Fentanyl linked to overdose epidemic

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Fentanyl-related deaths this year in Central Alberta spiked to 19 as of June 30, according to Alberta Health Services.

Only six deaths related to fentanyl were recorded in Red Deer between 2011 and 2013.

Jennifer Vanderschaeghe, Central Alberta AIDS Network Society executive director, called it an “overdose epidemic.”

“I’m not convinced this is a temporary problem.

Fentanyl has been on the radar in Vancouver for over a year. It was two weeks ago on a Sunday night that they had six overdoses deaths in an hour,” Vanderschaeghe said on Thursday.

She said CAANS clients say they aren’t necessarily buying fentanyl, rather it was mixed in their drugs.

“In our community for sure you can buy something called fentanyl. The bulk of people we’re working with are buying things that are not called fentanyl.

They’re buying a variety of opiates that are marketed as something other than fentanyl — there happens to be fentanyl in it.”

Fentanyl is about 100 times stronger than morphine, heroin or oxycodone and is often passed off as the new form of OxyContin.

In the first six months of 2015, a total of 145 people in Alberta died from taking drugs in which fentanyl was detected.

Fentanyl is often sold on the street under the nicknames: fake oxy, greenies, green beans, beans, green apples, apples, shady eighties, or eighties.

Prescribed by a doctor and taken in appropriate doses, fentanyl is used for pain management.

Dr. Ifeoma Achebe, medical officer of health for Alberta Health Services Central Zone, said at 19 deaths, fentanyl is a serious problem.

“Fentanyl can be a very dangerous drug. It’s very, very toxic,” Achebe said.

She said Fentanyl started showing up more about two years, but the problem has gotten worse in recent months.

The zone has seen 59 opiate-related emergency room visits during the first five months of 2015. Those visits would involve morphine, heroin, oxycodone or fentanyl.

During the 12 months of 2014, there were 152 opiate-related visits in the zone and a total of 164 in 2013.

Since July 7, CAANS has been part of the Overdose Prevention Program.

Base jumper expected to live after hitting rock face

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Base jumper Kelsey Rice had already parachuted to the bottom of a 350-metre-high cliff near Nordegg and was watching his brother when something went terribly wrong.

Sheldon Rice’s parachute opened right on cue.

But instead of drifting safely down as three others had before him, the Rocky Mountain House fatherof-three slammed into the rock face.

The impact shattered his kneecap and left him bruised and bleeding on a scree slope at the bottom of the sheer cliff as other base jumpers rushed to help him late Tuesday afternoon.

“His bell was rung pretty hard,” said Kelsey. “He was still kind of confused. He wasn’t 100 per cent sure of what had gone on.

“He just knew that there was a steering issue that

he couldn’t control or couldn’t fix. And by the time he was trying to correct and get away from the wall, it was just too late.

“He had a completely fully-inflated canopy, which is what saved his life coming down that wall.

“He probably came down 500 feet along that wall.”

Kelsey said his brother was dazed but conscious and could answer questions about his birthday and those of his children when he got to him.

The younger brother’s biggest concern in the long wait to get out to safety was that there might be unseen internal injuries that could prove fatal.

Sheldon is recovering in Calgary’s Foothills Medical Centre following an operation on his knee. He also has a hairline fracture to one leg, a couple of broken vertebrae, and minor lesions to his liver and a kidney, among other bumps and bruises.

Woman filled with grief, anger after beloved dog killed at off-leash park

Heartbroken, Carla Rider still fills up her dog’s water dish every morning. She’s grieving for Vienna, her once ever-present companion, now dead.

Vienna was killed on July 29 during an attack by another dog at the City of Red Deer’s Oxbow Off Leash Park.

Rider tried her best to save Vienna, fighting the other dog off with her bare hands.

The incident began when Rider stopped to chat with other dog owners after she had walked Vienna — a small cross between a Pomeranian, chihuahua and shih tzu that had just turned two. Rider deMARY-ANN scribes her as a quiet, friendly dog.

BARR Vienna was just sniffing the ground as everyone visited when a man Rider had not seen before arrived with

BARRSIDE

his dog.

“His dog just bolted to my dog ... and he pounced on her, grabbed her, threw her up in the air and then grabbed her head and started thrashing her like a rag doll. Her head was in his mouth.

“So I was trying to fricking open this dog’s mouth to get my dog out and I could feel the dog crunching on (Vienna) ... I didn’t even care if I got mauled. I was just like pulling this dog’s mouth open and I could see his teeth through her eye, and I was just like, oh my god.

“And I finally got her free.”

But Vienna had been killed instantly.

A city worker at the dog park came to try to help Rider get the attacking dog off Vienna. He also later tried to take Vienna’s vital signs to see if there was any hope.

Rider, 36, wasn’t afraid for herself. “You know what, at that moment, like that’s something you love.

I decided not to have children and my dog was my child, you know.”

Thrill seekers know the risks of jumping

OVERDOSE: 33 kits distributed It has given out take-home Naloxone kits and trained 27 clients to use them to reverse the symptoms of fentanyl and other opiod poisoning.

The program is a one-year, $300,000 pilot project funded by Alberta Health developed in response to the rise in fentanyl overdoses.

Vanderschaeghe said so far 33 kits have been distributed by CAANS and kits have been used six times to successfully address overdoses.

The medication Naloxone temporarily stops the effects of opiates to keep people breathing until paramedics arrive. It’s possible for a person to lapse into an overdose again once Naloxone wears off so it is important they receive medical attention.

Naloxone is injected intramuscularly and other than being an opiate antagonist, Naloxone has no affect on the body.

She said CAANS clients are thankful Naloxone is available so they can help a friend who is in trouble.

“It’s really scary. You don’t want to be there and not be able to help somebody.”

Staff have also seen a few new faces as a result of the program, she said.

CAANS is working with Red Deer Primary Care Network’s Street Clinic on the program and CAANS is one of seven agencies across Alberta distributing the kits. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

JUMP: Perfect conditions Despite the damage, he is expected to recover fully.

Kelsey said the conditions were perfect for the jump, which had been meticulously planned for months by the group of 10 base jumpers who had been taxied to the cliff by helicopter.

“It had nothing to do with the wind. We had the most beautiful conditions a guy could possibly ask for up there. The spot we jumped from was, in the base world, a super safe place to jump from.”

Kelsey, 37, and his brother have been jumping together since 1996. Sheldon has 3,000 parachute jumps under his belt and dozens of base jumps and is very experienced.

When he landed, the remaining five base jumpers took their turns parachuting down. Base jumping protocol calls on all available to help when something goes wrong with another jumper and you can’t do that looking down from the top of the cliff.

Kelsey is beyond praise for the search and rescue volunteers and professionals who responded.

“My God, it was like angels coming down, it truly was,” said the father of three from Rocky Mountain House.

Rocky Search and Rescue president Ed Van Heeren was one of eight members of the speciallytrained group that was flown in by Ahlstrom Air to the site about 23 km from Hwy 11 in the Cline River area southwest of Nordegg around noon.

The rescue was a major co-operative effort by close to two dozen search and rescue volunteers and emergency services responders and local helicopter companies from Rocky Mountain House and Nordegg, as well as the Kananaskis Country Public Safety Section.

“When we got to him, he had lacerations on his face and his forward,” said Van Heeren. “His one leg was in pretty bad shape and he had a whole bunch of undetermined injuries, internal injuries.

“We stabilized the patient as best as we could and lowered him down to a safer, more stable area on the scree slope,” he said.

“We helped package him for transport by long line by Alpine Helicopters and the (Kananaskis County Public Safety Section).”

A long line involves slinging a basket below a helicopter to move injured climbers. The man was then transferred into an Ahlstrom helicopter and taken to the Cline River helipad, where STARS was waiting with its own helicopter to take the patient to Calgary.

Kelsey said his brother will recover. And when he does, he hopes his base jumping days are over.

“I’m really hoping that he doesn’t,” he said, adding it was so difficult to see his brother hurt.

“For my own selfish reasons, I hope he doesn’t so I would never have to feel that again because it was my brother.”

Kelsey, though, will jump again.

“Yeah, I think I will,” he said. “It’s all I know how to do I guess. It’s what I’ve lived for for the last 20 years.” pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

The rescue was a major co-operative effort by close to two dozen search and rescue volunteers and emergency services responders and local helicopter companies from Rocky Mountain House and Nordegg, as well as the Kananaskis Country Public Safety Section.

VIENNA: Dog owner charged Rider was hysterical and other people began screaming at the man — who never spoke with Rider — to get his dog out of the park. They also got the man’s phone number and took a photo of his licence plate. The dog was a brindle-coloured American Staffordshire terrier, which is a pit bull breed.

Rider reported the incident right away to Alberta Animal Services, which has the City of Red Deer contract for dog control.

While it is an off-leash park, Rider said aggressive dogs aren’t supposed to be in it.

“I must be gullible or something. I never, ever imagined that anything like that could ever happen in a dog park.

“I thought all the dogs were wonderful there. I went there twice a day, every single day for the past year and half. I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

Since the incident, Rider hasn’t been able to sleep much.

“I have been having such a problem the last couple of weeks. We did everything together. I took her everywhere.

“I think about it like it was just yesterday,” she said.

“I called her Vienna because it’s the city of music and dreams ... I’ve always wanted to go there. My uncle used to be a famous opera singer there and since I’ve never had the chance to go, she was my music and dreams.”

Rider said one charge has been laid against the dog owner but she doesn’t feel it’s enough.

“You hear everyone say it’s not the dog, it’s the owner ... so the owner should be charged accordingly,” she said.

“The person who it happens to gets nothing, really. It’s kind of like, ‘Here’s a muzzle, put it on yourself and have a good day.’ That’s how I feel,” she said.

“It could be any kind of dog that could attack.

Obviously if an owner knows that they have an aggressive dog, they should not be taking it to the dog park.”

Rider is upset that people take so much time to train and love their dogs, and to make them part of their family, but according to law they are viewed as property.

“It’s like a small claim.” It angers her when some people tell her to just get another dog. “I don’t want another dog. I want my dog.”

Rider has been getting an education she never wanted. She is researching online the type of dog that attacked her dog, the law, animal rights and reading stories about other dog attacks.

“The articles I have been reading ... it is just never-ending.”

Numbers are unofficial.

Base jumpers like Rocky Mountain House brothers Kelsey and Sheldon Rice are part of a small community of thrill seekers.

Leaping from cliffs often only metres from the face takes guts.

While most of us can only imagine what that must feel like, Kelsey knows — and he knows the risks too.

“We’re not a bunch of idiots or people who don’t give a s--t about society or even life,” said Kelsey.

While he’s lost two friends in skydiving accidents in the past 20 years a dozen have died in car crashes or from diseases, he said.

One friend Gabriel Hubert, 40, died during a wingsuit jump near Canmore this past June.

Kelsey was carrying his ashes, which were released when he jumped on Tuesday.

Kelsey, 37, of Rocky Mountain House, was drawn to the sport after he was electrocuted in a bad industrial accident and lost his right leg below the knee as an 18-year-old.

Skydiving helped him find a purpose again.

He’s been jumping ever since, even when a wife and three children came along.

“People will question, ‘Why do you put your life at risk like that?’

“We know the how tos, we know what to do, how to do it. It’s not a big a risk (the way) we see it as (compared to how) you see it.”

Kelsey estimates he has parachuted about 1,800 times and has base jumped close to 100.

Sheldon has logged more than 3,000 parachute jumps and more than 50 base jumps.

When the Rice brothers headed out to a cliff in the Cline River area on Tuesday to parachute down with eight others it had been an expedition years in the making.

Kelsey spotted the cliff they jumped from several years ago when he was flying helicopter tours in the area.

“It took me probably two years of dreaming, and a year kind of really putting things into play and probably the last six months planning that jump.

Kelsey said everything from the location, ensuring it was legal and permits were not required, to alerting rescue authorities and Alberta Parks of their intentions, was carefully organized.

A helicopter pilot himself he knew what would be involved if a rescue was required and the costs, which he expects he will be billed for the rescue of his brother, who was badly injured in a suspected gear malfunction while base jumping on Tuesday.

Almost as soon as word got out on the Kananaskis Country Public Safety Section’s Facebook page that they had been involved in the rescue of a base jumper critics put in their two cents.

He bristles at the way some people see them as a bunch of “cowboys” who throw themselves into danger on a lark.

Part of that is the coverage illegal urban base jumpers get when they leap off office buildings.

That was not what the Nordegg trip — which was completely legal — was about.

Along for the day, were eight other base jumpers, who also know the risks and look out for each other.

“As a group, 100 per cent of us are brothers and sisters. We’ve got each other’s backs.

We’re the only ones who can stop problems or fix problems or look after each other if we see something wrong with anything going on.

“We’re responsible for each other because there’s nobody else out there going to do it.”

And she wants people to know this can happen to them. There were children at the park that day, Rider notes.

Her bills, including cremation costs, are going to be over $1,000.

The man charged is to appear in court in September.

Is Alberta really orange?

Can a revolution repeat itself twice in five months? Or is lightning in a bottle, by its very nature, captured but once?

That is the political question in Alberta in this federal election, but the fact that any questions are being asked in Alberta during a federal campaign is news in itself.

So is this: In the federTIM al riding of CalHARPER gary-Skyview, NDP organizers claim that more than 1,500 people showed up for a nomination meeting.

In the federal riding of EdmontonMill Woods, 10 times more memberships have been sold in advance of this election than 2011, organizers boast, and 21 people contacted the riding association president about running in the riding.

A Conservative leader, Stephen Harper, comes home to warn Albertans about replicating their provincial “disaster” and rolling the dice with the federal NDP. There are a number of factors that have yet to be properly parsed before anyone can suggest that Albertans are

INSIGHT

prepared to move to the federal NDP under Tom Mulcair the way they did in the spring with the embrace of NDP Premier Rachel Notley.

Right now, it doesn’t look like it. In fact, NDP support seems to be fading and, in some select ridings, its strength and improved Liberal fortunes may make this province look more like Ontario in 2011 with Conservatives counting on progressive splits for re-election.

But dismissing the possibility of another Orange Wave means ignoring what happened here in the spring.

Conservative support in the province appears to be running anywhere from the mid-40s and mid-50s, unachievable for parties anywhere else in any other region but disappointing here where Conservatives have become accustomed to support north of 60 per cent.

Insiders agree that incumbents Joan Crockatt in Calgary Centre and Tim Uppal in Edmonton-Mill Woods have tough races, but if they fall, they will most likely fall to Liberals.

Edmonton Centre — once the riding of Liberal cabinet minister Anne McLellan, whose narrow victories earned her the nickname “Landslide Annie” — could easily go to New Democrat Gil McGowan, the former president of the Alberta Federation of Labour, now that former Conservative MP Laurie Hawn has vacated.

Edmonton-Griesbach is also a potential NDP gain and the party will almost certainly hold its only seat, Linda

Duncan’s Edmonton-Strathcona.

St. Albert-Edmonton is also in play and unique in 2015 Alberta.

Brent Rathgeber, who quit Harper’s caucus over what he called the prime minister’s suppression of his MPs and has written a book on the lack of parliamentary accountability, cannot be counted out against his Conservative rival Michael Cooper.

Or Rathgeber and Cooper could split the conservative vote and create an opening for another NDP seat.

Rathgeber dismisses that, saying he is in a tight two-way fight with Cooper, but he also says the fallout from the plunging price of oil is the main electoral story in Alberta.

It’s not Harper’s fault that oil prices have fallen so badly, he says, nor is it Notley’s, but when people lose jobs they tend to punish whoever is in power.

Harper made a similar point in a recent Edmonton stop, saying neither he nor Notley can be blamed for the price plunge. Still, he blamed the premier for dealing with the crisis improperly.

“Where’s their economic action plan?” he said to an Edmonton audience.

In a bid to help the Mulcair New Democrats, Notley will not introduce a budget until after Oct. 19, but she has hiked taxes on the wealthy and increased the corporate tax rate to 12 per cent from 10 per cent, both campaign promises.

New Democrats had always believed Notley would still be in an ex-

tended honeymoon period when federal voters went to the polls, but she is not impervious to cratered oil prices and layoff notices.

She will still be popular, but there is growing uneasiness with her lack of a budget and her industry royalty review and tax hikes — the Harper message — says James Rajotte, the outgoing Edmonton-Leduc Conservative MP and longtime chair of the parliamentary finance committee.

“People here are hurting and 2016 is not shaping up as a very good year in Alberta,” he says.

Notley is also not Mulcair and the federal leader has had to temper his oilsands comments.

Notley also benefited from a strong protest vote and a split right between the Progressive Conservatives and Wildrose.

She essentially took the Harper route to victory, conquering a divided opposition.

What the NDP does have is enthusiasm, provincial polling numbers in some Edmonton ridings rarely seen outside North Korea, and a much stronger roster of volunteers.

Sometimes political enthusiasm can cover a number of cracks.

If they believe they are in these races, that can go a long way and New Democrats may eventually muscle themselves into those races.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Don’t be so quick to judge and condemn Rachel Notley Re: Ted Johnson’s letter to the editor in the Friday, Aug. 14, Advocate, Gas pump price creeping up, oil heads down.

Easy Ted. “The clueless, directionless Alberta government has no provincial budget so as not to probably upstage their federal counterparts prior to the federal election now on,” he wrote.

Someone, whom I presume you admired — as did many Albertans — the Honorable Peter Lougheed, was elected on Aug. 30, 1971; the legislature did not even sit until March 2, 1972. A budget wasn’t presented until March 17.

Few would call him clueless. One of the first things he did was raise royalties.

Rachel Notley is in no rush. I think she did a fine job with the other premiers in the vortex of federal leadership.

Committees of experts from all political stripes have been formed to listen to Albertans. It was a brilliant move bringing in former Bank of Canada economist David Dodge.

We have some very serious problems.

According to the Economist Magazine, the Americans have close to a trillion barrels of shale oil. Of course, that is the NDPs fault!

For comparison the biggest conventional oilfield in Canadian history (all fracked) was the Pembina around Drayton Valley, which produced 1.5 billion barrels.

How production costs compare between shale oil and Fort McMurray, I don’t know.

The Conservatives had many years to build refineries — if that is the problem.

Would you like Petro Canada back?

Would you like to legislate gas prices?

Several companies have been fined for price fixing including, Suncor, Canadian Tire, Irving and so on — after years of court battles.

There is no rush, like Peter Lougheed was in no rush.

It will make a huge difference who wins the federal election; those who wish to work with the provinces co-operatively or the master of divide them and the Straussian attack strategy.

Carry on Rachel Notley, you are doing a fine, measured job.

We should all have the right to decide about vaccinations This month, August 2015, the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is planning on voting on something they should have no say in: whether or not vaccines should be mandatory in Canada.

The right and responsibility to make an informed choice between a patient and a doctor is not something that should be taken away from people who reside in a free country.

This is not about the nonsense we see in the media regarding vaccines; this is about a medication that is being pushed without ethics against our constitutional rights.

Vaccines are one of the many medications that doctors do not talk to patients about. How can people

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9

by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Mary Kemmis Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Wendy Moore Advertising sales manager

make informed choices when doctors refuse to ask and answer questions regarding vaccines? It’s time for people to ask questions and for doctors to be held liable for answering those questions.

The creators of vaccines acknowledge these risks and reactions. There are pamphlets on each vaccine that list the many risks, reactions and even the possibility of death. Yet we constantly hear how “safe and effective” they are.

While there are assumptions about who should and should not receive certain vaccines, there are no scientific studies that help us know for sure who will be the unfortunate ones to have a reaction. It is literally a game of (medical) Russian roulette.

As for the individuals who do suffer from these adverse reactions, there is very little compensation, and the herd that these individuals tried to protect will turn on them if they question how safe and effective vaccines are for them as an individual and not as a herd.

We are not a herd, we are individuals. And like those individual rights and responsibilities, we are losing our place in this world.

Don’t give up your right to make an informed choice!

RDSO concert at Bower Ponds was delightful and fun A big thank you to the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra, and maestro Claude Lapalme, for the delightful (free!) concert, “a gift to the community,” presented at the Bower Ponds Stage on Sunday afternoon.

We were treated to a wide variety of folk and popular music, arranged for symphony orchestra mostly

by Mr. Lapalme, starting with an orchestral arrangement of Ian Tyson’s Four Strong Winds, which, as Mr. Lapalme said in his introduction, was a thankful reminder that this afternoon’s weather was a lot more pleasant than Saturday’s blustery, cool weather at the orchestra’s Jazz Concert at Sylvan Lake!

The quite large audience, sitting in folding chairs and on blankets, responded heartily to the cleverly arranged rendition of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, and other songs from across Canada (I particularly enjoyed Mon Pays and another folk song from Quebec), and the orchestra, too, seemed to be having fun, playing the “non-classical” music!

A6 Sentence drawing to a close

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

MEDICINE HAT — A woman who was 12 when she helped murder her family because they disapproved of her relationship with an older man is preparing to live a “real life in the real world” when her sentence ends next spring.

The woman, who is now 21 but can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was convicted along with her then boyfriend of killing her mother, father and eight-year-old brother in the family’s Medicine Hat home in April 2006.

Her 10-year youth sentence expires May 7, 2016, and she continued on her path toward freedom Thursday when a judge removed her weekday curfew.

Her curfew on weekends was removed at an earlier court date.

“For the last portion of her sentence she’ll be living as a normal individual in society so we’ll be able to tell and see that this sentence has done what it was supposed to do, which is to reintegrate her and prepare her to live a real life in the real world,” her lawyer Katherin Beyak said outside court.

“I think everyone’s looking forward to the end of the sentence.”

Court heard how the young woman, who appeared via video link from Calgary, has progressed in her rehabilitation to the point where she is at extremely low risk to reoffend.

“It’s another positive report. In fact, all the reports I’ve received since I imposed this sentence a number of years ago were positive,” said Justice Scott Brooker. “The risk level, according to the reports, remains low and, in fact, her score measures at the lower end of the lowest level.”

She is living on her own in Calgary and has been enrolled in university.

Her sentence was the maximum for young offenders between 12 and 14 and included four years in a psychiatric institution and 4 ½ years under conditional supervision in the community.

Her former boyfriend, Jeremy

NEWS IN BRIEF

Heavy rainfall expected across Central Alberta

FRIDAY, AUG. 21, 2015

Steinke, who was 23 at the time of the killings, is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for 25 years.

The Crown argued she and Steinke concocted a plan to kill the girl’s parents because they disapproved of the 10-year age gap between him and the girl.

It was suggested the crime was loosely based on Steinke’s favourite movie Natural Born Killers, Oliver Stone’s twisted love story about a pair of young serial killers who get their start by killing the girl’s parents.

Steinke admitted in court that he stabbed the mother and the father after he snuck into the family’s home.

But he argued that he did not plan the killings.

He said he attacked the mother, who was wearing only a nightgown, after she turned on a light switch and found him huddled in the darkened basement.

She screamed. Her husband came running with a small screwdriver and rushed Steinke. The man died in a fighter’s stance, his arms still raised above him with loose fists in a room splashed with blood.

Steinke steadfastly maintained the boy’s death came at the hands of the girl.

At trial, police officers and other witnesses became emotional as they recalled seeing the body of the small boy, found on his bed with a deep slash to his throat, his eyes and mouth wide open. Stuffed animals and a toy light sabre spattered with the boy’s blood could be seen next to his body.

Steinke and the girl were arrested in Leader, Sask., about a 90-minute drive away, the day after the bodies were found.

The young woman spoke briefly in the court hearing Thursday expressing her “gratitude” for the team that has worked with her.

The final review of her sentence is to be scheduled for April 2016, a month before she goes free. was to begin Thursday night and be heavy at times on today.

TIMELINE MEDICINE HAT — It’s one of the most horrifying murders in Canadian history. A 12-year-old girl in Medicine Hat, Alta., conspired with her 23-year-old boyfriend to murder her parents and younger brother in 2006. The girl, who can’t be named because she was a youth at the time, is nearing the end of her sentence. Here is a look at her path toward freedom: Nov. 8, 2007: She receives a 10-year Intensive Rehabilitative Custody and Supervision sentence, the maximum for young offenders between the age of 12 and 14. It includes four years in a psychiatric institution and 4 1/2 years under conditional supervision in the community.

Nov. 7, 2010: She is allowed to serve her sentence in an open custody group home in Calgary with all outings needing the approval of the office of Alberta’s Solicitor General.

Jan. 26, 2011: She receives a glowing report from her therapy team and case workers. Justice Scott Brooker is told she is excelling scholastically and prepping for university in the fall. Brooker tells her, “It’s quite clear you’re making significant progress towards your rehabilitation.”

Sept. 27, 2011: During her last appearance in the custodial phase of her sentence, court hears she is making more progress in her rehabilitation. Brooker orders her to remain in Alberta, abide by a curfew and allow for warrantless searches of any electronic devices in order for authorities to monitor her use of social networking sites.

March 29, 2012: Court told she is making “positive strides.” She is taking university courses in Calgary and holding down a part-time job. The judge extends her curfew.

Oct. 1, 2012: Brooker hears she is

currently living alone while working and taking classes. She is responding positively to treatment, is expressing remorse that experts consider to be genuine and is assessed at a low risk to reoffend. “You are doing well. Keep up the good work,” Brooker says.

Sept. 30, 2013: Despite her lawyer calling her a “poster child” for how young offenders can be rehabilitated, Brooker rules the 19-year-old should still have to abide by an 11:30 p.m. curfew. He promises to revisit the matter in a few months.

Dec. 9, 2013: Brooker rejects a request to remove 11:30 p.m. curfew, saying he didn’t see “any compelling need to change.” The Crown argues against removing the curfew, saying it made supervision more effective and reduces risk to the community.

Sept. 11, 2014: Brooker agrees to lift the woman’s curfew on weekends. He says the woman needs to assume more responsibility and that a partial curfew could provide that to some extent.

Feb. 17, 2015: Brooker rejects a request to have the girl’s Monday-to-Thursday curfew removed. He agrees with a recommendation from her rehabilitation team that the curfew remain until her transition into fully independent living can be assessed. She is scheduled to transition to a living arrangement with no supervision in the spring.

Aug. 20, 2015: Brooker removes the Monday-to-Thursday curfew. Court hears the 10-year sentence expires May 7, 2016.

Whose story is true?

EX-PMO LAWYER GIVES DIFFERENT VERSION OF EVENTS FROM HARPER’S CHIEFS OF STAFF

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

DUFFY TRIAL

OTTAWA — Whose story to believe on the 2013 backroom deal between the Prime Minister’s Office and Sen. Mike Duffy — that of Stephen Harper’s former lawyer or his closest aide?

Benjamin Perrin, who worked for a year inside the PMO as both counsel and policy adviser, laid out in court Thursday how he first heard that Duffy would never pay a cent of his $90,000 in contested Senate expenses, even though the public was told otherwise.

Harper’s current chief of staff, Ray Novak, was told in person at least twice about his predecessor Nigel Wright’s plan to repay Duffy’s expenses personally, Perrin testified.

In a scandal that has become as much about alleged coverups as public dishonesty, Perrin’s testimony could turn out to be the most politically damaging yet.

What he had to say directly contradicted the version of events put out last week by the Conservative campaign, which has gone to great lengths to shield Novak and say he never heard of Wright’s plan.

“I’ve known Ray for 20 years,” Conservative spokesman Kory Teneycke said at the time.

“It’s unfathomable that Ray would be aware of a payment from Nigel to Mr. Duffy and not tell the prime minister. That’s just unfathomable. It’s not the case.”

Harper himself has rejected pointed, specific questions about what Novak knew and when he knew it. On

emails flowed into his BlackBerry.

Crown prosecutor Jason Neubauer took Perrin through the negotiations he was asked to take care of with Duffy’s former lawyer Janice Payne between February and March 2013.

The PMO was trying to strike a deal that would see Duffy publicly admit he might have made a mistake on his expense claims, while they would see about having an audit into him cut short.

It wasn’t until well into these talks that Perrin said he found out Duffy would not be repaying the money himself, but that Wright would do it out of his own pocket.

On March 22, 2013, a conference call was organized involving Payne, Perrin, Wright and Novak. Shortly beforehand, Perrin said he went into Wright’s office to brief him on where things were at — it looked like Duffy wouldn’t play ball, and wanted to fight for expense claims he had always maintained were legitimate.

Novak came in during Perrin’s summary.

“At this point, Mr. Wright interjected and said that, ’Sen. Duffy will be going ahead with repaying his expenses because I will be repaying,”’ Perrin said, adding that he was surprised.

“And so, because I was so surprised, I looked to my right to see Mr. Novak’s reaction, and he didn’t have any reaction to that information.”

Thursday, he said his current chief of staff continues to enjoy the confidence of the prime minister.

Neither Teneycke nor Novak, both of whom are travelling with the Conservative campaign, responded Thursday to requests for comment.

Perrin, a tenured University of British Columbia law professor, was one

of the most relaxed, upbeat witnesses that the trial has seen to date. He sometimes turned to speak directly to Justice Charles Vaillancourt, and asked on different occasions if he could expand on his answers.

He shared small details about his personal life, including a toddlerparent yoga class he attended while

CITIZENSHIP

Civil rights groups fights Bill C-24

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Ray Novak is seen only fleetingly in public and almost never heard from, which makes him one of the most elusive figures in Stephen Harper’s inner circle.

But he was the centre of attention on the federal campaign Thursday as the prime minister was pressed to show confidence in one of his most trusted and long-time confidants and current chief of staff.

Harper’s political rivals questioned his support of Novak in the face of developments at the Mike Duffy’s fraud trail that link Novak to the controversial $90,000 payment to Duffy in 2013

TORONTO — A new law that gives the federal government the power to revoke Canadian citizenship for certain dual nationals undermines the country’s identity and violates its Constitution, a coalition of civil rights groups said Thursday.

The British Columbia Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers (CARL) said the rules that went into effect when Bill C-24 became law in May create a two-tiered system in which naturalized Canadians are treated as second-class.

The two organizations are launching a formal constitutional challenge of the law on the grounds that it violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The organizations take exception to the government’s much-publicized position that the bill is necessary to protect Canada from terrorism, but have focused the charter challenge on the law’s lesser-known clauses.

Vague stipulations about a new Canadian’s intention to live here, plus changes to the procedure by which people can contest challenges to their citizenship, mean the bill could have an impact on WFW72HEDW millions more than Ottawa’s intended target, they said.

“All Canadian citizens used to have the same citizenship rights no matter what their origin,” B.C. Civil Liberties Association Executive Director Josh Paterson said.

“We were all equal under the law. Now this new law has divided us into classes of citizens: those with more rights and those — overwhelmingly immigrants to Canada and their children and grandchildren —who have fewer rights.”

In rolling out the contentious bill, the federal government spoke openly about some of the new powers it would provide.

The new law allows Ottawa to revoke citizenship for anyone convicted of terrorism, treason or espionage offences inside or outside of Canada. The rules also apply to dual citizens who take up arms against Canada.

by Harper’s previous chief of staff, Nigel Wright.

The Novak-Harper relationship looks certain to remain front and centre on Friday because testimony late Thursday afternoon in the Duffy trial by the prime minister’s former lawyer contradicted the Conservative campaign line about Novak’s role in the repayment scheme.

Lawyer Benjamin Perrin testified that shortly before a conference call with Duffy and his lawyer, Novak sat with him and Wright around a boardroom table. That’s when Wright told Perrin he would personally cover Duffy’s Senate expenses.

Perrin said he looked over at Novak for a reaction, but saw none. Perrin re-

mains in the witness box on Friday.

Hours before this testimony, Harper was knocked off message by a pair of questions about Novak after his morning policy announcement — increasing the tax credit for parents adopting a child.

The Conservative leader didn’t mention Novak by name after he was asked whether he still stands behind his current chief of staff.

“I’ve been very clear. When people are working for me, they have my confidence. If they didn’t have my confidence, they wouldn’t be working for me. And in this case I have held the two people accountable who are responsible,” Harper said in King Township, Ont. north of Toronto.

BRIEFS

Families want details of treatment of women prisoners before deaths HALIFAX — Grieving family members of two women who died this year while serving time at a Nova Scotia prison say they weren’t kept informed of their loved ones’ deteriorating health and in one case still don’t know the cause of death.

Marion Park said during a Halifax news conference Thursday that almost four months after her 38-year-old sister Veronica Park died on April 24, the family hasn’t been given details by the Nova Institution for Women on her hospitalization and death at a Truro hospital.

She says she was upset to hear from an access to information official recently that a formal investigation into Veronica’s death was only started by the federal prison on Aug. 17.

“We’re still waiting to find out what happened to our sister,” said Park via speakerphone from her home in Corner Brook, N.L. “We’ve been told it could take until the end of this year to find out the cause of death.”

Park said the nine siblings and Veronica’s 17-year-old son should have been told of her sister’s health issues sooner.

“Our sister started complaining of health problems while she was incarcerated and she was having breathing problems which weren’t being dealt with,” said Park.

“Maybe 20 minutes before she passes we found out she was on the last leg of her journey from the anesthesiologist. ... This is how we were notified. We were not notified by Correctional Service Canada.

Not one call came from Nova Institution to notify us that our sister was having any health problems or that she had just been hospitalized.”

In a separate case, 22-year-old Camille StricklandMurphy died on July 28 while serving her three-year sentence at the Nova Institution for attempted robbery of a pharmacy.

Her family says in the obituary the mentally ill woman took her own life.

Camille’s twin brother, Keir Strickland-Murphy, said he didn’t receive any information from prison staff about two prior selfharm attempts by his sister, and said he felt he could have helped if he’d known more.

Court records show Strickland-Murphy was under the care of a psychiatrist after her release from prison for a prior conviction, and that she had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder and had suffered a head injury during a recent assault in prison.

“I just think family members being informed we might have been able to help or just would have been better for us to know. We would have been able to talk to her about it,” said Keir from St. John’s.

Lac-Megantic’s ‘Granite Lady’ mayor, Colette Roy Laroche, not running again LAC-MEGANTIC, Que. — The mayor who became a household name for her poise in the aftermath of the rail tragedy that killed 47 people in Lac-Megantic in 2013 will not seek reelection this fall.

Colette Roy Laroche, who has been mayor since 2002, said on the town’s website Thursday she will not seek another term.

“The prospect of another two-year mandate makes me think about my priorities,” she said in the statement.

“The workload that is demanded, especially over the past two years, and the illness and subsequent death of my husband (last February) tell me I have to slow down, rest up and think about my health and my family.”

Roy Laroche, who was not giving interviews Thursday, said she believes the next municipal leaders will have lots of work to get through as the reconstruction efforts continue in Lac-Megantic, which has about 6,000 residents.

“Projects are underway and I am convinced that the next town council will have plenty of inspiration in rebuilding our municipality,” she said.

“More than ever, LacMegantic needs men and women who can form a dynamic team.”

The 47 people died when a runaway train carrying crude oil barrelled into Lac-Megantic in July 2013 and derailed, sparking explosions that also wiped out much of the downtown core.

In an interview ahead of last year’s first anniversary of the tragedy, Roy Laroche opened up about the personal impact the disaster had on her.

Two of her cousins died and her son could have died in the catastrophe.

Lawyer plans legal challenge to anti-cyberbullying law

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NOVA SCOTIA

HALIFAX — A groundbreaking anti-cyberbullying law passed a matter of weeks after Rehtaeh Parsons’ death could face its first serious charter test in a Halifax courtroom Friday.

Lawyer David Fraser is awaiting two decisions from a Supreme Court of Nova Scotia justice: one to determine whether messages between his client and a former business partner should be considered cyberbullying.

The next decision will determine whether Fraser can launch his argument that the provincial Cybersafety Act is unconstitutional under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

“The problem is the legislation is so broad that essentially anything you do that hurts somebody’s feelings online in Nova Scotia is cyberbullying,” said Fraser, who has been an outspoken critic of the law.

Justice Glen MacDougall is expected to rule on whether Fraser’s client, Robert Snell, cyberbullied Giles Crouch when the two got into a dispute. Crouch sought a cyber safety protection order against Snell last December that prevents Snell from communicating with Crouch.

Fraser said he sees the Nova Scotia law “as an unreasonable and unjustified infringement of freedom of expression rights under the charter.”

“We don’t think that what took place could reasonably be understood to be cyberbullying,” Fraser said of his client’s case.

Once the judge has ruled on whether Snell has engaged in cyberbullying, Fraser said it’s expected he’ll rule on whether to entertain the Charter challenge of the law.

Fraser said the province, which is defending the law, contends the challenge won’t be necessary if the judge rules no cyberbullying occurred.

The law was passed in May 2013 by the province’s former NDP government in response to public furor around the handling of the Parsons case.

The teen’s family alleges Parsons was sexually

assaulted in November 2011 and bullied for months when a digital photo of the assault was passed around her school. She died after attempting suicide in April 2013.

Parsons’ death also acted as a catalyst for the federal government, which changed the Criminal Code to make it illegal to distribute intimate images without consent.

The provincial act defines cyberbullying as any electronic communication “that ought reasonably be expected to cause fear, intimidation, humiliation, distress or other damage or harm to another persons health, emotional well being, self-esteem or reputation.”

Fraser said he will argue the law fails to take into account such things as the vulnerability of the victim and whether or not there was a prior relationship, the nature of the relationship, or whether the statements made are truthful or could be considered fair comment.

He also blames the speed with which the legislation was passed for the charter oversights and says that will be part of his argument in court.

The bill was introduced April 25, 2013, and was passed just over two weeks later on May 10.

Dalhousie University law professor Wayne MacKay, who led a task force ordered by the province after Parsons’ death, said the definition of cyberbullying in the law is essentially like the one in his report, although he had no hand in crafting the legislation.

MacKay said the law is broad and does limit free speech, but he believes it is an effective one that could perhaps stand a few legal tweaks.

“I think it would be really unfortunate if the whole law were struck down,” said MacKay. He believes the question will be whether there is room for interpretation in applying the law in a way that properly balances the harm caused by cyberbullying and the limitations placed on free speech.

Hard work pays off for local para-athletes

Peter Won carries the ball during Parapan Am Games gold-medal game

If at first you don’t succeed . . . just work harder.

That might seem like a simple and perhaps unrealistic solution, but it was the answer for Peter Won, who made his debut with the Canadian men’s wheelchair basketball team this year after failing to make the grade in 2014.

“After I grad- Tammy Cunnington uated college, I got focused on training more than ever,” the Blackfalds resident said Thursday, after returning from the recent Parapan Am Games in Toronto, where the Canadian squad earned silver medals after falling to the United States in the championship final.

“I feel that I’m just that much better this year than last. I’ve been working harder, working smarter with the coaches.”

Red Deer swimmer Tammy Cunnington was another Parapan Am Games success story, winning two individual medals and a team medallion.

Won, 27, lost his legs at the age of four after being involved in an auto accident.

His family moved to Canada from Seoul, Korea, in 2006 and he became involved with wheelchair basketball while living in North Vancouver.

Won represented Team B.C. in the 2007 Canada Winter Games, then enrolled at the University of Illinois and helped the Fighting Illini capture a U.S. collegiate national title a year later.

He then returned to his roots to play club basketball in Seoul and also played semi-pro ball in Germany.

Last year, Won received an invitation to try out for the Canadian team.

He didn’t survive the final cuts, but returned to the selection camp earlier this year and would not be denied a second time.

“Playing on the Canadian national team is an honour that means everything to me,” he said.

“I’ve been having a lot of fun lately playing national team basketball.”

Icher leads after first round CANADIAN WOMEN’S OPEN

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS COQUITLAM, B.C. — France’s Karine Icher made it look easy Thursday.

Icher birded seven of her first 11 holes to shoot a 7-under 65 and lead after the first round of the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open golf tournament.

“Golf should be simple,” said the native of Chateauroux, who now lives in Orlando, Fla. “Sometimes it’s not.”

The 36-year-old has never won on the LPGA Tour and hasn’t finished in the top 10 in an event this year. She does have five victories on the Ladies European Tour and has won over US$3.9 million.

Her score on the 6,681-yard, par-72 Vancouver Golf Club course was one off the women’s record of 64.

“My putting was very good,” she said. “Today I saw the hole bigger than other days.

“Sometimes you have days like that where everything works. I am quite happy. It’s not an easy course. You have to be very precise. The greens are fast and kind of hilly. It is a good challenge.”

Lydia Ko, a two-time Canadian Open winner, shot a 5-under 67 to sit alone in second.

A group that included Americans Stacy Lewis and Danah Bordner, I.K. Kim of South Korea and Sweden’s Pernilla Lindberg were a stroke behind at 4 under.

Brooke Henderson, of Smiths Falls, Ont., was the top Canadian, carding two birdies on the back nine to finish 2 under.

It’s been a whirlwind few days for the 17-year-old Henderson. She was granted her Tour card on Tuesday after becoming the youngest Canadian to win an LPGA or PGA event with her victory last weekend at the Cambia Portland Classic.

“It was an amazing day today,” said Henderson, who attracted a large gallery. “The crowds were unbelievable.

“Just to be back home playing in

Henderson ran into some trouble on the front nine when she bogeyed two holes but recovered on the back nine.

“Today was a little bit up and down but I was able to get it together a bit more on the back nine,” she said.

“If I can just continue to build off the crowd’s energy the next couple of days I think it will be good.”

Many of the greens on the course slope, making ball placement critical.

“The ball is releasing on the greens so you have to be careful where you are landing it, so you give yourself an uphill putt,” said Henderson.

“You want to stay below the hole.”

Alena Sharp, of Hamilton, was in a large group at 1 under.

“I hit a lot of greens,” said Sharp. “I hit a lot of good drives when I needed too.

“I just need to hit it closer to the hole. That is what I am going to work on tomorrow, get a little more subtle with my iron shots.”

Playing in Vancouver brought back some fond memories for Ko. She was a 15-year-old amateur when she won her first title on this same course.

“It’s a really solid start,” said the New Zealand golfer.

“I had the same score the last time I was here.

“It’s good to start off well and hopefully this will give me good momentum for the next couple of days.”

The tournament has a total purse of US$2.25 million. The winner collects $337,500.

Icher hopes to bring the same confidence into Friday’s second round as she did on the first day.

“When you make some birdies like that in a row you build some confidence,” she said.

“It’s good for everything.

“It’s always nice to have a round like that.”

Icher has earned just over US$234,000 this season and her best result was a tie for 11th place.

“It’s been average,” she shrugged.

“It always can be better.

“I am still looking for a good result.

Hopefully this is the week.”

Riggers win opener at nationals

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Riggers 4 Capitals 0 CHATHAM, N.B. — The Red Deer Riggers got superb pitching and timely hitting en route to a 4-0 win over the St. John’s Capitals in the Baseball Canada senior men’s national championship tournament Thursday.

Red Deer pitcher Dustin Northcott held the Newfoundland/Labrador champions to three hits while recording eight strikeouts in a complete-game performance.

“Dustin threw real well for us,” said Riggers playing manager Curtis Bailey.

“He had good command, good control throughout the game.”

The Riggers didn’t exactly light up

Capitals pitchers Daniel Connors, who worked five innings, and Sean Janes, who came on in the sixth frame.

Connors held the Alberta representatives to four hits and was pitching a shutout until the home team struck for two runs in the fourth inning and then added two more in the fifth.

“I think we might have been a little bit anxious and we hit some balls hard at guys,” said Bailey. “But he (Connors) was around the plate.”

Bailey’s sacrifice fly in the fourth drove in the only run the Riggers needed. Lance Romanchuk led off with a double, advanced to third on Kerry Boon’s single and scored on Bailey’s fly ball to right field.

Boon then came home on a single by Denver Wik.

In the fifth frame, Romanchuk drew a two-out walk, Boon doubled and both scored on an error to Capitals first baseman David Buckingham. Mike O’Neil had two hits for Newfoundland/ Labrador.

The Riggers take on the Chatham Ironmen today at 10 a.m. (MDT) and Bailey expects the host team to present a tough test.

“Chatham always has a good team and being the host team they will definitely have the support of their fans,” said Bailey. “They had 1,600 people at the home run derby last night so there should be a lot of people out tomorrow and it should be a good game.”

The Ironmen dropped an 8-3 decision to the Kamloops, B.C., Sun Devils in the opening game for both teams

Ticats bring strong offence to Edmonton

BRIEFS

FIFA meets World Cup sponsors for talks in secret provoked by corruption crisis ZURICH — FIFA has met with some World Cup sponsors in a meeting they demanded after a corruption crisis rocked football’s governing body.

Little detail was revealed after the closed-door session shrouded in secrecy at FIFA headquarters.

In a terse statement, FIFA says it “reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, reform, and collaboration with its valued partners.”

FIFA adds: “No further comment will be made on the internal discussions between the parties.”

Officials from World Cup sponsors Adidas, Budweiser, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Visa attended, FIFA says.

Those sponsors say in a joint statement that they

PARAPAN: Looking ahead Won, whose family relocated to Blackfalds four years ago, is looking ahead to the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“I’ll stay with the sport at least until Rio, at least another year,” he said.

Winning silver at the Parapan Am Games represents the biggest highlight of Won’s wheelchair basketball career.

Naturally, winning gold at Rio would be even sweeter.

Won, who is currently unemployed and is considering seeking a part-time job, is confident that the Canadian team will be a gold-medal contender in Brazil.

“Certainly, we have a lot of potential because we have a young team,” he said.

“We’ve been improving a lot the last couple of years and we’ll have another strong team next year.”

Cunnington also has the Rio Paralympics circled on her 2016 calendar.

“I’m on the path to the (Canadian) Paralympic Trials in April in Toronto,” she said Thursday, four days after returning home from the Parapan Am Games.

“I will have a couple of big meets before that, but the Trials is the main goal for now.”

It’s hard to imagine Cunnington not qualifying for the 2016 Canadian paralympic swim team considering how she fared at the worlds in Glasgow last month and the Parapan Am Games, which concluded last weekend.

“I’ve had a really good summer,” she said.

Indeed, Cunnington qualified for the 50-metre freestyle final in the world championships — eventually finishing seventh — and posted personal best times in each of the 200m free, 100m free, 50m backstroke, 50m breaststroke and 50m butterfly events.

She then established personal bests in each of her specialities in the Parapan Am Games.

“The times were better than Glasgow. I did really well at the world championships and then three weeks later bettered them in Toronto,” she said.

Attending the worlds was a perfect tune-up for the Parapan Am Games, Cunnington stressed.

“Absolutely, having the worlds first allowed me to get used to things and have a better understanding of all the details, including the starts,” she said. “The Parapan Am Games felt like second nature to me. I was more prepared.”

The result was a silver-medal performance in the S4 200m free and a bronze finish in the 100m free.

She also helped the Canadian 4x50 20 point mixed relay team earn a bronze medal and placed no lower than fourth in three of her four other individual events.

“I’m always surprised when I succeed like that, but I was built up for that to happen, absolutely,” she said.

Cunnington was six years old when she was struck by an airplane at a Ponoka air show in April of 1982.

The accident left her a paraplegic with the full use of her right arm, plus her core and shoulders. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Edmonton Eskimos’ Grant Shaw, right, kicks the winning field goal against the Montreal Alouettes during second half CFL football action in Montreal, Thursday. made his CFL debut last week in place of Bowman.

“We’ve had a lot of changes but I feel we’ve played strong through adversity,” added Bowman, the team’s No. 1 receiver.

“With all the changes we’ve had and we’re still sitting here No. 1 in the west. It’s always a work in process but we’re in a great place to be successful throughout this season.”

The return of Bowman, second in team receiving with 400 yards and three touchdowns on 28 catches, should be a big boost to the offence, especially if Nichols is again replaced by rookie Franklin.

“He’s a big target, got a lot of experience so you definitely feel more comfortable throwing him the

ball because he brings something to the table that not a lot of guys can bring because of his experience and the quality of player he is,” said Franklin who has completed 20 of 31 passes for 279 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.

The game, which head coach Chris Jones said will be a good measuring stick for his team, is Edmonton’s first of five straight against teams that currently all have 5-2 records — Hamilton, Toronto, Calgary back-to-back and Hamilton again.

The Ticats are coming off a 52-22 thrashing of B.C. last week at Tim Hortons Field, where they have never lost. Hamilton is on a four-game winning streak, but is vulnerable on the road at 2-2.

“We’ve had an intense camp and we’re looking forward to transitioning into game play,” said Canadian head coach Jay Triano. “Tuto Marchand will give us an opportunity to play against some of our key competition prior to the Olympic qualifier.”

Team Canada will take on Argentina, Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico in the fiveteam exhibition tournament, which runs through Wednesday.

The tourney is a warmup event ahead of the Aug. 31-Sept. 12 FIBA Americas tournament in Mexico City. The final 12-man roster for that competition will be released after the exhibition tournament.

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Eskimos have leaned heavily on their CFL-leading defence this season, but they may not have that luxury against the high-flying Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Hamilton not only brings the league’s highestscoring offence to Commonwealth Stadium on Friday, but the Ticats also have a defence that comes close to Edmonton’s in most categories.

That means the Eskimos might need a big game from a middle-of-the-pack offence missing starting quarterback Mike Reilly and No. 1 running back John White.

Backup Matt Nichols said Thursday that one of the keys for the offence is to get yards on first down and improve on the Eskimos’ second-down conversion rate of 42.7 per cent, second worst in the CFL. “The main thing is they have great team speed on defence so they don’t let you catch and run for a lot of yards so you have to sustain drives,” said Nichols, who ranks last in passing among the league’s starting quarterbacks with a 61.1 completion rate and 1,350 yards. In his last two games he has thrown four interceptions and only two touchdowns.

“For us it’s converting on second and medium and on first downs making sure we get ourselves in second and manageable positions. They can do some things on defence that make it very difficult to get first downs if you don’t get yards on first down.”

With Nichols at quarterback, spelled off occasionally by rookies James Franklin and Jordan Lynch, the Eskimos have managed enough offence to post a 5-2 record, tied for top spot with Calgary in the West Division.

While the Eskimos offence ranks fourth in overall yardage, sixth in passing and third in rushing, veteran receiver Adarius Bowman, back in the lineup after missing last week’s 15-13 win in Montreal, figures the offence is still ahead of last year when the team was running at a 7-1 won-loss pace.

“Last year it took us to about week 11 before we figured out our offence,” said Bowman who missed last week with a hip injury. “In terms of the knowledge and concepts we put in we are ahead. Guys are still switching positions and things and everybody has to learn, but in terms of the information we’re way ahead of last year.”

The Eskimos have six newcomers starting on offence — linemen Tony Washington and Danny Groulx, running back Shakir Bell and receivers Kenny Stafford, Cory Watson and Derel Walker who

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed Jasper Simmons to their practice roster Thursday following the linebacker’s dramatic exit form Calgary.

The Stampeders released Simmons on Tuesday after his agent went on a Twitter tirade to complain about Simmons’ playing time. Simmons had struggled to find playing time since being traded from Ottawa to Calgary in the off-season.

He had four tackles in four games with the Stampeders this year.

That’s a stark contrast to the 2014 season, when Simmons had 80 tackles and six interceptions and was named the Redblacks’ most outstanding player and top defensive player

Woods has best round in 2 years WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tiger Woods kept saying his game was getting better, even though his results didn’t show it.

On his first day at the Wyndham Championship, his score finally did.

Woods had his best round in more than two years Thursday, shooting a 6-under 64.

Two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton, William McGirt and Tom Hoge shared the firstround lead at 62.

Morgan Hoffman, Jim Herman and Derek Ernst followed at 63, and Martin Kaymer, Davis Love III and Carl Pettersson joined Woods at 64.

It was Woods’ lowest score on the PGA Tour since a 61 in the second round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in 2013.

He and the others took advantage of a low-scoring day at what he called a “tricky” Donald Ross-designed course at Sedgefield Country Club that gave up bunches of birdies after morning showers softened the fairways and greens.

“When it’s like this,” Woods said, “you’ve got to throw darts and go low.”

And while Compton and McGirt threatened the tournament record, the clear story of the day was Woods.

That low score couldn’t have come at a better time for the biggest name in the sport.

He set the tone by holing a 54-foot chip shot on his first hole, the par-4 10th, for the first of his seven birdies.

“Finally,” he said, “I got something out of my round.”

Woods arrived insisting he was playing better than his recent results might indicate.

He had missed the cut in three straight majors and had not finished better than a tie for 17th at the Masters. He’s at No. 187 on the FedEx Cup points list and probably needs a win to move into the top 125 and earn a playoff spot.

Yet he said after last week’s early exit from the PGA Championship that those results belied the improvement he was making in his game.

“I know it’s crazy to say, but I wasn’t playing that poorly at PGA,” Woods said. “Any borderline shot (at Whistling Straits) I never got away with it, and that’s the way it goes. I felt like I was hitting the ball good enough and just kept progressing, and today was just a continuation of it.”

Especially on that first hole.

His shot from the left side of the green landed about 8 feet from the cup and rolled in.

“I went for the shot, and instead of playing something more conservative, the greens were hard and fast, and I wanted to play something long,” Woods said. “I got aggressive with it, and I went for it, and I pulled it off. ... I could see it going in.”

Hoge, playing in the day’s final grouping, made a late charge up the leaderboard, closing his round with a 5-foot birdie putt on the 18th.

Tiger Woods acknowledges the crowd after finishing his round on the ninth hole during the first round of the Wyndham Championship golf tournament in Greensboro, N.C., Thursday.

Compton, who started on the back nine, finished with a 29 on the front nine with seven birdies in that span.

“Any time you can break 30 in nine holes, you’re obviously doing something really cool,” Compton said.

It’s the latest positive for a 35-year-old who earned his tour card in 2012 — four years after his second heart transplant.

He’s chasing his first victory, and so is McGirt, who finished in a tie for eighth here last year. At No. 86 on the points list, McGirt is in virtually no danger of missing the playoffs.

Compton — who’s closer to the cutoff at No. 114 — is just trying not to lose any ground.

Meanwhile, for the others closer to the post-season bubble, things are a little more stressful.

Ernst, who’s at No. 178 and is playing in the final tournament of the 2-year exemption he earned for his lone victory — at the Wells Fargo Championship in 2013 — shot the best round of his four-year career.

Peyton Manning set to unveil his new mash-up offence

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Get ready to see Peyton Manning like you haven’t seen him in years.

Roll-outs.

Bootlegs.

Sprint-outs.

He’ll be lining up under centre or in the pistol (with a running back behind him for some play-action possibilities) instead of the shotgun, from which he’s operated almost exclusively since joining the Broncos. He might still sprinkle in some shotgun, but when the league’s only five-time MVP makes his 2015 debut Saturday night at Houston, he’ll finally get to show off the mash-up offence he’s been working on for six months.

Although preseason games offer more vanilla than a middle school ice cream social, there’s no hiding Denver’s new offence that mixes Manning’s famed deciphering skills and passing prowess with Gary Kubiak’s zone blocking, run-oriented philosophies.

Fans and fantasy players alike are curious how it will play out, but former Broncos coach Dan Reeves, who visited their training camp this week, said he thinks there’s no way these two brilliant football minds didn’t come up with something special.

He pointed to 2014, when Kubiak invigorated Joe Flacco and Justin Forsett as the Ravens’ offensive co-ordinator.

“What he did last year with Baltimore was incredible,” Reeves said. “The zone-blocking scheme ... that’s the start. If you have a good running game, it opens up a lot of things for you. It makes it where a

BRIEF McMahon captures title in Jasper JASPER — Clare McMahon of Red Deer Balmoral recorded rounds of 80-76 and with a 156 total captured the girls title in a 36-hole Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour event which concluded Thursday.

Ponoka twins Shaye and Daria Leidenius finished second and third with respective totals of 160 (83-77) and 161 (84-77). Grant Numrich of the Red Deer Golf and Country Club was second in the junior boys category. He turned in rounds of 82-69 for a 151 total, four strokes back of winner Zach Thys of Spruce Grove (7374—147). Jordan Cooke of Sylvan Lake won the bantam boys title with a 149 total that featured rounds of 77-72, and Alex Gerrard of Red Deer Country placed eighth in the peewee boys division with a 194 sum (100-94). Layne Bensmiller of Rocky Mountain House shot 81-91—172 and placed 20th in the junior boys division.

quarterback can dictate to the defence and not the defence dictate to him. I think it’s going to be exciting to see.”

Manning sat out Denver’s preseason opener at Seattle last week while longtime backup Brock Osweiler had the best performance of his prolonged apprenticeship. Manning, forced to take some days off this summer, wants to work up a sweat in Houston — whether or not J.J. Watt is staring him down from scrimmage or the sideline.

“You always want to be out there and you want to play as long as you possibly can. Whenever they take you out, that’s what they do. But you’re trying to get ready to play a four-quarter game and get ready for a regular season game,” Manning said.

Kubiak hasn’t said how long Manning will play, only that “he’ll play quite a bit.”

Three of Manning’s four new offensive linemen have never played in an NFL regular-season game, but Manning swears he’s not worried.

“It doesn’t affect me,” Manning said. “Those guys have worked hard. Obviously, they’re going to gain experience throughout the course of the season.

They’ll continue to improve throughout the season.

They’ve improved just during this training camp with the guys they’ve been working against every day.”

Manning will have only one of his two Pro Bowl receivers on the field with him. Emmanuel Sanders missed practice all week with a sore hamstring and will be held out. Demaryius Thomas, however, has hit his stride after missing off-season workouts before signing his big contract last month.

“There’s being in shape and there’s being in football shape,” Manning said.

MOVING

But perhaps nobody’s dealing with more than Billy Hurley III. Hurley’s first round came two days after he attended the funeral of his father, who died last week of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The 33-year-old Hurley is at No. 131 on the points list and is only here this week because he’s trying to secure his PGA Tour card for next year.

“It wasn’t really a hard decision” to play, Hurley said, “but it’s certainly hard to do.”

He said he nearly felt overwhelmed on the putting green, “almost didn’t know what I was doing in some ways” during his first handful of holes, then “scrambled my way around” the back nine.

By the end of his 69, Hurley said he “felt like almost a golfer again.”

Adam Hadwin, of Abbotsford, B.C., was the top Canadian at 2 under and tied for 66th. Calgary’s Ted Brown was tied for 87th at 1 under while Roger Sloan of Calgary and Nick Taylor, of Abbotsford, B.C., were both tied for 116th at 1 over.

LeBron James visits Manila to mentor Filipino talents

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MANILA, Philippines — LeBron James hopes his story can inspire young Filipinos to rise from adversity through basketball.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star is the country to mentor finalists of “Rise,” a Nike-sponsored reality TV program aimed at finding young Filipino basketball players, mostly from the countryside, and to hone their talents.

Coming from humble beginnings and raised by a single mother, James said he can relate to what the “Rise kids” are going through.

“I think my story speaks for itself, you know I was a kid who didn’t believe that I can’t make my dream become a reality, and I know it will take a lot of hard work, a lot of sacrifice and a lot of love,” he said. “I just love the game so much that I won’t let nobody tell me that I couldn’t accomplish something, so I know exactly what a lot of these kids are going through.”

The four-time NBA MVP, who last week announced a college scholarship program for kids in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, said it “feels great to be able to be someone that people look to, to be able to accomplish more.”

It is James’ second visit to the basketball-crazy Philippines, where nearly every village has a basketball court. The last time he visited two years ago he was still with the Miami Heat. James said he wants to teach the kids skills and to “tell the stories that I can give them, tell them about the game.”

Djokovic rallies for 3-set win SERENA WILLIAMS REACHES QUARTERFINALS, TOO WESTERN AND SOUTHERN OPEN

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MASON, Ohio — Novak Djokovic smacked his racket on the court after losing serve, seemingly headed for another unexplainable loss at a tournament that has eluded him. In the end, he stopped fuming and started playing like the best.

The top-ranked Serb rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the final set to a 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 victory over David Goffin on Thursday, reaching the quarterfinals of the Western & Southern Open. Serena Williams also advanced while losing only two games in her match.

Djokovic has never won Cincinnati.

He’s trying to become the first player to win all nine ATP Masters events in a career.

“It was a solid first set, but whatever happened in the next 45 minutes — I don’t want to remember it,” Djokovic said. “I wasn’t on the court. You know, I just lost the intensity and concentration. Luckily for me, I managed to bounce back, dig myself out of this hole I was in.”

With things falling apart in the second set, Djokovic slammed his racket three times, drawing a warning. And it kept getting worse against Goffin, a 24-year-old Belgian who is 1-20 against top-10 players. Finally, Djokovic pulled himself together and pulled it out.

“I will try to take the positive out of this match, and the positive is the last six games of the match,” he said.

Djokovic will face fifth-seeded Stan Wawrinka, who beat him for the French Open title. Wawrinka pulled out a 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5) win after Ivo Karlovic double-faulted on match point, his second serve hitting the top of the net.

Also, No. 6 Tomas Berdych beat Tommy Robredo 6-0, 6-1 to reach the quarterfinals. He’ll face qualifier Alexandr Dolgopolov, who beat Jerzy Janowicz 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 win over Jerzy Janowicz.

On the women’s side, Williams needed only 54 minutes to beat Karin Knapp 6-0, 6-2. She lost just 12 points while winning the first nine games.

Williams, the defending Cincinnati champion, is using the tournament as a final tuneup for the U.S. Open, where she’ll try to complete a calendar Grand Slam sweep. Her quarterfinals opponent is Ana Ivanovic, who beat Sloane Stephens 2-6, 6-4, 6-1.

Williams beat Ivanovic in straight sets to win her first Cincinnati title last year.

“It will be a really good match for me and kind of test where I am, you know, just in general,” Williams said.

“Yeah, so I look forward to that.”

A right forearm injury forced Swiss teen Belinda Bencic to withdraw after she dropped the first set against seventh-seeded Lucie Safarova. The 12thseeded Bencic said she didn’t think the injury was very serious, but it was too soon to know if she could play in next week’s tournament at New Haven,

Connecticut.

“I wasn’t 100 per cent, and to beat Lucie or even compete against her, you have to be 100 per cent,” she said. “I didn’t want to retire. This was the first I’ve ever had to retire. I hope it gets better.”

The 18-year-old said her forearm has been sore for some time.

“Every match, it was getting tighter and tighter,” she said. “I was hoping that a lot of (therapy) would help, but I couldn’t do it.”

Bencic was coming off the biggest moment of her brief career. She upset Williams in the semifinals at Toronto last week and went on to win the tournament.

RGIII leaves in 2nd quarter against Lions

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LANDOVER, Md. — Robert Griffin III left the Washington Redskins’ exhibition game against the Detroit Lions because of a stinger and a possible head injury.

The Redskins initially said their starting quarterback was questionable to return Thursday night, but later ruled him out for the rest of the game.

Team spokesman Tony Wyllie said the club wouldn’t comment on whether Griffin had cleared concussion protocol until coach Jay Gruden’s postgame news conference.

Griffin was hurt in the second quarter when he fumbled the ball while scrambling, then got landed on by defenders.

He stayed down on the field for about 5 minutes and was tended to

by trainers, while some teammates kneeled nearby.

After Griffin got up, he walked slowly to the sideline, then kept going until he left the field and entered the tunnel that leads to the Redskins’ locker room. Griffin gave a thumb’s up to spectators as he trudged away.

The 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year completed 2 of 5 passes for 8 yards and was sacked three times and hit hard on several other occasions while playing four series.

He fumbled twice.

The second was recovered at Washington’s 11 by Detroit, which then needed four plays to score a touchdown for a 10-0 lead.

Backup Colt McCoy replaced Griffin. McCoy’s first drive went 80 yards and ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by rookie running back Matt Jones to make it 10-7.

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera, left, and Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin, right, talk as they walk off the field after a joint practice at the Panthers’ NFL football training camp in Spartanburg, S.C., Wednesday.

Golovkin’s title unification bout Some NFL coaches speak out with Lemieux is close to a sellout PARTICULARLY IN JOINT TEAM PRACTICES

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera offered this edict to his players before the start of this week’s joint practices with the Miami Dolphins: You fight, you’re out.

“We told our guys if you get thrown off the field, I’m going to treat you like you got thrown out of a game,” Rivera said Thursday.

So players wouldn’t return to practice.

Dolphins coach Joe Philbin agreed with the approach, and it has worked.

Skirmishes at camps are not new, and to some extent even condoned. But Rivera and Philbin are among a group of coaches around the league who have spoken out to curb the fighting that has garnered training camps headlines in an effort to set the tone for workouts.

And when coaches speak out, their voices are being heard.

Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said he has no patience for fighting in training camp, issuing a zero tolerance policy. If players fight, they run.

“It’s not tolerated here,” Arians said. “Coaches that believe in it, they need to get new jobs.”

The Dolphins and Panthers completed two days of fight-free work on Thursday, aside from one very minor scuffle between Panthers offensive lineman Michael Oher and Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon on Wednesday.

“We talked to our players about making sure we took advantage of the opportunity,” Rivera said.

“We didn’t come here to be disruptive and fight, we came here to get better as a football team.”

Philbin said he and Rivera took measures before practices to make sure players were getting the message, calling them together in a group near midfield.

And once practice started, the Rivera and Philbin split up and went to different fields, each with authority to discipline the opposing team’s players.

“I told our team we’re not coming here to have a bar room brawl — and If we want to do that, we can stay down in Florida,” Philbin said.

“We came down here to compete

and to get tougher and to get a little more physical against a really good football team.”

Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano issued a similar statement to his team before scrimmages with the Chicago Bears.

Pagano didn’t want a repeat of the sideline-clearing brawl that happened earlier this summer between the Washington Redskins and Houston Texans, or even the fights that marred a joint practice between the Dallas Cowboys and St. Louis Rams earlier this week.

“If guys fight, if you do it in the game, they’re going to throw you out — and you’re hurting the team. So you can’t do it,” Pagano said. “... Treat them like we treat ourselves. It’s not about the chirping and the jaw jacking and taking cheap shots.

It’s about getting better.”

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh emphasized to his team before their practices with the Philadelphia Eagles that when you practice together, you have to function as one team — and he felt like the two teams did a good job of that in their first joint workout with coach Chip Kelly’s squad.

The New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints have had incident-free workouts.

Saints coach Sean Payton emphasized fighting is not necessary.

“For as much as we are harping about avoiding it, the (NFL) network puts it on 11 times,” Payton said. “ ...

We are both trying to do the same thing at this period of training camp and that is unfortunate when you see it happen with other teams.

Clearly when you put a team on television like Hard Knocks and then practice with someone else, we’ve seen that formula two years in a row so that is nothing new.”

Although several NFL coaches have praised what they’ve gotten out of joint practices, some coaches avoid it for competitive reasons.

“Had a lot of opportunities to do it,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “but probably from a selfish standpoint, in today’s world, with technology, there’s not a lot of secrets. You have your coaching points, teaching points — you try to teach on the field — and I really don’t want anyone hearing that.”

BOXING

LOS ANGELES — Three years ago, Gennady Golovkin was largely unknown outside hard-core boxing circles. In two months, he’ll take on David Lemieux in an HBO pay-per-view fight for their four combined middleweight title belts at a sold-out Madison Square Garden.

Although the Kazakh star’s charisma and his Canadian counterpart’s passionate fans played roles, Golovkin’s reputation for violent knockouts is the biggest reason these fighters have already sold more than 15,000 tickets.

Only the cheap seats are left in New York’s famed arena for the Oct. 17 fight.

Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) said he won’t allow his soaring stardom to distract him from the goal of unifying every middleweight championship. He already holds the WBA 160-pound title, the WBC interim title and the IBO belt, while Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is the IBF champion.

“Right now is an interesting time for me,” Golovkin said before a packed news conference in downtown Los An-

geles, his adopted hometown. “I don’t lose motivation. My goal is all the middleweight championships. This is a big year for me, and next year will be even bigger.”

It’s tough to get much bigger than a title unification fight at Madison Square Garden, where Golovkin will try for his 21st consecutive stoppage victory. Golovkin’s promoter, Tom Loeffler, deliberately set the ticket prices slightly lower than other high-profile New York fights to entice fans — and they responded even more aggressively than he expected, guaranteeing an eventual sellout.

Golovkin and Lemieux also will make their debuts as HBO pay-perview headliners on a card featuring vaunted Nicaraguan flyweight champion Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez against Brian Viloria.

The pay-per-view decision rankled some Golovkin fans who have tracked his rise from relative obscurity in Germany to major bouts in New York and Los Angeles in the past two years.

Tigers get LHP Randy Wolf from Toronto

File Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jamaica’s Usain Bolt celebrates setting a new men’s 100m world record at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin. One thing Bolt cannot do, he insists, is serve as the lone saviour for track and field.

DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers have acquired veteran lefty Randy Wolf from Toronto and put pitchers Daniel Norris and Anibal Sanchez on the disabled list.

The Tigers also promoted relievers Guido Knudson and Jose Valdez from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Detroit sent cash to the Blue Jays for the 38-year-old Wolf. He’ll start Saturday against Texas.

Wolf was 9-2 with a 2.58 ERA at Triple-A Buffalo. He last pitched in the majors with Miami last season.

Norris strained his oblique Wednesday against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The 22-year-old righty homered in his first professional at-bat, but later hurt himself pitching.

Norris was acquired from Toronto in the trade for David Price last month.

He is 2-2 with a 4.43 ERA overall.

Sanchez is out with a strained right rotator cuff, an injury that has lingered. Sanchez is 10-10 with a 4.99 ERA. He has allowed a major leagueleading 29 home runs in 157 innings after giving up just four in 126 innings last year.

Bolt not quite comfortable being the saviour of a sport under siege BEIJING — He set world records, won Olympic gold medals, danced on the track and made the sprint game feel fun again. One thing Usain Bolt cannot do, he insists, is serve as the lone saviour for track and field.

“I can’t do it by myself,” Bolt said Thursday.

Back in Beijing, where he set three world records and won three gold medals at the 2008 Olympics, The World’s Fastest Man is preparing for the world championships this time around. But his news conference Thursday was less about reminiscing and more about the topic that has swallowed up his sport of late: Doping.

“People say I need to win for the sport,” he said. “But there are a lot of other athletes who are running clean, and they’ve been running clean their whole career. It’s not just on me but on all the athletes.”

A report this summer from German broadcaster ARD and The Sunday Times in Britain found that 146 Olympic and world championship medals in middle- and long-distance races were won by athletes who have recorded suspicious tests. The International Association of Athletics Federations has strongly denounced the report while defending its anti-doping practices.

Even while his own country, Jamaica, has come under scrutiny for its lessthan-robust anti-doping program, Bolt has remained unscathed. But when he

lines up in the final Sunday (assuming he makes it), his main competition figures to come from American sprinters Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay and Jamaican teammate Asafa Powell, all of whom have served doping suspensions over their careers. One reporter equated the race to a showdown between good (Bolt) and evil (Gatlin). Neither runner bought into that.

“I’m not trying to win any popularity contests or win anybody over,” Gatlin said in an interview with The Associated Press, shortly after Bolt’s news conference ended. “I’m trying to do what I’m supposed to do. Hopefully my actions on the track will show that to the people who really care. That’s all that really matters.”

Gatlin, who has this year’s best time at 9.74 seconds, can race because rules specifically ensure that an athlete who has doped can return to the sport if he’s served out his suspension. Some find this unfair. Bolt doesn’t want to wade into that debate, either.

“Rules are rules and are there for a reason,” Bolt said. “If the rules say you can get back in the sport, I can’t do anything about it. I abide by the rules and that’s pretty much all.”

Bolt, who turns 29 on Friday, pointed at his left hip and described what’s been holding him back this year as a joint problem that prevents him from getting to full power on his stride. He’s raced in only one meet all season, where he ran a 9.87 in the 100, but said recent training sessions have been going well.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed outfielder Travis Snider to a minor league deal after he was released by Baltimore earlier this month. Snider and first baseman/ outfielder Corey Hart both joined Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday night.

Hart is beginning a rehab assignment.

Snider hit .237 with three home runs and 20 RBIs in 69 games for Baltimore.

He played for the Pirates the previous three seasons before being traded to the Orioles on Jan. 27 for minor league left-handers Steven Brault and Stephen Tarpley. Hart is beginning his second rehab assignment with Indianapolis since going on the disabled list June 22 with a left shoulder impingement. He started his first rehab assignment June 30 but then ended it July 11 because of a strained right knee. Signed as a free agent in the offseason, Hart is hitting .222 with two homers and nine RBIs in 35 games.

Diamondbacks activate catcher Laird from DL CINCINNATI — The Arizona Diamondbacks activated catcher Gerald Laird from the 60-day disabled list and designated him for assignment on Thursday. The 35-year-old had been on the disabled list since April 9 with lower back spasms. He hit .308 with four RBIs in 10 games during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno.

“It’s frustrating when you can’t go out and prove yourself,” he said.

But his coach, Glen Mills, has been smiling and giving Bolt the thumbs-up after recent practice sessions.

“For me, I’m not worried about anything,” Bolt said. “As long as my coach is happy.”

Along with his health, some time at the news conference was spent getting caught up on the really important stuff: —His goatee will stay for the worlds.

He’s superstitious and wants to stick with that look for now, and a clean shave when the Olympics come.

—At the Beijing Olympics, Bolt dined almost exclusively on Chicken McNuggets. He said there’s better food available this time — and, at 29, he needs to be more careful about what he eats, anyway — so that won’t be his diet. In 2008, his birthday fell during the Olympics, and fans at the Bird’s Nest serenaded him with “Happy Birthday” — one of the many memorable moments he enjoyed that year. This time, though, it falls on the day before the start of competition. “Zero plans for tomorrow,” he said. “I’m sure someone will get me a cake.”

Then, the subject turned back to performance enhancers.

“All I’ve been hearing about the past couple weeks is doping, doping, doping,” Bolt said. “It definitely is sad that it’s in the forefront of the world championships, and it’s not about the competition that’s coming up. For me, it’s sad but I can’t do anything about it because you’re the ones writing about it.”

De Grasse ready to take on world’s best in Beijing ‘HE NEVER TALKS ABOUT (JUSTIN) GATLIN, BOLT, (ASAFA) POWELL. NEVER. BEING A LITTLE NAIVE ABOUT WHO’S AROUND YOU SOMETIMES CAN’T HURT. TAKES AWAY SOME OF THAT NERVOUS PRESSURE.’

Andre De Grasse, of Canada, celebrates with fans after the men’s 4x100m rely final at the Pan American Games in Toronto. When Usain Bolt was sprinting to three gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Andre De Grasse was 13 years old and dreaming of playing in the NBA. He grew up playing soccer and basketball. He could rattle off the names of the best players in the English Premier League. He loved Toronto Raptors star Vince Carter. saying to some of the other parents ’Oh my god, what is he looking at?”’ Beverley adds — and then demonstrates, head up, arms pumping. “I remember Tony yelling over to me saying ’I don’t know how he runs that fast, looking up in the air.”’

But De Grasse was a quick learner.

“He’s an athlete, makes life easier,” Sharpe says.

Beverley saw the speed in her son as a child, the way he could outrun his opponents with a ball at his feet, or in his hand.

And he already had that relentless competitive spirit.

“When his team was down and they really needed him to come back, and win the game, he would fight down to the end,” Beverley says.

“He always had the fierceness about him.”

His nickname “Tip” comes from basketball.

His bedroom is Raptors-themed.

When he was six, Beverley hired a painter to do a mural of the team’s old dinosaur logo on the wall. It’s still there.

Beverley and Sharpe chuckle about that, too.

“He doesn’t want me to change it,” Beverley says.

De Grasse’s dreams of a pro basketball career had fizzled out by Grade 12 when Sharpe spotted him.

Beverley wasn’t sold on her son running track. He’d been accepted to several colleges around the GTA and she told him he should be focusing on making a life for

himself.

But two months after he first sprinted down the track, he was beating the top high-schoolers in the country. A year later, in 2013, he ran 10.25 seconds in the 100 to break the Canadian junior record.

“When you think of all the great Canadian sprinters that ran through the junior years in Canada, (Donovan Bailey and Bruny Surin, to name two) for him to do that, at 18 years old, off minimal training, you know the future is pretty bright,” Sharpe says.

It wasn’t until his spectacular performance at this year’s NCAA championships though that De Grasse finally hit people’s radars.

He won both the 100 and 200 for the USC Trojans, with less than 45 minutes between races in times — just slightly wind-aided — that made him a serious contender for the world and Olympic podium.

Life hasn’t been the same since, Beverley says.

As she poses shyly for pictures, the photographer moving her this way and that, Sharpe teasingly calls her “Paparazzi Mama.”

De Grasse became the face of the Pan Am Games, appearing on posters and billboards around Toronto. The day after his last race, he was at a local track filming with CBC for an upcoming episode of The Nature of Things.

Players in a nearby flag football game spotted him and abandoned the game.

“They swarmed Andre, with their cameras,” Sharpe recalls. “I said ’Andre, you’re a rock star, dude.”’

Beverley isn’t too worried about how her only child will handle the spotlight.

“Andre and I are very, very close, whatever is bothering him, he’s not afraid to come to me and talk. That’s the way I brought him up,” she says.

“As I say to him ’You’re 20, you’re young, you have a whole life ahead of you in track.’ So my expectations for him at worlds is not that he’s going to go out there and win the 100 metres.

“I just want him to do the best that he can on the day and be happy with himself.”

The 100-metre final is Sunday. De Grasse isn’t running the 200 but will compete as part of Canada’s 4x100 relay.

PICKERING, Ont. — When Usain Bolt was sprinting to three gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Andre De Grasse was 13 years old and dreaming of playing in the NBA. He grew up playing soccer and basketball.

He could rattle off the names of the best players in the English Premier League.

He loved Toronto Raptors star Vince Carter.

It’s not that De Grasse didn’t know who Bolt was, it’s more that he didn’t really care about the double world record-holder.

Things haven’t changed much as the 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., gets ready to line up this weekend against the best sprinters on the planet at the world track and field championships in Beijing.

“I don’t think he’s going to be rattled getting in the blocks against Tyson (Gay, a three-time world champion) or Bolt,” says his Canadian coach Tony Sharpe. “He never talks about (Justin) Gatlin, Bolt, (Asafa) Powell. Never. Being a little naive about who’s around you sometimes can’t hurt. Takes away some of that nervous pressure.

“But there’s something beyond that with Andre in terms of competitiveness, that can’t be ever coached or taught.”

It’s that inexplicable “something” that saw De Grasse win the 200 metres at the Pan American Games last month in Toronto, despite running out of Lane 8 and in his sixth race in three days.

“I’ll go on record saying that 200 metres was the most incredible run I’ve seen from Lane 8,” Sharpe says.

“Typically when somebody makes up the stagger on you and you’re in the outside lane, it’s lights out.

“But he never quit. He came back with 10 metres to go to win. That doesn’t happen. Ever.”

And while reaching the podium in Beijing might be a tall order for De Grasse, who’s coming off a busy Pan Am schedule and a long NCAA season, Sharpe would never count out Canada’s new face of sprinting.

“Take in the fact that he ran three high-quality 100 metres (in Toronto), that (200 victory) comes from someplace deep. It’s not coachable. The guy just refuses to lose,” Sharpe says. “I would never bet against him on any given day.”

De Grasse has rocketed up the world rankings since Sharpe spotted him as a Grade 12 student in a high school meet at York University, racing down the track with an unorthodox and unsightly style that still makes the coach laugh.

Over coffee in Pickering, Ont., Sharpe and Andre’s mom Beverley De Grasse roar at the memory.

“Mechanics-wise, we had to fix a few things . . . stop looking at the sky. Like a little kid. He used to run looking at the sky,” Sharpe says, chuckling. “We have videos of some of the events at York, it’s hilarious, we just die watching him, we just crack up.”

“I’m watching him training, and I’m

Geothermal energy in its infancy in Canada Canada as a whole produces no electricity from geothermal sources, even as it has been calculated that Alberta, alone, had a technical potential of 555,000 megawatts and a theoretical potential of over eight million megawatts.

That may be about to change. A company in Saskatoon has designs on being Canada’s first geothermal power producer. Having received permits and a lease of space agreement, from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources, and receiving funding from the Natural Resources Canada’s ecoEnergy Innovation Initiative and SasLORNE kPower, Deep Earth Energy Production Corp. is taking a OJA leading role in Canadian geothermal electricity.

A front-end engineering and design study will be used to determine the feasibility of the project in the Williston Basin, west of Estevan. Plans are for three wells of over 3,000 metres to be drilled into the 150-metre thick “hot aquifer” of the Deadwood and Winnipeg formations. Temperatures at this depth heat the formation water to 120C. Once the wells and infrastructure are in place, water will be pumped to the surface, where it will be used by an organic rankine cycle (ORC) binary plant.

ORC use binary cycle turbines, the most commonly used equipment in geothermal plants worldwide.

ENERGY

This type of facility, employing a heat exchanger, uses the heated formation water to boil a “working fluid. This working fluid has special chemical properties and will change state and become a vapour” at a lower temperature than that at which water becomes steam. Consequently, an electrical turbine can be driven.

If the temperatures from the wells were higher, to the point that water and steam was released, then a flash steam turbine could be used.

If, like in Iceland, only steam was emitted from the wells, it could be directly used by a dry steam turbine.

However at 120C, with a total dissolved solids of 300,000 mg/litre and density of 1.21 kg/litre, this is not possible.

The prototype is designed to produce a total of 10 megawatts of electricity; five megawatts will run three submersible pumps and the facility, leaving a net output of five megawatts to the grid.

The Saskatchewan Environmental Assessment Act requires a project proposal to be submitted and approval to be received prior to the project proceeding. However, with the small footprint and development very similar to projects already approved, all environmental effects are expected to be eliminated with “best practise measures.” Once the project has finished its study, approvals received, and factoring in time for arrival of the ORC turbine unit, an operational date is estimated for 2017.

Efforts are being made to find additional revenue from the plant with the sale of the waste heat. At 65C after it emerges from the heat exchangers and prior to being injected back into the well, possible uses

could include greenhouses, industrial applications, and even real estate developments.

With every megawatt of geothermal electricity generated, it is estimated 5,600 tonnes of CO2 is not generated by hydrocarbon sources. A new Canadian industry could be in the throes of development.

BERLIN — Scientists say they have found rare evidence of a prehistoric massacre in Europe after discovering a 7,000-year-old mass grave with skeletal remains from some of the continent’s first farmers bearing terrible wounds.

Archaeologists who painstakingly examined the bones of some 26 men, women and children buried in the Stone Age grave site at Schoeneck-Kilianstaedten, near Frankfurt, say they found blunt force marks to the head, arrow wounds and deliberate efforts to smash at least half of the victims’ shins — either to stop them from running away or as a grim message to survivors.

“It was either torture or mutilation. We can’t say for sure whether the victims were still alive,” said Christian Meyer, one of the authors of the study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Meyer said the findings from Schoeneck-Kilianstaedten bolster theories put forward after the ear-

lier discovery of two other grave sites in Germany and Austria. At all three sites, the victims and the perpetrators appeared to have been from the Linearbandkeramik — or LBK — culture, a farming people who arrived in central Europe about 5,500 B.C. Their name derives from the German phrase for “linear band ceramics,” a reference to the style of their pottery.

Intriguingly, the sites have all been dated toward the end of the LBK’s 600-year presence, suggesting that members of this culture — which is thought to have developed in what is now Hungary and spread along the Danube River — may have turned on each other.

“It’s about finding patterns. One mass grave was spectacular, but it was just a single grave. But when several such sites are found from the same period, then a pattern emerges,” said Meyer.

In their article, the authors suggested that “the new evidence ... in conjunction with previous results, indicates that massacres of entire communities were not isolated occurrences but rather were frequent features of the last phases of the LBK.”

RDC Trade Sampler Camp STORY AND PHOTOS BY ASHLI BARRETT/ ADVOCATE STAFF Never before has Red Deer College allowed 10-to-16-year-olds to take hold of welding torches, hands saws or try their hand at installing electrical fixtures.

That all changed this week with the Trade Sampler camp, RDC’s newest summer day camp.

The camp, which filled up all available slots and had some children on wait lists to get in, gave

youth a chance to experience five different trades in as many days.

Under the watchful eye of fieldexperienced RDC instructors, campers learned about teamwork and safety as they rotated through welding, culinary arts, mechanics, electrical and carpentry.

A similar camp, where participants got a chance to design, assemble and race their own go-carts, was held earlier in the summer.

With positive feedback from parents and participants from both camps, RDC will look to expand their programming for summer 2016.

Shaylene AbreyWebster tries her hand at welding during a Trades Sample Camp at Red Deer College. The newest summer day camp at RDC allows youth aged 10 to 16 to try a number of trades, including construction, culinary arts, electrical and welding over the course of a week.

Youth’s sex assault charges go to trial Experience starting on Jan. 16 the wonders

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF

A piecemeal trial has been ordered for a youth accused of several sexual assaults, some of which took allegedly place during his involvement with youth organizations in Central Alberta.

The 17-year-old pleaded not guilty to nine charges on Thursday in Red Deer youth court before Judge Gordon Deck.

He can’t be named because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act. His victims’ identities are protected by a court-ordered publication ban.

Represented by defence counsel Kevin Schollie, the youth was dressed in a suit and stood silently as the pleas were entered.

Crown prosecutor Ann MacDonald said the Crown’s case would take about two days. Schollie noted there were several witnesses.

A total of four days, non-consecutive, were scheduled for trial. The trial starts on Jan. 6, 2016, and continues on Jan. 8, 11 and 13.

A pre-trial conference scheduled for this fall may reduce the number of days needed.

On July 7, Red Deer RCMP an-

nounced they had laid charges against the youth after a lengthy investigation.

He is charged with five counts of sexual assault, two counts of sexual assault with a weapon, one count of performing an indecent act and one count of sexual interference.

In May, RCMP opened the investigation when a victim came forward. An eight-week investigation by members from both the Red Deer RCMP general investigation section and the community policing section identified a four more alleged victims.

The allegations are that between 2011 and 2015, the youth sexually assaulted both male and female youths throughout Central Alberta.

Some of the alleged assaults occurred while the victims and the accused were on trips with youth organizations Scouts Canada and Cadets Canada.

Other instances allegedly occurred unrelated to those organizations.

The specific Cadet and Scout groups can’t be identified because of provisions in the Canada Youth Justice Act. However, the youth participated in Scouts activities between 2007 and 2012 and with Cadets Canada between 2011 and 2015. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

Meth-addicted teen faces lengthy probation for series of crimes An addiction to methamphetamine led a Red Deer youth into a lengthy probation for a series of crimes.

The 17-year-old, who can’t be identified because of the Canada Youth Justice Act, was sentenced on more than a dozen charges in Red Deer youth court on Thursday before Judge Gordon Deck.

He has been held in custody for more than two months and was transported to Red Deer from the Edmonton Young Offenders Centre for his appearance.

On top of several court order breach charges, the youth pleaded guilty on July 16 to possession of a stolen ATV, being a passenger in a stolen vehicle, possession of a weapon without a licence, possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of methamphetamine.

His last arrest took place on April 23 following a hit and run west of Sylvan Lake.

At about 9:30 a.m. that morning, Sylvan RCMP were called to a hit and run between a car and truck on Hwy 11 at Range Road 20.

Three people from the car were waiting in the ditch for police, while the truck fled the scene, drove into a ditch and through a fence before getting stuck in a farmer’s field. The two

The mulch is created from evergreen branches diverted from the landfill. On home gardens and walkways, it will suppress weeds, retain water and reduce soil erosion.

Residents can buy the mulch from the Waste Management Facility at 1709 40th Ave. from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday.

The mulch costs: ● $7 for a cubic yard, loaded loose into the back of a truck. ● $3 for self-serve bags, available at the scale house. Bring their own shovel when purchasing mulch by the bag.

The mulch is best used for mature trees and shrub beds, pathways and established flower gardens. Avoid using evergreen mulch with plant seedlings, as this type of mulch is acidic and can damage them. The mulch is available now, on a first come, first served basis.

Comic artist to appear at public market Saturday Comic strip creator Eric Dyck will give his unique perspective on east meets west in Red Deer this weekend.

The artist, originally from Alberta, worked in the Maritimes before returning recently to Lethbridge.

He has created a comic strip, Slaughterhouse Slough, “about many weird and wonderful Maritimey things, as seen by prairie folk.”

He will be signing copies of Fiddleheaded, the collection of all his comic strips produced while living in the Maritimes, at the Red Deer Public Market on Saturday.

Dyck recently moved back to Alberta from Moncton, N.B., where his

occupants fled the scene.

Police found a firearm stolen in Innisfail in the truck and tracked down the two occupants, including the youth.

Police determined the truck was stolen in Leduc and the licence plate was stolen in Chestermere.

In his statement to police, the youth admitted to using methamphetamine and a small amount was found on him.

He also admitted to stealing an ATV near Eckville and told police where they could find it.

In early April, the teen told police that he was being chased by Hells Angels and that he saw his friend die, having his arms ripped off.

Police investigated and found the friend in good health. The youth then admitted to being on methamphetamine for four days.

He had also been the subject of a probation order dating back to January of this year.

Crown prosecutor Ann MacDonald told Deck that because the youth did not have a criminal record and they were non-violent offences, under provisions of the Canada Youth Justice Act he could not order him to jail.

Instead MacDonald and defence counsel Mollie McVey agreed on a twoyear probation order with strict conditions focusing on curfew, counselling, community service and accountability.

The youth said he was sorry for what he did and that he knew it was wrong. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com wife was earning her doctorate. There, he started writing the cartoon Mon Qui Towne, reflecting his observations of life as an Albertan relocating to the East Coast. “They’re like letters I would send home to my family about the adventures I was having when I came to New Brunswick,” Dyck summarized of starting Mon Qui Towne.

Now he has moved back to Alberta to settle in Lethbridge and writes the comic Slaughterhouse Slough, reflecting the observations of an East Coaster recently relocated to Alberta.

Stimulating acquisition VALEANT TO BUY SEX DRUG COMPANY FOR $1 BILLION

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — A Canadian pharmaceutical company is entering the sexual stimulation business by spending more than US$1 billion to acquire the maker of a libido drug dubbed, if somewhat incorrectly, the female Viagra.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals (TSX:VRX) said it has reached a friendly deal to buy North Carolina-based Sprout Pharmaceuticals for cash and a share of future profits.

The transaction was announced just two days after the U.S. Federal Drug Administration gave the green light to market its drug Addyi in the United States. It’s the first FDA-approved treatment for sexual desire disorders in men or women, but one with questionable benefits and potentially serious side-effects.

The companies say that the drug is a treatment for premenopausal women with HSDD — hypoactive sexual desire disorder or unexplained loss of libido — that reportedly afflicts about 10 per cent of women.

“Addyi can be a game changer in women’s sexual health in terms of opening this door, just as Via-

Treatment of erectile dysfunction is a huge global business worth about US$5 billion a year. But drugs like Viagra and Cialis are very different from Addyi.

They treat the mechanics of sex by relaxing blood vessels of the penis to permit an erection while Addyi works on the brain by targeting sexual desire.

Whitehead, who will head the new Valeant division, said Addyi will finally help women who have suffered for years without a single treatment option.

Valeant expects the pink pill will be available in the United States by Oct. 17 through certified prescribers and pharmacies. It’s aiming to take the drug to international markets, including Canada. An application will be filed with Health Canada this year with a decision expected within a year, said Valeant CEO Michael Pearson.

The cost for the daily bedtime drug is expected to be similar to Viagra — up to about US$400 per month — assuming it can win the same insurance coverage.

With Addyi, Valeant is establishing a new portfolio of medications that uniquely impact women, a business it hopes to grow either with acquisitions or through the development of new products.

“We think the drug itself is a great opportunity (to be) a growth driver of the overall company and it creates a portfolio for us in the whole area of women’s health we currently don’t have,” Pearson added.

Ashley Madison reassures members

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Personal information about Ashley Madison clients exposed in a massive data breach this week doesn’t prove their infidelity, the adultery website said Thursday as it took pains to reassure nervous members and suspicious spouses.

The company investigating the breach for Ashley Madison confirmed the website doesn’t verify email addresses used to sign up for the service, nor does it collect phone numbers or store full credit-card numbers.

“This means that anyone could have used any email address to sign up for an account,” Joel Eriksson, the chief technology officer for Toronto cybersecurity company Cycura, said in an email.

“So a list of email addresses is not proof of anyone’s membership.”

He added that Avid Life Media, Ashley Madison’s parent company, doesn’t check the authenticity of email addresses, precisely to ensure no account can be conclusively linked with a specific person.

“By not having email verification, users have plausible deniability with regards to their membership status,” he said.

“Note that verification of email addresses are mostly relevant to sites that harvest personal information as a part of their business model, and want to tie each user to an identity. In this case, that would not be in the best interest of either the users nor (Avid Life Media).”

People can speculate based on the data leak, Eriksson added, but there’s no smoking gun.

Scouring the data for familiar names or email addresses among the site’s more than 35 million registered members has become a popular pastime for worried spouses and curious Internet users worldwide.

There are hundreds of email addresses in the data release that appear to be connected to federal, provincial and municipal workers across Canada, as well as to the RCMP and the military.

Cycura is investigating the breach along with the FBI, RCMP, OPP and Toronto Police Services.

Eriksson says the source code used by Avid Life Media is being audited for “vulnerabilities and backdoors” though it doesn’t appear that any software vulnerability was exploited in the breach.

BRIEF Irrigation important buffer to drought and climate change challenges: study CALGARY — A new study shows the importance of irrigation for Alberta agriculture as widespread drought hits crop production.

The study commissioned by the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association found that every dollar invested by the province in irrigation generated three dollars in added revenue to Alberta and Canada.

It also showed that irrigated lands contribute about 20 per cent of Alberta’s agricultural GDP but take up only 4.7 per cent of the cultivated land.

Association chairman Erwin Braun said the study shows Alberta farmers are using water more ef-

A Herschel backpack is showcased at te Koop retail store in Toronto earlier this week. Founded in 2009 by brothers Lyndon and Jamie Cormack, the Vancouver-based company has gone from selling roughly 8,000 backpacks in its first year to selling millions of bags, wallets, hats and other accessories.

Herschel Supply Co. takes designdriven backpacks to global success

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Jumping from a concept to an international brand in a few short years, Herschel Supply Co. has shown what’s possible for Canadian companies in the fast-paced world of globalized retail.

Founded in 2009 by brothers Lyndon and Jamie Cormack, the company has gone from selling roughly 8,000 backpacks in its first year to now selling millions of bags, wallets, hats and other accessories.

Their products, popular back-to-school purchases, are sold in more than 70 countries and appear everywhere from high-end department stores like Barneys and Selfridges to Urban Outfitters, the Apple Store and their own online shop.

And while the family-owned company doesn’t release sales figures, Lyndon Cormack says that they’re expecting this will be another year of middouble-digit growth.

“We’re growing hand over fist, not only in regions we already sell, but geographically we’re opening new territory, so it’s going to be a pretty fun next couple of years,” Cormack said in a recent interview.

The company has not been held back by a lack of ambition.

“From Day Zero till now, we’ve wanted to be a brand that would resonate globally,” said Cormack.

“It wasn’t like a fluke that we all of the sudden had interest from other countries.” ficiently with modern irrigation — producing more food with less water.

Braun said the government should be investing more in irrigation and water storage to help deal with future droughts as climate change brings more extreme weather to the province.

He added that farmers in irrigated parts of the province have been able to weather an especially dry year in the Prairies that is expected to take overall crop yields down 25 to 30 per cent below the fiveyear average.

“Clearly, climate change will have a big impact on the province as we deal with more extreme events,” he said.

“The government has moved ahead with flood mitigation projects and we believe this study shows the same kind of effort can and should be made around drought mitigation.”

Inspired by global companies like Converse, Nike and Adidas — style-conscious brands that make utility products — as well as first-hand experience working at Vans for Lyndon and K2 Sports for Jamie, the two conceived of a brand that combined a fresh look with old-school charm.

The Herschel backpacks come in a bewildering array of colours, patterns and materials, but all feature classic touches like pin-striped lining and their heritage-inspired logo.

Cormack says they’re constantly updating the line to meet the expectations of their image-conscious buyers.

“We design for people who celebrate individuality, who are style-driven,” says Cormack. “We certainly have eyes and ears all over the world, not only our own but others, to help guide us on micro-trends per region, and how we can adapt the line to them.”

That personalization is key to meeting the increasing demands of consumers, says branding expert Carolyn Ray, managing director of Interbrand Canada.

“Consumers have an expectation that the brand is going to be all about them,” says Ray. She said the company needs to keep asking “where does Herschel fit in the personal ecosystem?” of the modern consumer.

Please see HERSCHEL on Page C4 VANCOUVER — Trans Mountain has filed its final arguments to the National Energy Board, saying its pipeline expansion would increase Canada’s gross domestic product by $18.2 billion during the first 20 years of operation.

The Kinder Morgan-owned company says in the documents that the $5.4-billion proposal to triple the bitumen-carrying capacity of the Trans Mountain line between Edmonton and Metro Vancouver is a “safe and viable option.”

It addressed a number of scathing reports issued by interveners earlier this year, including one that found toxic benzene fumes from a spill could make up to one million people sick.

Trans Mountain says the report is misleading because it leans toward a worst-case scenario without qualification and doesn’t account for the company’s enhanced spill response plan.

It also says 145 draft conditions issued last week by the National Energy Board are rigorous but achievable but is requesting some changes to help keep its construction schedule on track.

The company says it has reached 28 mutual benefits agreements with First Nations groups.

The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 299.63 points at 13,737.00 in what was its fourth consecutive losing session and one that took Canada’s leading index to lows not seen since mid-December.

Toronto’s benchmark stock index hasn’t closed below 14,000 since Dec. 17, when it ended the trading day at 13,861.52.

New York markets were also solidly in the red, with the Dow Jones industrial average plunging 358.04 points to 16,990.69, the Nasdaq giving back 141.56 points to close at 4,877.49 and the S&P 500 down 43.88 points at 2,035.73.

The sell-off came after the Shanghai composite index dropped 3.4 per cent on heavy selling of energy and property companies.

Gareth Watson, vice-president of investment management and research at Richardson GMP Ltd., said the broad-based decline may be tied partly to minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s July 28-29 meeting, out Wednesday, which hinted that the central bank may raise interest rates as early as September.

However, a number of other factors may also be at play, Watson said.

“Energy markets are obviously not helping,” Watson said, noting that the price of oil is hovering just above US$40 a barrel, which is considered to be the level required for many Canadian oil producers to make a profit.

A number of sectors beyond the oil patch have also been hit, with only the global gold, materials and metals and mining sectors of the TSX registering gains on Thursday.

Health-care, a relatively small sector on the TSX in terms of its weighting, was the lead decliner, slipping nearly five per cent.

“This sell-off is pretty broadly based,” Watson said, noting that banks, life insurance companies and even defensive stocks, such as pipeline companies and utilities, suffered losses.

The loonie, meanwhile, rose 0.17 of a U.S. cent to 76.45 cents US. On the commodity markets, the October contract for benchmark oil was up five cents at US$41.32 a barrel, while September natural gas was four cents higher at US$2.76 per thousand cubic feet and September copper ended its recent slide, rising four cents to US$2.32 a pound. December gold soared $25.30 to US$1,153.20 an ounce.

In corporate news, Valeant Pharmaceuticals (TSX:VRX) is spending more than US$1 billion to acquire North Carolina-based Sprout Pharmaceuticals, the maker of a libido drug dubbed, if somewhat incorrectly, the female Viagra. Valeant stock was down $21.47 or 6.7 per cent at $298.75.

Irving Oil to conduct $200 million maintenance project

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SAINT JOHN, N.B. — Thousands of temporary jobs will be created in New Brunswick this fall during a maintenance and upgrade project at the Irving Oil refinery in Saint John described as the largest in the company’s history.

Company officials said Thursday the $200-million project, or turnaround as it is termed, will see half the refinery shut down for 60 days starting Sept. 16.

The refinery’s output will be halved to about 150,000 barrels a day while the

work is underway.

The company does a turnaround at the refinery each year, but says this one — dubbed “Operation Falcon” — will be the largest in the company’s history.

Gary Ritchie, president of the New Brunswick Trades Unions, calls it significant.

“This is the biggest shutdown we’ve ever done here at the Irving refinery in my time,” he said.

“It will employ people from one side of New Brunswick to the other.”

Rogers hits revenue home run with Jays

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays are leading the league in wins, scoring and RBIs, yet owner Rogers Communications Inc. is probably most pleased about the ROI — the return on investment.

Fan interest in the team has surged since general manager Alex Anthopoulos pulled off deals that netted the Jays two five-time all-stars, Detroit Tigers pitcher David Price and Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in the week before the July 31 trade deadline.

Languishing eight games back of the New York Yankees in their division standings, the two squads are now fighting it out for top spot.

3Macs analyst Troy Crandall said it’s difficult to quantify the return on investment coming to Rogers from the team’s recent run.

“You know it’s positive, but putting absolute number on it is very difficult to determine,” he said.

Rogers has numerous revenue streams from the Blue Jays, he noted, including ticket sales, concession stands and merchandise, he said.

And as a so-called vertically integrated media conglomerate, he noted, there are plenty of other opportunities for Rogers to make money off the newly competitive team, whether it’s advertising opportunities on the company’s TV channels, cover photos of the Blue Jays on its magazines or Blue Jays-branded offers for its cable and wireless packages.

“That would just be the smart business thing to do,” he said. “You could get a boost across a lot of their products.”

Crandall added that the higher revenue could ease the pressure on the Blue Jays from the falling Canadian dollar because player salaries are paid in American currency.

Jason Diplock, vice-president of ticket sales and service for the Jays, said in an email that ticket sales have quadrupled since the trade deadline.

The last four home games have been sell-outs, he added.

Rogers does not break out its revenue from the Blue Jays separately in its quarterly reports, instead including it in its media properties.

In the company’s most recent earnings statement — for the quarter ending June 30 — the media division accounted for $582 million of the company’s $3.4 billion in revenue.

Crandall said analysts have long been skeptical of the value of Rogers’ ownership of the Blue Jays, especially during the down years. The team hasn’t made the playoffs since 1993.

“If ROI was the only thing dictating this, I think the money you could derive from selling the Blue Jays could probably be used somewhere else in a cable company,” he said.

Still, Crandall said, there is value to owning a sports team that might not be reflected in the bottom line, such as the cross-platform promotion of Rogers products, advantages in negotiating broadcast rights, the prominence of the company’s brand — and plain old pride.

“How do you put a price on the company name being up on the scoreboard?” he said. “It does look good and I’m sure it helps. I just can’t tell you how much it helps and I’m not sure they could tell you either.”

The Blue Jays are catching the attention of more than just Toronto.

Loraine Cordery, marketing and insights manager at IPG Mediabrands, said her company’s analysis of TV ratings, tweets, and other social media shows that the Blue Jays are Canada’s team when it comes to baseball.

“It’s not just a phenomenon in Ontario,” she said. “It’s very exciting to see that the whole country is getting behind the success of the Blue Jays.”

site. A similar explanation was offered

by Talab Abu Arar, a Bedouin Arab lawmaker in Israel whose parliamentary email address was found amid the dump.

sons Hotels, Cirque de Soleil, and Aldo Shoes have become global brands by being adaptable to their location.

“There’s a kind of chameleon-like quality to a lot of Canadian brands,” says Hanna. “They can fly under the radar in an interesting way so that they look international, and they look stylish, and can appeal to a broad base without having to scream that they’re Canadian.”

To keep itself adaptable to consumers around the world, Herschel doesn’t tout its Canadian background.

There’s no mention of being Vancouver-based or Canadian-designed on the label. Unless buyers happen to know that the name Herschel itself comes from a tiny hamlet in Saskatchewan, where the Cormack brothers’ great-grandparents settled from Scotland, they might not even know the company is Canadian.

Cormack said that while he’s proudly Canadian, he doesn’t want the brand limited to the identity.

Canadian brands are somewhat unique in being able to blend in globally, says Jeannette Hanna, a marketing expert and founder of Trajectory Brands.

DRUG: Rejected twice by FDA

BREACH: Provincial email addresses HERSCHEL: Adapts linked to site to consumers Ontario government technology experts are also looking into the leak after dozens of provincial email addresses were linked to Ashley Madison account-holders. Provincial officials say if any civil servants used their work emails to set up their Ashley Madison accounts, that would be considered a misuse of government IT resources.

Attorney General Madeleine Meilleur’s office says “information and technology officials are looking into whether any misuse has occurred.”

Lawmakers abroad have denied signing up for the site after email addresses linked to them appeared on the list.

Valeant is taking a bet on a drug developed as an anti-depressant that was rejected twice by the FDA. The agency gave its approval even though only about 10 per cent of women treated with Addyi compared with those treated with placebo in clinical trials reported meaningful improvements in satisfying sexual desire, sexual events or distress — a significant factor in HSDD. Potential side-effects are so severe, especially for patients who consume alcohol or certain other medications, that Addyi will only be available

through doctors and pharmacies that receive special certification. The drug can cause severely low blood pressure and loss of consciousness.

Critics have suggested that the FDA gave its approval only after Sprout launched a campaign backed by women’s groups aimed at levelling the playing field between the number of sexual dysfunction drugs available for men and women.

But Whitefield said critics miss the evolution of science since 2010, including additional research, that led an advisory panel to recommend the drug’s approval by a margin of 18 to six.

Valeant will pay about US$500 million on closing of the deal in the third quarter and an additional US$500 million in the first quarter of 2016, plus a share of future profits.

It expects no impact on results in 2015 and just a moderate increase in 2016, but declined to indicate the potential long-term financial benefit.

Alex Arfaei of BMO Capital Markets expects the uptake for the drug will be substantially lower than erectile dysfunction given safety issues with the product.

Valeant shares were down more than four per cent at $306.85 in Thursday afternoon trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Buck 65 book probes career, divorce — even if it’s not all true ‘THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I REALLY EXPLORED THE WHOLE THING. I JUST FELT COMPELLED TO SORT THROUGH ALL MY STUFF.’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — In April, Rich Terfry authored a revealing Facebook post that prompted a range of reactions: concern, curiosity and anger. But he just felt relief. He wrote then that he had “destroyed every important relationship in (his) life by cheating and lying,” including his marriage.

The CBC radio host and artist otherwise known as Buck 65 went on for four apologetic, self-loathing paragraphs, pleading for help and insisting he wasn’t the person his fans thought he was.

He went on to delete the post, but he insists now that the confession wasn’t some impulsive, darknight-of-the-soul mistake.

“Definitely not a great moment that I was in when I wrote it, but it wasn’t completely the product of the heat of the moment — ’cause I thought about it,” he said in Toronto this week.

“I have this thing that I’m ashamed of, and it just kind of keeps getting in the way. And it’s heavy, and I’m ... tired of carrying it around.

“So I just put it out there,” he added.

“I blew it. My marriage was my fault. I cheated on my wife, and I feel terrible about it. And I need help with this, and I just really want to be a better person.

“The response was overwhelmingly positive. Not to say that there weren’t some negative consequences to it as well — that was hard for a few people to hear, I think.”

Why air his failings so publicly, then?

Well, he explains, he didn’t want to give himself the option of lying about his past later.

“It was kind of bonkers,” he said, smiling slyly. “I can admit it.”

He actually considers the Facebook post and last year’s album Neverlove to be companion pieces — and with his new semi-memoir, Wicked and Weird: The Amazing Tales of Buck 65, he has closed the trilogy.

Out this week, the work of “autofiction” blurs reality with Terfry’s rich imagination, embellishing tales of his tumultuous upbringing in rural Nova Scotia, his flirtation with a professional baseball

— RICH TERFRY

career, and his Radiohead-assisted ascent as an althip-hop eccentric.

He figures the book contains roughly a 60:40 ratio of real-to-imagined material.

While shocking anecdotes about Terfry’s being jailed in Russia or hugged by a nude Pamela Anderson after the 2006 Junos might defy belief, he says everything in the book contains a kernel of truth.

Of Anderson, he smiles: “I’m guessing she would remember the night like I remember it.”

His mother is a far less frivolous subject.

He writes that she was abusive, that she taught him to loathe himself and that “she hated (him) until the day she died.”

Since his mother’s death in 1999, Terfry has only publicly probed their relationship on the song Ice from 2001’s Man Overboard. Even privately, he hadn’t necessarily dug this deeply.

“The figure of my mom has always loomed large in my life,” he said.

“This was the first time I really explored the whole thing. I just felt compelled to sort through all my stuff.”

Although he writes in detail about an earlier romance with French novelist Claire Berest — from whom he borrowed the autofiction format — he quite intentionally chose not to write about his marriage.

“I started writing this book and Neverlove when my wife left, and so the idea is Neverlove is sort of the aftermath — me dealing with my marriage falling apart — the book is everything that came before it,” he explained.

“I was trying to figure out: when and where did I become that person that blew this thing, that wrecked this marriage?”

STORY FROM PAGE C5

LOWE: Dark and sinister And when it comes to the topic of her Aunt Sylvie, Grandma Charlotte says that after her 18th birthday, she ran away and was never heard of again.

During this summer, Amy spends her days with her best friend Piper, and Piper’s tag-along sister, Margot. There is also their schoolmate, Jason. He is completely obsessed with Amy, to the point where he’s practically stalking her.

One day while exploring the Tower, the three girls stumble upon an old suitcase filled with Sylvie’s belongings — the one she should have run away with.

Intrigued, Amy becomes determined to find out what really happened to Aunt Sylvie.

But what starts as a curiosity unfolds into something dark and sinister, and it ultimately destroys the girls’ friendship at the end of the summer.

Fast forward once more.

The girls are now grown up. Piper is single and in California. Margot married Jason and is only weeks away from giving birth to their first child. Amy still lives at the motel. She is married and has a son, Levi, and daughter, Lou. Piper and Margot have not talked to Amy since that summer, and Piper is taking it hardest.

One night, Amy stands alone in her kitchen watching the tower, wishing that she could go back in time and warn her mom and aunt what was coming. Now Amy must do something unspeakable — there is no choice.

At 12:15 a.m., something lurches out of the tower and Amy goes upstairs and shoots her husband, son and herself. Lou only survives because she climbs through her window onto the rooftop.

Piper returns to town as soon as her sister calls informing her, saying that Amy was found holding an old photograph of her mom and aunt with the words “29 rooms” scratched on it. Piper and Margot must act fast to make sure they are not next.

This is a complicated back-and-forth plot line, but it’s totally worth it because this is definitely one of the creepiest and most nerve-racking novels I’ve read!

It’s perfect for anyone who loves a good thriller.

Mother-in-law’s jealousy interfering with babysitting Dear Annie: I am a 29-year-old married woman with a 14-month-old son. My husband and I live one hour away from his father and stepmother, “Gladys,” and two hours away from my parents.

We all get along great.

When I decided to go back to work, both my mother and Gladys volunteered to watch my son two days apiece. I pay a neighbour to watch him the remaining day, especially since she has two kids of her own and I want my son to have some socialization. It’s a perfect setup, and everyone is happy except for my husMITCHELL band’s mother, who lives in & SUGAR another state.

She is furious that I allow Gladys to watch my son, stating that she is “not related” and “not really his grandma” and that “she will never love him like a real grandma should.”

My mother-in-law wants me to have the neighbour watch my son for the two days Gladys is now taking, and she even offered to pay my neighbour so it would

ANNIE ANNIE

not come out of my pocket.

My husband has a close relationship with his mother and a polite one with Gladys. (His mother never allowed him to get close to his stepmother, even though she didn’t come into the picture until years after the divorce.)

He’s on the fence about this arrangement. But, Annie, I love Gladys. She is a retired kindergarten teacher who is wonderful with my son.

My MIL is giving me a headache over this. I always thought we had a good relationship and her demands really blindsided me.

Now she’s angry that I have allowed Gladys to have a relationship with our son altogether.

I haven’t mentioned any of this to Gladys, but I’m sure she’d be heartbroken. She truly loves our son and he loves her.

What should I do? — Caught Between Two MILs Dear Caught: Shame on your mother-in-law for being so jealous and bitter that she would interfere in your child-rearing decisions and prevent your son from having a loving relationship with Gladys.

We hope your husband has the gumption to tell his mother that these are not her decisions to make, and that if she cannot accept your child’s relationship with Gladys, she could benefit from counselling.

Enough already.

Dear Annie: My 21-year-old daughter, like many of her peers, has spent a lot of time wishing she were thinner, taller, smarter, more attractive, etc. She is now in college, studying nursing.

For one of her classes, she spent time looking at photos of birth defects. Afterward she called me to say, “From now on, I want to wake up every day being thankful that God made me just the way I am.”

I do not believe defects are inflicted arbitrarily by a capricious God on an unlucky few, but I am glad that my “normal” daughter finally understands how fortunate she is to be just the way she is. — Glad Dad Dear Dad: Thanks to relentless media pressure to be more physically attractive according to whatever standards are current, it is difficult for both men and women to feel satisfied with their appearance.

We are glad your daughter found a way to accept herself as is. (And we’ll skip wishing to be “smarter,” which can often be achieved through education and experience, and which has nothing to do with physical appearance.)

FANBOY DREAM

Contributed photo

Red Deer native Marcus To 31, has done artwork for Soulfire, Red Robin, The Flash and New Warriors, among other titles. His latest project is the comic book Hacktivist, created by actress Alyssa Milano of Who’s the Boss? fame.

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF From collector to professional comic book artist — Marcus To is living many a fanboy’s dream, drawing superheroes for a living.

The 31-year-old Red Deer native has done artwork for Soulfire, Red Robin, The Flash, New Warriors and other titles.

“Even if I couldn’t do this for a living, I would do it for fun,” confessed To, who feels lucky to be working in a field he’s passionate about.

To started doodling when he was just a toddler, after watching his mom draw pictures for his amuse-

ment.

There was no end of subject matter to portray, since unfurling his imagination was easy in Red Deer, he said, noting this mid-sized city was perfect for “running wild, when left to your own devices. ...

“I explored a lot, biked a lot, and did a lot of things that I wouldn’t have been able to do in a bigger city, because it wouldn’t have been safe. ...”

The son of former Red Deer restaurateur Dobie To became known as the kid who could draw.

He remembers being “bugged” by his friends to draw some of their favourite hockey players while at Notre Dame High School, before his family relocated to Calgary when he was in Grade 11.

When he wasn’t playing baseball or hockey, To

would read about the exploits of Batman and Robin or The X-Men. He paid particular attention to how the stories unfolded, especially when drawn by his favourite comic book artists Jim Lee and Joe Madureira.

To couldn’t have known it, but a few years down the road, he would be paid to draw the Red Robin DC Comics series. The story line would feature Robin from the Batman comics searching for his presumed dead crime-fighting partner, Bruce Wayne.

“I was so excited! Getting the chance to draw characters I grew up reading was amazing!” To recalled.

Old-time country group offers magical listening experience

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF If the teenage Lisa Olafson had written a country song about her pending move to Red Deer for Grade 10, it would have started as a tear-jerker.

Olafson’s father, Bill, had relocated the family from Edmonton when he opened Red Deer’s Earls Restaurant in 1984. And “it was a difficult transition for me, leaving my friends behind,” said Lisa Olafson, who is now one-third of the old-time country vocal harmony group Dirty Dishes.

“Red Deer was so small at the time. I was like, ‘Why are we moving to that pea-sized place between Edmonton and Calgary?’ ” she recalled with a laugh.

But the move to Central Alberta turned out to be a major turning point in her life.

First, there was the positive influence of her choir teacher, Keith Pedersen at Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School. Olafson remembers Pedersen strongly encouraging her love of singing. And she became so enraptured with the sweet harmonies created by choral ensembles that she joined a profusion of groups — from school jazz and chamber choirs to the Alberta youth choir.

After graduating from high school, Olafson was urged by former Red Deer College instructor Richard O’Brien to enrol in the then-fledgling Theatre Studies program. Olafson fondly remembers stretching her wings on stage in “fun” collaborations between the RDC theatre and music departments.

Both of those early Red Deer influences ultimately “led me to be in a band with three-part harmonies,” said Olafson, who formed the Dirty Dishes eight years ago along with Suzy Wilde of Toronto and Alison Porter of Peterborough, Ont. The Toronto-based old-time country group performs three times in Red Deer next week.

They are made up of three crooners/musicians who play the ukulele, guitar and fiddle and share theatrical backgrounds — so they love to ham it up on stage.

Dirty Dishes recently released a third album, And

Half-baked attempt at parody TRY AS IT MIGHT, AMERICAN ULTRA SOON GOES TO POT American Ultra Two stars (out of four) Rated: R

Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart in American Ultra. This half-baked attempt at parody misplays its cards early by clueing viewers in to what is secretly going on in a way that’s both unsubtle and unsatisfying.

Mike’s store and says, apropos of nothing, “Mandelbrot set is in motion, echo choir has been breached, we’re fielding the ball,” you’re either not paying attention or you may have picked up a contact high from all the onscreen smoke.

Another small example of the film’s inability to let the audience figure things out: as Mike sits staring at an engagement ring he has bought for Phoebe, as if to say, “I wonder if this could be the right moment,” the character says, out loud, “This could be the

right moment.”

Just how baked do they think we are?

As for the rest of the cast, John Leguizamo is a fun diversion as Mike’s dealer, but Topher Grace wears thin in a role that has him striding around in a suit barking obscenities at commandoes who, like the movie’s first two victims, keep trying to kill Mike, for reasons never adequately explained.

Landis’s script is far from witty, and the violence quickly becomes excessive.

American Ultra has a clever premise. But it misses several opportunities to at least comment on, if not skewer, the spy movies that it only halfheartedly pokes fun at.

As it is, it’s content to generate a low-grade buzz, rather than deliver a true high.

“Do you feel sick?” Phoebe ask Mike at one point (which, judging by the look on his face, he does). “No,” Mike replies, “I feel kind of amazing.” But the way Eisenberg renders that line — like the movie itself — is anything but.

portunities in art abound. “Nowadays, there are so many options,” he said — including video games, TV and movies.

While he still prefers putting pencil to paper, the old-school way, To is also a big believer in continuing to challenge himself with new approaches and tools.

“With art, you only get better with age,” he said — which means his best work may be yet to come.

His latest project is the comic book Hacktivist, created by Alyssa Milano, of Who’s the Boss?, Melrose Place and Charmed fame. Now in its second volume, it’s about young hackers who expose information and spark revolutions while trying to dodge capture by the CIA. The series, inspired by the real-life wikileaks and Sony hacking scandals, is popular enough to be carried by Chapters and Indigo stores.

Although To is now living in Toronto, amid a supportive artistic community, he often thinks back fondly to his Red Deer childhood, and is grateful that this city gave free rein to his youthful fancies.

“I still have a lot of good friends in Red Deer to this day. ... Growing up in a (smaller) place gives you time to

work on your imagination.” lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

like they’re tugging at your heartstrings to try to make people cry.”

By comparison, 1960s-era country has greater authenticity, she added; you get the feeling the songwriters really experienced much of the heartache they were writing about.

Whenever Olafson starts singing on stage between Wilde and Porter, she is transported to a special place. “To hear two beautiful voices on either side of me is when I am happiest. I love singing in harmony, it pushes me through, and I feel I could sing like that forever.”

The singer, who loves performing in Red Deer, hopes the audience also finds it a magical listening experience.

Dirty Dishes perform on Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m. on the Earls Restaurant patio, on Wednesday from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on the Ross Street Patio, and on Thursday from 8 to 11 p.m. at The Olive in Red Deer.

But his art career didn’t immediately take off after he completed a oneyear animation program at Vancouver’s Camosun College. To thought of various Plan Bs, but becoming a police officer or computer programmer didn’t seem as fun as being an artist.

At age 19, he moved to Los Angeles to work at a family friend’s photography studio. And while in California, he put a portfolio together and handed out samples of his drawings at the San Diego Comic-Con. The feedback he got was terrific.

To was thrilled to accept a job offer from small publisher Aspen Comics, which got him working on such projects as Fathom and Soulfire. He quickly learned each story line needed an individual approach. His renderings became based as much on the fans who will be reading the comic as the characters he was drawing.

To visually created a brooding, relatable hero that adolescent girls could fall for — which was his aim, since most readers of the comic were young and female.

To stayed with Red Robin for two years — a long time to be connected to one title, since artists are usually changed after a few months, to refresh the look of a series.

He’s since worked on comic books for The Flash and Arrow TV serials and Marvel’s New Warriors.

As a freelancer, To also drew for the Green Lantern video game, Huntress mini-series and Maze Runner movie.

Dirty Dishes serve up a tasty blend of country, folk, bluegrass, roots and gospel inspired by Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Hank Williams — and well as more contemporary musicians such as Joel Plaskett and Fred Eaglesmith.

“I like old-timey country music, I don’t listen to new country at all,” said Olafson, who dislikes the “schmaltzy,” canned sentiment that she feels pervades many new country songs. “It’s

Jesse Eisenberg is becoming more and more like Wallace Shawn every day. I don’t mean physically, but temperamentally: He rarely strays from characters who are perturbed, angsty, neurotic or driven, in a broken sort of way.

So it’s one of the small pleasures of American Ultra to see him play, against type, a young man who appears to be a stoned-out convenience-store clerk in small-town West Virginia, living with his pothead girlfriend, Phoebe (Kristen Stewart). That twitchy character — who suffers from incapacitating panic attacks — is anything but mellow. Even at his most baked, Eisenberg’s Mike Howell comes across, at his core, as haunted by something.

That’s because Mike isn’t really a spaced-out druggie after all.

What he really is — which I’ll refrain from saying — is equally incongruous. It’s not a huge surprise: the film makes it pretty obvious only a few minutes in, when Mike kills two thugs in the parking lot using only a spoon and hand-to-hand combat straight out of The Bourne Identity. What’s best about American Ultra is the giggly absurdity of Eisenberg’s casting, both in terms of what Mike is and what he only seems to be.

This conspicuous disconnect also is, unfortunately, the movie’s greatest weakness. Directed by Nima Nourizadeh (Project X) from a script by Max Landis (Chronicle), American Ultra misplays its cards early by clueing viewers in to what is secretly going on in a way that’s both unsubtle and unsatisfying.

Dan Bejar’s music career far from Kaputt

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — After a furiously prolific and wilfully eccentric 15 years in music, Destroyer’s Dan Bejar followed the biggest hit of his career with the longest break of his career.

That hit was 2011’s Kaputt, a painterly masterstroke of soft pop that earned critical adoration, nominations for a Juno Award and the Polaris Music Prize, and the attention of an international audience who had otherwise perhaps heard Bejar only in his role as the New Pornographers’ star leftfielder.

Instead of quickly capitalizing on his newly puffed profile, Bejar spent more than four and a half years crafting the followup Poison Season, out Aug. 28.

It was just enough time, the Vancouver native figures, for most people to have forgotten about him.

“To me, that’s like an indie rock generation,” he said recently. “I’m six months short of this record being a complete stranger to the world.

“I assume people who listened to Kaputt have completely stopped listening to music, if I’m familiar with how things work.

“So I’ve almost arranged it so I can-

Destroyer’s Dan Bejar. not bank on any previous success.”

And yet, Poison Season wouldn’t have been possible without the relative commercial breakthrough of Kaputt.

Simply put, this is an expensive album, drunk on strings, horns and percussion, all whisked lavishly together at Bryan Adams’s Warehouse Studio in Vancouver (marking Bejar’s first time in a “fancy, proper studio,” he notes).

Bejar’s initial ideas about doing a heavily percussive “disco-salsa” record faded in favour of the carefully arranged orchestral sweep of Poison Season.

He found himself listening to more jazz, and being inspired by singers from the pre-rock era, people who “operated in this crooning world.”

With his vocals assuming new prominence, Bejar found himself reconsidering his voice.

“I was really thinking about steering (the songs) into my strengths, even if it took me 20 years to find my strengths as a singer,” said the 42-year-old.

“I didn’t feel like it was a weakness — I just had people constantly telling me my voice was strange or unlistenable.”

Did that bother him?

“Destroyer’s always supposed to be an abrasive project, thus the name,” he replied. “It’s never supposed to be easy listening.

“It was definitely supposed to be some kind of battleground between the words and the music. I cram songs so full of words that they can only be sung in a kind of ranting or evangelical style. I drink two fistfuls of whisky and press go.

“I think what I’m doing now is much more measured and thinking about the

music as a whole.”

To many, Destroyer’s sound would seem to vary wildly with each album, a testament to his compulsion toward restless reinvention.

Bejar, however, downplays his diversity.

“I see way more similarities in Destroyer songs from album to album than most people see,” he said.

“There’s a writing style and certain chords that I lean on, which is pretty etched in stone.

“It’s shockingly immobile.”

Well, Bejar is nothing if not reliably defiant.

Poison Season is Destroyer’s 10th album — but of course, do not expect him to betray any sentimentality.

“I do like the sound of it, (even though) it doesn’t really mean anything to me at all,” he said.

“It probably just means that Plan B doesn’t feel like an option anymore. I guess I just churn out records. It’s what I do now.

“I think at some point, all these prickly characters make peace with showbiz. I think that was probably something that I was going through between these two records.

“You just finally catch up to what it is you’ve done and, maybe, what it is you are.”

Author finds solace in unconventional family and he’s had a hard life. So it’s anybody’s guess, really.”

Gibb’s depression started during her graduate work in England in her mid-to-late 20s. It led to a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, which she now feels was inaccurate.

She tried to commit suicide twice by swallowing a bunch of pills and saw several mental health professionals.

When she and her wife split, the pregnant Gibb’s estranged brother moved into her house and helped her alongside Tita and a friend from the Maritimes.

After giving birth, Gibb went back on anti-depressants, which she still takes to this day “to keep things from falling too far,” she says. She also still sees a psychoanalyst.

Gibb had her baby just after publishing her 2010 novel The Beauty of Humanity Movement and she says she “just couldn’t write” fiction after that.

On the advice of author-friend Ian

Brown, she started writing about what was happening around her.

When she looked at her life on the page, she realized: “Something’s happening here. Organically this family is coming into being around this little egg.”

These days, Gibb says she feels “much more of an immediacy to being in the world and more of a connectedness.”

As such, she also feels “less of the luxury of writing fiction, both the time and the imaginative space it requires.

Less of a need as well,” she adds.

“There’s more of a need to write in this direct way.”

Non-fiction is where her interest lies these days and Gibb says she’s writing about religion from the perspective of an atheist.

Asked if she’ll write fiction again, she says: “I can never say never. Not in the immediate future and that’s, I think, all right.”

TORONTO — Award-winning Toronto author Camilla Gibb has struggled through divorce, depression and a couple of suicide attempts.

She doesn’t know the whereabouts of her vagrant father, whom she hasn’t seen since 2002.

And her brother battles addiction issues in Vancouver, which is “not the best place to be in recovery,” she admits.

But the Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist has found solace in the unconventional new family that has formed in her household — one she writes about in her revealing and moving new memoir, This is Happy.

“I think we’re all forlorn souls in our own way and we kind of rehabilitated each other in that space and it endures,” says the author of four novels, including the Giller-shortlisted and Trillium Book Award-winning Sweetness in the Belly.

The family includes Gibb’s 4 ½-yearold daughter and her resilient Filipina nanny/friend Tita, who lives in the basement with her husband and their young child.

Gibb hired Tita after her wife walked away from their marriage — just eight weeks into the writer’s preg-

nancy with her first and only child.

Grief-stricken, Gibb found support through Tita, whose husband was still in the Philippines at the time, as well as her brother and a friend she briefly dated.

Gibb, 47, writes that she and her brother were born in England and moved with their par- Camilla Gibb ents to Canada when they were young.

When their parents divorced, her dad eventually settled in a rundown farm in eastern Ontario. He started displaying symptoms of a mental health issue and it took a toll on her brother, who lived with him.

The last time Gibb saw her dad was at a writers’ festival in Calgary and she doesn’t know his fate now.

“I Google him frequently but he’s not the kind of guy who’s going to have a Google presence and his name is common enough that other ones turn up,” she says.

“At this point he’ll be 74, I guess,

She was predeceased by her loving husband of 68 years, Ernie in 2012. Mom will be deeply missed by her children; Diane (Guy) Adler, Carol (Gerry) Campbell, David (Barbara) Krauss, four grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren, who were the absolute delight of her life. She is also survived by her loving sister, Natalie Longe, special niece, Christine Harris, brother-inlaw, Ted Krause, and sisterin-law, Audrey Krauss, as well as many other nieces, nephews, and a dear friend, Gwen Hewlett.

Gladys was very involved in many ways at Gaetz United Church and worked as Church Secretary for a number of years. She also enjoyed working for the City of Red Deer and Weber Brothers. The Horticultural Society played an important and joyful part in her life as did the Vasa Lodge. She was immensely proud of her Swedish heritage and made three memorable trips to Sweden in later life. Gladys will always be remembered for her zest for life, her sense of humor, her caring and thoughtful ways and above all, her gracious hostessing skills. A special thanks to the staff at Extendicare for their exceptional loving care of our mother these past five years.

She leaves to mourn four brothers: David (wife Brenwyn), Ivan (wife Barbara), Pat (wife Margaret), and Fred; two sisters: George-Ann (husband Chris Hogberg), and BettyLou (husband Daniel Campbell); and many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. Linda was born on August 25, 1957 in Birtle, Manitoba. She developed Kidney disease at a very young age. Linda was on Renal Dialysis for many years in Red Deer, and lived in Central Alberta most of her life. She volunteered for the Kidney Foundation for years, and especially enjoyed their wonderful picnics each year.

She was an inspiration to the staff and patients at the centre. She was faced with many difficult challenges in her life, and she met all of them head on with an unbelievable stamina. She will be in our hearts forever!

There will be a gathering at her home, 5716 - 60 Avenue, Red Deer, on Saturday, August 22, 2015 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. for the general public, and for family and close friends from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. Donations to the Kidney Foundation would be greatly appreciated.

BRIEF Greek PM Tsipras says he is resigning, holding early elections ATHENS, Greece — Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras resigned Thursday and called early elections, an attempt to get a new, stronger mandate to implement a three-year bailout program that sparked a rebellion within his radical left party.

In a televised address to the nation, Tsipras said his government had gotten the best deal possible for the country when it agreed to an 86 billion euro ($95 billion) bailout from other eurozone countries.

The rescue was all that kept Greece from a disastrous exit from the euro but came with strict terms to cut spending and raise taxes — the very measures Tsipras had pledged to fight when he won elections in January.

His U-turn in accepting the demands by the country’s creditors led to outrage among hardliners in his Syriza party, with dozens voting against him during the bailout’s ratification in parliament last week, which was approved thanks to support from opposition parties.

Tsipras has insisted that although he disagrees with the conditions of the bailout terms, he had no choice but to accept and implement them to keep Greece in the euro, which the vast majority of Greeks want.

With the country’s finances now secured, Tsipras said he felt obliged to let the Greek people evaluate his work.

“Now that this difficult cycle has ended ... I feel the deep moral and political obligation to set before your judgment everything I have done, both right and wrong, the achievements and the omissions,” he said in the address. “The popular mandate I received on January 25 has exhausted its limits.”

North Korea denies firing rocket WARNS OF RETALIATION FOR SOUTH’S SHELLING BARRAGE

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PYONGYANG, Korea, Democratic People’s Republic Of — South Korea fired dozens of shells Thursday at North Korea after claiming the North lobbed a single rocket at a South Korean town broadcasting antiNorth Korean propaganda near the world’s most heavily armed border. The North denied it fired any shots and warned of retaliation for what it called a serious provocation.

Officials in Seoul said the North fired the rocket across the Demilitarized Zone to back up an earlier threat to attack South Korean border loudspeakers that, after a lull of 11 years, have started broadcasting anti-Pyongyang propaganda. But the Supreme Headquarters of the Korean People’s Army issued a statement later Thursday denying it had launched any shots at the South.

“Using the pretext that our forces fired one shell to the south, which is not true, it made reckless moves by firing 36 shells at our military posts,” said the statement, published in Korean by the North’s state media. It said the shells landed near four military posts, but caused no injuries.

“This reckless shelling incident is a serious military provocation to our sacred territory and military posts which is intolerable,” it said.

The incident comes amid rising tensions

between the rival Koreas.

South Korea and the United States are holding annual military drills that the North has long said are a rehearsal for the invasion of their country and Seoul recently restarted the propaganda broadcasts because it claims the North planted land mines on the South Korean side of the DMZ that maimed two South Korean soldiers earlier this month. North Korea has denied that claim as well.

South Korea’s Defence Ministry said in a statement that its artillery shells landed at the site where North Korea had fired its rocket. There were no other details from the military.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye convened an emergency National Security Council meeting and ordered South Korea’s military to “resolutely” deal with any provocation by North Korea. North Korea, meanwhile, convened an enlarged emergency meeting of the central military commission of its ruling party.

North Korea didn’t respond militarily to South Korea’s artillery barrage, but warned in a message it will take further military action within 48 hours if South Korea doesn’t pull down the loudspeakers, according to South Korea’s Defence Ministry.

North Korea, which has also restarted its own propaganda broadcasts, is extremely sensitive to any criticism of the government run by leader Kim Jong Un, whose family has ruled since the North was founded in

1948.

It has said the broadcasts are tantamount to an act of war.

In Washington, State Department spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. was concerned by the firing of a projectile into South Korea from the North and was closely monitoring the situation.

“These kinds of provocative actions only heighten tensions and we call on Pyongyang to refrain from actions and rhetoric that threaten regional peace and security,” Kirby said, reiterating the U.S. commitment to its security alliance with South Korea.

About 80 residents in the town where South Korean officials say the shell fell, Yeoncheon, were evacuated to underground bunkers, and authorities urged other residents to evacuate, a Yeoncheon official said, requesting anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak to the media.

In the nearby border city of Paju, residents were asked to stay home. On Ganghwa Island, residents in villages near a site where South Korea operates one of its loudspeakers were also evacuated, according to island officials. South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported that a total of about 2,000 residents along the border were evacuated.

South Korea has said the two soldiers wounded from the mine explosions were on a routine patrol in the southern part of the DMZ that separates the two Koreas. One soldier lost both legs and the other one leg.

ST. LOUIS — Officers arrested at least nine people and deployed tear gas amid protests in St. Louis over the death of a black 18-year-old who was fatally shot by police after he pointed a gun at them, the city’s police chief said.

Chief Sam Dotson said at a news conference late Wednesday that a group of protesters who had blocked an intersection threw glass bottles and bricks at officers and refused orders to clear the roadway.

Police initially deployed smoke canisters in hopes of dispersing the crowd but later resorted to tear gas, Dotson said. Those arrested face charges of impeding the flow of traffic and resisting arrest, he said. A vacant building and at least one car were burned.

The demonstration was one of several Wednesday after the killing of 18-year-old Mansur Ball-Bey of St. Louis.

It comes with tensions already high in the area after violence erupted during several events marking the anniversary of the death of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old fatally shot last year by a police officer in nearby Ferguson.

Two police officers serving a search warrant Wednesday afternoon at a home in a crimetroubled section of the city’s north side encountered two suspects, one of which was Ball-Bey, the chief said. Ball-Bey pointed a handgun at the officers, who shot him.
