man she loves, even though he is the son of his enemy.

Olivia said this heartbreaking scenario played out in her mind as she sang the gorgeous Mio Babbino Caro, which reduced so many of her listeners to tears last week.

“We cry too when we hear her sing,” admitted Julianne. “We wonder where is this (talent) coming from?”

Julianne, a fitness instructor, and her husband, Myles Smith, a driller in the oilfield, like music well enough, but their tastes have historically veered more towards Bon Jovi and Aerosmith than Puccini.

Their oldest daughter’s musical appreciation (Olivia has a supportive older brother and younger sister) encompasses Adele, Hedley and Celine Dion, as well as Justin Bieber — who she believes is “very talented.”

When she tries to envision her own future after high school, Olivia sees herself singing on stage somewhere, amid sets and props and footlights.

“I do want to make a career out of music ... opera for sure, or maybe musical theatre.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Paula Deen’s appearance on the Today show Wednesday might not save her career — but it may be her best move after a disastrous few days.

“If I hear one more nitwit say, ‘She needs to get ahead of the story,’ “ said D.C. crisis manager Eric Dezenhall. “It’s called damage control, not damage-never-happened. You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.”

The celebrity chef, reeling from revelations that she used racist slurs, has already been dropped by the Food Network and Smithfield Foods. Now, Deen is struggling to protect the rest of her crumbling em- Paula Deen pire — a Savannah, Ga., restaurant, her magazine, a gig as spokeswoman for a diabetes drug, assorted retail deals and a slot on QVC — which collectively bring in an estimated $6 million a year.

Since damaging excerpts from a deposition went public last week, Deen and her team have scrambled to respond — and basically botched the job: abruptly canceling a scheduled interview with Today’s Matt Lauer last Friday, then releasing tearful, heavily edited apologies that look more like hostage videos than a sincere mea culpa.

“What you’re really seeing is a person who has just been hit by a bus, and her life as she knew it is over,” said Dezenhall. Instead of strategy, there’s “sheer terror, chaos and panic.”

On Tuesday, Deen’s sons weighed in, asserting that his mother was not a racist but rather the victim of a former employee suing to score a huge settlement. “I’m disgusted by the entire thing, because it began as extortion and it has become character assassination,” Bobby Deen told CNN. Still, Deen’s Today appearance is too soon, said Dan Hill of Ervin/Hill Strategy. “No one is going to buy what she says now, even if it’s a perfectly crafted message. Everyone thinks you should respond immediately, but with something like this, usually time serves them well.”

But since she’s going ahead with it, it’s crucial that she comes across as authentic. “What we need to know from her is that she understands precisely why those words are distressing — as opposed to apologizing for offending people,” Dezenhall said. “This has to be a reckoning.”

Some people will never forgive her, but some, of course, have or will. Martha Stewart and Tiger Woods survived scandals and resumed their careers by lying low and focusing on work. Deen’s fans have already started campaigns to get her reinstated on the Food Network.

Best advice? “Go away for a while,” Dezenhall said. Don’t give interviews for a year, then quietly resume work — and be content with less fame. “Most people recover, but not at the same level.”

Master Chef Canada Qawwali king left indelible mark on world opens auditions

FAISALABAD, Pakistan — At the heart of the city of Faisalabad in eastern Pakistan are scattered shrines dedicated to the saints of Sufism.

Every Thursday, crowds gather at the shrines to offer prayers. On one such evening, powerful singing in Punjabi, the provincial language, could be heard from among the shrines.

Weaving through the throngs of pedestrians, I traced the source of the music to an outdoor plaza where an impromptu concert was taking place.

The singers sounded as if they were shouting from deep within their throats. The vocals were accompanied by a small organ and a pair of drums.

As the singing reached its climax, others chimed in. It was similar to a Japanese folk song with kobushi — vibrato-like singing techniques.

The music I was listening to was a devotional song known as qawwali, in which singers ad-lib classical poems praising Allah and saints.

Faisalabad was home to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, one of Pakistan’s most popular musicians who has been dubbed the King of Qawwali. Locally, the performance tradition has continued uninterrupted.

The song contained such phrases as, “My beloved has come home to me. Praise be to Allah, we have been united. What a beautiful miracle this is.”

Qawwali dates back to around the 13th century, when followers of an Islamic sect of mysticism called Sufism sang to become closer to Allah.

This mode of singing often sends audiences into a trance. When Nusrat held a concert in Japan, the audience, which included many Pakistanis, was entranced.

Qawwali has been a tradition for more than 600 years in Nusrat’s family, which can trace its lineage to Afghanistan.

Since he was a child, Nusrat was trained by his father in the traditional melodies and techniques of qawwali. His father died when Nusrat was very young. When Nusrat was 16, he picked up the torch by embarking on a career as a qawwali performer.

Initially, Nusrat performed mainly in Pakistan.

Gandolfini and the art of The Sopranos

BY STEPHEN L. CARTER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Legendary acting coach Tanya Berezin once told an interviewer that what makes an actor great is the ability “to throw light . . . in some sort of inexplicable way” on “what makes people tick and live and thrive and what makes people not.” James Gandolfini, who died earlier this month in Italy at 51, possessed that rare gift. Every moment he spent on the screen illuminated the human condition.

He was best known, of course, as star of The Sopranos, which ran on HBO from 1999 to 2007, and was recently dubbed by the Writers Guild of America as the best-written show in the history of television.

And plenty of Sopranos fans will tell you that the heart of the show was the sparkle of the writing. Others will cite the brilliance of the central irony, or even the precious settings, particularly the lovely upscale ordinariness of Tony and Carmela Soprano’s suburban New Jersey home, which to this day is said to attract busloads of the curious.

But as fast as the plot twists and snappy one-liners whirled, The Sopranos was ultimately an actors’ show, and the hub around which it all revolved was Gandolfini. Although it would be silly to compare The Sopranos to The Godfather movies, the quietly confident faithful husbands of the Coppola epics are in some ways less interesting as character studies than Gandolfini’s angst-ridden, anxiety-driven, adulterous mob boss — the cruel yet eerily sympathetic antihero Photo by ADVOCATE news services who paved the way for Walter White of Breaking Bad As fast as the plot twists and snappy one-liners whirled, The Sopranos was ultimately an actors’ show, and and even Mad Men’s Don Draper.

QAWWALI: Part of the world’s cultural heritage

Despite criticism from the conservative establishment, Nusrat sought new audiences through his attempts at experimentation.

Fasi Zaka, 36, a Pakistani music critic, said, “Nusrat not only made qawwali part of the world’s cultural heritage but also drew a nationwide following among Pakistani urbanites, who had been listening to only pop music.”

Nusrat died of a heart attack in London in 1997.

His oeuvre includes more than 120 albums, including “Qawwali: The Vocal Art of the Sufis,” which was released in Japan.

A stroll through Faisalabad with the faint sounds of qawwali in the background made me feel as if I had been temporarily drawn into a mysterious world. Or perhaps it was only a dream.

At a British summer music festival in 1985, Nusrat attracted an enormous amount of attention, resulting in his career taking off overseas.

Afterward, Nusrat held concerts in many countries, including the United States and France. Gradually, he started to perform abroad more often than back home.

But no matter how busy he was, he never failed to schedule concerts in his home country each year during major religious festivals.

Dear Annie: Your answer to “Parents at Wits’ End,” whose bipolar son would not take his meds, exemplifies the dilemma posed by mental illness in this country, namely that without the patient’s cooperation matters may quickly grow hopeless.

My wife had severe bipolar disorder. It was only luck that kept her aggressive driving from killing all of us and enabled her to keep her job. A friend urged me to leave with my children, but I knew my kids would be devastated, and I worried that my wife would kill herself.

My wife saw a doctor who prescribed an antidepressant, but she did not want a mood stabilizer.

The antidepressant by itself sent her spiraling, as she knew it would. The doctor’s nurse later told me, “We knew something was wrong, but she wouldn’t talk about it when she came in.” Less than a year later, my wife committed suicide, breaking all of our hearts.

If a bipolar person cannot cooperate, the family can do nothing but pray. — Wiser in Tennessee Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Another enjoyable read from author Walls

Patterson tells stories behind people who shot to fame for 15 minutes THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — American pop artist Andy Warhol’s iconic quote “In the future everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes” has inspired a Canadian author to look at the stories of those who briefly entered the spotlight only to fall back into obscurity.

“The stories behind the stories are of interest to me,” said Dale Patterson, whose new book “Fifteen Minutes of Fame: History’s One Hit Wonders” is just out from Red Deer Press.

Remember Max Yasgur? He’s the New York farmer who rented out his field for a small musical gathering and ended up hosting Woodstock in 1969. He died of a heart condition four years later at age 53.

“Rolling Stone gave him an obituary, which is very rare for a non-music person. He was beloved by the Woodstock generation because he gave them a break,” Patterson, 60, said in a recent interview.

There are more than 200 entries in the book, and at the end of each, Patterson supplies an additional nugget of information.

“If you’re into trivia, this is the book for you,” he said. “And I’ve really dug deep to find the trivia.”

In the case of the “Rock ’n’ Roll Farmer,” for instance, Patterson includes the musicians who passed on Woodstock, including Led Zeppelin, the Byrds, the Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, the Doors and Procol Harum.

“I’ve always been interested in history and the people in history, the actual people and the stories behind the people. ... My favourite thing is what happened after the fame,” said Patterson, who hails from Ajax, Ont. Remember Robert Opel? The photographer and art gallery owner streaked the 1974 Oscars while British actor David Niven was introducing film diva Elizabeth Taylor, who was to hand out the award for best picture.

“During my research I want to find out not just about that but what happened afterwards,” said Patterson.

“He was murdered five years later in his art gallery in San Francisco.

It was a robbery. It was just wrong place, wrong time.”

Patterson’s previous book was “What Time Of Day Was That?: History by the Minute” (2001), which organizes history according to the time of day it happened.

The idea for “Fifteen Minutes” was already percolating after he

wrote an entry about Abraham Zapruder, an American manufacturer of women’s clothing who became famous for his film using a homemovie camera of the assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy in Texas on Nov. 22, 1963.

“That was to me a natural because he was famous accidentally. Because the idea of 15 minutes of fame is to be famous accidentally without anyone trying to be famous,” said Patterson, who worked for The Canadian Press news service for 35 years as a reporter-editor.

After his retirement in 2010, Patterson spent about three years doing intense research and writing “Fifteen Minutes.”

“Writing to me is like a hobby. It’s not work for me. I love writing so much. And I would do it in my spare time.

Same way like an artist would be working on a painting, I like writing,” said Patterson, who has spent 17 years updating the website Rock Radio Scrapbook, an aircheck archive of Canada’s radio history.

“Fifteen Minutes” is the type of book you can have fun dipping into here and there, reading snippets. You’ll learn about Tank Man, the unknown protester who, in 1989, stared down a column of tanks in Tianan-

men Square; Dolly, the first cloned sheep; and Denise Ann Darvall, whose heart was used in the first human-tohuman transplant performed by South African cardiac surgeon Christiaan Barnard after she was badly injured in a car accident.

Then there’s the story of Rosie Ruiz, who basked in the winner’s spotlight for her 15 minutes at the 1980 Boston Marathon. But it turned out she took the subway en route.

When her cheating was revealed, Quebecborn Jacqueline Gareau was recognized as the winner in a special ceremony, “but her win was overshadowed by this woman who cheated.

Ruiz wasn’t even sweating at the end,” Patterson noted.

“If you write history properly it can come alive and be interesting.

I’m passionate about history and making it interesting.”

In addition, the girls must attend a school newly integrated. Because the “white” school is newer, the State of Virginia decrees the blacks must do the moving. Liz and Bean have lived all over California and add some civility to the proceedings.

The girls decide they need to find jobs, although there are few to be had.

Since they don’t know the history of the town, they are happy to be hired by nasty Mr. Maddox. You just know this is going to turn our badly, but when Maddox does his worst, Bean bravely fights back. Mother arrives, but it takes special circumstances and wit to stop Maddox.

Jeannette Walls knows how to put a story together, she knows young girls and how they react and she knows about parents with dreams.

I would be lying if I said there were no similarities between this story and The Glass Castle, but I enjoyed this book very much.

True tale of reporters’ capture and escape shows U.S. Civil War through new lens

by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Junius and Albert’s Adventures in the Confederacy: A Civil War Odyssey

by Peter Carlson Among the tens of thousands of books written about the American Civil War, there are dense histories of campaigns, profiles of leaders, compilations of battlefield photos or soldiers’ letters home. Then, once in a while, you run across just a really good yarn.

That’s what Peter Carlson has written in his nonfiction account of two New York Tribune reporters’ unique experience of the war. They witnessed fighting or its aftermath at Shiloh, Antietam and other slaughters. They met Abraham Lincoln more than once.

But mostly this is a story about their capture and 19-month imprisonment

by Confederates, how they survived and, amazingly, how they plugged into a complex network that risked all to help prisoners escape to seemingly unreachable Union lines.

At the heart of this buddy story are two distinctive characters, close friends who sometimes infuriate and often help each other — even nursing each other through life-threatening illness — while seeking out news by very different methods and writing it in sharply contrasting styles. Carlson’s story portrays their relationship and the wild ride of their wartime experience with emotional depth and often with humour.

Describing the “self-conscious romantic” Junius Browne’s fateful decision to change careers from banking, Carlson writes that he chose “a trade that has traditionally served as a refuge for the skeptical, the curious, the opinionated, the semi-adventurous, the quasi-literary and the vaguely talented — journalism.”

Browne comes off as a bit of a dilettante, classically educated and always ready with a bon mot but not necessarily ready to meet deadlines. Although he produces some dispatches that rightly make his reputation in New York, we also see him missing one major battle altogether and concocting a detailed but largely fictional account.

As a journalist, Albert Richardson is Browne’s opposite: tireless in his reporting, gifted and comfortable as an interviewer, and elegantly spare in his writing.

In the end, each produces a bestselling book about their shared ordeal, and Carlson mines these rich veins and many others (his source notes run a dozen pages, though this is not an academic history) to chronicle the two men’s lives and the trials they get through.

Carlson’s story drags in a few places where the day-to-day recitation of the heroes’ progress should have been pruned a bit by an editor. The author, a former Washington Post reporter and columnist, has produced a work that entertains as well as educates and lets readers see the endlessly chronicled Civil War through a truly fresh lens.

If you liked The Glass Castle and Half Broke Horses, then you will be happy to know about this new book by Jeannette Walls.

This time, there are two young sisters, Liz, 15 and “Bean” (Jean), who is 12-years-old. They are living in southern California in various locales, with their mom, Charlotte, an aspiring singer and actor.

Charlotte hates to be called “aspiring” but at age 36, it’s possible her ship has sailed.

As to parenting, Charlotte does leave the girls alone quite often, but it’s plain they are loving with each other and resourceful in many situations, so someone taught them something.

Jean, known as “Bean,” tells this story and she is immediately likeable.

The year is 1970.

Mother is in Los Angeles working on her career, the girls are home attending school and eating chicken pies, which they love and eat at every meal.

The girls know social workers must be avoided at all costs, so when a wellmeaning adult starts snooping, they take their meager resources and catch the Greyhound for the long ride to Byler, Via. That’s their mom’s old home town and Uncle Tinsley and Aunt Martha Halladay live there.

Now the story turns into a Western.

The town of Byler used to be a busy milling town and Halladays owned it all. Times have changed and the girls arrive in a dusty, used-up town where the mill is run by a bully named Maddox and although Uncle Tinsley makes them welcome, he’s as broke as everyone else.

The two girls have different strengths. Liz is a planner and a good student but in over her head emotionally. She’s on to her mother’s unreliability.

Bean cheerfully embraces the relatives, believes Mom will be back, goes to school and makes sure she fits in.

There are many people in Byler who are very good to these two kids, and there are a couple of emus named Eugene and Eunice that help out.

The songs of L.A. are like the city itself QUIRKY, SOMETIMES BEAUTIFUL AND A LITTLE EXAGGERATED

BY JOHN ROGERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — For a city that has argued for decades over what its official song ought to be, Los Angeles has never lacked for serious contenders.

Anyone who has spent time here knows the city already has at least one unofficial tune: Randy Newman’s I Love LA is played after every home game the Los Angeles Lakers or Dodgers win.

But have you heard Bing Crosby warble about how he once planned to “settle down and nevermore roam, and make the San Fernando Valley my home?”

Or songwriter George G.W. Morgan’s tuneful boast in 1876 that if you really wanted great wine, forget the fancy European stuff, just open a bottle of LA’s best and drink up.

Crosby’s San Fernando Valley, a hit in 1943, and Morgan’s The Wines of Los Angeles County are just two of nearly 200 songs that promote, mystify, glamorize and, let’s be honest, often exaggerate the value of living in Los Angeles and its scores of suburbs.

And those are just the songs written between 1849 and 1959 that pop music historian Josh Kun came across while combing through the archives of the Los Angeles Public Library.

The result is Songs in the Key of LA, an ambitious summer-long project that kicked off earlier this month with the publication of a colorful, coffee-table book.

Next month a large, free-to-the-public exhibition of LA’s music history

opens at the downtown library.

Throughout much of the rest of the summer, such prominent LA musicians as Van Dyke Parks, Quetzal and Ozomatli will be bringing the songs themselves to life in a series of public performances and recordings.

The works range from waltzes to Sousa-style marches, include cumbias representing the city’s Latino influences and jazz styles carried west from New Orleans.

But one unifying lyrical theme they all contain is pretty much this: Los Angeles is a sunnier, prettier, better place to live than wherever you are, and you’d be crazy not to want to be here instead.

As songwriters Jay Livingston and Ray Evans proclaim in Angeltown — which actually is LA’s official song — “Once you wander through its byways, then you never can depart. In a thousand sweet and sly ways, it will win your heart!”

There is a reason for such unmitigated musical cheerleading, said Kun, a professor at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.

Almost from the day it ostentatiously named itself the City of the Angels, LA has been portrayed as a fantasyland of palm trees, orange groves, beaches and beautiful people.

“Unlike with other cities, songs in early LA were often treated as instruments of boosterism,” Kun said.

“An industry was in place to help support song production that added to the sunshine-hype machine.”

Livingston and Evans, for example, were movie songwriters who won

Academy Awards for the pop classics Que Sera, Sera, Mona Lisa and Buttons and Bows.

They were talked into writing Angeltown in 1959 by Los Angeles Times columnist Gene Sherman who wanted his hometown to have an official song.

Apparently he didn’t think tunes like Los Angeles Hurrah! The Place For You and Me, which was written in 1918, or 1920’s Los Angeles The Beautiful, made the cut.

Angeltown apparently didn’t either.

Although it became the official city song in 1966, it didn’t merit a mention in the Los Angeles Times obituaries for either man.

Meanwhile, people have pretty much been arguing ever since that LA needs a better song.

Following in his predecessor’s footsteps, Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez nominated local musician Justin Chart’s Los Angeles the Song as a serious contender earlier this year.

He acknowledged in a blog post a few days later, however, that many readers weren’t buying that; they preferred Newman’s I Love LA. Still others suggested the Doors’ LA Woman or the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Under the Bridge.

None of those are in Songs in the Key of LA because Kun wanted to focus on the period between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries, when sales of sheet music truly defined whether a song was a hit. It also gave him a chance to publish the elaborate, colorful sheet music covers that were truly the album covers and concert posters of their day.

To really bring the project to life,

however, he knew he needed to have modern-day musicians record and perform some of the songs.

Grammy-nominated LA fusion band La Santa Cecilia took on “Chiapanecas,” a song not only performed by Lupe Velez in the 1939 Hollywood film The Girl From Mexico but also a longtime staple of mariachi groups along the city’s historic Olvera Street.

The group modernized it a bit, adding a Tejano melody and a rock beat.

The veteran alt-country contingent I See Hawks in LA left In The Valley of the San Joaquin pretty much unchanged.

There was a good reason for that, said lead singer Rob Waller. With its old-timey references to orange groves and “fields of yellow corn, where the quail sing every morn,” it sounded like a song they might have written last week.

In fact, the San Joaquin Valley, 100 miles to the north, remains much the agricultural hub it once was when the song was written in 1904, while LA has planted subdivisions in its fields and paved its once-abundant orange groves.

But the California dream that was and is LA endures.

“You get here and you realize the dream you had isn’t what living here is exactly like. But you still want the dream, and so you still write the songs,” he said with a laugh. “It’s still your muse, and you’re still celebrating the idea of infinite possibility — which is what LA is.”

Microsoft fine-tunes flagship Windows operating system BLAMED FOR PC SLUMP

SAN FRANCISCO — Microsoft is trying to avert slumping PC sales and growing criticism of its flagship operating system with the release of a revised version of Windows 8.

On Wednesday, Microsoft made a preview version of Windows 8.1 available for download.

It includes alterations meant to address consumer dissatisfaction with the operating system.

Analysts believe users’ frustration with Windows 8 is partly to blame for the biggest drop in personal computer sales in nearly two decades.

At a conference in San Francisco, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer acknowledged that the company pushed hard to get people to adopt a radical new tile-based “Modern” user interface in Windows 8.

Microsoft is now back-pedaling, making it easier to reach and use the older “desktop” interface.

“Let’s make it easier to start applications the way we’re used to,” Ballmer told the audience of software developers.

“What we will show you today is a refined blend of our Desktop experience and our Modern experience.”

Windows 8, released Oct. 26, was Microsoft’s answer to changing customer behaviour and the rise of tablet computers.

The operating system emphasizes touch controls over the mouse and the keyboard, which had been the main way people have interacted with their personal computers since the 1980s.

Microsoft and PC makers had been looking to Windows 8 to revive sales of personal computers, but some people have been put off by the radical makeover.

Research firm IDC said the operating system actually slowed down the market. A lthough Microsoft says it has sold more than 100 million Windows 8 licenses so far, IDC said worldwide shipments of personal computers fell 14 per cent in the first three months of this year, the worst since tracking began in 1994.

Windows 8 was also supposed to make Microsoft more competitive in the growing market for tablet computers.

The

But Windows tablets had less than a 4 per cent market share in the first quarter, compared with 57 per cent for Android and 40 per cent for Apple’s iPad. Among the changes present in Windows 8.1, users will be able to boot up in Desktop mode.

There, they’ll find a button that resembles the old Start button. It won’t take users to the old Start menu, but to the new “Modern” Windows 8 start screen.

Still, the re-introduction of the familiar button may make it easier for longtime Windows users to get accustomed to the changes.

A common complaint about Windows 8 is that it hides features and functions, and replaces buttons with gestures and invisible click zones that have to be memorized.

Other new features of Windows 8.1 include more options to use multiple apps.

People will be able to determine how much of the screen each app takes while showing up to four different programs, rather than just two.

The update will also offer more integrated search results, showing users previews of websites, apps and documents that are on the device, all at once.

Microsoft also touted a broadening array of applications specifically written for Windows 8, among them one from Facebook.

Frank Gillett, an analyst with research firm Forrester, said that with 8.1, Microsoft is doing a better job of uniting the Desktop and Modern screens, but the changes don’t run deep.

“They smoothed off some rough edges, but they don’t fundamentally change the experience of having two experiences within one operating system,” he said.

The preview version of Windows 8.1 is meant for Microsoft’s partners and other technology developers, but anyone can download it.

The release comes exactly eight months after desktops, laptops and tablets with Windows 8 went on sale.

The version of the Windows 8.1 update meant for the general public will come later in the year, though the company hasn’t announced a specific date.

Julie Larson-Green, the head of Microsoft’s Windows division, said the

The Microsoft Corp. logo, left, is seen on an exterior wall of a new Microsoft store inside the Prudential Center mall, in Boston. Microsoft will use its annual developers conference to release a preview of Windows 8.1, a free update that promises to address some of the gripes people have with the latest version of the company’s flagship operating system. The Build conference, which started Wednesday, in San Francisco, will give Microsoft’s partners and other technology developers a chance to try out the new system before it becomes available to the general public later in the year. update, rapid by Microsoft standards, “shows how much more responsive our engineering has become.”

Many of the new features have been shown already. A three-day Build conference, which started Wednesday in San Francisco, gives Microsoft developers a chance to learn more about the new system and try it out.

It also will give the company a chance to explain some of the reasoning behind the update and sell developers on Microsoft’s ambitions to regain relevance lost to Apple’s iPad and various devices running Google’s Android software.

One big problem is the fact that Windows 8 doesn’t work well on smaller screens, making Windows tablets less

competitive with cheaper tablets such as Apple’s iPad Mini, Google’s Nexus 7 and Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD. Microsoft built Windows 8 primarily to run on tablets with 10-inch to 12-inch screens, and it is trying to address that shortcoming in Windows 8.1.

It’s crucial that Microsoft sets things right with Windows 8.1 because the outlook for the PC market keeps getting gloomier.

IDC now expects PC shipments to fall by nearly 8 per cent this year, worse than its previous forecast of a 1 per cent dip. IDC also anticipates tablets will outsell laptop computers for the first time this year.

Microsoft is addressing that shift by banking its future on touch controls.

It has since been expanded to include the cyclic output of a wind farm.

Subsequently, from that time, there have been more plants built in Germany, Texas, California, New York and Alabama.

In the U.K. and Canada, companies are working on creating more efficient equipment and developing technologies for novel compressed air storage systems making the technology available to a wider variety of end users.

Modern advances and materials are making CAES rival battery banks in efficiencies, and they surpass batteries with an obvious low environmental impact.

In Memoriam

KRISTIANSON Dr. Ivar Johan 1927 - 2013 Dr. Ivar Johan Kristianson, D.C. was born at Andenes, Norway on June 26, 1927 and passed away on Thursday, June 27, 2013 after a courageous battle with cancer. At the age of eighteen months, Ivar immigrated to Canada with his parents and moved to a homestead in southeastern Saskatchewan, in the Bromhead area, a farming community where he grew up and completed his schooling. He then moved to Estevan, Saskatchewan, where he attended Bible school and met his wife Ivy. Ivar had various careers before joining the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, Toronto, Ontario in 1952, graduating with honours. Ivar and Ivy then returned to Estevan, where he practiced until 1988, then relocated to Red Deer, Alberta, where he practiced until 2002. After fortysix years of his chiropractic professional career that he loved and was so passionate about, Ivar chose to retire. Aside from his career, Ivar was also very involved in his communities; serving on numerous boards - President of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, and in Saskatchewan: the Chiropractic Examiner’s Board, President of Estevan Rotary Club, founder and supporter of the Saskatchewan Medical Health Care system, President of Western Christian College and an active member of both the Estevan and the Downtown Red Deer Rotary Club. Ivar will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Linda Neumann-Raiwet, daughter Karen Ann Kristianson-Cooper, step-daughter Shonna (Pat LaMontagne) Raiwet and two granddaughters, Jessica Ivaree and Rachel Erin Hodgson. Ivar will also be fondly remembered by his four sisters, Marie Pennock, Bettye (Mike) Whittaker, Ellen (Alvin) Jennings and Ruby (Roger) Olson, his younger and only brother Dr. Richard (Joyce) Kristianson, D.C., numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and many great friends throughout Norway, Canada and the U.S.A. Ivar was predeceased by his parents Alfred and Andora Kristianson, his first wife Ivy (Johnson), second wife Dr. Dee Istrati, D.C. and step-daughter Sherri Raiwet. Words of gratitude will never be enough for all of the nurses at the Red Deer Hospice for all the loving care and attention given to Ivar, as well as the Doctors and nurses of Unit 32 at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, volunteers, family and friends for their kindness and support. In lieu of flowers donations may be made directly to the Red Deer Hospice Society, 99 Arnot Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 3S6 and/or Clearview Christian Camp, Kenosee Lake, SK S0C 2S0.

LUND Eileen (nee Birchmore) 1923 - 2013 Madelaine, Curtiss and Mark regret to report that their mother Eileen quietly passed away at the Red Deer Hospital June 19, 2013. The family would like to thank all the staff on the cardiac and palliative care wards for their kind and excellent support. Mum was predeceased by our dad, Bud (2011), and all her siblings.

She is survived by Madelaine and Lee Hicks, Curtiss and Mary Lund, Mark and Lois Lund (Hans, Anna and Eric).

Mum was born in Sussex, England the daughter of a successful baker and grocer.

After graduating from high school in 1942 she worked for the British post office until the end of the war. Mum met Dad towards the end of the war, and after a brief courtship, m a r r i e d h i m o n J u l y 11 , 1945; she followed him to Canada some 6 months later on a ship load of “war brides.”

These war brides became her “Canadian sisters” and lifelong friends. Mum joined Dad and Grand-dad in the family business, Lund’s Red Deer Florists. Mum worked alongside Dad for 37 years in the shop. Mum’s interests were her family, the business and service to the community.

She belonged to both service and fraternal organizations.

She was an active member of St. Luke’s Anglican Church her whole life. In retirement, Mum enjoyed travel with family and friends, entertaining, and maintaining a home where family and friends were always welcome for a great meal or place to stay.

Mum’s wish is that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Red Deer SPCA, or to the St. Luke’s Anglican Church - Building Fund. Mum has been cremated and a memorial service will be held at St. Luke’s Anglican Church (4929-54 Street, T4N 2G7), Red Deer, on July 11, 2013 at 11:00 a.m., lunch in the hall afterwards, with interment at the Red Deer Cemetery Graduations later that afternoon.

Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.reddeerfuneralhome.com Arrangements entrusted to RED DEER FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORIUM 6150 - 67 Street, Red Deer.

We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Love Dad, Mom, Braeden, Katelynn; Grandpa Ron, Grandma Leona, Uncle Brent; Grandpa Enos, Grandma Ruby; Auntie Karmyn, Uncle Doug and family

3-D ORGAN PRINTING

Texas state senator filibusters her way to Democratic stardom STOPS PASSAGE OF ONE OF AMERICA’S TOUGHEST SET OF ABORTION RESTRICTIONS while he was performing late-term abortions.

Last week, the Republicanled U.S. House passed a bill that would ban almost all abortions after 20 weeks’ gestation.

While the bill stands no chance in the Senate and is constitutionally questionable, its supporters say it will be an issue that energizes conservative voters in the 2014 elections.

“Just talking about the economy all the time, jobs and the economy, doesn’t motivate people to get out and vote,” said Marilyn Musgrave, R, a former congresswoman from Colorado who now serves as a vice president of the Susan B. Anthony List, an organization that recruits antiabortion women candidates to run for office.

Davis’s own political future has also become a hot topic.

As a newcomer to a legislature that meets in regular session for only 140 days every other year, the former city councilwoman was named “rookie of the year” by Texas Monthly magazine in 2009, and made the magazine’s list of 10 best lawmakers this year.

Davis had already established a reputation for stepping up in a fight.

The filibuster on the antiabortion legislation was actually her second of note; in 2011, she did the same in the closing hours of the legislative term in an attempt to stop a budget bill that included education cuts. Perry was forced to call a special session to get them through.

So it is no surprise that she has become one of the GOP’s top electoral targets. Next year, she is up for reelection in a district where she has eked out two narrow wins.

The question now is whether she takes advantage of her newfound stardom to make a bid for statewide office — something no Texas Democrat now holds.

Wendy Davis strode onto the floor of the Texas Senate chamber on Tuesday in rouge-red running shoes, and came off it early Wednesday morning as the Democratic Party’s newest star.

During 13 hours in between, the little-known legislator from Fort Worth delivered a filibuster that electrified social media and stopped passage of one of the nation’s toughest set of abortion restrictions in the waning hours of a special session.

As word spread, supporters thronged the capitol’s entrances, lined the walkways encircling the rotunda and turned the Senate chamber’s gallery into a cheering section.

What made the scene so riveting was the woman who was required to speak without a break, without straying from the topic and without even leaning on her antique walnut desk.

As time ran out, Republicans deemed her to have violated those rules — including once for being helped with a back brace — and made her give up the floor.

Such was the bedlam, however, that when the 19-10 vote finally happened, it came several minutes too late for a midnight deadline.

That kind of tenacity has also been the story of her life. Davis, 50, became a mother while still in her teens, lived for a time in a trailer park and graduated with honors from Harvard Law School.

As she spoke, Twitter registered 400,000 tweets with the hashtag #standwithwendy. One of them came from the official account of President Barack Obama, and said: “Something special is happening in Austin tonight.”

But it was a rare — and likely temporary — victory for abortion rights advocates.

Davis succeeded in running out the clock on the session. So late Wednesday afternoon, Texas Gov.

Rick Perry, R, announced that he would call the legislature back for another special session, to begin July 1. The abortion bill appears certain to be considered again, and if the Republican leadership acts quickly enough, it will not be subject to a filibuster.

“Obviously, if he brings that back again and the management in the capitol on both sides manages time better than they did when we started this past special session, that bill will pass,” Davis conceded in an interview.

The legislation would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, which is about four weeks before a fetus is viable; mandate abortion clinics to meet the same standards as hospital-style surgical centers; and require doctors who perform the procedure to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.

Advocates of the legislation say it is a means of assuring abortion is safe; opponents say it would force nearly every abortion clinic in the state to close.

In the 2012 presidential and senate elections, Republicans felt a backlash for waging what Democrats branded a “war on women,” particularly on questions involving contraception and abortion.

But there is a political tide pulling in the other direction.

During the more than two years since the 2010 elections strengthened Republican power in state capitals across the country, many have moved to put new limitations on abortion.

Last year alone saw 19 states enact 43 new provisions aimed at restricting abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, an advocacy and research organization that promotes abortion rights, but produces data that is often cited by advocates on both sides of the issue.

The abortion debate has revived in Washington as well following the conviction last month of Philadelphia physician Kermit Gosnell, who was found guilty of three acts of first-degree murder in the deaths of infants born alive
