The little fair that could ABOUT 150 PEOPLE TURNED OUT FOR THE FIRST LOCAL FAIR IN 1892. ORGANIZERS OF THE 2016 WESTERNER DAYS FAIR AND EXPOSITION ARE HOPING ATTENDANCE WILL SURPASS 100,000.

BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF Hang on to your lunch — it’s back!

One of the most popular and requested midway rides at Westerner Days — the Zipper — returns for this year’s milestone Westerner Days Fair and Exhibition after having been absent for a few years.

2016 marks the 125th anniversary of the tiny fair that has grown into the city’s biggest summer memory maker, drawing thousands through the gates — 99,614 in 2015.

Westerner marketing manager Meghan Gustum says they are hoping to surpass 100,000 in total attendance in 2016 — a year where many people have decided on vacationing closer to home given the slowdown in Alberta’s economy.

Gustum said there will be more rides this year — 42 — and a greater variety of them during the five-day multi-faceted summer event than starts from Wednesday and ends Sunday.

All the mainstay thrill rides will be there, as well as another new ride, the Cliff Hanger, as well as the family rides such as the ferris wheel and bumper cars, and the kiddie rides, such as Monster Truck and Choo Choo Charlie.

To mark the fair’s 125th birthday, there will be fireworks four of the five evenings, Gustum said, instead of just on one night of past Westerner Days.

The skies will light up each night at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday inclusive, weather permitting. The forecast is promising so far — sunshine and temperatures of around 25C each day.

lights was going to be the Lord Strathcona Musical Ride but performances for all of July had to be cancelled because the ride’s horses were exposed to a contagious respiratory virus.

SUMMER SALE

“It was disappointing but completely understandable. Animal safety and welfare is very important to us so we completely understand the decision they had to make,” Gustum said.

What they have in place now to open the North American Pony Chuckwagon Championships races each night is a trick riders group, Hearts of the West - Stewart Family Wild West Show. “They are going to be a great show.”

There will be 27 food vendors, some of them local food truck operators, at the Grub Hub, which will also see a gluten-free vendor this year.

Entertainment in the beer gardens has been doubled and includes Alberta artists with the focus on Central Alberta artists, Gustum said.

Safety checks turn up plenty of problems with commercial vehicles

STORIES FROM PAGE A2

FAIR: Jam-packed with activities Westerner Days is also jam-packed with many other activities and things to see at the fair this year, including the petting zoo, water balls, super dogs, high divers and jugglers, to name a few. As well there’s the agricultural components with horses, cattle, goats, rabbits and other farm creatures.

The history of the Westerner goes back to the days when communities would have a summer or fall festival, something deeply rooted in North American culture, says local historian Michael Dawe.

It’s a way of promoting the community and showcasing some of its entertainment.

The first local fair was held in 1892 on Ross Street downtown, organized by the then Red Deer Agricultural Society. It was very successful and everybody in the community of about 150 people turned out, said Dawe.

There were exhibits of products that people grew or made, and the animals they raised, followed by a huge harvest festival at the end since back then it was a fall fair. As it grew, the fair moved over to the CPR roundhouse, the biggest building in Red Deer then.

In 1902 the society bought the land in the southeast part of the river valley. This was the fairgrounds for the next 80 years in the downtown area where the old Arena came to be (and which is being torn down now to make way for a new one). Big events were always held there, not just the fair.

“It was really the centre of a lot of things,” Dawe said, whether it be sporting or entertainment or jubilee celebrations.

In 1965, the society became the non-profit organization, the Red Deer Exhibition Association, which then became the Western Exposition Association in 1979, an organization today that provides recreational, commercial, exhibition, entertainment, and meeting venues all year long, Dawe said.

By the 1970s, Red Deer’s population was growing quickly, and the fairgrounds had become too small. The first fair on today’s grounds was held in 1983. The land now houses numerous facilities such as the UFA Agricentre with livestock barns and show rings, the Harvest Centre and of course the Centrium (home to the WHL’s Red Deer Rebels), which opened in 1991.

The Westerner is now also home to

Teen convicted of sexual assault gets probation, community service A Red Deer teen convicted of sexual assault connected to his time spent with local Scouts and Cadet groups was sentenced to two years probation and 140 hours of community service.

In January, the 18-year-old man was convicted of three counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual interference for incidents between 2012 to 2015. Since he was a youth at the time, he can’t be identified under the provisions of the Canada Youth Justice Act. Some of the assaults occurred while

The Festival of Trees, now the pre-eminent Christmas celebration in the community, is held at the Westerner grounds.

The Westerner organization would not have grown and prospered like it has without a large volunteer component, Dawe said.

A “large impressive” mural of historical photos at the Centrium will be unveiled later this year, he said. he and the victims were on Scouts or Cadet functions. Others occurred outside of the organizations, but all parties knew each other through the youth organizations.

Crown prosecutor Dane Wolf, who recommended two years probation — the longest probation allowed for youth — and 200 hours of community service, said he was satisfied with the sentence as it was close to what he proposed in May. Defence had recommended 12 to 18 months probation and 30 to 40 hours of community service.

The man was ordered to have no contact with his victims. He must also have no contact with anyone under the age of 16 without an approved adult with him, and must attend counselling.

A two-year weapons prohibition was ordered and the man must submit a DNA sample to police.

High-stream advisory issued A high-stream advisory was issued on Friday afternoon by Alberta Environment for the Red Deer River and its tributaries upstream of the Dickson Dam. According to the River Forecast Centre, water level rises of approximately two metres are possible due to the rainfall in the forecast. Flooding of low lying areas is possible as water makes its way to streams and rivers.

No river related flooding is expected at this time, although the situation is being monitored by the river forecasting staff and updates will be issued as required.

An advisory means that stream levels are rising or expected to rise rapidly and no major flooding is expected.

Minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Anyone situated close to the streams affected is advised to be cautious of the rising levels.

An organized precipitation system began to bring precipitation to the Red Deer and Bow River basins on Thursday and shower and rainfall activity is expected to continue until Saturday afternoon.

Total precipitation amounts of up to 70 mm with local amounts of up to 100 mm are possible in the Red Deer and Bow River basins.

Twenty-five per cent of commercial vehicles recently checked in Red Deer by enforcement agencies were taken out of service because of safety violations.

During the vehicle safety checks on July 5 and 6, Red Deer RCMP and their enforcement partners inspected a total of 67 commercial vehicles at two locations — on Hwy 11A, and intersection of 19th Street and 40th Avenue.

Only 40 per cent of vehicles passed and another 34 per cent required attention. Overall there were 95 violations and 71 regulatory issues identified.

Three vehicles were found to be overloaded and four were in violation of dangerous goods transportation regulations. Inspectors handed out 19 violation tickets.

The Level 1 Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) inspections used thermal technology, which identifies heat signatures to indicate issues with brakes, wheel bearings and other mechanical parts. The CVSA is a North American standard that covers U.S., Canada and Mexico.

A similar recent two-day event in Leduc County of 104 vehicles resulted in 39 per cent being taken out of service and 27 per cent requiring attention. Thirty-five per cent passed inspection.

Vehicles in Red Deer were also checked to ensure they had the proper documentation and registration, that goods were properly secured and

marked, and that those transporting animals were following health regulations.

Vehicles placed out of service are not allowed back on the road until violations have been corrected.

Sgt. Dan de Melo from the provincial Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Branch in Red Deer said that while the numbers seem high, officers do visually pre-select vehicles where they suspect there will be violations so the inspections aren’t completely random.

He said two of the major kinds of concerns relate to loads not being properly secured or loose wheels, which be “catastrophic.”

“Loose loads are the scariest. Once it leaves the vehicle it comes off at the same speed that the vehicle is travelling.”

Fines range from $176 for a loose load to $690 for dangerous goods violations. The dangerous goods infractions could be improper documentation, untrained individuals, labelling incorrectly and expired tank inspections.

Overloading vehicles is a big concern too because they can damage roads, de Melo said.

Red Deer RCMP Sgt. Al Nickolson said 25 per cent of vehicles being taken out of service is about normal.

“It doesn’t matter where you go, I think you are going to find the same rates,” he said.

Worn tires, bad brakes, missing wheel nuts, cracked frames, burned out turn lights are all some of the problems they see. Sometimes it’s an issue of educating drivers, he said. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Man charged in deaths of mother and girl has lengthy criminal record

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — As the family of a slain woman and her five-year-old daughter struggled to come to grips with their “inconceivable and senseless murders,” details emerged Friday about the criminal record dating back 20 years of the man charged in the deaths.

Court records show Edward Delten Downey was convicted in 2008 of trafficking cocaine and possession of an unauthorized firearm.

He was sentenced to four years.

D o w n e y , TALIYAH MARSMAN who also went by the last name Simmonds, was sentenced to 18 months for aiding and abetting prostitution in 1998. He was fined $250 for using a stolen credit card in 1990.

He also faced several other charges over the years related to stolen property, drugs, weapons and prostitution, but they were withdrawn.

Police charged Downey, 46, late Thursday with first-degree murder in the slayings of Sara Baillie, 34, and her daughter Taliyah Marsman.

Baillie was found slain in her home on Monday and an Amber Alert was issued when Taliyah could not be found.

The child’s body was discovered on a rural property east of the city on Thursday.

Police said earlier that Downey knew the victims’ family. Court documents filed when he was charged say he is not allowed to contact Taliyah’s father, Colin Marsman.

Downey’s next court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.

“We all are feeling the most profound grief and sadness that stems from the inconceivable and senseless murders,” said a statement released through police from Baillie’s relatives, some of whom had publicly pleaded

for Taliyah’s safe return.

The statement also thanked police, family, friends and people on social media.

“All your words, thoughts and prayers will continue to see us through these darkened times.”

Christopher Johnson, a cousin of Taliyah’s father, was on his way to visit family. He said everyone is devastated.

“It feels so disgusting how someone could do something like that to a baby and to her mother,” Johnson said.

He and others in the family have no idea who Downey is, he added.

Jenn Onavka, a friend of Baillie’s who has set up an online fundraising page for her relatives, said she hadn’t heard of Downey before and neither had Taliyah’s godmother.

“They did not deserve this,” Onavka said in a Facebook message.

Visitors stopped by a growing memorial of flowers and stuffed animals outside the house where Baillie and her daughter shared a basement suite.

Many of the visitors from the neighbourhood didn’t know Baillie or Taliyah personally, but were rattled by the news.

Amber Brignall took her daughter Madison, 3, to drop off some flowers.

Madison and Taliyah went to the same daycare and Brignall said she’d run into Baillie when the mothers picked up and dropped off their kids.

Madison is too young to understand what happened to her friend, but has been pointing at the TV whenever she has seen Taliyah’s face, Brignall said.

“She just says Taliyah’s going to come back to daycare.”

Investigators were collecting more evidence Friday in the area where the girl was found.

“There’s … lots of work to still do,” a sombre Insp. Don Coleman said late Thursday at a news conference after Taliyah’s body was discovered near a road beside a field. No effort had been made to bury the girl.

Coleman said the investigation has concluded Taliyah was already dead by the time police had been called Monday by concerned family when Baillie didn’t show up for work.

He said it’s believed Baillie was the primary target. The cause of Taliyah’s death was not known. An autopsy was to be done Friday.

Professor worries Stephan case could turn them into anti-vaccination ‘martyrs’

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Some experts worry the continuing legal saga of a southern Alberta couple convicted of failing to get proper medical treatment for their son who died of bacterial meningitis could turn them into martyrs for the alternative medicine and anti-vaccination movement.

Tim Caulfield, the research director of the University of Alberta’s Health Law and Science Policy Group, said he worries about David Stephan’s continued public statements he and his wife were targeted because they didn’t vaccinate their children.

“I hope we don’t have that incredible polarization but that could be one of the downsides of this whole event — this couple being viewed almost as a martyr for the alternative practitioner side of the story,” said Caulfield.

“It almost doesn’t matter if we think David is a credible source of information. It almost doesn’t matter if he has something insightful to say. The problem is he keeps the narrative alive. He helps to keep the myth alive.”

David and Collet Stephan were

found guilty by a jury in April of failing to provide the necessaries of life to 19-month-old Ezekiel. Their trial was told they treated the boy with hot pepper, garlic, onions and horseradish instead of taking him to a doctor, and only called an ambulance after he stopped breathing in 2012.

David Stephan received a fourmonth jail term and Collet Stephan was handed three months of aroundthe-clock house arrest.

Both the Crown and defence recently filed appeals and the couple was released on bail Thursday.

Before sentencing, David Stephan was interviewed by the producers behind “Vaxxed,” a controversial documentary alleging a link between the MMR vaccine and autism.

He claimed it was a parental rights issue and said it comes down to whether “we have the right to vaccinate or not vaccinate without being held liable.” In delivering the sentence, Justice Rodney Jerke criticized the father for his “lack of remorse” and said he seemed more concerned about being punished than about his inaction when his son was sick.

Sylvan Lake receives approval to release water into lake

BY ADVOCATE STAFF

WASTEWATER STORAGE

The Town of Sylvan Lake has averted a critical wastewater situation after the latest tests on effluent finally showed it is safe to discharge it into Cygnet Lake.

The town had made an urgent appeal to residents to help reduce wastewater because it was running very low on storage space in its lagoons.

Higher than normal amounts of rain this summer compounded the problem of the town already unable to discharge effluent. Test results showing high ammonia levels have prevented the town from discharging it since last fall.

The town is permitted to discharge effluent twice a year, providing tests show it will not kill fish.

Joanne Gaudet, Sylvan Lake communications officer, issued a release Friday afternoon that the latest results of a 96-hour effluent lethality test reveal compliancy with federal regulations.

A discharge plan is now underway for one of the effluent cells although there are still serious concerns moving forward.

Effluent lethality testing is ongoing, and discharge will cease immediately if effluent is determined to be acutely lethal to fish, or if negative effects

Trudeau to visit Stampede, announce ring road funding CALGARY — Justin Trudeau is no stranger to the Calgary Stampede but today’s visit will be his first as prime minister.

The prime minister has been attending the annual event since he was a small child — his father, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, served as parade marshal in both 1971,

are observed in the receiving environment.

Voluntary wastewater restrictions remain in effect. The town has noticed a sizable difference in the amount of wastewater entering the lagoons over the past few days, indicating co-operation from the Sylvan Lake public in reducing inflow, and alleviating immediate pressures on the waste water facility.

The town of Sylvan Lake will continue with plans to see a Temporary Diversion Licence from Alberta Environment and Parks, which will help moderate the flow of Cygnet Creek during discharge.

The town will also submit a formal request for an amendment to its approval to authorize a continuous discharge from now until Nov. 30, weather and testing dependent.

Trucking of effluent to the City of Red Deer’s wasterwater system, which began earlier this week, will also continue until the town achieves another passing lethality test result.

The town has also received permission to dewater a previously decommissioned storage cell, which once drained will be used to expand wastewater storage. months before Justin was born, and 1978.

In addition to flipping flapjacks and watching cowboys, Trudeau will also join Alberta Premier Rachel Notley to make a funding announcement about the southwest Calgary ring road.

They will be joined by Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi and Chief Roy Whitney of the Tsuut’ina First Nation, which will partner with real-estate developer Canderel to build three business centres along the road.

The band says the multibillion-dollar project will have a major, longterm, positive impact on Calgary and the First Nation.

Gasoline Alley’s population will increase by 136 residents next fall when the supportive-living facility The Hamlets of Red Deer is expected to open.

A ground-breaking ceremony was held on Friday for the H&H Total Care Inc. facility to be constructed at 338 Liberty Ave., a few blocks southwest of Galaxy Theatre.

H&H, a for-profit company based in Surrey B.C., will own and operate the facility, with Alberta Health Services contracting 126 supportive-living spaces at mostly level four, which is the highest care level in supportive living but not as intensive as long-term care.

There will also be 10 beds for residents with dementia.

On-site licensed practical nurses and health-care aides will assist residents.

“We are always trying to build capacity related to seniors’ care within the Central Alberta area. The demand for the service has grown,” said Kerry Bales, chief operating officer for Alberta Health Services Central Zone, at the Liberty Avenue site on Friday.

“We rely very heavily on several

tionship.”

Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Don MacIntyre said the area has a large rural population that is aging.

“The average age of farmers throughout this part of Central Alberta is 60 to 61. And there are tens of thousands of them and they are going to need somewhere to go. We need to get ahead of that curve in a very real way.

So I’m hoping we’re going to see much more of this,” MacIntyre said.

The province provided $10.2 million towards construction of the $25-million project that was first announced in early 2015. Construction was originally expected to begin last fall.

Hendrik Van Ryk, H&H chief operating officer, said discussion about whether or not to build in the city of Red Deer delayed construction.

“In the end we decided to come here where the biggest need was,” Van Ryk said about the Red Deer County location.

He said there were also not a lot of location options in the city.

H&H has been operating in Alberta since 2014 when it took over the Hamlets at Cedarwood Station in Airdrie, a private seniors facility. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Duffy rejects request to repay $17K

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The latest in the saga of Sen. Mike Duffy and his Senate expenses appears ready to end with the upper chamber poised to claw back almost $17,000 in disputed expense claims that Duffy says were perfectly legitimate.

Duffy’s lawyer wrote to the Senate this week to say the senator won’t repay seven of his claims totalling $16,955 because they were deemed “appropriate” by an Ontario judge who acquitted Duffy of 31 criminal charges in April.

The decision means the Senate committee in charge of policing spending will likely move to withhold the money from Duffy’s salary so that the Senate can recoup the cash it believes Duffy shouldn’t have been allowed to claim.

It also ensures that one last flame burns in the Senate expense scandal — despite Duffy’s sensational acquit-

tal, the return this week of Sen. Patrick Brazeau after charges were dropped, and word that the RCMP is set to close the remaining few files of senators named in the auditor general’s report without facing charges.

The Senate decided last month that it wanted the money back from Duffy after taking a second look at seven claims totalling $16,995. Senate officials said they were taking a second look at the eligibility claims because of new information that “had surfaced in the public domain.”

The claims range from $10,000 for a personal trainer to $8 for personal photos.

At the time, Duffy’s lawyer Donald Bayne gave the Senate a pointed response, calling senators vindictive for going after just $8, for instance, even after his client had been “fully exonerated” on the seven expenses in question. Bayne called the Senate’s persistence “a further compounding of injustice upon injustice (that) should be stopped.”

In acquitting Duffy in April, Ontario Court Justice Charles Vaillancourt said the senator’s actions weren’t criminal, even if they raised eyebrows.

The Crown later said it would not appeal the verdict.

The Senate saw the ruling differently than Bayne and Duffy: Vaillancourt was ruling on criminal matters the Senate was dealing with an administrative matter.

The Senate gave Duffy the option of taking the dispute to arbitration in front of former Supreme Court justice Ian Binnie who would decide whether the expenses were legitimate and how much Duffy would have to repay.

It was the same option given to the 30 senators named in the auditor general’s audit as having questionable spending.

“This is not merely an administrative matter between Senator Duffy and Senate finance it is a matter that has factually been determined in a court of law — the seven impugned expense items were all found to be ‘appropri-

ate’ within Senate rules and policies,” Bayne wrote in the letter sent to the Senate on Tuesday.

“Senator Duffy’s position is in no way similar or equal to the other 30 senators, none of whom had a court of law rule that their specific expenses were appropriate.”

Bayne writes that Duffy won’t take part in the arbitration process because he does not want to “legitimize” a process that is “an improper collateral attack” on his acquittal.

“Nor will Senator Duffy ‘repay’ expenses that a Canadian court of law has held were ‘appropriate’,” Bayne wrote.

The Senate wouldn’t say when it would start the process of clawing back Duffy’s Senate salary. Any such decision to do so would have to be made public under the dispute resolution system set up last year. Jacqui Delaney, a spokeswoman for committee chairman Sen. Leo Housakos said the Senate “has a clear process in place that is fair.”

Liberal push to sell new child benefit

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Federal cabinet ministers are set to fan out into their ridings next week as part of a push by the Liberal government to sell its new child benefit just before payments hit bank accounts and mailboxes.

The riding events go hand-in-hand with an online push by Liberal MPs who have been tweeting links to an online benefits calculator so families know how much they can expect to receive, along with pictures of cartoon families who come out ahead under the new plan.

The push is in response to MPs and federal workers who have been swamped with questions about when the money will show up — July 20.

They are also hoping to take the sting out of messages from the Opposition Conservatives that many middle-income families will get less overall because of tax changes accompanying the introduction of the new child benefit, like the elimination of the child tax benefit and other so-called “boutique” tax credits, as well as the government’s push for an increase in Canada Pension Plan premiums to fund higher benefits later on.

The government says nine out of 10 families will receive more money under their plan, which replac-

es the universal child care benefit payments that all families received.

Those households with a combined, before-tax family income of $150,000 or more will receive less under the Canada child benefit.

The $23-billion program was a cornerstone promise in the Liberals’ election platform.

The non-taxable benefit is income tested, unlike the monthly universal child care benefits the previous Conservative government handed out for a decade.

The federal minister in charge of the program has billed the benefit as the most significant social program the federal government has embarked upon in generations.

The Liberals expects that the move will lift 300,000 children out of poverty by boosting their families’ income above the low-income measure. Nowhere will that be felt more than in Manitoba where the government calculates that more than half the children living in poverty — 52 per cent — will move above the low-income measure.

The benefit won’t count as income federally and provinces have agreed not to count the new money against any income-tested benefits that provincial governments deliver.

Conservative families critic Karen Vecchio said the changes the Liberals have brought in will help low-income

earners, but middle-income earners will find they have less money in their pockets at the end of the year.

“It’s a great marketing ploy, but it’s not actually going to have the benefit that we see,” she said.

“There are going to be a lot of people on July 20th that sit there and say, ‘where’s my money?”’

Vecchio said the Liberals are putting too much faith in the child benefit being a panacea for any financial woes families face instead of focusing on ways to promote private sector job growth.

“When you’re looking at the child benefit, it’s supposed to be that thing to fix the missing link and what this government’s doing is they’re making it as a sole approach that the child benefit is good for everything,” she said.

OTTAWA — As candidates from Ontario and Quebec have lined up to run for leadership of the federal Conservatives, many have wondered whether anyone from the party’s Western heartland was going to join them.

Well, now one is planning to — longtime Calgary MP Deepak Obhrai.

Obhrai, 66, will be the fifth entrant in the contest that will conclude with a vote by party members next May. H e i s t h e DEEPAK OBHRAI longest continuously serving member of the Conservative team in the House of Commons.

During the Tories’ years in government, he held a number of junior cabinet positions in foreign affairs and, while on the opposition benches, he has also served as parliamentary critic on those files.

“Upon reflection, considering my strong background in communities, Parliament, international forum, being a grassroots advocate, I plan to put forward my name to run for the leadership of our party,” Obhrai said in an email to his fellow MPs. “At this time I am in touch with communities and supporters across the country to build a credible team to mount this campaign.”

Obhrai recently led the charge to have the party’s membership fees dropped, saying a planned hike would put the party at risk of becoming an “elitist, white-only club.”

He got a taste of leadership last fall when he presided over the party’s first post-election caucus meeting.

Obhrai assumed the role thanks to changes in parliamentary law requiring MPs to vote in that first meeting on how they govern themselves.

Coup quashed in Turkey

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

France calls up reservist forces after rampage

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NICE, France — France called up thousands of reserve security forces Friday as authorities tried to determine why a Tunisian deliveryman known only to be a petty criminal took the wheel of a 19-ton truck and plunged through a terrified seaside crowd on Bastille Day, leaving 84 people dead and more than 200 wounded.

Witnesses described how Mohamed Bouhlel barrelled his truck in a zigzag path down a crowded Nice promenade, aiming directly for children, for mothers pushing strollers and for families cowering behind plastic benches.

President Francois Hollande extended a national state of emergency that stretched back to the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris that killed 130 people and was claimed by the Islamic State group.

The state of emergency had been due to be scaled back but instead was extended another three months. The government tapped its operational reserve of 25,000 — composed mainly of ex-military or former gendarmes — to relieve its tired officers, stretched by month after month of state-of-emergency policing.

Hollande said the attack was “undeniably terrorist in nature,” but prosecutors said the 31-year-old driver who lived in Nice wasn’t known to intelligence services.

No group claimed responsibility for Thursday night’s slaughter of tourists and locals packing the upscale seafront, where an estimated 30,000 had just watched a Bastille Day fireworks show.

They fanned out to enjoy nighttime street artists, arcade games and food stalls or strolls back to their hotels beside the gentle Mediterranean tide. Then Bouhlel drove his truck into the sidewalk and turned a celebration into a terrifying dash for survival.

Cyril Croisy said he saw the truck accelerate into the first crowds outside Nice’s landmark Negresso Hotel, aiming straight for a stand selling candy to children.

He said he tried to help the wounded, including a woman with catastrophic injuries.

“I was there when her heart stopped,” said Croisy, his eyes welling with tears as he spoke. The 40-yearold Parisian suffered a broken arm while fleeing the scene and jumping from the pedestrian promenade to the beach below.

Ten of the 84 dead were children. Of the 202 injured, 52 were critically hurt.

Among the dead were immigrants and tourists from many nations, including Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, Switzerland and the United States. Two Scots were among the dozens listed as missing.

French prosecutor Francois Molins said Bouhlel had a loaded handgun, three replica weapons and an empty grenade in the truck, which he had rented three days earlier. Police considered him a petty criminal suspected since 2010 of various threats and acts of theft, vandalism and violent conduct, he said.

In March, he was convicted for a road-rage crime when he struck another motorist with a wooden pallet but received a suspended six-month sentence because it was his first proven offence.

Molins said Bouhlel was “totally unknown to intelligence services … and was never placed on a watch list for radicalization.”

Hollande’s government, whose popularity is plumbing record lows in polls, has been buffeted by allegations that France’s intelligence services have failed to get a handle on the country’s jihadist threat.

France has known for years that it is a top Islamic State target, and France also is the biggest source for European recruits for IS, with more than 1,000 fighting in Syria or Iraq.

Hollande, who flew to Nice visit the injured in Pasteur Hospital, declared three days of national mourning from Saturday.

Members of Turkey’s armed forces said they had taken control of the country, but Turkish officials said the coup attempt had been repelled early Saturday morning in a night of violence, according to state-run media. since been blamed for a series of deadly bombings on Turkish soil.

The coup attempt began late Friday, with a statement from the military saying it had seized control “to reinstall the constitutional order, democracy, human rights and freedoms, to ensure that the rule of law once again reigns in the country, for law and order to be reinstated.”

Edmonton student missing as Trudeau pledges solidarity with France EDMONTON — A university student remained missing Friday while a second felt lucky to have survived after a deadly truck attack in France.

“There is nothing worse than the possibility that you might lose a student, because all of the future and all of the promise that goes with that is no longer there,” said the president of MacEwan University after news that Mykhaylo (Misha) Bazelevskyy was unaccounted for.

“We continue to hope we continue to pray,” said David Atkinson At least 84 people were killed when a truck full of weapons plowed into a crowd of Bastille Day revellers in the resort city of Nice late Thursday.

Of more than 200 injured, 25 were on life support, French authorities said.

Bazelevskyy, a Ukrainian national who has permanent resident status in Canada, was one of five students and one MacEwan faculty member attending a summer program at the European Innovation Academy.

Two other tanks and a military vehicle were stationed in front of the VIP terminal. Dogan said the soldiers had entered the tower and stopped all flights.

glais to enjoy the fireworks, but inclement weather convinced three of them to turn back, said John Corlett, the university’s provost and vice-president academic.

“Misha and one of our other students were on the promenade when the truck went into the crowd and the violence occurred,” Corlett said.

“It was a chaotic kind of moment. At this point all we know for sure is that Misha is missing.

Different reports have come back that he was involved in different ways. We’re just not sure.”

Corlett said the student with whom he has been in contact told him the pair were “quite close.”

“He feels fortunate that he survived,” he said.

“The truck was accelerating through about a two-kilometre pathway down the promenade and into the crowd, so there was just total chaos.”

Making phone calls to the parents of the students who had returned to their residence was tough, Corlett said.

“They had not been following the news that day and they had not been aware that there had been events in Nice at all. They are trying to deal with a very, very difficult situation.”

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish officials said Saturday morning the government had appeared to have repelled an attempted military coup following a night of explosions, air battles and gunfire across the capital that left at least 17 dead, according to staterun media.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in an interview over FaceTime with the CNN Turk station, dismissed the military action as “an attempt at an uprising by a minority within our armed forces.” His office declined to disclose his whereabouts, saying only that he was in a secure location.

Turks took to the streets of cities across the country waving national flags throughout the attempted coup to show their support for the government.

By Saturday morning, a top Turkish official said the coup attempt appeared to have been repelled.

The senior official told The Associated Press that all government officials were in charge of their offices.

The official requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Earlier, Nuh Yilmaz, a spokesman for Turkish National Intelligence told CNN Turk the coup attempt had been quashed. Yilmaz added that Gen. Hulusi Akar, the military chief of staff, was back in control and “everything is returning to normal.”

The chaos, included a reported bomb explosion at the parliament, capped a period of political turmoil in Turkey blamed on Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian rule, which has included a government shake up and a crackdown on dissidents and opposition media.

Critics also have blamed Erdogan for taking a hard line on Turkey’s Kurdish rebels after the collapse of peace efforts, leading to deadly clashes that have increased military casualties. His government has also come under scrutiny for allegedly tolerating the flow of fighters and weapons to rebel groups fighting the government in Syria in the early years of the civil war there, fueling the growth of the Islamic State group. That policy, according to analysts, backfired when Turkey took on a more active role in the U.S.-led coalition against the extremists, who have

Cunnington breaks record — twice

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS GATINEAU, Que. — A world record fell and several of Canada’s swimmers heading to this summer’s Paralympics showed their training is on track during Friday’s opening day of the 2016 Speedo Can Am Para-swimming Championships.

Tammy Cunnington of Red Deer twice broke her own world record in the S4 50-metre butterfly. She swam 52.09 in the evening finals after being clocked in 52.70 in the morning heats.

That broke the world-record time of

52.90 she set at the Para-swimming trials in April at Toronto.

“It’s exciting to have the consistency to be going faster than I was at trials” said the 40-year-old Cunnington. “It means a lot because it’s going to be important

to go fast in the morning and faster again at night in Rio.” Veteran Benoit Huot of Longueuil, Que., swimming with a full beard. won the men’s S10 400-m freestyle in four minutes, 18.63 seconds. It was his best in-season time since 2012.

“I’m very pleased,” said Huot, who will be competing in his fifth Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro this summer.

“It’s good, especially with this big beard.

“It was a solid race tonight.”

Isaac Bouckley of Port Hope, Ont., who will be Huot’s teammate in Rio, was second in 4:32.69.

In a battle of Paralympic team teammates, Morgan Bird won the S8 400-m freestyle. Sabrina Duchesne was second while Abi Tripp was third.

Bird’s time of 5:19.32 was the fastest she has swam since the 2012 Paralympics in London, where she finished fourth.

“Swimming with my teammates makes a really big difference in a positive way,” said the Calgary resident.

“Racing with them side by side helps put me in the zone.”

Mickelson shines in wind and rain

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TROON, Scotland — Phil Mickelson wore a black rain suit that he didn’t need until he approached the far end of Royal Troon and already had stretched his lead. Henrik Stenson opened the curtains at his house expecting to see rain coming down sideways and was pleasantly surprised by the calm.

Good golf and the good end of the draw is tough to beat in the British Open.

Mickelson hit a wedge that spun back toward the cup until it stopped about two postage stamps away on the par-3 eighth hole, the signature shot in his 2-under 69 that allowed him to back up his record-tying start and take the 36-hole lead in a major for the first time in three years.

“I thought it was a good round to back up the low round yesterday,” Mickelson said. “I played kind of stress-free golf again. I made one or two bad swings that led to bogeys.

But for the most part, kept the ball in play.”

He just couldn’t shake Stenson, who timed his birdies perfectly.

The Swede made three straight birdies before the wind showed up and the clouds began to spit rain. He added two more during lulls in the increasingly bad weather. And he wound

“I was five back of Phil from yesterday, so of course I was hoping to gain a little,” Stenson said. “And the way it turned out, I gained quite a lot. It’s still early in the tournament, though. We’re only halfway through. But so far, so good. I’m happy with the way I played the course. It’s not easy out there.”

Try telling that to the players who had to endure an afternoon of gusts that topped 30 mph and rain so heavy at times it was hard to see.

“Some draws go your way,” Rory McIlroy said, “and some draws don’t.”

Just look at the leaderboard.

Mickelson was at 10-under 132, the best 36-hole total ever to lead at Royal Troon. Stenson, a runner-up to Mickelson at Muirfield in 2013, was one shot behind. Soren Kjeldsen and Keegan Bradley each shot 68 and were three shots behind.

The top 14 players going into the weekend all played Friday morning. Of the 26 players still under par, only four of them played in the afternoon.

The nature of links golf, and this

championship, is getting the good side of the tee times. Mickelson was soaked when he walked off the course, though he managed to get in eight holes before the rain arrived. On the ninth hole, he had his caddie hold the umbrella over his ball on a 10-foot par putt, walking away at the last minute to watch his boss roll in into the cup, like he’s been doing all week.

Jordan Spieth? He was lucky to still be playing.

Raonic cites health concerns for not competing in Rio

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canadian tennis star Milos Raonic won’t be participating in this summer’s Olympic Games.

The product of Thornhill, Ont., announced on Friday his decision to not participate in the Rio Games amid health concerns.

“It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my withdrawal from participation in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games,” he said on his Facebook page.

“After much deliberation with my family and coaches, I am making this decision for a variety of health concerns including the uncertainty around the Zika virus.

“This was a difficult, personal choice and I do not wish for it to impact the decision of any other athlete heading to the Games. I would like to thank Tennis Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee for their ongoing support. I am very proud to have competed for Canada at the London 2012 Summer Olympics, and on the world stage at several Davis Cup events. I look forward to cheering on Team Canada this summer.”

Raonic, ranked No. 7 in the world, isn’t the first high-profile athlete to withdraw from the Games amid concerns about the Zika virus. Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott

were among a host of golfers to decide against competing because of health concerns.

“We fully respect Milos’ decision as we are sure this is not one he made easily,” Tennis Canada president and CEO Kelly Murumets said in a statement. “Milos represents Canada proudly week after week around the world and we look forward to future opportunities for him to join Team Canada again on the court.”

Tennis Canada said, pending invitation by the International Tennis Federation and Canadian Olympic Committee approval, it will nominate veteran Daniel Nestor of Toronto to replace Raonic in the men’s doubles draw to partner with Vasek Pospisil of Vancouver.

On Sunday, the 25-year-old Raonic lost to Britain’s Andy Murray in straight sets in the men’s Wimbledon final. Raonic defeated Swiss star Roger Federer in a five-set semifinal match to become the first Canadian to reach the men’s final.

In the fourth round, Raonic rallied from a two-set deficit to beat Belgium’s David Goffin and advance to the quarter-finals, where he beat Sam Querrey in four sets.

Raonic’s Wimbledon final appearance was the best-ever singles performance by a male Canadian tennis player at a Grand Slam tournament.

Tiger-Cats grind out win in Montreal

B2

RENEGADES BEAT WARRIORS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Hamilton 31 Montreal 7 MONTREAL — Brandon Banks showed once again that he is the master game-breaker in the CFL. The slippery Hamilton kick returner broke open a turgid game with an 86-yard punt return touchdown to send the Tigers-Cats to 31-7 victory over the Montreal Alouettes on Friday night.

“My job is to go out and make big plays and change the field and I was able to do that,” said Banks, who scored on a kick return for a second straight game to help Hamilton (2-2) end a two-game losing run.

“It’s big, especially on the road and in the division. We didn’t like the way we played the last two weeks. It was a big step to come in here to win.”

The Tiger-Cats led 5-4 at the half in a game ruled by defence, mistakes and lots of penalty flags.

But 3:47 into the second half, Banks fielded a Boris Bede punt and went straight up the middle for the touchdown. He credited his blockers and said he was barely touched.

C.J. Gable ran in a touchdown and Brett Maher added five field goals.

Bede had two boots and a single for Montreal (1-2) before 20,098 at Percival Molson Stadium.

The East Division is collectively 8-0 on the road this season.

Montreal’s Rakeem Cato struggled at times in his first start of the season in place of injured Kevin Glenn, but it didn’t help that receivers S.J. Green and Kenny Stafford and running back Tyrell Sutton were out with injuries.

Rookie Vernon Adams Jr. took over in the fourth quarter.

Cato’s numbers were almost identical to Hamilton’s Jeremiah Masoli, who had a fourth start in place of Zach Collaros. Collaros is off the injured list but wasn’t dressed. Cato completed 18of-25 passes for 203 yards while Masoli went 19-of-27 passing for 208 yards.

The Hamilton defence posted eight quarterback sacks.

“We didn’t protect very well, we didn’t run the ball,” said Montreal coach and general manager Jim Popp.

“I thought Rakeem did OK. “He got a lot of pressure and that disrupted things. To take that pressure off, you have to run the ball and we didn’t do that.”

Running back Brandon Rutley gained only 29 yards on 10 carries.

A 40-yard Cato toss to Duron Carter helped set up Bede’s 42-yard field goal 10:57 into the game and he added a single on a missed 43-yard attempt in the second quarter. Bede’s fourth missed kick in three games matched his total for all of 2015, when he was 36 for 40.

Sports BRIEFS Defending Indy Toronto champion has overcome ups and downs of racing TORONTO — It hasn’t always been good times and checkered flags for IndyCar driver Josef Newgarden.

The defending Honda Indy Toronto champion has overcome low points during his 2012 rookie season when he started 14 races and only led for one lap the entire year.

He didn’t have a teammate, was dealing with a new car and was part of a small team.

“About halfway through that year it got really difficult at certain points to have faith and motivation in what you were doing,” Newgarden said Friday.

“I just remember thinking, ‘What is going on? I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what we need from a big picture, whether that’s a team thing or a car set up standpoint’. There was a lot going on.

“If you can imagine loving something so much, more than anything else in life and then losing your love for it. It’s kind of an odd thing to happen, and then you regain second in 2:07.43.

Tess Routliffe of Caledon, Ont., won the women’s S7 400-m freestyle in 5:51.15, Devin Gotell of Antigonish, N.S., won the S13 400-m in 4:44.39 and Katarina Roxon of Kippens, N.L. won the S9 100-m fly in 1:16.58.

In the men’s 100-m fly, Alec Elliot of Kitchener, Ont., won the S10 race in 59.42 seconds while Nicolas-Guy Turbide of Quebec City took the S13 in 1:04.85.

Sarah Mehain of Vernon, B.C., won the women’s S7 50-m butterfly in 37.07 seconds while Nathan Clement of West Vancouver took the men’s S6 in 34.65.

GOLF: McIlroy undone by weather Spieth battled through the worst of the elements to play the final six holes in even par for a 75 to finish at 4-over 146. Two hours before he finished, that looked as if it would earn him a trip back to Texas. Instead, he made the cut on the number.

it.”

The 25 year old said things really started clicking in 2014 and continued into last year when he captured the Indy Toronto.

“You learn the ups and downs,” he said. “You learn the emotional roller coaster of racing.

“It’s a roller coaster, it’s up and down all year.”

Newgarden enters this weekend’s race on the streets surrounding Exhibition Place as a favourite. He’s not only the defending champion but is also coming off a win at last week’s Iowa Corn 300, where he led for 282-of300 laps.

“I think that’s racing,” he said.

“You have one weekend where you’re like the biggest jerk on the planet and everyone hates you and then the next weekend you have an amazing weekend and you’re like the messiah again.

“To me, that’s just racing in a nutshell.”

Tour de France to continue as planned after attack in Nice LA CAVERNE DU PONT-D’ARC, France — The Tour de France rode on as planned Friday, with thousands of fans lining the roads and amid reinforced security a day after the deadly attack in Nice.

France was reeling again after a large truck mowed through a crowd of revelers gathered for a Bastille Day fireworks display in the Riviera city of Nice, killing at least 84 people on Thursday night. The attack, on “It’s tough when we all realize before we go out that you’re kind of what would be the bad end of the draw before you even play your second round,” Spieth said.

Then again, he wasn’t sure it mattered the way he was playing.

“But at 4-over par, my game is not major championship-winning calibre those first two rounds,” he said. “It just made it pretty interesting and actually somewhat nervous on the last five, six holes because I’d really like to play the weekend.”

McIlroy got within five shots of the lead until the weather and a few bad shots gobbled him up, and the fourtime major champion dropped four shots in five holes. He had to settle for an even-par 71 and was eight shots behind, along with U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson (69).

Jason Day, the world’s No. 1 player, had a 70 and was among three players who broke par in the afternoon.

“I felt like I shot a low-career round out there today with just how tough the conditions were,” Day said.

Mickelson’s made his first bogey when he pulled an iron off the tee into the rough, missing a gorse bush by

France’s national holiday, followed attacks last November in Paris that killed 130.

But the carnage did not deter fans from showing up in numbers at the starting line in the small town of Bourg-Saint-Andeol.

“We can’t let our guard down, but it was important that they continued the race,” said Bruno Pruvost, a 56-yearold fan. “Otherwise, it would be too easy for them.”

Defending champion Chris Froome, the race’s current leader, posted a picture of the blue, white and red French flag on Twitter on Friday and wrote: “Thoughts are with those affected by the horrific terror attack in Nice.”

Froome was scheduled to compete in the race’s first time trial later Friday after organizers decided the hilly 37.5-kilometre (23-mile) leg to La Caverne du Pont-D’Arc in the Ardeche region will go ahead following an emergency meeting with authorities.

There was a moment of silence at the start, several hours drive from Nice, and Tour director Christian Prudhomme said there will be a ceremony with a minute’s silence at the finish as a tribute to the victims.

“Today, we want to pay homage to the victims with dignity,” said Prudhomme, wearing a black armband around his blue shirt and holding back tears. “We have been asking ourselves if the race should continue and after consulting with authorities we have decided that it should. The Tour de France will continue in a subdued and solemn manner.” about two paces. He dropped another shot on the 15th when he pulled his drive into the rough and couldn’t reach the green. Those were the mistakes, offset by a 25-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole when he played his tee shot off the back side of a bunker and let it feed toward the hole.

He looked like a links specialist the way he used the ground. Then again, his name is on the silver claret jug for a reason.

And he wouldn’t mind seeing it there again.

“I don’t feel the pressure like probably a lot of players do to try to win the claret jug because I’ve already won it,” he said. “The desire to capture that claret jug puts a lot of pressure on. The fact I’ve done it relieves some of that.

I would love to add to it, but having already done that was big.”

Only two other players have started a major with rounds of 63-69. One was Raymond Floyd, who went on to a wire-to-wire victory at Southern Hills in the 1982 PGA Championship. The other was Greg Norman, who shot 78 in the final round of the 1996 Masters and lost a six-shot lead.

COMPANIES NEED TO COME CLEAN ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE RISK, MARK CARNEY SAYS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Only about one-third of the world’s 1,000 largest companies provide effective disclosure of the risks they face due to climate change, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said Friday.

Lack of full disclosure, Carney said, makes it difficult for investors, creditors and regulators to assess who is on top of the increasingly critical issue.

“What is your strategy for managing climate-related risk?” he said. “Longer-term strategies are going to be much more important for evaluation.”

At the same time, he said, the transition to an environmentally sustainable future in the coming decades provides an annual opportunity worth trillions of dollars for companies and financiers. One example he cited is the development of a green bond market in China that current estimates suggest will be worth US$500 billion a year.

It’s a market Beijing is keen to open up, he said.

Carney’s comments came during a session with Environment Minister Catherine McKenna at a business breakfast forum.

The former Bank of Canada governor noted that the number of extreme climate events has risen threefold in the last few decades while the cost of claims paid out as a result has risen fivefold.

Still, he said, part of the issue facing regulators relates to the different views on the seriousness of the threat posed by global warming and the ways governments are addressing the problem.

“We want to be neutral, create the information set out there, so that all of those views can be expressed in a market that is an efficient market,” he said.

In response to a request from G20

Carney is in Toronto today along with Environment Minister Catherine McKenna to discuss the implications of climate change initiatives for the financial sector in Canada and the world. leaders, Carney said a private-sector task force that includes those who have to provide disclosure and those who use that disclosure is trying to come up with the information needed to allow consistent and effective comparisons among companies about their emissions and the risks they face.

The panel is expected to produce its final report at the beginning of next year.

The reality companies must face and must deal with is that govern-

ments around the world are serious about implementing various schemes aimed at lowering emissions believed to be at the root of global warming, Carney said.

“Climate policy is real,” he said.

“Emissions have to be capped.”

Speaking afterwards, McKenna said Carney’s comments underline the importance of acting now to reduce emissions as well as the opportunities that creates for Canadian business.

McKenna also said she planned to

Ratification of CPP enhancement deal delayed as B.C. asks for more time

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The federal government’s push to swiftly conclude an agreement to boost the Canada Pension Plan hit a snag Friday when British Columbia declined to put its pivotal signature on the deal.

The B.C. government skipped Friday’s deadline to ratify an agreement-in-principle reached last month to gradually increase contributions and retirement benefits through the public pension plan.

The province’s participation is critical — it can make or break CPP expansion, which is a reform deeply coveted

by Ottawa.

B.C. explained its decision Friday by saying it needed more time to explain the deal to its residents and stakeholders, such as business owners.

The B.C. government also hoped to give the public more time to provide feedback, a spokesman for the provincial finance minister said.

Following last month’s CPP talks, every province except Quebec backed the agreement-in-principle. At the time, the signatories, including B.C., agreed to Friday’s ratification deadline.

Without B.C.’s full support, the proposed changes to the CPP would not be able to move forward, because B.C. is the country’s third-most populated province. A deal to reform the CPP

needs the signatures of a minimum of seven provinces representing at least two-thirds of Canada’s population.

“We’ll be listening to that feedback through the summer and be in a position to make a decision, I think, by the end of the summer,” said Jamie Edwardson, a spokesman for B.C. Finance Minister Michael de Jong.

“By the end of the summer is about as firm as we are right now.”

Asked why B.C. declined to meet a deadline it agreed to only a few weeks ago, Edwardson would only say the province wanted to take additional time to talk to British Columbians about the changes and make sure they understood what the new plan would mean for employers and employees.

Home sales slip as key markets soften

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The pace of home sales in Canada slowed in June as transactions in the country’s hottest markets slipped, despite remaining up 5.2 per cent compared with a year ago.

The Canadian Real Estate Association said Friday sales through its multiple listing service fell 0.9 per cent from May to June, as about half of the markets it tracks — including Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley in B.C. and Greater Toronto — softened.

Royal Bank senior economist Robert Hogue noted it was the second

straight drop in monthly sales following a record high set in April.

“What makes this a positive development is the fact that the easing in activity was led by Canada’s hottest markets,” Hogue said.

Greater Vancouver reported a 5.3 per cent drop for June, while Greater Toronto fell 1.2 per cent.

“The slowdown in activity may be evidence that stretched affordability has begun to exert a greater restraining effect on homebuyer demand,” Hogue suggested.

“In British Columbia it may also be evidence a drop in speculative buying activity, ahead of upcoming regulatory

meet Friday with representatives of 22 major companies that have signed on to the government’s carbon pricing initiative. The program, she said, will lead to lower emissions and foster innovation. She rejected criticism that carbon pricing is simply another tax.

“What it is, is pricing pollution. We need to be doing this,” McKenna said.

“It doesn’t discriminate: It just says you will pay less if you pollute less.”

changes in the province and the City of Vancouver.”

The B.C. government recently said it would support Vancouver’s request for a tax on vacant housing. The city hopes the plan will create an incentive for owners to rent vacant properties.

The drop in sales in June came as the number of newly-listed homes increased 2.2 per cent compared with May and the national sales-to-new listings ratio slipped to 63.3 per cent from 65.3 per cent in May. CREA says a sales-to-new listings ratio between 40 per cent and 60 per cent suggests a balanced housing market.

BRIEFS Manufacturing sales fell 1.0% to $49.9B in May OTTAWA — Canadian factory sales fell more than expected in May as the auto sector was hurt by an earthquake in Japan and the Alberta wildfires slowed sales by the oil industry.

Statistics Canada said Friday that manufacturing sales fell 1.0 per cent to $49.9 billion in May. Economists had expected a drop of 0.7 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters.

Constant dollar sales fell 2.1 per cent, indicating that a lower volume of manufactured goods was sold in the month.

“The decline in this month’s report was slightly larger than expectations, though is largely a result of transitory disruptions to supply chains,” TD Bank economist Warren Kirkland said.

Kirkland said while the auto industry’s woes should dissipate in June, the effects from the wildfires will likely persist, and he expects a 0.9 per cent contraction in GDP during the second quarter.

Motor vehicle sales fell 4.2 per cent to $5.6 billion, while sales of motor vehicle parts declined 2.3 per cent due in part to supply interruptions associated with the earthquake in Japan in April.

Sales in the petroleum and coal products industry fell 2.2 per cent to $4.1 billion due in part to the wildfire that forced the evacuation of Fort McMurray and curbed oil production.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — North American markets were relatively flat Friday, ending a five-day rally, even as positive economic news emerged from China and the U.S. “I think everyone’s just taking a little bit of a breather after a very strong rally that we’ve seen across the world,” said Macan Nia, senior investment strategist at Manulife Investments.

The S&P/TSX composite index fell by 32.10 points to 14,482.42, with all sectors accept financials closing lower, while the loonie lost 0.23 of a U.S. cent to close at 77.30 cents US. The metals and mining sector of the TSX was the biggest loser, dropping 2.05 per cent, while financials stocks edged up 0.27 per cent.

In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average advanced by 10.14 points to 18,516.55, a new record high, while the S&P 500 gave back 2.01 points to 2,161.74 and the Nasdaq composite slipped by 4.47 points to 5,029.59.

Nia said the market is now more focused on the U.S. earnings season, “which so far has come out above expectations.”

New data out of the U.S. showed that retail sales rose more than expected last month, suggesting that the economy picked up in the second quarter of the year.

resiliency after a slow start to the year,” said Nia. “The U.S. consumer continues to be the main driver of growth for the U.S. economy.”

Meanwhile, a separate report found that U.S. industrial output rose 0.6 per cent in June, following a 0.3 per cent drop in May. In other positive economic news the Chinese government said the economy expanded by 6.7 per cent in the period from April to June, as increased construction spending by state-owned companies helped to offset weak private sector demand.

That helped boost oil prices, with the August crude contract gaining 27 cents to US$45.95 and the more heavily-traded September contract climbing 23 cents to US$46.65.

“That helps build the story for the demand side and helped energy prices today, despite data coming out of the U.S. from U.S. oil rig counts that saw an increase in rig counts again in the past week,” said Nia. August natural gas was up three cents to US$2.76 per mmBtu and August gold lost US$4.80 to US$1,327.40 per ounce. September copper was up roughly one cent to US$2.23 per pound.

BMO allows people to open accounts through smartphones

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Bank of Montreal has launched a service that allows customers to sign up for accounts using their smartphones, as the lender looks to appeal to consumers’ shifting banking preferences.

“Customers feel more and more comfortable doing things on smartphones,” said Niti Badarinath, BMO’s head of North American channels.

“We’re also starting to see a preference for things that are convenient and fast — speed, ease of use, the ability to do it all from a handheld device from the convenience of wherever you are.

“These were all critical inputs in us saying, ‘We need to build an account-opening journey that is all mobile straight through.”’

The bank (TSX:BMO) says the initiative is the first of its kind from a major Canadian lender and will allow potential clients to open a new account on their phones in under eight minutes, without having to download an app or visit a branch.

BMO collects customers’ social insurance numbers in order to comply with anti-money laundering laws and know-your-client rules that require them to verify customer identities.

The announcement comes as the bank and its competitors have been cutting costs through layoffs, boost-

ing their digital offerings to appeal to young, tech-savvy customers and facing competition from a slew of financial technology, or fintech, upstarts.

Kendra Thompson, who heads up Accenture’s North American wealth management division, says she expects to see similar announcements from all of Canada’s big banks.

“This is the start of things to come and it’s something that’s been proven out in other markets,” Thompson said. “Canada is not ahead of the curve here. In fact, we’re catching up.”

While some have predicted that the growing popularity of mobile banking will be a death knell for physical branches, Thompson said that isn’t the case.

“I think it’s really important not to see mobile advancement as binary.

It’s not mobile instead of branch, it’s mobile as a compliment to the human experience.”

Besides, Thompson added, “there will always be a segment of the Canadian population that needs to have that human contact.”

Customers, however, can expect to see the role of branches evolve, said Badarinath — shifting away from daily banking needs and more towards value-added services such as financial advice or help with complex transactions.

“What I think is changing is what people go to the branches for,” said Badarinath.

Facebook ‘safety check’ lets users reassure friends in crises

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — In the wake of an attack that saw a truck slam into a crowd of Bastille Day revellers in Nice, France, killing at least 84, Facebook has activated its “safety check” feature.

The tool helps users of the social network inform their Facebook friends that they are safe during crisis situations. If Facebook detects that you are in an area near a major crisis like a natural disaster or violent attack, it will send you a notification asking if you are safe.

A sample safety check message on Facebook’s website reads, “Are you OK? It looks like you’re in the area affected by the Mento Park Earthquake.

Let friends know if you’re safe.”

You can then click a button that says, “I’m Safe,” and a post will show up on your news feed indicating that you are OK. Facebook users worried about friends who may be near a crisis zone can also visit the safety check page to see a list of any friends in the area, and find out which ones have checked in as safe.

The safety check page also includes a map of the affected area and a link to news reports of whatever crisis is happening.

If Facebook has misjudged your location — which is determined by the city listed in your profile, your last location, or the city where you are using the Internet — and sent you a safety check notification erroneously, you can also mark that you are not near the danger.

Facebook says it activates the safety check feature during dangerous situations with clear start and end points, when a large number of people would be concerned about the status of loved ones.

The social media giant has said the feature would not be useful in areas of ongoing crises like wars or disease epidemics, as it would be impossible to declare someone truly safe.

Introduced in October 2014 to be used during natural disasters, Facebook began activating safety check for violent incidents after the Paris terror attacks in November 2015.

The safety check was activated after the bombing and shooting attacks on Istanbul’s airport and the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla. :SJR.B) says it earned $704 million or $1.44 per diluted share for the three months ending May 31, up from $209 million or 42 cents per diluted share in the same quarter a year ago.

The results included a $615 million one-time gain on the sale of Shaw Media to Corus for $2.65 billion in cash and shares.

Revenue in the quarter was $1.28 billion, an increase of 13 per cent from $1.14 billion.

In addition to the Corus deal, Shaw acquired Wind Mobile earlier this year for $1.6 billion.

The kids are in school in Love’s Labours Lost LANA MICHELIN ENTERTAINMENT

Buddy Holly tunes will provide a nostalgic musical soundtrack for Bard on Bower’s 1950s version of Love’s Labour’s Lost.

The play is believed to be William Shakespeare’s earliest comedy, written in about 1595. Compared to his later comedies “it’s a little outside the box,” said Emily Pole, who’s directing the Prime Stock Theatre production that starts Thursday, July 21, on the outdoor stage at Bower Ponds.

Love’s Labour’s Lost, which is running in repertory with two Shakespearean tragedies: Julius Caesar and Othello, contains the longest scene, the longest single word (honorificabilitudinitatibus), and the longest speech of all of Shakespeare’s plays.

Pole said it’s also the Bard’s most rhyming play. Ands it finishes in a more open-ended way than his later comedies do. There’s no mass wedding scene as a finale, so Pole was able to choreograph a sock-hop sequence to end things in celebratory style.

Red Deer band Underside Pattern will provide a breezy soundtrack for some singing and dancing in this production. The trio will perform That’ll be the Day, Raining In My Heart, Everyday and other Holly songs to help set a ’50s mood for the Bard on Bower comedy.

Pole, a recent graduate of Red Deer College’s theatre program, has relocated the setting to an ivy league university during the letterman sweater and circle-skirt era of the mid-20th Century.

Four male students — Ferdinand, Berowne, Dumaine and Longaville — are determined to buckle down and devote themselves entirely to study.

This means giving up the company of women for three years.

Of course their bold pledge tempts fate, and a group of beautiful females soon turns up at their frat house door.

The women aren’t put off by Ferdinand’s decree that no females should set foot in the frat house — they set up camp immediately outside.

Love’s Labour’s Lost follows the typical Shakespearean formula of having all four guys fall in love with all four girls — and their romances don’t run smoothly. As one characters states: “Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but love.”

Letters are sent to the wrong person, leading to misunderstandings.

Characters get disguised and identities get mixed up. “It’s kind of like a teen comedy story line,” said Pole,

with a chuckle. “Everything goes crazy…”

Unlike most modern comedies, however, there are a lot of puns: “I was surprised by how many puns there are,” added Pole, who had honed her Shakespearean chops by co-directing The Tempest at RDC last season.

This cast of 14 actors from Central Alberta, Edmonton and Calgary, are learning to speak the jokey double-talk so the puns are obvious to a 21st-Century audience. “I hope the audience gets it,” said Pole.

Definitely, everyone will get the physical humour and the flirtatious exchanges between the bookish men and coquettish women.

“It’s a light-hearted show that will be great, even for people who don’t always dive into Shakespeare,” she

added.

Admission is by donation ($20 suggested) to Love’s Labour’s Lost on the outdoor stage. It runs at 7 p.m. on July 21-23, 27, 29 and 30, and at 2 p.m. on July 24 and 31. (Bring bug spray, a lawn chair and blanket).

Admission to Julius Caesar, also on the outdoor stage, is by donation ($20 suggested). It runs at 7 p.m. July 16 and 20, 24, 28, and at 2 p.m. on July 23 and 30.

Othello is a ticketed event that runs indoors in the Bower Ponds Pavilion.

Tickets to the 7 p.m. production that will run about 75 min. will cost $20 at the door. Seating is limited. It runs at 7 p.m. July 17-19, 25, 26 and 31. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Steven Avery listens to testimony in the courtroom at the Calumet County Courthouse in Chilton, Wis. The Netflix documentary series ‘Making a Murderer’ tells the story of a Wisconsin man wrongly convicted of sexual assault only to be accused, along with his nephew, of killing a photographer two years after being released.

An online petition has collected hundreds of thousands of digital signatures seeking a pardon for the pair of convicted killers-turned-social media sensations based on a Netflix documentary series that cast doubt on the legal process.

True-crime genre wrestles with balance in reporting

BY LAUREN LA ROSE THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — A recent spate of longform true-crime projects has captivated audiences, won critical acclaim and renewed interest in old cases.

But the genre presents a unique challenge for those involved in creating compelling stories involving real victims and often gruesome subject matter.

“These things inevitably will reopen wounds just simply by bringing the past back to the present,” admits Dean Strang, one of the defence lawyers for Steven Avery featured in the Netflix hit Making a Murderer, which picked up six Emmy nominations on Thursday.

The documentary series, along with two recent hit series on O.J. Simpson, have contributed to making the truecrime genre a modern pop culture phenomenon.

The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story received 22 Emmy nominations, just one shy of overall leader Game of Thrones. The 10-part FX series offers a fictionalized retelling of the

’90s murder trial in the deaths of Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Also widely acclaimed — but not eligible for this year’s Emmys — is the series O.J.: Made in America.

Director Ezra Edelman said he was sensitive to portraying his subjects in an honest way when creating the series and treating their stories respectfully.

“I think this story occupies this weird space where it’s been talked about so much (over the years) so in that way is it possible to say anything wrong?” said Edelman during an interview at the HotDocs festival in Toronto.

“Having said this, I take my role and responsibility pretty seriously.”

Strang said true-crime genre stories have an “an excruciatingly difficult balance to strike.”

In the case of Making a Murderer, the series explores Avery’s first-degree intentional homicide trial in the 2005 death of photographer Teresa Halbach.

“I don’t know that one ever could achieve consensus that the balance has been struck correctly, because

there’s enormous public good in an honest, unfiltered look at our criminal justice institutions,” Strang said in a recent interview in support of his A Conversation on Justice speaking tour with Avery co-counsel Jerry Buting.

“On the other hand … the burden of that public good falls on the families of victims who’ve already suffered a horrible loss, one that they couldn’t have prepared for, didn’t deserve and, in some ways, can never overcome.”

Soraya Peerbaye recently won the English-language Trillium Book Award for poetry for Tell: poems for a girlhood, based on the case of slain Vancouver Island teen Reena Virk.

The Toronto writer admitted she wrestled with finding the right approach.

“There was really a desire to be accountable, to be respectable for Reena, not only as someone who died but as someone who lived,” said Peerbaye, whose collection was also a finalist for the 2016 Griffin Poetry Prize.

“As artists, we’re also trying with integrity to generate new ways of looking at our world … to open up our sensibilities or our empathy, our senses of history.”

David Schmid, editor of the true-

crime collection Violence in American Popular Culture, said the issue of striking the right tone has been a perennial one for the genre, dating back to truecrime accounts in the 19th century.

“On the one hand, they want to entertain their readers, and they want to make money and they want to get large audiences,” said Schmid, a professor of English at the University of Buffalo.

“At the same time, they have to find some kind of justification to make the reader feel that they’re not in fact being entertained by murder, that true crime does in fact have a useful social purpose.”

Schmid said what distinguishes the current crop of true-crime narratives is how they’re being used as a way to address and overturn examples of potential injustice, pointing to Making A Murderer and the popular podcast Serial. Avery is pursuing an appeal. Last month, Adnan Syed, the focal point of season 1 of Serial, was granted a new trial 16 years after being convicted in the death of Hae Min Lee, his high school girlfriend.

“That’s not something that we’ve previously seen in the genre,” said Schmid.

From Cairo, It’s Saturday Night Live! (without politics, sex or religion) SUDARSAN RAGHAVAN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE CAIRO — The marquee lights and stage set look familiar, as does the band that opened before the comedy sketch began: A nuclear plant manager is trying to cover up an accident as an employee with an oversized, conical head deadpans that she’s healthy, drawing laughter from the audience.

When the skit ends, the actors freeze and shout out in unison.

“It’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ in Arabic!”

Welcome to the Middle East’s newest comedy show, launched across the region last month and, of course, modeled after its famed U.S. counterpart.

There’s all the usual stuff: celebrity guests, “news anchors” who parody current events, musical performances and skits with edgy social commentary.

But unlike its New York-based parent, SNL Arabia has a daunting task: finding comedic inspiration in a region plagued by war and Islamic State violence.

And don’t expect the show’s comedians to impersonate Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and other Arab leaders or poke fun at their policies or rhetoric. These days, political satire could easily shut down the show and even result in a jail sentence.

“We are doing SNL without politics. It’s like you’ve lost a leg out of two,” said George Azmi, one of the show’s head writers, adding that sex and religion are also taboo subjects.

“We are trying to tread softly as we go.”

The arrival of SNL Arabia comes as cultural repression is deepening in Egypt and other parts of the region. In Saudi Arabia, blogger Raif Badawi is serving a 10-year sentence for “insulting Islam” on his website.

In Bahrain, the government has jailed journalists on what human rights groups describe as flimsy charges. Turkish authorities seized control of the nation’s largest newspaper earlier this month.

In Egypt, no comedian has forgotten what happened to Bassem Youssef, a popular satirist. Known as Egypt’s Jon Stewart, his version of the The Daily Show was shut down two years ago — the same month Sissi entered office.

Youssef once mocked Sissi, the former army general who overthrew Egypt’s Islamist president in 2013 and consolidated power in a landslide electoral victory the following year. Declaring the political climate too dangerous to continue his show, Youssef left Egypt and eventually moved to the United States.

Egyptian comedians rehearse a comedy sketch about Satan’s family. The Arabic version of ‘Saturday Night Live’ recently was launched in Cairo, and has its own comedic challenges.

“You don’t know exactly what will put you behind bars,” said Amr Salama, the show’s director.

There are other SNL franchises in Spain, Italy and Germany, as well as in China and South Korea.

The Arabic version reaches audiences across the Middle East and North Africa.

Even as they strive to create a uniquely Middle Eastern version of the show, the producers and comedians seek to preserve SNL’s 40-plus-year history and legendary status. Last year, some traveled to New York to meet with the U.S. staff and learn about the show’s production. The producers regularly consult with their American counterparts.

Open auditions were held in Cairo, and the 12 members of the all-Egyptian cast who were selected range in age from late teens to mid-30s. They include two comedians from Youssef’s show who have so far steered clear of saying anything too provocative.

The show — which appears on OSN, a private Dubai-based satellite service in the Middle East whose shows are uncensored — is taped at one of Egypt’s oldest studios, not far from the famed pyramids of Giza.

Each week, two shows are produced with a quarter of the staff of the original show, forcing workers to put in long hours each week. But the program, while taped in front of an audience, is not broadcast live. One reason is to avoid getting into trouble.

“In Egypt and in the whole Middle East, we have to make sure everything is censored and everything matches the policy of the channel,” Salama said.

“So they have time to edit and take out whatever they want. In Egypt, it’s very hard to find any comedy show that’s broadcast live.”

In the first episode, a new “Egyptian minister of happiness” vows to get rid of songs by two popular musicians, deeming them too sad. The skit was inspired by a real-life minister of happiness in the United Arab Emirates, a position that was announced last month.

Another episode poked fun at Egyptian society. In one sketch, an exterminator gets rid of a rat only by offering him a hefty

payment. And a talking vending machine taunts ordinary Egyptians but becomes obsequious when a group of policemen arrive to buy soda — the closest to anything provocative on the show.

Some in the audience said the absence of anything politicized was a welcome escape from an economic crisis, security concerns and government crackdowns. “Politics is something we have to endure every day in and out,” said Ahmed Youssri, 33, an editor. “It’s nice to get away from that.”

In Brazil’s political crisis, a powerful new force:

Evangelical Christians

BY DOM PHILLIPS & NICK MIROFF SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE RIO DE JANEIRO - As he struggles to build support for his presidency, Brazil’s new leader, Michel Temer, has been dogged by the kind of character issue that pollsters refer to as “a strong negative.”

Temer, rumor has it, is a devil worshiper.

The origins of this Just as Rev. Jerry falsehood are unclear.

Temer, 75, a longtime Falwell’s “Moral Majority” politician, is a Chrisbecame a force in tian of Maronite Lebthe United States in anese descent. But the the 1980s, Brazilian rumors have inflicted enough damage that Te- evangelical leaders have gone from the political mer turned to prominent evangelical pastors for sidelines to the center. help. They encouraged Their movement is not him to make a video apa co-ordinated effort pealing for evangelicals’ to take power, they support.

“He did a beautiful insist, but a grassvideo,” said the Rev. roots backlash Marco Feliciano, a conagainst secularism, gressman and Pentecoshomosexuality and tal leader, who appeared changes introduced at his side in the recording. during 13 years of “He asked the church Marxist-inspired to pray for him.”

Workers’ Party rule.

The prayers, and pacts with pastors such as Feliciano, have provided badly needed support to Temer and have given the country’s growing evangelical movement unprecedented influence as Brazil goes through its biggest political upheaval in decades.

Temer chose an evangelical bishop who believes in creationism to be his top science official, then made him trade minister. The new labor minister also is an evangelical pastor.

Just as Rev. Jerry Falwell’s “Moral Majority” emerged as a force in the United States in the 1980s, Brazilian evangelical leaders have gone from the political sidelines to the center. Their movement is not a coordinated effort to take power, they insist, but a grass-roots backlash against secularism, homosexuality and changes introduced during 13 years of Marxist-inspired Workers’ Party rule.

That era appeared to end this month when lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to suspend president Dilma Rousseff and put her on trial for allegedly breaking budget laws. Temer, Rousseff’s former coalition partner turned political rival, became interim president and would serve out the rest of her term through 2018 if she is found guilty.

Temer enters office with a wobbly mandate. Even if most Brazilians don’t think that he is a Satanic figure, polls show that he is widely distrusted, with fewer than 10 per cent of citizens wanting him to be president, according to surveys.

Temer has sought help from Christian evangelicals, who were some of the strongest backers of Rousseff’s impeachment. Of the 94 lawmakers from different parties who, according to Feliciano, form part of the “Evangelical Bloc” in Brazil’s lower chamber of Congress, 89 voted to put her on trial.

Dozens dedicated their votes “to God” in the nationally televised proceedings.

Brazilian evangelicals are not monolithic. They have no single leader. But in a country with more than 30 parties, the movement has benefited from a discipline otherwise lacking in Brazil’s political culture of dealmaking and fleeting alliances of convenience, said Paulo Baía, a political scientist and sociologist at Rio de Janeiro’s Federal University.

“They have more political influence than ever, and they are going through a moment in which they’re asserting their power,” Baía said.

The Evangelical Bloc has grown significantly since 2010, when it had an estimated 73 seats in Brazil’s 513-member lower house of congress. Although divergent on economic issues, lawmakers in the bloc are overwhelmingly opposed to a 2013 decision, now under appeal to Brazil’s Supreme Court, that recognized same-sex marriage. They are also against the legalization of abortion.

With a population of 205 million, Brazil remains the world’s largest Catholic nation. But 22 per cent of Brazilians identify as evangelical Christians, up from 5 per cent in 1970. Many evangelical pastors work in remote rural areas and in Brazil’s violent slums, where the government is often absent. That gives pastors an unrivaled ability to mobilize voters at election time.

And compared with Brazil’s Catholic leaders, the evangelical pastors are more explicit about their political endorsements, Baía said. “They speak clearly in favor of their candidates and even campaign for them,” he said.

A few have also studied at Christian campuses in the United States, including Liberty University, founded by Falwell, which encourages students to promote religious values through civic engagement, said Falwell’s son Jerry, the university president.

“Brazilian students are compatible with our students and with life in America,” he said, speaking by phone from Lynchburg, Virginia, where the campus is located. “They find America similar to what they experience at home.”

Many Brazilian evangelical leaders had initially supported the Workers’ Party because of its focus on helping the poor; their votes helped its founder, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, win the presidency in 2006 and 2010. But that pact fell apart during Rousseff’s tenure because of the party’s backing of a bill to prohibit homophobia and a law to allow the “morning after” pill for rape victims, which evangelical leaders felt opened the door for abortion.

Leading televangelist Silas Malafaia, one of Rousseff’s harshest critics, said the source of the break was a disagreement about the role of the government in shaping Brazilian values. “What is their game?”

Malafaia asked, in an interview. “To control the state.”

“We saw that communism was in their DNA,” Malafaia said, speaking at his spacious home in a gated community on Rio’s outskirts.

Malafaia, who was one of Brazil’s pioneering televangelists in the 1980s, has more than 3 million followers on his Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, where he routinely skewers Rousseff and criticizes gay rights and feminism. He has been outspoken in his support of Temer as the leader of a government of “national salvation,” and he recorded a video attempting to squelch the rumor that Temer is a closeted Satan lover.

Malafaia’s Victory in Christ temple in a rough section of Rio was packed with television cameras and thousands of worshipers on a recent night. Homosex-

Marcos Melo, 35, a member of Malafaia’s church, said “spiritual problems” were at the core of Brazil’s many ills, from crime and political corruption to the worst economic downturn since the 1930s.

Some of the evangelical figures who threw stones at Rousseff are facing legal troubles, including Eduardo Cunha, the former speaker of the government’s lower house. Within weeks of presiding over an impeachment vote against the president, Cunha was ordered to step down because he is under investigation for corruption and obstruction of justice.

Temer has appointed André Moura, a congressman and a member of the Social Christian Party — an evangelical party — as his government’s leader in the lower house. Moura is among those under investigation in a Supreme Court probe into corruption at state-run oil company Petrobras and also faces

allegations he was involved in crimes including conspiracy and attempted homicide in past years. He and Cunha have denied the allegations.

Despite Brazil’s image as a land of noodle-width bikinis and Carnival debauchery, evangelical leaders insist it is a morally conservative country and say that Brazilian politics is beginning to reflect that.

“Many evangelicals in Brazil see their country in much of the same way the evangelical right views the United States,” said Andrew Chesnut, a Latin America expert and professor of religious studies at Virginia Commonwealth University. “They think the Workers’ Party put Brazil on a path to moral ruin.

It legalized gay marriage. It has given Brazil one of Latin America’s highest per capita abortion rates, even though the procedure remains illegal. There’s pornography all over the place.”

“A lot of Brazilians outside of major cities are fairly conservative morally, and the evangelical agenda resonates with them,” Chesnut said.

Report could hide true extent of police surveillance ONE SINGLE WARRANT COULD TARGET DOZENS OF INDIVIDUALS FOR SURVEILLANCE

BY ALEX BOUTILIER SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Federal documents could mask the scope of its actual surveillance activities “Clear gaps” in how the federal government reports invasive surveillance practices may hide the true scope of police activities, according to documents prepared for Canada’s privacy watchdog.

Although the number of authorized wiretaps has “plummeted” since

“With a single warrant from the Federal Court (police) may list dozens of individuals for surveillance targeting.”

Public Safety is required to issue a report each year about the number of warrants sought to put individuals under surveillance — “wiretap” warrants that allow police extraordinary powers to keep tabs on individuals.

But police aren’t just bugging the phones of bad guys anymore. New technology allows law enforcement agencies to conduct surveillance on a much wider scale.

The documents note that the decline in warrants “must also be kept in perspective against” newer surveillance powers that don’t have to be publicly reported, including production orders for account information, warrants for GPS location devices and requests for “metadata.”

Canada has also seen confirmed uses of “Stingray” technology, a device, called an IMSI catcher, that simulates a cellphone tower to force any mobile device in the area to connect to it. A recent Vice News investigation reported the RCMP has used IMSI catchers in public places for more than a decade, citing court documents.

The Toronto Star requested an interview with both Therrien and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale for this article. Neither was available Wednesday or Thursday.

But in an emailed response to the Star, a spokesman for Goodale said the minister is open to changing the system.

“Reporting is an important component of Canada’s system accountability for security agencies,” Scott Bardsley wrote.

“We’re open to consideration in this review (of national security oversight) of how to improve these elements to better achieve our two objectives (of) ensuring that our police and security agencies are being effective … and safeguarding the values, rights and freedoms of Canadians in a plural, open, democratic society.”

Lisa Austin, a law professor at the University of

Toronto specializing in privacy issues, said calls globally for transparency about police surveillance have increased, not just for wiretap warrants, but for any extraordinary powers for law enforcement snooping.

But it’s not about pitting privacy rights against cops legitimately trying to do their jobs, Austin added.

“It’s not about preventing access to the information that the state needs to pursue law enforcement or national security,” Austin said Wednesday.

“I dislike it when the debate is about privacy versus law enforcement . . . because the law has never been that. It’s always been about balancing and accountability.”

The biggest challenge: to instill a need to change CHRIS SALOMONS STREET TALES One of the main issues that face all agencies in dealing with folks from the street is the inability and or unwillingness of these people to change their lifestyle. On the surface it seems as if they are very content to stay where they are; to stay drunk or cracked out as much as they can afford and they are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain the momentary euphoria that their habits can produce.

That seeming unwillingness to change is what discourages many people from a continuing involvement, volunteering, donating, or any caring effort that seemingly is rebuffed at every turn.

While there may be some justification in their reactions to stop helping, several factors have to be considered before we drop the ball altogether.

If we consider the issue of making life changes, we find that throughout history, any changes made were done so because of some type of reasoning, but also, in many cases, increased

mental turmoil. These reasons may have included health, safety, money, control, and a multitude of others.

Whatever they were, the issues were strong enough to produce an effort to change. Some changes came at a high cost while others were merely change because of adaptation.

Probably the hardest fact to accept is that some people just won’t or don’t want to change. But there is a reason for that as well.

In all of the articles I have written and the different people that I have met, there are notably two or three reasons people will not accept change.

First is in all likelihood because of abuse in one form or another from childhood on and largely unresolved.

Second is peer pressure and entrapment. And third is laziness.

You may be able to come up with many more, but for this article, these three probably will suffice.

Any abuse, whatever form it takes, leaves an open wound. It also leaves a residual fear; fear strong enough to handicap a change, but there still always remains a need to deal with it.

Which then is why alcohol, drugs, and other negative behaviors are used to mask the pain; just learning to deal with the pain can produce a fear of what change might cost.

Several years ago I asked a young woman, after she came out of rehab, why she did not just stay sober; to which she replied, “I’m scared of what’s on the other side.”

A very high percentage of negative behaviors not only originate, but are maintained through constant peer pressure. The fear of being different leaves not only young people but adults as well fully subject to a perceived pressure to ‘fit in’ or ‘be a part of’. Sadly, those with mental handicaps often fall into this group.

Laziness involves just merely accepting whatever comes along, usually without consequential consideration.

Also, in some families, a child acceptably grows into whatever behaviour that comes along, whether good or bad.

The reasons notwithstanding, most of these folks find themselves one day at a crossroads for change.

For some, the choice is automatic; change or die! Most of the rest ignore the challenges set before them, and that is where they stay unless somehow they are convinced and supported enough to make the required changes in their lives.

Some organizations desire to work only with the first group; the ones willing or at a point to make a change; the rest they kindly send on their way,

leaving them to other and smaller groups to deal with. I guess it’s like putting a sports team together, you only take the cream of the crop; the rest are sent on their way with a thank you for coming.

So then, how do you deal with the balance; do we just keep them moving along and watch people kill themselves through their habits and addictions? Or do we treat them like our neighbor and fellow human being and try our best to instill in them the desire to change?

Without a doubt, they are some of the most difficult people to work with, but then you have to believe that we were all created equal in the eyes of God, therefore, I believe we not only have the privilege, but the responsibility to do our best to facilitate the unwanted or in other words the “untouchables.”

The whole idea in working with these good folks is not just feeding and housing them, it includes working with them to the point that we can instill in them a reason and a desire to make the necessary changes in their lives.

Then and only then can we claim a success or a victory.

C5

Do you really want to know what your pet is doing when you’re not home?

HARLEY HAY HUMOUR So I was doing some intensive research the other day, which consisted of actively reading a newspaper and analyzing what a third coffee would taste like, and I thumbed upon an article about how to observe your pets when you are essentially in absentia.

Have you ever wondered what your dogs, cats, teenagers or uninvited house guests do when you’re not around? If so, the PetCube, Nest Cam or the Pet Scout 66 just might be for you.

It’s nothing totally radical or new, but it seems to have caught on lately like an empty house on fire.

More and more obsessive cat and dog owners (you know the ones — the mommies and daddies who talk baby talk to their pets and dress them up in little tuxedos etc.) a lot of these pious pet people have already geared up with live camera monitoring systems at their homes.

Only these cameras are trained on the inside of the house instead of the outside. These cameras are there solely to see what Fido or Tigger are up to — to heck with the burglars skulking around outside your house.

For a couple of hundred hardearned Canadian dollars or more you

can set up an eye in the sky — or in this case, an eye in the room — which will give you video, still photos and even audio on your cell phone. So anytime when you’re at work or on vacation or hiding in the backyard you can turn on your phone and watch your very own Slobberpuss the basset hound dig in the garbage under the kitchen sink, or observe Meowface your tabby cat happily and vigorously sharpen her claws on your leather couch.

And that’s not all.

Many of these camera devices have a built in laser pointer thingy that you can control remotely with your phone.

You know how pets — especially cats all cracked up on catnip like to chase a little red dot from a laser pointer — well now you can be working away at your desk or driving heavy machinery whilst thumbing around the screen of your cell phone moving the dot around on the floor of your far-away house so that your lonely Kitty or even sad Spot can have a little exercise or amusement.

Also, for a few more hard earned Canadian dollars your Pet Spy Camera can have an infrared feature, whereupon it can snoop on your mutt, mouser, hamster or pet boa constrictor at night in the complete darkness of your home.

Subsequent discoveries and revelations include: “So that’s how Gerry gets out of his gerbil cage!” Or: “I had no idea Boris the snake sleeps in the toilet bowl!” Or: “Look Martha! Fang

our beloved Jack Russell is going potty behind the couch! I always wondered where that smell was coming from!”

And even that’s not all.

You might say, “Who has time to be staring at their cell phone constantly?” to which, based on casual observation, I would reply: “Almost everyone.” But for those who don’t want to be obsessively and constantly checking their little screens to see what their pets are up to, you can get a feature on your monitoring camera that — get this — has a self-activating motion and sound detector.

This means your phone will alert you when there is any movement or unusual sound in your house. Using the latest technology (voodoo) your pet monitor somehow disregards “normal” house sounds such as the furnace or the fridge coming on, or your overweight shih tzu snoring on the couch and alerts you when your Labrador starts eating your shoes or your calico decides to pee in the dirt of your precious potted African violet.

Still, that not even all.

With some of the schmancy units you can actually talk to your pets remotely with your phone through the camera. This will either scare the bodily fluids out of your pets — especially the ones who believe in ghosts, or it will simply confirm to you “The Master” that your beloved four legged friend never listens to you whether you are in the house or not.

As you no doubt know, there is a popular new animation movie out

called The Secret Life of Pets, perhaps inspired by this particular technology.

If, like me, you haven’t seen it yet, The Secret Life of Pets is just what I’ve been yammering on about: what the heck do your pets do when you’re not at home?

One reviewer called it “Toy Story but with house pets.” Sounds like fun to me, but hey, there’s nothing quite like real life.

I can see it all now: we’re far away and I’m watching our Chicklet the Chubblet calico cat come into the empty house through her cat door. She has something in her mouth. It’s a present for the family, the human subjects of her Monarchy. She is clearly thinking: “Where can I put this wonderful gift that I have caught in that hedge thingy in the yard? Hmmm, how about on the pillow where my subordinates sleep?”

She plops the wriggling mouse, bird or dragonfly onto the Better Half’s pillow. Then: “Hmmm,” she says to herself. “This one has stopped moving for some reason. Perhaps I’d better go get another gift for them before they get home.”

And off she goes, happily leaving the remains of her lovely present for her humans to find. When they get home. Three days later.

Hmmm. Maybe we should get a Pet Spy Camera. Just in case.

Troubled waters on South China Sea

BY JOSEPH MICALLEF SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague has unanimously ruled that China does not have any historic title to a huge expanse of the South China Sea, which it had claimed.

The July 12 decision came in response to a case filed by the Philippines in 2013, under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), over the Chinese seizure of the Scarborough Shoal.

The shoal is a series of reefs and rocks. Its highest point, South Rock, is less than two metres above the ocean during high tide.

The court’s ruling had three key provisions.

First, it rejected completely China’s assertion that it had a claim to the shoal, noting that, “there was no legal basis for China to claim historic rights to resources within the sea areas falling within the nine-dash line.”

Secondly, the court reaffirmed that the rocks and reefs are not “islands” as defined by the UNCLOS treaty because they are not capable of supporting human habitation and are not entitled to the 335-km exclusive economic zone.

Thirdly, the court found that the shoal was within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines and that by interfering in the area, Beijing had violated Manila’s sovereign rights.

The court’s ruling on the “nine-dash line” has far-reaching implications on the various disputes between China and its neighbours over sovereignty in the South China Sea. Beijing’s claim was based on a map published on Dec. 1, 1947, by the government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. The map showed an area demarcated by 11 dashes, encompassing the bulk of the South China Sea, which was bweing claimed by the Chinese government. Taiwan asserts a similar claim, also based on that original map.

The 11 dashes were later reduced to nine when Beijing, at the behest of Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai, reduced its claims in the Gulf of Tonkin. Later versions of the map added a 10th dash, extending China’s claimed sovereignty toward Taiwan and the East China Sea. The reference to the “nine-dash line,” however, has remained.

China’s interest in the South China Sea has been driven by a fundamental and far-reaching change in China’s economy. Historically, China has been largely self-sufficient. Today, however, its economy is heavily dependent on external trade, for markets for its manufactured goods and for raw materials.

The vast majority of China’s commodity imports travel by sea, as do virtually all its exports. Sea power, which has not figured prominently in Chinese history, is thus assuming far more significance for China.

China’s defensive doctrine identifies two key boundaries: the “first-island-chain” and the “second-island-chain.” The first-island-chain encom-

passes a broad area centred around the South and East China Seas. It begins off the coast of Indochina, curves around Borneo and extends north all the way to the southern coast of Japan.

From a naval standpoint, Chinese strategists see this region as “China’s backyard.” Moreover, it is characterized by a series of “choke points” where hostile naval forces could blockade Chinese shipping and cripple China’s economy. China’s claim was designed to permanently control this territory. Some $6.5 trillion in goods pass through the region yearly.

China’s objectives would require every one of its neighbours along the South and East China Seas to significantly compromise their claims in the area. It would also force withdrawal by the U.S. Navy from the East Asian littoral. It’s unlikely that the United States’ defence treaties with those countries would survive such a pullback.

Even more problematic is Beijing’s delineation of the “second-island-chain.” This zone encompasses

the Philippines and Japan, and extends eastward to Palau, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

China’s ambitions to dominate the sea-air space as far as the second-island-chain may be wishful thinking. China’s ambitious naval construction program, however, suggests that the strategy is more than empty rhetoric. For the U.S. to be effectively excluded from this second zone would represent a collapse of its naval power in the region.

Ottawa, too, has an interest in the turmoil. The region accounts for about 10 per cent of Canada’s external trade. And the legal issues over sovereignty in the region will likely resurface in the disputes over control of the Arctic.

In short, China’s ambitions in the South China Sea will have far-reaching international implications well into the future.

Housing industry needs less regulation, not more

BY KEN GREEN IAN HERZOG & JOSEF FILIPOWICZ ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES VANCOUVER, B.C.— House prices have grown substantially in recent years, especially in Canada’s biggest cities. Many Canadians are concerned about this trend, and a number of solutions have been proposed.

However, many of these solutions are unlikely to be effective. Taxes on luxury properties might be an easy source of revenue, but likely won’t have a profound effect on the entire housing market. Targeting dishonest realtors can improve confidence in the market, but fraud and flipping are more likely to follow high prices than cause them. It’s tempting to argue for curtailing immigration and foreign investment, but this would be hard to do without harming the many sectors of our economy that depend on investors and immigrants for growth. Indeed, focusing on small pieces of the housing market is unlikely to reduce prices because, ultimately, price growth is the result of supply and demand.

But regulatory reform – simplifying the processes of obtaining building permits where housing demand has grown – can reduce homebuilding costs, increase the number of homes on the market, and subsequently push down home prices.

Housing tends to be less scarce, and less expensive, in markets where homebuilders are less constrained by geography or regulations. For example,

Houston, Texas has managed to remain affordable in spite of an economic boom, partly because its geography and regulations make homebuilding easier.

Closer to home, a new study by the Fraser Institute found evidence that regulations causing long and unpredictable approval timelines for homebuilders have substantially reduced the amount of housing available in Canada’s biggest cities. This is because these regulations make it more difficult, and less likely, for the housing supply to respond to demand with homebuilding.

The study also suggests that relaxing and reforming the right regulations can actually encourage greater urban density, a stated goal of many local and provincial governments.

This is largely because opposition to new building, long development approval timelines, and uncertainty tend to be especially problematic in cities near metropolitan cores, where demand is strongest.

So people who might prefer to live centrally end up commuting to Vancouver from Langley, to Calgary from Cochrane, or to Toronto from Brampton.

Reforming regulations to encourage new building won’t be easy. It will take careful thought and ambitious reform for city planners to cut months off approval timelines, or make these timelines more predictable.

But it can be done. In fact, our data show large differences in regulation between relatively comparable cities. Policymakers can look to their neighbours to find policies that might improve regulatory

processes.

Still, it’s true that a growing housing supply means that some neighbourhoods change, and that some open fields become housing developments, but the benefits outweigh these costs.

Municipal governments can address anti-growth pressures, streamline approvals, and mitigate uncertainty in residential development without compromising good planning. The additional homebuilding that would follow can provide good jobs while addressing rising house prices.

It’s also important for policymakers to reconsider low-density zoning and provincial policies aimed at preserving rural areas such as Ontario’s Greenbelt and B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve. These policies effectively take land off the table for would-be homeowners, with severe side-effects. Development in Greater Vancouver has leapfrogged over parts of the Agricultural Land Reserve, leaving many to commute through patches of farmland cutting through Vancouver’s suburbs.

Despite these challenges, city governments hold a policy lever that can help address unaffordable housing. They can encourage more supply and improve affordability, without compromising good planning, by carefully rethinking land-use regulations.

Should I stay or should I go?

DEAR ANNIE ANNIE LANE Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I are coming up on our sixth anniversary.

A few years ago, his mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. His parents live on the opposite side of the country from us.

Their eldest son lives near them and can help them out.

However, my boyfriend doesn’t think his brother is doing enough.

Ever since he went home for Christmas and saw how much his mom’s health had deteriorated, he’s been talking about moving back to live with his parents so he can take care of his mother and help out around the house.

I support him 100 per cent.

I know he’s incredibly sad that his mom is going through this.

Now the question is: Where is my place?

I like my job and my current city, and I’m not too far from my own parents.

But I am totally willing to drop it all and move across the country to be with him in this difficult time.

I’ve told him as much.

He is resistant and tells me I should stay, that he doesn’t want to drag me down.

I try to tell him he isn’t dragging me down. Helping him is what I want.

Then there are the logistics.

There isn’t room for me to live in their house. I suggested getting an apartment together that is near his parents’ house, but he is adamant about living with them. I don’t know where that leaves us. We’ve never talked about marriage, and I feel afraid to bring it up now.

Should I just stay put and try to make this work as

a long-distance relationship? — Stuck at a Crossroads Dear Stuck: Don’t move across the country for him. He asked you not to. If you were to give up your current life and follow him anyway, you’d be setting yourself up for a brutal blow.

Whatever his reasons, he has his mind made up to take this journey alone.

Stay where you are. See how things play out once he’s settled back at his parents’ house.

He may be more open to talking then. By the way, if neither of you has raised the question of marriage, it’s worth asking why.

Dear Annie: I’m 54 years old. I’ve worked in business for 30 years.

I started working in sales, made my way to telecom and currently sell security software to companies. I wear a suit to work.

It’s a big job with a big company on the East Coast.

Throughout the years, the people around me have gotten younger and younger.

I have been pretty good at adapting to the ever-changing business landscape.

However, recently, I feel as though technology changes daily and my co-workers and bosses are kids.

I can muddle my way through Excel and PowerPoint, but my strength is connecting with people. It seems as if everything is trending toward technical know-how, and I am feeling outdated. I am not sure I can keep up.

How do I keep pace with such a fast-paced world?

— Old Guy, Young World Dear Old Guy: Why not use those people skills to get to know some of your more technologically savvy co-workers?

There is bound to be at least one person there who would be happy to teach you some new tricks.

And that person could probably learn a thing or two from you, too.

After all, it’s an increasingly rare skill to be able to connect with people, spark conversation, inspire curiosity and change minds — and that rarity makes it all the more valuable, not obsolete.

Krispy Kreme may be expanding in Canada, but the cream-filled crop isn’t worried

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — American doughnut giant Krispy Kreme is expanding in Canada again after an attempt in the early 2000s.

The company says it’s opening up to 50 additional stores in Ontario and Quebec, where six outlets are already located, and then aims to expand to the rest of Canada.

But the fried dessert scene has changed since Krispy Kreme’s last attempt at doughnut dominance — in recent years, artisanal doughnut shops have cropped up across Canada.

And some of the owners and managers of those shops aren’t too concerned about their American competitor. Their thoughts: Glory Hole Doughnuts — Toronto Tara Sachs, a manager at the shop, said she’s not concerned about competition from the U.S. giant.

“There’s a really good sense of community and community support, and a lot of people are really into shopping local,” she said.

Sachs noted that there are three Krispy Kreme locations that have been in Toronto for the last several years, and that hasn’t hurt business at all.

And the doughnut they sell that Krispy Kreme could never beat?

The “Toast and Butter” doughnut, Sachs said.

It’s got brown butter frosting with sweet bread crumbs and cinnamon on top.

The Rolling Pin — Toronto The Rolling Pin isn’t worried about Krispy Kreme either.

“If people prefer to come to us, they come to us,” said Isabelle Loiacono, one of the company’s founders. “If they want a more mass-produced product, then they’ll go to (Krispy Kreme).”

She said the most unusual doughnut that they carry is the funnel cake doughnut.

“Nobody can beat it,” she said. “It tastes like a dream.”

The dessert isn’t just funnel-cake flavoured, Loiacono said. It’s a warm glazed doughnut, with vanilla whipped cream, strawberry sauce and a fresh funnel cake on top.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll feel at home, as Sun/Mars aspects banish boredom and increase risk-taking behaviour. Don’t overdo it though - or you’ll spend tomorrow cleaning up the messes you make today!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The pressure’s building at home or work, and it feels like everything has to be done ASAP. If you are disciplined and adaptable, then you’ll power through problems with ease.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re bored with the routine and familiar, so it’s a great day to make major changes, both personally and professionally. Innovative ideas and lateral thinking will really take you places.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The focus is on group activities, and your creative ideas will be appreciated by others. It’s also a great time to sharpen your research skills, as you dig up information that’s hard to find.

Art deco is returning

BY MEGAN BUERGER ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

If you’re tired of tapestries, taxidermy and other crafty kitsch that have taken over mass retail, you’re not alone. The defining design trend of the past five years — a feminine mix of California bohemian and mid-century modern that’s ubiquitous on blogs and Instagram — may have crested.

“It’s everywhere. It’s too everywhere,” Bethesda, Maryland designer Marika Meyer says. “We’re about to see a call for the masculine again, for something more structural and modern.”

What fits the bill? One theory is art deco, a style characterized by geometric shapes, strong arches and angles, and high-contrast color schemes. It first became popular after World War I and was a reaction to art nouveau’s whimsical ornamentation and floral motifs. Deco, which conveyed strength and industry, was seen as glamorous and bold.

“If you think about what’s going on in our country politically, it makes sense that we’re seeing it come back,” Meyer said. “A sense of uncertainty tends to drive people to seek structure and stability. Art deco has that.”

The style will have modern adaptations. Expect its signature sense of opulence — often evoked in sweeping marble staircases, pinstriped wallpapers and high-gloss paints — to be toned down in favor of high-tech or sustainable materials. And too much of one look can feel thematic, so designers predict people will stick to a few key pieces.

“Focus on the smaller moments, like a cocktail table or a tray,” advised Mat Sanders, who runs the Los Angeles-based Consort Design with Brandon Quattrone and counts Jimmy Kimmel and Jessica Alba as clients. “These pieces are like jewelry for a room and the easiest way to make a statement. No need to overdo it.”

Even in small doses, though, it’s important not to confuse boldness with flash. Tim Barber, a Los Angeles architect who specializes in art deco (he’s perhaps best known for helping Moby renovate a 1920s castle in the Hollywood Hills), said the style is often misunderstood as luxe or over the top.

“It’s under the top,” he said. “It’s about scale and exaggerated forms. You’d be surprised at how much drama you can achieve just by playing with proportions.”

Art deco posits that there’s power in the unexpected. A low coffee table, such as West Elm’s Metal Drum Coffee Table ($399, westelm.com), can make a neutral room feel artistic and modern.

A black steel table with strong angles ($425, consort-design.com) looks confident against a white wall. For added visual interest, consider a mirror so tall it almost touches the ceiling ($372, bedbathandbeyond.com) or a club chair that curves like a shell. Of course, antiques stores are gold mines for authentic treasures if you’re willing to pay big bucks.

If you aren’t ready to invest in larger pieces, try playing with patterns and textures. High-contrast ceramic tiles liven up a kitchen backsplash or bathroom floor, and unusual fabrics such as velvet or mohair spice up canvas sofas and chairs.

Wallpaper is an opportunity to experiment with classic deco motifs, such as fans and sunbursts, and to add a hint of glamour.

Meyer recently designed a powder room in a Maryland farmhouse for a client who wanted a blend of deco and Moroccan. She used a metallic pearl wallpaper called Lantern from Clarence House that was subtle and sleek.

Art deco’s biggest hurdle may be that it doesn’t have enough hard guidelines or rules to follow. There’s no catalogue to pull from or uniform to fall back on, and lots of room for interpretation.

“There’s definitely a challenge to it,” Meyer said, “but I think we’re ready for that.”

KIDS AT PLAY DEBBIE TRAVIS HOUSE TO HOME Dear Debbie; We are redoing our 5-year-old daughter’s room and would like ideas on flooring that will be practical but also fun. Thanks, — Bridgit Dear Bridgit; When it’s time to redecorate your child’s room, consider that children spend most of their play time on the floor. They can sprawl out, and surround themselves with all their favourite toys and crafts, moving from one to the next as the spirit moves. Play mats are popular for little ones, but I have found that more space is needed. High quality linoleum or Marmoleum is soft underfoot, hygienic, easy to clean, and comes in many youthful patterns. A low-pile carpet is another option. The carpet surface should be smooth enough to handle a procession of police cars, fire engines and dump trucks. And comfortable under tummies for reading and colouring too.

Carpet tiles provide you with the versatility of picking a style and design that is uniquely yours.

Check out www.flor.com, a one-stop source for a huge variety of carpet tiles and designs, with inspiration and designer help there to guide you through the process of creating your own carpet. Mixing colours produces playful designs that children love —ask your daughter to pick her favourites, and even help make up a pattern. Flor carpet tiles are hypoallergenic, and made with recycled Nylon fibers. Your carpet is put together by attaching tiles from the back with Flor’s adhesive dots. Online video shows how easy it is. You can replace the tiles, adding new colours or patterns as needed. Clean with mild soap or Flor has a Cleaning Kit for dry cleaning.

Once you’ve seen the luscious patterns, you’ll want one or two carpets for the rest of your home.

The Lilting pattern has a variation in textures that feels amazing underfoot. Its colour streaks and blobs appear to float across a white background. Heaven Sent is a soft loop pattern in solid colours with beveled edges. These tiles mix well with other styles.

House Pet speaks for itself, bold colours that take kids and pets in stride. Involve your daughter in the redecorating process and have fun.

A child’s focus changes quickly, it’s up to you to do some editing. First scribbles are endearing but not longlasting. Why not make a space in your kids rooms for them to store and/or display their art?

Children love cubbies, so divide up a bookshelf into small sections that will hold projects they are proud of. Another option is a display board made with three different materials.

Start by applying a large square of blackboard paint onto the wall.

Cut and frame a cork board that will fit inside the blackboard. Either hang or screw this into place; do not glue cork to the wall, it’s a nightmare to remove.

Finish with a small metal sheet, framed to cover the sharp edges. A long shelf at kids’ height is perfect for collections.

New York experiments with tiny “micro” apartments NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s first “micro” apartment complex is open for business, challenging the limits of minimalist living.

What the tiny dwellings lack in square footage, they try to make up for in amenities.

Carmel Place, a 55-unit complex that opened June 1 in the Kips Bay neighbourhood of Manhattan, represents the first time in decades that the city has allowed apartments to be built this small — ranging from 260 to 360 square feet.

That’s roughly the equivalent of a one-car garage.

It’s the latest entry in a national trend toward smaller urban housing.

The rise in single-person households — now nearly a third of New York City’s households — and ever-higher rents led the city to approve the experimental project.

Carmel Place got city land and a waiver from New York’s 400-square-foot minimum on new apartments, set in 1987.

Frank Dubinsky of Monadnock Development, which built Carmel Place along with the Lower East Side People’s Mutual Housing Association, said there would probably be more new micro-apartments in New York soon.

Compared to other modern buildings in its neighbourhood, Carmel Place offers relatively modest rents, and services and amenities — such as multi-functional furnishings — that are aimed at making small-scale living a little easier. Architectural elements like 8-foot windows and nearly 10-foot ceilings are also meant to make small spaces more livable.

The complex of services and amenities were put together by a company called Ollie, its name inspired by the words “all inclusive.”

“Just because people need a living room and a bedroom doesn’t mean they need a designated living room and a bedroom. They just need the functionality of both rooms,” explains Chris Bledsoe, co-founder of Ollie, which did design work on the apartment interiors as well. The firm nArchitects designed the interior and exterior of the building.

The amenities are meant to save tenants time and money, and create a sense of community, he said.

Carmel Place is “a more plug-and-play living experience — one that solves a housing need for the next two years of someone’s life, not forever. You don’t need to buy your own furniture or hire a cleaning company. Everything is set to go,” he said.

In addition to Internet and Wi-Fi, rent includes a weekly tidying service and a monthly deep clean, along with dog walking, dry-cleaning pickup and even a butler app called Hello Alfred, for customized errands. The nine-story complex also includes shared spaces.

Thirty-two of the units are market rate, with rents from $2,446 to $3,195. Another 14 apartments have rents set by affordable-housing programs topping out at $1,490 per month 60,000 people applied for those in a lottery.

“In cities, space is at a premium and the only real solution is to make living spaces smaller,” said Li-

sa Blecker, spokeswoman for Resource Furniture, which provides most of the furniture included in the micro-apartment units.

The furniture — much of it made by the Italian company Clie — emphasizes slim lines and multi-functionality.

The 9-foot-long sofa converts into a queen-size bed. A tiny cube of an ottoman transforms into dining chairs. A slim console table expands to seat 10.

Although the pieces are pricy — Resource Furniture’s Swing wall-sofa-bed surrounded by cabinets costs between $10,000 and $15,000 — Blecker says clients see savings in housing costs and “the realization that 350 square feet can feel luxurious if it’s well designed with the right furniture.”

Bledsoe said micro-apartments’ convenience and affordability can be particularly appealing to young

ALLEY CROSSING

singles, empty nesters, long-distance commuters, and baby boomers in transition or looking for an urban pied-a-terre.

Of course, tiny apartments in New York are not exactly new.

Veteran appraiser Jonathan Miller estimates there are about 3,000 older apartments citywide that measure less than 400 square feet.

And some real estate agents say New York’s young professionals are increasingly seeking small studios, willing to sacrifice space to be near work and away from roommates.

Cities from San Francisco to Boston have OK’d some micro-apartments in recent years, seeking to address housing squeezes.

Growing Potatoes 101 STEVE MAXWELL HOUSEWORKS Q: How can I grow potatoes in my backyard? I remember gardening with my parents when I was a kid, getting dirty and having fun. But we never did grow potatoes, so I never learned how.

A: Potatoes are one of the easiest vegetables to grow, and they deliver a lot of food energy from a given patch of soil. And when it comes to growing them, you don’t plant seeds, you plant bits of potato.

Every potato has what are called eyes. These can be just small depressions on the skin, or the eyes could have started to grow white root-like extensions outwards. Either way, cut a potato so each piece has two eyes, then simply bury each piece about the width of your hand beneath loose soil. You’ll get best results using seed potatoes for planting because they’re free of plant diseases. That said, lots of people I know plant and re-plant potatoes from their own garden without trouble. As the green tops of the potatoes grow, gather additional soil around them to make them produce more tubers. The tops will die when the lifecycle of the plant is over, and that’s when you can dig your main crop out of the ground. Just don’t necessarily wait that long. Sample a few new potatoes when they’re half grown. They taste the best. When you do dig, work from one side of the plants to minimize the number of potatoes you accidentally slice with your shovel. Eat the damaged ones in a day or two and you’ll waste nothing.

Cutting Plywood at Home Q: Does a tracksaw make sense for a home workshop? I’m looking for an accurate way to cut plywood for furniture projects and for making built-in furniture.

A: Tracksaws are great. I really like them. Think of them like a precision hand-held circular saw made to slide accurately along an aluminum guide track. The design of the blade plus a rubber lip along the edge of the guide means that tracksaws can cut very cleanly on both sides of fine sheet goods such as veneered plywood or melamine. There’s no chipping. No table saw on the market can cut more cleanly than a tracksaw. The rubber lip is also interesting because it marks exactly where the saw will cut. Just plunk the guide down, clamp it in posi-

Potatoes offer some of the most food value for a given amount of backyard garden space. Plant pieces of potato to grow the plants. tion, then cut. Tracksaws work perfectly for trimming doors to length, and for cutting long lengths of wood to width.

The only drawback with tracksaws is that it takes a little more set up time to complete a parallel cut than with a tablesaw. But the added flexibility of being able to make angled cuts is worth it in my book. Watch a tracksaw in action at BaileyLineRoad.com/tracksaw Deck Foundation Design Q: Is it better to support a deck on a house wall or on a foundation right next to the house? I hear different

things from different people.

A: When it comes to building, there are usually several routes to success.

This is one reason you’re hearing different opinions.

In this case another reason is that there are pros and cons to each option for anchoring a deck. Bolting to the house is mechanically simpler because you donut have to create a separate foundation along the house-side of the deck.

On the downside, anchoring to the house means you need to take steps to waterproof the connection between

deck and house. Sometimes this is easy, sometimes its not.

My own preference is to anchor a deck on its own foundation on all sides.

This is more work, but it’s less risky.

You’re not cutting into the weatherproof outer layer of your home, and there’s no chance the deck and house connection would be ruined by seasonal soil movements.

Decorating the bedroom DAVID FERGUSON CREATIVE SPACE

The bedroom is the one room in the house that is most likely to be neglected.

It is most often the last room to be decorated.

It is the room for which the least amount of thought is given to its appearance.

It is the room in which the least amount of money is spent on decoration and design.

It is a room that almost no thought is given to its function.

So why is the bedroom given short shrift when the average person spends at least one-third of their life there?

It is not a priority because it is a private space.

Generally accessible to only one or two people, it is a space in which we can be untidy, if we choose.

Dirty clothing can be tossed in the corner until laundry day; clean clothes can remain in the laundry basket until we find time to put them away.

Making the bed is a chore that will be at the bottom of a priority list on a busy day.

Spending decorating dollars in a place that no one will see seems frivolous.

Make no mistake that your bedroom will be seen.

It will be seen by only the most important people in your life, you included.

Why bother if it is just a room in which to sleep at night? True enough, but consider that it is also a place to rejuvenate, at any time of the day.

It can be a temporary escape from domestic pressures.

It can be a place to pamper one’s self.

1. Have it your way.

Above any other room in a home, and for all the reasons listed above, the bedroom is the one place where anything goes.

Earth tones are a placid choice for the bedroom.

Not only will they contribute to a space that is quite and tranquil, but coupled with soft green or blue tones and the look will evoke a natural feeling.

A floral look is best when it is bold. Oversized flowers will work well in a room with a neutral palette, contributing colour and life.

Bold floral throw pillows on a bed, fun floral curtains on the windows will give any room just enough flower power.

Stylish wall decals and custom wallpaper can provide high-style for your walls.

Everything from a wall-to wall world map for a student, to stylized polka dots in a modern bedroom, to nature-inspired tree and bird wall decals will make your room unique, interesting and personally yours.

2. Battle of the sexes.

Same-sex, different-sex, or no-sex, no matter who is sharing the room with whom, there will always be a need to bring together disparate looks.

The bedroom can be decorated completely differently from other spaces, ranging from a sweet and frilly design to a sophisticated, dark dungeon look.

Consistency is the most important factor here.

Even if two personalities have to be considered in the design, there is always a way to merge them.

For example, faux animal skins would not necessarily pair well with fine lace and linen, but soft faux fur may.

Spicing up any room with faux fur may inspire more than a few snuggles.

Modern metal and glass furnishings do not always jive with country pine, but festooned with the correct accessories and the modern look can be assimilated.

3. The right light on site.

Lighting is perhaps the most critical element in any bedroom.

No matter how much or what kind of furniture a room will have, its lighting will create the mood.

Most designers will agree that it is not a great idea to have a desk in the bedroom, but sometimes that is simply unavoidable.

The desk area should be lit separately from a direct light source.

A bedroom must have several sources of light, including an overhead or general illumination (for maintenance), task lighting (for specific tasks) and ambient light such as bedside lamps or wall sconces or floor lamps (for romantic or relaxing times).

Relaxation is the first consideration in the room’s lighting design.

Every light source, no matter from where it is used in the room, should be controlled from a dimmer switch.

4. Strike a balance.

For a room that is conducive to relaxation, it is imperative that it not feel cluttered, but nor should it feel empt.y Filling a room with too much stuff will make it feel overdone.

The bedroom is a place where serious paring should be considered.

For everything that gets used and stored in the bedroom, and ask yourself whether you need to keep it there, whether it can be relocated or discarded.

A clutter-free bedroom will contribute to peace of mind.

Although not all walls need to be decorated, it is best to avoid large areas of blank walls because that will make any space feel empty.

Changing the bedding is an easy way to spruce up a bedroom.

The simple addition of new, soft sheets and a new duvet cover will not only give the room a new look, it will make the bed feel new.

5. Real flower power.

On a personal note, this is something I started several years ago.

Every week, I treat myself to a fresh bouquet of flowers for my bedroom.

I awaken happier every morning, as I hope you will.

Next week, I’ll discuss en suite and family bathrooms.

For now, read more about bedroom design on my blog at www.topcreativespaceideas.com.

Found HOLM Nicholas Garrett Feb. 2, 2005 - July 12, 2016 Nicholas Garrett Holm, cherished son of Marvin and Tammy, was tragically taken to be with his Father in heaven at the tender age of eleven. Nicholas was an active little boy enthused with sport activities of every description. A loyal fan of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Edmonton Oilers, he was cheering year round, but his role as a Blackfalds Warriors Lacrosse player was a position to which he was passionate and devoted.

New to his sport enthusiasm, Nicholas had aspirations of acquiring status in the baseball big leagues after having witnessed his dad’s talents as he always strived to be just like his dad.

Nature, exploration and adventure were a big part of Nicholas’ life. The outdoors were always beckoning; with a skip and a dance in his step he was out the door only to return from his woodland and river excursions with treasures to unfold with awe and wonder before his family.

Nicholas was loved by everyone…from two to ninety-two, his infectious enthusiasm for life was shared as he gave each of us a little part of his heart and in turn we have given him a piece ours. We were blessed for only a very short time, but truly grateful for the time we had together!

Promising to one day be with him in eternal life are his loving parents; Marvin and Tammy, Brothers; Justin and Brett Holm and Matthew Feigelstock, Sisters; Katherine Feigelstock and Elizabeth Holm, Grandparents; Marvin Holm Sr. and Albert Broadfoot and Denise Angell, Tony and Jean Hayden, numerous Aunts, Uncles and cousins, friends and acquaintances. Into loving arms Nicholas is welcomed by his mom Dalyce Holm, grandmother Jeanne Holm, and cousin Mason Hayden. A Prayer Service will be held at the chapel of the Sylvan Lake Funeral Home, 5019 47a Ave, Sylvan Lake on Monday July 18, 2016 at 7:00pm. Those wishing to pay their final respects may do so from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. A Funeral Mass will be held at the Our Lady of the Assumption, 5033 47a Ave, Sylvan Lake on Tuesday July 19, 2016 at 11:00am. Cremation entrusted to Rocky Mountain Crematorium, Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. Condolences may be forwarded to www.sylvanlakefuneralhome.ca SYLVAN LAKE AND ROCKY FUNERAL HOMES AND CREMATORIUM, your Golden Rule Funeral Homes, entrusted with the arrangements. 403-887-2151

WASHINGTON — After frenzied, final decision-making, Donald Trump announced Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate Friday, adding an experienced politician with deep Washington connections to the Republican presidential ticket.

Trump’s pick was aimed in part at easing some Republicans’ concerns about his temperament and lack of political experience. Pence spent six years in Congress before being elected governor and his demeanour is as calm as Trump’s is fiery. While some conservatives are skeptical of Trump’s political leanings, Pence has been a stalwart ally on social issues.

Yet Pence is largely unknown to many Americans. And his solidly conventional political background runs counter to Trump’s anti-establishment mantra.

The two men scheduled a news conference for Saturday in New York to present themselves to America as the Republican team that will take on Hillary Clinton and her Democratic running mate in November. The duo will head to Cleveland next week for the Republican National Convention.

As Pence arrived for a private meeting with Trump Friday, he told reporters he “couldn’t be more happy for the opportunity to run with and serve with the next president of the United States.”

In choosing Pence, Trump appears to be looking past their numerous policy differences. The governor has been a longtime advocate of trade deals such as NAFTA and the Trans Pacific Partnership, both of which Trump aggressively opposes. Pence also has been critical of Trump’s proposed temporary ban on foreign Muslims entering the United States, calling the idea “offensive and unconstitutional.”

The reaction to the Pence choice from Republican officials was overwhelmingly positive — no small feat for Trump, given how polarizing he’s been within his own party.

“It was a pick that clearly shows he is pivoting to the general election,” said GOP chairman

Reince Priebus, who was in the midst of an interview with The Associated Press when Trump announced his decision. “He is choosing a person who has the experience inside and outside Washington, Christian conservative, very different style that I think shows a lot of maturity.”

Pence, a staunchly conservative 57-year-old, served six terms in Congress before being elected governor and could help Trump navigate Capitol Hill. He is well-regarded by evangelical Christians, particularly after signing a law that critics said would allow businesses to deny service to gay people for religious reasons.

Clinton’s campaign moved quickly to paint him as the “most extreme pick in a generation.”

“By picking Mike Pence as his running mate, Donald Trump has doubled down on some of his most disturbing beliefs by choosing an incredibly divisive and unpopular running mate,” said John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman.

Clinton spent Friday holding meetings in Washington about her own vice-presidential choice. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a favourite of liberals and one of the Democrats’ most effective Trump critics, was seen in a car that left Clinton’s home.

Trump spent weeks weighing vice-presidential contenders, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and only zeroed in on Pence in recent days. In fact, the selection process appeared on the verge of sliding out of control in the final hours before the announcement, sparking speculation that Trump might be changing his mind.

Word that Pence would be joining the Republican ticket began trickling out in news reports Thursday before Trump had made a final decision or called Pence to offer him the job, according to a Republican familiar with the situation. Trump was in California for fundraisers, separated from his closest aides, and was fuming about leaks that he viewed as an attempt to pressure him into the decision.

Still, Trump called Pence Thursday afternoon to offer him the job and ask him to fly to New York for a Friday morning news conference.

Pence accepted and boarded a private plane, along with his wife.

BATON ROUGE, La. — A black man killed in front of a convenience store was remembered Friday as the “meaning of southern hospitality” and a good man whose death at the hands of two white police officers “woke up Baton Rouge and America.”

Family, friends and activists gathered at Southern University, a historically black college in Baton Rouge, to both pay their respects to 37-year-old Alton Sterling and call for justice in his July 5 shooting death, which was the beginning of a tumultuous week in America’s fraught history of race relations.

In a roughly three hour service, luminaries including the Rev. Jesse Jackson and close family members spoke about Sterling, his death and the police treatment of African-Americans.

“Wrong must be corrected and the wrong must be held accountable,” said Rev. Al Sharpton. “We have got to stop going from funeral to funeral.”

Sharpton called for more accountability for police officers who kill African-Americans and reeled off a list of high-profile police shootings that have angered many in the black community: “We have an inferior judicial system that does not protect all of its citizens equally.”

Sterling’s death was captured on cellphone video and circulated widely on the internet. His death, along with another fatal police shooting in Minnesota last week, sparked widespread protests. Then the fatal shooting of five police

officers in Dallas by a black sniper heightened tensions even more.

A steady stream of mourners filed past Sterling’s casket, which was adorned with music notes and a smiling photo of the man. Sterling was selling CDs outside the Triple S Food Mart store, as he had done for years, when he was killed by police responding to a call of a man threatening someone with a gun. Police have said they found a gun in Sterling’s pocket.

One mourner wore a T-shirt that said “No Justice, No Peace.” Another carried a poster board sign saying: “Black America I’m Sorry!!”

Gary Chambers, master of ceremonies for the funeral, said at the beginning that the event was intended to be a celebration of Sterling’s life — not an opportunity for demonstrations about his death.

“If you want to protest please leave now,” he told the crowd, which included two senior advisers to President Barack Obama. Sterling leaves behind five children, including his 15-year-old son Cameron who participated in a televised town hall with Obama on Thursday.

One of the biggest rounds of applause from the crowd of a couple thousand people came for Abdullah Muflahi, who owns the Triple S. Muflahi said Sterling wasn’t just a man who sold CDs in front of his store.

“He showed me a lot of love. He looked out for me. He was friendly. He was welcoming. He was truly the meaning of southern hospitality,” Muflahi said. “We’re going to have an empty spot in front of the store.”
