POWER PLANT SHUTDOWNS

Electricity market review needed: MacIntyre

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Wildrose MLA Don MacIntyre wants a government standing committee to undertake an extensive review of Alberta’s electricity market.

And deregulation of the electricity market might need to be reconsidered, the Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA said.

MacIntyre is his party’s critic for electricity and was reacting to recent findings by the Alberta Utility Commission that TransAlta Corp. deliberately triggered coal-fueled power plant shutdowns in 2010 and 2011 to raise electricity rates.

The company said the actions were stopped almost five years ago and have not been repeated, and has promised an independent review of its practices that will be made public.

During shutdowns done for legitimate maintenance reasons, the AUC found that TransAlta purposely timed shutdowns during peak and superpeak demand periods, MacIntyre said.

The Market Surveillance Administrator, Alberta’s watchdog over the electricity and natural gas markets, believes that TransAlta made $16 million in profits from the shutdowns.

“This is especially hard on your fixed income people. ... The principle here that was broken was fairness,” MacIntyre said.

“When we have a situation like this where there’s limited competition in the marketplace, the companies that are involved have to be trusted to act in the best interest of us, the people. And that wasn’t done here.”

While he’s pleased TransAlta has put in place measures that would prevent a recurrence, MacIntyre wants to see the provincial government craft policy around those measures if they are sufficient, that would prevent any corporation from manipulating Albertan’s electricity pricing in the future.

“It has been Wildrose’s position for a long time that the electricity system needs an overhaul. And this is really illustrating that point.”

Albertans have every right to recommend to government that they want to see deregulation done away with, said MacIntyre.

“I don’t like when government has to micro-manage businesses but I understand that sometimes the need is there when businesses will not act responsibly in the best interests of the people who are at their mercy.”

He said he does not have an opinion yet on whether deregulation should end.

Deregulation was intended to create competition and therefore more competitive energy prices.

Zap! Lightning storms potentially deadly events ALBERTANS URGED NOT TO BECOME COMPLACENT

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Tornadoes get all the ink but the truth is it’s the common thunderstorm that claims more lives in Canada most years.

Dan Kulak, an Environment Canada warning preparedness meteorologist in Edmonton, says fatalities from tornadoes are actually rare in Canada, although Alberta has certainly seen the worst of it.

“What is far more common unfortunately is fatalities from lightning. In Canada about 10 people per year are killed by lightning.” Environment Canada numbers show there are about 164 lightning-related injuries each year and most occur during July and August.

Most of the deaths are likely related to storms that didn’t have any warnings associated with them, Kulak said.

“We do not put out warnings just for lightning because if we did we’d have thousands of thunderstorms per year just in Alberta, every one of them requiring a warning. It’s just not reasonable.”

The bottom line really is awareness and preparedness, and understanding that when there’s a 30 per

“There’s no thunderstorms without lightning. And a lightning storm is a potentially deadly event.”

Determined effort revives trout pond

A few weeks ago, an aeration system was installed in the pond. Slowly, Kneehill Creek is filling the 5.7acre pond. By next spring, it’s anticipated that the pond will be ready to be stocked with trout again.

A group of fishing enthusiasts is slowly bringing to life an abandoned fishing pond near Red Deer.

All that’s needed now for Kneehill Valley Pond is improved and more water, and some trout.

The pond about 16 km east of Innisfail was known as Bennett Pond but has been renamed recently.

Kevin Wingert, a Central Alberta Fish and Game Association zone representative, got involved several years ago with trying to restore the fishing pond.

It was closed 10 years ago when the water conditions weren’t good enough to stock it with fish anymore.

In 2008, the current landowner, Dan Radomske, approached Fish and Game members to see if they were interested in getting the pond back into use, said Wingert.

It looked grim. There were too many problems with the water quality, and the water levels were really low, and there was some washout at the toe of the dam. Nobody wanted to spend any money to repair it, Wingert said.

But he decided to start applying for grants and as time went by, the pond revival began to take shape with the help of volunteers, and donations by contractors and others. They received grant money to buy in an aeration system, which would turn bad water for fish into good water.

Then in June 2012, after repair work had been done on the dam, they suffered a setback. The major rains that flooded Calgary also struck the area, and the clay dam washed out completely. They were back to square one, said Wingert. Fortunately the aeration system had not been installed yet.

Six people charged after police rescue man from hotel

PERFECT PERCH

BY ADVOCATE STAFF When Red Deer RCMP executed an arrest warrant at a hotel in the city on Thursday, they interrupted an alleged aggravated assault and forcible confinement, and ended up charging six people.

RCMP went to a room at the Aladdin Hotel in North Red Deer in the afternoon, investigating the whereabouts of Darren Lagrelle, 19, who was wanted on outstanding warrants.

When they entered the hotel room at 3:20 pm, police discovered a man they said was being held in the hotel room. The man had suffered a non-lifethreatening injuries and was treated at the scene by EMS and released.

Police took four men and three underage girls into custody without incident. The victim and suspects were known to each other.

RCMP returned to the hotel Friday morning at approximately 8 a.m. with a search warrant for the room. They seized a number of edged weapons and a rifle, as well as a small amount of drugs.

Lagrelle of Red Deer has been charged with forcible confinement, aggravated assault, disguise with intent, robbery and several other charges.

Jeffrey Allan King, 18, of Red Deer, Daniel Arthur Potter, 26, of Innisfail, and Corim Kyle Conway, 23, of Red Deer, are also facing forcible confinement and aggravated assault charges, as well as other charges.

Two of the underage girls, who cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, are being jointly charged with forcible confinement and aggravated assault as well. One also faces two charges of failing to comply with an undertaking ; the other faces a further charge of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

They are all to will appear in Red Deer provincial court at a later date.

The third girl was released without charges.

ELECTRICITY: Hopes penalty is enough MacIntyre said he hopes any penalty the AUC has yet to impose on TransAlta is enough so the problem will never occur again.

The AUC had also ruled that TransAlta allowed its energy trader to use privileged information related to shutdowns so the company could benefit in the market.

It also found that the Market Surveillance Administrator did not prove allegations that TransAlta’s compliance policies, practices and oversight were inadequate and deficient. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

LIGHTNING: Don’t live in a bubble Thunderstorms happen so often people become complacent, he said.

“Don’t live in a bubble but be aware.” “‘Oh it’s another thunderstorm ... I hear a rumble of thunder,’ and you still sit out there and you’re finishing mowing the grass, your drink on the patio, or whatever it is that you’re doing, because you’re complacent.

“But if you see a tornado, which you hardly see in your lifetime if ever, it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I better go find shelter.’ But what are the odds?” said Kulak.

He was one of two Environment Canada meteorologists who went to the Pine Lake tornado scene after it struck in 2000, killing 12 people. He’s not seen anything like it since. Prior to Pine Lake there was the 1987 tornado in Edmonton that took 27 lives.

A recent tornado in Ontario did a lot of damage but

there was no loss of life.

One thing that’s within everyone’s control is to keep that an “eye on the sky”, check the local weather forecast, and understand that lightning is the biggest likely weather threat on any given day in the summertime, Kulak said.

On average there are 300,000 to 400,000 lightning strikes per year in Alberta versus eight tornadoes.

“Where’s the odds? They are potentially equally deadly but you got way more probability in the lightning.”

“You are just downstream of the genesis zone for thunderstorms in Alberta. ... and you’re in Hail Alley ... from just south of Calgary to basically Lacombe.

Red Deer is right in there. You get lots of summer weather.”

Kulak is a big fan of Weatheradio, which is available on stand-alone devices without being connected to the Internet.

Weatheradio Canada is operated by Environment Canada and broadcasts information 24 hours a day on dedicated frequencies. Warning message are broadcast to warn people about bad weather. Over 90 percent of Canadians can access the Weatheradio signal.

The stormy weather here generally starts to wind down in the middle of August, Kulak said.

“There’s not usually a lot left by early September.

That being said you can still have severe weather events well after that.”

Despite what seems like a long hot summer so far, July’s weather was only a bit above normal. The average mean temperature for the month, at the Red Deer Airport, is 15.9C (gathered over a 30-year period).

Last month the average mean temperature was 16.5C. Precipitation was also a bit above normal. The average for July is 94.4 mm. Last month there was 107.4 mm of rain at the airport.

“It was close enough to be normal even though it’s slightly above normal,” Kulak said.

The hottest day of the month was July 9 when the temperature reached a high of 30.5C. The day with the most rain was July 17 when 30.2 mm was record-

Undeterred, everyone got back to work and earlier this spring the dam was rebuilt with large Legolike concrete blocks, and large rocks in the spillway.

The dam is double in size now and will handle “torrential” rain much better.

There’s a move to increase the number of stocked ponds in Alberta, Wingert said.

The ponds worked well in the 1950s and 60s, but today different and heavier agriculture practices contribute to algae. The way around it is through aeration technology, which adds oxygen to the water, and also keeps ponds from freezing over so fish will survive through winter, he said.

Doug Wood, another Fish and Game Association member who helped with the project, said the pond had been a fishery for 20 years.

“You really get nice big trout from these ponds now. There’s very few of them in our area ... in Central Alberta,” Wingert said.

A few weeks ago the aeration system, which runs on electricity, was installed in the pond. Slowly, Kneehill Creek is filling the 5.7-acre pond. By next spring, with the expectation that aeration will have improved the water quality, it’s anticipated that the pond will be ready for trout stocking again.

The Alberta Conservation Association is interested in stocking the pond. It offers a guide to stocked ponds that includes directions to various ponds, which are often a good spot for children to learn the sport of angling.

Fishing in Kneehill Valley Pond will be open to the public, and is expected to start up again next year for the first time in about 10 years. Provincial fishing regulations will apply. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Anonymous has role to play: father VANCOUVER — While experts and officials decry recent instances of vigilantism by the hacktivist group Anonymous, one beneficiary of the group’s activism is adamant that justice would never have been served without involvement by the clandestine organization.

Glen Canning said he believes Anonymous’ threats to publicly identify boys allegedly involved in the cyberbullying that predated his daughter Rehtaeh Parsons’ death prompted Halifax police to reopen their investigation and eventually lay charges.

None of this would have happened if Anonymous hadn’t stepped in, said Canning. “I believe that absolutely. I have no question about that at all.”

Her family alleges Parsons was sexually assaulted in November 2011 and bullied for months when a digital photo of the assault was passed around her school. She died after attempting suicide in 2013. An angry post from Parsons’ mother brought the case to the attention of Anonymous, said Can-

ALBERTA Police say fatal crash happened after driver saw CheckStop and made U-turn EDMONTON — Police in Edmonton say a driver and one of his passengers are dead after spotting an RCMP CheckStop and making a U-turn.

Investigators say the Toyota Camry was heading east on Yellowhead Trail early Sunday, but then turned and drove west against traffic.

They say the car collided head-on with a Mercedes-Benz SUV, and also hit a Chevrolet Cobalt, before coming to rest on its roof in the median.

The 21-year-old man at the wheel of the Camry and a 21-year-old woman in the rear seat died at the scene, while a 22-year-old man in the front passenger seat suffered serious injuries.

CALGARY — The owner of Calgary’s Riverfront Aquariums pet store is facing charges under Alberta’s Animal Protection Act after a number of animals in distress were seized from the business.

Brad Nichols, the Calgary Humane Society’s manager of cruelty investigations, says peace officers first visited the northeast store last September following a complaint from the public.

Nine rabbits and a bearded dragon were found to be suffering from neglect.

Some of the rabbits were in such poor shape they had to be euthanized.

In May, an iguana and a chameleon in medical distress were seized, and in June, three other lizards and a tree frog in medical distress were seized.

Owner Wayne Woo is set to appear in court Aug. 6, Aug. 24 and Sept. 8 on the three sets of charges, each of which carries a maximum $20,000 fine if convicted.

Bystander video revealed McIntyre was wearing Anonymous’ trademark Guy Fawkes mask. Fawkes was the most well-known member of a plot to blow up the British Parliament in 1605.

“Stuff like this happens because the system is broken,” said Canning. “If we can fix the system ... then maybe we wouldn’t need Anonymous.”

Dalhousie University law professor and cyberbullying expert Wayne MacKay said Anonymous has played a role in advancing the cause of justice. Still, he raised a red flag about the group’s unorthodox style of activism.

“Even if they’re filling a hole in our justice system does that justify breaking the law?” he said.

“Often the answer to that would be no. We do have a structured justice system for a reason and we shouldn’t necessarily allow a sort of vigilante response even if we think the main justice system is moving too slowly.”

Election could be dry run for reform

BY DOREEN BARRIE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE If current polling trends hold, we are heading for a minority government in October, and the two front-runners might have to approach rivals to construct a stable government. Unaccustomed as they are to such a scenario and given that “coalition” is a four letter word in Canada, they will have their work cut out for them.

The challenge flows from our FirstPast-the-Post electoral system and the adversarial nature of our Westminster-style parliamentary system. As we shall see, they combine to produce a climate in which cooperation and compromise are alien, making it difficult to adapt to a new reality.

The Conservative Party won a majority in 2011 with about 40 per cent of the vote. It is thus fair to say that most Canadians do not favour the Conservatives, but our electoral system does.

Not surprisingly, both the Liberals and NDP support electoral reform, but are they capable of dealing with a shift to new political terrain? In the current system, the winner takes all and does not have to pay the slightest attention to suggestions or criticisms from opposition parties.

A majority government has a clear field and does not need to compromise to get legislation passed. The prevailing culture is therefore resistant to cooperation, and we cannot wave a wand and change it.

Will Canadian political parties be able to adapt to the imperatives of proportional representation when and if it is introduced? The result of the October election may be a dry run if they have to combine forces to keep the Conservatives at bay. NDP leader, Thomas Mulcair, has expressed interest in a coalition with the Liberals, but Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has ruled out a “formal” coalition.

The term coalition government is carrying baggage left over from the 2008 campaign when the Liberals and New Democrats, along with the Bloc, proposed one. Reaction from the Conservatives was vitriolic with accusations that the other parties were committing treason for trying to topple a democratically-elected government.

But it is perfectly legal for the Governor General to turn to another party in the House should the governing party lose a vote of confidence. It is a testament to the power of messaging that the Conservatives were able to convince Canadians that what their

rivals were proposing was tantamount to a coup d’état.

Ever since, party leaders, when asked if they will form a coalition, deny that they will. Yet, if there is a hung parliament, a party must enter into some type of arrangement with another party, even if voters feel betrayed.

Our adversarial, Westminster-style parliamentary system further exacerbates the situation. As Question Period demonstrates, MPs are encouraged to go for the jugular in their attempts to best their opponents. There is no incentive to engage in a productive

debate; on the contrary, there are perverse incentives to ridicule ideas and suggestions from across the aisle.

Against such a backdrop, it is difficult to imagine how parties and leaders with such predispositions will come together to govern the country.

The disappointing aspect of this state of affairs is that, in the process of jousting (some of which is just theatre), the parties forget that they were elected to represent the interests of the electorate. It often seems the public interest is being sacrificed on the altar of personal ambition and partisan

interest. If parties lose sight of the fact that power, though heady, is something to be exercised for the greater good, they are doing us a disservice.

There is growing cynicism about politics and politicians among Canadian voters. If party leaders behave badly after the October election, it will further disillusion Canadians and turn them off.

There might be short-term gain for political parties but damage to the body politic will be long-lasting.

The Zionist tribes are also divided between the secular Zionists and the “national religious” tribe. The latter reconcile their Orthodox religious beliefs with the Zionist project by arguing that it was God who inspired the early Zionists in eastern Europe to build a Jewish state in Palestine, even if they did not realize it themselves. Most Jewish settlers on the West Bank, and most of their supporters in Israel proper, belong to this tribe.

All these former minority tribes are to some extent alienated from the secular, liberal-democratic Zionist assumptions that underpin Israel’s current political structure. A few members of each tribe are already so alienated that they turn to violence, like the settlers who attack Palestinian children, the Israeli Arabs who run amok and kill Jews, or the Haredi fanatic who attacked the Gay Pride march.

President Rivlin, “Ruvi” didn’t say that explicitly — it’s too upsetting — but he was pointing out that the emperor has no clothes.

The current secular Zionist domination cannot continue; the other tribes must also come to feel safe and welcome in a different kind of Israel. Specifically, in a “one-state” Israel that includes all the territory between the river Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea. Rivlin, though an Orthodox Jew, doesn’t really belong to any of these tribes: his family has lived in Jerusalem for more than two centuries. He doesn’t believe that the “two-state solution” — one country for Jews and one for Palestinian Arabs — is viable any more, if it ever was. So he is driven to the “onestate solution”, which requires reconciliation and cooperation between all the tribes.

It’s so radical that it almost makes sense. It’s just hard to believe that it could actually happen.

Off and running HARPER TRIGGERS DEPTHS-OF-SUMMER ELECTION CAMPAIGN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Conservative leader Stephen Harper gets instructions on how to operate a machine that puts the finishing touch to a radiator while touring a industrial parts manufacture Monday in Laval, Que. In Sidney, B.C., Green party Leader Elizabeth May chastised Harper for an unfair system that will cost taxpayers “tens of millions of dollars” and give the Tories an unfair advantage.

Canadians “deserve MPs who put Parliament ahead of party” and can set aside “hyper-partisanship for citizenship,” May said.

In his own launch at Bloc Quebecois headquarters in Montreal, leader Gilles Duceppe reiterated his familiar promise to fight for Quebec’s interests in Ottawa, where he said the province has been ignored on critical issues.

But to a person, all four challengers savaged Harper for calling the campaign so early. Harper said he did it to keep the other parties from currying favour with voters on the public dime.

It’s important “that the money come from the parties themselves, not from the government resources, parliamentary resources or taxpayer resources,” he said.

OTTAWA — Canada’s political leaders fired their opening salvos Sunday as Stephen Harper pulled the trigger on a marathon election battle that’s expected to rank among the longest, costliest and most caustic in the history of Confederation.

As holiday-weekend tourists swarmed Parliament Hill CANADA STILL AT and blinding summer sunshine THE TRADE TABLE C2 bathed Rideau Hall, Harper confirmed that Gov. Gen. David Johnston had dissolved Parliament, launching Canada’s longest election campaign since 1872.

A national election “is not a popularity contest,” Harper said, presumably referring to Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, who must use the next 11 weeks — election day is Oct. 19 — to silence a persistent charge that he’s more sizzle than steak.

Across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Que., with the emblematic Peace Tower looming in the distance, Mulcair — perhaps dwelling on the campaign’s history-making potential for the NDP — took a moment to gather himself before urging Canadians to put an end to nearly a decade of Conservative rule.

Middle class families “can’t get ahead” and Harper’s plan for the economy “isn’t working,” he said.

“I’ve fought for Canada my whole life,” Mulcair said.

“Together, we can leave to future generations a strong, united Canada that is more prosperous, more fair and that stands tall on the world stage.”

The Conservatives intend to grow the economy by making “wealthy people wealthier,” Trudeau said in Vancouver, following several hours of radio silence made necessary by a cross-Canada flight.

Trudeau looked relaxed as he predicted the election would ultimately be about which party can give middle-class Canadians a real and fair chance to succeed.

“My opponents can say whatever they like about me,” he said. “I’m going to stay focused on you, on making real change happen that will make a real difference in your life.”

Harper, who called the Oct. 19 vote a “critical decision” on the future of the country, tried to frame the ballot-box question as who should be in charge of managing the economy, creating jobs and overseeing national security.

Heading into the campaign, opinion polls suggest the Conservatives are lagging Mulcair and the NDP, with the Liberals running third. That means that for the first time since anyone can remember, all three main parties have a legitimate shot at forming a government.

And if Sunday was any indication, the road to victory in October will be paved with economic promise — particularly for working families and the shrinking middle class.

Harper touted his party’s economic record and “low-tax plan with disciplined financial management,” saying his rivals wanted “big hikes in spending to lead to permanent deficits as a way of dealing with temporary economic challenges.”

Not counting Sunday or election day, he has 77 days left to make that pitch resonate with voters — including many who were milling about the iconic Centre Block on Sunday, well aware of the country’s new election footing.

Harper may be over a barrel when it comes to the sinking price of oil, said Charlie Bjerrisgaard, who was visiting the capital from Keswick, Ont. “Do I think Mulcair or Trudeau could do better?

No,” Bjerrisgaard said. “It’s just the nature of the beast with the oil.”

Ottawa resident Deborah Andrews said voters will face a difficult decision when they go to the polls.

“There are challenges when you are making those choices,” she said. “I’ve been around long enough to know that campaign promises are just that, but I do know that if there is enough momentum you can institute change.”

The longest campaign in more than a century promises to be the most expensive ever.

Combined, the parties could each spend more than $53 million on their national campaigns, and candidates on average about $214,000 — more money than they’ve ever been able to spend before.

By way of its Fair Elections Act, the Conservative government increased spending limits — up from about $25 million for parties and $101,000 on average for candidates — for every day a campaign runs beyond the 37-day window.

BRIEFS

Trial for seven alleged Hells Angels bikers accused of murder postponed MONTREAL — The trial of seven alleged Hells Angels members accused of murder and conspiracy after a massive police operation in 2009 was postponed on Monday until Aug. 10.

It was put off because one of the jurors couldn’t participate due to professional reasons.

The trial is the result of a 2009 police operation called SharQc that netted more than 150 people, including 111 suspected members of the Hells Angels biker gang.

One person charged in the case pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy to commit murder, bringing the total number of people who have pleaded out to 105.

In May 2011 a judge released 31 of the accused due to unreasonable delays in the court proceedings.

Another saw his proceedings dropped, while two other accused, who are anglophone, will have a separate trial, in English, beginning in January.

Eight people wanted in the case are still on the lam and three accused have died since 2009.

Canadian hitchBOT creators mull rebuild after beloved robot destroyed TORONTO — The friendly Canadian hitchhiking robot that met its untimely end on the hard streets of Philadelphia might be given another chance at life.

HitchBOT’s co-creators say they have been overwhelmed with support and offers to revive the childsized robot since it was destroyed early Saturday and they are considering rebuilding it.

The robot was on a hitchhiking adventure in the U.S. after successful ventures in Canada and parts of Europe that saw strangers help hitchBOT travel from

CAIRO — An Egyptian court postponed announcing a verdict in the much criticized case of Mohamed Fahmy once again on Sunday — a move the Canadian journalist described as “crippling.�

The delaying of the verdict to Aug. 29 marks the latest of several postponements in the long-running legal saga that has been denounced by press freedom advocates and human rights activists. “It’s crippling our lives,� a frustrated Fahmy said of the postponement.

Fahmy spent more than a year in prison before a successful appeal of an earlier conviction resulted in his current retrial.

The 41-year-old’s troubles began in December 2013 when he was working as the Cairo bureau chief for Qatar-based satellite news broadcaster Al Jazeera English.

Fahmy, Australian journalist Peter Greste and Egyptian producer Baher Mohammed were detained and charged with a slew of offences, including supporting the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, a banned organization affiliated with ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, and with fabricating footage to undermine the country’s national security.

After a trial which was decried as a sham, they were found guilty and sentenced to prison terms before their appeal led to a fresh trial being ordered.

CANADA

TEVIOTDALE, Ont. — Weather experts say a tornado ripped through a southwestern Ontario community Sunday night, tearing the roof from a bungalow and damaging several police cars.

Environment Canada issued a statement that said the violent winds of up to 220 kilometres per hour occurred in Teviotdale, northwest of Kitchener.

It said the tornado left about nine kilometres of damage in its wake, including destroying the exteriors of two homes, ripping through barns, wrecking cars and down-

place to place while checking items off its bucket list.

This time, hitchBOT was dismembered before it could complete its goals — which this time included taking a selfie with the Hollywood sign and seeing the house from Pixar’s Up.

ing both trees and power lines.

The tornado touched down at about 9 p.m. amid an extreme bout of rain, wind and hail in southwest and southern Ontario that knocked out power to thousands.

Marina Koumarelas with the Teviotdale Truck Stop says she was at work when the tornado happened.

She said main roads were closed about half an hour after the winds touched down, and some had still not reopened by Monday afternoon. “It was very scary,� she said, adding that she did not see the actual funnel clouds, but did see the collateral damage to trees and structures including a nearby chicken barn.

About 900 hydro workers were still working on Monday trying to restore power to the last of about 50,000 Ontarians who were still in the dark after the previous day’s storms.

Environment Canada said there may have been another brief tornado or two during the province’s first bout of severe storms, but there was no serious damage or confirmed reports.

Price is right!

JAYS’ ACQUISITION ON THE MONEY IN PITCHING DEBUT AGAINST TWINS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Toronto 5 Minnesota 1 TORONTO — David Price Day had everything from rousing ovations and powering strikeouts to the thrill of danger and the offensive explosion the Toronto Blue Jays are known for.

Thanks to 11 strikeouts from Price in eight strong innings, his debut was also a 5-1 victory against the Minnesota Twins that put the Blue Jays in a tie for an American League wild-card spot.

“I just wanted to go out there and have fun, pitch as deep as possible into the game and keep it close for our offence,” a smiling Price said. “I’m definitely thrilled with the way today went.”

Price was dominant all afternoon, especially after he gave up a home run to Torii Hunter in the second and loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth.

The ace left-hander acquired last week from the Detroit Tigers showed why the Blue Jays were willing to pay a hefty price, retiring the final 15 batters he faced.

“The place was alive,” manager John Gibbons said of Price getting out of the bases-loaded jam. “That’s hard to do. I don’t care how good a pitcher you are. That’s real hard to do. But he pulled it off and really ran from there.”

As he walked off the mound following his 119th pitch, Price tipped his cap to the sellout crowd of 45,766 at Rogers Centre that fixated on and adored his every move. His 11 strikeouts tied a franchise record for a pitcher making his debut, and he allowed just three hits and two walks.

“That’s what an ace does,” said second baseman Ryan Goins, who hit a solo home run.

Price brushed off the strikeout record and said he would’ve rather gotten all 27 outs. But the way he dazzled

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher David Price throws against the Minnesota Twins during the first inning of a baseball game in Toronto on Monday. the crowd contributed to the buzz on the holiday Monday in Toronto.

Running off the experiences in his career from the 2008 World Series run with the Tampa Bay Rays through last year’s playoffs with the Tigers, Price put his Blue Jays debut at the top of the list.

“That was the best atmosphere I’ve ever been in,” Price said. “I’ve pitched in quite a few big games, but that atmosphere today, that takes the cake. I’ve never experienced anything like that.

That was cool.”

When Price was in the dugout, the lineup Josh Donaldson confidently de-

clared the best in baseball got to Minnesota starter Ervin Santana and the bullpen to the tune of eight hits and two home runs.

CENTRAL ALBERTA AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

Kyle Morrison comes out on top

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

Photo by ASHLI BARRETT/Advocate staff

Matt Steinbach, playing in the championship flight, makes a final putt on Hole 10 at the 2015 Sun Life Financial Central Alberta Amateur golf championship at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club on Saturday afternoon.

It took a year but Kyle Morrison finally got the best of Tom McKinlay Jr. at the Sun Life Financial Central Alberta Amateur golf championship at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club.

Last year the two Central Albertans were tied after nine holes when the final round was called because of bad weather, leaving them as co-winners.

This year Morrison overcame a three-stroke deficit on the final round Monday, winning the 54-hole event with a 216 total and a two-stroke margin over McKinlay.

“Tom made a few mistakes on seven, eight and nine as he went bogey, bogey and double bogey and we were all even at the turn,” explained Morrison, who also bogeyed nine.

“We both hit it in the water, but I was able to get up and down and he didn’t,” the Red Deer native said.

Morrison grabbed the lead for good on the opening three holes on the back.

He made a putt for a birdie on 11 then made a 40-foot putt on 12 to go two up.

“I thought 11 was the turning point then on 12 I was partially under a tree and had only a three-quarter swing at it,” he explained. “I was 74 yards out so all I wanted to do was get on, which I

did. I could see I needed to be a foot outside on the putt and really all I wanted to do was get it close and save par, but it went in. You need to get lucky once in a while to win tournaments.”

Morrison was Kyle Morrison pleased with his overall game Monday, and especially his putting.

“My swing was great all day. I usually play a draw, but that wasn’t there today so I went with a cut the last nine or ten holes and it worked out. As well my putting is usually my strength, but I wasn’t putting well the first two rounds, missing a lot of chances.

“My caddie gave me a tip before the horse-race on Saturday and it worked.

He said I was lifting my putter too much and pulling to the right. I stayed down and it worked.”

Both Morrison and McKinlay shot an opening round 74 Saturday with McKinlay taking the lead Sunday with a 68, three better than Morrison.

Collaros leads Tiger-Cats past Argos

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Tiger-Cats 34, Argonauts 18 Zach Collaros threw three TD passes as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats defeated the Toronto Argonauts 34-18 on Monday night to remain unbeaten at Tim Hortons Field. Hamilton (3-2) improved to 8-0 overall at the facility and moved into a tie with Toronto (3-2) atop the East Division standings. Collaros delivered the decisive blow against his former team with a three-yard TD pass to Bakari Grant at 3:35 of the third to put Hamilton ahead 28-9. It came after Toronto’s failed third-down gamble

at its 43-yard line. Twice Hamilton’s defence stopped Toronto in third-andshort situations.

Hamilton was victorious in its home opener before a sellout of 24,135. Toronto played its fifth straight game away from Rogers Centre although its season-opening 26-11 win over the Edmonton Eskimos in Fort McMurray, Alta., was deemed a home contest.

Toronto plays its first game at Rogers Centre on Saturday night versus the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Hamilton hosts the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Sunday in the second of three consecutive home contests following four straight on the road.

Grant had two TDs for Hamilton while Brandon Stewart and Terrence Toliver scored the others. Justin Medlock added the converts and two field goals. Tori Gurley and Vidal Hazelton scored Toronto’s touchdowns. Ronnie Pfeffer had a convert and field goal with the other points coming on a safety. Collaros’s two second-quarter TD passes staked Hamilton to a 21-9 halftime lead in a frame delayed 26 minutes due to lightning. Collaros capped a 10-play, 73-yard scoring march with a 16-yard TD pass to Grant at 1:28 before finding a streaking Toliver on a 40-yard scoring strike.

Trevor Harris ended a five-play, 75-yard drive with a 19-yard TD pass to Gurley at 4:18. Action was suspended following the score, then resumed as the final 5:38 was completed with Toronto registering a safety at 13:14. Stewart opened the scoring with a 23-yard TD run after recovering Medlock’s 32-yard punt as an onside player. Toronto returner A.J. Jefferson didn’t touch Stewart, who upon gathering in the ball got up and ran it in at 2:54.

NOTES — Offensive linemen Scott Mitchell and Bruce Campbell were Toronto’s scratches while receiver Terrell Sinkfield and defensive linemen Drake Nevis were inactive for Hamilton.

Stamps pull off comeback to beat Alouettes BYTHE CANADIAN PRESS Stampeders 25 Alouettes 22 Calgary Stampeders slotback Marquay McDaniel had extra motivation against the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday night, and it paid off.

McDaniel wanted to outperform former Calgary teammate Nik Lewis, who made his return to McMahon Stadium as a member of the Alouettes.

“It was me and Nik. I’ve got to outplay Nik,” said McDaniel, who caught a pair of touchdown passes to lead the Stampeders (4-2) to a 25-22 win over Montreal (2-3).

McDaniel caught a one-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Drew Tate in the second quarter and then hauled in a 42-yard TD pass from starter Bo Levi Mitchell in the third to put Calgary up 24-20.

“That touchdown in the third quarter was definitely a big one,” said McDaniel, who finished with seven catches for 126 yards. “That was when we said we need to come out and get it. Me and Bo did a good job of being on the same page and executing.”

Mitchell said that it’s great to have someone as reliable as McDaniel as one of his receivers.

“I always say he’s a rock,” said Mitchell, who completed 23-of-32 passes for 329 yards and two touchdowns. “That guy’s a quarterback playing receiver and he’s always in the right position. He sees the coverage, just like I do. He’s always sitting in the right holes and everything and he’s so sure-handed.”

Lewis finished with three catches for 41 yards, but moved into ninth place on the all-time CFL recep-

tions list with 822.

“I just look forward to climbing the chart personally and getting some wins teamwise,” said Lewis, who signed as a free agent with Montreal in the offseason after playing 11 seasons in Calgary. “We’ve got to turn it around.”

Eric Rogers also caught a touchdown for the Stamps, who avenged a 29-11 loss they suffered in Montreal on July 3. Calgary kicker Rene Paredes added a field goal and a single.

Alouettes quarterback Rakeem Cato connected with S.J. Green for his lone touchdown pass. Cato threw three touchdowns against Calgary in his CFL debut.

“This is a game about adversity,” said Cato, who went 20-for-32 for 278 yards and one interception.

“We didn’t handle the adversity all that well. We got a little sluggish. We didn’t take advantage of the opportunities that was handed to us. We’ve just got to come back tomorrow and keep getting better.”

Stefan Logan also scored a touchdown on a punt return for the Alouettes, while Boris Bede kicked a pair of field goals.

Bede helped Montreal open a 17-0 lead with a 37-yard field goal before Cato tossed a 51-yard touchdown pass to Green at 10:14 of the first quarter.

After the Stampeders went two-and-out on their next drive, Logan returned a Rob Maver punt 74 yards into the Calgary end zone.

Calgary answered back at 1:12 of the second quarter when Tate capped off a four-play, 70-yard drive with a short toss to McDaniel in the end zone.

Following a quick two-and-out by Montreal, Mc-

‘THAT TOUCHDOWN IN THE THIRD QUARTER WAS DEFINITELY A BIG ONE. THAT WAS WHEN WE SAID WE NEED TO COME OUT AND GET IT. ME AND BO DID A GOOD JOB OF BEING ON THE SAME PAGE AND EXECUTING.’ — MARQUAY MCDANIEL STAMPEDERS SLOTBACK

Daniel caught a 30-yard pass from Mitchell, who then tossed a 34-yard strike to Rogers in the end zone two plays later to pull the Stampeders within three points.

After Bede kicked a 23-yard field goal at 12:24 of the third, Paredes responded with a 27-yarder two minutes and 20 seconds later.

McDaniel started the second half by catching his second TD of the game, this time from Mitchell, to cap off Calgary’s second four-play, 70-yard drive of the game. Paredes missed a 36-yard field goal at 6:18 of the fourth quarter, but still recorded a 47-yard single to put the Stamps up by five points.

Facing a third-and-two situation on Calgary’s 23 yard-line late in the game, Montreal wasn’t able to convert and the Stampeders got the ball back due to a turnover on downs. On the last play of the game, Mitchell threw the ball backwards to Jeff Fuller, who conceded a safety as time ran out on the clock.

Braves win midget AAA tier II championship

BY ADVOCATE STAFF The Red Deer Carstar Braves had their hitting shoes on as they rolled to the provincial midget AAA Tier II baseball championship at Great Chief Park Sunday.

The Braves opened the seven-team two day tournament with a 9-3 win over Strathmore Friday and whipped the Grande Prairie Reds 16-1 in five-innings Saturday.

The Reds came back from the B side to meet the Braves again in the final which Red Deer won 15-4 in six innings.

Ty Wagar started on the mound for the Braves in the final, allowing four runs on seven hits, three walks while recording four strikeouts over 3 1/3 innings. Zach Olson picked up the win allowing one hit and a walk, while fanning one, in 1 2/3 innings. Austin Hammond worked the final inning, allowing no runs on two hits while fanning two.

Benett Kary had three singles for the Braves while Kelsey Lalor, who just returned from the Pan Am Games where she helped Canada finish second, Olson and Griffin Moline had two hits and two RBIs each.

Olson also had a pair of stolen bases while Parker Booth and Hammond each had two RBI singles, Andrew MacCuaig two singles, Jordan Muirhead an RBI triple and Michael Ozga a double.

JAYS: Chants of “M-V-P” In addition to Goins, Donaldson hit a two-run home run, his 27th of the season, and later heard chants of “M-V-P.” “It’s not like we’ve seen it a couple times,” Gibbons said of Donaldson’s power. “He’s been doing it all year.”

Edwin Encarnacion and Justin Smoak each added an RBI single to help the Blue Jays move to within 5 ½ games of the idle New York Yankees for first in the AL East. Toronto has won five of six games.

“This is a good time for us, and this is when you need to be playing your best baseball, anyhow, no matter who you’re playing,” Donaldson said.

“I’m not saying that the games before weren’t important, but this is when you can make up some ground and see where lie in the standings.”

Fans lined up by the hundreds, if not thousands, outside Rogers Centre more than an hour before gates were scheduled to open for Price’s debut and Russell Martin bobblehead day.

Those in the building when Price walked out to the bullpen to warm up gave him a standing ovation, and it was even louder when he returned to the dugout.

Price had the crowd rocking from his first 92 mph pitch to Brian Dozier and subsequent strikeout through the groundout he induced to wrap up the eighth inning.

The 29-year-old tried to maintain focus but was never worried about fans throwing him off his routine.

“You try and feed off of it as much as you can,” Price said.

“They showed me a tremendous amount of support today, and I’ve got to acknowledge that. This is the type of atmosphere you grow up wanting to be in.”

“I missed at least six putts inside eight feet on Sunday. I should have shot a 65 or 66,” said the 28-year-old Morrison, who has a good rivalry with McKinlay.

“We shared this last year and he beat me in the semifinals of his (match play) tournament in Lacombe this year. We do have a good rivalry the past two or three years.”

The win was the third for Morrison, who also won in 2008. McKinlay won in 1993.

Morrison is two wins behind Mike Zichy and well behind seven-time champion Frank Van Dornick of Camrose.

“Frank is a great player, but I’m still young so you never know maybe I can make a run at him,” he said with a smile.

Morrison has had a good year, winning the RDGCC club championship, finishing tied for eighth in the Alberta mid-amateur and tied for 37th in the amateur.

“I played well in the mid-amateur but not so well in the amateur, although I made the cut, which was a goal,” he said.

Morrison, who is a former Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference champion while at RDC, isn’t sure what the future will hold.

“I started a welding company and would like to start a family, so I’m not sure what the future holds. I would love to play for a living so we’ll see what happens, you never know. Things may click.”

Morrison had ACL surgery in his first year at RDC, but is completely recovered.

“I came back the second year (at RDC) and won Alberta and played well at the nationals which gave me a lot of confidence,” he said.

JD Morrical finished third at 76-74-71— 221 with Levi McDermott fourth (76-74-73—223) and Mike McAdam fifth (70-81-73—224).

Peter McInnes came in sixth at 77-74-75—226 with Tim Skinner (79-74-75) and Matt Codd (79-74-75) tied

for seventh at 228 and Shane Crampton (79-76-74) and Matt Steinbaugh (76-75-78) tied for ninth at 229.

Blair Neal of Wolf Creek won the first flight with a 78-76-79—233, two strokes up on Dale Bingham, of Red Deer (77-80-78).

Other flight winners were: Second: Joey Engert, 7982-80—241. Third: Terry Codd, 79-79-76—234. Fourth: Rich Roberts, 84-83-74—241. Fifth: Mike Ross, 80-8085—245. Sixth: Russ Hall, 84-78-79—241. Seventh: Jim Cramer, 91-89-78—258. Senior: Ron Krulicki, 74-8276—232. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

Merritt shoots 4-under 67 to win Quicken Loans

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GAINESVILLE, Va. — Troy Merritt walked to the final tee with a three-shot lead and slapped hands with fans on both sides of the ropes, knowing he had all but wrapped up his first PGA Tour title and wanting to show his appreciation for the fans cheering him on.

Not a bad turnaround for a player who had missed five cuts in a row coming into the Quicken Loans National.

Merritt shot a 4-under 67 on Sunday and finished his first career victory in 96 starts with a flourish, rolling in a 34-foot putt for birdie on the 72nd hole.

After the putt fell, the 29-year-old former Boise State player raised his hands, looked toward the crowd and shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s amazing how you can dream of winning a golf tournament your entire life and you’ve got it scripted and when it happens, you’re not thinking,” he said.

“You don’t remember what your name is. You’re just reacting. That’s all it was.”

The victory came a day after Merritt soared to the lead with a tournament-record 61 at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, and his closing 67 matched the best of the day on another sweltering afternoon. He finished at 18-under 266, also an event record, and became the 10th first-time winner on the PGA Tour this season.

“It was really nice coming down that final fairway with a two-shot lead,” he said. “Not feeling very much stress, just trying to make as good of a golf swing as I could and, as you saw, it was nice to have only one putt.”

Rickie Fowler, who started the day one shot off the lead, also made a birdie on the final hole to claim second place at 15 under, and David Lingmerth was third, but both had up-and-down rounds.

Fowler shot a 69 that featured seven birdies and five bogeys, and Lingmerth’s 69 included five birdies and three bogeys.

Fowler waited and gave Merritt a hug after his final putt dropped.

“He went out there and earned it today,” Fowler said. “He played some great golf. ... The score that he put up being in the lead and what he did yesterday, to back it up with a solid round of golf — it’s what you’ve got to do to win.”

Merritt, who appeared to be walking in place as

he set up for each shot, alternately tapping his feet to get them in exactly the right position, said he made a slight change in the way he addressed the ball early in the week, and then a putting change made Saturday were critical to his victory. His composure helped, too, as he lost the lead only briefly on the final day and stumbled just once, with a three-putt bogey at the par-4 12th, the most difficult hole on the course. He made five birdies.

“That’s why I’m here. We found two little fixes,” Merrill said.

For much of the day, the tournament seemed destined to become a duel between Merritt and Bill Haas, who had six birdies in his first 10 holes and got to 17 under, tied with Merritt and three clear of the rest of the field. But Haas made four bogeys and a double bogey in the final seven holes, leaving Merritt in position to win it by just making pars.

He did more than that, also knocking an 8-iron to 3 feet on the par-3 16th and making the putt.

It helped that all the expected challengers faltered.

Fowler, one shot back at the start, had three bogeys on the front nine.

Lingmerth, who once shared the lead with Haas and Merritt at 15 under, followed with a bad bogey at the par-5 eighth, the first of three bogeys over the closing 10 holes that kept him from making a move.

Haas wound up with a 70 and shared fourth at 12 under with defending champion Justin Rose and four others.

Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., was the top Canadian at 7-under for the tournament and finished tied for 21st.

Merritt never looked as though the stage was too much.

He opened with a birdie to take sole possession of the lead, and made two more to turn at 3 under.

His bogey at the difficult 12th dropped him into a tie with Haas at 16 under, but Haas then crumbled.

Tiger Woods made a run at contention with birdies on five of his first 10 holes to get to 10 under, but with a huge crowd following and shouting encouragement, he missed a 3-foot putt at No. 11, the first of three bogeys in four holes.

His bogey on the 12th came despite one of the best shots of the tournament. After hitting his drive well right and into a hazard, he took a drop and then hit a blind 5-wood to the back fringe of the green, about 15 feet from the cup.

Troy Merritt reacts to winning the Quicken Loans National golf tournament at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va., Sunday,. Merritt finished the four rounds at 18-under-par.

Woods finished with a 68 to tie for 18th at 8 under.

Woods rose from No. 195 to No. 185 in the FedEx Cup rankings and has just three weeks left to climb into the top 125 and qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs, but said that that is not his focus.

“I’ve got years ahead of me. That’s how I look at it,” he said.

Kevin Chappell, who shared the overnight lead, shot a 77 to finish in the tie for 18th at 8 under.

LONG POND, Pa. — Matt Kenseth stretched his fuel and zipped past the fading leaders in the final thrilling laps Sunday to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway.

The 400-mile race came down to fuel and which cars had it — and which ones didn’t. Joey Logano, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. were all inside the top five in the final five laps when they ran out of fuel.

Busch failed in his bid to become the ninth driver since 1972 and the first since Jimmie Johnson in 2007 to win four straight Cup races.

Kenseth won for the first time at Pocono. With Busch’s recent dominance, Kenseth made it five wins in the last six races for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Brad Keselowski was second, followed by Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Greg Biffle.

Logano was 11th, Truex was 20th and Busch 21st. Busch remained outside the top 30 in points, the second marker he needs to hit to qualify for the Chase.

“I was saving fuel just to cushion it,” Logano said. “I thought I was going to be good and then I started running out and knew we weren’t going to make it. We were so close. You are counting down the laps in your head thinking you are go-

ing to make it but just didn’t do it. ” Busch had won three straight Cup races and four of five, swept the Xfinity and Cup races last weekend at Indianapolis and won the Truck Series event Saturday at Pocono.

“I wish I had saved a little more,” Busch said. “I wish I had known (Logano) was that far from making it. It’s a shame we couldn’t get it done.”

With a win, Busch would have had the points needed to at least crack the top 30, though he’d have to stay there for the final five races before the 16-driver field is set for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

“We got greedy,” Busch said. “But that’s the position we’re in.”

Kenseth had the only position that mattered, winning for the second time this season and for the first time ever at Pocono.

“I never thought I’d win at Pocono,” he said.

Rousey crushes Correia in 34 seconds BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPION DEFENDS HER TITLE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RIO DE JANEIRO — It’s not a good idea to give Ronda Rousey some extra motivation.

Hurt by comments about her family and moved by the death of a close friend and idol, Rousey got off to a quick start and knocked out homecrowd favourite Bethe Correia only 34 seconds into the first round at UFC 190 on Saturday night.

Rousey defended her bantamweight title by throwing a rapid sequence of punches at the Brazilian’s head, landing a combination of right and left strikes that sent her opponent facefirst into the ground and disappointed the local fans packing the HSBC Arena.

It was yet another impressive performance by Rousey, who improved to 12-0 in her incredible MMA career.

She has been crushing her opponents inside the octagon, but this victory seemed special.

Rousey came into the fight upset with Correia after the Brazilian made a comment apparently referencing to Rousey’s father’s suicide. Rousey said Correia crossed the line, so she would try to embarrass her in front of her fans.

“I hope that nobody really brings up my family anymore when it comes to fights,” she said. “I hope this is the last time.”

Before the fight, Correia had said she didn’t know about what happened to Rousey’s father and never intended to attack her personally.

Rousey also was extra motivated after the death of Hall of Fame wrestler Roddy Piper, who was one her greatest idols and inspired her to take the “Rowdy” nickname. She had said she would be fighting for him.

“We’ve lost a really close friend, ’Rowdy’ Roddy Piper, who gave me his permission to use his name as a fighter, so I hope he and my dad had a good time watching this today,” Rousey said.

The UFC’s biggest star, Rousey arrived in Rio as the overwhelming fa-

Ronda Rousey, right, fights with Brazil’s Bethe Correia in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Saturday night. It’s not a good idea to give Ronda Rousey some extra motivation. Hurt by comments about her family and moved by the death of a close friend and idol, Rousey got off to a quick start and knocked out home-crowd favorite Bethe Correia only 34 seconds into the first round at UFC 190 on Saturday night. vourite against Correia (9-1) after winning her previous three title defences in a combined 96 seconds. She needed only 14 seconds to beat Cat Zingano at UFC 184 earlier this year.

“It kind of went how I expected it,” Rousey said. “I planned to instead of trying to force a clinch, overwhelm her (by) striking first so that she would want to clinch first, and that’s exactly what happened.”

Rousey, who has been redefining the sport, has won 11 of her fights in the first round while being taken to the third round once. She has finished

most of her opponents with her signature armbar, but this time it was her striking force that made the difference.

“I guess she can’t really say anything about my hands anymore,” Rousey said of Correia.

Rousey’s next opponent will likely be fellow American Miesha Tate.

In the second-to-last fight on the main card on Saturday, Mauricio Rua topped Rogerio Nogueira with a unanimous decision in a fight between veteran Brazilian light heavyweight fighters. It was a rematch of a fight between

the two in 2005, when Rua won a contest that lasted 38 minutes.

“I knew he was going to be well prepared, but I won, I got the victory,” Rua said.

In other fights Saturday, top-ranked strawweight fighter Claudia Gadelha of Brazil defeated Mexican-born Jessica Aguilar with a unanimous decision after three rounds; heavyweight Antonio Silva of Brazil beat Soa Palelei of Australia with a second-round knockout; Stefan Struve of the Netherlands beat Brazil’s Minotauro Nogueira with a unanimous decision.

Canadian rugby team drops IOC will act if allegations another heartbreaker involve Olympic results: Bach

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEWS IN BRIEF

Dan Dawson was named Canada’s captain on Monday for the upcoming world indoor lacrosse championships.

Chris Corbeil and Brodie Merrill will be assistant captains of Canada’s team for the international event held at Onondaga Nation outside Syracuse, N.Y., from Sept. 18-27.

“It’s humbling, it’s truly an honour,” he says. “I’m going to do everything in my power to wear the Canadian jersey with the greatest respect for everything it stands for.”

Canada is a perfect 17-0 in Federation of International Lacrosse world indoor tournaments.

Malaysia — The IOC will take action against any Olympic athletes if they are found guilty of the latest doping allegations rocking the sport of track and field, IOC President Thomas Bach said Monday. Bach said it is up to the World Anti-Doping Agency to investigate the allegations, including that one-third of medals in endurance races at the Olympics and world championships from 2001 to 2012 were won by athletes who recorded suspicious blood tests.

“If there should be cases involving results at Olympic Games, the IOC will react with zero tolerance with our usual policy,” Bach said.

German broadcaster ARD and The Sunday Times newspaper in Britain said they obtained access to the results of 12,000 blood tests involving 5,000 athletes. The leaked files came from the database of the International Association of Athletics Federations. The report found that 146 medals — including 55 golds — in disciplines ranging from the 800 metres to the marathon at the Olympics and world championships were won by athletes who have recorded suspicious tests. The Sunday Times said that 10 medals at the 2012 London Olympics were won by athletes with suspicious results, and that in some finals every athlete in the medal positions had recorded a dubious blood test.

The International Olympic Committee has previously stripped medals from athletes who have been retroactively found guilty of doping offences dating back to the time of the games.

The IOC also stores Olympic doping samples for 10 years for possible retesting.

“We have full confidence in the inquiry by WADA,” Bach said. “If needed, we will follow suit ... and do everything to protect clean athletes.”

On a separate issue, Bach said water pollution will be among the topics for discussion when he travels to Rio de Janeiro for Wednesday’s one-year countdown to the 2016 Olympics.

An Associated Press investigation published last week revealed high counts of disease-causing viruses in the sewage-polluted waters where some Olympic competitions will take place. The IOC has since been advised by the World Health Organization that testing should be expanded to include viruses, not just bacteria.

“Doing the water tests is up to the Brazilian authorities,” Bach said.

“They have done so. We have been informed by them that they have done these tests in accordance with the guidelines of the World Health Organization and that they have the assurances from the WHO that there is no significant risk for the athletes.

Dan Dawson named Canada’s captain for indoor lacrosse championship

Jim Veltman was Canada’s captain in 2003 when six countries competed in southern Ontario centres. John Tavares was captain in 2007 when eight countries vied for the title in Halifax.

Colin Doyle was captain when eight countries again were entered in 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic.

Dawson, from Oakville, Ont., follows in their footsteps and into an expanded field of 13 countries.

The 2015 event will be the first international sporting event taking place on indigenous lands.

The Iroquois Nationals won silver at the three previous tournaments and will be pumped to finally take gold on their own turf.

There are but seven returnees from Canada’s 2011 squad: Dawson, Merrill, Matt Vinc, Kyle Rubisch, Brett Mydske, Shawn Evans and Stephan Leblanc.

Canada’s coaching staff returns virtually intact from 2011.

DOPING

BURNABY, B.C. — Canada would do just about anything for a victory in men’s rugby at the moment.

AJ MacGinty scored a drop goal in 80th minute Monday as the United States downed Canada 15-13 in the fifth-place game at the Pacific Nations Cup. The Canadians finished the six-team tournament with four losses, including back-to-back gut-wrenching results after Wednesday’s 21-20 defeat to Samoa that also saw the winning points come in the dying seconds.

“Another disappointing loss for us. We gave a full performance,” said Canadian captain Aaron Carpenter.

“We stopped playing a bit there. We let them come at us and played scared a little bit because we’ve lost a couple tight games in the last couple outings.”

MacGinty added a 4 for 4 performance on penalties for the Americans (2-2-0), who are ranked 16th in world.

Canadian substitute Nick Blevins scored the game’s only try in the 71st minute on a lung-busting run down the right-hand side that gave No. 18 Canada a 13-12 lead after Liam Underwood’s conversion before MacGinty snatched the victory for his team.

Canadian head coach Kieran Crowley has been attempting to implement new systems ahead of the Rugby World Cup in England, which begins on Sept.

18, and despite the losses, he’s encouraged by his team’s play over the last three weeks.

“We’ve built on everything as we’ve gone forward, but in the end we would have liked to get at least one result go our way,” said Crowley. “A couple (close) losses. You’ve got to win those games and we didn’t.

“There has been progress made, but it needs to get another step up.”

Canada is just 2-11 over its last 13 test matches dating back to November 2013, with the only victories coming over No. 21 Namibia and No. 29 Portugal. The losses include No. 9 Samoa (twice), No. 11 Scotland, No. 12 Tonga, No. 13 Japan (twice), No. 14 Georgia,

the U.S. (twice) and No. 17 Romania (twice). The record worsens when counting non-test losses to the New Zealand Maori and an English seconddivision all-star team.

Canada dropped a sloppy 20-6 loss Japan on July 18 to open the PNC, but played well for stretches of a 28-18 defeat to Tonga six days later before consecutive heartbreakers to Samoa and the U.S. “They’ve played all these teams tough and haven’t got results,” said former national team member and current Canadian program manager Gareth Rees. “I don’t have to state the obvious. We’ll do anything to get a result right now.”

Samoa met Fiji later Monday in the PNC final. Tonga beat Japan 31-20 in the tournament’s third-place game.

Canada went ahead 3-0 in the fourth minute on an Underwood penalty, but MacGinty nailed penalties in the 12th, 22nd, 26th and 32nd minutes to give the Americans a 12-3 lead at the half.

Underwood booted another penalty in the 45th minute after Carpenter broke through the middle on a nice run to make it 12-6, but couldn’t connect from a tough angle in the 56th that would have cut the deficit to just three.

Crowley made 12 changes to the squad that suited up against Samoa as he continues to get a long look at players ahead of naming his World Cup roster.

A couple veterans remain injury question marks ahead of the tournament, and usual Canadian captain Tyler Ardron missed Monday’s final Pacific Nations Cup match with a knee injury suffered in the loss to Samoa.

Canada now gets a bit of a break before its next World Cup warmup against the Americans on Aug. 22 in Ottawa. The Canadians will then meet Scottish club Glasgow Warriors in Halifax on Aug. 29.

“All of the teams are within a hair of each other,” said Carpenter. “We almost beat Samoa the other day and the U.S. today ... test matches revolve around small, little things.”

Things that Canada still needs to iron out.

Audible puck tricky to master

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘SOMETIMES EVEN IF THE PUCK IS IN FRONT OF YOU, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT’S TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT OF YOU BECAUSE OF THE REFLECTION OF THE NOISE. THAT’S A TRICKY ONE.’ — WAYNE ST. DENIS HOCKEY PLAYER

Materials also need to be pliable in order to minimize injuries, while still being durable enough to withstand blistering passes and hard impact with boards and goal posts.

And the sound the puck emits has to work whether it’s travelling down the ice, soaring through the air or at rest on the blue line.

“No electronic puck has ever worked,” Morrow said.

The original blind hockey puck, debuted in Montreal, was nothing more than a 1.4-litre apple juice can that was painted black for the benefit of those with some functional vision. That model proved cumbersome, since the

Baseball congress suspends use of batboys, batgirls after death

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WICHITA, Kan. — The National Baseball Congress has suspended using batboys and batgirls during its World Series games in Kansas following the death of a 9-year-old boy who was accidentally hit in the head with a bat during a game.

Kaiser Carlile died Sunday after he was hit by a follow-through swing near the on-deck circle during the Liberal Bee Jays’ game on Saturday. The boy was wearing a helmet, The Wichita Eagle reported (http://bit.ly/1VXdxW0 ).

The National Baseball Congress’ general manager, Kevin Jenks, said the decision to suspend the use of batboys and batgirls is “out of respect for the Bee Jays.” The organization is planning to honour the boy at games Monday and Tuesday.

Kaiser was a “kid, small in stature, who just wanted to be one of the guys,” said Mike Carlile, a member of the boy’s extended family and the Bee Jays’ general manager. He said Kaiser was eager to get to the ballpark every day and interact with the players, noting that they’d “kid each other, gig each other.”

Kaiser lived in Liberal, a city in southwest Kansas along the Oklahoma boarder.

The city of Wichita owns Lawrence-Dumont Stadium, where the accident took place, and is deciding whether to investigate. Ken Evans, the city’s strategic communications director, said it’s too early to decide.

“I think we’re all kind

of in shock at the moment with the rest of the community and focused on expressing our heartfelt sympathies for all the family and the friends, and the folks involved with the tournament,” Evans said.

On Saturday, home-plate umpire and longtime paramedic Mark Goldfeder treated Kaiser until an ambulance arrived. The boy was hospitalized in critical condition, but he died Sunday, Carlile said.

Kaiser’s parents met with the team’s players after their son died, and urged them to keep playing in the series, Carlile said.

“We just lost a little, 9-year-old Bee Jay and it’s incredibly sad,” Carlile said. “No one wrote us a book to tell us how to do this. We’re just dealing with it the best way we know how and that’s to keep coming out and keep honouring Kaiser on the field.”

The Liberal Bee Jays went on to win a game Sunday night, advancing the team to the semifinals.

cans would dent easily and had to be replaced up to eight times a game.

Different models have come and gone since then, with each of Canada’s three established visually impaired teams using different pucks at one point. Toronto’s Ice Owls, for instance, once played the game using a hollowed-out wheel from a barbecue filled with piano pins and ball bearings.

Wayne St. Denis, who has played on the team since 1996, said the design stayed in use for years, despite the fact that the bearings stopped rattling the moment the puck came to rest, making it difficult for totally blind or extremely low-vision players to locate it and resume play.

BRIEFS

Di Maria accepts 4-year deal with PSG PARIS — Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria will join Paris SaintGermain on a four-year deal to become the second most expensive player in the French league history.

A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Di Maria is expected in Paris later this week to sign the deal after undergoing a medical exam in Doha on Monday.

He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly about the deal before it is official. Manchester United has agreed to sell the Argentina winger for a fee that is “in the region of 63 million euros ($69 million)” the person said.

At PSG, the versatile Di Maria will be teaming up with Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani, who joined the Qatarifunded club for a reported fee of 64 million euros when PSG broke the

The puck needs to make a constant sound, St. Denis points out, adding that many electronic tones are not necessarily viable thanks to the complex acoustics inside an arena.

“Sometimes even if the puck is in front of you, it sounds like it’s to the left or the right of you because of the reflection of the noise,” he said.

“That’s a tricky one.”

Vieira and Pascual also found percussive shots and the hiss of skates on the ice were often enough to obscure the sound of buzzers or beeps.

Their solution, Vieira said, wasn’t as simple as pumping up the volume.

“We’re trying to go for a piercing noise that you can hear through the normal play instead of just trying to compete with volume,” he said. “To compete with volume, you’ll just never be able to pack enough power into the puck to project enough noise to be louder than a normal game and still keep the puck below weight.”

Vieira and Pascual had to go through two prototypes before settling on the design they’ll present in Boston. Previous incarnations were made of plastic that grew too brittle when exposed to the ice, contained circuit boards that fell apart upon impact with a stick, or featured speakers that didn’t project sound out towards the players and were also susceptible to damage during play.

The final product, produced in the 3D printing lab at Sheridan, consists of nylon top and bottom inserts surrounded by aluminum casing. The internal buzzers emit tones that Vieira likens to the sound of an alarm clock, and are powered by a nine-volt battery.

French transfer record in 2013.

The former Real Madrid midfielder joined United for 59.7 million pounds ($99 million) last summer as the most expensive signing in the history of British football, but he had an inconsistent season at Old Trafford.

Jays, Royals escalate feud by trading barbs on Twitter TORONTO — The Royals and Blue Jays have moved on: After an exchange of hit batters, they’re now trading barbs on Twitter.

First, Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista posted a message Sunday night saying he had “lost a lot of respect” for Ned Yost after hearing the Royals manager praise home plate umpire Jim Wolf’s handling of Sunday’s game.

Two Blue Jays batters were hit by pitches and reliever Aaron Sanchez was ejected for retaliating by hitting Kansas City infielder Alcides Escobar.

That prompted Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura to post Tweets calling Bautista a “nobody” and accuse him of stealing signs. Ventura later deleted the messages.

TORONTO — A pair of Ontario college students is facing a tough crowd as they try to design an audible hockey puck that can be used by visually impaired players.

And the international judges who vetted the product at a global engineering contest on Sunday aren’t even the harshest critics.

Those would be the players themselves, who say people have been designing pucks containing electronic noisemakers for decades and haven’t yet managed to create one that works well on the ice.

They say it’s proven difficult to find a puck that can be heard equally well while stationary or in motion, adding that ice temperatures and arena acoustics add further challenges.

The Sheridan College classmates, however, say those very issues prompted them to redesign their puck three times in the last five months. The pair took first place in the re-engineered products category at the IAM3D challenge in Boston.

The audible hockey puck was among 20 finalists for this year’s competition and was up against three other entries from fellow Sheridan students.

The team behind the project may seem an unlikely choice to spearhead the latest effort to develop a puck.

Ryan Vieira said he and his fellow student Kristoffer Pascual, who are both fully sighted, had little interest or familiarity with hockey when they took on the project. Nor were they influenced by the myriad previous designs that had fallen in and out of favour for at least the past 40 years.

“I was always into it for the challenge,” the 23-year-old said. “I had no design to work off. I was just given a basic shape and what it had to do.”

But requirements for the puck proved more complex than the team had anticipated, something previous other designers had learned the hard way.

Matt Morrow, executive director with Courage Canada — the blind hockey promotional organization — said sound is merely one factor.

The finished product needs to be both bigger and slower than a standard-issue puck, Morrow said, so that

STORY AND PHOTOS BY ASHLI BARRETT /ADVOCATE STAFF Stepping into Westerner Park this past weekend was like going back in time to an era where American muscle ruled the roads.

The 2015 edition of the Alberta SuperRun Association’s Rock’n Red Deer rolled into the city on July 27, 2015, bringing in 725 classic and custom cars and trucks, hot rods and auto-junkies from across the Prairies. Earlybird cruises to Gull Lake, the Royal Tyrell Museum, a replica ’50’s diner and other destinations happened throughout the week, while the main event kicked off Saturday morning with a two-day public showing at the park that attracted thousands of Red Deerians.

The tri-annual event celebrated the culture of the 1950s to the 1970s. Dr. D’s Canadian Bandstand provided the entertainment, while car appreciators browsed the cars and vendors. Children of all ages had a chance to participate in hoola hoop competitions, face painting and other activities. One of the biggest attractions of the week-long event, however, was the Downtown Cruise Nite. Red Deerians lined the sidewalks along Ross St. near City Hall and Veterans’ Park to get a closer look at a parade of classic cars that was even larger than the public showing itself. Those wanting to avoid the crowds downtown set up lawn chairs along Gaetz Ave. south to catch a glimpse of the cars as they made their way back to Westerner Park. Rock’n Red Deer has been in support of Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) since it began in 1997. Before this year’s event, more than $106,000 had been donated to the charity.

Canada still at trade table CAMPAIGN WON’T STOP TRANS-PACIFIC TRADE TALKS, HARPER SAYS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LAVAL, Que. — It’s a campaign promise of a different sort: Stephen Harper says he won’t let his marathon ballot battle keep Canada out of a massive international partnership billed as the backbone of future global trade in the Pacific Rim. Talks to establish the long-promised 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership will continue and Canada will be there, Harper promised — notwithstanding the protracted 11-week election campaign triggered by the prime minister himself.

The partnership, “should it be concluded, will

in our view form the fundamental trading network of the entire Asia-Pacific region,” he said during a campaign stop in Laval, Que., north of Montreal.

“It is important that Canada remain at the table; we will remain at the table during this election campaign ... and we will make sure that should there be a deal, we will get the best possible deal for this country.”

New Zealand officials told The Canadian Press last week that the talks likely wouldn’t wait until after the campaign — a sentiment echoed in media reports Monday by John Key, Harper’s New Zealand counterpart.

Taking questions on the first full day of the cam-

paign, Harper said negotiators would continue to defend Canadian interests, notably the country’s supply management system, which protects dairy producers.

Officials say last week’s talks in Hawaii came close to reaching a deal — indeed, sources said the Conservatives were hoping to make an agreement a central feature of the party’s campaign kickoff.

Canada had offered to allow more dairy imports, but the offers were far from what New Zealand and Australia were asking for, officials said. Dairy-market access was one of several sticking points at the 12-country negotiations.

Alberta urged to beef up dormant well program

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A program in Alberta to deal with thousands of dormant oil and gas wells that don’t meet safety and monitoring standards needs to be strengthened, critics say as falling crude prices could see their numbers swell.

Energy operators have brought about 3,600 wells in line with regulations as part of a compliance program the province launched in April. The Alberta Energy Regulator’s goal for the 2015-16 fiscal year is just under 5,500 wells.

While that shows that the organization is twothirds of its way to meeting its goal, that still leaves more than 22,100 wells that aren’t complying with rules that govern fencing, and testing for leaks, among other measures, said Carrie Rose, a spokeswoman for the regulator.

Rose said the program is meant to bring them into compliance over the next five years.

But Barry Robinson, the national program director for regions at Ecojustice, said in the meantime those wells could still contaminate the environment.

“In the worst-case scenario you can have a well that is venting something or leaking something and not being aware of it because you’ve never done the pressure testing that was required,” said Robinson.

Jason Unger, staff counsel at the Environmental Law Centre, said the regulator should explain why operators were allowed to have so many wells not complying with regulations in the first place.

A bigger problem is that the program doesn’t set deadlines for well closures, Unger added.

He said unreclaimed wells continue to impact the land and could affect property values, while an increase in the number of inactive wells means an overhang of liabilities for companies that may not be able to pay reclamation costs.

“It’s reliant on the operator to determine when to abandon them,” said Unger.

Concerns over inactive wells comes as the number of orphaned wells has swelled from 162 in March to more than 700.

Wells are orphaned when the company that owns them goes bankrupt or can’t be found. The wells then become the responsibility of the Orphaned Well Association, an industry-funded group that was set up to deal with them.

Brad Herald, a director of the association, says low oil prices have contributed to an increase in orphaned wells.

“We know that given the economic times, there’s probably more coming,” said Herald.

Despite an increase in the number of orphaned wells, Herald doesn’t think Alberta needs to set timelines for reclaiming old wells.

He said wells can be inactive for a variety of reasons, from waiting for the construction of a pipeline to holding on until prices recover.

But Robinson says the province should consider firm timelines for well reclamation like many U.S. states have, because many wells in Alberta have been sitting idle for years.

According to the Alberta Energy Regulator, of the roughly 77,000 inactive wells in the province, 18,000 haven’t been active for more than a decade.

“If there’s some good reason why the well’s been inactive for five years and needs to be inactive longer, well then the company should have to justify that,” said Robinson.

Last year, the Progressive Conservative government committed to reviewing well closure timelines.

A spokeswoman for Environment Minister Shannon Phillips said in an email that the current NDP government will look at strengthening existing programs to address inactive and orphaned wells.

Employees of the Athens Stock Exchange look at stock prices which are on display on a ticker screen in Athens, Greece, Monday. Greece’s main stock index plunged over 22 per cent as it reopened Monday after a five-week closure, giving investors their first opportunity since June to react to the country’s latest economic crisis.

Bloodbath on Greek stock market

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATHENS, Greece — Greece’s top companies lost billions in market value in a matter of minutes on Monday, when the stock exchange plunged upon reopening after a five-week closure and investors worried over a dramatic new drop in the economy.

The main stock index shed over 22 per cent soon after the open, as traders got their first opportunity since late June to react to the latest twists in the country’s economic drama.

The index closed 16.2 per cent lower, with bank shares hitting or nearing the daily trading limit of a 30 per cent loss.

“There’s a sense of panic,” said Evangelos Sioutis, financial analyst and head of equities at Guardian Trust. He noted some traders are selling stock merely to raise cash because there is so little liquidity in the Greek economy.

“There are no buyers,” he said. “The outlook is not clear.”

Markets in the rest of the world, however, were largely unaffected, a sign that investors outside Greece have now largely cut off ties with the country after years of crisis there. European shares closed higher.

Greece’s stock market and banks were closed on June 29, when the government put limits on money withdrawals and transfers to keep a run on the banks from bringing down the financial system. People were panicking over the prospect that the country could fall out of the euro after its talks creditors broke down.

Greece has since then resumed talks with creditors and reopened its banks. Strict limits on cash withdrawals remain, however.

Two surveys published Monday illustrate the extent of the damage wreaked on the Greek economy in July by the bank closures, money controls and general uncertainty over the country’s future.

Financial information company Markit said its gauge of manufacturing activity in Greece plummeted during the month to 30.2 points, its lowest ever reading, despite improvements across the rest of the 19-country eurozone.

“Manufacturing output collapsed in July as the debt crisis came to a head,” Markit economist Phil Smith said.

“Factories faced a record drop in new orders and were often unable to acquire the inputs they needed, particularly from abroad, as bank closures and capital restrictions badly hampered normal business activity.”

Meanwhile, a monthly survey of business and consumer confidence, the Economic Sentiment Indicator, fell for a fifth consecutive month in July to its worst level since October 2012.

Greece is currently in intense negotiations with bailout lenders to negotiate the terms of a massive new rescue package in the next two weeks.

The country needs to complete the talks and get more loans before Aug. 20, when it has to repay more than 3 billion euros to the European Central Bank.

Deputy Finance Minister Dimitris Mardas did not comment on reports that Athens could seek a shortterm loan to tide it over in case the talks have to be extended.

“The (negotiation) timetable is truly pressing ...

We are preparing for what has been agreed upon, correcting any gaps that may appear,” Mardas told private Skai television.

Negotiators from the European Union and International Monetary Fund are seeking faster cuts in early retirement plans set out by the government, and stricter conditions for a tax arrears payment program.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is facing opposition to the new bailout from within his left-wing Syriza party that could force him to call an early election in the fall.

Syriza dissenters are openly calling for a return to the drachma, but failed last week to force an emergency party conference before the bailout negotiations are completed.

“The government has to choose between a humiliating agreement to sign a third bailout, or abandon the agreements reached in Brussels and seek alternatives for a positive course out of this crisis,” former welfare minister and prominent dissenter Dimitris Stratoulis said over the weekend.

Obama unveils plan to dramatically cut power plant emissions

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Calling it a moral obligation, President Barack Obama unveiled the final version of his plan to dramatically cut emissions from U.S. power plants, as he warned anew that climate change will threaten future generations if left unchecked.

Touting the plan at a White House event on Monday, Obama said the unprecedented carbon dioxide limits are the “the single most important step” America has ever taken to fight climate change. He warned that because the problem is so large, if the world doesn’t get it right quickly, it may become impossible to reverse, leaving populations unable to adapt.

S&P / TSX Closed

TSX:V Closed

“There is such a thing as being too late when it comes to climate change,” Obama said.

Opponents immediately announced they would sue the government to stop the rules from taking effect. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, speaking at a summit of Republican state attorneys general, said West Virginia would be among a group of states “launching an aggressive legal campaign.”

“They’re legal foundation is very, very shaky,” Morrisey said of the Obama administration. “We are confident that we will prevail.”

The final version of Obama’s plan imposes stricter carbon dioxide limits on states than was previously expected: a 32 per cent cut by 2030, compared with 2005 levels, the White House said. Obama’s proposed version last year called only for a 30 per cent cut.

It also gives states an additional two years — until 2022 — to comply, yielding to complaints that the original deadline was too soon. States will also have an additional year to submit their implementation plans to Washington.

Obama was joined in the East Room by Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy and by parents of asthma patients. The Obama administration has sought to draw a connection between climate change and increased respiratory illness in vulnerable populations.

“This is an especially wicked-cool moment,” said McCarthy, wielding a colloquialism from her hometown of Boston.

Summer deals, demand keeps U.S. auto sales hot in July DETROIT — American drivers want to get noticed again.

SUVs and luxury vehicles are selling fast, defying recession-era predictions that Americans would downsize and stop flaunting their wealth. Luxury sales were up 10 per cent in the first six months of this year; in the same time period, mass-market vehicle sales rose just 3 per cent, according to car shopping site TrueCar.com.

That demand drove July’s strong U.S. vehicle sales. Sales of new cars and trucks were expected to rise 3 per cent to nearly 1.5 million.

General Motors and Fiat Chrysler both saw 6 per cent sales gains over last July, while Honda and Nissan saw 8 per cent gains. Ford’s U.S. sales rose 5 per cent. Volkswagen sales rose 2 per cent. Toyota’s sales were flat, hurt by a big dip in car sales.

Other automakers will report sales later Monday.

Automakers benefited from relatively low gas prices and surging sales of SUVs. Sales of Nissan’s new Rogue jumped 51 per cent, while sales of GM’s Buick Encore jumped 68 per cent.

Summer discounts to clear out 2015 models also lured buyers. Sales of midsize sedans have been struggling as Americans pass them over for small SUVs, so automakers enticed buyers with zero-per cent financing deals on the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima and other sedans. It worked. Altima sales rose 27 per cent and set a new July record.

ELECTION: Economy a central theme The Canadian economy remained a central theme of the Tory tour Monday.

At a factory in Laval, Harper unveiled his party’s first campaign promise: a Conservative government, he said, would allocate $60 million a year on increased and extended tax credits for businesses that hire would-be tradespeople.

The apprenticeship tax credit, he said, would help to deal with Canada’s long-standing skilled labour shortage.

The Conservatives would increase the maximum credit, first introduced in 2006, to $2,500 from $2,000, and also extend it to the third and fourth years of eligible apprenticeship training. The measure would deplete public coffers by $60 million a year, starting in 2016.

The economy as a whole, however, has struggled this year — it contracted over the first five months to the point some believe it was in recession.

During his news conference, at which journalists are limited to five questions with no opportunities for follow-up queries, Harper faced several queries about the state of the Canadian economy.

He was asked where he saw the country’s new economic growth coming from, given how household debt has been climbing, the energy sector has stumbled amid low oil prices and manufacturers haven’t picked up the slack.

Harper blamed the economy’s ills on “temporary” factors outside Canada’s borders and beyond its control — slow growth in the U.S. and problems in Europe and China.

He insisted the Tory plan of lower taxes, belttightening and striving for budgetary balance is working.

“That’s what we’re doing, that’s what all the analysts — credible analysts — in the world think we should be doing and now is not the time to get off that track,” Harper said.

D I “Prospects for growth L across the Canadian B economy — you talk to E the manufacturing sector, R they’re very positive. AnaT lysts are predicting good growth for this economy into the future as long as we stay on track.”

TRAVEL WITH The stop in Laval was Harper’s second in Quebec since the campaign “because we care” began, following his kickoff rally Sunday in MonPAY FOR 5 treal.

CASINO DAY TRIPS On Monday, he once - 6TH DAY TRIP IS FREE again urged Quebecers to support the Tories as a COWBOYS CASINO way to ensure they would have influence in Ottawa.

CALGARY Tues. Aug 11 Harper warned against the risk of electing anAPEX CASINO other batch of opposition ST. ALBERT MPs — and took particuTues. Sept 1 lar aim at Thomas Mulcair’s NDP, which holds GOLD EAGLE more than 50 seats in the CASINO province.

NORTH “This group of NDP BATTLEFORD MPs, during the last four Aug. 17-19 years, are the most ineffective group of any group MEDICINE HAT of MPs in history,” said CASINO Harper. “There’s not a Oct. 13-15 single star among Mulcair’s caucus in Quebec.”

Another big motivator: status. Luxury brands made up 11.5 per cent of vehicles purchased so far this year, up from 10.2 per cent three years ago, according to TrueCar. Audi saw its best July ever in the U.S., with sales up 21 per cent to more than 17,500 cars and SUVs. Lincoln’s sales jumped 21 per cent; the brand sold 785 Lincoln Navigator SUVs, or 25 per day, at more than $62,000 apiece. Acura and Infiniti sales both climbed 20 per cent.

Luxury brand sales have been growing faster than mass-market ones since 2013, but the pace is accelerating for several reasons, says Larry Dominique, TrueCar’s executive vice-president.

Luxury automakers are adding more models at lower prices, which is attracting new buyers. Mercedes’ CLA sedan, introduced in 2013, starts at $31,500, while Lexus has a new small SUV, the NX, that starts at $34,480. That’s within reach of younger buyers. Dominique said Millennials are now leasing luxury cars at a higher rate than other generations.

Dominique said that before the recession, when housing values were high, the industry believed luxury sales were inflated because people were borrowing against their home values. But that wasn’t the case. After the recession, luxury sales took off even before home values had recovered.

“People who buy luxury want luxury. It’s a cultural phenomenon,” Dominique said.

Increases in the stock market have fueled luxury sales. Low interest rates have also helped some luxury buyers lower their monthly lease or loan pay-

ments.

Here are more details, by automaker: ● GM’s sales rose 6 per cent to 272,512. Buick sales jumped 18 per cent, but Cadillac sales were down.

GMC and Chevrolet sales were up thanks to demand for trucks. Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck sales were up 34 per cent in July. ● Ford’s sales were up 5 per cent to 222,731. FSeries pickup sales, which had been down due to lack of inventory as a new truck went into production, were up 5 per cent. But Ford’s car sales fell 4 per cent. ● Toyota’s sales were up less than 1 per cent to 217,181. Sales of the Tacoma small pickup jumped 29 per cent, while Lexus SUV sales were up 28 per cent thanks to the new NX small SUV. But car sales were down. Prius hybrid sales dropped 13 per cent. ● Fiat Chrysler’s sales rose 6 per cent to 178,027.

Jeep sales increased 23 per cent and Ram sales rose 1 per cent, but Dodge and Fiat sales were down. ● Honda’s sales rose 8 per cent to 146,324. Honda’s SUV and truck sales jumped 13 per cent, led by the CR-V SUV and the Odyssey minivan. Honda’s car sales were up 3 per cent. ● Nissan’s sales rose nearly 8 per cent to 130,872.

Nissan said sales of its trucks and SUVs set a new July record, but low gas prices took a toll on the electric Nissan Leaf, which saw sales drop 61 per cent. ● Volkswagen’s sales rose 2.4 per cent to 31,300 vehicles. Sales of the new Golf and Jetta sedans more than doubled over last July.

That remark followed the pitch he made Sunday night to nationalists in Quebec, where his party only won five seats in 2011.

“For us Conservatives, Quebec nationalism — nationalism that does not lead to the impasse of separation — is not a threat,” Harper told the Montreal rally.

“It is the expression of a deep pride in our past and a solid trust in our future. And I ask you that in the next election to put this nationalism, this solidarity, at the service of a stronger Quebec at the heart of a government that’s solid, stable, national, majority and Conservative.”

Harper was scheduled to pay a visit to Kingston, Ont., later Monday, followed by an evening rally at a golf course in Ajax, east of Toronto — the former riding of his longtime finance minister, Jim Flaherty.

But things didn’t go smoothly. Mechanical problems with one of the Conservative campaign buses forced party staffers and journalists to switch vehicles in Laval before resuming the trip to Kingston.

Perhaps in a not-so-subtle counterpoint to the Conservative decision to rally in a Liberal garrison on Sunday night, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was scheduled to make an appearance Monday in Calgary, Harper’s longtime stronghold.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has no public events scheduled.

president’s plan.

The pollution controls form the core of Obama’s ambitious and controversial plan to drastically reduce overall U.S. emissions, as he works to secure a legacy on fighting global warming. Yet it will be up to Obama’s successor to implement his plan, which has attracted strong opposition from the field of Republican presidential candidates.

Power plants account for roughly one-third of all U.S. emissions of the heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming, making them the largest single source.

The Obama administration estimated the emissions limits will cost $8.4 billion annually by 2030.

The actual price won’t be clear until states decide how they’ll reach their targets. But energy industry advocates said the revision makes Obama’s mandate even more burdensome, costly and difficult to achieve.

Another key change to the initial proposal marks a major shift for Obama on natural gas, which the president has championed as a “bridge fuel” whose growing use can help the U.S. wean itself off dirtier coal power while ramping up renewable energy capacity. The final version aims to keep the share of natural gas in the nation’s power mix at current levels.

EMISSIONS: Issues headed to the courts As they prepared to sue the government, states and energy companies asked the EPA to put the rules on hold while legal challenges play out — a notion that White House press secretary Josh Earnest dismissed. In the absence of a voluntary delay, opponents planned to ask the courts to issue a stay.

Many Republican-led states have said their states simply won’t comply. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has encouraged GOP governors to take that step, vowed to use legislation to thwart the

U.S.-led strikes have killed at least 459 civilians

Jury in Colorado theatre shooting declines to rule out death penalty

BAGHDAD — U.S.-led airstrikes targeting the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria have likely killed at least 459 civilians over the past year, a report by an independent monitoring group said Monday.

The report by Airwars, a project aimed at tracking the international airstrikes targeting the extremists, said it believed 57 specific strikes killed civilians and caused 48 suspected “friendly fire” deaths. It said the strikes have killed more than 15,000 Islamic State militants.

While Airwars noted the difficulty of verifying information in territory held by the IS group, which has kidnapped and killed journalists and activists, other groups have reported similar casualties from the U.S.-led airstrikes.

“Almost all claims of noncombatant deaths from alleged coalition strikes emerge within 24 hours — with graphic images of reported victims often widely disseminated,” the report said.

“In this context, the present coalition policy of downplaying or denying all claims of noncombatant fatalities makes little sense, and risks handing (the) Islamic State (group) and other forces a powerful propaganda tool.”

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Jurors in the Colorado theatre shooting trial declined to rule out the death penalty Monday as they move toward sentencing James Holmes.

The decision clears the way for one last attempt from both sides to sway the jury with gripping testimony from victims about their harm and suffering as well as more appeals to show mercy to the man convicted of murdering 12 people and trying to kill 70 more.

Holmes, who is taking anti-psychotic drugs that dull his reactions, stood as ordered and appeared emotionless as the judge read the decisions. On all 24 murder counts carrying a potential death penalty — two for each of the 12 people slain — the jury found that aggravating factors outweighed mitigating factors.

With that, the jury was sent home and told to return Tuesday morning for the final phase. Then, the nine women and three men will finally decide whether the 27-year-old should receive a lethal injection, or spend life in prison without parole.

The same jury rejected the defence claim that mental illness so warped his mind that Holmes could not tell right from wrong when he carried out the theatre attack in the Denver suburb of Aurora on July 20, 2012.

In the first step of Colorado’s complicated death sentencing process, prosecutors then argued, and jurors agreed, that capital punishment could be appropriate because Holmes sprang a terrifying and cruel ambush on hundreds of unsuspecting victims.

In the second step, defence lawyers argued that mental illness nevertheless reduced Holmes’ “moral culpability,” and that his personal history made him worthy of mercy. They said it was schizophrenia not free will that drove Holmes to murder.

Jurors deliberated for less than three hours Thursday and Monday before deciding that his mental problems and the appealing portrait of a younger, kinder man did not outweigh the horrors of the calculated attack on

House Republicans say they have the votes to disapprove of Iran deal WASHINGTON — House Republicans said Monday that they have the party votes to disapprove of the Iran nuclear deal as Democrats stepped up their support of the agreement the Obama administration and other world powers negotiated with Tehran.

“Time is not the friend of this deal,” Roskam said in a statement. “The more time members spend evaluating this agreement, the more they realize it’s an historic mistake.”

Two new cases of Ebola surfaced in Sierra Leone’s Northern Tonkolili District after a man died last week.

The district had not had a single case of Ebola in five months. The victim contracted the disease in the capital, travelled to his home village, and was

treated for a fever at the local hospital but authorities didn’t call the Ebola emergency number. He didn’t have a burial that followed special procedures required for Ebola victims.

The man’s mother and brother contracted Ebola, the National Ebola Response Centre’s OB Sisay said Sunday.

Authorities moved quickly to contain the spread, but more cases are feared, he said. Authorities quarantined 500 people.

“We now know where the virus is and we are tracking its movement, by surrounding, containing and eradicating its last remaining chain of transmission,” Sisay said.

Dr. Thomas Frieden, CDC director, said it was important that the case was identified and not missed, and he was impressed with the speed of the response.

“The challenge now is to get to zero cases and that is not going to be easy,” he said. “Authorities must not let down their guard. The country should keep its guard up.”

He said a new cluster of cases in an area of Freetown means Sierra Leone must still put in place measures that have worked in the past.

Obama would need 34 members of the Senate or 146 members of the House to stand with him.

On Monday, Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff and Anna Eshoo joined an expanding list of representatives who have announced their support of the international accord.

Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said the deal “realistically precludes Iran from developing an atomic bomb” for at least 15 years.

Congress is engaged in a 60-day review of the deal, and Schiff’s decision to back the agreement is a boost for Obama.

Eshoo said her decision was not based on trusting Iran. “To the contrary,” she said, “the regime has a long list of offences that I deeply object to, but there must be a mechanism in place to keep them from becoming a nuclear power.”

BRIEF Dungeons & Dragons film franchise in development LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dungeons & Dragons is coming to the big screen.

The studio announced Monday that the popular fantasy role playing game is being developed as a feature film franchise at Warner Bros.

David Leslie Johnson, who wrote The Conjuring 2 and Wrath of the Titans has already written a screenplay.

Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production at Warner Bros. said that there are â&#x20AC;&#x153;endless creative possibilitiesâ&#x20AC;? to explore in the fantastical world of the Forgotten Realms.

No other details have been confirmed about the production.

The announcement also signals the

resolution of a lawsuit concerning a dispute over the Dungeons & Dragons property. The films will be a joint production between Warner Bros., Hasbroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Allspark Pictures and Sweetpea Entertainment with The Lego Movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roy Lee attached as a producer.

Country singer Brett Eldredge selected to judge Miss America pageant ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Country singer Brett Eldredge is the first of seven judges to be announced for ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live broadcast of the 2016 Miss America competition.

The reigning Country Music Association new artist of the year said the upcoming gig was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a dream come true.â&#x20AC;?

Additional hosts and judges for the competition will be announced in the coming weeks. Fifty-two women representing their home states and territories will be competing in the Sept. 13 pageant, which will be held at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Ya singer will be releas-

Live, though without success. But his comic muse has served him since, like during staff powwows where prospective shows, and the wacky titles for them, are cooked up. He counts Wives With Knives, a title as self-explanatory as it is euphonious, among his creations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do the titles with a wink,â&#x20AC;?

Schleiff says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marketing, showmanship â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we do anything, including those titles, to bring attention to our programming.â&#x20AC;?

Concepts for series come from the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development team as well as from the stable of independent producers tapped to make the shows.

What results are constantly replenished variations on a theme, with many ID series drawing from a shared pool of conventions: a victim and a perpetrator (often bonded by blood, marriage or raw passion); on-camera testimony from friends and family, law enforcement officials, maybe a psychologist, and a journalist who covered the story.

There are dramatizations, whose characters may closely resemble their real-life counterparts or, strangely, bear scant resemblance. It can go either way.

And most of the shows boast overheated narration, such as with the close-knit family whose â&#x20AC;&#x153;fabric will soon be torn under the strain of sex, lies and extraordinary allegations.â&#x20AC;?

And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the teenage girl who may have gone too far with her boyfriend: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There could be hell to pay if Ashleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spreading more than her wings.â&#x20AC;?

1960s British singing star dies at 72 LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police say big-voiced British singer and TV host Cilla Black has died aged 72.

Spanish police said Sunday that the singer, who had a home in Estepona, southern Spain, died Saturday.

Born Priscilla White, Black worked as a teenager in the cloakroom of Liverpoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cavern Club, where her musical talent was spotted by The Beatles.

Signed by the Fab Fourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager, Brian Epstein, she had a string of 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s hits, including Anyone Who Had a Heart and Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re My World. Famous enough to be known by her first name alone, Black had a BBC variety show, Cilla, in the late 1960s and early 70s. She enjoyed a second round of fame in the 1980s and 90s as host of the TV game show Blind Date.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The stakes may be high for Ethan Hunt and his team in Mission: Impossible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rogue Nation, but it was hardly impossible for the Tom Cruise pic to conquer the box office.

The fifth installment in the nearly 20-year-old film series has earned $56 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Opening weekend audiences were 62 per cent male and 81 per cent over the age of 25.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second-highest opening for a Mission film since Mission Impossible II took in $57.8 million over Memorial Day weekend in 2000. Rentrakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian said Cruise is to credit for making these films one of the longest-running viable franchises on the market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He created a new Tom Cruise in the minds of audiences. He came off as very approachable, funny, he did the lip synching with Jimmy Fallon. This is the playbook on how a star â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who is also a producer on the movie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gets the word out about his movie,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a marketing machine.â&#x20AC;?

The Paramount and Skydance Productions film from writer-director Christopher McQuarrie cost a reported $150 million to produce and should have no problem making up its budget, especially with overseas earnings.

Besides generating some of the best reviews in the series, Rogue Nation was bumped up on the release schedule from Christmas to summer somewhat last minute â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even though they were still shooting the movie well into the spring.

Megan Colligan, Paramountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president of worldwide distribution and marketing, said that made advance marketing a challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to be precise in what we were doing and take some chances and live a little outside the box. We knew how good the movie was,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Some of those unconventional choices included screening the movie before it was finished.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Vacation, went a bit off track. The $30 million film earned $14.9 million over the weekend and $21.2 million since opening Wednesday. Starring Ed Helms and Christina Applegate, the R-rated film was imagined as a continuation of the 1983 road trip comedy National Lampoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vacation when a now grown Rusty Griswold (Helms) takes his family to Wally World.

TRUEMAN Glen 1950 - 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Glen Richard Trueman at the Red Deer Hospital just after midnight, as he predicted, on Tuesday, July 29, 2015. Born in Edmonton, Alberta on May 31, 1950, he was the youngest son of Leonard and Wanda Trueman and grew up on a farm just outside of Edmonton and in the City of Edmonton with his brother’s Sid and Daryl and sister Myrna. Glen thrived in business or work when he could connect with people and “seal a good deal” which made everyone feel they were winners, at least in that moment. Whether it was taking a trade-in of longhorn cattle or pigs on a new truck at his Ford Dealership in Hanna or selling a farm in northern Alberta, it was meeting and getting to know the people that mattered.

Family, life-long friends, new friends and neighbours were most important to him. Glen was happiest as a host, planning get-together’s, adventures and he always had food and drink in the house “in case anyone drops by”. Glen’s sense of humour made every day memorable with an occasional unexpected twist. He was thoughtful, generous, courageous, genuine and eager to learn and do one new project or plan for the next one. We know that Glen is now fishing with his Dad again, teasing his Mom or teeing up for another round of golf with his old buddies, meeting new people and “getting things ready for when the rest of you come”.

As per Glen’s wishes no funeral service will be held.

We celebrated his life and shared stories with friends and family while he was here. Many thanks to Dr. Conradie and the medical teams on units 22 and 32 who demonstrated respect and care for Glen and Ann these past few months.

Heartfelt appreciation to the family, friends and neighbours who supported us both, and a special thanks to Erica who made it possible for him to return home two years ago and live life as fully as possible, and to our Colleen who supported us with wisdom and compassion to the very end. Donations in Glen’s memory may be made directly to the charity of the donor’s choice. Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.reddeerfuneralhome.com.

THOMAS Annie Martha Thomas passed away on July 23, 2015 in the Long Term Care unit of the Rimbey Hospital at the age of 97 years.

Ann was born in Enchant, Alberta, in 1918. She is survived by 5 sons: Percy (Marilyn) of Winnipeg, Phil (Eleanor) of Blackfalds, Doug of Coronation, Harry (Donna) of Eckville, and Mike (Deb) of Sylvan Lake. She is also survived by sisters Margaret (Ted) Chalmers of Lethbridge and Doris Van Volsem of Chestermere. Ann also leaves to mourn daughter-in-law Gwen (Ron) Ferrie of Kelowna as well as 16 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Ann was predeceased by Percy, her husband of 71 years, in 2009, an infant son in 1938, son Tommy in 1993, and granddaughters Charity (1995) and Nicole (2012). Ann was born the fifth of nine children to Jacob and Martha Tolonen.

The family moved from Enchant to the Reed Ranch at Olds and then to Three Hills so that Jacob could find work to support his growing family. Martha passed away after giving birth to twins, leaving Jacob to care for his large family. The newborn twins were then adopted out while Ann, at the age of ten, was sent to live with foster parents, Lena and Victor Matson of the Sylvan Lake area. After completing grade eight at the rural Boyle School, Ann worked at various places in Sylvan Lake, Calgary and Eckville. She met Percy, who became her life-long husband and companion, while working for the Thomas family on their farm north of Eckville, They were married on Dec 21, 1937 in Rocky Mountain House and moved to a farm in the Leedale area. In 1946, they sold the Leedale property and briefly operated the A&B restaurant in Rimbey. In November 1946 they purchased and returned to Harry and Nettie Thomas’s farm. They retired from farming in 1974 after selling the farm to their son Tom. They then moved briefly to Salmon Arm BC before building a house in the Sicamous area. They lived there until moving back to Eckville in 1994. In 2003 Ann and Percy moved into the Eckville Manor where Ann resided until February of 2015 when failing health resulted in a move to Rimbey. While living in Sicamous, Ann and Percy enjoyed most of their winters in Arizona, California and Mexico. Ann was known for the beautiful paintings that she created later in life. Her proudest moment was presenting a painting of two cougar cubs to the Lieutenant-Governor Normie Kwong, on behalf of the Lacombe Foundation, at a ceremony in Lacombe. She was also known for her love of flowers and gardening, which culminated in a large and elaborate flower and rock garden on the Eckville farm. The family would like to take this opportunity to thank the staffs at the Eckville Manor, Northcott Center in Ponoka, and the Long Term Care Unit of the Rimbey Hospital, for their wonderful care and support.

Donations in Ann’s memory should be given to one of these institutions. A celebration of Ann’s life will be held Monday, August 10th at the Gilby Community Center at 2:00 PM. Sylvan Lake Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.

Whale appears in docks of exclusive neighbourhood in Buenos Aires

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A whale appeared in the marina of one of Buenos Aires’ most exclusive neighbourhoods Monday, periodically surfacing alongside luxury yachts while hundreds of onlookers tried to capture the moment with smartphones.

The whale first surfaced in the early afternoon in Puerto Madero, an upscale area of towering office buildings and high-end lofts. In the middle of the area is a body of water the size of a few square blocks where many residents keep boats.

News of the whale quickly spread on social media and was broadcast live by local stations, prompting hundreds to line up along the port area to catch a glimpse.

“We were at home having lunch when we saw it on the news and said, ’We have to see this for ourselves,”’ said Rosana Saavedra, a teacher who came with her husband and teenage daughter. “We were so curious. What is this whale doing here?”

Puerto Madero was built in the late 19th century to better accommodate an increasing number of ships coming into Buenos Aires, one of South America’s largest port cities. After decades of decay, it was transformed by a major urbanization project in the 1990s and today is one of the city’s trendiest districts.

Authorities had not identified the type of whale, and it was unclear how they would get it back to the ocean. A port police boat was seen going up and down the waterway, apparently trying to lure the animal to the connecting Rio de la Plata river, which feeds into the Atlantic.

MIAMI — Authorities say 24 Cuban migrants have landed in the Florida Keys. Key West police say the 23 men and one woman reached shore around 4 a.m.

Monday. The Miami Herald reports that the group made the 145-kilometre journey on a tiny makeshift boat named Mariana. Police say some of them were treated for exposure to diesel fuel, but they were all otherwise healthy. Because of the U.S.’s “wet foot, dry foot” policy, all of the migrants, with the exception of those with criminal backgrounds, will be allowed to stay in the U.S. and pursue residency.

LANCASTER, N.H. — Authorities say a circus tent collapsed when a severe storm raked a New Hampshire fairground, killing two people and injuring 15 others. WMUR-TV reports that state Department of Safety spokesman Michael Todd confirmed the fatalities Monday night.

The accident happened Monday evening at the Lancaster fairgrounds, about 90 miles north of the state capital in Concord. State police say it’s unclear exactly how many people were hurt. A Lancaster police dispatcher says the tent collapsed during a circus performance. Gov. Maggie Hassan says state officials are monitoring the situation. The National Weather Service had issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the area during the time of the collapse.

Police at the scene declined to answer questions.

Calls to the Puerto Madero police headquarters were not answered.

Within a few hours, the normally sedate quarter with pricey coffee and pastry shops had a carnival feel as vendors sold cotton candy and soda and families with small children kept an eye out for the whale.

Each time the whale surfaced, people in the crowd gawked and rapid-fire clicks of cameras pierced the air. Many Argentines, known for their quick wit and humour, were ready with jokes.

Irene Fernandez, who owns a condo a block from the water, said she was surprised by the crowd when she came out for her afternoon walk. She asked a police officer what was happening and was told a whale had appeared.

“I always see whales walking around here,” she said, making a play on the word “ballena” in Spanish, which Argentines sometimes use to refer to politicians and people who are portly.

Still, there was also worry about what might happen to the creature.

“It’s really said,” said Daniela Ritta, who works at a bank around the corner from the marina and went with colleagues to have a look. “This is not its natural habitat. The poor whale is clearly lost.”

Mariano Sironi, scientific director of the Whale Conservation Institute in Argentina, initially said the animal appeared to be a minke or a humpback whale. But later, after viewing video and talking with a colleague, he said he thinks it is a humpback.

Sironi said whales sometimes get disoriented and swim upstream in rivers.

Rebels ready for return to all-out conflict

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LICE, Turkey — The military helicopters swooped in over the Kurdish heartland and dropped white incendiary powder on a raging brush fire — igniting a massive conflagration that raced through the mountains, devouring orchards and livestock. For Kurds living in nearby Lice, the recent Turkish operation brought back memories of the traumatic days in the 1990s when the army twice burned the town to the ground. The military may have been trying to smoke out Kurdish militants, who had allegedly set off a car bomb near Lice killing a soldier and wounding four more. But locals in Lice, where the rebels have widespread support, see a more sinister motive: “Just like the old days,” said local journalist Metin Bekiroglu, “they want to spread fear.”

In an abrupt reversal, Turkey and the Kurdish rebels appear to be hurtling toward the return of an all-out conflict that plagued the nation for decades, before a fragile peace process was launched in 2012. A truce that has helped bring social and economic stability to Turkey evaporated only one week into the government’s new offensive against the militant Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which stretches from southeastern Turkey to northern Iraq. Old habits of militancy, killing and retaliation are returning to a region that until recently harboured hopes of joining mainstream Turkish life. Forest firebombing is not the only provocative method Turkey is using to put pressure on the Kurds. In nearby Diyarbakir, the spiritual capital of Turkish Kurds, fighter jets are taking off for dozens of sorties to hit PKK strongholds in northern Iraq. The planes screech over the city as if to send a threat of destruction. Many Diyarbakir residents have relatives in the mountains among the Kurdish targets.

“The message we hear from the jets is: ’We are in your heart and we will destroy your heart and your freedoms,”’ said Adnan Seyit, who runs a cafe overlooking the Tigris river in Diyarbakir. He said that Kurds have been surprised at the swiftness of the air mobilization — and that it is being executed in such a massive way. Turkish military authorities did not immediately respond to questions about its air campaign.

Around Lice — a highly contested

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mourners carry the Turkish flag-draped coffin of Turkish soldier Mansur Cengiz, 21, killed in an attack by Kurdish rebels on Sunday, as hundreds follow the funeral ceremony in his hometown near the city of Siirt, southeastern Turkey, Monday.

Militants of Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, detonated an explosives-laden agricultural vehicle at a military police station in eastern Turkey, killing two soldiers and wounding 31 others, authorities said, amid a sharp escalation of violence between the government forces and the autonomy-seeking insurgents. prize at the height of the conflict — the new cycle of violence was triggered last week when Kurdish militants kidnapped a policeman in the area and hit the military convoy with a car bomb.

Many Kurdish politicians accuse Erdogan of escalating the tensions to undermine the main Kurdish political party after its election success in June parliamentary elections. They say Erdogan is hoping to tarnish the Kurdish party, widely considered to be the political arm of the PKK, so that he can win back his party’s parliamentary majority in a possible repeat election in November.

The conflict escalated after a suicide attack in a crowd in the town of Suruc along the Syrian border. Turkish authorities say the bomber was trained by the Islamic State group and was targeting a group seeking to help Syrian Kurds across the border rebuild the city of Kobani, which IS had destroyed.

But many Turkish Kurds accused the

government of responsibility for the explosion, which killed more than 30 people.

Days later, as the government prepared airstrikes against the Islamic State group, two policemen were killed in an apparent PKK attack in a southeastern town, prompting the government to retaliate against the Kurdish rebels with airstrikes. Turkish authorities also began a nationwide terror sweep netting more than 1,300 Islamic State, Kurdish and leftist terrorist suspects. Yet the vast majority had affiliation with the PKK, which Turkey and the United States consider a terrorist organization. That prompted the Kurds to claim that Turkey’s moves against IS were really a pretext to crack down on the Kurdish rebels.

Government officials countered that leaders simply moved decisively to protect the public at a precarious moment, in which both IS and the PKK — sworn enemies of each other — had

mobilized simultaneously in Turkey.

Whatever the original motivations, the government’s attention has turned single-mindedly to the PKK. Kurdish politicians and analysts say the airstrikes against Kurdish positions in northern Iraq are more extensive than at the height of the conflict that left thousands dead from guerrilla warfare and terrorists attacks.

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency recently claimed that some 260 rebels had been killed in the air raids against PKK targets in Iraq, while the PKK charges that there have also been extensive civilian casualties. Many Turks fear that the peace process — which seemed on the verge of being clinched — is now dead.

The forests near Lice were still smouldering on Friday. Military convoys passed along the main road, and soldiers manned checkpoints in areas that the PKK had controlled earlier in the week.

UN member states set goal to end poverty, hunger in next 15 years

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The 193 member states of the United Nations have reached agreement on a new development agenda for the next 15 years that calls for eradicating poverty and hunger, achieving gender equality, improving living standards and taking urgent action to combat climate change.

The draft agreement reached Sunday evening outlines 17 goals with 169 specific targets on issues ranging from ending poverty “in all its forms everywhere” to ensuring quality education and affordable and reliable energy, and protecting the environment.

“We can be the first generation that ends global poverty, and the last generation to prevent the worst impacts of global warming before it is too late,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters Monday.

The document — called “Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” — will be adopted at a UN summit just before the annual meeting of world leaders at the General Assembly in late September.

More than 160 world leaders are on the provisional speakers list for the three-day summit starting Sept. 25 which was released Monday including the presidents of China, Russia, Iran and France.

Ban said “the goals represent a ’todo’ list for people and the planet.”

“They address the requirements for all humanity to be able to live decent lives free from poverty, hunger and inequality,” he said.

“They commit all of us to be responsible global citizens, caring for the less fortunate as well as for our planet’s ecosystems and climate action on which all life depends.”

The 17 new, non-binding goals will succeed the eight Millennium Development Goals adopted by world leaders 15 years ago.

Elaine Geyer-Allely, who monitored the UN negotiations for WWF, the world’s largest independent conservation organization, said the new plan is a significant improvement because it recognizes that protecting the environment, eradicating poverty and promoting economic growth and well-being are interlinked.

Amina Mohammed, the U.N. special advisor on the post-2015 agenda, said more than 8,000 people engaged in setting the new goals, including for the first time representatives from hundreds of organizations, business, parliaments and youth in addition to

government officials.

In his final report last month on the Millennium Development Goals, Ban said the effort has helped lift more than one billion people out of extreme poverty over the last 15 years, enabled more girls to go to school than ever before, and brought unprecedented results in fighting diseases such as HIV/AIDS. Despite significant progress on all the MDGs, the only original goal that was achieved ahead of time was cutting in half the number of people living in extreme poverty, and that was due primarily to economic growth in China.

Ban stressed inequality remains, with 80 per cent of the people living on less than $1.25 a day located in southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, and 60 per cent in just five countries, India, Nigeria, China, Bangladesh and Congo.

Agreement on the new goals is the culmination of more than three years of intense and complex negotiations.

Sticking points in the negotiations, which were supposed to be completed Friday, included differences over references to good governance, reproductive rights for women and occupied territories — and on how to refer to climate change ahead of the December summit in Paris which will hopefully adopt a legally binding climate agreement to keep global warming from reaching dangerous levels.

Two key issues are cost and implementation.

Kenya’s UN Ambassador Macharia Kamau, one of the facilitators of the negotiations, said implementing the goals will cost between $3.5 trillion and $5 trillion every year, which he insisted is “not unattainable” because most money will come from domestic resources raised in countries, complemented by international development assistance.

“There is no reason why we can’t see remarkable transformation,” he said.

Ireland’s UN Ambassador David Donoghue, the other facilitator, said that even though the goals are political “don’t underestimate the impact on governments” which will be subject to peer pressure and regular monitoring on implementation.

“They do represent a new way of doing business,” he said. “It is highly significant.”

Spit-roasted pig or How parents can movie in the park discuss Jenner I wasn’t a planner before kids and I’m not a planner now. I prefer to see where the day takes us and leave out the heavy scheduling and rigid preparation of things. With that said however we do pander to a couple of pretty set in stone routines. Like our bedtime practice (perhaps not always at the same time) but always teeth, PJ’s and then a bedtime story. And then there is breakfast. This meal always falls between 7 and 8 o’clock in the morning — almost immediately after opening their eyes — and unquestionably consisting of cereal and their choice of fruit. I’m sure it is quite literally their favorite meal of the day.

Now you wouldn’t think that one family member’s absence would throw a big ole wrench into our seemingly simple way of things … Well, think again.

Jamie had offered to cook his famous pig on a spit for a wedding this last weekend. He asked if the kids and I wanted to come along as his souschefs and as tempting as the prospect was, there happened to be a plethora of festivities going on in town that I thought the kids would enjoy so we decided to take a rain check.

We are pretty spoiled when it comes to Jamie being around, he is usually home for dinner every night and the last time he was away for more than a 24 hour span was last year when he went to England to visit his grandfather for a week. So even I was feeling a little apprehensive of his departure.

But nevertheless we all kissed him goodbye and wished him luck with the pig.

There were only a few tears shed as they watched Daddy drive away but all was forgotten when I reminded them about the activity we were about to embark on that evening.

An outdoor movie in the park. ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ was playing in a park only a hop skip and a jump away from our house. So I called up my friend Jen to see if her and her son would like to join us. Of course she was onboard (don’t you love those friends who are always up for just about anything) and soon after we headed down to the park.

Upon arrival we found booths that were selling all sorts of yummy treats, spin-a-wheel for small prizes and even a bouncy house! The kids were ecstatic.

What neither Jen nor I had thought about was that the movie wouldn’t actually begin until dusk as it had to be dark enough to see the projector on the big screen. Yes the film was great

and yes the kids had a blast.

But as we traversed home in the pitch black and Sophie let out deafening screams over every cricket chirp or leaf rustling in the wind I considered whether it was a wise idea LINDSAY to come without BROWN Jamie. But then again driving ME PLUS THREE there may have been a better choice too.

As we finally darkened our own door Sophie was a nervous wreck. It was possible that this was the latest her and Lars had ever been out and about in their lives so needless to say the bedtime routine flew straight out the window and they crashed on their pillows immediately upon seeing them.

Our morning custom was a bust too. We all slept till nine then the kids crawled into bed with me and we watched a movie.

None of us even walked into the kitchen until 11am.

It was Slide the City in Sylvan Lake and the kids and I wanted to walk down to watch. The downtown area was packed, but a feeling of good tidings and community floated through the muggy air. We indulged in some ice-cream and more sugary goodies and ran into a few old friends along the way.

It was a long day of walking but a lovely day nevertheless. One of those days that make you feel good about living in such a tight knit community.

However by the time we arrived home Sophie was wrung out. It had been a long couple of days for the four year old and there was no denying that after the unpleasant tantrum she threw over dinner. Apparently, according to her, all of our activities over the weekend had been for naught as she didn’t have any fun anyways. I didn’t take this news too hard though since I took quite a few pictures that would state otherwise.

Jamie arrived home the following morning and we were all happy to see him. Sometimes it’s nice to break away from the usual routines of life (even if you only have a few) but it is always good to get back in the swing of things.

story with kids Q: How do I talk to my young children about the whole Bruce Jenner situation? These are things I’d prefer that they not be exposed to, but with the story being mentioned or discussed on practically every TV show and plastered on every magazine in the grocery store checkout line, it’s impossible to avoid.

Jim: I’m right there with you. It’s tougher and tougher to be a good and informed parent these days, isn’t it?

As a father of two rapidly maturing boys, what I wouldn’t give for a softball question like, “Hey, Dad, where do babies come from?” Instead, we Moms and Dads are now fielding questions like, “What does transgender mean?” or, “Why is that man dressed like a woman?”

The truth is, these are questions most of us are unprepared to answer simply because we never dreamed we’d have to. Yet transgender issues are not only becoming more mainstream, but, as you’ve experienced, now dominate much of our popular culture.

On top of this, many children are encountering transgender topics in their schools. More and more we are seeing a growing acceptance and encouragement of transgendered children in schools — in some cases involving those as young as age 5. Teachers might also be broaching the subject in class.

A neighbor of one of our staff was recently asked by her first-grade son, “Mommy, will I be a man or a woman when I grow up? My teacher said I could choose.”

You can find help to answer these challenging questions with a free online resource from Focus on the Family. “Talking to Your Children About Transgender Issues” (focusonthefamily.com/socialissues/sexuality/talkingto-your-children-about-transgender-issues) will help Moms and Dads explain this complex matter in a thoughtful and age-appropriate way. Additional resources are also available by calling us at 1-800-A-FAMILY. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Q: My fiancee and I are having a disagreement. Her family abstains from alcohol because of a past history of abuse, but my family enjoys drinking in moderation. She’s asked me to give up alcohol completely in order to make her family happy. If I compromise on this issue, what else might they ask

me to do? What advice can you give me?

Greg Smalley, Vice President, Family Ministries: You’ve raised an important question -one that really has little to do with alcohol, and much to do with deeper isJIM sues like power, DALY control, humility, selfishness, sacrifice, marital independence, healthy boundaries and loving others. Regardless of where folks stand on the ethics of alcohol consumption, I’d suggest the more pertinent matter to consider is whether we allow any part of life (alcohol or anything else) to consume us.

The first thing I’d advise is to sort out what’s actually going on: Is this a demand your fiancee’s family is trying to impose on both of you? Or is it an independent request that she is making?

If it’s the former, or if your fiancee is asking out of a need to please her family, you may be encountering some unhealthy control dynamics that you’ll need to confront (possibly with the help of a counselor), no matter what you decide about alcohol.

If, on the other hand, your betrothed is simply concerned for her family’s well-being, you’ll need to ask yourself how willing you are to sacrifice your own pleasures in order to demonstrate your love to your future wife. After all, this is what marriage is all about.

Keep in mind that the solution here needn’t be an all-or-nothing proposition.

A reasonable approach you and your fiancee might consider would be for you to respectfully forgo alcohol when you’re with the in-laws, while enjoying an occasional drink when they’re not around. This represents a win-win for everybody.

Feds to ban microbeads in personal care items

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The federal government says it’s developing regulations to ban the use plastic microbeads in personal care products.

Microbeads are small particles that are used in a range of personal care products such as body scrubs and toothpaste.

Officials say a scientific review that included an analysis of more than 130 scientific papers, as well as consultations with experts, has revealed that the presence of microbeads in the environment may have long-term effects on biological diversity and ecosystems.

Labour Minister Kellie Leitch says the govern-

ment plans to add microbeads to the list of toxic substances under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, and intends to develop regulations banning the manufacture, import, and sale of microbead-containing personal care products.

The New Democrats introduced a motion in March calling for a ban on plastic microbeads, and NDP MP Megan Leslie pointed to McGill University research that discovered alarming quantities of microbeads in the St. Lawrence River last year.

Ecojustice executive director Devon Page says the environmental group is pleased to see the federal government responding to mounting public concern over the continued use of microbeads and their impact on Canada’s rivers, lakes and streams.

“We look forward to the swift introduction of

regulations that will bring this ban into force,” Page said Friday in a release. When products containing microbeads are used and rinsed down the drain, the tiny plastic microbeads are too small to be caught by wastewater treatment facilities and go directly into lakes, rivers and streams. Scientists have found millions of microbeads in parts of the Great Lakes, with the highest concentrations occurring near urban areas. Studies have estimated that microbeads make up 20 per cent of plastic pollution in the Great Lakes.

Microbeads can then absorb dangerous pollutants — such as PCBs — that are already present in the marine environment. When fish, birds and other wildlife eat these plastics, the harmful pollutants accumulate and eventually contaminate the fish and other wildlife species consumed by humans.

Approaching life as though you were writing a story “I’m a minor player in my own life story.”

– Tony Wilson, English radio personality and journalist for the BBC “And then,” said Giselle, “I stood up and I yelled, ‘That’s enough!’”

I turned to my buddy sitting next to me. “That’s not quite how I remember it.”

“Yeah,” he said. “Her stories should have a disclaimer: loosely based on actual events.”

Giselle practised a style of storytelling I call reconstructing the past – changing the people, places and events to make them more in keeping with what she wished had happened. It did make for entertaining storytelling and perhaps for Giselle it also made the past less painful.

We all love a well-told story. It remains one of the best ways to impart information and life lessons.

And it’s interesting to note how well we can often relate to each other’s stories. There is power and a connectedness in our shared humanity. In my experience, too many people tell stories infused with negativity, anger or regret. Often the protagonist will make such statements as, “I’m not good enough,” “It’s never good enough,” or “No one will ever love me.”

We have the choice each day of continuing our story as we’ve written it or choosing to alter the plot, to create a story and a life that is more fulfilling and rewarding. I’m not recommending that you deconstruct/reconstruct your story that is already written.

There is great benefit in seeing the past with honest, open eyes. It is how the story continues that we might want to alter, perhaps in surprising or unpredictable ways. We are the writer and thus have complete creative control. Acknowledging that we are responsible for our life story – and have the power to change it – can be tremendously empowering and surprisingly freeing. Granted, changing our life story isn’t easy. If you’ve done any amount of writing, you know that good writing seldom just happens. It takes hard work. Start by drafting an outline of your life story to date. Would it best be described as a success story or a fantasy? Perhaps it’s a drama or a sad, melancholy rendering. Let’s hope it’s not a horror story!

Before you start, take careful note of activities that you found stressful or unhealthy relationships that sapped your energy in earlier chapters. Going forward, you’ll want to stop giving them precious room on your page. In fact, you’ll want to exclude beliefs and perceptions that you no longer want and in their place include more loving and positive experiences, beliefs, perceptions and people.

MURRAY Your life is driven by FUHRER the story you create for yourself. Remember, you were meant to be the hero in your story.

If you’re not, it’s time for a change. In the past, have you relegated yourself to the role of villain, side-kick or worse yet, a minor character in the crowd? Undoubtedly, others have written aspects of your story and this can be a good or bad thing depending upon the theme. You may wish to simply continue with some of these storylines or drop them altogether. The initial character development may have been started by your parents or siblings – maybe by a teacher or bully at school. The good news is you are not bound by any of these storylines. Remember, when you write the story of your life, don’t let anyone else grab the pen.

Here are five questions that may help you with the editing process.

1.

If you couldn’t fail, what new endeavour would your character undertake?

2.

If money was not a consideration, what career path would your character choose?

3.

For what has he or she received the most compliments and accolades?

4.

What has brought your character the most

EXTREME ESTEEM

joy and happiness?

5.

What would he or she do (or say) if not for fear?

As you begin to edit and rewrite your life story, also keep these points in mind.

First, as your story changes direction, there will be obstacles to overcome. Your new chapter must see you as the hero overcoming these obstacles.

Imagine ways to deal with them. I use a technique called bridging the gap. Imagine that you’ve already overcome the obstacles – it’s all in the past and now you’re reflecting back on how you accomplished this remarkable feat.

Second, introduce new characters into your story by building a network of people who can help you on your journey. Most people are happy to help. Fear of asking may hold you back but persist and break through those barriers. After all, it’s what your new character would do.

Third, everything works better when you set a timeline. Set a date for when you’ll be introducing changes and, as each new chapter unfolds, take time to celebrate the achievement.

Fourth, believe that you can change the story of your life. Write a new character with healthy selfesteem and boundless enthusiasm, and be willing to allow your story to take on a life of its own and move in the direction it desires. You might be surprised by where it takes you.

“We are shaped by our thoughts,” said Buddha.

“We become what we think.”

I’ve thought a lot about Giselle and her approach to storytelling. For her, life has been difficult and I can see why she might want to pretend certainly aspects of it never happened or happened differently. However, delusion about the past is seldom a healthy approach to living in the moment. Rather than editing your life experiences after they’ve been written, choose instead to draw up a new plot line that leads to a genuinely happy ending.

D6 RED DEER ADVOCATE Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2015

Wife living in fantasy land

HOROSCOPES Tuesday, August 4 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Barack Obama, 53; Billy Bob Thornton, 59; Lauren Tom, 54 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Search out exciting friends and different forms of entertainment today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Clever and freedom-loving, you enjoy taking on challenges. But sometimes you need to be more sensitive and diplomatic in your dealings with others.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A friend, work colleague or loved one requires help but avoid barging in and taking over. Old solutions won’t help - you have to keep up-to-date with novel new ways of solving problems.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A friend, work colleague or loved one requires help but avoid barging in and taking over. Old solutions won’t help - you have to keep up-to-date with novel new ways of solving problems.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your inspiration for today is from birthday great Barack Obama “It’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.” Go Gemini!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you expect things to run smoothly, then you’ll be jolted out of your Crab comfort zone. The planets, especially Mars, encourage you to look at a current situation in a bold new way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): With Jupiter in your sign until August 11, make the most of the opportunities that are around. Be inspired by writer D. H. Lawrence “I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A friend may give you some updated information that helps you get out of a financial tight spot. But are you resisting change and holding onto a belief or attitude that’s passed its used-by date?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t allow a friend or acquaintance to manipulate

you, as they try to persuade you to do something against your better judgement. Stand your ground and do it with a dazzling smile!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s time to be more open JOANNE with loved ones.

MADELEINE If you’ve got a MOORE problem that’s bothering you, don’t bottle it up inside. If you’re a smart Scorpio you’ll talk about what’s troubling you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Marvellous Jupiter aspects favour education, travel and social networking as you connect with friends from faraway shores. Who knows where your international contacts may lead?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Dramas are likely at home or work, unless you can be super adaptable and stay calm. A loved one is feeling emotionally unsettled, so don’t take negative comments too personally.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let impatience trip you up! Draw inspiration from birthday great Barack Obama: “If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you wish there were more hours in the day so you can tackle the myriad of jobs that need to be done? The planets shake you out of any complacency, but avoid being rash with cash.

Houston police chase cobra in apartment

Police used a broom to corner and capture the snake. No injuries were reported.

The Rice Apartments were once Houston’s landmark Rice Hotel. A statement from The Rice management said all common areas and units in the complex have been inspected. No other exotic animals were found.

Authorities aren’t sure how the snake, native to Southeast Asia, ended up in the building or who owned it.

HOUSTON — An aggressive 2-footlong cobra captured at a luxury highrise apartment complex in downtown Houston has been euthanized.

Houston police were summoned to The Rice Apartments after residents spotted an albino monocled cobra on the third floor over the weekend.

SUN SIGNS

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for seven years. She has a son from a previous marriage who got into drugs as a teen. Four years ago, my wife put her son in rehab, but he had a relapse and briefly ended up in prison. The effect it had on my wife was devastating and she began to drink. My dislike for her son increased exponentially.

Last year, my wife put her son in rehab again, this time in another state.

He finished the program, but while there, met another addict in a halfway house for sober living and she got pregnant. They married two weeks ago, and my wife returned from the wedding exuberant and giddy. She demanded that we allow the couple to live with us so she could give her son a second chance. I told her “no.” In response, she removed her wedding ring.

My wife now plans to move out of state to live with the couple and take them out of the halfway house so she can care for the baby and rekindle her relationship with her son.

I have spoken to numerous addiction experts and they all agree that the couple should remain where they are. My wife is defiant about it and has resolved to leave me. She thinks her son’s problems are all behind him now.

I love my wife and don’t want to lose her. — Crestfallen Husband Dear Crestfallen: Your wife is living in a fantasy, and her rushing in to take over her son’s life could undermine his recovery. But she believes she is helping and to some extent, that’s true.

The problem is, her son needs to know that he can stand on his own feet first and he hasn’t completely done that.

Would she speak to the addiction experts about this? Do her son and new daughter-in-law understand the downside of moving out of the halfway house too soon?

If you cannot convince your wife to change her mind, and you want to stay married, we recommend that you be

supportive. This could work out.

Having a baby together might encourage the couple to be more committed to staying clean.

Your wife’s assistance could allow them to find decent jobs.

Tell her you are on her side and MITCHELL consider this a & SUGAR temporary separation. We hope it is.

Dear Annie: After relocating in retirement, I find people correcting or commenting negatively about my pronunciation. In 70 years, I cannot recall one incident of people doing that where I previously lived.

Recently, a woman I thought of as a friend turned to another woman to comment on my pronunciation. While this has happened only a few times, it has made me uncomfortable and I have started to withdraw, keeping to myself.

What can I say to people who do this? Or should I just stay home? — Hurt and Unwelcome Dear Hurt: Please don’t stay home and isolate yourself. If you have moved to a new area, it’s likely that you have a regional accent and others simply need to get used to it. If someone says something hurtful, politely reply, “This is the way I speak. I’m sorry you find it so offensive.” We hope they will fall over themselves apologizing for their rudeness.
