Flood Aid concert raises $1.4M

BY BILL GRAVELAND THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Calgarians boogied in a different kind of boots Thursday night at a sellout concert in Calgary for Alberta flood relief.

In honour of the work of volunteers and those who were forced to clean out mud and garbage from water-soaked homes in the severe flooding that devastated southern Alberta eight weeks ago, many of the 32,000 people on hand were wearing rubber boots.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper was a surprise guest at the event and spent the evening in the stands along with Alberta Premier Alison Redford.

Despite a star-studded lineup that included Loverboy, Nickelback, Jann Arden, Randy Bachman, the Sheepdogs and Ian Tyson, some of the biggest applause was for Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who acted out a lifelong dream of introducing a band at a rock concert.

“I’ve always wanted to be a rock and roll announcer. Some people want to be on stage and I wanted to

be an announcer,” Nenshi told master of ceremonies Brent Butt.

“Here we go — Ladies and gentlemen, give it up — for Tom Cochrane!”

Butt, star of TV’s Corner Gas, kept the show moving along and told the crowd they were part of history.

“We’re going live all over the planet. This is going out on the internet, which I don’t know if you’ve heard — it’s worldwide.”

SUNMAZE IN BLOOM

EXPLORING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

Although the staff at the Bowden Sunmaze, such as Natasha Zyderveld and her mother, Katrina, of Olds, are waiting for the sunflowers to bloom, the lilies and other ornamental flowers are showing their fine colours on the farm west of Bowden. The SunMaze is open for people to wander through and get lost and found in and will likely come in to full bloom soon. Other activities on the Eagle Creek Farm, about 7 km northwest of Bowden, include you pick vegetables and flowers and a corn maze. For further information, log on to www.sunmaze.ca.

Climate aside, Central Alberta has much in common with Arizona and Australia.

Some of those similarities were highlighted on Wednesday and Thursday, when Central Alberta: Access Prosperity hosted visitors from both warmweather jurisdictions.

Michael Carroll, vice-president of business attraction with the Arizona Commerce Authority, toured Red Deer College’s Centre for Innovation in Manufacturing, industrial sites and the Red Deer Airport, among other places.

He also met with local business operators and politicians, including at a Wednesday evening networking dinner in Red Deer.

Carroll described how his state has a well-educated and youthful population, is business-friendly with low taxes and favourable regulations, and enjoys strong transportation links.

“Within a 16-hour drive you have access to almost 70 million people,” he said.

Arizona’s key sectors are aerospace and defence, renewable energy, science and technology (particularly in the medical field), and small business innovation, said Carroll.

Veer confirms plans to enter mayoral race

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Third-term Red Deer city Coun. Tara Veer is putting an end to the rumours and joining the mayor’s race.

Veer confirmed her plans to run for mayor on Thursday at Veterans Park, surrounded by friends, family, onlookers and veterans.

“I feel ready for a new mandate,” said Veer. “I have a great vision and I want to be able to work with the people of Red Deer and for me to be able to accomplish what I hope to accomplish with and for the people of Red Deer, I need a new mandate and a new level of authority to do that.”

Veer, 35, said she chose the location because she wanted to thank those who served the country because without them, she would not be in a position to serve any elected position.

“If we make wise decisions in the short term, then I think in long term Red Deer can absolutely live up to even greater possibilities than we have accomplished before.”

Mayor Morris Flewwelling will not seek another term after 21 years on council.

In January, Coun. Cindy Jefferies, also a thirdterm councillor, announced she would be seeking the mayor’s position.

“You have to run your own race,” said Veer. “I think throughout the campaign . . . obviously that has been an undercurrent in the community, will two incumbents run in a race against each other? But my position is: I am going to say who I am and what I stand for. So I am running for Red Deer and not against someone.”

RCMP spokesman died of suicide by hanging VANCOUVER — A former RCMP spokesman who became the face of the Mounties in the early days of the Robert Dziekanski story, only to face allegations that he and the force misled the public about what happened during the Polish immigrant’s fatal confrontation with police, has died by suicide, the B.C. Coroners Service confirmed Thursday.

Pierre Lemaitre died on July 29 after he was found hanging in his home in Abbotsford, the coroners service said in a news release. Emergency personnel attended Lemaitre’s home, but could not resuscitate him.

“The B.C. Coroners Service expresses its sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Mr. Lemaitre,” said the news release, which indicated Lemaitre’s family had asked for privacy.

Most recently, Lemaitre was posted to the RCMP’s traffic services division.

Lemaitre was the officer in charge of RCMP media relations in the British Columbia when, in the early hours of Oct. 14, 2007, reports first surfaced that a man had died after he was stunned with a Taser at Vancouver’s airport.

Lemaitre’s initial accounts described a distraught man who was “behaving irrationally,” and he said RCMP officers only resorted to the Taser to “immobilize the violent man,” who Lemaitre said fought through the effects of the stun gun after falling to the ground.

He repeatedly described Dziekanski as “combative” and at one point said during an interview with the CBC that there was no video camera in that area of the airport.

Lemaitre also said Dziekanski was only stunned twice, though it emerged later that the Taser had been deployed five times.

It turned out that there was a video, shot by a traveller, and that Lemaitre had watched portions of the video before issuing the first news release detailing the in-custody death, the Braidwood inquiry into Dziekanski’s death heard.

When the video emerged a month later, it appeared to contradict the official accounts from the RCMP. While Dziekanski was, indeed, seen throwing furniture and yelling in the international arrivals terminal, on the video he appeared relatively calm when the RCMP officers arrived, with his hands at his side.

By the time the video became public, Lemaitre was no longer handling media inquiries about the incident. Those duties had been transferred to a spokesperson for the region’s homicide unit two days after Dziekanski’s death.

The case fuelled a national debate about Taser use and led to the two-part public inquiry that examined the stun guns and the specific circumstances around Dziekanski’s death.

Lemaitre testified at the inquiry in the spring of 2009, telling the hearings he was simply relaying what Cpl. Dale Carr, who handled media relations

STORIES FROM A1

CONCERT: Looks ahead to the future Calgary songstress Jann Arden paid tribute to those people who worked together during the floods.

“You know what this show is about to me?” said Arden. “It’s about good neighbours. I’ve got good neighbours and I’ve met tens of thousands of neighbours I didn’t even know I had.

“I think we all gained from the experience this summer . . . you guys were amazing.”

Nenshi said the concert is not about looking back at what happened during the floods but ahead to the future.

“It was eight weeks ago today that the Bow and Elbow Rivers crested. It was eight weeks ago tonight that I was wandering around the city wondering how we were ever going to recover,” Nenshi said.

“Here we are. Thirty thousand plus people here, not just celebrating but reinvigorating themselves for the next phase of work which is going to be just as hard.”

Organizers of the event said a cheque of $1.4 million was going to be written after the concert but it was hoped the final total would be around $2 million.

Jeff Parry estimated that the sellout crowd was around 34,000 when volunteers were factored in.

With bright sunshine and a temperature around 29 C, conditions couldn’t have been much better.

“Tonight is the exact opposite of the whole flood,” said Parry. “This is the perfect storm and that was the worst storm.

“I’ve been in this business 35 years and this is the coolest thing I’ve ever been part of. It’s kind of a rush seeing this.”

Fans were lined up a couple of hours before the gates opened at McMahon Stadium. Roy Williams, who was hit by the floods in High River, brought his wife and a bunch of relatives from the United Kingdom.

“We were in the flood area but we were one of the fortunate ones really, but we have so many people around us who are not as fortunate as we are. It’s fantastic,” he said.

“It’s a tremendous idea. Everybody’s doing something to try and help in some way. We’ve got family over from the UK, too, so we thought no greater thing to do but to bring them here this week.”

Kim Schubert and her mother Shelley were also there to raise money for the flood effort. She said the concert was a great idea.

“Absolutely. I haven’t heard of any other events quite this large for a cause like this in Calgary. They do them in the United States but we don’t really see them this much up here so it’s nice to see everyone come together for an event like this.”

DELEGATIONS: Expanding market access a priority Its biggest areas of export to Canada are in the transportation, agriculture and equipment sectors, he said, while the leading imports coming back are in transportation, equipment and forest products.

“We are building a solid, enduring relationship,” said Carroll of Arizona and Canada, which combined in 2011 for $3.5 billion worth of trade.

Teresa Woo-Paw, Alberta’s associate minister of International and Intergovernmental Relations, said the two jurisdictions recognize the importance of small business as an economic driver and the need to minimize taxes and bureaucracy.

“I see that Arizona’s similar pro-business antired-tape approach has also yielded impressive results,” she said.

Woo-Paw added that Arizona and Alberta are both seeking to enhance their international competitiveness.

“Alberta’s No. 1 economic priority is expanding market access for our products, and attracting more global investment.”

Visits like Carroll’s are an important step toward achieving that priority, said Matt Cornall, an investment attraction officer with Central Alberta: Access Prosperity.

He explained that building relationships between economic development organization like the Arizona Commerce Authority and Central Alberta: Access Prosperity helps set the stage for cross-border investment and trade.

“The ACA can help our local companies navigate Arizona’s market, with their extensive knowledge of Arizona’s opportunities, business networks and pitfalls,” said Cornall.

He agreed that Arizona and Alberta have much in common, including relatively small populations spread over large land masses, and economies that have diversified from agrarian roots.

Coinciding with Caroll’s visit was a tour by a delegation from the Australian state of Queensland.

Consisting of 14 people, including business operators and politicians, they spent time at Olds College and Olds businesses, chatted with Red Deer Mayor Morris Flewwelling and participated in a Thursdaymorning breakfast meeting with economic development officials.

Cornall said the Surat Basin region, where the group came from, parallels Central Alberta in that it has been agricultural-focused but is becoming a growing service centre for the energy sector. They were eager to learn how Central Alberta has adapted to a similar transition, he said, and associated issues like labour shortages and social challenges.

“Companies and municipalities in Alberta have become seasoned at seizing the opportunities, as well as addressing the issues, that arise within the oil and gas industry,” said Cornall. “There is a lot of knowledge here in Central Alberta that we can provide to this group by way of lessons learned and strategies developed.”

The relationships that result could create opportunities for Central Albertans, he continued, citing investments, joint ventures and knowledge exchanges as examples. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

for the region’s homicide unit, had told him.

Carr, in turn, said he couldn’t recall what information Lemaitre got from him and what he may have heard during briefings with investigators.

Carr acknowledged at the inquiry that he recognized errors in what Lemaitre had told the media almost immediately, but he also told the inquiry he was ordered by his superiors not to correct the record, on the grounds that the RCMP should not be discussing evidence.

Braidwood rejected allegations at the inquiry that either Lemaitre or Carr purposely attempted to mislead the public.

Instead, retired appeal court justice Thomas Braidwood said in his final report that Lemaitre appeared to be doing his best to inform the public about an investigation that was in its early stages and had yet to determine all of the facts.

Braidwood wrote that he was “impressed” with Lemaitre and Carr for what he described as an “exceptionally prompt response,” and he concluded that Lemaitre was not aware that some of the information he was releasing to the public was incorrect.

“In my view, a well-intentioned desire to inform the public about what had happened at the airport pre-empted the equally important goal of accuracy,” Braidwood wrote. “While I do not fault Sgt. Lemaitre for conveying to the public information about the incident that had been approved for release, in hindsight, it would have been preferable to avoid any detailed discussion of the circumstances at that early stage in the investigation.”

Child rescued from hot car FATHER, 33, CHARGED UNDER THE CRIMINAL CODE WITH CHILD ABANDONMENT

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Police have arrested an Edmonton man after his two-yearold son was discovered in a sweltering car in an underground parkade.

A person working at a downtown office building attached to the parkade noticed the boy strapped into his car seat in the back of a sedan, in obvious distress, and called police on Wednesday afternoon.

Const. Steven Kilpatrick recalled Thursday that it was about 28C outside and just as hot inside the parkade when he arrived.

The car’s front windows and sun-

roof had been slightly cracked open but there was no air circulating in the parkade.

He talked briefly with the boy through a window then tried to reach the car’s owner. When that failed, he broke the driver’s side window and got the boy out.

The child had been inside for at least 45 minutes, said Kilpatrick.

“He was very sweaty and quite slowmoving.”

Paramedics checked over the boy and he was otherwise fine, said Kilpatrick. The child’s father showed up about 10 minutes later.

“The parent informed me that they had gone to run an errand and subse-

quently lost track of time, which, of course, is no excuse at all.”

The 33-year-old man has been charged under the Criminal Code with child abandonment. It’s not know when he is to appear in court.

Sgt. Gary Willits with the force’s child at risk response team said officers took care of the boy until he was later returned to his mother.

He said police get about five calls each week about children left alone in vehicles.

Last month, a three-year-old Edmonton girl died after she was found inside a car during a heat wave. In that case, though, police determined it was an accident. The girl had not been left by

a parent and the vehicle was unlocked.

“We saw how quickly it can happen and unfortunately what happened yesterday could have been the same result,” said Willits.

In July, police charged a Toronto father with child abandonment after a nine-month-old girl was left in a hot car in Oakville, west of Toronto.

Police have been trying to educate parents but it doesn’t seem to be working, Willits said. Officers are now being encouraged to lay charges.

“It’s just frustrating when we continuously try to get this message out and it doesn’t seem people are hearing us or understanding us.”

Officials with the Bissell Centre declined comment, saying they weren’t aware of the incident.

Police say the Bissell Centre asked officers to go in and help.

A jocular letter of complaint addressed to the head office of Tim Hortons has found a broad, receptive audience that seems to agree with Bryan Hansen’s main beef — that the lids the coffee giant places on its cardboard coffee cups are far from tops.

Coffee lid beef finds receptive audience

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A Calgary coffee lover has started a conversation brewing about one of the country’s most popular java chains, and it seems the public doesn’t want to put a lid on it anytime soon.

A jocular letter of complaint addressed to the head office of Tim Hortons has found a broad, receptive audience that seems to agree with Bryan Hansen’s main beef — that the lids the coffee giant places on its cardboard coffee cups are far from tops.

Hansen said his years as a Tim’s regular left him with his fair share of depleted drinks and scorched skin as coffee oozed out from under ill-fitting lids.

The final straw, however, came on Wednesday when a newly purchased coffee spilled in spectacular fashion all over his freshly reconditioned truck console.

“After having the vehicle detailed, I was like, ‘enough is enough,”’ the 28-year-old environmental consultant said in a telephone interview from Calgary. “I kind of had a flashback to every time that it’s ever happened to me and I was like, ’you know what? I’ve got a little bit of free time this morning, I’m going to write them a letter about it.”

The result shows no sign of the frustration he felt while sitting in his coffee-stained truck.

Hansen’s missive strikes a tone of levity from the address line where he debates whether to direct it to the attention of the company’s “Lid Manag-

er,” “Product Containment Engineer” or “Liquid Suppression Expert.”

The letter continues in the same vein, with Hansen mixing light-hearted pop culture references with genuine complaints about the quality of the company’s lids.

He describes them as “the worst thing to happen to Canadian popular culture . . . since Avril Lavigne married Chad Kroeger” in one sentence, then immediately shifts to gentle criticism of a design that exposes people to major messes and minor burns.

“I’m not calling it BP Oil Spill Bad... but I’m also not saying it isn’t,” Hansen quips before adding a self-deprecatory remark about his first-world, uppermiddle-class problems.

Hansen’s letter is sprinkled with his trademark irreverence as he illustrates the perils of lids whose sealing mechanism has the potential to inflict pain.

“I end up with scalding hot coffee on my face and on my shirt because your lids do not open in a consistent manner which thereby makes it impossible for one’s lips to create an adequate seal around the edge of the coffee cup,” he writes. “This results in hot leakage. Very Hot Leakage (rights reserved for a future Adult Film title.) So there I am in pain; shaking, burnt and bleeding. It’s at this time I ask myself ”is this coffee, or is this Fight Club?“ Hansen calls on the company to redesign the troublesome tops and concludes by sharing the results of a tongue-in-cheek facebook poll he conducted, adding at least seven per cent of his friends share his views.

ALBERTA PRAIRIE RAILWAY EXCURSIONS

EDMONTON — The Edmonton police say it was a routine cleanup, but some homeless people in the city say they have lost nearly everything they owned.

Terry Smith, a homeless man who kept his belongings in a shopping cart near the Bissell Centre, says the officers moved in Tuesday and took everyone’s carts, belongings and all.

Smith says they were given very little time to get organized and all he managed to snag were his sleeping bag and backpack.

He says he’s been left without so much as a hoodie or a sweatshirt.

Edmonton police say encampments in the area were getting out of hand and posing a health risk.

A spokesman says the officers worked with the homeless individuals to determine what could and couldn’t be taken away.

But Wallis Kendal of iHuman, a group that works with low-income Edmontonians, says such cleanup operations should be left to social agencies rather than police.

“They need belongings, they need blankets, they need pillows,” Kendal says of the homeless.

“It’s not a police problem, so I would just say they’re in the wrong place — the police — at the wrong time. “Somebody else could have done

Verizon on the horizon?

LETTING U.S. GIANT INTO CANADIAN MARKET WILL HURT ECONOMY In our household, we share a cellphone with a plan that costs $15 a month. If I were to break down and purchase a phone of my own, I would examine a BlackBerry, for patriotic reasons, but would likely settle on an iPhone, because my two-year-old granddaughter could show me how to use it.

All of which GREG qualifies me to NEIMAN comment on the war between Canada’s three largest telecom suppliers, and U.S.-based Verizon, which is attempting to break into the Canadian market.

“Breaking in” is an apt description of Verizon’s attempt to purchase either Wind or Mobilicity, two comparatively tiny Canadian companies struggling against the corporate giants, Bell Canada, Telus and Rogers.

Verizon, which has almost four times as many customers as the entire Canadian market put together, wants to use federal laws designed to allow small startups, who don’t have a lot of cash, to get a foothold in this apparently not-very-competitive market.

Verizon needs no “little guy” assistance to compete head-to-head with anybody, but the purchase of a junior telecom would give it licence to access Canadian bandwidth they could sell to customers. That bandwidth was created at the expense of the three larger Canadian companies.

In other terms, it’s like the Canadian government passing laws allowing a small railway company to rent the tracks built by Canadian National or Canadian Pacific rail companies — at a discount — in the name of encouraging competition. Except that Amtrak bought the company which got the licence.

Rail customers might like the deal — at least at first. And in the case of cellphone services, if the federal government allows the sale (and it looks like it wants to do that), Canadian customers would probably see some early discounts.

But even in a country with a reputation for having the most costly cell-

INSIGHT

phone service in the world, the sort of competition being proposed here would most likely end up creating losers. Canadian losers.

As has already happened as the telecom war has heated up, share prices of the three darling Canadian companies have dropped significantly.

That may not affect you now, but it certainly affects Canadian workers with broadly-held RSP portfolios.

The telecoms are quite profitable right now (ask their customers). That has boosted share values and made them an ever-larger share of the baskets of stocks held by RSP fund managers.

Remember Nortel? At one point it represented about a quarter of the value of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and no mutual fund manager could sell a fund that did not contain it.

When Nortel went down in flames, it took a lot of people’s pension values with it.

Today, although it’s hardly on the same scale, it’s the same phenomenon with Verizon.

Under the laws set up by the federal government, Verizon, with its deep

pockets and ability to outlast any competitor in a price war, cannot lose.

That’s why share prices in Telus, Rogers, Bell Canada — and throw in the next largest telecom, BCE Inc. — have already begun to trickle downward.

Most Canadians with RSPs held in mutual funds have no idea what companies are in those funds, but you can bet a lot of them hold Canadian telecom stocks.

How have your RSP funds been doing these last couple years? How do you think they would perform if a U.S. giant like Verizon is allowed discount access to Canadian cellphone bandwidth they didn’t even have to pay to build?

Economics is about self-interest. So in your self-interest, would you rather shave 10 bucks a month off your cellphone bill today or see your RSP take a shave?

In the self-interest of thousands of other Canadians, let’s think about the employees of Telus, Bell Canada and Rogers. Manufacturing hasn’t been doing so good as an employment option in Canada.

Not everyone can be a pipeline welder, or snub an oil rig. Some good jobs will arise in the Canadian version of Verizon, but the total employment market in cellphone sales in Canada is rather finite. All the rest of the jobs will probably be folded into the existing Verizon sphere, probably far overseas.

So I don’t see this deal as being “good for Canada” in the long run. I don’t understand why the federal government seems so eager to see it happen.

Price competition in cellphone service seems to have improved recently. I wouldn’t know, our plan is many years old. The current Canadian market is worth tens of millions a month, with plenty room for both profit and competition.

Verizon’s U.S. market alone is in the hundreds of million a month. Why are we allowing them discount access to Canadian-built bandwidth under laws designed to assist small startups?

conviction that would impress even the most veteran Greenpeace activist.

It’s not like we’re trying to force-feed him steamed broccoli. He refuses all kinds of tasty offerings, because in his silly little boy brain, he doesn’t understand why we’re eating steak and potatoes when we could be eating ice cream cones.

Most of our dinners end with me trying desperately to bribe him into “three more bites.” When that fails, he’s forced to sit there staring at his cold food while the rest of us leave the table, but even this is not usually enough to break his steely toddler resolve.

In many instances, we’re forced to go to the Plan B meals like Kraft Dinner or PB and J sandwiches just to make sure he has something in his belly.

I think every parent stresses over their child’s nutrition to some degree.

More specifically, we worry about raising chubby kids.

It’s distressing and saddening to encounter children who have fallen victim to obesity at an early age.

For every obese kid out there, there is an adult or two who must shoulder the blame. It’s as if the parents are content to sentence these children to a lifetime of misery — bad health, poor mobility, diminished opportunity and, ultimately, a shorter life.

Earlier this week, CBC posted an article about a new Scottish study raising concerns that children of obese women have a higher risk of premature death from heart attacks and other cardiovascular events.

The study found that the risk of dying from any cause was 35 per cent higher in those children born to obese mothers compared to those whose mothers were of normal weight.

Protecting our kids from obesity begins and ends with a parent’s commitment to their own well-being.

We can’t expect our kids to eat right and stay physically active if we aren’t leading by example.

Kids are foolish, unreasonable creatures who would eat marshmallows and chocolate syrup for breakfast, lunch and dinner if we let them — and God knows that would be easier than getting them to eat real food.

Meal times are — and will continue to be — a constant source of turmoil in our household, but my headstrong, cookie-loving kids are eventually going to understand just how stubborn Mom and Dad can be.

It’s all for the better, ultimately, and it’s important to keep the longer perspective.

it’s own reports, and even seems to have disdain for them.

Recent government reports such as the 2006 Groenveld Flood Mitigation recommendations are too costly to the taxpayer to be ignored by the very government that commissions them.

Fairly, George Groenveld has stated that even if the report was followed, Albertans would not have been adequately prepared for a flood of the scope that we just have had.

The Alberta government also commissioned a costly, sensible Moving Ahead report that would

grandfather the severely disabled residents of Michener Centre to another area of the facility, so they could live out the remainder of their years with dignity.

Our current government not only ignored this report, but instead is trying to implement a very meanspirited, vague plan that continues to cause agony for aging guardians, who still do not know where or in what situation their child is going to end up. I know, because I was at the last meeting.

REHTAEH PARSONS CASE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Protester Donald Smith, from Calgary, stands outside provincial court in Halifax on Thursday. Two Halifax men facing child pornography charges after the death of Rehtaeh Parsons appeared in court and the case was put over until Sept. 19 while the defence seeks additional disclosure of evidence. man charged with distributing and making child pornography have been changed from earlier requirements that he not possess a cellular telephone or any device that can access the Internet, and that the man remain in Nova Scotia. The amendments approved Thursday removed the prohibitions on cellphones and Internet access, and allowed the man to travel outside the province after giving 24 hours’ notice to police.

The two men were charged after police reopened their investigation a week after the girl’s death. At the time, police said they had received new and credible information from someone who was willing to co-operate with their investigation.

After Parsons’ death the provincial government ordered a number of reviews including one into the original police investigation and the Nova Scotia

Canadian Pacific Railway to refuse order to pay for Lac-Megantic

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Canadian Pacific says it holds no financial responsibility for the Lac-Megantic rail disaster and its rejecting a legal demand by the Quebec government that it help pay for the cleanup in the devastated town.

The railway announced Thursday that it will appeal the province’s legal order.

The news came one day after the provincial government added CPR (TSX:CP) to a list of defendants that it says are responsible for picking up the tab for the massive mop-up in Lac-Megantic, where a train derailed on July 6 and dumped millions of litres of crude oil into the environment.

“Canadian Pacific has reviewed the notice. As a matter of fact, and law, CP is not responsible for this cleanup,” railway spokesman Ed Greenberg said Thursday.

“CP will be appealing.”

That legal notice demands that the companies named follow a provincial law that holds businesses accountable for the financial impact of an environmental disaster.

Environment Minister Yves-Francois Blanchet, who signed the order, responded quickly Thursday to CPR’s position.

“I will leave it up to lawyers, but let’s be clear: under the law on environmental quality, the minister does not ask for, or suggest, compensation ... he orders it,” Blanchet said in a statement.

“It’s not optional.”

BRIEFS

Testimony from police officer delayed at inquest into Winnipeg ER death WINNIPEG — Testimony has been delayed from a police officer who investigated whether criminal charges were warranted in the death of a man who waited for 34 hours in a Winnipeg hospital’s emergency room.

An inquest into the death of Brian Sinclair was to hear from the officer, who was expected to go over security tape of the double amputee’s wait in the ER. But Sgt. John O’Donovan won’t be testifying until a hard drive with all documents related to the criminal investigation has been distributed to lawyers.

A new date for O’Donovan to take the stand has not been scheduled.

The disaster killed 47 people and led to a mass evacuation in the community of 6,000. The derailment has since prompted a criminal investigation, several lawsuits, and concerns that locals may have to abandon Lac-Megantic’s oil-soaked downtown core.

In the legal notice, the province said CPR was the main contractor responsible for the fateful shipment that was supposed to transport crude from North Dakota oil fields to New Brunswick’s Irving refinery.

It handed off the train in Montreal to the smaller Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd., which then operated the tanker train that derailed in the heart of Lac-Megantic and set off a series of explosions.

MMA is already among the other companies on the legal notice, but the U.S.-based railway has said it can’t afford to pay and has requested bankruptcy protection.

In one court filing, MMA said its insurance coverage was $25 million and estimated the total cleanup cost would exceed $200 million.

On Wednesday, the Quebec government also added World Fuel Services Inc. to the legal notice. It’s a subsidiary of the petroleum-logistics firm World Fuel Services Corp., which was listed along with another of its branches, Western Petroleum Company, in the initial demand from the government.

The Miami-based World Fuel Services had bought the crude oil that was to be shipped to the refinery in St. John, N.B. The Quebec government had given CPR and World Fuel Services 24 hours to respond to the legal order.

But Conservative Sen. Carolyn Stewart Olsen says there are lingering questions about “quite a few” of those claims, which came to nearly $21,000.

A new law also went into effect last week in Nova Scotia that allows people to sue if they or their children are being cyberbullied. Victims can also seek a protection order that could place restrictions on or help identify the cyberbully.

After the two men were arrested last week, Rehtaeh’s father said the development brought the family some solace but he expressed disappointment that his daughter never saw justice served.

“She’s dead now. She’s gone,” Glen Canning said in an interview.

“It’s sad and in a way it’s a bit of relief that there may be some sense of justice done in this case.”

Hunt for illegal dentist goes country-wide

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — B.C.’s College of Dental Surgeons says the search for a dentist accused of practicing dentistry without a license has become a countrywide hunt and the college is offering a $2,000-reward to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of Tung Sheng Wu. The college says it believes Wu, known as David, was planning to set up shop in Toronto.

Wu is wanted on a warrant after not showing up in court this week to face contempt of court allegations that he violated a 2003 injunction ordering him to stop practicing dentistry.

Supreme Court won’t hear union’s appeal in Saskatchewan Walmart case WEYBURN, Sask. — Canada’s largest private sector union has been dealt a blow in its long legal battle with a Walmart store in Saskatchewan that is the retail giant’s only unionized outlet in the country.

The Supreme Court of Canada said Thursday it would not hear the United Food and Commercial Workers’ appeal of decisions by the Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board on union accusations of unfair labour practices.

That means an application to decertify the union at the store in Weyburn will proceed and will include votes already cast by employees at the Walmart in Weyburn. The votes were set aside until the court decision.

“We are pleased with the court’s decision,” said Andrew Pelletier, Walmart Canada’s vice-president of corporate affairs.

“Our associates in Weyburn voted more than 2 ½ years ago in a secret ballot on whether or not they wanted to be represented by the union, and they are still waiting for their votes to be counted.”

HALIFAX — The lawyer for one of the men facing child pornography charges after the death of Rehtaeh Parsons says reaction to the case on the Internet amounts to a rush to judgment.

After the two men made their first court appearances in the case Thursday, defence lawyer Josh Arnold said inappropriate comments have been made on social media sites about the young men since allegations first surfaced in April about cyberbullying that Parsons endured before she attempted suicide and was later taken off life-support.

“Individuals on the Internet and certain members of the media conducted their own one-sided trial in this matter. No due process was given,” said Arnold.

“Nobody should be tried and convicted without having a hearing, without having receiving disclosure, without having a fair trial.”

The cases of the two 18 year olds were put over until Sept. 19 because lawyers for the men are seeking further disclosure of evidence from the Crown.

One man faces two counts of distributing child pornography, while the other is charged with distributing and making child pornography.

Neither man showed emotion as they briefly stood in court. They left the courthouse without commenting.

Parsons’ parents were not in court but after the hearing her uncle made a plea for justice for his niece, saying she suffered deep distress before her death.

“This is terrible what happened. The level of anger and isolation that my poor niece, starting at 15 years old until she was 17 had to deal with is something a person her age should never, ever have to deal with,” Michael Parsons, 49, said outside court.

“I have absolutely no faith in the RCMP or the Halifax city police or the Crown prosecutors because they totally dropped this case. They totally dropped the ball.”

Rehtaeh Parsons was taken off life-support following a suicide attempt in April that her family says was prompted by months of bullying. They say the 17-year-old girl was tormented after a digital photograph of her allegedly being sexually assaulted in November 2011 was distributed around her school.

Police have said there were no plans to lay charges in connection with the alleged sexual assault.

The RCMP said earlier this year that they looked into the allegations of sexual assault and an inappropriate photo but after consulting with the province’s Public Prosecution Service, they concluded there weren’t enough grounds to lay charges.

The names of the teens who have been charged cannot be released because they were under the age of 18 at the time of the alleged offences and are charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Court records say the release conditions of the

Police authorized to use deadly force MOURNERS SEARCH FOR MISSING LOVED ONES AS DEATH TOLL FROM VIOLENCE SOARS TO 638

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EGYPT

CAIRO, Egypt — As the death toll soared past 600 on Thursday, weeping relatives in search of loved ones uncovered the faces of the bloodied dead in a Cairo mosque near the flattened epicenter of Islamist support for ousted President Mohammed Morsi.

Violence also spread, with government buildings set afire near the Pyramids, policemen gunned down and scores of Christian churches attacked.

As turmoil engulfed the country, the Interior Ministry authorized the use of deadly force against protesters targeting police and state institutions after Islamists torched government buildings, churches, police stations and cut main roads in retaliation for the crackdown on their encampments.

The Muslim Brotherhood, meanwhile, tried to regroup after the encampments were razed Wednesday and many leaders arrested, calling for a mass rally on Friday in a challenge to the government’s declaration of a monthlong nationwide state of emergency and a dawn-to-dusk curfew.

At least 638 people were confirmed killed and nearly 4,000 wounded in violence sparked when riot police backed by armoured vehicles and bulldozers smashed the two sit-ins in Cairo where Morsi’s mainly Islamist supporters had been camped out for six weeks calling for his reinstatement. It was the deadliest day by far since the 2011 popular uprising that toppled autocratic ruler Hosni Mubarak and plunged the country into more than two years of instability.

The Health Ministry said in a statement that 288 of those killed were in the largest protest camp in Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cairo’s Nasr City district, while 90 others were slain in a smaller encampment at al-Nahda Square, near Egyptian relatives and colleagues carry a coffin covered with a national flag of a policeman who was killed Cairo University.

Heat made the stench from the corpses almost unbearable inside the mosque, where posters of Morsi were piled up on in a corner.

Many people complained that authorities were preventing them from obtaining permits to bury their dead, although the Muslim Brotherhood announced that several funerals had been held for identified victims on Thursday. Fathallah denied that permits were being withheld.

Car bomb kills 14 in Hezbollah stronghold

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LEBANON

BEIRUT — A powerful car bomb tore through a bustling south Beirut neighbourhood that is a stronghold of Hezbollah on Thursday, killing at least 14 and trapping dozens of others in an inferno of burning cars and buildings in the bloodiest attack yet on Lebanese civilians linked to Syria’s civil war.

The blast is the second in just over a month to hit one of the Shiite militant group’s bastions of support in years, and the deadliest in decades. It raises the spectre of a sharply divided Lebanon being pulled further into the conflict next door, which is being fought on increasingly sectarian lines pitting Sunnis against Shiites.

Syria-based Sunni rebels and militant Islamist groups fighting to topple Syria’s President Bashar Assad have threatened to target Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon in retaliation for intervening on behalf of his regime in the conflict.

Thursday’s explosion ripped through a crowded, overwhelmingly Shiite area tightly controlled by Hezbollah, turning streets lined with vegetable markets, bakeries and shops into scenes of destruction and burning cars.

Dozens of ambulances rushed to the scene of the explosion and fire fighters used cranes and ladders in trying to evacuate dozens of residents from burning buildings. Some terrified residents fled to the rooftops of buildings and civil defence workers were still struggling to bring them down to safety several hours after the explosion.

The blast appeared to be an attempt to sow fear among the group’s civilian supporters and did not target any known Hezbollah facility or personality.

The state-run National News Agency said at least 14 died and 212 were wounded, distributed over four hospitals in the area. Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV put the death toll at 18.

The army, in a statement, said the explosion was caused by a car blast.

It called on residents to co-operate with security forces trying to evacuated people trapped in their homes.

Syria’s conflict has spilled across the border into its neighbour on multiple occasions in the past two years.

Fire from Syria has hit border villages, while clashes between Lebanese factions backing different sides have left

scores dead.

But direct attacks against civilian targets were rare until Hezbollah stepped up its role in Syria. Since then, its support bases in southern Beirut have been targeted. Since May, rockets have been fired at suburbs controlled by the group on two occasions, wounding four people. On July 9, a car bomb exploded in the nearby Beir al-Abed district, wounding more than 50 people.

However Thursday’s explosion was much deadlier than those, the bloodiest single attack in south Beirut since a 1985 truck bomb assassination attempt targeting top Shiite cleric Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah in Beir al-Abed left 80 people dead.

It came despite rigorous security measure taken in the past few weeks

by Hezbollah around its strongholds, setting up checkpoints, searching cars and sometimes using sniffer dogs to search for bombs. It also came a day before Hezbollah leader’s was scheduled to give a major speech marking the end of the month-long 2006 war with Israel.

The explosion occurred on a commercial and residential main street in the Rweiss district, about 100 metres (yards) away from the Sayyed al-

Shuhada complex where Hezbollah usually holds rallies.

Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, who has lived in hiding since his group’s 2006 month-long war with Israel, made a rare public appearance at the complex on Aug. 2, where he addressed hundreds of supporters.

He was to speak again on Friday from a location in southern Lebanon, but his speeches by satellite are often transmitted to followers at the complex.

Panicked Hezbollah fighters fired in the air to clear the area and roughed up photographers, smashing and confiscating some of their cameras following the explosion.

Sunni-Shiite tensions have risen sharply in Lebanon, particularly since Hezbollah raised its profile by openly fighting alongside Assad’s forces.

Lebanese Sunnis support the rebels fighting to topple Assad, a member of a Shiite offshoot sect.

A previously unheard-of group calling itself Aisha the Mother of Believers Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack in a video posted on YouTube, saying it is the second “message” they sent since last month’s blast in the area. The authenticity of the claim could not be independently verified.

NEED YOUR HELP! British stuntman dies in fall WE TIME IS RUNNING OUT GENEVA — He wasn’t a competitor, but Mark Sutton still got one of the biggest cheers of the 2012 Olympics.

Sutton, who was killed during a wingsuit jump in the Alps this week, was the skydiver who parachuted into London’s Olympic Stadium during the opening ceremony dressed as James Bond, alongside another stuntman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II. It was the punchline to a filmed sequence in which Daniel Craig’s Bond escorted the real queen from Buckingham Palace onto a helicopter — and, for many, the highlight of director Danny Boyle’s ceremony.

Swiss police confirmed that Sutton died Wednesday when he crashed into a rocky ridge near Trient in the southwestern Valais region. They gave his age as 42.

Wingsuits — aerodynamic jumpsuits that make wearers look like winged superheroes — allow fliers to jump from planes, helicopters and occasionally cliffs and soar long distances before opening parachutes to land.

Boyle on Thursday paid tribute to Sutton, saying he and fellow diver Gary Connery had “made the stadium gasp . . . and left indelible memories for people from all walks of life all over

the world.”

“The show was built from so many contributions from so many people, none finer and braver than Mark Sutton,” Boyle said.

“On behalf of everyone in the show we were all honoured to have worked with him and to have known him as a friend and a professional. ” London 2012 chief Sebastian Coe said Sutton was “a consummate professional and team player” who would be widely missed.

Online extreme sports broadcaster Epic TV said Sutton was killed during a gathering it had organized involving 20 wingsuit pilots who were filmed as they jumped from helicopters.

The firm said Sutton’s death was “a tragic loss for the global wingsuit community.”

The former British Army officer with the Gurkha Rifles who worked as a derivatives adviser was an accomplished skydiver.

He performed at the Olympics alongside his friend Gary Connery. Sutton was the tuxedo-clad Bond, while Connery wore a pink dress and wig to play the queen.

Connery told The Sun newspaper that he had lost a friend who was “smart, articulate and funny.”

UN appeals for $98M to meet North Korea critical humanitarian needs

WORLD

BRIEFS

The United Nations is urgently appealing for $98 million to meet critical humanitarian needs in North Korea for the rest of 2013.

The U.N. said it has received only $52 million of the $150 million it appealed for to support the provision of food and agricultural materials, health and nutrition programs and water and sanitation improvements.

“Without sustained humanitarian support, the gains made the past 10 years in improving food security and the overall health and nutrition of the most

German tourist loses arm in suspected shark attack in U.S. WAILUKU, Hawaii — A German tourist has lost her arm in a suspected shark attack off Hawaii.

Maui County emergency responders said the woman’s right arm was severed below her shoulder Wednesday as she snorkeled about 50 yards (meters) off shore.

“She screamed and called for help,” said Maui Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga.

The arm was not found, Mainaga said.

The woman, who is about 20 years old, was helped to shore by two friends and a kayaker.

She was unconscious when she reached the beach and was rushed to a hospital.

A hospital spokeswoman did not immediately respond to phone messages.

The woman’s friends did not see the attack, and choppy water limited visibility. Mainaga said it is assumed that she was injured by a shark.

The attack was the eighth in Hawaii this year, according to state data, The Honolulu StarAdvertiser reports. Last year saw 11 attacks, the most in a dozen years and far above the annual average of 4.75.

Hawaii has not seen a fatal shark attack since April 2004.

vulnerable ... could be quickly reversed,” U.N. Resident Coordinator in North Korea Ghulam Isaczai said in a statement Thursday.

Isaczai said while the overall humanitarian situation has improved slightly over the last 12 months, around 2.4 million very vulnerable people need regular food assistance, and external assistance is vital.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on prospective donors to respond to the appeal. The U.N. chief “stresses that humanitarian assistance should not be linked to political or security considerations,” his spokesman Martin Nesirky said.

“The lifesaving operations of the United Nations in the country remain drastically underfunded,” Nesirky said.

Police wound armed motorist after hours-long standoff

Hempfest in U.S. state changes with marijuana’s legalization SEATTLE — A few things will be different at this year’s Hempfest, the 22-year-old summer “protestival” in Seattle where tens of thousands of people gather to use marijuana openly, listen to music and gaze at the mountains.

It’s the first such festival after Washington and Colorado became the first U.S. states to legalize marijuana use by adults over 21. Having won at the state level, speakers will concentrate on the reform of federal marijuana laws, which still treat the drug as illegal.

The Seattle police — who have long been lenient with Hempfest participants — will be busy handing out Doritos chips for snacks.

“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” said Sgt. Sean Whitcomb, department spokesman. “It’s meant to be ironic.”

The department has affixed labels to 1,000 bags of Doritos urging people to check out an online “Guide to Legal Marijuana Use In Seattle.”

Organizers are expecting as many as 85,000 people each day of the three-day event, which begins Friday.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Police shot and wounded an armed motorist in Pakistan’s capital Thursday after an hours-long standoff broadcast live on TV, during which he demanded the implementation of Islamic law in the country.

The gunman, Mohammad Sikandar, was armed with a pair of assault rifles that he fired periodically and was accompanied by his wife and two children.

He parked his car in the middle of one of Islamabad’s main roads leading to the parliament as police tried to figure out what to do.

Sikandar was shot after an altercation with a negotiator at the end of the nearly six-hour stand-off. He is alive but in critical condition, said Aisha Esani, a doctor at the hospital where he is being treated.

Islamabad police chief Sikandar Hayat said the gunman was from the town of Hafizabad in central Punjab province and appeared to have mental problems.

Drouin does it again GABRIEL LANDESKOG

LANDESKOG SIGNS EXTENSION The Colorado Avalanche and captain Gabriel Landeskog have agreed on a seven-year contract extension that will keep the young star in Denver through the 2020-21 season. Landeskog was the second overall selection in the 2011 NHL draft and he won the 2011-12 Calder Memorial Trophy as the league’s top rookie.

Last September, he became the youngest captain in league history at 19 years, 286 days, 11 days younger than Sidney Crosby was when he was named captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2007. The left winger has collected 31 goals and 38 assists in 118 career games.

CANADIAN OLYMPIC BRONZE MEDALLIST REPEATS AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MOSCOW — Derek Drouin wanted everyone to know his Olympic bronze medal last summer was no fluke.

He sent that message loud and clear Thursday at the world track and field championships, capturing another bronze in men’s high jump and setting a Canadian record in the process.

The native of Corunna, Ont., cleared 2.38 metres to finish behind Bohdan Bondarenko of Ukraine, who won gold with a jump of 2.41.

Mutaz Essa Barshim of Qatar took silver in 2.38 while reigning Olympic champion Ivan Ukhov of Russia finished fourth at 2.35.

“I wanted to prove this year that I deserved to be on the podium in London 2012, feels good to have accomplished that goal,” Drouin said.

Drouin’s bronze in at the London Olympics was the lone Canadian medal in track and field last summer, but he has company in Moscow. Decathlete Damian Warner (bronze) and heptahlete Brianne TheisenEaton (silver) have also been on the podium at the world championships.

Parades aims to extend record STAMPEDERS’ KICKER HAS HIT 36 STRAIGHT FIELD GOALS HEADING INTO WEEKEND MATCHUP

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Stampeders kicker Rene Paredes is hearing “keep it going” when he’s out and about in Calgary these days.

Working on an extension of the Canadian Football League’s record for consecutive field goals has felt a little easier than actually setting it.

Paredes admits he felt pressure for three weeks in July as he neared Paul McCallum’s record of 30 straight three-pointers without a miss.

Now with 36 heading into Saturday’s game in Vancouver against McCallum and the B.C. Lions, Paredes is forging new territory instead of trying to

cover ground already travelled.

“Now that the record is broken, I have nothing to worry about,” Paredes said Thursday.

“We go for the next kick. I don’t have to think about it.”

The 28-year-old passed McCallum on the second of five field goals he booted July 26 in Winnipeg. It was from a makeable 19 yards, but Paredes admits the following three from 26, 33 and 23 felt shorter.

“Those two or three weeks, there was a lot of pressure from media, you had the media going to you every day, your friends are texting you. You can’t get away from it,” he said.

“In Winnipeg, after I broke the record, the last three kicks, there was a lot of weight off my shoulders. I told everybody ’if it

happens, it happens’ but deep inside you really want it.”

Paredes is a perfect 18-for-18 so far this season. His last miss was Sept. 23, 2012. He leads the CFL in kicking points with 72, which accounts for more than a third of Calgary’s 204.

He was born in Venezuela, grew up in Florida and moved to Montreal in his teens when his father took a job there.

Paredes was preparing for his senior year as the Concordia Stingers’ kicker in 2011 when the Stampeders signed him as a free agent. His first CFL field goal was from 50 yards.

Paredes chalks his consistency this year up to a few factors.

As part of his pre-game preparation, Paredes walks the field visualizing kicking a field goal from a point on the field three times before moving on to do the same from another position.

Paredes and punter Rob Maver both signed multi-year contract extensions in the offseason, so Paredes isn’t won-

dering about his status with the team or job security.

“We’re know we’re the guys as long as we’re doing our job,” Paredes said. “That part of the business we don’t have to worry about. It feels stable.”

He and Maver work with former Alouettes kicker Don Sweet in the off-season and stay in contact with him during the season. Paredes credits Sweet with helping him keep a level head.

“The streak, he never mentioned it. He said ’just do your job,”’ Paredes said.

Paredes also says he doesn’t think about football when he’s away from the field.

“He comes to work, he’s got a good mental makeup and he takes each kick for what it is,” Stampeder special teams coach Mark Killam said. “He’s found his rhythm and we just try to maintain his rhythm.”

EDMONTON — Golf’s current trailblazers Stacy Lewis and Inbee Park have confirmed they will renew their fight for the top spot in the LPGA rankings next week at the CN Canadian Women’s Open.

But when Lewis and Park tee it up Aug 22-25, they will find the course at the Royal Mayfair Club has changed since the last Canadian Women’s Open in the Alberta capital in 2007.

Park, ranked No. 1, saw her points lead shrink a bit after Lewis won the Ricoh Women’s British Open Championship Aug. 4.

Park finished tied for 42nd on the Old Course at St. Andrews, but retains a healthy overall lead. She has a 12.77 world ranking average compared with 9.61 for the No. 2-ranked Lewis.

The British Open also ended Park’s bid to become the first golfer to win four majors in a row in the same tournament year.

Nevertheless, the 25-year-old putting demon from Seoul, South Korea — with six wins on tour in 2013 — is still the golfer to beat. Lewis, the 28-year-old from The Wood-

lands, Tex., has won three events this year.

Lewis and Park are the top two in scoring average, player points, and putts per greens in regulation. Lewis was ranked No. 1 overall in March only to be overtaken when Park reeled off five wins in her next nine tournaments. Both are known as precision hitters and keen readers of the green, which will serve them well on the Mayfair course, said club pro Robb James.

“It’s all about the second shot out here,” said James in an interview as crews around him raked, pruned, and mowed the course to prepare for the event. “(You’re) trying to find that perfect landing area so that you’ve got an opportunity to control your approach shot and get it on the right portion of the green. “(And) because our greens are large and have got some significant contouring, you better have a pretty good putting game to be able to try to convert the rare birdie opportunities you’re going to have on some of these very challenging par-fours.”

The Royal Mayfair is tucked into the river valley opposite the city’s downtown, surrounded for the most part by the winding North Saskatchewan River.

GRAND PRIZE

It is secluded and protected by towering poplar trees, but buffeted by winds that prevail from the northwest and can sweep and twist in different directions from hole to hole.

“It plays tricks in terms of the wind,” said James. “You’ve got that corridor where the wind just rips down the river valley and it can swirl around a bit.”

Any errant shot will force players to contend with 93 sandtraps, two man-made water hazards and greens that, depending on pin placements, will see golfers fighting to avoid overhanging tree limbs.

Since 200, when the open was won by Lorena Ochoa, there have been changes to the back nine, with crews moving sandtraps and reshaping the holes to present a greater challenge to hit more precise approach shots. The course is “not overly long,” with two par-fives, said James.

“It’s going to favour the great ball-strikers, the ones that can shape their shots, that can control their yardages,” he said.

“A big hitter just can’t step up here and blast it.”

Bombers desperate for a win after wild week

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — Chad Simpson knows the one way to stop more heads from rolling is for the floundering Blue Bombers to win a football game.

Stuck in a four-game losing streak and sitting at the bottom of the CFL East Division with a 1-5 record, the running back and his teammates host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-4) on Friday after a week of changes that came swift and furious.

President and chief executive officer Garth Buchko and general manager Joe Mack were fired last Friday, followed by a switch at starting quarterback, the signing of a new kicker and the hiring of an offensive consultant.

“The changes were made for the better of the team and that helps get rid of a degree of worry right there,” Simpson said Thursday.

“But it’s very important that we start winning now. The more we lose, then the more people go and we don’t want to have that.”

Keeping track of all the upheaval almost requires a flow chart.

Former Bombers fullback Wade Miller replaced Buchko as acting CEO and promptly fired Mack, bumping assistant GM Kyle Walters into Mack’s spot on an acting basis.

Out on the field, head coach Tim Burke went with his offensive staff’s decision to use their third starting quarterback this season, handing the reins to CFL rookie Max Hall for the Hamilton game in place of Justin Goltz. However, Goltz drops to No. 3 on the depth chart and veteran ex-starter Buck Pierce is Hall’s backup.

Former Hamilton head coach Marcel Bellefeuille was then hired to be a consultant for the offence on Monday and the club signed veteran kicker Sandro DeAngelis on Tuesday. He’ll replace place-kicker Justin Palardy against the Ticats.

“Here’s what I said to (the players) early in the week,” said Burke.

“I said, ’Well, why do you think the CEO and the GM got let go?’ And the answer was, ’Because we’re not winning enough games.’ I said, ’That’s exactly right so let’s get it going.”’

Burke admitted he didn’t get much sleep early in the week and that it was “one of the more stressful” weeks in his life, but he’s more positive after some good practices and senses more urgency in his players.

Hamilton defeated the visiting Bombers 25-20 on July 13 in a game in which Ticats quarterback Henry Burris was sacked seven times.

Burris said he’s focused on Winni-

peg’s defence — which he views as having the best front four in the league — and hasn’t paid attention to the chaos the Bombers went through.

After all, at 2-4 his team isn’t invincible to change.

“We’re only one win up on this team so we’re not far away from whatever’s going on. Our stuff stinks, too,” Burris said. “We’ve got to start winning games and doing it consistently. That’s where our focus is ’cause if we don’t do it, you’ll see us in the paper the same way.”

Winnipeg’s defence leads the CFL in sacks (24), but has allowed 9.1 yards per pass. Burris pointed out it’s on the field a lot so that could be a factor.

Hamilton tops the league with 1,842 yards passing (all but 39 of those yards from Burris) and the pivot is welcoming back slotback Andy Fantuz, who’s missed the past five games with a hamstring injury.

“It’s been a frustrating few weeks,” Fantuz said.

Then he grinned and added his teammates noticed his return.

“Even on the plane today, everyone’s asking me for ID and wondering who I am and stuff.”

Hall takes over a Winnipeg offence ranked fifth overall in scoring (22.5 points per game), but second-last in to-

tal yards (285.2) and passing (220.2).

He said he’s excited to try to lead the Bombers to their first win at new Investors Group Field, even though his last start was in 2010 with the NFL Arizona Cardinals.

Hall got into six games for the Cardinals and started three, winning only his first start. But that was “a good one,” he pointed out, as the victory was 30-20 over the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.

He was later injured and only played in some pre-season games the following season. Last year, he was a grad assistant and helped out his alma mater Brigham Young’s football team.

“I’m a little bit nervous, to be honest with you, as I should be, but I really feel confident and I’m more excited to get out there and play and to show what I’m capable of,” Hall said.

Hamilton’s defence could be ripe for the picking as it’s allowed a leaguehigh 31.2 points and 135.2 yards rushing per game.

Veteran Bombers receiver Terrence Edwards calculated it was his fourth year with three quarterbacks playing in the same season.

“It’s not hard anymore adjusting to quarterbacks because all I have to do is go out there and do my job and do my job well,” he said.

STORIES FROM B1

WORLDS: Realistic goal “I was joking after that I never thought I would only place third jumping 2.38 metres, I’m certainly not disappointed, it was an incredible competition,” said Drouin. “I felt like 2.41 metres was attainable but it’s always emotional when you set a personal best, getting another one in the same competition was a daunting task. That height is definitely a realistic goal for me now.”

Matthew Hughes of Oshawa, Ont., also broke a Canadian record, placing sixth in the 3,000-metre steeplechase in 8:11.64. Kenya’s Ezekiel Kemboi won his third straight gold.

“With a lap to go I knew I was on pace for (the Canadian record),” said Hughes. “I tried to stay with the Kenyan pack and fight all the way. It was a huge relief when I saw the time come up on the board.”

Alex Genest of Lac-aux-Sables, Que., placed 13th.

In men’s shot put, Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops, B.C., qualified seventh with a throw of 20.39.

“I have no clue what it will take to medal, that’s always a moving target,” said Armstrong. “It’s wide open. A lot of guys are in great shape, including me.”

Meantime, Sweden capped an eventful day with its first gold medal after one of its high jumpers set off a controversy over Russia’s anti-gay law in the morning with a rainbow-colored protest that drew pole vault great Yelena Isinbayeva into condemning homosexuality.

Abeba Aregawi won the closing 1,500 metres, beating defending champion Jenny Simpson of the United States with a great last-lap effort.

Earlier in the day, Aregawi’s teammate Emma Green Tregaro flaunted her rainbow-painted fingernails in the morning as she qualified for the weekend high jump final, a show of support of gays and lesbians in Russia. It set off Isinbayeva, the Russian pole-vaulting star, who criticized homosexuality and defended the new anti-gay law which has drawn sharp criticism and led Western activists to call for a boycott of next year’s Winter Olympics in the Russian resort of Sochi.

The law means that anyone wearing a rainbow flag on the street or writing about gay relationships on Facebook, for instance, could be accused of propagandizing.

“We are just against the publicity in our country and I support our government,” Isinbayeva said.

Green Tregaro posted a picture of her fingers on social media website Instagram, saying “Nails painted in the colours of the rainbow.” She followed that with several hashtags, including “pride” and “moscow2013.”

“If we allow to promote and do all this stuff on the street, we are very afraid about our nation because we consider ourselves like normal, standard people,” Isinbayeva said.

KICKS: Emotional Paredes became emotional July 20 when Montreal’s John Bowman blocked one of his attempted field goals. TSN commentators declared Paredes’ record bid over, but the CFL ruled that since the ball did not cross the line of scrimmage, it was a fumble not a miss. That kept Paredes 4-for-4 in the game and his consecutive streak intact at 29 — one short of the record.

Paredes was visibly upset as he walked to the sideline after Bowman’s block, but not because he thought the record was lost.

“I sort of knew the record was still intact because I sort of knew the rule,” he explained. “I was really mad at what had happened. If it was a game-winning field goal, we can’t do that as a unit.”

The Lions’ McCallum still holds the league’s single-season record for the highest percentage of field goals made at 94.3. Paredes wasn’t far off it in 2012 when he went 40-for-43 for a 93 per cent success rate.

Paredes is currently operating at 100 per cent and enjoying it while it lasts.

Tournament organizers have confirmed that other top-10 ranked players coming to Edmonton to fight for the US$2-million purse include: Suzann Pettersen (3rd), Na Yeon Choi (4th), Karrie Webb (6th) and Jiyai Shin (9th).

Other notables are: Paula Creamer (11th), Cristie Kerr (12th), Ai Miyazato (13th), Yani Tseng (14th), Hee Young Park (15th), and Angela Stanford (16th).

Lydia Ko of New Zealand (19th) — the winner of last year’s Canadian Women’s Open — is also confirmed.

Morgan Pressel, who finished tied for fourth at the recent British Open, along with Brittany Lincicombe, Natalie Gulbis, Michelle Wie, and Katherine HullKirk will also be among the 156 participants.

The Canadian contingent will be led by veteran Lorie Kane of Charlottetown.

She will be joined by Maude-Aimee LeBlanc of Sherbrooke, Que., Sara-Maude Juneau of Fossambault, Que., Rebecca Lee-Bentham of Toronto, Alena Sharp of Hamilton, and Stephanie Sherlock of Barrie, Ont. Competing by way of exemptions are: Samantha Richdale of Kelowna, B.C.; Jennifer Kirby of Paris, Ont.; Jessica Shepley of Oakville, Ont.; Augusta James of Bath, Ont., and Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont.

Buehrle leads Jays to win over Red Sox

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 2 Red Sox 1 TORONTO — Mark Buehrle doesn’t care how many hits he gives up as long as he’s keeping runs off the scoreboard.

The Blue Jays’ starting pitcher gave up 10 hits over seven innings but allowed just one run on Thursday as Toronto edged Boston 2-1 for its second win in a row.

“Sometimes it’s frustrating because they hit the crap out of the ball on their outs and then they don’t hit it pretty hard and they find holes,” said Buehrle.

“But look, it was a great game. We came back late.

“You try to throw up zeroes as long as you can and try to give your offence a chance and that’s exactly what happened tonight.”

The win improved Buehrle’s record to 9-7 and snapped a four-game losing streak against the Red Sox that dates back to 2009.

“I know I’ve struggled against them,” said the veteran left-hander. “You’ve got to have everything going your way. You got to have runs scored for you, you got to have defence behind you, bullpen’s got to save the lead.

“Again, a win’s a win. Don’t really matter against who it is. A win’s a win, it feels good.”

Toronto (56-65) struggled to get hits off Boston starter Jake Peavy (9-5). He struck out four and gave up two runs, one earned, on five hits over six innings of work.

The Red Sox (72-51) had no trouble getting on base, but struggled to bring home their runners, stranding 12 on base. Dustin Pedroia and Daniel Nava led Boston with three hits each.

“Tonight, the story is left on base. We created a number of opportunities,” said Red Sox manager John Farrell. “I thought we had a very good approach against Buehrle to build those opportunities, and then he made a number of quality pitches with men in scoring position.”

Peavy was in firm control for the first six innings of the game, giving up just two hits and striking out four as Boston held on to a 1-0 lead.

But the Blue Jays figured Peavy out in the seventh. Jose Bautista earned an infield single when Will Middlebrooks misplayed the ball at third base.

Edwin Encarnacion’s single up the middle then advanced Bautista to second.

Brett Lawrie drove Bautista home with another single to centre field, advancing Encarnacion to third with no outs.

That ended Peavy’s night with left-handed reliever Craig Breslow replaced him on the mound.

J.P. Arencibia then flied out and Kevin Pillar struck out swinging to end the inning.

“I was able to work myself into a good hitter’s count, just trying to hit a flyball to the outfield and give us the lead,” said DeRosa.

Darren Oliver came on for Buehrle to start the eighth, getting a quick out when Stephen Drew grounded to third base. Shortstop Jose Reyes then put Boston’s Ryan Lavarnway out at first base for the second out of the inning.

Nava stroked the ball off the centre-right field wall for a double and Oliver walked Middlebrooks to put runners on first and second, but the Toronto reliever got out of the jam by fanning Jacoby Ellsbury.

Junichi Tazawa pitched in the eighth for the Red Sox, dispatching Munenori Kawasaki and Reyes.

Rajai Davis reached first when his sharply hit single ricocheted off Tazawa’s glove to Drew at shortstop.

Although Drew was quick to get the ball to first base, he could not beat out the speedy Davis.

Davis stole second base and advanced to third when the pickoff attempt eluded Drew. However, Toronto’s inning ended when Bautista grounded out to shortstop Closer Casey Janssen got the final three outs of the game for the Blue Jays, earning his 22nd save of the season. He got Shane Victorino to ground out to second, then had Pedroia line out to right field before David Ortiz popped out to centre field.

Stroud, Fisher take first round lead at Wyndham

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GREENSBORO, N.C. — Chris Stroud doesn’t want any rust in his game for the PGA Tour’s playoffs. Ross Fisher just wants to make it that far.

Stroud and Fisher each shot 6-under 64 on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the Wyndham Championship.

Eight players — defending champion Sergio Garcia, Matt Jones, Robert Garrigus, Jordan Spieth, Trevor Immelman, Morgan Hoffman, Patrick Reed and Andrew Svoboda — shot 65.

John Senden and Stuart Appleby were among the five players at 66 at the final tournament before golf’s post-season begins next week.

It was the highest score for an opening-round leader since the tournament returned to Sedgefield Country Club in 2008.

Stroud had eight birdies during his best round of the year, which came at the Donald Ross-designed course that

PGA TOUR had vexed him through the previous five years.

“I’ve even told people I love this golf course,” Stroud said.

“I have no idea why I don’t play well here.”

Stroud could’ve easily skipped this week and rested up for the playoffs. He arrived at No. 48 on the points list and — unlike so many other players here this week — is assured of a spot in the playoff field.

He has played this tournament every year since the crosstown move but made it to the weekend only once — tying for 73rd last year.

After missing the cut at PGA Championship by a stroke, he said he “told my caddie, ’I got to play next week.’

“I’m playing too well to go home and just sit and get rusty,” Stroud said. “I said I want to get sharp for The Barclays. Let’s go to Greensboro, low expectations since

I haven’t played that great here.”

Those expectations might have been raised after a strong first round in which he made a quick charge up the leaderboard with three straight birdies.

The 31-year-old Texan, who started on the back nine, stuck his tee shot roughly 2 feet from the flagstick on the par-3 seventh and sank that putt to briefly move to 7 under.

He bogeyed the next hole after sending his tee shot into a water hazard, then pushed a 5-foot birdie putt wide on the par-4 ninth and settled for a par.

That capped a round that was two strokes better than his six 66s this year, most recently last month at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Fisher, a four-time winner on the European Tour who’s a rookie on the PGA Tour and at No. 162 on the points list, was

in the day’s final threesome to start on the back nine, and he made his climb late.

“My manager said, ’You’ve got nothing to lose. Just go out there all guns blazing and see what happens,”’ Fisher said.

“I know what I’ve got to do, and I’ve just got to go enjoy it, and if it’s meant to be, it’ll happen. ... I don’t want it to end here.”

He eagled the par-5 fifth when he landed his approach shot about 7 feet from the flagstick and sank the ensuing putt, then joined Stroud at 6 under two holes later with a 30-foot birdie putt. He could have overtaken him, but missed a 12-foot birdie putt on No. 8 before pushing a 40-foot birdie putt a few inches wide on No. 9.

Garcia, who claimed a twostroke victory here last year, hit 17 greens during his bogey-free round. He is trying to become the first player since Sam Snead in the 1950s to win this tournament in consecutive years.

“It was a great round today,

but it’s only Thursday,” Garcia said.

The greens were a hot topic of conversation among the players. The putting surfaces are a year more mature after a 2012 conversion from bent grass to Bermuda grass in an attempt to keep them firm and true to Ross’ intent.

Stroud said the greens “roll like pool tables,” Garrigus compared their speed to those found in major tournaments and Svoboda called them the fastest Bermuda greens he’s ever played.

“It’s unbelievable, the difference from where they used to be,” Garrigus said. “It’s very refreshing.”

Some bubble players are trying to play their way into the top 125 on the points list, which would earn them spots at The Barclays next week in New Jersey.

Peter Hanson, who at No. 126 was the consummate player on the bubble, gave himself a good push with a 68. Appleby, at No. 123, is in good shape with his strong round.

Owning Phoenix Coyotes a ‘dream come true” for Gosbee

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Growing up in Calgary, George Gosbee had a dream.

“Every boy wants to play in the NHL,” he said. “Once you realize that’s not possible, you change your focus and you start to think about owning a team.”

Not every boy goes right from thinking about being on the ice to overseeing all aspects of a hockey team as an owner, but Gosbee spent decades honing his business acumen and last week finalized the purchase of the Phoenix Coyotes with his IceArizona group.

Not far into his ownership odyssey, he called it a “total dream come true.”

“Everything’s on track for what we wanted to do and we’re making some progress,” Gosbee said in a phone interview this week. “So far there’s been no surprises.”

Maybe there were a few surprises.

Gosbee arrived at his Glendale office Wednesday to find flowers sent from a fan on his desk. When he was leaving an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game, a police officer stopped him just to say thank you.

“It’s the first time I’ve been stopped that way from a police officer,” Gosbee said. “I was really surprised by the outpouring and the thank yous coming in in this community. ... Everybody’s just been positive and appreciative of what we’ve done.”

To get the deal done, Gosbee and his partners, who include fellow Canadian businessmen Anthony LeBlanc and Avik Dey, had to go through the long process of getting NHL approval, securing financing and finishing up a lease deal for Jobing.com arena.

So when the Coyotes asked Gosbee to start using Twitter, he was overwhelmed by the flood of positive responses.

“That’s been pleasant because we’ve been really trying to grind out this deal for the last little while and we’ve been so focused in on the deal that we lost sense of why we were doing it,” he said.

In the long-term, Gosbee knew exactly why he was doing this. Through years of successful business ventures, the banker and financier became more and more fascinated with the prospect of owning a professional sports team.

Gosbee, 43, calls himself a “livesports junkie,” but at the core he’s a businessman.

“When this opportunity came up,” said Gosbee, who is chairman and chief executive officer of Albertabased AltaCorp Capital Inc. “I just had to keep putting that out of my head and keep focusing on the financial aspects of it.”

That wasn’t just the focus in buying the team. It remains Gosbee and LeBlanc’s goal moving forward, as they plan to let general manager Don Maloney and coach Dave Tippett work the on-ice product largely unimpeded.

“I’m not looking to run a team,” Gosbee said. “I think, especially in business, it’s all about people. We had a lot of confidence in what Don Maloney and Dave Tippett have done with this team, given all the adversity and obstacles and a limited budget. ...

“We believe in those two guys and want to provide them with all the financial resources we can and let them do their job.”

But from an ownership standpoint,

Gosbee is drawing from his youth in Calgary and not just his feelings and memories of when the Flames moved from Atlanta.

“When the Flames came to Calgary, I was the happiest kid on the planet,” he said.

“I remember how that group came to be, and it was a group of strong, successful, level-headed businessmen, very strong in the community and successful but not flamboyant. And they were all friends as well. So I took that model and put together a group of friends that were successful and similar to the Flames ownership.”

Gosbee and Co. can only hope to have the same success. But he concedes that Arizona in 2013 is a much different situation than Calgary in 1980.

“Back then you were really on your own when you owned a team,” Gosbee said.

“Now, we really bought one 30th of the NHL and we’re managing a team in Phoenix, so it’s a different concept now with regards to how the league works.

I’m kind of bullish on the structure, how it works, and that was another reason why I wanted to get into it.”

Mark Chipman and True North bought into that NHL ownership structure two years ago when the Thrashers moved and became the Winnipeg Jets.

And while new ownership gives the Coyotes something of a fresh start, this is a unique situation because it’s the same team that has played in Glendale with varying degrees of success and fan interest.

It’s a situation Gosbee sees the best in. He called the Coyotes’ mix of players one of the best in the league, citing the leadership of Shane Doan, and hopes to cultivate an even bigger fan base now that at least the short-term future is secure.

Flyers’ Giroux has surgery after injuring finger golfing THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Flyers captain Claude Giroux had surgery on his right index finger after getting injured on a golf course in Ottawa.

Giroux sustained tendon damage when a golf club shattered and splintered into his finger Thursday. It’s unknown what caused the club to shatter.

Giroux is expected to make a full recovery in five to six weeks. Last month, Philadelphia signed Giroux to an eight-year contract extension worth over $64 million.

Giroux was hurt playing overseas during the lockout last year and finished with only 13 goals and 48 points for the Flyers. He has 291 points (91 goals, 200 assists) in 333 career games spread over six seasons in Philadelphia.

MLB to expand instant replay in 2014

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Calling it a historic moment, Commissioner Bud Selig said Thursday that Major League Baseball plans to expand its video review process next season, giving managers a tool they’ve never had in an effort to dramatically reduce the number of incorrect calls made in games.

Selig made the announcement after two days of meetings with representatives of the 30 teams. The proposal is to be voted on by the owners in November.

“I’m proud of them,” Selig said of the replay committee. “It’s worked out remarkably well. It’s historic. There’s no question about it.”

A 75 per cent vote by the owners is needed for approval, and the players’ association and umpires would have to agree to any changes to the current system. But the announcement was met with mostly praise at ballparks across the country.

“This is the time. It’s time to make the right decision,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “It was not available several years ago. So, just live with it, understand it. It makes things better. It makes things more accurate, so what’s wrong with that.”

MLB vice-president Joe Torre gave the replay presentation to representatives from all 30 teams on Wednesday and it was discussed Thursday morning.

Atlanta Braves President John Schuerholz, a member of the replay committee along with Torre and former manager Tony La Russa, said the umpires were receptive to the change. Schuerholz said 89 per cent of incorrect calls made in the past will be reviewable, but he did not provide a list.

Umpires have come under increased scrutiny following several missed calls this season.

“We believe this will be very impactful and very, very meaningful and useful for all sides,” Schuerholz said. “Managers will have a new tool that they’ll have to learn how to use.”

Managers will be allowed one challenge over the first six innings of a game and two from the seventh

inning until the completion of the game. Calls that are challenged will be reviewed by a crew in MLB headquarters in New York City, which will make a final ruling.

A manager who sees a call he feels is incorrect can file a challenge with the crew chief or home plate umpire. Only reviewable plays can be challenged. Non-reviewable plays can still be argued by managers, who can request that the umpires discuss it to see if another member of the crew saw the play differently. Reviewable plays cannot be argued by the manager.

Challenges not used in the first six innings will not carry over, and a manager who wins a challenge will retain it.

The home run replay rules currently in use will be grandfathered in to the new system, Schuerholz said.

MLB expects to use the new system in the 2014 playoffs, and the system could be enhanced in the post-season. Training sessions for umpires will start in the Arizona Fall League this winter and continue into spring training.

“We know we have to prepare people for this,” Schuerholz said. “Everyone is embracing it. We believe managers will in time.”

Schuerholz said after the first year MLB will look at what worked and what didn’t and make adjustments for 2015. “It’s going to take some time,” he said.

One of Selig’s major concerns was the possible slowing of games. Schuerholz said with a direct line of communication between the central office and the ballparks the expectation is that replays under the new system will take 1 minute, 15 seconds. Current replays average just over 3 minutes.

“We want to prevent stalling,” Schuerholz said.

“If it’s a reviewable play, he (the manager) has to tell the umpires he’s going to review it.”

In other matters, Selig said baseball’s investigation of Biogenesis, the now-closed Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performanceenhancing drugs, has been completed.

Alex Rodriguez was suspended through 2014 and All-Stars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games apiece on Aug. 5 when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players for their relationship to Biogenesis. Rodriguez has appealed his suspension.

Selig also called the Tampa Bay Rays stadium situation “very, very discouraging.”

“Baseball needs a resolution to this problem,” Selig said with Stuart Sternberg, principal owner of the Rays, in the room listening. “I find it a very, very troubling situation. We were optimistic this was moving in a very positive direction. Unfortunately, it’s stalled.”

Selig said the situation was serious enough that he was giving “very strong consideration to assigning someone from MLB to intervene in this process, find out exactly what the hell is going on.”

“They’ve been a model organization, extraordinarily capable,” Selig said. “They’ve done everything in their power to make their ballpark situation work.

Years have ticked by now with no tangible progress.”

The team is obligated to play at outdated Tropicana Field through 2027 and is averaging just over 13,000 fans a game this season. The low attendance figures have led to the Rays receiving millions of dollars in revenue sharing.

“Without that, we wouldn’t be able to compete,” Sternberg said. “The other owners are looking at it. How many years is this going to be? How much money is it going to be? We should be able to get to the point where the revenue sharing dollars we would receive don’t need to be so significant year in and year out.”

Relocating is not on the table, Sternberg said.

“Frankly, I haven’t been able to get this (new stadium deal) done,” Sternberg said.

“Something needs to be done and nothing’s happening. We’ve got an enormous following, but something is clearly stopping people from coming through our doors. This isn’t a one- or two-year thing. Even the economy has picked up a bit and our attendance has gone down.”

Quarterbacks sharp in Eagles win over Panthers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EAGLES 14 PANTHERS 9 PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick was nearly flawless, Nick Foles looked sharp and the Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback competition remains close.

Vick and Foles each led touchdown drives in a 14-9 exhibition victory over Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night.

Vick completed his first nine passes before throwing an interception on a desperation heave at the end of the second quarter after the Eagles (1-1) got the ball with 24 seconds left in the half. He finished 9 of 10 for 105 yards and also ran for 20.

Foles was 6 of 8 for 53 yards. He had 13 yards rushing, including a 7-yard TD scamper. But Foles made a big mistake on his first series when he tried to throw the ball out of the end zone and had the pass picked off.

Newton had a so-so effort against a defence that was picked apart last week by New England’s Tom Brady.

Newton was 8 of 17 for 112 yards. He played the first half and led the Panthers (1-1) to a pair of field goals.

RAVENS 27, FALCONS 23 BALTIMORE (AP) — Matt Ryan threw for 97 yards and a touchdown in four series, and Atlanta limited Baltimore’s starting offence to three first downs in the first half before the Ravens’ backups rallied.

Atlanta’s starters bounced back nicely from a 34-10 loss to Cincinnati one week earlier.

Under Ryan’s direction, the Falcons pierced Baltimore for 11 first downs in 16 ½ minutes and built a 20-7 lead at halftime.

It was 23-7 before Baltimore (2-0) scored 20 fourth-quarter points, including a 78-yard punt return by Asa

Jackson with 6:18 remaining.

Ryan went 8 for 15 and threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Julio Jones.

Steven Jackson had 42 yards rushing against the defending Super Bowl champions.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco played the first half, completing 7 of 9 passes for 118 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown pass to Torrey Smith.

BEARS 33, CHARGERS 28 CHICAGO (AP) — Jay Cutler looked shaky again and the defence made up for it, harassing Philip Rivers early on and setting the tone for Chicago’s victory over San Diego.

All eyes remain on the quarterback after the Bears made some big changes on offence in the off-season, hiring coach Marc Trestman to replace Lovie Smith and revising their line. Cutler played a quarter and completed 4 of 5 passes for 38 yards and a touchdown, but the only receiver he targeted was Brandon Marshall.

Matt Forte ran for 74 yards and a touchdown on eight attempts after carrying only once in a loss at Carolina in the opener. His 58-yard run around the left end set up the game’s first touchdown, a 5-yard strike from Cutler to Marshall.

Rivers got swarmed as soon as he stepped on the field, and the Chargers fell again after getting pounded by Seattle last week. He was 5 of 9 for 50 yards with an interception, and he lost a fumble on a sack by Shea McClellin, leading to a 3-yard run by Forte that made it 14-0 near the end of the first quarter.

BROWNS 24, LIONS 6 CLEVELAND (AP) — Brandon Weeden threw two touchdown passes to Jordan Cameron and perhaps ended any more discussion about a quarter-

Weeden connected on TD passes of 10 and 5 yards to Cameron in the first half as the Browns (2-0) opened a 17-0 lead. Weeden finished 8 of 12 for 117 yards.

In two weeks, he’s 18 of 25 for 229 yards and three TDs.

Browns running back Trent Richardson made his NFL exhibition debut and gained 33 yards on six carries, showing some elusiveness and power.

Matt Stafford completed 11 of 16 passes for 74 yards for the Lions (1-1), but was without superstar wide receiver Calvin Johnson, who sat out with a bruised knee.

LPGA New Jersey Devils sold to group led by Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris Solheim Cup rosters feature new faces

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWARK, N.J. — The new owners of the New Jersey Devils are keeping long-time executive Lou Lamoriello in charge of hockey operations, bringing in a new business team and committing to make the three-time Stanley Cup champions an organization looked toward as a model of excellence.

Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris and business partner David Blitzer on Thursday bought the Devils and the lease to the Prudential Center from Jeff Vanderbeek for $320 million.

The deal was delayed roughly 15 minutes on Thursday morning because lawyers needed more time to sign off on the transfer of the financially strapped NHL team, which the league’s board of governors approved on Wednesday.

“What I am interested in is absolute success on and off the ice, and having the highest quality people and bringing the fans a great experience and winning,” said Harris, the co-founder of Apollo Global Management.

Harris dispelled rumours that he might consider moving the 76ers to Newark. He has a lease at the Wells Fargo Center with Comcast Spectacor, which also owns the NHL’s Flyers.

“The Sixers are staying in Philly,” Harris said.

He added that he and Blitzer viewed the purchase of the Devils, who lost roughly $25 million in the past year, and the lease as a

chance to turn around a struggling franchise.

“We’ve had a lot of success at identifying literally the best, highest-quality management teams and then bringing them into situations and letting them do their thing and holding them accountable,” Harris said. “Other people may like to meddle in it. What we like to do in essence is agree what the vision is, what the business plan is and then resource it and allow people to do their jobs.”

Lamoriello has been the architect of the Devils’ fortunes since 1987 and that’s not going to change.

“I hope he stays here another 26 years,” Blitzer said of the 70-year-old president and general manager.

Lamoriello refused to say whether the new owners have given him a blank cheque, but added “they are committed to winning.”

Harris and Blitzer selected Scott O’Neil as the Devils chief executive officer, a job he also has with the 76ers. The former Madison Square Garden Sports’ chief executive will work with both teams and Hugh Weber, the former New Orleans Hornets president, will be the everyday business leader in Newark.

Harris and Blitzer, who is the senior managing director of the Blackstone Group, needed about a week to close the deal after talks with Philadelphia lawyer Andrew Barroway fell through. Harris said he had made inquiries about buying the team months ago but they were delayed because Vander-

beek has involved in talks with another suitor.

Vanderbeek, who has been the majority owner of the Devils since 2004, will remain with the team as a senior adviser. He had mixed emotions after a 10-year run in which he led the effort to build “The Rock” but couldn’t raise enough money to keep the team.

“It certainly is bittersweet,” said Vanderbeek, who refused to say whether he retained a minority share in the team. “There were other opportunities along the way to perhaps do things differently.

But you know what? At some point you have to think about the future, the larger whole, and this was the right thing when it came to that.”

Harris said getting the lease to the Prudential Center was an essential part of the deal because concerts at what has been an under-used facility this past year will general money.

The Devils won the Stanley Cup in 1995, 2000 and 2003, and won additional Eastern Conference championships in 2001 and 2012.

They missed the playoffs in the recent lockout-shortened season and were stunned when superstar forward Ilya Kovalchuk decided to play in his native Russia. The Devils moved to New Jersey in 1982, playing at the Meadowlands after relocating from Colorado.

“This is positive for this franchise, for this building and Newark,” Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “There is terrific ownership with resources and talent with can take the team and the building to the next level.”

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARKER, Colo. — The Solheim Cup has a new look this year.

Missing from the European team is Laura Davies, who had played in every Solheim Cup since these matches between Europe and the United States began in 1990. Europe now has six rookies on its team, including 17-year-old Charley Hull of England.

Juli Inkster is not playing the Solheim Cup for the first time since 1996. She has a daughter older than two of the American players on this team — 18-yearold Lexi Thompson and 20-year-old Jessica Korda.

“This is great because you’re seeing the present and the future of the Solheim Cup,” U.S. captain Meg Mallon said Thursday. “And it’s kind of cool having these young players that are going to be a part of this event for a very long time. So I’m excited to see how they respond to this. They’re so fired up right now, and I’m not quite sure they know what they’re getting into.”

The majority of the rookies belong to Europe, which brings a new dynamic in other ways.

For years, the European side consisted mainly of Swedish and British players, with a few other countries sprinkled in. This team is represented by eight countries — three from Spain, two from England, two from Sweden, and one each from Italy, France, Norway, Germany and Scotland.

At stake this week is chance to win the Solheim Cup for the first time on American soil.

The matches get underway Friday at Colorado Golf Club, a sprawling golf course south of Denver with the Rockies in the backdrop.

American flags were handed out to spectators coming through the gates even for a practice round, though the size of the property and expanse of the fairways will make it difficult at times for spectator viewing.

Both captains are playing only two rookies in the opening session of foursomes.

CITY COUNCIL TO REVIEW PROGRAM BEFORE NEXT SPRING Dandelion spraying has been postponed for the remainder of the year and a review of the City of Red Deer’s dandelion program and policy will be done before next spring.

Due to the controversy surrounding pesticide spraying, city administration decided to bring the issue to city council before next year’s program.

Green space at St. Patrick’s and G.H. Dawe schools, along

with the Westpark Middle School ball diamond area, were the only areas treated prior to postponement.

The work was done early in the summer.

More spraying was scheduled to take place during the last two weeks of August in selected neighbourhood recreation, playground and school sites.

Parks superintendent Trevor Poth said pausing the program

will allow the city to do some research and look at the products it uses.

“We really wanted to take another fresh look at our overall program, to make sure we were meeting the public’s health concerns as well as the needs of the community associated with dandelion reduction.

“Many citizens don’t want herbicides used to control all dandelions; at the same time,

others feel that the beauty of our parks and health of our turf is diminished when dandelions are not controlled.”

The city has reduced its peracre use of pesticides on public lands by 75 per cent over the past 25 years.

And it is committed to reducing the current levels by a further 10 per cent by 2035, as outlined in the Environmental Master Plan.

Blue-green algae is hitting Alberta lakes, but the toxin-carrying bacteria have not yet been found in any bodies of water in Central Alberta.

Alberta Health Services issued an advisory regarding the presence of blue-green algae in Pigeon Lake on Wednesday.

Pigeon is the seventh lake AHS has identified as being affected in 2013.

The bacteria — blue-green algae is not actually classified as an algae — produce a toxin that can lead to serious illness in humans or animals who drink or have skin contact with water containing the toxin.

The advisory instructed people to avoid drinking or swimming in the affected waters.

The advisory also said people may wish to limit their consumption of fish from this lake.

Studies of fish from Pigeon Lake last year found that their muscle tissue did not

Some people get the itch to swim in Alberta’s lakes. Unfortunately, some of those people get an itch from those swims, too.

Swimmer’s itch is a infection caused by parasites that pass from birds or mammals to snails, and then are shed into the water. Free again, they seek out other birds or small mammals, but will try penetrating a human’s skin if given the chance.

“A person isn’t a suitable host, so the immune response will produce an inflammation.

So you’ll get an itchy red spot wherever the parasites tried to penetrate; it’s kind of akin to a mosquito bite at that point,” said Patrick Hanington, an assistant professor at the University of Alberta’s School of Public Health.

Like those pesky mosquito bites, swimmer’s itch does not present a real health threat, but is a nuisance that can last for one or two weeks.

In an effort to help swimmers avoid the itch, Hanington and his team at the U of A have set up a website (www.swimmersitch.ca) to monitor instances of the infections in the province. He is hoping swimmers who contract the itch will use the anonymous online reporting tool to help map outbreaks and, hopefully, predict future outbreaks.

Hanington said there is no real historical data on swimmer’s itch, as it has never been a reportable condition.

“We don’t know very much about when the parasites that cause swimmer’s itch are really prevalent in the lakes, and then which lakes have which parasites in them.

“What we’re trying to put together is a risk map that people can use to predict when they’re going to be exposed most to each of these parasites in the province.”

Dozens of reports from across the country have been made on the website since late June.

The most reports have come from Buffalo Lake near Stettler and Pigeon Lake west of Wetaskiwin.

There have been two reports from Cow Lake south of Rocky Mountain House.

Hanington said the goal is to inform people, rather than scare them away from swimming holes. He said swimming away from vegetation will reduce one’s chances of contracting the infection.

“If you swim at designated beach sites, usually the province does a good job of cleaning up those beaches and getting the vegetation off the beach area so people can enjoy the beach.”

The research team also is actively collecting snails for testing from lakes in the province, including Gull Lake, Sylvan Lake and Buffalo Lake. The group has funding for three summers to continue its work. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

Study finds no blocked neck veins in MS patients

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Ian Rodger, professor emeritus in the department of medicine at McMaster.

A long-awaited Canadian study has found no evidence that blocked neck veins or impaired blood flow are connected with multiple sclerosis.

It is the most recent of several international trials that have called the hypothetical link with MS into question. ology spent a week in Ferrara, Italy, learning his exact technique.

Rodger said the researchers wanted to avoid any suggestion that their ultrasounds differed from Zamboni’s, a criticism levelled at some previous studies to explain why their results contradicted the Italian doctor’s across-the-board positive findings.

The Canadian MS patients represented the spectrum of the disease: benign; relapsing and remitting; secondary progressive; and primary progressive. MRI scans of neck and chest veins were done as a means of validating ultrasound scans, which were both performed the same day.

Despite the somewhat surprising results, Rodger said the goal was to perform a rigorously controlled study.

“From the standpoint of a scientist, the best thing you can come out with is that it’s very clear one way or the other. And this is obviously remarkably clear.”

Some other researchers, however, don’t agree.

Neurologist Dr. Anthony Traboulsee of the University of British Columbia is heading a $6-million federally funded trial of vein-opening angioplasty — Zamboni’s so-called “liberation therapy” — among Canadian participants.

Drug lowers men’s risk for prostate cancer without spurring tumors THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Long-term results from a major federal study ease worries about the safety of a hormoneblocking drug that can lower a man’s chances of developing prostate cancer.

The drug cut prostate cancer risk by 30 per cent without raising the risk of dying of an aggressive form of the disease as earlier results hinted it might.

The new work could prompt a fresh look at using the drug for cancer prevention. Experts say it could prevent tens of thousands of cases each year, saving many men from treatments with seriously unpleasant side effects.

The drug is sold as Proscar by Merck & Co. and in generic form as finasteride to treat urinary problems from enlarged prostates. It’s also sold in a lower dose as Propecia to treat hair loss.

A decade ago, the drug was found to cut the risk of prostate cancer. But there was a small rise in aggressive tumors among its users.

Some researchers said that by shrinking the prostate, the drug was just making these tumors easier to find in a biopsy sample — not causing them.

But the concern led the Food and Drug Administration to turn down the drug for cancer prevention and warnings were added to its label.

Now, with 18 years of follow-up from that earlier study, researchers

report that men on the drug were no more likely to die than those not taking it.

That’s reassuring because if the drug were truly spurring lethal tumors, there would have been more deaths among its users as time went on, said Dr. Michael LeFevre, a family physician at the University of Missouri.

LeFevre wrote an editorial that appears with the study in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine. He is one of the leaders of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent panel of doctors who advise the federal government.

The group has not taken a stance on finasteride for prevention but has advised against screening with PSA blood tests.

Screening does more harm than good, the panel has said, because although 240,000 new prostate cancers are diagnosed each year in the United States, only about 30,000 prove fatal.

That means many men are treated for cancers that grow too slowly to be life-threatening, and often suffer sexual and urinary problems as a result.

The study, led by Dr. Ian Thompson at the Cancer Therapy and Research Center in San Antonio, was done to see whether finasteride could lower the risk of prostate cancer in men who were getting screened with annual PSA blood tests, as many still choose to do.

Researchers assigned

18,882 men 55 or older with no sign of prostate cancer on blood tests or a physical exam to take finasteride or dummy pills for seven years.

When the study ended, those who had not been diagnosed with prostate cancer were offered biopsies to check for hidden signs of the disease.

For the new analysis, researchers tracked the study participants for a longer time — 18 years in all since enrolment began.

Only about 10 per cent of men on finasteride developed prostate cancer versus 15 per cent of those on dummy pills.

Aggressive tumors were found in 3.5 per cent of men on the drug versus 3 per cent of the others.

Yet 78 per cent of both groups were alive after 15 years.

“other than this is one more study in the ’nay’ column rather than the ’yea’ column as far as CCSVI is concerned.”

Siddiqui, co-principal investigator of the university’s CCSVI-MS studies, said even catheter venography doesn’t appear to be sensitive enough to pick up neck and chest vein anomalies. The Buffalo group has tested another technique called intravascular ultrasound, which looks inside the veins, and said it appears to be superior to other diagnostic methods.

“I think we are still beginning to evaluate venous anatomy and venous drainage,” he said from Buffalo. “We don’t understand that well. We understand the arterial side exceptionally well.

“When it comes to venous disease, it’s extremely limited. And so that’s probably the biggest reason why things are all over the map.”

One thing Rodger and the other researchers do agree about, however, is that people with MS should only have the vein-opening treatment within the confines of a rigorously controlled clinical trial. And under no circumstances should stents — small mesh tubes — be used to prop open veins because of the danger they could migrate elsewhere in the body.

An estimated 30,000 MS patients worldwide have sought the therapy in clinics that have popped up in such countries as Poland, Bulgaria, India and Mexico, many of which use stents.

Included among those medical tourists are thousands of Canadians with MS: the unproven treatment is not offered in Canada.

An estimated 55,000 to 75,000 Canadians have MS, and the country has one of the highest rates of the incurable disease in the world. MS causes the destruction of myelin, the protective sheath around nerves throughout the body, leading to progressive physical and cognitive disability.

Ask The Dentist! by Dr. Michael Dolynchuk, DDS

“How Do I Know If I Am A Candidate For Implants?”

Dear Dr. D: I am a 62 year old male, with bridgework top and bottom.

My family dentist tells me my anchor tooth is failing, and says a full denture is my best option. He doesn't offer implants in his practice, nor does he even speak of them. Could I be a candidate for dental implants?

The simple answer is probably 'yes'. If you are missing one, A: several, or all of your natural teeth you are likely a candidate. We have implant patients from 16 to 90+ years of age, so most people are eligible on that front! The more teeth you are missing – the greater is your actual benefit of dental implants. Many patients have partial dentures that clip on to their natural teeth, but they can be uncomfortable and do in fact weaken the good tooth. Others have fixed bridgework that also weakens the existing structure. If you're missing all your natural teeth – dental implants are the only satisfactory method to restore your mouth. They are, in fact, the 'Standard of Care' for tooth replacement today.

A very real concern is always the quantity of available bone in any patient's jaw. Bone deterioration happens at a surprisingly early age, and when we lose a tooth - the bone structure begins to be absorbed by the body. The 'root' portion of the implant is made of titanium, and this is one of the few materials that is accepted by the body as a natural substance.

The bone actually adheres to the titanium - therefore becoming, for all intents and purposes, a replacement tooth that functions like a real tooth!

At Alpen Dental we use state-of-the-art equipment to measure bone density, and determine if we must supplement what Mother Nature is currently providing you. This technology allows us to determine precise implant placement information without having to send you out for special bone scans. Our patients have told us that this 'under one roof' convenience is very important to them. Every mouth is unique, and only a comprehensive exam will allow us to give you the very best options.

Call 1-855-949-2243 to schedule a FREE Implant examination. You'll feel better knowing exactly what your options are on your path to more comfortable eating – and we'll have the opportunity to show you the type of equipment seen in fewer than 1% of dental offices anywhere!

TORONTO — A long-awaited Canadian study has found no evidence that blocked neck veins or impaired blood flow are connected with multiple sclerosis, the most recent of several international trials that have called the hypothetical link with MS into question.

But instead of debunking the theory once and for all, the findings only appear to have fuelled the debate as to whether abnormal veins in the neck and chest are somehow involved with the progressive and debilitating neurological condition.

The idea was first put forward by Italian vascular surgeon Paulo Zamboni, who hypothesized in 2009 that narrowed and twisted veins in the neck and chest create a backup of blood in the brain, resulting in iron deposits that could cause the lesions typical of MS. Zamboni dubbed the abnormality “chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency,” or CCSVI. He suggested it might be a cause of MS and that opening up the veins with balloon angioplasty, the same procedure used to unblock coronary arteries, could help relieve symptoms and might even stop progression of the disease.

In a study he performed on MS patients, Zamboni said specialized ultrasound testing showed neck vein anomalies in 100 per cent of subjects.

Since then, researchers around the world have conducted their own studies, using ultrasound and other imaging techniques, but none has come close to replicating Zamboni’s results.

The latest is the group from McMaster University in Hamilton, which used both ultrasound and MRI testing on 100 MS patients and 100 healthy control subjects. The study was blinded — meaning researchers did not know which subjects had MS and which ones had no neurological disease — until the data analysis was completed.

“When we broke the codes, we suddenly realized, my goodness gracious, there’s a very, very clear endpoint to this study — we have no evidence whatsoever of CCSVI,” said principal investigator Ian Rodger, professor emeritus in the department of medicine at McMaster.

“When we looked at the MRI (blood) flow and when we looked at the ultrasound flow, we saw again that there is nothing that differentiates the two sets of groups, MS from control,” Rodger said from Hamilton. “We saw no evidence at all of narrowing of the vessels, which is called stenosis or a blockage. We didn’t see reflux (blood backup).

“So at the end of the day, we had black-and-white information that suggested there’s no evidence of CCSVI.” The researchers, whose paper was published Wednesday in the journal PLoS One, were careful to perform the ultrasound imaging using Zamboni’s method. Two “very skilled” ultrasonographers and McMaster’s chief of radi-

Traboulsee said ultrasound and MRI are not reliable tests to detect CCSVI on their own, but need to be used in conjunction with the gold standard test called catheter venography.

That test involves feeding a tube (catheter) through blood vessels from the groin area, up into the jugular and other neck and chest veins so they can be viewed from inside — not from the outside as is the case with ultrasound and MRI scans.

While the McMaster team is “very experienced” and their study was welldesigned, Traboulsee said Wednesday from Vancouver, “my concern is with the ultrasound.”

Widely varying results from ultrasound studies by research groups worldwide — including a University of Buffalo study that found 56 per cent of MS patients and 23 per cent of healthy controls had CCSVI — are a reflection of the subjective nature of interpreting ultrasounds, he said.

“I don’t think ultrasound is reliable to make definitive conclusions about Zamboni’s original theory or (in) any other papers that have come out since.”

Using catheter venography, his team has found CCSVI in close to 60 per cent of patients, he said of a soon-to-be published study.

Traboulsee said the McMaster results won’t affect the federal study, which will compare how patients given balloon angioplasty fare compared to those given a sham treatment.

“The Hamilton study is out of keeping with our findings, and we really don’t think it’s going to impact on how we’re going to continue to go forward,” he said, adding that enrolment has begun but results aren’t expected before 2016.

Dr. Adnan Siddiqui, director of neurosurgical research at the University of Buffalo, said he’s not sure what the McMaster paper adds to the debate,

BOMBARDIER COULD BE HURT

BY OPPOSITION TO AIRLINE MERGER MONTREAL — A transportation analyst says the U.S. Justice Department’s efforts to block the merger of American Airlines and US Airways could be bad news for Bombardier’s efforts to win an order for regional jets. Analyst Turan Quettawala of Scotia Capital says the lawsuit will likely delay a potential order for an estimated 40 aircraft that had been expected to be awarded, until there is a definitive ruling by a bankruptcy judge.

He says the government’s intervention is more negative for Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) than Brazilian rival Embraer because the Canadian manufacturer was viewed as the favourite since American Eagle is already a big operator of Bombardier’s CRJ700. The analyst wrote in a report that a delay in the merger could hurt Bombardier’s potential sales advantage over Embraer which has fewer near-term production slots available. Embraer recently won orders from United Airlines and Republic Airlines.

Quettawala says Bombardier needs to win the order maintain its regional jet market share in the U.S. and its production rates after 2014.

TELLIER LEAVES YELLOW MEDIA MONTREAL — Yellow Media Ltd. (TSX:Y) says the chairman of its board of directors will take on the CEO’s role temporarily as the publishing company continues to search for a permanent replacement for Marc Tellier, who vacates the position today. The Montrealbased publisher of paper directories and online content announced in March that Tellier, who held the post since 2001, would leave by midAugust — providing a four-month transition period. Yellow Media’s chairman, Robert MacLellan, announced Thursday that he will be interim CEO while the board evaluates candidates for a permanent replacement.

“The Board’s search committee is pleased with the progress to date,” MacLellan said in a statement.

Home sales stage recovery STRONG SALES IN VANCOUVER, TORONTO BOOST NATIONAL HOUSING NUMBERS: CREA

BY JULIAN BELTRAME THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Homes were selling at a brisk pace in Vancouver and Toronto last month, while the national average price continued to rise, suggesting Canada’s real estate industry has returned to “average levels” after a decline that began last summer.

The Canadian Real Estate Association’s report on activity for July showed resales edging up 0.2 per cent from June on a seasonally adjusted basis and up 9.4 per cent from July

2012, when tighter rules put the brakes on lenders and buyers.

Despite the recent uptick, the total of 284,865 homes that traded hands in the first seven months of 2013, is 4.6 per cent fewer than the corresponding period last year.

“Canadian home sales have staged a bit of a recovery in recent months after having declined in the wake of tightened mortgage rules and lending guidelines last year, but the numbers for July suggest that national activity is levelling off at what might best be described as average levels,” said Gregory Klump, the real estate associa-

tion’s chief economist.

The national average home price was $382,373, 8.4 per cent higher than a year ago, although Klump said that was mostly because sales were concentrated in expensive major markets.

Excluding sales in Toronto and Vancouver, the national average price would have gone up only half as much and sales volume would have been down from June, the CREA report notes.

Vancouver had a 12 per cent increase in sales in July relative to June and a 39.9 per cent increase from the same month last year, while Toronto’s sales

were up 4.8 per cent monthmonth and up 12.9 per cent year-year.

Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter added that the numbers may also have been inflated by the fact there were five Mondays and Tuesdays during July, traditionally two big days for closing real estate deals.

“The big picture is that the market has proven to be reasonably resilient, but I don’t think it is taking off again in a meaningful way,” Porter said.

Wind Mobile CEO eyes Mobilicity

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The head of wireless company Wind Mobile says he’ll look at buying struggling competitor Mobilicity if U.S. telecom giant Verizon doesn’t want it.

Wind Mobile CEO and chairman Anthony Lacavera said Thursday that he’ll consider buying Mobilicity since there could be one less bidder.

“It puts me in a position to move on Mobilicity before the (spectrum) auction,” said Lacavera, who has made no secret in recent years that he wants to acquire Mobilicity.

The Globe and Mail reported Thursday that Verizon was putting off a potential acquisition of Wind Mobile and Mobilicity and contemplating participation in the next auction for wireless spectrum — the radio waves needed to operate cellphone networks.

If Verizon decides to participate in the auction, rules prevent it from continuing to negotiate acquisition deals until after the January auction.

Lacavera owns a 35 per cent stake in Wind Mobile, the company he founded, and would like to buy back the other 65 per cent from Dutch-headquartered VimpelCom, something he acknowledges will be challenging.

“I can’t outbid Verizon. So if they really want to buy it before the auction I’m not going to be successful. It’s just a mathematical reality,” he said.

However, Lacavera said he believes Verizon is keeping all doors open to enter Canada’s cellphone market until it has to put down a deposit on Sept. 17 to participate in the auction.

“I just don’t believe that Verizon’s doing anything other than playing all of its options,” he said from Toronto.

Verizon declined to comment Thursday on its possible entry into Canada.

Ottawa has opened up the telecommunications market by allowing foreign ownership of small wireless carriers that have a less than 10 per cent market share in hopes of increasing competition.

Housing market outlook still up sharply from 2012: CMHC

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.’s forecast for Red Deer’s housing market continues to improve.

The national housing agency said in its third quarter housing market outlook, which it released on Thursday, that there will be 690 residential starts in Red Deer this year and 715 in 2014. Both figures have risen with each quarterly update by CMHC, and are up sharply from the 2012 total of 568 starts.

Single-detached houses are expected to number 365 this year and 385 the next, as compared with 326 in 2012. In the case of units in multi-family projects, the tally is projected to hit 325 in 2013 and then rise to 330 the year after that. Last year, starts on multi-family

homes totalled 242.

When it comes to the local resale market, CMHC has also boosted its count. It now anticipates 4,700 deals in 2013 and 4,900 in 2014, improving on the 4,304 Multiple Listing Service transactions recorded in Central Alberta last year.

The average resale price this year is expected to hit $295,000, and then climb to $301,000 in 2014. Last year, the average was $279,180.

In the analysis that accompanied its report, CMHC said increased sales in the resale market is spurring new home construction in Alberta. It does not expect construction of replacements for flood-damaged homes to impact its forecast.

CMHC said that an influx of migrants to Alberta and fulltime job growth are increasing housing demand and pushing

the MLS sales count upward.

Higher demand relative to supply has put pressure on prices, with real estate values predicted to increase this year and next.

In some areas, the resale market has been impacted by June’s flooding but is expected to normalize over time.

On the national front, CMHC said the western provinces are helping to stabilize construction activity. But it’s still lowered its Canadawide estimate for 2014.

“CMHC expects single-detached units and housing units built in the western provinces to account for a higher share of total housing starts over the forecast horizon,” said Mathieu Laberge, CMHC’s deputy chief economist.

Ontario premier promises to address environmental concerns

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Environmental concerns over plans to use pipelines to transport Alberta oil east through Ontario will be addressed before any decisions are made, Premier Kathleen Wynne said Thursday.

Those concerns have to be at the centre of any talk about the movement of fuel through the province, she said, adding that the governing Liberals will work with all groups, including First Nations communities.

“We need to make sure that those concerns are understood and addressed and dealt with upfront, not in reaction to but as part of the beginning of the conversations, so that we’re not in a situation where there’s lack of understanding and there is backlash,” Wynne said.

Anti-pipeline protests have cropped up in Ontario over Enbridge’s plan to transport oil

EAST-WEST PIPELINE ‘WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE CONCERNS ARE UNDERSTOOD AND ADDRESSED AND DEALT WITH UPFRONT, NOT IN REACTION TO BUT AS PART OF THE BEGINNING OF THE CONVERSATIONS . . . .’

from Western Canada to refineries in Ontario and Quebec, including a blockade of an pumping station near Hamilton in June.

Eighteen people were arrested and charged when they refused to leave the station. Seven others were charged after creating a disturbance at the court hearing in Hamilton on Wednesday.

The demonstrators oppose Enbridge’s plan to reverse the

flow of oil in a stretch of its Line 9 pipeline from North Westover — about 30 kilometres northwest of Hamilton — to Montreal.

Line 9 currently carries light crude imported from overseas.

The protesters claim oilsands crude is more corrosive and the move could lead to a possible breach.

Enbridge has said that concern is unwarranted, as the oil in Line 9 is a processed grade of crude.

Wynne said she’ll put environmental and First Nations and community concerns “at the forefront,” but there need to be “rational discussions” about energy policy.

“We have to make sure that the environmental protections are in place and that communities understand what is being done and why it’s being done as those decisions are made,” she said.

Ontario also has to work with other provinces with the understanding that they all share energy needs, Wynne said.

New Democrat Gilles Bisson said the Liberals must learn from their mistakes with wind farms, which sparked a backlash in rural Ontario when the concerns of local communities were overruled.

“And we have to ask ourselves very tough questions as a province,” he said. “Is this to our benefit?

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market ignored a big downturn on Wall Street on Thursday and focused on stronger commodity prices to climb higher.

The S&P/TSX composite index was up 65.22 points to close

at 12,704.52.

The Canadian dollar rose 0.23 of a cent to 97.05 cents US. Driving the market higher were gold stocks as December bullion rose $27.50 to end at US$1,360.90 an ounce. September copper fell 2.5 cents to

US$3.34 a pound.

Iamgold Corp. (TSX:IMG) rose 11 per cent to C$6.66.

The September crude contract rose 48 cents to settle at US$107.33 a barrel as supply concerns returned following renewed unrest in Egypt.

Egypt is not an oil producer but its control of the Suez canal, one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes that links the Mediterranean with the Red Sea, gives it a crucial role in maintaining global energy supplies.

The TSX went higher despite fears from U.S. traders that the Federal Reserve will begin its tapering plan next month in response to a strengthening economy.

Improved sentiment has pushed U.S. Treasury yields higher as traders anticipate the Fed will reduce its $85-billion-amonth monetary stimulus in September, a move that is expected to lead to a rise in the cost of borrowing.

“People are viewing that rates are going to go higher,” said Ian Nakamoto, director of research at MacDougall, MacDougall and MacTier.

“I don’t see anything on the horizon that changes people’s viewpoint.”

On Wall Street, the Dow fell 225.47 points to 15,112.19, the Nasdaq dropped 63.16 points to 3,606.12 and the S&P 500 slid 24.07 points to 1,661.32.

The sharp decline came as some good news emerged about the U.S. economy. Weekly applications for unemployment benefits dropped to a six-year low of 320,000.

But not all the news was positive on the U.S markets as Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) added to the sentiment that retailers are in for a tough last half of the year.

The big-box retailer cut its outlook for the year and reported disappointing quarterly numbers, just as department store Macy’s did on a day earlier.

Wal-Mart shares lost 2.6 per cent to $74.41.

Telecom stocks were higher on the TSX, rising 2.8 per cent after a report in the Globe and Mail said Verizon is setting aside its pursuit of smaller wireless players Wind Mobile and Mobilic-

ity, choosing to wait until after a government wireless spectrum auction in January.

Telus (TSX:T) shares rose 4.8 per cent to $32.21, while Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B) was up $1.95 to $42.45.

Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP) said it will appeal a legal order from the Quebec government that is holding the company responsible for the cleanup and some of the financial impact of the Lac-Megantic disaster in Quebec. That legal notice demands that the companies follow a provincial law that holds businesses accountable for the financial impact of an environmental disaster. Canadian Pacific shares fell $1.60 to $124.84.

Stock in Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (TSX:ITP) soared nearly 19 per cent in the wake of a strong earnings report and a big increase in the company’s dividend.

Late Wednesday the company reported it earned $15.1 million US, reversing a loss of $3.9 million in the same period a year earlier. The company’s shares closed up $2.21 to $14 on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Yellow Media Ltd. (TSX:Y) said the chairman of its board of directors will take on the CEO’s role temporarily as the publishing company continues to search for a permanent replacement for Marc Tellier, who vacates the position Thursday.

Shares of the company rose 30 cents to $12.50.

HOUSING: Few predicting severe decline He said the July numbers may have been boosted by fence-sitters jumping into the market after mortgage rates rose in June.

“So it’s debatable whether the strength will persist.”

David Madani of Capital Economics — who has previously warned he expects a major contraction at some time in the future — believes many Canadians have pulled forward their home purchases in expectations mortgage rates will rise in future months.

While many economists and industry watchers have said the Canadian housing market was likely to cool for a time after several years of heated sales and above-average price increases, relatively few have predicted a severe decline.

“Higher mortgage rates of late have led to some erosion in affordability . . . (and) this should keep a lid on sales growth in the second half of the year,” agreed senior economist Sonya Gulati of TD Bank in a note to clients. “But positive annual sales gains are slated for 2014.”

Specialist Stephen Naughton works at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday. Warnings of weaker sales from two major companies and concern that the Federal Reserve could ease off its support for the economy sent the stock market spiraling lower Thursday.

WASHINGTON — Bleaker outlooks at retailers like Wal-Mart and Macy’s are raising doubts that consumers will spend enough in coming months to lift the still-subpar U.S. economy.

Though the economy is growing steadily, Americans are being hampered by weak pay, higher taxes and tepid hiring. Sluggish overseas economies are also slowing sales for U.S. retailers. It’s a picture the Federal Reserve will weigh in deciding whether to scale back its bond purchases as soon as next month.

“Consumers aren’t going to start spending with abandon until we see much stronger job and wage growth,” says Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo.

Average weekly paychecks have grown just 1.3 per cent since the recession ended more than four years ago. Over the past 12 months, pay has trailed even low inflation. That’s partly why spending has remained lacklustre and why many Americans may be postponing purchases at department stores so they can buy cars, homes and other costly necessities.

Americans increased their spending at an annual rate of just 1.8 per cent in the April-June quarter — down from a 2.3 per cent rate in the January-March period. Consumer spending is expected to improve in the second half of the year. But most economists foresee only a slight acceleration to an annual rate of 2 per cent to 2.5 per cent.

Fracking tech drives resurgence of sand mining

BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES SAN ANGELO, Texas — Grains of sand, small and inconspicuous as they might be, are a big and integral cog in the energy industry machine, and mining sand for the industry has become an economic boon in places ranging from Illinois to McCulloch County just southeast of San Angelo.

But not just any sand will do.

In hydraulic fracturing — better known as fracking, a drilling technique that uses water, sand and chemicals to extract underground oil and gas from shale-locked deposits — sand is not quite the same as the tan, grainy substance found on a beach.

Natural sand can be one of the many “proppants� used in the energy industry, but it’s not necessarily the most desirable.

The word proppant is derived from the use of sand to prop open the hole drilled to create a channel through which fluids — such as hydrocarbons and water — can flow.

The industry uses natural sand, modified sand and man-made ceramic sand, all in huge quantities. “You think drilling is fairly simple, but there are other specialties behind it that people don’t understand,� said Elizabeth Grindstaff, vice president of sales and marketing for Texas Pacifico Transportation Ltd., the railroad that runs through San Angelo. “Sixty percent of what we move on the railroad today is frac sand. We will move about 30,000 rail cars this year.�

Unlocking tight oil is one of the latest uses for sand, which has been exploited in one application or another for millennia. “It’s an old, mature industry. Generally the industry is associated with glassmaking, but it could be diverted to another use,� said Thomas Dolley, mineral commodity specialist with the U.S. Geological Survey. “In silica sand, each grain is 99 percent quartz.

It makes an excellent proppant; it’s relatively inexpensive.�

Nationally the top three producers of natural frac sand are Texas, Illinois and Wisconsin, according to USGS figures from a 2011 survey on industrial sand and gravel.

In the proppant world, grains are sought for their sphericity and roundness.

The roundness enables each individual grain to absorb pressure and temperature more evenly around the grain. As fracking companies venture deeper into the Earth, rounder grains can withstand the higher temperatures and pressures.

Some proppant operations are dedicated to coating the mined sand with various types of resin. The resin coating helps to round the grains and allows them to withstand higher pressures.

Recent technologies also have allowed a growth of an entirely manmade ceramic proppant. “The ceramic goes through a firing process,� said Terry Palisch, director of Petroleum Engineering with Carbo Ceramics, the world’s leading producer of ceramic proppants with plants in Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana. “There are a lot of things that can be controlled to engineer a better proppant; we’re not relying on Mother Nature.�.

However, it comes as no surprise that the more processing required for a proppant, the more expensive it is for fracking companies to purchase.

Companies “have to consider whether the incremental production is worth the incremental expense,� Palisch said.

The USGS is still analyzing the voluntarily submitted data from last year, Dolley said, and anticipates more than 30 million metric tons of apparent consumption for 2012. Although prices fluctuate depending on sand and state regulations, Dolley said the average cost is $54.83 per metric ton.

The American Petroleum Institute and the International Organization for Standardization have established a set of criteria and procedures that all

Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,� can greatly increase the productivity of an oil or gas well by splitting open rock with water, fine sand and lubricants pumped underground at high pressure. The use of fracking has increased the need for sand, which has created a boom for the sand mining industry. proppant suppliers have to follow. The quality of the proppant can dramatically affect a well’s productivity.

The renaissance of the oil industry that blossomed with the development of fracking technology has driven a resurgence of the proppant industry in

McCulloch County, where this energy industry offshoot has come to dominate the labor force. “As long as hydraulic fracturing is a growing concern, sand mining will most likely continue to grow,� Dolley said.

Research fraud rises as biomedical funding declines Two years ago, the journal Nature reported a startling spike in the number of scientific research papers that were being retracted.

Between 2000 and 2010, the number of papers retracted shot up tenfold, while the total number published climbed only 44 percent, the journal reported.

Most of the papers were pulled because of honest mistakes or failure to replicate results, but nearly half were withdrawn because of outright cheating — falsification of results or plagiarism from another researcher.

Recent research suggests the number of papers being retracted is leveling off, but the bigger problems that have driven the increase in scientific misconduct still exist, said Ferric Fang, a microbiology professor at the University of Washington who has studied research misconduct.

He pointed to at least three issues: scientists chasing increasingly less research money, too much emphasis on individual achievement even though most research today is done by groups, and heavy reliance by universities on research grants to pay for faculty salaries.

After a big increase in biomedical funding about 15 years ago, the National Institutes of Health’s budget has declined over the past decade and is particularly tight now because of the federal budget sequester.

At the same time, the percentage of initial basic research grants approved has plummeted over the past 50 years, from about 60 percent in 1963 to less than 20 percent in 2010.

In his field, Fang said, only about 6 percent of grant applications are approved, and in that climate, “you have to find some way of standing out ... and that’s not conducive to honesty in some

cases.�

Another problem, he said, is the practice of giving most of the credit on research to the lead author and the senior author on each paper, which devalues the contributions of the other listed researchers.

Finally, the major increase in NIH research funding from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s spurred many universities to rely heavily on grant money to pay much of the salaries of new faculty members.

Now that the funding has begun to decline, scientists at major research schools are under increasing pressure, Fang said.

That can set the stage for potential misconduct, he said, because “behavioral economists will say there is no stronger motivation for cheating than trying to avoid losing something.�

Researchers also are more likely to cheat if they think their colleagues are doing so, Fang added.

Clothes say menswear but makeup says otherwise THE RIGHT BEAUTY LOOK CAN COMPLETE A WOMAN’S MENSWEAR-INSPIRED OUTFIT IN ONE OF THIS FALL’S HOTTEST FASHION TRENDS

If you’re slipping into a tweed blazer, an oversized cardigan or a sleek women’s tux this fall, the right beauty look is the perfect accessory to complete your menswear-inspired outfit.

The choice is yours to do a 180-degree turn and go with hyper-girlie, or stay strictly tomboy: Either can complement the more masculine clothing silhouettes.

Makeup with menswear is a little more important than other styles because with a neutral, muted palette of greys, blacks and browns, “you want to have a little life to your face, a little health and vigour,” says Linda Wells, Allure magazine’s editor-in-chief.

When suiting up in this fall trend, women have choices for their beauty look, she says.

“Are you going to exaggerate the menswear look and play it up fully, or are you going to offset it with something feminine?” Wells says.

To soften menswear staples like grey flannel and houndstooth, which are so often fashioned into tailored items, add femininity by playing up the eyes or lips, experts advise, but not both at the same time so your features don’t compete.

“You want to add feminine flair throughout the face if you can’t have it on the body through the clothing,” says Myiesha Sewell, a Sephora Pro makeup artist.

For a ladylike touch, Wells envisions soft hair with a little wave to it falling over the forehead along with a rich burgundy lipstick, or dark, smoky eyes featuring grey eye shadow, eyeliner and lots of mascara.

“Who doesn’t want to be a femme fatale?” she says of the “sexy androgyny” combination of feminine makeup and menswear.

If you want to keep the menswear feeling consistent from head to toe, Wells recommends a simpler style that doesn’t draw attention to the face: Hair is slick to the head and parted on the side “so it looks boyish,” and styled in a low ponytail or bun. Keep makeup natural looking, with clear or pale lip gloss, taupe eye shadow, mascara and a darkened brow to give strength and definition to the face.

However, Wells prefers the feminine face: “It’s taking men’s style and making it feminine. It’s the masculinefeminine — that conflict is always in-

teresting. That tension is what makes it exciting.”

Sewell likes to add a shot of bold colour while keeping the rest of it neutral to help soften the straight lines and sometimes boxy shapes of the clothing. For the eyes, try a bold blue liner along with a neutral brown or peach eye shadow. After mastering blue, Sewell says move on to experimenting with emerald or eggplant liner.

“One of the easiest looks and colours to wear with a neutral eye is navy blue or a cobalt eye liner,” Sewell says. “It really pops the whites of your eyes.”

On the runway, man-tailored suits often are paired with classic red lipstick, but Sewell likes purples and magentas and berry shades, largely because she thinks they’re an easier colour range to pull off.

“It’s very feminine and it’s going to make the lips look shapely and the eyes will gravitate toward them. It’s a modern Technicolor, Marilyn Monroe.”

With so much power to the menswear-inspired clothing, why not bring that strength up to the face as well?

Says MAC senior artist John Stapleton, who helped bring to life the Victoria Beckham fall catwalk that turned tuxedos and trenchcoats into seductive silhouettes.

He favours a minimalist tomboy makeup look featuring strong eyebrows and cheekbones, which is what he did on the Beckham models.

“If you’re going to go for it, you might as well go all the way,” Stapleton says.

Adding colour to the faces would have distracted from the fashion. (If you really want that girlie contrast, do it through accessories, he suggests.)

This more masculine face features eyebrows that are brushed up and over and set with gel; natural-looking, contoured cheeks with an ashy or taupe blush; and muted, nude lips in a shade close to your own lip colour or created through concealer and lip balm.

Mascara darkens the root of the lash line but does not get applied to the ends to lengthen them.

“It’s very chic looking,” he says. “It’s strong. It’s commanding. Showing up to a meeting like that, it looks like someone who is going to take over the room and be in control and garner a lot of respect. You don’t want to mess with her.”

Beauty brands look into developing spray products NEW YORK — Beauty consumers seem to like the delivery of their products with the touch of a button, and brands are obliging them with more spray-on items.

What had been the domain of sunscreen also now belongs to moisturizers, shampoo and cosmetics: It’s spray, spritz and go.

“Sprays in beauty can be a game-changer,” says Marie Claire beauty and health director Erin Flaherty.

She predicts people will use these products more frequently, more regularly and maybe share with other family members.

That’s the plan, says Ricardo Pimenta, global vice-president for Vaseline and St. Ives. Vaseline’s new spray body lotion is getting a lot of buzz.

“It all started with an observation that a lot of people in the U.S. have lotion at home but don’t use it. They’re what we call ’light users,”’ he says. “We found out the reason they weren’t using it that often is not because they didn’t know that it was good for their skin, but it was too much work and it took too long.”

He adds: “We had to innovate, and a spray seemed very simple, almost obvious, and we said, ’Why haven’t we done this before?’

Older pets often overlooked

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

a soulmate, she said. For deAvila, that was Oliver, who was with her nearly five years.

“He met me at the door every single time I came home. If I was crying, he would reach up with his paw and touch my tears. He always slept on my shoulder.

“He had respiratory issues and would snore and snort all the time. For a long time, I couldn’t sleep because it was so quiet without him,” deAvila said.

She does it because it is the right thing to do, she explained. A kitten will likely get adopted, but the older cats will be put down.

Fusaro agreed, even though the time will come soon when Sunny will break her heart. “I want her time here to be as happy as it can be.

“I didn’t want to open my heart for that kind of pain but how much sadder and more horrible for me would it be to leave her at the shelter. It will be terrible to lose her but much worse to leave her to die alone.”

LOS ANGELES — Sunny was 16 when she was left at an animal shelter by the family she had lived with all her life.

The 75-pound bulldog-pit bull mix had cancer and infected eyes, and shelter workers figured the family probably couldn’t handle medical costs.

“She was so sad and depressed, lethargic, sick looking. She wouldn’t even lift her head for a treat,” said photographer Lori Fusaro, who was taking pictures of old dogs at the Los Angeles shelter that day in June 2012.

Those who rescue and care for old pets say it seems more are being left at shelters for health reasons and more owners are facing personal age or health problems and can’t keep their Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS pets.

Sixteen-year-old Sunny at Playa del Rey beach in Los Angeles.

Photographer Fusaro, 44, had always avoided Lori Fusaro is working on Silver Hearts, a photo book of old dogs. She plans to adopting older dogs because she didn’t think she could handle it when they turn proceeds over to rescues that save old dogs and also hopes the book will died. Sunny changed her mind. “No old encourage others to adopt old dogs. dog should be left to die alone, unloved and broken-hearted on a concrete slab in a strange place,” she said.

That day, Fusaro adopted Sunny and started making plans for ‘Silver Hearts,’ a photo book of old dogs that she hopes will encourage people to consider such animals.

She plans to turn proceeds over to rescue organizations that save aging dogs.

When she took Sunny home, Fusaro figured she had a couple weeks, perhaps months at most. She never imagined Sunny would live long enough to be part of “Silver Hearts.”

But Sunny rebounded and was soon eating, playing and loving trips to the beach.

It’s been over a year and Sunny is 17 now.

Fusaro’s book is about 80 per cent finished. She used shelter dogs, dogs of friends, Facebook, Sunny and her other dog Gabby.

To photograph dogs for shelters, Fusaro has to spend time with them, play with them and put them at ease, said Jan Selder, director of field operations for Los Angeles Animals Services.

If people don’t get hooked on the photos, they won’t come in to the shelter to see any pets, Selder said.

Abby was an old, blind cocker spaniel when animal control found her on the streets of New York seven years ago. At the shelter, she just stood in a corner and barked. She was deemed unadoptable and put on the euthanasia list. An adoption organization took her from the rescue and called foster worker Val Sorensen in Stratford, Conn.

At home, Abby stood in place and barked because she didn’t know where to go.

It took three weeks of bumping into walls and doors to learn her way around, find her food, how to get to the backyard and how to get petted. Sorensen said she had to remember not to leave anything in her path.

“After three weeks, she started wagging her tail. If you open a jar of peanut butter she will come running from the other room,” Sorensen said.

Off our original prices. Prices as ticketed.

Sorensen jokingly refers to the dog these days as Ancient Abby since she’s between 16 and 17 now. She’s slowly going deaf but she’s yet to miss any peanut butter.

Sorensen is co-founder of Wigglebutt Warriors, a fundraiser for rescues.

The group’s primary fundraiser in 2014 will benefit Oldies But Goodies Cocker Spaniel Rescue in Newington, Va., which helps old and special needs cocker spaniels.

“Adopting a dog that is deaf or blind doesn’t mean they won’t still have a great quality of life. I wish more people would adopt older or special needs dogs,” Sorensen said.

GETTING READY

HOROSCOPE Friday, Aug. 16 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Steve Carell, 51; James Cameron, 59; Madonna, 55 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The Goddess of beauty and harmony enters one of its favourite signs, Libra. Libra is at home in this planetary display. Peace, kindness, love will be the main vehicles for successful unions and relationship.

We develop a greater awareness for aesthetics, decoration, and art.

Mercury in relation to Venus sugASTRO gests that we may require effort in DOYNA order to maintain accord amongst each other. The Sun in aspect to Pluto indicates the use of control and power due to fear. Caution should be exercised when asserting ourselves today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: If today is your birthday, you will have a great urge to engage yourself in some kind of love affair this year. You need affection and you certainly crave attention.

Speak up your mind without fear of judgement. Assert yourself without worrying about what others might assume of you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The debatable impulses will be smoothed over with a desire to calm down and seek a partner you can share your time with. If you want to attract more potential business partners, make use of tact and diplomacy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may want to take it easy and slow down your pace when executing your usual daily obligations. If you let yourself go, you may be tempted to procrastinate and remain behind the schedule. On the plus side, your atmosphere becomes more bearable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This may be a time when you could uncover your true talents. Perhaps you do have a voice and the potential to act and which you were too insecure to share with others. Don’t be afraid to explore and expose your hidden pleasures.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Whatever you have planned to accomplish for today will seem like smooth sailing to you.

Satisfaction is derived from a well-organized day with efficient results. You regain that peace within yourself that makes you feel both safe and cosy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your intentions are clear to yourself and you desire to put your creative juices into some kind of project. Imagination and inspiration are plentiful today. Use these valuable assets to express your true individuality and to simply be yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are opening the curtains to a world of materialism. Your appreciation for finer things in life is at an ultimate high now. You display a greater necessity to purchase fine items for yourself or others. Some inhibiting factor may prohibit you from extravagance spending.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Wow, what a beautiful world unveils itself to you, dear Libra! Your ruling planet, Venus has just entered your sign and it will work at its maximum potential in order to bring that much needed peace and harmony within your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Clandestine affairs will appear very appealing and much to your taste. A true Scorpio native prefers to keep everything under closed wraps and when it comes to love, there is no exception. A secret amour may push just the right buttons.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t be surprised if a friend of yours turns into more than just a friend. That platonic relationship may take on a new definition and implication into your life. Your popularity among your peers grows.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are getting a major break from people holding powerful positions. If you had felt somewhat pressured keeping up with a numerous obligation well now, get ready to become one their most favourite team player.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Travel abroad has a few surprises for you. When you least expect it, love can flourish with someone you have little knowledge of and which drives you insane as you wish to get to know them for who they truly represent.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are living a surreal life where pleasures and even more pleasures promise you a great deal of stability and trustworthiness. The freedom you seek in expressing your talents will now offer you the chance to expose them.

SUN SIGNS

Children being used as pawns in family dispute Dear Annie: My daughter-in-law tends to go to her family.

She says she is uncomfortable with my son’s side. She has been rude to us since she married my son, and she controls him. She threatens him if he does not do what she wants.

My daughter had a fight with my daughterin-law four years ago, and I just woke up to the fact that my daughterin-law blames us for my daughter’s actions.

My husband and I tried therapy with my son and daughter-in-law, but it made things worse.

I left, saying that I am not happy with either of them and I just want to see my grandchildren.

My son said that if I don’t continue with therapy, I won’t see the kids again.

They are using the children as weapons to control us. I told her she didn’t like us from Day One. She told me she doesn’t trust me.

My new granddaughter had a baptism, and my daughter-in-law told us it was an occasion only for her family. We were insulted and hurt.

I’m thinking of going to court and suing for grandparents’ rights. — Trustworthy Dear Trustworthy: Your son and his wife may not be behaving in a kind or loving way,

ANNIE ANNIE but there is room for improvement on both sides.

They are willing to go for counseling to resolve this, which is a good sign. But walking out of a counseling session because you don’t like what you hear is not productive.

The point of counseling is to work through the issues that get in the way of a better relationship.

Please stop trying to get your son to favor you over his wife. It won’t happen. The more you blame her the more defensive they both will be.

If you want to be in his life and see those grandkids, we urge you to agree to go back for counseling and really work on it with an open mind.

Dear Annie: I recently married a man who is quite wonderful, but he

won’t help out around the house.

We have a child together, and I am the breadwinner. When I’m not working, I’m cleaning the house and picking up after him. Once in a while, he may do a chore or two, but that’s it.

We’ve had many talks about this, and he always agrees to do things when I ask. But I still come home from work and find nothing done, and he has plenty of excuses.

He will be 30 soon. He was not raised this way, and his mother has tried to help, but we can’t seem to make any progress.

What can I do? This is driving me insane — Maid on Demand and Sick of It Dear Maid: Can you afford periodic cleaning help? Would you be willing to relax your standards a bit? Can you stop picking up after your husband? Could you save the housecleaning for weekends and make it a joint effort?

Sometimes, this is simply a matter of disorganization, in which case a list and a reminder might work. You cannot force your husband to grow up, but you can help him understand that this type of issue will erode a marriage over time, making one partner resentful and

turning the other into a recalcitrant child.

He needs to step up.

Dear Annie: I, too, have suffered from depression all my life.

It took courage to finally seek help, because you think you’re “crazy” and fear the stigma of admitting something is wrong.

I thought the gap between where I was and being “normal’ was as wide as the Grand Canyon. In fact, it’s only as wide as a couple of pills.

It took a few tries before I found the medication that works best for me.

Once I “came out,” I discovered that several people I work with are also on antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication. — Been There, Too.

Going from comfortable to behind bars Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison

By Piper Kerman $19 Spiegel and Grau Pub. Maybe you’ve never wondered about life in a women’s prison, after all if you are a law-abiding citizen, you will never be there, right?

Piper Kerman was 23-yearsold, a graduate of Smith College in Massachusetts in 1993.

Her friends were high flyers who had a lot of money.

She is drawn into their PEGGY schemes and finds herself arFREEMAN riving in Belgium with a suitcase full of cash, which belongs to an African drug lord.

Soon they are asking her to carry drugs, and wisely she parts company and heads for California.

Everyone is foolish when they’re young, who hasn’t made a mistake or two?

BOOK REVIEW

Now it’s 1998, five years later, and Piper is living in San Francisco, working a couple of interesting jobs and falling in love with Larry. Life if good. When the doorbell rings, two U.S. Customs officers inform her that she has been indicted in federal court in Chicago, the charge is money laundering and drug smuggling.

Here is the story of the court case, the lawyers and the guilty verdict that sends Piper away from her comfortable and relatively blameless life into the U.S. federal prison system, for 15 months.

In the U.S. in 2010, there were 90,000 prisoners locked up for drug offences and 40,000 in for violent crimes.

“Typical offences were low-level dealing, allowing their apartments to be used for drug activity, serving as couriers and passing messages.” Many of the women Piper met in prison were uneducated and poor, separated from young children but brave and generous.

The women are paid in prison for various jobs.

The going rate is 14 cents an hour. A high school grad gets slightly more. Many who have been out of school for 30 years work very hard to attain a general education diploma and a pay raise.

Piper meets Natalie, a skilled baker who toils in the prison kitchen. Her total pay for a 40-hour work week is $5.60. Out of this she can buy toothpaste and soap and pay for phone calls.

The guards are often poorly-educated bullies.

Piper is a small, blond, educated woman and many guards think she needs taking down a peg.

When Piper has served her time, another court case is called. The government is still after the African drug lord and his crew. It seems she will never be finished with the prison system.

As Piper makes friends among the other prisoners, she realizes that her part in the drug deals of long ago contributed to the life problems of these women.

Meanwhile, she tries to keep her sanity by practicing yoga and jogging in the exercise area. She also begins training in a basic electrical course.

These women, from all walks of life and many ethnic groups, become a community, supporting each other and caring for each other. Some have medical issues, all are far from home.

This is a brave and interesting story.

Child of hoarders describes life under the disorder of being discovered. Miller finally escapes to go to college, and her parents move to other homes to escape the mess, but their hoarding always quickly resumes.

Miller isn’t unscathed by her parents’ problems: at one point as a child she stops speaking, later she attempts suicide and still later she compulsively cleans her spotless Brooklyn, N.Y., apartment with harsh chemicals and becomes pathologically afraid of getting bed bugs.

But Miller, who became an actress and writer, doesn’t write vindictively about her parents. She describes them as “doting, fallible people that gave me

everything they had, and a whole lot more.”

She recalls how loving and playful her father was when she was a child, and how her mother scrounged together money so that she could spend a semester abroad when financial aid fell through. When they were eating out, as they were commonly forced to, or doing anything away from their home, they instantly became a laughing, loving, nearly functional family.

Her parents seem aware of their problems, but powerless to make substantial life changes. “How am I crazy today?” her father says affably whenever Miller calls as an adult to talk

about treatment or causes of hoarding.

Her mother is more regretful. “One day you aren’t going be able to pretend everything was OK, and you’re going to hate us,” she says.

But it is to Miller’s credit that she never does. Meeting a new friend who confesses that she also grew up with a hoarder parent, they muse over why people stay with hoarders. Her friend is mystified, but Miller says she understands why.

“I did know why her father stayed, and my mother stayed and why we, as children, stay,” she writes. “Life without their stuff just wasn’t worth life without them.”

What’s it like to live with hoarder parents? In Kimberly Rae Miller’s memoir, Coming Clean, the writer doesn’t minimize the destruction the disorder causes families. But she uses her own experience to paint a much more compassionate and nuanced portrait of the illness than is usually shown on reality TV shows like Hoarders.

Growing up, only child Miller knew her family was different.

No Justice will play in Alberta for the first time on Saturday, Aug. 24, at the Texas Connection Music Festival at the Daines Rodeo Grounds near Innisfail.

No Justice brings ‘red dirt’ north BAND PLAYS A MIX OF FOLK, ROCK, COUNTRY, BLUEGRASS, BLUES, WESTERN SWING AND HONKY TONK

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

“Red dirt” country band No Justice has long been taking its music to new frontiers beyond the Oklahoma-Texas border.

The U.S. group has toured its country-folk, rootsrock sound through Ireland, Mexico, the Dominican Republic — and has even jammed with various musicians in Jamaica.

“One night a Rastafarian played the trumpet with us, next time, another Rastafarian dropped in to play the guitar with us. It was truly cool to be able to do that,” said No Justice singer/guitarist Steve Rice, who believes music, of any kind, opens doors.

“Even if you don’t understand (the words) it breaks a lot of barriers.”

The next place the band plans to break into is Canada.

No Justice will play in Alberta for the first time

on Saturday, Aug. 24, at the Texas Connection Music Festival at the Daines Rodeo Grounds near Innisfail, along with Jackson Taylor and the Sinners, and Big Casino.

Rice admitted he has no idea what to expect from the Great White North — he doesn’t even know whether his group has many fans up here. “If there’s not a lot, we’re going to make some more!” he said, with a chuckle.

South of the border, No Justice is becoming known for well written, “Americana-Southern rock” songs about relationships, including the ballad Red Dress, The Toast and Love Song — which got a lot of exposure after being used on the Rock Band video game.

America’s Son, the group’s latest album, takes its sound in a rootsier direction than the previous release, 2nd Avenue — and Rice is fine with that.

“It gets us back to our original idea — which is more roots than rock. But it’s where I’m most comfortable,” said the singer, who has lived his whole life around Stillwater, Okla., where red dirt music springs from.

The genre has been described as a mix of folk, rock, country, bluegrass, blues, Western swing and honky tonk — even a few Mexican influences.

Rice took on much of the writing on America’s Son, including three song collaborations with band bassist Justin Morris and lead guitarist Cody Patton. The

Top 10 single Shot in the Dark was the first song the band members came up with. “We wrote it in a hotel room and it provoked more writing from within the band,” recalled Rice of the song about getting up the nerve to make a connection in a crowded bar.

The singer said he always writes about what he knows. “I don’t do well with making up stories in my head. I typically turn to topics everybody can relate to.”

For instance, the title for the tune Life’s Too Short, pretty much says it all.

“That was a song we originally wrote for 2nd Avenue, but it didn’t fit real well on that record so we saved it for this one,” added Rice.

The songwriter was hospitalized several times last March for gall bladder surgery, a viral infection and, ultimately, pneumonia, which resulted in a buildup of fluid around his heart and lungs. But he’s in fine health now.

Rice doesn’t see himself writing specifically about those “scary” experiences. “But it does give you a different outlook on life in general,” which will undoubtedly colour future songwriting, he said.

Tickets to the outdoor festival are $35. For more ticket, schedule and timetable information, visit www.txconnection.com. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Film tears strip off family values JENNIFER ANISTON, JASON SUDEIKIS IN GROSS-OUT COMEDY ABOUT DRUG SMUGGLERS PASSING AS AN ALL-AMERICAN FAMILY

BY LINDA BARNARD SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

We’re the Millers Two stars (out of four) Rated: 14A We’re the Millers asks you to believe that somewhere in this world there’s a pot dealer who prides himself on not selling to kids and a stripper who never takes her bra off.

It’s all in the service of gross-out comedy (how many times must I write this descriptor this year?) that sends David (Horrible Bosses’ Jason Sudeikis, recently departed from SNL) on a fool’s errand to try to repay his gleefully nasty drug lord Brad (The Hangover’s Ed Helms) whom he owes after a spot of bother with some thieving thugs made off with his stash and his cash.

Brad tells Dave a quick jaunt to Mexico to ferry “a smidge or mary-juana” across the border will erase his debt, plus result in a cash incentive. It’s an offer Dave can’t refuse, but how to organize the haul without a trip to the slammer?

Dave hits on the bright idea that no border guard would look twice at an all-American family heading south for some authentic chimichangas on the Fourth of July, then coming back to the land of the free and the brave.

But where does a lone dealer find a family?

Enter his sarcastic stripping neighbour Rose (Jennifer Aniston, aka the peeler who doesn’t), snide street kid Casey (Emma Roberts) and loveable in-

Photo by ADVOCATE new services

Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Will Poulter and Emma Roberts star in We’re the Millers.

At the nocent teen from his building, Kenny (the magnificently eyebrow-endowed Will Poulter). David offers to share the wealth with the crew, reminding a reluctant Rose this isn’t drug dealing, it’s a higher calling: smuggling!

Soon they’re scrubbed, buffed and puffed and rebranded as the Millers.

Directed by Dodgeball’s Rawson Marshall Thurber, the screenplay by Bob Fisher and Steve Faber (Wedding Crashers) and Sean Anders and John Morris (Hot Tub Time Machine) initially offers some comic promise as we watch these trash-talking low-lifes struggle to get all American.

But the wheels fall off the Winnebago rather quickly as the story takes the same bumpy road as

the newly minted Miller’s massive RV, getting off at easy gags instead of taking a more scenic story route.

Do we need to see the results of a spider bite to Kenny’s testicle? Why yes, we do. In fact, let’s show them the whole kit and caboodle as long as we’re down there.

The red-band trailer pretty much does the entire movie in under three minutes if time is tight this week. Or rent 2012’s Wanderlust with Aniston and Paul Rudd. It’s pretty much all there.

Still, Sudeikis is certainly the most likable drug dealer you’re ever going to meet. He and Aniston, who is not without comic talents and is rocking an admirable hot body she’s obviously worked hard to acquire, despite her no-nudity clause, have solid chemistry onscreen, especially with a running gag revolving around a decoy baby.

The problem with We’re the Millers is the fun times never last.

A trailer park meet-up with fellow RVers, the Fitzgeralds (Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn) a pair of uptight campers curious about taking a walk on the wild side is fun, if not predictable. But a noit’s-not incest make-out scene is so creepy it may make you want to stick your head in the popcorn bucket.

SPRING FLOWER

TELEVISION

In Clear History, David is a little restrained

BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES A feature-length dose of Larry David is probably not on some people’s wish-list (Some people, Larry!

I said some!), but director Greg Mottola’s HBO film Clear History — co-written by and starring Larry David — turns out to be a surprisingly pleasant tech-era parable about hubris and greed.

These are well-trod themes for David, as are the frequent detours into nitpicky compulsions; no matter the role he’s playing, you can bet that the Larryesque character will kvetch about wall sockets or dirty silverware or the age-old conundrum of two drivers staring each other down when they meet on a narrow road.

But under Mottola’s direction and with what appears to be an ebullient and productive collaboration with an array of writers, producers and co-stars, Clear History fashions a newer, more restrained Larry from the wake of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It’s a somewhat kinder and gentler approach, and it works.

This time, David plays an irritable Silicon Valley marketing guru named Nathan Flomm. Wearing a wig and beard that more or less make him look like a Geico Caveman, David’s Nathan rashly resigns from his job at an electric-car venture, cashing out his 10 per cent share in the start-up, all because he doesn’t like the name (“Howard”) that his vainglorious boss, Will (Jon Hamm), has bestowed on the revolutionary automobile.

Naturally, the Howard all but solves the energy crisis and becomes a ubiquitous sight on the road, while Nathan goes down in financial history as the fool who walked away from a billion-dollar investment. (This mirrors David’s real-life and oft-repeated self-flagellation that he once owned 10 per cent of Apple, but unloaded his shares before the iPod changed everything.)

Utterly humiliated (and broke), Nathan relocates to Martha’s Vineyard, trades the hippy look for the mensch-in-khakis look, and starts life over as Rolly DaVore, where for 10 years he lives modestly, works as a caregiver and makes friends in the blue-collar set.

Wouldn’t you know that Will, now a multi-billionaire, arrives with his new wife (Kate Hudson) to build a garish mansion on the harbor. Driven by both his renewed jealousy and the panic that his real identity will be revealed, Rolly launches a series of comical schemes meant to drive Will away.

There’s not a lot of plot to be had here, and the news that Clear History leaned heavily on the improvisational impulses of its cast might usually ward off the improv-weary. But Clear History has a nice, confident and well-edited breeze to it (including a lot of jokes about the band Chicago), with a fun cast that includes standout riffs from Michael Keaton, Danny McBride and Eva Mendes.

Curb Your Enthusiasm fans may miss some of the existential darkness (I guess that’s what I’d call it), but the infinite awkwardness and can’t-win-forlosing Larry David worldview remains. And, after a carb-heavy diet of HBO-made films that are only ever celebrity-biopic downers (Liberace, Alfred Hitchcock, Phil Spector), I’m officially submitting this request: make more comedies.

Until the end of August, patrons to the Cafe Pichilingue on Ross Street can view several photographs by Red Deer photographer Sheldon Klassen, including this piece titled Spring Flower.

NORWEGIAN LAFT HUS Free 25TH ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL for Red Deer’s Centennial

AUGUST 17 & 18, 2013

LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s exwife broke into tears on Wednesday when she took the witness stand in a civil case and described the singer’s fear of pain and trust of physicians.

Debbie Rowe said the pop star trusted doctors to prescribe pain medication to him, but they sometimes tried to outdo each other while losing sight of Jackson’s care.

“Michael had a very low pain tolerance and his fear of pain was incredible,” Rowe said. “I think the doctors took advantage of him that way.”

She said she was with Jackson when he received treatments from his longtime dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein and from another physician, Dr. Steven Hoefflin. The two doctors would try to out-do each other in the pain medications they gave the singer, she said.

“These idiots were going back and forth the whole time, not caring about him,” Rowe told jurors.

Katherine Jackson claims in her lawsuit that AEG Live failed to properly investigate the doctor convicted of giving her son an overdose of anesthetic in 2009.

AEG denies any wrongdoing.

Is Duck Dynasty America’s best family sitcom?

Ad campaign touts hairlessness as the new macho for men

The Robertsons, a close-knit, multi-generational, religious Southern family that has made a fortune crafting duck calls, have described their show as “guided reality.” genuine partners, not adversaries — does not inspire in them panic or outright misogyny.

Unlike their sitcom brethren, the Robertsons are not sad-sacks but successes. Changing social and economic circumstances have made them more protective of their guns and their religion and their beards, but have otherwise allowed them to thrive. They are rich and getting richer, famous and widely beloved: if it is the end of men, it is not the end of them, and the show’s spirit reflects their good fortune. So long as they get to keep their beards — much to their wives’ chagrin — they are content and confident enough not to mind that the joke’s on them.

And the Robertsons, more than any other reality

Happy to be an iconic figure FISHER MUM ON NEW STAR WARS; STILL ENJOYS ENDURING POPULARITY

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — It’s been 36 years since Star Wars came out, introducing the world to the iconic doublebun hairstyle of Princess Leia — but for Carrie Fisher, now 56, it’s clear that the ardour hasn’t faded.

And it’s on full display at fan conventions — like Toronto’s Fan Expo Canada, which runs from Aug. 22 to 25 — where she’ll occasionally receive the oddest of requests.

“Generally, it’s people having me sign their bodies so that they can have it tattooed,” she marvelled from her home in Los Angeles. “That’s happened a few times now. ... It wasn’t in weird spots, it was just really going to hurt, like on the palm of their hand, or the crook of their arm.”

But while some film icons might project preciousness or archness about being asso- Carrie Fisher, known for her ciated with such role as Princess Leia in the an important char- original Star Wars trilogy, will acter, Fisher has rather gracefully appear at Fan Expo, from Aug. pursued her own 22 to 25. passion projects.

She has settled into a life of scriptwriting, authoring memoirs and the occasional one-woman show; she also speaks out about mental health awareness, a cause close to her heart since she was diagnosed as bipolar when she was 28. Still, she maintains and enjoys her ties to the Star Wars world.

“I don’t take any of this very seriously,” she says.

“It was a really fun movie to make — not all the time, but it was fun to make, being a girl in an all-boy fantasy. ... People just love it. It’s like a fairy tale, it’s part of their youth, so there’s something really innocent. It’s the best part of people that like it.”

Fame, says Fisher, means nothing.

“It wasn’t like I wanted to be in show business, I always was,” says Fisher, the daughter of

Pouty supermodel No. 1 says she likes a man with a little hair on his chest, “but definitely not on his back.”

Pouty supermodel No. 2 likes a man with a smooth stomach “to show off his six-pack,” according to the unidentified narrator who apparently speaks for her.

She winks in agreement.

And pouty supermodel No. 3 says she prefers a man without any hair at all. She doesn’t think that’s weird? Narrator Dude asks. “I don’t,” she confirms, with a purr.

She doesn’t?

Gillette, the razor giant, wants men to take it all, or at least much of it, off. In an ad campaign featuring ubiquitous blond babe Kate Upton (she’s pouty supermodel No. 1), the company touts its ProGlide Styler as the device for the full-body treatment.

What’s remarkable about the Upton TV commercial is not just its basic message — guys, you should be shaving down there — but who’s delivering the message. In the spot, set amid a pool party that suggests the last days of ancient Rome, women are set up as the arbiters of what it means to be manly, a role women rarely play in TV commercials. In this case, the women want what men demanded of women long ago — that they become hairless.

Advertisers have reduced men to hunks and beefcakes before. The most famous ad in this vein may have been a Diet Coke commercial in the mid-1990s that featured a model named Lucky Vanous stripping off his shirt at a construction site as a group of young women watched with lascivious delight from their office window. (Diet Coke “updated” the ad earlier this year with a look-alike British model, Andrew Cooper.) It was supposed to be funny — a wry reversal on all those panting babes-in-bikinis beer commercials.

And advertisers have also long instructed men about what machismo is supposed to look like. Sunday afternoon football games are packed with TV commercials for pickup trucks, beer, tires, sports drinks and other products that stress strength, toughness, sweat and other supposedly male traits. Marketers have been defining manhood long before a popular Rolling Stones song immortalized the phenomenon: “When I’m watchin’ my TV, and a man comes on and tells me how white my shirts can be / But he can’t be a man ‘cause he doesn’t smoke, the same cigarettes as me.”

But men telling men to man up is one thing. Using women to do so is more unusual. Indeed, Gillette says the Upton campaign, called What Women Want, is the first in its 112-year history in which women take the lead in promoting a product for men.

The unusual approach reflected some culturally GALAXY CINEMAS RED DEER tricky terrain, says Su357-37400 HWY 2, RED DEER COUNTY 403-348-2357 san Oguche, a company SHOWTIMES FOR FRIDAY AUGUST 16, 2013 spokeswoman.

TV family, seem totally in on the joke. Duck Dynasty has a nearly frictionless relationship with exploitation — as in, you do not watch it and think anyone is being exploited — an extremely rare feat for any reality show, but especially one about the personal lives of its protagonists. Duck Dynasty offers the best of both TV worlds: as with a sitcom, you can watch without feeling any creeping ickiness at the lives being upended or mocked for your entertainment.

And as with a reality show, you can enjoy genuinely idiosyncratic individuals who are too specific — too Southern, too Christian, too into their guns, too hairy, too rich — ever to appear in a sitcom.

actress Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher. “I didn’t have any ambition to be in it, so I didn’t have any ambition to be famous; I’d been around it all my life and it was not an exotic thing, and I knew the downsides of it. I wanted to be a writer.”

Recently, Star Wars fans have been clamouring for information in the wake of J.J. Abrams’ agreement to direct a proposed Episode VII, but they are being rebuffed at every turn.

At a high-profile convention in California over the weekend, the chairman of Walt Disney Studios was booed for not dispensing any details about Episode VII beyond its release date of summer 2015. And while it has been widely rumoured that she, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford will reprise their iconic roles in the new film, Fisher was tight-lipped, even when pressed for any detail.

“It’s not for me to talk about. I’m someone with a big mouth, and I get in trouble every time I talk about something, so anything to do with this (Star Wars) is not my ... thing to discuss,” she says.

She even played it coy as to whether there would be a movie at all. “If they are doing a new movie, they have a director who’s a terrific director. I think anything that he does should be greatly anticipated, because he’s really creative.”

NEW YORK — One of America’s broadest and best family sitcoms, Duck Dynasty, which is, yes, also a reality TV show, returns for its fourth season this week on A&E. Duck Dynasty, about the antics of Louisiana’s hirsute, wealthy, proudly redneck Roberston clan, has been a huge hit for the cable channel, racking up ratings that would be the envy of ABC, NBC, CBS or Fox. Executives at those networks must be beating their chests: Duck Dynasty is exactly the comedy they have been trying and failing to make for years and years. It is the funny, likeable, idiosyncratic, noncreepy, upbeat version of the crisis of masculinity sitcoms that have cycled through the networks, with more coming this fall. It’s a show in which men, aware of a changing world, hyper-perform certain aspects of their machismo — facial hair, hunting, a no-one-tells-me-what-to-do attitude — but with two key ingredients: self-awareness and joviality. The Robertson men happily ham it up for the camera they know is there, laughing instead of crying about the end of men, and it takes the sourness out of the shtick.

The Robertsons, a close-knit, multigenerational, religious Southern family that has made a fortune crafting duck calls, have described their show as “guided reality.” This means they are in cahoots with the producers when it comes to planning and executing any given episode’s plot points, which tend to be ripped right out of sitcom 101. Past episodes have followed the family on camping trips and high school reunions. They all hew to sitcom beats and are punctuated by solid to very good one-liners: the Robertsons are quick and deadpan improvisers.

In this week’s premiere, the three grown Robertson sons — straight man Willie, wise-cracking Jase, easygoing li’l bro Jep — are prodded by their wives into planning a vow-renewal ceremony for their parents on the occasion of their 48th wedding anniversary. Jase and Willie complain endlessly — about their wives’ texting habits, how they would rather be fishing, having to get dressed up — until the whole thing comes off without a hitch and they conclude that part of being a man is doing anything to keep your wife happy, even if you whine about it the whole time.

The wives of Duck Dynasty are also familiar from sitcoms: they let their husbands get up to all the mischief, while they roll their eyes and, ultimately, are proven right. They are the soft power behind the loveable blowhards. Many of Duck Dynasty’s plots and jokes revolve around a low-key anxiety about being emasculated, but though the men on Duck Dynasty may fetishize certain masculine behaviors and generalize about women for the camera, modern gender relations — in which men and women are

Rick leaves to mourn his loving wife of 39 years, Sharen Feth, his sons; Michael (Bill) Vincent and Mark Feth, and his grandchildren; Haylee, Lucas, DJ, Darren and Bryan. Rick will also be missed by his uncle, Lawrence, sister-in-law, Judy Hacon, and by his many cousins and good friends.

Rick was predeceased by his daughter, Angie, his sister, Maryanne Bouzek, and his sister-in-law, Lynne Pheifer.

A Celebration of Rick’s Life will be held at CrossRoads Church, 38105 R.R. 275, Red Deer County, on Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.

Memorial contributions may be made to The Lending Cupboard Society, 5406C 43 Street, Red Deer, Alberta, T4N 1C9. Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting

New mammal species ‘hiding in plain sight’ RACCOON-LIKE CRITTER WITH TEDDY BEAR LOOKS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Imagine a mini-raccoon with a teddy bear face that is so cute it’s hard to resist, let alone overlook. But somehow science did — until now.

Researchers announced Thursday a rare discovery of a new species of mammal called the olinguito.

The reddish-brown animal is about 14-inches long with an equally long tail and weighs about 2 pounds.

It belongs to a grouping of large creatures that include dogs, cats and bears.

The critter leaps through the trees of mountainous forests of Ecuador and Colombia at night, according to a Smithsonian researcher who has spent the past decade tracking them.

But the adorable olinguito (oh-lihn-GEE’-toe) shouldn’t have been so hard to find. One of them once lived in the Smithsonian-run National Zoo in Washington for a year in a case of mistaken identity.

“It’s been kind of hiding in plain sight for a long time” despite its extraordinary beauty, said Kristofer Helgen, the Smithsonian’s curator of mammals.

The little zoo critter, named Ringerl, was mistaken for a sister species, the olingo. Before she died in 1976, Ringerl was shipped from zoo to zoo in Louisville, Ky., Tucson, Ariz., Salt Lake City, Washington and New York City to try to get it to breed with other olingos.

She wouldn’t.

“It turns out she wasn’t fussy,” Helgen said. “She wasn’t the right species.”

The discovery is described in a study in the journal ZooKey. Helgen first figured olinguitos were different from olingos when he was looking at pelts and skeletons in a museum. He later led a team to South America in 2006.

“When we went to the field we found it in the very first night,” said study co-author Roland Kays of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. “It was almost like it was waiting for us.”

It’s hard to figure how olingos and onlinguitos were confused for each other.

“How is it different? In almost every way that you can look at it,” Helgen said.

Olinguitos are smaller, have shorter tails, a rounder face, tinier ears and darker bushier fur, he said.

“It looks kind of like a fuzzball . . . kind of like a cross between a teddy bear and a house cat,” Helgen

This undated photo provided by the Smithsonian Institution shows an olinguito. The Smithsonian announced on Thursday that they have discovered that the mammal, which they had previously mistaken for an olingo, is actually a distinct species. The olinguito belongs to the grouping of large creatures that include dogs, cats and bears. The raccoon-sized critters leap through the trees of the cloud forests of Ecuador and Colombia at night, according to a Smithsonian researcher who has spent the past decade tracking them. said.

It eats fruit and has one baby at a time. Helgen figures there are thousands of olinguitos in the mountainous forest, travelling through the trees at night which makes them hard to see.

While new species are found regularly, usually they are tiny things like insects and not mammals, the warm-blooded advanced class of animals that have hair, live births and mammary glands in females.

Outside experts said this discovery is not merely renaming something, but a genuine new species — with three new subspecies. It’s the type of significant find that hasn’t happened in the Americas for about 35 years.

“Most people believe there are no new species to

discover, particularly of relatively large charismatic animals,” said Case Western Reserve University anatomy professor Darin Croft. “This study demonstrates that this is clearly not the case.”

The olinguito is the smallest member of the raccoon family of mammals.

The researchers only saw olinguitos in Ecuador and Colombia, but they said they could also be living in parts of Panama, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, and Guyana, based on their cloud forest habitat.

The olingo is also native to Central and South America.

The North Carolina museum is already selling olinguito stuffed animals for about $15. Proceeds will benefit habitat preservation for the creatures.

NASA, U.S. Navy practise recovering a space capsule at sea

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NORFOLK, Va. — During the glory days of the U.S. space program in the 1960s and ’70s, astronauts returning to Earth splashed down at sea in their capsules and were picked up by the Navy in a triumphant moment that made for stirring TV. Now, NASA and the Navy are training again for the first such recovery in more than a generation.

On Thursday, they completed several days of tests, practicing the retrieval of an unmanned mock-up of the Orion capsule that the U.S. hopes to send someday to an asteroid and Mars.

Navy divers and the crew of the USS Arlington carried out the exercise in the calm waters of the Elizabeth River at a Naval Station Norfolk pier.

In a statement, Adm. Bill Gortney, commander of Navy’s U.S. Fleet Forces Command, welcomed the chance to take part again in recovering NASA astronauts “just as we did nearly a half-century ago in support of America’s quest to put a man on the moon.”

From 1961 to 1975, teams of Navy ships tracked and recovered Mercury, Gemini and Apollo spacecraft after they splashed down.

Typically, frogmen would swim up to the pitching, bobbing spacecraft and help the astronauts out.

Then helicopters would hoist the men and their capsule and fly them to a waiting aircraft carrier. In a few instances, the astronauts would remain inside the capsule while a crane lifted it aboard a ship.

After Apollo ended, U.S. astronauts began flying the space shuttle, which returns to Earth on a landing strip like an airplane. With the end of that program in 2011, astronauts began hitching rides aboard Russia’s Soyuz capsule, which parachutes to a landing on the steppes of Kazakhstan.

Now, with Orion still under development, the Defence Department and NASA have to dust off their old recovery playbook and update it to achieve something they haven’t done since 1975.

“The test we’re seeing today is really the first time that we’ve worked together with DOD to recover a capsule, really since that mission. So it’s a pretty historic start to this program that we’re doing,” said Scott Wilson, NASA’s manager of production operations for the Orion program.

In a break with the past, the Navy doesn’t plan to use helicopters to retrieve Orion, although they will be available on standby. Instead, an amphibious transport ship will come close to the capsule and dispatch divers and small boat teams to go secure it.

As they did on Thursday, those crews will attach a winch line to Orion and tow it into the amphibious ship’s well deck, a compartment that can be deliber-

ately flooded. Then the well deck will be drained, allowing the astronauts to step out of the capsule.

NASA decided to employ an amphibious ship about seven years ago, in part because it is less expensive than using a large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. It also allows for astronauts who may be weakened by space travel to avoid a physically draining extraction at sea. The crew can stay inside the capsule while it is being recovered.

More training and testing of the procedure are planned in the coming years. Astronauts will not fly into space aboard Orion until 2021 at the earliest.

Some of the splashdowns during the U.S. space program’s Right Stuff era nearly ended in tragedy: In 1961, the Liberty Bell 7 capsule carrying Gus Grissom sank to the bottom of the Atlantic, apparently after the hatch blew prematurely, and Grissom almost drowned. The capsule was finally raised in 1999.

In 1962, Mercury astronaut Scott Carpenter’s Aurora 7 overshot its target in the Atlantic by 250 miles and all contact with him was lost for about a half-hour. By the time rescuers spotted him, he had climbed out of his capsule and into his life raft.

SpaceX, a private company that has sent three of its Dragon cargo spacecraft to the International Space station so far, has been retrieving its unmanned capsules from the Pacific since 2010, though without Navy involvement.
