WW1 curtain returning to Penhold

GIVE A HOOT

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF A unique reminder of Central Alberta’s First World War history is returning to its Penhold home.

As part of the ceremony surrounding the dedication of the town’s new war memorial on Nov. 5, a curtain that once hung in a local hall and now in the Canadian War Museum’s collection, will be unveiled.

Painstakingly created and hand painted by a pair of Red Deer war veterans in 1920, the huge drop curtain features a view of the bomb-ravaged remains of the cathedral in the town of Albert in France. A damaged statue of the Virgin Mary leaning precariously out into space was an oft-commented on and iconic scene passed by thousands of troops heading off to battle.

According to the lore of the day, if the Virgin ever fell the war would end. It did finally topple in March 1918, but eight more months of bloodshed followed until the Nov. 11 Armistice.

The four-by-12-metre curtain hung in the Penhold Memorial Hall built commissioned by the local Women’s Institute to honour the town’s veterans and its fallen soldiers and opened in 1919.

Taken down in the 1960s, the curtain was put away and forgotten for 40 years. It was rediscovered in 2004 during hall renovations.

A local businessman, Stewart Ford, took it upon himself to ensure the curtain was not lost again. It was donated to the Canadian War Museum in 2006 and remains part of its extensive collection.

“We’ve been working with professional restoration individuals here at the museum to have it cleaned and restored to its original beauty,” said Yasmin Mingay, War Museum public affairs director.

“And we hope to travel it out to Penhold in October to for display for several months.”

Three-year-old Nataleigh Laurin hopes Otis the Owl (held by Medicine River Wildlife Centre executive director Carol Kelly) gets a new home. A barbecue fundraiser was held Saturday on Oriole Park hill by The Drive and Big 105 radio stations to raise money for a badly needed new building for the wildlife centre. About $40,000 has been raised, so far, towards the goal of $400,000 needed to keep the centre from closing. Kelly is thrilled that many local businesses are joining a challenge to raise $2,000 by Aug. 31. It was launched by Fetch Haus pet grooming, which is donating a portion of sales to the centre and accepting public donations. To register for the challenge, contact Sabrina at info@fetchhaus.ca.

Local teacher learns lessons Crop yield on battlefield tour stunted by heat

When the tide went out at Juno Beach, a Red Deer teacher stood where thousands of Canadian soldiers had charged out of landing craft into enemy fire on D-Day. Rafaela Marques Barnabe was struck by two powerful thoughts during her recent trip to France.

“I realized how much courage it must have taken,” she said, for young men from farms, fishing villages and cities from Vancouver Island to New Brunswick, to rush into a hail of German bullets and artillery on June 6, 1944.

“There was nowhere to hide.”

The social studies teacher at Hunting Hills High School also realized the great debt we owe to adolescents.

Having toured Canadian First and Second World War cemeteries in France, Marques Barnabe noticed how young the soldiers were. “They were 17, 18, 19, with some in their early 20s... There was one young man who enlisted at 15 who died freeing Normandy at 16,” she said.

“They were teenagers. People my age don’t think of that.”

Marques Barnabe believes many of her Hunting Hills students may also not realize that Canadian youths not much older than they are, won the Battle of Normandy in the Second World War and the Battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War — and ultimately helped turn the tide in both global conflicts.

She plans to bring this fact and others to light in the classroom after spending July 26 to Aug. 4 in France at the 11th-annual Summer Institute and Battlefield Tour for teachers. Marques Barnabe was the only Red Deer teacher among 25 Canadian educators selected for the trip, based on a motivational essay she submitted about how her teaching of Canadian history will be enhanced by the experience.

“I am always proud to be a Canadian, but on this trip, it was amazing,” added Marques Barnabe, who saw how grateful French citizens feel about their Canadian “liberators.” She witnessed Maple Leaf flags still flying across Normandy, villagers singing the Canadian anthem at memorial celebrations, and

streets named for Canadian regiments.

More sombre history lessons came to life as the educators visited museums, monuments, battlefields and tunnels used by First World War soldiers. The latter were still decorated with historic graffiti and drawings penned by soldiers readying for battle, said Marques Barnabe.

Walking up to the high ridge at Vimy, she saw for herself why its capture, largely by Canadian soldiers, was such a turning point in the First World War — and for Canada as a country. Historians credit the nationalistic pride this victory engendered in Canadians back home with helping build our national identity More emotional moments were spent at the National Vimy Memorial, which loomed high into a grey sky. “We were there early and it was raining .... We were the only people there and it was surreal. You could still see craters from the bombs. It was a moving experience,” said Marques Barnabe.

Extreme weather in Central Alberta has likely stunted this year’s crop yield.

The 2015 harvest is estimated to be 25 per cent below the five-year average, according to the latest Alberta Crop Report. “All in all, the crops have really suffered” from drought in the spring and early summer, said James Wright, a risk analyst from the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation in Lacombe.

With too little rain during May planting and continued parched conditions in late June “when crops are setting up to head,” Wright believes most plants are stressed and unable to grow to their full potential.

He predicted, “It doesn’t matter how much moisture we get from this point on, it’s not going to help too much” — aside from plumping up some kernels.

However, some crops benefitted from early planting in moister soil and are doing better than others.

Wright said localized rainfall in May and June also resulted in a wide range of plant quality in some fields. “Some stuff is very good and some stuff is very bad.”

Other farmers had crops decimated by extreme hailstorms — such the golf-ball-sized ice chunks that broke windshields in the Lacombe area on July 20.

“We’ve had a tough hail year. We’re well backed up, getting (crop insurance) adjustors out,” said Wright.

The Airdie to Red Deer area is considered Alberta’s “hail alley,” and hailstorms have been a significant problem for five out of the last seven years.

Conditions this spring and summer teetered between prolonged periods of drought or extreme rain.

Temperatures also fluctuated from below- to aboveaverage.

Although thermometers are expected to climb into the high 20s and low 30s this week, Wright hopes for a more moderate climate for the rest of the summer to allow crops to gradually ripen. “We don’t want to rush them to maturity.”

Voters can register online this year

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

For the first time, voters will be able to register online in a federal election.

The 42nd general election, to take place Oct. 19, will see a number of changes regarding voting.

To register online, voters will need to go to the Elections Canada website, which is elections.ca and click on the “Voters” link.

Voters will also be able to confirm if they are already registered, or update their address.

Information on such topics as electoral districts, returning officers, acceptable ID and much more is available.

Some of the other changes for voters include: ● The voter information card is no longer accepted as a proof of address. During the 41st general election, the card was accepted as a proof of address at select polls. ● The provisions for vouching, by which one elector could “vouch” for the identity and address of another elector, have been repealed.

● A new written oath of residence enables one elector to attest to the address of another elector.

The elector being attested to will have to show two pieces of ID proving identity. ● A list and format of ID pieces accepted to vote can be found on the website. ● For the first time, election results may now be transmitted nationally as they become available on election night.

The publication of new election survey results continues to be prohibited on election day until the polls close.

The boundaries of almost 90 per cent of electoral districts are changing in this election. All four of Central Alberta’s four districts are changing, and three of them have new names.

The former Red Deer riding has been split into two — Red Deer-Lacombe to the north and Red Deer -Mountain View to the south.

In the last election, which was in 2011, the voter turnout for the Red Deer riding was 61.1 per cent. In the previous election in 2008 it was 58.8 per cent.

The other two ridings are now known as Battle

River-Crowfoot (formerly Crowfoot) and Yellowhead (name unchanged).

Maps and descriptions of the boundaries are available from the Elections Canada website.

Voters can also register in person at the local Elections Canada office between Aug. 17 and Oct. 13 at 6 p.m.

Registering by mail is also possible by calling your local Elections Canada office on Aug. 17 or later to request a registration form.

Mail back the form, with a copy of proof of identity and address, so the office receives it by Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 6 p.m.

The returning office toll-free number for Red Deer-Lacombe is 1-866-717-7756; for Red Deer-Mountain View it’s 1-866-716-8227; and for Battle RiverCrowfoot it’s 1-866-354-7174.

It is not yet available for Yellowhead.

The toll-free number of Elections Canada is 1-800463-6868.

STORIES FROM PAGE A1

CURTAIN: Tell the country’s stories The curtain will then be returned to the museum’s collection. Whether it one day goes on display at the country’s popular museum in Ottawa remains to be seen.

Mingay said the museum seeks to tell the country’s stories. “(The curtain) certainly tells us quite a bit about the history and the interest and the story behind Penhold.”

As part of the restoration work, a hanging system will be devised to show off the curtain to its best.

The image of Albert was likely chosen, says a brief history provided by the War Museum, because many of the soldiers from Central Alberta served in the area of the Somme, where huge battles were fought during the war and tens of thousands of soldiers killed and many more wounded.

Many of those who enlisted from Central Alberta would have marched through Albert on their way to the front.

The men who created the curtain, Arthur England and Harold Haste ran a painting and decorating business together and had both served in the war.

Haste was badly wounded and spent several months in hospital in 1918 before returning home.

Penhold Mayor Dennis Cooper said the curtain is a piece of local history on many levels.

Besides its connection to the First World War, the back of it is signed by early townsfolk and even some of the theatre troupe members that once performed in the hall.

“It has local graffiti on the back too. There’s another whole history behind the curtain,” he said.

Forgotten in a shed behind an old projection room in the hall, the curtain survived a fire before it was rediscovered.

Cooper said the return of the curtain will be one of the highlights of a ceremony to dedicate the town’s first cenotaph inside the Penhold Multiplex.

About three metres high the granite monument will be topped by the bust of a soldier, head bowed in remembrance.

Grain ripens in a field east of Red Deer Friday.

Cooper said the evening ceremony overseen by the local Royal Canadian Legion branch will be followed by a gala with retired Maj.-Gen. Lewis Mackenzie, who commanded Sector Sarajevo as part of the United Nations Protection Force in the former Yugoslavia in 1992, and has since become an author and commentator.

Other dignitaries and families of some of the pioneers whose names appear on the back of the curtain will also be invited. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Before leaving the Juno Beach Centre, the teacher bought booklets detailing the lives of certain Canadian soldiers. She intends to pass them out to groups of social studies students to help them view the war through these personal accounts. The students will eventually discover whether their soldier made it home.

That so many thousands of young Canadians didn’t was powerfully brought home to Marques Barnabe by the rows and rows of white crosses at Canadian cemeteries.

CROPS: Later stages Crop development is already progressing very quickly, with the Alberta Crop Report mentioning spring cereals in the later stages. The harvest of winter cereals, field peas and early barley has already started in Southern Alberta and is expected to happen soon in this central region.

Canola is in full flower in many parts of the province, and there’s good regrowth of hay and pasture in the western part of the region, thanks to ample July precipitation.

Wright believes this year’s agricultural yield will fall considerably short of the bumper harvest of 2013 — a growing season with moderate temperatures and ample rainfall. “The dry June and the hot weather was a real killer.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Week 2 kicks off with Duffy trial looming HARPER PROMISED TO MAKE IT A CRIME FOR CANADIANS TO TRAVEL TO PLACES LINKED TO TERRORISM FEDERAL ELECTION

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — With the shadow of the Mike Duffy trial looming larger than ever, Stephen Harper kicked off Week 2 of the federal election campaign with a headline-grabbing effort to crack down on homegrown terror threats.

Harper, keen to show off his bona fides as the experienced incumbent, promised to make it a crime for Canadians to travel to specific countries or regions where they could fight alongside groups officially identified by the federal government as terrorist organizations.

He says a re-elected Conservative government would establish “declared areas” — regions of the world where terrorist groups like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant hold control and use their base to recruit and train followers.

Forgoing casual campaign garb for the more prime ministerial suit and tie, Harper made his announcement at a news conference in Ottawa, flanked

by Canadian flags.

He said national security agencies would track Canadians who travel to those areas; those who return would be required to prove they were in the region for humanitarian reasons, or as a journalist covering the conflict.

Similar laws exist in Australia, which has designated parts of Iraq and Syria as no-travel zones.

New Democrat leader Tom Mulcair dismissed Harper’s announcement as a campaign gimmick, suggesting it would have very little real effect on curbing terror.

“There’s very little evidence to show that this is going to have any concrete effect, I don’t know of too many flights between Toronto and the war zones, most of them are going through other countries so it won’t make a big difference practically speaking,” Mulcair told reporters in Vancouver after attending an NDP rally.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau called Harper’s announcement a diversion designed to take the attention of Canadians away from his

government’s failed economic plan.

But, he added, Harper would have to answer a lot more questions than he did Sunday about any policy that proposes to take rights away from people.

On Wednesday, Duffy is scheduled to be back in court as his trial’s star witness takes the stand: Nigel Wright, Harper’s former chief of staff and the man who gave the disgraced former Conservative senator $90,000 to repay his disallowed housing and travel expenses.

Asked at a campaign event in the Ottawa-area later on Sunday about how Wright’s pending appearance might change the dynamic of the election campaign, Trudeau called it a reminder of Harper’s “lack of respect for democracy and of his extremely poor judgment.”

Harper has long insisted that Wright acted on his own and did not say anything about the transaction to him or anyone else in his office.

But he was questioned Sunday about the trial — and in particular what Wright meant when he wrote in a February 2013 email that he’d been given a “good to go” from the prime minister.

“I did not know that Mr. Wright had made a payment to Mr. Duffy,” Harper replied.

“As soon as I learned that, I made that public. And Mr. Wright has been clear about that. This is the purpose of the process and those who are responsible and I’ll let the court do its work.”

And “good to go”? “The words you’re quoting are not my words, they’re somebody else’s,” he said.

When asked about the ramifications of his proposed anti-terror measure, Harper struck a defiant tone.

“There is no right in this country to travel to an area under the governance of terrorists; that is not a human right,” he said to a barrage of partisan applause.

He acknowledged — grudgingly — that humanitarian workers, journalists and diplomats might “theoretically” have legitimate reasons for travelling

ALBERTA

BRIEFS

Men arrested after RCMP search Drugs, firearms, cash and stolen property were seized and two men arrested after RCMP searched a Penhold residence Friday.

Members of Innisfail, Blackfalds, Red Deer RCMP detachments as well as the Calgary Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant at 1 p.m. on Heartland Crescent. Part of the street was blocked off for nearly two hours as the ERT team apprehended five occupants of the house, following an investigation into suspected criminal activity at the residence. No injuries resulted from the house search and apprehensions. But drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, GHB (a date rape drug), morphine and prescription pills were seized by police, along with cash, guns and stolen items.

Darren Ray, 32, of Penhold, faces numerous drug-, firearm- and stolen property-related charges. He will appear in Red Deer court today (on Monday).

Darrek Bergdal, 30, of Penhold, is facing a drug and firearms charge. He will also appear today in Red Deer court. The matter is still under investigation by RCMP.

Regulator investigates reports that 30 herons died at oilsands site The Alberta Energy Regulator says it is investigating reports that approximately 30 blue herons have died at an oilsands site.

A news release from the regulator says it has sent staff to the Syncrude Canada Mildred Lake mine site, north of Fort McMurray, to assess the situation.

The cause of the deaths is still under investigation. Will Gibson, a spokesman for Syncrude Canada, said the company is co-operating with the energy regulator as well as with provincial fish and wildlife officials and Environment Canada.

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper makes a campaign stop in Ottawa on Sunday, August 9, 2015. Canadians will head to the polls on October 19, 2015 to such a country.

“There will be exceptions in the law for those legitimate reasons, and I don’t think that people who have legitimate reasons will have difficulty showing those, but we know what other people are doing there,” Harper said.

“That is something that we have to nip in the bud before trained terrorists return to this country.”

Harper also volunteered an answer to a question he wasn’t asked, reacting to remarks made last week by “star NDP candidate” Linda McQuaig, who told a CBC panel discussion that for Canada to meet its climate change targets, “a lot of the oilsands oil may have to stay in the ground.”

The comments contrasted with NDP leader Tom Mulcair, who has been open to oilsands development provided there is rigorous environmental protection and legislation to force oil companies to pay for pollution they create, including increased greenhouse gas emissions. Mulcair does, however, support a west-to-east pipeline for moving oilsands crude to market.

“That is the NDP’s not-so-hidden agenda on development,” Harper said.

“The NDP is consistently against the development of our resources and our economy. That’s why they have been a disaster wherever they’ve been in government and why they would wreck this economy if they ever got in, and why they must never get into power in this country.”

Trudeau also chimed in, saying the exchange shows that both Harper and Mulcair are in “extreme positions” on oil extraction.

“What Albertans know, what all Canadians know, is the way to grow a strong economy in the 21st century is by caring for the environment, and you don’t get to make a choice between one or the other,” he said.

Mulcair repeated his party’s position in Vancouver on Sunday and stressed that developing Canada’s natural resources must go hand in hand with reducing climate change.

“Sustainable development is not a slogan, it’s something that has to become very real,” he said.

“Canada’s reputation is being hurt on the world stage, simply because we’ve been working against the planet.”

ASIRT investigating police shooting hopes work crew saw something

Permitted Use Approvals: Northern Portion of the Gaetz Avenue Commercial Corridor

EDSON — Alberta’s police watchdog is hoping members of a work crew may have witnessed an incident where officers shot and wounded a man.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says in a news release that a 27-year-old man went to the probation office in the Edson Provincial Courthouse on Friday to speak with a probation officer.

It says that while he was with the officer, he pulled out a weapon and threatened to kill himself.

Staff called the RCMP and told them there was a man at the courthouse with a weapon. The release says RCMP found the man in a nearby grassy field across from a busy commercial area, and that there was a confrontation where officers shot and wounded the man. The civilian-led provincial watchdog agency has taken over the investigation of the shooting, and says members of a work crew at a hotel across the street from the incident may have seen something. “(The team’s) investigators on scene have interviewed some witnesses. However, (they) would like to interview any other witnesses, as the incident happened in a busy commercial area,” the release stated. The man suffered life-threatening injuries but was reported to be in stable condition in hospital in Edmonton on the weekend. The release noted the man was known to the probation officer and to police.

It said he was “visibly upset, displayed signs of impairment and engaged in erratic behaviour” while at the probation office. Sgt. Josee Valiquette said Friday that officers tried to make a peaceful arrest but were unsuccessful and the man was shot.

was able to clearly make his points as the evening wore on before stumbling in his closing remarks.

Mulcair was still introducing himself to many Canadians Thursday night, and there was nothing in the introduction to give pause to those who may be looking at him as a potential prime minister.

The Conservative leader tried to reassure Canadians that all was fine with the economy except for an energy sector being battered by matters out of Canadian control.

He rattled off the requisite numbers but it got lost in the din, and Mulcair may have got off the line of the night when he said Harper was the only prime minister who, when asked about the recession, could answer, “which one?”

But some of Harper’s best moments came when passivity worked to his advantage when his opponents wrangled with each other, particularly a bizarre interlude when Trudeau and Mulcair fenced over the NDP’s position that Quebec could separate on a vote of 50 per cent plus one.

Mulcair turned to Trudeau and asked for his number, repeatedly badgering him with “What’s your number, Justin? What’s your number?”

Trudeau gave him a number — “nine” — as in the number of Supreme

Court of Canada justices who sat in judgment of the Clarity Act, but as the two men slagged each other, Harper merely bided his time before accusing Mulcair of “trying to throw gasoline on a fire that’s not burning.”

Mulcair’s position on the Clarity Act is unlikely to become a ballot question in October, but it does play to a perception stoked by Trudeau that the NDP is too cosy with the waning separatist movement in Quebec.

This debate was unique in many ways.

It was not televised by the traditional broadcasting consortium and viewership numbers for a midsummer event in a campaign that had not yet taken shape would be expected to be down.

Those who missed the debate missed a freewheeling forum expertly moderated by Maclean’s columnist Paul Wells.

Harper probably did not push back as hard as he could.

But he didn’t exactly emerge battered and, given his vulnerabilities over almost a decade, there was a sense that given the three-to-one tilt on that stage, the Conservative leader was breathing fairly easy after this evening.

quickly when overhunted.

Large carnivores are also keystone species that play a crucial role in the food web by helping to regulate prey populations. B.C. grizzlies also contribute to rainforest growth by dragging salmon carcasses into the woods, where the fish remains and bear scat provide fertilizer. In B.C., trophy hunters have slaughtered more than 12,000 grizzlies over the past three decades. Like Palmer, non-resident hunters here pay large amounts of money to “bag” a grizzly because the species is protected in their home country, such as the U.S., or because populations have dwindled to a handful, as in Western Europe, where the species is now protected.

Killing animals purely for the “thrill” is barbaric and wasteful, and can’t be justified on economic or conservation grounds. Studies show more money can be made from people who want to view and photograph them. Research also shows very little money paid by trophy hunters benefits the local economy.

We’re at a critical moment in human history: our population, technology, consumptive demand and global economy are overwhelming the planet’s lifesupport systems — air, water, soil and other species.

We’re in a global eco-crisis that demands a redefinition of our relationship with plants and other animals.

It’s time to end trophy hunting. In B.C., the government must listen to citizens and conservationists, respect First Nations laws and customs and end the grizzly hunt.

MONDAY, AUG. 10, 2015 NATIONAL PEACEKEEPERS’ DAY

BRITISH COLUMBIA

Lightning expected to increase fire activity

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS KEREMEOS, B.C. — British Columbia’s firefighters aren’t likely to catch a break any time soon.

Although cooler, wetter weather in recent days brought down the fire danger rating, it’s sparking back up again with lightning in the forecast.

“What we’re starting to see now is kind of a return to the warm and dry conditions in the south,” said B.C. Wildfire Service fire information officer Ryan Turcot.

“The coast is expected to see some rain. We are expecting to see lightning activity start to increase over the next few days pretty much province-wide.”

The fire danger rating for most of B.C. was low on Saturday, but in the south it ranged from moderate to high.

Some pockets including southeast Vancouver Island had an extreme rating, meaning fires could start easily and spread rapidly.

There are 123 fires currently burning in the province, of which 87 were sparked by lightning, 30 were caused by humans and the remainder are still being investigated.

The B.C. Wildfire Service has spent about $185 million fighting more than 1,400 fires this season, up from $156 million at this time last year, said Turcot.

Among the most significant fires is the Wood Lake blaze burning 20 kilometres north of Harrison Hot Springs.

The flames have devoured more than 13 square kilometres since August 2.

No homes or structures are at risk from the fire, which is spreading northward away from the community. There is heavy smoke in the area.

A grass fire shut down Highway 3 in both directions about eight kilometres west of Keremeos in the southern Interior for several hours on Saturday.

The service sent three firefighters to help local crews, who swiftly got the small hectare blaze under control.

Complaint filed with RCMP after CBC reporter kissed by stranger on Camera

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SQUAMISH, B.C. — Another television reporter doing a live report received a jarring distraction after a man kissed her on the cheek.

CBC reporter Megan Batchelor was covering a music festival in Squamish, B.C., north of Vancouver, on Friday when the incident happened.

She was doing a live hit for the network’s 6 p.m newscast when video the network aired shows the man came up

from behind, kissed her on the cheek and took a selfie.

The CBC quotes Batchelor as saying she was “rattled” by the encounter and felt like the unidentified man was trying to interfere with her ability to do her job.

The CBC is reporting that Batchelor has made a complaint to the RCMP and the network is asking anyone who knows the identity of the man to contact police.

The CBC said in an emailed statement on Sunday that Friday’s incident

is another example of a disturbing trend and the network will do everything it can to ensure its journalists are safe when reporting from the field.

There have been a number of incidents recently where female television reporters have been the subject of abuse from people passing by.

An employee with the Ontario electrical utility Hydro One was let go earlier this year after he shouted crude remarks to a Toronto reporter who works for Citytv.

Party aims to give those with disabilities a chance to explore sexuality

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A party meant to give people with disabilities a chance to explore and express their sexuality is shining a spotlight on an enduring and often ignored barrier for those with physical and mental limitations.

But though guests at the Deliciously Disabled party, to be held in Toronto next week, are free to act on their consensual desires, don’t call it an orgy.

“An orgy is when everybody comes together and has sex together,” said Fatima Mechtab, one of the event’s organizers. “This is a sex-positive play party.”

“The difference is that people can attend the event but they don’t have to participate if they don’t want to — they can be voyeurs, they can enjoy it like you would enjoy any other type of party... but then there’s the added bonus of being able to be intimate with your partner or explore some sexual activity if you want to.”

The Aug. 14 event, a masquerade that will take place in a wheelchairaccessible theatre, is believed to be the first of its kind in Canada.

Most discussions on accessibility focus on physical barriers, but the event’s organizers said it’s also important to look at the emotional and social hurdles that people with disabilities face, such as the widespread belief that they aren’t sexual beings.

“Access (to sexuality) is such a major barrier for people with disabilities — I don’t think there’s any other group in society that, depending on the level of their physical limitation, can’t even pleasure themselves sexually,” said Stella Palikarova, a disability awareness consultant.

“You can imagine trying to go through life being completely unable to have any sort of sexual relief or even to think that you are perceived by others as being sexually desirable or a sexual person,” said Palikarova, who uses a wheelchair.

“That becomes a really major human rights issue for me.”

Palikarova, Mechtab and Andrew Morrison-Gurza, another disability awareness consultant, began planning the event several months ago but struggled to find an appropriate venue.

Mechtab, who works at the Toronto sex club Oasis Aqualounge, initially suggested holding it there, but quickly realized the historic building isn’t wheelchair accessible.

Finding a location that was both accessible and allowed nudity and sex proved a challenge, she said.

The group eventually booked the Buddies in Bad Times theatre, not far from Oasis. The space can hold 125 people including roughly 25 wheelchairs. Tickets are $20 each.

Personal support workers can attend for free, and there will be interpreters for the hearing impaired.

Spanish Legacy Presented by:

Aucamapu Folk Society

The event is set to take place during the Parapan Am Games, which began Friday and end next weekend. The international competition has drawn more than 1,000 athletes with disabilities to the Toronto region.

Palikarova said the timing isn’t purely coincidental.

“Some of the athletes perhaps might be interested in coming to an event like this,” she said.

As buzz around the event grows, a spokeswoman with the Council of Canadians With Disabilities said the issue the party seeks to highlight is an important one.

“The reality is that we are sexual

beings,” said vice-chair Path Danforth.

“It’s an issue that remains seldom talked about, which I find quite bizarre.”

Danforth, who uses a wheelchair, said she’s met a number of individuals with significant disabilities who’ve told her “no one ever gave them permission before to be sexual.”

“With this event, one of the things it will do is it will give people permission to have an opportunity to explore their own sexuality,” she said. “If it’s in such a way that it’s demonstrating a healthy take on sexuality, then that’s a good thing. It makes people aware and it makes some people less uncomfortable.”

A net and two canoes FIRST NATIONS FISHERMAN LAUNCHES REEF-NET REVIVAL VANCOUVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Almost a century after fishing practices unique to First Nations in British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Salish Sea were outlawed, members paddled canoes back to traditional waters and dropped their full-sized reef net. It was the start of a long-term mission to revitalize the once-celebrated technique for gathering food and bonding community for the Strait Salish people. The web-like net â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about the length of a city bus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was suspended between two canoes in an endeavour by a University of Victoria doctoral student who envisions bringing his nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fishing style â&#x20AC;&#x153;back to life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In traditional times, it was really the backbone of our society,â&#x20AC;? said Nick Claxton, who successfully defended his thesis on the practice in late July before an academic panel and 100 of his community members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I want it to be in the future.

Where we can all be reef-net fishermen.â&#x20AC;?

Claxton, 42, initially set out to document the history of reef-net fishing and investigate ways to restore the practice.

His research found that Strait Salish people relied on the method until 1916, when the colonial government called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fish trapâ&#x20AC;? and brought in a ban. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is ironic is right around that time they allowed J. H. Todd and Sons to fish with their fish trap.

It was at the time when the industrial-commercial fisheries started to develop,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I think they wanted was just access to our fishing locations.â&#x20AC;?

Aboriginals were discriminated against despite being signatories to the 1852 Douglas Treaty, which formally guaranteed their fisheries, Claxton said.

Some First Nations maintained the fishery on the American side of the Salish Sea, but Washington state officials stopped them in the 1950s or 1960s, said Claxton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was really the last time we fished with reef nets,â&#x20AC;? said Claxton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The knowledge system of it was nearly lost.â&#x20AC;?

Claxton realized the opportunity for reviving the fishery style as he dove into his thesis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It became more a project of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go out and do it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how that happened. We built a full-sized, modern reef net and we actually went fishing with it last summer.â&#x20AC;?

Band members of all ages got involved. Schoolchildren were taught about the lore, while youth and elders designed the system and then held a sacred ceremony.

They left from Saanich Peninsula and went fishing in their hereditary fishing grounds around Pender Island, one of the southern Gulf Islands along the Canada-United States border.

It was the first test of their newly constructed net, made with the same materials as a modern seine net.

They suspended it between two canoes, which were secured by anchors.

The net remained opened at one end, acting like a corral for incoming salmon.

There was only one hitch in the trial last August â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the fish didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t co-operate. The sockeye run was

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;IN TRADITIONAL TIMES, IT WAS REALLY THE BACKBONE OF OUR SOCIETY. AND THATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HOW I WANT IT TO BE IN THE FUTURE.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NICK CLAXTON

massive, but most returning salmon migrated along a different route than expected, likely due to warmer waters, Claxton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch anything, but it was a success because we were able to get the net fishing. And nothing bad happened, no accidents,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The experience of doing it was more valuable than anything.â&#x20AC;?

One reef net could haul up to 5,000 salmon per day. Claxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping for another attempt this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; maybe in a few weeks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it could be stymied again, by a low salmon returns. His research will form the backbone of new curriculum in a local school. High school students will not only learn the fishery technology, but about its sustainability. No fossil fuels are burned, while unwanted bycatch can be released unharmed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the practical reasons for it, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a fundamental part of our traditional way of life,â&#x20AC;?

Claxton said.

B1 Jays sweep struggling Yankees

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Blue Jays 2 Yankees 0 NEW YORK — Everyone already knew the Toronto Blue Jays could really hit. Turns out, it was a trio of splendid pitching performances that closed the gap in the AL East.

Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista launched long home runs, and the Blue Jays earned their eighth straight victory by beating the New York Yankees 2-0 on Sunday to complete a threegame sweep that tightened the division race.

“Everything seems more in reach,” Bautista said. “It seems more attainable.”

Marco Estrada tossed three-hit ball into the seventh inning against the suddenly slumping Yankees, outpitching Masahiro Tanaka during Toronto’s second consecutive shutout. Boosted by some big acquisitions before the July 31 trade deadline, the streaking Blue Jays have won 11 of 12 to pull within 1 1-2 games of the first-place Yankees.

A week ago, New York was up by six.

“Incredible,” Estrada said. “It’s been a great ride. We’ve had a tremendous team this whole year and obviously just got a little better. Adding a few pieces helped a lot. Our confidence is pretty high and we’re all enjoying the run.”

In a series that featured the top two offences in the majors, New York mustered only one run and went scoreless over the final 26 innings. Not since May 1999 against the Angels had the Yankees been blanked in two straight — that stretch of 2,665 games between consecutive shutouts was the longest in major league history, the team said in citing research by the Elias Sports Bureau.

It was the first time since May 2003 that Toronto swept New York in a series of at least three games.

“We definitely took a punch this weekend, and good teams punch back,”

MONDAY, AUG. 10, 2015

Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez said.

“For us, it’s all about how we respond that matters.”

On an aggravating afternoon for the Yankees, Brett Gardner slammed down his helmet with two hands after grounding out with a runner on second to end the third inning.

Moments later, he was standing in left field when he got hit in the back of the head by Bautista’s home run ball after a 15-year-old fan heaved it back onto the field.

“I just wore it. Didn’t even turn around,” Gardner said. “I’ve got a hard head, so it’s all good.”

Estrada (10-6) kept New York’s dangerous lineup off balance all day, masterfully mixing his 77 mph changeup with a 90 mph fastball and slow curve.

He gave up three singles and three walks, striking out six.

The right-hander was lifted after 89 pitches with two on in the seventh.

LaTroy Hawkins got out of the inning, Aaron Sanchez pitched a hitless eighth and Roberto Osuna worked a perfect ninth for his 10th save.

“This ballpark hasn’t been real kind to us in the past,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said. “It’s been a tough spot for us. We’re just on a nice little roll right now.”

Donaldson homered into the Yankees’ bullpen in right-centre on the seventh pitch from Tanaka (8-5), who yielded three hits in six innings. He was relieved after 80 pitches.

Bautista connected in the fourth, a mammoth drive that struck the facing of the second deck in left field.

Donaldson also went deep in the first inning Friday night, when Bautista’s homer in the 10th sent Toronto to a 2-1 victory in the series opener.

“This isn’t going to be comfortable the rest of the way,” Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said. “We have to fight for every win and that’s what we expect every single game going forward.”

Ticats thrash Bombers to stay perfect at home CFL

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Tiger-Cats 38 Blue Bombers 8 HAMILTON — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers bring out the best in Emanuel Davis.

Davis returned two interceptions for touchdowns Sunday afternoon as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats beat Winnipeg 388 to remain unbeaten at Tim Hortons Field. Davis has returned three interceptions for TDs this season and all have come against the Bombers.

Davis had a 35-yard interception return TD in Hamilton’s 52-26 road win over Winnipeg on July 2. What’s more, his two TD performance came on his 26th birthday but the four-year veteran shouldn’t expect anything special from Ticats receiver Bakari Grant.

“He already got his presents,” Grant said, referring to Davis’s two TDs. “I’ll take that for a birthday gift.”

Hamilton head coach/GM Kent Austin deadpanned that maybe he should consider trying to cash in on Davis’s brilliance.

“I told him after the game I have to take him to Vegas,” Austin said with a chuckle. “And it was on his birthday which was really awesome.

“I’m really proud of that young man.”

Davis downplayed his accomplishment, saying he was the recipient of a Hamilton pass rush that made life miserable for Winnipeg quarterbacks, registering seven sacks. Defensive lineman Justin Hickman led the way with three.

“On both I pretty much saw the same

“When the quarterback doesn’t want to throw the ball but has to, that forces mistakes. Luckily we capitalized on them.”

Hamilton (4-2) earned its ninth straight victory at Tim Hortons Field before yet another enthusiastic sellout

gathering of 24,068. The Ticats captured their fourth win in five games overall to move into a first-place tie in the East Division with Toronto (4-2) and Ottawa (4-2).

Hamilton’s home win streak is its longest since an 11-game run in 2001’02.

“It was a long time coming getting into this stadium and in front of our

fans,” Davis said.

“Everyone was excited (when Hamilton opened stadium with 13-12 win over Toronto last September) and the momentum has just been carrying over week by week.

“Hopefully we can stay undefeated in front of our home crowd and keep these fans behind us.”

Winnipeg (3-4) lost more than just the game. Starter Drew Willy (knee) was hurt late in the third after taking a hit from Hamilton linebacker Erik Harris. Willy remained on the field clutching his right knee before walking off the field albeit with his arms around two medical personnel.

Willy was 16-of-27 passing for 171 yards with a touchdown and interception before being replaced by Brian Brohm.

“It’s too early to tell,” Winnipeg head coach Mike O’Shea said when asked about the condition of his quarterback.

“It’s the usual, we have to wait and see what the doctor says.”

Hamilton took control early, storming out to a commanding 21-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Davis opened the scoring with a 65-yard return just 2:41 into the quarter.

Ticats quarterback Zach Collaros then hit a wide-open Grant at 4:45 on a 23-yard scoring strike. That was set up

by Arnaud Gascon-Nadon’s partially blocked punt that put the Ticats at the Winnipeg 23.

Jay Langa’s recovery of the ensuing kickoff put Hamilton at the Winnipeg 26 and Collaros found offensive lineman Ryan Bomben on the eight-yard TD strike at 7:15.

Bouchard looking to get her game going at Rogers Cup

TORONTO — Serena Williams is using the Rogers Cup to reacquaint herself with hard courts with the Grand Slam in sight at the U.S. Open, while Canadian Eugenie Bouchard is just trying to get her game back on track.

Williams and Bouchard are the top draws at the Rogers Cup women’s tournament this week at Aviva Centre at York University, which features 24 of the top 25 players on the WTA Tour.

It’s a star-studded field even without second-ranked Maria Sharapova, who withdrew with a right leg strain.

“We’re excited firstly because we have Canadian Eugenie Bouchard, the rising star,” tournament director Karl Hale said Sunday. “And Serena is our two-time defending champion and probably the greatest female player of all-time. That, plus the rest of the top field, is a dream for us.”

Williams has won the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon already this year and is trying to become the fourth woman in history to capture the calendar-year Grand Slam. She already completed her second “Serena Slam” by winning those four events in

‘SHE IS OUR STAR, OUR CANADIAN STAR. WE THINK THAT’LL CONTINUE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. EVERYBODY KNOWS SHE’S HAD A TOUGH YEAR SO FAR. ... WE EXPECT HER TO TURN IT AROUND VERY QUICKLY..’

— KARL HALE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR FOR THE ROGERS CUP

a row beginning with thee 2014 U.S. Open.

Only losing two sets at Wimbledon, Williams again looks dominant. But she has downplayed her success.

“I feel OK about my game,” Williams said on a recent conference call.

“I’m always trying to improve, always trying to work on new things. I’m never too comfortable because that’s when I think you’re susceptible to losing. I just want to continue to get better and do the best I can.”

Williams won the Rogers Cup each of the past two times it was in Toronto, in 2013 and 2011, but lamented that she always gets tough draws in this tournament. The top-seeded Williams won’t have to face a player ranked higher than 15 in the world until at least the

fourth round.

“I just have to always make sure I start strong and not underestimate anyone and just be ready to go from the beginning,” Williams said.

Bouchard has to focus on the beginning because she has lost her opening match at seven of her past nine WTA events. She’ll open up against Belinda Bencic of Switzerland on Tuesday night.

“It’s definitely been a tough time,” Bouchard said Friday. “But I’m staying positive and I’m just looking forward to when it’ll turn around.”

Along with Williams, Bouchard is at the centre of the Rogers Cup’s marketing campaign, and she’s a draw regardless of her struggles. Hale said ticket sales are up 10 per cent from 2013.

“She is our star, our Canadian star,” Hale said. “We think that’ll continue for the foreseeable future. Everybody knows she’s had a tough year so far. ...

We expect her to turn it around very quickly.”

Bouchard, from Westmount, Que., made the Wimbledon final last year but then lost to qualifier Shelby Rogers in the first round of the Rogers Cup in Montreal in her return to the court.

“Montreal last year was very hectic for me,” Bouchard said.

“It was my first tournament since I made the Wimbledon finals and obviously being in the city I grew up in was very crazy. ... It was just a learning process.”

The learning could continue this week as Bouchard faces a difficult draw. If she beats Bencic, fourth-seeded Carolina Wozniacki awaits in the second round.

With the depth of talent, there aren’t a whole lot of easy paths far in the tournament.

Venus Williams, seeded 14th, will be in the spotlight Monday night when she opens against Sabine Lisicki of Germany. Williams could see Wozniacki or Bouchard as soon as the third round.

Luck of the Irish for Lowry HOLDS OFF WATSON TO WIN WORLD GOLD CHAMPIONSHIP AT FIRESTONE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AKRON, Ohio — Shane Lowry began daydreaming Sunday morning about lifting the Bridgestone Invitational trophy on the 18th green, and then he would quickly return to reality because he knew there was a long day ahead with world-class players all around him.

Turns out he was right.

He just never could have dreamed how it unfolded.

Lowry hooked one tee shot so far left that he was given a free drop because the 11th tee box was in the way. He opened the face of a pitching wedge to hit over a 50-foot tree and made birdie.

Lowry finished the biggest round of his career with a sand wedge that he hammered through a tree on the 18th to just over 10 feet for a closing birdie.

Not to be overlooked were two huge par saves that carried him to a 4-under 66 and a two-shot victory over Bubba Watson.

“It’s fairly special to do that against such a good field, to shoot bogey-free 66 on a golf course like that,” Lowry said. “I know it will stay with me now for the rest of my career. I’ve done everything I needed to do today.”

Watson also closed with a 66. Jim Furyk and Justin Rose, who shared the 54-hole lead, fell behind on the front nine and couldn’t catch the 28-year-old Irishman. Both closed with a 72 and tied for third.

Lowry produced a flawless card and a full supply of fist pumps for his biggest victory. He won the Irish Open in 2009 as an amateur, and then added the Portugal Masters three years later. He wasn’t even sure he was in the Bridgestone Invitational until he narrowly qualified at No. 48 in the world.

He became the first non-PGA Tour member to win a World Golf Championship since Martin Kaymer at the 2011 HSBC Champions. Lowry moved to No. 19 in the world and plans to play both tours next year.

“To beat those guys down the stretch on a golf course like this ... it just shows a lot about my game, that’s it good enough to compete at any level,” Lowry said.

Lowry had a one-shot lead when Furyk made his second bogey on the front nine, but the Irishman appeared to be in trouble with a wild hook off the 10th tee.

Instead, he powered a wedge as high as he could, over a tree and listened for the gallery’s roar to hear the results. It plopped down and rolled to within tap-in range for a birdie that gave him control, and he never let up.

Just as important as his birdies were two pars on the back nine when he was trying to steady his nerves.

Lowry found a deep bunker left of the 14th fairway, came up short of the green and faced an 18-foot par putt that he buried to stay two shots ahead.

Watson was up to his old theatrics with a shot out of the trees to 6 feet for birdie on the 17th to get within one shot.

Lowry, playing two groups behind him, pulled his approach on the 17th and faced a tough chip from behind the green and he could only get within 6 feet. He holed that for another big par to keep his cushion.

“I was just trying to make two pars coming in after I saw Bubba make his birdie on 17,” Lowry said. “The up-anddown on 17 was probably the biggest up-and-down of the week considering the circumstances.”

Lowry finished at 11-under 269 and earned $1.57 million, along with a PGA Tour card for the next three years. He had been a special temporary member.

Watson was stunned that two wedges down the stretch bounced so hard on the greens and took away reasonable birdie chances — one on the par-5 16th and on the closing hole after a drive that rolled out nearly 380 yards.

“I nipped it, took paint off the ball and cut it with a 63-degree lob wedge and it just bounced,” Watson said.

“Now knowing that if I had hit the tree, it spins more on 18. That’s what I should have done. Tell Lowry that was unbelievable.”

Furyk and Rose were annoyed for different reasons — Furyk because he’s not hitting the ball very well, Rose because he is.

“I’m playing better than anyone in the world right now tee-to-green,” Rose said. “So hopefully, it’s a big-boy golf course next week and the long game

Furyk was concerned about the way he was hitting the ball earlier in the week and said his flaws were covered up by great putting. He couldn’t rely on it Sunday.

“The last 27 holes, not only didn’t I hit it well, I hit the ball very poorly,” he said. “We’ve got some work to do.”

Masters and U.S. Open champion Jordan Spieth closed with a 66 and tied for 10th, his fifth straight top 10 during a stretch in which he has won four times.

JAYS: Sat out TRAINER’S ROOM Blue Jays: 1B-DH Edwin Encarnacion, who is 5 for 10 with a home run against Tanaka, sat out because of a tender finger on his left hand. Encarnacion’s middle finger has been bothering him for a while, and he aggravated it on a swing Saturday. The team hopes Encarnacion will feel better after the day off Monday, Gibbons said.

Yankees: With the Yankees scheduled to play 16 straight days beginning Tuesday, manager Joe Girardi confirmed the club probably will plug in a spot starter at some point to give the rotation extra rest.

“I felt a bit dizzy and a bit weird all day actually. I don’t know why I would feel that way. I didn’t play well at all, but I managed to summon up some sort of energy to get it up and down at 16, 17 and 18.”

Jimenez fell all the way down into a tie for 12th spot at 8 under after carding a 4-over 74 just a day after tying the course record of 61.

Scott Dunlap and Mark O’Meara finished in a tie for third place at 11 under after shooting rounds of 64 and 66 respectively.

Playing in his adopted hometown of

“It’s been a boost,” said Ames of shooting rounds of 65, 68 and 67. “I’ve been playing well for the last month, so I’m quite happy with the way I’ve been playing. The win will come eventually. I’ve just got to be patient and let it happen.”

CALGARY — By the time Jeff Maggert birdied the ninth hole on Sunday, he knew he had put himself in great position to win the Shaw Charity Classic.

Maggert’s fifth birdie in six holes at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club vaulted him past Colin Montgomerie and into a lead he refused to relinquish.

“I feel a little fortunate obviously,” said Maggert who shot a 6-under 64 to beat Montgomerie by four shots to win his third Champions Tour event of the season.

“I stuck to my game plan on the front nine. I wanted to make as many birdies as I can. Colin had a little hiccup there on the ninth green and all of a sudden I’m walking off the ninth hole with a nice, big lead, which was unexpected.

“With Colin making a double bogey and me making a birdie, there was just kind of a big shift in momentum.”

Heading into the final round, Maggert trailed Montgomerie and Miguel Angel Jimenez by two strokes, but he quickly erased that deficit on the front nine.

Maggert birdied two more holes on the back nine and then carded his lone bogey of the day on the 15th hole before finishing with three straight pars to end the tournament at 16-under 194 to take home the winner’s share of U.S.$352,500.

“I tried to just focus in on the same game plan on the back nine, be aggressive and try and make some more birdies and just keep distancing myself from the rest of the field,” said the 51-year-old golfer from Sea Pines, South Carolina, who earlier won a pair of majors — the Regions Tradition in May and the U.S. Senior Open Championship in June.

Riggers win Sunburst final opener

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Riggers 13 Athletics 7 When Red Deer Riggers manager Curtis Bailey pencilled in Josh Edwards as his starter for the opening game of the best-of-five Sunburst Baseball League and provincial senior AAA championship against the Sherwood Park Athletics he knew exactly what he was doing.

Not only is Edwards one of the premier pitchers in the province, but he wasn’t about to let a couple of bad bounces get him down.

And that’s exactly what happened.

The A’s put together three hits — two of the bloop variety — and scored two runs in the top of the first inning.

They added a third run in the second inning once again on a pair of infield singles to grab a 3-1 lead. They led 4-1 in the top of the fourth, before the Riggers bats came alive against A’s starter James Fischer.

“We certainly had some bounces go against us early on, but credit to our guys for sticking with it and battling

back,” said Bailey.

Edwards agreed.

“We did have some hops go against us early, but it was a matter of continuing to grind, throw strikes and work through it,” he said. “I knew our guys would continue to grind as well and with those guys hitting behind me I knew I could give up a couple and we’d get those back.”

The Riggers, who scored once in the bottom of the first, added two runs in the fourth on singles by Joel Mazurkewich and Kevin Curran, then added five runs in the fifth with Denver Wik’s three-run double the key blow.

The Riggers added two runs in the sixth, one in the seventh and two in the eighth on Shayne Court’s single.

The A’s got to Edwards for two runs in the seventh, as he appeared to be tiring in the heat.

“It was hot out there,” he said. “I like the heat, but I was getting sweaty.”

But Edwards did what he had to do, said Bailey.

“Eddy threw a great game. He didn’t let the start bother him and he was consistently around the plate and really there weren’t any balls hit hard off

him. He’s a competitor and it’s hard to take him out at any time, but you could tell the heat was getting to him near the end.”

Joel Peterman came on and went the final two innings. He struggled a bit in the ninth, allowing a run after loading the bases with one away. However he had a seven-run lead going into the frame and worked his way out of it, allowing only a sacrifice fly.

The win was big for the Riggers, who host the second game of the series tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Great Chief Park.

“That first game is big, especially when you have two games at home to open the series,” said Bailey. “The system (two-two-one) is the same as last year. There are pros and cons, but it gives us a bit of advantage, playing at home and not travelling in the heat.”

The third and fourth games, if necessary, go Wednesday and Thursday in Sherwood Park with the fifth, if needed, Friday at Great Chief Park.

One of the surprises in the game was starting rookie Joel Mazurkewich in right field.

But the youngster finished with two hits, a walk and a sacrifice fly.

“It’s at the time of the season where we need our role players to step in and we were looking for Joel to bunt, but he came through with a pair of hits and a sacrifice fly when we needed it.

As well at the end we had three of our younger guys in the outfield and they give us a lot of speed and cover a lot of ground.”

Mazurkewich, Mark Fay and Court were in the outfield over the final two innings.

Bailey started in centre and finished with three hits and a walk and scored three times. Jaret Chatwood added a single, a triple and a walk while Weinkauf had a pair of hits and a walk. Jason Chatwood, was hit by a pitch, walked, singled and reached on an error while Curran had a single, two walks and also reached on an error.

Lance Romanchuk, who the Riggers have added for the nationals, had three hits for the A’s. Fischer, who is also going to the nationals, worked into the fifth inning, allowing eight runs on seven hits and five walks.

“I do believe the heat got to him.” said Bailey. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

Logano edges Harvick for win at Watkins Glen NASCAR

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Joey Logano kept his foot on the gas pedal a little bit longer than usual after taking the checkered flag at Watkins Glen International, a huge cloud of smoke wafting toward victory lane.

This time he had more than enough left in the tank of his No. 22 Ford.

“It makes up a lot for last week,” Logano said Sunday after notching his first Sprint Cup victory on a road course and second of the season. He also won the season-opening Daytona 500.

“It’s nice it played out this time. We may not have had the fastest race car, but the execution of the day is what won us this race. What goes around comes around, I guess.”

A week after running out of gas while leading at Pocono with three laps to go, Logano passed Kevin Harvick on the final turn of the 90-lap race as Harvick ran dry.

Logano completed the first NASCAR weekend sweep at the track after winning the Xfinity race Saturday.

He also gave Roger Penske his first Cup victory at The Glen.

“It means an awful lot to Team Penske,” team vice chairman Walt Czarnecki said. “I believe this is our winningest track in the whole history of our company going back to the Trans-Am and Can-Am, so this is particularly meaningful for us.”

Kyle Busch, who ran out of fuel on the last lap at Pocono while leading, finished second and moved to 30th in points, the cutoff to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup title as he continued his remarkable surge.

“I had a chance. I could’ve raced the 22,” said Busch, six points ahead of Cole Whitt and just one behind Justin Allgaier. “I felt like I was better than he was, but my crew chief (Adam Stevens) called in scared on the fuel situation from last week and I don’t blame him. We didn’t want to do the same thing.”

Joey Logano (22) passes Kevin Harvick (4) coming into the last turn on the way to winning a NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race at Watkins Glen International, Sunday, in Watkins Glen, N.Y. Carl Edwards, Sam Hornish Jr. and Jimmie Johnson rounded out the top 10.

Tony Stewart, who qualified third, was competing at Watkins Glen for the first time after missing the previous two Cup races at the track. He was nursing a broken right leg two years ago and sat out last year’s race after the sprint car he was driving in a race at nearby Canandaigua struck and killed 20-year-old driver Kevin Ward Jr. the night before Stewart was scheduled to race at Watkins Glen.

On Friday, Stewart again had to revisit that tragedy. Attorneys representing the Ward family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Stewart, another hurdle in what has been a season without much hope until recently, and Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of Ward’s death.

Stewart, a five-time winner at The

Glen, was greeted warmly by fans during driver introductions but finished last after his car broke a rear gear midway through the 90-lap race.

In the last road race of his NASCAR career, Jeff Gordon had brake problems and finished 41st to take another big hit in points.

The race turned on strategy. Martin Truex Jr., who started second, pitted after a red flag just past the midpoint of the race as the top drivers stayed out.

Harvick, who pitted two laps before Truex, then gained the lead on a restart on Lap 61, passing Kenseth and pulling out to a lead of over a halfsecond with Truex third.

Harvick’s crew told him he was two laps short on fuel as the race wound down, but he did enough conserving to salvage a podium finish.

“I thought I’d done a pretty good job

of saving fuel under the caution,” Harvick said. “Really, I was just running as fast as I needed to. Once the 22 got there, I had to pick up the pace.”

Truex’s chances disappeared when he suffered a flat left front tire and was forced to pit with 22 laps left around the 2.45-mile natural terrain course.

He finished 25th.

Busch had to pit from the lead with just over 30 laps left and dropped deep in the field. He then steadily mounted an aggressive charge back and got past Harvick for second after the final turn.

“I ran hard that whole run,” said Busch, who has won four races since coming back from a broken leg and foot suffered in an Xfinity race at Daytona in February that forced him to miss the first 11 races of the Cup season. “I never quite got close enough to him. I couldn’t afford to run out of gas.”

Canada’s Cochrane wins bronze in 1,500-metre freestyle KAZAN, Russia — Victoria’s Ryan Cochrane won bronze in the 1,500-metre freestyle at the world swimming championships on Sunday night in a race that went off without two-time defending champion Sun Yang of China.

Vancouver’s Emily Overholt added to Canada’s medal haul with a bronze in the women’s 400 individual medley.

Gregorio Paltrinieri of Italy won gold in the 1,500, taking the lead from Cochrane at 500 metres and controlling the pace the rest of the way to touch in 14 minutes, 39.67 seconds.

Connor Jaeger of the United States finished second in 14:41.20. Cochrane, who won bronze in the 1,500 distance at the London 2012 Olympics, was under world-record pace through 400 metres but finished in 14:51.08.

Sunday’s result combined with Cochrane’s 400-m bronze from earlier in the meet, brings his all-time medal total to eight, the best in Canadian history.

WORLD SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS It was the fourth straight medal in the event for the 26-year-old Cochrane.

“I’m really happy to get my fourth medal in a row,” he said. “It’s obviously not the colour I wanted and it was a bit of an open field. ... It’s great to get on the podium again, it’s not what I wanted, but it kind of incites some extra fire within for the Olympic year.”

Sun didn’t appear for the introductions and there was no immediate explanation for the Olympic champion’s absence.

Lane 3 remained empty instead of being filled by reserve Pal Joensen of the Faroe Islands.

FINA spokesman Pedro Adrega said Chinese team officials told him Sun felt a “chest sensation” during warmups.

“As there was not enough time to evaluate the situation or to check his medical condition, they decided to withdraw,” he said.

Cochrane said he saw Sun in the

warmup pool before the race.

“We all thought he would just show up late, so when he didn’t it was surprising,” he said.

“We would have liked the best field possible but it was still a pretty hard race.”

Overholt placed third in the women’s 400 IM with a Canadian record time of 4:32.52. Katinka Hosszu of Hungary made a run at the world record

before falling short on the last freestyle lap. She won in 4:30.39, after being 3.81 under world-record pace after five laps.

Maya DiRado of the United States finished second.

Overholt set a new personal best to qualify for the 400 IM final. Her swim of 4:35.86 dropped more than two seconds from her previous mark and was just 0.02 short of the Canadian record held by Tanya Hunks. The 17-year-old finished 4:35.33 at last month’s Pan Am Games in Toronto but the result was wiped out due to a disqualification.

Arsenal opens with loss behind Cech errors

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Two mistakes by new goalkeeper Petr Cech sent a muchhyped Arsenal side crashing to a 2-0 defeat at home to West Ham, while Liverpool’s start to the new Premier League season ended with a late 1-0 win at Stoke on Sunday.

Cech arrived from Chelsea with a reputation for keeping clean sheets, but a header from Cheikhou Kouyate in the 43rd minute and a low shot by Mauro Zarate in the 57th minute unexpectedly beat the 33-year-old keeper.

There was little goalmouth action at Stoke until Liverpool’s Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho scored with a ferocious shot from 25 metres in the 86th minute.

The points were shared at St. James’ Park, where a Newcastle side under new coach Steve McClaren drew 2-2 with Southampton in the day’s other game.

Arsenal toiled in the sunshine at Emirates Stadium, dominating possession but lacking ideas against a West Ham side that has been playing competitive pre-season football in the Europa League under new manager Slaven Bilic.

“We were not convincing offensively, nor defensively,” Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told Sky Sports. “I knew before the game it would be a tricky game, that West Ham could be more advanced in their preparation than us.

“But you feel guilty, because if you cannot win the game — don’t lose it. I believe that just before halftime and just after halftime we gave very, very cheap goals away and then we made it even more difficult for ourselves.”

Tipped to be title challengers this season after winning two consecutive FA Cups and beating champion Chelsea 1-0 in the Community Shield a week ago, Arsenal’s league opener was a reality check.

“We have to keep our focus,” Wenger said.

“It’s just the start of the season. I’m convinced that we will respond well to that accident.”

Blame for those accidents is bound to rest on Cech, after he rushed out to clear a free kick but his gloves arrived second to Kouyate’s head. Arsenal’s marquee signing for a reported fee of about 11 million pounds ($17.3 million) was then wrong-footed by Zarate’s shot

from outside the area.

“Any championship is never a motorway,” Wenger said. “It’s always (about) responding well to accidents.

Today we have been hurt mentally and it’s a good opportunity to show we respond.”

Bilic had no doubts about the impact of Sunday’s victory, which also saw an impressive debut from the youngest West Ham player to appear in the Premier League — 16-year-old

defender Reece Oxford.

“It’s a great start for us,” Bilic said.

“Not only because of the three points, but it’s three points against a team that is one of the main contenders for the title this year and that had done really well in the preseason.

“And if you to add that, that it’s a London derby and in the last five years we lost all the games home or away against them, that makes it even bigger.”

Liverpool also faced a big game of sorts, taking on a Stoke side that had humiliated the Reds in their final game of last season — inflicting a 6-1 defeat on Brendan Rodgers’ team.

The tables were turned on Sunday by Coutinho’s moment of magic, when the Brazilian took possession and shrugged off a challenge before unleashing a booming shot that grazed the tips of Jack Butland’s gloves on its way in.

“I think we showed a different type of will and different character than obviously the last time we were here,” Rodgers said. “We defended really, really well, and good organization, and we knew that if we could hold the game and stay tight, then obviously as the game wore on our quality can come through.

“It worked perfectly for us and I thought the players were outstanding. ... And it was a wonderful, wonderful goal.”

McClaren, meanwhile, had to settle for a point in a game where both sides had the lead for a while.

Goals from Papiss Cisse and new signing Gini Wijnaldum put Newcastle in command after Graziano Pelle’s 24th-minute opener for the visitors.

But substitute Shane Long rose to power home a cross from the Dusan Tadic with 11 minutes to go to secure a point.

The first round of matches concludes on Monday night, when Manchester City travels to West Bromwich Albion.

Vikings win battle of backups in NFL’s Hall of Fame Game NFL PRESEASON

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Vikings 14 Steelers 3 CANTON, Ohio — Teddy Bridgewater didn’t want to talk about the completions. Last the Minnesota quarterback checked, getting the ball where it needs to go is the main part of his job.

It’s that one miss, however, that will stick with the reigning Rookie of the Year.

Bridgewater’s only series in a 14-3 victory over Pittsburgh in the Hall of Fame game Sunday ended up with the Vikings getting stuffed on fourth down after Bridgewater failed to complete a simple flip to Mike Wallace on third down that would have given Minnesota first-and-goal.

“It’s one of those deals where it’s good to stay within the system,” Bridgewater said. “If I hit Mike, we avoid fourth down.”

Maybe Bridgewater is being picky after going 5 of 6 for 44 yards during his cameo, but with an extra preseason game this summer, the Vikings and their emerging leader have plenty of time to work on it.

Backup quarterback Mike Kafka threw a touchdown pass and running back Joe Banyard ran for another score long after Bridgewater exited as the Vikings improved to 5-0 in exhibitions under second-year coach Mike Zimmer.

“Wish I was 5-0 in the regular sea-

Both teams have a month before things start to count for real, giving the annual exhibition opener an even more pedestrian feel.

Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis waved a “Terrible Towel” during pregame introductions, with the decidedly proPittsburgh crowd roaring its approval, the only moment of true star power on a night the bold-faced names still in

uniform didn’t break a sweat if they even bothered to suit up at all.

Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson’s return from a lengthy suspension will have to wait at least one more week, if not decidedly longer. He hung out on the sideline while the backups did the heavy lifting.

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger stuck to attire more appropriate for the gym. All-Pro running back

Le’Veon Bell and All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown put together a full dress rehearsal, even going through warm-ups then spent four quarters as spectators, the only exercise the notoriously hard-working Brown enjoyed coming while he absentmindedly worked the exercise bike.

Bridgewater deftly guided the Vikings on a 10-play, 51-yard drive in the first quarter, hitting tight end Kyle Rudolph for a pair of 11-yard gains. Rather than attempt a short field goal on fourth-and-1 from the 10, Zimmer opted to go for it only to see Jerick McKinnon stopped for no gain by nose tackle Steve McLendon, one of the handful of Pittsburgh regulars to actually take the field.

With Roethlisberger given the night off and usual backup Bruce Gradkowski dealing with a sore arm, the Steelers gave third-stringer Jones an extensive look. The leading passer in Oklahoma history is trying to convince the team to keep three quarterbacks on the roster.

While coach Mike Tomlin said early in camp Jones was on the “incline” he was going to reserve judgment until after seeing Jones face guys in differentcolour jerseys.

The early returns weren’t exactly promising after the Steelers failed to produce a touchdown or generate much momentum with Jones under centre.

“I just wanted to see a winning performance,” Tomlin said. “We come into these situations to win. August or no, that’s what we’re looking for — not only in (Jones) but all of us collectively.

He’s got room for improvement.”

With Smith gone, rookie Eli Harold has to learn quick on 49ers defence

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Eli Harold came to work Friday morning and was hit quickly with the realization there would be no more easing into his rookie season with the San Francisco 49ers.

Harold, the team’s third-round draft pick, had been taking snaps during training camp this month at outside linebacker behind Aldon Smith, one of the NFL’s premier edge pass rushers.

But Smith was released by the 49ers on Friday morning, leaving Harold with an accelerated learning curve and revised expectations that he may need to contribute quickly.

“I was initially shocked,” Harold said Sunday. “I was learning a lot from that guy. In my eyes, he was the best pass rusher in the NFL. It’s just unfortunate. We lost a gem. He was a guy I definitely looked to in all the time I was here.”

The 49ers felt they found a gem in Harold when he slipped to them in the draft after a dominant junior season at Virginia. They selected him even though they already were stocked at outside linebacker with Smith, twotime Pro Bowler Ahmad Brooks and 2014 rookie Aaron Lynch. Brooks and Lynch tied for the team lead with six sacks last season, when Smith missed nine games because of an NFL suspension.

Brooks and Lynch are competing for playing time at left outside linebacker, leaving Harold and holdover veteran Corey Lemonier to fill the void left by Smith on the right side.

First-year 49ers defensive co-ordinator Eric Mangini believes the talent and flexibility at the position that has been bolstered by Harold can help compensate for the loss of Smith’s talent, which produced 42 sacks in his first 43 games.

“A guy like Aldon, it’s not a guy that you just can replace,” Mangini said.

“He’s got a unique skill set. But one of the things we focus on defensively is building flexibility in terms of what we can play and who’s going to play there.

“We’re moving those parts around to play left and right so we wouldn’t have to play guys in the same spot the whole time. We can’t easily replace someone of (Smith’s) calibre, but we’ll find ways collectively to get that done and it’s a great opportunity for guys who may have had more limited roles had he been here.”

Harold is one of those guys, and Mangini was quick to praise the rookie when asked about his progress.

“Eli’s shown some real promise here early,” Mangini said.

“He’s got a tremendous motor and he’s intensely competitive. He’s one of those guys that you want to tell them to hurry, but don’t rush because he’s so quick off the ball and so quick to read and react.”

Harold’s speed and intensity already were a topic of conversation during the first week of camp before Smith’s arrest. Harold also made an impression Sunday, when the 49ers practiced in full pads and had live contact during goal-line team drills.

Harold was in the middle of it all.

“Eli Harold, he came in beeping,” 49ers coach Jim Tomsula said. “Rookie going through it, we’ve all seen it, the ups and downs. But he hasn’t had the downs. Eli is an energetic guy and he’s doing a really good job. I think everybody sees what we saw in him and why we drafted him. He’s one really athletic, competitive individual.”

And he’s just getting started. With Smith gone, Harold is taking full advantage of all his other resources. After Sunday’s practice, he huddled with offensive tackle Joe Staley to get the veteran’s perspective on pass rushing

from the other side, prompting Staley to say, “we’re excited about the way he approaches the game.”

Harold also is eager to get more pointers from former 49ers pass rusher Charles Haley, who was inducted Saturday into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Haley worked with both Smith and Harold at the 49ers training complex in May, teaching both about some of the finer details of excelling from the defensive edge.

“I anticipate him coming back again because I really could use his help,” Harold said.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rivard could win seven medals in pool PARAPAN AM GAMES

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; She travels the planet as one of Paralympic swimmingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brightest young stars, and has already stood atop numerous international medal podiums.

But Aurelie Rivard looks forward to the day she can do what other teenagers take for granted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; text with two hands.

The 19-year-old from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., who was born with an underdeveloped left hand, could win seven medals at the Parapan American Games this week.

She started off the Games on Sunday by winning silver in her first event, swimming the SB9 100-metre breaststroke in one minute 21.90 seconds. The Games come on the heels of a world championship performance that saw her win two gold and two silver.

And the punctuation mark to an outstanding year will come in September, when she gets her first-ever prosthetic hand, custom-matched to her skin tone and complete with heated sensors in the fingertips for texting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know they could do that,â&#x20AC;? Rivard marvelled.

Rivard turned down an offer for a prosthetic hand several years ago, saying the quality wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t great, and it would have restricted the movement in her wrist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But a couple of months ago I saw a girl and she had a fake hand, and I thought â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Oh, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so cool,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rivard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to have the feeling of two hands that I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually going to help me a little bit more because my right arm is getting a bit tired, my shoulder has issues, injuries sometimes, so it will just motivate me to carry my books with my left hand,

or just a purse or something.â&#x20AC;?

Rivard and her twin sister Charlotte grew up swimming, starting when they were just a year old.

Rivard credits sports with helping her overcome an anxiety disorder she developed as a 10-year-old that was so debilitating, she was afraid to leave the house alone. Sleepovers often caused panic attacks.

In retrospect, she believes it was partly related to her disability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I felt different,â&#x20AC;? Rivard said.

Her anxiety was so overwhelming before races, she would vomit on the pool deck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But swimming, high-level sport, completely changed me, because I was facing my fears every single day,â&#x20AC;? Rivard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to travel the world by myself, in (countries with) other languages, in other cultures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, it saved me from this sort of anxious life. Over the years, I just gained a lot of self-confidence and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not anxious anymore at all, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of confidence, and today I like sharing my experience with other young swimmers. . . I tell them they can get through this and have a better life.â&#x20AC;?

Rivard should be one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest stars in the pool at next summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paralympics in Rio. She made her Paralympic debut in 2012 in London, winning the silver medal in the 400 freestyle at just 16.

At the recent world championships in Glasgow, she won the 50 and 400-metre freestyle events, and was second in the 200 individual medley and 100 freestyle.

The Parapan Am Games represent a new challenge; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never competed in seven events. Her goal for the Games? Seven medals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And as much gold as possible,â&#x20AC;? she said, laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be tough, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to have to work hard, but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite achievable.â&#x20AC;?

There was no shortage of medals for Canadian swimmers on Day 2 of Parapan Am competition.

Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morgan Bird won gold medals in the S8 400-metre freestyle and 50 freestyle while Nicolas

Turbide of Quebec City led a Canadian sweep in the S12-S13 100 backstroke. Montrealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Devin Gotell was second while Tyler Mrak of Aldergrove, B.C., was third.

Zack McAllister, from Lethbridge, Alta., won the S8 50 freestyle with Chris Sergeant-Tsonos of Kingston, Ont., coming third.

James Leroux, of Repentigny, Que., led another Canadian sweep in the S9 100 breaststroke. Montrealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Issac Bouckley took silver while Alec Elliot, of Kitchener, Ont., claimed bronze.

McAllister and Zach Zona, of Waterford, Ont., had already made a podium appearance during the morning session, finishing second and third in the S8 400 freestyle.

Sabrina Duchesne, of Quebec City, won bronze in the S8 400 freestyle while Montrealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sarah Girard was third in the SB9 100 breaststroke, just behind Rivard. Katarina Roxon of Kippens, N.L., won silver in the S9 400 freestyle and the Canadian 4x50 20-point mixed relay team of Tammy Cunnington, of Red Deer, Daniel Murphy, of Bedford, N.S., Adam Purdy of London, Ont., and Valerie Drapeau, of Longueuil, Que., finished third.

Canada opens FIBA Americas with win

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team has picked up right where they left off from the Pan American Games.

Captain Kim Gaucher tied for the team lead with 11 points as the Canadians beat Puerto Rico 94-57 in their opening game of the FIBA Americas womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball championship on Sunday.

Canada, fresh off its gold medal win over the United States at the Pan Ams in Toronto, led 30-22 after the first quarter thanks in part to an early eight points in the first five minutes by Gaucher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a strong start offensively for us,â&#x20AC;? Canadian coach Lisa Thomaidis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a bit sloppy in the second half and the turnovers mounted, but that tends to happen when you get some separation on the board. Overall it was a good first game for us.â&#x20AC;?

The Canadians extended their lead to 56-29 at the half and to 79-41 after the third quarter.

Miah-Marie Langlois and Lizanne Murphy also had 11 points for Canada, which entered the tournament ranked third in the Americas and 10th in the world. Kia Nurse added 10 points.

Gaucher said it felt good to get the first game of the tournament out of the way.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to come out and set the tone and I think we did that, offensively,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just need to do it better defensively as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to work on having a more consistent 40-minute effort, but it was a good start, for sure.â&#x20AC;?

Jennifer Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill and Marie Placido led the way with 12 points apiece for Puerto Rico â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ranked seventh in the Americas and 28th in the world ratings.

Only the winner of the FIBA Americas tournament was slated to gain automatic entry straight through to next summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Earlier Sunday, it was announced that Brazil would be granted automatic entry as the Olympic host. A decision was handed down in Tokyo that the Brazil Basketball Confederation would make good on an outstanding debt to FIBA. As a result, if the Brazilian women should happen to merge victorious in Edmonton, the second place team will earn the berth to Rio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to win every game, regardless of whether Brazil is in or not in,â&#x20AC;? Thomaidis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate, waiting so long to get the decision. It kept some teams hanging. But the mission is still the same for us regardless of that decision. Having said that, it is always nice to know that they are in.â&#x20AC;?

Canada will now face Chile (ranked sixth in Americas, 26th in the world) on Monday.

Koden Stott of Lacombe crawls through the water and mud filled trench on the children’s course.

Mud Hero Photos and story by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff Thousands of runners, up to their eyeballs in mud got down and dirty over the weekend during the Mud Hero Alberta at Canyon Ski Resort east of Red Deer. The three day event had participants starting in waves Friday afternoon, and all day Saturday and Sunday.

In its third year at the Red Deer venue this Mud Hero event with its six kilometres of challenging terrain 18 obstacles and a giant, finish line mud pit, is the largest obstacle mud run in Canada says company co-founder Adam Ruppel.

We’ve created the “Worlds Most Epic Mud Pit” says Ruppel, “about 350 feet long with 70 dump trucks of

sifted top soil and what we’ve seen from any other event we have ever done nobody has ever built anything this epic” said Ruppel. The final obstacle will of course feature lots of mud and water as well as tunnels and trenches and a final mud crawl to the finish line.

“This venue is spectacular” says Ruppel. “Our original venue was out toward Kananaskis where we held our first Mud Hero in Alberta and parks said our event was too large and somebody suggested looking at Red Deer and we did not realize this natural beauty was here”.

The location far exceeded our expectations the first year said Ruppel as the central location between Edmonton and Calgary drew in thousands of participants from both major city’s as well as the Red Deer region.

Mud Hero will host seven events this summer with two events in the Toronto region, and one event in each Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax and Red Deer.

TransCanada braces for Obama rejection

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE

WASHINGTON — The Canadian company involved in the controversy-plagued Keystone XL pipeline project has begun planning its response to an anticipated rejection of the project by U.S. President Barack Obama.

In its public statements, TransCanada Corp. is expressing hope Obama might still approve the pipeline, which over the course of its years-long delay has become an irritant between the U.S. and Canadian governments.

But people close to the project say the company has become all but convinced a rejection is imminent based on signals the White House is sending publicly and privately — and it’s now considering the next move.

One possible response is a challenge under the North American Free Trade Agreement to recoup damages from the U.S. government. Another is immediately re-filing a permit application with the U.S. State Department before the 2016 presidential election.

One source involved in the project said the company is consulting lawyers on the mechanics of a NAFTA challenge, and weighing the legal and political implications.

He said the main suspense now is how Obama will make his big announcement — quietly, in a mid-summer Friday afternoon statement, or boldly from a platform like his upcoming Aug. 31 trip to a climatechange conference in Alaska.

“There’s a broad acceptance that the decision’s been made,” he said, adding that different White

House employees had suggested a rejection’s coming.

“The rumour is that the decision to deny has been made, and they’re just waiting for the right time and venue.”

He said the company would not likely reveal its next move on the day of the Obama announcement: “I think the most likely scenario is we’ll let it cool for a while. And then we’d have this more vigorous discussion.”

One aspect of that internal discussion is the political calculus — and whether fanning the flames during the 2016 American election would help the project, or harm it.

Keystone could easily become a 2016 issue, with Republicans already accusing Democratic stalling of hurting the economy, energy security, and relations with next-door neighbour Canada. Meanwhile, Democrats have been pushing their party frontrunner Hillary Clinton to state her position on the US$8 billion project.

One expert said he’d advise the company to hold off, and hope a more pipeline-friendly administration takes office in 2017. The U.S. government has a 13-0 record in NAFTA cases. A suit would likely fail, cost the company a few million dollars, and possibly antagonize the U.S. government, said David Gantz, who was been a panelist on NAFTA cases and who teaches trade law at the University of Arizona.

“I think it’s a fairly long shot, it’s an expensive way to do a long shot, and it doesn’t seem to me to be something they’re very likely to do,” said Gantz.

“They can talk about doing it but my guess is once they have consulted with counsel... they will decide it’s — if not a long shot, then well under a 50-50 chance.”

He said the company could try filing under NAFTA’s articles 1102, 1105 or 1110 — which deal with discrimination, unfair or arbitrary treatment and expropriation.

But another expert said the company might as well try. She said a recent decision against the Canadian government in the Bilcon case involving a Nova Scotia quarry could give TransCanada some hope.

“Why not? And see where it goes,” said Debra Steger, who was the first director of the World Trade Organization’s appellate body, and now teaches law at the University of Ottawa.

The White House hasn’t said when it will make a Keystone announcement, or what that announcement might be. However, it hasn’t denied a claim by U.S. Sen. John Hoeven that a rejection is coming this month.

The pipeline is also being fought in court in Nebraska. One opponent there said TransCanada should just let it go. ”No matter what they try, not an ounce of TransCanada’s toxic pipeline will touch Nebraska’s soil,” said Jane Kleeb. ”At some point, TransCanada’s investors are going to fire the CEO for wasting billions of dollars and years on a pipeline going nowhere.”

TransCanada CEO Russ Girling hasn’t speculated publicly on next steps. He recently said TransCanada will employ whatever means necessary to protect its shareholders and its shareholder value, but for now is focusing on getting a permit approved by Obama.

BRIEF Vice Media’s digital editorial staff join union, latest in a wave

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Colin Dobell, President and CEO of Inuktun, a maker of modular mobile robotic crawler vehicles, based in Nanaimo, B.C., Wednesday. Colin stands with the Versatrax 150 Vertical Crawler. The remotely operated aluminum robotic crawler is extremely durable and fully submersible for underwater applications and it’s used in the oil and gas industry to inspect inside pipelines using independent track system and standard and high definition cameras.

Agile robots crawling where humans can’t

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS What started as a fun project for two techies on Vancouver Island more than 25 years ago has now become an industry leader in robotic crawlers.

Inuktun Services Ltd.’s remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, have combed through the radioactive wreckage of a tsunami-hit nuclear plant in Japan, assisted in search and rescue efforts after the Sept.

11 terror attacks, and are being used by the U.S. military.

But despite its international success, the Nanaimo, B.C.-based company remains little known at home. That’s largely because most of its products are sold outside of Canada, said company CEO Colin Dobell.

“We’re not really well-known locally and that’s OK,” he said in a phone interview from the company’s head office.

“We’re more export than anything...oil and gas and nuclear would be our two biggest markets. But we get into a lot of other kind of oddball stuff too that we never even imagined our equipment would be used for.”

Inuktun’s agile robots are used to access confined spaces and hazardous environments that humans can’t.

Their clients range from Pacific Gas and Electric Co., which used crawlers to inspect inside a natural gas pipe after a fatal pipeline explosion in California five years ago, to Starbucks, which bought cameras to inspect coffee beans on a conveyor.

Earlier this year, Inuktun announced it was sending a custom snake-like crawler to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to assess the damage from 2011’s massive earthquake and tsunami.

After the 9/11 attacks “we sent robotic equipment to Ground Zero to do search and rescue and search and recovery efforts,” Dobell said.

“A few years ago, we sold a whole bunch of equipment to the U.S. military to actually use in cross-border tunnel investigation in U.S.-Mexico borders and also overseas in the Middle East.”

But Dobell said the most compelling stuff is top secret. The company is kept quiet by big-name clients that don’t want the public to know what they’re using the technology for.

NEW YORK — Vice Media’s digital editorial staff are joining a union — the latest in a wave of digital staffers voting to unionize.

The Writers Guild of America, East said Friday that the next step is negotiating a collective bargaining agreement with Vice management.

Vice CEO Shane Smith said he supported the writers’ decision to unionize.

“As an old grey-haired man all I want is for my beautiful Vice family to be happy — those writers who voted to unionize and those who did not,” he said in a statement.

Begun in 1994 as an alternative magazine, New York-based Vice Media has expanded into a global media company with offices in 30 countries and online news and video channels.

Over the summer, Gawker Media and Salon employees also joined the union. Guardian U.S. editorial staffers joined The NewsGuild-CWA. Before that, no digital media sites had been unionized.

The Associated Press, The New York Times and other newspaper staffers have union representation.

The Writers Guild of America, East is part of the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of labour unions in the United States. It represents writers in movies, TV, cable, digital media and broadcast news.

Uber says it accepted by mistake a driver now accused of sexually assaulting female passenger DALLAS — Uber says an internal investigation found it mistakenly granted driver status to a man now accused of sexually assaulting a female passenger.

WFAA-TV of Dallas-Fort Worth reports Uber Dallas General Manager Leandre Johns revealed the problem in a letter to Dallas code compliance officials.

Johns said Talal Ali Chammout (shah-MOOT’) presented a fake city permit to obtain Uber approval as a driver.

He said since the permit was accepted as genuine, Uber thought he had already passed a city background check, so the company did not perform one of its own.

Officials say Chammout, because of a felony on his record, would have failed the Dallas background check. Records show Chammout was released in 2012 after serving time on a federal weapons charge.

Save auto expenses through sharing Automobiles are expensive modes of transportation.

According to the Power Information Network, the average price of a new car in Canada today is around $33,000. The Canadian Automobile Association’s (CAA) driving cost calculator puts the average yearly cost to drive a compact car like a Honda Civic 20,000 km a year in Ontario at about $9,200 for fuel and insurance, licence, registration, depreciation and maintenance.

Move up to a mid-size car like a Nissan Altima and the cost for the privilege of driving your own car accelerates TALBOT up to $10,726.

BOGGS Moving up another notch to a full-size model like the Chrysler 300 will set you back $12,776 a year and an executive model like an Audi A6 comes with a yearly operating price tag of $19,235.

An SUV like a Chevy Equinox will siphon $12,953 each year from your budget.

It doesn’t always make sense to own a car. Not only are they expensive they also can be inconvenient, particularly in a city with limited parking and lots of choices for alternative transit.

One of those alternatives is car sharing which has

MONEYWISE

been growing in popularity over the last few years.

Car sharing originated in Europe where many larger cities are highly congested and came to Canada in the mid-1990s. It allows you to rent a car on a short-term, as needed basis paying for the time you have the vehicle and the mileage you drive.

Drivers join a club that owns a large fleet of cars and then pay a usage fee whenever they want to drive those cars.

Any single car in the fleet might be used by hundreds of people who pay a flat fee per hour or day but they never have to worry about maintenance, the price of gas or insurance.

There are one-way and two-way car sharing business models.

In the original two-way model club members pay a token annual membership fee and then pay an hourly or daily rate to collect a car from a designated parking space and then return it to the same place.

The newer one-way model allows pre-registered drivers to search for the nearest car on their smartphone, book it and pay for it by the minute, then leave it wherever they wish within a designated area when they’re finished.

There are a number of advantages to car sharing including more careful consideration of the necessity, duration and distance of trips resulting in decreased use of the vehicle, greater consideration to alternative modes of transportation such as transit, biking and walking, cost and energy savings and air quality benefits.

How prevalent is car sharing? The Transportation

Sustainability Research Centre (TSRC) in Berkeley, CA reports that as of October 2012 car sharing was operating in 27 countries and five continents accounting for an estimated 1,788,000 members sharing approximately 43,550 vehicles.

As of January 2014, 224,523 members shared 4,174 vehicles among 19 car sharing organizations in Canada and in the U.S. 24 car sharing programs claimed 1,228,573 members sharing 17,179 vehicles.

Besides car sharing, the CAA suggests some other measures you can take to still enjoy driving without buying a car.

If you just want to drive offer yourself to a delivery service like Canada DriveAway or Cars to Florida.

You have three days to deliver a vehicle to someone in the U.S. or take it home for them and you’ll earn a few hundred dollars in the process to cover your expenses.

Go around a dealership showroom and take a car or two out for a test drive.

You need a licence and a sales person might come along with you for the ride.

You can always rent a car if you need one or simply borrow a friend’s car, although if anything happens and you’re in an accident you might lose a friend.

Kinder Morgan pulls Trans Mountain pipeline ads during election campaign

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Kinder Morgan will pull advertising for its proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion during the federal election campaign, after a British Columbia New Democrat seeking re-election complained about a flurry of ads in local newspapers.

Kennedy Stewart sent a letter to Canada’s elections commissioner earlier this week. He said if the company wants to promote a position on an election issue, it must register with Elections Canada as a third-party advertiser subject to spending limits.

“I have a very tough fight against my opponent in my riding,” said Stewart, who is running in a Vancouver-area riding.

“The last thing I need is multi-national companies also advertising during the election. Let’s just have a fair playing field.”

Stewart said he has not heard back from the commissioner, Yves Cote, but he called the office on Friday to confirm staff had received the letter and he was told the deputy commissioner was looking into it.

A spokeswoman for the Trans Mountain expansion said election officials had not contacted the company, but it has decided not to run advertising — in any format or community — until

after the Oct. 19 vote.

“The information doesn’t advocate for any particular party, policy or position,” said Lizette Parsons Bell in a statement on Saturday.

“However, with the call of the election last weekend, we are rescheduling and the current series of advertising will end this weekend, due to the sensitivities around all forms of advertising.”

Parsons Bell added the advertising had been in the market since September 2014 and was designed to “engage with and provide information to as many British Columbians as possible” about the company’s history and safety.

Kinder Morgan hopes to triple the bitumen-carrying capacity of the Trans Mountain line by laying almost 1,000 kilometres of new pipe between Edmonton and Burnaby, increasing the number of tankers in Burrard Inlet to 34 from the current five per month.

The elections commissioner did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Canada Elections Act states third-party advertising includes any message that “takes a position on an issue with which a registered party or candidate is associated.”

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has pushed for oil sands development and pipeline growth, while NDP leader Tom Mulcair has been more cautious on the topic.

Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Five things to watch for in Canadian business this week: Alberta royalties and climate change: The Alberta government is expected to provide an update this week on its expert panels that will review policies on climate change and oil and gas royalty rates.

The province’s oilpatch will be watching closely.

Housing: Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. releases its July housing starts on Tuesday.

The figures come weeks after the Bank of Canada cut its key interest rate to 0.5 per cent and amid concerns that the real estate market may be due for a correction in Vancouver and Toronto.

Rona: Home renovation company

Rona reports its second-quarter results on Tuesday. The Quebec-based retailer said last month it was eliminating its franchise structure by purchasing 20 stores in an effort to more effectively compete with its rivals in the U.S. Air Canada: Canada’s largest airline will release its second-quarter results on Wednesday. Air Canada has recently reported record traffic and profits, and while higher baggage fees have drawn the ire of some passengers, it says they’re here to stay.

Manufacturing: Statistics Canada will release its manufacturing sales figures for June on Friday.

In May, manufacturing sales edged up 0.1 per cent, driven by increases in sectors including aerospace parts, petroleum and coal.

Instant coffee demand brings Vietnam up the value chain HANOI, Vietnam — The mantle of biggest robusta grower isn’t enough for Vietnam. It wants to be known as an instant coffee maker, stocking tins and jars on shelves across the world.

Nestle and Olam International have already invested in coffee-processing facilities in the country to tap into surging instant-coffee demand as Vietnam seeks to boost export earnings by shipping more processed products.

About 15 percent of its total output will be used to make the soluble variety by 2020, about three times the current level, according to the Agriculture Ministry.

Global instant coffee consumption surged 62 percent in the past decade, beating a 20 percent increase in roasted and ground beans, U.S. Department of Agriculture data show.

Annual demand will rise about 3 percent in the next three to five years, Olam estimates, amid growing appeal in emerging markets for the ease of getting a brew ready by simply adding hot water.

“In Asia especially, the convenience of instant coffee is appealing to customers who are increasingly getting into the habit of a quick pick-me-up,” said Vivek Verma, managing director and global head of coffee, dairy and commodity financial services at Olam.

“In many emerging markets there is an implied social status from consuming coffee, which is seen as a premium, higher-end product and activity.”

Robusta futures in London slumped 15 percent from the start of this year, erasing last year’s gain of 14 percent.

World coffee consumption grew 2.3 percent annually between 2011 and 2014, International Coffee Organization data show. While demand in traditional markets grew 1.5 percent, emerging markets rose 4.6 percent. The global soluble coffee market expanded to about $5.5 billion last year from $3.65 billion in 2007, according to Olam.

Instant coffee accounts for 14 percent of global consumption, according to the USDA. Vietnam is the fifth-biggest shipper, trailing Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, and India, USDA data show.

The country boosted its share of global

exports to 9.1 percent from 1.8 percent five years ago. Top exporter Brazil accounted for 24 percent from 29 percent, according to the data.

“We are the second-biggest producer and exporter of coffee in the world, but if we go around Europe, America, Asia, it’s rare to come across coffee carrying the name Vietnam,” Agriculture Minister Cao Duc Phat said at a conference in March. “Our added value is very little.”

Vietnam can boost soluble-coffee output because of its lower manufacturing and labor costs as well as the availability of robusta coffee, said Carlos Mera Arzeno, an analyst at Rabobank International. The country is also close to the growing Asian market, Olam’s Verma said in an email. The company has an instant-coffee manufacturing plant in the southern province of Long An that began commercial production in 2010 and was expanded in 2012.

Nestle, which has a manufacturing complex with total investment of $270 million in Dong Nai province, started making instant coffee in Vietnam in 1997. Other companies with soluble coffee plants include the Vietnam unit of India’s biggest coffee exporter, CCL Products (India) Ltd., and local firms like Trung Nguyen Group Corp. and Vinacafe Bien Hoa Joint-Stock Co. Vietnam faces export competition.

India’s coffee shipments are set to increase the most in four years in the year through March 2016, the Coffee Exporters Association of India predicts. Exports from Vietnam in the first seven months slumped 33 percent to the lowest since 2010, government data show.

Other Asian countries are adding instant coffee capacity, Olam’s Verma said, citing recent investments in Malaysia, Laos, Indonesia, China, India and South Korea. Brazil is expected to continue dominating bulk instant-coffee supply over the next five to eight years due to its competitive currency, expertise and processing volume, he said. Closer to home, Vietnam is promoting local coffee demand, especially among young people, to boost the ratio of domestic consumption to more than 25 percent of output by 2030 from less than 10 percent currently, according to the agriculture ministry.

The company no longer does underwater work — it sold that technology off to a company in the U.S. — and is now focusing on confined space crawl-

ers, cameras and inspection equipment. Domestic sales typically account for less than 10 per cent of Inuktun’s business, Dobell said.

How Arby’s came to embrace Jon Stewart’s jabs

BY SARAH HALZACK SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE If you’ve been a loyal watcher of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart in recent years, you know the show has been serving up a steady diet of jokes about Arby’s.

“It’s like shock and awe for your bowels,” Stewart declared back in June. He’s also called it “the meal that’s a dare for your colon” and “the only food classified as a war crime.”

And yet, as Stewart wrapped up 16 years as host of the Comedy Central show last week, Arby’s wasn’t exactly saying good riddance. The fast-food sandwich chain sponsored the penultimate episode, which featured two custom commercials, and had its chief executive, Paul Brown, appear in a taped send-off segment in the finale.

Arby’s was worried when it first heard Stewart’s cracks back in 2013, said Christopher Fuller, the chain’s vice president of brand and corporate communications.

“It was that moment where everyone was kind of getting together in a room to decide, ‘How do we handle this?’ This isn’t a good mention of the brand.”

During the meeting, though, Fuller says the team decided not to try to push back against Stewart’s barbs.

Arby’s was in the midst of a revitalization of its brand, which the company has said has the oldest customer base in the industry, and executives thought maybe a bit of publicity — even if it wasn’t exactly favorable — might not be a bad thing. Fuller said the thinking was: “This is a brand that in a lot of ways is a sleeping giant, and we haven’t been in the conversation, so there’s an opportunity here to really embrace it.”

Since then, Arby’s has tried to show it is in on the joke. In November 2013, Arby’s sent a smorgasbord of sandwiches to Stewart’s team, accompanied by a letter from Brown that contained “fun, playful language about the banter that Jon had put out there.” Fuller said they got a thank-you note from “Daily Show” producers.

And when Stewart announced earlier this year that he was leaving the show, they ribbed him on Twitter: “Jon, feel free to reach out to us at careers@arbys.com.”

Fuller said it’s hard to measure whether the publicity has had any impact on Arby’s sales, which were up 7.6 percent in the most recent quarter.

STORY FROM PAGE C2

ROBOTS: No idea When Inuktun began in B.C. in 1989, its owners had no idea they would be signing non-disclosure agreements with some of the world’s most prominent organizations.

Dobell said that part materialized “largely by accident,” after Inuktun’s co-founders Terry Knight and Al Robinson — both now retired — started the company “as kind of a fun project to take them into retirement.”

“When they started they were building these little swimming ROVs,” he said.

“The idea being you would sit on your boat, throw it over the edge and watch the crabs or chase fish or pick up the keys you dropped.”

Dobell, who came on board in 1996, said the product was too expensive for a recreational market, but got the attention of the nuclear industry, and spawned the creation of different robotic systems to meet customer demand over the years.

In this photo made Monday, April 29, 2013, Dr. Jan Brunstrom-Hernandez, left, works with cerebral palsy patient Sam Ward, 15, at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in St. Louis.

Some cerebral palsy cases caused by genetic anomalies: Study

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Cerebral palsy, the most common cause of physical disability in children, has long been thought to result from brain injury in the fetus. But new Canadian research is challenging that notion, finding that at least one in 10 cases likely has an underlying genetic cause.

“Our findings were shocking, actually,” said principal investigator Stephen Scherer, director of the Centre for Applied Genomics at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children.

So ingrained has medical dogma been around the root causes of cerebral palsy that “when I showed the results to our clinical geneticists, initially they didn’t believe it,” he said.

About two in every 1,000 babies born are affected by cerebral palsy.

An estimated 50,000 Canadian children and adults have the condition, which leads to varying degrees of motor impairment, including muscle spasticity and involuntary movements.

Symptoms can include epilepsy as well as learning, speech, hearing and visual impairments. Some with the disorder are mildly affected, while others can’t walk or communicate.

Traditionally, cerebral palsy was believed to be caused by a stroke or in-

fection of the brain in the developing fetus, or by birth asphyxia — a lack of oxygen to the infant during delivery.

But genetic testing of a group of affected children from across Canada found that in 10 per cent of cases, structural changes to the DNA appear to have given rise to the condition.

The research team, which includes physicians at the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, performed genome sequencing tests on 115 children with cerebral palsy and their parents. Ten per cent of the children were found to have DNA alterations known as copy number variations, or CNVs, that affect clinically relevant genes.

CNVs can be present as deletions, additions or reorganized segments of DNA that can lead to disease.

“In five per cent, we found these spontaneous, massive changes,” affecting dozens or even hundreds of genes in some children, said Scherer. “For five per cent, these big changes are the cause of their CP. “The other five per cent were smaller changes, but affect lots of genes and in some cases were inherited from the parents. And we think they’re involved in the medical complexities these kids have.”

The study, published Monday in the journal Nature Communications, also shows there are many different

genes involved in cerebral palsy, just as there are in autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental conditions.

“I think what’s really interesting here is that what was thought to be an almost entirely environmental disorder (caused by fetal injury or infection) has a significant genetic component,” said Scherer.

“I can’t imagine having a child who’s got any disorder and not having some type of an explanation (as to why),” he said.

“So I think it’s pretty exciting that we can actually provide for these spontaneous cases that the parents didn’t do anything wrong. They didn’t make a wrong decision in their pregnancy or eat the wrong food or expose the fetus to the wrong thing. It was just a random genetic change.”

Dr. Maryam Oskoui, a pediatric neurologist at Montreal Children’s Hospital and a study co-author, agreed parents want to know what caused their child’s cerebral palsy, but often they don’t have a clear explanation.

“For most kids we can find some risk factors — you were born early or you were exposed to this or that — but they’re always left kind of wondering: ’If I had done something differently ...’

Knowing is a big part of the process of dealing with such a diagnosis.”

BRIEF White bread, pasta could cause increased risk of depression Everyone knows that a diet full of white bread, pasta and rice is bad for your waistline. Now scientists say these types of refined carbs could also impact your mind — putting postmenopausal women at higher risk for depression.

In a new study published in the the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers looked at data from more than 70,000 women who participated in the National Institutes of Health’s women’s health initiative between 1994 and 1998.

They found that the more women consumed added sugars and refined grains and the higher their score on the glycemic index (GI) — a measure of the rate carbohydrates are broken down and absorbed by the body — the more they were at risk of new-onset depression.

Those who had a different sort of diet — one with more dietary fiber, whole grains, vegetables and non-juice fruits — had a decreased risk.

“This suggests that dietary interventions could serve as treatments and preventive measures for depression,” wrote James Gangswisch, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center, and his coauthors.

The researchers explained that refined foods trigger a hormonal response in the body to reduce blood sugar levels. That is believed to lead to the “sugar high” and subsequent “crash” some people say they feel after eating such foods. This can lead to mood changes, fatigue and other symptoms of depression.

FDA clears 3D printed tablet to treat epileptic seizures WASHINGTON - The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first prescription drug made through 3-D printing: a dissolvable tablet that treats seizures.

Aprecia Pharmaceuticals said Monday the FDA approved its drug Spritam for adults and children who suffer from certain types of seizures caused by epilepsy. The tablet is manufactured in a layered process via 3-D printing and dissolves when taken with liquid. The FDA has previously approved medical devices, including prosthetics, made with 3D printing. An agency spokeswoman confirmed the new drug is the first prescription tablet approved that uses the process.

Dogs can provide comfort near the end of life Medicine and executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviourists.

But most often, it’s about body language.

“They recognize fragile, slumped over, not moving as well,” Beaver said.

“That’s how they read each other. ...

They are great at it, and we are not.”

Some rest homes and hospices that have live-in dogs to comfort patients even use a dog’s behaviour — such as who the animal chooses to sleep with — as a sign to tell relatives to come say their goodbyes.

“A lot of resident dogs know those people and know something is different, whether the smell changes or they are moving less,” Beaver said.

Dogs also can help those dealing with other challenges.

In the book, Vogelsang introduces pets that got her through some life changes. As a little girl, her Lhasa Apso named Taffy helped her adjust to an unwanted move from New England to California.

Just after the birth of her first child, her golden retriever Emmett wouldn’t leave her alone as she struggled with postpartum depression and a new career as a veterinarian. He gave her love, as well as looks that led to some soul-searching to get the help she needed, Vogelsang said.

Later, an older Labrador retriever named Kekoa taught her to let go of un-

LOS ANGELES — For those who are dying, it’s clear why all dogs go to heaven.

They provide comfort not just in death, but in other difficult times, whether it’s depression, job loss or a move across country. Dogs know when people are dying or grieving through body language cues, smells only they can detect and other ways not yet known, experts say.

As a hospice veterinarian, Jessica Vogelsang knows how much “being there” can mean to struggling people or pets. She’s director of Paws Into Grace in Southern California, a group of vets who provide end-of-life care and euthanasia for pets at home.

The San Diego vet finished her first book, “All Dogs Go to Kevin: Everything Three Dogs Taught Me (That I Didn’t Learn in Veterinary School),” just before learning her mom, Patricia Marzec, had an inoperable brain tumour. The title of the memoir published last month refers to what Vogelsang’s toddler heard when he was told all dogs go to heaven.

Her parents moved in so Marzec could enjoy her last months with family, and Vogelsang’s golden retriever, Brody, picked up on the changes.

He always jumped on her parents but stopped when they arrived in April.

“He knew Mom was sick. He was with her 247,” Vogelsang said. “He was trying not to be too obvious, but Dad was on one side and he was on the other.”

Brody would lay by Marzec’s feet or rest his head on her lap when he sensed she was sad.

He wedged in next to her when hospice workers came by, ignoring her shaking hand as she patted his head, Vogelsang said.

“He is still my dog, but he knew when they came they needed him more than I did,” she said.

Dogs know to comfort people by sniffing out some cancers, such as on the breath of a lung cancer patient, said Dr. BonGREAT nie Beaver, professor at Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary

realistic expectations as she balanced career and motherhood. When the dog got cancer, Vogelsang didn’t push endless procedures and medications, because it wasn’t right for Kekoa. That led her into the hospice-care field.

After Vogelsang’s mother moved in, the family spent two months watching movies, eating cookies and watch-

ing butterflies flit across the yard. Pat Marzec even read her daughter’s book, giving her approval.

She died June 3, about a month before it went to print.

“Those last two months we had were just an incredible time,” Vogelsang said. “Death is just a moment. Life is everything else leading up to it.”

’Second Avenue Sinatra’ is missing

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Some musicians would do anything to capitalize on an endorsement from Taylor Swift — but that’s simply not Emilie Kahn’s style. The Montrealer has gathered significant attention for her austere cover of Swift’s Style on the harp, including a retweet from Swift herself. Kahn performs as Emilie & Ogden, which is the name of her harp.

Montreal musician endorsed by Taylor Swift after covering Style on harp

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Some musicians would do anything to capitalize on an endorsement from Taylor Swift — but that’s simply not Emilie Kahn’s style.

The Montrealer has gathered significant attention for her austere cover of Swift’s Style, which she played on the harp. Her intimate take on the song has been posted by Time, Entertainment Weekly and BuzzFeed — not to mention Swift herself, who retweeted Billboard’s post on the song.

For the soft-spoken Kahn — who performs as Emilie & Ogden, Ogden being the name of her harp — it’s all a little tough to fathom.

“It’s become a bit overwhelming,” she conceded in a telephone interview this week, noting that she had to stop monitoring the clip’s ever-climbing YouTube view count (over 200,000 hits and counting).

“It’s getting a lot of attention, which is super exciting, but it’s also kind of scary just to be, I guess, famous on the Internet.

“I don’t want to be known as the girl who did the Taylor Swift cover,” she added.

BRIEF Saskatoon songwriters bring a Plant/Krauss vibe to Fratters She’s a little bit country, he’s a little bit indie/roots.

Together Jen Lane and John Antoniuk create harmonies reminiscent of Robert Plant and Allison Krauss or Gram Parsons and Emmylous Harris.

The two Saskatoon-based singer/ songwriters will perform Aug. 17, at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer, along with Twin Peaks.

Lane, who has been up for three Western Canadian Music Awards for her solo albums, and Antoniuk, who has also toured North America as a solo artist, recently brought their con-

“I think with the Internet and all these clickbait websites, it’s kind of easy for you to put out a video and it just becomes a piece of content for people to share.

“People are reacting really well to the video, saying this touched me and this changed my life — so that’s amazing to hear. But I’m also worried that next week it’ll be onto the next thing.”

When in fact, this should just be the beginning for Kahn.

Emilie & Ogden’s debut, 10,000, is due out Oct. 2. It’s cinematic and wrenching, with lyrics about “pain and heartbreak” — not necessarily autobiographical, she notes — finding an ideal vessel in Kahn’s gossamer voice and mournful instrument.

The arrangements on her album are significantly fuller than her stripped Swift cover, although Kahn says her Style is an accurate indication of the intimate feel of her live show.

She chose to interpret the song because she wanted a cover in her set and she’s “kind of just a big fan” of Swift. “(Style’) has a really unique mood,” Kahn observed. “She writes a lot of huge pop hits, but I think they always have a really specific subject matter.

This song is about the time after you break up with someone and you keep going back to each other.

“I thought that was a very interesting mood that you don’t see a lot in pop music.”

Kahn was born in Toronto but spent her formative years in Montreal.

She began writing songs as a teen but couldn’t commit to an instrument, wandering from flute to piano to guitar.

She went to music school, still trying to locate her passion for piano, when she attended a concert and noticed a harpist accompanying the choir.

“It was love at first sight,” recalled Kahn, noting that she’s been playing for five years. “When I discovered the harp, it changed my life.”

Though a slightly freaked-out Kahn concedes she has stopped absorbing feedback related to her Style cover, she might be encouraged by the top-voted comment lurking on YouTube.

“I can’t believe I’ve never heard of you before,” wrote a user named Toni C. “I’m definitely buying your album in October. You’re absolutely amazing!”

Informed of this, Kahn laughed: “That’s nice to hear.”

Some of Broadway’s best to join Audra McDonald in revival of 1920s musical Shuffle Along

NEW YORK — The latest attempt to kick-start a Fantastic Four franchise flopped at the box office with an estimated $26.2 million debut.

The performance of 20th Century Fox’s Fantastic Four was bad enough that last week’s leader, Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, again led the North American weekend box office with $29.4 million in its second week, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Fantastic Four was savaged by critics and dogged by reports of creative difficulties.

NEW YORK — Some of Broadway’s best will join Audra McDonald in a revival of the 1920s musical “Shuffle Along,” including Brian Stokes Mitchell, Billy Porter, Brandon Victor Dixon and Joshua Henry.

Two have Tonys, the others are Tony nominated.

Dixon played Harpo in The Color Purple and Berry Gordy in Motown.

Porter won a Tony for his performance as Lola in Kinky Boots.

Mitchell won a Tony for Kiss Me Kate

NEW YORK — He was the velvet voice in the hard hat, a karaoke-loving ironworker whose serenades from a subway construction site briefly became a New York City sensation.

Four years after his brush with fame, the Second Avenue Sinatra is being sought after for a darker reason: He’s been missing since he left his house shortly after midnight July 28.

Police and relatives have been searching for Gary Russo, whose construction-site stage lent a new twist to the “if I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere” message of New York, New York, a song he covered. But the limelight faded somewhat over the years, and although Russo has continued performing, a close friend says he recently seemed at a loss about where to concentrate the creative energy he has credited with changing his life.

Russo’s car was found, empty, near a stretch of reeds in the outer-city neighbourhood of Howard Beach on Monday, said Rich Belziti, a longtime friend involved in the search.

Russo was helping build the future Second Avenue subway under Manhattan’s Upper East Side in late July 2011 when he decided to use his lunch breaks to try something he yearned to do: sing in public.

With a karaoke machine and a handlettered sign inviting local residents to forget about construction noise and enjoy the music, he started crooning such tunes as Mack the Knife and Sweet Caroline. Bystanders danced. Co-workers started singing backup. And a local resident’s online video of Russo singing the Sinatra hit Summer Wind drew media attention and more than 1 million views. Within weeks, Russo was featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, was declared The Best New Thing in the World Today by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. He performed at Manhattan’s storied Blue Note jazz club and was asked to sing New York, New York at the start of the New York City Marathon.

“It was only when I set out to do what I loved — singing for others ... that I really found what I was looking for. Myself,” Russo wrote in a 2012 self-help book he co-authored with a psychologist cousin.

Now it’s Russo’s family and friends who are desperate to find the 54-yearold, divorced father of two. They’ve plastered fliers and scoured his coastal Queens neighbourhood, Howard Beach. His longtime employer, Omaha, Nebraska-based Kiewit Corp., has been spreading word among workers in hopes they can help locate the foreman, spokesman Bob Kula said. and got nods for Man of La Mancha, Ragtime and King Hedley II. Henry has nominations for The Scottsboro Boys and Violet.

The casting was announced Sunday.

Shuffle Along was one of the first Broadway musicals to be written and directed by African-Americans.

With music and lyrics by noted composers Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle, it had Broadway’s first jazz score that included the songs (I’m Just) Wild About Harry, Love Will Find a Way, Bandana Days and Shuffle Along.

The dance-heavy show centres on a three-way mayoralty race in a small Southern town called Jimtown.

Director and writer George C. Wolfe decided to create a show about the show and has ended up with Shuffle Along, Or, The Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed, a celebration of the era, creativity, audacity and the city.

Previews begin in March at the Music Box Theatre.

In Memoriam JASON CHRISTOPHER (LACOMBE) MONTGOMERY July 2, 1972 - August 10, 1990 The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began, now far ahead the road has gone, and I must follow if I can. Pursuing it with weary feet, until it joins some longer way, where many paths and errands meet. And whither then - I cannot say. Until we meet again. Miss your beautiful smile and the big hugs.

WORLD

BRIEFS

EPA: No health risks to wildlife after Colorado mine spill, but impact to humans still unknown DENVER — An Environmental Protection Agency official says she doesn’t believe wildlife will suffer significant health impacts from the large volume of wastewater that spilled from an abandoned mine in southwestern Colorado.

The EPA also said Sunday the amount of wastewater that spilled from Colorado’s Gold King Mine into the Animas River is three times larger than its initial estimate. The agency says 3 million gallons (11.4 million litres) spilled into the river Wednesday and Thursday, instead of 1 million (3.8 million litres). The revision came after the EPA used a stream gauge from the U.S. Geological Survey.

EPA toxicologist Deborah McKean says the sludge laced with heavy metals moved so quickly after the spill that it would not have harmed animals that consumed it. The EPA still doesn’t know if there are any health risks posed to people or aquatic life.

Alabama family reunites in Colorado with dog that went missing 9 years ago GOLDEN, Colo. — An Alabama family drove to Colorado to be reunited with their dog Boozer on Saturday after a 9-year separation.

Boozer, now 10, had gone missing while the family was moving from Tennessee to Alabama.

KUSA-TV reports that a man who had owned Boozer, a boxer, recently moved to Denver and gave the dog to Foothills Animal Shelter in Golden on Aug. 2. The man said he was unable to take care of Boozer.

The shelter scanned Boozer’s microchip and discovered that he was registered to Lloyd Goldston of Alabama.

Goldston says he kept an album about Boozer and the dog was always in their hearts.

“We never forgot him,” he said.

Goldston and his two children drove 18 hours to the animal shelter, where Goldston got teary-eyed when he got to spend time with Boozer again.

When Boozer went missing, Goldston said he didn’t have time to look for him in the middle of his move to another state.

U.S. fighter jets arrive at Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base to join fight against IS ANKARA, Turkey — Six U.S. F-16 fighter jets arrived at an air base in southern Turkey on Sunday to join the U.S.-led coalition fight against Islamic State militants, the U.S. military said.

The U.S. European Command said in a statement that the U.S. air force deployed a “small detachment” of six F-16 jets, support equipment and about 300 personnel at Incirlik Air Base. The detachment is part of the 31st Fighter Wing based at Aviano Air Base, in Italy, it said.

Turkey carried out airstrikes against IS targets in Syria last month following a suicide bombing that killed 32 people and the killing of a soldier by IS militants and agreed to allow the U.S. to use the strategically-located base.

The moves ended months of reluctance

by Turkey, giving it a more active role in the U.S.-led coalition against the extremist group.

Last week, U.S. armed drones taking off from Incirlik struck IS positions, and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said an “extensive” fight against the extremists would soon begin.

“The United States and Turkey, as members of the 60-plus nation coalition, are committed to the fight against ISIL in the pursuit of peace and stability in the region,” the U.S. military said, using an alternative name for the militant group.

Turkish media reports say the U.S. is expected to deploy around 30 fighter jets at Incirlik for strikes against IS. Incirlik is located close to IS strongholds across the border in Syria, allowing the U.S. to move more swiftly and nimbly against IS targets. Its use would enable the U.S.-led coalition

ORLANDO, Fla. — A woman is recovering after being attacked by an alligator that bit off her arm while she swam in central Florida.

Rachael D. Lilienthal, 37, was swimming in Wekiva River on Saturday afternoon when the gator attacked her, biting her twice, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission spokeswoman Karen Parker. The 8-foot, 9-inch (2.67-meter) male gator bit off her arm just above the elbow.

Parker said doctors were not able to reattach the arm because too much time had passed.

Kayakers helped rescue the woman.

One of the kayakers struck the alligator with a paddle, causing the animal to release Lilienthal. Two kayakers brought her to the marina where deputies gave her first aid. She was taken to an Orlando-area hospital. Her condition is not known.

“I can understand why people are worried. To go out swimming and have something bite you that is like a nightmare scenario,” said Parker.

Wildlife officers captured the 300-to350-pound gator and euthanized it.

CAIRO — A leading member of Egypt’s hard-line Islamist group Gamaa Islamiya, which waged an armed insurgency against the government in the 1990s, has died in prison, an official said Sunday.

Interior Ministry official Maj. Gen. Hassan el-Sohagi said that Essam Derbala, 58, died of natural causes. A statement from Gamaa Islamiya’s political party accused Egyptian authorities of “assassination,” saying authorities intentionally deprived Derbala of medicine and subjected him to psychological torture.

A prison official, speaking on condition of anonymity as he wasn’t authorized to speak to journalists, denied the group’s accusations.

Derbala was arrested earlier this year and accused of inciting violence.

Gamaa Islamiya later renounced violence and was a strong ally of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

Meanwhile in the restive northern Sinai Peninsula, a roadside bomb hit a police armoured vehicle in the city of el-Arish, killing an officer and a conscript and wounding three, security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to brief reporters.

Also Sunday, a group calling itself “Revolutionary Punishment” claimed responsibility for an attack Saturday on a police vehicle carrying prisoners between Cairo and the oasis province of Fayoum to the southwest that killed one officer and wounded three.

Punjabi provincial home minister Shuja Khanzada said authorities were rigorously investigating the men in custody and that about 10 other suspects would be arrested soon.

The story gained momentum Sunday as Pakistani media publicized a variety of sordid allegations over the case, which police declined to discuss.

Tragedy in Texas MAN KILLED EIGHT MEMBERS OF A HOUSTON FAMILY HAD A DISPUTE WITH WOMAN VICTIM

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — A family of six children and two parents were handcuffed and fatally shot in the head at a Houston home by a man with a violent criminal history who had previously been in a relationship with the mother and had a dispute with her, authorities said Sunday.

David Conley, 48, was charged with capital murder in the deaths. Conley, who is being held in Harris County Jail, didn’t appear at a court hearing Sunday where an arrest affidavit was read. The judge denied him bond.

The dead were identified as parents Dewayne Jackson, 50, his wife Valerie Jackson, 40, and children Nathaniel, 13, Dewayne, 10, Honesty, 11, Caleb, 9, Trinity, 7, and Jonah, 6. Nathaniel was believed to be Conley’s son from the relationship with Valerie Jackson. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office had earlier said that there were three adults and five children killed.

“We do not — cannot — fully comprehend the motivation of an individual that would take the lives of so many innocent people. Especially the lives of the youngest,” said Chief Deputy Tim Cannon of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

“The killer’s motives appear to be related to a dispute with Valerie, who was a former domestic partner.”

Conley told authorities that he discovered on Saturday morning that the locks had been changed at the home after he had moved out. He entered the home through an unlocked window, according to the affidavit.

Officers later responded to a request to do a welfare check at the house and got no response at the door.

They saw through a window a child on the floor with a gunshot wound. Police then heard gunshots coming from the front of the house. A standoff ensued between officers and Conley. He later gave himself up to authorities and was arrested.

Court records show Conley’s criminal history dates back to at least 1988,

Flowers and eight balloons are seen at a house, Sunday, where eight people were killed on Saturday in Houston. A family of six children and two parents were handcuffed and fatally shot in the head at a Houston home by a man with a violent criminal history who had previously been in a relationship with the mother and had a dispute with her, authorities said Sunday. David Conley, 48, was charged with capital murder in the deaths. with the most recent incident last month, when was charged with assault.

In court documents, authorities say the suspect had been arrested for allegedly assaulting Valerie Jackson. The attack happened at the home where the bodies were found and documents say he was in a dating relationship with her.

Court documents said Conley pushed Valerie Jackson’s head against a refrigerator multiple times after she tried to stop him from disciplining her son with a belt. The case was still pending.

In 2013, he was charged with aggravated assault for threatening Jackson with a knife. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to nine months in the

county jail.

In 2000, he was arrested for retaliation, accused of putting a knife to his then-girlfriend, threatening to kill her, her baby and himself. That came after she filed an assault charge against him for cutting her with a knife and punching her in the face. He was sentenced to five years in prison for retaliation. It was unclear if that woman was Valerie Jackson.

The area around the home was cordoned off Sunday, with sheriff’s deputies coming in and out of the house and the medical examiner’s office having arrived at the scene.

Neighbour Dalila Mercado says when she arrived home Saturday night officers had already blocked off the

area. She said she was sitting in her driveway when she heard gunshots coming from the house and officials then told her and her family to go inside their home.

Mercado said she could still see from her bedroom window and watched as a man was escorted out of the house after midnight. She said officials then had him next to her fence, taking fingerprints and photographs.

“It was shocking. I haven’t slept all night,” she said.

Mercado says she didn’t know the residents of the house well, but would occasionally say hello to a woman and see children waiting to catch the school bus. She said she didn’t recognize the man taken out of the house.

Two police officers among those Iraqi premier offers plan to overhaul criticized government wounded in North Carolina shootout

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Iraq’s prime minister unveiled a bold plan Sunday to abolish three vice-presidential posts and the offices of three deputy premiers, hoping to cut spending amid mass protests against his government as the Islamic State group still holds a third of his nation.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s Cabinet backed the plan, which still needs parliamentary approval, but it’s unclear whether it could end the endemic corruption in Iraq’s political system, where many senior appointments are determined by party patronage and sectarian loyalties.

The plan also effectively would push out of government former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, widely criticized for inflaming sectarian tensions and appointing loyal, less-qualified senior officers to Iraq’s military ahead of the Islamic State group’s advance last year. While al-Maliki issued a short statement approving of the proposed plan, he previously criticized al-Abadi’s rise to power last year and repeatedly has urged the current government to address the country’s corruption and sectarian crises.

Al-Abadi’s seven-point plan would dismantle portions of the top-heavy government created in the wake of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein. It would reduce spending on personal bodyguards for officials and transfer the responsibility to the interior and defence ministries. The plan also calls for the review of all corruption cases by a committee of experts, with fresh trials for officials suspected of wrongdoing.

About a thousand demonstrators gathered late Sunday in support of alAbadi in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square. Despite near-daily bombings and attacks in Baghdad, the square has been the scene of peaceful protests in recent days over frequent power cuts during a heat wave that has seen temperatures reach as high as 52 degrees Celsius (125 degrees Fahrenheit).

The mass demonstrations even include Iraq’s Shiite majority, from which the government draws most of its support. That shows the level of anger among Iraqis in a country ranked 170 out of 175 on Transparency International’s 2014 Corruption Index. A 2013 United Nations report found that half a million Iraqi citizens paid 1.9 million bribes to civil servants over the course of a year, mostly for power and water services.

But the anti-corruption drive received a push two days ago when Iraq’s most revered Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, called on al-Abadi to quickly address internal issues in the government, including corruption.

Through his spokesman, Ahmed alSafi, al-Sistani said the prime minister must be more “daring and courageous” in his steps to reform the government, urging him to strike “with an iron fist anyone who is tampering with the people’s money.”

That’s similar to the pledge alAbadi made Aug. 10, 2014, when he was named premier-elect. The Islamic State group already seized control of a third of Iraq and the U.S. had just begun targeting the extremists with airstrikes.

But despite seizing Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit and some areas, the advance of Iraqi forces has waned.

GASTONIA, N.C. — A shoot-out in a small North Carolina town — sparked by a gunman’s alleged killing of a neighbour — left the gunman dead and two police officers wounded, authorities said Sunday. A bystander was also hurt.

The injuries to the officers didn’t appear to be life-threatening, Gaston County Assistant Police Chief Joseph Ramey said at a late-night news conference.

A woman was also wounded in the incident, but she is expected to survive, Ramey said.

A number of officers rushed to the neighbourhood around 9:30 p.m. Sat-

ry t n Co u

urday after getting several 911 calls about a man shot to death and another man still in the area with a gun, the assistant chief said.

The suspected gunman was on a street corner armed with a pistol and a rifle and fired on officers. He was killed when several officers fired back, Ramey said.

Authorities identified the man killed by police as Jeffrey Clyde Wilkes. They said Wilkes shot and killed retired Gaston County Police officer Charles Dean Thompson.

The names of the officers injured were not released.

Police said Sunday afternoon that they would not release any more information about the case until Monday morning.

Boyfriend snubbed on upcoming wedding Dear Annie: My cousin is getting married soon and another cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend was invited. They have been dating for years, and I really like her.

The problem is, my boyfriend was not invited, even though we, too, have been dating for years. A lot of that was long distance, so many of my family members have not yet met him.

When I received my wedding invitation, it was addressed only to me. I was wondering whether it would be rude to ask my cousin whether I could bring my boyfriend. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to create any problems, but this would be the first family event that my boyfriend could attend and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like everyone to meet him.

If he cannot attend, I will still go and make sure my cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special day is perfect. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Want to Cause Tension Dear Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t: We commend you for being understanding. It is generally expected that both parties of an established couple are invited, but we

double-checked with Lizzie Post of the Emily Post Institute, who said it is not proper for you to ask.

Your cousin apparently didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that your relationship was steady and ongoing and the couple may not MITCHELL have felt obli& SUGAR gated to include someone they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know.

They also may not have room.

We think it would be a good idea if you found a way to introduce your boyfriend to your cousin before the wedding. Perhaps the two of you could take the bridal couple out to dinner to celebrate. You might also consider

having a small party to introduce him to your relatives so they have an opportunity to get to know him.

Dear Annie: My sister does not have her own email address or Facebook page. Everything is in her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. That means he sees everything I send to her.

There are times when I would like to send stuff to my sister in private.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not asking her to hide anything important from her husband, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the point of him being able to read everything I send. Sometimes there are personal things between sisters that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer she not share, although if she chooses to, that would be her choice. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be because he is reading them anyway. Knowing that he is looking at everything I send changes the way I write to her and makes it less sisterly.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why she refuses to create her own accounts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that difficult. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up with this? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Annoyed Sis

Dear Annoyed: Have you asked your sister directly why her accounts are in her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name? Perhaps it was a mutual decision allowing both of them to have access to each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications and social media posts. This is sometimes a trust issue and not your business. Or maybe she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be bothered to set up her own, in which case, you can offer to do it for her.

We understand that this annoys you, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not your decision. If you need to say something to your sister that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer her husband not be privy to, we recommend the old-fashioned way: Pick up the telephone or meet her for coffee. Those types of personal communication are still quite effective.

COLUMBUS, Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The parents who created a â&#x20AC;&#x153;visual bucket listâ&#x20AC;? for their 5-old-old daughter whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slowly going blind started by showing her wondrous sights close to their Ohio home. They never dreamed sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get to see Rome someday.

Elizabeth â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lizzyâ&#x20AC;? Myers and her family will travel to Italy sometime next spring thanks to Turkish Airlines, whose general manager was touched by the little girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story and her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wish that she see many amazing things before a rare genetic condition robs her of her sight, or most of it.

The airline offered up round-trip tickets to anywhere in the world, and the family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Bellville, Ohio, 60 miles north of Columbus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; chose one of the most visual places they could think of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is Italian, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Catholic, so Rome was kind of the obvious choice for us,â&#x20AC;? said Lizzyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad, Steve Myers, 42. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt both felt Lizzy would enjoy seeing the artwork and the statues, and possibly seeing where my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is from, which is south of Rome.â&#x20AC;?

Lizzy was recently diagnosed with Usher Syndrome Type II, which causes hearing and progressive vision loss. Her parents have five to seven years to get her out to see things, especially at night. Recently she visited an observatory near their home and saw a production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary Poppinsâ&#x20AC;? at a local theatre.

They also hope to take a road trip soon to show her some of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural wonders, including Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon.

And now Rome is on the list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was about helping a little girl who may never have the chance to see the world,â&#x20AC;? Turkish Airlinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; general manager Tuncay Eminoglu said.

Typhoon weakens over southeast China

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING — A typhoon that lashed Taiwan dumped heavy rain and winds on the Chinese mainland on Sunday, leaving a total of 22 people dead or missing, collapsing homes and trees and cutting power to more than a million homes.

Typhoon Soudelor made landfall in China’s Fujian province late Saturday night and was downgraded into a tropical storm as it moved across the region.

Rains from the typhoon triggered mudslides in mountainous Pingyang county in Zhejiang province, north of Fujian, killing nine people and leaving three others missing, the county government said.

The Fujian Civil Affairs Department said that the storm collapsed 36 houses and damaged 281 others. Authorities had evacuated more than 370,000 people and ordered around 32,000 boats back to port before the typhoon struck land.

State broadcaster showed people wading in knee-deep water in the provincial capital of Fuzhou and said that some streets were submerged under 80 centimetres (30 inches).

In Taiwan, where the typhoon made landfall Saturday, the National Fire Agency said five people died, five were missing, and a further 185 were

Typhoon Soudelor that lashed Taiwan dumped heavy rain and winds on the Chinese mainland on Sunday, leaving dozens of people dead or missing, collapsing homes and trees and cutting power to more than a million homes. injured.

The dead or missing included an 8-year-old girl, her twin sister and their mother who were swept out to sea, a firefighter who was killed while another was injured after being hit by a drunken driver as they attempted to move a fallen tree.

The storm downed trees, traffic lights and power lines on the island, causing more than 4 million households to lose electricity. More than 500 flights were cancelled or delayed.

In Fujian, strong winds caused power outages to more than 1.41 million households before the storm made

landfall, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

Three airports were closed and more than 530 flights cancelled, while more than 7,000 soldiers and police were on standby, provincial authorities said.

Silence, march mark anniversary in Ferguson

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FERGUSON, Mo. — One year after the shooting that cast greater scrutiny on how police interact with black communities, the father of slain 18-year-old Michael Brown led a march in Ferguson, Missouri, on Sunday after a crowd of hundreds observed 4 ½ minutes of silence.

Those who gathered to commemorate Brown began their silence at 12:02 p.m., the time he was killed, for a length of time that symbolized the 4 ½ hours that his body lay in the street after he was killed. Two doves were released at the end. Police largely remained away from the ceremony.

Michael Brown Sr. held hands with others to lead the march, which started at the site where his son, who was black and unarmed, was fatally shot

by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014. A grand jury and the U.S. Department of Justice declined to prosecute Wilson, who resigned in November, but the shooting touched off a national “Black Lives Matter” movement.

Pausing along the route at a permanent memorial for his son, Michael Brown Sr. said, “Miss you.”

He had thanked supporters before the march for not allowing what happened to his son to be “swept under the carpet.”

Later Sunday, a few hundred people turned out at Greater St. Mark Family Church in a ceremony to remember Brown, with his father joining other relatives sitting behind the pulpit.

Anthony Gray, one of the Brown family’s attorneys, said of the shooting, “You knew in your gut that it wasn’t right. And you knew what that officer did was unjustified.”

Michael Brown Sr. had also led a parade involving several hundred people on Saturday. He said his family is still grieving, but he believes his son’s legacy can be seen in the increased awareness of police shootings, and renewed skepticism when officers describe their side of events leading up to those shootings.

The anniversary has also sparked renewed protests, but the focus of the weekend is largely on Brown, who graduated from high school weeks before the shooting and planned to go to trade school to study to become a heating and air conditioning technician.

Relatives and friends described Brown as a quiet, gentle giant who stood around 6-foot-3 (1.9 metres) and weighed nearly 300 pounds (136 kilograms). But police said Brown stole items from a convenience store and shoved the owner who tried to stop him on the morning of Aug. 9, 2014.

Moments later, he and a friend were walking on Canfield Drive when Wilson, who is white, told them to move to the sidewalk.

That led to a confrontation inside Wilson’s police car. It spilled outside, and Wilson claimed that Brown came at him, menacingly, leading to the fatal shooting.

Some witnesses claimed Brown had his hands up in surrender. Federal officials concluded there was no evidence to disprove testimony by Wilson that he feared for his safety, nor was there reliable evidence that Brown had his hands up in surrender when he was shot.

The shooting led to protests, some violent, and the unrest escalated again in November when a St. Louis County grand jury determined that Wilson did nothing wrong. He resigned days later.

The November riots included fires that burned more than a dozen businesses.

Facing rising dental costs, senior citizens head to Mexico

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ALGODONES, Mexico — Mark Bolzern travelled 3,700 miles to go to the dentist. The 56-year-old Anchorage, Alaska, native left home this spring, made a pit stop in Las Vegas to pick up a friend, and kept heading south, all the way to Los Algodones, Mexico, a small border town teeming with dental offices.

About 60 per cent of Americans have dental insurance coverage, the highest it has been in decades. But even so, the nation’s older population has been largely left behind. Nearly 70 per cent of seniors are not insured, according to a study compiled by Oral Health America. A major reason is because dental care is not covered by Medicare and many employers no longer offer post-retirement health benefits. What’s more, the Affordable Care Act allows enrollees to get dental coverage only if they purchase general health coverage first, which many seniors don’t need. At the same time, seniors often require the most costly dental work, like crowns, implants and false teeth.

As a result, many are seeking cheaper care in places like Los Algodones, where Mexican dentists who speak English and sometimes accept U.S. insurance offer rock-bottom prices for everything from a cleaning to implants.

Dentists in Los Algodones say a large portion of their clients are seniors.

In this Thursday, April 30, 2015 photo, a street full of a dental offices is seen in Los Algodones, Mexico, which sits on the border with California. Thousands of Americans and Canadians travel to Los Algodones each year for affordable and reliable dental work from dentists who speak English and sometimes accept U.S. insurance. The trip, even counting the cost of traveling long distances, is often more affordable than getting dental care in the United States or Canada. ers at low rates — no prescription needed.

For Bolzern, seeing a dentist in Los Algodones meant a savings of up to $62,000. He was told the extensive dental work he needed — his teeth needed to be raised and he needed a crown on every molar — would cost $65,000 at a private dentist. He looked for lower rates, finding a dental school where the work was less expensive because it was performed by students. But it still cost $35,000.

He paid $3,000 in Mexico and has been back several times.

The cost of dental care has surged in the last two decades and continues to increase at a rate of 5 per cent annually. Many dental plans have high deductibles and don’t offer extensive coverage. Many people opt out.

Mexico has lower costs because of cheaper labour and fewer regulatory requirements.

Residents in border towns like El Paso, Texas and Nogales, Sonora, often make the short drive to the Mexican side for basic medical needs and prescription medications that are much costlier in the U.S. Some businesses

even offer shuttle services from the Phoenix area to Los Algodones, a nearly 200-mile ride.

Going abroad for cheaper health care is nothing new. Americans have been doing it for years, for everything from elective, cosmetic procedures to major, life-saving surgery.

Matthew Messina, a practicing dentist and consumer adviser on behalf of the American Dental Association, said Americans who visit dentists in foreign countries should do a lot of research before they go.

Different countries use different types of equipment, and some items, such as implants, may not have warranties. Malpractice lawsuits may not be an option.

Dentists in Los Algodones say they attend less school than their counterparts in U.S. but spend more time practicing clinical work. They say they practice the same safety standards as American dentists and have offices that are just as clean.

Jose Obed Zuniga has been a dentist in Los Algodones for a decade and found business was so good he opened his own shop about two years ago.

“Everything, the quality, is very similar to the United States,” Zuniga said. “We see the work from the United States, and it’s very competitive.”

Aiti Gutierrez left her home in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, 1,400 miles away, to practice in a Los Algodones office that has four patient rooms and a lobby with a water-stacked mini-fridge. In the busy season, she sees about a dozen patients a day, and 12-hour work days aren’t unusual.

“They like to feel comfortable and that they’re safe,” Gutierrez said of her clients.
