Gavin van Kuppeveld can’t help but leave his artistic mark on beaches all over the world. On Saturday, the Sherwood Park resident made three larger-than-life sand crocodiles beside Sylvan Lake. The self-taught sand sculptor credits various kids on the beach for helping him find stones for the crocs’ eyeballs and creating the ridges along their backs.

‘THIS HAS BEEN THE BUSIEST WEEKEND SINCE CANADA DAY — AND IT MIGHT BE EVEN BUSIER.’

Central Alberta is in line for another transmission project.

The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) wants to upgrade the transmission system between Vermilion and Red Deer to accommodate incoming wind generation projects.

Upgrading transmission in the area was first approved in 2011, but since then some wind generation projects were scrapped and others proposed, so AESO is tweaking its original plan.

AESO spokesman Paul Deleske told Lacombe County council last week that the project is still in its early stages. The background work to support the need for transmission upgrades is not expected to be submitted to Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) until the late fall.

A general overview show one link between Vermilion to Red Deer, and one from Edgerton, near Wainwright, to Provost.

However, the AUC process to evaluate the need and give the green light to proceed to a facilities application is at least 18 months off.

Deleske said a series of 13 public open houses will kick off in Red Deer on Aug. 5 and end in Stettler on Aug. 27. Others in this region include a Halkirk stop on Aug. 25 and Stettler on Aug. 27.

Details on routes will not be available at the open houses, which will focus on the need for the upgrades.

Busy beekeepers go about their business ÇITY HAS NO REGULATION OF BACKYARD HIVES

prevent swarming, said Briere.

Wild bees are also known to split from an overpopulated hive and fly around in a cluster looking for a new home.

When Blackfalds homeowners discovered thousands of bees in their house rafters in May, the Red Deer Beekeepers were called for assistance.

An innovative group member built his own “bee vac” to suction up the bees into a hive he later moved to his property.

Briere said municipalities officials have also occasionally asked the group to help deal with such bee dilemmas.

She likes the idea of fostering a co-operative relationship between municipalities and community beekeepers.

Edmonton is officially getting into backyard beekeeping by approving a pilot project for city residents this month.

Urban beekeeping, which has been creating a buzz in Edmonton, is already taking off in Red Deer.

This city, like Calgary, has no local bylaws against keeping bees in the city, so an estimated 10 Red Deer residents already have backyard hives that produce honey.

If these activities have largely gone unnoticed, it’s because bees are already a part of our natural environment, and the Red Deer Beekeepers have also been doing a good job of controlling their bees, said the group’s chair, Charity Briere.

“Responsible beekeepers make regular inspections of their hives and they know what to look for. If the bees are getting crowded, you just add another box on top” to Please see BEES on Page A2

City stands still as power goes out OFFICIALS INVESTIGATING VERY UNIQUE, BIG GLITCH THAT CAUSED OUTAGE Photo by ASHLI BARRETT/Advocate staff

Jayce Cook, right, gets his dad, Jeff, in on his sand castle building Friday afternoon at Sylvan Lake. The lake is a popular spot on warm summer days for Central Albertans, especially with the Red Deer River running too fast for rafters.

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

LINES: Will likely involve new routes The 240-kilovolt lines will likely involve some new routes, but AltaLink, the company in charge of designing and building the lines, will also consider existing rights-of-way.

Coun. Rod McDermand questioned why wind projects were not built closer to existing transmission lines to reduce the need for additional infrastructure.

“I think they are just looking at cheaper land to build them on,” he said.

Deleske said AESO has no role in directing companies where to build their generation projects, or even to suggest what sort of generation, wind, coal or natural gas should be pursued.

If approved, the transmission lines would likely be energized in five to six years.

Information packages have already been sent to residents in the area and more is coming this summer.

BEES: Possible to co-exist with bees Since Red Deer has no bylaw against beekeeping and the insects are already part of the great outdoors, Briere believes Red Deer City Council isn’t overly interested in taking an administrative response, which would cost time and money.

“It’s possible to peacefully co-exist with bees,” she stressed.

Although they are not aggressive insects — (“unlike wasps, bees have no interest in human food,” she said) — her group members’ bees were specially bred for docility by a B.C. breeder.

Briere recently tried to see how much she could bug a couple of her bees before they would sting her, and found it took several pokes to get just one sting.

Since bees generally die after using their stinger, she said they prefer to mind their business of pollination without engaging in a lot of human interaction. As a result of bees, fruit trees and vegetables gardens thrive.

Briere believes the residential gardens in her Parkvale neighbourhood are nicer and more produc-

tive, thanks to the hive in her yard. Among the long list of fruits and vegetables that depend on bee pollination are apples, raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, turnips, cabbage, cucumbers, beets, broccoli, sunflowers and canola.

She got into urban beekeeping after attending a local educational workshop held by a Calgary beekeepers’ group. Briere was initially interested in backyard beekeeping for the same reason she grows vegetables and keeps a few laying hens.

“I’m really interested in food production for my family.”

Besides making honey, another benefit of bees is their activities are very educational for her and her children, Briere added.

The Red Deer Beekeepers have about 25 members, with some living in the rural area.

For more information about the group, please visit Red Deer Beekeepers on Facebook or email reddeer.bees@gmail.com. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

HOT: About time “The whole two weeks of July so far have been hot,” Nielsen added, so even weekdays evenings have been bustling.

A lineup for ice cream at The Big Moo was almost out the shop’s front door Saturday afternoon — but was progressing steadily.

And Marc Pritchard, a cashier at the sunscreen counter, was loving the business.

All the patrons are keeping local people gainfully employed, said Pritchard, who noted a lot of college students are appreciating the extra shifts. “The truth is, it was a slow spring, and this keeps everybody working.”

Outside, beach-goers were revelling in the sunshine. “It’s about time!” said Lynette Curry of Red Deer. Although the crowded lake was a little “zoolike,” Curry added, “I love it.”

Bonnie Whidden, her husband and two kids from Edmonton, were anticipating getting on some personal watercraft. “We came yesterday and it’s been great,” said Widden, who noted her kids particularly enjoyed the water.

Saturday was so hot, kayaker Kyle Martens didn’t mind tipping into the lake a couple of times to cool off.

“This is the nicest weekend . . . It’s great to be out here and come out of your shell,” said Ashlyn Price, 20, of Calgary, who was looking forward to playing beach volleyball. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF A third of Red Deer was hit by a massive power outage on Saturday afternoon that disabled traffic lights and closed retail stores and restaurants.

“It’s like The Day the Earth Stood Still,” said city resident Emily Cupples, who was walking by City Hall Park.

She likened the eeriness of the darkened traffic lights along much of Ross Street, Gaetz Avenue and 32nd Street to the science fiction movie about an alien invasion.

Electric power went out at 4:41 p.m. and was not restored until 5:35 p.m. City motorists had to fend for themselves in the interim, with no one directing traffic at most major and minor intersections spanning from Riverside Meadows to the north to just south of the Bower Place Shopping Centre.

The power failure affected the entire downtown area, including Parkvale, as well as the West Park and Mountview neighbourhoods and some of Oriole Park.

Yet no major accidents were reported, as most drivers caught on to using the intersections as fourway stops.

The cause of the outage is a yet-undiscovered glitch at one of Red Deer’s three major sub-stations that feed electricity from the provincial grid, said Jim Jorgensen, manager of the city’s electric light and power department.

“This kind of thing is not very common at all. It was very unique and very big,” added Jorgensen.

He credits city crews for managing to restore power within 45 minutes to a third of Red Deer by “transferring the load to other resources in the city.”

City workers are still investigating to find the problem that caused the substation’s safety system to shut down power.

It was not caused by an overuse of air conditioners or old equipment, since funds were recently spent on upgrades to that station, said Jorgensen.

“We received an alarm about emergency conditions . . . we have to figure out what it is.”

Many retail stores were forced to close, including Target, The Bay and Sears at the Bower Place Shopping Centre — although the rest of the mall maintained electricity.

Restaurants such as The Noodle House and Phil’s in downtown Red Deer also had to shut temporarily.

Gloria and Lawrence Murphy, who were dining at Phil’s, were glad to have cash to pay for their meals, since the cash registers weren’t working. “We just came in from Eckville for dinner,” said Gloria, who also got some unexpected excitement.

Jorgensen said he’s glad local motorists largely managed to cope with the lack of traffic lights. “For the most part, drivers have a good understanding of the rules of the road.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

The real sound of cool RED DEER GUITAR MAKER BUILDS REPUTATION

David Gilmore buffs a steel guitar at his Gilmore Guitars shop Wednesday afternoon. All of his guitars are handcrafted. take about 150 hours to complete, and each electric guitar requires 90 to 100 hours of labour, so they respectively start selling for $2,500 or $1,200 each.

Gilmore said this is far below what many custom guitar makers charge, but “I don’t have the brand name awareness yet.”

He believes his main customers have, so far, been singer/songwriters and veteran guitar players because they most appreciate the quality and subtle sound distinctions.

“Every guitar has a personality.”

The 52-year-old spent the previous three decades working in radio sales and D.J.-ing — much of that time at the lo-

LOCAL

BRIEFS Two arrested after police car rammed, officers injured Two suspects were arrested after a police car was rammed into three times by another vehicle in Ponoka and two officers were injured.

Ponoka RCMP officers on patrol spotted a truck parked at a suspicious angle in front of a local tire shop in the early hours of Friday morning.

As police approached, two suspects ran back inside the vehicle and attempted to leave the scene.

A fully marked police car, which was blocking the truck, was rammed into three times before occupants of the truck were taken into RCMP custody.

Two officers received minor injuries and were treated in hospital and released.

Police investigators found the truck was stolen from Calgary and the tire compound was in the process of being broken into.

Kenneth James Brimner, 50, and Gina Marie Goduto, 35, both of Calgary, were charged with multiple offences, including break and enter, committing theft over $5,000, and possession of property obtained through crime.

Brimner was also charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and assaulting a peace officer with a weapon.

Goduto was released on bail and is to appear in Ponoka provincial court on July 18.

Brimner remains in custody and is set to appear in court on the same date.

cal stations CKGY and Z-99.

But his affiliation with music actually started when he was a toddler.

“I used to play my mom’s guitar like a stand-up bass,” he recalled, with a chuckle.

After leaving the family farm near Weyburn, Sask, at age 18, Gilmore played guitar in a rock band. He said he might still be doing it, except the drummers kept quitting.

“It was really hard to keep personnel . . . ” He later took a break from his radio career and studied, with his wife Adrienne’s blessing, at the Timeless Instruments lutherie (string instrument making) school in a fairly remote part of Saskatchewan, north of Moose Jaw.

The joke goes that Tugaske, Sask. is halfway between Eyebrow, Sask, and Elbow, Sask. “which makes it about the armpit,” said Gilmore.

He made guitars as a hobby for many years after taking the 10-week program, but decided to go professional by opening his shop three years ago.

One of his most popular styles is called the Model A, as a tribute to Adrienne for all her support.

Gilmore said sales of original guitars at his shop at Bay 6, 4676-61st St. in the Riverside Industrial Park are slowly increasing, with 12 handmade instruments sold last year and 16 projected for this year.

tial yards, sometimes to neighbours’ annoyance.

Action to remove the structures isn’t usually taken by the county until the structures become an eyesore.

Proposed bylaw changes that went before council on Friday strengthened wording to specifically prohibit tarp buildings in all residentially zoned areas.

However, a pair of business owners who sell tarp structures said there are versions that are engineered to meet building standards and are a far cry from cheaper versions that tend to fall apart after a season or so.

They argued suitable tarp structures would not be out of place in residential areas and asked council to reconsider an outright prohibition.

Coun. Ken Wigmore suggested staff look into the issue to see if there are options that would allow tarp structures under certain conditions.

Staff plan to bring back a report to the Aug. 28 meeting.

Meanwhile, the same bylaw also included amendments to create three different campground categories.

Campground minor, intermediate and major come with an escalating requirements based on the number of users.

The changes were proposed because of an increasing demand for camping spots.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, lights David Gilmore’s fire like hearing a really good guitarist strumming one of his handmade instruments.

“There’s nothing cooler than hearing one of your guitars being used by somebody who really knows what he’s doing,” said the owner of Gilmore Guitars of Red Deer.

Fortunately, some very seasoned guitarists have purchased and now play his locally-made six-stringers.

They include Tom Wilson of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings (and formerly Junkhouse), Dan Walsh, who used to play with Fred Eaglesmith’s band The Flying Squirrels and who has three of his guitars, Ontario singer/songwriter Brock Zeman, and local performers Levi Cuss, Bradley Abel, and Jesse Roads.

“I’ve sold guitars as far away as Ireland,” said the local craftsman. But his word-ofmouth sales have mostly come from across Canada.

Gilmore, who studied guitar making in Saskatchewan in the mid-1990s, makes every part of his unique instruments himself — from hand-planing the guitar necks and using a jigsaw to cut narrow slots for metal frets, to creating a hidden support system for the wooden guitar faces.

“With the string tension, there’s 150 pounds of pressure across here,” said Gilmore, who noted all guitars could “implode” without internal supports.

As well as not using an assembly line or computerized milling process — (“I do everything by hand,” said Gilmore) — he also doesn’t use veneers.

He prefers working with solid woods, such as African mahogany, Sitka spruce, western red cedar, ebony and maple.

carbon-dependent — are locking us in for long-term consequences that we will not be able to change but only adapt to, at enormous cost.”

Both studies recommend carbon pricing as one method to address the climate crisis, with the World Bank arguing for “regulations, taxes, and incentives to stimulate a shift to clean transportation, improved industrial energy efficiency, and more energy efficient buildings and appliances.”

Contrast that with Harper and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s recent mutual back-patting in Ottawa.

Appearing oblivious to the reality of global warming and economic principles, both rejected the idea of a “jobkilling carbon tax.”

One Risky Business author, former Clinton treasury secretary Robert Rubin, also warned about the economic risks of relying on “stranded assets” — resources that must stay in the ground if we are to avoid dangerous levels of climate change, including much of the bitumen in Canada’s tar sands.

In a commentary in Nature, a multidisciplinary group of economists, scientists and other experts called for a moratorium on all oil sands expansion and transportation projects such as pipelines because of what they described in a news release as the “failure to adequately address carbon emissions or the cumulative effect of

multiple projects.” They want “Canada and the United States to develop a joint North American road map for energy development that recognizes the true social and environmental costs of infrastructure projects as well as account for national and international commitments to reduce carbon emissions.”

Those who fear or reject change are running out of excuses as humanity runs out of time.

Pitting the natural environment against the human-invented economy and placing higher value on the latter is foolish.

These reports show it’s time to consign that false dichotomy to the same dustbin as other debunked and discredited rubbish spread by those who profit from sowing doubt and confusion about global warming.

“Climate inaction inflicts costs that escalate every day,” World Bank Group vice-president Rachel Kyte said, adding its study “makes the case for actions that save lives, create jobs, grow economies and, at the same time, slow the rate of climate change. We place ourselves and our children at peril if we ignore these opportunities.”

If our leaders can’t comprehend that, let’s find some who can.

Temporary Foreign Worker program should have never seen the light of day Re: Temporary foreign workers This program should never have evolved and seen the light of day.

Joyce Constantineau’s article in the Red Deer Advocate of June 30 states all her negative feelings about Canadian workers while on the other hand puts much positive emphasis about the foreign workers she has encountered. From the tone of her comments, I believe she has other issues that are troubling her.

During the last war, Canada had a very successful manufacturing war effort. Canada developed new industries on short notice while many thousands of men and women were in the armed services.

It is interesting to note that these managers/owners at the time could

draft plans and implement without delay and without foreign workers. Today, businesses seem to have gotten into a rut by not conducting real-time planning and thoroughly investigating all aspects required when developing an enterprise.

Temporary foreign workers’ wages and benefits, such as air fare, medical and housing, are being paid to entice foreign workers to come and work in Canada. Why could these costs not be applied to a higher wage for a Canadian worker?

Tim Hortons, for example, has many franchises in Red Deer and are planning another franchise, knowing full well the labour shortages. Can this be greed?

Why does the provincial government and industry wish to develop every square acre of the tar sands and now find that existing pipelines cannot hold the crude oil that is being produced. Again, it shows the lack of planning and industry’s greed.

Lastly, no politician has commented on the fact that the temporary workers go home with their wages, spend their money in their home countries,

and Canada loses millions of dollars in economic benefits.

Leave the Alberta license plate alone Changing the look of Alberta’s license plate is just a political ploy by the Conservative Party to try divert attention and exposure away from the Wildrose Party. It won’t work. Albertans aren’t falling for it anymore.

We are tired of the Conservative lies, deception, and a total disregard for Albertans in general. This will just drive another nail in the Conservatives coffin in the next election. So go for it.

But of course there obviously isn’t any consideration for the wallets of Alberta having to pay for these new plates. However that is nothing new.

The Conservatives have never had any regard for the financial well being of the people of this province.

URGES WORLD LEADERS TO SIDE WITH ISRAEL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Terrorists are deliberately placing people in the path of an Israeli offensive aimed at stopping rocket attacks from Gaza, says Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Harper says there is evidence that Hamas, listed

by Canada as a terrorist organization, is using human shields in its attempts to stave off the Israeli offensive. “The indiscriminate rocket attacks from Gaza on Israel are terrorist acts, for which there is no justification,� Harper said in a statement issued Sunday. “It is evident that Hamas is deliberately using human shields to further terror in the region.�

Harper also called on other world leaders to rally behind Israel as it tries to prevent rockets being fired from Gaza into its territory.

Silence, he suggested, would only embolden Israel’s attackers. “Failure by the international community to condemn these reprehensible actions would encourage these terrorists to continue their appalling actions,�

Harper said. “Canada calls on its allies and partners to recognize that these terrorist acts are unacceptable and that solidarity with Israel is the best way of stopping the conflict.�

Harper’s statements came as Israel briefly deployed ground troops inside the Gaza Strip.

Israel had earlier warned northern Gaza residents to evacuate their homes as the six-day offensive that has killed more than 160 Palestinians was widened.

The United Nations Security Council and others have called for a ceasefire but the attacks have only escalated as Israel masses tanks and soldiers at Gaza’s borders.

Israel widened its range of Gaza bombing targets Saturday to include civilian institutions with sus-

pected Hamas ties. One strike hit a centre for the disabled, killing two patients and wounding four people. In a second attack, an Israeli warplane flattened the home of Gaza police chief Taysir al-Batsh and damaged a nearby mosque as evening prayers ended, killing at least 18 people. Fifty were wounded, including al-Batsh himself.

Harper urged the Palestinian government to disarm Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups operating in Gaza.

But despite forming a government with Hamas’ backing last month, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ influence in Gaza is minimal.

In the West Bank city of Ramallah, Abbas called on U.N. Secretary-General Bank Ki-moon to provide “international protection� for the Palestinian people. “The situation has become unbearable — hundreds of martyrs and thousands of wounded and huge destruction,� Abbas said.

Early Sunday, Israeli troops launched a brief raid into northern Gaza to destroy what the military described as a rocketlaunching site.

The military said the incursion left four soldiers slightly wounded.

Northern Gaza is home to at least 100,000 people.

Video shows Canadian who died fighting in Syria

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A posthumous video that appears to show a Canadian who died fighting in Syria is not uncommon — nearly every Western terrorist recruit has made one, an expert said.

The video, released Friday, purportedly shows a man who media reports identified earlier this year as Andre Poulin of Timmins, Ont. The CBC reported he converted to Islam and changed his name to Abu Muslim.

He reportedly died during fighting in Syria last August. On the video the man urges people to contribute to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the group that has occupied territory in Iraq and Syria.

Steven Emerson of the Washington D.C.-based Investigative Project on Terrorism said Western recruits are often made to do such videos as an initiation. “Before they actually participate in hostilities, one of the recruitment requirements is to make a video — sort of your last will and testament — for posterity, which are then posted online should they die in battle,� he said.

The video was posted online by an American organization that tracks extremist groups, the Marylandbased SITE intelligence group. It is yet unclear when the video was taken.

Calgary police finish looking for evidence in missing couple’s home

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Police in Calgary say they’ve made a last sweep of the home owned by a couple who have been missing along with their five-year-old grandson since last month.

Police say they have completed their search for evidence in the home of Alvin and Kathy Liknes.

The couple and their five-year-old grandson Nathan O’Brien disappeared on June 29 and police have said there is evidence a violent incident occurred in the home.

Police say they’re continuing to search a northwest Calgary landfill and a rural property and some of its surrounding lands near Airdrie, north of Calgary.

Police have no suspects but have designated a resident of the rural property, Douglas Garland, a person of interest.

Fire crews from Ontario arriving to help in Kamloops KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Twenty-one support staff from Ontario are expected to arrive in Kamloops today to help fight fires across British Columbia.

There are 55 fires burning across the province, with three of them expected to take days to put out.

Bus crash closes Cape Breton highway NEILS HARBOUR, N.S. — Nova Scotia RCMP have closed a section of the Cabot Trail after a bus carrying 20 passengers crashed on a Cape Breton highway.

The Mounties said emergency crews airlifted one person from the scene with serious injuries after a tour bus lost control and tipped onto its side into a ditch shortly before 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Another nine people suffered what are described as moderate injuries.

The single-vehicle crash occurred about three kilometres south of Neil’s Harbour.

Police said they have not yet confirmed what caused the bus driver to lose control.

The Mounties said public traffic is not being allowed onto the Cabot Trail.

Christine Coulombe, a spokeswoman for Quebec provincial police, says the 26-year-old man was interrogated by detectives Saturday night.

Coulombe says he could face charges including arson with disregard for human life.

The police officer would not comment on the details of the case but says clues found at the scene led investigators to believe the fire was deliberately set.

The man was stopped by Granby police two hours after the fire, which required 100 patients to leave their rooms.

No one was injured in the incident.

Denis Dube, a hospital spokesman, said six of the patients — including a pregnant woman — were transferred to other hospitals in the area because they needed special care.

The others were relocated on different floors of the hospital once it was determined it was safe.

Dube said there was a strong smell of smoke when the evacuation was ordered.

He said the situation had returned to normal Saturday evening and patients had been readmitted to their original rooms.

VANCOUVER — Environment Canada is urging people to drink lots of water because a provincewide heat wave is expected to break records in the south coast of British Columbia this weekend.

David Wray, a meteorologist with the agency, says temperatures in the southern half of the province appear to be 10 to 11 C above normal for the time of year.

Wray says it is 8 to 10 C above normal for the northern half of B.C. where temperatures will likely break records next week.

Temperatures are averaging at 30 C provincewide.

Wray says it is important to wear sunscreen this weekend because it will only take about 15 minutes for skin to get burned. He says children or pets should not be left in cars.

away train loaded with volatile fuel oil jumped the tracks and exploded.

The government says it heard the complaints of those affected by the disaster and wanted to bring some balance to the treatment of their cases.

Business owners had complained they weren’t getting help fast enough.

Moreau says there will be meetings this week with 37 business owners and that the compensation is available now.

There will be incentives offered to owners who want to rebuild their businesses in Lac-Megantic.

Moreau says if they wish to leave the area, they will be compensated for their sites based on fair market value.

Quilter powers way to top prize

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The flowers, leaves and dragonflies that fill Mary Vanson’s garden regularly make their way onto her clothing.

Vanson’s latest floral creation, a delicately quilted and embroidered vest called Flower Power, won the top prize for excellence in original wearable art in the Canadian Quilters’ Association juried show in St. Catharine’s, Ont. This was a wonderful surprise for the accomplished Red Deer quiltmaker.

Although Vanson regularly wins prizes in local quilt shows, she had never before entered the national competition.

In fact, the 75-year-old said she didn’t even know about the event until other quilters saw this vest and persuaded her to enter it.

While talented people from across Canada submitted works to the St. Catharine’s show, both of the pieces Vanson entered were accepted — including a lap quilt she designed with an underwater theme, featuring mermaid, fish and seaweed.

She admitted the ocean scene was her favourite of the two works.

But it was her vest, with its subtle green shades, hand-embroidered insects and free-style, machinestitched flowers and foliage, that came out on top in

Mary Vanson dons the vest that won first place in the original wearable art category at the Canadian Quilters’ Association National Juried Show 2014. its category. Vanson won a sewing machine and sewing table.

“I don’t follow anyone’s patterns. It’s strictly my original design,” said the quilter who came up with the idea from what she observed in her own yard and from a trip taken south of the border.

“I didn’t do much planning, my (quilted) garden just grew and grew!”

Nature is a reoccurring theme in Vanson’s work, as she’s always enjoyed and found comfort in the outdoors.

She recalled her dismay at returning from the Ontario show to find her basement flooded with a halfmetre of water and watermarks on family heirlooms.

In the midst of the stressful mess that entailed stripping everything out of her basement, she saw a butterfly outside her front door.

It fluttered around her for a while, then made a reappearance outside her living room window. “After seeing that, I kind of thought, things are going to be OK . . . ” she said.

Vanson grew up in the Markerville area to parents of Norwegian and English descent. For as long as she could remember, the women in her family kept their hands busy with knitting, sewing and embroidery.

“My mom, sisters and aunts made clothes and knit sweaters. They were always mending or doing handiwork,” she recalled.

As a tribute to their skills and talents, Vanson made one of her most personal and impressive quilts.

Its three panels feature her maternal and paternal grandmothers and her mother engrossed in various projects.

All three detailed scenes were inspired by family photos, so the wall hanging changes from black, white and grey on the left to marvellous colours by the time it gets to her mother’s depiction on the right.

Vanson, who has two grown sons, grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, often takes her designs from photographs.

A series of smaller wall quilts feature her and her husband having fun at various vacation spots.

She also quilts using Norwegian patterns, and even quilted a footstool in her living room to match the leaf patterns in a store-bought armchair.

But her creativity doesn’t stop at needlecraft.

Vanson has made inlaid bowls out of burled wood, and carved faces out of wooden buoys. She knits, has created three-dimensional doll-like Norwegian gnomes, called Tomtin, and embellished wooden eggs and boxes with Norwegian rosemaling designs.

“I like detail, and if I see something, I like to decorate it,” she said. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Snitch line has leads CALLS FLOODING INTO SNITCH LINE DESIGNED TO CATCH OFFSHORE TAX EVADERS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Canada Revenue Agency has 80 new leads on taxpayers who may be hiding money offshore after getting hundreds of calls on its new snitch line.

The flush of information has even the agency’s harshest critics acknowledging the initial success of the hotline, established Jan. 15 to help ferret out billions of dollars stashed overseas.

The so-called OTIP line — for Offshore Tax Informant Program — was promised in the March 2013 budget but took 10 months to set up.

As of May 31, more than 800 people rang the number, drawn by a cash reward system that gives the tipster up to 15 per cent of the amount in taxes that the agency eventually collects.

Only 251 of those calls were actual informants, and only 100 went to the next required step, filing a written submission identifying themselves and providing detailed information on the alleged overseas tax evasion.

The agency closed 20 of those written files as dead ends, but is pursuing the remainder.

Details of the program’s first few months were obtained under the Access to Information Act, supplemented by information provided directly by the Canada Revenue Agency.

“I’ve been surprised, pleasantly surprised,” said Jonathan Garbutt, a Toronto tax lawyer who has been a vocal critic of the way the program was established.

Red Deerians line up for burgers and hot dogs at the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce’s barbecue, celebrating the organization’s 120th anniversary. The barbecue was hosted on the south side of the CPR bridge.

Chamber of Commerce marks 120 years of service NOW ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE CHAMBERS IN CANADA

BY MYLES FISH ADVOCATE STAFF Sure, the CPR pedestrian bridge, opened in 1909 as a rail conduit, is old.

But the grand span has got nothing on the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce.

On Friday, the local business advocacy organization held a celebratory barbecue on the bridge to mark year 120 of being in Red Deer.

The group that today boasts some 900 members started in 1894 with nine.

Those young business people who had come to the fledging townsite bordering the south bank of the Red Deer River gathered at the offices of the Red Deer Review newspaper on St. Patrick’s Day 1894 to establish the Red Deer Board of Trade.

A forerunner to the Chamber, the Board of Trade’s early projects centred around incorporating little Red Deer as a village and ensuring decent roads led to and from the community. Members also focused on luring new industry, securing crucial services and getting Sylvan and Pine lakes stocked with “useful” fish.

In the early 1900s, with membership on the board restricted to men 21 and older who were of good moral character, it attempted to have Red Deer named the provincial capital and printed flattering promotional material depicting high-rise office towers and street cars in the downtown along with steamboats on the Red Deer River.

There were rough economic and organizational times before and after the board became the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce in 1953, but the organization grew significantly with the city in the 1970s and 80s.

Today, it is one of the most active chambers in the

whole country in terms of policy development and advocacy.

For Dom Mancuso, a past president of the Red Deer cadre and current chair of the Alberta Chambers of Commerce, what makes Red Deer’s body unique is its advocacy work on behalf of the agricultural community.

In 2003, the Chamber submitted a policy resolution calling for an end to the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly on grain sales and marketing. It continued to push its position and met with the federal agriculture minister up until 2011, when legislation ended the policy.

“We’ve got a very strong agricultural policy community at the chamber and that’s kind of unique to us,” said Mancuso, “I guess being smaller you kind of know who your neighbours are, as corny as that sounds.”

While acknowledging that the chamber could always use more farmers as actual members, Mancuso said the organization’s nature is to be grassroots and the Chamber’s employees make it a point to network and understand the issues of others.

One of those employees is executive director Tim Creedon. In the position since 2008, he has seen the Chamber develop or strengthen partnerships with the city, the county, and Red Deer College — in forming Central Alberta: Access Prosperity — and Westerner Park, which is a partner in the Chamber’s Agri-Trade Equipment Expo.

“That level of involvement and those partnerships make us completely unique across the province,” said Creedon. He said moving forward the Chamber is working on a rebranding process to refresh its presentation to membership and the city as a whole, the organization’s red deer logo merely one thing that will take on a new look in the near future. mfish@reddeeradvocate.com

Banks trying to catch up with smartphone applications There are ways to minimize

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Smartphones promise to be the next big thing in consumer banking, holding the promise of everything from fewer trips to the local bank branch or ATM to the convenience of tap-and-go payments at retail outlets.

But first, a number of hurdles still need to be overcome.

Jim Miller, J.D. Power’s senior director of the banking practice for North America, says Canadian banks have been slightly slower than their U.S. counterparts in adopting popular features in their smartphone apps, such as depositing cheques with their phones, but they are gaining ground.

“I have to believe that Canada’s going to catch up fairly soon. I think the U.S. got out ahead of the curve a little bit earlier,” Miller said from Boston.

Tangerine, the former ING Direct Canada operations, and B.C. credit union Vancity, recently added the ability to deposit cheques by taking a picture of them using a smartphone’s camera.

Miller, and others, expect there will be an even bigger jump in usage if the banks, merchants and telecom companies can figure out a better way for customers to make purchases with their smartphones by tapping a retail terminal at the counter.

However, the banks have been cautious because they don’t want to see smartphones to get between them and their customers.

“I think that’s the way it has to go a some point, but it’s a little bit of chicken-and-egg because you need enough merchants to accept it so that you can stop carrying your regular credit card, your physical credit card, and just have your mobile phone take care of it all,” Miller said.

Windsor Holden of Juniper Research says the most common form to tap-and-pay mobile technology puts security on a card on the device, which is under the carrier’s control.

But he thinks several of the Canadian banks are working on a different method — host card emulation or HCE — that would put transaction security into a “cloud” computing service that they would control.

the risk of identity theft Identity theft is a very real and present danger.

In the past 12 months, some seven million Canadians became victims of identity theft, with an average direct cost per victim of US$372, according to Internet/computer security company Norton.

Identity theft is the result of an unconsented or unknown use of an individual’s personal information. It often occurs in conjunction with crimes such as fraud, forgery or theft. Likely targets for an identity thief can include a social insurance number (SIN), driver’s licence number, credit cards, debit cards, cheques, phone cards, passwords and pin numbers.

In general, identity thieves look for the opportunity to make a transaction and obtain cash, merchandise or services before their identity can be TALBOT found or the true information owner can be notified.

BOGGS Although it may sound simple, the main way of combatting identity theft is to use caution when making any purchase or when otherwise safeguarding your personal information.

Insurance company Marsh offers some tips on how to reduce the threat and risks of identity theft, including obtaining insurance to cover some of the costs that can result from becoming a victim.

Identity theft is a generally serious and often costly crime. Insurance for this risk is sometimes included in homeowner insurance policies from certain insurers, but if not, an endorsement for identity theft coverage is usually available at a small additional cost.

Identity theft insurance is also generally available through insurers, their insurance brokers, banks and credit card companies. Typical identity theft coverage includes costs related to credit reports, notarizing documents, certified mail, telephone and faxes, as well as lost wages due to time taken off work to resolve identity theft issues (up to policy limits), loan

reapplication fees, specified legal fees and costs to replace stolen government-issued identifications.

Some institutions will offer credit-monitoring services as a way of helping to detect identity fraud in a timely manner. This is a separate service from identity theft insurance.

As with all insurance, it’s important to read your policy documentation carefully to understand the exact coverage provided or call your insurance broker for more information.

In general, do not provide personal information to anyone, whether in person, over the phone, or on the Internet — unless you are certain of their identity.

“Phishing” scams are now commonplace and usually involve an individual posing as a legitimate business/government representative in hopes of stealing your personal information or even gaining control of your computer.

Question the need for personal information specifically as it relates to your SIN. Only a select number of people need to know your SIN, including your employer, your financial institution, and various government departments. Consult the Service Canada website for a complete listing.

Avoid carrying your SIN card if you don’t need it.

Leave it in a secure place instead. Be careful that your SIN is not used as the account number for other purposes.

Make sure there is a lock on your mailbox if you still have door-to-door delivery. By stealing your mail, an identity thief can access bank, credit card, and tax information, and possibly even write cheques in your name.

Ensure any sensitive information is shredded, and not recycled or put in the trash.

Pay careful attention whenever providing your credit or debit card for payment. “Skimming” is a process whereby your card information may be stolen. Watch to see that your card is only swiped for the purpose of paying for a transaction.

Secure computers and personal documents in your home. Be aware that anyone with access to your home can potentially steal your personal information.

MEASURES: Protect yourself

SNITCH: Rewards “I’m not ... as pessimistic as I was,” he said in an interview, adding that at least two of the tipsters have become his clients, and other potential offshore whistleblowers are consulting him.

The program is modelled on a U.S. counterpart that is much more generous, offering rewards as high as 30 per cent, for example.

The Internal Revenue Service paid out US$104 million to one snitch after collecting US$5 billion in back taxes from Swiss banks.

The Canadian program pays between five and 15 per cent only if the CRA successfully collects more than $100,000 in taxes owed, and the tipster must pay income tax on the reward.

Some classes of informants are excluded, including most public servants or criminals.

The snitch must also reveal his or her identity, unlike another snitch line at the CRA, which is focused on domestic tax fraud and pays no rewards.

Sen. Percy Downe, long a critic of the agency’s efforts to collect on money hidden offshore, said he welcomes the initiative.

BRIEFS Bobcat Co. to celebrate production of 1 millionth skid-steer loader

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GWINNER, N.D. — Bobcat Co. on Saturday marked its 1 millionth skidsteer loader to come off the assembly line.

The West Fargo-based company celebrated the event Saturday in Gwinner with a 5K run, factory tours and a party at the city park.

The three-wheel, self-propelled loader was originally invented to ease manure-removal chores on area turkey farms.

Sen. John Hoeven, R-North Dakota, said the Gwinner community, Bobcat’s employees and the state’s effort to build a pro-growth business climate have enabled the company to thrive.

“Today’s celebration of the one millionth Bobcat loader is a real milestone, and a symbol of the company’s growth and dynamism,” Hoeven said at the ceremony.

Gwinner-based Melroe Manufacturing Co., which later became Bobcat, bought the rights to the loader in 1958.

It’s the state’s largest manufacturing company, with more than 2,000 employees across Bobcat’s West Fargo headquarters and production facilities in Fargo, Gwinner and Wahpeton.

Bobcat manufactures other light construction equipment.

North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple said the company is a major employer and a valued member of the state’s thriving manufacturing sector.

Truckers at ports agree to cooling-off period LOS ANGELES — Truck drivers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach agreed Saturday to a cooling-off period following five days of striking that briefly shut the massive ports.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said he requested the cooling-off period, and the truckers agreed Saturday to pull down pickets while the city’s harbour commission investigates their allegations of poor working conditions and unfair labour practices.

“The city will facilitate a dialogue among the parties in the weeks ahead,” he said in a statement.

The drivers agreed to resume work Monday after three trucking companies agreed to accept all drivers back

Clouds covers Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein. The Canada Revenue Agency has 80 new leads on taxpayers who may be hiding money offshore after getting hundreds of calls on its new snitch line.

“I’m glad it’s finally up and running,” he said in an interview from Charlottetown.

But the reward level should match the American program, he said, and massive job cuts at the CRA raise doubts about whether it can properly pursue the leads.

“The department fails to put the resources into fighting overseas tax evasion and this is another example of it, rather than doing 30 per cent (rewards) they’re doing 15 per cent.”

Garbutt also praised the American system, which generally requires tipsters to have legal counsel to help the IRS winnow out the soft leads. “They only see wheat, they don’t see chaff,” he said.

Garbutt also raised questions about diminishing resources at the agency, which has shed more than 2,500 jobs in recent years.

“They don’t seem to be overwhelmed yet, but I think they could probably get there pretty quick.”

The snitch program, with an annual budget of about $700,000, has not paid out any rewards to date.

“It may take several years from the date of entering into a contract with the CRA until the additional federal tax is assessed,” said agency spokesman Philippe Brideau.

“The CRA believes this is a good start to the program. ... The early call to work without retaliation and without being forced to sign away all future rights in new truck leases, said Barb Maynard, a spokeswoman for a campaign to organize truckers.

On Monday, 120 drivers began striking against Green Fleet Systems, Total Transportation Services Inc. and Pacific 9 Transportation Inc. They said the companies have prevented them from unionizing and improperly classified them as contractors — rather than full-time employees — to minimize wages and benefits.

They say that their paychecks often register below minimum wage once the cost of renting and maintaining a truck is factored in, and they have filed lawsuits and complaints with state and federal labour agencies to change their status.

The companies counter that pay is good and those picketing do not represent the majority of drivers.

Cargo moved normally, but on Tuesday nearly 1,000 dockworkers at four of the ports’ 14 terminals left their posts in solidarity with the truckers.

The ports are the primary West Coast gateway for hundreds of billions of dollars of annual trade with Asia.

Trump Plaza casino expected to shut down ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Atlantic City’s crumbling casino market disintegrated even further Saturday as the owners of the Trump Plaza casino said they expect to shut down in midSeptember.

Trump Entertainment Resorts told The Associated Press that no final decision has been made on the Boardwalk casino. But the company said it expects the casino to close its doors Sept. 16.

Notices warning employees of the expected closing will go out to the casino’s 1,000-plus employees Monday.

If Trump Plaza closes, Atlantic City could lose a third of its casinos and a quarter of its casino workforce in less than nine months. The Atlantic Club closed in January, the Showboat is closing next month and Revel might do likewise if a buyer can’t be found in bankruptcy court.

The head of Atlantic City’s main casino workers’ union demanded state lawmakers help head off what he called a “pending catastrophe” that will affect the state’s tourism industry and tax collections.

Trump Entertainment Resorts told the AP that its managers and board of directors “have been reviewing alternatives for the property. Although this review has not been completed and no final decision has been made, the company expects that it will terminate the operations of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino on or shortly after September 16, 2014.”

“I think that if the banks do get to the point where they can integrate contactless payments into their banking applications, which I think they will go for using HCE, that’s when you’ll see transactional levels really ramping up.”

Juniper Research, a London-based company that monitors mobile commerce developments, estimates about 800 million people around the world used a smartphone to do banking this year and that is expected to jump to 1.75 billion by 2019.

Juniper also forecasts that within that time, mobile banking will overtake online banking, the preferred method for most consumers.

Holden says that four years ago when Juniper started looking at the

mobile banking apps, they were still uncommon in Canada.

“Now virtually every major bank has a fairly wide portfolio of ways of reaching the consumer via mobile channel — be that apps, be that basic texts,” Holden said in an interview from London, where Juniper has its headquarters.

“You’ve got a huge proportion of the traffic migrating from desktop to tablet.

“You’ve got people using mobile — if not necessarily as a primary transactional channel at the moment, certainly a channel for regular communication with the banks.”

Juniper’s findings are supported by other recent data, including a survey done in May and June for the Canadian Bankers Association.

Preliminary figures from a 2014 survey supplied to The Canadian Press found that web-enabled mobile devices were the primary method of banking for nine per cent of those surveyed — compared with five per cent in its 2012 biannual survey.

That put mobile banking close to branch visits (13 per cent), and ahead of telephone banking (four per cent).

Online banking was by far the most common form, at 55 per cent, followed by automatic teller machines at 18 per cent.

A source with direct knowledge of the situation who was not authorized to speak to the media told the AP that the company has hired a search firm to solicit buyers for Trump Plaza, an effort that remains ongoing. So far, no buyer has emerged.

The company did not indicate what might become of the building after it is closed.

Bob McDevitt, president of local 54 of the Unite-HERE union, said 7,000 casino workers — or about one in four — have been warned their jobs could disappear within 60 days.

“While this is a personal tragedy for every family involved, it is also a crisis for the state,” he said.

“We expect Trenton to react with more than just sympathetic sound bites; we demand action equal to the magnitude of this pending catastro-

phe.” Trump Plaza, which cost $210 million to build, opened in May 1984 as one of Donald Trump’s pet projects.

The real estate mogul has since limited his dealings in Atlantic City to a 10 per cent stake in Trump Entertainment Resorts and does not control its day-to-day operations.

The news is the latest in a cascade of setbacks for Atlantic City’s gambling market, which until just a few years ago was the second-largest in the nation after Nevada; Pennsylvania has now taken over that spot.

Analysts have long said that the casino market here, and in the Northeastern United States, has been oversaturated, and that some casinos need to close to ensure the survival of others. On Jan. 1, Atlantic City had 12 casinos. By the end of September, it could have eight.

The Strain: Vampires who mean business

BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS WERVICES FX’s new creep-out drama The Strain, which premiered Sunday night, reclaims vampirism from prissy romantics and lovelorn teens by creatively upending old ideas of the immortal dead.

Someone had to.

In recent years we got so hung up on sexy vampires who ached to assimilate into society that we forgot how to make them undesirable and frightening.

In The Strain, vampirism (or something like it) spreads like a virus, infiltrating our bodies through ramen-noodle-size worms.

At the same time, the show honors a traditionalist, Nosferatu-like notion of a moneyed Eastern European bloodsucker (he arrives in an ornate box filled with his native dirt and is too hideous for the camera to fully behold at this point).

But to that, The Strain folds in a riff of sorts on zombie-style pandemics with a dash of parasitic gestation to enliven the show’s goriest scenes.

The better parts of The Strain will unsettle viewers with this new species of monster, a threat that spreads in a novel way that isn’t easily explained.

That’s also part of the show’s initial stumble — in establishing characters caught up in a contagion crisis, the creators and writers are also apparently still trying to figure out how a TV series works in 42-minute increments.

The first couple of episodes seem as if they’ve been assembled from a kit that’s missing a few nuts and bolts; by the third and fourth episodes, however, a viewer gets a much better sense of The Strain’s style and bite.

Created by Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) and Carlton Cuse (Lost) and based on a trilogy of novels by del Toro and Chuck Hogan, The Strain begins on an international flight that lands at JFK airport in New York.

From the outside, there are no signs of life on board; all the plane’s window shades are drawn.

Authorities send in a “canary team” from the Centers for Disease Control to suit up and see what’s inside.

The passengers and crew are all dead in their seats — peacefully, it seems.

While officials scramble to keep a lid on the details, lead investigator Eph Goodweather (Corey Stoll from House of Cards) and his colleague Nora Martinez (Mia Maestro) discover that not everyone is completely dead.

There are four survivors, including the pilot, a goth rock star, a tenacious attorney and a little girl; soon enough, they are not quite themselves.

The Strain is notably different in tone and execution from the survivalist despair of AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” but it shares a similar intent to keep the thrills coming.

There’s something refreshingly old-fashioned about The Strain when viewed merely as a lean horror show, free of metaphor or derivative camp or hidden meanings.

Any saga about the spread of a disease necessarily involves multitudes; I’ve seen worse and better attempts to launch a TV series with this many people caught up in so many tangents.

Other stories involve an ex-con and gang member (Miguel Gomez) trying to make a better life in Spanish Harlem; a compromised CDC employee (Sean Astin); and, rather quickly, each vampire seems to come with his or her own story, too, as does an elderly pawn shop owner (Game of Thrones’ David Bradley) who has tussled with these creatures before.

Lizzy Caplan as Virginia Johnson and Michael Sheen as Dr. William Masters in Showtime’s Masters of Sex, which starts its second season Sunday. It is intelligent, witty, quick-paced and surprising; it is tragic without being emotionally devastating, the author says.

Masters of Sex returns for another satisfying round

BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES If there is such a thing as critical tumescence, then that’s what I have for Showtime’s Masters of Sex. Should I feel embarrassed? Not at all.

Masters of Sex (which returned Sunday night) is a fine example of why some of us are still happy to spend a little more on our cable bill. It treats viewers like grown-ups — grown-ups who are curious about sex of all forms.

It is intelligent, witty, quick-paced and surprising; it is tragic without being emotionally devastating.

Based on the life stories of noted sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson (played by Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan), the show is an always satisfying exploration of American culture on the verge of loosening its grip.

Among its premium-channel peers, Masters of Sex is the rare drama that honors completely linear movement.

Its hours are full.

It doesn’t obfuscate key details or use quick-edit cuts as a tease. It doesn’t raise existential crises and mysteries that it then refuses to answer.

Its characters don’t speak in riddles; they certainly have their sullen silences, but these moments tend to speak volumes rather than send us into sessions of post-show analysis.

Though the writing and acting are uniformly excellent, the themes can sometimes be too blunt, always reduced to this: What a bunch of uptight jerks and jerkettes we used to be when it came to the continuum of human sexual response, burdening ourselves with expectations that kept things in cruel (usually heteronormative, always sexist)

Hank Stuever writes for the Washington Post

Something Special is Always Cooking

order.

At times, Masters of Sex seems intent on demolishing any notion of the 1950s as the good ol’ days. But because it has been conceived and produced in the context of our contentious, present-day culture wars, it seems to also be sending signals to viewers that we are maybe only halfway there in becoming the enlightened society we imagine ourselves to be.

For example, in one upcoming story line, Masters finds himself at odds with the angry father of a baby born with ambiguous genitalia.

Masters also has to fight the instinctive response of his fellow doctors, who rush to “fix” the infant with the easiest surgical solution rather than the more complicated treatment that would spare the child a lifetime of identity grief.

Whether the real-life Masters was as attuned to the issues that would preoccupy us in 2014 (where our understanding of gender identity is undergoing a radical shift of its own), Masters of Sex is nevertheless demonstrating a topical relevance in either era.

It doesn’t set out to be an educational show, but, like all good dramas, you come away feeling like you’ve learned a little something about the past and the present.

And it’s worth noting that even though the period details in Masters of Sex are as on-point and lusciously rendered as those on Mad Men, it doesn’t waste effort fetishizing its own look. It’s a far more natural, less self-aware trip back in time.

Masters is a portrait of a man ruled by contradictions and compartmentalizing, which Sheen plays to an understated perfection.

Daughter feels mother is self-centred Dear Annie: My husband and I have three children, two of whom recently graduated college.

We knew the dates of the graduations five months in advance, and we told my mother, the only grandparent they have.

We told her how much we wanted her to MITCHELL attend and cel& SUGAR ebrate the accomplishments of her two oldest grandchildren.

She said she couldn’t attend our son’s because she had a board meeting she “simply could not miss,” and the date for our daughter’s graduation conflicted with her picking up her new Mercedes at the dealership.

I am beyond hurt that my mother takes such little interest in any of my children.

They are awesome kids and are always polite and well mannered around her.

What should I say to her? (I know

ANNIE ANNIE

what I would like to say, but I won’t.)

Mom’s friends are always telling me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful mother when it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Mom is extremely self-centered and is happy to purchase a new piece of expensive jewelry before spending any quality time with her grandchildren.

She treats my siblings’ children the same way, with the exception of one sister whose children she positively spoils.

She attends those children’s sporting events, school activities and every party she is invited to.

I am a loving and caring daughter and want to have my mother in my life, but frankly, I don’t believe it’s healthy anymore to keep being hurt.

I thought about telling Mom how I feel in a letter, but I doubt she would see the problem.

How do I explain to my kids that it’s not them?

How do I handle Mom’s lack of interest?—At a Loss for Words Dear At a Loss: Your mother sounds narcissistic.

If you can accept her as she is, selfish and self-absorbed, you can have a limited relationship.

There’s no point inviting her to your children’s events, because you will on-

ly be hurt by her response.

Your children are old enough to understand that Grandma has personality issues that prevent her from appreciating them, and it is not anything they can change.

Don’t expect more than she is capable of giving, and you will be able to handle her with less frustration and sadness.

We hope you have friends who can fill the gap.

Dear Annie: I’d like to mention something that your senior readers might not be aware of.

When my husband (a state employee) passed away, I was given the option of continuing his state health care policy.

It is an excellent policy and very reasonable.

Not long ago, I was looking through the policy information and came across the fact that should I remarry, I would lose the coverage.

I am sure there are others out there who have continued with their spouse’s insurance and might not be aware of this clause.

As boring as it might be, I heartily suggest sitting down with one’s health insurance policy to become familiar with all of the ins and outs.

I’m pretty sure I would not take a chance on remarriage at this stage of my life. — Covered in Massachusetts Dear Covered: Too often, people do not check such things and don’t realize that there are hidden clauses and other surprises that merit some attention.

We’re certain everyone will take a closer look thanks to your warning.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Hope for the Helpless,” whose husband checks out every attractive woman.

Here’s a different take on this issue.

As a new bride, I noticed my husband’s wandering eye at the beach.

There were lots of pretty young women in skimpy bathing suits.

As we looked around, I asked my husband, “Did you see the purple bikini over there?”

He later told me it took all the fun out of it when I pointed out the pretty women. — K. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

New Mexico driver finds slithering surprise after man pops hood of her stalled pickup truck SANTA FE, N.M. — When a woman’s pickup stalled on a street in Santa Fe, New Mexico, local chef Jackson Ault stopped to lend a hand.

Ault and the driver both ended up with a surprise Thursday when Ault popped the hood and found a brown and yellow python slithering across the engine block.

A police lieutenant responded to a call for help. He retrieved the 20-pound snake.

The python was taken to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, where spokes-

man Ben Swan says the reptile has minor injuries but otherwise is in good shape.

Police say the snake likely crawled into the pickup at the motorist’s home several blocks from where the vehicle stalled.

GOETZE GOLDEN FOR GERMANY CLUTCH GOAL IN EXTRA TIME LIFTS GERMANY OVER ARGENTINA IN WORLD CUP FINAL

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — With two quick and sublimely deft touches, Mario Goetze ended Germany’s 24-year wait for another World Cup title.

Goetze scored the winning goal in extra time to give Germany a 1-0 victory over Argentina on Sunday in a tight and tense World Cup final that came down to a few moments of individual skill.

Goetze, who wasn’t born when West Germany beat Argentina in the 1990 final, controlled a cross with his chest in the 113th minute and in one fluid motion volleyed the ball past goalkeeper Sergio Romero and inside the far post from five yards out.

It was a goal that gave Germany its fourth World Cup title in its eighth final, and left Argentina star Lionel Messi still walking in the shadow of his compatriot Diego Maradona, who led his country to the 1986 title.

Goetze went on as a substitute for Miroslav Klose toward the end of regulation time and the 22-year-old midfielder’s fresh legs made the difference.

Andre Schuerrle broke down the left flank, sending his cross into the area, and the Bayern Munich player did the rest with a clinical finish. The goal echoed that of Andres Iniesta’s four years ago, when the midfielder scored in similar fashion but from the other side of the area to give Spain a 1-0 extra time win over the Netherlands.

“It’s incredible. The team did it beautifully,” said Manuel Neuer, who was voted the tournament’s best goalkeeper. “At some point we’ll stop celebrating but we’ll still wake up with a smile.”

For Germany, the win ends a string of near misses since winning its last major title at the 1996 European Championship. The team lost the 2002 World Cup final to Brazil and lost in the semifinals in both 2006 and 2010.

Argentina had not been back in the final since that 1990 loss, and has now been beaten by Germany in the last three World Cups.

“This was our chance, and we felt that way. We couldn’t do it. We have to lift our head and suffer the pain,” Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano said. “Obviously, the pain is tremendous. We wanted the cup for Argen-

tina.”

It is Germany’s first World Cup title as a unified nation, having won as West Germany in 1954, 1974 and 1990. It was also the third World Cup final between these countries and had been billed as a matchup between the perfect team and the perfect individual, pitting Germany’s machine-like unit against the brilliance of Messi, the four-time world player of the year.

But in the biggest game of his career, Messi came up short.

He had one good chance to score when he was sent free in the area just after the halftime break, but sent his shot wide of the far post. It was a difficult angle, but still the type of chance he so often converts for Barcelona.

Messi threatened intermittently throughout the match, but was effectively neutralized for long stretches.

When he did try to break forward with one of his quick dribbles, he was surrounded by the German defence.

His free kick in the 120th minute went well high.

When the final whistle blew, Germany players jumped on top of each other in a pile in the middle of the pitch, while Messi walked alone with

Eagle on 18 clinches title FIRST EAGLE OF THE YEAR FOR MARTIN

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTHPORT, England — Mo Martin knew she hit her 3-wood exactly how she wanted on the 18th hole at Royal Birkdale.

With the ball slightly below her feet, just under 240 yards away and a strong wind at her back, she let it rip and watched the ball track toward the flag.

Martin thought it was short. Then she thought it might be too long. Moments later, she realized just how good it was.

“I could hear it hit the pin from the fairway,” Martin said. “That was a pretty fun feeling.”

The ball rolled into the centre of the flagstick and settled 6 feet away for an eagle, and when no one could catch her, the 31-year-old American became a major champion Sunday at the Ricoh Women’s British Open.

“I think I still need to be pinched,” Martin said after closing with an even-par 72 for a one-shot victory over Shanshan Feng of China and Suzann Pettersen of Norway.

It was Martin’s first eagle of the year — one of the shortest hitters in the game, she doesn’t get many opportunities. She had not won on the LPGA Tour in 63 previous tries. And on a wind-swept Sunday when no one broke par, she was never closer than two shots of the leaders the entire final round.

The best shot of her life changed everything.

“An absolutely perfect 3-wood,” she said. “When it was in the air, I said, ’Sit.’ And then I said, ’Stop.’

And then when it was going toward the hole, I said, ’OK, I don’t have anything more to say to that ball.’

I actually heard it hit the pin. It’s definitely one to remember.”

She turned and did a little jig in the fairway.

An hour later, it turned out to be the winning shot when Feng and Inbee Park of South Korea couldn’t stay under par.

Both needed one birdie over the two par-5 closing holes at Royal Birkdale. Feng missed birdie putts of 15 and 10 feet and shot 75. Park missed a 12-foot birdie putt on the 17th, and then put her tee shot in the right rough on the easy 18th hole and wound up with a bogey for a 77.

Martin, who finished at 1-under 287, was on the practice range preparing for a playoff that never happened when she hugged her caddie, Kyle Morrison.

“Is this real life?” she said.

his hands on his hips toward the centre circle.

Messi, who scored four goals in the group stage but none in the knockout rounds, then had to trudge alone up the stairs of the Maracana Stadium to accept the Golden Ball award for the tournament’s best player, shaking hands with German Chancellor Angela Merkel along the way.

Shortly afterward, the German team made its way up the stairs for captain Philipp Lahm to raise the hallowed 18-carat gold trophy as confetti rained down and fireworks exploded in the sky.

“It’s incredible how hard we worked and what a performance we produced,” Lahm said. “It’s an incredible feeling.”

Up until Goetze’s winning goal, the game was more notable for top-class defending than creative attacking, but both teams had their share of chances — especially in the first half.

Gonzalo Higuain was gifted a free chance when Toni Kroos’ back header landed at his feet and left him all alone with Neuer. However, he sent his shot woefully wide.

It seemed like a fairy tale for Martin. Growing up with modest means, her father built a cage in their driveway for her to practice hitting balls. She walked on at UCLA. She needed financial help to keep her dream alive, including the six years it took just to reach the LPGA Tour. Martin said she would keep trying if she woke up happy, felt she was still contributing something to women’s golf and could pay her bills.

And here she is — Mighty Mo, never happier.

When she returned from the range, players gathered around her cart to celebrate with a champagne shower.

“It’s still soaking in, along with champagne in my jacket,” Martin said. “This is just unbelievable. It’s literally a dream come true.”

TORONTO — Canadians turned out by the hundreds to watch Germany beat Argentina in the World Cup final on Sunday, with many braving either a scorching sun or heavy downpour.

Supporters gathered in public spaces across the country to cheer on their teams, watching Germany beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time to claim its fifth World Cup win.

In Toronto, hundreds of sweat-drenched fans gathered downtown near the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and watched tensely as the game went through a scoreless 90 minutes.

While many donned the striped jerseys of Argentina, Germany’s supporters seemed to be greater in number and a lot more vocal.

Chants of “Germany!” and “Deutschland!” filled the air and grew louder each time either goalkeeper blocked off a shot.

“If you’re German, you just cheer for every moment,” said Nicole Hauvisen, who has lived in Toronto for five years.

While Germany’s supporters — many with their faces painted and some shirtless — erupted into dance at the end of the match, Argentina’s supporters slinkered away silently, with some declining interviews.

One man who was cheering for Argentina, Rhys Wakeham, said he thought the game was done as soon as Germany put in its single goal with just seven minutes left in the game.

“It was like hopeless,” he said. “I though that was it. I though that was the end right there, when they scored... Germany’s defence was just too strong.”

In Montreal, several hundred people braved overcast skies for an outdoor party at Montreal’s Parc Jean Drapeau, which is on the same island where the Montreal Grand Prix is held.

Playoff needed for Montgomerie to take U.S. Senior Open

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EDMOND, Okla. — Colin Montgomerie is getting used to winning these big events.

The Scotsman defeated Gene Sauers in a playoff to claim the U.S. Senior Open title Sunday at Oak Tree National.

Montgomerie failed to win in 71 PGA Tour majors and four Champions Tour majors until May, when he won the Senior PGA Championship. Now, he has won two of his past three majors to become just the fifth golfer to win both the Senior PGA Championship and U.S. Senior Open in the same year.

The 51-year-old said he has become more patient with age.

“You have to play intelligent golf, and I think I’ve matured enough to realize that and play more within myself sometimes, including today — to play away from some pins so you don’t make bogies, and you realize that in major golf, pars are usually good enough, especially in the USGA events,” he said.

Montgomerie reached another milestone by winning his first professional playoff in nine tries. Most famously, he lost to Ernie Els at the 1994 U.S. Open and to Steve Elkington in sudden death at the 1995 PGA Championship.

“I’ve been close in these USGA championships a couple of times,” he said. “I’ve lost in a playoff and been one shot behind a couple of times, and you have to wait to (over age) 50 to finally win one.”

On the 18th hole of regulation, Montgomerie parred, then waited. Sauers’ second shot landed about 10 feet from the hole, giving him a chance to win

STORIES FROM PAGE B1

FIFA: Offside called on Agentina’s best chance Higuain thought he had scored in the 30th after Messi picked out Ezequiel Lavezzi with a great ball and he sent a cross in toward the Napoli striker. Higuain slotted his finish inside the far post and ran to the corner flag in celebration before realizing he had been called for offside.

Shortly afterward, Germany was forced to use a substitution as Christoph Kramer had to go off with a suspected concussion after colliding with Ezequiel Garay’s shoulder earlier in the game. Kramer had continued playing but looked visibly dizzy as he was led off the field. Kramer, who was a late inclusion in the lineup after Sami Khedira was injured during the warmup, was replaced by Schuerrle.

Germany’s best chance in regulation time came just before the halftime break when Benedikt Hoewedes hit the post with a header from a corner.

the tournament with a birdie. His putt lipped out, and he parred to force the playoff.

“I guess I just may have misread that putt the first time around, didn’t play enough break,” Sauers said. “Hit a good putt, broke right at the hole at the last second.”

Montgomerie led at the end of the first and second days of the Senior Open, but entered Sunday’s action four shots behind Sauers. He shot a 2-under 69 to force the playoff and now feels he is capable of playing just as well on the PGA Tour.

“My golf is as good as it was in the ’90s, when I was No. 2 in the world,” he said. “It really is. I can’t see any difference between that.”

Montgomerie and Sauers entered the playoff at 5 under. Montgomerie entered the third extra hole with a one-shot lead, then sank a putt on 18 to par the hole and claim the win.

It was the first playoff at a U.S. Senior Open since 2002, when Don Pooley beat Tom Watson in a five-hole playoff. This one was held in temperatures that exceeded 100 degrees. Sauers often used a towel to wipe his face and at times rolled it and placed it on the back of his neck. Montgomerie’s face was red from the sun, and he carried a towel to the interview podium while still sweating well after he made his final putt.

“For my wife and three kids to be here is fantastic, and I’m just sorry for them,” Montgomerie said. “It was very hot for them to walk around. They had to walk 21 holes today. Eighteen is enough.”

David Frost and Woody Austin, making his Champions Tour debut, tied for third at 1 under. Jeff Sluman, Vijay large crowd.

Welte, a Germany supporter, explained that his family were such big soccer fans that they took a break from camping during their trip to drive to Kamloops to watch Germany beat France in the quarter-finals.

“This is perfect for World Cup,” Welte said as he sat among the crowd in Edmonton. “You get a lot of people in public rooting for their country. It’s just awesome.”

Gene Sauers, right, shakes hands with Colin Montgomerie after Montgomerie defeated Sauers in a playoff at the U.S. Senior Open golf tournament at Oak Tree National in Edmond, Okla., Sunday.

Singh and Marco Dawson tied for fifth at even par.

Bernhard Langer, who was among the leaders for most of the tournament and entered the final day at 4 under, faltered on the back nine. He double bogeyed 16 and finished at 6 over for the day and 2 over for the tournament, tied for ninth.

Sauers’ performance was impressive, given his circumstances. He said a reaction to a wrongly prescribed medication several years ago caused

Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a disorder that burned the skin on his arms and legs from the inside out. He got out of the hospital in June 2011 and eventually returned to the course.

Sauers hadn’t finished higher than 15th in a Champions Tour event this year, and hadn’t won an event of any kind since the 2002 Air Canada Championship on the PGA Tour. He has never won a major on the Champions or PGA tours, but he was thankful to be close.

that streak at Royal Birkdale would have been Stacy Lewis, the defending champion, who also started only three shots behind. Lewis didn’t make a birdie until the 18th hole and closed with a 78. Wie missed the cut, and Thompson finished 15 shots out of the lead.

Martin had a three-shot lead going into the weekend, building her strat-

egy of keeping the ball in the fairway.

But she had a 77 in the third round, and that figured to be the end of her chances. After two bogeys in five holes to start the final round, she was solid the rest of the way. And then she was simply spectacular at the end.

“Safe to say it’s the best week of my life,” she said.

Don’t leave your dog alone!

MARTIN: Wie missed the cut It was a disappointment for Park, trying to become the seventh woman to capture four of the LPGA’s major. She had a two-shot lead at the turn until the high grass grabbed the bottom of her wedge on the 10th, sending her to a double bogey. She fell out of the lead by going long on the 14th for bogey, and never caught up.

“Made a lot of mistakes that I really didn’t need to make,” Park said. “Obviously the last hole drive was really disappointing.”

Pettersen finished birdie-birdie that allowed her to share second place, but not enough to atone for a pair of double bogeys earlier in the round.

Martin earned $474,575 — she had $599,760 in career money when she arrived in England.

Americans now have won the first three majors of the LPGA Tour season for the first time since 1999, with Martin following Lexi Thompson at the Kraft Nabisco Championship and Michelle Wie at the U.S. Women’s Open.

Late TD seals Lions win over ‘Riders HARRIS LEADS THE WAY WITH 203 TOTAL YARDS AND ONE TD

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — Andrew Harris gave the B.C. Lions exactly what they were looking for — a boost and a win.

Harris provided a spark Saturday night and the Lions defence pitched a second-half shutout in a 26-13 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium.

Harris racked up 203 total yards and scored one touchdown to lift the Lions (1-2), who had been playing with a listless offence the first two weeks of the season, to their first win. The Riders, meanwhile, have lost two straight and share the same record heading into their bye week.

“I think the confidence is building with our offensive line a and we were embarrassed last week (in Montreal) and so we really came back with a vengeance tonight,’’ said Harris. “We have to build off of this now and take this confidence and go forward with it.’’

The all-star running back racked up 145 total yards in the first half, including 94 yards along the ground. His 58-yard run for a touchdown late in the first quarter gave the Lions an 11-0 advantage and was the team’s lone major in the opening two quarters. Harris finished the night with 132 yards rushing and 65 receiving, both of which were team highs.

“This was a character win more than anything,’’ Harris said.

Quarterback Kevin Glenn, who had thrown six interceptions in his first two games with the Lions, played turnover-free football on Saturday. He completed 16 of 27 pass attempts for 170 yards and one touchdown.

Glenn’s 20-yard touchdown strike to Courtney Taylor midway through the fourth quarter gave the Lions a 26-13 lead and sent the majority of the 32,864 spectators scrambling for the exits.

“It’s hard to come in here and get a win,’’ Lions linebacker Solomon Elim-

It’s just a you against the world kind of feeling and it makes you depend even more on that guy next to you, trust in your teammates even more.’’

Quarterback Darian Durant and Roughriders’ offence struggled for much of the night. Durant completed just 15 of 34 pass attempts for 191 yards.

“We were 0-2 and no one gave us

a shot to win this game,’’ Elimimian said. “We knew a lot of times what (the Riders) were trying to do. The biggest thing with Durant is containing him a he’s the main cog in that offence and we got some hits on him tonight and that slowed him down.’’

The Riders held a brief 13-11 lead late in the second quarter after Durant hooked up with receiver Taj Smith on a five-yard touchdown pass and catch.

But after Hugh Charles lost a fumble on the Riders’ next possession, Paul

McCallum kicked a 41-yard field goal, one of three on the night, to give the Lions a 14-13 advantage going into the half.

Saskatchewan’s Chris Milo made two field goals, also in the second quarter.

“I’m disappointed,’’ Durant said after the game. “I thought we would come out and put on a better performance than what we did. But you have to give B.C. a lot of credit. They came in here and took it to us.’’

Mitchell still undefeated as starting QB STAMPS WIN WITHOUT STARS CORNISH, LEWIS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Then Mitchell found Fuller on an eight-yard TD toss at 5:11 of the second giving Calgary a 17-6 advantage. It was set up by Sanders’ sparkling 121-yard return after Swayze Waters missed a 34-yard field goal try.

But the offence wasn’t the only unit playing hurt. Calgary’s defence held Toronto without a TD despite losing linebacker Deron Mayo and defensive back Keon Raymond to leg injuries.

Mitchell said there’s a simple reason why Calgary continues to win despite mounting injuries. ``The coaching staff,’’ he said. ``Those guys, they work tirelessly. ``They make sure we have the right gameplan, they make sure we’re in there studying, they’re on our backs making sure we’re in there practising the plays.’’

Hufnagel was very matter of fact when asked about his team’s injury situation. ``I’m not going to say much except that every team has 44 players and they’re expected to win football games,’’ he said. ``That’s how we approach it.’’

Marquay McDaniel had the other TD for Calgary while Rene Paredes had four converts and two field goals.

Waters booted five field goals for Toronto (1-2), which was without receivers Andre Durie (clavicle) and Jason Barnes (knee).

Rookies Anthony Coombs and

TORONTO — Another start, another win for Bo Levi Mitchell.

Mitchell’s four touchdown passes lead Calgary past the Toronto Argonauts 34-15 on Saturday night. The win was a big one for the Stampeders (2-0), who were without running back Jon Cornish and receivers Nik Lewis and Maurice Price.

Cornish, the CFL’s outstanding player last season, and Lewis are out with concussion symptoms while Price has a broken hand. But that didn’t deter Mitchell, who finished 16-of-24 passing for 268 yards to improve to 5-0 as a starter. He needs two wins to tie the league record for most victories to begin a CFL career held by former Stampeder Jeff Garcia. ``We’re 2-0 right now, that’s all I’m worried about,’’ Mitchell said. ``I’m not worried about my record, I’m worried about this team’s record and that’s what I’m going to keep worrying about. ``I keep doing everything I can in my power to get us in a position to win the game.’’

Then again, hardly anyone noticed as just 16,102 fans were at Rogers Centre. Last weekend, under 18,000 watched Toronto defeat Saskatchewan 48-15 in its home opener.

Calgary head coach/GM John Hufnagel was complimentary of his quarterback. ``Bo had a good game, he did what we needed from the position,’’ HufOLF OURSE nagel said. ``He had good composure for the most Executive Par Three part, threw the ball very accurately.’’

With Cornish out, Matt Walter and Jock Sanders split the halfback duties, rushing for 46 and 15 yards, respectively, as Calgary ran for 100 yards on 22 carries.

we made mental mistakes,’’ Milanovich said. ``There was a lot of talk about the guys Calgary was missing . . . . but they always seem to have the talent to bring in.’’

Tie a big victory for morale for winless team RENEGADES CONTROL MUCH OF MATCH, COME AWAY WITH TIE Photo by JOSH ALDRICH/Advocate staff

Sherwood Park Athletics second baseman Clay Loranger cannot corral a wild throw at second base as Cooper Jones slides in safe during the Red Deer Bantam AAA Servus Credit Union Braves 14-4 win at Great Chief Park in Red Deer on Saturday.

Braves heating up at right time HAVE WON FIVE OF THE PAST SEVEN GAMES

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF The Red Deer Bantam AAA Servus Credit Union Braves are playing their best baseball of the season at the most opportune time.

After beating the Sherwood Park Athletics (16-9) in two out of three games at Great Chief Park this weekend the Braves have won five of their last seven games and are back at .500 for the season.

The fourth place Braves (14-14) swept the first two games of the series on Saturday, winning 6-5 on an Andrew McCuaig squeeze bunt in the bottom of the seventh inning to plate Zach Olson and the winning run before crushing the A’s 14-4 in the second contest. They were primed to win the third game on Sunday, but fell 8-6 in extra innings.

“We are showing improvement in development and that’s really what we want,” said head coach Dwayne Lalor.

“We’re about three weeks away from the provincial championships and the growth is nice to see at this time.”

The biggest difference has been the quality of their pitching over the last few weeks, with their starters going deep into games.

In their first win on Saturday, Ben Leblanc lasted 6 1/3 innings, giving up

five runs on 10 hits and no walks with three strikeouts. Brady Steeves got the last two outs in the top of the seventh inning to give the Braves a shot in the bottom half of the inning.

In the second game, Jack Henley pitched a complete game, allowing four runs on nine hits with one walk and one strikeout, but kept the visitors off balance all game with a devastating change up.

In Sunday’s loss, McCuaig left the game after the sixth inning and tied at 6-6, Kelsey Lalor got it to the eighth inning, but was unable to keep the A’s off the scoreboard with tiebreaker rules starting offences with runners at first and second.

Also important has been their aggressive but sound play in the field.

Quite simply, they’re giving themselves a chance to win.

“Defensively we’re making more plays ... the last three or four weeks our pitching has been going deep into games and that allows us some consistency on the defensive side,” said Lalor.

Though the Braves’ offence needs to find a higher level of consistency, their bats were going all weekend.

In the 6-5 win on Saturday, Hunter Leslie had a single and a double and scored twice and Kelsey Lalor had a triple, two singles, a sacrifice bunt and

scored twice.

In the 14-4 win, Olson had two singles, a walk, scored twice and had one run batted in, Austin Hammond had a single and a double and scored twice, Steeves had an RBI double and two singles and Ty Moline had a single and two RBIs. In the loss on Sunday, Leblanc and Olson both had two singles and Hammond added an RBI double and a single.

Most importantly, what these games do is give them confidence that they can play with the best in the league and come away victorious. A critical ingredient for provincials that begin in three weeks.

“It’s nice to beat a team that’s ahead of us in the standings, because we start to get the feeling that ‘yeah, we can do this,’” said Lalor. “We’ve been struggling against the guys above us and we kind of made a breakthrough here (on Saturday).

“The winning feeling is fun, the energy level picks up and that makes us better players.”

The Braves are scheduled to be off this week, but are hoping to schedule a double-header in Okotoks to get in a couple games that were rained out earlier in the year. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Renegades sweep division final FACE LETHBRIDGE IN CONFERENCE FINAL

BY ADVOCATE STAFF The Red Deer Renegades were short-handed during the weekend, but there was no shortage of goals on their part.

The junior B tier 2 Renegades ran past the Calgary Wranglers 13-10 and 16-7 and Friday and Saturday at the Kinex, sweeping the best-of-three Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Southwest Division final.

“We had a short bench with six or seven kids on grad trips,” said head coach Rob Kachor. “We had to play everybody and we played as a team. But the Wranglers gave us a good series. It was a tough battle.”

Justin Moltzahn and Nate Bellanger each fired four goals for the Renegades on Friday, with Brady Thudium connecting three times. Declan Johnston

and Tucker Kambeitz also scored for Red Deer, which led 3-2 and 9-7 by periods.

Thudium and Bellanger each sniped four goals in Saturday’s victory. Johnston scored three goals, Moltzahn and Logan Sinclair each potted a pair and Ryan Strome netted a single goal.

“We passed well and were able to put the ball in the net,” said Kachor.

“And during our power plays we pretty much scored every time we shot.”

The Renegades travel to Lethbridge this weekend to face the Barracudas in a best-of-three South Conference final. The winner of the series will host the North representatives in a best-ofthree provincial championship.

• The Red Deer TBS Rampage were in Saskatoon during the weekend and split a Rocky Mountain League junior B tier 1 series with the host Swat.

The Rampage salvaged a split with

LACROSSE a 13-10 win Sunday, getting three-goal performances from Mitch Vellner and Dawson Reykdal and two from each of Ryan Beatson, who added four assists, and Spencer Lee. Adam Ferguson, Davis Reykdal, who had four helpers, and Cole deGraaf also scored, while Rhett Baldwin was the winning goaltender.

Vellner and Davis Reykdal each sniped three goals in a 10-9 loss Saturday, while Dawson Reykdal, Pearce Just and Landon Willoughby also tallied. Lee picked up three assists and Darrian Banack took the loss in net.

The Rampage will face the Edmonton Warriors this weekend in the first round of the Rocky Mountain League playoffs. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Bucs defence stifles LOCAL BRIEFS Stallions

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Buccaneers 22, Stallions 6 Kenton Poelzer and the Central Alberta Buccaneers bulldozed over the Edmonton Stallions 22-6 in Edmonton on Saturday to improve to 3-2 this Alberta Football League season.

Poelzer had three quarterback sacks, several pass breakups and a 60-yard fumble return for a touchdown after he drilled Stallions quarterback Josh Gorniak to pace the Buccaneers.

“Poelzer had a phenomenal game on defence,” said Bucs head coach Duane Brown.

“We were in their quarterback’s face all game long and he took some vicious hits.”

Bucs rookie quarterback Cole Stewart had another big game passing for almost 300 yards, while throwing for

one touchdown to Matt Merkley and running for another, while rookie running back Junior Rivera also went over the 100-yard mark.

Place kicker Tylor Johnson missed his only field goal attempt of the night from 48 yards out, and picked up the single point.

This was Stewart’s third start for the Buccaneers and is looking better with each game.

“Cole Stewart really coming into his own as starting quarterback and really getting some chemistry going with his receivers and were really starting to see that take off,” said Brown.

Up next for the Bucs is their final home game of the season on Saturday when they host the expansion Fort McMurray Monarchs (2-3) at MEGlobal Athletic Park in Lacombe at 6 p.m. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate. com

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer Renegades 1, Lethbridge FC 1 It was only a tie, but for the Red Deer Renegades it was the removal of a piano off their backs.

Red Deer’s Women’s Alberta Major Soccer League team tied Lethbridge FC 1-1 at Edgar Athletic Park on Sunday, giving them their first point of the season.

The beleaguered rebuilding club entered the contest with a 0-9-0 record and had been outscored 57-4, including 6-1 in a loss to the Edmonton Northwest United (10-0-1) in Edmonton on Saturday.

But finally they left a game feeling good about themselves.

“We’ve lost every game this season, so it was good just to get some points on the board and get the morale up,” said Bianca Ribi, who scored the Renegades only goal. “It’s always encouraging, even if you start slow, you fight and you push and you see the improvement at the end of the season.”

The only troubling thought in the minds of the Renegades players is that it very nearly was a win, after they controlled much of the game and really took over late in the match.

After a closely contested first half, Lethbridge opened the scoring early in the second as Vicki Noronha finally found a way to beat Red Deer goalie Chantal Park.

But the Renegades came back and piled on the pressure the rest of the way.

With about 10 minutes to go, Kayla Blacquiere found Ribi with a cross and the Calgary native headed the ball past FC keeper Myriah Marino.

They continued to press hard for the go-ahead goal, but were unable to find the back of the net again.

“I thought if we had another minute, we would have scored,” said head coach Paul Morigeau. “It’s a great result, and I thought based on balance, we probably should have won based on who really brought it as the game wore on. But you build on little things. Lethbridge is a really strong team ... and it’s something to build on.”

The Renegades backline with Savannah Pratt, Megan Jevne, Alexandra Moyer and Leanne Landry and Park in net played solid all game, as they have for much of the season.

For Ribi, it was her first goal of the season and a big relief.

The 18-year-old striker drives up from Calgary for games and is preparing to join Dartmouth College in New Hampshire in the fall to begin her college career.

“The skill level is so great there, and the’s so much pressure — you’ve got a whole school behind you and counting on you,” said Ribi, who will be taking general sciences with designs on going to med school. “It will be nerve wracking, but I’m pretty excited to have the whole feel of (college) sports.”

The Renegades can use all the scoring they can get.

Blacquiere has scored three of their five goals this year as they have struggled to replace the offence of Paula Dadensky — the second leading scorer in the league last year — who has missed almost the entire season after suffering a concussion in the first game. She made her return to the lineup on Sunday, and Dadensky is hoping that will give them a boost for their last four games of the year, especially paired with Blacquiere.

“It takes chemistry, and they were just a tiny bit off today ... but once those two hook up it will be great,” said Morigeau.

A win in one of those final games would be huge for the club.

“It would be amazing to end on a high note,” said Ribi. “The team is playing great, everybody is clicking, everybody is feeling good and I have confidence it is going to come.”

The Renegades host the Edmonton Scottish Angels (6-3-0) in their final home game of the season on Saturday at 2 p.m. at Edgar Athletic Park.

NOTES — Kaitlin D’arcy scored the Renegades’ lone goal, early in Saturday’s loss, giving Red Deer an early lead. But with a short bench in the high heat, they ran out of steam as the game wore on — Julia Ignacio and Lindsay Boland both scored twice for the United while Shaelan Assmus and Lauren Granberg added one goal each. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Brazil’s World Cup dreams end with a whimper NETHERLANDS TAKES THIRD-PLACE MATCH 3-0

Scott Schiffner, from Strathmore, stays on Mr. Buddy to win the bull riding event during finals rodeo action at the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Sunday, July 13, 2014.

Young Canadians impress at Calgary Stampede

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Canadian cowboys held their own on Showdown Sunday, winning three of six events at the Calgary Stampede rodeo.

Scott Schiffner of Strathmore capped things off at the 10-day event by posting an 89.5-point ride atop Mr. Buddy to win the bull-riding competition in front of an appreciative crowd of approximately 25,000 rodeo fans.

“It’s a special day,” said Schiffner, who edged out fellow Canadian bull rider Ty Pozzobon of Merritt, B.C., who scored 88 points aboard I’m a Gangsta. “I’m pretty proud of Canada and I’m really proud of our cowboys. We can compete anywhere in the world.”

For his efforts, Schiffner accepted a cheque for $100,000, which is $50,000 more than when he last won at the Stampede in 2001.

“I love inflation,” Schiffner said. “There’s not much I can say that everybody else hasn’t already said about how great this rodeo is. An opportunity to ride for $100,000, life’s pretty good on a day like this.”

Schiffner was also impressed to see Morgan Grant of Granton, Ont., win the tie-down roping competition with an impressive time of 7.0 seconds in the finals.

“To watch us win in the calf roping, to me, that’s the biggest statement right there,” Schiffner said.

“The calf roping is definitely dominated by, not only Americans, but Texans. To come into that field and to beat these guys, he better be pretty proud of him-

self. I know I am.”

Grant won $120,000 in total on Sunday as he also finished tied for second in the steer wrestling finals by posting a time of 3.8, which was just 3/100ths of a second behind winner and three-time Stampede champion Trevor Knowles of Mt. Vernon, Ore. “I’m on top of the world,” said Grant, a first-time Stampede competitor who celebrated his win in tiedown roping by running across the stage waving a giant Canadian flag to the delight of the fans. “This is amazing. It’s hard to even fathom how awesome this is and how much this means to me. It’ll probably sink in in a couple days how amazing this is. I’m just on cloud nine right now.”

Dustin Flundra of Pincher Creek needed a buckoff to beat Wade Sundell of Boxholm, Iowa, in the saddle bronc championship showdown.

After Flundra and Sundell each posted scores of 89, they both prepared for their third rides of the afternoon. Flundra then scored 87.5 points atop Holly Blues to narrowly edge Sundell, who had an 86-point ride on Rubels.

“It was a little more work than you expect,” Flundra said. “You come here and you know that if you’re going to win $100,000 you’re going to have to ride two horses at least. The third one wasn’t that much more of a stretch. For $100,000, if they would have let us, me and Wade would have kept getting on all day long.”

Flundra was ecstatic to win his first Stampede title in front of a boisterous crowd of supporters so close to his hometown.

BRASILIA, Brazil — Robin van Persie and Daley Blind scored early goals to help give the Netherlands a 3-0 win over host Brazil in the third-place match at the World Cup on Saturday.

With the result, the Netherlands finishes a World Cup unbeaten in regular play for the first time, having lost to Argentina on penalties in the semifinals.

After finishing runner-up in 2010, the third place is the best position for the Dutch squad since it lost the final in 1974 and 1978.

The loss added to Brazil’s frustration at the home tournament following the disastrous 7-1 defeat to Germany. After the final whistle, the team was loudly booed by the nearly 70,000 fans that attended the match at the National Stadium in Brasilia. Many had already left even before the late third goal by the Dutch.

“It’s a terrible feeling, I don’t know what to say,” Oscar said. “After a huge loss to Germany, today we tried our best from the beginning to win third place but it wasn’t our day. We have to see what went wrong so we can improve for the future.”

Van Persie converted a penalty kick three minutes into the match after Arjen Robben was brought down by Brazil captain Thiago Silva on the edge of the area. Blind added to the lead in the 17th with a shot from near the penalty spot after defender David Luiz made a mistake while trying to clear a cross in front of the goal. Georginio Wijnaldum rounded off the win in injury time with a shot inside the near post.

“The most beautiful was our resilience. We were knocked out but we came back and finished third,” Wijnaldum said. “We wanted to close it out well.”

Brazil looked lost from the start, making many of the same defensive mistakes that marked the historic defeat to the Germans four days ago. The Netherlands took advantage with quick passes and speed in the attack.

Silva had to foul Robben after being beaten on the run, leading to van Persie’s firm left-foot shot into the right upper corner to put the Dutch ahead.

The Dutch wanted a red card for Silva for a professional foul, but Algerian referee Djamel Haimoudi only gave him a yellow. Silva had missed the semifinal against Germany because of a yellow card suspension.

Blind added to the lead after Luiz failed to clear a cross, heading the ball right back to the Dutch defender for an easy goal.

Rose wins second tournament in a row HEADS INTO BRITISH OPEN AIMING FOR THIRD STRAIGHT WIN Rose added three more birdies in the front nine and another at No. 12, before parring his way home.

He had the luxury of being able to soak up the applause as he ambled down the 18th hole, having planted his drive straight down the fairway and his approach onto the centre of the green.

His iron play has been commanding this week, reviving memories of the form he produced at Merion.

“I was pretty calm out there as I got off to a good start,” Rose said.

“I never felt in a lot of trouble.

Rose is making a habit of winning on tough courses, with Royal Aberdeen joining a list that includes Merion, Doral, Valderrama and most recently Congressional.

“It feels unbelievable to be back in the winner’s circle so quickly,” he said.

ABERDEEN — After capturing his first major title at last year’s U.S. Open, Justin Rose took nearly 13 months to return to the winner’s circle.

Now he’s heading to the British Open seeking a third tournament victory in three weeks.

Rose turned the final round of the Scottish Open into a procession on Sunday, calmly shooting a 6-under 65 to win by two strokes and seal back-to-back successes either side of the Atlantic.

A fortnight ago, the Englishman won the Quicken Loans National at Congressional in a playoff to finally shrug off that hangover from Merion.

“It’s uncharted territory for me — I’ve never won two in a row before,” said Rose, who has banked almost $2 million in prize money from his two victories.

The big question now is: can he make it three in a row? Definitely, judging by his impressive body of work over the Royal Aberdeen links since Thursday.

Four straight rounds in the 60s.

Imperious iron play in varying wind conditions.

Brilliant putting, which has long been his weak point. The confidence of being a major champion stood out Sunday — Rose was nerveless from the moment he rolled in a 12-foot putt on the second hole, the first of six birdies.

His closest challengers had no chance, with playing partner Marc Warren — who started out in the last group with Rose tied at 10-under — watching on in awe.

“Not a lot I could have done about that,” said Warren, who shot a 70 for third place. “Once he gets out in front, he’s very tough to catch. The whole day he was very

clinical.

“I don’t like being on the end of it but it was a pleasure to watch.”

Unheralded Swede Kristoffer Broberg finished second on 14 under after a 66, one of a slew of low scores on a windless final day that left Royal Aberdeen defenceless and there for the taking.

If players wanted one last tough test before Hoylake, it wasn’t going to come here with because of a lack of wind off the North Sea, soft greens after morning rain and some easy pin positions.

Broberg earned one of the three qualifying places for the British Open at Hoylake, along with other top-10 finishers Tyrrell Hatton and Scott Jamieson.

Scotland’s Stephen Gallacher and Chile’s Felipe Aguilar broke the course record with 8-under 63s and deposed champion Phil Mickelson saved his best round for last with a 65.

Mickelson was tied for 11th while Rory McIlroy tied for 14th after a 67.

Both world stars seemed satisfied with the state of their games ahead of the British Open, however.

“I feel a lot sharper and I feel like I have direction in my ball-striking and direction in my short game and putting,” said Mickelson, who will be defending the claret jug.

Likely up to No. 3 in the world from No. 6 with this 15th professional victory worldwide and first in Europe since 2007, Rose is in prime form heading to his home major. And there was no stopping him here.

The Englishman rolled in birdies at Nos. 2 and 3 — the latter from 25 feet — to power into a two-shot lead over Warren, who was looking to avenge a final-round meltdown at the Scottish Open two years ago when he blew a three-shot lead with four to play.

Frenchman Gallopin takes yellow jacket FRANCE’S FIRST YELLOW JERSEY HOLDER SINCE 2011

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MULHOUSE, France — On a day local Roman Catholics were celebrating the feast of Saint Anthony, two other Tonys had their own reason to celebrate in the Tour de France.

Germany’s Tony Martin took the stage win Sunday, and France’s Tony Gallopin took the yellow jersey during an up-and-down Stage 9 in the eastern Vosges mountains.

Martin, a three-time world champion known more for time-trial dominance, showed that he could climb too; Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali, who has been wearing the leader’s yellow jersey, didn’t lay a hard enough chase of Gallopin to keep it.

French media — delighted to see the country’s first yellow jersey holder since Thomas Voeckler wore it in 2011 — reveled in the fact that Gallopin will lead France’s most beloved race on the Bastille Day holiday Monday.

The 29-year-old German, meanwhile, said his stage victory might have been an “omen” for Germany’s World Cup ambitions against Argentina — which it turned out to be.

Gallopin, of the Lotto Belisol team, said he’d been plotting a move for the yellow jersey since Stage 5 — when he positioned himself for a challenge because Nibali was unlikely to want to hold it all the way to Paris on July 27, when the race ends.

It’s a lot of pressure to try to carry the leader’s shirt so long, through the Alps and Pyrenees ahead.

But Nibali knows that Gallopin is unlikely to make it up the big climbs ahead, and the Italian didn’t lose any time against his biggest rivals — highest among them, two-time Tour champion Alberto Contador.

Gallopin, by finishing about 5 minutes ahead of Nibali, easily erased his deficit to the Italian and now leads him by 1:34. Portuguese rider Tiago Machado is third overall, 4:08 back.

But, like Gallopin, he is not considered a Tour contender.

“It’s with great pride that I will ride on the national holiday day in the yellow jersey,” said 26-year-old Gallopin, adding that he feared he may not keep it after an uphill finish at the supersteep Planche des Belles Filles on Monday. “It’s a little bit scary, but I will enjoy the day.”

“It was always a dream of wearing the yellow jersey,” said Gallopin, who finished 2:45 back of solo breakaway leader Martin.

The pack passes a tunnel in a rock formation during the ninth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 170 kilometers (105.6 miles) with start in Gerardmer and finish in Mulhouse, France, Sunday, July 13, 2014.

Contador finished safely in the main pack along with Nibali and is 4:08 back in ninth place overall.

They will resume their contest in the toughest stage so far — Monday’s 161.5-kilometre (100-mile) trek from Mulhouse to the famed La Planche des Belles Filles, featuring four steep Category 1 climbs.

The pack takes its first rest day on Tuesday.

“It was a tough day,” Contador said, looking ahead to Monday. “We’ll have to decide whether or not we try to attack or ride defensively.”

The Tour paid tribute to those who died in the First World War — 1914-

18 — by riding along the battlefields where millions died.

Sunday’s route took the peloton past a landmark remembering the Battle du Linge in 1915, where some 17,000 French and German soldiers fell in three ferocious months of fighting.

The groves and thickets in Le Linge’s mountainous pass helped mask lethal sections of barbed wire protecting tight German defensive lines.

Shortly before the day’s most difficult climb — a Category 1 ascent of 10.8 kilometres (6.7 miles) up Le Markstein — Martin broke away, and Gallopin’s chasing group was about two minutes behind with Nibali more than six min-

utes adrift.

Martin, some 18.5 minutes back, was no threat to Nibali’s yellow jersey.

Nibali lost more and more ground, and urged his Astana teammates to step up the pace as they reached the last of the climbs — a short, sharp ascent up Grand Ballon. But they left themselves with far too much to do.

Martin, who narrowly beat Tour champion Chris Froome in a time trial last year, continued to surge ahead, with tail winds making for a quick descent down to the finish. The departure of Froome in Stage 5 due to injury has blown the race wide open.

‘Melo stays with Knicks, wants to build with city and team

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony wanted to be a Knick a few years ago, and nothing has changed now.

Anthony is staying in New York, announcing his decision Sunday in a posting titled “My City, My Heart” on his website.

“This organization has supported me and in return, I want to stay and build here with this city and my team,” Anthony said.

He explained that he owed it to himself to explore all his options as a free agent, and thanked the teams he met with for their interest.

“Through it all, my heart never wavered,” he wrote.

The Knicks can pay the All-Star forward nearly $130 million over five years, though Anthony has said he would be open to taking less than the maximum salary if it would help build a winning team.

Anthony decided four summers ago he wanted a trade from Denver to New York, and the Nuggets were finally able to accommodate him in February

2011. Anthony, who was born in Brooklyn, wrote in his posting that at that time he had dreamed of coming back of New York.

But the 30-year-old forward also wants to compete for championships, and the Knicks don’t seem ready at the moment. They went 37-45 last season, the first time in Anthony’s 11-year career he missed the post-season.

They hired Phil Jackson as president in March, and Anthony believes the 11-time champion as a coach can turn the organization into a winner.

“I am looking forward to continue my career in Orange & Blue and to work with Phil Jackson, a champion who builds championship teams,” Anthony wrote.

Jackson is expected to talk about Anthony’s decision on Sunday in Las Vegas, where the Knicks are practicing on an off day at the summer league.

Anthony met with Chicago, Houston, Dallas and the Lakers after terminating the final year of his contract and becoming a free agent July 1. A few of those teams seem much closer to contending than the Knicks, but none

could offer anywhere near the salary under NBA rules, which allow players to sign five-year deals with their current teams but only for four years with another.

Jackson and the Knicks made it clear how much they wanted to keep the 2012-13 NBA scoring champion, telling him in a July 3 meeting in Los

Angeles that they were willing to pay him the maximum allowable salary.

Anthony took another 10 days to announce his decision, though apparently the Knicks were his preference all along.

“I will always remember this chapter in my life,” he wrote. “In the end, I am a New York Knick at heart.”

By 2020 the province will need an extra 6,200 truck drivers.

Jays muster five hits over eight innings against Price, lose HEAD INTO ALL-STAR BREAK AFTER LONG, UNSUCCESSFUL ROAD TRIP

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Not even a stomach virus could derail David Price’s surge.

The All-Star left-hander scattered five hits in eightplus innings to win his fourth consecutive start and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0 on Sunday.

Price (9-7), who had his start pushed back one day due to being ill, struck out five and walked one. He was pulled after giving up a leadoff single in the ninth to Melky Cabrera.

“Everything was working,” Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. “They weren’t getting comfortable swings on him. Really fun to watch.”

Price let the team know Saturday night that he felt good enough to pitch Sunday. He watched Saturday’s game at home on TV. Because Price pitched on Sunday, he is ineligible to play in the All-Star game Tuesday night in Minnesota.

His roster spot was taken by his former teammate, Seattle closer Fernando Rodney.

When asked if he was disappointed about not pitching in the All-Star game, Price said yes and no.

“It’s always fun to be part of an All-Star game,” he said.

The Rays, who have won 11 of 15, got RBI singles from Logan Forsythe and Jose Molina.

Jake McGee got three outs for his seventh save.

“There was no let up the day before All-Star break,” Maddon said. “We didn’t mail anything in.”

R.A. Dickey (7-9) gave up two runs and five hits over six innings.

“That’s a perennial All-Star over there,” Dickey said of Price. “You know when you’re pitching against a guy like that you don’t have a lot of margin

Tampa Bay Rays’ Yunel Escobar slides into home as Toronto Blue Jays catcher Josh Thole applies a tag in front of home plate umpire Sean Barber during the sixth inning of a baseball game Sunday, July 13, 2014, in St. Petersburg, Fla. Barber called Escobar out, but the ruling was reversed after video review. for error.”

Toronto has not won a road series against Tampa Bay since April 2007, a span of 22 sets.

“Please don’t ask a question about the streak in Tampa,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said as reporters entered his office after the game.

Toronto has lost eight of 10 overall.

Despite their recent struggles, the Blue Jays’ 49 wins at

the All-Star break are their most since 2006. A win Sunday would have given them 50 victories before the break for the first time since 1992.

The Rays took a 1-0 lead on a two-out single by Forsythe in the second.

Tampa Bay went ahead 2-0 during the sixth thanks to a video replay. Yunel Escobar was thrown out trying to score from second by right fielder Jose Bautista on Molina’s two-

out single, but the call was overturned.

Evan Longoria’s seventh-inning sacrifice fly made it 3-0.

Dickey worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the third by striking out Brandon Guyer and getting a flyball from Escobar. The Rays are hitting .181 (13 for 72) with the bases loaded this season.

NOTES: Tampa Bay activated McGee from the paternity list and optioned RHP Jeremy

Hellickson to Double-A Montgomery. Hellickson is coming back from right elbow surgery in January, and the move will allow him to pitch Monday during the All-Star break.

Maddon said Hellickson make a second start in the minors next weekend. ... Rays C Ryan Hanigan (sore left side) sat out his third consecutive game, while CF Desmond Jennings (bruised left knee) missed his second straight.

Keselowski grabs lobster, clinches spot in Chase for Sprint Cup

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUDON, N.H. — Brad Keselowski hopped out of his car and grabbed an oversized broom to give a playful sweep of all the confetti already collected around his Ford.

He then truly savored his victory, snagging a New England lobster and raising it in triumph.

Keselowski survived without a cut, splinter or pinch. He didn’t even fumble his championship crustacean.

For once, his victory celebration was as perfect as his performance on the track.

He completed a flawless weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and won Sunday under a green-white checkered finish. Keselowski followed up Saturday’s Nationwide Series victory with his first Sprint Cup win at New Hampshire, dominating in the No. 2 Ford for his third victory of the season.

The 2012 Sprint Cup champion is now tied with Jimmie Johnson for the series lead in wins.

“This was just such a phenomenal weekend and these don’t happen that often,” he said.

Keselowski had been in a slump with, of all things, his Victory Lane fun.

He needed four stitches to close a wound he received during his Victory Lane celebration in the Sprint Cup race at Kentucky. He tried to open the bottle of champagne by hitting it against a podium, and the bottle broke and cut his hand.

Keselowski dropped the American flag out of his No. 22 Ford on Saturday and it was retrieved by an official to let the frivolity continue.

He joked he brought Kevlar-reinforced gloves that were touted as cutproof.

Good thing. The New Hampshire winner traditionally receives a live lobster in Victory Lane.

“Apparently, I’ve got to win more and I’ll get better at it,” he said. “I think everybody got to hold the lobster.

We’re looking forward to eating the lobster later this week. I hear they’re going to overnight the meat.”

He’ll get a taste of Loudon the Lobster — yes, that’s its name — a 20-pounder caught off the coast of New Bedford, Massachusetts.

And Keselowski won driving the Redd’s Apple Ford Fusion, truly making the win a Redd Lobster photo opp.

Keselowski keeps pilling up wins and has proved he may be even better than he was during ’12 championship run.

“I think in a lot of ways, we’re stronger than that,” he said. “I don’t think we’ve had this much speed before.”

After the last caution came with

four laps left, Keselowski pulled away on the final restart to become the first driver to sweep the weekend in track history.

He had the fastest car most of the weekend, even leading the speed charts during both Sprint Cup practices on Saturday.

“You can’t have a great car if you don’t have the best driver,” team owner Roger Penske said. “I can tell you today, there was nobody that could beat him.”

Keselowski and Dale Earnhardt Jr. clinched spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, provided they attempt to qualify for the final seven races before the cutoff.

Pole sitter Kyle Busch was second.

Kyle Larson, Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman completed the top five.

Busch said the No. 18 Toyota never had enough to mount a serious challenge.

“I don’t think anybody did,” he said.

Keselowski led 138 of 305 laps (four more than the scheduled 301) and helped Ford to its fourth straight win.

Ford last won four consecutive Sprint Cup races in 2001.

Clint Bowyer, Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Dale Earnhardt Jr. rounded out the top 10.

Joey Logano was running inside the top five late in the race when he connected with Morgan Shepherd. The 72-year-old Shepherd, who extended his mark as the oldest driver to start a race in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup series, was about 15 laps down when his No. 33 slid up into Logano.

“I feel like there should be a driver’s test before you get out in a Cup car and make sure you know how to drive before you drive one,” Logano said.

Shepherd was 39th and completed 278 laps. He was never warned about not meeting the minimum speed of 115.875 mph.

“It’s an accident. Those things happen,” NASCAR vice-president of competition Robin Pemberton said. “It could happen to anybody. It could happen with any competitor.”

Johnson, the six-time NASCAR champion, was knocked out of the race early after two rear left tire issues. The first time the tire was flat; the second time, the tire exploded and slammed the No. 48 Chevrolet into the fence. He finished 42nd.

Goodyear said the tires weren’t the problem.

“The tires failed in a manner consistent of low inflation pressure,” Greg Stucker, Goodyear’s director of racing, said.

Four fully functioning tires might not have helped even Johnson catch Keselowski.

“I think we have a lot of potential still left in our team,” he said.

Harman earns first PGA Tour title

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SILVIS, Ill. — Brian Harman admitted he felt the pressure.

The 27-year-old, in his third full season on the PGA Tour, hadn’t been in the final twosome in the final round until Sunday. He held the lead entering the final round of the John Deere Classic, and looked at the scoreboard after hitting a poor shot into the eighth green.

“I saw the guys were playing well, so that’s when I felt it, but I was able to hit three really good shots on No. 9 to birdie, and that kind of got me going,” Harman said.

He kept going all the way to his first victory on the Tour, using three straight birdies down the stretch to hold off Zach Johnson by one stroke.

Harman had a 5-under 66 in the final round for a 22-under-262 total to earn $846,000 and the last exemption for next week’s British Open. Johnson had the best round of the day at 7-under 64.

“It was very hard, probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever tried to do in my life,” Harman said. “Just trying not to let your mind run wild is the hardest part out there.”

Two years ago, Harman played with Johnson in a late pairing of the Deere that Johnson won, and learned a great deal about how to handle the heat.

“I talked to Zach about it, and he felt I was trying to get out of his way a little too much and that I needed to stake my ground a little bit,” Harman said.

He did so Sunday beginning on the par-5 second hole, sinking a 4-foot putt after a 223-yard approach. That jumped

him to 19 under and set the tone. His bogey on No. 5 became only a momentary speed bump once he birdied No. 9. He led Johnson and Scott Brown by a stroke at the turn and was ahead by as many as three strokes after his final birdie, a 6-footer on No. 16.

Jhonattan Vegas had a 65 to finished tied for third with Jerry Kelly (66) at 265. Scott Brown (68) and Tim Clark (67) tied for fifth another shot back.

Three-time winner Steve Stricker fell off the pace set by Harman on the front nine, then fell off the leader board with a double-bogey on the par3 12th. His approach ended up in high brush behind and below the green.

“It was hard to play after that,” Stricker said. “I was just trying to get it in without getting in Brian’s way.”

Stricker finished with a 72 and a tie for 11th at 269.

Brown was tied with Johnson and Clark briefly midway through the round, but played the back nine in par 36 and fell back.

Clark, the lone contender with a long putter, bogeyed No. 9 to fall out of the joint lead.

Harman, whose best previous finishes were ties for third place, also earned his first invitations to the Masters and the Tournament of Champions. He tried to block that out along the way.

“When those thoughts enter, it’s like what’s the best way to get those things you want,” Harman said.

He got his third eagle in 19 holes when he eagled the par-5 second for the second straight day. He sank a 4-foot putt after a brilliant approach from 223 yards. A bogey on No. 5 was offset by a birdie on the ninth, the most difficult hole on the front nine.

Bosh excited for post-LeBron challenge in Miami SIGNS FIVE-YEAR, $118-MILLION DEAL TO STAY IN SOUTH BEACH

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Half a world away, Chris Bosh could not escape the frenzy of last week.

An offer from the Houston Rockets was waiting.

His longtime Miami teammate LeBron James was leaving. For a few moments, Bosh found himself wondering if his days with the Heat were over.

Then he looked at his family, and everything stopped.

“We’ve built a life in South Florida and we’re comfortable,” Bosh said Sunday. “So I had to do what’s best now for myself and my family.”

With that, his decision became very easy. Bosh will sign a $118-million, five-year deal to stay with the Heat, a formality only held up by the logistical challenge presented by him being in Ghana right now and with more exotic stops on a family vacation still to come before returning home.

When he finally puts pen to paper, the Heat locker room will essentially become his — and in an interview with The Associated Press, Bosh said that while it’s a shock to realize James is no longer with Miami after four seasons, he’s ready to have that voice.

“I can’t lie to you: I’m excited. I’m excited for the challenge,” Bosh said during a break from NBA Africa duties. “I want to step up to the challenge. I feel this is a chance to prove to myself and others that I can still do this.

“I want to see if I can do what’s necessary to go in there and win every night. That’s the challenge of be-

ing a leader. It excites me. It’s been a long time and I feel like I’m a much better player and a leader now, so it’ll be fun.”

Bosh had that role in Toronto before coming to Miami, then was perceived as a No. 3 behind James and Dwyane Wade when they teamed up in 2010 to begin the “Big 3” era with the Heat.

Now, Bosh will be one of the league’s highest-paid players over the next five seasons, and with that comes a responsibility role to lead.

“It’s a very different process,” Bosh said, “but I think I know how to do it.”

The Heat called James’ decision disappointing, and Bosh acknowledged that there was a “shock factor” when he heard, but Miami is moving on.

They’ve locked Bosh up, are closing in on a new deal with Wade and got a commitment Sunday from small forward Luol Deng on a two-year deal not long before point guard Mario Chalmers announced on Twitter that he’s returning to the team. Plus, the Heat have deals pending with forwards Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger.

“Proud to say I’m back,” Chalmers wrote.

Miami has been to the NBA Finals in each of Bosh’s first four seasons there, the team’s two-year run as champions coming to an end when the Heat lost in five games to San Antonio last month.

Bosh got over that loss fast.

“We weren’t going to beat those guys,” Bosh said.

“They were clicking on all cylinders. ... You can accept losing to such a great team.”

After that, free agency followed. Bosh, Wade and

James met last month for lunch, one that created tons of speculation once word got out about the meal.

Bosh said much of what was reported was overblown, and that was the day he started thinking the run was over.

“It’s not what everybody thought it was,” Bosh said. “We were just talking and having lunch with each other. Did I expect to kind of figure things out?

Yeah, for sure. But it wasn’t that. We just enjoyed having lunch. That’s when I could tell, there’s a possibility that somebody could be in a different uniform next year.”

Soon, the Rockets came calling. Their pitch: Come to Houston, join Dwight Howard and James Harden and keep contending for titles.

“I’d be lying if I sat here and said Houston wasn’t enticing,” Bosh said. “You look at their roster and you can kind of see why it makes sense for them to be interested in me, with the chance they have to be successful. They’re going to be a good team regardless next year. It just seemed like I would be that final piece that they needed. It was a hard choice to turn down.”

Bosh insists the Heat will be good next season.

How good, that will largely be up to him.

“We have so much chemistry,” Bosh said. “We’ll just be continuing without LeBron. It’s starting a different chapter. It’s exciting. I think it should be motivation for everybody to step up to the plate. We’re fortunate enough to have some of the same guys. We should be able to say, ‘Hey, we can come out here and compete no matter what happens.”’

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.

— Jeremy Lin joined the Lakers on Sunday in a trade with the Houston Rockets, who also gave up first- and secondround draft picks in 2015 for the rights to European centre Sergei Lishchuk.

Lin will make about $15 million this season in the last year of a deal that counts only $8 million against the salary cap. The Lakers have the cap room to absorb Lin’s contract.

Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak says the trade allows the team to acquire a solid player and two draft picks while maintaining financial flexibility.

Lin averaged 12.5 points and 4.1 assists last season, but lost his starting job because coach Kevin McHale preferred Patrick Beverley’s defensive play.

Lin was born in Los Angeles and figures to be popular with the region’s large Asian community. He was raised in Northern California and played four years at Harvard.

Lishchuk is from Ukraine and played for Valencia of the Spanish ACB League last season, appearing in the Euro Cup. He was drafted by Memphis in 2004 and traded to the Rockets in February 2008 before landing with the Lakers as part of a three-way trade with New Jersey in December 2010.

Also, the Lakers signed Julius Randle to a rookie contract.
