SOUTHERN ALBERTA

Land plan creates park CONSERVATIONISTS SAY NOT ENOUGH DONE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The province has released its management plan for southern Alberta, but environmentalists say the land-use strategy comes up short. The plan covers the region that stretches from the Rockies to the Saskatchewan boundary and from the U.S. border to just north of Calgary. It includes eight new or expanded conservation areas. They include the new Castle Wildland Provincial Park at almost 550 square kilometres and the 340-squarekilometre Pekisko Heritage Rangeland. A dozen primitive areas for camping and recreational use are to be created. Conservation groups say the plan doesn’t do enough to protect the environment, particularly the Castle wilderness in the southwest. They note the plan only protects about half of the Castle area. “There will be no change in clearcut logging. All the logging that’s scheduled will be, as far as I can tell, permitted under this plan,” said Gord Petersen of the Castle-Crown Wilderness Coalition. “There’s really nothing new here. It’s a new name for business as usual.” The government says protection has been expanded to a wider area in the Castle with more checks and balances on industry. The province says it is protecting critical watersheds and habitats and providing new recreational opportunities across southern Alberta. “The new land-use plan will manage the growth pressures in this region so our children and grandchildren will benefit from a pristine environment and a growing economy,” Premier Dave Hancock said in a release. The plan received feedback from more than 7,500 Albertans “This plan . . . strikes the right balance of recreation and economic opportunity while protecting the environment and achieving conservation goals,” said Environment Minister Robin Campbell.

Town budgets $29M for multiplex BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

SYLVAN LAKE

A $29-million budget has been set by Sylvan Lake town council for its proposed multiplex. The budget is significantly higher than the $16.5 million estimate in preliminary planning of two years ago. But that number was soon out of date as the project’s scope expanded, particularly after it was decided early this year to add a five-sheet curling rink. The rink had earlier been proposed as a stand-alone facility. Other changes included incorporating an existing aquatic centre and a multiplex built in 2006 into the Sylvan Lake NexSource Centre. The facility will also include fitness rooms, a running track, seniors and children’s activity centres and other meeting spaces. “$29 million is our first real directed budget amount,” said Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre. “Up until now we were determining the needs of the community and designing accordingly.” Council’s decision on Tuesday provides the number architects need to prepare detailed designs for the facility. A maximum $13 million will be bor-

Another $4 million will come from franchise fees, which are paid by natural gas and electricity providers to the town. User groups and other contributors are expected to contribute about $2.55 million, fundraising and sponsorships $2 million, $2 million from a provincial grant, plus another $2 million from neighbouring municipalities.

The curling club will contribute $1.5 million and the town is already at 60 per cent of the $2-million fundraising goal. The town’s recreation reserve fund will be tapped for $1.85 million and another $1.5 million will come directly from taxes.

Patients, visitors and staff who suffer recurring parking pains at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre should soon receive 1,100 stalls worth of relief. The city’s municipal planning commission has approved the development of a five-storey parkade on the southeast corner of the hospital’s 3942 50A Ave. property. Construction of the

$44-million project is expected to begin this fall and take about 18 months to complete, said Kerry Bales, chief zone officer for Alberta Health Services’ central zone. “I think probably spring-summer 2016 is what we’re aiming for.” The parkade will have an elevator and parking for bicycles. It will be constructed with stained precast concrete, and perforated aluminum plate curtain walls to the north, south and east.

Drowning prevention campaign comes to Sylvan Lake Before jumping in a lake this summer, consider this solemn reminder: you could drown. That fact is behind a campaign being brought to Sylvan Lake today in conjunction with National Drowning Prevention Week. From 3-5 p.m. that day towels will be laid out along the Sylvan beach that read “Before you think only other swimmers drown, have a word with yourself.” “You lay them out and scatter around other beachy items, but there are no people there. So ‘Where are the people that go with these towels?’ is the discussion starter,” said Kathleen Raines, executive director of Safe Communities Coalition of Central Alberta. The campaign was initiated in Ontario last year by two non-profits, and is spreading across Canada in 2014. Safe Communities plans to bring it to Gull Lake as well in late August. Last year there were two drownings in Sylvan Lake. One of the victims fit into the 18-to-24 age group which experiences the most water-related deaths. “It does happen in Central Alberta, in these lakes, which is why we’re doing it,” said Raines. The towels will be set up near a life-jacket loaner station that operates at the site near the Beach Ambassador’s hut in Centennial Park. The self-serve kiosk allows beachgoers to borrow life-jackets available in a variety of sizes before returning them when out of the water. Signs around the kiosk display a similar message to what Safe Communities is trumpeting: ‘You’re not expecting to need a life-jacket today.’ Raines said the main messages of the campaign are that children should be kept within arm’s reach while in the water and that they should be wearing life-jackets. Within the last decade more than 570 children in Canada have drowned.

LAND: ‘Areas designated as parks remain patchy’ The Alberta Wilderness Association disagrees. “The plan . . . does not provide the claimed balance between conservation and economic development when 80 per cent of this region’s species at risk are in the grasslands, where there is not a single designated conservation area,” said spokeswoman Brittany Verbeek. “Oil and gas development continues and native grassland conversion into agricultural lands is still possible with this plan.” Verbeek said increased conservation areas in the mountains may help the recovery of certain species at risk such as grizzly bear and bull trout. “However, the areas designated as parks remain patchy, omit critical valleys supporting unusual plant and animal diversity and do not provide the connectivity and landscape-level protection that many species need to survive,” she said in a release. The plan also delays urgent action on off-road motorized vehicle access across most public lands, she added. The strategy is to go into effect Sept. 1. Alberta’s only other completed land-use plan has not been fully implemented, almost two years after it came into effect. The proposed conservation areas proposed for the Lower Athabasca area, which covers the oilsands region, have not been created and management plans for oilsands tailings, land and water reclamation have not been fully implemented. The plan has also run into legal heavy weather. All six First Nations in the area have requested it be reviewed by the courts.

VANCOUVER — Fossilized footprints uncovered in northeastern British Columbia suggest the ferocious tyrannosaurs that ruled the Earth 70 million years ago just may have been more gregarious than they’ve been given credit for. The trio of footprints preserved in a remote ridge of rock near Tumbler Ridge, B.C., is the first foot track evidence that the saw-toothed beasts were not solitary, but travelled in packs.

Richard McCrea, of the Peace Region Palaeontology Research Centre, says the tyrannosaur trails were exposed by heavy rains in the region in 2011 and the first two footprints were discovered by a local guide outfitter that October. The guide immediately reported the find and over the next year, McCrea and his team uncovered five more tyrannosaurid tracks and dozens of other dinosaur footprints preserved so well that skin imprints are visible. Each footprint is more than half a metre long, and paleontologists estimate the trio were 26, 29 and 25 years old.

PARKADE: Boost number of stalls to 2,003

rangements for temporary parking at the former Bettenson’s Sand and Gravel premises northwest of the hospital, and for staff parking at the former UFA Co-op property at 5432 45th St. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

The building’s footprint will cover approximately 88,260 square feet, and its gross floor area over all five levels will be about 441,320 square feet. Once completed, the parkade will increase the number of parking stalls at the hospital to 2,003 from the current 1,215. It will be engineered so that two additional levels can be added in the future, as the need arises. Although the recent expansion of the Central Alberta Cancer Centre increased the need for parking at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, the decision to build a parkade reflects the general growth of operations at the hospital, said Bales. He pointed out that the project will be debtfinanced, with its cost recouped from future parking revenues. “There are no health care or public tax dollars that go into the construction of the parkade.” Members of the commission voted unanimously to support the parkade application. “Although I have some reservations about the magnitude and scale, and of the impact of that, I think ultimately it will serve to alleviate many of the long-standing negative parking impacts for the surrounding residents, and some of the parking challenges in the neighbourhood to the south that have been experienced,” said Mayor Tara Veer. Peter Holloway, a citizen representative on the commission, expressed concerns about the loss of parking during construction. But Kyle Schultz, Alberta Health Service’s project manager, said the laydown area for the work should be restricted to the fenced construction area. “They build these parkades in downtown Calgary, and they’re given much less real estate to lay down than we’re giving them,” said Schultz.

Sylvan Lake’s $100,000 prize for being crowned this past winter as Kraft Hockeyville will also go towards the new facility, which is much needed after heavy snow collapsed the roof of one of the town’s two arenas last winter. Council made it clear that $13 million in borrowing was the cost that could be supported. “With an unlimited amount of money we could do an unlimited amount of things, but we do have to be responsible with spending on development and make sure we’re within our means and we decided a debenture amount of $13 million was as much as we were able and willing to provide for the project,” said McIntyre. The borrowing is expected to push the town’s total debt load to $26.1 million in 2018 — about 67 per cent of the limit allowed under provincial regulations. The percentage of allowable debt will drop to 44 per cent by 2024. The next step is for the volunteer design committee overseeing the project and architects to create detailed designs. Council will make a decision on the design after the committee makes its recommendations. Town spokeswoman Joanne Gaudet said council has included a large 18 per cent contingency to ensure there is money available for unexpected expenses. If all goes to plan, it is expected shovels will go into the ground in 2016. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

A3 Alberta issues health advisory BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BASHAW — Health officials have issued an advisory for residents of a central Alberta town more than a month after a spill of sand used in fracking. Alberta Health Services says the spill happened June 17 at the Wild

Rose Country Commodities site near the CNR railway in the town of Bashaw. Officials say it involved about 580 tonnes of frac sand. AHS says the spill has been cleaned up, but says anyone who removed sand from the site to take precautions. Frac sand is a very fine crystalline silica material and can easily be mistaken for sand used in children’s sandboxes or playgrounds. AHS says direct exposure to it or inhalation of it can pose a health risk, but adds limited, short-term exposure

Man with air gun arrested at pro-Israel rally THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A man said to be well known to police is in custody after trying to take an air gun into a rally in support of Israel at the Calgary Jewish Community Centre. Police on scene drew their weapons when the object was discovered during a security check. Duty Sgt. Paul Wozney says there was no altercation and the suspect is being charged with possessing a weapon dangerous to the public peace. Last week, a protest at city hall in support of Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza turned violent when a handful of Israeli supporters showed up. Some men began pushing and shoving, and one man stomped on an Israeli flag before police moved in and set up a line of officers to separate the groups and try to ease tensions. On Wednesday,

Calgary keeps growing

PUBLIC NOTICE

CALGARY — Alberta’s biggest city just keeps getting bigger. The latest municipal census shows Calgary’s population went up by 3.3 per cent, or more than 38,000, in 2013. It’s the largest ever yearly increase for a city which now sits just shy of the 1.2 million mark. The census shows 28,000 more people moved to Calgary than left, while the birth rate was higher than the death rate by nearly 10,500. Separate analysis shows Calgary’s vacancy rate is two per cent and that the car is still king, with nearly 70 per cent of commuters driving to and from work.

Safety Administration says hydraulic fracturing sand contains up to 99 per cent silica. Breathing silica can cause silicosis, a lung disease where tissue around trapped silica particles reacts, causing inflammation and scarring and reducing the lungs’ ability to take in oxygen. Workers who breathe silica day after day are at greater risk of developing silicosis. Fracking extracts otherwise inaccessible oil and gas by fracturing rocks with high-pressure injections of water and other compounds.

POWER LINES HOISTED

Wozney said the man who was taken to custody appears to have acted alone and was not related to last week’s clash. Calgary police had a stronger presence at Wednesday’s event after admitting there should have been more officers at the city hall protest. Spokesman Kevin Brookwell said the department’s Major Event Emergency Management Section, which not only monitors, but interacts with protest groups, didn’t place the call to deploy more officers. “Previous protests by the groups involved have been peaceful,” he said. “It’s also possible outsiders are to blame for the violence. It’s not uncommon for people not affiliated with a protest to swoop in, cause trouble and leave.” He said police are continuing to follow up on complaints from people who were at the city hall protest who claim they were hurt.

COMMENT

THURSDAY, JULY 24, 2014

Putin’s growing web of evil “...and once the TAR (Target Acquisition Radar) has lock-on, this light will go green. Then just push this button here, and the rest’s automatic. Good luck! Oh, and make sure nobody’s standing behind the missile when you launch.” Maybe the crew who launched the missile that brought down Malaysian Airlines flight 17 over eastern Ukraine last week were trained professionals, but it seems unlikely. That crew (or somebody else) was good enough to down GWYNNE three UkraiDYER nian Air Force planes over the rebel-held zone in the previous week, but they weren’t good enough to tell the difference between a military aircraft and a civilian airliner. The Ukrainian planes were smallish aircraft flying low in a combat zone; the huge Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 was flying straight and steady at 10,000 metres. A fully trained operator would know the difference in an instant. Somebody who had just had a crash course in firing Buk missiles (two tracked vehicles and a lot of electronics) might not. So 298 people died. There are two questions to answer here. One is: who did it? The Ukrainian government, the pro-Russian rebels and the Russian Federation have all denied responsibility. The other is: what happens if, despite their denials, the rebels and/or the Russians themselves are to blame? Is this horrible event a “game-changer”? Who did it is actually pretty obvious. At least one Buk launch team was spotted by an Associated Press reporter in the rebel-held zone the day before, and there may have been more. The Russians have been trying to deny the air-space over the combat zone to the Ukrainians so that their army has to do all its fighting without air support and suffers increased casualties. Six Ukrainian planes have been shot down in the past six weeks. The Ukrainian government says it has no surface-to-air missiles in the area, and it is probably telling the truth. With one possible exception, there have been no reports of Russian planes overflying the region, so anti-air defences were not needed. The really damning evidence, however, is on the social media sites. First there is a post on a top rebel commander’s site, just at the time MH17 went down, claiming to have downed a Ukrainian transport plane. Within hours that post was deleted.

INSIGHT

Then the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) posted intercepted telephone conversations between rebel commanders on YouTube. “Demon,” commanding the rebel troops who are the first to the crash site, reports: “Cossacks from the Chernunkhino checkpoint shot down the plane. ... They found the first body. It’s a civilian.” “Were there many people?” asks his superior, nicknamed “Greek.” “A ----load,” replies Demon. “The debris rained right into the yards.” “Any weapons there?” asks Greek. “None at all. Civilian things. Medical stuff, towels, toilet paper,” says Demon. “Any documents?” asks Greek. And Demon, finally realizing what must have happened, replies: “Yes. From an Indonesian student. From Thompson University.” And he curses again. It’s probably not Thompson University, which is an entirely online institution in the United States. It’s almost certainly Thompson Rivers Univer-

sity, in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, which has a student exchange agreement with the International Islamic Education Council (IIEC) in Indonesia. And there’s no way, without access to the crash site and with only a few hours to do the job, that the Ukrainian intelligence service could have come up with that kind of detail to put into a fake recording. It’s genuine. The rebels did it. Russia didn’t want the Cossacks at Chernunkhino to shoot down a civilian airliner, but it has been giving the rebels heavy weapons while strenuously denying it. It has been caught red-handed and hundreds have died. This is indeed a game-changer — but in which direction? One option would be for Moscow to admit it, apologize whole-heartedly, and abandon its clients in eastern Ukraine. That is unlikely to happen. As President Vladimir Putin said, “This tragedy would not have occurred if there

were peace in that country, or in any case, if hostilities had not resumed in southeast Ukraine. And certainly, the government over whose territory it occurred is responsible for this terrible tragedy.” In other words, yeah, we gave the rebels the weapons, and they used them to shoot down the airliner, but the whole thing wouldn’t have happened if the Ukrainian government had just given in to the rebels. So it’s really Kiev’s fault, not ours. The signs are clear: Russia is going to brazen it out, and go on supplying the separatist rebels with weapons. The Western Europeans have been trying to look the other way (although the United States did impose some extra sanctions), but they can’t look away after this. Western sanctions against Russia are going to go up quickly and steeply now. It’s already ugly, and it’s going to get even uglier.

Saving the sage grouse: politics vs. reality BY WILL VERBOVEN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Last year, the federal government issued its first ever emergency order to protect the sage grouse, an endangered species that lives in the southeast Alberta and southwest Saskatchewan area. There are only about 100 of the birds left and the expectation is that they could soon become extirpated from that specific area. However, the sage grouse species is far from going extinct; there are many thousands living just across the border in Montana. The reality is that the emergency order has more to do with environmental political mischief than any concern for the fate of the sage grouse. Green lobby group lawyers found a clause in the federal Endangered Species Act that allowed for an emergency order to protect a species that was in eminent danger of going extinct in Canada. The lobby groups threatened to sue the federal government if they did not issue the order. Rather than deal with a lawsuit that had bad political optics, the feds weighed the political consequences. They found the issue probably involved fewer than a thousand folks who were going to vote Conservative anyway. Compared to the public relations and media hysteria from losing a lawsuit to protect a pretty bird species from rapacious oil companies and cattle barons, the emergency order was an easy decision to make for the feds. Politics is merciless and the livelihood of a few

ranchers and some oil well operators is a small price for the Conservative government to pay to keep pesky green group lobbyists off its back for a seemingly minor issue. However, ranchers in the area see the emergency order as a threat to their traditional cattle grazing practices. They anticipate government enforcers will be demanding costly changes that will increase their costs and possibly take away their grazing leases, all to protect a few sage grouse in an area covering hundreds of thousands of acres. The fact that the grouse is at its northern range and may no longer be adapted to the area is ignored by the emergency order. The first casualty in this matter is common sense, but that’s just how politically-motivated issues work. The fact that tough cold winters, increased predation, limited food sources, competition from other species and other factors may be the cause of the demise of the sage grouse is not mentioned. The reality that the sage grouse exists in abundance right next door in Montana is also of no consequence. The other reality is that unless the government receives letters or a petition from at least 50,000 outraged citizens, they will not consider rescinding the emergency order. So what could the affected landowners realistically do to avoid the worst case scenario, that being what the green groups want, complete termination of all cattle grazing and oil industry activity in the area? They need to take a more proactive approach, they need to accept the emergency order and find ways to moderate their worst fears. They need to take charge of the issue and put forth their own proposal to save the sage grouse. Align that with a positive political

The first step is to announce that local landowners will be taking the initiate to establish an oversight committee to re-establish the sage grouse in the area. Invite all stakeholders to participate, including green groups and governments. The next step is to announce that extensive research is the only way to establish a scientific road map for sage grouse preservation. Agriculture Canada’s One Four research ranch, which is in the middle of the affected area, would be the centre of new grouse research. It would be difficult to oppose such research, particularly in light of so much anecdotal evidence as to why the grouse has disappeared from the area. More research is usually a compromise approach for government bureaucrats to cool off and delay controversial decisions. Time is becoming a factor as busybody green groups, having won the first round, will be pressing the feds to enforce onerous regulations on land owners and lease holders. Without a positive alternative sage grouse preservation strategy, ranchers will soon find themselves losing any influence on the future of the land so critical to their livelihood. Finally, conservation legislation needs to take into account that borders can artificially create orphan populations of endangered species. That might forestall green groups from initiating mischief lawsuits to score political points. Will Verboven covers rural issues for Troy Media (troymedia.com).

B.C. man faces terror charge ACCUSED OF JOINING ISLAMIST FIGHTERS IN SYRIA BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

A rifle owner checks the sight of his rifle at a hunting camp property in rural Ontario west of Ottawa. The Harper government says it will introduce legislation this fall to ease restrictions on transporting firearms while making firearmssafety courses mandatory for first-time gun owners.

Proposal looks to ease restrictions on transporting guns

— STEVEN BLANEY PUBLIC SAFETY MINISTER

said Blaney. “We are intending to announce the merging of those two licences so there’s one single licence in this country for possession and acquisition of firearms,” he said. The proposed legislation would also see Ottawa to take on powers currently held by some provincial authorities. Under the proposed law, gun owners would also be permitted to transport weapons as part of their firearms licence. Currently, gun owners in Ontario, Quebec and P.E.I. have to apply to their provincial chief firearms officer when they want to transport a restricted or prohibited weapon. Changes being proposed to the Criminal Code would also “strengthen firearms prohibitions for those who are convicted of domestic violence offences,” said the minister. The proposals were announced just hours after Statistics Canada released a reported showing a dramatic decline in the severity of crimes being committed, including firearms offences, over the past decade.

OTTAWA — The Conservative government is proposing new legislation that would ease restrictions on transporting firearms, make firearms-safety courses mandatory for first-time gun owners and prevent people convicted of spousal assault from legally owning guns. Under the government’s proposed Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act, gun owners who allow their weapon permits to lapse will be given a grace period to renew them. While their permits are expired, firearms owners won’t be allowed to buy new guns or ammunition, but would no longer face possible jail time as a result of the expiry. “We will create a grace period at the end of the five-year licence to stop people from immediately becoming criminalized for paperwork errors,” Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said as he announced the proposed overhaul at a shooting range in northern Ontario. “The threat of prison time for something you were legally authorized to possess the previous day is not acceptable.” The length of the grace period has not yet been specified. The government also plans to combine two licences currently needed to own and use firearms — the possession and acquisition licences. Once the law is passed, there will be just one licence required,

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia man has been charged under a new anti-terrorism law for allegedly leaving the country to join Islamist fighters in Syria. It’s the first time the recent Criminal Code legislation has been used as a tool to fight terrorism, said RCMP Cpl. David Falls. Police say 25-year-old Hasibullah Yusufzai is accused of committing an offence for the benefit of a terrorist group or was directed by or associated with such a group. “The individual is known to have travelled to Syria to join Islamist fighters,” the RCMP said in a statement. It’s alleged Yusufzai left Canada on Jan. 21. “This case underscores the reality that there are individuals in Canada who have embraced the extremist ideology and who are willing to act upon it,” the statement said. “More importantly, it highlights the fact that there are new tools within the Criminal Code that enhance the RCMP’s ability to counter terrorist activity.” A woman who answered the phone at Yusufzai’s home in Burnaby said he wasn’t there, and then said she didn’t speak English. A neighbour named Nasir AhmadAli said he hasn’t seen Yusufzai for almost a year. He said Yusufzai went by the name Hasib, seemed to move around a lot and lived at times with his girlfriend. Before losing touch with Yusufzai, they had hung out, “smoking weed and cigarettes and drinking sometimes.” Ahmad-Ali, who has lived in the same apartment as Yusufzai for seven years, said he believed the young man

spent most of his childhood in the area and worked at the nearby mall. “He was OK. He was a really nice guy,” Ahmad-Ali said, adding that the charges are surprising. “He wasn’t that kind of person, actually, to be honest. He wasn’t religious.” Yusufzai’s mother and father lived nearby and he had two brothers, Ahmad-Ali said. Yusufzai worked for five years for Concord Security as a guard in two Metro Vancouver malls. Concord vice-president Mark Forward said he was likable, and performed his job well. In January, Forward said Yusufzai disappeared. “He just left, I don’t think we got any notice of it,” said Forward. “We haven’t heard from him since.” Roh Yusufzai told The Globe and Mail that his brother wasn’t in Syria and went to Turkey for the month of Ramadan. He said his brother isn’t capable of joining a terrorist group or being violent. Mounties say they’re working on the case with their international partners. “The RCMP is concerned about Canadians travelling abroad to participate in terrorist-related criminal activity,” the statement from the force said. It said countering the radicalization that leads to violence also depends on the public taking an active role, including helping police by reporting suspicious or illegal activity. “In conjunction with local police, the RCMP outreach and engagement activities are designed to help Canadian communities and families see the indicators of vulnerability to violent extremism, and understand the responsibilities they share with law enforcement in maintaining Canada’s national security.”

Fewer crimes being committed, and they are less severe BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the number of crimes committed was lower last year, but so was the severity of those criminal acts. The agency says the police-reported Crime Severity Index fell by nine per cent in 2013, the tenth consecutive annual decline. The index, which measures the volume and severity of crime based on average prison sentences handed down for convictions, was 36 per cent lower in 2013 than a decade earlier. StatsCan says the traditional crime rate also declined last year compared with 2012 by eight per cent. The national crime rate has been on a downward slide since the early 1990s, reaching its lowest level last year since 1969. Canadian police services reported just over 1.8 million Criminal Code offences were committed in 2013, down approximately 132,000 from the previous year. Most offences were down, but there were increas-

STATSCAN REPORT es in the number of some offences reported, including extortion, identity theft, aggravated sexual assault, child pornography and sexual violations against children. Most provinces and territories recorded a decrease in the severity of crimes committed, except in the Yukon and Newfoundland and Labrador, where they saw slight increases. Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec and Manitoba recorded the largest declines among the provinces and territories. On a municipal scale, none of Canada’s census metropolitan areas recorded increases in crime severity. And Victoria saw the biggest decline compared with 2012, down by 17 per cent. The violent CSI fell 10 in 2013 compared with the previous year, says StatsCan, marking the seventh consecutive decrease. Police services reported approximately 384,000 violent incidents last year, down about 32,000 from 2012, mainly resulting from a drop in robberies.

Government criticized for leaving fracking chemicals off pollutant list BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Environmentalists and legal experts are criticizing the federal government’s decision to leave toxic fracking chemicals off a list of pollutants going into Canada’s air, land and water. “The government doesn’t know exactly which chemicals are being used for fracking and as a result doesn’t know the risk that may be posed by those chemicals,” Joseph Castrilli of the Canadian Environmental Law Association, an Ontario-based legalaid clinic for environmental issues, said Wednesday. “They’re dangerous and they’re extensively used across the country.” Earlier this month, Environment Canada posted an updated list of chemicals that come under the National Pollutant Release Inventory. That inventory lists the sources and amounts released of 363 harmful chemicals. Three environmental groups had asked the department to include fracking chemicals on that list. A recent U.S. report found 750 different chemicals are used in fracking, at least 29 of which are considered toxic or carcinogenic. And a study by the Canadian Council of Academies concluded that the silence around such additives is a major roadblock in understanding the environmental impact of fracking, which extracts otherwise inaccessible oil and gas by fracturing rocks with high-pressure injections of water and other compounds. “To assess any potential impacts and to design monitoring strategies, the exact chemical composition of the hydraulic fracturing additives, as well as toxicity assessments and persistence and mobility tests, are needed,” the study said. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, in public materials and in meetings with government, has supported disclosure of fracking chemicals. Alberta and British Columbia already require it — although they exempt substances considered trade secrets. Environment Canada ruled such chemicals aren’t used regularly enough or in large enough quantities to be inventoried. “The quantities of (inventoried) substances used at individual wells are unlikely to meet the existing reporting thresholds for individual substances,” say documents on Environment Canada’s website. The documents add that the inventory was never intended to be an exhaustive list of pollutants. “The (inventory) is a key tool for identifying and monitoring sources of pollution in Canada, but it does not provide information on all pollutants or every source of pollution.” Critics say Environment Canada’s response ignores possible cumulative effects. Nor does it consider that while fracking isn’t continuous at any one wellsite, that doesn’t mean releases aren’t continuous. “In all years, somebody’s fracking somewhere in the country,” Castrilli said. “We know many of (the chemicals) are toxic,” said Keith Stewart of Greenpeace. “There are grave concerns right across the continent about this getting into drinking water. This is a basic issue of public right to know.”

Bodies arrive in Holland BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pallbearers carry a coffin towards a hearse during a ceremony to mark the return of the first bodies, of passengers and crew killed in the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, from Ukraine at Eindhoven military air base, Netherlands. After being removed from the planes, the bodies were taken in a convoy of hearses to a military barracks in the central city of Hilversum, where forensic experts will begin the painstaking task of identifying the bodies and returning them to their loved ones. of hitting a jetliner at cruising altitude, rebel leader Alexander Borodai has said that separatist fighters do have Strela-10M ground-to-air missiles which are capable of hitting targets up to an altitude of 3,500 metres (11,500 feet). In fighting on the ground Wednesday, rebel leader Pavel Gubarev wrote on his Facebook page that his men retreated Wednesday from the villages of Chervona Zorya and Kozhevnya, on the Russian border about 45 kilometres (30 miles) from the scene of the crash. Gubarev said 30 rebels had been injured. Britain’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch said Wednesday that Dutch authorities had delivered the plane’s voice and data recorders to the agency’s base at Farnborough, southern England, where information will be downloaded. Experts will also check for signs of tampering. The Dutch Safety Board, which is leading an international team of

24 investigators, said unhindered access to the crash site was critical. Spokesman Tjibbe Joustra told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that around 25 investigators already are in Kyiv analyzing information including photos, satellite images and radar information, but have not yet gained access to the crash site.

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands — Two military transport planes carrying 40 coffins bearing victims of the downed Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 landed Wednesday in the southern city of Eindhoven, and pro-Russian rebels shot down two fighter jets in Ukraine’s restive east as fighting flared in the region. Six days after the Boeing 777 was shot down over the battlefields of eastern Ukraine, the first bodies finally arrived in the Netherlands, the country that bore the heaviest toll in the crash that killed all 298 passengers and crew. A Dutch Hercules C-130 that Dutch government spokesman Lodewijk Hekking said was carrying 16 coffins touched down first, closely followed by an Australian C-17 Globemaster plane carrying 24 coffins. British investigators began work on a pair of “black boxes” to retrieve data on the flight’s last minutes, while Dutch officials said they have taken charge of the stalled investigation of the airline disaster and pleaded for unhindered access to the wreckage. The Dutch and Australian military transport planes departed Ukraine at midday, and landed at Eindhoven Air Base where the flights were met by Dutch King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima, Prime Minister Mark Rutte and other government officials. Hundreds of relatives were also there, Hekking said. “If I have to wait five months for identification, I can do it,” said Silene Fredriksz-Hoogzand, whose son, Bryce, and his girlfriend Daisy Oehlers died in the crash. “Waiting while the bodies were in the field and in the train was a nightmare.” King Willem-Alexander clasped his wife’s hand as the couple grimly watched teams carry the coffins slowly from the planes to a fleet of waiting hearses. Almost the only sound was of boots marching across the ground and flags flapping in the wind. From the airport, they were to be driven under military police escort to the central city of Hilversum where forensic experts were waiting at a military barracks to carry out the painstaking task of identifying the remains. Rutte says many bodies could be identified quickly and returned to their loved ones, but some families may have to wait weeks for a positive identification. The bodies arrived back in the Netherlands — which is home to 193 of the victims — on a day of national mourning. Flags flew at half-staff on government buildings and family homes around this country of 17 million. Church bells rang out as the planes taxied to a standstill in Eindhoven. Ukraine and Western nations are pressing the pro-Russian rebels who control the crash site to allow an unfettered investigation, something Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would use his influence to achieve. Though confident that a missile brought down the passenger jet, U.S. officials say Russia’s role remains unclear. Ukraine’s defence ministry said two fighter planes were shot down about 30 kilometres (20 miles) south of the site of the Malaysia Airlines wreckage. The separatist group Donetsk People’s Republic said in a statement on its website that one of the pilots was killed and another was being sought by rebel fighters. While the insurgents deny having missiles capable

Dutch anger at treatment of bodies in Ukraine swells THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The families and friends of Dutch citizens blown out of the sky above Ukraine poured out their grief and anger Monday at a meeting with their monarch and political leaders. “This terrible disaster has left a deep wound in our society,” a sombre King Willem-Alexander said after meeting the next of kin at a private meeting. “The scar will be visible and tangible for years to come.” The Dutch have widely condemned the way the bodies of the victims have been treated in Ukraine and the fact they have not yet been returned home, four days after the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 killed 298 passengers and crew, including 193 Dutch citizens. In an unusual move that underscored the severity of the national trauma, the king gave a brief televised address to the country after meeting hundreds of grieving relatives and friends of the dead near the central city of Utrecht. “Many people said to us, ’We at least want to take dignified leave of our loved ones,”’ he said. “We understand their frustration and their pain. And we share their heartfelt wish for clarity on the cause of this disaster.” Speaking after the same meeting, Prime Minister Mark Rutte also acknowledged the nation’s discontent. “All of the Netherlands feels their anger,” Rutte said. “All of the Netherlands feels their deep grief. All of the Netherlands is standing with the next of kin.” Victor Jammers, policy director of the organization Victim Support Netherlands, also was in the meeting. He said relatives were angry at being kept in the dark. “The people I spoke to direct their anger of course to the Ukraine and to Russia, to give you an example, but there is also anger toward the Dutch government, because relatives wanted more information than they got in the past days,” he said. One of the questions many are asking is: Will the perpetrators face justice? Prosecutors in the Netherlands said they have begun a criminal investigation, though it remains unclear exactly where any suspects might face a court, if they can be tracked down. One relative who said she was going to the meeting was Silene Fredriksz-Hoogzand, whose son Bryce and his girlfriend Daisy Oehlers died on their way to a vacation in Bali. She expressed disbelief Sunday at how the bodies have been treated. “Bodies are just lying there for three days in the hot sun,” she told The Associated Press. “There are people who have this on their conscience. There are families who can never hold the body of a child or a mother.”

Looking to end the drought WEIR, DELAET LOOK TO END 60-YEAR ABSENCE OF HOME GROWN CANADIAN OPEN CHAMPION BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — It was 60 years ago that Pat Fletcher won the Canadian Open. No other Canadian has won the national open golf tournament since then, but that could change when the PGA Tour event returns this week to Royal Montreal, the tree-lined course that played host to the 2007 Presidents Cup. Mike Weir, Graham DeLaet and David Hearn are among the 19 homegrown players looking to end the losing run. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 60 years,” Weir said Wednesday after playing only nine holes of a rain soaked pro-am event. “We have more capable players in the field now and I think we’re going to see it going forward. “It’s going to end at some point, so hopefully, if not myself, it’s another Canadian that gets it done this week. It would be nice to get the streak over so we don’t have to talk about it any more.” Winning the Canadian Open has never been more accessible thanks to a less than desirable date — just after the British Open, which ended with Rory McIlroy’s impressive victory on Sunday at Royal Liverpool. Most top golfers don’t want to play the week after the British, although the Canadian Open helps those who do by laying on a charter flight to get them in early to readjust to the Eastern time zone. Only eight of the top 50 players on the Tour’s FedEx Cup standings are in the field, although they include third-

place Dustin Johnson and fourth-place Matt Kuchar. McIlroy is not there. Neither are 2000 Canadian Open champion Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson. But thanks to RBC’s sponsorship of Tour regulars — Kuchar, last year’s winner at Glen Abbey Brandt Snedeker, two-time champion Jim Furyk, Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Luke Donald and others — and the presence of nine past champions, there is at least a competitive field. For Weir, an eight-time Tour winner, winning at home would be a dream. “This is my 24th Canadian Open, so I’ve been at it a long time,” the 44-yearold Weir said. “But ever time you come back it’s special. “It was the first professional event I watched live as a kid. I still remember doing a junior clinic with Andy Bean and Tom Kite and being one of the kids on the range that got to walk up there and get close to those guys. That really spurred my interest in professional golf.” A strong showing would boost Weir’s chances of making the FedEx Cup playoffs. He is 128th with four weeks left in the playoff race and needs to get into the top 125. It is also a special event for Hunter Mahan. The American was the 36-hole leader of last year’s Canadian Open when he got the call that wife was about to give birth to their first child, a daughter. Mahan immediately withdrew to fly home to Dallas to attend the birth. Snedeker fired a 63 in the third round and held on to win.

With an independence referendum coming on Sept. 18, the issue of Scotland’s national identity is in sharp focus, and organizers made light of perceptions of the country with a self-deprecating start to the games opened by Queen Elizabeth II. There was singing on whiskey barrels, the giant rubber Loch Ness Monster and a giant haggis on the pitch during the rapid, often chaotic “Kingdom of the Scots” opening sequence. After rock star Rod Stewart performed at the home of his beloved football club, Scottish champion Celtic, there was a rendition of “Mull of Kintyre” from Susan Boyle, the church volunteer whose soaring voice turned her into an overnight reality TV star. But after the athletes from the 71 Commonwealth countries and territories completed their parade onto the pitch, the ceremony took on a sombre tone as the stadium fell silent to mark the Malaysian Airlines crash. Around a third of the 298 victims were from the Commonwealth. Malaysian athletes also donned black armbands to remember their 44 compatriots who died when the jet was shot down over

The games was officially opened by the Queen after Scottish cycling great Chris Foy handed over the baton which has travelled throughout the Commonwealth since starting a relay at Buckingham Palace last year. The 88-year-old monarch showed

her lighter side when Hoy and Prince Tunku Imran, president of the Commonwealth Games Federation, struggled to retrieve the message from the baton she left in it. When the note was finally recovered, the queen flashed a smile and held her arms out aloft before revealing its contents.

The Queen, who is facing the breakup of Britain if Scots vote in favour of independence, reminded the Commonwealth of “our shared ideals and ambitions as a diverse, resourceful and cohesive family.” “Together, you all play a part in strengthening our friendships in this modern and vibrant association of nations,” she added. The ceremony used the power of the Commonwealth to appeal to the philanthropy of its members by promoting UNICEF inside the stadium and on the global TV feed. The children’s charity raised more than $4 million in donations through text messages within an hour from U.K. text messages alone. Canada’s flag bearer Susan Nattrass, a seven-time world champion in trap shooting, waved the Maple Leaf as she marched, clad in a kilt, ahead of her teammates. The Canadians, wearing red and white jackets over red plaid pants, entered Celtic Park to Arcade Fire’s “Rebellion (Lies)” and a loud roar from the fans. Canada is fielding a team of 265 athletes — its largest team for a non-home Commonwealth Games — and it hopes to climb back onto the overall podium after finishing fourth at the Games four years ago in New Delhi, India. Chantal Petitclerc, former Paralympic star and Canada’s chef de mission at the Games, was one of six athletes who carried in the Commonwealth Games flag. The others were Kenyan runner Kip Keino, Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Scottish judoka Graeme Randall, Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe and Malaysian squash player Nicol David.

The Blue Bomber-Lions game may be another brush with reality for Winnipeg as the Bombers begin their slow descent into the basement. The 2-2 Lions found their mojo on offence last week against Montreal while 3-1 Winnipeg failed to find the end zone against the Eskimos. Bomber quarterback Drew Willy looked very nervous when he faced the Eskimo pressure defence last week and may have an early case of battered quarterback syndrome as a starter. Meanwhile, B.C. quarterback Kevin Glenn finally looked pretty comfortable and produced the best passing numbers by a large margin last week in the CFL. The Lions will win this game. What can I say about the 1-2 RedBlack and 0-3 Tiger Cat matchup? Two teams struggling for an identity, one of them winless and the other one new out of the box, meet at a temporary home because of a major new stadium delay for the winless team. I lean toward Ottawa in this game because former Cat quarterback Henry Burris will want to prove his dismissal after a 2013 Grey Cup appearance was a big mistake.

Hamilton tied a can to Hank has done little to dispel the Burris argument. Henry has not exactly shot out the lights as Ottawa’s starter, but Burris and his team of castoffs will be enough to beat Hamilton. The last game of the weekend is a rematch between the 1-3 Toronto Argonauts and 1-2 Saskatchewan Roughriders. Their last meeting a few weeks ago was a blowout win for the Argos, but I anticipate a Rider victory in this game. The Riders have been soft at linebacker and have relied heavily upon their front four to exert pressure on their opponents. The Rider pass game has been inconsistent and blame can be attached to streaky quarterback Darian Durant for overthrowing his receivers, as well as his targets for dropping easy catches. The shock of a poor start for the Riders should be enough to motivate them for their game against the Argos. Toronto will not have Rider killer Chad Owens available for this game and his absence will give the Riders enough of an edge to win the game. See you next week.

The 10-21 Red Deer Midget AAA Braves season may be over, but they’re still alive. They will be hosting a play-in tournament this weekend at Great Chief Park to decide the final two spots for tier I provincials in St. Albert over the August long weekend. The tournament will feature the bottom six teams in the 12-team NorWest Baseball League: No. 7 Edmonton Cardinals (12-18), No. 8 Fort McMurray Oil Giants (12-21), No. 9 Calgary Redbirds Black (10-20), No. 10 Red Deer, No. 11 Calgary Rockies (10-21), No. 12 Calgary Redbirds Red (2-25). The six teams will be broken down into two pools with a round-robin schedule on Saturday and a final playoff on Sunday. The four teams who do not advance out of the play-in tournament will finish the year with a tier II provincial tournament. The seeding could change with a few teams still with games remaining. The Braves were one of those teams, but decided to cancel Wednesday’s contest with the third place Sherwood Park Dukes (21-7) with the aim of saving their pitching staff after a

pound-for-pound star. UFC 178 is Sept. 27 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas. Cormier (15-0) is a former U.S. Olympic wrestler who excelled as a heavyweight before moving down to 205 pounds this year. He was scheduled for knee surgery in July, but put it off. Cormier already has a vocal public rivalry with Jones (20-1). Both fighters traded insults on social media immediately after the bout was announced. Gustafsson (16-2) injured his knee in training, the UFC says. He was scheduled to meet Jones in a rematch of their memorable 2013 bout in Toronto.

Wednesday’s Sports Transactions

busy last 10 days. The official tournament schedule will be released on Friday. Red Deer head coach Cam Moon is confident that they can emerge with one of the available spots. “All of the teams that are in this play-in tournament, we’ve beat all of them and they’ve all beat us,” he said. “If we show up on Saturday and pitch well and hit well and defend well, I really like our chances. If we don’t than I don’t.” The Braves got off to a dreadful start to the season but have played strong of late, including winning five of their last 10. They will likely be leaning on a trio of pitchers to carry them at the tournament — Dylan Borman, Ty Wagar and Michael Ozga — where the position will be all important. Red Deer’s biggest issue may be their offence, as their bats have been inconsistent of late. One big edge they will have is playing in their own ballpark, selected in large part due to Red Deer’s central location among the participating teams. “We’re very familiar here with Great Chief,” said Moon. “But we still have to come to play.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Sanchez perfect in debut as Blue Jays down Red Sox BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue jays 6 Red Sox 4 TORONTO — Aaron Sanchez didn’t know which Boston Red Sox hitters he’d be facing, and he didn’t know the score. Making his major league debut against Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz and Mike Napoli protecting a one-run lead, the Toronto Blue Jays’ top prospect just tried to pretend no one was in the batter’s box. “My mentality out there was just me and the catcher,” Sanchez said. With 35,696 fans watching, Sanchez did just about the best he could do, working two perfect innings to help preserve Toronto’s 6-4 victory over the Red Sox, Thursday at Rogers Centre. “To be in that kind of ball game, that’s what you dream of when you get to the big leagues,” the 22-year-old said. “Maybe not your first one, but I’m here to help the team win.” On his second day in the majors, Sanchez debated asking bullpen catcher Alex Andreopoulos who he’d be facing. Once he finally did, Andreopoulos told him it didn’t matter. Sanchez, considered one of the top young arms in baseball, used a mix of a fastball that topped out at 99 mph and an effective curveball to get Pedroia, Ortiz and Napoli to each fly out. Starter R.A. Dickey (8-10), who got the win by allowing four runs in six in-

nings, watched from the clubhouse and came away impressed with how Sanchez dealt with the pressure. “He’s coming in against the 2-3-4 hitters of the Boston Red Sox with a tworun lead as a 22-year-old young man,” Dickey said. “I thought he handled himself with great poise and hopefully that’s a microcosm of what he’s going to become.” When Jose Bautista added to his impressive night (2-for-4 with two RBI) with a solo homer in the bottom of the seventh, Sanchez did a little fist pump in the dugout knowing he had just a little more breathing room to work with. He didn’t need it. Sanchez caught Daniel Nava looking for his first major league strikeout, got Xander Bogaerts to ground out and struck out Stephen Drew to make it through his second inning perfect. Of his 25 pitches, 16 were strikes. “You see different guys over the years and young kids that come up, they can look a little rattled,” manager John Gibbons said. “I don’t know how you can do it any better than that. But he look like he belonged.” On the mound, Sanchez tried to calm his nerves, remembering what his triple-A debut was like. He managed to keep from thinking about the moment until after his outing was done. “I think at the end when Gibby told me that I was done and he gave me a big smile and he said, ’It’s OK to smile,’ I think that’s when kind of everything

The Blue Jays (53-49) are sure glad he did. Barring a complete game or close to it by Dickey, Gibbons knew Sanchez was going to pitch Wednesday night because of how beaten up the bullpen was. When Dickey gave up a three-run home run to Ortiz in the first before even recording an out, it looked like it could be a long night for the knuckleballer. Instead, the Blue Jays tied the score in the bottom of the inning and settled down. “The better thing was the way the team responded after falling behind 3-0,” Gibbons said. “That’s key. They throw up a goose egg there, the emo-

tions of the game, you don’t know where it goes from there. Of course we turn around and score, it evens things out again.” Dickey kept the Red Sox (47-54) off the board until Nava and Bogaerts hit back-to-back doubles in the fifth to make it 4-3. But in the sixth a triple by second baseman Ryan Goins tied it, and an error by Bogaerts at third on what would’ve been an inning-ending groundout by Reyes gave the Blue Jays the lead. That was the situation Sanchez faced, with his parents in attendance and major league career in front of him. Catcher Josh Thole said his fastball “felt like 130” after Dickey’s knuckleball, but the rookie did everything else like a seasoned veteran.

Reilly using legs to run Eskimos record to 4-0 EDMONTON QB WILL HAVE HANDS FULL AGAINST STINGY STAMPEDERS DEFENCE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Edmonton Eskimo quarterback Mike Reilly is 4-0. He’s also a promise breaker. The six-foot-three pivot, coming off a 4-14 season of scrambling for his life out of a collapsing pocket, promised at the start of this campaign that his days of leading the team in rushing were over. Four weeks later, the Eskimos are undefeated and sit atop the CFL west heading into Thursday’s clash of unbeatens against the 3-0 Calgary Stampeders. Reilly leads the Eskimos in rushing with 24 carries for 199 yards, good for sixth overall in the CFL. What about your promise Mike? “Hah!” he snorted after practice Wednesday. “I also said I want to win, too.” The numbers, he said, are misleading. “We’re not basing our offence around (my running). It’s just a reaction to what the defences are doing,” he said. “If they’re going to bring pressure on the edges and the middle is open, you’ve got to take advantage of it. If they’re going to drop everybody off and not account for the quarterback you’ve got to take advantage of it.” It’s not that Reilly isn’t getting help. Running back John White, after two starts, is just eights yard back (191 yards on 33 carries) and should soon overtake Reilly. The five-foot-eight sparkplug has also done what head coach Chris Jones has demanded above all of his running backs: throw blocks and stand up defenders to protect Reilly.

STORY FROM PAGE B1

OPEN: Breakout week “It’s one of those things you talk about with golfers, what if you were in the lead and you had to go home on Saturday or Sunday,” said Mahan. “It’s one of those crazy things you talk about and discuss with your family or your wife, but most of the time, it never happens. “It’s kind of neat that we have the video of it all happening and then the newspaper clippings and all that, so it will be a fun story to show her and tell her about how she entered the world.” Snekeder said he was on the seventh hole at Glen Abbey when he saw Mahan’s name come off the leader board. “I started putting two and two together,” he said. “I was playing a great round of golf. It was a fortunate break for myself. Hunter was playing great. He would have been a tough guy to catch over the weekend. “I did follow through and we made sure we sent a coupe of nice gifts to the Mahan’s for baby Zoe. It’s something we’ll probably both remember the rest of our lives.” Mahan said he was happy to be back in Canada, especially at Royal Montreal where he and Furyk were part of a U.S. squad that thrashed Weir and the International team. Returning Internationals include Els, Vijay Singh, K.J. Choi, Geoff Ogilvie and Stuart Appleby. The Bodog gambling site has Johnson, Furyk and Kuchar as the betting favourites at 12-1, with DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., as the eighth favourite at 25-1. DeLaet’s pro career may have been saved by a victory on the Canadian Tour in 2008 at St-Raphael, a short drive from Royal Montreal. Now he hopes to get a PGA Tour title in the same neck of the woods. “My game feels a lot closer (to top form) than it probably looks,” said DeLaet, currently 31st in FedEx Cup standings. “You always know deep down when you’re playing well, and hopefully I can just clean that up a little and this can be the breakout week.” Furyk, who won in 2006 and 2007, is coming off a 65 on Sunday to finish fourth in the British Open, but now has to play on a different continent and a very different course. While Royal Montreal is often called “traditional,” Furyk said that only fits the tees and the fairways. The recently redone greens he considers modern and could be a key factor once play begins. With heavy rain on Wednesday, the course will be soft and scores may be low. “What this golf course requires of you is the dead opposite of what you’d see in links golf,” said Furyk. “And the rain is going to spread the gap even farther.”

In Edmonton’s 26-3 win last week over Winnipeg, Reilly was a miracle worker, twice ducking out of sure sacks to scramble for big gains and keep drives alive. He credits some of that to bulking up in the offseason, adding 20 pounds to reach his current weight of 225. “I feel like my speed is the same. I feel like my strength is definitely higher,” said Reilly. “I feel like it’s harder for guys to tackle me. If they’re just going to stick an arm out it’s not going to bring me down as easily.” Last year, he ran 84 times for 709 yards to lead the Eskimos and finish fifth overall in league rushing. Much of that was out of desperation and the price was multiple shots, blindside shivers, sternum blows, and one particularly vicious battering ram helmet to helmet hit against Toronto that left him woozy. He’ll have his hands full against the Stampeders’ defence. Led by end Charleston Hughes and his three sacks, the defence has allowed just 30 points and one touchdown in three games. Hughes also leads the league in forced fumbles at three. The Stamps are allowing just 71 yards a game rushing, best in the league. In the momentum-changing giveaway-takeaway

category, Calgary is plus-four, good for second place but far behind Edmonton’s league leading plus-10. Edmonton’s defence has also been on a roll - literally and figuratively - having recorded a league-best 18 sacks, including five from defensive tackle Almondo Sewell. Sewell said he expects Thursday’s game will be a violent chess match with Edmonton’s stunting defence going against a physical yet tricky Calgary O-line. “They give you so many variations, like slide protection or whatever they do, you can never get a good guess on exactly what they’re doing,” said Sewell. Edmonton is second to Calgary, allowing just 14.5 points a game. Sewell has also started a team trend of celebrating quarterback takedowns with a somersault. “It (the tumbling) kind of caught on a little bit. We were trying to figure something to do as a team this year so we’re all doin’ it,” he said. Notes: The Stampeders have placed running back Jon Cornish on the six-game injury list. The CFL’s most outstanding player in 2013 is still recovering from a concussion sustained in the season opener when he was drilled in a flying clothesline tackle by Montreal’s Kyries Hebert.

Eight countries Playful Pole winks his way vie for world uphill to win 17th Tour stage supremacy in womenâ€™s golf at inaugural International Crown THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OWINGS MILLS, Md. â€” The inaugural International Crown is unique for what it isnâ€™t. Thirty-two elite players from eight countries will compete at Caves Valley Golf Club to determine which nation has the best womenâ€™s players in the world. Itâ€™s not about individual play. None of the eight teams has a captain, and unlike the Solheim Cup, this isnâ€™t just the United States versus Europe. â€œFor me, to be able to wear our Australian colours and play under the Australian flag is something thatâ€™s very special,â€? said Karrie Webb, whoâ€™s competing in her first professional team match-play event. The United States is the top seed at the LPGA Tour-sanctioned tournament that begins Thursday. â€œI think we would be bummed if we werenâ€™t No. 1,â€? said American Paula Creamer, a 10-time tour winner. Australia, South Korea, Japan, Sweden, Thailand, Spain and Taiwan also hope to raise the trophy after the final ball drops into the hole Sunday. Creamer and teammates Stacy Lewis, Cristie Kerr and Lexi Thompson have all played for the Solheim Cup. Although the format of this event isnâ€™t the same, the Americans will draw upon that experience. â€œItâ€™s got a little bit of a different feel, just having all the other countries and obviously a lot more players,â€? Lewis said. â€œBut itâ€™s cool. I think itâ€™s really great. Itâ€™s something we needed for a long time.â€? For the first three days, the teams will stay within their respective pools. Each country plays two bestball matches against every other nation in its pool. â€œGolf being such an individual sport, we donâ€™t get to play as a team very often,â€? Thompson said. â€œBeing part of a team, itâ€™s just such an amazing feeling. Hearing â€™USA!â€™ chants going up every green, itâ€™s the best experience.â€? The U.S. will open against Taiwan, and South Korea will face Australia in Pool A on Thursday. In Pool B, Japan faces Sweden, and Thailand takes on Spain. The teams shuffle foes until Sunday, when the top four teams and a wild card meet in a total of 10 singles matches. The country with the most points over the four days wins. â€œItâ€™s kind of a new experience for me because I canâ€™t play in the Solheim Cup,â€? Japanâ€™s Ai Miyazato said. â€œThis is an amazing feeling, representing my country. Seeing my country flag everywhere on this golf course gives me goose bumps.â€? Because there are no captains, each team determined its opening pairings by a meeting of the minds. â€œWeâ€™re all very indecisive,â€? Webb acknowledged. â€œI mean, it took us about 20 minutes to decide where we were going to dinner the other night. So no oneâ€™s really making any assertive calls out there.â€? The South Korean team ran business in similar fashion. â€œItâ€™s kind of sharing thoughts,â€? Inbee Park said. â€œI think itâ€™s better because everybody takes a part.â€? Park and her teammates are feeling the pressure to compete well, not only because South Korea wants to re-establish itself as a dominant force in womenâ€™s golf, but because it would be a boost to the countryâ€™s spirit.

NHL free-agent defenceman Cory Sarich injured in cycling accident; extent of injuries unclear BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER â€” Free-agent NHL defenceman Cory Sarich is recovering in a Calgary hospital after a cycling accident this week. His agent, Tim Hodgson, released a statement

Wednesday saying that Sarich was airlifted to the hospital after being hit by a motor vehicle in Invermere, British Columbia. The release said the extent of Sarichâ€™s injuries isnâ€™t known, but were not considered life-threatening. He remains in stable condition. The 35-year-old Sarich said itâ€™s been â€œa rough couple of days and Iâ€™m grateful for the support Iâ€™ve been receiving.â€? Thereâ€™s no timeline for his recovery. Sarich has spent a majority of his 15-year NHL career with the Calgary Flames and Tampa Bay Lightning. He suited up last season for Colorado, helping the Avalanche make the post-season for the first time since 2010.

Late goal gives Spurs win over Toronto FC in friendly

3 0 TH A N

NIVERSARY

7 YEAR WARRANTY

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO â€” Toronto FC fans got to see the man of the moment, England forward Jermain Defoe, wear the captainâ€™s armband against his old club, and perhaps a glimpse of the future in Canadian teenage striker Jordan Hamilton. It was the 18-year-old from Toronto who got on the scoreboard in a losing cause as Tottenham defeated Toronto 3-2 in a soccer friendly Wednesday on the strength of an 85th-minute goal by Andros Townsend. Andrew Wiedeman and Hamilton had scored second-half goals to pull the home side even before a sellout crowd of 22,591 on a warm evening at BMO Field. Lewis Holtby set the table for the Spurs winner, driving towards goal before finding Townsend who curled a shot past Quillan Roberts, another homegrown teenager. Argentine midfielder Erik Lamela scored twice for Tottenham in the first half before Toronto shot back in a far more competitive and entertaining second after the teams combined for 17 changes at the break. â€œIt was a different game,â€? Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said of the second half. It was only the second pre-season game for Tottenham, with Pochettino reminding his post-game audience that â€œfor me, itâ€™s another training session and itâ€™s game that was good for our supporters, to show our improvement.â€? In the first half, Toronto seemed to have one eye on its weekend league match with defending MLS champion Sporting Kansas City. Defoe got virtually no service from his teammates and found himself having to take up the role of playmaker to get something going. The England star was substituted at halftime, one of seven changes by manager Ryan Nelsen. Veteran Dwayne De Rosario took over as captain and told his crew that change was needed. â€œI just told the guys we didnâ€™t come here to spectate,â€? De Rosario said. â€œThis is our field, this is our home. We have to take it to them. I think we did that in the second half and we were able to put them under pressure and force them to cough up the balls where we could attack and counter-attack. We started to build confidence from that.â€?

manager at the TinkoffSaxo Bank team, Bjarne Riis. Once a national hero in Denmark after winning the 1996 Tour, he admitted to using bloodbooster EPO more than a decade later â€” and was vilified for it. He laid low for a while, but then returned to the pro cycling world. â€œI promised Bjarne today that I would win the stage,â€? said Majka. The echoes of doping resonated Wednesday on the grassy Pyrenean mountainside: The last times that Saint-LarySoulan hosted a Tour stage finishes were in 2001 and 2005 â€” won by Lance Armstrong and teammate George Hincapie. Those wins were later stripped because of doping.

Majka said, after tapping his chest, thrusting his arms skyward and shouting in joy at the victory. â€œFor me, when there are a lot of climbs, itâ€™s the best.â€? There was a time when seemingly effortless victories smacked of something more sinister at the Tour: the use of performance-enhancers. Few know the scars of cyclingâ€™s doping past more than Majkaâ€™s own

PLA Dâ€™ADET, France â€” On the last of four Pyrenees ascents, Rafal Majka winked at a French TV camera and tugged playfully at a motorcycleâ€™s antenna. Even this late in the Tour de France, the Polish rider made winning look easy as he took Stage 17 on Wednesday. For Vincenzo Nibali, the second ride in the mountains on Franceâ€™s border with Spain was more serious. â€œThe Sharkâ€? nibbled yet more seconds away from several of his closest challengers, and the yellow jersey that heâ€™s worn for all but two days of this race seemed to fit just a little more tightly ahead of Sundayâ€™s race finish in Paris. Nibali was even businesslike with his own prime minister, imploring him not to get too ahead of himself in celebration. â€œItâ€™s true that I received a text message from Matteo Renzi, who invited me to Chigi Palace to celebrate my victory,â€? said the cautious Sicilian of the premierâ€™s official residence. â€œI replied that only after winning â€” if I do so â€” Iâ€™ll be able to say that Iâ€™ll be present.â€? Wednesdayâ€™s 124.5-kilometre (77-mile) trek was the shortest stage in this yearâ€™s Tour. It covered three hard Category 1 ascents from SaintGaudens and a final push up to Pla dâ€™Adet ski station above the town of Saint-Lary-Soulan. Majka, who also won Stage 14 in the Alps, again showed heâ€™s the best climber in this Tour

Fishing the Jekyll-Hyde Fly down and across the Crowsnest River. Below: A big Crowsnest rainbow fell for the fly.

Stories about the Jekyll-Hyde Fly I was not aware that my fishing “stuff” in Old Farmer’s Almanac, Canadian Edition, also appears in the American Edition, and thus was unprepared for the inquiries about my heresy against always dead drifting artificial flies and in favour the “slow draw,” the “sudden inch,” ”the fast strip” and other moving fly fishing ploys. Mention it once and American readers want to know how to get and fish my JekyllHyde Fly. You can’t buy it: it is one of my few originals; you have to tie BOB your own, and SCAMMELL then learn how to fish it. The name comes from Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, about the good and evil persona within the same man. Alberta fly fishing guru and author, Jim McLennan, is a great fan of my Jekyll-Hyde Fly, and writes this about it: “One moment it’s a dignified and proper dry; the next a sinister and deceitful streamer.” Both sides of the dual personality of my floating streamer are the basis

OUTDOORS

for the design and manner of fishing my Jekyll-Hyde Fly, and the reason that it so frequently conjures up fishing magic, especially at the instant the personality changes. The only place I have encountered

the concept of a floating streamer fly is in old friend, the late Charlie Brooks’s first book, Larger Trout for the Western Fly Fisherman, where he describes tying and using a sort of Ozarks-type top-water bass bug made

with a long, stiff goose quill to hook a huge, wary and cannibalistic old brown trout in Yellowstone Park’s Firehole River.

STORY FROM PAGE B5

FLY: Get them chasing Then, in 1975, another old friend, the late and legendary Lloyd Shea of Edmonton, gave a seminar on his “slow draw” with his pipe-cleaner black beetle pattern, by catching a 24-inch brown trout with it at the tail of the Perkins Pool on my own home water. I showed Lloyd where the brown was, and he plopped his beetle neatly upstream into its bankside pocket and immediately started drawing it back downstream slightly faster than the current. The big trout lunged at and missed the fleeing fly and I could see him turning his head from side to Photos by BOB SCAMMELL/freelance side. Lloyd cast again, drew again, and the big brown Above: The Despickable — hot fly for a slow draw.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Five of the coolest station wagons ever Station wagons are officially and endangered species in North America. Richard Nixon was president when the last really cool one was built in America. A quick look at the cars on this list might make you re-think any preconceived notions that wagons were all “Mom Mobiles” for the pre-minivan generation. 1955-57 Chevrolet Nomad — The iconic TriFive Chevy, built from 1955-1957, was likely the

post-war high-water mark for Chevrolet. It came in myriad body styles and was available with the first version of Chevrolet’s legendary small-block V-8. The two-door Nomad wagon gives even the convertible a serious run for its money in the cool department. 1959 Pontiac Safari — The 1950s were littered with cool station wagons with over-the-top styling. Our vote goes for the ’59 Pontiac Safari.

That was the model year in which tail fins reached their absurd apex. The ’59 Safari actually had two sets of fins on the top and the bottom of the rear fenders, making it look like a Redstone ballistic missile – which was probably not an accident. 1964-65 Chevrolet Chevelle — Two-door wagons are very impractical to the point of defeating the purpose of having a wagon in the first place, but they look cool. We love the first-

generation Chevelle two-door wagon for its handy size, great looks and the fact that all of the performance parts from the two-door SS coupe will fit on the wagon, making it a great sleeper muscle car.

This list might make you re-think any preconceived notions that wagons were all “Mom Mobiles” for the pre-minivan generation.

‘‘

1968-72 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser — The Vista Cruiser and the Ford Country Squire are the cars that immediately come to mind when Rob Sass referring to the “back backseat,” and it was probably in one of these wagons where the classic slow-burn phrase “Don’t make me come back there” was first uttered by an agitated father. The Olds gets the nod in terms of cool, simply because we love the glass roof and GM’s spot-on styling work.

’’

1971-73 Volvo 1800ES — Volvo of the 1960s and ‘70s wasn’t exactly a company synonymous with high style. Frumpy but practical 544s, Amazons and brick-like 240s were the stereotypical Volvos of the day. But the P1800 coupe was gorgeous, and for a few brief model years it was available as a very pretty twodoor sports wagon. Nicknamed “Cinderella’s Coffin” by some for their long, flat roof lines and generous glass, these wagons are among the few truly collectible Volvos — and they run virtually forever.

Raising cash for charity and turning heads along the way The Supercar: It’s something anyone of any age can appreciate. The design. The engineering. The way the engine and exhaust purrs – or roars – when you push on the throttle. They are the culmination of the workmanship of talented individuals who dedicate their lives to crafting components that are then distributed globally. Now put more than 100 of these machines together (111 to be exact) and the appreciation factor goes up 110-fold. To some, Supercars are a gaudy form transportation. An arrogant display of wealth. To others, works of art. But to the group who participated in the second annual Diamond Rally, it’s more than just a showcase of imported engineering or customization. It’s about a great cause. It’s for charity. I’m not going out on a limb when I say that car enthusiasts love to see amazing cars, regardless of context. What’s more, it’s even cooler when a group of them travel together up one of the most incredible drives in the world: the Sea-to-Sky Highway. What started off last year with 42 cars quickly grew to three digits. Each entering car chose a charity to raise funds for. As the day was ramping up, the Brian Jessel BMW dealership in Vancouver was overrun with vehicles ranging from a 1957 Ford Thunderbird (it was quite the car back in the day, and still is) to the Lamborghini Aventador. Along with Nissan GT-Rs, Maseratis, Porsches, Ferraris, and more. Even the brand new BMW i8, which had yet to be driven on Canadian soil, broke ground and was the lead car in the day’s event. The route would take us along the spectacular Sea-to-Sky highway, with a stop in Squamish and then the main rendezvous in Whistler. Fellow motorists were pleasantly surprised when they spotted the exotics driving beside them on the world famous road. My ride? – The humble, all new, BMW M4. I say humble because I had nowhere near as much

horsepower (this only generates 425) as some, or most, of my fellow drivers. But what I did have was the “wow” factor. Clad in an extremely eye-catching Austin Yellow Metallic coat, she was quite the sight to see. What made it even more special? It’s a 6-speed manual. Unsuspecting admirers didn’t catch me overhearing their conversations including, “Dude, this one’s a stick. Awesome.” Yes, some people actually talk like that. Though it may not have garnered nearly as much attention as some of my fellow rallyers, it still brought smiles to people’s faces. That’s what I think the event is all about. So did the drive route. Craig Stowe, Founder of the Diamond Rally and Canada’s own Luxury & Supercar Weekend mentions, “There is a new breed of supercar owners who are rallying together to individually

raise awareness and money for the charity of their choice.” He also comments that Vancouver is supercar crazy, and that there are more luxury and supercars per capita then any other city in North America . “There is nothing like 111 spectacular cars rallying up the 99 highway to bring awareness to many worthy charities.

Photos by RENEE FRANCOEUR/Advocate staff Larissa Blokhuis’ “Urchin Light Box” pictured above, is a part of her GlassEarth exhibit, a reflection on the human connection to the natural world and the division development causes in the connection. It is on display at the Kiwanis Gallery in Red Deer until Aug. 24.

The hanging blown glass works are part of Blokhuis “Deep Sea Creatures” series. At right, a work called Billow.

GLASSEARTH EXHIBIT AT KIWANIS GALLERY BY RENÉE FRANCOEUR ADVOCATE STAFF Suspended sea creatures with spiralling tentacles. Neon orange, twisting trees. Moss-like organisms huddled around old metal contraptions under a thick globe. They have various, thought-provoking labels: Unearth, Aerial Embrace, Nudibranchs, Trap and Anemone and are all made of glass. Handblown and crafted by artist Larissa Blokhuis, these pieces make up the exhibit GlassEarth, currently on display at the Kiwanis Gallery at the downtown branch of the Red Deer Public Library. Blokhuis, who divides her time between Vancouver and Calgary, said the body of work is about how flora and fauna are parallel with the human experience and at times the same. GlassEarth is an imagining of what the world would look like if it becomes as hot as it has been in the pre-historic past, she said. “There’s a certain amount of negativity in the art world about the future of where our society is going and there’s this idea that humans are creating a situation where humans are not going to be able to survive on the planet anymore with pollution and all the environmental destruction,” said Blokhuis, 27. “This is a way of reclaiming some positivity and saying that evolution is continuing and things will change and maybe the planet won’t be

recognizable in 200 years but that it can repair itself and ... we’ll see new creatures and new interspecies relationships happening.” She hopes the exhibit encourages people to participate in that instead of trying to dominate the situation. Her piece, Cozy, has been popular with the public, she said. With green, people-like glass figures atop three bases similar to mushrooms, Cozy reminded one viewer at the show opening in Red Deer in June of “a house party where you can hop from room to room to know what’s going on,” said Blokhuis. “I thought that was an interesting take. I like to hear people’s interpretations because it’s usually not what I was thinking of and makes me see it in a different way and potentially add to it next time I’m working.” Blokhuis, who started glassblowing at 16 during a summer program at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, took a new approach to this exhibit, incorporating a number of different materials, such as wool, wire, wood, concrete and ceramics. “I’ve had a lot of comments about the wool and glass combo particularly. People seem to really like that,” she said of the wispy effect the coloured wool creates behind different shapes of glass. “I kind of stagnated a bit after leaving the art school environment and became really focused on being a good glassblower and I forgot that I’m not a glassblower, I’m an artist who blows glass.”

“Cozy” is another work in Larissa Blokhuis GlassEarth exhibit . She attended a course at Pilchuck Glass School in Washington state in 2011 which “put her in a different head space” and reinforced the idea that she could do anything she wanted with her art. It changed the way she created art and now she sees beyond blowpipes and furnaces and finds inspiration everywhere, she said. “My ideas come from taking in

information. I tend to think in a very linear, right angles type of way. I watch a lot of news and documentaries. ... I’m always looking at what is happening around me and what can I make that will either fit in with it or contradict it for what I need to say or what will motivate people to act.” Blokhuis grew up in Calgary but took a summer art course at Red Deer College in 2007 and returned to the city in 2012 to work as a teaching assistant for internationally known glass artist Jeff Holmwood. Blokhuis’s next show will be at the Spruce Grove Art Gallery in Spruce Grove, titled Western Connections. In 2015 she will also be showing her work in an Edmonton exhibit called Discover at the McMullen Gallery. GlassEarth runs in Red Deer until Aug. 24.

Man sentenced for role in home invasion BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A lengthy court process after a guilty plea earlier this year has landed one person in jail for almost two years. Jordan Pritchard, 27, of Red Deer was sentenced to two years less a day in Red Deer provincial court on Friday before Judge Ken Rostad. Pritchard pleaded guilty to break and enter with intent to aid and abet an indictable offence, which was his role in a May 14, 2013, home invasion. Earlier this year, there was some confusion over his role and relationship with the occupant of the Park Avenue residence that was the target of

the robbery. He pleaded guilty to helping two other people rob a drug dealer on Feb. 14. However, questions were raised over his involvement in the incident after his testimony at the trial of David James Kertesz, 28, of Red Deer. Pritchard changed lawyers before cementing his guilty plea and being sentenced. Pritchard was high on cocaine and looking for more when the incident occurred. He, Kertesz and allegedly a third man who is awaiting trial, went to Pritchard’s dealer. Pritchard was under the assumption they were going to buy more drugs. However, the two men hid in the shadows as Pritchard banged on the

duced to 24 months, less a day. Pritchard was also given a lifetime firearms prohibition. Kertesz was found guilty of robbery, using an imitation firearm to commit a robbery, kidnapping, forcible confinement, break and enter and extortion in a Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench trial in March. He is scheduled for sentencing on Sept. 8. Garnet Colby McInnes, 23, of Red Deer is awaiting a series of trials in Red Deer starting later this year for his alleged role in the incident. He has been charged with robbery, dangerous driving, assault, kidnapping, unlawful confinement, extortion and several weapons offences. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

The scholarship was established to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martha Kostuch, a founding member of PAMZ and an environmental advocate. Some past scholarship winners include Colby Morris of Sundre, who is student environmental science at the University of Lethbridge; Ashleigh Duffy of Lacombe, who was accepted to the University of British Columbia in freshwater science; and Sarah Wutzke of Rocky Mountain House, who is taking the assessment and restoration diploma program at Medicine Hat College. Any recent high school graduate in the PAMZ area is eligible. PAMZ stretches from the Rockies in the west to Three Hills in the east, Rimbey and Ponoka in the north and Crossfield to the south. Applications can be submitted electronically to sue@pamz.org or by mail to P.O. Box 10200, Sundre, Alberta, T0M 1X0. The deadline for applications is Aug. 15.

Accused in groping incidents released A man accused of groping women at a variety of public places in Red Deer has been released from custody. Blaise Kambu-Ndengi, 21, was arrested on July 7 by police called to the Port O’Call Safeway at about 10 p.m. to investigate reports that store staff and members of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team were holding a suspect. Police allege that the woman had confronted the man inside the store, accusing him of an inappropriate touch, and staff had come to her aid as the man attempted to flee. They were joined outside by two ALERT members. Following additional investigations, KambuNdengi was charged with five counts of sexual assault and a single count of possession of stolen property worth more than $5,000. Represented by duty counsel Mark Daoust, Kambu-Ndengi was released on $5,000 bail with no deposit and additional conditions, including a curfew of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. He is due back in court on Aug. 20 to enter his plea.

When the dealer opened the door, the two men emerged from the shadows and pointed firearms at the dealer, one armed with a sawed-off rifle and the other with a handgun. All they got was $83, a laptop and a cellphone. Pritchard was the last to leave the residence. Not wanting to get involved anymore, Pritchard ditched the gun he had been given and fled the scene himself. Pritchard has been in custody since his arrest in May 2013. The total sentence given to him by Rostad was 45 months, but because of his pre-sentence custody, the sentence was re-

Bail denied for Sylvan Lake man BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Bail has been denied for a man arrested on new charges in Sylvan Lake after being released on charges from an earlier incident in Red Deer. Sylvan Lake RCMP report that a suspect was arrested on the morning of July 4 by officers investigating complaints that a vehicle had been stolen and that goods had been lifted from other vehicles parked in the same neighbourhood. Sylvan Lake RCMP allege locating a suspect in a stolen vehicle at a gas station and that a search of the vehicle produced goods taken from the other vehicles as well as a small quantity of cocaine and heroin. The suspect was transported to hospital in Red Deer with a medical complaint and was apprehended again after allegedly attempting to escape a police officer who had attended with him. William Clayton Bradshaw, 28, had a bail hearing in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday, appearing via closed-circuit TV from the Red Deer Remand Centre and represented by Ponoka-based defence counsel Craig Paterson. Bradshaw faces four counts of possessing stolen property, two counts of possessing illegal drugs and one count each of obstructing police and attempting to escape lawful custody. Earlier this year, police had issued a warrant for Bradshaw’s arrest after an incident in Red Deer dur-

ing which a police officer was injured and two police vehicles were rammed. In a news release issued on April 1, police allege that a local man had found his stolen vehicle with a suspect inside of it, parked behind a convenience store on 38th Avenue and 50th Street at about on March 31. Red Deer RCMP members responding to the scene attempted to use two of their own vehicles to block the suspect vehicle. The suspect escaped by ramming the police vehicles. Police allege that he drove over one officer’s foot and struck another vehicle before speeding off. The vehicle was recovered in Oriole Park about 1:30 a.m. the next day. Bradshaw was arrested on April 13 on charges including assaulting a police officer, mischief, obstructing or resisting police, flight from police, leaving the scene of a collision, dangerous driving and possession of stolen property. He was also issued traffic tickets on charges of driving without a licence and driving without insurance. A preliminary hearing on the Red Deer charges has been scheduled for Feb. 15, 2015. Preliminary hearings may be requested to test the strength of the Crown’s case before proceeding to trial. Bradshaw returns to court on July 28 to enter a plea on the Sylvan Lake charges. Both men were expected in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday to enter pleas on the charges facing them. Kabange was represented by a Red Deer lawyer acting on behalf of his defence counsel, who is based in Edmonton. A warrant for Nzikou’s arrest was issued when he failed to show up for court. Kabange has reserved his plea and is scheduled to return to court on Aug. 6.

Calling all fans! 45TH COMIC-CON POP-CULTURE FESTIVAL TAKES OVER DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN DIEGO — Like Batman responding to a beaming Bat signal in the sky, fans are streaming to San Diego for the 45th annual Comic-Con pop culture extravaganza. The four-day festival celebrating film, TV, video games, comic books, costumes and other popular arts kicks off with a preview Wednesday night and goes full force Thursday at the San Diego Convention Center. More than 150,000 fans are expected to attend the sold-out event, where studios will offer exclusive previews of their latest properties. Television is making a bigger splash than in previous years, with several shows diving into the 6,500-seat exhibition hall that’s traditionally been movies’ main home at the convention centre. “This is the year that we’ll see as much TV (as film), especially in Hall H,” said Matt Atchity, editor-in-chief of RottenTomatoes.com, which aggregates film and television reviews. Here’s a peek at some of the most anticipated presentations: FILM: Marvel Studios hasn’t revealed any specifics about its panel, but a look at Ant-Man and the next Avengers installment seem likely. Paramount is bringing its live-action take on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, starring Megan Fox and Will Arnett. Warner Bros. will feature The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and its reboot of Mad Max. Fox is introducing a spate of films, including the animated Book of Life starring Channing Tatum. A few others: Focus Features’ animated The Boxtrolls; the sequel to Frank Miller’s Sin City; Daniel Radcliffe’s first Comic-Con appearance for the upcoming Horns; and the annual appearance by festival stalwart Kevin Smith. TV: Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead will each take over ComicCon’s largest hall for panels with cast members and creators. Joel McHale and other stars of Community will discuss the future of the comedy after its move to Yahoo. Guillermo del Toro plans to present his creepy new FX series, The Strain.

ister Six spinoff in 2016, pushing The Amazing Spider-Man 3 to 2018, Sony’s Columbia Pictures said Wednesday in announcing an updated schedule. By ordering Sinister Six ahead of the next Spider-Man movie, the studio hopes to expand the franchise with the group of Marvel super-villains. Released in May, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 accumulated $706 million worldwide and only just surpassing $200 million domestically. That was considered a disappointing result, since it failed to top its 2012 predecessor, which made $758 million. It was also less than all of the box-office hauls

for Sam Raimi’s trilogy. Sinister Six, to be directed by Drew Goddard, is one of two spinoffs planned for the Spider-Man universe. No date has been set for the other offshoot in development, Venom.

SOMETHING TO CHEW ON

Effective ways to beat diabetes Standard diabetes prevention advice (lose weight, exercise, eat better) is not getting through to — or even worse, is letting down — millions of North Americas! The proof is in shocking new statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: 29 million Americans now have Type 2 diabetes, and 86 million more have prediabetes, a 10 per MIKE ROIZEN cent jump in just two years. That means more than one in every 11 Americans has Type 2 diabetes and is at increased risk for heart attack, strokes, vision loss, nerve damage, kidney failure, even amputation of toes, feet or legs, along with higher odds for depression, dental trouble, pregnancy complications and high vulnerability to the flu and pneumonia. The one in three Americans with prediabetes face huge health risks, too: Having elevated blood sugar levels at all ups the chance for a heart attack or stroke, cognitive problems, depression and sexual problems. Plus, within three years, 15 per cent to 30 per cent of people with prediabetes will develop full-blown Type 2. In the 1970s, about four million Americans had Type 2 diabetes. While the number of those with Type 1 diabetes (caused by an autoimmune attack that stops the body’s production of insulin) has grown slightly, the prevalence of Type 2 — caused by inactivity, being overweight, unhealthy food choices and perhaps a genetic predisposition — has soared. You can turn this epidemic around by taking steps that will make your diabetes-stopping habits stick. Here are four “betcha didn’t think of these” obstacles that may be what’s keeping you from effectively applying the standard advice of “move more, eat better, lose weight.” ● Stress pumps up blood sugar. Learn to chill. Stress increases your blood sugar by switching on your body’s “fight or flight” response and by making you reach for foods that widen your waistline (a diabetes risk) and mute your body’s ability to use blood sugar. You can tame tension by getting plenty of sleep, learning a relaxation tech-

nique that works for you (deep breathing, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation) and making time for friends and family. ● Overcrowded days make healthy choices difficult. Do what you can. Discouraged because you can’t fit in a half-hour walk today? Don’t be. Grab a 10-minute walk at lunchtime. No time to meditate & MEHMET OZ before you rush off to a morning meeting? Use that 15-minute wait before your boss shows up to do a short, relaxing breathing exercise. Gotta feed the family fast before another hectic evening of activities and homework? Hit the supermarket salad bar instead of the fast-food drivethrough. ● Unhealthy food choices follow you through your day. Make over your whole food environment. Start at home by banishing the Five Food Felons — trans and saturated fats, added sugars and syrups and refined grains. Replace those villains (all of which mess with healthy blood sugar levels) with 100 per cent whole grains; good fats found in nuts, avocados and olive and canola oils; fruit; vegetables, especially leafy greens; and salmon or ocean trout. These good foods contain fibre, mono- and polyunsaturated fats, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that help regulate blood sugar and reduce the bodywide damage that diabetes and prediabetes can wreak. Don’t stop there. Pack healthy lunches for yourself and your kids. And keep healthy snacks on hand at work and in the car. We love baby carrots, a handful of nuts or a juicy piece of sun-ripened fruit, along with water or herbal tea. Don’t go it alone! Working with a diet and/or exercise buddy is a proven to help you get better results. Sign up for diabetes education classes in your community. Got prediabetes? Check out the diabetes prevention programs offered by hospitals and health centres.

Taking HIV medicine to prevent infection shows more promise BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS There is more good news about HIV treatment pills used to prevent infection in people at high risk of getting the AIDS virus: Follow-up from a landmark study that proved the drug works now shows that it does not encourage risky sex and is effective even if people skip some doses. The research was discussed Tuesday at the International AIDS Conference in Melbourne, Australia, and was published by the British journal Lancet Infectious Diseases. It involves 1,600 gay men and transgender women who took part in the original study showing that daily use of the drug Truvada (true-VAH’-duh) lowered the risk of getting HIV. After the study ended, they were offered the chance to keep getting the pills for free, and three-quarters of them agreed. All were studied for another 17 months. None who took the pills at least four days a week became infected. Even use two or three days a week lowered the risk of infection compared to taking the pills less often or not at all. Researchers could tell

how often the drug was taken because they measured it in blood samples. “We’re encouraged,” said study leader Dr. Robert Grant, an AIDS expert at the Gladstone Institutes, a foundation affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco. “There’s a demand, there’s some forgiveness for missed doses. And it’s safe.” Mitchell Warren, who heads a nonprofit group that works on HIV prevention research, said in an email from Melbourne that “the story is now clear” that this approach “is real, it works, and it should be made available to people at risk now as part of highimpact combination prevention.” Condoms remain the best way to prevent HIV infection but not everyone uses them all the time, so health officials recommend other options for certain groups, such as gay men. Some health officials had worried that taking Truvada might give a false sense of security and make men less likely to use condoms or to limit their partners. However, study participants reported no increase in these behaviours, and there was no rise in syphilis or herpes, other sexually spread diseases that might suggest risk-taking.

If you are constantly in need of antacids after meals and feel you experience boating and gassiness, bifodobacterium intantis showed a 20 per cent reduction in these symptoms in a double blind study, including symptoms for those with irritable bowel syndrome. Look for one around the one billion cfu mark and take as directed to decrease inflammation in the gut lining. And for those who would like to reduce inflammation, speed up metabolism and reduce belly fat by inhibiting the gene that helps with fat production and retention, lactobacillus gasseri is the probiotic for you. It is also shown to decrease overall body mass index when taken regularly. You want to look for a high potency probiotic, something around the 20 to 30 billion units per capsule. And don’t be too concerned whether it requires refrigeration or not. There are good sources of both. The key is to watch out for the best before date and high manufacturing

standards. They do lose their potency with time so it’s important to go with fresh. Purchase from a reputable health food store. Be sure to ease into your supplementation regiment. Take about half the recommended dose for a couple of weeks to ease your body into the full dose. And remember, an even better source of probiotics is fermented foods. Fermented vegetables like kimchi or beverages like kombucha are two excellent sources, as well as kefir. If these foods are unfamiliar to you and you would like to learn more check out www.somethingtochewon.ca for an upcoming free teleseminar on fermented foods and a recipe for fermented cashew cheese.

Integrative medicine: when two medical worlds collide MEDICAL AND NATUROPATHIC DOCTORS LOOKING TO LEARN MORE It is a normal Monday morning as I walk into my office and prepare for my day of patients, with the exception that I have a resident spending the week with me. It is not uncommon to have a resident or student preceptor through my clinic, as this is a regular requirement of medical programs. I always look forward to the experience because student and resident shadowing always leads to great discussions and learning experiences for both the doctor and student. With a keen resident by my side, we start our Monday off taking clinical histories of paSHANE tients, performJOHNSON ing physical exams and talking NATUROPATHIC about the posMEDICINE sible diagnoses that the patient may have, as well as the proper labs required to get the answers we need. The only thing different about today is that the naturopathic medical treatments I am offering to the patients are very atypical for this resident; as most of them she has never even heard of prior to today. The reason for this? She is a medical doctor (MD), currently completing her residency program. Yes, an MD resident spending time in a naturopathic doctor’s (ND) office. So, why would an MD and ND agree to this? Purely for the desire to learn more, to understand each other’s medicine and methodologies, and to better ourselves as doctors. Although there are many differences, as well as similarities, that exist between the two medical fields, they both covet the same founding principle in wanting to improve and benefit patient care.

In this case, we quickly found ourselves speaking the same language on a science and medical basis but taking different approaches to treatment. Furthermore, we were both seeking out the same type of improvement in patients, but would normally take alternate routes to get to the end point. This type of problem-based learning and medical integration excited me. We were sharing knowledge, discussing how we would approach patients differently, and at times the exact same way. We challenged each other on treatments and how they would be the best fit for the patient, even discussing our health-care system and how our professions fit into the “big picture.” There was a mutual respect for one another, which is the key in building a rapport between NDs and MDs. The experience was mutually-beneficial for both the resident and I. Moving forward from this enlightening experience, my hope is that one day both medical doctors and naturopathic doctors can work side by side with one another in Canada, which is becoming more commonplace in the United States. Both professions have their strengths and weaknesses; if we combine our approaches together, we can provide many resources for patients to help reach optimum health. As a naturopathic doctor who understands the importance of integrating both sides of medicine, we must continue to keep the line of communication open and work towards the best possible health care for patients. Dr. Shane Johnson ND was born and raised in Red Deer and is the owner of Aspire Natural Medicine. He completed his naturopathic medical training at Bastyr University, and is among only a handful of naturopathic doctors in Alberta to complete an additional one-year residency in family medicine.

Woman fed up with in-laws Dear Annie: I have been married to “Sherman” for 10 years. It’s a second marriage for both of us, and together, we have five children. The problem is my in-laws. They are nice people and would do anything for us. However, I think they are jealous that I MITCHELL have a good relationship with & SUGAR my grandchild, while they don’t get to see theirs that often. My daughter-in-law works full time and goes to school at night. Why shouldn’t I help her out? But whenever I babysit, either my in-laws or my husband makes some snarky remark. They also seem to think our yard belongs to them. They plant bushes on my lawn because “they were on sale.” And Sherman will automatically defend his mother if I stand up for myself. He never does this for me.

ANNIE ANNIE

I have started to distance myself from my in-laws, and I resent Sherman’s defence of his mother when she says something unkind. I have asked him to go for counselling, but he says, “I don’t have a problem.” Any suggestions? — Fed Up Dear Fed Up: Your problem is Sherman. When he doesn’t defend you to his parents, they think it is perfectly OK to continue making unkind remarks and overstepping boundaries. He is perfectly content to leave things as they are. But he does have a problem: His marriage is in trouble. If Sherman refuses to go for counselling, please go without him. Learn what you are willing to tolerate, whether you can effect change with your in-laws and how to communicate your needs more clearly. Dear Annie: Please help make young women aware of uterine cancer. My 29-year-old daughter was diagnosed with stage-four uterine cancer last September.

After several years, several physicians and several medications, she finally saw an ob/gyn at the University of Louisville who did a biopsy of her uterus — and then we received the devastating news. She was treated aggressively and is fighting every day to get better. She is such an inspiration. She had surgery several months ago, and they removed all the cancer in her abdominal cavity. But she still has it in two inoperable lymph nodes in her chest and is taking chemo.

Uterine cancer (also known as endometrial cancer) is most common in women over 55-years-old, so doctors don’t often consider this when they first see a younger patient with symptoms. But if you believe something is wrong, be persistent. Doctors aren’t

infallible. Risk factors include endometrial overgrowth (hyperplasia), obesity, women who have never had children, periods beginning before age 12, menopause after age 55, estrogen therapy and a family history of the disease. Common signs are abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, pain with urination and sex, and pelvic pains. The National Cancer Institute (1-800-4-CANCER) offers a free booklet at cancer.gov.

SUMMIT UP!

Agriculture and Food Council to take new approach to AGM BY ADVOCATE STAFF The Agriculture & Food Council of Alberta is putting an innovative twist on its 2014 annual general meeting. The non-profit organization, whose members come from the agriculture and food industry, is holding a Sept. 24 and 25 event in Olds. Entitled Summit Up!, it will focus on four themes: local living economies, advancing innovation, enterprising non-profits, and leading collaboratively. Bryanna Kumpula, the council’s executive director, said the organization’s AGMs have typically taken place over one day and featured a speaker. This year, organizers want to encourage participants to interact and learn. “What our members have said to us is that they really appreciate the opportunity to talk to other people within the industry, make connections and network, and also talk about what’s working and what’s not working.” Not only will participants at Summit Up! have the opportunity to attend sessions on each of the themes, there will be a variety of other activities. These include a run/walk through wetlands, morning yoga and a tour of Innisfail Growers. “So there are all kinds of interactive, different elements that you wouldn’t typically see,” said Kumpula. There will be an informal networking opportunity the evening of the Sept. 23, and a kick-off dinner the following day to celebrate the council’s 20th anniversary. That will include a tour of the Olds College brewery. Summit Up! will take place at the Pomeroy Inn & Suites at the Olds College campus and is open to everyone. Additional details, including registration information, can be found online at www.agfoodcouncil.com (click on Summit Up!) or by contacting the council at 1-855-469-3714 or info@agfoodcouncil.com. Early bird registration rates are available until Aug. 24. The Agriculture & Food Council of Alberta works to promote growth, sustainability, competitiveness and profitability in the agriculture and food industry.

Oliver rejects report calling for spending to create jobs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Finance Minister Joe Oliver is rejecting a recommendation from a report issued by the C.D. Howe Institute that he focus more on creating jobs than eliminating a tiny deficit. The report by McMaster University economics professor William Scarth argues that keeping the deficit at 0.5 per cent of GDP for the next three years could lower the unemployment rate by 0.4 per cent, or create the equivalent of 75,000 additional jobs. The recent slowdown in economic growth and job creation has put the government under increased pressure to become more active on stimulating growth. Earlier this month, the Ontario government announced a budget that would spend more on infrastructure while running a $12.5-billion deficit. In a statement, Oliver said job creation can be accomplished without creating deficits during times of economic recovery. “Our government will not open the taps on reckless spending. We will not go down that well-trod and irresponsible path to economic decline,” he said. But NDP finance critic Nathan Cullen said the minister is ignoring evidence the economy is headed in the wrong direction. In the past year, Canada has created only 72,000 jobs, all of them in Alberta. “Balancing the budget is a political imperative not an economic one,” he said. “It’s like balancing the family budget and not feeding the kids.” In a commentary earlier in the week, Liberal deputy leader Ralph Goodale said the Harper government was in “denial” about the jobs picture in Canada all so it “can concoct a surplus on the eve of an election.” Eliminating the deficit in 2015 is critical for the federal Conservatives heading into a fall election that year because, in 2011, Harper promised to cut personal taxes by about $2.5 billion through a form of income splitting once the budget was balanced.

The report argues that maintaining a deficit in the $10 billion range, where most believe it currently stands, would pose no economic or fiscal problems for Ottawa, which already has by far the lowest debtto-GDP ratio among the G7 countries. Longer term, it would mean missing the stated 2021 target of reducing the national debt-to-GDP to 25 per cent by only a single percentage point. “A government that emphasizes its commitment to protect the interests of working Canadians should not reject this opportunity to lower unemployment when it can be achieved without a serious trade-off,” Scarth states. The recommendation that Ottawa should delay its efforts to balance the budget and spend on infrastructure to create jobs has been advocated by leftwing economists, but Scarth’s report is not so easily pigeon-holed. Scarth is critical of the Ontario Liberal’s recent budget given the province’s burdensome debt and on efficiency grounds. The paper argues that sub-national governments like provinces don’t have the same ability to stimulate the economy through spending, partly because of spillage to other provinces and partly because their actions don’t directly impact the country’s trade. C.D. Howe economist Finn Poschmann says that is why stimulus spending in countries like Greece, which have no control over the value of the euro, tend not to work, or not work optimally. Former Bank of Canada governor David Dodge also recently came out in favour of increased spending on infrastructure, particularly at this point in the business cycle when borrowing costs are at historically low levels. “It is thus important to realize that in the current environment of low long-term interest rates, fiscal prudence does not require bringing the annual budget balance to zero almost immediately,” he wrote in a paper for the Bennett Jones law firm. The report estimates a 1.5 per cent multiplier effect from carrying a $10-billion deficit — in essence spending $10 billion more than planned so that the economy will enlarge by about $15 billion.

MARKETS CLOSE A multibillion-dollar deal in the telecom sector and a potential purchase in the Canadian oilpatch helped push the Toronto stock market higher Wednesday. The S&P/TSX composite index gained 79.25 points to 15,394.38 — the latest in a string of record-high closes. BCE Inc. (TSX:BCE) is moving to privatize affiliate Bell Aliant (TSX:BA) in a deal worth roughly $3.95 billion. The telecom giant already controls 44 per cent of the regional telecommunications company. Bell Aliant shareholders will receive cash and BCE shares for a combined value of $31 per share. BCE shares were up 81 cents to $49.82, while Bell Aliant shot up $3.34 to $31.53. BCE said it plans a capital investment of $2.1 billion across Atlantic Canada over the next five years to continue the rollout of broadband wireline and wireless for consumers and business users. “This acquisition is the next logical step and BCE’s large national buildup in acquiring all of this subsidiary will simplify their corporate structure, eliminate costs and increase operating efficiency throughout BCE,” said Kash Pashootan, portfolio manager at First Avenue Advisory in Ottawa, a Raymond James company. Also, Talisman Energy (TSX:TLM) acknowledged that it has been approached by Spanish energy giant Repsol. Talisman added that “there is no assurance that any transaction will be agreed.” Talisman shares soared $1.40 or 13.25 per cent to $11.97. The Canadian dollar was up 0.07 of a cent to 93.21 cents US. In New York, Boeing helped depress the Dow industrials as the aerospace giant reported a profit of US$1.65 billion, or $2.24 a share, beating estimates of $2.01 a share. However, revenue of US$22.05 billion narrowly missed expectations of $22.23 billion and its shares slipped 2.34 per cent to $126.71, even as Boeing boosted its earnings guidance

for the year. The Dow lost 26.91 points to 17,086.63 . A well-received report from Apple helped push the Nasdaq to its highest level since September 2000 — up 17.68 points to 4,473.7. Apple Inc. reported a 12 per cent increase in its quarterly profit, exceeding analyst estimates as iPhone shipments rose 13 per cent compared with a year earlier and its shares gained 2.6 per cent to US$97.19. After the close, Facebook posted earnings per share exitems of 42 cents, a dime better than estimates. Revenue of $2.91 billion beat extimates of $2.81. However, its shares were off 0.6 per cent in after-hours trading. The S&P 500 index added 3.48 points to a fresh record close of 1,987.01. Traders also kept an eye on simmering tensions between Russia and the West as Ukraine’s Defence Ministry said two Ukrainian military fighter jets had been shot down in the eastern part of the country. There was relief on markets Tuesday after the European Union stopped well short of moving to jump to so-called Phase 3 sanctions against Moscow for its support of Ukrainian rebels. Such sanctions could cripple the Russian economy and possibly derail a fragile European economic recovery. On the TSX, the metals and mining sector was ahead 1.44 per cent with September copper unchanged at US$3.21 a pound. The energy sector climbed 1.24 per cent, while September crude oil in New York rose 73 cents to US$103.12 a barrel. The gold sector slipped about 0.52 per cent as August bullion faded $1.60 to US$1,304.70 an ounce. MARKET HIGHLIGHTS Highlights at the close of Wednesday at world financial market trading.

Bombardier aerospace CEO retires amid restructuring that will see 1,800 jobs cut MONTREAL — Bombardier Aerospace president and CEO Guy Hachey is retiring after six years in the post amid a restructuring of its operations that will result in the layoff of 1,800 employees. The Montreal-based company (TSX:BBD.B) says its aerospace division will operate in three segments — business aircraft, commercial aircraft and aerostructures and engineering services — each headed by an executive. The railway segment based in Germany remains intact. Hachey, 59, took over the aerospace division in 2008 following a 30-year career in the automotive industry with General Motors and Delphi Automotive Systems. He’s leaving the company as its new CSeries commercial aircraft remains grounded following an engine incident at the end of May. The aircraft has undergone several delays and is now expected to be delivered in the second half of next year. In a release issued Wednesday after markets closed, Bombardier said Hachey was retiring “as a result of this reorganization.” Bombardier CEO Pierre Beaudoin said Hachey led aerospace during an important period and thanked him for his contributions. Effective immediately, the heads of all segments will report to Beaudoin. They are Lutz Bertling at Transportation, Eric Martel at Business Aircraft and Mike Arcamone at Commercial Aircraft. The head of the new Aerostructures and Engineering Services business segment will be appointed in the next few weeks.

Some aerospace functions and the customer services division will be absorbed into the three aerospace units, generating unspecified cost savings. Spokeswoman Isabelle Rondeau says the change will result in the layoff of 1,800 back office functions such as finance and human resources across the world, or 4.8 per cent of Aerospace’s workforce of 37,000.

CRTC to meet with telecom and cable companies about paper bill fees OTTAWA — The CRTC will meet with telecommunication and cable companies next month to discuss extra fees many of them charge customers who wish to receive paper bills. The federal regulator says that while a majority of companies it looked at do not charge any fees, many do. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission says its examination found 36 companies did not charge extra fees, while 27 other charged fees that ranged from 99 cents to $5.95 a month for paper bills. Certain companies provide exemptions to these fees, such as for customers who do not have Internet access, but there is no consistent practice across the industry, the regulator said. The meeting is to be held Aug. 28. The CRTC says it is concerned that the approach taken by the industry may not take into account the specific circumstances of some customers. CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais warned that he was prepared to explore regulatory options if the industry failed to find an appropriate approach. “We are concerned that not all Canadians have a reasonable choice when it comes to paper bill fees for communications services,” Blais said in statement. “We are challenging telecommunications and broadcasting distribution companies to come up with a comprehensive approach that will enable Canadians to make informed decisions.”

BCE moves to take full control of Bell Aliant BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BCE Inc., Canada’s biggest telecom, is moving to consolidate its position in Atlantic Canada by offering to take full ownership of Bell Aliant through a $3.95-billion deal that analysts generally expect will be successful. The Montreal-based company also announced the purchase of two New Brunswick call centres, plans to roll out its high-speed wireless service to about 100 more communities in the region and $2.1 billion in infrastructure spending over the next five years. “Bell Aliant is a core part of BCE’s national communications operations alongside Bell Canada,” BCE president and CEO George Cope said an announcement Wednesday. “In line with our investment-focused strategic imperatives, BCE looks forward to continuing network and service innovation to benefit consumers and business customers across Bell Aliant’s territory. BCE Inc. (TSX:BCE), which already owns 44 per cent of Bell Aliant, said the company would maintain its separate identity with customers and remain a regional affiliate of the Montreal-based parent company. However, things like billing and product development will be integrated to reduce expenses if the deal is completed as expected. Desjardins Securities analyst Mayer Yaghi said BCE is always under pressure to grow its cash flow in order to meet investor desire for higher dividends — something that will be more difficult if its internal growth slows. “To be able to comfortably continue to grow the dividend at five per cent, you try to get as much as you can,” Yaghi said. He added there’s the possibility that another national wireless carrier could emerge and erode the earning power of BCE, Rogers (TSX:RCI.B) and Telus (TSX:T), which collectively account for more than 90 per cent of the

market. “BCE’s stock could come under pressure and that would make the transaction more difficult if they were to leave it to next year,” Yaghi said. Thirdly, Yaghi said, the deal will help BCE compete against Rogers, which has been pricing its services aggressively in New Brunswick where Aliant has been building out its fibreoptic television service. “It’s more difficult for the competition when you have one entity that they’re competing against, rather than two in different places,” Yaghi said. Bell Aliant will continue to serve customers in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island as well as its regional telecom operations in parts of Ontario and Quebec — primarily outside the major cities served by Bell Canada. Cope told analysts Aliant is nearing completion of its multi-year upgrade of its wireline network — which delivers phone, Internet and television services — but will need further funding. BCE — which also has a media business that includes CTV, radio stations, cable channels and outdoor advertising — said the acquisition of Aliant would eliminate the cost of running two publicly traded companies. It is targeting $100 million in annualized savings, but said it would continue Aliant’s network improvements. No job cuts were announced Wednesday, although company executives told analysts that they’d look to reduce overlap in areas such as billing systems and product development. Bell Aliant headquarters will remain in Halifax. “I think what this really does is take that local expertise and commitment that we’ve always had and put the full backing behind us of BCE to make us very, very strong as we move forward to help us keep being the ’preferred guy’ in each of our local markets,” Bell Aliant chief executive Karen Sheriff said Wednesday on a conference call to discuss the move.

Retail sales record second straight strong month BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CANADIAN ECONOMY

OTTAWA — A strong retail sales report for May suggests the Canadian economy has recovered from a winter hiccup and is returning to above two per cent growth. Thanks to strong car and truck purchases, retails sales rose a better than expected 0.7 per cent in the middle month of the second quarter, building on an upwardly revised 1.3 per cent advance in April. Analysts note real consumer spending is tracking at an annualized five per cent pace in the quarter — four times the rate of the first quarter when the economy as a whole grew by 1.2 per cent. The gain, in conjunction with the rebounds seen in wholesale and manufacturing sales, points to an economy that is likely growing at about 2.2 per cent, or almost twice the pace of the first quarter when unusually poor weather cooled economic activity. “Our calculations indicate that retail sales haven’t fully recovered from the slump over the winter, so we wouldn’t rule out further gains in June,” said Capital Economics analyst David Madani. “This is broadly consistent with our second-quarter GDP growth estimate of 2.2 per cent annualized.” But Madani is not convinced the momentum will carry forward into the second half of the year, if, as he ex-

pects, the export sector continues to struggle and housing cools following a spring burst of activity. In its latest monetary policy report, the Bank of Canada revised downward growth projections for the second and third quarters to 2.3 and 2.4 per cent respectively, also on the assumption that exports will take longer to benefit from improved conditions in the United States and the world economy. Bank governor Stephen Poloz told reporters last week that the “serial disappointment” of the pace of the global recovery has been largely responsible for Canada’s slow-growth record of late. The May numbers were slightly stronger than economists had projected, but the details were not as strong as the headline would suggest. Sales gains were concentrated in the new cars and trucks category, which rose 2.3 per cent to a record 197,740 vehicles sold. Excluding autos, however, retail sales were up only 0.1 per cent for the month, below the 0.3 per cent anticipated by economists. And volume sales, which is directly tied to economic output, rose a more modest 0.4 per cent overall. Among other sub-sectors, sales gasoline station, building material and garden equipment and supplies dealers and at home furnishings stores were all positive.

WALL Greg 1973 - 2014 Greg Wall of Red Deer, AB passed away suddenly on July 20, 2014 at the age of 40 years. Born in St. John’s, NFLD, Greg loved his family with all his heart. He also enjoyed the outdoors immensely and the other love in his life was for fly fishing chasing that big brown on his favorite Clearwater River. Greg also had a passion for pitbull dogs, especially his Cinnamon and Capone. His philosophy was “it’s not the breed, it’s the owner.” Greg was a strong union member, always there to teach and pass on his knowledge. If he was down to his last five dollars, he would give it to you if you needed it. Greg’s love of people, and their love for him, has shone through during this difficult time and his family would like to thank everyone from coast to coast for all their unbelievable support. Greg is survived by his wife, Laura Heath and their children, Devin, Kaley and Vanessa; mother, Noreen Wall; siblings, Jerry (Lisa) Wall, Geraldine (Lloyd) Hunley, Ann Marie Walsh (Scott Eason), Sherry WallRussell (Roy Russell), Doreen (Dave) Rees; brother -in-law, John Heath; nieces and nephews, Kayden Wall, Tyler Wall, Darrell Eason, Jennifer Eason, Tanya Walsh, Stephanie Walsh, Justin Wall, Kayla Rees, Gillian Rees, Jessica Wall, Mitchel Wall, and Alicia Eason; great nieces and nephew, Lily Heath, Abby Heath and Jaxson Devereaux; as well as his many good friends.

LAWRENCE Christopher 1998 - 2014 It is with the deepest sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved son, as a result of an accident, Christopher ‘Chris’ Michael Lawrence near East Coulee, Alberta on Saturday, July 19, 2014 at the age of 15 years. Chris was born on July 21, 1998 at Red Deer, Alberta and spent his early years in Penhold, Alberta and Red Deer. At the age of seven, the family moved to Blackfalds, Alberta, where Chris attended Iron Ridge Elementary Campus. He was well liked and made many friends there. Chris went on to attend school in Red Deer and also Innisfail for his Junior and Senior High but realized early on that the world would be his true classroom. Chris recently moved to Innisfail, where he had met Kristina Kinder, who very quickly became one of the most important parts of his life. He had been attending High School until obtaining employment in the Construction Industry for the summer months. Chris’s ambition was to become a Heavy Duty Mechanic like his Grandpa Blauel, with whom he shared a very special bond. Chris was an avid skateboarder spending entire days at the Skatepark when he could. We all feel such emptiness within but will cherish the many loving memories of our dear son, grandson, great grandson, brother, nephew and friend in our hearts forever. Chris will be lovingly remembered by his mother, Nicole Blauel and stepfather, Dave Sutherland of Blackfalds, Alberta, his father, Michael Lawrence of Red Deer, his girlfriend, Kristina Kinder of Innisfail, Alberta and his brothers and sister, Trevor Blauel, Riley Sutherland and Kieran Sutherland, all of Blackfalds. He will also be very sadly missed by his Grandparents, Laurel Blauel, Doreen and Frank Mardian, all of Red Deer, Bill Lawrence of Penhold, Ian and Pamela Sutherland of St. Albert, Alberta and Heather and Albert Cramette of Red Deer; his great grandparents, Ken and Melba Stuart of Red Deer, Rose Mardian of Kindersly, Saskatchewan and Gladys Bigg of St. Albert; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and all his friends. Chris was predeceased by his grandpa, Barry Blauel. A Celebration of Chris’s Life will be held at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta on Sunday, July 27, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. If desired, Memorial Donations in Chris’s honor may be made directly to the Red Deer & District S.P.C.A. at www.reddeerspca.com or to a charity of the donor’s choice. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com. Arrangements in care of Gary W. Anderson, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.

REDMOND Gwendolyn (Gwenne) Iva Florence (1943 - 2014) Our beloved wife, mother, sister and grandmother passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Hospice, July 22, 2014 at the age of 70 years. She is survived by her husband, Joe of Sylvan Lake; daughter, Raylene (Rob) McWade of Sylvan Lake and their children, Sean (Meghan) and Samantha (Travis); daughter, Lynne Redmond-Dorcas of Airdrie and her children Joel, Brett and Braden Jepson; daughter, Jennifer McCulloch of Didsbury and her children Carson and Rowan; her brother, John (Gale) Carswell of Lillooet, BC; sister-in-law, Sharon (Carol) Redmond of Nanaimo, BC as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Gwenne was born August 11, 1943 in Whitehorse, to Richard (Dick) and Daisy Carswell, long-time Yukon residents. She attended the University of Victoria and Victoria’s Jubilee Hospital School of Nursing. She worked for Dr. Buchan in Whitehorse and the Didsbury Nursing Home. Growing up she enjoyed participating in many sports such as curling and basketball. In 1963 she was honored to be Miss Sourdough Rendevous Queen and represented the Territory as Miss Yukon. Her love of sports continued into adulthood with slowpitch ball, skiing and bowling, which she had the honor of participating at the Alberta Winter Games in 1980. Gwenne was a very active volunteer and dedicated time to many organizations including Didsbury Light Horse, American Saddlebred Horse Association of Alberta and the David Thompson Health Region. Gwenne and Joe were married in Whitehorse in 1965 and subsequently lived in Calgary, Devon, Didsbury, Abbotsford, Red Deer and Sylvan Lake. Despite being a Yukoner, she loved the mountains and prairies of Alberta and felt she was at home here. Joe and Gwenne were proud parents/grandparents and supported the many endeavors and activities of their family. She was a long time member of the Alliance Community Church in Sylvan Lake and her friends and family find great comfort in knowing that she is with her Heavenly Father. Her family thanks the dedicated medical professionals who were so caring, particularly Dr. Neil Stewart of Red Deer, Dr. Easaw and team of the Tom Baker Cancer Center, the Home Care staff in Sylvan Lake and the very special staff and volunteers of the Red Deer Hospice. A Celebration of Life for Gwenne will be held at the Alliance Community Church, 4404 - 47 Avenue, Sylvan Lake, AB, Friday July 25, 2014 at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gwenne’s memory to the Red Deer Hospice Society, 99 Arnot Avenue, Red Deer, AB T4R-3S6 www.reddeerhospice.com. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.myalternatives.ca. Serving Red Deer and Central Alberta Since 1997

Iraqi civilians inspect damage in the aftermath of a Tuesday car bombing that killed many people and wounded tens of others in a crowded outdoor market, in Baghdad’s Sadr City, Iraq, Wednesday.

Iraq postpones presidential vote JIHADIS CLAIM BAGHDAD BOMBING AMID MILITANT OFFENSIVE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Iraq’s parliament agreed to postpone a vote for a new president by a day on Wednesday as the extremist Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in Baghdad the night before that killed 31 people, mainly civilians. The delay is in response to a request from the Kurdish political bloc, Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jabouri said Wednesday addressing lawmakers. With President Jalal Talabani’s term set to expire, the vote for his successor is part of broader negotiations over forming a new government. At least 95 candidates are running, Shiite lawmaker Adel Shershab told state television. The Sunni militants’ capture of large areas of Iraq last month, including the second-largest city Mosul, plunged the country into its worst crisis since the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2011. Calls are intensifying for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to step down, with many accusing him of trying to monopolize power and alienating the Sunni minority. But the prime minister, who has held office since 2006, has vowed to remain in his post. Despite the crisis, lawmakers have struggled to agree on a new government following April elections -- in which al-Maliki’s bloc secured the

most seats. After several delays, lawmakers elected a moderate Sunni as parliament speaker on July 15, the first step in the process. “The parliament is meeting again in order to select the president of the republic in accordance with the constitutional and legal procedures that allow any citizen to run,” al-Maliki said in his weekly address to parliament. “We hope that the parliament will succeed in choosing the president.” Talabani, who suffered a stroke in late 2012, returned to the country on Saturday after more than 18 months abroad for medical treatment. Two names have emerged as frontrunners to succeed Talabani — former Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh and the Kirkuk provincial Gov. Najimaldin Karim. Since 2003, Iraq’s political parties have agreed to assign the position of president to a Kurd, prime minister to a Shiite and speaker of parliament to a Sunni. The next president will task someone with forming a new government, and whoever can assemble a majority coalition will become the next prime minister. Meanwhile, the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on a checkpoint near a revered Shiite shrine in the heart of the capital late Tuesday, as worshippers awaited security checks before visiting the site during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesia’s losing presidential candidate plans to file a legal challenge in the nation’s highest court, his campaign said Wednesday, a move that is likely to prolong the political uncertainty in the country’s transition to democracy. Jakarta Gov. Joko Widodo, known to most as “Jokowi,” was declared the winner late Tuesday after all the votes were counted from the July 9 election. Suharto-era general Prabowo Subianto withdrew shortly before the result was announced, alleging massive fraud during the election, and charging that it was unfair and undemocratic. He has repeatedly claimed that pollsters with links to his campaign showed he was ahead. Campaign team spokesman Tantowi Yahya told journalists that Subianto is contesting the voting procedure and his lawyers are preparing to file a challenge with the constitutional Court within three days. “We will not surrender our rights” to hold a second vote, Yahya said. “The indication of massive fraud and widespread irregularities is overwhelming.” Election observers found the vote to be generally fair and free, with minimal abnormalities. The vote was Indonesia’s third direct presidential election after emerging from dictatorship, and defeated candidates in the previous two elections also challenged the results in the court, but failed. Officials at the constitutional Court have said if an election challenge is filed by this weekend, the case would be heard by Aug. 6 and the verdict would come on Aug. 21. The ruling cannot be appealed. Subianto will assert that the Election Commission’s list of eligible voters differs from local lists in several provinces, said his younger brother, Hashim Djojohadikusumo, a businessman who is also a leader of the campaign. He estimated 50,000 polling stations have reported irregularities, putting an estimated 21 million votes in question out of the total of nearly 133 million cast. Subianto’s court case is unlikely to alter the election outcome because Widodo won by nearly 8.5 million votes, said Election Supervisory Board Commissioner Nelson Simanjuntak. “They must show strong and honest evidence,” Simanjuntak said, adding that the board is ready to open its records of the voting results to the court. Final results showed that Widodo, from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, received just under 71 million votes, or 53 per cent.

Judge says Al-Jazeera reporters did the “devil’s” job BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EGYPT

CAIRO, Egypt — An Egyptian judge released his reasoning for harsh sentences issued against three Al-Jazeera journalists, saying they were brought together “by the devil” to destabilize the country. The main evidence cited in the 57-page document obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday was footage produced by the journalists that included voices critical of the government and showed the turmoil in Egypt after the overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last summer, as well as interviews with families of those killed in the crackdown on Morsi supporters. The reasoning was released a month after judge Mohammed Shehata convicted and sentenced the three journalists, Australian correspondent Peter Greste, Egyptian-Canadian acting Bureau Chief Mohammed Fahmy and Egyptian producer Baher Mohammed, to seven years over charges linked to aiding the Muslim Brotherhood, which the government declared a terrorist organization after the military’s ouster of Morsi, a Brotherhood leader. The verdicts raised a storm of international denunciations, including from the United States. Rights groups called the trial a “sham” that sends a chilling message to the press. The defendants and Al-Jazeera denied the charges, saying they were being prosecuted merely for going their jobs. The three were convicted for spreading false information, faking reports to show that the country was on the verge of civil war, and for aiding the Brotherhood’s goal in portraying Egypt as a failed state. Mohammed received an additional three years for his possession of a spent bullet. Three other foreign reporters received a

10-year sentence in absentia. Twelve other co-defendants were sentenced to between seven and ten years, some of them in absentia. Under Egyptian law, now that the judge has released his reasoning, the defendants can appeal the verdicts before the Court of Cassation, the highest court of appeal. In his reasoning, the judge stated that the defendants — who worked for Al-Jazeera’s English-language channel — broadcast their material through a TV station that works “in the service of a banned terrorist organization,” referring to the Brotherhood — a blanket condemnation of the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera. But the document provided no clear link between the Brotherhood and the network, only saying that some members of the group were also operating out of Qatar. Shehata rejected defence lawyers’ arguments that evidence put forward by State Security investigators was insufficient and based on anonymous sources. Shehata said he found the evidence compelling, and found no “false allegations or contradictory statements” in investigators’ testimony. “The defendants used the noble journalistic work for reasons other than its purposes, turning the profession that seeks the truth to one that falsifies the truth,” the statement said. “They were brought together by the devil to abuse this profession and turn it into acts against the nation.” In several pages of the reasoning, the judge lay out a detailed account of the evidence cited by investigators. Largely the evidence appears to describe typical reporting. It cites news footage found on the three that included reports from the

protest encampments organized following the overthrow of Morsi and interviews with leading members of the Brotherhood and scenes of burials of hundreds killed when the security agencies violently dispersed the gathering in August last year. The evidence also pointed to footage showing dead bodies in a mosque at the centre of the encampment and interviews with the mother of one of those killed. The evidence also included footage showing protests by Islamist students in support of Morsi and an interview with their spokesmen vowing to continue their rejection of what they called a military coup. The reports that were part of the evidence also included footage of regular Egyptians complaining of life becoming too expensive, soccer fans complaining that the games have suffered since the turmoil and reports on traffic and sexual harassment in Egypt. The report included no clear evidence that any of the footage was faked. Instead, it cited editing of the reports. The investigators’ case, accepted by the judge, presents the footage as part of a conspiracy. Shehata wrote that investigators said that Fahmy set up a media centre from his makeshift studio and office in a Cairo hotel to disseminate falsified reports. They accused other defendants — students who were also charged in the case — of forming a separate media centre to also feed footage to Al-Jazeera. They accused both groups of receiving orders from the Brotherhood, but none of the evidence in the reasoning appears to support that. In one case, investigators offered a recorded conversation between three people, two of them allegedly defendants in the case, talking in a phone call about cameras they were provided by AlJazeera to film events on the ground.

Neither side backing down TOP U.S. DIPLOMAT PUSHES FOR CEASEFIRE AS GAZA FAMILIES FLEE HEAVY FIGHTING IN SOUTH BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GAZA, Gaza Strip — Israeli troops battled Hamas militants on Wednesday near a southern Gaza Strip town as the top U.S. diplomat reported progress in efforts to end fighting that has so far killed more than 680 Palestinians and 34 Israelis. But neither side appeared to be backing down, after Palestinian rocket fire led several international airlines to cancel flights to Tel Aviv and Israeli troops clashed with Hamas near the Gaza town of Khan Younis in heavy fighting that forced dozens of families to flee. Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal later demanded Gaza’s borders be open and an end to the blockade against it, calling Palestinians “the true owners of the land.” Israel has insisted it must substantially curb the military capabilities of the Islamic militant group Hamas — a position that appears to have gained support within the U.S. administration — while Hamas has demanded the lifting of a crippling Israeli and Egyptian blockade on the impoverished coastal territory it has ruled since 2007. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry flew into Tel Aviv despite a Federal Aviation Administration ban following a Hamas rocket that hit near the airport the day before, reflecting his determination to achieve a cease-fire. He met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after earlier talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and UN chief Ban Ki-moon, who is also in the region. But U.S. officials have downplayed expectations for an immediate, lasting truce. In Jerusalem, Kerry said negotiations toward a Gaza cease-fire were making some progress as he met for a second time this week with Ban. “We certainly have made steps forward,” Kerry said. “There’s still work to be done.” White House deputy national security adviser Tony Blinken meanwhile said Hamas must be denied the ability to “rain down rockets on Israeli civilians.” “One of the results, one would hope, of a cease-fire would be some form of demilitarization so that this doesn’t continue, doesn’t repeat itself,” Blinken said in an interview with NPR. “That needs to be the end result.”

A family member mourns over the grave of Captain Natan Cohen, platoon commander, during his funeral at the military cemetery in Modiin, near Jerusalem Israel, Wednesday. Cohen, 23, was killed while fighting in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday. On the ground, meanwhile, Israeli troops backed by tanks and aerial drones clashed with Hamas fighters armed with rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles on the outskirts of Khan Younis, killing at least eight militants, a Palestinian health official said. The Palestinian Red Crescent was trying to evacuate some 250 people from the area, which has been pummeled by air strikes and tank shelling since early Wednesday. Hundreds of residents of eastern Khan Younis were seen fleeing their homes as the battle unfolded, flooding into the streets with what few belongings they could carry, many with children in tow. They said they were seeking shelter in nearby UN schools. “The airplanes and airstrikes are all around us,” said Aziza Msabah, a resident of Khan Younis. “They are hitting the houses, which are collapsing upon us.” Further north, in the Shijaiyah neighbourhood of Gaza City, which saw intense fighting earlier this week, an airstrike demolished a home, killing 30-year-old journalist Abdul Rahman Abu Hean, his grandfather Hassan and his nephew Osama.

Israel also struck the Wafa hospital in Gaza City, which the military says houses a Hamas command centre. Basman Ashi, the medical centre’s director, said all 97 patients and staff were evacuated following Israeli warnings and that no one was hurt in the attack. Meanwhile, a foreign worker in Israel was killed when a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip landed near the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon on Wednesday, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said. She did not immediately know the worker’s nationality. Israel said five more of its soldiers have died in the conflict, bringing the military’s death toll to 32, without providing further details. Two Israeli civilians have been killed in 15 days of fighting. In Jerusalem, 30,000 people attended the funeral of Max Steinberg, a 24-year-old from the San Fernando Valley of southern California serving in the Israeli military. Steinberg was killed in an attack on an armoured personnel carrier on Sunday. “I spoke with him a day and a half ago,” his mother, Evie Steinberg, told Israeli Channel 2 TV.

“I said ‘are you afraid?’ He said ’no. I am afraid only for you.’ He’s a hero.” Kerry offered “profound gratitude” for the large turnout. The Palestinians say Israel is randomly deploying a wide array of modern weaponry against Gaza’s 1.7 million people, inflicting a heavy civilian death toll and levelling entire buildings. The Palestinian death toll stands at 684, mostly civilians, according to Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra. Israel says it launched the Gaza operation to halt Hamas rocket fire into Israel — more than 2,100 have been fired since the conflict erupted — and to destroy a network of cross-border tunnels, some of which have been used to stage attacks. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights meanwhile warned both sides against targeting civilians and said war crimes may have been committed. Navi Pillay noted an Israeli drone strike that killed three children and wounded two others while they were playing on the roof of their home. She also referenced Israeli fire that struck seven children playing on Gaza beach, killing four from the same family.

Plane crashes while landing in storm at Taiwan airport BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rescue workers survey the wreckage of TransAsia Airways flight GE222 which crashed while attempting to land in stormy weather on the Taiwanese island of Penghu, late Wednesday. A transport minister said dozens of people were trapped and feared dead.

TAIPEI, Taiwan — A plane attempting to land in stormy weather crashed on a small Taiwanese island late Wednesday, killing 47 people and wrecking houses and cars on the ground. The ATR-72 operated by Taiwan’s TransAsia Airways was carrying 58 passengers and crew when it crashed on Penghu in the Taiwan Strait between Taiwan and China, authorities said. The plane was arriving from the city of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan. Two people aboard the plane were French citizens and the rest Taiwanese, Transport Minister Yeh Kuangshih told reporters. The twin-engine turboprop crashed while making a second landing attempt, Yeh said. The crash of flight GE222 was Taiwan’s first fatal air accident in 12 years and came after Typhoon Matmo passed across the island, causing heavy rains that continued into Wednesday night. Some 200 airline flights had been cancelled earlier in the day due to rain and strong winds. The official death toll was 47, according to Wen Chia-hung, spokesman for the Penghu disaster response centre. He said the 11 other people were injured. Authorities were looking for one person who might have been in a house that was struck by wreckage, Wen said. A car was crushed by a toppled wall but Wen said no one was in it. President Ma Ying-jeou called it “a very sad day in the history of Taiwanese aviation,” according to a spokesman for his office, Ma Wei-kuo, the

government’s Central News Agency reported. The plane came down in the village of Xixi outside the airport. Television stations showed rescue workers pulling bodies from wreckage. Photos in local media showed firefighters using flashlights to look through the wreckage, and buildings damaged by debris. Penghu, a scenic chain of 64 islets, is a popular tourist site about 150 kilometres (90 miles) southwest of the Taiwanese capital, Taipei. Residents said they heard thunder and then what sounded like an explosion, the news agency said. It cited the Central Weather Bureau as saying there were thunderstorms in the area. “I heard a loud bang,” a local resident was quoted as saying by television station TVBS. “I thought it was thunder, and then I heard another bang and I saw a fireball not far away from my house.” About 200 military personnel were sent to help recover the people who were on the plane, Taiwanese Defence Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Luo Shou-he said, according to the news agency. The ministry said military vehicles and ambulances were rushing people to hospitals and an air force rescue team was on standby to transfer survivors to Taiwan’s main island if needed for treatment, the agency reported. The flight left Kaohsiung at 4:53 p.m. for Magong on Penghu, according to the head of Taiwan’s Civil Aeronautics Administration, Jean Shen. The plane lost contact with the tower at 7:06 p.m. after saying it would make a second landing attempt.

Shipwrecked Concordia liner towed on final voyage BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GIGLIO ISLAND, Italy — The Costa Concordia cruise liner began its final voyage Wednesday, slowly being towed away from the tiny Italian island where it capsized more than two years ago, killing 32 people. Boat sirens wailed and bells tolled on the island just before two tugboats pulled the Concordia away from Giglio’s port, where the luxury liner ended up on its side in pristine Mediterranean waters, after being gashed by a reef it struck when its captain steered too close to the island. The tugs are bringing the crippled ship on a four-day journey to the northwestern port of Genoa, which is home

to the ship’s owner, Costa Crociere Spa. The vessel will be scrapped there. Accompanying the tugs and Concordia, moving at 2 knots (2.3 mph), are several boats to monitor any pollution in the waters, which are home to dolphins. Nets have been attached to sides of the liner in case any remnants of the Concordia’s last passenger cruise — dishware, pots and pans, bed linen, chairs and other furnishings — tumble out of the ship during towing. A daring engineering operation set the Concordia upright last September. Then, over the last few months, custom-built tanks, now filled with air to serve as kind of water wings to facilitate floating, were attached to the liner’s flanks. The salvage master of the entire operation, Nick Sloane, said

he felt a bit nervous before boarding a special command centre attached to the top of the Concordia to monitor the final voyage. An Italian naval admiral was also aboard. Flying from the Concordia was the Italian flag, since regulations require the banner to be visible on the Italianregistered ship until scrapping. On Friday, on the seabed where the Concordia had been marooned, a new search will begin for the one body that was never found. For weeks after the crash, divers had combed accessible areas in vain for the body of the Indian man who was a Concordia waiter. Whether the Concordia itself might hold the body, “we will only know in the moment that the ship is dismantled in Genoa,” Franco Gabrielli, the Ital-

ian government official monitoring the entire removal process, told reporters on the island. The Concordia’s Italian captain is on trial, accused of multiple manslaughter, causing the wreck on Jan. 13, 2012 and abandoning ship while hundreds of the 4,200 passengers and crew were still aboard the badly listing ship. The sole defendant in the trial in Tuscany, Francesco Schettino claimed the reef wasn’t on the liner’s nautical charts. “It’s a moment for sobriety and sorrowful respect for those who are no more,” Gabrielli told Sky TG24 as he recalled those who perished. France also sent a boat to monitor the voyage, since the Concordia’s final route passes Corsica’s east coast.
