Mobile kitchens shuttered for safety reasons

MEET THE CRITTER

BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Mobile kitchens serving firefighters west of Nordegg have been replaced after Alberta Health Services shut them down for safety reasons in midJuly. Outland Resources Inc., under a contract with Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, had set up two mobile kitchens at the Spreading Creek wildfire to provide meals for the men and women working on the blaze. Discovered on July 3, the Spreading Creek fire now covers 16,400 acres of land and is classified as being held, wildfire information officer Geoffrey Driscoll said on Monday. A former firefighter with five years of experience on wildfires in Oregon, Driscoll said on Sunday that crew members are focused on three things: work, eat and sleep. Along with the massive amount of water they need to keep hydrated during the day, crew members need 4,500 calories of food intake to replace the energy they expend on the fires. It’s a highly regimented lifestyle, with your body growing accustomed to being fed at specific times of the day, said Driscoll. He heartily agreed with the suggestion that every man and woman returning to camp at dinner time is hungry enough to eat the hind end of a grizzly bear. So there was a scramble on July 19, when AHS executive officer Kelly Bauer gave a verbal order that the two mobile kitchens were found to have breached safety standards and were ordered to shut down. In a written order issued three days later, Bauer described various infractions involving the two units. Infractions in one unit including a lack of running water and inadequate facilities for cold storage. The other kitchen was shut for a lack of hot running water; a malfunction in its cooler; improper storage of equipment and utensils; improper storage in the refrigerator unit; dirty counters, walls and floors; poor ventilation and the lack of a plumbed handwash unit for kitchen staff.

Air cadet camp helps to lift teenagers toward their goals BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF SPRINGBROOK — There’s summer camp and there’s cadet camp. Those who have attended both say cadet camp is wayyyy more fun. By summer’s end, facilities once occupied by Canadian Forces Base Penhold will have been the training ground for more than 1,200 12-yearolds and teens attracted to training and bonding experiences offered by joining the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. They learn to be good leaders and good followers and a large number of them will get first-class training as musicians in marching bands. Wind instrument musicians Brianna Bolt, Olivia Menard and Chan Hee Park, all 15, were among the cadets whose program included courses in advanced band. Park said one of his goals as a musi-

cian is to smooth off some of the rough edges he experiences as he makes the transition back and forth between trumpet and flute. “I’ve got a bad habit, when I play flute, I did a kind of like, trumpet mouth,” said Park. He also spits into his trumpet, a carryover from the mouthing methods used for enunciating notes on the flute. A first-timer with air cadets, Park said he had attended Catholic church camp in the past and found the experience entirely different. “It’s better. I love the schedule, the sessions and the private lessons. Those are really good.” Hoping to become a teacher some day, Park said he hopes to go home from camp with more skills, like sightreading and theory, along with a new set of good friends. Playing in a band rather than performing solo has the benefit that the people beside you can cover if you

make a mistake, said Park. The bonds formed between cadets are especially tight, because they all come to camp with common interests and goals, said Bolt, who was first attracted to the program when she saw a group of cadets marching in a parade. Now in her fourth year, Bolt said she plays bass clarinet and is learning to play the flute. “It’s (more) fun because we’re here with these people for a certain amount of time and we do everything together and we bond. With the other camps, it’s like you don’t get as close to them.” Bolt said her future plans include applying for the glider program and then pursue a degree in dentistry after graduating from high school. She hopes to complete her degree through the Canadian Officer Training Program and eventually enter private practice.

A local graphic artist trained in Calgary has put her own stamp on the country star who impressed her so much as a youth. A few years ago, when Sabrina McAllister was still a pre-teen and living on the family farm east of Penhold, her parents, David and Susan Kaun, took her to Calgary for a Shania Twain concert. They had seats in the floor area and McAllister had brought along a rose that she hoped to lay on the stage. Security staff were not allowing anyone to approach the stage, but the Kauns were able to talk one of them into taking the rose up for her. McAllister says seeing how she had

done her best to look like Shania may have helped convince the security people of her sincerity. The highlight for her that night came during the show, when Shania stopped the concert, picked up the rose, and had her stage crew put a spot l i g h t o n t h e Sabrina McAllister Kaun family as she read for her audience the note that accompanied the flower.

Lacombe woman hits VLT jackpot BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Worries about how her daughters’ educations would be paid for evaporated in the blink of an eye for a Lacombe woman who truly hit the jackpot at the Jackpot Casino in Red Deer. Early on Monday afternoon, the casino announced that one of its video lottery terminals had hit a casino record, paying out more than $1.2 million to Peggy-Sue Stuckky of Lacombe. Stuckky said she is not a regular visitor to the casino, but had gone along with her friend, Diane Fischer, to play a few slots and have some lunch. Stuckky said her buddy had given her a $20-bill to play the slots, but had to leave the casino for a few minutes and wasn’t there when she struck the big prize, a jackpot of $1,220,024.76. There were no bells or whistles or other fanfare, she said, just a few clicks and there they were, the three diamonds that produce a big winner in the Diamond Millions progressive slots. The Diamond

Millions is part of the province-wide video lottery network. Stuckky said she forgot all about lunch and was so shaky, she doubts she could have eaten anything anyway. Because the money she used to play the machine had been provided by her best friend, she felt its only right that they should split the profits.

BECAUSE THE MONEY SHE USED TO PLAY THE MACHINE HAD BEEN PROVIDED BY HER BEST FRIEND, SHE FELT ITS ONLY RIGHT THAT THEY SHOULD SPLIT THE PROFITS. Between the two women and Stuckky’s brother, that means six children and young adults will have money to cover their education. Stuckky has two daughters, one 18 and one 23. The younger of the two is starting college in Red Deer

this fall and her older sister is heading for four years of study in Vancouver after a two-year program in Lethbridge. Stuckky said she had been considering taking a part time job along with her regular work to help pay for her daughters’ schooling. Now, she can continue in her work with paper crafts and rubber stamping without worrying about where the money will come from. She hopes to have a few dollars left over for a European vacation. Stuckky’s jackpot is the second big winner in Central Alberta in recent weeks. Bradley and Amanda Kelly, who live in Lacombe County, won $18.3 million off of a Lotto-649 ticket purchased in Claresholm on June 25. The Alberta Lottery and Gaming Commission must verify Stuckky’s win before she and Fischer receive their prize, casino staff said on Monday. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

STORIES FROM A1

KITCHENS: Crews fed at nearby resort Doug Finnaman, southern region representative for Outland, said crews were fed at a nearby resort while his company dealt with the shutdown. The two units, which look like oversized food trucks, had been purchased recently from a company that contracts to movie sets and were operated by a third party. The two units were removed from the site and replaced with an industrial style mobile kitchen of the type that is normally used in remote work camps at oil and gas sites. Finnaman said he offered to buy meals for the fire crew’s 84 firefighters while the replacement was being set up. However, those costs were covered by ESRD. He and Driscoll confirmed on Monday that all food services have been restored for the Spreading Creek fire crew. Fire base kitchen contracts are rewarded in fall and rotated among the successful bidders, said Driscoll. Drinking water is provided under a separate contract, he said. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

CADETS: Teaching and learning Like Park, Menard said she is aiming toward a career in education. Now in her third year with the program, Menard said she learned about the program through a friend of her mom. “I checked it out and stuff, and I really liked it. I went to cadets and I then decided that that was cool and I wanted more of it, and then I decided to go to summer camp.” She had been learning piano and clarinet before joining cadets, and decided she would like to study trombone during camp. Clarinet is a finicky instrument to learn, but not as hard to play as the trombone, said Menard. “I’m really enjoying trombone,” she said. “I really want to be a teacher, whether it be with math and science or music and French. I’d be happy doing both. I really love music and I really like math and I really like teaching people, so I’m really happy to be here.” Menard said she is teaching and learning during camp this year. She said her future choices will depend on how things have panned out once she has finished high school. Air Cadets aged 12 and up come from through the Prairie Provinces for summer camp at Penhold. They learn a variety of skills, including survival, physical fitness, marksmanship, music and gliding. Depending on which program they’ve entered, cadets will spend one, two or three weeks in the camp.

STAMPS: Three winners Years later, McAllister has been given another shot at getting close, if not personal, to her childhood idol. Last fall, a former colleague contacted McAllister about an opportunity at Canada Post. The corporation had opened a competition, seeking designs for a series of collectors’ stamps and booklets featuring five of Canada’s favourite country music stars — including Shania Twain. McAllister was contacted earlier this year by a Canada Post representative, announcing that the winning designs had been chosen for release in July. “They saved the best for last,” says McAllister. First, the caller said her design would be used for the Renée Martel stamp. There was more. Her design had also been selected for the Hank Snow stamp. Then came the big news. The caller advised her that she was the successful designer of the stamp commemorating her favourite star, Shania Twain. The other two stamps, featuring k.d. lang and Tommy Hunter, were awarded to designer Roy White. In the most recent edition of its periodical, Details, Canada Post includes a few phrases from McAllister’s reaction upon learning that her designs had

been chosen. “I was giddy with excitement,” she says. “Shania was a childhood idol for me.” At home with her husband, Wade, and their new baby, Mia, McAllister said Canada Post provided a cash prize for each of the designs it selected, but the reward is far greater in terms of the honour it brings and the exposure it provides for her new enterprise, Quarter Section Creative Inc. McAllister studied at the Alberta College of Art and Design and start her career with an advertising and marketing firm based in Calgary. Then, in the fall of 2010 with heavy snows in the forecast, her dad had started calling neighbours for extra help to get the crops in. That was when she met, for the first time, a dashing helicopter pilot who had grown up almost in sight of her family’s home. Wade McAllister was among the crew who arrived from the McAllister farm, six kilometres due south of Kaun’s Seed Farm. In the months to come, he did not have to work too hard to convince his new love to move back to the country, where they both believe her creative forces have blossomed. They were married two years ago and now live on the farmsite where Wade’s great-great parents started established their new farm in 1890. McAllister says she is now free to stay home with her baby, help with the farm when needed, and look after a graphic design business that has a strong rural focus. Among her contracts is development of a new branding scheme for Agri-Trade, including the release this year of a new logo she designed for the Red Deerbased farm equipment and technology show. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate.com

British Columbia Premier Christy Clark, right, and Alberta Premier Alison Redford are seen prior to a closed door meeting in Kelowna, B.C., on June 14, 2013. A CBC report last week said a leaked review from Alberta’s auditor general found that passenger lists on government aircraft were altered so Redford could fly alone. Redford denies any personal wrong-doing.

54164H2-25

EDMONTON — The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has launched an online petition for recall legislation in Alberta in the wake of a report about former premier Alison Redford’s alleged misuse of government aircraft. Redford resigned as premier on March 23 amid caucus complaints about her lavish spending, but she continues to sit in the legislature as the representative for Calgary-Elbow. A CBC report last week said a leaked review from Alberta’s auditor general found that passenger lists on government aircraft were altered so Redford could fly alone. Redford denies any personal wrongdoing. The taxpayers federation says if recall legislation is adopted in Alberta, voters in Calgary-Elbow would have the right to recall Redford. The federation says it encourages a model similar to legislation in British Columbia where a byelection is held if at least 40 per cent of eligible voters in a constituency sign their names to call for one. “Citizens deserve the right to hold their elected officials accountable more than once every four years,� the federation’s Alberta director, Derek Fildebrandt, said in a news release. “Considering how former premier Redford has treated taxpayer’s money with disrespect, yet remains the MLA for Calgary-Elbow, the CTF

believes that her constituents deserve the right to recall Redford if they so choose.� The federation says it is asking all three of the candidates vying to replace Redford as the leader of Alberta’s Progressive Conservative party to support the call for recall legislation. Candidate Thomas Lukaszuk said he likes the idea of recall legislation, but feels that the threshold for a byelection of 40 per cent of eligible voters could only be achieved by special interest groups with the organizing ability and money to gather signatures. “The average citizen would never be able to spark a recall,� Lukaszuk said. Candidates Jim Prentice and Ric McIver were contacted for their opinions on recall legislation, but neither were available. Lukaszuk said parliamentary legislatures already have all-party committees which have the ability to discuss the removal of sitting members.

A blue view from above SPREADING A MESSAGE THAT WE CAN’T PUT PROFIT AHEAD OF ECOLOGICAL HEALTH A now-famous 1972 photo of Earth taken by Apollo 17 astronauts from 45,000 km away became known as “the blue marble.” The late scientist Carl Sagan described a 1990 picture taken from six billion km away by the unmanned Voyager 1 as a “pale blue dot.” The vision of Earth from a distance has profoundly moved pretty much anyone who has ever seen it. “When we look down DAVID at the Earth SUZUKI from space, we see this amazing, indescribably beautiful planet,” International Space Station astronaut Ron Garan said. “It looks like a living, breathing organism. But it also, at the same time, looks extremely fragile.” Referring to the atmosphere, Garan added “it’s really sobering … to realize that that little paper-thin layer is all that protects every living thing on Earth.”

SCIENCE

Many astronauts report a deep feeling of connection that transcends borders and worldly conflict — referred to by some as the “overview effect.” Apollo 14’s Edgar Mitchell said, “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty.” How can anyone who has even seen a photo of the Earth treat our small blue home with disdain and carelessness? How can anyone fail to recognize how precious and finite the resources, especially water, are — and that we must share and care for what we have? The “blue marble” photo from Apollo 17, the last manned lunar mission, catalyzed the global environmental movement. Now, as people around the world compete for air, water and land — not just with each other, but with corporations bent on profit at any cost — we need a resurgence in action to care for our small blue planet. That’s why I’m about to embark on what will likely be my last national tour. From Sept. 24 to Nov. 9, I’m crossing the country, from St. John’s, N.L., to Victoria, B.C., with 20 stops along

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

AltaLink should not be sold to foreign ownership AltaLink is a publicly-funded, fully regulated utility that is owned by corporations that has often been brought into disrepute: SNC-Lavalin. AltaLink also just happens to be Alberta’s largest electricity transmission company that controls 80 per cent of the electricity flow in Alberta. Albertans guarantee AltaLink an annual income of roughly nine per cent return on equity (ROE), and we pay for all the capital improvements to the company via a transmission charge levied on every monthly electric utility bill. By law, AltaLink doesn’t pay any taxes. Given SNCLavalin’s poor reputation, (they suffer multiple sanctions by the World Bank for fraud and corruption), it seems only fair to Alberta’s ratepayers that another owner with a higher caliber of integrity operates AltaLink. That said, SNC is proposing to sell AltaLink for $3.2 billion to MidAmerican Energy, a U.S. company owned by billionaire Warren Buffett. Both the Canadian government and the Alberta Utilities Commission must approve the sale, and on Friday, July 25, the Canadian government approved the sale. SNC purchased AltaLink for $800 million back in 2002 and if the AUC approves the sale, it would in effect provide SNC-Lavalin with a $2.4-billion profit at the public’s expense, and this is incredibly unfair to all Albertans on multiple levels. Without delving into the question of why a publicregulated utility should be privately owned, the sale of AltaLink raises numerous questions that must be answered before any sale is approved. By all guesstimates, Buffett is overpaying for AltaLink by as much as $600-plus million. Executives

the way. The plan is to work with Canadians from all walks of life to protect the people and places we love. It’s the most important thing I’ve ever done. And it’s going to be fun! Because they care deeply about our country and the planet, many friends are joining me along the way, including Feist, Neil Young, the Barenaked Ladies, Margaret Atwood, Kinnie Starr, Raine Maida, Grimes, Danny Michel, Stephen Lewis, Bruce Cockburn, Robert Bateman, Shane Koyczan and many more. The goal of the Blue Dot Tour is to work with community leaders and groups, local governments, First Nations, musicians, writers, legal experts and — we hope — you on local, regional and national initiatives to ensure all Canadians have access to clean water, fresh air and healthy food. Ultimately, we’d like to see the right to a healthy environment enshrined in the Canadian Constitution’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. That may seem like a challenge, but it’s not unusual. More than half the world’s nations — at least 110 — have environmental rights in their constitutions. Not having them is a strange oversight in a country like Canada, where our clean air and water, spectacular nature and abundant wildlife

from both companies refuse to say how this premium is going to be recouped, but I guess we all know the answer: ratepayers. Overpaying may be in the best interest of SNC-Lavalin, but is overpaying in the best interest of the ratepayers? Given that Alberta’s ratepayers are the primary (if not sole) capital investors in AltaLink, how do we get a return for our investment? Typically in other jurisdictions, SNC would only receive a percentage of the profits (or loss) based on the market value of its investment, and the public would receive a percentage of the profits (or loss) based on our investment. Any premium paid over and above the adjusted present net book value would be returned to the ratepayers. The formula varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but for the most part it is fair. So why in Alberta does SNC-Lavalin get all the profits from the sale of AltaLink if the ratepayers have paid for all the capital improvements? The sale of AltaLink raises other concerns with regard to competition and security. AltaLink owns transmission lines that have been deemed critical to our economy. Does it make sense to sell critical infrastructure to our economy to a foreign company? Does it makes sense that we will guarantee an income to a foreign company that will not pay taxes in Alberta, and pay for all their capital upgrades as well? Further, given that MidAmerican Energy owns numerous generators and transmission lines in the states, how do the regulators propose to police anticompetitive price manipulation? The sale of AltaLink is complex, but given that Alberta’s ratepayers are the primary investors in this deal, the current proposal to sell AltaLink to MidAmerican should be denied on the premise that this is a very bad deal for the rate-paying public! No private investor would ever invest in a project or business and not expect a return for that investment. Why should the rate-paying public be treated any different? The solution is to retender the sale of AltaLink

and resources instill a sense of pride and make us the envy of people around the world. Maybe we take our good fortune for granted. But we shouldn’t. Already, environmental hazards contribute to about 36,000 premature deaths in Canada a year, and half of us live in areas where we’re exposed to unsafe air pollution levels. Pollution costs Canada about $100 billion a year, and many people suffer from illnesses like asthma and heart disease because of environmental contamination. As the rush to extract, transport and sell fossil fuels while there’s still a market heats up, it will only get worse — unless we all pitch in. It’s not about getting in the way of industry or progress; it’s about building a conversation about the kind of country we want. And it’s about ensuring that our economic activity creates more benefits than harm to people and the natural systems that keep us healthy and alive. We hope you’ll join us.

If a foreign company wins the bid, so be it! But, under no circumstance should a foreign company own infrastructure deemed critical to our economy. If AltaLink is to be owned by a foreign company, they should be required to sell the critical infrastructure to a Canadian-owned company. Most importantly, profits from the sale should be allocated based on a formula that is fair and just to all investors. Joe Anglin MLA Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Rimbey

Who speaks at energy hearings? PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO RELEASE DOCUMENTS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Alberta government has refused to release documents on its decisions about who gets to speak at public hearings on energy development. The issue of public input has generated increasing concern and at least one court case. The Canadian Press filed a freedomof-information request nine months ago seeking paperwork on the eligibility of groups or individuals to address Alberta Energy Regulator hearings. The request yielded 260 pages of correspondence, reports and briefing notes. Every page was blank. “A package consisting of 260 pages with no disclosure” is how Alberta Environment’s freedom-of-information office described the release in a letter received by the news agency last week. The request was made after a

Queen’s Bench judge ruled in late 2013 that the department wrongly refused to grant an environmental coalition the right to appear at a hearing into a proposed oilsands development. The judge concluded that documents from a disclosure hearing suggested the group was shut out because of its critical stance on the oilsands. Since that ruling, environmental groups and First Nations have been denied standing to speak at public hearings at least nine times. In one case, hearings on a proposed oilsands expansion were cancelled after six groups that had asked to speak were turned down. The issue has spread beyond energy regulation. On June 25, the office of the province’s consumer advocate was turned down after it asked to address an Alberta Utilities Commission hearing into alleged electricity price manipulation. That same month, two aboriginal

bands took the government to court after they were refused standing at Alberta Energy Regulator hearings. Legal experts have voiced public concerns about what they call a restriction on public input. The judge in the case that brought the issue to light urged the government to draw its circle of consultation as wide as possible. Alberta Environment says the rules haven’t changed, even though many of those shut out had previously been routinely granted the right to address hearing panels. Wade Clark, director of policy and regulatory alignment for both Alberta Environment and Alberta Energy, said all documents were kept secret because they could reveal how legislation creating the new energy regulator was developed. “What I’m referring to there are the various drafts of the legislation,” he said. “That’s the type of thing that’s routinely not disclosed.

“As I interpreted the request, it related more to the deliberations during that time frame, which related to the (new) regulations and rules.” No officials during the time the request was under consideration suggested that interpretation to The Canadian Press. No attempt was made to clarify the request, although the news agency contacted the government numerous times to check its progress. Clark suggested the ruling could be reconsidered. “I think we could sit down and work out the wording (of the question).” Rachel Notley, environment critic for the New Democrats, said the difficulty in getting information on how important decisions are made is typical of the governing Tories. “Only in Conservative Alberta would a public body, tasked with consulting the public, in public, keep its rules around how to do that secret,” she said.

Officers warn about drug use overdose at festival BY THE CANADIAN PRESS PENTICTON, B.C. — Officers issued a warning about drug use after the early Saturday morning death of a concertgoer at the Boonstock Music and Arts Festival in Penticton. RCMP say a 24-year-old woman from Leduc, Alberta, was taken to hospital from the event grounds and declared dead from a suspected drug overdose. Police say there were at least a dozen others being treated for overdoses in the wards, and two people were in critical condition. Officers will not release the woman’s name until they notify her relatives. Boonstock organizers offered their condolences to the woman’s family and thanked guests and security who helped first responders. Barb Haynes, the director of operations at the festival, says the event will continue as scheduled but declined further comment, instead referring to a statement made by organizers Saturday afternoon.

“The culture of a music festival is one that provides a place where everyone belongs, is welcomed and watches out for one another,” Boonstock officials wrote in a Facebook post. “We would like to acknowledge our medical team, security team and guests who were quick to find help and assist emergency responders.” “Lastly, and most important, we send our condolences to the family and loved ones of this young woman. We are deeply saddened by this news and send our thoughts and prayers.” The death has made officers worried about drug use at the festival. Const. Kris Clark wrote in a statement Penticton RCMP are concerned more people could die if concertgoers fail to take care of their health. “Police are asking all Boonstock attendees to refrain from ingesting unknown substances and to ensure that they remain hydrated in the hot, dry, dusty conditions of the event grounds,” he wrote. It is easier for people to overdose when they are dehydrated and have mixed drugs with alcohol.

Free shipping anyone? MORE RETAILERS GOING THE EXTRA MILE FOR CONSUMER DOLLARS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — When Walmart Canada introduced free shipping on all online purchases last year, it was a clear message to its rivals that it was gearing up for a fight. Craig Patterson, an analyst who runs the online news magazine Retail Insider, said the move by one of the world’s largest retailers was bold, setting a new standard in going the extra mile for consumer dollars. “This means war. It’s a declaration of war, no question,” he said from Vancouver. For the last few years, a battle has been waging among retailers trying to set themselves apart, as entrants such as U.S. giants Target and Nordstrom arrive to compete for the same customers. “What this comes down to is building trust with the customer,” said Patterson. “Walmart knows that if they offer free shipping, they are coming out punching. When someone like Walmart does it, there is going to be scramble from other retailers to see how they can compete either by adding extra value, better customer service.” While a behemoth retailer like Walmart may be able to absorb the costs of shipping, it would be a challenging task for smaller retailers to be able to offer the same without raising prices, he said. The head of e-commerce at Walmart Canada says

QUESNEL

it wanted to offer a seamless transition between online and in-store shopping by eliminating any minimum purchase requirement. “It’s not about an e-commerce channel, or about a store channel anymore,” said Simon Rodrigue, vice-president and general manager of Walmart.ca. “It’s really about the customer in the middle. If they want to buy online, if they want to buy on the phone, if they want to buy in store, we want to make sure we’re servicing them.” Retailers have long struggled with free shipping in Canada, given the size of the country and the cost of shipping quickly to remote areas. The compromise, it seems, is to offer free shipping on minimum purchases, which can offset some of those costs. Rodrigue said Walmart’s ability to offer free shipping to 97 per cent of the country, and even free next-day shipping to most big cities, has helped it lure customers who either didn’t know they could purchase online the same items found in the store, or were reluctant to try shopping on the website. The Walmart Canada website now lists more than 175,000 items and gets about 400,000 visitors a day. Next month, Walmart is preparing to launch its new click and collect service, which allows Ontario customers to buy items online and pick them up - with a special access code - from lockers at 10 designated stores or at the company’s head office. Last month, online retailer Amazon announced that it was offering unlimited free shipping for six

months to students in Canada through its Amazon Prime Program. After that, students pay half price for the annual service, which is regularly $79.99 in Canada. “We designed this by thinking about our customers and finding a segment of our customers that have interesting needs that we can fulfil,” said Alexandre Gagnon, country manager for Amazon.ca. The offer is aimed at students who live in residences or dormitories, who usually don’t have access to transportation, but still need regular deliveries of groceries, household items and stationary supplies. The hope is that the service will be so valuable that these students will turn into long-time customers. Gagnon said Canadian consumers are coming to expect low-cost and free shipping with their purchases, but they still expect retailers to offer the whole package: a wide product selection, competitive prices and excellent customer service. With more consumers opting to shop on their mobile phones, tablets and laptops, retailers are quickly realizing that they must be able to offer the same kind of experience online that customers receive instore, said marketing strategist Brynn Winegard. “It’s a growing expectation among consumers, especially around heavy shopping times like Christmas, that there’s free shipping,” she said. “Everyone’s busy so it becomes increasingly required and valuable for retailers to give them their time back and online shopping is a way to permit that.”

Water ban imposed after tailings pond breached BY THE CANADIAN PRESS QUESNEL, B.C. — Authorities are expanding a water-use ban to include the Quesnel and Cariboo Rivers up to the Fraser River after a tailings pond southeast of Quesnel was breached, sending millions of cubic metres of waste water into nearby roads and waterways. An initial ban advised all residents living around the Mount Polley mine area, near the town of Likely, to use only bottled water until further notice. The advisory affected hundreds of people living around Quesnel Lake, Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Cariboo Creek. The ban has since been expanded to include anyone living along the Quesnel and Cariboo Rivers. Authorities are asking people in the region to stop using water from both rivers. Those areas are sparsely populated and the Cariboo Regional District has not determined how many people have been affected. People in Quesnel are also being asked to avoid using water from the Quesnel River. The ban does not apply to people in Williams Lake or other towns along the Fraser River. Authorities had previously said Likely was not directly affected, because it was unclear how many people in the town used water from Quesnel Lake. But since then, the Cariboo Regional District has decided to start delivering water to Likely because the main supplier of bottled water in the area, a small grocery store, could not keep up with the demand.

Protesters holding “Arthur T” signs taunt an occupant of a car driving into a Market Basket Supermarket job fair in Andover, Mass., Monday. The company set up a job fair for its workers to replace colleagues who walked off the job to protest the firing of CEO Arthur T. Demoulas. Executives at the troubled Market Basket supermarket chain in New England stepped up their efforts to fight back against a workers’ revolt and customer boycott that have paralyzed the company and drawn attention for their unusual demand to reinstate the previous CEO.

Cottages not necessarily a cheap investment The dog days of summer bring with them many activities and pleasures, including time with family and friends at the cottage. Canadians have always had a love affair with the cottage — a place to get away, relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city and our daily working lives. That retreat, however, has some very real costs associated with it that people should be aware of before signing on the dotted line to buy their little slice of paradise. Canadians generally are TALBOT optimistic about the recreBOGGS ational property market and are feeling a sense of urgency to buy while interest rates remain historically low, according to the latest Royal LePage survey on recreational properties in Canada. Cottages are not necessarily cheap investments. The average cost of a 1,000-square-foot, three-bedroom cottage on a 100-foot waterfront lot can range anywhere from $177,500 to $625,000, depending on the location. But the cost can soar into the millions of dollars in prime areas in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. Lakeside property in particular has appreciated in value, which may sound great but in fact may not be as great as it sounds. “Lakeside property value has skyrocketed in the last 30 years, with the once-affordable cottage now considered a luxury,” said Christine Van Cauwenberghe, assistant vice-president of tax and estate planning with Investors Group. “Any gain in value sure sounds like a win but in fact it could be a capital gain — the difference between what you sell it for

MONEYWISE

and the cost to purchase the property, plus capital expenses — which is taxable and could be quite costly for you and your family members in the future.” If you own two homes, you will have to decide which home you’re going to designate as your principal residence. Capital appreciation on your principal residence is tax-free, but you pay capital gains tax on 50 per cent of the appreciation on your nonprincipal residence. The Canada Revenue Agency’s definition of a principal residence is relatively straightforward and precise. A family unit, which consists of the taxpayer, spouse or common-law partner and any children under the age of 18, can designate one property per year as its primary residence. The principal residence exemption allows them to claim a capital gains exemption for some or all of the years they lived in the home. The decision can come down to whether the cottage has appreciated in value more in relation to the city home. In some areas of the country, waterfront property may have appreciated more than the city, in which case it might make sense to designate the cottage as your principal residence. Vacation property insurance is not the same as insurance on your primary home. Cottage policies tend to be more expensive due to increased risk. Costs will depend on the location of the property and whether it is accessible all during the year. There are other insurance costs you need to be aware of, such as purchasing a life insurance D policy to cover the mortI gage or offset any tax on L capital gains your benB eficiaries would be left E with upon your death. R T Many cottage owners rent out their cottages

for a few weeks in the summer to cover costs. You should disclose this to your insurer so they can make sure you’re covered for any damage which might be incurred during the period of rental. As well, regular mortgage rules do not always apply for cottage properties. Your lender will need to know the condition of the cottage and accessibility to the property and may not be willing to take on the financial risk associated with a rustic island cottage. And there also are ongoing expenses to consider when purchasing a second property. “If your cottage is not within a reasonable distance, will you need to hire a maintenance company?” Van Cauwenberghe asks. “With cottages being in remote areas that are quiet during the winter months, they are more susceptible to break-ins and theft. Cottage owners wanting to protect their property when they are not there might consider installing a security system, which would add another monthly cost. “To fully understand the options available to you it’s important to sit down with your financial adviser.” Talbot Boggs is a Toronto-based business communications professional who has worked with national news organizations, magazines and corporations in the finance, retail, manufacturing and other industrial sectors.

Nation marks 100th anniversary of WWI BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper marked the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War on Monday, crediting the conflict, despite its terrible loss of life, as an essential part of Canada’s development as a nation. “Amid the appalling loss, by any measure, Canada as a truly independent country was forged in the fires of the First World War,” Harper told a military crowd gathered at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. Canada’s involvement in the war began a century ago when Britain declared war against Germany. The First World War became a critical turning point for a country not even 50 years old when the conflict erupted in Europe. Canadian battlefield triumphs in Ypres, Vimy and Passchendaele spurred a deep sense of national pride and a belief that Canada could stand on its own, separate from Britain, on the international stage. The conflict also saw Canada supporting allies whose sovereignty and very existence were threatened, Harper said, adding Canadians still do so. “It is why today, we stand once again beside friends and allies whose sovereignty, whose territorial integrity — indeed, whose very freedoms and existence — are still at risk,” Harper said in a veiled reference to Canada’s tough stands in support of Ukraine and Israel. “Nothing has changed. For our Canada is still loyal to our friends, unyielding to our foes, honourable in our dealings, and courageous in our undertakings. This remains the character of our country.” Harper also announced the expansion of the honour guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial near Parliament Hill. Sentries will now be stationed there from April 9, the Vimy Ridge anniversary, until Nov. 11, Remembrance Day. Earlier Monday, Harper visited the war memorial, where he inspected a ceremonial guard and laid a wreath at the tomb. Two replicas of First World Warera SE5 biplanes flew overhead, while Parks Canada volunteers dressed in wartime military and nurses’ uniforms were on hand on a sweltering morning. In all, about 620,000 Canadians enlisted during the First World War and about 419,000 went overseas. More than 60,000 never came home, perishing in the war. “This great conflict on the other side of an ocean need not have involved us,” Harper said. “But then, as now, when our friends and the values we share with them are threatened, Canadians do not turn away.”

Prime Minister Stephen Harper pauses for a moment after he laid a wreath at the National War Memorial during a ceremony to mark the 100th Anniversary of the First World War, in Ottawa, Monday. A century later, Harper said, the world still grapples with the dreadful toll of the conflict. “We have had 100 years to contemplate this war,” he said. “And yet what it means to live mired in muck and disease, to fight through mud deep enough to drown a man, to lose thousands of lives in a single day, to gain what could be measured in yards ... the sense of these things eludes us still. We can only imagine their fear, their courage.” Harper paid tribute by name to several of the Canadian heroes of the conflict. “The last survivor of those courageous men and

women who went off to war a century ago — John Babcock — passed away in 2010,” Harper said. “But every time that we take a stand to defend the values for which they fought, and for which so many died, we remember their stories in the only way that really matters. “Justice and freedom; democracy and the rule of law; human rights and human dignity. For a century, these are the things for which our fellow citizens fought. And this is the ground on which we will always take our stand.” Monday’s anniversary was also marked in a number of cities across the country.

Convicted murderer caught in Quebec City after five days on the lam

Iqaluit’s request for cash aid delaying douse of dump fire: territory

QUEBEC — A convicted murderer who escaped from a minimum-security prison near Montreal last week has been caught. Robert Gaudette was arrested without incident Sunday evening on a downtown Quebec City sidewalk. Gaudette, 55, appeared briefly in court Monday and was to be transferred to Laval, north of Montreal. He is expected to be arraigned on Wednesday on a charge related to his escape. Gaudette made off from the Federal Training Centre in Laval last Tuesday, with sources saying he hopped out of a window in his room. He had been behind bars since receiving a life sentence in 2002 for the second-degree murder of his wife, Cindy Bouchard. Gaudette was set to have a parole hearing soon.

IQALUIT, Nunavut — A Nunavut official says a plan to douse Iqaluit’s dump fire which has been curling northern nostrils for months has been delayed by the city’s attempt to get someone else to pay for it. “Obviously, yes,” said Darren Flynn of the Community and Government Services Department. “The city has taken the approach that they want somebody else to pay for it and I think they were waiting to see if somebody else would pay for it. “For me to say it hasn’t delayed it, that wouldn’t be accurate at all.” The fire, dubbed the “dumpcano,” has been fouling air with chemicals that include known toxins since May 20. City and territorial officials are considering a $2.4-million plan to finally extinguish the blaze. The city has asked for financial aid. A meeting that was to be held between city, territorial and federal officials on Friday to discuss the plan was cancelled. The territory then hand-delivered a letter to city officials that pointed out the various options Iqaluit has for financing the fire fight with its own funds. The city has $7.5 million in unrestricted reserves it could use, the letter says. “Maybe they’ve identified other purposes (for that money),” said Flynn. “But if you were saving for a car and along the way the furnace goes in your house, you’re obviously going to change your budget. “All we’re saying to the city is that you may need to adjust some of your priorities.” Iqaluit officials did not return requests for comment.

Emergency crews scramble to contain small chemical spill in Quebec KINGSEY FALLS, Que. — Environmental emergency workers have been deployed after a chemical spill in the Quebec town of Kingsey Falls. About 500 litres of an industrial bleach splashed onto soil and into the southwest branch of the Nicolet River when a container tipped over at Cascades Inc.’s Norampac plant. Cascades spokesman Hugo D’Amours explained that the container smashed in the factory’s yard and about half of its contents were released. D’Amours said emergency measures were imme-

REGINA — The company that manufactures the electricity meters that are being replaced in Saskatchewan due to fires is defending its equipment. Sensus, the North Carolina-based company whose smart meters have been linked to eight fires in Saskatchewan homes, says in a news release it has conducted lab tests and site inspections at the recent incidents. It says the results so far indicate that some of the fires were caused by holes in the meter boxes that allowed water in, or by power surges. It also says a “hot socket” that occurred where the meter is plugged into a home’s utility base played a role in one of the incidents. The condition can result from of a poor connection between the meter and the home’s socket, and background material supplied by the company suggests sockets need to be checked for wear or corrosion before meters are installed. Saskatchewan’s Crown Investments Corp. has been asked to investigate and SaskPower is conducting an internal review after the province ordered 105,000 of the utility meters to be removed from homes last week. Sensus stressed the “critical importance” of careful meter installation, including the examination of meter boxes and wiring. It also said meter installers need to be properly trained and that fast action is needed when problems are first detected. “Safety is our number one priority and all Sensus meters go through rigorous testing and meet or exceed industry safety standards,” Sensus president Randy Bays said in the news release. “I have been personally involved with our customers and Sensus quality and engineering teams as we work to collect fact-based and data-driven information on these specific incidents.” A smart meter records consumption of energy in small intervals and can relay the information electronically to a utilities company. It eliminates the need to estimate bills when a meter reader can’t do an on-site check.

BRIEF Death toll from Ebola outbreak hits 887 ABUJA, Nigeria — Authorities in Nigeria on Monday announced a second case of Ebola in Africa’s most populous country, an alarming setback as the total death toll from the disease in several West Africa countries shot up by more than 150 to 887. Most of the newly reported deaths occurred in Liberia, where on Monday night a special plane to evacuate a second American missionary who fell ill with Ebola landed in the capital. Nancy Writebol is expected to arrive in Atlanta on Tuesday, where she will be treated at a special isolation ward. Health authorities in Liberia ordered that all those who die from Ebola be cremated after communities resisted having the bodies buried nearby. Over the weekend, military police were called in after people tried to block health authorities in the West African nation from burying 22 bodies on the outskirts of the capital, Monrovia. The World Health Organization announced Monday that the death toll has increased from 729 to 887 deaths in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria. Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said the confirmed second case in his country is a doctor who had helped treat Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American man who died July 25 days after arriving in Nigeria from Liberia. Test samples are pending for three other people who also treated Sawyer and now have shown symptoms of Ebola, he said. Authorities are trying to trace and quarantine others. “Hopefully by the end of today we should have the results of their own tests,” Chukwu said. The emergence of a second case raises serious concerns about the infection control practices in Nigeria, and also raises the spectre that more cases could emerge. It can take up to 21 days after exposure to the virus for symptoms to appear. They include fever, sore throat, muscle pains and headaches. Often nausea, vomiting and diarrhea follow, along with severe internal and external bleeding in advanced stages of the disease.

Prosecutor in contested Texas execution faces scrutiny DALLAS — A non-profit group on Monday accused the prosecutor in the case of a Texas man executed for the fire deaths of his three daughters of trying to cover up a jailhouse informant’s recantation. The New York-based Innocence Project, which investigates potential wrongful convictions, said it had filed a state bar grievance against John H. Jackson, a former prosecutor and judge who oversaw the case against Cameron Todd Willingham.s Willingham was executed in 2004 for killing his three daughters in a house fire in Corsicana. The project has long pursued Willingham’s case for evidence suggesting that Texas wrongfully executed him. State officials have maintained that they still believe he was guilty of murder. A key witness in the case was inmate Johnny Webb, who testified that while in jail awaiting trial, Willingham confessed to Webb that he had killed the girls. In its latest grievance filing, dated July 25, the Innocence Project reiterated allegations that Jackson lied about getting Webb a lighter sentence on a robbery case. It also accuses Jackson and a local wealthy rancher in Corsicana of working to conceal Webb’s change of heart, which occurred years before Willingham’s execution. The Innocence Project accused Jackson of hiding a handwritten letter written by Webb in 2000 that was titled “Motion to Recant Testimony.” Attorneys on the case have said they found the letter years after Willingham’s death.

Five-year-old loses re-election to teenager as mayor of tiny tourist town in northern Minnesota DORSET, Minn. — A 5-year-old boy’s run as mayor is over in a tiny tourist town in northern Minnesota. Robert “Bobby” Tufts lost his bid for a third consecutive term as mayor of Dorset on Sunday. Sixteen-year-old Eric Mueller (MYOO’-lur) of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, won when his name was drawn from the ballot box during the annual Taste of Dorset festival. Bobby was only 3 when he was first elected mayor in 2013. Dorset, about 150 miles northwest of Minneapolis, has no formal city government and a population ranging from nine to 28. One of Bobby’s major acts was to declare ice cream top of the food pyramid. Eric, the new mayor, was prompted to run after eating five fried ice creams at one sitting. He’ll be a high school junior this fall.

Rescuers carry an injured man during a rescue operation following Sunday’s earthquake in Ludian county of Zhaotong city in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, Monday. Rescuers dug through shattered homes Monday looking for survivors of the strong earthquake that killed hundreds and injured more than a thousand people.

Earthquake kills 398 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KUNMING, China — Rescuers found scores of survivors on Monday as they dug through homes shattered by an earthquake in southern China that killed at least 398 people and injured more than 1,800. Rainstorms were expected to continue to hinder rescue efforts over the coming days. About 12,000 homes collapsed when the quake struck Sunday afternoon in impoverished Ludian county, around 370 kilometres (230 miles) northeast of Yunnan province’s capital, Kunming, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. Rescuers digging in the debris by hand freed a 5-year-old boy whose legs were injured, Xinhua reported. It also said firefighters rescued 32 people who had been trapped but had retrieved the bodies of 43 residents.

Drenched survivors, including some half-naked, were sitting along muddy roads in the rain waiting for food and medication, Xinhua reported. Medics were reporting severe shortages of medicine and an inability to perform operations on the severely injured, while rescuers said their work had been hampered by continuous downpours and quake-triggered landslides, Xinhua said. Ma Yaoqi, an 18-year-old volunteer in the quake zone, said by phone that at least half of the buildings had collapsed on the road from the city centre of Zhaotong to the hardest-hit town of Longtou. The rest of the buildings were damaged, she said. “I saw dead bodies being wrapped in quilts and carried away,” said Ma, who arrived with 20 other volunteers Monday. “Some were wrapped with small quilts. Those must be kids.” Overhead footage of the quake zone

shot by state broadcaster CCTV showed older houses flattened but newer multistory buildings still standing. The magnitude-6.1 quake struck at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday at a depth of 10 kilometres (6 miles), according to the U.S. Geological Survey. China’s earthquake monitoring agency put the magnitude at 6.5. The central government has allocated 600 million yuan ($97 million) for rescue and relief work after the quake, the Finance Ministry said. Dozens of trucks carrying paramilitary troops with banners declaring “Help is on the way” travelled along the four-lane highway from Kunming to Zhaotong on Monday evening. Heavy rain and thunderstorms in the area were complicating efforts to bring tents, water, food and other relief supplies to survivors. Roads had caved in, and rescuers were forced to travel on foot.

Gun control advocate dies JAMES BRADY WOUNDED IN REAGAN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — James Brady, the affable, witty press secretary who survived a devastating head wound in the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan and undertook a personal crusade for gun control, died Monday. He was 73. “We are heartbroken to share the news that our beloved Jim ”Bear“ Brady has passed away after a series of health issues,” Brady’s family said in a statement. “His wife, Sarah, son, Scott, and daughter, Missy, are so thankful to have had the opportunity to say their farewells.” Brady, who spent much of the rest of his life in a wheelchair, died at a retirement community in suburban Alexandria, Virginia, where he lived with his wife. He suffered a bullet wound to his head in the assassination attempt outside the Washington Hilton Hotel on March 30, 1981. Although he returned to the White House only briefly, he was allowed to keep the title of presidential press secretary and his White House salary until Reagan left office in January 1989. Former first lady Nancy Reagan said she was “deeply saddened to learn of Jim Brady’s passing today. Thinking of him brings back so many memories — happy and sad — of a time in all of our lives when we learned what it means to ’play the hand we’re dealt.”’ “I still remember vividly that day in March 1981, when Sarah and I sat

together in a tiny room near the emergency room at George Washington University Hospital, trying to comfort each other while we both were gripped with unspeakable fear,” Mrs. Reagan said. “The bond we established then was unlike any other.” A federal law requiring a background check on handgun buyers bears his name, as does the White House press briefing room. President Barack Obama described Brady as a White House legend, who turned “the events of that terrible afternoon into a remarkable legacy of service.” Thanks to Brady and the law bearing his name, “an untold number of people are alive today who otherwise wouldn’t be,” the president said in a statement. Josh Earnest, Obama’s press secretary, said Brady “showed his patriotism and commitment to the country by being very outspoken on an issue that was important to him and that he felt very strongly about.” Of the four people struck by gunfire in the assassination attempt by John Hinckley Jr. — later found to be insane — Brady was the most seriously wounded. A news clip of the shooting, replayed often on television, showed Brady sprawled on the ground as Secret Service agents hustled the wounded president into his limousine. Reagan was shot in one lung while a policeman and a Secret Service agent suffered lesser wounds. Brady never regained full health. The shooting caused brain damage, partial paralysis, short-term memory

impairment, slurred speech and constant pain. The TV replays of the shooting did take a toll on Brady, however. He told The Associated Press years later that he relived the moment each time he saw it: “I want to take every bit of (that) film ... and put them in a cement incinerator, slosh them with gasoline and throw a lighted cigarette in.” With remarkable courage, he endured a series of brain operations in the years after the shooting. On Nov. 28, 1995, while he was in an oral surgeon’s office, Brady’s heart stopped beating and he was taken to a hospital. His wife, Sarah, credited the oral surgeon and his staff with saving Brady’s life. Brady remained as transition spokesman after Reagan’s election. But his advisers appeared hesitant to give Brady the White House spokesman’s job. Mrs. Reagan was said to feel the job required someone younger and better-looking than the 40-year-old, moon-faced, balding Brady. “I come before you today not as just another pretty face, but out of sheer talent,” Brady told reporters. A week later, he got the job. He was divorced from the former Sue Beh when, in 1973, he courted Sarah Jane Kemp, the daughter of an FBI agent who was working with him in a congressional office. Sarah Brady became involved in gun-control efforts in 1985, and later chaired Handgun Control Inc., but Brady took a few more years to join her.

Israel accepts Egyptian cease-fire plan BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM — Israel and Hamas on Monday accepted an Egyptian cease-fire proposal meant to halt a monthlong war, signalling an end to the bloodiest round of fighting between the bitter enemies could finally be approaching. The sides said a preliminary 72-hour truce was to begin at 8 a.m. (0500 GMT) Tuesday. Egypt was then set to host indirect talks to work out a long-term truce over the next three days. A delegation of Palestinian officials from various factions, includ-

ing Hamas, has been negotiating with Egypt in recent days. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said the group had accepted the plan. “It’s clear now that the interest of all parties is to have a cease-fire,” said Bassam Salhi, a member of the Palestinian delegation. “It’s going to be tough negotiations because Israel has demands too.” The war broke out on July 8 when Israel launched an air campaign in response to heavy rocket fire out of Hamas-controlled Gaza. Israel expanded the operation by sending in ground forces on July 17 in what it described as a mission to destroy a network of

tunnels used by Hamas militants to stage attacks. The army said it is close to destroying the last of the tunnels. Several previous cease-fires have collapsed, including a similar plan for a 72-hour truce that broke down last Friday in heavy fighting. Both sides blamed each other. An Israeli official said Israel would respect the cease-fire, but that it was watching the negotiations “with a certain amount of skepticism” given the previous failures. He spoke on condition of anonymity pending a formal announcement by the Israeli government.

Johnson tackling new challenges sister of Blue (Julia Stiles), a single mom who secretly works as an upscale escort. The sister is played by Stiles’ real-life sibling, Jane O’Hara. “It’s the first bi(sexual) character I’ve played, and I took that pretty seriously,� said Johnson, 27, by phone from Vancouver. “She’s definitely got some issues. There’s stuff about her that we don’t really know.� The enigmatic nature of her character leaves a lot to be explored, and Johnson is hoping to return next season. “It’s just fun playing a character that’s so different from anything I’ve played and also just so different from me,� she said. “It was really challenging and I wanted it to be super authentic. “It’s kind of scary sometimes going to unknown territory, and there’s a responsibility working with such amazing actors that I really took it on and it was a blast.� Blue is from Emmy-nominated director and screenwriter Rodrigo Garcia, who helmed the 2011 film Albert Nobbs and developed the HBO drama In Treatment.�

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — She’s won a Gemini Award, released several albums and been on a slew of series, but when Alexz Johnson signed on to play a Los Angeles musician on the digital drama Blue, she felt like she was back at Square 1. “On Venice Beach, there’s an episode where I’m performing a cover song . . . and they plugged my amp in and they just had me play on the street,� said the British Columbia native. “They hid the cameras so people couldn’t see that it’s a film set, so I had to just pretend that I was busking.� “I was hoping a friend wouldn’t walk by or something and go, ‘Alex, wow, things aren’t going well!�’ she added with a laugh. The singer-songwriter-actress rose to fame playing a teenaged music competition winner on the Canadian series Instant Star that ran from 2004-08. She earned three Gemini nominations for the part, winning one. She joined Blue for its third season, which recently started streaming along with the first two seasons on CTV EXTEND at CTV.ca and on the CTV GO app. Her hippy character is dating the

Guardians rockets to top of box office character within their universe,” Dergarabedian said. “The mere mention of the name Marvel is enough to get people into the movie theatre. That’s somewhat rare. Pixar obviously has a similar cachet, but for Marvel to have four films this year open with over $90 million is amazing. It’s unprecedented success.” In a distant second place, Lucy, starring Scarlett Johansson as a woman with mind-bending powers, nabbed $18.3 million in its second weekend, bringing the Universal Pictures release’s domestic total to $80 million. Meanwhile, Universal’s James Brown biopic Get on Up featuring Chadwick Boseman as the soulful singer opened in third place with $14 million.

STORY FROM PAGE A9

JOHNSON: A musician first and foremost Johnson, who calls herself “a musician first and foremost,” said she got the part after Garcia saw her perform with a band in Los Angeles and met with her for coffee to ask her to be on the show. She relished the chance to contribute songs to the soundtrack, like she did on “Instant Star.” The short shoot also fit in well with her touring schedule, and she was intrigued by the idea of working in what she calls “the new wave of TV.” Being in the burgeoning world of web TV and taking on a very different character are but a couple of the fresh starts Johnson has had lately. Now living in Brooklyn, she’s found support amongst other musicians, the “broke, talented people who are willing to do favours,” she said with a laugh. Johnson also recently signed with United Talent Agency and is putting the finishing touches on a new album she hopes to release this fall. She describes it as “kind of like folk-soul, definitely some pop elements, but just a more independent feel.” “My influences are much more throwback, Fleetwood Mac and Annie Lennox and Kate Bush and stuff like that,” said Johnson. “So it’s quite eclectic, I hope, but very different than anything I’ve played from ’Instant Star.”’

Johnson pledge-funded the album and raised enough money to record at New York’s Avatar Studios with producer David Kahne, who’s worked with artists including Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks and Lana Del Rey. “I’m super proud of it,” said Johnson, noting she and her management team are trying to figure out the best way to distribute the album. “I feel like signing a major deal, which I’ve done in the past, isn’t really the be all and end all anymore. I feel like it’s more about having control and building a fanbase authentically. So for me it’s just touring, playing. It’s just going to take time, and I’m totally fine with that.”

LOS ANGELES — Guardians of the Galaxy blasted past expectations at the weekend box office. Marvel Studios’ cosmic romp starring Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana as members of an intergalactic band of rebels earned $94 million in its debut weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Ahead of its Friday debut, box office analysts initially projected that the comic book adaptation would earn between $60 million and $75 million in North America. The launch gives Guardians the biggest opening for an August film, a record previously held by the $69.2 million debut of 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum. It also makes Guardians the third largest opening of 2014, coming behind the $95 million inauguration of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the $100 million launch of Transformers: Age of Extinction. Guardians also features Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel voicing the computer-generated characters Rocket Raccoon and Groot. The movie originally was considered a risky proposition for Marvel and Guardians distributor Walt Disney Co. because it features more obscure characters from the Marvel universe and is set almost entirely in outer space. Despite any apprehension, Marvel was betting on Guardians, written and directed by James Gunn, to be a blockbuster. The studio announced at Comic-Con in San Diego last month that

Rampage roll to first provincial title BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF

LACROSSE

Rampage 11, Chill 3 Mitch Vellner was not about to let a separated shoulder slow him down in the biggest game of his lacrosse career. The graduating Red Deer Rampage player scored three times and added an assist in the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Junior B Tier I Provincial championship to beat the Calgary Chill 11-3 for the franchise’s first title. Davis Reykdal and Reid Swier also had two goals and an assist for Red Deer, while Connor Hartley had one goal and three assists, Ryan Beatson one goal and two assists, Cole deFraaf one goal and an assist and Pearce Just one goal. Spencer Lee added two assists. Jake Foster scored twice and Joe Geib once for the Chill. The win punches the Rampage’s ticket to the Founders Cup — the Canadian Lacrosse Association’s junior B national championship — in Halifax from Aug. 18-24. “It was a goal we had four years ago,” said Red Deer head coach Ron Just of when he came on board with Scott Gresham. “We’ve always felt that Central Alberta turns out some of the best lacrosse players in the province. We’ve always felt that we had the talent and the ability to win it all. It’s taken us a year or two longer than what we hoped but we fully expected this year’s team was fully capable of what we did last night. It’s just a good feeling, it’s good to see them achieve what we always knew they were capable of.” The Rampage advanced to the final by sweeping the round robin portion of the tournament in Calgary. They opened with a 12-9 win over the Saskatchewan SWAT on Friday, then came back to beat the Calgary Jr. Mountaineers 11-7 and the Chill 7-6 on Saturday. The three wins gave Red Deer a bye into the final while Chill played the Jr. Mountaineers in the provincial semifinal, winning 11-10 on Sunday afternoon. The Chill had just three hours of downtime between the semifinal and the final, and the Rampage took full advantage.

After a close opening 20 minutes, Red Deer leaned on the Chill hard over the final 40 minutes and took over the game. Red Deer goalie Rhett Baldwin was outstanding early and earned player of the game honours in the final. “It was a close first period, but we knew if we could pressure them and if we could start to build a lead, we were pretty sure they would break, because it’s awfully tough to be playing a second game on the day,” said Just. “The way we played Friday and Saturday, we earned that first place spot, then we took advantage of it.” Key to the Rampage though, was Vellner’s production in the deciding game. Vellner had two goals and two assists in the opening game, but just one assist in their win over the Mountaineers. He bounced back with a goal and two assists in their final round robin game before dominating in the title-deciding tilt. “We needed him to break out for us and score from the other side of the floor,” said Just, “He had been playing with a bad shoulder for the last couple of weeks, it’s really been bothering him, and he had a great game for us.” Now the Rampage have two weeks to prepare for the national championship. For one, the team will be looking for financial support to get to Halifax. While they will receive some money from the RMLL, the Alberta Lacrosse Association and the Red Deer Lacrosse Association, it will not cover all of their costs. “For some of the guys on the team, a trip to Halifax is a big financial commitment, so we are going to be working hard this week to make that as manageable as possible for all of these guys,” said Just. No Red Deer junior B team has ever made it to this stage of play, but they do have an idea what is in store for them at the Founder’s Cup. The tournament is usually dominated by Ontario and the Six Nations entries, but Just is confident a top three finish is within reach.

Canada’s Michelle Li poses with her gold medal after her victory over Scotland’s Kirsty Gilmour at the end of their women’s single’s Badminton match at the Emirates Arena during the Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2014, in Glasgow, Scotland, Sunday.

Canada climbs back onto medal podium at Commonwealth Games BY THE CANADIAN PRESS GLASGOW — A Commonwealth Games that began with an oft-injured Kirsten Sweetland racing to silver in the triathlon ended with Michelle Li capturing an historic badminton gold medal on Sunday. And in between, Canada racked up more medals than it did four years ago in New Delhi, India, and climbed back onto its traditional place on the Commonwealth medal podium. “Mission accomplished,” said the Canadian team’s general manager Scott Stevenson. Canada finished a solid third at the Games behind traditional powerhouses England and Australia, winning 82 medals — 32 gold, 16 silver, 34 bronze. Four years ago in India, Canada claimed 76 medals to finish fourth, kept off the medal podium for the first time since 1962. “What we were really pleased with is that we closed the gap a little bit (on England and Australia),” Stevenson said. “Not just us, some of the other nations as well. We all took a little bite out of those two big guns, and we’re pretty

proud of that. Not just in total medals but also in gold medals.” England topped the medal table with 174, while the Aussies wound up second with 137. Sultana Frizell of Perth, Ont., was chosen to carry Canada’s flag into Sunday night’s closing ceremonies, days after she won gold in the hammer throw, breaking the Commonwealth record three times in the process. Frizell led a strong Canadian track and field team that claimed 17 medals at storied Hampden Park, highlighted by Damian Warner’s victory in the decathlon, Derek Drouin’s high jump gold medal, and Brianne Theisen-Eaton and Jessica Zelinka finishing 1-2 in the heptathlon. Cam Levins won bronze in a thrilling 10,000-metre race, and the picture of the 25-yearold powering down the homestretch in the lead will be one of the enduring images of these Games. Canada sent its A team in every sport except judo, and 265 athletes in all — its largest team for a Commonwealth Games not on home soil. Sweetland, a 25-year-old from Victoria, started Canada’s run to the medal podium

in the Games’ first event, racing to silver to put all the frustration of six years of injuries behind her. “It was a gutsy performance by someone who’s gone through some challenges. . . a great start to the Games,” Stevenson said. There would be numerous other memorable moments over the ensuing 10 days of competition, including Patricia Bezzoubenko nabbing five of the six rhythmic gymnastics gold medals. “An absolutely spectacular performance,” Stevenson said. In mountain biking, Catharine Pendrel pulled away in the first of six laps and never looked back to lead Canada to a 1-2 finish, crossing the finish line waving the Maple Leaf. Emily Batty won the silver. “Incredible, a very dominant performance by those two. Fantastic day when you see someone riding across with no hands, holding the flag over their head,” Stevenson said. Ryan Cochrane set a personal best in winning the 400-metre freestyle, and then successfully defended his gold medal in the 1,500 freestyle.

While Pospisil rises, Raonic still sets Canadian tennis standard BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Before Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil were born and when they weren’t yet old enough to hold tennis rackets, a generation of Swedes led by Stefan Edberg, Bjorn Borg and Mats Wilander swept the tennis world. Now it might be Raonic and Pospisil’s turn to do the same as Canadians. “I think there’s a chance now with the guys in Canada here that they can do the same journey,” Edberg said. “It should be a very exciting time for Canadian tennis going forward now.” Considering Raonic beating Pospisil Sunday in the Citi Open was the first all-Canadian final in the history of the men’s tour, this journey is just getting started. What the match also illustrated is that Pospisil has a ways to go to catch up with Raonic, even though he’s showing signs of following him up the rankings. Pospisil, who will face Richard Gasquet in the first round of the Rogers Cup on Tuesday, is ranked 27th in the world after reaching his first ATP final. Raonic is back up to his career high of sixth after winning his sixth title.

Vasek Pospisil, left, and Milos Raonic, right, both of Canada, pose before the men’s singles final at the Citi Open tennis tournament, Sunday, in Washington. Raonic won 6-1, 6-4. “For me, just seeing him, growing up with him and beating him when we were younger just motivated me a little bit and feeling I could do it, too,” Pospisil said Monday. “I have a lot of areas of my game that I need to work on and fully develop to reach the top 10.” Raonic is still the standard

for Pospisil and this new generation of Canadian men’s tennis players, but the Vancouver native is making strides, especially recently. A back injury contributed to a streak of eight consecutive losses from February through the French Open, and it took some time before Pospisil was 100 per

bledon when he and American partner Jack Sock won it all. Raonic said that doubles run might’ve given Pospisil “a perspective and a confidence to really be able to be playing this well that quickly.” It has been what Pospisil has called a “pretty amazing couple of years” since being ranked in the 100s. The 24-year-old has improved so much in that period of time that Raonic and others can’t help but take notice. “I think he’s just constantly getting better, and most importantly you see he’s playing consistently a lot of weeks making quarters and he’s beating the guys he should be,” said Raonic, who is set to play Wednesday night at Rexall Centre. “That’s the first steps you need to make. That’s how you can see that somebody is making progress in a developmental stage.” Coming off a tiring week in Washington, Pospisil faces an immediate challenge at the Rogers Cup in the 12th-seeded Gasquet, whom he beat in the Citi Open semifinals. Pospisil used Monday to catch his breath because playing Tuesday is a difficult, quick turnaround.

Bolt elevated status of Commonwealth Games BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GLASGOW — They travelled in search of recognition, knowing they were unlikely to return with medals. At the Olympics, Norfolk Islanders must settle with being part of Australia’s vast team. But the Commonwealth Games, which end Sunday night, offered the tiny south Pacific outpost a platform to stand proudly on the world stage, competing under its own flag. It hardly matters that the island has now collected just one medal from eight trips to the multisport event for former British colonies — bronze in lawn bowls in 1994 — because their hunger for competing is no less. “It’s very important for national pride,” Norfolk Island Sports Minister Tim Sheridan told The Associated Press. “It’s the pride we are doing it representing the island instead of Australia.” Sheridan — a direct descendent of Fletcher Christian, the ringleader of the 19th-century HMS Bounty mutineers who settled on Norfolk — has not just been in Glasgow as a government figurehead. He was on the bowling green as one of Norfolk’s 23 competitors here. The island, which is 1,900 kilometres (1,180 miles) northwest of Sydney, was one of 71 teams from the former British Empire competing in the Commonwealth Games — disparate lands united by the link to British monarchy. “It’s a chance for the lesser territories to show what they have,” Sheridan said. “It’s great to have the opportunity to play against the best in the world. The Olympics might be the world but at the Commonwealth Games we are one family.” It’s a family that has presented it-

TITLE: First time “The Alberta representative usually does well, they’ve typically medalled, they’ve been in the gold medal game quite a few times, and we know that’s a team that we could have beat the last three years,” said Just, referring to the Mountaineers run of success at the Cup. “We know we’re at that level. Our expectation is we want to be in that gold medal game, we want to give ourselves a chance to bring gold back to Alberta for the first time in five years.” jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

GAMES: Pleased “This is not someone who’s a young athlete,” Stevenson said of the 25-yearold swimmer. “Many look at him and say he’s still in his prime, but some say he’s winding it down. I hope he’s not.” Ryan Bester won lawn bowling silver — Canada’s first medal in the sport in 80 years. Twelve of Canada’s 14 wrestlers won medals, and women’s boxing made its Commonwealth Games debut, with Ariane Fortin taking silver at 75 kilograms and Mandy Bujold winning bronze at 51 kg. Canada’s tag line for these Games was: the road to Rio goes through Glasgow and Toronto, and that was a talking point at the team’s closing news conference on Sunday. “We’re really pleased with what was accomplished here going forward, to the next Commonwealth games, but before that, going into Toronto next summer (the 2015 Pan American

self as more united in sports than at the most-recent Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting that was boycotted by many leaders because of host Sri Lanka’s human rights record. “The games really galvanized the strong sense of community within the Commonwealth,” said David Grevemberg, who becomes chief executive of the games movement after running the Glasgow event. “There is a real connection.” There are the stirring stories from the smaller teams — from a first-ever games medal for Kiribati when David Katoatau won weightlifting gold to Sharon Firisua being cheered by the Hampden Park crowd on Saturday as she finally crossed the line in the 10,000-meters final after being lapped twice. “My aim when I was here was to see the queen,” said Firisua, one of 12 Solomon Islands athletes now preparing for a four-day trip home. “I am really glad and so privileged to have been able to have lunch with her.” Queen Elizabeth II displayed her appetite for merriment in Glasgow, beaming into the camera as she “photobombed” a selfie being taken by Australian hockey players. But the games required a global star to elevate not just the status of the competition within the Commonwealth but its relevance far beyond. And Usain Bolt was an electrifying presence at his first Commonwealth Games. The world’s fastest man arrived to hero worship and brushed aside a media storm over reported disparaging comments about Glasgow before enchanting spectators with theatrics and speed as Jamaica’s 4x100-meter relay team was anchored to glory. “The Commonwealth is special,” Games),” Stevenson said. “I think things are going in the right direction, and also towards Rio in two years. These are the people you’re going to see going forward, and for obviously winning medals for Canada down the road.” It was a chance for athletes to compete in front of a crowd. “For many sports you do that once every four years, so you can’t expect athletes to go from performing in front of their family to a major Olympic stadium and have no impact. You can’t prepare for it by visualization, that’s not realistic.” Glasgow was an enthusiastic host, rolling out the red carpet for the world’s 71 teams from the former British Empire. Fans packed the venues for virtually every session of every sport. Nearly 5,000 athletes competed in 261 events in 18 different sports in the largest multi-sport event ever held in Scotland. Halifax bid to host the 2014 Games but dropped out of the Commonwealth race after the municipal and govern-

Jamaica’s Usain Bolt jokes as he is pulled over to make a TV interview after getting his gold medal for the Men’s 4x100m relay at Hampden Park Stadium during the Commonwealth Games 2014 in Glasgow, Scotland, Saturday. Bolt said. “Every experience is different, every city is different, and competing is what I love ... even though it’s been a little cold.” In the medals standings England finished top for the first time since 1986 with 58 golds to end Australia’s 20-year supremacy. Unlike at the Olympics, the home nations of the United Kingdom compete under their separate flags

at the Commonwealth Games. But by the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Scotland could be going it alone on the Olympic front also.

So right now I’m not feeling great, but I know tomorrow I’ll be fit.” Even though Pospisil has just one victory in four matches in Toronto, he flashed a wide smile Monday when the topic of playing back home in Canada was brought up.

Pair of Canadians ousted in first round WOMEN’S ROGERS CUP BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The excitement in the grandstands over Canada’s recent tennis success appears to have been lost on American Sloane Stephens and Slovakia’s Dominika Cibulkova. Stephens used an accurate serve and steady pressure to rout Aleksandra Wozniak of Blainville, Que., 6-3, 6-0 while Cibulkova recovered from a mid-match stutter to down 17-year-old Francoise Abanda of Montreal 6-1, 3-6, 6-0 in opening round matches Monday at the US$2.44 million women’s Rogers Cup. Stephens, ranked 22nd in the world, was never in trouble against the 26-year-old Wozniak, who is trying to battle back to her career-high No. 21 ranking after years of arm and shoulder trouble. “She really played well,” Wozniak said of Stephens. “She served at a high percentage, 75 per cent, and it was tough to return. “It wasn’t easy, for sure. You have a warrior mentality, you want to fight for every point, but she played great tennis. I didn’t expect that. She played a perfect match.” The 10th-seeded Cibulkova found herself in more of a battle than was predicted with crowd favourite Abanda, a rising junior talent. Cibulkova advanced to a second round meeting with Britain’s top woman player Heather Watson, who edged Tereza Smitkova 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 in a battle of qualifiers. Abanda, ranked 209th in the world, had the crowd solidly on her side, and centre court was in a frenzy as the lanky junior used her strong ground strokes to the force errors from her 25-year-old opponent in the middle set. “I think I played one of my best tennis matches,” said Abanda. “Especially playing it in Montreal in front of home and the crowd, so I’m really glad I was able to deliver that in the second set. “So I guess I’m just excited to know that I can actually compete against a top 10 player. It’s more motivation for me to keep training and do better.” Cibulkova righted herself in the third set and sealed the victory with an ace. “I knew she’s young player, she has nothing to lose, she has all the support,” said Cibulkova. “I just really had to calm myself. “After the second set I just sit down and I talk to myself. I was playing well the first set, I knew what I have to change. I wasn’t panicking. I wasn’t losing my head. That was important.” There will be even more buzz for locals on Tuesday night. American qualifier Shelby Rogers downed Ajla Tomljanovic 6-4, 7-6 (5) to set up a second-round meeting on Tuesday with the star attrac-

tion of this year’s event, fifthseeded Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que. “I think it will be fun,” said Rogers, who beat Bouchard in three sets in a lower-level tournament in 2011 in Troy, Alabama. “Obviously the crowd is going to be for her, and I’m the underdog. I think it’s kind of a fun story. “There’s no pressure. I’m just going to go out, play my game, do my best and try to enjoy the moment as much as I can.” Bouchard, who has rocketed up the rankings since turning pro full time in 2013 and who reached the Wimbledon final last month, is drawn to face defending champion Serena Williams in the quarterfinals. Williams, who this week reached 200 straight weeks as world No. 1, said 20-year-old Bouchard will be a stiff test, if it happens. “I think she has a really good chance,” said Williams. “She’s had a stellar year, to be honest. “She’s done better than me in a lot of the tournaments. Yeah, I think it will be a really good matchup. I hope I can get there. I feel like she’ll be there regardless.” Williams, coming off a win Sunday at Stanford, has won the Rogers Cup three times when it was held in Toronto, but has not even played in Montreal since 2000, when she was forced to retire from the third set of the final with an injury. She’ll play her first match on Wednesday. Lucie Safarova, the 15th seed, advanced with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Sorena Cirstea. She next faces Magdalena Rybarikova, a 6-1, 6-3 winner over Alison Riske. Alize Cornet beat qualifier Lauren Davis 6-3, 7-5 and will next face eighth-seeded Victoria Azarenka. Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci of Italy are the top doubles players on the WTA Tour, but both lost their opening singles matches. Sabine Lisicki downed 13thseeded Errani 6-1, 7-5 while Barbora Zahlavova Strycova ousted Vinci 7-5, 7-5. Another Italian fell as Yulia Putinseva topped 12th-seeded Flavia Pannetta 7-6 (5), 6-3. Errani and Vinci are ranked first in doubles, having taken Wimbledon and the Australian open titles this year. But while Errani is 15th in singles, most of her success has been on clay courts, while Lisicki likes the faster surfaces. Lisicki hit the fastest recorded serve in WTA history of 211 kilometres per hour last week in the first round at Stanford, breaking Venus Williams’ record. Klara Koukalova beat Dutch qualifier Kiki Bertens 7-5, 7-6 (5). Zahlavova Strycova advanced to a second-round meeting with third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska.

MEN’S ROGERS CUP

Isner upset in first round at Rogers Cup, Canadian Polansky advances to face Federer TORONTO — For the second straight tournament John Isner didn’t get to play on centre court. And for the second straight tournament he bowed out in his first match. Isner, the 10th seed at the Rogers Cup, lost to Croatian Ivan Dodig, 6-4, 6-7(4), 6-3 on the grandstand court Monday night at Rexall Centre. The match was originally scheduled for the afternoon in the stadium, but a lengthy rain delay wreaked havoc on the day’s schedule. “Obviously it was not easy,” said Dodig, who was playing his first singles match in 10 weeks because of a broken rib. “It was long day for us, and of course changing the court it’s also a little bit like making you to think about it.” Isner, who was not made available to speak to reporters, lost his opening match at last week’s Citi Open to Steve Johnson and told reporters in Washington that he didn’t think he “deserved” to play on a secondary court. Storms in the Toronto area caused play to be delayed two hours, and Isner and Dodig didn’t get the centre-court spotlight. That went to 13th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who beat fellow Frenchman Edouard Roger-Vasselin 7-6(3), 6-1. The nightcap on centre court featured Canadian wild card Peter Polansky beating 2013 Wimbledon semifinalist Jerzy Janowicz 7-6(5), 6-4. Polansky, who grew up in nearby Thornhill, Ont., last won a match in Toronto in 2010 when he upset Austria’s Jurgen Melzer. He said this felt like a bit of deja vu — notably because this was by the same score — but this time the 26-year-old had to bounce back from a challenge on what he thought was match point. “There was a little bit of nerves trying to pull through and hold for the match,” Polansky said. “When he hit that forehand wide, I was pretty excited.” Polansky will face second-seeded Roger Federer in the second round Tuesday night. He said facing the 17-time Grand Slam champion will probably be one of the highlights of his career. Monday night represented another low light for Isner, who dominated with his big

S

serve but couldn’t handle Dodig’s throughout the night. Dodig broke the six-foot-ten American in the third set and was able to finish things off from there. “He’s the guy who can beat everybody, and as well a great player for many years,” Dodig said of Isner. “You could see that there was not so many breaks. It’s tough for both of us, for me to return to him and for him as well. He’s going aggressive and he wasn’t missing a lot today.” In other night action, American qualifier Michael Russell beat France’s Nicholas Mahut 6-3, 6-3 and Spain’s Feliciano Lopez beat 14th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6(7), 3-6. Earlier in the day, France’s Julien Benneteau had little trouble dusting off former world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt, 6-1, 6-2. Benneteau and Hewitt endured two rain delays, the second of which lasted two hours. “I tried to keep the same momentum and the same rhythm of the match,” Benneteau said. “I just tried to stay focused to be able to play the same way.” Benneteau was leading 4-1 in the first set when the first brief rain delay occurred. He was up 4-2 in the second when storms moving through the Toronto area halted his and every other match taking place. “The rain delay, it’s never easy but it’s for both players,” he said. “I had two break points before, 15-40 and then a deuce. So it’s never easy.” Benneteau also said it’s never easy facing Hewitt, even though the Aussie is 42nd now and 11 years removed from being atop the world rankings. “He’s a great fighter and to beat him you have to play solid,” Benneteau said. “You have to do a good match. It’s the kind of player that if your level is not good enough, you don’t win.” To open the tournament on centre court, 15th-seeded Marin Cilic got pushed to the limit before beating Denis Istomin, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5. The Croatian said Istomin was dealing with a shoulder injury that led to unpredictability. “He had some shots were coming off good, some not, and it was difficult to know what was going to come,” Cilic said. “It got a bit complicated.” In other early action, France’s Jeremy Chardy beat Argentina’s Federico Delbonis, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, French qualifier Benoit Paire defeated Colombian Alejandro Falla, 6-7, 6-4, 6-2.

B5 Tennis taking off in Red Deer TUESDAY, AUG. 5, 2014

ROBINSON LEADS STRONG PERFORMANCE FROM LOCAL ATHLETES AT PROVINCIALS BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF With all of the talk about the rise of tennis in Canada, Red Deer is holding up it’s end of the bargain. Twelve-year-old Michael Robinson is a fast riser on the provincial scene and is a prime example of the success of the local club’s junior program. On Sunday, he found himself in the 4.0 Play Provincial final at the Red Deer Tennis Club where he took 40-year-old Vincent Leong of Edmonton to a third set tie-breaker before losing 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (7-4). “It was pretty big for me, some of my matches I had to come from behind in the third set. This included the final where not only did he have to rebound from a slow start in the opening set, he needed to break Leong just to force the tie break. The trail position, however, is one Robinson relishes. “I find it easy to come back, because normally when I’m down I play better and it’s hard for the other person to keep the lead,” he said. Robinson has only been playing the sport for four years, but is already in the Tennis Alberta stream, having accompanied the association this summer in France where he competed and trained with some of the best junior players in Europe. He is also the eighth ranked U-14 boys singles player in the province. “We were playing on clay, it was different. I personally like it more than hard courts because it was slower and the clay makes it spin faster.” said Robinson. “I learned you have to be more consistent and you have to make the points longer instead of just (going for) the winner.” His biggest strength is a deadly forehand, which he uses almost exclusively, though he is working hard at improving his two-handed backhand. Tennis club board member and tournament director Vega Wong has watched Robinson since he joined the club and has been impressed with his improvements under the guidance of club pros Rene Simon and Tyler Begg. “When I first met Michael he was

only eight years old and he was already really good,” said Wong. “He has tons of potential.” Robinson opened the tournament with a 6-0, 6-0 win over John Dunn followed by a 6-1, 6-4 win over Oliver Lawrence on Friday. On Saturday he beat Christiaan Grundling 6-3, 6-4 in his only match. In Sunday’s semifinal, he got his first big test, needing three sets to beat Mike Simister 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 and then ran into the tournament’s top seed Leong in the afternoon final. The weekend was all about gaining experience as he prepares for next year’s junior provincials. His success this weekend coincided with the some Canadian history in the sport as Ontario’s Milos Raonic beat his idol Vasek Pospisil out of Vancouver in the first ever all-Canadian final on the ATP tour at the Citi Open in Washington D.C. To see Canadians have this kind of success on tour is huge for the next generation. “We have kids seeing Canadians play these tournaments and they say to their parents ‘I want to be like Eugenie (Bouchard)’ or ‘I want to be like Milos, I want to get a racket and hit some balls,’” said Wong. “That’s why we have so many kids in our summer program at this moment.” It was a big weekend for the club as a whole as tournament hosts with picture-perfect weather. Calvin Patterson beat Jordan Sluchinski 6-2, 6-2 to win the men’s open title; Daniel Henschel and Jeffrey James beat Ivan Quintero and Vuk Radovic 7-5, 6-4 to win the men’s doubles open title; Katie Johnson and Kristina Sanjevic beat Christine Lilley and Karla Lima 6-2, 6-4 for the women’s doubles open title; Tobiasz Strozyk and Sanjevic beat Fandhi Irawan and Talia Jang-Stewart 6-2, 6-3 in the mixed doubles open final. Next up for the club is the club championships from Aug. 28-31. “It’s good to see local players do well, because it shows that tennis is growing in Red Deer,” said Wong. “We have a good junior program and a good senior program as well.” For full results see the scoreboard on page B3. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Innisfail Indians come up big at Peewee AA provincials

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

RED DEER BRAVES FINISH STRONG AFTER ROUGH START BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF The Innisfail Indians proved size matters little in the Baseball Alberta Peewee AA Provincial Championships at Great Chief Park on Sunday. The Indians knocked off several other teams from bigger centres, eventually beating the Barrhead Orioles — another small centre — 9-2 in the final. “This is a huge experience for the kids, especially coming from a smaller association like we are,” said Innisfail head coach Kent Baumgardt. “Last year a good majority of the boys played A ball last year and now they jump up into AA, a much tougher level of ball ... and our boys stepped up to that challenge. They showed they could move through those challenges and persevere.” The Indians rode strong starting pitching to the title, including five innings from Tanner Halerewich in the final. Halerewich gave up two runs, one earned, while striking out six and walking one, picking up the game MVP award for his efforts. Teagan McCollough pitched the final two innings, giving up one unearned run on two hits and one walk. Ethan Alvarez led Innisfail with three hits, two runs batted in and two runs scored, Jess Money and Cleary Simpson both had two hits and two runs, Lance Clay had one hit, an RBI and a run, Rees DeRuyter had a walk a hit and two runs scores and Kyle Baumgardt had one hit and three RBI. “Teamwork was the key for us,” said Baumgardt. “We had excellent starting pitching, the boys that started each game, pitched very well for us ... they went deep into the game and when we asked our relief pitchers to come in, they did their job for us as well. “On the offensive side of the game, we never got down. We just stayed even through the whole tournament.” The Orioles did not have a smooth run to the final, they were mercied in the round robin by Barrhead but turned things around in time for the championship game. “The boys never really got down in that game at all and we came back the next day and went about business,” said Baumgardt.

Midget AAA Braves finish season with tier II championship

Red Deer Braves Jamie Lalor, right, and Reid Howell, left, celebrate at home plate after Lalor scored the go ahead run in the seventh inning of their 17-14 win over the Leduc Giants during the 2014 Baseball Alberta Peewee AA Championship at Great Chief Park on Sunday. The host Red Deer Braves did not have the same kind of success, but managed to finish strong. They opened with an 11-1 loss to the Indians, bounced back to beat the South Jasper Place Jays out of Edmonton 13-6 but then lost a decisive 7-6 game to the Barrhead Orioles on Saturday. They appeared to be heading to a similar fate in their final game on Sunday afternoon, trailing the Leduc Giants 11-9 heading into the top of the seventh inning. But with two outs, they started to rally and scored eight runs, eventually winning 17-14. Kade Kahlert led the way going 5-for-5 with five runs and four RBI, Jamie Lalor was 2-for-4 with two RBI and three runs, Reid Howell was 3-for5 with two runs and two RBI, Piercen Differenz was 2-for-3 with two Runs

and one RBI, and John Nicholson was 2-for-3 with two RBI. Craig Bradley picked up the win in two innings of relief, allowing five runs, two earned, on three hits and one walk with one strike out. “I know it’s 2-2 but we really feel like after that first game our kids really came to play and they played three fantastic games,” said Braves head coach Kathy Lalor. “We know we can hit, and the kids really just started to get some confidence in the last two or three weeks and that really showed today.” Baumgardt praised those running the tournament. “It was ran exceptionally well. I thought the Red Deer team did a very good job, things ran very smoothly, they always had answers for everybody,” he said.

The Red Deer Midget AAA Braves finished their season on a high winning the baseball Alberta tier II provincials in Edmonton, beating the host Cardinals 15-7 in the final on Sunday. The Braves took over in the bottom of the third inning as Blake Thompson cashed in two runs on a double and then scored on a Griffin Moline RBI single. Triston Hill continued the inning with a double that scored two more runs and Dylan Boreman singled in one more. When the dust settled, the Braves led 11-5 after three innings. Jordan Muirhead came in to pitch in the top of the fourth and shut down the Cardinals the rest of the way. Nic Fischer added two more runs on a triple while Jesse Kowalchuk had an RBI single as well. They got to the final of the consolation provincial tournament by winning all three of their round robin games. They opened with an 8-7 win over the Calgary Redbirds Black on Friday. In Saturday’s first game, the rode a strong pitching performance by Dylan Boreman and a well rounded attack led them past the Edmonton Cardinals 10-2. In their final round robin game against Calgary Redbirds Red, Mike Ozga came through with an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning to win 9-8 and put Red Deer into the final. The Braves had led 6-2 , but Calgary rallied to tie it at 7-7, forcing extra innings. The tier II provincials featured the four teams in the NorWest Baseball League that did not qualify for the tier I provincial championship.

GOLF Red Deer’s Michael McAdam got off to a slow start at the Golf Canada Amateur Championship on Monday. McAdam fired an opening round 4-over-76 to sit 115th overall. He trails Brian Bullington of Frankfort, Ill., and Jonathan Garrick of Atherton, Calif., who both shot a 6-under-66 at the Southwood Golf and Country Club in Winnipeg. Manitoba’s Josh Wytinck and Team Canada member Garrett Rank of Elmira, Ont., were the top Canadians at 5-under-67. The tournament runs through Thursday and also makes use of Elmhurst Golf and Country Club. The winner earns an exemption into the 2015 RBC Canadian Open and the 2014 U.S. Amateur.

Rivals get rewarded at Central Alberta Am TOM MCKINLAY JR. AND KYLE MORRISON FINISH TIED AFTER TOURNAMENT CUT SHORT BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF For the first time in its 92-year history, the Sunlife Financial Central Alberta Amateur golf championship has a co-champion. Due to inclement weather, the final round was cut short after nine holes, turning the three-day tournament into a 45-hole event. When all the scores were added two former champions were left standing: Tom McKinlay, Jr. and Kyle Morrison. McKinlay and Morrison shot a final score of 185, topping Dan Souley’s 187 while Derrick Chrichton finished third at 189 and Jason Ricalton and Brett Pasula tied at 190. “I took some time off from playing it, but to get back and be a winner again is awesome,” said McKinlay, 42, who previously won in 1993. “Right now I’m a once a week golfer, it’s a tougher game when you only do it that much but it’s nice to still be able to do it at this level when you’re only playing this much.” With a challenging set up, it was almost survival of the fittest for Morrison, 27. “It was fun out there, me and Tom played decent, but the course is tougher now with the changes on the front now, it’s way longer and it’s tougher and the greens out here, everyone has a hard time reading them,” he said. “I play it every day and it’s just hard out here, to come out here and win, it’s fun.”

Kyle Morrison, left, and Tom McKinlay, Jr., second from the right, are awarded the championship trophy after sharing in victory at the rain shortened Sunlife Financial Central Alberta Amateur Championship at Red Deer Golf and Country Club on Monday. The two champs have more than just previous Central Alberta Amateur titles in common, they’ve actually turned into friendly rivals the last few years. They have constantly butted heads at seemingly every tournament between Lacombe and Red Deer, often one or the other coming out on top.

Earlier this year, Morrison got the edge on McKinlay at his home tournament at the Lacombe Golf Club. He was hoping for some revenge this weekend but it did not pan out due to the weather. “We made a rivalry the last three or four years and it definitely would have been fun to play the last seven holes,” said Morrison.

For McKinlay, however, golf is just a past time at this point. Morrison, however, is still hard out on the trail and enjoying one of his better summers, having won the Red Deer Golf and Country Club championship, the River Bend Championship and the CA Amateur horse race. Up next for him is the Grande Prairie Open before he heads out to the Canadian Mid Amateur in Barrie, Ont., Sept. 16-19. Up until the rain, the tournament was running smoothly, with 183 golfer taking part. Both co-champs noted the top condition of the course and the challenges it presents. Tournament co-chairman and club head pro Ken Frame was disappointed they could not finish it, however, as the event is often the highlight of their summer. “I can’t remember it ever ending like this ... there’s just nothing we could do we just had to roll with the punches,” said Frame. “It’s probably one of the biggest tournaments in Western Canada and we’re proud to host it.” Todd Blundell shot a 188 to win the first flight, Darren Bellerose shot a 234 to win the second flight, Tom McKinlay, Sr. a 199 to win the third flight, Phil Pattison a 243 to take the fourth flight, Mike Ross and Ron Olney both shot a 208 to win the fifth flight, Dana Nolan fires a 249 to take the sixth flight, Jay Jokisch a 268 to win the seventh flight and Peter Seredea a 245 to win the senior division. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

World junior development camp a first step in finding right mix BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BROSSARD, Que. — Aaron Ekblad says no one has a right to expect a spot on Canada’s world junior roster, even those players returning for a second tour of duty. The first overall pick in this summer’s NHL entry draft said that a fourth-place finish at least year’s world junior championship means everyone vying for a spot on the Canadian squad to play on home soil later this year is on equal footing — himself included. “There’s something left on the table,” said Ekblad of the opportunity squandered in Malmo, Sweden that ended abruptly with a bronze medal game loss to Russia. “Obviously we’re coming into this with positivity, but we lost last year,” added Ekblad, a defenceman for the Ontario Hockey League’s Barrie Colts. “None of us, I think, have earned the right to say we deserve a spot again.” Head Coach Benoit Groulx says that’s exactly what he wants to hear. “That’s the attitude we like — he’s coming here as the first pick overall and he’s first on every drill and he’s probably the hardest working player on the ice,” said Groulx, the Gatineau

Sutter Fund Chief Thiessen joins teammate at Alberta U18 Female Fall Camp Abagael Thiessen will be joining her Red Deer Sutter Fund Chiefs teammate Mairead Bast at the Hockey Alberta U18 Female Fall Camp, as announced on Thursday. The two defencemen are among 30

Olympiques coach who served as an assistant-coach for Canada in Sweden. Ekblad is among 39 players in suburban Montreal this week taking part in development camp that runs until Aug. 8. The Canadian players will play in exhibition games in Sherbrooke, Que. and at Concordia University in Montreal against teams from Russia and the Czech Republic. Groulx says he wants to see how players will adapt to what they’re being taught during practice and how they’ll put those lessons to the test during games. Everyone will get a chance to play. “We want to be a team, we want to play as a team, we want four lines going hard, playing the same way,” Groulx said. “This is our challenge and this is their challenge to be fitting on this team in a specific role.” The coach said this week is just the first step in a very long process to decide on who will make up the Canadian squad that will play at the world junior championship in Montreal and Toronto at the end of the year. Ekblad is among a group of ten players at the camp who are back. The group also includes fellow first-round pick Sam Reinhart and young phenom

Connor McDavid, the only draft-eligible player among them. Groulx had praise for all returnees who have been exhibiting leadership qualities since camp began Sunday night. “They’re here, you can tell their ready and they don’t take anything for granted,” Groulx said. For McDavid in particular, it’s expected to a pressure-packed year. The Erie Otters forward is projected to be a top NHL draft pick in 2015. McDavid says he’s got plenty of people around him keeping him grounded and helping him keep the focus on the task at hand. “At the end of the day, you’re here for the world junior championship and nothing else,” the soft-spoken McDavid said. “You’re not here for your draft stock or anything like that, you’re just here to represent Team Canada and that’s it.” Canada hasn’t won a gold medal in since 2009, when it won its last of five straight. The country hasn’t had a medal since 2012 and has back-to-back fourth place finishes in the past two years. “Even to this day, I know a lot of the returning guys are disappointed and

have the drive and fire to improve on last year,” said Reinhart, a first-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres. “If we were all privileged enough to play, I know everyone is going to be motivated to get the best result possible.” The 11-day tournament in Montreal and Toronto opens on Boxing Day and runs to Jan. 5, with the final at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. It’s up in the air how many of the players at camp this week will still be eligible to play come December. Many, like Ekblad, expect to challenge for NHL spots. In the case of this year’s first overall pick, Ekblad made it clear he wants to secure an everyday spot on the Florida Panthers. But he assures that he’ll be ready and willing if he ends up suiting up for Canada. “We don’t know what’s going to happen with him (Ekblad) but one thing we know is that if he’s with us at Christmas time, he’ll have the respect of his peers, which is key, and the respect of his coaches,” Groulx said. NOTES: Thirty-nine players of the 41 players invited are expected on the ice this week. The exceptions are Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Jonathan Drouin, who isn’t obliged to be here because it is his third invite.

selected to the camp, whittled down from the 83 at the spring camp and the 47 at the summer camp. The final roster will be decided following a tournament with the University of Alberta Pandas and bantam AAA boys teams from Sept. 26-28. The top 20 players will then represent the province at the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George, B.C., where they will be looking to defend their 2011 gold medal.

On our way to hosting a World Cup FIFA PRESIDENT LIKES ‘CALM’ ATMOSPHERE OF CANADA TORONTO — Sepp Blatter appeared at peace. Perhaps it was lingering memories of a chaotic Brazilian World Cup that have FIFA’s president so happy to be in Canada. Maybe it was a modestly attended press conference where he faced no questions about bidding corruption, 2018 World Cup host Russia’s alleged military involvement in Ukraine or labour rights in 2022 host Qatar. Whatever the reason, Canada suits Blatter just fine. So fine in fact that Blatter didn’t have to be asked about a possible World Cup in Canada — he brought it up on his own. “Let’s go to see if you can bring the famous FIFA’s World Cup we just played in Brazil to your country,” he said Monday. “I’m sure that this country will be as calm as it is now, and tell me one country in the world actually that is very calm. And here, I feel home.” That’s good news for Canadian soccer ahead of the Under-20 Women’s World Cup, which begins Tuesday and runs through Aug. 24 in Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Moncton, N.B. Canada opens play Tuesday against Ghana in Toronto. The 16-team event is a precursor to next year’s Women’s World Cup, which will move from 16 teams to 24. Blatter called the tournaments a necessary step to a successful bid by the Canadian Soccer Association for the men’s tournament. “It’s time. It’s a project and if you’re going to have a project like the FIFA World Cup, it takes some time,” he said. “You have had the courage and it was necessary to (CSA president Victor Montagliani) to have the courage to ask, to organize FIFA’s Women’s World Cup with 24 teams. It will be the first time.” The CSA has said it plans to enter a formal bid for the 2026 World Cup. “We’re the only G8 country that hasn’t hosted a World Cup ...,” said Montagliani. “I think we’ve sort of

started to shed our humbleness a little bit ... I think that’s our next step of evolution in terms of the growth of the game, and I think something that not only bodes well for our country but also the continent and will help our neighbours as well.” None of which actually guarantees Canada will host a World Cup. Canada won the bidding to both women’s tournaments in 2011 after its lone opposition, Zimbabwe, pulled out of consideration. Canada previously hosted the men’s Under-17 World Cup in 1987 and the men’s Under-20 World Cup in 2007, as well as the first women’s under-20 tournament in 2002. There’s also the matter of a significant disparity between the women’s and men’s teams. The women’s side, led by star Christine Sinclair of London, Ont., is ranked seventh in the world and recently won bronze at the 2012 London Games. The men are 118th in the world, have only a 1986 World Cup appearance to their credit and are early in a rebuilding process. But Blatter was quick to reminisce about Canada’s soccer history. He recalled the decision made in Montreal by the FIFA Congress in 1976 to expel South Africa for its then pro-apartheid stance. He also downplayed Canada’s geographic disadvantage as a possible World Cup host. “The distances? What are distances?” he said. “We have just been in Brazil. And you know Brazil is a country with 200 million people, and we have been in three difference zones of climate. If you play in Canada, we will be in the same zone of climate. ... In Brazil we were at the equator. It was hot, humid, sometimes raining.” Brazil is already in the past for FIFA. Canada, if Blatter is to be believed, could be in its future if the women’s tournaments are a success. “Next year there is no Brazil. Because Brazil is still in the air somewhere,” he said. “But next year it’s not Brazil. It’s the under-20 and then (the Women’s World Cup). There’s no (other) big competition next year. So let’s go.”

CANADA PREPARING FOR FIRST OPPONENT IN TODAY’S U20 WOMEN’S WORLD CUP OPENER BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — There is only so much the Canadian team can do to prepare for its first opponent at the Under-20 Women’s World Cup. Like it is for many youth teams around the world, in-game video of the Ghana squad is rather limited. From what the Canadians have been able to glean from the footage they’ve seen, they’re expecting a side with plenty of speed and a unique style in Tuesday’s opener at BMO Field. “Ghana is a very fast, physical team,” said midfielder Jessie Fleming. “They have very technical forwards. They’re definitely going to be difficult to play (against). They’re unpredictable at times.

China and Brazil. Group C is made up of England, Mexico, Nigeria and South Korea while Group D consists of Costa Rica, France, New Zealand and Paraguay. The tournament runs through Aug. 24 with Edmonton and Moncton as the other host cities. The defending champion Americans are a tournament favourite along with Germany and North Korea. The top two teams from each pool advance to the quarter-finals. Moncton and Montreal will host the semifinals and Montreal will stage the final and third-place match. The Canadian side boasts six players who have played with the national senior team. They include Fleming, centre backs Kadeisha Buchanan and Rebecca Quinn, fullback Sura Yekka, midfielder Ashley Lawrence and forward Nichelle Prince. That experience will be needed for

“So it’s just a matter of sticking to our game plan and doing what we can to match that.” The Ghana team has trained in the Ontario capital ahead of the tournament. That has allowed the Canadians to gather some more information on their first Group A opponent. “We’ve been a bit fortunate,” said Canadian coach Andrew Olivieri. “They’ve been here in Toronto so we’ve had a couple of people that have been able to see them. That’s certainly part of the culture of our program is being prepared for our opponents and seeing them and basically analyzing them is crucial to the way we work.” Canada will play Finland in another Group A game Friday in Toronto before heading to Montreal for an Aug. 12 game against North Korea. Group B includes the U.S., Germany,

UFC fighters Jones and Cormier brawl in Las Vegas lobby at press event

Mets cut slumping Bobby Abreu NEW YORK — The New York Mets have cut slumping 40-year-old Bobby Abreu and are calling up outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis from the minors. The Mets designated Abreu for assignment after Monday’s 4-3 loss to San Francisco. His final appearance came in the sixth inning when he was sent up as a pinch-hitter, then pulled after the Giants made a pitching change. Abreu had been out of the majors since 2012 when the Mets promoted him from TripleA on April 21. He was hitless in his last 22 at-bats as a pinch-hitter. He hit .238 with one home run and 14 RBIs in 142 plate appearances.

their dislike for each other, a sentiment that will undoubtedly help sell the fight. Monday’s brawl won’t hurt either, although the UFC said the fighters would pay a price. “This is certainly not a proud moment for the UFC organization,” UFC chief legal officer Kirk Hendrick said in a statement. “We expect more from our athletes, especially these two gentlemen, who are very well-trained and highly educated professionals. Their actions were clearly a violation of the UFC’s code of conduct.” The UFC said the Nevada State Athletic Commission had requested a video copy of the incident. “We are going to reserve our right to penalize both fighters after the commission has made a decision,” Hendrick said. “We expect more from our athletes and we are prepared to levy sanctions to reinforce the appropriate behaviour.” “There are going to be ramifications,” he added. “Whether you’re the champion, or this is your first fight in the UFC, there are going to be ramifications from the UFC for these actions.”

CINCINNATI, Ohio — Andy Dalton is relieved. So are the Cincinnati Bengals. Everyone one was all smiles around Bengals camp on Monday when the team made Dalton one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league. Dalton signed a six-year extension, but the financial terms were not released. According to multiple reports, the deal is worth up to $115 million. The quarterback has passed for more than 3,000 yards in each of his three seasons. He led the Bengals to an 11-5 record and AFC North title in 2013. He set career highs with 33 touchdown passes and 20 interceptions. Dalton was a second-round draft choice in 2011.

LAS VEGAS — Light-heavyweight champion Jon (Bones) Jones and challenger Daniel (DC) Cormier scuffled Monday at a news conference to publicize their UFC 178 showdown, falling off stage after coming to blows. The trouble started when the two fighters squared off in a photo op on a temporary stage in the lobby of the MGM Grand. The taller Jones touched foreheads with Cormier, who shoved him backwards. Jones came right back at Cormier, with a pair of UFC employees shoved aside as they tried to intervene. Both fighters tumbled off the low stage, whose backdrop was ripped down, and landed in a pile of bodies before they were eventually pulled apart. “I won’t let another man get in my face and put his forehead against mine. I will react every time,” Cormier tweeted later. “Lol those baby punches from the bottom,” Jones said by Twitter. “I really hope you have more prepared than that for when I take you down again.” No one was injured in the incident, according to the UFC. UFC president Dana White normally MCs such events but missed this one. “The first day of my vacation and this happens,” the UFC boss said via Twitter, including a video of the scuffle. The two fighters are slated to meet in the cage for real on Sept. 27. The two have made no secret of

a side that Olivieri said is the youngest team that Canada has fielded since the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2002. Defender Kinley McNicoll will serve as captain and Kailen Sheridan is the No. 1 goalie. Canada is coming off a disappointing 1-2-0 performance in the 2012 event while Ghana dropped all three of its matches. Neither side advanced out of the group stage. “We have been preparing very well for the tournament,” Ghana vice-captain Alice Danso said on the FIFA website. “We are getting all the support we need and I am sure that when the competition starts in Canada, we will be ready.” Canada should get a boost from what is expected to be a lively crowd at the lakefront stadium, which is also the home field for Toronto FC of Major League Soccer.

McIlroy moves back to No. 1 in the world after win at Bridgestone THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AKRON, Ohio — Rory McIlroy cruised to a wire-to-wire win at the British Open, and then chased down Sergio Garcia to win a World Golf Championship. And he sounds as though he’s just getting started. “My goal now until the end of the year is to try to win as many golf tournaments as I can,” McIlroy said Sunday after his two-shot victory at the Bridgestone Invitational. “It’s not to try to finish No. 1 in the world. It’s just to get as many titles as possible.” How many can he win? McIlroy paused and tilted his head, as if counting up the tournaments he has left on his schedule this year. And that’s exactly what he was doing. “Does the Grand Slam count in Bermuda?” he said playfully of the 36-hole exhibition for major champions. “Does the Ryder Cup count? I feel like with the way I’m playing, there’s a few left in me this year.” His confidence has never been higher. His game has never been better. The victory Sunday was his third of the year and returned him to No. 1 in the world for the first time since March of last year. It felt like a lot longer to McIlroy, who has gone through equipment changes, management changes and an engagement that he abruptly broke off with Caroline Wozniacki. “It feels good to be back on top,” he said. “Hopefully, I can keep it for a while.” The way he has played his last two tournaments, that looks like a distinct possibility. One of them was on the links of Britain. The other was in the parkland of America. Next up is the PGA Cham-

Brock Mackenzie wins ATB Financial Classic THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CALGARY — Brock Mackenzie won the ATB Financial Classic on Sunday at Sirocco Golf Club at 27-under 261, the second-best score in relation to par in PGA Tour Canada history. Mackenzie, the 33-year-old former University of Washington player from Yakima, Washington, had rounds of 65, 63, 67 and 66 for a four-stroke victory over Joel Dahmen and Stephen Carney. Brian Unk set the tour record of 28 under in the 2009 Seaforth Country Classic. Mackenzie earned $27,000 to jump to third on the money list with $44,822, with the final top five earning Web.com Tour status next season. Dahmen, from Clarkston, Washington, finished with a 64. He leads the money list with $77,778. Carney closed with a 68. Brady Schnell, the Iowa player who shot a 59 in the second round, tied for fourth with Cory Renfrew at 22 under. Schnell finished with a 69, and Renfrew shot 65. Red Deer’s Mitch Evanecz was cut after the second round after carding rounds of 74-77.

pionship at Valhalla, and McIlroy established himself as the overwhelming favourite. “Obviously, Rory is in incredible form at the moment,” said Adam Scott, who held the No. 1 ranking for 11 weeks. “He’ll be the man to beat next week by the look of things. And I’ll be gunning for him, for sure.” McIlroy became the 13th player with a major and a World Golf Championship, and he joined Tiger Woods as the only players to win them in consecutive starts. McIlroy heads south to Valhalla with a full head of steam. After a brief celebration with the claret jug, he was determined to move forward and chase more titles over the final four months of the year. He backed it up with a powerful performance on a soggy Firestone course. “That’s the most pleasing thing about this week is not dwelling about what happened at Hoylake,” he said. “That’s what I’ll have to do after this, as well. I’ve just got to keep moving forward. It’s great to have a chance to try to go there to win three in a row. But if you’d have asked me what I’m proudest of this week, it’s the mindset that I took into here of not being complacent. I wanted to come here and really contend.” He went into the final round at Firestone three shots behind, and when he got to the fourth tee, he had a oneshot lead. He punched an 8-iron out of the rough and under the limbs, up an elevated green to 3 feet for birdie on the opening hole. He launched a 4-iron from 219 yards to the middle of the green for a two-putt birdie at No. 2. And when Garcia hit into the rough and took bogey on the next hole, McIlroy hit a gap wedge to 8 feet and poured that one into the cup. The Spaniard never caught up.

details. Woods took another turn toward an uncertain future when he withdrew after eight holes and one final shot Sunday at the Bridgestone Invitational. Before leaving Firestone, he said he jarred his back when he hopped into a deep bunker after playing a shot on the par-5 second hole from an awkward lie off the slope above the sand. “It’s just the whole lower back,” Woods said. “I don’t know what happened.” Making the picture look even bleaker was the timing. Woods had back surgery March 31 to alleviate the pain from a pinched nerve. The Bridgestone Invitational was only his third tournament since returning from a three-month absence. And there he went again, riding off the golf course in a cart, struggling to even remove his shoes before LaCava drove him to the airport for a flight back to Florida for evaluation. “Obviously, I feel bad for him,” Rory McIlroy told the BBC on Monday. “The game of golf really needs Tiger. He’s had a few withdrawals the past couple of years. I think the first thing is just to get fit and 100 per cent healthy, even if that means taking the year off and coming back next year ready to play golf.” If he doesn’t play the PGA Championship, his season indeed would be

53913H30

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Joe LaCava walked nearly every blade of grass on the 18th green at Valhalla Golf Club, jotting notes in his yardage book after stepping off the distances from every edge of the green to every possible pin position. It was just like any other Monday at a major. The caddie just didn’t know whether any of this information would be useful in the PGA Championship. LaCava was awaiting word on whether his boss — Tiger Woods — would be healthy enough to play the final major of the year. “I’m optimistic,” LaCava said after he finished charting the entire golf course. “I’m hoping he plays. So I’m just doing whatever work I would normally do.” The caddie was at Valhalla. So was his car, a silver SUV parked in the spot assigned to the four-time major champion. As for Woods? Stay tuned. His agent, Mark Steinberg at Excel Sports Management, said in an email that Monday would be too early for doctors to decide whether Woods could or even should try to play this week after another back injury. The PGA of America said that Woods would not have his previously scheduled news conference Tuesday morning. It did not provide additional

wild-card selection. “Tiger would be a great addition to our team,” Watson told SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio on Monday. “I’ve said all along, I would pick Tiger Woods if he’s healthy and playing well. This doesn’t bode well right now. I just hope that maybe it’s just an isolated problem that he can turn around and possibly play this week at the PGA.”

NASCAR getting all it could hope from dog days CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It was Jeff Gordon’s championship to lose just a week ago after his record fifth win at the Brickyard. Then Dale Earnhardt Jr. completed a season sweep at Pocono and now he’s the guy to beat. Jeff and Junior, two of NASCAR’s biggest stars heating up during this lazy summer stretch of racing. NASCAR really couldn’t ask for anything more. Well, it wouldn’t hurt if Tony Stewart threw his hat into the ring, too. As of Tuesday, it will be one year since the broken leg that ended his season, and Stewart has now gone 14 months without a victory. He is on the outside looking in on the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. Stewart is one of the very few drivers who move the needle for NASCAR, and he has just five races remaining to grab a win he desperately needs to make him automatically eligible to race for the championship. For now, the only noise Smoke is making on the track is his constant sniping against blocking (do as he says, not as he does), but it might be time for him to block his way into Victory Lane. That would give NASCAR the trifecta for its highly anticipated Chase, which for the first time will feature elimination rounds and a winner-take-all finale. Picture the glee on Brian France’s face in Phoenix if it’s some combination of Junior and Jeff, Smoke and Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick all jockeying to make the Final Four showdown at Homestead. Maybe Stewart makes it, maybe he doesn’t — and really, he needs to be in the Chase because the intensity is always higher when Smoke is involved — but that’s just another element of this win-win time for NASCAR. The powers that be can’t ask for anything more than the 24 and 88 flexing their muscles right now, when neither team has anything to lose. They are playing with house money, having fun seeing what they are made of before the 10-race Chase. For Gordon, the points leader for 14 of the last 15 weeks, it’s about building the confidence of his team and making them believe a championship is possible. There was no doubt after the Brickyard victory, and he followed it by leading a race-high 63 laps Sunday at Pocono before finishing sixth. The win went to Earnhardt, who used crew chief Steve Letarte’s strategy to complete the Pocono sweep. It was his third win of the season — the same amount of victories Earnhardt earned

all of 2006 through 2013 — and came just four days after Hendrick Motorsports announced Letarte’s replacement for 2014. It showed the 88 team isn’t letting up, and Letarte is determined to guide Earnhardt to his first championship before he turns him over to Greg Ives at the end of the season. Both will have to contend with Hendrick teammate Johnson, who may or may not be playing possum. He doesn’t have a top-10 finish since the last week of June, but it’s not unusual for Johnson, much like a swimmer, to taper off before turning it up several notches when everything is on the line. Then there’s Harvick, who seems to be up front and in contention every week, and Team Penske’s Keselowski and Joey Logano. They’ve got a combined seven wins and eight poles between them, and all three are locked into the Chase and looking ahead to September. But there are many drivers who don’t have that luxury just yet, including Matt Kenseth, who fell just short of winning the title last season. He’s winless so far this year, and like his Joe Gibbs Racing team-

mates Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin, not at the same performance level they were last season. While Kenseth should get in on points — he’s fourth in the standings with five weeks to go — no one can take anything for granted. Same goes for Clint Bowyer (ninth in points), Greg Biffle (13th) and Kasey Kahne (14th). They are all perennial Chase qualifiers, but could all be bumped if some longshots — see: Aric Almirola at Daytona — start winning some races. A coveted Chase spot could vanish if road course ringer Marcos Ambrose makes it to Victory Lane at Watkins Glen on Sunday. NASCAR also could see hotshot rookies Kyle Larson, a success story from its diversity program, and Austin Dillon, the grandson of team owner Richard Childress, sneak their way into the Chase. Both are currently ranked inside the top 16 in the standings, and should there not be 16 race winners, they’ve got a shot at making the final cut. The story lines are changing every week, and in these dog days of summer, a time when nothing used to matter in NASCAR, everything is going right.

A place that turns back time LESLIEVILLE’S ANTIQUE DAYS SHOWS OFF COLLECTION FROM A DIFFERENT ERA BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF LESLIEVILLE — Earth dwellers have heard varying versions in recent days of the impact storms on the sun would have on our planet. Those versions range in tone from “no worries” to dire predictions of utter destruction. Somewhere in between are recorded incidents of disruptions to satellites and communications systems and massive breakdowns of electrical grids, including the power surge that shut down Quebec’s power grid in March of 2009. Depending on whose version you believe and assuming that the sunny side of the planet does not fry, how well prepared are you for a massive power outage, perhaps coupled with a breakdown of communications systems and sensitive electronics? “Not very,” say people gathered for the Leslieville Antique and Model Club’s annual show and festival during the past weekend. Set up on donated land east of the hamlet, the club continues to amass a collection of machinery, building and tools created in an era when people in developed regions were making the transition from horse power to steam, diesel and gas. Water wells and creeks doubled as refrigerators, vegetables

and berries were preserved in quart sealers, wood and coal fired the stoves and water was drawn by hand or by the power of the wind. Most of the tools to perform those tasks exist in the Leslieville club’s collection, but there are very few people who know how to use them, say those do. Octogenarian Lawrence Stewart, born in Stettler at the start of the Great Depression and now living in the rural area near Strachan, said he has had to step in on a number of occasions during Leslieville Antique Days, when inexperienced hands have tried in vain to fire up the wood cookstoves. Some have tried to light the fire in the oven itself, while others failed to recognize the functions of the various dampers needed to get the fire started and then manage the flow of heat without filling their kitchens with smoke and driving everyone outside. He says he has reached an age where he would be unable to work in his shop or on his farm without the use of power tools and a good tractor. There was no power in 1956, when he and his wife bought their farm. He dug a hole in the ground on the north side of a hill for cold storage and his wife and mother-in-law canned all of their meat, including moose. Mixed with a bit of milk and some potatoes, canned moose makes a really great hash, he says. Marilyn Studer, whose family farms in the Stauffer area, says they are now growing or raising almost all of their own food and are learning to drive horses and oxen for transportation and field work. Waiting until the power goes out is waiting to long to learn how to function without out it,

Flavours are added in and whey is squeezed out as Michelle Studer creates a small batch of mozzarella cheese the old-fashined way — by hand.

Lawrence Stewart of the Strachan district, south of Rocky Mountain House, says few people today have the necessary know-how to live without electricity. says Studer If the cell networks fail, there will be no way to ask Google for help, she says. As she speaks, her hands are gently kneading and squeezing a wet clump of curds and whey that will eventually form into a nice wheel of mozzarella cheese. It will be ready tomorrow, says Studer as she mixes cumin and fresh dill weed into the curds. Milking a cow doesn’t require electricity, but very few people have a cow or would know how to get the milk if they did, says Studer. “We have, in this generation, 80 per cent of people living in cities and they’re very vulnerable because they have no way to grow food,” she said. “It would be like in the 30s.” A few metres away, Antique Days volunteer and former schoolteacher Glenda Anderson takes a seat at the front of the class in the one-room school where she spend a portion of her childhood. Her dad was one of the first students in the Shady Lane School in 1913 when it was first built, a few kilometres southeast of the grounds where it now sits. There was no electricity in the school, says Anderson. The students helped bring in wood to keep the fire going in a potbellied stove at the back of the room and light streamed in through the tall windows lining both sides of the building. Water was pumped by hand from a rusty well outside. Anderson had moved away for a few years as a young teacher and eventually returned to the family farm where she now lives.

Glenda Anderson of Leslieville sits at the front of the classroom in the one-room school where she learned her A-B-Cs. Light came through the school houses tall windows and, when it was cold outside, the students split and carried wood for the fire. There was no electricity on the farm until 1968. The house that’s there now is as up to date as any. Candles, coal-oil lamps and wood heat are available if needed. The only drawback, says Anderson, is that there is no way to draw water without power for the pump. That’s pretty much the story for anyone living in the country now, says club president Howard Dell. He recalls griping about the price of electricity with a friend, who turned the tables and asked him where he’d be without it. There would be no power to pump gas, no way to use credit and debit machines, no motors for manufacturing things, no lights and no fans to running heating and cooling systems. “You can’t do one thing without it,” said Dell.

Red Deer public market is bigger than ever BY BRENDA KOSSOWAN ADVOCATE STAFF Walking a few blocks or shelling out a bit of cash was little more than a minor inconvenience for the throngs of shoppers who crowded into the Red Deer public market on Saturday morning. The extra walk and the premium pricing are worth it for top-quality fruits, vegetables and meats and all of the other merchandise and services offered on the parking lot, lawns and street in front of the Red Deer Arena, said people who were filling carts and shopping bags with food, handcrafts, jewelery and an assortment of other stuff. Bigger than ever, the Red Deer public market has spread in three directions from the parking lot it first occupied, putting more pressure on streets and adjoining parking lots, including the big spaces at the Red Deer Lodge Hotel. Susan and Scott Grant of Saskatoon, in town for a tennis tournament and visiting the Red Deer market for the first time, said they were more than happy to pay $2 to park close by, especially knowing that their money would support local charities. A hotel employee directing traffic at the entrance confirmed that cash collected from market shoppers is sharing parking income with the Red Deer & District SPCA and the Canadian Red Cross. Regular shoppers at other markets, including Calgary and Saskatoon, the Grants said Red Deer was well beyond anything they had expected to find, both in terms of the number of vendors and in the quality and variety of merchandise being offered. “It’s busier than I ever thought Red Deer would be, for sure,” said Susan. “It’s a great way to spend Sat-

Saskatoon residents Susan and Scott Grant, in Red Deer to visit family on Saturday, were amazed at the scope of Red Deer’s public market and more than happy to pay $2 for a parking space close to the action. urday morning,” said Scott. Not only was Red Deer bigger than he had expected, there was more focus on people selling their own products, and the vendors have come from quite a way out, he said, pointing to a booth from Drumheller. He described parking as a “piece of cake.” Susan’s brother, Red Deer resident Glenn Lloyd, said parking is a bit more of a hassle when you’re trying to park a full-sized pickup truck. On-street parking was further complicated by curb construction along the main road leading between the hotel and the arena. The goods are expensive and you have to walk quite a ways, but it’s worth it, said Serena Handford of Innisfail. Handford cannot get to the farmer’s markets that are closer to her because they take place

during the week, when she has to work. Instead, she drives to Red Deer, parks about three blocks down the road, and then walks back with her bags full. “Nothing’s cheap here. That’s the only thing I don’t like about this. The cherries, you can definitely tell the difference. They’re a lot bigger here, whereas you go to the store and their smaller — not as tasty, either.” Handford said she makes a point to arrive as early as possible, because parking is “a nightmare” by about 11 a.m. There’s lots of parking at 7 a.m., said Nadine Cowles, who was helping in her mother’s booth for the day. The new strip along the street has cut into the space available for parking, said Cowles. But parking woes don’t seem to have had any impact on the people attending the mar-

ket, she said. “It’s always full, and they find a way to get here. It’s full every week, unless the weather’s terrible, then it scares a lot of certain people away, but there’s the ones that are always here,” said Cowles. Fruit and vegetable growers attending the market said they’ve had a pretty good summer so far. Paul Hofer from the Pine Hill Hutterite Colony, west of Penhold, said they had to irrigate their garden plots at the start of the season, but everything is now growing very nicely. “It was slow at first, but after that it just took right off,” said Hofer. “Our best markets are Lacombe, Innisfail, Sylvan Lake and then here,” he said. From a vegetable vendor’s perspective, the farmer’s markets are preferable because they are restricted to products that are offered by the people who produce them. At the public market, anything goes, said Hofer. Pine Hill Colony has been attending the Red Deer Public Market since its inception, more than 40 years ago, he said. Susanna Neumann of Innisfail Growers said their farms have been having “not too bad” a year. “We’re missing our peas and beans. They had hail a couple of weeks ago that really hurt the crop bad.” Neumann said the earlier plants suffered most from the hail and are not likely to produce much, but the growers are hoping for good results from later plantings. Red Deer Public Market is open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. until noon, running through to and including the Thanksgiving weekend. The market sets up in the parking lot north of the Red Deer Arena, at 47th Avenue and 43rd Street. bkossowan@reddeeradvocate. com

This image made from video taken on Sunday hows Iraqis people from the Yazidi community arriving in Irbil in northern Iraq after Islamic militants attacked the towns of Sinjar and Zunmar. Around 40,000 people crossed the bridge of Shela in Fishkhabur into the Northern Kurdish Region of Iraq, after being given an ultimatum by Islamic militants to either convert to Islam, pay a security tax, leave their homes or die.

Sign of co-operation IRAQ AIR FORCE TO BACK KURDS BATTLING ISLAMIC STATE OFFENSIVE IN THE NORTH AS REFUGEES FLEE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has called upon his country’s armed forces to help the Kurdish military battle a Sunni militant offensive in northern Iraq that has caused tens of thousands of people from the minority Yazidi community to flee their homes. It was the first sign of co-operation between Baghdad and Irbil, the capital of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region, since Iraq’s second-largest city, Mosul, was taken over by the Islamic State group in June, signalling a degree of rapprochement in the face of the country’s deteriorating security crisis. Iraq’s military spokesman Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said Monday that al-Maliki has

commanded the air force to provide aerial support to the Kurds in the first sign of cooperation between the two militaries since Iraq’s second largest city, Mosul, was captured by the militants on June 10. Iraq is facing its worst crisis since the 2006 civil war when the Islamic State group captured large swaths of land straddling the Syria-Iraq border with the goal of establishing a self-styled caliphate. When it overran the cities of Mosul and Tikrit in June, Iraqi security forces virtually collapsed, with police and soldiers abandoning arsenals of heavy weapons. The Islamic State captured the northern towns of Sinjar and Zumar on Saturday, prompting an estimated 40,000 from the minority Yazidi sect to flee, said Jawhar Ali Begg, a spokesman for the community. The Sunni militants have targeted minority communities in areas they have conquered. “Their towns are now controlled by (Islamic State) and their shrine has been blown up,” Begg told The Associated Press. The militant group gave the Yazidis, who follow an ancient religion with links to Zoroastrianism, an ultimatum to convert to Islam, pay a tax or face death, Begg added.

The United Nations said last month that more than 500,000 people have been displaced by the violence since June, bringing the total this year to 1.4 million, including more than 230,000 Syrian refugees. The group drove ethnic and religious minorities out of Mosul, and attacked mosques and shrines, claiming they contradicted strict Islamic teachings. Kurdish forces have been battling with the militants for control of several towns stretching between the province of Nineveh and the Kurdish Iraqi province of Dahuk. At least 25 Kurdish fighters were killed in clashes with the militants on Sunday, and another 120 were wounded, according to Muhssin Mohamed, a Dahuk-based doctor. A statement Monday by the Islamic State said it had captured dozens of Kurdish prisoners during the clashes and seized “large number” of weapons. The authenticity of the statement could not be verified, but it was posted on a website used by the group. Kurdish state-media reported late Monday that peshmerga units surrounded the town of Shangal and were able to capture it from militants seeking refuge there.

TOBRUK, Libya — Opponents of Islamists dominated the key inaugural session of Libya’s new parliament on Monday, underscoring the decisive defeat suffered in recent elections by factions of political Islam who previously led a majority. In the weeks leading up the session, Islamic militias - armed wings of Islamic factions and cities’ allied to them like Misrata - launched a violent offensive, battling with rivals in the capital Tripoli and overwhelming much of the country’s second largest city, Benghazi. Opponents accuse Islamists of pushing the country closer to a civil war to make up for their election losses. Islamists say they are battling remnants of the old regime of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. “They lost their minds after the popular rejection was huge in polls,” said independent lawmaker Faraj Najim, in charge of a logistical committee in the new parliament. “But the bottom line is: this is not about ideology. It’s a fight over the cake, over power.” Since Gadhafi’s downfall and killing in a 2011 uprising, the nature of the struggle in Libya took on several layers, where cities, ideologies and tribes are all intertwined. Libya’s army and police have been left shattered, and instead of dismantling the militias, successive interim governments have depended on them for restoring order temporarily. But government funding to the groups only boosted their numbers and power. When the first post-war parliament was elected in 2012, politicians began using militias to pressure it to pass laws they favoured. Armed groups that originated from the coastal city of Misrata allied with Islamic political factions, creating a formidable alliance that controlled a strong force on the ground - the very fighters that launched a wide offensive in the capital as Islamists lost

Feds say NYC jails extremely violent, unsafe for teenage inmates NEW YORK — New York City’s juvenile jails are extremely violent and unsafe, the result of a deeply ingrained culture of violence in which guards routinely violate constitutional rights of teenage inmates and subject them to “rampant use of unnecessary and excessive force,” the federal government said in a scathing report released Monday. The report, the result of a 2 ½-year Justice Department investigation into violence at three Rikers Island juvenile jail facilities, recommended major reforms to almost every aspect of how young offenders are treated.

In this image made from AP video on Friday, plumes of smoke and debris rise from a base of Islamic militias after a MiG fighter jet’s strike in Benghazi, Libya. MiG fighter jets, reportedly under the control of renegade general, Khalifa Hifter, struck in retaliation the bases of Islamic militias in Benghazi on Friday, as a coalition of Islamic militias over the past week captured a number of army bases in Benghazi, driving out troops and police and seizing large weapon stores. heavily in the last election. Other armed groups like those originally from the mountain town of Zintan allied with a non-Islamist political grouping headed at one point by liberal-minded former premier Mahmoud Jibril. These militias, known as QaaQaa and Sawaq, have controlled the airport ever since Gadhafi’s overthrow, becoming a centre of power in the capital. Meanwhile, in Benghazi, Islamic militias including extremist ones like Ansar al-Shariah have been accused of carrying out a wave of assassinations, kidnappings and bombings of army troops. Residents have staged dozens of demonstrations demanding the militias’

dismantlement. The uneasy balance of power in the capital, and the stalemate in Benghazi crumbled when renegade general Khalifa Hifter announced a campaign in May to rid the country of Islamist militias and parties, in an open offensive where allied forces launched airstrikes against the militias’ compounds. The election results appeared to have tipped the balance for good. Islamic militias and their allied factions reacted by launching their own offensives, one on the Tripoli airport and another to take Benghazi.

It identified problems that occurred between 2011 and 2013 on Rikers that also likely hold true for adult inmates, including poor staff training, inadequate investigations, an ineffective management structure and the overuse of solitary confinement, particularly for mentally ill inmates. “It is a place where brute force is the first impulse rather than the last resort; where verbal insults are repaid with physical injuries; where beatings are routine while accountability is rare; and where a culture of violence endures even while a code of silence prevails,” said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara at a news conference. In past cases investigated by the Justice Department’s civil rights division, federal authorities work with local officials to reform the jails and reserve the right to sue if they feel reforms are not being done. Mayor Bill de Blasio has promised to reform the nation’s second-largest jail system, with an average of 11,500 inmates held at any time. In March, he appointed Joseph Ponte, a longtime corrections official from Maine with a reputation as a reformer.

Defence asks judge in NYC to toss out bulk of evidence in drugs website case as illegal NEW YORK — Lawyers for a San Francisco man charged with operating an online marketplace for illegal drugs are asking a judge in New York to toss out most of the evidence against him. The lawyers say in court papers that the government violated the Fourth Amendment ban on illegal searches and seizures when it searched the online history of Ross Ulbricht. Ulbricht is awaiting trial in Manhattan federal court on charges of narcotics trafficking, computer hacking and money laundering. He has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers wrote that much of the evidence should be thrown out because it resulted from searches of his entire digital history. The defence papers were filed Friday. A prosecutor’s spokeswoman declined to comment Monday.

er, playing catch, kicking and shoving each other and completely destroying my ability to concentrate on the mass. The parents did absolutely nothing. The father fell asleep, and the mother never looked at her kids, not even when they bumped against her. Right before communion, they started pinching each other and whimpering in pain. By then I couldn’t take it anymore. I told them to knock it off. They stopped and put their heads on their parents’ shoulders. The parents glanced at me with astonishment. Meanwhile, in the row behind me was a single mom with four kids who left twice with the baby for 10 minutes and left the rest of her little kids alone. Parents seem to think that their children have the right to do anything they want whenever they want. Then they wonder why the kids get into trouble. —Fed-Up Grandma in Chicago

OTTAWA — Health Canada says thousands of bike and skateboard helmets are being voluntarily recalled due to a potential safety hazard. It says FGL Sports Ltd. is recalling its helmets sold under the Capix Evo and Capix Jr Evo brands as a precautionary measure due to a manufacturing defect that may cause cracks near rivets securing the chin strap. Health Canada says there have been no reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of the helmets. Approximately 8,684 of the recalled helmets were sold at Sport Chek, Sports Experts, Intersport and S3 stores across Canada.

Rhode Island man sues soccer star Ronaldo over trademark, says he owns rights to ’CR7’ in U.S. PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Rhode Island man has sued Cristiano Ronaldo over the phrase “CR7,” which is used by soccer fans around the world as shorthand for the Real Madrid forward. Christopher Renzi filed the lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in Providence against the Portuguese soccer star and a Danish company, JBS Textile Group. The firm sells underwear with the phrase “CR7,” a combination of Ronaldo’s initials and jersey number. Renzi’s lawyer said on Thursday that his client was prompted to file the lawsuit against one of the world’s most famous athletes after JBS Textile lawyers threatened his client with aggressive action and petitioned to cancel his trademark. “The other side says he is trying to trade on Ronaldo’s fame, and there’s really nothing to that,” lawyer Michael Feldhuhn said. “I knew who Ronaldo was, and I didn’t think of CR7 as some kind of famous trademark.” Renzi applied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the trademark in 2008 and it was granted in 2009. His lawyer says Renzi uses “CR7” — a combination of Renzi’s own initials and the day he was born, Oct. 7. — on clothing and for a sevenminute exercise program.

Dear Grandma: Parents often don’t realize that discipline makes children feel secure and loved. When kids are allowed to run wild, they don’t know what the boundaries are, and they keep pushing until they do. But we also understand that parents of young children can be exhausted. We admire those who are kind enough to engage the children in some quiet activity and give the parents a break. Dear Annie: I never had a weight problem until I was older. When I read about “Concerned Old Man in West Hills” calling his niece “fat,” it reminded me of a T-shirt I once saw. It said, “I may be fat, but you are ugly, and I can diet.” —Toledo, Ohio Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

What’s Remarkable About Red Deer?

Group selfies get a name the frame. The Times of India in March said Pope Francis’ group selfie with visitors at the Vatican last year “could possibly be the first chronicled celebrity usie.” And a PopStopTV.com report from June was headlined: “Selfies Are Dead, Usie is the Latest Trend!” But the term is so new and relatively obscure that it wasn’t used to describe the famous group Red selfie of Ellen DeGeneres and other celebrities in March during the Academy Awards. “There are countless variations on the theme, including ’twofie,’ ’threefie,’ et cetera, if you want to specify the number of people photographed,” said Zimmer.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — What do you call a group selfie? An usie, of course! As in “us.” Pronounced uss-ee, rhymes with fussy. “Usies are a growing trend that I think have far more social value than selfies,” said Michal Ann Strahilevitz, a professor of marketing at Golden Gate University in San Francisco who studies consumer behaviour. “It’s magical capturing moments we share with other people.” In contrast to one-person selfies, usies are “more about the relationship, and less about you and your hair,” she said. The word — sometimes spelled usie, sometimes ussie — has been showing up in written material since at least April 2013, according to Ben Zimmer, executive producer of Vocabulary.com and language columnist for The Wall Street Journal. A Business Insider story from January noted that the outstretched arm of the photo-taker in usies is a “signature” of the image, because the shooter has to get the camera far enough away to get the group in

Why So Much Information?

Dear Dr. D: – I was in a dentist's office recently and I couldn't believe the rd 3 degree interrogation I got about my health and my teeth. All I want is to fix the appearance of my front teeth. How much simpler can this be?

A:

I appreciate your frustration. What may seem like endless forms and questions can be tiring, or even annoying to some. Think 'car accident' for a moment. If you get into a fender bender and need your vehicle repaired, the paperwork at the insurance company can be daunting. You will be creating a little diagram of the accident scene, reporting on weather, perhaps tested for alcohol at the scene, and sending your car off to both a body shop as well as to the insurance company for inspection. This may have been none of your fault – you just got rear ended at an intersection. The reason all this is necessary is the word 'liability'. Nobody wants it. When an adjustor signs off, he is potentially responsible if something is missed. Everyone has their license at stake. Communication is key, and hidden damage is what everyone needs to reveal or avoid.

GOODBYE SUMMER SALE

Back to dentistry – everything is not as it always seems. We have government and industry required medical forms. Your dental health and your overall health are very interrelated. You may have been prescribed a new medication for a heart problem, and this can have a critical effect on your perio (or gum) health. You may have a history of bulimia which, with acid exposure and bruxism, has deteriorated your enamel and softened and discoloured your teeth. In this case, we need to ensure the patient is past that phase before we attempt any reconstruction work or it will be pointless. Some patients we see have clear evidence of illegal drug use which manifests itself in destruction of their teeth, and they frequently deny it. If I didn't know that going in, I may not be able to achieve the best result for you. Not only is your medical past and present helpful to your dentist, it is also a strict legal requirement. Beyond the legalities – communication is important to achieve a realistic treatment plan. Some patients think if they spend $1,000 on their mouth that is too much. One patient I know spent $182,000 on his mouth and says it was the best investment he ever made! We need you to be as explicit as possible about your 'perfect' result. My clinical team and lab partners must ensure that we can deliver what we promise as well as what you desire, at a final fee that is workable for your budget. We're not your banker, so it is necessary to lay out all the options including the pros and cons of each, in order for you to make your best decision for you. Insurance is very rarely involved in cosmetic and implant restorative work, but a case is usually completed over a longer time frame which helps patients budget for it.
