Addicted to chucks MARVIN, LINDA, MARTINA AND ZACHARY HUBL PUT ON AS MANY AS 15,000 KM GOING TO A DOZEN RACES IN THE SUMMER MONTHS

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF A chuckwagon race is less than two minutes of rolling thunder, but families will spend multiple generations trying to shave seconds off a lap time.

For Alhambra’s Hubl family, it is a pursuit that goes back almost 100 years PONY CHUCKWAGON and continues this week at RESULTS B6 the North American Pony Chuckwagon Championship at Westerner Days in Red Deer.

Linda Shippelt-Hubl grew up in the sport — she is a self-professed track brat.

Her father Willie Shippelt was one of the sport’s top drivers for much of the mid-to late 1900s while competing alongside her uncles Mike Shippelt and Tom Gilks.

It was a true family affair as the three families and their 14 children spent their weekends bombing through the Prairies going to race tracks.

Almost all of the kids became involved in racing.

But for Linda, it became a life-long addiction.

She met her husband Marvin Hubl, 51, in 1983 and by the next season she had him racing chariots right next to her. In 1990, they were both in wagons and have been mainstays on the All Pro Canadian Chuckwagon and Chariot Association since.

“I never had to grow up, I’m still able to race,” said Linda, 56.

“It’s an adrenaline rush, when the horn blows and stuff starts happening, yeah, I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie.”

This season is fast turning into one of Linda’s best on the circuit driving the Red Deer, Rocky Mountain House and Ponoka Kentucky Fried Chicken wagon.

She sits third in the All Pro Canadian Chuckwagon Photos by ASHLI BARRETT/Advocate Staff and Chariot Association overall standings, heading ABOVE: Marvin and Linda Shippelt-Hubl and their children Martina and Zachary Hubl hang out by their into Westerner Days, with 277.5 points.

Investment adviser banned failing to know essential facts related to his clients, making unsuitable recommendations and engaging in unauthorized discretionary trading. It also said that he failed to co-operate with the investigation.

The panel said Christine Malley also breached IIROC rules by failing to exercise her supervisory responsibilities. It found that she also had failed to co-operate with the investigation.

On Thursday, the panel announced the penalties it is imposing on the Malleys. Both are banned permanently from registering with IIROC in any capacity, with Brian Malley fined $300,000 and Christine Malley $250,000. They have also been ordered to pay investigation costs of $35,000 and $15,000 respectively.

In a 29-page document outlining the reasons for its decision and the penalties imposed, the panel said Brian Malley’s misconduct was “egregious and warrants the severe disciplinary responses, including permanent prohibition.” It added that Christine Malley was aware of the investments being made by her husband on behalf of his clients and but “exercised no supervisory oversight.”

The Malleys did not attend interviews arranged

by IIROC and sought to have their hearing postponed until after the criminal proceedings against Brian Malley. But their application for a stay was rejected by the panel.

Brian Malley’s criminal trial is scheduled to begin on Jan. 26, 2015. He is charged with first-degree murder, causing an explosion likely to cause harm or death, and sending an explosive device.

The Malleys have also been named in a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of Assante clients whose investments were managed by Brian Malley. It seeks $80 million in damages, with Assante also named as a defendant.

The Malleys had worked as registered representatives with Assante since 2000. Both were terminated by the company in May 2012.

The allegations contained in the criminal charges against Brian Malley and in the statement of claim for the class action lawsuit against him and Christine Malley have not been proven in court.

McIver said he would also introduce a volunteer work program for inmates in provincial jails. The federal government currently has two such programs.

And he would eliminate traffic cameras that catch speeders going through green lights, calling them a “regressive tax” on motorists.

McIver is vying with Jim Prentice and Thomas Lukaszuk for the Tory leadership and premier’s job.

CALGARY — Alberta Tory leadership candidate Ric McIver says if he became premier he would put inmates to work in jail and make them wear ankle bracelets after they’re out.

McIver announced his justice platform Friday in Calgary.

He said he would require high-risk offenders guilty of domestic violence to wear the tracking devices upon release.

That’s already being done as a pilot project in Red Deer and McIver says he would expand it across Alberta.

“This is simply the right thing to do if you believe that protecting victims of crime is very important and that the rights of victims should trump the rights of offenders.”

The former investment adviser accused of murdering an Innisfail mother has been permanently banned from the industry by the Investment Industry Regulation Organization of Canada (IIROC).

Brian Andrew Malley was arrested in May 2012 in connection with the Nov. 25, 2011, death of Vicky Shachtay. RCMP say the 23-year-old disabled mother was killed by a bomb that was delivered to her home.

Malley, who was a registered representative of Assante Capital Management Inc. in Red Deer, was subsequently investigated by IIROC. It alleged that more than 50 of his clients complained that he mishandled their accounts, with many claiming to have suffered substantial losses as a result.

Malley’s wife, Christine Marie Malley, was also investigated by IIROC. She worked for Assante as a branch manager and Brian Malley’s supervisor in Red Deer.

In March, a hearing panel concluded that Brian Malley had violated several IIROC rules, including

STORY FROM PAGE A2

HUBL: Stock of horses will approach 20 on the farm When the weekend is over, they have to pack up camp and drive back home so they can get to work on Monday morning — Marvin runs the family farm and drives truck while Linda is a dental hygienist and runs a business out of their house.

“The actual horse care part, I don’t think any of us really mind that part, that’s part and parcel of racing. That’s easy,” said Linda. “It’s the ‘I have to make a living to go racing’ that gets to you. But I don’t want to complain, I have great employers that allow me lots of flexibility.”

Making the sport a little more financially feasible is the support they have received through the years from Central Alberta businesses and help from local individuals to get down the road or even for pasture land for the horses. It is a tight-knit community unto itself.

They also have been smart about how they handle their equipment, purchasing or making all of it — like their wagons — and making it last.

“There’s only two wagons like this out there and to us they’re the best units out there,” said Marvin.

At any given time, the Hubls’ stock of horses will approach 20 on the farm. They have eight regular horses between their two teams and a couple of spares ready to go if one of the regulars gets hurt.

They are also always working on new teams and bringing up new horses. A good chuck horse is tough to find, but can be worth their weight in gold.

“You’ve got to make them and it takes years to get a good one,” said Marvin.

“To make a lead horse, it sometimes takes three years after they’re broke with another good horse, that way, after three years, they should be able to turn around and teach another one.”

Marvin and Linda, despite being competitors on the track, work well off of it, helping spot areas they can improve on and sharing horses in a pinch.

It all helps to keep it somewhat amicable during a race, though those stakes rose a few years ago while at a race in Williams Lake, B.C. The track announcer got into the idea of the married couple competing against each other and helped concoct an ongoing bet between the two.

“If she beats me in the day, then I’ve got to cook for her in the night. But if I beat her, she’s got to cook for me,” said Marvin. “Lately I’ve been cooking a lot, she’s been

beating me quite often.”

In 2002 in Ponoka, things did get a little heated between the two on the track, as they ended up threeabreast on the back stretch. Marvin was borrowing one of Linda’s horses, and they started sniping back and forth.

“I was killing myself laughing and yelling back, and the guy in the middle between us looks at me and looks at her, he pulls up and lets us go — it was priceless,” said Marvin. “We had a heck of a race right to the finish line. I think I nosed her out by a couple one hundredths (of a second), but it was close.”

Both have won many races over the years, but what stands out the most in their minds is the finishes, even when they don’t win. For them, nothing beats going for the finish line with all four wagons within a nose of each other.

Now it’s about seeing how their new stock — both the four-legged and two-legged variety — develop.

As the years tick by, carrying on that family legacy has become all the more important.

Even Linda’s wagon is emblazoned with the silhouette of her father driving his team of horses in a race. When she got married, she kept her maiden name as a matter of professional consistency, but she’s now glad that she kept it for legacy reasons.

Guards disciplined for allowing murder suspect to escape from hospital EDMONTON — Alberta’s justice department says it has disciplined some of its correctional officers following the escape of a murder suspect in hospital.

Officials say a review found the staff didn’t follow protocol and could have prevented the escape.

They would not reveal how many officers were disciplined or what their punishments were.

Christopher Nagel was facing a charge of firstdegree murder in the death of his wife, when he was taken to Edmonton’s University of Alberta Hospital in May. Her father died 10 years ago but said he’d be thrilled to see his grand kids keeping the family business going.

“Towards the end of his racing career, he was the main babysitter, so he had them in the cab of his truck right up against the fence watching all the action and he’s informing them of what I did right and what I did wrong,” said Linda.

“If we’d have had the little minis then, he’d maybe have lived longer. I know he’d think it’s pretty special.”

A brush with a high-speed artist

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF It was somehow fitting that performance painter Dave Sharp was in a hurry on Friday and could spare only a few minutes for an interview.

After all, the high-speed artist had just entertained an audience at Westerner Days Fair and Exposition by banging out an impressively moody painting of Batman in somewhere around seven minutes.

Sometimes us‘I GET TO PERFORM ing two brushes at once, Batman TO MUSIC, I GET TO emerged quickly as PAINT, I GET TO SELL rock tunes blasted THEM AFTERWARDS. in the background.

By the time the THERE’S AN ENDLESS notes faded in the LIST OF THINGS I second song, Jimi Hendrix’s All Along LOVE ABOUT IT.’ the Watchtower, Batman was com— DAVE SHARP plete to a round of applause.

For the artist from Wales in the United Kingdom, speed painting has been a relatively recent skill.

He took it up after seeing a performance painter on a Disney cruise ship where he was drumming in a band.

“I’ve always been an artist, but I had never seen anything like that before. I felt compelled to go and do it really.”

Intrigued, he went home and practised creating paintings in minutes.

He did a few charity jobs, then landed an agent, who signed him up for fairs.

“It all really kicked off from there,” says the 30-year-old. “I’ve been at it for about two, two and a half years.”

On his current swing, he has already been to Lloydminster, and after Red Deer will head to Edmonton, Regina and then Prince Edward Island before heading home in late August.

Over Christmas, he’ll be back on a Miami-based cruise ship performing as a singer, a job he was doing just before his summer painting tour. He’s hoping to take his performance painting to cruise ships as well.

Last year, he did about 120 painting performances at fairs and he enjoys the freedom and variety of the job.

“Everyone’s completely different and I can do what I want really,” he said. “I get to perform to music, I get to paint, I get to sell them afterwards.

“There’s an endless list of things I love about it.”

Last year, Sharp showed off his talent to judges, including Simon Cowell, in auditions for Britain’s Got Talent TV contest. His Michael Jackson-inspired dance routine while doing a speed painting of the King of Pop went over big.

He now has about 30 paintings in his artistic arsenal, including Marilyn Monroe, rapper Tupac Shakur and Albert Einstein, but focuses on a few of the most popular for the fair circuit.

His top seller is a painting of actor Heath Ledger’s The Joker, complete with the green-haired, whitefaced master criminal’s disturbingly devilish glare.

Speed painter Dave Sharp works an Ironman piece during one of his performances at Adventure Alley at the 2014 Westerner Fair and Exhibition. The artist from Colwyn Bay, Wales, painted the piece in a matter of just a few minutes. He once appeared on ‘Britain’s Got Talent.’

“The Joker is easily the big one. And I totally get it. It’s got great colours and he’s just bad ass really.”

Iron Man is his personal favourite and he loves all of the comic book-related movies that have been storming the box office in recent years.

“I want to do Gretzky when I go to Edmonton,” he said, adding he needs to start practising that one before he debuts The Great One for the Oilers faithful.

Sharp says he’s always working to improve his technique and control.

“It’s taking a while to get to the point where I’m not spilling paint absolutely everywhere,” he said, looking down at his spattered pants.

“I’m starting to get control,” he said. By the time, he’d finished his tour last year he could barely walk his paints were so encrusted with paint, he said with a chuckle.

Smith said passersby tried to raise the vehicle using a jack and that a police officer used a defibrillator in an attempt to revive the victim.

The accident occurred on Interstate 87, also known as the Adirondack Northway.

Smith said the injuries among the other passengers included broken bones and cuts. None appeared to be life-threatening. All passengers — between six and 54 years old — were taken to hospital.

There was no apparent sign the 61-year-old driver skidded before the accident.

The cause remains under investigation.

Bar is high for prosecutors in proving Duffy bribery charge: experts

OTTAWA — The bribery provision used to criminally charge Sen. Mike Duffy carries a high threshold of proof because prosecutors will have to show he intended to behave corruptly, legal experts say.

The formidable bar might also help explain why the other party in the transaction — Nigel Wright, the prime minister’s former chief of staff — does not face a bribery charge.

The RCMP have laid 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery against Duffy — many of them connected to expense claims for housing and travel.

The bribery charge, which carries a maximum sentence of 14 years, relates to a $90,000 payment Duffy received from Wright to help cover expenses.

The RCMP said in April that Wright would not be charged.

Wright said at the time he intended to secure the repayment of taxpayer funds, and that he believed his actions were lawful and in the public interest.

State police in New York identified the victim as Chelssy Mercier, 14, and identified her as being from Quebec, without mentioning her hometown.

Authorities said Mercier died after being ejected and becoming trapped underneath the bus, which broke through a guard rail, fell on its side and slid down a grassy hill.

TECUMSEH, Ont. — An evacuation notice has been lifted in a town near Windsor, Ont., after a massive fire at a vegetable processing plant caused a state of emergency and the evacuation of some 1,300 homes.

Bonduelle Canada says it has not confirmed the cause of the fire at its Tecumseh plant but suspects an electrical problem, adding damage is extensive and it will likely be difficult to continue normal production.

VANCOUVER — Linda Corscadden has been watching nervously from the back lawn of her West Kelowna, B.C., home as water bombers strafe a raging fire just a kilometre away.

The Smith Creek wildfire kindled Thursday afternoon and within hours forced 2,500 people from their homes as it swelled to four-square kilometres.

Corscadden fears her neighbourhood will be next to get the order to clear out.

“I got off work in Peachland at about two c’clock (Thursday) and I thought, when I was driving up Old Okanagan Highway, it didn’t look bad,” she said in a phone interview. “And then by three o’clock it had spread and come over that hill and now it’s right in front of my house.”

Corscadden, her son, and mother, were ready to scramble within a moment’s notice.

“My truck was packed as soon as I saw the fire come over the hill there, right in front of my house,” she said.

The air is filled with thick smoke, and trees can occasionally be seen going up in flames, Corscadden said. Many of her neighbours also stayed home from work on Friday, watching the smoky horizon anxiously and hoping they wouldn’t lose their homes to the blaze.

“There are houses on that hillside, so just watching to make sure they don’t go up in flames is actually scary,” Corscadden said. “We’re on the verge of tears because we know they’re working so hard, but it doesn’t seem to be contained at all. It’s spreading.”

HAY’S DAZE

Bruce Lee and Eli Phillips set up the Ferris Wheel at Westerner Park earlier this week. Columnist Harley Hay has lasting memories of the fair: when birthdays come as fast as the spinning Tilt-A-Whirl, grab on to the moment, and a memory or tow.

We started to play and it felt hyperreal and surreal all at the same time.

In the moment, in the music — but all the while, I’m 21-years-old but I’m reliving the magic and the mayhem that the fair and the grandstand and the old fairgrounds and Parkvale gave me every single summer as a kid.

And when our first song ended and the crowd applauded and kept applauding, I looked over to the north from the stage.

I could clearly see our old house in Parkvale, the house that we had moved away from a half dozen years before, and there was a light burning in my old upstairs window. For a moment, I wondered if a kid was glued to that win-

dow. Watching. Like I used to. Knowing that anything is possible at the fair.

I hope so, I thought to myself. I hope so.

So when birthdays are coming and going as fast and furious as a spinning Tilt-A-Whirl, you have to grab on to the moment and a memory or two, because you never know how long the ride’s going to last or when the music is going to stop.

community knew. Reaction was swift and varied. This lady had a large family in and around Red Deer, and they began to gather just outside the kitchen.

What was so tragic in this circumstance was that since January, this 78-pound lady had been living clean, gained some weight and had re-established her faith; and she was relishing it.

Then abruptly near the end of June, she crashed.

What precipitated the crash is something we will never know now; and until the investigation is completed, the exact circumstances of her death are only rumours. The somber atmosphere continued until we started supper.

As well as extreme sorrow, anger at the senselessness of this death set in and it made us look at each other in expectation of what to say.

In the words of one person, “It just makes you want to say I quit, but I guess it’s not that easy.”

The anger prevailed throughout supper, and then to top it off, ‘Sam’ was standing outside the front door selling drugs and then pleading with potential drug users to buy more.

Our reaction was immediate, and he was denied any kitchen services from

this day on and told to move away from this corner altogether.

We just couldn’t believe it — the body had been removed just moments before and here he is peddling more of the same crap!

It’s at times like this that you really have to change your focus — we’ll always have the ‘Sams’ to deal with, but rather than focus on them (that’s the police’s department) our focus should always be on those who need help and the services we offer.

But it is hard to maintain that focus when you are faced with the seemingly senseless death of someone who for six months had found a peace that gave them such extreme joy.

Our mindset should always be on celebrating what to us are small victories, but to the person whose victory it is, it’s huge; besides, it costs so little to give a person a little bit of encouragement on their path to recovery.

For this young woman, after decades of drug use, she spent six months clean and actually living.

So to momentarily fall and to have it result in death, tells me this for her is not the end of the story.

We need a leader who is willing to fail AS VOTERS, WE HAVE TO REMOVE THE THREAT THAT WE’LL CONDEMN THEM AS HYPOCRITES THE FIRST TIME THEY STUMBLE There are a lot of hypocrites in the world. And just as many accusers.

Hollywood entertainers are often accused of being hypocritical for providing sanctimonious advice on things like lifestyle and environmental stewardship — advice they don’t follow themselves.

Politicians get a similar rap for making highminded promises you wonder whether they ever intended to keep.

Organized religion has its critics, too, because our spiritual leaders don’t always live up to the ideals they espouse.

Even the Pope admitted his flock falls well short of their obligations when he estimated that one in 50 priests is a pedophile.

Not every critic is right all the time, but it is fun to track what people in the spotlight say they should do and what they actually do.

DOUG It turns out that tracking FIRBY hypocrisy is an industry in itself. There are literally hundreds of individuals and organizations around the world who target the failures of people whose values or ideology they do not share.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has been accused of hypocrisy in such publications as The National Post on the right, Canada.com in the centre and Rabble on the left. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been the target of similar accusations in iPolitics, the Toronto Star and Huffington Post.

Even poor Thomas Mulcair, of the NDP, hasn’t escaped criticism by no less than Preston Manning, for opposing Alberta’s oilsands while turning a blind eye to the way hydro-electric energy is produced in Quebec.

All of this finger-pointing has gotten me to question the impact that it has on our ability to recruit top-level leaders to enter politics. Could it be that the inevitability of being accused of doing wrong is enough of a deterrent that some of the best, brightest and most principled people will choose not to run for office?

Instead, we run the risk of attracting those driven by overinflated egos, hubris — or the sheer magnetic appeal of wielding power.

It’s not a happy prospect.

We get angry with our leaders because we have

INSIGHT

been conditioned to have unrealistic expectations of them.

That was the case in the U.S., where Barack Obama rode to victory on a false promise that he would bring about a new social order to that troubled country.

Even if he thought he could, reality showed the dreamy vision was well beyond his grasp. Voters have reacted with bitter disappointment, and a sense of cynicism has overtaken the optimism that arrived with him in the White House.

The risk is the same in Canada, with a charismatic young leader like Trudeau.

He inspires a generation, yet he has shown precious little evidence of the experience or skill to bring his vision into reality.

One fears that if he were to gain power, it might just turn out to be the Great White North’s version of the Obama debacle.

Harper, on the other hand, seems to have held on to power by not overpromising. We don’t expect all that much from a guy who looks like a bureaucrat

on Valium, and hence we are never disappointed. It may not be the best way to run a country, but it gets the job done.

There is a better way, but it requires a new social contract from us, the voters. We have to be willing to take a chance on people who have big ideas — not groundless fantasies, like Obama, but real, achievable goals and are willing to take risks in pursuit of a better country.

In other words, we have to remove the threat that we’ll condemn them as hypocrites the first time they fail to meet a worthy objective.

Scottish author J.M. Barrie wrote, “We are all failures — at least the best of us are.” Trying and failing to achieve an ideal is not a betrayal; it is in fact quite the opposite, a courageous attempt to move the yardsticks down the field.

How we long for a leader who would have the courage to take honest risks for the good of the country.

BRIEFS

Ford dynasty? Rob Ford’s 20-something nephew to run for Toronto council seat TORONTO — Toronto may have a new Ford in town come this fall.

Rob Ford’s nephew Michael Ford has registered to run for councillor in a west-end ward currently held by the mayor’s brother, Doug.

Media reports say the younger Ford is in his early 20s and is the son of Rob Ford’s sister Kathy.

Michael Ford’s Facebook page — which features a campaign-ready photo of him in suit and tie — says he graduated high school in 2010, works for the family’s sign company and is currently finishing college.

Doug Ford, who is serving as his brother’s campaign manager, isn’t running in the October 27 election.

The councillor’s seat, in the heart of so-called “Ford Nation” that Michael Ford is vying for, was held by Rob Ford for 10 years until he ran for mayor and was succeeded by Doug.

Women of child-bearing age warned to avoid Iqaluit dump fire smoke IQALUIT, Nunavut — Women of child-bearing age in the capital of Nunavut are being warned to limit their exposure to smoke from a dump fire that’s been burning for nearly two months.

The Nunavat government put out a public health advisory on Friday with the new warning for women in Iqaluit.

gentaler Clinic to the provincial legislature calling on the government to improve access to abortion, saying the regulations now in place effectively deny women their reproductive rights.

“It is very sad to see the clinic close and also very scary because with the clinic closing we lose 60 per cent of access to abortions in New Brunswick,” said Sorcha Beirne, who helped organize the rally.

“We’re losing access to health care and we’re losing a little bit of hope.”

The Morgentaler Clinic closes at the end of the month, which abortion rights supporters say marks a critical point in their struggle to have Regula-

It says new air quality data indicates the total level of dioxins and furans — toxic chemicals released when hazardous waste is burned —exceed the health standard set by Ontario.

The advisory says while long-term exposure to high levels of dioxins is known to increase cancer risk, the levels of dioxins observed in Iqaluit are far below the health standard for cancer.

But the warning for women of childbearing age has been issued because the Nunavut government says there is a possible risk that dioxins above the standard may lead to decreased fertility in male offspring.

Last month, the Nunavut Health Department warned those with heart and lung disease, the elderly and the very young to stay indoors as much as possible, with the windows closed.

“Based on the new information, women of child-bearing age should also limit their exposure to the dump fire smoke, as a precaution,” the Nunavut government said in its advisory.

“These people should avoid the area around the dump fire and stay indoors as much as possible with the doors and windows closed.”

Iqaluit residents have been living with the fire dubbed the “dumpcano” — a combination of dump and volcano — since it flared up May 20 from spontaneous combustion.

City officials say a lack of money prevents them from dousing the fire.

tion 84-20 of the province’s Medical Services Payment Act repealed.

By law, a woman in New Brunswick who wants an abortion covered by medicare must have two doctors certify in writing that it is medically necessary and the procedure must be carried out by a specialist in one of two approved hospitals. Once the clinic closes, those two hospitals will be the only facilities in the province where abortions will be provided.

The Morgentaler Clinic cited losses of about $100,000 in its decision to shut down after 20 years, saying it couldn’t afford to continue providing abortions that are not publicly funded.

EPIC ROAD TRIPS TRIPS

TRAVEL

of the world’s most amazing drives. So pack up your gear, load the kids in the vehicle, and hit the open road.

Here are three epic road trips that have so much to offer scenically they might even be able to prevent the backseat chorus from chiming: “Are we there yet?”

Dinosaur Trails Located in southeastern Alberta, the Canadian Badlands are as mysterious and compelling as their name implies.

Each hill and rock formation is unique and some have retained the names originally bestowed

by First Nations.

It isn’t hard to imagine dinosaurs roaming this otherworldly moonscape and fittingly, the badlands contain one of the richest deposits of dinosaur fossils in the world, protected in a provincial

park that was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.

One of the world’s premiere museums of paleontology is also located in the region, making this a dinosaur aficionado’s dream vacation.

Top sites to consider exploring on a badlands road trip include the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology (tyrrellmuseum.com), the World’s Largest Dinosaur, Atlas Coal Mine (atlascoalmine. ab.ca) and Dinosaur Provincial Park (albertaparks. ca/dinosaur.aspx).

Consider booking a ranger-led hike at Dinosaur Provincial Park. Or for an epic adventure for older teens and adults, book a dinosaur day dig.

Driving distance from Red Deer to Drumheller is about two hours.

For more info on this region, visit www.canadianbadlands.com.

It seemed as if we had been driving for hours along the edge of the broad rolling prairies when suddenly we passed into a strange lunar landscape filled with hoodoos, pinnacles, mesas, gorges and scruffy hills lined with colourful layers of exposed rock.

You never forget the first time you lay eyes on the ethereal landscapes of the Canadian Badlands and there is no better way to exDEBBIE plore this region of the provOLSEN ince than from the comfort of a vehicle.

Summer is the ideal time for road trips and Central Albertans don’t have to go far to experience some

PAGE B1 (FROM TOP): It isn’t hard to imagine dinosaurs roaming in the strange moonlike landscape of the Canadian Badlands; if you want to go on top of the Athabasca Glacier, these all-terrain vehicles are the way to do it safely (the tour costs $49.95 per adult); it’s the off-the-beaten-path sites that make road tripping fun. Motorcyclists and antique car owners often ride around the badlands. These cars were parked outside the Atlas Coal Mine, a registered National Historic Site.

ROAD TRIP: Be flexible, have fun Icefields Parkway Listed in National Geographic’s Drives of a Lifetime, the Icefields Parkway is arguably one of the most beautiful highways on the planet. The 232-km stretch of roadway between Lake Louise and Jasper passes more than 100 glaciers, snow-capped mountain peaks, powerful waterfalls, aquamarine lakes and abundant wildlife.

People come from around the world to experience this amazing drive, which is virtually in our backyard.

Top sites to consider exploring on this road trip include Lake Louise, the Columbia Icefield Interpretive Centre, the new cliff-edge walkway known as Glacier Skywalk (www.brewster.ca), Peyto Lake Viewpoint (the highest point on the drive), Athabasca Falls, and the many hiking trails and viewpoints that punctuate the highway.

From Red Deer, you can make a driving loop that passes through Banff and Lake Louise before reaching the Icefields Parkway. The route ends in Jasper where you can travel home via Edmonton or Drayton Valley. The entire loop is about 1,050 km roundtrip and there are many campgrounds along the way.

For more information on this drive, visit www.icefieldsparkway.ca or www. pc.gc.ca.

(Note: due to wildfires in Banff National Park, the Bank-Jasper Hwy is currently closed.)

Going-to-the-Sun

stop in Waterton Lakes National Park and take the Chief Mountain border crossing into Montana and Glacier National Park.

Highlights of this journey include Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump (history.alberta.ca/headsmashedin), Waterton Lakes National Park (pc.gc.ca), Glacier National Park (nps.gov/glac) and the Going-to-the-Sun Road.

There are plenty of great hikes and campgrounds in both national parks and the shopping is good in Kalispell.

Be aware that there are length restrictions on RVs and trailers for the Going-to-the-Sun Road.

want to consider putting limits on the amount of high-tech time kids get each day. It’s important that they also take some time to enjoy the amazing scenery right outside the car windows.

International collaboration yields high-tech public art for New Mexico, Navajo Nation

BY SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Not many people have been to Coyote Canyon, a remote spot on the nation’s largest American Indian reservation.

Bordered by sandstone outcroppings and dotted with pinon and juniper, the location served as a perfect backdrop for an unprecedented venture into high-tech public art by the Navajo Nation and the state of New Mexico.

With the canyon as their blank canvas, Navajo teacher and artist Bert Benally and Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei teamed up for the “Pull of the Moon” installation in late June.

Benally was on the ground in western New Mexico while Ai, who has been banned from leaving China, participated from afar. The goal was to temporarily transform the landscape through sand drawings, sculpture and sound.

While the public couldn’t visit the site, organizers with the Navajo Nation Museum and New Mexico Arts had every bit of the project documented with photographs and video so it could be virtually replicated for the rest of the world to see.

“There’s just so much that went into it that we made the decision to have a more cutting-edge technology format. It will bring it more to the people in a way that will make them feel like they’re right there,” said Eileen Braziel, the project’s co-ordinator.

In a matter of days, nature reclaimed the site, erasing any signs of the artists’ creations.

It was part of New Mexico Arts’ TIME project, or Tempo-

The latest TIME installation marks a new kind of public art for New Mexico, where most art resides on the walls of public buildings, is permanently on display in common areas or integrated into architecture.

Over the last two decades, the state’s public art program has placed more than 2,500 pieces.

“What the state is doing is changing up, in a big way, what art in public places means,” Braziel said.

For the Navajos, it’s about changing outside perceptions of tribal members and forging new roads for Native artists.

“We’re experimenting and seeing where these new roads will lead,” said Navajo Nation Museum Director Manuelito

Wheeler.

The “Pull of the Moon” digital dome will be on display this weekend on Museum Hill, and organizers plan to take

the exhibition on tour.

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino to open at Lake Tahoe IN OLD HORIZON RESORT

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RENO, Nev. — The managers of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas have announced plans to open one at Lake Tahoe this winter after a $60 million renovation of the former Horizon Casino Resort at Stateline.

Officials for the Las Vegas-based Warner Hospitality and the Tahoebased Park family that owns the property say Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe will include more than 500 hotel rooms and a 25,000-square-foot casino.

The resort on the lake’s south shore next to Edgewood Golf Course originally opened as Del Webb’s Sahara Tahoe in 1965.

Brothers Jon and David Park of Neva One LLC acquired the northern Nevada property earlier this year and shut it down for redesign and renovation in April.

They announced at that time they were entering a partnership with Warner Hospitality, but had not previously disclosed their plans.

“We are thrilled to bring a worldclass brand to South Lake Tahoe, one that is sure to bring new energy and excitement to South Lake Tahoe’s entertainment district,” David Park said Thursday.

It marks the first entry into the northern Nevada market for Warner Hospitality, which owns or manages 10 casino properties in southern Nevada, Iowa, New Mexico, California and Washington state.

The company owns the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino scheduled to open later this summer in Sioux City, Iowa, and manages the Hard Rock in Las Vegas, which is owned by Brookfield Asset Management.

The music-themed properties display an extensive collection of guitars, autographed photographs and other rare rock-and-roll memorabilia.

“The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino brand has music infused in its DNA and is known for celebrating individuality and uniqueness, which makes it a perfect fit for South Lake Tahoe,” Jon Park said.

It will be operated by Don Marrandino, a longtime casino executive who has worked for Harrah’s and Caesars Entertainment in Nevada and Atlantic City.

He was president of the Hard Rock in Las Vegas from 2001-2003, and was Harrah’s northern Nevada president and general manager of Harrah’s Lake Tahoe and Harveys at Stateline from 2003-05.

Warner Hospitality CEO Bill Warner announced his hiring as chief of operations on Thursday in conjunction with the roll out of the plans at Tahoe.

“I have so many great memories of my time at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas and in northern Nevada,”

said Marrandino, who stepped down in January 2013 as Caesars Entertainment’s eastern division president overseeing its properties in Atlantic City.

“I’m looking forward to bringing the resort’s legendary atmosphere for entertainment, dining and nightlife to Lake Tahoe and creating another

renowned property experience,” he said.

The hotel-casino is scheduled to open late this year or early next. Jon Park said it will feature slot machines, table games, multiple restaurant and dining options, an upscale bar, lounges and both indoor and outdoor concerts.

Rebels make Cup bid VANCOUVER GIANTS, VICTORIA ROYALS ALSO IN THE MIX TO HOST 2016 EVENT

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR It’s a three-team race for the right to host the 2016 Memorial Cup. The Red Deer Rebels recently threw their hat into the ring and the Vancouver Giants and Victoria Royals submitted bids to the Western Hockey

League head office this week.

The 2016 Memorial Cup will be played in a WHL city and Rebels owner/general manager/head coach Brent Sutter feels it’s high time an Alberta community hosted the major junior hockey championship tournament.

“When 2016 rolls around it will be 42 years since Alberta hosted the Memorial Cup,” said Sutter, in reference

to the 1974 event staged in Calgary.

“It’s hard to believe it’s been that long.

“To me, it’s time. We’ll have a good team. The things you need to be able to have a quality team . . . we’ll have them in place.”

The bids will first be reviewed by the WHL’s hockey operations people.

“They’ll review the teams’ rosters, lists and assets as far as draft picks

are concerned,” said Sutter. “At that point the hockey operations side will rank the teams and will give that to the WHL office.

“From there we’ll be notified by the league office where we stand and I’d like to think we’ll be where we need to be.”

Stamps slip past Ticats

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Stampeders 10, Tiger-Cats 7 CALGARY - Rene Parades kicked the game-winning field goal in the fourth quarter as the Calgary Stampeders hung on to edge the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 10-7 on Friday in Canadian Football League action.

The Ticats had a chance to tie the game, but kicker Justin Medlock was unable to kick a 29-yard field goal due to a botched snap. Quarterback Dan LeFevour, who was the holder on the play, tried to run the ball instead, but was flattened by a big hit from veteran Calgary defender Brandon Smith much to the delight of the 27,546 fans in attendance at McMahon Stadium.

Brad Sinopoli scored his first-career CFL touchdown on a 26-yard run in the second quarter, while Paredes atoned for an earlier miss by kicking a 39-yard field goal, which stood up as the gamewinning points.

A week after throwing four touchdown passes in Calgary’s 34-15 road win over the Toronto Argonauts, quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell failed to find the end zone against Hamilton. Mitchell still completed 19-of-34 passes for 196 yards as the Stamps improved to 3-0 Kicker Justin Medlock kicked a pair of field goal and added a single to account for all of Hamilton’s points.

Jeremiah Masoli made his first career CFL start at quarterback for Hamilton (0-3) and completed just nine-of-19 passes for 107 yards and an interception before being replaced by LeFevour in the third quarter. LeFevour completed eight-of-10 passes for 70 yards in a relief appearance.

Neither team could get anything going in the first quarter as the Stamps accounted for just 44 yards in offence, while the Ticats managed only 22 yards.

Medlock accounted for all the scory-

Mitchell then engineered an 11-play, 85-yard drive in the second quarter that was capped off by a 26-yard touchdown run by Sinopoli on a broken play.

Mitchell handed the ball off to Sinopoli, who sidestepped onrushing Hamilton linebacker Taylor Reed before running the rest of the way into the end zone untouched.

On the next possession, the Ticats put themselves into position to re-

spond right back, but Calgary safety Joshua Bell picked off an errant pass

by Masoli in the Calgary end zone to end the threat.

The Stamps had a chance to extend their lead late in the first half, but a 48-yard field goal attempt by Rene Paredes sailed wide right.

Hamilton had a great chance to take the lead in the third quarter when Brandon Banks returned a Rob Maver punt 38 yards to the Calgary 17-yard line. The Ticats then took and offside penalty before Masoli overthrew a pair of receivers in the end zone, prompt-

ing Medlock to kick a 30-yard field goal to tie the game at 7-7.

On Calgary’s next drive, Mitchell fumbled the ball at midfield for his first turnover of the season. Linebacker Frederic Plesius recovered the ball at the Hamilton 54-yard line, but the Ticats were unable to convert the turnover into points as Medlock missed a 45-yard field goal attempt wide right at the outset of the fourth quarter.

The Stamps took a 10-7 lead at 8:16 of the fourth quarter when Parades connected from 39 yards out to round out the scoring.

McIlroy shoots 66 for lead at British Open matching his second-worst round as a pro in the British Open.

Woods hit driver five times — four more than he hit all week when he won at Royal Liverpool in 2006. None found the fairway. Woods was 14 shots out of the lead and still thought he had a chance, referring to Paul Lawrie making up 10 shots in one round to win at Carnoustie in 1999.

That was against Jean Van de Velde. This is Rory McIlroy, who has won both his majors by eight shots.

“Two 66s from Rory is a bit special, but he is just that — he is a bit special,” Graeme McDowell said. “So he’s going to be tough to catch this weekend if he keeps that up.”

McIlroy was at 12-under 132 — the same 36-hole score of Woods in 2006.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOYLAKE, England — Rory McIlroy only saw birdies at Royal Liverpool, mostly on his scorecard, and even one pheasant that trotted across the eighth green as he was lining up a putt.

That was but a minor interruption in his command performance Friday in the British Open.

Once he made a birdie, and then another, nothing could stop McIlroy.

Not another collapse in the second round. Not anyone in the field. And certainly not Tiger Woods.

After a bogey on his opening hole stirred memories of another “Black Friday,” McIlroy looked more like the Boy Wonder who won two majors in a runaway. With three birdies in his last four holes, he posted a second straight 6-under 66 to build a four-shot lead over Dustin Johnson.

McIlroy spoke of an “inner peace,” and the two secret words that triggered his powerful swing and set up birdie chances on just about every hole.

“People call it the zone, people call it whatever,” he said. “It’s just a state of mind where you think clearly.

Everything seems to be on the right track. I’ve always said, whenever you play this well, you always wonder how you’ve played so badly before. And whenever you’ve played so badly, you always wonder how you play so well.

I’m happy where my game is at the minute. And hopefully, I can just keep up the solid play for another couple of days.”

Woods is fortunate to even play for two more days.

Members of the media film Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland as he plays a shot on the 18th fairway during the second day of the British Open Golf championship at the Royal Liverpool golf club, Hoylake, England, Friday.

He started the second round only three shots behind. He finished it on the 18th hole, standing over a 6-foot

birdie putt just to avoid missing backto-back cuts for the first time in his career. Woods made the putt for a 77,

Dustin Johnson birdied the last two holes for a 65, the low score of the week. That ordinarily would put him in the last group with McIlroy, except they will have company in a historic decision at golf’s oldest championship.

Because of a nasty storm approaching England, the Open will go to threesomes teeing off on both sides Saturday.

Francesco Molinari (70) will join them. He was part of a large group at 6-under 138 that included Rickie Fowler (69), Sergio Garcia (70), Charl Schwartzel (67), Louis Oosthuizen (68) and Ryan Moore (68).

David Hearn (73) of Brantford, Ont., is tied for 24th at 1-under par, while Graham DeLaet (76) of Weyburn, Sask., missed the cut.

Camrose driver pulls away from the pack

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF

PONY CHUCKWAGONS

Lee Adamson proved Friday night his rig was good in more than just the mud.

After taking over the North American Pony Chuckwagon Championships lead in the rain and the muck on Wednesday, he started to separate himself from the pack with improving track conditions on Day 3 of the Westerner Days races.

The Camrose driver in the A-1 Rentals rig laid down the fastest time of the this year’s championship with a one minute, 16.88 second circuit. His aggregate time of 3:57.46, increases his lead to 2.33 seconds

over defending and eight-time champion Keith Wood out of Saddle Lake in the Westock Frame & Wheel Alignment Ltd. wagon. Wood finished the day with a time of 1:18.42 for a total time of 3:59.79.

Sitting third after three runnings is Neil Salmond of Weekes, Sask., whose time of 1:17.92 aboard the Uncle Ben’s RV outfit from Red Deer gave him a total of 4:00.23.

Gary Thiel of Sherwood Park (Red Deer Pumps & Pressure, 1:17.37 Friday, 4:00.66 total) jumped from sixth spot to fourth and Sedgewick’s Curtis Hogg (Red Deer Kellough Enterprises Inc., 1:17.92 Friday,

4:00.85 total) was fifth.

Rounding out the top 10 after three days was Louis Johner of Mayerthorpe (Paradise RV in Red Deer, 1:18.72 Friday, 4:01.19 total), Eckville’s Marvin Hubl (Eldorado Pressure Services in Rocky Mountain House, 1:18.53 Friday, 4:02.16 total), Kevin Desjarlais of Elizabeth Métis Settlement (The Pipe Yard in Blackfalds, 1:17.58 Friday, 4:02.17 total), Wade Salmond of Weekes, Sask. (Nossack Fine Meats of Red Deer, 1:18.24 Friday, 4:02.64 total), and Brian Miller of Drumheller (Westerner Park Board of Directors, 1.20.10 Friday, 4:03.40 total).

Day 4 goes today at 6:30 with the championship run on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

ease with which he moved around Royal Liverpool was more frightening than any forecast.

McIlroy picked up his first birdie with two putts from across the green on the par-5 fifth. But it was on the par-3 sixth, when McIlroy deposited an 8-iron to 7 feet for birdie, that he found that peace and put the pedal down on the rest of the field.

He ushered the pheasant off the eighth green, regrouped and holed a 7-foot birdie putt, chipped to tap-in range on the 10th and then kept giving himself chances on all but one hole until ending with three birdies. McIlroy was in such a groove that with the wind at his back, he hit driver 396 yards on the 17th hole and pitched to 8 feet.

It was only Friday — a fantastic one, not a freaky one — but the kid looked like he was going for a knockout.

“Once I got to 7 (under), I felt like, ’OK, this time I feel good. I can get to 8. I can get to 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.”’

The 17th hole is where Woods fell apart. He started double bogey-bogey and made only pars the rest of the way until his tee shot on the 17th was about 100 yards short and 50 yards wider than McIlroy’s drive.

Hanging his head, Woods was walking down the fairway when he was told it was out of bounds. Back at the tee, he hooked that shot closer to the 16th fairway and made triple bogey.

A birdie enabled him to make the cut, a small consolation considering what McIlroy is doing.

“It’s not a surprise. He’s done this before,” Woods said.

“Once he gets going, he can make a lot of birdies and he plays pretty aggressively to begin with. And when he’s going, he can get it going pretty good.”

As for those two secret words that keep McIlroy locked into what he’s doing?

“I’ll tell you on Sunday, hopefully,” he said.

STORIES FROM PAGE B4

REBELS: Business plan key to bid’s success Sutter said the list of bids will be whittled from three to two.

“The league would like to narrow it down to two teams, and from there it would go to a vote by the governors,” he said. “And who knows? A team might drop out or two teams might drop out before it gets to that point.”

In the event that the Rebels are one of the two teams still standing, the financial aspect of their bid will come into play.

“At that point you have to have a business plan in place, and that’s huge,” said Sutter. “Hockey operations has to be first and foremost, but you have to have a proper business plan in place and it’s got to be something that’s very financially sound.

“That’s where you need your province, county and city on board. That’s just the reality of hosting the Memorial Cup.” Sutter has bid for the tournament on two previous occasions, losing to Regina in 2001 and Saskatoon in 2013. The Rebels, of course, went on to capture the Memorial Cup in Regina.

“The first time we didn’t expect to win the bid.

We thought it would be a long shot,” Sutter admitted.

“And then the last time was a huge disappointment to a lot of different people in our area and our organization. But we’re going to give it one more shot here.” ● Rebels forward Conner Bleackley and defenceman Haydn Fleury recently attended development camps after being selected in the first round of the NHL entry draft in late June by the Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes. Both played in Friday’s Sutter Fund charity golf tournament at River Bend.

Meanwhile, two undrafted Rebels — rearguard Kayle Doetzel, 19, and 18-year-old forward Evan Polei — were invited to and participated in the development camps of the Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Islanders.

“In Evan’s situation, here’s a kid who has come a long way in a short period of time since being in Red Deer,” said Sutter. “He’s going to be counted on to be a key part of our team moving forward. He’s trained like a dog this summer and for him to be invited to a pro camp is pretty darn good when you think of where he was when we traded (with the Saskatoon Blades) for his rights back in November.”

Doetzel was passed over in the NHL draft for a second straight year before getting a free agent look from the Maple Leafs. Last year, he attended the Nashville Predators development camp as a free agent.

“Kayle was disappointed that he wasn’t drafted this year, and yet I really thought that over the last two months of the (2013-14) season he really started coming as far as where our expectations are with him as a player and being a first-round (bantam draft) pick (in 2010),” said Sutter.

“He really started coming into his own and now we expect him to be a real solid, top-four guy for us.

It’s going to be a big year for him.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

GOLF: McIlroy moved around course with ease Johnson had a chance at the claret jug three years ago until a 2-iron that went out-of-bounds on the 14th hole at Royal St. George’s. He also lost a three-shot lead in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, and missed out on a playoff at Whistling Straits for grounding his club in sand at the 2010 PGA Championship.

“I’m glad and I’m in the last group,” Johnson said.

“Just go out there and try to shoot a big number.”

Four shots can be lost quickly in any major, especially in links golf, particularly in nasty weather.

McIlroy followed up a record-tying 63 at St. Andrews in 2010 with an 80 the following day. Even so, the

RED DEER ADVOCATE Saturday, July 19, 2014 B7

Mason headed to Germany Chris Mason enjoyed his first year in Europe so much that he’s heading back in two weeks time.

D i f f e r ent country, though. Mason, his wife Courtney and their two young daughters will be off to Germany after the Red Deer minor hockey product guarded the net of Chris Mason the Ritten Renon Trucks in the Italian Hockey League First Division last winter.

Mason will suit up with the Augsburger Panther of the top German League for the 2014-15 season and is hoping that the experience will rival that of his year in Italy. As he admitted, the experience was everything he anticipated, and more. Really, how could it have gone any better? The Trucks, with the 38-year-old former NHL netminder playing a major role, won the prestigious Italian Cup and then the

league championship.

What Mason wasn’t expecting was precisely how fast the game is played in Italy’s premier league.

“The calibre of play was a lot better than I thought it would be,” he said Friday, after playing in the Sutter Fund Charity Golf Classic at River Bend. “The teams each have eight or nine imports and most have some American League and NHL experience. It was a great year hockey-wise.”

While Mason excelled on the ice — posting a 27-8-0 record with a 2.18 goals-against average and .927 save percentage — he also enjoyed life away from the rink.

“The lifestyle was amazing,” he insisted. “Ritten is a mountain town . . . literally, it’s 30 minutes up a mountain and is probably the most beautiful place I’ve seen in my life. It’s actually three to four small towns, and people live a simple life. It’s a self-sustaining place where the people grow and raise all of their food.

“The town is in Italy but it’s a German-speaking place an hour from the Austrian border. Before World War II it was part of Austria and that part of the world was given to Italy at the end of the war. It’s predominantly a German area. My daughter (eight-yearold Avery) went to a German-speaking school and learned the language. It was awesome.”

Pagenaud fastest in second Honda Indy Toronto practice

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Don’t forget about Simon Pagenaud.

That was the statement made by the French driver after he set the fastest practice time Friday at the Honda Indy Toronto.

Pagenaud clocked one minute 00.0084 seconds at the 11-turn, 2.81-kilometre street course at Exhibition Place.

IndyCar points leader Helio Castroneves was second in 1:00.0218 while Scott Dixon followed in 1:00.0769. Will Power, second overall in the standings, finished fourth while James Hinchcliffe of Oakville, Ont., trailed in fifth.

Pagenaud enters the weekend doubleheader fourth in the standings, 50 points behind Castroneves with two wins and one pole.

His practice times were cause for optimism for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports after Pagenaud finished ninth and 12th in both Toronto races last year.

“I think last year we had a lot of issues with our brakes,” said Pagenaud.

“It was a difficult weekend, we really never, never had a proper run. It was a nightmare. It was inside, in-house that

we needed to do some work.

“We ironed all those details and I think now we have a very different approach, obviously we go to each race with the will to win. Which is very different, we had the will before but we didn’t believe truly that we could do it.

Now we do.”

Pagenaud will get the benefit of the doubt after the afternoon practice was cut short by a pair of red flags that may have prevented better times. Castroneves caused a long delay after stopping on track with an electrical issue, and the session later ended under another flag when Ryan Briscoe stalled on track. Josef Newgarden had the fastest time in the morning practice.

He finished 13th in the afternoon.

Pagenaud’s pace shouldn’t be a surprise even if the 30-year-old is flying under the radar in the IndyCar championship race. He finished third overall last year and has plenty of time to make a move with six races remaining ahead of the season finale at Fontana on Aug. 30.

“In my position, and that’s the way I think things, you could put pressure on yourself if you want to but what’s the point? What’s going to happen is I’m either going to win the championship or I’m not going to win it,” said Pagenaud.

ALBERTA MEN’S AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

Saunders claims top honours for third round MEDICINE HAT — Tyler Saunders of Edmonton Glendale turned in his third consecutive round in the ‘60s Friday while claiming top honours in the Alberta Men’s Amateur Golf Championship.

Saunders fired a 2-under par 70 in the first round and followed with scores of 69-65-67 to finish with a 17-under total of 271, good for a nineshot victory over Jack Wood of Banff Springs, who shot a final-round 72 and finished at 280. Brett Hogan of Calgary (73-68-73-67), A.J. Armstrong of Sturgeon Valley (72-71-69-69) and Evan Holmes of Calgary Earl Grey (68-72-69-72)

And now he’s moving on to what should be another superb European adventure.

“I was approached about playing in Germany during the season. The Augsburger coach and general manager watched a bunch of our games and asked if I was interested in playing for his team,” said Mason. “I told him I’d have to wait until the season was over to decide.

“We came home to Red Deer and talked about it and thought that it would be great to do one more year overseas. We’re going to a city of under 300,000 people. There’s an international school so it will be all Englishspeaking. That was important for our decision, to have that for Avery, our oldest daughter. I also want to play one more year at a top level.”

One year from now, Mason will likely be preparing to go to work with the Nashville Predators, the team he played for during the majority of his nine-year NHL career. He also spent two seasons with the St. Louis Blues and one winter with each of the Atlanta Thrashers and Winnipeg Jets.

Mason, whose other daughter is twoyear-old Quinn, will serve as either an ambassador with the Predators or with the club’s radio play-by-play team, as a colour man.

“That the tentative plan. I have that option to work with the Predators next

year,” he said. “I’ll either be back here or in Nashville. “(Former assistant coach) Brent Peterson does colour for the radio broadcast and if he wants to do it again in a year’s time then he’ll keep the position. If he wants to move on that position might be there for me.”

Mason is no stranger to a microphone.

“Working in broadcasting is definitely something I’d like to try,” he said. “I did a lot of that stuff when I played in Nashville. We would do on the bench things and spend time on the air with both TV and radio. It’s something I felt was worth exploring.”

Regardless of whether he gets the full-time radio gig, the former WHL star with the Prince George Cougars (1994-97) will get some time on the air.

“I’ll be filing in for radio and TV and I’ll also be working charity events . . . . stuff along those lines,” he said.

“I’ve talked to the Predators this summer, but nothing has been decided yet.” ● The Sutter Fund tournament, which has raised millions of dollars for Central Alberta charities since 1996, was another huge success this year.

Among the items raffled off following the post-tournament dinner at the Black Knight Inn was a trip to Israel, which was purchased for $17,000. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Riggers beat down Tigers

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Riggers 10 Tigers 0 Talk about rude hosts.

The Red Deer Riggers erupted for seven first-inning runs en route to a 100 trouncing of the St. Albert Tigers in Friday’s opening game of the Riggers senior men’s baseball tournament at Great Chief Park.

Jordan Weinkauf cracked a threerun triple in the opening frame and Curtis Bailey added insurance with a two-run homer in the second inning.

The game was called after four and a half innings due to the mercy rule.

Winning pitcher Davin Gulbransen allowed just three hits while recording two strikeouts.

“Davin was around the zone all night,” said Bailey, the Riggers playing-manager. “The zone seemed to be pretty tight from the start, so he probably threw a few more pitches than he needed to, but he was effective.

“Same thing with our hitters. They got the job done . . . single, single single . . . we just kind of beat them down.”

Jason Chatwood stroked three singles for the Riggers, who got a pair of one-baggers from each of Reign Letkeman and Kevin Curran. The Riggers touched Tigers pitcher Matt Hammond for 14 hits.

The Riggers swing back into action tonight at 7:30 p.m. against the Calgary Wolfpack and Bailey isn’t worried about any sort of potential letdown through the rest of the tournament.

“We can put anybody out there off the bench and he’ll come in and perform,” he said. “Our guys are not going out there looking at pitches. They’re getting in there to be aggressive and have smart at-bats.”

In earlier games today, the Fort Saskatchewan A’s will meet the Edmonton Cubs at 9:30 a.m. and will take on the Calgary Cardinals at 2:30 p.m., the Tigers and Wolfpack will clash at noon and the Cubs and Cardinals will do battle at 5 p.m.

The fifth-sixth game will be played Sunday at 9:30 a.m., and will be followed by the semifinals at noon and 2:30 p.m. and the championship final at 5 p.m.

Frank Van Dornick of Camrose, well-known at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club (RDG&CC) for winning the Central Alberta Amateur title multiple times, tied for ninth at 287 (72-6972-74).

Michael McAdam of the RDG&CC closed with a 73 and finished with a 293 sum that included earlier rounds of 74-73-73. He tied for 19th, while clubmate Kyle Morrison was close behind, tied for 22nd at 296 (69-78-77-72).

Arencibia punishes Jays

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Texas 5 Toronto 1 TORONTO — Yu Darvish scattered five hits and struck out 12 over 6 2/3 innings and former Blue Jay J.P. Arencibia hit a three-run homer to help the Texas Rangers end their eight-game losing streak with a 5-1 win over Toronto on Friday night.

It marked the sixth time this season that Darvish, who tied his season high for Ks, has recorded double-digit strikeouts.

It was a matchup of two teams in a nosedive, played before 38,012 on a pleasant 22-degree night with the roof open at Rogers Centre.

The Rangers (39-57), mired in the longest current losing streak in the majors, had lost 14 of their last 15 games and 22 of 25. Toronto (49-48) had dropped eight of its last 10, 11 of 15 and 17 of 25.

But Darvish (9-5) proved to be the tonic needed for Texas, which is now 12-6 this season when the elegant righthander from Japan starts. Through six innings, every Blue Jays starter had struck out at least once and Texas finished with 17 strikeouts on the night.

Despite a slump of its own, Toronto came into the game second in the AL East, four games back of Baltimore, while Texas was last in the AL West, 21 games behind the leading Athletics.

“We need to play good. We haven’t played good in a while — for a few weeks,” Jays manager John Gibbons said before the game. “Texas is going through the same thing we are.”

That includes a spate of injuries with a league-leading 15 players on the disabled list. The Rangers lead the majors in players (50) and pitchers (30) used in 2014, and, with 15 rookies, is tied with Arizona for another MLB first.

Toronto, which has now lost three straight games, had won eight of its last 10 against Texas since the start of 2013.

The Jays offence continued to sputter, with one run on seven hits.

Seniors housing approved

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF

SUNDRE

A highly-anticipated $26.6-million seniors supportive living and housing facility in Sundre is expected to welcome residents by the summer of 2016.

The board of directors for Mountain View Seniors’ Housing gave the green light for the project on Thursday.

The 103-unit complex will include 40 supportive living spaces, 45 lodges and 18 independent life-lease spaces.

MVSH board of directors chairman Bruce Beattie said this project started with a group of Sundre seniors who asked them to consider a new lodge in Sundre.

“It started at the community level,” said Beattie. “It has certainly taken time. They have been very patient and very supportive.

We’re hoping the lodge that we put up will meet their needs and expectations.”

Before any shovels hit the dirt, the group

will seek permission from the province to borrow up to $22 million for the project and sign a service agreement with Alberta Health Services. Beattie said he does not expect any problems because the province has been very supportive of the project.

Last October, the non-profit housing group received a $3.8 million Affordable Supportive Living Initiative capital grant from the province. The funding was hard fought following the disappointment of missing the cut in provincial funding in 2012.

Sam Smalldon, MVSH chief administrative officer, said once those steps are completed by Aug. 11, they hope to sign a construction contract and begin building by the end of August.

The new complex will replace the existing provincially-owned Foothills Lodge.

PROVIDING COMFORT

BRIEF Sylvan figure skating club donates to rink fund Sylvan Lake’s figure skating club has made a large donation to the town’s new multiplex, hoping to help themselves get a great new facility.

The skating club donated $50,000 to the NexSource Centre, the new multiplex being built in Sylvan Lake.

The lakeside community was devastated earlier this year when the roof of the Sylvan Lake Arena collapsed.

“This donation is important, as it helps emphasize the need for improved ice access in Sylvan Lake,” said Amy Komarniski, chair of the Sylvan Lake Multiplex Fundraising Committee. “The facility is not just for hockey and will benefit all sorts of community groups, like the skating club.”

As of Friday, 62 per cent of the project’s fundraising goal has been met.

Sylvan Lake water restrictions remain in effect

GIVE US A CALL

The building will be re-purposed.

The residents in the 43-suite lodge will move into their new home in groups of four to allow them to adjust to the new complex.

“They will have to get used to their new environment,” said Smalldon. “Change is a challenge and we want them to feel at home and know that they have good supports while they move in. After about a month or two, things will settle for them.”

The facility is expected to open at near capacity.

Sundre Mayor Terry Leslie said in a news release that the community came together with the resolve to keep seniors and families together in Sundre. He said the approval means the town is one step closer to achieving that goal.

MVSH is a non-profit organization that operates seniors lodges, seniors self-contained apartments and subsidized family housing in Carstairs, Sundre, Olds and Didsbury. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Outdoor water restrictions are still in place in Sylvan Lake.

Despite Thursday’s rainfall, the town is reminding residents that the ban is still in place.

It has expanded the exemptions to include hand-held watering. Residents may use an ordinary sprinkling can or pail or hand-held hose for watering plants or shrubs. Residents with newly planted lawns are asked to hand water after 7 p.m.

Residents are prohibited from all other forms of outdoor water usage, including water lawns, washing cars and filling outdoor pools, until further notice.

Recent consumption has been outpacing the town’s water reservoirs, which puts the well at risk for running dry.

Fire permits suspended in Rocky region A burning advisory is now in effect in the Rocky Mountain House Wildfire Management Area due to the dry conditions, high temperatures and little

rain. All fire permits have been suspended and no new permits are being issued with exception of burn barrels.

Safe campfires are allowed but may be restricted in the future if conditions worsen. For more information on the advisory, visit Albertafirebans.ca or call 1-866-FYI-FIRE (394-3473).

The Rocky Mountain Wildfire Management Area had three new wildfires overnight on Thursday. These were all started by lightning, under one hectare and all were extinguished.

The Spreading Creek wildfire west of Nordegg is now a total of 22,000 acres hectares, with about 16,400 acres within the Rocky Mountain Wildfire Management Area and 5,600 acres in Banff National Park. The wildfire is classified as being held.

Forest area closure remains in effect in the area of the Spreading Creek wildfire.

This is a proactive step taken to ensure the public’s safety. The closure applies to the area including the mountains south of Hwy 11, north to Cline River and extending from the Banff National Park border east to Whiterabbit Creek.

Due to wildfire in the area, Alberta Transportation has had some highway closures. For up to date highway closure information, check the Alberta 511 website or dial 511.

Lacombe shopping habits subject of survey The City of Lacombe has launched an online survey to gauge local shopping habits.

The survey results will be incorporated into the city’s Municipal Development Plan update. Feedback from residents and visitors on their shopping experiences in Lacombe will help guide future development in the city.

The survey will run until Aug. 15, and is available at www.lacombe/retailsurvey.

Paper copies are available at City Hall, and Lacombe County residents can pick up a copy at the Lacombe County Administration Office.

More information about Lacombe’s Municipal Development Plan is available of the city’s website www.lacombe.ca.

Hungry for peace in the Middle East

BY STEVE NORMAN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES This article is a follow-up to the author’s earlier piece, Why I Don’t Pray for Peace in the Middle East.

On Tuesday I had the opportunity to fast and pray as part of the #hungryforpeace initiative that brought together people of multiple faiths from at least three continents to pray for resolution to the crisis in Israel/Palestine.

Throughout out the day, I followed what others were saying about their experience on social media.

At the end of her fast, one British rabbi said, “Definitely thirsting for peace at this point in the day. It began with talk of ceasefire and ends with escalation.”

Her comment prompted me to reflect on my own state of mind. To be sure, the situation in Israel wasn’t any better at day’s end than it was at the beginning.

In fact, at the time of this writing, more 1,200 hundred rockets have been fired from Gaza, killing one Israeli, and the Israeli military has struck 1,600 targets and more than 200 Palestinians have lost their lives.

Despite a brief pause in the violence to allow humanitarian aid to get into Gaza, the fighting has resumed. It’s certainly cause for alarm and concern.

If you pray, and God doesn’t answer that prayer on your timeline, is it all for naught? I don’t believe it is. I once heard a pastor say, “A fast is not a hunger strike.”

Indeed, our fasting is it not laying a list of demands before God, but rather an attempt to create space for God to make us hungry to see the Father’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

There’s a difference between a fast with heart tilted toward heaven and one that simply skips a meal or more.

Here are three lessons I learned over the course of my day:

t

Fasting for those in crisis is a chance to reclaim the lost practice of lament, or mourning. In his article A Time to Mourn, Soong-Chan Rah contends: The typical American church fails to engage lament.

Several different studies have shown that our liturgies, our hymnals, and our worship songs lack lament while disproportionately over-emphasizing triumphalist songs of praise. . . . Even when lament is found, it is often a quick stop on our trajectory towards victorious praise psalms.

We move quickly away from lament to praise because we want a nice, neatly wrapped narrative that meets our worldview. When there is a death, you cannot ignore reality.

When a death occurs, we cannot bury our head in the sand and operate out of denial.

Rah is correct, of course. While I’ve called the church I serve to pray for issues like the conflict in Israel/Palestine, I’ve never led us in time of lament.

But I’m convinced Jesus himself mourns with those torn by the tragedy in Israel today . He weeps with the families of the “four Palestinian children killed in an Israeli bombing on Wednesday afternoon on a Gaza beach.”

He weeps with the family of Dror Khenin, an Israeli civilian who died from wounds sustained in a mortar attack near the Gaza border as they prepared for his burial at the Yehud cemetery. And in our fasting and prayers, Christ calls us to lament the loss of each life precious to him.

If my first lesson is understanding the call to lament, the second is hearing the invitation to repent.

Historically, fasting has often been linked to a public act of repentance. I personally felt compelled to repent of my lack of compassion and response to the current state of affairs. Why did I wait until people died to get earnest about God’s intervention in the conflict?

Per my last reflection, I’ve been sloppy about my commitment to intercede for my friends and acquaintances in Bethlehem, Modi’in, and Jerusalem — and the people they care about in Gaza, Ashdod,

Tel Aviv, and Rafah. I haven’t always reached out to serve them in ways I could and should.

In Galatians 6:2, Paul writes “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” God is gently reminding me that knowledge of another’s pain is the not same as walking with them in it. I’m asking for wisdom in understanding how to move from pity to encouragement.

Finally, in the wake of a fast, there is an opportunity to reorient, to adjust my perspective. The prophet Isaiah says the goal of fasting isn’t to be hungry, but to pour out our lives on behalf of the hungry.

Isaiah 58:10-12 says: “. . . if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.”

If you care about the well-being of those in the Middle East, if you long for the end of hostilities rooted in racism, extremism, and ultra-nationalism, then you and I desperately need the Lord to guide us.

One of the best ways this happens for me is by learning from others who are further along on their journey toward peacemaking.

Hamlet on the prowl BARD ON BOWER OFFERS UP AN AGGRESSIVE, FAST-BASED CLASSIC IN A STEAMPUNK SETTING The very heavens opened up and doused Bard on Bower’s opening night of Hamlet with a steady drizzle.

All the gloomy rain might have been a downer for the scant diehards who took in this entertaining outdoor production under tent cover at Bower Ponds on Thursday night, except it actually added to the LANA play’s chilling MICHELIN atmosphere.

After all, William Shakespeare’s great tragedy about murder and ruminations about mortality, vengeance and conscience, hardly deals with sunny subject matter.

Prime Stock Theatre director Thomas Usher further deepened the play’s mood by relocating the action to the shadowy Victorian dockyards, where Hamlet is not the prince of Denmark, but the heir of a wealthy shipping family.

Black poofy skirts and tall stovepipe hats paired with some anachronistic accoutrements lent a steampunk air to this two-and-a-half-hour show.

An invisible ghost with disembodied voice, a thrilling and very authentic-seeming sword fight, and a morebrash-than-meditative Hamlet were other highlights.

Local actor Albertus Koett tackled the role of the grief-stricken heir with head-on aplomb. Rather than playing the hesitant anti-hero, Koett’s Hamlet springs to action — unfortunately, often venting his rage against the wrong people.

Instead of dealing with his father’s murderer, Claudius, he berates and shoves around poor, innocent Ophelia and later gets into a brawl at her funeral with her grieving brother, Laertes.

He also slaps his somewhat less innocent mother Gertrude for getting remarried to his scheming and ambitious uncle in unseemly haste.

Koett’s Hamlet is so intense, yet somehow collected, that he can seem too rational to be walking the edge of madness.

But he delivers Hamlet’s speeches with exactly the right sort of cadence to make them easy for an audience to follow. If one might have liked to see more nuance, it was made up for by excellent pacing and no dull pauses.

His “To be or not to be” flies along at a good clip, as does “What a piece of work is a man” and “Alas, poor Yorrick ...” — and these brilliant passages are reason enough to see this play.

Of course, the excellent performances give you more reasons.

REVIEW

Photo by ASHLI BARRETT/Advocate staff

Hamlet (Albertus Koett) confronts his mother, Gertrude (Tara Rorke) during the Bard on Bower’s production of Hamlet at Bower Ponds. The production, which runs until Aug. 2, offers excellent performances and pared-down script.

Other stand-outs are Tara Rorke, as a Gertrude who seems truly alarmed and bewildered by her son’s strange behaviour, and Sarah Gibson, as the pained and emotionally fragile Ophelia. As the former object of Hamlet’s affections, Ophelia seems to suffer merely for being a woman as his anger against his mother transforms into a general misogyny.

Her meddling father Polonius is sometimes portrayed as a clownish bore, but is played pretty straight here

by Derek Olinek. Her hot-headed bother Laertes is depicted by JP Lord as the kind of emotional guy who would

literally leap into his dead sister’s coffin.

Ryan Matilla portrays the levelheaded Horatio, while Tom Bradshaw plays Claudius as more mundane, and therefore more sinister, than a textbook villain.

And Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are depicted by Anna Pinder and Victoria Wells-Smith as female friends of Hamlet’s and his unwitting victims.

Usher is to be commended for assembling such a wonderful cast, for well pacing this production, and for paring the lengthy script down to its essentials. The plot moves along so

quickly you should make it out of the park before darkness fully descends.

Even on a sunny evening, seeing Hamlet will be a treat — especially if you studied the play in high school (it’s amazing how vividly the speeches come back to you).

Bring bug spray, a lawn chair and blankets, sit back and enjoy.

Hamlet is on the outdoor stage from 7 p.m. on July 19, 23, 27 and 31, and at 2 p.m. on July 26 and Aug. 2. A Midsummer Night’s Dream starts on July 24 at 7 p.m. Admission to both is free, but donations are very welcome. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

If you’re seeking titillation, you won’t find it here among the comic flailings and body slamming that resembles a sloshing tub of squid more than erotica. But it is good-looking squid, thanks to Diaz’s perky posterior and the newly trim Segel.

Frustratingly, director Jake Kasdan (Bad Teacher), along with screenwriters Kate Angelo, Segel and Nicholas Stoller (who teamed with Segel to pen The Muppets) seem unsure what kind of movie they want to make.

The confusion shows up onscreen in a sitcom-style effort that has a few funny lines (there’s a good Siri zinger) and even less sex or examination of the humiliating repercussions of a homemade porno spilling into the world.

That spillage happens to Annie

and Jay thanks to a syncing app he’s installed for music and a wrinkle in the Cloud that downloads their romp onto all of his used iPads that he has generously gifted to everyone from her parents to the mailman.

It’s a plot device that’s been pretty much debunked but points for trying to update the old stealth emails trope.

Friends Tess (Bridesmaids’ Ellie Kemper) and Robby (Rob Corddry of Hot Tub Time Machine) offer to help gather the iPads, including one that has landed in the hands of Hank, the toy company exec Annie hopes to work for. He’s played by Rob Lowe, who knows a thing or two about sex tapes.

The mission through Hank’s mansion is pure slapstick as Annie discovers the freaky side of her possible boss while Jay hunts for the device and deals with a determined German shepherd while getting to make an epilepsy joke.

A final assemblage involving Jack

Black, pit bulls and a roomful of computer servers doesn’t fit in at all. Ditto a dumb final encounter with a larcenous preteen.

And as for the mailman, who is teased over and over, it’s a joke with no payoff, forgotten in the mayhem.

It’s been done before — and perhaps slightly better by Kevin Smith as Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Smith at least wasn’t afraid to let his freak flag fly in taking on a sexy subject, even if it was often painful to watch.

It’s disheartening to see such lacklustre work from actors who are capable of much better. Diaz is a fine comic actress (There’s Something about Mary) and Segel has a lovely, loopy everyman way about him (I Love You, Man, The Muppets). It’s all wasted here.

As for Sex Tape, not tonight, dear. Or any other.

LOCAL

BRIEFS Violinist who fuses several genres in city on Thursday Jaron Freeman-Fox redefines what the violin can do with a fiddling fusion of bluegrass, Celtic, jazz and Indian music.

Toronto-based Freeman-Fox, winner of two 2014 Canadian Folk Music Awards, will perform at a house concert in Red Deer on Thursday, July 24.

The “violinovator” has been described as “Tom Waits playing the fiddle, backed up by the Mahavishnu Orchestra.”

Freeman-Fox’s music was recorded on an acclaimed album called Jaron Freeman-Fox & The Opposite of Everything, a merger of Indian ragas, klezmer punk, ethereal folk and Latin-fused funk.

Doors for the local concert open at 6 p.m. and the show is at 7:30. Tickets are $30 and include a full Tex-Mex supper (bring your own bottle).

For more information, call Terry at 403-302-0782 or email irishmouse@email.com.

Matt Blais to rock Red Deer Calgary’s passionate blues-rocker Matt Blais will perform next week in Red Deer.

Blais, who’s known for blending fiery elements of rock ‘n’ roll with a smooth vintage blues sound, will play on Saturday, July 26, at Wild Bill’s Sports Bar in the Quality Inn, North Hill.

The musician who’s been compared to Sam Roberts, Matt Mays and Joel Plaskett, is touring Alberta and B.C. this summer in support of his latest album, The Heartbeat.

Cover charge for the 9 p.m. show is $10. For more information, call 403-343-8800.

Underside Pattern coming to the patio Upbeat pop group Underside Pattern performs this week on Red Deer’s Ross Street Patio.

The fun and youthful indie band from Red Deer will entertain lunch-hour crowds from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, July 22 and 24.

Underside Pattern is made up of five members: vocalist Shaeane Jimenez, Corey Gomez on bass, Craig Gomez on guitar and keyboards, Johah Falk on guitar and Steven Wheeler on drums.

The band writes its own material, such as the sunny and melodic tune Brian Teaches Jonah, and also performs cover songs from favourite artists.

Underside Pattern has played around Central Alberta at various fundraisers, Earth Dance at The Hub, the Festival of Trees, the Westerner Days Parade, and Centrefest, among other events.

Another local group, the hip-hop duo Donatello, will entertain during the same noon-hour slot on the Patio on July 29 and 31.

New album for Lady Antebellum

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE — The title for Lady Antebellum’s forthcoming new album, 747, refers to a hook in the title song about how a commercial jetliner can’t go fast enough for a man trying to reclaim his love. It’s also a fitting analogy for the country trio’s own super-sonic momentum over the last year.

Their last album was released just 14 months ago, a couple months before singer Hillary Scott gave birth to her daughter, Eisele. A deluxe version of the album came out November, and then they started writing new music while out on tour.

Now, it just gets more complex as 747 is due out Sept. 30 — about the same time singer-guitarist Dave Haywood is expecting his first child.

“We are just so excited for the opportunity to just continue to build our career,” Scott said as she was heading into the studio to put the finishing touches on the record with Haywood and singer Charles Kelley. “And then also in our personal lives ... our families are growing. That’s the energy level we are in.”

In this June 19, 2009, file photo, Johnny Winter plays during the Canton Blues Festival in Canton, Ohio.

The Texas blues icon, who rose to fame in the late 1960s and ’70s with his energetic performances and recordings, died in Zurich, Switzerland, on Wednesday. He was 70.

Blues legend dead at 70

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GENEVA — Texas blues legend Johnny Winter emblazoned himself into the world’s consciousness with his tattooed arms churning out lightning-fast guitar riffs and his striking long white hair flowing from under his cowboy hat.

His contrasting appearance and devotion to the blues pioneers of the 20th century turbo-charged a career in which he emulated and, ultimately, championed, his childhood hero Muddy Waters and other icons. Winters carved out a wide niche — and became an icon himself — starting in the late 1960s and 1970s with a sound that blues and country singer Tracy Nelson, prominent during the same era with her band Mother Earth, described as “Texas second generation.”

“He did not overplay, like a lot of white blues guitarists,” she said of Winter, who collaborated with the likes of Waters, John Lee Hooker and Jimi Hendrix. “His tone was a little more modern, more electric, but I could see the influences. He stayed faithful.

People idolized him.”

Winter’s representative, Carla Parisi, confirmed on Thursday that he died in a hotel room just outside Zurich a day earlier at age 70.

The statement said his wife, family and bandmates were all saddened by the loss of one of the world’s finest guitarists.

The cause of death was unclear and authorities have ordered an autopsy, said Zurich police spokeswoman Cornelia Schuoler. She said investigators are mainly looking at “medical causes” and there is no indication that anyone else was involved.

Winter was a leading light among the white blues guitar players, including Eric Clapton and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, who followed in the footsteps of the earlier Chicago blues

masters. He idolized Waters — and got a chance to produce some of the blues legend’s more popular albums. Rolling Stone magazine named Winter one of the top 100 guitarists of all time.

Music writer Fred Schruers said Winter played a major role in introducing the blues to a new audience. “The real legacy of Johnny Winter is that he brought the blues to an audience in tiedye that might otherwise have neglected the entire genre — and his timely work producing Muddy Waters only deepened that contribution,” said Schruers, author of an upcoming biography of Billy Joel.

Winter had been on an extensive tour this year to celebrate his 70th birthday. His last performance was on Saturday, July 12, in Wiesen, Austria.

He had recently announced that he would follow up his 2011 album Roots with a new studio album, Step Back, in September featuring collaborators such as Eric Clapton, Ben Harper, Joe Perry, Dr. John and Joe Bonnamassa.

John Dawson Winter III was born on Feb. 23, 1944, and raised in Beaumont, Texas. He was the older brother of Edgar Winter, who like him was an albino, and rose to musical fame with the Ed-

gar Winter Group.

“Made my first record when I was 15, started playing clubs when I was 15. Started drinking and smoking when I was 15. Sex when I was 15. Fifteen was a big year for me,” Winter recalled with a laugh in a documentary released this year, Johnny Winter: Down & Dirty.

“I love playing guitar. It’s the only thing I’ve ever really been great at,” he said.

His career received a big boost early on when Rolling Stone singled him out as one of the best blues guitarists on the Texas scene. This helped secure a substantial recording contract from Columbia Records in 1969 that led to an appearance at the Woodstock Festival and gave him a wide following among college students and young blues fans.

He was one of the most popular live acts of the early 1970s, when his signature fast blues guitar solos attracted a wide following.

Crowds were dazzled by the speed — and volume — of his guitar playing, which had its roots in urban blues but incorporated elements of rock ’n’ roll. But his addiction problems with heroin during that decade and later battles with alcohol and prescription medication also drew attention.

Harp told Lexington station WKYT-TV it’s all a misunderstanding and that “about 10 people” used his phone.

Frustrated with overweight daughter Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 30 years.

We have four wonderful children, all college graduates with great jobs in their chosen careers.

They are also involved in long-term relationships with people we like and respect.

So what’s the problem? One of my daughters is at least 40 pounds overweight and doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it.

No one else in our family has a weight problem.

We have always led an active lifestyle and encouraged MITCHELL healthy eating habits. We first & SUGAR noticed our daughter’s weight gain when we visited her at college.

Her roommates were overweight, and she said they all ate when they were stressed.

She seems to have continued with those bad habits.

Whenever I try to discuss this with her, she shuts me down and says she doesn’t want to talk about it.

Her boyfriend is also overweight, so I’m sure that doesn’t help.

I worry that if she doesn’t get a handle on this while she’s young, it will become more difficult as she gets older. Do you have any suggestions that will

help me encourage her to lose weight? — Frustrated Mom Dear Mom: Your daughter knows she is overweight and probably doesn’t like it any more than you do.

But losing weight is difficult, and she must be motivated.

Since her college friends and her boyfriend also have weight issues, she may have come to see her size as acceptable, and her eating habits also reflect the way she has been living for the past few years.

We know how hard it is for you to see your daughter struggle with something that will have an impact on her health, but she is an adult, and this is a do-ityourself project.

Just tell her you love her and want her to be healthy, and hope that she will do the rest on her own.

Dear Annie: Thank you for reprinting the list of symptoms of colon cancer. Could you add this one: extreme fatigue?

My husband noticed none of the symptoms listed.

But when he became so tired after getting dressed in the morning that he had to lie down and rest, I finally got him to see a doctor.

The fatigue was caused by internal bleeding from a tumor in his colon. He needed a blood transfusion and surgery.

With chemo, he survived his stage-three colon cancer and has been cancer-free for seven years.

I won’t comment on men who refuse to see a doctor regularly, but I’m sure you get the picture — Vermont Dear Vermont: Thank you for the additional in-

formation. The problem with many symptoms is that they are vague.

Things like fatigue can fall into many categories, some serious, some not, and both doctors and patients tend to dismiss them until they are advanced enough to be of concern.

This is why it is so important for each of us to be an advocate for our own health.

Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “Disgusted in N.Y.,” who said that her 85-year-old aunt never received a bath by the staff while in the hospital for six weeks.

I also ran into this problem with my 95-year-old father.

When he was hospitalized, he went more than three months without a bath.

However, it was not the fault of the nurses or anyone else. My father absolutely refused to be bathed.

When I approached the staff about this, they said it was his right to refuse. He is extremely private and would not allow anyone to give him any care that he felt impinged on his dignity.

A patient of sound mind has the right to refuse treatment.

I’m not saying neglect doesn’t happen in some facilities.

But before you judge, find out the whole story and carefully question the patient alone and in front of the health professional. — A Daughter in Florida Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Loonie stronger than expected in July

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The recent strength of the Canadian dollar has been a surprise, given that many economists expected it to stay weak throughout much of the year.

But a combination of several factors has the dollar at least three cents higher than most forecasts for the year, with the loonie almost touching 94 cents US earlier this month and ending the week at 93.14.

“I think it is fair to say that (the dollar is) stronger than many had thought,” Mark Chandler, head of foreign exchange strategy at RBC Dominion Securities Inc., said Friday.

Among the factors driving the loonie higher: a revised view of Canadian inflation trends, a weaker American

economy and currency and a strong demand and prices for Canadian resources, particularly oil.

Chandler considers a weak U.S. currency as the leading factor for the loonie’s relative strength but said it’s also getting a boost from recent Bank of Canada comments that suggest there’s now virtually no chance that shortterm interest rates will fall.

“If you have your central bank, the Bank of Canada, saying ’We’re really worried about low inflation and we’re going to have to cut rates’ — that would tend to weaken the currency,” Chandler said Friday.

“And if they step away from that, you take away that source of currency weakness.”

BMO Capital Markets economist Sal Guatieri said that Canada has actually had one of the strongest currencies

since the spring, fuelled by foreign demand for Canada’s relatively high short-term interest rates compared with those available in the United States, Europe and Japan.

“A lot of global capital is seeking higher rates of return, so we’re seeing some of that money parked in the Canadian money market,” Guatieri said But Guatieri said BMO is still expecting the Canadian dollar’s value will drop closer to 87 cents US by next year, a stance that many other economists took at the end of last year in their 2014 forecasts.

“There are many other factors that suggest that the Canadian dollar should not be at 93 cents right now. In particular, the ongoing trade deficit,” Guatieri said.

“Outside of energy, the trade balance is still shrinking, still declining.

For example, our trade balance in automobiles is plunging off a cliff and that is a function, partly, of an overvalued Canadian dollar.”

Based on research that BMO did into retail-level pricing, he said, a Canadian dollar needs to be worth less than 90 cents US to offset some of the other factors that make goods more expensive here than in the United States.

“It’s only when the Canadian dollar is closer to the mid-80s that the price differential is equalized in the two countries,” Guatieri said.

He said it’s a different picture in energy commodities, particularly because of “elevated oil prices and strong U.S. demand for our oil (and) the fact that we’ve had much better success getting our oil down to the U.S. Gulf Coast refineries in the past six months.”

Food, gasoline prices push inflation to 2.4%

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Inflation in Canada continues to defy the experts’ expectations, exhibiting stubborn staying power in the face of a weak economy and even softer employment conditions.

For the second month in a row, the annual rate hit a new two-year highwater mark as it rose one-tenth of a point to 2.4 per cent in June, and core underlying inflation edged ever closer to the Bank of Canada’s two per cent target at 1.8.

Perhaps more surprising is that the story is no longer all about gasoline.

Although energy remains a key driver, food prices have also shot up, shelter costs remain frothy, as do many other goods Canadians regularly buy.

“The breadth is impressive, with more than 50 per cent of all categories now rising at a pace above two per cent (the central bank target),” noted Doug Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets.

“The persistently strong and widespread readings raise at least some doubts on just how ’transitory’ this first-half burst in inflation is, and already puts the Bank of Canada’s fresh inflation forecast at risk.”

Analysts had expected inflation to plateau at 2.3 per cent and perhaps start showing signs of ebbing in the upcoming months as gas prices begin heading south and the impact of the lower loonie filtered through the econ-

omy.

Earlier in the week, Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz acknowledged that inflation had been frothier than he had anticipated, but stuck to the script that price pressures would soon start to moderate.

He cited the considerable slack in the economy, low wage gains, and strong competition in the retail sector as factors that would work against prices pressures.

The bank sees inflation dipping below two per cent in the next year or so before returning to target in 2016.

Still, the steady march in prices since October, when annual inflation stood at 0.7 per cent, has been more persistent and stronger than the central bank and most economists had envisioned.

Market reacted by lifting the loonie 0.29 of a cent to 93.24 cents US. The market reaction is based on the assumption that inflation may force Poloz’s hand sooner on hiking interest rates, which is a positive for the currency.

Another positive in Friday’s data was that wholesale sales jumped by an unexpectedly high 2.2 per cent in May to a record $52.6 billion.

David Madani of Capital Economics, however, said the surprise in the data is unlikely to worry the Bank of Canada, agreeing with its overall view.

“This largely reflects exchange rate pass-through effects, rather than any improvement in domestic economic

Most analysts don’t see the central bank moving to tighten borrowing conditions until late next year or even early 2016. In a recent analysis, TD Bank chief economist Craig Alexander said when rates do start rising, they will do so in tiny, incremental steps.

June’s gains showed more broadbased pressure on prices. Energy, particularly gasoline and natural gas, continued to be main drivers with yearover-year gains of 5.4 per cent and 19.4 per cent over last June. Both, however,

were higher in May and so represented a moderating, if still significant, influence on inflation.

Overall, the energy index rose 6.7 per cent last month, compared to 8.4 per cent in May. Meanwhile, food prices are becoming an increasingly important factor, increasing 2.9 per cent in June from 2.3 per cent in May. Food purchased in stores rose even more to 3.2 per cent as consumers paid 9.4 per cent more for meat and 9.5 per cent for fresh vegetables than they did last year at this time.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed higher Friday as traders shook off the geopolitical worries that had roiled markets the previous session and refocused on corporate earnings reports.

The S&P/TSX composite index recovered from early losses to advance 62.09 points to 15,266.57. Concern over possible fallout from the shooting down of a Malaysian Airlines jetliner over Ukraine had cast a shadow over markets on Thursday Ukraine accused proRussian separatists of bringing down the airliner with 298 people aboard with a surface-to-air missile, sharply escalating the crisis in the region.

Markets were also focused on the Middle East as Israel launched a ground offensive in Gaza aimed at destroying militants’ tunnels and rocket launcher sites.

The Canadian dollar was resilient, up 0.19 of a cent at 93.14 cents US as the latest data showed rising inflation. The consumer price index rose 0.1 per cent in June versus expectations for a slight decline. That translated into an annualized gain of 2.4 per cent against the 2.3 per cent advance that economists had forecast.

U.S. indexes were higher after racking up sharp losses on Thursday as the Dow Jones industrials moved ahead 123.37 points to 17,100.18, the Nasdaq rose 68.7 points to 4,432.15 and

the S&P 500 index gained 20.1 points to 1,978.22.

The industrials sector was the leading TSX gainer, up 1.7 per cent as Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP) climbed $6.76 or 3.34 per cent to $209.09 on top of Thursday’s 2.25 per cent gain that followed the release of a strong quarterly earnings report. Canadian National Railways (TSX:CNR) advanced $1.31 to $73.08 ahead of earnings coming out on Monday.

The energy sector gained 1.05 per cent with August crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange down six cents at US$103.13 after two days of strong gains that followed the release of data showing a sharp drawdown of crude inventories in the U.S. last week.

Report says Kitimat airshed can accommodate oil, gas, smelter industries

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Kitimat’s air, water, land and residents can handle prospective oil, gas and aluminum industry expansions in the area, says a British Columbia Environment Ministry report released Friday.

Environment Minister Mary Polak said the government-funded, independent report concludes that with the proper management, Kitimat’s airshed can safely accommodate industrial growth.

Polak said as long as companies use worldleading emission standards, sulphur and nitrogen oxide levels will be significantly reduced and industrial expansion can be managed.

The airshed assessment looked at Rio Tinto Alcan’s existing smelter and its upgrade project, a proposed oil refinery, four proposed liquefiednatural-gas facilities, the BC Hydro gas turbine facility, and the predicted increase in marine shipping. “The study tells us that with proper management there is significant capacity in the Kitimat airshed to safely accommodate industrial growth, while still protecting human health and the environment,� said Polak at a news conference. “This report is helping shape management strategies to protect air quality, human health and our overall environment.�

Scientists and environmentalists have expressed concerns about emissions from the proposed LNG plants in Kitimat, which is located in a tunnel-like valley, near Douglas Channel, and off the north coast.

Last fall, SkeenaWild Conservation Trust, an environmental organization concerned about wild salmon, released a report that estimated three proposed Kitimat LNG plants will burn 2.5 times more natural gas than is consumed in Metro Vancouver annually.

The Liberal government provided $650,000 last October to study industrial development in the area and the potential impacts of air pollution.

That prompted Prof.

Douw Steyn of the University of B.C.’s earth, oceans and atmospheric sciences department, to state that business, government and the community must have a better idea of the area’s environmental capabilities before massive development occurs.

Clean Energy Canada spokeswoman Merran Smith said burning natural gas to make LNG elevates levels of air pollutants that create acid rain and worsens asthma and respiratory illnesses.

Smith said Kitimat’s pollution problems would be greatly reduced if the government required the proposed LNG plants to use electric power instead of natural gas.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The president of Kinder Morgan Canada says he wants to thaw relations between his firm and the City of Burnaby over the proposed routes for the Trans Mountain pipeline. Ian Anderson admits the relationship is “toxic� but says he hopes the company won’t have to go the National Energy Board to force the city to give access to investigate a tunnel route through Burnaby Mountain.

The National Energy Board announced earlier this week that there would be a seven-month delay in the review of the proposed pipeline expansion because of the City of Burnaby’s refusal to co-operate with the company. The NEB wants more information about the route through Burnaby Mountain, but the city is cemented in its opposition and hasn’t allowed engineers and other specialists hired by Trans Mountain onto city property.

If Burnaby refuses to co-operate, Trans Mountain could apply to the NEB for an order granting access to the property on Burnaby Mountain, which is home to Simon Fraser University Anderson says the communication between the city and Kinder Morgan has been “non-existent.� “We are going to the city formally, really out of respect for the fact that it is city land. And, so we will approach them, but we will see how those decisions get made.�

Anderson says tunnelling through the mountain will help avoid construction through Burnaby neighbourhoods.

The NEB delayed the deadline for the final report to cabinet by almost seven months to Jan. 25, 2016.

Oral hearings that were expected to start next January will now start in July 2015. The $5.4-billion pipeline expansion would almost triple the current pipeline’s capacity, moving about 900,000 barrels a day between Alberta’s oil sands and the B.C. coast.

Better room division The floor plan, as it existed, was large enough to accommodate a double bed and ancillary furnishings, although the room, it should be reported, had no windows.

Positioned to the rear of the loft — and away from natural light — we figured we could still make it work.

We elected to call in a specialist room dividing company and, with our technical drawing as a guide, they built a

Because incoming light is managed by blinds in the room next door (and because our new glass spec is opaque, thereby assuring privacy), drapery wasn’t required.

If you have envisioned a holiday where the most strenuous thing you do is turn the pages of a wonderful novel or sip from a chilled glass of Prosecco, then I have found a little corner of heaven for you.

Not as well-known as Tuscany, Piedmont is the region west of Milan and northeast of Genoa. It lies in rolling hills dappled with vineyards that produce the first class Borolo Barberesco red wines.

This area has the highest concentration of gourmet chefs in Italy.

In one of the most beautiful valleys I discovered an early 17th century, butter coloured villa right out of a picture book. It has been restored by Chris and Nicola, British expats who now DEBBIE run this boutique hotel with their two grown-up daughTRAVIS ters.

Chris says guests ask what the dress code is, he laughs and says “please, please just come as you are.” So at La Villa throw on some sweats and a floppy hat and curl up by the pool. Enjoy long lazy lunches chatting with this passionate couple about their adventure of packing in their busy lives in the U.K. and transforming their wonderful hotel.

The suites are romantic, filled with antique finds and handcrafted pieces from the area. The bed and bath décor is light and airy as a summer day, and demonstrates a relaxed yet luxurious style that you can replicate in your home wherever you live. Walls are a clean plaster white, tile floors white, too, with a gentle contrast of grey in the bathroom tile’s floor pattern.

This is old world charm at its best, with antique flower stands, refinished dressers, and unique bed headboards bringing inviting textures and novel shapes to the spaces.

Do some research where you live to find out the area’s history and geography.

Then search summer yard sales and antique markets close by to find a few treasures that share stories of the past that relate to your own rooms.

A headboard with history, the beautiful shape and shadings in a gilt birdcage, or an oversized urn that was originally used outside and has acquired an aged patina make wonderful companions in personal rooms.

The look and touch of warm weather fabrics are intoxicating on their own.

Shaggy pillows and blankets that sparkle in the sunlight, and light-weight weaves with shots of colour give pleasing contrast to an all-white room.

Sheer curtains at the windows billow softly in the breeze, and caress the space with their delicate movement.

In the bath, a simple wood chair can be heaped with fluffy towels. Bring in a sconce or light fixture that is meant for a hallway or dining room to create some drama and surprise.

This summer style needs to breathe, so don’t overcrowd the space. Keep surfaces clean, clear and cool so that the mind and body can rest.

And if you are planning a getaway, www.lavillahotel.net will surely make you smile.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Saturday, July 19, 2014 D3

Four lessons learned from 25 years of gardening the king of mulch where we live is shredded cedar bark.

It rots down at just the right rate, it enriches the soil spectacularly well and it looks terrific.

We’ve found a local source that delivers by the truckload and the pile we got this spring is a 20-cubic-metre mountain that’s as big as a passenger van. It won’t last long.

Lesson 3: Aim for stability

HOUSEWORKS While some people are obviously better at gardening than others, I’ve come to realize that gardening success is possible for anyone with the energy to work and a heart that’s thrilled by beauty.

The so-called ‘green thumb’ myth comes down to nothing more than skills that are both simple yet challenging. Learn my four favourite gardening lessons and your thumbs will look like a lawn in June.

Lesson 1: Work hard The natural world is a stunning source of beauty on its own, but gardening is a partnership between nature and people.

There’s no such thing as a do-nothing garden. The gardeners that I see fail and give up most often have yet to realize that hard, consistent work is essential for success.

It’s about getting hot, tired and dirty, but what’s wrong with that?

Distraction, lack of focus and just plain laziness are the biggest reasons gardens fail to flourish.

Lesson 2: Use mulch I’m embarrassed to say it took me 10 years to learn how to mulch properly, and the difference in growth, soil fertility and satisfaction that mulch delivers is worth the trouble.

It’s gotten to the point where if I couldn’t mulch my gardens I simply wouldn’t garden any more.

That’s how much more fun gardening is with good mulch.

My wife and I have used hay, straw, leaves and pine needles over the years (most of which didn’t work well), but

Gardening can be a wearying struggle or an energizing partnership.

The difference often comes down to the ratio of perennial to annual plants.

We’ve discovered that an 85-to-15 ratio of perennials to annuals is ideal for ornamental gardens.

And though a ratio this high isn’t possible for food gardening because so many vegetables are annuals, you can go a long way towards boosting perennial food production with raspberries, blueberries, fruit trees and rhubarb.

Why focus on perennials?

Mostly because it makes gardening less work and more fun.

Perennials used with thick mulch frees you from the heavy, ongoing chore of turning the soil, battling weeds and frequent watering.

This is a huge benefit and often forms the difference between a lifelong love of gardening and giving up in exhaustion.

Even with minimal tillage, perennial plants still need to be taught to get along with each other.

The aggression of some plants must be tamed, while the timid beauty of others needs to be encouraged.

You’ll also need to keep an eye on the overall look and feel of your garden as a whole, taking some plants out entirely, moving others around and adding new ones here and there.

This is the horticultural equivalent of water colour painting, and it’s a joy as long as there are no weeds.

Weeds are the enemy of the stable perennial garden because they’ll overpower almost any domestic plant.

That’s why the first step towards achieving a stable garden is complete (and I mean complete) weed elimination.

Right: Another load of cedar mulch forked onto Steve’s cart, moving from pile to garden.

Follow this with a heavy layer of mulch and you’ve got a nice, clean slate for your garden ‘painting.’

None of these gardening lessons are complicated enough to seem profound, but that doesn’t mean it won’t take you a while to master them.

That’s why the fourth and most important lesson is just to give yourself years to learn how to make the three other lessons part of your gardening life.

Hilda played a major role in raising her eleven younger brothers and sisters. In her mid twenties, Hilda moved to Winnipeg to start a life of her own. She followed employment and eventually made her way to Edmonton, Alberta, where she met her husband, James.

The couple married and then raised their family and farmed near Penhold, Alberta. Hilda lived a long, happy and healthy life. She will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered and forever cherished in the hearts of all her family and dear friends.

She will also be sadly missed by her brother, Norman (Darlene) Kauk and two sisters, Julia Vipond and Hedy (Ben) Petersen and her sister-in-law, Peggy Hamill; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and other extended family. Relatives and friends are invited to come and pay their respects at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 5508 - 48A Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. with The Reverend Father Jozef Wroblewski celebrant.

In Memoriam BECKLEY In Loving Memory of Margaret Beckley Sept. 30, 1941 - July 20, 2011 There is a bridge of memories from here to heaven above that keeps you very close to us, it’s called the bridge of love.

As time goes by without you and days turn into years, they hold a million memories and a thousand silent tears.

To us you were so special, what more is there to say, except to wish with all our hearts, that you were here today.

So loved, so missed, ~Your loving family

Card Of Thanks

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. Frances will be deeply missed, but her legacy remains. A Memorial Service to celebrate the life of Frances Pauly will be held at the CrossRoads Church, 38105 R.R. 275, Red Deer County, on Monday, July 21, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. If friends desire, memorial gifts may be made to the charity of the donor’s choice. Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.eventidefuneralchapels.com.

Second group of migrants deported from U.S. arrive in Honduras SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras — A charter flight carrying 59 women and children has arrived in Honduras from New Mexico, the second group of migrants from the Central American country to be deported from the U.S. this week.

Nun Valdete Wileman welcomed the 33 children and 26 women on Friday at San Pedro Sula’s airport’s Center for Returned Migrants.

Wileman said there is a playground for the children and a place for their parents to clean up and get ready before continuing to their hometowns by bus. Each child received a small backpack with crayons, and their mothers about $24 for travel expenses.

She said each child that arrived was accompanied by his or her mother.

About 40 Honduran migrants detained in New Mexico were deported to their home country on Monday.

Iran nuclear talks extended until November after negotiators fail to meet July deal deadline VIENNA, Austria — Iran and six powers on Saturday extended nuclear talks until Nov. 24, in recognition that their differences were too big to reach a deal by the informal deadline of Sunday.

The decision was expected, with much of Friday spent on debating not obstacles standing in the way of an agreement but how long the add-on talks should go on and other related details.

“We have made tangible process on some of the issues,” said EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who co-ordinated the talks. But she cautioned of “significant gaps on some core issues which will require more time and effort.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif read the same statement in Farsi. Neither took questions.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who flew into Vienna a week ago to try and advance the talks, also spoke of “tangible progress,” in a statement released in Washington, while noting substantial differences on some issues. He said stretching out the talks for four more months “is warranted by the progress we’ve made and the path forward we can envision.”

Since the current phase of talks began early this year, the biggest obstacle has been uranium enrichment, which can make both reactor fuel and the core of a nuclear warhead. Iran says it does not want such weapons but demands it be allowed to keep its present program.

The United States and its Western allies want deep cuts. Neither Zarif nor Ashton named a time or venue for the next meetings saying only they will be held in “coming weeks.”

Relatives of Argentina bombing victims demand justice 20 years after terror attack BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — The relatives of 85 people killed in Argentina’s deadliest terror attack are demanding justice and calling on their government to annul an agreement with Iran to investigate the bombing 20 years ago.

The call came Friday on the anniversary of the 1994 bombing of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association in downtown Buenos Aires. The attack remains unsolved, but an Argentine prosecutor last year released an indictment that accuses Iran and Hezbollah of organizing the attack.

Iran has denied involvement.

A joint Argentine-Iran “truth commission” approved by both governments in 2013 promised to move the investigation forward by enabling Argentine prosecutors to travel to Tehran and question high-ranking Iranian officials.

But the probe has not advanced and the victims’ relatives believe the agreement has actually protected the perpetrators.

Pentagon: 15% of Syrian sarin material destroyed on U.S. ship in Mediterranean WASHINGTON — The Pentagon says 15 per cent of the main Syrian chemical weapons on board the U.S. cargo vessel MV Cape Ray have been destroyed.

The crew is working first to neutralize the raw material for sarin nerve gas, which makes up 581 metric tons of the chemical material on the ship.

Mustard gas accounts for the remaining 19 metric tons of chemical material on the Cape Ray. The Pentagon has said it could take up to 60 days, depending on the weather and sea conditions, to destroy all the chemical toxins loaded on the ship.

The Cape Ray left Italy in early July and moved into international waters to begin the neutralization of the chemicals.

Militant attack on checkpoint, drive-by shooting targeting police leave 13 dead in Pakistan PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A militant attack on a security checkpoint in northwestern Pakistan, a roadside bomb and a drive-by shooting targeting policemen killed 13 people on Friday, including a civilian, officials said.

The attack in the troubled northwestern tribal region took place before dawn, when a group of militants opened fire at a security checkpoint, killing eight troops, according to government administrator Iqbal Khan.

Khan said the attack happened in Jamrud, a main town in the Khyber tribal region bordering Afghanistan, and that four of the attackers also died in the fighting. He added that authorities had launched a major operation in Jamrud to try and find the rest of the attackers. Jamrud is 40 kilometres west of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

Meanwhile, a roadside bomb on Friday struck a vehicle carrying police in Peshawar, killing an officer and wounding two others, officer Ghaffar Khan said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, which came at a time when the Pakistan army is carrying out a major offensive against local and foreign militants in the country’s North Waziristan tribal region.

Germany: people leaving Catholic church spiked last year amid ‘bling bishop’ furor BERLIN — The German Bishops’ Conference says the number of Germans leaving the Roman Catholic church jumped sharply last year, an apparent result of an uproar over a bishop’s lavish new residence.

The conference said Friday that 178,805 people formally left the church in 2013, compared with 118,335 the previous year.

The figure was just short of the 181,000 people who quit the church in 2010 amid a scandal over sexual abuse by clergy.

Pope Francis permanently removed FranzPeter Tebartz-van Elst as Limburg bishop in March, months after an outcry erupted over his residence’s 31 million-euro price tag. Cardinal Reinhard Marx, who heads the bishops’ conference, said “the second half of 2013 evidently led to a loss of confidence and credibility.”

A Pro-Russian fighter stands guard at the site of a crashed Malaysia Airlines passenger plane near the village of Hrabove, Ukraine, eastern Ukraine Friday. Rescue workers, policemen and even off-duty coal miners were combing a sprawling area in eastern Ukraine near the Russian border where the Malaysian plane ended up in burning pieces Thursday, killing all 298 aboard.

Leaders demand credible investigation SEEKING WHO SHOT DOWN MALAYSIAN PLANE IN UKRAINE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ROZSYPNE, Ukraine — World leaders demanded Friday that pro-Russia rebels who control the eastern Ukraine crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 give immediate, unfettered access to independent investigators to determine who shot down the plane.

At an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council, the U.S. pointed blame at the separatists, saying Washington believes the jetliner carrying 298 people, including 80 children, likely was downed by an SA-11 missile, and “we cannot rule out technical assistance from Russian personnel.”

Both the White House and the Kremlin called for peace talks in the conflict between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-speaking separatists who seek closer ties to Moscow. Heavy fighting was reported less than 100 kilometres from the crash site, with an estimated 20 civilians reported killed. Emergency workers and local coal miners recovered bodies from grasslands and fields of sunflowers, where the wreckage of the Boeing 777 fell Thursday.

About 30 officials, mostly from the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe, arrived at the crash site between the villages of Rozsypne and Hrabove, about 40 kilometres from the Russian border.

The rebels allowed the team to perform a very partial and superficial inspection. While the delegation was leaving under orders from the armed overseers, two Ukrainian members lingered to look at a fragment of the plane by a roadside, only for a militiaman to fire a warning shot in the air with his Kalashnikov. The dead passengers were from nearly a dozen nations — including vacationers, students and a group heading to an AIDS conference

in Australia — when the plane was shot down Thursday while flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.

President Barack Obama, disclosing that one American was among those killed, called it “a global tragedy.”

“An Asian airliner was destroyed in European skies filled with citizens from many countries, so there has to be a credible international investigation into what happened,” he said.

In Kyiv, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk vented his anger in calling for an international investigation.

“We ask all respective governments ... to support the Ukrainian government to bring to justice all these bastards who committed this international crime,” he said.

All sides in the conflict — the Ukrainian government, the pro-Russia rebels they are fighting and the Russian government that Ukraine accuses of supporting the rebels — denied shooting down the plane. Moscow also denies backing the rebels.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed accusations that Moscow could be behind the attack.

“Regarding those claims from Kyiv that we allegedly did it ourselves: I have not heard a truthful statement from Kyiv for months,” he told the Rossiya 24 television channel.

At the Security Council, U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said the missile was likely fired from a rebel-held area near the Russian border.

Power said that early Thursday, a journalist saw an SA-11 system — known in Russia as a Buk missile system — in separatist-controlled territory near Snizhne, “and separatists were spotted hours before the incident with an SA-11 SAM system close to the site where the plane came down.”

“Separatists initially claimed responsibility for shooting down a mili-

Researcher, activist heading to AIDS conference were on jet

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SYDNEY, Australia — A prominent researcher, two activists and at least two others headed to an AIDS conference in Australia were on the Malaysian jetliner shot down over Ukraine, news that sparked an outpouring of grief across the scientific community.

Among the passengers were a former president of the International AIDS Society, Joep Lange, a wellknown researcher from the Netherlands, and World Health Organization spokesman Glenn Thomas, based in Geneva. Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, when it crashed Thursday in eastern Ukraine. How many of the nearly 300 on board were headed to the conference wasn’t immediately known. The 20th International AIDS conference starts Sunday in the Victoria state capital of Melbourne.

Thousands of scientists and activists are expected to attend to discuss the latest developments in HIV and AIDS research. The Academic Medical Center hospital in Amsterdam said in a statement that two of its staff, Lange and his colleague Jacqueline van Tongeren, were believed to have perished.

“Joep was a man who knew no barriers,” the hospital said. “He was a great inspiration for everybody who wanted to do something about the AIDS tragedy in Africa and Asia.”

Van Tongeren was head of communications at the Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development and had previously been an HIV-AIDS nurse, a University of Amsterdam statement said.

Lange was the institute’s executive scientific director.

Nobel laureate Dr. Francoise BarreSinoussi, co-discoverer of the AIDS virus and president of the International AIDS Society, paid tribute to Lange in a speech in the Australian capital, Canberra. The international society sponsors the AIDS conference “Joep was a wonderful person — a great professional ... but more than that, a wonderful human being,” she said. “If it is confirmed, it will be a terrible loss for all of us. I have no words, really, to try to express my sadness. I feel totally devastated.”

She later told reporters the conference would continue out of respect for the lives lost: “Because we know that it’s really what they would like us to do.”

Lange had been working on HIV since the earliest years of the epidemic, participating in clinical trials and research across the world, Barre-Sinoussi said. He had dedicated his life, she said, to “the benefit of mankind.”

Sharon Lewin, co-chair of the conference, called Lange a true renaissance man, who also had a keen interest in arts and literature.

“He was passionate about his job and passionate about global health and improving people’s lives in lowincome countries,” she said.

WHO spokesman Glenn Thomas, who was en route to the conference, was also among the dead, said Christian Lindmeier, spokesman for WHO’s Western Pacific region.

“Everybody’s devastated,” Lindmeier said. “It’s a real blow.”

Also on board was Dutch activist Pim de Kuijer, once a political intern of former Dutch lawmaker Lousewies van der Laan.

tary transport plane, and claimed esponsibility and posted videos that are now being connected to the Malaysian Airlines crash,” Power said. “Separatist leaders also boasted on social media about shooting down a plane, but later deleted these messages.”

“Because of the technical complexity of the SA-11, it is unlikely that the separatists could effectively operate the system without assistance from knowledgeable personnel. Thus, we cannot rule out technical assistance from Russian personnel in operating the systems,” she said.

Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin did not respond to the U.S. allegations.

Ukraine’s Interior Ministry released a video purporting to show a truck carrying the Buk missile launcher it said was used to fire on the plane with one of its four missiles apparently missing.

The ministry said the video was shot by a police surveillance squad at dawn Friday as the truck headed toward the Russian border. There was no way to independently verify the video.

The entire Security Council called for “a full, thorough and independent international investigation, in accordance with international civil aviation guidelines, and for appropriate accountability.” It stressed the need for “immediate access by investigators to the crash site to determine the cause of the incident.”

Obama also called for such an investigation, adding: “The eyes of the world are on eastern Ukraine, and we are going to make sure that the truth is out.”

He also called for a cease-fire in the conflict between the separatists and Ukrainian forces. At a Kremlin meeting, Russian President Vladimir Putin urged that “all sides in the conflict should halt their fighting and enter into peaceful talks,” according to an official website.

On Thursday, Putin blamed Ukraine

Majority of plane victims were Dutch The Malaysia Airlines plane shot down over wartorn eastern Ukraine on Thursday was carrying 298 passengers and crew. They hailed from 12 countries, though it wasn’t clear how many had dual nationalities; Malaysia Airlines said one was a dual U.S.-Dutch citizen. The airline and relevant governments gave these figures: Netherlands: 192 Malaysia: 44 (including 15 crew and two infants) Australia: 28 Indonesia: 12 (including one infant) United Kingdom: 10 Germany: 4 Belgium: 4 Vietnam: 3 Philippines: 3 United States: 1 Canada: 1 New Zealand: 1 Hong Kong: 1 for the crash, saying Kyiv was responsible for the unrest in its Russianspeaking eastern regions. But he didn’t accuse Ukraine of shooting the plane down and didn’t address the key question of whether Russia gave the rebels such a powerful missile.

Ukraine’s state aviation service closed the airspace Friday over two border regions gripped by separatist fighting — Donetsk and Luhansk — and Russian airlines suspended all flights over Ukraine.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS There is something about the high school years that makes female chess enthusiasts stop playing, the game’s governing body says.

According to the Chess Federation of Canada, while interest in playing competitively wanes for both genders in their teens, the percentage of girls who drop out is higher than boys, resulting in abysmally few women at the game’s top levels.

For the Canadian Youth Chess Championship in Montreal this Tuesday, about onethird of the 320-odd players are girls — a stark contrast to adult competitions where women make up about five per cent of the field on average.

“It’s difficult to say exactly why that happens, but it does,” said Vladimir Drkulec, the chess federation’s president.

“I had a girl that I was teaching that finished second in Canada in the under-14 girls’ (competition), and she retired from chess after that...

That seems to be a recurrent happening.”

Yelizaveta Orlova, who has represented Canada in international chess events, was about the same age when she stopped playing for a year and a half.

The 19-year-old, who has been playing since age four, said she started feeling selfconscious at 14 as chess was not seen as a traditionally cool pursuit.

“The reaction of one of my friends was kind of like, ‘Really? You play?”’ she said. “It wasn’t even the fact that he was joking about it. It was the tone that kind of set it off.

“I was young; that’s when girls tend to overthink about a lot of things.”

Orlova added that boys, on the other hand, seem to worry less about social status at that age, and more male chess players stay in the game.

Rebecca Giblon, 17, the current sixth ranked female player in Canada, said in lower-level tournaments, boys also gravitate toward unpro-

“Thirteen- to 15-year-old boys aren’t mature even on a good day,” she said. “The players at local tournaments make jokes about stuff.

“Not specifically going against me because I’m a girl, but it’s just among a huge list of making fun of everybody for everything.”

Canada currently has 10 men who have been awarded the grandmaster title — the highest level in the game — but no women, though some countries have several.

The world chess governing body has both male and female titles, but women are eligible for the harder-to-get male title as well as women’s titles.

The Canadian government provides no funding to chess.

Orlova, who was born in Ukraine, said Canada lacks a strong chess culture and places more emphasis on physical sports such as hockey and basketball.

“When you go to Europe, chess is actually a fairly wellknown game,” she said.

“Many people here, they don’t even say the word ’chess,’ they mistake it for the word ’chest.”’

Drkulec said that even in

Michigan, the state that borders Windsor, Ont., where he is based, the proportion of women who play in tournaments is about three times that of Canada.

To encourage more female participation, the chess federation created two women-only national titles last April that are easier to attain than their open-category counterparts.

The titles faced opposition even from within, with some saying it suggests women cannot compete intellectually with men. The motion to create them passed with 10 voting members — nearly one-third — either indicating no or abstaining.

Drkulec added that while it is difficult to pin the lack of female participation to a specific factor, it does exist — and it perpetuates itself.

Drkulec said the federation has stepped up efforts to target women and girls — female-only titles and events, for instance — but it would be a challenge to reach its goal: a 50-50 gender ratio.

“We are encouraging our members to do more in that area, but that’s all we can do,” he said. “The federation itself is just basically the members — we have one full-time employee.”
