Storm brings hail, no twisters BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Man places a flower tribute at the Dutch embassy to commemorate victims of Malaysia Airlines plane crash in Kiev, Ukraine, Thursday. A Malaysian Airlines passenger jet was shot down in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, and both the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian rebels blamed one another for the attack.
Pro-Russia rebels accused of shooting down Malaysian plane BY PETER LEONARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HRABOVE, Ukraine — Ukraine accused proRussian separatists of shooting down a Malaysian jetliner with 298 people aboard Thursday, sharply escalating the crisis and threatening to draw both East and West deeper into the conflict. The rebels denied downing the aircraft. American intelligence authorities believe a surface-to-air missile brought the plane down but were still working on who fired the missile and whether it came from the Russian or Ukrainian side of the border, a U.S. official said. Bodies, debris and burning wreckage of the Boeing 777 were strewn over a field near the rebel-held village of Hrabove in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the Russian border, where fighting has raged for months. U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden described the plane as having been “blown out of the sky.” The aircraft appeared to have broken up before impact, and there were large pieces of the plane that bore the red, white and blue markings of Malaysia Airlines — now familiar worldwide because of the carrier’s still-missing jetliner from earlier this year. The cockpit and one of the turbines lay at a distance of one kilometre from one another. Residents said the tail was about 10 kilometres farther away. Rescue workers planted sticks with white flags in spots where they found human remains. There was no sign of any survivors from Flight 17, which took off shortly after noon Thursday from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur with 283 passengers, including three infants, and a crew of 15. Malaysia’s prime minister said there was no distress call before the plane went down and that the flight route was declared safe by the International Civil Aviation Organization. President Petro Poroshenko called it an “act of terrorism” and demanded an international investigation. He insisted his forces did not shoot down the plane. Ukraine’s security services produced what they said were two intercepted telephone conversations that showed rebels were responsible.
What is known about the crash of Malaysian jetliner in Ukraine THE PLANE A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER, which the carrier said was carrying 283 passengers, including three infants, and 15 crew members on Flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. After leaving Amsterdam at 12:15 p.m. local time, the aircraft was due to land at Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 6:10 a.m. local time the following day. THE ROUTE Though Ukrainian military aircraft have been shot down over eastern Ukraine by rebels, and the area has been the scene of fierce fighting, the route taken by the Malaysian jet appears to have been subject to no flight restrictions, the International Air Transport Association, an industry group, said. THE CRASH Malaysia Airlines said it was notified by Ukrainian authorities that they lost contact with the plane when it was 30 kilometres from the Tamak waypoint, approximately 50 kilometres from the Ukraine-Russia border. The plane-tracking service FlightAware.com said the last reported position for MH17 was at 33,000 feet just west of Ukraine’s border with Russia. THE CAUSE An adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister said the plane was shot down with a missile, but gave no proof. In a counterclaim, a pro-Moscow separatist leader said he was certain that it was Ukrainian troops who downed the airliner, but also offered no explanation or proof. THE PASSENGERS At least 154 people on the flight were Dutch citizens, said Huib Gorter, Malaysian Airlines senior vice-president in Europe. There were also 43 Malaysians, including all 15 crew on board, 27 Australians, and 12 Indonesians. Other nationalities so far identified were six passengers from the United Kingdom, four from Germany, four Belgians, three from the Philippines and one Canadian. There are still 47 dead whose nationality has not yet been confirmed, he added. THE REACTION President Obama, who was informed by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a phone call of reports of a downed passenger jet, asked that his advisers keep him updated. Boeing offered any assistance that authorities might request. Eurocontrol said Ukrainian authorities informed it that all air space in Eastern Ukraine has now been closed, and that any flight plans filed using these routes will be rejected by Eurocontrol until further notice.

WESTERNER DAYS
Food trucks flock to fairgrounds BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF The “Grub Hub” at Westerner Park Fair and Exposition isn’t just cooking up french fries and pumping liquid flavour onto shaved ice. Dozens of food trucks — many of them local — surround the food tent, offering everything from mac-ncheese to platefuls of perogies to slices of homemade pie. “The selection is definitely better than previous years,” said Tammy Maggiacomo, enjoying a Fu Manchu taco from The Stache food trailer with husband Chris and daughter Journey. “There’s healthier options, too. And it’s nice to see places we recognize from around the city.” Yolanda Infante, owner of Yolanda Infante’s Concessions, has been setting up shop for Westerner Days since the 1990s.

Cracked windshields, smoking transformers and flattened gardens are among the damage from a thunderstorm that stomped through Central Alberta and chased fairgoers off the grounds at Westerner Days on Thursday. In Red Deer, nervous eyes were focused on the skies shortly before 3 p.m., when Environment Canada issued a tornado watch in a region sweeping across from Eckville and Bowden, north to Ponoka and east to Stettler. No twisters had been spotted by 4 p.m., but people within the storm’s path were reporting some wild action, including huge and heavy hail across the region. Sandy Miller, a storm watcher who lives on an acreage west of Bowden, said she watched a small river flow through her yard and heard reports of destructive hail at various locations nearby. “It was like a monsoon rain. I just came down and then there was hail. But Sundre got the hail more than I did — they got really big hail. I didn’t get any damage. I heard a guy got his windshield cracked north of Airdrie from the hail, a lady in Sundre, her garden was destroyed, all her flowers,” Miller said at about 3:30 p.m. “They’re still building. Olds is going to get plummeted pretty quick here. I was watching the radar and they’ve got a big purple cloud coming in,” she said.

STORM: Lightning strikes caused brief power outages In Red Deer, crowds attending the second day of the Westerner Days fair headed for cover as a rain started to fall, accompanied by lightning strikes. Taller rides on the midway were shut down as a precaution, said fair manager Jim White. He announced that people still outside should take cover as light hail began to fall. By 4 p.m., the rain had died down and people were starting to head back outside, said White. Around Red Deer, lightning strikes caused brief power outages and one area just outside of the city took a bit longer to fix after a tree fell onto a power line. Jim Jorgensen, manager of the Electric, Light and Power Department, said the first alarms came in at about 3:16. His crews received reports of lightning strikes in a variety of areas, including the area immediately south of 32nd Street and Gaetz Avenue as well as near the intersection of Kerry Wood and Taylor Drives. The only lightning strike that seems to have caused any trouble was the 32nd Street strike, which crews were able to locate and repair fairly quickly, said Jorgensen. The city also provides power across Hwy 2 to customers in the Fort Normandeau area, where crews needed more time to restore power after a tree fell across some power lines, said Jorgensen. Environment Canada’s thunderstorm watch was ended just before 4 p.m., while the tornado watch remained in effect. The warnings come just over 14 years after a severe tornado ravaged the Pine Lake area, killing 12 people. Where there is potential for tornadoes, Environment Canada recommends people take cover inside a strong building on the lowest possible floor, away from outside walls and windows. The watch issued on Thursday suggested that dime-to-nickel-size hail could hit the area along with strong wind gusts and heavy rain. Forecasts issued for Red Deer today call for a sunny day with showers and a risk of thunderstorms in the afternoon and a daytime high of 21C. An air quality statement issued on Wednesday remains in effect. Environment Canada issued the statement for the Red Deer, Ponoka, Innisfail and Stettler areas after a smoky haze from northern fires moved into the region. The advisory noted poor air quality and reduced visibility in the area, and said people with respiratory and cardiovascular conditions should monitor their symptoms and consult a physician if they worsen. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com
FAIR: More than 20 local food vendors She said she’s pleased that more and more local food businesses are also getting involved with the annual fair. “It’s so nice to see people I know and I think that’s why people come to me — they know me. They recognize my face from the farmers’ market,” said Infante, 61, who also ran her concession for years at a local arena. She said when she first started selling her cuisine at Westerner Days, there was only one other local food vendor. Now there are over 20, including Peppermint Andy’s Ice Cream Wagon and Chedda’ Heads Grilled Cheese Truck. “I’m most known for my sautéed pork. People just love it,” said Infante, who also sells corn on a cob and tacos in a bag. Kasota East Camp has had a booth selling hamburgers, fries and homemade pies at the fair for the past 29 years and prides itself on its “family friendly prices,” said Judy-Ann Wybenga, a volunteer with the camp and self-described “chief executive boothmeister.” “It’s fun to be a part of the excitement,” she said, noting 250 volunteers man the booth over the five days and all proceeds go towards the summer Christian camp. “People come back every year for our double cheese burgers because we have a special secret sauce we use.” Award winning wraps are also available at Wrap Daddy’s food truck from Kelowna, B.C. “We just finished the Calgary Stampede where

Fairgoers run for shelter as rain pours down on the midway at the 2014 Westerner Fair and Exhibition Thursday afternoon. Severe thunderstorm warnings, as well as a tornado watch, were in effect, and the rides were closed for roughly half an hour until the rain subsided. our chicken Thai noodle wrap won best new midway food,” said owner Mike Morter. “We have a variety of gluten-free options, which we also won an award for at the Stampede for best alternative food option.” Wrap Daddy’s has been coming to Westerner Days for the past three years. “When we get here, customers tell me they’ve been waiting for me,” Morter said. “Our No. 1 is the chicken wrap, our original that comes with fresh stirfried chicken, topped with fresh signature tomato salsa that we make right here.” Westerner Days was a first for Lethbridge resident Ben Vaka and his Flyin’ Hawaiian food truck. “It’s great to have been invited to be here, great exposure,” said Vaka, who started his business, Hawaiian Treats, in January and has made a few appearances at the Red Deer Public Market. “We were Lethbridge’s first food truck and we’re booked right to December,” he said. “Our pina coladas are everyone’s pick but we have this treat that’s just flour and yeast and sugar and you dip it in a coconut dipping sauce.” Vaka is headed to Utah for a carnival after Westerner Days, then back up to Grande Prairie. The Flyin’ Hawaiian food truck is this year’s favourite for Erin Gobolos, marketing manager for Westerner Park. “I tasted their version of the mini doughnut — it has this Hawaiian twist to it — and it puts all other mini doughnuts to shame,” said Gobolos. Chowing down at the fair is “kind of like Christmas,” said Gobolos. “You can indulge in these things you only really get once a year like elephant ears.” Over 13,000 people passed through the gates at the fair on Wednesday, up by 477 from 2013, said Gobolos. Friday at Westerner Days: Rock bands Harlequin and Honeymoon Suite hit the ATB Financial Main Stage. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the shows kicks off at 8:30 p.m. Central Alberta singer Randi Boulton is also performing at the Lounge from 9 to 11 p.m. rfrancoeur@reddeeradvocate.com
PLANE: ‘Terrible tragedy’ In the first call, the security services said, rebel commander Igor Bezler tells a Russian military intelligence officer that rebel forces shot down a plane. In the second, two rebel fighters — one of them at the crash scene — say the rocket attack was carried out by a unit of insurgents about 25 kilometres (15 miles) north of the site. Neither recording could be independently verified. Earlier in the week, the rebels had claimed responsibility for shooting down two Ukrainian military planes. President Barack Obama called the crash a “terrible tragedy” and spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin as well as Poroshenko. Britain asked for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Ukraine. Later, Putin said Ukraine bore responsibility for the crash, but he didn’t address the question of who might have shot it down and didn’t accuse Ukraine of doing so. “This tragedy would not have happened if there were peace on this land, if the military actions had not been renewed in southeast Ukraine,” Putin said, according to a Kremlin statement issued early Friday. “And, certainly, the state over whose territory this occurred bears responsibility for this awful tragedy.” At the United Nations, Ukrainian Ambassador Yuriy Sergeyev told the AP that Russia gave the separatists a sophisticated missile system and thus Moscow bears responsibility, along with the rebels. Officials said more than half of those aboard the plane were Dutch citizens, along with passengers from Australia, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, the Philippines and Canada. The home countries of nearly 50 were not confirmed.

A3 Intersection work on schedule
FRIDAY, JULY 18, 2014
BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF The $20-million Taylor Drive and Ross Street facelift is right on schedule. In May, the City of Red Deer embarked on one of its biggest and most disruptive construction projects in recent years. Detour roads were constructed and streets closed as contract and city crews got down to business. When finished for the year in October, the Taylor Drive and Ross Street junction will be transformed into a system of three-legged intersections. City of Red Deer Engineering Services director Frank Colosimo said on Thursday that the old intersection was failing during peak hours and was only going to get worst. “We knew if we didn’t do anything to the intersection, we would likely have to do a couple of ugly things,” said Colosimo. “One was triple lane Taylor Drive Bridge because we would have to put in a triple left turn lane to accommodate all the northbound Taylor Drive traffic, which we didn’t want to do.” Colosimo said they hope by simplifying the intersection, there will be more greens for traffic in both directions on Taylor Drive. The project should also delay any conversation about adding lanes on Taylor Drive. Colosimo said the timing was right this year because of failing road surface, ongoing issues with capacity, development of Riverlands, lack of pedestrian crossings and growth of the city. Under the old four-legged scheme, motorists primarily would use the Ross Street to Taylor Drive route to travel north. An estimated 30,000 vehicles travel on Taylor Drive every day. The new and improved version will allow the free flow of travel in all directions. One of the biggest changes will be to 54th Avenue, which was part of the previous intersection. Motorists will no longer be able to travel east on Ross Street from 54th Avenue, but there will be access on and off Taylor Drive. A new three-metre asphalt pathway will align both sides of Taylor Drive as part of the project. Pedestrians will no longer have to backtrack or cross traffic illegally in order to move about in the area. Colosimo said they do not normally put sidewalks on the both sides of the road but because of the uniqueness of the area with heavy commercial use and planned redevelopment, they expect the demand for pedestrians on both sides. For the first time in the city, trees will be planted in the median on Taylor Drive from 45th Street to just before the bridge. Colosimo said this is something he hopes to see more of on the city’s arterial roads in future years. Connections to the soon-to-be-developed Riverlands, Railyards and Historic Downtown will also be in place.

City of Red Deer engineers Frank Colosimo and Wayne Gustafson ham it up on the site of the Taylor Drive project. The $20 million reconfiguration project is on schedule and on budget. It is expected to open in October. Colosimo said the city explored putting in a roundabout but concluded it would not work because of heavy traffic during peak hours. He said it would create an unbalanced flow and not give enough capacity during the non-peak hours. “It was never an option we could do,” said Colosimo. All the infrastructure will be wrapped up by October, including the installation of the new signal lights, sidewalks and roads. The landscaping will be completed next year. Between 20 and 50 city and contract workers are on the job every day. City engineer Wayne Gustafson said the project is on budget and on schedule.
“This road that we are using is a temporary bypass road, which is the old Ross (Street). End of August, beginning of September they are going to close that and they are going to open up the new Ross here and bring traffic into the bypass road using the new road. “What that will allow them to do to is finish works along that edge unimpeded. They will see a traffic pattern change when they move traffic onto this road to get them on the bypass road to allow them to do the work along that north edge,” Gustafson said. The public can stay up to date on the project by visiting www.reddeer.ca/constructionseason or calling the Taylor Drive hotline at 403-406-8796. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com
Public search in Calgary murder case ends after request from police
50964F30-G18
AIRDRIE — Organizers are calling off their civilian search for signs of a missing five-year-old boy and his grandparents after police said they no longer need the help. Matt Forseth had said the search would continue, despite a social media backlash, until investigators asked them to stop. Calgary police issued a news release Thursday afternoon that thanked the searchers for their efforts, but said that public assistance searching public property was not needed. Forseth said his group will respect the wishes of police. “We will cease our search,” Forseth said. The volunteers had been scouring rural areas near the community of Airdrie for any sign of Alvin and Kathy Liknes and their grandson, Nathan O’Brien, who disappeared in late June. Douglas Garland, who lived on an acreage near Airdrie, has been charged with three counts of murder, even though the bodies have not been found. Police said in their news release that they have a 30-day search plan that’s “intelligence driven.” They said the plan “cannot be shared outside of law enforcement in order to protect the integrity of the investigation.” They said the places they are searching have a “high likelihood of locating evidence.” Police are still asking landowners and businesses to check their properties for anything suspicious. “At this time we do not require assistance from the public in relation to searching public property, however we appreciate the outpouring of community support,” the release stated. Forseth said the volunteers hadn’t been searching areas where police were focused. He said they were staying off private property unless they were specifically invited by
landowners. While the police news release didn’t specifically ask the volunteers to stop, he said it seemed to suggest it. “It leans towards them having their plan in place and they don’t need the public,” he said. The group had called off the search Wednesday following negative social media comments. Forseth said the angry backlash came when a news report was posted on the group’s Facebook page that said police were upset with the volunteer search. “People were calling us media hounds, selfish, that we were looking to post selfies on Facebook,” Forseth said. “It became so overwhelming.” Forseth said organizers resumed it Thursday morning after more than 100 people showed up and pledged to keep looking anyway.

Scorching the competition Sometimes it’s just tough to toss out the old playbook. After all, the dog-eared tome has served so well, because it is now common knowledge that Michael Ignatieff didn’t come back for you and Stéphane Dion wasn’t a leader. So, surely, Justin Trudeau must be in over TIM his head. It has HARPER been decreed. The fact that this playbook is still being used means Conservatives, somewhere, somehow, must believe that this game is still worth pursuing and the desired results are out there. It is too early to suggest the tactics, widely derided, will not ultimately get the Conservatives to where they want to go. Conventional wisdom will tell you Trudeau is on the ascendancy and this is frightening Conservatives, as evidenced by their over-the-top torch jobs on his judgment and character. It is also becoming conventional wisdom that it is time for the Conservatives to change their strategy where the
INSIGHT
leader of the third party is concerned. That first part of conventional wisdom is true, at least when polling data and byelection results are crunched. The second part of that wisdom also appears grounded in reality, because if not exactly frightened, Conservatives certainly see a threat, given the attention the governing party lavishes on the man. But the third part of that equation may not be all it seems. What if the attacks are working, at least to the extent that Conservatives will have planted sufficient doubt about Trudeau’s judgment and ability to lead when Canadians really start paying attention next year and are, for the first time, viewing the Liberal leader as a potential prime minister? It is unwise to dismiss the strategy of proven winners and the Conservatives under Harper are the only proven winners among the three parties seeking to form the next government. Trudeau is a much tougher target than Ignatieff or Dion — he is the closest thing we have to a celebrity in politics — and this teardown exercise is obviously taking more time and effort. There is no denying the effort. Conservatives rush in with gasoline and a blowtorch at every stumble, real or imagined, seeking to turn a Trudeau spark into a conflagration. To be sure, the Liberal leader often provides the match.
Many of the attacks were reactions to words coming out of his mouth. He has been accused of being soft on terror, siding with terrorists, offering nothing of substance, admiring the Chinese government, making light of the situation in Ukraine, plotting to sell pot to children and waiting for the budget to balance itself. Television ads have delivered the hint of pixie dust on the screen. Even on the byelection night, in which Trudeau’s Liberals captured Toronto’s Trinity-Spadina riding and increased the party’s vote in three other ridings, Conservatives stubbornly hewed to their message, again claiming (somehow) he was “in over his head.” The latest salvo came this week when a Trudeau candidate in Mississauga was accused of attacking Israel on his Facebook page, proving, in the view of Richmond Hill Conservative Costas Menegakis, that Trudeau drew false equivalence between terrorist belligerents and a democracy defending itself. The candidate, Omar Alghabra, says he was merely expressing sympathy for innocent civilians on both sides of the Israeli-Hamas hostilities and Trudeau issued a statement on Tuesday condemning the Hamas rejection of a ceasefire. The Liberal statement mirrored the government stand, calling on Hamas terrorists to cease their rocket attacks
immediately. According to one published report this week, the Conservative Party of Canada spent $1.5 million on advertising in the past year to take down Trudeau. In ridings where he has been caricatured as a pot-selling stalker after our kids, the Liberal vote went up, but in politics, sadly, there is no such thing as over-the-top attacks or advertising. They might be mocked by pundits, but ever since George W. Bush rewrote John Kerry’s war record midcampaign a decade ago — a tactic now forever known as Swift Boating — we know there is no attack so audacious that it cannot stick if not aggressively repelled. Right now, the Conservative government looks shopworn, trapped in old thinking, lashing out at enemies and giving the back of its hand to critics. But the Trudeau offensive keeps an enemy on the minds of the faithful and helps the financial bottom line. We won’t know until next year whether the Trudeau gambit is a government going to the well once too often or walking a tried-and-true path. By his campaign performance, his need to find message discipline, rebut attacks and look substantive, Trudeau will provide the answer. Tim Harper is a syndicated Toronto Star national affairs writer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Golf coupon not honoured To my fellow 2014 Tee-Off Coupon Book users — beware! Yes, it is our very own, city-run River Bend Golf Course in Red Deer I am referring to. If you are like me and have purchased a 2014 TeeOff Coupon Book to receive discounted golf in and around the Central Alberta area, I just want to let you know that our very own River Bend Golf Course in Red Deer (on Page 114) is no longer honoring their “unrestricted” (25 per cent off, one to four players) offer. I decided to write this letter because earlier in the 2014 golf season, River Bend was honouring the 2014 Tee-Off Coupon Book as presented — three times for me, in fact. Then on July 11, when we were checking in at the pro shop, the staff informed us that they are only honouring the 2014 Tee-Off coupon Monday through Wednesday, the same as the Canada Golf Card; because they said it was the same coupon. Then they said River Bend Golf Course was not even supposed to be in the 2014 Tee-Off Coupon Book. I found this comment strange as well; this is basic advertising 101. Proofs have to be accepted as such in order to be placed in the book. Otherwise, notice of corrections are also included/posted at the retail outlets. River Bend had not posted any notice of corrections on July 11, when we were there. We informed them that they were in the book with no restrictions on days or time of use. From the attitude of the response, I am sure we were not the first or only ones using this great coupon book for discounted golf at River Bend. The bottom line is that they were not going to budge — that was that. So we reluctantly paid the full fee so we could golf. Afterwards, we made numerous attempts to try to communicate with the management person who made this decision at River Bend, without any luck. We were unable to communicate with Andrew Gilchrist (general manager). So they, golf pro Todd Fiske and staff, are only going to honour the Tee-Off Coupon from Monday to Wednesdays. Todd is claiming that it is the same promotions or advertising as the 2014 Golf Canada Card. But the Golf Canada Card and the 2014 Tee-Off Coupon book are not the same promotion. Even as of July 15, there is no notice of correction under their Important Information and Notices section on the Golf Rates tab on River Bend’s website. Will River Bend honour their advertised promotion? Has anyone else had this problem? Jane White Red Deer
Licence plate change a waste of money Leave the Alberta licence plate alone. We don’t need a change for change sake. Why so big on change? Like the bike trails that were not asked about, not told about, but got the hike on our land tax bill. We always end up playing for things we can live without. Like the infamous Ross Street/Little Gaetz Avenue — an eyesore. Took away road space for cars and it was built for cars (not bikes), plus parking on 49th Street and Ross. No, not the licence plates. That’s provincial — you need a vote to pass this, it’s a government department, not city. PS: Health care is provincial, not city. We pay too much now, no beds means no worker is there to care.

Strong value system is key Where are our values? Many news items I read leave me with the question: “What were these people thinking when they spoke or acted in that objectionable manner?” It is clear that significant values are mislaid or gone askew in the upbringing and the consciousness in the conduct of many. How does a person decide what is worth pursuing in their life? We are unable to answer this question unless we know what values are. These virtues are the essence of what we think are most important in the way we live and work. These values should define our priorities, and way down, they are probably the measures you enlist to tell us if our life is turning out the way you want it to. Thus, what is relevant to you depends on your values. These values are the virtues that guide your conduct. In fact, it is often difficult to understand or accept where a person with very different values to our own is coming from. Problems in communications and conflicts between people occur because differences in values often lead to that. When someone holds values that are different from ours, agreeing to disagree can save us a lot of irritation and prevents many arguments. Values are spiritual and strongly held beliefs and principals about what is right or wrong, good or bad, important and unimportant, what should and shouldn’t be. A real value system develops strong character. At times, we discover someone who exhibits beauty inside and outwardly. However, the real beauty is the role we hold within ourselves. Outward beauty is reliant merely upon the generosity of our parents. When the life we live, the things that we do and our behaviour match these values, life is usually

A life in contravention to our values can become a bona fide basis of discontent. What is it, in the works; the rock/paper/scissors focus on our values and in developing a person’s inner strength, with time to think; the opportunity for continued learning and development is within us all? Every one of us, including me, must make certain that we can find a path that ensures we follow a healthy value system. All this is so refreshing and intoxicating and so different, this and all the other very worthy personal developments establish that our great life starts here!

Duffy charged RCMP ALLEGE SENATOR COMMITTED FRAUD, BREACH OF TRUST AND BRIBERY
Key developments in history of the Senate expenses saga OTTAWA — The RCMP have laid charges of fraud and breach of trust against suspended senator Mike Duffy. Here is an updated timeline of events in the Senate expenses scandal:

Conservative Senator Mike Duffy leaves Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, in a June 6, 2013. cover expenses. The behaviour outlined in the RCMP charges against Duffy is “disgraceful,” a Harper spokesman said Thursday. “We assisted the RCMP throughout their investigation, and congratulate them on the progress they have made,” Jason MacDonald said in a statement. “Those who break the rules must suffer the consequences. The conduct described in the numerous charges against Mr. Duffy is disgraceful.” “As this is now a criminal matter that is before the courts, we have nothing further to add.” The opposition, meanwhile, blamed the charges on Harper, who named Duffy to the red chamber in 2009. “These charges and the scandal stem from the poor judgment of the prime minister,” said New Democrat MP Nycole Turmel.
“The buck stops with Stephen Harper.” Liberal MP Marc Garneau echoed the criticism. “These charges are extremely serious,” Garneau said. “Mike Duffy is a legislator in Canada’s Parliament and the prime minister of this country is the one who put him there.” “Throughout this entire PMO ethics scandal, the prime minister has tried to evade responsibility.” The charges cover more than $200,000 in allegedly phoney expenses, Michaud said. They include money the P.E.I. senator claimed for living expenses on what he said was a secondary residence in Ottawa, as well as expenses he charged for travel on personal or political business. The bribery charge covers the $90,000 payment from Wright.
Duffy a wrench in the political works for Harper will try to keep Harper in the scandal’s orbit. If Duffy’s dramatic public denunciations of Harper and his closest officials on the floor of the Senate last fall are any indication, the former broadcaster will not hold anything back in defending himself. “It will all come out in due course when all of the players are under oath and the email chain can be seen in its entirety,” Duffy foreshadowed during his speech on Oct. 22. Duffy’s lawyer, Donald Bayne, has also exhibited a certain elan in defending his client publicly, suggesting the blame lies with Conservative officials and senators. Duffy has alleged he was threatened and coerced by the prime minister’s office and Conservative senators into repaying $90,000 worth of contested Senate living expenses, even though he felt he had not broken any rules. “To date, Sen. Duffy has never had a fair hearing, either in the Senate or in the media,” Bayne said in a statement late Wednesday. “We are confident that when the full story is told, as it will be, and shown to be supported by many forms of evidence, it will be clear that Sen. Duffy is innocent of any criminal wrong-doing.”

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper has a new political opponent to contend with heading into the 2015 election, one that has the potential to inflict more significant damage than Tom Mulcair or Justin Trudeau. Former Conservative Sen. Mike Duffy will have his day in court on 31 charges ranging from bribery to breach of trust in relation to a host of alleged misuses of public funds. The legal machinations could very well unfold in the run-up to the federal election scheduled for the fall of next year, keeping the details alive in the headlines. Duffy’s first court date is scheduled for the day after Parliament reopens in September. The speed of the ensuing trial will have political strategists making their calculations. How much Harper knew about the clandestine $90,000 payment made by his former chief of staff Nigel Wright to Duffy to cover his contested Senate expenses is likely to come up. The lead RCMP investigator has said he “is not aware of any evidence that the prime minister was involved.”
That likely wouldn’t dissuade the defence from making a very public attempt to have Harper testify, nor would the fact that the courts are reluctant to call prime ministers while Parliament is sitting. Others, including Harper’s former leader in the Senate, Marjory LeBreton, the current Conservative Fund chairman Irving Gerstein, the PM’s former legal counsel and other close aides including Wright could also figure prominently in the legal to-and-fro. The details of how Duffy was called upon to campaign alongside Conservative candidates during the 2011 election, while allegedly claiming expenses from both the party and the Senate, will also be laid out. The situation is reminiscent of the one faced by Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin, who contended with the fallout from the sponsorship scandal and a federal inquiry during the 2004 and 2006 elections. Harper now, like Martin then, says he had no knowledge of the scheme at the heart of the scandal. An important factor in Harper’s favour is that the RCMP did not lay charges against Wright. Still, both Duffy and the opposition

June 13, 2012: Auditor general Michael Ferguson releases a study of Senate expense claims; in some cases Senate administration didn’t have the right documents to support claims for travel and living expenses. Nov. 21, 2012: Senate committee asked to examine housing allowance for Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau, who lists a home in Maniwaki, Que., as his primary residence despite appearing to live full-time within a 100-kilometre radius of Ottawa. Dec. 3, 2012: Similar questions raised about Conservative Sen. Mike Duffy, who claims a primary residence in P.E.I. despite being a longtime Ottawa resident. Feb. 13, 2013: The date Duffy says he meets Harper and Wright after a Conservative caucus meeting. Harper tells Duffy he must repay questioned housing expenses. “The prime minister agreed I had not broken the rules but insisted I pay the money back, money I didn’t owe, because the Senate’s rules are, in his words, ’inexplicable to our base,”’ Duffy says. Mar. 22, 2013: Duffy obtains a loan for $91,600 from the Royal Bank. He then pays $80,000 on his line of credit. Mar. 25, 2013: Wright sent a bank draft for $90,172.24 to the office of Duffy’s lawyer. Mar. 26, 2013: $90,172.24 was transferred to Duffy’s RBC bank account, and his cheque for $90,172.24 was delivered to Sen. Tkachuk. The cheque cleared Duffy’s bank on Mar. 28. April 19, 2013: Duffy confirms he has repaid more than $90,000 in Senate housing expenses. “I have always said that I am a man of my word. In keeping with the commitment I made to Canadians, I can confirm that I repaid these expenses in March 2013.” May 15, 2013: The Prime Minister’s Office confirms that Wright personally footed the bill for Duffy’s housing expenses because Duffy couldn’t make a timely payment. May 16, 2013: Duffy resigns from Conservative caucus. July 4, 2013: Media reports say RCMP investigators allege that the Conservative party had planned to repay Duffy’s improperly claimed living expenses, but balked when the bill turned out nearly three times higher than expected. Oct. 8, 2013: RCMP alleges Duffy awarded $65,000 in Senate contracts to Gerald Donahue, a friend and former TV technician, who did little actual work for the money. Oct. 17, 2013: Claude Carignan, the government’s new leader in the Senate, introduces motions to suspend Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau from the Senate. The motions call for the three to be stripped of their pay, benefits and Senate resources. Oct. 21, 2013: Duffy’s lawyer, Donald Bayne, alleges Harper’s staff and key Conservative senators behind a scheme to have Duffy take the fall for wrongdoing that they agreed he had not committed. Oct. 22, 2013: In an explosive speech in the Senate chamber, Duffy accuses Harper’s office of orchestrating a ”monstrous fraud” aimed at snuffing out controversy over his expenses. Duffy accuses the prime minister of being more interested in appeasing his Conservative base than the truth. Oct. 28, 2013: Duffy delivers again, this time saying the Conservative party made arrangements to cover his $13,560 legal bill. “The PMO — listen to this — had the Conservative party’s lawyer, Arthur Hamilton, pay my legal fees,” Duffy says. He also casts doubt on whether Wright actually paid the $90,000: “I have never seen a cheque from Nigel Wright.” Nov. 5, 2013: Senators finally vote to suspend Brazeau, Duffy and Wallin without pay for the remainder of the parliamentary session, a duration that could last two years. July 17, 2014: The RCMP charge Duffy with 31 counts of fraud, breach of trust and bribery.

OTTAWA — With his folksy style and passion for politics, Mike Duffy became a household name as a veteran television journalist — a career that led him to a coveted Conservative seat in Parliament’s upper chamber. All that came crashing down Thursday — at least for the foreseeable future — as the RCMP laid 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery against the suspended senator. The charges involve Duffy’s claims for living expenses, claims for travel expenses unconnected with Senate business and fraudulent contracts, said RCMP Assistant Commissioner Gilles Michaud. They also cover a $90,000 payment Duffy allegedly received from Nigel Wright, the prime minister’s former chief of staff. Convictions on the charges could result in a prison sentence. The bribery count carries a maximum of 14 years. Duffy’s first court appearance is set for Sept. 16, the day after Parliament is scheduled to resume. When the full story is told, it will be clear Duffy is innocent of any criminal wrongdoing, said his lawyer, Donald Bayne. “Those — including many in the media — who have been so eager and quick over the past year and a half to malign and even libel Sen. Duffy without his ever having had a fair hearing, should slow down their rush to judgment and let fair process determine this matter.” The charges reignited a smoldering scandal over Senate expenses that has also ensnared Conservatives Patrick Brazeau and Pamela Wallin — now suspended Independents — as well as Liberal Mac Harb, who resigned. Prime Minister Stephen Harper appointed Duffy, Brazeau and Wallin to the Senate but has tried to distance himself from their actions and those of Wright, who gave Duffy the $90,000 to

Our enemy is only those shooting rockets into Israel, trying to kill our people. In many ways the people of Gaza are also a victim of this terrible Hamas regime,” he said.

Hamas has since assembled thousands of rockets and built a system of underground bunkers. While the ultimate scale of Israel’s ambition remained unclear, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had come under growing domestic pressure to ratchet up Israel’s response to rocket fire that 10 days of airstrikes had failed to stem. Israel has little stomach for the scale of casualties that a takeover of Gaza would likely entail, but Israeli public opinion appears to be nearly at a breaking point over the rockets.
GAZA, Gaza Strip — The heavy thud of tank shells, often just seconds apart, echoed across the Gaza Strip early Friday as thousands of Israeli soldiers launched a ground invasion, escalating a 10-day campaign of heavy air bombardments to try to destroy Hamas’ rocket-firing abilities and the tunnels militants use to infiltrate Israel. Flares lit up the night sky before dawn and the wail of ambulance sirens mixed with the Muslim call to prayer from mosque loudspeakers as thick smoke rose into the air from sites where shells and missiles struck. “There is a tank shell every minute,” said an official in the Gaza security operations room, who said all of the seaFRIDAY, JULY 18 TO THURSDAY, JULY 24 side strip’s border areas were being shelled and that Hamas fighters were exchanging fire with Israeli troops near a northern Gaza town. “There is also fire from the sea toward police checkpoints.” Israel launched the offensive late Thursday after becoming increasingly exasperated with unrelenting rocket fire from Gaza on its cities, especially following Hamas’ rejection of an Egyptian cease-fire plan earlier in the week. Palestinian militants have fired more than 1,500 rockets at Israeli cities since fighting began. However, a ground offensive could quickly lead to military and political entanglements for Israel, especially if more Palestinian civilians are killed. More than 240 Palestinians have already died in the air campaign, including 14 children under age 12 killed over the past two days, according to Palestinian health officials. One Israeli has also died. Hamas struck a defiant tone. A spokesman, Fawzi Barhoum, said Israel “will pay dearly” for the assault. “Hamas is ready for a confrontation,” he said. The Israeli operation began around 10 p.m. Thursday, with what the military said was an open-ended assault to be carried out on several Prices as ticketed. fronts. “Large ground forces accompanied by massive air force support, naval forces and intelligence, are taking over targets in Gaza, operating against tunnels and terror activists and infrastructure,” said chief military spokesman Brig.

Two people in Florida have domestically acquired chikungunya infections, officials said Thursday. In both cases, they said, a person infected with the virus after visiting the Caribbean was then bitten again by an uninfected mosquito in Florida, which then transmitted the illness further.

STOCKTON, Calif. — A gang of U.S. bank robbers who took three women hostage during their getaway attempt and waged a deadly, high-speed gunbattle with police were heavily armed, had ammunition magazines taped or strapped to their bodies and intended to kill, police said Thursday. Two of the robbers were killed Wednesday along with a hostage who police said was used by the only surviving suspect, 19-year-old Jaime Ramos, as a shield. Prosecutors anticipate charging Ramos with murder and special circumstances including kidnapping, robbery and burglary that could make him eligible for the death penalty. “In my over two decades of law enforcement I have never seen or experienced this type of total disregard for human life,” Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said.

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday if she decides to run for the White House in 2016 she will have “a very specific agenda” but acknowledged in an interview that the modern role of U.S. president has “gotten even bigger and more difficult.” Clinton said in an interview with PBS’s Charlie Rose that her final decision will be “wholly personal” and does not want to decide until after she becomes a grandmother later this year. “If I decide to run, I will have a very specific agenda about what I think we should be doing. But right now, we have a big election, midterms 2014, that could determine the control of the Senate,” Clinton said. “And I’m not going to, you know, jump the line and start talking about 2016 right now.” Clinton leads Democratic presidential primary polls by wide margins but has not yet decided whether to run for president again. Her comments came as some Democrats have expressed hope that she will begin laying out a more specific vision for how she might lead the country if elected.
NY attorney: Government rushing trial for ‘terminally ill’ client NEW YORK — A New York lawyer says the government is rushing to bring to trial a terminally ill Libyan man it says helped orchestrate the 1998 deadly bombings of two U.S. embassies. Attorney Bernard Kleinman filed papers Thursday in Manhattan federal court objecting to the government’s handling of Abu Anas alLibi’s case. He says the government is rushing al-Libi’s trial by opposing its severance from a co-defendant’s trial. He says the approach is odd since the government also is suggesting Kleinman could be disqualified depending on how it is determined he is being paid. Kleinman says his client should be at any hearing stemming from the dispute. Al-Libi is charged in attacks that killed 240 people, including a dozen Americans. Prosecutors did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Another evacuation order issued in B.C. FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — There was relief Thursday for hundreds of weary residents forced from their homes in northeastern British Columbia, as rain dampened a raging wildfire enough for officials to lift an evacuation order for the district of Hudson’s Hope. But as one evacuation order was lifted, another was issued for several neighbourhoods in West Kelowna, B.C. A small fire on the edge of the neighbourhood bloomed from a patch to more than 30 hectares in size in a few hours over Thursday afternoon. Central Okanagan Emergency Operations reported the evacuation involves roughly 1,500 people from 585 homes. The agency initially reported one home and an outbuilding had been lost, but revised that assessment, saying none were destroyed thanks to the efforts of helicopter crews.

Former priest granted bail after appealing conviction for sexual assault WINNIPEG — A former Orthodox priest convicted of sexually assaulting an altar boy spent just over a week behind bars before being freed on bail until his appeal is heard. Seraphim Storheim was convicted of sexual assault early this year and sentenced last week to eight months in jail for an assault dating back almost 30 years. His lawyer Jeff Gindin immediately appealed the conviction and sentence, arguing the judge came to the wrong conclusion when he didn’t find Storheim’s account credible. Gindin argued Thursday his client should be released on bail until the appeal is heard because he poses no threat to society. If Storheim had not been granted bail, Gindin said it’s possible he would have served the bulk of his sentence before his appeal was heard. Justice Diana Cameron of Manitoba’s Court of Appeal agreed that was likely — even if the appeal moves quickly. “It’s entirely conceivable he would have served out his sentence before a decision was rendered by this court,” she said. Storheim, now 68, showed no emotion as he was granted bail and told he could not be alone with a child under the age of 18 as a condition of his release. The Crown opposed bail, arguing Storheim has been found guilty of an egregious offence and it would send the wrong message to release him immediately following his conviction.

“A home and an outbuilding that was shrouded in smoke and previously thought lost in the blaze was saved by helicopter bucketing crews,” a release from the operations centre said. Kayla Pepper of the Wildfire Management Branch said the provincial agency is battling the flames alongside members of West Kelowna Fire Rescue. “Currently there are 14 firefighters fighting this fire along with assistance from the West Kelowna fire department,” she said. “In addition to our ground crews, we have helicopters and air tankers working to suppress this fire.” Pepper said the cause of the wildfire is not yet known, and the flames are burning on a hillside covered by grass and trees. Environment Canada reported cloudy skies, winds of up to 18 kilometres an hour and temperatures of 31 C in the Okanagan city Thursday afternoon. Evacuees were being told to report to the emergency reception centre at the Lakeview Heights Baptist Church in West Kelowna. About 1,100 kilometres north of that fire, residents
returned to Hudson’s Hope after an anxious and sleepless night. However they remained on evacuation alert and were warned to be ready to leave again at a moment’s notice. “Thankfully, due to the cooling weather and rain that we received, it tamed the fire enough that we don’t think it poses an imminent threat,” said Laurel Grimm, spokeswoman for the district. A lightning strike sparked the fire on Mount McAllister, south of the community in the Peace River valley. Whipped by the wind in what has been deemed the driest summer in B.C. for more than half a century, the blaze quickly grew to more than 200-square kilometres.

He previously said in a handful of interviews that he couldn’t guarantee he won’t relapse, only that he’s taking his recovery one day at a time. But he was more declarative Thursday when asked when the last time was that he drank or did drugs. “A lot of people really wish that I’m going to fail, that I’m going to drink and that I’m going to do drugs,” Ford said. “Unfortunately, that wish will not come true. That wish, guaranteed, will not come true because I’m as sober as a judge and I’m moving forward, running this city and saving taxpayers money.” Ford said he knows people are watching his every move, and that they should continue doing so because his “biggest move” will be on Oct. 27, when he believes he will be re-elected as mayor. A sobriety coach who had been trailing the mayor for about two weeks has moved on to helping other people, Ford said, suggesting he will fare well on his own.
importance. And it also helps, incidentally, the space industries that we have here in Canada.” The Canadian Space Agency and technology company MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates have been designing the OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter since 2008. The latest funding commitment — which is part of a planned $61 million for the project over 15 years — will allow the Canadian scanning system to be constructed in preparation for an American-led NASA mission, which will blast off in late 2016 and reach the asteroid Bennu in late 2018. Once there, it will spend eight months studying the asteroid’s geology to help scientists select a site from which to collect a sample. The spacecraft will then approach the surface of the asteroid and, without landing, will use a robotic arm to collect at least 60 grams of material from its surface. The asteroid sample is expected to return to Earth by 2023, at which time Canada will get to own four per cent of it, giving Canadian scientists their first-ever direct access to an asteroid sample brought from space.
Ottawa pledges funding for key Canadian component in asteroid-bound mission TORONTO — Canada is moving ahead with building a key component for a space mission that will explore an asteroid and eventually bring a piece of it back to Earth. With the help of $8.84 million in funding announced by the federal government on Thursday, construction is set to begin on the OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter — a mapping system that will create 3D maps of the asteroid Bennu. “This is really groundbreaking for space exploration,” said Treasury Board president Tony Clement, who presented details of the project in Toronto. “It means we’ll have a better understanding of the origins of the solar system and of course that helps us understand many things, including our environment, including the mineral composition of bodies outside of the Earth and so it’s of historic scientific

Magnitude-6.0 earthquake hits near Yukon-Alaska border WHITEHORSE — A magnitude-6.0 earthquake rattled parts of Yukon early Thursday morning. The earthquake was recorded just before 5 a.m. along the Yukon-Alaska border. The U.S. Geological Survey placed the epicentre on the Alaska side of the border about 300 kilometres west of Whitehorse. An earthquake report on Natural Resources Canada’s website said the quake was felt in Whitehorse and surrounding areas. The quake was enough to wake up Hardy Ruf, whose home near Haines Junction, Yukon, is about 200 kilometres east of the epicentre. “We woke up and the house was shaking and the lamp was swinging from one side to another above our heads,” said Ruf, 60, who runs the Dalton Trail Lodge. Ruf said he didn’t notice any damage. Earthquakes are not unusual in the region. Ruf said he feels about one or two a year.

Eskimos stay perfect BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Eskimos 26, Blue Bombers 3 WINNIPEG — It was a tough night for both quarterbacks but Mike Reilly and the Edmonton Eskimos still claimed sole possession of first place in the CFL West with a commanding 26-3 win over Drew Willy and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night. Both quarterbacks were sacked four times each but Willy had trouble even getting a first down until late in the first half when, down 10-0, he got close enough for Liram Hajrullahu to connect for a field goal. Despite three sacks in that half alone, Reilly managed a couple of drives that ended in Grant Shaw field goals. Shaw added another two more in the fourth quarter. But Edmonton’s only touchdown in almost 50 minutes of football came from the defence on a first-quarter interception, carried in by former Bomber bad boy Odell Willis. Reilly finally connected with A.J. Guyton with a 13-yard throw to make it 20-3 with about 10 minutes left in the game for the first touchdown by the offence. The Eskimos are now 4-0 while Winnipeg falls to 3-1. The crowd at Investors Group Field also topped 30,000 for the first time this season

Edmonton Eskimos’ quarterback Mike Reilly (13) goes for the first down against Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ Louie Richardson (52) during the first half of CFL action in Winnipeg Thursday. with 30,976 in attendance. Willis, who now holds down an end on Edmonton’s defensive line, intercepted Willy to
score Edmonton’s first touchdown just over six minutes into the game. Reilly put together his first
sustained drive in the second quarter but despite several tries, aided by a penalty, couldn’t get it into the end
zone and Edmonton had to settle for a field goal to make it 10-0. The same thing happened late in the second quarter to make it 13-0. The Bomber offence had hardly touched the ball until Nic Grigsby gave them a first down with just over two minutes left in the quarter. Willy followed with a 50-yard throw to Clarence Denmark but he was sacked on the next play and Denmark couldn’t hold it in the end zone on a touchdown try, forcing Winnipeg to settle for a field goal. There were brief signs of life before the half ended with Grigsby moving the ball to Edmonton’s 20 on his final 28-yard catch with the clock running out. The numbers still looked bad for the Bombers. Edmonton had possession for 20:26 in the first half, compared with just 9:34 for Winnipeg and the Bombers had the ball for just 3:19 in the second quarter, most of that in the final minutes. Willy completed just six of 16 passes in the first half but he managed 94 yards thanks to Denmark’s 50-yard catch. Reilly completed 10 of 19 for 100 yards. Reilly was sacked three times in the first half alone, Willy once.

McIlroy leads after day one TIGER WOODS RETURNS WITH PROMISE AT ROYAL LIVERPOOL BRITISH OPEN BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOYLAKE, England — Rory McIlroy had everything go his way Thursday in the British Open. A lovely summer day in England with abundant sunshine and minimal wind allowed him to attack Royal Liverpool. He made half his six birdies on the par 5s and kept bogeys off his card. And on the day Tiger Woods made a promising return, McIlroy took the lead with a 6-under 66, his best score in nearly two years at a major. Now if he can only find a way to get to the weekend. McIlroy either set himself up for a good run at the claret jug or another dose of Friday failures. In what already has been an unusual year for golf, no trend is more mysterious than Boy Wonder going from awesome to awful overnight. Six times in his last eight tournaments, he has had a nine-hole score of 40 or higher on Friday that has taken him
out of the mix. “It’s not like I’ve shot good scores in first rounds and haven’t backed them up before,” McIlroy said. “I’m used to doing that. I just haven’t done it recently. We’ll see what tomorrow brings and what weather it is and try and handle it as best I can. “Hopefully,” he said, “it’s just one of those things and I’m able to turn it around tomorrow.” Woods also would like to keep moving in the right direction. He got off to a troubling start with two quick bogeys, nearly made another one on the fourth hole, and then looked like a 14-time major champion when he ran off five birdies in six holes toward the end of his round for a 69. Not bad for guy who had back surgery March 31, who started taking full swings only a month ago and who had not played in a major in 11 months. “It felt good to be back out there competing again,” Woods said. Such pristine weather — how long it lasts is the big unknown — gave just about everyone a chance to score.

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland plays out of a bunker on the 16th hole during the first day of the British Open Golf championship at the Royal Liverpool golf club, Hoylake, England, Thursday. Matteo Manassero broke par in The Open for the first time since he was a 16-year-old amateur. He began his round by hitting into a pot bunker, blasting out to the fairway and holing out from 160 yards for
birdie. He made five birdies on the back nine, three on the par 5s. That made him low Italian — barely. Francesco Molinari and Edoardo Molinari have games that are nothing alike, though
they shot the same score. They were in a large group at 68 along with Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, Brooks Koepka, Shane Lowry and Adam Scott.

WESTERNER TRACK
A soggy track made for slower times during the second performance of the North American Pony Chuckwagon Championship Thursday at Westerner Park, but didn’t bother veteran Lee Adamson. The Camrose driver crossed the finish line aboard the A-1 Rentals wagon with the evening’s fastest time — one minute, 20.60 seconds. Coupled with his time of 1:19.98 Wednesday, Adamson has a total clocking of 2:40.58 and will take nearly a second lead over first-day leader Keith Wood of Saddle Lake into today’s third running. Wood, the defending and eight-time North American champ, came from behind to win Heat 13 in 1:21.47 on the Westock Frame and Wheel Alignment rig out of Red Deer and has a total time of 2:41.37. Sitting third after two runnings is Neil Salmond of Niton Junction, whose time of 1:22.09 aboard the Uncle Ben’s RV outfit from Red Deer Thursday gave him a total clocking of 2:42.31. In fourth place is
Louis Johner of Mayerthorpe (1:21.89 Thursday on the Red Deer Paradise RV wagon, 2:42.47 total), while Curtis Hogg of Sedgewick is fifth with a time of 2:42.91 aboard the Kellough Enterprises rig out of Red Deer after crossing the line in 1:22.48 Thursday.

CFL: Bombers had better possession Both threw just one interception in the first half although Willy’s was costly. The Bombers had better possession numbers in the third quarter but still couldn’t translate that into points and they didn’t managed a first down in the fourth. Penalties hurt them again although Edmonton also suffered in that regard, taking almost twice as many. Notes: The last time an unbeaten Winnipeg and Edmonton tussled for first in the West early in the season was in 1961. Edmonton won that game but Winnipeg went on to win the Grey Cup. ... Zach Anderson had two of Winnipeg’s four sacks and picked up what initially looked like a fumble deep in Edmonton turf on Thursday, although it was ruled down by contact. Willie Jefferson had two of Edmonton’s four sacks.
MCILROY: Scott stands out Scott stands out as the No. 1 player in the world, and because he was the only player in the top 10 who played in the afternoon when the wind made Hoylake tougher. Scott went out in 31 and was slowed only by two bogeys on the back nine. Even in tame conditions, the British Open can mete out punishment — to
players, to spectators and even a golf club. Phil Mickelson was trying to get back to even par when he hooked his approach to the 18th beyond the outof-bounds stakes down the right side of the hole and had to scramble for a bogey and a 74. He hasn’t broken par at a major since winning at Muirfield last summer. That still doesn’t top the bad day of Ernie Els. His opening tee shot hit a spectator in the face, and the sight of so much blood shook the Big Easy. When he got to the green, he missed a 1-foot putt, and then carelessly tried to back-hand the next one into the hole and missed that one. The triple bogey sent him to a 79. Henrik Stenson knocked a 30-foot birdie putt off the 12th green and made double bogey, and then took two hacks out of the shin-high grass left of the 17th fairway. Walking to his next shot, he snapped his gap wedge over his thigh like a baseball player — Bo Jackson comes to mind — who had just struck out with the bases loaded. Through all this activity, two names came to the forefront — McIlroy and Woods, both trying to restore their games from different circumstances. McIlroy’s only victory this year was at the BMW PGA Championship, where he started his week by breaking off his engagement with Caroline Wozniacki. He could have had more chances to win except for that 40 on the front nine at Quail Hollow, the 42 on the front nine at The Players Championship and the 43 on the back nine at the Memorial.

SYLVANIA, Ohio — Laura Diaz got off to a surprising start at the Marathon Classic. Diaz shot a 9-under 62 for a fourstroke lead in Thursday’s opening round. U.S. Open champion Michelle Wie shot a 2-over 73, 2008 Marathon winner Paula Creamer was at 72 along with another perennial contender at Highland Meadows, Morgan Pressel. The defending champion, Spain’s Beatriz Recari, and the world’s No. 1-ranked player, Stacy Lewis, a Toledo native, were well down the list at 1 under. “I definitely didn’t have my best out there,” Lewis said. Diaz sure did. “I’m very happy to shoot 62; I would be lying if I said I wasn’t,” she said. “It’s nice to get a good feeling after round one. To see the ball going in the hole, I think that’s always a boost.” Despite being winless in the past 12 years on the LPGA Tour, she stunned the field by birdieing her first five holes in a round that included nine birdies and no bogeys. She made a 30-footer on her fifth hole, the 14th. Then she stepped back and enjoyed the moment. “I kind of chuckled to myself — well, out loud,” she said. She had a chance at tying her career best of six consecutive birdies, but missed a 7-footer on the next hole. She added four more birdies the rest of the way to grab the big lead. Diaz, who won twice in 2002 and played on four U.S. Solheim Cup teams, has cut back on her competitive schedule in recent years while raising her two young children with her husband, Kevin Diaz. She hasn’t finished inside the top 25 in a tour event since 2010. But she has regained a bit of her touch the past two outings, tying for 49th at the U.S. Women’s Open at Pine-

Stamps set to take on Ticats CALGARY PUTS UNBEATEN RECORD TO THE TEST AGAINST WINLESS HAMILTON SQUAD BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The unbeaten Calgary Stampeders appear to have a favourable matchup this Friday when they host a winless Hamilton Tiger-Cats team missing its starting quarterback, but middle linebacker Juwan Simpson is taking nothing for granted. “Everybody asks us if we’re going to take this game lightly and we can’t because it’s the field of unknown,” said Simpson in regards to the Ticats (02), who will be without several key starters including quarterback Zach Collaros. Jeremiah Masoli will make his first career CFL start at quarterback for the Ticats in place of Collaros, who’s out of the lineup with head and back injuries after being flattened by a helmet hit to the chin by Eskimos linebacker Odell Willis in the second quarter of Hamilton’s 28-24 road loss to Edmonton on July 4. “I don’t feel like I’m just being thrown in there,” said Masoli, who’s in his second CFL season. “I’ve been preparing for this for a while now. I feel prepared and confident.” Hamilton coach Kent Austin has confidence that Masoli can get the job done. “He’s excited,” Austin said. “We have really high expectations for our quarterbacks like other teams do, and Jeremiah knows that and understands that and he embraces that. It’s not like he hasn’t been in big situations before. He’s a pretty laid back player and has a great perspective. He’s very endearing to his teammates.” Masoli took over for Collaros in Edmonton and completed 5-of-15 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown to go with three turnovers — an interception and two fumbles. “He had a tough outing, but he’s a very accurate thrower, can move in the pocket, has good vision down the field, can extend plays - all the things you want in a quarterback,” said Calgary coach and general manager John Hufnagel. “They do have changes especially at the quarterback position, but they have done creative things with their quarterbacks in the past and they’ve substituted in and out.” Hufnagel praised his defensive co-ordinator Rich Stubler for doing his homework to prepare the Stamps (2-0) for whatever the Ticats will throw at them. “He’s tried to prepare the football team defensively to see all kinds of things,” Hufnagel said. “You just have to play your scheme and react to what they present to you.” Both teams have key injuries as Hamilton will be without linebackers Simoni Lawrence and Rico Murray along with left tackle Joel Figueroa (all lower body), while running back Jon Cornish is still out of Calgary’s lineup with a concussion along with linebacker Deron Mayo (groin strain), defensive back Keon Raymond (thigh bruise) and receiver Maurice Price (broken hand). “You just fill in and reload,” Simpson said. “When you get to this level, everybody’s capable no matter how deep you go on the depth chart.

Bills set to open training camp after GM Whaley’s aggressive off-season rebuilding approach ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — General manager Doug Whaley likes using a baseball analogy when discussing his all-in approach to transforming the Buffalo Bills. Rather than play it safe, Whaley prefers going for home runs. Whaley’s swing-for-the-fences philosophy is evident in the new-look offence the Bills will unveil Sunday, when they open training camp in suburban Rochester. There’s rookie receiver Sammy Watkins, who was drafted fourth overall after Whaley traded Buffalo’s 2015 first-round pick to Cleveland. Whaley shuffled his receivers by acquiring Mike Williams in a trade with Tampa Bay and dealing Stevie Johnson to San Francisco. He even tinkered with the Bills already strong running attack by acquiring Bryce Brown in trade with Philadelphia. Short of making a guarantee, Whaley says it’s his duty to get the Bills into the playoffs.
49ers open their opulent stadium in Santa Clara Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York got a little teary on his drive to Levi’s Stadium on Thursday. His voice cracked while talking about taking his young son to games at the stadium for years to come. Others had a different reaction upon walking into the building: Wow! With confetti streaming down under a blue sky, the 49ers officially opened the $1.2 billion stadium in Santa Clara with a ribbon-cutting ceremony complete with all the opulence of their new home. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, linebacker Patrick Willis and left tackle Joe Staley joined York and others on stage to cut the ribbons. They used oversized red scissors with gold-colored blades in keeping with team colours. Hard-hat wearing construction workers lined the steps in fluorescent yellow jackets as team employees cheered and a fog horn blared. “This is a long time in the making,” York said. The stadium’s opening put one of the NFL’s flagship franchises on firm footing and planted the country’s most popular sports league in technology-rich Silicon Valley for the first time. Goodell called it a milestone for the league. He also added a twist to the ceremony by addressing the looming stadium issue just up the road in Oakland, where the Raiders have long been searching for a replacement to the outdated Coliseum. Goodell said it’s up to the Raiders to decide whether they want to try to build a stadium in Oakland or share the facility at Levi’s Stadium with the 49ers — an idea York has never dismissed. Raiders owner Mark Davis has said he doesn’t want to be a renter in the 49ers’ facility, which is now fitted with red seats and posters of past and present San Francisco greats. The 49ers’ new home, which is the first LEED Gold Certified stadium in the NFL for its environmentally friendly design, will hold about 68,500 fans and has the ability to expand to 75,000 for Super Bowl 50 in February 2016. The facility features 165 luxury suites, 9,000 club seats and even a green roof-top deck that includes solar panels and harvested herbs for on-site food preparation.

We’re very fortunate to have depth.” Due to the injuries to Raymond and Mayo, Lin-J Shell and Glenn Love will be elevated to starter status for the Stamps. “I expect good things from both of them,” Simpson said. “They’re both smart guys and good football players.” Receiver Jeff Fuller is coming off his best outing with Stamps during Calgary’s 34-15 win over the Argonauts in Toronto and he’s looking forward to continuing his progress against Hamilton. “It was a good win, but we’ve just got to keep building on it,” said Fuller, who hauled in a pair of touchdown passes from quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell against the Argos. “I’m looking forward to a big game this week. I felt like we had a good week of preparation, even though it was a short week.” Mitchell commended offensive co-ordinator Dave
Dickenson for getting the Stamps ready to take on the Ticats. “Dicky is one of those guys who’s not going to hold anything back,” said Mitchell, who had an impressive outing in Toronto when he threw four TD passes. “He makes sure that we’re all ready to do anything that we can do on offence. We have a lot of things that we can do - a lot of misdirection. We have a lot of guys to throw to. We don’t ever focus on one person.” For the Ticats to be successful against the Stamps, they’ll have to concentrate on stopping Mitchell, who completed 16-of-24 passes for 267 yards against the Argos. “Bo definitely brings some energy to the field,” said Hamilton nose tackle Brian Bulcke, who played two years for the Stamps before signing with the Ticats prior to last season. “That’s something I noted my years here. As a defensive line, having guys like (Eric) Norwood and (Brandon) Boudreaux on the edge to chase him down I think is really important, so we’re just trying to get those guys fired up.”

Minnesota Wild agree to terms with goalie John Curry on 1-year, 2-way contract ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild have agreed to terms with goaltender John Curry on a one-year, two-way contract. Under the deal announced Thursday, Curry will be paid his NHL salary only if he is on the NHL roster. If he is sent to the AHL, he will get a minor-league salary. Curry was one of five goalies who played last season for the Wild. He had a 43-save win in April against St. Louis. The 30-year-old from Shorewood, Minnesota, was 7-9-2 with a 2.62 goals-against average, a .930 save percentage and one shutout in 19 games with the AHL’s Iowa Wild last season. He appeared in two NHL games with Minnesota, going 1-0-0 with a 3.00 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage. He played in four games with the Pittsburgh Penguins from 2008-10.
Director of player development Brisebois leaves Canadiens for personal reasons MONTREAL — Patrice Brisebois is leaving the Montreal Canadiens for personal reasons, a source tells The Canadian Press. Brisebois, who has served as director of player development for the past two years, told general manager Marc Bergevin of his intentions earlier this week, the source said. The 43-year-old Montreal native played 16 of his 18 NHL seasons for the Habs. Between Montreal and the Colorado Avalanche he played 1,009 career games.
Canucks sign Linden Vey to one-year contract VANCOUVER — After giving up a second-round draft pick for his rights last month, the Vancouver Canucks have signed restricted-free-agent forward Linden Vey to a one-year contract. Vey, acquired at the draft from the Los Angeles Kings for the 50th pick the Canucks got for defenceman Jason Garrison, should be the No. 3 centre next season. Canucks general manager Jim Benning said he knew plenty about Vey from his time living in Boston while the 22-year-old played for the AHL’s Manchester Monarchs. Vey also played for new coach Willie Desjardins with the WHL’s Medicine Hat Tigers.
Canada fields its largest ever non-home team at the Commonwealth Games BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Sixteen-year-old Isabela Onyshko and 78-year-old Al Hanet are officially the youngest and oldest Canadians participating at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland as Canada officially confirmed its roster on Thursday for the international athletics competition. Onyshko, from Minnedosa, Man., will compete in artistic gymnastics while Hanet, from Kelowna, B.C., will compete in lawn bowling as a para-athlete. “It is exciting that our Canadian athletes are starting to arrive at the Games’ Village,” said Chantal Petitclerc, Canada’s Chef de Mission. “While we have had a small advance team on site for over a week, having athletes now living in the Village has made it come alive. Everything is operational and working very well, the accreditation centre, the dining hall, the transport mall and all amenities. “Glasgow 2014 is ready — as are the Commonwealth’s best athletes who are starting to gather for these great Games.” Canada is sending its largest-ever delega-
tion to a Commonwealth Games not on home soil with 265 athletes competing in 16 out of 17 sports at Glasgow. Netball is the only sport Canadians will not compete in. Trapshooter Susan Nattrass, who will be Canada’s flagbearer at the Opening Ceremony on July 23, is the most experienced athlete in the delegation. The 63-year-old, who lives in Edmonton, is competing in her fifth Games and has won three silver medals and five bronze at previous competitions. Montreal’s Metodi Igorov, Nattrass’s teammate on the shooting team, will also be competing in his fifth Commonwealth Games. “After years of preparation, it is hard to believe that we are now only one week away from the Opening Ceremony,” said Scott Stevenson, Commonwealth Games Canada’s Director of Sport. “Canada has fielded a very strong team for these 2014 Games, and we are targeting a top three finish amongst all nations competing here. This Team truly represents sporting excellence at its best.”

Nibali says doping belongs in cycling’s past TOUR DE FRANCE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAINT-ETIENNE, France — Because of doping’s ravages on cycling, it’s natural for suspicion to fall on Vincenzo Nibali, who led the Tour de France on Thursday for a 10th time in 12 stages. But Nibali says the sport has changed, doping cases have become rare, and “this theme belongs to the past.” The Italian has had a praiseworthy, almost unbreakable lock on the yellow jersey, yet he will be looking over his shoulder more on Friday. The great race enters two days in the Alps that feature uphill finishes, starting with the hardest climb that the peloton has faced so far. Off the roads, Nibali said he expected questions about doping, a scourge of much of the last generation, for whom performance-enhancers such as blood-booster EPO or human growth hormone, and methods like blood-doping were common. Many cycling experts say the sport has greatly cleaned up its act. On Thursday, the Sky team, which has won the last two Tours, sacked British cyclist Jonathan Tiernan-Locke after he was banned for an irregular biological passport. He was not a Tour rider, but few would say the Tour peloton was totally clean. Doping’s shadow remains at the Tour, among team staffers, and even a rider or two. Nibali’s team, Astana, was kicked out of the 2007 Tour after its star rider Alexandre Vinokourov tested positive for banned blood transfusions. He served his ban, returned to racing,
and won gold at the London Olympics. Vinokourov is now Astana’s general manager. Rider Michele Scarponi who, like Nibali, won the Giro d’Italia and was racing in this Tour, was given a threemonth ban in 2012 for seeing banned physician Michele Ferrari, a longtime adviser of Lance Armstrong. Nibali says Astana has changed. “I’ve chosen Astana for the possibility to build a group that I can trust to bring me at a competitive level for important races like the Giro, the Tour and the (Spanish) Vuelta,” he said. “There have been many mistakes in cycling in the past, by many riders, but they belong to the past,” Nibali said. “We now have a biological passport, out-of-competition controls, controls at home ... “Nobody can say that cycling hasn’t changed. Nowadays, there is an isolated case. There’s always the possibility that an idiot does something stupid ...” Nibali, a native of Messina, Sicily, nicknamed the “Shark of the Strait” after the Strait of Messina, is trying to become only the sixth rider in history to win all three Grand Tours of France, Italy and Spain. He would also be the first Italian to win the Tour since Marco Pantani in 1998. The late Pantani was convicted in Italy of doping offences during his career. Giuseppe Martinelli, a cycling guru who worked with Pantani for years before they fell out, is an Astana manager. “Thanks to him,” Nibali said of Martinelli through a translator, “I became closer to the Astana team that has invested a lot in an Italian group in order to regain credibility.” To succeed Pantani, Nibali is keeping an eye out on other race contenders: Richie Porte of Australia trails by 2 minutes, 23 seconds, and Alejandro
As head of Hockey Canada, Renney has different task at hand than Nicholson BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Tom Renney joked that on his first day as Hockey Canada president and CEO, his first challenge was finding his new office. Renney, hired earlier this week to lead Hockey Canada, is working out of the same office as his predecessor, Bob Nicholson, but he’ll be tasked with doing a much different job. “When Bob Nicholson took over (in 1998), Hockey Canada needed Bob to turn it into a business, and he did, and he made it a great business,” Mike Babcock said. “So now the grassroots program can be more of a focus because Bob looked after the business. They’ve got to maintain the business, they’ve got to grow grassroots.” Renney’s on-the-job challenges include trying to make hockey more affordable for children to begin playing and for adults to continue. He’ll also be counted on to handle the 2018 Winter Olympics, which may or may not include NHL players. The 59-year-old, who spent the bulk of his professional career as an NHL coach, considers it his “mandate” not to just oversee gold medals but to make hockey enjoyable and protect it as other sports are fighting for athletes’ time and interest. He called that “point one” of his regime and specifically emphasized wanting to introduce hockey to Canadian immigrants. “We have to make the rink a destination,” Renney said. “We want to make sure that leadership in every community across the country is sound and value-driven to make sure that the experience is something that will last a lifetime so that we continue to grow the game.” Babcock had Renney on his coaching staff with the Detroit Red Wings the past two seasons and considers him the right man to lead that charge. “The Canadian game for me is a huge deal,” Babcock said in a phone interview. “The more I’ve been involved the more Canadian you feel and the more you want the game to be Canadian, and in order to do that the grassroots hockey has to be a huge priority. ... Tom can’t get enough. In the summer, I go to the lake, I go water-skiing, I go hunting, I do things. I’m sure Tom’s working on drills this morning. That’s just Tom, he loves it.” In order to get the position, Hockey Canada board of directors chairman
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Sabres re-signed centre Tyler Ennis on Thursday to a five-year contract worth $23 million, addressing one of the final pieces of their off-season rebuilding plan. Two people familiar with the agreement revealed the terms to The Associated Press. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Sabres referred to the contract only as a multiyear deal. Ennis will make $7.3 million this season, $4.75 million in 2015-16, and $3.65 million in each of the final three seasons of the contract.
Valverde of Spain was third, 2:47 back. The mostly flat 185.5-kilometre course from Bourg-en-Bresse to SaintEtienne in southeastern France was well suited for a possible sprint finish and that’s how it was won by Alexander Kristoff, a Norwegian specialist with Katusha. American rider Andrew Talansky pulled out before the stage due to back pain from two previous crashes. A day earlier, the Garmin-Sharp leader rode for hours and finished last. Stage 13 will put riders’ legs under
the most strain yet.

Jim Hornell said Renney had to make presentations as part of the interview process. Through that, Hornell said Renney’s “passion came through.” Passion is a good start, but Renney also got the gig because of his experience working for Hockey Canada at the branch and national levels. Spending two decades in professional coaching could also give Renney a leg up as Hockey Canada looks ahead almost four years to the next Olympics and the chance to win gold for a third straight time. There’s no agreement yet about whether the NHL will send its players to Pyeongchang, South Korea, and because of that uncertainty Renney — who coached the 1994 Olympic team without pros — said he’d be prepared for either possibility. “I’ve had some experience with that at the very least and I feel comfortable with it,” he told reporters this week. “I would feel more comfortable if we were to continue to play best-on-best.” After general manager Steve Yzerman said he wouldn’t return in 2018, it’ll be up to Renney to find someone to construct the roster. The Cranbook, B.C., native has the hockey acumen to do it himself, if need be. Renney will also have to appoint a coach. Babcock has gold medals from Vancouver and Sochi. “The other day when he was telling me he was taking the job, I said, ’Tom, don’t call,”’ Babcock said. “He started laughing and said ’I’ll be calling for sure.’ I have no idea. ... I really believe you earn the opportunity to coach the Canadian Olympic team, and you earn the opportunity by continuing to be a top coach in the National Hockey League that wins. So three years from now they can decide.” Over the next few years, Renney hopes the “high performance” program continues to churn out gold medals in men’s, women’s and sledge hockey. But his immediate concerns are more about maintaining participation numbers at all ages and levels. Babcock pointed out that, on the heels of the World Cup and its immense popularity, it’s much easier for kids to put on a pair of spikes and play soccer than it is for his or her family to pay for hockey equipment. That’s a challenge Renney is partially responsible for tackling, even as he believes Hockey Canada is doing a pretty good job with programs benefiting the underprivileged.

BRIEFS Moose Jaw Warriors hire longtime NHL assistant Tim Hunter as head coach
MOOSE JAW, Sask. — The Moose Jaw Warriors have hired Tim Hunter as their new head coach. Hunter spent 14 years as an NHL assistant, most recently with the Washington Capitals in 2013. Before that he was an assistant under Ron Wilson with the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2008 to 2011. The 53-year-old Calgary native played 815 NHL games with the Flames, Quebec Nordiques, Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks. He won the Stanley Cup as co-captain of the Flames in 1989. This is the first head coaching job of Hunter’s career.

James Hinchcliffe, of Canada, drives through Turn 3 during the first of two IndyCar Grand Prix of Houston auto races Saturday, June 28, 2014, in Houston. Hinchcliffe’s bad luck appeared to be on the verge of ending when he returned from the concussion to qualify second for the Indianapolis 500. But his hopes for a win ended when he collided with Ed Carpenter late in the race. It’s all left Hinchcliffe with a very sarcastic tone as he prepares for Saturday and Sunday. “Well, I figure I’ll win both of these ones. And then in Ohio. And then Milwaukee, Sonoma and Fontana and I call the year a success,” he said. “Really no reason to aim for anything less than that at this point because we’re

Guard Devin Harris officially re-signed by the Dallas Mavericks DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks have resigned guard Devin Harris. The Mavericks didn’t reveal contract terms in their announcement Thursday night. ESPN reported Harris got a $16.5 million, fouryear deal. Harris played for Dallas on a one-year, $3 million deal last season. He originally had a $9 million, three-year deal, but that was scuttled by a toe injury that forced him to miss the first half of the season The 31-year-old Harris averaged 7.9 points, 4.5 assists and 20.5 minutes in 40 regular-season games after returning from the injury. Acquired by the Mavericks as the No. 5 overall pick in a draft-night trade in 2004, Harris was sent to New Jersey in a trade that brought Jason Kidd to the Mavericks in 2008. Harris also played in Utah and Atlanta.
Soto from the 60-day disabled list. Struggling first baseman Carlos Pena was designated for assignment after playing only 18 games in his return to the Rangers. Soto and Arencibia joined the team for a workout in Toronto, along with catchers Robinson Chirinos and Chris Gimenez. Texas (38-57), with the worst record in the majors, plays the Blue Jays on Friday in its first game after the All-Star break. Arencibia was optioned to Round Rock on May 20 after hitting .133 in 20 games with the Rangers, 19 of them starts at catcher. He hit .279 with 14 homers and 41 RBIs in 48 games at Round Rock, where he started 20 games at first base while playing the position professionally for the first time.
pretty far out of it. “We’re just bummed that we haven’t had the results that we feel we deserve for the effort we’ve been putting forward.” Hinchcliffe is the only Canadian in the field because Alex Tagliani no longer has a full-time ride in IndyCar. Toronto native Paul Tracy was the last Canadian to win the event, in 2003. Hinchcliffe finished third at Exhibition Place in his first season in the Indy Lights developmental series. But the IndyCar race has been difficult for him, especially the second race of last year’s doubleheader when
a stuck throttle kept him from starting on the grid and ended in a 21st-place finish. So, sarcasm aside, he has understandably low expectations right now. “I just assume it’s going to go poorly,” he said. “It’s not really a superstition as much as it is a statistical thing. I’ve had it all here. Maybe now finally there’s nothing left to happen. I mean, (I) literally didn’t even make the start of the race last year. It can’t get any worse than that.” Hinchcliffe then knocked on the table in front of him.

TORONTO — James Hinchcliffe had no idea how poorly he’s run in Toronto, his hometown race. He knew the results weren’t great — last year in particular — but had no clue his eighth-place finish in the first of two races in 2013 was his career-best finish. “Is that the best I’ve done is eighth? I knew it was bad. I didn’t realize it was that bad,” Hinchcliffe said Thursday. Hinchcliffe loves returning to the street course at Exhibition Place, the track he credits for sparking his love of racing. But he heads into this weekend’s doubleheader in desperate need of a successful weekend. The Oakville, Ont., native has been plagued this season by disappointing results, mechanical issues, collisions and a concussion suffered when he was hit by debris at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis. Although he finished sixth last weekend at Iowa, Hinchcliffe heads home with finishes outside the top 10 in seven of 12 races. He’s 11th in the IndyCar standings. He blames his results on a lot of bad luck. “Running for a podium in Indy GP and somebody smoked me in the head with a piece of a wing. I mean, like why does that happen? Who does that happen to? It’s just been one of those years,” Hinchcliffe said. “It is frustrating, certainly, because I don’t think the results match the effort in the job that the whole team is doing. But at the end of the day, we’re sleeping well at night because we’re executing very well, and it’s just really been a function of wrong place, wrong time a lot of the time this year.”

Baseball goes back to work MLB RETURNS TO BUSINESS AFTER ALL-STAR BREAK, WITH TRADE DEADLINE ON DECK BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sure, it was great for a couple days. The cheers for Derek Jeter. The power of Giancarlo Stanton. The excellence of Mike Trout in the American League’s 5-3 victory. Baseball’s All-Star party in the Twin Cities was a long series of smiles for players and fans. But the break is over now, and the real fun begins Friday night. Heading into the second half of the season, there are all sorts of compelling stories from coast to coast. It could be one fun summer in California, where Oakland begins the weekend with the best record in the majors, and the Giants, Angels and Dodgers are in prime playoff position. The trade deadline is in two weeks, and the recovery of several key injured players could dramatically affect a couple of divisions. The A’s bearded collection of shaggy misfits and stars is looking for the franchise’s first World Series title in 25 years. Sensing an opportunity, general manager Billy Beane got an early jump on the deadline when he acquired pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel in a deal with the Chicago Cubs on July 4. The blockbuster trade created an awkward scene at the All-Star game, where Samardzija was introduced with the NL reserves and then joined his new teammates in the AL dugout. “I’m really excited to just put all this to rest now and the sideshow that’s happened right in the middle of all this,” Samardzija said. “It was a great opportunity to get to know these guys more. I flew out here with them. I’m excited.” There will be no such problem for any other players on the move this month. Boston pitcher Jake Peavy, Philadelphia second baseman Chase Utley, San Diego closer Huston Street and New York Mets right-hander Bartolo Colon are thought to be on the market as contenders shop for that missing piece that could pay off into October. “I guess there’s a possibility for anything, but at this point I love playing in Philadelphia,” said Utley, who could veto any deal. Jeter was warmly greeted everywhere he went this week, and the Yankee captain contributed two hits to the AL All-Star win. Any chance of his final season ending in the playoffs likely
depends on the return of rookie ace Masahiro Tanaka, who is out with a partially torn ligament in his right elbow. He is going through a six-week rehab program but season-ending surgery is an option. Michael Pineda also could return from a back injury to New York’s battered rotation. The Bronx is one of many spots where health is an issue for the stretch run. The recovery of Reds sluggers Joey Votto (strained muscle above left knee) and Brandon Phillips (left thumb) and indispensable Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (right thumb) could affect the bunched NL Central. The Pirates could get starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (tight lat muscle) in the first few weeks after the break. “We know what we’re capable of doing, and we’re going to play like we’ve been there before, like we’ve done it before,” said slugger Andrew McCutchen, hoping to lead Pittsburgh back to the playoffs for the second straight year. “That’s what we’ve got to look forward to.” The strained right quadriceps of Toronto’s Edwin Encarnacion and ailing back of Detroit’s Victor Martinez also bears watching. Atlanta, which is battling Washington for the top spot in the NL East, could get a lift from the return of Evan Gattis after the catcher was sidelined by a bulging disk in his back. Beyond the standings, the races for the individual honours will come into focus. Trout could add the AL MVP award to his one from the All-Star game, especially if the Angels can run down

Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is among the favourites for the NL award, but he could be hurt by the Rockies’ poor play. The NL Cy Young Award features an interesting duel between Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers and Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals. Trying for a repeat, Kershaw had a 41-inning scoreless streak that ended last week and carried a 1.78 ERA into the break. But Wainwright is 12-4 with a 1.83 ERA in 138 innings, compared to
96 1-3 for Kershaw, who missed all of April with a back problem. White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu, the overwhelming favourite for AL Rookie of the Year with Tanaka on the shelf, could become baseball’s first rookie home run king since Mark McGwire with the Athletics in 1987. “He’s continuing to make adjustments with what other teams are trying to do to him,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said last month, “and when he hits it on the barrel it goes a long way.”

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates find themselves in an average, every day — if still heated — pennant race. A season after shedding the yoke of two decades of failure with a stirring run to a playoff berth, the Pirates are just another solid if not spectacular team trying to keep pace in the jampacked NL Central. To be honest, being an ordinary contender is refreshing. “We know where we stand, we know where we are, we know we have to play good baseball and we know it’s not a matter of changing the course of Pirates history anymore or having a winning season,” second baseman Neil Walker said. “Those things were important, but now we know what we need to do to get to the playoffs.” And do it without what Walker called the “unnecessary pressure” Pittsburgh faced in 2013, when the Pirates won 94 games and advanced to the NL division series. Rather than be reminded at every turn how bad the franchise has been, the Pirates have been free to spend the first half of 2014 sorting themselves out in relative anonymity.

Burris leads Ottawa in historic home opener BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Henry Burris boasts an impressive CFL resume. Over 15 seasons, he’s twice won a league championship, been named a Grey Cup and CFL MVP and is one of just five players ever to surpass the 50,000-yard passing plateau. But even with 17 years of pro football under his belt — he also played in the NFL with Green Bay and Chicago — the 39-year-old Texan will experience a career first Friday night when he leads the expansion Ottawa Redblacks (0-2) into their first-ever game at TD Place Stadium against the Toronto Argonauts (1-2). “I’ve never been in this position before,” Burris said following Thursday’s practice. “I played in the first Monday night game following 9/11 (Green Bay’s 37-0 win over Washington on Sept. 24, 2001), I’ve played in Grey Cups and those were some pretty emotional times for me. “But I can just imagine how emotional and how much energy is going to be in this stadium and this entire city. I know this fanbase has waited since 2005 to have a true home game and a true home stadium. It’s an honour to be here and able to be part of this team to break ground as far as getting this organization and city back into football.” Not since the former Renegades in November 2005 has a CFL team played a home game in Ottawa and the city hasn’t celebrated a Grey Cup winner since ’76 when Tony Gabriel’s historic TD catch rallied the Rough Riders to a thrilling 23-20 victory over Saskatchewan. But a sellout gathering of 24,000 will be on hand for the Redblacks inaugural home game. “It’s a big deal and we’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.,” said Ottawa head coach Rick Campbell. “We’ve had a bunch of firsts over the last several months as far as what’s gone on with our franchise and (Thursday) will be a big night and we’re definitely proud of it.” It’s only fitting that Burris achieve a career first going head-to-head with Toronto quarterback Ricky Ray. The two had many memorable battles when they were with the Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Eskimos, respectively, and last year Burris led the Hamilton Tiger-Cats past the Argos in the East Division final. “I feel like we’re in The Matrix, we keep following each other,” Burris said. “It seems in the most special moments, we always go against each other. “He’s done a lot of great things in his time and I hope that’s a two-way street. When we see each other on the sidelines we want to beat each other.” But Ray has much more to be concerned about than outplaying Burris. Toronto will be minus its top three receivers in Chad Owens (foot), Andre Durie (clavicle) and Jason Barnes (knee), meaning youngsters Anthony Coombs, Terrell Sinkfield and Darvin Adams will all start versus Ottawa. “That’s going to be tough,” Ray said. “Any time you don’t have a starter in the lineup you can’t rely on the production you’re used to getting. “With these guys, they’ve been here, they’ve been through training camp, they know the offence. It’s just about being out there and not thinking too much when they’re playing and trying to avoid some of those mistakes and be able to play fast. Until you have that game experience together, you don’t know what to expect.

Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris gets set to throw against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers during the first half of CFL action in Winnipeg Thursday, July 3, 2014. Veteran Ottawa defensive back Jovon Johnson said it doesn’t really matter who the Argos have at receiver because Ray is the key to their offence. “He takes the passes that you give him, he doesn’t force things downfield,” Johnson said. “He doesn’t do things he’s not accustomed to doing, that’s what makes him great. “To not have guys like Chad Owens and Andre Durie, I’m sure that’s big for them because they go to Owens and Durie a lot. It’s one of those unknown things, you don’t know who they’re going to play and just have to be ready for whatever comes your way.” With Ottawa’s first home game generating such a huge buzz here — a pep rally was held Thursday at city hall — the Redblacks will definitely have the home-field advantage as they search for their firstever win. However, that also means there’ll be a lot

VANCOUVER — Perspective is always important. Maybe that’s why midfielder Russell Teibert managed to sound enthusiastic about a schedule that sees the Vancouver Whitecaps play their third Major League Soccer game in eight days. The Whitecaps’ match against Real Salt Lake Saturday night at Rio Tinto Stadium comes on the heels of a 1-1 draw Wednesday in Toronto against Toronto FC and a 3-1 loss to Chivas USA Saturday at home in BC Place Stadium. The Whitecaps will have travelled over 7,300 kilometres by the time they return to Vancouver. The stretch can be physically exhausting but Teibert’s rational is more games in a short time period means increased playing minutes for everyone on the team. “I think it’s the most exciting stretch to be going through, especially with the squad we have this year,” said the 21-year-old from Niagara Falls, Ont., who played 82 minutes against Toronto after not getting on the field against Chivas. A win would help Vancouver gain ground in MLS’s competitive Western Conference.

of pressure on them to perform well. “Hopefully it’s loud and exciting,” Argos head coach Scott Milanovich said. “Our guys are looking forward to playing in the new stadium being kind of the first show in town.” Toronto receiver John Chiles, who played collegiately at Texas, said a big, loud crowd can dramatically impact the outcome of a game. “I’m expecting it to be crazy, I’m expecting it to be loud, I’m expecting the fans to be up and screaming and having a good time,” Chiles said. “In college I played before 110,000 people every week and I remember when it got loud it got tough for teams and they struggled against us. “And even at some away games it was tougher for me being on the road. The crowd can definitely have an effect on the game.”

The Youth and Volunteer Centre of Red Deer is receiving a boost from the provincial government as part of a new campaign calling for more adult mentors for children and adolescents. Alberta’s Human Services Department announced on Wednesday it will invest $365,000 in the Big Brothers and Sisters organizations in Edmonton and Calgary, as well as the centre in Red Deer. The funding is to help attract, train and match mentors with children in the care of the province. About $60,000 will go to the Red Deer centre’s mentorship program, also known as Big Brothers, Big Sisters, said Dawn Flanagan, acting executive director at YVC. The goal is to match 34 more

BRIEFS Natural gas line severed during construction Residents were evacuated, power was shut down and traffic had to be rerouted when a natural gas line was severed in a construction area in downtown Red Deer on Thursday. The line was hit at about 8:15 a.m. in the area of 55th Street and 49th Avenue, where a major water and sanitary services improvement project is underway by the City of Red Deer. Emergency Services responded and evacuated some residents and businesses in the area around the intersection as a precaution. About 18 people were evacuated. Red Deer Electric Light and Power shut off power for several hours until the gas line was repaired.
Farming families recognized Six Central Alberta families are among 19 being recognized by the province for farming more than a century. The Alberta government presented the families with Century Farm and Ranch Awards are the Westerner Days Fair and Exposition on Wednesday. “Alberta’s farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our great province,” says Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson in a statement accompanying the announcement. “For more than a century, their pioneering spirit and hard work have paved the way for a thriving agriculture sector and a vibrant rural Alberta.” Since the awards began in 1993, more than 1,400 families have been honoured. Agriculture remains one of the province’s largest industries with 43,000 farms totalling 50 million acres. Central Alberta families honoured include: Chick-Rock Family of Gadsby, Huston Family of Lacombe, Jackson and Morel Family of Castor, Wiancko Family of Ponoka, Wilkie Family of Big Valley, and the WrightClark-Fandrick Families of Rocky Mountain House.

Cigarette in planter causes fire A cigarette cast off into a peat moss planter started a fire in a Lancaster home in Red Deer on Thursday morning, causing $5,000 worth of damage. Crews responded to the fire at 104 Lamont Close just before 7 a.m. No one was injured. The blaze didn’t expand beyond the planter box, wooden railing and exterior siding of the home. Residents are reminded not to use planter boxes as ashtrays where cigarettes can smoulder for hours before bursting into flames. The incident has sparked the first visit Red Deer Emergency Services will make to a neighbourhood as part of the new After the Fire program. Crew members visit areas that have recently witnessed a fire to talk about the leading causes of fire and ways to avoid a similar incident. They will also perform safety checks and install free smoke alarms and batteries where required. For more information on the program, call 403-346-5511 or email prevention@reddeer.ca.

Being a leg amputee as a result of cancer hasn’t stopped Landon Haigh, 21, of Red Deer, from living a full and active life. One of Landon’s favourite activities is riding his bike. However, it is difficult for him to complete a full pedal rotation due to the design of his prosthetic leg. Thanks to support from the War Amps, he now has a hinged crank arm, which shortens the axle on the pedal of his bike, allowing for a smaller pedal rotation. Landon is a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program and, as such, is eligible to receive financial assistance with artificial limbs and recreational devices. The War Amps also provided assistance with his driving aid (a left foot accelerator). “Before I had the device, my leg used to fall off the pedal when I was riding,” said Landon. “Now I can comfortably ride my bike and at a much quicker pace.” Landon praised the CHAMP Program. “They have always encouraged me to be active because being an amputee is not a barrier in life.” For more on the War Amps and the organization’s programs, including the key tag and address label service, go to www.waramps.ca.
Man released after pleading guilty to reduced charges BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF A Blackfalds man arrested on warrants dating back to 2010 has been released from jail after pleading guilty to a reduced set of charges. Marvin Lodge, 37, was arrested late in June by members of the Blackfalds RCMP, who found him hiding in a closet under some blankets. Police had been searching for Lodge in connection with outstanding warrants on 16 sets of charges, including two counts of impaired driving, one count of refusing to give police a breath sample and multiple counts of driving while disqualified, breaching probation and missing court dates. After a series of negotiations between Crown prosecutor Wayne Silliker and defence counsel Will Willms, Lodge pleaded guilty in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday to both impaired driving charges, as well as the refusal and a portion of the breaches and failures to appear. He appeared before Judge John Holmes by closed-circuit TV from the Red Deer Remand Centre, where he has been held since his arrest in June. Willms took responsibility for some of the court-related charges, saying there had been mixups in dates and that there were also occasions when his client was taking care of fam-

ily business in Newfoundland when he was supposed to be attending court in Red Deer. Lodge had planned to plead guilty to the initial impaired driving charged, laid in 2010 and waived into Red Deer from Wainwright, said Willms. Further offences, including a second charge of impaired driving and refusing to blow, were laid while he was awaiting process on the first charge, he said. Most recently, Lodge was unable to attend some court dates because he had entered a residential treatment program to deal with his alcohol addiction, said Willms. Invited to speak during sentencing, Lodge told Holmes that he is alcohol free as a result of the program and plans to stay that way. Holmes agreed to a sentence plan as laid out by Silliker and Willms, including a fine of $1,300 for the 2010 impaired driving, a global sentence of eight months for the balance of the charges, and a driving prohibition of four years. Holmes ruled that the jail sentence had been satisfied by the total time Lodge served in custody at various times since his initial arrest on the first impaired. An earlier conviction for impaired driving was a factor in the sentence. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com
VANCOUVER — The British Columbia Lottery Corp. has been ordered to pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars to problem gamblers whose jackpots were withheld because they won them after volunteering to ban themselves from casinos. But the ruling only covers a 14-month period and otherwise upholds the province’s so-called voluntary self-exclusion program, meaning gambling addicts who ask to be barred from casinos for their own good will still be forced to turn over their winnings. The lottery corporation started its voluntary self-exclusion program in the late 1990s. In April 2009, the corporation introduced a policy that prohibited people in the program from collecting jackpots — a rule that typically comes into effect for prizes of $10,000 or more.
Hamidreza Haghdust and Michael Lee, who have each enrolled in the program at various times, filed a classaction lawsuit asking that the entire scheme be thrown out. Haghdust was denied two jackpots together worth $35,000, while Michael Lee was denied one jackpot worth $42,500. A judgment released on Thursday said the lottery corporation didn’t have the power to withhold jackpots when it introduced the policy in April 2009. Critics of the self-exclusion program have complained that the B.C. Lottery Corp. and other provincial gambling regulators with similar programs don’t do enough to prevent banned gamblers from entering casinos. They argue that because jackpots are withheld, the program is only enforced when gamblers are winning, not when they’re losing. Earlier this year, a B.C. Supreme Court judge rejected another lawsuit related to the self-exclusion program.

Microsoft to cut 18,000 jobs LARGEST LAYOFF IN COMPANY HISTORY, IN PIVOT AWAY FROM HARDWARE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Microsoft announced the biggest layoffs in its 39-year history Thursday, outlining plans to cut 18,000 jobs in a move that marked the CEO’s sharpest pivot yet away from his predecessor’s drive for the company to make its own devices. Although some cuts had been expected ever since Microsoft acquired Nokia’s mobile-device unit, the number amounted to 14 per cent of the Microsoft workforce — about twice what analysts had estimated. The cuts will include some 12,500 jobs associated with the Nokia unit — nearly half of the 28,000 employees Microsoft brought on board in April through the acquisition. When the cuts are complete, the company will still have about 10,000 employees from the Nokia acquisition, bringing its overall headcount to 109,000. In a public email to employees, CEO Satya Nadella said the changes were needed for the company to “become more agile and move faster.” The move also pushes Nokia to focus solely on the Windows Phone operating system. Nadella is clearly back-

managing director of equity research for financial services company Raymond James & Associates. Nadella indicated that Microsoft will largely abandon low-price Nokia Asha phones — which work on their own non-Windows op-
erating system — and reverse a strategically questionable move by Nokia in February to launch a line of phones called “X” that supported rival Google Inc.’s Android platform. “To win in the higher price tiers, we will focus on break-
through innovation that expresses and enlivens Microsoft’s digital work and digital life experiences,” Nadella said in the memo. Some 1,350 Seattle-area workers around Microsoft’s Redmond, Washington, headquarters were laid off Thursday, as were 1,800 workers in Hungary and nearly 370 in San Diego. The Nokia cuts include 1,100 jobs in Finland. In addition, the company is closing its Xbox Entertainment Studios, a 2-year-old venture based in Santa Monica, California, that produced original video content but was seen as separate from Microsoft’s core business. Microsoft Corp. expects charges of $1.1 billion to $1.6 billion over the next four quarters, largely for severance payments. The move puts the company on track to meet the target it set in September, when it announced the Nokia purchase, of saving $600 million in annual costs within 18 months after the deal closed. Ballmer announced the Nokia deal a month after he said he was resigning. FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives said the cuts were about double what Wall Street was expecting.

RETIRE-AT-HOME SERVICES
Customized home care for the aged offered BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR A pair of registered nurses hope to help aging baby boomers remain in their homes. John and Jackie Van Langen recently opened RetireAt-Home Services Red Deer, which provides private home care services to seniors and others in need of support. They collaborate with Alberta Health Services to give clients the level of at-home care that they or their families desire. “Basically, we provide anything the client asks for,” said Jackie. The resulting “customized packages” can include everything from periodic companionship to cooking and cleaning to 24-hour care. Retire-At-Home Services Red Deer currently employs about a dozen health care aides, with the Van Langens managing clients’ care and visiting them on a regular basis. Both have worked in home care as well as in the public health care system in the past. Jackie said they’re able to ensure clients receive the support from Alberta Health Services that they’re entitled to, and then supplement these as
required. “We want to make sure that they have all the services in place that they can get that are paid for. That’s the very first thing that we assess.” She anticipates that the need for home care will grow steadily as baby boomers age. “By the year 2025, the estimate is that 25 per cent of the population will be seniors requiring care. That’s one in four people; that’s huge.” Providing those people with services that allow them to stay in their own homes should enhance their quality of life and reduce the strain on public health care facilities. A franchise of a for-profit company based in Ottawa, Retire-At-Home Services Red Deer is responsible for Central Alberta. “We cover basically the entire central zone, as Alberta Health Services would call it,” said Jackie. “It’s kind of just south of Edmonton and then north of the Olds-Sundre area and almost stretching right to the west and east borders.” Additional information about Retire-At-Home Services can be found online at www.retireathome.com. hrichards@reddeeradvocate. com

Analyst questions Target’s future in Canada SUGGESTS IT SHOULD CUT ITS LOSSES BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Target’s future in Canada is being questioned by some analysts after the U.S. discount retailer fumbled its initial launch across the country and has struggled to recover. Michael Exstein, an analyst with Credit Suisse in New York, said in a recent note to clients that Target should “decide one way or the other on whether Canada is worth diverting time and management capital away from the U.S. business.” “We think it may be more prudent for Target to cut its losses and devote 100 per cent of its resources on the U.S., which comprises over 97 per

cent of the company’s current sales,” he said. “If Target exits Canada in 2015, we estimate it will incur $3.5 billion in charges, but generate $1 billion in cash proceeds. We estimate Target would see a nearly 10 per cent decline in equity and the largest decline in FCF (free cash flow) since 2007.” The company’s arrival in Canada last year was highly anticipated, but enthusiasm quickly dampened when customers found empty shelves and prices that were higher than at the U.S. stores. Earlier this year, the company also had to deal with the fallout from a massive preChristmas security breach that compromised the credit cards

and personal information of millions of shoppers, mostly in the United States. The breach has damaged Target’s reputation with customers worried about their personal information, and led to the ouster of CEO Gregg Steinhafel. Amid the Canadian struggles Target Canada CEO Tony Fisher also left the company, and was replaced by Mark Schindele. Interim chief executive John Mulligan has stressed Target is committed to Canada, saying after Steinhafel’s resignation the company was heading back to the drawing board to come up with new competitive strategies. Target also acknowledges it had “disappointed Canadian

Faye Landes, an analyst with Cowen and Company, said in a May note to clients that Target executives had given analysts the impression the company was in fact “focused on fixing” its Canadian operations. “Everything related to this business is ’on the table,’ including a real estate review,” she wrote. But Exstein notes that by the end of the 2014 financial year, Target appears to be on the road to having invested about $6 billion in capital ex-

penditure and after-tax losses in Canada, and stressed that a turnaround will have to “be a major effort taking at least several years to accomplish.” It would require fixing supply chain and stocking issues, investing in price, as well as repairing the company’s reputation in the eyes of the Canadian consumer, he said, calling that “perhaps most critical and difficult of all.” A decision should be made soon, he added, given Sears Holdings Corp.’s recent announcement that it was exploring strategic alternatives for Sears Canada, because that could lead to “a glut of supply that would dilute the resale value of real estate in Canada.”

The S&P/TSX composite index declined 21.86 points to 15,204.48. The market had been positive for much of the morning in the wake of a strong earnings report from Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP). Losses were slight on the Toronto market as gold stocks ran up sharply alongside bullion prices. The gold sector gained 2.45 per cent as the August bullion contract in New York moved up $17.10 to US$1,316.90 an ounce. An adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister said the plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 metres when it was hit by a missile, and Malaysian Airlines tweeted that it lost contact with one of its flights over Ukrainian airspace. The region has seen severe fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia separatist rebels in recent days. The flight to safety pushed the Canadian dollar down 0.11 of a cent to 92.95 cents US. Traders were already cautious after the U.S. announced broader sanctions against Russia, targeting two major energy companies, a pair of powerful financial institutions, eight weapons firms and four individuals. The increased U.S. economic pressure is designed to end the insurgency in eastern Ukraine that is widely believed to be backed by the Kremlin. Jitters also increased late in the session after the Israeli military said it had launched a ground operation in the Gaza Strip.

CN shares gained 32 cents to $71.77 ahead of the release of its earnings on Monday. “Both rail companies are benefiting from volume growth across most of the markets but we’re also seeing incredible strength in the grain side of the business and growth in shipments of oil by rail,” said Colum McKinley, vice-president, Canadian equities, CIBC Asset Management. “We think that the grainbased business and the crude oil shipment business are going to continue to be strong throughout the reminder of the year and into the first half of next year and that ... should contribute to continued strength in their earnings.” In the U.S., Microsoft plans to eliminate up to 18,000 jobs over the next year as it works on integrating the Nokia devices business it bought in April.

Loblaw shares were down 32 cents to $48.96. Most TSX sectors turned lower with the energy sector off 1.2 per cent as oil prices continued to benefit from data released Wednesday showing a much larger than expected drawdown of U.S. inventories last week.

BRIEFS
Galen G. Weston takes over daily operations at Loblaw Galen G. Weston is taking more control of the family run business as he assumes the role of president at Loblaw Companies Ltd., Canada’s largest grocer, amid the abrupt departure of two senior executives. Weston, who is also executive chairman of the company, said Thursday that previously his responsibility had been to oversee strategy at the food retailing giant. Since that has been established in the last few years, he’ll now handle the day-to-day operations, including opening up more communication with shareholders. “I think the time feels right for me,” he told analysts during a conference call following the early morning announcement. Weston said his family, who also controls Loblaw’s parent company, George Weston Ltd. (TSX:WN), has undergone some major changes in the past year, including the $12.4-billion blockbuster acquisition of the Shoppers Drug Mart chain. The move came as Loblaw (TSX:L) announced that president Vicente Trius was leaving to return to Brazil for personal reasons, including recent losses in his immediate family.

suppliers that is essentially a visual brainstorming session. The full-scale model offered the clearest idea yet of where Tim Hortons (TSX:THI) is headed and how it thinks Canadian tastes will evolve, including expecting more than just coffee, doughnuts and sandwiches. Certainly there were plenty of ideas to chew on — some even controversial. Consider the beer taps that pour brews inspired by Tim Hortons’ trademark coffee flavour — and a strawberry lager for the sweeter tooths. Or how about a unisex washroom that centres around a communal sink. And there’s even a conceptual design for a new Tim Hortons logo that’s features only a bright red coffee bean.
Canadian Pacific Q2 profits rise to $371 million CALGARY — Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. (TSX:CP) posted “record after record after record” in the second quarter despite the lingering effects of a harsh winter, CEO Hunter Harrison said Thursday in touting earnings results that surpassed expectations. Profits grew 48 per cent in the AprilJune period compared with a year earlier, even as the nasty weather’s impact dragged into April, particularly in its U.S. Midwest operations where congestion around Chicago has been an ongoing issue. Net income rose to $371 million from $252 million for the same period ended June 30 a year ago. On a per share basis, profits were $2.11, a penny higher than analyst expectations as compiled by Thomson Reuters. Revenues increased to $1.68 billion from $1.5 billion. Operating expenses were two per cent higher at $1.09 billion. Canadian Pacific’s operating ratio — a closely watched industry measure of operating expenses as a share of revenues — was an “outstanding” 65.1 per cent, Harrison said. A year earlier, the company’s operating ratio was 71.9. The lower the operating ratio, the better.
Cash Solutions setting up at former Runner’s Den shop BY ADVOCATE STAFF A downtown commercial bay is making the transition from fast footwear to quick cash. The former Runner’s Den premises at 5511 Gaetz Ave. is slated to become the new home of Cash Solutions, effective July 22. The cheque-cashing and payday loan business will relocate from 5006 48th St. Runner’s Den closed last fall after 15 years of selling running shoes and clothing, as well as other products like triathalon equipment. Owner Dwayne Loyek, who had operated the store for 10 years, said the highly competitive nature of the athletic footwear and equipment market
was a reason for the closure. An official with Cash Solutions, who asked not to be identified, said that business has operated in downtown Red Deer for 13 years — the last five at its current address. “He said the new site, which fronts onto busy Gaetz Avenue, is a “great location.” The Cash Solutions store will occupy half of the approximately 1,700 square feet that was used by Runner’s Den. The remainder will be leased out. The official said the size of the Cash Solutions store and the services it offers won’t change. “Everything should stay the same; it should just be a nicer office.”
Canadian firms lag global peers in investment, study states THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canadian companies are falling behind rivals in the rest of the world in terms of investment, according to a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute. The report, written by the institute’s Benjamin Dachis, William Robson and Nicholas Chesterley, finds that companies in Ontario and Quebec, in particular, have hit a 10-year low in investment per worker. The report comes at a time when the issue of so-called “dead money” — companies that sock away profits rather than spend on new machinery and equipment — remains an area of contention among economists and policy-makers. On Wednesday, Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz called the lack of business confidence and investment, not just in Canada but around the world, as the primary cause for what’s ailing economies in general. The latest figures from Statistics Canada show cash holdings among private non-financial corporations rose to $630 billion in first quarter of 2014, although the “dead money” phenomenon had been cited in the past by former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney. The C.D. Howe report does not speculate about why Canadian companies have not been investing as much as their peers with whom they must ultimately compete, but urges governments to do what they can to encourage investment in machinery, computers and innovation. “Private investment is what separates developed countries from poorer countries,” said Dachis, a senior policy analyst with the thinktank. “Look around the
world at the close relationship between the quality of tools and equipment workers have (and economic well-being) ... if we’re not getting enough investment, the long-term growth in Canada is going to be in serious jeopardy.” Dachis said that business investment per worker in Canada had
been catching up to the U.S. in recent years, although still lagging, but the last three years have seen a “discouraging about-face.” Projections for 2014 suggest Canadian firms will, on average, invest only 71 cents for every dollar invested by their peers in the U.S., down from 74 cents between 2008 and 2012.

more useful given the way the world is going. The town people are threatening Moses Sweetland. He’s had crudely-written death threats and some verbal warnings that frightened him not at all. There are many reasons for Sweetland to stay, at least he thinks so. He’s 69-years-old and never lived anywhere but the island, except for a brief employment on the mainland. That employment led to an accident that marked his face badly, but that isn’t the whole story. There is a grandnephew named Jesse in the picture. He’s a bright chatty kid, a sidekick of Moses, but the experts on the mainland say he’s “on the spectrum.” Jesse doesn’t do well with change and says he’ll stay with Moses. The island is starkly beautiful. Moses resolves to fake his leaving and return. Can a man live with-
The Widow’s Walk is only a fluffy read The Widow’s Walk By Robert Barclay William Morrow Paperbacks Robert Barclay tries to combine the themes of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Safe Haven into a new romance novel. The result is less than satisfying. Constance is a lovely (both inside and out) woman of the 1840s. She is married to Adam Canfeild, the captain of a whaling ship, the Intrepid. The happy couple live in a huge gothic, elegant mansion facing the Atlantic Ocean and they christen their home Seaside. On a dark and rainy night, Constance leans on a rotten railing on the widow’s walk. It breaks and she falls to her doom. At the same time, her husband’s ship is swallowed up by the angry sea. But Constance awakens. Over time, she realizes that her body no longer needs food or water, she never falls ill, nor ages. And the most shocking realization of all — no one can see her, let alone hear her. And so 170 years pass for Constance, who believes she is not a ghost but simply trapped between this life and the next. She continues to dwell at Seaside, watching new owners come and go while, with neglect, her home begins to deteriorate. Things change suddenly when Garrett Richmond, with expertise in architecture, takes ownership of Seaside with the intent of restoring the mansion to its original state. What makes Garrett different from the previous owners is that he can actually see and hear Constance. After very little convincing, Garrett believes Constance’s claims and the two begin to work together to find a way to free her while, of course, falling in love. The idea of this novel is nothing new, although it does carry potential if it was well executed. Sadly, Barclay’s novel lacks depth, the characters are lifeless and the emotional impact is weak. This is a dull book and it took a lot of effort for me to push myself to finish it. The story lacked in-

out community? Without the townsfolk, many of whom are related to Moses, their stories weird and wonderful? If everyone leaves, the ferry service will stop, the phone and electricity will be cut and living will be basic survival. Who visits an abandoned island? Change is a constant and before any decision
is made, some of the players are out of the game. Moses goes on, planting his garden, building his wood pile, putting up salted fish and jugged rabbit. It’s about planning for the future, for better or for worse. The characters of Sweetland the person and Sweetland the island speak of a world
and a way of life that is no more. This is a very fine book. Michael Crummey, from Newfoundland, is the author of Galore, Winner of the Commonwealth Prize in 2009. This is an August 2014 publication. Peggy Freeman is a local freelance books reviewer.

LOS ANGELES — Guillermo del Toro is helping to open the Book of Life. The Oscar winner is producing the animated feature by first-time director Jorge Gutierrez, and joined him at Fox Studios on Monday to unveil footage from the film, set for release in October. Book of Life is rich with imagery from Mexican folklore, with a special emphasis on the Day of the Dead, the food- and music-filled celebration of the annual return of the spirits of deceased loved ones. Del Toro said he was moved by Gutierrez’s emotional, visual and narrative connection to Mexico. “It was a huge nostalgia,” del Toro said, “a very painful and beautiful nostalgia that made me say I’m going to protect this project and celebrate this guy.” It helped that Gutierrez presented his ideas and illustrations over “a trunk of tequila,” the filmmaker said. Book of Life centres on two best friends angling for the girl of their dreams, not realizing that otherworldly powers have a stake in the outcome. The leaders of the underworlds, the Land of the Remembered and the Land of the Forgotten, make a wager on which lover the girl will choose. Zoe Saldana, Channing Tatum and Diego Luna lead the voice cast. The film also features ranchera interpretations of popular songs by Mumford & Sons, Radiohead, Rod Stewart and others. Oscar-winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla provides the score. The approach to music and animation is unique, del Toro said. “It’s enchanting and gorgeous in a way that is not the cookie-cutter way,” he said. Colorful sugar skulls— the traditional Day of the Dead treat — inform the fantastical look of the Land of the Remembered. Other Mexican folk arts, like handcrafted wooden dolls, are represented in the film’s everyday world. “I’m not supporting a movie that is going to look like every other movie, that’s going to sound like every other movie,” del Toro said, adding that he tries to specialize in producing first-time filmmakers to add to the diversity of voices in cinema. “Every time we did something unique, I felt very proud of him. He’s like my love child without the love.” Online: http://www.bookoflifemovie.com/

Enjoy the smooth and impulsive vibe — just as Aries like. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Any past issues with family or friends will be smoothed over today.

Allow for greater resources to be at your disposal, but use common sense now. Take every action needed to create more fun and romance in your life! CANCER (June 21-July 22): Venus moves into your sign today. Marking a lovely transit of feeling in harmony with what is going on and attracting a lot of others to you as well. Take the initiative today but don’t act out too impulsively now. This will create a bit of chaos for you on a professional level. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Whatever you do today, do not get impulsive or easily angered. There is a greater possibility of peace and harmony for you, if you get out of your own way and create it and work with it appropriately. You should be at harmony with yourself now.

There are times when a person my age (85) becomes a little depressed and is in need of a bit of comic relief. Reading the letters that you receive from some of your readers renders a whole new meaning to the word “dysfunctional.” If I were on the Nobel Prize nominating committee, I would certainly vote for you in the category of “Patience and Compassion.” It’s sometimes difficult for me to understand how some of these people can actually manage in this world. Keep up the good work. — M. in Montreal Dear M.: Your lighthearted letter brightened our day, although we will say that one reason we write this column is to help those who want an unbiased opinion about situations they cannot wrap their heads around. We know that it often takes an objective viewpoint to see the forest for the trees, because when you are in the middle of a crisis — unhappy, confused and hurt
— it helps to have someone in your corner to steer you in a more focused direction. We hope we can provide that for our readers. And if it holds your interest at the same time, even better. Thanks for writing. Dear Annie: After reading the responses to “Bob in North Carolina,” I agree that some women who present the news wear sexy clothes. I also believe that many of them debase themselves because they need the job. It’s a shame women can’t be appreciated for their professional talents alone. But, that said, what’s good for the gander is good for the goose. So let’s get rid of those wrinkly, whitehaired tie-and-suit men and spice up the news with younger guys showing off their arm muscles and chest hair. Maybe that would make the bleak news we hear more fun for all of us. — Fair’s Fair Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Science funk-tion
Five Alarm Funk brings its mash up of rock, funk and world music to Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer on Wednesday.
VANCOUVER-BASED BAND SETS SONGS ABOUT GLOBAL DESTRUCTION TO A SMILE-INDUCING BEAT BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Shirtless Tayo Branston really stands out in a crowd — even when his crowd is a funkadelic nine-member band that performs songs about a giant robot destroying the earth. Drummer/vocalist Branston is part of Five Alarm Funk, which will play a mash up of rock, funk and world music on Wednesday at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer. The local play list will include selections from Abandon Earth, a justreleased sci-fi-themed album that sets songs about global destruction to a smile-inducing beat. And Branston will be the clothing-optional guy behind the drum kit. “I refuse to play with a shirt because I get extremely hot and sweaty,” said the 31-year-old. Other musicians in his Vancouverbased band might choose to wear a random superhero costume or some kind of eye-catching headgear, but Branston generally refuses to get dressed above the waist when on stage. He explains his drumming style in-
volves playing with his whole body, “and I don’t want to be doing a lot of laundry while on tour. ... The thing about a Five Alarm show is that we totally engage with our instrument with all of our moves and energy.” The group formed a decade ago once featured an unruly assortment of 10 or 12 musicians, but Branston said that number has since been whittled down to “the perfect nine.” That way, the two guitarists, bassist, three percussionists and three horn players can all fit on stage at the same time and pull off synchronized dance moves in the vein of ’70s R&B/funk groups Kool and the Gang, or Earth, Wind and Fire. “We’re all white guys from Vancouver, so we all have two left feet,” he admitted. But practise makes perfect — or at least passable. “We put on a show with very danceable music and vocals, and try to make it super fun and quirky, so people have a big smile on their face.” At the same time, some of the group’s music has deeper themes, although no overt messages, said Branston. “It’s not my style. I never try to
push my views on people.” The fifth album, Abandon Earth came about not because group members are B-movie fans, but because they were looking for an theme that would lend itself to being both ridiculous and serious, depending on interpretation. Fans, especially those familiar with the group’s silly We All Scream video (which involves an ice cream-related torture scene), might think of those schlocky 1950s alien invasion movies — and that’s fine with Branston, who came up with the robot-destroys-Earth story line last winter. “I wanted to do something fun because Five Alarm’s all about that.” But he was also thinking about climate change and the idea of technology or man-made devices overpowering the natural world. One of the new songs, Higgs Boson, is about fears that splitting the “God particle” might lead to the development of new black holes. “Who knows what would happen if you activated a particle collider?” said Branston. The group’s sense of humour shines through in fake apocalyptic newscasts read by voice actors and squeezed be-
tween songs on the album to move the storyline along for listeners. “Our biggest influence is Frank Zappa,” said the Vancouver native, who wanted to be a musician ever since getting his first drum kit at the age of 10. His firefighter father and cake-decorator mother were always supportive. In fact, Branston credits his mom’s love of dancing to salsa and flamenco tunes around the house for exposing him to some of the world music that now colours Five Alarm Funk’s repertoire. Balkan/Gypsy music, Bollywood soundtracks and plain old rock ’n’ roll are other influences — as is ’70s-style funk, a resurgent musical genre that Branston believes has never entirely faded from popularity. “People regularly get up and dance at our shows. We toured from Vancouver to London, Ont., and did 18 shows in 17 days and were sold out 95 per cent of the time. ... It’s getting to the point where our dream is becoming a reality.” There’s a $10 cover charge for the 8:30 p.m. show. For more information, call 403-356-0033. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Carl loses the game of menu tug of war with Riva, who sniffs “be an artist on your own time.” He caves and cooks the standard bill of fare, including that old chestnut, molten chocolate cake, which becomes a metaphor for mediocrity throughout the rest of the picture.

and if he didn’t succeed in creating an actual renaissance for the ensemble, he enjoyed a longer and generally more tranquil tenure than many had expected. Among the oft-cited highlights was the performance in North Korea during the orchestra’s tour to Asia in 2008, another event that divided public opinion. And the Castleton Festival, which began by presenting Britten operas in his home theater, showed him at his most generous and avuncular. Founded with quite a lot of his own money, the festival is dedicated to training young artists under Maazel’s tutelage. It also gave local audiences a chance to hear him conduct a full-size orchestra in some major repertory, since the organization quickly moved past chamber opera in the home theater to a full-size tent and the operas of Puccini, some of which Maazel had never conducted in a staged performance. A particular highlight was the “Trittico” of 2010, the festival’s second full season, which featured some thrilling vocal performances and world-class conducting from the maestro, drawn from an orchestra of young instrumentalists from around the globe.
NEW YORK — The Emmys, in recent years, have more or less adopted the voting habits of a reasonably urbane TV viewer. The voting body appears to make a good faith effort to watch and appreciate lots of diverse television, on network and cable and Netflix, seeking out some little-watched series as well as the zeitgeist-capturing ones. If, as the nominations suggest, the voters still get moony-eyed about famous actors and shows that look like “serious dramas” (ahem, House of Cards, Downton Abbey), they now also pay regular fealty to Louis C.K. and Lena Dunham and know when it’s time to start snubbing Homeland. If they haven’t gotten around to watching The Americans or Broad City, they at least fell in love with True Detective and recognized Amy Schumer. If the movie and miniseries categories have been highly massaged or finessed or, shall we say, manslaughtered — an episode of Sherlock was nominated as a movie; Treme’s fourth season was nominated as mini-series; Fargo’s Allison Tolman, the lead on that show that hopes for a second season, was nominated for best supporting actress in a miniseries-at least they’re all deserving. The Emmys are doing what they can to try to please as many people as possible. And you know what happens to people-pleasers. The simple fact is it’s no fun being reasonable about the Emmys. Sure, Orange Is the New Black got nominated for Best Comedy Series, Best Writing and Best Directing, and Taylor Schilling, Natasha Lyonne, Uzo Aduba, Laverne Cox and Kate Mulgrew all received nods for their acting on the show. But where is Broad City and Brooklyn 99? American Horror Story, Fargo, Treme and Luther make Best Miniseries an extremely strong category. But did anyone voting for an Emmy actually watch Bonnie & Clyde ?? Best Actor in a Drama is stacked: Bryan Cranston, Jon Hamm, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Kevin Spacey and, oh, what on earth — Jeff Daniels for Newsroom ?! It’s great Julianna Margulies, Josh Charles and Christine Baranski got nominations, but how could The Good Wife, by far the year’s best network show, get shut out of Best Drama?!? Look, Louie and Veep and Orange are great, and the nomination for Silicon Valley is pretty unexpected and interesting, but Modern Family and Big Bang Theory for Best Comedy again???

flooding Carl’s character with the foodworshipping soul of a chef. On a stop at an Austin barbecue joint to pick up an order of crusty, slow-cooked briskets, Carl takes one bite and all but throws the slab down on the table to ravish it. As the three add up the miles, El Jefe (the truck and the chef) finds fame growing thanks to some savvy social media work from Percy. Father and son discover they have more in common than they thought and the connection comes via the food they make
together. Favreau has assembled a terrific cast for a road trip that is joyous and revelatory, all set to a great soundtrack, which makes the final 10 minutes of Chef so disappointing. In choosing to tie up loose ends with an obvious and too-easy ending, the delicious movie meal ends not with flair and adventure, but molten chocolate cake.

Lorin Maazel in 2011, leading a dress rehearsal for La Boheme at his Castleton festival. The conductor, a child prodigy and brilliant music director, died on July 13 at his home in Castleton, Va.
Maazel a musical titan BY ANNE MIDGETTE ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES
AN APPRECIATION
I am stricken to hear of the death Sunday of Lorin Maazel at his home, Castleton Farms, Va., in the middle of the festival that he and his wife, Dietlinde Turban-Maazel, founded there, and that now continues without him. He was 84 years old and had been suffering from what Nancy Gustafson, Castleton’s executive director, described as an unexplained illness following a kind of collapse from fatigue after spending much of the spring jetting back and forth between Asia, Europe and North America for various high-profile conducting gigs. The official cause of death was “complications following pneumonia.” He had appeared on the Castleton Festival opening night on June 28, looking frail and half-supporting himself on the walls as he gingerly made his way to the mike stand to address the audience before the opening of Madame Butterfly, which he was scheduled to, but did not, conduct. Instead, he spoke about the ability of opera to move past verisimilitude to present something true to its listeners. It may have been his last public appearance. Maazel was a musical titan who
ruled at the podium with a cool, penetrating technical brilliance. This made him a divisive figure through his career, particularly since he didn’t suffer fools lightly; he was not always beloved of the orchestras he led as music director, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Cleveland Orchestra among them. I remember the first time I heard him conduct, a Don Carlo at the Salzburg Festival: excited at the prospect of hearing him, I was somewhat taken aback at what I might call the ruthlessness of the execution, which I described at the time as akin to a BMW on the German autobahn, a model of technical engineering with the ability to race over everything in its path. That technical engineering, however, made possible some brilliant performances; it was refreshing to hear him lead the NSO, an orchestra that hasn’t always had the advantage of technically accomplished leadership, in 2009. He seemed to mellow in his later years. His 2001 appointment as music director of the New York Philharmonic, controversial when it was made, proved not the unmitigated disaster some critics prognosticated; he rightly saw it as a cap to an illustrious career,
STORY FROM PAGE D1
CHEF: Each cooking scene looks like a music video The critic eviscerates Carl, right down to some fat shaming. A Twitter war erupts — aided by Carl’s ignorance of the workings of social media. Carl, an easily cowed sort despite the letters spelling El Jefe (the chief) tattooed across his knuckles, erupts with uncharacteristic fury when he reads his online smackdown. He packs up his knives and walks out. But to do what? Turns out his wife has another ex (Robert Downey Jr. in a fun cameo) in Miami who wants to set Carl up with a food truck. It’s a junker,
sort of like Carl’s life. But there’s a chance at redemption here. Carl is reluctant at first, but maybe taking Percy along as a pseudo sous chef on the cross-country trip back to L.A. might help mend some fences while giving Carl a way to get back the culinary creativity beaten out of him lately. With Leguizamo’s Martin enthusiastically on board, Cubano sandwiches form the bedrock of the food truck (named El Jefe) fare. A grabby soundtrack (shades of Swingers’ fantastic big band tune-work) heavy on soul and Afro-Cuban beats from the likes of Pete Rodriguez and Perico Hernandez, makes each cooking scene look like a music video. Favreau was schooled in cookery by L.A. chef and food truck king Roy Choi and appears confident and at ease when preparing dishes, although he’s acknowledged there were some assists from professionals in close-up work. That’s OK, his enthusiasm is genuine,

Brash stage legend dies at 89 ELAINE STRITCH
NEW YORK — Elaine Stritch, the brash theatre performer whose gravelly, gin-laced voice and impeccable comic timing made her a Broadway legend, has died. She was 89. Joseph Rosenthal, Stritch’s longtime attorney, said the actress died Thursday of natural causes at her home in Birmingham, Michigan. Although Stritch appeared in movies and on television, garnering three Emmys and finding new fans as Alec Baldwin’s unforgiving mother on 30 Rock, she was best known for her stage work, particularly in her candid one-woman memoir, Elaine Stritch: At Liberty, and in the Stephen Sondheim musical Company. A tart-tongued monument to New York show business endurance, Stritch worked well into her late 80s, most recently as Madame Armfeldt in a revival of Sondheim’s musical A Little Night Music. She replaced Angela Lansbury in 2010 to critical acclaim. In 2013, Stritch — whose signature “no pants” style was wearing a loose-fitting white shirt over sheer black tights — retired to Michigan after 71 years in New York City and made a series of farewell performances at the Carlyle Hotel: Elaine Stritch at the Carlyle: Movin’ Over and Out. She said she suffered from diabetes, a broken hip and memory loss — all of which she nakedly and unapologetically documented in the film Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me, a documentary released in February. “I like the courage of age,” Stritch said in the film, one she participated in grudgingly. One scene captured her in a hospital bed, reflecting: “It’s time for me, and I can feel it everywhere.” Stritch’s death immediately sent shockwaves through Broadway and entertainment. Lena Dunham said on Twitter, “Here’s to the lady who lunched: Elaine Stritch, we love you. May your heaven be a booze-soaked, no-pants solo show at the Carlyle.” Stritch was a striking woman, with a quick wit, a shock of blond hair and great legs. She showed them off most elegantly in At Liberty, wearing a loose fitting white shirt, high heels and black tights. In the show, the actress told the story of her life — with all its ups, downs and in-betweens. She frankly discussed her stage fright, missed showbiz opportunities, alcoholism, battle with diabetes and love life, all interspersed with songs she often sang onstage. “What’s this all been about then — this existential problem in tights,” Stritch said of herself at the end of the solo show, which opened off-Broadway in November 2001, transferred to Broadway the following February and later toured. It earned her a Tony Award in 2002 and an Emmy when it was later televised on HBO. “I think I know what I have been doing up here tonight. I’ve been reclaiming a lot of my life that I wasn’t honestly and truly there for,” she said. “It almost all happened without me but I caught up.” In Company (1970), Stritch played the acerbic Joanne, delivering a lacerating version of The Ladies Who Lunch, a classic Sondheim song dissecting the modern Manhattan matron. Stritch originated the role in New York and then appeared in the London production. Among her other notable Broadway appearances were as Grace, the owner of a small-town Kansas restaurant in William Inge’s Bus Stop (1955), and as a harried cruise-ship social director in the Noel Coward musical Sail Away (1961). She also appeared in revivals of Show Boat (1994), in which she played the cantankerous Parthy Ann Hawks, and Edward Albee’s A Delicate Balance (1996), portraying a tarttongued, upper-crust alcoholic. Each generation found her relevant and hip. She was parodied in 2010 on an episode of The Simpsons in which Lisa Simpson attends a fancy performing arts camp. One class was on making wallets with Elaine Stritch and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Stritch got a kick out of it. “That’s worth being in the business for 150 years,” she said with a laugh. Stritch’s films include A Farewell to Arms (1957), Who Killed Teddy Bear? (1965), Alain Resnais’ Provi-

She was 89. dence (1977), Out to Sea (1997), and Woody Allen’s September (1987) and Small Time Crooks (2000). She also appeared in many American TV series, most notably a guest spot on Law & Order in 1990, which won Stritch her first Emmy. Back in 1950, she played Trixie, Ed Norton’s wife, in an early segment of The Honeymooners, then a recurring sketch on Jackie Gleason’s variety show Cavalcade of Stars. But she was replaced by Joyce Randolph after one appearance. More than a half-century later, Stritch was back at the top of the sitcom pyramid with a recurring role in 30 Rock, winning her another Emmy in 2007 as best guest actress in a comedy. She was also well known to TV audiences in England, where she starred with Donald Sinden in the sitcom Two’s Company (1975-79), playing an American mystery writer to Sinden’s unflappable British butler. Stritch also starred in Nobody’s Perfect (19801982), appearing with Richard Griffiths in this British version of the American hit Maude. She starred in the London stage productions of Neil Simon’s The Gingerbread Lady and Tennessee Williams’ Small Craft Warnings. It was in England that Stritch met and married actor John Bay. They were married for 10 years. He died of a brain tumour in 1982. Emmy oversight to test our taste against.
STORY FROM PAGE D2
MAAZEL: One of the most important artists of our time
EMMYS: Disagreeing with them is proof you have your own TV taste SO BORING, EMMYS!! SO BORING!! And all due respect to Margulies, Kerry Washington, Lizzy Caplan, Claire Danes and Robin Wright, but where in the name of all that is just and holy is Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany????? Do any of these other women play nine different people in one show????? I THINK NOT! I kid — kind of. The Emmys are now generally sophisticated enough that getting exercised about them feels worth it. And that, more than anything, is a reflection of just how much excellent television the Emmys has to choose from. The Emmys, even when not making boneheaded mistakes — I see your Best Actor in a Comedy category, Emmys, and don’t get me started about that Ricky Gervais nomination or I will All Caps the rest of this piece — couldn’t possibly acknowledge everyone deserving. And this is obviously great, if occasionally infuriating. But it’s infuriating in an invigorating way: Who wants to have exactly the same opinions as the Emmys? To agree with an entity that once ignored “The Wire” and “Buffy” and continues to snub the best clone actress of all time? Disagreeing with the Emmys is proof that you have your own TV taste, thank goodness. If we scream and moan loud enough, maybe next year, Maslany will finally be nominated. And then we’ll have to find some other disgraceful
In the obituaries and tributes that will flood the media in the coming hours and days and weeks, Castleton will not play as large as the major international ensembles Maazel shaped and led, including the Bavarian Radio Orchestra, the Vienna State Opera, and the Munich Philharmonic, where he took on a late and unexpected music directorship in 2012 — a directorship that he resigned in June, as a result of the fatigue from overwork that laid him low and ultimately led to his death. But Castleton offered a closer and more personal look at Maazel’s life and work, and even family — his three children with Dietlinde, Orson, Leslie and Tara, were always in evidence and involved in various ways with the proceedings. (He is also survived by four other children and four grandchildren.) For this critic, at least, it was a rewarding new perspective on the work of a musician who was, however much he divided opinions, one of the most important artists of our time.
Notes from TV press tour BY HANK STUEVER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES BEVERLY HILLS, California — The Television Critics Association’s annual summer press tour chugs ever on, as a couple hundred reporters and critics make like a sequestered jury in the Beverly Hilton hotel for three weeks to get a good, long look at what’s ahead for the fall season and beyond. Random notes, observations and tidbits thus far, a week into it . . . ● The peacock relocates some pride: At an executive Q&A panel Sunday, NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt touted improved numbers and said that the network leads its competitors in some key demos, even if you take the Winter Olympics out of the equation. In late night, The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon is still way ahead of both Jimmy Kimmel and David Letterman’s shows. There’s still a long way to go and Greenblatt, once the entertainment head at Showtime, spoke about the struggles of making the kind of broadcast shows that can compete with the quality of what you see on premium cable. It’s a matter of production (NBC launches a dozen or more new shows a year) and something far more ineffable: viewer perception. Take Hannibal, for example, which is as dark and broody as anything on cable and has gotten good reviews, but, Greenblatt said: “We still struggle to find an audience for it. It’s great. We’re keeping it going. . . . But if this were on a cable network, the small audience wouldn’t matter, and it would be deemed successful, more successful than it is on our network, and I don’t know why 5 million people or 8 million people won’t watch Hannibal on a broadcast network. . . . The minute you try to do something that is dark and subversive and frightening and gets into that territory, you start to peel away the mass audience. It’s just the way it is.” ● Christopher Walken is Captain Hook: no announcement on who’s playing the lead in Peter Pan Live!” (ordered up after last year’s ratings hit The Sound of Music Live!), but Walken will indeed play the villain with the dangerous prosthetic. It’s scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 4. ● New Cosby: Thirty years after The Cosby Show helped propel NBC into its golden “must-see TV” era, programming head Jennifer Salke said the network continues work on a traditional sitcom that will bring back Bill Cosby, 77, as the granddad of a large multi-generational brood. The NBC execs made it sound as if they’d like to air it next summer. ● The Comeback’s comeback: filming has wrapped on the loooong-awaited second season of co-creator Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow’s short-lived 2005 HBO comedy The Comeback, in which Kudrow once again plays the vain but insecure ’90s sitcom star Valerie Cherish. It’s a decade after Valerie’s unwise participation in a reality show, but she’s noticed there’s more television content than ever out there and she wants a piece of it. She winds up getting a chance to appear in an HBO series and allows the show’s “behind-the-scenes” crew to follow her. The six-episode run will include many characters from the original (including Robert Michael Morris as Valerie’s loyal hairdresser, Mickey) and will air in November. Kudrow’s other riffy comedy, Showtime’s Web Therapy, will be airing around the same time, on a different night. It’s almost unheard of for a star to have shows on both HBO and Showtime. ● Olive Kitteridge: Oscar-winning actress Frances McDormand produced and stars in HBO’s four-part adaptation of Elizabeth Strout’s Pulitzer-winning novel about an unhappy schoolteacher in Maine. It looks absolutely depressing (in the very best sense of the word) and also airs this fall.

BYSTROM Catherine 1923 - 2014 Catherine passed away peacefully on June 21, 2014 at the Cochrane Bethany Care Center, at the age of 91 years. Catherine was born in Austria April 18, 1923 to Paul and Mary Hansinger. The family with the new addition of her brother Paul immigrated to Canada and homesteaded in the Leslieville/Bingley area. She loved attending school and her horse “Bill”. Life was challenging during her early years, learning to speak English, helping the family breaking land, picking roots, milking cows, caring for siblings as well as experiencing the depression years and the “war” years. Her first job was at Evarts where she assisted with the post office and telephone exchange. It was at this time that she met and married Langton Wells in 1946 and they farmed in the Benalto area. After Langton’s passing she relocated to Rocky and worked at the Rocky Hospital. She spent a year in Calgary earning her hair dressers certificate. In 1961 Catherine married Ed Bystrom and they farmed in the Centerville (Sylvan Lake area). After Ed’s passing she moved to Red Deer where she was active in the business community for several years. On retirement Catherine moved to Peachland, B.C. where she enjoyed many happy years. She travelled to Europe, Bermuda, took several cruises and many motoring holidays with family and friends. Her Benalto friends Mr. and Mrs. Carl Jenson and Mr. and Mrs. Harrision Benner who had retired to Summerland were very special to Catherine. Mom and I spent the last ten years together and she loved her time in the Canadian Rockies. I was able to be her caregiver until the last five months when she was moved to the care center. It was a difficult adjustment as Catherine succumbed to Alzheimers. Wherever Catherine lived she gardened and numerous times created beautiful and peaceful havens. Although gardening was her passion during the summer, she was always busy knitting, sewing, quilting, needlework and of course her love of reading. Catherine is survived by her daughter Judy Riedner of Banff; her daughter-in-law, Marilyn Wells (MacDonald) of Scotch Creek, B.C.; her brother Peter Hansinger of Leslieville; her brother Will (Faye) Hansinger of Westbridge, B.C.; her grandson Grayson Wells of Kelowna; her grand daughter Tina Riedner of Calgary and her grandson Marcus (Sarah) Riedner and great grandson Sam Riedner of Calgary. Catherine is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and extended family. Catherine was predeceased by her son Bruce in 2006. It was Catherine’s request that she not have a funeral and that she be cremated. Catherine’s internment will be in Mountain View Cemetery in Banff in the shelter of the Canadian Rockies she loved so much.

PAULY Frances (nee Wideman) 1923-2014 Frances was born December 24, 1923 on the family homestead near Fleet, Alberta. She was the youngest of three daughters in the Wilmot and Sarah Wideman household. She attended rural schools and high school in Fleet, before graduating from both Mountain View Bible College and Calgary General Hospital School of Nursing. As a young nurse in Castor, Alberta, she met and fell in love with one of her patients, William Pauly. Frances and Bill married on October 27, 1953, and enjoyed 59 years of marriage until Bill’s passing in 2012. Together, they modeled a faithful commitment to God, each other, their family, and their church. Frances’ life was one of cheerful service and giving to others. As a very young woman she helped care for her invalid mother until her passing, and later did the same for her sister Ruby, her father, and most recently Bill. Frances’ deep love for her Lord was daily reflected in her care of others. Her family and friends fondly remember Sunday dinners, countless hours of gardening and canning, the warm smell of baked treats and the many lovingly prepared care packages. Her hands were seldom still, and in later years bore the evidence of a lifetime of diligent labor. Frances entered her eternal rest and reward on July 14, 2014. Well done, good and faithful servant. Frances Pauly is survived by her children Rob (Lori) Pauly of Red Deer, Jan (Harley) Annett of Scapa, James (Bernie) Pauly of Victoria, B.C, Gary (Kathy) Pauly of Olds, and Donald (Kelly) Pauly of Lethbridge, fifteen grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.

A large cloud rises over wildfires in Eastern Washington as seen from University District in Seattle, Wash.
Hundreds of homes threatened in Cascade Range wildfires BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SPOKANE, Wash. — A fast-growing cluster of wildfires scorching north-central Washington state’s scenic Methow Valley burned at least two homes Thursday, authorities said. The Carlton Complex of fires covers 28 square miles of the valley near the town of Twisp, and is being pushed by high temperatures and strong winds. Fire spokesman Jacob McCann also said there have been unconfirmed reports that eight other homes have burned in the four blazes that make up the complex and noted that “we have extreme fire behaviour and rapid growth.” The fires have prompted the closure of Highway 20 at Loup Loup Pass, he said. Meanwhile, another wildfire about 100 miles south chased people from nearly 900 homes as it burned near the Bavarian-themed village of Leavenworth. The Chiwaukum Creek Fire sent a light dusting of ash over Leavenworth, where the Germanstyle motif provides a backdrop to Oktoberfest and a Christmas tree lighting festival. The fire’s smoke plume rose 25,000 feet into the air. The blaze closed 35 miles of U.S. Highway 2, stretching from Leavenworth to Stevens Pass in the Cascade Mountains. “There’s a huge cloud of smoke above us,” Don Hurst, a retired firefighter who lives just outside of Leavenworth, said Thursday morning. “The winds started to pick up a little. It’s just like snowfall here with the ash coming down. It’s fine ash. We’re getting all this ash fall.” Residents of 860 homes have been told they should leave immediately, fire officials said. Another 800 homes were less seriously threatened. Authorities said Thursday morning that the Chiwaukum Creek Fire has grown to more than 10 square miles. It was first detected Tuesday. “The weather and winds are not in our favour,” said fire spokeswoman Mary Bean. She

Mexico reports birth of first litter of Mexican grey wolf pups in wild in re-introduction effort MEXICO CITY — Mexico is reporting the birth of the first known litter of Mexican grey wolves in the wild as part of a seven-year effort to re-introduce the subspecies to a habitat where it disappeared three decades ago. Mexico’s National Commission for Natural Protected Areas says the wolf pups were sighted in June by a team of researchers in the western Sierra Madre mountains. It says the pups appeared to be doing well. The parents had been released in December, with hopes they would reproduce. The Mexican grey wolf was almost wiped out in the U.S. Southwest. The last five survivors were captured between 1977 and 1980, then bred in captivity. The first wolves were re-introduced into the wild in the U.S. Southwest starting in 1998, mainly in Arizona and New Mexico.
U.S. judge hears arguments in lawsuit filed over Earhart airplane search CASPER, Wyo. — The search for Amelia Earhart’s missing airplane could land in front of a U.S. jury, depending on how a judge rules in a lawsuit filed by a man who says he was duped into donating $1 million for an expedition. A U.S. District judge heard arguments Thursday on dismissing a lawsuit that centres on whether Earhart’s plane, which disappeared in July 1937 in the South Pacific, was found. Tim Mellon maintains in his lawsuit that the U.S.-based The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery and its executive director, Ric E. Gillespie, actually found Earhart’s plane in 2010. Mellon, son of the late philanthropist Paul Mellon, says the group kept the discovery secret so he would keep giving it money. However, the expedition group maintains it did nothing wrong because there was no conclusive evidence whether it had found Earhart’s plane. The searchers have seen a few man-made materials on the ocean floor in the area where
said temperatures were expected to top 100 degrees with winds gusting to 30 mph in the area Thursday. She said the cause of the fire is under investigation. About 1,000 firefighters were fighting blazes around the state that included the Mills Canyon Fire, the state’s largest at 35 square miles. Worsening wildfire activity has prompted the governor’s offices in both Washington and Oregon to declare states of emergency, a move that allows state officials to call up the National Guard. Elsewhere across the West: ● OREGON: A fire that started Wednesday afternoon in a northeast Oregon field raced quickly across as much as 20,000 acres, or some 30 square miles, before firefighters stopped its advance, the Morrow County sheriff’s office said. Undersheriff Steven Myren said no homes or other buildings were lost, “although the fire did get uncomfortably close to some.” Several other fires have blackened parts of the state. ● UTAH: A wildfire encroaching on homes in the Tooele County town of Stockton had burned about 200 acres. Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands spokesman Jason Curry said the fire burned part of a water tower but it’s believed no homes have been destroyed. A 27-year-old Tooele man has been arrested on charges that he ignited the fire with matches. ● IDAHO: In central Idaho, the lightningcaused Preacher Fire has scorched more than 50 square miles, burning quickly through grass and brush. ● CALIFORNIA: Evacuation orders have been called off for several rural homes in Northern California as firefighters took advantage of cool, moist conditions. Some residents near the destructive fire in Shasta County have been advised they may need to evacuate again. The blaze has burned more than 10,000 acres, or nearly 17 square miles. Marijuana-growing activity led to the fire starting Friday, authorities have said. it thinks Earhart’s plane crashed. The judge said he will issue a ruling later but did not specify a date. After the hearing, Gillespie said the group would be ridiculed if it had declared it found Earhart’s plane based on an undersea video of a few objects. Tim Stubson, a lawyer representing Mellon, said whether Earhart’s plane has been found is central to determining whether fraud has occurred. Earhart was trying to become the first woman aviator to circle the globe when she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared. The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery has staged repeated expeditions to search the waters around the Kiribati atoll of Nikumaroro, about 2,895 kilometres south of Hawaii.
Ex-Colombia agriculture minister sentenced to 17 years in jail for diverting farm subsidies BOGOTA, Colombia — A close ally of former President Alvaro Uribe was sentenced in absentia Thursday to more than 17 years in prison for diverting farm subsidies in one of the most prominent corruption cases tied to Uribe’s conservative administration. Colombia’s Supreme Court handed down the sentence against former Agriculture Minister Andres Felipe Arias, who was found guilty taking money intended for small-scale farmers and channeling it to some of the country’s richest landowners. Arias, who is believed to be in the United States, has denied any wrongdoing. The case is just one of a number of investigations against former officials that Uribe says are being urged on by President Juan Manuel Santos. The claim underscores the bitter feuding between the two former allies that dominated last month’s presidential election and that is likely to continue when the still-powerful Uribe takes up a seat in the Senate on Sunday. Among Uribe allies facing charges are the former president’s top legal adviser and a former peace commissioner in his 2002-10 U.S.backed administration. The former head of Colombia’s disbanded secret intelligence agency is serving a 25-year sentence for ties to paramilitary groups and Santos’ government is also seeking the extradition of another Uribe spy chief, Maria del PIlar Hurtado, who fled to Panama after being charged with deploying illegal wiretaps on Supreme Court justices, journalists and human rights activists.
