SUPERDOGS

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Even if it rains during Westerner Days — the show will go on — since there’s plenty of indoor entertainment, concerts and activities to be had each day.

Indoors at Adventure Alley, the furry stars of President’s Choice SuperDogs Hollywoof show are eager to perform for animal lovers.

Set to movie music, about 40 dogs race around, jump, tunnel, and perform tricks with the audience cheering them on.

“I saw lots of full stands yesterday. They get into the personalities of dogs,” said dog trainer Sarah Laudin, on Thursday about the SuperDog audience.

Laudin, of Red Deer, has trained Hip Hop, a small, mixed-breed dog, who skips rope and is one of the fastest canines in the show.

“They love to get out and play. This is fun agility. There’s no competition.

This is entertainment.”

Best of all, the dogs have a good time, she said.

“They are our pets. They are our buddies,” Laudin said.

Trainer Bree Philipoff, of Calgary, said her golden doodle Maxie is a regular ‘Lady Gaga’ when she has an audience.

“She loves the spotlight. When people cheer for her, she gets really excited about that,” Philipoff said.

Audience members also get into the act during the Frozen Showdown when dogs race to retrieve clothing for volunteers to wear.

“In Hollywood, there’s always wardrobe assistants. The dogs are the wardrobe assistants.”

After the show, people can meet the trainers and their dogs.

Also located in Adventure Alley is Little Ray’s Australia featuring exotic animals from Down Under, and next door is the indoor Holiday Inn 19th Street Market. Agricultural activities at the fair are also held indoors.

At Alex LaSalle’s Petting Pals, visitors can pet farm animals inside the

Little Red Barn where they can purchase hay pellets to feed the goats, sheep, donkey, camel and other critters.

Petting Pals owner Alex LaSalle said the Highland calf, who almost looks like a buffalo, is attracting a lot of attention.

“Everyone’s trying to figure out what he is,” LaSalle said with a smile.

He said the animals spend a lot of time with humans and are fed by hand to keep them tame when they aren’t in the petting zoo.

He said children who come out to meet the animals have a refreshing attitude. “(Children) appreciate animals more today, maybe through education at the schools.”

And the animals are happy to meet the kids.

“Wherever they get fed all the time, they like it,” LaSalle said.

Meghan Gustum, marketing manager for Westerner Days, is looking forward to a sunny weekend so people can enjoy the fair’s indoor and outdoor activities.

Central Alberta’s future gathering momentum

BY CAROLYN MARTINDALE CITY EDITOR Central Alberta is full of promise and potential, and our young people are the evidence.

Many extraordinary young people hail from this region.

Today, the Red Deer Advocate celebrates the next generation of movers and shakers in its 2015 edition of Momentum.

The young people we feature have followed their dreams to such places as the racetrack, the tennis court and performance halls. Some have excelled in research, business or music. Some remain in the Central Alberta. Others have moved elsewhere to follow their passion and develop their expertise.

The people are as diverse as our area.

Andrew Phypers is an Aboriginal man who was a father at 17. He pulled himself out of poverty and put himself through law school to support his family.

Phypers now operates his own Red Deer law firm that includes many Aboriginal clients.

Growing up, Serena Bos didn’t need a teddy bear.

Parole hearing for convicted drunk driver back on

Restaurants consider raising prices to keep up with cost of food

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canadians grown accustomed to paying more for their groceries shouldn’t expect to find cheaper prices in the country’s restaurants.

Quarterly figures from Restaurants Canada suggests that 65 per cent of the country’s eateries report their food budgets are higher than they were at the same time last year.

They say soaring prices for beef, pork and produce are eating into already razor-thin profit margins.

In order to keep up, 54 per cent of restaurants say they’re expecting to raise their menu prices some time in the next six months.

That’s up slightly from the previous quarter when 50 per cent of restaurants responding to the organization’s outlook survey planned to raise their rates.

Spokeswoman Joyce Reynolds says restaurants don’t make such decisions lightly, since price increases are an almost surefire way to keep business away.

“It’s an extremely competitive industry, and they have very price-resistant customers,” Reynolds said in a telephone interview. “When they try to increase their prices, they find that customers aren’t willing to pay them.”

Food prices have been climbing in recent months with the cost of beef causing particular consternation.

According to Statistics Canada data released earlier this month, the price at slaughter for 100 pounds of Alberta beef rose to $192.80 in May. That’s a 36 per cent jump from May 2014 and now stands as the highest price on record.

StatsCan figures also suggest the surge is not limited to domestic meat products.

The May consumer price index found that overall food prices had jumped 3.8 per cent from where they stood a year earlier. The year-over-year spike covered all food products. Meat costs soared 7.9 per cent, vegetable prices surged 5.8 per cent, baked goods climbed 3.0 per cent and fruit was 2.9 per cent more expensive.

StatsCan reported that the price increases had already begun to trickle down to the country’s restaurants, with menu prices rising 2.9 per cent since May 2014. This marked the sharpest increase in four years. The StatsCan figures tally with the recent experience at Richmond Station, a downtown Toronto restaurant whose menu is designed around local ingredients.

A parole hearing for a Lacombe woman convicted of drunk driving in a crash that killed two Red Deer teenagers is back on.

About three weeks after cancelling her scheduled parole hearing, April Gail Beauclair, 33, has scheduled a new parole hearing. She is seeking unescorted temporary absences from jail.

On June 15, correspondence with the Parole Board of Canada indicated Beauclair had scheduled a parole hearing for Aug. 6 or 7. Then, on June 25, a news release indicated she had cancelled the hearing.

A message from the Parole Board of Canada on Thursday said the hearing was back on for Aug. 6 or 7. The hearing will focus on unescorted temporary absences from custody.

These types of absences provide inmates with an opportunity to access the community or another institution for medical, administrative, personal responsibility, compassionate reasons, community service, family contact, personal development or rehabilitative purposes.

Beauclair was convicted in October 2012 of two counts of impaired driving causing death and sentenced to three-and-a-half years in custody.

In March 2012, Beauclair drove her car at about

Penhold issues outdoor water ban One of Penhold’s water wells is out of service, and as a result the town has issued an outdoor water ban.

In a Thursday news release, the town indicated it is operating on its secondary water well and is unable to meet the total daily demand for water until the first well is up and running.

Pump 1 regularly provides about 60 per cent of the town’s water. Equipment is being delivered to pull the pump, examine the problem and take necessary action.

Alberta Environment is working with the town to get the pump back into action as soon as possible.

Colton Keeler, 19, died at the scene. Tyson Vanderzwaag, 18, died in hospital six days after the crash. The car’s driver was pushing from the side of the car and suffered serious injuries.

The three teens were trying to push start their disabled car.

Beauclair was previously granted day parole, but was denied full parole in November 2013. At the time, the parole board ruled she needed a more structure environment.

At that hearing, Beauclair said she had driven drunk more than 50 times before the morning of the fatal crash.

On Oct. 1, 2014, the parole board revoked her day parole due to a number of concerns about her behaviour. The parole board cited missed counselling and programing sessions that were part of her conditions for day parole. She also cancelled her programs without consulting her parole officer.

Beauclair is eligible for statutory release on Sept.

However, the parole board can impose conditions on an offender’s release. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com outdoor watering including: ● No watering of lawns.

Paralyzed Filipino woman ordered deported, asks to stay in Canada EDMONTON — A Filipino woman who ordered deported from Canada after being paralysed in an accident has met with Alberta’s health minister and asked to be allowed to stay in the country.

Vicky Venancio, 29, was left paralyzed in June 2012 when a truck knocked her off her bike while she was riding to her job. The extent of her injuries left her unable to work, resulting in her temporary work permit to expire. Her health care also expired and a deportation order for her was issued in February.

“Like any outdoor event, we’re at the mercy of the weather. But it usually works out pretty well for us,” Gustum said.

The warm, sunny weather drew 13,620 people to Westerner Days on opening day on Wednesday.

The attendance record was set in 2010 with 15,410 people.

Westerner Park and All Pro Chuckwagon and Chariot Association canceled Thursday night’s Red Deer Motors North American Pony Chuckwagon Championships due to the weather for the safety of the animals and drivers.

Gustum said Friday’s fireworks will go ahead at 10:45 p.m. if the weather allows.

If necessary, fireworks can be rescheduled for Saturday night at 10:45 p.m.

“Either way, we’ll have the fireworks,” she said.

Frustration continues for former residents of community wiped off map by flood

BRIEF Hiker well prepared for wilderness attack: fends off bruin with bear spray

HIDDEN VALLEY

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CLUNY — There’s little left of an Alberta golf resort east of Calgary destroyed by flooding two years ago except memories and a road that is now closed to the general public.

A small trailer and a steel gate block the road that was once the entrance to Hidden Valley, a resort of about 300 homes located on the Siksika First Nation, about 100 kilometres east of Calgary.

A sign by Health Canada warns “Buildings at Hidden Valley Resort are unfit for human habitation.”

Hidden Valley’s website includes only this message: “Hidden Valley was unfortunately completely decimated by the ”2013 FLOOD“ and no longer exists.”

“It doesn’t bring back great memories. We’ve lost an entire lifestyle, not to mention the financial side of it. I know a lot of families that it was their principal residence,” said Jack Kushner of Calgary.

He’s one of 17 former residents of the resort that have launched a classaction lawsuit against their insurance provider, Intact Insurance. The homes belonged to the residents but the land was leased from Siksika First Nation.

Siksika cancelled the lease after the flood, which saw about 1,000 residents of the reserve leave their homes as the Bow River overflowed.

While Siksika received $93 million in flood relief, none flowed to people living in Hidden Valley nor did any money from the Alberta government’s disaster relief program, which didn’t cover homes not considered “primary residences.”

The lawsuit seeks damages from Intact Insurance for not paying out on damage caused by sewer backup.

Lawyer Clint Docken, who is representing the residents, says all insurance companies paid out for sewage damage except Intact.

“It seems that of all the insurers, the one insurer that has taken a position contrary to the interests of their insurers is Intact. It seems to have been a corporate decision that they were not going to compensate flood victims,” Docken said.

CALGARY — A well-prepared hiker was able to fend off an attacking bear in Kananaskis Country west of Calgary on Wednesday. The bear charged at the Alberta parks employee and knocked him over. But the hiker released bear spray in the animal’s face and the bruin ran off. Brendan Cox with Alberta Fish and Wildlife says signs have been put up in the area and some trails have been closed while staff assess the situation. Cox says the hiker twisted his ankle when he fell, but was otherwise uninjured.

A warning sign at the entrance of the road to the former golf resort of Hidden Valley, Alberta is shown on June 26, 2015. It remains closed more than two years after a massive flood destroyed it. Residents are suing an insurance company for compensation. wouldn’t comment on specific cases.

“For several months we had a team of Intact Insurance employees working around the clock to help affected customers in southern Alberta communities,” Pascal Dessureault, director of communications and public affairs wrote in an email.

Dessureault said Intact has paid out more than $200 million in flood-related claims.

“Following a careful and thorough review, a small number of customers did not have coverage under their policies. With respect to our customers, it

is our policy not to comment on their individual circumstances.”

Docken said there are efforts being made in receiving some overdue compensation from both the Alberta government and Siksika First Nation.

Kushner said it was three weeks after the flooding that residents were finally able to get a look at their homes.

He said their two-story home was uninhabitable.

“It was a nice property, no doubt about it,” Kushner said.

“We feel we’ve been unfairly dealt with, to be honest.”

CANMORE — A man has been struck by lightning while golfing west of Calgary. It happened around 12:30 p.m. at the Canmore Golf and Curling Club. Naomi Nania with EMS says the man in his early 60s was breathing and had a pulse. He was taken by ground ambulance to Canmore hospital, then an air ambulance took him to Calgary.

There are currently no severe thunderstorm warnings issued for the Canmore area. Meteorologist David Spence says more than 90 per cent of people struck by lightning survive.

“But, almost all of them are injured in some way. They are all burned to some extent, the lightning can get into their brains and mess with their minds, erase some memories. You brain controls your movement as well, so if lightning gets into your brain it could paralyze you or impair your movement.”

CTrain system halted in city’s core CALGARY — Thousands of Calgary commuters were late for work Thursday morning when a power interruption shut down light-rail transit service in the city’s downtown.

An issue with overhead lines around 6:00 A.M. halted the CTrain system in the core area.

There was no immediate word from Transit on the cause of the disruption.

FRIDAY, JULY 17, 2015

Keep naughty to yourself WAIVING ONE’S RIGHT TO PRIVACY BY ENGAGING IN THREE-WAY SEX IN A CALGARY ALLEY IS JUST TACKY George Orwell, where are you now?

Are you looking down from some distant lookout, shaking your head and marvelling that the absurd world you imagined way back in 1948 has become so real in 2015?

Are you surprised that the plot twist you didn’t foresee in your dystopian novel 1984 was that people around the world would not only not resist their loss of privacy, but actively embrace DOUG it? Are you askFIRBY ing yourself whether your dark view of humanity wasn’t quite dark enough?

These questions popped into my head as I read the interview in Vice magazine with Alexis Frulling, the young Calgary woman who leapt into celebrity after a video of her having

INSIGHT

sex with two local men in a downtown alley during the Calgary Stampede was posted on the Internet, and went viral.

Frulling, exposed as it were, has gone on the offensive, accusing society of holding a double-standard for shaming her and not the two men involved in the incident (she has a point there) and expressing that, after all, she’s an adult and she can do whatever she wants (also true).

She has also created a four-minute video, in which she rambles on defiantly about her rights and asks how many of us haven’t made choices while under the influence that we might not make under different circumstances.

Again, she has a point — the risk of hypocrisy in those who judge her is high.

But even if we concede all of those points, Frulling is still failing to appreciate something equally important — why society is aware at all that she had done something that would become such a hot topic of conversation.

The decision to engage in unconventional sex in an alley during daylight does come with the risk that someone will spot you.

Like it or not, the locale amounts to

a waiving of one’s right to privacy.

In a 2013 essay entitled So Are We Living in 1984?, The New Yorker made this observation: “Regardless of the actual scope of the government’s snooping programs, the notion of digital privacy must now, finally and forever, seem a mostly quaint one.”

Twenty-five years ago, getting naughty in the alley would have, at worst, quickened the hearts of a few condo-dwellers peering out their back windows. Today, the ability to capture almost anything on video — from car crashes to unprovoked police assaults — and then make that video available to the world is a given.

Frulling is partly a victim of this modern technological age, but also an unwitting advocate.

The fact her Stampede revelry went viral was to be expected, and the three partners’ decision not to seek a more secluded spot simply confirmed that they, like so many, simply don’t care that much.

I honestly don’t care what this woman chose to do. People have been making lifestyle decisions throughout human history, and those who aren’t

involved aren’t affected.

I do, however, wish I didn’t have to know about it.

But then, we live in an age when we know more about people than we ever have before. I read details about people’s lives on Facebook — details they have volunteered — that sometimes make me uneasy.

I know more about these people who are casual friends — their good moods and their bad, their state of health and state of mind — than I sometimes think I should.

It doesn’t feel quite right. I have become an unwitting voyeur.

As with all advances in technology, there is no putting this genie back in the bottle. It has become the new reality.

My hope, however, is that over time, as the novelty of living our lives publicly starts to wear off, all of us will make different choices.

I, for one, would be happier to know a little less about friends and strangers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Why no pictures of Royals from parade coverage?

As a longtime resident of Red Deer, I was disappointed by the Westerner Days parade coverage.

From the Calgary Stampede Show band front page photo, to the second image of the same band on Page C1, I was left wondering why a local paper would not feature our hometown band in at least one photo.

I was also a band parent, and the Red Deer Royals (and now the Regents), have played a significant part in Red Deer’s cultural history. With numerous mayor’s awards and international titles to their name, the band has put Red Deer on the map, musically.

So, why then does the Advocate make an editorial decision to feature the visiting band twice with photos?

At the very least, put the Royals on the front page, and the Calgary band on C1.

I thought this was a Red Deer paper, not a Calgary Herald subsidiary!

By the way, the Royals took first place in auxiliary (colour guard/drum major) the Calgary Stampede parade, and won second place in the senior band category.

Tim Lasiuta Red Deer Editor’s note: The Advocate has long supported the Royals, and will continue to do so, including covering their performance at Westerner Days on Sunday at 2 p.m. We simply chose the best photos for use on Thursday from a parade that featured floats and performers from across the province. Our readers expect to see the best images we have of events that occur in their community; we provided them.

Much more to the story of the Viking ship in Dickson In your July 1 edition, you published a marvelous spread about the Danish Canadian National Museum in Dickson. Thank you very much for that. I hope it encourages many people from Central Alberta to visit the museum. I and many others of Danish background area justifiably proud of the museum.

But you had a major error! The Viking ship, Freydis Joanna, was built in Denmark, not in the Netherlands! It was built by craftsmen at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, Denmark, a small and ancient city not far from Copenhagen.

The museum in Dickson contracted with the museum in Roskilde to build the ship — for a number of reasons, but perhaps the two most significant were: the museum in Roskilde is one of the significant Viking ship museums in Scandinavia, building authentic replicas of Viking ships; and having the ship built in Denmark was of huge significance for the museum in Dickson.

How do I know this?

I brought the proposal to the board of the museum in Dickson that the ship be built in Denmark, I negotiated the contract to have it built, I co-ordinated with the museum in Roskilde throughout its building (including being onsite a number of times), I participated in its christening, launch and “maiden voyage,” all at Roskilde, and I arranged the fiveweek tour of the ship across Canada from Halifax to Dickson when it stopped at all the major places with Canadians of Danish background.

There is much more to the story than this brief account, including the story of the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde! Anyone who is interested further in this can contact me through the Danish Canadian National Museum in Dickson (www.danishcanadians.com).

The right-wing media should give NDP a break There is no better way to bring the masses together than through media control. To publish only partisan news with the obvious aim to win people over is a dangerous undertaking.

Many of Canada’s major newspapers are owned

by Postmedia, led by Conservative supporter Paul Godfrey.

The strictly right wing news and dubious narrative of the Alberta NDP is very concerning. Let’s just look at the recent poll Postmedia conducted, where these right-wing papers stated headlines such as Early poll bad news for NDP government, or Albertans no longer support Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP, but apparently Wildrose’s Brian Jean is in the lead, or another headline: Honeymoon is over for the NDP. Now why would that be, I wonder? First, don’t you think the poll is awfully early into Alberta’s new governments turn, after all the NDP is only governing for a few weeks? Second, why would Albertan’s give the NDP who they voted in with a majority a bad rating so soon? Especially when Rachel Notley’s party followed through with election promises Albertan’s voted them in for, such as: ● No more corporate or union donations. ● Restoring the education cut backs from the PCs, so that 12,000 new Alberta students can go to school. ● Building of the Foothills Cancer centre that was birthed a decade ago, but in spite of millions of dollars in oil revenues never funded by the PCs. Cancer rates in Alberta are suppose to rise up to 60 per cent and the new cancer centre will save patients and family many trip across Calgary’s traffic, in a time they don’t need anymore stress. ● Raising minimum wage by $1 this year — long overdue. Is there anybody who thinks workers don’t

Chances are the poll got something wrong and also to no surprise the right-wing Postmedia failed to mention that the poll also showed that Albertans broadly support the NDP’s policies, the increase to $ 15/hour minimum wage and a higher levy on carbon emissions, policies the Wildrose does not support.

I just hope that Albertans are smart enough to inform themselves through many different sources and use the common sense they are famous for.

Premiers asks feds to cover 25 per cent of health costs ‘PREMIERS DISCUSSED THE ...

GROWING FINANCIAL PRESSURES POPULATION AGING WILL HAVE ON THEIR GOVERNMENTS, PARTICULARLY REGARDING HEALTH CARE.’ — STATEMENT FROM PREMIERS

Energy takes centre stage at meeting

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Several of Canada’s premiers say they’re hopeful a Canadian Energy Strategy can be reached Friday despite regional differences on vocal display at their yearly meeting. Paul Davis, premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, said the provincial and territorial leaders made strides Thursday but need more time.

“I’m very optimistic about the discussions we’ve had today,” he told reporters after the first full day of the Council of the Federation gathering in St. John’s, N.L. Agreement on a national plan to guide future energy projects while also protecting the environment has been on the premiers’ agenda since 2012.

A related vision statement says the strategy should be “consistent with efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions” as it “contributes to continued economic growth and prosperity for all Canadians.”

How to strike that balance was the subject of some inter-provincial friction Thursday.

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall did not mince words as he arrived for the meeting.

In an open jab at Ontario and Quebec, he ex-

pressed concern that some resources are increasingly viewed as a liability in parts of the country.

“This energy strategy mentions oil, but it’s almost in passing,” he said of an early draft of a document the premiers had said they would hammer out before this summer’s meeting. ‘ “It’s almost like we’ve become embarrassed that we have this energy asset and we ought not to be because on the strength of developing that asset, we have funded innumerable social programs. We have created strong economies.”

Wall said there’s growing frustration in the West, where the energy industry creates jobs and helps fund equalization transfers from the federal government to less-wealthy provinces.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, whose NDP government has said it will strike a new course on environmental protection, stressed the need for balance.

“I think that many of the premiers have come together to have mature and productive discussions that will meet the interests of all Canadians, both in terms of promoting jobs and economic prosperity as well as respecting everybody’s concerns about environmental responsibility.”

Notley went farther in an interview with the CBC, saying her role at such meetings is “not about showboating or fun political statements.”

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Canada’s premiers are asking the federal government for more health care funding, saying an increase would help transform the existing health care system and offset the impact of an aging population.

A statement from Premier Paul Davis of Newfoundland and Labrador says the premiers are asking Ottawa to increase the Canada Health Transfer to cover at least 25 per cent of all health-care spending by the provinces and territories.

The statement released by Davis’s office after Thursday’s Council of the Federation meeting in St. John’s says that each province and territory faces similar challenges, including increased overall health care costs, a rising need for home and palliative care and support for “informal” caregivers.

“Premiers discussed the ... growing financial pressures population aging will have on their governments, particularly regarding health care,” reads the statement.

“These financial pressures reinforce the need for the federal government to increase its funding for health care.”

An emailed statement from Health Minister Rona Ambrose’s office says the Conservatives have transferred the highest amounts in history to the provinces and territories for health care and are on track to reach $40 billion annually by the end of the decade.

It says Ottawa will provide $27 billion for health care over the next five years, and health funding was being increased at a higher rate than the provinces were spending it.

Outside the meeting, a small demonstration called attention to medicare funding.

Debbie Forward, president of the Registered Nurses Union of Newfoundland and Labrador, said the federal government is not paying its fair share for health care.

Forward said a report released Thursday by the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions estimates that proposed federal funding changes could drain more than $43 billion from the health system over the next eight years.

Vancouver HIV-AIDS meeting seen as step towards goal of ending pandemic by 2030

CANADA

BRIEFS

NDP says it’s comfortable with candidate who once championed Quebec independence OTTAWA — A federal NDP candidate’s self-described fleeting love affair with Quebec sovereignty is much ado about nothing, the party says.

Beatrice Zako, the NDP hopeful in the Montreal riding of Papineau, used to be in Option nationale, a pro-independence provincial party in Quebec.

But Zako likened her flirtation with independence to a brief love affair. In this case, it was a three-month fling, the length of time she was a member of the party’s national council.

“Sometimes you get charmed, you believe in something,” Zako told The Canadian Press.

“But it only lasted three months. Three months is not really a long time. It took me three months to realize that was not where I really wanted to defend the interests of society.”

Option nationale confirmed Zako resigned shortly after party founder Jean-Martin Aussant stepped down in 2013. Zako’s fling with sovereignty might have been brief but was reportedly quite passionate.

In a 2013 blog for French-language magazine L’actualite, veteran political commentator Josee Legault quoted part of a speech Zako gave at Option nationale’s convention that reportedly thrilled the crowd.

“I am a Quebecer and proud of it,” she was quoted as saying. “I have had two children in Quebec. Quebec is their homeland, their country and my country.

I want to give my children a country. I am looking forward to exchanging my Canadian passport for a Quebec one.”

Moreover, in a document submitted to the 2013 convention, Zako wrote: “I have followed Quebec politics, analyzed situations and it is time for me to choose. So I have decided to fight for QUEBEC INDEPENDENCE.” The NDP said it isn’t bothered by Zako’s former political affiliation. Party spokesman Marc-Andre Viau said Zako’s community service exposed her to different political parties at the provincial and municipal level.

“She was interested in the political adventure ... and quickly realized that the sovereigntist option was not for her,” he said in an email.

Montreal peace-bond case to return to court July 22 MONTREAL — The case of a Montreal man who is accused of violating the terms of a terrorism-related peace bond will return to court July 22.

Merouane Ghalmi was granted bail this past May after his arrest for allegedly breaking a condition he was not to consult terrorism materials online.

He was released after agreeing to several strict conditions that forbid him from going on the Internet. Ghalmi, who is in his early 20s, was also ordered to continue wearing a tracking bracelet monitoring his movements. A summons was issued in February for Ghalmi after the RCMP expressed fear he would commit a terrorism offence.

Robbery of Ontario store by knifewielding mouse makes headlines BARRIE, Ont. — A robbery in a city about 85 kilometres north of Toronto is making international headlines.

Police in Barrie, Ont., are looking for a suspect who robbed a convenience store armed with a knife while wearing a plush mouse or rat mask over his head. A headline in The Telegraph says “Canadian police are on the hunt for a barefoot man disguised as a mouse.” The Irish Examiner posted the surveillance video online with the headline “CCTV: Watch man disguised as a mouse rob shop at knifepoint.”

Police say the robber made off with a quantity of cash in the incident early Tuesday and left the mask and knife outside the store. The suspect is described as a barefoot six-foot, skinny white male, who was wearing black pants, and a long sleeve shirt.

IAS CONFERENCE

TORONTO — More than 6,000 international experts on HIV-AIDS will gather in Vancouver this weekend to share the latest scientific advances in the fight to eradicate the disease, which first emerged almost 35 years ago and exploded into a global pandemic.

The 8th International AIDS Society (IAS) Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention will bring together researchers, clinicians, community leaders and public health experts from around the world. It’s the second time that Vancouver has hosted an IAS meeting in the last 20 years.

“This conference really is a focal point for the exchange of scientific information regarding HIV and AIDS,” said Dr. Julio Montaner, director of the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV-AIDS, which is cohosting the meeting.

The scientific gathering comes at a critical point in global efforts to control the pandemic, which has devastated populations in several developing nations, particularly in Africa, said Montaner.

On Tuesday, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced that the goal of having 15 million HIVpositive people on antiretroviral therapy by the end of 2015 — the so-called 15 by 15 strategy — had been achieved in March, nine months early.

New HIV infections have fallen by 35 per cent and AIDS-related deaths by 41 per cent since the goal was set in 2000, primarily because of antiretroviral drugs, which suppress the ability of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to replicate and infect cells. The triple-drug cocktail stops the infection from progressing to AIDS. It was at the 1996 AIDS conference in Vancouver that researchers first heard about the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy, or ART, which has turned HIV infection from an automatic death sentence into a chronic but manageable disease.

Montaner, whose team has been among those at the forefront of ART research, presented data at the 2006 IAS meeting in Toronto suggesting that the drugs could not only prevent HIV from developing into AIDS, but also stop transmission to others by significantly reducing viral levels in the body.

The UN program on HIV-AIDS, or UNAIDS, attributes the success of its “15 by 15” goal to the roll-out of antiretroviral therapy, and led Ban to proclaim this week that the world is now “on the way to a generation free of AIDS” — a target hoped to be achieved by 2030.

The latest research to be presented in Vancouver will show how close scientists actually are to that objective.

IAS president Dr. Chris Beyrer, a co-principal investigator of the Johns Hopkins Center for AIDS Research in Baltimore, said the conference will focus on four broad themes: earlier antiretroviral treatment; preventive treatment, known as PREP; research on a potential cure; and treating people coinfected with HIV and hepatitis C. Among the key presentations is one on the implications of the START study, a randomized controlled trial of 5,000 HIV-positive people in 35 countries. The START trial was halted early when interim results showed that beginning antiretroviral treatment soon after diagnosis cut the risk of serious illness or death in half, compared with deferring treatment until the virus’ effects on the immune system had reached a certain level.

“We’re really pleased that we will see final detailed analysis of the START trial,” Beyrer told a recent media briefing.

While many countries advocate early treatment, some like the U.K. follow a deferred treatment regimen, so disseminating the study results is important, he said.

Ethics officer to review workplace harassment allegations against Meredith SENATE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Speaker of the Senate says the upper chamber’s ethics officer has been asked to look into Sen. Don Meredith over the results of an investigation into how he treated his office staff.

Leo Housakos publicly confirmed in a short statement Thursday morning that Meredith has been told he will undergo an ethics probe.

Housakos says he and other top senators on the Senate’s internal economy committee felt it was “imperative” the investigation results be referred to ethics officer Lyse Ricard.

Depending on the outcome of the latest ethics review, Meredith could face penalties ranging from a forced public apology on the floor of the Senate — which is the punishment for former Conservative Pierre Hugues Boisvenu when he was found last year to have violated the Senate’s ethics code — to suspension without pay. Sources told The Canadian Press Wednesday night that six former staffers who spoke with outside investigators made allegations

of workplace harassment against Meredith, saying he was a bully, rude and unprofessional towards his staff. There are also allegations of psychological harassment and sometimes making irrational demands of his staff. The allegations in the investigation report remain unproven and none of the staffers who took part, nor any whose stories are included in the report, wanted to file a formal complaint against Meredith, sources say. The Senate first ordered the investigation into Meredith’s office in February after top senators, including former Speaker Pierre Claude Nolin, witnessed what they felt was a troubling turnover of staff in Meredith’s office. The Senate’s internal economy committee called in outside investigators to speak with former staffers and Senate human resources officials as well as Meredith himself. Six staffers who left Meredith’s office in the last four years and spoke with investigators are not identified in the report and only took part on the condition that their names be protected.

The investigators’ report has not been made public. Two more staffers who left Meredith’s office in the last four years declined to take part, but had their stories told second-hand to investigators by the six staffers who did speak, a Senate source with knowledge of the report told The Canadian Press Wednesday.

Foreign missions asked to delay refugees last year as money was running dry OTTAWA — The federal government sought to delay the arrival of refugees last year because it was running out of money. A memo was sent to Canadian foreign missions last November asking them to find cases they could delay until 2015 because the budget for refugee resettlement was running dry.

But according to documents obtained under the Access to Information Act, Syrian refugees were exempted from that plan. The request to missions was made as the government was coming under fire for its seemingly slow response to the Syrian refugee crisis. At that point, only a few hundred of the promised 1,300 refugees that the government had committed to resettle by the end of 2014 had actually arrived in Canada. The immigration department could not provide statistics on how many people were made to wait but confirmed none were among those granted refuge in Canada as a result of the Syrian crisis.

FRIDAY, JULY 17, 2015

4 marines killed by gunman CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A gunman unleashed a barrage of fire at a recruiting centre and another U.S. military site a few miles apart in Chattanooga on Thursday, killing at least four Marines, officials said. The attacker was also killed.

Federal authorities said they were investigating the possibility it was an act of terrorism, and the FBI took charge of the case.

Authorities identified the gunman as Kuwaiti-born Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, 24, of Hixson, Tennessee, though the spelling of his first name was in dispute, with federal officials and records giving at least four variations.

A U.S. official said there was no indication Abdulazeez was on the radar of federal law enforcement before the shootings. The official was not authorized to discuss the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The shootings took place minutes apart, with the gunman stopping his car and spraying dozens of bullets first at a recruiting centre for all branches of the military, then apparently driving to a Navy-Marine training centre 7 miles away, authorities and witnesses said. The attacks were over within a half-hour.

In addition to the Marines killed, three people were reported wounded, including a sailor who was said to have been seriously hurt.

“Lives have been lost from some faithful people who have been serving our country, and I think I join all Tennesseans in being both sickened and saddened by this,” Gov. Bill Haslam said.

Authorities would not say how the gunman died. FBI agent Ed Reinhold said Abdulazeez had “numerous weapons” but would not give details.

“We are looking at every possible avenue, whether it was terrorism, whether it’s domestic, international, or whether it was a simple criminal act,” Reinhold said.

Within hours of the bloodshed, law officers with guns drawn swarmed what was believed to be Abdulazeez’s house, and two females were led away in handcuffs.

A dozen law enforcement vehicles, including a bomb-squad truck and an open-sided Army green truck carrying armed men, rolled into the Colonial Shores neighbourhood of Hixson, and police closed off streets and turned away people trying to reach their homes.

Abdulazeez graduated from the University of Chattanooga in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, school spokesman Mike Andrews said. He was a student intern a few years ago at the Tennessee Valley Authority, the federally owned utility that operates power plants and dams across the South.

The U.S. National Counterterrorism Center said it has seen nothing so far to connect Abdulazeez any terrorist organization. But it noted that the Islamic State group has been encouraging extremists to carry out attacks in the U.S., and several such homegrown acts or plots have unfolded in recent months.

The names of the dead were not immediately released. In addition to the wounded sailor, a Marine was hit in the leg but not seriously hurt, and a police officer was shot in the ankle, authorities said.

In Washington, President Barack Obama pledged a prompt and thorough investigation and said the White House had been in touch with the Pentagon to make sure military installations are being vigilant.

“It is a heartbreaking circumstance for these individuals who served our country with great valour to be killed in this fashion,” he said.

Vice-President Joe Biden likewise said: “Their families have already given a lot to the country, and now this.”

The shootings began at the recruiting centre on Old Lee Highway, where a shot rang out around 10:30 or 10:45 a.m., followed a few seconds later by more fire, said Sgt. 1st Class Robert Dodge, leader of Army recruiting at the centre.

He and his comrades dropped to the ground and

barricaded themselves in a safe place.

Dodge estimated there were 30 to 50 shots fired. Doors and glass were damaged at the neighbouring Air Force, Navy and Marine offices, he said.

Law enforcement officials told recruiters that the gunman stopped his car in front of the recruiting station, shot at the building and drove off, said Brian Lepley, a spokesman with the U.S. Army Recruiting Command in Fort Knox, Kentucky.

The recruiting centre sits in a short strip mall, between a cellphone business and an Italian restaurant, with no apparent special security.

The gunman opened fire next at the Navy Operational Support Center and Marine Corps Reserve Center Chattanooga. All the dead were killed there.

The Navy-Marine centre is in an industrial area that includes a Coca-Cola bottling plant. The two entrances to the fenced facility have unmanned gates and concrete barriers that require approaching cars to slow down to drive around them.

Marilyn Hutcheson, who works at Binswanger Glass across the street, said she heard a barrage of gunfire around 11 a.m.

“I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many,” she said. “It was rapidfire, like pow-pow-pow-pow-pow, so quickly. The next thing I knew, there were police cars coming from every direction.”

She ran inside, and she and other employees and a customer waited it out with the doors locked.

The gunfire continued with occasional bursts for what she estimated

Bomb squads, SWAT teams and other local, state and federal authorities

rushed to the scene.

Cato comes up big for Als LEADS MONTREAL TO WIN OVER HAMILTON IN A DEFENSIVE BATTLE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Alouettes 17 Tiger-Cats 13 MONTREAL — It took a spectacular touchdown catch by S.J. Green and five turnovers for the Montreal Alouettes to get some payback on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Green’s third-quarter reception and big games from the defence and kick coverage teams lifted the Alouettes to a 17-13 victory over the Tiger-Cats in a defensive CFL struggle Thursday night at Percival Molson Stadium.

“We knew coming into the game it would be a tough matchup,” said Montreal’s rookie quarterback Rakeem Cato, now 2-1 as a starter. “Play physical and keep grinding.”

Boris Bede had three field goals and a single for Montreal (2-2), which avenged a loss to the Ticats in the East Division final in November.

The Alouettes have not lost at home to Hamilton in 18 games since Oct. 20, 2002.

Ray Holley scored his first career touchdown and Jason Medlock had a pair of field goals for Hamilton (1-2).

It was hardly the most entertaining game for the crowd of 20,773, with both defences playing tight and neither team able to move the ball consistently.

Hamilton quarterback Zach Collaros had a slight edge, completing 27 of 42 passes for 296 yards to Cato’s 23 tosses for 264, but the Alouettes rookie did not throw a pick while Collaros was intercepted three times.

The Ticats also fumbled the ball away once and gave it away on downs.

“Way too many penalties,” said Hamilton coach Kent Austin. “We didn’t play well offensively.

“I think we played well enough defensively to win the game, but we had our opportunities and didn’t take advantage of them. And you can’t turn the ball over against a good team like that.”

Another key was stopping Brandon Banks, the dynamic kick returner who had scored off punts in each of the Ticats first two games. He also returned two for TDs in Hamilton’s playoff win over Montreal.

Banks was held to 33 yards on five punt returns. He returned the opening kickoff of the second half 110 yards for a TD, but it was called back for an illegal block. Mostly, Bede tried to keep it away from him.

The Tiger-Cats stuffed Montreal’s running game, holding CFL rushing leader Tyrell Sutton to two yards on six carries, but Cato responded through the air, including seven passes to veteran Fred Stamps for 119 yards.

The Alouettes got a punt single 1:56 in and added Bede’s 21-yard field goal at 10:45 after Chip Cox picked off a Collaros pass. The Tiger-Cats answered that with a 12-play 75-yard drive capped by Holley’s three-yard TD reception 3:47 into the second quarter.

A Jonathan Hefney interception gave Montreal a glittering chance, but the Hamilton defence stopped them on three plays from the one for a turnover on downs.

The Ticats couldn’t switch the momentum and Montreal marched back for a 42-yard Bede boot, but Medlock topped that with a 53-yard field goal with eight seconds left in the half.

Major players make major charge at British Open

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Jordan Spieth played like he had a Grand Slam to win. Dustin Johnson played like he had a score to settle.

The two main characters from Chambers Bay brought their games across eight time zones and an ocean Thursday and set the tone at St. Andrews for what could be another riveting battle at the British Open.

Spieth quickly seized on his opportunity for a third straight major with six birdies in his first 11 holes, fought through a chilly wind on the inward nine and closed with a birdie for a 5-under 67 that put him two shots out of the lead.

Johnson, whose three-putt from 12 feet on the final hole cost him a shot at the U.S. Open, looked as daunting as ever. He simply overpowered the Old Course with such force that he hit wedge into 10 of the par 4s and had an eagle putt on another. With a pair of big par saves on the tough closing holes, he played bogey-free for a 65 and for at least a day made good on a warning he made earlier in the week.

Asked about Spieth’s chances to sweep the four majors, Johnson said, “Well, I’m playing the next two so we’ll have to see.”

This was hardly a two-man show.

The six players who were one shot behind at 66 included former British Open champion Paul Lawrie and twotime U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen. Jason Day, coming off his scary bout with vertigo symptoms at the U.S. Open, was back on his feet and back in the hunt. Most impressive from that group were Zach Johnson and Danny Willett, who posted their scores as the temperature dropped and wind stiff-

United States’ Dustin Johnson drives a ball from the 13th tee during the first round of the British Open Golf Championship at the Old Course, St. Andrews, Scotland, Thursday. ened late in the afternoon.

Spieth was joined at 67 by Louis Oosthuizen, the last Open champion at St. Andrews.

“If D.J. keeps driving it the way he is, then I’m going to have to play my best golf to have a chance,” Spieth said.

The real test might come from the weather.

Spieth and Johnson got a break by playing in the morning when St. Andrews was ripe for scoring — 10 of the top 12 scores came from that side of the draw. That didn’t help Tiger Woods,

who hit into the Swilcan Burn on the opening hole, made only one birdie and shot 76.

“Guys have been shooting good numbers,” said Woods, a two-time Open champion at St. Andrews. “Unfortunately I did not do that.” Instead, he was headed for a missed cut for the third time in his last four majors.

The afternoon wave suffered in chill and wind so strong that Phil Mickelson hit driver and 3-wood and didn’t reach the 465-yard 13th hole. He said he had to hit 5-iron for his third shot on the par-5 14th. Johnson was pin-high with

a 3-wood in the morning. Mickelson made only one bogey on the back nine and shot 70. He called the conditions “fun,” though his smile might not last if the morning group doesn’t face the same conditions.

“We were at a significant disadvantage today,” Mickelson said. “And hopefully, if we’re able to play an entire day tomorrow, it will even itself out.”

The first 26 groups had an average score of 71.46. The last 26 groups averaged 72.62.

Rickie Fowler, coming off a victory in the Scottish Open, said the final seven holes was “hanging on for dear life.” He made two bogeys, one eagle and 15 pars for a 72.

The forecast was for rain early Friday and wind calming as it clears, followed by stronger gusts in the afternoon. Saturday could have gusts approaching 40 mph.

Any duel between Spieth and Johnson is void of animosity. They played in the same group, and during one long wait on the 17th tee, they laughed and chatted as if this were an opening round at a regular PGA Tour event.

“No chat about the U.S. Open at all, as I wouldn’t imagine there would be, other than talking about the differences in the course,” Spieth said. “But I enjoy playing with Dustin. I’ve played a lot of golf with him.”

And he knows what to expect from golf’s most athletic figure. Johnson hit driver on all but three holes, leaving him wedges into the par 4s (except for three longer holes into a hurting wind on the back nine) and a 7-iron that Johnson stuck to 10 feet for eagle on the par-5 fifth hole.

Michelle Li defends badminton title, adds to Canada’s medal count PAN AM GAMES

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canada’s Michelle Li is now a two-time Pan Am Games badminton champion.

She thrilled her hometown crowd at the Atos Markham Pan Am/Parapan Am Centre with a 2-0 victory over fellow Canadian Rachel Honderich in today’s women’s badminton final.

“It is tough to have to beat a friend,” Li said. “To see her lose, it’s not something I want. But I guess we’re both mature enough to know that when we’re on court, it’s for yourself.”

Li, who won gold four years ago at the 2011 Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, defeated Honderich 21-15, 21-9.

Li and Honderich teamed up together to win doubles bronze earlier in the week.

“It’s tough because we both know each other’s games so well,” Honderich said.

Canada’s Toby Ng and Alex Bruce settled for silver in the mixed doubles final. They dropped a 21-9, 21-23, 21-12 decision to Americans Phillip Chew

and Jamie Subandhi.

Canadian Andrew d’Souza took silver in the men’s singles final after losing to Guatemala’s Kevin Cordon 21-13, 21-14.

“He didn’t let me really play at the net when I wanted to,” d’Souza said.

“He didn’t let me take the attack. He’s very good at keeping his attack and I just had a lot of trouble getting out of it when I played him.”

Canada’s medal count rose to 97 with Thursday’s results. The Canadians lead the medal haul at the Games once again after falling behind the United States.

Canada has earned 38 gold, 36 silver and 23 bronze thus far.

The U.S. had 96 total medals as of Thursdat night, including 34 gold.

The Canadians men’s and women’s team sprint teams took double gold at the first day of track cycling at the Cisco Milton Pan Am/Parapan Am Velodrome.

Hugo Barrette of Cap-aux-Meules, Que., Victoria’s Evan Carey and Joseph Veloce of St. Catharines. Ont., edged Venezuela in 44.241 seconds in the men’s race while Kate O’Brien and Monique Sullivan topped Cuba in 33.959 seconds in the women’s team sprint.

“I couldn’t believe the support on

every home backstretch you went on,” O’Brien said. “You just heard masses of screaming and so to have family and friends and Canadians in general out and being able to support us at home was special.”

Gaby Dabrowski and Carol Zhao added another gold medal to Canada’s tally, taking first place in women’s doubles tennis. They beat Mexico’s Victoria Rodriguez and Marcela Zacarias in three sets.

In women’s wrestling, Genevieve Morrison won gold in the freestyle 48 kilogram division, beating Peru’s Thalia Mallqui.

Canada’s streak of gold medals in the Pan American Games pool halted Thursday with a disqualification.

Emily Overholt of West Vancouver, B.C., out-touched Caitlin Leverenz of the U.S. to finish first in the women’s 400-metre individual medley, but the youngest member of the Canadian swim team was disqualified for a “nonsimultaneous” wall touch during the breaststroke leg of the race.

Swimming Canada appealed the disqualification, but it was upheld by officials.

Leverenz took gold in in 4:35.46, Canadian Sydney Pickrem was second in 4:38.03

Canada’s women’s basketball team roared to a 101-38 rout of Venezuela in its opening match of the Pan American Games.

Seven Canadians scored in double figures, with Lizanne Murphy leading the way with 15 points. Shona Thorburn had 14, Kim Gaucher and Kia Nurse added 12 each, Nayo RaincockEkwune had 11, and Tamara Tatham and Katherine Plouffe chipped in with 10 apiece.

In men’s baseball, London, Ont., native Brock Kjeldgaard drove in four runs as Canada secured the tournament’s top seed with an 11-4 win over Puerto Rico.

Chris Leroux of Mississauga, Ont., pitched six innings, allowing one earned run on three hits while striking out seven and walking two as Canada remained undefeated through five preliminary games. The Canadians close out round-robin action with a game against the U.S. on Friday. Semifinals begin Saturday with the gold- and bronze-medal games scheduled for Sunday.

In men’s golf, Canadian Austin Connelly was tied for fourth after shooting a 2-under 70 in the first round.

Weather holds off chuckwagons

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR The 2015 North American Pony Chuckwagon Championship is in a holding pattern.

Thursday’s races at the Westerner track were cancelled due to poor conditions created by rain 24 hours earlier, and with more moisture expected today’s scheduled 6:30 p.m. performance could be in jeopardy.

“This was a decision between the Westerner board and the drivers,” Tracey Stott, secretary of the Canadian Chuckwagon and Chariot Association, said Thursday. “If it’s unsafe for the horses to run then we don’t run.”

Stott said there was no way the track could be groomed to the point that the races could go ahead

Thursday.

“The base on the track is like clay, and so as soon as it rains it’s just like walking on ice,” she said. “After that rain hit yesterday and we tried to walk down the track . . . the ambulance was getting stuck on the track.

“We don’t want to chance it. Our horses are our babies.”

The decision to cut the meet short was also based on the weather forecast, said Stott.

“I think it was more that they were looking ahead at the weather,” she stated. “If it was looking like it was going to be even a little chance of showers today, then probably we would have been OK, but we’re supposed to be getting 40 to 50 millimetres (of rain) tonight and tomorrow. We can’t help the rain. If it’s raining we’re hooped.”

Stott is hopeful that the North American Pony

Chuckwagon Championship can resume by Saturday, at the latest, reducing the 2015 event from a scheduled five performances to two.

“If it quits (raining) by tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow evening and has all day Saturday to dry, there would be a pretty good possibility we’d be able to go Saturday and Sunday,” she said. “That’s what we’re hoping for. We’re crossing our fingers.

“We don’t want to just sit there because it’s costing us a lot of money and it’s not good for the sponsors, either.”

Saturday’s races, if they go ahead, will start at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday’s final performance will start at 2:30 p.m.

Westerner Park released a press release Thursday stating that the wagons would be back on the track tonight, weather permitting. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Redblacks look to even score against Eskimos

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks would love nothing more than a little retribution.

After suffering an embarrassing 46-17 loss to Edmonton last week the Redblacks couldn’t be happier to be host the Eskimos on Friday night at TD Place.

There were few positives taken from the lopsided loss, but after a week of solid practice the Redblacks (2-1) say they’re ready for the rematch. Ottawa will need to be better in nearly every area as bad decisions, missed opportunities and penalties were the theme of last week’s loss.

“We’ve been watching film and it’s really been pissing a lot of us off,” said QB Henry Burris. “They made us look bad last week. We want to make sure we come out and play the type of game we know we can play and we didn’t do that last week.”

Despite winning the first two games of the season many wondered if Ottawa could be taken seriously as a contender. The Redblacks say in no way should last week’s performance dictate who they are as a team and while they don’t want to put too much emphasis on one game they know Friday’s performance will have a significant impact.

“What it comes down to is how we react to difficulty and how we overcome it, is what this game is going to be about,” said defensive lineman Keith Shologan.

“It’s kind of going to define who we are right now as a team. The season’s a long season, 18 games, and you don’t know a team until week nine so we’re still building and it’s still a process, but this is going to be a big challenge for us just because of what happened last week.”

Ottawa Redblacks’ Abdul Kanneh and Edmonton Eskimos quarterback James Franklin scramble for the ball during action in Edmonton on July 9, 2015. The Eskimos won thier home game and with a trip to Ottawa this week, the Redblacks are looking to even the score.

With a number of young players on its roster the Redblacks know youth and inexperience will play a factor in games, but Burris says last week’s loss will be worth it if it helps create this team’s identity and he’s excited to see how they respond.

“We felt last week’s game was an anomaly to what we truly are,” said Burris. “We know we can bounce back from it. This team is unfazed.”

The Redblacks give Edmonton (1-1) full credit for the win, but at the same time plan on making things a lot more

difficult for the Eskimos.

“We know we’re going to have a better effort this week to beat them,” said Ottawa head coach Rick Campbell. “If our guys play the way they typically play it should be a good, close game (Friday) night.”

Zack Evans, who scored the lone Redblacks touchdown last week, says the team is angry with themselves for failing to put forth a better performance.

“It wasn’t anything they did, it was what we did,” said Evans.

“We always focus internally. I never blame the other team, I always blame us. That’s what you have to do in football. That just wasn’t us last week and we know that and we’ll come up firing.”

Notes: DL Moton Hopkins will replace DL Jonathan Williams, while Justin Cappiciotti will be back in the lineup after missing last week’s game.

Justin Cudworth will make his CFL regular season debut as he steps in for LB David Hinds and Pat Lavoie will be a game time decision.

Doughty and Riders aiming for first win of season when they host Lions

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — Aerospace design and biotechnical development were just two of the career fields awaiting Jake Doughty upon his graduation from Utah State University.

A six-figure salary at one of the world’s top businesses and a whole lot of job security could have been his thanks to his mechanical engineering degree.

Instead, Doughty chose football.

Three games into his professional career, the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ rookie middle linebacker has been sifting through all sorts of negative comments on social media and talk of his head coach deserving to get fired thanks to the team’s winless start to the 2015 CFL season.

Not exactly his dream job. Or is it?

“This has been a dream of mine, a goal of mine ever since I was a kid,” said Doughty, whose Riders (0-3) will host the B.C. Lions (1-1) Friday at Mosaic Stadium.

“I’m trying to make the most of this opportunity. Living my life to the full-

CFL: Fumbled Cato mounted a nine-play 87-yard drive leading to a TD throw on the run 20 yards to Green, who stretched out to snare the pass at the sidelines, to put Montreal in the lead 14-10. Bede added a 27-yard boot 9:48 into the fourth quarter.

Defensive lineman Alan-Michael Cash intercepted with 1:47 left to play and on Hamilton’s final drive, Terrence Toliver fumbled and Gabriel Knapton recovered.

The Alouettes wore their grey, feather-themed alternate jerseys before a crowd of 20,772. They are 22-9 all-time in “third” jerseys, including 9-0 against Hamilton.

The Alouettes have a bye next week, while the Ticats have a 10-day break before their next game July 26 at Saskatchewan.

est right now.”

Doughty was thrust into the starting lineup when veteran Shea Emry suffered a neck injury in Week 1 of the regular season. Emry, a two-time Grey Cup champ and former CFL all-star, is one of 11 Riders on the six-game injured list.

In Week 2, his first professional start, the six-foot, 230-pound Doughty led the Riders with seven tackles and one interception in a home-field loss to the Toronto Argonauts. Doughty’s second start came in Week 3 and saw him register seven tackles in a loss to the Lions in Vancouver.

“I think I have been alright,” he said of his performances. “Every week you have something to improve on. If you’re ever satisfied completely then you should just stop playing. I know I need to keep improving so I can do more to help this team and get this team winning.”

Doughty’s 148 tackles in his senior season at Utah State ranked him second in the nation in the Football Bowl Subdivision and fourth all-time in the Mountain West Conference. Undoubtedly, he has a nose for the football and

the instincts to succeed at the position.

The fact that he’s among the intellectually elite doesn’t hurt him, either, when it comes to the game.

“He’s everything you want in a middle linebacker,” said linebackers coach Tyrone Pettaway.

“You have to be smart to play this position. You have to study the game and be a student. It’s one thing to have a whole bunch of athletic ability and use your speed and athleticism to get out of trouble. But he’s very adept to know what’s going on, so he doesn’t find himself in too many bad spots.”

The Riders’ defensive unit has surrendered fourth-quarter leads in consecutive weeks, with each resulting in an overtime loss.

The defence, and head coach Corey Chamblin’s decision making has been the subject of much criticism because of it. In a place like Regina, Doughty said it’s hard to get away from the negative talk.

“You try to tune out the critics,” he said.

“But it’s a realistic worry and we just have to step up to this challenge and say enough is enough. It’s time to

turn this around and do a better job.”

It’s not likely Doughty will experience a rough patch when his football career comes to a close. He plans to pursue his master’s degree in business upon retirement.

“With those two degrees, I should be able to find something enjoyable to do,” he said. “Academics were a big part of life. The unfortunate part of this business is that it doesn’t last forever. There’s a very small window of where you can be a professional athlete.

“Growing up, I always knew there was going to be life after football and you have to be prepared for when that time comes. I was fortunate enough to be pretty decent at math, so I pursued my degree and worked hard to get it.”

Notes — The Riders announced on Wednesday that defensive back Weldon Brown suffered a torn pectoral muscle in the team’s loss to the Lions in Week 3 and will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Brown, along with Emry, cornerback Marshay Green, quarterback Darian Durant and slotback Ryan Smith are five key starters missing from the Riders’ lineup.

eth can score.

He birdied four of the first six holes with putts inside 12 feet and took a share of the lead with a 10-foot putt on the par-3 11th. His lone mistake came in bunkers — a pot bunker in the 13th fairway he had to play out sideways, and the Road Hole bunker on the 17th.

He blasted out to 6 feet and missed.

“I’ve played enough golf with him to where I believe in my skill set, that I can still trump that crazy ability that he has,” Spieth said.

“I expect when he stands on the tee it’s going to up there miles and down the fairway. I also expect that I can birdie each hole when I stand on the tee — it just happens to be a different route.”

Not many can appreciate the route Spieth is taking. Only five other players since 1934 have won the first two majors of the year. Only Ben Hogan has won the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open in the same year. No one has won all four.

The key for Spieth in the first round was to stay close, and that’s what he did — not in driving distance, but by score, which ultimately is all that matters.

Canada’s men’s field hockey team is 2-0 after a 1-0 victory over Chile.

Low loonie costing Canadian teams

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Professional sports teams in Canada are facing the prospect of being priced out of the competition as the Canadian dollar flirts with values not seen in more than half a decade.

Canada’s NHL, NBA and Major League Baseball franchises pay their players in American dollars but collect most of their revenue in Canadian currency, so the loonie’s drop on Thursday to 77.10 cents U.S. puts a strain on their bottom line.

Economist Glen Hodgson wrote a book on the business of professional sports, and he says the exchange rate is one of the biggest concerns for professional sports teams in Canada.

“It’s going to cost them more and more,” he said.

In the mid-1990s, when the Canadian dollar was worth less than 75 cents U.S., the country lost multiple franchises as the Quebec Nordiques, Montreal Expos and Winnipeg Jets all moved south.

The reasons behind each move varied, Hodgson said, but the exchange rate was a factor and expedited each franchise’s exit.

“Even if the Nordiques were selling out, they had to make $1.40 for every U.S. dollar of salary,” he said. “That added a huge cost burden to those franchises to the point where it just wasn’t sustainable.”

Although the relationship between payroll and performance isn’t perfect, Hodgson said, teams have to pay their best players and attract high-value free agents if they want to remain competitive and retain the interest of fans.

Professional teams in big cities with broad support such as the Toronto

Raptors or the Montreal Canadiens will be able to weather the storm, Hodgson said, but those in smaller markets such as the Ottawa Senators or the resurrected Winnipeg Jets could have a harder time.

“The danger is if you don’t draw, you can’t pay, you can’t attract the good players,” he said.

“It can become a negative feedback loop.”

Richard Peddie, the former president of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, said the gap in exchange rates can add up to millions in losses for a team. Coaches and general managers are often paid in U.S. dollars too, he added.

Still, Peddie said the poor exchange rate for the Canadian dollar won’t prevent teams from pursuing players or coaches if they really feel the additions are necessary.

“The owners are not going to like

what it does to the bottom line, but they want to win,” he said.

Winnipeg Jets spokesman Scott Brown says that while the dollar’s slide hurts the team’s business, it’s not as important as it’s made out to be.

“While it’s not great on the overall business as you could imagine, it’s not as bad as people might think,” he said.

The team hedges itself against the risk from falling exchange rates, Brown said, although he did not elaborate. He said such measures are routine.

“It’s something that we’ve done in the past and we’ve done this time,” he said. “It’s protected us in this situation.”

Hodgson said while the exchange rate may be of greater concern to teams now than it was two years ago, they can survive.

“Most franchises can find a way through this,” he said. “They just have to be clever.”

Saunders snags early lead at Barbasol

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OPELIKA, Ala. — Sam Saunders, Arnold Palmer’s grandson, shot a 7-under 64 in warm conditions Thursday to take the first-round lead in the inaugural Barbasol Championship.

“It’s hot. When it’s hot like this, you’ve got to conserve energy,” Saunders said. “So, getting excited about a birdie or getting mad about a bogey just burns energy that you need to try to hit good shots. I try to walk like I’m in a daze out there all day and just stay very level.”

Saunders saved par with a 15-foot putt on the par-3 eighth hole and closed with a birdie on the par-4 ninth to cap his bogey-free round on Grand National’s Lake Course.

“I just putted a lot better,” Saunders said. “I’ve been playing really well lately, been hitting the ball as well as I’ve ever hit it in my career in the past few weeks, really last month. I just had been putting terribly. I finally just had a few putts go in today and that always turns over into a little bit of confidence and it was really just that.”

The 27-year-old former Clemson player is winless in 45 career starts on the PGA Tour, with a career best tie for second this year in the Puerto Rico Open.

“It is just the first round, yes, but it’s always nice to get off to a good start,” Saunders said. “You have to hit the ball well here and I did that today.

I drove it well and I hit a lot of good iron shots. You don’t have to putt great here, I think, to shoot a good, solid score, but to shoot 7 under, I had a lot of putts go in for me today, which is

nice. I haven’t seen that happen in a long time, so it was great.”

Jason Gore was a stroke back at 65.

He birdied four of his last five holes.

“The golf course is just there for the taking,” Gore said. “It’s a great golf course. If these are the scoring conditions, not a breath of wind, greens were holding, you just kind of had to go out and take advantage of it.”

Stanford junior Maverick McNealy, the Jack Nicklaus Award winner as the Division I player of the year, was tied for third at 66 along with Martin Flores, Will Wilcox, Carlos Ortiz and Carlos Sainz Jr. McNealy, playing alongside Saunders, had an eagle, five birdies and two bogeys.

“I love to play and I love to compete,” McNealy said. “To compete against the best in the world and on a golf course like this that’s in perfect condition and do all that, that’s what every kid dreams of, playing on the PGA Tour. So, I’ve just had a blast. It’s all fun for me.”

Two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton topped the group at 67.

Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo, the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 98, opened with a 68.

Web.com Tour money leader Patton Kizzire had a 71. He’s from Montgomery and played at nearby Auburn.

“I hit the ball really well,” Kizzire said.

“My putting was pretty suspect. That was about as bad as I’ve putted in a long time. Feel like I turned a 64 or 67 to 71, which is not a whole lot of fun.

But I’m encouraged by the way I’m hitting the ball and just looking forward to tomorrow.”

Stars complete checklist for one of NHL’s best off-seasons

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The Stanley Cup isn’t won in the off-season. If it was, start engraving the trophy for the Dallas Stars.

With the signing of defenceman Johnny Oduya on Wednesday, the Stars put the finishing touches on an off-season that didn’t transform the roster but filled the kind of holes that should put them back in the playoff picture.

“We’re in the beginning of, I think, where we should be starting to make the jump,” general manager Jim Nill said.

Dallas acquired and signed Antti Niemi to a deal that strengthens its goaltending, even if it’s at a hefty price of US$4.5 million over three years. The Stars then traded defenceman Trevor Daley and bottom-six forward Ryan Garbutt to the Chicago Blackhawks for scoring winger Patrick Sharp and defensive prospect Stephen Johns.

Signing Oduya, who won the Cup with the Blackhawks last month, to a $7.5-million, two-year deal was “the last piece of the puzzle,” according to Nill. What it did was effectively replace Daley and make the Sharp trade look even sharper.

Oduya is 34 now, perhaps a step slower than he was as a teenager when Nill scouted him. But he’s an immediate upgrade on the Dallas blue line.

“Once we knew we were going to

The Chicago Blackhawks are sent Patrick Sharp and defensive prospect Stephen Jones to the Dallas Stars for Daley and forward Ryan Garbutt as part of an off-season where the Stars have filled holes through trades and free agent signings. make that trade, losing Trevor Daley, I knew (adding a defenceman) was something we wanted to look at,” Nill said on a conference call Wednesday. “Any time you can add a player of Johnny’s stature, somebody that’s has won, a guy that does everything right, you can’t go

wrong with it.”

In Niemi, Sharp and Oduya, the Stars added three players with Blackhawks Cup rings. That pedigree was something Nill considers important, but he made each move for a different reason.

Sending a seventh-round pick to the San Jose Sharks for Niemi’s rights and signing him took care of what Nill called his biggest need. He cited the Stars’ brutal travel schedule — which according to On the Forecheck includes the third-most kilometres in the NHL and 12 back-to-backs — for wanting Niemi and fellow Finnish veteran Kari Lehtonen to split the goaltending work.

“I really think it’s becoming a twogoalie league now,” Nill said at the draft in Sunrise, Fla. In the absence of an elite goaltender, it’s a sound strategy in the Western Conference, which featured five playoff teams that had two goalies each start 30-plus games. Lehtonen started 65 in what Nill called a “tough year.”

Sharp gives the Stars another topsix forward to complement Art Ross Trophy-winning captain Jamie Benn, centres Tyler Seguin and Jason Spezza and young winger Valeri Nichushkin.

Nill said the 33-year-old Sharp brings good veteran leadership to a young team.

In that trade, Dallas also got Johns, who at 23 provides even more depth on the blue line. After signing Oduya, the Stars have a defence corps of Alex Goligoski, all-rookie John Klingberg, Oduya, Jason Demers, Jyrki Jokipakka, Jordie Benn, Patrik Nemeth and Jamie Oleksiak with Johns and Julius Honka and others knocking on the door.

Almost everybody has a chance IN YEAR OF PARITY, NEARLY EVERY MLB TEAM HAS A SHOT TO REACH PLAYOFFS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Clayton Kershaw looks around the major leagues and sees opponents convinced they can reach the playoffs.

“It’s just a matter of everybody beating up on everybody,” the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher said. “We want everybody to feel like they’re in it.”

It’s the year of parity in the major leagues, when almost no one has managed to break away from the pack or fall way behind. Kershaw, a three-time Cy Young Award winner and the reigning NL MVP, has a won-lost record reflecting the parity — he’s 6-6.

Every team in the American League reached the All-Star break with a .450 winning percentage or higher. It’s the first time an entire league did that since 1944, according to STATS, and many rosters that season were depleted of stars because of World War II. “It’s fantastic to see,” Pittsburgh pitcher Gerrit Cole said.

“All the teams at .500 all think they’re going to finish over .500, and all the teams that are over .500, and even

us, we’re always fretting, looking behind our back.”

Boston headed to the All-Star break in last place yet just 6 ½ games from first — only the second time since division play began in 1969 the AL East spread was that close. The first-to-last gap has been that narrow in any division just nine times overall in the expansion era, STATS said.

“We’re at the bottom of the barrel right now, but we’re not that far out,” Red Sox All-Star Brock Holt said. “It’s just about going out and taking care of our business, and the standings will kind of take care of themselves towards the end of the year.

Oakland has the worst record in the AL but at 41-50 is just 8 ½ games behind the West-leading Los Angeles Angels. While last in the AL Central, the Chicago White Sox are 41-45 and only 5 ½ games out for the AL’s second wild card.

“We have an unbelievable level of competitive balance,” new baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said.

“When I look at the standings, I think we’re in for one heck of a ride in the second half of the season.”

There is a little more spread in the

NL, where the St. Louis Cardinals have the major leagues’ best record at 56-33 and Philadelphia owns the worst at 29-62. Other than the Phillies, Miami and Milwaukee, every team is within single-digit games back of a playoff berth.

“It just shows that there’s not really that a monopoly of a franchise right now,” Baltimore closer Zach Britton said.

Kansas City was 48-46 at the All-Star break last year, 6 ½ games behind AL Central-leading Detroit and 2 ½ back of Seattle for the league’s second wild card. By October, the Royals were one win shy of their first World Series title since 1985.

Royals manager Ned Yost said the bunching gave his AL players extra incentive in the All-Star Game.

“Everybody in that locker room is going to have a chance to continue to move forward and be playoff bound,” he said before the AL’s 6-3 victory.

Toronto, Seattle and the Marlins are the only teams that have not made the playoffs since 2005. Increased revenue sharing, the luxury tax on payrolls and restraints on amateur signing bonuses have helped more teams become com-

petitive.

While the Dodgers opened the season with a payroll of nearly $273 million for their 40-man roster, according to Major League Baseball’s calculations, there was a huge dropoff after that to the Yankees at $220 million and Boston at $187 million. Six teams were at $140 million to $175 million, seven at $120 million to $125 million, and six more above $100 million.

“A lot of teams that are expected to win are learning that the revenues that they are making ... they’re actually going to have to spend some of those revenues to create the gap and not stay where they’re at, because teams are getting close to them,” agent Scott Boras said.

All that crowding in the standings has its impact on talks as general managers approach July 31, the last day to deal players without passing them through waivers first.

“It makes the trade deadline a lot harder, obviously,” Kershaw said. “Not as many teams think they’re out of it. It makes it tougher to get pieces, which means you’ve got to build your team earlier in the off-season, in my opinion.”

Despite woes, Dodgers open 2nd half with big lead in West

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers begin the second half with a 4 ½-game lead over San Francisco in the NL West, having managed to remain in first since the end of May despite a rotation hit by injuries and an inconsistent offence.

They’ve used 12 starting pitchers after losing two-fifths of their rotation for the season, the bullpen has been rocked by injury, and yet they own their largest lead at the break since 2009.

It helps that much of the National League has been playing .500 ball so far.

“I want to stay where we’re at,” manager Don Mattingly said. “If that’s what it takes to win a division, then hopefully we do that. How you get in (the playoffs) has zero to do with it.”

The Dodgers open a 10-game trip against NL East opponents starting Friday at Washington where the firstplace Nationals have won nine of their last 11. Mike Bolsinger (4-3, 3.08 ERA) will start the opener for the Dodgers instead of previously announced Clayton Kershaw.

Kershaw (6-6, 2.85 ERA), who took the loss in the All-Star Game on Tuesday, will start Saturday.

The trip takes the Dodgers to thirdplace Atlanta for three games before playing four games in New York against the second-place Mets.

The Giants have a more favourable schedule coming out of the break.

They travel to third-place Arizona and fourth-place San Diego before returning home to host Oakland, last in the AL West, and Milwaukee, last in the NL Central.

The Dodgers and Giants are tied for the most shutouts in the majors with 13.

“This is when baseball gets really fun the rest of the way,” backup catcher A.J. Ellis said.

Zack Greinke (3-2, 1.39) has over-

shadowed Kershaw with a scoreless innings streak of 35 2/3 while positioning him for a Cy Young Award bid. Brett Anderson has stepped up as the third starter to salvage a rotation weakened by season-ending surgeries to HyunJin Ryu and Brandon McCarthy.

“You got to replace and that’s where you have trouble,” Mattingly said.

“It has a trickle-down effect on your club.”

Especially the backend of the rotation, which has struggled on the inexperienced arms of Bolsinger and Carlos Frias, leaving the team in need of reinforcements at the July trade deadline.

Kershaw’s .500 record didn’t impress his peers or fans enough to vote him into the All-Star Game, with the left-hander getting there as a replacement in his fifth straight appearance.

“It has been frustrating at times this year,” he said. “People have high expectations for me, and that’s good. I expect a lot out of myself, which helps me. I wasn’t very good for a while there.”

Closer Kenley Jansen has come back strong after missing six weeks because of foot surgery, but five other relievers spent time on the disabled list.

Even when their pitching has been good, the Dodgers have struggled to score runs.

Yasiel Puig’s numbers highlight the inconsistency. The 24-year-old right fielder is batting .261 with four home runs and 14 RBI after dealing with a hamstring issue and a callus on his left hand.

“He just needs to continue to work and be consistent with his work,” Mattingly said. “You get out what you put in. Sometimes it’s more trouble for guys like Yasiel who things come easily to. If you do that work, your talent is going to shine.”

Rookie Joc Pederson had 20 home runs in the first half, and he finished second in the Home Run Derby. But the 23-year-old centre fielder tailed off before the break, hitting .145 with 21

“It’s a matter of him staying steady,” Mattingly said. “His demeanour has been good, which tells me a lot.”

Catcher Yasmani Grandal has settled in since coming from San Diego in the Matt Kemp trade, earning his first All-Star bid while hitting .282 with 14 homers and 36 RBI. Adrian Gonzalez was 1 for 11 in the

last three games before the break, but he’s been the team’s most productive hitter with a .283 average, 18 homers and 55 RBI. The Dodgers expect some additions in the second half. Left fielder Carl Crawford is close to returning from rehabbing an oblique strain. Cuban infielder Hector Olivera, who signed a $62.5 million deal in May, will join the team when his hamstring allows.

South Korea’s Ha Na Jang birdies final hole for 1-shot lead in Marathon Classic LPGA

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SYLVANIA, Ohio — South Korea’s Ha Na Jang birdied the par-5 18th for a 5-under 66 and a one-stroke lead Thursday after the first round of the LPGA Tour’s Marathon Classic.

She chipped to 6 feet to set up the final birdie after hitting a 3-wood approach to the front edge.

“Just really good shot,” Jang said about the chip with a 52-degree wedge.

“I feel happy today because in the morning ... I was very tired in my bed, so no practice today. I don’t think

about the score, so really good play today.”

Winless in 23 career tour events, Jang birdied four of the first five holes on the back nine at Highland Meadows, dropped a stroke on the par-4 15th and rallied with the closing birdie.

“I like the course,” Jang said. “Very narrow fairways and small greens.

Very close to Korean golf course, so I think it’s very easy for my feel. ... Really good golf course.”

She took a simple approach on the course softened by a rainy month.

“Just always thinking about fairway and greens,” Jang said. “Very easy thinking.”

Sarah Kemp, Nannette Hill, WeiLing Hsu and Lee-Anne Pace were tied for second.

Kemp bogeyed her final hole, the par-4 ninth. The Australian has missed the cuts in seven of the 12 tournaments this season.

“My caddie and I were actually talking before I teed off that I had not had a 4 or 5 under in a while,” Kemp said.

“That was the plan today, so it was nice to pull it off. It’s confidence. I’ve had an inconsistent year, some good and some bad. Hopefully, for the rest of the three days I can keep it up.”

Kemp’s approach on No. 9 landed in the rough to the left of the green. She hit to the fringe, but came back with a chip that hit the flagstick and she was able to make her putt for bogey.

“It was a funny lie,” Kemp said. “I had a bad lie for the first chip, where I shouldn’t have been in the first place.”

Hill had three straight birdies on Nos. 6-8 to reach 4 under and parred the final 10 holes.

“I feel really good,” Hill said. “All season I feel like I’ve been very consistent and building off good stuff. So, came to this course on Sunday and felt like it fit my eye really well.”

Top-ranked Inbee Park, a three-time winner this season, birdied her final hole for a 70.

“I hit a lot of greens, but not really close,” Park said. “Irons just weren’t as pure as I thought it would be. Missed couple putts here and there. Only two birdies and one bogey. Not a bad start.”

Defending champion Lydia Ko, ranked No. 2 in the world, opened with a 71.

Froome leaves Pyrenees with lead HIS LAST MAJOR OBSTACLE AT TOUR DE FRANCE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PLATEAU DE BEILLE, France — One mountain range completed, one more to go.

Only the Alps loom as the last major obstacle between Chris Froome and a second Tour de France victory in Paris.

His rivals tried and failed to make the British rider and his super-strong Sky team wilt on the toughest — and last — day of climbing in the Pyrenees on Thursday, on Stage 12 won

by Joaquim Rodriguez of Spain, who gritted his teeth in driving rain on the final climb for his second stage win.

With those mountains that straddle France and Spain behind them, the opportunities for podium contenders to eat into Froome’s comfortable race lead are starting to run out. That might make them only more dangerous. They could take bigger risks, like speeding hell for leather on downhill roads, in hopes that Froome might crash, or gang up on him, as they sought to on Thursday’s steep final ascent.

“There are only a certain amount of opportunities before we get to Paris,” Froome said. “We’ve just got to expect everything to be thrown at us.”

But to get to the 2013 champion, Froome’s rivals must first get past his teammates. And that is a problem.

The big budget of his Sky team has bought the best help money can buy, riders so strong they could lead other teams if they weren’t working for Froome.

They ride hard at the front, controlling the race. They allow only those riders with no hope of victory in Paris — like Rodriguez — to escape up the road, because they’re chasing stage victories and other rewards, while Sky fixates on the big prize: Keeping

Rodriguez was part of a group of 22 riders — none of them podium contenders — that broke away shortly after the start in Lannemezan, a Pyrenees town of 6,500 inhabitants, whose signature dishes include black Bigorre pork and an almond cake named after bandits.

The 195-kilometre (121-mile) trek to the Plateau de Beille, which draws cross-country skiers when it snows, took the Tour up four increasingly high ascents, 53 kilometres (33 miles) in total.

Rodriguez made his move halfway up the final 16-kilometre (10-mile) uphill grind, wheeling around world champion Michal Kwiatkowski in a switchback, and riding alone to the finish. He celebrated by waving a pointed finger like John Travolta dancing in “Saturday Night Fever,” and thrust both arms in the air. The leader of the Katusha team also won a shorter uphill finish on Stage 3.

Rodriguez started the day 19th overall, trailing Froome by more than 20 minutes. His winning ride moved him up to 15th but, at 13:45 off the lead, he’s still not a podium threat.

The handful of riders who are, Froome and his team watch like hawks.

Alberto Contador, Nairo Quintana and Vincenzo Nibali, his biggest rivals before Froome crushed them on the first day in the Pyrenees, tried testing him on the final ascent, taking turns with bursts of acceleration. But Richie Porte and Geraint Thomas, Froome’s guardians when the roads veer sharply uphill, and the race leader himself reeled in the challenges.

Thomas is riding so impressively that a podium double might even be possible for Sky in Paris. Thomas is fifth overall, less than a minute behind Crescenzi and Nic Dowd.

Shore got a two-year, $1.2 million deal after making his NHL debut last season. He appeared in 34 games for the Kings, making his NHL debut.

Shore scored seven points and won a team-best 53.8 per cent of his faceoffs for the Kings before winning the Calder Cup with the AHL’s Manchester Monarchs.

Weal, Crescenzi, Dowd and LoVerde also played extensively for the Kings’ championship-winning AHL affiliate. Weal was the Calder Cup playoffs MVP. LoVerde got a two-year contract worth $1.15 million, while the other three signed one-year deals.

Britain’s Chris Froome, wearing the overall leader’s yellow jersey, is followed

by Tejay van Garderen of the U.S., far left, as they speed downhill during the twelfth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 195 kilometers with start in Lannemezan and finish in Plateau de Beille, France, Thursday.

Quintana in third, and just over a minute behind Tejay van Garderen, the American leader of the BMC team who is proving resilient in second place.

But Froome remains in a class of his own. He bared his teeth on the last climb, with a turn of speed that shook off all but Quintana before the Colombian and other rivals caught him again.

“I was just testing the legs,” Froome said.

His lead of 2:52 over Van Garderen and 3:09 over Quintana could comfortably carry him to victory in Paris if his rivals can’t find ways to claw back time on the four Alpine stages, the last two particularly daunting.

Quintana vowed to try.

“He’s human like the others,” the Movistar team leader said.

Skeptics aren’t so sure. Froome’s

dominance is raising eyebrows and questions in a sport where trust remains in short supply, after Lance Armstrong’s era of systematic doping.

Like an unwanted ghost, the American who was stripped of his seven Tour victories returned on Thursday to the fringes of the race, on a money-raising ride. He and Geoff Thomas, a former footballer raising funds to fight blood cancer, are riding two stages of the Tour route together, one day ahead of the race.

Tour racers were largely indifferent, and Armstrong’s presence wasn’t felt at the race itself.

Podium contenders should be able to take something of a breather before the Alps. The next four stages take the Tour on a west-to-east swing. They are hilly but not hugely mountainous.

Oilers sign Tyler Pitlick to one-year contract EDMONTON — Forward Tyler Pitlick and the Edmonton Oilers agreed to terms on a one-year contract on Thursday.

Pitlick, 23, split the 2014-15 season with the Oilers and the American Hockey League’s Oklahoma City Barons. He appeared in 17 games with Edmonton, scoring twice. Pitlick also had nine points, including three goals, in 14 games with Oklahoma City.

Pitlick has three goals in 27 career National Hockey League games. He scored his first NHL goal on Oct. 26th,

Ducks bring back former defenceman Shane O’Brien ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Anaheim Ducks have re-signed centres Chris Wagner and Michael Sgarbossa to oneyear contracts.

The Ducks on Thursday also signed free-agent defenceman Shane O’Brien and second-round draft pick Julius Nattinen. O’Brien will turn 32 next month. He broke into the NHL with Anaheim in 2006. He has suited up for seven teams in his career, scoring 92 points in 537 games.

Dominating like Iron Mike RONDA ROUSEY TAKING OVER UFC WITH TYSON’S FLAIR, SAYS THE EX-HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GLENDALE, Calif. — Moments after Mike Tyson stepped into the Glendale Fighting Club, Ronda Rousey grabbed her judo coach and abruptly flung him onto the canvas with an enormous bang.

This training violence unsettled Iron Mike, whose eyes widened in awe while Rousey repeatedly hip-tossed Justin Flores with the same brute skill.

The former heavyweight champion finally spoke up.

“It just doesn’t look fun no more,” Tyson said with a smile.

“It’s fun for me,” Rousey replied from the cage. “I don’t know about him.”

Tyson once dominated boxing in much the same way Rousey dominates mixed martial arts, overwhelming every opponent in their paths with a mixture of pre-fight intimidation, hardearned skill and unstoppable force.

Dana White realizes the comparison is inexact, but the UFC president believes no other athletes in the socalled combat sports have separated themselves from their competition more than Tyson and Rousey over the past 30 years.

“These are two of the greatest to ever walk the planet in their sports,” White said. “Not many people in the world can relate to that.”

Although the 49-year-old Tyson is years removed from any interest in competition, he saw shades of himself in the UFC’s most authoritative champion when he dropped in to meet the appreciative Rousey this week. Tyson has watched Rousey’s fights cageside for years, but hadn’t seen her training work up close.

“Ronda, she’s a lady. Polite, kind,

Mixed martial arts fighter Ronda Rousey, left, and former boxer Mike Tyson share a light moment after her workout at Glendale Fighting Club, Wednesday, in Glendale, Calif. Rousey, the UFC bantamweight champion, is scheduled to face Brazil’s unbeaten Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 1. sweet and adorable,” Tyson said. “But her whole barometer is, she’s a killer.

She has that killer aura, meaning anything is capable of happening. Whoa!

That’s exciting before the fight even starts. I think of myself when I watch her.”

Rousey (11-0) is the only women’s bantamweight champion in the UFC’s history, and the two-time U.S. Olympic judoka has dominated her new sport.

She is heavily favoured to win her next bout against Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 1, but that

hasn’t stopped it from becoming one of the most attractive pay-per-view fights of the year, according to White.

Rousey, who has stopped 10 of her 11 opponents in the first round, has been a big fan of Tyson for years. After the fighters chatted for several minutes, she even left her training session wearing an Iron Mike T-shirt.

“Tyson is like the God of War,” White said. “When people see him at their fights, they freak out. They love fighting in front of him.”

After they bumped fists, Rousey

gave tips to Tyson on Armenian food, and Tyson expressed his admiration for Rousey’s training focus in front of spectators. When Tyson mentioned that his favourite moments were his post-fight return to his hotel room with “the belt and the cash,” Rousey immediately agreed.

“You look in the mirror, and you’re like, ’What happened today?”’ she said.

“It’s very humbling, and I was just honoured that he would go through the trouble or go out of his way to watch me train,” Rousey added. “I’m really glad he was able to come, but it won’t be until after I beat Bethe and go home and go back to the hotel and look at myself in the mirror for the first time, like he was saying, that’s the moment it all hits you. He knows better than anyone what that moment is like.”

Rousey has promised to make her next fight painful for Correia, the trash-talking Brazilian who has mentioned Rousey’s late father in her prefight taunts. Rousey, whose previous three fights lasted a total of 96 seconds, said she wants Correia to lose “in the most devastatingly embarrassing way possible.”

Tyson won the heavyweight title in 1986 by knocking out six of seven opponents within the first two rounds, and he remembers that feeling of seeming invincibility. He knows it’s an intoxicating position and is glad Rousey has been able to handle it.

“Listen, if you want to become anything close to being a god, the first thing you’ve got to know how to do is know how to decimate,” Tyson said. “If you’re a god, you have to know how to decimate, and that’s what she does. It would be very easy for her to have a big head, (to say), ’I can beat anybody in this world.’ I don’t know. Maybe she’s a likeness of a god.”

Canada names PNC team as they prep for World Cup

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Fresh from winning gold at the Pan American Games, rugby sevens captain John Moonlight is switching his attention to the 15-man game as Canada competes at the Pacific Nations Cup. Moonlight is joined on the 31-man Canadian roster by Pan Am sevens teammates Nathan Hirayama, Phil Mack, Harry Jones and Conor Trainor.

Canada, ranked 17th in the world, opens play at the six-team tournament Saturday against No. 13 Japan in San Jose before facing No. 12 Tonga on July 24 in Burnaby, B.C., and No. 9 Samoa on July 29 in Toronto.

The competition wraps Aug. 3 with playoff matches in Burnaby, B.C. “It’s a really good competition with four really good games,” said Canadian coach Kieran Crowley, who will announce his 31-man World Cup squad after the tournament.

Crowley is giving Moonlight, Jones and Trainor the first game off but Mack and Hirayama, as scrum and fly half, will be on the bench in San Jose Tyler Ardron will captain the Pacific Nations Cup team which includes veterans Hubert Buydens, Aaron Carpenter, Jeff Hassler, Ciaran Hearn, Phil Mackenzie, James Pritchard and DTH van der Merwe.

But other key players are returning from injury and Crowley will have to wait on the status of Jamie Cudmore (head), Jebb Sinclair (knee), Taylor Paris (groin), Nanyak Dala (arm) and Jason Marshall (knee).

Tom Dolezel broke his arm in the recent Canadian camp and fellow prop Jake Ilnicki is currently

playing in Australia.

Crowley says Cudmore, the leader in the Canadian pack who plays in France, is keen to play at the World Cup. The Pacific Nations Cup roster features a famous Canadian rugby name in back-rower Thyssen de Goede.

His father Hans de Goede, a player of considerable renown, captained Canada at the 1987 World Cup while his stepmother Steph White was Canada’s first-ever women’s captain.

“It’s an opportunity for him over the next four weeks to put pressure on a couple of guys that aren’t in this group at the moment,” said Crowley.

English-based flanker Richard Thorpe adds experience in the back row, The Canadians will play the 16thranked U.S. in Ottawa on Aug. 22 and the Glasgow Warriors in Halifax on

MIKE RIBEIRO Predators centre Mike Ribeiro and his wife have settled a lawsuit in which their nanny accused the player of sexual assault.

An arbitrator met July 6 settling the lawsuit.

His report was entered Wednesday in the Eastern District of the U.S. District Court in Texas.

The settlement followed Ribeiro signing a two-year, $7 million contract on the opening day of NHL free agency on July 1 after he ranked second on the team with 62 points in 82 games.

Predators general manager David Poile said earlier this month Ribeiro told team officials a lawsuit could be filed before Nashville signed him to a one-year contract last summer.

Ribeiro was a free agent after playing for the Arizona Coyotes.

“It’s a great year, the World Cup year, from a coaching perspective,” said Crowley.

Canada opens its World Cup campaign on Sept. 19 against No. 3 Ireland before taking on No. 15 Italy, No. 7 France and No. 18 Romania.

The Pacific Nations Cup will offer a World Cup Group B preview with the U.S. meeting Samoa on July 18 and Japan taking on the Americans on July 24.

Youth pleads guilty to firearm, drug offences

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A Red Deer youth pleaded guilty to a litany of charges including two firearms offences relating to a sawed-off shotgun police recovered near a crashed and abandoned vehicle west of Sylvan Lake.

The 17-year-old, who can’t be identified because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act, pleaded guilty to seven charges laid after the April 23 incident.

He and Dixon Ross Bergseth, 37, of Red Deer were apprehended by Sylvan Lake RCMP after the officers found an abandoned vehicle near Hwy 11 and Range Road 20.

Represented by Mollie McVey, the 17-year-old pleaded guilty to being a passenger in a stolen vehicle, possession of a stolen ATV, possession of stolen property, possession of a weapon without a licence, possession of a prohibited weapon, possession of meth, possession of drugs and breaching probation by being in possession of drugs.

The truck was reported stolen out of Leduc.

An hour before the crash, it failed to stop for an sheriff and was clocked at speeds of more than 150 km/h.

The ATV was reported stolen from a residence in Eckville and was later abandoned on a rural property near Half Moon Bay. Three people from the other vehicle involved suffered minor injuries in the crash.

Bergseth is scheduled for a preliminary inquiry on charges of flight from police, dangerous driving, failing to remain at the scene of a collision with bodily harm, possession of stolen property over $5,000, three counts of possession of stolen property, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of a prohibited firearm and unlawful possession of a prohibited weapon contrary to a court order. The inquiry is scheduled for Aug. 21 in Red Deer provincial court. Inquiries are held to test the strength of the Crown’s case to determine if it will proceed to trial.

Sentencing for the youth was adjourned to a later date. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Comedy company raising money for new home

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A cool, intimate environment designed for laughs may soon be taking up space in Railyards.

Against The Wall Theatre Company is raising money for a new home dedicated to improv and sketch comedy.

The group that brings Bull Skit Comedy to Scott Block Theatre wants to raise $50,000 to bring its new space at 4940 54th Ave. up to code.

Last week, it launched an IndieGoGo campaign to raise the funds. To date, it has raised $6,410 with 23 days left on the campaign.

Jenna Goldade, Bull Skit Comedy artistic director, said they are optimistic that the timing will be right for the new venue despite a slow economy.

“That $50,000 is just to get us in there,” she said.

“Bull Skit is doing a ton of the work ourselves in terms of updating the space to help save costs.”

The company is also seeking sponsorship opportunities for the new venue.

Goldade said there is a clear audience in Central Alberta for sketch comedy.

Bull Skit has added shows nearly every week during

its season.

“I think we can totally sustain it and people are ready for it,” she said.

The goal is to have the money in place so the company can move into the space for Aug. 15 and open potentially for Sketch Festival in September.

But Goldade said the first show will more realistically be in October.

The money will be used to purchase a sound and lighting system, bar, table and chairs, a HVAC system and for washroom renovations. The 3,300-square-foot venue will feature a bar area for people to hang out before and after the shows.

The theatre features cabaret style seating to hold about 90 people.

“Any seat you get will be a good seat,” she said.

“Any seat you get you will really feel like a part of the show. It will allow people to connect with the comedy we’re doing and the types of shows we are doing.”

Bull Skit Comedy has been delivering laughs in Red Deer for eight years.

Lawyer wants more details before start of woman’s trial A Red Deer woman has pleaded not guilty to charges from a 2005 murder, but her lawyer demanded further disclosure.

Tyson Dahlem, counsel for the woman, appeared exasperated in Red Deer youth court on Thursday with a matter that has dragged on for nearly a decade.

His client, who was a teen at the time of the alleged offence and can’t be identified because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act, is charged with accessory to murder and attempted accessory to an offence.

Grant Shoemaker, 21, was killed in his home on June 8, 2005.

Paul Lionel White of Blackfalds pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2012 and was sentenced to 18 years in jail.

Dahlem said he has been trying to get disclosure from the Crown but has been denied. He sought a disclosure hearing to gain materials on the elements of the Shoemaker murder investigation that touch on her client.

Crown prosecutor Carolyn Ayre disagreed with Dahlem’s assessment of the situation and Judge Gordon Deck ended further discussion, which he said should be saved for a disclosure hearing.

Ayre was ready to set a trial date, saying the Crown’s case would take about two days. Dahlem was not ready, saying he didn’t know how long his case would be as he has not been provided with the disclosure he requested.

Deck adjourned the charges to Aug. 20 in Red Deer youth court for a disclosure hearing. The judge presiding over the hearing will also become the trial judge.

White was convicted of second-degree murder in 2008 but the conviction was overturned by the Alberta Court of Appeal. The second trial ended in a mistrial. White pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2012 before the start of the third trial.

Rate cut may not affect individuals much

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BANK OF CANADA

OTTAWA — The move by the Bank of Canada to cut its key interest rate will help consumers out a little, but experts say with rates already near record lows, it won’t mean much for individual borrowers.

Canada’s big banks trimmed their prime rates by 0.15 percentage points to 2.7 per cent in the wake of the central bank’s move Wednesday to cut its overnight rate target by a quarter percentage point.

Sherry Cooper, chief economist at Dominion Lending Centres, questioned the effectiveness of the rate cut to boost the economy with the big banks only passing on a portion of the reduction by the Bank of Canada.

“At the margin, this might boost housing and consumer credit a bit, but these are not the sectors most in need of stimulus,” Cooper said.

Moves in the prime rate directly affect the amount charged on loans such as variable rate mortgages and floating rate lines of credit.

It’s the second time the central bank cut its key rate this year. When it chopped the rate in January by a quarter point, the big banks also passed on a cut of 0.15 of a percentage point to their customers then, too.

Some have raised concerns that lower interest rates will add fuel to the already hot housing markets in Vancouver and Toronto.

However, mortgage broker Frank Napolitano noted that the change in the prime rate doesn’t mean people will now be able to obtain larger mortgages because the rates used to qualify a borrower haven’t changed.

He estimated that for a $300,000 mortgage, the 15-basis-point cut could save a borrower a total of a little over $2,000 over five years.

“From a consumer point, it is better than nothing,” Napolitano said, noting that those with lines of

credit tied to the prime rate will also save money.

Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz said Wednesday the interest rates charged borrowers are affected by more than just the overnight rate target.

“All we’re trying to do is have an influence on it,” he said.

Cooper said the spread between the Bank of Canada’s overnight rate target and the bank prime rate will eventually shrink, but probably not until interest rates are much higher than where they are today.

She said low interest rates have helped squeeze the big banks in recent years and they didn’t pass on the full rate cut to help protect their profit margins.

“The banks themselves have come under enormous regulatory pressure to increase their capital which makes their businesses far less profitable,” Cooper said.

“They will always in my view want to maximize the gap between what they can charge on loans and what they have to pay for money on the overnight market.”

Rona buying 20 stores in Quebec, Ontario, eliminating franchise structure RENO COMPANY WANTS TO COMPETE WITH U.S. RIVALS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Home renovation company Rona hopes to compete more effectively with large U.S. rivals by eliminating its franchise structure through the purchase of 20 stores that date to its entry into big-box retailing two decades ago.

The Quebec-based company said Thursday it is acquiring 18 franchise stores in Quebec and two in the Ottawa area for an estimated $225 million.

They include 17 big-box stores and three smaller outlets, making all 79 of Rona’s big-box stores wholly owned by the company.

Overall, the company (TSX:RON) will have 233 corporate and 275 affiliate stores in Canada operating under various banners.

“The competition we’re facing in big-box retailing is all corporate, so it gives us agility to be more reactive to promotions, to be more proactive in terms of development across (Quebec) and it’s more efficient overall in the company,” Luc Rodier, executive vicepresident retail, said in an interview.

Rona has been streamlining its operations for three years in an effort to cut costs and restore profits amid a tough retail environment.

Rodier said the change to a structure used by its rivals doesn’t set Rona up for an eventual sale.

BRIEF Nexen pipeline spills 31,000 barrels of emulsion near Fort McMurray CALGARY — A pipeline at Nexen’s Long Lake oilsands project in northeastern Alberta has failed, spilling an estimated five million litres of bitumen, produced water and sand.

The company, which was taken over by China’s CNOOC Ltd. in 2013, said the affected area is about 16,000 square metres, mostly along the pipeline’s route.

AER spokesman Peter Murchland said it’s too soon to say what might have caused the leak, which has been contained.

“They’ve effectively stopped the source of the release, so that’s good news,” he said.

Nexen said the spill was discovered Wednesday afternoon.

months ago about a purchase. Rona’s has bought five other franchise locations since 2005.

The deal is expected to close in September, subject to a business review at each store.

In total, the Rona franchise stores have 2,600 employees and generate more than $500 million in annual sales.

Rodier said the deal won’t affect employees and will go largely unnoticed by customers.

“For local communities there’s very little change apart from the ownership. Local management stays, the staff stays, the service stays the same, the assortment will be Rona assortment.”

Although the price of the acquisition wasn’t disclosed, analyst Irene Nattel of RBC Capital Markets estimates Rona is paying about $225 million and will generate around $20 million in additional pre-tax operating earnings in 2016 and 2017. Accordingly she raised her target price to $18 from $17 per share.

While the transaction will simplify its business model, she said it does little to change overall task facing the company.

“With a challenging outlook for the Canadian housing market and modest consumer spending growth, we believe it will be difficult for Rona to generate meaningful sustainable top line growth after the current period of easy comparables,” she wrote in a report. public or wildlife.

The regulator is requiring Nexen to implement a wildlife protection plan in the area.

The emulsion has not flowed into a body of water, but it did spill into muskeg.

Officials with the regulator are on site to assess the situation, start investigating and ensure Nexen meets safety and environmental requirements during cleanup.

Long lake, about 35 kilometres southeast of Fort McMurray, uses steam to heat up the oilsands bitumen deep underground, enabling it to flow to the surface.

CALGARY — From drought to grasshoppers, it’s been a tough year for Alberta farmers, with some counties declaring states of agricultural disaster.

“We are just incredibly dry, dryer than we have been in approximately 50 years,” said Garett Broadbent, Leduc County’s director of agricultural services.

The county has called a special meeting for July 21 to declare a state of agricultural disaster. Two other counties — Parkland and Mackenzie — have already done so, and several others are considering following suit.

“From pretty much seeding, we haven’t had any significant rainfall,” said Broadbent. “Our municipality wants to bring awareness to this at the provincial and federal levels.”

Large swaths of Alberta have experienced low rainfall since April, with many areas receiving well under 40 per cent of normal precipitation.

“Our annual crops, cereals, oil seeds, are really starting to suffer,” said Broadbent. “Our pasture, hay lands are really, really suffering.”

The dry conditions have also allowed pests like grasshoppers to flourish, with parts of Leduc county plagued by the insects.

“In areas where the grasshoppers did hit, whatever was standing was hit really hard,” said Broadbent.

Of all the crops, hay and pasture land have suffered most, with an average of 55 per cent of crops rated as poor across Alberta. The figure rises as high as 81 per cent in the northwest.

That’s where Mackenzie County sits, and it was the first county to declare a state of agricultural disaster in late June.

County reeve Bill Neufeld said officials made the declaration in an attempt to get help for cattle farmers who rely on those crops to feed their herds.

He wants government action on possible feed subsidies because feed costs keep climbing, or tax deferrals for ranchers when they sell their cattle so they can rebuild herds later.

“You can get pasture insurance . . . but that doesn’t help anything if you’re going to decimate your cattle herds because of the drought, if farmers have to sell off their cattle.”

And even for grain farmers, insurance doesn’t go very far.

“Insurance will probably cover the input costs, but that still doesn’t make any payments on the equipment and if anybody has land owing,” said Neufeld.

There could be some relief in the days to come for parts of the province, with 40 to 60 millimetres of rain forecast in the hardest-hit areas.

“Rain is coming to some of the driest portions of the Prairies so it’s much welcome news,” said Bill McMurtry, a meteorologist at Environment Canada.

Since the rain is forecast to fall over a few days, it will have a better chance of soaking into the ground, with more expected later next week, McMurtry said.

“This will help, but we’re still going to be a ways off normal yet.” as a KPMG senior auditor.

Bombardier has been replacing many of its top executives since Alain Bellemare became CEO in February after a long career at United Technologies, including as president of Pratt & Whitney Canada.

Canadian auto parts giant Magna to buy Germany’s Getrag Group for $1.9 million AURORA, Ont. — Auto parts maker Magna International Inc. will pay about US$1.93 million (1.76 billion euros) to buy the Getrag Group, a German supplier of automotive transmissions for car manufacturers such as Ford, BMW, Daimler and others.

The Ontario-based company said Thursday that Getrag is a leader in high-growth segments of the transmission industry and has significant jointventure relationships with Ford, as well as with two Chinese auto makers.

Getrag has about 13,500 employees and operations in nine countries in Europe, Asia and North America.

Magna says it expects the deal to close near the end of 2015, subject to necessary approvals.

At mid-afternoon, the S&P/ TSX composite index was up 57.75 points at 14,720.03 despite falling energy and mining issues.

On the commodity markets, the August gold contract was off $3.10 at US$1,144.30 an ounce, while August crude fell 22 cents to US$51.90 a barrel and August natural gas gave back six cents to US$2.85 a thousand cubic feet.

Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar was down 0.17 of a U.S. cent at 77.23 cents, after having slumped 1.09 cents Wednesday in the wake of the decision by the Bank of Canada’s to cut its policy rate 25 basis points to 0.5 per cent.

In New York, markets were also higher after earnings beats by several major companies, including Intel, Netflix and eBay, all Nasdaq-traded issues. That helped the tech-heavy index soar 51.09 points to 5,150.03, not far off its record close of 5,160.09 on June 23.

The Dow Jones industrial average was 41.91 points higher at 18,092.08, while the S&P 500 gained 13.31 points to 2,120.71 as traders turned to traditional guide posts such as earnings and economic news with the apparent resolution of the Greek debt crisis that has roiled markets for weeks.

In Europe, indexes were also higher as officials agreed to start discussions on a new bailout package for Athens after the Greek parliament passed strict austerity measures that had been demanded by the country’s creditors.

Closer to home, Canada’s big five banks responded to Wednesday’s policy rate cut by the Bank of Canada by cutting their prime rates by 0.15 of a percentage point to 2.7 per cent.

Moves in the prime rate directly affect the amount charged on loans such as variable rate mortgages and floating rate lines of credit.

In the U.S., the Labor Department reported the number of applications for weekly unemployment aid fell 15,000 to 281,000 last week.

The four-week average was up slightly at 282,500, but below 300,000, a historically low level that points to a solid job market.

On the negative side, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s factory index fell to 5.7 in July from 15.2 the previous month, although any reading above zero indicates that manufacturing is expanding.

U.S. manufacturers have been hurt by a strong dollar and the negative effect of cheaper capital spending in the oilpatch, plus the setback imposed by severe winter weather.

No reason for panic, yet DESPITE PROBLEMS IN CHINA, GREECE WORLD ECONOMY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Chinese stock market is experiencing a terrifying freefall, and Greece is teetering on the brink of financial collapse.

But the top central bankers in the United States and Europe see no reason for panic.

European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi told reporters Thursday that the European economy is showing modest signs of improvement.

And in congressional testimony this week, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said that the U.S. economy has proven resilient so far in the face tumultuous world events. The Fed, she said, is still likely to raise short-term interest rates later this year.

“Prospects are favourable for further improvement in the U.S. labour market and the economy more broadly,” Yellen told the Senate Banking Committee Thursday.

“Low oil prices and ongoing employment gains should continue to bolster consumer spending, financial conditions generally remain supportive of growth and the highly accommodative monetary policies abroad should work to strengthen global growth.”

Around the world, though, events have been unsettling. After peaking June 12, Chinese stocks have plunged around 30 per cent, raising more doubts about China’s decelerating economy.

And Greece is locked in contentious negotiations with its creditors that have put its future in the eurozone in jeopardy.

Yellen said this week that the Fed might reconsider a 2015 rate hike if the tumult in China or Greece threatened to spread.

But for now, the Fed is on track this year to raise the short-term rate it controls from near zero, where it’s been since December 2008.

In a report Thursday, chief economist Nariman Behravesh and senior research director Sara Johnson of IHS predicted that “the recent political turmoil in Europe and financial convulsions in China will not do serious damage to global growth—unless they get a lot worse.”

They see the world economy growing 2.6 per cent this year and 3.3 per cent in 2016.

The American economy has been improving since getting off to a terrible start this year.

EBay and PayPal outline growth plans as they ready for split

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE — When eBay and PayPal split up on Friday, they’ll face different challenges than they did as a combined company.

E-commerce company eBay first said in September 2014 it would split off its payments unit PayPal, in order to focus the two companies on growing profits individually. Investors, including activist Carl Icahn, had lobbied for the movie.

Though the split happens Friday, PayPal starts trading on the Nasdaq under the “PYPL” ticker on Monday, while San Jose, California-based eBay will keep trading under the “EBAY” symbol.

As separate units, eBay faces stiff competition from Amazon and other online retailers that have gained market share from traditional brick-andmortar stores. It also has to contend with the lingering effects from a cybersecurity breach and changes in Google’s search algorithms that led to fewer eBay results popping up in Google searches.

On the other hand, online payment system PayPal, which had long been eBay’s fastest-growing segment, will have to compete with mobile wallets like Apple and Android Pay and online payment offerings from Chinese ecommerce retailer Alibaba and other retailers.

In a call after the two units posted quarterly profit that topped Wall Street’s expectations, PayPal President Dan Schulman and eBay President Devin Wenig each outlined their plans for the two units following the split: EBAY EBay, which has been streamlining its business by selling some units, now is focusing on reinvigorating its marketplace business, which includes the e-commerce arm of eBay. It stumbled last year when it had to deal with a change in Google’s algorithms that made eBay products come up in search results less often.

On Thursday, Wenig said the company now is asking sellers to include more detailed product identifiers on

When eBay and PayPal split up on Friday, they’ll face different challenges than they did as a combined company. their product listings, which seems to be helping search results.

Wenig said the company is also focusing on gaining traffic through social media. It was an early adapter of shoppable ads on Facebook and Pinterest and has increased efforts on Tumblr Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter’s Periscope to drive traffic and user growth.

“While still small relative to our more established channels, traffic from social channels is growing over 100 per cent year-on-year in the U.S.,” Wenig said.

Wenig also reiterated eBay’s plan to focus on small- and medium-size merchants that make of 70 per cent of the global retail market.

“Our absolute priority is to improve our competitiveness and drive more stable profitable growth over the longterm,” Wenig said.

PAYPAL PayPal’s goal going forward is to get

more merchants to accept its payments in stores. It also wants PayPal users to pay with the service two or three times a week rather than the current average of two or three times a month.

Meanwhile, Schulman, who will be CEO of PayPal after the split, would like PayPal users who typically use the payment system once or twice a month, to use it two or three times a week, like millennials use its Venmo app. The Venmo app is linked to a bank account or card and lets users pay friends with a text-like note.

Schulman said the company is making some progress. The Subway app powered by PayPal-owned Paydient is the No. 2 food and beverage app in the iOS app store and can be used in 30,000 stores. And Burger King is letting users pay with PayPal in 5,000 stores.

PayPal also plans to grow internationally via its acquisition of Xoom which lets users send money from the U.S. abroad.

‘THE RECENT POLITICAL TURMOIL IN EUROPE AND FINANCIAL CONVULSIONS IN CHINA WILL DO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO GLOBAL GROWTH — UNLESS THEY GET A LOT WORSE.’ — NARIMAN BEHRAVESH AND SARA JOHNSON IHS

of 0.2 per cent from January through April — a dip blamed largely on bad winter weather and other temporary factors — the U.S. economy is picking up momentum. It is expected to register a modest 2 per cent to 2.5 per cent growth for the year.

In the labour market, employers have added more than 2.9 million jobs the past year. Unemployment tumbled last month to a seven-year low 5.3 per cent.

Still, some are cautious about the U.S. economic outlook.

International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde has urged the Fed to delay a rate increase until 2016, arguing that the risk that a premature hike will damage growth outweighs the risk that a tardy hike will unleash inflation or swell a dangerous bubble in the price of stocks, real estate and other assets.

Yellen herself remains worried that American wage growth is subpar.

Europe continues an agonizing economic recovery.

The collective economy of the 19 countries that use the euro currency grew modestly from January through March.

Prices across the eurozone rose in June for the third straight month, easing fears that the region was at risk of sinking into a destructive deflationary spiral.

Draghi took part of the credit, noting that the ECB’s 60 billion euros in monthly bond purchases have supported eurozone growth. Draghi repeated his pledge to do everything within his power to prevent fallout from the Greek crisis from damaging the broader European economy.

And he did his part for Greece, too: The ECB on Thursday agreed to increase financial support for Greece’s banks, which have been closed since June 29 and were in danger of collapsing entirely.

BRIEFS

$4M settlement in XL Foods lawsuit CALGARY — A deal has been worked out in a class-action lawsuit filed over an E. coli outbreak and the largest meat recall in Canadian history.

The lawsuit is against XL Foods Inc., which operated a meat-packing plant in southern Alberta during a tainted beef recall in 2012.

“We’ve reached an agreement on the class action subject to court approval,” Calgary lawyer Clint Docken, who is representing a handful of clients, said Thursday.

Compensation has been set at $4 million, said Docken, and a hearing is to be held this fall to formally approve the deal. XL Foods recalled more than 1.8 million kilograms of beef in Canada and the United States in 2012.

The plant in Brooks, Alta., was sold to JBS Canada in 2013.

In October 2012, Brian Nilsson, one of the chief executives of XL Foods, apologized to people who became ill and was quoted in the media as saying that the company took full responsibility. Payments could range from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars, he said.

Sleep Country Canada back on the TSX, but IPO price of $17 per share draws yawn TORONTO — Sleep Country Canada returned to the public markets Thursday after seven years in private hands, but its IPO price of $17 a share drew something of a yawn from investors.

The country’s largest mattress retailer, which trades under the stock symbol (TSX:ZZZ), closed down 85 cents at $16.15, or five per cent below the target price.

Volume was just over five million shares, making it the third most active issue on the TSX. For its IPO, Sleep Country Canada Holdings Inc. issued 17.65 million shares to underwriters at $17 per share for total gross proceeds of slightly more than $300 million.

Swyler pens an enchanting story The Book of Speculation

By Erika Swyler St. Martin’s Press Simon Watson is a librarian in Napawest whose father left him the family home on the banks of the beach called the Sound.

The only problem is that the old house is falling apart due to storms and years of neglect.

Despite suggestions from KIRSTEN his neighbours Frank and LOWE daughter Alice, Simon cannot bring himself to sell the house and the land — it holds too many childhood memories.

It was Sound Lake where his mother, Paulina, taught him and his little sister, Enola, to swim and how to properly hold their breath under water (Paulina could go under for 11 minutes and Simon nine).

Like her mother, Paulina was a circus/carnival performer, fortune-teller and ‘mermaid’ who lived her life under the water holding her breath.

But one day when they were still children, Paulina drowned herself in the Sound, leaving Simon to care for his sister while their father, Daniel, worked as a machinist.

Now both parents are deceased and Enola has not been home in six years.

A book is delivered to Simon from a M. Church-

BOOKS

warry in Iowa, a bookseller specializing in used and antiquarian books. It is one of the oldest books Simon has ever laid eyes on, and the reason he was sent it was because his grandmothers name — Verona Bonn — is in it.

Thus unfolds the beginning of a memoir, set in 1780, about Peabody’s Portable Magic and Miracles and the unique apprentice to fortune-teller Madam Ryzhkova, named Amos.

Amos has the unexplainable gift to make himself vanish whenever he so chooses.

The more Simon reads into this book, he further finds out that the fate of Peabody’s Portable Magic and Miracles is put in danger when Amos brings in a girl he found in the woods, Evangeline. She has a shady past but soon becomes the circus’s mermaid because of her connection to water and being able to hold her breath.

Madam Ryzhkova immediately dislikes Evangeline. She believes that keeping this girl in the circus company will on bring heartbreak because she is a soul seeker who will “drown” whoever she can.

When Mr. Peabody refuses to send Evangeline away, Madam Ryzhkova packs up and leaves.

Then, Evangeline and Amos have a baby daughter together and so begins the couple’s path to destruction.

So how exactly does this book with these people from the past connect to Simon and his sister? Is it possible that their family is cursed? Will Simon be able to save Enola before July 24 — the date that all mermaid drownings happened?

BOOK REVIEW

Author Jeff Lindsay says goodbye to Dexter, serial killer with a code

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — Spoiler alert: Book Dexter does not become a lumberjack.

The eighth and final novel in the Dexter series, “Dexter Is Dead,” now in bookstores, picks up from the end of the previous book, with the titular vigilante serial killer under arrest and facing a murder charge — ironically for a crime he didn’t actually commit.

“I always knew that someday the wheels would come off,” author Jeff Lindsay said.

Starting with the 2004 novel “Darkly Dreaming Dexter,” the series follows the exploits of Dexter Morgan, a blood splatter analyst with the MiamiDade Police Department. Following a code developed by his adoptive father — a police officer — to only kill other killers, Dexter balances a public life of work, friends and family with his not-so-public, homicidal pastime. But now Dexter’s story is coming to a climatic conclusion.

“I had all these wonderful, outrageous ideas for how it would happen, and I didn’t end up using any of them, which I guess is par for the course,” Lindsay said. “Your first idea, the one that gets you going, is never the one you end up with.”

It’s safe to assume that none of those ideas involved Dexter faking his death and starting a new life in the Pacific Northwest as a lumberjack. That’s how the “Dexter” television series based on Lindsay’s characters concluded in 2013 after eight seasons.

“Boy oh boy oh boy, did I get mail about that,” Lindsay said.

While the first season of the show kept relatively close to the first novel, the plotlines of later seasons had virtually nothing to do with the books. So Lindsay could only tell irate fans, “It wasn’t me.”

Fan reaction aside, Lindsay said he doesn’t really have an opinion on the final episode because he didn’t actually see it. He had just started a 10-month book tour for his previous novel, “Dexter’s Final Cut,” and he didn’t get a chance to watch the show’s finale.

“So I don’t have any opinion on whether it was good or bad except that TV is very, very different,” Lindsay said. “The demands of that medium are very different from what is demanded in the book, and it’s never going to be the same thing. I’m sure they (the show’s producers) did what they thought was right.”

Lindsay said he has mixed feelings about leaving a popular character and a successful book series behind.

“This is kind of what I had always wanted, to have a book series like that,” Lindsay said. “And to say goodbye to it is like launching yourself into the unknown and starting over again. But it was time. I don’t think it got stale, but I felt like someday soon it might start to get stale on me. Better to go out on top, leave them wanting more.”

Lindsay said he was never bothered by the gruesome murders or the violent psychopaths he spent more than a decade writing about. He credits this to the training he received years ago while pursuing an acting career in Hollywood.

“One of the things they taught us was how to be the whacky neighbour on the hit sitcom,” Lindsay said.

“It’s not who you are. You go home, and you take the costume off. You have dinner with the family.

And the next day, you go in and put the costume on again. And that’s always the way I wrote Dexter.”

While Lindsay’s acting career never really took off, he did get to use his voice-acting skills by performing the audiobooks of the last four Dexter novels, starting with the cannibalism-themed “Dexter Is Delicious.” He said his publisher initially insisted that non-fiction writers could do their own audiobooks, but it just wasn’t done with fiction.

“I just kept telling them, it’s something I do, and I used to be good at it,” Lindsay said.

Lindsay will spend the near future promoting “Dexter Is Dead,” but he hasn’t decided what to work on next. He said he may or may not stick with the crime fiction genre.

“I’ve got a couple of ideas going in that, and I’ve got some ideas outside that,” Lindsay said. “When my wife and my agent tell me which one of those ideas I’m going to do, I’ll start doing it.”

it sound complicated, but it is an absorbing read — tarot cards, freak mermaid drownings, along with an unexplainable magical sense from beginning to end.

Readers not only receive a good story, but they learn the trick of holding their breath under water and the secret behind tarot cards.

Swyler has written an enchanting story with alluring descriptions that make this a pleasant read.

C6 New class of particles detected PENTAQUARKS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN - A new kind of subatomic particle called the pentaquark has been detected for the first time, the European Organization for Nuclear Research said Tuesday.

The lab, known by its French acronym CERN, said the findings were made by a team of scientists working on the LHCb experiment, one of the four at its Large Hadron Collider.

The existence of pentaquarks was first proposed in the 1960s by American physicists Murray Gell-Mann and Georg Zweig. Gell-Mann, who received the Nobel Prize in 1969, coined the term “quark” to describe the building blocks that make up hadrons - subatomic particles such as the proton and the neutron.

Until recently, only hadrons with two or three quarks had been found.

In recent years, physicists have seen evidence of hadrons made up of four quarks, called tetraquarks.

Previous claims to the detection of pentaquarks, containing four quarks and an anti-quark, have been refuted.

But experts said the new results from CERN, which have been submitted to the journal Physical Review Letters, appear credible.

“It is indeed compelling, in part because of the clarity of their experimental data, but also because I can’t find a viable alternative explanation,” said Eric Swanson, a theoretical physicist at the University of Pittsburgh.

Swanson, who wasn’t involved with the LHCb experiment, said proof of the existence of pentaquarks would be a major boost for physics.

“Every particle we’re aware of, except for a few oddballs, is made up of quark and antiquark, or three quarks. That’s what builds up the mass of the universe, what makes you and me and the Earth and the sun,” he said.

“This, if verified, should be the beginning of a whole new form of matter.”

Guy Wilkinson, a spokes-

FRIDAY, JULY 17, 2015

man for the LHCb experiment team, said studying pentaquarks may help scientists to better understand “how ordinary matter, the protons and neutrons from which we’re all made, is constituted.”

The discovery would be the second major find at the Large Hadron Collider, which is used by physicists from around the world.

The collider was instrumental in the discovery of the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle that had long been theorized but never confirmed until 2013.

The collider is housed in a 27-kilometre (16.8-mile) tunnel beneath the Swiss-French border near Geneva.

It was recently given a $150 million upgrade that allows atoms to be smashed together with even greater force, allowing it to recreate conditions similar to those during the earliest moments of the universe.

CERN likened previous attempts to prove the existence of pentaquarks to looking for silhouettes in the dark, “whereas LHCb conducted the search with the lights on, and from all angles.”

ANNIE ANNIE

You’ve been holding in your resentment, jealousy and fears for 40 years and they are still eating at you. Please talk to a counselor so you can air your feelings to someone other than your wife and get help managing them. Your doctor can refer you.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Had Enough,” the 68-year-old woman who was tired of her husband’s demand for sex.

At about that same age, my wife told me that she really didn’t want to have sex. In a loving way, she said that she physically couldn’t put up with it anymore. I was hurt at the time and somewhat angry. But when I thought about it, I was also somewhat relieved, because in the few months prior, I felt my heart racing and was exhausted when making love.

I obeyed my wife’s wishes and we stopped having sex. Then, several months later, I almost suffered a heart attack. I needed extensive heart surgery and it took me months to recov-

er. To this day, I am grateful that my wife was the first to call it off. I might have been dead otherwise. — Ever So Thankful Dear Thankful: While it is true that exertion can strain the heart, chances are that your heart troubles would have happened whether or not you gave up sex. And a lot of men would not be willing to accept that solution, regardless of health.

But if abstinence works for you and your wife, that’s fine with us. You have found a way to make the lack of sex work in your favor.

Old suit, new story: Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, the title character of Marvel’s Ant-Man, ponders trading his old life as a burglar for one as a superhero.

Ant-Man wields a secret weapon: wit

BY MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Paul Rudd probably wouldn’t make a casting agent’s shortlist for a Marvel superhero. Even if you view the actor’s charm — worn less like a cape than a shrug — and his apparent agelessness, his selfeffacing, Everyman nature makes him an eccentric choice for a comic book character.

But then again, Ant-Man is not your typical, larger-than-life part. Possessing the ability to shrink to the size of an ant without altering his normal human strength, Ant-Man, on paper, sounds like a rejected idea from a desperate comic book writers’ brainstorming session. Never mind his ability to exercise telepathic control over actual ants. (Be still my heart.)

In the film Ant-Man, Rudd’s version of the obscure Marvel character — a hero first introduced in 1962 — makes for a perversely pleasurable combination of puniness and power.

Telling the story of Scott Lang, a man who inherits the mantle of Ant-Man from the costumed crusader’s originator, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), the movie deploys its real secret weapon: wit.

The second half of this nearly two-hour film is a pure delight — fastpaced and funny and filled with special effects and humor as great as any recent Marvel movie, with the possible exception of Guardians of the Galaxy.

One of the film’s signature bits involves the disconnect between AntMan’s tiny heroics — which during the film’s climax take place on a child’s train set — and what those heroics look TRAVEL WITH like to normal sized people.

Ant-Man’s mighty struggle to heave a “because we care” Thomas the Tank EnPAY FOR 5 gine toy, for instance, is CASINO DAY TRIPS contrasted with the re- 6TH DAY TRIP IS FREE sulting plasticky clatter as it skitters harmlessly YELLOWHEAD CASINO across the floor, making EDMONTON for a sublime sight gag.

FRONTIER

and the original Ant-Man, to don Pym’s old suit and go after a rival industrialist (Corey Stoll) who’s trying to sell similar miniaturization hardware to bad guys.

Unfortunately, much of this prologue, which also deals with Lang’s bond with his young daughter (Abby Ryder Fortson) and his rivalry with his ex-wife’s new boyfriend (Bobby Cannavale), creeps along at a snail’s pace.

Despite a visually clever sequence when Lang first tries on the ant suit — encountering such dangers as a giant vacuum cleaner and a cataract of water from a bathtub spigot — the first half of the film feels, at times, more like a relationship drama than an action movie.

All that ends when the action kicks in, ‘round about the movie’s midway point. Once it does, AntMan turns into a rousing, Ocean’s Eleven-style heist flick crossed with a mini- Mission: Impossible, in which Lang and his army of six-legged ninjas attempt to steal the competing shrink-suit, dubbed Yellowjacket. (Fair warning; There are a number of scenes featuring CGI creepy-crawlies. To its credit, the Ant-Man supporting cast looks uncomfortably lifelike, presenting what could be a minor problem for the entomophobic moviegoer.)

It’s easy to see the appeal of the Ant-Man character to the film’s co-writer and original director, Edgar Wright, auteur of such quirky send-ups of genre film as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

YOU MUST GET THROUGH THE LONG (AND NECESSARY) SET-UP TO THE STORY TO REACH THE POINT WHERE ANT-MAN TURNS INTO A ROUSING OCEAN’S ELEVEN-STYLE HEIST FLICK, CROSSED WITH A MINI-MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. BUT IF YOU DO THAT, YOU’LL FIND THIS MOVIE PUNCHES FAR ABOVE ITS WEIGHT. There’s a perverse magic to a hero whose un-Hulklike, underdog status — the ability to bulk down, never up — is his strength, not his weakness.

Although Wright dropped out of the picture last year after creative differences surfaced with Marvel, his replacement, director Peyton Reed, obviously respects the character’s paradoxical power.

It may take a while for the movie to wind up, but Ant-Man packs a punch well above its weight.

Archie & gang reborn as hipsters CALGARY ARTIST TABBED TO DRAW COMIC ICON IN MILLENNIAL STYLE

BY JENNIFER CHAUSSEE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE If it weren’t for the flaming red hair and toothy grin, you might not recognize the new Archie Andrews.

The 75-year-old comic book character has undergone a major makeover, and his new hipster look debuted this week at the annual Comic Con event in San Diego, California. Archie Comics is launching a new line of comics featuring a modernized Archie after it experimented for six years on how to bring the iconic character into the 21st century.

“It was clear to me that Archie was moving down the path of irrelevancy,” says Jon Goldwater, chief executive officer of Archie Comics and son of the man who created the first Archie in 1941. “I really wanted to aim for the comic book shops and the real comic book reader and do a complete relaunch of Archie.”

With his chiseled jawbone, skinny jeans, and Justin Bieber haircut, the new, hipster Archie is a far cry from the buck-toothed bumpkin of earlier days.

The rest of his pals at Riverdale High have also been transformed. In her low-slung, ripped jeans, Betty is a thoroughly modern teenager; unlike her slightly two-dimensional 1950’s incarnation, she is endowed with a full range of facial expressions.

Archie’s best friend, Jughead, still wears a crown, but in every other respect he looks more like a stoner than a jester. In a slow-reveal strategy, the publisher has left Veronica out of the first comic in the new series.

When he took over the company in 2009, Goldwater said, the brand was emblazoned in readers’ minds as a nos-

talgic stereotype. ave Meanwhile, a wave of indie titles was msweeping into comne ic book stores. One cof the most sucw cessful in the new n breed has been Saga, a science-y fiction fantasy series illustrated

by Fiona Staples.

Archie Comics tapped the Canadian artist for its Archie redesign. “ F i o n a was our first ter says. “If choice,” Goldwater e was going to be no she said yes, there th anybody else. We conversations with id yes.” ” were so lucky she said To create Archie #1, Staples teamed up with writer Mark Waid, known for his work on such titles as Superman and The Flash for DC and Marvel Com-

ics.

Riverdale High as reimagined by Staples High, and Waid, seems a fairly good mirror of a public high school in a middle-income neighborhood. The student body is ethnically diverse, one character is handicapped, and almost everyone is

glued to smartphones.

Representing today’s tech-centric world through writing was a struggle for Waid. The old Betty and Veronica characters bonded over trips to the mall or days at the beach. Today, characters are Instagramming and texting.

“Kids don’t socialize the same way they did 20, 30 years ago,” Waid says.

“Kids socialize almost exclusively on social media. That’s antithetical to [visual] drama.”

Staples drew cell phones and videogame remotes in the hands of the characters, and Waid filled in text bubbles and other visual cues that let readers know what is happening on characters’ screens.

It’s a big gamble for the 30-person publisher, which relies on its namesake comic as a major source of revenue.

Modern Modernizing Archie was “expensive,” says Goldwater: “You hire the top talent, so costs increase. But it’s a small price to pay because we’re rebranding the entire A Archie universe.”

Archie Comics, a private c company in Pelham, New Y York, declined to share reven enue figures, but Goldwater sa says preorders for Archie #1 we were the highest he’s seen in six years.

The publisher also plans to rel release a Jughead #1 series in Oct October, followed by a digital com comic featuring Kevin Keller, Arch Archie’s first openly gay character acter.

In 2014, North American comi comic sales increased 7 percent from a year earlier, to $935 million, according to Comichron, a websi website that that covers the industry dustry.

Tha That bump in revenue is partially d due to an increase in digital com comic sales (Archie #1 will be release released digitally and in print).

While e-books and digital comics made up just 4 per cent of overall sales in 2011, they made up an estimated 10 per cent of sales last year.

Documentary creator becomes a lab rat

BY LOIS ABRAHAM THE CANADIAN PRESS With some people calling sugar toxic and others insisting it’s essential for energy, filmmaker Damon Gameau decided it was time to unpack the ambiguity around the sweet substance.

He conducted an experiment — using himself as the guinea pig — to document the effects of a highsugar diet on a healthy body. He would eat 40 teaspoons of sugar a day, the equivalent of just above the daily teenage average in Australia, and show his progress in That Sugar Film.

The twist?

The sugars had to be hidden in commonly perceived “healthy” foods and drinks — like granola bars, juice, low-fat yogurt, cereal, smoothies and sports drinks. The sugar had to consist of sucrose and fructose, whether “added” or naturally occurring.

He had to avoid pop, junk food, ice cream and candy. He had to choose low-fat foods and maintain his same level of exercise.

With his first breakfast of cereal, juice and yogurt, Gameau found he was nearly halfway to his daily total with about 20 teaspoons of added sugar. (One teaspoon of sugar is about four grams.)

During the two-month experiment, Gameau was supervised by medical and nutrition experts. He gained 6.8 kg and packed on more than 10 cm around his belly. Within three weeks he’d developed fatty liver disease. He suffered from mood swings, lack of energy and skin breakouts.

By the end, he had early Type 2 diabetes and heart disease risks.

This all came from eating much less fat and fewer calories than before he started.

“I was eating a lot of food that parents might feed their kids,” said Gameau, noting many of the products are cleverly marketed with bright colours and slogans denoting health.

“But as we explore in the film, they often have more sugar in them than their healthier alternatives.”

The World Health Organization recommends limiting daily intake of added sugars to less than 10 per cent of total energy intake. A further reduction to below five per cent or roughly 25 grams (six teaspoons) per day would provide additional health benefits, the WHO says.

“We’re not trying to demonize it and say don’t ever have sugar again. Just be aware of where it’s actually hiding because then you can make choices,” said Gameau.

While making the film, he became aware of the levels of non-alcoholic liver disease, diabetes and obesity in kids.

“The more I learned and understood the topic

GALAXY CINEMAS RED DEER 357-37400 HWY 2, RED DEER COUNTY 403-348-2357

the more I thought you really have to make sure kids see this. That’s why I really played with the tone and made it irreverent and fun and accessible to families.”

Gameau put what he couldn’t include in the film in That Sugar Book, a companion volume that includes tips, advice and recipes.

The good news for Gameau is that his health and weight went back to normal once he returned to his pre-experiment diet.

“I think there’s a terrific message in there, how reliant as a society we are on medications and big pharma, that a lot of this stuff obviously can be prevented by eating the right foods.

“For many people who aren’t too far down the road you can get incredibly positive results just from changing the way you eat.”

The film opens Friday in Toronto, Calgary and Winnipeg, with wider release later.

AXELSEN Colin and Madeline Colin Stuart Axelsen, 37, and his beloved 10-month-old daughter, Madeline Claire, of Wetaskiwin, Alberta, died on July 12, 2015, as a result of a tragic car accident. Colin was born on November 13, 1977, in Red Deer, Alberta to Gerald and Sarah Axelsen. In 2003, he married his soul mate, Leanne Axelsen, nee McIver. Madeline Claire Axelsen was born on August 29, 2014, in Edmonton. Colin and Madeline are survived by Leanne, and his sons and her brothers, Emmett, 5, and Benjamin, 4; by Colin’s parents, Gerald and Sarah Axelsen of Red Deer; his siblings, Karen & Kent Heggerud of Larchmont, NY (children Aidan, Nicholas, Geneva and Cole), Tamar & Maynard Dueck of Red Deer (children Samuel and Lauren), and Michael Axelsen & Taylor Kennedy of Red Deer; by Madeline’s maternal grandparents, Roger and Beverley McIver of Three Hills, and their children, Paul & Chantelle McIver of Niger, Africa (children Bennett, Ariel and Ella), Bryan & Lisa McIver of Olds (children Kaytie and Elsa), and Amy McIver & Saulo Castro of Drumheller; and by Madeline’s great-grandfather, Ted Epp of Three Hills.

Colin and Madeline will be remembered with love by a large extended family on both sides. Madeline loved her mommy and “da-dee”, was adored by her big brothers, and brought joy to all who knew her. Madeline was always ready to greet you with a smile and her own form of kiss-a soft touch of foreheads that always brought a smile, and a gesture that will always be remembered as a symbol of her love. Colin and Madeline will be laid to rest in Wetaskiwin on Sunday, July 19. The viewing will be held at Baker Funeral Chapel from 10:00-12:30, followed by a memorial service at the Wetaskiwin Mission Church at 3:30. Donations in support of Leanne, Emmett and Benjamin can be made at any Servus Credit Union in Alberta or through the Keziah Grace Foundation at keziahgracefoundation.com/leanne-axelsen.html.

Menswear takes centre stage NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — It’s the men’s turn.

New York Fashion Week has always celebrated the glamour of women’s fashion, but has relegated menswear to a supporting role. This week, building on a growing public appetite for menswear, the industry is putting on the first stand-alone men’s fashion week in New York in nearly two decades (a brief attempt fizzled in the late ’90s.)

Here are some highlights of New York Fashion Week: Men’s.

MICHAEL KORS TAKES AN ISLAND VACATION The affable Kors went old school, presenting each of 27 looks himself, salon-style, to intimate groups of fashion editors, buyers and media.

The goal: to outfit the Kors man for a quick island getaway, from Capri to Catalina. He departs in black — a crushed-cotton blazer, tank and loose singlepleated trouser — and changes upon arrival into all white seersucker that has the ease of cozy pyjamas.

No linings or shoulder pads here. And Kors was feeling tactile in fabrics that included chambray linen, along with an Anorak you can actually wear when it’s wet.

“We all have a closet full of raincoats that you can’t wear in the rain,” he said to laughs.

Banter might as well be Kors’ middle name. He did it well when presenting a cashmere pullover and long cardigan sweater.

“The weather is crazy,” he said, echoing feedback from retailers. “We need sweaters all year round. We need cotton in the winter. We need wool in the summer. Forget the rules!”

Kors worked for spring 2016 in a range of Mediterranean blues, whites that included ecru and ivory, and a brown the colour of peanuts.

He was going for polish in unstructured casual, using linen and cotton blends, traditional pinstriping in unstructured silhouettes and accessories that included a reversible tote with suede on one side.

Collars are meant to be open and anything goes these days, he said, noting: “I think my grandma thought air conditioning was just an excuse for another fur jacket.”

BARE CHESTS — OH, AND SOME CLOTHES — AT NAUTICA One could have been forgiven for neglecting, at first, the clever New York City-inspired prints on the swim trunks worn by the male models at the Nautica presentation. That’s because there were so many, well, bare chests on display — certainly not your usual fashion show.

But looking beyond those attention-getting, and avidly photographed, chiseled torsos, one could find references in the prints to New York’s Chrysler building, to New York waterway maps, and also to gargoyles from the tops of buildings. “We have these little storytelling moments to tie the whole thing together and put it all through a New York filter,” said Steve McSween, Nautica’s creative director.

McSween, showing his first collection since joining the brand about seven months ago, described the theme as “where the water meets the city.” What he meant was that these clothes, today, are as likely to be found on a city street as at the beach.

“To be honest, the last place guys are wearing these shorts are in the wa-

ter,” McSween said. “These guys are having this beach-to-street moment.”

McSween raved about the opportunities created

by New York’s first successful stand-alone men’s fashion week.

“It’s the dream!” he said. “It’s what you want. The men’s market has obviously got enough swag to carry its own moment, and to be able to have that platform, to be able to showcase what you want to do and the way you want to do it, is everything.”

TOMMY HILFIGER GOES ON ’50s GLAM HOLIDAY It’s not just about the journey. It’s about how you look whilst embarking on it.

So says Tommy Hilfiger in a collection inspired by a stylish 1950s holiday, with a few modern twists for spring and summer looks of bright yellow, coral and teal.

Suits came with skinny pants and slightly cropped, tailored jackets.

Some of the jackets were double-breasted, including one in blue with horizontal stripes with a sheen in cotton sateen. Another suit was made of blue denim.

Hilfiger himself was not on hand for the presentation of 21 looks, but show notes said a few patterns were inspired by Honolulu’s architecture.

Nautical notes came in Breton stripes on sweaters and crested buttons.

And don’t forget the outerwear: lightweight nylon macs and airfield styles.

Nobody does Hilfiger like Hilfiger and this collection screamed his name.

Models during a presentation by Public School at Men’s Fashion Week in New York this week. The spring/ summer 2016 collection in the brand’s signature palette of black, white, grey and navy was a mix of crisp tailored trousers, short and long, and lapelled jackets —sleeveless and not. Slouchier jackets and pullovers had windowpane detailing.
